Yeah, sure. What the fuck are you saying that we're going to buy him a coach ticket for? I said maybe. So I thought like- Oh, that's a loophole? No, we could like get a commitment and then- And then say, hey, man, we can't buy the coach ticket. No, we don't even have to say that.

We just like those – the emails that are about the plane ticket, we just don't return them. We just don't respond to them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then he just ends up buying his own ticket. That's a good plan. Yeah, because the deadline is looming and he has to just buy a ticket. Yeah, okay, good. All right, man.

All right. Back to the show. Back to the show. So, hey, Woody, maybe we'll buy you a coach ticket. There you go. See? Hey, it worked, man. That's hey, Woody, maybe we'll buy you a coach ticket. There you go. See? Hey, it worked, man. That's fine, man.

It worked. Deal with it later. All right. But all we want to know is what is your favorite U2 song? What is your favorite U2 album? Okay. That's all we know. That's it.

That's it. That's all we want to know. So, once again, let's close this up by just having you do your Woody Allen impression one more time. What about Turtle in the entourage yeah there you go talk about turtle by the way that's been an episode of talk about turtle oh should we do i feel like okay what you know what once we introduce our guest we should do a uh an episode of talk about Turtle. Talk About Turtle, yeah. Okay. So once we... Then we'll talk about Turtle a lot. By the way, I'm getting a text message

from one of our previous guests on the show. We've only had three guests previous on the show. We've had the late Harris Whittles, who I believe is a Jeopardy question tonight. Harris Whittles? Harris Whittles appeared in a Jeopardy question tonight. Are you serious? Yeah, that said, Harris Whittles book, and it was basically about Humblebrag.

Oh, my God. They're trying to get the people to go, what is Humblebrag? But his name is there in the actual question. Did the person get it? I don't fucking care. Me neither, man. He's dead. Me neither.

So the late Harris Whittles was on um lance bungs and uh paul f tompkins one of our previous guests who's just texting me um what what is he texting you he's talking about the the tour dates or not tour but the the live dates we're doing in new york shitty actually this sunday but it'll have been last sunday when this comes out that's so confusing in any case what i wanted to get on the subject of guests we have them on the show so let's wait you're doing live shows this coming sunday yes can i come watch are you in new york i'll be there yes i want to come watch okay do you want to be on the show? Are you going to bring your tux? I'll bring my tuxedo. Great.

All right. We'll see you on that show. Okay. By the time this comes out, it will already have happened, so it'll be a surprise. Great. We had, even though it's the future, we all get this. We had Bobby Moynihan and Taron Killam as well. Fantastic.

This will be good shows. And then Adam Scott and Paul F. Tompkins. Pretty good, right right come see us live if we're ever in your town not bad but my point is is we have guests and we have one

to your right to my left at sort of 11 o'clock where I am and he is a fan of all things music

he has his own podcast on which I appeared this morning we did a 10am show and it is 10pm right now so you guys have already been to the valley

together this is a long day this is a long day for us but you know what he loves you two so much or maybe dislikes them so much we don't know at this point I feel like he just plain old doesn't give a shit. By the way, we don't know.

Oh, we've said he. Okay, I was going to say we don't know the gender. He or she. What do you have? You got a dick or you got a poon? I've not been introduced. I will not speak. No, but this is where we try and guess.

Yeah. Do you got a dick or you got a poon? I have a dick. What kind of dick you got? Small. Okay. All right. All right.

All right. I'm getting a good sense of who this might be. Idiots. Yeah, I think I know exactly who it is. Isn't it in the description of the show? Yeah, probably. Is it really a surprise or a reveal for anybody? I can't hear myself.

This is infuriating. You can't turn yourself up, bro? I can hear everybody great except for me. I think it's... Faulty in the system. Fault in the system. Shall we introduce him? Yeah, let's do it.

Let's tag team on this. Let's do a letter at a time. Juh. Eh. Muh. Ye. Puh. Uh.

Rr. Duh. Oh! Duh. Duh. Duh. Duh. Duh.

Duh. Duh. Duh. Duh. Duh. Duh. Duh. Duh.

Duh. Jimmy Pardo. Hi, guys. Jimmy Pardo of guys Jimmy Pardo The Never Not Funny Podcast Hi thank you Scott Pleasure Scott Do we need to address this Cody

Engineer Cody I think it just worked out I think we just figured it out You just figured it out Whatever needed to happen That's not Putting it near my forehead won't help I can guarantee that

He's pressing the microphone I know a lot about sound Into your forehead I've been doing podcasting since 2006 The microphone at the forehead Is not've been doing podcasting since 2006. The microphone at the forehead is not the way to go. Cody sometimes likes to invade people's space. Well, confirmed.

It went right in my space. He was looming and invasive at the exact same time. Jimmy Pardo, welcome to the show. Yes. May I be the first to welcome you? I wanted to get in there before Adam did. Yeah, I apologize. It's too high. I'm so unhappy Yeah, I apologize. It's too high.

I'm so unhappy with this microphone situation. What's too high? I'm going to lower it just a tad, Cody. Lower it up. Sit down. You stay the fuck away from me. I'm not kidding around. Cody, back off, man. This kid can't wait to get near me.

I don't know what he's trying to do, but I did time in prison, and I will shiv you, you son of a bitch. Do you understand me? How many people you kill? How many in prison? Yeah. Or just in general? Well, give me two numbers

Prison and general Seven, fourteen Wow So fourteen in prison Fourteen all day And seven generally Yes So that is a total of twenty-one souls

Nope, nope It was fourteen all day Seven in the house Those souls go to heaven? All dogs go to heaven, don't they? That's true, that is a good point And they were all dogs that you murdered? I kill a lot of animals

Yeah, Mostly animals. Hey, before we go on, we need to do an episode of Talk About Turtle. Yeah. Here we go. Hey, welcome to Talk About Turtle. I'm Scott. This is Scott. And we have a special guest, Jimmy Pardo here.

Hi. And you an Entourage fan? Do I? Yes. What do you think about Turtle? I think he's probably the most interesting character on the program. Yeah. I agree.

I think that Turtle and – okay, you know how the universe, our universe, I mean, who knows how many universes there are out there. Our solar system as such. The sun, everything revolves around the the sun i feel the same way about turtle what about you scott i mean i think turtle revolves around the sun if that's what you're asking and how how does he do it or and how and how um hey this has been talk about turtle oh hey great episode. I enjoyed it. I felt like I was listening more than participating to it.

Thanks for jumping in there. I didn't know how to jump in. I didn't want to step on everybody's toes. I think you guys have a lot to say about Turtle, certainly more than I do. You had some good stuff to say about Turtle, I thought. I'll tell you this interesting little tidbit. You had a unique take on him. You know, that entourage, that program was based on that Mark Wahlberg guy,

who then unironically showed up to Conan with an entourage. Really? And I thought that was hysterical that he showed up with like four guys flanking him. Does he have a turtle in his actual entourage? I would imagine that he does, yes. Jimmy, by the way, if you don't know, Adam, works on the Conan show. Adam knows that. I do know that.

Works on the Conan show. Adam knows that. I do know that. And he's Conan's opening act, and then he also does videos and stuff for Conan Co. I do stuff for TeamCogo.com. I actually just did a pilot that Adam was kind enough to participate in. Oh, really? Yeah.

How did it all go? Went very well. We are now waiting as we play that game. The waiting. It's the hardest part, isn't it, Tommy? Now. Question here. The floor! It's the hardest part, isn't it, Tommy? Now, um... The floor is open for questions. Every time I go to Conan,

which has been a few times... Ben? Like Ben Wyatt? Yeah, like my character on Parks and Recreation. We always have words. Like, kind words. We hang out. Yes, I'm a friendly face. Yeah. Jimmy, I've noticed that you're the kind of guy that likes to walk into a room and just put his stuff on the table.

I see the first thing you did when you sat down, keys, wallet, phone, on the table. I don't want them on my person. You don't want to sit on them, right? No, I don't. Like Potsy would. I don't want to pull a Fonz. In your opinion, Fonz sat on it? No, because I think Potsy sat on it.

He tells the people, sit on it. He lets them sit onotsy sat on it. He tells the people, sit on it. Sit on it. I think Ralph Mouth tells the people to sit on it. I'll tell you something about Ralph Mouth. He still got it. Oh, he does. Mm-hmm. I don't think that texting is distracting at all.

I don't think it's affecting the show. By the way, Paul F. says, this is the show, by the way. Yeah, if you're wondering when we get to it, we're already there. When do we get to U2? When do I talk about 40? I said to Paul F., Adam's going to do the New York show. And he says, I said, I'm with Adam Scott. He's going to do the New York show.

And he says, well, la-di-da. Oh, well, that makes. Can't wait. Actually, I'm not totally sure I can, but it would be really fun. Oh, fuck. Oh, boy. When do you get there, bro? Oh, boy.

Bro, I get there Friday. Fridays. Is this another episode of When Do You Get There, Bro? Yeah. All right. Hey, welcome to When Do You Get There, Bro. I'm your host, Scott. This is Scott.

And we have a good friend on the show. Hey, bro. Hey, it's our good friend, Johnny Pardo. Hey, bro. Bro we have a good friend on the show. Hey, bro. Hey, it's our good friend, Johnny Pardo. Hey, bro. Bro, when do you get there? What's up, bro? When do you get there, bro? By Thursday.

When do you get there, bro? I get there at Frives. What about you, bro? Frives. There's been an episode of When Do You Get There, Bro. A great episode. Not bad. That was a real good one.

Jimmy, how... Question here. The floor is open. one. Jimmy, how... Question here. The floor is open. By the way, this is the middle of... We're in the middle of another slowing it down episode. Yeah. To give you some context, we have to do so many episodes. U2 is not putting out their new record.

We have to stall. And this is... Is that the premise? You're stalling until... Have you done compilations yet? That's actually a solid idea. I thought that's the one we were doing here today. I thought because you guys just did Atomic Bomb.

Right. And then the one that came after that was, if I'm not mistaken, U-218. Oh, yeah, the best stuff. So I thought we were going to do that one. That was the first time they, a single disc, greatest hits, gentlemen. Yeah, I love it when bands, like, I remember R.E.M. had two different best. Todd, enough about R.E.M. They had two different best of albums, and then right after they broke up, they released a third best of album.

Can I explain that to you? The first one was because they were on IRS records. No, I understand. You're talking to the fucking R.E.M. super fan of all time. The one unironic tweet he's ever done was the day REM broke up. He wrote a bummer of a tweet like, this is terrible, the greatest American rock band of all time. Yeah, I said the greatest American rock band of all time,

and people were like, what about the fucking Beatles, bro? Well, they're not American, jackass. Not American. They're some of the lovable lads from Liverpool that we've been talking about. The only viable argument people could come up with was the Doors, and I was like,

absolutely not. And I like the Doors. And I don't like R.E.M. Yeah, but R.E.M.'s better, right? Well, what's your question? I may not understand your question. He just said he likes the Doors, does not like R.E.M. And then your follow-up was, but R.E.M. is better.

But when I said The Doors, you said, no, no, no, no. Well, I don't think they're in contention for Best American Band. But you think R.E.M. is. No, he doesn't like R.E.M. Well, no, but I hear what he's saying. I don't like R.E.M. necessarily. I like Murmur, I like Reckoning, and then I checked outur. I like reckoning. And then I checked out. You understand what I did there? I checked out.

Absolutely. Like you're at a library. Yes. He checked it out. They got too loud for me so I left. So you shushed them. I shushed them to silence. Even if you don't personally like them, you have to recognize the breadth of their...

Guys, take it down a fucking notch. Hey, I've been told that we're killing time here. You have to recognize their breadth of their... Guys, guys, take it down a fucking notch. Hey, I've been told that we're killing time here. I have zero fucking interest in REM, but I'll kill time talking about it. Do I think they're really one of the greatest American bands of all time? No, I do not. But how did you know the minutia

of their best of releases? I used to work for MCA Records back in the 80s and so IRS was distributed by MCA. Okay. So, Eponymous was their IRS best of. That was the one with maybe the top one

worst album covers of all time. And then... It is really bad. Right, we can agree on that. I should tell you this, I did the artwork. For Eponymous? I did.

You did, really? I take the full blame now. In time... Wait, were you actually buying that? No, not until he said I actually did like a third time. Then I was like, well, why would he insist? Well, maybe because nobody would believe it. Just like Phil Hartman did the album cover for Poco,

why couldn't I do the album cover for R.E.M.? That's my question. Why is that so unbelievable? You don't know what kind of art I do, Adam. That is precisely why for a split second I did believe you. It's because Phil Hartman did the Poco cover. Let's also say this. I'm a damn good improvisational actor and let's give me a little prop.

Fine. Thank you. What's Poco? It's a band. You know what? It's the Eagles farm system. What? It's like AAA for the Eagles. Is it like Wu-Tang affiliates? Yeah, they got a guy from Poco to join them.

Timothy B. Schmidt, Randy Meisner. I want to say there's a third guy. Didn't Timothy B. Schmidt stick around for quite a while? He's still with them. Yeah. He had a solo album called Playing It Cool, which has the top. You know what? It's worse than R.E.M.'s greatest hits.

Timothy Bullschmidt. It's called Playing It Cool, and it's him in a tux, and he's doing this. He's snapping. He's in the middle of a snap. Timothy B. Schmidt. The Eagles documentary, the three-hour one yes timothy b schmidt is by far the weirdest of all of them the the most likable the by far the most likable because those other guys are assholes oh my god unbelievably so i was like you do realize this is being recorded and will

be broadcast on television and you are making their mate they say it you do realize this is being recorded and will be broadcast on television, and you are making this documentary. They say to you, it's their thing. This is your documentary about yourself. They had final edit. And you are being a total prick. Why are you watching a three-hour Eagle documentary? You didn't watch it? Oh, it's great.

Oh, it's fascinating. You have to watch it. You have to watch it, yeah. Because it's just about people fighting. Until the last 45 minutes, it's all about their current stuff, and it gets very boring. Thumb is down. Thumb is way down. And even the breakup in 1980 or whatever, they kind of gloss over and blame it all on.

It's all Felder. It's all Felder's fault. I was like, no, there's no way this is this guy's fault. No, I think it is. You're listening to you talking U2 to me. Watch the doc, baby. Didn't you feel terrible for Felder watching that? Not only did he obviously

get fucked over, but they're blaming everything. Everything on him. They fuck him over and he's the fall guy for everything. Oh my, yes. And it was obvious

that it was Don Henley and Glenn Frey butting heads, but now that they're back together, they won't acknowledge it. Like, why not get into that? That is the fascinating stuff.

They completely sidestepped that. That's all filler. You suck your own fucking dicks. You gotta be kidding me. This is, this is right in your wheelhouse. This is right in your wheelhouse. You guys are talking about the fucking Eagles. I signed on for a YouTube podcast. Right. Not to talk about the fucking Eagles.

To be fair, he did sign on, signed on the dotted line for a YouTube podcast. Oh, I misunderstood. signed on the dotted line for a YouTube podcast. Oh, I misunderstood. There was a dotted line signage? Yeah. What are you guys fucking talking about the Eagles for? Jesus Christ.

Let me say this. My entire life, and that's a long time, Adam. I'm much older than you are. I thought Don Henley was the biggest prick in music. Me too. Turns out, nope, it's Glenn Frey. Glenn Frey. Glenn Frey.

Absolute asshole. Yes. I couldn't believe that somebody could top Don Henley in being a pretentious prick. Just the shit he was saying about how he's going to kick. Who was it that he said he was going to kick there? You sign on the dotted line by Sundown or I'm going to come over there and kick your ass. I think it's Felder. He actually says that in the documentary by Sundown like he's a cowboy.

Well, Desperado, that whole album. That whole, they thought they were. Just because I'm taking a pretzel break doesn't mean you guys

can talk about the fucking Eagles for half an hour. Let me tell you something, Pretzel Head. I took my wife. Hey, wait a minute. You heard it.

I took her to see the Eagles at the grand opening of the Forum. Sure, she must love you. Oh, I would go see them in a second. They were great. I took her to see the Eagles at the grand opening of the Forum. Sure. She must love you. Oh, I would go see them in a second. They were great. I'm sure. My favorite part is when Glenn Frey goes, we were tired of, you know, because they do it in order.

The show is called The History of the Eagles. We were tired. What in order? Like they do their songs chronologically? Chronologically. They do really? Except for Hotel Cali, except for like three of them, which they of course save for the end. But he says, you know, we got tired of being a quiet folk band.

We decided we wanted to rock. It's a peaceful. Oh, my God, really? You think that's rocking? Glenn? I was, oh. Oh, it was already gone. It wasn't Peacefully.

It was already gone. It was the one that they were rocking out to. They have some great songs. Let's not deny that. No, there's no way you can deny that. I denied it for years. Yes, shut the fuck up! But then there's a certain point.

I can't take it anymore! Stop talking about the fucking Eagles! We're killing time while you enjoy a snack. And thank you for offering. I've been here for an hour and 50 fucking minutes. Those actually look really good. I was given tap water and an Advil to tide me over. That's true.

In the meantime, I'm dying from allergies. I don't know what asbestos is leaking through the vents in this fucking place. Okay, guys. You know what? I can't eat carbs, but thank you. What? This is literally one stick of carb. All right.

What do you got, carb sticks? Yeah, let's turn it down. Let's get a little heated in here It's funny because it sounded like an argument But we were just agreeing with each other You were screaming at each other Agreeing about the Eagles I think it's just the excitement of finding another person

That sat through all three hours of that thing You guys should start your own offshoot podcast though And not waste I've been thinking about doing one about the band Chicago because, you know, that's my love.

You love Chicago. And then I realized I kind of already do that show with Never Not Funny. We talk about Chicago enough. You talk about them a lot on that show. Oh.

But, I mean, wouldn't you like to do what we're doing here where you, like, go in depth? Yes, I would. You know what I mean? But I have to find

the right guy. I have to find the other Chicago guy. That's exactly what we did. We found the right guy. Because our wives had had enough of us talking about you two at home. So we had to... This is the only

place we can do it. First of all, I need a third podcast. Who else likes them? I don't know the answer to that. I would have to put it out on what they call Twitter or Facebook, Adam. You tried to get me into them.

That's not true. I did not. No, you did. We had a conversation one day. Jimmy and I, we talked about this earlier on Never Not Funny. Yes, we did. We've been friends now for 15 years. That's right.

We've known each other a little longer, but like friends for 15 where we've been on the same page. Absolutely. We started doing projects together in 2001. But since 1999, we've been like friends same page. Absolutely. We started doing projects together in 2001. But since 1999, we've been like friends. Right. Who cares? Oh. Fuck you, man.

I'll tell you who cares. Fuck you. Don Felder cares. That's who cares. I blame Don Felder. Remember, Don Felder cried in his interview. Yes, he did. Showed emotion.

Those other two robots. Oh, God. They were brainwashed into blaming, I had a bad sandwich. Don Felder made that sandwich. Yeah. Just because I like you two

doesn't mean I should have to sit through this shit. I agree with you, but shut up. When you say you two, you're talking about Adam and I, right? Yeah, that's true. All right, break.

Okay, so we, we, would you like an Advil and some water? Why were we talking about this? I want to know who I can get on my Chicago podcast. Oh, yeah. You tried to get me into them by – we talked about Chicago, and I was like, oh, I cool up, and I love Chicago.

And you're like, oh, what do you like? I said, well, we have this The Best Of, and you said, which one is it? And I told you which one it is, and it's their love ballads from the 80s. Yeah. And you're like, what? You don't know the early stuff? Is that what you said? And you're like, I'm gonna get you a thing. I'm gonna get you a thing. Is this impression...

Is it accurate? Does I hate this guy? It's in the ballpark. Okay, it is. I'm gonna be honest with you. Because you know what's not? You're Woody Allen's. What do you mean? Okay, you're that guy with Chicago. That's who I am with R be honest with you. Because you know what's not? You're Woody Allen's. What do you mean? Okay, you're that guy with Chicago. That's who I am with REM. Like, I know absolutely everything about them and know, like, if the best ofs, whatever,

I could make the perfect, like, 12-song introduction. Then why aren't you doing an REM podcast? Well, we've discussed it. Right around the corner. We may have to segue this into an REM podcast. Well, we've discussed it. Right around the corner. We may have to segue this into an REM podcast. We started this

as a podcast just to lead up to their new album because it was supposed to come out in April. U2's new album. U2's new album. But isn't the rule

God will tell them when it's released? Isn't that the quote? Yes. Really? They said some quote. I don't think so. And then

they've Hey Jimmy, whatever you said. Thumbs down, jerk. They've delayed it, so now I don't know what we're going to do. We're just sitting around talking about shit now. But we may segue into R.E.M. But Jimmy is really into music, obviously, for those of you who are being introduced to Jimmy.

Really into music, really into classic rock. I do like classic rock. That is my bag, yes. Classic rock and roll? Yes, classic rock. I do like classic rock. That is my bag, yes. Classic rock and roll? Yes, classic rock and roll. Yes, sir. You see a lot of bands. I do.

Even bands you don't like or musical acts you don't like because you have a thing where you try to see people before they retire or die. I did. I was on my I'm going to see them before they stop touring tour. I think that's what I called it. Who did you see? Like Bette Midler? Barbara Streisand.

I saw Barbara Streisand, which made sense on paper. What was that show like? A lot of soapbox talking. A lot of – About what? I want to say Barbara Boxer was in the audience. So there was a lot of Barbara Boxer ass kissing. Bab talking about Bab.

A little Bab talk. And it turns out that maybe there's only a half a dozen Streisand songs that you know and like. Otherwise, it's like a lot of Don't Rain on My Parade. You know what I mean? It's a lot of... Don't tell me not to fly. I've simply got to. What's wrong with that?

Nothing at all. Your version, I enjoy. It just was a little lengthy and wasn't that great. It sounds like my dick. No, it does not. Lengthy, but not that great. No, no. But the audience loved it.

I believe they enjoyed it. Yeah. And then also, who's the four guys? El Devo? Not El Devo. El- Il Devo. Is it Il Devo? Yeah. The four opera singer guys? El Devo? Not El Devo. El... Il Devo. Is it Il Devo?

Yeah. The four opera singer guys? They were on too much. There was a lot of them. Their opening set was too long. And then they came back out in the middle while she took a break. They sang along with her. Oh, boy.

Oh, so this is in one night? Yeah, at the Staple Center. Is this like 2005, 2006? Right in that area there. Dragged my wife. I dragged my wife because I enjoy my wife's company. And so I dragged her to a lot of concerts. Okay, here's a good question because Adam and I, or Scott and I rather, we talk on the show about our wives not really enjoying.

When I put on, by the way, for last week's How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, we had just gotten back in town. I had been gone for a week. I had one day off and we wake up in the morning i open up my computer and i start playing how to dismantle an atomic bomb because i have to listen to it in preparation she just goes what the fuck yeah because it's my one day off and i'm playing you two they've become you two widows in a way does your wife jimmy how she enjoys your company, so she probably likes going out.

But does she go, do we have to go? My mother moved here recently. I moved my mom out here a few years ago. How I met your mother. This is like how I met your mother, but it's how I moved my mother. Am I being cancelled? Am I going out on top?

What's happening? Now my mom gets dragged to these. My wife is no longer. So she's opted out. That's so sweet. You bring your mother to concerts. I took her to see Chicago this past summer. I took her to, who else did I?

I took her to a few this past summer. How many times have you seen Chicago? Close to 100, I want to say. And how many times have you made your wife see Chicago? Oh, she's seen them probably, let's see, we've been together 15 years. She's probably seen them 15 times. And what does she genuinely think about it?

Does she try to put on that face that Naomi and Kulak put on of like, hey, I'm having a good time. Yeah, I would believe that's the case. And she still puts the face on. Yeah, the last time we went was down in Long Beach about two months ago, which, by the way, was the second best I've heard them sound. Really?

82 was the best, and then this was the second best. Wow. And even then she was like, I can't do this anymore. No more. So she's out. She's out. And how many original members are left? Four.

The Three Horns and Robert Lamb. So – Keyboarders. And then how many people are on stage? 47. No, I know that sounds high. You got Lou Pardini on keyboard and vocal. He replaced Bill Champlin, who replaced Donnie Dacus, who replaced Terry Kath.

Then you've got the Three Horns, James, Lee, and Walter. Got Robert Lamb on your keyboards. You got Jason Sheff who replaced Peter Cetera. And then you've got- On vocals. And bass. Bass, yeah. Alfredo Reyes on percussion.

And you've got Trissim Bowden on drum who replaced Danny Serafin. So have you ever seen them live, by the way, Scott? No. I've seen them once. You saw them once, and I remember you saying, boy, I thought it was going to be a good show. Instead, it was a lot of guys with sunglasses on. That was your quote. They're like band geeks.

We didn't know that. Because Kulap and I like their power ballad stuff. And we're like, you know what? Even though, what's that dude's name? Robert Palmer? No, Peter Cetera. Even though he left, the new guy they have is probably good. And then we went,

and it's like, it's a lot of like horns and band geek guys. Yeah, they're a horn band, Scott. Yeah, but they're like acting like the Blues Brothers. You know what I mean? Like super cool. Yeah, putting on shades and dancing around with their horns. Well, they're 50,

and now they're 70. Yeah, they're 70. They're 70. Now when you saw them, they were 55. And would you say that- I can't drive it, I'll tell you that. I know they're 50, and now they're 70. Yeah, they're 70. They're 70 now. When you saw them, they were 55. And would you say that— I can't drive it, I'll tell you that. I know you can't, Sammy.

I imagine you go see Chicago now like at county fairs. Those are the kinds of places they play. No, they still play. No, they play the Greek. They sell the Greek out for two nights, and then they were just down at the Long Beach. For two nights? Yeah, they're still a big, big draw.

They really are. Wow. And they put on, and a lot of the Chicago file will complain that it's the same set, but when you could fill basically two and a half hours with nothing but hits, why fuck with it? Because everybody there knows those songs. Would I like to hear an album cut? Yes.

Would I like them to do like a private fan only? Yeah. Yes. But they would have to do it in a smaller- At my house. They would basically have to do it at my house. But no, there are a lot of bands like, say, Smashing Pumpkins or something. I'm trying to think of a better example of this.

But they'll play a longer run in a smaller theater. They'll do like a week in a smaller theater and play like more hours. Tom Petty recently did that. Where with his... By the way, this this is you're listening to you talking you to to me this is a lot of classic rock for the played like all album track he played I said you know what I'm tired of doing all the hits but we're gonna play all album tracks I know it's gonna be a smaller group of people coming out to see me so he played like more dates or

whatever but it was more thrilling because it's like, oh, I don't have to hear that thing. Don't come around here again. But at the same time, I saw him at Bonnaroo, and it's the only time I've ever seen him, and there's, I think, how many people go to Bonnaroo? Like 65,000 or something? And that's what you want when you're in that setting, because

you're out there with a massive group of people, and you want everyone to be singing along with Free Fallin'. Bonnaroo is the festival put together by Bono, is it not? Bonnaroo. Bonnaroo? That's a nice time out there, isn't it? Yeah.

When will the two play Bonnaroo? I'm going to say they never do. They don't have to. I bet they don't. But you know who doesn't have to is Paul McCartney, and he played it when I was there. He's doing something weird that I don't... Yeah, you're right. He's downplaying who he is, which I find very interesting.

It is interesting. He played Bonnaroo, and he played three hours at Bonnaroo. He had fireworks. He did the normal show, but he's like, this is my first time playing a festival. Also, he played at Amoeba. Yeah. What's he up to? I think he has really smart management, and I think he's smart and knows certain things he needs to do to stay relevant and just not be a legacy actor.

Yeah. I enjoyed that part in Dave Grohl's movie where the second half got a little lengthy for me when they were – When they're just playing songs, yeah. But before that, it was – Before that, I loved it. If it was just an hour movie, we're talking about – Sound City? Sound City, yeah. If it was just an hour-long we're talking about – Sound City? Sound City, yeah.

If it was just an hour-long documentary, but you can't make hour-long movies. No. You know what I mean? But it would have been great. It would have been really good. Because once they get – basically, then it was just a making of an album. Right. But I did like the Paul McCartney part because you saw Paul McCartney just being what he is as a musician and talking to another musician.

I thought that was fantastic. Yeah. He's also made some really good albums in the last 10 years. For my money, some of his best albums were albums like Sergeant Pepper. Idiot! Do you have another example? How about the White Album? White Album I understand is very good.

I have not heard it myself. Abbey Road. Now that's another one I hear nothing but good things about. Great album. Just great record. Now which one of those would I start with? Because this is all new to me. What do you think?

I think if we're talking about albums. Yeah. Scott. Yes, Scott. Albums. Albums. Not songs. Not individual songs.

We're talking like front and back. A cohesive piece of work. I see. You can't go wrong with Meet the Beatles. Meet the Beatles. Meet the Beatles. From what I understand, that might be their first. Is that their first one? What?

You're meeting them, of course. Hello, introducing. Just a great album, in my opinion. Just where it's like, you know what? They put such care and thought into like. And I'm a little weird. I'm a little, as we were talking about in the previous episode, my view is a little askew. Askew, yeah.

You have an askew view. I love Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Yeah. It really, for my money, maybe it's just me, but for me, it's one of the first records to actually be like, have a concept to it. Yeah. And have a through line. And they were even playing characters, and they were on the cover as different characters.

Oh, I see. Yeah, yeah. And even Ringo Starr, the drummer for... Ringo Starr was a drummer of the Beatles. The drummer of the Beatles? Yeah. Wow. And he's still with us and he's still going out there.

Yeah, kicking it. Wait, one of the Beatles is still alive? Two of them. What? Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney. Paul Mazzart? Mazzart? McCartney.

Oh, okay. You're thinking of Paul Mazurski, the director? Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Yeah,art McCartney. Oh, okay. You're thinking of Paul Mazurski, the director? Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Yeah, it's not him. Great movie, Paul Mazurski movie, Scenes from a Mall. Oh, so good. We just talked about that today! With Woody!

Did you talk about it on your other podcast? We did. We talked about it because there's a mime scene in there, and he punches a mime. God damn it. Did they just steal that directly from Tootsie? Do they do that in Tootsie, too? That's another movie. That's what we talked about today.

We were talking about it earlier. The hatred of mimes. In the 80s and maybe early 90s, there were a lot of scenes in movies where people hated mimes. And it's something that I can't really relate to because how many times have you ever fucking seen a mime in person? Well, I think mimes were a bigger thing in the 80s. Maybe, but... Well, like in Tootsie, he's walking in Central Park, and there's a mime doing a routine, like he's pretending to balance on something, and he just walks and pushes the mime.

And I remember... Is this an episode of I Love Films? This is an episode of I Love Films. Let's go to it. Hey, guys. Welcome to I Love Films. This is Scott. Hey, guys. Welcome to I Love Films. This is Scott. This is Scott.

And we have a special guest, Jimmy Pardo, with us. Hi. Thank you, guys. We love films, and one of the films we love is Tootsie. Tootsie, 1982, and we were just talking about the scene where Dustin Hoffman's character, Michael Dorsey, pushes over a mime in Central Park. Now, I remember going to acting school and taking a mime class, and our mime teacher, who— Teaching mime or just a teacher who happened to be a mime?

It was a long class. No, she was a—she's a geometry teacher who happened to be a mime. Speaking of improvisational acting. Can I interrupt with a quick question? Oh, sure. Anyone can interrupt. I love film. Scott, you and I went to the same school, the same acting school.

Who was the mime teacher? Oh. Do you remember the name? I was just trying to think of it. Wait, you guys went to the same acting school? Years apart, we did. Yes, the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. In Pasadena, California.

Her name, if I want to say... Is it Karen Hensel? Oh, no, that wasn't mime. That was Stiles. I don't know what that even is. Yeah, that was like classical theater. It was, okay, very good. Karen Hensel.

Yeah, yeah. Who's amazing. She was very attractive. Was she attractive? Yeah, absolutely. Would I have had a crush on her? Is that possible very good. Karen Hensel. Yeah, yeah. Who's amazing. She was very attractive. Was she attractive? Yeah, absolutely. Would I have had a crush on her? Is that possible? Yeah.

Karen Hensel. Now, the mime teacher was someone else. She was E.T.'s hand in E.T. You're listening to I Love Films. I just watched the behind-the-scenes E.T. thing on the Blu-ray. And she's in it? And she's in it. Adam, how do you have so much fucking free time?

You're watching a three-hour movie about the Eagles, and now you're watching a documentary about E.T.'s hand? I have a time-stopping clock. What the fuck do you do? So anyway, I remember the mime teacher saying that when Tootsie came out, all mimes were furious, and the mime business went into the toilet for a while. Plummeted because of Tootsie. That can't be a real conversation, can it? No, I remember her telling the class that.

But how do they communicate it to each other? They don't talk. It sounds a lot like this. This has been an episode of I Love Films. Good episode, guys. Thanks. Good to be a part of it. Yeah, nice stuff.

What's that off of? Pop? This is a B-side from the Rattle and Hum era. Unbelievable. Welcome back. During the break, we're here with Jimmy Pardo, by the way. Hi. During the break, Adam turns to me and goes, I have to go in a half hour. And I said, to what?

And you said, to sleep. Yeah. What the fuck? What do you need to sleep for? This is a guy, by the way, when we were in Washington, we talked about Washington at length in our last episode. We left that party at the same time. We left that party at the same time. I crashed.

I had a 9 a.m. flight and I felt terrible. The next morning. The next morning. Yeah. I left. I immediately went to sleep. You, meanwhile, we left that party

at the same time. You went home and watched the new remake of About Last Night. Yes. And another movie and your flight

was at 7 a.m. No, not another movie. I watched About Last Night and then I watched I don't remember what it was. But you told me you watched something else. I did. A whole brand-new movie. No, not a movie.

A TV show or something, like a half hour, and just fell asleep. Was it Trading Spaces? That's a fun show to watch. It was. It was Trading Spaces. Great. That's fun. This is what I'm getting at.

It's like you're wasting so much of your life watching whatever it is. I knew I could sleep on the plane so I could stay up late. I just couldn't go to sleep for whatever reason. Well, we had just met the president of the fucking United States. Maybe I had that coursing through my veins. But my point is like what do you have to do in the morning that you have to get up for? Well, I usually have to get up around 6.30 in the morning. For what?

As Jimmy will attest, children wake up fairly early. They do. They wake up earlier than we do. It doesn't mean you have to wake up. Actually, it does. Yeah, it kind of does. In what? What?

Just pull the blinds, put on the earplugs. Just get the butler to get up with them? Yeah, Lee Daniels the butler. Anyway, so we're going to – look, we're deep into this show. We got more than a half hour left in this. And we have to find out about Jimmy and his own personal legacy with U2. When he first heard of U2, we got to get to him. Anyway, you're listening to you talking U2 to me.

This is slowing it down too, and we're just slowing it down. We're talking – we have our guest. We want to hear what he thinks about No, Not the Eagles. No, Not Chicago. U2. Because this is a U2 podcast.

So Jimmy. I could talk about that Eagles documentary for hours. Fuck. We watched it in like three sittings, my wife and I. And this is the best way to do it.

It really is a terrific documentary. And it's very long. It is lengthy. So you watched two minutes of it, two minutes of it, and then two hours and 56 minutes. Yeah. That was's very long. It is lengthy. So you watched two minutes of it, two minutes of it, and then two hours and 56 minutes.

That was really the smartest way to do it. We just couldn't get into it at first. It took us a while to get into it. But it's a great documentary until they completely

sidestep the reality of why they broke up. They did a little behind the music on it. You covered this at length. That's the joke! I thought that was the joke. It may not be. They did a little behind the music on it. You covered this at length. That's the joke. I thought that was the joke. It may not be.

I think Adam was truly in it. It may not be the joke. I apologize. I'm just recapping what we already said. All right, Jimmy. Yes, question. I have to ask. The floor is open for questions.

As co-host of this program, I have to ask it. Yes. When did you first hear of U2? Scott, that's a great question. I appreciate you asking. Do you really want an answer? Of course I want an answer. Do you remember the first time you heard of U2?

When did Zoo Oprah come out? I don't know. Zoo. Zoo Oprah. Zoo Oprah. Did you say Zoo Oprah? I saw them at the Eragon Ballroom, I want to say in 83. Uh-huh.

But it was before that, obviously. Well, what's the... No, 83 would have been when War came out. And we can agree that's not good for anything, right? No, absolutely nothing. Say it again. Absolutely nothing. No, it would have been Sunday Bloody Sunday, that era.

Do you remember what songs they played? Were they waving a white flag around? Why did you go see them? That's a great question. My buddy Dave, Daver. Oh, I guess it was 84. I saw them live in 84 because I didn't get hired at the record store until 84. Okay.

I went with Dave and Michelle. Is this Dave, the guy who does the theme song? He does the theme song for my show, yeah. Okay. My buddy Daver, who stood up in my wedding. Great guy, Dave. So I saw them live in 84 at the Aragon Ballroom. So this is Unforgettable Fire era.

No. No. 84? Yeah. Oh, and maybe that's 85. Yeah. Let me look this up. Anyway, go ahead.

No, what's 84? I mean, they were just about to break. They hadn't broken big yet. How big is the Aragon Ballroom? Not big. I also saw Brian Adams there when he was at the peak of his powers. So that was for the—what the hell is that album called? Reckless.

I saw In Excess of the Aragon Ballroom. 84 is the Unforgettable Fire, you turds. You go fuck yourself. What was 83? 83 is war. All right, then when in 84 did Unforgettable Fire come out? We talked about this 1 October 1984. So it's very possible then that they could have,

no, they wouldn't still be touring for the other one. Yeah, sure. No, but I didn't see it. It would have been maybe June. It had to be Unforgettable Fire. It had to be. It had to be. But by that time, they were playing pretty big places.

They would have been, right? But why were they playing the Aragon Ballroom? Maybe it was war. Maybe it was war earlier in the... But it was 84. Definitely Aragon Ballroom. By the way, this is not boring. This is what this show is about.

This is the show. This is it. So take your time on this. Nope, I'm good. We need to figure this out. But why did you go? I'm going to... No.

I think somebody bailed. They had an extra ticket. Some frenziers. Michelle and Dave. They may or may not have had a thing going. I don't know what they had going on. Guys, it's 1984, Aragon Ballroom, December 11th. Of 84. It's definitely Unforgettable Fire. 12-11,

never forget. Yeah, that's what I said. No, it's not. It was a cold day in Chicago. I said it was Unforgettable Fire when he said it was 84. I'm. No, it's not. It was a cold day in Chicago. I said it was Unforgettable Fire when he said it was 84. I'm the one that screwed it up. It was the October album. No, I said it might have been October. Now listen.

By the way, if Unforgettable Fire came out in October, it should have been called October. They already had that album. And October should have been called May or whenever the fuck they put that out. These guys are idiots. Anyway. So they're Irish, gentlemen. Can I give you the set list, by the way? Oh, do you have the set list on it? I have a set list here.

I would like to hear that set list. Isn't that weird that you can do that? I know, I love that. Chicago, Illinois. Are you comfortable when you say it, I sing a lyric of the song? Okay, here we go. 11 o'clock TikTok. All right, go ahead.

Next one. I will follow. I will follow. Okay, here we go. 11 o'clock TikTok. All right, go ahead. Next one. I will follow. I will follow. Go ahead, next one. Seconds. Go ahead. I may not have enjoyed this show. MLK.

Keep going. The Unforgettable Fire. I do not like that album. You don't like The Unforgettable Fire? No, I don't. That's my personal favorite. That's Scott's album. Why don't you like that album?

Because I know how much you love it. What? How about them not even playing a song from this album until like four songs in? Yeah, or fifth. Well, no, MLK. It's right in there. Six is Wire. So they got a rock block of Unforgettable Fire here.

MLK, Unforgettable Fire. I remember this now. Sunday Bloody Sunday. I like that now. The Cry. What is The Cry? The Cry is off of October. It's a B-side from October. It is? I like that now. The Cry. What is The Cry? The Cry is off of October. A cover or something?

It's a B-side from October. It is? I have no idea. The Electric Company slash Send in the Clowns. Electric Co. Send in the Clowns. Snippet slash Amazing Grace Snippet. So he would say while they were continuing on. Basically the same thing that was from Under a Blood Red Sky.

I remember they go into that little thing on there as well. A sort of homecoming, bad, October, New Year's Day, Pride. And that's Pride, their big hit at this point. That's how they closed the first set. Then the encore is Party Girl. Wow. It's party, party girl. They did not have much material.

Gloria and then 40. Sing with me. This is 40. Wow. It's Party, Party Girl. They did not have much material. Gloria and then 40. Sing with me. This is 40. So. That's stage banter. Okay. Here's some concert reviews. Best show ever submitted by Karen.

Oh, Karen does know what she's talking about. Thanks, Karen. Wow submitted by Ryan. Ryan gets it too. First show I ever went to submitted by Jack. Oh, submitted by Ryan. Ryan gets it too. First show I ever went to, submitted by Jack. Oh, Jack. Jack likes to be vague with his reviews. Let you know where he was there

and what number on the ranking it is. First show. Number one. That's his first one. I think that The Cry is a non, or is an unreleased song because they break it down by what album everything's on. They say Unforgettable Fire, six songs.

War, four songs. Boy, two songs. October, two songs. B-Sides, one song. That would have been Party Girl. Non-album songs, one song.

And then unreleased songs, one song. And that is The Cry. The non-album song is 11 o'clock TikTok. So yeah, The Cry, I have no idea what that even is.

I'm going to look it up though while you guys talk. Would you guys talk please? Yeah. So wait, so you guys talk. Would you guys talk, please? Yeah. So wait, so you thought this was a boring concert. I don't remember a lot of it, to be honest with you. There's a chance also that maybe I enjoyed myself with some liquids. What kind of liquids?

Probably beer. I was a big beer fan. I like beer a lot. Alcoholic beverages. Yeah, I like beer a lot. This concert was 30 years ago. How does that make you feel? Oh.

And so after that... This is the cry, by the way, from... Possibly from the Us Festival. Oh, this is a good song. Somebody cries, somebody cries. Really? Just in quick. This is the Us Festival.

You are here. This is a good song. Somebody cries, somebody cries. Oh, yeah, I've heard this before. Wow, yeah. They never released this. here. This is a good song. Oh yeah, I've heard this before. Wow, yeah. They never released this. I guess they never released this. So it seems like now you're enjoying YouTube, Jimmy. I like that song a lot.

Okay. That's pretty good. You know what? This is maybe the one episode that a YouTube fan actually would be like, they're fucking finally talking about it. Right. Why didn't they talk about the cry? Well, now we are. So shut up.

So, Jimmy, after this concert, you're like, eh, whatever. I went through a phase. Truth be told, I found, in this one piece, I found him, he and Sting, I found so fucking pretentious and pompous that I hated them unnecessarily. From when to when did you? U2, after A Blood Red Sky, I kind of shut down. And then it took me a long time to get back in. So Joshua Tree.

Joshua Tree, great songs. Okay, so you were. Bullet to Blue Sky is probably my favorite U2 song. Okay. That's weird enough to be your favorite. Why? Slapping them down. You're like an album I hated.

100. 200. That's right. Scott and I agree that we're both very, very sick of that song. Yeah, we're sick of Bullet of the Blue Sky. Well, I'm sorry if I like a song, guys. Wait a minute. You're saying no need to apologize.

I think The Cry might be my favorite. I'll just say it. You're saying no need to apologize. I think the cry might be my favorite. I'll just say. You're saying that Unforgettable Fire. Actually, Sunday Bloody Sunday is, but that's too on the nose.

And then New Year's Day. That's a good one. You're saying Unforgettable Fire, you were out, but then Joshua Tree, you're back in.

I wasn't back in for a while. I wasn't back into that until, what was the one after that, please? Rattle and Hum. Yeah, boy, I didn't like that album, that movie at all. I didn't like that at all – what was the one after that, please? Rattle and Hum. Yeah, boy, I didn't like that movie at all.

I didn't like that at all. So then all of a sudden, Octoon. Somehow I got back into them, but I didn't like that. And I didn't like – I didn't like – boy, I got a weird U2 history. So you didn't like Octoon, baby. Everyone has their own different U2 history. And then I didn't like Pop. I didn't like Zeropa.

What about Zeropa? You didn't like any of these. Then All That You Can't Leave Behind with It's a Beautiful Day. Came back strong, baby. Came back strong. Came back strong. You love that album. Talk about that.

The Staples Center. Talk about that. Great tour, right? Really good show. Great show. Really good show. I went with Pat Francis and enjoyed that. And when you hear that song, It's a Beautiful Day,

what do you say to people? Are you like, you two? You know what? I didn't think that I liked you two anymore. I think basically it was like I felt like it was, I mean, I stated the obvious. They went back to what they did very well. But it's not what you even liked because you didn't like

their early stuff. Interestingly enough, I would say Under a Blood Red Sky is probably in my top 25 albums of enough, I would say Under a Blood Red Sky is probably in my top 25 albums of all time. Really? Under a Blood Red Sky? Yeah, even though I'm not the biggest U2 fan. And that's an EP. That's what they call an extended play, that's right. Yeah, of course.

Not Wide Awake in America, that's only four songs. No thank you. Nice try, 1985. I'm a little confused with your kind of U2 logic. I feel like you're a very casual listener, so you can have a skewed logic. It's okay. His view is a little askew. I understand you have an askew view.

But what about the album after All That You Can't Leave Behind? Great question. How did you dismantle an atomic bomb? I bought it at CityWalk at Sam Goody. Yeah. Goody got it. For probably $18.99, but we happened to be there, and I was very excited to buy it. Yeah.

Because you're back in at this moment. I am back in. And I... Didn't like it. I didn't love it. I was bummed. This is Scott over here's favorite YouTuber. Well, listen, what's it called?

Something Crumbs on the Table? Yeah. You were hearing our previous episode. Now listen, I will agree with Scott that the first five songs are pretty great and then I kind of lose interest. Now what about,

now Joshua Tree, you liked but weren't, you still thought they were kind of pretentious b-holes. Like you were like, these are undeniably great songs, but I've had enough. But I've had enough of these guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, you know, I – like, but if I'm watching VH1 Classic,

which I don't anymore because I don't know what channel it is on. Yeah. I don't think it's available. Does that exist anymore, VH1? Probably 334 on DirecTV. Is it – but I don't think it's in high def. I think that's the problem. Oh, okay.

Right, and I only watch high def because I like to see things crystal clear. But I don't think those videos would high def. I think that's the problem. I only watch high def because I like to see things crystal clear. But I don't think those videos would ever be in high def, would they? That's a great point. Maybe that's why they don't do it. But I like that video. What's the black and white with on the horses? Is that New Year's Day? They're on horsies?

Like if that comes on, yeah, the U2 horsey video. Let me look it up. I think it's New Year's Day. All right. Where it's like a cold, like if that comes on. Are they on horses? I want to say they are. Huh.

Is it Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses? No, that's a completely different band. What? I don't know. But you didn't like Octoon Baby. No, give me the hit off that. One. No.

One. No, I do like One. Yeah. What about. Who did the cover of that though? A female. Oh, Mary J. Blige. That's great. See, I agree. That. Yeah. What about... Who did the cover of that, though? A female... Oh, Mary J. Blige. That's great.

See, I agree. Scott disagreed with me. I love it. I don't care for that. I love it. I love it. Because I didn't like the U2 one at all. Really?

Yeah. And what else off that album? I didn't like that album. Even though it was like... Mysterious ways. A worldwide smash. Yeah, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. McDonald's is very popular, too.

No, but critically, everyone's saying this is a masterpiece. Well, I mean, the Monster Mash was like a graveyard smash. You're an idiot. You are an idiot. Now, listen. I'm going to backpedal because now that I'm thinking about mysterious ways in my head. It's all right. I was singing it on my way here. It's alright.

It's alright. It's alright. It's alright. It's alright. That is the worst Woody Allen I've ever heard in my entire life. She moves in mysterious ways. She moves in mysterious ways. See, I think that's fantastic.

I think Scots is not good. So we never got to, you talked about, you went to see them at the Aragon Ballroom, but we never talked, when did you first hear of U2? Oh, God. You're an idiot. Oh, God.

We didn't ever talk about it. When I saw that video of them on the horses on MTV, whatever the frick. I think that's New Year's Day. Yeah. Oh, it is quiet. Then they had their last album, No Line on the Horizon. Did you go buy that or were you out?

I did buy it. And what did you think of that? Yeah. I can't even tell you one song off there. Like, what was the single? Vertigo? Get on your boots. No, that's from...

What's Vertigo on? Vertigo's on the one that bought Sam Goody. Yeah, that's the Sam Goody 1899er. No, Get on Your Boots is the single. 1899, remember that? They used to charge us $18.99 for CDs. For CDs. Yeah.

Fucking bullshit. At the mall they did, but I was at the mall and I was excited to buy it. Yeah. Because I love that. And did you put it in in the car and you're like, eh? Danielle is not a, she, my beautiful wife despises them. Okay. So you had to wait until you got home.

So I waited until I got home, yeah. Why does she despise them? She just, she does not like his voice at all. Really? Yeah. Never liked a single U2 song? No, she does not. With or without you?

Well, she'll like it with... She doesn't like it no matter who she's with. With or without you. So you got that no line on the horizon. Yeah, I did buy that. And then I want to say that I listened to it one time. Yeah, yeah. That was a one and done.

Not interested. No. Yeah. No. But I did buy the reissue of Under a Blood Red Sky. As I mentioned, I love that. What about their singles records? Yeah, I've got...

You buy those. So do you have all of their records? What is your question? Because you buy a lot of records. Do you own them all? That's a great question. I don't know. At one point, yes.

The answer would be yes. Right. But I also could say that about Rush. But I feel the same way about Rush as I do you, too. I buy the album the day it comes out, listen to it, can't wait to listen to it, and then go, eh, I'm good. So do you still buy Rush albums when they come out? Yeah, the day of. Still?

Yep. And they still put out albums? Yeah, I think maybe two years ago was the last one. Someone say you rushed to the store. No, nobody says that. No one said that? Nobody would say that. I apologize. I've heard someone said that. Nope, nope. It was okay.

It was, you know, Yeah. Huh, so, and then how many times have you seen them live? Just once a year? Who, Rush or U2? Rush. Pick one.

Okay, Rush I've seen probably a dozen times. About 12 times. A dozen times. I would say so, yeah. Still a great show? It's a little long in the tooth these days, but it's good. Have you ever seen Boston play? Yes.

Oh, my God. We're back on this. Great show, right? I've never seen them. No. They are in the top two most boring shows I've ever seen in my life. Boston? Boston and Toto. What about that last Cars show? Oh, that's it. You're right. No, they are in the top two most boring shows I've ever seen in my life. Boston? Boston and Toto.

What about that last Cars show? Oh, that's it. You're right. Cars, number one. Boston, number two. Toto, number three. The Cars are from Boston. Well, maybe there's something boring in the water.

Didn't the Cars tour without Rick Okasik? Yes, with Todd Rundgren on lead vocal. You saw that, too, right? No, I did not. Tell your Todd Rundgren story about when you saw him. Todd Rundgren toured with Joe You saw that too, right? No, I did not. Tell your Todd Rundgren story about when you saw him. Todd Rundgren toured with Joe Jackson. Which I love Joe Jackson. I would go see that show.

That sounds like a great show. Todd opened, and then they closed the show. Duetting together. Duetting together. But during Todd's set, for whatever reason, he kept telling the front row he was going to jizz all over them. I'm going to jizz all over you. I'm going to pull my dick out and jerk it off and come all over you and danielle and i are like what the fuck is going on were you in the front row

luckily no the splash zone we were up top uh but we were like where was it where were these guys playing house of blues no the on wilshire the what is now the saban oh okay uh no yeah it's called i think it's called it's the saban? I think I saw Penn and Teller there. There's no doubt about it. Yeah. But he kept on... So to this day, though, I want to meet Todd Rundgren. Apropos of nothing.

Well, because I want to know, were they yelling at him? Yeah. Were they heckling? Yeah. Did he look down and see the guy that his wife is fucking? Like, why did this happen? Because he would like, you know, hello, it's me. I'm going to come all over you.

He was saying it angrily. Angrily. Todd, if you're listening, by the way, I have no doubts that you are. Oh, absolutely. If you're listening, come on the show and let's figure this out. Why would you be saying that? Come on the show and tell us why you wanted to come on those people. I have to know.

Because then here comes Joe Jackson. Who is stepping out? Have you ever Googled Todd Rundgren jizz? Oh, that's a great. I'm going to see it. Oh, if there's video of it, how fun would that be? Very. And how was Joe Jackson?

He was terrific. Yeah. And by the way, Todd Rundgren, and I love Todd Rundgren. Yeah. He was awful that night. He was awful. And we only stayed, I need to apologize, Joe Jackson opened because they were flip-flop. Oh.

And we only stayed because we knew they were going to do the duet at the end. Yeah. Right. So we tolerated, we're like, I would just leave, but I want to see him do. What was the duet? They did like a Beatles song or something? I want to say they did like Steppin' Out and then something else. Yeah, yeah.

And then, you know, some covers or whatever. Ah, interesting. But I think my wife tolerated that one. Do you think this was a tour like the Sammy Hagar, David Lee Roth tour where they would switch every night and they hated each other and never spoke? Or did they appear chummy? I can't answer that. I was in the balcony. Okay.

What concerts, Jimmy? Yeah, question over here. What concerts has your wife ever liked? That I've taken her to? Yeah, yeah. The Eagles. She did enjoy the Eagles very much. She came out and going, you know what?

We've been married for 10 years at this point, 15 years together. You've taken me to a lot of boring shit. Yeah. And this one? She enjoyed that. It was a home run run we did see that one was at the old forum uh where it was some benefit and it was uh uh billy joel the eagles tom petty stevie nicks it was like all these people on one show and that was fantastic oh

joff ogrety was the other one that's like that one that was great that was great i'm gonna go see uh billy joel at the holly Bowl. What day are you guys going? Saturday? Is there more than one? He's doing like four. Oh, wow. My wife and her father will be there. Yeah, I'm going on the 17th. I think I am too.

I think my wife is. I'm going with Casey Wilson and her fiancé. They're getting married the next weekend. Oh, wow. You've got to be kidding me. On the 21st? I believe so. I can't know.

That's wrong. 24th. Yeah, that's what I meant. And we're going so. I can't know. That's wrong. 24th. Yeah, that's what I meant. And we're going to Billy Joel the week before. That's great. That's going to be a fun show. Last time I was

at the Hollywood Bowl, who was I with? But this guy right across from me. What did you guys see? Flaming Lips? Nope. We saw Fish.

Fish. Oh my God. By the way. That episode's coming out soon. It is. Analyze Fish. Hollywood Bowl episode coming out soon.

That was almost a year ago. I know, but Harris will attest, he had to go through all of the audio that we recorded. Hours. Hours. It was a big job and one that I just couldn't do. And then he's like, finally got so upset. He's like, just give it to me. Just give me the tapes.

I'll do it. And I gave it to him. And then months went by. I was like, how are those tapes coming? He goes, yeah, I see kind of your point. This is a job I can't do it anyway he finally did it we're gonna record very soon that'll be out great great great stuff we have to take one more break when we come back we're gonna talk more you two if that's even possible on you talking you to to me hi guys scott ackerman here let's do a little role playing all right um pretend okay first of all you're you you're not playing a character in this but

I hope no one tries to steal this money from me. This is a lot of money, $250. Now imagine throwing that money into the waste paper receptacle or a garbage bin. What? What are you doing? Why would you throw that money into the trash? Well, that is exactly what you are doing if you are leasing one of those expensive postage meters for your small business.

You talking U2 to me?

Adam, you seem to have shut down. I do. A light kind of went off in your eyes. Yeah, I'm fried, but I am back for this last leg. Did I make you mad when I said I didn't like Unforgettable Fire? Is that what you're shutting down on? That's mine. I'm not crazy about that album, personally.

That's so weird. Even after we talked about it and you said... You know the one that we listened to and we said, wow, this is really good, is War. Let me guess. I just said it. I just fucking said it. Oh, did you already say it? I thought it was a war between the two of you on whether or not you liked it,

and then I wanted to guess the album title. But it was war. War. Listen to War, Jimmy. Like, track for track, it's pretty perfect. It's pretty fucking good. Yeah. It's pretty fucking good.

I'm going to do a Chicago one. You guys have talked me into it. You should. Just for fun. I have to find the person to do it with, though. Who would you ever talk me into? I know who it won't be. It won't be Cody.

Cody. Where did he go? He's behind you. He won't be Cody. Cody, where did he go? He's behind you. He's stuck up behind, oh, he's taking pictures. I wanted to get a picture with making sure the microphone was definitely blocking my face.

You know what you should do? Yes, put it. You should, at your studio, have an episode of your show that's just Chicago. Have Scott and I come and you give us

the Chicago tutorial and play us and convince us that they're the greatest band in the world. How would you do that? Or would you rather – you'd rather have someone that already loves them to talk about it. And then you talk about it in depth. How would you – I think so.

I think that would be fun. I don't think anybody would listen to it. Although I'm fun and entertaining. We didn't think anyone would listen to this. Yeah. And we have at least a dozen listeners. You're on a sitcom and he's on his own TV show. You didn't think anybody would listen to this. Yeah. And we have at least a dozen listeners. You're on a sitcom and he's on his own TV show. You didn't think anybody would listen?

You jackasses. Jimmy, how would you – try to convince us right now. How would you do it? Would you do it through album cuts or would you do it through their singles? How would you get someone into – or how would you – I would tell you to buy Chicago Nine, which is their first greatest hits from 1974. That's as many inches as my dick has. So that's probably a pretty good album.

Really? 33 and a third? That's a lot of inches. Wait. You would suggest a greatest hits rather than like an album. I would for Chicago because that's a flawless greatest hits. Okay. Now, I have the single disc – or no, the double disc Greatest Hits.

Which covers their entire career. But the first disc of it, is that what Nine covers? Probably, yeah. Which one do you have? What's the cover? Is it Nine Songs? It's Brown. No, I believe it's Ten.

Remember, that was always Ten back in the day. But why is it called Chicago Nine? It's their ninth album. He was always 10 back in the day. But why is it called Chicago Nine? It's their ninth album. All their albums are numbered except for 12, which was called Hot Streets. Why was it called Hot Streets?

Because it was the first album that they had fired James William Gursio, who was their producer and mentor. And Sven Gulli. What's that? Talking about Mike. And Sven Gulli. I say Sven Gulli because that was a character in Chicago. He hosted a horror movie. I think. But he.

Sven Gulli. It's like Svengali. Yeah, but he's. But he's a ghoul. But he's a ghoul. I like it. And then Terry Kath, of course, killed himself. Really?

And then. One of the original members? One of the members. The guitarist. The soul of the band, man. Really? Yeah. They soldiered on. I soul of the band, man. Really? Yeah. They soldiered on.

How did he kill himself? Jerk it off? Believe it or not. He yanked his butt until his pulse stopped. Pulled a Michael Hutchence. He squirted out his life force. You think maybe that's what Ragnar was talking about? Maybe.

He was going to kill himself on the stage? I'm going to jizz on you. All over you, clunk. Did he ever actually say jizz? I think he was saying come all over you. I want to come all over you. Now, did you look on YouTube to see if there's video of that? I've looked up Todd Rungren jizz.

Well, look up Todd Rungren snapping. Put up like Todd Rungren meltdown. These are options. Yeah, there's nothing for Todd Rundgren jizz, but Meltdown. What about Todd Rundgren, I'm going to cum all over you? Yeah, how about that? Okay, I'll look that up. Here we go.

He was going to answer your question. I'm going to cum. He was cleaning his gun and it went off and he shot his gun. Okay, I've just looked up. Oh, so he didn't purposefully kill himself. Oh, that's awful. Oh, Jesus. No, yeah. Okay, when did just looked up. Oh, so he didn't purposefully kill himself. Oh, that's awful. Oh, Jesus. No, yeah.

Okay, I've just- When did that happen? 1978. Oh, boy. I've just looked up Todd Rundgren and then in quotes, I'm going to come. And? C-U-M. Quite a lot came up, but here's something.

My writing and junk, and here's the little quote on google and it says album because i says so produced by todd rungren who also produced their 73 self-titled debut ellipsis he moaned to me i'm going to come so that's on the same article but an ellipsis dividing those two thoughts thoughts. I will admit, maybe I'm tired. I don't know why you're giggling. Scott is having his own little party over there. How do those connect? We're not looking at it, so we don't see the humor you do. What I'm saying is, you know how-

That's not going to help me. That's a very small computer. When you look at Google and something comes up, it'll give you the two things, but an ellipsis in between of like, oh, yeah, it's mentioned here, and then the other thing is mentioned here. How do those two connect? Oh, I see what you're saying. One is talking about an album Todd Rundgren produced,

and then the other thing is he moaned to me, I'm going to come. Anyway, that amuses me, but you guys can go fuck yourselves. Can we? It's a beautiful day! I'm Going to Come features Warren's exquisite readings of Todd Rundgren's Pretending to Care. Anyway, guys, I can't find this. We'll never figure it out. Is that one of his albums, I'm Pretending to Care?

Boy, what if, I don't know, what if he was singing, what if those aren't lyrics to a song, and all this time I thought he was being a dick? I'm going to come all over you. And it's like, oh, he's just doing a song, jackass. He's just doing track three off of a... By the way, I... Giant hit, I'm going to come all over you. I should mention it's 11.07 at night.

We've been recording since, what, 7.30? 7.30 is when we started. We meant to start at 7, but we got a late start on it. Oh, did you? But we're definitely talking about U2 at this point. We definitely sure are. Can you name the band members?

Which band? U2. You've got that Bono fella. You got the edge on guitar. Sure. You got Bono and Vox. Sure, Bono Vox. Of course. You got the edge on guitar. Sure. You got Bono and Vox. Sure, Bono Vox. You got the edge on guitar. You got Larry Mullins Jr. Is that right?

Am I close? Yeah, close enough. Wait, what is it? Close enough for jazz. Larry Mullin Jr. Oh, so I threw an S on there, so I'm a dick? Yeah, well, yes. And then the fourth guy plays drums.

Bass. Fourth guy plays bass? The bass git fiddle. The bassist is, boy, that's a great quote. Boy, oh boy. I'm only drawing a blank because you asked me.

If I would have just walked down the street, I could have answered this. Give me the initials. AC. Like air conditioner. Adam Clayton. There you go.

So I just put Todd Rundgren, I'm going to come into YouTube. And what comes up is new version, I'm going to fuck you. What? Let's hear it. I don't know if it's... Here. Wait. Here, I'm handing you...

No, but it's not Todd Rundgren. It's by... Fuck you. Fuck you. It's by... I did handing you the record. No, but it's not Todd Rungun. It's by... Fuck you. Fuck you. It's by nuns. I did it to him now. It's by nuns and shotguns. This is, by the way, Jimmy, this is a continuing bit we do on the show

that no one gets when they're listening, but it's whenever we hand over the iPod cord, we like... Flop it so you can't grab it. By the way, okay, so while you got... Oh, hey. This is Nuns and Guns. No, this is Linco DJ.

It's called Fuck It, I Don't Want You Back. All right. What does that have to do with Todd Rundgren? I don't know. We're just hearing a song now. I don't know. That's all that's happening. I don't know.

We're just hearing a song now. I don't know. That's all that's happening. I want to pause here for a minute and talk about something that someone sent us. Was that YouTube? Did you say YouTube? You want to talk about YouTube for a minute? A woman by the name of Amy Trummer.

Could be a man. Who knows? Amy? Yeah. No. I don't want to just automatically. I feel like that's a woman. I don't want to automatically assume it's a woman. I think you should.

We just got this tonight, actually. Sent us a really nice picture of Adam over here. That is not bad. It's pretty good. That's a nice drawing. A drawing that was done with a pencil, I believe, of Adam sitting in front of a mic, and the quote is, this is good rock and roll music. And she drew this and sent us a really nice note.

It's two pages long, so I can't really read the whole thing. No, read the whole thing. Okay, here we go. Dear Adam Scott Huckerman. Oh, no. No, we're not going to read the whole thing. Jimmy's face just sunk. Absolute terror on his the greatest part of this thing was what adam said i might have i have to leave in a half hour i was like oh that's a win 40 minutes

ago but i want to thank her i don't want to be here i don't i don't we're having a good time i usually you've now been here for at least two and a half hours. I've been here for two and a half hours. This is part of the show. This is part of the show. We get just incredibly punch drunk. I'm usually in bed by now. So am I. But anyway. I'm playing words with friends at this time. I want to thank Amy.

We get a lot of good fan art, but she actually mailed this. And she framed it. She framed it. She sent that in the frame. In the frame, yeah. So that's going up here in the studio. No, we got it in the mail today and just decided to immediately frame it. She framed it. She sent that invite in the frame. In the frame, yeah. So that's going up here in the studio. No, we got it in the mail today and just decided to immediately frame it. Would it be cool with you if I kicked you in the balls?

That'd be great. Would that be all right with you if I punched you in the fucking face? Then Amy could draw a picture of that? Your bloodied mug? Sure. Let Jimmy punch me in the face, take a photo, and then Amy can draw a real picture of it. Here we go. All right, here we go.

And go, guys. I actually acted it out. I acted it out. Why did I hit you three times? By the way, we all were like, do I do the sound effects? We all lifted our heads up. I swung my fist as if it was real. And then I applauded.

Adam clapped his hands together three times. It was awful. You fucking idiot. There was a ricochet on my punch. There is no fight anywhere that sounds like none. Good stuff. Nuns and guns. Thanks, everyone, and especially Amy for all of your fan art.

Can I see the letter? Yeah, here. We're going to read this off air. Different episode, right? But we also got some good fan art. This is part of the slowing it down episodes. We're talking about our fan art. We got some good stuff lately.

Someone sent us an approximation of the October album with our faces in it. Oh, that's cool. We get a lot of great fans. Oh, yeah. That was a really good one. Yeah. There's one of you, me, and Paul F. Tompkins that says, Tease, please, Bono.

There's Kicking the Green Animal, which is Michael Hutchins kicking a turtle. I haven't seen that one. A lot of great stuff. It makes us laugh. Thank you so much for listening, and thanks for sending us stuff. And it always makes us laugh and makes us feel like, hey, this is a good time doing it. Jimmy, you're probably going to get some stuff. Went to see In Excess at the Aragon Ballroom for the Listen Like Thieves tour.

You and I saw In Excess together. They were fantastic and was backstage and one of the Ferris brothers hit on my girlfriend right in front of me and basically said, why would you want to go home with him when you can stay with me? What? Wait. Say that again. Yeah. Sorry. One of the Ferris

brothers. Yeah. Wanted to say maybe John. Which dude was he? The saxophone? Very cute. Very cute guy. Oh, yeah. I know who you're talking about. And he... Adam's nodding at me like you know.

He's nodding and sniffing. It was the most uncomfortable second of my life. That's it. That's the story. Wow. Now, did you guys watch Rockstar NXS? Yes. We loved it.

It was the greatest show. And we saw NXS together that was it. We loved it. That was the greatest show. And we saw NXS together. At the Greek. At the Greek because of that show. With that guy. With that guy, J.D. Fortune. Me, you, my wife, and Pat Francis. Yes.

And by the way, that's a concert my wife enjoyed. We enjoyed that show. How was J.D. Fortune? He was great. He was great. But I have to say, speaking of Todd Rundgren, I felt a little, I feel like when you're a band and you're a guy stepping into the lead singer's shoes of a band. Yes. Who is not known for like cursing and saying the F word 80 times during a show.

That maybe you shouldn't be the guy who's like, hey, fucking what's up, you fucking motherfuckers. Wait, wait. J.D. Fortune did that? Yeah. And it was a little weird at an In Excess show? Constantly cursing out. It was distracting. Well, they fired him eventually for erratic and druggy behavior.

And you know who they tried to get in the band was Terrence Trent Darby. As the lead singer of In Excess? Yes, he signed his name on the dotted line. What do you think he would be doing in it, Adam? Of course he's the lead singer. That's a good poll, by the way. I'm sorry. Thank you.

His voice just would not go with Inexcess. No. I don't know. But they did get someone else, and they tried to tour once again. Who's the Australian? They tried to get a famous Australian to sing. Paul Hogan. Oh, that was it.

Thank you. Yeah, that's it. I'm going to look up Inexcess, and I'm going to come. No, you're a thank you. Yeah, that's it. I'm going to look up NXS and I'm going to cum. No, you're not going to find anything. Except for pictures of Michael Hutchence. Off-track fucking by Swamp Venus is the first thing that comes up. But Rockstar NXS was such a great show. And then how was Rockstar Supernova just as bad?

Yeah. By the way, on the first episode of season two of Comedy Bang Bang, guess who I get to kiss? Can I take a guess? Sure. Kylie Minogue. That girl from Rockstar. D'Elana. Is that true?

Yes. We, I think that was her name. She was like the rocker chick. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She, we, I saw several people

on an audition and it's just for like one little kind of thing. She came in, had to make out with me and um i saw that delana was on it wasn't like oh i'd like to kiss her it was just like oh someone from that show i liked yeah just put her in it yeah i don't remember which one she was she was a if you saw obviously if you saw the photograph you'd remember her uh not the one that sang man

who sold the world maybe maybe i don't know i think i still have that on my ipod that version by the way the lead vocals sieran gribben is the person who did lead vocals on in excess from 2011 to 2012 all right well who's before that though john somebody you got john stevens that's it from 2000 to 2003 this is before i don't know who John Stevens is. He's an Australian guy. Okay. He's a New Zealand born singer of Maori descent. Very popular.

Terrence Trent Darby, lead vocals, 1999. That's her. Is that her? What are you guys doing? Oh, yeah, yeah. That was her. She was cool.

I feel very uncomfortable kissing anyone. Now that you're married? Well, just in general. Looking at us, like, stay away from me. Well, but, no, well, Adam, how do you feel like you have to kiss Amy on the show? now that you're married? Why are you looking at us like, stay away from me?

Adam, how do you feel? You have to kiss Amy on the show. Is it weird because she's a pal and you're not married to her? No, I mean, I don't think we even think about it anymore. It's just kind of weird. It's acting, isn't it, Adam? Yeah, acting. Acting.

Isn't that the SNL bit? They both look at each other and go, acting. Isn't acting reacting, though? It really is. It really is. It really is. But the few times I've had to kiss Natasha Leggero and Delana, and both times I just feel uncomfortable doing it.

Because I feel weird doing it. Aw, Scotty. You okay? Maybe you don't write that into the script then. How about that? You control those scripts. Maybe you shake hands with those ladies. Hello, ladies.

Earwolf Radio.com Earwolf Radio.com Earwolf Radio. Worth dead. Hey, Queeros. It's me, Cami Esposito, and I'm here to tell you about my podcast, Queery. You can sit in on hour-long conversations between me, Cameron Esposito, and some of the brightest luminaries in the LGBTQ family. Queery explores individual stories of identity, personality, and the shifting cultural matrix around gender, sexuality, and civil rights. Plus, it is fun. We have had some incredible guests. Emmy winner Lena Waithe? Yes, definitely. Congressman Mark Takano? You bet. L Word creator Eileen Shakin? Yes.

President and CEO of GLAAD, Sarah Kate Ellis? We definitely have. We've got celebs. People like Trixie Mattel, Evan Rachel Wood, Tegan and Sarah, the band, and the people separately on two different episodes. We also have activists and change makers in our community. I think it's a one of a kind show full of chats you have never heard before. It's identity, it's community, it's query. You can find query every Monday on Stitcher, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
