But shout out to my supervisor, ashton Yep, I'm sure he's out there watching.
Speaker 1:So if you are Ashton, there you go Shout out to you All right. So what's been going on the last? Well, let's just recap the last couple of shows, because I was just so excited about the last couple of episodes that we had. As you know, we didn't do Friday Night Live last week, and there's a very good reason why, and we'll get into that. So I'll start with last Saturday.
Speaker 1:I had Pepper Ann on the show and she's a true crime author. She has a book out, as a matter of fact. Let's see, there it is. I still have the book here on the table. Yep, it is the Notorious Texas Swindler, the Mastermind Behind the Grayson County Five.
Speaker 1:She was great, yeah, she was great. Yeah, she was great just the sweetheart of a woman, um, and had a lot of fun with her and we talked about. You know we obviously you know we're pitching the book and go out there and buy it. It's wherever books are available Amazon bookstores. It's available on her website. I think her website is pepperannauthorcom. I think so. But she was just great. We had a lot of fun. Of course, we talked about the book, pitched the book, we got into, of course, what the book is about. But I want you to go out and buy the book and read it for yourself. Oh, it's also available on ebook as well, or whatever you call it. So, yeah, she was just great. We talked about a lot of different stuff and getting text messages here, Uh, but she, um, yeah, we, we.
Speaker 1:I mean I didn't want, like I said, I didn't want her to give away too much of the book, cause I want you all to go out there and buy it and read it for yourself. But we talked about her, who she is, we talked about her family a little bit, but she rightfully so. Let me say this, because there's something that she really didn't say on the show, but we talked about it when we were off air and, no, I'm sorry, we actually talked about it in one of our phone calls. Oh, got a phone call. Time out, time out. Yes, hello, oh, wait, hang on, hang on, hold on, wait, there we go, all right.
Speaker 2:Are you ready for Stump the Chump?
Speaker 1:This is my brother, jim. Yeah, in case you couldn't recognize the voice. Yeah, sure, if you've got a Stump the Chump ready, let's hit it right away.
Speaker 2:I do.
Speaker 1:Okay, all right.
Speaker 2:What university shooting in 1970 prompted a 1970 protest song? So if you know the song, then you know the university, and that's what I'm asking.
Speaker 1:Okay, the university. Yeah, you want the university. Okay, well, let me, before I even give you the answer, matt, matt Davis and my audience, you guys remember Matt. He sent me a text and he wanted to know if he should call in, and he's more than welcome to call in, but he also just left a comment and he wanted to know if he should call in. He's more than welcome to call in, but he also just left a comment and he thinks I'm going to drink, but I'm not. And I'm going to tell you why. Because Neil Young wrote a song about that incident. I think it was released within days after the incident.
Speaker 2:No, it was 1971.
Speaker 1:The song was Now hold on, hold on, hold on. You don't need to give me any more information, okay, because the name of the university that you are speaking of is in Ohio and the name of the university is Kent University, kent State. You motherfucker, yeah, god damn it. So, yeah. So I mean, come on, man, you got to come stronger than that, okay.
Speaker 2:I thought this would trip you up and I freaking failed. Okay, all right, I don't have to drink. No, I don't have to drink. I don't would trip you up and I frickin' failed. Okay, alright.
Speaker 1:I don't have to drink. No, I don't have to drink, I don't have to drink. So there, alright, see ya.
Speaker 2:The name of the song, by the way.
Speaker 1:It's Four Dead in Ohio.
Speaker 2:Ohio and it was penned by Neil Young and he got it out there in 1971. So yeah, the Kent State Massacre is what it was referred to Four people. Students got gunned down by the.
Speaker 1:National Guard. Yes sir, okay, later, okay, alright, okay, later, okay, all right. Sorry, matt, not drinking, but yes, of course you're more than welcome to call in now. Where was I?
Speaker 2:Oh Pepper Ann.
Speaker 1:Yes, so we got to talking, of course. Yes, you see me nodding yes, if as long as we can understand, yes, no problem. Um, so we were talking. Uh, okay, we were talking about pepper and let me get back on track here. Remember, it's Friday night, we're live, okay, but we were talking.
Speaker 1:We had a couple of conversations before we recorded our conversation and you know there's been a lot of threats on her life and on her family during this whole process of writing her book, so we didn't get really detailed about her family. Obviously, we didn't give any names, because she's trying to protect her family, rightfully, so I mean, I would too. So, yeah, but we got into some of her likes and you know what she likes to do and stuff like that. Good stuff. It's just, she's just a sweet woman. It was a great conversation that we had. So if you haven't seen it, yeah, by all means, it's right there. It's right there with all the episodes. Check it out. It's good stuff.
Speaker 1:Oh, we got one in the comment. Oh, my gosh, you know what? Hi, catherine. Okay, all right, catherine left. She's got a question in the comments. She's asking me what was Freddie Mercury's real name? Now, obviously, if you're a big Queen fan. You know that Freddie Mercury was a stage name and I it's. Oh gosh, what is it? I got to turn this ringer off. Come on, how professional am I. I'm trying to remember. His first name is, I think, farad. Oh gosh, can't remember the last name.
Speaker 1:Gosh can't remember the last name, catherine, why would you do this? You're going to make me drink, aren't you Fraud something? Okay, well, somebody put it in the comments. Yeah, help me out here. So, yeah, wait, what was that? Let me look. Yeah, oh, I see it's Bolvara, something like that. Yeah, yeah, we'll see. Okay, I got the first name right. I just didn't get the last name. But okay, name right. I just didn't get the last name. But, okay, all right, in all fairness, if this was Jeopardy, I would be wrong. I would be wrong. I'd lose my 200 bucks or 400 bucks, whatever it was, so okay. So for you, catherine, you know, here's the thing.

Speaker 1:Well, I was, and you know my friend Matt. Yes, he was actually. He was on the show a few weeks ago and yeah, we were talking about you guys do your whole show off, but you have a lot of mics. No, I had bad luck with the microphones because I'm a moron, that's why.
Speaker 2:Let me tell you something there, bud. Yes, anybody with a nose like yours is not a moron. I do have quite the schnoz, don't I?
Speaker 1:Okay, all right, nice talking to you, tegar. All right, see ya there he goes. There he goes Tegar. Okay, we've got another comment. What he goes there he goes Tagar. Okay, well, I've got another comment. What? Oh yeah? Yeah, look, they're trying to get me drunk. What rock icon was the founder of the society for the preservation of cruelty to long haired men? What of cruelty to long-haired men? What? Okay, wait a second. Okay, what rock icon was the founder of the Society for the Preservation of Cruelty to Long-Haired Men.
Speaker 1:Okay, this sounds so much like this person. This is the first name and the only name that is coming to mind. So here we go. Joe Walsh All right, you know that's right and come on. All right, you know that's right and come on. All right, let's not try to get Ben loaded here. I mean, I'm not even through this. I'm trying to talk about what's going on here. So, um, um, drink. Why do I have to drink? Why do I have to drink what? David Bowie? Okay, all right, let me get a bean, let's get a bean. All right, come on.
Speaker 1:This isn't a drunk show. Do the? Let's see? Do the questions? Yes, yes, they have to be music related. That's what Stump the Chump is all about music questions, music related questions. All right, there's the shot. Hold on, let me put the lid back on this and I'll get to your second question. There's two. There's another question that Catherine left in here, but I'll get to it in a minute. Okay, come on now. So, there's the bean, there's the Malort, and you know, I got a show to get to here.
Speaker 1:Oh, it's beautiful stuff. What does that mean? Oh, beautiful stuff. What does that mean? Oh, I think it's spoiled milk. Oh, yeah, I think so. Okay, all right, okay, great. So, as I was saying in regards to Pepper Ann, there was something she didn't want to reveal during our conversation, simply because she's trying to protect her family and keep some sort of privacy, ok, but nonetheless, such a sweetheart of a woman, go buy her book. All right, that's the bottom line. Go buy her book. All right, that's the bottom line.
Speaker 1:And then the other episode, the one before that, that was Adam Holland, lead guitarist of the Steve and Jerry band. But you know so many other things that Adam has done in his career as well, and we went through the whole. We went through his entire career and it was awesome. It was such a great conversation. Sorry, I've got this bean in my mouth here, so it's getting stuck on my teeth and everything else, but what a great guy, oh my gosh, what a great guy Adam is. And, whether he knows it or not, yeah, he's like my new best friend. Yeah, we're like best friends. Now we text each other all kinds of stuff. We like pinky swore on it, yep. But it was such a good conversation with Adam and what I want to encourage everybody to do we talked about his new album, rapture.
Speaker 1:It's on all the streaming services. It's an all instrumental Eight songs, or eight tunes, 25 minutes in out, but it is dynamite. It is so, so, so good. And I'm not I'm really not one for full instrumental albums, I'm just not but his. I have been listening to it. I was listening to it before the interview and I've been listening to it since.
Speaker 1:Okay, well, I have a question coming in through the text. It's a music trivia question, so I'm going to get back to Adam in just a second Next, and it's from let me see who played the guitar solo on Michael Jackson's Beat it. Okay, don't waste my time. Okay, don't waste my time on that, because the better question is who played the rest of the guitars and bass on Beat it? Or here's another question. Or here's another question who was the band that pretty much played the entire Michael Jackson Thriller album? Okay, so I'm throwing that back to you. So I'm going to give you a few minutes and you can answer both of my questions and then I will answer yours. All right, so get to it.
Speaker 1:Let me finish up here with Adam. Really quick, check out the album. Oh, now I have the Malort burps. It is so good and he was such a great guy and if you listen to it, you know what happened. I you can see the shirt I'm wearing. The shirt I'm wearing is from a band, voyage. The reason why we had no Friday Night Live last week is because Catherine and I went out to see this band Voyage. Voyage, if you're unaware, is a Journey tribute band. Hold on, got a phone call. Let's get this going here.
Speaker 2:Yes, hey, how you doing there buddy. Oh my God.
Speaker 1:So I have a jump for you, okay, okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm a little queen, sorry. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Yeah, what year did the album Little Queen from Heart?
Speaker 1:what year did the album? What did you say? It was Little Queen. Little Queen from who? Oh, from Heart, little Queen from Heart. Oh my god, I heard you. I heard you don't get excited. Oh, from Heart, little Queen from Heart. Oh my God, I heard you I heard, you Don't get excited. I love it, I love it. Oh wow, little Queen from Heart.
Speaker 2:You're going to drink, get ready to get the pain. Hey, just Heart You're gonna drink.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we're gonna get the beans. Hey, just hold on, just hold on. Okay, I'm gonna. I really am, I really am taking a shot here. I'm gonna say 1978.
Speaker 2:Oh, you're only one year.
Speaker 1:What was the year? 77. 77. Come on, hey, I've got another show tomorrow. I've got a show in the morning. I can't Okay. Yeah, all right. Well, thank you.
Speaker 2:You're quite welcome.
Speaker 1:All right, see you later. Hey, you have a really good evening. Thank you, I love you. I love you too. We'll see you. Bye, oh gosh, what's fair is fair and, trust me, I haven't forgotten the whole Michael Jackson thing.
Speaker 1:All right, so here we go. Here we go Down the hatch. Nasty Malort, oh oh, another nasty bean, oh, oh. Oh. Yes, you're right, I do know this stuff. Hang on, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't want your answer here. Okay, hold on.
Speaker 1:Okay, jeff Piccaro is the drummer for Toto. Yes, all right, I'm just going to. Okay, that's my niece, anita, anita, we all know. Eddie Van Halen played the guitar solo on Beat it. Steve Lukather from Toto played the rest of the guitars and bass. Toto pretty much played on the entire Thriller album and Steve Piccaro, jeff's brother, wrote the song Human Nature. That's on Thriller. Okay, just a little stuff for you. Okay, just letting you know. So sorry, I'm not drinking Three shots down already. Wow, all right.
Speaker 1:Okay, so we were talking about Adam and we're talking about Voyage, the Journey tribute band that we went to go see, and I'm telling you they were so good, oh, absolutely dynamite. And if you haven't, if you haven't heard of Voyage. Look them up. They're all over YouTube. They have videos all over YouTube. The lead singer, hugo Valenti, who, let's bring it back to Adam Adam and Hugo were in a band in the 80s called Valentine. They were also in a band in the early 90s called Open Skies. They were also in a band in the early 90s called Open Skies. So that's where they start Now. Hugo is like a dead ringer for Steve Perry, not just vocally, but visually. When you see him come out on the stage, you just have to kind of's like. You kind of have to like rub your eyes. You know it's like am I seeing this right? But they were dynamite. They were so, so, so good and they played a great set.
Speaker 1:Now let me also say this that Voyage is, yes, they are a Journey tribute band and they're wonderful. They have also released original music too. They released I believe it was last year, late last year in 2023. They released an album. It's called Inception and it's really good and it sounds. If you love the Raised On Radio album from Journey, you'll like Inception. You'll like it because it's right in line with that, even leaning into maybe a little bit of Steve Perry's not the Street Talk solo album, but more For the Love of Strange Medicine solo album, kind of a cross between Raised on Radio and For the Love of Strange Medicine, just really, really good stuff.
Speaker 1:But getting back to Adam, while we're doing the show and I mentioned to him that I'm going, that Catherine and I are going to go to the show the following night right there he says, oh, okay, well, I know Robbie Hoffman, the lead guitarist in the band, and he sends him a text right during our conversation. He says I'm going to get you passes to go backstage. And I was just like, okay, appreciate that, that was you know okay. And sure enough, our passes were waiting for us at Will Call when we got there and we went backstage.
Speaker 1:After the show, met Hugo, met Robbie just very, very nice guys, very nice guys, and they were so busy because they had to pack up all their stuff and get out of there and catch a plane. And I think Robbie said they were going to Albuquerque. I believe so, yeah, but they still took a few minutes. And I think Robbie said they were going to Albuquerque, I believe so, yeah, but they still took a few minutes with Catherine and I and were real appreciative of the fact that we came out to see them. Great guys, great band. Check them out Voyage. And if you're going to search them on the streaming services, I believe you're going to have to look under Hugo's Voyage, because I think there's some other stuff, voyage, and it'll probably be too difficult to find. So, all right, listen Now. Hold on a second, hold on, hold on Before we move on.
Speaker 1:I got to get back to the comments really quick. Let's see what was this. Okay, I got that one. Had to drink on that one. Okay, keith Moon and John Entwistle of the who are said to have I'm squinting because I'm trying to read the comments on the computer screen Said to have inspired the name of which other classic rock band? Wow, we're going deep on this stuff, aren't we? We're going deep. This is great. Though this is great, I don't know. I don't know if I've ever heard this one. See, the long haired one. I think I had heard that one before, but it just sounded so, joe Walsh, that's why I had said that Wow, let me think, let me think, let me think. Yeah, I have to keep saying that, because there's nothing worse than dead air. See, for you people that are watching, it's not so bad, but when you go and listen to the audio version of this and you hear absolutely nothing for like two, three seconds, forget about it.
Speaker 1:So, oh, all right, I'm just going to classic classic rock band. I'm going to throw it out there. I'm going to throw it out there. They're all right around the same time. They all came from the same area. I'm going to throw it out there. I'm going to throw it out there. They're all right around the same time. They all came from the same area. I'm going to throw it out there and say the Rolling Stones.
Speaker 1:Okay, oh okay, I'm getting hit in the comments. I'm getting hit on text messages. This is crazy. You should be calling in. That's what you should be doing. Let me see something here. Okay, okay, which LA club were the doors playing when they were discovered playing when they were discovered?
Speaker 1:I am going to say, well, hang on. Okay, I'm three shots down already. Three shots down, let me. I got to mark this. Three shots down. Okay, catherine, hit me with one here. That's okay. I got to put a limit. I got to put a cap on the number of rock questions or music questions that you hit me with in a particular show, because otherwise I'm not going to finish and I'm going to be on the floor. This is ridiculous, jeez, okay. So hey, debbie's in the chat. Oh, son of a gun. Son of a gun that was.
Speaker 1:My second guess was Led Zeppelin, because I think Led I'm trying to remember what, something about Led Zeppelin's name or something. And somebody told him that it was good that they were going to go down like a lead balloon. And I am playing the game. I told you I'm getting hit everywhere. Uh, okay, so you know? Um God, so that's when they came up with Led Zeppelin. I didn't remember John Entwistle and Keith Moon doing that or inspiring that, but obviously they were the ones that gave them the idea. All right, I'm going to think about yours, danny. There's the bean, here's the Malort, and you know, this bottle is almost empty.
Speaker 2:So yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1:You know, I think I do have another. I don't know if I have another bottle, not sure. All right, so down the hatch, here we go. Oh gosh, that's terrible.
Speaker 2:Oh.
Speaker 1:Oh gosh, you know, oh, but the bean was good. Oh, the bean's good. Awesome, I see your question right there, deb. Hold on, okay, hold on. I've been playing the game All right, at which LA club were the Doors playing when they were discovered.
Speaker 1:Because they're an LA band. Well, it's LA club, but they were an LA band. Well, it's LA club, but they were an LA band. I, I, oh, I think I'm going to say the Troubadour. Okay, going to say the Troubadour, yeah, okay, I'm getting. I, I can't believe you people, all right, so I'm gonna say the troubadour and, um, I guess I'll wait for the answer. But what is the stage name for the artist whose real name is peter gene hernandez? Okay, I don't even know who that guy is. I've never even heard that name. Okay, who? Okay, I'm getting.
Speaker 1:Okay, hang on, I got Danny's question here, I got Debbie's question there and I got one from Catherine below that. So I'm gonna get to Catherine's, because I'm gonna smoke you on this one. Oh, the Viper Room, the Viper Room. Okay, I've taken four. Okay, I got. I owe one. Okay, so to answer. Answer your question, catherine and Catherine's quick.
Speaker 1:Can I get into this show here before Phil Collins, who was the lead singer of Genesis? Yeah, that is an easy one. That was Peter Gabriel. Okay, don't waste my time. Okay, now, debbie, you said who shot the sheriff? Okay, well, bob Marley wrote the song and he was the original. He was the original writer and original performer of the song. Oh gosh, okay, stand by, stand by. And then Eric Clapton he covered the song. So it's going to be Bob Marley or Eric Clapton, okay, so let me see. Wait, wait, wait, uh, I don't know, I'm getting hammered here, not, I don't mean drunk hammered, I'm getting hammered with stuff.
Speaker 1:Your choices oh, a, the Viper room or the whiskey. A, go, go, oh, so you're giving me the two. Oh, you're giving me those two choices. Ooh, oh, so you're giving me the two. Oh, you're giving me those two choices. Ooh, I'm going to shoot this sheriff. Okay, I get you, because it says I shot the sheriff. Yes, I get you. Deb, aye, aye, aye, okay, all right. So look, all right. All right, technically, that's okay. That's two, that's two, two I owe. I'm not getting into them just yet. All right, so my choices are the Viper Room or the whiskey. Is that what it is? Clarify that one for me, danny, all right, listen, all right, listen. Time out on the music trivia. Okay, oh yeah, I got Jim on hold, yeah what's up, jim?
Speaker 2:Okay, are you all settled in?

Speaker 1:You think so?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think so. Alright, what was Ted Nugent's band just prior to the Amboy Dukes?
Speaker 1:Oh, you've got to be kidding me. Come on, probably played like friggin' high school gyms or something. Give me a break, alright, fine, I ain't even trying that one. What was it?
Speaker 2:The Lords. And he was actually in another one Prior to that, in 1960, when he was 14 years old, but they changed their name to the Lords.
Speaker 1:Okay, listen, I'm going, I have a lot of content To get through here. Okay, but they changed their name to the Lord, okay. Okay, listen, I'm going. I have a lot of content to get through here, okay, and I'm marking down the number of drinks I owe everybody. I owe three drinks. Get out of here. Goodbye, oh gosh, all right, so I owe Debbie one, I owe Jim one and I owed Catherine one for the, the lead zeppelin, I think that's what it was. I'm waiting to hear back from danny to clarify my choices. Um, okay, oh no, I wrote down. I owed one for danny, that's right. I already drank the one from Catherine. All right, listen Back to Adam Holland.
Speaker 1:So he sends a text, catherine, and I meet with Hugo and Robbie. Great, great, great, great, great guys, just great guys. And what was really cool is Adam texted me the following day, last Saturday. So how was the show? I just thought that was cool. So see, adam and I were like he's my new best friend now. Great, great guy, absolutely fabulous.
Speaker 1:The show is getting some pretty good response. If you haven't seen it, watch it. Okay, just watch it. Let me see what else we got going on here Good stuff. So we did that, okay. Oh, tomorrow. Tomorrow I have another author coming on. We're recording the show tomorrow morning. Her name is Rachel Thompson. She's an author, as I said, and I don't want to get too much into it. But man, man, oh man, I think tomorrow's going to be a bang up show. I think tomorrow is going to be a bang up conversation and I'm really, really looking forward to it because she's great. Okay, so Danny says Viper Room, lizard Lounge and Whiskey A Go-Go. Okay, I'm going to go. Whiskey A Go-Go, because the Lizard Lounge is just a made up name, because I think Jim Morrison's nickname was like the Lounge, lizard or something like that One of his nicknames.
Speaker 1:So you have to let me know if a whiskey, a go-go, is right Um. So yeah, rachel Thompson, tomorrow. It will post tomorrow afterwards, usually within an hour or so after I'm done recording. I'll get it out there. It'll be out here on YouTube, it'll be on all the um, all the podcast platforms. It'll it out there. It'll be out here on YouTube, it'll be on all the podcast platforms. It'll be out there. It's going to be good stuff. It really really is.
Speaker 1:Again, her and I we've talked a couple of times, and she's a big music lover too. So I think I'm looking forward to being able to get into some music conversation with her, conversation with her. So then, tomorrow I mean not tomorrow, but next week, oh, yes, yes, it was the whiskey, Ha ha, all right, thank you, danny. Next week is next Thursday is the 4th of July. So this is our, technically, this is certainly our last show. This is our last live show anyway, so last time we will actually get to talk to one another before the 4th of July. So I just want to kind of go over a couple of things regarding 4th of July. Let's not forget what it's all about. We celebrate our country's independence. We declared our independence on the 4th of July, so let's not forget that.
Speaker 1:But it's in summer, hot weather, people love to have barbecues, fourth of july. So so what are some of? I don't know what do you guys think? Some of the, the, the the top items are for, like, your fourth of july barbecue. What's this comment? What did stevie ray vaughn name his name? Wait, name his most his name. Wait, name his most beloved guitar. Come on, wait. Are you like googling like the most? Are you like googling this stuff? Is that what it is? Come on, come on. I don't know the names of people's guitars, except for bb king. His was lucille, that's all I really know, and I don't think there's a lot of artists that actually name their guitars.
Speaker 1:Um, so now some of the top items for your fourth of july barbecue. I know you guys are going to have one, so I'm going to give you 10, okay, and you're going to have one, so I'm going to give you 10. Okay, and you're going to let me know. You can leave it in the comments, you can call in whatever you want and let me know what you think of these items or if you think of something else. But these are like the you know top 10 items or um, and I shouldn't say top 10. They're like in no particular order. But number 10 is beer. You got to have beer, right, you got to have beer for your 4th of July barbecue. Number nine is soda. Got to have your sodas, or maybe, if you have a lot of kids, then you're gonna have probably Capri Suns or something along those lines. What was that? Jimbo, jimbo, okay, well, I marked it down here. Okay, all right, easy. Now, easy, killer, easy. And what about deviled eggs? Do you guys like deviled eggs for your 4th of July barbecue? What do you think of that? I mean, I love deviled eggs, I'll have them anytime.
Speaker 1:Pasta salad Not a mayonnaise-based pasta salad, something that's either with like an Italian dressing base or something with like a nice vinaigrette as your base in the pasta salad. Something that's going to be cool. Maybe you can mix your like cheese tortellini and throw some blueberries in there, some strawberries yeah, I think that would be a cool pasta salad. Of course, chips and dip right, got to have chips and dip, chips and dip, chips and salsa, all that good stuff. Summertime favorite fruit Watermelon.
Speaker 1:I'm getting to that. Good job, danny, good job. I mean, it's so obvious. Burgers, dogs obvious, it's easy and they're great. Come on, they're great. Burgers and dogs are so American. I said watermelon, I'm getting the business here. And then the last two things, the top two things on the list. You had it right there in the text, danny Potato salad, grilled corn.

Oh, oh, my, oh yeah, but well, I don't know if I put my chili. I don't know if I put my chili out for a barbecue, though I just got a text that said my chili, my chili is great, it's fabulous, it really is, it's awesome. You all out there need to have some of it. They're telling me nope, just have it. Just have it for 4th of July.
Speaker 1:Yep, but as I was saying, 4th of July, it's the. You know, we celebrate our country's declaration of independence. We declared our independence from the monarchy in England, broke free from that, broke free from that. And I love it because it's a very patriotic day, just like Memorial Day and Flag Day and Veterans Day. Great, great patriotic days. And I'm a patriot. I am just a patriot through and through.
Speaker 1:So I want to give you some ideas on. Where are they? Let me look it up here. I want to give you some ideas on, if you want to make yourself, because I did I made myself a playlist, I don't know, years ago, my library. I made myself a playlist for 4th of July or patriotic songs. I should just say it's not necessarily for the 4th of July. I think I put like 10 of them on here, but okay, I owe four shots. I owe four shots. So, yeah, no, you're right, debbie, you're right, debbie. Chili burgers. So, okay, so you can take the burgers and then put my chili on the burgers. There you go. All right, I owe four shots. This is one of four.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Hmm, ooh, it gets worse. It gets worse with every drink. Oh, it's worse, it gets worse with every drink. Oh, it's terrible. Oh, oh, my, oh, I think that was dog food. Oh, okay, let's go through this. Anybody, everybody out there, remembers Charlie Daniels. Everybody remembers the Charlie Daniels band. I think it was about 1981. Sorry, this bean is stuck in my teeth, but I think it was about 1981.
Speaker 1:Charlie Daniels had a song called In America. Now I'm not going to play it, I guess I am Wait, stop, stop, there we go. All right, here we go. That's what I want to do.
Speaker 1:What I thought was really cool about this song, you know it's so relatable to what has been going on in our country the last few years. I'm just going to read the first few lines of the song. This is 1981. All right, well, the eagle's been flying low. I'm sorry, let me start that again. Well, the Eagle's been flying slow and the flag's been flying low and a lot of people saying that America's fixing to fall. Well, speaking just for me and some people from Tennessee, we've got a thing or two to tell you all. This lady may have stumbled, but she ain't never fell. And if the Russians don't believe that they can all go straight to hell. I won't read the rest of it. It's not bad, I just won't go through the whole thing. That is so cool. That is just so cool. Right there In America, charlie Daniels Band Check that one out.
Speaker 1:You got to check that one out. What else? Coffee Anderson, another country artist. Coffee Anderson Wrote a song oh gosh, it's probably been about 10 years now, eight years ago.
Speaker 1:It's called Mr Red, white and Blue and it's about a soldier who went off to war. Mr Red, white and Blue, great, great, great lyrics, great lyrics. What else do I have on this list? Old School, let's see. Old School's Inn by Heath Sanders, another country artist, and most of you are like Heath who, heath who. Heath Sanders is just a good old boy, I think. He's from Arkansas, worked the oil fields, I mean just down to earth guy, and that's what he writes about. And Old School, still In is just a great song, great lyrics. And okay, you asked for it, you got it. I'm going to read some of those lyrics, because I'm old school myself and he's a young guy, let's see. Oh wait, we got something on the comments. Okay, well, all right, all right, deb, I see your comment there, born in the USA.
Speaker 1:Now, the sentiment, the title, is completely different than the lyrics of that song. It's not necessarily a patriotic song, it really isn't. You got to go back and listen to that one. Oh, chili dogs. Well, yeah, take my chili and put it on those hot dogs. What was that? I'm afraid. Wait, what is that? I'm afraid I'm trying to read the computers like across the room people. I'm sorry, okay, I'm afraid. I'm trying to read the computers like across the room people. I'm sorry. Okay, I'm afraid of Americans. Actually, I think it's just called Trying to remember that sign. I think it's just called Americans by David Bowie. Well, okay, you want me to. Okay, now back to the comments here. Now you want me to name three movies that David Bowie starred in. That's from Matt man. Everybody's like hitting me. Now, this doesn't. This isn't music trivia, so I'm not drinking on this one if I get it wrong, but I will say this. The first one is the man who Fell to Earth. That was like 76, I think it was. Then I remember Labyrinth. That was around 87.
Speaker 2:Ooh.
Speaker 1:Huh, I'm kind of stumped on the third one. You're going to have to help me out on that one, matt. Okay, all right, so let's see. Here I'm going to get back to my old school's in song lyrics. Okay, let me see. Oh, now I like these. I like kind of like this hook here.
Speaker 1:But time still crawls, the flag still flies, mama still cooks and God won't die. Dogs still hunt men, men, man up, a little bit of red just runs in your blood. Yes, yes, ma'am, handshake deals. Rock still rules, keeping it real three chords and the truth ain't going nowhere. Yeah, old school still in out here just doesn't get better than that's just so awesome by a young guy too Young guy, let's see. Okay, trust me, I'm marking these off as I go through them. All right, the Malort shots.
Speaker 1:What else do I have on my list here? My patriotic song list on my list here, my patriotic song list. It's called America, not America, but America, from Granger Smith, and I think Granger Smith another young guy, but this song is like eight years old Granger Smith, I think he retired from the music business too, but what a cool song. What a cool song. What's the? Oh? Here's the hook. We're back to back undefeated World War champs. So take a cup, raise it up for my uncle Sam. You know we sent a man to the moon and before we're done, yeah, we'll probably send a man to the sun.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I love it. Oh, so good, so good. You know, you got to just check these songs out. You got to check these songs out. Am I the only one from Aaron Lewis? Am I the only one so cool? Am I the only one willing to bleed, take a bullet for being free, screaming what the hell at my TV? For telling me, yeah, you're telling me that I'm the only one willing to fight for my love of the red, white and the blue burning on the ground, another statue coming down in a town near you watching the threads of glory come undone. Ah, so good, so good. I'm gonna give you these again, just a few, I'm not going through the whole thing.
Speaker 1:Courtesy of the Red, white and Blue by Toby Keith. Come on, of course. Come on, oh, yeah, oh, I love it. Now this is the nation that I love has fallen under attack. A mighty sucker punch came in, flying in from somewhere in the back Soon, as we could see clearly through our big black eye. Man. We lit up your world like the 4th of July.
Speaker 1:Toby Keith. Rest in peace too, man, what a patriot, what an American. And of course, of course, you can't have a patriotic song list or playlist Without doggone it, without. God bless the USA. From Lee Greenwood Yep, I'm proud to be an American when at least I know I'm free. From Lee Greenwood Yep, I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free. And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me, and I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today, because there ain't no doubt I love this land. God bless the USA. Yeah, oh yeah. Such good stuff.
Speaker 1:So listen for your 4th of July barbecue. Make yourself a playlist, make yourself a barbecue playlist. Whatever you want to call it Patriotic playlist, 4th of July playlist, but include these songs. Let me put these spectacles back on. Include these songs In America by the Charlie Daniels Band, mr Red, white and Blue. From Coffee Anderson Old School. Still In. By Heath Sanders. America by Granger Smith Am I the only one?

Speaker 1:Oh, you got to include those. You got to do it, people. Such good stuff, such such good stuff. Yeah, let me put that down. Yeah, so listen, like I said, this is our last Friday Night Live before the 4th of July. Well, of course, we'll have another show tomorrow, but that one's going to be recorded, so I won't really get to talk to you so much.
Speaker 1:What else? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, because we always got to go through some rock docs. Okay, all right, all right, I owe you three more. I owe you three more. Hang on, and I'm going to catch up on the comments in a second. I'm crossing these off. Oh, you're too okay, hold on.
Speaker 1:Oh, the Hunger. I think the Hunger isn't that about. No, wait a minute, matt, wait a minute. Was Bowie in the Hunger? I know he did a song for that soundtrack, or was that Cat People? I can't remember. It's a great song. I absolutely love it. It's putting out the fire with gasoline. I'm trying to remember that's like the hook with Gasoline. I'm trying to remember that's like the hook in the song. I don't remember. Yeah, I think you're right, though. Okay, islands in oh.
Speaker 1:Here's one from Catherine. Okay, okay, islands in the Stream, which that is a song. I absolutely adore that song. It's written by I mean, it's performed by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers. It was in 1983. It is such a sweet, sweet song, such a sweet sweet song and I don't know if I brought it to Catherine's attention or not, but it's a song I've always loved and it'd be a great song to perform in karaoke.
Speaker 1:But Catherine's asking me because she probably wants me to drink, but it's not happening this time. My love Islands in the Stream, she asks, was originally written for what artist? Well, wait a minute, I don't know exactly what your question is saying. I know who wrote the song. Barry Gibb wrote the song and I'm thinking that's what you're asking, because I don't know that it was written for. Okay, let's throw one of these beans in here. I don't know that it was written for a specific artist, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1:Debbie says Now, that's the name of david bowie's song. I, oh, no, that's the name of the. Oh, okay, okay, I have it. Okay, all right, thanks, deb, I appreciate it. Uh, let's see also. Oh, matt, matt's giving me some more Bowie movies. Also the Prestige, debbie. Oh, american Girl. Well, okay, all right, I'll take it. It says American in it. I'll take that one, deb, you want to put that one on your patriotic songs playlist? Go right ahead, because she was an American girl yes she was. Oh you an American girl? Yes, she was. Then Debbie finishes up by saying that was a great list. Well, thank you, debbie, I appreciate it. If you need those songs again actually, if you have Apple Music, debbie, I'll just send it to you. I'll just send you the whole list list. I'll share my playlist with you and then you'll have it All right.
Speaker 1:So now I know there's some rock docs coming up or I shouldn't say coming up, but there's some rock docs out there and I like the rock docs. But doggone it, with my work schedule and then trying to prep for the show man, I just don't have a lot of time to watch them. I started one last night. It was the Nickelback documentary, I think it's called Love to Hate them or something like that and I got like I don't know, 10, 15 minutes into it. It's really good, it's really good and it's on Netflix. By the way, the Nickelback documentary, it's on Netflix, I think.
Speaker 1:Like I said, I think it's called Love to Hate them and I don't understand that there is in the last I don't know, maybe 10 years, 15 years years, maybe something like that. There's just been this like faction of people that want to hate on nickelback and I don't understand why. Um, you got it, deb. I don't know why they're such. First of all, they're such a band and maybe it's because they rose to popularity so fast, really fast. They've sold millions upon millions of records, millions. I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1:I kind of equate them to Creed. Yeah, I kind of equate them to Creed because Creed got really big right out of the gate. First two albums, boom. I think you may have to check my math on this one because I don't go deep into Creed, but I believe the first two Creed albums might be Diamond albums. So check my math on that one. You guys can let me know in the comments, or let me know in the comments on the episode later on, whatever it is. But then all of a sudden there was a lot of hate for Creed, unjustly really. I know Scott Stapp, he said some things and he kind of misbehaved, a lot that kind of stuff. But getting back to Nickelback, getting back to nickelback, getting back to nickelback, yeah, okay they're just a great band, great hard drive and rock and roll.
Speaker 1:I've seen them a couple of times live, always always put on a good show, and so I don't understand what the what the hate would be about. But, um, I know, I know one time in uh, in an interview I heard with the with the band, this was probably, I don't know, seven, six, seven, eight years ago. All right, chad Kroger said that that Nickelback is like cilantro you either love them or you hate them, something like that. Yeah, so I can't wait to see the rest of the doc. I started watching it and it kind of got late. I had to go to bed. Everyone knows I get up early in the morning. I get up very, very early. I've been up since 1.30 this morning and I've got everyone out here. Whether it's I've been up since 1.30 this morning and I've got everyone out here whether it's in the whole Ben Maynard program world, I've got everyone out here trying to get me drunk tonight and, like I said, I have a show, I've got an interview tomorrow. So you know I can't be, you know, slow, so knock it off. But yeah, I look forward to seeing the rest of that Nickelback doc. And then there's a Beach Boy documentary. It's on Disney+. Look forward to seeing that.
Speaker 1:Trust me, I make a list of all this stuff. I have to catch up on Music, documentaries, whatever my books, books I have a laundry list of books, of course, two of them that I've received in the last two weeks, books here on the shelf that I have to catch up on. It's absolutely bananas. I had an author, a woman, today, reach out to me. She says hey, I've been traveling last few months. Let's hook up, let's figure out our schedules and get on the show. If you still want me on the show. She's an author and a motivational speaker. So yeah, of course I want to have her on, I want her to tell her story. So there's another book. There's another one I have to read. I have the book already. She sent it to me, I don't know, probably three months ago, but I have to read it. She's like when do I have time to do this? It's like holy Toledo. So Beach Boys documentary on Disney Plus, and I love the Beach Boys, love the Beach Boys. So I'm looking forward to that.
Speaker 1:One Can't wait to see that one. There's a Brett okay, there's two documentaries Okay. There's a Brett Michaels documentary. It's on A&E I'm not sure what the title is. If you have cable, obviously you're going to have A&E. If you have streaming service or something along those lines, you'll probably have to check maybe Hulu or Philo or somebody like that to see if you've got A&E and check it out. But there's a Brett Michaels documentary. It's supposed to be really, really good and I love Brett. I love Brett Michaels. He's just. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1:I'll share this with you really quick and I know we're running over time. First off, I had way too much show or way too much content for tonight, and then all you crazies out there getting me to drink and getting me sidetracked and all that kind of stuff taking up all my time here. So I met Brett Michaels back in like 2007. I'm on vacation in Cancun and this was during the time he was. He had that show on. I don't remember if it was VH1 or VH1 Classic, I think it was VH1. What was it? Rock of Love, where he was looking for love, and it was a dating show. Okay, well, they were actually filming the show. We were staying at the same hotel in Cancun and they were filming the show. I think it was the might've been the season finale or something along those lines. They, the crew, would set things up and then tape it off and rope it off whatever during the day, but they were filming this stuff at god-awful hours when, when most everybody is asleep. So it's bananas, bananas.
Speaker 1:But I met brett while I was there at the hotel. I ran into him at the at the gym. Uh, ran into him while he was going out to. He was uh, uh, got on a, uh, on a, a, uh, not a, not a jet ski, but like a sea dew, and uh was cruising around the, the near the beach there, ran into him. Then it was always always very talkative, always very personable. And then, uh, I remember it was I think it was my last day, I think checking out of the hotel and he was checking out also the crew, the crew for the for the show Rock of Love. They were checking out also, and, and so just talking to him in the lobby of the hotel, just hotel, just very, very nice guy, very nice guy. So yeah, yeah, I actually want to see this documentary. I think it does touch on that whole rock of love time in his life. So I look forward and then let me see right now. I think that's it for documentaries, but this is.
Speaker 1:This happened, I think, a week and a half ago, but maybe it was last week, yeah, about a week and a half ago, but we, we weren't on, not live anyway, we're not. We weren't on last Friday, so I wanted to bring this up. How about queen selling their catalog? So I wanted to bring this up. How about Queen selling their catalog? Everything, hold on ugh. Like I said, they get worse every time. Oh, with every one they get worse ugh, ugh.
Speaker 2:They get worse every time, oh, with every one, they get worse.
Speaker 1:Ugh Ugh, I think I put a spicy bean in there. I owe one more. There's the bean. How about Queens selling their catalog, everything? 1.2 billion, bill, billion with a B dollars? Is that crazy? Hold on, something, I hit my mouse here. Hold on, let me close this. Something popped up on the screen Cancel. There we go. Okay, good, and I can see myself again. I worry when I can't see myself Queens selling their catalog $1.2 billion.
Speaker 1:That makes, I think, at the time, bruce Springsteen, who sold his rights and likeness or whatever his catalog he sold all his publishing for I think it was half a billion dollars, maybe two years ago dwarfs that deal, dwarfs Bruce Springsteen's. And you know the thing about Queen is, they're huge in America. Okay, they're big in America, let me, let me, let me take that back. They're big in America, let me take that back. They're big in America. They're enormous around the world, and I mean enormous, even to this day, being fronted by Adam Lambert. They're enormous. They play stadiums around the world, enormous. They play stadiums around the world, arenas here in America, stadiums around the world. They are bigger now in the last probably since the Bohemian Rhapsody movie. They're bigger now than they were back in the 80s Because in the 80s they took a downturn. You know, I mean after it probably started with the album the Game. Another One Bites the Dust, which was the big hit. Crazy Little Thing Called Love, which were both crazy big songs. Crazy Little Thing Called Love, which were both crazy big songs. Crazy Little Thing Called Love, let me get it straight, went number one but it drew in a different audience and so, like those diehard Queen fans were like, eh, you know, you guys have kind of gone a little disco here with Another One Bites the Dust and a little bit light with Crazy Little Thing Called Love. But those are just the hits off the album.
Speaker 1:Listen to the rest of the album, I think I mean the game, the title track. It's a good song. It's a slow tempo song but it's a good one and it's really in line with Queen. But what is it? Dragon Attack, killer, killer, killer.
Speaker 1:And then, of course, coming off of that album, they had, um, what was it called Darn? What was the album called Magic? I think it was like an 82. That was the one that had, under Pressure, another huge song, but catering to a different audience. The diehard rock and rollers were already withdrawing from the band and, like that tour, even though that was a huge song, the tour for that album didn't do that well. And then the next album I'm trying to remember the name and I'm almost drunk here, sorry about this, folks, I'm almost drunk with all these Malort shots which was in 84, 85. That was the one with Radio Gaga A fairly.
Speaker 1:It wasn't a big radio hit, it was a big mtv hit with the video and, of course, when they played it live aid, they stole the show and and then played that song and, just you know, killed it. Uh, but still in america Queen took a downturn, but worldwide they're just absolutely enormous and of course, like I said, they still are. So to sell their entire catalog for $1.2 billion, are you kidding me? Oh my gosh. And John Deacon, who hasn't been in the band for probably 30 years I love it, never gave up his share of the band. Between Freddie Mercury's estate, brian May, roger Taylor and John Deacon what are these guys? Yeah, like $300 million each, $400 million each, are you kidding? I was just, oh my gosh. Bananas, absolutely bananas, but good for them. I mean, john Deacon wrote, like Queen's biggest hit, another One Bites the Dust. He wrote that and I think, I think and I don't know because I haven't looked it up and I don't own that particular album and haven't even gone deep enough into it but I think he might have written Under Pressure too, at least written the music or the baseline for it. But 1.2 billion, that's just insane.
Speaker 1:And here's the thing too they sold to Sony. And this is what's cool Is, yes, they sold the entire catalog, publishing likeness, all that stuff. Yes, they sold the entire catalog, publishing, likeness, all that stuff. However, they still keep all of their proceeds or their profit from touring. Sony gets none of that. They get none of the touring money. So that is something, man, I'll tell you and you know, excuse me, another Malort burp, who knows how much longer Queen is going to go on, but, my gosh, they still get to rake in all their money from touring and don't have to pay a dime to Sony on that. Absolutely bananas, insane. Good on Queen. Good on you guys from Queen. Good on Brian. Hey, I don't know who negotiated this deal, but whoever negotiated this deal, good on you. You guys did it right. You guys are bad ass. Yes, yes, you are. Okay.
Speaker 1:Let's go back to the comments really quick before we close it out. Why is Catherine leaving me a comment that says Marvin Gaye? I don't know why. I don't know what that refers to. I love Marvin Gaye. Marvin Gaye is great. I don't know which song I like better. What's going on? Sexual healing? You know, of course, those are big hits. He's got a much, much, much deeper catalog than that. But you know, I don't know why she had Marvin Gaye there, but she did so.
Speaker 1:Listen, oh no, I owe one more. I owe one more. One more, right here, I make good on my in. I counted them and here we go, hit my head on the backdrop, tossing this back. Oh wait, what's that bean? Oh, oh, I think that bean is nasty. Might be nastier than the Malord itself. Oh gosh, I don't know what it is, but it's terrible. And the thing is, it gets stuck in your teeth. That's horrible. So, yeah, that's okay.
Speaker 1:Look, I am done with my Malort. I hate to tell you people how many shots I have taken during this show and this show has gone. What an hour. I'm squinting because I have to look across the studio here at my computer and it does me no good to put on glasses. I think we've gone. An hour and 34 minutes. Oh, that's way too long. I think we've got an hour and 34 minutes. Oh, that's way too long. I've kept you folks here way, way, way too long.
