Speaker B:Freezing.
Speaker B:Freezing cold.
Speaker B:It's 12 degrees out.
Speaker B:I got no heat in my basement.
Speaker B:My shit's down here, so I'm suffering.
Speaker A:Well, I think I moved everything up here.
Speaker B:Holy.
Speaker B:A concrete slab basement.
Speaker B:My.
Speaker B:My feet are frozen.
Speaker B:Only for.
Speaker B:Only for our guest.
Speaker B:Any other guest, I probably would have canceled tonight.
Speaker A:Yeah, no, you can't cancel on this guy.
Speaker A:You know, I can't.
Speaker B:He's too pretty.
Speaker A:This guy does is like, you know, maybe this is why you like him so much.
Speaker A:All he does is avoid me.
Speaker A:You know, I.
Speaker A:I don't see.
Speaker A:I used to see him all the time at the radio station.
Speaker A:He stops coming.
Speaker A:I.
Speaker A:I hit him up to do stuff.
Speaker A:He can't do it.
Speaker A:You know, he doesn't come on the show anymore.
Speaker A:But somehow, somehow he must have got.
Speaker A:He must have taken my call or my.
Speaker A:My text here and thought it was somebody else.
Speaker A:And he's like, I can't get out of it.
Speaker A:Who else are we talking about?
Speaker A:Comic, actor, writer Mark Ricadana.
Speaker A:Welcome back to the show.
Speaker C:Hey.
Speaker C:I found when I can't do anything is when my career's booming.
Speaker B:And I find it very.
Speaker B:Me and Mark text all day long.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:I mean.
Speaker C:Or basically FaceTiming 23 hours of the day.
Speaker B:I mean, shot sleep.
Speaker A:I used to get a phone call from Mark.
Speaker A:No longer call him, you know.
Speaker A:Oh, man, I'd love to talk, man.
Speaker A:You know, I'll give you a call right back.
Speaker A:Oh, you know, I got caught up.
Speaker A:I get it, I get it.
Speaker A:Listen, we're not going to.
Speaker A:So we're not going to have to talk to you.
Speaker A:We're not going to interview you or anything.
Speaker A:All right?
Speaker A:But what we are going to do is like we did last week, we talked about rock and roll debates, and Sean and I stumbled upon, I think, an interesting debate here.
Speaker A:If I gave you a band, what would that band signature song be like?
Speaker A:What would be their identifiable song?
Speaker A:So closer, right?
Speaker A:Like, there is no way.
Speaker A:You can't do this in the encore.
Speaker A:This is the last song.
Speaker A:Once you do it, you're going, but.
Speaker A:And if you don't do it, you're like, what the hell?
Speaker A:You have to.
Speaker B:Or.
Speaker A:Or.
Speaker B:Or you could also mean, like, if you're going to, like, Africa and you're somewhere in Libya and they hear a Bon Jovi here living on a prayer, and they go, oh, Bon Jovi.
Speaker B:Like that recognizable.
Speaker A:It would have to be that recognizable.
Speaker A:So we got.
Speaker A:I Got a bunch of different bands here, which we'll.
Speaker A:We'll discuss.
Speaker A:I'll give you two.
Speaker A:And then if you think I blew it and it's not either one of those, then I would love to.
Speaker A:You guys have to think.
Speaker A:So we'll start with Mark, Donna, and we'll start.
Speaker C:I feel like, though, Jeff, you're like Mr.
Speaker C:Deep Cut, that you're gonna be like Bruce Springsteen, and you're not gonna pick one song that's on his essential or greatest hits album.
Speaker B:You're gonna pick, like, a deep hat.
Speaker B:It's gonna be like Striper.
Speaker B:It's gonna be like the most trash music, too.
Speaker B:Not high enough for this could continue.
Speaker C:It can't.
Speaker A:It can't be the deep cut because it has to be like.
Speaker A:Yeah, the most identified.
Speaker A:It'll be something like my wife who doesn't listen to anything, and only, like, Chicago.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:It would have to be something that she would even say, oh, I know.
Speaker A:I know who this is.
Speaker C:Oh, you mean Bon Jovi.
Speaker A:So let.
Speaker C:Let's start.
Speaker A:Let's start with a little band called the Rolling Stones.
Speaker A:You ever hear of him?
Speaker C:Oh, I.
Speaker C:I.
Speaker C:Thank you.
Speaker A:What is their signature song?
Speaker A:Is it Satisfaction, or is it Honky Tonk Woman?
Speaker C:Oh, see, I disagree.
Speaker C:I think it's.
Speaker C:It.
Speaker C:Start me up, man.
Speaker A:Start me up.
Speaker C:That's an opening riff ever as soon as you.
Speaker C:Everybody goes.
Speaker A:But they wouldn't.
Speaker A:But.
Speaker A:But they wouldn't know.
Speaker C:Who was it then?
Speaker C:Windows do the.
Speaker C:Or was it Windows or Apple used it as their commercial, like.
Speaker C:And that song's played.
Speaker C:Everybody knows, Dan.
Speaker C:And you don't even have to follow it up.
Speaker C:You just play that first part, and everybody knows it.
Speaker C:When you went to.
Speaker C:You went to play the song, you had to keep going.
Speaker A:See, I will, I will.
Speaker B:I will have.
Speaker A:He, like, he picked the opener, I picked the closer.
Speaker A:What do you say?
Speaker A:Let me phrase it in a way that you'll hate me.
Speaker A:What say you now?
Speaker A:Punch me in the face.
Speaker C:What say you?
Speaker C:He's Rock and Rolls Yoda, folks.
Speaker C:He's Rock and Roll Yoda.
Speaker B:Stick with the two that Jeff picked.
Speaker B:And I will go with Satisfaction because I understand what Mark is saying, because that riff is an amazing opening riff, but so is Satisfaction.
Speaker B:That's as recognizable to me.
Speaker B:And I will tell you a very quick story about my experience with Start Me Up.
Speaker B:I saw the stones at MetLife back when it was Giant Stadium and the Foo Fighters were opening up for them.
Speaker B:And it was the first time I ever smoked pot in my entire life.
Speaker B:And I Didn't know what to expect.
Speaker B:Right after.
Speaker B:Right after the Foo Fighters, my friend gave me some skunk weed, and I was like, okay.
Speaker B:And now I'm wrecked.
Speaker B:And I sit down and it's like 45 minutes later, and the lights go out and my head's down like this.
Speaker B:And I hear, star me up.
Speaker B:I hear, darn near.
Speaker B:I lifted my head up and I went, nope.
Speaker B:And put my head back down.
Speaker B:And I slept through the whole show.
Speaker A:Well, if you knew it, if you would have paid attention during that show, you would have noticed one of your friends on the stage sitting on the steps, and that would have been me.
Speaker A:I was on stage for that whole show.
Speaker A:I thought you said I was working.
Speaker A:I was working that tour and my spot on those New Jersey shows.
Speaker A:Okay, there were two staircases.
Speaker A:I sat on one staircase wearing a Rolling stone shirt.
Speaker A:My brother sat on the other one.
Speaker C:I love it.
Speaker B:That's not that bad.
Speaker A:Okay, let's go with another little known band, Pink Floyd.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:What is their signature song?
Speaker A:Is it another brick in the wall or wish you were here?
Speaker C:Oh, I want to say wish you were here, but I feel like brick in the wall is the one.
Speaker C:Everybody knows, like that that's the, you know, that's the A1 killer.
Speaker C:But wish you were here.
Speaker C:To me, it's like my.
Speaker C:One of my favorites.
Speaker C:Yeah, I.
Speaker C:I love that.
Speaker C:But brick in the wall, everybody knows that.
Speaker C:I mean, you can go up to a five year old and go, you can't have any pudding.
Speaker C:Just look at me.
Speaker A:What would you say to the 5 year old?
Speaker A:Come on, you cut out for a second.
Speaker A:So what'd you say?
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker B:I know, because he thinks this is our first podcast, Mark, and the first time we've ever hung out with his hacky ass.
Speaker B:Yeah, what is this zoom thing?
Speaker C:You're of.
Speaker B:The wall as well.
Speaker B:Even though wish you were here is also my personal favorite Pink Floyd song as well.
Speaker B:But I do think in the wall is there is like the.
Speaker B:The popular, recognizable one.
Speaker A:Now, is there another song that we could have thrown in there?
Speaker C:Money.
Speaker B:Money.
Speaker A:Is money bigger than wish you were.
Speaker C:Here, probably a bigger hit commercially.
Speaker C:But like, wish you were here is like when you listen to that song, you just go, wow, that's music.
Speaker A:There's no doubt it's an all time great song, but, oh, yeah, does it transcend just like something that not only Pink Floyd's fans would hear, but like anyone would hear, like another brick on the wall?
Speaker C:I actually.
Speaker C:One of my favorite pictures of my son, I took it and I actually put on a mug for my parents.
Speaker C:My son Duke, he had like, the legit headphones on.
Speaker C:And I played Wish youh Were Here and it was the first time he ever listened to music how it was supposed to be, not just like on a car stereo.
Speaker C:And his face was just like.
Speaker C:And it was like the best photo.
Speaker C:And I just put on a mug for my parents.
Speaker C:That's.
Speaker C:That song is so good.
Speaker A:Adam Holtz chimes in.
Speaker A:Comfortably Numb's a good one too.
Speaker A:That's a very good choice.
Speaker C:Oh, that is pretty good.
Speaker C:That is a good one.
Speaker B:I still stay with my.
Speaker A:I'm still good.
Speaker C:And then Jeff, you probably know this more than.
Speaker C:Than.
Speaker C:Than any of us, but like, hit wise, like, we're talking like Billboard, what was like Pink Floyd's big ones.
Speaker C:Because I like, I know Pink Floyd because of albums.
Speaker A:Learning.
Speaker A:Learning to Fly, you know, I think that's the biggest.
Speaker B:That's their biggest hit, I would think.
Speaker A:Chart was another brick in the wall.
Speaker A:Absolutely.
Speaker B:No, I mean, Learning to Fly.
Speaker A:Learn to Fly was.
Speaker A:Was huge.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:That was in like the late 80s, right?
Speaker A:That was 90s 90.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Around there.
Speaker A:That was 90s.
Speaker C:Wow.
Speaker C:It's another brick in the wall too, right?
Speaker A:Yeah, that's what.
Speaker A:That's what I'm saying.
Speaker A:Not even close.
Speaker A:All right, all right.
Speaker A:So I'm glad you.
Speaker A:I'm glad you asked that question Mark, because it brings me to this song, which is not the better song, but which was probably a higher charting song, which, you know, again, identifiable one.
Speaker A:I.
Speaker A:I think it's okay.
Speaker A:Queen, would you go Bohemian Rhapsody or another one?
Speaker C:I mean, I know those two pick.
Speaker B:You know what I mean?
Speaker B:It is legit the greatest song ever written.
Speaker A:How do you put it up against any shining song?
Speaker C:Another One Bites the Dust and We Are the Champions are so well known because of sporting events.
Speaker C:Exactly.
Speaker C:They're like people that don't even like music know those songs.
Speaker C:Exactly.
Speaker A:That's my point.
Speaker C:It's.
Speaker C:It's insane how much people know those two songs.
Speaker C:But Bohemian Rhapsody is like, legitimately a piece of art that it would be in the Louvre if there was a music lo.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker C:Well, the Rock and Roll hall of Fame, same architect.
Speaker B:I don't know.
Speaker B:I still got to stay with Bohemian Rhapsody on that, you know, And.
Speaker C:And I'll say it gained its popularity thanks to Wayne and Garth, of course.
Speaker B:Of course.
Speaker C:That made it, like, more commercially known, I think.
Speaker B:It was always a great song and an amazing song.
Speaker B:It was kind of like with the.
Speaker B:With the Sopranos, with Don't stop believing.
Speaker B:Like, everybody knew the song.
Speaker B:And then once that.
Speaker B:That dumb, stupid end scene came about, you.
Speaker B:That you can't.
Speaker C:When you were eating.
Speaker C:When you were eating onion rings with Tony.
Speaker C:Yeah, you look just like him now.
Speaker C:You lost all that weight.
Speaker C:You look so much like aj.
Speaker A:Do you think.
Speaker A:Do you think it would have been different in Rocky 3?
Speaker A:The big song was Eye of the Tiger.
Speaker A:Right, Right.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:But originally what happened was Stallone had asked Queen for the fight montage scene, the training montage scene.
Speaker A:You know, the other way, fighting everybody, knocking everybody out.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:He asked Queen for permission to use another One Bites the Dust, and Queen refused to let them do.
Speaker A:Would have worked perfectly.
Speaker A:It really would have to.
Speaker C:On the nose.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:I think, you know, that may have been, like, made it as iconic as Bohemian Rhapsody, but still a pretty big song.
Speaker A:Another One Bites the Dust.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Oh, that's a tough one.
Speaker C:I'm going to say.
Speaker C:I'm going to.
Speaker C:Me personally thinks it's bohemian Rap City, because it's just.
Speaker C:I think it's that song in the.
Speaker C:In the Jungle, you know, that song, like, is perfect music.
Speaker C:It's aesthetically perfect songs.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker C:Like, it's a.
Speaker C:Asymmetric is the right word I'm looking for.
Speaker C:It's like the sound of those two songs are completely asymmetric.
Speaker C:They're like perfect songs.
Speaker B:Yep.
Speaker A:Okay, you too.
Speaker A:Okay, you too.
Speaker A:Is it in the name of Love or with or without you on the power button?
Speaker B:Yes, exactly.
Speaker B:Exactly.
Speaker B:Neither.
Speaker B:Oh, go ahead, Mark.
Speaker B:You're going first.
Speaker B:That's right.
Speaker A:I'm sorry.
Speaker C:Wait, what is it?
Speaker C:With or without you or what was the other one?
Speaker A:Or in the name of love.
Speaker C:What's that?
Speaker A:In the name of love.
Speaker C:Yeah, give us a.
Speaker C:Give us a couple notes there, Jeff.
Speaker A:In the name of love.
Speaker C:I want to say in the name of Love, because it was like, wow, I feel like that was.
Speaker C:Wasn't that in a movie?
Speaker C:That was like a really big IRA movie or something about the ira.
Speaker B:No, no.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Yeah, I think it was.
Speaker C:I feel like it's cinematic.
Speaker C:It's a cinematic song.
Speaker A:Well, it's a song about the.
Speaker A:Yep.
Speaker A:Very appropriately about the killing of Martin Luther King Jr.
Speaker A:Which was just yesterday.
Speaker B:Oh, I'm not going to either one of them, actually.
Speaker B:I think there's, like, five other songs you could pick besides those two, but we say I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
Speaker A:Oh, that's a good one.
Speaker A:What about one?
Speaker B:That was my next pick.
Speaker B:One is probably their most popular.
Speaker B:I think it's their most recognizable song?
Speaker B:Yeah, I think so.
Speaker B:That was a monster.
Speaker B:That was an absolute monster hit for them.
Speaker A:And it's a great, great song.
Speaker A:Wow.
Speaker A:I'm trying.
Speaker A:I.
Speaker A:I'm.
Speaker A:Hell no.
Speaker A:In the Name of Love is pretty big, too.
Speaker A:How about I Will Follow?
Speaker B:That doesn't even go in their top 25.
Speaker A:Everybody knows that one now.
Speaker B:It's their first song.
Speaker B:That's why.
Speaker A:Yeah, I'm gonna go.
Speaker A:I think.
Speaker A:But I mean, one.
Speaker A:One is.
Speaker A:Did they.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:With or without you, I can't hear another.
Speaker C:Do you remember the Ben Stiller show?
Speaker A:Yes, of course.
Speaker B:Oh, yeah.
Speaker C:Sketch about.
Speaker C:About.
Speaker C:The guy who would manage the Partridge Family was Bono's first manager.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Ruben Kincaid.
Speaker C:He's like.
Speaker C:Bono kept talking about the message, and I'm like, listen, here's the message, Bono.
Speaker C:If Steve Lebowitz doesn't have a good bar Mitzvah, you don't get paid.
Speaker C:And then they do one, but they make it about Lucky Charms.
Speaker C:It's so goddamn funny.
Speaker A:He did like, a.
Speaker A:A Springsteen thing where there was only, like, the countdowns.
Speaker A:It wasn't the song.
Speaker A:Like, so, like, I was sitting in this phone booth and had to put my hair in my jacket.
Speaker A:1, 2, 3, 4.
Speaker A:And that's all it was.
Speaker A:There was no songs.
Speaker A:That's the whole Al.
Speaker C:And then they had the.
Speaker C:They had the Bruce Stringstead one where there was just tales of Springsteen.
Speaker C:And every story was about how, like, Springsteen showed up three hours early and set the hall up for everyone.
Speaker C:And then afterwards, he mopped the floor and helped the drunk guy get home.
Speaker A:That was a great show.
Speaker C:And then at the very end, aliens show up and Bruce Springsteen goes over and talks him out of not killing everybody.
Speaker C:It's the stupidest sketch.
Speaker C:But it's so funny, though.
Speaker A:Anything he did anything with.
Speaker A:Remember later on, he does a thing with Tom Cruise.
Speaker A:He's Tom Cruise's body double, and they.
Speaker C:Do a Broadway show.
Speaker A:Speaking of perfect, how about these songs?
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:We, the Eagles.
Speaker C:John, we.
Speaker C:We avoided you, too.
Speaker A:For the Eagles.
Speaker A:Is it Hotel California or Take It Easy?
Speaker C:Oh, shit.
Speaker C:When you said Hotel California, I was like, definitely.
Speaker C:And then you said, take it easy.
Speaker C:Oh, that's a tough one.
Speaker C:Because everybody knows that.
Speaker C:That everybody knows Take It Easy.
Speaker C:The Hotel California was like their.
Speaker C:That was probably the big hit, right?
Speaker A:I think it's their biggest.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:I hate to say it, but I think musically, Take It Easy is better.
Speaker C:But if you're going to go signature song.
Speaker C:Everybody knows Hotel California.
Speaker C:I mean, they open restaurants all over the country, hotels called Hotel California, you know, And I feel like it's.
Speaker A:Yeah, it's like they're almost like two different songs from two different bands.
Speaker A:And it really is.
Speaker A:Because I think at that point, the guy Layton, who had that.
Speaker A:Who was with them with Frian Henley in Linda Ronstadt's band, he.
Speaker A:He's still in the band.
Speaker A:That's.
Speaker A:That's like that first big hit and he leaves.
Speaker A:And they bring in at this point now Don Felder, who.
Speaker A:Who wrote, you know, most of the music on the album.
Speaker A:And, you know, him and Walsh do that great.
Speaker A:The console together.
Speaker A:And I think this is the last album with Randy Meisner, and they bring in Timothy's Beach Smith for the long run.
Speaker A:So it.
Speaker A:I don't know, man.
Speaker A:I guess the Hotel California, but Take It Easy is just right on its heels.
Speaker A:What say you, Sean?
Speaker B:I prefer Take It Easy, but I am going with Hotel California.
Speaker B:Yeah, I.
Speaker B:Again, Mark, I agree with that.
Speaker B:I think musically it's just a better song.
Speaker B:It's a little more upbeat.
Speaker B:It's not about Dropping Dead a Heroin, you know what I mean?
Speaker B:It's just, you know, kind of chill and let's just have some fun.
Speaker B:Take it easy.
Speaker B:You know, let's not die in a.
Speaker C:Hotel somewhere, you know, which, ironically, the dude hates the Eagles, man.
Speaker C:And that should be his theme song.
Speaker C:Take it easy, Take it easy.
Speaker C:Take it easy, dude.
Speaker A:All right, before mentioned Bon Jovi, would you say the song is Living on a Prayer or you give love a bad name.
Speaker C:Living on a Prayer.
Speaker A:But remember, you give love a bad name has like that voice box thing that.
Speaker A:Yeah, that Peter Frampton thing, man.
Speaker A:And everybody likes that.
Speaker C:They do actually.
Speaker B:Living on a Prayer has that dopey.
Speaker C:What about.
Speaker C:What's.
Speaker C:Which one's the.
Speaker C:I'm a cowboy.
Speaker A:I hate that song.
Speaker B:You know what I hate?
Speaker C:Every time they do the one, it.
Speaker C:The entire audience just goes, wanted.
Speaker B:This is one thing I've started to hate in my adulthood now is the fact that when he.
Speaker B:Whenever I hear him say, I'm a cowboy, and then I realized that I live in the town that he grew up in.
Speaker A:Yeah, you're not a cowboy.
Speaker B:I'm like, you're.
Speaker B:You're the furthest thing from a cowboy, dude.
Speaker B:You grew up nine blocks away from me.
Speaker C:You bought your cowboy hat@buc EE's.
Speaker A:Yeah, Richie got his at Target.
Speaker C:In the girls section.
Speaker C:Yeah, because he has that little.
Speaker A:Yeah, he.
Speaker A:He.
Speaker A:He had it a little extra lower because.
Speaker A:Because he's an outlaw.
Speaker C:He's an outlaw and a steel Horse.
Speaker C:He rides.
Speaker A:Yeah, the steel horse is the motorcycle.
Speaker A:You know that, right?
Speaker C:I heard.
Speaker C:Yeah, I've heard.
Speaker B:Thanks, Jeff.
Speaker B:I.
Speaker B:Yeah, I didn't.
Speaker B:I didn't get that.
Speaker C:I thought it was the.
Speaker C:The little thing in front of the grocery store when you put the quarter in.
Speaker A:I thought, considering both of them was a Sibian machine.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B: Howard Stern,: Speaker B:That's great.
Speaker C:John is still over it.
Speaker C:Sean is so over.
Speaker C:He's like.
Speaker A:They used to play at a place in New Jersey called Club Benet.
Speaker B:The South End Boys down a block from me.
Speaker A:Yeah, Bon Jovi used to play there.
Speaker B:Yeah, they played down the block from where I live, by Starland.
Speaker B:They live.
Speaker B:They used to play at Hunka Bunkers in Sayreville too.
Speaker A:I.
Speaker A:I saw him there.
Speaker C:I actually like Bon Jovi a lot, you know, pissing on him a little, but it's just because he's good looking and I hate good looking people now.
Speaker A:He looks like a grandmother.
Speaker A:Stop it.
Speaker C:Wow.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker C:But so does everybody.
Speaker C:You know what I mean?
Speaker A:It's.
Speaker C:I.
Speaker C:Go ahead.
Speaker A:Did you ever see the video?
Speaker A:I'm sure maybe you.
Speaker A:I know you probably have.
Speaker A:There was like, you know, when, like everyone was putting together like these charity albums and songs, there was a video for something called Hearing Aid.
Speaker B:Oh, it's horrible.
Speaker C:Jesus Christ.
Speaker C:What's Hearing aid?
Speaker A:Anyway, you can find the hearing aid video and pull it up.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker C:Is it the hair metal?
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Endless guitar solos and.
Speaker A:And over the top singing.
Speaker A:But if you look at everyone's hair, they're starting to age and like, there's like light and the light is going through their hair into their scalp because their hair is like grandmother.
Speaker A:Yeah, they're all puffed out, but.
Speaker A:But when light goes through it, you can get like down into this.
Speaker A:Oh, it's.
Speaker A:It's so bad.
Speaker C:It's so hard to.
Speaker C:To the.
Speaker C:To age gracefully as, like a rock star.
Speaker C:It's.
Speaker C:If you actually live the lifestyle that they portray, it's next to impossible to age well, unless you're who, like.
Speaker C:I mean, Keith Richards obviously looks cooler now than he did in the 60s.
Speaker A:I think Duff from Guns N Roses aged great.
Speaker C:Tom Keefer looked.
Speaker C:He still looked cool.
Speaker A:He's cool.
Speaker C:He's just like a lot of these guys, you know, and then people make fun.
Speaker C:They're like, you know, Axl Rose looks like.
Speaker C:Looks like the Quaker Oats guy.
Speaker C:And it's like, well, yeah, because 30 years ago he was hot.
Speaker C:You know, the difference between my newborn baby picture and my 30 year old picture that big of a difference.
Speaker C:There's a big difference.
Speaker C:So like, allow people to age.
Speaker C:Oh, here we come.
Speaker A:Stars the record with stars hearing aid.
Speaker C:All right, if you.
Speaker C:All right, all right.
Speaker C:Wait, before we even hit play.
Speaker C:Jeffrey Paul, if you name.
Speaker C:Let's.
Speaker C:Sean, let's pick a number.
Speaker C:He has to name seven people.
Speaker B:He knows every person in this video.
Speaker B:He's a loser.
Speaker B:He's an 80s loser.
Speaker B:He's gonna.
Speaker B:He's gon.
Speaker B:And he's gonna say which.
Speaker B:Which album they played on the White Snake record.
Speaker B:Shut up and play.
Speaker A:The video just passed away.
Speaker B:I know.
Speaker B:He really was good, though.
Speaker C:Whose guitar is that, Jeff?
Speaker C:That's Dio.
Speaker C:But he's real close to the camera because he's so little.
Speaker A:And he's.
Speaker A:You see Kevin De Brow there?
Speaker A:And you had the guy from Final.
Speaker A:That John that got some Y and T.
Speaker C:Jim David.
Speaker A:We.

Speaker A:Eric Bloom from Blue Oyster Culture.
Speaker A:No, I think Wacky Lawless.
Speaker C:There's Jim David.
Speaker C:Not a great dental plan.
Speaker A:No.
Speaker C:In the heavy metal field.
Speaker C:Was that the actual guy from Dawkin or is that Spinal Tap?

Speaker A:That's Eddie Oja from Christ System.
Speaker C:That's Mitch, Fatal's boy.
Speaker A:Now.
Speaker A:Okay, so we are at about two, three minutes into the song.
Speaker A:For the next seven minutes, it's just a guitar solo.
Speaker C:That's that.
Speaker B:Mark.
Speaker B:I.
Speaker B:I think I was.
Speaker B:I think I cut you off.
Speaker B:And I think you were saying before is what were the over under was.
Speaker B:Apparently people Jeff can name.
Speaker B:We knew.
Speaker B:He knew the whole thing.
Speaker B:Here's the real question.
Speaker B:Looking at that video, how many of those outfits did Jeff own?
Speaker B:Oh, because you know that there was some sort of like rock club in Staten island that would.
Speaker B:He would saunter in with a linen suit hiked up like friggin Don Johnson all the way up to his elbows.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker A:It was the factory I went to.
Speaker A:I went to the Rock Palace.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Just how many seersucker sleeveless suits did you own?
Speaker A:What I used to do.
Speaker A:Sean, you're gonna hate this.
Speaker A:I used to be the guarantee it.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:I had like multiple colored bandanas and I would tie them like on my leg and I would tie them on my arms.
Speaker B:You should have tied it around your neck.
Speaker C:Was Bruce thinking, turning back.
Speaker A:Oh, I used.
Speaker A:I used to go out like that.
Speaker A:I would.
Speaker A:I would.
Speaker A:Sometimes I wear like you know, like, do you remember Jocko?
Speaker A:That guy.
Speaker A:You remember the Australian guy, Jocko?
Speaker C:No.
Speaker C:Look him up.
Speaker C:Now, this is.
Speaker A:This was my go to show.
Speaker A:He was the guy who go, oi.
Speaker A:In all the commercials, okay, I had a jocko shirt with the sleeves cut off, okay?
Speaker A:I'd wear Jocko Will Nick, like, platinum blonde hair, okay.
Speaker A:And I would wear this shirt, you know, or a skull shirt again, sleeves cut off, with the bandanas around my leg, a suit jacket on, you know, and like, you know, like, you know, light, very light blue dungarees.
Speaker B:I don't know how you actually worked because, like, you must have been batting the pussy away with that fucking outfit.
Speaker B:You know what I mean?
Speaker C:That was only to the black tie affairs.
Speaker B:That's a good question.
Speaker B:Did you ever have, like, the shirt, the tuxedo shirt, like, not a tuxedo shirt, like a T shirt that had the tuxedo print?
Speaker A:No, I never had that.
Speaker A:I never had that.
Speaker A:I wore.
Speaker A:I wore rock T shirts.
Speaker A:I wore my jocko shirt.
Speaker A:I would wear the skull shirt.
Speaker A:Just a skull.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:I would cut off the sleeves.
Speaker A:I wore a denim.
Speaker A:In the spring.
Speaker A:I wore a denim jacket with a cross on the back that said Black Sabbath.
Speaker A:No other band, just Black Sabbath.
Speaker A:But I would roll.
Speaker A:I always rolled the sleeves up.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:Now, there was a time and I had pictures.
Speaker A:I gotta find them.
Speaker A:Where I would wear headbands.
Speaker C:Please tell me you did it where you folded it so it was just real big.
Speaker A:No, it was.
Speaker A:It was.
Speaker A:It was like.
Speaker A:It was like.
Speaker C:And then do this with your hair.
Speaker B:It was more like.
Speaker B:It was more like Olivia Newton John in freaking Physical.
Speaker A:It really was.
Speaker A:It was.
Speaker A:It was one of those.
Speaker A:And then what I would do, I'd put my hair in front of it.
Speaker A:So you would just see the band.
Speaker A:My hair was like, in front of my shoulders.
Speaker C:So when you wore your hat backwards, did you flip out of the little.
Speaker A:No hat, no hat.
Speaker A:It was.
Speaker A:It was all.
Speaker A:It was all about the hair.
Speaker A:My hair was out there.
Speaker A:What.
Speaker C:What would Jeffrey Paul wear to a wedding?
Speaker C:You have a big important wedding to go to, and we're talking at your most hideous.
Speaker B:I see a bolo tie.
Speaker A:I did have a bolo tie.
Speaker A:I did go through.
Speaker A:That's what I.
Speaker A:I cut my hair.
Speaker C:With a turquoise stone.
Speaker A:I frosted the top.
Speaker A:Kind of like.
Speaker A:Kind of like the way George lynch had his hair frosted by.
Speaker A:Frosted it, like on the top.
Speaker A:So it wouldn't just be in the front, it'd be like through.
Speaker A:The sides were still regular Color, but the top was frosted blonde.
Speaker B:So I wanted to go on record and say that, you know, I think most people do know that.
Speaker B:You know, when me and you banter back and forth, there's malice, real malice.
Speaker B:Like we are really like very close friends.
Speaker B:But I.
Speaker B:If I knew you back then, I would kill you.
Speaker B:I would.
Speaker C:What's hilarious, I picture you, Sean, as the.
Speaker C:The horrible other version.
Speaker C:Janko jeans and a baggy, big baggy, like hockey jersey.
Speaker A:Listening to pain.
Speaker B:Yeah, my close.
Speaker B:My clothes were as big as they made them back then too.
Speaker B:You know, I didn't really have a style.
Speaker A:His big baggy jeans, I didn't have a style.
Speaker B:I didn't have for a while though.
Speaker B:I bought a FUBU jersey until my friend told me what.
Speaker B:What it meant and then I never wore it again.
Speaker B:I really had no idea what it actually meant.
Speaker B:I just thought it was cool, so I bought that.
Speaker B:I didn't really have a style like that though.
Speaker B:Like a designated style, like jet.
Speaker B:All right, so here's the other question.
Speaker B:When you had the dress shirts, right, did you have like the one that had like the real close knit, close tied collar with the little, little tiny little dot stud instead of like the tie?
Speaker C:Instead of a tie?
Speaker A:It was a Chess king.
Speaker C:Chess King.
Speaker A:Not only I worked at Chess King, so I can get those kind of clothes at like a discount.
Speaker C:Some nice maroon pleated pants.
Speaker B:Here's.
Speaker B:Here's the funny thing, Jeff.
Speaker B:I can't make fun of you because as a chubby large boy of the age of 12 and 13, there were not many cool places for me to shop.
Speaker B:So there are are many.
Speaker B:A picture of me in a matching short and shirt and short set from Chess King.
Speaker C:You were at the Steve Harvey section?
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Didn't want to go to the portly section in David Burr, so I went to the regular man section in Chess.
Speaker B:K King at 12.
Speaker A:That's great video and whatever fit you.
Speaker A:That's what you bought.
Speaker B:Yep.
Speaker A:He's sitting there making fun of us.
Speaker A:He probably dressed like a jock.
Speaker A:I could see him.
Speaker C:I did knew he was.
Speaker A:He was Emilio Estevez in A Bride.
Speaker C:I thought I was Patrick Swayze.
Speaker C:And what's that movie?
Speaker C:The Socials and the Greasers.
Speaker C:Oh yeah.
Speaker C:I thought I was Patrick Swayze, but inside I was Pony boy.
Speaker A:What store is this?
Speaker A:Oh, that's just.
Speaker B:Yeah, buddy.
Speaker C:Look at that.
Speaker C:Checkered in the background.
Speaker B:Something like that.
Speaker C:John, you had that red and blue shirt.
Speaker C:You had that red and blue shirt.
Speaker B:Green and black, like no, no man should ever wear.
Speaker B:That number one.
Speaker B:Let alone a 12 year old fat kid with a mullet.
Speaker B:You know what I mean?
Speaker B:Like, it's the last person with big Coke bottle glasses.
Speaker B:Like a fat lesbian.
Speaker B:I was fantastic.
Speaker C:What years were you?
Speaker C:High school.
Speaker C:Like, what year did you graduate?
Speaker B:I graduated 94.
Speaker C:Oh, okay.
Speaker C:All right.
Speaker C:Yeah, they were.
Speaker C:I know you're.
Speaker C:I'm.
Speaker C:I'm aware.
Speaker C:How about you, Jeff?
Speaker A:80S.
Speaker C:So Jeff is like my cousins.
Speaker C:And Sean, you were like my older brother's age.
Speaker A:Did either of you guys ever wear the shirts?
Speaker A:Like, I had this shirt too, like, lots of zippers on it.
Speaker C:Never did that.
Speaker A:No, No.
Speaker C:I did everything I could to not stand out.
Speaker A:I went out, like, to like a New Wave club, like in the.
Speaker A:Like in the mid-80s, like to, you know, to try and meet girls.
Speaker A:I would wear like this shirt with the zippers.
Speaker B:No, Jeff, I was wearing underwears at that point, buddy.
Speaker A:All right, next band.
Speaker C:I want to continue talking about Jeff's high school base.
Speaker A:Leonard Skynyrd.
Speaker A:Is it Freebird or Sweet Home Alabama?
Speaker C:It's Sweet Home Alabama and I'm going to tell you why.
Speaker C:Because Freebird.
Speaker C:The whole Freebird thing was a joke.
Speaker C:It was when they played Freebird, that's when everybody had to go to the bathroom.
Speaker C:So when other bands would be playing, they'd go play Free Bird because they have to go piss that the song that they didn't care if they missed it.
Speaker C:That's Sweet home Alabama 100.
Speaker A:Wow.
Speaker A:You don't think Free, but you don't think Freebird's more associated with.
Speaker C:But now, for a good reason, I think Sweet Home Out.
Speaker C:It's another one.
Speaker C:You hear that opening riff, everybody else.
Speaker B:Yeah, yeah, turn.
Speaker A:But what about.
Speaker A:What about the way Freebird closes?
Speaker A:Great guitar solo.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Everybody's waiting for Adam Sandler to wave to a bunch of dead people in the sky.
Speaker C:Wasn't that Freebird?
Speaker C:They were playing Freebird.
Speaker C:And he looks up in the sky and Chubbs and the Alligator and Grandma are up in the clouds.
Speaker A:Were they playing?
Speaker A:I don't think they're playing Freebird.
Speaker B:I think it was Freebird.
Speaker A:They play a Freebird.
Speaker A:I don't think so.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Adam Sandler got a good music taste.
Speaker A:He does.
Speaker A:But then that's.
Speaker A:I don't think it's that.
Speaker A:All right, AC DC Is it Shook Me All Night Long or Highway to Hell?
Speaker A:So the band.
Speaker A:But what do we think here?
Speaker C:I'm going highway to Hell because most covet song life.
Speaker C:Well, and it's.
Speaker C:It's AC DC is like, took me All Night Long was like a song for the ladies, like highway to Hell's for the fellow.
Speaker B:That's why I picked you.
Speaker B:Shook Me All Night Long.
Speaker B:Because your girlfriend knows it, your mother knows it, your grandmother knows it.
Speaker B:It's at every goddamn wedding.
Speaker B:It's on every Top 25 Rock playlist of all time.
Speaker B:It's so dumb.
Speaker C:Any.
Speaker C:Anytime you ever went to a roller skating rink, that one came on.
Speaker C:Yeah, exactly.
Speaker B:It's like on a Jock Jams mixtape.
Speaker A:If you went to a wedding, would they play highway to Hell or would they play Shook Me All Night Long?
Speaker C:It depends how horrible the bride is.
Speaker B:Should play Creeping Death.
Speaker C:No, but if those brides like Awful Woman.
Speaker C:Yeah, it's the highway to Hell.
Speaker A:Guns and Roses.
Speaker C:He looks off to the side.
Speaker C:I feel like somebody has a gun that.
Speaker C:Jeff said.
Speaker A:I got so many on this list, I gotta get through them.
Speaker A:Guns and real.
Speaker A:I'm curious to hear what you guys have to say on these.
Speaker A:You surprised me on a lot already.
Speaker A:Guns and Roses, welcome to the Jungle or Sweet Child.
Speaker A:O Mine.
Speaker C:Personal choice.
Speaker C:Sweet Child of Mine, I think.
Speaker C:Popular, even popularity.
Speaker A:It was a.
Speaker A:A circus song.
Speaker C:What is it?
Speaker A:He said it was a circus song.
Speaker A:He didn't like the beginning.
Speaker A:It was stupid.
Speaker C:Yeah, I didn't know that.
Speaker C:I.
Speaker C:I mean, welcome to the Jungles, I think the song Everybody Knows.
Speaker A:Great open.
Speaker A:You talk about great openings.
Speaker A:Holy.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:You hear that?
Speaker A:You want to fight?
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:The resident Guns N Roses expert on the show.
Speaker B:Yes, I'm the aficionado.
Speaker B:It is neither of the two.
Speaker B:Jeffrey.
Speaker C:Even though welcome to the Jungle was on Dirty Harry 5.
Speaker A:Oh, that's great.
Speaker A:Jim Carrey, right?
Speaker A:That scene.
Speaker B:They're big.
Speaker B:I think.
Speaker B:I think that they're most recognizable.
Speaker B:Deadpool.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker B:Their most recognizable song, I believe, is Paradise City.
Speaker A:I knew you're gonna say that.
Speaker B:And let me tell you, I'm not a Paradise.
Speaker B:I'm not a Paradise City fan.
Speaker B:On that first.
Speaker B:On that first side.
Speaker B:It's my least favorite song on the first side, but I think it's their most recognizable song.
Speaker A:I kind of.
Speaker A:I think I.
Speaker C:Man, that's a good call.
Speaker C:Shit, I don't even know.
Speaker C:And I love all of them.
Speaker A:You could pick all three of them.
Speaker A:It's so tough, man.
Speaker A:Gun to my head, I'm probably going, welcome to the Jungle.
Speaker A:It's my first instinct.
Speaker A:But you can make an argument for any of these songs.
Speaker A:Black Sabbath.
Speaker A:Would it be Iron man or Paranoid or another one?
Speaker C:It's.
Speaker C:It's Iron Man.
Speaker C:I feel like even as a little Kid.
Speaker C:I was a little kid.
Speaker C:It was in video games.
Speaker C:It was in.
Speaker C:It was on everything.
Speaker C:Just that opening.
Speaker C:I am Iron Man.
Speaker C:Yeah, some.
Speaker C:There's a remote control race car game at an arcade and they played it.
Speaker A:What do you think?
Speaker B:I'm going with Paranoid.
Speaker B:I think it's their great stuff.
Speaker B:Out of the.
Speaker B:Out of those two.
Speaker B:I'd have to say though, would say Paranoid.
Speaker A:Is there another one that we're missing?
Speaker B:I don't think so.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:Thinking War Pigs too.
Speaker A:And that's been on like a lot of like retro commercials lately.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:And different versions of it.
Speaker B:I think the two you picked in the two better ones.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:Kiss.
Speaker A:Now you would think the one of them is kind of a slam dunk until I give you the other one.
Speaker A:Then you're like.
Speaker A:It makes you think.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker C:I was made for loving you, baby.
Speaker A:No, not the, not that.
Speaker A:The big disco song.
Speaker A:Is it Detroit Rock City or Rock and Roll all Night?
Speaker C:Oh, see, I was thinking Rock and Roll all Night was going to be the softball.
Speaker A:That's what you would think.
Speaker A:But I think when you think Rock, Detroit Rock City knows it.
Speaker A:It's how they open up all their shows.
Speaker C:Still a movie named after it.
Speaker A:We named after me.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:I mean, I, I.
Speaker A:Underrated movie.
Speaker A:I know.
Speaker A:I.
Speaker A:I don't really remember this movie.
Speaker A:I remember seeing scenes of it.
Speaker A:It just seemed like very, very annoying.
Speaker A:But what do you think, Sean?
Speaker B:Hey, let's go back to that wedding that I was at before where they played you shook me all night long from AC D.
Speaker B:DC That DJ goes right into rock and roll all night and party every day.
Speaker B:That's the.
Speaker B:That's the song again.
Speaker A:It's.
Speaker B:Everybody knows it.
Speaker A:Yeah, I think so.
Speaker A:I think Detroit rocks it.
Speaker A:I think you're right.
Speaker A:But again, I think it's closer than people think.
Speaker B:I think so too.
Speaker B:I think so too.
Speaker B:But it's.
Speaker B:It's a no brainer.
Speaker A:This one also may be a no brainer, but again, I think when you stop and think about it, it could.
Speaker A:This could be also a little closer journey.
Speaker A:Don't stop believing or Faithfully.
Speaker C:I don't stop believing.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:How would you put faithful?
Speaker B:Faithfully?
Speaker B:You could have put any way you want it.
Speaker C:I thought Stone love.
Speaker C:Stone love would have even been added.
Speaker A:Stone is not on this Ways.
Speaker A:Separate ways is a great, really bad video.
Speaker A:Yeah, Adam, you got.
Speaker A:Adam, please bring up separate Ways video.
Speaker B:This is at the end.
Speaker A:Keyboard video.
Speaker B:Yeah, it's right at the.
Speaker A:Oh, it's so bad.
Speaker B:Take it from the course.
Speaker B:Try and get it from, like, the first chorus.
Speaker B:You don't need the whole beginning.
Speaker B:The chorus is where the cheese kicks in.
Speaker B:Because I know this video just to begin.
Speaker A:Just his.
Speaker A:His clothes, his lack of muscles on his arms, you know, and.
Speaker A:And what's the name?
Speaker A:Beavis and Butthead roasted this.
Speaker A:And the funniest thing is when they show Steve Perry, he goes, who is that?
Speaker A:Keith Partridge?
Speaker A:It's so funny.
Speaker A:But, oh, man, you can't get enough of how bad this video is.
Speaker A:I don't know how.
Speaker A:Rock me Tonight Room.
Speaker A:Billy Squire.
Speaker A:But Separate Ways video wasn't roomed by.
Speaker B:This because it was about four years too late.
Speaker B:Separate ways came out in, like, 81, 82, and the video wasn't super big.
Speaker B:And Billy Squires came out in 80, 87, 88, when it was the biggest it ever was made.
Speaker C:Everybody.
Speaker C:Oh, here we go.
Speaker C:High heel wall walk.
Speaker A:Yeah, she's.
Speaker A:She.
Speaker A:She walks with purpose.
Speaker C:It's like Jeff, she means it.
Speaker A:Look at his arms.
Speaker A:Look at his Joe mat.
Speaker A:Where's she going?
Speaker A:Who thought this was a good idea?
Speaker C:This is so.
Speaker C:This is.
Speaker C:Is that Astoria?
Speaker C:Is this every kid in junior high school and no one's watching.
Speaker A:Does he weigh 115?
Speaker C:I like the guy with the mustache to the right.
Speaker C:Like, he knows this is.
Speaker B:He's like five years older than everybody else.
Speaker C:I hope my dad doesn't find out about this.
Speaker A:Why, that's a porn mustache.
Speaker B:You had that mustache, didn't you?
Speaker A:I did.
Speaker A:I, I.
Speaker A:Sean, I'm going to show you a picture.
Speaker A:I think I brought it on the show before I had Twisted Sister in my record store.
Speaker A:And I did have.
Speaker A:I had a kind of longer sh.
Speaker A:But I had that little mustache.
Speaker A:A little.
Speaker A:That little, like.
Speaker A:Like little Weasley mustache that James woods had in Casino.
Speaker A:And I'm wearing.
Speaker A:In the shirt.
Speaker A:I'm wearing the picture.
Speaker A:I had this open shirt with like a.
Speaker A:A record medallion hanging from my chest.
Speaker C:Dude, that keyboard player, have you seen him like, this last tour?
Speaker A:Yeah, that's Jonathan Kane.
Speaker A:He used to be in the Babies.
Speaker C:So he.
Speaker C:He comes out, right?
Speaker C:He comes out on stage.
Speaker C:We're in Philly, and I.
Speaker C:I hate Angie.
Speaker C:And I was just like, neil Diamond's here.
Speaker C:He looks exactly like Neil Diamond.
Speaker A:Now get out of here, Jonathan.
Speaker A:Oh, yeah.
Speaker C:Pull up a picture of Journey right now.
Speaker A:Adam, can you find a picture of Journey right now?
Speaker A:See, Adam's the best man with this stuff.
Speaker A:And so while we're doing that, let me.
Speaker A:Let me throw up another one here.
Speaker A:And this may be pretty easy as well.
Speaker A:Nirvana Smells like Team as you are.
Speaker C:Smells like Teen Spirit.
Speaker C:I changed music when that song came out.
Speaker C:Every 80s band went, Ah, it's over.
Speaker B:Changed my life.
Speaker A:So there's nothing other like that Nirvana has that would, like, be more identifiable than.
Speaker B:No, no.
Speaker A:I thought so, too.
Speaker A:I just wanted to film Nirvana on this list.
Speaker A:How about the Clash?
Speaker A:Should I Stay or Should I Go or Rock the Casbah?
Speaker A:We're not talking best song that they have.
Speaker A:They have a million songs better than both of them.
Speaker A:But we're talking about songs that would transcend the band and, like, people we know.
Speaker C:Wait, would you.
Speaker A:Should I Stay or Should I Go or Rock?
Speaker C:That's probably the.
Speaker C:That was the bigger hit because they didn't even have a comeback with Stranger Things.
Speaker C:Like, I feel like you think, Should.
Speaker A:I say Or Should I Go Is a bigger hit than Rock the Casper.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:I don't know.
Speaker A:Wow.
Speaker B:I'm going back to the wedding again.
Speaker A:I don't think so.
Speaker A:I think if you're going back to the wedding, I think you're going Rock the Casbah.
Speaker B:You're not hearing Rock the Casbah at a wedding after AC DC and Bon Jovi.
Speaker A:You play that song, do you?
Speaker A:You.
Speaker A:Where's.
Speaker C:He's over.
Speaker C:All the way to the left.
Speaker C:Is it?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Oh, my God.
Speaker A:They did not age.
Speaker A:Look at Neil, Sean.
Speaker C:Holy God.
Speaker C:See, Perry turned Asian.
Speaker B:They look like.
Speaker A:He looks like Alice from the show.
Speaker C:Alice.
Speaker B:He looks like an old lesbian.
Speaker A:He looks like.
Speaker A:If the awful Dodger would have gotten into his 60s Oliver reference.
Speaker C:He even came out, though.
Speaker C:He came out in a white sequin tuxedo jacket and his hair was all fluffed up.
Speaker C:And I was like, neil Diamond's here.
Speaker C:Like, Neil Diamond's gonna do a solid journey.
Speaker C:That's crazy.
Speaker A:Who was that?
Speaker A:Was that Vince Vaughan at the end?
Speaker A:Is he in the pin now?
Speaker A:All right.
Speaker A:Did he pull up the picture again?
Speaker A:What?
Speaker B:What?
Speaker A:Oh, God.
Speaker A:Did he age horribly?
Speaker C:Dude, he looks just like Neil Diamond.
Speaker A:Wow.
Speaker B:I like how the little Filipino singer for, like, 25 years looked young, and now he just looks like he works at a dry cleaner.
Speaker A:Holy.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Time to pick it up.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Wow.
Speaker A:That's a brutal picture.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker B:The only thing worse would be.
Speaker B:The only thing worse instead of, like, holding his hands like that is if he was holding, like, a hammer and he was biting on the hammer instead, like, that would be worse.
Speaker A:But otherwise, I think.
Speaker A:I think people would enjoy that.
Speaker A:I think they would think that guy was.
Speaker A:Was kind of funny and kooky and they were.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:And in Complete reality.
Speaker C:The only thing he could do worse is if he was holding a marionette puppet.
Speaker C:Actually.
Speaker C:I would respect that.
Speaker C:I would be like.
Speaker A:And the things are.
Speaker A:They all look like they could use a 10.
Speaker B:When you look at these guys from Journey, it kind of looks like when you go on the road, like, and you're playing some really like bad club in like Maine, and you've never heard of the headliner and like, but the headshot is like 35 years old and then they walk in looking like this.
Speaker A:You know who Jonathan Kane looks like?
Speaker A:It's that he looks like the wid.
Speaker B:Oh, my God.
Speaker A:Oh, doesn't he?
Speaker C:Oh, my God.
Speaker C:If the Wid and Kevin Downey Jr.
Speaker A:Kevin Downey Jr.
Speaker A:Would love to look like Jonathan Cain right now.
Speaker B:Jesus Christ.
Speaker A:He would love that.
Speaker B:That's so funny.
Speaker B:Does Jonathan Kane have a 14 year old girlfriend too?
Speaker C:That Filipino singer?
Speaker A:I don't know, but let me get.
Speaker C:No, he's married to like a real housewife.
Speaker A:The Doors, fellas.
Speaker A:The Doors.
Speaker A:Is it Light My Fire or Riders on the Storm?
Speaker C:Light My Fire is probably the most famous song.
Speaker C:Even though there's like 15 songs I like more than it.
Speaker C:But like, My Fire's like.
Speaker B:I think I'm gonna go with something different.
Speaker B:I think I'm gonna go a break on through.
Speaker A:Oh, that's a good one too, man.
Speaker A:I knew I.
Speaker A:I thought there was another one that I was missing that could be it.
Speaker C:Touch Me is a good one, but it's not as commercially big as the other two.
Speaker A:My Fire is probably the big Door song.
Speaker A:Did it on the Ed Sullivan Show.
Speaker B:How was it live?
Speaker B:Did you watch it?
Speaker A:No, I.
Speaker A:I didn't watch it, Sean.
Speaker A:I didn't.
Speaker C:Didn't they open for Alice Cooper?
Speaker A:Alice Cooper now opens for that.
Speaker A:Do you remember when the.
Speaker A:When the guy from the cult, Ian Asbury, joined the Doors?
Speaker B:He was so good.
Speaker B:Yeah, he was so good.
Speaker B:Oh, my God.
Speaker B:Unbelievable.
Speaker A:Van Halen Jump or Panama?
Speaker C:Panama's the way more fun song.
Speaker C:But Jump was their big hit, right?
Speaker B:Yeah, I think I agree with that.
Speaker A:I think it's a big.
Speaker C:I feel like Panama is like a whole show of its own.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:At some point, David Lee Roth just starts talking and he.
Speaker A:I'm not a big fan of either one of them.
Speaker C:Really.
Speaker B:I'm gonna be my favorite, my favorite all time Van Aen song.
Speaker A:Are you kidding?
Speaker A:You like it better than Running with the Devil, but anything on Mean Streets, really.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Because the first time I ever performed on stage with any Kind any Way was in my first high school band that was.
Speaker B:One of the four songs that we played was Panama.
Speaker B:So it always stuck into my brain of Panama, Three Little Pigs by Green Jelly, Free World by Neil Young and Cats in the Cradle by Ugly Kid Joe.
Speaker C:Well, oh, my God.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker B:And the other band that we did, Spirit of the Radio by Rush, and there was another one too.
Speaker A:Weren't you the singer?
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:You sang Spirit in the Radio?
Speaker B:No, that one I played.
Speaker B:I think I played bass on that.
Speaker B:I didn't sing.
Speaker B:I didn't sing Spirit of the Radio because it was a kid who wanted to sing it and we all learned the music and he bailed at the end.
Speaker B:Something.
Speaker B:Something to that effect.
Speaker A:You got to sing really high on that one.
Speaker B:Yeah, I don't do that.
Speaker C:The first time I saw David Lee Roth live was out at Asbury with the rotating stage.
Speaker C:You know, it spins around or whatever.
Speaker C:Not Asbury, it's.
Speaker C:It's out in Long island.
Speaker A:NASA, Westbury.
Speaker C:Westbury.
Speaker A:Westbury.
Speaker A:He played Westbury.
Speaker C:Yeah, it was with the David Lee Roth Band.
Speaker C:The stage started spinning.
Speaker C:They do that part where he starts talking.
Speaker C:He does about 15 minutes of stand up while they're playing the do, do, do, do, do do.
Speaker C:He's like, hey, look at this guy.
Speaker C:Hey, it's Jericho Trump.
Speaker C:He starts doing crowd work.
Speaker C:He's making fun of people.
Speaker A:He's great, man.
Speaker A:He is a great, great entertainer.
Speaker A:Oh, he may.
Speaker A:He may not be able to sing like Sammy, but he is.
Speaker A:He is fun to watch.
Speaker B:Horrible radio dj, though.
Speaker B:You got to admit that he was terrible.
Speaker C:I liked it, but I liked him for how bad it was, though.
Speaker A:Like, all right, Led Zeppelin.
Speaker A:Is it Stairway to Heaven or Cashmere?
Speaker C:Probably Cashmere.
Speaker C:Even though everybody knows Stairway to Heaven.
Speaker C:I feel like it's another one, man.
Speaker C:You just play that rock, that riffs with the guitar.
Speaker A:They're both great.
Speaker A:Have great openings too.
Speaker C:Yeah, but they didn't ban Cashmere at Guitar center from being played in the playing room.
Speaker A:According to Wayne's World, yes.
Speaker A:What do you say?
Speaker B:Another one?
Speaker B:I'm going off the two.
Speaker B:I'm not taking either one.
Speaker C:Wow.
Speaker A:That'S a good one, too.
Speaker B:Again, if you want to talk about riff, you start off.
Speaker A:But is anything bigger than.
Speaker A:Than Stairway to Heaven, like any song.
Speaker B:Really from them, again, you gotta take.
Speaker B:So you gotta take songs like Stairway to Heaven and.
Speaker B:And Bohemian Rhapsody, you know, songs like that, you gotta take them out of the artist catalog, I think, at some point, because they're on different levels of anything else.
Speaker B:You know what I mean?
Speaker B:So, like when you talk about, like, yeah, okay, yeah.
Speaker B:Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven, and you got, you know, you know, Thriller, whatever the.
Speaker B:You want to say.
Speaker B:These monstrous opus songs got to be removed from the artist catalog when you're talking about the greatest because they just.
Speaker B:They just.
Speaker B:They become.
Speaker B:They become the universes at some point.
Speaker B:They're not like, they don't belong to the artist anymore.
Speaker A:Okay, so I got a couple of solo artists here.
Speaker A:Do we have.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:Eric Clapton, Is it Wonderful Tonight or I Shot the Sheriff?
Speaker C:Oh, Jesus.
Speaker B:Neither.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:What's Layla's Cream?
Speaker A:It's cream.
Speaker A:It's not Eric Clapton solo.
Speaker B:Oh, acoustic.
Speaker A:I was right.
Speaker A:Now there's a.
Speaker A:There's a big fight going on in the Ranger game that the goalie is even fighting.
Speaker B:Oh, yeah.
Speaker B:Because that's going to mean a lot when this podcast comes out in nine weeks.
Speaker A:I just want people to know that this.
Speaker A:In nine weeks, it'll be.
Speaker A:Start a baseball season.
Speaker B:Jeff.
Speaker B:I mean, I Shot the Sheriff, I don't think would be in that.
Speaker B:Should be in that.
Speaker A:So what would be.
Speaker A:The other Clapton song would be Pretending.
Speaker A:Oh, Tears in Heaven.
Speaker A:That's okay.
Speaker A:I knew I'd forget that.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Now that's a solo clap.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:So Wonderful Tonight or Tears in Heaven?
Speaker A:That.
Speaker A:Those.
Speaker B:I think you go tears in heaven with that for those two.
Speaker A:What do you say, Ricky Dyne?
Speaker A:By the way, Ricky, your hair looks good.
Speaker C:Thank you very.
Speaker C:It's.
Speaker C:I.
Speaker C:I got my.
Speaker C:I think it's because my.
Speaker C:I just put in my new fire thing, and that air is so dry that my hair is straight.
Speaker A:We got an insert in there.
Speaker C:What's that?
Speaker A:You got an insert in your fireplace?
Speaker C:Yeah, it's stove.
Speaker C:Ah, metal stove.
Speaker C:Everything's dry, so my hair's straightened.
Speaker C:Usually I have, like, the Afro.
Speaker A:Wonderful Tonight I Shot the Sheriff or Tears in Heaven.
Speaker C:Oh, go.
Speaker C:Tears in Heaven.
Speaker A:Wow.
Speaker A:I feel like your first instinct.
Speaker C:I.
Speaker C:I feel like even though the other songs were way earlier, so, like, everybody knows them forever.
Speaker C:That song was like, I was such a hit.
Speaker C:I remember being a kid.
Speaker C:It was on the radio every, like, five minutes.
Speaker B:It was horrible.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:And you got.
Speaker C:What are you guys going with?
Speaker A:Oh, I'm picked, man.
Speaker A:I don't know.
Speaker A:It's.
Speaker A:It's so close.
Speaker A:Wonderful Tonight is a lot of people's wedding songs.
Speaker A:I want my.
Speaker A:My.
Speaker A:One of my best friend says wedding song.
Speaker A:Even though I got divorced.
Speaker A:Hello.
Speaker A:Let's go, Alex Cooper.
Speaker A:Schools out or 18.
Speaker C:Schools out is the bigger hit, I definitely think.
Speaker C:Schooled out.
Speaker B:What are we doing again?
Speaker B:I'm going poison.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:100%.
Speaker A:Bigger than poison.
Speaker A:Bigger than schools out.
Speaker A:See schools out every June.
Speaker A:But 18, man, it's always going to be around because, well, 18 used to be the big age.
Speaker A:No longer.
Speaker A:Now it's 21.
Speaker A:But 18 meant you can go to the army.
Speaker A:Meant you can drink, you can drive your car.
Speaker C:Oh, you're getting out of high school, you're going solo.
Speaker C:You're getting on your own.
Speaker C:You're supposed to be leaving the nest at that time, unless you're Italian, then you move to the base.
Speaker A:And then he wrote that, like in the.
Speaker A:In the early 70s, too.
Speaker C:That's a very raw song.
Speaker C:It's like that's.
Speaker A:I made it.
Speaker A:Great song.
Speaker A:Yeah, that's a real song.
Speaker C:But if you play schools out, everybody's like Alice Cooper.
Speaker C:Like, even people who don't like edgy music is like, yes, Dallas Cooper, schools out.
Speaker B:I think if I had to pick out of the two, I would probably say school's out then.
Speaker A:Yeah, I'm gonna go with that too.
Speaker A:Mark convinced me.
Speaker A:All right.
Speaker A:One of Sean's favorites, Elvis Costello, what's so funny about Peace, Love and Understanding or Oliver's Army.
Speaker B:I don't know either one of those songs, so I'm gonna.
Speaker C:Yeah, I think it's.
Speaker C:What's the one.
Speaker C:Isn't.
Speaker C:Doesn't he sing?
Speaker C:No, I'm thinking Todd Rudren.
Speaker C:What are some of his big hits?
Speaker A:Elvis Costello.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker B:He wrote Veronica, Veronica or Every Day I Write the Book.
Speaker A:Great song.
Speaker A:Better song.
Speaker A:But.
Speaker A:Which is the but you don't think what's so funny about Peace?
Speaker A:Love's Understanding is a bigger song?
Speaker B:I don't know the song.
Speaker A:What's so funny about Peace, Love and Understanding?
Speaker B:I still don't know the song.
Speaker C:Is this horrible.
Speaker C:I.
Speaker C:Every time I think a song that I think is a better Elvis Costello song, I think of Joe Jackson.
Speaker B:I think Joe Jackson is very underrated.
Speaker A:100.
Speaker C:I love Joe Jackson.
Speaker C:I.
Speaker A:Okay, so let's pass.
Speaker B:Did you watch that yard rock documentary that was on?
Speaker C:No, but everybody's talking about it.
Speaker B:Really good.
Speaker A:Adam backs you up, Sean, on this one and says Veronica.
Speaker B:Veronica.
Speaker B:Yeah, I.
Speaker B:I bet this.
Speaker B:This yacht rock doc is seriously good, man.
Speaker B:Really, really good.
Speaker B:I mean, I.
Speaker B:Another one I didn't realize was such a monster was Christopher Cross.
Speaker B:Like, I didn't realize how big he was for like a two or three year span.
Speaker A:Sure, he won.
Speaker A:He won artist of the year.
Speaker B:Well, I was a little.
Speaker B:I'm not being a dick, but, like, I was a little Young.
Speaker A:When.
Speaker B:When it was art, you know, I wouldn't have known.
Speaker B:I caught him, obviously, a lot later on in life.
Speaker C:It's Elvis Costello.
Speaker C:I'm the man.
Speaker C:I'm the man.
Speaker C:I'm the man.
Speaker C:Joe Jackson again.
Speaker C:All right, so I'm just gonna go.
Speaker C:The best Elvis Costello song is Joe Jackson.
Speaker C:Every song I think of is Joe Jackson.
Speaker A:There you go.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:Well, okay.
Speaker A:This one's a little easier then Billy Joel, We Didn't Start the Fire.
Speaker A:Or Piano man, which is more identified with.
Speaker C:Yeah, if you talk to anybody who's ever played piano on a cruise ship, they will tell you.
Speaker C:If you request Piano man, they hate you the rest of the ship.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker C:They have to play it once a night, every night, every hour, they have to play Piano Man.
Speaker C:The Ottoman is a song that is so overplayed that 100.
Speaker C:It's that.
Speaker C:And I would say in second place would be, like, scenes from an Italian restaurant.
Speaker A:Hate that song.
Speaker A:Yep.
Speaker C:But they're.
Speaker C:They're just overplayed.
Speaker C:They're just like Uptown Girls.
Speaker C:My favorite of his music, but I like it because I was a little kid and they would.
Speaker C:Come on.
Speaker A:Wait, why are you making a face show?
Speaker A:That's a good song.
Speaker B:You know, this song is an underrated song of his.
Speaker B:A Matter of Trust.
Speaker A:Oh.
Speaker A:Off of one of his worst albums.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:That is such a bad song.
Speaker B:That's a rocking song, too, for him.
Speaker A:You know, That's a very good song.
Speaker C:Now, was that.
Speaker C:What.
Speaker C:When was that?
Speaker C:What album was that?
Speaker C:The Bridge.
Speaker C:That's when he still looked like Wee Man.
Speaker A:A terrible album, but.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:That's where you have to storm from.
Speaker B:Right before storm.
Speaker B:That was.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker C:I think that was right before Storm Front.
Speaker B:Before storm Front.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:What do you think about Downey's Easter, Alexa?
Speaker A:Good song.
Speaker B:Ugh.
Speaker A:No.
Speaker A:You like it really that bad?
Speaker B:Yeah, it's horrible.
Speaker A:It's a very good song.
Speaker B:I'm singing about a fictitious boat name after my dumb daughter.
Speaker B:No, I don't want to hear it.
Speaker A:Allentown.
Speaker B:No.
Speaker B:I think I've said this story on.
Speaker B:On the show before, but I'll say it again.
Speaker B:I'm not gonna hold it against him.
Speaker C:Who's from out.
Speaker A:Mark Ricadon is from Allentown.
Speaker C:No, I'm not.
Speaker A:He doesn't.
Speaker C:That's it.
Speaker C:I have the joke every time somebody's like, you're from Youngstown.
Speaker C:Billy Joel does that song about it.
Speaker A:Like.
Speaker A:Yeah, you see?
Speaker C:No, it's.
Speaker C:It's actually Bruce Springsteen that does a song called Youngstown.
Speaker A:Springsteen didn't Write that either.
Speaker C:Yeah, but he did.
Speaker A:That's good shit.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Allentown.
Speaker C:That song, like, ruined my early 20s.
Speaker C:Because every time somebody's like, oh, you're from Youngtown.
Speaker C:Billy Joel, huh?
Speaker A:That's actually funny.
Speaker A:What's your story?
Speaker A:Tell your story.
Speaker B:Eighth grade, we had to do some sort of assignment, and there's.
Speaker B:The teacher said to us, come up with an assignment for everybody.
Speaker B:So I said, there's this song that's called We Didn't Start the Fire, and it's got all different, you know.
Speaker B:And I played the song and I said, we can all just, like, you know, get something out of the song, and we can do our remote reports on that.
Speaker B:And the teacher was like, wow, that's really great.
Speaker B:That's a great idea.
Speaker B:So, like, I'm thinking, what a really.
Speaker A:Young, deep Sean Martin.
Speaker B:So that was my idea.
Speaker B:So now I'm saying to myself, all right, this is good, right?
Speaker B:Maybe I'll get, like, MTV or, you know, like something, you know, Joe DiMaggio.
Speaker B:What?
Speaker B:Like, all these things, it's like they're running off all the names, and then it's like everybody's getting all this.
Speaker B:Joe McCartney.
Speaker B:Richard Mixon, studio, Baker Television.
Speaker B:North Korea.
Speaker B:South Korea.
Speaker B:In the beginning, Harry.
Speaker A:It's not Mickey Mantle.
Speaker B:South Pacific, Walter.
Speaker B:Joe DiMaggio.
Speaker B:Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, studio, Baker Television.
Speaker B:What?
Speaker C:How the hell do you know the words to that?
Speaker A:Yeah, really.
Speaker C:If I had the words in front of me, I wouldn't be able to know it.
Speaker A:Definitely.
Speaker B:I'm a little bit of a savant.
Speaker B:So anyway, so, yeah.
Speaker B:Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker B:So they.
Speaker B:Everybody's getting all this cool.
Speaker B:And they go.
Speaker B:And, you know, for Sean, who gave us the assignment, and I'm like, all right, here we go.
Speaker B:And I got dn bn Fu Falls.
Speaker A:That's what I got.
Speaker B:Assignment.
Speaker B:Did you.
Speaker C:Did you go out of the box?
Speaker B:The Filipino girl next to me got Joe DiMaggio, right?
Speaker B:But I got Dnbn Foo Falls.
Speaker C:The good news is Sean wrote a whole report about Miss Saigon and Madame Butterfly.
Speaker C:So it worked out.
Speaker A:Love that place.
Speaker A:I do.
Speaker A:Okay, two more, two more.
Speaker B:Come on.
Speaker B:Hour seven, Jeff.
Speaker B:Let's go.
Speaker A:That's why I'm trying to move fast on it.
Speaker C:I can't help it.
Speaker C:We start talking.
Speaker C:I learned.
Speaker C:I get so excited.
Speaker A:You and Adam gotta stop interrupting.
Speaker A:Okay, here we go.
Speaker A:Johnny Cash.
Speaker A:Walk the Line or Ring of Fire.
Speaker C:Walk the Line.
Speaker C:They made the name the movie after it.
Speaker C:His biopic is named after it.
Speaker C:Is his biography, his books named after it.
Speaker A:Ring of Fire, though, man, you know, do more people know the song Walk the Line or Ring of Fire?
Speaker A:More covers of Ring the Fire.
Speaker A:Ring the Fire, Ring of Fire.
Speaker B:Folsom Prison Blues.
Speaker A:Is that more identifiable than Walk the Line?
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:First shot.
Speaker C:A man in renown.
Speaker B:Just go by the first line.
Speaker B:I hear that train and coming, you know, right away, it's Johnny Cash.
Speaker A:I love that.
Speaker B:I keep a close heart on this.
Speaker B:I keep a close watch on this heart of mine.
Speaker B:No one thinks about that, but no.
Speaker A:One knows the name of that song.
Speaker A:Everyone knows I Walk the Line.
Speaker C:Well, I mean, if we're going on signature, I'm saying it's Walk the Line because everything's named after that better song.
Speaker C:Sean, you're right.
Speaker A:He is kind of right.
Speaker A:That people do know.
Speaker A:I hear the Train room.
Speaker A:Yeah, that is big.
Speaker A:That's a great opening line.
Speaker A:It's probably bigger than.
Speaker A:You probably know that opening line more than you do.
Speaker A:Walk the Line.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:That's a tough.
Speaker B:You know why?
Speaker B:Because you don't even know the opening line.
Speaker C:I bet Sean does.
Speaker B:I already said it.
Speaker B:I said it a minute ago.
Speaker B:You listen to me.
Speaker B:Wrap this up.
Speaker B:Come on.
Speaker C:When did you say Walk the Line?
Speaker C:When did you say the opening line to walk?
Speaker B:I just said when you.
Speaker B:I said before.
Speaker B:I said when you're listening to a song, what's the first line?
Speaker B:Do you notice I hear that train of comments scrolling around the bend?
Speaker B:Do you notice that or do you see I keep a close watch on this heart of mine.
Speaker B:Hanging around Jeff too much Rick and Diamond because you being.
Speaker B:You were fine until about four minutes ago, and now you're trailing off to the fucking dark side.
Speaker C:Listen, if I didn't take a bunch of THC drops before we came on, I would have remembered.
Speaker B:What have I been doing all night?
Speaker A:Last one.
Speaker C:That makes you smarter.
Speaker C:That's not fair.
Speaker A:Last one.
Speaker A:Elton John, Tiny Dancer or Candle in the Wind.
Speaker C:Oh, I mean, Candle of the Wind got rewritten for a second person's death.
Speaker A:That's right.
Speaker C:That's pretty crazy to be like, hey, we gotta change this song now.
Speaker A:It's a big, iconic song, but a tiny dancer, it has really been in a lot of, like, it was a big part of WKRP in Cincinnati.
Speaker A:A lot of people do it at karaoke.
Speaker A:You know, I think more than Candle.
Speaker C:In the Wind, Candle of the Wind's like a national fucking anthem in England now.
Speaker B:I'm going to go back to something I said before, though.
Speaker B:I think Tiny Dancer is one of those songs like a Bohemian Rhapsody and a Stairway to Heaven.
Speaker C:It's in its own.
Speaker B:It's in its own league.
Speaker B:Like, everybody in the world knows that song, Almost Famous, you know?
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:Would I been better off picking your song?
Speaker B:It's a great song.
Speaker C:That's a great song.
Speaker C:Even though we got his first draft, you can pick.
Speaker B:You could pick any of, like 10 Elton John songs, and any two of the ones would have been fine.
Speaker C:I mean, the guy wrote like.
Speaker C:Like, just wrote hit.
Speaker C:So it's like.
Speaker B:Well, I wasn't even knows how amazing he is, but I think people aren't gonna really recognize how amazing he is until he dies and all these tributes start coming out because he is truly one of the greatest we've ever seen.
Speaker A:They made a movie about him.
Speaker C:Yeah, I've still.
Speaker B:The movie is at the premiere.
Speaker A:Yeah, but how many more tributes do you want?
Speaker A:What do you want?
Speaker B:No, I'm.
Speaker B:What I'm saying is, like, he's gonna go, what are your social.
Speaker B:What are your social handles, Mark?
Speaker A:Thank you.
Speaker C:We went to see the Elton John movie.
Speaker C:I was on tour with Dom Cotter, me, and I met with up with my dad.
Speaker C:I go, let's go see this movie.
Speaker C:Just came out.
Speaker C:We went and see it.
Speaker C:Cotter shows up right after we're walking out of the movie theater, and Carter walks over with Mitch Tatel.
Speaker C:It was the three of us, and then he walked over.
Speaker C:And neither of them have met my father yet.
Speaker C:My dad's really funny, and a lot of comedians love him because he.
Speaker C:It's always as a joke, and it sits there like, how's the movie goes?
Speaker C:I don't want to give it away, but he's gay.
Speaker C:He said, it's so dry.
Speaker C:So matter of fact.
Speaker A:And both.
Speaker C:Both Mitch Fatal and Tom Cotter went.
Speaker B:That'S great.
Speaker A:Where can people find you, Mark?
Speaker C:You can find me at drinks, jokes and storytelling or at Mark Ricadonna on all the socials.
Speaker C:I try to clip daily.
Speaker C:I've been clipping stuff from our.
Speaker C:Our appearances on this show.
Speaker A:I saw and getting some good views.
Speaker A:You're doing a web series, am I right?
Speaker C:Yes.
Speaker C:So.
Speaker C:Well, there's two different things.
Speaker C:We did a thing called Checked out, which is a sketch of two guys that work in a convenience store by the UN and constantly have interactions with miscommunications.
Speaker C:It's pretty fun.
Speaker C:But then I also doing this thing called Unsuited, which is about poker, and Dan Laurie is in it.
Speaker C:And I did a scene with Tom Arnold.
Speaker C:And there's a couple other, you know, semi notable folks that are jumping in.
Speaker A:And doing my father from the Wonder years.
Speaker C:Yeah, he's awesome.
Speaker A:I saw him on Broadway and he played Vince Lombardi.
Speaker A:Oh, my God.
Speaker A:He was.
Speaker A:He was Vince Lombardi.
Speaker A:He was perfect.
Speaker B:Yeah, that's a great.
Speaker B:That's a great casting right there.

Speaker A:You know, we talked about that.
Speaker A:He's huge.
Speaker A:Football guy.
Speaker A:Great, great guy.
Speaker A:That.
Speaker A:That must have been a good experience for you.
Speaker C:So I had three days on set with them, and it was like, I couldn't wait to get back to the green room holding area just to sit and hear him tell stories.
Speaker C:And what was.
Speaker C:What blew my mind, what really kind of messed with me with him is his best friend is Lewis Black.
Speaker C:So he loves stand up comedy.
Speaker C:Like, loves it.
Speaker C:So the second he found out I was a comic, he sat down and he wanted to hear stories from me.
Speaker C:And I was like, dude, I don't got shit.
Speaker C:Like, you were a marine.
Speaker C:You were a famous TV shows.
Speaker C:You've been on Broadway several times.
