0:33

up with each other. Then we answer a listener's

question after I sing a little song for

0:38

no real reason. So cute. Followed

0:40

by interview incredible guests such as public

0:42

defenders, mental health professionals, and

animal scientists. So that's

0:46

the show. And if you're still pretty confused,

6:31

by Arthur Russell.

from his album,

6:35

Iowa dream.

6:37

Didn't know much about Iowa. Didn't know much

about

Arthur Russell. and

6:43

somebody recommended

6:46

this new record of his that passed

6:48

posthumously passed

6:50

away many years ago and blew

6:53

me away. I think it's a he's a very

6:55

interesting obviously, all the best show listeners

6:57

are way ahead of me on this. This

6:59

is a a cool crowd. And you don't know

7:02

about Arthur

7:03

Russell did? You

7:05

don't know about Arthur Russell? You

7:08

just found out about Arthur Russell.

7:10

That's

7:10

my impression of a best show listener. That's

7:12

pretty cool. Thank you. Yeah. Jason

7:15

Gores in Studio with me. Yeah.

7:17

7:30

discovered I had the China

7:32

virus. Yep. Yeah. And we were

7:34

watching the president, the former president

7:36

Donald Trump who's speaking now. He's still

7:38

watching this. He's still going. Let's flip it.

7:40

7:42

They are very, very angry. Now

7:45

we have a president who falls

7:53

in contempt by the German

7:56

government over Afghanistan.

7:59

Thanks

7:59

to the

8:01

Yeah.

8:06

We're not gonna spend too much time

8:08

on that. But we were listening right as the as the

8:10

music started. What's this now?

8:12

Is

8:12

this a prank?

8:14

C's unbelievable. C's

8:17

candy? And I

8:19

if this is from who I think it is,

8:22

I will not be returning the

8:24

gesture. We have ladies and gentlemen,

8:26

if you're just listening with box of box

8:28

of flowers and a bouquet of

8:30

chocolates just arrived.

8:32

Big hug. Nope.

8:34

This is from a very special person here.

8:37

Tim, there is no one else that I

8:39

would trust. I'm gonna get

8:41

weepy. To host the best show, it is

8:43

an honor, and I hope you have a fantastic

8:45

time love, your friend,

8:47

Pat,

8:48

Bern. No. Tom,

8:52

with a big t,

8:53

And the the card

8:55

says sometimes it's nice to have a big

8:58

hug from someone who cares and

9:00

the the inside of the card, the prewritten

9:02

section of the car, which I think often gets overlooked.

9:05

Yeah. So I'm sending one just for

9:07

you. Thinking of you today. Isn't that Swaddlers?

9:09

And I love C's candies.

9:11

These

9:12

these chocolates, if you're if you're

9:14

on the East Coast or anywhere else in the

9:16

world, I'm

9:16

telling you folks, this is something that

9:19

us Californians can be

9:20

proud of. This is

9:22

a fine box of chocolates. So thank you,

9:24

Tom. And

9:25

totally

9:28

throw my train of thought. I was just

9:30

hoping that we would I

9:31

could get through a couple of minutes without

9:34

being

9:34

interrupted. What that we were talking well,

9:36

the we were dipped in on Trump. Yes. And

9:38

we're not gonna dip back. Unless you wanna dip

9:40

back. Let's see what we get together

9:42

with you. Hey. Thank you.

9:47

The

9:47

decline of America is being forced

9:49

upon us by Biden and the

9:51

radical left lunatics running our

9:53

ground. right into the Alright. Thank you.

9:55

Alright. Thank you. Good to hear from you,

9:57

sir. Yeah. Well, the only

9:59

thing we

9:59

just checked it right away, we've we caught

10:02

him saying,

10:03

that how people are

10:06

doing much better under his. He said,

10:08

men, women,

10:11

African Americans separate

10:14

them from the men and women category, apparently.

10:18

Well, listen, let me just start with a preamble, a

10:21

secondary preamble and

10:23

say thank you Tom

10:25

and the best show

10:27

what the best show means to me is

10:31

I can recall whenever it

10:33

was two thousand two thousand

10:35

one maybe.

10:37

Somebody could have been producer Matt

10:39

Carlin from office hours who I've known for a long

10:41

time. Somebody hit me

10:43

to the

10:44

best show and sent

10:46

around what was going was very, I would

10:48

say, pre social media

10:50

those days was, I would consider sort of

10:52

a viral

10:53

share was the

10:56

rock rock or roll?

10:57

Is it

10:58

or rock rock rock and roll? And

11:01

Denver. Yeah. And See,

11:02

that's confusing to me. Yeah. Because I

11:04

would always Am I correct, Pat? Mike? It's Rock

11:06

Rock Rock and Rural. Right? Or am

11:08

I being fired tonight? No. It's

11:10

rock, rock, rock, and roll. Good. Rock, thank you.

11:12

But shouldn't it be rock, rock, or Or

11:15

because these are the choices. Anyways, It

11:18

blew my mind. It was a seminal,

11:20

comedic moment in

11:22

inspiration. I thought it was the funniest

11:24

thing I'd heard since what?

11:26

The jerky boys? No.

11:30

But you know, I mean, listen. I grew

11:32

up on the jerky. I'm not not I don't

11:34

know what Tom thinks about the jerky boys, but I

11:36

there are things that use that that come into your

11:38

life that change. And And

11:42

when Eric and I got our

11:44

first adult swim show, Tom

11:46

was

11:46

right there saying, you ever wanna call into

11:48

the best show, It be honor. It was an honor

11:50

for us to do very I

11:53

can't remember all of them, but we used to call in a

11:55

lot and do long

11:57

dumb bits And

11:59

Tom's been a friend

11:59

and for a long time, and

12:02

I think what he's done with this

12:04

show is tremendous

12:05

No one's

12:07

ever done it like this before. And

12:09

I

12:09

mean nobody. You know?

12:12

And I mean nobody. And

12:15

so

12:15

we agree with, you know, office

12:17

hours, my show that you can see here, big promotion

12:20

for office hours if you're watching right now, office

12:22

hours live with Doug and Vic.

12:24

And

12:26

we we recently signed with this

12:28

Forever Dog, but they got a whole sign out

12:30

there. If you're not

12:31

if you haven't stopped by the studio, do you invite

12:33

audience to come to the studio ever ever

12:35

No. No. We're not gonna give the address out.

12:37

I mean, they could see it from the street. Yeah. There's

12:39

a big sign. It's right across from the minions

12:42

and the universal studio and everything.

12:45

So we we

12:47

crafted this little switcheroo, I

12:50

didn't know if I I think it was my suggestion. I didn't know

12:53

if Tom was gonna go for it. I

12:55

would be very understanding if

12:57

he didn't think he wanted to do

12:59

that. I I understand the

13:02

the the dearest by which he holds

13:04

this domain. But

13:07

anyways, we said, let's do it. We put the date

13:09

on the calendar. We're gonna

13:11

commit to this. Now, just to

13:13

just so you understand my level

13:16

of commitment to being here tonight.

13:18

I'm gonna put

13:18

you a couple days back to Friday.

13:22

Where were you

13:22

13:43

animals. I'm with you. Right. I

13:45

14:58

This,

15:16

Okay? It's very disorienting.

15:19

Yeah. The flat first, it was the flowers

15:21

and the chocolates. I'm trying

15:23

to I I did send candies also,

15:25

but I I just got a text. They went

15:27

to the iHeart. Oh,

15:30

15:34

red flag. I write back, wanna do

15:36

15:40

I can't get out by four PM so I

15:42

15:52

it work or don't. I don't need to do

15:55

this. I'd love to. Yeah. I

15:57

go, they go, they're working on it, but they

15:59

might be locked into the schedule. I go,

16:01

well, then I just gotta let that fish

16:03

go. You know what I mean?

16:06

It's

16:06

not the end of the world. But I'm not

16:08

calling you and Tom

16:11

and

16:11

producer Matt and saying, hey, we gotta rethink

16:13

this Tuesday night thing. I'm not doing that. I'm

16:15

not bailing on this. No. And

16:18

Monday weekend goes by. I'm

16:20

thinking they're shooting this Tuesday. I guess it's

16:22

not happening. Monday morning they

16:24

go, we have

16:26

found a way to make it

16:28

work. We are

16:30

moving the schedule gonna

16:32

get you out. We're still doing Tuesday.

16:34

Wow. We're gonna get you out by

16:36

four. And

16:37

four out.

16:39

Hard out. And I'm the I

16:43

gotta hard out. Yeah. And they respect

16:45

that. And so

16:46

what was I doing today, which is the

16:48

breaking news, not this big

16:50

announcement we're seeing from now, from

16:53

Don John, We're stuck on the

16:55

donut on jump. Yeah. It

16:57

was I was on set in Hollywood

17:00

shooting a new episode

17:03

of the great Netflix show,

17:05

Tim Robinson, I think you should

17:07

leave. But And this is a

17:09

scoop. This is

17:09

a scoop. The Hollywood reporter is

17:12

now

17:13

furiously typing up a

17:15

or TMZ whoever.

17:18

So that that just is a

17:20

little inside inside baseball

17:21

story about what this means.

17:23

And and it's also a good way for me

17:25

to stretch. Oh, God. The show? I'm

17:28

no. You know? Oh, it's

17:30

good for people than that. We're

17:32

already by the way, Tom says, is are

17:46

little after the thought here, but here

17:48

it is. Come on.

17:51

17:53

was the scoop. There's the scoop. And what we'll

it will be a very funny scene. Everybody

18:06

was loving it. I did I had a little

18:08

it was

18:09

not my strongest day as an actor

18:12

today. I was very much distracted by this

18:14

program. I was forgetting some of my

18:16

lines, but everybody

18:18

seemed happy at the end of the day we made

18:21

it work. Let's can

18:23

we

18:23

should we take a

18:26

call? Yeah. We The topic today,

18:28

2019890012

18:30

The topic is the

18:33

top the twenty not top bottom

18:35

worst Beatles songs. Twenty worst Beatles

18:37

songs. What are they? We haven't talked

18:39

about some of the rules or conditions of

18:41

this. If there are any, there may

18:43

not be. Are we

18:46

talking covers? Do we get a exemption?

18:49

I think not. No. I think this is

18:51

just whatever's on we're

18:53

not doing stuff that never got

18:55

released, I think that would be a

18:57

mistake. And, Tim, a

18:58

lot of people were asking too online

19:00

if we're allowed to include

19:02

Beatles solo No. No way. That's why

19:05

they're not in the Beatles. No. It was our

19:07

biggest question. So we're gonna That would

19:09

be the whole list. I

19:11

don't get that at all. I don't get

19:13

how one single person would

19:16

have that confusion happen

19:19

for them. And it

19:20

seems like these are the kind of people that are just

19:22

looking for attention. Yeah. because they

19:24

know the answer in their hearts. So let's

19:26

take a call. Let's do it. Here we

19:29

go. Hello?

19:33

Hello? Yes. Who am I

19:35

speaking with? Now doesn't Tom always say the

19:37

arrow? He says he'll say best show.

19:39

Best show.

19:41

Best show you're on the air. This is

19:44

Jason.

19:45

hello Hello?

19:46

Jason. Hello. This is Jason. From

19:48

the Friday the thirteenth movies. From

19:52

the Friday the thirteenth movie, yes. I'm wearing

19:54

my mask and everything. doesn't sound

19:56

like it? Well, you

19:58

know,

19:58

I

19:59

I'm lifting it up so you could hear hear So

20:02

you're not where you can't see me.

20:04

Well, I mean, yeah,

20:04

it's it's it's over my forehead,

20:07

not on the lower half of my face. Oh, by

20:09

by the way, and and people might say, would be

20:11

wondering, I'm wearing a baseball

20:13

cap inside and

20:16

why? Because I was in hair

20:18

and makeup and look at this. This is a

20:20

proof of this is all

20:22

jelled up and moosed up from the

20:24

shoot today. And

20:25

look at it looks actually, it's pretty

20:27

good. This is kind of a reveal.

20:30

Yeah. It's a

20:30

total reveal. They can put this

20:33

on the DVD extras. Alright.

20:35

Get rid of that. I wasn't happy with that

20:37

anyways. Jason, how can

20:39

I help you this evening?

20:41

Well, I guess, I – did you say

20:44

– did you propose an

20:47

exemption for – or

20:49

just removing ringo from the

20:51

list. But if not,

20:53

I I mean, I'm just gonna go straight for don't catch

20:55

me by. Uh-huh.

20:56

I don't know. That's I

20:58

I think we do

21:01

no exemptions for Ringo. I think

21:03

we do no exemption

21:06

exemptions for covers. It's

21:08

just whatever came out on those, what

21:10

are they,

21:10

nine albums, fourteen albums, whatever they

21:13

are. Whatever was on them, I

21:15

think that'll make our lives a

21:17

lot easier It'll

21:18

fill the list quickly, but

21:20

you wanna put don't pass me by on

21:22

there. I would be

21:23

by the way, Am

21:25

I the judge? Yeah. You're the judge. You're the if if

21:27

you don't agree an execution executioner.

21:32

Very yeah. Yeah. I would agree. I think don't pass me

21:34

by and again again, we

21:36

must remember. Love all these songs.

21:38

I'd

21:38

listen to them any day of the week.

21:41

But I've

21:41

always said my problem with don't pass

21:43

me by off the white

21:45

album nineteen sixty eight

21:48

is what's missing from that

21:50

song? is some nice

21:53

Paul harmonies. Maybe even Paul and

21:55

John. But -- Yeah. -- doing a

21:57

little third, a little country third

21:59

harmony on the second or third

21:59

verse, if you listen to that

22:01

song and we should not play any Beatles

22:03

songs. Right? because we'll just get shut

22:06

down. Yeah. I think they'll they'll show Well, just you

22:08

can go on your on your if you have another

22:10

device, you can go and reference

22:13

this. I'm not out here saying that everybody

22:15

just has easy access to

22:17

multiple devices. But

22:19

listen to

22:20

it and and it

22:22

it's a it's to me, it feels like a very lonely song.

22:25

It feels like they recorded the You

22:28

agree with that? And it is a lonely song,

22:30

anyway. But I

22:32

agree

22:32

with one hundred percent. Yeah. But they I mean, it

22:34

just I mean, that's what I feel kinda bad

22:36

about actually putting Ringo on there. I

22:38

might switch it out. for

22:40

Rocky Rockyoon because of

22:42

Paul's recommendation, Joshua.

22:44

But, like

22:45

but, yeah, they leave they leave Ringola to

22:47

dry, like, every time. Yeah.

22:49

Well, not at any time. There was there was

22:51

great Ringo backing vocals going with, you

22:53

know, a little help from my friends and

22:56

all the you know, even the one on whoever

22:58

sold, they get that country thing going.

23:00

So alright. Let's let's not

23:02

let's not just spend the whole show talking about,

23:04

don't pass me by. We're putting it

23:06

on the list. Thanks for the call.

23:10

No problem.

23:10

Thank you so much, Dan. I am saying I

23:12

by the way, I'm already so happy. I

23:15

don't have an all

23:17

love, Doug and Vic. Uh-huh. But and

23:19

they're watching now most probably Most

23:22

-- Taking notes. -- Doug's probably not watching. He's

23:25

probably not aware that this is

23:27

happening. But

23:28

to not have the assault. When it and

23:30

it is assault, Uh-huh. What they do with me, with their

23:32

sound effects and their drops that people love

23:34

and tell me how much I love them. Just

23:37

23:39

and have this silence, have you

23:41

23:43

vibe, and I hope people are enjoying it so

23:45

23:50

to use them judiciously. Very judiciously.

23:56

signs the number on the list. I Yes.

line first of all, it's a horror fun, but there's a

27:04

line of the songs that says

27:07

fun Fun is the one thing that

27:09

money can't buy. Now,

27:12

It's incredible what they were able to do with

28:26

all the loops all that thing. just

28:28

the lazy taking

28:30

I know this, you know, they like to talk

29:49

about music on this show a lot and

29:51

just want to let you all know big

29:54

news for myself that you all might

29:56

be interested in, but I'm going to be

29:58

working with the great Bruce

29:59

Springsteen for his upcoming

30:02

tour. Oh, really? His And

30:04

what capacity? His tour

30:06

manager.

30:07

Yeah. Uh-huh.

30:09

Super nervous though.

30:11

Super nervous. I haven't

30:13

done this in a very, very long

30:16

time. How did I would

30:16

assume thirty years. Yeah.

30:19

Thirty years. So I I would assume

30:21

that Bruce just has has a

30:24

guy. that's been doing it

30:27

forever. Is are you replacing

30:29

somebody that's yeah.

30:31

I'm I'm replacing somebody have

30:33

a guy that fell out. And

30:35

I I got hired. Fortunately, I

30:37

got a, you know, lucky strike there.

30:40

But I haven't done it a very long time,

30:42

and I am super nervous working with the great

30:44

Bruce Springsteen. You know, I want everything to

30:46

go just right for him.

30:48

You

30:48

know, stuff I don't know

30:50

about Bruce that I gotta learn.

30:53

You know?

30:54

Like, you know,

30:55

what kind of laxative

30:57

cocktails does Bruce like to

31:00

drink before a show, you know, stuff

31:02

like that? What? What?

31:05

What kind of what? laxative cocktail?

31:07

Why would I I don't even

31:08

know what that is. What what do

31:11

you

31:11

mean?

31:13

Well, you know, just like

31:14

something when Bruce

31:16

is ready to kinda unload on the stage

31:19

and You know, it's what

31:21

I'm used to is this is kind of the the

31:23

setup that I'm used to with with the

31:25

group that I used to work

31:27

with thirty years ago and

31:29

Who did

31:29

you use to work with? kinds of things and

31:32

who did you use to work with? What's

31:34

that? Who did you use to work with? I

31:36

used to work Yeah. I used to work with

31:38

Gigi Allen. Oh, I

31:40

see. Uh-huh. Okay.

31:42

So that's

31:43

is that the last person you tour

31:46

managed? as

31:47

the only person I've ever worked

31:50

with.

31:51

Right. And

31:52

the how

31:54

did you how did Bruce

31:56

find you? How did you get involved in

31:58

the Bruce orbit?

32:02

I guess

32:02

through the phone book, you know, I'm in I'm in

32:04

the LA phone book, and I guess he

32:06

he found me They're

32:09

a real local there, and

32:11

so, you know, we kinda hooked up. But,

32:13

you know,

32:14

well, you know, I need

32:17

Yeah. Are you I

32:19

I are you have you seen a Bruce

32:21

Ringstein concert?

32:24

no No. Really? Have you because

32:26

I need to know, like, what how much like, how much

32:28

how many pounds of zap

32:31

do I need for his concerts?

32:33

Of what? You

32:35

know, for for, you know, the stuff they

32:38

lay down for the vomit and things Oh,

32:40

no. No. No. Jerry Jerry Jerry Jerry

32:42

Jerry Jerry. Jerry.

32:43

yeah, Bruce

32:46

doesn't evacuate

32:49

his bodily fluids

32:52

at

32:53

at all all. Except perhaps,

32:55

I guess, you could say Well, not a

32:57

sweat because he sweat. He's a hardest working man

32:59

to show business in my opinion. Living

33:03

Yeah.

33:03

Hardest working man. So, yeah, I think

33:05

you might get the wrong might have got the wrong

33:08

idea about what this show

33:10

is going to entail. That would be

33:12

my unsolicited two

33:14

cents on this situation. Well,

33:16

I guess it's

33:17

kind of a relief. I mean, I was

33:19

kind of wondering, I'm worried about, you know,

33:21

Bruce is more big arenas that

33:24

I'm like, you know, Bruce is

33:26

an older guy, you know. I mean, can

33:28

he can he

33:28

hurl feces like a No. This is

33:31

about He won't be doing Jason,

33:33

do you do you have a,

33:35

you know, a chime in on this? This this is you've

33:37

got the entire are you sure you're speaking

33:40

with Bruce

33:41

Springstein, born to run, born

33:44

to run, but born in the

33:46

USA, born on the Bayou, born

33:49

at the wrong at the right time. Born on

33:51

the tunnel of love. Born on the tunnel of love.

33:53

Born in the tunnel of love. the

33:55

Bruce brings him to the Bruce I know who

33:57

he is. You know,

33:59

I mean,

34:00

I'm hoping, like, during the

34:02

the Jungle Land solo.

34:04

We we're gonna I got an idea. We can, like,

34:06

dispute blood out of it on No. A couple of

34:10

roads. Alright.

34:12

Well,

34:13

what no. No. I don't think

34:16

so, but I'm not one to tell you

34:18

what to do or what brute maybe

34:20

that's what Bruce wants to do. I

34:22

don't know. I I

34:23

don't know why I'm in the middle of

34:25

this either. Right. I mean,

34:27

I I guess, in

34:30

my opinion, though, if you what you're telling me

34:32

is wrong. maybe Bruce needs to to shake things up a little bit. And instead

34:34

of these, you know, boring stories,

34:37

he needs to to

34:40

scream and and you shout

34:42

incoherently and, you know, wake

34:44

up. It's an older crowd, I would imagine. Just

34:46

wake them up. It's a all age

34:49

all ages situation with

34:51

Bruce. Well,

34:52

listen, Jerry, I

34:55

I would go back to

34:57

the drawing board with with

34:59

your plans for Bruce. And and and,

35:01

you know, I would approach it like

35:04

this.

35:04

Listen

35:05

to what he wants to

35:07

do and try a great tour manager is there to just make

35:09

the artist's life easy easier

35:12

and take care of all

35:14

the logistics. and the

35:16

travel and making sure everyone gets there on

35:18

time and he's sort of the conduit between the

35:20

rest of the band and everything. Yeah. So what I would

35:22

do is just if you would If

35:24

you're serious about that. I mean, I'm

35:26

kind of I'm kind of on that kind of thing.

35:28

I mean, I'm I'm doing it. I mean,

35:30

I've got a rider. I want no working

35:32

toilets there, you know?

35:34

No. No. No. No. Just just go

35:37

ahead. Bye.

35:40

had you know, I

35:41

don't want Bruce to be tempted to go to

35:43

the toilet there when he needs to be going

35:45

on stage, you know. I want him I wanna

35:47

know what kind of gauge chain to put

35:50

on the outside of the the

35:52

doors so people can't leave during

35:53

the first

35:56

song. Right. Well,

35:56

listen, forget what you think

35:59

is going to happen.

35:59

Don't do the

36:01

rider. Just talk to

36:06

the boss. That's

36:06

why they call him the boss. Okay. Just say go

36:08

in

36:09

there with a go

36:14

in there with an open mind, without any agenda,

36:16

without any expectations, and

36:19

say, boss, tell me what

36:21

you envision for the show. If

36:23

he brings up going to the bathroom

36:25

on stage or vomiting or any of

36:27

this other business, it seems like you're the

36:29

right guy and you're gonna be able

36:31

to facilitate that. Ods are. He's just gonna have a yeah.

36:33

I'll just wanna, like, you know,

38:23

crossed. I mean,

38:25

i mean I

38:26

mean, everybody knows Springsteen likes to go in the middle of

38:28

a ramrod usually. But he

38:30

goes off stage. It's never on stage.

38:34

Yeah. So

38:34

this episode is sponsored by better

39:00

got no control over your life and maybe

39:02

you start to

39:04

lose hope or

39:05

get a get worried about

39:08

things and that's when

39:21

and having somebody who I could talk to

39:23

39:26

myself in it. non judgmental

a picture. Was it a picture

44:15

of Vic vomiting out

44:16

in front of the bus like him?

44:20

It looks like him in the rafters. I'm almost positive. It's

44:22

like a sad movie. Did he sneak in

44:24

and watch the show? Here's what looks just

44:28

like fish. Well, he was he

44:30

was in the lane. If he was in the

44:32

blue chairs, then I think I have,

44:34

like, a funny

44:36

Saturday for I don't think he

44:38

was. He was curled up in his butt of

44:40

dying. Oh, he was.

45:04

like, around what year

45:07

you got into the

45:10

Beatles? Oh, yes. That's the question everybody wants to know.

45:12

That's the topic. Yeah. People

45:14

I think -- What year? --

45:16

really, I'm wanting to know. Let's

45:20

play I mean, what age? What age? What age?

45:22

Like, it was like your big, like

45:25

because I think everybody has

45:27

that very legal, ma'am. Whatever I am in, like,

45:29

eighth grade, seventh grade, eighth

45:32

grade, I'm I I can write.

45:33

I can tell you I

45:35

can tell you my dad No.

45:38

Thirteen.

45:38

I could tell

45:40

you. I didn't. Sorry. Thank

45:42

you so much, sir. First

45:44

time on the

45:46

phone? Hit

45:48

me. No.

45:52

Listen. I'll tell you.

45:54

I my two memories are this.

45:56

One is my dad

45:58

had the sixty seven

45:59

to seventy blue

46:02

best of cassette. He

46:04

he

46:04

got that and we'd be

46:06

driving around. He'd play it. And

46:08

he also had, like, a bunch of oldies tapes and, like, you

46:10

know, Roy Orbison and Dillon

46:12

and stuff. And then We

46:15

used to goof on the Beatles. We used to

46:17

goof on Lucy in the sky with

46:20

Diamond. Picture yourself. Like, we

46:22

just thought it was ridiculous. But

46:24

then something you

46:25

know, something grabbed me about it. Like, it was don't know. There's probably,

46:27

like, all the

46:27

posters at, like, the we had a shop.

46:29

What was the shop called that was, like, Hollywood

46:32

Video or

46:34

something like that or, like, sunset video in the

46:36

mall. Suncoast. Suncoast video

46:38

in the mall. Yeah. Yeah. And there was just,

46:40

like, a

46:42

coach here. like, I think nineteen eighty seven was the CD

46:44

reissues. Mhmm. And and

46:46

that got a lot of attention. And and there was it

46:48

was just in the air, and I I just

46:51

Dovin, started reading books,

46:54

and and, you know, it was off to the

46:56

races. So

46:58

Right. This

46:59

is something, like, the edge. Right? Like, kind

47:01

of, like, Metals called ish edge. Yeah.

47:03

Alright? Right. So okay.

47:05

This

47:06

right

47:07

is a preference. for

47:09

my song that I'm picking. And

47:10

I think it's gonna be really polarizing,

47:14

but it's because

47:16

I was thirteen

47:18

when this

47:19

son came out, and it was, why

47:21

don't you

47:21

get a job is when this

47:23

son came out? And

47:26

that's

47:26

why I fucking I'm

47:28

sorry. I fucking hate of the day

47:30

of Oh, yeah. Well, that's not

47:33

gonna be polarizer. I think that's going

47:35

on the list right away. Yeah. That

47:38

show that show what's it called? I

47:40

feel like that song, like,

47:42

really pushed It was like Wonderful year. that's why No. No. Not no.

47:44

They did. There's no way I can go back.

47:46

Somebody asked to find out the

47:48

show that was on with the

47:52

I

47:52

I don't know what

47:55

to

47:55

call the character on that corky.

47:58

Corky was

47:59

on that show. And that's life goes on. Life goes on. Yeah. And that's the

48:02

lyric from the Does

48:04

Moncton look in

48:06

the marketplace. And

48:08

Paul

48:08

McCartney has said about that song. You know, it was a -- Yeah.

56:42

I am a character. I know you know

1:00:12

is is It's

1:00:12

literal. Well, it's like a little I

Sorry. You know me. morning.

1:00:23

Double unharmed that. Definitely,

1:00:25

Sabboy truffle goes on the list.

1:00:27

so excited at when

1:00:28

on the list. And don't pass me by.

1:00:31

But So are

1:00:32

the ringo rules? It's

1:00:34

all

1:00:34

fair game. because he's getting

1:00:36

1:00:37

list. Well, he already

1:00:38

is. There's the list so far. Don't

1:00:40

pass me by. he's number five, being for the

1:00:42

benefit of mister kite. I actually think soap

1:00:44

plus me bi is one

1:00:46

of Ringo's better songs.

1:00:49

I think

1:00:49

he's got many worse, but

1:00:51

I'm really excited to get into

1:00:53

this. Okay. Good. This is how

1:00:55

rudimentary I am. Like, So so they would what was

1:00:57

the division of labor? Like, like,

1:00:59

did they, like Were

1:01:01

they, like, you can

1:01:02

do a few songs where you sing

1:01:06

leads? Yeah. But but I I was asking Claudia to listen to Karl. Is it all

1:01:08

singling? Can you write it? Or is it like

1:01:10

I wrote this to you in a singly? Like Well,

1:01:12

by the end, there,

1:01:14

Ringo started saying, well, I can

1:01:16

do this. Yeah. And he would bring terrible songs. And

1:01:17

they'd be mean to him about them.

1:01:19

Oh,

1:01:19

wow. But Fair

1:01:22

enough.

1:01:22

Yes. They're

1:01:23

not good. Yeah. And often

1:01:26

they'd give him cupboards and he just

1:01:28

ruins all. Oh,

1:01:29

oh, like what? Well,

1:01:31

boys, the chirrell song.

1:01:33

Yeah. Yeah. Boys.

1:01:36

No, John. No idea. This is

1:01:38

a song where this is Century.

1:01:40

That's

1:01:41

a good song. Yeah. But like His version of Ringo's

1:01:42

version is not the best version of

1:01:44

that song. Okay. He's always doing

1:01:46

great. You're coming hot.

1:01:49

Well, I'm good. I'm happy. I'm good. Are you happy?

1:01:51

it. You just

1:01:59

look, John, if you

1:01:59

just wanna watch yourself on the monitor, that's

1:02:02

fine. It's so hard because I just see myself in the

1:02:04

profile. It

1:02:04

does cut away from us whenever we

1:02:06

look at this sandwich sock. Alright. So you wanna just put the

1:02:08

Ringo songs on there? Yeah. Okay. Get it

1:02:13

little help, my friend. No.

1:02:15

I don't want to. That's a ringo. That's

1:02:17

his best. I would say

1:02:18

that's his best. Right? He said,

1:02:20

1:02:23

it. Yeah. That's why it's good.

1:04:59

the the the the genesis of yellow

1:05:02

submarine? No. What do what is it? It's

1:05:04

fascinating because it started

1:05:06

as a very sad John's

1:05:09

Right. Where he was just on the guitar

1:05:12

singing in the

1:05:12

town, where I was born, all

1:05:15

I was alone. I was

1:05:18

alone. Have you heard that, Jason? Yeah.

1:05:20

It's very cool. It's, like, really

1:05:22

sad. And I am I was, like, oh, you make it a

1:05:24

happy song actually. If it's a really

1:05:26

cool car too. Probably gonna

1:05:28

be a pretty good cartoon. Because why did they

1:05:30

keep

1:05:30

giving ringo these, like, aquatic,

1:05:32

like, underwater zone? They wanted

1:05:34

to drown him. I think that's how we're telling you.

1:05:37

of drowning in that.

1:05:39

Alright. So let's just

1:05:41

fill the list with the ring no

1:05:43

song. Okay. So we don't matchbox. What number do you matchbox? off later. We

1:05:45

can always take them

1:05:47

off. Yeah. Yeah. So

1:05:49

you want matchbox twelve? Matchbox twelve?

1:05:52

Yeah.

1:05:52

Matchbox twenty. Matchbox.

1:05:53

Come on. No. Let's do that. Come

1:05:56

on. Yeah. So matchbox.

1:05:58

Yeah. But That doesn't make

1:05:59

any sense except it's

1:06:02

fine. And

1:06:02

then honey, don't you wanna

1:06:04

do nineteen

1:06:05

on that? Honey, don't? Yeah.

1:06:07

And honey, don't? Do

1:06:08

you like that? If you if I just said, I'm a

1:06:11

new song, I'm a new song, you know? You'd be like, that's

1:06:13

pretty cool. It's like, hey,

1:06:14

good

1:06:16

looking. Does John

1:06:19

does Ringo

1:06:20

have any songs on their first album?

1:06:22

Please, please, me. I'm pretty

1:06:23

sure he does.

1:06:25

I'm pretty sure you're wrong.

1:06:26

Oh, wow. Damn.

1:06:28

Out. I don't think it

1:06:29

boys. Boys. Yeah. It's boys. I'm pretty

1:06:31

sure sometimes the girl just

1:06:34

needs work. It is

1:06:36

a song. It is a

1:06:38

weird song because it's a girl group song

1:06:40

-- Yeah. -- that Ringo sings about

1:06:43

wanting boys. Wow. Well, here's where I come in.

1:06:45

Yeah. There we go. As the

1:06:48

resident queen.

1:06:50

Okay. It's good, honey

1:06:54

here. It's

1:06:55

very it's very

1:06:56

passe to be

1:06:59

gay. That could be nice. It could be

1:07:01

my new phrase. Right? Yeah. Yeah. Why would

1:07:03

we all get excited about this?

1:07:05

We're talking about

1:07:08

gay things. It's all I love too. I know. Come on. You

1:07:10

can't you can't rest on those laurels

1:07:12

anymore. We need more from you. I know.

1:07:14

Lots of the Beatles

1:07:15

were gay. don't

1:07:17

even joke. John was probably John

1:07:19

was probably Absolutely. That's why it's actually confirmed

1:07:22

or, like, you know,

1:07:23

you tried

1:07:26

to full

1:07:26

You didn't I the me.

1:08:42

of brushed over. Please please me because it doesn't have any Ringo

1:08:45

song. Mhmm. But I

1:08:47

would really like to

1:08:50

call out. I saw

1:08:53

her standing there

1:08:54

because it started off with

1:08:57

She

1:08:57

was just seventeen. Oh, and you

1:08:59

know what I mean?

1:09:00

And I

1:09:02

1:09:08

Yeah. Yeah. But, you know,

1:09:10

the guy the lads

1:09:15

They will let Well, they were, like,

1:09:16

nineteen. They will be a lead. They will

1:09:18

be a lead. When they wrote that, he was

1:09:20

probably nineteen,

1:09:22

nineteen. I'm giving him a pass on He

1:09:24

was if they made money

1:09:26

wrote it. Was he? No. I

1:09:30

don't know. Yeah. I I don't I I don't particularly

1:09:32

love that song anyways. No. It's it's

1:09:34

a but just a basic

1:09:36

blue

1:09:37

the

1:09:38

well, yeah, rock blues

1:09:40

song. But

1:09:41

it is never

1:09:43

Never.

1:09:43

Never. Never.

1:09:45

whoever the

1:09:48

Oh.

1:09:49

That's fun. That is fun. And it is the

1:09:51

song that kicks off the whole thing. Totally. It gets everyone going.

1:09:54

I think it's

1:09:57

No. Sorry. In fact, that's getting

1:09:59

on

1:09:59

number

1:10:01

one and

just wanna say

1:10:09

somebody's gonna nominate

1:10:12

Rocky Rocky And I

1:10:14

wanna stand up for that song because I think it's really, really funny. The Hardney

1:10:16

starts out with

1:10:19

that southern accent.

1:10:21

Yeah. They do a lot

1:10:24

of character work

1:10:26

in

1:10:27

their songs. Well,

1:10:29

I read this

1:10:31

little article about how if you look

1:10:33

at the white album as like a demented

1:10:35

children's album, it really makes a lot

1:10:38

of sense. Yeah. It's

1:10:39

listen to the songwriters. You know, it was

1:10:41

my favorite album as

1:10:42

a little kid. So, like, I don't

1:10:45

get that. Yeah. Yeah. Lots of duds on

1:10:47

it though, but definitely

1:10:49

travel. Oh, definitely. Biggies, are

1:10:51

we putting

1:10:51

biggies on the

1:10:53

list? Every word listen to

1:10:56

1:10:58

pickies. Yeah. speak

1:10:59

deeply unpleasant songs. It is. Yeah.

1:11:01

It's not fun. I mean, because it's, like, you

1:11:03

get an always Like, I get in this

1:11:06

political commentary, but it's just, like,

1:11:08

1:11:15

1:11:24

we're joining you, we're

1:15:59

we're apologizing now

1:16:02

for going offline for a moment as we discussed

1:16:04

the breaking news. We wanted to

1:16:06

get things as accurate

1:16:07

as possible. And just did

1:16:09

our own little reporting on

1:16:11

this. The news is, I

1:16:12

was under the impression that dinner reservation was for

1:16:14

nine fifteen. I was just told that their dinner reservation is four

1:16:16

nine, and the restaurant

1:16:18

is how many minutes away.

1:16:20

twelve to thirteen. Ten. That's no wrong. So John

1:16:22

and Claudia will have to leave a touch early to

1:16:26

secure the table. Yeah. then

1:16:28

I will be joining them. I'm not

1:16:40

Just come straight to

1:16:42

the restroom. Yeah. Yeah. Go right

1:16:44

to a toilet

1:16:45

It's such a nice toilet at

1:16:46

the restaurant. Mhmm. Alright. Moving on, guys. I'm III apologize, but the the doors are

1:16:48

locked. I just heard from

1:16:51

Brett Beaumont, who runs rubber

1:16:53

dog, the doors are locked until

1:16:55

-- Oh, no. -- when are we looking to us?

1:16:58

We have enough comedy in this room. We don't need

1:17:00

this. Unbelievable.

1:17:04

Everybody wants to play. You have

1:17:06

a caller

1:17:06

from Seattle. It's a paid attention.

1:17:10

See, real world.

1:17:11

See, Irene, the slap her

1:17:13

around the world. Right? Who

1:17:15

is this? I

1:17:18

am dead. I'm a big fan of Tim, John and Claudia,

1:17:20

all individually and

1:17:23

collectively. Rank them.

1:17:28

Oh, I think I know number one

1:17:30

of the the worst Beatles. Oh,

1:17:35

this is huge. the floor It's what's

1:17:38

New Mary James? I mean, it's gotta be. Right? Well,

1:17:40

this is controversy.

1:17:42

It is By

1:17:44

far, it

1:17:46

is by far

1:17:47

the worst piece of music that

1:17:49

the Beatles made. Okay. Are we including

1:17:51

it because it was only

1:17:55

released on the sort of anthology series. I don't think

1:17:57

it counts. I don't think

1:17:58

it counts. It

1:17:59

says clunky in that

1:18:02

very -- Fair enough. --

1:18:04

way. What's

1:18:04

the news? Mary Jane? Mary Jane at the

1:18:06

party? There's so much bad stuff on those anthologies.

1:18:11

Yeah. I I think we say one condition is no pathology because

1:18:13

then you're gonna get, like -- Okay. --

1:18:15

he has

1:18:17

he has a backup a backup.

1:18:19

What's the backup? I have

1:18:19

a backup because I thought that might be

1:18:21

a thing. I'm I'm gonna say revolution

1:18:24

number nine. It is cool at

1:18:26

the time. It's a fun heart thing,

1:18:28

but how often do you wanna, like,

1:18:30

sit through the whole track and listen to it? It it Is it a song, you know? I would

1:18:32

agree. It sucks. It's,

1:18:34

like,

1:18:34

if it also feels boring to,

1:18:38

like, join in

1:18:40

on any anti yoko stuff,

1:18:43

but I don't wanna listen

1:18:45

to it

1:18:46

hi ever. I This is a yoko kind

1:18:48

of This is, like, an experimental yoko

1:18:50

try with

1:18:50

the white album. It's about nine

1:18:54

minutes long. Nine? number nine. Number nine? You

1:18:55

might love it, John. Number nine. Thanks.

1:18:58

I think it's I think

1:19:00

it's

1:19:01

very cool. It's cool. It's

1:19:03

it fits nicely where it is on that

1:19:05

album. It makes sense in the

1:19:07

in the shape of in, like,

1:19:09

if you are, like, looking at that album,

1:19:11

it's part of the album. Yeah. But

1:19:12

also, I will skip it.

1:19:13

I am the arbiter

1:19:15

and judge jury executioner of this

1:19:17

list. It's not going on

1:19:19

the list. Wow. at this
