2:35

said you had a special way to begin

2:37

tonight's Joe, I do, I

2:39

do, um I have. Uh.

2:43

You know, I just thought that it's

2:45

excited, you know, I'm excited for all of us

2:47

to be together. And uh,

2:49

I just thought if you'd all join me

2:52

in the Pledge of Allegiance, uh,

2:56

which I wrote down from memory

2:59

before I came out here. So

3:03

I'd like to lead us all in the

3:05

Pledge of Allegiance. You

3:08

can join in if you'd like, Okay, I

3:11

I fledge allegiance, Allegiance

3:15

to the flag, to the flag of

3:17

the United States, of the

3:19

United States, for which it states

3:21

it stands. Please

3:24

don't laugh. Majestic, glorious,

3:26

glorious, gallantly

3:29

flapping in the wind, gallantly flapping

3:31

in the wind, red,

3:33

red, white, and

3:36

blue and blue rockets,

3:38

red glare rockets, red glare

3:41

bombs, bursting in air, bursting

3:44

in air. Where the buffalo room, where

3:46

the buffalo rome, and the people

3:49

are free, and the people are free.

4:00

Thank you. That was That was patriotic,

4:03

and I think it. Uh, it's a unifying

4:05

experience to say, the

4:07

pledge of allegiance. Okay, so what have you

4:10

been listening to? What have you been watching?

4:13

Let's see lately I've been listening. I've been

4:16

listening a lot to the Doors. I'm

4:19

a big doors guy. In fact, there's

4:21

a great, great

4:23

cover band that I've seen here many a time

4:25

called the Doors spelled

4:29

with a Z. And

4:32

I remember when I first sat on the marquet as I go, all

4:34

right, all right, all

4:36

right, I've

4:42

been listening a lot to The Only thing is who's

4:44

the who's the keyboardist?

4:48

Raymond's Eric? I believe? Is that? Is

4:50

that correct? Raymond's Eric Riders

4:53

on the Storm, Riders of the Storm,

4:55

Riders on the Storm. Yes, that

5:01

little organ solo though it

5:04

goes on way too long. What

5:06

does it sound like? And it's a little rambly.

5:09

I think he loses the thread.

5:15

It's something like that, and uh,

5:17

it just drifts and it drifts,

5:20

and I'm just surprised the

5:22

guys didn't go, let's just cut it down. But

5:27

you know, they were all, you know, let's give

5:29

him a shot taking blueberries and you

5:32

know, little little

5:34

black beauties and ludes,

5:38

a lot of ludes, and

5:40

they probably like, we're good. Keep the

5:43

thing though, that I'm really been spending

5:45

a lot of time watching is Temptation

5:48

Island. Is

5:51

that like Love Island? It's like, well

5:53

it wait, what is Love Island?

5:57

I described Temptation first. Temptation

6:02

Island are a bunch of couples who

6:05

go on a beautiful island and

6:08

they see if it's a test for their

6:10

relationship. And

6:12

it's hosted by Mark Wahlberg. And

6:18

I remember watching it, and I know someone

6:21

very closely who's done a number of movies

6:23

with Mark Mark Walburg. It's not

6:25

the same Mark Wahlberg. It's just a guy named

6:27

Mark. It's a guy named Mark Wallberg,

6:30

a nondescript guy with dyed

6:33

hair and no muscles named Mark Walburg,

6:38

and he hosts Temptation

6:40

Island and the couples come on

6:42

and they, you know, they say, oh, I can't

6:44

wait to go on this journey. Let's see if our

6:47

love last. And then another

6:49

element comes in, either a hot guy

6:51

or girl, and some

6:54

of them break up, some of them don't. Uh.

6:57

I know that, and that's that's the

6:59

base a game plan. I

7:02

know that if I was on Temptation and and be like, look,

7:04

I'm gonna be honest, I'm leaving you in

7:06

a second. You

7:10

like temptation, Temptation, it's over, It's

7:12

there's been no tempting. I mean they'll be there

7:14

will be no wait. So

7:16

much temptation, so much temptation that

7:19

you're a goner. Yeah, but

7:24

love, I believe. I believe Love Island. Yeah,

7:26

there's an American version and a British version.

7:28

Love Island is very similar to Believe, right.

7:31

Yeah, the people go on an islands, more people

7:33

come in, and you just stay coupled up

7:35

to stay on shore. The

7:37

big difference though, is it's British

7:40

and they talk like this they do. They

7:43

talk like, you know. The key

7:45

to a British excit's just to keep

7:47

your mount out, take

7:50

the mountain out, and don't don't

7:52

a nuncy. Okay

7:55

that I

7:57

know the pig gay blind does. Yes,

8:00

Yes, that was kind of good. That's

8:02

really good. Yes, let's

8:05

sear it you Carolina, though you're very

8:07

good at accents. I'm yeah,

8:09

I guess I have the acting bug.

8:13

Do you do you have a New York accent? Um?

8:15

Yeah, I mean I studied a little bit,

8:17

so I guess New York has talked like

8:20

this. Yeah. Oh my god,

8:22

I feel like I'm on the six, four, five or six

8:25

train four six.

8:32

Are you guys familiar with the four or five or six? It's

8:35

on the east side

8:39

this side. Okay,

8:42

that's that's really authentic. Yeah,

8:45

I guess I should go into act

8:49

whatever voice acting? Okay, Oh,

8:52

why did you change it to voice acting?

8:55

Because I said acting, I

8:58

changed it to voice act ding and I

9:02

I don't think this. Well,

9:04

this isn't the time or places to why

9:07

to explain to you as to why I changed it the voice

9:09

acting. It's for your benefit. You're

9:12

a perfectly fine looking person. It's

9:16

worse it's making it worse. Look,

9:18

if I was sitting next to you on the four or

9:20

five or six train, would

9:23

I turn my head? Possibly not, you

9:27

said, I don't even know if I notice

9:29

you, if you spoke

9:31

with a British accent um?

9:35

Are your apples? Well?

9:37

Hello? Nice

9:39

to Okay?

9:43

Are you apple? Guess

9:45

I can put a spell on men

9:47

like my pench for what apple?

9:51

My mother gonna take your father?

9:55

I want apple? I want me apple.

9:59

Okay, we gotta get on this down.

10:02

Someone writing this down. Yes,

10:08

that's what's great. Uh. We've been

10:10

doing these podcasts live and

10:13

and it's recorded and will

10:15

be put out in I still don't understand

10:17

the process. Apparently

10:19

they mail cassette tapes to everyone. I

10:21

don't know, but everyone

10:25

here tonight six months

10:27

to four months from now, is

10:32

this again? And say I was there

10:34

when they said that, And

10:36

they'll be like, I recognize that

10:39

voice. That's the famous voice

10:41

actor Carolina.

10:45

But these things are a treasure show because

10:47

we'll listen. We'll listen to them

10:49

again down the road and be like, oh my

10:51

god, that's a sitcom. Idea, that's a feature

10:53

league movie. Maybe

10:55

that's a short film. Oh, maybe that's a

10:57

limited series. I

11:03

love talking about the biziness. You love the business?

11:05

Well, this is your favorite time of year. It

11:07

is awards season, starts

11:10

celebrating July. Didn't

11:12

want to watch the Critics Choice Awards by any

11:14

chance that

11:17

blue?

11:21

No. Yes, it

11:23

looked like some cheap hotail down and van

11:26

eyes and with

11:29

some bad, stinky hummus on every

11:31

table. People

11:34

just eating them with their fingers because they're starving.

11:36

They just get you give them a little bowl full of us.

11:40

It wasn't like a big salad bowlful of It

11:42

was a nut bowl full of humus. I

11:48

saw a couple of rats run on stage. Are you

11:50

serious? They're

11:52

still getting their act together. We

11:58

are working on a phrase of the

12:00

day, so we've actually spent hours

12:02

over this one. And if you don't like it, I'm

12:05

sorry. It's our phrase for this show. But

12:07

I was hoping if you know, I don't

12:09

mind indulging whenever I hold this up, if

12:11

you don't mind saying fun and

12:14

maybe like a little bit like, um, you

12:16

know your friend just got a new haircut, fun

12:20

um or someone invited you to do something

12:22

and you're like, I'm gonna skip work. Fun

12:25

Okay, so maybe maybe in a British accent.

12:28

Fun. Well,

12:31

that kind of sounded like phone

12:35

phone we

12:38

Um, I actually don't

12:41

know who the guest is tonight. I enjoy

12:43

going into public places. I gotta admit,

12:48

Do we have a guest? I enjoy going into

12:50

public places. It's

12:52

one of the things I do. And

12:55

I'll sit and I'll just yell

12:57

out nouns at the top of my lung.

13:02

Phone or

13:06

go back to my cup of coffee. Apricott,

13:13

little insight into the way my mind works.

13:19

Um, we have got such

13:22

an exciting guest tonight. All I know

13:24

is that you told me to tell a

13:27

p a yes, that you had a friend

13:29

outside the stage door who

13:32

needed help getting in. We needed some help getting

13:34

13:37

a dear dear friend

13:39

13:42

the jingle business. Um.

13:45

You are all familiar with commercial jingles

13:47

and uh, this guy.

13:49

13:51

probably done it. And

13:54

16:06

medium. Yeah, and there are very

16:08

few of them out there, so it's,

16:51

like to have a little sip. Sure

16:58

For those of you listening, Oh, I'm pouring a very generous

17:00

five fingers of Scotch for my

17:04

good friend, and

17:07

I might have a little myself. Carolina,

17:11

Okay, okay, here we go.

don't want to waste it? No,

17:33

17:42

farting in your car and wait home. Sorry,

17:45

I don't mean to do when I get around.

17:48

You're wild, Okay, Lonnie,

17:52

I see you got your signature cowboy boots.

17:56

You can't believe you told everyone I needed help

17:58

getting me in. That's embarrassed. Well

18:02

I did. I didn't notice. I do have a

18:04

bad wheel. I'm bad. You know. I've

18:07

been doing a lot of physical therapy and I'm feeling real

18:09

good. Is that going? I'm actually feeling much better right

18:11

now. Yeah. Do you rub any

18:13

ointments or liniments on that? You

18:15

know? I do? I use a special uh

18:19

combination. You go a little paprika,

18:21

a little mayo, a little Earl

18:24

Gray tea. You mix that up

18:26

with a little bitches brew, and then

18:28

you just rub it right on the affected area

18:31

two or three times a day, and

18:34

that seems to do the trick. I gotta get that down.

18:37

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do

18:39

you need to elevate it all? No? No,

18:41

I'm great, I'm great. You

18:57

know what, Lonnie? The other day I was thinking about the tie

19:00

him. Yeah, you and I

19:03

drove all the way down to

19:05

the tip of Baja California,

19:09

took a photo and

19:11

drove all the way back. We did.

19:16

We wanted to go just to the tip. Yeah,

19:21

and we had t shirts made that said

19:23

we went to the tip, just to the tip. We've

19:27

been to the tip. We

19:31

we had a serious man.

19:35

Then we did go to the tip. If you dare

19:38

yea Baja California. It's a

19:40

long ride. And then the

19:43

Chamber of Commerce of Baja California hired

19:45

us to UH to do an ad campaign for him

19:47

to promote tourism down to It

19:52

was like when you want to go south

19:55

and you want to go far, and you

19:57

go to the tip and you go to

19:59

a are you're gonna have

20:01

fun when you go to the depth of

20:04

Mexico California.

20:08

Yes, that was I can't believe

20:10

you pulled that one out. Yeah, I'll

20:13

never forget that one, one

20:18

of the better ones. And we got pulled over by

20:20

the Federal alleys and you know you're alway supposed

20:22

to carry you put twenty dollars in your in your

20:25

overhead dash right because

20:27

you know, grease a couple, grease a

20:29

couple to get your way out of and we didn't

20:31

have We had blown our money on

20:34

to cute and rockets.

20:36

Had a little bottle rocket, that's the bottle

20:39

rockets. And we

20:41

had a little bottle rocket wore on the beach at night

20:43

20:51

20:55

We lit him once, which I don't recommend,

20:58

and I shot right at you and I

21:00

couldn't even see it until it exploded,

21:02

21:04

frame of you, and and that

21:06

21:26

and they went which is a gun? And

21:31

21:41

the world bends to your will. Always

21:46

works times out of a hundred,

the no, I have not. I have

22:08

not had a chance because I believe they're fourteen,

22:10

fifteen and sixteen, right, yeah, they've been around.

22:12

Well yeah, three of

22:15

them actually live at the tip. Okay,

22:18

but that's right, because you bought a time share down at

22:20

the tip. That's right. Um

22:22

got a sweetheart of a deal on the time

22:24

share. There's Damien, there's

22:27

Fat, there's Leonard Dudley,

22:30

there's Dudley, Connie

22:32

Yes, and Samantha.

22:35

Yes. That's all of them,

22:37

and in a lot of ways it is like a Brady's

22:40

bunch, you know. Oh, we're

22:43

half of them from a different family originally the

22:45

story

22:53

and uh, we just lived all together

22:55

in harmony. That's the way.

23:00

There's no other way. I've

23:02

tried to live outside of harmony,

23:05

and it's not as advantageous. It's

23:07

better to live in harmony.

23:10

It's all about family. It really

23:12

is all about family. If there's one

23:14

thing you take with you tonight, it's

23:17

all about family. Bloi.

23:25

You had a band in college, did

23:27

a little research called

23:30

Moby Trick? I did? I had

23:32

Moby mob Trick? Did you? Did

23:34

you guys make it at all? I'm forgetting.

23:36

No, we were not good. It was

23:39

before I really found my my voice,

23:41

you know. And uh we

23:43

we we were big fans of Cheap Trick and

23:45

uh the drum solo from led

23:48

Zeppelin Moby Dick and

23:51

so you know, it's a really good

23:56

But now it was just you and five guys

23:58

on base, right, there's no there instance,

24:00

that's right, great

24:04

one of your shows and you got your with your catchers,

24:06

like let's get into the belly of the whale. Yeah.

24:11

Yeah, it was just a lot of base exciting

24:13

at first. It's

24:16

a little Raymond z Eric time, We're like wrap

24:18

it up here it goes, yes,

24:21

and that you could feel the vibrations deep

24:23

down below. But yeah, it didn't

24:25

really capture the imagination. And I don't blame

24:27

the audience for hating our deaths because we were pretty

24:30

bad. But

24:33

we had fun and that's all that really

24:35

mattered. Beck and ye yeah, live and learn,

24:37

right, And then you tried your head in Broadway.

24:40

I did. I did.

24:42

I wrote a play, uh

24:45

called Leonard

24:48

and what the hell was that? Called Leonard's

24:50

Whispers and it

24:52

was about a kid named Leonard

24:55

who heard voices and it

24:57

was very dark music

25:00

all about about you know, the inner workings

25:02

of this child's mind. If you ever get

25:04

a chance to see a revival of

25:07

Leonard's Whispers. But I gotta

25:09

say run it, don't

25:12

walk. It is a tough, tough

25:14

world. It is a tough world

25:16

Broadway. It is so competitive.

25:19

There are so many well,

25:21

there's so many people chasing a dream.

25:23

Backbiters, backbit

25:26

give us more. And

25:28

at the end of the day, it came down

25:30

it's gonna beat Leonard's Whispers

25:33

or Cats. And we didn't, you

25:36

know, it was like who you know? Yeah,

25:39

and I didn't know the right

25:45

But that's what's his

25:48

name? From Cats? Who's that guy? Lendrew

25:50

Lloyd Webber? Yes, you

25:52

know, he just knew how to play the game. Well

25:56

he he didn't. Everyone

25:58

knew he. It wasn't about his talent because he didn't

26:00

have any how to

26:02

play the game, politics, politics,

26:05

how to work that did he? Ever?

26:07

So anyway, I left Broadway in

26:10

shame and tatters and

26:12

I spent my unless you gave it a shot, I

26:14

did, And you know what, I was proud of the work and

26:17

I wouldn't change a thing about it, you

26:20

know, I was so I loved it with

26:22

all my heart because it was my baby, and

26:26

I learned so much

26:29

from the failure. It was like, whoa

26:33

and I you know, you know,

26:35

I believe and I'm starting to steal your thunder

26:38

the young boy at that time who original

26:40

cast a young Matthew Broderick.

26:43

Yes, and you know

26:45

it's it hurts when I see he

26:48

in his bio. He doesn't even mention it.

26:50

He leaves it off all the time. And

26:52

I did. I left the message when I was like, I came

26:54

to see you in the one of them

26:57

plays and I saw in the bio you didn't

26:59

meagine Leonards this bird. I

27:01

would I would never write

27:03

my own bio and not mentioning Leonards

27:06

whispers, and I just like, you know what it hurt.

27:08

But I didn't. You know, he didn't.

27:11

He never. I don't even know if that was really

27:13

his phone number he gave me. You

27:16

might have been talking to someone else, but

27:19

uh, I like to think that he took

27:21

a little piece of magic from that production

27:23

and took that straight into the rest of his career.

27:27

But I don't really know. I haven't talked to him. I haven't

27:29

talked to himself as a friend.

27:31

Yeah, if I run into broad Wreck,

27:34

yeah, I'm gonna bring it up. Hey, thank you.

27:36

This whole thing is taking a very dark

27:38

turn. I'm on a bad wheel. We

27:41

talked about my band that nobody

27:44

liked, cheap

27:47

Trick, movie trick.

27:49

We talk about my Broadway failures. Go to

27:51

the next question. Hopefully it'll be something

27:53

good about this

27:56

is very painful. It's the whole thing. I

28:00

gonna trip down. She did never relate.

28:06

I did not mean it to go that

28:08

way, because you're one of my dear friends.

28:11

And I

28:12

I really brought

28:14

it up because I loved Leonards Whispers.

28:17

And uh

28:20

so after that, you traveled for a while.

28:22

I know that had traveled up and down

28:24

the Eastern Seaboard. I did spend

28:26

a lot of time down in the Bayou,

28:30

some town up in some time up in Motown. I

28:32

went to the far East. To the far East is what

28:34

you lived in a tree extensively

28:38

for a long time. I lived in there, and it said,

28:40

don't do it. Don't do it, Lenny, what

28:42

are you doing? And I said, Lanny,

28:44

it's not Lenny. And then and

28:46

then and then they let me be in that tree.

28:48

And it was like a treehouse that

28:51

I built myself. And I lived

28:53

up there for a good long time, and I learned a lot of

28:55

things up there. It

28:58

was just you by yourself, right. It was

29:00

a long time of contemplation and

29:03

just sort of getting back to the roots, you know.

29:05

And this wasn't like a big sequoia

29:07

or redwood, I recall, it was only

29:09

like a ten ft eucalyptus. That's

29:12

right.

29:14

No, it wasn't about the height, That's

29:17

what it was. Sparsely, the

29:20

very sparse coverage of leaves

29:22

just right. You

29:25

had ram shackled some plot piece of

29:27

supply wood, made a very

29:30

rickety not to code platform

29:34

with an air mattress about

29:37

ten feet off the ground that a dish

29:39

didn't sunk to literally six ft off the

29:41

ground. I wanted to be closer

29:44

to the roots, you know. And

29:47

then you woke up in the middle of the night and

29:50

the tree was on fire, and that you

29:53

told me that was a sign

29:56

down from the tree. It was time to come

29:58

down from the tree, and spread had

30:00

the gospel of my learnings.

30:03

And so you banged around some more. You taught

30:05

high school soccer, uh you

30:11

were. You

30:15

taught high school soccer at

30:19

that time. There was a lot of people doing that. And

30:24

then you started a little company called

30:26

Intel. Yeah, yep,

30:29

I made a lot of money on Intel.

30:32

Uh I went with a different name

30:36

because I didn't want to you know, all

30:39

that credit, but I did. I

30:41

came up with that idea and uh,

30:43

I surprised if that's what I thought about when I was up in

30:45

that tree, Like what what what would

30:48

it be like to create a new company called Intel.

30:52

I know everything about that company,

30:54

and it's

31:00

short for Intelligence. What

31:06

I remember is what you told I don't you

31:10

told me, and

31:12

I do. I don't do you justice, but you said,

31:15

you said, Ron, I

31:19

want to start a company called Intel.

31:22

I don't care what the hell they do, who

31:25

I hire. But

31:27

I just got a feeling in my gut as

31:32

as true as the sun rising

31:34

on Easter Sunday, that this

31:36

thing is gonna take off. And

31:39

you stuck to your guns, and Intel became

31:41

a major company that

31:44

does things right. That's

31:46

right with computer chips. That's

31:48

what you do right, that's right, computer

31:51

chips. Yes, I'm glad

31:53

you brought that up. What it is

31:57

when you get downtown to the micro

31:59

process nuts and bolt, it's

32:02

really just about getting real small. Because

32:06

you remember back in the seventies,

32:11

fill up

32:13

the sun side of the stage and

32:15

and bubble bubble cards. And

32:18

I thought, you know, enough with this, let's

32:20

bring it down any

32:22

I don't want to talk about that anymore. Let's

32:28

get off that subject, and let's get onto the subject

32:30

of why you're here. And then you find

32:32

yourself in the jingle game. And

32:37

and I assume a talent agent found

32:39

you a true calling. Yes, that

32:42

was. That was I

32:45

just realized, you know, when

32:47

we're talking about Intel getting things small, you can

32:49

tell the whole story in four or

32:51

five seconds. Why not do that? And

32:54

you deliver deliver that magical

32:56

musical punch, you know, litt quitt rabbit

32:59

fund and

33:01

And and when I when I heard them on the

33:03

radio and on the TV, other people's jingles,

33:06

I just said, oh god, I wish I could do that.

33:08

And then I look at the mirror, and I said, why

33:10

can't you, Why don't you just do

33:12

it? Just do it. You want to make a jingle, make a jingle.

33:14

Hell, you lived in a tree for a year and a half. Just

33:16

do it, right, that's right. And the weird

33:19

thing was, I'd been making jingles my

33:21

whole life leading up and you didn't even know

33:23

it, and I didn't know. So

33:26

it was as though I had been preparing my

33:28

whole life to become this jingle man,

33:30

and you finally found your calling. And I believe

33:32

the first jingle you ever

33:34

recorded was for an airline,

33:38

Princeton Air and

33:40

U do you recall? Could you sing? You want

33:42

me to do? I'd love to hear sorry,

33:46

Oh,

33:48

I'd love to hear Princeton understand

33:51

as an airline in the seventies, Come

33:56

sail the skies and Princeton Air

33:59

we lived to servant. Take

34:01

you there there to

34:03

dream. The world is yours.

34:06

We opper upper world, Well

34:08

up yours. We can buy

34:10

you anywhere within the Antelope

34:14

Valley. Yes, And

34:24

I knew nothing about Antelope

34:26

Air. Princes are I'm sorry,

34:29

prince? And then I heard the jingle. I'm like, I gotta

34:31

check this out. And I used to fly it all

34:33

the time, up and down, up and

34:35

down. You wouldn't You never needed

34:37

to drive around the Antelope Valley again because

34:39

you just take a quicker show, quick down.

34:42

A lot of times the planes never left

34:44

the ground. They just used the freeway.

34:48

It was

34:50

just runaway. But it's it

34:53

felt like you're going somewhere. You know. I

34:58

could never finished my you because by the

35:00

time they put it in front of you. It was like, oh,

35:03

we're landing. But

35:05

there were times when you really made

35:07

fast time during rush hour traffic. Absolutely

35:10

and you and if you didn't take an a little

35:12

bear, you'd be driving to be stuck in that prison.

35:15

He stuck in that a little traffic.

35:17

And I

35:20

wish I was on that right now. Because they flew

35:22

super low. For minute flight, you can only

35:25

get about about

35:27

seven ft off the ground. Yeah,

35:31

they'd buzz right over you. Fun

35:33

pilots, pilots who had never flown before.

35:36

And that was that. They were just

35:38

like, here we go, let's see

35:40

what happens. Oh

35:46

and that that there,

35:49

remember that? Remember that

35:52

the potato the potato chip. Oh yeah, chippitty

35:54

chip. Give

35:58

us a little chipp ety chip. The chippy

36:00

his chimp for eddie tip, his

36:03

chippity chip. You're gonna flip

36:05

when the chippity chip gets past

36:07

your lip. It's a hip chip.

36:10

You can nap a skip the chippy

36:12

chip. It's a total group chip. Who

36:15

walk or run or take a rocket

36:17

chip? You're not back up? Chip

36:20

about it? Chips now,

36:29

chipp any chip? Uh.

36:31

That product didn't last very long,

36:34

no, because they found

36:37

chipped baby teeth in the bag chippy

36:39

chip that ruined it. That that kind of ruined

36:41

its pineapple,

36:45

salsa, pineapple saucer, lemonade,

36:48

barbecue, so many flavors. Yep, asparagus

36:51

and cream that was. That was my

36:53

favorite asparagus and cream chip

36:55

flavored chip. And you know the thing

36:57

was it wasn't the song

37:00

was was not the problem, not at

37:02

all. It was the baby teeth that sends that

37:04

company down. But you know what,

37:07

that's not of my concern. You just

37:09

hired me to make sure there's no baby. You're

37:11

hired me to sing it. You're not in charge of Oh

37:29

my god, do you remember that one

37:31

I did for? Uh?

37:34

Can I just I'm just gonna sing this next

37:36

one? Okay? Oh and let me see if I can remember

37:39

what and see if you can remember what the product is. Oh,

37:42

this one? I did this one in England. This

37:44

was English. Yea.

37:47

This one was for an English product as

37:52

a sad and something in the air.

37:55

You can feel it when you rise. It's a

37:57

brand new start with every day

38:00

from the moment you open your eyes

38:04

wake up feeling shoundly

38:06

free with a cop of James

38:09

Tolliver in

38:12

English tea. James

38:16

Tolliver English say that

38:23

then that tea had arsenic in it. That's

38:25

right. Yes, I don't think I helped

38:27

the product. I don't think I helped sales. I

38:29

wouldn't say that it was because the

38:32

English accent wasn't really in my wheelhouse.

38:35

I'm surprised you didn't push back and say, can I

38:37

just give you one and with you know, the regular

38:41

Lanny pipes. I'm a pleaser. I just

38:43

wanted to give him what I thought they wanted. And

38:45

uh, anyway, yeah, that tea company went

38:47

under fast. Arsenic

38:49

and one of the worst jingles of all times. I

38:52

don't even know why I volunteered to sing that one.

38:54

To be honest with you, Well, you're

38:56

you know, at that time, you're in your career,

38:58

you're building a reputation. Just I'm

39:00

sure you just get the call and like it's

39:03

a fun trip to jolly old England,

39:06

free trip to go to exactly

39:08

I wanted to. I wanted to walk the River Thames.

39:10

I wanted to experience England and

39:13

all its gold glory. And

39:15

I think they pronounced it the famous the

39:17

things, the things, river things.

39:27

I'll go punching all the time now

39:32

that all

39:34

the time. Do

39:38

you know that time.

39:41

Now we're in the sweet spot. Wow,

39:45

that's really good. Um can

39:47

I can I do like three or four of seven

39:49

more and then I'll be on my way. Yes,

39:53

this one is from one called jam Or. Its

39:56

amalgamated good fixtures, a

40:00

very popular product in

40:03

this world. There's a heck of a lot

40:06

of choices you can

40:08

make. It's up to

40:10

you and your clients that

40:12

you don't make a stay. A

40:15

bad decision can ruin your

40:18

company and you can't lose your

40:20

shirt. It's the same old

40:22

story when a businessman ends

40:25

up in the dirt jabber.

40:28

It's a Maga Maga daughter fixers

40:30

and mountain mount Yes,

40:35

well, thank you. Now

40:40

I still have stock in

40:42

generates. It's

40:45

a steady, steady, steady

40:47

as you go, slow and steady

40:50

and one hell of a one hell of a jingle.

40:53

That jingle was taped. As

40:55

as I went on in my career of jingles,

40:57

I found myself reaching deeper into the

40:59

nook and crannies of the of the subtleties

41:02

of the jingle, and they just got better

41:04

in bed right. If I recall, you did

41:06

thousands of radio spots too. I did a

41:08

lot of radio spots. Oh yeah, yeahm

41:12

um, remember KRUC k

41:14

R O k R O C K and Davenport

41:17

yep, k Rock Davenport. Yeah

41:20

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, I remember.

41:22

I remember k Rock

41:24

Davenport. Quad said he's turned

41:26

it up. I turned it up because

41:29

the rock is alive. K Rock Davenport

41:32

for y'all more didn't drive WSLB.

41:36

Yeah yeah, you keep on going to the next

41:40

you. My

41:42

memory works, your memory. I

41:45

I do the same way. I

41:48

do the exact same thing. I'm getting

41:50

hot. Is anyone else getting hot? Well?

41:53

You got your leather friends jacket on. Um.

41:57

Yeah, So they would they

42:00

and they would play that. It's not really

42:03

like a tight radio spot. I mean it's a good

42:05

twelve seconds. Look. I

42:07

started to get really long in my

42:09

jingles. Yeah, and in fact,

42:11

they started to become like full on songs.

42:13

But you had leverage at that point, and you were like, if

42:15

you want me, you gotta give me the full you

42:18

gotta let me give a whole beginning,

42:20

middle of an end. I gotta tell a story with

42:23

these jingles. And I'm feeling constrained by

42:25

the tightness, so so so so check out

42:27

this next one I did. This one

42:29

was for an adult contemporary wus

42:33

be adult contemporary,

42:36

mellow as the morning. Do we

42:39

play the music that's all right for you?

42:42

From Holland Notes to Selene

42:44

Beyond, turn us into get

42:46

your groove on ws

42:49

LB adult contemporary.

42:53

You know, right

42:56

now, I'm realizing

42:59

that I should have sung that jingle

43:01

more as an adult contemporary

43:03

style because it sounded

43:05

more classic rock when I was it did,

43:08

but I think that's why it was so effective,

43:10

because people were, you know, thinking

43:12

they, oh, this is contemporary, but I love the

43:16

tone and the tenor of this guy's voice. Well,

43:18

and I wonder if they play more than just adult

43:21

contemporary. Yeah,

43:24

I think it made it. I think it made the station intriguing.

43:27

It did it did? I'm

43:30

just saying things right now. You

43:36

know, I

43:38

always thought jingles were my main

43:40

thing, but now I'm realizing, ron I'm

43:43

very bad at it. Don't

43:46

say that. Don't say that I'm one of the

43:48

worst jinglers ever. No

43:50

no, no, no no. My

43:53

whole life has been a sham. Okay,

43:56

okay, let's pull this so

44:01

okay. D

44:09

45:20

45:23

jakins everyone,

45:28

Oh

45:35

my god, Landy. You

45:39

know, it's

45:42

a real insight into the jingle business.

45:45

Was a wild rise. He's

45:47

a he is a complicated individual.

45:51

Uh, he

45:54

said, he was the d D. Nothing

45:58

we can do now, yeah,

46:03

got to finish the show. Except

46:08

finished the show right, Well,

46:12

that was fascinating, It really

46:14

was. I

46:23

don't know what to say. Lanny

46:26

drink a lot of my Scotch though, he

46:29

owes me. God, he drank

46:31

five dollars in scott I

46:35

only buy fifteen scotch. Carolina

46:41

I'd like to, of course, in tonight with something I like

46:43

to call my take. It's

46:49

my thing. Yes,

46:51

you can go, it's

46:53

my take. Yes,

46:58

thank you for that. This

47:03

week marked the beginning of Senate

47:06

confirmation hearings of Judge Katangi

47:08

Brown Jackson, and

47:12

while the questioning will be rigorous,

47:15

it is believed that there will be enough votes for

47:17

confirmation, thus naming

47:19

her as our first black female

47:22

Supreme Court justice.

47:28

Now, this country can be a little three

47:31

steps forward and two steps

47:33

back at times, but this

47:35

would be a groundbreaking achievement.

47:38

And isn't that what America needs to do again?

47:41

Lead the world by example, empowering

47:44

not just women, but all marginalized

47:46

people. In the famous

47:48

words of Alexander Hamilton's

47:50

our first black politician, my

47:55

name is Alexander Hamilton's

47:59

there's a man million things I haven't

48:01

done. Just you

48:03

wait, just you wait.

48:09

Well, the way it is over, Alexander Hamilton's

48:12

disappointment would mean so much

48:14

for me, and not because I'm

48:17

black. I'm

48:19

not black. Even though I've been

48:21

asked to host the Soul Train Awards seventeen

48:23

times. Don

48:25

Cornelius and I were roommates at the University

48:27

of ioland I

48:32

was flattered, but it never felt appropriate.

48:36

Disappointment resonates with me because

48:38

I've always dreamed of being a Supreme

48:40

Court justice. In

48:42

fact, I've gone through the confirmation process twenty

48:45

two times now.

48:48

It's not in the big room with all the TV cameras.

48:50

It's it's usually in a side room behind

48:52

closed doors, and only a handful of senators

48:54

show up. Last time, it was only

48:57

Diane Feinstein, and she

48:59

said said, oh it's you again. We

49:03

laughed and talked. I

49:05

happened to have brought a bottle of rose with

49:07

me, She said playfully.

49:10

I can't, but

49:13

what the hell You're

49:15

never getting confirmed anyway? We

49:17

laughed again. I

49:20

suddenly turned away to wipe a tear off

49:22

my cheek because that wasn't stunk.

49:30

I had brought a chuck MANGIONI c D and

49:33

asked her if there was a sound system that we

49:35

could play this on. She said,

49:37

give me a sec and left. I

49:40

waited for what felt like twenty minutes, and then

49:42

I heard

49:58

the senator returned in a slight revealing

50:00

evening gown, took

50:04

my hand and we started to dance. You're

50:07

out of order, she said, okay,

50:12

I said, I

50:16

object if you don't try and

50:18

kiss me. She said, okay,

50:22

I said, I will

50:24

hold you in contempt if

50:26

you don't make a move. She then said

50:30

Finally, I stopped dancing, and I asked, what the

50:32

hell is going on? Is

50:35

this an episode of law and order? I

50:37

don't follow. The

50:40

senator said she was making anu indo with court

50:42

references. Oh

50:45

right, I

50:47

bluffed, pretending like I knew what innuendo

50:50

meant. I

50:53

didn't. I now know that

50:55

innuendo is a form of Brazilian music.

51:03

Anyway, the song ended and we realized it

51:05

was two am. We'd been there for fourteen

51:08

hours, but it only it only

51:10

felt like twelve. I'm

51:13

not going to talk about what happened between us.

51:15

Gentlemen never kiss and tell. Suffice

51:18

to say, Diane Feinstein's no

51:20

prude. It

51:23

takes a fairly adventurous woman to teach

51:25

ron Burgundy a thing or two about love

51:27

making, and that night I

51:29

was the student. Anyway.

51:39

She gathered her various briefcases and

51:41

overhead projector, turned

51:44

and headed for the door, but then stopped

51:47

and said, this time I

51:49

would have voted for you, Mr Burgundy.

51:52

I had my back to her, bursting with pride.

51:54

And I screamed, may I approached the bench,

51:59

But just like that, she was going. That's

52:02

as close as I ever got to be in considered for

52:04

the highest court in the land. But who

52:07

am I kidding? I never went to law school, even

52:10

though I read law books for pleasure and

52:14

for the honorable Judge Jackson. If

52:16

you happen to be listening to this, you probably

52:19

are. Just know

52:21

that, no matter how frustrating the vetting

52:24

process, maybe it's

52:26

there for a reason so

52:28

assholes can score political points

52:30

in front of a room full of assholes.

52:34

I'm Ron Burgundy and

52:39

that's my take. Fuck

52:50

us so funny. We tried us

52:53

like a plank to younger feel

52:56

so we never get come back. He took

53:00

a couple up while

53:03

I was standing. He says it every night

53:05

stand, which because everybody knows he's the

53:07

Burguzy banded Ron
