00:02:28   of like when you used to get on a phone [TS]

00:02:32   delay I like a little bit like a slap [TS]

00:02:34   back [TS]

00:02:35   it's just that means just a little too [TS]

00:02:37   much slapback and it's distracting did [TS]

00:02:55   ridiculous [TS]

00:02:57   I don't know a lot of people were gone [TS]

00:03:00   there right there are certain things [TS]

00:03:01   that I feel like it are generational [TS]

00:03:05   things that are just that I'm just like [TS]

00:03:07   two years too old for a brother you know [TS]

00:03:13   like send me the story of my life [TS]

00:03:14   brother [TS]

00:03:15   yeah if you were if you graduated in the [TS]

00:03:17   class of 1988 that meant that in [TS]

00:03:21   nineteen eighty-four you were just young [TS]

00:03:23   enough to feel like God was a reasonable [TS]

00:03:26   choice you might you know get somewhat [TS]

00:03:29   cocteau twins you get some dead can [TS]

00:03:31   dance you get some what's the bauhaus [TS]

00:03:33   bauhaus sounds bauhaus was you know [TS]

00:03:36   there's a lot of those bands they got [TS]

00:03:38   lumped in that were actually pretty good [TS]

00:03:40   bauhaus very good love and rockets very [TS]

00:03:44   good love rocks there pop and they you [TS]

00:03:46   know they were gothy but they were they [TS]

00:03:48   were so popular like for a long time I [TS]

00:03:50   issued echo and the bunnymen because I [TS]

00:03:52   thought erroneously that they were a god [TS]

00:03:55   bandido the cure i was like listen to [TS]

00:03:56   music like that and then actually listen [TS]

00:03:58   to it was like this is amazing pop music [TS]

00:04:00   well so the Cure course being the being [TS]

00:04:04   the incredible example of a band that is [TS]

00:04:07   so extraordinary that they transcend all [TS]

00:04:12   genre but when i was first introduced to [TS]

00:04:14   the cure it was i was introduced to them [TS]

00:04:16   via their pop hits which I didn't like [TS]

00:04:20   the other there [TS]

00:04:21   I mean you know they have some some [TS]

00:04:23   really great pop songs now that we're [TS]

00:04:25   finally late eighties but the the stuff [TS]

00:04:27   I know what it is for me this is one [TS]

00:04:29   where thank God for greatest hits [TS]

00:04:30   I heard a little bit cure i think i had [TS]

00:04:33   head on the door and then I got the [TS]

00:04:35   standing on a beach [TS]

00:04:36   I got the cassette version goals they [TS]

00:04:38   were all different but yes but I mean [TS]

00:04:40   like each song was better than the last [TS]

00:04:41   they were in probably great pop songs [TS]

00:04:43   you haven't liked loved cats or whatever [TS]

00:04:45   haha stations are it's a great song but [TS]

00:04:47   I could take it or leave it right it was [TS]

00:04:48   kind of like the more of a hanging God [TS]

00:04:51   kind of guy [TS]

00:04:52   well what what happened to me was I got [TS]

00:04:54   someone dropped the entire aisle [TS]

00:04:56   disintegration on me and disintegration [TS]

00:05:00   happened already at a point where I was [TS]

00:05:03   like have a cure the guys get funny [TS]

00:05:05   harry wears eyeliner he's got these love [TS]

00:05:07   cats songs you know [TS]

00:05:08   yeah I'm well I'm still listening to [TS]

00:05:10   that first Iron Maiden record right and [TS]

00:05:13   I was a weird time [TS]

00:05:15   yeah and I don't need all this like [TS]

00:05:16   whole pop bleep but then a [TS]

00:05:20   disintegration landed on me and I feel [TS]

00:05:22   like that is an album physical it's one [TS]

00:05:24   of those Complete Works you do not take [TS]

00:05:27   a song off of that and listen to it [TS]

00:05:28   separately it is just you put it on and [TS]

00:05:31   you drive all night until you are so [TS]

00:05:34   hypnotise arrive later than I thought [TS]

00:05:37   that's 1989 that came and that's right [TS]

00:05:40   she's Louise that is a record that has [TS]

00:05:42   probably killed people right because [TS]

00:05:45   they are driven off the road in the [TS]

00:05:47   night they have gone down into a ravine [TS]

00:05:49   and as they fell into the ravine they [TS]

00:05:52   were not sorry because their death was [TS]

00:05:54   as dramatic as the music they were [TS]

00:05:56   listening don't think it hadn't gone [TS]

00:05:57   through my mind [TS]

00:05:58   sure I mean is the time music to like [TS]

00:06:00   when i arrived at somebody's house based [TS]

00:06:02   I figure out what song I wanted to be [TS]

00:06:04   playing when I pulled into someone's [TS]

00:06:05   driveway let alone how I want to die on [TS]

00:06:06   a road I hear a lot of people tell me [TS]

00:06:09   that eat that both the commander thinks [TS]

00:06:11   aloud and also our song our long winter [TS]

00:06:14   song blanket hog mls big guy gets big at [TS]

00:06:17   the end they put those songs on when [TS]

00:06:20   that when the captain says please fasten [TS]

00:06:22   your seatbelts were on final approach [TS]

00:06:23   they put those songs on their headphones [TS]

00:06:26   because they they want to ride that wave [TS]

00:06:28   if the plane is going down they want [TS]

00:06:30   that to be happening and they break the [TS]

00:06:32   glass on the special ipod to carry [TS]

00:06:34   around it just has those two songs on a [TS]

00:06:36   cute up though I totally relate to that [TS]

00:06:40   and the Cure's disintegration and my [TS]

00:06:43   bloody Valentine's Lovelace were always [TS]

00:06:44   the records that i put on when I was the [TS]

00:06:47   only one awake and i was driving the van [TS]

00:06:49   through the night [TS]

00:06:49   oh yeah both of them terrible records [TS]

00:06:52   for that because who you're exhausted at [TS]

00:06:55   that point everyone else is asleep no [TS]

00:06:56   one's there to keep you alive [TS]

00:06:58   well it's NBD man you might just start [TS]

00:07:00   hallucinating while the records you [TS]

00:07:02   absolutely do and so you can get a [TS]

00:07:04   sensory deprivation thing it's like what [TS]

00:07:06   is that noise where is that coming from [TS]

00:07:07   what is happening in your brain is gonna [TS]

00:07:09   try to fill in like [TS]

00:07:10   between in all these are all details to [TS]

00:07:12   help you understand what you want the [TS]

00:07:14   assault on your ears [TS]

00:07:15   that's right and so you're seeing the [TS]

00:07:16   the glowing the glowing eyeballs of [TS]

00:07:19   little deer that are waiting on the side [TS]

00:07:21   of the road to jump out re are you just [TS]

00:07:23   like I am with you [TS]

00:07:24   world i'm flying and you know swerve [TS]

00:07:26   driver I mean there were a lot of there [TS]

00:07:29   were a lot of bands that were in that [TS]

00:07:31   zone but i just picked those two records [TS]

00:07:35   for if i wanted something that had a lot [TS]

00:07:38   of sound [TS]

00:07:39   yeah you know the shootings bands were [TS]

00:07:41   weird for me because like goth stuff it [TS]

00:07:44   was something I felt very comfortable [TS]

00:07:45   writing off unfairly perhaps but none [TS]

00:07:48   right i would write off basically the [TS]

00:07:49   entire genre except for a handful of [TS]

00:07:52   utterly amazing bands i just as a genre [TS]

00:07:54   it seems like so such a nothing burger [TS]

00:07:56   but then you know MTV and maybe a ride [TS]

00:08:01   like there are a couple of those bands [TS]

00:08:02   like there's a lot going on this was the [TS]

00:10:57   the like that the dancing stuff that [TS]

00:10:59   happened in the nineties and I honestly [TS]

00:11:01   thought happy mondays was some kind of a [TS]

00:11:04   trap Street because he's so people we [TS]

00:11:07   unlike a man i must be missing something [TS]

00:11:09   other gaslighting you the entire culture [TS]

00:32:17   could never really get back together [TS]

00:32:18   what the guitar player was the one did [TS]

00:32:22   all the heavy lifting right was it will [TS]

00:32:24   sergeant was the same [TS]

00:32:25   yeah but it was like the bass player of [TS]

00:32:27   the drummers and I guess yeah I was like [TS]

00:32:30   a way yeah that was mostly drum machines [TS]

00:32:32   but but their drummer died right and so [TS]

00:32:35   it's a spinal tap situation i'm sure but [TS]

00:32:38   anyway it was this week it was this [TS]

00:32:40   weird event like you know when John Doe [TS]

00:32:43   goes around on his own and John Doe is a [TS]

00:32:46   beautiful man and John toe puts on an [TS]

00:32:47   unusual show very charismatic but he's [TS]

00:32:54   beautiful and also very charismatic [TS]

00:32:56   funny guy not Robbie Williams funny but [TS]

00:33:00   funny but watching the show I was like [TS]

00:33:03   there's nothing for me to I can sink my [TS]

00:33:05   teeth into any of this music air and [TS]

00:33:07   echo and the bunnymen felt I mean I was [TS]

00:33:08   in love and rockets fan why wouldn't [TS]

00:33:10   like it on the button they have they [TS]

00:33:13   uh-huh but just couldn't do it couldn't [TS]

00:33:16   even my colour kinda [TS]

00:33:18   just feel like echo and the bunnymen [TS]

00:33:20   it's kind of like a slightly better [TS]

00:33:21   Smith's not but not a thing that i could [TS]

00:33:24   really sink my teeth into you know I [TS]

00:33:27   don't use this word much I think you're [TS]

00:33:28   trolling me haha i think you're I think [TS]

00:33:31   you're you're deliberately you're [TS]

00:33:32   deliberately making this more difficult [TS]

00:33:33   than it needs to be working on the show [TS]

00:33:36   are for this episode's going to bend [TS]

00:33:37   over so I'm trying to bring on trying to [TS]

00:33:39   bring the patterns out of the woodwork [TS]

00:33:41   because I know whatever whenever I get [TS]

00:33:43   whatever I really hit on something [TS]

00:33:44   that's true i get a lot of pedantic you [TS]

00:33:49   break your breaking people's frame [TS]

00:33:50   people don't like the frame broken [TS]

00:33:52   yeah it doesn't fit the frame low [TS]

00:33:53   booga-booga I get a lot of actually get [TS]

00:33:56   professor actually giving you call arm [TS]

00:34:01   my other one's going to toss out so like [TS]

00:34:03   anytime I don't know why I mean we talk [TS]

00:34:05   about godspeed you black emperor we have [TS]

00:34:08   I feel like we should talk about [TS]

00:34:09   godspeed you black emperor some I think [TS]

00:34:10   they're phenomenal their part of it i [TS]

00:34:12   could get I'm so relieved to hear that [TS]

00:34:13   their part of that's like loudness is [TS]

00:34:16   our sixth instrument right like we have [TS]

00:34:20   guitar bass drums other guitar keyboards [TS]

00:34:23   and loudness but they got strings [TS]

00:34:25   strings got like 60 guitars and then [TS]

00:34:28   they got like a little miniature a [TS]

00:34:29   string section string section and [TS]

00:34:31   loudness yeah but I they just did a tour [TS]

00:34:35   and everybody was at the shows and they [TS]

00:34:37   were raving about it and I was in maui [TS]

00:34:39   and they didn't come to maui they played [TS]

00:34:41   all these places that I could have been [TS]

00:34:43   should have been would have been who but [TS]

00:34:46   i know i think they're phenomenal [TS]

00:34:47   dimension is because like when you think [TS]

00:34:50   about the certain bands that are so [TS]

00:34:51   atmospheric and npv was what was your [TS]

00:34:53   other one the cure but like sometimes [TS]

00:34:55   when i first started getting into them [TS]

00:34:57   what 2000 2001 2002 something like that [TS]

00:35:01   oh and must know when I had my ipod [TS]

00:35:03   though anyway I've been listening to [TS]

00:35:05   them when i was on muni and when it was [TS]

00:35:13   train goes into the tunnel it's like [TS]

00:35:15   with my finger here right [TS]

00:35:16   that's an allegory Laura for when the [TS]

00:35:21   Sailor meets the girl in the surf like [TS]

00:35:23   you know beyond kissing beyond kissing [TS]

00:35:25   one boy loves a girl very much his lips [TS]

00:35:29   can keep his mind and nothing else [TS]

00:35:34   wallet full of blood into the taraval [TS]

00:35:36   other merchants the merchants are mad [TS]

00:35:47   about losing parking [TS]

00:35:48   they always do that to make it run [TS]

00:35:49   better yeah it's a lot it's a lot like I [TS]

00:35:51   got speed you black emperor some time [TS]

00:35:54   me feel good [TS]

00:35:55   oh yeah for sure for shizzle my bruh i [TS]

00:35:58   have not seen them live i tried to [TS]

00:36:00   introduce my mom to glad Godspeed black [TS]

00:36:02   Emperor because it seemed like the type [TS]

00:36:04   of thing that would like that she would [TS]

00:36:06   turn up in her whole house would like [TS]

00:36:08   resonate like a like a drum but by that [TS]

00:36:12   point she had really gotten too far into [TS]

00:36:14   slash's snakepit to really back out some [TS]

00:36:18   so what mom has taken a she's taking a [TS]

00:36:22   left turn for many many years she had [TS]

00:36:24   impeccable taste [TS]

00:36:26   she would play like all the early Pink [TS]

00:36:28   Floyd records like she was just crank [TS]

00:36:30   kuma kuma and uh you know and all she [TS]

00:36:34   had every Sabbath record and when [TS]

00:36:36   Sabbath transition to do she had no [TS]

00:36:38   problem with it she just she made that [TS]

00:36:40   bump just fine but not a time [TS]

00:36:44   no not at the time but later yeah I you [TS]

00:36:47   know all the all the Zeppelin have [TS]

00:36:49   everybody she was completely down with [TS]

00:36:52   the struggle she had she had a hard time [TS]

00:36:57   with late eighties metal because she [TS]

00:36:59   just didn't like the screechy singing [TS]

00:37:00   but somewhere along the line and this is [TS]

00:37:05   i don't i can't i can't say for sure i [TS]

00:37:07   don't know whether indie-rock got in her [TS]

00:37:09   head and threw off her natural balance [TS]

00:37:11   her you know what she was trying to do [TS]

00:37:14   what she was trying to replicate the [TS]

00:37:15   feeling that she had listening to [TS]

00:37:17   Rachmaninoff in metal right she she said [TS]

00:37:22   she said I get it [TS]

00:37:24   this is this is Rachmaninoff in the form [TS]

00:37:28   of guitar music and i am into it and she [TS]

00:37:31   had a parametric eq and she would eq [TS]

00:37:33   kind of the bubbles out and and push the [TS]

00:37:38   base all the way up and she would sit in [TS]

00:37:40   just like her house with just thunder [TS]

00:37:42   but somewhere along the line and this is [TS]

00:37:45   I'm embarrassed to say this she listened [TS]

00:37:49   to Crede and she responded very very [TS]

00:37:55   intimate John and and from Creed well [TS]

00:38:03   she went two directions from imagine a [TS]

00:38:05   little leap she heard muse and muse was [TS]

00:38:08   her favorite band all of a sudden and [TS]

00:38:10   whatever means would come to town she [TS]

00:38:12   would go to the show she would buy a [TS]

00:38:14   ticket she didn't want to sit in the [TS]

00:38:16   front row she did she was fine sitting [TS]

00:38:18   up in the stands way up in the stands [TS]

00:38:20   because that the you know the base would [TS]

00:38:22   really developed by the time it got to [TS]

00:38:23   her and so if you can picture my 77-year [TS]

00:38:26   old mom at the time sitting way up in [TS]

00:38:29   the stands at the muse concert by [TS]

00:38:31   herself having the time of her life [TS]

00:38:34   right she would just go by herself she's [TS]

00:38:36   you know I wouldn't be in town or [TS]

00:38:38   something and she's like I'm gonna go [TS]

00:38:39   see mios really into music but then also [TS]

00:38:43   into creed and then here's where goes [TS]

00:38:46   crazy she went got into all the bands [TS]

00:38:48   that were off sheets of the creek family [TS]

00:38:50   of bands [TS]

00:38:51   ok so a lot of what you would you call [TS]

00:38:55   John rock music grunge i mean it's it's [TS]

00:38:57   what grungy evolved into after after [TS]

00:39:00   everybody pronounced grunge as a title [TS]

00:39:03   of things [TS]

00:39:04   Oh sort of like the way new order was a [TS]

00:39:06   disco band [TS]

00:39:07   yeah right okay listen to disco anymore [TS]

00:39:09   except back to contribute an active and [TS]

00:39:13   so there's almost like post-christian [TS]

00:39:14   don't go doo-doo-doo-doo dole dog to [TS]

00:39:18   continually don't get too drunk it's [TS]

00:39:20   like seven string guitars are a lot of [TS]

00:39:22   drop D tuning and people going [TS]

00:39:24   yeah i'm gonna simmer down well where [TS]

00:39:27   judge Albright demo account junk down [TS]

00:39:30   its fucking grunge and it's the worst [TS]

00:39:33   part of ground and it was turned into a [TS]

00:39:36   whole genre that I kind of lump in with [TS]

00:39:40   like the kid rock family of bands [TS]

00:39:42   yeah sure where it's just like she'll do [TS]

00:39:44   a little investigating what's left [TS]

00:39:45   biscuit limp bizkit is the biggest crime [TS]

00:39:48   against humanity like limp bizkit the [TS]

00:39:51   ones are a little rappy [TS]

00:39:53   yeah but I think enough they were there [TS]

00:39:56   like a grunge band 7-string guitar [TS]

00:39:57   grunge band with the worst human ever [TS]

00:40:01   produced by the collision of a sperm and [TS]

00:40:04   an egg like there is a room in my dick [TS]

00:40:08   cheney donald rumsfeld underground [TS]

00:40:46   they might they might have lunch [TS]

00:40:47   together right i mean because each would [TS]

00:40:50   are you forming a form of torture to the [TS]

00:40:52   other [TS]

00:40:53   oh right like but Fred Fred Durst makes [TS]

00:40:56   me so angry he made me so angry the day [TS]

00:40:58   he arrived on the scene any success he's [TS]

00:41:01   ever had makes me angry any even things [TS]

00:41:04   that i would consider failures but he [TS]

00:41:05   would consider successes [TS]

00:41:07   I hate I hate on I hate on behalf of the [TS]

00:41:10   world and I do i would i would put him [TS]

00:41:13   in a room with a sink and a steal at a [TS]

00:41:15   metal bed a prison bed and I would [TS]

00:41:18   gradually over the course of many many [TS]

00:41:22   months add just trace amounts of LSD [TS]

00:41:24   into his water and then I would [TS]

00:41:27   gradually move the walls of his room so [TS]

00:41:30   that it was no longer square but not not [TS]

00:41:33   really no we couldn't [TS]

00:41:34   there's no reference point like the like [TS]

00:41:38   gradually the bed would also stop being [TS]

00:41:41   square it would be a little bit narrower [TS]

00:41:43   at one end and a little bit wider at the [TS]

00:41:44   other but that would be true of the room [TS]

00:41:46   to look at where the dead inexplicably [TS]

00:41:49   rose about an inch over the course of a [TS]

00:41:53   month exactly what they think is getting [TS]

00:41:55   shorter [TS]

00:41:56   he's going to write his shoes should get [TS]

00:41:58   a gig like the scene from Amelie right [TS]

00:42:01   with the shoes are just slightly getting [TS]

00:42:03   smaller bear and the then the dimensions [TS]

00:42:06   rumor changing but all the other things [TS]

00:42:08   in the rumor [TS]

00:42:09   also changing so the lines still look [TS]

00:42:11   parallel so he's looking down the line [TS]

00:42:13   of the bed and it's still parallel with [TS]

00:42:15   the wall but it does but it seems like a [TS]

00:42:17   it seems like a rhombus now I would do [TS]

00:42:20   that to him I would do it i would watch [TS]

00:42:23   the videos i would watch the [TS]

00:42:25   closed-circuit camera of him trying to [TS]

00:42:27   navigate this new space slightly [TS]

00:42:30   tripping on LSD but not quite enough to [TS]

00:42:32   identify what was going on i would do [TS]

00:42:34   that for hours i would i would cackle I [TS]

00:42:37   would eat I would eat microwave popcorn [TS]

00:42:39   what would he have a chance to to to [TS]

00:42:41   make good what do you know he could have [TS]

00:42:42   these are old [TS]

00:42:43   well I would you know is i would do this [TS]

00:42:45   as a form of pleasure torture [TS]

00:42:47   uh-huh and then ultimately when I when I [TS]

00:42:50   had exhausted the pleasure of driving [TS]

00:42:52   him insane i would throw him into a pit [TS]

00:42:54   i would throw him into a a poop it and [TS]

00:42:57   then I would set it on fire [TS]

00:42:58   that is how i feel about printers wow I [TS]

00:43:01   would do that that's a very strong [TS]

00:43:02   feeling jealous i would quit my job [TS]

00:43:04   which i don't think i would quit my [TS]

00:43:07   daughters get a job and quit and make my [TS]

00:43:10   job is boring torturing a Fred Durst and [TS]

00:43:57   called him a garbage person turn turn [TS]

00:43:59   back the clock and ruined not just the [TS]

00:44:02   judiciary but America being articulate [TS]

00:46:01   Linkin Park but Lincoln Park had a [TS]

00:46:04   curious thing like they had it they had [TS]

00:46:05   a singer in a wrapper in my estimation [TS]

00:46:08   the rapper was somewhat superfluous but [TS]

00:46:11   the singer actually could sing before [TS]

00:46:13   and they and their music did not take on [TS]

00:46:15   the grossly misogynistic and genre [TS]

00:46:19   bending garbage person music if we still [TS]

00:46:22   call it that that that is limp bizkit [TS]

00:54:58   on the side of the stage and the check [TS]

00:55:00   next to me is dan Savage who reports [TS]

00:55:05   that this is the first rock concert he's [TS]

00:55:08   ever been to man up until this point in [TS]

00:55:10   his life he had only gone to drag shows [TS]

00:55:13   and broadway shows right because he was [TS]

00:55:16   a certain he was from a certain era of [TS]

00:55:18   being a gay man where you just liked [TS]

00:55:21   Broadway he'd never been to a rock [TS]

00:55:23   concert of any kind he had no rock now [TS]

00:55:25   that's so weird and so he stood next to [TS]

00:55:28   me throughout the show and I was like [TS]

00:55:31   whispering in his ear [TS]

00:55:32   what was happening bc this dan this is a [TS]

00:55:35   base this is an electric bass now you [TS]

00:55:38   were like your spirit guide [TS]

00:55:39   yeah but it doesn't sound like an [TS]

00:55:40   electric bass right now because he's [TS]

00:55:42   running it through a machine that makes [TS]

00:55:44   it sound all karate and dams like okay [TS]

00:55:49   karate and I was like yeah basis low [TS]

00:55:51   sound but it sounds high right now [TS]

00:55:53   because of this box is running through [TS]

00:55:55   intense like okay [TS]

00:55:57   is that something I should care about [TS]

00:55:58   and I'm like no no you don't have to [TS]

00:56:00   care about that and it would be like [TS]

00:56:02   good good good [TS]

00:56:03   ok I got it so tell me what I should [TS]

00:56:05   care about and I'm like well here's what [TS]

00:56:07   you should care about you know like [TS]

00:56:08   where was it was fun to do to take [TS]

00:56:11   somebody that I that I knew and liked [TS]

00:56:13   and walk him through rock music as [TS]

00:56:15   though he had never heard it because it [TS]

00:56:16   he actually had never heard but then so [TS]

00:56:20   this is going on through all the opening [TS]

00:56:21   bands and the first band was monster [TS]

00:56:24   magnet right which I actually kind of [TS]

00:56:26   like they were a little bit of a funny [TS]

00:56:28   metal band but they were more metal than [TS]

00:56:30   funny or like rock metal mhm like [TS]

00:56:33   Monster Magnet walk down through monster [TS]

00:56:35   magnet whole came on we both we both [TS]

00:56:38   shared a an intrinsic understanding of [TS]

00:56:41   what Courtney Love was can be because of [TS]

00:56:44   his background because of his back right [TS]

00:56:46   at that point he probably brought a lot [TS]

00:56:47   of lot of knowledge he was like aha i [TS]

00:56:50   seen that before I see this now and I [TS]

00:56:53   was like yes to this needs no explaining [TS]

00:56:55   but then Marilyn Manson took the stage [TS]

00:56:57   and I had I was wearing my Technicolor [TS]

00:57:02   irony coat and and was ready for this [TS]

00:57:10   ship comes out and proceeds with all of [TS]

00:57:16   his serial killer named clown families [TS]

00:57:19   proceeds to put on an extraordinary rock [TS]

00:57:23   show a fucking massive stadium grade [TS]

00:57:27   rock show that i SAT back in my heels [TS]

00:57:32   was like this is phenomenal [TS]

00:57:35   there is nothing funny about this it is [TS]

00:57:38   huge like the music is huge the show is [TS]

00:57:42   huge i was completely converted to the [TS]

00:57:44   marilyn manson cause not not even not [TS]

00:57:49   not so there was no irony left in me so [TS]

00:57:54   much so that when he came back to town I [TS]

00:57:56   went of my own volition not to laugh but [TS]

00:57:58   to celebrate [TS]

00:58:00   whoa like this is this is rock and roll [TS]

00:58:04   in the next time he came through he [TS]

00:58:06   wasn't a stadium band anymore he was [TS]

00:58:07   playing the big theater and it was [TS]

00:58:10   fucking great [TS]

00:58:12   he he threw a microphone a roadie he I [TS]

00:58:17   mean all the things you're not supposed [TS]

00:58:18   to do he transgressed not only our [TS]

00:58:21   societal expectations of gender and [TS]

00:58:25   power but he also he also challenged my [TS]

00:58:30   knowledge of how you're supposed to [TS]

00:58:32   treat your staff [TS]

00:58:33   it was terrible justjust from an HR [TS]

00:58:36   standpoint he's bringing something new [TS]

00:58:37   he wasn't just walking around in a dirty [TS]

00:58:40   jock strap [TS]

00:58:41   he was throwing microphones at his own [TS]

00:58:43   guys and I was like that's pretty rock [TS]

00:58:45   and roll that seems like something you [TS]

00:58:47   would do if you were like legitimately [TS]

00:58:49   on drugs and and I've when I see a [TS]

00:58:52   stadium Rock Show I assume that every [TS]

00:58:54   single thing that happens on the stage [TS]

00:58:55   is choreographed and part of the show [TS]

00:58:57   sure I saw Metallica one time where they [TS]

00:58:59   set the set the main PA on fire you know [TS]

00:59:03   that without a plan and they had to [TS]

00:59:05   shave and turn on the house lights and [TS]

00:59:08   move the audience back 80 feet from the [TS]

00:59:11   stage and the fire department came in [TS]

00:59:13   and I was like this is all part of the [TS]

00:59:15   show I mean I was fucking baked right [TS]

00:59:17   but I was this is part of the show now I [TS]

00:59:19   don't think you could do that as part of [TS]

00:59:20   the show but they set the PA on fire [TS]

00:59:24   come on if that's not part of the show [TS]

00:59:26   they should make it part of the show [TS]

00:59:27   every subsequent night of this to her [TS]

00:59:31   yeah if you didn't have a plan for that [TS]

00:59:32   you'll be filling out a lot forms every [TS]

00:59:34   night [TS]

00:59:34   yeah right exactly exactly nobody wants [TS]

00:59:37   a great white situation [TS]

00:59:38   oh god but uh but Marilyn Manson you [TS]

00:59:44   know they did something that that no one [TS]

00:59:47   can ever take away from me which is that [TS]

00:59:49   I saw Marilyn mansion show and I came [TS]

00:59:51   out the other side and [TS]

00:59:52   I'm sitting next to Dan and I'm like [TS]

00:59:53   this is blowing my mind and Ansel [TS]

00:59:55   watching it as a Broadway show [TS]

00:59:57   sure what I mean can take it away from [TS]

00:59:59   the guys before [TS]

00:59:59   the guys before [TS]

01:00:00   former it sounds like you know I mean [TS]

01:00:01   he's taking more than one note from [TS]

01:00:02   alice cooper about how to like put on a [TS]

01:00:04   mind-blowing show but with the [TS]

01:00:06   technologies got available that must be [TS]

01:00:08   pretty amazing and you know he didn't do [TS]

01:00:10   the Alice Cooper thing where it's like [TS]

01:00:11   I'm gonna be head of a tonight onstage [TS]

01:00:14   with the guillotine [TS]

01:01:14   going [TS]

01:01:15   ah but it but it's too stereophonic to [TS]

01:01:19   really be from him uh-huh but that's [TS]

01:01:21   exactly how he would sound like that's [TS]

01:01:24   exactly right [TS]

01:01:25   sure and then he jumps down and he gets [TS]

01:01:27   away how does he do that [TS]

01:01:28   how did you get from inside outside that [TS]

01:01:30   is what Marilyn Manson's band looked [TS]

01:01:32   like to me and they were all saying to [TS]

01:01:35   this audience of 14 year olds do drugs [TS]

01:01:38   do drugs which was hilarious [TS]

01:01:42   on the face of it as a kind of response [TS]

01:01:45   to the PMRC that's ten and a half years [TS]

01:01:48   to too late now the install the same no [TS]

01:02:19   something there there was something [TS]

01:02:23   there [TS]

01:02:23   what about see for some reason a funny [TS]

01:02:26   one for me is nine inch nails because [TS]

01:02:28   nine inch nails had their first big [TS]

01:02:29   single at a time when I was going lots [TS]

01:02:31   of new at night to gay bars and dancing [TS]

01:02:33   a lot [TS]

01:02:34   yeah and at the time I got up I could [TS]

01:02:48   if the my heyday for this was gonna say [TS]

01:02:53   80 to 89 90 91 ish but especially I'm [TS]

01:02:59   gonna say 89 i was doing on there's a [TS]

01:03:01   lot of that was a fun time for me [TS]

01:03:02   there's a lot of great rock music and a [TS]

01:03:04   lot of great but at the same time I was [TS]

01:03:06   I was borrowing well i was gonna say I [TS]

01:03:08   was far away most advanced like Pixies [TS]

01:03:10   but i was also super in hip-hop that's [TS]

01:03:12   the most i've ever been into hip-hop if [TS]

01:03:14   it was that or summer of the summer of [TS]

01:03:16   fight the power but also i love dance [TS]

01:03:19   music I really love it especially love [TS]

01:03:22   stuff like paid in full [TS]

01:03:23   like I love the like the acrobatics of [TS]

01:03:25   like hip-hop as dance music which you [TS]

01:03:28   know wasn't always a thing like people [TS]

01:03:30   did not really dance to run DMC know you [TS]

01:03:32   have like we have like a dump like [TS]

01:03:34   turntable is doing something like taking [TS]

01:03:36   you know as I had a 12-inch where they [TS]

01:03:39   had the long version of pain full with i [TS]

01:03:43   want you back by the Jackson 5 over it [TS]

01:03:45   it was like six of the greatest thing [TS]

01:03:46   I've ever heard in my life I coming so [TS]

01:03:47   what engineers came up with this is [TS]

01:03:49   originally do you know hip-hop was dance [TS]

01:03:51   music because that's where they invented [TS]

01:03:52   the the breakdancing yeah I know but I [TS]

01:03:54   mean I butBut you think about you think [TS]

01:03:58   about the other early Run DMC which is [TS]

01:04:00   great for the time was pretty stiff it [TS]

01:04:04   that they did not have a lot of what we [TS]

01:04:05   came to call flow to it [TS]

01:04:07   oh yeah but anyway but when I want the [TS]

01:04:09   top of the beach i would go to yeah i [TS]

01:04:11   would go to uh you know new ignited a [TS]

01:04:15   gay bar or whatever local bars why we [TS]

01:04:17   played at your school band played it [TS]

01:04:19   would also have new wave night we would [TS]

01:04:20   go there a lot and pretty cheap drinks [TS]

01:04:22   and so the total package but like any [TS]

01:04:25   given night [TS]

01:04:26   unix you could expect to hear this same [TS]

01:04:29   like amazing in retrospect amazingly [TS]

01:04:31   dissonant handful of songs so you might [TS]

01:04:34   hear that Harley the son-of-a-bitch you [TS]

01:04:36   might hear bring the eighth advice [TS]

01:04:38   remember that track you might hear [TS]

01:04:40   laibach you might hear you would [TS]

01:04:43   certainly add some boy huh [TS]

01:04:45   you can be my cowgirl that was more like [TS]

01:04:47   mekinese this little bit then you here [TS]

01:04:50   but then you would always hear the long [TS]

01:04:51   version 2 12 inch version of gigantic by [TS]

01:04:54   Pixies and you would always hear of [TS]

01:04:56   course when it wants to cut big head [TS]

01:04:58   like a hole would bring the kids out [TS]

01:04:59   that had like a whole really brought [TS]

01:05:01   people out on the dance floor and the [TS]

01:05:03   thing is though at the time someone [TS]

01:05:04   trying to get at is that was a funny [TS]

01:05:06   pivot time for me and music and my [TS]

01:05:08   understanding is because you're going [TS]

01:05:09   from like the super kind of silly gothy [TS]

01:05:12   eighties miss of the of the Gothic bands [TS]

01:05:16   right and it's before it's around a [TS]

01:05:19   little in again go back to the very [TS]

01:05:21   beginning of the show think about [TS]

01:05:22   ministry yet the Ministry of everyday is [TS]

01:05:25   Halloween and then you've got the [TS]

01:05:27   Ministry of Psalm 69 and those are like [TS]

01:05:29   really that's a very very different band [TS]

01:05:32   so this is around that time and so I [TS]

01:05:35   wasn't sure where where I had like a [TS]

01:05:38   whole and the same and nitrogen I wasn't [TS]

01:05:41   sure quite where nine inch nails fixed [TS]

01:05:43   because uh because I know them from that [TS]

01:05:44   one tune but like I think in a way they [TS]

01:05:47   were much more forward-looking that I [TS]

01:05:48   realized at the time because i'm still [TS]

01:05:50   kind of up in the men within like an [TS]

01:05:51   industrial dance music if you think [TS]

01:05:53   about 1989 it's kind of a watershed [TS]

01:05:55   moment which is to say that throughout [TS]

01:05:58   the eighties popular music with in [TS]

01:06:03   popular music there was no aspect of it [TS]

01:06:05   that was hard or time and by hard I [TS]

01:06:08   don't mean like hard rock I mean hard [TS]

01:06:10   like they're like your soul is harder [TS]

01:06:12   your fists are hard it's just I mean [TS]

01:06:14   that the production of stuff was pretty [TS]

01:06:17   thin lot of the time yeah and-and-and [TS]

01:06:19   soft right cough up until that point the [TS]

01:06:23   whole the governing aesthetic of it was [TS]

01:06:24   we're sad things are seeing suck [TS]

01:06:29   well I like one of my favorite passion [TS]

01:06:31   that time absolutely was a the cocteau [TS]

01:06:33   twins arm and you know that was my god [TS]

01:06:37   it was like it was like listening to a [TS]

01:06:39   spider [TS]

01:06:39   being built right not like the [TS]

01:06:42   thunderous stuff that would soon come [TS]

01:06:44   along but in 1989 there was a moment [TS]

01:06:47   where where goth got hard and it wasn't [TS]

01:06:54   it wasn't sad anymore and it wasn't that [TS]

01:06:58   it was mad [TS]

01:06:59   it was resigned to the fact that [TS]

01:07:03   vivisection was in our future right that [TS]

01:07:06   it was it was reporting now on a reality [TS]

01:07:11   on a future reality that they could see [TS]

01:07:14   where we all became cyborgs that shit in [TS]

01:07:19   a bag right like side of the one part [TS]

01:07:24   they couldn't engineer out of us cyborgs [TS]

01:07:27   that weren't close and will require a [TS]

01:07:28   bag i must I have clinicals three bag [TS]

01:07:32   like if we have all the information of [TS]

01:07:35   the universe in my brain yet I must poop [TS]

01:07:37   in bag [TS]

01:07:38   do you remember during that that was the [TS]

01:07:39   crop circle era where lot more animal [TS]

01:07:54   future that was well dystopian let's [TS]

01:07:56   just call it what they called it so so [TS]

01:07:59   it went from it went from like I'm sad [TS]

01:08:18   music that sounds like that and you know [TS]

01:08:21   in hip-hop it had gone all the way from [TS]

01:08:23   like we're tough to we are killing cops [TS]

01:08:27   yeah and nwa I mean public enemy was I [TS]

01:08:32   think about public any and maybe [TS]

01:08:36   were still scary but those are plastic [TS]

01:08:38   Uzis but it was the NWA NWA was [TS]

01:08:41   terrifying [TS]

01:08:42   the thing about something about public [TS]

01:08:44   enemies it was protest music it was [TS]

01:08:46   ultimately intellectual it was it was [TS]

01:08:49   making making a widespread cultural [TS]

01:08:51   implications [TS]

01:08:52   which are obviously an artistic [TS]

01:08:53   statement not to take anything away from [TS]

01:08:55   the seriousness of their material but [TS]

01:08:56   they were they were artists what they [TS]

01:08:58   were and what they were doing with that [TS]

01:08:59   what they call the bomb squad like what [TS]

01:09:00   they did with production nothing nothing [TS]

01:09:03   like that has ever existed before it's [TS]

01:09:04   still sparkles Terminator x [TS]

01:09:06   yeah i mean i'm not gonna don't mind [TS]

01:09:17   steps don't bend wa was much more [TS]

01:09:20   reportage and it was much more localized [TS]

01:09:22   right they were talking about the world [TS]

01:09:24   they were talking about even the other [TS]

01:09:25   side of Los Angeles your cancers with [TS]

01:09:28   Aaron but they were still dancers like [TS]

01:09:30   there was a whole show to it [TS]

01:09:31   yeah yeah but well anyway with scary [TS]

01:09:34   shit label they had flavor [TS]

01:09:36   yeah that's true whereas I mean eazy-e [TS]

01:09:38   was the was the Flavor Flav of nwa but [TS]

01:09:42   easy he was fucking hard he wasn't he [TS]

01:09:44   wasn't any that's not to say the flavor [TS]

01:09:46   was hard but anyway the thing that the [TS]

01:09:49   world does not need right now is you and [TS]

01:09:51   me talking about the hip-hop 1989 [TS]

01:09:53   I don't know man I don't know is things [TS]

01:09:56   I I don't know it did something to me it [TS]

01:09:58   did something to me out why no I'm not [TS]

01:10:00   you but but i would i'm not here to try [TS]

01:10:03   and sound like I'm hardcore something [TS]

01:10:05   I'm a white guy was in college but at [TS]

01:10:06   the same time like there's so much stuff [TS]

01:10:08   that would not be interesting happening [TS]

01:10:10   today if it hadn't been for like what [TS]

01:10:12   was happening then that anything the [TS]

01:10:14   next video magic personally is that is [TS]

01:10:17   that the thread at the time there was an [TS]

01:10:21   equally powerful thread in del assault [TS]

01:10:24   that was just gonna say that that it's [TS]

01:10:26   exactly was going to say which is you go [TS]

01:10:27   from do the right thing to like in the [TS]

01:10:31   next I think that same summer is when r [TS]

01:10:33   3 feet high and rising came out and the [TS]

01:10:35   thing is alongside jungle brothers [TS]

01:10:37   alongside our tribe called quest along [TS]

01:10:40   the night on [TS]

01:10:41   yeah yeah yeah it's not super tmw take [TS]

01:10:43   your point all those pants the thing was [TS]

01:10:44   there was no indication that this was [TS]

01:10:47   piqued hip-hop which I think it kind of [TS]

01:10:49   was it was very much the sense of like [TS]

01:10:52   there is no we have no idea where this [TS]

01:10:54   is gonna go now there is no stop it this [TS]

01:10:56   could go anywhere after you heard three [TS]

01:10:58   feet height right high and rising like [TS]

01:10:59   this there's no limit to this this is [TS]

01:11:02   different so much you can do here then [TS]

01:11:03   with rock'n'roll considering that three [TS]

01:11:05   feet high and dry [TS]

01:11:05   in and nation of millions you know where [TS]

01:11:09   were setting the you know the boundaries [TS]

01:11:12   what what makes me sad is that that [TS]

01:11:16   thread of tribe called quest lauryn hill [TS]

01:11:20   in some ways right it went over there [TS]

01:11:23   and kind of just went it ended up being [TS]

01:11:27   and that was it that was a direction [TS]

01:11:29   that like I was very excited about I [TS]

01:11:32   mean I was all I was also very excited [TS]

01:11:33   about the other direction you know the [TS]

01:11:35   in the direction of nwa but I was very [TS]

01:11:38   excited about this this direction of [TS]

01:11:40   like socially conscious really clever [TS]

01:11:44   and you know clever lyrics and clever [TS]

01:11:47   like groovy production that was this [TS]

01:11:50   that there was the direction of tribe [TS]

01:11:52   with della soul being the like having [TS]

01:11:55   already made revolver and then we're [TS]

01:11:58   going to go it just kind of like nobody [TS]

01:12:01   picked up that thread because the energy [TS]

01:12:03   all went to the energy all went into a [TS]

01:12:05   different kind of anger and that and i'm [TS]

01:12:07   still sad about it and went to find its [TS]

01:12:09   funds all from memory i'm not looking at [TS]

01:12:11   anything here but I'm remembering a [TS]

01:12:12   funny like disappointing confluence of [TS]

01:12:15   things at the time and this is not a [TS]

01:12:17   value judgment this is just an [TS]

01:12:18   observation one thing is that it was [TS]

01:12:20   being part of it was the ascendance of [TS]

01:12:21   Miami Bass music which was pretty dumb [TS]

01:12:25   down [TS]

01:12:26   I mean to say the least it was very it [TS]

01:12:28   was not in love you long time [TS]

01:12:30   doodoo brown I mean okay right to the [TS]

01:12:32   ground I get it doodoo brown and you [TS]

01:12:34   know it was not really i mean someone [TS]

01:12:36   was pretty clever the the asian guy in [TS]

01:12:39   tulip tree was pretty amazing like [TS]

01:12:40   inspire others that but then you know [TS]

01:12:43   what else is huge at the time was [TS]

01:12:44   suddenly like an idealist always kinda [TS]

01:12:48   alongside biz markie was kind of poster [TS]

01:12:50   child for this is like people going ok [TS]

01:12:52   that's enough with the free sampling [TS]

01:12:55   like you oh that's exactly right we need [TS]

01:12:57   to clamp down I think you could not get [TS]

01:12:59   three feet high and rising for a while [TS]

01:13:01   because stealing it was all fuck you and [TS]

01:13:03   maybe understandably but they finally [TS]

01:13:05   had to come up with some way of you know [TS]

01:13:08   they had to go street-legal with this [TS]

01:13:10   and there was no longer the wild west of [TS]

01:13:12   just being able to take you know any [TS]

01:13:14   change brown drum sample you want or you [TS]

01:13:16   know George Clinton understandably I [TS]

01:13:17   think I pretty up in arms about [TS]

01:13:18   to where he was selling if you could you [TS]

01:13:20   could basically by his stuff to sample [TS]

01:13:22   and I think that's still how it works [TS]

01:13:23   today but anyway i'm saying is there's a [TS]

01:13:25   few things you had the George W Bush era [TS]

01:13:27   fuck that you had all you said more and [TS]

01:13:29   more concerned about the PMRC type stuff [TS]

01:13:31   which was still you know this cancer all [TS]

01:13:34   the stuff with you remember all the [TS]

01:13:35   stuff with the with luther Campbell sure [TS]

01:13:38   I mean he was like public enemy number [TS]

01:13:39   one until i see came along [TS]

01:13:41   what well yeah I mean I steam very much [TS]

01:13:45   public enemy number one but I mean you [TS]

01:13:47   know I still consider him to be but i [TS]

01:13:50   don't know i think there's a lot of [TS]

01:13:51   stuff happening but then what's the next [TS]

01:13:52   big jump I don't like the way digital [TS]

01:13:54   underground of course digital [TS]

01:13:56   underground think about that like a baby [TS]

01:13:58   that was an incredible record real Peru [TS]

01:14:02   that stupid wish [TS]

01:14:04   I'm sure they're like Cupid these were [TS]

01:14:06   the domain nothing like to say goodbye [TS]

01:14:08   because you missed it i'm gonna have [TS]

01:14:10   said just grabbing the biscuit off it [TS]

01:14:12   hardware or 12 they might be giants are [TS]

01:14:15   our digital underground they might be [TS]

01:14:16   giants hip-hop shock g or or humpty-hump [TS]

01:14:20   not to help but think about thinking of [TS]

01:14:23   HUD think about Chucky and what he what [TS]

01:14:27   he was repin well that record that [TS]

01:14:29   record had lots of party hits it was fun [TS]

01:14:31   but also a lot they had some jungle [TS]

01:14:33   brothers style they had style [TS]

01:14:35   yeah i mean like there was there [TS]

01:14:37   something i don't know and i was like [TS]

01:14:38   general brothers didn't get the credit [TS]

01:14:39   they deserve [TS]

01:14:40   I thought they were a lot i mean there [TS]

01:14:42   was a time when they had their one [TS]

01:14:43   record that got a lot of play and then [TS]

01:14:45   was that because it was because of that [TS]

01:14:46   was just pre the rise of the DJ as the [TS]

01:14:49   the DJ / producer that words are that [TS]

01:14:53   sounds that were like collages had this [TS]

01:14:55   one song that I adored called good news [TS]

01:14:57   coming [TS]

01:14:58   that was just like a collage song of all [TS]

01:15:00   these great things over a beat with [TS]

01:15:01   these tribal sounds and gospel singing [TS]

01:15:03   and it wasn't a typical and it ends with [TS]

01:15:05   this kind of like township music South [TS]

01:15:07   African kind of like guitar part it's [TS]

01:15:08   got was still fighting for its [TS]

01:15:10   transcendent but like then what we get [TS]

01:15:13   we got house of pain like what what else [TS]

01:15:15   you got yes Jerry the law go straight to [TS]

01:15:18   the house of pain that that there was [TS]

01:15:22   that was the contemporaneous band with [TS]

01:19:47   of people who have been so who followed [TS]

01:19:50   along on that story and then everything [TS]

01:19:52   went radio silent when the gmcr be broke [TS]

01:19:55   down and was in Redding California [TS]

01:19:57   and I was trying to navigate the [TS]

01:19:59   complicated financial and social [TS]

01:20:02   arrangement January came and went [TS]

01:20:04   America was wondering yeah and then you [TS]

01:20:07   know it was there was there was all this [TS]

01:20:08   trouble with the people there at the at [TS]

01:20:10   the reading place where they were like [TS]

01:20:12   look we're good we got to fix this thing [TS]

01:20:13   if we don't fix it we're going to roll [TS]

01:20:15   it out of here and roll into a ravine [TS]

01:20:17   we're actually going to put on the [TS]

01:20:20   Cure's disintegration and roll it into a [TS]

01:20:22   ravine and that so i was very you know I [TS]

01:20:27   was very anxious about it i talked about [TS]

01:20:28   on this program there was a lot of there [TS]

01:20:31   was a lot of rigmarole on the Internet [TS]

01:20:32   where people were like let's just put up [TS]

01:20:34   a kickstarter and we're all going to [TS]

01:20:35   give you money and then you and I talked [TS]

01:20:36   about how that didn't feel right and [TS]

01:20:39   then I just left it right we were [TS]

01:20:41   talking about it because I didn't want [TS]

01:20:42   to talk about but when we last spoke [TS]

01:20:46   about it [TS]

01:20:47   where where were we and I said I [TS]

01:20:50   described the rescue mission and i don't [TS]

01:21:20   was a go [TS]

01:21:21   I i had till the end of january but i [TS]

01:21:23   had to make the go/no-go decision [TS]

01:21:25   exactly exactly what I mean like yeah [TS]

01:21:27   easy it's not it's not a parking lot [TS]

01:21:28   kind of situation right well after that [TS]

01:21:31   shortly after that point the black list [TS]

01:21:36   truly activated itself in a way that we [TS]

01:21:42   could not do I could not imagine I don't [TS]

01:21:44   think is duplicatable duplicatable or [TS]

01:21:48   Duke little blue Duke little bit [TS]

01:21:50   deplorable wear a cast of black Lister's [TS]

01:21:58   spearheaded by the great great birch [TS]

01:22:02   whose grandfather worked at GMC during [TS]

01:22:06   the development of the RV whose [TS]

01:22:08   grandfather actually has a namesake [TS]

01:22:10   version of the gmcr [TS]

01:22:11   d birch haven named after him great [TS]

01:22:15   birch who is the dentist and swim with [TS]

01:22:19   we referred him and swim dentist [TS]

01:22:21   oh he's a younger guy he's sort of our [TS]

01:22:24   age successful dental practice and he [TS]

01:22:26   owns a birthday even his namesake great [TS]

01:22:31   birch said this is an intolerable [TS]

01:22:33   situation we need to solve this stranded [TS]

01:22:37   RV and at the moment I was like I don't [TS]

01:22:39   want to do a Kickstarter people want to [TS]

01:22:41   help me I don't you know I don't know [TS]

01:22:43   how to accept help from people i [TS]

01:22:45   certainly don't know how to accept money [TS]

01:22:46   from people great bird says listen I'm [TS]

01:22:52   in touch with the black list and here's [TS]

01:22:55   what we've got [TS]

01:22:56   there's a man named Jerry who owns a [TS]

01:23:02   barn in red bluff California 30 miles [TS]

01:23:06   south of redding who has said that he is [TS]

01:23:09   going to heat their is based in his barn [TS]

01:23:11   for your RV [TS]

01:23:12   wow so all we have to do is tell the [TS]

01:23:16   people in reading at the RV shop that [TS]

01:23:19   we're not going to put the it's going to [TS]

01:23:21   be an uncomfortable conversation but [TS]

01:23:22   we're not going to fix the transmission [TS]

01:23:23   we're going to patch it back together [TS]

01:23:26   filling with fluid and then nurse it [TS]

01:23:30   down to Red Bluff where we're going to [TS]

01:23:33   put it in the barn and get driving or [TS]

01:23:36   telling driving [TS]

01:23:37   whoa and at that point we're going to [TS]

01:23:41   solve this problem in the bar and I'm [TS]

01:23:44   like this is some fucking heavy ass [TS]

01:23:45   black black list shit then I didn't know [TS]

01:23:49   was I didn't know this was on the table [TS]

01:23:51   right like black list isn't just your [TS]

01:23:54   water pump goes out and somebody on [TS]

01:23:55   somebody in the neighborhood helps you [TS]

01:23:57   change it which is already amazing [TS]

01:23:59   that's the great Kelvin of eugene but [TS]

01:24:03   this is the great great birch and he's [TS]

01:24:04   saying I he went to the black list and [TS]

01:24:07   said yo black list and I think his [TS]

01:24:10   premise was that i was i was potentially [TS]

01:24:17   an ambassador of GMC RVs [TS]

01:24:20   and to leave me on the side of the road [TS]

01:24:23   was going to be bad for the whole [TS]

01:24:24   community [TS]

01:24:25   this may have this may have been the [TS]

01:24:27   pitch that he made I wasn't there so now [TS]

01:24:31   here's where it gets interesting [TS]

01:24:33   great birch says I'm going with my wife [TS]

01:24:35   on a road trip to Reno or tucson or [TS]

01:24:41   somewhere to meet up with our family and [TS]

01:24:44   take a boat down the Nile he said I'm [TS]

01:24:49   gonna be going through there if you can [TS]

01:24:51   get this thing filled with fluid and [TS]

01:24:55   pushed into the parking lot of all wheel [TS]

01:24:57   repair shop and reading i will drive it [TS]

01:25:01   to read love with my wife in the chase [TS]

01:25:05   car and I was like this is seriously [TS]

01:25:09   heavy this is heavy paying it forward [TS]

01:25:12   support action so great birch goes down [TS]

01:25:17   with his wife he gets in the RV [TS]

01:25:20   he says drives great or whatever he's [TS]

01:25:22   driving at 70 miles an hour down the [TS]

01:25:24   road he takes it to red bluff puts it in [TS]

01:25:27   Gary's barn this all happens this all [TS]

01:25:30   goes down I can't i was going to go down [TS]

01:25:32   there to do this mission with him but I [TS]

01:25:36   had I had a gig I had a places to be I [TS]

01:25:39   couldn't [TS]

01:25:40   I what I absolutely would have but I [TS]

01:25:43   could [TS]

01:25:43   wow so he goes and does this himself and [TS]

01:25:46   now here is where it gets bananas [TS]

01:25:48   because gary is this cool cat [TS]

01:25:54   he's got this big farm this big walnut [TS]

01:25:57   farm walnut tree farm out in red bluff [TS]

01:26:00   Greg calls Manny Manny as you recall is [TS]

01:26:07   the Beethoven of GM cr-v transmissions [TS]

01:26:10   who lives way up on the hill in San Jose [TS]

01:26:13   on 10 aces right Greg says Manny listen [TS]

01:26:20   we got to get a transmission into this [TS]

01:26:23   rig Manny rebuild the transmission which [TS]

01:26:27   he can do in eight hours apparently [TS]

01:26:29   throws it in the back of his truck and [TS]

01:26:32   drives from san jose de red bluff [TS]

01:26:35   so now we've got Gary we've got Greg and [TS]

01:26:39   we've got mainly all converging on this [TS]

01:26:41   barn and then a fourth guy from the [TS]

01:26:46   black list whose name I don't know but [TS]

01:26:48   it's got to be somewhere between Greg [TS]

01:26:49   Gary and Manny probably get Danny know [TS]

01:26:54   could be Danny m-maybe Chuck I don't I [TS]

01:26:56   I'm embarrassed announced that is [TS]

01:26:58   extraordinary this is this is like a [TS]

01:26:59   superhero stories is going beyond beyond [TS]

01:27:02   beyond and the four guys change the [TS]

01:27:06   transmission in Gary's barn and put a [TS]

01:27:12   bunch of other things in there you know [TS]

01:27:16   they what one of the get the fourth guy [TS]

01:27:18   whose name I can't remember invented [TS]

01:27:20   some little part that keeps your [TS]

01:27:22   dashboard from catching on fire [TS]

01:27:24   well how that he was like listen if you [TS]

01:27:26   don't put this part in there eventually [TS]

01:27:27   your dashboard is going to catch on fire [TS]

01:27:29   so here I'm adding this little part Gary [TS]

01:27:32   also invented some part for the GMC [TS]

01:27:34   although i think it's might be a robot [TS]

01:27:37   airbag system they didn't put it in but [TS]

01:27:40   so they do this work and it's a [TS]

01:27:42   situation where it's like four guys and [TS]

01:27:44   what they what do they want to do on a [TS]

01:27:45   Saturday well they want to go out and [TS]

01:28:05   guys are like yeah let's go fix this [TS]

01:28:07   truck that'll be fun and great birch and [TS]

01:28:11   Gary part of their motivation is they've [TS]

01:28:13   always wanted to see Manny replace the [TS]

01:28:15   transmission because he's the Beethoven [TS]

01:28:17   of GM cr-v transmissions so so this [TS]

01:32:11   television back in the day and had all [TS]

01:32:14   these stories about driving his GMC RV [TS]

01:32:16   across the country and i realized that i [TS]

01:32:20   have joined this insane network that's [TS]

01:32:24   kind of like Specter right where their [TS]

01:32:29   logo should be an octopus and instead of [TS]

01:32:33   being a bunch of 35 year-old assassins [TS]

01:32:36   they are a national network of very [TS]

01:32:39   quiet [TS]

01:32:40   eighty-five-year-old assassins I think I [TS]

01:32:42   think you've you from the answer to a [TS]

01:32:45   lot of questions John I have no idea [TS]

01:32:47   what's going on your you have found your [TS]

01:32:49   secret society [TS]

01:32:50   I'm easyriders your seal team six except [TS]

01:32:52   everybody's 80 yeah you drive into a [TS]

01:32:54   town you park your thing on the side of [TS]

01:32:56   the road [TS]

01:32:57   put your flashers on and it's like a [TS]

01:32:59   beacon call it's like the bat signal [TS]

01:33:02   suddenly you're surrounded by former [TS]

01:33:04   NASA engineers who are like I've got a [TS]

01:33:07   story you ever hear about the USS [TS]

01:33:09   Lexington and then and there like I [TS]

01:33:12   invented a part for the GMC and it keeps [TS]

01:33:14   your keep your wheels from catching on [TS]

01:33:16   fire here let me install it because [TS]

01:33:19   that's what i think is fun to do and and [TS]

01:33:21   so great birch back and swim [TS]

01:33:24   Gary's back in red bluff Manny's back in [TS]

01:33:26   san jose i'm back in seattle the circle [TS]

01:33:30   is complete the GMC is like in the game [TS]

01:33:35   again and i have a and I have a debt of [TS]

01:33:39   gratitude to like 40 guys and I feel a [TS]

01:33:44   renewed debt of gratitude to like like a [TS]

01:33:49   generation so I'm my head is still [TS]

01:33:54   spinning I don't blame you i mean but [TS]

01:33:57   it's also interesting inflection point [TS]

01:33:59   because has there ever been a greater [TS]

01:34:01   you know i mean in terms of like this it [TS]

01:34:05   seems like a virtually impossible [TS]

01:34:06   situation not too long if not impossible [TS]

01:34:08   at least very very costly and [TS]

01:34:10   time-consuming and now not only are you [TS]

01:34:12   better than when you started [TS]

01:34:13   but now now the question is like how [TS]

01:34:16   deep you go in this word he uses as just [TS]

01:34:19   to sell the thing in get your get your [TS]

01:34:21   money back [TS]

01:34:22   no no I think I'm i think i did what had [TS]

01:34:24   to be asked [TS]

01:34:25   oh yeah I can't get out of this now I'm [TS]

01:34:27   i have to go deeper and deep like i'm in [TS]

01:34:30   i'm in the front door other thing that [TS]

01:34:35   potentially is bottomless [TS]

01:34:37   this could you have it in you to pay it [TS]

01:34:39   forward back to blacklist people [TS]

01:34:41   this could be the dark web right mhm [TS]

01:34:44   which which you can best visualized as [TS]

01:34:48   an iceberg where Google is at the top [TS]

01:34:51   and something else is at the bottom but [TS]

01:34:56   that the thing what this is teaching me [TS]

01:34:58   is I can never repay this debt simply by [TS]

01:35:01   paying it forward within the blacklist [TS]

01:35:04   community because I'm not a NASA [TS]

01:35:06   engineer i can i can continue to enjoy [TS]

01:35:10   my GMC RV and if other people find that [TS]

01:35:14   that is enjoyable to watch [TS]

01:35:15   watch and participate in vicariously and [TS]

01:35:17   that inspires them to themselves by GMC [TS]

01:35:20   RVs and join me in my great trip across [TS]

01:35:22   america and through the crazy tour of [TS]

01:35:27   colds right um then please by all means [TS]

01:35:31   join me and buy your own GMC SUV and [TS]

01:35:34   find as i have this this miracle [TS]

01:35:38   community of of of weirdos but I now [TS]

01:35:42   have a responsibility to pay it forward [TS]

01:35:44   even outside the GMC community right I i [TS]

01:35:48   have now learned the power of paying it [TS]

01:35:50   forward and so I don't you know whatever [TS]

01:35:53   my particular skill is and maybe it is [TS]

01:35:56   guesting on people's dumb podcasts or [TS]

01:35:58   maybe it is getting gigs for small bands [TS]

01:36:02   in debt and that is not it so do not [TS]

01:36:04   send me any tweets about will not get [TS]

01:36:07   your stupid band giggles you're still [TS]

01:36:09   gonna need some time to process this but [TS]

01:36:10   I need to find a way to pan and yes [TS]

01:36:12   Merlin I need to I need to pay it [TS]

01:36:14   forward within my own sphere of [TS]

01:36:16   influence [TS]

01:36:17   whilst also paying it back to the GM [TS]

01:36:21   cr-v community which has taught me so [TS]

01:36:24   much I feel like I've been to the [TS]

01:36:27   mountain it's gonna be super interesting [TS]

01:36:29   well i don't know I maybe what I should [TS]

01:36:31   do is but so i have this inside that i [TS]

01:36:33   should buy all the remaining GMC rvs her [TS]

01:36:36   and convert them to and put tesla motors [TS]

01:36:39   in them and convert them to electric [TS]
