It's good to see you again. Hey, uh, have a great episode. I'll be back later. Say hello.
Go! La la la la la la la la. Oh, he did not introduce you. He just introduced me.
Who are you? My name is Lou Barlow. And welcome to Raw Impressions. You may know me from some rock bands.
Some? Yeah. You may know me from rock bands that were influenced by the band Flipper. Flipper is really on your mind.
Yeah, Bruce Loose. Bruce Loose. Bruce Loose. One of the members of Flipper died.
I didn't actually come to this podcast to talk about that, but it just popped out of my head. You were just very graciously allowing me to expound upon my love of Flipper and how deeply they influenced me and trying to explain Flipper to somebody is pretty fun. But I know I'm wishing there was a Flipper documentary, but maybe there already is one. I think there's like 10 Flipper documentaries.
I actually don't know that. I know that people care about Flipper. Yeah. People like me.
You really care about Flipper. I care about Flipper. Sabado cares about Flipper. Sabado really cared about Flipper.
Well, there's a lot of people in my vintage with my approximate musical upbringing. They like the Flipper. They like the Flipper. Yeah.
But enough about me and my musical tastes. Okay. What's going on? What's going on with you?
Well, this morning, I had a real big hankering for a BLT for breakfast. And I made it happen. And that was a wonderful thing that I did for myself. When you say BLT for breakfast, is it not usually for breakfast?
Oh, well, I thought people had BLTs for lunch and dinner. I thought BLTs were an all day long kind of thing. Oh, well, then it's fine. I just don't know if I've ever had a BLT for breakfast.
But it was a great idea with my coffee. Yeah, you came to me with a sparkle in your eyes. I'm going to go get a tomato and some bread at the store. And I'm going to make myself a BLT.
Yes. I was really excited because yesterday I made Izzy breakfast for dinner, which was eggs and some toast and bacon. Excuse me. Breakfast for dinner is awesome.
Yeah. Oh, okay. Good. Awesome.
My mom started doing that in the 70s. It was kind of a trend. My father found it to me. It was kind of a head scratcher for my dad at the time.
But I thought it was great. It really comes in a pinch when you're trying to feed like a young person, I feel like, especially. And you're like, I don't know. And they have a limited thing, you know, selection of foods that they're willing to consume.
And, you know, so, but I do know that she'll eat the white part around the yolk and she'll eat a couple pieces of toast. She'll eat an orange and she'll eat a piece or two of bacon. She's pretty skilled. I think she likes the game of removing the yolk.
Excuse me. I'm removing the white from the yolk. Yeah. It kills me to see her not eat those beautiful yolks.
Yeah. You love the yolk. I really love yolks. That's something that I love.
I'm really hot and cold with the yolk. Yeah. I'm not cold with eggs. Yeah.
She's, Adele is unpredictable day to day. That's true. About her about whether she can eat a egg or not. Sometimes they seem like they're the groat that you really hate them.
Yeah. The grossest thing. Definitely. That you can think of.
And then other times you're like making yourself an egg. And then I'm like, this is the most incredible thing I've ever had. Yeah. I have like almost no speaking of neutral feelings about eggs.
It's either really love them or really hate them. Oh, I hear a little something. That sounds familiar. That sounds really familiar.
Well, it's been a long time. Oh, man. Handers. Man.
Handers is Campbell's vegetable. And he gives a man size to suffer. All good. Hard.
Start. Man. Handers. Oh, yeah.
Hand a lot. Man. Handers. Oh, man.
Handers is Campbell's beef soup. A steady soup. Whole grain, barley, bites of egg loss and vegetables. And then you're good.
Man. Handers. Oh my God. Oh.
It's not over. Okay. He said they're ready. What?
No. How do you handle a hungry man? A man. Handers.
How do you make him the day harder for everyone? Who's a man? He's a high and you. A man.
Handers. A man. Handers. Who's a man?
Handers is Campbell's scotch broth. Half full of tongue and intestines. How do you handle a hungry man? Handers.
And handless. Oh, gosh. I'm almost afraid to ask where those sound effects came from. Oh, I can't believe I'm laughing.
I really struggled with that one. I didn't struggle with it, but I worked really hard for two days on that one. You did. Man, I got into- Now how motherfucking good was that?
What I just did, that is voice over work. That's what I am here for. Yeah. Oh, a doubt.
You're doing a great job. Keep going. I'll be back to say goodbye. How about that?
All right. He did do a really good job on that. Yes, he did. He did.
He's the start of that. Oh, my gosh. Man handler. I can't believe I laughed.
I was working so hard on it and I thought, you know, I was like, oh, this one isn't as good as some of the other ones I've done, and it's not going to make me laugh. And then I'm going to have to be sort of self-deprecating after it plays. I'd be like, I wish it was better. Could have been better.
I could have done some things differently. But now hearing it, because you're here with your little ears, with your little seashells. Oh, do you like my ears? I really like your ears.
And I like that your ears, I like it. When you're hearing, and I'm looking at you hearing with your ears, something that I've done that you haven't heard yet, you know, it's really satisfying. And I'm sorry that I haven't done a commercial recreation in a while, but that one. That was so funny.
I'm obsessed. I want to hear more. I want to hear like a series now of man. Is it man handler?
Yeah, man handlers. It's a soup from Campbell's. Yeah, I remember this sort of like foggy in the background on the TV, like a man handler. It's kind of, it's a chunky soup.
Yeah, it's a chunky soup before they really called it chunky soup. I don't know though. I had any like, Campbell's chunky soup before that it was a man handler. I don't know if I can, I don't know if we can go as far as to relate those to like, I can't say.
I'm not a Campbell's. It's okay. There's no fact. It's not a.
We're just spewing thoughts. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, our friend Mark Peretta.
Yeah. He gets my commercial recreations. He actually, he's a good friend of mine. He was in, he was in the deluxe full conclusion with me.
And he is the one who wrote the, he came up with the Fret scratching. I don't play it for y'all. The scratch, the Freta scratch, Fretching. The string scratches that begin, Daddy never understood and are basically the hook of that song.
Daddy never understood being one of the greatest songs I've ever done. I've ever been a part of it. It's an absolutely perfect recording. It is a collaboration between myself, Mark Peretta, John Davis, and sure Bob Thay too.
He was on drums. Anyway, Mark has always been so complimentary about the little quirky things we do for this podcast. I know I love this so much. And then he'll say, yeah, he sings the CVS theme regularly.
He really liked my cover of the latest thing that he complimented me on, which made me feel so good, was that he really liked my feel like making love cover. A lot of times I'll do these things, you know, then that's the episode, and then do another episode the next week and you move forward. So these things just get lost to time. But Mark always reminds me of things he liked that he's heard on the podcast.
I did that, but he suggested this one really early on. And I was, this was not one of my big memory commercials, but it was for him. And he told me about it. He's like, yeah, you should really do the man-handling commercial.
And I was like, oh, okay. Because he's got impeccable taste. He does. And he's really fucking funny.
And so I went and I watched the man-handlers commercials on YouTube. I did this when we first started the podcast. And I'm like, oh, yeah, this is in the queue. The commercials are amazing.
Are you going to put your... No. I'm not going to be able to match them up. That was so funny.
I have... Please do that again someday, okay? I can say that doing that, then I run the danger of losing my mother-fucking mind, because the attention to detail and how particular that has to be, I don't know if you remember the Burger King debacle. Have it your way debacle that we're literally...
It was in such rough shape. I mean, I encourage anyone to go back and actually listen to that one. It's the Burger King. I did it.
I spent... You should be a subscriber on our sub-set just to see that. Five days doing that Burger King commercial. So it exactly synced the original commercial.
And it's only a minute long. And I spent the better part of a week losing my mind. Defending myself. I was really out of it to be generous.
I think I have a memory a bit. Yeah, we did a whole episode. Anyway, so Mark suggested Manhaler's. And that's for him because I've been thinking about him.
So I'm like, we saw Mark a couple times in the last two weeks, which is really nice. He's an old friend. That's my trophy for Mark. I really wanted to do that for Mark.
Nice. I hope that makes him smile. Yeah. Speaking of Mark Poretta, gosh, I don't want to make him embarrassed now.
You know, he might be home going like, oh no, what now? But I feel like when I see him, when I see him, I want him to just look at me and either give me like thumbs up or thumbs down or maybe he's neutral. But like I realized the last time we saw him, that I went in to give him a hug because I really like Mark a lot. And I don't always want to hug everybody, but I do really enjoy hugging people I care about.
And I saw he and Mora came to the ALS walk. That really meant a lot to me. And you kind of like looked like, heck, you know, was she going in for a hug? And I was like, I want to respect that some people don't, they don't want that, you know?
And that's completely like I want to respect their body and their boundaries and their comfort and maybe a fist bump or maybe just like a hello, just even a wave. And so Mark, you know, next time I see you before you even, if you've heard this and I think you will, can you give me either just like before you even say, hi, just give me a thumbs up, thumbs down or whatever. And I will know that thumbs up means I can give you a hug or thumbs down is like, let's just wave and say hi. And that'll be cool.
And no matter what, I deeply respect you and I'm glad we're friends. And I hope you enjoyed the man handler. Because I really enjoyed that too. And I have questions.
Oh, I just got a thumbs up on my screen. So that doesn't mean that to you, Mark. My video just did that. So do you ever, do you hug, Mark?
No. Okay. No. Okay.
Mark was a friend of mine from Boston. You know, I met him when I lived in Boston in the 90s. That's how he met him. He's been a lot.
How did you meet? He was good friends with Bob Fay. Oh, okay. He of Sabadeo in the mid 90s.
Uh-huh. He had a band called Deluxe. And Bob Fay had a band called Deluxe? Yeah, with Mark.
Oh, the two of them. Oh, okay. That's how I met him. Oh.
And yeah, so I could go. Oh, I'm just curious. I didn't know that. Yeah, he had a really good sense of humor.
Yeah, he still does. He had a really funny name for it. He had really, he's a guy who would have funny band names. Mm-hmm.
And he had a band called mucus crunch cup. I always think about mucus crunch cup a lot. I think of it at least a couple of times of year, I'll just be thinking I'll just be walking along or doing the dishes. And I'll think mucus crunch cup.
Well, you know who else is funny is his wife, Maura Jasper. Something she said at a dinner we had, and I don't know. I think she'd be okay with me saying this. It was so funny.
And whenever I think about it, I just LOL to myself. Um, remember when we had dinner with them? Gosh, it could have been for her 50th birthday or near her 50th and now we're anyway. So she, we were having just this funny discussion and she said that she had the perfect name.
Where'd you go? What? I thought Fortrak man was gonna fit the cabocha in this episode, but he didn't come back. Oh, okay.
Well, so Maura said that she had the perfect name for a porn movie. And I always think of it because I think it's the funniest thing ever. Trick, trick, yes. Trick, trick.
I just love that one so much. Sometimes it just comes into my brain and I'm like, yes. She marked, she marked, showed up where we saw them at that time. They showed up where were we?
Tick, tick, check on the brain. They're like, they're both like, hey, we got a really, really good name for a porn movie. That was really the best thing ever. I think about that often as well.
And then we should be made. So somebody please make tick, check and invite me to the screening. So I really want to go. All right, so yeah, there's that.
And what else, dear? I think we've already gone over our 15 minutes already. Oh. I mean, I was going to talk.
Is that supposed to be a 15 minute episode? Oh, no. Oh, no, it's not supposed to be a 15. What was I thinking?
I don't know. This isn't a mini music Monday. Oh my God. Maybe you need a tick check.
Oh boy. Oh God. I wish I got a tick check. I know there could be someone in the porn who has lime, who's like just bedridden all the time.
Anyway, you know, we can further discuss this with Mark and more creative. I know. Really? Yeah, I felt like it is one of my.
Oh my goodness gracious. So there's been a point in my life where I wanted to direct adult films. Mm. I wanted to be a.
Because you had ideas. I had ideas. I was going to say. That's back when there were really more films.
You know, now it's like just. Well, I think I don't think there's I think that could be brought back. I'm sure there's some story. Maybe there is.
I don't know. In the great. But there was really sort of a heyday rate of golden era of like the movie. Adult films.
Don't get me started on porn. OK, so don't don't get started on porn. Right. You're going to brought it up saying you want to direct them.
You brought up tick tick check. Well, you brought up Mark. So I had to bring it brought me to Mora, which brought me to tick check, which brought me to porn. So there you go.
I don't. I'm innocent. I want to say one thing about one thing about hugging. I want to talk quick story about.
Yes. Yes. And how it relates to Mark. Oh.
In Boston, I didn't hug people. I grew up not hugging people. I didn't hug my friends. My friends didn't hug.
Well, wait, it was as pre-Massachusetts to eat and hug people in the Midwest. I didn't hug my friends. I had my mommy. And my daddy.
Well, yeah. My ass. You did have like kind of cuddly family. Yeah, I'm not.
I'm not. This was not because I wasn't cuddly. But you moved to Massachusetts when you were older. I did.
But in Massachusetts as well, it was I will say that Massachusetts was even less cuddly. Right. OK. It's not a cuddly place.
I had a lot of really close friends. A lot of people that I whose company I really enjoyed. I did not hug them. Any of them.
But when I moved to Los Angeles, I became a hugger. Because everybody hugged everybody. All friends. Totally.
And I kind of like I got into it and I started to enjoy that. Me too. I enjoyed I enjoyed that. You know, you have a people come over and you give them a little hug.
And I liked that. And I really I and I really felt a lot of my defenses like that coming down. And I enjoyed it. When I was on tour while I lived in Los Angeles, I did a we were on tour.
And we were to show like in Kentucky or something. And a woman said hi to me. And I did what I did with everybody at that point. I hugged her and she looked horrified.
The look on her the look of terror and like yeah. Feeling of being like invaded. And I felt that and I thought I cannot I have to be very I can't just throw out hugs. You have to ask permission.
I have to ask permission. You should always ask permission. I didn't I didn't with Mark from my my my California lifestyle made me into just like a serial hugger. So um but I thought when I saw that that woman had that reaction, I don't know who it was a stranger.
You know, I was talking strangers for God's sake. Okay, I don't know if I went that far. I hug people I know unless it's unless it's a stranger who I just met at the merch booth and said they like for impressions and then they made it. Exactly.
At a show. And then they just gone like this. Right at a show. I just reached and told my arms and I was like, like, hi, Gini.
Right. When you're like at a show, like when when someone likes your band when you're in a like you do want to reassure people or make them, you know, you want it to be, you know, because it can anyway anyway. I don't know. I mean, I think hugging is like there's a lot of things to it.
And I think that um overall though, my my feeling is that it is good to try very hard to be mindful and to read a person. And if you know, they're kind of like, hey, you know, I'm not like they're not like reaching out, you know, like with the you can kind of tell, you know, when someone's like, yeah, I'm going to give you that hug back, right? Um, and so I do think that it's really important to give people space and to respect, of course, all of their, their body and their space and what they want, you know, and I'm all for that. And, um, I don't want certain people to hug me actually.
You know, I've had people come up to me and I'm actually a hugger, you know, but like I have had people come up to me to be honest at like some shows, some shows who it's kind of the opposite. Like I wasn't selling merch, I was just there seeing you or something. And they're a little bit like over excited and they come to hug me. And I'm like, I don't want to hug you.
So I'm a bigger than the whole sky. I could buy a bigger than the whole sky. Hey, thank you for listening to Ron Preshins with the Del Barlow. Come on and tell her.
