It's Finger Licking Good. Welcome to Wild Card Podcast. I'm your host, Jared Eaton, and my co-pilots on this journey to wherever are my good friends, Jeff Curtis. Hello.
And Ron, I left the dogs out, Blair. Everything today sucks. Also, joining us this week, our first ever guest on the Wild Card Pod. In my chair.
If he is in Ron's chair and sat in Ron's seat in my car- And Ron's talking about it. I'm talking all day. My good friend, Trigalesame. Hello.
Happy to be here, my name is Derek Orr. I'd like to call myself the new Ron. Ooh. He does call himself that regularly.
I can attest to this. He actually met you until now. He was already calling himself the new Ron. Well, the legend proceeded.
Okay, that's true. The treasure of Hard and Magic. Yeah, but which Ron is he replacing? The original or the...
We do. Or the cheat knock on. He's Jeff Curtis. The swatch of the Wild Cards.
Okay. The swatch. Mmm. What is she?
He's a pleather. I am pure Cordova Nether. Hey, I'm sitting on pure pleather in my chair. It's true.
You're a pleather. You're a pleather. We actually had an upside which music featured. I'm very good.
Yeah. It's a pleasure to have you here. For now. Over the last 15 episodes, whether they like it or not, people got to know us a little bit.
More likely. Not likely. They don't like it. They don't like this.
No, no, no. So Drake, can you tell us a little about your background or your problem? Okay. Well, I'm here right now doing Hunt Back and Order Golf at the Pack.
Yeah. That's why I'm in the area. It's killing him. He's literally killing people.
I've heard good things from Drake. You know? He's killing him. Secret punk, huh?
I'm so good. When I... I worked in haunted houses for a very long time and I would be the head of casting and stuff like And there was without this one guy. Yeah, very, very much Drake.
Drake, you know. And at the end of the night, I would be lugging my chainsaw and my gas. I'd be all hunched over and I'm like, God, I'm tired. Nothing on my character.
Jesus, I'm tired. I was like, I'm narcoleptic. But then one of these douchebags would catch up to me and they were like, I killed it tonight. I scared everybody.
And they were like in the sight behind me. And I would have to be like, yeah, you killed it buddy. You're doing a great job. Yeah, thanks for talking to our brothers.
Right. You earned that 25 bucks pal. I'm going to fall asleep driving home. You keep kicking it.
You'll party him. You've sold me everything. That was so good tonight. I scared at least 5 people at a 4,000.
Yeah, good job. I want Drake to share a quick little tidbit with you. And I know the story. I already kind of saw this part.
It was terrible. But there was something that Mark told you very particularly about what you were going to do to people in the audience about the seats. Oh yeah. Right.
Markow and director. Great guy. First time. So far.
Just wait. But I'm singing out there, which is one of the big numbers from the movie and the show. And Mark says, there's not going to be a dry seat in the house. We've not got to let go.
Yeah. All right. So Drake's joining us today. We've invited him in.
We're going to do a little plugging of him there so we have to plug some much back. But as we're going to know, you and you need to know us, I kind of want a different direction with a favorite today. Yeah. Favorite might be a strong word for this one.
Oh. But I want you to share. Here's kind of how I phrased it and it doesn't make sense. I'll explain it.
I want you to share your favorite embarrassing fad you succumb to. So something that was popular that you gave in and did, maybe like fashion wise or appearance wise or even just like a pop culture thing that you knew was dumb but you did it anyway. So I can give some examples. Yeah.
Go ahead. Well, I just didn't know if you thought about it. Go ahead. Yeah.
Well, host is a generous term. So I've got their embarrassing pictures to support every one of these. Oh, I've never showed to you. But when I was in first grade, I had a flat top.
You're kind of flat top. How? Why were you embarrassed about that? I mean, I gave it to it.
I mean, I had a giant round. So I had a spy chair for a little while. Yeah. Wow.
I had blonde highlights and junior high. Yeah. What are you embarrassed about these things? I think you should be embarrassed about being influenced by it.
Boy, you've been in the second grade. You're a junior high man. You got a kid who can't be popular. And it was a popular bet.
It was really dumb on my head. I was 14 when new kids on the block came out. I didn't give in. I knew they were bad.
You're a bad man. I knew kids on the block was before my time. Well, I'm just not actually that way. I'm just more back.
It was more back. So there's some things that were not cool. And I did them. You guys have anything to do with that?
But they were cool at the time. They were cool. And I did them and made it not cool. But specifically.
I thought my parents were horrible for not buying me parachute pants when I wanted them. But they actually saved me from a great tragedy. I don't want my parachute pants. Your parents were buying your clothes.
What you can't tell is that Jeff is currently wearing parachute pants. Right now. He's not ashamed about it. He's not ashamed at all.
He's not ashamed at all. He's supposed to dare who's not wearing any pants. I'm wearing any pants. He's never wearing pants.
I'm going to flip top. I'm going to flip top. I'm going to flip like starting this slug from Beatle Bailey. As a child.
I got a perm when I was in high school. Jesus. Why? Okay.
Otherwise reasonable people during that time here think that a perm was okay in any fashion. Like so many men had these perms and you go, when did that sound like a good idea? What man left the barbershop going? My hair is dampened.
What's in a perm or was it like a Jerry Curl? Oh no. Jeff was in the 70s. The other guy's in my high school.
We're doing it. I did it. It looked bad. It's bad now.
It's never looked good. Except I'm the seated people. I can't see it. That's why I'm proud of my hair.
Because it's very hectic. I in junior high school, there was a time in which I was never even close to what people would call coffee. Not like you are now. Not like I am now.
But I first only wear white, gray or black. And now I'm much older. Yeah. I wear a lot of black.
I wear a lot of black. No, I wear a lot of black for a long time. My wife started buying me clothes that had some color. Hey, you need blues, reds.
I still today, if I were to buy my unclothes, it wouldn't be like this. I think me not buying my unclothes supersedes my desire for black t-shirts. She's still on the pocket tees. Jeff is currently wearing a black t-shirt.
I don't want to be a black eyeliner. That was a surprise. It doesn't look so good. He's wearing a heroic shirt.
He's wearing a heroic shirt which goes up on October 3rd at this note. November 3rd. If you go there October 3rd, you can't come see a rehearsal of Night of the Living Dead at the Playhouse. Yes.
Orocus, November 3rd and 4th. We are going to have a great show. On sale now, we're doing two school shows. If you're a teacher, bring your students or let other people know about the show.
If you're a teacher listening to this podcast right now. Oh, we have a teacher amongst us. Yeah. A pariah.
A pariah teacher. That's okay. It's all right. Where were we?
I'm going against the fashion. Perfect brain speaking. Like the slang. I started out saying things ironically.
And then all of a sudden it's part of my vocabulary and it terrifies me. You have anything else about this? Lit. Lit.
Lit. Lit. That's like getting turned. Yes, it's much like turned.
It's much like turned. But also it can just mean good. Oh, yeah. It's fine.
It's fire. Fire is before. I can test this. Because I remember my friend said I spit fire fire.
Oh, okay. Yeah. During. Because a rapper friend of mine.
No, not only you say that. Everyone. Everyone. I'm not sure if the air's looking for a rapper or a friend.
If you're listening Kevin Cross, I'm sorry. I'm terrible. Good job. Fire fire.
I'm good. I'm good. I can dig it. I don't even remember what I was going to say.
You were going to tell me something about that. I'm sure. You forgot to get the drink instead. I am still picturing different.
It's like being a lion where you don't know which one to go after. Eventually one of you will get caught. The weakest and slow. It's always interesting though.
I don't like this direction. Talking about shitty fans coming back. I think people like the language I was talking about. People start doing it ironically.
Right. And then all of a sudden it's here again. It's part of your record. I don't know what happened.
I rarely know what's happening. What I was going to say to death is now that Madeline is in middle school. By the end of this year, you'll be using words like turt, crunk, throw in shade, get in salty. I know because crunk is passing.
Oh, you already tried to use words like that? Different words? Yeah. And they know me and I tell her to talk to me in a language I understand.
Oh, so it's her job to conform to what you want. No, she can talk about what she wants. She's the man. I don't want the house.
I have problems. I've got so much of my head. I don't want to try and decipher what she means. Ever since she was born, my goal was to communicate with me so I could understand what she would say and meet her needs.
And so we taught her saying that as a baby and as soon as she could talk and make real words, she started talking to everybody. She's like, why are you talking to everybody? She's talking to me. What do you want?
We did it. We did it. Ron's gone. Oh my God.
Are you saying that you got a sign language or not real words? No, they are real words. From your mouth. In your mind, you have a written sign language and then what you learn real words.
Alright, right. Let me stop it right there. You're not a parent. I'm trying to get the mind out.
You're not a parent. I'm not telling you, I'm working out. I'm coming up to help with stuff, it's what's really good. It's not really tense in here.
I like the real words. I'm actually using other people than my child. Okay. But it's a lot more effort to use when you don't have to.
And there are more words that you can speak easily when you have language that you can use and you don't have to use your hands at the same time. Right. Right. As a parent you're always looking for the easiest way to communicate with your child and meet their understand you and you understand that because they can understand you a long time before you can understand that it's like reading their mind then I'm not a mind reader and she'd always get mad because I wasn't reading her mind it's needing her need so as soon as she could use language and she understood language well enough to speak it she started speaking gibberish which would drive me crazy and then she started speaking in tonight and now she tries to talk to me in these little in these LOL text message stuff like that which drives me bananas I don't every time somebody does that to me I don't know what the hell they mean because I don't use them I don't read them and so I'm standing there trying to figure out what she's saying I just use some language right this morning no no no no no I'm not even kidding I didn't say it was proper English language but it is certainly like no don't make me decode what you're saying that's all I'm saying if she spoke a different language that'd be cool that'd be fun but she's making me decode what she's saying you were just throwing shade on the kids well don't you know don't throw it there no no whatever you do this morning she I had opened this package and she told me I could throw this piece of trash that I had my hand in the GV I'm going what the hell is it GV it's garbage garbage garbage garbage bowl by the same okay and she calls it the GP but I there's so many things in my head at this moment that trying to figure out what a GB isn't she had this conversation with her laughing at me but she we trying to decode a GB into a garbage bin it most of my hand is a different images of pizza yeah yeah what what's your favorite well we were just talking about Denver South pizza yeah what explain this pizza is it's a thicker pizza okay like like a Chicago style but with not the inverted toppings of charcoises right right and the crust what makes it unique is the crust is like a flakier almost a croissant oh when you get through with the topping section as cheese and medicine you've left with a crust and you drizzle honey on top of it what and it's it's own dessert it's own dessert road trip to roach and Bo Joe's and that I'm off for going Colorado yeah but you're listening to this for you please do I know I know well Giordano sells pizza they'll mail it to you we should try it we should try it all right all right this is like an interesting interesting old has it has it Jared has it been interesting so far yeah because you're still out in your seat I don't know Jeff my perspective's all fucked up right now I'm not drinking virgals we're here I did this in the front seat I'm not my normal chair huh this is a great and we just remind you that do wakes okay yeah drinks only can I show up after two days we do in tech at the hard game play I was not really working but everybody's asked me like what do I do and I'm like ask somebody who knows what they're doing and then I pull up here today and just like oh we just got to put the wheels on this thing I'm like right I don't want to do I'm gonna take work and I'm like I have to beat it with you people anyway we love you so what's your topic so we always have a question here every week someone brings a topic or on rings gibberish I'm actually speaking in tongues and if you guys care you would you would learn it the power the power of Christ compels me that's what I want so that's what I want so we can be what I want to be a question I'm afraid you're not too quickly there's no answer there's no right answer right it's our opinion this is a correct answer because I'm doing an actual report oh is that what we're doing now okay I don't know what you're doing I never really know what you're doing oh show is killing me softly with its song so here's my question which bands greatest hits was the best-selling album of the 20th century boys are called the alan Parsons project definitely not that one to guess beetles it's awesome it's always a space boss and it's always known it's a great I'm glad that we haven't got no yet but I'm afraid we get to quickly it's the animals it's it's it's my clothes it's a Ron and has to be Ava I'll remind you I'm doing this I am Ross it's a topic I'm doing just the hips I'm just gonna walk away now it's a big brother than the whole right since they're not in attention Jeff I'll direct us to you okay they were really popular in 70s the basic roller no no journey was it journey I'm so disappointed I'm doing this definitely it's a big boy it's a big boy Drake we listen to you by the way here who we listen to the way here and the way home last night and the way home is that one of their songs and the way home there's a long road and the way oh oh the Eagles I just thought certainly that's too easy and that's why I'm like they're gonna get this really quickly did you know that the only and Glen Frey used to live upstairs from a Jack's from me from a business when I was rooming with Jack's and Jack's about how I know he was downstairs playing the piano and I saw the history I was in the room I was there I heard every within one time no no you get it no I damn it you bring him in with his lies and his collusion and his invasion of the body snazzy fuck you great all right when where oh okay I usually don't get to ask me as such a such a suggestion they were asked you know I heard that you there are parts of your touring days that you don't remember because of drugs what was that he said oh yeah I think that was your wall check I think that was your wall check well well because he was he was the key known as the Eagles are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1971 the founding members were Glen Frey on the guitar Lee vocals Don Henley on drums and Lee vocals burning leaden on guitars and vocals and Randy Meisner bass guitar vocals original Oh milk toast Randy Meisner who didn't want to start a fight but have that beautiful high voice with five hundred singles six Grammy awards five American music awards and six number one albums and Eagles were one of the successful musical acts of the 1970s I was not around 1970s so I can't attest to their popularity but no you can listen you can listen they're on the radio constantly even you know you know the 80s in the Colorado yeah all we had all we had the angles not very easily no it was a small radio station like more than exposure oh no in creek Colorado back in the small down Colorado yeah well we're back to that small down what's driving through what's your drive to the mound you lose all radio you can't get the signal until you get into once you got into creed itself it opened up because the mountain because you had a little bit of a valley there and but you know it was it was catch can you never have a good signal you get some signals often it was country or gospel sometimes you get wrong but it wasn't very great I went on a road trip in 2005 we got to Colorado and this was I guess before satellite radio station still weren't that strong and we were driving south from Colorado Springs to Canyon City got a little lost after a road and we could not get any radio reception we have a video of us pushing the tuning button and we just go all the way around come back to one station we had and we swore it was a creepy dude playing piano with a basement because it was just a piano oh that's the best so we're like this guy's probably looking at us right now I don't really scope and it was kind of frightening like we're against you all right there were never around me county else there was old people guys and y'all don't want to drop down that road don't take them girls down there anyway I actually I watched it takes a chance on the big screen at the theater yesterday so that there's your art type right there of the guy who said no I don't know Ron still says architect I like our post-A's as opposed to the letter E that's in there I think it actually always are not like you don't want I'm lazy okay I respect their honesty the Eagles greatest hits the other 20th century the their greatest hits from 1971-75 hotel California were ranked in 20 best-selling albums in the US from that century hotel California is ranked 37th and rolling stone listed at 500 greatest albums of all time and the band was ranked I think this is disappointing 75 on the two thousand list of the 100 days are sold under only five right now artists are okay but still I want to read this list who's on well you can look up it's really I'm not gonna go that number one was the beat okay they were on top 10 who was not who was not the top 20 well this is a major round line yeah I didn't see that I didn't see data Bowie on the list which means that's where he is yeah oh yeah so the Eagles were saying I looked at the top 20 see like who was above it and there were a lot of my history like a lot of artists like that like a original round breaking Marvin Gaye was out there right so I was disappointed that we're on top 20 as well but he was a lot of people I'm biased because it's my third animal time right so the reason I was kind of strange I grew up listening to classic rock my father like that a lot so listen to a lot of my mother as well so I listened to a lot of that I took a trip to Australia right early 2000s I was young and I took a city player but I forgot to pack any cities so I have no music but it's a place we get we landed the airport and there was a little league of those duty free shops right now and I was looking for some cheese and they had help reasons over oh I bought that seat because I knew that my father had that one so I bought that so I bought that to me I wore it out yeah that's a great album so don't that one have the the California that's not I don't like that version okay I don't care for it I'm just married to the original that's only yeah this one's a little more a little more other kind of complex or samba yeah so do you guys have any favorite Eagles songs because I feel like they're all lion eyes yeah I was hearted tonight that's one of my favorites the lollipop loser I love the lollipop my favorite is one that's popular one's called learn to be still I don't know yeah it's not when they got a radio player when I went to their concert in 2013 my father they didn't play that they played for three hours almost non-stop and hit after hit ever hit and I didn't think that was gonna be played because I knew nothing cool about this it's such a chill song yeah I like the boys of summer yeah no no it's not yeah I don't have to agree I'm really like I didn't know that come on guys come on oh yeah I say with Eagles song okay that's fine he was an eagle I'm going to play in my family my favorite I also like the Greeks don't what no freaks I love this bro I love this bro that's how you sing that to my wife all the time pretty maids own a row oh seven seven bridges row that's gorgeous yeah I just I really love the harmonies I love a lot of music about their music fly like an eagle the Joker no I hate the Miller band so that can't be them take the money and run right no no it's not that one that goes to the jump in the winter time when all the other round no no no I'm talking about a rolling stone no other band it is much to translate the explosively creative politicized rock of the 1960s into the massively popular deep politicized rock of the 1970s and Eagles I don't know that means but it sounds really cool I think it just means that they were not topical they're not topical non-threatening it was a good time it was a good time it was a good time and the fun it's like they're gonna tell the country the country west was rock none of them were the west guys yeah but that west coast sound that's it yeah and they moved out there and got used to it I'll get a second coming from it specializing in broadly appealing masterfully crafted tunes the Southern California band has sold more than 100 million albums 1976 compilation their greatest hits 7175 was the first album ever certified platinum and it sold 29 million copies in the US second only my projects thriller on the old time wow that specific album yeah they group originally sprouted from LA's country rock scene the four original Eagles were already experienced professionals when they were assembled as Linda Ron stands back up and I just I look a little research as to what they the individual did before the Eagles I'm not gonna tell you every name they did right but I love some of the names they advanced they played in before they all got together Lipton had played in Dillard and Clark Expedition I was in there and the flying burrito brothers yes yes Meisner playing with Poco and Rick Nelson's Stone Canyon band for I had played with various Detroit rock bands including Bob Seagurs and here's a band Long Branch Penny Whistle played the Penny Whistle I knew he played the Penny Whistle for Long Branch Penny Whistle with JD Souther sometimes on right and Henley had been with the Transplated Texas group Shiloh after working with Ron's dad Henley and Friday's I had formed the Eagles recruiting the lead in the Meisner so I want to are there any band names you know like the music we just like the name of the band because I looked up some funny band names the flying burrito brothers I don't like them and I think I like Poco I mean are there any others from you the Pantheon of history like a dumb band name or funny band name to you okay blueies are called because I mean really like I like them a lot I look up some what do you got we got so but whole surfers yeah yeah I heard that there are a couple here I had not heard though I like punk I like punk well I have one I did a ukulean banjo cover and in a great and my roommate and I got some guys together and did it and he played you got some songs I played on some songs and I was Lee vocals but and we had a friend played and we had a home which was a box drum I got and that's a tragic story and that's why I got skittish on tech week thank you bad names the first week we played it was just Drake just right just the word break yeah and a lot of people came expecting hip-hop and I was confused oh but so we went on to be Drake's beer in love but thrown in the mix was break in the moist boys great and moist moist and so I throw that in to make most of you uncomfortable good and I'm talking to our listeners oh no no no no no no no we're not talking to you know what if they are listening they're doing dishes right now they're not really paying attention if Shelby Brown listened to that episode she played a good enough little no I think it made her voice and the voice boys retweeted us there is a man there's a voice voice so a couple others and these are some ones I knew and the August and one that I like the dead kind of these I like that name who was thank who was that I love I love my name because of the name too because of the name but it's like a number chumble lumber chumble one who did something yeah and here's something I didn't actually know the string cheese incident oh yeah I did not know that one Natalie Portman shaped head which is from my favorite movie here in the net I never heard that one beautiful even with a show so I'm sure you're listening now you're married enough I think she's not I don't and she gave them up she gave up she doesn't matter it's not a Jewish is she well then she's from me yeah yeah but I'm Jewish no you're not the whole in the she's the whole in the she role that you can think you can imagine exists yeah you can imagine a hole in the she loophole there's a hole in the hole there's a hole in the hole regarding all of this the first thing is being uncomfortable the first thing is being a couple of the sheets I can't believe that's even as you gently press my feet no okay we were promised we were promised jetpack big head to the monsters my personal favorite I can lick any son of a bitch of the house that's an Irish band isn't it it has to be a Celtic health ex-law band but I actually it always dreamed of having a band even though I have no talent and completely capable by instrument and my voice isn't good enough to leave a band I want to be called shades of gray because I just thought it's a cool name because great my color got some some mean to it and that was bastardized so I can't do that no longer yeah how was it that's really really oh 50 shades of bullshit that's what it is so that's gone now anyway getting to where the Eagles got their yeah they have not settled on a band name yet they performed their first show October 1971 well one question you're a little ahead of me but this first show was under the name of Teen King and the emergencies okay now I get that I'm actually pragmatic man at a club called the gallery in Aspen yeah Don Felver credited leading with originating the name of Eagles for the band during a peyote into Keelah and the group out in the Mojave Desert when he recalled reading about the Hopes reverence for the Eagle some accounts though very with a jade south of suggesting the eagle came when Fry shouted Eagles when they saw Eagles flying above Steve Martin a friend of the band from the earliest of the tour recounted his autobiography that he suggested they should be referred to as the Eagles but Fry insisted that the group's name is simply Eagles well I like you know that you mentioned on Belver yeah really the the peacemaker of the group the guy who would never get a fight with a right with a helene they rise yeah was a good friend but they were like I'm talking to you get to that yeah yeah and they were friends with me I'm a big speaking of Peyote and Tequila ron tell us what your culture oh it was fairly well filled with with Peyote and Tequila and that's why I don't I don't have a degree I'm very educated yeah I actually listen in class I just you know didn't go little in fact about Ron he can paint with all the colors of the wind that's true that's true and I can take people on an expedition I can make the hills and the valleys and the high's and the high's and the whatnots in the hills and the hills and the hills are things with the sound of all I love it okay the Eagles recorded their eponymous debut album with producer Glenn Johnson England who is famed for working with the Rolling Stones and the Beatles the Beatles bonus points anyone who can tell what the most means it's everywhere it's almost like a big one no by it means their name and so named when I say their apartment a album means the debut album was called so Drake is portraying the eponymous character in the contract of the film oh oh the guy the titular obviously helping some with the kitchen I don't expect you to replace to do it but you expect me to read I'm sorry I'm really I'm still about this I'm still about down on Ron the art on earth is on the run it's like the freaking twilight zone in here it's like I left the twilight's and I'm like this normal world is ridiculous it's actually like Drake is actually wearing the same building shirt it's like single white it's like you're looking back on this is your life moments I'm gonna portray you in your life we're gonna finish this episode I'm gonna go out for a smoke and come in and drink something like where the hell were you you close actually we're gonna take you up back and put you down and then I'm gonna take up smoking continue the legacy you were in for a super life my friend let me tell you released on June 1st 1972 Eagles was a breakthrough success yielding three top forty six I got right the first time off take it easy written by for a Jackson Brown Friday and Jackson Brown gold shortly after its release as did the album another single which you won't reach number nine on the bill chart that year this was followed by the soft country rock ballad peaceful easy feeling oh that's a good thing we're gonna do that a lot I think yeah they have somebody hit somebody hit the concert every song came on even if I know every lyric I was saying along to we were like with Fleetwood Mac as well yeah until Tuscane along and I was like and I feel like at this concert I was the only one under the age of 40 I was in my pocket in 2020 and an old age on the grand set your son knows all these songs I'm saying tell me stop saying it ain't gonna happen so the group support the album with the US tour and the opening act for yes yeah I'm a fan of her album quite different bands yeah I'm trying to grab there on my head right now I can't get their second album Desperado released April 17th 1973 and took old West Outlaws for its theme it was kind of like oh yeah the whole thing was was a long comparisons between their lifestyles and modern rock so which I'm sure just added to the West Coast rock persona that they were you know that they received from the media when did the other band members join we're coming up on some of that here second yeah but Desperado was their first to showcase the expansion for conceptual songwriting it was during his recording session 10 lead fry first begin writing together they co-wrote eight of the albums 11 songs including Tequila Sunrise and Desperado to the most popular songs yeah the album was less successful than it was first reaching only number 41 on the bill for top 200 and you only two singles Tequila Sunrise which we which reached number 61 on the Hot 100 and Outlaw man which is not one of actually familiar with No I'm not kidding either.
Henley and Fry called wrote the book of the album that we continue for years to come but that marked a significant change for the band the pair also began to dominate in terms of leadership and the early assumption had been that Leed and Meisner as a better musician without a group of them. Well that's really not true at all. No. Henley and Fry boy they were the Solomon and Mussolini of the Eagles.
That was the last time we skipped back a little bit though. That's not how we did this question. We never would ever have. If you could read the guidelines for the show then I'd like to say my chair to take my microphone.
But no it's okay. You think so you want to stop. It's free country. It's actually quite a bit.
That's true. I like to take things that aren't mine and then just take my chair. It's an empty, it's an empty flame totally. Ron can lick any son of a bitch in the house.
That's true. Yeah I've got a good time for that. The question is because I'm not really mixed to a long point of time. It's a very long point of time.
It's a very long point of time. Exactly what I'm going to call it. The only person is young is not a big one. It's not a big one right now.
Wait a minute. Who's on topic? Who's on topic right now? It was the osmo of languages and noises there for a minute.
I'm not going to say. I still have one to ask. I want to go back and listen to that section again. To listen to the other conversation.
See if they can pick up both. I actually realized that Jeff and I were speaking backwards. I was like, yeah, exactly. This is the anti-malade.
I do want to drink as his question though because I can't answer. I'm not really familiar with mixed drinks. You've come to write people. Tequila sunrise.
It's a song name for the drink name for the song. The drink name first. It's making a semblance. No, no.
The orange juice. Tequila and the red one, grenadine. You think I would make up. Everything, everything.
You made up. You can't say that. I can't do that. Jared says he can beat up a werewolf all the time but it gives him shit.
You know what? You should have never dreamed about it. I guess we do. But I grabbed that tornado and the tornado thanked me.
Nature thanked me. I watched Molano last night. I really identify with Maui. I feel that I'm very malleous.
No, I thought it was assumed. I was a demi-god. I don't think I have to post it on a t-shirt and nothing like that. Look at that hair, listen to him.
It's fantastic. He must be a demigod. I'm like, you're right. So you say you'll put on a t-shirt and get your current t-shirt says I'm a demigod on it.
You know what? Because this one has a pocket. I always have to have pocket for my smokes. With On the Borders released March 22nd, 1974 with Eagle Change Producers bringing in Bill...
...Zimazic and Zic? Oh, Bill, Zimazic. Can I spell this for you? No.
C-Y-M-C-Z-Y-K. Oh, that's Zimazic and Zic. Zimazic and Zic. Zimazic and Zicazic.
Zimazic and Zicazic. Zimazic and Zicazic. Zimazic and Zicazic. Zimazic and Zicazic.
Zicazic. Zicazic. I have to do it all. There's a Polish name.
Yeah. And I'm also an Amistorist Don Felder who went to high school with Leeten in Gainesville, Florida. And once gave you an R-less, it's two other Gainesville High School class. Don Felder.
Don Felder. Don Felder. Don Felder. Don Felder.
Don Felder. Don Felder. Don Felder. Don Felder.
Don Felder. Before Tom Petty was famous, Josh and Steph Adtani was a drummer. And so we called him up and said, hey, there's some guys in town. He went over to my house and he walked in the door.
He played drums for Tom Petty. Before Tom Petty was Tom Petty. He was actually one of my favorite artists. He was Tom Petty then.
That's what we love about Tom Petty. So on the borders, it brings the emphasis on rock and, in fact, more listeners. Mid-1976 included Best of My Love, which reached number 175. One of these nights.
One of these nights. Number 175. Lion Eyes. And take it to the limit.
That's another one. One good album. You know, all these bands, they have maybe two good songs on an album, but you have the Eagles just, and despite what anybody else in this room thinks about Fleetwood Mac, Rumors is one of the most perfect albums. Now shut up.
Let's give them up. Okay. Alright. This new emphasis on rock, Alien and Aide Leed, who preferred the country sound.
So after one of these nights, Leed and Left the Band performed the Burning and Leed Michael George Yaddis Band, which as we all know, was the great choice on his part. Number three on Rolling Stones. That's the best band of the year. So Leed and replaced officially announced on his September 20th 1975 with guitarist singer and keyboardist Joe Walsh.
Oh Joe. He's been a friend of the band for some years. His Eagles debut was the album Hotel California. And that would be okay.
I think that would be smart. They're third and second and one album. So so. Right.
The second was the record breaking 1976 race hit the convolution. These songs New Kid in Town, The Time Track Hotel California, and Life in the Fast Linked, which spurred sales of more than 16 million copies of old one. Not bad in 1977. Not bad.
Not bad. Although the Eagles are greatest in town, they could just be like a package of older albums. Really, really good. You're just so solid.
Like there's not bad song on it. I do have a problem with New Kid in Town because I didn't get right for it for it. I'm wrong. I'm wrong.
I don't know why that was given away. The chicken circles were done. The chicken circles were done. They talked about California was the one where they shot the cover in Antone of the Ace home, I believe.
So everybody's like, oh, his friends with Antone of the name. The rumor was just by the band and later by Handley in the 2013 film History of the Eagles, the American band, and Handley told 16 minutes in 2007 that it's basically a song about the dark underbelly of the American dream, about excess in America, which was something we knew a little about. Yeah, that makes sense. Because watching these interviews, they'll talk about Joe Walsh in particular, just how hard he partied in the seventies when he was in his house.
Yeah, he was in his house. I was jumping in. They're mid twenties and they're just trashing hotel rooms and destroying places. There was one story that Walsh told, actually, people told me about it.
Where he was in a hotel room, I think it was Don Henley, back to Glen Frine, and Glen won a good bed and went to open his door. So Joe Walsh just tore the wall down. Nice. Broke through the wall.
They had the money for it. That's what they said. We had the money for it. So we had the money for him.
Yeah, it was a part 11. It was a part 11. Also from this album, Life in the Fastlane has a pretty cool origin story which I like. Glen Frine reminisced in their documentary.
I was writing Shot Van the Corbett with a drug dealer on the way to poker game. Wow. The next thing I know we're doing 90. Holy big time.
I say, hey man. I say, hey, you're going to go to Life in the Fastlane. I thought, no, there's a song title. There's a song.
There's a song. And then Glen Frine's wife later on was like, it's called in here and he goes, the heat is on. And then he goes, oh, oh, I think I'm going to break away from the Eagles and write this song because the heat is on. Great.
Did that not happen? That might happen. I felt like it did. Hotel California.
Both of your facts said they feel good. Alternative facts. I'm not feeling good. Yeah, I'll throw out alternative facts.
I'll throw out alternative facts. The best of the right way. Hotel California is the last album to teach your founding member Randy Meisner who had probably left the band behind after the 1977 tour. The band was suffering from the strength of the band.
The band was suffering from the strength of the band. Meisner's stomach ulcers had flirted out on the time they arrived in New York. The band had been struggling to hit the crucial high notes in his signature song, Take It to the Limit. And was unwilling to perform the song.
The band replaced Meisner with the same musician who succeeded him in BOCO, Timothy B. Schmitt, after Greenness Schmitt, with the only came up. He is my favorite. He's an excellent, great concert.
He's an excellent. He's an excellent player. And when they introduced him at the concert, I went to the stage, he's the guy who plays down low and sings with the high because he has high vocals on most of the stuff. Yeah, but I still don't think he.
I like Randy Meisner. Yeah. Well, that's true. Largely.
I like Meisner's sound a little bit. I understand. I like Schmitt's looking at long hair. I like people at long hair.
Yeah, but you must. You must. The other two wild guards. The Eagles went back to work in 1977 to begin their next album, The Long Run.
A pro-plant dial, the album took two years to complete. It was originally to be a double album, but the band members were unable to write enough songs. The album was released on September 24, 1979. Considered a disappointment by some critics for failing to live up to hotel in California.
It proved a huge commercial hit nonetheless. The album topped the charts and sold 7 million copies. In addition, it included three top ten singles. The Long Run?
Part eight tonight. The last single to top the Hot 100 on November 10, 1979. The titles were acting the one you mentioned. And I can't tell you why.
Oh, that's such a good song. Oh, such a pretty song. The band won their fourth Grammy for the song, Hardy, tonight. The band's stew of Strong Personality's finally born over in 1980, notably at a show in Long Beach, California.
This is the show. That has since been done a long day at Rome Beach. I love this story. During which Fry and Felder spent the entire show telling each other about the beating each player during this show.
But during this show, I'm going to fucking kill you after that. The examples are only three more songs until I kick your ass down. I recall Felder telling him to give me the end of the set. Felder calls for I telling him during Best of My Love.
I'm going to kick your ass and get off the stage. In November 1980, the band released Eagles Live, telling their contract with a lecker records. The album's liner no thread. Thank you and good night.
With that, the Eagles were finished. They were done. And so I'm going to tell you, re-united in 1985 for the Beverly Hills pop soundtrack. In which other songs, okay, I'll stop.
Sorry. No, I'm not going to. I'm not going to stop. Jeff, you're the voice of reason always.
That is my role. You've been awfully silent today. Well, we've got three wild cards right here. How am I supposed to get a word I did it wise?
You think I'm a club? You're the biggest club to beat us. I'm a separateist. Turn on the host.
Do whatever you have to do. Grandma Madeline play a little song. Can that happen? Can that happen right now?
Actually, I don't know what to do. Jeff is a third of them. A third of them. Oh, so you just sort of touch him.
You're well-comedy. You're well-comedy. You're well-comedy. You have a du-dude.
You need some du-dude. No, but I have a... ... kind of guy that thinks...
... there's a du-dude. ... that's a pretty good time.
I really want to learn how to play the accordion in the worst way. Yeah, in the corner right there. You want to play that? Hot crumb, I got crumb.
Mary had a little lamb. I got it. I remember muscle memory. It's muscle memory.
After the Eagles broke up, the four-ringers pursued solo careers. There's a lot of details about all the same. No, nothing. But I didn't get into those.
I don't know what I was doing. Probably the greatest success. The boys of summer are one of them. The boys of summer are one of them.
The boys of summer are one of them. The boys of summer are one of the boys of the boys of summer. And the boys of summer are one of the boys of summer. And the boys of summer are one of the boys of the boys of summer.
They brought in Sammy Hagar. He licked every son of a bitch in a house. Sammy Hagar brought in. I love Van Halen with Sammy Hagar so much better than...
I like the Van Halen 70s, that kind of stuff ice cream, whatever album that was. I don't like any of their stuff before it jumped. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it.
I enjoyed it. Yeah, it was a good album. It had three songs on it. But also David Lee Roth's last album.
But when Sammy Hagar came in, it felt like their sound was better. Sammy Hagar was a much better singer than David Roth. That's true. That's true.
And their songs were more solidly written lyrically without deadly rock lyrics. I'm so glad we learned something about it today. Having four people is dangerous because it's so easy to slip into conversations. Yeah, it is.
We had got a singing jump in the background. Oh, so that was the background? Back in the background. I also think Steve Perry leaving Durney was a tragedy.
Oh, there was nothing else? Okay. Steve Perry? No.
Steve Perry was not the only person to leave Durney though. They went down to only three of their members. Steve Perry left and did his solo album. Oh, Sherry, it's such a good song.
Well, but it's only album. He had like three hits off that album. We had a trap out there. But then his trap.
But when bands break up, they break up for a reason. Like when the Beatles broke up. Yeah. When the Beatles broke up, and I can talk about Beatles for a whole session.
Sure. No, I know. No, I know. No, we don't get to talk about Beatles.
But, you know, people were broken up because, well, the Beatles, they broke it up and it's a great band and stuff. And they had great music. But by the time they broke up, they can't know where else to go as a Beatles. And they couldn't, you know, they, unlike a lot of bands get locked into not being in the bubble They only have them sold with because there's so many bands trying to do.
But nothing like the Beatles. And the only way they could be free to live their own lives was to break up the band. I was not saying what I think is a good example of like representing what it's like to be those artists who are stuck being what they are, seem to be, is misery. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. I want you to do the character. You got to write in this specific way.
You got to sing these specific songs. That's fun. But make it sound like it. It's new.
I don't like it. In 1998, the Eagles were inducted into the Rockville Hall of Fame. All seven, past and present members of the band performed together for the first time at the induction ceremony. I didn't put a whole lot in here, but there was a lot of legal trouble in the early 2000s.
Right. The Felder and some of the other ones. Well, yeah, it was copyright issues. Who won the rights of these songs?
See, I passed that on the 30th 2007. The Eagles released Long Road Out of Eden. Do you guys, are you familiar with that album? I'm not.
I was playing it for Drake. The two, two, he said, I love it. I love it. It's not every song I hit on there, but I really do like all of this.
It is different than what you, when you think of Eagles. It's not. Who was involved with that album? I think it's pretty awesome.
I don't know if the five of the fellas are part of it. I'm sure it's like a pry, Henley, Walsh and Schmidt were the part of the manual. I remember, and I could be wrong. When they came back, when they came back, they brought it back up in instrumental as well.
Well, I think when Glen Fridaiga, I was upset that they never got to patch things up between one another. I think I should have got to go with it. Oh, it's Glen Fridaiga. I guess it would be, wouldn't it?
Absolutely. So, think Glen Fridaiga. No, not there. Oh, were we, did he not die at the end of it?
But Long Road Out Eden was their first album of all the materials in 1979. Wow. 2007 from 1910 of their first all new album. Holy cow.
The first year of the album released, it was available in the US, only the event's website, at, and I love this. Walmart. And it saves club tours. That was the only place you could get other than online.
Really? But, I read a little story that other retailers bought the CDs and bought the sell throw out. Long Road Out Eden became their third studio album. And it's seventh release overall, it's certified at least seven times platinum by the recording industry association.
I didn't know, I didn't know this thing. The Eagles won their fifth Grammy in 2008 in the category Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by Duol Orgour with Vocals for How Long, which does have a country field to it. Yeah. They get so on.
In February 2013, the Eagles released a career spanning documentary called History of the Eagles. And that was the name of the tour that I saw. After screening at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival in January at Airdon Showtime in February and was released in April on DVD and Blu-Ray with a third disc and made eight songs from the band's performance at the Capitol Center in March 1977. And then the concert tour that was named in took place from 2013 to 2015 as in North America Europe and Oceania, Oceania, Oceania, Australia, Australia, Australia, Australia, Australia, New Zealand, North.
On January 18th, 2016, founding Never Glenfry passed away at the age of 67, leaving Don Hendley as the only remaining original member. According to the website, the causes of his death were remittor of Rydus, acute ulcerative colitis and pneumonia while recovering from intestinal surgery. Goodness. At the 58th annual Grammy Awards in February of 2016, the Eagles joined by Lee Perfry performed Take It Easy in Honor of Fry.
In subsequent interviews, Hendley said that he didn't think the band would perform again. However, in March 2017, it was announced that the band would be headlining the Classic West and Classic East concert dance in 2017 in July that year. Don Hendley confirmed in May 16th 2017 that Glenfry's son Deacon would be performing the end of the place, along with another surprise musician. It was subsequently announced that Ben Scil performed along with the Eagles of the two of the ladders.
At the Classic West concert... It's going to be happening though, the Suns are over doing it. I think the Who, the Who is like Roger Daltry's son or the Counts and Suns are like that. I think the band was joined by Bob Seager, who was a heartache tonight, which he co-wrote and Deacon Fry was noted for his composure and precision.
Very good Deacon Fry. My report on the Eagles is my favorite band of all time. Well that was an excellent report. Thank you.
Especially for multiple things that were happening at one time. Right. Do you have any questions for us? About the Eagles?
Sure. No. Drake. Do you have any questions?
No Ron, I think it's what you meant to say. I think fake Ron. I'm so shiny over here. I know it's like leaning.
I think it's like other things that are just like steaming. Just wait for the Soul Darkens. That's what you're making Soul Darkens. That's what happens to you.
Is that why your hair is that color? It's a dark soul. It's exactly like this color. We're blonde.
Which is actually true. And then I turned. Corrupted. I turned bad.
I turned into a bad guy. A bong dong. We should make a movie about that. You're turning there.
Like a prequel story. How you did it? I turned it straight. I became the reaper.
Not long turn. Ron turn. You know, I did, I was Reaper for like, I don't know, 15 years. Reaper Jones.
