Here we are. Welcome. Hi, it's Tuesday. Welcome, my wife.
Oh, hi. Love you. Hi, I'm Bobby. I need to use Tuesday.
Couldn't make Monday. Gotta be Tuesday. Tiny Tunes Tuesday. Yup, today is the day I start to get a handle on some things.
Hey, me too. Yeah, it's a day. After I had my first espresso this morning, I felt a great burst of optimism, which was unusual because I woke up with some dark thoughts as I do. I'm not really excited about that development of my life, like waking up with dark thoughts.
Like first thing in the morning. First thing in the morning. Hi. Yeah, think about something that's depressing.
Really bad. Like bad. Yeah. Yeah.
And worry about people. Oh my gosh. I, yeah. But you know, this is a really, this is going to be a good tiny Tunes Tuesday.
Good distraction for anyone else who maybe has worry in their life or struggle. Sure. Sure. Sure.
This is a wonderful diversion. Largely has a lot to do with our little girl. Is he? Is he bang bang barlow?
Graced the Ron Prussian studio. Incredible. The other day. I'm excited.
There she is. What? This is fun for me because I didn't get to like get a preview. And your best friend.
But guess what? I like slipper trees. I have my own slipper tree. It's just a little bit of a local improv.
What's a slipper tree? It's, it's the song that she sings. I started work. Oh, okay.
We got a new van. Yeah. Sure. We told everybody.
Old van at 2011. Toyotasiana. Silver toi with a CD player. Yes.
So I have a lot of CDs to draw from. So I'm trying to think of like what CDs to put in a car and in the van. And one of the first CDs I grabbed was a double CD by a band called the Equals. Okay.
Who started in England. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
The lead singer, one of the singers is Eddie Corran. Okay. Who we know from the 80s. Oh, don't we're gonna go to the timing.
Oh, yeah. We're gonna do it. This is the third one. Stop.
Stop. Meet Shark Cryoglo, the new med spa inspired mask with under eye cooling, IQ, LED technology using high powered LED and deep infrared for visible results in just eight weeks.

Oh, whoa, whoa. So I had this double CD. The best of the equals is actually called First Among Equals. Anyone wants to look for it.
Because I love the equals. They have so many good songs. They are truly one of the real hidden gems of the 1960s. This band that was composed of three black men and two white guys who were teenagers and all met on where they lived.
Where was that? In London. Oh, maybe come back that people probably know. Yeah, I love that song.
They were teenagers and they all met. And I had this song to police on my back. Incredible song. The clash covered it.
But they were kids. Where are these kids? That's amazing. Living in London just in the same like housing project.
Wow. And a council estate. Black and white kids, they got together and they formed a band. And like the original lineup up the band had fucking bonafide hits and they got really big in it.
They got really big in Germany. And I just love their music. It's so elemental and catchy and just every course like Eddie Grant wrote a lot of the songs. I think they wrote it all together.
There's a real sense of like cooperation in the music. And if you see footage of them from, it's just incredible. So I was getting reacquainted with the equals while bombing around in our new minivan, our new old minivan. Yeah.
And the boat. The boat. And I just heard Michael on the slippery tree game, which I've always thought was one of the funniest songs I've ever heard. And just like, what is this?
I mean, like what a real tossed off song with like really kind of nebulous lyrics about this, this tree that grows shoes. Weird. But apparently. So I just kept thinking I just would not leave my mind.
I'm like, Oh shit, I got to cover this song. I have to do this. I have to get I have to get the song out. So I did it.
And then I thought, Hey, maybe when Izzy comes back from camp, she'll be back in vocals. But I was not super optimistic about it because it's hard to really get her in here and subject her to the amount of concentration that it takes to do. But she came in. I was like, I kind of did the music for it.
I'm like, okay, well, I did that. And let's see. She's interested. And she fucking she said in here for about 15 minutes, just did vocal take after like four vocal takes.
But she was adamant about using my little box that makes her voice sound like a cartoon. Adam about him. I'm like, I would really like to just capture your natural vocals. Is he just getting that?
And I'm like, she's having none of it. She's like only going to sing through the crazy box that makes her sound like a cartoon. So she did she did too that way. And I was like, Okay, well, this is cool.
And then I put I'm like, can you want to do another one? She's like, sure. So I put another mic next to her. So she did the cartoon voice in her normal voice.
And we did two of those. And then she's like, you know, it's cool. And then I hadn't really hear what she did because we did it quickly. And I didn't want to get too specific about it.
And I didn't want to kill the buzz, basically, because yeah, keep the vibe going. Us musicians. I mean, for the fact that he's such a joyous, collaborative thing, when we get done to the minutiae of it, it can become very, very dry. But I was like, I got to keep this quick.
And so then I listened to what she had done and sang. And it was fucking great. And I barely edited any of it. I just added my.
I like to run in the sun. I like to be okay. I am okay. I like to run in the sun.
So she had, she's after she did the vocals, she'd just stayed in here with the headphones on, singing through the box and moving all the levers to change her voice. And I went back and listened to that tune. That's an excerpt from that. Wow.
That was really sweet. Did she just say that? Or was that part of the song? She decided.
This is the improv. Is it right? Is it orange? Is it green?
Is it pink? It's blue? It's blue. It's blue.
It's blue. Moving the levers. Well, the on the magic box VT1 vocal transformer box. Okay.
So I just got like this really cool. I got my driver's permit and then I decided, you know, I really want to get my driver's permit. I want to kind of go and just go to a vintage store. That's an impression of a 15 year old.
Her brother. Yes. Oh my goodness. So yeah, Michael in the Slipper Tree.
A 1969 recording by the equals. Eddie Grant was probably 19 when he did that one. He was 17 when the band started. Eddie is from Guiana and the band had a terrible accident, a car accident.
They were on the car and Eddie got, was the most severely injured. Oh no. And because of consequences of that accident and the illness, you know, the sort of sicknesses and illness that came after that in the recuperation, he had to move back to Guiana. Oh wow.
And he continued to write songs for the band. But the band, the band kind of continued until 1979. Really? Wow.
And Eddie went on to do electric avenue in the 80s. That's what we know him for. Yeah. Yeah.
God, can that guy write a chorus? I was like, wow. This equals greatest hits record. It stands really, the songs are so catchy.
It's like the troggs or the kinks or yeah, it's right up there. It's bands that just in the 60s that just generated these huge choruses and were it was very simple. But the music was very simple. And I just, you know, simple can be very hard.
I really, I really enjoyed discovering the equals again. And when I heard Izzy, I had asked her, you know, I kind of led up to it. Like, if he went to sing, that's cool, but I didn't say anything. No pressure.
Mm hmm. But then I heard her singing the song herself. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. I kind of gave this a shot, you know. Yeah.
Boy, she brings like a whimsy to it. She like, I didn't know while it was happening. I was just like doing it and kind of singing behind her to kind of keep, you know, sure where the parts were and stuff and yeah, real minimal dad nitpicky stuff. Good job, Dan.
I know that's hard. It's hard. You want to keep the, you want to keep the joy flowing. And she really does love to sing.
Oh my gosh, she loves to sing. Yeah. So Michael's slipper tree. Well, and she's been telling us how she, she's kind of like dabbling with, you know, just these thoughts as a little creative kid.
Do I want to have a creative school that I go to, you know, she's starting to think more about that stuff. Yeah. That concludes another delightful episode of Tiny Tunchy. Absolutely delightful.
Musical subsidiary of the Ron Prussian podcast. Next year. I would start another year before she. Oh, I know.
I know. Can I say one thing? Oh, yeah. I just hearing that made me really overwhelmed because there's so many families right now who are waiting for their little girls to come home from sleep, a white camp in Texas and they're not going to come home or and you know, we picked up our little girl and she's home and she's, so I just kind of felt really overwhelmed when I heard her singing and just the playfulness, you know, those girls went there and went to camp and their parents dropped them off and, you know, it's not just sleep away camp, right?
It's like, when we bring our kids places, we want them to feel safe. We just want children to be safe, you know, school, camp and I just, my heart is really thinking about anyone whose child is not safe. That's on my heart.
