SPEAKER_08

Right.

SPEAKER_09

Then they throw in these Thursday night games, and for the most part, those Thursday night games have been sucked fast.

SPEAKER_08

Well, here's the problem. They throw all these other games in there that no one normal can watch because they don't have cable and this and that.

SPEAKER_09

Oh yeah, that's another thing. Amazon Prime, Netflix.

SPEAKER_08

Let's charge people to watch football.

SPEAKER_09

But uh, I don't know. I just like I said, I used to just love the Sunday and Monday games. That's what got me psyched. Now you got like I said, Thursday night games have been sucked ass.

SPEAKER_08

Ooh, that's a deadly comedy, those two.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah. That era. And I have the funny little story. Go ahead. Hopefully it's not cringy. It might sound cringy. But uh Billy Idol. This song was out for a few years before this happened, but my brother listening to this song out of detail gating at the Pages game and first started dating Barney. Well, you know, Barney's 11 years younger, says 30-year-old Mike with 19 year old Barney.

SPEAKER_08

Brothers. Don't you guys?

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, cool. The things we talk about on the porch.

SPEAKER_08

The porch is a place where things just get let go.

SPEAKER_09

Yes, they do. Yes, they do, Tom.

Brad Paisley And The Lampshade Myth

SPEAKER_08

So you're not gonna shock me with a shock you're gonna do.

SPEAKER_09

Okay.

SPEAKER_08

But I'm just wondering, have you ever been to a dance hall and everything?

SPEAKER_09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08

You know what makes us good dancers?

SPEAKER_09

What's that? Alcohol. Some people, yes. Some people they look like a Maytag washing machine. Anyway.

SPEAKER_08

Anyway, let's uh hear a little bit of Red Hazley.

SPEAKER_09

Okay.

SPEAKER_08

What year was that one? That one is in two thousand and five.

SPEAKER_09

Okay, so fairly fairly new.

SPEAKER_08

Not too bad.

SPEAKER_09

Twenty-one years, okay.

SPEAKER_04

I can make anybody pretty. I can make you pick a fight with somebody twice your size. I've been known to cause a few breakups. I've been known to cause a few births. I can make you new friends or get you fired from work. And since the dead left Milwaukee, lots of big money. Helpin white people that was a ball. That's time of bedtime. Never remember with me. Also for those naked pictures of you at the beach. I'm influenced by kings and world leaders. I'll bet you a drink or two that I can make you put that lampshade on board.

SPEAKER_08

Oh, no, no, not at all. I'm just saying I I don't remember a lot of things, but probably why. So why go ahead, I'm sorry. No, I'm just just wondering.

SPEAKER_09

All right, well, I looked this up because I was interested in the song. Right. And this little tidbit came up.

SPEAKER_08

I like tidbits.

SPEAKER_09

So there's I guess there's a part here where he wears a lampshade on his head. Okay. Fans took the song's lyrics to heart during Paisley's concerts, inspired by the line about putting a lampshade on your head. Concertgoers began showing up with lampshades as a at one show, an estimated six thousand fans donned lampshades during the art tuning uh turning the audience into a sea of lighthearted rebelry.

SPEAKER_08

Wow.

SPEAKER_09

Let's all wear a lampshade. Yeah, that's dumb.

SPEAKER_08

Okay. This is a whole lot why I come back from drinking twelve packs a day.

SPEAKER_09

So you could stop wearing lampshades?

SPEAKER_08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09

What about the time you wore a lampshade and ran around naked?

SPEAKER_08

Okay, are we recording?

SPEAKER_09

No. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_08

Oh, okay. Yeah, that was the day.

SPEAKER_09

Okay, let me let me hit the record button.

SPEAKER_08

There we go.

SPEAKER_09

And we're good now.

SPEAKER_08

You badhead.

SPEAKER_09

All right. My next song.

Halestorm Brings The 80s Vibe

SPEAKER_08

I'd love to hear it.

SPEAKER_09

All right. My next song. No, no. Kind of more or less narcissism.

SPEAKER_08

Oh, yeah, I like that song.

SPEAKER_09

So it's so this song is Hailstorm. The song is called Mine off the album Back from the Dead, and this came out in two thousand twenty two.

SPEAKER_05

I think you've got to make you all right, Tom.

SPEAKER_09

Hail Storm. Oh, Lizzie Hale.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah. Sound good.

SPEAKER_09

I love that song. It's got an eighties vibe to it. Yeah. Love the guitar work in it.

SPEAKER_08

For as early as it came out, man, it did.

SPEAKER_09

That's 2022, but it has that 80s type sound. And I definitely love that. It's a little different from Hailstorm. It's one of the songs I do like from that. I lost my train of thought. Is that surprising? High speed rail. You're not listening to me. It came too fast. I didn't come too fast. The train came too fast.

SPEAKER_08

Oh, yeah. They moved pretty quick.

Bluegrass Aging Anthem Still Got It

Still Got It!

SPEAKER_06

Old Joe used to run that football straight across the county line. Now he needs ten good minutes just to stand up from his recline. Mary Lou is holla, pretty still keeps a lipstick in her purse. Her knees take a little longer, but her smile still hits you first. Still got it, still got it. Might be slower than we used to be, but we still got it, still got it, still got it. When the banjo rings and the porch lights go low, we still got it, still got it, still got it. Bobby's got a fillbox rattling, Betty's got a brand new hip. Both of 'em hit the dance floor like a runaway blue field trip. Down at the sawdust, dance. All under bear, bubble item fine. Can't hear half the song now. She can't see the exit sign. But when that fiddle starts a sawin' and them banjos fall in line, they two step through the sawdust like it's 1989. These may pop like gunfire joints, may creak and groan, but the soul don't be permission. Music calls it home. Still got it, still got it. Might be slower than we used to be, but we still got it. Still got when the banjo rings on the force lights go. When the banjo rings, on the force lights go, we still got it. Still got it, still got it. Girls out by the mailbox, whistling down the gravel lane. Had poloin' boots on buddy walking crooked through the rain. Says he ain't as young as yesterday, but he ain't near gone today. Then his fences came like Elvis and the whole porch hollers. Hey, Time can steal your fastball, put a wobble in your stride, but it can't touch that little fire. Still burning deep inside, still got it, still got it. Might be slower than we used to be, but we still got it. Still got it. When the banjo rings and the porch lights go load, we still got it. Still got it. We ain't twenty, we ain't third it, we ain't foolin' no one here, but we still laugh. Loud, still staying proud, still know how to disappear down the mud road with a song loading a whistle in the air. If the good lord lets that fiddle play, we'll still be dancing there. Still got it, still got it, might be slower than we used to be, but we still got it. Still got when the banjo rings on the porch flights blow, we still got, still got it, still got a little girl, a little bell, we still got still got the hard still alive, we still got it, still got it, still got Might be slower than we used to be, still got it, still got When the banjo rings on the porch lights blow, Lord, we still got it, still got it, still got it, still got it, still got it, might be slower than we used to be, but we still got it. Still got it. When the banjo rings and the porch lights go, we still got it. Still got it, still got it.

SPEAKER_09

All right, Tom. Still got it. At least it wasn't about alcohol this time.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah, well, no

And all of a sudden these things pop up where you can make your loved one a song that's about her, but in your words because you don't know how to say it. Okay, so I thought, well, that's a neat idea. I went on there. They want a hundred bucks. Oh, shit. Yeah, never mind. I just I'm I can say it better than that.

Dan Fogelberg And Grateful Nostalgia

SPEAKER_02

I hold alone in why a cabinet maker's son. His hands were meant for different work, and his heart was known to know. He left his own went his loom in silent every way. And it gave to me a gift I know I never can repay. Denied a simplified. He tried to be a soldier once, but his music couldn't wait. He earned his love to deal with them, a thundering delivered hand.
