SPEAKER_01 4:51

But uh, let's get to the real

Eagles Memories From The Farm

SPEAKER_01 4:54

deal. Let's get to what we want to talk about this week.

SPEAKER_02 4:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:57

You wanted to talk about the Eagles.

SPEAKER_02 4:59

I can't tell you a lie.

SPEAKER_01 5:01

Oh. I I get it. Little plan words. Okay. I get it, Tom.

SPEAKER_02 5:06

You want to start off why, and then I'll give a little background or well, I think the reason I picked the Eagles this time is because it like Dr. Hook, it was like a huge part of my childhood with different I had so many siblings that they were all age. Uh certain ones didn't listen to this and certain ones listened to that. Right, right. And so I got uh just a genre of everything. And uh my younger siblings, not younger than me, but younger before me, they they were into the Eagles. Okay. And so that was a big thing for them, which brought me into it. And um brings me to a a story that I remember when I was on the farm. My grandfather had wheat and we would hire the Weed? Wheat. Oh, wheat, okay. My grandfather didn't do weed, yeah. Okay. We all did that for him. But anyway, he had custom cutters that would just come and they would harvest our fields for us for a certain amount of money, whatever Pa paid him. But they would come every year and they would do different people around us, so they were in town for three or four weeks until they were done. Well, I met this guy named Brian that drove one of the combines, and he let me ride with him and get in the combine and taught me everything I know about a combine. And he had a cassette player in there, and well, of course, he had the Eagles, and that's what my sister listened to. I said, Hey, I know them, let's listen to them, and he'd put them on and we'd listen, and it would be pretty cool. But that just takes me back to the farm days.

SPEAKER_01 7:05

Nostalgia.

SPEAKER_02 7:06

Yeah, that's what we're hearing about. We're hearing about nostalgia. Yeah. But um the Eagles have always been one of my favorite bands. They have good songs that I remember. Now, the early years I don't remember too well, and they didn't just grab a hold of me. But like the 70s, right? That's where the Eagles like greatest hits and and different things came through.

SPEAKER_01 7:31

But I remember hearing songs not knowing who it was until my friend Tim had the Eagles' greatest hits when that came out. Right. And that's when I started really look getting into the Eagles. I think that was the album that put put a lot of people in the seat. I mean, I've heard there were songs I've heard before, uh Lion Eyes. Yeah. So, you know, I'm familiar with those on the radio. Exactly. But then once I heard the album, I'm like, oh, okay, that's who this is. And I'm gonna, you know, back then I was like, hey, these guys look pretty cool. You know, you're a kid. Like But uh, that's how I started getting into the Eagles. I mean, the Eagles are great, harmonizing the story behind them. Let's get into a little background of the Eagles first.

SPEAKER_02 8:11

There you go.

SPEAKER_01 8:13

All right.

How The Eagles Built Their Sound

SPEAKER_01 8:14

I I'm sure everybody knows by now, but we'll just give a quick uh little ban bio. The Eagles formed in Los Angeles in 71, emerging from the fertile Southern California music scene that blended country folk, rock, and pop into a sound that defined the 70s American radio. But the oh yeah, here we go. The original lineup, I was gonna say something, but it's right here. The original lineup featured Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon, and Randy Meisner, all of whom had previously worked backing musicians for Linda Ronstadt. Yep. That shared background gave the band a tight vocal blend, a strong sense of songcraft, right out of the gate. Earlier albums including Eagles 1972, Desperados 73. That's another song I remember back in the day. Leaned heavily into country rock storytelling, but it was 1974's On the Border, and 1975's One of These Nights that pushed them into full mainstream stardom. By this point, guitarist Don Fetter, oh Felder, excuse me, I'm sorry. Yeah, Felder. Yeah. Had joined, helping steer the band toward a harder rock edge. The Eagles reached their creative and commercial peak with 1976's Hotel California. See, I think the next album was good too. But anyways, an album often interpreted as a dark commentary on fame, excess, and a California dream. The title track became one of the most dissected songs of rock history, while the album itself cemented the Eagles as one of the biggest bands on the planet. And we all know how the Eagles were, but especially Don Henley and Glenn Frey. We hear a lot of stories about them being assholes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 9:43

Everybody was so talented, like shh, it just they fought all the time.

SPEAKER_01 9:48

Yeah, but it was mainly those two idiots. It was. You know, and I'm gonna say idiots because of all the stories I've heard, it's always something bad. Idiotic. Yep. Yeah, what sucks too is Glenn Frey's death. Yeah. Remember him on Miami Vice? Do you remember that episode?

SPEAKER_02 10:06

I do remember that episode.

SPEAKER_01 10:07

And that song You Belong to the City. That was a good song from him. Now I liked Glenn Frey's voice over Don Henley. Don Henley's got a lot of good hits with his voice, but C and I did too. And then Randy Miser.

SPEAKER_02 10:21

Joe Walsh. I like Joe Walsh too.

SPEAKER_01 10:23

Take It to the Limits, Randy Miser, that's a great song.

SPEAKER_02 10:26

Yeah, yeah, it was. And one of the early, early songs that they had, um Peaceful, Easy Feeling. Oh, another good song. One of my very favorite as a kid.

SPEAKER_01 10:37

Like I said, if you go back and listen to all that older stuff, I mean, and like you said, Tom, it brings back a lot of nostalgia. Yeah. Because, you know, when uh the long run came out, I believe that's the one that has the the Greeks don't want no freaks. Right. Remember we were partying, playing that song, being out somewhere and that song come on and everybody's getting into it. It was one of those, it's a party type song. Yeah, it really is. It was beer all over the dance floor. The band was playing rhythm and boos. Great lyrics in that. That song is freaking fun. Yep. But after that, oh remember the we're not touring, we won't tour again until Hell Freezes Over. I guess Hell Froze Over, Eagles, because you toured a few times since then.

SPEAKER_02 11:20

Wasn't there wasn't that uh tour called when Hell Freezes Over because that was that's what's funny about it.

SPEAKER_01 11:28

Well at least they yeah, at least they used it today. Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 11:32

That was funny. But yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:34

Love the Eagles though.

SPEAKER_02 11:36

Yeah, they were a good band.

SPEAKER_01 11:38

Joe Walsh.

SPEAKER_02 11:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:39

When he came in, he had his own good sound. And then his solo. Joe Walsh seemed like the more fun guy.

SPEAKER_02 11:50

Down at earth, yeah, just the fun guy. Yep, yep. Wanted to go out and have a good time. Life's been good to me so far. Let's rip out the hotel walls.

SPEAKER_01 11:59

My Maserati does 185. I lost my license. Now I don't drive. Joe. I have accountants pay for it all. Yep, there you go.

SPEAKER_02 12:14

That's awesome. But you know what I really liked about the Eagles though? It just it touched base with everybody else. I mean well well so many age groups were touched by the Eagles. Oh, true. When you when you think about it, I mean it hit the Oh, it's one of those bands that everybody pretty much lost.

SPEAKER_01 12:41

Yeah. Maybe not everybody.

SPEAKER_02 12:42

And even now.

SPEAKER_01 12:43

There's something for everybody too with the Eagles.

SPEAKER_02 12:45

Yeah, and even now, people are going to still see the few remaining remaining people. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:53

Yeah, yeah. And Vince Gill's with him now, too, right?

SPEAKER_02 12:58

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I forgot about old Vince.

SPEAKER_01 13:01

I think Glenn Frey's son was touring with him for a bit, but I don't know what happened there.

SPEAKER_02 13:05

Yeah. So that, you know, the Eagles, man.

SPEAKER_01 13:08

They had their Who's the bassist uh that took over. Timmy Schmidt. I think that's his name, something like that. He's been there, something like that. Yeah, he's been there for a while now, too. He sings that song, I Can't Tell You Wow. Look at that falsetto voice.

SPEAKER_02 13:29

SPEAKER_01 14:58

I'll tell you right now, he's handling it better than I would. Me too. I'd already killed somebody. I'm surprised neither of us have yet. So we've uh done with the Eagles or Well, do you have any memories about the Eagles? Oh, but basically, like I said, just Tom, my memories when I was listening to Eagles were basically keg parties. Or parties at someone seriously. Exactly. Not gonna lie, that's most of my memories of listening to the Eagles. Well, and don't get me wrong, I can kick back now and oh shit.

SPEAKER_02 15:33

Yeah, well, I guess I'd better say this part. I guess I better say this part about the Eagles. Go ahead.

Yep. But um, you know, the Eagles were part of that, and it was in that era, and and uh Witchy Woman and all them things. But yeah, I love the Eagles, and there's just so many good songs that I can't rem, you know, name them all, right?

But it had nothing to do with neighbors. Oh, but you said that's what it's all about. Right. The hokey pokey's what it's all about.

But with the accident and all hasn't been thawed or anything. No. It's still in the freezer. That's the problem. Yeah, yeah. I can't I can't find a day where I gotta take it out and thaw it where it'll be ready like t tomorrow or Monday. But if it's gonna be this, I just don't know if I wanna sit out there and try to keep a fire stoked in this wet, dreary ass weather.

SPEAKER_01 33:22

Yeah. I mean, uh temperature-wise, I don't mind it. No, it's wonderful. It's just that damp, moist.

SPEAKER_02 33:31

Anyway. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. We like that. Damn.

SPEAKER_01 33:39

We're just listening to the birds.

SPEAKER_02 33:42

I hear 'em. Isn't it funny how you hear them but you don't see them?

SPEAKER_01 33:49

Seem to hear them more in these damn micro for these microphones.

SPEAKER_02 33:52

Yeah, well, that's because we have all this great equipment that we use.

SPEAKER_01 33:57

Excellent. Picks up too much. I hear wee-woo. Wee woo, wee woo, wee woo. Looks like uh neighbor needs to mow their lawn there soon.

SPEAKER_02 34:09

Yeah. Kind of funny how uh he's the one that works all mowers.

SPEAKER_01 34:15

It's true, isn't it? Yeah. My neighbor thinks we're crazy. There they are. There's those two idiots again on the porch. On the porch. Microphones and headphones. Idiots. Hey we are we are idiots, but we have fun being idiots. This is awesome.

Work Recovery Trips And Milestones

SPEAKER_01 34:52

It is.

SPEAKER_02 34:53

Trust me, I've had a lot to have to release lately. I understand. But I put a harness on yesterday and felt pretty good about it.

SPEAKER_01 35:04

Oh yes, this is true. So hang on, you're telling me I'm like, uh I don't know what to tight on, I don't know what I can do.

SPEAKER_02 35:11

Yeah, I'm like, well, here it comes. And the bad thing about it is, just because I can wear a harness, I'm freaking about the trucks. Still. But I gotta be getting better.

SPEAKER_01 35:25

As long as you can move them, we don't care.

SPEAKER_02 35:28

Right.

SPEAKER_01 35:29

Yeah, you don't have to be on the truck. Well, still. Just to move them. Well, look, it took me, Kelly, and Josh less than two hours to unload the box truck.

SPEAKER_02 35:44

Right. Right, that was good. I wish we'd always get just box trucks. Nothing else.

SPEAKER_01 35:52

I got plenty of room to put those up. I do. There's plenty. Especially after I just took a shitload down.

SPEAKER_02 35:58

Yeah, there's plenty to put up, that's for sure.

SPEAKER_01 36:01

There's one part of five that's op wide open, uh two, four.

SPEAKER_02 36:08

See, and that's uh a big reason why I didn't show up today was because I never got grace to print me papers. For Tuesday, so I really didn't know what to yeah. I could have pulled it up on my computer, but still. That's that takes forever.

SPEAKER_01 36:28

Well, you'll have fun Tuesday. I know. I'm gonna go in and I gotta pull all that uh close out shit. Right. Are we boring people with uh work talk? Probably. Probably. Yeah. I'd say we get on a rant or going down some road, and this is where we it leads us.

SPEAKER_02 36:47

But we're on the porch. This is what we talk about on the porch.

SPEAKER_01 36:51
