Are you going to the impulse or what is it called? Impulsive? Impulsive. Yes. Is that what it's called? I don't know. I have no idea.
No, I just want to see what it tastes like. See what the hype is about. It's orange mango. Is this flavor? 200 milligrams of caffeine, zero sugar. It's vegan and it's gluten-free. That's important. Powerful. All right, crack it open. So Logan Paul's got your back if you're trying not to.

Yes. yes i'm glad you said in your eye after you said blow yes well blow me down powerful show today let's get into a podcasting now we are a powerful podcast we have been podcasting together for over decades decades years centuries millennium yes joe rogan veteran podcaster just got deal of the lifetime 250 million dollars quarter of a billion dollars to podcast on spotify but he's also able i guess it's not exclusive no it's not exclusive
an exclusive unexclusive by by exclusive there's no exclusivity he's on iheart now too right he's everywhere yeah But he's still on Spotify and he gets $250 million. He just signed that deal with Spotify like four years ago. For $100 million. Yeah, and that was a 10-year deal, wasn't it? I believe so. So they're just re-upping the... They must be making a lot of money on him.
We all know they're making a lot of money on indie artists. They're taking all of their money and giving it to Joe Rogan, which is kind of disgusting. $250 million. That's a lot of fucking money. Fucking Joe Rogan, man. Good for him. Yep. I remember the day, way back in the day, he was trying to get people and making them feel bad for not wanting to eat a shake made with cockroaches on Fear Factor. Did you enjoy Fear Factor? I did, yeah. Yeah, the kids and I watched it all the time.
Monday nights on NBC, 7 o'clock or 8 o'clock. I can't remember. Either way, it doesn't matter. You'd put pressure on people to face their fears, win, I don't know, $100,000 or something. It was at 50 grand? I'm saying it's 50. I think you're right. Powerful memory. Yeah. And yeah, they would always have the helicopter shot at the end of them cheering when the one person won. But yeah, now he's making $250,000 over 10 years.
My public school math says 25 million a year they'll probably do that for like four years and then they'll re-up them for like 500 million or something it's crazy what a sellout.
Yeah that's our joke here that we are a powerful indie podcast but we are willing to sell out right yeah spotify if you have any more money you want to spend off the backs of india just let us yes we are on spotify we are we're also on iheart radio pandora all the big ones keep naming other ones deezer amazon music radio public everything, A couple of the ones that have closed recently.

of OnlyFans? Is it going to keep going?
No, I think it will be dead in two years Two years, you heard it here first I'm giving it two years, OnlyFans, if you last more than two years good for you but i i'm not a big believer in only fans i guess can you imagine working hard at your shitty job nine to five and then giving someone your money every month yeah but just imagine all those people working their shitty nine to five jobs and then getting a thousand dollars a night for showing their feet yes god i wish i could show my feet,
I mean, I can, but nobody would want to buy it. No, I don't think so. Should we try that someday? You should. You should. See if there's a market for my feet on OnlyFans. That would be amazing. Oh, F, OnlyFeet. Yeah, it'd be fun. I don't know if I could get that past Mrs. Rez, but... No, it'd be quite a feat. We could try it. What do you think? Would she care or not? Oh, yeah, she'd be pissed. Would she? Oh, yeah. What if she started cashing those checks,
though? So there would be a moral dilemma for her for sure. It's very immoral. Yeah. I, as you can tell, I wouldn't have as much of a problem if I was making an extra two to 3000 a month on feet pics or feet videos. I got it. What's that? Nude cribbage board creation. Whoa. I don't think she would be down for that. Yeah, but she wouldn't be involved. It'd just be you. She still, she doesn't want to share this. No. You know? That's a lot to share. Yeah, I got a lot of jelly in here.
Well, now we were talking about podcasts off mic before we fired up this powerful episode. Dana White was just on, I don't even know if it's actually dropped, the episode, Howie Mandel's podcast. Can you say he was on? No. So, Howie Mandel starts off the show. He says, Dana White, and he says all these nice things about him, but kind of weird. He says, you're a philosopher, and I don't know if that was tongue-in-cheek. He said, you're a great philosopher. You're a great businessman.
I'm jealous of you. I'm jealous of you. There was some wrestler, fighter, red-haired dude, and he said, I know you don't get along with Ginger. Right. And then Dana White starts speaking, and he had a pained look in his face.
Would you agree yeah yeah i would agree and then he starts talking he's like i can't do this i can't do any more podcasts and he walks off yeah i think the pain to look in his face was that he's a bad actor so that that's yeah exactly so that's what i was going to ask you what do you think was this he's either crazy psycho dude this was planned he wiped out walked off or he's a crazy is he psycho duty walked off it's all scripted what do you think it's scripted
looks on everyone's face she told me that it was scripted i think they i would guarantee you that they recorded that.
And it's not even part of the episode they were just like let's do this video we're gonna put this out like you walked out that's gonna get people to listen to this episode and he's gonna going to be on the episode the entire time the sad part is is we're talking about it i know it worked and everyone's talking about yeah it worked it was all over x today i think i saw it pop up in my feed like nine times at amazing pop pod by the way yeah
and at mike res radio oh yes so yes follow mike res too yeah please yeah it so yeah it was being shared by multiple accounts so they They got what they wanted out of it, for sure. I don't think Dana White is honestly sick of doing podcasts. He's one of those guys that wants to talk about himself all the time. Yes, I did see an interview where he said he's sick of the media. Sure. The big media. Yeah, I bet that's just a play on that. You know, Howie Mandel was like, come on, let's just do this.
And Dana was like, yeah, I'm for it. And then we'll act and everyone will buy it. I know. No, it's like I've done dumb stuff. Like I've said, Hiker DJ Rez has been suspended for a week. Which time? Yes, he's been at rehab. Yeah, yeah, but there's... I was, but I was there for real though. I mean, Dana White's just pretending. So you think it's fake? I think it's fake. What do you think? I mean, I think it's fake, but God, if it's fake, that's so lame. It is, but it's Howie Mandel. Yeah.
We don't want to say cringe because I feel the word cringe is cringe, you know, but people still use cringe. Yeah. I didn't, I wasn't like uncomfortably cringe with it.
I was just like i've been become comfortably cringe i think it was just uh i don't know it was kind of it was awkward because they're just no nobody on there was a good actor about it can you imagine having that much dough and being upset about anything, no you know what i mean yeah i hope i have that much dough yeah you just wake up in the morning I mean, it's, ah. I got all that money. I got a stack of 100s in my back. Yeah, exactly.
I didn't sleep well. I stack of money. I'm like the princess and the pea. Having that much money, you have no reason to be upset about anything. No. Actually, I was just having a conversation with the Lyft driver. You use Lyft. I do use Lyft. I'm a man of the people, Dag. No, I think we talked about that before. You don't use Uber. You're a Lyft dude. I'm a Lyft guy because I get miles from Delta. And I think their stock is doing really well, isn't it? Yes, Lyft is better than Uber.
So I'm sitting in the back of my Lyft, and I'm just chilling. What is the average, now how often do you use Lyft? Maybe twice a month. Not very often, but often enough. Let me ask you this. Can you request a driver? I don't know if you can request a specific driver. So it's not like going to a barbershop where you want. want Ricky to do your hair. Yeah, you can request a specific type of vehicle. What is your go-to vehicle? The fastest one that'll get me there.
What does that mean? Whatever the cheapest one is. So sometimes it's what you do. So you pick the cheapest one that'll come right away, you know, and you don't choose the extra large or the fancy ones or the whatever they call it, the premiums or whatever. You just kind of like you're playing roulette with what's going to show up. Nine out of 10 times, you get the SUV. You get an SUV. Yeah. Yeah. And you can either request the SUV so you know you're getting an SUV and that's like $5 or $6 more.
Or you just hit the standard and whatever comes. But a lot of people have an SUV anyway that are drivers. So you usually get an SUV. How far are you usually driving? Like how many miles? I've never gone more than 10 miles on a Lyft. We just have too many drivers and not enough cars in the house. So I have to take a Lyft once in a while. So, and sometimes I require the young driver in our house to take a lift. So I just think it's fair sometimes that I take the lift as well.
Now, Mrs. Raz is too good for a lift. What do they have, like a fancier version for her or what? No, she just, she gets a car. Oh, she's princess. Yeah, she's, yeah, princess and the pea. So, but yeah, no. So anyway, so I'm driving... In my life speaking, going back to the million dollars or the money. And all of a sudden my Lyft driver starts saying, Hey, you know what I was just thinking just out of the blue, you know, I was like, no, what were you thinking?
He's how much happier I would be with a million dollars. And that's when I knew he was one of my people. Very naked ladies, right?
Oh yeah, absolutely. If I had a million dollars. Yeah. I mean, and then we, we agreed that money might not make you happy, but it would solve a lot of problems and in turn that would make you happy do you think you'd get bored not me no i've got a lot of i wouldn't give up making cribbage boards and doing the amazing pop culture podcast i would still do that i'd have to do stuff to keep me busy a lot more volunteering probably how late would you sleep in as late as
i wanted to that's how late i would average what are you thinking would you go to bed late are you normally an early bird i well i have to for work on my days off so you're a billionaire now oh okay so i'm a millionaire now i would be going oh billionaire billion i'd probably go to bed between 11 and midnight every night just because why not and then i'd probably sleep till about nine or ten where would you end up would you have
multiple houses yes you'd keep your house here i would keep my house here and get one one on the east coast for sure why the east coast because i like the east coast better than the west coast all right so probably around like maine portland maine area in that neck of the woods, and i don't know maybe maybe somewhere in oregon too we'll see but for sure two houses too maybe for sure two houses though one here one out east.
I'd get a better car, two good cars, one for me and the missus, and my parents would not have to pay, or they would own their houses straight up, and they would probably have new cars as well. Sweet. Yeah, my siblings, we'll see how they invest their $1,000 I give them. $1,000. Yeah. I mean, back in the day, that was a lot of money. It is. I don't want to spoil my siblings. No. What would you do with the billion dollars? How late would you sleep in? How late would I stay up first?
Yeah. How late would you stay up? I mean, you're up all the time on Twitter and X. 24, yes. 24-7 tweeting hilarious stuff. What's the latest hilarious thing I did? Do you remember? I'm going to go right now. You were talking about Pop-Tarts, weren't you? Yes. Thank you. That's a nice segue. You're welcome. Would you buy a lot of Pop-Tarts with your billion dollars?
So what time would I go to bed? i'd say i start falling asleep now with my normal job working at the food court about 12 30 nice, so with a little melatonin i don't know yeah if i sleep in too late though i start getting you ever get weird dreams like if you sleep too much and you start getting headaches and you know i mean when you go past the natural time for you to wake up yeah but it could be other stuff too.
Be rbd what's that rem sleep behavioral disorder i just found out about that i got to do a sleep study to see if i have it rem rem behavioral sleep just rem sleep behavioral disorder it's the end of my insomnia i feel fine rem rapid eye movement tell us so god what what a just a scatterbrain show i know who cares all right so if a normal person when they go to sleep not us yeah when they get in their rem sleep cycle one of the many that you have at night when you have a dream,
and when you get into rem your body goes paralyzed except for the breathing part your brain just does that if you have rbd you react to your dreams and you wake up thrashing or you wake up something thing in your dream wakes you up you might wake up punching the air you might wake up in a cold sweat you might have headaches when you wake up in the morning and it your dreams are not supposed to wake you up one time i woke up i was popping and locking oh i was dreaming of electric.
Say what's happening yes you're rerunning your dream yeah so i have to go do because i more than likely have sleep apnea because everybody has sleep apnea it seems like now so they want to test me for that and then they're also going to check to see if i have this rbd c-pap so i might need a c-pap for sure but i also might need medication the problem with rbd yeah you know me nice is that half of the people that have it it's a precursor
to parkinson's if it's in that part of your brain so i'm hoping that it's symptomatic which means I just need medication. There's no Parkinson's or dementia that runs in my family, so I'm guessing that I just need the medication. What makes you think you have this? Because I wake up from my dreams. They wake up thrashing and kicking and punching. Wow. Yeah. I'm a very violent sleeper, Deggs. I don't know if you know this. No, I usually. You wouldn't know this. Thank God.
Yeah. So we'd have to get separate rooms if we ever. When do you get the sleep study done? March 31st, Easter Sunday. Are you going to do cool live? Hell yeah. It's going to be in a hotel here. Yes. It's going to be. Let me guess where it's going to be. All right. It will be somewhere. I'll just say there's an old train museum involved. Yeah, I was, yeah. Man, you know everything. I'm your father. But CPAP, I did a powerful meme, by the way, at AmazingPopPod, CPAP plus Apple Vision Pro.
Yeah, I did see that. Yes. I can't wait. Yes. Yeah, no, it's going to be interesting to see how this sleep study happens.
Happens that's gonna be awesome good for you yeah we want you to be healthy i could probably lose weight if i get a good night's sleep you will at least that's what they say yes and you were talking about before we went off on our powerful tangents william bill post inventor of pop-tart passed away at the age of 96 rest in peace i said what is your favorite flavor strawberry i was a big strawberry fan with the white frosting yes and the confetti sprinkles now let me ask you this did you toast
i did as a kid i do not toast anymore i will not toast do you eat them raw or do you microwave them no i eat them raw it's the best way to eat them that's a good way to know too like i was like if you had a sweet tooth or not because sometimes it would hurt your teeth yes because they were so sweet i love them because they're like they're like mres like the crackers in an mre yeah they're in that cool reflective the foil
yes yeah what was your favorite flavor strawberry did you ever try the the cinnamon one yeah surprisingly good yeah i think if you actually put real butter on them it would be almost like a quasi breakfast food yeah I've never had it with butter. Now, cinnamon's not my first choice. If it was a choice, I would probably choose cinnamon if strawberry was not available. What's cool is when I was on X here, people were mentioning all these discontinued flavors. Did you see any of those?
No. Yeah, so. Let's go over some of them. Let's see. Yeah, I was surprised when that popped up in my timeline yesterday. So this guy said they all suck. What? So then I did the meme. Get out. So strawberry, unfrosted. Frosted cherry. The now defunct vanilla fudge. Vanilla fudge. This person says it's a tie between cherry and brown sugar. Frosted brown sugar. Maybe that's what I was thinking of, not the cinnamon, but the brown sugar. Brown sugar cinnamon is life.
Oh, see, there you go. Maple, frosted strawberry. Frosted brown sugar cinnamon. Cinnamon brown sugar. Cherry. Grape. Not blueberry. Grape. I don't think I ever had grape.
Raspberry frosted. Raspberry R.I.P. rip back in the day chocolate fudge frosted dutch apple now extinct s'mores are hot fudge sundae cherry strawberry blueberry blueberry blueberry frosted unfrosted blueberry amazing the fact that they made so many unfrosted flavors is really disappointing do you remember that powerful youtube video i made i tested the natural version oh that's right yes yeah if you want to watch that go to the most powerful youtube
channel ever created amazing pop culture podcast check it out, powerful review of would you eat a vegan pop tart what would that be as i normally so it'd be non-dairy yeah how about a vegan gluten-free i think we got to try that they got to come up with that and i'll try it yes i will try anything yeah i think that'll be different than the all all natural, of course. Yeah, I need a little artificial.
Know something i try that's all natural that i actually don't mind is macaroni cheese mac and cheese by uh craft i've had the natural what'd you think i don't think i was a fan okay because i ever since then i've only eaten though you want that phosphorescent orange color yeah yeah give me that artificial orange let me ask you this elbow macaroni or the straight what do you like better what do you mean by straight like spaghetti so or like
rigatoni type no just if you look at the mac and cheese they'll have the little it's just the tubes but it's like a straight hole it's like a it's like a mini little uh yeah i get what you mean uh what a straw like a straw yeah a little chunk of straw no i gotta do elbow you like the elbow mac yep elbow macaroni but now Now, shells. Yes, that would be the next logical question. And then bow tie is another favorite of mine. You like the bow tie. Yeah.
You can get one of the local grocery stores with the pasta bar. They have bow tie noodles as an option. I used to be a bouncer at a pasta bar in the 80s. Really? Did you wear a bow tie? I did. I wear a bolo tie. Ooh. You know who else wears a bolo tie now? It's Beyonce.
Say powerful segue into your grammy yeah she's coming out with a country album she's released two country songs one of them called texas hold them and i can't remember the other one how is that gonna what is your thoughts on that how is that gonna work it'll be interesting usually you go country to pop she's going pop to country so i bet it's gonna it's gonna work you can do both so oh you think it's i i don't think it's gonna work people are gonna buy it so who else else so what do
we have nelly big country right yep serious rutger he just got arrested recently he did he did a drug possession or something i don't know he's innocent until proven guilty yeah who else went country after going pop a little nas he did some country right little nas x yep yeah his first song was country yes did chair do a country album sure yeah she wasn't hip-hop no but she was pop she was pop yeah i i would consider beyonce pop not hip-hop true r&b yeah destiny's child what was that considered
just pop r&b slash pop yeah slash guns and roses yeah yeah yeah i can't think of many that have gone backwards but taylor swift started out country and now she's the pop princess harry underwood kind of did that crossover kelly Clarkson definitely did that crossover Garth Brooks tried. To do that crossover he tried to go emo with his yeah he tried changing his name Chris Gaines yeah which would have worked out if he would have changed his voice.
But I guess we don't do that. Chris Gaines, it's been said before, but it would have been an ultimate name for a bodybuilder, Chris Gaines. I think he's related to Raleigh Gaines, the swimming commentator guy. Yeah, that's about it. That's all I can think of as far as that goes. So I think that Beyonce and country is going to bomb.
I think a second album will bomb, but the first album will sell because everyone's going to be curious and she's going to get a billion streams so when does that drop soon let's find out yeah it's coming out i think march i want to say but i let's i'll say don't quote me on that and then i'm going to check it out really did she do anything on the grammys or she was there obviously she was there it's presented i don't even think she did she present jay-z was up there
right jay-z got the dr dre lifetime achievement award or whatever they call it yes dropping in 2024 it's called act two it's march 29th act two the same day that aaron lewis hardy kenny chesney and cheryl crowe all come out with country albums cheryl crowe crossed over she does country now i didn't even know she was doing music it says right here cheryl crowe evolution march 29th, you know who's kind of goes back and forth jewel jewel she's still around she is
i don't know when her last new song came out but yeah she is still around she's done some like cameos and some shows or movies here and there so but yeah she's still active where do you go from country then like what's the next stage bluegrass bluegrass yeah he's got to be bluegrass then what.
Retirement home all right yeah i think yeah you think like when you go from pop music because it's short for popular music and then you do country which is still popular but its heyday was the 90s it used to be country western yeah whatever happened to western music now it's just country big uh r&b rhythm and blues yeah rock and roll rock rock that's just rock there's no rollers Rollers. No rollers. It used to be the Bay City Rollers. That's true. My favorite rolling band. Rolling Stones.
They got into a fight with Jefferson Starship. Yes. Used to be Jefferson Airplane. Yeah, who built the city. Yeah, so it was Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, Starship. Yeah, and that was the hovercraft. Ship. Drone. That'd be cool. Is there cool drone bands?
Yes, we have a nice. jefferson drones local drone music maker a gehenna saga john erickson who's a tattoo artist at black cough too who did my badass are you getting paid for that or no i just like john john's a cool dude am i getting paid for this yeah you're getting paid in gratitude all right so but speaking of grammys i got a list of some artists who've never won a grammy are you ready yes all right queen never won a grammy the who where.
Jimi Hendrix, Journey, Joe Satriani, Guns N' Roses, Depeche Mode, Queens of the Stone Age, Patti Smith, Bob Marley, Talking Heads, Kiss, Lana Del Rey, The Grateful Dead, The Cure, Janis Joplin, The Pretenders, Jackson Browne, and Rush. Who? Your favorite band. Never heard of them. Yeah. i i assume rush hasn't won anything because the equivalent in canada doesn't exist or something yeah the exchange rate is impossible it is for every one grammy here that's one and a half.
How's it going hey at that list there who what's shocking to you because you put some big pop names in there i mean i understand rush and that kind of stuff but um journey jimmy hendrix journey Journey surprises me. Queen is probably the biggest one that surprises me. You'd think there'd be some, after Queen's World, there'd be some Bohemian Rhapsody. Right. But can you win a Grammy for something that you release like 20 years?
There's a lifetime achievement. Do they have like a cheesy lifetime achievement? Yeah, they do. Well, it's a good question because the Dr. Dre one is mainly for hip-hop acts.
So that's a good question. I don't know if they have another lifetime. do they have like a cool bluegrass lifetime achievement no bob marley is another shocking one janice joplin i mean unfortunately janice joplin bob marley and jimmy hendrix probably not gonna win one why is that they stopped making music yeah they retired from music how about ai. That's a, I, how would you give, let's say, cause that, that'll probably happen.
Let's say, let's just throw it out. Let's say Bob Marley releases a new song via AI. Can you give them, can you give him a Grammy? What if it wins? The family will. Just seems, seems weird to me if that happens, but we'll see. Maybe there'll be an AI category. There should be. Best AI song. I mean, I just released an AI album in January. How many albums do you have of? I have four. Three EPs and one LP. Where can someone hear this music?
Oh, available wherever fine music is streamed, including Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, Amazon. The list goes on and on. Do you have a cool name, or you just go by Mike Rez? I just go by Mike Rez. Mike Rez. Yep. It's an artificially intelligent experience. I can't wait for you to do a lot of sleep songs, Because, you know, you have all those cool sleep disorders. Yeah. There's going to be some really cool. I should make some music via AI
while I'm at the sleep study. The first song is I Can't Breathe. Second one is What's Going On. There's a kink in my hose. But What's Up. Yes, What's Up. Nobody's ever written a grid song called What's Up. Do you enjoy my mask? Sleep paralysis. God, it's going to be cool. whoa, it's going to be like a, you know, there's going to be a cool theme. Right. I might request, let's say, so they're going to tell me I have sleep apnea, and they're going to say you probably need a CPAP.
I might request the full face, the nose, and the mouth. Has anyone ever told you that. Like you're snoring real loud or? Yes. Okay. I choke. I stop breathing. Yes. You have sleep apnea. Yeah. Sorry to say. Yeah. It was funny that the doctor that I saw, she said, she says, well, who complains about it the most? And I was like, well, my wife, of course. And she's like, well, you know, sleep partners are batting a hundred or a thousand when it comes to diagnosing sleep apnea.
But yeah, she's been telling me for years. I'm just finally getting, getting into it.
Cause I don't want to die in my sleep. you want to die wide awake oh going out painfully as possible yeah you know everyone's dream it's better to burn out than fade away that's right speaking of fading away i have the rock and roll hall of fame fan bat fan ballots this is the ranking of the finalists based on fan ballots let me ask you this can you vote because you're in the radio business i think any of us can vote any of us yes we just have to go to the rock and roll hall of fame
website we can vote i think you You might have to sign up for an account. Did you get us on the Razzies yet or what? I did not. I totally forgot. We're going to do that, though. We might have to vote for next year. Okay. We're going to be members. All right. And we're going to get hats or a shirt or something just to prove that we're voting members. All right. So here are your finalists for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame fan ballots. Number one, Ozzy Osbourne with over 68,000 votes.
Peter Frampton is second. Second, Foreigner, Dave Matthews Band, Cher, Lenny Kravitz, Mariah Carey, Kool and the Gang, Oasis, Sinead O'Connor, Sade, Jane's Addiction, Mary J. Blige, A Tribe Called Quest, and Eric B. and Rakim. So that's the order they're in. I would keep Ozzy Osbourne on top and Peter Frampton, Foreigner, Dave Matthews. I'm okay with that, but I would put Sinead O'Connor over Cher and then Sade under that. And then Lenny Kravitz, Mariah Carey, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
I don't think I would have Cher so high. Who's your favorite band out of all those? Out of all that list? Yes. Probably Oasis. I do like Jane's Addiction, but I only know like one or two songs from them. But yeah, Oasis is pretty cool. I like Foreigner. Ozzy's good. Brampton comes alive. I mean, that was an album everybody knew. Yes, classic. Yeah. I mean, who else could get their guitar to talk to him besides David Lee Roth?
They had so many cool live albums like that. Yeah. What's your favorite live album, Brampton? Oh, no. Cheap Trick, Live at Budokan. The Dance by Fleetwood Mac. That live album's pretty good. I like that one. I enjoy Exit, Stage Left by Rush. Hmm. You would. I do. Yes. And I will. I'm trying to think what other live albums I've listened to. There's not many that I've listened to. I'm not a huge live album fan.
Let me ask you this. this do you like your live music to sound exactly like the record or do you like them to mix it up you like it to sound all the mistakes or do you like it mixed really tight i like the cd mixed tight live music can be a little looser they can have their mistakes and their off-key moments do you want it to sound like the song or do you no no it doesn't you don't you don't care if they mix if they start jamming in it okay no well if
you go to if you've gone to a fleetwood mac concert, it's never the same like on the cd because lindsey buckingham can't help himself he's always got to have a guitar solo in every song so which adds like two minutes to every song sounds good yeah and it if you can do it good you should do it for sure and lindsey buckingham can and do it, so that was not a bad idea, or not a bad thing. When we saw, when, actually you were there, when we saw Styx and REO.
Styx was the better live band that night. REO was. I would agree with you. That was me. There's other times I've seen him when it was flipped. I enjoyed REO better. Really? Yes. I wonder why that is. It was a really off night for REO. What it has to do with, do you remember how hot it was that night? It was hot. It was stifling. I mean, it was horrible. And the guys in REO are a lot older than Stacey. That's exactly what I was going to say. It was hotter than hell.
I think he was like 76 years old. The humidity was insane. They're on stage. We were just sitting there dying. Right.
And they're performing you got those hot lights there was no airflow at all no so i'm surprised they did as well as they did yeah they definitely should have played first though that night but i mean how do you know that's gonna happen but yeah sticks was definitely they were on their game as the kids would say that night i enjoyed that a lot that was a tight set yeah it was good yeah renegade was that's it that's your go-to too yeah from sticks live yeah renegade was great yeah so i just had
a guy sing it on at karaoke how'd he do he was he was okay but yeah it was it's pretty pretty wild it did bring me back to that night at the state fair oh there's nothing better than live music yeah we saw so last year we saw boyz II man and chaka khan chaka khan did her best trying to make it sound like the cds and the album which was fine And it sounded good, but I think Boyz II Men was better. And I think every one of their songs they played, they extended it by a minute or two.
Which was cool. And then they actually came out and played instruments. Oboe? Did they play the oboe? It was the oboe, the xylophone, and the triangle. Triangle. Yeah. And I think there was a tambourine involved too, all at the same time. But yeah, it was a lot of fun. And I've seen the Whalers live. The original Whalers. The Whalers. Yeah, they played at the State Fair for free like eight, nine years ago. Popular sandwich. The Whaler. And the Yumbo. That a Clark's Sub sandwich? Oh, it was fish.
Was it? The Whaler. The Yumbo. Look it up. Remember Clark's Subs? Yes, you wore a derby. I believe they wore a derby, didn't they? They did. Yes. And Clark's, I think the logo was the dude with the long nose. I think he had the derby and the mustache. It was the one where it was like hanging over the sub with the nose. Yes. I think that wasn't Clark's. I thought Clark's had the derby, the hat. Look it up. We're looking it up. Everything you can think of. Another favorite...
Sub sandwich was blimpy did you enjoy blimpies not as much as i probably should i like a blimpy i like a capicola gabagool gabagool yeah i enjoy a good capicola sandwich okay i see yep clarks that is uh there was one on the west side yes or west st paul so we would go there and get my dad had subs for lunch break for work. What's your go-to sub? Gotta be turkey of some kind. And I get one of the big sandwich chains that's got avocado on it and provolone cheese.
You can't go wrong with provolone. Tomato. Provolone is the best. You gotta do the oil and vinegar. Yes. Oh, so good. But at like Devani's Pizza, they have like a hot hoagie. That's a local joint in the Twin Cities. And they do like a turkey and bacon chipotle. And that's delicious. It used to be Pontillo's. Really? Do you remember Pontillo's? I do not remember Pontillo's. There's also a joint here, Portillo's, right? Yeah, that's here now.
