A grand prize.

There was a ground trip ticket to Epstein Island.

I knew it was going somewhere in the gutter.

I just wasn't sure where it was gonna go.

This is kind of nice for me.

Wow, look at that.

This is better.

But since some jackasses decide to turn podcasting into a visual medium, we can't have the moodlighting it.

But I'm visually stunning in this light.

But I don't want to knock a camera over here.

It's a nice little cap there.

Let's say is a Japanese.

No, it's a Negro League baseball team.

I knew it was something, and it was baseball that I wasn't familiar.

With, the Sioux City Ghosts.

It's how many Negro League caps?

Do you have?

All of them?

The full set?

No?

I don't have the full set.

I need a Homestead Grays.

You need a Homestead Grazer one Okay, I don't have one, a lot.

I have a Chicago American Giants.

I have this one Kansas City Monarchs that might be it.

How many Negro league teams were there?

There were a lot and okay, yeah, because there wasn't just one league.

Oh they had multiple leagues that were negro leagues.

Yeah I didn't even.

Know that, okay, but I mean they were the major ones.

But yeah, okay, learning something today and that's what you get here on Pot of Thunder at any level, including just listening for free, not on Patreon.

Nick's gonna teach you something history lesson each and every week to Nick's immediate left.

You want him, we.

Got him heaven every day hev.

Yeah and away.

Yeah, you put go our hands together for the breakout star of the podcast medium, Chris Sells Here.

Happy Halloween, Chris.

Is it Halloween already?

It's the weekend week?

Yeah, that's right, it's the week.

It is Monday, the twenty seventh, as this is released.

Yeah, all right, well that's it for.

Track of dates a little bit, but yeah.

That's it for Spooctober.

This is going to do it.

Yeah, we had to pause it last week for obvious reasons, but close it out today with what technically Nick's pick.

Yes, yeah, the the Asteroid is gonna hit.

I have a feeling this week, we hope.

So we're talking about it a little bit before because you guys got lucky.

Yeah, we got a que first two weeks of October, we each got a good song on the first draw from the random song generator populated by you, the listener.

The hammer will fall.

Yeah, and we were you know me this week if it's your first time here, or at least this month Spooktober.

The spookiest option of all is to have no take backs.

No Bushwick's first option we get from the random song general.

No matter what it is, we have to go with it.

And we got two good ones on the first ball.

Well that ends tonight, I hope.

So No, it's I would like something bad.

I guarantee it's not rigged.

But I have a feeling.

Well, I think you're overstating at a bit that the Arctic Monkeys was good.

I mean it was okay, okay, nothing great.

I'm just hoping for like something outrageous.

You know.

No, I'm with you, yeah, you know, let's not let's let's not put Arctic monkeys on the level of Blondie.

Can I be honest, Let me be honest with you.

I remembered mine.

I had Blondie call me.

I couldn't remember what yours was.

Yeah, I was like, yeah, that was good too, But I didn't either.

I had to look it up again and I'm like, it was all right, it wasn't.

I mean, it's better than getting a fucking slipknot or some shit.

That's what I want.

That's what I.

Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't mind it tonight either.

Well, welcome to my nightmare last week.

Can I organize the random song generator to only pull from slipknot?

No, I can't, can't be done, can't be fiddled with, none of that bologney.

I hear crinkling over there.

What's going on?

Oh, crinkling crinkling?

Is that baked?

Let's just say that it is ding dong.

Trigg or treat.

I can tell you what this is.

It's not baked.

I can tell you exactly what this says by looking at what that is.

There's two of these, and instead of rice crispies, they're the same concept, but one is count chocola.

The other is a combination of Booberry and uh, what's the strawberry guy's name?

Frankinberry ranking Berry.

I got a night off this week.

He's taking care of it.

No fruit brute though he's out of production.

Yeah, so is a what is marmel, apple, caramela or whatever?

Yeah, from a couple of years ago.

It's weight addition, wasn't it that was heard of that one?

Yeah, that was new a couple of years ago.

So I was so.

Yeah, it's basically just a rice crispy treat, but instead of rice crispies, we got the monster cereals.

There's a chocolate one and then a separate one with the fruit flavors put together.

Yeah, he just said, well.

He's right, so interesting.

I was looking it up.

How old are these characters?

Yeah?

Early nineteen seventies.

How's that it?

Okay?

Yeah?

I guess and uh, something I.

Something that seems to go with Halloween monster whatever type Novelty Foods nineteen seventy two, Frankenberry cereal included an indigestible pigment that turns some children's feces pink, a symptom sometimes referred to as Frankenberry stool and then they reformulated a stooling gone wrong, if you will.

Yes.

So, speaking of which, Andy, didn't you eat an orange whopper tonight about two hour?

Have you seen the aftermath yet?

Has it happened?

No?

Not yet.

What are you expecting to see orange feces?

I'll let you know.

But it's in the photo.

It doesn't look too different.

But when you're in front of this orange whopper, it is visually pretty vibrant.

Vibrant, Yes, very orange black sesame seeds.

There's got to be a consequence, you'd think.

So the output, Well, the black.

Sesame seeds aren't that unusual, No, but the orange, but the orange orange, orange colored bun, yeah, is a little out there.

You know.

Doctor said, I need more artificial coloring in my diet.

So I said, all right, he's worried about he's we're worried about what the Department of Health is working.

Well, he went for it tonight.

Yeah.

So I don't think it's going to be as wild as that black whopper from a few years ago.

That it can't be.

That's shocked a lot of people did.

Yeah, Well, I mean you got to believe there's going to be some some color impact on the on the output.

Right, I'll update you tomorrow probably, but don't.

Worry about the Frankenberry.

It's not the original bad from nineteen seventy two.

That's good, a pink stool, it's fine.

Terrifying, I mean, is it that surprising when you see what's going in and then it comes out and it's the same color as it should.

That be a shock.

I think, like, what do my fingers fall off in there?

What is this?

It's probably new at the time to have that there.

Yeah, I guess I can understand it.

Plus, it generally all comes out one color, no matter what you eat, so I guess that factors into it a little bit.

They weren't really pumping that many artificial colorings into things yet.

Maybe that's yeah, that and we went off the gold standard nearly seventies.

Everything's gone to shit afterwards.

Everything is artificial, everything is fake.

Those are the two things that happen.

Food and money are all fake.

Yeah, they're not tied to anything of value.

Never even had real food, no, no, not not either.

Yeah, man, I might have had some real food in the late sixties, but that that all that went out the window.

Man, We could be living till we're two hundred.

Yeah, Miss rattlehead Bev says beat Root turns her poop purple.

Nick got anything for that?

I'm on it.

It's gonna make a bake treat with beat Root.

And Roots TIBs on that band name b e A t all right, Yeah, that would be my Beatles tribute.

And with the Root Beatles in the style of the Roots.

I was just thinking, could call Quest up and see if he's gonna I thought.

I was like, oh, what are you going to be doing later?

And beat my Root have a beat Root later.

There you go, Beatles lyrics incorporated into the plot over Roots by.

Alex That would be good too.

Ah man, Yeah, yeah, that's uh beats, won't that color doesn't come off very easily?

You get beats.

I'm hoping for Pope stuff, but instead I got poop stuff, says Jeff Stroop.

We missed it by a couple of letters, close enough, Sorry, Jeff.

I have actually have some something to contribute here.

So the last two blood work things my like cuba hemoglobin and red blood cell count have been slightly low, so I started taking iron supplements.

Okay, the stool is a decidedly black hue and it has been.

Yeah, it's frightening, you know.

So that's that's the What is it like extra iron?

That's just ironing processed through your Biden.

It comes up black and it says road in the coal furnace.

Wow, yeah, up in the attic with Ace and George Harrison.

There you go.

That's not charcoal, it's irons.

That makes sense.

Yeah, so Grandpa does in the attic.

So yeah, we've all got something to contribute there.

I guess once Nick starts getting into the beat root, I'm.

Gonna look it up.

So you know, last week we had our Ace episode, got a couple of people asking us if we were going to do a tribute to olymp Biscuit because Sam Rivers passed away.

Not gonna do it, but we should acknowledge it.

Sure out of nowhere young guy gone forty eight years old.

Yeah, if they if they revealed any details there.

As far as I know know at this moment.

I thought I read that he had a history of illness though that's why I left the band, right, That's correct.

I didn't know he left the band.

I thought it was with them through this last like.

Ten years ago.

Or something, right, he was No, No, he left the band for a couple of years, like ten years, and he's been back.

Oh okay, I didn't know that he was active.

I guess I didn't read up.

And yeah, he was gone for a couple of years, many years ago because he had I think a liver transplant something or.

Something like that.

Yeah, I need that really.

Yeah, but dude, I didn't realize.

I don't know how old the other guys in the band are, but that would make him like twenty two, twenty three, twenty four at the peak, you know, like the Woodstock show, he would have been twenty two.

Crazy.

I had no idea, I thought, I'm I would have said probably like thirty or something.

You know, I couldn't twenty I couldn't operate buttonfly jeans at twenty three.

Oh man, and this guy's in the biggest band in the world.

Yeah.

Pretty wild.

But yeah, real bummer, Yeah, young shame.

Yeah, I've said up before.

I'll say it again, Limp Biscuit and at the fully understanding that I risk Jack leaving the chat when I say this.

But musically interesting, the guys, the players in the band have interesting things going on.

So sorry, to hear that news.

Yeah, who knows where it's gonna land.

But look we're not pausing spook tober for that.

Yeah, we've got business.

Yeah, but yeah, all right, it's going to be Nick's pick.

Huh yeah, Nick's final pick.

Or whatever, my shotgun pick.

My eight button still sticks.

After you spilled that tiger tail ice cream on my laptop, I turned it into you doing it.

It was me.

Well that's how history gets written.

Exactly.

You haven't contacted c CM.

It that fixed yet.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

The hockey company, Yeah, exactly, exactly.

I got a buddy who works over.

They're good with computers.

If they don't hit the key doesn't work, try warrior, see what they need for you.

Try to dig it out with the blade of a hockey skate.

That'll help Nick.

Are you ready?

I'm I never will be, So let's.

Do it anyway.

Are you gonna be able to read it from there?

No, you're gonna over surprise me.

Okay, you just want me to Okay, Yeah, I could come over, Okay, surse with my pat All right, here we go.

I don't need to know chink.

All right, all right, we got the number twelve O seven, one thousand, two hundred and seven.

Okay, oh wow, Okay, I saw what it is.

I'm gonna hide it from you guys.

I'm I'm trying to estimate in my head what letter the alphabet that might be.

Okay, well, the list goes up to eighteen eighteen.

Now, so that is spooky.

So you'll see twelve O seven yep.

Two thirds of the way through.

All right, well, twelve o seven, hell of a year.

I'll tell you that guy was pope at that time.

I don't know.

I know Chris knows what hid it.

Is?

Tripling it?

Why not?

I wasn't uh, I wasn't finding anything, and then you mentioned it and suddenly this little factoid bombed up.

So how do we always start off the segment?

Nick?

Who was pope?

Excuse me?

In twelve O seven?

Don't know which number, but I'm gonna go with Sylvester incorrect?

Well, hope Innocent the third.

That's another good, good one to guess.

Every song AKA not That Innocent Britney Spears tribute band playing at the Pope Innocent the Third declares for King Philip of Swabia as Holy Roman Emperor Hell Swabia.

I don't know.

I'm gonna look it up here in the Swabia, A reversal of his previous support for Philip's rival, Otto the Fourth Swabia.

That sounds honestly, Swabia sounds like something that would be on a map in a three stooges short.

Okay, it's within Germany.

Yeah, Swabia sounds like something that happens at a ladies doctors off.

I was gonna or something something that happens you're rethrow when you're experiencing a burning sensation down there and you go to the doctor.

If it checked out, King Q Tip of Swabia, there you go.

Chris Colorado just said, that's where Q tips.

You guys are on the same page.

Yes, reversal of his previous support for Phillip's rival, Auto the Fourth.

By the way, lymp Biscuits drummer, last name.

Auto, that's right?

Coincidence?

Yes, lymp Biscuits drummer was not alive in twelve oh seven.

Maybe one of his ancestors, this count Chocola one is damn good man.

That one turned out.

I don't even know why it's I used like the same amount of cereal and the same amount of everything else.

I just made the same thing twice, but the chocolate one turned out better.

The other one's a little bit harder for some reason.

Probably the dies or something, well, those colorful dies, something that mixes with your other ingredients that made it harder.

I don't know, I don't know.

It's kind of a science experiment this week.

Yep.

So it was Pope Otto or King Ottoto, just some dude named a fourth.

He told Pope Innocent to get the fuck up a bunch of times exactly, so he was his rival.

The fourth was the Holy Roman Emperor from twelve oh nine until his death in twelve eighteen.

Okay, well, okay, home stuff happened.

Here it is, and we've got our song.

The discerning members of pot Nation approve of Pope stuff, so everybody else can go to hell.

Okay, So this song that Nick polled I did is on the list three times.

Oh wow, three different people.

All right, So this might not be the disaster that I predicted.

Nope, but I think it'll be fun.

It's a different vibe than what we've gotten so far.

Before I sing anything else, let's turn the microphone over to Chris Jericho.

Hell This one's called give It to Me Baby off Us Street Songs, The Rick Jeans, My Goodness, Yeah, my goodness.

Spooktober rolled the dice and made it out unscathed and closing out on an extremely high note.

Yeah, actually I made a mistake.

It's on the list three times.

I said, three different people submitted twice by fielding Fowler two years apart, which, hey, I get it.

Can't you can't keep track of what you already submitted, and hey, why not load the list stuff with your favorites.

But also from Brad Gerber, let's start with Brad.

He says, Aired.

To the Baby Food admire.

It's nice to get him on board with us there.

Kind of like that or Taga guy.

We talked about hundreds of episodes.

Ago, Kenny Ortego, isn't it.

Air to the Taco Shell Fortune?

How great was that when Jericho mentioned Kenny Ortega like a few days later on TV.

Yeah, that was excellent.

That was fantastic.

So Brad Gerber, we want to do business.

We've got some ideas, but he says, Brad says, I heard this on a Top forty whoa rebroadcast from nineteen eighty one.

This morning, and the lyrics tell a tale as only Rick can tell it.

There you go, yeah, great, I'm seeing on Wikipedia.

I've never seen this before where it references something like I've seen disambiguation or you know, yeah, things along those lines when you're on an article.

But so give it to me.

Baby nineteen eighty one single by Rick James for the song by the Offspring, containing the line see pretty fly for.

A white guy.

It just contains the phrase it's it's sampled from Yeah.

So why is that even on there just because the phrase is in it?

Maybe people looked it up so many times.

Give it to me, But.

I've never seen that.

I've never seen that.

We're a Wikipedia where a lyric from another song is reference to the actually here.

It would be my question to Wikipedia on that.

It's the matter with you many our listeners hijack what Wikipedia pages with good humor and whacked immediately this bullshit.

First of all, referencing one of the worst songs in the history of recorded music.

That sucks.

Sucks, and to have it in the context of Rick James and and this song is a fucking abomination.

So this is the opening track?

This is it?

Huh?

Opening track?

Of side one or Side A opening.

Track of Side B Super Freak, so lead with your strongest meticus.

Let me tell you what Fielding says back in twenty twenty three, he said, Super Freak gets all the press, but give it to me.

Baby has no equal on this goddamn masterpiece of an album.

Field Fielding fun fact.

Rick James was once in a band with Neil Young and signed to Motown.

Record knew that.

I did not know that.

What was that band?

Oh't know?

Okay, I didn't know that either, And then last month Fielding says, okay, I had to pick one, but really, this entire album is pure horniness.

Actually this might have been submitted yeah, September.

He was probably looking for him, but we got it here in Spootober.

Shit.

His entire career is one big horny affair.

Like, can't condone him burning whoars with crack pipes.

Now, the guy put out some fantastic music in his damn writing.

Other people had to put out the fire.

Yeah.

Fun fact.

He was in a band with Neil Young, Yes, that one, and they were signed to Motown Records.

So there you go.

Oops, I just deleted it.

He is basically the fun fact was duplicated or what drops at parties to try and get laid.

The mina birds, He says.

No, you know Rick James in a band with Neil Young, take me right, the panty dropper, take me you animal?

That works in Fielding's world, so funny that arguably the thing Rick James is best known for is for the Dave Chappelle impression.

Yeah right, I would say, at least like in the last subsequent generation.

Yeah yeah, in the last thirty years.

Someone of my generation.

I mean, that's a brilliant thing.

It's become entrenched in pop culture, but street songs where he's essentially a male prostitute on the cover here and on the back he's being arrested, I believe.

Yeah, I mean, it's just it sets a tone, and like Fielding said, the whole album is of this subject matter.

And he's credited as soul songwriter and producer for the song for the whole album, well, for the song soul songwriter.

It looks like there are some co writes on the album, but I mean one gets the impression he is the absolute driving force here because it looks like super Free is the only song that was co written with anybody.

So that's the other thing.

My knowledge of Rick James was mc hammer and then later Chappelle's Show, and then over the years occasionally heard more.

And I still haven't heard that much Rick James, but I have heard more in the last ten years than I ever had any other time in my life.

And of course I believe he he certainly depicted as such in the video, but I think he produced Eddie Murphy's album that gave the world Party all the time.

Nick's favorite songs is.

An all time and classic.

You never heard it?

Nick, somehow has never heard it to this day, I never heard it.

Are you being serious?

Absolutely serious?

Never heard You have to do something about that, all right.

So here's the deal.

So this this kind of it's this is kind of a coincidence that the song came up and he said, here's the deal.

So okay.

So many years ago Nick talked about this, how people would always talk about this song and you know, mention the party all the time.

But I worked with a guy who would sing the chorus while he was walking around and I'm like, I've never heard that.

Song, And then other people had mentioned it.

Nick would say, I've never heard it.

I've never heard it.

I've never heard it.

They'd say, what are you talking about?

So then one day Nick's like, Nick had a nick idea.

Of all the Nick ideas.

This is the nickiest one, this is the nickiest idea.

He said, I'm going to write and record what I think Eddie Murphy's Party All the Time sounds like, based on what I heard one guy singing at work.

Yep, all right, and he did it many years ago.

That was probably what like fifteen years did it?

Alright?

Oh, it's fifteen twenty years twenty years ago.

Yeah, a long time ago.

Yeah, and you never went back and heard it to the real one.

Still haven't.

And I told Andy last week, I said, hey, maybe November.

I think I'm ready for the Party All the Time episode, But we're already.

I think it's going to have to be on the back burner though, because now we're getting Rick James right now.

That's not necessarily the reason why we can talk about it after the show.

But I've lined up some guests we could actually we'll talk about it more.

We could shoehorn it in with one of these guys.

How about this.

It's coming soon.

Yeah, before the end of the year.

I think it needs to happen.

My first listen will be now, do you have.

Your version that we can sort of compare?

I think, did you listen to it?

Did he come close?

Or do you not want to say?

At this point, I don't want to say, all right, let's save it all all right, it'll be fun and it was.

I mean, look, it's like one that I thought I'll go back and sing it better.

I don't have the tracks anymore, so.

It's just flattened or whatever.

It is.

What it is.

It's what it is.

And by the way, that will absolutely need to be a video watch along when it happened.

Just putting that out there right now, something to.

Look forward to.

All right, what are we doing here?

Oh?

Fielding said, no, his get laid?

Fact is the last white wait.

Hold on last white artists had hit for Motown?

Bruce Willis how about that?

Yeah, I can see that working for you.

I was just more thinking about the fact, but yeah, I can see that working.

Bruce will is still the return of Bruno is on Motown.

I had known That's what I was trying to think of the name of that that was on Motown.

Huh, All right, hey man, whatever whatever cash is, the checks.

He's still hanging in there as far as I know, I.

Think forget it, okay, completely, it was not a vetty substance.

Forget that.

Okay.

Well I was.

About to say it wasn't the California raisins on that, but no, they were on priority.

We already talked about that.

They just did motown covers.

So yeah, if what you were going to say is of no substance and we're cutting that out, we have no show.

Yeah, good, none of us.

I don't just mean you, I mean all three of us.

Well, if we're self editing things of no substance, we'll sit here in silence.

Okay.

The only thing we added out on this show is references to Phil Sousson and various members of Nitro.

So that's about it.

You have that those things didn't happen.

We're good.

All right, Then we're good this week.

Let's take a quick commercial break and we'll be right back.

Let's give it to me, baby.

I really enjoy that bass sounds so far it's a Now is he a is he a finger plucker?

Or is he a pick guy?

Primarily?

I mean, if if you're looking at the cover here his right hand would be in a position where he would play with his fingers.

I don't know for sure either way, but I would guess that he's a fingerstyle guy.

Because to my ears, this could be with a pick.

A little there's some some sharp attack.

Yeah, but yeah, I don't know for sure.

I'm just judging by what's on the cover there, and if he's he's pretending to be a male prostitute, I don't think the base technique is of top priority to be accurately depicted there.

But you know, I would I would guess he is a fingerstele guy.

But who knows.

Maybe goes back and forth depending on the application.

You know, both both approaches are legit.

I mean, you got purists to reject anybody who plays with a pick.

That's pretty ridiculous.

But they're idiots, they are.

But it sometimes, like you said, the sharp attack at the beginning of each note, it's it's the sound that you want.

It's desirable for certain styles of music.

Is you can make any sound with your fingers, That's what they say.

Anything that you could do with a pick, you can do with your fingers.

Yeah, we know that.

What else?

What else are you gonna tell us that fucking Booberry.

It turns your stool blue.

I mean, we we know that too, so just be quiet pointing out the obvious?

Is there anything worse?

People talking just to hear their own fucking voices?

Just shut up.

I don't want to hear that from anyone.

But you know there are over dubs on life and dangerous, don't you fuck off?

God, nobody who's ever done anything good has anything like that to say.

No, they don't.

No, they're just doing good stuff and living life.

Lashing out because of their own failures in life.

Yeah, all right.

Yeah, real far so good.

I mean obviously, Uh, super Freak is the song that's the pop culture icon icon, but back in the day, this is a close second.

This was on par with super Freak.

Just like you said, Andy, the mc hammer sample Uh probably uh, you know, ended that competition.

But back in the day, this is these This is a one two punch, and these these songs are on equal footing that as I recall.

You know what, and it's uh, it just popped into my head and I'm trying to look up some more details.

But I guess I can't say the of the album, but the Old Dirty Bastard song baby I Got Your Money the baseline, similar groove to what we're hearing so far, and he covered a Rick James song on that album.

If I'm not mistaken, I'm looking it up.

It won't let me type the name.

My fingers just won't do it, the name of the album, but.

Type it, say it out loud, Siri, bring up.

Let's see.

I'm trying to see which one it was, because I'm pretty sure and he kind of sounded like him because I had the I think I had that CD a while back.

You had that CD I'm talking about.

Unless he just oh wait, okay, is cold Blooded?

I don't know?

It says it's it's there's a song co written by Rick James on that album called cold Blooded.

So I don't know.

So it's either written for Old Dirty Bastard or.

It's an actual Yeah.

I don't.

I don't.

I don't know enough Rick James material.

Yeah, I'm not.

I don't know the answer to that question.

Yeah, all right, let's get back here.

It was a little synth things with the pitch wheel going on.

It was he was laying the foundation for a lot of what Prince did later.

And Andy would do that sometimes too.

Well, yeah, how could you not when you have the pitch wheel right there?

It's hard to resist that.

But no, and I hear that.

When I hear that, I associated with Prince.

And then as we're hearing this, Rick James sort of came down the pike with it first.

Although Prince was starting to get active around this time.

So, well, when did he uh tour with the Rolling Stones?

Was it eighty Prince?

Yeah?

Didn't he open for the Rolling Stones?

He did?

I think it was more like eighty two.

Well, now eighty one would have been the tattoo you tour, so maybe he was on that early.

I remember in Detroit it was Santana and Eddie Money or the Opener's Dan.

But he did he did open for the stones at some point.

But so this is what power funk?

Is that what the genre that were that?

Rick James is usually uh considered a I guess pioneer or leading figure in I think I've heard that, I've heard that phrase applied to him to Prince.

Even Ray Parker Junior, I think gets a little bit into that.

I don't know, it may even makes sense.

You ever heard of the Other Woman by Ray Parker Jr.

I don't know if I know that one.

That's a jam.

It's another one of this ear that's uh, that's premo shit, that one.

That's why when he came out with a Ghostbusters theme, it's like, Okay, I get it, he's doing it for a paycheck, but this is not Yeah, this is not the same guy who did the Other Woman.

There's a I've listened to some of the Ray Doo uh stuff our r A y d I.

Oh what is that?

That was Ray Parker Junior.

I guess that was the name of the group Radio some pretty good stuff that I heard from that.

This tribute band.

Yeah, there's a collab with our Ronnie James Dio.

Could have worked both bass players a little.

Been cool.

All right, let's keep going.

Last night, you wouldn't make love to me.

You would pastly, you wouldn't even talk to me.

He's like so crazy coming home with a game.

I'm already on her side here.

Yeah, yeah, she's got a Yeah, he didn't even invite her out because it wasn't all I got home from work, No, no, I was out getting in toxic.

He even used the word in toxico.

Yeah, comes home and expects to be made love to immediately.

You know it's asking a lot, it is.

I enjoy the I guess it's a guitar.

It could almost be keyboard the little f or he sings the line.

I don't know if you guys have noticed it.

It didn't sounds like a clean guitar, but it kind of has a it could be a synth sound.

That's I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to.

But little interjections after the vocal lines.

Yeah.

Nice.

Genuinely, Generally in funk recordings of this era, there's a lot going on, but it never gets too crowded.

There's every everything is in its own spot.

But it seems like a genre of music that would be really hard to write a song because it's I mean, he specialized in it, for sure.

Yeah.

But if you're leading with a bass line like that, do you have I mean, I don't know, does Rick James sit and Okay, I've got a couple of chords here.

Now I'm gonna write the bass line like a repetitious bass line to it.

I'm assuming it's the bassline and the beat our first, and then you kind of lay your stuff on top.

Of it, which to me sounds pretty difficult.

Mm hmm.

Yeah, well it seems like quite a skill works for Rick.

Huh, just a different way of doing only did.

Yeah, certainly did with this.

He might be elated from the cocktail of drugs he's on from his evening out Concaine, nexstasy, go down the list.

He took it all.

That's some truth.

Thunderous those couple of drum hits, Yeah.

Like an on stage percussionist or something.

He probably had one.

I mean you probably had a dozen people on stage.

Yeah, I hear that guitar thing.

Now, it's cool.

I think it's just a clean guitar.

It almost sounds like the like the pitch shifted.

Maybe it is touching on it a little bit.

I don't know, but I don't know.

But it's cool.

Yeah, it's it's like like a Rod Temperton almost composition.

And who is that He wrote thriller and a lot of stuff for heat wave and stuff like that.

All right, So to me, that's I'm getting vibes like that.

This was the sound of early eighties, mid eighties, you know, late seventies, all that stuff to the top tier artists of the genre.

You know, they struck gold with it, and they mind it as much as possible, and God bless them for it.

Give me that stuff that fulk, that's sweep, that focused stuff, Give me that stuff that folk that sweep, that focused.

Stuff that's say, what is very familiar?

I'm going to try to find what song that might have been inspired by.

I have a.

I have like a seventies dance music playlist, and I will be looking through it.

I won't waste everybody's time right now as I look.

But the just the way that woman said that both times, say what, Yeah, it's it's very familiar.

I'm going to look it up here, but you can continue if you like.

Sure.

I was just gonna say, this is one of those songs where, even if you don't know it's Rick James or so I don't know any Rick James music, you could hear this part of the song be like, oh yeah, I've heard that on whatever, target commercials or something even like to this day, it pops up and stuff.

An absolute classic.

You can't avoid this one.

This is one that's just in your life somewhere, movie soundtracks, commercials, whatever.

In fact, I would say in recent years it may have overtaken super Freak in terms of how often it's utilized.

Obviously, like we talked about the mc hammer sample, just blew super Free through the stratosphere.

But back in the day they were on equal footing.

And I think in recent years, like within the past five years or so, I think you hear give it to me baby more often.

I think so.

Super Free because quite frankly, super Freak was run into the ground in the early nineties.

That's true.

But also this has gained popularity because of the I Can have It movement.

That's true.

I can have it.

It's the same thing basically, it is.

It's a it's a it's a great movement.

It's you know, I should run on that platform for president.

Yeah.

I found the song just in case anybody.

I know it's a very brief moment in this song, but they'll say what just like the song I got my Mind made up in parentheses.

You can get it by instant funk.

It's a good name.

You can get it also, you can get it girl also in the in the wheelhouse that I Can Have It movement.

Yeah.

So if anybody, if anybody's feeling this song.

Particularly should be everybody.

And wants to listen to some more some more funk.

I recommend that one.

I'm not familiar with that one.

I'm gonna have to add that.

That's pretty cool.

It's a nice one to see now that horn arrangement would would make this song would be very much at home in a disco club, which eighty one Disco was on its way out, but it was still you know, the clubs were still open, people were still into it.

Disco singles and albums were still being released.

So I think this was kind of a bridge track, you know, still still connected in some way to the disco movement.

And I would say mostly because that horn arrangement.

Well the really like the really rapid fire right, Yeah, that's another song on my list that to recommend if you're into that kind of horn playing.

Lovely one by the Jacksons.

So some great great stuff here.

I think she said, come on Rick, the lyrics missed that.

Come on Baby just said baby.

The little drive fucking slip up by Apple, another one ship.

Two weeks, all the Apple employees sitting around typing the lyrics?

How do you not?

How do you ignore a name check of Rick James?

That's you know, some some fucking white asshole in Silicon Valley pulled that move.

Some disrespectful exactly all that food coloring they ingested as a child, it's affected their judgment.

Stupid apple, motherfucker disrespect.

Well, they messed up the last word of the Ace Fraley song last year, last week.

It'll be fine.

It's gonna be this place.

This place is gonna be fine.

I'm gonna blow up the earth.

This place is gonna be.

Terrible.

Ship company up.

When you kids are moving, they ve please maybe they stop there.

That's interesting.

It's like a gang vocal.

Every so often you can hear it sounds like a woman's voice, kind of overpowering his.

Mm hmm.

What a lot of a lot of little a word.

I enjoy a little.

It's a production to sy mixing up a little bit now that I'm We're never worry about more than halfway through.

I'm just I'm remembering that this was a staple at high school dances.

Yeah, I would think it absolutely got played every time.

This and like rock lob stir, that happened at every dance and we loved it.

So yeah, this is this is huge, huge.

I'm trying to think of what commercial this is like within the last ten fifteen years, it was this song was featured in a commercial and it was probably just some kind of a store.

Like some retail outlet had this.

I can't think of what it was though, I can't remember either, but.

It's funny, interesting, sometimes unfortunate how you can't get that out of your head to tie into a commercial inclusion.

But that's what it is.

If I had a song that that a major company wanted in a commercial, I would say, yes, why not?

I think so too.

I mean money is money, So I know, like all these artists who are cashing out their catalogs before they kick it, you know, once side of their hands.

I mean, that's the whole point of acquiring these song catalogs, especially for the price tag.

It's to get that advertising money.

So you're gonna be hearing a lot more of that if you haven't already.

But yeah, our friend Grox says.

Walmart recently featured Rick James give it to Me Baby, and a holiday theme TV commercial for its app shows a mom treating herself to a gift via same day pickup there, you know, late twenty twenty three.

Okay, so that was probably the one I think I.

Think there was one even earlier than that, but.

I think it's probably been.

Your guess that it was a store was accurate, So there you go.

Yeah it was.

It wasn't too specific a guess.

But their same day pickup's no good at Walmart?

Oh was it a lie?

What are they adopting the Apple model?

They promised you sitting and don't deliver.

I tried it once.

This is many years ago, so maybe things have changed since then.

I don't know how you even know how many years ago, but I tried one time, and you had to pick a time to pick it up.

It wasn't like okay, so like if you do at Target or whatever, you place the order and then it's like it'll be ready within two hours, and then anytime text yeah, and anytime after that, text us when it's done, or text us when you get here, and we'll bring it out to you.

With Walmart, it was like pick a time in this window and then we'll bring it to you.

Not you can come whenever you want.

You had to schedule a time that you'd be there.

I don't know what I'm going to be there.

How do I know?

I got going on.

Cable company that I'll pull up.

I'm the goddamn customer.

Yeah, show up whenever I damn well feel like it, And you better have my ship.

Where's my ship?

Is what I would say.

I had a actually had a weird experience at Walmart with that, but I went into what.

Haven't you had a weird experience anywhere?

That's true?

Well, Andy reminded me of it, because you're talking about waiting in your car, which I don't trust.

I know, I always get out and go and try to get my stuff.

You don't trust.

I don't trust people are actually going to come out and bring me things.

All right.

Well, I've been burned at the Pizza Hut curbside delivery way too many times.

Okay, Like they're never coming out?

Are they going to say the same thing has happened to me With McDonald's.

You order in the app and pull up at the spot.

It's supposed to be faster.

They don't even look at the mobile orders.

They're working the drive.

That's there's two kids organizations that the mobile app and the actual physical location.

Complete fucking they know nothing about what the others do.

All of it is complete bullshit, and it's all the Apple business model.

My my Walmart one was I went to go pick up something and I so I had to go walk to the back of the store where the pickup.

Couldn't put it in the front.

No, it was in back.

So I'm standing there and people are nice wanting past your item to go pick up your item basically, and so I'm standing there and they're holding the item.

And I paid for it online.

So they're holding the item and these two ladies and they're they're like war with it and they.

Can't give it to me because they can't give it to me baby, because they have to figure out how to process it in their on their computer first.

So I paid for it and I'm standing there, they're holding it.

They cannot hand it over.

Like fifteen minutes go by.

And I don't usually complain at stores, you know, but I just said, hey, I was going to get other stuff.

I could come back, and they're like no, no, no, and they figured it out right away.

I don't know.

It's it's this whole thing.

There's there's there's a handshake that's not happening between mobile apps.

But that's the whole point to get you in the store.

So you buy more ship.

Yeah, but they weren't intending to buy.

But then you get there and they're like, we don't we were not prepared somehow they're they're not there.

Lack of preparedness means you've got nothing else to do but fucking browse around and buy more ship that you were playing on buying.

You're messed up.

It's just you know, it's wrong.

It's it's bait and switch fucking jive.

That's wrong.

Is it messed up?

That's just how the world works.

I think it was a bicycle horn everybody's and I wanted to reach across.

You wanted to make sure that they didn't run out of bicycle horn.

I don't know how many had to have that.

I don't know.

I don't know how many good honks are in it.

And I was like, I hope they're not honking it if you're wasting all the honks, just a finite amount of honks on that thing.

Yeah, that balloon a honk or He said that.

You gotta believe that wears out at some point, you know, But now it's everybody's running a fucking scam to get your money.

Yeah, none of it's above board.

Yeah, it's almost fucking bullshit.

And it's it's been it's it's date dated back decades.

Yeah.

Well and I guess they changed the food in the seventies.

That's that was it.

And the gold.

Yeah well yeah, when when we got off the gold standard, it was over.

I mean, money is nothing.

Your your bank balance is a number on a piece of paper or a computer screen.

It's not tied to anything.

Well arbitrary, that's why they print money.

Oh we need more money, print more money.

It's not tied to anything.

It's not tied to a a finite thing like it used to be.

The the gold and Fort Knox.

That's what all the money is is tied to that.

Not anymore.

Remember a few months back, maybe it was more than that, but I forgot who it was.

Was an Elon Musk or someone was gonna go to Fort Knox and the gold or something see if it was actually there.

And then it was like, you're not going this is not happening.

That was the end of that.

I just don't get to walk into Fort Knox.

But there was no report released or not.

It was just shut up, you're not getting any No one is going to talk about what's in here.

That's the end of the story, exactly, move on right, not at all suspicious.

Press this issue.

It won't end well for you.

Yep, yep.

So well, once stool charged started changing colors, well yeah it is.

You know, once we once the human body turned into the ninety six pack of Creolas with the sharpener.

It used to be a one pack, yeah, used to until just a one pack till the artificial ingredients got in the serial.

Seriously, everybody's in order to get your money.

Everybody's running a fucking scam.

Every warranty is a scam.

Yeah, that's true.

Don't get andy started.

I don't want to.

Don't get any normal.

Person, anyone who's had it happen.

What do you expect.

I mean, we've talked about it on here.

It's like, yeah, maybe they'll probably honor it, but it ain't gonna be on your terms.

You'll get that ship fixed eight months from now maybe.

And they're gonna make it very different, right, they're.

Gontr fucking refrigerator.

You can't Yeah right, you can't wait eight months for that.

So you're you're done.

You lost, you lost the battle.

They want to frustrate you to the point of giving up.

Right, it's a war of attrition which I will always win two and zero.

Yeah, but I can take it.

I can take it for you.

I can't have it.

I can take the suffering.

You're you're on a no warranty list.

We don't give this guy anymore warranty.

Like, are you interested in and then once you pross, once you swipe your card something right.

Never mind, world, he's on the National Warranty Registry.

Never sir, He's got to go around his neighborhood and knock on front door, say, by the warranty registry.

If you work for a company the dishes out warranties, I'm not allowed to have them.

Thank you, sir, having a nice day.

That's the mentality behind the war of attrition of warranties.

I'll make you holler you've had enough.

But Andy's still standing there saying give it to me.

Andy is the outlier right here.

I mean, just give it to me, baby, that's Andy.

Just just give it, Just give it to me.

I'm not going under warranty.

Just give it up.

I'm gonna.

I'm gonna.

I'll happily be transferred again to another That's fine, do it again.

Did they ever accidentally disconnect your call and you had to call that.

I don't know if that ever did with warranty, but that's happened to me with other things.

When you were waiting for like cable company or medical thing or something.

He just clicks off and you were waiting for like thirty minutes.

All right, it'll it'll all of a sudden start ringing and say that that please call back during normal business.

You just went home during your eight time.

Yeah, they hit the whole button and then punched out.

It's the world we live in and we have lived in it for decades.

Just fucking accept it.

Yeah, well, Andy's a and he's not going anywhere everybody.

I'll wait, keep me on hold overnight.

I don't care well and the other the other things.

Companies are notorious for that, or the shipping companies.

You know, you want to hear horror stories about that ship.

You know, talk to tar nerd or two who's buying and selling on eBay and stuff.

You could take your you could take your item to the ups store, pay extra to have them pack it.

It gets destroyed and shipping you called a file claim They deny it.

The first salvo doesn't matter what the situation is claimed denied.

So the intention is half at least half of you are probably just gonna say, okay, right, but you have the right to cut through appeal or whatever.

But it doesn't if you even if you had them pack it opening salvo claim denied.

So you have to be prepared for that, and then the back and forth starts.

Who's going to be the last man stadding in the situation, Yeah, everybody's running a fucking scam.

Yeah.

I would love to hear how that is planned in a meeting in one of these companies of how are we gonna make hurdles?

There have to be language used that's not outright illegal, but it has to be communicated that we are not going to make this easy to give our money away.

At back at Playboy.

One of the things with the with the pay site and this is a this is a month long battle between we'll just used the initials SGS in the legal department.

He had it.

He insisted that the box next to the auto renewal was automatically checked when you signed up, and legal is like, you can't do that.

You have to It has to be the other way around.

SGS is like, I'm not relenting on this.

This is how we make our money.

And it went back and forth for months and finally they legal one.

But he was he was digging his heels in on that.

It's like, I'm going to have that box checked.

It's gonna be as far down in the screen as it can possibly be so you don't even notice it.

I want people to miss it.

And you know, if they cancel after one automatic renewal, they weren't expecting we still got their money.

And he said that in so many words and meetings I was in interesting.

So it's that you wonder what goes on in the meetings.

That's so, I guess.

I guess it is said out loud it is Wow, everybody's running a scam except us.

We'd like to think we deliver on our promise.

So I hope.

So everybody got a pin that ordered a pin?

Right?

Yeah?

I think so a few of those left.

Oh did you hear that?

Everybody?

I thought you lost those when you had your house remodeled.

They wouldn't remember where everything was.

They were just packed away.

So we found them.

I have them.

There are there's a handful single digit.

We have to come up with someone incentive.

For the time.

Time is running out everybody.

Yeah, I'll have to look how many are left.

But they're in my desk drawer and where they are.

Excellent stocking stuff right here.

Yeah, and the I'm a Boner doctor, the inspired stickers, the whole stack of those two.

Are the ones you have.

They're all autographed.

Yeah, they are man autographed too.

Enamel pins and the pot of Thunder logo with autographs by the hosts.

Oh my goodness.

Yeah, I heard there's a warranty on it too, just in case if the enamel chips off.

That's right, Yeah, you've the number, final acclaim the initial salvo is it's denied.

Anyway, way off track here, let's go back to something enjoyable, which is this song.

That stuff that funk, that sweep, that bunk stuff, gim and that stuff that funk, that sweep, that focus stuff stuff.

I'm assuming if he's the sole writer of this, that horn line is coming from him.

He was a musical genius.

Absolutely, he was on par with Prince in terms of could play every instrument, master, producer, arranger, checked all the boxes.

Fielding Fowler, says Melvin Franklin from the Temptations is doing that bass backing vocal.

Interesting, that's cool.

Thank you, Fielding all your motown information.

That's another one he uses to get laid at parties.

You know that, dude for the Temptations that the bass back vocal and give it to me.

I'll meet you in the bedroom five minutes.

Excellent.

He's going for the with the what you say, just bringing it home, trying stuff.

It's just ramping it up for the big ending.

It's doing characters here.

I love you, threw in there, give it to me right away.

Yeah, tossed one of those.

And I'm sorry to have to correct Fielding.

That's actually thorough Raven's Croft doing the low park.

I'll see, I'll see myself out.

There.

You go, those Jim nighbors.

All right.

One more note here.

He said that the Temptations appeared on several Rick James songs, and he returned the favor for them on their record of the eighties Bang Me Baby.

I didn't know the Temptations had banged the baby.

Trying to get with the times.

Prop was a rolling stone worked out, so that was kind of a reinvention.

All right, Well, it's time to vote sweet Surrender or Kicking the Cross, Nick, you picked this song?

I know the listener submission lists.

Who knew I would pick such a such a good one, Sweet Surrender, Sweet Surrender?

Who hell yeah?

I love this kind of music, so no, really, nothing bad to say about it.

Great performances, cool melodies, really uh really nice arrangement, lots of lots of little bells and whistles thrown in.

Just it's it's what you want from the style of music.

So there you go, Chris.

It's the sweetest of sweet surrenders.

Hell yeah.

Yeah.

Absolute classic, I mean, unassailable, perfect, iconic.

That's it.

It's incredible, amazing song, all time.

Classic Sweet Surrender for me.

Hell yeah, I think that was the Arctic Monkeys.

We're talking about playing a different melody and not strumming chords, but playing a melody on an instrument and then singing something else.

Oh, it's two different things to be doing.

That's what Rick James is doing this whole time.

Is a pain in the ass.

Makes me want to look up live performances of Rick James, which I don't think I've ever done in my life.

I'm sure they're out there.

Because yeah, that's guitarist singer.

I can see where that makes sense.

Bassist singer.

That's that just sounds like that's chewing gum and walking or roller skating or whatever.

When we had Todd kerns on, I was like, do you play that bassline for Always on the Run when you sing it?

He's like, no, I can you know?

Yeah, so it's difficult thing to do it unless you're staying of course that's right.

Episode Yeah, well it's uh.

I gotta believe prime Rick James.

The live show was on par with like Parliament Funk and Alec or someone who's like twenty people on stage just pure may.

I'm up there, but I could be wrong.

I too have not consumed.

I don't think any live Rick James for fan.

Yeah, well maybe tomorrow will be the day.

I think he had a live album out that was somewhat notable.

He was on the old Gray Whistle test for our listeners across the Pond.

It'd be fun to watch, all right, look where we found ourselves.

I got a question for you.

Paul Stanley wants to know should he get to me baby?

Should he be doing this instead of the Elder in nineteen eighty one?

Yeah, the answer is yes, more of this, less of that.

My boat is in.

Mine is in as well, Mine's in me, Chris Andy, Yes, okay, I'm gonna give it a rock roll, big ass boneas.

This just popped into my head for some reason.

But you know those clips of Rick James, I think they were on Chappelle's show right where he was actually talking about stuff, or was it something else where he was talking.

I don't know, But from that era, Rick James is retelling stories of the past and the way he speaks, his speech pattern and his whole you know, I don't know what you want to call that, like post Maybe he was still using substances, but you could tell that he was impacted permanently by the decisions he made in his life.

The way he is in those clips is how Dennis Rodman is now when you see him in an interview.

Is it?

They remind me of each other.

How they look but the way they speak.

They both deny that Larry Bird schooled them.

I didn't know that ever happened.

He didn't know that.

They won't allow it.

Yeah, well, this a classic line.

Cocaine's a hell of a drug.

And I'm sure at some point Rick James yelled, I love ass in a parking lot in Los Angeles.

Well, we don't know that for sure, but.

I think we I think it's fine to say it for sure happened.

I think there's He probably yelled it in every city in America, in a hotel, every city in America, every gas station yelled at had someone walking in or out.

Well, this this month ended up being somewhat triumphant.

Well lucky, not a bad thing.

I mean, yeah, some of the really awful stuff would have made for some good episodes.

But I'm not complaining that we got two and a half quality tunes this month.

Yeah, so yeah, all right, Well if you disagree with us, we're sorry.

He is Street Songs.

Rick James is like, that's his most popular album.

Oh yeah, yeah.

I mean he's got eleven or twelve of them out, but yeah, that's the one.

That's the one.

We're picking one.

All right, Okay, Well let's take a quick commercial break.

We'll be right back with another segment.

Maybe where to go around here somewhere, Yeah, whatever, we'll find it.

I'll cut it out just here somewhere.

I don't worry, we'll cut it out.

This is good this is good stuff.

This is prime.

Yeah, that's good.

I had it.

It went somewhere.

Just the hell happened?

Dude?

I don't know, poor Andy, but I'll say this, and he needs a moment.

He needs a moment to find out.

Only Lord you had to call out Lord Josea to bail you out.

Happy forty eighth birthday to Lord.

Hose He always gets a job done.

Does all?

Right?

Nick, it's time?

What for?

What?

Get your notebook out?

What the jokes?

The jokes, the jokes, come.

On, oh dear, the most polarizing segment.

Since I don't know about that.

I think most people like it isn't really that pole.

Shouldn't be hope.

Stuff is way more polarizing because you've got a lot of Heathenis bastards out there.

Who doesn't like a corny joke?

Come on, especially when it's completely original and not sourced from anywhere else.

Yeah right, And I'll bet you if you ran it through a chat GBT detector would still say it came from chat Gibt's such a bullshit.

Don't get me going on that.

But that that is the solo requirement.

So if anybody has jokes, well, this is the last week for Halloween.

Yeah, yeah, we might extend it into holidays coming up themes.

Well, let's just say that I might be prepared if that happens.

All right, Well, you said you got what four six?

I have like six Halloween jokes.
