Episode 602
Max Webster, Bob and Doug, and the World Premiere of the Wheel
The Wheel O' Spite makes its world premiere. Max Webster gets the deep dive it has always deserved. And the shed is still not done.
Episode 602 starts as a catch-up and turns into something much more — a sprawling, deeply Canadian conversation that somehow connects lawn maintenance, beard oil, a cat with strong opinions, and one of the most passionate music deep dives the show has done in recent memory.
The Wheel O' Spite stinger debuts on air for the first time. A spin leads somewhere unexpected. As it always should.
Then Kim Mitchell. Max Webster. A Versus segment that most listeners won't see coming. Two legendary guest appearances by the same iconic voice — head to head. Only one can win.
Along the way there's Canadian nostalgia you didn't know you needed, a corporate cancellation saga that will make you feel seen, and a Montreal music story that stopped both of them cold.
A new patron joins the family. The Wheel has officially spun.
This episode features:
- The world premiere of the Wheel O' Spite stinger — written and recorded by Sean and Todd
- A Versus segment involving two legendary guest vocal appearances by a very familiar voice
- A deep dive into one of Canada's most underappreciated rock careers
- Angine de Poitrine and a Montreal music story nobody saw coming
- Todd's shed update — rain, humidity, and a neighbor's suspiciously bare lawn
- A new patron announcement

Welcome to the Sean.
Speaker A:Sean Geek.
Speaker B:Sean Geek.
Speaker A:And the fastest bet in the podcast.
Speaker A:Yeah, you got it, folks.
Speaker A:It's me again with a little aptitude for all you out here in white bread land.
Speaker A:Let's see, we're on 92 FM.
Speaker A:Feels like a nice clean little band so far.
Speaker A:No one else is using it.
Speaker A:The price is right.
Speaker A:Sit down, Waldo.
Speaker A:I'm cutting it short.
Speaker A:I want to get into this.
Speaker A:Sit down, Waldo.
Speaker A:Holy.
Speaker A:Okay, so I don't know if you realize that we released a different episode yesterday on Monday, episode 601.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker A:Because last week was Canada Day and the U.S. holiday and Sylvia was off.
Speaker C:Work and just busy.
Speaker A:I.
Speaker A:You know what?
Speaker A:She's on holidays.
Speaker A:And I'm like, okay, I wasn't going to do the old.
Speaker A:Well, you know, I'm gonna record tonight on your holidays, so we can't hang out together.
Speaker A:So I made myself available all week and that's what we did.
Speaker C:Sweet.
Speaker A:So do you know what we released?
Speaker C:I saw your post.
Speaker C:I can't remember.
Speaker A:So I re released.
Speaker A:So I'll tell you the story.
Speaker A:And also the other thing I did, which I started doing, which we did last episode, was what did we talk about last time that we need to follow up on?
Speaker A:Because we always fucking forget.
Speaker A:So I also, I also did that.
Speaker A:So, okay, so, okay, so yesterday, which is a week ago for everyone else, I went back into the treasure trove of our 600 episodes and rediscovered and re listened to when we interviewed Daryl Door from the Killer Dwarfs.
Speaker C:Yes.
Speaker A:Do you remember that?
Speaker C:Yes.
Speaker A:I think we should have some dwarfs playing in the background as we do this.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:What am I going to do?
Speaker A:Which song?
Speaker A:Heavy Metal Breakdown.
Speaker A:Here, I'm gonna, I'm gonna pick one here now.
Speaker A:I'm gonna do this one.
Speaker A:I done mining.
Speaker A:I done hard rock mining.
Speaker A:I done copper mining.
Speaker A:Gold mining.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker A:I was one of the toughest in the west.
Speaker B:Oh, yeah.
Speaker A:All right, so I'm going to Method to the madness, which was.
Speaker A:I think it was.
Speaker A:They mentioned it.
Speaker A:You can hear me.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker A:Yep.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:So that was.
Speaker A:I think this is the album that he was mentioning.
Speaker A:They had some trouble getting back.
Speaker A:Or maybe this is the album they had because they didn't own their own catalog because the record label and buffoonery.
Speaker C:Right.
Speaker A:So I.
Speaker A:So Tony Griggs, one of our top fans, one of our patrons on our Patreon, he,.
Speaker D:He.
Speaker A:He said.
Speaker A:He sent me a.
Speaker A:A Spotify playlist and he said, hey, here's some, you know, here's some 80s anthem, some hair bands.
Speaker A:That you don't know.
Speaker A:He said, how about I make a mix for you?
Speaker A:So I said, okay.
Speaker A:He said, do you own any Tesla?
Speaker A:I said, well, yeah, I own a lot of Tesla.
Speaker A:Do you own any of this?
Speaker A:Well, you know, I already, you know.
Speaker A:So he tried to make me a.
Speaker A:A hair metal playlist of bands maybe I didn't know.
Speaker C:Okay, so from the 80s, and you probably knew them all.
Speaker A:You know what?
Speaker C:You would know more than anyone.
Speaker D:Sure.
Speaker A:You know what?
Speaker A:I knew a lot of the band names, but I didn't know the songs.
Speaker C:Okay, so.
Speaker A:Which is great.
Speaker A:It was.
Speaker A:It was a good.
Speaker A:It was a good discovery.
Speaker A:But, you know, part way through the list, Killer Dwarf, Killer Dwarfs comes on.
Speaker A:I'm like, well, I know these.
Speaker A:These guys.
Speaker A:We had them on our show.
Speaker A:So I was kind of conversing with Tony, and I'm like, you know, we had them on the show.
Speaker A:And he goes, what episode was that?
Speaker A:Well, 341 and 342, I think is what it was.
Speaker A:And I said, you know what?
Speaker A:Screw it.
Speaker A:I'm going to actually take episode 341 and 342, mush them up together, and then re release that as a.
Speaker A:As an episode.
Speaker A:Because based on the original downloads, most people miss those two episodes.
Speaker A:Oh, it had less downloads then our freaking banana seat episode by a long mile.
Speaker A:Our co. Wham, bam, Covid spam episode.
Speaker A:Okay, that's one of our top tens.
Speaker A:That was way more popular.
Speaker A:I'm like, well, that's why.
Speaker C:Probably someone like banana seats or what.
Speaker A:Everybody likes banana seats.
Speaker A:But that was also when you did the sexy Trump tweets.
Speaker C:Oh, yeah.
Speaker A:So that would mean.
Speaker A:Come on.
Speaker C:I think I did one of those when I.
Speaker C:My throat was just torched.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker C:Right after Keycon, I think.
Speaker C:I think I did that one, didn't I?
Speaker A:Yeah, I believe so.
Speaker C:Yeah, I got it somewhere.
Speaker A:But anyway, so.
Speaker A:But this episode wasn't big enough.
Speaker A:And to be honest, you know what?
Speaker A:I know Daryl is the drummer for the Killer Dwarfs.
Speaker A:Now, if it had been Russ, the singer from Killer Dwarfs, maybe people would be a bit more interested because some reason drummers somehow take a back seat to offend popularity.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker C:That sucks.
Speaker A:It's not fair.
Speaker A:I mean, come on.
Speaker A:You know, and.
Speaker A:And Daryl's a great guy.
Speaker A:When he came like, that was one that was like.
Speaker A:You know, when we had Billy Alexander on, that was kind of like.
Speaker A:You're like, oh, my God.
Speaker A:This is like.
Speaker A:This is like the peak.
Speaker A:And it was a peak moment for sure.
Speaker A:But when we had Daryl Dwarf on to me, that was like a peak moment.
Speaker A:Like, I can't, like, I, I, we.
Speaker A:I grew up on these guys and they're on our show.
Speaker C:Well, exactly.
Speaker C:It's.
Speaker C:It's like, wow.
Speaker C:Small.
Speaker C:It's almost like, you know, in the post.
Speaker C:Small world, it would be like you would have bumped into them somewhere at Tim Hortons or something.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker D:Hey.
Speaker A:And I think it was one like, so I'm listening.
Speaker A:So I'm re listening to it, right?
Speaker A:And then I'm like, oh, my God, I am such a horrible interviewer.
Speaker C:Why.
Speaker A:Hey, Daryl, do you do any yoga?
Speaker A:Like, off, like, come on, dude.
Speaker A:He's like, oh, yeah, dude.
Speaker A:Oh, yeah.
Speaker C:I have to.
Speaker C:I'm a drummer.
Speaker E:Yeah.
Speaker A:I mean, that's what he said.
Speaker A:Like, it's the only reason I can, you know, play it at.
Speaker A:At my age, because he's a few years older than us and he was just basically saying, you know, like, like, like, I do yoga, like, every day.
Speaker A:So it was interesting.
Speaker A:And it just goes to show, like, we don't follow rules.
Speaker A:We don't just do what we're gonna do.
Speaker C:Yeah, exactly.
Speaker C:Like, if you're on.
Speaker C:I don't know if I'm on an algorithm, when you call it on YouTube, but I'll, you know, start listening to bands and stuff.
Speaker C:And all of a sudden you start getting these weird things, you know, people playing acoustic or whatnot.
Speaker C:And then you get these old grannies playing.
Speaker C:Playing drums as they could.
Speaker C:Oh, yeah, that's pretty freaking good.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker C:It's like, wow.
Speaker A:But the granny's playing drums.
Speaker A:That sounds like a good band name.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:Here, I'm gonna.
Speaker A:I gotta mute my.
Speaker A:I'm trying to mute my, My, My dick cord because I.
Speaker A:Everyone's like, posting probably on the podcast Will rock and turn it off.
Speaker C:They're stream.
Speaker A:They're streaming tonight.
Speaker A:They stream every Tuesday.
Speaker C:Oh, okay.
Speaker A:Quit discord.
Speaker C:There we go.
Speaker A:Get rid of that.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:Okay, so what?
Speaker A:Well, let's see what our.
Speaker A:Sorry, I'm having a cream liqueur in my coffee.
Speaker A:Okay, so this late?
Speaker A:Well, coffee.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:It's stupid.
Speaker A:We have to talk about your progress on your shed.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker C:Progress on my shed.
Speaker A:In the meantime, I'm gonna switch to hair bands.
Speaker A:The.
Speaker A:The hair Bands for Robert playlist coming courtesy of Tony Griggs.
Speaker A:And I'll put that in the background shuffle play.
Speaker A:Here we go.
Speaker A:Nice.
Speaker A:Okay, sorry, go ahead.
Speaker A:Okay, so we have to update your progress.
Speaker C:Update on the progress for the.
Speaker A:The Shit.
Speaker C:I have zero news on the.
Speaker C:Because I've been Too busy cutting the grass.
Speaker A:Oh, my God.
Speaker A:Well, that would.
Speaker A:It said we got to follow up on the rain, the gravel, the lumber in the shed.
Speaker C:Well.
Speaker A:Well, let's talk about this rain.
Speaker C:Well, it's like you have to mow the lawn between rainstorms.
Speaker C:So that's kind of been the thing.
Speaker C:So when you look at the weather goes, okay, it's supposed to be thunder.
Speaker C:Thunderstorms in the afternoon.
Speaker C:It's like, well, I'm not going to go grab the wood.
Speaker C:And then I have to try and find a place to store it.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:And then everything warps because of all the humidity and whatnot.
Speaker C:So I figured, you know what?
Speaker C:I'll just wait until we have, you know, some good weather.
Speaker C:And every weekend it's been shitty, so I can't.
Speaker C:Like, was it here.
Speaker C:It's raining.
Speaker C:I think they got.
Speaker C:Was it droughts out in.
Speaker E:In.
Speaker C:In Quebec or whatever.
Speaker B:And.
Speaker A:Yeah, they're having a heat wave.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Just the weather's all funky everywhere.
Speaker C:So I don't know if it's just because it's the biggest beginning of summer, it's going to tone down.
Speaker C:I don't want.
Speaker C:See, when I do my work outside, it has to be in the spring when it's cooler, when it's hot.
Speaker C:I just can't function outside.
Speaker C:It's just too hot.
Speaker A:Y.
Speaker C:It just.
Speaker C:It's miserable.
Speaker C:I'm miserable.
Speaker A:I can't.
Speaker C:You know, you don't want to do anything outside.
Speaker C:So that's why.
Speaker C:So I've been kind of waiting in between the rain, but, you know, July is already here, so once the heat hits, it's gonna be like, well, what am I gonna do now?
Speaker C:Wait till fall?
Speaker C:I don't really have to do that.
Speaker A:Not in the fall, though.
Speaker C:But I mean, if I have to, I have to.
Speaker C:But I'd like to.
Speaker C:To get some.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Some nicer weather.
Speaker C:So that's what I've been doing.
Speaker C:I've been mowing the lawn.
Speaker C:That's.
Speaker C:That's been kind of the thing, mowing the lawn.
Speaker C:It's.
Speaker C:And.
Speaker C:And my neighborhood.
Speaker C:It's weird because you look outside and then it's grown a little bit.
Speaker C:So you look at my neighbor's yard, and he mows it.
Speaker C:So then now mine looks too long.
Speaker A:Oh, yeah.
Speaker C:So it's like, okay, well, I'm gonna have to go out there and eventually go mow it.
Speaker C:So then I'll go mow mine, and then it'll be shorter than his.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:And then it just goes back and forth.
Speaker C:He's got Nice grass.
Speaker C:My grass is like.
Speaker C:Like if I left it on its own, it just has like dry spots and stuff.
Speaker C:And it's just dandelion weeds and crap.
Speaker C:And then the neighbor next door, it's.
Speaker C:I guess it's a rental house.
Speaker C:And they don't mow the lawn.
Speaker C:I don't know if they threw Roundup or what in their yard, but they mowed it one time.
Speaker A:They mowed it one time.
Speaker C:I don't know if they mowed it.
Speaker A: Down back in: Speaker C:Where, where they had it down right to the dirt because it's all brown.
Speaker C:Like there's no grass growing.
Speaker C:Like you can tell where my yard begins.
Speaker C:So when I adjusted my mower, I think they say it's supposed to be like 3 inches to have like a healthy lawn.
Speaker C:I always kind of mowed it lower because I didn't want to mow it every week.
Speaker C:But I stopped doing that because I. I kind of like the green lawn.
Speaker C:But I mean, you can't have anything but green lawn with this, this rain we keep getting.
Speaker C:And I had some of that stuff that you got at Costco was like it was a weed and feed or something.
Speaker C:And I kind of threw it all in the grass before all this happened.
Speaker C:So it seems to be catching a little bit.
Speaker C:There's some spots I got to kind of work on.
Speaker C:But the backyard is, is just.
Speaker C:I don't know.
Speaker C:It looks nice, the pad.
Speaker C:Because I've got the, the carport.
Speaker C:Inside the carport I've got all this.
Speaker C:Was it limestone or whatever, that three quarter down stuff?
Speaker A:Oh, yeah.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:So that's all packed down.
Speaker C:I gotta grab some edging because right from the edge of the carport onto the grass, that's kind of where the.
Speaker C:I put the line for the, the fabric.
Speaker C:So I get the fabric kind of tucked in and then the rocks on top of it.
Speaker C:But I want to peel that back a little bit, put some edging and then cut it back and then where the rocks fall in, everything will kind of look nice in a straight line.
Speaker D:So.
Speaker C:So that's where I'm at with the shed, which is pretty much nowhere at the moment.
Speaker E:So.
Speaker A:Okay, I've got.
Speaker A:I can add to that story.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:So we went to like, we went to Lac, the Bonnie or Eldbee as we call it.
Speaker A:And probably was a bad idea because the timing was.
Speaker A:I probably could have mowed the lawn.
Speaker A:I just couldn't.
Speaker A:Like, I could.
Speaker A:If we hadn't gone to like the bunny, I probably could have cut the grass a Little sooner, so.
Speaker A:But I didn't.
Speaker C:Oh, okay.
Speaker A:So the backyard grows at, like, double the rate of the front yard or almost double the rate mine's reverse.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:It's all the.
Speaker A:Based on, like, I don't get any shade in the front.
Speaker C:Right.
Speaker A:But I get periods of shade, so sometimes my front will fry out a little bit.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker C:So.
Speaker A:Sorry.
Speaker A:I'm actually updating the.
Speaker A:The board of topics at the same time because you added a bunch of on here.
Speaker C:Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:128 Topics on the board.
Speaker A:So anyway, so finally.
Speaker A:Okay, I'm gonna cut the grass.
Speaker A:I went and cut the front grass, and I'm like.
Speaker A:I had it set, like, the two height of two.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker A:It's probably not healthy.
Speaker A:Should probably be on three, but.
Speaker A:And it's like I had to pass over everything like, four times because it was a little bit wet.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker C:Super slow.
Speaker A:Yeah, super slow.
Speaker A:And then it kept.
Speaker C:You have to bang it to get all the clippings out, because in the.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:And it kept, like, getting caught in the.
Speaker A:In.
Speaker A:In the output or whatever.
Speaker A:Right, right.
Speaker A:Money.
Speaker A:Kate could probably tell some stories.
Speaker A:She.
Speaker A:She vacuums her lawn or whatever.
Speaker A:I'm not sure what that's all about.
Speaker A:I don't know.
Speaker A:She sent me a picture.
Speaker C:I'm like, yeah, like, leaf blow in reverse.
Speaker A:Look, if you've got enough time to do that much yard work where you're going to vacuum your lawn.
Speaker A:Come on.
Speaker A:Come on.
Speaker C:That's got to be how that astroturf stuff.
Speaker C:That can't be real grass.
Speaker D:Get off the stage.
Speaker C:How can I get off the stage?
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Oh, yes.
Speaker C:Nice.
Speaker C:I was thinking of.
Speaker C:Of putting.
Speaker C:Someone was saying, well, you.
Speaker C:What you should do is you should put like, that Astro Turf in the backyard.
Speaker A:Oh, yeah.
Speaker A:I don't know, man.
Speaker C:Because we want to do, like.
Speaker C:We know Mom's.
Speaker C:She took all the grass out.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:Put all that stuff down, all the rock.
Speaker C:And then she's got the big, big stones, the stepping stones.
Speaker C:The only thing with that is it's not comfortable on your feet.
Speaker A:No.
Speaker C:But she's got the huge deck, so you don't really need to worry about that a whole lot.
Speaker C:But I don't have a deck yet, so once that happens, maybe I'll do that, but.
Speaker C:But it's not a bad idea.
Speaker C:But this AstroTurf stuff, as long as it drains properly and I don't have, like, I've got.
Speaker C:I get Winston, I get the cat, but he doesn't, like.
Speaker C:He's the type of cat.
Speaker C:He'll Wait till he comes in to take it.
Speaker C:Like, he's not.
Speaker C:You know, it's not like a dog where you go out and take a, you know, big turd or something, and then, you know, you don't want any soup in the springtime when everything melts, especially when it's not real grass.
Speaker C:So it's like.
Speaker C:Yeah, like, you're not fertilizing it.
Speaker C:All you're doing is you have to clean it.
Speaker C:But I don't know how that worked.
Speaker C:Maybe I could.
Speaker C:Maybe I could do that.
Speaker C:Maybe just put that on the.
Speaker C:On the back lawn instead.
Speaker C:Sure.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:So when I get to.
Speaker A:So going back.
Speaker A:So when I get to my backyard.
Speaker A:So I had a hard time with the front yard.
Speaker C:Right, Right.
Speaker A:So the backyard where the trampoline is, it grows patchy, right?
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker A:So we put a bunch of grass seed down on all the patchy, patchy spots, and it's growing like crazy.
Speaker C:Oh.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:So when I went to cut the grass because the grass was so thick and it grown so long, like, this is an audio podcast, folks.
Speaker A:But I'm using my hands.
Speaker B:It.
Speaker A:Some of the grass was starting to fold in on itself because it was so heavy.
Speaker C:Oh, okay.
Speaker A:So it created, like, little pockets that had water in it.
Speaker A:So when I'm cutting the grass,.
Speaker E:All.
Speaker A:Of a sudden my feet are soaked.
Speaker A:As soon as I went over, I'm like, what the hell?
Speaker A:I was like, oh, my God, it's so much water.
Speaker A:So I had to try to kind of trim the top, to kind of break the top part of the grass that was kind of bending on itself, creating, like, these pockets of grass.
Speaker A:So I went over it, like, four times.
Speaker A:I'm like, fuck this.
Speaker A:Backed off, move the trampoline, right?
Speaker A:And then came back, like, six hours later.
Speaker C:And the trampoline was casting shade on it, so it wasn't.
Speaker C:Wasn't drying out.
Speaker C:Oh, okay, now I got it.
Speaker A:So I move the trampoline because I can kind of mow underneath the trampoline.
Speaker A:Like, I can almost get all the corners.
Speaker C:What kind of grass seed is this?
Speaker A:Apparently it's the stuff that grows really.
Speaker C:Well in shaded areas.
Speaker A:Yes,.
Speaker C:Obviously.
Speaker A:So anyway, so, like, I had to mow the grass just to get the top layer off.
Speaker A:So I raised it up to, like, five or, like, because it goes up to six, I think, my lawnmower.
Speaker A:So it was like the level high five, right?
Speaker A:Which is what, five inches?
Speaker A:I guess maybe isn't how it works.
Speaker C:I don't know.
Speaker C:Anyway, so level five flat tops in the 80s, if the haircuts.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's exactly what it looked like.
Speaker A:So then I came back six hours later when it dried out some and I still had to go over it like another four times, but what a hassle.
Speaker B:Wow.
Speaker A:But there's been too much rain.
Speaker A:There's like, there's no off days.
Speaker A:Cuz it, you know, I have an electronic mo.
Speaker A:Like electric mower.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker A:And like I don't want to get electrocuted.
Speaker C:Oh, plug in electric.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker A:So I'm like, well whatever.
Speaker A:But anyway, it's done.
Speaker A:But then we had more rain so I probably should go cut it again like tomorrow or whatever.
Speaker C:I did that today.
Speaker C:I was just out there today mowing the lawn.
Speaker C:I was like, oh for God's sakes.
Speaker C:It looks nice when it's.
Speaker C:When it's mo.
Speaker C:Yeah, it looks great.
Speaker C:Apparently it smells nice too, but I.
Speaker C:Since I lost my sense of smell, I can't.
Speaker C:Oh, I don't have the.
Speaker A:You know what I was going to tell you.
Speaker A:We put clover in our front yard.
Speaker A:Like we put clover seeds down for the rabbits or.
Speaker A:No.
Speaker A:Well, it just thickened the.
Speaker A:The hell out of the grass.
Speaker C:Oh, clover is very thick now.
Speaker C:Does it?
Speaker A:And now it looks.
Speaker A:It looks really.
Speaker C:I need something to get rid of the.
Speaker C:You know, to push the weeds out.
Speaker C:They say just keep seeding, but.
Speaker A:Well, I. I have a.
Speaker A:A jug with some poison and when the, when the dandelions come up or whatever, I just kill them.
Speaker C:Oh, okay.
Speaker A:Yep.
Speaker C:I tried spraying them with that killax, whatever you have to put in.
Speaker C:3 Tablespoons per liter.
Speaker A:Yeah, that's what.
Speaker C:I tried that.
Speaker C:But my sprayer is just a cheap little sprayer and you have to go like right onto them.
Speaker C:Like, like a backpack one.
Speaker C:Like where you can.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:You know, 150 psi.
Speaker C:Do the whole lawn at once.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:You know, I have to ask Chris to see if get.
Speaker C:Not the vacuum, but you've got something to.
Speaker C:To do the dandelions with in one shot.
Speaker A:Would you ask Kristen?
Speaker A:Mighty K?
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:What the hell did she say?
Speaker A:She wanted another nickname.
Speaker A:She wanted Mighty K to be specific to the In Obscuria boys.
Speaker A:But what the hell?
Speaker A:She told us it was like something to do with weeders.
Speaker A:Joe Weider.
Speaker C:What the hell is.
Speaker A:Yeah, well, named after a bench or something.
Speaker A:I don't know.
Speaker A:I don't know.
Speaker A:Mighty K. What was it?
Speaker A:I've already forgotten.
Speaker C:Do you like my trunk monkey?
Speaker A:We gotta save that.
Speaker A:Why don't we do a screenshot?
Speaker C:What?
Speaker A:Your trunk monkey?
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Well, I've got The actual file.
Speaker A:Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker A:Hello.
Speaker C:Yeah, I don't think it's a trunk monkey, though.
Speaker A:Okay, so you put a topic on the.
Speaker A:Like, are we rolling for topics today?
Speaker C:Let's.
Speaker C:Did you want to debut the.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:Spinning wheel.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:So that's where the ax came from.
Speaker C:He's gonna.
Speaker A:The monkey's gonna play.
Speaker C:Monkey's gonna play.
Speaker A:All right, you guys ready for this?
Speaker A:So this is the.
Speaker A:The world premiere.
Speaker C:It's not a song.
Speaker C:It's only a clip.
Speaker A:It's only clip.
Speaker C:It's.
Speaker A:You know, all these other shows, they have, like, you know, they spin the wheel, like, they'll do, like, they'll do Run around, like, by Van Halen or.
Speaker C:Something, or the sound of an actual real spinning.
Speaker A:You know, like the Game of Life.
Speaker C:Oh, that one.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:And then it launches and flies off the board.
Speaker A:Flies across the room.
Speaker C:Yep.
Speaker C:You guys remember that?
Speaker A:Anyway, all right, so we had an idea, like, okay, you know what?
Speaker A:Some guys are using this song.
Speaker A:Some people are using that song to intro their.
Speaker A:Their own wheel, which, by the way, we are the originators of a wheel.
Speaker A:It wasn't the cavemen.
Speaker C:It was us.
Speaker C:Okay?
Speaker A:It was us.
Speaker A:We're the originators of wheels.
Speaker A:We created wheels.
Speaker A:I'm looking for my water because I'm about to have a coughing attack.
Speaker A:Bless me.
Speaker C:Anyway, on a different topic, or do you want to do that now?
Speaker A:No, go ahead.
Speaker C:Yeah, we'll do the different.
Speaker C:Just because it's one of those things where.
Speaker C:We'll be back after these messages after the cliffhanger.
Speaker C:Beard oil.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker C:I went and bought some.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker C:It's called something.
Speaker C:Every man's something.
Speaker C:I don't know.
Speaker C:Something.
Speaker C:So I bought this stuff and I put it on.
Speaker C:Now, Winston.
Speaker A:Now, now, you didn't.
Speaker A:You got the right stuff, right?
Speaker A:You didn't get the scrotal oil.
Speaker C:No, that's okay.
Speaker C:All right.
Speaker C:Not that.
Speaker A:Just making sure.
Speaker C:That's a.
Speaker C:That's the plumping oil.
Speaker C:No, that's.
Speaker C:That's different.
Speaker C:This is.
Speaker C:Yeah, Every man Jack.
Speaker C:Every man's Jack or every man Jack.
Speaker A:No, I'm not like other guys.
Speaker A:I'm nervous and my socks are, too.
Speaker A:Yeah, that's.
Speaker A:That's another way of saying what you just said.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:So Winston is a big chin hugger.
Speaker C:No, he'll go up to and he'll bump your chin.
Speaker C:He'll put his head under your chin.
Speaker C:And once I put this stuff on, it was like, no, no.
Speaker C:He came up to me and he sniffed, and then he kind of went away.
Speaker C:And I was like, So I did a bit of research.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker C:And this is after I bought.
Speaker C:I was gonna buy one bottle, and one bottle was like, something ridiculous.
Speaker C:So I figured, well, I'll get two bottles.
Speaker C:And it was from Amazon.
Speaker C:So I ordered two bottles.
Speaker C:I got six.
Speaker C:I don't know how that happened, but anyways, I. I put this stuff on.
Speaker C:He didn't like it.
Speaker C:I did some research about cats and beard oil, and it said, oh, yeah, well, there's a lot of essential oils that they're, you know, that'll screw up their.
Speaker C:Their system.
Speaker C:So great.
Speaker C:So I was like, okay, that's not good.
Speaker C:So they said, you know, check for, you know, if he's vomiting or if he's itchy or all this other stuff.
Speaker C:So I took the list of the ingredients, I put it in the system.
Speaker C:Google or whatever said that, yeah, these are toxic.
Speaker C:You can't have those.
Speaker A:Oh, my God, really?
Speaker C:You could put it on and maybe at the.
Speaker C:By the end of the day, it wouldn't be so bad.
Speaker C:Even the.
Speaker C:So I went to Walmart, we bought the actual shampoo and conditioner.
Speaker C:So I.
Speaker C:So I. I brought that home, put that on.
Speaker C:It said, once you do that, once it's dry, it's fun.
Speaker C:So he's been.
Speaker C:So I've got a whole bunch of this beard oil I can't use.
Speaker C:So I'm just using the shampoo and conditioner for now, which is a step up from what I was using before.
Speaker C:It was just that bar soap doing my head.
Speaker C:I just do my beard with it.
Speaker C:So I mean, it was fine, but it wasn't soft at all.
Speaker D:So.
Speaker C:But now it's not too bad.
Speaker A:You know, there's one.
Speaker A:There's a beard oil called the Lemmy.
Speaker C:Oh, God.
Speaker C:Is he part of the.
Speaker A:I gotta look it up.
Speaker C:Was he getting royalties from that?
Speaker A:I think this is after he died.
Speaker A:I gotta look it up.
Speaker A:So what's the Lemmy?
Speaker A:Let's see the Lemmy Lemme Beard.
Speaker A:See what other podcast gives you this.
Speaker A:Breaking informative.
Speaker A:It's a niche grooming product born from the collaboration between Epic Footnote, another podcast I listen to, and Lucky 13 Beard Company created an homage to the iconic Motorhead frontman.
Speaker A:This signature oil is formulated to soften coarse facial hair and deeply nourish the skin beneath, ensuring your beer is well conditioned and stays true to Lemmy's legendary, ruggedly refined style.
Speaker C:So they had more of a chin strap, didn't he?
Speaker C:I can't remember now.
Speaker C:It was like a big beard.
Speaker A:Do they carry it in Winnebago?
Speaker A:Oh, it's giving.
Speaker A:Wait, what does it smell like, though?
Speaker A:That's what I need to know.
Speaker A:What I have is, like, a cigarettes and cigarettes.
Speaker C:Oh, it smells like a microphone from the bar.
Speaker A:Strong notes of spice and heavy musk.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:I could see, like, a bourbon.
Speaker A:Bourbon and cigarettes.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:And lead affords hoochie.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Oh, wow.
Speaker A:Well, didn't Lita Ford and him.
Speaker A:Weren't they a thing at one point?
Speaker C:Oh, they could have been.
Speaker C:They could have been.
Speaker C:Was it leader for.
Speaker C:No.
Speaker C:Lee Aaron.
Speaker C:I. I was watching some videos.
Speaker C:I think she was playing a concert somewhere, and I don't know how old she is.
Speaker C:I'm sure she's up there, but she's still looks pretty good.
Speaker C:Oh, yeah, if.
Speaker C:If that's a recent clip that I saw.
Speaker A:So you played in Transcona, like, last summer, I think.
Speaker C:No.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker A:Transcona party or the outside party or something.
Speaker C:The Transcona Cougars.
Speaker A:Isn't that their football team?
Speaker C:They could be.
Speaker A:Should be.
Speaker C:Could be.
Speaker C:All right, did you want to get back to the wheel?
Speaker A:Yep.
Speaker B:All right.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker A:Now we might actually pick a topic off the wheel because Todd might want to rant, and it is called the Wheel of Spite, so.
Speaker A:So are you ready for this?
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker A:All right.
Speaker A:Hopefully it's loud enough.
Speaker D:Spinning wheel on our show.
Speaker D:No one else does it.
Speaker D:We are so original.
Speaker D:Get up on Patreon so you can write add on all your topics onto our wheelers.
Speaker C:Here we go,.
Speaker A:The world premiere.
Speaker A:That's Todd playing the instruments and Sean singing and Todd putting in effect.
Speaker A:So I sound halfway decent.
Speaker C:I just.
Speaker C:I just put some.
Speaker C:Some reverb.
Speaker A:A little bit of echo there.
Speaker C:A little bit of echo, some compression, some eq.
Speaker C:It's gonna do the De Esser, but there's no.
Speaker C:You're not really having any sibling S's.
Speaker A:Is that if I have gas?
Speaker C:S's.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker A:Oh, I see.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:I thought you're, like, gonna degauss me or something.
Speaker C:No, that would be.
Speaker C:That's video, isn't it?
Speaker C:Degauss.
Speaker A:I don't know.
Speaker C:Your monitor.
Speaker C:You degauss your.
Speaker C:I thought I had a worm back in the day.
Speaker C:No, no, not Deworm.
Speaker A:I don't know.
Speaker A:I don't know how this stuff works.
Speaker C:Yeah, when you're saying homage earlier, I was thinking Hamar, Omar, which is.
Speaker A:For the lobster.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:Okay, so you added stuff to the topic board.
Speaker A:Is there anything there that you added that you really want to talk about?
Speaker A:That you just want to skip spinning the wheel or you just want to roll the thing?
Speaker C:I. I. Yeah.
Speaker C:I want to talk about Nissan Connect.
Speaker C:Bastards.
Speaker A:Every year so,.
Speaker B:So I call these.
Speaker C:Guys because every year I call them and I say, look, it's like minus 40 degrees out.
Speaker C:I want to start my car remotely from work.
Speaker C:So when I go to the parkade, my car is warm.
Speaker C:It's too far to turn on from where I am, where I work.
Speaker C:Okay, so that's fine.
Speaker C:So then what happens is in the spring, I call and I cancel it because I don't need it.
Speaker C:So true to form, and I think we've spoke about this very and very reminiscent to when I went to Autopack to switch over my pivot method because I had switched banks.
Speaker C:And I think we talked about that.
Speaker C:Yeah, you go in there, I just want to change my debanking information.
Speaker C:Well, you know, what if it's.
Speaker C:If you, you know, Autopack, if we have this, you know, if, if we bump you up to this other plan that we have that's supplementary, you'll get more money for your car if you write it off.
Speaker C:And that was kind of the whole spiel.
Speaker C:Even though I said I didn't want it, they just kept going on and on, on.
Speaker C:So reminiscent to that, I call Nissan Connect because I can log into my Nissan account, but I can't do anything there.
Speaker C:It just, you know, it just says what I have.
Speaker C:So then I, I called.
Speaker C:So I talked to them and I said, look, says, I just want to.
Speaker C:I just want to cancel my subscription for now.
Speaker C:And then they asked me why, of course.
Speaker C:So I says, well, first of all, I usually only use it in the winter because it gets cold here.
Speaker C:It's like almost summertime.
Speaker C:I should have technically canceled it a couple months ago.
Speaker C:I just never did.
Speaker C:So they said, okay, I'll put you on hold for a minute.
Speaker C:So they put you on hold.
Speaker C:And then they talk to whoever they're talking to or they go to the bathroom or have lunch or whatever.
Speaker C:Then they come back and say, oh, I understand that, that you want to cancel your thing.
Speaker C:Well, you know, we do have.
Speaker C:You know, when you have this, it's not just to auto start.
Speaker C:You can have your thing for your odometer.
Speaker C:You can open, you can lock and unlock your doors.
Speaker C:Says, I know all this already.
Speaker C:I've been doing it for the last five years.
Speaker C:I just want to cancel it.
Speaker C:Okay, hold on.
Speaker C:I'll be back in a minute.
Speaker C:So then he goes off again.
Speaker C:Then he comes back, says, oh, I understand that you, you may want to cancel.
Speaker C:I says, look, I don't want to may cancel the Whole reason I called was to fucking cancel it.
Speaker C:Don't get.
Speaker C:I don't want to hear any more crap.
Speaker C:Just cancel the thing and then they just come back with more.
Speaker A:It's like, are you really sure?
Speaker C:Well, that's the thing.
Speaker C:They're trying to retain you as a customer.
Speaker C:Correct.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker C:And they probably.
Speaker A:Are they trying to retain you or trying to lose you as a customer?
Speaker A:Because it sounds like they're pissing you off.
Speaker C:Well, they are pissing me off because it's like, look, I'm usually a nice guy, but you're.
Speaker C:You're starting to push my buttons here.
Speaker C:I just called for.
Speaker C:If you would allow me to register and unregister online like every other goddamn company, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Speaker C:But because they're money hungry and they want to try and sell you something,.
Speaker A:And when Lisa makes no money, they're very poor.
Speaker A:Like this.
Speaker A:It's established.
Speaker A:The car companies make no money.
Speaker C:Oh, geez, that's.
Speaker C:That's like when we.
Speaker C:When I bought my truck.
Speaker C:Oh, we don't make any money.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:This fucking Taj Mahal was created because you don't make any fucking money.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:Are you.
Speaker C:Are you kidding me?
Speaker C:You can blow smoke up someone else's.
Speaker C:I wasn't born, you know?
Speaker A:And the markup on these cars is ridiculous.
Speaker C:Oh, and during COVID When we bought the Nissan was even worse.
Speaker C:It was only because her car.
Speaker C:Some idiot cut out the.
Speaker C:We talked about that, too.
Speaker A:Catalytic converter.
Speaker C:Catalytic converter.
Speaker A:Yeah,.
Speaker D:Sorry.
Speaker A:There's a new rat coming.
Speaker A:I had to hit something.
Speaker C:Yeah, they just cut out the catalytic converter in the backyard, and then the car was toast.
Speaker C:So then they had to.
Speaker C:To take the car away.
Speaker C:Had brand new winter tires.
Speaker A:Look, if you just gave those guys some meth, Todd, they would have not taken your catalytic converter.
Speaker E:They.
Speaker A:They were just trying to buy some meth.
Speaker A:You should have been.
Speaker A:Look, you.
Speaker E:You.
Speaker A:You save that.
Speaker A:That.
Speaker A:That poor cat.
Speaker A:What about these poor meth heads?
Speaker A:Freezing in the wintertime looking for meth.
Speaker A:You should have just got them some meth.
Speaker C:It wasn't.
Speaker C:Well, it wasn't in the wintertime.
Speaker C:The car was just kind of sitting there waiting until.
Speaker C:Waiting until winter time, and it was all set up.
Speaker C:We had the winter tires on and everything.
Speaker C:Couldn't get the winter tires off because they were pretty much welded to the frigging wheels.
Speaker C:But anyway, I digress.
Speaker A:This is a good question, though.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:So needless to say, eventually they said, okay, we'll.
Speaker C:We'll do that for you, sir.
Speaker C:It Says your last payment is, was this day.
Speaker C:So your, your membership will, you know, end on such and such day.
Speaker C:So I went, okay, thank you.
Speaker C:And then that was it.
Speaker A:Was that so hard?
Speaker A:Is that what you said?
Speaker A:Was that so hard?
Speaker C:No, that's.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:I don't know who you'd have to talk to for that.
Speaker C:I mean, that's just a marketing thing where, you know, they'll get together with the board of directors.
Speaker C:Well, how can we make more money?
Speaker C:How can we retain more customers?
Speaker C:Well, we'll just keep them online longer.
Speaker C:That's like, it's like going shopping at the clothing store or something.
Speaker C:And then they've got everything all over the goddamn place so that you have to go hunting for deals.
Speaker C:Right.
Speaker C:So the longer you stay in the store, the more shit you buy, right?
Speaker C:Oh yeah.
Speaker C:And they've got it all.
Speaker C:It's all psychological.
Speaker C:Everything you do everything.
Speaker C:Like if you go to the friggin restaurant, they've got the menu.
Speaker C:The menu has been designed for you to buy the most expensive thing.
Speaker C:Everything that's expensive has a picture.
Speaker C:Those are the things they want you to visually see Go.
Speaker A:Oh yes, that looks good.
Speaker C:And the, the pricing, the way it goes is all over the map.
Speaker C:Just the way they have it on there.
Speaker C:And then they have like little things with little frames and stuff that it just basically draws your eyes to it, right?
Speaker A:Oh yeah.
Speaker C:Just to have more.
Speaker C:Because I was, I was watching something today and they were talking about Olive Garden and we're talking about, oh, well, I went and bought soup.
Speaker C:So he goes, he says, I brought it home.
Speaker C:He, he gets a bowl and he puts the soup in the bowl and there's only about an inch of soup in the goddamn bowl.
Speaker A:Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker C:And this is.
Speaker C:But when you go to Olive Garden, they have the, the bowls that are, they have the long lips, right.
Speaker C:The big lips.
Speaker C:But the inside is shallow.
Speaker C:The inside shallow.
Speaker C:So they don't have to give you as much soup.
Speaker C:You think you're getting more soup.
Speaker C:I've seen glasses.
Speaker A:Sounds like you're talking about Jimmy from Good Times.
Speaker C:If you ever go, if you're going to a restaurant or ordered a drink and then you get down to the drink and you notice that the bottom of the glass.
Speaker C:Oh, way, way, way thicker.
Speaker C:So there's.
Speaker A:But it looks like there's alcohol in there.
Speaker A:Like, but it's actually just like glass.
Speaker C:Well, what it is is it dips into a hole.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:But it's very thick around it.
Speaker C:So it looks like it's all the way to the bottom, but it not giving you the full thing.
Speaker C:Breadsticks are like what, 10 or 15 cents or something like that.
Speaker C:And they get the, the never ending pasta bowl.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:Type of thing.
Speaker C:And they make you.
Speaker C:I mean, you eat it and then you ask for more.
Speaker C:But it's like you have to always have to ask all the time.
Speaker C:And there's a lot of people that don't like to ask as much.
Speaker C:So they get their money that way.
Speaker A:Oh yeah.
Speaker C:Type of thing.
Speaker C:And then because they used to have the.
Speaker C:Was it, was it the breadsticks and.
Speaker A:Those breadsticks and salad or whatever or breadsticks used to be salad breadsticks.
Speaker C:No, it used to be endless salad prior to that.
Speaker C:And then they found out that the salad was costing them a dollar or something per person versus the breadsticks, which was like 57 cents or whatever it was.
Speaker C:So they switched from the salad to the bread and then the pasta.
Speaker C:They showed us how they did the pasta.
Speaker C:That this great big machine, they put all pasta and then they have it in a big pan.
Speaker C:They cellophane it.
Speaker C:Put that, that today's date, they put it in the fridge and then they serve that all day long.
Speaker C:It's not fresh.
Speaker C:It's.
Speaker C:I don't know, it's just more ways of, of making money.
Speaker A:They get a sound bite for everything.
Speaker C:The hell did you get that from?
Speaker A:Do you like that one?
Speaker A:No, don't play it again.
Speaker A:I actually like that one a lot.
Speaker A:Mama likes a cold one.
Speaker E:What?
Speaker A:Mama likes a cold one.
Speaker D:What?
Speaker C:Get down, get down.
Speaker A:Get down.
Speaker A:Sorry, I'm on a roll here.
Speaker C:To get down.
Speaker A:You know why I'm on a roll?
Speaker C:Why?
Speaker A:Mr. B.
Speaker C:Double o, z.
Speaker C:So you're having a drink?
Speaker A:I'm having a drink.
Speaker A:I, I, I, I get it around about stuff, but I can't do it on air.
Speaker A:I'm just gonna get in trouble.
Speaker C:Yeah,.
Speaker E:I am.
Speaker A:You know what?
Speaker A:That we did that episode a few weeks.
Speaker A:A few.
Speaker A:5.99 Or whatever it was.
Speaker C:Well, someone from work.
Speaker A:Well, I ranted about work, right.
Speaker A:And I'm like, I'm gonna get fired if I put this out.
Speaker A:So I edit, I get, I got rid of the stuff in there.
Speaker A:Which to be honest, was I being professional by ranting about work?
Speaker A:No.
Speaker A:You know that there's certain things that got to remain personal.
Speaker A:And I vented and I talked to some managers and things are better now.
Speaker C:So.
Speaker B:Good.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:I have a news story.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker A:I want to talk to you about, but let's play this again.
Speaker D:Spinning wheel on Our show.

Speaker D:We are so original.
Speaker D:Get up on Patreon Soul.
Speaker D:You get.

Speaker A:There's a tier just for that.
Speaker A:You can add a topic to a board.
Speaker A:We could talk about it.
Speaker A:If you put it on the board, it probably is gonna have to get prioritized.
Speaker A:We're gonna have to fucking talk about it now.
Speaker C:Do you have any yet?
Speaker A:No, because everyone.
Speaker A:Because I'm not good at promoting shit.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker A:So anyway, but I do want to say before we get too far into my topic that I added to the board.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker A:Dwayne from Mixtapes From Hell.

Speaker C:No, what was the name of those?
Speaker C:Chip and Pepper.
Speaker A:Chip and Pepper.
Speaker C:Chip and Pepper.

Speaker C:I gotta see what the hell this is all about.
Speaker C:Because it was like, okay, now they have a fan club that's showing up on Facebook, and it's like, all right, okay.
Speaker C:I just looked.
Speaker C:I Looked up.
Speaker C:Watch the video.
Speaker C:They're all dressed up in polka dots.
Speaker C:They get these weird hats, weird nose.
Speaker C:Weird.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:And they play.
Speaker C:And it's just two people.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:Now as I was playing in the background.
Speaker A:Yeah, you want to turn it up a little bit?
Speaker C:Yeah, turn it up.
Speaker A:So part of their thing.
Speaker A:Did you notice the frets on his guitar?
Speaker A:No, he's got extra frets.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker A:Like, he's doubled all his.
Speaker A:I think he doubled all his frets up.
Speaker C:Well, I'm gonna have to go look now, cuz.
Speaker A:Yeah, I'll turn it down a bit so you can.
Speaker A:So, okay, so what was this on.
Speaker C:A loop or is that an actual song?
Speaker A:That's an actual song.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker A:This is a Sherpa.
Speaker A:See, he did.
Speaker A:He just built the loop because they're two guys.
Speaker A:The guitar player will do some looping.
Speaker A:Oh, so now he's playing bass.
Speaker A:Right, Right.
Speaker C:I was gonna say there's only two guys there.
Speaker C:How does that work?

Speaker A:Good showing.
Speaker A:You know, I. I don't think they.
Speaker A:I honestly don't think they played a lot of shows, but they played the jazz festival.
Speaker A:The Montreal Jazz Festival was possibly the best jazz festival in the world.
Speaker A:Some people would say.
Speaker C:Okay.

Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker C:It seems to be, like, very eclectic.
Speaker C:Very different.
Speaker A:Now, there's rumors to their identities, who they are.
Speaker A:There's a lot of theories, but nobody.
Speaker C:Do they not show them without their.
Speaker B:No.
Speaker C:Oh, nope.
Speaker A:Secret identities.
Speaker A:Kind of like Ghost did before them.
Speaker A:I think there's another.
Speaker A:Laura Shore perhaps is another one of those bands.
Speaker A:Or Sleep Token.
Speaker A:Sorry, nobody knows.
Speaker C:Or Buckethead.
Speaker A:Yeah, Buckethead.
Speaker C:Yeah, the unknown comic.
Speaker A:But, yeah, the unknown comic.
Speaker A:The original Engine de Path was the unknown comic.
Speaker A:Does anybody remember the unknown comic?
Speaker A:Yes, Kristen, I can hear you.
Speaker A:I know you know who the unknown comic is.
Speaker A:I'm sure Mr. Griggs knows as well.
Speaker A:And you know what?
Speaker A:I will even put out there that Danny Pabst and Duane could probably.
Speaker A:Actually probably Recite some of the unknown comics shtick.
Speaker C:But anyway, so I saw my mast, actually.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Eventually, he.
Speaker A:He unmasked himself, I think, somewhere.
Speaker E:Right.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:Anyway, so 200,000 people, the best showing of the.
Speaker A:At the Montreal Jazz festival.
Speaker A:And at 200,000, they had to turn people away.
Speaker A:So there was more people trying to get in.
Speaker C:Wow.
Speaker A:But it was.
Speaker A:It was one of the first times.
Speaker A:It might be the first time they actually had to turn people away because they.
Speaker A:They couldn't.
Speaker A:There's too many people.
Speaker C:Could it better than.
Speaker C:Was it Gangnam Style.
Speaker A:Gundam Style.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:You know what?
Speaker A:So they said the last time they had a showing close to that, which might have surpassed.
Speaker A:I don't know, was when Stevie Wonder performed there, like, forever ago.
Speaker A:Oh, yeah.
Speaker A:But you know what?
Speaker A:These guys just keep getting bigger.
Speaker A:Bigger.
Speaker A:And the weird thing, as weird as this is kind of like Prague, I guess, in a way.
Speaker A:Prague with other shit going on.
Speaker A:The metal community loves these guys.
Speaker A:And it's not metal.
Speaker A:It's bizarre.
Speaker C:No, it's.
Speaker C:It's very experimental.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:Like, did Brand X ever sound this, like, weird or.
Speaker A:Max Webster?
Speaker C:No, no, Max Webster.
Speaker C:Well, Brand X.
Speaker C:Or was it Uzeb or there's some.
Speaker C:Those bands that are just kind of, like, different.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Max Webster had a lot of weird songs.
Speaker C:Here.
Speaker A:I'm gonna go.

Speaker C:It's Max Webster.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker C:I don't know where the name came from.
Speaker A:Like, no idea.
Speaker A:There's no.
Speaker A:I don't think there's a Max Monster in the band.
Speaker C:Sound like Sammy Hagar used to play with.

Speaker A:Sammy.
Speaker A:Oh, sorry, he's playing with.
Speaker C:Yeah, that band.
Speaker A:Yeah, whatever.
Speaker C:Anyway, yeah, so that name was the One of the guys in the band type of thing, but Max Webster was Montrose.
Speaker A:Montrose.
Speaker C:Montrose, yeah.
Speaker C:So Montrose was a person in the band, but Max Webster.
Speaker C:There was no.
Speaker C:I mean, Kim Mitchell.
Speaker C:Max Webster's got nothing to do with each other.
Speaker C:Okay, I'm gonna.
Speaker A:No, I'm gonna put on.

Speaker A:This sounds like a song that would have played in the Hard Or Hard Candy.
Speaker A:The Kids in the hall movie.
Speaker A:Okay, that's.
Speaker C:I. I only.
Speaker C:I only bought one of his albums and it was Oral Fixation, but that's when he was giving Mitchell.

Speaker A:This is good.
Speaker A:We might.

Speaker A:It's kind of Star Spangled Bannerish.
Speaker A:Wait a minute.
Speaker A:Holy.
Speaker A:What are we doing?
Speaker A:Like we're just going to listen to the song.
Speaker A:I thought we do a pass or go.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker A:Pass or go.
Speaker C:Oh, go.
Speaker A:Just.
Speaker A:Dumb question.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Where's the.
Speaker C:Where's.
Speaker C:The other was Bob and Doug McKenzie.
Speaker C:That was the other one that Giddy Lee did with them.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:You want to.
Speaker A:You know what, Bob and Doug, we.
Speaker C:Need to get a pass or go both of these.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:We'll do versus too.
Speaker C:Okay, well, versus.
Speaker C:Sorry.
Speaker A:Okay, we'll do versus.
Speaker E:Yeah.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:Bob, Doug McKenzie.
Speaker C:Since Rush is on tour, apparently Giddy had some voice issues.
Speaker C:He needed to rest them.
Speaker C:I'm not sure where that kind of stands.
Speaker C:Oh, it kind of postponed some of the.
Speaker C:Some of the dates.
Speaker C:Some people are upset.
Speaker C:I can see why.
Speaker C:Especially if you have to travel and then you postpone to a different day and now all of a sudden you can't get the reservation for where you're going to stay.
Speaker C:It's just that, really, you book time.
Speaker A:Off, you book flights and you book hotel.
Speaker C:That sucks.
Speaker B:Then.
Speaker B:What?
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:Did you get insurance on the hotel?
Speaker A:Did you get insurance on the flight.
Speaker A:Oh, you can't get your money back.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:And the ticket sucks.
Speaker A:But, hey, if his voice is going, do you want to see Geddy Lee using backing tracks or do you want to see Getty Lee live?
Speaker C:You know what I do have?
Speaker C:I. I did that thing I sent you with Nika when she was playing.
Speaker C:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker C:It was like an Anika cam.
Speaker C:Like, it was.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker C:Focusing on her throughout the whole concert.
Speaker C:I was listening to the concert, and Giddy's voice is.
Speaker C:You can tell they're getting older because.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:It's not like it used to be.
Speaker C:Alex, you know, great player, but from when I was hearing.
Speaker C:Just fumbling all over the place.
Speaker E:Sure.
Speaker C:I mean, the only person who was really on the ball, like, a hundred percent was Anika.
Speaker A:Like.
Speaker A:Yeah, but she's also, like, probably 20 years younger.
Speaker C:Well, of course.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:But I mean, it's their song, so they should be able to.
Speaker C:You know.
Speaker C:But then again, they're.
Speaker C:They're getting.
Speaker C:You know, they're getting up there.
Speaker C:I mean, they still play, they still rock out.
Speaker C:That's fine.
Speaker C:I don't care.
Speaker C:Like, that's.
Speaker C:It doesn't bother me.
Speaker A:I'm just.
Speaker C:It's just a.
Speaker C:No.
Speaker C:You know, just something to note.
Speaker C:But I.
Speaker C:With all the film footage that they took, I can't wait till they have something together proper.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:Like, Exit Stage left.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:So we can actually watch the whole concert.
Speaker A:Hey, do you own the Exit Stage Left video?
Speaker E:Can you.
Speaker A:Can you even buy that?
Speaker C:You know what?
Speaker C:Stupid me.
Speaker A:I know you.
Speaker C:I mean, I still have it.
Speaker A:You had it on VHS or something.
Speaker C:I. I had it.
Speaker C:I think it was on dvd, but everything kind of went digital and it was like, we don't even have a DVD player.
Speaker C:I mean, I've got.
Speaker C:I think I get, like, a computer that's maybe eight or nine years old.
Speaker C:It still has an actual drive on it that can play DVDs.
Speaker C:Anything that's new now doesn't have a slot for it.
Speaker C:Everything is either usb.
Speaker A:Oh, yeah.
Speaker C:Memory sticks or streaming or, you know, this.
Speaker C:So I don't know if I got rid of it or at all, because I got a bunch of stuff downstairs I was trying to get rid of.
Speaker C:And I get to the point where it's like, I got to get rid of something.
Speaker C:So it was like.
Speaker C:So I throw my tapes out.
Speaker C:My old tapes.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:Not my.
Speaker C:Not my homemade tapes, but tapes of actual bands and stuff.
Speaker C:So.
Speaker C:Because, I mean, who's going to go out and buy.
Speaker C:Well, now everything's Retro, where everyone's gone back to their freaking records.
Speaker C:But not that they'll go back to Cassini that.
Speaker C:Cuz I can't really see that.
Speaker C:But.
Speaker A:Well, I thought, you know, we could buy it on Blu Ray or something.
Speaker C:Well, that's the thing.
Speaker C:I don't have one.
Speaker A:You don't have one?
Speaker A:Oh, I have a blue.
Speaker C:I have a four Kiplare.
Speaker C:My, My other life, my previous life.
Speaker C:I had one.
Speaker A:If you want the VHS.
Speaker A:Yeah, it's on sale on Amazon for $245.
Speaker A:New on VHS.
Speaker A:New import anglais.
Speaker C:Is it previously viewed?
Speaker A:Well, there's no video.
Speaker C:That's ridiculous.
Speaker A:What can I get?
Speaker A:Exit stage left live on video.
Speaker C:Now they're charging what people wanted to get for their Disney movies for their unopened.
Speaker A:Well, this is, they're not releasing this.
Speaker C:Yeah, last chance to get your.
Speaker A:Oh, it's Cinderella.
Speaker C:It'll never be released again.
Speaker C:Yeah, and then they went, oh, oh yeah, release it but on dvd.
Speaker C:And then we're going to be using it on Blu Ray.
Speaker C:And then it was like crazy, like Beanie Babies.
Speaker C:Yes.
Speaker C:Take off.
Speaker A:It's on YouTube.
Speaker A:Upscaled the 4K UHD.
Speaker C:Oh, okay.
Speaker C:Sweet.
Speaker C:Yeah.

Speaker D:All right.
Speaker A:Unshare reshare.
Speaker C:I mean, I saw the, the music.
Speaker A:There.
Speaker A:Do you see that?
Speaker C:Exit stage left for concert.
Speaker C:Yes.
Speaker C:4K UHD.
Speaker A:It's been upscaled so it's not like proper, proper thing.
Speaker A:My God, Alex is so, so rangy.
Speaker A:So skinny.
Speaker C:Yeah, that's, that's a pretty good version.
Speaker C:Yeah, because I had, we had the vhs.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:Or sorry.
Speaker C:We recorded it when it was on,.
Speaker B:I believe.
Speaker A:Oh, they're so young here, man.
Speaker A:But this isn't the full.
Speaker A:Isn't the cassette like 90 minutes long?
Speaker C:How long is this?
Speaker A:It's 59 minutes.
Speaker C:I think the actual.
Speaker C:No, I think the, the VHS may not have been as long.
Speaker A:Yeah, I remember it being short.
Speaker A:I don't, I don't think bitor was on.
Speaker A:There was bitor on.
Speaker A:Oh my God.
Speaker C:But this I believe, is a different version.
Speaker C:That's what's on the actual.
Speaker A:Is it okay?
Speaker C:I, I, I.
Speaker A:How many times did you watch this thing, Todd?
Speaker C:Wow.
Speaker C:Well, back then it was like you were very limited to what you had versus now.
Speaker C:So whatever you had, you played the, the out of it.
Speaker C:I mean, you had records, you know, where the grooves and tapes would.
Speaker C:Would wear out and stretch and they would squeal and screech when they played.
Speaker A:Sorry.
Speaker A:It's time for a cold beverage.
Speaker A:I'm really enjoying our chat.
Speaker A:I needed this today.
Speaker C:Oh, okay, good.

Speaker C:It's pretty.
Speaker C:And you can tell his voice is super strong there.
Speaker C:I mean, that's when he's younger.
Speaker C:Like, he's just starting.
Speaker C:So I did see a skit.
Speaker C:Like I said, you get these algorithms for some reason.
Speaker C:I had Bob and Doug McKenzie Yep.
Speaker C:And it was one of their things where they came together and it was called.
Speaker C:They said.
Speaker C:We talked to our lawyers and it used to.
Speaker C:We were going to call it Canada Corner with K's instead of C's.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker C:Canada Corner, Canadian Corner or something.
Speaker C:But we couldn't.
Speaker C:So we're.
Speaker C:It's Great White north or whatever it was.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:And they were drinking their stubby beers.
Speaker A:Their stubby beers.
Speaker A:Back in the day, the necks were like bodybuilder necks instead of proper necks.
Speaker A:There are bodybuilder necks on the bottles.
Speaker C:And do you remember when we used to go.
Speaker A:Did they have that in the States, Todd, do you think, like the little Stubbies, was that just a purely Canadian thing or was that an American thing, too?
Speaker C:I don't know.
Speaker C:Long necks were the only thing that I knew that the US had, as far as I know.
Speaker C:But the stubby was.
Speaker C:Remember.
Speaker C:Remember when we screwed the beach?
Speaker A:Yep.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker C:We'd have Uncle Ronnie.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Well, we'd have Uncle Peter.
Speaker C:We'd have.
Speaker C:Oh, my God, Junior and.
Speaker C:Oh, geez, the whole gang.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:And.
Speaker C:And we'd all be at the beach.
Speaker C:They'd all have those coolers.
Speaker C:But back then it wasn't like a Coleman cooler.
Speaker C:This was like you went to the Dewares or whatever.
Speaker A:And then the Styrofoam Continental.
Speaker C:The Styrofoam cooler.
Speaker A:Coolers.
Speaker C:And then they grab ice and throw it in all their stubby beers.
Speaker C:They go in there and then they shove the beer into the.
Speaker C:In the sand to keep it cool.
Speaker C:Right?
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker C:While they were.
Speaker C:While they were drinking it in their lawn chairs.
Speaker C:And we'd all be out in the water, all the cousins and everything.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:And then we'd be playing with the jellyfish or whatever it was.
Speaker C:So that.
Speaker C:The stubbies.
Speaker C:That was kind of the era.
Speaker C:This was like.
Speaker A:And what was the brand?
Speaker C:70S.
Speaker A:Was that schooner?
Speaker A:Was that something else or was it.
Speaker C:They had schooner.
Speaker A:It wasn't blue.
Speaker C:Yeah, they had Labats.
Speaker C:They had blue.
Speaker C:I don't know if Labats had light back then.
Speaker C:It may have just.
Speaker A:No, there's no way there was light beer back then.
Speaker C:And then.
Speaker C:Do you remember, James?
Speaker C:Ready?
Speaker C:Yeah, I don't know if that still exists.
Speaker A:Yeah, I think it's still there.
Speaker A:I think there's a James.
Speaker A:No, wait.
Speaker A:Oh, maybe I'm mixing it with Canadian.
Speaker C:Like all the.
Speaker A:Oh, Canadian.
Speaker C:Like when we moved to Manitoba, it was like, what is club beer?
Speaker C:I've never heard.
Speaker A:Yeah, like all the beer was like.
Speaker C:And that was.
Speaker A:I don't.
Speaker A:Did we have Blue.
Speaker D:Back home.
Speaker A:Labet's blue, yeah.
Speaker A:Oh, yeah.
Speaker C:I remember seeing a couple because.
Speaker A:Okay, well, yeah, but a couple.
Speaker A:Of course.
Speaker A:Of course you did that.
Speaker C:And Alpine.
Speaker C:Alpine was.
Speaker A:Alpine.
Speaker A:Alpine, yeah.
Speaker C:Oh, what was the other one?
Speaker C:No, no, I'm thinking Schooner.
Speaker C:Sorry.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:Schooner.
Speaker A:Schooner and Alpine.
Speaker A:Those are two of the big ones, for sure.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Schooner was my brand, I guess when I went.
Speaker C:When I was drinking beer.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:But.
Speaker C:Yeah, and then we moved out here and there's a whole bunch of brands I'd never heard of, so I was like.
Speaker C:Then the American brand started coming in.
Speaker C:Like they had the silver bullet type of thing.
Speaker C:They had the Miller.
Speaker C:They had all these other brands that just kind of came in.
Speaker C:I guess they must have been called imported back.

Speaker E:Yeah.
Speaker E:And back bacon.
Speaker E:It's like, normally you need a pound, right?
Speaker E:Yeah.
Speaker E:So in metric, you double it as 2 and 30 is 32 kilos of back big.
Speaker B:Yeah, but what if the speed limit is like 50 miles an hour?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:Then what do you do?
Speaker B:Double it.

Speaker C:And.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker E:Yeah.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:So totally forgot where we came from.

Speaker A:Both tracks.
Speaker A:Which is the best Getty Lee guest vocal?

Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:Whereas the other one is cool to hear.
Speaker E:Yeah.
Speaker C:So I don't know.
Speaker C:I take the Max Lips for one, I guess.

Speaker A:Me too.
Speaker C:Yeah,.
Speaker A:I love that that Max Wester album also has that song check on it.
Speaker C:Okay.

Speaker C:It's one of those things where.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Like, it's the very first item that I have.
Speaker C:Just.
Speaker C:Just kind of like people buying action figures and they don't open the box.
Speaker A:Yeah, I don't think you're supposed to open it.
Speaker C:So this is.
Speaker C:I mean, I could, but I prefer not to.
Speaker C:Oh, it's basically the girl where Rush Exit Stage Left.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:She's standing in front of the.
Speaker C:The curtain.
Speaker C:She got the blue dress, and so it's basically a pop of.
Speaker C:Of that person with the Rush Exit Stage Left album cover in the back.

Speaker A:Yep.
Speaker C:Yeah, I like listen.
Speaker A:Did he have this one?
Speaker A:Did we listen to this at his house?

Speaker A:Guess who sucked the jets were lousy anyway.
Speaker C:Who's that?
Speaker A:Anytime I get a chance to dis the guess who, I guess it's worthwhile.
Speaker B:I don't know.
Speaker A:Oh, okay.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:So that's a go for me.
Speaker A:So we heard a whole bunch of Max Webster songs featuring Kim Mitchell.
Speaker A:Kim Mitchell, Canadian icon.
Speaker A:Is that.
Speaker A:Is that fair to say?
Speaker C:Yeah, I would say so.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:So that was all his.
Speaker A:That was a whole bunch of his work.
Speaker C:He always had a ball cap with long hair because I think he was bald on top of his head.
Speaker A:Oh, yeah.
Speaker C:And then now you.
Speaker C:Now he looks like Max Headroom or you know, one of those guys that shaves their head.
Speaker C:He kind of looks way different.
Speaker A:Yeah, way different.
Speaker A:Now he.
Speaker A:I don't think people realize how big he is.
Speaker A:He was in Canada, but Max Webster was like kind of a big.
Speaker A:It was a big deal, but it was like really weird band.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:Like it was.
Speaker A:You know, it wasn't.
Speaker A:I don't know what the word.
Speaker C:Kind of like street heart.
Speaker C:Like it was kind of like a.
Speaker C:Not a local.
Speaker C:It was local, but it was more.
Speaker C:They're a well known Canadian band.
Speaker C:Not.
Speaker C:Not as big as.
Speaker C:As Triumph or Rush or anything like that.
Speaker D:But.
Speaker A:But I think he was bigger on his own, right?
Speaker A:Would you say?
Speaker C:I would say so because he had the big.
Speaker C:He was.
Speaker A:More sodas.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:At least that's when I heard of him more so when he became just Kim Mitchell instead of Max Webster.
Speaker A:Okay, so this.
Speaker A:This was probably the biggest hit here of his score solo career.
Speaker C:So.
Speaker A:Okay, now it's got some guitar in it.
Speaker C:Right, right.
Speaker A:It's got some good guitar.
Speaker A:Get that big, you know, that big launch.
Speaker A:But very, like, poppy.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:And then he had this song.
Speaker A:Another poppy song.
Speaker C:Right.
Speaker C:Very radio friendly.
Speaker C:Go for Soda.
Speaker C:We actually played in LJR in the Gym.
Speaker C:We played it in an amateur night one yet.
Speaker C:What?
Speaker C:Go for a Soda.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker E:Really?
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:I don't think you were.
Speaker C:You may not have been there.

Speaker A:Nice.
Speaker C:While he's doing his drumming.
Speaker C:So.
Speaker C:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker C:The good old days now.
Speaker A:So very poppy stuff.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:So he comes out of the gate.
Speaker A:First single is.
Speaker A:Is Go for Soda, Right.
Speaker A:That was a big solo debut.
Speaker A:Get a really cool video for it with Bugamos.
Speaker A:Bugamo's like, look alike.
Speaker A:In case you forget who Bugamo is.
Speaker A:He's the guy that said, where is it?
Speaker B:Here.
Speaker D:Get off the stage.
Speaker E:Right.
Speaker C:Get off the stage.
Speaker A:Yeah, that's bugable.
Speaker C:Anyway, that.
Speaker C:That's Shuck Touche there.
Speaker A:That's Shaktish.
Speaker A:Anyway, so, okay, so there's kind of a.
Speaker A:There's a perception.
Speaker A:Oh, he could play some guitar.
Speaker A:But wow, those are really poppy songs.
Speaker C:Right, right.
Speaker A:But then he.
Speaker A:He does this.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah.

Speaker A:You know what?
Speaker C:Thank God it had two sides.
Speaker C:So that you go back to the beginning.
Speaker C:And the other one, you have to rewind it all the way back like a VHS tape.
Speaker A:Here, I'm gonna put this on.
Speaker A:So this was his other song.

Speaker C:Well, not tone is off, but it's not.
Speaker C:It wasn't his voice.
Speaker C:It wasn't his.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker C:You know, and.
Speaker C:But it was like, wow, this guy can sing.
Speaker C:That's like when we went to go see Journey and there was that song that the drummer's singing and I thought for sure it was the lead singer.
Speaker C:And I was like, no, it's the drummer.
Speaker C:Yeah, he's got pipes on him and he's playing the drums.
Speaker C:It's like, holy crap.
Speaker A:So Kim Mitchell's longtime collaborator was that guy?
Speaker A:Well, yeah, because he plays bass, he plays guitar, he plays piano.
Speaker C:I saw him at the Apple Festival one year.
Speaker A:What was the Apple Apple, like the Cordon Apple Festival.
Speaker C:I went to the festival one year.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker D:And.
Speaker C:That was the year I think you had to bring my ex to the hospital or something or other.
Speaker A:Oh my God.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:And I was.
Speaker C:And Kim Mitchell.
Speaker C:I remember Kim Mitchell was playing out there.
Speaker C:I thought it was called the Apple Festival.
Speaker A:The Corridor and Apple Festival.
Speaker C:No, it wasn't Cordon.
Speaker C:No, this was like out of town.
Speaker C:Like it was a.
Speaker A:The more.
Speaker A:Sorry, the morden Apple Festival.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker C:That could be it.
Speaker E:Yeah.
Speaker C:Like you had to drive in and people were camping and the stage and the beer gardens and.
Speaker C:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker C:One of the only times everyone out and.
Speaker C:Yeah, but.
Speaker C:Yeah, that was.
Speaker C:But they were excellent.
Speaker C:And I remember him playing bass like he was.
Speaker C:He was up there.
Speaker C:The other guy with Kim.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker A:So, yeah, he was like the like the guy in.
Speaker A:The guy in.
Speaker C:Now, did he.
Speaker C:Chester, is he just not old enough to grow hair?
Speaker B:Like.
Speaker D:Okay.
Speaker A:In the video he's wearing this like aqua.
Speaker A:Aqua blue velvet jacket with like shoulder pads and no shirt.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Kind of like no chest hair.
Speaker C:Nothing.
Speaker C:Just mind you, Kim Mitchell had nothing.
Speaker C:You know, he was pretty skinny.
Speaker C:He was skinnier than.
Speaker A:Yeah,.
Speaker D:So.
Speaker A:So that guy was kind of like the secret weapon.
Speaker A:Mm, yeah.
Speaker A:Like he was really good.
Speaker A:But I think a lot of.
Speaker A:I think he was co writing with Kim.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker A:And honestly, I think.
Speaker A:I think that he was key to getting the pop sensibilities, but he was also like a much.
Speaker A:I don't know, like a really, really, really, like solid singer.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker C:Very, very solid.
Speaker C:Now did he play anywhere else?
Speaker A:Sorry, what's that?
Speaker C:Did he play anywhere else or with anyone else?
Speaker C:Or was it just straight with Camp Pie dubois?
Speaker A:Let's.
Speaker A:Let's see, this is some good Canadian history here.
Speaker A:PI dubois, Canadian lyricist and poet.
Speaker A:He's worked mainly with Kim Mitchell and Max Webster.
Speaker C:Oh, and Max Webster.
Speaker C:So he brought him with him.
Speaker A:Dubois accompanied Max Webster in the studio and wrote lyrics for each of their albums.
Speaker A:He was given lyric writing credits and several Rush songs, most notably Tom Sawyer okay.
Speaker A:Which has been included in the soundtrack of several films.
Speaker A:Dubois wrote the poem There is a lake between sun and moon, which inspired Rush to write many of the lyrics for the album counterparts, including a song of the same name for which dubois received co writing credit.
Speaker A:He is also credited as a writer on The Rush Songs Force 10 and Tes 4 Echo.
Speaker A:After Max Webster dissolved, Dubois continued his writing relationship with singer and guitarist Kim Mitchell on his solo albums.
Speaker A:The this included all but one of the songs on Kim's platinum Akimbo logo.
Speaker A:Every song on the triple platinum Shaking Like a Human Being Shaken Like a Human Being went triple fucking platinum.
Speaker A:Fuck yeah.
Speaker A:In double platinum Rockland.
Speaker A:Dubois had a falling out with Mitchell during the sessions for Rockland, caused by Mitchell's decision to record the album in the US without dubois present in the studio as he had been in the past.
Speaker A:Dubois did not write on Mitchell's follow up album, Oral Fixations.
Speaker C:That was a good album though.
Speaker A: dy Curran, but did return for: Speaker A: most recent one in Toronto in: Speaker A: n Songwriters hall of fame in: Speaker C:Oh, so he's getting paid.
Speaker A:Yeah, man.
Speaker A:Or he was getting paid like a wow.
Speaker C:Huh?
Speaker A:Okay, I'm just going to play this real quick.
Speaker A:This is Cal thinking of you.
Speaker A:If you know the song, sing along, please.
Speaker D:All right.
Speaker A:Remember this song?
Speaker A:Oh, these guys don't look the same at all anymore.
Speaker A: It's: Speaker D:All right.
Speaker C:Looking.
Speaker B:That video.
Speaker A:Oh, sorry.
Speaker A:This is Harlequin thinking of you.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker A:I'm okay.
Speaker C:I thought it was at first when he started singing.
Speaker C:I was like, hey, is that the guy from the wrestler?
Speaker C:What's that guy's name?
Speaker A:Mickey Rourke.
Speaker C:Mickey Rourke.
Speaker A:Nice.
Speaker A:Nice.
Speaker A:I thought.
Speaker A:I was trying to find.
Speaker A:So Harlequin.
Speaker A:When they used to play live, the band would often play without the singer and the bass player would handle the singing duties at the time when we used to see them in the clubs.
Speaker A:Oh, and they used to be called Howling Now.
Speaker C:Oh, okay.
Speaker A:Do you remember that?
Speaker C:I think I remember them playing at the.
Speaker A:Oh, is it called Palladium?
Speaker C:No.
Speaker D:Nope.
Speaker A:Night Moves.
Speaker C:Night Moves.
Speaker C:That was a double tiered bar, right?
Speaker A:Night Moves, correct.
Speaker C:Yes.
Speaker C:Or 92 City.
Speaker C:Or was it 92 Kiss FM?
Speaker C:I don't know.
Speaker C:They had different names.
Speaker C:That's every Friday night.
Speaker C:They had the live bands.
Speaker A:Yep.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:I was trying to see if I could find Howling now anywhere, but I see nothing.
Speaker D:Band.
Speaker A:So basically they would play on their own without.
Speaker A:I don't know.
Speaker A:I can't remember who the singer was.
Speaker A:Not Kenny Shields.
Speaker A:But anyway, they would play without them and then the bass player would sing and the keyboard player would also sing and they would do a version of Comfortably Numb, which I always said, and you always told me, no, it's not true.
Speaker A:I always said they played a version of Comfortably Numb that was better than the Pink Floyd version.
Speaker A:You always told me, no, that's not true.
Speaker A:But.
Speaker A:But because both they had two singers, they sang kind of the two parts.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:The keyboard player would sing the higher part and the bass player would play the lower part.
Speaker C:But anyway, interesting.
Speaker C:Kenny Shields, when I went to Mid Ocean Recording Studios here, actually just over here, eons ago, when these to be open, when we were doing our recording, Kenny Shields came in and did a demo thing.
Speaker C:Just what he did the.
Speaker C:He did the.
Speaker C:The drums, the Guitar and the bass, and he did all of the stuff.
Speaker C:And then we kind of recorded them.
Speaker A:What?
Speaker C:And we all took.
Speaker C:No, you didn't.
Speaker C:Mixing it.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:Holy.
Speaker C:That was back in the day.
Speaker A:Holy.
Speaker A:I had no idea.
