Episode description

Every pro driver knows that the right music can make a ten-hour run feel like five, and the wrong playlist can make it feel like twenty. In Episode 32 of Always Pneumatic, Never Static, host Marcus sits down with driver Greg Sigler, driver Walter Anderson, and Rodney Watts, frontman of Rodney Watts and The Soldiers' Pride and Walter's bandmate, for one of the show's most fun conversations. What decade produced the best music? Which bands got so overplayed on the radio that you cannot hear them anymore without reaching for the dial? What belongs on the ultimate driver-created playlist that the whole Bulk and Spur fleet can use on the road? All of it is on the table, and the conversation does not slow down. Before the interview kicks off, President Bryan DeWolf delivers a personal message to every driver in the fleet for Driver Appreciation Week. This one is for every driver with a long haul ahead and a six-inch speaker that deserves better than whatever the radio algorithm is feeding you.

About This Episode

This week on Always Pneumatic, Never Static, Episode 32 opens with something special. Before Marcus says a single word, Bulk and Spur President Bryan DeWolf steps up to the microphone personally to deliver a Driver Appreciation Week message to every driver in the fleet. It was Bryan's idea. Not the show's. That detail matters. After that, Marcus brings in driver Greg Sigler, driver Walter Anderson making his second appearance, and Rodney Watts, frontman of Rodney Watts and The Soldiers' Pride, and the father of the nine-year-old singer Mackenzie Watts that Walter introduced to the show in Episode 30. The conversation that follows covers every genre, every decade, and every category of driving music you can think of and then some.

Episode Highlights

The playlist is being built in real time: This episode doubled as the official start of the Always Pneumantic, Never Static driver playlist. Every song mentioned during the recording went on a list. Drivers who were not on the show can submit their own selections through the Episode 32 quiz on podcast.bulktransit.com. Every submission counts as a giveaway entry. The full playlist will be released within a few weeks of the episode airing.

Songs for waiting at a shipper or receiver: Marcus kicked off the playlist building with a category every driver knows too well. Walter went straight to Johnny Paycheck's Take This Job and Shove It which landed exactly as expected. He also added Eddie Rabbitt's Driving My Life Away. Rodney picked Teddy Bear by Red Sovine because it reminded him that there is always something worse going on somewhere and gratitude is a better travel companion than frustration. Marcus added The Decline by NOFX, an almost 19 minute punk rock song that he described as six songs in one and a perfect way to fill two or three full waits at a receiver. He acknowledged it might get skipped.

Songs for blowing off steam: Greg Sigler went with Awake and Alive by Skillet, a Christian hard rock band whose harmonies between the male and female vocalists he described as phenomenal. Marcus confirmed he has a well-documented crush on Skillet's drummer Jen Sigler. Walter went with Cajun Style, a song that Rodney actually wrote and the band performs together, followed by Corn Don't Grow by Travis Tritt and Better Class of Losers by Randy Travis. Marcus shared that his uncle built a house for Randy Travis in Maui in the late 1990s and somewhere in his memorabilia is a personally signed shirtless Randy Travis Coca-Cola advertisement made out to Marcus. He confirmed it is somewhere. He has not found it lately. Marcus added Darwinism by Kubler-Khan, a Texas metal band playing a style called beatdown, which he described as his personal anger management tool of choice. The opening lyric alone was enough to settle him off a ledge on more than one occasion.

Songs that got ruined by overplaying: Marcus opened the category with a well-reasoned argument that the only reason Mariah Carey holds a Top 40 record is because nobody stopped playing All I Want for Christmas Is You for an entire decade. Walter immediately named Shania Twain and Man I Feel Like a Woman as the song that wore out its welcome. Greg went a different direction and admitted quietly and with appropriate levels of embarrassment that the song that crosses the line into the cab when no one is watching is from a Rodney Carrington song he declined to name by title on the podcast. Marcus confirmed he knew exactly which song it was and also declined to say it on air. He did share that he once got to introduce Rodney Carrington at a sold out show in Eugene, Oregon and was invited onto the tour bus afterward where Rodney made sure the opening act ate before his own band did. Walter then revealed that Rodney Watts and The Soldiers' Pride had actually opened for Rodney Carrington in Evansville and confirmed the hospitality reputation firsthand.

Songs that are a guilty pleasure: Marcus went first and admitted without much hesitation that he genuinely loves Fight Song by Rachel Platten. A lifelong pop punk musician who plays in a band, owns a Yellow Card shirt, and will play three hours of nothing but pop punk at his next show. Also regularly moved to tears by a piano intro from a Rachel Platten song. He stands by it. Greg eventually admitted the song from his guilty playlist was I Have Loved You For 10,000 Years, which he could not immediately identify the artist for but confirmed is a song he plays privately and specifically not for his spouse. Walter held out and declined to name a guilty pleasure. He claimed to like everything he listens to and offered the floor to Rodney instead. Rodney then confessed to Stayin' Alive by the Bee Gees, complete with a commitment that if you are going to own that song you have to walk at the exact BPM of the music video while wearing white pants.

The all-time favorite trucking song category: Marcus closed the episode with a few categories he did not get to during recording. His pick for best trucking song is Big Bad John by Jimmy Dean, a song he believes was written about exactly the kind of person who drives a truck. He also revealed that his all-time favorite song is Dammit by Blink-182 and his all-time favorite band is Blink-182. He is aware this came right after confessing to loving Fight Song. He is at peace with the contradiction.

From The Host

“Driver Appreciation Week should probably be 52 weeks long. That is not something I say as a throwaway line. I say it because I sit in enough meetings to know that the gratitude Bryan extended in that opening message is not reserved for one week a year. It is how that ownership team actually thinks about the people driving for them every day. So from all of us here at Always Pneumantic, Never Static, to every driver at Bulk and Spur whether you drive out of Fairborn or Saginaw or Evansville or any terminal in between, thank you. Now go take the Episode 32 quiz, submit your songs for the playlist, and get entered for the giveaway. We will announce the prize soon and it is going to be worth it.” — Marcus Bridges, Host

1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:06,360 Hello, everybody. This is Brian DeWolfe. I wanted to jump on the podcast during Driver Appreciation 2 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:13,120 Week to say a few words. So on behalf of Brad, Andrea and I to all of our drivers, this week is 3 00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:18,119 set aside to say something that we should say more often, and that is thank you. Every load that 4 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:24,000 gets delivered on time, every customer relationship we keep, every mile of goodwill on 5 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:30,960 the road, that's you. It's not lost on us that this job means missed family dinners, kids activities 6 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:36,840 and holidays on the road as well as ours most people will never understand. We built this 7 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:42,800 company on the work you do every single day and we don't take it for granted. Thank you for your 8 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:48,040 safety, your reliability and your commitment to this company and each other. Have a safe and 9 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:54,840 blessed week. You are listening to Always Pneumatic, Never Static, the 10 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,970 Totally Pressurized podcast brought to you by Bulk Transit where we keep the lines clear, the 11 00:00:59,970 --> 00:01:05,249 tanks empty, and the conversation anything but dry. Whether you're running powder pellets or anything 12 00:01:05,249 --> 00:01:12,209 in between. Pull up a seat, crack the windows and let's hit it. How's it going 13 00:01:12,209 --> 00:01:18,449 out there? Bulk and Spur. Happy driver appreciation Week from all of us here at Always Pneumatic, 14 00:01:18,449 --> 00:01:25,049 never static. To all of you out there driving for bulk and Spur. Awesome little message we got there 15 00:01:25,050 --> 00:01:31,889 from Brian De Wolfe beforehand. And you can definitely hear, uh, his dedication to you guys 16 00:01:31,889 --> 00:01:38,569 and the companies. Um, I guess gratitude that is really being extended, not just this week, 17 00:01:38,610 --> 00:01:45,369 obviously. Driver Appreciation Week is the week we all join hands across America and make it a point. 18 00:01:45,370 --> 00:01:51,089 Uh, but I get to sit in enough meetings with Brian to know that he's really, uh, he's being serious 19 00:01:51,089 --> 00:01:55,929 there when he says, hey, this is something that's for every week. We value this all the time. Uh, I 20 00:01:55,929 --> 00:02:02,379 really appreciate Brian stopping by there for a quick little driver appreciation message. Um, and 21 00:02:02,379 --> 00:02:07,779 by the way, that was not our idea here from always pneumatic, never static. That was Brian putting his 22 00:02:07,779 --> 00:02:13,539 hand up and say, hey, I really want to get on to this episode and, uh, and deliver a message. So, uh, 23 00:02:13,539 --> 00:02:18,860 but you guys already know the ownership of this company. You already know them. You already love 24 00:02:18,860 --> 00:02:24,899 them. You already love working for them. Um, and so hopefully this driver Appreciation Week just 25 00:02:24,899 --> 00:02:31,059 extends that sentiment a little bit more for you. Um, and of course, from all of us here at Always 26 00:02:31,059 --> 00:02:36,779 Pneumatic, never static, we can actually say we would not have a job if it was not for you, the 27 00:02:36,779 --> 00:02:43,459 listener, the drivers at Bulk and Spur. So thank you all so much for everything you do. 28 00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:50,339 Not just this week, but every single week of the year. Moving all of the things that move America. 29 00:02:50,619 --> 00:02:56,179 Um, Driver Appreciation Week should probably be 52 weeks long. We all know that, and it should cover 30 00:02:56,190 --> 00:03:03,029 all the major holidays too, because you guys are working. Uh, so, uh, just know that myself, 31 00:03:03,030 --> 00:03:09,949 Mike, my audio ninja, Jessica, my producer. Arie and Lurie on art. Hannah on copy. Uh, Haley 32 00:03:09,950 --> 00:03:16,509 on driver engagement days on driver engagement. We really have a whole team here. Uh, working for you, 33 00:03:16,550 --> 00:03:21,710 Keisha. Handling all the stuff behind the scenes. Gosh, I've never mentioned Kesha's name on this 34 00:03:21,710 --> 00:03:27,109 podcast. When I say thanks to everybody. Uh, but, Kesha, if it wasn't for her, you guys wouldn't even 35 00:03:27,110 --> 00:03:33,390 hear this thing every single week. So from all of us that I just mentioned there, uh, happy Driver 36 00:03:33,390 --> 00:03:38,589 Appreciation Week to you, bulk and Spur drivers. And thank you so much for what you do. We hope you 37 00:03:38,590 --> 00:03:45,390 guys will all be safe out there, as you always are. Um, now, today's episode 38 00:03:45,390 --> 00:03:51,989 is kind of a fun one, actually, because we're talking about music. Uh, in general, I would say the 39 00:03:51,990 --> 00:03:57,320 the wide scope here is music, because we're going to talk a little bit about playing music today, 40 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:03,680 being a musician, but more so we're going to focus on the music that we listen to and especially the 41 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:08,919 music you drivers like to listen to when you're out on the road. I've got two drivers and a 42 00:04:08,919 --> 00:04:13,519 special guest joining us coming up here in just a couple of minutes, and that conversation went long. 43 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,440 So I got to keep this intro short so that we can make sure and get all of that great content on 44 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:23,879 the air, because my, my two drivers and my special guests today really knocked it out of the park. 45 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:29,959 Now, there is actually a caveat today to today's episode that I'm really excited about. 46 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,880 We talked a lot and I'm talking to you from the future right now. Okay, I've already recorded my 47 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:41,239 interview segment with my drivers in the special guest. Um, but we talked a lot about what type of 48 00:04:41,239 --> 00:04:46,800 music these guys like to listen to, and they gave us not only artist recommendations, but song 49 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:52,959 recommendations as well. And so we thought, hey, it would be pretty cool if rather than you guys 50 00:04:52,999 --> 00:04:58,559 having to go out and search for every song or every artist that we talk about today, we could 51 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:04,879 just build you a playlist. And that's exactly what we're going to do after this show. Sometime within 52 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:10,559 the next couple of weeks, we will have a playlist for you that you can go and and follow. You can 53 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,319 share it with your friends. You can listen to it out on the road. You can share it with your family. 54 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:19,919 Uh, from all the songs that we talked about here. And the cool part is you might be thinking, well, 55 00:05:19,959 --> 00:05:25,959 that's cool, but I really wish I would get to make a selection or two on the playlist. Well, we're 56 00:05:25,959 --> 00:05:30,679 going to let you do that. You know how we have these quizzes that come with every single episode 57 00:05:30,679 --> 00:05:37,599 at the website podcast.bulktransit.com? We're constantly cranking out quizzes for these episodes. 58 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:44,159 Well, the quiz that is associated with today's episode, which is episode 32, is 59 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:50,919 actually a song submission list. We are going to let you fill out the playlist if you 60 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,449 weren't on the show today, which only two drivers were. So there's a lot of you out there that are 61 00:05:55,450 --> 00:06:00,369 listening right now that might want a piece of this playlist. That's totally fine. All you have to 62 00:06:00,369 --> 00:06:07,089 do is go over to the website podcast.bulktransit.com, take the quiz associated with episode 63 00:06:07,089 --> 00:06:13,849 32, send us the songs that you want to put on the playlist. We'll put them on there and we will 64 00:06:13,850 --> 00:06:20,489 count that entry as an entry into our next giveaway, which will be announced here within the 65 00:06:20,489 --> 00:06:27,048 next few weeks. So two things that you get to do with your quiz this week one, you get to add to 66 00:06:27,049 --> 00:06:31,849 the playlist that we're going to make available for all of you guys to check out. And two, you can 67 00:06:31,850 --> 00:06:37,689 get your very first entry into our drawing for an awesome prize to be announced here within the 68 00:06:37,690 --> 00:06:44,649 next few weeks on the show. So lots going on today. Not only is it Driver Appreciation Week, we're 69 00:06:44,649 --> 00:06:49,649 trying to appreciate you drivers by giving you a chance to build your own playlist to listen to 70 00:06:49,649 --> 00:06:56,019 while you're out there on the road. And there are some great suggestions coming out of today's, uh, 71 00:06:56,019 --> 00:07:01,779 segment. Okay. Uh, and I mean, listen, I like all the suggestions everybody made. I like the suggestions 72 00:07:01,779 --> 00:07:06,539 I made, of course, because they're my personal favorites. But the one thing that I can promise 73 00:07:06,579 --> 00:07:11,419 you is we're going to be all over the board in terms of the genre of music that we're talking 74 00:07:11,420 --> 00:07:17,940 about. We got country, we got rock, we got pop, we got it all. And we're even spanning some, uh, some 75 00:07:17,940 --> 00:07:24,699 decades here. Okay. So start thinking right now as you listen through this next interview that's 76 00:07:24,700 --> 00:07:29,019 coming up here in just a few seconds, I want you to be thinking about what song would I put on 77 00:07:29,020 --> 00:07:35,139 this playlist and then go take the quiz, send it to me, and get entered for our next giveaway 78 00:07:35,139 --> 00:07:41,660 drawing telling you. Today's episode is chock full of fun stuff, so you better be locked in. Let's 79 00:07:41,660 --> 00:07:45,059 bring our drivers and our special guest in here right now. 80 00:07:52,589 --> 00:07:57,150 All right. I told you guys in the open that I was jumping from foot to foot about this episode. 81 00:07:57,189 --> 00:08:03,869 Because I am a lifelong musician. I have always been, uh, as far back as my memories really 82 00:08:03,870 --> 00:08:09,549 go. Uh, I'm a musician. I mean, I think I started in fifth grade was the first time anybody put 83 00:08:09,549 --> 00:08:15,190 drumsticks in my hand. I had my first drum set when I was in seventh grade. And, uh, looking 84 00:08:15,190 --> 00:08:19,749 forward from there. It's been all music, all the time. I communicate with music. I'm one of these 85 00:08:19,749 --> 00:08:25,469 people that if I've got some big feelings that I want you to take part in, I'm probably going to 86 00:08:25,509 --> 00:08:30,909 send you a song to listen to rather than put it all in words, which is really weird. Uh, for a guy 87 00:08:30,949 --> 00:08:35,949 that never shuts up like me. So, uh, let's bring in our guests today and have this conversation 88 00:08:35,950 --> 00:08:41,189 because I'm very excited to welcome them. First up, joining us, uh, we got Greg Sigler back on the 89 00:08:41,189 --> 00:08:45,749 podcast. Greg, it's great to have you back, my friend. Welcome back to always Pneumatic, never 90 00:08:45,750 --> 00:08:50,919 static. Hey. Thanks, Markus. It's good being here. Thank you for being here. We've also got driver 91 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:56,319 Walter Anderson on the show. Walter, you're also joining us for, uh, I believe a second or a third 92 00:08:56,359 --> 00:09:01,200 time even. Welcome back. Man. Thanks for being here. Yeah, this is my second time, and I'm glad to be 93 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:07,280 here. Awesome. Well, you also brought us a third guest here, and I want to go back to the first 94 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:13,199 time that you came on the show. Uh, Walter, you brought up a really cool song, and you wanted, uh, 95 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:18,880 the drivers to go out there and listen to it. It was, uh, by a young girl named Mackenzie. What's. 96 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:25,839 It's called Let Me be, and I did. I went out there and I looked it up for you, and you were 100% 97 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:32,359 right. It is a bit of a tear jerker, especially with a young girl singing it. Uh, but you offered 98 00:09:32,359 --> 00:09:36,679 us up another guest. You. You said, hey, I got this guy. He doesn't drive for bulk, but I'd like to 99 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:43,399 have him on. And as I was doing my research here, Walter, I sort of put two and two together. Uh, 100 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:48,449 let's welcome Rodney Watts to the show. Rodney, thank you so much for being here, my friend. 101 00:09:48,449 --> 00:09:54,489 Welcome to always pneumatic, never static. Yeah, thanks for having me I appreciate it. Now, as I was 102 00:09:54,490 --> 00:09:59,688 listening to this song that Walter sent me, one thing I noticed in the credits is that it said 103 00:09:59,689 --> 00:10:06,209 that it was written by one Rodney Watts. So, Rodney, I gotta ask you, are you McKinsey's father? 104 00:10:06,409 --> 00:10:13,289 I am, most of the time when she lets me be. I hear you, man. Well, uh, super cool to have you on, because 105 00:10:13,289 --> 00:10:18,769 I now I see you're actually the one responsible, I think, for writing that song. Uh, and if you guys 106 00:10:18,770 --> 00:10:25,009 want to go check it out, just go to YouTube and type in Let Me Be and McKenzie Watts and I will 107 00:10:25,010 --> 00:10:32,010 say, uh, Rodney, great job on the spelling there. I, I see that you have the make e NZ 108 00:10:32,449 --> 00:10:37,529 uh, is that correct on your daughter spelling? Yes. See, my sister's name is McKenzie. Also spelled 109 00:10:37,530 --> 00:10:42,608 like that. Uh, I come from a region here in Oregon where we have the McKenzie River and the McKenzie 110 00:10:42,609 --> 00:10:47,859 mountains and everything like that. Spelled incorrectly though they forget the A. So good job 111 00:10:47,859 --> 00:10:54,260 on that, Rodney. Just wanted to to give you the personal, uh, the personal gas up there, but outside 112 00:10:54,260 --> 00:11:00,059 of that, man, fantastic song. Now, before we get into anything else here today, since we sort of talked 113 00:11:00,060 --> 00:11:06,058 about this with Walter on the last episode, I just want to get a little bit of info for you about 114 00:11:06,059 --> 00:11:10,299 this song that we really hope a lot of the drivers that are listening will go out and check 115 00:11:10,300 --> 00:11:15,539 out. Once again, it's called Let Me Be by Mackenzie, what's on YouTube. And uh, tell us a little bit 116 00:11:15,539 --> 00:11:20,299 about the story behind the song, Rodney. Well, I'll be honest with you, she actually wrote most of the 117 00:11:20,299 --> 00:11:27,019 song. This song started being produced at six years old. Um, she's nine years old now. Uh, but she 118 00:11:27,020 --> 00:11:30,979 came home from school one day in the first grade and she said, hey, dad, she had a bunch of words on 119 00:11:30,979 --> 00:11:34,939 a piece of paper. She said, can you help me write a song? There's one of my friends at school is 120 00:11:34,940 --> 00:11:39,819 getting bullied. And I said, well, yeah. We sat down and we wrote this song, and, you know, she put her 121 00:11:39,820 --> 00:11:43,749 $0.02 in there. So she was just much a part of this with. I was kind of writing off of her 122 00:11:43,749 --> 00:11:49,389 feelings more or less. But, you know, coming from a military background, I've retired from the Army, 123 00:11:49,469 --> 00:11:53,830 you know, and growing up, I'm a little older generation. So, you know, not just in the first 124 00:11:53,830 --> 00:11:57,589 grade, but anywhere you look. There's a lot of bullying going on. So there's a lot of heart and 125 00:11:57,590 --> 00:12:03,469 feeling that went into this song for her. Man. You can tell, uh, and and how proud were you as a dad 126 00:12:03,469 --> 00:12:10,228 when a, when a young kid like that comes home and wants to write not only a song, but a song that's 127 00:12:10,270 --> 00:12:15,469 actually meant to have a message that hopefully will resonate with a lot of people. I got to be 128 00:12:15,469 --> 00:12:19,069 honest with you, it's probably one of the proudest days that I've had in a long time. And I'll be 129 00:12:19,070 --> 00:12:23,230 honest with you, I don't want to brag on my two children, but I have a nine year old and a ten 130 00:12:23,270 --> 00:12:29,309 year old and the ten year old. She's actually writing music now also. But this song, particularly 131 00:12:29,310 --> 00:12:35,308 one video of the year last year at the North American Country Music Awards. Wow. Congratulations. 132 00:12:35,309 --> 00:12:41,280 I think we got a round of applause for that video of the year at the North American Country Music 133 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:46,599 Awards is no small feat. She's got to be the youngest one that's ever won it, I would assume. 134 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:53,439 She also received the honors of entertainer of the year for a nine year old. Wow. That's amazing. 135 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:59,919 Oh, that's so cool, Roger. Well, I want to say thank you for sharing the story. Also, thank you for your 136 00:12:59,919 --> 00:13:05,678 service in the Army. Uh, to, uh, to put that much service in and retire as a serviceman, man. Uh, we 137 00:13:05,719 --> 00:13:10,919 we love our vets on the show. Will always make space for that. So, uh, greatly appreciate it. 138 00:13:10,919 --> 00:13:17,799 They're your sacrifice. And, uh, and I will tell you, is this gonna snowball into, like, a a music career? 139 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,759 Do you think, is this something that your daughter is really falling in love with at such a young 140 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:26,559 age that you think it's going to follow her through the rest of her life? Oh, I think she's 141 00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:31,400 already been bitten by the bug. She actually wrote four more songs on that first album. She released 142 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:38,319 her first album at six after that video came out. So every every show she opens, she opens for us 143 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:43,649 as a group. And then, uh, you know, she comes up during the show. That is my turn to sing. So she's 144 00:13:43,650 --> 00:13:49,409 very, very I mean, she's very ready to get it all the time. I hear you. She wants that stage time. 145 00:13:49,409 --> 00:13:54,209 That's a great thing to have. Man, a lot of us at that age were really afraid of the stage time. So, 146 00:13:54,330 --> 00:13:59,169 uh, to have that mindset. That's great. And. And, Rodney, tell me about your band real quick. You 147 00:13:59,169 --> 00:14:05,009 just mentioned your daughter opens for you. Yeah, actually, we've been on the road with a bunch of 148 00:14:05,010 --> 00:14:11,329 big names Kenny Chesney, Hank Junior, um, Rodney Adkins, a number of artists. Um, we went and flew 149 00:14:11,329 --> 00:14:15,009 and opened for them and then, you know, came back home and done our own thing. But we're actually 150 00:14:15,049 --> 00:14:18,889 staying pretty busy right now. Matter of fact, Walter plays bass in my band. It's called Rodney 151 00:14:18,929 --> 00:14:25,249 Watts and Soldier's Pride. Um, and I actually received honors of Entertainer and Song of the 152 00:14:25,249 --> 00:14:30,769 year last year at the North American Country Music Awards. Congratulations. Another round of 153 00:14:30,769 --> 00:14:36,649 applause for Rodney here. That's amazing man. And did you mention Hank Williams Jr. In that the 154 00:14:36,649 --> 00:14:43,209 bands that you've shared the stage with. Yes, sir. We did. Wow, that's so cool, man. All my rowdy 155 00:14:43,210 --> 00:14:48,368 friends love them some Hank Williams junior. I'll tell you that much right now. Uh. Cool stuff. That's 156 00:14:48,369 --> 00:14:53,450 really cool stuff, man. Well, thank you for being here today. And I have to imagine if the if the 157 00:14:53,450 --> 00:14:58,049 band's name is Rodney Watts and Soldier's Pride, you've got to be the lead singer lead guitar 158 00:14:58,049 --> 00:15:04,209 player. Well, I kind of move up into the lead guitar spot. Um, you know, we just recently lost our 159 00:15:04,210 --> 00:15:10,888 guitar player of 23 years, so, uh. Yeah, I've kind of taken the reins until we take take somebody else 160 00:15:10,930 --> 00:15:14,769 on. But, you know, our big part of our show is entertaining. You know, I like to run through the 161 00:15:14,770 --> 00:15:19,090 crowd and get on the tables and, you know, make people's nights and make them smile. That's 162 00:15:19,090 --> 00:15:24,769 awesome, man. That's awesome. Well, thank you so much for joining us here today and bringing, uh, a 163 00:15:24,769 --> 00:15:30,649 little bit of outsider perspective to our playlist. Now, that's a very important thing. Uh, 164 00:15:30,650 --> 00:15:36,219 Greg, Walter, I'm not even sure if I told you guys this, but all the song Suggestions that are made 165 00:15:36,219 --> 00:15:42,900 today on this episode are going to be turned into an always pneumatic, never static playlist for you 166 00:15:42,900 --> 00:15:47,859 guys. Uh, I think that we'll probably put it on Spotify because that's where we can put our 167 00:15:47,859 --> 00:15:52,739 playlist. But what we want all of you guys to understand that are listening to this right now, 168 00:15:52,739 --> 00:15:58,819 is that the quiz that is associated with this week's episode will actually be a song submission 169 00:15:58,820 --> 00:16:04,859 form. So head on over to the website and get your song submitted so that we can continue to build 170 00:16:04,860 --> 00:16:09,099 this playlist and you guys can all go check it out. Uh, while you're out there on the road or 171 00:16:09,099 --> 00:16:12,779 where you're on home time whenever you want to check it out. But we're going to have a sweet 172 00:16:12,780 --> 00:16:19,298 playlist here. And also, I will tell you right now, start filling your quizzes out, because we are 173 00:16:19,299 --> 00:16:26,299 going to start taking your quizzes as entries for a prize drawing that we will announce coming up 174 00:16:26,300 --> 00:16:32,179 here within the next couple of weeks. So starting this week with our music episode, we will start 175 00:16:32,219 --> 00:16:37,308 taking your Submissions. As quizzes for your entries into the contest. I know that's a little 176 00:16:37,309 --> 00:16:40,909 confusing, but we'll come back to it a little bit later. I'll talk about it at the end of the show 177 00:16:40,909 --> 00:16:47,349 to make sure that we get everything wrapped up there. Greg Sigler, I'm starting with you. I'm 178 00:16:47,349 --> 00:16:52,150 throwing you the biggest question of the day to start the conversation here. I know you've got 179 00:16:52,150 --> 00:16:59,070 some opinions just like I do, man. So tell me in Greg Sigler's eyes, what decade has the best 180 00:16:59,070 --> 00:17:05,509 music? 80s. The 80s, hands down. Even have to think about that, guys. Why the 80s, 181 00:17:05,550 --> 00:17:12,029 Greg? Ah, because that's when I grew up. You know, that's when I started coming into music back 182 00:17:12,069 --> 00:17:16,869 then. And do you go through school, high school and everything? Yeah. I mean, that just lived in 183 00:17:16,870 --> 00:17:22,748 Southern California and everything was just you. You heard it all the time. Man. What a great place 184 00:17:22,749 --> 00:17:28,029 to live as a young kid, you know? And I mean, I imagine living in Southern California, you were at 185 00:17:28,030 --> 00:17:34,159 concerts a lot of the time because what a great place to go see live music. You would think that. 186 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:39,999 But no. Mainly we were just on the beach and, you know, acting like idiots in cars and stuff. So just 187 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:45,040 that's always sad music on that. Also a good place to listen to music, man. I mean, what's acting like 188 00:17:45,079 --> 00:17:51,759 idiots on the beach without a little bit of motley crew? Right. Right, right. All right, 189 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:56,318 Walter, I'll kick it over to you, man. Same thing. And you can feel free to comment on anything that 190 00:17:56,319 --> 00:18:01,919 Greg said. So far, we're just sharing opinions right now. Uh, Walter, what do you think? What decade 191 00:18:01,959 --> 00:18:08,438 had the best music? Well, I kind of got three of the 70s 80s and early 192 00:18:08,439 --> 00:18:15,118 90s. I mean, to me, that's what it was. Music. You know what I mean? Um, I grew up on old 193 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:21,920 country. I mean, I'm talking Ernest Tubb, Loretta Lynn, and, you know, they were all. 194 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:27,040 I'm a little probably a little older than Greg. Maybe, I don't know. But, you know, that's just kind 195 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:32,930 of where I grew up and where I got stuck. You know, I got, I got, you know, listening to music when it 196 00:18:32,930 --> 00:18:39,809 was music, you know? Now there's so much electronic stuff in it and and all that good stuff. You know, 197 00:18:39,849 --> 00:18:46,650 people that can't sing can now sing. I don't know, it's just that's kind of where I'm stuck. 198 00:18:48,170 --> 00:18:55,089 Hey, I get it, man. I get it as a as a drummer myself. Uh, it's actually been the most recent 199 00:18:55,089 --> 00:19:01,968 decade, kind of this 2010 to 2020 and even to where we are now, where everybody has started. Um, 200 00:19:02,369 --> 00:19:08,009 I believe they call it quantizing their drums. So they basically mathematically put them into an 201 00:19:08,009 --> 00:19:14,449 equation that makes their drums mathematically perfect. And I can't stand it. It doesn't sound 202 00:19:14,449 --> 00:19:19,889 real to me. There's no dynamics in the drums, Walter, and I wonder if that's kind of the things 203 00:19:19,890 --> 00:19:24,568 you're you're kind of what you're talking about there. It's just. It sounds more like. What I'm 204 00:19:24,569 --> 00:19:29,129 referring to. Yeah, it sounds more like a computer's playing it than, uh, than than like a 205 00:19:29,180 --> 00:19:36,138 person is. And hey man, I get that I but I am surprised to hear you say 70s, 80s and 90s. 206 00:19:36,139 --> 00:19:41,539 Typically you 70s and 80s folks don't want to give the 90s that credit, but you're okay with 207 00:19:41,540 --> 00:19:46,979 some of the early 90s. I mean, there was a big heyday for popular country music in that early 208 00:19:46,979 --> 00:19:53,938 90s, wasn't there? Yeah. Oh yeah. You got your Randy Travis and you're George Strait 209 00:19:53,939 --> 00:19:59,179 and Clint Black and Garth Brooks. I mean, I'm not even a country fan, and I create them all. Marty. 210 00:19:59,180 --> 00:20:04,699 Stuart. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Let's not forget Alan Jackson, because, you know, Greg was talking about partying 211 00:20:04,699 --> 00:20:08,698 on some version of the Chattahoochee. I don't think it's the real one. I think it's out there 212 00:20:08,699 --> 00:20:15,619 West, but, uh. Yeah. So. Okay, you know, here's, here's I think we're all chasing a little 213 00:20:15,660 --> 00:20:22,380 bit of that neon rainbow. Right? Amen to that, man. Amen to that. So we got one for the 70s. We 214 00:20:22,380 --> 00:20:29,309 got two for the 80s, and we got one for the 90s. Right now I like it. Uh, Rodney. You're in 215 00:20:29,310 --> 00:20:35,469 on this conversation to man a musician yourself. What decade do you think had the best music? Well, 216 00:20:35,469 --> 00:20:40,909 I gotta say, uh, if I was going to choose rock, it would be 50s and 60s. And for country, it would be 217 00:20:40,910 --> 00:20:47,749 the 90s. Okay, now, what about the 50s? And 60s rock really gets to you. Rodney. Man, I love the 218 00:20:47,790 --> 00:20:54,029 Beach Boys. I love Jan and Dean. I love Neil Sedaka. It's just that groove and you know, and and it was 219 00:20:54,030 --> 00:20:58,829 a it was a cheaper sound that is like you said, it sounds more computerized now, but back then it was 220 00:20:58,829 --> 00:21:03,229 real live feeling. And however the amp turned out, that's how it turned out. You know what I mean? 221 00:21:03,269 --> 00:21:08,469 Yeah. So it was really raw and from the heart back in those days. That's very true. Now, what do you 222 00:21:08,469 --> 00:21:13,429 like about 90s country and who some who are some favorite artists that you might think of when 223 00:21:13,430 --> 00:21:18,949 you're thinking that 90s heyday of like that radio country? Well, when we play out live, you know, 224 00:21:18,990 --> 00:21:23,310 we like to play a few of the artists that we've been out with. And I really like Tracy Lawrence, 225 00:21:23,310 --> 00:21:28,719 George Strait, um, I mean, those are real stories about country music. And and I'll be honest, I'm 226 00:21:28,719 --> 00:21:35,639 not. I'm I'm very humble. So when I write a song, it might not be verse, verse, chorus, verse, like your 227 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:40,640 typical song, but when I write a song, it's about something I've seen out on the street or somebody 228 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:45,159 I passed in the hallway or you know what I mean? It's got a story with it. And that just seems to 229 00:21:45,199 --> 00:21:50,839 be failing this. You know, the music these days. Yeah. Everything seems to be about instant 230 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:57,240 gratification these days. And I, I feel like, you know, you can't get instant gratification out of a 231 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:03,359 song in 30 or 60s. You gotta you gotta take the whole thing, uh, you know, from the very first note 232 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:08,959 until the last one is done with its sustain. That's the piece of art, right? We don't look at a 233 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:15,719 painting and only look at the top 40% of it and say, oh, that's a masterpiece. No, no. You take the 234 00:22:15,719 --> 00:22:21,759 whole painting into perspective there. And I think the same thing with the song, but I don't know, 235 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:26,529 Rodney, I'll ask you. And then Walter and Greg, I'll go to you guys for this question too. Do you think 236 00:22:26,529 --> 00:22:31,569 that the advent of social media and kind of the infinite scroll, and the fact that our attention 237 00:22:31,569 --> 00:22:37,529 spans have all gotten somewhere shorter than about 60s? Do you feel like that is one of the 238 00:22:37,530 --> 00:22:41,889 things that's affecting the quality of music these days? People just aren't sticking around to 239 00:22:41,930 --> 00:22:47,289 listen, and so everybody's trying to get the best part of the song in that first 60 to 90s. What's 240 00:22:47,290 --> 00:22:52,889 your take there, Rodney? Well, my take is and being in the industry for a long time now, I mean, I've 241 00:22:52,890 --> 00:22:57,848 been around for a while. I just think that you're correct. And I think that you need to listen to 242 00:22:57,849 --> 00:23:01,769 the whole song to get the gist of it. I mean, if it's got a good beat, then, you know you're going 243 00:23:01,770 --> 00:23:06,769 to listen to it. But even if it doesn't, you know. And the other thing is, I think people say, oh, this 244 00:23:06,770 --> 00:23:11,169 was done by such and such hours. I'm gonna like this song before they even hear it. And it's not 245 00:23:11,209 --> 00:23:15,489 that's not the case anymore. You know, because I've always said that country music just doesn't seem 246 00:23:15,489 --> 00:23:21,290 like country music anymore. Interesting. Interesting take there. Uh, Walter, how do you feel? 247 00:23:21,650 --> 00:23:27,779 I feel pretty much the same way. Exactly the same way, you know? I mean, there's several artists out 248 00:23:27,780 --> 00:23:33,780 there I love to listen to, but I don't love every one of their songs. You know what I mean? And much 249 00:23:33,780 --> 00:23:40,739 like Rodney, I don't think country music is country music anymore. I'm sorry. To be 250 00:23:40,739 --> 00:23:46,539 honest with you, I listen to satellite radio all the time. Most of the time my radio is on prime 251 00:23:46,540 --> 00:23:53,019 country. You know, that's a lot of the older stuff, some of the newer stuff. But for the most part, you 252 00:23:53,020 --> 00:23:58,139 know, I hear a lot of stuff I like to listen to. How about I try to avoid all that other stuff? You 253 00:23:58,140 --> 00:24:03,978 know, people like Jelly Roll and I just can't do that. Hey, I was wondering if he was going to get 254 00:24:03,979 --> 00:24:08,259 brought up with you country fans in here today. I know that that's that one's got a little bit of a 255 00:24:08,259 --> 00:24:12,939 stigma attached to it there. Yeah. The the country fans out there either love that guy or they 256 00:24:12,939 --> 00:24:19,659 absolutely despise him. Um, and and look, hey, it's this is a very subjective 257 00:24:19,660 --> 00:24:25,300 subject, right? I mean, everybody gets to have their their opinion here. So, uh, that's all good, man. I'm 258 00:24:25,300 --> 00:24:31,339 not really a fan either. I'll be honest with you. I, I don't really like the. And I'm not. Let me let me 259 00:24:31,339 --> 00:24:37,179 tell you this right now. I'm a punk rocker, okay? I grew up listening to No Effects and Pennywise and 260 00:24:37,180 --> 00:24:42,379 and a little bit of the pop punk stuff, too, like blink 182 and Green Day. That's right. That's 261 00:24:42,379 --> 00:24:47,819 really where my allegiance lies. That's the type of music I've played my whole life. When I was a 262 00:24:47,819 --> 00:24:52,980 kid, I kind of got force fed the country a little bit because that was the stuff that my dad was 263 00:24:52,980 --> 00:24:58,539 listening to at the time. And when you're nine, you don't get access to the radio dial and forget. 264 00:24:58,579 --> 00:25:05,219 Exactly. For good reason. Right. So, uh, that was, you know, my, my upbringing was that 90s country, um, 265 00:25:05,219 --> 00:25:11,659 until I kind of found my own musical taste. And I will say, you, you put up jellyroll against Alan 266 00:25:11,660 --> 00:25:16,699 Jackson or against Randy Travis. I don't want anything to do with Jelly Roll. Uh, those songs 267 00:25:16,699 --> 00:25:22,469 from those guys in the 90s do make me feel okay. And I can't say that this new country makes me 268 00:25:22,469 --> 00:25:28,349 feel like anything other than filling up a red solo cup with the strongest alcohol present. Uh, so 269 00:25:28,350 --> 00:25:34,429 I don't necessarily have to pay attention anymore. So, uh, Greg, I'm going to go to you, man. Kind of the 270 00:25:34,430 --> 00:25:40,110 same question there. Uh, what's your take on on newer music? You heard what Walt and Rodney both 271 00:25:40,110 --> 00:25:45,109 had to say about it. Do you feel the same way or do you have a different opinion? Yeah, I listen to 272 00:25:45,110 --> 00:25:51,828 all different types of music, and I'm with you guys. I mean, the newer stuff is kind of catchy, but 273 00:25:51,829 --> 00:25:58,749 there's nothing to it. The older stuff, uh, like, I like Toby Keith. Oh, yeah, I like some of 274 00:25:58,750 --> 00:26:04,870 the 90s stuff and, you know, the early 2000. But, uh, the new stuff is catchy, but I really missed the 275 00:26:04,870 --> 00:26:11,349 days of the videos. MTV, when MTV actually showed videos. Yeah. There's a story to tell. 276 00:26:11,709 --> 00:26:17,310 Absolutely, absolutely. And while we're sitting here talking about how good 90s country was, can 277 00:26:17,349 --> 00:26:22,519 we get a little love for the harmonies and the melodies of a band like Blackhawk? I don't feel 278 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:29,479 like as many bands these days have 3 or 4 guys that can really belt it out and sing. You 279 00:26:29,479 --> 00:26:34,399 know, I go back to listening to the Oak Ridge Boys. None of those guys ever touched an instrument. It 280 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:40,279 was all just a microphone and the dulcet tones of their voice. Um, now I feel like it's like 281 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,759 everybody has to have an instrument and everybody has to be doing something on stage, which means 282 00:26:44,759 --> 00:26:51,679 that the the really good, thick, deep melodies and harmonies that you used to hear aren't really 283 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:57,318 there anymore. And that doesn't go for just country. That's sort of every genre. You know, a 284 00:26:57,319 --> 00:27:03,600 there's a lot of, uh, programed harmonies that you'll hear these days. Uh, and, and I don't know, I 285 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:08,439 look, I think it's cool that we have the technological ability to do something like that. 286 00:27:08,439 --> 00:27:14,480 But I also think that really, where does the cream rise to the top. Right. Because we know there's 287 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:18,969 some really good artists out there that don't get the credit that they deserve. And there are some 288 00:27:18,969 --> 00:27:25,130 trash cans out there that make millions of dollars every single day. Um, and I don't know. As a 289 00:27:25,130 --> 00:27:29,809 musician, guys, I almost feel a little bit offended by it. Greg, I don't know how you feel. I know you 290 00:27:29,810 --> 00:27:36,569 told me you hadn't played music in a while. Uh, but, man, it it ruffles my feathers. Greg, when I see 291 00:27:36,569 --> 00:27:42,049 somebody really successful that can barely play their guitar, they can't sing. But they've sold 3 292 00:27:42,050 --> 00:27:48,889 million copies of this latest song. That and Auto-Tune. Yeah, I just, I mean, because 293 00:27:48,890 --> 00:27:54,369 I, I personally can't, I couldn't carry a tune in a five gallon bucket, but I could play the heck out 294 00:27:54,369 --> 00:28:00,729 of this. I could sing backup, but I mean, like, way back in the parking lot, back up, way back. And 295 00:28:00,770 --> 00:28:07,729 actually when we had when we had four sets, uh, the third and fourth set, I sounded great to 296 00:28:07,729 --> 00:28:14,500 the audience. I mean, just awesome. Yeah. A two drink minimum will do that for you, Greg. Yes, Yeah. 297 00:28:15,260 --> 00:28:22,219 I mean, yeah. Take what you can get. Right? And, you know, I think I might be the the only drummer 298 00:28:22,219 --> 00:28:27,059 here in this conversation, but it's the exact opposite in a four show set for the drummer. I'm 299 00:28:27,060 --> 00:28:32,858 going to sound really good since one and two, the joints are gonna be hurting by set four. Okay, so 300 00:28:33,060 --> 00:28:37,979 just understand this. As you're sitting, you're talking with four musicians. It's different for 301 00:28:37,979 --> 00:28:44,619 everybody. Okay. Um, but great point there, Greg, I like it. Uh, all right. I've got 302 00:28:44,619 --> 00:28:50,579 so we've got a lot of decades here to pick from. And I really like that we go from the 50s to the 303 00:28:50,579 --> 00:28:56,339 90s with what you guys all said was your favorite. I'm going to go ahead and add because I'm a 304 00:28:56,339 --> 00:29:03,299 little bit younger, I think I'm only 42. So I'm going to catch the early 2000 in there too. Um, I 305 00:29:03,339 --> 00:29:09,219 kind of have two guys. I'm in a cover band that plays 90s and early 2000 covers, so if I didn't 306 00:29:09,219 --> 00:29:13,829 mention that and my bass player were to hear this episode, I'd have to have a conversation at 307 00:29:13,829 --> 00:29:20,509 practice and I don't want to go through that. So, um, essentially we're stretching 60 308 00:29:20,509 --> 00:29:25,109 years here in this podcast, when you look at the guys that are talking to you and what type of 309 00:29:25,109 --> 00:29:31,828 stuff they like. The 50s all the way to the 2000, that's a lot of music. And uh, as we sort of 310 00:29:31,870 --> 00:29:37,349 build out this playlist, guys, I've got a few specific questions about songs that you would 311 00:29:37,350 --> 00:29:43,829 choose for certain scenarios. So let's just break the ice with it here. And, uh, Rodney, I'll tell you, 312 00:29:43,870 --> 00:29:47,349 some of these might be a little tough for you since you're not a truck driver. So I just want 313 00:29:47,350 --> 00:29:53,908 you to channel Walter on these. Okay? Gotcha. Um, let's start out with Greg here. 314 00:29:53,949 --> 00:30:00,109 Greg, you've done this. You've done this a lot. Think about the last time you were sitting at a 315 00:30:00,110 --> 00:30:06,429 shipper or receiver for hours. Longer than you had planned to be there. Uh, maybe you're frustrated. 316 00:30:06,430 --> 00:30:12,599 Maybe you're tired. Maybe you're chewing, uh, your bottom lip off of your face. What's the best song 317 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:17,999 for sitting at a shipper or receiver when you've just got lag time? There's just nothing. Is there a 318 00:30:17,999 --> 00:30:23,519 song that bubbles up in your head when you think, I could use this right now, considering I'm on an 319 00:30:23,519 --> 00:30:30,239 open ended break and I'm not happy about it. There is so many that would, uh, just depends on the 320 00:30:30,279 --> 00:30:37,079 exact mood I was in. Uh, gosh, I just don't. I would honestly probably put my 321 00:30:37,119 --> 00:30:43,079 riding rock playlist in. Writing rock playlist. Okay, so who's what are some of the what are some 322 00:30:43,079 --> 00:30:49,680 of the, uh, the choice hits on that one? Okay, let me look, because this is when I'm riding the bike a 323 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:56,599 little more aggressive. Uh, or so they say. The stationary. Bike. Sure, 324 00:30:56,919 --> 00:31:03,919 sure, sure. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, what do they call that? Spin? Yeah, I'm in spin class. That's 325 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:10,529 what it is. Uh, let's see, I've got some, uh, let's see some Linkin Park shine down 326 00:31:10,730 --> 00:31:17,529 and it just goes, uh, you just get five finger Death Punch. Uh, Ruby dark rose. It's just. 327 00:31:17,689 --> 00:31:22,929 Those are. That's good. Yeah. It gets a little bit angry in there, I like it. Got some, got some fuel, 328 00:31:22,969 --> 00:31:28,489 got some fuel. Oh, and a Dropkick Murphys. You can't not play the Dropkick Murphys. Oh, I love it. I did 329 00:31:28,490 --> 00:31:33,849 not think anybody was going to pick any, any bands or anything from kind of my realm but the 330 00:31:33,849 --> 00:31:39,889 Dropkick Murphys all right down the middle for me, man, I one of the best concerts I've ever been to. 331 00:31:39,930 --> 00:31:45,489 Let me tell you a story about a Dropkick Murphy show. Uh, hearing Eugene probably ten years ago, I 332 00:31:45,489 --> 00:31:49,769 was there with a bunch of my college buddies. We were drinking like it was the end of the world. Um, 333 00:31:49,770 --> 00:31:56,169 there was another guy there, and he had a really thick Boston accent. He had a Boston Red Sox hat 334 00:31:56,170 --> 00:32:01,770 on. He had a New England Patriots shirt on. Everything about this guy said he was either from 335 00:32:01,770 --> 00:32:06,529 Boston or he used to live there or something, and he could not wait to see Dropkick Murphys in 336 00:32:06,530 --> 00:32:12,659 between every song from the opening bands. He would yell bring out dropkick! And he kind of had 337 00:32:12,660 --> 00:32:17,499 a little bit of Boston twang to him. I will tell you guys, this guy drank so much he vomited on 338 00:32:17,499 --> 00:32:22,498 himself and fell asleep before the Dropkick Murphys played and was removed from the concert. 339 00:32:22,780 --> 00:32:28,899 Uh, bad form all the way around. Just bad form. You can't do it. You gotta drink water until your band 340 00:32:28,939 --> 00:32:35,860 comes on. That's my recommendations for everybody. Uh, Walter, I want to come to you, 341 00:32:35,860 --> 00:32:40,619 man. We got a lot of good recommendations for bands. Uh, for sitting in a shipper and a receiver 342 00:32:40,620 --> 00:32:47,259 or a receiver longer than what? You think you should be there. You got any for us? I do, as a 343 00:32:47,260 --> 00:32:54,219 matter of fact, there ain't no one song comes to mind, and that's Johnny Paycheck. Take this job and 344 00:32:54,219 --> 00:33:01,059 shove it, huh? That's a good one. That's a good one, man, 345 00:33:01,060 --> 00:33:06,579 I like it. We're gonna get that one on the playlist for sure. Uh, and he's that. Just. Does that 346 00:33:06,579 --> 00:33:13,499 just kind of help you with the the feeling of of the frustration? Oh, yeah. And that, that, you know, 347 00:33:13,539 --> 00:33:19,379 the, you know, looking at the world through the windshield. Eddie Rabbit's driving my life away. 348 00:33:19,420 --> 00:33:26,139 You know. Amen to that. All right. Oh, my God. I love it, I love it. 349 00:33:26,379 --> 00:33:32,459 Rodney, let's put you in sort of the same thing. Uh, you're in the school pickup line, and they've just 350 00:33:32,460 --> 00:33:36,819 called you and said, sorry, you can't go anywhere, but your daughter's not going to be here for 351 00:33:36,820 --> 00:33:42,580 three hours. Um, what song are you putting on the playlist if that happens to you? Well, I can't tell 352 00:33:42,580 --> 00:33:47,339 you the song I put on that one, but let me go a different direction. Thinking about being a truck 353 00:33:47,339 --> 00:33:51,659 driver, or thinking about all the years in the military that I've had to hurry up and wait. And 354 00:33:51,660 --> 00:33:57,579 you're not going to believe this because it's a trucker song. I would listen to read Soul Vine 355 00:33:57,660 --> 00:34:04,539 Teddy Bear because even though I'm angry and upset, there's always something worse 356 00:34:04,540 --> 00:34:11,109 going on in the world, and I should be thankful to be waiting in that line. And that song was called 357 00:34:11,110 --> 00:34:16,149 Red Soul Vine. Is that what you said? No, it's written by Red Soul Vine, but the song is called 358 00:34:16,189 --> 00:34:20,590 Teddy Bear. Are red soul vine songs called Teddy Bear? Okay. I just want to make sure I got it right 359 00:34:20,590 --> 00:34:25,669 there for our playlist. That's a really good. See, that's what we get out of having somebody that's 360 00:34:25,669 --> 00:34:30,389 not a driver in here all the time. Is it a little bit of perspective from the outside? You would 361 00:34:30,389 --> 00:34:35,069 tell these truck drivers that might be very angry to listen to a song called Teddy Bear. And I think 362 00:34:35,070 --> 00:34:40,149 that says something right there. Rodney, you're you're in tune with your feelings, man. That's good. 363 00:34:40,189 --> 00:34:47,149 Yes, sir. Okay, so in other words, I got to change the Johnny Paycheck thing. No, I don't think 364 00:34:47,149 --> 00:34:53,109 so. I don't think so. We just have to. Hey, we seriously, we just have to realize that we don't 365 00:34:53,110 --> 00:34:56,830 know what's going on on the other side of the on the other side of the fence. And we just have to 366 00:34:56,830 --> 00:35:01,949 take our time and just be thankful to God that we have the time to sit and wait on it. Boy, I'll tell 367 00:35:01,949 --> 00:35:07,479 you, it's no wonder that a daughter with a dad like that wrote a song like let Let Me Be? I'll 368 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:14,039 tell you. I mean, you can tell that these, uh, this is a this is a kind of a philosophy you have on 369 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:19,159 life, and you're passing it down to your daughters. Man, that's really cool. Uh, great selection there. 370 00:35:19,199 --> 00:35:23,999 Yes, sir. Well, I can't say great selection, Rodney, yet, but I will listen to it. Just like I went and 371 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:29,999 listened to your daughter's song. I'm going to go listen to everything that comes up here. Um, now, I 372 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:36,959 kind of this one sort of goes with the same, uh, the same sort of feel. Okay. I also have a 373 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:43,280 question on here, Greg, that is best song for blowing off some steam. Now, it kind of sounds like 374 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:48,959 your your rock riding playlist is kind of your blow off some steam playlist, but I want to give 375 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:54,599 you a chance. Is there are there any artists or any songs that you can think of that when you're 376 00:35:54,600 --> 00:36:01,559 grinding your teeth out of your head? Um, this song is going to help bring you down a few pegs. I 377 00:36:01,559 --> 00:36:08,529 would say my go to if I'm really, uh, I don't know, really just out of it. 378 00:36:09,090 --> 00:36:16,009 I will listen to skillet awake and alive. Oh, that's such a good song. That is such a good song. 379 00:36:16,010 --> 00:36:21,849 I I'll tell you right now, I have a huge crush on their drummer. Uh, Jen Sturgis. I believe it's her 380 00:36:21,850 --> 00:36:28,409 name. Phenomenal voice. She's great on the kid. Jen Sigler. Yeah, yeah. There you go, man. Great. Great 381 00:36:28,409 --> 00:36:35,289 pick there, skillet a, uh, if I'm not mistaken, in English, uh, kind of hard rock band. Right. 382 00:36:35,290 --> 00:36:40,249 Those guys are from, uh, London, I think, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, great. I think so. They're Christian 383 00:36:40,249 --> 00:36:45,489 hard rock band too. Yep, yep. Christian band. Uh. Great pick. They're phenomenal harmonies. You want 384 00:36:45,489 --> 00:36:50,689 to talk about great harmonies between a man and a woman skill. It's got him. Uh, that song's going on 385 00:36:50,689 --> 00:36:57,249 the playlist, for sure. Uh, Walter, anything like that come to your mind? A song in specific that 386 00:36:57,249 --> 00:37:02,619 you just helps you kind of blow off the steam. You know, I think about it like a tea kettle. And this 387 00:37:02,620 --> 00:37:08,860 song is what allows the flap to open and all the steam to go away. Uh, what's on your mind, Walter? 388 00:37:08,860 --> 00:37:15,260 When I say that? Boy, there's so many. Hit me with it, man. I'll take more than 389 00:37:15,260 --> 00:37:22,059 one. Okay, well, um, one of them, we actually played that, actually, Rodney wrote. 390 00:37:22,100 --> 00:37:28,179 It's a song called Cajun style. Cajun style? I already. Like it. 391 00:37:28,860 --> 00:37:35,379 Cajun style? Yeah. Raging style. And we're cornered by Travis Tritt, 392 00:37:36,419 --> 00:37:43,179 where I kind of mellows me out a little bit. I like that, yeah. I mean, what a great country 393 00:37:43,179 --> 00:37:48,139 song where corn don't grow even the even the title, I mean, corn don't grow like it's. He even 394 00:37:48,139 --> 00:37:54,299 did that part of it, right. What a great song. And that was Travis Tritt. You said. Right. Travis Tritt, 395 00:37:54,340 --> 00:38:01,110 Travis Tritt. Okay. Anything else? Oh, Yeah. You're 396 00:38:01,110 --> 00:38:07,949 killing me. Yeah. It's okay. We can come back to it. Uh, better class of losers by Randy Travis. There 397 00:38:07,950 --> 00:38:12,908 you go. Now, I gotta tell you. Since you mentioned I already. I already mentioned Randy Travis name 398 00:38:12,909 --> 00:38:18,469 here, but I gotta bring this up. My uncle actually built a house for him over in Maui. Uh, my uncle's 399 00:38:18,469 --> 00:38:24,949 a contractor over in Maui. And, uh, built a house for Randy Travis back in the late 90s. And, uh, 400 00:38:24,990 --> 00:38:31,629 somewhere in my box of memorabilia. Someplace I have a shirtless, signed, uh, 401 00:38:31,629 --> 00:38:36,749 Coca-Cola advertisement with Randy Travis sitting there with, like, no shirt on, leaning up against 402 00:38:36,750 --> 00:38:43,549 the fence, holding a glass bottle of Coke. And it says, like to Marcus B. Well, from Randy Travis, it's 403 00:38:43,550 --> 00:38:48,629 somewhere, guys, but it's a keepsake for me because, uh, it was personalized and I got to see all sorts 404 00:38:48,629 --> 00:38:53,229 of pictures of the house and everything like that. Really cool stuff. But from what I understand, uh, 405 00:38:53,230 --> 00:38:58,360 Randy Travis was a great guy. Uh, treated my uncle really well. Wasn't that kind of stereotypical 406 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:04,679 Hollywood celebrity. And unfortunately, I've heard some stories, uh, as of late, before his health 407 00:39:04,679 --> 00:39:09,918 issues, that would make Randy Travis seem like a bad guy. But, uh, the second hand experience I have 408 00:39:09,959 --> 00:39:15,799 says no way. That's a good dude. So we love a Randy Travis song on the set list here. Walter, thank you 409 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:22,239 for, uh, for bringing that. Are there any more before we go to Rodney here for this one? Well, I 410 00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:29,120 will say a couple of years ago, we were at the North American Country Music Awards when Randy 411 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:35,520 Travis got inducted into that. I can call it into the yeah, yeah, Hall of Fame all the time. 412 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:41,799 Yeah. That's awesome. He was a great guy. Yeah. So good seeing. Yeah, I you never want to trust what 413 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:46,239 you hear on the internet. Okay. They would tell you that I'm, uh, wicked smart on the internet, and 414 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:51,799 that's a huge red flag. So don't trust what you hear on there. Uh, glad to hear that. You guys think 415 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:57,409 he's a good guy, too, Rodney? What songs? Uh, do it for you when it comes to blowing off some steam, 416 00:39:57,409 --> 00:40:03,329 man. Well, you know, I hate to be a sentimentalist, but I try to keep things. Really? You know, 417 00:40:04,529 --> 00:40:09,129 thinking about the good times of life that we're having, you know. And, uh, one of my songs from last 418 00:40:09,129 --> 00:40:15,689 year is my. My latest single was called In the Blink of an eye. And if you listen to the song, 419 00:40:15,730 --> 00:40:21,609 it's all about what we do for our kids. And you know how we do it. And you know, it's got a Vietnam 420 00:40:21,610 --> 00:40:26,369 veteran in it. And matter of fact, the video is on the YouTube under my name, same way McKenzie's is. 421 00:40:26,409 --> 00:40:31,929 But that one, you know, I hope that one kind of near and dear to my heart lately. I like it in the 422 00:40:31,929 --> 00:40:37,209 blink of an eye. All right. We'll get that on there. Yeah. And sorry for the short little bits of 423 00:40:37,209 --> 00:40:42,570 delays here, guys. It's just because I'm typing the songs out and I'm not a fast typer. Uh, so that's 424 00:40:42,610 --> 00:40:48,969 on me. But I appreciate you guys. Uh, uh, being patient with me. I'm gonna add one to this, um, 425 00:40:48,969 --> 00:40:55,939 because I music has always really helped me settle the heck down. I'll tell you, 426 00:40:55,980 --> 00:41:02,419 fellas, I've, um. I won't say that I struggled with anger problems as a younger guy, but I definitely 427 00:41:02,419 --> 00:41:08,459 had some anger issues that popped up every now and then, and it's always been good music that can 428 00:41:08,580 --> 00:41:14,379 can really sing me off the ledge, if you know what I'm saying. Um, definitely. Sometimes it takes a 429 00:41:14,379 --> 00:41:20,019 little crunch, sometimes it takes a little aggression. And in this case, I'm going with a song 430 00:41:20,020 --> 00:41:26,739 called Darwinism by Kubla Khan. Texas. Um, this is a metal band. They play a style of music called 431 00:41:26,780 --> 00:41:33,658 beat down, which is kind of an airy, open metal. Um, but the the opening lyric in this 432 00:41:33,659 --> 00:41:40,499 song is never was there ever less than enough of you. Um, and I'll tell you, 433 00:41:40,500 --> 00:41:46,819 that's what when I start to feel my, uh, my frustrations boil up with people, that type of 434 00:41:46,819 --> 00:41:52,949 line can really make me feel like I. You know what? I agree, and it's okay to feel that way and I can 435 00:41:52,949 --> 00:41:58,470 move forward with my day. So that one you guys are going to hear it on there, it's probably going to 436 00:41:58,470 --> 00:42:03,629 surprise you. Feel free to delete it off the playlist if it's too much. Um, and you know what 437 00:42:03,669 --> 00:42:09,669 guys? I can't believe I forgot this. I didn't come in with my best song for waiting at a shipper or 438 00:42:09,669 --> 00:42:16,229 receiver for hours on end, and I got a real, uh, just a real diamond in the rough for you guys 439 00:42:16,229 --> 00:42:22,229 here. I mentioned that I was a punk rocker my whole life. Um, I'm going with the decline by no 440 00:42:22,229 --> 00:42:27,509 effects. If I'm going to sit at a shipper receiver for hours on time that isn't 18, almost 19 minute 441 00:42:27,510 --> 00:42:32,988 punk rock song. And, uh, all you got to do is listen to that 3 or 4 times in a row, and all of a sudden 442 00:42:32,989 --> 00:42:38,070 you're getting the phone call, hey, it's time to come in here and take care of business. So, uh, that 443 00:42:38,070 --> 00:42:43,069 one will be on there, too. Feel free to skip it. Uh, I promise you, it's not 20 minutes of the same 444 00:42:43,070 --> 00:42:48,429 song. It's like six songs all in one. Uh, but they do run into each other. It's pretty impressive for 445 00:42:48,429 --> 00:42:55,228 a band known for writing 2.5 minute songs, uh, to throw down that. Actually, The Decline was an 446 00:42:55,229 --> 00:43:01,310 album and it only had one song on it, and it was The Decline. So there you go, fellas. I'm I'm in 447 00:43:01,310 --> 00:43:07,149 here as well. Let's let's switch away from picking songs here for a minute. And let me ask you 448 00:43:07,149 --> 00:43:12,509 something about, uh, just, just kind of hearing music in general. And, Walter, I'm going to start 449 00:43:12,509 --> 00:43:19,310 with you on this one since I started with Greg last time. Uh, is there a song or a 450 00:43:19,389 --> 00:43:25,949 or an artist, Walter, that was ruined for you because they got overplayed so much? 451 00:43:26,189 --> 00:43:31,149 This this isn't something that's nearly as bad as what it used to be, because there's so many 452 00:43:31,149 --> 00:43:35,709 different avenues for getting music and so many different avenues for getting your entertainment. 453 00:43:35,709 --> 00:43:41,709 But when I was a kid and gentleman, when we were all kids, the same songs were used in commercials, 454 00:43:41,709 --> 00:43:46,469 the same songs were used on the radio, the same songs were played at sporting events in high 455 00:43:46,469 --> 00:43:52,519 school dances and whatnot. And it you know, when I always hear about this stuff about Mariah Carey's 456 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:58,039 record on the top 40. The only reason Mariah Carey has a record on the top 40 is because nobody 457 00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:03,999 would stop playing it for ten years. It was the only song that any of us ever heard. So that's 458 00:44:03,999 --> 00:44:10,439 sort of the the mindset I want to get you guys into. Walter, talk to me about a band or a song 459 00:44:10,439 --> 00:44:17,439 that was completely ruined for you because they got so overplayed. Ah, man, I have I have 460 00:44:17,439 --> 00:44:24,399 to say the artist is Shania Twain. When she first came out, I was. I was crazy about that woman. 461 00:44:24,399 --> 00:44:30,998 But, man, I tell you, man, I feel like a woman. They just run that song in the ground. 462 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:36,120 Yeah. And it's got like. It's on, like it's third life cycle at this point, isn't it? Walter I mean 463 00:44:36,159 --> 00:44:40,080 haven't that. It's it comes and then it goes and then it comes and then it goes and it's back 464 00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:47,040 again right now. Yeah. And I say, oh my God, not that again. I mean, 465 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,969 whatever happened to a little. Whose bed is your boots been under? Right? Like, can't we get 466 00:44:50,970 --> 00:44:57,209 something other than Mary. Filling your boots? Yeah. No doubt, man, I feel like a woman. That's a good 467 00:44:57,210 --> 00:45:01,610 one, though. That is a good one. And period appropriate, I might ask, because we talked about 468 00:45:01,610 --> 00:45:08,249 how much we all enjoyed that 90s country. So, um. Man, really good one there. That 469 00:45:08,570 --> 00:45:15,529 that her, her and Madonna. You know, I think they just my sister, she was a she was a 470 00:45:15,530 --> 00:45:22,129 big Madonna fan. I think she had every album that Madonna ever came out with and good God, like they 471 00:45:22,169 --> 00:45:27,169 drove us all crazy with that. I will say, the advancements in medical, the advancements in 472 00:45:27,169 --> 00:45:32,090 medical technology that have kept Madonna relevant for all these years are really sort of 473 00:45:32,129 --> 00:45:36,649 mind blowing at this point in time. Didn't we just see her as like the World Cup or something like 474 00:45:36,649 --> 00:45:41,969 that, or was it a I, I can't remember, there was some big sporting event recently that Madonna was 475 00:45:41,969 --> 00:45:47,540 performing at and I was like, what did we did we time travel back to the 80s. What's going on here? 476 00:45:47,580 --> 00:45:53,378 And how. Is. Exactly, exactly. I expected she would be in a walker by this time. And she's out there 477 00:45:53,379 --> 00:45:59,139 in leather pants doing high kicks. I don't know, uh, I can agree with you. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Shania Twain, 478 00:45:59,139 --> 00:46:05,819 Madonna. Her torpedoes on her chest. Yes. Very much overplayed there, though. Great. Uh, 479 00:46:05,820 --> 00:46:11,459 great selections for you, Walter. Uh, Greg, how about you, man? Uh, you you like to listen to it all? 480 00:46:11,459 --> 00:46:15,459 You've already told us that. So this might be something that's kind of near and dear to you. 481 00:46:15,460 --> 00:46:20,579 Because if you are listening to the radio, uh, nobody can overplay a hit like the radio, man. So, 482 00:46:20,580 --> 00:46:24,899 what do you think? Is there a band or a song that got ruined for you because you heard it too much? 483 00:46:25,100 --> 00:46:31,739 Well, there was an artist, and it was mainly before the internet and anything when you had to buy a 484 00:46:32,100 --> 00:46:38,139 the Greatest hits album or something, it was Blondie. She was on every freaking 80s greatest 485 00:46:38,139 --> 00:46:43,979 hits. I was like. Yeah, they couldn't put anybody else in it. And in today, 486 00:46:44,469 --> 00:46:51,109 Like Ella Langley if she chooses. If he chooses Texas one more time on one of my 487 00:46:51,110 --> 00:46:57,708 trainees, I'm. And you just said that sitting right next to your trainee, didn't you? Greg? 488 00:46:57,750 --> 00:47:03,349 Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You know, he knows how I feel about it. 489 00:47:04,510 --> 00:47:10,070 That one is. I mean, listen, it's a good song. I, I can't, I can't take it away from her. I think she 490 00:47:10,070 --> 00:47:16,909 wrote a good song there, but it is. It is overplayed, man. I can agree. Man. Yeah. 491 00:47:17,110 --> 00:47:22,429 And I gotta be careful too, because my mom really likes that song, and, uh, and and I don't blame her 492 00:47:22,429 --> 00:47:27,989 for it. It's a good song, but good Lord, put something else on. And to follow up on what Walter 493 00:47:27,989 --> 00:47:33,549 said, you had to have Madonna stuff in the 80s because that's what all the girls want to listen 494 00:47:33,550 --> 00:47:40,309 to. Yeah. So you. Gotta, you. Know, you gotta cater to your to your crowd. Yep. And you think Taylor 495 00:47:40,310 --> 00:47:46,039 Swift is as popular? Meatloaf. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I would do anything for love, man. I mean, come on. Paradise 496 00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:52,879 by the dashboard light, am I right? Yep, that's the one. It's one of the things, Greg, that you touch 497 00:47:52,879 --> 00:47:58,999 on there that makes my ears perk up a little bit. Is it? Is that why Taylor Swift is as popular as 498 00:47:58,999 --> 00:48:05,560 she is? Is because not only does every every woman have kind of that that, you know, 20 to 40 age 499 00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:12,240 group love it. But also every guy in that 20 to 40 age group has to have it on the playlist because 500 00:48:12,240 --> 00:48:17,719 that's what he knows. He's going to have to play if he's trying to, uh, to to win a girl's heart. I 501 00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:23,679 don't know about Taylor Swift because, you know. Didn't didn't we didn't like something a while 502 00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:30,519 ago about auto tune. Yeah. We mentioned something a while ago about Auto-Tune. We certainly did. 503 00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:36,879 But, I mean, she's she's doing it, man. She's like, she's got the fans, she's got everything. But I'm 504 00:48:36,879 --> 00:48:43,449 just not a not a huge fan. Boy, you are a boy. trainer. He's going to be mad because he's a he's 505 00:48:43,449 --> 00:48:49,049 a swifty. Oh, I mean, I'm not. You'll be lucky to make it out of that truck alive after what you 506 00:48:49,050 --> 00:48:54,488 just said. I mean, are those Swifties? Taylor. Mercy. We're driving it to a tree now. It's okay. 507 00:48:58,370 --> 00:49:04,090 Yeah, I just I don't know. You know, she. She's done well for herself. I can say that. Yep. She has 508 00:49:04,090 --> 00:49:10,009 married herself. A tight end, uh, from the Kansas City Chiefs. Uh, they're those two. Uh, you're going 509 00:49:10,010 --> 00:49:15,289 to be here in the Swift and Kelce name for a long time. Only because between the two of them, they 510 00:49:15,290 --> 00:49:21,010 have amassed so much generational wealth that they will definitely have nepotism babies. So just 511 00:49:21,010 --> 00:49:26,729 look for that in the next 20 or 30 years. The next generation is coming. We just haven't seen it yet. 512 00:49:27,010 --> 00:49:32,609 Um, okay. I just wonder, did he take her last name? Well, probably. I mean, you've seen the way he's 513 00:49:32,610 --> 00:49:38,769 been dressing ever since he met her. I mean. Yeah. Right. I mean, yeah. I don't know, I, I used. To think 514 00:49:38,769 --> 00:49:43,699 I'm funny right there. I don't care who you are. You'd expect to see that guy in gym shorts and 515 00:49:43,699 --> 00:49:47,459 cleats hanging over his shoulder. The last time I saw him, it looked like he was going to Paris 516 00:49:47,459 --> 00:49:54,219 Fashion Fest, so I don't know. I'm. I think the NFL career is on the decline. Who knows, maybe he's 517 00:49:54,220 --> 00:49:59,459 just arm candy at this point, but heck of a pick. If you have to be arm candy to anyone, let it be 518 00:49:59,460 --> 00:50:05,179 the billionaire with all of her own planes and everything, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I knew we were 519 00:50:05,179 --> 00:50:09,339 going to end up talking about Taylor Swift and I. It wasn't my. I didn't think I would be the one 520 00:50:09,340 --> 00:50:15,859 that brought it up, but that's what happens. That's glad it was you guys. Yeah. Yeah, I, I think I kind 521 00:50:15,860 --> 00:50:20,859 of thought it was going to be you, Marcus, but I wouldn't say anything. Yeah, I, I, I can, I can take 522 00:50:20,860 --> 00:50:27,019 that, Greg. I can take that. I can live with that I understand it. Uh, Rodney, I'll go to you, man. You 523 00:50:27,019 --> 00:50:31,819 got anybody on your mind that just got ruined because they got played too much? Well, I gotta 524 00:50:31,820 --> 00:50:36,179 agree with you. You know, the reason people get played so much is because people push them and 525 00:50:36,179 --> 00:50:40,789 they pay you to get their stuff played a lot. and the ones that stick out in my mind and I, you know, 526 00:50:40,830 --> 00:50:45,429 just out there. Jelly Rose first song every time you turn on the radio was on there. I can't 527 00:50:45,429 --> 00:50:51,470 remember the name of the song. And the other one was, uh, Morgan Wallen. I liked the song til I found 528 00:50:51,470 --> 00:50:58,029 out who sang it. It was, uh. And I thought you should know. Okay. And that's another one that just 529 00:50:58,029 --> 00:51:03,188 played around the clock on every station, just over and over and over. And it finally got burned 530 00:51:03,189 --> 00:51:06,709 into my. And then we started playing shows and people were like, you know, we didn't we don't play 531 00:51:06,710 --> 00:51:12,829 a whole lot of new country like, unless there's one we like. I like Cody Johnson stuff, but, um, yeah, 532 00:51:12,870 --> 00:51:17,509 I'd have somebody say, hey, please, I'm Morgan Wallen. I'm like, um, okay. I turn on the phone and 533 00:51:17,509 --> 00:51:24,509 put a song on. Is that good enough? Yes, sir. Thank you. 534 00:51:24,709 --> 00:51:29,269 Nobody else is running the stage when Rodney's on it. All right. That's what I. That's a man that 535 00:51:29,269 --> 00:51:35,669 knows how to control a room right there. I like it, I like it. When I play Freebird. 536 00:51:36,949 --> 00:51:43,829 Which finger do you show him? All right, let's get to a 537 00:51:43,830 --> 00:51:50,749 couple more songs. Um, this one will be fun. Okay. And I'll start out here. I'll be the guy. 538 00:51:51,029 --> 00:51:56,149 Uh, that kind of puts his name out on the, uh, I guess on the chopping block here for you guys to 539 00:51:56,189 --> 00:52:03,069 make fun of. If you want to, um, song that you're embarrassed to admit that you really like. 540 00:52:03,229 --> 00:52:10,148 And you guys, I want you to know that I'm risking my musical credibility here, 541 00:52:10,190 --> 00:52:16,309 okay? I'm a pawn. I have a yellow card shirt on right now. I am, I, I am, you know, I'm going to band 542 00:52:16,310 --> 00:52:21,749 practice later. I have a show this week where we will play three hours of nothing but pop punk. And 543 00:52:21,749 --> 00:52:27,790 I'm about to tell you guys, I am so embarrassed that I really like the the song Fight Song by 544 00:52:27,790 --> 00:52:34,109 Rachel Platten. Um, I don't know what it is about it. When I hear that piano come in and she sings 545 00:52:34,110 --> 00:52:39,879 that first line like a small boat in the ocean, I. It's something about it, man. The first time I 546 00:52:39,879 --> 00:52:45,839 heard that song, it made me cry. And I really enjoy that song now. So I'll admit it. The guy that told 547 00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:50,879 you he would listen to an 18 minute no effect song back to back while waiting, is very 548 00:52:50,879 --> 00:52:57,599 embarrassed to also admit that he likes Fight Song by Rachel Platten. Um, Greg, we just talked to 549 00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:02,599 you about, uh, you know, your Taylor Swift in the in the cab there, but you're going to have to admit a 550 00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:09,599 song that you are embarrassed that you like. Now that he's listening. He's really not a sweetie. 551 00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:14,679 Uh, he's more of a Miley Cyrus guy, but, uh, no, uh, I don't. 552 00:53:17,159 --> 00:53:23,879 Uh, I don't know that I'm really. I mean, you can grab my phone. I like all music. 553 00:53:23,919 --> 00:53:30,639 Uh, I guess one of the the ones that I really like, and I don't I don't 554 00:53:30,639 --> 00:53:36,449 really listen around. It's, uh. I don't know the artist and you guys may be able to help. It's 555 00:53:36,449 --> 00:53:41,769 honest, as I have loved you for 10,000 years and I love you for 10,000 more. Uh, I, I can't think of 556 00:53:41,770 --> 00:53:47,849 the female artist saying it. It's just my mind is drawing a blank. And is that one that you would 557 00:53:47,850 --> 00:53:54,209 only play around your spouse? No, I chose that's the one. I only play around myself. Just like if 558 00:53:54,209 --> 00:54:00,649 I'm like, yeah, that's that's a good way to get rid of it. Sounds like, well, I don't know, maybe I'll 559 00:54:00,649 --> 00:54:06,730 buy another motorcycle. I'll put that on the back burner. Okay. See, that's exactly what I was trying 560 00:54:06,730 --> 00:54:11,489 to get to is like, no, I won't even play that for my spouse. And I'll admit it to you. The first time 561 00:54:11,489 --> 00:54:18,049 my wife walked in and I was rocking out to Rachel Platt, and she looked at me funny. Very funny. Okay, 562 00:54:18,090 --> 00:54:24,169 here's the look I haven't seen, uh, very many times, so I get it a little bit embarrassing, but, uh uh, 563 00:54:24,169 --> 00:54:28,168 we'll have to look up that song, get that title for you. I'll see what I can do in the meantime. Uh, 564 00:54:28,169 --> 00:54:34,899 Walter, you got a song that, uh, you're a little bit embarrassed to admit that you like me. Not 565 00:54:34,899 --> 00:54:41,819 really, because I. You know, everything I listen to, I like, uh, I've heard 566 00:54:41,820 --> 00:54:48,658 this playlist. So maybe we should ask Rodney about a song you should be embarrassed 567 00:54:48,659 --> 00:54:55,658 about. Is that what? Is that what I hear? Maybe I might not be the way to go. Are you, like, the star 568 00:54:55,659 --> 00:55:01,219 of your show with Like a Virgin? Oh, Virgin. No no. No. 569 00:55:03,179 --> 00:55:10,139 Then that bring things back. Oh my God. Actually, that's the song that Greg plays 570 00:55:10,139 --> 00:55:16,019 for his trainees. First off, right when they get into the truck, that's the one, right, Greg? Oh my 571 00:55:16,020 --> 00:55:22,939 God. Yeah. No, not the first day. I don't want to quit. I'll just. I'll just throw it in 572 00:55:22,940 --> 00:55:29,378 right here. Man. Yeah, I'll just throw this out here and I won't throw in the name of the song, but 573 00:55:29,379 --> 00:55:35,149 it's written by Rodney Carrington. So there you go. Ah. Okay, I think I know exactly what song you're 574 00:55:35,149 --> 00:55:42,070 talking about there. Um. Clean that one up. Yeah, I, I, I think it's actually, I think I can say 575 00:55:42,070 --> 00:55:47,229 the title of it. Um, but I, I'm going to go ahead and not just because I don't want to have to have 576 00:55:47,229 --> 00:55:53,189 a meeting later by somebody, but it's Rodney Carrington's most popular song, right? It's the one. 577 00:55:53,189 --> 00:56:00,189 It's the one we're all thinking about. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I gotta change my answer. I just found 578 00:56:00,189 --> 00:56:07,189 my worst song. Okay. What's that? The Bee gees, the Bee gees, stayin alive. Ah, yeah. That's okay. God. 579 00:56:07,549 --> 00:56:12,069 That's okay. Stayin alive, man. I mean, if you're gonna do it, you got. You got to own it, you know 580 00:56:12,070 --> 00:56:16,149 what I mean? Just walk down there, turn me on like that's it. And and you have to. If you're going to 581 00:56:16,189 --> 00:56:21,589 listen to that song and be walking, you have to walk at the BPM of that song. Just like the music 582 00:56:21,590 --> 00:56:28,470 video. Right? Put on the white pants. Yep. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. That's that's 583 00:56:28,470 --> 00:56:33,239 all we wear. I mean, we wear that kind of outfit. It's really. Cool. I love it, man. This playlist is 584 00:56:33,240 --> 00:56:39,240 getting phenomenal as we go here. Um, the Rodney King. You know what? Fun story about Rodney 585 00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:44,159 Carrington. I actually got to introduce him at a sold out show here in Eugene. Uh, for the radio 586 00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:49,320 station I used to work for my mom, and my sister came to that show because, uh, they wanted to see 587 00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:54,719 his set, and, uh. No joke. The dude came to me after the show and said, hey, that was a great 588 00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:59,039 introduction. I really appreciate it. You want to bring your mom and sister back, and I can show you 589 00:56:59,039 --> 00:57:03,479 guys the tour bus, and we can take some pictures, and I can sign some autographs or whatever. Took 590 00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:10,239 me on to his marathon tour bus. Just some random radio kid in Eugene, Oregon. Super nice guy. I will 591 00:57:10,240 --> 00:57:14,999 tell you that right now. If you are a Rodney Carrington fan, know that he is a very hospitable 592 00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:19,319 gentleman. Uh, that was a really cool experience, something that my mom and sister and I got to 593 00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:24,559 share. So, uh, huge Rodney Carrington fan here on this side of the microphone. Guys, I love that he 594 00:57:24,559 --> 00:57:31,008 got brought up. Oh, yes. Me too. I love that he. Is actually. Good. He's actually doing a show in 595 00:57:31,009 --> 00:57:36,248 Marion, Illinois this Friday. Are you going to catch it? Of course I would love to. I would love 596 00:57:36,249 --> 00:57:41,569 to, but I don't know. I don't know if I'd be able to catch it. Well, if. You do, I would definitely 597 00:57:41,570 --> 00:57:47,168 love to. He was also really good friends with Toby Keith. Yes. Yeah. And then Toby Keith were close. 598 00:57:47,209 --> 00:57:54,009 They were buds. Yep. R.I.P. you know Marcus. What's that? Go ahead. We opened for 599 00:57:54,010 --> 00:58:00,809 him a few years ago. And where? We played at the venue in Evansville, Indiana. You weren't allowed 600 00:58:00,809 --> 00:58:06,489 to have food before we ate and all that. He made sure that we had food before his band ate. We had 601 00:58:06,489 --> 00:58:11,009 steak and shrimp. He brought out cases of beer. I don't think anybody in the band drank at that 602 00:58:11,010 --> 00:58:15,688 point, but, I mean, and he stood in the doorway and watched us. You know, of course, my name being 603 00:58:15,689 --> 00:58:19,649 Rodney, what's his name being Rodney Carrington. I was out there getting him ready for him. I was 604 00:58:19,649 --> 00:58:24,530 like, yeah, I want to hear he's chanting Rodney. Rodney! And I said a few bad words and, you know, 605 00:58:24,569 --> 00:58:28,620 making fun of me, be making a joke. And I saw him standing there. And then I saw him. He just started 606 00:58:28,620 --> 00:58:35,619 flipping me off from the doorway. Uh. That's great. That's great guy. He's got a beard. He's 607 00:58:35,620 --> 00:58:40,859 got a beautiful voice. He does. He's, you know, for being kind of a comedy guy, you would not expect 608 00:58:40,860 --> 00:58:47,859 the pipes that that guy has. Yes. Great stuff. All right, fellas, uh, how about this one? I'll 609 00:58:47,860 --> 00:58:53,379 tell you. I'll set you up here for this by telling you my story. Because I think it might, uh, pull a 610 00:58:53,379 --> 00:58:58,699 few strings with you guys and get the, uh, kind of get the mind moving for this next one. And, uh, this 611 00:58:58,699 --> 00:59:04,419 is probably gonna be the last one that we do here. So think hard on this one. What I want for me here 612 00:59:04,419 --> 00:59:11,299 is your favorite song associated with a memory. And the reason I put this on the list is because 613 00:59:11,580 --> 00:59:18,059 I. I'm not. I like I like LED Zeppelin, okay? Just like any other rocker. Uh, there's, there's 614 00:59:18,060 --> 00:59:24,110 inspiration that you have to attribute to LED Zeppelin. There are songs that you maybe like that. 615 00:59:24,110 --> 00:59:31,110 You didn't even know that LED Zeppelin wrote. Um, but the day after I got married, uh, we all stayed. 616 00:59:31,110 --> 00:59:36,510 The whole wedding party. Stayed in a big lodge out on the golf course we got married on. And I was 617 00:59:36,510 --> 00:59:42,949 the last person to, uh, load up my car and drive away from this lodge in this beautiful Pacific 618 00:59:42,949 --> 00:59:47,670 Northwest setting. And I just kind of instinctively reached down and turned on the 619 00:59:47,670 --> 00:59:53,550 radio to the station that I worked at at the time. And as I was pulling out of the driveway, fellows 620 00:59:53,550 --> 00:59:59,389 Stairway to Heaven started playing by LED Zeppelin. And as I'm driving away as a newly 621 00:59:59,389 --> 01:00:05,109 married man looking at the venue, that just changed my life in the background, listening to a 622 01:00:05,109 --> 01:00:11,269 song like stairway to Heaven really took me someplace. And it's hard to describe, but for the 623 01:00:11,269 --> 01:00:17,709 rest of my life, I will remember looking in the rearview mirror at that lodge as it shrunk away 624 01:00:17,710 --> 01:00:23,159 in the distance and listening to the song stairway to Heaven as I began my new life with my 625 01:00:23,159 --> 01:00:29,438 wife. Um, who? Guys, I'm punching so far out of my league, so it's a very. It was a very big deal for 626 01:00:29,439 --> 01:00:35,039 me, uh, to kind of have that at the culmination of the entire wedding weekend. So that's the type of 627 01:00:35,079 --> 01:00:41,198 song I'm looking for. You hear the song that you most associate with a memory? Uh, of course, 628 01:00:41,199 --> 01:00:46,039 stairway to Heaven is going on the list, whether you guys like it or not. I know it's kind of, uh, 629 01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:51,639 you know, that's low hanging fruit, but it's going on there. So, uh, Walter will start here with you on 630 01:00:51,639 --> 01:00:58,559 this one. Favorite song associated with a memory? Well, I think my favorite song 631 01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:05,439 associated with a memory was have had to do with a, uh, a girl that I was madly in love with 632 01:01:05,439 --> 01:01:12,399 whenever I was a teenager. And it was a song by little River band called We Too. We 633 01:01:12,399 --> 01:01:19,000 too. We too is the name of the song gotcha. But yeah, that was, uh. That's 634 01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:24,399 probably. I listened to that song over and over again. But the funny thing about it was, it didn't 635 01:01:24,399 --> 01:01:31,238 happen till we broke up. Of course, of course. Uh, little River band. That's a that's a that's a good 636 01:01:31,239 --> 01:01:36,439 pull there. I, you know, I hadn't expected to get any little river band on it here, but I just 637 01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:41,079 watched one of my favorite comedy films. Uh, recently, it's been about a couple of weeks ago, I 638 01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:47,879 watched the other guys again with, uh, Will Ferrell and, uh, Mark Wahlberg and, uh, you know. Yeah, it's 639 01:01:47,879 --> 01:01:53,159 kind of a. It's a buddy cop movie, and they're supposed to be going out to, uh, solve some crimes. 640 01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:58,640 You know, they're detectives and Will Ferrell puts on little River band. Um, and it's just such a 641 01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:03,159 great break because you're expecting, you know, high octane music and everything. No little river 642 01:02:03,159 --> 01:02:09,199 band. We're cruising. Uh. Love it. Love it. Great selection there. Uh, Greg, how about you, man? 643 01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:15,079 Favorite song associated with the memory? You got anything for me here? Little surfer girl by the 644 01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:21,208 beach boy. Little surfer girl. Okay, tell us about the So tell us about the memory. 645 01:02:22,450 --> 01:02:28,770 Well, it's kind of self-explanatory. It just it brings back a lot of, uh, high school 646 01:02:28,770 --> 01:02:35,529 memories. Uh, sitting down, sitting down there on the beach, gawking. And women. Huh? Yeah. Yeah. Well, 647 01:02:35,529 --> 01:02:41,729 yeah. I mean, yeah, yeah, I got a whole different story, a subject on that, but, yeah, I mean, it just 648 01:02:41,729 --> 01:02:47,089 takes me back. Back there. Yeah. It's the same. I mean, that's what LED Zeppelin does for me now. And 649 01:02:47,089 --> 01:02:51,248 that's funny, because stairway to Heaven is associated with so many things. You know, even just 650 01:02:51,249 --> 01:02:55,289 the Wayne world or the Wayne's World. Quote. No stairway to heaven. Look at the sign. You know, 651 01:02:55,329 --> 01:03:00,889 there's so many different things, but that's mine. And that one is only me. I was in the car by 652 01:03:00,889 --> 01:03:05,129 myself, and so I get to have that one. I think that's really cool when you have something like 653 01:03:05,129 --> 01:03:11,450 that. Um, Rodney, you're the last one, man. Uh, what do you want to add to this playlist? Favorite song 654 01:03:11,450 --> 01:03:17,820 associated with a memory for you? Well, I gotta say, this memory goes on and on and on. Um, the artist 655 01:03:17,820 --> 01:03:24,818 was Kenny Chesney, and it was the song you had me from. Hello. That's a good one. And the story behind 656 01:03:24,819 --> 01:03:30,299 that is, uh, the day that I met my wife, we actually met in Walmart, and I was trying to introduce her 657 01:03:30,299 --> 01:03:35,339 to my little brother who was in the store with me. I was trying to find out some stuff, but anyway, um, 658 01:03:35,700 --> 01:03:41,780 from that day on, she started coming to my shows, uh, just unexpectedly, at one of my shows. And that 659 01:03:41,780 --> 01:03:46,619 was one of the songs. And from that point on, I sang that to her every time I'd see her at a show. 660 01:03:46,780 --> 01:03:52,299 And then we got married and I had the microphone in my pocket. I sang that at our wedding. Oh, wow. 661 01:03:52,379 --> 01:03:57,819 Well, I ended up I ended up opening for Kenny Chesney and getting to sing You Had Me From. Hello. 662 01:03:58,019 --> 01:04:04,859 Wow, what a cool story. That's so awesome. Yeah, yeah. So that song is going to stick with me forever. 663 01:04:05,099 --> 01:04:09,259 You just probably just about melted your wife into a puddle up there on stage with Kenny 664 01:04:09,259 --> 01:04:14,020 Chesney singing that song, didn't you? Well, and I'm not trying to be funny, but she said Kenny Chesney 665 01:04:14,020 --> 01:04:18,429 was her favorite artist growing up, and she used to go out and try to win those free tickets all 666 01:04:18,429 --> 01:04:23,389 the time. And then when she actually met him, you know, she was taller than Kenny Chesney. So she was 667 01:04:23,389 --> 01:04:27,749 like, well, I don't need Kenny Chesney anymore. I got you to sing these songs for me. And it was 668 01:04:27,749 --> 01:04:33,709 funny because I think, I think I cried more than she did. Yeah, I can see that, man. Us musicians are 669 01:04:33,710 --> 01:04:38,629 an emotional bunch. That's why we play instruments, right? That's the thing you gotta. Sorry. You get it 670 01:04:38,629 --> 01:04:43,629 out. So, fellas, this has been awesome, man. I really appreciate you guys coming on here and having 671 01:04:43,629 --> 01:04:48,789 this conversation with me. It's been a lot of fun.

Um, I want to get a final thought segment out of you guys real quick here. 673 01:04:54,629 --> 01:04:59,389 Uh, we've got maybe 4 or 5 minutes that we can use. So if there's any other songs you want added to 674 01:04:59,389 --> 01:05:04,469 the playlist, let me know here during Final Thoughts.

We'll get this playlist up for everybody 676 01:05:09,149 --> 01:05:15,319 listening ASAP. Uh, Greg Sigler, always a pleasure, my friend. Uh, we almost didn't get you today, but 677 01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:19,600 you pulled some strings and made it work. We greatly appreciate that, man. Can't thank you 678 01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:26,040 enough. Uh, final thoughts from you before we let you go today, Greg. Well, uh, I would add, uh, throttle 679 01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:31,919 therapy. Ruby dark on the playlist. Okay, that doesn't get you motivated on a Monday morning. I 680 01:05:31,919 --> 01:05:38,159 don't know what would. And. And who was that by again? Yeah, it's Ruby, dark rose. Okay, Ruby. Dark 681 01:05:38,159 --> 01:05:43,039 rose. Got it. Yeah, I had to. I had to look it up, too. It's it's a really it's one of the favorites to 682 01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:49,919 ride with. But, I mean, I really have a lot of respect for all musicians, uh, any 683 01:05:49,919 --> 01:05:56,119 type of music. Just anything that's like your mind off of things, you know, will work. My favorite 684 01:05:56,239 --> 01:06:03,119 musicians to be around, and I don't really like the music is bluegrass because those guys have so 685 01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:09,839 much fricking talent. Yeah, they do. And I was just blown away by. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I just they 686 01:06:09,839 --> 01:06:15,089 they do stuff that I've, I've my fingers just getting hoarded enough trying it. So, uh. But, yeah, 687 01:06:15,129 --> 01:06:20,609 just everybody's got their own taste of music. That's why we're not all listening to one type 688 01:06:20,609 --> 01:06:26,209 and one person. There's no wrong answer. So yeah, everybody just enjoy. Everybody just enjoy what 689 01:06:26,209 --> 01:06:31,649 they're doing. And, uh, it'll make everybody make it a happier place. I'll tell you, whenever I hear 690 01:06:31,649 --> 01:06:36,329 bluegrass band, I'm always looking at the guy with the banjo. That's a guitar with a drum head on it, 691 01:06:36,329 --> 01:06:43,169 and it doesn't make sense to me. No, no. Good stuff though. Greg. 692 01:06:43,169 --> 01:06:48,329 Really appreciate it, man. Great stuff from you, as always. We'll get you on here again soon. Uh, Walter, 693 01:06:48,370 --> 01:06:53,409 going to you for your final thoughts here. Uh, Walter Anderson also joining us today. He was the 694 01:06:53,409 --> 01:06:57,729 one that hooked us up with Rodney. Uh, want to thank you very much for that. And I'm going to go 695 01:06:57,770 --> 01:07:04,249 ahead and put McKenzie's song. Uh, let me be in here, uh, under songs, uh, for a good cry. We didn't 696 01:07:04,249 --> 01:07:09,369 get to that one today, but I know that that song belongs there. Uh, Walter, final thoughts for you 697 01:07:09,369 --> 01:07:16,339 before we let you go, my friend. Well, I, you know, I'm much like Rodney. I'm big on, uh, you 698 01:07:16,340 --> 01:07:22,539 know, as far as veteran stuff goes, because I served myself. Rodney, he he's got me by several 699 01:07:22,540 --> 01:07:29,379 years, 21 years active duty. Um, I only did eight, but I think. And, Rodney, 700 01:07:29,379 --> 01:07:36,059 not to toot your horn or anything, but the vet is another good song. And that's also by Rodney Watts. 701 01:07:36,419 --> 01:07:42,299 Okay. Thank you. I nothing but appreciation for veterans. 702 01:07:42,860 --> 01:07:49,339 Um, and just all I got to say, Marcus, is keep your eyes and ears open, because McKenzie's 703 01:07:49,339 --> 01:07:55,379 comin. I can tell. Amen. She's going to be winning awards, and, uh, we'll see her. Somebody's got to 704 01:07:55,379 --> 01:08:00,739 dethrone Langley, and it might as well be McKenzie, right? Amen. 705 01:08:01,700 --> 01:08:08,499 McKenzie McKenzie sings one a Taylor Swift songs, the one called Best Day and I've Heard it 706 01:08:08,499 --> 01:08:14,349 by Taylor Swift, and I'd rather listen to Mackenzie sing. And to be honest with you. She does 707 01:08:14,350 --> 01:08:18,389 a better job. That makes at least three of us in here. And I'll go ahead and speak for Greg and 708 01:08:18,390 --> 01:08:25,150 just call it for. Okay? Okay. All right. All right. Walter. Great 709 01:08:25,150 --> 01:08:30,269 stuff here, man. Really appreciate the time today. And, uh, also, Rodney Watts, want to give you a 710 01:08:30,270 --> 01:08:35,390 chance to, uh, come on here and give us your final thoughts. Of course. The father of, uh, Mackenzie 711 01:08:35,430 --> 01:08:41,109 Watts, who we're just speaking of. Go check out her song. Uh, let me be on YouTube. You can also check 712 01:08:41,109 --> 01:08:45,350 out Rodney Watts and the Soldier's Pride. We've got a few songs from them that are going to end 713 01:08:45,350 --> 01:08:50,709 up on this playlist. Uh, Rodney, it's a great pleasure to talk to you today. Thank you so much 714 01:08:50,709 --> 01:08:55,589 for the time, man. You came on a random podcast because some dude, uh, called you and asked you to. 715 01:08:55,630 --> 01:08:59,950 It means a lot to us here at Always Pneumatic, never static, my friend. Final thoughts from you 716 01:08:59,950 --> 01:09:04,068 before we let you go today. Hey, first of all, Mark, I just want to say thank you for having us and 717 01:09:04,069 --> 01:09:09,599 actually consider us to be on your on your podcast. Um, Mackenzie is a lot of my life, and 718 01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:13,399 we're going to push her that we can't push her anymore. I'm getting teary eyed right now, but 719 01:09:13,399 --> 01:09:18,160 anyway, she's going to be on TV tomorrow and releasing a new song that she wrote about all the 720 01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:24,240 princesses and Disney. She took all their all their favors and she came home and at the end of 721 01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:30,359 the day, she made the name of the song was Just Want to Be Me. So she took everything from the the 722 01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:36,359 Disney character princesses. And now we changed our video to it's going to be a little girl in a 723 01:09:36,359 --> 01:09:41,879 in a barn, on a picnic table with a towel on her back. Instead of using the Disney cartoons that we 724 01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:47,199 had planned originally to use because she said, daddy, what about the little girls that will never 725 01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:53,080 see Disney? What about the little girls that I never meet? The princess? Wow. So that being said, I 726 01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:57,359 just I just want to say thank you so much for having us. And, uh, uh, she'll be here if you ever 727 01:09:57,360 --> 01:10:02,680 want to talk to. She has Facebook. Um, of course, I watch over her Facebook. So she has a Facebook and 728 01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:09,169 she has YouTube. So just get a chance. Check us out for anybody you notice here. Thank you so much 729 01:10:09,170 --> 01:10:15,089 Rodney. We really appreciate it. Great stuff man. And we'll be looking for McKenzie's, uh, rise to 730 01:10:15,129 --> 01:10:20,449 fame here soon. And we'll also be checking out your brand, uh, yours and Walter's band. I should 731 01:10:20,449 --> 01:10:26,410 say, once again, Rodney Watson's soldier's pride. Correct. Thank you so much. God bless us. Thank you 732 01:10:26,410 --> 01:10:30,370 guys. Greg. Walter. Rodney, it's been a pleasure today. You guys be safe out there. We'll talk to 733 01:10:30,370 --> 01:10:33,689 you soon, okay? All right. Look forward to it. 734 01:10:41,170 --> 01:10:47,329 Huge thanks to Greg Sigler, Walter Anderson and Rodney Watts for joining us here on that, uh, 735 01:10:47,329 --> 01:10:53,930 really fun segment where we got to talk about music that moves us, uh, music that we make and the 736 01:10:53,930 --> 01:11:00,809 music that we enjoy to listen to. You know, I had a couple other, um, I guess, categories for songs that 737 01:11:00,809 --> 01:11:07,689 I didn't get to. And what I'm thinking is I want you guys to use these as, um, filling 738 01:11:07,689 --> 01:11:12,329 out the playlist. Like when you're thinking about what song you want to add to it. Here's a couple 739 01:11:12,370 --> 01:11:17,529 examples of questions I didn't get to that you can use if you want to. We didn't talk about the 740 01:11:17,529 --> 01:11:24,289 best song for your last load before home time. What's that one got to be like? I mean, talk about 741 01:11:24,289 --> 01:11:29,849 road trip songs, right? You're about to wrap it up for the week. You know that the that the next time 742 01:11:29,850 --> 01:11:36,049 you step out of this truck, you're going home, man. There's got to be some really good songs out 743 01:11:36,049 --> 01:11:42,369 there for that one. I would have chosen Happy Days by Blink 182. Uh, just because it's a song that it 744 01:11:42,369 --> 01:11:47,969 just makes me feel so excited about whatever's coming, you could put that on right before I have 745 01:11:47,970 --> 01:11:54,009 to go wash the dishes, and I'll be 10% more excited about washing the dishes, I promise you. Uh, 746 01:11:54,009 --> 01:12:00,089 another one. How about just your favorite trucking song? Um, now, of course, everybody's going to tell 747 01:12:00,089 --> 01:12:06,979 you it's convoy or it's, uh, eastbound and down. I picked a different one that isn't necessarily 748 01:12:07,140 --> 01:12:13,339 a trucking song. As much as I feel like it's a song that could be about truckers, and you might 749 01:12:13,339 --> 01:12:19,140 remember it from this little line. He was wide in the shoulder and narrow at the hip, and everybody 750 01:12:19,140 --> 01:12:25,419 knew he didn't give no lip to Big John. So my favorite trucking song, which I think is written 751 01:12:25,419 --> 01:12:32,059 about the, the, the trucker, just the guy that we're talking about here, big Bad John by Jimmy Dean. Uh, 752 01:12:32,060 --> 01:12:37,499 go check that one out. It will be on the playlist. And the other one I want to ask you, what's your 753 01:12:37,500 --> 01:12:43,579 all time favorite song? What's the one that sits on a pinnacle above every other song that you've 754 01:12:43,580 --> 01:12:50,459 ever heard? The go to. You need it. Whether it's a happy song, a sad song, a mad song, a fun song, it 755 01:12:50,459 --> 01:12:57,299 doesn't matter. What is your all time favorite song? And I feel bad because, uh, two of 756 01:12:57,299 --> 01:13:02,548 my selections here that I will share with you are going to be from the same band, uh, But my all time 757 01:13:02,549 --> 01:13:09,309 favorite band is blink 182, and my all time favorite song is Dammit by Blink 182. So 758 01:13:09,430 --> 01:13:15,029 I've given you a lot here today. The drivers and Rodney gave you a lot here today to work with, and 759 01:13:15,029 --> 01:13:21,309 all we want is your suggestions. Don't forget to go over to podcast.bulktrucking.com.
