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. New episodes every Wednesday at podcast.bulktransit.com.
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

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. Uh, learning about your musical tastes and and
672
01:04:48,789 --> 01:04:54,629
building this playlist. 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. Uh, but thank you guys all for the time
675
01:05:04,469 --> 01:05:09,148
today. A lot of fun here on Always pneumatic, never static. 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

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
