You think of Seymour, you don't think of a single Broadway person. You think of Rick Moranis and, you know, the giant plant and all that kind of stuff. So they did do it at the.

[Joe Rubin]

Local high school here in my town last year. It was great.

[Mike Whiston]

I love some of those productions. I remember I was. I was working a job forever ago in like Somewhere in, like, upstate New York. And after hours, I saw they were doing Rocky Horror Picture show at some, like, random little theater. And I'm like, I'll go check it out. And it was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Like, because everyone was into it. The whole community was into it. It was like. It was really, really awesome. So I am Mike Whiston. I am the co host and co founder of the Friday night karaoke podcast and the Friday Night karaoke Facebook group.

And I am Joe Rubin with the same exact title. And.

[Various Singers/Performers]

Wow.

[Joe Rubin]

It's been a long time since we've recorded an episode, Mike. I mean, this is. We're really. I mean, this, the whole, like, hey, it's. We're on break and now we're coming back. Like, it's. It's starting to get old.

[Mike Whiston]

Like, we're suddenly podcast. It's time to record it.

We skip a.

[Various Singers/Performers]

Is.

[Joe Rubin]

It is difficult to get on our time frame things here, like our time zones, you know, but we do.

[Joe Rubin]

How's your leg? How's your microphone? Yeah. How's your.

We actually. We'll get into it more later, but we're celebrating the 200th theme of the week right now.

[Joe Rubin]

You see how far behind we are, by the way, that really makes it bad, dude.

[Mike Whiston]

Yeah, it's supposed to be theme of the week episode. We're almost there. You know, we're back. Oh, we're betting. Yeah, I'm not gonna do the math. That's hard. So, yeah. Coming up next, we have a long time Friday night karaoke member, a staple in the community, a man who you have all heard many times over, and not only just in his own songs, but in the songs that you put up as well. He's joined many of your songs. He's opens a ton of songs. He has his own album that he's putting out. He also has his own shot term, whatever you want to call it whenever you do a shot. Yeah, well, whenever you say his name, you do a shot.

[Joe Rubin]

Now I know who you're talking about.

[Mike Whiston]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. This man is. Other than Eric freaking Dubrowski. Do a shot. I'M doing. I'm drinking. Yeah.

[Joe Rubin]

Now we have coffee. There we go. Cheers.

[Mike Whiston]

Eric Dabski. He is a moderator of the Friday night karaoke community. He's a great friend and an absolutely phenomenal singer. He's going to be bringing a little if I could change the world from Phenomenon. Phenomenon. Phenomenon. There it is.

[Joe Rubin]

I don't think that's the same song.

[Various Singers/Performers]

If I can reach those star pull one down for you. Shine it on my heart so you can see the truth that this love inside is everything it seems. But for now I find it's only in my dreams. And I can change the world. I would be the sun God in your universe. You would think my love was really something good? Baby, if I could change the world. If I could be king even for a day I take you as my queen. I'd have it no other way, bab. And our love would rule this kingdom we have made. Till then I be a fool Wishing for the day that I can change the world. I would be the sun God in your universe. You think my love was really something good? Baby, if I could change the world? Baby, if I could change the world? If I could change the world? I would be the sunlight in your universe. You would think my love was really something good? Baby, if I could change Baby, if I could change the world? Baby, if I could change.

[Mike Whiston]

The world. If I could change that song and the way you sang it, I wouldn't.

[Various Singers/Performers]

Change a goddamn thing.

[Mike Whiston]

Cuz that was just. Just freaking perfect.

[Joe Rubin]

That was great. I love that song. I love, first of all, great movie because since we're doing the movie themes, right? Great movie in itself. And then I love the song. No, that wasn't the movie. Still not the movie man.

[Mike Whiston]

You think it is.

[Joe Rubin]

This is John Travolta movie. It was not the Muppet movie. And then.

[Mike Whiston]

Sandy just jumps up and then John Travolta Phenomenon.

[Various Singers/Performers]

He would.

[Joe Rubin]

You know what? He would have. He's probably in there. He'd be like, you know his dance, right? Oh my God.

[Mike Whiston]

Can somebody please stitch this together? Right? Phenomena. Oh my God. Right? That's a thing. But that was Eric Dubrowski. If I could change the world from Phenomenon. And I'm actually like, actually impressed that. And this is going to be true for a lot of the songs that we're playing here. And just in general from the. The theme week, it's amazing how many songs you really know and love and you know, you've really latched on to, but you just had no idea was part of another move Like a movie that you really loved and you really enjoyed, but you just didn't connect them. Like, I don't know if that was part of phenomenon.

[Joe Rubin]

No, that might be the case. But I mean, I think for the most part, like you can you hear a movie, you hear a song and you associate it with the movie.

[Mike Whiston]

Well, there's like, I think a couple like that.

[Joe Rubin]

It's iconic. Like we're not talking about some far fetched like, like, like third song and like that nobody heard of. And like we're talking like the iconic theme.

[Mike Whiston]

Reach the stars, fly your fantasy. That could be anything, any movie. Anyway.

[Joe Rubin]

I think that was in Star Trek 2, right?

[Mike Whiston]

Yeah, exactly. Falcore.

[Various Singers/Performers]

F.

[Mike Whiston]

So good.

[Various Singers/Performers]

Oh man.

[Joe Rubin]

Dude.

[Mike Whiston]

But Eric Dabrowski, really, he brought it home with that. I was impressed listening to that. He, you know, this is someone who, when he started in FnK, I mean, he was a great singer from the, from day one. Yeah, there's no, there's no like rags to riches here. He was, he was doing, you know, he was doing great right from the very beginning, but like, you know, just another person I've, I've watched and listened to, you know, for years now. And just where he is now compared to where he was was when he started and just like hearing the progression, it's again, he was amazing when he started, but it's just like another level now and I love it. And it's a, it's, it's a, it's nuanced down.

[Joe Rubin]

Yeah. Like you said, he, he's, he's actually recording his own songs. He's writing and recording his own songs now, which is pretty awesome.

[Mike Whiston]

Yeah.

[Joe Rubin]

So I think that's, I think that's freaking fantastic.

[Mike Whiston]

I really want him to roll out like a business called like karaoke fitness, you know, because like the dude's jacked and you know, and he does like some fitness stuff on Instagram, I think. And like, you know, maybe you're doing push ups and he's like, go. And you're like.

[Joe Rubin]

Wrong.

[Mike Whiston]

Do it again.

[Joe Rubin]

I would have to be like, dude, bro. It would have to be like, oh.

[Mike Whiston]

And then you do a shot and.

[Joe Rubin]

Then you do a shot at the end, right?

[Mike Whiston]

Yes. We're really good at making businesses.

[Joe Rubin]

I know, I know. I'm gonna start printing up business cards tomorrow for that one.

[Mike Whiston]

So absolutely brilliant. And this is actually like as far as like coming up with songs to, to sing. Like, I didn't get to put any out there, I don't think for iconic. I really wanted to but it's one of those theme weeks where, like, you know, there's so many options and, like, so many things that resonated so deeply with you when you were growing up that it's like you almost want you almost. It almost can't stop you from singing them. Although I couldn't. I couldn't put myself in front of.

[Joe Rubin]

A microphone, you apparently. So I actually recorded one. It's been a long time, too. I was watching Back to the Future when we came out with this theme, and I was like, second, like, Power Love came on and I'm like, oh, I gotta do it. I actually did it.

[Mike Whiston]

I was gonna say, like, what's the Back to the Future theme song? Like, speaking of which. Speaking of which, there's. I went to go see Frozen, the musical in Tokyo with my family not that long ago. And it was a great, great show, like Broadway level production. I was super impressed. But the theater has a Back to the Future musical, and I guess that's a thing already on Broadway. I didn't realize it, but it's coming here and I'm super excited. But then I was thinking, like, what songs are they gonna sing for Back to the Future, the musical?

[Joe Rubin]

Come on, man. Did you figure it out?

[Mike Whiston]

No. No. If I could turn back time, I find a way.

[Joe Rubin]

That's the one. Isn't that weird that that was not in the movie?

[Mike Whiston]

Time is on my side. Oh, we can do FNK time. Songs about time.

[Joe Rubin]

You know what?

[Mike Whiston]

It's the five o' clock world. When the whistle blows Time after time. Oh, my God. This is a good idea. All right, let's fast forward to the end. I have mine already. You have to come up with your own.

[Joe Rubin]

That's.

[Mike Whiston]

Coming up next for Fnk Iconic, episode number 66 of the Friday Night Karaoke Podcast. It's gonna be a little Be My Baby from none other than. Can you guess it?

[Joe Rubin]

No.

[Mike Whiston]

Dirty Dancing. Oh, you knew it. You knew it. It just took you a second. It's gonna be Bonnie Rochelle again. Be My Baby Dirty Dancing. Let's give it a listen.

[Various Singers/Performers]

The night we met I knew I needed you so and if I had the chance I never let you go so won't you say you love me? I'll make you so proud of me we'll make them turn their heads Every place we go so won't you please be my, be my, be my little baby say you'll be my darling.

[Mike Whiston]

[Various Singers/Performers]

My baby now I'll make you happy, baby Just wait and see for every kid you give me I'll give you three. Oh, since the day I saw you I have been waiting for you. You know I will adore you till eternity. So won't you be my. Be my little baby, baby, my darling be my bab now so come on and be my little baby, baby, my darling now to my baby now.

[Mike Whiston]

I mean, I'll be your listener forever, though. That was awesome. That was so good. I love pretty dancing.

[Joe Rubin]

Oh, man. Great movie and great song. Like, that was a fantastic rendition of that song. She was. She crushed that one, like, on it.

[Mike Whiston]

Like, I mean, that was, you know, that was movie level quality. You know, that was, you know, so good. So good. And I'm so jealous of people who can do that. Like, I want to be able to sing like that. You know, I get, I get like. That was funny.

[Joe Rubin]

You sounded so funny. That was great. Were you trying to be funny? Like, you were funny?

[Mike Whiston]

Yeah, yeah. They, they like, write down like, a little, like, smiley face on the card and give it to me. Like. Or sometimes they're like, you should be proud of yourself.

[Joe Rubin]

Three smiley face emotions.

[Mike Whiston]

But you know what? That's all I need. So again, that was Bonnie Rochelle with Be My Baby from Dirty Dancing. And just like that song, obviously, like, the whole, like, everything about that movie is iconic. The, the main actress in that movie, she, you know, she's been in like a million. A million different movies. That's. This is my point. Like, she's been in that Ferris Bueller, like a bajillion other movies, right?

[Joe Rubin]

Yeah.

[Mike Whiston]

I can't think of her name to saved my life. I knew you wouldn't be able to either. I knew it. I knew it.

[Joe Rubin]

Aniston. No, Jennifer.

[Various Singers/Performers]

I.

[Mike Whiston]

You know, Jennifer Aniston wouldn't have worked.

[Joe Rubin]

Jennifer Connelly.

[Mike Whiston]

Nope. That's, you know, Labyrinth movies.

[Joe Rubin]

I'll work on it. We'll come up with this.

[Mike Whiston]

Actually, that's one thing I'm actually surprised. I was dying to hear some Labyrinth and nobody did. Like, like, you know, you remind me of the babe.

[Joe Rubin]

Babe.

[Various Singers/Performers]

What Power.

[Mike Whiston]

Power of voodoo. You could have done it. You could have remind me of the baby.

[Joe Rubin]

You're a little too late. Hey, can we thank our sponsors for a few minutes? Because we're, like, into this episode. We haven't even said thank you.

[Mike Whiston]

Oh, you know what? I love giving thanks. So right now, thank you to. I'm going to give a quick thank you. Not to a sponsor, but to the person who does all of the artwork for both Friday Night karaoke and our. Our main company, Mopod and Mo Media. He's done all of our artwork for literally everything that we've ever put out. So every album cover, every logo, every, like, little. Every web page, everything. He is the man behind the art. So, Roma Hyman, a giant thank you to you. And I give you a thank you because you sent me that. He's from Ukraine. He's, you know, dealing with everything that's going on over there right now. And he had sent Joe and I these really awesome traditional Ukraine mugs. So I am drinking my coffee out of my Ukraine mug.

Yep. And the coffee I'm drinking is none other than. Hold on. Here it is. Heroes Media Group beverages. It's going to be called Kickstart, and it is delicious. It's medium dark. I love my coffee dripped, and it's a perfect coffee for dripping. And you don't have to grind the beans, which is really.

[Joe Rubin]

No, it's actually great. I've been drinking it for a few weeks now, and it's fantastic. I love it.

[Mike Whiston]

Yeah. Yeah. And also, we would like to thank. Sure. Microphones, who I'm using right now. Joe, you know, he couldn't figure out his audio on his computer. It was this big thing. He had to make it to get fixed. And, yeah, he just. He really needs to work on his tech ability because the. It was my fault, actually, in the end.

[Joe Rubin]

Mediocre at best. Yeah.

[Mike Whiston]

I'm just gonna take credit. It was my fault, and I destroyed everything. And, you know, that's a reason we're a week later than usual. Even more. Even more.

[Joe Rubin]

Like. Yeah. The entire last week trying to get the audio to work. And, yeah, we thought it was on Mike's system, so.

[Mike Whiston]

Yeah, we thought it was his system. It was mine. I'm like, literally like, you idiot, why can't you get this to work?

[Joe Rubin]

My desktop has been at the computer repair store for, like, three days, and the guy's like, I can't find anything wrong with it. I'm like, something's wrong with my computer. Fix it, please. And it was actually nothing wrong with it.

[Various Singers/Performers]

It was.

[Mike Whiston]

Was Mike's here, but we solved it.

[Joe Rubin]

Problem solved. Nice job, Mike.

[Mike Whiston]

I'm a movie guy, too. I went to school for film. I want to be a director or a producer. That was my goal in life. And then I realized right after, you know, after college, I realized I wanted to make money instead.

[Joe Rubin]

So if you make the right movie, like a Guardians of the Galaxy movie, like, you'd make money.

[Mike Whiston]

Oh, I mean Woman in Red. So you're saying there's a chance.

[Joe Rubin]

Come up with the next Iron Man. You'll do just fine.

[Mike Whiston]

So what do you think my chances of making it, like, the movie industry are like, 100. Like one in a million.

Like one in a million.

[Mike Whiston]

So you saying there's a chance.

[Joe Rubin]

Neil Diamond?

[Joe Rubin]

Oh, all right, never mind.

[Mike Whiston]

I actually don't know who sings that. Really? It's gonna be Chris Gonzalez with I just called to say I love you from Woman in Red. Let's give it a listen.

[Various Singers/Performers]

No New Year's Day to celebrate. No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away. No first of stream, no song to sing. In fact, it's just another Ordinary day no April rain no flowers blue no wedding Saturday within the month of June but what it is is something true Made up of these three words that I must say to you I just called to say I love you I just called to say how much I care I just called to say I love you and I mean it from the bottom of my heart no summertime no won't you light no the harvest moon to light once in their August night the water, breeze go falling leaves not even time for birds to fly to southern skies no deep breath sun no Halloween no giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring but what it is, though oh so new to feel your heart like like no three words could ever do I just called to say I love you I just called to say how much I care, I do I just call to say I love you and I need it from the bottom of my heart I just called to say I love you I just called to say how much I I care, I do I just called to say I love you and I mean it from the bottom of my heart oh, my heart, baby, in my. What did I just hear?

[Mike Whiston]

What did I just hear? I just called to say.

[Various Singers/Performers]

Oh, my God.

[Joe Rubin]

Wow, dude, that guy has some range. Holy.

[Mike Whiston]

The. The sound that. You know, I saw him, and then the sound that came out of him didn't match what I saw.

[Joe Rubin]

I wasn't expecting any of that at all, honestly. None of it.

[Mike Whiston]

He did, like, that was phenomenal. Like, he. He just crushed that tenor. That was all day long.

[Joe Rubin]

I don't know. I don't think that was really a. Is that a tenor?

[Mike Whiston]

I don't know. I'm not really good at music. I just. I just kind of.

[Joe Rubin]

No, that was fantastic, dude. I mean, like, great. I. I really was not expecting any of that at all.

[Mike Whiston]

He had some great range. He had all those reflections, like, all throughout the song that just, like, you know, it just kind of carried you along, you know? It's a long song, for sure.

[Joe Rubin]

What was that?

[Mike Whiston]

Songs like that. That Chris Gonzalez with I Just Called to say I Love you from Woman in Red. All right. And I'm. I'm actually. I looked up who sings this song, and we're gonna do charades. We're gonna do charades.

[Joe Rubin]

All right, go on.

[Mike Whiston]

Let's see if you can figure out who sings this song.

[Various Singers/Performers]

Right.

[Mike Whiston]

All right.

[Various Singers/Performers]

I'll.

[Mike Whiston]

I'll.

[Joe Rubin]

I'll do my best. What's that thing? What are you doing with your hands? Are you making, like, little spiders? Like, I don't Understand what?

[Mike Whiston]

That.

[Various Singers/Performers]

That.

[Mike Whiston]

Trying to play piano. I don't know. I don't play piano.

[Joe Rubin]

Oh, is that. That's a piano mute. Okay. No, I don't know.

[Mike Whiston]

Supposed to be Stevie Wonder. I can't see.

[Joe Rubin]

Oh, is it fantastic for those of you at home.

[Mike Whiston]

Yeah.

[Various Singers/Performers]

Who can't hear anything.

[Mike Whiston]

I'm just like. So what's happening is I'm having spasms on the camera in an attempt to look like Stevie Wonder on the piano.

[Joe Rubin]

No, that. No, I. I think it's great because, look, people don't get canceled nowadays, especially when they impersonate blind black guys. We'll be fine.

[Mike Whiston]

Wait, wait. I want to preface. I guess it's not preface either. He did it. But, you know, he's awesome, and it's great. Yeah. And I love pianos, and I live down the school. I. I live down the road from a school for the blind, and I always slow down when I drove on.

[Joe Rubin]

That road, so then. No, then you're safe because. Yeah. No, you had a black friend who was blind growing up, so you're good.

[Various Singers/Performers]

I did.

[Mike Whiston]

I. I did. So we're good. All right, well, then. Well, how are we gonna take our way out of this pickle again? Chris Gonzalez, thank you so much for that. Absolutely incredible in every way. I was absolutely blown away. I have no idea. Changing subject. I have no idea how you pulled that off, but super impressive. And I actually want to go back and listen to some of his other songs in Friday Night Karaoke now, because I. I could just imagine what else he could be putting out.

[Joe Rubin]

Yeah. And I'm gonna go search for some new sponsors. I'm sure all of us have just canceled.

[Mike Whiston]

Hi, my name's Mike, and how many.

[Joe Rubin]

Songs we have left, Mike?

[Mike Whiston]

So I'm building a house in Japan right now. Very exciting. Anyway, we actually are building a house. It's like, it's really exciting. And we're putting a music studio inside the house. So we're going to be, you know, obviously recording the Friday night karaoke podcast in there. But, you know, we have a whole bunch of instruments that I don't know how to play, including a piano. So my charades will be better because I'll use a real piano. You'll get there. Oh, man. I should just go to the next song.

[Joe Rubin]

You should.

[Mike Whiston]

What's that song? Diggy Diggy Hole. I am a dwarf and I dig in a hole. Oh, that's a great song.

[Joe Rubin]

I ain't saying you're a hole digger.

[Various Singers/Performers]

But.

[Mike Whiston]

That'S a nice one. I ain't saying you're a hole digger. All right, coming up next, we have a long. Another longtime member of the Friday night karaoke committee, another moderator of the community. What?

[Various Singers/Performers]

What?

[Mike Whiston]

What do you want from me?

[Joe Rubin]

Just spit my whiskey out. I thought you could just sing the next verse and really drive the nail point home here.

[Mike Whiston]

The song is I love you Baby, from my favorite movie of all time, Outside of hackers, 10 things I hate about you. It's a random movie to have as my favorite, but I just love everything about that movie. It's 10 Things I Hate about you. It's the. You know, with Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger. And that movie was great. It was really, really well done. And, you know this song, he's on the.

[Various Singers/Performers]

The.

[Mike Whiston]

On the bleachers out in the field, and he's, like, running across, away from security. And it's just like a really good scene and really good everything. So this is Mimi Walt with I love you Baby, from 10 Things I Hate about you. Let's give it a listen.

[Various Singers/Performers]

You're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off you. You'd be like heaven to touch. I wanna hold you so much. At long last love has arrived. And I thank God I'm alive. You're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off you. Pardon the way that I stare. There's nothing else to compare. The side of you leaves me weak? There are no words left to speak. But if you feel like I feel? Please let me know that it's we. You're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off you. I love you, baby. And if it's quite all right. I need you, baby, to walk the lonely nights. I love you, baby. Trust in me when I say. Oh, pretty baby. Don't bring me down, I'll pray? Oh, pretty baby? Now that I found you staying. Let me love you, baby. Let me, let me love you. You're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off of you. You'd feel like heaven to touch. I want to hold you so much. At long last, love has arrived. And I thank God I'm alive. You're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off you. I love you, baby. And if it's quite all right. I need you, baby. To all the lonely nights. I love you, baby. Trust in me when I say. Oh, pretty baby. Don't bring me down, I pray. Oh, pretty baby. Now that I love you stay and let me Love you, baby. Let me love you.

[Mike Whiston]

I love you.

[Various Singers/Performers]

I love your song, Mimi.

[Joe Rubin]

That was awesome, dude.

[Mike Whiston]

Yeah, I love it. I love it. And it just brings back really good memories, too. And that's what I think the whole point of this theme or week is it just bringing back those good memories.

[Joe Rubin]

Exactly. Exactly. And that. That was really nail on the head for that one. I mean, that that song was iconic in that movie, and Mimi crushed it. She did.

[Mike Whiston]

Yeah. I mean, it's one of those things, like, one day, you know, I'm gonna surprise my wife at, like, freaking in a. In a stadium somewhere, and, you know, I'm just gonna start running from security on the PA And I'm gonna sing that song. But it's not gonna end the same way. I'm gonna be in jail, and then I'll get divorced.

[Joe Rubin]

Oh, man, I think it'd be great. I'm gon your fake security guards just to tackle your ass and just beat.

[Mike Whiston]

The out of you like linebackers. I know you get the notes out.

[Joe Rubin]

Yeah, that didn't look the same as the movie. That was horrible.

[Mike Whiston]

Didn't go the way I thought.

[Various Singers/Performers]

No.

[Joe Rubin]

Oh, my God, man.

[Mike Whiston]

Again, that was Mimi. Walt. I love you, baby. From 10 Things I Hate about you.

[Joe Rubin]

And nice job, Mimi. That was fantastic.

[Mike Whiston]

Yeah, it really, really was.

[Joe Rubin]

Hey, man, I love doing this podcast with you.

[Mike Whiston]

Oh, I love doing this podcast with you, Joe Ruben.

[Joe Rubin]

I just wanted to throw that out there again.

[Mike Whiston]

So, you know, this is episode 66. We've been doing this. You know, this is third season now, technically, like episode four of season three. And we've been doing this for 66. I mean, not 66 weeks, but, you know, 66 different times.

[Joe Rubin]

Times.

[Mike Whiston]

Times. Yeah, times. But you know what we have been doing for many weeks? 200 theme weeks in the Friday night karaoke community. So again, just go to Friday night karaoke on Facebook. We told you how to get there before. Answer those questions and join at the top in the featured section. Every week on Fridays, we put out a new theme of the week. And I think right now, I don't recall what the theme is. It's a FnK thousands or something. Oh, no. It's FnK party or 200 party. That's what he wants. Yeah, it's party songs to celebrate the 200th theme of the week, but love it. Yeah. For 200 weeks, we've been giving away 10Amazon gift cards and a bunch of other things, and I think this week we're giving away 200 worth of prizes to like.

[Joe Rubin]

Yeah, we Pumped it up.

[Mike Whiston]

Yeah. It's never about the, you know, it's never about the, the money or about the prize. It's more about just the community and about fun. But you know, there's, it's always nice to have that little thing to go after every, every week. And yeah, it's nice.

[Joe Rubin]

And you know what? 200 bucks, that's, that's an even nicer prize.

[Mike Whiston]

I think we're doing like $100 first. Like, I think it's like 30 to second and then 2010, 10 or something like that. I don't remember what it is. Something like that.

[Joe Rubin]

And it's good. That's good. And you know what, with all the crap going on in this world, it's nice to escape here for an hour and do this with you. And it's nice to escape. It's nice to escape and sing a song every now and then and hear the people singing because like, again, like, lots going on in this planet, man, and to be able to, to be able to do something like this with FNK and, and, and just get out there and just be like, just put, put everything to the side for a few minutes. Everything in the world put it to the side and get on FnK. And there's people of all walks of life on FnK, people that you may not necessarily normally hang out with in person, but everybody's so supportive in this group. There's no negativity in this group. There's, there's no just blatant self promotion crap in this group. You get on there, you sing a song and everybody, no matter who they are, like whatever, whatever background they have, they're in there and they're supporting you and they're encouraging you and I love that. I love that a lot.

[Mike Whiston]

Dude, you hit the nail on the head with that. I mean, it's, it's what it's literally all about. When we started Friday night, Karaoke Community, the community, we had no idea what it was going to be. We had no idea if it was going to be big, small, if people would care. We literally made it because, you know, if you haven't heard the story and we haven't told it in a while, you know, it was the, the pandemic and we were sad and we couldn't go out and we decided to create this little thing where we were singing back and forth to each other and posting, reposting other karaoke songs that we found on the web that we really liked. And we thought that, you know, they were doing a, you Know, something genuine and unique and they really loved it. You know, it wasn't just a, you know, a promotional thing. And, you know, those people ended up joining and, you know, the community started growing and now it's 35, 000 members posting hundreds of songs a day. And again, free ad. Free me. It's just a really. It's my happy place on the Internet.

[Joe Rubin]

Exactly, exactly.

[Mike Whiston]

And all of you listening and all of you in the community already, you're my happy people.

[Joe Rubin]

Yes. Thank you, happy people. Thank you, happy people. Seriously, from the bottom of our hearts. Really. Thank you. We love this so much.

[Mike Whiston]

So that's the thing, right? Yeah, sure.

[Joe Rubin]

Yeah.

[Mike Whiston]

Okay. It could be.

[Joe Rubin]

You won't get canceled for that. Don't worry about it. What's up? Let's play the next song.

[Mike Whiston]

So coming up next, this is. This one's right up your alley. I mean, it's technically up both of our alleys, but you are, you'll. I'm just gonna tell you the name of the song and you're gonna tell me what movie it's from. And you have to get. If, if it's a sequel or whatever, you have to get the. All right, the number.

[Joe Rubin]

I'll put the number on the back.

[Mike Whiston]

All right. The song is Fox on the Run.

[Joe Rubin]

Fox on the Run. Oh, I. I mentioned it earlier. Gardens of the Galaxy.

[Mike Whiston]

Yes, yes. Guardians of Galaxy, Volume 2. And this is gonna be Rick Mendoza. And let me tell you, I've. I've already listened to and watched this video and. Oh, man, you're in for a treat. Let's give it. Let's give it a listen and give it a watch, man.

[Joe Rubin]

Because I was on. We were on a gal on a Guardians of the Galaxy trip this week at our house. Like, it was like, you know, the nighttime movies before bed.

[Mike Whiston]

So.

[Joe Rubin]

Yes, yes, it's.

[Mike Whiston]

It's one of my favorites to go back and watch over and over and over again.

[Joe Rubin]

And I just want to. And me and my wife are talking about, we're like, like, man, whoever did the soundtrack for the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, like, bravo, hat tip to that person, cuz. Holy crap. Great soundtrack all around. Great soundtrack.

[Mike Whiston]

I can't stop the feeling.

[Joe Rubin]

Like, I bought the lps, I bought the full size records, all three of them, because it's such a good soundtrack and I love it.

[Mike Whiston]

It's. I, I agree. I've played that song far too many times. And my kids, dude, you know, like, I do the. And then they start singing on top of it. It's super awesome. So anyway, again, Mendoza with Fox on the run from Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 2. Let's give it a listen and give it a watch. Here it is.

[Various Singers/Performers]

I don't want to know your name? Cause you don't look the same the way you did before. Okay. You think you got a pretty face but the rest of you is out of place you looked all right before Vibes on the run you scream and everybody comes a run and take a run and I let yourself away Put five and hide away. You, you talk about your stuff every band but the names you drop are second hand? I've heard it all before I don't want to know your name Cuz you don't look the same the way you did before. Thoughts? On the run you scream and everybody comes a run and take a run and hide yourself away. Foxy on the rail but Foxy farts on the run and hide away. All right. Body comes, I'm running. Take a run and hide yourself away. Boxy on the R, but Boxy bombs on the run and hide away Box on the run. Vi.

[Mike Whiston]

Thank you. You're welcome. Don't hide away.

[Various Singers/Performers]

Keep singing. Keep singing.

[Joe Rubin]

Oh, my God, dude, that was so good. That was so good.

[Mike Whiston]

It was, you know, fox on the run. It should have been like raccoon on the run. No, he's not a. He's not a raccoon. He's not a raccoon.

[Joe Rubin]

He's not a raccoon. Dude, we already established.

[Mike Whiston]

I know, I know. We actually did establish in a later movie that he is, in fact a raccoon. Raccoon.

[Joe Rubin]

But not yet. Okay. He's not a raccoon. And. But you know what. What was that guy's name who just sang that? Say it again.

[Mike Whiston]

That was. See it again with Fox on the run from.

[Joe Rubin]

That was freaking awesome, dude. That was awesome. I loved it.

[Mike Whiston]

I loved it. Yeah, I love, like, the effect, too. Like, you know, sometimes, like, effects, sex can actually hurt your singing. You know, like, it's really easy, especially when you're using the apps like Smule and Star Maker. Yeah. You know, other karaoke apps. It's really easy. You overdo it.

[Joe Rubin]

Right?

[Mike Whiston]

Yeah. I'm completely guilty of this. Especially a long time ago and even. Even now sometimes, you know, when you're. And when I'm not confident in a song I'm about to sing, I'll put a whole bunch of effects on it and be like, all right, yeah, that'll. That'll at least, you know, make it passable. And it's really easy to overdo it, but. But then there's the times that the effect matches the song perfectly. And in that case, it was exactly the effect to use the right around reverb. And, you know, it sounded like it belonged. It was just fantastic. And he did a phenomenal job.

[Joe Rubin]

That was great. That was great. And that wasn't, you know, again, another song that you don't expect people to sing. Right?

[Mike Whiston]

Yeah.

[Joe Rubin]

And all of a sudden, he busted out. I'm like, yes. Like, the second he started it, I was like, oh, here we go. Like, I knew it.

[Various Singers/Performers]

And.

[Mike Whiston]

And they had, like, you know, in the track he was using, they had the chorus playing in the background. You know, it's perfect. No, no, no. But he sang with that chorus perfectly.

[Joe Rubin]

Yeah, exactly. It wasn't like some mismatched.

[Mike Whiston]

Right.

[Joe Rubin]

It was. It was just. It was on it. It was odd.

[Mike Whiston]

Rick Mendoza, thank you for bringing a little Guardians of the Galaxy Light into our lives today on the Friday night karaoke podcast.

[Joe Rubin]

FNK Iconic Lord thanks you.

[Mike Whiston]

Oh, Star Lord. I, I, I really want to go, like, get a full Star Lord, like, authentic outfit for Halloween. I want to do that.

[Joe Rubin]

Can I tell you? So my daughter, when she was like, I don't know, it was like five years ago or something like that, she's like, oh, one of her friends was coming over to play. Her name is Evie.

[Mike Whiston]

Right.

[Joe Rubin]

And she came over all of a sudden, like, there was knock on the door, and Evie showed up in full Star Lord costume. Full costume, the gun, everything. She's just knocking the door, and she's standing there, like, you know, four foot tall. And I looked at him, like, there's like, this mini Star Lord. I'm like, oh, you are the best. I'm like, get in here. I'm like, this is fantastic.

[Mike Whiston]

I was like, you get all the.

[Joe Rubin]

Candy, but she's your new friend. I like her. She's great.

[Mike Whiston]

Instant approval. Yeah. You know, my. I'm really. My daughter's 11, and I'm already worried about, like, what's going to happen when she. She's a teenager and she gets boyfriends and all that. But, you know, like, if that's how I met her boyfriend, you know, if. Or girlfriend or whatever she ends up with, and they come home and they're wearing a Star Lord outfit.

[Joe Rubin]

You know what? Awesome.

[Mike Whiston]

It's an instant. All right, you know, we can, we can talk. Let's.

[Joe Rubin]

Yeah, you know, I'm. I'm prepared.

[Mike Whiston]

I'm also gonna pull an Uncle Buck, you know, like, you know, I'M gonna show them my hatchet in the back.

[Joe Rubin]

Oh, yeah, no, I. I was just gonna say I'm prepared to be the dad with the shotgun at the doorbell. How you doing?

[Various Singers/Performers]

But.

[Joe Rubin]

But you know what? If the dude shows up in a Star Lord costume, I'm gonna be like, all right. I can't even. I can't even. Can't even pretend to be mad. Like, you rock. Get in here, man. Get in here, son. You know, like, get over here. Your son already. What's your name?

[Mike Whiston]

You know, like, pouring him a whiskey at 13. Have some, Mr. Cliffs.

[Joe Rubin]

Yeah, exactly. Do you like Mr. Cliff's whiskey, son?

[Various Singers/Performers]

What's happening?

[Mike Whiston]

It's just like Guardians of the Galaxy. So we're at that time in the podcast. It's a really sad time. It happens every podcast, and we have to deal with it every podcast. But we are on the last song.

[Joe Rubin]

It better be good, dude. After Fox on the run, this better be a banger.

[Mike Whiston]

It's a nice way to end, you know, a phenomenal singer in the group. Another person who's been really active in collaborations and just. Just really active in general. Really good attitude, dude. Like, you know, from. Obviously we have limited exposure to a lot of these people, but from what I've seen and from the comments he makes and just from the way he interacts with the community, really great attitude and a phenomenal singer in every way. He's gonna be singing a little Smokey and the Bandit was. Yeah, well, he's not singing Smoking the Bandit, but from Smoking the Bandit, eastbound and down to. Oh, yeah, close out the podcast, and there's like, some samples from the actual show in the beginning and end of it. So I think it's a perfect way to go out. Let's give it a listen. This is Mark Cross, eastbound and down, smoking the Bandit.

[Joe Rubin]

Let's hear it.

[Mike Whiston]

Oh, my God. What a great way to go out.

[Joe Rubin]

Some people, I feel like, man, I.

[Mike Whiston]

Feel like he was born with a cowboy hat on his head. I mean, some people, he came out.

[Joe Rubin]

You know, what, in the hospital and, you know, they. They wrap your baby and they give you the. Here's the black. He was wrapped in that Texas flag, right? He was definitely that Texas flag, right? There was no, like, little black. He was in the Texas flag and the cowboy hat, you know, for sure.

[Mike Whiston]

Man, what a. What a phenomenal rendition of Eastbound and Down. Smokey in the Bandit. That, again, was Mark Cross to round out the Friday night karaoke podcast. And, man, I was singing along. I freaking missed. I haven't watched Smoking the Bandit forever.

[Joe Rubin]

I know I'm gonna have to get on that this week. No, I mean, I had guardians last week. Smokey and the Bandit is next week.

[Mike Whiston]

I think now at the end where he's like, come on somewhere. You wearing or whatever. Like, I was like, we were just talking about that, right?

[Joe Rubin]

I know, exactly. Dude, that was. Dude, by the way, that was perfect. He crushed that song, dude. Yeah, it was great. It was great.

[Mike Whiston]

He just owns it. Yeah, he does these country songs really well. He does the rock songs really well. Well, I. I don't know if I've heard him sing anything. He sings a lot in the group, but I think it's mostly country and rock, if I'm not mistaken. I'm gonna challenge him to go ahead and sing some Celine Dion.

[Joe Rubin]

All right. Yeah. Way to go outside your comfort zone a bit.

[Mike Whiston]

Right?

[Joe Rubin]

Just like.

[Mike Whiston]

And it's your favorite singer Ever.

[Joe Rubin]

It is. What just happened? Did you just pull a tooth out? Oh, God. God showed me your tooth.

[Mike Whiston]

Wait, are we witnessing a live tooth extraction?

[Joe Rubin]

It just happened. No, no, it just happened. There's a tooth fairy showing up at.

[Mike Whiston]

Our house sometime live on the interwebs.

[Joe Rubin]

I know. Hopefully it was a baby tooth.

[Mike Whiston]

I mean, my son is. You know, he's five years old. He hasn't lost any teeth yet, but he's. No, he lost one, but he's ready. I think I. I think he's of the mind that, you know, once his big, you know, adult teeth come in, he's going to start knocking him out just to get the money. Oh, yeah. I'm pretty sure he's like eight of five. And then he's gonna start looking for other people's teeth.

[Joe Rubin]

My whiskey again.

[Mike Whiston]

Dude, your son's been getting into some fights. You know, he goes to the teeth, right?

[Joe Rubin]

Just give me your tooth, right?

[Mike Whiston]

Why? What's wrong with you?

[Joe Rubin]

Why you put my tooth out?

[Mike Whiston]

I need to buy a new video game. Give me some teeth.

[Joe Rubin]

Maybe need new shoes. Oh, move it on the street.

[Mike Whiston]

Hey, got. Got teeth. Got teeth.

[Joe Rubin]

I know. How much is a street tooth worth? Like, can you get, like.

[Mike Whiston]

I don't know, can you arbitrage that? You know, you buy it for a dollar and you sell it to the tooth fairy for two, right?

[Joe Rubin]

Oh, man.

[Mike Whiston]

He starts a big racket. Like, kids are taking out their own teeth. He's like, I'll give you 50 cents. He knows he gets a buck from the freaking tooth fairy. I couldn't even be mad. I'd be like, that's good business. Good job.

[Joe Rubin]

But you're like, son, how come I've given you, like, $7,000 then this past year? Like, what's.

[Mike Whiston]

I guess I would be like, that's.

[Joe Rubin]

That's good business.

[Mike Whiston]

At that stage.

[Joe Rubin]

Adult teeth don't count, man. Those are real expensive. Yeah. This fairy shows up like, oh.

[Mike Whiston]

So my mind instantly went to the adult teeth. You're right. If he's running the racket, he's going to, like, preschool and stuff or, like, kindergartens. And he's like, yeah, give me exactly. Give me your baby teeth when they come out.

[Joe Rubin]

Exactly.

[Mike Whiston]

All right, all right. That's smart.

[Joe Rubin]

Let's get back on track here.

[Mike Whiston]

It's like, what's behind door number two? You know, like, no, I can guarantee yourself 50 cents. Or.

[Joe Rubin]

No, no, I listen, I squirreled it a little bit. My daughter ran in, showed me a tooth, got me completely off track. All right, let's get back on track here. Next week's episode.

[Mike Whiston]

Yeah. So this is what we do at the end of every podcast. We pick up the next theme of the week. And I think we just picked it, didn't we? It was fnk time.

[Joe Rubin]

Do we do the time?

[Mike Whiston]

I actually like that. You know, the more I think about it, the more I like it. You know, it's songs about time directly or that mention something to do with time or.

[Joe Rubin]

You don't have to say the word time in there, right?

[Mike Whiston]

Doesn't have to be the word time. It could be five o'.

[Various Singers/Performers]

Clock.

[Mike Whiston]

It could be. Be, you know, about something in the past, you know, because that's time or future. That's time. You know, like anything relating to time in some way. And go ahead and be creative. We're not that stingy. It's going to be FNK time from this upcoming Friday, likely, when we drop this podcast episode. So that was easy.

[Joe Rubin]

Wow.

[Mike Whiston]

That was probably the easiest.

[Joe Rubin]

I know. No fighting at all. But you know what? We came up with it right in the middle of the show, like, spontaneously. And it was just. Why go with something different?

[Various Singers/Performers]

Different.

[Joe Rubin]

I like it.

[Mike Whiston]

Kind of perfect.

[Joe Rubin]

It was meant to be. It was meant to be.

[Mike Whiston]

Meant to freaking be. Absolutely. So that's it. That's all we got. Thank you so much for joining us on Episode number 66 of the Friday Night Karaoke podcast.
