EPISODE OVERVIEW

Theme:
This episode marks Day Two of Playdio—the station’s annual local-band battle. Holmberg and the crew spend most of the show reviewing, reacting to, and skewering tracks submitted by Arizona musicians, with the goal of identifying the top bands for a live final showdown. The episode is jam-packed with musical roastings, praise, recurring inside jokes, tangents about aging and TV nostalgia, and memorable banter, all delivered in the show’s signature irreverent and conversational tone.

KEY DISCUSSION POINTS & INSIGHTS

1. Playdio Day Two Structure and Personality

• Playdio Format: Local bands submit original songs; the crew rates and banters between each track, offering feedback ranging from sincere to savagely hilarious.
• Judging Crew: John, Brady, Brett, Toledo, and occasionally guest/judges like Corey and “Thriller.”
• Contestant Diversity: Spanning one-man bands to metalcore outfits; bands range from the impressive to the amateurish.

---

2. Opening Banter & Aging Tangents

• Aging and Celebrities:
  • John marvels at how older TV stars (Ray Romano, Patricia Heaton) at their 30th “Everybody Loves Raymond” reunion look better than 1950s celebrities did after just a decade off TV.
  • Holmberg links the better aging of modern people to reduced environmental toxins:

    “...two things. Cigarettes, Lead. We took lead out of gasoline and that’s like contributed to our bodies reacting so differently to aging. It’s lead.” (07:15)

  • Comparisons between Wilford Brimley’s age in “The Natural" (younger than John now) prompt jokes about shifting standards of “old.”
  • Group recalls how their grandparents looked far older at younger ages (“my grandpa had been drugged through a fire”).

Timestamp Highlights:

• [06:49] “Why are we aging better? ... Why is a 60 year old Ray Romano’s gonna be 68 next ... and he looks fantastic? ... Cigarettes, Lead.” – John

---

3. Media Rants & Cultural Commentary

• Broadcast Standards Rant:
  • John rails against current double standards, joking that television exposing audiences to “menstrual blood facials” should open the door for full nudity and swearing on air:

    “If I can see a woman covered in period blood on her skin, I can see breasts and not be offended ... and also I should be allowed to cuss, because if you can watch women with menstrual blood on their face, you can hear the F word and not freak the F out.” (18:00)

  • The show erupts in mockery at new beauty trends involving menstrual blood and placenta pills.

Timestamp Highlights:

• [19:29] “Call me Wilford Brimley, I don’t care how good I look putting that stuff on.” – Brett
• [20:03] “Every time she starts cramping, do like the Bible says, only in reverse. You leave for seven days.” – John

---

4. Family, Nostalgia, and Generational Differences

• Jokes about old TV shows and the idea that “our grandparents were dumb”—highlighting how basics like packing, wardrobes, and even TV logic (e.g., “Roy Rogers” set in the car age but refusing to drive).
  • [14:23] “Our grandparents were stupid and they ate lead and smoked like crazy. And they died looking terrible.” – John
• Packing Anecdotes: John marvels at how his grandparents consistently traveled with a single small bag for six weeks and walked to the supermarket every day.

5. PLAYDIO – Main Event & Band Reviews

Recurring Format:

• Each band’s song is played and then dissected by the crew. Ratings (typically 1–10) are given, with feedback often blending genuine critique with comedic ridicule.

Notable Band Reviews:

---

A. Memorable Playdio Tracks/Critiques

1. A Billion Beats – “Digital Ghosts” [67:15]

• Synthy, dark, pop-tinged rock track. Generally well-received.
  • “It reminded me of Altar Bridge a little bit ... a less gay version of Corey Feldman ... Corn and System of a Down had a gay baby, but I liked it.” – John ([71:32])
  • Scores: 6, 6, 7 (collective praise for “sounding professional”).

2. DJ Bathsheba – “Fire and Freedom” [86:11]

• Big, radio-ready, country/soul-tinged anthem by a breast cancer warrior/trucker/philanthropist.
  • The panel is in awe:

    “What the hell is she doing in this contest? ... I’m a tone guy. When you hear someone's song, like their first words, you can tell if they can sing everything. ... DJ Bathsheba has a voice.” – John ([89:13])

  • “Not sure if I'm supposed to admit this during Playdio ... I'm half hard listening to this song.” – Brett ([90:26])
  • “This could be on K and IX tomorrow.” – John ([91:41])
  • Scores: 9, 10, 9 (almost unanimous perfection. The only critique: too “rah rah girl power” for one judge)

3. Rat Trap 520 – “Rail” [61:30]

• “Trap metal” from Tucson—panned:
  • “If heroin could sing.” – John ([62:13])
  • “Change the name of that band to Meth Personified.” – John ([64:43])
  • Criticized for disorganization, endless bio, and “the kitchen sink” approach.

4. Rob Menino – “Orange Sky” [115:49]

• Classic, Springsteen/Mellencamp-flavored bar rock. Gets derided and lampooned, but the infectious “Rob Menino” refrain becomes a running gag.
  • “What do you call yourself? I call myself Rob Menino. What do you call yourself, jackass? I'm Rob Menino.” – John ([111:41])
  • Spawns a series of impromptu “theme songs” and commercial jingles.
  • “Bruce Springsteen after hormone treatment ... just sounded like he was out of breath ... knocked the Wind out of me when I fell down the steps. Rob Menino.” ([118:47])

5. Instrumentals and the Death of the Singer

• A band submits a purely instrumental, overproduced track:
  • “All right. Instrumentals don't work. ... If you need a singer, there's a guy named Rob Menino. He's out there. He could put words to that.” ([144:38])

6. Lady Strange & the Rights – “Stuck In Motion” [155:01]

• Criticized for disastrous production and indecipherable vocals:
  • “Was someone murdered? ... the word ‘no’ was never said in production.” ([156:46])
  • “I felt like Brady in the beginning. Is someone singing or am I just not hearing?” – John

---

6. Playdio – “Too Good To Be Real?” and Live Event Drama

• Several top-scoring bands are unable to perform live—causing the crew to joke about the contest being “rigged” for in-house favorites.

  • DJ Bathsheba, a truck driver, can't get back in time. Reckless Eden and Witness Protection can’t make it either (both “perfect ten” scorers).
  • “So far so good on that. She's AI until she proves otherwise.” – Brett ([184:35])
  • “Congratulations, Rob Menino. You're our champion.” – John ([187:20])

• Solution: They contemplate moving the live final to the following week to get the best bands there.

---

7. Miscellaneous Memorable Moments

• Menstrual Blood Face Masks & Placenta Pills: A long, animated, and comedic rant about shocking beauty trends and broadcast standards ([19:19]–[22:59]).
• Fake Compliments: On Lena Dunham being called brave for onscreen nudity in “Girls”:

  “If you’re calling someone who’s naked ‘brave,’ you’re insulting them. Try it with your wife tonight ... It’s not a compliment.” ([23:16])

• Rob Menino Running Gag: The crew continually breaks into song or parody commercials using his “melodic” name as punchline ([122:29], [125:06]).
• Band Bios & Band Drama: Several bands have bios longer than their songs (Rat Trap 520’s ever-expanding member count). Others have internal drama (One Star Night is not a band anymore; submitted “Piss Ball Pete” as a goof).
• Use of AI in Music: Discussed in the context of submissions—whether it’s cheating, and how technology is changing the creative process ([46:47]).

---

8. Host/Panel Quotes – Notable and Hilarious

• [19:29] “Call me Wilford Brimley. I don't care how good I look putting that stuff on.” – Brett
• [61:30] “If heroin could sing.” – John on Rat Trap 520
• [90:26] “Not sure if I'm supposed to admit this during Palladio ... I'm half hard listening to this song.” – Brett, after DJ Bathsheba’s song
• [111:41] “What do you call yourself? I call myself Rob Menino. What do you call yourself, jackass? I'm Rob Menino.” – John
• [174:26] “That song did. That was a fun song. 16 second song can be fun and silly and we gave it a good score cuz it got us.” – John, on “Piss Ball Pete”
• [91:48] “This could be on K and IX tomorrow. No one would hear.” – John on DJ Bathsheba’s “Fire and Freedom”
• [62:13] “Jesus Christ, if heroin could sing.” – John, on Rat Trap 520

---

CONCLUSION / FINAL THOUGHTS

Best Playdio Ever?

• The hosts and core listeners agree that this is one of the best Playdio years ever, with a higher proportion of actually talented bands, despite logistical issues for the live show.

Classic HMS:

• The episode is packed with stream-of-consciousness riffs, sharply witty critiques, old-man storytelling, and an equal-opportunity teasing of both good and bad bands.
• It demonstrates HMS’s ability to walk the line between sincere local support and the relentless mockery that makes them compelling radio.

---

ADDITIONAL NOTES

• Live Event: Playdio final is moved a week to accommodate top bands and ensure the best live show—pending, of course, that DJ Bathsheba can park her truck and show up.
• Listener Engagement: Listeners are encouraged to sing “Rob Menino” as a prank for their family just to spread the joke.

[Toledo]

[e-mail] Good morning everybody.

[John]

Hello there. Welcome to Tuesday, which is sort of like a Thursday and a half this week. Nobody's coming to work with any serious intention tomorrow. This is great. I love three day weeks. We say four day weeks. What's wrong with a three day? What's Wrong. With a one day week and they're just really busted out. I'd do that a 24 hour workday and then just crush out the next six. Be fine with that. Uh, it's 5:45. Hi there. My name's John. There's Brady. There's Brett. There's Toledo. This the morning sickness Day two of Palladio yesterday went swimmingly well, started off little shaky, but really hit its stride and in a big way hit its stride with a couple of the best songs I've heard in a long time, local or otherwise. They were great. So Palladio's got a great start going. Now. Our top two bands from yesterday scored perfect tens across the board. Neither of them can be there tonight. Bastards. So we're. We'll have to. We'll have to go with lesser than. But we still had a good group yesterday.

[Brett Vesely]

Third, fourth and fifth.

[John]

Yeah, so far. Yeah. Third, fourth and fifth are going to be really important to us this year because. And I'm going to say the guy that, that did that. What was the name of the band that Brents in?

[Brett Vesely]

Reckless Eden.

[John]

Reckless Eden, that's right. Oh, no, no, that's not Witness Protection.

[Byron]

Oh, that's right.

[John]

Yeah, yeah, Witness Protection. Reckless Witness Protection is the guy who sends Brett all those horrible videos. He's one of the contributors of that. That was the guy who put that together. I always thought he just started sat in a dark basement watching dark web videos all day long and. And that was the end of it. Like, you know, he just, you know, masturbated to people getting hurt and then went. Turned the lights that weren't really even on in the first place off and sat in a cold, cold corner like the Blair Witch and then woke up and did it again tomorrow. Turns out he's pretty talented guy who's.

[Brett Vesely]

Got who to know him.

[John]

But I'm also telling everybody since he can't make it tonight, he's a fraud. And everything was AI. There's nothing about him that was real. He left a nice letter with an expert.

[Byron]

Looks a little questionable.

[John]

It's an excuse. It was a long excuse why nobody could be there. And it's like you son of a.

[Brett Vesely]

He said he'll be there next year.

[John]

That's a year we might not. Brady's not going to be here next year. We don't think we're going to be here.

[Brett Vesely]

I forgot about that.

[John]

Crying out loud. We can't count on next year. We're day to day. It's like an alcoholic, this show. It's like every day is a special gift.

[Byron]

This midway, maybe.

[John]

Maybe do Palladio in June or something. Sure.

[Brett Vesely]

We can figure something out.

[John]

We got to figure out if the hospital. Brady will be dying. And we'll. We'll have us in there with a podcast from there. Yeah, yeah. Maybe we'll just do. By then, we'll have holograms and stuff. It'll be neat. The future last night, speaking of the future in the past and all that stuff. I don't know if you guys watched for a little bit the football game. Shy had no interest in either team. So I'm watching the Niners for a minute. I'm like, the Carolina Panthers might as well be a college team or a Canadian team when they're on. They're everything. I don't want to watch about football. And I don't know why. I think it's. The uniforms are sleepy. They haven't been good a lot lately. Just kind of. And I have no. I don't care if they win or lose. They do nothing. So I kind of tuned out and I flipped over to the Everybody loves Raymond 30th anniversary, right? Or I guess that. Yeah, it was the anniversary of the 30th year since everybody Loves Raymond was on the air, which is just unbelievable. And they brought out Ray Romano and Patricia Heaton and Brad Garrett and the kids that were on there. They didn't look so good, but Brad Garrett and Patricia Heaton and Ray Romano all looked fantastic. And it got me thinking about how we preserve differently than we used to. Because I remember when I was a kid, they did a thing with Lucy, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. I don't remember if it was on Carson or whatever. It was like 15 years after their show was over. And they're showing some clips. Might have been like early 80s. I don't remember when Desi died, but Desi, it was like the two of them, ever since they went off the tv, just ate, you know, rocks and gargled glass. Like, they're just like, Lucy, what did you think of this scene? They'd show the scene of her. Oh, Ricky. And she's going on and on. And then like, Lucy, when you remember filming that, she's like, yeah, when we filmed that, I was. I was 31 years old. And I'm like, Jesus Christ, it's been 10 years. What happened to you? Desi comes out. He's just liver spots all over. Many memories together. I don't remember Nono, then Gaga. It's like, what in the hell happened? Now 30 years goes by, the clips come up. Yeah, they look younger, but they look better. Like Ray and Patricia Heaton look better today than they did in the show 30 years ago back then. And you know what it is?

[Byron]

The old Hollywood Grinder.

[John]

No. So I went, I looked. Why are we aging better? Why are we preserving so much better? Why is a 60 year old Ray Romano's gonna be 68 next week or next month? And I'm looking, I'm like, he looks fantastic. Why? Two things. Cigarettes, Lead. We took lead out of gasoline and that's like contributed to our bodies reacting so differently to aging. It's lead.

[Brett Vesely]

Drink, Jack Daniels and unfiltered Camels all the time.

[John]

Constantly just smoking.

[Byron]

Say, that's more pure.

[John]

Damn. Well, sure, I guess, if you want to.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John]

But I mean, I even looked up the clip of Lucille Ball talking about the old Lucy. She was even like eight years when I saw her removed from the Lucy show. And I think it was on Carson. Not, not the thing I was watching. But I remember when I was a kid, I think it was on Carson. And she sat there and when she laughed, I just remember going, is that. Is that the same woman that we laugh at every day in that black and white show? At 1. And she sat and she just said, Johnny said something. Oh. Oh, yeah, that was a rough one there, Johnny. Like, when did she turn into Krusty the Clown? Had to. I'm taking a bath on this one. So it's. It bodes well for us as aging goes, because then, you know, when you look at Wilford Brimley and you realize that I am now five years older than Wilford Brimley was when he filmed the Natural. I mean, that in itself is enough to say, okay, something's going on. We're all getting fatter, which helps wrinkles. That might be a thing. But the natural fillers, they said that lead, there was lead in a ton of stuff back in the 50s, 60s, 70s. And gasoline was a big one. And we had lead in our. In everything. And they removed lead from everything. And I think it. I think it fixed a lot of.

[Brett Vesely]

And asbestos, too.

[John]

Asbestos was a thing. Yeah, all that stuff. They didn't care about cigarettes that nobody was warned about. But there's Ray. Oh, we had a great time. The show was always fun. That's right, Raymond. We had a wonderful program. Like, they sound. And look, Brad Garrett's a little gravelly and he smokes, but it was. I mean, he's 66. Patricia Heaton looks amazing. She's in her 60s. Lucy, I looked it up, was 62. Ricky. I had a great time on the show. Anyway, it's time to go.

[Byron]

Lived in a lead house.

[John]

There was episodes of those game shows. I watched the old ones and Super Password with Bert conveys on. And occasionally Lucy was a guest on that Way past Lucy's Relevance. And she did Super Password and she was like, mean. And she looked a thousand. And I remember looking once and she was like 72. My dad just killed something at 8,000 elevation and carried it down the picture of this. I don't know what that thing was. An elk or something. And he texted me, he's 78. And he just. I'm like, we're doing something different. Something ain't right now. It's growing all sorts of bubbles and weird stuff in our body that we'll never control. Whatever we are currently doing, but it's different. So in a weird way, I guess we've got that. So at least we're all gonna look better in the coffin. Because Lucy didn't look good living the last 10 years.

[Byron]

You just think. I mean, look back at those old. Even the high school pictures, I know you could say something about what they're wearing, but, like, I look at my.

[John]

Grandfather, he was 61 in high school. Yeah, it looked ancient then. It's weird. But, yeah, watching that last night, that's really. The takeaway was. And that and the fact that Everybody Loves Raymond was a great show, but not iconic at all. I don't remember anything from it. Like, when they were showing clips, I'm like, oh, yeah, the girl that ate the fly. That's a funny episode. I have not thought about that since I first watched it back in, like, 1999. It's a great show. It was hilarious. But, you know, Seinfeld, you could pick episodes of stuff Everybody Loves Raymond as a. If you start quoting that. Huh? Oh, that was the episode where Robert. And you don't remember him talking about he was in the car and they poured jelly in it. Okay. No one remembers it, but it was, you know, it was an interesting. It was a trip down memory lane where everybody actually looks better. Patricia Heaton had some work done, but good work, so it wasn't so bad. I think Ray did, too. It's interesting. And then the people who aren't there, you know, died. Peter Boyle, the dad, Doris Roberts, the mother. They passed away a few years ago, but they were like 80 when the show was on. It was interesting. It was a very interesting.

[Brett Vesely]

So the kids Aren't holding it together too well.

[John]

They were all real brothers and sisters. So if you remember, there were twins and the girl, okay, they were the Sweetens and Jody Sweeten, their sister was on Full House. So they had this like acting family of kids. So the two boy twins, one of them killed himself a few years ago. And then the, the sisters gotten bigger, a little fluffy. She's bigger. Yeah, but they were, you know, they were real depressing. Part of the 30th reunion when they drug out the twins and one of them killed himself. And then like there was like a 10 minute thing for suicide hotline on the comedy show and I'm like, this is no good.

[Brett Vesely]

They're going to a shinedown concert.

[John]

Yeah, exactly. It's exactly what it was. Are we going to talk about suicide the whole time? I thought it was a funny show. I would rather not talk about suicide right now, Raymond. If we could just skip it. If we could double expose the twin kid and make it seem like his twin still here. That's a good idea, Robert. It was good though. But I, I couldn't get over that they used to do, you know, one of the stupidest shows that's ever lived on television and made Legends. These people, this whole family needs to give their money back was Roy Rogers and Tail Evans way back in the day. I loved old TV when I was a kid and I've recently revisited that in the last few years. The old Roy Rogers show which just proved our grandparents were dumb because weird. It's so weird. They had. It was an old western where occasionally people would drive except Roy and like he would get on his horse and ride places and then another dude would get in it. 1943 Jeep and he'd go somewhere. I'm like, what? What year? And then Roy would ride into town sometimes and there were like bars and like people driving in in wagons and stuff. And Roy would get offered a ride and be like, no, they take off in the old west and like you, no, no, you're not in the old West. You're po. And they talk about World War II sometimes. Like, why is he still on a horse?

[Byron]

I don't even know. You know, a couple times. You see, it doesn't feel like it's a. It's like a reality show.

[John]

I don't know what the hell that.

[Byron]

They'Re living at home. But then crime happens.

[John]

Yeah, they'd have like a crime and then they go out and solve it on the horse. Like the crazy guy with a horse. And there were other People who were still stuck in, like, 1903. And then the rest of them had moved on to. That's when we come back from the war. He hasn't been the same. I'm like, what war? Like the Civil War? The Spanish American? Nope. WW2. And they mentioned the Germans. And I'm like, how dumb. How literally dumb was everyone to just go, that's fine, we'll accept that. It's like, why is he still. He's in a city with car. They had a car dealership in one of the episodes. Like, the. Like, even the writers were like, roy. Maybe if Roy rides by a car dealership, he'll think, I'm. I gotta get rid of this horse.

[Brett Vesely]

New Oldsmobiles are in early this year.

[John]

But Trigger became a star.

[Byron]

Were they in Burbank? Where were they?

[John]

Well, they had to be in Hollywood. Yeah. I mean, I have no idea. Well, no, where they were, where they were supposed to be. The fake thing. Now they were in some fake city in, like, Iowa. But they had this weird sidekick, and he drove his Jeep, and his Jeep had a name, and it was. Our grandparents were stupid and they ate lead and they smoked like crazy. And they're. And they died looking terrible.

[Byron]

Before that, their parents ran out of the theater when they saw a movie.

[John]

Oh, well, that was. Yeah, the first movies. The CMOs. There's people on the walls and they're gigantic. My grandma. I've seen pictures of my grandma in the last year or so when I'm like, look at her. Did she ever have any different clothes? And she didn't. And I'm looking and I'm like, how old was grandma here? And I remember my aunt going, guess. And I'm like, well, I'm. I can do the math, but I'll throw a quick guess just on looks that she's 62. 46. She was 46 years old.

[Byron]

Look at the houses. Look at the closets were two by three.

[John]

Well, my grandparents could come here for a month and a half. Both of them packed in one small backpack, briefcase. My grandpa had a pair of pants and a shirt on and a pair of pants and a shirt in the suitcase and some underwear. Oh, and also occasionally some weird pajama thing that was so flimsy it would fit. My grandma had a T shirt, a pair of, like, sweatpants, the shirt she had on and the shirt she. And the pants she had on. And she would take off her pants and shirt, put on the sweatshirt and T shirt, wash that pants and shirt, and put it right back on every single day, she wore the same thing. It was remarkable. And it worked. You know, casual. We could take him to restaurants and not be too embarrassed. But she was also, at that time, 60. She wasn't that old. It's weird.

[Brett Vesely]

How many suitcase? One for both of them.

[John]

One for both. And I'm not kidding, Brett. It was the size of like a kid's backpack for school.

[Brett Vesely]

How long are they staying out here?

[Toledo]

Month.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, my God.

[John]

I know.

[Brett Vesely]

I can't even go to Vegas for a weekend. And Matthias got two bags.

[John]

I have to check bags. Oh, me too. And. And they would every day walk from my house to Safeway to get what they wanted for dinner that night. And it was about a mile and a half walk. They were in pretty good shape for it. And. But they'd pick the worst times ever to do it, which was right when Dobson High School was getting at like 2:52pm they'd leave and then. Oh, the traffic coming out of that school is just. And the things they say. I'm like, what do they say? Oh, I would never repeat it, Bill, what'd they call you? Snowbirds. I'm like, snowbirds? Yeah, that's a thing. Assholes. They called us that. We were crossing the road. I'm like, jesus, what do you say back? Well, I just flip him off, call him a prick. That was his go to Prince. But they, you know, then you go back and you realize that was like 1990. My grandpa was 68 and he was just gravelly voiced. It was like it looked like he'd been drugged through a fire. It's amazing. So the good news is we're aging better. The bad news is we're aging into weirder things. So God knows what's going to get you, but at least you're going to be pretty. Your skin's going to be preserved. And also, I'd like to make the cry out before we start Palladio this year and get to the Brady Report that we can allow full frontal and full all full, all nudity is allowed on broadcast television and we should be allowed to cuss on the radio.

[Brett Vesely]

I agree.

[John]

All we want the fcc. I'm done with you. Because I saw on the news this morning a repeat story of it. Pictures of women whose faces were covered in their own menstrual blood as some sort of a thing to say, it's good for your skin. If I can see a woman covered in period blood on her skin, I can see breasts and not be offended. If I can see that my old Argument to this was, if I can see a baby's ass running all over the place. A disgusting, fat little tube of human infant. And they show those things naked all the time. There was a show the other day that did a close up on a baby being wiped. I'm like, come on. And if that's. If that's too much. Not too much for us to see. I can see a nice woman's breasts and not lose my mind or over sexualize everything. And also I should be allowed to cuss. Because if you can watch women with menstrual blood on their face, you can hear the F word and not freak the F out. Yeah. Beauty influencers are encouraging skin care influencers and to save their menstrual blood for facial scrub.

[Byron]

Yeah. How proven?

[John]

Proven. Nothing's proven. I mean, we do look better. So maybe if these ladies are doing it and it starts to work. But I. That is an immediate.

[Brett Vesely]

Call me Wilford Brinley. I don't care how good I look putting that stuff on.

[John]

Can you imagine?

[Toledo]

No way.

[John]

Coming home to Mathias tonight with a blood. And she's got face. A blood mask. Yeah. All over her face. I'm like, where'd you get all that? Was that jelly? There's clots and chunks in it and stuff. What is that? Oh, my menstrual cup. I pour it on my face when I'm done. Like, we're done here.

[Brett Vesely]

Cordell and Cordell.

[John]

Cordell and Cordell won't take the case.

[Brett Vesely]

That's probably true.

[John]

They don't want to be close to her. It's horrifying. And that's a thing on tv. And I saw it last night, and I saw it again this morning.

[Brett Vesely]

Not going home today?

[John]

No. Just in case. Every time she starts cramping, do like the Bible says, only in reverse. You leave for seven days. I've said it once. I've said it a million times. The Bible's right about one thing. For shorts. The only science in the whole goddamn deal. When a woman's bleeding, she has to leave the town for seven days. And don't touch anything. It's in your book.

[Byron]

Maybe that's.

[Brett Vesely]

Read it.

[Byron]

When they left town. You got to leave town when you're doing it. And that's where they did all the facials in the case.

[John]

Do whatever you want. You had to leave town.

[Brett Vesely]

The Mary Kay party in the cave.

[John]

They sent you out on. Maybe that's where it's like. Maybe that's where it was inherited. Like, years down, we just get together and talk about facial creams because they had no options. Back in the day. The second you cramped, oh my tummy guy would throw you in a wagon. They'd take you outside of the city limits and drop you off and like, don't touch anything now. I mean it. If you touch something, they'd burn it.

[Brett Vesely]

Now that would make America great again.

[John]

You know, make the world great again. Make Afghanistan great again, you know, as the cradle. And they built walls around their townspeople. And the ladies weren't allowed inside if they were bleeding. It was, it was lovely. It was a great gesture. Saying they know the ladies didn't fight back because if they did, they got it.

[Toledo]

They got it.

[John]

And if they touched anything, they would pick that thing up and they'd light it on fire. That was when things mattered.

[Byron]

Maybe that's why Donald wants to someone do the remake of Bloodsport.

[John]

It's a great movie though. A lot of guys with their shirts off. I'm into that. It's weird though, but they say that there's a group of people for the Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology found that menstrual blood derived plasma can infect or indeed facilitate tissue repair and wound healing. So it's, you know, I'll take Neosporin. I, I'll, you know, if I got, if I got time. Neosporin's better to me than spread that.

[Byron]

On a band aid and put it over your boo boo.

[John]

And then you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, put it on there like Vegemite and then put a little gauze over it. And evidently it's got healing powers. I'd rather have scars if I ever looked in my fridge and saw menstrual juice.

[Byron]

That's two things this week, that one, the facial blood. And then they're making pills out of the placenta.

[John]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, there might be some. Something to it. A placenta. At least it's not a Rub your fridge. Like, what is it? Placenta pills. Well, at least it's been manufactured to look like something else. Some lady just reaching down there and dabbing like Fred Flintstone, like she's Sherwin Williams and she's just painting her face. And if I get to see that on tv, then I get to see some breasts because I almost threw up. I almost called you want an exchange? I almost called you. Yeah, if that's okay. To where it's like, you can see this. It's natural. What's more natural than a boob or a butt? Yeah, they freak out every time. Nipples on tv. But I can watch this.

[Brett Vesely]

Lena Dunham. We need to have standards.

[John]

Exactly.

[Brett Vesely]

We need to have standards.

[John]

Good ones. But, you know, good comes with bad sometimes. And you know, what if we had better breasts on tv. Lena Dunham's bravery of being nude, which I still say was the greatest moment the show ever had. When I pointed that out to a lady, I'm like, if you're calling someone who's naked brave, you're insulting them. Try it with your wife tonight. She gets out of the shower and go, oh, so brave. So brave to be naked. You. It's not a compliment. But every. Every magazine, every TV show, duh. Lena Dunham, brave as ever.

[Byron]

Clapton say, you look so brave tonight.

[John]

Never. No. Nope. You never once said, she's in lingerie, she's brave. I'm gonna get some. It's never been a compliment. Calling a woman who's trying to be hot brave is the worst insult of all time. I believe I said that the first season Girls came out. I'm like, why is brave, like, women are flipping out over bravery? Nude brave is a. You know, killing a. An Afghani in 2010, that was a brave. Like, he's getting. Being in war. Fat girl getting naked's not brave. It's not for television. Disgusting.

[Toledo]

Bold.

[John]

Yeah. And a fat guy getting naked, running around. It's never been called brave. He's been called hilarious. Yeah. So anyway, if I can see. See menstrual blood on a woman's face on tv, I can see breasts. I'm growed up enough for that.

[Brett Vesely]

So if you came home and opened the fridge and there's a cup of.

[John]

It in there, I'd go full old Testament on the house. I'd stone her to death. And then I'd burn the house down.

[Brett Vesely]

I'd go, 100. Robert Fisher killing everybody in the house.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John]

Yeah. And I wouldn't even try to get away. I'd go, opposite of Robert Fisher. I'm like, I did this for all mankind. I'd be on TV that night, and they'd be like, you know what? That's bravery. None of that Lena Dunham stuff. This guy's a hero. You're free to go, sir. I don't need a lawyer. I think the judge is going to understand. So long as it's a man. Even a woman doesn't want that. Like, a good woman judge would be like, he's right. So knock it off. Your. Your period period juice is gross. Ugh. I just keep it next to the cranberry juice. Well, there was an incident this morning because I didn't turn the lights on to keep everybody happy, and I drank it. Oh, it's not cranberry. It's not cranberry juice. And I've got a uti. And now I never want to talk to you again. I saw my face. Looks pretty for you. You think I want to touch that face? You could wash with fire. And I don't want to touch your period face. It's gross. Knock it off. There's so many products out there. Ellen has a great facial cream. Just use hers. And it's not period Ellen. Then that's what's gonna start happening then. Celebrity. Yeah, you do. That's illegal to sell that. And then celebrities are gonna start it, though. If it becomes a trend where you can start buying Cindy Crawford's period blood.

[Brett Vesely]

Well, Gwyneth Paltrow will be the first one.

[Byron]

You're right.

[John]

Quit being so gross and acting like we have to accept that we can say something. Speaking of things that we have to accept. That's plato. It's coming up in seconds. We got a Brady Report that's going to come up next. Yeah, maybe by the end of it, we'll be rubbing period blood on go. It's not so bad. We got Palladio coming up. We're going to do a Brady Report next, and then we're going to get right to it. Palladio will close up today, and then tonight we head on down to Copper Blues downtown next to Stand Up Live. And we watched the five bands who were available to us battle it out for the championship. Even though we got two songs here, those guys were so good, we can just graduate them right onto the radio, I think. Yeah, but let's just get right to who's going to win Playdoh. We'll find out next.

Still streaming, Homburg's morning sickness. There's Alice in Chains right there. Man in the box it is. Holy cow. 6:23. And we're gonna go early with a quick Brady report because we've gotta have one. We've got to be informed. And I'm proud to say I made a guy throw up his when I mentioned that I drank the period blood rather than the cranberries. I don't drink cranberry juice. What's wrong? I mean, UTI drink it with vodka. I guess that's okay. But just don't keep those two things close together. And then Rochelle says, oh, that's disgusting. And then she sent me information about what a vampire facial is. And that's taking the blood out of your body and spinning it. Prp, which is really good for you. Prp. And then they put it. They inject it back in your body most of the time into an area that needs, you know, it's. It's called healing. It's pure blood. Yes, you can heal, but they also do it to where they'll spin it, put it in, and mix it with something else. You can rub it on your body. That one doesn't bother as much because it's not menstrual blood. And then Rochelle says, I know, so gross. Menstrual blood has a bunch of other stuff in it, too. And I stopped reading the email right after that because I don't want to. I don't want a laundry list of what's in there.

[Byron]

Roots and stuff.

[John]

More proof that if he can see it on tv, then we can do anything with cuss and scream and anything we want on tv. Nudity.

[Brett Vesely]

Unless you have a doctor in front of your name, woman or not, you shouldn't know it's in period blood anyway.

[John]

Yeah, yeah, throw it away. Walk the earth. David says, john, if you could rub period blood on your head and found out that it grows hair back. Would you do it? What? If Brady could rub it on his belly and grow a kidney back? Brady's got one kid. You're fine.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, he would.

[John]

Oh. Would you rub menstrual blood on there to grow a kidney back?

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[Byron]

Yeah. Sounds like fun.

[John]

Disgusting. How are you gonna. How are you gonna survive the bullet, though, that Brett or I will put in you when we find out you're walking around here with menstrual blood all over your belly? Oh, we gotta kill him anyway. What a twist.

[Byron]

You know what it'd be like when you're wearing, like, Ben Gay or something like that?

[John]

No, it's not. No, it's nothing like that. It's the smell. Maybe to where somebody asked, but the second it's revealed, it's Ben Gay. Nobody goes, oh, my God, kill him. But you say, oh, it's my wife's menstrual cycle. I wear it on my belly. Oh, Brett, go get your gun. I gotta kill Brady. He's gone crazy. We'll get to that in a little bit.

[Toledo]

Hello, world. Hi.

[Byron]

Happy National Play day with dad and National Parfait day.

[John]

Sorry, Richard.

[Byron]

What do you mean?

[John]

Well, hi, Richard.

[Byron]

You can forward it with Alex.

[John]

Still, though, deep down in his brain.

[Brett Vesely]

He don't want to do that.

[John]

You know what he's thinking? Yeah. You know what he's thinking? Yeah. God, I wish I never got this with my dad. And his dad's still around. Like it could happen.

[Brett Vesely]

That's true.

[Byron]

Couple of basis fun facts. The world's largest island in a freshwater lake is in Manitoulin on Lake huron. It's over 1,000 square miles. It's a big island.

[John]

That'S small.

[Byron]

All octopuses are orphans. Male octopuses die right after they mate and the female octopuses die right after they hatch their eggs.

[Toledo]

Wow.

[John]

They're on their own. By the way, Scott Haynes came up with a great idea is every time your wife rubs that stuff all over her face, take her out into the woods and let the bears have at her. I like that too. Let's go to the ocean and start swimming around.

[Byron]

Maybe grizzly man knew that.

[John]

Yeah, maybe. But yeah, just hey, look, let's go over to the SeaWorld and see the sharks.

[Byron]

Alec Guinness didn't like being in Star wars. So he suggested to George Lucas that he should kill off the Obi Wan Kenobi character to get him out of it. But he also made a fortune movies. His contract he negotiated two point. Well, two and a quarter of George's royalties.

[John]

He got two points on it.

[Byron]

Yep.

[John]

Wow. That did pretty well.

[Toledo]

Man.

[Brett Vesely]

I'd have found some other old man.

[John]

That's pretty good. Yeah. Some other little cheaper.

[Byron]

You're doing that deal right at the beginning. You have no idea.

[John]

He was really the only star in it. James Earl Jones did the voice, but Alec Guinness was the only one. You're like, whoa. Harrison Ford was in a couple movies, but nothing.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, like American Graffiti and a couple.

[John]

Of them, but nothing special.

[Byron]

An etiquette expert says Thanksgiving host shouldn't have their Christmas tree up yet. Appropriate timing depends on whether you're. You are hosting. If you are, she says, wait, let Thanksgiving happen.

[John]

Yeah, it's a separate put your trip give Thanksgiving it's due is what they're saying.

[Byron]

But a lot of people, I think like if they're putting up, they like to impress people.

[John]

They do that. You're impressed by a tree that their.

[Byron]

Christmas decorations are up and it's Jesus.

[John]

How Jonesy are you? If that's the case, you can't go to someone else without getting.

[Corey]

Didn't you see them last year?

[John]

Yeah, yeah. It's like, oh, they have theirs up.

[Byron]

And we don't trees up in homes already.

[John]

Oh, sure, yeah.

[Corey]

But I mean, it's the same tree, right? Same tree.

[John]

But if it's for Jones factor of right. We actually got our work done first.

[Byron]

Yeah.

[John]

You move out of that neighborhood. That's weird.

[Byron]

Another survey of Thanksgiving Food said 40% of people said get rid of the Green bean casserole.

[John]

Completely agree.

[Byron]

35 said cranberry sauce.

[John]

Don't get it. That's awful, too.

[Byron]

16% sweet potatoes or yams.

[John]

I go right back to my.

[Brett Vesely]

I don't like that.

[John]

I don't either. I write back to my argument. If you're not eating it during the year, it's bad food. It's tradition. You're eating tradition. You're not eating something. You actually like cranberries. You don't just pile down cranberries in June. Yeah, it's never happened, do you? Yeah, here and there. But they're not even easy to find. They started making sweet potato french fries at places. Pissing me off. They'd mix them. Remember when they do that and didn't tell you? Some of your fries were orange. Like, what the hell are these? Oh, I didn't. Not on purpose. I didn't. I'm not a fan at all.

[Brett Vesely]

Matthia loves those things.

[John]

Rather rub menstrual blood on my food. Let's not get carry.

[Toledo]

Well, I wouldn't.

[John]

I wouldn't eat either one.

[Brett Vesely]

It's up there.

[John]

I'm not. I'm not eating either one. But yeah, Sweet potatoes are the menstrual blood of the potato family. It's that time of the month for the potato. That's why it's that weird orange stain. Yeah, that and the green bean casserole. Nobody whips one of those up in April. Yeah, you just don't tamales. It's back to my tamale argument. If there were. If they were as good as everybody says, there'd be tamale restaurants, and there's not. It's like the 10th thing you would order if you were to Mexican restaurant. You're like, all right, I'll have a burrito. We're out of burritos.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, wow.

[John]

How'd you do that? Have a taco. We are out of tacos. What do you have? Tamales? I'm going to La Pinata. I'm leaving. Like you wouldn't stick around for the pina? That they're not that good.

[Byron]

Why don't you take some of that paste and throw some meat in it?

[John]

Yeah, you got enough for that? We made them. We pre make them in a bucket. Yeah, I know.

[Byron]

Up in a corn husk.

[John]

I saw Abuela back there rolling them up. And you know we have Saran Wrap now. See, See, we prefer the corn husk. Oh, God. Worst food on the planet.

[Byron]

Cops in North Carolina responded to a domestic dispute on Friday after a guy threatened to light A woman on fire when she wouldn't grab him a beer.

[Brett Vesely]

Where's the problem?

[Byron]

It happened In Silva, North Carolina, about 40 miles west of Asheville. Patrick Tyson was doing some day drinking or morning drinking in this 7:00am it's not clear if the woman was his girlfriend, but she told the cops he threatened to light her on fire and actually tried to do it. He grabbed a bottle of rubbing alcohol, poured it on the couch she was on, and lit. Burned the couch and set her shirt on fire. Luckily, she was able to put that out. She didn't get burned too bad, but the cops said it was enough.

[John]

Was she asleep?

[Byron]

No, she was just sitting on the couch.

[John]

How fast I can get off a couch that's on fire?

[Brett Vesely]

How big is this broad?

[John]

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

[Byron]

He's facing multiple charges, including first degree arson, felony assault with a deadly weapon. Now identify what Patrick Tyson looks like.

[John]

Patrick Tyson lit his fat girlfriend on fire. Couldn't get off the couch fast enough to not get lit on fire, too.

[Corey]

Not to disparage him, but I'm gonna guess a little bit like Wolfgang Van Halen.

[John]

Okay. The old before he lost someone.

[Brett Vesely]

Where are they at again?

[Byron]

North Carolina.

[Corey]

Oh, man.

[Brett Vesely]

I'm gonna go killer Mike size.

[John]

He's a big black guy.

[Toledo]

Yeah. Wow.

[John]

I'm gonna say he's real stringy, kind of almost Children of the Corn. Real hillbilly. Narrow, slender man look with bad facial hair. That's real gross. And then she's just.

[Corey]

I don't know if you're identifying both.

[Brett Vesely]

Just a beast.

[John]

You have a picture of her?

[Byron]

I don't have a picture.

[John]

I don't think there's. I don't think the Hubble was working that day.

[Byron]

They had one picture. They had a picture. It was burnt.

[John]

Okay, she's burnt. She started to eat herself. All right. Yeah. We all have different answers. Oh, it's fine. It's George Jefferson.

[Brett Vesely]

James Brown.

[John]

George Jefferson. I would have never guessed. He is so black. He's opaque in the photo. Yeah. That is a dark human being. Oh, is he. Is that him or was he burned as well?

[Byron]

That was him.

[John]

Okay. I'm just making sure that that was straight up. Yeah. That's not soot. I don't know if it was covered in soot, because that wasn't. That wasn't your normal African American.

[Byron]

It does look like his hair might have gotten.

[John]

I think he's been burned a little bit because that is that photograph. Remember when they got mad because they darkened OJ in that Time this dude got the full treatment. His mug shot is OJ With a black crayon. Yeah, he doesn't look good. He looks like Bundini Brown. You got to Google that. But Muhammad Ali's hype man had the weirdest hair I've ever seen in my life. All right, Brad, I'm assuming you've got a couple videos for us before we get in.

[Brett Vesely]

I'm looking at Bundini Brown.

[Toledo]

Oh, wow.

[John]

Yeah, he's got Bundini's hair. Bundini wasn't as dark as this. No. Yeah. Portrayal of him.

[Byron]

I did send one to Toledo. Didn't want. Sure. If we're gonna do it. It's just a. It's a new one.

[John]

Oh, you got a video, a new person, a new cripple.

[Byron]

Yeah. Not cripples.

[John]

Yes. You don't like to say that word, but yes, it is. What is it, then? I'll let you define it.

[Byron]

Facial problems.

[John]

Cripple. I don't. Crippling, facial problems. We can say that safely.

[Byron]

Say yes.

[John]

Yeah.

[Byron]

Yes.

[Corey]

Crippling.

[John]

Diseased. Just the face.

[Byron]

Not sure if it's. Yeah.

[John]

As far as I stops at the neck.

[Byron]

Yeah.

[John]

You don't know what kind of disease it is.

[Corey]

No, it doesn't stop at the neck. If you didn't watch the whole thing.

[Byron]

I watched it and I blanked it on a little bit of it. I just made sure it made the cut.

[John]

He's congested. Give him a break. Everything is congestion. He's dying because he's congested. Okay. She looks like Jabba the Hut.

[Byron]

Is that real? She does have nub holes.

[John]

She's got Jabba face.

[Brett Vesely]

What is the bride from North Carolina?

[John]

She's got, like. Yes, that's it.

[Byron]

Got a nice black widow tattoo, though.

[John]

It looks like if I tried to draw Emma Stone. Yes, there's some sort of similarity there. Oh, good Christ. Brady. What are you doing with your free time?

[Byron]

Just.

[John]

You have a Dragon Ball Z shirt on, too.

[Corey]

She looks like the guy on her shirt.

[John]

Yeah, she does.

[Byron]

That might be her.

[John]

What is that called? The disease, not the woman. That's Emma Stoneage. She put a Emma Stone wig on. It's dark, but it's not redheaded.

[Corey]

She wears sunglasses straight into her sinuses.

[John]

Yeah. Her nose has been.

[Byron]

I don't think she can blink. Is she blinking? I didn't.

[John]

Her hands are all lumpy. Yeah, she probably has just to.

[Toledo]

Wear it.

[John]

That was Michael Jackson's goal face.

[Byron]

I don't think they close all the way. I think they just make the gesture.

[John]

The blinking I can't look at her long enough to know it's Jabba. She has Jabba the Hut's eyes. All right, I can't look at this interview anymore. Put her on there. Got menstrual blood on class. Come on, Brett, show them what to do.

[Byron]

She made the cut.

[John]

I don't have to make fun of cripples every time, do we? Good Christ. That was gross. And she's kind of dolled up, so she might have some attitude, like she might be one of those girls that thinks she can get a fella instead of just take one where it offers.

[Corey]

She definitely is because she got the tattoos.

[John]

Yeah, she's got her sunglasses on her head and her wig.

[Brett Vesely]

All right, we'll start off mild with this one.

[John]

Guy said, oh, no, he's doing something.

[Byron]

Take it out.

[John]

He's smoothing out some wet cement. And the machine. He loses control of the spinning machine and he's out. Tanks him. Tools. All right, here's a motorcycle action. It's a lady on a motorcycle riding into what? Oh, she's trying to get off the bike. Oh, it knocks her down. Snaps it snapped her. Her leg got stuck under the bike and turned it around. Oh, it's completely broken in half. Oh, she's got, like, olive oil legs, too. Yeah, she dressed like Sailor Moon on a motorcycle. Okay, I don't like the way this.

[Byron]

Starts, because what's next?

[John]

It's Alec Baldwin's face in a fat girl's butt crack. She looks like Anne Hathaway ate Brady. Oh, these are just women farting on a guy's face. There's three of them. All right, now that I know start. Time for an ass attack. What's she eating?

[Byron]

She's.

[John]

It's in his mouth. I knew Brady like that. Oh, my God. Sexualizing farts. Oh, my God. It's Brady's special planet.

[Brett Vesely]

All right, and let's. Let's keep with some ass, all right?

[John]

There's somebody with a full fist in another person's bottom. Punching it. Yeah, Creekside. They're on vacation.

[Corey]

Are they floating? They're on a bass boat or something.

[John]

Oh, my God. That stopped right on time.

[Brett Vesely]

You don't like the.

[Byron]

That might be on the wave runner.

[John]

It sounds like an old man chewing beef jerky.

[Brett Vesely]

Quit there, because I know we gotta start.

[John]

Yeah, we got plenty other nightmare gotta start playing up.

[Toledo]

Brett.

[John]

Can't have you screwing around, fisting people. How many times your dad say that to you? He's growing up. Stop fisting people. It's time for dinner. We got platio with 19 more left. 18 more. 17 bands remaining. Uh, let's see if we can find a gem today. We found a couple yesterday, real good ones. So let's see if Palladio gets going and we can have a nice day. And then tonight at Copper Blues downtown, we pit them against each other in a battle royale to see who comes out on top for Palladio. 20, 26 and name a champion. Tomorrow morning at 6:40, Palladio begins again next. Arizona's most powerful rock radio station, he said, fully erected. Still streaming, Homberg's morning sickness [e-mail] thank you very much. Miles to nowhere. You are a breath of fresh air. All right, let's get back to it, everybody. It is time once again for Palladio. Oh, stop it, Brad. We had a nice time yesterday.

[Brett Vesely]

We had two.

[John]

Now, one, the bands we had yesterday, Reckless Eden, A perfect score of 30. Amazing. They're in Lithuania and all over the world, so they can't make it tonight. Next band is called Witness Protection. They also scored a perfect 30. We do not hand out perfect 30s. That is not happening, especially in a row. Two in a row. And that turns out to be the band of Brent Crandall, the guy who sends all the horrifying videos to Brett on Fridays during the week. He's one of the two main contributors to the horrible videos we get and probably the ones we saw today.

[Byron]

It's under investigation right now.

[John]

So now I look at his thing and I text him. He texts a nice thing, says, our deepest apologies. We can't make it. We never thought we'd see the success we're seeing. We're not in the position to. To do the song tonight. There's a guy out of town and family obligations and stuff. And I just text back. I'm like, well, I'm just going to tell everybody the whole thing was AI and you're a fraud. And he texts me back, that actually hurts. So I'm sorry.

[Brett Vesely]

But he did tell Toledo, I think, when he submitted it, that they couldn't do it live, regardless. Yeah, well, he just wanted to hear it on the air.

[Corey]

He just wanted here. He wanted the feedback.

[John]

AI fraud.

[Brett Vesely]

It's possible.

[John]

I talked to a lot of music people yesterday, and we all kind of had the same opinion that AI is no different than autotune or sampling or whatever. When it pops up, everybody's like, oh, this is crap. Or computers. When they first got off analog tapes and they went to come digital, and everybody's like, oh, it's not the same. It's not same. Yeah, it's not going to be the same, but it's. The human element will have to remain at a certain point to see these bands live. But the music can be better. The AI is a tool you can use to make things better. So if it makes our ears happier, then we shouldn't complain about it.

[Brett Vesely]

So basically, sell your guitar and buy a MacBook Pro.

[John]

Exactly. Yeah. That's an instrument. Your computer will become an instrument.

[Corey]

All the sampling and, you know, everything else that goes on.

[John]

Just like Lamar and. And what's the geek's name? And Revenge. The Poindexter guy, that thing he had. He built that electric violin. He built Spectacular. All computerized Nerds, clap your hands. All right, don't do that. Don't do that or I'll play it again. I swear to God. All right. That you asked for it. All right, let's get it out of our system. Him. Let's get a little fian from years past. Still is a man still shocks me. Ouch, my balls. Dandar. Of course, the classic Dandar.

[Brett Vesely]

This is the OG right?

[John]

This one was like 2017 or something. And then way back to 1967's let's have some Fun. Sounds like Scooby, but I can just picture Scooby Doo on ice. Slipping and falling through his life. It's a crazy song. All right, are we ready? Round two. Our top five bands right now, outside of Reckless Eden and Witness Protection are One Star Night, Graves of the Monuments, the Thomas James Band, Veins of Ether, and Rattlesnake Suitcase, who've been in it before. Pretty good group right there. And let's start today's with a band called Redoubt. Redoubt.

[Brett Vesely]

I want to drink.

[Toledo]

What?

[Brett Vesely]

Rattlesnake Suitcase in the parking lot.

[John]

Find them in the parking garage downtown tonight if they make it. They are hanging by a thread though, because they're currently in seventh and that's taken out the top two, so they're in fifth with a 19. So if we have nothing today, they will remain. But it doesn't look great. My God, how much of these guys sent so it says doesn't mean they can't come out. Good morning, gentlemen. Look, we're. We just aren't meant for each other. We totally acknowledge that. But having our song played at drive time with a hundred thousand watts behind it in return for some brutally honest and most often hilarious on point critique seems like a fair trade. Will they get it then? We know you consider this the worst Part of the year. But we absolutely love Plato and appreciate you shining a light on local C minus grade music scene. Thank you. And we look forward to taking your punches. You know what, Jim, Tina and Jeremy from readout. Maybe not. You just don't know if it's good enough music. It doesn't matter so long as it's not country, is it?

[Corey]

Are you asking me?

[John]

Yeah.

[Corey]

No.

[John]

All right. Song is called Halo. They say it's not a rock song. It's not for kupd, but they want to hear it. Yeah. All right, let's go. It's Readout by Halo or Halo by readout and play. Do 2025 is ready to go again. Here we go.

[Toledo]

Let's begin as we suffocate self control let's bleed it in between but count it dead and burn it all your hair sing Take away wallaby Halo makes me head strong now move along A heartbeat has run its course Take away wallaby Lando. Can we turn it off? Find out you lay home locked in what I found can we turn it off? Can we turn it on? Can we. Turn down to service? Well, parasites, I'm ready to kill Long for their dopamine.

[John]

The out let's read out Halo. I felt like I was listening to Saint Anger again. I don't know. It was like, so who produced that?

[Byron]

I got the vibe, like, the office band put.

[John]

Yeah.

[Byron]

Got together.

[Brett Vesely]

So it's Har ed and Moynihan.

[John]

Yeah. And they have a thing where like, hey, we'd love for you guys to hear us play in the lobby. Like, yeah, yeah. And you're like, our sales guys have decided to put a band together. It's like, well, you know what? It's better than I expected, but I'd still never pay for this. And that's what I would call readout. You're better than I expected. But I wouldn't pay for it. I'll give them a just. I'm gonna. Giving a five from me for.

[Brett Vesely]

That's where I was gonna go with.

[John]

It, actually, because we're still nice, Brady.

[Byron]

Fives are good.

[John]

Yeah, Fives are good all the way around.

[Toledo]

All right.

[John]

Thank you for helping us out, though, and not sucking horribly, but just not overachieving either.

[Brett Vesely]

It's not a bad way to start so far.

[John]

I mean, it sounded local. It sounded poorly produced. It's, you know, not what is gonna win. And we didn't kill them too badly. They didn't deserve it.

[Brett Vesely]

Completely horrible.

[John]

I mean, if I was at a bar and that started. I'd be there for like. Like two songs. Like, we gotta get out of here.

[Corey]

You'd give him the second?

[John]

Yeah, give him the second. These guys are driving me nuts. Tap me out.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John]

Who's that drummer he's got? That's like a 40 year old drum set.

[Corey]

It's got holes in it.

[John]

Holes in it. It's like he's. He just put a piece of paper over the hole. This one says Good Morning 98 KUPD gang. My name is Mark Augustine, the one man band who submitted last year. And thank you for all your critiques. I've used them towards my newest song that I'm submitting today. And again I ask for your critique as I'm trying to find the perfect sound to attract the ears of all. My song this year is called Separation. I hope you enjoy. He's all by himself. I remember this guy. He's all by himself. And the song he calls himself Disguised by Ashes.

[Corey]

Yes.

[John]

And it's called Separation.

[Brett Vesely]

Then he do kind of a karaoke thing. Like didn't.

[Toledo]

Yes.

[John]

Was he in? He was in the finals.

[Brett Vesely]

There was a one man band one time last year, two years ago.

[John]

And he just played the thing and sang.

[Corey]

Yeah, you might be right.

[John]

I think. I don't know if that was him or not.

[Corey]

I'll have to look.

[John]

Wasn't bad. This is Disguised by Ashes. Let's see if he's got something for us this year that's worth putting in the finals tonight at Copper Blues Downtown. Let's see. Disguised by Ashes.

[Toledo]

The world's colliding.

[John]

Lost us on the incredibly. Oof. That was rough. Yeah, you gotta. You can't do that.

[Corey]

Or a co. Lead vocal.

[John]

Oh. He tried to double his vocals and then harmonize and he missed by a mile.

[Brett Vesely]

Guys, nobody likes saying anger.

[Toledo]

Okay?

[Brett Vesely]

Quit with the same anger production.

[John]

We all just cringed when he hit that. Non. Harmony. Harmony. Put a. Put a. Put a producer on that. Quit doing everything yourself.

[Byron]

Add someone to the band.

[John]

You get someone in there who can sing and go. That's a bad harm. I'm terrible at harmony. I have to be told my part. I can't. I can't swing with it. I don't get it.

[Brett Vesely]

But you know when it doesn't sound good?

[John]

I know exactly when it doesn't sound good when I'm doing it. That's usually when it's a thing. I can do it if I get my spot, but if I. I'm a mimic. If I hear somebody singing something else, I try to go there. I'm all over the place. So I get it. So you have to find somebody else who is good at harmonizing, who will keep you in a lane. That was bad. That had a bad moment. I didn't like that a little bit. Yikes. I said. Chris actually said I loved the beginning of that deep voice. And then it turned gay. Here we go for this one. Says the Indians are gonna love this guy. I think he could make it or couldn't make it last year, if I remember right. Still gay. All right, guys, knock it off. Are we starting with the gay jokes already? Because this was pretty gay. Sean Rockefeller.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John]

I don't know.

[Corey]

So there's a thing online called masterclass.

[John]

Yeah.

[Corey]

That you can take. And they have a thing for music production.

[John]

It'll fix it.

[Corey]

It's like 99 and also 99.

[John]

The thing now that is a great idea. That's a really good idea. Is to get somebody some software. They have that pitch corrector that if you're just a little off, it'll put a green light on you. You know, pitch correct you. Right.

[Corey]

You don't need pro tools to get that. A lot of the new ones have plugins that you can get that just.

[John]

Downloaded into it, disguised by ashes. The harmonies were so bad, it was unairable. I'm gonna give that a three.

[Byron]

Oh, it's four.

[Brett Vesely]

Four for three as well.

[John]

Three for Brett. All right. I like the band. The next band's name, Rat Trap 520, which I was the nickname of Flagstaff. And I think that's it.

[Corey]

Really?

[John]

Well, no, I'm just saying it's 520. So it must be. That's the. That was Tucson's area code. Is that 520 also? I think a lot of the states.

[Corey]

Five staff is 928.

[John]

Oh, they switched on. Is 520 North. Because it used to be 520 and then all we had.

[Corey]

Oh, it's 5:20 around.

[John]

Yeah, you're right. That's right. We are rat trap 520. Which is better because now it's Tucson and now it makes tons of sense. We're based out of Tucson, Arizona. It says five piece trap metal band. I don't know what that is. We know how to bring the house down. Big sub drops and head banging to make your head spin. We know how to party. Formed in 2023. We've worked hard to build up our fan base and have had the opportunity to share the stage with some amazing acts such as dropout kings, fox lake, butcher babies and dab. We've Been able to play many festivals including skull fest, launch fest and we're repeat performers on Celestial Fast. We are the 2024. That's something. I don't know what that means. Elcome forgot the w to our website. We are rat trap and we are based out of Tucson. You said that already. Now it says we are a six piece trap metal band. They've added a guy in the b goes on.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John]

And we know how to bring the house down. Wait a second. Your bio doubled down and added people to it?

[Byron]

Well, it's one rat trap 520 and the other one's just rat trap.

[John]

No, we're rat trap 520. We are based out of Tucson. One. No, no, they're trap metal, not a rat.

[Brett Vesely]

They're from Tucson. Give them a break. I mean, you know.

[Toledo]

All right.

[John]

And the bottom part of their formed in 20. This is the second part of their bio that they kind of repeated. We've worked hard to build up our fan base and I've had the opportunity to share the stage with dropout kings fox like butcher babies. We've played many festivals including school fest, launch fest and repeat performance at celestial fest. We are 2024. Then it just added a line. Rockin free live challenge battle of the bands winners. And we're not stopping there. I turn the page over. We are rat trap 520. We're now a seven piece trap metal band. Would never stop. When he says they don't stop. He's not kidding. They're picking up people like magnets and metal. All right, Rat trap. I don't know how many people are in your band now because when I started this there were five and they're.

[Byron]

Like the force gump of metal like.

[Brett Vesely]

Earth, wind and fire over here. By the time we're done, they're gonna.

[John]

Have a horn section and I'm done running. What are we supposed to do? We're the rest of rat trap 5:20.

[Toledo]

Hear the words you say sometime. Who talks like that?

[John]

Holmberg's morning sickness. All right, Tucson people. I've never said this before, but Tucson impressed me. It's rail from rat trap520.

[Corey]

Rail x I think is rail. I know that's fine.

[John]

Rail. Well, they forgot letters in there.

[Corey]

I just don't want to tell them.

[Brett Vesely]

Short.

[Byron]

Yeah, they're.

[John]

Nope. They just lost a guy and they replaced him with two more. They're like amoeba. They're amoeba. It's insane. It's rail. It's 98k up. Good luck, rat trap 520.

[Toledo]

Where every one of us die Lighting up strikeouts this is my eyes Pick up your couch and throw in a fire Nothing but chaos won't let me want to lie Put your fist a bad throw down in the B Ain't no way you leave them outside Such as. Hey, yo, friend. Lex, where the you at? This is Rat Trap. The bruises will shed. Get the in here. Let's go. Oh, the man's trying to eat.

[John]

Jesus Christ, if heroin could sing.

[Brett Vesely]

Just keep playing that.

[John]

Yeah. Wait, you mean it wasn't. That was just. Yikes.

[Byron]

That was the kitchen sink.

[John]

That was terrible.

[Corey]

How many members they got now, John?

[John]

None in their fan club. Sorry, we're not done. I don't like that. Yikes. Yeah. Kevin says trap metal, please. No, they're definitely on drugs. Yeah, that's what everybody. That sounded like drugs singing intro had.

[Brett Vesely]

Too many bong rips. Yeah, I mean, geez, way too long to get.

[Corey]

Get to it.

[John]

This band. You need to change your name to the Tucson Tards based on your bio. I knew it was going to be bad, and then your music was as disjointed. Please send them back to the 520. They make me want to reconsider the Gadsden purchase.

[Corey]

So this is what happened to the Gilbert goons.

[Byron]

Going down to U of A.

[Brett Vesely]

Someone feed them rat poison right now.

[John]

All right, I might have just now gotten the best email of the year. Yeah, I'm going to give credit where it's due. This is from someone named Ed o', Brien, and it says my girlfriend wouldn't even to this song sign. Nathan Sutherland. She turned him down. Okay, that's the best Nate Sutherland gag in a while.

[Corey]

Was that word in their bio a T or a C, John? Because it sounded like crap metal to me.

[John]

All right, I. I don't know what trap metal is. I looked up. Somebody sent me a thing. It's trap and it's. It's. I don't know what trap metal is, but they. They looked it up and it said gay.

[Brett Vesely]

This one says metal. Gay311.

[John]

Yeah. Oh, God, yeah. Where did that go? It's a definition of trap metal, which I didn't know what it was.

[Corey]

There's a new tech John putting your credit score in your band title.

[John]

520. They don't have it that high. You can kind of get a really bad loan at520.20. I didn't like that at all. I'm sorry. Rat trap. That was just. Again, disjointed is a good Word. I'll give that a two, Brady. Three, Brett.

[Brett Vesely]

I'll give him a three. Only because they're from Tucson.

[John]

There.

[Brett Vesely]

I'll give them one point. Because, you know, they're behind the eight.

[John]

Ball to begin with.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John]

Life's been tough for them. Change the name of that man to Meth Personified. It's true. I believe 520 is now how many members they have. Trap metal was never supposed to be a thing. I don't know what trap metal is.

[Corey]

Nobody does.

[John]

That sounded like four methed out raccoons trying to bang in a dumpster.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John]

I don't know if I've ever heard that before, but I can imagine that would be the sound they'd make.

[Byron]

Is that where maybe you shoot the disc in the air and you.

[John]

Yeah. Do trap shooting? Trap metal.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John]

We're a band you've never heard of. And here are the bands we've played with that you've also never heard of at festivals you've never heard of. Yeah, I don't like that. Sorry, Ratchet. We're off to a poor start.

[Corey]

I always think they just throw the resume out of who they played with for other local bands to see as.

[John]

A kind of C. It's like what Brady was saying.

[Corey]

Better than you.

[John]

You go into somebody's house and they've got Christmas decorations up and you get worried about your house. Calm down. A Billion Beats is next. Tempe Sour after that. I think they've played before. DJ Bathsheba. They've also been in it before, right? No, no, no. You sure?

[Corey]

Yes.

[John]

All right.

[Corey]

And it's. I believe it's a. It's a. It's a girl. DJ Beth.

[John]

All right, we'll get to those in just moments.

[Corey]

Okay.

[John]

Take a little break here. Cleanse the palate. Actually, you know what? We have time.

[Corey]

We can do one more.

[John]

Let's do one more. All right, we'll go. A billion beats.

[Corey]

Say, I think this one could be a good one to go to.

[John]

Break. They put a Z on it. A billion beats.

[Corey]

And again, this might be one. Dude.

[John]

This is a song called Digital Ghosts from the band A Billion Beats from Maricopa A's.

[Corey]

Oh, maybe I misread.

[John]

Thank you for considering us for Palladio. And he gives a cell number. I'm not going to give that up.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John]

Billion beats. And this. The song is called Digital ghosts. Platio is four in. And I don't think combined, all four bands have 30 points yet.

[Brett Vesely]

Three.

[Corey]

This is the fourth.

[John]

This is the fourth. Huh? Oh, you're right. Because yesterday. Yesterday. That's right. All right, fifth one in or fourth. Fourth today. This is a Billion Beats. Digital Ghosts. They used an S for the ghosts and a Z for the beats. All right, let's do it. It's. Let's hope for something here. Here we go.

[Toledo]

Bright lights blink in the dead of night Fingers dance like moths to the glow Eyes locked, hearts out of sight where do all the whispers go? Tap, tap, tap the world face in scroll, scroll, scroll where do we begin. Our dreams? Living through scream Staring at sa we're.

[John]

Here but we're.

[Toledo]

Lost in the stream Digital go chasing the. A million faces none in the room Voices trapped in tiny squares Conversations born to bloom now dissolve into pixel flares we swipe for love we swipe for hate we swipe to find our fleeting fate but every touch it pulls us deep into a world where no. What's back? Digital Games starting our dreams Living through scream Staring at same we're here Lost in the stream Digital girl chasing the baby Sam.

[John]

Hey, not bad, gang. Not bad. There. That's a billion beats.

[Byron]

Not bad for throwing that track down on a cracked foundation, America.

[John]

Yeah, you got a lot of flood damage down there. And real quick buildings. Yeah, Definitely put up those chicken wire houses too fast. But that's beside the point. Not bad. I actually kind of enjoyed that. You know what that reminded me of? I wrote this down, like a B movie or a C movie. If you wandered into the bad guy's lair and he had a dance club, but that's where the bad guy hung out, that would be the song in the background, you know, like. Like, it would be. Not Casey Affleck, but if Casey Affleck even had another brother. Like the third Affleck brother. And he's like the main character in their meeting. And then. But they still. But, yeah, yeah, yeah. And. But that's at the club and that song's in the back, but. And still they got Eric Roberts to be the bad guy because he'll take anything. He's in Demopolis commercials now, so. But Eric Roberts is there, but he doesn't do much talking. But for some reason, Tom Hanks's brother is like. Like all the bad. It's a bad movie. But you're like, swayze shows up. Don Swayze.

[Toledo]

Oh, yeah.

[John]

Dan Swayze's even worse. It's Don's. Yeah, it's all the third brothers of people. You kind of recognize them. Tim Pacino and, you know, it's like all these guys that Frank Stallone Frank De Niro, Frank Stallone of Third Brothers.

[Brett Vesely]

Frank Stallone would get top billing in that one.

[John]

But that's the song that's playing in the Bad Guys dance Club Layer, which is cool. And, you know. And Elizabeth Berkeley is the hot wife. I could cast this whole movie based on your song. A Billion Beat. Digital Ghosts. I actually like that one. I thought that was pretty good. Well done. It sounded professional. Maybe not ready for prime time, but pretty darn close. Brett, thoughts?

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, it wasn't bad.

[Toledo]

I mean.

[Brett Vesely]

Is it because the other ones were so bad to begin with?

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John]

I don't got a benefit.

[Corey]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

I mean, I'll give him a six.

[John]

Okay. I'll give him a six.

[Byron]

Grady, I'm going seven.

[John]

Yeah, I had a seven also.

[Toledo]

Oops.

[John]

People are saying not too bad. It reminded me of Altar Bridge a little bit. It's got that. It's. Yeah, it's a less gay version of Corey Feldman. Yeah. Corn and System of a Down Had a Gay Baby. That's from Eric. Then I'm asked to do a Doug Hopkins spot by Dave Hart. Right in the middle of this, he just text me, could you get a Doug Hopkins spot out there? Good production, good sound. A little gay on the song, but I liked it. A Billion beats. Corey says, not my taste of music, but they do sound talented. Sounds like they were able to get good production, so respect there. Excellent. Excellent. Yogi's dad Kevin says, a little slow, but they're not on drugs like the last band, so I'd give it a six myself.

[Byron]

I think that one will grow a little bit each time, you hear.

[John]

Yeah, I think that one's got some life to it. I think in the right hands, that becomes less of a. A Dan Swayze feature producer.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John]

And it gets some polish on it. That kind of puts it over the top. It's pretty good. Kyle says a huge compliment to the singer, but there were times I actually heard a little Chris Cornell in that voice. I could listen to a couple more songs. They got me curious. Very true. True. This sounds like System of a Down getting ass raped by Chevelle. But I liked it. Okay. And then somebody looked up trap metal to me because I still don't know. And it says, John, let me explain trap metal. Traps is an Internet term that references something that looks like a female. Probably even has boobs and everything, but it ends up with a wiener. It's an old fortune meme. Traps aren't gay, even though they're technically dudes. So it's a trolling Trap joke. It kind of was before furries, if I can remember. Other definition of trap is what.

[Corey]

But they made a metal genre.

[John]

Yeah, in, like, in bad neighborhoods, they call the house. They stash drugs in the trap house. So it fit with the band's name. Okay. They're a bunch of incel nerds that jerk off to anime girls.

[Byron]

All right.

[John]

All right. I don't know if that's accurate or not, but that was the definition. I was. And it makes sense.

[Corey]

And we mentioned Master class. There's a Black Friday special going on right now. It's $7 a month. Produce music like the pros.

[John]

Yeah.

[Corey]

People like Timbaland.

[John]

And you go to where Dead mouse.

[Corey]

It's a masterclass dot com.

[John]

That's simple as.

[Brett Vesely]

And we should throw that in as part of the prize.

[John]

Yeah. You know what I'll pay for?

[Corey]

Teaches you drums.

[John]

I'll pay your. Your subscription to master class for a year.

[Corey]

Metallica teaches you how to be a band.

[John]

Well, let's not go crazy because St. Anger still lives. And all in one class when they were in charge of their own production. It got sideways fast for Metallica anyway. I like that last 1 billion beats.

[Corey]

Tom Morello teaches you electric guitar. Come on now.

[John]

More importantly, you can kind of learn a little trick or two. This like. Oh, that'll help us.

[Corey]

Biggest thing.

[John]

All right, we'll get to it. Tempe Sour. DJ Bathsheba. Ddm. N N, R S. I don't know.

[Corey]

They didn't give a pronunciation.

[John]

Demeanor. Okay, did demeanors. They're coming up too. So those three are next. They got Tempe Sour. Best sheba.

[Corey]

Oh, neaters.

[John]

DDMNRs are coming up. Maybe it's some sort of doctor nurse or something. Rs Is that. Is that a dentist? I lost it could be something medical as well. Who knows? We'll find out when we read their bio in just seconds. Palladio, off and running for day two. Let's find a champion, shall we? Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. East Head fully erect. Still streaming. Hberg's Morning Sickness [e-mail]. All right, back at it. Here we go with some more of this Plato nonsense we've been doing. Excited about that Tempe Sour, which is served to anyone at any age over at the Tempe Tavern, if you're interested. Another 138 arrest 240.

[Corey]

49. This one sour.

[Brett Vesely]

You name it.

[John]

Yeah, you name it. You can go in.

[Byron]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

Bring your kids.

[Corey]

50 on this one.

[John]

Who's the rat Little League parties. Rat trap, that's who. The thing they have Little League parties, dance recitals, ice cream socials, fourth grade graduation.

[Corey]

All that money.

[John]

It's the best. We used to go to Pizza Hut, but now the kids in Little League are rolling over to the Tempe Tavern.

[Byron]

It's one of the best basketball clinics out there.

[John]

How is it still open? After the last one, they had like 120 arrest. Somebody knows something.

[Brett Vesely]

There's some envelopes going around.

[John]

You got. You got the what? 100 and something arrest last time. This time they get up into the double, they're going for the record. Yeah, don't you lose your license at a point.

[Corey]

You would think they have to now, right?

[Brett Vesely]

Somebody else will just be the quote, unquote owner.

[John]

Yeah, they'll just move to another fellow.

[Corey]

How things work.

[Brett Vesely]

That's what I hear.

[John]

New management. Oh yeah. The banner will be under new management. Same rules apply. Come on in, kids. Let's bring your kid to work day and then to the bar like mad, mad men. Little mad men they call it. Tempe Sour is the next one on deck here for Palladio. It's 7:25, so we're getting through this rather rapidly and finding gems. Last one was good. And actually I have to say I went to the bathroom and was singing that digital ghost song in my head, not knowing the words but humming along. I enjoyed it. And then someone said, man, you know, some songs bring you back and like, make you reminisce. Scott says rat Trap reminded me of something. Oh, I need to call Orkin. That's right. Get the. That's exactly what they do. This one's Tempe Sour. It says they're excited to be entered into KUPD's 2025 Palladio contest. Attached and from our upcoming album, the Desert Is Flat, the World Is round. As an MP3 of our soon to be released single, Get Up, Tempe Sour can be found on all streaming platforms and live shows around town. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for latest updates. Tempe Sours band names are Shane, Brian, Chris Leslie, Tempe Sour, Phoenix. Again, the song is called Get Up Up. The band is called Tempe Sour, which I kind of like. Let's see what they've got. Get up is the song. Right now from tempe sour to 98.

[Toledo]

Feels like something's going down Feels like something's going down Feels like something's going down Feels like something's going down. Don't give up. I've Got people standing next to me Some smile, some disappree Go with that thing I hear and I see the music gets in the music gets in Feels like something's going down Feels like something's going down Feels like something's going down Feels like something's going down. The world of people standing on their feet I feel like I've been stabbed in a hut.

[John]

Tempe Sour. There they were. And there they go. Tempe Sours. Much like the last band where I feel like the C movie club scene. This was when Chips would walk into a club and there was a bar band. Moloch.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John]

This is a song Moloch would sing on. Like, in the 70s when Telly Savalas walked into a. Like those. The rock and roll bar. And he'd be like, ah, yeah. That's the kind of song they'd play on a TV show to pretend this is what a rock band sounds like.

[Byron]

A funky tune on Sesame Street.

[John]

Yeah, it's got a little out there teaching you about going down on stuff. Yeah. Like they do at the Tempe Tavern for the kids. Well, Tempe Sour is ironic that it would be a Sesame street drinking song.

[Byron]

I did, like, the beginning. I'm like, this got potential.

[John]

It was the sound very much like vocals just in. It would have been what Greg Brady was listening to in the hi Fi. New rock and roll album came out today.

[Brett Vesely]

Or when they turned the Scooby Doo radio on in the cartoon and stuff.

[John]

That's it. That's what I'm thinking of.

[Brett Vesely]

Fred and Thelma start dancing.

[John]

Yeah, exactly. Like, we gotta get out of here, school. These rock and roll hoodlums are all over us. Yeah. They've got long hair, like gays. Like, let's not get into it right now, Scoop.

[Corey]

And then Tempe Sour closes out the episode, right?

[John]

Doing the thing. Like, something's going down. They're singing together at the end. Like, it wasn't Tempe Sour at all, Scoob. It was old man Miguel Gotti.

[Byron]

It's the chase scene.

[John]

Yeah, yeah. The Phantoms behind Tempe Sour and the gang.

[Byron]

We're going down the hallways, opening different doors, coming out the other rooms.

[John]

Like, I got real high and discovered this band the other day. I think they were better high. We told you guys, it wasn't us. It was the Phantom. Like, Tempy Sours.

[Byron]

Right, man. And then the mask comes out like Jonathan Winners.

[John]

Well, I don't know if we only had two guest stars in the episode, but it's getting a little convoluted. That's exactly what it is. Bringing everybody in. It was the.

[Toledo]

The.

[John]

It was the made up rock band that visited the gang on the Mystery Machine. And for that, I'm giving them a six because you just made my cartoon brain so happy. God, I wish you guys could see what goes on in here. It's all animated and I don't know how that's it. My thoughts are animated. When I think of Brady, he's drawn. I don't like it. I'll go six. Six for you as well. I'll go six.

[Brett Vesely]

I like that funk aspect of it.

[John]

Out of all the times we've done this, that's the first number of the Beast scoring we've had all year. Normally get a 27 into it. Nice job. Just on the cusp, almost getting in. Tempe Sour, you were fun. Like I said that, man. Feels like something's going down. It totally works. All right, gang, enough fooling around. We're high as a kite.

[Toledo]

Zoe.

[John]

Tempe Sours playing at the Tavern. Get the kids.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John]

And now my brain just did this. Feels like something's going down. And in the background, Velma is dropping to her knees in front of Fred. She's going down. All right, next one up. Ah, you know what, guys? Nice job. This Scooby Doo thing will live with me, Fred. A while. DJ Bathsheba fire and freed another one. What does that mean, dj? Oh, I thought you were doing something else.

[Byron]

Yeah, like a. Discussing another one says it.

[John]

Yeah. DJ Beth Sheba, the Alchemist. Is that the song?

[Corey]

No, that's her complete title.

[Toledo]

Oh.

[John]

Phoenix based artist, songwriter, actress, Beth Sheba Adams. I've seen this person. I stumbled in on this. Where was I? I don't remember where I was, but I think I've seen DJ Bathsheba. The outcome. Oh, it was a video someone sent me, and it was at Valley Bar. That was because I said Valley Bars. You gotta see DJ Bathsheba. I'm pretty sure this is the right DJ thing. That's where I'm familiar with this. DJ Bathsheba the alchemist turns every beat into the story of survival and purpose. A breast cancer warrior and former foster youth transforms pain into power through music that inspires, heals and uplifts. She's got a history, boys. She's going to be beautiful and she's going to convince you of a lot of things.

[Byron]

But like she did with King David.

[John]

Yeah, she just be careful. She's got some triggers and I like her already. It inspires, heals, and uplifts. Her sound fuses raw emotions, soulful storytelling and cinematic performance energy shaped by years in both entertainment and humanitarian worlds. Beyond the mic, Bathsheba runs creative and songwriting services that help other artists find their voice. While her mission work through Eyes Like Mine, Inc. Supports foster and at risk youth across Arizona. Arizona, by far the best person in Palladio so far.

[Corey]

Without a doubt.

[Brett Vesely]

Jim Manley of Playdoh.

[John]

She is the. Yeah, she's is the Jim Manley of Palladio. Let's give her a round of applause. She's won the Jim Manley man of the year award.

[Corey]

Rat trap 520. You got nothing on rat trap five twenty.

[John]

DJ Bathsheba's out there getting it done for kids in need. Every song she releases is a testament to resilience. Rebirth, a real life alchemy proving that art can change lives. Starting with her own own. She took her history of yuck and trouble and turned it into art. I like this. All right, well, let's hope she delivers. Like I can't wait, bruh. Fire and Freedom is the song from DJ Bathsheba, and I want you to deliver. Go get him, DJ Bathsheba. Here we go with Pallad.

[Toledo]

I've been walking through the ashes of my past High heels on the gravel moving fast Every scar I gots a story I survived now the fire in my my chest is coming alive they tried to break me tried to make me small but baby, I was born to stand tall I got fire and freedom burning deep in my soul can't change my reason I'm taking back control Every step I'm taking Lots of the sky I'm chasing yeah, I'm fire and freedom Ain't no turning down my flight There said sit down I said watch me stand Got my heart like thunder in my head Cage of a woman filled for the storm I was born wild I was born reborn I paid my dues Now I'm taking my crown Turn the speakers off let the walls break down I got fire and freedom burning deep in my soul can't change my reason I'm taking back control Every step I'm taking Lights up the sky I'm chasing yeah, I'm fire freedom Ain't no turning down my soul. No chains, no pain gonna stop me now. I rise, I roar I don't know how to bow Every heart beats a drum and it's pounding loud I'm the thunder they can't drown. Fire and freedom Burning like the sun I'm a storm and the reason the battle's already won Every scar I'm wearing is proof I'm still daring yeah, I'm fighting freedom, baby I'm the one, baby I'm the.

[John]

I'm gonna quote Brett while I was playing. What the hell is she doing in this contest? Wow. That I'm a tone guy. When you hear someone's song, like their first words, you can tell if they can sing everything. Well, I mean, the ones that you're like, okay, I want to hear you sing. You know, know street signs. DJ Bathsheba has a voice. Now, a lot of people said what Brett also said, which was, I think this is the theme to Sunday Night Football.

[Brett Vesely]

What does Chris Collins were think of this?

[John]

I just tell you, I, I, I got a kick out of it. I don't know what. Here's a guy who really likes music, too, and I don't finish sentences, but when I. There's a guy out there right now, just eat. Probably causing people to dance.

[Corey]

Sounds like your former winner. Whistle on St. Better love it. Take a seat, Hobbs.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

Feels like I'm walking into the Roadhouse bar and Patrick Swayze is looking at me ready to fight.

[John]

Two things I thought about a truck commercial is going to steal that.

[Corey]

Oh, yeah.

[John]

Ford and Chevy are now fighting over who's going to get that one next. And also, I have a feeling DJ Beth Sheba, and I don't know your politics. Fox News will be using this as a rejoiner someday on the Will Kane Show. It's got just enough down home. And then they're going to find out you're black and lose their minds.

[Brett Vesely]

Not sure if I'm supposed to admit this during Palladio. I'm half hard listening to this song.

[John]

She is Josh. Jeremy nails it. This might be the best song I've heard during this competition. I think we're three in on that comment. We got three different bands. That was fantastic. And this one says, Jesus, that song, she sounds gay. Can I watch her scissor now? Just throwing it in there for no reason, Josh. Even Dale Hellistry would be right about this one. Little Bonnie rate. I heard that too, Jim. Lord's right, a little bit of that. This one says a feminist, Shania, 20. I don't know if I got feminist. I got, well, I mean, you know, breast cancer warrior. You're gonna immediately be on women's rights stuff. She was good. This one says, simply put, f, yes, a little country. But hell yeah, it says, damn old rebound or saggy cans are making a hell Of a comeback. Why? Why? Sounds like Carrie Underwood. If she could sing even better. I agree with that, too. Her voice has a tone that immediately just goes boom.

[Byron]

Yeah.

[Corey]

First note.

[John]

She can do everything. This is a little too much rah rah girl power BS for me. Sounds like corporate video song for a women's empowerment speaker about to take the stage.

[Toledo]

Gay.

[Corey]

Someone's triggered it.

[John]

Says production and everything is fantastic, though. This could be on K and IX tomorrow. No one would hear.

[Corey]

Strong for them.

[John]

No one would hear it.

[Corey]

Yeah.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John]

I just want to watch Sunday Night Football. Sounds like something Dan Holmberg would go to. That's true. Sean. You pay too much attention. My dad barks at things he likes. And if he saw and then somebody also said is all right, let's see what matters. Is she hot? She's pretty.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John]

Very much. Super pretty. So. Sounds like she could have won American Idol. It's a lot of country. Very much like Dorothy, only a little bit of a country vibe. But people are also wondering because it's so good as she.

[Toledo]

AI.

[John]

And she's not the one. She's not the one. Someone sent me a video of at Valley Bar. I thought that was. It's not the same person.

[Corey]

But as far as AI goes, Brett said it best. We'll find out tonight. If. If she can do that live, she's gonna be there. Then there you go.

[John]

I'll give her a nine. I like that one a lot. Brady.

[Byron]

I. I saw nothing wrong with that song, man. I'm giving it a 10.

[John]

Go 9.

[Brett Vesely]

Only because it's not my style of music. But everything was great.

[John]

I hate country music.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John]

And that one had a country it that I could tolerate. If all country music was that quality and had, like, a great. Like, the lyrics were good and it had depth.

[Corey]

You know what we've done? We've given her too high a score, meaning she won't be able to make it tonight.

[John]

Yeah. The better they are, the less chances they're going to be there. AI. DJ Bathsheba. Damn. We knew it the second it started.

[Corey]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[John]

You guys realize that at one point. Point, this was our leader. Let me tell you a story.

[Toledo]

A man named Piss Ball. Pet his dick. So Smiley pissed on his ball. Still want to see that?

[John]

We got time for it, man. 16 seconds of pure glory. Yeah. All right. Everybody's going to.

[Byron]

If.

[Toledo]

If.

[Corey]

If one star Knight makes it, they can play piss ball.

[Byron]

Pete.

[Corey]

What, five times?

[John]

Five or six times. Yeah. You know, that's the one thing that you got going on. Everybody Just demanding to know whether or not that was AI or not that was that good. You're that good that we think it was too perfect. It can't be human.

[Corey]

Right?

[John]

Prove us wrong. DJ Bathsheba. I'm impressed all the way around. Excellent. And like Brett said, what are you doing in this? Yeah, and we're grateful that you're in it. But come on now. You're now the people who unfortunately, just like yesterday, have the unenviable task of following greatness. Ddmnr. That's the name of the band. Ddmn.

[Corey]

Tell me how you pronounce that. I don't.

[John]

Ddmnrs.

[Byron]

Okay.

[John]

DDM and nrs. I'm trying to hear if I'm saying something. DDM and nrs, but I'm not.

[Corey]

People were asking. The full list of bands is on the website. 98kupd.com Palladio oh, man.

[John]

We should move them. Oh, yeah?

[Corey]

Why? Okay, we can flop them with 30.

[John]

All right. Four. Four emails in a row. Wait, she's blind Black. I just looked her up on Instagram. I did not expect her to be black. Now this is the exact same thing that's going to happen when Fox News rejoins Hannity with that song. Oh, my God, she's black. Get it off. When they find out.

[Corey]

You want to swap them?

[John]

No, they are. They fell. Where? They fell. DD MNRS is from Phoenix, Arizona. Thrash, punk, hardcore, metal. All right. Two piece. A two piece thrash fest. These dudes met on Craigslist last year. God, I hope for music. And with a mutual yearning for heavy and the fast. Still hoping for music and the longing to get off of Craigslist as soon as possible. Their debut three songs were released on all platforms in July of this year. With the anticipation of the vinyl version later this year. Don't get all excited about. About that. Don't waste your money on that until you're something. So many. So many more shredders coming soon. I want to know how to say it, but I think I'm saying it pretty good. Ddmnrs.

[Corey]

Yep.

[John]

DDM and nrs. I just. It sounds like I'm saying something and I'm not. And the song is called Casual Friday. And I'm sorry you had to follow that glorious thing we just played, but here's Casual Friday from ddmnrs.

[Toledo]

Something I said There are legs I said to reconnect the matter Making up my unleavened pet this world will eat you alive yes. Take your bull every time yeah, Break your no, we cannot hide yeah Race off the line.

[John]

Keep spinning the same.

[Toledo]

Solution Keep spinning the the same solution Keep spinning the same solution It's a record. My mind has been intruding. Work every day. This world will eat you alive yes. Take your break Times every joy cannot hide yeah Race all the.

[John]

There you go. Another one. All the way through. And drastically different formats. This to say schizophrenic. Last two.

[Byron]

Nothing casual about that.

[John]

No, no, no. DD M N N R S is that one. And I wrote down. Normally, I'd hate this, but I can't. And I don't know why it was structured like that was one of those songs. Normally those dudes like, people like that when they're. When they're rookies or locals, they go off the rails with something stupid. And they didn't. Kept it in the structure of what that's supposed to sound like. That was pretty. Pretty good. And again, I'm not a huge fan of that style of music.

[Brett Vesely]

I love that kind of stuff.

[John]

You like it when it's. When it's done well.

[Brett Vesely]

Yes.

[John]

And that one, I think, is one of those, like. Yep. I get it. Like, I get that. I get why someone would like that.

[Toledo]

Sometimes. I mean, who talks like that?

[John]

98 Holmberg's Morning Sickness.

[Corey]

That's what everybody's saying. Good for the genre.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John]

For what they do. That's.

[Byron]

I mean, it's perfect for me when I'm down on the mosh. I mean.

[John]

Yeah. When Brady likes to throw bows with the kids down there at the Tempe Tavern.

[Corey]

That's your safe space. You can't hear down there. You can't.

[John]

This isn't even loud enough for me, you pussies. Because he can't hear. What if it's too loud? You're too old. What come you can't hear us? What? You can't hear us? What in your rear ass.

[Toledo]

Hey.

[Corey]

What the.

[John]

Hey, you. Man.

[Corey]

That'S the wrong crowd, man. He's got what you're getting.

[Toledo]

DD mnrs.

[John]

M O U S E.

[Brett Vesely]

Somebody asked if it stands for Diddy Miners.

[John]

DD Miners. I don't know. I liked it. I'm going to give that one a seven. Just because it's not the type of music I. I like. But I think they did a good job with it.

[Byron]

Brady, I'm seven as well.

[Brett Vesely]

Brad, I'm an eight.

[John]

All right. There they are. I like that.

[Brett Vesely]

I didn't expect that.

[John]

Me neither. Nice job. What is.

[Byron]

What's.

[John]

What? Are we running short on vowels? The next band is Czyk.

[Corey]

We have a tie for third place right now.

[John]

All right, that's good. Just keep bringing people over. We got one band singing 16 second songs. We got great. We are Czyk or Cyzic. It's a Phoenix based alternative metal core band blending heavy riffs, atmospheric elements, and orchestral arrangements to create a dynamic, emotionally charged sound. Physic, it could be. Check. Chic.

[Corey]

You got me something Eastern European.

[John]

That's what it looks like to me. Unleash their debut album downward spiral on 114 25. This collection of songs resemble resembles the past three years for Czyk, and each track takes you on an emotional journey, whether it be through chaos or Charles, as an ex girlfriend used to say, catharsis or vulnerability. Sizik has played with notable bands such as here we go, drowning pool, into saliva, until I wake, catch your breath, Dark divine nerve, Archers, fame on fire, Sumerian records, summer slaughter, 2024 and more. Cizik has also participated and won the Danny Wimmer presents unsigned fan vote band competition that landed them a slot at louder than life 2023 in Louisville, Kentucky. Aftershock 2024 in Sacramento.

[Toledo]

Wait a minute.

[John]

You won a trip to Kentucky and Sacramento? And go see Neanderthal. Physical being chose for these two festivals shows their fans determination and passion to ensure that Sizzix Czyk becomes a staple.

[Byron]

I see that Dangerfield's last name and it's.

[John]

Yeah, Cervik. It's. And then the guy's name is Kyle Cupcheck Czyk. So they must be called check. You're confusing us. Yeah, because Al Servic has the same. But he didn't have any vowels in his last name either. Kyle Cervic. Kyle Kupchik. All right, let's see what the. I'll call you a check because I think that's what you're after. Song's called downward spiral. It's Czyk.

[Corey]

Otherwise says I know them. You're getting it right. Sizzy is right.

[John]

Sizzk. Okay. All right. More check or Czyk. Too much going on there. I'll tell you that right now. You're pissing me off with your name. It's downward spiral from this group that we can't identify. It's 98.

[Toledo]

Can I take another day in this song? Vision blur stables turn is this far Well, I can't recall the times I deserve this might not be is this never ending? Can I escape the cycle? Or am I in a towered spiral. That. I'll take it like a joint I can't live Another day I know you may be begging me to stay but all the pressure's building up to more than I can take Things that I would get for me to feel complete.

[John]

But I don't think I battle with.

[Toledo]

A broken wing I don't feel fine I'm closed off and tired I no longer have what once kept me inspired I've got a broken heart and mind. I get taken out of control. Out.

[John]

That was a good, timely gong. Downward spiral from Czyk. Brett actually wrecked that for me. In the middle of it, he started to say emotional. It made me realize I was listening to a man singing for Evanescence.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, man. I didn't change my score. Hang on a second.

[John]

Yeah, it was good, though. I thought they did a really nice job. It was just. This one says, all gay jokes aside, there's a lot of good bands this year.

[Corey]

That. That's very true.

[John]

That is true. We've got some.

[Toledo]

Really.

[John]

Well, last year.

[Corey]

Last year, you guys were ready to throw in the towel on day one.

[John]

Well, it's also because production is easy now. You should sound good.

[Corey]

Say it again, John, for the people in the back.

[Toledo]

What?

[Corey]

Production.

[John]

Production is the key. And it's so easy to do right now. So easy. And if you're screaming at the reality.

[Toledo]

We got a lot of money.

[John]

We don't have money.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[Corey]

Doesn't take much.

[John]

Calm down, Rich. Every time I open my mouth, he's saying what I'm.

[Byron]

He's doing.

[John]

He's been listening to this. I understand why.

[Toledo]

Right.

[John]

It's his third time through.

[Corey]

Frustrating.

[John]

He listens to all these. Before we go on the air. Rich is the only one that sits through this three times.

[Brett Vesely]

That's like me. When we do the videos for the end of the year, it's.

[John]

Yeah. Been through this before. Says I could hear the exact moment of that song where he dropped to his knees and gobbled that mic. The mascara ran down his face.

[Toledo]

Gay. Gay.

[John]

Stop it. Jason Carpenter. Jason Carpenter. And all the bands that are hearing these gay jokes. The guys aren't even listening to songs anymore. They're just. They're just trying to do the gay thing. It's all, you know, it's one of those. It's one of those kind of. What do I do with this?

[Byron]

It's tough to go in with that cut, basically, that single.

[John]

It's good, but it's just.

[Toledo]

It started.

[John]

It's only three minutes, so.

[Byron]

I mean, it's hard to win with a deep emotional. On Plato, I think.

[John]

Yeah. You got to bring some energy how long was it? 3:37. And we cut away a minute left. That's exactly. Which means it started to grow tiresome. I do think it's really well done, and they're good at what they do. So I'm going to give them a 7 also, even though the song itself n. I'm going to give them a six.

[Brett Vesely]

I'm a six.

[John]

I'm going sixes. Sixes. I mean, it's good. But it did have kind of a. I think once you hit droned a little bit, like, too emotional. And we were saying it's Evanescence with a boy singer. I'm like, oh, boy. It's amazing how it can be tainted that easily. Mid story is the next one. Mid story is got a song called Aviator. It's a shame that Czyk is not higher rated because I think they're would be fun to watch pull that off because those are the ones that make people swoon and they're alive. You're like, whoa, they can really pull this off. But we've got Bathsheba. If she can make it. We've got that already. Where people's eyes are going to pop out of their heads. I think maybe she stinks live. I doubt it. This one says, I'm not sure how to be able to link my band's music. That's their bio. I don't know how to do this. I'm not sure if this worked. We are a shoegaze alt rock band. What is that you actually doing the work for our listeners calling yourself Shoe Gaze. We put an album out last year. Our name is Mid story, and the album is Canopy. I play drums for this band, Oliver. All right, well, let's shorten to the point. I don't know if there's a point to it, but Mid story is the band and the song is called Aviator. It's. Take a listen to this one.

[Toledo]

Sa.

[John]

I don't want to hear that word here again. I feel like I've been stamped in the hut.

[Toledo]

The out. Oh, that.

[John]

I'll say it again. What the is there to think about? All right, all right, all right. I love inundating the song of Brett's hate.

[Byron]

Rob Bonino.

[John]

It's like a really cruddy Smashing Pumpkins.

[Byron]

With Daffy Duck on the drums.

[John]

Yeah, and the drummer started getting going a little bit and confused us all. Gay Weezer. All right.

[Brett Vesely]

That's not what they're starting with.

[John]

Isn't that superfluous? Not superfluous.

[Brett Vesely]

Bring back the band from Tucson.

[Corey]

Oh, John did you resurrect Qlac Lazarus?

[John]

It is. There it is. It's the goodbye horse. It's what Jame Gum dances to when he's about to pull the girl out of the well. I didn't like the song at all. No, I just think it was more. It wasn't. It wasn't about their abilities as much as it was just a bad song. Sorry.

[Corey]

Some people liked it. Will you give the name of the band again?

[John]

Yeah, it's Mid story and the song was Aviator. And some people will like it. I just was. And they're called serial killers, and I don't know how to appeal to them. And that's not what we're aiming at. I just didn't like the song. I think you're probably good at what you do. I just didn't like that submission. I give that a five.

[Brett Vesely]

That's about where I'm at.

[Toledo]

Yep.

[John]

All of us on the same page. I like the next one. I think Brett's gonna. I'm just gonna write a 10 in Brett's category here for this next guy. Rob menino.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, yeah.

[John]

10. Who needs. What a band name. Who needs with that? My name's Rob Menino. Why would I tell anybody I was called something else? What am I? Computer screen? Window sill? I'm Rob Menino. That's what you call me? That's what I answered to his song Far From Over. Yeah, they're gonna redo Far From Over. It's basically an anthem. What do you call yourself? I call myself Rob Menino. What do you call yourself, Jackass? I'm Robinino. That one said. Could you please play that vampire song again? The last. Last one for the vampire movie. It's Death Cab for Cutie's ripoff of Blue October. Oh, that was a good way to put it.

[Brett Vesely]

Could be a song from the Lost Boys.

[John]

Yeah, it was Lost Boys 3.

[Byron]

Yeah.

[John]

The one that is like. Corey is the star of Lost and.

[Brett Vesely]

Johnny Sutherland is the vampire.

[John]

Donald Sutherland's stepson, Tyrone South Sutherland. That's my boy. Yeah, we know Donald. You took credit for that when he turned 40. Rob Menino. Give me. Give me Rob.

[Corey]

Do it after the break.

[John]

What are you talking about? Give me to Rob Menino. I want it now.

[Brett Vesely]

Rob Menino does.

[John]

Look, I already introduced Rob Menino, and I'm going to sit through your Valley Chevy dealers commercials. We get to Rob Menino, then the. Then the car sales. We're good. We're way ahead. Don't worry. Thank you. I'm Robin Nino. Rob is no stranger to music. I'm going to read it as he hears it in his head. As fate would have it, Rob was born into a family of musicians and got introduced to the drums at an early age by his musician father. I said musician by being thrown at. He doesn't pull rabbits out of hats, you jackasses. He's a musician, not a magician. His earliest memories of music were hearing such as legendary bands, artists at Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Stones, Beatles, Hendrix, the Doors, Van Halen, Guns N Roses, and many, many more.

[Byron]

And Frank.

[John]

Yeah, and then we got a Frank. Well, Frank was in the house at all times. Look, I'm reading Rob Menino's thing. I don't need you. What do you call yourself? I'm Robin. Nino, you call yourself.

[Corey]

Not Robin, Not.

[John]

You know, he's not. Clearly, during these pivotal moments, he was instantly hooked, and new music would always have major roles in his life. Over the years, his talent and creativity began to mature. Brett's getting ready for Thanksgiving with this.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, yeah.

[John]

I lost my place. I got to start over. Hi. Thank you. Over the years, his talented creativity began to mature as he honed his skills in various original and cover bands along along the way. Rob is an accomplished regional musician and having played all over the southwest, including Tempe, Phoenix and Scottsdale, which, you know, Tucson, Malibu, Hollywood. I've been all over the place. His associated acts have opened for regional nationalists, national artists, including Grammy award winner Michelle Branch, his associates. Come on, guys, I'm reading. He's also played at the famous Whiskey a Go Go on the Sunset Strip. Now, I don't mean I played music, but I was playing around in it.

[Corey]

I played the jukebox.

[John]

It was fun. I had a good time.

[Toledo]

Time.

[John]

Having shared the stage as many of his idols before him. Fast forward to today and Rob is a multi instrumentalist that plays guitar, piano, and drums. I don't need anybody else in my band. It's just me, everybody else, just a pain in the ass. So they say you need a band name. I say, why? You could come up with someone. I just came up with this Robin, you know, and that's what I'm gonna call myself. Like John Bon Jovi. Same thing. Songs called Orange sky, like the restaurant on top of Talking Stick, only with no Indians.

[Corey]

Is that true?

[John]

Yeah. Oh, okay. Orange sky is Rob Menino's song. And I'm hoping he delivers or else he's going to shoot me. It's Rob menino, everybody. It's 98.

[Toledo]

I wasn't looking when she Came along heart breaks my game on a suicide song can't take over Heart grown colder Heavy as hell that'll let you on show I took a chance with my heart on the men Just another girl she easy to pretend all night hello heart summer she's pleasant surprise I still remember the first time I made my eyes off long and d. Big blue eyes, blond hair Girl in the middle of July Cherries ever lifts Smile so bright looks to kill you can't but find one cat girl and I knew it was love that was kissing on shadow. Like we were young Laughing, dancing to north music song, drink after drink all night long Songs coming up tonight just.

[John]

Be gone Damn, she looks pretty.

[Toledo]

And though I was wrong I tried to fight it But I'm not the stroke it's pretty. Blue eyes, dark hair girl in the.

[John]

Middle of July Cherry red lips a.

[Toledo]

Smile so proud look still kill you Careful.

[John]

All right.

[Toledo]

All right.

[John]

I feel like I was listening to Bruce Springsteen. Get the Heimlich maneuver. One says I just want to Did.

[Corey]

Fox bring back the Heights?

[John]

It's the. Oh, it's very much party of fiver though Heights and was the blue sky. Give me a break here a second. I'm Robin.

[Byron]

Nina.

[John]

We'll be right back with more Rob Menina. Brett, you still want to hold that 10?

[Brett Vesely]

No.

[John]

Ah, one of your own. You got abandoned ship here.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah. Score seven, cuz he's one of my own.

[John]

Oh, come on. None of them.

[Brett Vesely]

I. I heard Kid Rob rock there. That was a Kid Rock song?

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, and then I heard John Gayer Melon Camp from Chris Clark.

[John]

Okay. I just heard Bruce Springsteen after hormone treatment. Like he was a soft. It was a soft kinder. Bruce Springsteen.

[Corey]

No Adam's apple.

[John]

Bruce just climbed stairs and I'm struggling to breathe. Gonna get the words out of me Robino.

[Corey]

All right, John, you'll understand this Kid Rock singing like shit. Shatner.

[John]

That's perfect. I just want kiss the sky. Somebody is kissing this guy. Rob Menino. Robino. 1, 2, 3, 4. Ramenino. Where did he. Oh, oh. Rob Menino. I write songs one word at a time. Can't make more than one single rhyme. Rob Menino.

[Corey]

I don't know if I'd go here, but does he. Is this guy do weather somewhere? I feel like he's a singing weatherman.

[John]

Paul Horton.

[Brett Vesely]

Brad Perry.

[John]

Yeah. Oh, it's Brad Perry. No, no, no. He made his words. There was diction and like he made sense. You can understand.

[Corey]

Understand him.

[John]

He just sounded like he was out of breath. Knocked the Wind out of me when I fell down the steps. Rob Menino.

[Corey]

John, either turn that off or start handing out wine coolers, bro.

[John]

Rob, we're making fun. It wasn't that terrible, but it wasn't that good.

[Brett Vesely]

Is that Bruce Twinkstein?

[John]

All right. Thought you guys were playing a bad John Mellencamp song. As Brett said. Kid fl.

[Toledo]

Lop.

[John]

Stop it. If Shrek 8 ever happens, you're in it.

[Brett Vesely]

Dollar store. Hardy.

[John]

Yeah. Oh, hey, Brett.

[Corey]

Can you tell me how to say gay in Italian? I'm asking for a friend.

[John]

Rob Menino camp. All right. Lil Springsteen. Melon camp. That's what. Everybody's hearing the same thing. It's not terrible. It's just. It was just weird. You said six, Brett. Yeah, yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

I changed it to six.

[John]

I went to Brady.

[Byron]

Did the same six.

[John]

Four. I'm sorry, Rob. I think I like Rob Menino. I think I like anybody that goes. You know what? Just gonna call myself Rob Menino. And it's such a melodic name.

[Corey]

You'll miss me when I'm playing in Malibu.

[John]

Every single old.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John]

Played at a bar in Malibu three doors down from Shutters resorts. Robin Nino. Every single line ends with his name. That's right. Robin Nino. Who's on stage? Robin Nino. You're never going to be forgotten.

[Byron]

Rob needs to open up a car dealership.

[John]

Come on down. We're making great deals. Push, pull, tug or toe. I'll take your wheels. Robin Nino. I'm a marketing genius with this guy. It's easy. Especially when you're only doing staccato words one at a time. I'm in a pickle. Bad credit. No credit will finance you. I got a Buick. I got an Oldsmobile or two. Robin Nino. That's going to be happening in my world all day. Get ready to be annoyed by Rob Menino. That's going to be my punctuation for everything. I'll have a number three with large. Large iced tea and large fries. Robino.

[Toledo]

What?

[John]

Make my order closer.

[Corey]

Bob Seeger was cop.

[John]

It's Bob Seeger. There it is. It's Bob Seeger.

[Toledo]

Finger.

[John]

Close the books. That's the winner. Did you hear? He has copd. Just take those old records off the show. Sit and listen to them. By myself. Robin.

[Byron]

Nina.

[John]

You're the most famous guy in Phoenix now, though. Rob. Sorry, I gotta stop. Let's take a break. Palladio keeps going. We'll find somebody. Arizona's most powerful rock media station. He said fully erect. Still streaming Homburg's Morning sickness [e-mail] Dolphins fan till the day I die. Number 13 is my favorite goddamn marina. Sorry, Rob. You're melodic. You're in my head. That's a win for you. Oh, boy. I can't get enough of it. My head, it won't stop. This guy says, I'm going to be singing that dude's name all day. You know what, Rob? You're welcome. Come on down to my special car lot. Only sell two types of cars a lot. Gran Torino, El Camino. Robinino. I'm gonna go to that guy's car lot and get an El Torino. Gran Torino. Starsky and Hutch solved those crimes driving around as fast as they could. Gran Torino. There's already a song called Grand Torino. Dago. Everybody's going to be singing that. In fact, I highly encourage. Just today, if you go home to your wife and she has no idea that you listen to this today, ask for dinner and then just punctuate it with Robin Nino until she does it back. That's the win. Make someone else say Rob Bonino's name who doesn't know what we're talking about. What are you saying, Robino? Like, do that? Stop doing that. Why, Robino? Seriously. Brush and piss me off. I'll stop right now. Romanino. You did it again.

[Byron]

What's gonna fix that? A little Robino.

[John]

Looks like you're gonna die. He got something wrong. It's growing in your eyes. Rob Menino. Dr. Rob Menino. He's a doctor, too. Damn it. Sorry. It's gonna piss everyone off. I ate Mexican food last night. My tummy's on fire. I won't sleep tonight. I need Beano. Thank you. I can do it all day. I can do it all day. I'm sorry, Brett. I know your people are planning to death. Someone said. Did he say his father played piano or just used piano wire? That's a question. It's a legitimate question. All right, next one up. People are asking all the whole time.

[Toledo]

Oh, yeah.

[John]

All right, here we go. The club or the horse? Either one. I was outside at this rancher's house. He said, get on her back, take her out, Ride palominos. People are asking, like, what was that lady's name earlier? DJ Bathsheba. Buy her stuff. Rob Menino is now our adult. Six, seven, Meathead from Prestige Billiards said, can you do a commercial for me for Prestige Billiards using Rob Menino? Pool balls, games, air hockey and more. Come on down. The owner's a whore. Rob Menino Nino. That was for you, meathead. All right, let's get on with it. I can't stop. I am addicted to my own stupidity. The next band is called the Mess I Made. Is that right?

[Byron]

Yep.

[John]

Mess I Made is next. All right. Says bio. The Mess I Made is a new post hardcore alt rock band from Phoenix, Arizona, founded by Christian Jude and former members of Barry the Darkness. We know Barry the Darkness. The very handsome lady, right? Yep.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John]

Wasn't that them? Was it or. No.

[Brett Vesely]

Bury the Darkness was a different Darkness played. They played you fest this year. That's really opened up.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John]

Wait a minute. Former members of Bury the Darkness.

[Brett Vesely]

Maybe it's guys that got kicked out or something. I don't know.

[Toledo]

They broke up.

[John]

They what? You know, if you're looking for a singer, Rob Menino. Their debut single, Bleed out delivers a polished, heavy and emotionally driven sound that marks their arrival in the Phoenix heavy music scene. I'm worried that Bury the Darkness is no more. They are still right.

[Brett Vesely]

I don't know. I'll text. I'll text Mark and I.

[John]

Because Barry the Bury the Darkness was a bunch of they're great dudes. Been rooting for them from jump. They did. They plan our thing.

[Byron]

I thought.

[John]

Were they in Palladio?

[Byron]

I don't think they were in Playdoh.

[John]

The handsome lads are different. That was a different group. Bury the Darkness was our. They've been on you fest and they helped us out with the Easter keg. That one. They do it every year. They hide kegs force.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John]

Well, now I'm worried and you've got me worried. Well, let's see what these guys have. This is the mess I made. Former members of Bury the Darkness, which is a band that's, you know, real close to exploding. It's called Bleed Out. Let's see what the mess I made's got for us. It's Plato it's 98.

[Toledo]

Every version of me it's still here. Lies where I grow Light round. Maybe healing's just a myth we chase.

[John]

Prettier name for learning to stay with.

[Toledo]

The mess we made I talk in overcast Like I'm afraid to say too much Even silence has its weight and I carry it like R. I can never win Stacking dice like Supernatural Every version of me it's still here. Why swear I drown red rose light up la. Too much.

[John]

I like that one, too. That's good stuff, boys. Well done. That was. That was very marketable music for that genre. That's good. That sounded like. Like nothing more. I mean, it's in that realm of those bands that you're kind of like, man, these guys are. There's something that's modern. It sounded like a modern newer.

[Brett Vesely]

Bring me the horizon.

[John]

Bring me the horizon. That's yeah. Says yeah. I got a good vibe off that. Excellent job. Mess I made is that band. And again the screamo. The the. Sometimes that the screaming parts get me like, yuck. That was melodic. That song had depth. I like that one a lot. Mess I made song is called bleed out. People are emailing. Good vocal mix. Production was great. Made me want a headbang. Please sing the following in Rob Menino. It's not a language. This band is good at what they do. It's not my cup of tea, but at least they're not pooh. Robinino. Now we get people saying they're gonna have sex with their wives tonight. When they finish, they're gonna say robino. Videotape that and send it to Toledo. Sent to Toledo. Said my wannabe emo 16 year old self Loves this. Reminds me of story of the year. Oh, yeah. Forgot about the that story. Yeah, it's got that vibe to it. It's kind of like a. Again, I don't know what these guys look like, but that's going to be important to that sound because you have to have a certain look that goes with that. If you're a bunch of, you know, chunky 45 year olds, that won't fly. But if you guys are, you know, you have to have one strapping guy in that band. You can't all be 51 either. I'm going to give that an eight. Ready?

[Byron]

I'll go eight.

[John]

Another eight.

[Brett Vesely]

I'll do an eight.

[John]

An eight for that one. Oh, boy. Did they just knock out one star night? No. Okay, we're still in the mix. Hey, Rob. Please show up tonight. If Rob Menino shows up with an acoustic guitar, will he just plays and I'll sing songs about him? I don't want to hear from you, Bismuth. This is Mike Tyson's band called business. It's. That's Bismuth, damn it. It's my business. It's my business. Biz myth. Yeah. Song's called wasted. We have hey there, Arizona rockers. As the bio starts, we are big Bismuth. Bismuth. We're a new hard rock band that's been showcasing our. Showcasing our sound around the valley for the past year. We are composed of four members who all contribute their individual styles of various rock genres into one grand sound. We have our lead Guitar and vocalist Billy Badass. It's probably his real name. Gabe on drums, Anthony on bass, and Tomas on rhythm guitar. We have worked hard on all of our music, as has everyone in this, and we're happy to present our song Waste. Well, not everyone, I guess. There was that one guy put no effort in. So much putting effort in. Anyway, it says, we have worked hard on all our music and are happy to present our song Wasted. The song is about wasted talent and how not pushing to reach your dreams can put a hold on you. Boy, boy, that's the truth. We want to thank Audio Confusion for helping us make our dreams reality by recording and mixing our EP Space lady, that dropped earlier this year. Check us out on YouTube and Instagram at Bismuth Band and listen to Space lady now on all major streaming platforms. And their song is called Wasted. Only thing I have is that I sound like I have a speech impediment when I say your voice. Van's name. Bismuth. It's Wasted, everybody. It's Palladio. Submission number 34, man.

[Byron]

6Am I can't.

[Toledo]

Believe that I'm wasted again.

[John]

I'm seeing dreams I can't reach But I chase him again.

[Toledo]

Cancer. For so long My vision.

[John]

It's getting.

[Toledo]

Worse and I'm starting to worry I.

[John]

Haven'T hope just to try to relax.

[Toledo]

I can't believe that I'm wasted again.

[John]

The out. All right. Rid of Bismuth because we were all giggling at dancing the first frog. It's a Patrick Danzig. Patrick Mahomes was a lead singer of Bismuth. I just want to get out there and do my thing, you know, guys, I just want to sing to people since I am. I can't believe I'm wasted again he's got a country song sound, and he's doing Danzig songs. I would suggest that for you, Lee, lead singer, look into country music. You've got the natural kind of back twang that just comes out of your sound.

[Byron]

And lighten up the bass a little bit on the.

[John]

I think the bass player paid for everything. That would be my guess. That song sounded like a bad Danzig cover. Yeah. No. Bring Back Rob Menino is the first text type. Homo negative. All right. Bring back Rob Menino. Bismuth. Bismuth. Wasted all of our time. Thank you, Sean. The song is about wasted talent, huh? Great news for you guys. There was no waste, Kyle. There's nothing you're wasting at all. The singer sounds like he's drowning in the rest of the music. This would sound bad if it was live, let alone produced. Yeah, the production did not do you any favors. And it sounded like Danzig having like his post stroke comeback show. Hear the words you say sometimes.

[Toledo]

I mean, who talks like that?

[John]

98 kill you. PD Holmberg's morning sickness.

[Byron]

Maybe they should have gone with their first episode.

[John]

The first other song I had on that big bio. Tamu Danzig. I changed her name to Biz. Quick, new theme song for the Munsters of the Adams family. What am I listening to? Peter Plastic from type. HIV negative. All right, Steve, that's not right. Peter Plastic, hiv. I'm sorry, Bismuth, that was not very good. I will give that a 3, 4. And again, it's right on the heels of something very good, well produced. And I don't know that you guys are that bad, but the production was horrible. It just was muddy. And you, you have a producer that doesn't understand compression because that's what you just got killed by. Radio compresses. All of it. It doesn't matter. It's not over the air radio. All major radio stations or, you know, XM or whatever platform you're on will compress your music and it muddies it up. So if you don't have a good producer, it turns into.

[Corey]

When you send me a file that's compressed, it looks like a block of green.

[John]

It's going to do it again.

[Corey]

Double it.

[John]

Yeah. If you look at your sound wave, if it's a block, you're in trouble.

[Corey]

Yeah.

[John]

There's a key to this.

[Corey]

There's no dynamics.

[John]

I'm not a producer. But you know what the key to this is? And I learned this years ago. Brett knows it. When you're mixing music with voice, there's a Q speaker. Turn everything down and listen to the mono cue speaker, because that's kind of what you need to. And if you can differentiate on that through the big speakers, it's going to be incredible.

[Brett Vesely]

Crappy Q speaker.

[John]

Yeah, that crappy. The crappy cue speaker is a gold mine for mixing because it's like, oh, I hear all the elements. Which means now when it goes to the big speakers, it's going to be clean. That did not have that. But it's none of my Bismuth. What you guys do from here? The fousies. It's all instrumental.

[Corey]

This one, Well, I listened to it twice and it says that they have a vocalist here or lead guitar. Sorry, no.

[John]

Yeah, that's not a vocalist.

[Brett Vesely]

This is Dan Dar's new band.

[John]

It's the new Dandar. It's A single guy. Because he says, here is my submission for Plato. Oh, Nope. My band of three others. He doesn't even include that. My submission. Even though these jackasses are here with me.

[Byron]

They didn't. They weren't in on it.

[John]

Chris, Rick and Randy, Andy Yohry with lead guitar, and Jared Gabriel's. Here's one Trap Boy Jared. Jared Gabriel. Sorry. Here's one track. Let me know if you need anything else for submissions. The song is called Real Crew. R E E L Crew. I don't need that Real Crew. It's an instrumental, so deal with it. It's the Fousies. Good luck, boys. Oh, the man's trying to eat the out. Yeah, you know. What are you doing? What are you doing? Get a singer, for Christ's sake. What are we doing? When's the last time you heard of instrumental on a radio? Winning again.

[Brett Vesely]

Talk about over compressed.

[John]

Yeah, it's over compressed. But you're also just showing off you're good at what you play. That's great. Now put a song together.

[Byron]

Felt like I was cruising on a lake on a bass boat.

[John]

Exactly. Yeah. Again, it goes back to, like, a B movie where, you know, Colin Hanks and, like, he's the big star, and they're floating across a river on a bass boat. That's very good for you. Maybe one of those airboats in Florida. And you got. It's the beginning and it's. They couldn't afford good music, so they hired that instrumental for the background. Bikini Car Wash 3 would have that going while they wash the cars. Come on. You guys are good players. Why aren't you? We don't like singers. Singers ruin it. All right, well, then enjoy not making a penny, ever.

[Brett Vesely]

ZZ Bottom.

[John]

Yeah, the problem with instrumental music is it's much easier to tell how repetitive it is. But Dandar did step it up this year, and let's give him credit. You're right. You know, Dandar is back with their instrumental super song. You have to wonder, would it sound good? No, no. I'm trying to play the no plans guy. It's terrible. All right.

[Corey]

Yeah.

[John]

Instrumentals don't work. And I know you're like, well, singers are a pain in the ass, and we don't need it. We're all about the music. All right, well, then you're gonna enjoy that by yourselves. I will give that a 2. Not because you're bad. There's just no point in that.

[Brett Vesely]

I go three.

[John]

Brady.

[Byron]

Four.

[John]

You're probably great. You're good players. Why are you Being stubborn and you'll argue with me.

[Toledo]

Oops.

[John]

Why can't it shut up. Stop it. If you need a singer, there's a guy named Rob Menino. He's out there. I mean, he could put words to that. He could put words to that.

[Byron]

Could have been more of an audition. Submitting one of these bands might swoop on him.

[John]

It could be. Well, Menino's out there. I hate that song. It ruined my day. I can no longer make jokes about the gays. Robin. Nino. Thanks, Justin. All right. Would Piss ball Pete sing Rob Menino? I think you could. Somebody will. Somebody will do it tonight. All right, we got Invisible you. Oh, I like the name of this song. Gutter master. Oh, the bios are getting two pages long. Come on. My name is Mason from the band Invisible. You were a local group from Scottsdale and I wanted to share our debut single gutter for potential airplayer future consideration on kpd. Invisible you is a three piece metal core band from Scottsdale or sound. Blend cinematic atmosphere with emotional intensity. Combining heavy breakdowns, haunting metal of these and raw lyrical honesty. Fronted by myself on guitar and vocals with Nate on bass and synths and Bonham on drums. How about that? Thought he was bad. Nice job, guys. Good get. We bring a sense of urgency and emotion to every performance. We draw inspirations from modern heavy acts like Sleep Took and Loathe Thornhill while shaping a sound and visual world that feels deeply, personally, vividly alive. Our debut single, gutter introduces a world with or introduces that world with full force. The song explores shame, identity and the breaking point between who we are and who we pretend to be. It moves from moments of suffocating tension to explosive release. Rameno capturing the sound of everything finally snapping Gutter. Both a statement and an invitation into Invisible. Use vision. All right. You built it up. Mason's last name is Slump, which I would have gone with as a band name, but you chose your goal different direction there. All right. The song is called Gutter. It's invisible. You thrillers here, hop on a mic.

[Brett Vesely]

Thriller.

[John]

Listen to you. It's invisible you by gutter.

[Toledo]

It's 98k update. What is life? It's been a while since you've shown your face but it's good to know you're still there I see now in the way you wear around your neck now you're everything to me. As I say that you're so for real. You swallow the day I lost the party you love burning me down you swallow the day I take the b sh you through the ground.

[John]

The out. That's Gutter from Invisible. You and Thrillers joining us. Corey Walsh is here.

[Toledo]

Hey there.

[John]

I thought I'd hop in last second, take all the credit. Unless you're good at it. Yeah, you always show up when the show's about to end. You're. You make me feel good. Walking yesterday morning and I just got here. No, that's true. You walk to work now. No, that's a bad idea. It is. That song there by Invisible.

[Toledo]

You.

[John]

I felt. And maybe you guys all felt. Felt the same way. They're very good now. I'd like to hear them sing a good song. Fair.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

It just didn't go anywhere. Yeah, it was just there.

[John]

The song was not good, but you guys all sounded very good. The singer was good. The production was good. The instruments were. The song's not. It's. Maybe it's good on an album that's not a hit song. That's not a. Go grab them. In fact, Kyle says Invisible, you change your name to Mute you. Because that's what I did. See, it's not a song that's going to grab. It doesn't make you mad.

[Byron]

But it's also a tough spot being band 36.

[John]

It's just not a good song to me.

[Byron]

So much there.

[John]

Yeah. I think it's just not a good song. It's okay. Thriller. You heard that's the first one you're in?

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John]

If you need help sleeping, though, that's a good one. All right. Thrillers. Thriller's a bit of a C word right off the bat. He's only gotten you for one band. Brett.

[Byron]

Four.

[John]

Okay. Brady.

[Byron]

Five.

[John]

Yeah. It's the song. I don't want to give them a bad score because I think they're good. I just think they need a songwriter to come help them out.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, but it's about your first impression. So at the end of the day.

[John]

Four. Four. Yeah, it's. I want that to be better. I want you to be better because I think you can be. The singer's really good. I actually like that guy's voice. He was solid, but the band. The song just stunk. Lady Strange and the rights got three left.

[Corey]

We need a good.

[John]

Take a break. We're fine. I'm in.

[Brett Vesely]

Just.

[John]

Oh, you know what? Let's take one. We'll take one. We don't need to. But you know what? We'll do it just so you shut up. That works out perfect. Let's do it. Lady Strange and the rights. Coming up, dawn of the Rising and Without fear. Those are the three we've got left. And then you scratch one off because.

[Corey]

He submitted two different emails, was disguised by ashes, so. And then his second email came in with just his name, so I thought it was two different people.

[John]

Gotcha. So we got three to go. Thank Christ. We're almost done. Lady Strange in the right, There is a God, dawn of the Rising and Without fear. And you know what's even weirder about this today? If we get through this in the next little bit. We will. I think we should play the top five songs. All of them. Okay. We normally just play a clip. Yeah, let me just give them all a run because we're looking at right now. Well, let's not jinx it. But there's some quality on this list that I'm.

[Brett Vesely]

Man, we still going to play the ones that.

[John]

Yes. You're not going to be able to go. I need Pete. I need to hear Pete again. Oh, you need Pete. We'll get you. We'll get you some Pete. Get that. All right. We keep going with Pleadio. We're. We're locking it up. And I'm not miserable. Normally at this time, I'm miserable. Not yet.

[Toledo]

It's.

[John]

You guys have kept us alive. This year, it's 98 KUPD, Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect. Still streaming Homberg's Morning sickness [e-mail]. Alrighty. Look at this, boys. I got this email just popped in. Thank you guys for playing my song. It's from Rob Menino. Yeah, it says. Oh, sorry, Corey. It says, I didn't even know that I was going to be featured in this year's event. I emailed that song to Toledo weeks ago and I never heard anything. I jumped in my work truck and heard you say my name over and over. And I was like, what the hell? Anyway, thanks for the free promotion and the last. I have to go back and listen to the feedback. Oh, no, no, no, you don't. No, you don't. You're good. You're good. Love the show. I've been listening to you guys since the early days. I also went to Dahlia in high school. Oh, I'll talk slower. I'm sorry. I didn't know you were one of ours. Mustang pride usually comes with a 48th, 50th in education. Yeah. C minus kind of vibe around it. Well, thanks, Rob. And thanks for being a good sport and hanging out with us. But you are the talk of the town right now. Rob Robino Romanino didn't hear the critiques. Didn't really care. Gotten my work truck road over there. Robino. Lady Strange and the rights are next. Ready? The final three. Brett said it just seconds ago. You know, play DOH is an easy week for us, but it's. It's painful. I did not get a painful vibe this year. I know we've got three left and I don't want to jinx it.

[Corey]

There you go.

[John]

For the most part this has been a really good one. We've had some high highs.

[Brett Vesely]

Absolutely.

[John]

And some low lows. And 40 bands seems like most of.

[Brett Vesely]

The time the second day is more difficult this year it seemed like the first day was more difficult cuz it took us 13 almost to get to.

[John]

But when we got them.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh yeah.

[John]

Out of the yard.

[Toledo]

Yes.

[John]

We'Re Lady Strange in the rights. We formed about a year ago and have since released an album and toured the west west coast. That's hard to do. We're a mix of modern and rock, classic rock with a fuzzy occult atmosphere. Here's our Try our track stuck in Motion. Lady Strange and the rights Stuck in Motion. Three minutes and eight seconds from now. We'll see if that's gonna make it all the way through. It's 98 KUPD.

[Toledo]

Good luck.

[John]

Oh my God.

[Toledo]

That.

[John]

I feel like I've been stabbed in the heart.

[Toledo]

No out heart. Stop.

[John]

I'll say the gun.

[Toledo]

What the is there to think about?

[John]

So stop.

[Toledo]

Emotion. Can't stop it now Stop your. Please, baby.

[John]

I. I left it played the hell you'd stay in that. Because I was waiting to see. At one point did someone say, hey, let's fix this.

[Byron]

Somebody get murdered?

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

It was just like, murder sounds better.

[John]

Who produced that? They threw everything. Yeah, there was. The word no was never said in production. Not once. They're like, hey, don't do that.

[Toledo]

That.

[John]

Yeah, try it again. They said let's double it. That was a lot. But they did give Brady a free hearing test at the start there.

[Toledo]

That's.

[John]

You know what?

[Byron]

Checking it.

[John]

That's nice. Make a good point. Did you hear that? Raise your right hand.

[Toledo]

What? What?

[John]

I felt like Brady there in the beginning. Like, is there someone singing or am I just not hearing?

[Brett Vesely]

Kid me. I was jealous of Brady during that song.

[John]

I saw him leaning in to hear better. I'm like, no, no, no, you're fine.

[Toledo]

Don't leave.

[John]

No, no. Lean out. Yeah.

[Byron]

What's that?

[John]

That was.

[Brett Vesely]

You spoke too soon before we went into that song.

[John]

You know, I gave it a nice little moment and then they screwed me up. That. I don't know if that band's good or bad or not. But if that's what they're putting there as their best foot forward, they need to start over. That was a mess.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John]

And I don't know if it was the song. The production was horrible.

[Toledo]

John.

[Corey]

I feel like you guys have stacked the decks this year, but honestly it's been surprisingly 80% good, 20% bad, 100% gay.

[John]

That sounds like Joan Jet in the prop plane. Which one of you let that thing run so long? That was me. I was first out. Is this how Brady hears all the time? Sorry Brady, that was awful for you.

[Corey]

No, it's just like a warm hug for him.

[John]

This one says the only thing that I've hated about Plato this year is Toledo speaking when he's not saying. Spoken to. Wow. Taking a swing at Toledo for no reason.

[Corey]

Thanks, Paula.

[John]

No, it's from a guy named Jason. Sounded like a cat in the dryer. I'm sorry? A gay cat in the dryer to keep the theme alive. Almost Gay Cat in a Dryer. It's a good album name. I think. More so they fuzzed up that intro to the one Breaking Benjamin song there too. That's kind of a ripoff.

[Corey]

Let's not go that far.

[John]

Lady strangely writes. I think that just cast a spell on me.

[Toledo]

Me.

[John]

Lady Strange and the rights make me wish ladies had no rights. Okay.

[Corey]

Oh Suffragette.

[John]

This makes me want to punch Mark Kelly and everyone on the left because I hate Lady Strange. On the right you get political. Oh my goodness. All right.

[Brett Vesely]

We got people asking us tonight.

[Toledo]

It's.

[Brett Vesely]

It's a free show completely. Yeah, that's what get there.

[John]

About 6:30 the bands start loading up about then we try to get the first one off around 6:30. Usually about 6:45. The trickle in factor as the night goes on is usually pretty good.

[Corey]

So the bar is open as well. I think they do a happy hour. So if you're downtown already, swing by and show up.

[John]

Five, six o'. Clock. We'll hang out, we'll drink. But 6:30 is when everything really starts going. And then by 9:30 usually we have them all done. Yeah. Oh, at the latest at Copper Blue.

[Brett Vesely]

Sooner than that.

[Toledo]

If you.

[Brett Vesely]

If one star knight makes it.

[John]

Oh that's true.

[Brett Vesely]

It's 16 seconds.

[John]

So 20 minutes setup. 20 minutes tear down 16 second song. I gave lady strange and the rights two because of women. It's. I got to double my score cuz there's a lady in the band, Brady.

[Byron]

I'll go deuce.

[Brett Vesely]

Not worth it.

[John]

11 from Brett. A total score of five yees. All right. The next one up is dawn of the Rising. And Toledo doesn't like this one because the name is Dawn's in it.

[Toledo]

Yep.

[John]

His ex wife triggered. Dawn of the rising, founded in 2016. Melodic hardcore metal band out of the southwest from Phoenix, Arizona. Vocals by get ready, Brett Ray. All right. Guitars by Ignacio Safid. And there's a black circle around Justin Coon's name. They played last year.

[Corey]

They did.

[John]

We had the Coon boys in here last time and they. Chris Keener and Ricky Page also in this band. Dawn of the Rising is back again. The song is called make your peace. All right, see what they've got. Make your piece from dawn of the Rising, Plato's penultimate band. Let's find out what they've got.

[Toledo]

When the devil comes for you there's nothing you can do Sing a prayer up to heaven John's got to pay your dues. If you're fearing the devil look deep within in your soul it's just your demons catching up when you make your peace we gotta go. When it's all in front of you the choice is up to you Conjure all the strength you have the rebuff's coming for you for you Be up.

[John]

Here in the devil.

[Toledo]

Deep within your soul it's just your demons catching up with you make your peace with God and go.

[John]

I feel like I've been staging a hut.

[Toledo]

All right.

[John]

Dawn of the Rising. That one is called make your peace. I felt like I was listening to Ghost Megadeth. Oh, wow. Yeah, it had.

[Brett Vesely]

Brady called it with Alice Cooper in there.

[John]

Very Alice Cooper. Yeah, very, very much that. Oops, sorry. Say it again.

[Toledo]

Corey.

[John]

I was gonna say prepubescent Metallica. Yeah, it's. Yeah, it's kind of like. It's like, oh, they're almost there. Muppet Babies. Metallica. Yes. Yeah. All that build up, all that hype in the vocals. Like, oh, I want to see Muppet Baby. He's Metallica. You bring that in. Dawn of the Rising make your peace. I think the song's just another situation where the song just wasn't very good. You might be great at what you do. The song just wasn't very good. Sounded like Dave must gain.

[Toledo]

All right.

[John]

This guy said it too. Ghost and Megadeth, but had a cleaner sound. Someone get a fire extinguisher to put the flames out.

[Brett Vesely]

Gay trans Megadeth on estrogen.

[John]

Gay Mustaine. This One says if the gay theater teacher from high school tried to do an interpretation of rock music. Oh, no. It's Mr. Olson from Dobson High. This is how you sound as a rocker. Okay, Robino, this one just says, yeesh. Phallus Cooper and Dave Mustaine song rejects. Sounds like Dave Mustaine and Avenged Sevenfold had a child. Yeah, it's like a no offense Thriller, but it's like a Dave Mustaine sevenfold preemie. It ain't right. Most of the pieces are there. Yeah.

[Corey]

From a surprise police officer. I hate to say it, but I'm driving into oncoming traffic.

[John]

Don't do it. Were they wearing black and yellow? I think that was Striper. Yeah. Sounds like it was written by Deal. And I got a text from our own John Gordon. He said 10 and then he hung up.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John]

So even with a 10, will they make it to the finals? We'll add in John Gordon's 10. I'm going to give them a three.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, I'm good with a three.

[John]

Brady sounds good. Threes all around. That's a 19. You're not going to make it. Even with John Gordon's 10 added in with Phis Cooper, Phallus Cooper is pretty perfect.

[Byron]

Solid.

[John]

Alice Cooper's pretty cool. Yeah. All right, here we go.

[Corey]

Has to end on a high note, right, John?

[John]

You know, song is called Without Fear, and the band is called Gaslighter. No, no, no, it's the other way around. Gaslighter is the song. Without Fear is the band. Speaking of gaslighting, I got an email from a lady who said, what am I supposed to do with my husband? Gaslighting has been this new thing for last few years. This dude's pulling a gem on her, and she goes. He constantly says, I don't flush toilets. And she goes, but I think he's peeing and putting toilet paper in there to make me feel like I did it. Oh, or you're not flushing the toilet. Let me continue the gaslighting. I can tell by the smell.

[Byron]

What?

[John]

I can tell girl pee from boy pee. I'm like, what's the difference? Look at the size of my nose. There's more of an alkaline kind of scent to a woman's. It's got an. I'm not kidding.

[Corey]

Follow the nose.

[John]

Yeah, Follow this nose. It always knows for flavors of piss. Just follow this dick. I. I can tell a girl pee smell if they leave it in there. It's. It's got a weird. It's almost fragrant to an odd smell. It's like an odd bad flower. Whereas a man's pee just smells like minerals. I've been enough to men's bathrooms to know. You go into a girl's bathroom, it's got like a. You go into a girl's bathroom plenty of times. It's got kind of a soury, almost spoiled smell. I mean, it's coming out of her sewer, man. It's right there. Yeah, Yeah, I can tell. So if you need me to come over your house. Are you being gaslit? I could do it. Are you being gaslit or are you actually not flushing the toilet? That's pretty cool that this guy's got you reeling. Throw some TP in there and. God damn it. You didn't flush again. I swear I did. Craig, I don't know what's going on. One more time. I swear to God, if you do this again, you're out. Oh, my God. I swear. Morning sickness.

[Toledo]

Hear the words you say sometimes. I mean, who talks like that?

[John]

Holmberg's morning sickness. That's a pretty ridiculous gaslighting situation. And that brings us to our final song, Without Fear's Gaslighter. It's a Phoenix based rock band that Bland blends. Blands is a bad start. It blends emotional intensity with melodic grit, creating music that speaks to the soul and shakes the stone. Stage. Formed by longtime friends and collaborators Justin Marbury and Dan Drago. Drago, Come on. One immediate point for Drago, you will lose. Yeah. The band was formed from a shared vision to craft honest, hard hitting rock. Rounding out the lineup is Dale Keys on bass, Brett McKinney on drums and John Gordon on guitar. Wait a second. What is this? Our own JG hot diggity. Well then he takes the 10 away from the last band and he immediately gives it to this. One dynamic interplay and three part harmony vocals adds depth to the band's signature sound. Their upcoming single, Gaslighter is about a woman who doesn't flush. You bastards. It's produced by Arizona rock veteran Larry Elio. Hey, can we get Larry on the phone from John and actually get that production time back? A blistering track that marks a new chapter in their sonic evolution. Without Fear has shared the stage with national acts like Edema and Trapped, earning a reputation for electrifying live performances and a loyal a loyal following in the southwest rock scene. John G. He's got his own shirt on.

[Toledo]

Sure enough.

[John]

That's gay. I'll just get it out of the way now. It's coming regardless. John, are you nervous? Nope, not at all. You're pretty confident. Okay. John Gordon is really liking. Did you like the. The last song?

[Toledo]

No.

[John]

Okay, good. That's a good sign.

[Byron]

Good tester.

[Corey]

Good.

[John]

All right. Without fear. Gaslighter. Our own JG's in it. Who knew? I just found that out now. All right, here we go. Let's see if John's got it. We're going to be brutally honest, buddy. All right, here we go.

[Toledo]

Manipulation of the mind to avoid everything you deny you you are questioning what's wrong and what is right. You're so ashamed of the truth you carried you try to keep them locked inside so you can eventually bury them with all your lies with all your lies so lighted up and keep feeding the flames but we've had enough we're playing your mindless games and so light it up and says where the price is higher you can watch it over to the ground higher. Burning down all this energy with all your toxic energy. He was questioning our own reality that his function is hide your mind it's all been poisoning and we have always taken the blame for everything.

[John]

For everything.

[Toledo]

It's so lighted up it keeps it in the face We've had enough F your mindless g. So lighting it up.

[John]

And as the sm.

[Toledo]

You can watch it over to the ground and. Sam. And keep feeding the flames We've had enough Playing your mindless game it's so light it up and the smoke rises higher you can watch it over to the ground W your gaslight.

[John]

Look at that. The last song by the last band makes it all the way through because one of the members was staring at us the whole time, pantomiming.

[Byron]

I just want to light my gaslighter.

[John]

That's our own John Gordon and his band Without Fear. We didn't. I. Toledo knew. I did not know that John had entered. And I gotta say that's a. I'm. It's catchy tune, guys.

[Corey]

People are saying, john, you are deducting a point from the jump for wearing his own shirt.

[John]

No, no, I took that off right off. Right off the bat. It's. It's. That's. I just said. Is Corey Taylor in this band? That was sweet, huh? How about that? Their singer's really good. I like, liked him a lot. As much as you tell all the bands not to sound local, you score the bands that actually have mass potential. Low and crappy bands, high veins of ether sizzic and invisible, you actually have a larger appeal. I don't know any of their appeal. And Piss on Balls gets a higher score. It's not even a song. It's literally a joke. Maybe every band should submit a 10. Oh, somebody's mad. West Valley Music AZ has gotten mad at me. Look, doesn't mean that might be one.

[Corey]

Of the ones that tried to submit yesterday, by the way, was our song.

[John]

This doesn't mean your your fate is sealed.

[Byron]

Right.

[John]

It just means that you didn't pop.

[Byron]

Right.

[John]

And that song did. That was a fun song. 16 second song can be fun and silly and we gave it a good score cuz it got us. That's it. Do we want to listen to that again or not? And a lot of them we don't. Right.

[Toledo]

Right.

[John]

So. So that's it. John Gordon. Nice guitar solo. Finally some talent in Brady's family. Just kidding. Not really related. I did not play that solo. They think you're Charlie. That wasn't you on the solo. You're just really rhythm guitar guitar player. I'm disappointing. Another point off the singer though. Justin. He was in a band that was second in play deal years ago called Hollisate. Oh, Holla State. Yeah, I know for singer Justin was in holla state. No kidding. That was that year.

[Corey]

That was a battle that.

[John]

Yeah, he won by a flood, they lost by a coin flip. Was he the Saints fan? Is he in New World? No, no, he's a KC fan. Okay, well he might have another point off. Yeah, another point. You guys. These guys are killing your hopes.

[Toledo]

John.

[Corey]

I have to give it up for Jay and the G's.

[John]

Yeah, I liked it. I, I, I thought two things as I'm listening to that. Not enough like vocal arrangement. I heard things that were missing. Like when you go into that pre chorus, the backup singer should be doing some sort of ooh thing going on. It's just the vocalist the whole time. I think if you broke that up with like a couple little additions that break away that because the song, the song is great. But when I'm hearing something like ooh, that would sound sound cool there that I've heard a couple of those. We'll go over it after because I'm gonna get your opinion.

[Corey]

I felt like he was a little deep in the mix. He wasn't kind of on top of it.

[John]

Just that's no the singer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't. Our speakers in here stink. Put it on my headphones. I actually really like that one. Yeah. If I had any complaint it would be that there was stuff that I wanted it to have that it didn't. And I thought maybe the vocalist could actually push more he said, came at it with about an 8, and I know he's got a 10. That guy can sing. That was good. Brett, what'd you think? I got a nine going with a nine for them. Kind of like that one a lot.

[Brett Vesely]

With you on that one. I mean, it was just.

[John]

Just something.

[Brett Vesely]

Just missing something.

[John]

Like everything's great, you know, when I'd listen. Very catchy chorus. But when I'm listening, I'm like, I'm listening for somebody. Oh, in the back. Or something like that. Just to kind of go along with. There's a hole in it somewhere. Yeah, I'm gonna go an eight, Brady, eight as well. All right. Guess what? You got something to do tonight, I think. How about that? Let's hear it for everybody. Even if the West Valley music people pop in and every year we hear from somebody goes, you didn't like the bands I like, so the whole thing stinks.

[Brett Vesely]

You're taking the day off.

[John]

I'll email you back and go, you didn't like the bands I liked. We're even. John Gordon. I'm impressed. Well done. Limp Bizkit just dropped a new song, by the way, after hearing that called Making Love to John Gordon in the studio. So I think that's great. Said and tell West Valley music that two years ago Katie and the Hobbs got a three, and next year they won. So suck it. Kevin's right.

[Brett Vesely]

That song rocked. Not gay. Had me moving at my desk.

[John]

Yeah, I was dancing. It's got a great chorus. Who writes it? Okay, the two guys. It's awesome. That sounded really good, John. Nice job. Be proud of that. So there's a hole in it. I just. I can't.

[Brett Vesely]

Right.

[John]

I want to listen again and go right there, right there. Because there were a couple times my brain heard things that weren't there. And a couple of times that happens.

[Brett Vesely]

Underdeveloped song by a good band.

[John]

Exactly. This one says, I loved it. I could definitely. I could hear that on the radio every day. Nice job. Yeah, you guys are getting positive feedback. Nobody's called you gay yet. Give it time. They will, they will. If they like you, they'll call you again. That's exactly. Well, that's not true.

[Corey]

Do we want to break up the three way tie for fifth or do we want to try and have three?

[John]

Well, we got all seven of them. Let's see how many can come. Five, but let's get right to our.

[Corey]

But I'm asking you if all seven can come, do we want to do seven?

[John]

Sure. One of them plays a 16 second song. Maybe if all seven can come, they'll only do the one song. Song submitted.

[Toledo]

Okay.

[John]

Except for that 16 second band. This has been, as I was about to say, my email popped and said it. This is the best year of Playdoh we've ever had. Now we've had a couple of them where we go live. And I remember that one year Larry, we were up at Desert Ridge and Larry turned to me and he goes, I'm putting two of these bands in you fest next year. And he did. And, and, and the awesome part was we all thought to ourselves, I would have paid for that. I think we've said that about a couple. I'd pay for the live show. It's free entertainment. And these are. These guys are great. And you support local music, so screw you, West Valley music. This is all about supporting the local music and the bands that did well. And every year we have five or six where you're like, you know what? You picked the right bands. Doesn't mean everybody stunk outside of the finalists. I just did Cizik and the other ones that you're bitching about didn't make it because they're close, but not close enough.

[Brett Vesely]

Nobody could believe we picked Katie and the Hobbs last year. And this year nobody bitched about the song.

[John]

Right?

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John]

Not a peep.

[Byron]

That has a little something to do with it. On the live side of it.

[Brett Vesely]

Sure.

[Byron]

I hear this. Doing our intro in the morning.

[John]

Yeah.

[Byron]

But now it's. These are. These bands are more.

[John]

What was that?

[Byron]

Something more to the bands, I think this year. As far as.

[John]

What was that band? Quality Gorgeous people a couple years ago.

[Corey]

Last year.

[Brett Vesely]

Forts.

[John]

Jesus. That girl was stunning. And they didn't win, but they could have. Is that last year? Yeah, that was last year. I was there for it, man. Yep.

[Corey]

And she does major stuff for the electronic gaming scene.

[John]

Okay.

[Corey]

Like those, those big tournaments and stuff.

[John]

Esports tournaments. Yeah.

[Corey]

There you go. Thank you.

[John]

She was ridiculous and easy to look at. And then the guy next to her, I'm like, you know, to follow this year's theme. Gay. Because that guy was beautiful. They were a beautiful group of people. Figure skate on the side and they, they didn't win. And they were spectacular. And I'm hoping that they have a huge ones. But we went to those things like somebody should be paying for this. They shouldn't be here. So I hope we have that again tonight. And I get that feeling we're going to have that with D, DJ Beth, Sheba, Jesus, Christmas. That was what A song. All right, well, we'll have to compile number one.

[Corey]

Last year, going in, they didn't win so great.

[John]

I think they had a sound issue, remember? And it took, like, 30 minutes to get going. And we were like, you use too many tracks. You got to just go, all right, let's get a little compilation of the top seven for Toledo to put together for us and get this thing done. Nice job. This is. This has been a very pleasant year. Normally, I. I walk away going, oh, that was tragic. I actually wish there were more. And we've got 10 more bands than normal this year. And it wasn't 10 sucky bands more than normal. We actually got a nice B.

[Brett Vesely]

There was suck in there, but it wasn't as bad as, you know, certain.

[John]

Certainly suck in there. I mean, I go no further than this. Yes, we do have plans tonight at Copper Blues. We can go over all of this together live and see if these bands can pull it off in person. And keep in mind, we've got seven good bands on this list. Two can't make it, or we'd have nine. Brett.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, man.

[John]

We almost had nine great bands. Could you imagine the battle between the reckless and reckless Eden and the Witness Protection. Witness Protection and DJ Bathsheba. There's three almost perfect singers.

[Brett Vesely]

I'd pay for that show.

[John]

I'd pay for that, too. Playdoh is over, and we are pleased. If you're not, we don't care. It's 98, Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect. 90 days. Still streaming. Homberg's morning sickness [e-mail]. Everybody's canceling. We might not have a show tonight at all. Who's this? Sheba? DJ Beth. Sheba. Damn it, lady. Get It Together says, oh, my God. Thank you so much for playing my song. I'm actually a truck driver. What? Out on the road right now. So I can't make it to the competition tonight. Turn that big rig around. We got a convoy.

[Toledo]

Let's go.

[Brett Vesely]

Large Marge.

[John]

But I'm beyond. What are you. What kind of flash dance movie am I watching that? You're a truck driver with an angelic voice like that. But I'm beyond grateful for all your kind words. You had me cracking up the whole time. I honestly love your station. Had to share a little bit about me. I sing, rap and write my own music. I'm not. Not AI, But I do use AI tools to help with things like mixing and mastering. Nothing wrong with that. Some instrument production. I'm really an artist and writer first. AI just helps bring my ideas to life. Thanks again for the love. I mean it. DJ Beth. Sheba. The Alchemist. Turn around.

[Brett Vesely]

He's bounding down. Let's go.

[John]

Will somebody get the Bandit in front of her and haul her ass back here like a load of cores?

[Byron]

She's got a live show tonight. Bucket.

[John]

He's got a. I'm playing at Buc Ees in Oklahoma. OkC. Buc Ees has me.

[Corey]

John G. That puts you on at around 8:30.

[Toledo]

You're.

[John]

He's saying his singer sick. It's going to be me and you.

[Corey]

The top three are out.

[John]

Corey, can you sing?

[Toledo]

If you.

[John]

Uncle Friday Larry's going to play. He's going to dj. Yes.

[Corey]

Bring your.

[John]

Bring your tux. DJ Bath Schieber. You owe a ton to us. It's Thanksgiving. What are you doing in a truck? Turn around and get back here. Besides, what's a woman driving a truck for?

[Byron]

Passenger.

[John]

Are they allowed? Can't even.

[Toledo]

That's.

[John]

Can't even pee in a bottle.

[Toledo]

What are you doing?

[John]

That's not against the. Exactly. How do you pee in that weird bottle that truckers have? I need you to be here because I got to hear that song. All right.

[Brett Vesely]

She's like frog with the Bandit. She's.

[John]

You know.

[Corey]

She's.

[John]

She's not driving.

[Toledo]

Come on.

[Byron]

She's just.

[Toledo]

She's handing.

[John]

The Bandit's handling her in a park and stuff. Okay. Yeah. I want some pictures with time dates on them that says you're in some sort of a truck. What are you hauling? DJ Bathsheba and singing. I want to be a passenger on your road trips. The songs are got to be beautiful. Listening to you sing the whole way.

[Brett Vesely]

So these people are saying tell people if they can't play then they should.

[John]

All these great bands are like we're out of town and I know it's Thanksgiving week so we run that risk. But so far so good on that.

[Brett Vesely]

She's AI until she proves otherwise.

[John]

And that's from General that's what I said. What about the other guys? It's AI until we say different. I gotta make a U turn and jackknife this back to Phoenix.

[Byron]

What if she has Yosemite Sam on the mud flaps shooting guns?

[John]

I hope so.

[Corey]

Rootinous tootinist.

[John]

He's been downloaded. Our pan Trucking. Come on now. Bathsheba. We gotta get our asses down there to stand up live. Cup of blue are waiting on you. What's that?

[Toledo]

Huh?

[John]

Is that Is that on mine? Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

I don't know.

[John]

Explain something. Shouldn't be mine anyway. Well, DJ Bathsheba is not going to make. Well, let's go through our top bands anyway. We got 10 of them.

[Corey]

Texters are saying, you realize how loaded this contest really sounds. Now, John, you've got four that won't be there tonight that actually won, and you already had two of the top vote getters that are were immediately out. What the f, man?

[John]

John Gordon's going to win. And it's in house. This is garbage. There we are. That's what we need. Turn around, girl. I got also. What'd you say? Hey, maybe we're looking for bats fever out there. Puke and choke or what do they call that thing? It's wet Beaver.

[Toledo]

Here, Bandit. I saw bathsheba on the 60.

[John]

Let's get her home. All right, honey, let's start that roadblock out there. A bunch of bubblegum's coming up behind you. Hush Puppies Daddy. Shut your mouth, Junior.

[Byron]

What was the dog's name?

[John]

Red. Red, for Christ's sake. Must be chasing somebody pretty good. You have no idea. Boy, this girl sings like an angel knocking down mail buckets.

[Brett Vesely]

You sound a lot taller on radio.

[John]

And then, and then Sheriff would see DJ Bastieva go, I'm looking for Bathsheba. I'm Bathsheba. You sound a lot taller on the radio. See, she's black. Just like when he saw Sheriff Little.

[Brett Vesely]

Sheriff Branford.

[John]

Sheriff Branford, that's right. Was it Chickasaw county, or am I confusing that with those Duke boys? What's this world coming to, Junior? We got a girl black, about to win the playdate.

[Toledo]

Yo.

[John]

Hush Puppies Daddy.

[Brett Vesely]

Well, we almost had an Indian, too, but he's on tour.

[John]

We got Indians, we got ladies. Yeah, black people got John.

[Corey]

Your band, John.

[John]

Yeah, that's like an ar. Like an Aryan race over there. It's going to look like the proud boys on stage. So he gets a free win and it's all white up there.

[Toledo]

Okay.

[John]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that's how it works. Oh, White. We got rid of the new Negro. The Indian and the girl. Congratulations, John Gordon. The proud boys of this year's winner. Man, she's beautiful, too. Well, congratulations, Rob Menino. You're our champion. This write the theme song next year. Let's find out what we've got. Toledo, who you got up first? Ddmnrs is the seventh band here. And they.

[Byron]

They.

[John]

You know, I'm playing.

[Toledo]

It's called Casual Friday.

[John]

Second band on the List is. Is the Thomas James Band. I like them a lot. Yesterday that was a groove. Black Crows, Stone Temple Pilots, kind of their own thing. I like them. Next one on the list was from yesterday as well. Grave of the monuments. And that was Suffocate. Suffocate. Like it. That's going to be loud tonight. If they can make it. I don't know if they.

[Brett Vesely]

This trip won't be there.

[John]

Yep. The mess I made that came from today. The mess I made is guys from various. The Darkness.

[Brett Vesely]

Former members.

[John]

Former members. One of the former members. I don't know if they had two or three, but this was a really quality version.

[Corey]

Something happened to my file here.

[John]

Song called Bleed Out. You want me to start it over here?

[Corey]

Yeah, you might have to play it over there.

[John]

Some Bleed out file already. The mess I made a little really good production on this. That sounds way more than local. All right. Got that one going. And then of course, the next one would be One Star Night. Already can't make it.

[Corey]

Already can't make it.

[John]

What? Yeah, yeah, he can't come either. He's. This guy can't just show up either. Let me tell you a story.

[Toledo]

A man named Piss Ball Pete his dick so Smiley pissed on his ball.

[John]

For you, Cory. Thank you.

[Toledo]

I really.

[John]

I really need to hear that more often. Me too. Without Fear. Was the other one. Was that today or yesterday? That's today.

[Corey]

It's John Gordon's B. Oh, I'm sorry.

[Brett Vesely]

You're right.

[John]

Was the last one. It's a catchy song, Johnny. And of course, the last one is Blood Eagle Army. Remember Blood Eagle army from last year? 2021, actually, Didn't this just go haywire?

[Toledo]

I don't remember this one.

[John]

This goes crazy.

[Corey]

Favorite being this.

[Toledo]

Take.

[John]

It goes nuts in a second. I want to hear better than I remember up to now. They got mad at us. Here we go. Three different time Z. Anyway, so, yeah, you had that going for you. And then what was the other one we had? Well, what was the top one?

[Corey]

DJ Bathsheba.

[John]

So good the tone of this person's voice. She's out there hauling Wonder Bread from place to place. Walmart truck. She's running over Tracy Morgan as we speak. Here comes DJ B.

[Toledo]

She look out. I've been walking through the ashes of my past High heels on the gravel moving fast Every scar I got a story I survive it's one of those.

[John]

Things that voices when you hear, like, the girl walks into the thing go, all right, what do you got? And she starts singing and Everybody just goes, holy. I don't like country music.

[Brett Vesely]

We're gonna play the two that can't.

[John]

Make, and then the two that can't come. That were why, right?

[Byron]

Why bother?

[John]

Why bother? Because it's great stuff. You broke our hearts, Witness. Yeah, they broke our hearts. That's why Brady. We got to sometimes reminisce about an old girl. Witness protection. Hang on.

[Byron]

Let me hold my boom box up.

[John]

Breath of Poison. We accuse them of being AI as well. Brent Crane.

[Toledo]

Randall.

[John]

Good Lord. We're going to get to the point where William's right. 39 bands can't make it. And that Ed Gein sounded guy with batskin. Bums me out. This is such a good song, Brent Crandall. Nailed it. This is an opener for a live show and a closer for a live show. If it happened in the middle, it would bring the whole show up.

[Toledo]

Loud. Endless.

[John]

Great stuff. Nice job. And then finally, the other one that can't make it, but we might as well play it as well. Reckless Eden and Skeletons. Man, we got some good ones this year. There's a secret buried deep inside they're everything Hardy wants to be.

[Toledo]

Pain, a.

[John]

Smile we wear the mask so well.

[Toledo]

Behind this hurt It's a living hell so good. All right.

[John]

There you go. Those are the Pledio top nine. And we'll get as many of those as we can to show up tonight. That's a good group.

[Brett Vesely]

Sanjay wouldn't fly in from Lithuania just to play our show.

[John]

Well, I mean, Beth Sheep is not that far away. She's still listening in her truck, so she's probably in Globe. Turn.

[Toledo]

Turn around.

[John]

If it's Amazon packages, we'll wait. It's not. Yeah, you will. You got to. Sometimes you gotta. You're right. I won't. He's not wrong. If it's not the same day. You're not buying it. I don't know who to complain to. Sometimes it just shows him. Sorry. Tomorrow. And that could be today.

[Corey]

Somebody named Gary is emailed in and says, hey, John, just for you guys. So you know, the information about DJ Bathsheba is real and she is a gentleman truck driver. I convinced her last second to put something into your contest. I can happily give you her number if you want to reach out to her, get her released, show up tonight. But she is a truck driver, and she drives a Seaman truck.

[John]

I bet she does. Now she has to show up. Get that semen truck over here.

[Corey]

She has to work to support her family, but I am trying to get her released so that she can do it for tonight.

[John]

What's Seaman Truck? I don't understand.

[Byron]

Seaman's the computer company.

[John]

It was a dark of the moon on 6 June in a Kenworth pulling logs. Cab over P. We're talking to you, Jimmy. Hauling hugs. We is heading for B. Is she hauling hogs? About a mile out of Shaky Town. I says, big Pen, this here's a rubber duck and I'm about to put the hammer down. This was a hit song. You're not wrong. It was when from 1976 to 1981, America was addicted to CBs and truck drivers. I don't know why, but if they look like DJ Bastiba, it makes sense. But none of them did.

[Corey]

No, John, I'm a little heartbroken. Everybody seems to have forgotten the point of this contest. It was to help us feel better about ourselves. What we hear the SES bands ever. And we as the listeners get to go home thinking, hell, I could pick up an instrument and be better than that. All these good bands. Where am I going to go here? I'm going to go home and slip my wrist cuz I can't compete with that.

[John]

Even the AI I got a lot of people emailing about D. DJ Bathsheba. And this one just basically said, you've been catfished. You bring on DJ Bull because she's not real. The truck driving beautiful black lady with the voice of an angel. The semen truck. I mean, when she's driving a semen truck. This is from the simulation. All right. Well, you're fantastic. Sorry we missed it. Convoy is going to be next year's theme song. All right, that's enough.

[Corey]

I'm a driver. What the F is she? Haul and I'll fill in.

[John]

There you go. You looking for work? Let's tap out. Bathsheba, pull over at Williams. I want to hear you sing. And by the way, I said earlier, I can tell the difference between a girl's pee smell and a boy's pee smell because my giant nose. Okay. And I think Scott Haynes has figured out exactly why I said, of course you can smell women's pee. It smells like copper pennies. Jew. I'm like, I don't know if that's reason to call me names, man. Anyway, well, hopefully get as many together as we can tonight. Still going to be fun. We'll drink, we'll dance, we'll goof around and we'll have a winner. And if none of them are any good, we'll let Katie and the Hobbs do again next Year.

[Corey]

So I. I said to the guys in One Star Night. Actually, the one guy on One Star night, I said, damn it, figure it out. And he says, trust me. I'm not happy with these other 2D bags. I call Bandmates. It would be a blast to play tonight. Their problem is.

[John]

Yeah, they don't want to. I don't know that's the only reason.

[Corey]

Or they can't.

[John]

Can you fill in, John Gordon? Can you fill in for 16 seconds to learn? You listen to it eight times, you can learn it. Hell, I'll sing it. That's a long line for that job. I can do that in a.

[Toledo]

Here, let me tell you a story. A man named Piss Ball, pet his dick. So Smiley pissed on his ball. I can do this.

[John]

I forgot to holler. I'll get that in rehearsal. You got all day. You're fine. I got all day to work on it. We got a big old convoy. All right, we'll take a break. We'll do the entertainment drill. Thanks to everybody who participated, even the sucky ones. You know who you are. I don't want to shed a light on it, but. Stop it.

[Corey]

I'm inviting him tonight.

[John]

You know what? Let's get Bad Skin down there.

[Corey]

The one year the one kid showed up with his mother. Mom, didn't he? The one that we really trashed that.

[John]

We were worried about a little bit. Yeah, he did show up with his mom. Where did you record this? The car? Maybe he's in the back seat of his mom's car on his way to school.

[Byron]

That's too big. That's a van.

[John]

He's singing. He's pissing people. People off on the bus is what he's doing.

[Toledo]

Shut up.

[John]

I can't do it.

[Toledo]

I can't do it.

[Corey]

All right, I have an explanation from another member of One Star Night.

[John]

Oh, drama.

[Corey]

Hey, Dick, let me tell you a story and apologize for Jacob never mentioning that the band wasn't even a band anymore. And Piss ball Pete is 20 years old. With that said, thank you, guys for all the love and feel free to use. Use the song as. As if it's new as your new intro. When none of these other jabronis can write a better song.

[John]

Not even a band anymore. 20 years. That's why they can't make it. Yeah, yeah, but if he could go, guys, we're getting the band back together. It'd be even awesome. All right, anyway, let's do a break. We'll do the entertainment drill. Palladio's over. And I liked It Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect. Still streaming Homberg's morning sickness [e-mail] now. Ah, it's rise against there of 10. Oh, sorry. We're not playing anymore.

[Toledo]

Come on.

[John]

You know what we're actually doing for the sake of DJ Bathsheba for John Gordon's band, who's sick for a couple of the other bands who can't make it is we're actually considering moving the show tonight to next week. Got us a convoy next Tuesday, something like that.

[Brett Vesely]

And DJ Bashiba made it by.

[Corey]

It was a D. She has a week to prepare. I'm going to let everybody know.

[John]

Well, maybe just. Yeah, just take the day off. No, it's impossible. I got to deliver these diapers. We is heading for bear on I1 know about a mile out of shaky town.

[Corey]

Seaman, bring us a bunch of water this year for. For operation hydration.

[John]

I was saying.

[Byron]

Damn it.

[Corey]

I was going to say. Can we call in a favor?

[John]

Get. Turn that semen truck around and back door this thing Bathsheba. All right, we'll consider it. Keep your ears to the radio. Keep your ears on. I'll keep yours on. We'll see if that convoy makes it back down here.

[Corey]

Not sure if this is Lovitz that texted in or not.

[Byron]

Of course.

[Corey]

Herr Holmberg has decreed that only white bands can play tonight. How convenient.

[John]

It's kind of working that way.

[Brett Vesely]

No, the other ones can't make it.

[John]

Awfully convenient, right? D.J.

[Brett Vesely]

Can'T make it. D.J. bash. Come on, it's not us.

[John]

It's not like we're having it first thing in the morning. She should be able to get here.

[Byron]

Well, she'd just be waking up.

[John]

I know.

[Toledo]

No.

[John]

It'S pissed me off anyway. It's 10 o'.

[Toledo]

Clock.

[John]

Let's get to the entertainment drill. It's brought to you by our [e-mail] the home of tactical black self defense training. If you want to get in on this awesome special they got for their 25 years in the valley. It's $89 for a month of training. Take advantage of this stocking stuffer for someone else. Someone you care about, someone you love. Daughter, a son, someone running off to college or moving out. Your wife, if she works. If it's you generally just kind of keeping an eye on things around you. It is life saving information and life saving physical stuff that keeps you in great shape and makes you a sheepdog. It makes you stop being a sheep. It's a Glorious thing. I've been doing it for a long time. I absolutely love it. And when I talk to people about it, I see their eyes light up. Now get on it. This price is unreal. 89 bucks for a whole month. Come on now. That's beautiful stuff. Reactdefense.com that's the home of tactical Black Brady. Entertain me. Hold on. Toledo's pulled up the. It's me, Bathsheba Page. DJ Bathsheba the alchemist. And it says construction engineer and trucker. That's her jobs, right? Humanitarian, innovator, actress, dj, songwriter, mc, producer, actress. We got all these jobs, a couple of those gigs.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John]

And the one thing you can't walk away from is trucker. You got 20 different things. Things to lean on. The only one of them things paying. That's the job you got. Take all that other stuff off. Plato has been two days of edging and the porn stars won't finish you. But maybe grandma will when that guy comes out and goes.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, by default.

[John]

By default. We should just give it to him. No way. What are you thinking? Canceled. Congratulations, Miles to nowhere. You're the theme song again next year. Thank you, Brady. Go ahead.

[Byron]

Hot on the heels of Wicked, there are two wizard of Oz themed horror movies on the way. Yep, just making sure, Gail. Yellow Brick Road. It comes out February 11th. Dorothy is a reclusive old lady in this one, and her granddaughter discovers the secret of Oz, which has become a terrifying playground for evil forces beyond their imagination. The second one is called Dorothy the Haunting of Oz.

[Toledo]

Cool.

[Byron]

Follows a group of college basketball players on Halloween night who are attacked by terrifying versions of Dorothy and company, as well as serial killer clowns.

[John]

Just seems a bit the hodgepodge of attempted scary.

[Byron]

Scarlett Johansson will star in a new Exorcist movie being touted as a fresh, bold take on the franchise. It's not a remake or sequel, but it'll supposedly take place in the same universe.

[John]

I haven't watched a lot of the Exorcist things. Is it Pazuzu still? Is that what keeps it all time? Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. Is that the tie together? Because I'm wondering if Exorcist 2 and 3 and 4 are all Pazuzu still. Because what's. How do you connect them? Otherwise, jumping Pazuzu might have stepped away. You're right. It's been a while. He's done possessing. I just want some time on the beach.

[Byron]

Tara Reid was stretchered out of a hotel bar in Chicago over the weekend. Barely Coherent, Unable to stand.

[John]

Have you seen pictures of her? Yeah, she's 70.

[Byron]

She ordered one drink, and she thinks someone drugged it. She said, be careful. Don't leave your drink when you're at a bar. I think she got hammered.

[John]

Keep in mind, there's a guy named Travis Tackett. His name tells you all you need to know, and he emails. I bet DJ Bass, Chiba Bass Chiba Hut is out there driving a truck full of hellcats that have to get delivered. All right, audience, be nice to her.

[Byron]

Celebrity death.

[John]

We got Jimmy Cliff, the reggae guy.

[Byron]

Pioneer. Yeah. 81 years old, passed away.

[John]

You happy about this?

[Byron]

Huh?

[John]

I reserve comment. Anybody from the reggae world going away is good for me. I'm glad he made it to 81. I'm glad he had a rich, long life, and there's now no chance that any more reggae will come out of him. And that's. That's a step in the right direction.

[Brett Vesely]

But white reggae is worse.

[John]

Oh, white reggae is the reason I hate reggae. Reagan needed to stay where it was, which was in Jamaica and the Caribbean and stuff like that. Second it bled over to the States, and white guys went, me, too, man. Like, oh, no, they're going to try it as my brother right there. Your brother does that? My oldest. He doesn't actually record me, but he loves the white versions. He likes white. He likes it better than the black.

[Toledo]

That's.

[John]

That's Hitler. Racist. I'm like, come on, man. He's like, no, I could just relate more. Stop it. I tell him. I'm like, this looks really bad. Did he ever have a braid in his head? No, no, no, no. But he has it playing at all times during every event. So if we go there to, like, party or if it's holiday, it's just on the Bluetooth speaker the entire time. Thursday, for Thanksgiving, your brother is playing? No, he's out of town. He's actually. He's Air Force. Oh, thank God. No, he's the good brother.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John]

Yeah. Well, I mean, like, he's the one that can be in the military. Yes. He's not kicked out yet. Well, compared to the other two, is what I'm saying. Like, you can't join the military. No, no, I'm not allowed.

[Toledo]

No.

[John]

No. But your brother, he's fine. Yeah. Well, this one, he's on the spectrum. He's on. He's neurodivergent. Oh, yeah, no kidding.

[Toledo]

Inv.

[John]

And effeminate. Oh, I thought he says Andy's effeminate. No, that's normal for Air Force.

[Toledo]

Kidding. Me?

[John]

You can't take swings at the Air Force. All right, Is he a pilot or something? No, he just works with the kind of. The more logistical side. No. Okay. Oh, he's super focused. Computer guy. Okay, so that's the neurodivergence fix my drone. Right. Okay. Your family has got to be a TV show soon. I don't even think we're related. I don't think we are.

[Corey]

Well, hey, welcome to the party.

[John]

I need to see it legal anyway. Now, this one says, when you see the interview with Tara Reid, you'll realize how full of it she is. You'll call Jesse SM the whole way. That degenerate con artist. Her the exact same thing. Well, I think she's trying to get attention. I think she faked a lot of this because the thing I saw, I'm like, come on, you're so drunk. Either. You got that? But then to go on afterwards and say, oh, I've been poisoned. Somebody can go to jail for that. And I think you might have done this to yourself, so.

[Byron]

And as they're leaving, she yells, you want to talk sharknado?

[John]

Did she say it? Yeah, she loves talking sharknado. Anyway, we're done now. We might move this thing tonight.

[Corey]

The club is good with it, first of all. So that's where we're starting.

[John]

Do we want to make it official now?

[Corey]

I think we might want to make it official because, I mean, I don't know. Hasn't been around for 20.

[John]

Let's go next Tuesday then. If the club's okay with it. Let's not go tonight and force this. Let's not shoehorn a pleo in bands on the list.

[Corey]

And there will be seven. I will be calling all of you. And if. And if you can be there next Tuesday, that's the new date.

[John]

Larry's got to re record a bunch of stuff. Makes it better. All right, then we'll go next Tuesday.

[Corey]

Brett, will you post that on our Facebook page so I can go start?

[John]

Nice work. Because none of the bands are capable of.

[Brett Vesely]

Same location, though, correct?

[Corey]

Same location down downtown. Yes. Start time.

[John]

Everything cost anything? No, they said it's a record travel year for Thanksgiving, so maybe that's the problem. A lot of people are out. It's 1107. We're done. Larry will have the information for you guys for next week's playdio. When. I like this. I like what we've done here. We called the audible. I think that's good. Plus, kind of, you know, we don't have to have a cruddy show and pick somebody we don't want and get all those bands back in there. And DJ Bathsheba, I need you to take the week off and get in here. Tuesday.

[Byron]

Just Tuesday.

[Toledo]

That's it.

[John]

That truckload of goldfish bowls or whatever the hell you're delivering. It'll wait. We're done. Larry's next. You guys have a great one. Thank you to everybody involved in Playo. See you tomorrow. Arizona's most powerful rock radio station, he said, fully erected.
