Ricky, wake the fuck up.
Ricky, wake up.
We're doing this good today.
I'm going to do the intro.
Hey, welcome to the podcast,
Trailer Park Boys podcast number 57.
Bubbles podcast, really?
Hey, hey, wait.
Back this up for a second.
I'm the one that always does the intro.
Not anymore, bud.
It was a fuck of a lot better than what you just did.
The Bubbles Podcast number 57.
Right here with Ricky Julian and a very special guest in the studio today.
Very excited.
Legendary musician, Cash John, right there.
How you doing there, bud?
How you doing?
That's great.
You might want to talk into this thing when you're talking.
All right.
Oh, wait, no.
There's no fucking...
There's no cord attached to it.
I didn't notice that.
There's no fucking...
That's how it normally is for me.
It's been, what, five weeks now, bubs?
Look, I'm going to get the pieces.
It's not hooked up yet, but it is nice, isn't it?
Beautiful. Bumblebee. Bumblebee microphones it is nice, isn't it? Beautiful.
Bumblebee.
Bumblebee microphones.
They're sponsoring us.
Neat microphones.
I did the deal.
I just didn't get the cables.
I don't have the cables, so it's not.
They're just useless.
Way to wrap my intro, though, Julian.
I'm the one that's supposed to be doing the intro anyway, man.
It's a lot better than yours.
It's an honor to have you here.
My pleasure.
I like your name, too.
It's cool.
Is that Russian?
It is sort of Russian, but Ukrainian, I think.
Can I shake your hand, please?
Oh, well, please. Absolutely.
Julian, nice to meet you.
Thank you.
We had your son on last week.
George was on last week.
Okay.
And I mentioned to him, hey, do you think your dad would ever come on?
And now here you're sitting here.
I said I never would, but I'm here.
Thank you for that.
That's decent.
He didn't even want to do it, Ricky, but he's here.
Oh, okay.
I get it now.
It's very nice of you.
Fucking sunglasses upside down.
What are you talking about?
They're on upside down.
They're not.
No, the fucking arms are always right at the top.
No, Ricky, why would the ear hooks be pointing up?
They'd probably get bent at a party.
No, look, they go that way. The arms are just low.
That looks stupid.
The nose thing is there. Yeah, that's the right way.
Have you ever had a friend who doesn't know how to put sunglasses on?
Like this?
I just met Ricky just the other day, so...
Well, there he is.
Look, he's looking fabulous.
He is looking good, isn't he?
He feels really weird.
Does he look all right?
So, for the people that don't know who you are,
can I just tell a couple things about you?
Go ahead, just a couple.
For cash, John.
Don't leave anything out.
Ricky, stop interrupting me, for fuck's sakes.
Sorry, Bob.
Played in P-Funk, Parliament Funkadelic.
Absolutely.
Which I'm a big fan of.
What was that like, playing with George Clinton and Bootsy?
Getting in the pocket, getting in the groove,
and laying it down with some crazy people
that I've never met before in my life.
You just got thrown right into her, did you?
Kind of like this.
Absolutely. Just like this.
Brings back memories.
People don't realize quite how funky I am myself.
I'm right into the funk.
I can see that.
I can really get her going sometimes on the bass.
Chocolate City, you played on that.
Oh, well, thank you. That's one of my bass. Chocolate City, you played on that. Well, thank you.
That's one of my favorites.
Okay.
Getting on ya.
Getting on ya.
Love that jam.
Get in the groove.
Y'all, nobody can get in the groove like this guy.
That's awesome.
Ricky, do you know who else he played for?
Alice Cooper.
Oh, that's fucking cool.
I did that. I did that.
I did that.
Forgive me.
Is he awesome?
He is awesome.
He is indeed a snake charmer.
I heard he's a lot smarter than he seems.
A lot smarter.
Because he seems really dumb.
A lot more conservative than you can imagine.
He doesn't seem dumb.
Why, Alice Cooper doesn't seem dumb.
Why would you say that?
I bet you Alice Cooper would think you're fucking dumb. Why Alice Cooper doesn't seem dumb? Where would you say that?
I bet you Alice Cooper would think you're fucking dumb.
He'd be wrong.
He's quite a golfer too, I heard.
He is an exceptional golfer.
Most people wouldn't realize that Alice, you know, is out there on the golf course.
Does he wear the makeup with the blood on the golf course?
I don't think he does because I don't think Bob Hope would have allowed him to get on that course with the makeup.
Bob Hope, he was a silly bastard, wasn't he?
Bob Hope would have said nope.
Bob Hope, what's that?
Bob Hope would have said nope to the makeup.
He would have been Bob Nope.
Yeah.
I heard that about him.
He didn't approve very many things.
They'd be like, Bob, can we?
Nope.
You kind of look like Bob.
Who, me? Have you ever met Bob Hope?
I have.
You have?
Yeah, you look like him.
Oh, he's a pretty handsome fella.
He is.
Back in the day.
Indeed.
What's he like to hang out with?
I didn't hang out with him.
No?
People like me didn't hang out with Bob Hope back in the day.
No, I guess not.
Either a caddy or in the kitchen.
Bob Hope wasn't really at a lot of P-Funk shows, probably.
No, not many.
That would have been funny if he was, though.
He could have used it.
Who would have known that Bob Hope was into funk music?
Nobody knew it.
I heard a rumor that you played at Wayne Gretzky's wedding.
That I did with my band, The Lincolns.
That is fucking cool.
That was great.
That's awesome.
Got all their autographs, sat next to Gordie Howe and Colleen.
That's so fucking cool.
Decent.
That's what I did for Jordan.
You mentioned Jordan, I got all those autographs.
People I didn't even know.
Did you get to see Wayne or Janet in a bikini or anything like that?
No, we were in the band.
Okay.
Why would you see Wayne's ex-girlfriend in a bikini, Ricky?
You think Wayne was walking around his own wedding in a bikini?
Well, it could have been an after-party. I was just, I don't know.
She was a, she's a good-looking gal.
Indeed she is, she is.
Janet's lovely. Lovely, lovely looking lady.
That must have been a real drunken party though.
Because those NHL players, they like to drink.
Did they start early?
They started early and they just...
Speeches went on forever.
I bet.
Band didn't go on until 11.
So half the band was asleep.
That was the Lincolns, right?
Yeah, the Lincolns. I've heard the Lincolns too.? Yeah, the Lincolns.
I've heard the Lincolns too.
Funky, funky, funky.
Very funky.
On a scale of 1 to 10, on a funk scale,
I'd put them at about 9.9.
That's high, Bob.
That's some big funk right there.
A lot of funk to deal with.
Cash also played Ricky for Lou Reed.
No fucking way.
Really?
What was that like?
You like, describe that to him, you know,
getting on stage with Lou Reed.
Cause he was, he was pretty crazy back then.
Yeah, I stole his clothes.
I wore them today.
That's not Lou Reed.
It's fast.
Yeah, it's like Lou Reed, you know,
the zippers and the all black.
Normally I just wear a blazer and a tie.
That vest could talk.
Look at that. What do you think?
That was made in 2014.
That's not Lou Reed's vest.
Well, I'm lying.
Like the rest of you.
Oh.
Oh, he's got a fist.
So he never played with Lou Reed?
No, he did.
No, I did.
Okay.
He played with Lou Reed. I've seen the videos.
That's fucking cool. He must Okay. He played with Lou Reed. I've seen the videos.
That's fucking cool.
He must be fun to party with.
So I want to hear some crazy stories.
You don't got to give names, but what's the craziest thing you ever saw during those days?
Well, one of the best ones would have to be when we actually flew up from LA, had to play
at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver.
And then at customs, they wouldn't let Alice's snake in.
The snake was Angel and wouldn't let her in, right?
Had to be in quarantine.
That presented a problem, big problem for the show.
So they decided, because we were going to be there for three days before the show,
that they were going to have
Python auditions.
I'm not making this up.
So they held it at the Bayshore Inn
of all places in the ballroom.
And I thought, well,
maybe there'd be about 10, 12 people
who were going to come out
and audition their Pythons.
Could anybody audition to be the Python?
They should. Actually, That would have been easier.
They were bringing in snakes.
People weren't coming in pretending to be snakes.
Ah.
How does a snake audition, though?
Well, they bring their pythons, and so they put an ad in the paper, and I thought nothing
of it.
Went out, you know, hang out on the street and came back, and it was a lineup all the
way from the barbersper on the block people with
pythons in Vancouver audition the snakes and that many people own pythons even
more even more there was a little boy but like blonde-headed little guy big
blue eyes and he had the most gigantic Python. Of course, his parents were helping him carry the damn thing.
And, of course, Alice was not going to use it,
but he used it for a good press shot.
That made it in the front page of the paper.
And then he picked one, and then we went to do the show.
And, of course, this Python had never been in a rock show.
Oh, fuck.
So we're up there.
We're playing.
The place is full of about 21,000 kids in there.
And we're just hammering away.
And it's loud as hell.
And they got the big super troopers coming down.
And he brings it out for I Love the Dead.
Not my favorite song, but that's my gig and I had to play it.
And he comes out and the python, you know, he's got the python's head
and he's got it around his neck and he's got it around his leg
and he's got it under control and he comes out
and the super troopers hit the snake and the heat from it startles the snake
and the reverberation of the the band the
thing grabs his leg and attacks his arm and then he tries to fight it off then the next thing the
head comes out he's in he's tied up like in knots and did it bite him too he was trying to bite him
but he can't really bite he, it was trying to swallow him.
Jesus, man, that is fucked.
This is frightened and you can hear in our headphones the producer yelling,
cut the lights, cut the lights, keep playing though, we were playing.
The lights go down, we can just see a silhouette of Alice falling to the ground on the stage
and the roadies are now wrestling
with the snake.
Now we're laughing because we're not involved, but we're laughing.
We had to laugh.
It looked ridiculous.
We knew he wasn't going to die, but they couldn't wrestle the snakes.
All we saw is two roadies with Alice like an Egyptian princess wrapped up going off the stage.
And I guess they got him free.
But he came back.
Murphy, that was a big fuck-up on somebody.
That would have been a good show to be on, Mushrooms,
like sitting there in the audience
watching that shit go down.
That would have been spectacular.
Mushrooms?
Yeah, or liquor.
Okay.
Or weed.
Mushrooms, liquor? Oil, anything. or liquor. Okay. Weed. Mushrooms, liquor.
Oil, anything.
Oil would have helped.
That is fucked up.
Can you imagine?
Getting attacked by a python?
At least it didn't kill him.
That would have sucked even more.
Well, Ricky, yes, obviously.
Just because of a bad audition.
I don't think it was the fact that the snake didn't pass the audition.
Somebody just didn't, you know, think it through.
They should have fucking had loud music and fire and shit during the audition
if that's what he's going to be dealing with.
That's how they should have auditioned him.
They should have shot a flamethrower at him
and put some loud headphones on his little head and blast them
and see how he reacted.
They had headphones that small?
Oh yeah, they got little snake headphones they can get for snakes.
Snakes don't have ears though, do they?
Yes they do, Ricky.
I thought they bounced things out that came back to them.
No, those are bats.
You're thinking of bats.
Solar waves or something.
Yeah, solar bats.
What do you got on your paper there, Ricky?
Just some notes.
Read me one.
On this day, you want to know what happened in history?
Yes, I do.
The Great Fucking Fire in London, man.
10,000 buildings destroyed.
I didn't know it was that big.
That's like fucking every building in Canada.
And somehow only six people died. Every building was destroyed. I didn't know it was that big. Let's just, like, fucking every building in Canada.
And somehow only six people died.
There's more than 10,000 buildings in Canada, Ricky.
10,000's a lot of buildings, Bob.
That's a lot of buildings to catch on fire.
That is a lot to lose in one fire, somebody.
But here's what's really fucking weird.
In 1916, 66, in 1982, Keith Richards' house fucking burns down.
Same fucking day.
So it could be like a serial arseholist doing, like, the same guy.
A what?
A serial arseholist?
What's an arseholist?
It's a fucking arsehole that burns your shit down.
No, it's arsonist, Ricky.
Is it really?
Arson is... Arse.
Not an arseholist.
And I don't think it's a serial arsonist
if the first one was in 1600.
The guy would have to be 380 years old.
It could be a fucking, like, the Highlander.
That's his gig.
He lights fires instead of getting in sword fights.
So he's an immortal arsonist.
Arsonist.
He's immortal and he just goes around burning shit down.
See, there's another good movie.
What would that movie be called?
I don't know. Give me a few minutes.
And then in 1998 we had that fucking plane crash here in the Swiss Air.
On this day. That was a fucking sad one.
That was terrible.
Terrible.
Entertainment system went on fire.
Is that what it was?
Yep.
I watched Mayday.
I thought it was a bomb.
Mayday Marathon.
No, it wasn't a bomb.
Entertainment system caught fire.
Anyway, stop talking about depressing things.
Okay.
We've got to move on.
I've got some birthdays of today, and I thought maybe we could play Hot or Not for the birthdays.
How do you play Hot or Not, Ricky?
I say whose birthday it is, and you say Hot or Not.
Okay, then.
Bet you didn't know we were playing Hot or Not today, did you?
Hadn't a clue.
Okay, go for it, Ricky.
I'm going to start with one of your favorite people in the world.
All right.
Glenn Sather.
Glenn Sather.
Sather.
I thought you were going to be saying ladies' names.
Well, there is.
I can pretty much say not to that one.
No offense, Mr. Sather.
I think you're a fantastic coach.
I'm just not attracted to you.
You're going to have more trouble with the next one, then.
Keanu Reeves.
I know Julian thinks he's fucking hot.
No, I don't.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Oh, fuck.
When The Matrix came out, you were like, just fucking Keanu this and Keanu that.
That was a good movie, man.
It doesn't mean I think he's hot.
Jesus.
So hot. Let's end this game.
Let's play another game like that.
Okay, Salma Hayek, I'll give you an easy one.
Salma Hayek, hot.
Lennox Lewis is the last one.
Lennox Lewis.
Not.
I mean, he's in good shape and everything, but...
All right, I guess that was kind of a dumb game.
That was a dumb game, Ricky.
Well, I was trying to have a game because you had that fucking game.
Well, his game's a lot better.
We should play Bubbles' Family Feud.
No, I'm done with that game.
No, no, no.
It's because you lost the last time.
No, we've got a very intelligent person on the show today.
I'm the reigning champion, and I want to end as a winner, so we're not playing it.
Okay, what's your buzzer? Oh, yeah, you got the champion.
Fuck's sakes.
You got the doorbell, and he's got the honker.
Okay.
And I don't need to ring in,
because I am the host of Family Feud!
Da-da-da! Da-da-da!
Da-da-da! Da-da-da!
Okay, Bob.
Is that the theme song?
I hope so.
Now you're supposed to kiss the guest.
No, you're not.
That's just the ladies.
Richard Dawson used to kiss the ladies, not the men guests.
Actually, he did kiss a few of the men guests that asked for it.
Okay.
You know how to play Family Feud.
I ask a question.
If you know the answer, ding your buzzer.
Top five answers are on the board.
Here's the first question.
Name a food you don't have to chew to swallow.
Julian's in first.
Jell-O.
Jell-O.
Number one answer.
Fuck!
I was going to say water.
Water's not really a food, Ricky.
You eat it, you don't chew it.
I don't know.
You drink it, yeah.
No, it's not on there.
Julian takes the first one, Lightning Speed.
I'm the Rainy Jack.
You are?
Yeah, man.
You cheated somehow.
Lightning Speed.
You cheated somehow.
Okay, this is a good one here, Ricky.
You might get... we all down, top six answers on the board.
Here's the question.
Name something that married women might be sick of doing.
Ricky's in first.
Oral.
That's not on the list. Not on the list.
Blowjobs aren't on the list.
It was an excellent answer, but it's not on the home version of Family Feud.
What's the question again?
Name something that married women might be sick of doing. Blowjobs, man.
You talk to any married man, they'll say the same thing.
You didn't ring your buzzer and that's not on the answer.
All right.
Cooking meals.
Ooh.
Answer, that's the second top answer.
Prakash can steal the game by taking the number one answer.
Something married women might be sick of doing.
Vacuuming. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. by taking the number one answer, something married women might be sick of doing.
Vacuuming.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!
Housekeeping for cash.
Ties the game.
Right there, Ricky, you're getting beat.
It's one-one, Julian. See, you're not so smart.
Did he bring in his bell, though?
Did you get that? I did.
He did. He did bring it.
We'll have to watch the footage afterwards.
I think you did it afterwards. I did.
You better be nice, Julian,
or maybe he'll ring your bell.
What?
Why would he do that?
Because he's tough.
Okay, are we all down and we all set?
Top four answers are on the board.
Here is the question.
Okay, Ricky, get ready.
Name something a teenage girl might envy about other teenage girls.
Julian's in first.
Tits.
What?
Tits is not on the board.
I mean, it's not on the board.
Are you kidding me?
I'm not saying it's not true.
Where are you getting these answers from?
I get it off the wholesome family insight.
Okay.
Ricky, to steal the game,
or Prakash, name something a teenage girl
might envy about other teenage girls.
Prakash is in.
The newest cell phone.
Oh, the newest cell phone.
Keeping it clean. Not on that. Oh, the newest cell phone. Keeping it clean.
Not on that.
Ricky, just steal.
Close.
Close! Number one answer!
Ricky!
So what happens now?
We got a three-way tie.
Three-way fucking tie.
This is really quite, quite accelerating.
Let me see here.
What is a good one?
Oh, this might be a good one for everybody.
This one's not going to have any sexual connotations either.
Great.
All right.
Okay, this could be for the fucking...
Let me just check in case this is the last one.
Yeah, this is a good one.
Name something you might take with you for an overnight stay at the hospital.
Her cash is in first!
My clothes!
Clothes is number two on the list.
Clothing.
Ricky!
Vape pen.
Vape pen is not in the top six answers, Ricky.
Wow.
Fucking nerds.
Do you get a second chance?
Toothbrush.
I know it's not going to say liquor, but, you know, a little port-a-bar.
But snacks.
Food.
Snacks is number six on the list.
Ricky.
Toothbrush.
Toothbrush is number three.
Fuck.
There is still one, the number one answer.
Ricky.
Condoms.
Not on there.
Believe it or not.
Shit.
I don't believe it.
Not on there, believe it or not. Shit.
I don't believe it.
Uh...
Uh...
Ricky!
I can't answer again.
Did we already say pajamas?
Ricky wins the fucking game!
Pajamas, number one answer!
Hey, he said clothes.
I know, but clothes was number two, pajamas was number two.
What do you mean? It's all the same. It's clothing.
That's horse shit, man.
That is kind of fucked up. Okay, the game is under protest.
The whole game is under protest.
Okay, that one is ruled inadmissible.
We've got to go to the double tiebreaker.
Unless Julian gets it.
Double tiebreaker.
For Christ's sakes.
I was champion for about four seconds.
This is a short one, boys.
Get ready.
Get your dingers ready.
Your things, not your dingers.
Your buzzers.
Okay.
Here we go.
Name something people cut.
Oh, Julian's in first.
They're here.
Julian wins the fucking game.
Yeah!
Number one answer.
They're here.
They were a good opponent.
They were very close.
I'm protesting.
Why, Ricky?
He sucks shit.
It was just too, too, there was too many answers for that one.
Well, I picked the number one.
You can cut your finger, you can cut the cheese.
Yeah, but the point of the game is to ring in I picked the number one. You can cut your finger, you can cut the cheese.
Yeah, but the point of the game is to ring in and pick the best answer.
Ricky's protesting it.
You know why? He gets one free protest.
We gotta do one more.
No, no, no, it's fine. This fucking game sucks.
One more tiebreaker.
This is gonna be a good one here, boys.
Besides potatoes,
name something you might find in potato salad.
Oh.
Who was in first?
I think Prakash was in first.
I think so, too.
I think it's a tie.
No, I think you were in first because this buzzer ended last.
Advantage, so I get the advantage.
Yes.
Okay.
Other than potatoes, name something you might find in potato salad.
Parsley.
Parsley?
What the fuck are you...
I don't eat potato salad.
Is there parsley in it?
No, there isn't.
I didn't think so.
Not generally.
Maybe in your recipe.
Okay, boys.
Ricky!
Egg.
Egg is the number two answer.
You just got...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Ricky! Egg. Egg is the number two answer.
You just got...
Mail.
Ah! Prakash wins the fucking game!
God damn it.
Right there!
He's a champion!
Family feud!
Does he get a trophy?
I got one. Look at this.
There you go.
It's beautiful.
No, you can't keep that.
Oh, alright. Oh, Ricky, that's nice. Thank you, Ricky. Look at this. There you go. It's beautiful. You can't keep that. Oh, all right.
Oh, Ricky, that's nice. Thank you, Ricky.
You deserve it.
As long as fucking Julian didn't win, I'm happy.
It's got his name on it.
It's the first men's double trophy.
What?
Beautiful.
I win.
Nice work.
You won, man.
Nice work.
And this guy would like to just congratulate you.
Holy shit. Nice work. And this guy would like to just congratulate you. Holy shit.
Bugs.
Horrible sounding chicken, man.
It's horrible.
Sounds like he's getting...
What is that?
Banged.
Sorry.
I don't call it.
He's got some kind of a squeaker in his throat.
It's fabulous.
Give him a try.
I don't know.
Why did you do this thing, man?
He's dying.
It'd be a good thing if you were doing this, you know.
Like you were shoving that up him.
Then the sound would make sense.
For the people that are just listening to the podcast
and not actually watching the video portion,
Ricky has a bizarre rubber chicken
that he just shoved a beer bottle up its arse.
Let's just get rid of him.
I don't like him anymore.
Alright, Julian, you're on.
I can't believe he won the fucking...
He won Family Feud.
He made you guys look dumb.
Yeah, you're...
You're a lot smarter than your son.
Yeah, he really fucked that one up last week.
He won two, didn't he?
I think, I'm pretty sure he won two, didn't he? Yeah, did he? I think. I'm pretty sure he won two, didn't he?
Yeah, so the whole fucking family's spared.
It's a family feud.
Really happy for you guys.
It's a family affair.
Family feud.
Kind of jealous of your brains and your talents and your good looks.
It's good to have you guys here.
And he's got a reverse name, too.
Oh, yeah.
Ricky was very impressed last week.
That's cool.
That Jordan had a reverse name.
He felt his name should be John Jordan.
Yeah.
Many people think that we just want to belong to the Elton family.
I never thought of that.
Do you?
I don't belong to that family.
You're not related to Elton?
Did you ever play with Elton?
No, but with Bernie Taupin I did.
Did you really?
Wow.
Who else did you play with?
James Brown.
Oh, James Brown.
Jesus Christ.
What was James like to play with?
Well, it was great because it was in the Blues Brothers movie.
You would have loved that movie.
Blues Brothers? Blues Brothers 2000. Oh would have loved that movie. Blues Brothers?
Blues Brothers 2000.
I know that.
Nothing but car crashes.
Yeah, it was an awesome movie.
Great soundtrack.
And James was one of the reverends in the section that I provided the rhythm section.
And Paul Schaefer.
And James treated me really well.
Did he?
He didn't normally treat his band members.
It's because I didn't play in his band, you see.
Oh, nice.
I heard a rumor.
You tell me if this is true.
I heard a rumor that if you were in James Brown's band,
like you were in his band, and you played a wrong note,
every time you played a wrong note, he'd fine you 50 bucks.
Well, he started at five.
Oh, five bucks? Five bucks in the 60s was 50 bucks. Well, he started at five. Oh, five bucks?
Five bucks in the 60s was 50 bucks.
That's a lot of money.
Wow.
So if you played a wrong note, he docked you.
Yeah, he docked you.
He'd just do it while he was singing.
Just take it right out of your pocket.
Wasn't much there in the pocket in the first place,
but he'd take it. Gonna take your liquor money.
There you go.
James Brown.
Oh, I heard, I think I heard you tell a story.
Did you tell a story about,
did you play with Stevie Wonder?
No, I didn't.
But I, actually I did.
I forgot about that.
Oh, I forgot I played with Stevie Wonder.
You forgot.
Yeah.
Oh, I forgot I was in the Beatles.
Jesus, I was in the Beatles.
I forgot.
I was in the Beatles. Jesus, I was in the Beatles. I forgot. I was in the Beatles.
No, I wasn't.
Oh, yeah, I played with Stevie Wonder.
What am I thinking?
It was a jam.
I thought you meant, you know, on stage.
Well, you still jam with him.
Yeah, he came in at a jam at the Riot House on Sunset.
Oh, nice.
Rock and roll Hyatt.
Yeah.
And there was a club downstairs, and a friend of mine was drumming.
He asked me to get up and play.
And I got up and played.
And just before I started, Stevie Wonder came from the Grammys and walked right up.
And I was sitting right in the harp of the grand piano.
And then he started to sing. And then I could hear his voice, his natural voice,
coming right into my right ear,
and my arms just went to, like, spaghetti,
and I couldn't play.
And he kept looking at me like,
he's looking around for people to join,
and I couldn't.
The drummer's yelling, play, for God's sake, play.
I couldn't.
It's just the sound.
Just because it freaked you out so much?
It freaked me right out. That's amazing. Beautiful voice. Decent. And, yeah,'s sake, play. I couldn't. It's just the sound. Just because it freaked you out so much? It freaked me right out.
That's amazing.
Beautiful voice.
Decent.
And yeah, I sucked.
Yeah.
Stevie Wonder's probably like, who's the shitty bass player?
Where is he? I can't see him, but he is not sounding good.
Perhaps.
Is there anybody else you forgot you jammed with you might want to mention?
Mike Bloomfield.
You remember Mike Bloomfield?
Yes.
I remember Mike Bloomfield.
Junior Wells.
Junior Wells?
Pinetop Perkins.
You played with all those guys?
I was very...
Pinetop Perkins.
He's the guy that had the wooden head.
Pinetop?
He did.
Yeah, he had a wooden part in his head right there that he just...
Maybe he did.
I didn't know that.
You didn't know that?
I didn't know that.
Pine Top got in a bad accident, motorcycle accident,
and he got the top of his head cut really bad.
So his uncle made him a piece out of pine,
and they just glued it right on there.
You fucking kidding?
You didn't notice this?
There's a wood stuck to the guy's head?
Pine Top burned his head.
The hair grew through the wood?
They glued hair to the wood, so you couldn't really tell it was wood.
But if you went out and knocked on them like that, you could hear the pine.
Knock on wood.
Knock on wood.
Yeah, man.
Knock on Pinetop, they used to say.
That's cool.
Yeah.
That's a weird one.
He was, yes, I remember buying Todd Perkins.
You alright, Rick?
Yeah, we gotta stop partying so hard, boys.
We don't party.
The hit played in Kingston almost two weeks ago and we've been drunk every day.
I know, man.
I'm not keeping the normal pace.
You gotta stop letting me eat stuff.
Weird things when I'm not keeping the normal pace. You gotta stop letting me eat stuff. Weird things when I'm wasted.
Well, how am I supposed to stop you from eating weird things?
What did you eat now?
Well, obviously at some point I ate some weird things
because some weird things came out of me that I wasn't expecting.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, then.
A Spanish coin and a piece of blue glass.
Spanish coin.
Were you on a beach?
Not that I remember, so...
Ricky, a Spanish coin come out of you?
Yeah, and a shirt
of blue glass.
Did you check the date on the coin?
You might have ate a rare one at the museum or something.
I don't know, boys, but you gotta stop
letting me eat shit when I'm drunk.
Where is the coin at now?
It's in the car. Do you want to have a look at it?
Were you anywhere? Hey, hey, listen. Oak Island.
Were you up around there? Like Chester? Bridgewater?
As far as I know, I haven't really left the trailer park for two weeks.
All right.
So, Ricky, you went to the museum.
You said you were going, if you ate a rare Spanish coin, we probably should investigate.
It's gonna need need some clean-up work.
And maybe eat an old bottle at the museum, too.
Well, I like to take bites out of glasses sometimes when I'm drunk, just to freak people out.
So I think maybe I might have did that.
But it's blue, so I don't know where the blue glass would have come from.
Was it smooth-edged?
It wasn't, no.
So it wasn't from the beach.
It was a fucking nightmare coming out.
Can I ever have anybody that said anything like that to you?
Oh, I shit out a coin in a piece of glass, you gotta stop letting me eat weird things.
It just came to me and I wanted to say it before I forgot.
This is what we deal with on a daily basis.
In case we're drunk later and I want to take the fucking neck off this bottle and eat it.
Mm-hmm.
That would be dumb. Go ahead. No, no, no. later and I want to take the fucking neck off this bottle and eat it.
That would be dumb.
No, no, no.
That was me in the bathroom.
Boys, we've got to get moving here.
I've got to go to sleep, man.
Like, seriously.
I'm done.
All right, let's do it.
