Our Tribute to the Day the Music Died

Beck Did It Better Podcast
About this episodeHere is our tribute to Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, and Richie Valens. A national tragedy that will never be forgotten as long as we have music in our hearts.

[00:00]What's up everybody, welcome to KROB, K-R-O-B, Big Daddy Rob is just checking out the calendar,

[00:13]he noticed it's one of the saddest dates in all of music history, February 3rd, the day

[00:21]the music died, as Don McLean so famously said in every concert, because he has to both

[00:26]open and close with that song, unless you are over 50 years old, then you know that

[00:30]other one Don McLean song, but this is a tribute from the Beckton and Better Boys to the people

[00:37]who died that day, Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, and Richie Valens, and then there had to be

[00:45]somebody else because they were flying the plane, but they don't get as much play if

[00:48]you notice, so something to think about kids when you're choosing your career, thinking

[00:51]about being a pilot or a rock and roll star, okay, including one who's saying,

[00:56]my name was simply The Big Bopper, okay, which makes you think, is that somebody came

[01:01]up to me and said, hey, I should be named The Big Bopper, and he's like, yep, that's

[01:04]good, I'm going to go with that, it's got to affect how you think about yourself, but

[01:08]anyway, we want to give a nice respectful tribute to The Big Bopper, Richie Valens,

[01:15]and Buddy Holly, so enjoy this, best of Beckton and Better about the day the music died, a

[01:22]respectful tribute from all of us, but especially Aaron.

[01:26]Welcome, everybody, this is your pilot speaking, we should be touching down in about two hours,

[01:33]but I do have a special guest up front who wants to make a quick announcement, and say

[01:38]something over the mic, so here you go, take it, take it, take it, here you go, oh, baby,

[01:49]this is your co-pilot, The Big Bopper speaking, I want to tell you right now, put your tray

[01:54]tables up, and put your...

[01:56]things in the upright and locked positions, because you're going to hear a lot of bits

[02:00]about me, baby, The Big Bopper, there's even some Buddy Holly stuff at the end, and then

[02:06]there's some Biggie Smalls stuff mixed in there, too, and I don't know quite how that

[02:09]works, and Meatloaf is featured quite a bit, actually, too, it seems like any of Rob's

[02:12]great impressions are going to be featured in this wonderful episode, oh, baby, you know

[02:20]what I like, oh, wait, no, it says, welcome to the town of Clear Lake, and it's getting

[02:25]quite big, so...

[02:26]The Big Bopper signing off, baby, coming at you from hell, oh, yeah, baby.

[02:31]When you want to hear about the greatest albums of all time, but you're just too lazy to look

[02:39]it up online, if you want to hear from guys who chat and then they get off track, I've

[02:48]got the perfect podcast for you, Jack.

[02:51]I think when we're texting each other all week, being like, guys, this podcast is so

[02:55]long, why is it so long?

[02:56]And then it turns out I just have a sound clip for every single thing we talk about,

[03:00]and the sound clips are just getting longer and longer, pretty soon, it's just literally

[03:03]going to be like a three-minute sound clip of me just going, oh, yeah, it's just three

[03:10]minutes of that, we're just going to be howling, we think it's the funniest shit, and obviously

[03:14]we're right.

[03:14]When we get to the Big Bopper, is Big Bopper on the top 500?

[03:16]When we get to the Big Bopper, there's probably a good chance to use, oh, yeah.

[03:19]Hey, baby, I died in a plane crash, baby.

[03:23]Oh, God.

[03:24]Is there a Judy Garland?

[03:26]Is there a Judy Garland album so we can do a little, what's that movie she was in, Wizard

[03:29]of Oz?

[03:30]We can do a, oh, wee, oh, yeah.

[03:33]Oh, it's the Wizard of Oz.

[03:36]Guys, if the Big Bopper was watching the little Wizard of Oz, I think it would go something

[03:40]like this.

[03:41]Oh, baby, I hope I don't die in a plane crash, baby.

[03:44]Oh, no.

[03:45]Them flying monkeys got me thinking about plane crashes.

[03:48]Hey, baby.

[03:49]You can ask me to do other Big Bopper impressions.

[03:53]No, no, no, no, no, no.

[03:56]This is my, this is another one of my patented.

[03:58]Maybe that's a sound drop I need, a patented Rob impression.

[04:01]Oh, yeah, baby.

[04:04]It's a plane crash, baby.

[04:06]Look out.

[04:07]Our listeners can't see this, but about 40 seconds ago, Aaron just put his head in his

[04:12]hands and stopped responding.

[04:13]We don't really have a sound bite that captures that fully, and if we did, the oh, yeah would

[04:19]certainly not be as enthusiastic as Rob's was.

[04:21]There's a movie about Buddy Holly, baby, and a movie about Richie Valens, baby.

[04:25]What about me, baby?

[04:26]The Big Bopper movie.

[04:27]It is kind of fucked that he didn't get a movie, right?

[04:31]Isn't that, isn't that who the three guys were?

[04:33]It was the Big Bopper, Richie Valens, and Buddy Holly?

[04:35]I think that's true.

[04:36]I mean, there's probably a porno called Big Bopper, right?

[04:39]Oh, wow.

[04:40]Sorry.

[04:42]I mean, I don't know.

[04:43]I'm just guessing.

[04:44]There must be one.

[04:44]You're sorry.

[04:45]No, you cannot say there's a porno with Big Bopper and then just say, I'm sorry.

[04:48]I'm just saying there was probably one.

[04:51]I will be bringing up the porno with Big Bopper later, so I need to keep it in the episode,

[04:55]baby.

[04:56]all the way why are you stuck under that why are you stuck under that couch baby

[05:06]you're trying to get something you can't move baby what's gonna happen

[05:10]now i'm showing you how much pornography i know about hey baby we're not you're just my step

[05:16]sister baby we're not related baby this is a record for how quickly we've gone off the rails

[05:22]on this podcast that movie would be called the step big bop somewhere the big bopper is rolling

[05:28]over his grave right now that's that's just the big bopper that's not you rob because you respect

[05:33]women right i do and it's shameful that the big bopper would be speaking like that but i do think

[05:37]his song i mean he's singing all about chantilly lace it's like it's true the chantilly lace can't

[05:42]can't be anything but about sex right that'd be a great video somebody should bring that back

[05:46]is there is there a rapper called chantilly lace there should be there should be and it should be

[05:52]all about it

[05:52]like panties hey baby chantilly lace put it in my face dig through your drawers when you're not

[05:59]around you leave the house you go to town i go in your underwear whoa whoa whoa i feel like you've

[06:08]thought this through previously rob before before we started recording this podcast i was telling

[06:16]bat and aaron and rob that i was recommending this podcast to a few female friends of mine

[06:21]and i am

[06:22]i immediately regret that right now hey russell okay i can't do any more big bopper big bopper is

[06:29]filthy i don't know what it is about the big bopper but saying dirty stuff in the big bopper

[06:32]doesn't seem bad well if you read his lyrics here we haven't been able to here we go i'm

[06:39]gonna be able to expound my lyrical readings lately but hello baby yes yes this is the big

[06:48]bopper speaking oh yeah wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute

[06:52]okay go ahead pick it up pick it up answer it oh baby just ignore that phone call baby

[07:04]hello baby yes this is the big bopper speak oh you sweet i don't like it when you read it like

[07:13]this will i what oh baby you know what i like

[07:21]i mean the jokes right themselves do you think he would do anything for love but he wouldn't do that

[07:27]is that what's going on what's that baby what's that oh but oh honey but oh baby you know what i

[07:34]like rolling go on rob i bet the big i bet the big bopper had a very small penis ironically you

[07:42]know what i mean it's like when a huge guy is called tiny or whatever oh no baby let's turn

[07:47]the lights off baby all right i'm not editing that out i don't care and you know what the worst

[07:53]part is i had a fantasy football draft with my family and as a joke text i said you need to

[07:57]subscribe to the podcast before you can draft and my mom texted back and go what's how do i

[08:03]subscribe to a podcast and my friend goes oh no don't there you go thank you yep so mom if you're

[08:10]listening oh i'm sorry babe all right

[08:12]you

[08:17]well if he were to hit the pervert alarm he would have hit it on this fifth album because i went

[08:22]with the most perverted one i could find and that is the big bopper chantilly lace oh no

[08:28]russell this is incredible hey baby moments did you buy my album baby

[08:34]put it in my face oh baby i love playing my album i think it's so great

[08:42]i died baby in a plane crash oh no i'm the big bopper

[08:47]i'm doing all the jokes from the last episode because i can't think of anything new

[08:52]have you listened to the big bopper record yet i did listen to the big bopper and i had to listen

[09:01]to that chantilly lace song but i was so disappointed because i thought the actual

[09:05]lyrics were chantilly lace put it in my face like robin sang before and they're not i don't

[09:10]remember what they were but the big bopper album is actually pretty awesome let's be very clear for

[09:16]our two female listeners out there

[09:17]that wasn't rob baby that was me the big bopper a character that when i say things

[09:22]it doesn't reflect what rob thinks it is not the opinions of this podcast baby

[09:27]i'm not circumcised baby oh no

[09:32]the big bopper ran out of things to say real fast today baby

[09:41]so that was my adventure in the record store and i feel like now i have a new plan and a new approach

[09:46]where i can go in there and look for hey i'm looking for something that i just think is fun

[09:51]the coolest one dollar record i can find the next highest one on the list

[09:55]and a new one and the most perverted one i can find

[10:00]because i feel like i can execute on that strategy every single time i like to think

[10:05]if you put in the big bopper record on the counter and being like pretty perverted huh

[10:09]the guy's like wait what you're like yeah pretty perverted way worse so that's why when you guys

[10:15]were asking me if i was embarrassed about the

[10:16]cocktail one i was like no i was more embarrassed about the big bopper

[10:19]let's talk about let's talk about some of these christmas nights but oh wait

[10:26]what's that i hear well it's a little louder than i thought but what's that i hear out on

[10:31]the horizon why guys look who's coming to visit oh ho ho baby it's me it's a big bopper clause

[10:41]big bopper clause big bopper clause doesn't like the how this jingle bells isn't that long it's more

[10:46]annoying than big bopper clause thought it would be oh ho ho you might think that big bopper did a

[10:53]christmas song one time and i'm gonna play it for you right now but my lifespan was so short baby i

[10:58]didn't even get a christmas song oh that's sad yeah i had i had one big hit i had actually had

[11:04]two big hits i had chantilly lace and then the plane hit in the ground you know what i mean

[11:08]oh dude that's too soon that's too soon well that's too soon big bopper clause joke is

[11:16]rolling boned seems like big bopper made a tactical error and came out with his hardest

[11:21]stuff right off the bat anything else would be big trouble just get it off so the big bopper

[11:26]clause is gonna say oh ho hey baby you know what i like and aaron i'm not getting you that for a

[11:35]present that was sick what you said i can't even understand how you'd use that okay oh see you

[11:40]later big bopper clause guys i'm excited if i had a time machine i would go ahead to next

[11:46]christmas so i could hear big bopper clause part two i think that's a hit it's a character

[11:50]after matt said that joke was rolling boned i feel bad that i sent my nieces and nephews a big

[11:56]bopper clause on the shelf and i know i'm gonna feel terrible about that oh big boppa's watching

[12:02]over you baby he knows what you like and he needs to be moved around every day but don't put me

[12:09]anywhere near that plastic plane we're all the way up to album 22

[15:03]i'm meatloaf i'm meatloaf the singer actually i had a better run as meatloaf the singer

[15:07]uh meatloaf i i heard unfortunately that you had passed away earlier today or for our listeners

[15:14]a few weeks ago his name is robert paulson his name is robert paulson that you can get a serious

[15:21]i don't know who this guy is he's kind of a bummer i'm dead meatloaf i'm here to just have some fun

[15:25]i'll tell you what uh i'm i'm dead meatloaf i'm so covered in dirt i could use a bath out of hell

[15:30]you guys know what i'm talking about oh we're not even 24 hours past this yeah no i i'm dead

[15:38]it's not too soon though it's because i'm fat so everybody can make fun of me it's actually okay

[15:42]meatloaf while you're calling it i did have a question for if you're

[15:44]willing to take any questions i'm happy to take questions uh i would do anything for a fan you

[15:51]know what i'm talking about i was listening the other day uh after i heard you pass away today i

[15:55]was listening to the song paradise by the dashboard light and i and i read that or that's about losing

[16:00]your virginity in a car i was kind of curious what is the best way to have sexual relations in a car

[16:05]oh i i think that's easy i think what you do is uh you can actually uh put her in the trunk with

[16:14]ex seats uh and then you just mostly close the trunk uh and that's a good way sub question is

[16:22]i had this discussion i had this discussion with one of our listeners today is paradise by the

[16:27]dashboard lights both a top five good karaoke song and the top five most difficult karaoke song to

[16:34]pull off because you gotta have someone who can sing the hell out of it and you gotta have somebody

[16:39]who can vamp the phil risotto part i had this discussion with the listener and i'll tell you

[16:43]this is rob by the way i'm back i

[16:44]i'm also talking to meatloaf uh i i uh i did do that song i got drunk before my sister's wedding

[16:49]and i did paradise by the dashboard lights it is also an all-timer song because it is like 10

[16:54]minutes and there's nothing anybody can do it repeats over and over and over yeah yeah i i do

[17:00]love that song and i'll tell you why russell i'm one of the few people to have a top 10 song about

[17:05]but in a car right there's not many people that can say that that song

[17:08]is the whole thing yeah he's when i'm rounding second base here and a third

[17:13]third base that's not second wait does anyone know have the bases ever been fully established

[17:18]what's first base aaron do you yeah well there's definitely a point where there's someone on third

[17:23]and there's a suicide squeeze to send him home and if i'm right it's the only way before the

[17:27]person's about to score meatloaf she stops him and says essentially if you're gonna sleep with

[17:31]me you gotta say you love me forever you gotta you gotta make me your wife so rob i was kind of

[17:36]curious uh meatloaf do you think it's okay to lie to a potential uh partner uh partner to a partner

[17:43]a sexual partner about whether you're in love with them in order to seal the deal

[17:48]i'll tell you what at the time if it's not a lie then it's okay okay at the time if you think that

[17:56]it might happen if you could do anything for love i think that that is perfectly fine uh what you do

[18:03]uh post coitus i think we have all have a certain kind of clarity uh whether we're closing browser

[18:08]windows or escaping out a bathroom window opening a trunk i tell them oh i have to go drop a meatloaf

[18:13]and then i i try to get out the window and then always it's a good uh maybe a follow-up question

[18:19]to that meatloaf so let's say you do let's say you they say excuse me can you just call me meat

[18:24]uh meatloaf was my dad's name loaf loaf i got you loaf loaf i'm curious if you if so let's say

[18:31]they do ask do you love me forever are you technically allowed to say am i allowed to

[18:34]sleep on it for a night can you tell your potential sexual partner i need to sleep on

[18:38]that question well that song was actually about uh i think one of the hardest things and that

[18:43]is when you do have blue balls and you are trying to fall asleep uh if you are a stomach sleeper like

[18:49]i am uh you have to find that nice place between the mattress and the box springs to fall asleep

[18:54]otherwise you just cannot uh with trying to sleep on it it's tough you know how do you get between

[19:00]the mattress and the box spring that seems like a i'm trying to imagine the math how this works here

[19:06]it's don't picture me naked my eyes are up here okay i'm meatloaf and i'm dead so please respect

[19:13]loaf loaf you're married too i was kind of curious once you were married uh and you have gotten late

[19:20]at that point are you allowed to tell your spouse that you're now praying for the end of time to

[19:24]arrive so you can end your time with them or not oh no no not permitted it's permitted in the song

[19:30]not advised not advised no no it's not a role model not it is it is true uh when you do say

[19:38]to your spouse that you are now praying for the end of time uh so that that is how you're

[19:43]over hopefully this planet will hurtle into the sun killing millions if not billions ending the

[19:49]dreams of everybody and that would be better than being married to you that's a step you cannot you

[19:54]cannot take those words back what what would you what would you do for love what wouldn't you do

[19:58]for love meatloaf i'll tell you what there's been a lot of misunderstanding i'm kind of losing the

[20:01]voice there has been a lot of misunderstandings about that song uh that song was actually i went

[20:07]through a period of time uh where i was obsessed with having sex with springs springs yeah i would

[20:13]do any spring for love and then they got written down wrong i was fucking slinkies i was i was

[20:19]fucking uh car shocks uh i even had sex between winter and summer rip it over rip it open

[20:27]mattresses yeah spring the spring yeah i was ripping over mattresses trying to sleep with the

[20:33]blue i was yeah can i sleep on it yeah you can sleep in it it's a mattress with a hole cut in it

[20:37]did that phase all go away when you got a loaf and crayon above and below it

[20:40]did that phase go away when you bought a water bed and you know

[20:43]longer had springs to sleep on the key was i had a water bed heater i bought one on craigslist

[26:27]crashes he's just gonna do an impression of what rob just did over and over yeah what are you guys

[26:32]even talking about that wasn't me that was the big bop

[26:38]It's a character.

[26:39]Big bup-a-baby.

[26:41]You know, Rob has never said anything on this podcast.

[26:45]It's a character.

[26:45]It's true.

[26:46]It's true.

[26:47]So I thought we could do a list of the other greatest false endings in music history.

[26:52]I love it.

[26:52]Nice.

[26:53]Very excited.

[26:53]That was a false ending there in the sub-bass.

[27:00]You know what I would call a false ending?

[27:06]Winter.

[27:06]I mean, a false ending.

[27:08]I thought we called it autumn on this podcast.

[27:11]Oh, God, that's right.

[27:12]It's like, I thought it was like when you put a letter in the mail in the fall.

[27:16]It's a false ending.

[27:17]False ending, yeah.

[27:18]Well, I was going to say false ending.

[27:21]I mean, that sounds kind of like the Big Bopper, you know.

[27:23]Oh, my God.

[27:25]Falling in this plane is the worst thing ever.

[27:27]I cannot imagine anything worse.

[27:28]I can think of one thing.

[27:30]So the other night,

[27:35]I went to,

[27:36]you guys know I love going to see new things,

[27:39]and I went to the History Theater the other night.

[27:41]Have you guys ever been to the History Theater in St. Paul before?

[27:44]The History Theater?

[27:45]What?

[27:46]So the History Theater actually had a musical show going on,

[27:49]and I thought I had to go see it.

[27:51]It was called Buddy, the Buddy Holly story.

[27:53]Oh, wow.

[27:54]So a musical, the Buddy Holly musical.

[27:56]Have you guys ever, like, they did the movies, I think, right, Rob?

[27:59]Is that correct?

[28:00]What?

[28:02]What do you mean they did the movies?

[28:04]About Buddy Holly?

[28:05]Yeah.

[28:06]Yeah, I think so.

[28:07]Yeah.

[28:08]What's his name was in it?

[28:09]Gary Busey.

[28:10]Wasn't he Buddy Holly?

[28:11]Yeah.

[28:12]There you go.

[28:13]Was he really?

[28:13]Oh, yeah.

[28:14]Before he had his motorcycle accident,

[28:16]he lost his mind and turned into a big weirdo.

[28:18]So it was the musical at the History Theater,

[28:22]all about Buddy Holly.

[28:23]So they're doing all the Buddy Holly songs.

[28:25]It's kind of the story of how he became, you know,

[28:28]a big star and then right through the end of his life,

[28:30]which we've talked about numerous times before,

[28:33]but it was actually interesting because...

[28:34]Oh, have we discussed the end of Buddy Holly's life?

[28:36]I can't recall.

[28:37]I can't remember.

[28:37]How did he pass away?

[28:38]But so it was interesting, like when you go to a,

[28:41]like if you go to certain concerts,

[28:43]you might be the oldest person there.

[28:47]Like Matt's going to be going to Smashing Pumpkins

[28:49]coming up in a few weeks,

[28:50]and he's probably going to be right in the median age group

[28:53]of who's going to be at a concert like that,

[28:55]I would think, right?

[28:55]There's going to be lots of local moms around.

[28:57]If not even just a little bit younger than the average.

[28:59]I will say this.

[29:01]A couple years younger.

[29:03]When you've got hair that's as white as mine

[29:05]and you go to a theater,

[29:06]and everyone looks older than you,

[29:08]you're like, oh shit.

[29:09]And that must be a sign that you're at a Buddy Holly musical

[29:12]because I was, there was a lot of old people.

[29:16]It's the most old people I've seen in one location,

[29:18]I think in my entire life,

[29:20]is the Buddy Holly musical at the History Theater.

[29:22]I think it would be nice if just next door

[29:24]to the History Theater,

[29:26]they just had a graveyard.

[29:27]It was like, listen, we're just skipping the middle man.

[29:29]Everybody come on over,

[29:31]just hop into one of these graves,

[29:32]cover you up, we're done.

[29:33]Hope you enjoyed the show.

[29:34]Time for the...

[29:36]Look at that.

[29:36]Two for one.

[29:37]Warm embrace of death to take you.

[29:39]Come on, here we go.

[29:40]That's the encore.

[29:41]It's you in a grave.

[29:42]Put whatever you want on the tombstone.

[29:43]We'll throw it in for free.

[29:44]Yes.

[29:45]You get by the wheelchair row seat

[29:47]and then the tomb in a bundle.

[29:51]Russell sits down.

[29:53]He's like, this is so weird.

[29:55]This is the only spot in this theater

[29:56]that's not a wheelchair seat.

[29:58]I don't get what's going on here.

[30:00]So anyway, so the musical was actually really good.

[30:03]They come out and so they're telling the story

[30:05]of Buddy Holly

[30:06]and the crickets.

[30:07]And I thought I could share some of the stuff

[30:09]I learned about Buddy Holly

[30:10]because we've talked about him

[30:11]and his compatriots that have,

[30:13]I believe as Rob put it,

[30:15]died in a plane crash.

[30:17]We've talked about them a number of times, right?

[30:19]As Rob put it.

[30:20]I prefer to say they had a smash hit.

[30:22]There aren't that many other ways to put it,

[30:24]but yeah.

[30:25]But so I was curious,

[30:28]do you guys ever,

[30:29]do you know,

[30:29]so like the big hit he had was Peggy Sue, right?

[30:32]Do you know that that was supposed to have

[30:35]a different name for that song?

[30:36]Before they called it Peggy Sue?

[30:37]Did you know that?

[30:38]Really?

[30:39]I didn't know that.

[30:39]Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue.

[30:41]The actual name for the song originally

[30:44]was called Cindy Lou.

[30:46]And they changed it

[30:48]because one of the guys in the crickets,

[30:50]one of the members of the band

[30:51]was kind of, you know,

[30:52]trying to hook up with a lady named Peggy Sue.

[30:55]And he said, hey, if we change the name,

[30:57]it'll probably help me with this girl.

[30:59]They changed the name,

[31:01]becomes a huge hit,

[31:02]and he ended up marrying the girl, Peggy Sue.

[31:05]Wow.

[31:05]Did you guys know that?

[31:06]No doubt.

[31:06]No, that's, that's fascinating.

[31:08]That reminds me of the time

[31:09]I was trying to have sex with Beck.

[31:11]And you guys will never believe

[31:12]the scheme I came up with.

[31:13]It's so crazy, it just might work.

[31:18]118 episodes later.

[31:21]Hey, I've got a microphone.

[31:23]You want to milk me, Beck?

[31:24]So another interesting thing

[31:28]I learned about Buddy Holly is,

[31:30]you guys know the song Every Day, Rob?

[31:32]I think you have that.

[31:33]Maybe we can pull that up

[31:34]and listen to it real quick.

[31:36]It's funny, like,

[31:36]I didn't know this was a Buddy Holly song.

[31:38]I know I should know that,

[31:39]but I didn't know this was Buddy Holly.

[31:40]Welcome to Rexman.

[31:43]This is on the beginning of Welcome to Rexman.

[31:45]Have you guys...

[31:46]Yeah.

[31:46]Ooh, I haven't watched that yet.

[31:47]You like it?

[31:48]Oh, God.

[31:49]This is such a good song.

[31:51]I mean, it really is, like,

[31:52]this could come out now

[31:53]and it would be a hit, I think.

[31:55]A couple of the interesting things about the song,

[31:57]do you know what the sound is?

[31:59]Do you know what that percussion sound is?

[32:01]Okay, let's listen.

[32:02]It sounds like a hand clap.

[32:03]No, it's not, is it?

[32:05]I'm not going to say what I think,

[32:06]I think it is, okay?

[32:07]We had too much of that

[32:07]in the last episode.

[32:08]I think it's him beating his little buddy.

[32:12]Okay, you made me say it.

[32:14]It is actually...

[32:16]It is actually them just patting their legs,

[32:19]patting their jeans

[32:20]because the drums were too loud for the song.

[32:23]Oh, that's beautiful.

[32:25]And it was actually the producer's wife

[32:27]is playing some type of mini piano

[32:29]that's that kind of, like,

[32:30]it almost sounds like a kid's xylophone type thing

[32:33]in the background.

[32:34]I thought it was a baggage bill.

[32:35]Wow.

[32:36]It's a mini piano.

[32:37]That is so interesting.

[32:38]I will say, I think I'm suspicious, though,

[32:39]because at the end of the song,

[32:41]the patting the leg speeds way up

[32:42]and then you can hear him breathing pretty hard

[32:44]for the last five seconds or so.

[32:45]And then he falls asleep really quickly,

[32:47]so I'm a little, I don't know what's going on.

[32:49]And they were trying to get in,

[32:51]they were trying to get into the studio,

[32:52]but the door was locked,

[32:54]and they said, why is the door locked?

[32:55]Yeah.

[32:55]Oh, just, wait a second, wait a second.

[32:57]I was watching TV.

[32:59]Oh, that's weird, the TV's off.

[33:01]Why is everyone lying down to record this?

[33:03]Yeah, why does it smell like mulch in here?

[33:05]I try, guys, I really try to not be like this.

[33:11]I don't know what it is.

[33:13]So I learned all these interesting things

[33:16]about Buddy Holly's music,

[33:17]but I also learned something about him as a person.

[33:19]So he met his future bride,

[33:21]and they got engaged within five hours

[33:25]of meeting each other.

[33:25]What are your guys' thoughts

[33:27]about someone who gets engaged after five hours?

[33:30]Five-hour engagement, your thoughts.

[33:33]Did it work, though?

[33:34]They were still married,

[33:35]but they were still married when he died, right?

[33:36]I mean, he died.

[33:37]Oh, Aaron, come on.

[33:38]That's terrible.

[33:39]Did it work?

[33:40]Yeah, he got to fuck.

[33:42]I mean, guys, that's why he did it, right?

[33:43]It's the same reason I had kids get married

[33:46]when they were 18 from my high school.

[33:47]They wanted to go to the bone zone, okay?

[33:51]That's what Buddy Holly, okay?

[33:54]He was thinking about every day

[33:55]sliding that salami into his wife.

[33:57]It's the only reason you get married

[33:59]after six hours, right?

[34:00]Like, come on.

[34:01]Would it be possible for you to meet somebody

[34:04]and get engaged?

[34:05]In six hours?

[34:06]Well, Buddy Holly did it.

[34:09]He did it.

[34:10]I think it would for me.

[34:11]I think I would do something like that.

[34:12]That sounds like something I would go for.

[34:14]Just be like, yeah, fuck it.

[34:15]Why not?

[34:15]Let's get married.

[34:15]Like, I want to become the mayor of Poundtown.

[34:19]Like, let's do this shit.

[34:20]You know what I mean?

[34:20]I don't know.

[34:21]Russell, what about you?

[34:22]I mean, it's, okay.

[34:24]Never mind.

[34:25]I'm not even going to ask you, Russell.

[34:27]Technically, I need more than five hours.

[34:29]Yes.

[34:29]It seems that way.

[34:30]Yes.

[34:31]Empirical evidence would show

[34:35]that the five-hour engagement

[34:35]or the five-hour limit

[34:36]has not worked for me historically.

[34:37]I don't know.

[34:38]Just try it, Russell.

[34:39]Next date, just be like,

[34:40]let's get married.

[34:41]But the first five girls

[34:43]I did propose to within five hours,

[34:44]it was going well up to them.

[34:46]So technically,

[34:48]I don't know what turned us the wrong way.

[34:50]I think when they're getting in their car

[34:52]and you chase after them and say,

[34:53]oh, you forgot something,

[34:54]and then you get down on your knee

[34:56]and say, will you marry me?

[34:57]I think that's the problem

[34:58]is that they're sitting in their car

[34:59]when you propose to them.

[35:00]They can easily drive away.

[35:01]At least the first couple

[35:01]gave me the ring back

[35:02]so I could repurpose it, right?

[35:04]The other thing that was really,

[35:05]really cool about this show

[35:06]is so they had an amazing lineup of music

[35:08]and it included the finals concert

[35:12]that Buddy Holly performed

[35:14]with Richie Valens and the Big Bopper.

[35:16]And the Big Bopper was in the show.

[35:19]Richie Valens was in the show.

[35:21]Maybe we could pull up La Bamba.

[35:22]Like, they played this and it rocked.

[35:24]The whole crowd was going nuts for it.

[35:27]Ah, yes.

[35:28]What's the percussion to this one?

[35:33]I don't know.

[35:35]I don't know that.

[35:35]They always said one interesting thing

[35:37]about Richie Valens

[35:40]and it just made everyone sad

[35:41]so I'm not going to repeat it.

[35:42]Russell at the end was like,

[35:45]hey, I have some questions

[35:46]for the people that put on the play

[35:48]and they're like,

[35:48]sir, you've already asked 20 questions

[35:50]detailed about different percussion

[35:52]that was in the song.

[35:53]We can't keep going like this.

[35:55]Well, I will say

[35:56]when the Big Bopper came out,

[35:57]I was definitely louder

[35:59]than most of the old folks

[36:00]in the building

[36:01]because it was

[36:01]Big Bopper time, baby.

[36:03]I was super into it.

[36:05]Like, I was doing raps.

[36:06]Yes, baby.

[36:08]This is the Big Bopper, baby.

[36:10]You want me to what?

[36:12]And he came out

[36:14]and he did the whole bit.

[36:15]You guys would have loved it.

[36:16]Yes.

[36:17]Now, you've got to admit, right,

[36:20]if you go to this last concert

[36:21]and you see Buddy Holly

[36:23]hit after hit,

[36:24]Richie Valens

[36:26]bringing it with the guitar

[36:27]and then this,

[36:28]you'd be like, what the fuck?

[36:29]And Terry Lay's

[36:29]put it in my face.

[36:31]I mean,

[36:35]this is so far below

[36:36]those other songs.

[36:37]How the Big Bopper

[36:38]got onto that flight

[36:38]is absolutely beyond me.

[36:40]The Big Bopper

[36:41]was really good at this show,

[36:42]but I will say, Rob,

[36:43]I have to,

[36:44]this is where I got

[36:46]really tripped up

[36:46]with the Big Bopper.

[36:47]He came out

[36:48]and they've got a phone for him

[36:49]because it rings, you know,

[36:50]at the beginning of Chantilly Lace.

[36:52]Oh, yeah.

[36:52]And so I'm sitting there

[36:53]and I'm getting excited.

[36:54]I'm sitting there

[36:55]with a theater goer next to me

[36:56]and I'm like,

[36:57]let it ring twice

[36:58]because we always let it ring twice.

[36:59]I'm audibly saying this

[37:01]out loud in the theater.

[37:02]Let it ring twice,

[37:03]Bopper, baby.

[37:04]You know what?

[37:05]It only rang once

[37:07]and I immediately look

[37:08]to the person next to me

[37:09]and I say,

[37:10]what the fuck?

[37:10]It's supposed to ring twice.

[37:12]Rob,

[37:13]maybe we could pull back

[37:14]to the beginning.

[37:15]I'm wondering

[37:15]if we're doing something wrong.

[37:17]I wonder if there's one ring

[37:18]or two rings

[37:19]at the beginning

[37:19]of this Big Bopper.

[37:20]Oh, no.

[37:20]Our brains are broken.

[37:22]Okay, here we go.

[37:24]Is this podcast

[37:26]Beck Did It Better

[37:27]historically accurate?

[37:28]Let's find out.

[37:29]Are we built on a lie?

[37:30]Hello, baby.

[37:33]One ring.

[37:34]Oh, no.

[37:36]Every time we've called

[37:37]the Bopper before,

[37:38]I've been told

[37:39]there needs to be two rings

[37:41]to talk to the Bopper.

[37:42]It turns out,

[37:43]you sweet bag,

[37:44]you only need to let it ring once.

[37:46]But here's the thing.

[37:47]That doesn't even sound

[37:48]like a phone to me.

[37:49]That sounds like somebody,

[37:49]I mean, listen to this.

[37:50]It sounds like somebody's

[37:51]going into a store, right?

[37:53]This sounds like you're going

[37:54]into a drugstore.

[37:55]You know what I mean?

[37:57]Like, hey, baby.

[37:58]Hey, baby, it's me.

[38:00]It's the Big Bopper.

[38:00]I'm in Duane Reade

[38:02]and I'm looking for

[38:02]peanut M&M's, baby.

[38:04]And I'm looking for

[38:04]peanut M&M's and some condoms,

[38:05]but they're under glass, baby.

[38:07]So I got to get some help.

[38:08]I need some deodorant

[38:09]and some condoms.

[38:10]Don't even ask

[38:11]what's going on tonight.

[38:12]I think.

[38:12]Oh, now, wait a minute.

[38:15]Picking up what?

[38:16]Hello.

[38:16]Is this the Bopper?

[38:17]This is interesting.

[38:20]Two rings.

[38:20]No, it's only one ring.

[38:21]Hey, baby.

[38:23]Folks, I got to tell you,

[38:25]Big Bopper wants to come in

[38:26]and give you a little message

[38:27]about why I use two rings.

[38:28]I'll tell you what.

[38:30]I gave one ring

[38:31]to my wife after six hours

[38:33]because I wanted to be

[38:34]the mayor of Pound Town

[38:35]so bad, baby.

[38:36]Oh, yeah.

[38:38]And the other ring.

[38:40]Do you know what

[38:40]that other ring was for, baby?

[38:42]What was the other ring, Bopper?

[38:43]Shit, I thought

[38:47]I'd have a joke ready by now

[38:48]and I don't.

[38:48]Probably the flame

[38:49]of a fire around that airplane

[38:51]that went down in Cedar Falls.

[38:52]Clearly.

[38:55]Clearly.

[38:56]Clearly, yeah.

[38:57]It's, as I've mentioned before,

[38:59]this memorial

[39:00]where it's the Big Bopper

[39:01]and he's on the ground.

[39:01]It's actually just a chalk outline,

[39:03]but it's real big in the middle.

[39:04]He's like this.

[39:05]I'm doing it.

[39:10]I'm doing it.

[39:10]I'm doing it.

[39:10]Some sort of pose.

[39:11]Listen, this is all getting cut out.

[39:13]I will say this.

[39:14]The show was really good.

[39:15]Besides me getting like

[39:16]overly excited

[39:18]about the Big Bopper, baby,

[39:19]and like audibly yelling it

[39:20]when he came out there.

[39:21]But the show was really good,

[39:23]but they did a very good job

[39:24]at the end.

[39:25]They kind of showed

[39:26]the final concert

[39:27]and then the lights went dark

[39:29]and they said,

[39:29]and then they talked about

[39:30]the plane crash for a minute.

[39:32]And then they said,

[39:33]the rest of this concert

[39:34]the rest of this show

[39:35]will be rock and roll.

[39:37]And they just came back

[39:38]and played like

[39:39]three amazing rock songs.

[39:41]It was a great way

[39:41]to end the show,

[39:42]but they did a fantastic job.

[39:44]The History Theater in St. Paul,

[39:45]I'd highly recommend it.

[39:46]This is good rock and roll music.

[39:51]This is so rock and roll right there.

[39:52]Well, actually,

[39:53]I believe they ended

[39:54]with a Chuck Berry song, Rob.

[39:56]Oh, oh my God.

[39:58]Hey, it might surprise you guys,

[40:00]but Jerry Lee Lewis died this week

[40:02]and it was on Twitter.

[40:03]It might surprise you.

[40:04]I was,

[40:04]I was deep into the Twitter replies

[40:07]saying nasty things

[40:08]about Jerry Lee Lewis

[40:08]reminding everybody

[40:09]what a piece of shit that guy was.

[40:11]So that might surprise you.

[40:12]I didn't know he was still alive.

[40:14]That was a new day.

[40:14]I was,

[40:15]I was back to my old,

[40:16]back to my old games again.

[40:18]Russell,

[40:18]that's unbelievable

[40:19]that you went to a show

[40:20]starring the Big Bopper.

[40:22]It makes me laugh so hard

[40:23]just thinking about this.

[40:24]The final song that they ended

[40:27]after they went through

[40:28]the plane crash,

[40:29]which part of me,

[40:29]I couldn't think of anything

[40:31]but Rob

[40:31]when they talked about

[40:32]the plane crash,

[40:33]but they did it

[40:34]end with the last two songs

[40:36]were Rave On

[40:37]and then the final song

[40:38]was Johnny Be Good

[40:39]is what they ended the show with.

[40:41]Fantastic show.

[40:42]Oh my God.

[40:42]Rave On,

[40:43]crazy feeling.

[40:44]I still,

[40:45]every time I open up

[40:46]our Google Drive

[40:47]and I see the Chuck Berry

[40:48]Mediocre 28,

[40:49]I laugh out loud.

[40:50]Every time I see that,

[40:51]that's how it's labeled.

[40:52]It's so good.

[40:53]Matt, rolling, going,

[40:54]how's it going with you?

[40:54]Good.

[40:56]Just one thing.

[40:57]Wikipedia says that his wife

[40:59]is still alive.

[41:01]She's 89 years old.

[41:02]Wow.

[41:02]Going in San Juan,

[41:04]Puerto Rico.

[41:04]How about that?

[41:05]Buddy Holly's wife?

[41:06]I don't like to make carryover jokes,

[41:07]but is she local?

[41:08]Oh, no.

[41:09]No, not local.

[41:11]She lives in Puerto Rico.

[41:13]Wow.

[41:14]Not local.

[41:14]She should write a book about her, man.

[41:17]That'd be fascinating.

[41:17]Yeah.

[41:18]Yeah.

[41:18]Interesting.

[41:20]What does she like to fuck Buddy Holly?

[41:22]I don't know.

[41:23]That's not the part I was thinking about.

[41:25]I think maybe you could change it

[41:26]to what was it like

[41:27]to get engaged to Buddy Holly

[41:28]in five hours?

[41:29]Hmm.

[41:30]I think it would sound

[41:32]something like this.

[41:34]I don't know.

[42:04]More self-satisfied

[42:06]than when he

[42:07]comes up with something like this.

[42:09]What's that percussion

[42:10]I hear in the back?

[42:11]Sorry.

[42:17]He says at the end.

[42:18]That is so real.

[42:20]Sorry.

[42:20]Sorry.

[42:21]Sorry.

[42:22]I'm sorry, baby.

[42:25]Next record.

[42:30]Next record I came across.

[42:31]I decided to add a new record

[42:34]to my

[42:34]my strategy

[42:35]and that is

[42:36]if I ever go see something live,

[42:37]I want to get the record of it, right?

[42:39]I like it.

[42:39]Yes, I like it.

[42:40]So the one I got this week

[42:41]is a Buddy Holly record.

[42:43]Oh, yeah.

[42:45]It's got Peggy Sue on it,

[42:46]Ravon,

[42:47]a bunch of other awesome songs.

[42:48]So I figure adding

[42:49]anything you've seen live,

[42:50]you need to get a record of it

[42:52]is the way to go, right?

[42:53]Well, it's also super fun to listen to.

[42:54]Like, that's some of the greatest music there is.

[42:56]I just want to be clear.

[42:57]You didn't see Buddy Holly live, right?

[42:59]Yeah.

[42:59]Like, you know that, right?

[43:00]Like, you saw a play

[43:01]where somebody was playing Buddy Holly.

[43:03]I mean,

[43:04]if he was going to see Buddy Holly live,

[43:06]who would he have to call first

[43:07]to see him?

[43:08]Like, how would he make that happen?

[43:09]I mean, maybe they would call us.

[43:11]Is there anybody who could hook that up?

[43:12]I don't know.

[43:13]Like, could anybody make that happen?

[43:14]Hello?

[43:16]Hello?

[43:17]Hello?

[43:18]Hello, baby.

[43:20]It's me, the Big Papa, baby.

[43:23]Who'd you want to see Buddy Holly?

[43:25]What's going on?

[43:26]Oh, Big Papa, baby.

[43:27]You've got to go through me

[43:28]if you want to talk to Buddy Holly.

[43:30]Can you put us in touch with Buddy?

[43:32]Yeah, you know,

[43:34]Buddy Holly, he loves...

[43:36]Oh, I'm losing it a little bit.

[43:37]Buddy Holly loves to talk to lawyers.

[43:39]Do you know why Buddy Holly

[43:40]loves to talk to lawyers?

[43:41]Why does he like talking to lawyers, Popper?

[43:43]A Pegasoo, a Pegasoo.

[43:45]Oh, no.

[43:47]A Pegasoo, a Peggy.

[43:49]I mean, I knew I would regret this, but...

[43:51]Hey, Popper, I was wondering...

[43:54]Popper, I heard that Buddy Holly

[43:57]got engaged after only knowing a woman

[44:00]for five hours.

[44:01]What are your thoughts

[44:02]about getting engaged

[44:02]after five hours, Popper?

[44:04]Oh, baby.

[44:04]I asked him about that, baby,

[44:05]and you know what Buddy Holly

[44:06]said to me up here?

[44:07]What'd he say?

[44:08]First of all, he talked like this

[44:10]because his face got smashed in

[44:11]in the plane crash.

[44:12]Oh!

[44:13]And it turns out that

[44:14]that affects you in heaven, too.

[44:15]You can do whatever you want in heaven,

[44:16]but you are...

[44:17]If you get your face smashed,

[44:18]your face is smashed in heaven, too.

[44:20]A lot of people don't realize that.

[44:21]They don't think it's great.

[44:21]Deep theology here.

[44:22]I didn't know.

[44:22]Yes, it's true.

[44:23]Let's learn that from Pastor Bruce.

[44:25]I asked Buddy Holly,

[44:26]why did you marry a woman

[44:27]after whatever Russell said earlier,

[44:29]and maybe I wasn't listening so closely,

[44:30]and he said,

[44:31]you know, Big Papa,

[44:33]I just wanted to see her

[44:35]chantilly lace

[44:36]and a pretty face

[44:37]and a pony tail

[44:38]hanging down.

[44:40]He wanted me in those pantaloons, baby.

[44:43]Oh, yeah, baby.

[44:44]Well, it was nice talking with you, Big Bopper.

[44:48]We'll have to give you a call

[44:49]next time we go to the record store.

[44:50]Please call me again.

[44:52]I'm so lonely.

[44:53]I'm so lonely.

[44:55]So lonely.

[44:58]I don't get to talk to Big Bopper

[45:02]as much as you guys.

[45:03]I think I'd like to.

[45:04]I think it'd be something.

[45:05]I got a lot of questions.

[45:06]When you want to hear about

[45:10]the greatest albums of all time,

[45:13]but you're just too lazy

[45:15]to look it up online.

[45:17]If you want to hear from guys who chat

[45:21]and then they get off track,

[45:23]I've got the perfect podcast for you, Jack.

[45:28]Beck did it better.

[45:33]He's a great guy.
