"Better life at work, which is that's what we are, we're business. Business consultants, yeah. Right. It's a better road map to life when you lead with gratitude when you govern with gratitude. When you live with gratitude, and when you address mental health in the workplace, and you understand that, listen, people are burned out. People are afraid. Right. And the best message you can give them is you're not alone. Right here. And I will listen. And if I can help, I'm going to help. But whatever you do, don't go off all by yourself. It's the most dangerous thing you can be. And and I think we know that our communities, right? We travel. We understand your family, your food, you know. Your sports, it's great. Yes, and I certainly think that's so poignant and the key to all messages is isolation is leads to bad things. I'll just say it that way, right? And when you most feel like isolating is when you most need to lean into some any type of community. Well, I should say, any supportive community or person, right? Just to kind of let the stress, anxiety. If somebody is feeling that, somebody's listening to the show today, what's the best advice you can give them or what's the best direction or coaching you would give them if they're starting to feel like they're going to isolate or starting to feel like the world's against them? What must they do? Go serve. To just go do something kind. I hope your neighbor rake their leaves. Right. Take some cookies across the street. You know, I'll tell you, I've got a ritual that I love. I wake up in the morning and I take a little quote of kindness or service or something. And I text it to 28 people. I know that sounds crazy, but you're talking to the apostle appreciation. Right, right, you have to. This is part of the permission, right? I'll tell you what it does for me, Matt, is it's a little something that I can send to people that I really care about. I started it with a cousin of my new daddy stroke. Uh huh. And I said, you know, I know that there'll be this rush of goodwill and people were doing food. And two weeks from now, they're on with their lives. They moved on. You're forgotten. So if it's okay with you, I'm just going to send you a little message every day. And he had some problems with his speech and stuff. I didn't expect him to call me him. Right. It's two years. We've been doing this now. And he said, hey, by the way, you can cut it back once a week. I've got this great folder and I said, great. Well, and then he had another stroke. Oh, gosh. And I said, I know that you just, I'm going to go back to every day if that's okay. Well, I would tell friends about it. I said, well, can you put me on the list? Right. And it's just such a lovely way for me to start the day to send a little message to my Friends. That, hey, I was thinking about it. I care about it. You're in my prayers. And here's a little something right in your day with a little challenge. And it's almost always, you know, set a goal that they had to perform a random act of kindness. And just see if that doesn't make your day a little better. And so, you know, get out. Think less of, you know, great leaders don't think less of themselves. They think about themselves less. And they think about people more. So think about somebody else. Get out of your mindset, woe is me. And bake about your cookies, send a handwritten note to somebody, call somebody that you haven't talked to in a long time and say, hey I was just thinking about you. How's it going? How can I help? I'm telling you, I think service is the road map to happiness. Love that. I love that. You've got so many great one liners. We just need to capture them all and do. You just need to. Well, you just need to text that every day. And I think you should expand your text message list. I think you should invite people. I'm serious. I think I know other people do that. But I was like, I'll be on the I was like, I want to be on that list, right? Well, let's wrap up with this. I'm so excited you brought that up. Because Christy, who puts together my calendar? Yeah, yeah. You've been saying Cheshire. I can't believe he gave you that opening. You didn't take it. Right. We published a newsletter on LinkedIn twice a month. It's called the gratitude journal. And people have opted in. 250,000 people have options oh my gosh. Wow. And we highlight, you know, friends that have written books like today, we dropped the newsletter today. High shape or sell. It was a dear friend of mine who's written a wonderful book designed the long life you love. We're going to live longer. We live in. Have we sat down and mapped that out? What's going to make that a meaningful and purposeful life? Well, along with the newsletter, we highlight like our podcast and different stuff. We just started it so funny you mentioned this. We just started, you can text gratitude to a number that's in there. And once a week, I'll send you a gratitude text. That gratitude from Chester Elton. I love it. See? See? And I'm the one of the requests I didn't even know that existed. So where do people forgot about it? I'm so glad that we're just starting to launch it, right? You are welcome. This is the world. This is your environment saying, yes. So how do people get on that list? Just go to LinkedIn and follow me. Newsletter jump up and then you text gratitude and follow you on LinkedIn. I'm writing this down, follow you on LinkedIn, which is just Chester Elton ELT ON. On LinkedIn. On LinkedIn. And everything's in that newsletter. So a wonderful website called the culture works dot com where we have our other work. But LinkedIn really is a great place to to find all the stuff we're doing now. I'm going to pull this up really quick. I was going to say. Yeah, oh, perfect. That's even that's even easier. Let's do that. 'cause I was like, well, I've got to go to LinkedIn now. Yeah, what's the number? For a dose of gratitude from Chester Elton. The word gratitude. Gratitude. 9 O 8. 9 O 8. 6 zero four 6 zero. Two 8 two zero. Two 8 two zero. That number again, 908-460-2820 operators are standing there standing by. And it's just the word gratitude, because I'm not actually done this before. I'm not done one of those things where you text and so this is literally you just text the word gratitude to this number, and then it puts you on your email, but your text list. Yeah. And you're seeing that on, are you seeing that on LinkedIn? You're seeing that on LinkedIn. Okay. I don't go on LinkedIn very often, and I don't use that very much, but I will definitely, it'll be super easy for me after the show just dial that number and not dial that number but text that number the word gratitude. I'm there with you, brother. I'm there. There you go. We're together now. We will appreciate the weekly. So is it similar to what you do daily? It's just kind of a weekly and we may up the frequency. We thought we'd start with just once a week and got a good response. We might do more than that. But yeah, and you know, every now and again, I quote myself, which is a little ecosystem. I think, but you know, it's a lot like the usual suspects, right? It's Mother Teresa. It's Gandhi. You know, some of my heroes. And it's just a lovely way to start your day. And we all need a little more kindness, a little more gratitude. Adrian, I do a lot of executive coaching. And the way I start every coaching engagement is I'll say, look, we've got a formula and we've got a practice. And if you follow it in your coachable, you'll be a better leader. I mean, you just will be. It's

"I'm Matt Lille and this is Chester Elton. Yeah. And great to be here, man. Thanks for asking. Yeah, we are so happy to have you on the show today. If there are people tuning in live, we were running a little bit late. We apologize for that. But if there are people tuning in, just know that you can ask questions in the chat and we'll be happy to have Chester address those questions. I'm excited to talk to you today because you are known as the gratitude guru. Actually, Matt, my official title is the apostle of appreciation. Oh, God, that was so funny at knock my headsets off. The apostle of so you get a promotion last year. I missed that, I guess. I didn't get an invite to that party. So Adrian gostic is my wonderful co author and dear dear friend. We wrote a book years ago called the carrot principle. Oh, okay. And we both grew up in Canada. So in the Toronto Globe and Mail, which is Canada's largest newspaper, reviewed the book. The reviewer said, without question, Adrian gosk and Chesterfield are the apostles of appreciation. And I liked it so much. I'm keeping it. Okay, so we're going to dive into gratitude and appreciation today. That's a big part of why we wanted to come on the show because I think I can't think of a more important time in our at least in my lifetime and probably in your time where gratitude and appreciation it's so much needed. Because there's such an almost, I would say almost lack of it in the general sense of the media and social media and just in the world it seems like we're not as generous with kindness as maybe we used to be. So it's great to have this subject to come in and I'll even ask your perspective on that. I know you're an apostle, but if you were a regular human, if you're a regular human being, what would you be seeing? Well, first off, can I get a amen? You know what I'm saying? You know, I think you're spot on when you talk about the fact that there's just such a lack of grace and kindness in the world right now. We seem to be so divided on so many different issues, right? Right. I've been reading a wonderful actually an audiobook that I highly recommend by a gentleman named Arthur Brooks. And the title would lead you to believe it's a religious book. It's not. It's called love, love your enemies. He's actually an economist. Also a very devout Catholic, and so he doesn't leave the spiritual side to the side. What he talks about, though, is that we've developed a culture of contempt and the number one way you can tell if you're being treated with contempt is when you're talking to somebody and they roll their eyes. That's that Matt lily guy again. And so he says, you know, we've got to get past that where we listen and we debate. He says, you know, debate is really important. And I'm a big believer in that. He makes a point that I'd never thought of before. He says, you know, Pepsi never wants to put Coke out of business. Because Coke makes Pepsi better. Competition makes us better. The point that it'll get to gratitude and kindness, as he says, so we counter contempt and we say, well, you need to be more tolerant. It's just 11. Think about that for a minute. If I said, how's your marriage going? And you said, you know, my wife, she, she tolerates me. An exciting time for her husband. You'd say you would immediately need to go to counseling, you know what I mean? I mean, there's something. So he says, we've got to get the point where we actually embrace different ideas. We embrace different people embrace a different way of getting to happiness, which is what we all want to get to. So how does gratitude and kind of play a role in that? Well, I've become a big fan of Buddhism. Oh, uh huh. I'm a very devout Christian, but what I love about Buddhism is Christian Buddhist. Right, you don't have to write. Well, and we're going to get off on trails I can already tell. But Adidas shantae wrote a book that he's Buddhist and he wrote a book about, I think it was called resurrecting Christ or something about him. And so he had talked about, he had the opposite experience, right? He went from being Buddhist, and then he really studied dove into Christianity. And he said it was just a better experience. He's a better Christian because a better Buddhist because he understood now what Christ was about. I was like, an interesting how that works. I think the foundation of every major religion that you can think of. His love. It absolutely. Totally, right. God is love, right? I mean, that's what that's what that's what it is, right? Right. Unfortunately, not what we tend to live. It's what we believe, right? Right. So I read Jay Shetty's book, I think like a monk, which is just a door. And by the way, he endorsed our book, leading with gratitude. Oh, nice. Just wonderful. He said, you know, in the Buddhist philosophy, every word that comes through your mouth needs to pass through three doors or three gates. And the first one is, is it true? Is what you're saying true. The second one is it necessary. Which is also a great question to ask yourself. The third one is, is it kind? Right. So I'm a big fan of trying to stay healthy. And so I was at stretch lab today. They stretch. To stretch ourselves, right? Yes. The show brought to you by stretch lab. Thank you very much. Somewhat New Jersey. Go to the stretch side. Summit, New Jersey. All right. Here's the one I'm talking to my stretch ologist. I love that they call themselves that. And as we thought about it, I said, for example, you know, I mean, you've got a friend who gets married, they have a baby. And there's no question this is an ugly baby, right? Here's our baby. What do you think? So you go through those, you'd say, it's an ugly baby. Is that true? Yes. Is it necessary? No. And no. Of course not. Say things like, wow, that's a baby. And I think that so often, whether it's because we can do things anonymously on social media, we're just in sound bites everywhere we go. We can say something that's cutting and cruel and drop the mic and walk away.

"The fucking album, but. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we all. Yeah, it's on the buy yellow brick road. If the fucking look that up, you should know that. I should know that. Since yellow brick road is one of my favorite songs, back to back off to two songs off that album. See what other songs are on that album. I think those are the only two. And again, the thing about Elton John's albums is. He when he had hits on him, there were a lot of them. But this one had 17 tracks. Everybody yellow brick road had 17 tracks, so he was fucking full boat. This came out in 73. This was probably his, I would say, his greatest solo album. It had a candle in the wind, Benny and the jets. Goodbye yellow brick road. Saturday night's all right for fighting. Plus live favorites of funeral for a friend and love lies bleeding and harmony. Harmony is a good song. I didn't even think of that. I don't know if that would be in my top 5. Maybe that might that might be 6 or 7. But goodbye yellow brick road was a slim and album. That was his launch. That album just launched him into the next stratosphere. And then. Number one, number one. On my list is. The. I can now I'm having difficulty. Going on there. One of those nights, and for the podcast listen, it's just bare with me. Bear with me for a second. This is live. You're going to get it live. Yeah, my number one song from Elton John is someone saved my life tonight. Like I referenced earlier off captain fantastic in the Brown dirt cowboy. Not cowboys. Say cowboys, which is a great album cover, by the way, too. He had some pretty good album covers. Goodbye, yellow brick road was a pretty cool cool album cover. Let's see. Elton was not the best looking guy. On the block, I'll tell you that. I mean, better look at the Joe Jackson, who is a fucking face for radio, but Elton Elton wasn't I guess for the 70s. He did all right for himself. Let's see where are we at? So that was my top 5. Number 5 was Mona Lisa and mad hatters. Number four, sorry seems to be the hottest word. Number three, goodbye, yellow brick road, number two, Benny and the jets. And again, another song, I just never turned it off when I hear it. Even when it's halfway through the song. It's just never turn it off. And number one, someone saved my life tonight, evidently someone saved my life tonight is it's about him when he was younger and he was famous. And the back then wasn't really the paparazzi, it was though he had magazines following him around. He became ultra famous so everyone wanted to know, who's he dating? Who's he dating? That shit. Well, they had set up what was going to be an arranged marriage for him. Evidently, the record company was behind it. In any God forbid, back then, he said he was gay, and that would have fucked everything up in 73, 74, 75, so a friend of his called him. Said fuck them. Fuck that. You don't have to do it. Don't do it. Just fucking tell him though. Because he was evidently caught to plating suicide because he just couldn't, he couldn't live that huge lie. That would have been a fucking. Titanic fucking lie to keep in back then. The news people weren't, they weren't as aggressive as they are today or as the paparazzi was of the 90s when they just became fucking animals. But they were still aggressive. They were still aggressive back then. So he basically told them though I'm not going to do it and they did a work around. a work around. And yeah, then he wrote the song someone saved my life tonight. Yes, sir. So what else do we have on the list here? While I wait for the luda come back, because I have lined up, I have concerts, a to Z constant a to Z. Did I fill the blanks? Did I fill them all? I think I did. I think I did. So, what the hell? Let me start and then Lou can play catch up. We'll get his last two Elton Johns on. If he ever makes it back, and if he does it, that's okay too. So a I've seen. And I'm not going to name every group I've seen. Just kind of the groups that came to mind, so starting off with a, and a can actually cover a and B, but the first one, I need a bacon. And I saw the alarm. I saw the alum. But I put a knee to baker for us because that was and she was touring with the one and only speaking of David Bowie's young Americans, Anita was touring with the one and only Luther Vandross. The fat Luther Vandross, which is the best loot of andros. But yeah, she was touring with him. I saw them at the Boston guns. I used to work there. So I got myself Jim Hurley, Phil Kelly, and Joe Mack, Joe McDonald, got us in, we definitely stuck out in the crowd. So I'm going to say about that, but it was a great show. And at one point, we walked backstage. We somehow ended up backstage. I guess, because I worked there. I worked at the Boston guns. I worked canine security outside. So I kind of do my way around there. We ended up backstage and I think we would drink in their drinks and their booze and we were just kind of like, all right, let's get out of here. We get ready to head into the city. And I think Joe Mack,

"William Shatner's version of rock a man? Who hasn't? And who wants to again? I think you need to see it once. To see it at least once. Beyond the preposterous and the bizarre. All right, what's your number four? Number four is from captain fantastic and a brand cowboy writing. Writing. Really? I've always liked that song. It's hard driven. Wow. Johnson, but it's clean guitar. It's a very almost kind of jazz jazzy guitar. It seems to me about their partnership Bernie Taupin and Elton unless you're using a metaphor for another relationship. Well, we still be writing and approaching years, but it's very much a great guitar. So I don't know if that's the, that was the original core band that he worked with up until that point. Great band, by the way. The Elton John band. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's a very clean guitar. It's a very melodic song. Not reggae like, but it's almost island dean in a kind of way, but that's an audible song for him, but I always liked it. Island, the unlike island girl. Yes, very much unlike, yeah. That's when he lost me then rocket the westies. I got it for Chris and I'm like, oh, man, okay. In Santa bring this one back. But I like the outside the box call. I like that. Outside the box, right? And not one of the common not one of his better known songs, right? No, and my others are pretty well known. I never had every album, but you know, they're great songs, but that was just one noise stuck out. All right. Stuck in my head. My number four is sorry seems to be the hottest word. Interesting. Just love that song, man. It's just a heavy song. That's going more to wait. Later 70s, maybe? Yeah. That is off of. The sandwich by the blue moves. Okay. 76. 76, yeah. Yeah. I don't know if that's a top and John competition, 'cause I think at one point, I think going into the 80s, he did other things with Tim Rice and other writers, but they got back again. It's Bernie Taupin. Yeah, yeah. What a writer. Yeah, you know, they had a unique way of doing things. He would write the lyrics. No, he would he would write the lyrics and send them to John Elton John would put the lyrics to music. Yeah. Which is kind of backwards. Isn't it usually the music and then you kind of add the lyrics to beat and so how difficult would that be to put these lyrics to music? If you use that to set the tone in the rhyming rhythm structure, they're using you have a piece of music. Fit the words according to me, but interesting. This guy is that I've seen that like Bono. He'll hear say it's a beautiful day. And they just kind of mumble and then they throw out these little one lines and then they kind of piece it together. It's a beautiful day. You're writing to the music, make it fit to the music. So how fucking brilliant was Elton John to be able to take lyrics and then write the music around the world. that's the inspiration. Probably the theme of the language and stuff. I mean, there's a lot of great language here. You read some of these lyrics aside. They read great, you know? You know, I love rock and roll by Joan Jeff, you know, read it by itself, you know, you need the music to it. It'll just be rather simple. Simple things, you know, but like those were everybody's like, probably in a prose or a poetry. And I think that probably explains why Elton John, if you think about it, Elton John has, in some of his songs, some of the fucking hottest lyrics to understand what he's saying. Perfect example, Saturday night's all right for fighting. Right? Yeah. Try to follow those lyrics. He spits him out so fast in certain points. Right, right. Then you just have to look at the lyric sheet. A rocket man. I never fucking got the burning on the fuels. Right? Others said vagabond or something. No, no, it's not. I'm like for a lot of lyrics sometimes. It sounds more like a sound than the actual burning up the fumes forever long or something like that. But if you listen to his lyrics on those songs, maybe the earliest songs, some of them like, what the fuck did he just say? But it sounds great. Yeah. Sounds great. It fits, but Saturday night's all right for fighting is one of those songs. Go listen to it again and just try to, if you haven't already, 45 years later. Yeah, right? I still some of them, I can't figure them out until I go and read them, and then I'm like, I know my old man's a junkie and a barrel full of monkeys and my old lady she don't care. I know that part. Yeah, it's just a little execute with a handful of grease in her hair. That took me a long time to figure that one out. That's like, what is it, Pink Floyd, dirty girl? I need a dirty woman. I need a daddy. I can figure out what the fuck he was saying there for the longest time. I need to get her. Another well-known is a mellencamp's Jack and Diane. Here now the hair to Diane won't run out of shady tree. I was like, I don't know what he's saying there. I don't think I want to know this one. Tom Petty. I actually, the greatest of all, I guess, is Manfred Mann. Blinded by the light. I guess that is the epitome of misquoting words wrapped up like a douche. Fucking hate that version. I hate it. They stopped me or my high school that came out like, what the fuck? I mean, did he say douche just to say, you know? Just to say douche. You know, come on. You can be vulgar, just be creative about it, you know? Yeah, yeah. All right, what's your number? What made him, what made that the earth band as opposed to the Manfred man band? What made it earthy? Ecological themes? I don't know. If I were just gradable biodegradable douches, even before then, yeah, before it's time he was ahead of his time. That meant for men was ahead of his time. Number three. Number three, yeah. Country comfort from tumbleweed connection. Wow. I love that song. Really going deep. Deep cuts. Influenced by the band a lot. I mean, the song levon was inspired by levon helm's name alone. That early 70s tumbleweed connection. I don't wanna hear that. Right. I was almost like, it's almost like an American sound. Great arrangement on that too. I'm going straight up well-known song with number three number two will also remember one might be no, it's a known song. So with no deep cuts for me. Number three is goodbye yellow brick road. It's just a hard song not to like. Yeah. Yeah. It's not a song that I turn off when I hear it on the radio. All these years later. If you look at his albums, you'll see,

"Well, I have started listening to I've always loved Billy Joel, as you know, and our listeners know, because my mom would play it for me in the car, I'm so grateful to her for that. So I listened to Billy Joel a fair amount. I've started listening to Elton John and my favorite Elton John song is I guess that's why they call it the blues. Are you familiar with that one? No. Oh my gosh, I should play it for you. I love it. Wait, what is this? Beautiful. Oh, it's Elton John. This is boom. This is benign. This benign. Yeah, this is not a representation of what people listen to. Watch number two. Well, I can't make any of the lyrics. Right. Well, exactly. No. No. Well, anyway. Harry Styles than evanescence. One Republican was Evan and then Blackpink. Okay, all right, we're good. We're good. You should, okay, oh my gosh, I have a song in mind that a lot of people listen to, but I actually can't even say the words of it because it is so bad. Well, generally, Kanye West. Well, generally speaking, public cursing is a substitute for thought.

Why You Have to Watch Apple TV's "Blackbird"
"I didn't want to buckle and subscribe to Apple TV. I'm sick of paying $10, 8 $7, $12 for all these different streaming services. I said, the hell with Apple, I'm not doing it, but I did because I wanted to see two shows I really heard a lot about. One is a series called blackbird. With taron edgerton Ray Liotta in his last role, in which he so great in, but I have to say he looked very ill in this series. And Paul Walter Hauser, this kid, this guy Hauser, doesn't get enough credit as an actor. He plays a serial killer in a way I've yet to see be done. I mean, the choices he makes are incredible. You might have seen him play the security guard Richard Jewell, the instant hero after foiling the bomb attack on the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. He was amazing in that. But on this series, he's, I mean, this guy is otherworldly. He's one of those actors. He's very heavy. He can only play certain roles, but Jesus Christ, he's he's so good. Doesn't get enough credit. Plays a serial killer in a way I've yet to see be done. The choices he makes are incredible. This is a guy who comes from a comedic background. But he steals every scene he's in with Taron Egerton. And that's not easy because edgerton, especially in this film, is really great as well. Don't base your opinion on him for how he portrayed Elton John in Rocketman. Dump. It's night and day. And to add to all of this, this series is based on a true story about a guy who gets a ten year prison sentence for selling cocaine, but then he's offered to have his sentence greatly reduced if he can become friends with this serial killer and make him admit to him all the girls he killed and where the bodies are buried. The feds took a shot, they tried something in a bag of tricks to see if this kid was a star football player in high school could go to prison and befriend this serial killer and have him open up to him. It's great. Great. I love outside the box thinking like that. Many people thought it was a crazy idea. It was wrong, you can't do this. Fantastic.

"He even asked the question why was I handed a load? But at the end of the day, he's also the boss. So it's a weird situation where he will have to answer some questions, but he won't be, I believe he won't be charged in her death for 5 years. There will be a civil lawsuit maybe here and that will be against him as the executive producer because the boss, you're in charge of a safe environment, it ultimately comes down to you and that's what the executive producer means. We talk about that term a lot on the show. We should be clear. It means the boss. So think of the boss of your company. That's the executive producer in movie terms or TV terms which brings us to our poll question of the day. Ali called when his income solo after the shooting on the set should Alex, be charged. Oh, go vote on our Twitter page. Naughty nice rather, Facebook page is new to yourself, but be sure to check back tomorrow to hear your results. Garrett, what are you working on there? So before we talk about Ed Sheeran and Elton John getting into what you would think a friendly feud. I want to ask one more question about the Alec Baldwin. So he is the executive producer of the movie. Do you think they continue on with the movie? I think the movie is gone and sources are telling me they would not be surprised if Alec does not set foot on a set ever again. His that shook at the moment, the thought of him going back to work ever is probably not going to happen. Now time changes things you do here. Of course, but I just other type at the moment that that movie is gone and I would be surprised if we see him make a movie for a very, very long time. All right, so back to other stories. So Elton John called out his friend Ed Sheeran and said he has a big effing FF big mouth. I had a phrase it properly because I didn't want to say the actual. I want to say the real word. So the two have a Christmas duet coming out, right? And I don't know if Elton John's gonna get pissed at me for saying this, but we'll find out. I wouldn't mind if he called me that. He was sworn to secrecy and then the big mouth here and goes to the Netherlands and says, hey, we have a Christmas morning coming out. We haven't finished it yet. We still have work to get done. There's no release date. We know it's a Christmas song. So it literally could come out. We are in that season where, right before Halloween, that's where the floodgates of Christmas music opens up Mariah Carey sits back and says, try to compete with me. But on top of that too, as of yesterday, Ed Sheeran posted on Instagram that he has to pull back from doing a lot of promotion and from finishing this song with Elton John because he tested positive for COVID. Now, edge here and has been doing a lot, a lot, a lot of traveling over the last month and a half. And interesting things that will come out from this. He has SNL in two weeks.

AJ Benza Recalls His Encounter at the Amityville Horror House
"I recall that night, the me and my buddies were parked outside that house. And we sat there, 5 years to the night and time of the murders and just quietly listened to the minimal amount of noise emanating from the neighborhood. Maybe there was the occasional whoosh of a car passing ocean having you at two 30 in the morning. Maybe the coups and chirps of some night birds, the blow birds, they called it because of the many nights I'd heard them while I was wide awake and way too high with no sleep in sight when I was in my 30s and had my relationship with cocaine. But this was different. Because I wasn't high, per se. I mean, we all felt a little good, but that was it. We were at the giggling stage, which at 17 years old was everything. I still remember some of the last we had that night, some 40 years later. So anyhow, we're sitting there. Some of us are doubters, some of us are believers, but we could all agree that what happened that night was unexplainable. As we sat and watched in quiet, suddenly, and without warning, Ronnie kinnear's Elton John's 8 track tape slammed into place and the song funeral for a friend began to play at a decibel. We were never used to playing any song at that level. Now the beginning of that song has a lot is a long instrumental for a good four minutes and change and it gets scary music to say the least don't listen to it. When it comes on full blast, we all jump and scream. And Ronnie, can we lift his hands to show that he had nothing to do with it? Of course he didn't. I sat right next to him. I saw the a tac a track gets sucked into that machine, an inch or so. Without the aid of anybody's hands. I don't know what that means or how the hell that happened, but I watched it with my own eyes. And that's not all that happened. Ronnie had no control of the HVAC player. He couldn't inject the cassette. He couldn't even lower the ear bending volume. I'm not saying the lyrics to that song had anything to do with death or being frightened, but I can tell you, after that song came on so loud, we banged a U turn across someone's lawn and ripped it up as we high talented back to west Iceland.

We're going to get to the album in a second which has something for everybody literally. Everybody that loves music. It's just got everything in it. We'll get to that in a minute. But i was thinking about the last two years and i know that you had been on your farewell tour and you would have been in the midst of it a while back so had covert not happened. Would you have retired now. I probably might become a new of it. Yes because we came to a big hole in australia on march the seventh of two thousand and twenty on so it. Yeah probably would have been done and dusted. Nearly nearly i would have finished in november in america. Yeah i was thinking about things that i was going to do on my vacation over the summer i was going to horseback. Rives gonna cook. I was gonna play tennis at least learn how to play better. All these things right. I got to none of it. But what other things that you think you will. You will learn or want to do or just occupy your space when you do down. Well during lockdown david boies saccharine elijah. We became so close. And i think when something like this happens and it doesn't happen very often in your life. It's a very rare thing with the kobe thing. It just stopped everything I think if you don't come out of it revised reevaluating what you want out of life. Then you missed the opportunity and you know we stayed in this house here for about sixteen months. I'm we go closer than ever. And i thought you know i'm i'm really looking forward to finishing the tour obvious having such a great time But when i do finish. I just want to spend more with my children. And david and i'll be seventy six by the time i finish And so your priorities change on. You know. I think you know. I always make music always records on our wisdom radio shows and i would always be involved in new artists and stuff like that but i just would like to Take my sons on proper holiday In a while. I'm not fidgeting and see the places where. I rarely see up into india twice. But i haven't really seen it. I'd like to go to the grand canyon. I've never seen a flown over about thousand times. It's just the important things in my life. That i want to do and i think you know at that time. I think i've had enough applause enough acclaim. Live on my call really do a better show that i'm finishing up on so you know it some. It's a good way to go out and You know. I'm i'm not going to be unhappy. I'm going to be very happy very happy to be doing different things many ideas or go to musicals written albums to make a music to do and autism to help. So i'm not going to be. I'm busy but i just want to spend that time more time with my family. And i i've been in the back of a bind since i was seventeen and the most incredible life and i've seen the most incredible things met the most incredible people and had so much luck with my career You know i'm. I'm so blessed in that in that respect that It's time maybe to shift my attention to my family. So the creative elton. John will still be in full swing but on your terms when you want to do it. I don't want to schlep anymore. I really don't. I've had enough traveling. I remember when i was living in atlanta or the people.

"Though one fact when song downloadable Not necessarily i tunes bud wine. Why aren't they are very very elton. John song that. I never downloaded really interested over and over and over again to the point where i hated it i gave it a few years and now of course it is number two on my list. I mean it's just a gorgeous song rewritten Four prentice when she passed away. But you know it's his love letter to marilyn monroe and it was anybody who knows the story of norma. Jean knows it is a tragic story. Yeah i loved the qatar. This that kind of thing that david johnson does the deal. I love that. This is my favorite guitar and pretty much all of his songs. Cd of the does the does the gig knowing knowing the drug addiction for marilyn monroe on her side And knowing if you've seen rocket man. Or if. You know anything about elton. John's biography He was leading down this path. I mean he didn't have people bossing them around so much except for that one dickhead from the movie Yeah you know which one But he started gained.

"But this one is the closest got to what they were trying to do and i i just like it and it's it's funny because he's singing about seeing someone again finding love again and maybe you just happen out of the blue none of this in the movie which is really funny like it's so they gave elton the script to it will be that it's literally like none of this none of this like We had everything and then we left it and we flew away and happens in the movie. It's about two friends. But this song seems to be about to mothers. So alvin kevin kline and though the kevin kline and kind brana and Rosie perez and rosie perez so very interesting and amman asante the villain. Who actually my father-in-law instincts. Best movies ever in. Very my father-in-law knows of iman asante from piano lessons. So very interesting Anyway so this is an honorable mention. Only because i would want an album. Put out songs from rhode eldorado by undrawn where he basically saying all the songs and it was like songs cut from the from the movie etc etc So that's why. This is a honorable mention. But i do love the song i have on occasion driven around in my car with this playing and just missing along for a good hour. So this is funny. I don't judge you less because of that. All right so we're gonna get into the countdown now. So we're going to start with mr. Chris mr chris's on number ten is gonna come your way Chris give me the radio to get you like spotify premium or here advertised the back that do not sponsor the everything you never needed to know.

"Years. We're talking about someone saved my life tonight Off of the captain fantastic and the brown dirt cowboy album now. Why would this make it on your honorable mention. It doesn't seem to be like an outlier won't because it's that close all the songs that so i love all the sides. I have on my top ten list. For specific reasons. Some of them are emotional. Some of them are personal. Some of them are. What have you This shock exit out because The situation he's singing about. I can kind of understand that you know i. I had a close run in with death. But i wasn't about to marry someone before that happened so i so that's the one part that kind of i can't get behind but It's just not close. It's close but i love men who had a close close encounter with death married a woman in one point in his life. Yeah but on the other the other is to is that i actually liked the song up until the very end when they start doing so save someone saves someone say it just goes on forever and it. Just you know couple times. That's fine but after a while. I just get bored with it. So it's how. I kind of feel about benny and the jets as allowed on joined songs that and we should say most of these songs were renowned john music lyrics by bernie taupin. Who's there is a frequent collaborator. Bernie taupin who some songs. When elton john has been asked what what it's about something like take me to the pilot he said i have no idea. It's just random. Words put on a piece of paper that sound. Good to bernie so hooked town. John had said that he the lyrics are in. I in the music is written afterwards. And you can tell because a lot of these seem you know the the the the stances along and then he adds like a little bit in there. So when interesting. I just saw an interview with eric mccormack. Who's will from will and grace on morton show where he and his wife became friends with. Elton husband and They invited him over to the apartment and His husband for its. I'm you so they by david over to the department. And he said oh. Yeah we'll be there and afterwards eric like wait. He just said we. I think i think yeltsin dawn come into our house and they had a brand new piano. And so david elton come over. And eric's like you're going to have to christen it. Nelson's like fine. What would you like to hear. And eric being kinda like didn't want to be normal. He's like oh. I can't do rocket man or anything like that. That's too easy. So he picked like random songs from the yellow brick road album and elton. John just looks at him and goes fuck off. I don't remember that one. That's so funny just thought it was a cute story as like Even elton can't remember everything that he did. Well he's had multiple albums. There's a great just to gone to one more tangent as a great interview Billy joel has with stephen colbert and stephen. Colbert brings up the fact that billy joel only did twelve albums and that he stopped in one thousand nine hundred four and so he says undrawn says. You should make more albums and billy joel. Tortsen says that's interesting. I've told ellen he should make less was he's a funny buddy. Oh he's alcohol if he hasn't yet but he's funny he's a funny man is a fundamental. Okay so and i only have two honorable. Mentions this time. So i won't have a million of them. Second on will mention. And i'll explain why. This is an honorable mention. And why i said i this.

You wish You get the orchestra with those bells and that would be good. That is actually from a musical code. Lizzy the musical i. I'm assuming it's the one who killed her family. With an axe Forty eh with forty whacks. By the way it's not the one who flips our hair back those all. no wait. That's lizardo lizardo lizardo orleans. Lizotte sometime or lizzie. mcguire It's into question but anyway. This is a chris back. Great to see you. i'm overtired. Hi everybody for having me back. of course. this is a crisis first. Time doing one of these note. It's your second doing a top ten list. What am i talking about. Christmas for Jim steinman What was the other one. Jim steinman we talked about the birdcage. You son of a bitch love songs. That's why can't feel the love tonight. Well that won't be on our list. But guess but chris already Given the hint on what. We're talking about tonight we're going to be talking about mr elton. John that's right. Mr reginald himself Welcome sir. Elton john These are going to be the top ten out. John songs Both my list and christmas list And we're gonna start pretty right and we'll go right into it. Awesome honorable mentions now. Christopher not really not forgetting how this show works did not get no no. I know exactly how those shows work. Got the top ten but you're not getting on mentions no how dare you i have to surprise you know find so i either that or just you know strip on zoom but only you would get that surprise. I mean we can do that too. I have no problem with that Anyway so mr chris. why don't you give me your honorable. Mentions for top for on john. Lewis so this. These are the songs that almost made the list. Not for reasons. So christopher i believe you specific told me to keep the disney stuff out of this one so i guess the my honorable mention this and of course being of the lion king. But it's not. Can you feel the love tonight. Because that's it's a good song. It's a really good song. It was way overplayed and you can hear it in in grocery stores. No i'm going with the one. That's that's the to- chappie assed Song of that movie. And of course. I'm referring to. I just can't wait to became extinct pick. That's a very interesting pick. You get rowan atkinson singing in. And then later on john oliver's so you know you gotta low gotta love that and it's it's my favorite and yeah it's it's my favorite of that film and i just didn't want to go with this. There's so many slow songs but that one that one was at the top of my list for for disney elton. John son's. I think you and i differ on the new live action lion king. I hate that thing. I will say i liked it. I just said that. John oliver turned to sing in the second lion king. I'm just saying no misconstrue. What i'm saying i'm saying you're you replace growing atkinson withdrawn oliver. There's no competition it's rowan atkinson. It's always been rowing atkinson if he mentions on his show quite frequently that he has worked with beyond say so yeah that was his claim to fame not the fact that he has a weekly show on. Hbo that is a emmy does. No it was the fact that in an entertainment weekly photo shoot john. Oliver is right next to beyond say what's the same thing that Gordon does with every celebrity. So you know you know you always need that one talk show host who's gonna suck the dick of every slope of that comes in. But i digress high. Refrain from saying star fucker. But you know if you're gonna go that route. I'm just saying i hate james corden to the degree i really do. You didn't see the prom audits today. I hate him in that. It was considering the fact considering the fact that he is straight as an arrow. And he's playing. I mean there are million. Gave gay people who could have played that role way better than he of I'm just saying elton john sir. Elton john you go ari firestone that played. That's one as law. Actually oh i get a call ryan murphy. I'll be right there speaking of scarf right anyway. all right. Do you have another honorable mention there. I have two more. How many do. I have to so go ahead. And one didn't make it on the list. Even though it's one of my favorites of his it is not technically his. It's belongs to the who That would be pinball wizard from their album. Tommy nineteen seventy five films. Starring and margaret and roger daltry because he thought he could act and jack nicholson because he thought he could sing And then used again in the nineteen nineties Broadway musical rock opera. The who's tommy. But he they cast him for the pinball wizard in the film and he did a great job. Well i mean comparatively based on If you watch that acid trip of movie i think in in order of cameos. I it was tina turner. And then elton john and then everybody else. Who's actually starring in that film. So yes so pinball. Wizard is my my second mention and then my third Because i wasn't sure if we were doing duets but of course the most famous duet is he. And kiki dee don't go breaking my heart and if vote for those of you who just think that kiki dee was that woman who sang with elton john in that song i implore you to please go and listen to her song. I've got the music in me. It is an absolute wonderful i. It's on my My workout playlist. It's just it's so upbeat. It's got that gospel feel and it was recently used in zoe's extraordinary playlist which is where i found it. I like i. She started singing. The song and i was like well. I definitely have to spotify. This found it. And it was kiki dee and yeah so. That's my tangent. Well no that's good tangent. I mean i'm going to go on a tangent right now and say First of all the first cameo in the. Who's tommy was eric clapton I meant i meant an order of their talent. Tina turner as the acid queen. Come on. I mean that was good casting. I think she's the only one besides own john that actually doesn't danger job with what she's given Alan was just. I and i believe this was before he got so so it it absolutely expands and makes i really short. Everyone in that production crew was doing some lsd so it is a visually stunning film. Except for the beings. Coming out of the television and margaret swimming in a really folks this this movie exists. I'm telling you i'm telling you. I saw that when i was thirteen because i saw on the tv guide lists the. Who's tommy. and i'm like oh my god. I love that album. I love that tape. I taped it. I watched back. And i was like. What am i watching. And i have. I hadn't even started experimenting with the who was a genus yet. So almost like it's like if stanley kubrick had lost all of his money and was begged to do this film for cocaine. I it's it's just an stanley kubrick had nothing to do with this film. I'm just saying the visual aspects of this film reminding something that kubrick asked directed or cocaine when we don't know had cocaine we don't know that all right so So good good choices around Funny enough my wife. Who is not a on. John fans never been around john fan Was asking about our list and one song is that is not on our either. Alice which is very surprising is bennie and the jets which she thought would have been on one of our list but i i honestly thought it'd be on yours..
