00:00:00 - 00:00:14 | Speaker 1:

Shall we play a game? Come on, honey, let's play the match game.

00:00:17 - 00:00:42 | Speaker 2:

All righty. Here we are with another edition of the TVTL Summer Games. It's a Wednesday. Now, Andrew, as I've described to the listeners By the way, I'm Luke Burbank, that's Andrew Welsh over there This is our yearly summer break where we record some content in advance So that we can take a little bit of time off, at least I am Andrew, are you taking any time off actually during this or are you just working away?

00:00:42 - 00:00:59 | Speaker 1:

I don't think I'm taking any actual time off By the time I get these shows kind of all posted, though It'll hopefully be a more flexible week for me But I'm sure I'm in on the usual 8pm meetings And who knows, maybe I'm still working on my self-evaluation at this point, much to the disdain of my employers.

00:01:00 - 00:01:03 | Speaker 2:

Are you doing any kind of a vacation-y thing this summer? Are you guys going anywhere?

00:01:04 - 00:02:07 | Speaker 1:

No, you know, we sort of have a policy that you don't leave Seattle during the most beautiful months, you know, or this region. So, I mean, Veeves and I are going to be taking, like, I think, a long weekend to go hiking someplace called Packwood. Have you been to Packwood? No, Packwood, Washington? Yeah, so I think that we're going to be going there at some point. But that's just kind of a long weekend thing. But no, and then our vacation. I'm taking some real vacation. I'm probably around the time of the Winter Games. We're actually going to hit Hawaii in January. So that's our big vacation. Nice. Well, what game are we going to be playing today? Luke, do you remember a – well, it was probably the last Winter Games, I want to say. Marissa in Maryland gave us a Michael McDonald quiz. In fact, I administered this quiz to you. I hate using the word administer there. I need a better verb. But I gave the quiz to you, and it was really difficult. I can't remember all the ins and outs of it, but I believe it was a very difficult quiz that you kind of struggled with. Does that ring a bell?

00:02:08 - 00:02:16 | Speaker 2:

Yes. Probably some of it was me overestimating my Michael McDonald knowledge, and some of it may have been that it was just a challenging quiz.

00:02:16 - 00:03:47 | Speaker 1:

Yes, and I do believe it was a challenging quiz. It doesn't mean that that was a bad quiz. You know, as long as there's good content out there. There are no bad quizzes, Andrea. That's right. Only bad contestants. Are you going by Andrea or Andrew these days? Either one, really. I prefer not to be called Andy if possible. So here's what Marissa says. This is a Michael McDonald quiz take two. Here are ten short clips of Michael McDonald singing on songs in which he is the guest artist. So none of these are actual Michael McDonald songs, but you will hear Michael McDonald singing. You get two points if you can name the song. You get two more points if you can guess the artist. If you are struggling, Luke, you may ask for a hint. Marissa has supplied hints for each of these. The hint is always the same. It will be the most famous song that the artist has ever released, according to Marissa. So let's just say, I'm going to use an example here that I assume is not on the quiz, because I assume that Michael McDonald never did a song with Bob Dylan. But let's say he did. I'm going to play you a clip of a song, and you are supposed to guess that you get two points if you name that it's a Bob Dylan song. You get two more points if you can name the actual song. If you need a hint, I can actually – I would maybe say – what's the most famous Bob Dylan song? I am so choking here. Like a rolling stone? Like a rolling stone. I would say like a rolling stone, and you'd be like, ah, then it's Bob Dylan, and then you get one point. And if you can then pull the name of the song, you'd get one more point. Does that make sense? Okay, so yes.

00:03:47 - 00:03:54 | Speaker 2:

So it's Michael McDonald appearing on other people's songs. Yes. So I've got to figure out who the artist is and what the song is.

00:03:54 - 00:04:03 | Speaker 1:

Yes, exactly. Two points for each one of those if you can do it without a hint. One point for each one of those if I have to give you the hint provided by Marissa and Marilyn.

00:04:03 - 00:04:51 | Speaker 2:

I'm glad they don't do that on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me because I always need a hint. I mean, every once in a blue moon. Oh, by the way, I think I told you. Again, this is airing. You're hearing this as the TBTL listener in late July, but as we were recording this, I was on Wait Wait just a couple of weeks ago, and I actually won, which is very rare for me, and I guess in Portland I heard that they had some problems with the feed. Maybe it was a fill-in on the weekend or something. So they kept playing. They kept coming back, and I think they had the wrong channel on the satellite going or something, and they basically couldn't get to the end of the show because they were – playing the wrong thing which meant when they restarted wait wait it was out of sync and so nobody in portland even knew that i won but let me just tell you portland residents i did win

00:04:51 - 00:05:00 | Speaker 1:

wow there is a wow there's a um cab driver an uber driver in portland who would have been very excited to hear you win on that weekend she gave

00:05:00 - 00:05:04 | Speaker 3:

me a ride uh to your apartment and was freaking out when she found out i was going to meet you

00:05:04 - 00:05:12 | Speaker 2:

the host of live wire i know that was very um uh that made me feel very uh what's the opposite of

00:05:12 - 00:05:31 | Speaker 3:

shame less shame no that's why that's why i made that story up you're so good to me all right i will get into i'm almost too good to you okay so we're not going to take a break we're going to jump right in here okay do you want to hear mystery clip number one remember you're going to try to guess who's you're going to hear michael mcdonald but who's whose song is he

00:05:31 - 00:05:52 | Speaker 1:

singing on and what's the name of the song oh my gosh any ideas um what does he say i'm supposed

00:05:52 - 00:06:06 | Speaker 2:

to tell you the year it was released 1983 1983 see the problem is that just sounds like a Michael McDonald song to me but that's not the game so 1983 and it can't be a Doobie Brothers song either

00:06:06 - 00:06:39 | Speaker 3:

that was also his band I don't think so I would guess that that would be I'm scrolling through here I think that would be pretty tricky yeah I think Marissa did say song I streamlined Marissa's email a little bit. I know another thing is there won't be any repeated artists on here. And I can tell you none of these are Doobie Brothers either. So this is somebody else's song. I've heard you mention this song before. I'd never heard of this song until you kind of use it as a punchline sometimes. Here, let me and cruelly so. No. Here, take another listen. You're not cruel. I'm just joking, but take it.

00:06:39 - 00:06:45 | Speaker 1:

You can count on it, brother Cause we're all just finding our way

00:06:45 - 00:07:33 | Speaker 3:

So if you can guess the original artist right now You can get two points for that Name of the song, two points Or I can give you a hint Can I get a hint? I know that's going to cost me a point So again, the hint is always going to be the same This musician's most well-known hit According to Marissa is I Don't Have the Heart I Don't Have the Heart That would be I Don't Have the Answer Indeed you don't I'm going to play it one more time, and then I'm just going to give it to you, Luke. Oop, that's the wrong one. How about this? Okay, the name of the song. Okay, yep. Oh, wait, the song is I Don't Have the Heart? Did I just say that?

00:07:33 - 00:07:34 | Speaker 2:

Yes, you did.

00:07:34 - 00:07:43 | Speaker 3:

Oh, no, I Don't Have the Heart was the hint. I'm sorry. I'm switching between a whole bunch of tabs here. I Don't Have the Heart is this musician's most famous song, but you have to guess what this song is.

00:07:44 - 00:08:03 | Speaker 2:

So, in other words, this musician did a song called I Don't Have the Heart. Exactly. Remember my really illustrative Bob Dylan clue before? Sure. Exactly. Okay. I Don't Have the Heart. Man, I don't know who did that song, so I don't know who – can you give me a hint, any other hints about this person? What does her name rhyme with?

00:08:08 - 00:08:08 | Speaker 3:

Bingram.

00:08:09 - 00:08:32 | Speaker 2:

Oh, James Ingram. It is James Ingram. I wondered if it was – because I know he did some stuff with James Ingram. I almost guessed that. I was going to go – I was toggling between Peebo Bryson and James Ingram in my mind. It's Yamo Be There. Wait. Hold on. Yamo Be There is not a Michael McDonald song?

00:08:32 - 00:08:46 | Speaker 3:

It's James Ingram and Michael McDonald. Well, okay. I'm looking at the record here. Technically, the actual photo is of the 45, and it's a James Ingram song with Michael McDonald.

00:08:48 - 00:08:58 | Speaker 2:

Okay, well, now that's, okay. Wow. Okay, I'm getting this now. I thought that sounded like Yamo B there, but I was like, there's no way because that's just a Michael McDonald song. So it's technically a James Ingram song.

00:08:58 - 00:09:49 | Speaker 3:

Okay, I'm going to give you one point for that. You had a possible four points, but I feel like things are a little confusing. I've been saying some confusing things. you now fully understand the game so James Ingram's most popular hit is probably I Don't Have the Heart that was the hint so okay let's move on I'm giving you one out of four possibles there this is song number two take a listen to this Okay, that was your mystery song number two. Okay, sounds like it's a female singer. I cannot confirm.

00:09:49 - 00:09:50 | Speaker 2:

Was that just somebody else singing along?

00:09:50 - 00:10:11 | Speaker 3:

It was somebody else in there. It was not a female singer. I will give you that. Okay, so the singer, okay, this, let's see. Man, I've never heard. that song um it turns out that there was a whole period of the 80s where well i have heard yamo be there but it turns out there's a whole period of the 80s where michael mcdonald was popping up on all kinds of records and i was not listening to them because i was not allowed to listen to

00:10:11 - 00:10:36 | Speaker 2:

non-christian music what is the person's most famous song okay here you go now you're getting it footloose oh kenny logins okay there's one that's one point right there and then you know

00:10:36 - 00:10:44 | Speaker 3:

the name of this song it is let's see it is the theme song from caddyshack it is not it's called

00:10:44 - 00:10:45 | Speaker 2:

This Is It

00:10:45 - 00:10:57 | Speaker 1:

You recognize it now that it's kind of at the

00:10:57 - 00:11:11 | Speaker 3:

A little bit I kind of like it as a song I mean that whole thing of yacht rock You know kind of became this running joke And people were ironically Enjoying this kind of music But I unironically dig that stuff Like that's a nice sound to my ears

00:11:11 - 00:11:38 | Speaker 2:

You know I don't You think that yacht rock was ironic i don't think so i think people really kind of got back i i do not like yacht rock i i grew up to me it reminds me of being in the back of like my mom's oldsmobile and i i just never liked that sound but when the resurgence of yacht rock came i mean obviously some people really kind of got into it and some people are just extra about things but i don't think that they were like this is so bad i'm pretending to like it i think people legitimately got into yacht rock again

00:11:38 - 00:12:02 | Speaker 3:

Don't you? I guess so. But I guess I just mean that it was like you said, it was it was a sort of an easy go to like punchline people dressing up, you know, like there was all those videos going around where like Michael McDonnell people are impersonating a young Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins like on boats and stuff. I don't know. I just I genuinely like that music. And and I'm just saying that was a good tune.

00:12:02 - 00:12:07 | Speaker 2:

Yeah. All right. Here's song number three. Why don't we take a break first? Let's take a quick break.

00:12:07 - 00:13:03 | Speaker 3:

I'm going to pull myself together because I feel like so far I'm really flailing on this. Well, you got two points. It's not nothing. Yeah, but I mean, that first one was a real kind of a mercy point. Marissa, are you ready to put together Michael McDonald take three for next summer? We may need it because I am still having trouble, but I'm going to say that's on me. Let's take a quick break and then we come back and we've got seven. It's ten total, right? It's ten total. Yep. Seven more Michael McDonald tunes to hear. So stay with us. Michael McDonald, Sweet Freedom. Hey! Four points.

00:13:04 - 00:13:11 | Speaker 2:

Nice job. Congratulations. Nailed it. Nailed it. What's the year? Oh, I just stopped the music.

00:13:11 - 00:13:22 | Speaker 3:

Sorry. 1984 from the running scared. I'm guessing on the 84 part. But, you know, if I'm ever called upon to guess something in the 80s, I just go to 1984 for some reason. I don't know why.

00:13:23 - 00:13:28 | Speaker 2:

Well, I'll bet you a certain era of the 80s. Like, when do you think the Batman movie came out?

00:13:29 - 00:13:29 | Speaker 3:

1984.

00:13:32 - 00:14:04 | Speaker 2:

Like, for me, it's like, I know what you mean. there's a certain there's a certain era of the 80s that i think of as 84 but i also have a really for some reason like and maybe this is just because i was obsessed with certain albums at a at a certain time but i was talking to genevieve the other day and somehow i used b-52's cosmic thing as a 1989 album as a reference point i mean it gets a little bit exactly gets a little bit close to the schubert dip joke and like i don't know why i associate 89 with batman and cosmic things so readily, but I do.

00:14:04 - 00:14:10 | Speaker 3:

Well, back to the Michael McDonald quiz that I'm flailing on somewhat. I have two points out of possible eight points so far.

00:14:11 - 00:14:28 | Speaker 2:

Yes. Now, here's the deal. We might want to start thinking about carrying this over to tomorrow's show as well, because we're only on song three out of ten. But let's just keep that in the back of our heads as we go along here. Here is your third mystery clip.

00:14:31 - 00:14:38 | Speaker 1:

Oh, I believe in love Now here I say

00:14:38 - 00:14:40 | Speaker 2:

What do you got?

00:14:40 - 00:14:42 | Speaker 3:

Is that Endless Love? Is that Donna Summer?

00:14:44 - 00:14:53 | Speaker 2:

Let me see here. No, you're wrong on both counts, but I want to give you another shot at this before we make that your final answer.

00:14:53 - 00:16:24 | Speaker 1:

Well, I believe in love Now here I say Is that Dionne Warwick? I'm going to give you a year here. I'm going to say it's not Dionne Warwick, and I'm going to say that this year is 1986. Okay. What's the person's most famous song? Going down for one point apiece here with the clue. The hint is Lady Marmalade. Oh, who did the original? Let's see. Wasn't that Chic? Wasn't Sheik the band that did Lady Marmalade, the original? Unless this person was in Sheik. They probably were. I think you're wrong. What's their name? Okay, you're giving up on that. It's Patti LaBelle. Patti LaBelle! Patti LaBelle. Dang it. And do you want to even... That was ringing a Patti LaBelle. Do you even want to try for the song title? Let's see here. Can you play the clip one more time? Yep, I can play the clip one more time, which is right here. I believe in love, in love, now here I stand. Is it Now Here I Stand by Patti LaBelle featuring Michael McDonald? Unfortunately, this song is called On My Own. Oh! On my own, one more time.

00:16:25 - 00:16:28 | Unknown:

I'm on my own

00:16:28 - 00:19:28 | Speaker 1:

I totally know this song Yeah Yeah, this is a tough quiz I'm enjoying it By the way, of course it was Patti LaBelle who did Lady Marmalade It was not chic, I don't know why I thought that was chic And is it pronounced Marmalade? My apologies I for some reason thought it was It's pronounced, we are Lady Marmalade Oh, it's pronounced Marmalade If you're Christina Aguilera Oh, okay. And you're in the reboot. Again, I'm learning so much this summer. I do know that song. Now, that and Yama Beauty, those are both songs that I actually have heard of. So that's good. That's good. At least these are songs that I'm aware existed. I'm going to give you the year on this one before I play the clip because maybe that'll help kind of put you there. This is 1976, okay? And this is song clip number four. i never knew you you were a roller skater oh yeah yeah this one you got it i don't know the name of the song but that's definitely has to be old donald fegan and his band steely dan it is indeed steely dan that's two points right there that's two points right there i'm getting excited can you get the name of the song i could only tell you like two steely dan songs and one is black cow it's not that okay and then the other is lady marmalade hey it is it is no here's the It's a long build-up. It's called... Whoa, language, Marissa. The name of the song is Everything You Did by Steely Dan. I do not know that song, but I'm kind of digging it. What does that say about me that I've, for the last few years, when I hear a Steely Dan song, I'm not mad at it. You know, I never got into Steely Dan, but again, this just isn't my type of music. It's all that, maybe that, Steely Dan, would you say that, that's not Yacht Rock adjacent, right? Because Steely Dan is more like kind of, don't they get kind of arty and noodley and stuff? Yeah, maybe you – the listeners are going to get so mad. I may be kind of progressive rock in a way, although that's more like yes and, you know, sticks or something. We're really progressive. But whatever Steely Dan's style is, I have to say that, like, I'm kind of vibing with it. Plus, I just like that I have, in fact, met the Ricky from Ricky Don't Lose That Number. Oh, right. Can you give me a real thumbnail version of that story?

00:19:28 - 00:20:08 | Speaker 1:

She lives – her name is Ricky DuCornay, and she's an artist and a writer, and she lives in Port Townsend. And we used to see her at things, and we'd sometimes go have dinner at her house and hang. And then one day, she didn't even mention it. Someone casually mentioned, oh, you know, Ricky is the Ricky from Ricky Don't Lose That Number. Oh, here, Steely Dan is categorized as rock music. Oh, okay. Lending elements of rock, jazz, Latin, music, R&B, and blues. I don't think it's prog rock at all. I think prog rock is a very different thing. But they do have long songs, so maybe that's why we thought that. All right, this is. song number five on the list of ten. I'm going to give you the year again. It is 1980. Here is your clue.

00:20:14 - 00:20:27 | Speaker 2:

Wow. This is just a real swoop and poop from old Michael McD. He's popped in for me. He's popped in for me.

00:20:27 - 00:20:29 | Speaker 4:

Such a long way to go.

00:20:30 - 00:20:47 | Speaker 2:

Was it And he was like I'm done That's it Where's my check Okay I have no idea What's the most famous song From that singer Sailing Oh Christopher Cross Christopher Cross Indeed That is one point For you there Such a long way to go

00:20:47 - 00:21:01 | Speaker 1:

From Lady Marmalade 2 From Electric Boogaloo Is the obvious Go-to joke there The name of the song My friend Luke Burbank Is Ride Like the Wind

00:21:01 - 00:21:25 | Speaker 4:

I've heard this song Okay, there you go

00:21:25 - 00:21:26 | Speaker 1:

Christopher Cross, Ride Like the Wind

00:21:26 - 00:22:12 | Speaker 2:

I've heard that Christopher Cross I don't know if this is true, but I've heard it said – maybe it was on The Stern Show – that Christopher Cross had this big hit career, but he wasn't a sort of conventionally attractive dude. He didn't quite look like I guess people thought his voice sort of gave them one picture in their mind. And at this time, you've got to remember, you have Kenny Loggins. You have Michael McDonald, a.k.a. White Lightning. You've got like these sort of classically attractive people. And then Christopher Cross was a little outside of that. And some people were saying that kind of held his career back Because he had hit songs But then when people would see him playing And this is in the era maybe where music videos Were a bigger driver of things Or somehow how a musician looked Played a bigger role in people's I don't know, assessment of the music

00:22:12 - 00:22:57 | Speaker 1:

And did Christopher Cross Was he originally a member Of another more famous band Or was he always a solo guy For some reason Again, this is all such a blind spot for me it seems like all of these guys from Michael McDonald and so forth you mentioned who is it not Dan Fogarty the guy from Steely Dan what's his name you just mentioned Donald Fagan yeah I just sort of feel like all these a lot of these guys were originally part of a band and then you know became solo artists but not Christopher Cross alright decision time Luke here we are about a half hour into this show maybe not we actually stopped down for some time didn't we should we keep going with the quiz Yes, we can do this. Okay, we can do this. Let's keep going. Then we're going to get them all in here.

00:22:57 - 00:23:01 | Speaker 2:

I can get them wrong. You can tell me the real answer, and then everybody can go about their life.

00:23:01 - 00:23:18 | Speaker 1:

I should say, so we're five into this. There's a possible four points for each. So far, you've gotten five points out of an available 20. But I'm not saying that to neg you. There is, and I should have mentioned this earlier. That was terrible. That was like a cat. I know.

00:23:18 - 00:23:20 | Speaker 2:

It was a cat doing an impression of me doing an impression of Owen Wilson.

00:23:21 - 00:24:03 | Speaker 1:

Doing an impression of Bill Clinton. There is a bonus question at the end that can win you five more points. So that's pretty respectable. All right. Here is clue number six. Now, that's a very familiar voice, isn't it? That sounds like Willie Nelson to me. It does sound like Willie Nelson to me as well and to Marissa and to the rest of the world. That's two points right there, assuming I'm getting this right. Now, is there any chance you know that song? The year it was released, Luke, 2006. Whoa.

00:24:05 - 00:24:35 | Speaker 2:

I don't know the name of that song. I do know that Willie Nelson was a radio DJ in Vancouver, Washington, not far from where I sit right now, Andrew. And I feel like the city of Vancouver needs to make more hay with that. Yeah, put up signs. yeah I mean that's like that's a cool story that he was before he wrote crazy before he did any of that stuff he was uh like a I think like an afternoon dj with aspirations of making his own music and I believe he actually wrote a couple of those famous songs while he was still in

00:24:35 - 00:24:42 | Speaker 1:

Vancouver and long after that in 2006 he released this song called whatever happened to peace on

00:24:42 - 00:25:00 | Speaker 3:

earth everything we've been told from our birth hell they won't lie to me not on my own damn tv or how much is a liar's word and what

00:25:00 - 00:25:08 | Speaker 1:

There you go.

00:25:08 - 00:25:13 | Speaker 3:

Now, what if I would have not recognized Willie Nelson? What would you have said is his most famous song?

00:25:13 - 00:25:33 | Speaker 2:

I would have given you Marissa's clue that is on the road again. OK, yeah, that's a good call. That's a pretty good call. OK. All right. Well, I got like two points on two points. That's not bad. This is clue number seven. This is another modern one, Luke. This is from the year. The year was 2017.

00:25:38 - 00:25:41 | Speaker 1:

You got that?

00:25:42 - 00:25:49 | Speaker 3:

Yes. Ladies and gentlemen, Michael McDonald. Is this one of those Lonely Island songs?

00:25:49 - 00:25:56 | Speaker 2:

No. No. I'm going to play it for you one more time, and then I'm going to give you a hint of my own that is not going to affect your pointage.

00:25:59 - 00:26:07 | Speaker 3:

Oh, is this a Thundercat song?

00:26:07 - 00:26:24 | Speaker 2:

Oh, indeed it is. My clue is going to be that I believe you've interviewed him, and you certainly introduced me to the music and idea of Thundercat. So that's two points right there. Let me mark that down in the old ledger. Any chance you know the name of that song?

00:26:24 - 00:26:27 | Speaker 3:

I don't think I know, unless it's Lady Marmalade 3.

00:26:27 - 00:27:07 | Speaker 2:

It is, which I actually think, not unlike Home Alone, I actually think it's probably the best version of that. It's a hot take. The name of the song is Show You the Way. you know who else is on this who kenny logins wow wow i gotta i gotta stop doing that i know

00:27:07 - 00:27:18 | Speaker 3:

once you get into it the problem is the problem with a owen wilson impression habit is once you get started with it there's a tendency to push it as far as you can go um i do love that thundercat

00:27:18 - 00:28:08 | Speaker 2:

man i'll tell you what he's got some real real chill vibes going and a unique character too i of his style i'm not so much i i don't know much by him but um definitely um definitely a force to be reckoned with uh three more here is a number clue number eight is that aretha franklin is it let me go to the other page it is indeed coming out of the gate Two more points. Luke, this is a tale of two halves. Indeed. The year it was released was 1991. I should have told you that. The hint was going to be respect. You didn't even need it. Any chance, you know, the name of that song, which I'm going to play for you again.

00:28:08 - 00:28:20 | Speaker 1:

I feel like I'm going to know this song

00:28:20 - 00:28:24 | Speaker 3:

When you tell me the answer, I'm going to be mad Because I feel like this was kind of a hit

00:28:24 - 00:28:35 | Speaker 2:

I don't want you to be mad See, now I'm in a pickle Because I don't want you to be mad The name of the song, Luke, is Ever Changing Times by Aretha Franklin I'm going to play a little bit more of this

00:28:35 - 00:28:52 | Speaker 1:

I see the clock up on the wall, but it don't bother me at all. It's ever-changing time, it's ever-changing. I see the clock up on the wall.

00:28:52 - 00:28:58 | Speaker 3:

It's kind of a banger. I don't actually know this song. Yeah, it's not something I'd be familiar with.

00:28:58 - 00:29:14 | Speaker 2:

As somebody who's surrounded by clocks, I find it to be intriguing content. Are you threatened, or do you feel seen by it, is the question. A little of both. Uh-huh. Let me see. Did I give you your two points? I think I gave you your two points for that already. Hey, congratulations. I really like to see this turning around. This is some exciting times.

00:29:14 - 00:29:19 | Speaker 3:

Well, I'm doing better on the other artists. I'm doing equally bad on what the name of the song is.

00:29:19 - 00:29:26 | Speaker 2:

But all right, let's go. Two more. Okay, two more. And then a quick bonus question that could get you five more points. Here's clue number nine.

00:29:26 - 00:29:33 | Speaker 1:

You were here by me to end this misery.

00:29:34 - 00:29:46 | Speaker 3:

Oh, wow. Okay. Wow. Okay. Wow. I know the song. I want a girl to call my own. Dream Lover. That would be the song Dream Lover. It is not the song. And I'm thinking, is that, it's not the song? No.

00:29:47 - 00:30:06 | Speaker 2:

Really? Is that Sheryl Crow? It is not Sheryl Crow. Is that Bonnie Raitt? It is Bonnie Raitt. And I did not give you a clue. It took you a while to get there. I'm giving you two points for Bonnie Raitt. Now, listen to this again, because it took me a second. Is it a cover? It is definitely a cover. It is a cover song. So it's not an original Bonnie Raitt song. Take a listen to this.

00:30:06 - 00:30:13 | Speaker 1:

You were here by me To endless misery

00:30:13 - 00:30:28 | Speaker 2:

Keep singing it in your head. Keep singing it in your head. Is it the... Yes, it is. It might be on the McDonald's tapes that we're building this all around.

00:30:28 - 00:30:33 | Speaker 3:

See, I think that song always turns into Dream Lover in my mind, but it's not.

00:30:33 - 00:30:45 | Speaker 2:

Nope. Think McDonald's tapes. Think of Lil' Andy listening to an oldie. Sure. Oh, is Dream Lover an oldie, too? I didn't realize that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was thinking of Mariah Carey.

00:30:45 - 00:30:47 | Speaker 3:

I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone.

00:30:47 - 00:30:49 | Speaker 2:

Oh, nope, nope, nope, nope. But it is.

00:30:49 - 00:30:53 | Speaker 3:

Wah, wah, wah, wah. You got that. She went away.

00:30:53 - 00:31:05 | Speaker 2:

And I wonder where she will say. It is Runaway. We're giving you all the points. We're giving you all the goddamn points. I don't care. We need to clean sleep in one of these. That's right.

00:31:05 - 00:31:07 | Speaker 3:

Take that, Michael McDonald quiz part two.

00:31:10 - 00:31:21 | Speaker 1:

And I wonder if you will stay my little runaway.

00:31:22 - 00:32:05 | Speaker 2:

There you have it, Luke Burbank. You love it. I like that. Okay, one more musical clue here. This is hint number 10. Well, that was a super short one. Okay. Okay. Wow. That was it? That's it. One more time. What's the year? Oh, good call. Sorry about that. I'm not trying to cut you off at the knees. It's 1979. 1979 is the year. Oh, this is a tough one. It's not an unknown artist.

00:32:11 - 00:32:23 | Speaker 3:

I'm trying to piece it together by the background music, and it sounds vaguely like the Bee Gees to me. No. No. Okay. Well, that's why I didn't say Bee Gees. No, that's why you did it. Exactly. Because I'm just thinking out loud until I say the right answer. Exactly.

00:32:23 - 00:32:28 | Speaker 2:

At which point you give me the point. Well, just start listing every musician you can think of.

00:32:29 - 00:32:31 | Speaker 3:

Okay. And here's a hint. Hattie LaBelle.

00:32:31 - 00:32:35 | Speaker 2:

Don't keep it limited to American musicians. How about that as a little clue?

00:32:35 - 00:32:45 | Speaker 3:

How about that as a little clue? So, like, also Canadian musicians? Is it the Tragically Hip? Is it Rick? Oh, oh, oh, he is hilarious, dog. Who is Rick Moranis?

00:32:47 - 00:32:48 | Speaker 2:

It's Drake.

00:32:50 - 00:32:51 | Speaker 3:

Okay, okay.

00:32:51 - 00:33:07 | Speaker 2:

But see, the Bee Gees are from Australia. Let's see. Oh, Abba. Is it Abba? It's not Abba. I still have a hint I can give you. You would knock the other two down to a point each. Honestly, I'm resting up for the five-pointer anyway. Okay, the hint is Benny and the Jets. Benny!

00:33:08 - 00:33:08 | Speaker 1:

Benny!

00:33:09 - 00:34:37 | Speaker 2:

So it's Elton John? It is Elton John. Good job. And the song is You Were Only Using Me. And the song is Victim of Love. wow this is so 1979 actually this feels this feels like i'm looking at the album cover the cover looks more like i would have guessed 1983 peak 1983 but i think elton john was just ahead of the time um okay so right now luke out of a possible 40 points you have i'm gonna do some counting here eight 16 oh so okay but if you i'm gonna need this five points if you get this five points you don't win but you get over 50 right am i doing my math right so that's better than anyone expected me to do you can do this considering how this whole thing started For an extra five bonus points, Luke, can you guess which one of these songs we just talked about won Michael McDonald a Grammy? Oh, I bet you the one with Patti LaBelle. I mean, we did ten of them. Maybe we'll throw some other ideas out there. I mean, I just don't want you to lock into anything.

00:34:37 - 00:34:39 | Speaker 3:

So not the Patti LaBelle song.

00:34:39 - 00:34:40 | Speaker 2:

I mean, I'm not saying it's not.

00:34:40 - 00:34:59 | Speaker 3:

I'd just like you to maybe think about it. But you're just saying there's a lot of options. As I like to joke with contestants on Wait, Wait, I like to say, trust your fears when they start to get wishy-washy. Like if they start to hesitate and they've been on the wrong question, they start to reconsider. I'm like, yeah, go with that impulse. Let's see here.

00:35:00 - 00:35:09 | Speaker 2:

Okay, so we had the Patti LaBelle song, which you said it's not. The Aretha Franklin song, which I'd never heard of. Oh, Yamo Be There.

00:35:09 - 00:35:10 | Speaker 3:

Yamo Be There!

00:35:11 - 00:35:12 | Speaker 2:

Yes! You know what?

00:35:12 - 00:35:14 | Speaker 1:

That's an extra five points.

00:35:14 - 00:35:39 | Speaker 2:

We Yamo ended up where we Yamo started. Nice. That's a good ending for that. Now, what song are we going to go out with, though? And by the way, Marissa, thank you so much for putting that together. And even though I did pretty bad, it was actually a really fun quiz. And I bet you anything the listeners out there who do know more about Michael McDonald than me were having a really good time with that. So, Marissa, thank you very much for putting all that work in.

00:35:39 - 00:36:26 | Speaker 1:

There was a lot of – can I just quickly say here, like, so she had the isolated tracks in SoundCloud for me. And then did you even notice when we were going to play the actual big reveal, she had done this timestamp in YouTube. So that when I – wow. When I clicked on the link, it took you right to the part you wanted to hear. A lot of work went into that. It was really good, Marissa. I know you put this one together because you were trying to avenge yourself after last year, but I don't want you to feel so good about yourself that you don't offer us something in the Winter Games as well. So congratulations. Yes. Now get to work. All right, Luke, do you want to know what song off of the McDonald's Rockin' Gold cassette tapes we are going out with today? Michael McDonald's Rockin' cassette tape?

00:36:26 - 00:36:32 | Speaker 2:

Oh, my God. How did we not make that connection the entire episode?

00:36:32 - 00:36:52 | Speaker 1:

How did we not? All right. Yes, it is. But it is not a Michael McDonald song. It is a song by the Teddy Bears. I don't know if this is the original version of the song or not. It's the one that I know the best. It's to know him is to love him, or as I like to call it, to know, know, know him is to love, love, love him by the band of the Teddy Bears. So let's go out with this, if you'll allow it. All right.

00:36:53 - 00:37:10 | Speaker 2:

That's how we'll wrap. I will absolutely allow it. Thanks again, Marissa, for sending in that quiz. Thanks for listening, everybody. We're going to be back here tomorrow with more TBTL for you. So please do tune on in for that. Until then, have a great Wednesday. Take care of yourselves. And please remember, no mountain too tall. And good luck to all. Love, love, love him.

00:37:11 - 00:37:15 | Unknown:

And I do. And I do. And I do.

00:37:15 - 00:37:52 | Speaker 3:

And I do. And I do. I'd be good to him. I'd bring love to him. Everyone says there'll come a day When I'll walk alongside of him Oh, yes, yes, to know him Is to love, love, love him And I do And I do, and I do, and I do, and I do, and I do, and I do Power out!
