0:36
We're on the road with Hanson Dick Manitoba.
0:38
We're in Chicago, Illinois.
0:40
We're loading in at a place called the Lyres Club in San Francisco and downtown Chicago.
0:45
And this is downtown Illinois.
0:48
Last night we played Milwaukee, I was decent crowd.
0:53
Joe Paul showed up with his fiancée, Gina, Jeff Zellapagno, a little bit of those showed up last night.
1:02
I can't pronounce it.
1:03
The two Jeffs who I cannot pronounce, the pronounce their last name, showed up last night.
1:07
Jeff Zellapagno's and Jeff Steelelecky, both showed up.
1:13
It was great to see.
1:14
It was a nice surprise.
1:15
I was not told that they were coming but they showed up and I was really happy to see those guys.
1:22
As soon as I start talking, these fucking assholes start playing guitar.
1:26
I'm going to try to walk outside.
1:30
Say hey to the strains, merch, purse, and high strains.
1:35
Say hi to the Rock and Roll Geeks show.
1:37
Hello Rock and Roll Geeks.
1:39
How's the tour going for you so far?
1:40
It's going excellent.
1:42
Although I don't think I had enough coffee today.
1:44
We're at Long Drive tomorrow.
1:45
What time do you guys leave and have to leave tomorrow?
1:49
I haven't figured it out.
1:51
I'm not looking forward to you.
1:52
At least you guys get to go on earlier tonight.
1:57
You definitely need more coffee.
2:03
Here's the handsome Dick Manitoba merch person.
2:17
That's merch girl in the world.
2:20
Hello, you rock and roll geeks up there.
2:26
Because these two beautiful women...
2:45
And Jopalak brought me.
2:48
A nice cash value for value donation.
2:51
He also brought me a 30 pack of Takate's.
2:56
We went out and had some Mexican food.
2:59
He also treated us to Mexican.
3:02
It's always nice to see Jopalak shot with value for value.
3:06
In my opinion, we sucked.
3:09
I could not get my head into a rock and roll space.
3:14
And everything I felt I was doing.
3:17
So I'm being honest with you friends.
3:20
I felt like everything I was doing was forced.
3:23
I just wasn't feeling it from the audience.
3:29
He didn't eat so he was...
3:31
He was Richard without any food.
3:37
We stayed at an Indian casino last night at the Sato Atami Hotel in India.
3:43
You can see an Indian casino, whatever.
3:46
Dave Franco, friend of the show, picked me up this morning.
3:53
And it drove us to Chicago.
3:55
It drove me to Chicago.
3:57
He brought me a case of...
4:01
What is this beer he brought me?
4:03
Oh, it's really, really fucking good.
4:09
I don't know, I can't...
4:10
I don't have a picture of me.
4:11
Man, it's good beer.
4:12
Thank you, Dave Franco.
4:14
He also gave me a book about the history of Detroit Rock'n'Roll.
4:20
And a couple of magazines.
4:23
I bought this in Jardin era.
4:26
Which is like a pickle vegetable thing that's...
4:30
They specialize in Chicago here.
4:33
Took me to a nice Italian deli.
4:36
We had a nice drive.
4:38
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say what he does for a living.
4:40
But I think it's pretty secretive.
4:43
It's nice seeing him.
4:44
He also gave me a catch value for Taiwanese donations.
4:47
So thank you, Dave Franco.
4:48
It was nice to see him.
4:50
And here we are in Chicago.
4:53
Hopefully it's going to be good.
4:55
We found out today that...
4:57
Ross the Boss is no longer with us.
5:00
Rest in peace, Ross the Boss.
5:02
That really sucked me.
5:04
It was just announced like...
5:06
Less than a month ago that he had ALS,
5:08
Lou Gehrig's disease.
5:11
Hug your grandma's friends.
5:13
Come out and see handsome dick man at Noble while you can.
5:16
He might be the last dictator standing.
5:23
Richard did eat today.
5:24
So hopefully it's going to be a good show.
5:27
I had an Italian beef sandwich,
5:30
which is what supposedly is specialized in Chicago.
5:33
I think it's fucking great.
5:37
Well, here we are at the Liars Club.
5:41
This is a nice punk rock dive bar.
5:44
We got a lot of friends coming tonight.
5:48
We got some friends coming tonight.
5:50
And hopefully it'll be good.
5:51
And maybe some people if they hear the news of Ross the Boss.
5:55
Maybe they'll come in and want to hear some dicktakers too.
5:57
Let's come out tonight and pay tribute to the great Ross the Boss.
6:01
One of the greatest guitar players that was about time.
6:07
Alright, that's it friends.
6:08
I'm going to go in and sound check.
6:11
Let's leave you with some dicktakers.
6:14
I've been playing ginger, but you know,
6:19
we got to make an exception tonight for Ross the Boss.
6:26
I'll talk to you tomorrow friends.
6:37
I'll talk to you tomorrow.
6:45
I've fallen to my knees and looked to the sky.
6:50
Who will save rock and roll?
7:00
It's not here today.
7:02
Who will say rock and roll?
7:09
Every protest center, every detour slayer
7:14
Ever put Cuckstooler sounds his soul
7:33
My generation, is that the salvation?
7:38
Who will say rock and roll?
7:45
I told the Sturgis, covered with bruises
7:50
Who will say rock and roll?
7:54
I have been mercenaries, three Cuckstooler listeners
8:02
So's your side, so's it where?
8:25
I told the Sturgis, 67, something's done, a blitz ahead of him
8:30
I wish such a cover, never took the band to play
8:36
My generation, is that the salvation?
8:46
Who will say rock and roll?
9:16
It's a rock and roll geek train wreck
