My name is Michael Butler.
0:23
Thanks a lot for joining me.
0:24

0:25
Today is Friday, November or November, March 28, 2026, 6.43 pm when I'm recording this.
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.
2:52
He also brought me a 30 pack of Takate's.
2:57
We went out and had some Mexican food.
3:00
He also treated us to Mexican.
3:03
It's always nice to see Jopalak shot with value for value.
3:08
In my opinion, we sucked.
3:11
I could not get my head into a rock and roll space.
3:15
And everything I felt I was doing.
3:18
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 from the audience.
3:28
He didn't eat so he was...
3:31
He was Richard without any food.
3:36
We stayed at an Indian casino last night at the Sato Atami Hotel in Indian casino.
3:46
Dave Franco, friend of the show,
3:48
picked me up this morning or new.
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.
4:11
I don't have a picture of me.
4:12
Man, it's good beer.
4:13
Thank you, Dave Franco.
4:14
He also gave me a book about the history of Detroit Rock and Roll.
4:21
And a couple of magazines.
4:23
I bought this in Jardin era, which is like a pickle vegetable thing
4:30
that 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 less than a month ago that he had ALS
5:08
and Lou Gehrig's disease.
5:09
And just like that, boom.
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, which is what...
5:31
supposedly 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 and hopefully it'll be good.
5:50
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...
6:18
You know, we got to make an exception tonight for Ross the Boss.
6:26
I'll talk to you tomorrow, friends.
7:07
Every day, singer, every guitar player,
7:14
ever put track, singer, sounds a soul.
7:35
Is that the salvation? Who will ever see it rockin' roll?
7:42
I don't know the sturgis, covered with bruises
7:50
Who will ever see it rockin' roll?
7:54
I've been mercenaries, three called double-wish-signaries
8:02
Who's our side? Who's it well?
8:33
I choose first, sixty-seven, stop the time of winter heaven
8:39
I wish such a cover, never told the band to play
8:45
My generation is not the salvation, so who will ever see it?
8:53
Who will ever see it rockin' roll?
9:02
It's a rockin' roll, geek train wreck
