Monkeywrench Radio broadcasts again before, during and after the show on 90.7 FM. Every San Diego show seems to be a homecoming show for Ed and this show is no different, complete with a post-show cast of local San Diego Musicians and former DJs. The post-show goes for just under two-and-a-half hours! Joey Ramone is upbeat and very funny, and Ed is very reminiscent of tour, as they are broadcasting from inside the venue again and you can hear the crew dismantling the rigging in the background. San Diego station 91X picks up and broadcasts the signal, prompting James to acknowledge "Our pirate signal is being pirated". It is know that the 91X signal reached as far north as San Jose.

James	Oh, yeah? (cross talk) I'll tell you what , I'll, I'll take you up on that. (Deep Voice:) 91 X!
DJ	They had to change their name, too. They were originally called Blink, now it's Blink 182. Because there is some techno band out of, uh, Wales or something.
James	Yeah, yeah. Same ol' fuckin stuff. Oh, sorry ... same old stuff. (laughs because he was probably told not to cuss). You're listening to Monkeywrench radio and, um, I got another band from Seattle, WA. You see, uh, on one side of this room is all the Seattle people, and on the other side of this room is all the San Diego people. You know what? All the, all the Seattle people are much bigger and I think we're gonna have like a full-on brawl, or basketball game, or something weird like that.
DJ	What do you mean by that? (unintelligible) Meaning 619 is in the house!
James	Word up. This is "Stay in Your House". 14th and Jefferson. If you live in Seattle, you know what that means.

James	James welcomes The Ramones That was Jazz ... Jazz Lee Olstin from, uh, Seattle, WA. And, uh, that is definitely one of the coolest CD's I have, uh, heard in a really, really long time. Hey! Check this shit out, um, a couple of people just stepped into our little, uh, make-shift studio. Uh, so uh, who are you guys and what do you want?
CJ	Ha, ha, this is CJ from the Ramones.
James	That was CJ.
Joey	This is Joey from the Ramones. We want the world and we want it now.
James	(laughter) You guys have that (Joey: we want the airwaves), yeah the airwaves, you got that too. So what's going on? What did you think of the show tonight.
CJ	I thought it was great. I thought it was very exciting and, uh, and, I thought the crowd was better tonight, you know, for all around. And, uh, the kids are really into it and they seem a bit hipper than yesterday (laughter). And, uh, and it was a really good vibe. Good ... Just a good time.
James	Yeah, I totally know, um, well, it was like the last show of the tour and that kind of thing and everybody kinda ... they were into that kind of energy. You could tell the crowd was like a writhing animal (Joey: yeah, yeah). Yeah, and they were definitely more responsive than the crowd you had last night.
Joey	Yeah, I think last night we had maybe one fan (laughter).
James	Yeah, the guys from Bad Religion call that the one-hand, hand clap.
Joey	Yeah, the only fan last night was ... the only real fan in the audience was Eddie. (laughter)
CJ	And you got the Tour Manager.
Joey	I don't know if he's a fan, though.
James	Well, you know. You pay him, he's a fan.
Joey	He's a paid fan.
James	So what is going on with the Ramones here man? I, I, I hear all these rumors that you guys maybe taking a really long break
Joey	A long hiatus.
CJ	Yeah we um, we're gonna probably most likely retire sometime in March of next year, but it's not definitely March, um, since we announced that we are gonna retire we've had offers and stuff, so it might go past March. Who knows? We're hopin' for March. Not that we aren't liking it, but, um, you have to ... you have to kinda draw the line, you gotta have a cutoff point, so that's what we're shootin' for.
James	Right. So it's ... but it's definitely been a long road for you guys.
Joey	Uh, yeah well. I mean, you know we broke a lot of territory and broke a lot of ground for a lot of the younger musicians of today and uh, a lot of people, you know? Even like some of the old farts like Rolling Stones, we made them try a little harder.
James	(laughter) Yeah, no doubt, no doubt about that. I mean, uh, I don't, I don't know anybody that hasn't, hasn't listened to you guys since you know since at least the '80s. You know, it's the Ramones are just the shit, you always have been. And, uh, I've been, I've been totally honored to go on the road with you guys and uh, and watch you every night. I saw you eleven times when I was growin' up. I mean, you guys were the only real punk rock band that would come to Austin, TX and we, and uh, that, that to me was the ultimate thing. Was going to Raul's and watching the Ramones.
Joey	Austin was always a great town.
James	Yeah, I saw, I saw you guys at Raul's, and I saw you guys at Clubfoot, and then I thought ... I think I saw you at Liberty Lunch once as well. I mean, but that was ... that was definitely...
CJ	You're showing your age.
James	Ah, shit! (laughter) Ah, you had to say that.
Joey	You've grown up well.
CJ	You look good for your age, though.
Joey	A regular youngster
James	So, um, so I got all this music strung out all over the place, you want to hear something?
Joey	Do you have any Freebird or what?
CJ	You have Hater?
James	I'm ashamed to say no.
CJ	Uhhh. Right through the Heart. What else could we do?
James	I do not have Hater.
Joey	Got any Stooges?
James	I do. (in the background: No, I don't) I got this weird 1977 live Iggy Pop.
Joey	Oh yeah? How the hell is it?
James	It sucks. (laughter and cross talk)
CJ	All right, we can skip it.
Joey	Sorry, Iggy in real power, it was over.
James	I'm feeling totally lame here guys, you gotta give me (laughter)... Did I mention ....
CJ	How about some Tom Waits?
James	Tom Waits, already have that queued up.
CJ	Right on.
James	"Telephone Call to Istanbul".
CJ	Sounds good.
James	Right on.

song	Super Unloader - Unknown song
James	James and Joey intro Lou Reed Alright, that was uh, yeah, GONG! (someone in back: Sorry about that!) San Diego's own Super Unloader, but we're gonna move on from that. I think we're gonna get over that pretty quick. Um, so we're gonna listen to a, a little older Lou Reed. You know anything about this tune?
Joey	Uh, well it was on, it was originally on Transformer, and that was one of my favorites, um, I guess it was his second solo album from Lou Reed. And I always liked this song ... I always liked this song so.
song	Lou Reed - Unknown Song Lou Reed - Unknown Song
James	James, Joey and CJ Sorry Joey (stops music, laughter)
Joey	It sounded a little weird. I thought it was improvised. I thought it was one of those improvisions (sic).
Mike	Improvisations.
Joey	Improvisations.
James	Yeah, Lou was making it up as we went.
Mike	It's the third track, right?
Joey	No, it's not on this side.
James	Oh! It's not on this side (talk in background garbled). Oh, OK. So, see the great thing about Monkeywrench radio is that we don't have any real guidelines, and so we can do things like that. That's OK. Uh, this is, uh, 90.7 FM. I think it's being picked up by another radio station. That, that kinda freaks me out. Kinda gives me the creeps. But, uh.
Joey	It's been pirated.
James	Our pirate signal is being pirated. (laughter) I guess that's the essence of the whole thing. Um, what are you doing? You playing something else?
Mike	Bad Religion
James	Your playing another Bad Religion song? (??? says something) We just played that fuckin thing.
Mike	Oh, shit, I'm way behind.
James	Oh well.
CJ	How about a song by Fugazi?
James	Um, yeah, it so happens I have some Fugazi right here in my hand - Steady Diet of Nothing.
Joey	That's a good thing.
James	Got any favorites off of that CJ?
CJ	Uh, no. "Latin Roots".
James	What song is it?
CJ	It's the fifth track.
James	The fifth track.
CJ	The fifth track, "Latin Roots". Probably my favorite song on the record.
James	OK. This is CJ's favorite song off this record.
Song	Fugazi - Latin Roots Fugazi - "Latin Roots"
James	James discusses local scene OK, alright, that was ... that was some boys that are coming in town on Friday. Um, you got some ... you got some stuff to talk to us about here, Mike?
Mike	Well, because you guys aren't from San Diego you don't know that we have, this is the week in hell in San Diego. We have the two Pearl Jam shows, the second one just finished, and then we've got on Thursday Sonic Youth at Soma. On Friday, its's Fugazi. On Saturday it'll be Sublime. And on Sunday, Rancid all in a row. And then also, (James: this is the place i guess!) als, Sunday (James: Sky Cries Mary) Sky Cries Mary , November 12th along with Sweet 57, which is Novaselic's new band, and Hovercraft uh, who are, who are also gonna be back ... Hovercraft's gonna be back with Jim Rose Circus Sideshow. But that's Brick By Brick on Sunday which is November 12th, which is what is it called, the old Spirit Club.
James	Yeah, I know jack shit about your town.
Mike	I know jack, too.
James	You know him? He's a good friend of mine.
Mike	When are you gonna set up the next broadcast for Monkeywrench radio? Are you come back here ever?
James	I'm totally gonna come back here. I would really like to do the Fugazi show this Friday, um, and um, Rancid. They're pretty good friends of Eddie's. So, so I, uh, could definitely get, I could...
Mike	Why don't you? I could get you in.
James	Do you have connections or something?
Mike	I have a couple.
James	Oh, dude.
Mike	I know you, I could get you in cause I know you.
James	Uh, well, but can you get me a laminate. I want a laminate (whining).
Mike	I'll get you a laminate (laughter).
James	OK, man, wow. That was easy. I didn't even have to do any sexual ... sexual favors (clapping in background) ("not yet" in background).
James	(laughing) Well, OK, uh well Joey. I think we, uh, I think we did it right this time.
Joey	We solved the problem.
James	Yeah, we solved the problem.
Joey	We flipped it over.
James	So, uh, yeah. We flipped over the Lou Reed album, and lo and behold. Yes, the song that we wanted was on there.
Joey	Yep. there it was. It was underneath. It was just, um, right, yeah. So it's called "A Satellite of Love". It's, um, it's a great song, um different tempo than Fugazi, though.
James	(laughing) Just a little bit.
song	Lou Reed - "A Satellite of Love (Live)"
James	CJ intros Helmet Again, this is uh Monkeywrench radio, and goddamn Lou Reed. He does some really strange versions of songs, man. That thing was what, 40 minutes long?
Joey	He really knows how to distort them.
James	Yeah, (chuckling) no doubt about it. He's a great songwriter.
Joey	He is.
James	So, um, I think we're gonna switch gears a little bit here. Uh, you wanna tell us something about this band that is coming up?.
CJ	Yeah, we're gonna play a track from Helmet. Uh, great New York band. They, uh, I guess they're kind of carrying on the New York hardcore thing. Um, there's a cut off the Meantime album, the fifth track, called "Tuned Out", um, it's a really good album. Well, their latest album anyway. It's called "Betty". Well, it's even better than this album, but for this album this is my favorite track.
song	Helmet - Tuned Out Helmet - "Tuned Out"
James	James and Big Boys Here we are again. This is Monkeywrench radio. Um, right now, uh here's an old Austin band um, from, God I, I, I don't want to say the date because that'll date me again. And CJ will give me shit, but, uh, uh, I don't know if you ever heard these guys. But this is the Big Boys, and uh, um, yeah this is right around the time of Scratch Acid and all the good stuff that was coming out of Austin. Not like that lame shit that's coming out of there now. That's why I moved from there. Any requests off this?
CJ	"Apolitical"?
James	Um, ok how in the fuck do you find it on this? (laughter in background)
CJ	Second song, first side.
James	Second song, first side. Which one is the first side? Is it the one marked "A"?
Joey	"A" is for "anarchy". (laughing)
James	Side one is the A side. It's consensus. Um, it's a second song. OK, you guys talk or something while I'm queueing this up. (Laughter)
unknown	Sure is, dad. Hey, well, I gotta say the Big Boys are one band that has, uh, definitely left a mark on the music scene. Whether not seen or not. If you get what I'm saying, there? But, uh, what Biscuit? Was that the singer? Yeah, Biscuit was the man, right? Definitely. And Tim?
James	Yeah. He's pretty much been in everything. He was in, uh, he was in a band called Cargo Cult. You guys remember Cargo Cult? (Background: yeah, yeah) Yeah, and, uh, shit, he's been in and out of every single Austin band that was cool for, for, forever, but, uh, what is he doing now? He's doing something that's ...
CJ	Does he have a label or something? Or is that, I know (unintelligible).
James	Uh, I don't know. I don't know. I met the guy when he was working in a skateboard shop right next door to Inner Sanctum in Austin, TX.
CJ	Remember the drummer did Rate Band, right?
James	Yes, yes, he's still working with Rate Band. Yeah I know he is. He's gotta be. Do not quote us on any of this because, uh, oviously we don't know our shit. Um, this is, uh, this is the Big Boys.
song	Big Boys - Apolitical Big Boys - "Apolitical"
song	Big Boys - Unknown Song Big Boys - "Unknown Song" - ("Hollywood .. I went swingin")?
James	CJ intros Los Cuzanos That was Austin, TX, circa 1982, with the Big Boys, and, uh, and, uh, yeah. I think, uh, I think shit's about to get real weird around here, so, um, uh, I definitely want to give you guys a number to uh, to our cell phone once again. Uh, it is area code XXX XXX-XXXX, and, uh, you guys take over, man. Um, wait a minute. CJ, what's going on here man?
CJ	Gonna play a track from, um, a recording I'm doing with some friends. It's, uh, hopefully my follow-up to the Ramones after we retire. Um, the name of the band is Los Cuzanos ("The Cousins" in Spanish). Um, and this is, uh, a rough mix of a song that we're gonna put on a French label called Revoco records. This track's called "Go Again".
song	Los Cuzanos - Go Again Los Cuzanos - "Go Again"
Eddie	Eddie and the Ramones Hey, CJ, we'll give you a big hand on that one (clapping and cheers). Very good, very good. Uh, usually this is a very small, small, uh, mini micro-organic radio broadcast. Tonight, it might be a little more mega (Spanish accent) f-a-m-a Baja, Califonia, Meh-hee-co. Uh, what do we have to do here? Uh, phones are ringing here. I don't know if you can hear who it is, let's answer. Monkeywrench radio ... hi. She said, "Hi Eddie". She said "How are you doing?". She wants to thank us, yeah keep going. Oh good, she, OK, ... Kinda a one-sided conversation. Yeah, yeah, uh, cause they can't hear you on the radio. Uh, they just hear me, but boring. OK, well, I guess you're welcome. Uh, I'll thank you, and, uh, hold on a sec. I'll thank everybody for sticking in there. Uh, with our funny band and uh, going through, uh, all the, all the uh, the long processes that it's taken to get the show on. Uh, but you know what? You would've had good opening bands, uh, had we played in Del Mar. Uh, I believe it was Mudhoney and Bad Religion, but, uh, there's, uh, Prince wrote and Sinead emoted "Nothing Compares to U" which I would dedicate that sentence to, uh, the Ramones. And, uh, Joey's sittin' here. Wanna talk a bit?
Joey	You're on.
Eddie	Uh, I heard you did a little, um, I've not read it yet, you did a, uh, you kinda documented the last tour we did.
Joey	Yeah, um, I write for um, Addicted to Noise. It's a very cool magazine on the Internet. Actually got a card in my bag.
Eddie	Yeah, we should read off the slashes and the w-w's
Joey	Yeah, yeah. It's, it's, uh, you know, uh, um, it's like very cool. It's not commercial. And it's, if you're online, you can get it. It's a free service. And, uh, and it's um, I know I've been writing for ir for about 6 months. And, um, so I documented, I kinda do these road reports, uh, life on the road from my perspective.
Eddie	Had we known that before the tour, we would have made you sign something that said you could not mention... (laughing).
Joey	Uh, well I'm curious about your feedback. I mean, I just write about ou guys. I write about everything. I mean, uh, little events. Things. Amusing things. Informative things. Uh, you know, tell me what you think, alright?
Eddie	Is it strange, uh, I know it's been strange for us, is it strange kinda opening?
Joey	Well, last night it was. I think maybe there were three fans in the audience (laughing).
Eddie	Oh, there was me and my friend, Ben.
Joey	I think there was and, um...
unknown	Mike.
Joey	But, um, I guess it was a little weird because, uh, it was, no one knew we were playing last night, you know? And, uh, but tonight seemed a lot hipper. A lot cooler, and, uh, and a really good vibe. And, uh, the kids were really into it for us, and, I, I, I really enjoyed the show and, uh, (phone ringing in background) yeah, I had a better time tonight.
Eddie	So, uh, I was at a different kind of Ramones show, down at Iguana's, uh, what year do you think that was? '82?
Joey	Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I remember that night. I was sick. I was totally off the wall that night.
Eddie	That was, uh, anyone that was there, you remember that was ... that's to be remembered as one of the crazier shows, ever.
Joey	Stage diving off the 3rd floor balconies
Eddie	Yeah, hittin' the stacks (Joey: "ha ha") And the first guy made it. The first guy landed on a bunch of people. Someone followed him, um, jumped right after him, and the crowd parted like the Red Sea, and he landed right on his face. And me and Beth remembered him like walking out, try helping him, his face was just completely bloody. and uh, he didn't know where he was. It looked like he had diarrhea at the same time. And I think he lost all his reflexes, all his functions.
Joey	And was a good primal experience.
Eddie	(Laughing) Like five minutes later he was back. Five minutes later he was back right up in the front with ya. "Is that the same guy?". Yeah, same bloody face, same bloody nose, same bloody guy. Uh, that was a great, great, great show. Uh, I'd like to send a message out to my friend Ben. Wherever you are. I don't know where you are.
Joey	Ben, Ben, you coulda met me. And I wouldn't have bitten ya or clawed out your eyeballs, but you blew it.
Eddie	Oh, man. (Ed is laughing and near tears) Well, let's uh, it's too early to go to sleep, so we don't wanna ...
Joey	Or tell you to go fuck off, I wouldn't have done that. (The whole studio laughs) Cause I know you're a good friend of Eddie's here and how could I do that to you, after all.
Eddie	Ok, well, let's uh. I'm not gonna lull people to sleep with my ever-so-soothing voice. Uh, let's put Bad Brains on. This is "Soul Craft".
song	Bad Brains - Soul Craft (Some other song comes on first, then Bad Brains cuts in) Bad Brains - "Soul Craft"
Eddie	Eddie intros Descendents Alright, we got special guests here. An old friend, an old friend of Watt's and uh .. all-around honorable guy. He's gonna introduce a Descendant's song. And which one should we play?
Jovi	Let's look here. How about "My Dad Sucks".
Eddie	"My Dad Sucks". Oh, man, can I ...
Jovi	But I love my dad.
Eddie	Well, then maybe i should introduce this one. I'd like to dedicate this (Joey: 45?) to my dad.
song	Descendents - My Dad Sucks Descendants - "My Dad Sucks"
Eddie	Eddie and Jovi chat All right, that was "My Dad Sucks"
Jovi	No dead air on Monkeywrench Radio, right? (laughing)
Eddie	That is not our motto here. "Dead air is good air", that's our motto here.
Jovi	The deader the better.
Eddie	It doesn't get any better than that. By the way, we were officially asked to be on the Simpsons today.
Jovi	That's an honor
Eddie	I've got a script.
Jovi	Ah, really.
Eddie	I just don't know if I can be a cartoon character.
Jovi	Well, maybe you can play the evil Bart.
Eddie	No, I tually they have me playing myself with Homer's giving me advice.
Jovi	(laughs)
Eddie	Something like, "Rock on, then quit."
Jovi	Woo hoo!
Eddie	"Then stop". So um...
Jovi	Well, I heard they're gonna have a punk band this season too on the Simpsons. I think Bart's gonna play bass. is ian singing onthis thing.
Eddie	Oh yeah, it's definitely gone mainstream. Uh, yeah, is Ian singin on this song?
Jovi	No, he produced it.
Eddie	Oh ok, it's called Kingface.
Jovi	Old DC band, Kingface, yeah.
Eddie	And remember, Fugazi's playing ...
Jovi	That's friday.
Eddie	Friday night at Soma. Sonic Youth the night before, Rancid on Sunday. Play it.
song	Kingfish - Thrown into Tomorrow Kingfish - "Thrown Into Tomorrow"
Eddie	Ok, this next song, we'll play you .. very quickly. It's a quick song. And it's by the most fucked-up seattle punk band in existence at the moment. Uh, this song is called "West Seattle Acid Party".
song	Zeke - West Seattle Acid Party Zeke - "West Seattle Acid Party"
song	Sweat Engine - Animal Sweat Engine - "Animal" (Samples, very experimental, maybe early Ministry?)
Jovi	Jovi and James Yo, that was Sweat Engine, from the upcoming cd-rom "Multiple Insertions" on (start evil voice:) Monkeywrench Radio hah-hah (end evil voice). That was called "Animal" and that is a psuedo-political kinda thing about the atrocities happening to animals. I mean, I don't know if anyone realizes this. When you put on your eyeliner to go to uh see Pearl Jam or whoever... um that the the eyeliner you're putting on was stuck in like some poor rabbit's eye. And I mean, the holocaust is still going on, only it's just been switched from humans to animals. So if you give half a shit about that you'll ... you'll uh contact CARES or any of the other ... your local basic Humane Society will help you. So uh, that was "Animal" from Sweat Engine and this is 90.7 Monkeywrench Radio. And I think there's one other station trying to tap in called 91X. I don't know. Take it away, maestro. Or is there anything to take away yet?
James	What do you want me to fucking do man?
Jovi	Oh shit I don't know. Um.
James	Reverend Horton Heat or the Supersuckers.
Jovi	Reverend Horton Heat! Who got in. .. I saw them in Reading last year in England - not Reading, California mind you - um and they really put on a good show. I mean everyone there was just like "Yeah!". And um, I was one of the people going "Yeah!". They're really cool bunch of guys. I don't know if you've ever talked to them or not. They'll sit down and shoot the shit and smoke cigarettes with you. And bum your cigaresttes off you .
James	That's more like it.
Jovi	And uh I like their logo. I don't know if anyone rides motorcycles. But "Triumph", the way they spell "Horton". It's kinda like the same thing. "Horton" ... "Norton" ...

Marco	What to expand on that? Is that what you're settin me up to do? Wow.
David	Yeah, expanding on ... hrm.
Marco	Monkeywrench Radio. Broadcasting still backstage at the Sports Arena. There's just a few poeple a and a few uh, heavy machinery running around. Jeoy Ramone is here.
David	Should I .. should I ask this? What should I say? Joey Ramone's here.
Joey	I'm still here.
David	Joey Ramone's here. Joey, let me ask you a few questions.
Joey	Our love lines ... can we help you? (laughter)
Marco	Joey, which of the pieces of fruit did you like best on the fruit tray here?
Joey	I like the uh.. the honeydew was especially succulent tonight.
Marco	Yeah, but you were kinda goin off on the cataloupe too.
Joey	Oh, I like the ... I'm a big cantaloupe fan. It's really a toss up. I don't know, that's a pretty profound question you asked me.
Marco	Now Joey, if you could've chosen any type of fruit to be on that fruit platter, what would it have been that wasn't actually there?
Joey	Well, papaya didn't seem to be there tonight. I like Papaya. That's good stuff.
Marco	Yeah, you know I actually snaked all of the uh ...
Eddie	Hey!
Marco	Hey you!

Marco	Eddie. How are you man?

Marco	I'm supposed to be in Seattle. Am I screwing up here?
Eddie	I got the beer!
Marco	Eddie just walked in with beer. How are you man? I haven't seen you in a long time.
Eddie	I thought you were excommunicated from San Diego.
Marco	Ha Ha! Here I want one of these beers.
Eddie	Marco, you remember Rios?
Marco	Yeah, I do.
Eddie	So it's like right down the street, right?
Marco	Wanna go?
Eddie	Well, it's closed down now.
Marco	Oh, I didn't realize that.
Eddie	There's nothing there. The first time I played there was like eight years ago. You know it took me like eight years to go four blocks!
Marco	(laughs) Wow ... wow. Do you miss San Diego? Eddie?
Eddie	Thirty-minute countdown.
Marco	We have to get out of here?
Eddie	Who's "Miss San Diego"?
Marco	So you miss it?
Eddie	I don't watch those things. A girl competition.
Marco	Miss San Diego (laughing).
Eddie	They're awful. I think those things are awful.
Marco	Do these need an opener, by the way? do you have an opener? I can't do this with my teeth. Can you believe ... you know, the weirdest thing to me is that uh ...
Eddie	Now wait, wait, you're ... you're like "radio union". I don't think you're allowed on this station here. (laughter)
Marco	I'm sorry. I'll put down the mic. I'll put down the mic.
Eddie	We're gonna become . . see how see how quickly it becomes slick? Just like that.
Marco	Oh man.
Tim	He was talking about assasinating political figures.
Eddie	Oh, OK.
Marco	And I was asking Joey about the fruit plate.
Tim	So we're not dissing him.
Marco	And we were missing papaya.
Joey	Assassinating political figures and assorted fruits. (laughter)
Marco	Well, well, damn.
Eddie	Hey, you know, what I see ... I see a reunion thing happening. Sit here for a second Robin. This will be just like the old days. This is almost like the Velvet Underground when they got back together last year. (Marco laughing)
Eddie	Uh, oh boy!
Robin	Oh my god!
Eddie	Robin and Marco.
Robin	It's nice to see you after all these years.
Marco	It's good to see you, Robin.
Robin	So Eddie's like having a cigarette right now and we're supposed to talk to each other.
Marco	Well, when was the last time we saw each other?
Robin	Um.
Marco	(burps really loudly) Ahhhh.
Robin	Wait, when's the last time ... when's the last time we saw each other.
Marco	It's been too fucking long, Robin.
Robin	(laughing) When's the last time we saw each other?
Marco	That's what I'm trying to figure out.
Robin	I'm trying to think. It was pretty recently.
Marco	Hey, you guys. San Diegans will appreiciate this. I work at a station in Seattle now. And Pam Wolf is working for us now in Seattle.
Robin	Yep, yep. And I heard that she's causing a lot of grief out there.
Tim	Hey, this is getting way too much right to deal with.
Marco	Ok, Ok alright. Here, then I'm .. I'm gonna let Joey take things over here Joey. You wanna talk?
Joey	Why don't you read that card?
Tim	Read the card.
Marco	Oh, OK Joey. Joey's uh. uh. Joey, you're doing writing for this, right?
Joey	My contribution, right, yeah. I got a column called "Joey Ramone's Rotary Boards". And uh ... and when I get home back to New York tomorrow, I'm gonna write. This trip of japan and whatever.
Marco	Do you do like diary stuff? Are you doing ... like ... is it like a diary of Ramones dates?
Joey	Just a diary of, yeah, Ramones stuff it's really uh ... it's really anythingn you know? Anything that seems worthy.
Marco	OK and you've got ... you've got a an email address actually. Do you want to give out the email address?
Joey	Yeah sure.
Marco	Ok, it's xxxxxxxxx@aol.com. That's pretty easy to remember. So people can email you. That's it? That's your web site.
Joey	Website, yeah.
Marco	Yeah. The "Addicted To Noise" website. World-wide-web ... dot ... addict a-d-d-i-c-t ... dot com ... slash ... capital letters A-T-N ... slash. That's the "Addicted to Noise" website. Joey's writing for them and that's your email. Do you want to play more music?

Eddie	Joey For President Hey I uh, hey Joey, can i ask you a question?
Joey	Yeah, sure.
Eddie	When are you announcing you're running for candidacy for President?
Joey	Huh? I'm deaf. I'm losing my hearing. It's that "Hendrix Syndrome". You know?
Eddie	When are you ... when are you gonna make the official annoucnement. I know you've been keeping it under wraps. You might as well tell everyone here that you're ... you're gonna be running this year for President. Is that correct?
Joey	Yeah, that's true. I was waiting til uh (Colin) Powell, you know, came. I was gonna wait for him to come through first with his comment.
Eddie	May steal a little bit of his thunder.
Joey	Yeah, well ... yeah, well. It's um... I'm still trying to make up my mind, you know, it's difficult with all this touring and Rock-N-Roll stuff.
Eddie	You know they're gonna look into your life and dissect your lifestyle but you know there's nothing they can find.
Joey	Well, when you're in a hotel room by yourself, you do a lot of "dwelling", you know, that internal dwelling, youknow? You know, you think about this and then whatever. But uh... it's ... it's conceivable. (laughs)
Eddie	You're the only guy I know who can run without even having a platform.
Joey	Since the Ramones are ending, it's conceivable.
Eddie	I would just love to see the Ramones flag flying in front of the White House. That's a nice picture. Uh, here's another guy I would vote for if he had ... his names's Bobby Miller. What you're about to hear is something that's going to be released on January 15th. Uh, it's something called "Home Alive". It's something that was organized in Seattle. Uh. All the proceeds are going to go to uh ... well, , they're uh actually going to be funding women's self-defense courses. As it stands, they're ... they're pretty expensive. Upwards of $300 or something for a few classes. Uh, we're gonna make it free with your help. There's ... it's gonna be a double record - tons of stuff on there. We're gonna play you a couple things. The first is spoken word. I think I played this one on the Monkeywrench show that we did the first one from seattle. And play it again now. His name's Bobby Miller. He's got my vote for President. After that, we're gonna play our song. Uh, that's gonna be on there, it's called "Leaving here". "Keep Your Mouths Off My Sister".
song	Bobby Miller - Keep Your Hands Off My Sister Bobby Miller - "Keep Your Mouths Off My Sister"
song	Pearl Jam - Leavin Here Pearl Jam - "Leavin Here"
Eddie	Eddie and Joey Alright (feedback on his voice ... laughs). A little feedback. Uh, am I on? Hey. It's uh ... let me set up a tape for a sec. Joey, we're gonna have to leave in a few minutes here. You wanna start saying our goodbyes? We're gonna play a couple more things. Uh, uh, San Diego was pretty nice. It was pretty ... you've never played here before have you?
Joey	Huh?
Eddie	You've never played here before.
Joey	No, I never did, no.
Eddie	I saw. I saw the Who here.
Joey	Wow.
Eddie	I was sitting up right in Section 23. I was very stoned.
Joey	Wow
Eddie	Uh, uh, and that ... that last song was recorded by the Who uh before they were th Who when they were still called the High Numbers. And uh, I was also uh ... think it was a motown song originally. And uh, I've heard Iggy Pop versions and I've heard Motorhead versions. And ours really doesn't compare to those. Hey I'm gonna play this guy called Wesley Willis. Man, I'm tired. Laughs. It's been a long couple-a days. I'm very uh... it gives me hope to come down here and have everyone enthused. And not too upset. This is Wesley Willis. He's upset.
song	Wesley Willis - Casper the Homosexual Friendly Ghost Wesley Willis - "Casper the Homosexual Friendly Ghost"
Eddie	(This is live, and Wesley is bantering endlessly while his guitarist tunes up) Hey wesley. This song was um...
Eddie	Eddie chats with Jovi (everyone cheering "Woo-hoo!") Alright, Wesley. He's my man, Rock over London, rock on Chicago, Cheetos: the cheese that goes crunch. Hey uh ... we're uh ... we're gonna wind down and there's a couple things we're gonna play. I can't leave without playing this next thing even though I've never heard it. But I know the people that are on it. And I'm dying to hear it. And it's gonna happen in just a couple seconds. I'll tell you what it is: it's my freind joey. We mentioned his name before. He pleyed with a guy, Mike Watt. You know who he is. Me and Grohl did that tour: Hovercraft, Foo Fighters, and Watt. And Watt played in Minutemen ... fIREHOSE ... bass. And uh, he played on this, he played bass. Another guy named Nels Klien. Hey Jovi? Uh, tell us about this thing: where did you record it actually?
Jovi	We did it over at a place called the Box Studio - which is the guitar player from a band called Tanner. In his garage he has a little 8-track deal. We did it over there.
Eddie	And uh ... Nels Cline. Does he play on the 1st song?
Jovi	He's on the second song. Did you cue it?
Eddie	Oh. No, we were just gonna play the first one.
Jovi	Oh well, he's on the second one. That's the better one.
Eddie	Uh, yeah, we should hear Neil. Just forward it a little bit down. There. And while you're doin that, I'll mention another local band that mi wife and I really love and there called "Clikitat Ikatowi" (thanks to Brad for ID-ing this band's name)
Jovi	They just played Sunday at "Off the Record". You missed 'em by a day.
Eddie	Yeah, well you know I got work to do .. pay the rent.
Jovi	(laughs) I understand that.
Eddie	I did however go out of my way to see them about two months ago in July.
Jovi	Uh oh.
Eddie	Showed up ....
Jovi	The no-show gig.
Eddie	The second floor of some karate studio or something. The guy almost kicked my fucking ass.
Jovi	And I wasn't around.
Eddie	You were not there to defend me, no.
Jovi	I was at Lollapalooza I remember ... watching Sonics (Sonic Youth).
Eddie	Yeah, which was a good call. I was very excited to see the band. Uh, Beth and I have only heard tapes. Uh I'm sure they're even better live. But I've met the guy Scott and he's ... he's ... uh, I like him
Jovi	He played in Heroin I think for awhile, at one point, right?
Eddie	Yeah, he's workin up at a guitar shop in Encinitas if you want to go by and say "Hi". That's moonlight music. Right next store to La Paloma. Anyway, let's play ... let's just play and see where we're at on this tape. This is, uh, a band put out under the name West Coast Modern Day Punk Rock Orchestra.
song	WCMDPRO - Jumpy West Coast Modern Day Punk Rock Orchestra - "Jumpy"
Eddie	Thanks and Goodbyes Alright. That was "Jumpy" off of Jovi's record. Congratulations, Joey, it sounds good. (laughs) Um I'm rushin cause we gotta ...
Jovi	Roll!
Eddie	We gotta roll. Uh, let's just give thank yous around the room to the uh ...
Jovi	Marco first?
Eddie	The 91X All-Stars ... the San Diego Radio Allstars. I'm pretty excited. I feel like totally official. Uh, though I listen ... 91X ...(whispering) I don't wanna get in trouble (end whispering). This is not ... 91X picked us up but we're on 90.7. Uh, this is our own thing that goes for about 30 nmiles. But I guess ninety... the other radio station picked this up. So if you hear me, I guess it's thanks to them so I'm either thankful or fearful because of the level of exploitation involved. Um, but either way, we're communicating. Throw this tape in could you? And uh ... and I'm bossing the pros around and uh. Thanks to Jovi who lasted the ...
Eddie	91x concludes (Dance music). Well, it sounds like they pulled the plug over at ... uh ... Monkeywrench Radio Over at the Sports Arena.
