[Music]
00:23-00:37
Alright from the Helix Rock Radio Studios in the great Pennsylvania Mountains.
00:37-00:48
I bid you hello. Good afternoon. Welcome to the Saturday Shit Show.
00:48-00:54
I am your host Brandon. I will be hanging out with you for the next couple of hours.
00:54-01:00
Talking, playing music and just having a good time.
01:00-01:06
Those of you that are listening, don’t forget to shout us out on social media.
01:06-01:14
Helix Rock Radio. Like I said, I will be here playing all of the songs you want to hear.
01:14-01:23
If you have a song request, text it to 570-460-9190.
01:23-01:31
And we will get that song on the air.
01:31-01:38
Kicking it off now with Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N’ Roses.
01:38-01:42
Alright that was Creed One Last Breath.
01:42-01:47
A song that I remember from high school but getting airplay again.
01:47-01:52
Apparently it’s one of those songs that just randomly started making a comeback.
01:52-01:56
So I thought that was pretty cool and wanted to play it.
01:56-02:01
So yesterday, of course, happy Valentine’s Day to everybody.
02:01-02:06
Guys, if you’re listening, I hope you took care of your significant other.
02:06-02:09
You know, got a flower, chocolate, something like that.
02:09-02:13
You know guys, we got to step it up around Valentine’s Day.
02:13-02:16
It’s the holiday of love.
02:16-02:22
So no show last week. Unfortunately I had some personal stuff going on.
02:22-02:26
But like I said, I will be here with you the next couple of hours.
02:26-02:34
If you do want to request a song, again, text 570-460-9190.
02:34-02:38
That is the phone number. Text it and I will play the song.
02:38-02:43
Kicking it off now with Alter Bridge, Find the Real.
02:43-02:46
Alright, that was Butcher Babies.
02:46-02:50
They are such a great band. I’ve fallen them on Insta.
02:50-02:54
They’re really good. I really enjoy them.
02:54-02:57
So I just wanted to talk about a couple of things.
02:57-03:01
Last weekend, of course, the Royal Dremel.
03:01-03:07
We have Charlotte Flair winning the women’s Royal Dremel.
03:07-03:10
Looks like she’s going to be going against Stratton.
03:10-03:15
And of course we have Jimmy Uso which is going to be against Gunther.
03:15-03:21
Which is a little bit weird to me because he just wrestled him on the Saturday main event.
03:21-03:30
So we’ll have to see what transpires here over leading into Elimination Chamber
03:30-03:34
and then WWE Mania.
03:34-03:36
It’s going to be interesting. Let’s put it that way.
03:36-03:45
Also to Triple H announced as the first tall person to be going in the Hall of Fame this year
03:45-03:48
followed by Michelle McCool.
03:48-03:53
She’s going in as well, obviously married to the Undertaker.
03:53-03:55
You knew that was going to happen.
03:55-04:01
But she definitely paid her dues and she definitely was a big name for her time.
04:01-04:08
That kind of cocky girl attitude thing was, I don’t know, I liked it.
04:08-04:10
I thought it was pretty good.
04:10-04:16
So she’s going in and we’ll hear about some more as we lead up to Mania.
04:16-04:20
So that’ll be kind of a fun thing.
04:20-04:21
I always liked the Hall of Fame.
04:21-04:24
I thought last year it was a little soft.
04:24-04:27
Heyman going in was obviously the big one.
04:27-04:31
But last year I thought it was just a little on the soft side.
04:31-04:36
Not saying the people didn’t deserve it, but it definitely wasn’t what I expected.
04:36-04:40
So of course Elimination Chamber now leading up to that.
04:40-04:44
We’ve had qualifying matches, all that kind of stuff.
04:44-04:46
It’s been good.
04:46-04:49
The other person I’d like to see go in is Mickey James.
04:49-04:55
Michelle McCool just did a podcast recently and she had said that Mickey should go in.
04:55-05:03
She’s very deserving of it and she dealt with a lot of crap back in the old days from everybody in the back.
05:03-05:10
And still, you know, soldiers on, she’d been what, fired twice, brought back how many times.
05:10-05:17
I mean, WWE treated him Mickey like crap and she still kept coming back.
05:17-05:19
So good for her.
05:19-05:21
I think she’s definitely deserving.
05:21-05:23
I’m hoping Mickey will get in this year.
05:23-05:26
If not next year, I’m sure she’s very deserving.
05:26-05:32
She’s on a new show that WWE is coming out next month, which I guess is kind of like tough enough.
05:32-05:34
So we’ll have to see.
05:34-05:38
WWE also has a new show coming out on 2B2.
05:38-05:41
That looks very low budget.
05:41-05:45
If you’ve seen the trailer of it, I don’t know.
05:45-05:46
We’ll have to see.
05:46-05:49
It looks very, I’m not very impressed with it.
05:49-05:51
The talent is great, but I don’t know.
05:51-05:52
It looks at the production value.
05:52-05:54
It might be kind of crappy.
05:54-05:57
So we’ll have to wait and see.
05:57-06:06
Again, if you want to hear a song, 570-460-9190, text me the song and I will play it.
06:06-06:15
Kick it off now with an old school one by Slash off his solo album, “Buy the Sword” with Andrew Scotdale from Wolf.
06:15-06:24
So Mark Tramonte has had much time to work on a lot of his music or tour with his new music because Creed’s been tearing up the charts, man.
06:24-06:32
One of the highest grossing bands of 2024 and 2025 already kicking off with a bunch of sold out dates.
06:32-06:34
Good for them, man.
06:34-06:38
Definitely great to see one of the bands from when you were younger.
06:38-06:39
I have a huge comeback.
06:39-06:41
So good for them.
06:41-06:53
Speaking of people that really, not be able to be companies that I guess is having a little bit of a rough run is Tesla.
06:53-06:59
Two days there was a Tesla truck that ran through a building when it was on self-driving.
06:59-07:06
And a couple days before that, Tesla stopped causing a nine car pile up.
07:06-07:10
Self-driving is a tough thing, man.
07:10-07:13
And I think that’s why Apple pulled out.
07:13-07:19
Apple said the hardest part was that final mile, which is kind of what they all call it.
07:19-07:24
That last part, which is the full self-driving.
07:24-07:36
I don’t think Apple knowing their company, their reputation, how much they value their quality and all that would want to risk these kinds of headlines.
07:36-07:41
And I think that’s why Apple kind of cut their losses and said, OK, we’re not doing the car anymore.
07:41-07:44
They were, but we’re not doing it.
07:44-07:50
Apple has the kind of money too that they can go ahead and invest a bunch of money into a product.
07:50-07:54
And if it doesn’t work out, oh, well, they’ll just write it off.
07:54-07:58
But they’ve got enough money that they can do that a lot of companies can’t.
07:58-08:11
But Apple, speaking of them to announce that they were actually working on glasses like VR glasses like metal was.
08:11-08:15
And I guess it was supposed to connect to the phone and it didn’t work out.
08:15-08:19
So Apple has sent that back to the drawing board.
08:19-08:22
They say it’s a couple of years before we actually even see that.
08:22-08:32
So Apple is, you know, they’ve got the kind of money that they can just throw stuff against the wall and see how it, you know, how it does.
08:32-08:36
Obviously this week they released their new invites app.
08:36-08:49
So if you want to invite people to your, you know, to a birthday party or to listen to a playlist or an Apple music or anything like that, Apple invites is the way to go.
08:49-09:02
I think a couple of DJs on the channel on a station here have, I think one or two of them started creating weekly playlists and invite and share with with their listeners, stuff like that.
09:02-09:06
I haven’t done that yet, but I’m messing with it.
09:06-09:09
We will wait and see.
09:09-09:12
But like I said, I think that’s really cool.
09:12-09:18
Apple releasing the invites app, not really going to make a huge difference.
09:18-09:20
I don’t think for their business.
09:20-09:25
I think it’s one of those things where it’s just kind of like the icing on the cake for them.
09:25-09:28
Next week they’ve announced a event.
09:28-09:37
Most of us, they just think it’s going to be the new iPhone SE, which is kind of like Apple’s cheaper phone for businesses.
09:37-09:43
I don’t think it’s going to be a huge deal, but I’m sure people will be talking about it’s Apple.
09:43-09:44
That’s what they do.
09:44-09:50
So next coming up is going to be three bands that people have requested again.
09:50-09:54
Text 570-460-9190.
09:54-09:57
I don’t care by Violet Vera.
09:57-10:01
They’re actually an indie band that we’ve played here before.
10:01-10:08
Elevate by Hingdom of Collapse and Bleed Me Dry by Uncured.
10:08-10:11
Here on Helix, a rock, a radio.
10:11-10:19

All right, that was, uh, I’m sorry, that was, I’m sorry.
11:29-11:33
I, for some reason, I was, I heard the next song in my headphones.
11:33-11:35
I was like, God, did I miss it?
11:35-11:38
That’s why this is the shit show.
11:38-11:46
A couple things I just wanted to bring up quickly before we get to the next song, which is Van Halen.
11:46-11:48
I wanted to bring up just a couple of things.
11:48-11:55
Obviously, those of us that live in Pennsylvania, big day yesterday, Eagles prayed.
11:55-11:59
Eagles bringing home the win before the Super Bowl.
11:59-12:05
Kansas City got de-thrown, kind of knocked off their high horse.
12:05-12:08
Feel bad for Swift, man.
12:08-12:13
She got booed out of the stadium.
12:13-12:18
A lot of hate for her from the NFL fans.
12:18-12:22
But like I said, they had the Eagles prayed up here in Philly.
12:22-12:28
I’m not a big football guy, but I had quite a few people take off for work to go up there.
12:28-12:31
So, I hope you all had a good time.
12:31-12:39
So, speaking of the weekend, yesterday Captain America opened up.
12:39-12:41
I have not seen it yet.
12:41-12:43
My wife and I want to go see it.
12:43-12:45
Marvel movies are movies.
12:45-12:47
For the most part, you go see it in the theater.
12:47-12:49
So, we’re going to check that out.
12:49-12:55
Also, too, last night, the season finale of the new Dexter.
12:55-12:57
My wife and I really like it.
12:57-13:03
If you have not seen it, I’m not going to spoil it for you and don’t spoil it for me because I haven’t watched it yet.
13:03-13:05
That’s tonight.
13:05-13:13
Also, too, Apple has a kind of action thriller, kind of horror movie called The Gorge.
13:13-13:16
I want to watch on Apple Plus too.
13:16-13:25
They’re actually saying that the world has changed as people like myself, pushing 40 and my friends,
13:25-13:35
they’re saying that when our parents were younger, the big thing on Valentine’s Day weekend was a chick flick or a romance or something like that.
13:35-13:42
They’re saying now that horror movies are the big sellers on Valentine’s Day.
13:42-13:45
My how the world has changed.
13:45-13:49
Like I said, kicking it off with Van Halen.
13:49-13:53
All right, Kickstart My Heart by Montlake Crew.
13:53-13:54
Classic, classic.
13:54-13:55
I like Wild Side 2.
13:55-13:57
That was a great movie.
13:57-14:00
It was in that movie Rockstar.
14:00-14:01
I really like it.
14:01-14:02
It was a good show.
14:02-14:13
By the way, folks, TMG is reporting that WWE superstar J.D. McDon is going to be out for quite some time.
14:13-14:18
Remember, I think it was like a week or two ago, he hit the announce table on Raw.
14:18-14:20
Pretty darn hard.
14:20-14:23
Well, now it looks really bad.
14:23-14:28
It looks like he has a punctured lung, broken ribs.
14:28-14:31
Wow, he’s going to be out for a couple of months, man.
14:31-14:33
He hit his head, everything.
14:33-14:35
He’s really lucky.
14:35-14:38
It didn’t look like a bad injury, but it is, man.
14:38-14:43
You could say, “Uff, man, it looked pretty bad.”
14:43-14:50
Lucky enough, he’s going to be all right, but he’s iffy for a couple of months.
14:50-14:54
Let me tell you that he took a really hard fall.
14:54-15:02
I really like him and Finn Balor as a champ, but I think somebody else is going to — has taken over for him for a little bit.
15:02-15:04
But, man, I really like him.
15:04-15:05
I really do.
15:05-15:06
He’s great.
15:06-15:08
Austin Aries.
15:08-15:20
All those smaller guys that really, really are just the cornerstone of WWE that I wish these guys would get more time.
15:20-15:29
Finn was for a while, but then COVID kind of pushed him down the card a little bit, and then Endeavor bind them out, kind of pushed Cody.
15:29-15:31
And that’s fine.
15:31-15:34
Cody’s a great champ, but I like to see Finn.
15:34-15:41
I like to see Finn get some more time, you know, in the main — you know, on the top of the roster.
15:41-15:42
Finn’s great.
15:42-15:54
I’m curious to see what’s going to happen with SmackDown, because they have moved Bayley over, who’s like one of her main — one of their main female stars.
15:54-15:55
They’ve moved AJ now.
15:55-15:56
He’s on Raw.
15:56-16:08
You know, I hate to say that, you know, it’s the highlight show, but SmackDown’s talent roster is getting a little — little thin.
16:08-16:16
Kicking it off now with Rock You Like a Hurricane by the Scorpions here on Helix Rock Radio.
16:16-16:32
It is such a great remake, those of us that grew up in the early 2000s, ’99 and all that, we remember Will Smith remaking that song as well for a big hit for the Millennium.
16:32-16:44
That was an interesting time to be — to be in your — like, because that age — like, I was at the age when, you know, those are your formal years of music.
16:44-16:57
And in ’99, there was a ton of huge albums coming out, because everybody wanted to have the big album of ’99 or the following year, the big album of the Millennium.
16:57-17:02
Because that was obviously, you know, it was just the thing that everybody was trying to do.
17:02-17:12
And then everybody had Millennium albums, especially a lot of the pop kind of culture, like Backstreet Boys and NSYNC, stuff like that.
17:12-17:16
They were all trying to have album of the year.
17:16-17:21
A lot of your rappers came out with some big albums or tried to make comebacks and stuff like that.
17:21-17:26
Everybody was — it was an interesting time because it’s only going to happen, you know, once.
17:26-17:38
You know, rolling over, you know, we won’t — you know, that’s, you know, looking at 999 more years till we roll over like that to another Millennium.
17:38-17:41
So it was an interesting time for music.
17:41-17:47
I remember being in, I think, like late middle school, maybe freshman or high school.
17:47-17:49
It was an interesting time.
17:49-17:53
Some other things I wanted to talk about real quick.
17:53-17:59
TikTok back on the U.S. App Store and the Play Store.
17:59-18:09
So those of you that saw on eBay, they were hocking iPhones with TikTok app on them for the last couple of weeks.
18:09-18:12
That is, I guess, no more.
18:12-18:16
You can now install your TikTok app on your iPhone.
18:16-18:19
Play Store, not really a big thing.
18:19-18:23
I mean, you could side load things on Android, so I’m not really sure that was a big deal.
18:23-18:27
But big news for Apple because you can’t side load on Apple.
18:27-18:31
So I thought that was pretty cool.
18:31-18:41
Also, too, I wanted to bring up Apple TV Plus app finally coming to Android phones.
18:41-18:48
Now, some of the headlines have been, “Oh, Apple’s finally coming to Android.”
18:48-18:50
That’s not true.
18:50-19:01
Apple TV Plus app has been on the Chromecast or the Google TV, I should say, or what do they call it now, the Google Streamer.
19:01-19:08
It’s been on a lot of Android devices, been on Roku, stuff like that.
19:08-19:13
It wasn’t available, though, on the actual Android phones.
19:13-19:14
It is now.
19:14-19:16
So that was big news.
19:16-19:25
And I remember, too, when Apple was, well, I mean, they are competing with Spotify still, but when they released for the Android,
19:25-19:31
and I had said, “You know, that’s not going to be a big market for them.”
19:31-19:42
But the problem is, if you’re somebody with an iPhone and you get the family plan and your kid has an Android or mom or whoever,
19:42-19:52
if you want to share Apple music or want people to buy the service, you have to make it so people can share it with family on Android.
19:52-19:54
The same thing with the Invites app, by the way.
19:54-19:58
Somebody had texted me a question.
19:58-20:00
They were listening to the show.
20:00-20:03
Christine, her name is, I think she’s a friend of mine.
20:03-20:20
She had said, “Does it work on Android?” So you can’t use that Invites app on Android, but if you are an Apple user and you invite somebody using the Invites app and they’re on an Android phone,
20:20-20:25
they can click on the link and accept the invite.
20:25-20:28
Obviously, you’re sharing a playlist.
20:28-20:30
They also have to have Apple music.
20:30-20:35
And the people you’re sharing with have to have an Apple music subscription.
20:35-20:38
So there’s a couple of gotchas on there.
20:38-20:44
With Spotify, if you share a playlist, it doesn’t matter if the person has Spotify or not, they can just listen to it on their phone.
20:44-20:49
It’s a little bit different with Apple music because it’s paid only.
20:49-20:51
There is no free.
20:51-20:56
That’s kind of where the walled garden of Apple.
20:56-21:04
I’m an Apple fan, but that’s where they kind of, you know, starts to fall apart a little bit sometimes.
21:04-21:08
But I do like my Apple devices.
21:08-21:17
Also, somebody else had brought up to me in the studio when the music was playing.
21:17-21:25
I forgot to mention this. The Apple Invites app, you have to have an iCloud plus subscription.
21:25-21:28
You have to be playing for iCloud to be able to use.
21:28-21:32
So that’s kind of a little gotcha with Apple too, with that service.
21:32-21:34
I did not know that.
21:34-21:39
So thank you for somebody who told me that while the music was playing.
21:39-21:42
See, we do a lot here when the music is playing.
21:42-21:51
Kicking it off now with some little bit of old, little bit of new Slither by Velvet Revolver.
21:51-21:55
All right. Hard to handle the black crows.
21:55-21:59
Oh, such a classic. One of my favorite songs.
21:59-22:02
You know, I got so many favorite songs.
22:02-22:06
I wish I could stay here jamming out with you all day.
22:06-22:08
But unfortunately, I can’t.
22:08-22:13
But I do want to point out before I play the next song here.
22:13-22:19
Ozzy Osbourne has announced that his last show will be with Black Sabbath.
22:19-22:26
And they’re reunited for one last time on July 5th for a fundraising concert.
22:26-22:33
So if you are a Black Sabbath fan, this is your last chance to see them all together.
22:33-22:37
All right, little Black Sabbath.
22:37-22:43
One more thing I want to tell you folks before I depart myself.
22:43-22:49
These Saturday Night Live writer Rosebud Baker.
22:49-22:53
She’s a fabulous comedian. I’ve seen her a few times.
22:53-22:57
Her Netflix special is this Tuesday the 18th.
22:57-22:59
It’s called The Motherload.
22:59-23:06
If you want to see the trailer for it on YouTube, it’s pretty brutal.
23:06-23:11
She’s known for being a little rough around the edges when it comes to her jokes.
23:11-23:18
But if you like good adult based humor, her, like I said, she is her.
23:18-23:21
It’s the 18th. This is day after. It’s Tuesday.
23:21-23:23
It’s day after presence. What am I thinking?
23:23-23:26
Yeah, so check her special out.
23:26-23:30
I am actually looking forward to it. There’s not many comedians.
23:30-23:32
I say, you got to check their specials out.
23:32-23:35
But she is one of them.
23:35-23:39
Also, too, I want to thank all of you for hanging out with us.
23:39-23:48
Also, you can catch the replay tomorrow morning because we replay the show Sunday and Thursday afternoons.
23:48-23:53
I’m there replaying my show there for in the afternoon.
23:53-23:56
So we got a lot of airplay also, too.
23:56-24:01
If you want to hear the podcast goes up usually tomorrow.
24:01-24:08
That is our entire show, but minus the music because we don’t pay.
24:08-24:11
We don’t have licensing to play all the music.
24:11-24:16
So it’s just kind of like the podcast version, the talking in between the music and stuff.
24:16-24:19
But a lot of you guys really like that.
24:19-24:22
A lot of downloads. So I really appreciate that.
24:22-24:27
Like I said, I want to thank all of you for hanging out with me on Saturday.
24:27-24:36
And we hope to see you next week, kicking you off now with a song that I thought was appropriate for a last song.
24:36-24:43
