Update and replay of the Bobby Yang Episode – MDW386

1
00:00:01,300 --> 00:00:05,390
Mike Dell's world number 3 86 for,

2
00:00:05,940 --> 00:00:10,270
what is it already today?
It's the 10th of May,

3
00:00:10,690 --> 00:00:15,270
2023. So, uh,

4
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,910
let's see what's been going on in my
world here today. And, uh, by the way,

5
00:00:19,910 --> 00:00:22,670
I gotta replay of, uh,

6
00:00:22,780 --> 00:00:27,690
episode from October, 2008 and,

7
00:00:27,830 --> 00:00:30,770
uh, I know I was fiddling
around and thought I would, uh,

8
00:00:31,100 --> 00:00:33,890
throw that in here after
I talked for a little bit.

9
00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:39,210
Cause I don't really have a huge update.
I'm still doing the carnivore thing,

10
00:00:39,530 --> 00:00:41,250
although I dropped the extra podcast,

11
00:00:41,630 --> 00:00:44,490
so you're just gonna have to put up
with a little bit of it here, .

12
00:00:45,710 --> 00:00:50,490
But that suffices to say my
blood sugar is down to, uh,

13
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,330
near normal. And, uh,

14
00:00:52,510 --> 00:00:56,570
I'm off of a lot of the drugs that I, uh,

15
00:00:56,830 --> 00:01:00,370
was taking for diabetes, which, uh,

16
00:01:00,430 --> 00:01:04,330
now I'm down to just two instead of five.

17
00:01:05,050 --> 00:01:09,530
I know crazy. I'm off my
blood pressure meds. Uh,

18
00:01:10,350 --> 00:01:14,290
I'm down 30 pounds. I
still got about seven,

19
00:01:14,660 --> 00:01:19,450
eight more pounds to get
to my goal weight of 1 99.

20
00:01:20,230 --> 00:01:23,050
Uh, but I've gone down, uh,

21
00:01:23,630 --> 00:01:27,610
two full inches in pants size and
probably more than that. But, uh,

22
00:01:28,790 --> 00:01:32,570
you know, I, it's definitely, you
know, not quite to the six pack,

23
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,090
more like the pony keg
thing going on. But, uh,

24
00:01:35,530 --> 00:01:40,490
that's going really good.
So we're just gonna call it that.

25
00:01:40,690 --> 00:01:42,890
I won't bore you with
the rest of the details.

26
00:01:44,100 --> 00:01:48,250
We're still working on home
improvement projects here. Got, uh,

27
00:01:49,890 --> 00:01:53,710
got, uh, let's see, the bathroom,
got the shower done and, uh,

28
00:01:53,730 --> 00:01:57,630
got the walls repainted and,
uh, doing the floors, uh,

29
00:01:57,900 --> 00:02:02,630
next couple of days. So that'll
all be shiny new pic and span.

30
00:02:03,770 --> 00:02:06,310
So looking forward to that. Also, uh,

31
00:02:06,940 --> 00:02:10,150
they picked up a new to me ham radio,

32
00:02:10,490 --> 00:02:14,990
but it's an old tube type ham radio, uh,

33
00:02:15,190 --> 00:02:20,060
Swan 700 s, which, uh, is tube type.

34
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:21,073
And, uh,

35
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,740
the old school makes the room
smell funny cuz of the old tubes,

36
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,700
and it's a lot of fun. So I've
been really enjoying that.

37
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:34,220
Get on and rag chew in the evenings once
in a while with a bunch of guys around,

38
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,980
around the Great Lakes
here. And, and, uh, yeah,

39
00:02:37,980 --> 00:02:41,700
it's just fun to have the old glow
in the dark radio instead of, uh,

40
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,220
the new fancy one. So I still got
the new fancy ones too, so .

41
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:50,740
But, uh, that's really what's
going on here. I like said,

42
00:02:50,940 --> 00:02:54,340
don't have a lot to talk about
just yet. Lots going on at work.

43
00:02:54,920 --> 00:02:58,500
If you want to hear about, uh,
what's going on at blueberry and, uh,

44
00:02:58,850 --> 00:03:03,600
other podcasting related stuff,
go check out podcast insider.com.

45
00:03:04,420 --> 00:03:07,960
I'm on there two to
three times a month, uh,

46
00:03:08,470 --> 00:03:13,200
with other hosts, uh, couple
times a month, so, uh,

47
00:03:13,300 --> 00:03:18,240
you know, but I, I'm the producer,
so whatever they talk about, I, uh,

48
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,080
I was there . So anyway,

49
00:03:22,270 --> 00:03:24,760
without further ado, I'm gonna play,

50
00:03:25,270 --> 00:03:28,120
this is from October, 2008.

51
00:03:28,260 --> 00:03:33,230
I'm a little confused about what
actual episode number it is,

52
00:03:33,230 --> 00:03:35,750
but I guess that doesn't matter. But, uh,

53
00:03:35,750 --> 00:03:38,830
it's when I interviewed
Bobby Yang in the studio,

54
00:03:39,390 --> 00:03:43,710
W N M C a 90.7 FM in Traverse City.

55
00:03:44,210 --> 00:03:47,990
Anyway, uh, , I haven't done a
radio show in a long time over there, but,

56
00:03:48,050 --> 00:03:52,910
uh, I guess I could go
back at some point. But,

57
00:03:53,010 --> 00:03:55,350
uh, this one was, it was pretty cool. I,

58
00:03:55,590 --> 00:04:00,510
I got a couple of live recordings
from the studio there of Bobby and his

59
00:04:00,510 --> 00:04:05,430
group and, uh, I don't know, I was
jamming to it earlier today and I thought,

60
00:04:05,450 --> 00:04:07,790
you know what, I wanna
put that out for you guys.

61
00:04:07,810 --> 00:04:11,870
So I'm gonna play the entire
episode. I don't know what the, uh,

62
00:04:12,180 --> 00:04:14,110
episode number is. And please,

63
00:04:14,410 --> 00:04:18,990
please be nice to me about the audio
quality cuz it's not nearly as good as it

64
00:04:18,990 --> 00:04:22,510
is these days. So, without further ado,

65
00:04:23,730 --> 00:04:27,780
here's me. Oh yeah, 15 years ago,

66
00:04:27,850 --> 00:04:30,500
something like that. crazy.

67
00:04:33,010 --> 00:04:36,140
Yeah, good morning, good evening,
whatever the case may be.

68
00:04:36,140 --> 00:04:39,860
This isn't an official
Mike Dell's world podcast,

69
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,620
but I did wanna share something with
you. Uh, today at the radio station,

70
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,820
we had a live band in, have you
ever heard of him? Uh, Bobby Yang.

71
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:51,810
And, uh,

72
00:04:51,810 --> 00:04:56,380
it's been making a swing through Northern
Michigan and stopped in at the radio

73
00:04:56,490 --> 00:05:00,380
station. And, uh, I played, uh,

74
00:05:00,860 --> 00:05:05,620
a couple of songs and I got recordings
of them and I got permission to put them

75
00:05:05,620 --> 00:05:10,260
on my podcast. So, uh, in case
you don't know who Bobby Yang is,

76
00:05:10,610 --> 00:05:15,380
he's a, uh, a very good
violinist and he, uh,

77
00:05:15,790 --> 00:05:20,380
plays, uh, classic rock songs and, uh,

78
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,750
and sort of jam band songs
and along with his group,

79
00:05:26,290 --> 00:05:31,220
the, uh, I forget what under something,
I don't have it in front of me.

80
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:36,180
But, uh, anyway, we go to bobby
yang.com and you read all about him.

81
00:05:36,180 --> 00:05:41,080
You can pick up a cd. But anyway,
first one, uh, I wanna play his, uh,

82
00:05:41,140 --> 00:05:45,800
his version. And this was recorded live,
uh, three feet from me. We had, uh,

83
00:05:46,690 --> 00:05:51,170
Bobby on the violin, and,
uh, another guy in a guitar,

84
00:05:51,790 --> 00:05:55,770
and then the third guy on a bass.
They didn't have their drummer, uh,

85
00:05:55,950 --> 00:06:00,200
but don't need no . It
was pretty good. So anyway,

86
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,920
here's a old David Bowie song, uh,

87
00:06:03,580 --> 00:06:06,110
done by Bobby Yang and his group.

88
00:10:53,260 --> 00:10:56,220
Excellent . Thank you guys. Yeah,

89
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,220
you guys are playing all my favorite
stuff, , but I didn't know it.

90
00:11:02,050 --> 00:11:03,510
Anyway. I'm sure the, uh,

91
00:11:03,570 --> 00:11:07,150
studio recording there sounds a little
different than my voice does now.

92
00:11:07,830 --> 00:11:12,030
, oh, well, they
got better equipment. Uh,

93
00:11:12,730 --> 00:11:17,310
anyway, like I said, that was Bobby
Yang playing Space Oddity from, uh,

94
00:11:19,330 --> 00:11:23,680
today at, uh, W N M C during the Folk
Air Show. If you wanna listen live,

95
00:11:24,100 --> 00:11:28,560
you can, uh, listen over@wmc.org. Uh,

96
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,880
I got some pretty cool
music on all the time.

97
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:35,200
Mostly jazz during the week in
the mornings and afternoons and

98
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,880
evenings. Could be anything
from blues to folk to rock to,

99
00:11:40,780 --> 00:11:44,440
uh, I mean, you just name
it the different genres,

100
00:11:44,580 --> 00:11:47,960
the whole schedules over
there at W N M C. So anyway,

101
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:53,000
I wanna make this a big promo for that.
But, uh, pretty, pretty happy with the,

102
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,680
uh, thing today. Uh, the, the
recording there, uh, like I said,

103
00:11:57,680 --> 00:12:02,240
that wasn't recorded off air, that
was recorded in the studio with, uh,

104
00:12:02,820 --> 00:12:06,080
me trying to set it up and,
uh, with, with the help of, uh,

105
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,220
our station manager, Eric. And, uh,

106
00:12:10,220 --> 00:12:15,170
I think we did a pretty good job
considering, uh, considering, uh,

107
00:12:15,270 --> 00:12:20,130
the setup there. And, uh, like I
said, if you wanna hear the full,

108
00:12:20,230 --> 00:12:23,280
uh, studio recordings, uh, uh,

109
00:12:23,350 --> 00:12:27,120
Bobby's got a couple of CDs
out, uh, one's called uh,

110
00:12:28,380 --> 00:12:33,280
uh, the Red CD or something like
that. And, uh, I don't know,

111
00:12:33,340 --> 00:12:37,660
go over to bobby yang.com
tell you all about it. That's,

112
00:12:37,660 --> 00:12:41,740
that's probably the best bet. That
way I don't get things messed up.

113
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,540
And I don't know if my audio is pretty
low, but, uh, oh, well, I guess I can,

114
00:12:47,540 --> 00:12:51,060
uh, fix it and post edit
post edit. Yeah.

115
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,620
Anyway, I'm gonna leave you
with one more Bobby Yang song.

116
00:12:55,700 --> 00:12:59,860
Recorded three feet from me today at, uh,

117
00:13:00,220 --> 00:13:03,820
W N M C. And this is, uh,

118
00:13:04,130 --> 00:13:07,940
Bobby's version of Cashmere.
Uh, yeah, the old, uh,

119
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,220
led Zeppelin tune. So . Anyway,

120
00:13:12,310 --> 00:13:16,780
check it out and, uh, we'll be back
with, with an official show here, uh,

121
00:13:16,850 --> 00:13:17,683
real soon.

122
00:17:51,980 --> 00:17:54,950
Okay, well, everybody have
a good one. Uh, like I said,

123
00:17:55,110 --> 00:17:59,630
I just thought I would share
that, uh, with you. Uh,

124
00:18:00,060 --> 00:18:03,430
it's probably not everybody's
kind of music, but, uh,

125
00:18:03,670 --> 00:18:06,990
I thought it was pretty
cool. So catch me later.
