Matt Connarton Unleashed: Ricky Mapleton debuts Screamo Sports Songs

0:00 Joining us for I think his I think his third appearance on the program,

0:05 but the first time here in the the news studio on Canal Street. Ricky

0:08 Mapleton is here. How are you, sir? Great to be here,

0:11 Great to be here, Thank you, wonderful to see you. You've got

0:14 a fresh batch of tunes which were uh, which I've heard, and I

0:19 love them, even though the subject is not one that I love. Ironically,

0:24 that would be sports. That would be sports. I am not a

0:27 sports fan. Well, but I do enjoy the songs. There's a lot

0:32 of what would the word be irony perhaps, or I'm not really poking fun

0:36 at sports at the same time as poking fun at sports and praising sports.

0:41 Yes, yes, it's all that they bring to the table. I feel

0:44 the songs are celebratory in nature, Yes they are not, but they are

0:49 humorous in nature as well. And when we did play by the Way earlier,

0:54 we played one of your songs earlier in this What's what's the actual title?

0:57 Do you have any Zeppelin? Do you have any Zeppelin albums? Yeah?

1:00 I love that. Can you pull that mic up a little bit?

1:00 Do you have any Zeppelin album We're getting used to that new set up here.

1:04 Oh yeah, perfect, yeah, thank you. Yeah, I still

1:07 love that song. So tell the story of a particular moment in time.

1:12 Yeah. Yeah. Selling Zeppelin albums, it's just the thing. If you

1:17 have Zeppelin albums, you're sitting on fifty to one hundred bucks. Wow,

1:19 yes, really yeah, if you're sitting on let's say the King and I,

1:26 you're sitting on nothing. Right. So, as I found out,

1:32 I thought all those Broadway plays and stuff would be worth some money right the

1:36 record. So I was like, can you just came to the point of

1:40 can you just take them? Right? Right? So back in the car

1:42 they went, and not to the dump I went, because during the purging

1:46 phase. Yeah, so nobody as ever said do you have any the King

1:51 and I No, okay, but if you sell albums you know, or

1:55 if you if you know a little bit about vinyl, Yeah, classic vinyl

1:59 rock album. There's some months that are worth a lot of money, and

2:01 so yeah, worth nothing, they won't even take them, right. That's

2:05 of course you have Zeppelin albums, right right. If you don't pull that

2:08 mic up a bit more to you, Yeah, get right on it.

2:10 There you go, thank you. We should uh, we should mention too.

2:17 So the you've got well, you've got a lot of music online at

2:21 this point. Yes, thank you, thank you, three different, three

2:24 different artists. The time Keepers song for every five minutes, right, that

2:31 is surprisingly my biggest what would you say, streamed song? That is that

2:38 the correct terminology? Yeah, listen if you would. That's what the kids

2:40 say, you know, yeah, but that's that's every song for every five

2:44 minutes, and a song for every day of the year. Okay, is

2:47 what sells the most because it's the music isn't really fabulous, but I would

2:53 say, but but it's right to the point and as there was. I

2:57 think it was during the COVID I wrote every five minutes and yeah, but

3:01 I'm more excited about Screamo Sports Songs. Yes, oh my god? Now

3:06 is this so? Is this an album? That's yes, it's called scream

3:08 O Sports Songs. May less under the Ricky Mapleton Galaxy of Stars. Do

3:14 you know what the Galaxy of Stars came from? No? Remember the the

3:19 of the album? What was it? The thing you do? Oh yeah,

3:22 yeah yeah, And then he's like, you're under the Galaxy of Stars.

3:24 Oh right, right, sorry, just flashing all over that's all right.

3:30 Yeah, but Screamo Sports Songs is I'm real excited about it, and

3:32 I picture it being played in stadiums. In between like crazy training, they

3:37 would play some soccer chant song, pickleball song. I'm excited to to play

3:44 these, Yes, so excited. Jonathan F. George is in the Facebook

3:47 live chat and says, would love to hear a song about pickleball. Funny

3:53 you should say that, and thanks for what are they calling in there?

3:58 They're they're in the face Facebook Live U. Pickleball is the highlighted song on

4:04 the that's thirty five track Screamo Sports Songs. There's thirty five tracks. Oh

4:11 wow, I sent you what. I believe that to be the premiere.

4:15 Yes, but you could be wrong. Axe Throw isn't on. There is

4:17 a big oh oh, there's just plenty of throwing. You talking biking language.

4:23 Yes, well that's the reason I didn't put it on. It's a

4:27 little slow, oh okay, and it's a total I don't know, maybe,

4:31 but it's about somebody going to an axe throwing. Alcohol and ax throwing

4:35 don't mix, right, and I'm amazed that they have ax throwing in bars.

4:41 That's mind blowing. Then it's even a yeah, well part of the

4:45 song says it clicks off something and hits them in the head and blood everywhere.

4:47 Oh my god, it's right down there. Well, there is a

4:50 lot that can go on. Let's go pickleball in theory, all right now,

4:54 I'm gonna so we'll play this and uh, you know, we'll play

4:58 all the ones that you sent me. I do love the but I do

5:00 have a question though, and forgive my ignorance, and the song doesn't really

5:03 explain it, I believe it or not. Maybe because I'm not particularly a

5:09 sports fan, I don't actually know what pickleball is. Okay, I did

5:13 not know either, really, all right. I don't feel quite so bad

5:16 until I was walking my dog and I went to the Rock Women I think

5:21 they call it. I live kind of close to there, the elementary schools

5:26 there, and it used to have four tennis courts set up there. And

5:32 it's been a couple of years since I walked down there, and I went

5:35 down there last summer and I'm like, what the heck is this is this

5:40 what they call pickleball? And now there's eight or ten pickleballs in one area

5:48 where the tennis courts used to be. Okay, So in theory, you

5:53 get more bang for the buck, not as much running. And as you

5:58 can see the pickleball that I brought in here, it's kind of fun.

6:00 I just started playing around with it. I got to admit yesterday, I'm

6:03 sitting in my box since Christmas because I didn't want to open it up until

6:06 I came here. Oh wow wow. But I should have practiced. I

6:12 was practicing out out here. So that's going to be on tape. Is

6:15 that gonna be a problem. No, I'm in near the couchow right now.

6:18 We're yeah, we'll be okay. But what but what is it like?

6:24 Why is it called pickleball? I don't know. Okay, I should

6:27 have researched. Yeah, I'm just all I know. Is not enough running?

6:31 You don't have to run, okay, got uh got two bad knees.

6:36 What am I to do? Bad hip orthopedic shoe. Just want to

6:42 go out and have some fun, some kind of sport. Well, you

6:45 don't have to run playing pickleball. And that's the exact hopefully the first course.

6:50 Let's play it out sid. This is this is the premiere playing of

6:56 Pickleball, the world radio premiere, World radio Premiere. I am not allowed

7:00 to play pickleball in here? Is that correct? That is correct? And

7:03 can I can I hold up the paddle and do imaginary? You can?

7:06 Yes, that you can. Now, this is a pickleball. Radio is

7:10 the This is the pickleball. So can we play Theater of the mind invisible

7:15 pickleball? Okay, I have imagination. I guess that's a great musician that

7:24 you are. I'm sure you do. Okay. So there are two types

7:30 of pickleball which I didn't get into before the before I came on. There's

7:33 wooden pickleball nineteen ninety nine, Amazon Prime, four four paddles, three balls.

7:41 A belt that I just had. It's a beautiful pickleball belt. Did

7:46 you see that when I came in A currently there's a belt for pickleball,

7:47 a belt, and I want to yeah, I want to show that pickleball

7:50 belt because I'm wearing it all morning. Wow. Yeah, because what I

7:56 started? But oh, you played pickleball and he said no, never.

7:59 So so here's the belt okay. The belt, Oh, the belt is

8:05 where you put the ball. There's got a black belt that's got some like

8:09 netting in it that you shoved belt and falls into And I would just like

8:13 this is they get a paddle holder to the celebration of me being able to

8:18 I was worried when I got this. Yeah it was I've been trying to

8:20 lose some weight, okay, and I didn't think the pickleball belt fit around

8:26 my waist, but it does, it does. So my dream was playing

8:31 pickleball in the old studio. Cool, playing pickleball, right, running around

8:37 that big studio. Right. Well, now we're yeah, we're in a

8:41 nice smaller room now. All right, So but I'm gonna act it out.

8:43 I'm gonna dict out too bad knees. What am I to do?

8:46 Bad hip orthopedic shoe? Okay, so it'll be like the Macarena, but

8:52 with pickleball. Yes, got very good. Yeah, yeah, okay.

8:54 Radio is the theater of the mind. Why don't other sports have belts?

8:58 By the way, wouldn't it be cool if, like any sport, like

9:00 you just always have a ball because you always have the belt. Sports have

9:03 a belt. Oh yeah, you have a weight belt. Yeah, parallel

9:07 there. You probably want to wear that belt if you're going to try and

9:09 throw up six hundred pounds. But you would think tennis players would I don't

9:13 think I don't think the pickleball belt is meant to give you probably probably not.

9:16 No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't try it. It looks amazing,

9:20 it did fit. I did get it to snap. I did. That's

9:24 why I sucked it in a little bit. But so that's pickleball. I

9:30 think three or four pickleballs can go into one tennis court two pickleballs. So

9:35 is it like tennis, like you play half and half, like you can

9:39 split it to two different to have two games at the same time you did.

9:46 The pickleball court is smaller than a tennis court by a third or a

9:52 half or fourth, I'm not sure. So you get more where the where

9:56 the four tennis skirts used to be now they're it's like ten or sixteen pickleball

10:01 courts. See I was right, multiple games, yes, so there's a

10:07 lot of games going on. And when I went there, I was watching

10:11 the heads and they had a lot of let's say a former premier athletes now

10:16 in there, not saying senior years, our more adult years, and they

10:24 were playing it, not as much running, but they take it very seriously.

10:30 Is everyone is everyone required to have a belt? You know? I

10:33 didn't see anybody with a belt, but it came with the kid two belts,

10:37 four balls, I think, four paddles, and I accept it there

10:41 and I said, I'm gonna be on Matt Show. I'm not going to

10:43 take this out. It was where the tree is, where the tree used

10:48 to be, sitting there looking at it, and yesterday I opened it up.

10:56 You should have done an unboxing video and put it on YouTube. Those

10:58 are big, now what boxing videos? No, an unboxing video of you

11:03 unboxing the pickleball? What if you did in reverse? I've never seen someone

11:07 do that. Putting it back in it didn't go back there we go.

11:11 We'll good. I tried to put it back in the box. Yeah,

11:13 oh it wouldn't. But it's a beautiful box, is it? As a

11:18 guy up there nicely playing pickleball palm tree? Yeah, he's rarely enjoying his

11:26 pickle good. Good. It could be your next pickleball song. Instead of

11:28 like man in the box, it's pickleball in the box, in the box.

11:33 Well after after scream of sports songs takes over and the people are demanding

11:41 sports songs Part two. Yes, we're there by the way. J Bellow

11:45 from Chasing the Devil says the world needs a pickleball song, and it now

11:48 has one. Well, we're gonna I excited to hear this before. All

11:54 right, yeah, all right, this is gonna be a big moment in

11:56 your life. You've got to go so here it is the best part.

11:58 Here it is. This is the world radio premiere from Ricky Mapleton. This

12:03 is called Pickleball. Got Too Bad Nis one of mine to do a replacement

12:11 in in an orthopedic cue myself. Want to go out and I have some

12:16 fun clay sport where you don't have to run, play pickle bomb, cray

12:24 sday. Have my knaves playing pickle bomb. Say lies go out in a

12:33 ball kind of black tennis. Just a little small. You'll think you're the

12:39 can the court when you're running around in your pickleball shorts. Play pickle ball.

13:01 Quay on that playing pick a ball. Let me say the lies cold

13:11 out in a ball kind of black tennis. Just a little small. You

13:16 think you're the can the court when you're running around and you pickleball short,

13:22 sold out in a ball kind of black tennis. Just a little small.

13:28 You'll think you're the can the court when you're running around and you pickle ball,

13:37 big pick that is the world radio premiere. Oh well done, I

13:45 done pickleball by Ricky Mapleton Pickleball. Very nice. I just saw the best

13:50 invisible pickle ball game of my life. Thank you. Yes, very welcome.

13:54 It's a tie game right now. I'm a little clumped from it.

13:58 Hi, it's a very Yiddish sport. I think pickleball I think I could

14:01 take over shuffleboard. I don't know about that now, you don't think.

14:09 I think it's gonna take a while, but I think shuffleboard and pickleball will

14:13 be neck and neck in the Senior Olympics. Is that a thing? Well,

14:20 pickleball? Then you know I was very serious. Now there are premier

14:22 athletes playing pickleball? Are the real? ESPN four, ESPN two. I

14:28 did see it, And of course, of course everybody who's playing pickleball is

14:33 a knockout. Not your average pickleball player. You look like they look like

14:37 beach volleyball players. Brilliant. Come on, they should have like a classification.

14:41 You gotta be over to something to play professional pickleball. Yeah, I

14:48 mean everything rules. Well. I think there is an actual pickleball committee Facebook

14:52 page that goes that one of the place at Rock women. I believe they

14:56 have their own little society. Oh wow, oh yeah, there's a whole

15:01 inner world of the pickleball what they call it, pickleball up, pickle pickleball

15:09 leagues, Yes, committees bad? Do they decide like what size the ball

15:15 I want to be? You know how? That is regulated by the pickleball.

15:18 There is a regulation, I believe. So do people try and cheat?

15:22 Are there other balls that you can fix? I don't know if my

15:24 nineteen ninety nine set is an actual Oh wait out, it felt great though

15:30 the first time saying I get it. Yeah, yeah, okay, because

15:33 it doesn't like spring all over the place, right, that's good? Yeah,

15:39 because then you'd have to chase it. Yeah, to chase a pickleball.

15:43 For Bladdy, you're talking about us. They're a deli fa. I

15:48 think pickleball deli and shuffle boarder are the shorts mandatory, mandatory. But the

15:56 song the pickleball shorts that I'm wearing is the most ridicul listening I could find.

16:00 Did those come so? No? No, no, this is not

16:03 going but the case, but you think so? What I'm wearing today is

16:06 the what I consider to be the recreational pickleball League. This is a seventeen

16:14 ninety five pants from Amazon. Okay, stretch, he's just got bad.

16:18 The Amazon gonna give you some money for this. I was bought it online

16:22 at a These shorts haar I've had for a long time. These are the

16:26 official. I knew it was getting old because it has like a little oh

16:30 the elastic band. Yeah, yeah, you're getting old because the elastic band

16:34 is gaping. Yes, Oh so I did not know that was there were

16:40 some pickleball shorts to wear here, and I spawned these like a week ago

16:44 and I put them aside and I said, okay, I'm gonna this this

16:47 that I had it all planned out in my head, but I forgot to

16:49 put my head my headband. It came with a headband too. Oh really

16:52 yeah, oh nineteen ninety five. Were you're going to have more fun than

16:56 the kit that I got? Yeah? I never now what is the difference

17:00 between pickleball shorts and say, tennis short. I don't know. I don't

17:06 know if there is actually a pickleball short. Well, you were very pacific.

17:12 In my imaginational mind, it was like pickleball shorts. It's gonna be

17:15 like now the ones that you see on ESPN with the premier athletes. They're

17:19 like skin tight and showing everything and stuff. A true pickleball short you want

17:25 to cover up as much as you can while you're playing, right, A

17:26 true pickleball person just trying to get back out there play. Some don't have

17:32 to run around much. Okay, I'm outside, I'm socializing. M They're

17:37 gonna find some stuff that you have hidden in your house to go out and

17:40 play. H I think there could be a little connection on pickleball too.

17:42 I felt a little like there was some I don't know. My mind was

17:47 scattered when I was when I made it to the pickleball court. Uh huh.

17:52 There was a lot of male and females, and I felt that perhaps

17:56 they were I don't know, maybe there was a they would meeting each other

18:00 there to socialize at the pickleball court, so as well as playing pickleball,

18:03 because there was a lot of people then it was I'd take twenty people.

18:07 So it's like a swinger's thing. Is that what you're hinting? Boy?

18:08 So I don't know about Yeah, Well, depends what path of the mind

18:12 you want to go down. I thought it was very nice. Sold it's

18:15 a cult is what you're saying. No, no, no, no,

18:18 no, no no no. I think it's the place for people to go

18:22 that used to play tennis and now can't play tennis because you got bad feet,

18:26 orthopedic shoe, bad hip. So they shrunk it down. I don't

18:30 know who has the rights to actual pickleball, right, it's not like some

18:33 giant jar. They put their pedals in and they take a different pedal home.

18:36 Oh my, this is going bad now wow? Yeah, yeah,

18:40 yeah, but it was very nice to see people out playing pickleball. Yes,

18:45 and on the way home, I started humming playing pickleball. Like then

18:51 I caught up my friend. I got a great idea for a new project.

18:53 Let's do stuff about sports. Yeah, let's make fun of it,

18:57 but praise it at the same time. The friend that you worked on with

19:00 us, who is it? And is it the individual who you brought the

19:03 first time you were on the show. You brought someone with you know,

19:06 a different person who wants to remain anonymous, who I asked to call in.

19:11 Yeah, request the song, but yes, okay, and without this

19:14 individual my use You've heard music that I've done by myself. Sometimes it's questionable,

19:21 just just background tracks just to get some vocals over. Sure. On

19:25 this particular project, what I'm really proud of is the fact that it's actual

19:29 musical. There is some musical backbone to it, yeah, versus just crap

19:34 that I'll just pop on more worried about getting a whole bunch of recipe songs

19:41 out than actually worrying about how they actually are musically right, right, Okay,

19:45 So that's that's why I'm really pumped about this. Yeah, yeah,

19:48 this project. Let's uh, oh do you have to go? Yeah,

19:52 all right, I gotta get to work, Jesse Coffee. We have to

19:55 hear the pickleball though. That that's I was waiting for this. Yes,

19:57 I was. I was talked. He talked you up quite a bit.

20:00 While Yes, this is amazing. I'm like, I definitely want to hear

20:04 this because I'm I'm like Matt, I'm not a big sports person. But

20:10 if you can praise it and also make fun of it at the same time,

20:11 yeah, I can. I can appreciate the comedic humor, and that's

20:15 where that's where we're trying to go here with because like, I love comedic

20:18 music. I'm like a big fan of like Bo Burnham. You might might

20:22 know him. He's in kind of realm, so like the sports side is

20:26 needed. Yeah, but hopefully it will get some traction if I can.

20:30 Oh yeah, definitely say if you want to inspire me some more, you

20:34 can do one thing. Because being a bartender, beer tender anywhere, there's

20:38 always people that ask me like sports stuff, play sports everything. They're asking

20:41 me all these questions thinking I know stats and everything, and my only cop

20:45 out is I tell them my favorite team is the Harlem Globetrotters and they usually

20:48 get upset. You made a song about that forever. That's a great idea.

20:56 Uh, sports songs is getting ready, Now we have a song.

21:02 What was the other one? Pickle pickleball in a box? Okay, that's

21:07 two itself right now, there you go. I like this is brilliant.

21:14 But who's who do they play? The Generals played the Washington Generals all the

21:19 time. That always loses to them. Yeah yeah, yeah, Well,

21:25 thank you guys, all right, Jesse, thank you so much. All

21:27 right, Jesse Coffee leaves us a great job today. I think we should

21:32 play another track. What what what should we go with next? Rick?

21:34 Well, much as I hate to leave the pickle ball behind, but what's

21:41 how how's your feelings about like sideline reporters or halftime reports? Can we talk

21:48 about that for a second. When I think of sideline reporters, I think

21:51 of I don't know her name, but the incident years ago, just because

21:56 it made the regular news about when Joe Namath was drunk and was hitting aggressively

22:02 hitting on a sideline reporter. Yes, but should we should we play that

22:07 sideline reporter? All right? Let's uh, let's see so the song might

22:12 give us an idea of some of your feelings about them. Yes, all

22:18 right, big intellectual answer. All right, here it is. This is

22:22 a side sideline reporter by the great Ricky Mapleton. Let's check this out,

22:36 sub place over, Let's go to the sideline reporter talks to the athletes why

22:47 they try and catch their breath? What would be too without your inside,

22:52 your smile and faces, set your bright light, one step away, run

23:00 the announcers boom one of the state away and it's back to what what access

23:08 TV? Sideline water sideline quata that how with no help? Let's go do

23:19 a five lively pater? What I gonna say that you don't know? Side

23:30 like reporter thide live reporter, coach, do you think you're gonna have a

23:33 different strategy next half side like reporter thide live, reporter please side like reporter

23:45 thie live reporter one step away, run the announcers boom, one mistake away

23:56 and it's back to umble Access TV Sideline ATA Sideline reporta Howard No hell,

24:08 let's show that sideline report that you don't know sideline reporter from well with the

24:22 Joe Namath. What was her name? She was like the first female sideline

24:27 reporter. I don't I don't remember during the Howard Coast cell days. Oh

24:33 it was Howard Cosell Don Meredith. They were the Monday Night football team.

24:41 Yeah. With Howard, Monday Night football was huge. Yeah, and they

24:45 had a female sideline reporter, the first one that was big news. I

24:51 don't remember her name. She was an actress. Yeah, that was now

24:56 the the Howard CoA cell that we hear in. That is that AI generated?

25:00 That is myself generated. Oh okay, so that was your Howard co

25:03 Sell and press. That's my how what counts sounding pression? That's that's pretty

25:07 good. It's the only impression and I can do Mohammed look and good today.

25:15 That's good. That's really good, Jonathan F. George and the chat

25:18 says very catchy, very nice, very nice, thank you. Hey.

25:21 So if you're just joining us, Ricky Mapleton is here with us? And

25:23 why is it so the album is called Screamo scream O sports songs. Now

25:27 why why scream Oh? Because uh, some listeners might not know what the

25:30 term screamo means. It's just a genre of music that I like to pick

25:36 on. Yeah, it's a great a true scream Oh. If you look

25:40 up scream Oh the stuff some most of it is very angry, sounds like

25:44 they need counseling. Yeah, very it's eve set, it's emo, but

25:48 with screaming it's it's not people in dorm rooms complaining about breakups. It's more

25:52 people that's emo, right, yes, yeah, yeah, that sums it

41:30 Okay for people that there was the Beatles producer, and that's kind of

41:32 what he He's a little type a yeah, which I need desperately in my

41:37 creative endeavor. Someth really say that horrible dude? Again, good, just

41:44 keep things moving along. So this is probably like a three four month project,

41:49 working on it probably once a week maybe. Once we got to about

41:55 just go right. But the one of the first ones he did was Pickleball,
