Speaker 2: what's gonna make the song? At least have a little
Speaker 2: bit of a catch to it.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 1: Please, whatever criticisms I may have are purely constructive in nature.
Speaker 1: But I have to tell you, at the end of
Speaker 1: the song, I did not feel like I was any
Speaker 1: closer to understanding what the dilio is than I was
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the song. I don't feel that
Speaker 1: my questions were answered about the dilio and what is
Speaker 1: the dilio?
Speaker 2: That's fascinating.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm just saying, very good point.
Speaker 2: Let's expand off on that for a moment. What is
Speaker 2: the dillio? When somebody says what's the dilio, you're asking
Speaker 2: what's going on? Oh, what's happening?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: So hey, Matt, what's the dilio?
Speaker 1: Okay? I thought maybe this was some sort of foreign currency, like,
Speaker 1: uh oh, interesting, take like, what's the dilio doing compared
Speaker 1: to the dollar? You know, how are we looking?
Speaker 2: It's like, what's up?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: What's up? I thought?
Speaker 1: I thought maybe it was a new cryptocurrency or something,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, you know, get your dilio dollars,
Speaker 1: you know, fake money.
Speaker 2: Exist? What's the exchange rate on a dilio dollar? Well,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I still don't know after listening to the song. But
Speaker 1: I think I understand a little bit better now.
Speaker 2: Are you sure?
Speaker 1: I think so? I think?
Speaker 2: So you know what the dilio is?
Speaker 4: Well, I don't sure.
Speaker 2: I don't know that I do.
Speaker 12: Do you know what?
Speaker 4: I think I know what? And I don't know if
Speaker 4: he knows what the dilio is?
Speaker 2: What's what? What's what's the very the dilio is?
Speaker 4: Totally what's going on? It's totally like the deal.
Speaker 2: It sounds like a snack good to to me?
Speaker 1: Well, it actually does take a might work.
Speaker 4: That food is his language, so that might work.
Speaker 2: What's see it? Also?
Speaker 1: Unfortunately it sounds like something that if I looked it
Speaker 1: up on Urban Dictionary, I might be horrified at what.
Speaker 2: Matt, If you were going to make the diliouh cake
Speaker 2: like a funny bonus or a hostess whole ho, what's
Speaker 2: what's in the dillio?
Speaker 4: It doesn't make anything?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't make it would be your dream? Is
Speaker 2: there a healthy dilio? I would hope, So put the
Speaker 2: dilio with that?
Speaker 1: Maybe something gluten free?
Speaker 2: What do you what's your thoughts on fire? The word
Speaker 2: everybody that's fire. Oh, yes, that's fire. That's it. That
Speaker 2: one didn't make the kid believe it or not. No, Well,
Speaker 2: so now what do we have for volume two? Fire? Fire,
Speaker 2: I don't want to yellow.
Speaker 4: It didn't come out like that. In our day.
Speaker 2: It was fire fire. We were told not to say
Speaker 2: that in a movie theater.
Speaker 1: Well, that's that's true.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it takes on when I first heard the
Speaker 2: Z generation talking like, hey, that's fire, I'm like what yeah?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you want to be careful with that, especially in
Speaker 1: certain circumstances. Oh, we do have a call. We'll see Hi.

Speaker 12: from and will remind you of any relationship you had
Speaker 12: when your heart was torn out and your checkbook was missing.
Speaker 12: Let's reflect the graciousness of life and the hardship that
Speaker 12: love can be. This is mellow Marvin thanking Matt Connorton

Speaker 2: kind of different than all the other songs?
Speaker 1: Can I do that? Can I? Well? This song?

Speaker 2: on this one. Okay, it's not you know, I don't know.

Speaker 2: Went through the same thing that I think a lot
Speaker 2: of people go through that own pools now. If you
Speaker 2: ever owned a pool, Have you ever had a pool
Speaker 2: in your backyard.
Speaker 1: Or I've never I've never owned a pool.
Speaker 2: I mean, do you ever have a pool on your property.
Speaker 1: I've been in a pool?
Speaker 2: Well that let me. I recently was fortunate enough to
Speaker 2: purchase the house about nine years ago, okay, and it
Speaker 2: came with a pool. Okay, small pool in the back,
Speaker 2: not like the Olympic pools that you see in the seventies.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: And let me tell you in the wintertime, when my
Speaker 2: snowblower broke down, and I see my neighbor across the
Speaker 2: street with his beautiful Toro solar powered cop holding, and
Speaker 2: I'm out there shoveling because I can't afford a good
Speaker 2: snowball and I just broke down. Fine, fine, I'm over it.
Speaker 2: Can you tell him over it? This summer and this
Speaker 2: summer and last summer, somebody gonna knock him my door. Hey, hey, neighbor,
Speaker 2: can we can use your pool? Me and my wife
Speaker 2: look at each other like is this really happening? And
Speaker 2: I almost said, hey, snowblower guy. I try to live
Speaker 2: in a peaceful neighborhood. Yes, but that kind of twirked
Speaker 2: me the wrong way. But the carrying their show that
Speaker 2: Ricky Mapleton is sure, no problem. Good good opened up
Speaker 2: the gate. He comes and he comes in with this.
Speaker 2: He comes in with his grandkid and his older son. No,
Speaker 2: I got three people in my pool.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. He didn't tell you that up front.
Speaker 2: No, And then he did it two more times during
Speaker 2: the summer. And much like agnes I wrote, I wrote
Speaker 2: this song and rebellion for people that use other people's pools.
Speaker 2: And this is the most rock song on this album.
Speaker 2: Put your rock and roll on and you see something
Speaker 2: that you don't like, it's okay to say, get out
Speaker 2: of my pool. All right, let's here it all right,
Speaker 2: here's the upper building of.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 9: Here it is.
Speaker 6: You're using all the glory.
Speaker 7: I don't even know you.
Speaker 6: I only see you when it's hot.
Speaker 1: Out.
Speaker 9: Get out of my pool. Get out of my pool.
Speaker 9: I don't even know you. Get out of my pool.
Speaker 14: You're using up bubble colorine I've never seen when they're
Speaker 14: seven feet of stone aground.
Speaker 6: You're walking around with your beautiful stone blowers.
Speaker 9: Good out of my pool.
Speaker 6: I need your summer fool. I know what makes you truel.
Speaker 9: Why don't you get your own pool? Then you can
Speaker 9: be the fool.
Speaker 6: Why don't you just get out of my pool?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 1: Get out of My Rule by Ricky Mapleton. So Agnes
Speaker 1: inspired that.
Speaker 2: Agnes and my neighbor and people that come over. You
Speaker 2: know if you have a pool. When you have a pool,
Speaker 2: you spend a good amount of time keeping the pool clean,
Speaker 2: skimming the pool, vacuum me the pool, checking the pH
Speaker 2: of the pool, the chlorine, the pH up, the pH down.
Speaker 2: There's a lot that goes in to having a pool. Yes,
Speaker 2: so if somebody comes over and says, I want to
Speaker 2: get in your pool, you think they could shower a
Speaker 2: little bit. They looked a little bit disheveled, like they
Speaker 2: just painted their house and then jumped in my pool.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 2: So this is when you have something in life later
Speaker 2: and gentleman inspires you go for it. But do something
Speaker 2: positive with that energy.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: Wow, It's like Billy Ocean. Remember Billy Ocean. He had
Speaker 1: that song get out of my dreams, get into my car.
Speaker 2: Well that's kind of sketchy.
Speaker 1: Maybe it should have been get out of my dreams,
Speaker 1: get into my pool. You know, because he was inviting
Speaker 1: a lady.
Speaker 2: That's kind of yeah. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you know what I'm saying. So I think
Speaker 1: that's you know what I'm saying. That's a nice thing
Speaker 1: in that case. But what you're saying is, you know,
Speaker 1: something very frustrated.
Speaker 2: Oh but that's an analogy for a lot of stuff.
Speaker 2: Get out of my pool, Yes, you know, get out
Speaker 2: of my pool? Yes, yes, or like like, you're ruining
Speaker 2: my ride. You ever had that re question before?
Speaker 1: Oh? Absolutely right. I mean no one's ever said it
Speaker 1: to me, you're ruining my ride, but get out of
Speaker 1: my pool. But uh, I'm looking for a track to
Speaker 1: for when we close out the segment, because we played
Speaker 1: everything that you sent me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I what are you think?
Speaker 12: I like this?
Speaker 1: I like this song. You're turning into one of those

Speaker 1: of time, remind everybody where they can find uh the
Speaker 1: new album.
Speaker 2: Where it is up on YouTube, Spotify and all those
Speaker 2: other cool digital platforms that we can fortunately use now. Yes,
Speaker 2: because back in the day, back in the day, you
Speaker 2: could just stop get music and put it out even
Speaker 2: though it's out in a minuscule and you're a small
Speaker 2: piece of sand on the beach. At least it's out there, right,
Speaker 2: I don't have to get a record contract and get
Speaker 2: vinyl and you know what I'm saying, you know, like,
