12:12 Speaker 1: Oh sounds so good, so good. If you're just joining us,

12:15 Speaker 1: we have the pop farmers here live in studio and

12:18 Speaker 1: what has become an annual tradition here on the show.

12:21 Speaker 1: How many how many songs do you guys know as

12:23 Speaker 1: a as a band? How many can you? Can you

12:25 Speaker 1: even put a number on it?

12:27 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think our song list is I

12:29 Speaker 2: don't know, seventy eighty songs. But yeah, we we keep adding, well,

12:36 Speaker 2: we keep adding the Irish songs because there's so many

12:38 Speaker 2: Irish songs that. Yeah, every time we play people will say, hey,

12:41 Speaker 2: do you know Rocky Road to Dublin? Oh no, but

12:44 Speaker 2: we'll learn it and yeah, so then we have to

12:46 Speaker 2: add that to the list or whatever. But it's yeah,

12:49 Speaker 2: there's just so many Irish songs.

12:51 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, what what makes a song an Irish song?

12:54 Speaker 1: Is it just that it that that's where it is

12:57 Speaker 1: came from, or is it is it a little more

12:59 Speaker 1: of a genre ra or.

13:01 Speaker 2: We've turned We take Gary Sings a song by was

13:05 Speaker 2: it by the band mo and it's kind of like

13:08 Speaker 2: a jam band song, but they we turned into it

13:11 Speaker 2: sounds Irish to us, so we turned it into an

13:13 Speaker 2: Irish song. So is anything that we can we can

13:16 Speaker 2: make it into an Irish song if.

13:18 Speaker 1: We have to yeah, yeah, no, that makes sense. That

13:20 Speaker 1: makes sense. Are there any that have been particularly challenging

13:24 Speaker 1: to learn or are they all kind of pretty straightforward?

13:27 Speaker 6: Well?

13:27 Speaker 2: They a lot of them have lots of words in them,

13:29 Speaker 2: So chord wise, there's only like usually like three chords. Yeah,

13:33 Speaker 2: but song lyric wise, they just and if you look

13:37 Speaker 2: them up online, there might be like if you do

13:40 Speaker 2: one song, there'll be like five different versions that have

13:44 Speaker 2: all these different verses, and like we'll be singing a

13:48 Speaker 2: song and I'll look out and somebody will be looking

13:50 Speaker 2: crazy and it's like, huh, I didn't know there was

13:53 Speaker 2: another verse there, right, right, But there's Yeah, some of

13:56 Speaker 2: them are really wordy, which is the blurny.

13:59 Speaker 1: I guess that makes sense because because I think I

14:02 Speaker 1: think we talked about this last time too, A lot

14:04 Speaker 1: of these songs they tend to have stories. Yeah, so

14:06 Speaker 1: they so they tend to be a lot of verses.

14:08 Speaker 2: Yeah, it takes a while.

14:10 Speaker 1: Is there a song that has like more verses than

14:12 Speaker 1: any other song, Like one that like has like five

14:14 Speaker 1: or six verses and it's just like, wow, well there's.

14:18 Speaker 13: That Seven Old Ladies or something. Yeah, yeah, at least

14:21 Speaker 13: seven verses to that, you know, yeah.

14:24 Speaker 2: Seven drunken nights. We used to do that and we

14:27 Speaker 2: had another guy who would sing it and he would

14:30 Speaker 2: stop singing after like the fourth night because we're not

14:33 Speaker 2: going to skip ahead the Sunday because yeah, it just

14:35 Speaker 2: takes forever. Twelve days of question. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

14:39 Speaker 2: you're start in the middle.

14:41 Speaker 1: That makes sense, That makes sense. You guys want to

14:42 Speaker 1: play another one him? Dine here more sure?

14:44 Speaker 2: Before we do, though, I want to just say Tyler's

14:47 Speaker 2: with us today. Tyler was in the pop Farmers for

20:13 Speaker 6: Yeah.

20:14 Speaker 2: Megan McGirk, who used we play at mcgirk's at Out

20:17 Speaker 2: of the Beach every every summer, and we do. We're

20:23 Speaker 2: there this summer and Megan's one of the mcgirk's and she, uh,

20:27 Speaker 2: the mcgirth McGirk family has always been great to us too,

20:29 Speaker 2: so they hired us to play this function. Yeah, so

20:33 Speaker 2: that's going to be tonight. Yeah, it's been a long while. Yeah,

20:37 Speaker 2: it's started off every Saturday, every Saturday, and they like

20:42 Speaker 2: this because we would play they had all all Irish music,

20:45 Speaker 2: but they're like, I don't know if people want to

20:47 Speaker 2: hear Irish music for three hours, So we can play

20:50 Speaker 2: as much or little as Irish music. So we would

20:52 Speaker 2: we would play a bunch and then we play our

20:54 Speaker 2: regular cover rock bands, you know, bar band stuff, and

20:57 Speaker 2: then go back to Irish stuff. So if they wanted

21:00 Speaker 2: more Irish, we could play it. If they want less Irish,

21:02 Speaker 2: we could play it. So we don't we don't have

21:04 Speaker 2: to play like some bars. We don't play many Irish songs. Yeah,

21:07 Speaker 2: just throw in a couple that we like and do

21:10 Speaker 2: the regular bar bands right right.

21:12 Speaker 1: It's so and I know we talk about this every year,

21:15 Speaker 1: but where does the name pop Farmers come from? Because

21:18 Speaker 1: it's such a cool name.

21:19 Speaker 2: Well, we were we when Jimmy and I started the band,

21:22 Speaker 2: and we were we were initially uh naughty pine A

21:28 Speaker 2: n A U g h T y, and after a

21:30 Speaker 2: while we were like, I don't know if this this

21:32 Speaker 2: fits us. So we were playing at the time a

21:34 Speaker 2: lot of what we thought, well is power pop songs. Yeah,

21:37 Speaker 2: and there's this band that I always like called the

21:39 Speaker 2: beat Farmers spelled b E A T. So the Beat

21:41 Speaker 2: Farmers are like, oh, we could be the pop Farmers.

21:44 Speaker 2: And I thought these guys, I thought they would hate

21:45 Speaker 2: the name so but they liked it, so we're kind

21:47 Speaker 2: of stuck with it. Yeah, but people think we're it's

21:49 Speaker 2: pot Farmers. We just have to pronounce it differently. It's

21:52 Speaker 2: like we always say we're not pot Farmers because we'd

21:55 Speaker 2: probably make more money and maybe dress better, but we

21:59 Speaker 2: it's the pop Farmers. We're We're kind of stuck with it,

22:01 Speaker 2: but it works for us.

22:02 Speaker 1: That's part of what's cool about the name too. Yeah,

22:04 Speaker 1: it's kind of a play on yeah, you know platform, Yeah, we.

22:06 Speaker 2: Get that, and that initially wasn't what I thought of,

22:09 Speaker 2: but it was like, but it works and it gets

22:12 Speaker 2: people's attention, So.

22:13 Speaker 1: Yeah, what's for Absolutely absolutely, And then like, do you

28:52 Speaker 1: Wonderful. We've got the pop farmers here with us live

28:55 Speaker 1: in studio. That was great. I don't remember hearing that

28:58 Speaker 1: one before.

28:58 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's when we we we we sometimes gets out

29:02 Speaker 2: of our our set list and then we bring it back.

29:04 Speaker 2: So I don't think we played it live since last

29:06 Speaker 2: Saint Patrick's Day. So that's why I was a little

29:08 Speaker 2: rusty at the beginning. Oh it'll come back.

29:11 Speaker 1: Oh I gotcha, I gotcha. No, that makes sense.

29:13 Speaker 2: Some of the songs stay in this in this rotation.

29:15 Speaker 2: Some of them get kind of pushed them aside and

29:17 Speaker 2: come out once a year. But we want to keep

29:19 Speaker 2: that one in. That's a fun one.

29:21 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, I like that. Well, yeah, like you

29:23 Speaker 1: were saying earlier, you've got like what eighty songs that

29:25 Speaker 1: you know? Yeah, I mean that's a lot, plenty to rotate,

29:28 Speaker 1: plenty to rotate, and a lot to remember.

29:30 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is kind of a lot, but we we

29:33 Speaker 2: want to get some more, so we got to keep practicing.

29:37 Speaker 1: That's that's incredible. That's incredible.

29:39 Speaker 2: Phi.

29:40 Speaker 1: Yeah, and since we last talked, so last year, obviously

29:44 Speaker 1: you guys had a bunch of shows. Any anything interesting

29:48 Speaker 1: happened or anything, any wild stories or anything or was

29:52 Speaker 1: it pretty much business as usual?

29:54 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's we had a spot where we weren't playing

29:57 Speaker 2: too often, but we're getting back into it more. When

30:00 Speaker 2: Phil joined on, you know, we got him caught all

30:02 Speaker 2: caught up and Phil's Phil's awesome, so we uh we

30:07 Speaker 2: it's kind of it's every time the guitar players player

30:11 Speaker 2: see changes, it kind of takes in a little new,

30:13 Speaker 2: little direction. Like Phil, we have like to tell us

30:16 Speaker 2: that we were playing once at the Peddler's daughter and

30:19 Speaker 2: we're older guys except for Phil feels young and uh

30:23 Speaker 2: some young you know, twenty something girls saying can you

30:25 Speaker 2: guys play something new? We're kind of old. We don't

30:29 Speaker 2: know a lot of new songs, but I remember Phil's young,

30:31 Speaker 2: he knows some new songs, so right, so Phil brings

30:34 Speaker 2: us some of some of the newer songs, so yeah

30:36 Speaker 2: it makes sense. Yeah, we're mostly classic rock guys, but

30:39 Speaker 2: Phil brings the uh the young stuff.

30:42 Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, he's a busy guy too.

30:44 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's got this. Him and I were actually
