Pulley's Scott Radinsky on Their Upcoming Split EP with Fire Sale, Being in Pulley for 40+ Years

hey, hey, thanks for checking out this episode of the Ropes and Riffs podcast.

2

00:00:15,327 --> 00:00:18,767

My name is Jon, I am your wrestling entrance theme song composer here.

3

00:00:18,767 --> 00:00:22,027

And today I've got a legend on the show, not me.

4

00:00:22,027 --> 00:00:24,347

I'm not the legend, but you know who the legend is?

5

00:00:24,347 --> 00:00:26,207

Scott Radinski of Pulley.

6

00:00:26,207 --> 00:00:27,607

The band's been around 40 years.

7

00:00:27,607 --> 00:00:30,707

They've got a new split record coming out with Fire Sale.

8

00:00:30,707 --> 00:00:32,307

It's gonna be coming out September 5th.

9

00:00:32,307 --> 00:00:38,788

And Scott was able to take a couple of minutes today to be able to talk about the concept

of the songs that they provided to it.

10

00:00:38,788 --> 00:00:45,804

what makes Pulley's 40-year success attainable and talk about how they're brothers in the

industry.

11

00:00:45,804 --> 00:00:51,307

And obviously we ask what three songs would represent him as we ask every guest on the

show,

12

00:00:51,307 --> 00:00:56,068

and I can't wait for you guys to hear the musicians that Scott would put in the squared

circle to duke it out.

13

00:00:56,068 --> 00:00:59,008

So without any further ado, let's jump into it with Scott Radinsky of Pulleys.

20

00:01:25,849 --> 00:01:29,739

The man, the myth, legend, Scott Radinsky here with us in the house from the band Pulley.

21

00:01:29,739 --> 00:01:31,072

How you doing my friend?

22

00:01:31,072 --> 00:01:32,440

I'm doing great, how are you?

23

00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:37,092

is quite the day as we say, but I didn't mean for that to rhyme, but it did.

24

00:01:37,092 --> 00:01:41,904

You're the lyricist, not me, but we both talk in our own respective ways, right?

25

00:01:41,904 --> 00:01:43,825

So thank you so much for joining us today.

26

00:01:43,825 --> 00:01:50,068

We're joined on a few days out from the pulley fire sale split record that's coming out.

27

00:01:50,068 --> 00:01:58,295

Tell us a little bit about that, because I have been a fan of pulley for so many years

now, and you guys have put out so many records, you've worked with so many people,

28

00:01:58,295 --> 00:02:01,396

for you guys to be able to put a split out with fire sale.

29

00:02:01,396 --> 00:02:03,716

Talk to us a little bit about how that came to be.

30

00:02:03,716 --> 00:02:05,644

And then we'll get into some of the songs.

31

00:02:05,644 --> 00:02:10,710

All right, it's always exciting when you're putting together new music and getting ready

to have some sort of release.

32

00:02:10,710 --> 00:02:18,948

When Chris, the guitar player, reached out through an email asking if we had any interest,

it was a no-brainer for us.

33

00:02:18,948 --> 00:02:20,729

And we said, yeah, of course.

34

00:02:20,729 --> 00:02:27,546

And we didn't exactly have songs ready to go, but we've always got ideas in kind of like

the vault.

35

00:02:27,546 --> 00:02:30,049

And so when we were pushed to have a reason,

36

00:02:30,049 --> 00:02:31,879

They said, hey, we're going to each do two songs.

37

00:02:31,879 --> 00:02:33,390

It was like, all right, cool.

38

00:02:33,390 --> 00:02:39,973

We can dig into the batch of stuff we have and come up with some ideas or rearrange some

ideas and make some music out of it.

39

00:02:39,973 --> 00:02:49,816

And that's always the exciting part about when you're in a band and you get to create and

write and then go through the recording process and see the whole thing come to fruition

40

00:02:49,816 --> 00:02:52,106

and get put out and have people listen to it.

41

00:02:52,106 --> 00:02:54,057

So it's super exciting.

42

00:02:54,057 --> 00:02:57,398

mean, whether it's a full length, one song, two songs, doesn't really matter.

43

00:02:57,398 --> 00:02:59,268

Anytime you get to put out new music.

44

00:02:59,708 --> 00:03:00,497

It's a good thing.

45

00:03:00,497 --> 00:03:07,597

And I love the fact too that you're just like, Hey, we might not have had as many songs in

the chamber as like maybe going in for a full release or something like that.

46

00:03:07,597 --> 00:03:10,158

But you guys, again, are legends in the industry.

47

00:03:10,158 --> 00:03:12,278

You guys have so much music that you've written.

48

00:03:12,278 --> 00:03:18,318

I feel like if someone comes to you and says, Hey, let's go ahead and put some music down

for you, for the rest of the band.

49

00:03:18,318 --> 00:03:19,778

It's almost like, all right, cool.

50

00:03:19,778 --> 00:03:21,418

We got it.

51

00:03:21,565 --> 00:03:23,046

Yeah, mean, that's true.

52

00:03:23,046 --> 00:03:24,697

That's exactly how it works.

53

00:03:24,697 --> 00:03:28,617

I don't think that makes us any different than any other band.

54

00:03:28,697 --> 00:03:32,908

It's just that motivation factor of, we're going to record, we're going to put something

out.

55

00:03:32,908 --> 00:03:40,008

And it's kind of like, even when you're getting ready for a full length, you've got 12, 15

songs you're going over for months and months.

56

00:03:40,008 --> 00:03:45,096

The second you get in the studio or the week before you get in the studio, it's like,

57

00:03:45,232 --> 00:03:52,671

the switch turns on and you elevate your game to another level and it's exciting man, it's

fun, it's a good thrill.

58

00:03:52,671 --> 00:03:59,445

And so talk to us a little bit about some of the songs, on the split you have torn apart

by time and you have write a note if you leave.

59

00:03:59,445 --> 00:04:05,417

you know, when you talk to artists who are putting out albums with, you know, 10, 11, 12

songs, it's like, Hey, let's pick and choose the conversation.

60

00:04:05,417 --> 00:04:09,329

But with the split, I think we can get kind of detailed with each of the songs.

61

00:04:09,329 --> 00:04:13,980

So take us a little bit between writing a torn apart by time and how that one came up.

62

00:04:14,355 --> 00:04:24,312

torn apart by time was basically just some riffs that that were kind of arranged and and

the way me and our guitar player Mike work is I might like hum something over the phone to

63

00:04:24,312 --> 00:04:33,592

him and he'll start to play it and we kind of figured out that way and So we had the music

I started writing lyrics and we kind of had that song done lyrically

64

00:04:37,025 --> 00:04:35,201

the interpretation to the listener.

65

00:04:35,201 --> 00:04:46,031

The way we write, unless it's really hitting home on a specific meaning as the other song

was, we kind of write in a way where it kind of just leaves a little bit of a gray area

66

00:04:46,031 --> 00:04:50,291

where you might interpret it one way, someone else might interpret it another.

67

00:04:50,511 --> 00:04:55,532

And there's enough substance there to give you a direction, but there's not too much

68

00:04:55,532 --> 00:04:59,654

that says you can't go down this path and you can't go down that path.

69

00:04:59,654 --> 00:05:07,550

That's kind of almost like a conscious, I know people like to have a story and they have

to have something behind a song and maybe sometimes people might say, that person, and I'm

70

00:05:07,550 --> 00:05:13,244

not saying me, but just in general, obviously can refer to me, but those lyrics don't make

any sense.

71

00:05:13,244 --> 00:05:15,645

Well, all lyrics make sense.

72

00:05:15,725 --> 00:05:21,408

And if you look at them line by line, and since I started really getting into this years

ago,

73

00:05:21,408 --> 00:05:23,030

You start looking at it line by line.

74

00:05:23,030 --> 00:05:25,682

You can take pieces out of a song however you want.

75

00:05:25,682 --> 00:05:27,779

There might be 15 different meanings.

76

00:05:27,779 --> 00:05:29,956

It might be talking about 15 different people.

77

00:05:29,956 --> 00:05:31,361

It might be talking about yourself.

78

00:05:31,361 --> 00:05:36,185

It might be talking about the, you know, there's just so much gray area.

79

00:05:36,185 --> 00:05:40,529

And Torn Apart by Time, would say lyrically, is probably a song like that.

80

00:05:40,529 --> 00:05:46,303

Musically, it's a lot of riffs that are kind of all over the place that you kind of

harness together.

81

00:05:46,579 --> 00:05:50,692

and make some kind of structure out of it where it's a sensible song.

82

00:05:50,692 --> 00:05:52,153

I might not be asking your question.

83

00:05:52,153 --> 00:05:54,554

I might be going down a long road here.

84

00:05:54,554 --> 00:06:01,984

yeah, I mean, I can't really say much about the song other than it's just one of those

songs where take it how you take it.

85

00:06:01,984 --> 00:06:02,495

I love it.

86

00:06:02,495 --> 00:06:11,099

But I love too how like, you know, when I kind of see the write up for it, when we get the

PR releases, when we get to listen to the music, it's like, you kind of get a little bit

87

00:06:11,099 --> 00:06:13,181

of a concept when you're doing a quick listen back.

88

00:06:13,181 --> 00:06:20,185

And I felt like with that song, at least for me, what uh I took from it was kind of be in

the moment.

89

00:06:20,185 --> 00:06:23,607

You know, we have so many things that go on in life.

90

00:06:23,607 --> 00:06:27,509

We have so many things that we have kids, have jobs, we have responsibilities.

91

00:06:27,509 --> 00:06:29,720

You know, we have all these different things that we do.

92

00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:37,498

but you get this sense of like something you have to figure out how to create that time

for yourself and be able to just kind of be in the moment with the things that really mean

93

00:06:37,498 --> 00:06:38,231

a lot to you.

94

00:06:38,231 --> 00:06:39,573

That's a really good take on it.

95

00:06:39,573 --> 00:06:41,335

I haven't personally thought of it that way.

96

00:06:41,335 --> 00:06:53,316

There was moments when I was scribbling words together where thinking being in a band for

40 plus years and how the evolution of that changes and how here we are in the moment, as

97

00:06:53,316 --> 00:06:57,156

you would say, 40 years later, kind of torn apart by the time.

98

00:06:57,156 --> 00:06:58,346

It's like...

99

00:06:58,346 --> 00:07:04,897

where people got families, have full-time jobs, we try to be in a band, we try to tour,

there's just a lot going on.

100

00:07:04,897 --> 00:07:10,168

I have never thought of it that way, but being in the moment is where we all need to be.

101

00:07:10,168 --> 00:07:10,958

I love that.

102

00:07:10,958 --> 00:07:12,599

And you you, you touched on it too.

103

00:07:12,599 --> 00:07:21,262

The fact that you've been a band for 40 plus years and you know, you've done everything

from MLB to being in the band to being in multiple bands also.

104

00:07:21,262 --> 00:07:31,436

for you to have this longevity in pulley, we have so many bands that exist for maybe five,

10 years, even shorter times, some bands that go on to have these illustrious careers,

105

00:07:31,436 --> 00:07:31,988

right?

106

00:07:31,988 --> 00:07:36,812

But for you, what's the most important thing about being in a band that has this longevity

to it?

107

00:07:36,812 --> 00:07:42,112

I mean, I think it's like any long-term relationship, it's the people you're with.

108

00:07:42,112 --> 00:07:49,215

first and foremost, I mean, that's probably the most grateful thing is to be with people

that you actually enjoy being with.

109

00:07:49,215 --> 00:07:54,098

I can honestly call the people in my band friends.

110

00:07:54,098 --> 00:08:00,875

quite a few of the members we've been, dated back to the 80s when we were in high school,

you know, sitting on the quad at lunchtime.

111

00:08:00,875 --> 00:08:06,873

you know, talking about this moment 40 years later, talking about it, you know, 40 years

ago.

112

00:08:06,873 --> 00:08:19,542

And to be able to actually have the persistency and the determination to continue to just,

we were very fortunate to start off on a record label that was, I mean, the best record

113

00:08:19,542 --> 00:08:23,734

label there could possibly be in our genre, our scene to be on.

114

00:08:23,734 --> 00:08:27,147

And there's no doubt that that helped get the name out there and helped.

115

00:08:27,147 --> 00:08:37,959

kickstart Allow us to do what we did but you know that was really only the first ten years

of being in a band and So the last 20 plus years of pulling it's determination The fact

116

00:08:37,959 --> 00:08:47,463

that we like each other we get along if you went to a gig and there was you know four

bands on the bill and there was four Backstages if you walked into our backstage, you're

117

00:08:47,463 --> 00:08:49,793

gonna see five guys hanging out together

118

00:08:49,793 --> 00:08:52,273

We don't, it's not like we're sitting partying and drinking or whatever.

119

00:08:52,273 --> 00:08:58,873

We're hanging out together and we might even be rehearsing for the show, but we get along

and we don't mind being together.

120

00:08:58,873 --> 00:09:01,113

So that is a huge part.

121

00:09:01,293 --> 00:09:10,424

And I think the fact that the whole, the model behind it, whole way the whole thing

started from day one always has been, we just want to have fun.

122

00:09:10,464 --> 00:09:13,875

And everybody starts playing in a band to have fun.

123

00:09:13,875 --> 00:09:16,777

Some people want to take it to another level and I think

124

00:09:16,777 --> 00:09:26,577

It's so difficult and such a challenge to make it as a band and make it a successful

career that people get to a point where they're all in and then they get to a point where

125

00:09:26,577 --> 00:09:27,937

it's like, hey, we can't do this anymore.

126

00:09:27,937 --> 00:09:29,517

I gotta start my life.

127

00:09:29,517 --> 00:09:30,397

I gotta get a job.

128

00:09:30,397 --> 00:09:38,539

And I think that's one route that a lot of bands go where they end up breaking up,

fighting arguments, non-compatibility.

129

00:09:38,539 --> 00:09:43,080

So I think definitely for me, not to be long-winded with it, but

130

00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,853

It's just the getting along factor.

131

00:09:45,853 --> 00:09:51,049

think that's the hugest part of what our existence and longevity can be related

132

00:09:51,461 --> 00:09:57,714

And I think everybody who's been in a band that long or anybody who's continued to do this

at the level that you guys do says the same thing.

133

00:09:57,714 --> 00:09:58,478

They're like, you know what?

134

00:09:58,478 --> 00:09:59,999

I still call people my brothers.

135

00:09:59,999 --> 00:10:01,040

still call them my friends.

136

00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,663

still are, you know, at the core of it.

137

00:10:03,663 --> 00:10:05,474

That's what really ties everybody together.

138

00:10:05,474 --> 00:10:07,666

Like the music is the music, the business is the business.

139

00:10:07,666 --> 00:10:11,870

But if you don't have that relationship with the people, then it's the hardest thing to

do.

140

00:10:11,870 --> 00:10:12,060

Right.

141

00:10:12,060 --> 00:10:17,125

It's the hardest thing to be able to get on stage, write music and be kind of with people

and.

142

00:10:17,125 --> 00:10:20,126

I know for me, any projects I've been in, it's been the same exact thing.

143

00:10:20,126 --> 00:10:27,188

know, life may take you by and may do other things, but at the same time, if you're able

to lock in and you're able to be, I get going back to the point, right?

144

00:10:27,188 --> 00:10:30,919

In the moment with those people, and these are people you really enjoy being in the moment

with.

145

00:10:30,919 --> 00:10:33,559

I think that there's something really important about that.

146

00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:44,023

And that brings us to the next song, which is write a note if you leave, which by the way,

in terms of lyric choices, obviously mint, but in terms of title choices, stellar.

147

00:10:44,023 --> 00:10:45,854

I'd love for you to take us through a little bit.

148

00:10:45,854 --> 00:10:53,510

I know it's a bit esoteric, like you said, but what were some of the things that you were

thinking when you were putting together lyrics for this song?

149

00:10:53,974 --> 00:11:04,478

Well, lyrically this song was written by Mike the guitar player and it's a pretty personal

song to him and it really does have a meaning behind it.

150

00:11:04,478 --> 00:11:15,554

His mom was going through a tough time and she was really sick and he basically is writing

about the last moments he shared with her and his life growing up and reflecting on

151

00:11:15,554 --> 00:11:19,010

memories that he had throughout his childhood and leading up

152

00:11:19,010 --> 00:11:23,092

to being in the moment when he's sitting on the side of a bed, you know, in those last

moments.

153

00:11:23,092 --> 00:11:28,576

And, you know, it's a really personal song and I probably am not the one to really

elaborate on it.

154

00:11:28,576 --> 00:11:37,088

But I was involved in collaborating with him, you know, with some lines and trying to make

some of the structure make sense for me vocally.

155

00:11:37,088 --> 00:11:43,130

And, you know, that's one thing that I'm super grateful working with a guy like him is we

understand

156

00:11:43,161 --> 00:11:54,258

when we're writing a song, and it's not to be selfish as a singer, but the songs are based

around vocal melody, at least our styles, based around vocal melody and some kind of

157

00:11:54,258 --> 00:11:56,820

consistency and structure.

158

00:11:56,820 --> 00:12:01,864

you know, when someone presents a song, my first question is, yeah, it's great.

159

00:12:01,864 --> 00:12:02,845

The music sounds great.

160

00:12:02,845 --> 00:12:04,025

What would you sing over that?

161

00:12:04,025 --> 00:12:05,727

Because I might not hear it.

162

00:12:05,727 --> 00:12:07,438

And if they're like, well, what do you mean?

163

00:12:07,438 --> 00:12:08,879

Just sing something.

164

00:12:08,879 --> 00:12:09,580

It's catchy.

165

00:12:09,580 --> 00:12:10,630

It's melody.

166

00:12:10,655 --> 00:12:11,657

It's not that easy.

167

00:12:11,657 --> 00:12:16,001

I'm not that good to just be like, snap my finger and come up with this great hook.

168

00:12:16,001 --> 00:12:23,597

So as we start from the very beginning and we start writing the music, hum me what you're

hearing.

169

00:12:23,597 --> 00:12:25,198

And he starts humming something.

170

00:12:25,198 --> 00:12:26,590

We didn't have lyrics.

171

00:12:26,590 --> 00:12:28,901

And we start to kind of collaborate on the words.

172

00:12:28,901 --> 00:12:34,057

But that song is pretty personal and it's relatively hits home.

173

00:12:34,057 --> 00:12:36,715

This was just, I think, a few years ago that...

174

00:12:36,715 --> 00:12:52,115

he had to go through this and you know it was a really tough time and it's personal

heartfelt song and it did help being able to be involved at some point to write some of

175

00:12:52,115 --> 00:13:05,806

lyrics and help create some of the phrasing so that I could be involved and I could be

connected to the song even though it wasn't me personally who was feeling those feelings.

176

00:13:05,806 --> 00:13:14,790

Being able to help create it gets me enough involvement to be connected to the song and

feel like it's coming out of my heart too.

177

00:13:14,790 --> 00:13:17,612

So it's kind of like, guess, acting in a role.

178

00:13:17,612 --> 00:13:25,615

We have to play that part and you really dig deep into what's being said and try to make

that come out and have some feeling and meaning from your own self.

179

00:13:25,615 --> 00:13:28,037

And that's kind of where I'm at with that song.

180

00:13:28,037 --> 00:13:30,949

love too where you brought up the collaborative part of it though too.

181

00:13:30,949 --> 00:13:37,162

And I think a lot of bands sometimes it's like, hey, I'm the singer, so I deal with all

the melodies of the vocals and all the lyrics.

182

00:13:37,162 --> 00:13:39,083

I'm the guitarist, so I deal with the riffs, right?

183

00:13:39,083 --> 00:13:41,185

And now shall they connect, right?

184

00:13:41,185 --> 00:13:43,466

Or now shall they cross streams, right?

185

00:13:43,466 --> 00:13:48,379

But I feel like that's been one of the things with you guys for years that's been such a

stronghold, right?

186

00:13:48,379 --> 00:13:56,165

Is this collaborative process, is the ability to kind of reach across and say, you know

what, if you've got this and we can, and you already have a bit of a concept.

187

00:13:56,165 --> 00:14:00,539

Let's go ahead and build that together because again, it just, really ties together.

188

00:14:00,539 --> 00:14:02,872

Like, Hey, you're going to be the one singing it, but it's your message.

189

00:14:02,872 --> 00:14:09,058

And if there is a way that I can help bring that to light in the best way that I can and

vice versa, then I think we can really do that.

190

00:14:09,058 --> 00:14:11,590

And you know, I think bands work differently too.

191

00:14:11,590 --> 00:14:15,324

Some are very melodically driven, some are lyrically driven, and then you kind of fit it

to that.

192

00:14:15,324 --> 00:14:20,613

It sounds like you guys have such a good hold on being collaborative in a band and

193

00:14:20,613 --> 00:14:24,844

I think that comes to what you were saying earlier where it's like, hey, we really respect

each other.

194

00:14:24,844 --> 00:14:28,262

We're brothers, we're friends, and we want to do right by each other.

195

00:14:28,734 --> 00:14:32,303

Yeah, mean, for sure, we want to do right by each other.

196

00:14:32,303 --> 00:14:34,169

I mean, there's no doubt in that.

197

00:14:34,169 --> 00:14:37,191

And there's no egos, which is huge.

198

00:14:37,191 --> 00:14:42,254

And I think that reflects on what you were saying with the collaboration part of it.

199

00:14:42,254 --> 00:14:45,217

It's taken a long time to figure out the formula.

200

00:14:45,217 --> 00:14:48,359

And I think we're OK with that.

201

00:14:48,359 --> 00:14:50,720

think some of the people that maybe

202

00:14:50,740 --> 00:14:55,309

And I don't want to use the word contribute because that would be short selling them.

203

00:14:55,309 --> 00:15:02,062

But if it's two people getting in a room and hashing over ideas and then presenting that

to the band, you know.

204

00:15:02,062 --> 00:15:06,826

or then it's two other people coming up with ideas and they're presenting that to the

band, it works.

205

00:15:06,826 --> 00:15:09,770

And like I said, it's taken a long time to figure out the formula.

206

00:15:09,770 --> 00:15:12,682

We don't have a single songwriter, so to speak.

207

00:15:12,682 --> 00:15:18,499

We do have times when I might write a complete song, might write a complete song, know,

lyrically and musically.

208

00:15:18,499 --> 00:15:23,283

But it's never complete in the way I started out.

209

00:15:23,283 --> 00:15:25,755

Because once I present it to everybody,

210

00:15:26,100 --> 00:15:29,933

Tyler, the bass player, will have a suggestion, hey, let's extend this part, let's do

that.

211

00:15:29,933 --> 00:15:32,635

And we start to collaborate on an idea.

212

00:15:32,635 --> 00:15:35,659

So it's not, like I said, a single person's piece of work.

213

00:15:35,659 --> 00:15:45,917

So it's taken a while, and by no means are we perfecting it or saying we ever have or ever

will, but for us it works.

214

00:15:45,917 --> 00:15:47,858

And we're proud of what we do.

215

00:15:47,905 --> 00:15:55,824

Like I said, it's taken a while to figure it out and thank God we've had the opportunity

to withstand each other for a long enough time to get to this point.

216

00:15:55,824 --> 00:15:59,405

See, you won't say you perfected it, but being around 40 years, I can say it.

217

00:15:59,405 --> 00:16:00,345

You don't have to say it.

218

00:16:00,345 --> 00:16:00,825

I will.

219

00:16:00,825 --> 00:16:04,326

I think you guys have done a great job in bringing that to the forefront.

220

00:16:04,326 --> 00:16:07,667

So, you know, it's really interesting and I love the story.

221

00:16:07,667 --> 00:16:12,969

And again, the lyrics, the conversation we're having, it's all about really that

community.

222

00:16:12,969 --> 00:16:16,390

You know, it's really about like you guys being in that moment.

223

00:16:16,390 --> 00:16:19,922

And I'm going to keep going back to that because that's something I really love in this

conversation.

224

00:16:19,922 --> 00:16:23,073

a couple more things before I let you go, my friend.

225

00:16:23,073 --> 00:16:23,985

And this is...

226

00:16:23,985 --> 00:16:28,599

a staple of this show as we talk about some things with wrestling, some things with music.

227

00:16:28,599 --> 00:16:37,509

So if you had to book three wrestling matches, one man versus man, one tag team and one

women's match,

228

00:16:37,509 --> 00:16:42,667

and all of the participants only were musicians wrestling in the squared circle.

229

00:16:42,667 --> 00:16:45,632

What matches would you make and who would win?

230

00:16:45,632 --> 00:16:46,753

Wow.

231

00:16:46,753 --> 00:16:50,456

So I have to pick musicians to be the wrestlers.

232

00:16:52,079 --> 00:16:53,781

And I got to pick a tag team first.

233

00:16:53,781 --> 00:16:54,211

Okay.

234

00:16:54,211 --> 00:16:55,642

I'm definitely going.

235

00:16:55,642 --> 00:17:00,227

Fletcher from Pennywise and the big bitch from Lag Wagon.

236

00:17:00,889 --> 00:17:01,421

Yeah.

237

00:17:01,421 --> 00:17:06,079

so for my singles match, I'd probably take Henry Rollins.

238

00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:15,922

Henry Rollins versus Tesco via the meat men And For my women's Man, I some good choices,

huh?

239

00:17:15,922 --> 00:17:23,796

I'm definitely going Olga from this band called Svetlana's I don't know if you ever heard

of them, but people look them up And who would she go against let me find a good

240

00:17:23,796 --> 00:17:27,649

challenger can I pick somebody that's no longer with us

241

00:17:27,649 --> 00:17:28,689

You absolutely can.

242

00:17:28,689 --> 00:17:31,233

How about Windy O'Williams of the Plasmatics?

243

00:17:31,233 --> 00:17:31,797

All right.

244

00:17:31,797 --> 00:17:32,321

man.

245

00:17:32,321 --> 00:17:33,014

That's a good one.

246

00:17:33,014 --> 00:17:33,507

That's also.

247

00:17:33,507 --> 00:17:37,310

would be a good visual to watch too, you know?

248

00:17:37,604 --> 00:17:40,341

See, now I gotta ask you who goes over in all of those.

249

00:17:40,341 --> 00:17:41,492

my gosh.

250

00:17:41,534 --> 00:17:44,107

Henry Rollins, I like just goes over no matter what.

251

00:17:44,107 --> 00:17:57,344

Yeah, before the match even starts oh I'd take Fletcher and Chris from lagwa I take those

guys over anybody so you can choose whoever you want to challenge them and between Wendell

252

00:17:57,344 --> 00:18:00,827

Williams and Olga I Don't know man.

253

00:18:00,827 --> 00:18:01,959

We might have to go tie.

254

00:18:01,959 --> 00:18:03,512

Is there such a thing in wrestling?

255

00:18:03,512 --> 00:18:06,135

You can go to a draw, but then they usually do a breaker later.

256

00:18:06,135 --> 00:18:07,628

So usually they'll have a draw.

257

00:18:07,628 --> 00:18:10,452

It drew us out into a story and then they have a one on one later.

258

00:18:10,452 --> 00:18:11,263

love that.

259

00:18:11,263 --> 00:18:12,906

So we got, we got to draw.

260

00:18:12,906 --> 00:18:14,448

Well, you guys figure out who wins.

261

00:18:14,448 --> 00:18:15,401

How about that?

262

00:18:15,401 --> 00:18:17,245

I like it, I like it.

263

00:18:17,245 --> 00:18:20,581

See, once again, we leave the imagination to the listener.

264

00:18:20,581 --> 00:18:21,192

I love that.

265

00:18:21,192 --> 00:18:31,278

And I got one more question for you If you had to put three songs on a playlist that

represent you, Scott Rudinski, what three songs do you choose to put on that playlist that

266

00:18:31,278 --> 00:18:32,509

represent you as a person?

267

00:18:32,509 --> 00:18:33,049

don't know.

268

00:18:33,049 --> 00:18:35,733

I'd have that's a question I would have had to give a lot of thought.

269

00:18:35,733 --> 00:18:43,080

I can think of songs that motivate me and songs that I feel personally connected with,

know, bands that I've always looked up to.

270

00:18:44,201 --> 00:18:47,616

Yeah, she's I gotta pick a minor threat song.

271

00:18:47,616 --> 00:18:48,947

I'm probably gonna say betray.

272

00:18:48,947 --> 00:18:51,832

I'm gonna go with

273

00:18:51,832 --> 00:18:56,906

some kind of descendant song, possibly a Cheer Me Up or maybe Sour Grapes.

274

00:18:56,906 --> 00:19:03,656

man, I gotta pick a Black Flag song, something like Rise and Bob or something angry.

275

00:19:03,656 --> 00:19:04,888

All those are perfect choices.

276

00:19:04,888 --> 00:19:07,321

See, for me, I was partially expecting a Strung Out song.

277

00:19:07,321 --> 00:19:09,254

I don't know why, but Strung Out's one of my favorites.

278

00:19:09,254 --> 00:19:14,360

And I'm just like, man, if Scott's on the show, when I ask him this question, Strung Out

may come up on there.

279

00:19:14,414 --> 00:19:18,994

Let's throw an honorable mentions strung out song in there for you.

280

00:19:18,994 --> 00:19:20,234

How's that?

281

00:19:22,534 --> 00:19:24,994

It would have to be one of those early songs.

282

00:19:24,994 --> 00:19:26,274

really...

283

00:19:26,274 --> 00:19:29,714

Geez, pick any song off the first two records and I'm in.

284

00:19:30,694 --> 00:19:31,787

I love it.

285

00:19:31,787 --> 00:19:32,668

Love it.

286

00:19:32,668 --> 00:19:33,689

Perfect.

287

00:19:33,689 --> 00:19:34,539

Scott Radinsky.

288

00:19:34,539 --> 00:19:36,711

You've got this album coming out September 5th.

289

00:19:36,711 --> 00:19:38,533

Everyone's got to go check it out.

290

00:19:38,533 --> 00:19:39,954

Fire Sale is going to be on it.

291

00:19:39,954 --> 00:19:43,197

You guys obviously legends in the industry, split record.

292

00:19:43,197 --> 00:19:45,058

Check it out when it comes out everywhere.

293

00:19:45,058 --> 00:19:47,830

Scott, thank you so much for making the time today to chat.

294

00:19:47,896 --> 00:19:50,018

Hey man, thanks to you John, I appreciate it.
