Kids of Whitney High live, comic book talk, and callers

I'm Morty. You're in the Sports Corner with Dr. Edward Martin. Yes, hello. How are you doing? Where are you calling from, Morty? I'm calling from Hacienda Heights, Don. And your cable system? DCI Cablevision. And what channel you got us on? Channel 33. Okay. Ask Dr. Martin. It doesn't have anything to do with the sports-related injury, but I did throw my back out in the war. Ah, okay. And have you gone for treatment? Um, I've gone for a couple, I don't know, I went to a chiropractor. They tried to fix my back, but I still feel pain on it. Okay, and, uh... Lower, lower part of the back. The low back. And how long have you had the pain? Uh, about, say, about, I'd say a little over ten years. Ten years? Okay, and, uh... I've had little problems with it, you know, but, uh... Any pain going down the legs at all? Any pain going down the legs? Uh, yes, a little. Okay. Okay. Well, I hope you'll take advantage. As a matter of fact, as I'm talking to you, I'll offer this to our whole listening audience, because everyone won't get through tonight. Uh, the lines are jammed here. And, but I'd like to offer a free consultation at my office to anyone listening. I say, I want people who are serious about doing something about their pain. If they're really tired of walking around for years, and they really want to see if they can really... I want people who are really tired of walking around for years, and they really want to see if they can really put a dent in this pain condition. And, uh, the results we're getting are really tremendous here. But, and, see, one question I want to ask you, too. Even if you didn't get a total relief, uh, or total relief from your pain, would 70% be, uh, an acceptable thing for you? Well, that'd be better, you know. Sure. Right now, if we're speaking of getting a pain, I'm a pain. Right. See, I think it's time to do something. And just because you went to some doctors in the past, it doesn't mean you got the total treatment that you need. And, uh, that's not to knock any of the other doctors, but sometimes you have to look around. Uh, I once injured myself back in high school gymnastics. I limped for about a year. And I must have gone to at least 10 doctors of all different specialties. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. the chiropractor who knew how to treat this and I was better within about two and a half months. So I want to challenge everyone don't just live with your pain. It's time to actually do something besides take medications for it. Morty, do you want to take advantage of this great offer from Dr. Martin to get a free consultation? Would you be willing to go into his office to see him? Of course I would, you know, because I didn't ask to be living with this pain here. All a very unfortunate accident. Right. Why don't we put him on hold? He was pinned down in the jungle by a couple of VCs and they had to throw meat patties to save a life. Wow. What we'll do is we'll put you on hold, my producer will get your phone number, and then we will have Dr. Martin's secretary call you tomorrow. How's that? Yes. All right, Morty, thank you for your call for Ask Dr. Martin and his office will call you tomorrow. Friday. Thank you very much. Bro. All right. That was Morty calling you from Hacienda Heights. We'll do it live. Broadcasting from downtown Los Angeles. We'll do it live. Fuck it. It's the More Music Radio Pod. Do it live. I'll write it and we'll do it live. On skid row dot L.A. Fucking thing sucks. Five, four, three, two, one. All right. Hey everybody, happy Cinco de Mayo. It is the More Music Radio Pod. Woo! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! All right. Give me Taco Bell, right? All the stereotypes. All right. That's what this day's about. This is kind of like the Irish have St. Patty's Day, and this is the Mexican St. Patty's Day. Pretty much a reason to get together and drink and just blame it on something that happened historically. Tonight's going to be a good show. We have the Kids of Whitney High in studio. I've been looking forward to this. And let's just jump into the show. This is episode nine. This is episode number five of the More Music Radio Pod. Let's talk about what happened last week. We had Bastidas in, and it was a really fun show. What did you think, Jeremy? Yeah, so one of the things that came from that is that it looks like one of the guys from that band is going to start a show here at Skid Row Studios. Called the Piñata Hour. Yeah, and they're going to play all kinds of stuff. They're going to spin records. They're going to bring in artists and writers and promoters and all local L.A. talent. So that's their goal. So look for that pretty soon. That sounds fun, man. I want to be on their first show to bust the first piñata. They should bust a piñata every hour. Or, yeah, every show. Every piñata hour. Yeah, I think that's their plan. I think they should fill the piñatas with something different every show, maybe even. Yeah. I don't know where they're going to hang the piñata, though. We've got to find a spot. Yeah, it'll be pretty. I mean, man. We'll hang it from there. You just get it. You just get it like a corner of a roof and a rope. Hang it from the pipes, whatever. Somebody, you know what I mean, standing on the fence or something with the other end of the rope, and you just kind of lift it up and don't let them hit it. Right. They can hang it from the bottom of the chopper. You know, the leg thing, you know, where you hang off of when you're like in an action movie. Yeah, like the ropes that they throw down. Well, because we're up on a penthouse, you know. Oh, yeah, that's right. It'll be all good. Yeah, we're up in a penthouse over here at Skid Row Studios. Anyway, those guys were great, man. And, well, they're great. While they were here, Karen Centerfold called in. All right. Karen, are you there? I'm right here. Hey, everybody. How are you doing? How are you doing, Karen? Pretty good.

We want to know everything about you. Hello. So we're here with Michael who started the kids of Whitney High and that was back in 1928. 1988? 10,000 years ago. Wow. The year of the jerry curl. Got that soul glow. And for those of you who don't know who the kids of Whitney High are yet, it's actually something that came out of a music program from Whitney High School, right? Yeah, out of a songwriting class. We were, there was a woman there who was doing plays at school, just straight plays, and I thought it would be fun to do a musical. And so I got a bunch of kids together to do, to write some songs. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. So what part of town is Whitney High out of? It's in Adams, West Adams. Okay. Which is Western Avenue and the 10 Freeway. Okay, down by USC over there? Yeah, a little further, a little further west. Okay. You've been by it a million times if you've been on the 10. Never noticed it. Next time, look up. When you go past Western, look up to the south and you'll see the screen. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Nice sign. AP Whitney. Cool. So it started as a music class. So how did it, I mean, what's the evolution from just starting as a music class and actually becoming to where you guys are now where you're playing a lot of shows and, you know? Well, we just started, the thing is that that first year, they didn't decide what play they were going to do until halfway through the year. So I wanted to get the kids into the idea of writing songs. Do you remember the name of the play? Well, we did a few. We did. We did Snow White. Snow White. Snow White. Yeah, we did Snow White. Robin Hood, which I was in. Did we do Robin Hood? Yeah. Remember Robin Hood? You taught me how to sing for that, remember? Yeah. No. Yeah. You know, they hear my heart, it beats for you, listen to my song, that song. Oh, yeah. I remember that. Now I do remember, yeah. And there were a couple others. So the Nightingale we did too, I remember. But anyway, the thing is that first year, we did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. We did a lot of stuff. old days when you actually had to go to a recording studio. Yeah, you record on tape. Yeah. Kids, there was something called tape. And it was like magnetic and it would run across. It was two inches. The machine would spin round and round and sound would stick to the tape. No Pro Tools, ladies and gentlemen. It was before they used to record albums in closets. Right. That's right. And so anyway, we had a little fundraiser at school and raised some money and went to a studio and did the recording. And recorded about 10 or 12 songs. And then this word sort of got out and we ended up with the first record being on Rounder Records. And the rest, as they say, is history. And now it's a K-O-W-H world. That's right. So tell me about when you first started playing shows outside of the high school. Outside of high school events. Well, one of the first ones was up at Mondo Video. It used to be up on the top of Vermont there. Right, right. And they pushed some of the records and racks aside and we went up there. Yeah, that was, you know, I saw a video recording of that on tape. And it was of you guys, Kids of Whitney High at Mondo Video. it was really cool. I heard Kids of Whitney High mentioned on Howard's Stern. And that weekend we were at Mondo Video and we saw the videotape for Rent of Kids of Whitney High live at Mondo Videos. And we watched it. And, you know, from that day on, I mean, I was a Kids of Whitney High fan. And was that your actual first show at Mondo Video? I may have been. I don't remember. It was so long ago. But it may well have been the first show that we did. And there was no band. There was no band then. We just, we sang to, I don't know, tracks or something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was tracks. Yeah. So what actually made you go from, to decide to actually go and start playing in clubs? Because you guys have played, I mean, countless shows. I mean, I've seen you guys. We've actually, my band, The Mormons, have played with Kids of Whitney High several times. That's right. And I remember Kids of Whitney High playing shows with different, like, punk bands and, you know, those kind of shows. Maybe, like, back in, like, 98 or 99. Yeah, well, a real push, it was funny because we played at Mondo a couple times maybe. And then we were going to play, I think it was, like, maybe the third time. And they said, oh, we want to do it out back and we want to have a lot of people. And I said, great. And, you know, it's a big headache to do a field trip from school. But I arranged it and everything. And I said, do you need help getting the word out? You know, and no, it's okay. It's going to be great. You know, we get up there and there's, like, three people in the whole place. It's just one of those things where you're so angry. Welcome to rock and roll. That's it. I was ready to kill Rob, you know. And as much as I loved him, I was ready to just kill him, you know, just strangle him. And, but, as is wont to happen, one of the guys in the crowd of three was John Pandel, this guy who has become a very good friend of ours and at the time was a promoter. And, you know, he was a promoter. And, you know, he was a promoter. And, you know, he was a promoter. And, you know, he was a promoter. And, you know, he was a promoter. And, you know, he was a promoter. And, you know, he was doing shows mostly down in Orange County. And he just fell in love with the band. And so we started doing shows with him. And then, you know, years later, it ended up he was working at the House of Blues. And so, you know, in terms of us doing a lot of shows, it really had to do with John. I mean, he even said one time we played down at, where was that, down in Orange County? And he sent a limousine to pick you guys up. Remember that, Shelly? Yes. What was the name of that club? Come on. Oh, no. It's in Orange County. I forgot the name. Shelly. Chain Reaction? Chain Reaction. No, no, it wasn't Chain Reaction. I think it was, I don't know, Music City or something like that. Spaceland, one of them? No, no, no, I think it was Music City. I don't know. I don't venture too far behind the orange curtain. Yeah. Well, we went down there and we played a bunch. And we even played with, oh, was it No Doubt? Are they from down there? Yeah. Yeah, we did a house party one time. We played with them. Wow. And, of course, it was before they were a big band. Yeah. Playing in the kitchen or something. And I remember that there was a fight between two girls that broke out that was kind of like, I don't really know whether you guys should be here or not, but don't go into the bedroom, okay? But anyway, so that's, am I doing that? No, that's not you. That's Shelly's motorcycle. He's firing that up. So you guys are going to... Play some songs live for us later on, right? Sure. We will. Tell us about what your songs are about. And, like, what are your favorite songs that you like to play? I like Pretty Girls. Me too. Because we did a scene in the movie we did in Texas entitled The Ringer. Right. That's right. You guys were in the movie The Ringer with Johnny Knoxville. John. Right? Right? Yeah. How was that, making a movie, I mean, with that guy? And, you know, have you guys been in other movies or...? No. So what was that like? It was awesome. And we haven't been in any other films except for the ones we did some short films like Act Your Age and Dinner Time. There's a documentary, Act Your Age, which has been... Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers Avengers just absolutely loves the movies and always talking about the new movie that's out and went to see it and everything. So when we got the opportunity, we're going to be in this movie. And it, of course, you know, it was over probably a year or something. We're going to do it. We're not going to do it. We're going to do it. We're not going to do it. But anyway, finally the call came. We're going to do the movie. We're going to go to Texas. And so I was most excited to call Shelly because I know how much he loved the movies and here he was going to be in a movie. And so I called him up and I said, Shelly, we're going to go to Texas. We're going to go down there for three days. We're going to be in this movie. And there's silence on the other end of the phone. And he goes, Mike, work comes first. But you did it. I mean, you just, you made it happen. And, you know, and I saw that movie. You guys were good in it. Actually, my friend Tony, my roommate Tony, plays drums with you guys. What do you think about that? Drums. It was awesome. And there's a funny story about Tony, too, because he, you know, he was the youngest guy in the group. And yet we go, we're going down there to play. And what are we going to do for instruments? And all of a sudden Tony says, oh yeah, Sonar has given me a free set of drums. I'm like going, how did you swing that? And then I went on this big quest to try to get at least a free guitar, which I never did. I think they gave you a guitar, but then they got taken away at the last minute or something. Well, the deal was they said, they said, well, first of all, Fender said, absolutely no, forget it, nothing. And then Gibson said, okay, well, we'll get you any guitar you want. We'll give it to you. And then you send it back to us. And then when we see the movie, if we see the guitar in the movie, we'll send it back to you and give it to you. And I said, great. So it's in that second scene. That's why it took me two scenes. It took you once, even before the first scene, you had it figured out. But I'm trying. I'm doing the second scene. So if you look at the second scene, you see me holding up the guitar out of the crowd. So they wanted to make sure that their guitar was going to be in the movie or else they weren't going to give it to you? Exactly right. Oh, okay. And it still didn't work. Did you get the guitar? No, because by the time the movie came out and I called back and I said, yeah, can I speak to, you know, whatever is Bill Watson or something? Oh, he doesn't work here anymore. Yeah, that's how it always goes, huh? Oh, he doesn't work here. Oh, he's off today. Yeah. God, man. It was a product placement and it didn't work. Yeah. How about that? Well, cool, man. You know what? We're going to play a couple more songs. And how about when we come back after these songs, we'll have you guys play something from the kids of Whitney High live at skinroad.la.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I agree. I agree. I'm a big fan. And... Am I coming through? What's going on? Oh, okay. We're back with the kids of Whitney High. And we are having a good time. You guys having a great time? Yes! I'm having a wonderful time. I'm having a fantastic time. Do you speak Spanish? Si. You were asking me who spoke Spanish over here. Yes. Would you want to speak to our Spanish-speaking audience? Yes. Okay, say something to them. Special message. Okay. Yo quiero decir algo en español. Como, por ejemplo... Este... ¿Qué quieres decir? Quiero decir ¿Cómo está usted aquí en el radio? ¿Estamos bien? Sí, estamos bien. Aquí nomás. Y también yo quiero una copia del radio. ¿Está bien? Sí, está bien. Está bien. Sí. Okay. That was a special message to our Spanish-speaking audience. He's a stud. Did he say a cup of radio? That was Cain from the kids of Whitney High. Soy yo. So, uh, Mike, we were talking a little bit about what it takes to keep this program going. You've been doing it since 1988. Yeah, can you believe it? That's a long time. It is. I'm glad you're doing it. Yeah, well, thanks. You know, because when I was in school, they didn't really have too much, you know, they didn't really have too many programs where, you know, we can go and learn music. We just had to go and learn it on our own. You can tell by listening to, you know, the Mormons that there was no music programs. Right. You could tell that, you know, we just didn't have it and we're just, you know. Music by the numbers. Right. That's what you learned. Music by numbers, right. So, like, what does it take to get this, keep this program going? Well, the thing is that we were fortunate in the, in the first place to sort of address what you were saying and that, you know, being special ed, we're a bit off the radar in terms of all the BS testing all the BS testing and all that stuff. I mean, we still do have some, but, you know, I was able to create the program. I mean, it was also because the principal that we had at the time and the successor principals that we've had have all been supportive of it. So, because they could easily come in and say, you know, stop doing this. Just, you know, go back to regular class. Were you a teacher at the high school or something? How did you get involved? Yeah, yeah. I mean, and I am. I'm actually not a music teacher. I'm actually just a regular old teacher. What do you teach? Doing music. Well, that's the thing is that, I mean, my credential is in, you know, secondary social studies and special ed, you know, moderate to severe special ed. So, theoretically, I could just, you know, I'd be, which is what I had when I first started was a class with autistic kids. But then I started doing the, just, you know, the songwriting class on its own. And then that grew into doing more and more music during the course of the day. And so now, you know, I do it all day long, except for a poetry class, actually, that I have in the morning, which is a lot of fun. But, So you were kind of a social studies special ed teacher, but were you like, like trained musician or you just, you know, had a, you know, just picked up your guitar every once in a while? Like what made you want to start the music program? Well, I mean, the thing is that, I moved out here from the East Coast, you know, looking for fame and fortune in rock and roll. Oh, okay. And, What kind of music did you play? It was sort of pop, rock music, you know. And, When was that around? That was in the early 80s. Oh, okay. And, Were you in a band? Then I was, yeah, I was sort of in a couple of different bands. Nothing you ever heard of, but there was a great, there is kind of a fun story though. And, and it was about, it was like 81, I think. But I was teaching at Manual Arts High School, which is a regular ed school. And, I had a couple of songs that I had recorded that I'd written. And, the kids liked them at school and they'd play them during lunch and stuff. And this one kid said to me, he said, you know, I know Michael Jackson and I'm wondering if you'd mind if I played music for him. And I'm like thinking to myself, it's crazy, you know. And, and then I said, but then part of you is going, really? You know? So, so he said, you know, can I tell you? What if he does know Michael Jackson? Yeah. So he said, you know, this was of course the day of the cassette. So, you know, I gave him a cassette, you know, and then he said, a couple of days later, he goes, you know, I think he was in a basic math class with me. And he said, he said, yeah, Michael wants to talk to you. And I said, and again, you know, part of you is going, get out of here. Yeah, right. I was going, really? Yeah. And so, sure enough, and I went home that afternoon, there was this conference call and this guy, hi, you know, hi, it's Michael Jackson. Was it Michael Jackson? It was, yeah, it was. Wow. And he said, yeah, I really like your stuff, you know, and I'm like thinking, oh my God, you know, I said, well, I said, well, you know, if you want to record it or, you know, well, I'm kind of doing my own thing. And this was, this was just before, this was after Off the Wall, but before a thriller, you know, I thought you were putting my leg or that kid was crazy. I thought the end of the story was going to be like, the kid was crazy and he was doing the Michael Jackson voice or something, you know? Wow, so you really got with Michael Jackson. Maybe you just thought you were interested in kids, not the kids of Whitney Hunt. Right. Hey, so do you play music? Sorry, my two cents. Sorry, bad taste. Probably true. It would have been okay if he was here to defend himself. I mean, he's, you know, beat on the dead. That was me. I mean, we beat on the dead here at the More Music Radio Pod. Sorry, I had to interrupt as the Andrew Dice Clay of the show. Oh! Hey, so you guys, if you guys want to call in and talk to the kids of Whitney High, call 1-800-893-9562 and speak to the kids of Whitney High. And we're talking with Michael, the founder of the music program that gave birth to the kids of Whitney High as we know them. Now, the architect. Yeah, the architect, the founder, the guy who just, you know, got it going. And so, we're talking about what it takes to keep the program going. And I'm assuming that it's not, it's not always easy to keep, to keep things going. Well, yeah, particularly when the superintendent of schools comes in and says he thinks that what you're doing is worthless. Yeah, so you went through something recently where, you know, Oh, boy! My favorite part of this interview. Yeah, let's get to the dirt. Yeah, I mean, it's, it was, it's kind of, you know, unbelievable really that someone who's the superintendent of schools in charge of the education of, you know, 600,000 kids, you know, could not have a clue of what's going on. But that's, in fact, what happened. And so, that was, So they don't appreciate what you're doing there. Yeah, he just, he did not, I mean, it wasn't just me too. I mean, he, he went into these other classes that are model classes for special ed. The workshop class that we have, the visually impaired class that we have, and it was just criticizing everything. It was really surreal, you know? Wow, man. So, anyway, it just, you know, you just are suddenly, you know, with something that you thought you were doing a pretty good job at, you know, suddenly think, oh my God, you know, I might be out in the street or something, or, you know, I don't know what. So, like, what was he threatening to do? Well, uh, we didn't know. We didn't really know what he was going to do. Um, there is, you know, a, a very strong movement in the, uh, particularly academia and in LAUSD and special ed of shutting down the special ed schools. They feel that all students should be mainstreamed. And, uh, we feel very strongly that parents and kids should have the choice. If they want to be mainstreamed, they can be mainstreamed. If they don't want to be mainstreamed, then they shouldn't be mainstreamed because, as you can imagine, there are lots of horror stories of, uh, special ed, special ed kids, you know, being taken advantage of in all kinds of ways and regular ed campuses. I mean, if you remember being in regular school, how cruel we were to one another, you know, you can imagine throwing a kid with disabilities or crutches or wheelchairs or whatever, you know, being a girl, being nonverbal and very attractive. It's, it's, uh, you know, it's a disaster waiting to happen. So, uh, it was very disturbing thinking that they were, you know, going to close down the school and, you know, we've managed to survive. I mean, this has happened before, but, uh, we managed to survive, um, in the past and, and this, we're still not really sure exactly what's going to happen. Um, and, of course, the money has, has, uh, has dried up. So that thing's still going then, right? That, what's still going? Well, you know, where that guy's kind of, uh, questioning whether he should be, you know, allotting that money for the program. Well, the thing is that he actually is not, as of, I think, last week, he's not superintendent anymore. Why's that? Uh, Kain took him out, actually. No, no, I'm just kidding. His name was Osama bin Laden. Yeah. He was in one of those bathroom stalls where you just put your foot over into the next stall and then if the guy, like, touches your foot, then you get it on with him and then it was just like an informant or something, right? Something like that. Something creepy like that. Yeah. For somebody like that, that uptight, you know, he has to have something going on, you know? Yeah. Well, anyway, the new guy seems to have some brains and so, you know, we're hopeful that, you know, we can appeal to him to keep things as they are and actually, you know, maybe increase what's going on but, you know, you'd never, you know, with the economy in general, of course, it's bad and then in education, it's even worse. Right. I mean, they're, like, defunding all the arts out of the curriculum and, like, I mean, it was bad enough back then, too. Like, I was telling you, when I was going to school, you know, back, you know, in the 80s when you started or something, you know, and there weren't any classes, there weren't any opportunity for kids to, you know, instead of wasting their time on the streets or, you know, going and getting into trouble, you know, there wasn't, you know, there weren't many programs, you know, after school for where people can learn to play music or get into stuff, you know, all the arts, you know, and it's worse now. Yeah, and even, I mean, there's a foundation that I've gone to for, like, 15 years now and they've always given me for a computer, you know, because it's tough to get one through school and so I've always gone to them and this was the first time actually, because my computer died at school and this was the first time that I've been turned down. It's just like, oh my God, you know, where do I go now, you know, so. And where does all the money go, too? Yeah. You gotta wonder. Yeah. And, you know, they'll just take it off the, you know, the special ed programs and all the music programs and all this stuff. And they'll put it on limousines and girls. Right. And drugs. We don't need that, kids. Just go to ROTC. Yeah. That's all we need. That's what they're doing. Yeah. That's fascinating. So there's actually, like, the Kids of Whitney High where the, actually the current kids that you have in your class and then there's the Kids of Whitney High that go out and perform shows. Yeah, that's right. The, the, uh, the guys who are here graduated a number of years ago. Mm-hmm. But, um, we had a very, we've had a very consistent backup band because, uh, originally we'd have a band and then it would, they would sort of leave and then that would sort of dissolve and then we'd start again. But this backup band has been very consistent and very good. When did you, when did you get the backup band? Because I remember when I first heard of the Kids of Whitney High you guys were playing to a track. Yeah. Well, we had, there was one band that we had that, that again, uh, John Panel who I mentioned earlier, had, had set up, uh, they were, what were they called? One Eye Open or One Eye Blind or I don't know, something. Mm-hmm. And, uh, for a year or so and then, um, and then there was, uh, we played, uh, recorded with World Tribe which is another band that, that, uh, John knew and then, uh, uh, then Kedron Parker, uh, who was a fan who I didn't know but approached us and, and, uh, it was a bass player. And Brian Glasscock and then Vince, uh, who's playing guitar here was, uh, teaching at Whitney at the time and, uh, Judy Rudin and then we had that core band which is, I don't know, how many years ago? Tony, do you know? My memories are going off and it's funny. My memory fails me consistently. It was, yeah, I think it was the Jurassic period or something but, uh, anyway, uh, yeah, and then Tony came in and, uh, Spiro came in. And, and, so it's, I don't know, 10, 12, 15 years. That was really cool when Tony, when Tony told me that, hey, I'm going to play drums in the Kids of Whitney High and I was like, what? Oh my God. That's awesome. The way that that happened was I was friends with Keetron and I had, I heard a, like, I moved out, uh, to LA from Indiana and like I was a kids fan in Indiana. Moved out, met this girl Keetron, he was the bass player at the time and she was a friend of mine and they're like, she was saying that, you know, the kids need a drummer. Try out, you know, and I showed up and what's funny is Spiro, the bass, the current bass player tried out at the same time as the drummer and, uh, I, I, I'm a better drummer than him so I got the job but then he joined later as the bass player which, hey, he's a better bass player than me so it all works out. It all works out. Isn't that cosmic? That's just cosmic. That's some cosmic stuff right there. You were trying to be Yin and he was Yang and he was all Yang and he's all your Yin. It's all cool. Wait, what? Children, meditation is important. See what can happen? Breathe deep. Fill your lungs and let it out. I'm not trying to derail the interview but when you, when you started the band back in, Warren, you were doing music back in the 80s, Mike. Uh-huh. Did you have, like, cool 80s hair? You have, like, a, like a Robert Smith hair? I did. Maybe a Fox Eagles even? It's kind of a, kind of a, what do they call it? Mufalata? No, what is it? Mullet. Like a bouffant? It was a Rick O'Kasey. I had a mullet. Rick O'Kasey of the cars. They're coming back. You can bring it back too. Mullets are coming back. You can bring it back too. Yeah. Well, cool. Well, you know what? We're going to take a break and we're going to play a couple more songs and when we come back, maybe we can have another live Kids of Whitney High song. What do you think, And talk about it on the comic book. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And we'll talk about the comic book and we'll talk about all that when we come back on the More Music Radio Pod. Radio Pod.

You might be on the wrong show, Cain. Okay. I love bad words. I just want to say, fuck, right now. Yeah, go for it. Say it. Hey, so what's up with this comic book? I heard something about that. Tell us about the comic book. Okay. Tony, you have the mic. Hello, people. Tony from Kids of Whitney High. Get a little closer. Closer. Little closer. Yeah. Pretend it's a woman. Get it like that. Yeah, like Barry White. Like, yeah, baby. You know what I'm saying? You know I'm undue to you. I don't know. Sorry. You got to get right up in there. Is this close enough? Yeah. Here. Let me help you out. My tongue can reach now. Yeah. Just get tongue linked. So what do you want to know about it? What are we doing in here? Yeah, yeah. You guys got a comic book. Kids of Whitney High comic book. Well, we all wrote it. Shelly's a cop. All right. Cain's an angel. I'm an angel. And I'm a kick-ass superhero on steroids acting crazy and being very violent. Oh, cool. Like Captain America. No. All bettered out. No, better than Captain America. Oh, wait. So are you the villain or are you the superhero? No, we're all good guys. Oh, okay. So it's kind of like a Justice League, but like Kids of Whitney High style. Yeah. Super friends, actually. No, super friends. Thanks, man. Yeah. Thanks. I've been drinking a couple beers, so I get a little. Just a couple. Yeah. So what's up? So is this a new thing or you guys have had it around? How many issues do you have? Hey, Vinnie Mac, how many issues? I forgot. This is one. It's a one shot. Yeah? Yeah. It's a one off. Something like that. One. Number one. And you guys wrote it? Yep. So who's doing the animation? Friends of mine. Cool. And friends of Vince's over here. All right. Cool, man. They all did it for free, by the way. What are those guys' names? Let's see. There's Raphael, Chuck Beebe, Ricky, and I forgot her last name right now. She's going to kill me if she is. Ricky Niehaus. And I don't remember all the names. Mahoud? Jim Mahoud. Yeah. Ricky Niehaus. There were several professional artists that each took a section of the story that the kids wrote. It got all blended into one long story, like one long book. And it was just a great thing that just happened, like a work of art type of thing. You've got to see it. That's awesome. That's really cool. It's wild because I didn't really have anything to do with it myself, but it changes the style, because the artist changes after, I don't know, like three pages or something. All of a sudden, it's a new artist. Yeah. And so the whole thing just sort of morphs into something else. And then a few more pages, and then all of a sudden, there's a new artist. And so it's really cool that way. Does it follow like a storyline or something? Yeah, it follows a storyline, but going along with what Michael just said, so you'll see Shelly drawn by three different artists, and it looks different, but it's a different aspect of his personality. Oh, okay. That's cool. That's cool, man. You guys have a few albums out, too. Where can people get those? You can get them on iTunes. That's probably the easiest place to get them. What are the albums called? The first one is called... The First One. The First One is special music from special kids. Second one is Let's Get Busy. Third one is Act Your Age. And the fourth one is Live at the Key Club. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. And you guys are at kidsofwhitneyhigh.com? Yeah. That's right. kidsofwhitneyhigh.com. Cool. So, Michael, do you still have any vinyl from the first album? I personally want a copy of that, so I'm just asking. Can I have one, too? I mean, I saved just a couple. Just for myself. Tony asked first, so I guess you can have it. I don't know. I could loan you it for maybe a week or two. It'd be kind of fun to press some of the stuff on vinyl, you know? Yeah. The first one... Actually, the first one, long ago, enough ago, so it was actually remarkable that it was done on CD. Right. That was like a big deal back then. But, yeah, I think I have like two or three maybe vinyl left. So, one for me, one for you, and we're set, right? One for Vince. One for Vince? Yeah, I want one, too. Thanks. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, guys. And you got to buy a book, too, dude. Yeah, I want to buy a book, too. I got the Kodiak Kids of Whitney High shirt, and I have the one that you're wearing right now, the blue one. This one. Can anybody see it through the radio right here? This one right here. It's blue. Right. It's very cool. I have a copy. That deep blue sound you hear? That's my sexy voice. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Actually, what that color is... It's handicap blue. Handicap blue. Because it's the same color as the signs. Yeah. Right, right. And it has that same kind of motif where it's like the symbol, but it's like in motion. There's like flags and stuff. I like it. Yeah. Right. I like that word, motif, man. You're very talented with the words. Thank you. I appreciate that. Thank you. Thank you. I'm going to clap to myself. Thanks. Make it sound like a lot of people are clapping. I'm clapping, too. We're giving love for Vince. He's the host, man. Yeah, man. Thank you. Well, you know... Yes, good job. I can't do it without you guys, man. You know, fucking... Where's this music coming from? I got my whole crew here. I got Dan and Patrick and Tony and Jeremy. It's an amazing kit, too. And, you know, we want to thank Jeremy for inventing skidroad.la so we can have this show. True that. This is our fifth show. Yay! Yay! What an amazing show. Just keep listening. What a ride! We're getting almost a thousand downloads a day across all the episodes, so things are going really well. That's great. Yeah, we only started this thing like six months ago, and it's really taken off. Yeah, man. And we got some new shows and stuff. There's a lot of things happening at skidroad.la. Yep. And, you know... We want to thank you guys for having us on. Yeah, thank you so much. We want to thank the kids at Whitney High for coming on. Yeah. Thank you. I think Dan wants to say something real quick. We want to tell you what's going on. What's going on in L.A. this weekend? Yeah, other than our friends in the studio here, we got other friends working around town. Tomorrow, we got Seasons over at our nice venue we play at, occasionally Casey's, over on 6th Street, right down the street here. They make the best white Russian there at Casey's Irish Pub. I didn't even know they had that. You can get a mean Reuben, too, man. They use real cream, and they whip it up, too, so it's like frothy. It's really good. It's delicious. And just on the other side of the block, we got... Facts on file at the Five Star Bar. That's also tomorrow. And then on Saturday, we're going to be... I'm sorry, not us, but our last week's guest, Bastidas, is going to be at 958 Commieville Street. That's in the hood somewhere. I don't know. Anyway... And listen to the Pinata Hour. I think that's what's going to be next week, Jeremy? Yeah, that's a leave from Bastidas. Yeah, I think we're going to start next week. The ping. Yeah. Next Wednesday? Next Wednesday. At what time? We haven't decided on an exact... Actually, no. I think we're going to do it 7 to 8, actually. This one's going to be a little bit earlier. Oh, cool. All right. Yeah, 7 to 8 right here. You can talk to them at the same number, 800-893-9562. I'm going to listen to it on the drive home. And that same evening, you're going to see my good friend King Devil over at the Boot Leg Theater. That's Joe Fraley. And our bass player... What's his name? Joe? Joe or Joey or something. Don't call him Joseph. He doesn't want to be Joseph. Don't call him Jose. Yeah, he gets pissed when you call him Jose. He's very Mexican, but he does not like to be called Jose. He doesn't want to be called Jose. And that was my dad's name, so I get insulted and offended. I know. So I'll call him stud. He's kind of a fucking dick. He'll be at the Boulevard. That's in Boyle Heights. And on Sunday, you can catch Corridor at three clubs. And our very funny friend Scott Bowser at the Bordello. And Barrio Tiger at Cheetah's, which will be at the following week. And you'll see, I think, kind of naked girls and stuff. Yeah, you know, we're playing at Cheetah's Strip Club. I always wanted to check that place out. I don't know if you guys want to go. I mean, you guys are invited. Let's all go. All right. Just like our only crew. Yeah, let's do it. We're going to be playing there on May 15th. May 15th. Sunday, May 15th. It's a Sunday. With Pussy Cow and the French something. The French Exit?
