Are You Okay with This?

**SPEAKER_2** (0:16)
On the Hammer of Nigel. Well, Hammer, we're all familiar with the old saying, the show must go on, right?

**SPEAKER_3** (0:24)
Correct.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:25)
That's what Rod Stewart told an audience in Utah Friday night after he received oxygen on stage during one of his songs.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:36)
Oh, no!

**SPEAKER_2** (0:38)
I think he was singing Young Turks. Listen to this here. Here's the...
I'm going to play the end of the song when he was just propping himself up next to the drum riser. Uh-huh. But he was still continuing to do the vocals, but like he was making his way towards the oxygen machine.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:15)
The show must go on.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:23)
Would you mind if I sat down on this one? Good lord, retire!
Retire!

**SPEAKER_2** (1:32)
Are you okay with Rod Stewart taking a little oxygen break during Young Turks?

**SPEAKER_3** (1:36)
No!

**SPEAKER_2** (1:37)
No?

**SPEAKER_3** (1:38)
These people paid good money. Like tickets to go see Rod Stewart are not cheap. This isn't like you're going to some local theater to see a garage band. Hot Rod still charges quite a bit. He was doing Vegas Residencies just a couple of years ago. Tickets were redammediculous.
He's 81 years old. Now, look, there are some dudes out there that are up in age, but they're still putting on great shows like ACDC. I saw those old bastards down in Nashville and man, they were rocking and rowing.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:11)
Coming to South Bend, I believe, in September.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:13)
Yeah, Angus is still doing the duck walk, and Brian's got his little old man dances, but Rod's up there taking oxygen. There was a South Park episode a number of years ago where they made fun of Rod Stewart back then, where he was on stage and I think he pooped his pants.
And that was probably 15, 20 years ago.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:34)
I'm assuming there's higher elevation in Utah. Maybe that's what it was.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:38)
Or the fact that he's 81 and probably doesn't take good care of himself. He had to cancel a show the other night wasn't because of health, but he wanted to watch the soccer game that was.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:52)
What?

**SPEAKER_3** (2:53)
Yeah.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:53)
What are you talking about?

**SPEAKER_3** (2:55)
Rod canceled at the last minute because he wanted to watch his team play in the World Cup. That's the report that came out. But now he's up there sucking oxygen and telling the crowd who probably paid 100 plus bucks a ticket.
I got to sit down. It's like having Biden up there.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:12)
Now, you tell me which is worse. Okay. Meanwhile, at least I think this isn't as Rod isn't forgetting lyrics to his most popular songs. And he's 81, as you put it here, while performing with Kenny Chesney at the Sphere. Eric Church forget the lyrics to his hit Springsteen.
They've stopped the song. Are you OK with that?

**SPEAKER_3** (4:04)
No, again.

**SPEAKER_2** (4:05)
That was awful.

**SPEAKER_3** (4:07)
These people paid a lot of money. If you've been to the Sphere, you know it ain't cheap.

**SPEAKER_2** (4:13)
Your wife has, right?

**SPEAKER_3** (4:14)
She's been to the Sphere. It is not a cheap ticket. I don't think it's asking too much for the artist to know his biggest hits. And Eric Church, for getting the lyrics to Springsteen, unacceptable.

**SPEAKER_2** (4:29)
And not only that, but they stopped.
They just stopped and started talking to each other. I bet Kenny Chesney was mortified.

**SPEAKER_3** (4:37)
Just let the band play and act like the crowd singing along. Do that trick. I'm sure everybody does that. Great moments and forgotten lyrics history. When Christina Aguilera did the Star Spangled Banner, the national anthem at the Super Bowl, she butchered the lyrics. Now, the lyrics are, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight Or the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming. Those are the proper lyrics. Ladies and gentlemen, Christina Aguilera.
Here we go.
We missed the whole or the rump. Rumparts, we watched, we're so g- We are currently streaming. That's a problem at the Super Bowl. I kind of feel like that should have been a bigger story when one of the biggest pop stars in the world doesn't get the anthem right.

**SPEAKER_2** (5:58)
That's a rough one. The anthem is tough.

**SPEAKER_3** (6:00)
It is a tough song.

**SPEAKER_2** (6:02)
All right. What do you want to do? Last one here. Do you want to do crumble or you want to do this guy that survived the tornado?

**SPEAKER_3** (6:07)
Let's do crumble.
