Speaker 1 (00:00):
Norn Bergen, Ron Bergin talking and say anything ron Bergen.
Welcome to the Ron Burgundy Podcast. This is ron Burgundy.
Now listen. People always want to know who I am?
Who is he? This Ron Burgundy character, the myth, the legend,
(00:23):
the felon, And I'm not going to be shy, and
I'm gonna tell the folks who I am. Well, I'm
a man first, that's for sure. And I'm a news anchor. Second, yeah,
and then then third, I'm a responsible pet owner. And fourth,
I may let's see what I wrote here? Okay. Fourth,
(00:44):
I'm a musician. Yes, I'm a jazz flute wonder kind.
And five I'm a lover. That's it, folks, I'm a
man first, lover last. Actually, let's take that back. Let's
switch those. I want to be a love her first
and a man last. There you go done. Well, Uh,
(01:05):
that doesn't work either. Back to the drawing board. Roun.
You don't have to do this, but we know who
you are. I don't know why you're prioritizing traits about yourself.
Where do you think I should throw in Christian? I
don't know. Are you super Christian? Not really? But this
is all from my bumble profile. I'm just trying to
(01:26):
meet some nice women on this thing. But life on
these dating apps is wild. Girls will ignore you and
leave you in the gut or so to speak. Or
they'll say they want to keep in my deep. Wow,
that's very forward of them. Yeah, I know. It's like,
can I just say hello first? I don't want to
see your butt, you know, until the first date. Anyway,
(01:49):
all these dating apps ask you to describe yourself and
your interests, So here goes nothing. You're going to put
down lover and man and Christian and world class musician.
Are you going to mention that you have a son? Um?
I usually wait till I'm two months in and then
just bring my son on a date. Romantic surprises, women
(02:12):
love them. Speaking of love, we have a musician in
the house today known for his love songs. Many couples
get together after his shows. You probably know who I'm
talking about, uh Nick, If you don't mind, let's cue
up one of his songs. Ah, Yes, one of my
(02:35):
favorites to play over a romantic Italian dinner. Really, it
seems more like the music you hear at No, that's right.
D J. Dillon Francis is in the house to teach
us all about E. D M. The music of love. Nick,
can you play that that song that always makes me cry?
(03:06):
Tugs at the hard strings, doesn't it? Oh my goodness,
ring me out. I'm like a wet towel, just beats.
I know you feel the same, Carolina, right at all. Well,
let's give the heartbroken a second to recover from that.
And in the studio next is Dylan Francis. Bring a
(03:28):
box of tissues. Folks, welcome back to the Ron Burgundy Podcast.
This is Ron Burgundy, and of course I'm joined by
Captain fort Face a K. Carolina. Anyway, we are so excited.
(03:54):
How excited are we? Captain? I don't want that nickname,
but answer the questions? Good will you? Please give a
Ron Burgundy Podcast. Welcome to the man behind the motown sound,
Dylan Francis. Dylan, thank you for coming today. Thank you.
I'm gonna clap for myself. It's like a morning Zoo
(04:15):
c group it. Yes, Dylan, we really appreciate you. Know what.
I want to apologize right off, because I just happened
to look up and make eye contact with you, and
I can see you're You're in your early thirties. Yes,
I was clearly wrong about the whole Motown sound thing.
You had nothing to do with the Motown town. But
do you like motown music? I do. You don't know
(04:36):
if I could name any off the top of my head,
but um well, let's see scrill X is definitely the
biggest Motown beach boys. Were they not from Detroit? No? No, Well,
I guess we don't know anything about Eminem because of
the m Motown man. That's what the short from Motown.
(04:56):
He is from Michigan. That's where the eight mile talk
about eight mile? Right right? Have you seen it? I
would love to get it a deep dive on eight mile.
I think I'm the wrong guy. So let's start with
the basics. How did you get started? How did music
into your life? I mean from a young age. You know,
(05:18):
you have the radio just going so my parents, my
dad always listened to him. Actually, were you like listening
to like raffie music? No? No No, I was listening to
a lot of like one on one point one, Okay,
here is one on one. It was. It was all
the classics, and then my mom would would do one
or two points and it would be really funny if
my dad listened to that too, he did not, Um,
(05:40):
I just I kind of got into music through that,
and then, uh, like for actually working in music, I
think it was it was just through my friend playing
a lot of like dance music in his car and
I didn't know what it was, and I was really
into metal music and punk music at the time, and
then that's what I was like, what is this? Sounds
like the advanced version of that metal music is music?
(06:05):
I'm lost here. That sounds like two pieces of metal
scraping together. I guess you could say, so it's loud music. Okay,
it's it's a lot of a lot of so like
when someone's belting out the national anthem that's considered metal music.
That's loud. Yes, it's more like it screaming, like you could,
(06:30):
like Katy Perry so close. But okay, well, none of
us are good at classifying music. UM so what are
we doing here? Honestly, Carolina, I mean you're supposed to
be driving the train here. I'm learning just as much
as you are. I mean maybe I'm less behind, but
(06:51):
let's talk about this. So working as an E D
M DJ, now that's the correct terminology, right, and produce
or I mean you you take a lot from different
musical influences, right, so, and I know now this, I
do know reggaeton yeah is a big is big for you,
(07:12):
right but but I read when you were younger you
were very into punk music. Yes, so I just said, yes,
you just said that. Yes, Okay, Shoot, somehow if lessened
this biz a long time without listening, um some of
the artists that inspired you, uh Pure Prairie League, Atlanta
Rhythm Section, Uh, Captain and to Neil, but not to Neil.
(07:35):
This is my bio. I'm just asking. I don't think
Captain ever. I don't think none, none of those groups,
neither of those two. Okay, scratch that off. Let me
get my pin scratch off. Done. So I imagine you
know a lot of being a producer and making electronic
(07:57):
music involves sitting in front of a computer. Yeah, a lot.
Do you feel you made a good decision there? Not?
Sometimes now got a bad back from it? Definitely? Okay? Right? Yeah?
Do you do you have one of those walking computer?
You know where you stand? You're supposed to like standing DUTs,
thank you, because sitting is supposed to kill us? Now
it is? Who said that? No? That's just the new studies.
(08:19):
Not supposed to sit, it's going to kill you. You're
not ever supposed to sit, never again. So the computer,
I mean the computer, it's it's I mean, it is
in someone. It's a very smart choice. It's easy to
carry around. He's very Do you ever do you ever
look at a guy, for instance, who plays like the
tuba and has to lug it all over the place
and think, nice job, idiot, I'm an international superstar DJ.
(08:41):
Just because I brought, you know, a laptop and you're
lugging around a tuba. Look some kind of absolutely um.
Sometimes I sit at the airport and I just wait,
wait for those people, for the tuba people, And I
look at them and I go, if you really new
wrong choice, buddy? This may be an obscure rest reference
to our listener for our list Oh my god, come on, Ron,
(09:05):
get it together. Ah. We were so lucky to have
you here today. And I thought it'd be a great
chance to tackle a subject on this show that's really
important to me. And you know what, Actually I'm gonna
I'm gonna backtrack here. I want to get to that
question later, but I want to ask you, Okay, let's
(09:27):
throw some names out here. Test Yes know him? Diplow
know him? Z is that? Yes? I know him? Is
that I'm supposed to say I know him? Or whatever
you want, whatever comes to your mind. This is kind
of a lightning round know him? Marshmallow, you know that
guy too? Cascade, Yep, Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Dead Mouse,
(09:51):
Sarah Huckabeat Sanders. I didn't know she was a DJ.
She is round underground. Yeah, mostly in conservative circles. A
lot of people going to those shows. Sure, I'd love
to actually huge R and yes is going after parties. Actually,
(10:14):
Ed Mayor Ed Coach loves it, really couches even though
he's dead. Now, are you saying the ghost of Ed
Coach loves Sarah Huckabats, Yeah he did. Let's sick a
moment of silence? Four departed New York Mayor Ed Cotch Nick.
(10:41):
Do you have any music you could play while we
take this moment of silence? Perfect? Thank you? Um let
me get back to this other topic saying about which,
like I said, so thankful to have you, thank you,
And I want to discuss something that's really important to
(11:02):
me and I think it would be helpful and education. Well, ah,
come on, Rod, what is it? I got the Monday
blas who last night I was down at the pier
sport fishing. You're not supposed to do that anymore? Well,
I love it. It's passion of mine. In fact, I
should have put it on the bumble thing sport fishing. Yeah,
(11:27):
I just got on bumble today. How how is it
we'll find out he's trying to get on Riya but
he's wait list. I'm waitlisted on Riya. I can hook
you up. You could jump me to the front of
the line. Yeah. Those all the names you listed are
that's what you were listing them for their exactly. We're
all on there. This is, you know, learning how to
be one of the great days in my life. Yes, Rya,
(11:50):
here we come, Ron Burgundy on riot. Um, so let's
discuss the topic how to care for the elderly. That's
a good one. Um, Dylan, your thoughts? Should we do
more for the elderly? Should we just do this topic now?
I mean maybe we should stick to music. No, Caroline,
that's so boring. When I heard Dylan Francis was coming in,
(12:13):
I thought, who better to tackle the subject of caring
for the elderly than Dylan Francis and E D M. Superstar.
It just felt right. And you know, I always like
to go with my gut. When when is my gut
ever been wrong? I none are coming to mind because
I'm so overwhel I'm actually paralyzed. Try and game just
one good, let's just start there, Dylan. A lot of
(12:35):
older people are confined to wheelchairs. We need to make
our world more wheelchair accessible in general, don't you think? Yeah,
I've who would say no to that? Always? I'm asking
the DJ here, so you agree. I agree that we
shouldn't do that. Shouldn't have controversial opinion. I have more
(13:00):
accessibility for wheelchairs. We should have should have it? Yes? Great?
And also if you're if you're in a wheelchair, have
fun with it, Yes, have fun with it, especially like
the motorized ones. Yeah, the rascals. Yeah, the rascals, Well,
a jazzy that's what they're called. They're jazzys. They're also
called jazzys. That's another like the rascal Rascal. I um,
(13:25):
I'm a bit of a rascal. Yes, And I volunteer
at a nursing home once in a while. And I
don't like to make a big deal out of it,
But it really lightens up people's faces when they see
old Ron Burgundy come into a visit. Do you find
that with your fans they're happy to see you at
meet and greets? Yeah? Do you do a lot of
(13:47):
meet and greets sometimes? Is it? How many people would
that be? Uh? Like, you know, like in one meet
and greet for like the show, So after the show
you'll meet with five hundred people. I mean I I
used to like, go out to the home. How do
you how do you have the energy to talk to
five d people? Let's give him hugs? Wow? I would
(14:11):
limit it to five five Ron would limit it to
five and say only ladies please, which was kind of insulting.
But um, so, you know, I just find that going
to nursing homes is just a small way to give
back to the community, and in particularly with the elderly
folks I deal with um And I have this one
gentleman I see regularly. He's a retired lieutenant colonel. He's
(14:38):
a veteran, purple heart, the whole deal, a true American hero.
And last weekend I rigged up his motorized wheelchair with
the engine from an old nineteen seventy Corvette Stingray LT
one and I must have got that sucker going up
to around one mile maybe maybe hundred and thirty. Isn't
that awesome? He was. He went on the away, he
(15:00):
went on the freeway. He loved it, and he said
thanks for bringing me back to the glory days. He
didn't I feel like he loved it. I was against
the idea, but then when I saw him on it, right, Okay, yeah,
I mean I would just assume that that would cause
I mean, he was just irreparable. Damna. He came back
hard or kidney failure, yeah, um, he had a he
(15:23):
had a little bit of kidney failure. Okay, he said
it was worth the whole thing. I mean, he was
just risen around the grounds of the nursing home as
the time of his life. People, the people in charge
of the facility got a little uptight with me, but
I just said, hey, I'm Ron Burgundy. Yeah that was it. Yeah,
that was my only reson. Did they say please stop?
(15:45):
They said please stop, and we're gonna have to call
the police, and law enforcement did show up. So Dylan Frances,
what ways do you try to give back to the community. Um,
I mean I donate money to parks and l a
trying to get more parks and then just parks of
general dog parks, just parks, just just making sure we
(16:07):
have actually, like you know, because I've been we need
open spaces. Yeah, I've been in the UK. They have
really nice parks we just don't have. And then I
give a lot to Music Cares, which is a music
organization that for the arts and it actually exists. Yes,
it's not a it's not a fake charity. Run has
(16:28):
been interested in creating a charity just you should. I
would donate to it. Well it's called more Spaghetti, Okay,
I wouldn't take it that it's just about more spaghetti
for people. We don't have to get into it. I
actually I actually kind of feed the elderly more spaghetti. Yeah,
I mean if they don't know, if they necessarily need
more spaghetti. I feel like if you do it too
(16:49):
for homeless people though, that's fantastic. Well maybe that's what
we'll do. Yeah, maybe that's a good idea, after we
take a little bit off the top. Yeah, do you
have parents and they must be awfully proud of what
you've accomplished. Yeah, my grandma is and what do they
make of your music? I mean, she definitely if I
(17:10):
played it for her, she wouldn't know it was my music,
and she would probably be like, I don't want to
hear this, but she's proud, So they enjoy it or
I don't think so, Okay, maybe some of them. There's
there's probably a you know, maybe two that I could
play her that she would be fine. Like what I mean,
what portion of fandom do you think you have in
(17:30):
the elderly community? Oh man? I mean I could look
at my analytics on Twitter or or Instagram and it
would be an interesting study. I I could look right
to see. Let's look right now. Let's look right now.
Let's see how many octogenarians you have who consider themselves fans.
Let's see who love to get down to the beats
um so that you can access Yeah, I'm not accessing
(17:53):
it right now. Sixty four? We got one? Okay, sixty
five plus I guess what, so one percent? These are
the real one percenters, octogenarians who love d M while
they're doing uh, you know, water aerobics at the pool.
(18:15):
Yeah h thanks to them, thank you s m H. Right, Yeah,
what do you think that means smh. Surely must help
is what I always thought it man, it means shake
my head, but it's okay. Shake Why would you want
to shake your head? Sma smack? Am I right? Big time? Small? Yeah,
(18:43):
let's talk about cholesterol medication lipatore good for controlling cholesterol levels?
Or should people change their diets as well? I I
legally I am not allowed to comment because the last
time I did, right, I got okay because I don't
know the specifics about to be able to common senses.
(19:06):
Put down the cheeseburger, yes, or pick up the lipertur Yes,
that's both some people need. But who knows. I'm I
don't know what the right answer is. I'm not a doctor.
If you're listening, what about molly? Do you ever take
that stuff when I was younger? Should senior citizens take ecstasy?
(19:27):
Mn't think so. It's pretty rough, but it's interesting. I
wonder of your one per centers, if they're just riding
the molly train all day long, they could be What
do you think about this? I just thought of this idea,
so forgive me if it's not fleshed out. How about
a DJ school for senior citizens? M would that be
(19:49):
something you'd be interested in setting up. Um, just get
a bunch of octogenarians in a room, teach them about
beat matching, cross fader, curve control, get some loops going,
make some beats that honestly sounds like my own personal
helpload it to SoundCloud. Not interested? Not How do you
where did you learn those words? How do you know
(20:10):
so much about DJ technique? Well, Carolina, you don't know
everything about me. Okay, When I was doing cable news
in New York City in the eighties, actually befriended Grand
Master Flash for a period of time, and he showed
me a couple of things on the ones and twos,
and it's nothing like what Dylan can do here. But
but the Flash and I did put out a single
(20:32):
around three called news Funk two thousand. Quite serious? Can
we hear it? I thought you'd never ask DJ Dillon Frances,
Thank you, Carolina didn't ask me. Well, I didn't even know. Nick.
Do you have news funk? Nick? You always have news
Fun two thousand? Loaded up? Ready to go? All right,
let's take okay, let's take a ride. Here. It is
(20:55):
from news Funk two thousand. Brod bro Bro bro bro
(21:23):
Bro one glast three two one blast too hot? See? Wow?
Was that not? That was interesting? What? It never made
(21:46):
it on the radio except for a couple of college
station Yeah. Why was it called news Funk two thousand?
Beak um, Yeah, it's not very newsy? Yeah, I think
it was. What did it sound anything like the two
thous I think we were trying to predict what the
two thousand sound was going to be like and wasn't that.
It wasn't It wasn't this. But the drum machine was cool. Right,
(22:10):
that's the best part. Um. I wish you Why are
you laughing so much? It's maybe it's flattering. I feel
like I never want to play it again. It's producing emotion.
It's good. Absolutely, there you go. That absolutely is the
way to take that. Okay, Well, I feel like you
(22:31):
guys are making fun of me, but whatever, I have
enough self esteem to know that Ron, you can do
whatever you want. In news Funk two thousand, you took
a chance, and um, you know that's what life is
all about. You took an artistic chance and it went.
I'm not going to be made to feel no, I
went somewhere. It went exactly, thank you. In fact, that
(22:52):
was one of the reviews of news Funk two thousand.
This song went somewhere. One of the call newspapers said,
well it went somewhere. What were some of the other
if there? If you could name off? Very negative, very yeah, okay,
very negative. Sorry. Um let me ask you this. Do
(23:12):
you meditate? Um? I used to, and then well it
was when I was younger and my dad made me wow, okay,
which is really counterproductive to meditating. Why would you make
someone forceful meditation? So he's like, son, for the last
time you got to meditate, it was it's six o'clock
(23:33):
meditation time. Sounded exactly like that. I just got flashbacks, Dylan,
for Christ's sake? Did you meditate? Was that kind of
the wow? So? So you never felt relaxed? No? No,
The reason we had to meditate was we it was
so that we could watch TV. So it was a tradeoff.
(23:55):
It was a trade off meditate. And how long was
the meditation period supposed to? Like an hour and hour?
A lot of breathing experts. Now I'm on your side,
maybe fifteen minutes. My dad still wakes up and at
every morning. Did you find it helped you so much?
Or were you just say it was too much of
a punishment. I'm a as a little kid. Your mind exactly.
(24:18):
I mean, my mind is going a mile a minute
right now. I try to meditate every morning and I can't. Immediately,
I started thinking about eight Mile, the movie eight Mile,
and how we have to save the people from the
nuclear reactor mailt down to three mile Oland. That's not
what the movie was about, though. Gosh, I wish we
could watch it right now and have this debate. It's
(24:38):
not I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree.
It's not what the movie is about though. Even well, anyway,
when I meditate, that's those are the images that I'm
pouring through my mind. It's like a carnival of horrors
in my brain no matter what I do. So, so
what do you do now to relax your mind and
(24:59):
clear your head? Cause I'm sure you have a hectic schedule. Um,
I take you know, take naps or something like that.
And I just I enjoy working. I'm very thankful for
Do you wake up and you just like boom, I've
got a new beat, a new rhythm, a new a
new song in my head. It's either that or like
video ideas for for like music videos the visual expression
(25:20):
of what you've already done. You But yeah, it's like that,
or it's just sitting down in front of the computer
and then kind of just you know, chipping away at whatever.
I imagine you travel a lot for your work. How
many how many dates a year are you on the road?
Probably like a hundred and forty something, hundred and fifty something,
pretty extensive. A lot of traveling, A lot of traveling.
(25:44):
Back to the elderly. Speaking of traveling, you know, and
though I work with the elderly, sometimes I do kind
of resent the fact that they're able to get on
a plane before me, just because they're old and needs
special assistance, you know, especially when I'm flying first class,
as I'm sure you do all the time. Don't you
think first class passengers and elderly people should be able
(26:05):
to peacefully board an airplane at the same time, don't they.
I mean, Ron has pushed me over when we've boarded
a plan at the same time. I mean, I'll help
an old lady put her bag in the overhead compartment,
but but I'm going to put my bag up first,
you know, it's understandable. Then I'll help the old bag
(26:25):
of bones. Imagine you do the same right down, I
think I would put her bag first, not mine. Chivalry
is not dead. Last time we got on a plane together,
you kicked me in the back of the knees and
said go faster because you were so slow. Do you
remember how I got all the passengers to chant, hurry up, Caralida,
(26:47):
hurry up, caral It was crazy, hilarious. It was hilarious.
I would have I would have loved to see that.
I'm sorry to interrupted. I just the elderly have no
idea what we're trying to do here at this episode.
We have a great guest with a fascinating career, and
you're just kind of like shoehorning this vague idea about
(27:08):
helping the elderly. I'm bringing my journalistic point of view,
and that's what people tune in for. You know, there's
at least six or seven shows where people just ask
the same old, boring question. This is the Ron Burgundy podcast.
The audience is paying top dollar for the show, and
they expect something more. We're not. Well, people get the
show for free. It doesn't cost anything to downline, Wait what,
(27:29):
that's a huge mistake. We should fix that. Immediately. Even
with you bringing your journalistic point of view, you're also
talking about hooking up corvette engines to their wheelchairs. Yes,
I am old people, and I think you're you're suggesting
giving molly to senior You're never too older, party, don't
be ages. Back me up here, Dylan. I just think
that what you're saying is your responsible and possibly a
(27:51):
little dean and I think what you're saying is a
real snooze. And my new best friend Dylan Frances agrees.
I mean, honestly, if I was an old person, I'd
probably be doing a molly we I mean, here's the thing.
We have so much to learn from people who are
older than us. I think we can all agree on that, right,
But it's also important to listen to young voices as well.
(28:11):
You're a young fellow. Your voice is valid and I
want you to know that. So, Dylan, if you use
your voice right now, say whatever you want, even if
it's gibberish. Uh, put on the spot? Really, there you go,
that's it, put on the spot. But the good nailed
(28:32):
it right. It's important. That's important to say that and
get that out of there. Yeah, I would have said
I didn't want to offer you that. I mean, honestly,
what I said is not even I mean it's probably
on the same on part of with with that gibberish,
because it didn't do anything. No no, no, no no, no no.
(28:54):
But your words have power. I I just thought I
was put on the spot, and I thought it was
pure poetry. Thank you. You could weave that into a
song potentially, be I liked it with the lower challenge
to be on the spot, on the spot, put on
(29:22):
the spot, Carolina, hurry, you're asked on the airplane. You're
backing up the line. That doesn't Carolina with your eight
steamer trunks, those are yours, just going your phoenix? They
are mine, But it's part of your job description, right.
I travel with a lot of hat boxes and steamer trunks,
(29:42):
eight steamer trunks. Well, I bring a lot of my
own food wherever I go. Do you bring your own
food wherever you go? You're happy to eat. I'm happy
to eat wherever you bring your own food. I do
a lot of meat that we don't refrigerate because butchered meat.
It's like sides of beef, and a lot of bread,
(30:03):
a lot of bread products. It's understandable and cheese. Do
you know that the French make over two cheeses? No,
I didn't know that. I just learned that just right now. No, No,
I just it was a fact that popped into my head.
Bon that's a musician, Bona bon eva. I don't even
(30:31):
think he's French. I don't think he is either, but
I thank you. That's the correct pronunciation. I learned that
today too. Thank you from Nick Um Dylan. Uh. I
don't know what else to say, but thank you for
joining us, thanks for having me. I think I think

(30:52):
a lot from it. Do do you have anything you
want to plug? Um? Sure? Keep in mind, we have
no idea when this is the Yeah, I think I
think I'll have a new song out within the future

It's like soon, so it'll probably already be out. I
want them to go listen. I mean, this could hear
from six months from now. That's perfect fine. Yeah, yeah,
(31:14):
because I once plugged my house party on my podcast
and no one. Yeah, I mean this is fine because
the song exists forever for exactly, so if it just
is promoting this song. That's totally fine. So go listen,
Jalon Francisco, go listen to the song that change your mind.

The thing that's that's that's a bummer though, is you
(31:56):
know the octogenarian number. They only have sixty I plus
on here. They don't actually cater to that. Well maybe
they can fix that. Well maybe there might be a
real movement to make that adjustment right now technological adjustment. Um,
well terrific and uh you know, I'd like to take
the time to plug that. I will be at the

Norn Bergen, Ron Bergin talking and say anything ron Bergen.
Welcome to the Ron Burgundy Podcast. This is ron Burgundy.
Now listen. People always want to know who I am?
Who is he? This Ron Burgundy character, the myth, the legend,
(00:23):
the felon, And I'm not going to be shy, and
I'm gonna tell the folks who I am. Well, I'm
a man first, that's for sure. And I'm a news anchor. Second, yeah,
and then then third, I'm a responsible pet owner. And fourth,
I may let's see what I wrote here? Okay. Fourth,
(00:44):
I'm a musician. Yes, I'm a jazz flute wonder kind.
And five I'm a lover. That's it, folks, I'm a
man first, lover last. Actually, let's take that back. Let's
switch those. I want to be a love her first
and a man last. There you go done. Well, Uh,
(01:05):
that doesn't work either. Back to the drawing board. Roun.
You don't have to do this, but we know who
you are. I don't know why you're prioritizing traits about yourself.
Where do you think I should throw in Christian? I
don't know. Are you super Christian? Not really? But this
is all from my bumble profile. I'm just trying to
(01:26):
meet some nice women on this thing. But life on
these dating apps is wild. Girls will ignore you and
leave you in the gut or so to speak. Or
they'll say they want to keep in my deep. Wow,
that's very forward of them. Yeah, I know. It's like,
can I just say hello first? I don't want to
see your butt, you know, until the first date. Anyway,
(01:49):
all these dating apps ask you to describe yourself and
your interests, So here goes nothing. You're going to put
down lover and man and Christian and world class musician.
Are you going to mention that you have a son? Um?
I usually wait till I'm two months in and then
just bring my son on a date. Romantic surprises, women
(02:12):
love them. Speaking of love, we have a musician in
the house today known for his love songs. Many couples
get together after his shows. You probably know who I'm
talking about, uh Nick, If you don't mind, let's cue
up one of his songs. Ah, Yes, one of my
(02:35):
favorites to play over a romantic Italian dinner. Really, it
seems more like the music you hear at No, that's right.
D J. Dillon Francis is in the house to teach
us all about E. D M. The music of love. Nick,
can you play that that song that always makes me cry?
(03:06):
Tugs at the hard strings, doesn't it? Oh my goodness,
ring me out. I'm like a wet towel, just beats.
I know you feel the same, Carolina, right at all. Well,
let's give the heartbroken a second to recover from that.
And in the studio next is Dylan Francis. Bring a
(03:28):
box of tissues. Folks, welcome back to the Ron Burgundy Podcast.
This is Ron Burgundy, and of course I'm joined by
Captain fort Face a K. Carolina. Anyway, we are so excited.
(03:54):
How excited are we? Captain? I don't want that nickname,
but answer the questions? Good will you? Please give a
Ron Burgundy Podcast. Welcome to the man behind the motown sound,
Dylan Francis. Dylan, thank you for coming today. Thank you.
I'm gonna clap for myself. It's like a morning Zoo
(04:15):
c group it. Yes, Dylan, we really appreciate you. Know what.
I want to apologize right off, because I just happened
to look up and make eye contact with you, and
I can see you're You're in your early thirties. Yes,
I was clearly wrong about the whole Motown sound thing.
You had nothing to do with the Motown town. But
do you like motown music? I do. You don't know
(04:36):
if I could name any off the top of my head,
but um well, let's see scrill X is definitely the
biggest Motown beach boys. Were they not from Detroit? No? No, Well,
I guess we don't know anything about Eminem because of
the m Motown man. That's what the short from Motown.
(04:56):
He is from Michigan. That's where the eight mile talk
about eight mile? Right right? Have you seen it? I
would love to get it a deep dive on eight mile.
I think I'm the wrong guy. So let's start with
the basics. How did you get started? How did music
into your life? I mean from a young age. You know,
(05:18):
you have the radio just going so my parents, my
dad always listened to him. Actually, were you like listening
to like raffie music? No? No No, I was listening to
a lot of like one on one point one, Okay,
here is one on one. It was. It was all
the classics, and then my mom would would do one
or two points and it would be really funny if
my dad listened to that too, he did not, Um,
(05:40):
I just I kind of got into music through that,
and then, uh, like for actually working in music, I
think it was it was just through my friend playing
a lot of like dance music in his car and
I didn't know what it was, and I was really
into metal music and punk music at the time, and
then that's what I was like, what is this? Sounds
like the advanced version of that metal music is music?
(06:05):
I'm lost here. That sounds like two pieces of metal
scraping together. I guess you could say, so it's loud music. Okay,
it's it's a lot of a lot of so like
when someone's belting out the national anthem that's considered metal music.
That's loud. Yes, it's more like it screaming, like you could,
(06:30):
like Katy Perry so close. But okay, well, none of
us are good at classifying music. UM so what are
we doing here? Honestly, Carolina, I mean you're supposed to
be driving the train here. I'm learning just as much
as you are. I mean maybe I'm less behind, but
(06:51):
let's talk about this. So working as an E D
M DJ, now that's the correct terminology, right, and produce
or I mean you you take a lot from different
musical influences, right, so, and I know now this, I
do know reggaeton yeah is a big is big for you,
(07:12):
right but but I read when you were younger you
were very into punk music. Yes, so I just said, yes,
you just said that. Yes, Okay, Shoot, somehow if lessened
this biz a long time without listening, um some of
the artists that inspired you, uh Pure Prairie League, Atlanta
Rhythm Section, Uh, Captain and to Neil, but not to Neil.
(07:35):
This is my bio. I'm just asking. I don't think
Captain ever. I don't think none, none of those groups,
neither of those two. Okay, scratch that off. Let me
get my pin scratch off. Done. So I imagine you
know a lot of being a producer and making electronic
(07:57):
music involves sitting in front of a computer. Yeah, a lot.
Do you feel you made a good decision there? Not?
Sometimes now got a bad back from it? Definitely? Okay? Right? Yeah?
Do you do you have one of those walking computer?
You know where you stand? You're supposed to like standing DUTs,
thank you, because sitting is supposed to kill us? Now
it is? Who said that? No? That's just the new studies.
(08:19):
Not supposed to sit, it's going to kill you. You're
not ever supposed to sit, never again. So the computer,
I mean the computer, it's it's I mean, it is
in someone. It's a very smart choice. It's easy to
carry around. He's very Do you ever do you ever
look at a guy, for instance, who plays like the
tuba and has to lug it all over the place
and think, nice job, idiot, I'm an international superstar DJ.
(08:41):
Just because I brought, you know, a laptop and you're
lugging around a tuba. Look some kind of absolutely um.
Sometimes I sit at the airport and I just wait,
wait for those people, for the tuba people, And I
look at them and I go, if you really new
wrong choice, buddy? This may be an obscure rest reference
to our listener for our list Oh my god, come on, Ron,
(09:05):
get it together. Ah. We were so lucky to have
you here today. And I thought it'd be a great
chance to tackle a subject on this show that's really
important to me. And you know what, Actually I'm gonna
I'm gonna backtrack here. I want to get to that
question later, but I want to ask you, Okay, let's
(09:27):
throw some names out here. Test Yes know him? Diplow
know him? Z is that? Yes? I know him? Is
that I'm supposed to say I know him? Or whatever
you want, whatever comes to your mind. This is kind
of a lightning round know him? Marshmallow, you know that
guy too? Cascade, Yep, Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Dead Mouse,
(09:51):
Sarah Huckabeat Sanders. I didn't know she was a DJ.
She is round underground. Yeah, mostly in conservative circles. A
lot of people going to those shows. Sure, I'd love
to actually huge R and yes is going after parties. Actually,
(10:14):
Ed Mayor Ed Coach loves it, really couches even though
he's dead. Now, are you saying the ghost of Ed
Coach loves Sarah Huckabats, Yeah he did. Let's sick a
moment of silence? Four departed New York Mayor Ed Cotch Nick.
(10:41):
Do you have any music you could play while we
take this moment of silence? Perfect? Thank you? Um let
me get back to this other topic saying about which,
like I said, so thankful to have you, thank you,
And I want to discuss something that's really important to
(11:02):
me and I think it would be helpful and education. Well, ah,
come on, Rod, what is it? I got the Monday
blas who last night I was down at the pier
sport fishing. You're not supposed to do that anymore? Well,
I love it. It's passion of mine. In fact, I
should have put it on the bumble thing sport fishing. Yeah,
(11:27):
I just got on bumble today. How how is it
we'll find out he's trying to get on Riya but
he's wait list. I'm waitlisted on Riya. I can hook
you up. You could jump me to the front of
the line. Yeah. Those all the names you listed are
that's what you were listing them for their exactly. We're
all on there. This is, you know, learning how to
be one of the great days in my life. Yes, Rya,
(11:50):
here we come, Ron Burgundy on riot. Um, so let's
discuss the topic how to care for the elderly. That's
a good one. Um, Dylan, your thoughts? Should we do
more for the elderly? Should we just do this topic now?
I mean maybe we should stick to music. No, Caroline,
that's so boring. When I heard Dylan Francis was coming in,
(12:13):
I thought, who better to tackle the subject of caring
for the elderly than Dylan Francis and E D M. Superstar.
It just felt right. And you know, I always like
to go with my gut. When when is my gut
ever been wrong? I none are coming to mind because
I'm so overwhel I'm actually paralyzed. Try and game just
one good, let's just start there, Dylan. A lot of
(12:35):
older people are confined to wheelchairs. We need to make
our world more wheelchair accessible in general, don't you think? Yeah,
I've who would say no to that? Always? I'm asking
the DJ here, so you agree. I agree that we
shouldn't do that. Shouldn't have controversial opinion. I have more
(13:00):
accessibility for wheelchairs. We should have should have it? Yes? Great?
And also if you're if you're in a wheelchair, have
fun with it, Yes, have fun with it, especially like
the motorized ones. Yeah, the rascals. Yeah, the rascals, Well,
a jazzy that's what they're called. They're jazzys. They're also
called jazzys. That's another like the rascal Rascal. I um,
(13:25):
I'm a bit of a rascal. Yes, And I volunteer
at a nursing home once in a while. And I
don't like to make a big deal out of it,
But it really lightens up people's faces when they see
old Ron Burgundy come into a visit. Do you find
that with your fans they're happy to see you at
meet and greets? Yeah? Do you do a lot of
(13:47):
meet and greets sometimes? Is it? How many people would
that be? Uh? Like, you know, like in one meet
and greet for like the show, So after the show
you'll meet with five hundred people. I mean I I
used to like, go out to the home. How do
you how do you have the energy to talk to
five d people? Let's give him hugs? Wow? I would
(14:11):
limit it to five five Ron would limit it to
five and say only ladies please, which was kind of insulting.
But um, so, you know, I just find that going
to nursing homes is just a small way to give
back to the community, and in particularly with the elderly
folks I deal with um And I have this one
gentleman I see regularly. He's a retired lieutenant colonel. He's
(14:38):
a veteran, purple heart, the whole deal, a true American hero.
And last weekend I rigged up his motorized wheelchair with
the engine from an old nineteen seventy Corvette Stingray LT
one and I must have got that sucker going up
to around one mile maybe maybe hundred and thirty. Isn't
that awesome? He was. He went on the away, he
(15:00):
went on the freeway. He loved it, and he said
thanks for bringing me back to the glory days. He
didn't I feel like he loved it. I was against
the idea, but then when I saw him on it, right, Okay, yeah,
I mean I would just assume that that would cause
I mean, he was just irreparable. Damna. He came back
hard or kidney failure, yeah, um, he had a he
(15:23):
had a little bit of kidney failure. Okay, he said
it was worth the whole thing. I mean, he was
just risen around the grounds of the nursing home as
the time of his life. People, the people in charge
of the facility got a little uptight with me, but
I just said, hey, I'm Ron Burgundy. Yeah that was it. Yeah,
that was my only reson. Did they say please stop?
(15:45):
They said please stop, and we're gonna have to call
the police, and law enforcement did show up. So Dylan Frances,
what ways do you try to give back to the community. Um,
I mean I donate money to parks and l a
trying to get more parks and then just parks of
general dog parks, just parks, just just making sure we
(16:07):
have actually, like you know, because I've been we need
open spaces. Yeah, I've been in the UK. They have
really nice parks we just don't have. And then I
give a lot to Music Cares, which is a music
organization that for the arts and it actually exists. Yes,
it's not a it's not a fake charity. Run has
(16:28):
been interested in creating a charity just you should. I
would donate to it. Well it's called more Spaghetti, Okay,
I wouldn't take it that it's just about more spaghetti
for people. We don't have to get into it. I
actually I actually kind of feed the elderly more spaghetti. Yeah,
I mean if they don't know, if they necessarily need
more spaghetti. I feel like if you do it too
(16:49):
for homeless people though, that's fantastic. Well maybe that's what
we'll do. Yeah, maybe that's a good idea, after we
take a little bit off the top. Yeah, do you
have parents and they must be awfully proud of what
you've accomplished. Yeah, my grandma is and what do they
make of your music? I mean, she definitely if I
(17:10):
played it for her, she wouldn't know it was my music,
and she would probably be like, I don't want to
hear this, but she's proud, So they enjoy it or
I don't think so, Okay, maybe some of them. There's
there's probably a you know, maybe two that I could
play her that she would be fine. Like what I mean,
what portion of fandom do you think you have in
(17:30):
the elderly community? Oh man? I mean I could look
at my analytics on Twitter or or Instagram and it
would be an interesting study. I I could look right
to see. Let's look right now. Let's look right now.
Let's see how many octogenarians you have who consider themselves fans.
Let's see who love to get down to the beats
um so that you can access Yeah, I'm not accessing
(17:53):
it right now. Sixty four? We got one? Okay, sixty
five plus I guess what, so one percent? These are
the real one percenters, octogenarians who love d M while
they're doing uh, you know, water aerobics at the pool.
(18:15):
Yeah h thanks to them, thank you s m H. Right, Yeah,
what do you think that means smh. Surely must help
is what I always thought it man, it means shake
my head, but it's okay. Shake Why would you want
to shake your head? Sma smack? Am I right? Big time? Small? Yeah,
(18:43):
let's talk about cholesterol medication lipatore good for controlling cholesterol levels?
Or should people change their diets as well? I I
legally I am not allowed to comment because the last
time I did, right, I got okay because I don't
know the specifics about to be able to common senses.
(19:06):
Put down the cheeseburger, yes, or pick up the lipertur Yes,
that's both some people need. But who knows. I'm I
don't know what the right answer is. I'm not a doctor.
If you're listening, what about molly? Do you ever take
that stuff when I was younger? Should senior citizens take ecstasy?
(19:27):
Mn't think so. It's pretty rough, but it's interesting. I
wonder of your one per centers, if they're just riding
the molly train all day long, they could be What
do you think about this? I just thought of this idea,
so forgive me if it's not fleshed out. How about
a DJ school for senior citizens? M would that be
(19:49):
something you'd be interested in setting up. Um, just get
a bunch of octogenarians in a room, teach them about
beat matching, cross fader, curve control, get some loops going,
make some beats that honestly sounds like my own personal
helpload it to SoundCloud. Not interested? Not How do you
where did you learn those words? How do you know
(20:10):
so much about DJ technique? Well, Carolina, you don't know
everything about me. Okay, When I was doing cable news
in New York City in the eighties, actually befriended Grand
Master Flash for a period of time, and he showed
me a couple of things on the ones and twos,
and it's nothing like what Dylan can do here. But
but the Flash and I did put out a single
(20:32):
around three called news Funk two thousand. Quite serious? Can
we hear it? I thought you'd never ask DJ Dillon Frances,
Thank you, Carolina didn't ask me. Well, I didn't even know. Nick.
Do you have news funk? Nick? You always have news
Fun two thousand? Loaded up? Ready to go? All right,
let's take okay, let's take a ride. Here. It is
(20:55):
from news Funk two thousand. Brod bro Bro bro bro
(21:23):
Bro one glast three two one blast too hot? See? Wow?
Was that not? That was interesting? What? It never made
(21:46):
it on the radio except for a couple of college
station Yeah. Why was it called news Funk two thousand?
Beak um, Yeah, it's not very newsy? Yeah, I think
it was. What did it sound anything like the two
thous I think we were trying to predict what the
two thousand sound was going to be like and wasn't that.
It wasn't It wasn't this. But the drum machine was cool. Right,
(22:10):
that's the best part. Um. I wish you Why are
you laughing so much? It's maybe it's flattering. I feel
like I never want to play it again. It's producing emotion.
It's good. Absolutely, there you go. That absolutely is the
way to take that. Okay, Well, I feel like you
(22:31):
guys are making fun of me, but whatever, I have
enough self esteem to know that Ron, you can do
whatever you want. In news Funk two thousand, you took
a chance, and um, you know that's what life is
all about. You took an artistic chance and it went.
I'm not going to be made to feel no, I
went somewhere. It went exactly, thank you. In fact, that
(22:52):
was one of the reviews of news Funk two thousand.
This song went somewhere. One of the call newspapers said,
well it went somewhere. What were some of the other
if there? If you could name off? Very negative, very yeah, okay,
very negative. Sorry. Um let me ask you this. Do
(23:12):
you meditate? Um? I used to, and then well it
was when I was younger and my dad made me wow, okay,
which is really counterproductive to meditating. Why would you make
someone forceful meditation? So he's like, son, for the last
time you got to meditate, it was it's six o'clock
(23:33):
meditation time. Sounded exactly like that. I just got flashbacks, Dylan,
for Christ's sake? Did you meditate? Was that kind of
the wow? So? So you never felt relaxed? No? No,
The reason we had to meditate was we it was
so that we could watch TV. So it was a tradeoff.
(23:55):
It was a trade off meditate. And how long was
the meditation period supposed to? Like an hour and hour?
A lot of breathing experts. Now I'm on your side,
maybe fifteen minutes. My dad still wakes up and at
every morning. Did you find it helped you so much?
Or were you just say it was too much of
a punishment. I'm a as a little kid. Your mind exactly.
(24:18):
I mean, my mind is going a mile a minute
right now. I try to meditate every morning and I can't. Immediately,
I started thinking about eight Mile, the movie eight Mile,
and how we have to save the people from the
nuclear reactor mailt down to three mile Oland. That's not
what the movie was about, though. Gosh, I wish we
could watch it right now and have this debate. It's
(24:38):
not I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree.
It's not what the movie is about though. Even well, anyway,
when I meditate, that's those are the images that I'm
pouring through my mind. It's like a carnival of horrors
in my brain no matter what I do. So, so
what do you do now to relax your mind and
(24:59):
clear your head? Cause I'm sure you have a hectic schedule. Um,
I take you know, take naps or something like that.
And I just I enjoy working. I'm very thankful for
Do you wake up and you just like boom, I've
got a new beat, a new rhythm, a new a
new song in my head. It's either that or like
video ideas for for like music videos the visual expression
(25:20):
of what you've already done. You But yeah, it's like that,
or it's just sitting down in front of the computer
and then kind of just you know, chipping away at whatever.
I imagine you travel a lot for your work. How
many how many dates a year are you on the road?
Probably like a hundred and forty something, hundred and fifty something,
pretty extensive. A lot of traveling, A lot of traveling.
(25:44):
Back to the elderly. Speaking of traveling, you know, and
though I work with the elderly, sometimes I do kind
of resent the fact that they're able to get on
a plane before me, just because they're old and needs
special assistance, you know, especially when I'm flying first class,
as I'm sure you do all the time. Don't you
think first class passengers and elderly people should be able
(26:05):
to peacefully board an airplane at the same time, don't they.
I mean, Ron has pushed me over when we've boarded
a plan at the same time. I mean, I'll help
an old lady put her bag in the overhead compartment,
but but I'm going to put my bag up first,
you know, it's understandable. Then I'll help the old bag
(26:25):
of bones. Imagine you do the same right down, I
think I would put her bag first, not mine. Chivalry
is not dead. Last time we got on a plane together,
you kicked me in the back of the knees and
said go faster because you were so slow. Do you
remember how I got all the passengers to chant, hurry up, Caralida,
(26:47):
hurry up, caral It was crazy, hilarious. It was hilarious.
I would have I would have loved to see that.
I'm sorry to interrupted. I just the elderly have no
idea what we're trying to do here at this episode.
We have a great guest with a fascinating career, and
you're just kind of like shoehorning this vague idea about
(27:08):
helping the elderly. I'm bringing my journalistic point of view,
and that's what people tune in for. You know, there's
at least six or seven shows where people just ask
the same old, boring question. This is the Ron Burgundy podcast.
The audience is paying top dollar for the show, and
they expect something more. We're not. Well, people get the
show for free. It doesn't cost anything to downline, Wait what,
(27:29):
that's a huge mistake. We should fix that. Immediately. Even
with you bringing your journalistic point of view, you're also
talking about hooking up corvette engines to their wheelchairs. Yes,
I am old people, and I think you're you're suggesting
giving molly to senior You're never too older, party, don't
be ages. Back me up here, Dylan. I just think
that what you're saying is your responsible and possibly a
(27:51):
little dean and I think what you're saying is a
real snooze. And my new best friend Dylan Frances agrees.
I mean, honestly, if I was an old person, I'd
probably be doing a molly we I mean, here's the thing.
We have so much to learn from people who are
older than us. I think we can all agree on that, right,
But it's also important to listen to young voices as well.
(28:11):
You're a young fellow. Your voice is valid and I
want you to know that. So, Dylan, if you use
your voice right now, say whatever you want, even if
it's gibberish. Uh, put on the spot? Really, there you go,
that's it, put on the spot. But the good nailed
(28:32):
it right. It's important. That's important to say that and
get that out of there. Yeah, I would have said
I didn't want to offer you that. I mean, honestly,
what I said is not even I mean it's probably
on the same on part of with with that gibberish,
because it didn't do anything. No no, no, no no, no no.
(28:54):
But your words have power. I I just thought I
was put on the spot, and I thought it was
pure poetry. Thank you. You could weave that into a
song potentially, be I liked it with the lower challenge
to be on the spot, on the spot, put on
(29:22):
the spot, Carolina, hurry, you're asked on the airplane. You're
backing up the line. That doesn't Carolina with your eight
steamer trunks, those are yours, just going your phoenix? They
are mine, But it's part of your job description, right.
I travel with a lot of hat boxes and steamer trunks,
(29:42):
eight steamer trunks. Well, I bring a lot of my
own food wherever I go. Do you bring your own
food wherever you go? You're happy to eat. I'm happy
to eat wherever you bring your own food. I do
a lot of meat that we don't refrigerate because butchered meat.
It's like sides of beef, and a lot of bread,
(30:03):
a lot of bread products. It's understandable and cheese. Do
you know that the French make over two cheeses? No,
I didn't know that. I just learned that just right now. No, No,
I just it was a fact that popped into my head.
Bon that's a musician, Bona bon eva. I don't even
(30:31):
think he's French. I don't think he is either, but
I thank you. That's the correct pronunciation. I learned that
today too. Thank you from Nick Um Dylan. Uh. I
don't know what else to say, but thank you for
joining us, thanks for having me. I think I think
this was a spirited and productive conversation and we learned
(30:52):
a lot from it. Do do you have anything you
want to plug? Um? Sure? Keep in mind, we have
no idea when this is the Yeah, I think I
think I'll have a new song out within the future
with Lovely the Band. In the future. Yeah, in the future.
It's like soon, so it'll probably already be out. I
want them to go listen. I mean, this could hear
from six months from now. That's perfect fine. Yeah, yeah,
(31:14):
because I once plugged my house party on my podcast
and no one. Yeah, I mean this is fine because
the song exists forever for exactly, so if it just
is promoting this song. That's totally fine. So go listen,
Jalon Francisco, go listen to the song that change your mind.
Change your mind with Lovely the Band. Lovely the Band,
(31:35):
listen now listen now perfect you are getting sleepy. Also,
I'm very excited to see the numbers of on my
answer if you get boost boost I think I think
I'll send you a screenshot. Did you report back to
if this has had any effect on your Absolutely that would.
The thing that's that's that's a bummer though, is you
(31:56):
know the octogenarian number. They only have sixty I plus
on here. They don't actually cater to that. Well maybe
they can fix that. Well maybe there might be a
real movement to make that adjustment right now technological adjustment. Um,
well terrific and uh you know, I'd like to take
the time to plug that. I will be at the
(32:16):
San Diego Va Hospital every other Sunday if you have
a wheelchair and you'd like it hooked up to a
drone to see if we can try and do that
and get it up in the air. Just come find
your friend Ron Burgundy. I don't care what the administrators say.
Let's do this. Dylan it's been a pleasure. I'm actually
gonna show up for that. I'd love to go, Okay
(32:38):
every Sunday. Yeah, I'll be there, Beautiful. We'll be right
back with the Ron Burgundy Podcast. And we'd back the
Ron Burgundy Podcast. Welcome back, because back. I hope you
(33:02):
learned today that E d M can do so much.
It can bring you in a loved one closer when
you've been together for so long you grimace when you
see them across the room. It can help the elderly
find their groove. But it can't cure diabetes. That's important
to make clear. Carolina. Did you have a crush on
(33:24):
DJ Dillon Francis. Oh no, Remember I've been seeing that
printmaker I met at the Bonnie Very Show. Literally, don't
