Speaker 1 (00:11):
He's a sad babe.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
This is the stock show version of the theme song
that we will use every year going forward as the
stock show takes hold in Colorado. And joining me now
is the guy who went into his basement, Justin Renault
and recorded this song. Now, is that you on the
steel guitar? Justin?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
You know we can get into the steel guitar. That's
not But first off, thank you for having me. I
can't believe I'm here right now.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Well, I'm excited to meet you and and Justin. If
you guys could see him, you would see he's got
a very fancy microphone. You play a lot of music,
but this isn't like what you do for a living.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
It's not you know.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
I kind of worry doing music professionally might make it
a little less fun I do. I just I love
doing it for for the passion behind it. That being said,
you know, you never know what the future may hold,
you know, usually Mandy, this time of day, I'm sitting
in my truck eating my lunch, listening to your show,
and now I'm on the show.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
So well he knows.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Yeah, a guy can dream. So tell me about when
you started in music. First of all, when did you
start playing? Was it something you've always done?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah? Yeah, at a young age.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
My my grandfather played guitar and he kind of showed
me the ropes. And really most musicians will tell you
it's a it's a lifelong passion and journey and a
relationship that you have with music. And so that's always been,
you know, part of my identity. But I haven't really
found a way to, you know, turn it into a profession,
so to speak. But really all my life just playing
(01:54):
in local bands and stuff, and now here.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
We are, well, I want to commend to you on
the quality of this. First of all, how did you
create the stock show version of the Mandy Connall theme?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Well, you know, I remember when you first got your
theme song and I was kind of like, wait a minute,
you mean to tell me you can just record a
theme song for your because my understanding was that was
listener submitted.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah, it was raight. It was submitted by a guy
named Ty who made it using AI and he wrote
the lyrics but used AI to make the music and everything.
And I was just like what again, like you, I
was like, I didn't even know you could do that.
But he gave his permission to use it, so now
it is a part of the show.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Wow. Well see, I didn't know it was Ai.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
I first heard it and I thought it was another
guy like me who recorded it in his basement. And
I thought, you mean to tell me you can record
a theme song for your favorite talk show host and
just email it to them and then they'll play it forever,
you know, immortalizing you and the lore and the culture
of the Mandy Connall Show forever.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
And I was like, oh man, he beat me to it.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
So when I knew this stock show was coming, I
was like, maybe this is my chance to do the
country version of what are we gonna call it?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Rule in the Day?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Yeah, there you go, Rull in the Day. That's a
great country music song. Actually title so is country music
the genre that.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
You prefer nowadays? It is.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
But it's funny because it's a new thing for me,
to be totally honest.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I'm born and raised in Aurora, Colorado.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
So it's not very rural, and I'll be honest when
you listen to the song.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I didn't know you were going to have me on.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
I thought I could be an anonymous country voice, so
I really turned up the country twang on my voice.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Thinking, you know, maybe people will just think.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
This is who I am, but truthfully speaking, you know,
I'm not a country boy.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
I just love country music.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I love country music because at this juncture, like this
moment in time especially, and it's always been this way
for me, it's the most Americana form of music right.
And don't get me wrong, there are other American forms
of music. Jazz is a specifically American form of music,
Blues is a specifically American form of music. But I
put the country music in the Americana version because, especially
(04:04):
in radio, if you know the history of radio, including
KOA Radio, it was built on the backs of these
families that came in to the studio and they played
country and Western music and that's what built radio stations.
So it's also the most pro American form of music
out there and feels the most patriotic so often. So
(04:24):
that's why I love it. And I was thrilled to
get this version of your song. Now. Justin and I
were talking before he came on the air, and he said, Manny,
I've done a little bit of a parody song. Can
I do it?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Now?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
He did a parody song that is a parody of
a commercial that is despised by most and I'm not
even gonna give the name, but it sounds like Mars
for PIDs. Okay, but here's the deal, justin, I don't
want to play it on the air because I've been
rabbl rousing about that particular commercial for so long. I
don't want to bring anything down on my head. But
(04:57):
you put that on social media and I will be
more than happy to share it across all of my
platforms because I really want to hear it. I really
want to hear it.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
I can't wait to share it with you. I had
my guitar and my harmonica ready to go, so that'll
just be a teaser for us and we can we can.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
You know, I'll be.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Happy to share that version with you. I'm not get
you in any any kind of trouble.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Do you too have a love for the harmonica like
our friend Jimmy Singenburger does?
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I sure do, But I mean I don't hold a
candle to Jimmy's playing, and so you know, maybe maybe
I could collaborate with him down the road.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
But I thought of him. I was like, man, I
need Jimmy on this one.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
You need a little backup harmonica on this song. No,
I loved it justin. I can't tell you much I
appreciated it. You send me that parody song and we
will make sure it gets heard.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
We will make sure.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
But please, do you know, and and you know, kind
of going back to this not being my profession, I did.
I did think, you know, I can't let this opportunity
of being on Mandy Show, you know, pass me by.
So I did make a website where you can actually
listen to the Mandy Connor theme song. You can download
it for free there. The website is Colorado justin dot com,
so pretty simple. But please also email me. You know,
(06:11):
I do want to start a band and it's not
quite probably as country as as what you're hearing, but
I'm a songwriter as well. I've got you know, probably
eight nine songs. I want to do an album.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
I want to put a band together.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
So if you want to collaborate, please go to Colorado
justin dot com and let's get this show on the road.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
And I think if it was all Mandy Connor listeners,
you can name the band the right stuff. I'm just
throwing that out there. I'm just throwing it out there,
Justin Renau. Thank you so much for your time and
the song is fantastic. I will put your website on
the blog as soon as I get done talking to
you right now, and then people can reach out to
you if they want to get together and play some
music with you. I appreciate it, man.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Thanks so much for sharing it.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
It was so much fun to make, and the reason
I made it was because I'm a huge fan.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
First, So keep up the great Your show is awesome.
We love it, Mandy. To talk to you soon.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
It's a mutual admiration society. Justin, I appreciate you all right.
