>> Stephen: ARTISTIC SQUALOR.
HEY, EVERYBODY, WELCOME BACK!
HERE WE GO!
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I'M HERE, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW,
WITH THE GREAT JACK WHITE.
HE'S A SINGER, SONGWRITER, RECORD PRODUCER, MAN WHO
CONSIDERS ME HIS CLOSEST PERSONAL FRIEND...
>> SURE.
>> STEPHEN: AND I'M HONORED.
>> YEAH, SURE.
>> STEPHEN: I'M HONORED, YOU KNOW.
THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY.
I KNOW YOU'RE ALWAYS BUSY.
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE RELEASING TWO SOLO ALBUMS THIS YEAR.
BUT WHAT I DID NOT KNOW, AND THIS SURPRISED ME, IS THAT
YOU'RE ACTUALLY PUTTING OUT A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER RECORDS
THIS YEAR.
>> WE WERE GOING TO CONTACT YOU ABOUT THIS.
A LOT OF THE RECORDS THAT WE WORKED ON.
>> STEPHEN: RIGHT.
YOU SHOULD'VE CONTACTED ME, BECAUSE I'M ON ALL OF THEM.
>> THAT'S CORRECT.
>> STEPHEN: WHICH I DID NOT KNOW.
>> YEAH, EXACTLY.
>> STEPHEN: OKAY, A LITTLE SHOCKING.
RUDE.
BUT, I'M EXCITED TO SEE WHAT THESE RECORDS ARE.
BECAUSE, HERE'S THE THING-- WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THESE
RECORDS ARE.
MY GRAPHICS TEAM JUST PUT TOGETHER A BUNCH OF ALBUM
COVERS.
WE HAVE NOT SEEN THE COVERS.
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT THEM, AND WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO
REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO RECORD ALL OF THESE.
>> YEAH.
>> STEPHEN: AND MAYBE WE CAN GENERATE SOME INDUSTRY BUZZ!
>> YES, OKAY!
>> STEPHEN: YOU KNOW, A LITTLE HEAT FOR THESE ALBUMS.
>> SHIFT SOME UNITS.
>> STEPHEN: SHIP SOME UNITS?
>> SHIFT SOME UNITS.
>> STEPHEN: SHIFT SOME UNITS?
UH-HUH.
>> SOME MUSIC BIZ TALK.
>> STEPHEN: PIPE SOME HEAT.
YEP, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
>> YEAH, PIPE SOME HEAT.
>> STEPHEN: SEE IF WE CAN TONGUE IT!
>> YEAH.
>> STEPHEN: THAT'S WHAT THE KIDS SAY-- "WOW, YOU'RE REALLY
TONGUING IT!" >> YEAH, THEY DO SAY THAT.
>> STEPHEN: YEAH, SO, IT'S TIME FOR "MAYBE DROPPING SOON."
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ♪ ♪ ♪
>> STEPHEN: THANK YOU FOR RECORDING OUR THEME SONG
RIGHT THERE.
>> NO PROBLEM.
THAT TOOK ME TEN SECONDS.
>> STEPHEN: ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO-- THESE ARE THE ALBUMS THAT
JACK AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN.
HERE WE GO.
HERE'S THE FIRST ONE.
OKAY.
MAYBE DROPPING SOON.
>> OH, YEAH.
>> STEPHEN: IT'S COLBERT AND WHITE, "FENNEL, DILL, TARRAGON &
CHIVES."
YEAH.
>> THERE WAS A THING I HAD BEEN CREATING IN THE MARKETPLACE WITH
SIMON AND GARFUNKEL'S RATHER, WHAT ENDED UP BEING INFERIOR TO
THIS ALBUM, "ROSEMARY AND THYME" AND ALL OF THAT.
>> STEPHEN: RIGHT.
>> WE THOUGHT THERE WERE PLENTY OF OTHER SPICES THAT HADN'T BEEN
TALKED ABOUT YET.
>> STEPHEN: RIGHT.
THE FENNEL, THE DILL, THE TARRAGON AND CHIVES.
YOU KNOW, WHAT SURPRISED ME ABOUT-- ABOUT THIS, AND I DIDN'T
THINK THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT I LOVED THE CHOICE-- IS THAT
YOU DECIDED TO DO THE ENTIRE ALBUM COSPLAYING AS A YOUNG
SIGOURNEY WEAVER.
>> I DID, YEAH, EXACTLY.
THAT ACTUALLY WORKED, BECAUSE THIS CAME OUT IN '84, RIGHT
BEFORE "GHOST BUSTERS."
>> STEPHEN: YEAH, YEAH.
WHO YOU GONNA CALL?
>> US.
>> STEPHEN: YEAH.
"FRENCH KISS, CIRQUE DU PSYCHO."
>> YEAH!
>> STEPHEN: WHAT'S AMAZING ABOUT THIS IS, YOU CAN ROCK THIS HARD
WITHOUT MAKING A SOUND.
>> EXACTLY, YEAH.
>> STEPHEN: IT'S JUST 40 MINUTES OF SILENCE.
>> YES.
AND MARCEL MARCEAU DID ACTUALLY RELEASE A VINYL RECORD OF
COMPLETE SILENCE AT ONE TIME, AND WE THOUGHT WE WOULD EXPAND
ON THAT.
>> STEPHEN: SURE.
WE WERE INSPIRED BY THAT.
AND I RECOMMEND PEOPLE JUST CRANK THIS THING AND RIP OFF THE
KNOB.
>> RIGHT, BUT ALSO INCLUDE KISS INTO IT, TOO.
YOU KNOW, TWO OF THE FOUR MEMBERS OF KISS.
>> STEPHEN: DID YOU HAVE A FAVORITE KISS SONG GROWING UP?
I KNOW WE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT THE ALBUMS, BUT--
>> OH, I'M FROM DETROIT, SO I GUESS "DETROIT ROCK CITY."
>> STEPHEN: SURE, YEAH.
>> WHICH WE COVER ON THIS, IN SILENCE.
>> Stephen: RIGHT.
AND LASTLY, "COLBERT & WHITE: YO HO HO AND A
BASKET OF SHRIMP!" PLUS 39 OTHER UNAUTHORIZED
JINGLES FOR LONG JOHN SILVER'S!
THIS WAS OUR PITCH TO LONG JOHN SILVER'S, TO TRY TO DO THE ADS,
TO TRY TO COME UP WITH A JINGLE.
>> YOUR SEA SHANTY ON HERE ABOUT DEEP-FRIED JALAPENOS IS ON
SIDE B.
>> STEPHEN: "ROCKERS AND POPPERS," IT'S CALLED.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
YOU REMEMBER THE TITLE.
HOW COME YOU DON'T REMEMBER THE WHOLE ALBUM?
>> STEPHEN: WELL, AS YOU TELL ME ABOUT THE ALBUM, I'M REMEMBERING
A FEW THINGS.
AND THEN, YOU HAD THAT GREAT SHANTY ABOUT--
>> BARRETT'S PRIVATEERS.
WHAT?
>> STEPHEN: YOU'RE A FAN OF BARRETT'S PRIVATEERS?
>> ♪ OH THE YEAR WAS...
♪ 1778 HOW I WISH I WAS
IN SHERBROOK NOW ♪ A LETTER OF MARK CAME
FROM THE KING ♪ TO THE SCUMMIEST VESSEL
I'D EVER SEEN ♪ GOD DAMN THEM ALL
I WAS TOLD WE'D CRUISE THE SEAS ♪ FOR AMERICAN GOLD
WE'D FIRE NO GUNS ♪ SHED NO TEARS

THE LAST OF BARRETT'S PRIVATEERS >> OH MY GOD!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> STEPHEN: NUMBER ONE ALBUM!
>> I DIDN'T KNOW YOU KNEW THAT SONG.
>> STEPHEN: I REMEMBER!
JACK WHITE, EVERYBODY.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK!
