Summary

Phil and David welcome their friend Bobby Colomby, the original drummer of Blood, Sweat & Tears and director, writer & producer John Scheinfeld to "Lunch" to discuss "What the Hell Happened to Blood, Sweat & Tears?" a fascinating new political thriller/ music documentary in which David appears alongside the band members and Clive Davis. And because sometimes two great drummers are more fun than just one, Phil & David also invited another friend of theirs to the table -- the legendary drummer Rick Marotta who also wrote the music for "Everybody Loves Raymond" for Phil. Expect a fun, freewheeling and rather jazzy conversation about the acclaimed documentary -- along with drummer jokes, dad jokes & great stories about everyone from The Jacksons to Jaco Pastorius. Take a look here for more info on the film! You can also find tickets and showtimes at https://www.bstdoc.com/watch.

1:01.6	But because one drummer is never enough, if you're our podcast or The Grateful Dead, we got, I will say, and Bobby would say, an even greater drummer, who happened to also
1:14.1	write the theme music, the theme song for a show you like. Yes, my buddy, Rick Marada from
1:22.6	many, many, many records that you know, and you'll find out about them.
1:27.8	But he also wrote all the music on, everybody loves Raymond and the documentary exporting Raymond.
1:36.8	And I thought it would be great to have him here, too.
1:40.1	Let's see if you're right.
1:41.7	Let's spill the beans, chew the fat, food for thought and jokes on tap.
