The Audience Won't Like It
Married hosts Rob and Leslie Shoecraft invite you into their closet (literally) for a podcast that’s equal parts nostalgia trip, music nerd-out, and absurd banter. Born from a joke about how the audience probably won’t like it, the show leans into that spirit—riffing on everything from Star Trek episodes and Kitty Wells deep cuts, to feet, crockpots, and cover songs that live on YouTube thanks to copyright.
Each week, the conversation drifts like two people killing time in line for a concert—unexpected, hilarious, and sometimes strangely profound. Future episodes explore growing up in the 80s and 90s, The Dollhouse Murders, “5 of 5” and borrowed chords in music theory, bodybuilding meal prep, Wu-Tang Clan, Gordon Lightfoot, Alan Thicke, Herb Alpert, and whatever other rabbit holes pop up along the way.
If you like side tangents, forgotten pop culture, and covers of songs your mom might love, you might just find that you do like it after all.

The Wanderers (1979): Everything an Adolescent Boy Wants, Nothing He Needs | Ep 34
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We stand “in line” for an Outkast concert and let the conversation wander from parenting math and bedtime TV to a full-on breakdown of a movie that entertains us while also making us feel genuinely uneasy. We end in our happy place, geeking out over Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, why Outkast keeps evolving, and what it really takes to learn a song well enough to perform it.
• third-child “dog years” and what content feels age-appropriate
• why 24 still works as a cliffhanger machine
• the Jeffries Data Sheet and why we want it to become a searchable app
• What We Do in the Shadows as a mockumentary and the Norma Tanega theme song
• The Wanderers (1979) as coming-of-age drama with genre whiplash
• the classroom scene, what it normalizes, and why it hits so wrong
• soundtrack highs, scene pacing lows, and the parts that feel unresolved
• Outkast’s debut album, Organized Noize, and Southern hip hop history
• covering rap songs by singing the whole verse and practicing with intent
Hey, why don't you go ahead and write in um the comments? What age, what yeah, how you think it works? Dog years for the third child. Way in on that.

Theme Song And Cold Open
SPEAKER_00On this episode of The Audience Will Like It.
SPEAKER_03But I wrote, I missed the days when groups of high school boys used to hang out on the street to cop feels instead of inside playing video games.
SPEAKER_00That's really applying yourself. Every single scene in this movie has is premium entertainment value for an adolescent boy.
SPEAKER_03Maybe as someone who was never an adolescent boy, that's why for me. I just remember what it was funny, but was it trying to be funny?
SPEAKER_00I don't know.
SPEAKER_03It was a zombie movie, but was it trying to be a zombie movie?
SPEAKER_00Kind of everything. So like they're they're almost like hip-hop Beatles in the way that they constantly evolved and it always worked. The key. Okay, two two two keys are gonna sound so stupid. If you want to do a song well, know learn the song really well.
SPEAKER_03Know the song.
SPEAKER_00Say. And two, practice the song a lot.
SPEAKER_03Hey, I think you can be a teacher. Sing to me while I take notes.
SPEAKER_00Oh, okay. Hey, how'd you know I was gonna sing to you?
SPEAKER_03Ah, it's got a feeling.
SPEAKER_00Oh, here we go.
SPEAKER_02Two married friends in a basement room.
SPEAKER_00Oh, well yeah.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I just wondered when you were ever going to be able to sing it without hesitation.
SPEAKER_00With two microphones. They got in a car crash. She died in his own song.
SPEAKER_03Oh wow. It's been a minute since it's been two weeks. We have, it's been two weeks. This is good though.
SPEAKER_00This is our theme song. He kissed her lips. Cause she was still oh, sorry. Warm. The audience.
SPEAKER_03They'll like this least of all. It's okay though. I liked it. I liked it. Isn't that all that matters?
SPEAKER_00Yes. No, it's not. The audience. Oh yeah, no, it doesn't matter if the audience likes it. I always forget the name of our show.
SPEAKER_03It's good if they don't like it.
SPEAKER_00How important it is to us uh for us to devote ourselves to the uh continuity of that claim that is the title. You ready?
SPEAKER_03I think so.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
The Show Premise And Outkast Twist
SPEAKER_00Hey guys, this is a show called The Audience Will Like It. It's a podcast. It's also a video a video podcast.
SPEAKER_03A video cast? Hey, what does pod refer to?
SPEAKER_00Oh.
SPEAKER_03Um like you're inside of a green bean?
SPEAKER_00I don't know. Joe Rogan invented it. He did? No.
SPEAKER_03Shut up.
SPEAKER_00Uh what does pod stand for? Why don't you introduce uh this podcast?
SPEAKER_03Okay, well, welcome to our show, you guys. My name is Leslie Shoecraft.
SPEAKER_00Make sure you tell them we're standing in line.
SPEAKER_03And I'm the wife of Rob Shoecraft. Um this is a line simulation podcast. Waiting in line simulation. So if you like waiting in line, if you don't like waiting in line, you might also be in the right place. But you know, we it's just like as if we were waiting in line. You can see here that we're waiting in line. We have some turnstiles, stanchion type material here.
SPEAKER_00I've learned a lot of great words of great terminology for those metal bars that keep you in line. I had known turnstiles, I just hadn't really used it very often. Yeah. Stanchions.
SPEAKER_03That's a definite that's actually the velvet rope, right?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, but I think you could probably have well, I guess I don't know.
SPEAKER_03We do have a little bit of red on here.
SPEAKER_00Oh, there you go.
SPEAKER_03See, it's a stanchion.
SPEAKER_00That was a strategy.
SPEAKER_03Um and so basically what we're doing is waiting in line for a concert, and I'll finish and then you can talk. Okay. And we're waiting in line for a concert every time you tune in. You never know who we're gonna be going to see. This this night, we're gonna be going to see Outcast.
SPEAKER_04Outcast.
SPEAKER_03But the super secret twist is that it's not gonna be Andre 3000 and Big Boy. Look at you. It's gonna be Rob Leslie boys. That's us guys. The boycrafts. Um, and while and while we're waiting for the concert, you're gonna you just never know what kind of things you might talk about with your waiting in line partner or the stranger next to you. So that's the premise. And now you know what a podcast is for here and also what is the word pod stand for.
SPEAKER_00iPod. It's an iPod iPod broadcast.
SPEAKER_03Apple. They just are everywhere.
SPEAKER_00Aren't they special? Freaking hate Apple.
SPEAKER_03I know you do.
SPEAKER_00They make a good product and they know how to uh they got a tight business model. They just irritate me. They're a little proprietary. So do so does my family.
SPEAKER_03Um what?
SPEAKER_00And friends.
SPEAKER_03I don't go around tootin' Apple's horn. I just use their products.
SPEAKER_00Sometimes I just get a little just a little bit of a guilt trip. Not too much from our from market.
SPEAKER_03Oh, well, yeah, because your your messaging ruins our messages.
SPEAKER_00Right.
SPEAKER_03Well, I can suppose like someone was outside playing with the snow.
SPEAKER_00There are dozens of us.
SPEAKER_02Dozens.
SPEAKER_00From Rust of Development,
Third-Child Dog Years Parenting Debate
SPEAKER_00one of the ultimate bedtime sitcoms. One of them. I was reading up on uh while going over. Oh, what?
SPEAKER_03Well, you know what, my friend Holly.
SPEAKER_00Oh she was we were laughing at Do you know what comma my friend Holly because I'm your friend Rob, I'm your husband.
SPEAKER_03You know what, my friend Holly?
SPEAKER_00Remember, remember me.
SPEAKER_03Wait, am I still warm? Uh anyway, Holly was saying that she wanted to find a new bedtime sit comment. And she was like, I really wish it could be arrested development, but people at that I keep asking people and they keep telling me that it's not good for a seven-year-old for her family to watch. And I guess I have to agree, but it's the third child, so does he count, Holly?
SPEAKER_00He doesn't count. I'd say there's probably she should know.
SPEAKER_03She's the youngest of three. There's probably oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Then she's she got away with a lot, right?
SPEAKER_03Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_00So I would say this is interesting. Hear that, Holly. Here's an interesting conversation, Holly. Uh, or to anybody out there. I agree.
SPEAKER_03Ah.
SPEAKER_00There should be like a you know how the like we have a dog here. Yes. Name's Gruber. Somebody brought him in line.
SPEAKER_03Oh, he smells like a skunk. Smells like he brought a skunk in line with him.
SPEAKER_00Grober, did you bring a skunk in line with you, sir? Oh, no one can. He's trying to talk, though.
SPEAKER_03Be quiet. Be quiet. What is it, buddy?
SPEAKER_00He's so concerned. All right, so. Oh, so dog years. Uh-huh. You know, you multiply by seven, except the first year is 11 years.
SPEAKER_03Okay, so like your third child.
SPEAKER_00But is there other third child years? When it comes to what kind of content to show them, how much effort to put into them to maintain their well-being.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I feel like there's a there's a bit of inflation. I'm sure it's on a curve, I'm sure it's on like a chance.
SPEAKER_03I feel like it's it's diminishing returns of parenting by the time you get to the third parent. I mean the third child.
SPEAKER_00Or the third parent. Three different sets of parents raising. All right. So I'm gonna say, what would you say? Um I would say that but by the time my sister Julia, who's there's a nine-year difference, and I pay I paved away pretty good. My brother and my brother came through and just basic everything else. And then Julia just got her own boat.
SPEAKER_03Basically.
SPEAKER_00Like if I got, you know, something brought something home like Sound Garden or Stone Temple Pilots or Having Forbid Dave Matthews band. Um, which I don't really know what I was doing with a Dave Matthews band.
SPEAKER_03I don't like I don't like Dave Matthews.
SPEAKER_00I don't love Dave Matthews.
SPEAKER_03I don't hate him, I just he's not for me.
SPEAKER_00This there's a there's a there are a lot of songs that I do like or parts of songs that I like. Respect him as a musician, songwriter, etc. Don't like his voice. It's pretty much what it comes down to. Okay, so um I would say that she she so she could I she my mom was like listening to like 50 cent candy.
SPEAKER_03What's the uh take me to the candy shop shop.
SPEAKER_00It's like they were singing and I was like, this there's no way you would be singing along with me in this like this song is about some stuff, anyways. I would say you four years. Holly? Yeah, four years. Whatever, whatever your age is after Okay, so he's eleven.
SPEAKER_03What's your potty? He's essentially eleven, Holly. We think that you can watch rest of development this summer with your family.
SPEAKER_00You think about even like um like Tommy watching diehard with us?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, of course.
SPEAKER_00Austin and Clark were like ten and eight, so Tommy was like four or five.
SPEAKER_03Three, he's five years younger than that. Uh Austin.
SPEAKER_00Okay, anywho, that's an interesting conversation. We'd love to. Hey, why don't you go ahead and write in um the comments?
SPEAKER_03What age, what yeah, how you think it works? Dog years for the third child. Way in on that.
SPEAKER_00For the third child dog years. Or yeah, let's let's leave it at that. Okay. Okay. Um we can talk a little 24.
Watching 24 And TV Logic
SPEAKER_00You wanna oh, how did you say while you're holding a laptop up in my face with the two? We've been watching 24.
SPEAKER_03We have. We did not I never watched it ever. Did you watch any of them? Okay, so this is all new for you as well.
SPEAKER_00It's all new for me. My parents I remember they were talking about how they were binge washing. Yeah. We're we're in it about a quarter century uh after it aired. I think they were both.
SPEAKER_03Gee, when you put it like that, it makes it sound really old.
SPEAKER_00I know. I feel like I should be wearing a type top hat and mascot.
SPEAKER_03And uh high-waisted pants, turtleneck pants.
SPEAKER_00Anytime you say the word century, you have to dress like uh like you're from another one, a different one.
SPEAKER_03Perfect. From the past.
SPEAKER_00Very elegant, elegantly phrased.
SPEAKER_03Anyway, it's great.
SPEAKER_00It is great.
SPEAKER_03In case you're not familiar with 24, it came out in 2001.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03And every episode takes place in one hour over a 24-hour period, and so thus there are 24 episodes per season, I guess.
SPEAKER_00I think.
SPEAKER_03We don't know yet, because what are we on? Like 10?
SPEAKER_00Like halfway through the first season. Are we on 12? Something like that.
SPEAKER_03I don't think we have made it to noon yet. It started at midnight.
SPEAKER_00I think you're right.
SPEAKER_03So one thing I'm looking forward to finding out.
SPEAKER_00We watched three in a row. That was like the I I want to know what you're looking forward to finding out, but I think that was the first time we watched it three episodes of something in a row, and it just went right. What would have been the last time?
SPEAKER_03Like I can't I can't remember.
SPEAKER_00I think we might have watched two of the I think we watched the Bus you last episode of Andor into Rogue One. That was kind of a bit of a yeah.
SPEAKER_03And we also, but I was gonna say, I feel like we watched a couple Sandmans back to back the last season that came out.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03I definitely watched a couple of Bridgertons back to back, but not three.
SPEAKER_00So tell me what you want to find out.
SPEAKER_03I'm excited to find out like in subsequent seasons if they all start at midnight. Or if they start at any time per day and then just go to the next day at the same time. Don't tell me. Do not write in. Do not comment.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I I do I I got a lot of questions. That's that's definitely up there for me too.
SPEAKER_03Do you have any loves or hates about the show?
SPEAKER_00I mean, there's a lot of the there's a lot of stuff that's just little gotchas and loopholes and it's like.
SPEAKER_03Well, you don't like how many times he racks a gun before he shoots it.
SPEAKER_00No, that's that's that's just generally a TV slash movie thing. I I hate what I'm talking about, guys. Is when uh whoops, is when any variation is gonna be a good thing. We're gonna talk about guns, so trigger warning.
SPEAKER_03Oh look at your gun. Go pun.
SPEAKER_00Um you take gun.
SPEAKER_03Gun pun. Gun.
SPEAKER_00Somebody's got a gun up to somebody's whatever, pointing it at them.
SPEAKER_03In this case, it's kefer Sutherland.
SPEAKER_00Kiefir. I always want to call him something else, but I'm not going to expand it. Jack Bauer. Jack Bauer. Is it okay if I burn up my adult family earmuffs up front?
SPEAKER_03I don't want them in the show. Okay. So you can burn them after we're done recording. Okay. Okay.
SPEAKER_00Sometimes I like to say his name with a cue. I understand.
SPEAKER_03I knew exactly what you were gonna say. I was just ignoring it.
SPEAKER_00Okay. If I had a if only I was in his own.
SPEAKER_03Uh you basically are getting there.
SPEAKER_00I'm getting there, I gotta I gotta shave. But they got a gun, you know, they're pointing a gun threateningly anytime you point a gun at somebody's threatening. Right. Keep that in mind. Safety first. Finger off the trigger, right? But what they do is now when they're serious, like really serious.
SPEAKER_03They like rack the pull back.
SPEAKER_00You thought I was pointing a gun at you, you thought that was serious? Wait till I make it useful.
SPEAKER_03Wait till I put a bullet in their chamber.
SPEAKER_00They either rack the slide or pull the hammer back. Or it's just but racking the slide is the worst. Or shotgun.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. It's just like But you can't do that again until you've shot one out, right? But they just keep showing it.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, there's one scene I swear he racked it three times before he actually did it.
SPEAKER_03It's when he was in that what is that thing where they're like in like it's a spillway? It's like a concrete river.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it's what the in Terminator 2 where they're chasing, he's ch chasing him in the truck. Yeah. Is that thing called a spillway? Yeah, it's like the LA River kind of thing.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I don't really know. I'm not familiar with what the purpose of that is.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I'd say that's what it is. And I also think it's cool movie scenes for killing people and running from robots. Yeah. Yeah. And also LA's pretty progressive.
SPEAKER_03I I just want to say, like, you're trying he's he's taking this guy for somewhere for like privacy. But like the only thing that stands out in this concrete river is your limousine. I don't feel like he's very hidden. He's not very well hidden, I guess, is what I'm trying to say.
SPEAKER_00There are these kind of incogruous things that are they just don't quite work.
SPEAKER_03Like go to an overpass.
SPEAKER_00But I'm totally fine. I'm I'm going to it's I gotta say, as as m as goofy as some of the hacking scenes are, they could be so much worse. So much worse. I showed you that like that cloud, you know, that was NCIS, the two people on the cue.
SPEAKER_03I mean that that looked like it was a parody.
SPEAKER_00This isn't that bad. Like the way that what's it?
SPEAKER_03But it wasn't.
SPEAKER_00No, it wasn't. Yeah. It's it's it's un it's unfortunate. I'm glad they made it. But uh yeah. Any anywho, I love it. I love the I like a good cliffhanger setup. A show that's just made you made I feel like we've watched a lot of shows. Great shows lately, but the episodes are almost I don't want to say too good, but almost too standalone. Yeah, like TV. Like you don't feel like you have to watch the next one. Where 24 you're just like, oh my gosh. You know, they really that's that formula, they they they can make a good drug. So anything else you want to say about that fine show?
SPEAKER_03I'm enjoying it.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, okay. Me too. I hear the uh I hear it gets r I hear I hear it stays strong until like six season six or seven. One of them is look at us.
SPEAKER_03We're like cool kids. We say six, seven.
SPEAKER_00Moving on, twenty-four. So we've been watching that. We've been watching uh what we do in the show.
The Jeffries Data Sheet Explained
SPEAKER_00If you don't know about our bedtime sitcoms, there's an app. Before we talk about what we do in the shadows, can I just talk about my sweet, sweet Jeffreys data sheet?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, so this is a great plug for the Jeffries data sheet.
SPEAKER_00Okay. I'm already rebuilding version two.
SPEAKER_03Wow, rebuilding it.
SPEAKER_00Well, building it right now, so it's a it's a Google Sheet. Can you explain Jeffrey's data sheet?
SPEAKER_03I can try. Is that kind of like a you kind of want to see what I think?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it is.
SPEAKER_03Okay, so it's a spreadsheet tool where it basically catalogs everything we've ever talked about in different categories. So, like my personal current favorite category is people we've mentioned on the show, and that's anyone from people in our personal lives to celebrities to theoretical people to ideas about people. Um, did you put the lyrics one on back in there?
SPEAKER_00No, what what Leslie's talking about is I I I've I've been experimenting with different things we could put in here, a lot of inside jokes and goofy stuff like that. Um, but the evolution of the theme song that I always it has changed a lot.
SPEAKER_03Anyway, also things you can look up that might be actually more meaningful to you would be like books we've talked about, movies we've talked about, music, um, artists, TV shows, uh I don't know, all kinds of stuff like that. So you can look at it and and it'll you could search. Can you does it have a search function?
SPEAKER_00It doesn't. That's that's what I'm building. Basically, right now it's just a glorified Google sheet.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And you have tabs at the bottom. I don't even know if it's really that glorified. It's you're right, it's not, it's just a Google sheet. But uh yeah, you could go through. I mean, there's thousands and thousands of entries. I separated them in discussions, references, and name checks. So discussion would be like our conversation about Jeffree's data sheet would be a discussion. Gotcha. Kind of a self-contained thing.
SPEAKER_03There probably aren't very many discussions on there. I feel like we don't discuss no discussion.
SPEAKER_00Usually it winds up being anytime we talk about something for at least 45 seconds and it's complete thought. Although it it I've so I built the whole I built the whole thing with an AI code.
SPEAKER_03Complete thoughts.
SPEAKER_00Oh, no, I don't. No, I never have actually.
SPEAKER_03Actually, Renee was laughing. My friend Renee, she'll be featured in the Renee in the Jeffries data sheet. She was laughing because she when she was listening to we did one recently where we were giving out movie superlatives, and she was like, Well, if Rob can't stop talking, then why would you you should just do less movies? But then she's like, and I realize it wouldn't really matter how many movies you were doing because Rob just really, really has a lot to say.
SPEAKER_00Yes.
SPEAKER_03And I was like, that's accurate.
SPEAKER_00Uh Leslie, so we look up Renee here on the on the Our People tab. Uh Renee, Leslie mentions her friend Renee, who told her about the Instagram account, preachers and sneakers.
SPEAKER_01Oh, yeah, I forgot about that.
SPEAKER_00Leslie credits her friend Renee and Julie for sharing her love for Michael Jackson's music in high school.
SPEAKER_03Aww.
SPEAKER_00Leslie described, and there's a link to each one of these.
SPEAKER_03Yes, you could find a timestamp in the episode.
SPEAKER_00And it'll take you exactly right to that part of the video. It has all of our covers on it, all of our episodes.
SPEAKER_03We do do that as well.
SPEAKER_00Um check it out. I'll put a link in the description. I'm going to make this. I know no one cares except for me. Maybe, except for maybe Jeffrey. This is named after Jeffrey's.
SPEAKER_03It's his namesake.
SPEAKER_00Except we change it to Jeffrey's, like it's the last name, Jeffrey's. Because it sounds like it's really official. Yeah. And of course, third reason it's for Jeffrey's Everywhere.
SPEAKER_03That's right. It is for Jeffrey's Everywhere. Unless you're a bad Jeffree. And then you can find another data sheet. This one's not for you.
SPEAKER_00Well, so what I want to do is turn it into a proper, we'll just call it an app, and then make it so that anybody with crazy abstract long form content like ours who wants to get people to have their own Jeffries data sheet. Because if we just send it to somebody right now, yeah, exactly. They could it's gonna be a Jeffries data sheet in like GitHub. So you can go on, feed your stuff, feed your your uh uh SRT files, your uh what do you call them? I don't know. Subtitles, like your transcript. Oh, captions, your transcript. Feed your transcript, it'll build a transcript for you if you don't have one, feed the transcript to this thing. It figures out how to categorize your show, and then it will uh break it down into essentially like data sheets, databases, and that's what I'd ultimately for it to be, and then uh have like a front end that you can search for and it's really snappy, and the video just pops up. You don't have it's not a freaking spreadsheet, you know. But I had to get something out.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, well, it's out. Nothing.
SPEAKER_00So it's out, okay. Check it out. Cool. For your health.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, for your health. And what were we talking about before you said, oh wait, let's talk about the Jeffries data sheet.
SPEAKER_00We were talking about what we do in the shadows.
SPEAKER_03What
What We Do In The Shadows Music
SPEAKER_03we do in the shadows, the show. We what we did watch the movie, which is what this is based upon, correct?
SPEAKER_00Yes.
SPEAKER_03Now, is the movie made by the same? I know it's made by um Jermaine Flight of the Concords guy.
SPEAKER_00Clement? Yeah. Yes.
SPEAKER_03But was the movie also made by Jermaine?
SPEAKER_00That's a good question. I don't know. Keep talking about the show.
SPEAKER_03Okay, well, anyway, it's a documentary about I guess it's a mockumentary.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it's like this is Spinal Tap or Yes.
SPEAKER_03So they um it's about three, well, really four vampires, and it just basically follows them around in their daily lives.
SPEAKER_00You might know Christopher Guest from his work on um Almost Heroes.
SPEAKER_03Oh, I I know Christopher Guest from his work on other things.
SPEAKER_00That's probably his worst thing. Anyways, continue.
SPEAKER_03I don't know if I have I ever seen Almost Heroes. It's uh Is that the one with Arnold Schwarzenegger and the toys?
SPEAKER_00No, that's okay. Well, you could okay, that's that was trolling.
SPEAKER_03I'm just trolling you.
SPEAKER_00How dare you be? That's small soldiers and is that chingle all the way. Have we had this conversation?
SPEAKER_03I'm trolling you.
SPEAKER_00All right.
SPEAKER_03I bet that's gonna show up on the Dave Jeffrey's data sheet now.
SPEAKER_00Yes, twice.
SPEAKER_03Twice. Uh okay. But anyway, and it's of course ridiculous and hilarious. It's got um, what's that guy's name?
SPEAKER_00Matt Berry.
SPEAKER_03Matt Berry. What's his name? Robert was he Robert California? He was not Robert California. No, that was they remind me of each other. I can't but Matt Berry was on um the IT crowd, right?

SPEAKER_00Me too.
SPEAKER_03Um, and it has actually he's the only person I know. But it's made by the guy, one of the Flight of the Concords people. So if you're a Flight of the Concords fan, you probably would like this show.

SPEAKER_03It's a great song.
SPEAKER_00It's a great song.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00It's a song, just like the show, it has grown on me, where I was just like, I'm not sure if I like this. Well, but it's interesting. The music. And then I'm like, oh.
SPEAKER_03I had to every night I'm like, does this work? Every night. Every time I hear it, I'm like, is this working?

SPEAKER_00I know I've heard it too. I've I think I remember liking it.
SPEAKER_03There's like a whole genre of music called like dark country. And some of it's really poppy, but some of it's like that.
SPEAKER_00Gotcha. Well what when would you guess that song was uh was written and performed?
SPEAKER_03That that it's not, it wasn't written for the show.
SPEAKER_00No. Doesn't it sound like it was?
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Like even the lyrics and everything.
SPEAKER_03I I have no idea.
SPEAKER_00Just guess.
SPEAKER_031965.
SPEAKER_00Oh, that's an excellent guess. 66.
SPEAKER_03What?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I would have thought it was like a kind of like a it sounds like an old song. What's it about? But I thought it was a new song.
SPEAKER_03Did you listen to the whole thing?
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Uh it's about her. So she's a kind of an accomplished songwriter. She had a hit too. Um I listened to it. I can't remember the name of it. Uh my dog. It sounded like I'd heard it before, but I don't think I had. Uh I liked it a lot.
SPEAKER_03Will you say her name one more time?
SPEAKER_00Norma. Norma Tanega. Tanega.
SPEAKER_04Okay.
SPEAKER_00T-A-N-E-G-A. Um She wrote like she wrote for Dusty Springfield and like she was she had a bit of a bit of umph. But what the song is about is her experience in New York, which is kind of funny because that's what the show's about with the vampires. Yeah, they live in Staten Island. But her experience in New York trying to make it as a songwriter, and basically people saying, like, you're dead. You're dead. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Stay dead.
SPEAKER_00Yes. And yeah, 1966. It sounds it sounds ahead of its time to me. It sounds scary. It reminds me of do you you know the song? Uh I think we've talked about doing it before, Coffee Cold by Galtman Dermot. You played it for me. So Uncle Dan, who's all over the Jeffries dishes. Oh, yeah. Uncle Dan uh turned me on to Handsome Boy Modeling School. And there's a song they have called, I think it's called Truth, and it uses that. And that song's like from the 60s, too. But it's got this. Some songs are just it's great. Yeah, they're just great and and you and they come from nowhere and they they're kind of buried. Like these dudes. I'm not saying that Golden Dermer wasn't successful in his own right, but he certainly wasn't all over hip hop albums. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_03Exactly. I know exactly what you're doing.
SPEAKER_00You know what I mean, baby? Yeah. We're gonna talk about a little hip-hop today. Oh my gosh. A little Southern Playlist catalog funky music. Anything else you want to say about?
SPEAKER_03Nope.
SPEAKER_00What do you want to talk about? You want to
Choosing The Wanderers
SPEAKER_00talk about a little uh wanderers?
SPEAKER_03A little wanderers. So tell everyone, tell everyone. Hey mom, look at me. That's how I feel every time I pretend that there's people here that we're talking to. Watch this. Uh tell everyone. Tell everyone about how you sent me movie options, and then that was the one I selected.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, so I sent you. I said, hey, let's uh this this time let's watch something and talk about it. Because we have different different formats.
SPEAKER_03We try to keep you guys guessing. Guessing.
SPEAKER_00If you'd like to hear what we've discussed, check out the Jeffree Stage. Thousands and thousands and thousands of things.
SPEAKER_03How can they access the Jeffrey Stage? Are you gonna link it in the description?
SPEAKER_00I'm gonna put it in the description. I'll put it on the YouTube on YouTube. Yeah, I'll put it on YouTube. I'll put it in the uh remind me to put it in the about like the YouTube about. Yeah, and then I'm going to make a website.
SPEAKER_03Oh, I could stick it in the Instagram. I've not done anything with Instagram. I'm sorry, I'm a terrible. That's all good.
SPEAKER_00We've uh we've had stuff going on. We still do. So um what was your question?
SPEAKER_03Uh what movies did you suggest?
SPEAKER_00I'm Swiss Family Robinson from 1960.
SPEAKER_03Which I've read the junior novelization. We'll do that someday. But I don't think I've ever seen the movie.
SPEAKER_00I love that movie.
SPEAKER_03Um sorry, just pause on that. Is that the same movie that of the Swiss Family Robinson treehouse that you can go to at Disney World? Yes, it is. Okay.
SPEAKER_00Which is now what, Tarzan?
SPEAKER_03No.
SPEAKER_00Oh. It's still a Swiss Family Robinson tree. Tarzan somewhere. Maybe it didn't have a working. Maybe that's what it is.
SPEAKER_03I've never been there. Who cares?
SPEAKER_00Uh Better Off Dead.
SPEAKER_03Better Off Dead, which we've already watched.
SPEAKER_00We've yeah, we have watched that before.
SPEAKER_03And that has um John Sack. I know things.
SPEAKER_00Curtis Armstrong's in it.
SPEAKER_03It's a skiing movie.
SPEAKER_00There's a oh who there's quite a few other people in it. Oh gosh, what's his name? He's got the saddest eyes. I love that movie. We're gonna watch it for sure.
SPEAKER_03Ew at the Sad Clown Eyes.
SPEAKER_00I can't remember his name. Anyways, what was the fourth movie I gave you as an option?
SPEAKER_03I don't remember. That's what I was thinking.
SPEAKER_00Is it a weird one? Those are all kind of.
SPEAKER_03I I hope I was hoping you would remember.
SPEAKER_00I don't remember. But Leslie said The Wanderers. And I was surprised because I thought that would be the last one you'd want to watch.
SPEAKER_03It said it caught me because in the description, I swear to you, it said something about being a thriller.
SPEAKER_00Well, that's the thing about this movie. It is multiple genres.
SPEAKER_03It's checking a lot of boxes.
SPEAKER_00It is.
SPEAKER_03Even when it shouldn't be.
SPEAKER_00I don't know what that's supposed to be.
SPEAKER_03Pick Elaine, the wanderers.
SPEAKER_00So it's a little racist and misogynist and homophobic.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00What isn't?
SPEAKER_03I mean, I I wrote I had a my overall
Why The Movie Feels Bad
SPEAKER_03takeaway from the movie. Do you want me to say it now or later?
SPEAKER_00Let's talk about the genres.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_00You know, why don't you give me a takeaway? Actually, I'm I'm more interested in that.
SPEAKER_03The overall feeling that I got when I was watching the movie was just like, this makes me feel bad. I have sad, bad feelings watching this.
SPEAKER_00Care to elaborate?
SPEAKER_03It was good though.
SPEAKER_00You you thought it was good?
SPEAKER_03So I when we first turned it on, and there was just like that whole classroom scene with all the racists back and forth, I was just like, this makes me feel sick. I really don't like it.
SPEAKER_00That was insane.
SPEAKER_03But it was just this side of too much.
SPEAKER_00And then it was too silly to take seriously.
SPEAKER_03Yes. Which is basically like the theme of this entire movie.
SPEAKER_00Yes.
SPEAKER_03And like you had said before we we watched it, you're like, it doesn't know what it wants to be. No. And I think that's really true. But um what was I saying? Why did I feel that way?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it made you feel bad. You're watching the race war in the classroom.
SPEAKER_03I just was like, all these no one's talking about no one's taking care of these kids. Like everyone has terrible parents. Even the rich kids' parents are just out doing their own things, and these kids are getting into trouble. Yes, bullying mafiovos.
SPEAKER_00Bully mafiosas and white shirts.
SPEAKER_03Um lots to unpack. Lots to unpack. We'll get into all of it. But it's just like overall, I just felt like sad for the kids because they're just having this like we're pretending to be adults and just getting into trouble. And then like the Ducky Boys that was like some like foray into zombie movie for a second. Yes. No real explanation. No resolution.
SPEAKER_00I know. Well, it's a 70s movie.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I didn't really 70s movies.
SPEAKER_00I'm telling you, I'm not an aficionado, but I have seen a lot of them. Didn't I tell you, didn't we say this real?
SPEAKER_03You said it. You're like, well, it's the 70s movie. And I was like, what does that mean? You're like, they don't end.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, they just kind of finish.
SPEAKER_03They just like pan out. They do. They literally pan out.
SPEAKER_00Every single one of them. Okay, what I just watched uh Cooley High. I don't remember when that was made, but it's the same kind of coming of age movie that's just like it doesn't really go anywhere. I mean it does, but it doesn't, you know? Yeah. It's just like this huge set piece carousel. And it's just adventure after that movie also doesn't quite know what it wants to be.
SPEAKER_03Like I think I remember you saying that.
SPEAKER_00Every 70s movie has somebody who dies. I mean, I guess you say the same about Disney movies.
SPEAKER_03The other thing I was wondering about the timeline, which we'll go, I'll give you my my famous plot synopsis here in a second. But the timeline of this movie, I couldn't did it, was were things taking place over because they were like, we're gonna meet them on Saturday, but then like half the movie happened.
SPEAKER_00You mean like not 1963, like no, no, no.
SPEAKER_03I mean like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, like how much time was passing between each scene? It they did not explain any of it to you. Then all of a sudden they're playing their football game, which I actually thought all along I thought was gonna be just a rumble, like a fight. I didn't really know they were.
SPEAKER_00They sort of settled that in the bowling alley because the the dads of the two when they made I mean, there's a lot of racially insensitive things being said in this uh movie. But you know, it was it was kind of a they're not all bad comment, and then he goes up and shakes hands with them and shows that they're all like I mean, honest to God, the white people were the worst people in the uh yeah. I mean white people almost always are. I think I could say that.
SPEAKER_03Like they were like the trashiest, the evilest, they were the baddest.
SPEAKER_00Well, the Ducky boys are all white, too.
SPEAKER_03We're all white.
SPEAKER_00Goodness gracious. So anyway, what I'm what I was saying was they they worked it out. Like when they're saying you know you're having some some problems with uh we'll just say the Dell the Dell Bombers. Yeah. We'll go by their gang name and not their skin color. Well, you know, they're not some some they're not all bad type comment. And then he goes up and shakes, they all shake hands, they all know the dads, and I think that's when they organize the football game. But they don't say it's they don't really say I get a feeling that a ton of this movie got cut left on the cutting room floor. In fact, there's a si there's six supposed to be six more minutes of of just solid football field fighting that they with the ducky boys with the ducky boys that they cut out. All right, well, should I should I start scene the plot synopsis?
Plot Walkthrough And Genre Whiplash
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Well, what look real quick though, what would you say the genres are? You said horror.
SPEAKER_03I didn't say that's what caught my eye. Oh, maybe I was thinking horror. It wasn't. No, but that it I mean I would say if you if I had to pick one, I would just say drama.
SPEAKER_00There's yeah. I'd say like coming of age.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, for sure.
SPEAKER_00Um but also comedy.
SPEAKER_03I mean, it is It was funny, but was it trying to be funny?
SPEAKER_00I don't know.
SPEAKER_03It was a zombie movie, but was it trying to be a zombie movie? It's kind of everything.
SPEAKER_00So like this was made with made from um let me let me look it up. I got who who made it. Okay. It was a book.
SPEAKER_03Oh wow. Oh yeah, I did see that at the beginning.
SPEAKER_00It was a book uh by Uncle? Uncle Baby. Baby. I don't know. It's a book by I thought I wrote it down. Anyways, Philip Kaufman did it. Um Richard Price. Thank you.
SPEAKER_03I said Richard.
SPEAKER_00Did you really? Yes.
SPEAKER_03I did not even know.
SPEAKER_00Richard. What are you watching? Adult Family Airmuffs.
SPEAKER_03Is that from Black Sheep?
SPEAKER_00Getting warmer. Scorching.
SPEAKER_03That other one with Chris Furley and David.
SPEAKER_00Are you the only person in the world?
SPEAKER_03Fat Man in a little coat.
SPEAKER_00This is Black Sheep before Tommy Boy.
SPEAKER_03Tommy Boy is what I meant. I just couldn't think of it.
SPEAKER_00So it was yeah, a novel by Richard Price in 19 uh 74. I looked up some other books. I I'd recognize other books that he wrote. I wish I could pull them off the top of my head, but he's you would you would recognize him too.
SPEAKER_03Oh, another reason I didn't really like it that much is there was no protagonist. I can't, it's hard for me to watch a movie where everybody's just gray.
SPEAKER_00What about Game of Thrones?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I mean, Jon Snow was pretty protagony. He had his moments, but he was pretty protagony.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, he's pretty protagony. Yeah. I guess you're right.
SPEAKER_03I mean he was about the only one with any sort of and Sam. Right? Was his name Sam? Samuel Tarley.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Is that his name? I was trying to think of Sam from Frodo. Yeah. What was his name? Sam from Frodo. It's been a couple weeks, guys. So, but this was a book, and it was written on this guy's uh Richard Price's kind of upbringing in the in this area.
SPEAKER_03What color of skin was Richard Price?
SPEAKER_00I think he was an Italian gentleman.
SPEAKER_03Oh.
SPEAKER_00The Wanderers Olive.
unknownYeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00So he he wrote this book about real gangs like ended in his neighborhood. So like the Baldies, they were real. The Ducky Boys were real. You know Ace Fraley? From Kiss?
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_00He was a Ducky boy.
SPEAKER_03In real life. Yeah. Whoa. What?
SPEAKER_00Yeah. He's one of the guys who chased turkey up the uh line.
SPEAKER_03Did music save him from his gang life?
SPEAKER_00I think it did. Music guys. I think Ace Fraley is said that he's quitting. He's not gonna uh practice guitar anymore because he knows everything he he ever wants to know.
SPEAKER_03No, he did not say that. I think that was he ever wants to know?
SPEAKER_00Something like that.
SPEAKER_03That's different.
SPEAKER_00It was a little different. I don't, whatever it was, it was like certainly felt better. It was like just a dash of arrogance and just a dash of relatable burnout.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Um, but so he was a ducky boy. I guess it's that ducky boy attitude.
SPEAKER_03And then the wanderers was the other gang.
SPEAKER_00The wanderers, though, was not a real gang. It was like a culmination of three gangs in the area, all Italian um derogatory terms that I don't I don't know what I can say or what I won't say.
SPEAKER_04You can't say any of them.
SPEAKER_00So and then the Dell Bombers, I think, were a real gang.
SPEAKER_04Okay.
SPEAKER_00But there were some anachronisms, like the Baldies weren't a gang during this time.
SPEAKER_03Um and what's an anachronism?
SPEAKER_00Like something that doesn't actually belong in that timeline.
SPEAKER_03Like Is that why it's anachronism? Like just look up.
SPEAKER_00Look up all the issues with like Braveheart. Like, well, they didn't invent that till you know 14. So it's um there was something else I was gonna say about it. I don't remember. It'll probably come up later if it's important.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_00Oh, I know.
SPEAKER_03What?
SPEAKER_00Let's tell the plot.
SPEAKER_03Oh, yeah. Alright, so this movie is talking about it talks about it's a it's focuses on a few members, a few core members of a group called the Wanderers, and they're like these boys are all in high school. I have to assume they're seniors, juniors and seniors. They seem like older upper classmen.
SPEAKER_00Old enough to smoke and drink in class.
SPEAKER_03And do all yeah. And also, were there no girls in their high school? Well, because there was no girls in that racist classroom.
SPEAKER_00No, there definitely were not. So I don't know. They would not do I don't think they would do well in that class. No. I don't think that would be very fair to put a girl in that class.
SPEAKER_03Uh-uh. Or maybe in that high school. Anyway.
SPEAKER_02Were there girls in the high school?
SPEAKER_00When they're walking down the hallway and they're showing all the gangs, which is, by the way, I wrote down it's it's this is the high school the Napoleon Dynamite was talking about.
SPEAKER_03It was not a buttload of gangs to join. Right? Yes. Um this is it. So anyway, and it follows them. Uh and it looks like they're maybe maybe getting close to graduation because Turkey wants to join a different gang because he can't be in a wanderer's gang forever. Yeah, so he wants to become a Baldi shaves his head. Um so then you meet the Baldies and and opens with a pretty adult scene.
SPEAKER_00Does it open like right off the bat?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, because I was like, do you want to invite Clark to watch this with us? And you hesitated before you said no. And I can't believe that. That was a hard no. That was a hard no.
SPEAKER_00Okay. This movie I've I thought this was the coolest movie I've ever ever seen in my life. Yeah, I'm sure Clark would love it. I saw this movie when I was when I was about Clark's age, probably. And I it had it has everything that a that a high school boy every scene is an entertaining See, that's the thing.
SPEAKER_03It's everything that you think you want, and it never is good for you. No. Never good for you. But it's entertaining to watch for two hours, I guess. So anyway, um, then they get for some reason, uh unbeknownst to me, the teacher has the the white kids talking to the black kids and calling each other the most racist things they can think of.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, like totally egg and mod.
SPEAKER_03And like he started the discussion. I really don't know what his purpose was.
SPEAKER_00I don't either.
SPEAKER_03But we'll come back to that. I'm still telling the plot.
SPEAKER_00Oh, please.
SPEAKER_03And um, and they end up that ends up with them having to like meet, you know, meet on the weekend to have a big fight to like work it out. And then flashback to the girlfriend from the adult scene at the beginning.
SPEAKER_00Can I ask a quick question?
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Are we gonna go back and talk about all these scenes? Because there's a lot going on in all these scenes.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, that's true. Well, let's just let's just slow our roll and we'll just talk about it.
SPEAKER_00You might slow our roll a little bit? Okay.
Soundtrack Love And Opening Shock
SPEAKER_00So can we talk about that uh sex scene?
SPEAKER_03So here was my very first note. Quite the opening scene.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. So you go from that to Well, but I have one more thing to say about that scene.
SPEAKER_03I'd like to know. I wrote in quotes, I promise I will never die. Oh yeah. Totally. We've seen Team America. It's basically that scene. It was a little more. Instead of without without puppets, it was two real people.
SPEAKER_00It was a little more orthodox, I suppose.
SPEAKER_03I guess so.
SPEAKER_00A little, a little ritty. Um and it goes from that to what? Walk. Well, to walk like a man.
SPEAKER_03Best song. I love that song.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, there's a lot of four seasons on this.
SPEAKER_03The whole well, I also one of my other like overall was the soundtrack is bomb. Yeah, it's and it's used well. It's used well with the scenes, I feel in some scenes.
SPEAKER_00It's played like a jukebox. Like in the strip poker scene. Like it's on they play four songs in a row. That scene was long.
SPEAKER_03That was a yeah, that was another one.
SPEAKER_00But um, yeah, I I have the soundtrack. I mean, they they had Mr. Moto was on there. That's like a uh surf, surf, surf music instrumental um with by the Bel Airs. I love that tune. Um, yeah, Walk Like a Man, uh Big Girls Don't Cry, My Boyfriend's Back, Sherry, the Wanderer, of course, Run Around Sue, Times Their Are Changing, Soldier Boy, Baby It's You, Isley Brothers Shout, I Love You, Pipeline, Stand By Me.
SPEAKER_03Why you wrote all did you write all this down or did you look it up?
SPEAKER_00I just looked it up. Wipe out, do you love me? You really got a hold on me. And then um Several, several, they had a lot more as well. And then there was like a I think an original score, too. And I just I I did. I love the way they use the music. I love the way Walk Like a Man was playing while Terror was eating an entire slice of pizza in one bite and shoving it.
SPEAKER_03I said, I said put that big guy eating pizza on Glutton Forum. Rob has a channel called Glutton Forum from a really long time ago. So if you ever want to see some young Rob Shoecraft eating some disgusting stuff, you should go there. I wrote real skinheads exclamation.
SPEAKER_00The Fordham Baldies.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. And so wow, then then what's his name? Terror? Terror. Terror's the main Baldy. Yes. Well, he's the biggest of them. He has a girlfriend that looks like a little androgynous street urchin. Um, but actually at the end she's very cute. Yeah. She's like not wearing her hair slicked back like a boy.
SPEAKER_00She's one of the only uh she's one of the only actors in this movie that really had much of a career other than like Karen Allen or was Karen Allen Nina? Yes, yeah, she was Nina. Yeah, she was um you know in Indiana Jones and uh you ever see Starman?
SPEAKER_03I don't know.
SPEAKER_00With Jeff Burgess?
SPEAKER_03I don't know. I think we've talked about that, and I don't know if I've seen it.
SPEAKER_00It's pretty good.
SPEAKER_03Well, anyway, so one of the wanderers uh uh terror. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I won't talk about terror a little bit more. Okay. Terror is feeding that pizza to his fellow gang member. And then feeding, he's got this weird relationship over all the time.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. So he it's a very weird.
SPEAKER_00The guy who played terror.
SPEAKER_03It's a very off-putting movie, but also somehow very good and entertaining. I can't I just can't put my finger on it.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it's just super entertaining.
SPEAKER_03The guy who played terror, did he die of a heart attack immediately after?
SPEAKER_00He did die of a heart attack. I don't know how you guessed.
SPEAKER_03He looked like he was about to die of a heart attack.
SPEAKER_00He was like a trained opera singer, apparently. Have you you haven't seen Running Man, have you? He's Dutch, by the way.
SPEAKER_03Oh, his voice. I also wrote Wow, Terror's voice. Where did I write that? Oh, I just wrote Pee-wee, wow, and Terror, her boyfriend.
SPEAKER_00So Terror was in uh I wrote down all the name. Every so every he's only been in four movies. Okay, here. One of the characters, so he was terror in this movie. The guy's name is Erlen Van Lithejude. I don't know if I'm saying that right. He was growing. Ghostburger and Stir Crazy. I don't know. Ronald Fatty Elster and Alone in the Dark and Dynamo and Running Man. Oh my god. Poor guy never actually got a real name. Dynamo and Running Man is the he so he's this is the guy. If you've seen Running Man, who has all the lights on him for no real reason. He has electricity and he sings opera. Schwarzenegger makes pretty quick work.
SPEAKER_03Have I seen Running Man? Do we watch that?
SPEAKER_00No, we gotta watch that. Okay. We've talked about watching it, you haven't seen it.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_00You'll like it. Is it the one with the enjoy yourself?
SPEAKER_03Toys.
SPEAKER_00If by toys you mean Richard Dawson. It is the one with the toys.
SPEAKER_03Um all right. And yeah, when he opens up his mouth to talk, it's not the voice you expect.
SPEAKER_00No.
SPEAKER_03Um then I wrote, okay, so then so then he says something. So then the high school kid says something. Or sorry, one of the wanderers. Is his name Joey?
SPEAKER_00Joey, yeah.
SPEAKER_03He says something nasty about the way the bald is looking.
SPEAKER_00Salek uh comment commentary with ears.
SPEAKER_03And so then they start chasing him. And I wrote down everyone's butts look great in those jeans. The jeans that they were wearing in that era were very flattering, all the butts of the boys.
SPEAKER_00Like terror.
SPEAKER_03No, there's the wanderers. I didn't really see any of the butts of the other guys. The butts of the Dell Bombers were also great.
SPEAKER_00I did not notice the butts, but uh huh.
SPEAKER_03I guess that's the difference between you and me. Is that it? Is that what you're it's one of them? Um, alright, and then so then they he's gonna beat Joey up, but then this big guy steps in and he says, Leave the kid alone.
SPEAKER_00Leave the kid alone.
SPEAKER_03And he basically, that's basically what I think you looked like.
SPEAKER_00That's exactly what like your build and just like Oh, you think I look like uh like your build. So I only I will forget At that age.
SPEAKER_03At that age.
SPEAKER_00At that age? Oh that age I was like 5'11.
SPEAKER_03Well, but I mean in college, it was like it was like you were big and muscular, but you still almost didn't look like you were done, like growing.
SPEAKER_00I gotcha.
SPEAKER_03Now you look like a regular settled in man.
SPEAKER_00What was his name? Uh uh Perry. Perry, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03Perry.
SPEAKER_00Perry. Uh that was uh Joe or Tony Tony Ganeos. So did you ever see he was 6'4. Greek Italian.
SPEAKER_03You are 6'4. So see how I was right about that.
SPEAKER_00He have you ever seen Porkies?
SPEAKER_03I've seen scenes from it. He's been on in our life together. It's not a movie I ever want to watch, though, I can tell you.
SPEAKER_00That's another movie that I fell in love with immediately as a as a teenage boy.
SPEAKER_03I don't like it.
SPEAKER_00It so, anyways, he plays Meat. Um, it's not his real name in the movie, but he gets that name from it's another phallic reference.
SPEAKER_03Uh-huh. And we should put a warner up at the top if you're gonna listen to this episode with your children.
SPEAKER_00Well, honey, that's what adult family earmuffs are for. The whole episode phallic is basically like a we're we might as well be doctors right now.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, that's true. That's true.
SPEAKER_00Or at least or Greek uh literature uh experts. That's true. I'm sorry. Yeah. I apologize. That was rude. Sorry.
SPEAKER_03Enjoy your classic documents.
SPEAKER_00If you're a doctor or a Greek literature expert, it's a way to help you. Yeah, sorry. It's a way to help you.
SPEAKER_03Um but yeah, so he comes in, saves the day, and then Joey wisely befriends him and gets him to join the Wanderers.
SPEAKER_00That was a good that was a good move.
SPEAKER_03That was. Joey was Joey reminds me of some people I feel like I've known in my life.
SPEAKER_00Yes, me too. Like he even looks like somebody I know.
SPEAKER_03He kind of reminded me of some of your friends from high school.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I get that. Um I don't know who.
SPEAKER_03They're just kind of like the small, smart guys who can't keep their mouth shut, but they're still smart enough, like street smart enough to like truly stay out of trouble.
SPEAKER_00Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_03Probably because of his horrible home life. Why can't anyone have nice parents?
SPEAKER_00Joey's dad, Emilio. Oh my gosh, that dude is out of control.
SPEAKER_03I feel like that's who he was just playing himself. I feel like they were like, here, just read these lines.
SPEAKER_00William Andrews, I think was the guy's name. I was trying to find more information on him. I mean, he's been in some stuff, but not a whole lot.
SPEAKER_03What were his stats? Did you look those up?
SPEAKER_00Gosh, he was, I think he was like 6'4, 6'6, somewhere around there. He was 6'4, I think. He was huge. That dude was built.
SPEAKER_03And he also, he was probably like 30 in that movie. That's what we've come to discover is that people we think look like they're 50 are younger than us now.
SPEAKER_00During that fight, I I don't I don't suppose you've seen Happy Gilmore enough to know who uh Mr. Larson is. Do you? The giant the giant who he played Jaws in the James Bond movie.
SPEAKER_03Uh no, just keep talking.
SPEAKER_00Okay. The guy who Billy Band or Happy Gilmore shoots with the nail gun.
SPEAKER_03Okay. Yes, yes, yes. Well, at the end, he's like kind of like a big face. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00At the end he's chasing a shooter. He's leading the charge, and he's like, ah, it's this close-up of his face. That's the exact same face.
SPEAKER_03Of that guy.
SPEAKER_00That Emilio made. Do you think they were like Right before he punched Joey in the gut, inexplicably.
SPEAKER_03Do you know why he did that? I just assumed he didn't know who he was.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that or he's just bloodlusted and didn't care. Well, it was like uh there's this character called Logan Ninefingers in the Joe Abercrombie books I like.
SPEAKER_04Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_00Who is this great guy? Well, Emilio's not a great guy, but he'll turn into it's like a Jekyll and Hyde kind of thing. Like juggernaut. Top notch. Top notch. Kill everything.
SPEAKER_03Nice.
SPEAKER_00Doesn't matter. It kills everyone. Anyways, another time.
SPEAKER_03Another time.
SPEAKER_00He couldn't have to be a few.
SPEAKER_03Maybe I'll finally rip off the band-aid and read one.
SPEAKER_00I would actually love to see somebody doing Logan Ninefingers versus the Ducky Boys. Yeah. Maybe you can have the. Do you know who Mike Hagar is?
SPEAKER_03Oh my gosh. Are we ever gonna get through the Wanderers route?
SPEAKER_01I want to talk about Emilio.
SPEAKER_03Just so you know, we've been talking for 50 minutes. Have we? Yes.
SPEAKER_00About the Wanderers?
SPEAKER_03No, period.
SPEAKER_00Okay. About period?
SPEAKER_03About 50 minutes a period. They'll bring that up again. I've been getting questions at the wazoo about that.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I mean I'll be right back.
SPEAKER_03All right.
The Classroom Scene And What It Normalizes
SPEAKER_03Perry steps in, Joey befriends them. The next scene, they're I think is in the classroom.
SPEAKER_00It might be.
SPEAKER_03And they're in high their high school classroom, which I also wrote, only adults go to this high school because none of these people look like children.
SPEAKER_00No, it's serious like 90210.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, they're all like 30. Um and then I said the race classroom discussion. Wowza.
SPEAKER_00So yeah, the teacher just kids are in that class, like 90?
SPEAKER_0334, I counted.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_03Because he wrote down how many were of each.
SPEAKER_00He did the bath for us.
SPEAKER_0334 students. Boys only, where are the girls? That's what I wrote.
SPEAKER_00That quote where he's like, Do you know who wrote this? And they're all like, You did. That I read that is uh and he's like, No, Abraham Lincoln. And it was actually a Thomas Jefferson quote. Yeah. Like the teacher was just a moron.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Well, I didn't, and I kind of wondered too, like that just keeps making me think the director did know exactly what he was doing.
SPEAKER_00So the author of the book said about the director or said said about when he saw the film, he said it's nothing at all like the book.
SPEAKER_03We have a lot of coughing tonight. But I loved it.
SPEAKER_00He said it's nothing at all like the book, but I love it because it had its energy. Whatever that means. Okay.
SPEAKER_03So who knows?
SPEAKER_00Apparently they were all kind of going for just Yeah.
SPEAKER_03So what did you want to say? Anything else additional about that scene where he just exit like the teacher's like, All right, you know, Italians, what what are all the terrible things you can think of to call black people? If yeah, if you haven't seen this movie, they go off like every single racial slur for every ethnic group of all time, including white people's ethnicity.
SPEAKER_00And I gotta I gotta say, like I hate to sound like I'm getting like a political soapbox or something, but this movie definitely you're talking about like not showing this to kids. At least when it comes to racial racial stuff, it's probably a good idea because it really makes it seem like it's okay to call somebody You mean because the teacher is inviting the class to have this debate. Let's not be that bad.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. So we were talking about the classroom racist discussion and how it made s makes it seem like it's okay. And it's not.
SPEAKER_00Right.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Let's just uh racism's bad.
SPEAKER_03And then I wrote, was high school ever actually like this?
SPEAKER_00I so I had some crazy No. I I never went to Oh, you mean like in the 60s?
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Because I had a class that was all guys, except for the two girls, and we What class was it?
SPEAKER_03And why was it like that?
SPEAKER_00Because Well w I was in it.
SPEAKER_03No, no, why were there only boys in it? Is what I want to know.
SPEAKER_00Oh, I don't know. It just worked out that way. And the teacher, I mean I I love the teacher, but he did the never mind. We it was it was an absolutely chaotic class, it was insane.
SPEAKER_03So that was a yeah.
SPEAKER_00And it was great. Did you learn anything? That teacher is the one who ran the detention, or my brother, where we were all taking ginseng supplements, and my brother got up on the uh this is detention. My my brother got up on the desk, and because but both both my brother and I were in detention this time. Together, wow, yeah. I skipped class and he I don't even know what he did, but we're both in there, all dudes. Mr. Uh Mr. W is running it. He just loses control immediately. He wanted to. He didn't care, he wanted to be entertained.
SPEAKER_03He didn't care.
SPEAKER_00I say, Joe, do Magic Mountain. Joe gets up on the desk.
SPEAKER_03Magic Mountain, is that in the Jeffries data sheet?
SPEAKER_00Um I don't know. It should be. We talked about it. Look it up. It's when my brother can suck air in and blow it out. He gets up. Yeah, puts his butt up in the air on top of a desk, and he's just and you can hear it to the point where do I talk about in and out?
SPEAKER_03Yes.
SPEAKER_00Okay. You want me to move on?
SPEAKER_03I well, finish the detention story.
SPEAKER_00That's the teacher. That's the teacher who ran in class. Yeah, yeah. The teacher who will let that go on detention.
SPEAKER_03So then the end result. The end result of that is that they end up having to schedule a big fight, which I think is hilarious. It's scheduling fights. And then I wrote because everybody keeps walking away with this swagger in these big groups, and I kept I wrote, I keep waiting for the big musical dance numbers, but they never come. Because it feels like it should be like right into like a West Side story.
SPEAKER_00Oh, they they even have doo-op.
SPEAKER_03They do sing in the car later. I was like, this is what I've been waiting for.
SPEAKER_00Singing that uh Stranger, I tried to find that song. Apparently, it was written for this it was original.
SPEAKER_03Oh wow.
SPEAKER_00They all just yeah, spontaneously go into doo-op and then wind up in Ducky Boy country.
SPEAKER_03So they think the next scene they're at the bowling alley.
Bowling Alley Politics And Gang Alliances
SPEAKER_00Yes.
SPEAKER_03Or it get there pretty quick.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03And they're all my favorite thing is they're all wearing these wanderer jackets, which are like satin, maroon, and gold, but they're all a little different. Some of them have like baseball style sleeves where the sleeves are different. Any of this. The sleeves are a little different. The sleeves are green, or sorry, what did I just say? Gold and maroon.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_03The sleeves are gold and the jacket's maroon, or vice versa, on somebody else. Or somebody had a fully gold jacket with maroon logo. It's also like this is great. Because it's probably like whatever year you got inducted into the Wanderers is just like, this was the jacket of that year. That's how I like so. I that's what I think. That's what I want.
SPEAKER_00I've seen this movie, I think, four times, and I uh I said I like how jackets are a variation on a theme.
SPEAKER_03So then the butts.
SPEAKER_00Oh my goodness. So they're at the bowling alley.
SPEAKER_03And the girlfriend from the very adult opening scene is there.
SPEAKER_04What is her name?
SPEAKER_03Dip Disby? Disby. Dispy.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Disby? She's something weird. She's really pretty. She plays like a complete dit.
SPEAKER_00She's a bit she's a bit of a misophonia nightmare.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, she's a lot of gum chewing and snacking. Anyway, so she comes to talk to her boyfriend Richie, one of the wanderers, and by the way, he has absolutely gorgeous green eyes. I'm not sure I've seen someone with green eyes like that before.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, he would uh David Lopin would be all over all over him. Sorry, it's blue in the microphone. Um, I really want as a wonder with green eyes.
SPEAKER_03Indeed.
SPEAKER_02It's an Italian boy with green eyes. Kind of messed up teeth.
SPEAKER_00I don't know how much before it was. It wasn't that before.
SPEAKER_03What year was it filmed?
SPEAKER_00I feel like he might have made it. He might have had a more successful career if he uh had braces.
SPEAKER_03What'd you say happened to him? What was the real name?
SPEAKER_00Some kind of accident. He had a little bit of success on TV, but not not much.
SPEAKER_03Um really great eyes, so Richie with the green eyes.
SPEAKER_00You know Stitch? Remember Stitch? From from the Dell, he led the Dell Bombers.
SPEAKER_03Oh, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00He was at he was he's been in some stuff. Did you ever see Money Talks with Chris Tucker and Charlie Sheen?
SPEAKER_03I don't think so.
SPEAKER_00He's Aaron, the like weapons dealer with a really deep voice who has a rocket launcher. Okay.
SPEAKER_03Wow, there's still some stuff. I know.
SPEAKER_00I love this is all this is all your favorite. I love this.
SPEAKER_03Uh so anyway, while they're at the bowling alley, the girlfriend comes over and she's like, My dad wants to talk to you. And so he goes and talks to the dad, when the dad's basically like, I oh, because they also try to recruit some other gangs to help them fight the bombers.
SPEAKER_00She's trying to unite the clans.
SPEAKER_03And what was the first one's names that said no?
SPEAKER_00I don't remember. So they're not the ones with a gun, right?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, they were the ones with the first one. Those kids were about to be. So that was the guys that were hiding behind the first group. What was the I don't remember what any of them except for the third guys who showed up.
SPEAKER_00Did you ever see the Warriors?
SPEAKER_03Warriors?
SPEAKER_00So this came Warriors came out the same year. Oh. 79. Another gang, another New York gang movie with a lot of wild gangs.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00A bit darker all the way through. You know, different movie. Kind of the same in some parts. Anyways. Um The Rogues, I think that was the name of the, you know, the Warriors. What'd you just say? Yeah. Um, they had guns.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_00And I don't know which which came first, but they very much reminded me of the rogues, just punks. Like who are willing to murder somebody?
SPEAKER_03We're should shoot them. Like and they were like, no, no, no, no guns. So you can't come. It's like, well, then we're not coming. So two two of them say no. And then what's the name of the third group?
SPEAKER_00Well, you got the wongs. The wongs. The wongs are hiding the whole time. We we were here early. We'd just been waiting to show up.
SPEAKER_03They were some synchronized artists. Steady wag. Some synchronized martial artists.
SPEAKER_00Oh my gosh. I love the I thought the wongs were so freaking cool when I first saw this movie.
SPEAKER_03I bet you did. You really love a martial art, an Asian fighting.
SPEAKER_00Every single scene in this movie has is premium entertainment value for an adolescent boy.
SPEAKER_03Maybe as someone who was never an adolescent boy, that's why for me.
SPEAKER_00I just remember watching this. This is Carrie this for the first time and being like, what is this? Like, and I did I for whatever reason I couldn't remember what it was called, or I didn't I didn't know. I picked it up in the middle of it or something. Uh and by the time it came around the second time, I was all over it. And then I bought the DVD and whatever. But um, yeah, you know uh do you know Sonny Jeracey? No, okay, you know, you know the song Time Won't Let Me?
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And Precious and Few.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Uh his son was friends with my This is like me trying to oh yes, yes.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, Justin. And he had a Ducky Boy shirt on one time. And I was like, wait a second. Is that from the wonders? He's like, yeah. I'm like, like he was immediately like the coolest kid. Yeah. Plus, he could also play the guitar really well too. Figured that his dad was a rock star.
SPEAKER_03Um, all right, so so then the dad says, I heard you're having some trouble with some gangs, we can help you out. And basically kind of like takes control of it. Kind of doesn't really seem like Richie wants to get the dads involved. I don't think so. No. And so then they go set up a a good good thing with the dads of the dads? Are they the dads of the Dell Bombers?
SPEAKER_00I think so.
SPEAKER_03The adults of the Dell Bombers.
SPEAKER_00Who are the we think they might be men of the They look like pimps, but I don't know.
SPEAKER_03Maybe that's just uh men of the night. The men of the ladies of the night.
SPEAKER_00One of the gangs was literally called the Pimps. You know? Like maybe it was just a uh 60s thing. I I don't know. Maybe that's just how you dress when you're uh dress nice.
SPEAKER_03I also wanted to talk about bowling alleys just in general, because as someone who only ever went to the bowling alleys like after bowling alleys were like the nice places to hang out, like the bowling alley I ever went to was just like clearly a tired place, which you've we've been to. Looks the same, essentially. And it's like this bowling alley looks like super clean, super nice. Like it's obviously like culturally like where people were hanging out, right?
SPEAKER_00Well, if you misbehave in there, they're gonna break your hand.
SPEAKER_03Well, if you go and try to hustle some people, so then my favorite scene was when they when they um beat up those kids and he punched them in the stomach and all the money cash just exploded.
SPEAKER_00It's a literal money shot.
SPEAKER_03The money punch, yeah, that's what I wrote.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that's a nicer way to put it.
SPEAKER_03Uh so yeah, so now they're so now Richie's in with the dads.
SPEAKER_00They Richie's watching that whole thing, right?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, and so then that's like he was basically saying, if you don't play football, which we didn't know that's what they were gonna do, but basically like you gotta win it. We got money on this now on your fight with
Emilio And The E.T. Street Game
SPEAKER_03the guys. So then it takes you back to the apartment building with Joey, and you get to meet Emilio, his dad, and he's wearing a purple house coat. And I wrote, I don't like Emilio or his purple house coat. And he's and Joey's like painting this incredible mural.
SPEAKER_00He's like, That's weird.
SPEAKER_03His dad's like, Well, people like look like weird people. Doesn't like doesn't even really make any sense. Like, have you ever seen a sign, dude? You know what I mean? Like, it's not that weird.
SPEAKER_00Every scene with a guy's dad. Every scene with Amelia.
SPEAKER_03What was he saying when he was having his wife measure his muscle? About his bust biceps.
SPEAKER_00He was like Schwarzenegger and puppy, just like talking about the pump.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, so then they introduce the dad as a real jerk. Yeah. And also in the meantime, you find out that Perry's mom, he says she's got blood pressure problems, but really she's an alcoholic.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_00And once his face is taking advantage of that.
SPEAKER_03Yes, but we don't know that yet.
SPEAKER_00True.
SPEAKER_03Okay, so then I wrote, and you can tell you can you can describe this scene, but I wrote, I miss the days when groups of high school boys used to hang out on the street to cop feels instead of inside playing video games.
SPEAKER_00That's really applying yourself. Dude, that's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_03Video games have ruined society.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, let's go play adult family earmuffs. I'll say it once. Okay, yeah. And then I'll call it E.T. from now on.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_00They play a game called Elbow Tit.
SPEAKER_03Oh, okay. Um I was like, how does adult family earmuffs translate to E.T., but I'm with you now.
SPEAKER_00So we'll just call it E.T. Yeah. Okay, take your adult family earmuffs off now.
SPEAKER_03Off of your adult family.
SPEAKER_00If you're adult family, take them off.
SPEAKER_04They're not for you. They're not for you.
SPEAKER_00So uh E.T. is a game where game played in the Bronx by high school boys and high school boys and southern jackets. 30-year-old high school boys and southern jackets.
SPEAKER_03The best kind of high school boys are 30.
SPEAKER_00You walk up to a woman. By the way, what were brawls like that big?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, they were.
SPEAKER_00Okay. They're really torpedo-y.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Kind of cool. So they that was not an anachronism.
SPEAKER_03No, I don't think so.
SPEAKER_00Okay, good. Alright, so they they're walking down the street, and then the game is that you kind of bump in to accidentally, quote unquote, bump into a woman with your elbow. With your elbow to her T, and you might co grap uh cop a feel while you're doing it. While you're doing it.
SPEAKER_03So they're just standing there.
SPEAKER_00And then kind of like gaslighting these women.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Oh, you but you bumped into me.
SPEAKER_00And all the guys are like, eh, yeah.
SPEAKER_03Like also, like they're just standing there waiting for women to come.
SPEAKER_00Chewing all matchsticks.
SPEAKER_03Loudly, yeah. Loudly talking about what they're about to do. These women are like, I'm just I can't imagine being any less than a block away and not knowing what they were all up to.
SPEAKER_00And then that one uh woman who's gotta be taller than Perry and Amelia on each other's shoulders.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Who they they did that that thing. They did they didn't really do this. It's kind of like almost surreal. Like it was a woman, she kept morphing. She kept getting bigger and bigger as he got closer. Uh because Joey. I didn't notice that. Yeah, she she turned into three she started with it was three different women.
SPEAKER_03I didn't notice that. I guess I was too busy looking at the jacket differences.
SPEAKER_00Well, that's the that's the trade-off of you. Check out checking out Joey's butt.
SPEAKER_03You miss the uh the miss the woman that you were checking out. It's for a transforming woman. She has more than meets the eye.
SPEAKER_00So she uh basically throws Joey through a wall.
SPEAKER_03I made a Transformers joke to see.
SPEAKER_00More than meets the Oh my goodness. Here, come here, come here.
SPEAKER_03Guys, it's hard to be funny with Everyone's like, that wasn't that funny. That's why you didn't stop.
SPEAKER_00It was a really good joke.
unknownThat was great.
SPEAKER_00That was nice. You did you the rhythm of it was really I want to play some meat tea with you real quick.
SPEAKER_03No, I don't want that.
SPEAKER_00Hey, watch where you're going.
SPEAKER_03Hey, you ran into me.
SPEAKER_00Why are you moving so fast in this? Why are you moving so fast in this line? Supposed to stand in line.
SPEAKER_03I'm standing still.
SPEAKER_00I'm standing here. So we gotta speed up. Okay, okay. He meets Nina. Nina comes down. Nina knows just what they're up to, but she likes it.
SPEAKER_03Seems to.
SPEAKER_00It's really weird. They're playing Stranger on the Shore by Acre Bilk while Richie and Nina are talking. You know that song?
SPEAKER_02Bone.
SPEAKER_00Okay, but I don't know. Okay, I'm I'm speeding it up. It's really strange juxtaposition there between like this really beautiful tune and a molesting.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, and she like basically accuses him of molesting. But she's like, but she's like, but later I'm gonna call you and go to a party with you. It's cool with me, though. And he also tries to act like he's setting her up with his friend Joey, but he because he has a girlfriend already, Dipsy. Dispy.
SPEAKER_00Dipsy. Let's call her Dipsy. They both um Dipsy. They both know what they were up to. Yeah, they did. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03So anyway, so hop in the car.
SPEAKER_00They go to Saint Break out and do up.
SPEAKER_03Oh, that's when they break out and do up.
SPEAKER_00Is that when they got it real fast?
SPEAKER_03That's what I'm asking you about the timelines and stuff. All of a sudden it's night.
SPEAKER_00I read something where there is, I don't I don't know about that specifically, but there is something where like with the scene with the girl that morphs that you missed, they do this kind of like what Stand By Me did, or like what the Sandlot did, where they kind of make make these situations where you're not exactly sure if it's if it's the way they remember it, or if it's the way that you know what I mean? Sure.
SPEAKER_03Perception or reality.
SPEAKER_00Like a Bo is a like a really subtle version of Bo is afraid. You haven't seen that, I haven't. We'll move on. So they've wind up in Ducky Boy country. The Ducky Boys are weird.
SPEAKER_03They don't talk, they're all really weird, they don't make any noise.
SPEAKER_00They don't yeah. They hang out in a church.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00They that church scene was kind of unsettling. Like it was really weird.
SPEAKER_03And they like creepily smile. But anyway, Perry gets out of the church.
SPEAKER_00Perry thinks he could take all of them.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, and he tries and they break his hand and they just barely get out of there with their lives. Which is foreshadowing for poor old Turkey.
SPEAKER_00Poor old Turkey.
SPEAKER_03Because he doesn't get out of Ducky Boy territory later on with physics. They just chase him and then he and then he just falls off and dies on his own. Of up that tower thing. So anyway, then they end up at a party at the house of Dipsy. Because her
Party Scenes That Drag
SPEAKER_03parents go out of town and they invite this girl that they just felt up all over the street. She comes.
SPEAKER_00Wait a minute. Emilio. Well, she calls Joey. Emilio's like, hey, Joey, some dame's been calling you. She sounds like a librarian. You got books overdue? I wrote that down. Something like that. I I that cracks me up. I love Emilio. He's terrible.
SPEAKER_03He's the worst, yeah.
SPEAKER_00I gotta get an Emilio shirt.
SPEAKER_03I don't want you to be.
SPEAKER_00What do you say we get a big picture of Emilio right now?
SPEAKER_03No. Is that you think that's what our buddy Seth wanted for the of his arms? You think that's what Seth had in mind for the green screen? That's right. Just like a we pick a character from whatever we're talking about, and that's what's on the backdrop of the day. Like they're right here with us.
SPEAKER_00My buddy, our buddy Seth, who I put played bass with at church, he Well, Seth isn't the only one who plays bass.
SPEAKER_03Rob Rob doesn't play bass with him.
SPEAKER_00Right, right, right.
SPEAKER_03He plays bass with Rob.
SPEAKER_00He's like the coolest dude ever. Like he he's not like he's like, I'm not trying to tell you guys, you know, how to do your show with him.
SPEAKER_03Also, here's some free gum mints because they're always bringing us things. So nice.
SPEAKER_00He gave me a whole thing of icebreakers. So thank you. Thank you, Seth. So Seth said, we'll give you uh we'll give you. Seth said it'd be cool if it looked like you were standing in line with people.
SPEAKER_03I don't know why he thinks it doesn't look like we're standing in line, Seth.
SPEAKER_00So I'm gonna get a green screen. I've I've been looking into it.
SPEAKER_03Are you gonna paint these babies green? This is what I'm thinking.
SPEAKER_00This is what I'm thinking. I'm gonna run it by you real quick and then we'll zoom through wanderers. Okay. We've talked about a lot of the scenes already.
SPEAKER_03We have.
SPEAKER_00This is what I'm thinking. We you know, like around the holidays when you're watching, like, like if you're at your parents watching Dish Network and that's Santa's workshop comes up and things randomly go across the screen. Yeah, I want to do that.
SPEAKER_03Oh my god.
SPEAKER_00Like I feel like we can make a dad could help you plan that out. Squeeze out a little bit of audience retention if somebody just wants to see just watch a mouse pickets.
SPEAKER_03Amelia lift a weight. Measures by work punch a high schooler. Or 20,000.
SPEAKER_00Break a break a wooden plank like he's freaking hacksaw Jim Duncan off of Dugan or whatever it's like off of a bench. Like a football field. Throw use ducky boys as weapons. He's like, this plank bores me. I'm gonna beat up your I'm gonna beat you up with your friends.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, so like ultimately get into some fights about the at the party, and finally they let's just say that they arrive at the woman, the older woman, his friend.
SPEAKER_00He's like hammered, he's drinking tango, like just taken to the dome. She's like, and he pukes in the trophy. Yeah. She's like, she's like, how am I gonna get home? Yeah. Like if you don't notice this dude's been sloshed for like six hours. Okay, go move on.
SPEAKER_03So then they end up at the football field.
SPEAKER_00That's where they play strip poker, by the way.
SPEAKER_03Oh yeah, that scene I wrote. I wrote, what did I write?
SPEAKER_00You can't exactly just skip over that.
SPEAKER_03I wrote this poker scene is literally killing me. I also wrote the way they wear suits to parties. Like all the boys were wearing suits.
SPEAKER_00And call out the dance moves?
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00That was kind of fun.
SPEAKER_03I want it, I want, I want that.
SPEAKER_00You you want to do that? You want to go to a party where they call out the moves?
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I'm gonna know like two.
SPEAKER_03Well, yeah, but you could learn. But anyway, they have this incredibly long strip poker scene that just doesn't really ever go anywhere at all. And she's like, I never played this before. But she's like sitting there with no clothes on.
SPEAKER_00And they're both just sitting there like oggling.
SPEAKER_03Yes, it's so uncomfortable. I don't even really want to talk about it.
SPEAKER_00Anyways, I did count. It went on for over three songs. This boom, they played like a jukebox. Boom, boom, boom. Wow. Three and a half.
SPEAKER_03The whole song.
SPEAKER_00I wrote down the movie would only be an hour if the strip poker scene wasn't in it and the never-ending nesting box.
SPEAKER_03Oh yeah. At the back at the end.
SPEAKER_00Keeps opening the box.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, his smaller and smaller boxes.
SPEAKER_00It ends up being a uh a prophylactic.
SPEAKER_03Oh yeah. Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_00Like that. Put it on your phallic. So anyway, they finally get phallic prophylactic.
SPEAKER_03They finally get. Oh, at the football game, does he know that his girlfriend's pregnant?
SPEAKER_00Yeah. She's so they're hooking up at chur in a some sort of catacomb?
SPEAKER_03Yes, like under a Catholic church. It's so weird, you guys. Don't ever do that.
SPEAKER_00Oh, we breezed over where the Baldies all got recruited to the Marines.
SPEAKER_03Oh, yeah, they're all drunk and they went and this guy was like, damn it, don't you? And Pee's like, don't.
SPEAKER_02Damn it, you know what you did.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I want to talk about this movie for seven more hours. I can't wait to do that. You can't. I'm sorry if we're going to go.
SPEAKER_03So they're playing football, and the black kids show up, and they are like in incredibly fine football uniforms. Like very nice, very put together.
SPEAKER_00They have real quick, I do want to get to that. Let's just say Richie did knock up Desby.
SPEAKER_04Oh, right.
SPEAKER_00Mr. The Galoso brothers or whatever are in on it. They take kind of take them in. Shotgun wedding.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00What's he say? Um, you know, uh, you know, I hooked up with all sorts of whatever, but then he's like, but I never did nobody's daughter.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Some good lines.
SPEAKER_00That guy is something.
SPEAKER_03He doesn't look like someone that had a lot of girlfriends. Just saying.
SPEAKER_00He doesn't, exactly.
SPEAKER_03He looks like maybe he said you'll grow into it.
SPEAKER_00It's like Larry Flynn, kind of.
SPEAKER_03Well, he gave him that big oversized Tawaian shirt, and he was like, You'll grow into it once you get married. So I guess you're gonna get the founders.
unknownJeez.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00It was a what a guy.
SPEAKER_03It was a time.
SPEAKER_00So Del the Del Bombers and their and their football finery.
Football Game Brawl And The Wongs
SPEAKER_03The Del Bombers and their football finery. Yes. And they have a a squad with male cheerleaders that come out with some incredible gymnastics.
SPEAKER_00It's like the Blues Brothers uh church scene.
SPEAKER_03It was great. I like that.
SPEAKER_00Much better than the Ducky Boys church scene.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, that's true. So the uh the wanderers are like literally wearing jeans that they have rolled up to their knees. And they're not the tight-fitting jeans from earlier, they're like loose work jeans. And they're just they can't do Richie's not playing because they're all mad at Richie because he stole Joey's girl.
SPEAKER_00Richie's a bit of a jerk.
SPEAKER_03He's kind of a slimy. He's a child. Kind of a sleaze. Yeah. He's about to be a father, though. So he's got to straighten up. So he sees how badly they're getting beaten by the Dell Bombers, Richie does. So he steps in, he's like, I'm gonna be the quarterback, and Joey's gonna be the halfback. And then they start winning, right?
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_03Which seems ridiculous. Yeah, it's yeah, whatever.
SPEAKER_00It's every it's every movie ever.
SPEAKER_03Then the Ducky Boys show up. For whatever reason, we do not know.
SPEAKER_00Andy Sandberg shows up on the scene for a stiletto. Jake Baralta. I swear that dude.
SPEAKER_03It does look like maybe it's his dad. Find out. Not on this podcast, but next for next time. So he so then for whatever reason, there's like trillions of Ducky Boys there.
SPEAKER_00They just keep popping up like a horror movie.
SPEAKER_03Like the way they brought them on was that has to be like the one and only element of thriller.
SPEAKER_00Hitchcock. Yeah, very Hitchcock. That's great. That's great. Makes look at me. I'm working on my Cenophile ship.
SPEAKER_03So anyway, then they have a big brawl with them. Looks like the Ducky Boys are winning there for a minute.
SPEAKER_00Well, the Wongs come in. The Wongs come in. Because they're just sitting there watching. The Baldies weren't in it. I wish the bodies were in it. I really want to see Terra fight. He was a wrestler too, apparently.
SPEAKER_03Weren't they in the Marines by that point?
SPEAKER_00I guess they ship them off that quick.
SPEAKER_03Because she well, that's my question. Because then she's crying about how the Marines don't write her letters. Yeah. I'm like, well, how long have they been gone?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I I felt I I I I was I swear I was listening to you before, but you're you're you're really making sense right now. I d I don't I don't know. Her hair grew out too.
SPEAKER_03Well she styled it differently, too.
SPEAKER_00Okay, I guess that's not much about hair.
SPEAKER_03So they're fighting the duckies, the duckies look like they're winning, but then the tides turn. I don't really and there's no clear for like they play this awful like horror music. Yeah. And then for about ten seconds, they play like poppy sixties.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03And then they go back to the horror music. It's very jarring, doesn't make any sense.
SPEAKER_00They must have done the music with those six minutes. To say something something had to have happened where because the Ducky Boys It almost like they were sort of winning.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, and then they just start leaving.
SPEAKER_00And Amelia was there there are pockets of the battle where the wanderer's side was definitely winning. Sure. Basically anywhere where Amelia Mike Hagger uh was, but I'm with you. It's it was a cool fight. I enjoy the heck out of it.
SPEAKER_03But it wasn't that great. I felt like it was very fake.
SPEAKER_00It was. When I say a cool fight, I mean like um you haven't seen uh They Live, right?
SPEAKER_03Oh my gosh. Everything is this reference to the floor. Okay, that's why we had to make the Jeffries data sheet.
SPEAKER_00There's yes. There's some fights. I hate the Jeffries data sheet. There's some fights that okay, here's a good example. Deep Space Nine Triples fight. It's this terrible fight. As far as choreography goes, it's terrible. But it's just great.
SPEAKER_03Well, I understand that. But yes, I just wanted to make sure you knew that it wasn't good. No, I did think You know that was a bad you're right.
SPEAKER_00I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said nothing. I'm sorry, Tara.
SPEAKER_01Tara You know what you do.
SPEAKER_03You know what you do.
SPEAKER_00I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_03So then whatever, then they all unite together. The Dell Bombers and the Wanderers.
SPEAKER_00They're friends now. Are they all pals?
SPEAKER_03And then like one of them comes to his bachelor party where with the nesting boxes full of one condom.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, kind of Teddy Wong was there.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
The Ending And What Never Resolves
SPEAKER_03And some random lady singing The Wanderers.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, the lady busts out Dion, she's not afraid.
SPEAKER_03But then Perry and Joey, they have to get out of town because Joey's dad has been sleeping with Perry's mom. And he shows and Perry after oh and and sorry. Joey's dad punches Perry. Bart. Joey's dad punches Joey in the stomach really hard. And so then he's like, I'm never going back there. And so he's sleeping across the hall with Perry. Perry's mom is in the hospital with alcoholism. We don't really know. And he's like, I'm never going back to my dad's. I'm never gonna live there again, or whatever. And so then they decide they're gonna go to California.
SPEAKER_00Dad shows up.
SPEAKER_03The dad shows up to sleep with the woman with alcohol.
SPEAKER_00So he's like getting this just he's a predator. Yeah. He's at all for as much as I love Emilio. Emilio needs to go down. Yeah. Emilio needed something harder than a big one.
SPEAKER_03Unfortunately, though, Perry has a broken hand. So I feel like he's at a disadvantage because I think he probably couldn't have taken Emilia.
SPEAKER_00But also, but Perry had there's like kind of this old school they never quite developed.
SPEAKER_03He's like, You that's your dad.
SPEAKER_02He's like, That's your father. You don't hit your father like that. You shouldn't have done that.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. You know, there's like this weird kind of honor thing in there. It's like you should just let him beat you.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah. You deserve this.
SPEAKER_00Because you know that Perry Perry fought what, like eight bodies at once? Yeah. Who's those dudes are massive, by the way. They're not small.
SPEAKER_03And so then Joey cracks us, cracks the bottle over the dad's head and knocks him out. So then they're like, we gotta get out of here right now. So then they go to the bachelor party bachelor party and then they leave. And that is is that it?
SPEAKER_00That's it, pretty much, yeah. We I know we skipped some details of several scenes, but did you have any other comments that didn't get made? Oh my gosh. Yeah, I'm sure I did. But I said how much time do we have left to talk about Southern Play listening?
SPEAKER_03Like 15 minutes. The scenes with the Ducky Boys are too much, I said. The fight scene in Tidy Whitey's is so sad. And then I said, This is if Disney made kids.
SPEAKER_00Yes. It was like a yes. That's that's great. That's a great way to put it. We'll leave it at that. Um, with that comment anyway. I said they were singing Volare. Do you know the song Volare? Volare.
SPEAKER_04Yes.
SPEAKER_00They're singing that in class while they were like chanting terrible things at the Black Gang. Um, but I do love that song. I'd like to cover that sometime. I gotta learn some Italian. Uh a cappella car scene. We talked about elbow. We talked about ET, magic stick chewing. I think we talked about that. Money punch, strip poker.
SPEAKER_03I think we covered it all.
SPEAKER_00We we actually did Chubby's uh motorized chair stair lift.
SPEAKER_03Oh, wow. I know. I was like, maybe they had those back then.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, you yeah, Leslie's uh Leslie has one of those.
SPEAKER_03I I don't have one. My mom and dad have one.
SPEAKER_00The way they kind of just shoved JFK and Bob Dylan into it, like this is now like a thought piece.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, so now we're all crying about it and yeah. Wait a minute. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I wrote down Richie's just having a bad day. His friend hates him, his girlfriend's bad. He got her pregnant, the president got shot. I wrote, our pets' heads are falling off.
Outkast Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik Deep Dive
SPEAKER_00Alright, outcast, baby. That's a dumb and dumber. Okay.
SPEAKER_03Tell us the name of the song because you kept saying it to me, and I kept being like, I'm gonna need you to just write this down because I don't know what you're saying.
SPEAKER_00The name of the song. And album, actually. The name of the song and the album, yes. They shared the same name. Southern Playlistic Cadillac music. In the hook, it's Cadillac funky music.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Yes. 1994, I believe. Outcast debut album.
SPEAKER_03Oh, that was their debut album. What else was on there? What was like the main track off that?
SPEAKER_00The biggest hit on there was Play As Ball. Um that actually got a bit of that that put them on the map. Organized Noise was you asked me who Organized Noise was.
SPEAKER_03Yes, I did.
SPEAKER_00I don't I don't know. I don't remember why you asked me.
SPEAKER_03It was in the credits of the when I was watching the words go by on the Apple.
SPEAKER_00Oh, gotcha, gotcha.
SPEAKER_03It was at the end. It was written by Andre3000.
SPEAKER_00So Organized Noise is what put this is the the I guess the record producer that would put this together.
SPEAKER_03Is that a person?
SPEAKER_00No, I don't believe so.
SPEAKER_03A company?
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_00And so they did Goody Mob. Like you know when they end the song where it's like in the dungeon, good uh Big Gip, Goody Mob, PALCA, Southern Playlistic. Okay. Well, do you know CeeLo Green?
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00He was in Goody Mob.
SPEAKER_04Okay.
SPEAKER_00So they kind of came out about the same time.
SPEAKER_04Okay.
SPEAKER_00They were both under organized noise. And Big Boy and Andre 3000 were probably 18.
SPEAKER_03Oh my gosh, the babies.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. So like they met at the mall. Like this song is like almost about like what they it's like. It's super childish, but also kind of like. Like they weren't like real. They gotta throw in like the you know, the token gangster talk. Yeah, but they weren't really gangster. Talking about, you know, got the the the P U M P for anybody talking, you know, although I should know the lyrics because I just sang them. But you're a rap singer. I'm a rap singer. But uh it's just funny because they they didn't they kinda they kind of stopped the hard, like kind of the violent um rapping.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Violent lyrics in their later albums, like A.T. Aliens and Quem and I and Stanconia, I think was out when we were in college. Um I had like bombs over Baghdad on it. They've kind of became a bit more into the I wrote down that they're they're almost like hip-hop Beatles, and the way that they constantly evolved and it always worked. I mean, I was crazy for the Southern hip hop, like the way the Beatles brought the UK. I know I'm really preaching here, but the way the Beatles brought helped bring England into, you know, mainstream rock and roll, they did with like Southern hip hop. Like all these people followed behind of like ludicrous. I mean you'd have like some folks at Flowrider. Yeah, for real.
SPEAKER_03Like he's from Southern. Flowrider owes a lot to uh to Andre 3000 and uh Big Boy Big Boy.
SPEAKER_00So, anyways, I love speaker box. I do love outcast, yeah. Speaker box and uh what was the The Love Below. Love Below, yeah. They just always they always have great stuff.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, they're very, very fun and very there's a lot going on.
SPEAKER_00Crumbling Herb was on this album. I I didn't really get into Outcast till probably college. Dwangle was uh like I knew some of I knew like Elevators from like ATL Ians. I don't even know if I'm saying that right, but ATL IENS is their second album. That's when they really kind of started.
SPEAKER_03Atliens is what I would have said.
SPEAKER_00Atlions, that's probably what it is.
SPEAKER_03I don't know, but I don't know. Well I'm always saying Atlanta, like ATL, like Atlanta Airport.
SPEAKER_00Anytime I hear them refer to Atlanta, they're calling it ATL. So I just who knows? But Dwangle listened to this album a lot, so I listened to it too. But Crumbling Herb is another great tune on here. I love uh it's a great, it's a really good album, like all the way through. Yeah, I listened to it and I was background, but I think you'd love.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. I do love that.
SPEAKER_00So the way we did this song was I can't remember if I did this song with the bendables or not.
SPEAKER_03Uh what was the song you were doing the night we met?
SPEAKER_00Crumbling herb.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_00That's the one I completely screwed up. I've the I blanked on I tried to memorize the whole thing like the day before, and I was all torn up of whether how to sing the hook because I don't want to head words in it that I shouldn't be. You don't want to be saying. Yeah. Like like race war words.
SPEAKER_04Right.
SPEAKER_00So, anyways, I I just bombed it. But I think we did something playlistic kind of like music too. Anyways, the way that we did this, you and I, as uh I played acoustic guitar, you played keys, with the uh funky whatever kind of effect, kind of a sort of a remote.
SPEAKER_03It was called funky EP.
SPEAKER_00Funky EP.
SPEAKER_03Mm-hmm. Electric piano.
SPEAKER_00And I sing um that makes sense. I sing the I sing the the the rap.
SPEAKER_03You did, and I love that.
SPEAKER_00I don't know why that's not more popular. Like, I want to hear more people do that.
SPEAKER_03I just want to hear you do it.
SPEAKER_00I I like doing it, I enjoy doing it. I feel weird actually rapping it.
SPEAKER_03Did you feel less weird singing? Sing rapping.
SPEAKER_00When we did the next when we did the next movement.
SPEAKER_03Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_00When we did uh well we haven't done it yet, but I've been kind of messing around with I ain't mad at you for a while.
SPEAKER_03Um I got nothing but love for you.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it's got a sick piano part on it. You could sing the hook, you'd be Danny Boy. But there's so many Uncle Danny Boy? Uncle Danny Boy.
SPEAKER_03How about Danny Boy? Uncle Dan could be Uncle Danny Boy.
SPEAKER_00Man, we gotta get we gotta get Uncle Dan. Uncle Dan down here to do I ain't mad at you.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. You hear that Uncle Danny Boy?
SPEAKER_00There's so many hip hop songs that are extremely Have a lot of musicality. And there's just no reason you couldn't sing.
SPEAKER_04Sing, yeah.
SPEAKER_00And there's some folks like Bone, you know, Bone sang a lot, um, Ferrell Mach sang a little bit. You got like CeeLo Green, sort of, Nate Dog sort of. Honestly, the person who I've probably where I first got the idea to sing rap songs or hip hop songs is um Jack Johnson, Rodeo Cons. It's basically what he's doing.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00He's basically rapping.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, that's cute.
SPEAKER_00But there's so many, I mean, I don't know. There's there's uh I'm not saying like I'm the only one doing it, I'm sure that's not true. But if you know a good example of it doesn't have to be acoustic, but just a rap uh a classic rap cover with a singer on it.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Where they're singing the rap, not just a hook.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, where they're s yeah, not just a hook, they're singing the whole rap. Um there's so much potential there.
SPEAKER_03Maybe this is your niche, you finally found it.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Well, hey, if it gets somebody else to do it, or if you can find something that's I'm gonna keep we'll keep doing them. We'll keep working them in, but because I got a million of them I'd like to do.
SPEAKER_03Just have a real way about you when you do them.
SPEAKER_00I enjoy I enjoy it because I love that I love this song. I don't normally like singing, but I I feel like you don't like to sing.
SPEAKER_03I that's a real question. You don't like to sing.
SPEAKER_00I really don't. I don't dislike it. It's I feel uh I feel kind of vulnerable when I do it, although this this this this is helping me, this whole venture venture is helping me get way more comfortable with it. But I I get a lot I get a lot more personally out of playing the guitar. Like I feel like that puts me in the zone more.
SPEAKER_03All I want to do is sing.
SPEAKER_00When I'm playing when I'm just playing lead, I just or when I just get into a groove, I get there way faster than singing is like it takes me out of the groove that the guitar has me in. But singing like this keeps you in the rhythm, kind of. I'm not I didn't I didn't plan how I was gonna sing anything. So I'm kind of I'm not doing anything crazy, but I'm sort of improvising.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And that's fun for me.
SPEAKER_03You just following that chord structure that.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, so and so I'm I kind of try to play it like I maybe would play it on the guitar. Guitar I'd do a a bit more, but anyways, it's uh it's it's a good time. And and you you sang the uh the hook on it and played the keys.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. And you I didn't do a lot, but it was fine.
SPEAKER_00You learned that about what five minutes? Did you play the first time you practice it five minutes before?
SPEAKER_03Everyone who listens to it's gonna be like, yeah, clearly she spent five minutes on that.
SPEAKER_00But it sounded good. It was what it sounded grid.
SPEAKER_03Thank you. It could have been better, but this is not my ideal environment for playing an instrument. It's so hard with like all these lights shining behind the music and the keys are dark and the the keyboard stand is moving. I have a lot of excuses.
SPEAKER_00No, I'm I'm with you.
SPEAKER_03It's way better than the closet we used to film in, so I'm not saying anything bad about it.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, and we you know, if you I don't know when the last time we said this, but we take two takes. This one we just took the first one. Yeah, basically, the way it works is if we get it in one and it's like it could have a few screw-ups, whatever. Um, we don't do more than two. Right. There was one that was five because we had it some sort of just couldn't. Yeah, we were just both having a hard time and we hadn't practiced.
SPEAKER_03Remember when I made us do the girl is mine, and it was way harder than we thought it was gonna be. Oh my gosh.
SPEAKER_00That was so hard. That was such a hard song to do. Oh
Cover Ideas And Learning Songs Right
SPEAKER_00man, you've really I got I've said this a million times now, but you the key okay, two two two keys are gonna sound so stupid. If you want to do a song well, know learn the song really well. Know the song, say and two, practice the song a lot.
SPEAKER_03Hey, I think you can be a teacher.
SPEAKER_00But for real, if you I don't I know that sounds stupid, but honestly, I just started doing that. Yeah. This is the this one I've mentioned this before, one of the reasons I want to do this this podcast is because I wanted I want accountability to learn some music. Yeah, because I've just been noodling on a guitar for 20 years. So this is it's hard, but it's fun. But I so I've been reading some tidbits on like how to get good at playing guitar. And every like great guitar player is just says, practice the song that you're gonna play. Just do that. Just the whatever song you're gonna play or songs if you got a set, drill them, drill them, drill them until you can screw them up. That's it. Like basically, it's just a bunch of people saying variations of that. If you're if you're if you're a jam, if you're jamming.
SPEAKER_03This is a message for you guys. I already know this.
SPEAKER_00I know you do, but if you're jamming and you want to, you're you know, kind of doing improv and stuff, get all the landing places right. Learn what intervals work in the song, and then jam around that, but play the song. Play the play off the bass line. Play, you know. I've just never done I know it's obvious stuff, I've just never done it before.
SPEAKER_03Is there anything else you want to say about Outcast?
SPEAKER_00Well, yeah, we got uh besides our besides our it's got um it's a uh Grover Washington Jr. song called Knucklehead that they sampled.
SPEAKER_04Okay.
SPEAKER_00And you know the you know um the We Gonna Get Ya that is a sample off of Lady Marmalade.
SPEAKER_04Oh.
SPEAKER_00Where it's some part of the song where they're uh really something by 11, I don't remember the the group who did it.
SPEAKER_03But like the original Lady Marmalade.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it was like uh uh I don't know if it was the original recording, but it was a group doing that song.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_00But as far as other people covering it, nothing. There's I found one drummer kind of playing on it, but it no awards for you guys then. I can't yeah, I couldn't find anybody.
SPEAKER_03You get the award. I want you to cover it.
SPEAKER_00We do, honey.
SPEAKER_03But it really was you.
SPEAKER_00We get the nobody award.
SPEAKER_03Oh, you get the nobody award. I just want you to have the nobody award. I will gift my portion of the nobody award to you. You get the double nobody. You're double nobody. Oh, Tara. I don't know what you're doing.
SPEAKER_00Are you uh you're Pee-wee, I guess.
SPEAKER_03Uh yeah. Duh.
SPEAKER_00What's up with Joey beating her up at the end? And then being like, oh, Pee-wee.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I don't know.
SPEAKER_00Just lots of It's almost so bad it's good, but it's not bad. Yeah, I know. It's so weird. It's just distraught.
SPEAKER_03We can't talk about the wanderers anymore.
SPEAKER_00It needed to be like four hours long.
SPEAKER_03No, it didn't.
SPEAKER_00Okay. Alright. So we're talking about uh this is the part where we talk about covers. Yeah, anything else you want to say about the planet? No, I liked the I wanted to play solo stuff. I wanted to play solos on that so bad. But the words and singing them and breathing and all that stuff, like No way, it it was so tricky, and I had to edit it too because I'm reading the words with all the actual lyrics on it, and I'm just remembering, okay, what am I gonna say for the in-word? You know, well um the family earmuff words, the family earmuff words, especially. So, anyways, I I this is a good song to jam on, is what I'm getting at. It's it's it's pretty nasty. You can play all sorts of stuff on it.
SPEAKER_03One more time, what's it called for the audience? Southern playlistic Cadillac music. But it's got lots of Z and stuff in it.
SPEAKER_00So Alcast is really good at making up words.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Do they have a filibungulator song? I feel like they should.
SPEAKER_00They should have a filibungulator song. They got a song, one of my favorite Alcast songs ever is Spottyati Dope Alicious. It's the one that's got the horn on it. And it's just it's singing in in spoken word, and it's the coolest tune. I could let it go on forever, and I'd just be totally fine with it.
SPEAKER_03It'd be fine. You take it to your desert island.
SPEAKER_00Yes. Uh yeah. Yeah. That was another app we did if you wish. Check it out. If you want to cruise the Jeffries data sheet. Yes.
SPEAKER_03Alright, what's your B side?
SPEAKER_00Oh crap, I gotta get that out.
SPEAKER_03What the heck? My I I whipped one up in the last two hours.
SPEAKER_00Oh, did you?
SPEAKER_03Yep.
SPEAKER_00Well, I mean, Spotty Audi Dopealicious would definitely be a good candidate. Um that's not probably the one I'm gonna pick. What else did I put in here? I got Crumblin' herb. That's I uh that that might be my favorite song on the album.
SPEAKER_03Okay, so you're going with just outcast songs.
SPEAKER_00I'm just I'm working through it here. I'm thinking I was thinking uh Supercalifragilistic XPL Discord.
SPEAKER_04Oh my gosh! So they actually say a superfragic. I saw that.
SPEAKER_00Super caliphragic or what's it kind of like superfrag I can't remember. Yeah. Uh I it's one of those things, it's like saying the ABCs where I have to like say the I have to wrap the entire song to get the lyric. Calephragic, can you handle it?
SPEAKER_03Expiala expialistic coupe de ville.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, expialistic coupe de ville. They remind me a lot of like Camp Lowe. I know you don't okay, never mind.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, what's your B side?
SPEAKER_00So my B side is You have to pick up. I'm gonna go with uh Street Talking by Um Slick Rick.
SPEAKER_03I don't know it, but I love it.
SPEAKER_00It's uh so this is kind of a street talking by by kids, basically. Okay. Street talking's a little more adult version and it's got Big Boy on it. Oh. And it's a slick rick song, killer song. I would actually like to do it sometime.
SPEAKER_03Alright, well, I went with this is my worst of the three, but I went with Nice and Slow by Usher.
SPEAKER_00Do I know that song?
SPEAKER_03Yeah. It's seven o'clock. Oh, yeah. What made you kid uh just cars talking about because that talks a lot about Cadillacs and stuff like that, doesn't it?
SPEAKER_00Two-fat uh ladies uh in a Cadillac brome. Yeah. Thick like a two-fat girl sitting off at a brome. Their lyrics are so ridiculous, man.
SPEAKER_03And honestly, it was probably out around the same time.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_03I was in eighth grade, I think, when that My Way album came out. Well, I was in eighth grade when My Way. My Way. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_03So that's my that's my weakest for the three.
SPEAKER_00Okay. What about cover? If you could hear anybody cover this song, who would it be?
SPEAKER_03Tell us, Rob.
SPEAKER_00Well, first let me uh let me tell you who it's not.
SPEAKER_03Okay, great.
SPEAKER_00I thought I thought CeeLo Green and uh CeeLo Green in the front, because he he's actually on this album um with Goody Mob doing what I'm doing, singing the lyrics all the way through. With have you ever heard Tom Mish? Dan Dan Steve's brother, Tor's brother, told me about it. I was listening to him cool with like him. He's kind of got like a real funky guitar playing. Okay. Or Nigel Hall or Lettuce or my Dirty Dozen Brass Band that could flow in like Spotty Eye Devilish or something like that. But I think I'm gonna go with postmodern jukebox, and this is what they have a version of something because what I'm about to propose might be the answer to what I was talking about before.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_00I want postmodern jukebox to have like a troupe that they just do hip-hop stuff.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And they do like recreated songs with a killer singer singing singable hip-hop songs.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Are you gonna send that into Bradley? I'm sure his name Bradley.
SPEAKER_00I'd be like every time I've it entered candy and video game ideas, the companies are like, that's a great idea, but we don't take unsolicited advice. He never even read my idea for candy shell candy bars.
unknownCandy shell candy bars.
SPEAKER_03Like a giant um Cadbury mini egg.
SPEAKER_00Or donuts that have multicolored sprinkles on both sides.
SPEAKER_03Ugh. Well, you think you know why they can't do that?
SPEAKER_00Because it's a mess?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, they would get everywhere.
unknownI don't care.
SPEAKER_00So do wings.
SPEAKER_03Those are like contained.
SPEAKER_00Wings with sprinkles.
SPEAKER_03Sprinkle wings. Alright, well, mine was Marcus King.
SPEAKER_00Winkles.
SPEAKER_03And the Marcus King band.
SPEAKER_00Nice. You know, so is that why you listen to all the Marcus King earlier?
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Because I just don't I just I feel like you have such I don't feel like this. I know that you have a deep burn well spring of musicians to draw from when you're coming up with covers. And I'm like, I just have like the same ten people that I'm like, oh, I want to hear Tyler Childers do this, or I want to hear CR Farrell.
SPEAKER_00It's like it's what you want to hear.
SPEAKER_03So I was like, I I was like, well, it would be kind of a cool blues. That hook is because it's in a minor key, but it also has that sax that plays the blues on there. So I was like, I think Marcus King could do this, and he could get his hot wife to stand next to him.
SPEAKER_00I was listening to this week, too.
SPEAKER_03Were you?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, he's he has but I think he's been in our covers before. I know I've said him before at some point, but no, he he'd he do great. And um the sax on this song.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Sorry, I couldn't even c begin to catch up with that.
SPEAKER_00Oh, the other song that I thought said it would be cool if we did was Streets of New York by Cool G Rap.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_00And they they got a sax on that. I swear. I I I tried to see if it was the same sax player, but anyways. Um soundtrack. Soundtrack.
SPEAKER_03Mine's more I'll I'll go with mine if you want to hear it. It's it could be a cover too. But I was just thinking, let's go full circle and get those pimp dads from the wanderers to do this song.
SPEAKER_00Oh, they're in the movie.
SPEAKER_03In the movie.
SPEAKER_00Oh.
SPEAKER_03Like how they had that random doo-wop car The Wanderers did, but now it's the Pimp Dads from uh the Dell Bombers.
SPEAKER_00Now that would be an anachronism. But it would be fantastic.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, wouldn't it? Fantastic. They just all turn around with their long coats on and their top hats, and they just start singing and rapping that song.
SPEAKER_00I'd I'm I'm in.
SPEAKER_03Okay. What's your soundtrack?
SPEAKER_00Uh, pretty on the nose, but I'm gonna go with hustle and flow.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_00Do you ever see that?
SPEAKER_03No.
SPEAKER_00Do you know what it is?
SPEAKER_03No.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_03You can say what it is.
SPEAKER_00It's a song about a dude trying to get into it's like southern hip hop, and he's trying to get into it. Yeah, he's trying to build a pair.
SPEAKER_02You know what's hot out here for us.
SPEAKER_00That's from Hustle and Flow.
SPEAKER_03And is that based on a true story?
SPEAKER_00I don't know. Ludacris is in it. My it's not my Luda. I I don't love that music. I don't like the it's kind of like the dawn of trap rap, sorta. Like the the rap the so-called mumble rap today. You know, it's not my favorite. That's an understatement. Um some of it, it's not all bad, but whatever. Um I think this song would be great in it because that sort of paved the way for folks like the protagonist. I can't remember Terrence. Um, I can't remember his character, but it'd be a nice there's a lot of songs on that on that album I did not like, and I would love liked to hear I would have liked to have heard some of the more roots kind of southern hip-hop stuff like Yeah. You know, Scarface. I like the root and the well roots are from Philly.
SPEAKER_03Roots like their beginnings, the start.
SPEAKER_00Yes.
SPEAKER_03Gotcha. From once they grew. Awesome.
