Then I click, got it.It's all you men. Why don't you
light this candle? Sure, let'sgo. Hey, what's up everybody?
It is the play Pants Podcast.Wow, a couple of weeks in a
row. Here. I believe thisis podcast eighty six. I am having
every possible meltdown of equipment that somebodycould possibly have, but still piecing it

(00:27):
together. Baby. If you're watchingthis on our YouTube channel, Playpants Pod,
you see that time in a littlebit different position over here, and
things look a little different. I'musing my laptop. It's all good.
We'll get it done. We'll getit done. We did want to talk
a little food Fighters. We've gota brand new food Fighters song dropped on
us this morning, and I justwent into complete like freak out mode and

(00:52):
emailing our my radio wizard, like, dude, we gotta get this on
the air, Dude, we gottaget this on the air. So we
did play it this morning, sowe'll talk about that. Food Fighters got
a kind of a thing they're doingonline on Sunday, which could be very
interesting. When this podcast debuts,it will be Thursday May eighteenth, six
years to the date of the passingof Chris Cornell. So we can touch

(01:15):
upon that a little bit. I'vegot some emails I want to read and
Melissa, gee, thank you.She sent in one of the emails that
I am going to share with you, and she's the reason we'll be doing
the top five favorite Tom Hanks movies. Hello, Jason Guinty, dude,
hell tall are you am? Isix ft tall? Why do I look

(01:37):
bigger? You're six six flat.I'm like five nine. And you know
what, You've always have been damnedtall er, just just a little bit
taller than me. So we're gettingset up because Rod's in his new location
in a corner somewhere back. He'sbacked into the corner like he's being chased
by a bear or something. Andyou know, I set my chair at
the same height every week, andI you know, I got it set

(01:57):
up. It's locked as though Iwalk in hit some buttons and where we
go every week, right a littlebehind the scenes. So I'm sitting here
in my chair and like, Rod'sheads way up here, and I'm like,
I cannot be shorter than you.I cannot do it. You are
shorter than me. Oh, Imean you can be, and yeah you
are, yeah, but I don'twant to appear. You know, it's
the whole A. Hey, we'rebugging equals here. Let's go. Let's

(02:19):
go, Rod. I got acouple things too, I'm gonna throw around.
Yeah. I had an odd conversationwith an old friend of mine and
he's got a bit of an issuethat wants to get some bro advice.
And I thought, well, Ihappen to know a pretty decent bro,
and I thought you could. Wecould shoot the bat, you can run
by, you can run any brostuff past me. I thought this would

(02:39):
be a good one for the table, for the room. I will not
be done. I will not bedropping any names. And to protect the
weird. Uh so yeah, we'llget into that as well. So you
want to start with the emails.We should have talked about this beforehand.
Um, well, okay, WellI will start with an email, which
this one came in from listener Lee. Um, what up, brother Rod.

(03:00):
I was just mowing the yard listeningto y'all's plate Pants podcast, and
I think somebody farted during the AerosmithTop five. That was a couple of
weeks ago. I wouldn't remember now, though I'm not saying that I never
farted on the podcast, but Idon't think I ever farted where it would

(03:23):
be picked up by the microphone,he says. Aerosmith Top five, twenty
one minutes, thirteen seconds in.He gave us the time stamp when he
heard what he thinks, somebody bustedass on this podcast? What type of
operation are y'all running over there?Ha ha? Love the pod. My

(03:45):
suggestion for a top five, I'msorry, I'm like looking on the other
side of the room, all right, would be Oh. My suggestion for
a top five would be songs withcar sounds or more sounds in them,
or just songs about cars. I'vegot a view in mind that would be
in my top five. For instance, Kickstart My Heart Motley Crue would be

(04:10):
in the top five for sure,just for the intro. Every time I
hear a song, every time Ihear that song childhood memories going to the
Supercross and the Astrodome, well,they would play that song a few times
at those events. Would love tohear what you all would come up with.
I definitely found new music because ofy'all. I thank both of you
all. Y'all. There's a lotof y'all's in there. Did we do,

(04:33):
didn't we I think I don't thinkI wanted to be painted in the
corner much like I am now.I don't think I wanted to do just
cars. Didn't we do a vehiclelist? I think we did a car
list, but I don't think wedid songs about it. I like the
song Angle, that's nothing we mightwant to throw in there for next time.
Well we didn't do. Now hangout a second. He's kind of
talking about something very specific. Ifyou think about Kickstart My Heart, or

(04:56):
think about Bad Motor Scooter, MotorScooter? Would Montrose think about songs that
actually have car sounds in them?But I'm pretty sure we did a top
I mean, do we need todo We need to get Jordan Welch and
the Machine in on this. Yeah, it seems like Panama would have been
a song about cars and driving fromVan Halen. You know Bad Motor Scooter.

(05:17):
Yeah, I'm sure I did,because I love the Queen song I'm
in Love with My Car. Thereyou go. I feel like we've had
that discussion before, either here orsomewhere else. And Bad Motor Scooter.
I'm I'm sure of it because Ijust said songs vehicle songs. I'm pretty
I'm almost positive we did a topfive on vehicle songs. We could easily
probably look it up, but wewon't. I can't believe we just blew
by the who fired on the podcastthing so far. Oh yeah, by

(05:40):
the way, he says that somebodyhe timestamped it for us as well,
So if somebody wants to go backand check that podcast out, it was
just a couple of weeks ago.Now I've got a leather chair. I
look say. There have been timesif you go back and don't because it'll
be a waste your time, whereI will just starting in the middle of
a sentence when Rod is talking,and it's not because of what you said

(06:04):
is enlightening or funny. It's becauseI shipped my pants in the middle of
your sentence and maybe it got hurt. So there have been an instances where
this sort of situation has happened,but no one's ever caught it. I'm
pretty sure I didn't do it atthat time, so I'm not claiming that
timestamp. But if you go backin time, if you see me laugh

(06:24):
at my ass off for no apparentreason, it's because I just dropped ass.
Okay, So I've done it.I like the suggestions. Here's another
one, Nolan, who is listeningto the podcast. Since you're looking for
podcast topics, I guess I mentionedit on the air this week. Keep
it fresh, since your daughter Londonjust gave herself a fresh new haircut.

(06:46):
More on that in a second,l Every one of my six kids have
done the same thing, so don'tworry. Topic could be which rock band
or artists have the best iconic hairstyles. Mine would have to be zz Top.
Just a little food for thought,Nolan the giant blaylock. Um,

(07:09):
that's an interesting one. I gottabe honest, you know, I think
of a flock of seagulls. Dude. Yeah, I mean iconic hair.
I mean the fact that you didn'tbring up Harry Styles first. I mean,
who's got a better hair, dudethan Harry Styles? Right now?
You know what, I will saythis out loud as a grown ass man.
I bet it smells good. Ohyou know it does? You know

(07:30):
it does? It's He probably justrubs berries in it too. He probably
doesn't even use like, he wouldn'tuse traditional shampoo like you or I like,
like we use shampoo, but youknow he uses He probably just runs
herbs and berries. It's it's watermelonjuice. I'm pretty sure it's uh yeah.
I mean it's hard to beat LennyKravitz when he's got those full dreads.

(07:51):
It's kind of hard to beat LennyKravitz. That's iconic. Um,
It's easier to go and look backat the hair metal days. Well,
that was easy because they all it'sthe same. You think of Cinderella,
you know what I mean, you'repoison, just tease. David Coverdale had
like one of the best lion manesof all time. And I mean,

(08:13):
if you go back and if youlook at White Snake, and if you
look at Rudy Sarzo and when hehad John Sikes in the band, that
probably was the best looking group ofhair. Yeah, of any of the
bands. I distinctly remember the bassplayer for Cinderella had an awesome palm tree
right in the front and then justlong, straight down blonde hair. Dude.

(08:39):
I remember these things because I wasgoing bald, so I would I
would notice, like, damn,what can I have that? Yeah,
well, you know, shit happens, right, But yeah, No,
Coverdale always had a great wig.You know, Sammy Hagar's wig was always
spectacular, you know, massive,and he never really teased it up.
It was just his fucking crazy asshair. You know, I just spent
a lot of time on it.That son of a bitch still has a

(09:01):
ton of hair. I mean,it's it is crazy how much Sammy is
on social media unless I mean,I get it. I mean I follow
his stuff. Are you Are youseeing any of this weird David Lee Roth
stuff that he's putting out right now? No, No, I'm pretty glad.
I'm not. Dude, it's weird. It's it's a one camera shot.

(09:22):
Okay. It's kind of like howBritney's videos are weird, you know,
Britney's instagrams with a weird jerky dancemoves and stuff. Dude, get
her some more help, So DiamondDave must have a stage at his house
and he's just kind of lip syncingand gyrating and dancing and sometimes he'll bring

(09:46):
out a sword and he's marching tosongs and it's just Dave being Dave.
It's really fucking weird. Once youwatch and stop one video, you'll start
getting him in your feed and you'llsee and you're that means you're probably not
fin following David ly Roth on andit's probably it's Facebook. He's old,
but go check it out. Imean, you know it's David Lee Roth.

(10:11):
He's a He's David Lee Roth.I mean there's only one. There's
absolutely only one. But I meanhe had a great Maine back in the
day. He did have a badI just saw another old seventies picture in
Peak van Halen and it's like theyjust were fucking awesome rock stars. Look,
they had to look the sound.They they were the ones who really
put it all together, you knowwhat I mean, Like they just went,

(10:33):
uh yeah, and then being fuckinghandsome helps wouldn't know, but you
know what I mean, Like itreally helps a lot for those guys.
I mean, unbelievable their hair,you know, other whole thing. Back
in the late seventies, those pictureswere so fucking cool man. Anyway,
Um, all right, well,I like I like that, Thank you,
I like that. And then MelissaGulsby last email, brother Rod,

(10:54):
I suggested a few podcasts back uhtop Tom Hanks Top five, Robin Williams
Movies, What are your thoughts?Both are great actors and both have made
great movies. Love Melissa g Sothat was the one that kind of caught
your eye and you immediately said,oh oh, oh man, Tom Hanks,

(11:16):
So you wanted to do that.So I'm all, I'm down for
talking some Tom Hanks movies today.Yeah, I mean, actually, I
would love to do Robin Williams too. But I know that Hanks just busted
out of a book that he wrote, So I'm like, well, he's
kind of in the news. Whynot we hit a little bit more of
a hotter topic right now. ButI do want to do the Robin Williams
in the near future as well.Two great ideas. Let me ask you
this something that recently had come upthat we were talking about. Would you

(11:43):
find the person weird if they wentout of the way to say that they
didn't like Tom Hanks, wouldn't itbe their problem? Yeah? Anything else?
Yeah, that's a red flag ifsomebody told you that they don't like
Tom Hanks, Like, I don'tlike that person, right, I mean

(12:05):
it's I mean, you might notlike us a couple of movies he's been
in, or maybe he comes offas little cocky sometimes in interviews because he's
just being at this point, hecould do whatever the fuck he wants.
You know, there's a clip ofhim a few years ago about something about
someone asked him like, what doyou do with your oscars? Because he's
got two of them, right,he says, well, the first one
really meant a lot, it wasgreat, and then he says the second

(12:26):
one, I literally just duct tapedit as a hood ornament to my Mercedes
or whatever. That was kind ofthe running that the joke. He's funny,
that's not hysterical, man's It wasTom Hanks's delivery. So it wasn't
cocky at all. But it wasfunny. But I could see where sensitive
people will get upset about that.No, you're right, if someone said
I don't like Tom Hanks, I'dbe like, what do you like?
Then there's only a couple of people, and the ones off the top of

(12:50):
my head because Tom Hanks was oneof them. You don't have to like
her music, but who doesn't likeDolly Parton? And then the other one,
and then it just then it hitme, like Betty White, you
tell me that is a massive redflag. It's like telling you don't like
puppies. You know, it's justa red flag, Like you're a weirdo.

(13:11):
It's that's you. That's your problemif you don't like Tom Hanks or
you know right now, I meanthe last few years Kiano Reeves too.
I mean, he's like this awesomedude, donates money and time and he
just makes these awesome movies and it'slike, how do you not like that
guy? Do? Really? Whatdo you think about it? Yeah?
I do? Like I do likethe whole the internet buzz for for Keanu

(13:33):
Reeves. Man, he is justan awesome dude. He is an awesome
dude. Great, and I thinkthere's a lot of celebrities that do a
lot of good things and they don'talways demand the camera beyond them when they're
doing it and passing out a bottleof water to somebody that just you know,
had their house ruined in the hurricane. But Keanu Reeves really never ever,
ever. I mean, can youimagine just because we've caught him doing

(13:56):
such really uh like amazing gestures andacts of kindness, can you imagine what
we don't know because he doesn't activelyput the stuff out there on social media.
I mean, there's some celebrities atevery time they do anything, it's
like, you know, they bringtheir own camera crew with them, right
right, right right, Yeah,But I didn't do that. If somebody
said, you know, I don'tlike Tom Hanks, you're right, that

(14:18):
would be like, what do youlike then? And how many people are
buried in your backyard? You knowwhat I mean, because that would be
a little bit disturbing. I seewhat you're saying there. Rab The Food
Fighters song came down today, thenew one. It came out of nowhere
and the first one, Rescued orrescue me I should know, yeah,

(14:39):
Rescued came out and we were likewhat it was. I love the song.
We're playing it a million times.It's number one on the Alt charts,
the Active rock charts, so it'sobviously done what it was supposed to
do and it's a good song.Well then today another new song is released
and it is called under You,and it's fucking great as well. It's

(15:01):
better, Yeah, it is better. It's better. So when the song
came down, I knew that itwas coming out today because I just saw
it on social media yesterday said hey, we got a new song coming out.
So I did. I put apreview on the music blog page yesterday
I said, hey, food Fighterhas got a new song. I just
assumed that, you know, mybig massive iHeartRadio. I just figured they'd

(15:24):
be on it. No, no, no, not on it. So
the song came out about seven fortyseven forty five, and I'm like,
oh, geez, it doesn't havethree thousand views yet. Okay, by
the time I get over to YouTubeand it was actually before so it was

(15:46):
about seven thirty five, and Ijust said, wow, I hope there's
no swearing in this. And I'mnot supposed to do this. I am
not supposed to go with live audiooff of my laptop. Nope. I
had not previewed this song. Ihad not done anything. I said,
hey, you guys want to hearthe new food writer song. And I

(16:08):
played it and I potted it upon the board from my laptop, and
I'm just praying that there's no cussingin it, right, and from that
little clip, and of course I'mreally really listening, right and I never
listened to the lyrics, but I'mreally listening to see if he swears in
that minute. I played it forabout a minute and a half right there.
I declared, it's better. Thisis a superior song than what he

(16:33):
has already given us. And thenwhen you start dissecting, because I was
listening to the lyrics, which Inever do, I'm like, holy shit,
Yeah, it's heavy, heavy.This is an absolute open letter to
Taylor Hawkins, which you know,I got some thoughts on that as well.
But you know, it's there's somesongs that make you dig and you

(16:57):
wonder, Oh, I wonder ifthat's a about that, and if that's
about that. No, it's justI wish you were here and we were
smoking cigarettes together. I mean,it's just I need to be hit over
the head. And that's exactly whatI was. I was hit over the
head. So by eight twenty fortyminutes later, we got our ship together.

(17:18):
And then I ended up playing iton the air this morning and took
phone calls and took all the emailsand everything, and just overwhelming. Dude.
People were bawling. Yep, theysaid, Rod, I'm typing this
and I'm crying. Yeah, it'sawesome. It's a great song. The
lyrics are absolutely amazing. If youif you watched the lyric video, it's
great. It's funny because usually whenyou have a band of this caliber and

(17:42):
you know how this goes they aregoing to the record that it was going
to push it out to the programdirectors like the radio Wizard and me and
the other pets around the country andgo, hey, here's brand new Food
Fights. Like the first single cameout and it's like holy shit, and
we scrambled as fast as we couldget it and put it on the air.
No problem. This came out.We didn't really get much of a
heads up. I didn't get anythingfrom the label. They didn't say,

(18:03):
hey, we're gonna have another newsong tomorrow. I think it was just
on their institute's yeah, and thenthe YouTube was where they released the whole
song, right correct, But yesterdayon Instagram they said hey, we got
something new coming out tomorrow. Soand that was it. I was surprised
that it wasn't more well that's whatI'm worries and everything. It just it

(18:25):
was quite quiet. So what I'mkind of getting two here is that like
then at so yeah, same thingwith me. I listened to it with
my son on the way to school. I'm like, dude, we have
bright new Food Fighter checked the shitout and he's like he's like, whoa,
that's really good. That is reallygood. He goes, oh,
those lyrics are heavy, man.I like, yeah, it's about Taylor
obviously, right. So then Iget this was at like we all we

(18:48):
all heard it off of YouTube atlike seven forty in the morning or whatever.
It was okay, great. Atnine forty am. This is two
hours later, I get an emailfrom the record label, as did all
the pds at the same time,at nine forty hey and Cash amnists that
the Food Fighters have announced a newsingle. It's out now and it's online.

(19:10):
I emailed back, Hey, thisis awesome any because you know,
we're supposed to only be playing likereally high quality dot wave forms on the
air. You know, MP threeis no bullshit, right, I said,
Hey, this is great. Yousend me all the links to all
this shit, and you didn't sendme a wave file that I can download
so you can play it on theair. Can you maybe do that?

(19:30):
This is me going back and forthwith the label and they're like, yep,
stand by, And then I'm likeI'm like, hey, I just
want to spend it a few timesbecause here's what behind the scenes. Let's
go back into the weeds a littlebit, go behind the curtain a little
bit. You see the first singleis out there. It's number one.
But now what they want to donow that once you get a song to

(19:51):
number one, you want it tostay number one for multiple weeks, so
you can that's a big selling pointdown the road. Right, So they
wanted this thing to send it numberone for ten weeks. Sure, whatever
they want to do. Right.So what happens is because this new song
has been played for weeks, nowthey release a new one. They're afraid
all the radio program directors are gonnapull that one down and start playing this
other one because you've only got somuch room on the air for so many

(20:12):
Food Fighters songs. Right, SoI said, hey, I appreciate you
sending me the high quality link.I just want to play it a few
times because radio needs to do thesetypes of things still, which read between
the lines, hey, what thefuck why didn't you send this ship to
us last night? Right? LikeI'm arguing, well, that's the Food

(20:34):
Fighters. They wouldn't have allowed thatexactly, but but hey, why not
send it out so I can playit on the air, you know what
I mean? Like, yeah,and this is why I fought a little
bit. It's because you know,we've had this conversation. You know,
radio a dying dinosaur on the vine. Well, these are those little hills
that we can still fight on.That's why I fought back a little bit,
like, hey, hey, wecan do more for you than your

(20:57):
little internet at this point, rightand still bang shit, we can still
get it out there. And that'swhere I went and fall a little bit
on this hill for what we talkabout multiple times on these episodes, you
know. Yeah, which, bythe way, radio is not dying.
It's doing quite well. Yeah.I was obnoxious with my boss this morning.
I'm like, bro, work itout, let's go. What are

(21:18):
we doing? You know? AndI knew because something fucked up with Metallica
with them releasing the Metallica and somehowit didn't get out to radio the way
that it was supposed to, andI ended up playing luxA Turna off my
laptop on the air for the firstspin. I'm not I wasn't waiting.

(21:42):
I said this, We listened toit. It was a clean and I
said, listen, we gotta go, we gotta go, we gotta go.
Now it's different because you know,I'm excited and I'm like playing it
up with everybody, and you know, people know that I'm excited about a
new food Fighter song. There's notanother radio station in the market that's going
to beat me to it, right, That's what it used to be like

(22:03):
back in the day. But Istill have that we gotta get this on
the air, though. We've gotto get it on and let people hear
it because I think it's special.I really radio is magic. And if
you go back to when you andI were young and you heard a brand
new song on the radio, andif you can remember hearing songs for the
first time, I still want tocreate that. No other radio station in

(22:27):
this market is going to beat meto it, but YouTube is going to
beat me every time because food Fightersput it on their own YouTube channel.
And that's great, and I'm surepeople still get excited about listening to its
ship on the computer. But Istill I want to keep the magic while
while I'm on Watch in the morningfrom six to ten, I'm still trying

(22:49):
to create that magic, the thingthat got me excited when I was not
only a kid, but like ontowhen I was older and hearing these things
and these announcements and songs and concertannouncements. That's me genuinely excited about that
stuff because I used to be excitedabout hearing them, right, So that's

(23:10):
why I get crazy, like youwere, we gotta get this on the
air. I don't want somebody togo fucking listen to it on YouTube.
Well, then we want to shareit. I want to hear it with
them for the first time. Iwant you to pick up the phone.
I want you to call me becauseI am live in the studio. I
want to talk about it. Whatdid you think of that's line, What

(23:32):
did you think of the song?Did you like it? Did you hate
it? I want That's so importantto me to do that while I can
while I'm live on the air forthose four hours, right, And it's
important to radio in general. Like, like, there was another band that
I did some stuff for and Idid all this prep work with them,
and I'm like, okay, coolman, So you know, give me

(23:52):
the song. I'll world premiere it, right. I'm like, you know,
hey, we're cool with that,right, Like I'll play it first
and everyone else to get it.The world will get it. All this
stuff because of all the prep workwe were doing with the band for the
launch of the song, and saidno, no, we're gonna deal with
YouTube, So I think there's probablylike I would sit there and go in
my immediately thinking like, hey,why aren't we going as a radio collective

(24:15):
group? Right? iHeart Odyssey,Cumulus, those are the three bigs and
all go hey, record labels,how about you give us an hour,
Give us an hour, send usthese big songs, Give us one hour
to all get our ship together,get it all on the air, let
her do our thing, and thenrelease it to the worldwide web. Help
radio still remain a little bit relevantwith some of these acts, you know,

(24:37):
But there's probably so much money inall these other contracts with as I'm
thinking this in real time, withYouTube, and then you your channels that
you want to have it first,so people do dive on your YouTube channel.
Maybe that's what that's the problem,probably, right am I thinking that?
Right? You are thinking that,right? They want they want the
hits, They want the hits ontheir personal channels. It's right, which

(24:59):
they would still get they would correctthem, correct, but that radio has
to come together with the labels andgo, guys, come on, give
us an one hour, one fuckinghour. So this Sunday, two o'clock
Central time, YEP, and Iknow you've got the u r L over
there. The food Fighters are goingto do something online and it's I don't

(25:22):
know much about it. It lookslike it's a little behind the scenes as
they are maybe rehearsing as they're gettingready to go on this tour. I
think the title of it kind ofalludes to like getting ready to go on
tour. And I think this iswhere we're going to find out who the
drummer is. Yeah, I thinkso. I mean, how do you

(25:45):
not at this point they're gonna berehearsing. It's it's it's recordings of them
rehearsing for this upcoming tour. Ifyou surprises along the way, they say,
that's really what it is. R. It's going to be on a
Sunday, Uh eight p I'm sorry, Sunday, May twenty first. It's
two o'clock Central time. Yeah,two o'clock Central time. Uh. The

(26:07):
U R L is Uh Foo Fightersdot Veeps v e EPs dot com.
Up with the link up here whenwe post it. Um, Yeah,
Foo Fighters dot veeps dot com.Um. I think it's gonna be cool
shit and you I think this iswhere we find out about the drummer situation,
whatever it may be, I Idoubling down on all of my comments

(26:33):
earlier. And this is where youcan, you know, you take chances.
But I think I'm doubling down oneverything that I've already said after listening
to under You today and see andlistening to Dave and looking at those lyrics
and hearing Dave pouring his his heartout and sharing his feelings with us.

(26:56):
No fucking way is some new guygonna play the drums on that song.
It's no way. Now. Davecan't do it live, and he's going
and moving forward. He will,he will get a drummer, take him
on the road, obviously, andthen okay, then he's going to allow

(27:17):
him to do the stuff in thestudio. I think no fucking way is
something not even Josh Freeze. He'snot playing on this album. This is
Dave's tribute to Taylor. Yeah.So what it used to be is Dave
was the drummer on that first album, and he was actually the drummer on
the second album. Then Taylor becamethe touring drummer and then officially joins the

(27:41):
band, and then Taylor does allthe drums going forward. Now Taylor has
talked talked about this back in theday. He's like, damn, I'm
in a band with Dave Grohli's oneof the all time great drummers. I'm
trying to make sure that I dothings that he likes, and you know,
and then they start working together andyou know, and Taylor is just
was this amazing rummer two. Ithink a complete role reversal is happening.

(28:04):
And all my chips are on this. Dave Grohl is the drummer on this
album. There's no doubt in mymind. Yeah. Yeah, and he's
doing things now. I think Taylorwould have done this on this song,
complete fucking mind flip. Yeah.I mean listen, I will be the
first person I say, okay,man, Damn, I got that one

(28:25):
wrong. There's no way Dave's allowingsomebody to play on this personal an album.
No, and I've heard that Daveplayed all the drums on the album.
But to your point about and whichwould be great to have the opportunity
to interview Dave Grohl, which isgonna be very hard to do because he
is not gonna want to spend alot of time talking to a bunch of
mooks. About this situation over andover again. But when you hang out

(28:48):
with people, right, you startto act like those people, you start
to catch on the phraseology of thetwo or like us. You know,
people hang with us there like,well, you fucking guys have your own
language when you talk to each other, you know what I mean, Like,
there's shit like that, and youdo get that, and you pick
up that, and I'm sure shit, and I'm sure how do we know
we're not flies on the wall?Which we were, But like you know,

(29:12):
Dave was like, fuck, dude, that's that's a cool part.
I never thought of that, youknow what I mean? Like you do.
That doesn't matter how good you areat anything, You're always going to
learn new shit. So maybe maybeit was a subconscious thing that would be
That would be the question to askDave, birl. That would be a
great fucking question to ask him tosee what his response would be. As
I'm fit, you know, sittingaround and I'm thinking about this and I'm

(29:33):
you know, I'm exhausting all ofthis, I realize it gets, you
know, I start getting to thatrock and roll Hall of Fame thing.
Does anybody else? Does anybody carewho's playing the drums on the new Food
Fighter album. I mean, there'sgot to be just a little bit of
interest, right, I mean,we're not talking about something that nobody's interested
in. And that's that's my biggestfear. Now people are interested, I'm

(29:56):
interested. I'm pretty sure he didall the drums on this album. I
how would you let anyone? Imean, it's Dave's band anyway, you
know him? Yeah, And itonly makes sense, like, how do
you have Yeah, Hey, hey, Bob, come on in. You
know nah, I don't feel likeI think you're right. I think this
is this is him tributing and kindof putting all together in honor of Taylor.

(30:19):
One other thing, this is justan observation. Everybody was dissecting all
of those early Food Fighter songs andthey're waiting for Dave to do some kind
of a tribute. And I rememberhearing my hero for the first time and
we all just assumed, Okay,there it is. He's finally doing a

(30:40):
song about Kurt. And he neverreally did. He never shared that with
us, coming in so raw afterNirvana, he didn't just sit around and
pour his heart out about his friendthat passed away. He just didn't do

(31:00):
it now. He's a different guy. We've all we're all different from when
we were twenty five years old andnow we're you know, we're all the
same age. So you know,Dave's fifty three and hearing this song today
and you could even hear in Rescue, you can hear lines like, man,
you can tell he's he's thinking aboutTaylor. This song today is just

(31:22):
all about it. It's an absolutetribute to Taylor. He did not do
that early in his career, andhe flat out said my hero. Sorry
man, it's it's not just aboutone person. So you know, if
you want to think it's about Kurt, that's fine, But yeah, he
just didn't sit around and wallow aboutyou know, Kurt Cobain. He did
know, but did the same relationsdoing here. Look at how quickly he's

(31:45):
turn it around an album. It'sfunny. I had the same conversation with
my fourteen year old son today inthe car. He's a huge Food Fighters
fans, right. Uh. Youknow, we went to LA and we
saw the tribute thing back in Septemberand we were talking about it. I
said, I said, man,I said, this is a tough thing.
I said, because there's a lotof And I don't know how you

(32:05):
blocked this out as an artist either, because I said, look, I
would imagine because we said the samething. I said, the first song,
I like, this one's better.You've got two great songs right now
on a new album, which doesn'thappen very often, this late in your
career, I said. But Isaid, if you look at any great
art, it's either the first thingyou produce, your first album, or

(32:27):
some horrible shit happens and then you'vegot a new muse and you look.
Man, that's why they call ita tortured artist. You know, great
art doesn't come from sitting around lookingat fucking rainbows. Usually it usually does
not. It comes from fucking awfulthings that happened. And this is an
artist's response. I told my son. I said, dude, I said,

(32:47):
but this is a hard thing because, ay, you're the food fighters.
You can't get all weepy and cryon a whole fucking album. You
know, you gotta have some bangers, you gotta have some fun shit.
And there, I would think,So there's a fine line you have to
walk. You know, there's gottabe adults in the room who are gonna
be like, you know, Dave, this is not an Alison Chain's record.
This is not Mad Season, youknow what I mean? Like yeah,

(33:08):
like yeah, the Food Fighters.You know, nobody would ever,
you know, there's not a wholelot of Mopi Food Fighter songs, no,
none, And these aren't either.These two songs we haven't heard the
man. These are great. Ilove them both. Yeah, it was
just an interesting conversation about like,wow, where do you go? How
do you how do you handle this? And obviously they figured it out so

(33:29):
far these two songs. No problemshere. I'm I'm I'm want the vinyl
that offers it in black record anda white record. Looks cool. That's
cool. Yeah. So who isyour money on being the drummer when the
Food Fighters go out on the road. My money, My money's still on

(33:50):
the Queen's kid. Uh Um,the guy these drums for the darkness right
now? And what tell's his name? Rufus Taylor? Still there? I
mean he does look a little toomuch like Taylor. It's a little weird,
the Taylor connection. The thing isthe whole thing's bizarre. Um,
why not that's I'm still there?It could be anybody. I don't have

(34:13):
any insight. I really don't.I know, you're you're You're still what
Josh Freeze? Right, I'm stillI'm still rooting for Josh Freeze. Um
I am. I just think hewould be such an awesome addition to that
band. Yeah, there would be. And again, I listen the Taylor

(34:34):
Hawkins, how much he loved Queenand how much he worshiped Roger Taylor,
and then you've got you know,the kid, his son looks like Taylor
and yeah, it's just Taylor's everywhere. It's yeah, and I get all
that, and nothing's gonna make meupset. I don't care. I mean,
who's gonna question anything that Dave anydecision that Dave role makes. At
this point, you know, he'smade pretty good decisions, so he's gonna

(35:00):
the right decision for them. ButI think the world needs to know who
Josh Freeze is. He's such anawesome drummer. I don't know if anybody
followed the homework assignment of going backand watching A Perfect Circle's Judith video good
it still holds up. So JoeI watched it afterwards, I'm like,

(35:20):
holy shit, is this a greatsong? Is it good? I mean
everybody's great in that video pass onbass like like we talked about because that
was that was in my mother thatwas on my mother list. But I
said go back and just watched thedrummer and just tell me that that guy
should not be behind Dave Grohl.Oh yeah yeah. And in the tribute
shows, he was all over theplace. He was popping up throughout both

(35:44):
nights, the one over in Londonand the one in la he kept getting
up, coming down, back up. Here's Josh Bam bam. So he
played as he was like the ultimateutility guy. Yeah, and he could
play anything anywhere, anytime. He'samazing. He's absolutely spectacular. So we
don't find out. I would saythis Sunday special, two o'clock Central again
food Fighters dot veeps dot com.It's called food Fighters preparing music for concerts.

(36:08):
I think it's gonna be fun.I hope it. All I know
is I know what I'm doing Sundaynow. I'm cranking the ship out of
that and chilling back and watch it. Yes, Sunday at two o'clock.
Man, it's gonna be interesting.Do they just come right out and say,
wammo, look who's in the band. Right. You see this guy,
he's playing the drums. Now,let's move on like it almost has
to go quick like that, youknow what I mean, like just fucking

(36:29):
everyone in the world, especially thesetwo dopes. I've been making a deal
about this for a year, youknow. Yeah, And uh, there's
a reason they're holding back because theyknew this would a little bit of excitement.
I really think it is. Theycould have just came out and say,
here's the drummers. Who cares?Okay, well, okay, that's
nice. I feel like they've donethis on purpose a little bit, and
there's gotta be a reason. Ihope they explain it. Yeah, I

(36:52):
don't know, or are they outthere right now on this on fucking Hollywood
Boulevard going hey, anybody know howto play the drums? I mean,
does it come down to that?And they've not made a decision I do.
Holy shit, dude, could youimagine? No? I can't.
It would be too much, wecan't, too hard to do. I'd
have to get on the treadmill.The cardio for a food show. One

(37:15):
song, dude, the cardio fora food fighter show. You're right?
One song I'm dying okay song?And they'll be like, all right,
we're gonna need another guy one song. I mean, like, give me.
It's why it's why Taylor looks soripped because he just fucking two and
a half hours of that. We'retalking, Dame, I'm not ready for

(37:37):
the next song yet. How aboutwe just do an acoustic set with the
drums. Wait, God help me, oxygen. Yeah, listen, we're
gonna take a short little break.Um, we're gonna do Tom Hanks.
We're gonna do our favorite Tom Hankssongs before the break. Let me just
throw this off the movies. Let'sdo a little let's do a little guy
talk. We gotta I got athing from a buddy. Oh yeah,
yeah, I forgot you got thisthing? This is we need some bro

(37:59):
have we gotta gather. It's like, uh, you know Ted Lasso brings
in what is it the Hounds whenall the boys get together and they're all,
oh, you know, they allgot boy problems, which, by
the way, I wish I hadthat years ago. That was pretty cool.
Um. Anyway, my buddy says, hey, um, I got
this chick I've been with for aboutfour months and he says, look,

(38:20):
he goes fun fact that I learnedthe hard way and didn't really think about
it. She's got a tattoo ofher ex's name on her back shoulder,
and he says, so, anytimeI'm delivering some backshots, oh, I'm
staring at its name. How dowe fix this? So he's he's given
it the old hey, what suckdog? And you know he's just looking

(38:44):
now, going hey, Bob orwhatever the dude's name is. I didn't
get that far into the He goes, what are we doing about this?
How do we fix this? I'mlike, who is we? Like?
You just go hey, look atthis point, you gotta you gotta,
you gotta scratch that shit out orsomething. So this comes up from time
to time because a lot of peoplegot tattoos down. This has to happen

(39:05):
more often than not, right,correct, So when this happens, if
it's in the morning, I willtake the time and I will say,
okay, you know, like you'retalking about ted Lasso the Diamond Dogs,
as I need you all to assembleright now. I will just It's as
simple as this. This is howmany people have this. It's as easy

(39:27):
as saying I need three of youright now that have somebody else's name that's
not your child or your mom,or your brother or sister tattooed on you.
I need you to call and Ineed you to tell this person right
here, what a stupid idea.It is. Every phone line rings,
bro, every single phone line.Okay, well here's what you got,

(39:51):
Rod. Now, if somebody istrying to get it removed, this is
a fact. It fucking hurts.Now, if you're one of these tough
guys that doesn't think a tattoo hurts, then okay, you're cooler than me.
It hurts every one of them hurt. Tattoo removal is worse, really,

(40:12):
So don't get something that you're gonnahave to get removed. Do not
get a boyfriend, a girlfriend,a wife, or a husband. I
hope you guys stay together forever.I really do. Okay, love wins
with me. Okay, I wishyou the best. But there's so many
other people whose name that you couldtattoo on you that would even mean more.

(40:35):
Sorry, but it does. Okay, your kid will always be your
kid. You don't have a kid, great, you got a dog,
boom. Any of that is betterthan somebody that you're dating. Yeah,
yeah, I've never thought that wasa good idea in my entire life to
put somebody's name. It's the kissof death. It's the absolute kiss of
death. Once you get it onthere, boom, you're on the clock.

(41:00):
Nikki six was dating Vanity back inthe day. Wow. Remember she
was like kind of like a princegirl and she had her own solo project
and he got he got a bigV on his arm. Okay, well,
his name is Nicki six, Sohe had a contingency plan that if

(41:21):
it didn't work out the V andan ie. Now he's got Roman numeral
six, so he had a contingencyplan. I remember talking to who's the
director of Clerks Smith, Kevin Smith, and he must call his wife Jenny's.

(41:43):
Her name's Jenny, and he gotit down his forearm and I'm like,
bro, what are you doing?I said? And then I told
him the Nicki sixth store and hesaid, well, he goes, I
could maybe turn it into Denny's.I'm like, okay, there you go.
You got a contingency plan. Heysounds cool, but okay, well
it's like Johnny Depp had when hewas with a win on a rider.

(42:05):
He changed Onenota forever to Whino foreveror some shit, so you can change
it without getting removed. But yeah, my guy's like, well, so
how do we fix this? AndI'm like, well, you just fucking
tell her to get it fixed,change it or cover it up or put
up. You can't tell her toget it fixed if you're dating. I
don't think you can. I mean, how long how long are they dating?
Three months? Dope, it's there, that's there for another three I

(42:32):
mean, if you if you're ifyou marry this girl and it's a problem,
she should be cool with working withyou on that. Yeah, there's
a conversation down the road. Sheshould be pretty cool. And you know
what, they can do some greatcover ups right now too. And I
don't think it's being petty. Idon't. There's a lot of things as
you get older, Jason fifty nowexcept you. But everyone else gets a

(42:57):
little cooler as they get older.For some reason you haven't caught on yet.
If not, but less and lessBut you are like this, like
less and less. You know thisto be true. Less and less bothers
you as you get older. Igotta be honest with you. I wouldn't
lose sleep over it, but Iwould want it taken care of if I
was to marry her. But Rob, what should it matter. You can't

(43:17):
erase her past. I can erasethat that's it's painful, or we can
cover it up. You know what. My advice was, keep your shirt
on. I mean, don't doit in the first place. I get
all of that. Put your handover strategically. I don't know. You
gotta figure this out, bro,He's like, yeah, it's just weird.

(43:40):
Three months you're stuck with it.Yeah, you gotta ride that.
You could literally ride this out fora while. Yeah. Nuts, all
right, I think we got thatsolved. That's good. What else we
gotta solve? Nothing? Cool?Let's do Tom hanks favorite movies. Jason
Guinty Still no ink? No,you know what's weird. I was thinking
about the other day, not aboutgetting ink, but I was thinking about

(44:00):
the fact that I don't have ink, and I'm like, and I just
literally like the other day I startedthinking about I'm like, if I want,
if I really was thinking about itseriously, what would I get?
And that's as far as I got. So there's a reason why I don't
have ink. I don't have anything. I want to get are you is
there an is there any moral oppositionto it? Or is there there's nothing

(44:21):
like that? Right? No,no, nothing, No. I just
never Henry ever say anything about it. Why I don't have ink? No?
Has Henry ever brought up, heydad when I'm eighteen, can I
get a tattoo or said a word? He's never mentioned ink at all,
And if he wanted to do it, I'd be okay with it at eighteen,
I mean, yeah, should Iwould? I would certainly go.

(44:45):
You know, you might want towait a minute, because you're gonna have
different opinions in a year. You'regonna have different thoughts, You're gonna have
different art that you're gonna like.You know, be smart about it.
Don't don't just do it to bea horse's ass. Don't be doing it
to be rebellious. If you wanta piece of art, and that's what
it is, in my opinion,a piece of art. On you think

(45:05):
about it, Yeah, just don'tgo to the fucking tattoo shop and go
I want that dolphin. Don't dothat. That's a bad way to do
it, in my opinion. It'sno, that's uh, that's solid advice
right there. That's what all Igot on the tattoo thing. I don't.
I don't carry the way so coolto look at it, like like
people got tattoos. I'm like,oh, that's cool. Nice. What
where did is it okay to askpeople about their tattoos? Like? Wait,

(45:30):
what's that mean? What? Whatis it? What's it representative?
Do people get offended by that kindof thing? No? I no,
it's cool. It's like, hey, man, I like that. Can
you tell me about that? Imean, I think that would be a
good way to approach it now.And I think even if it's a tribute
tattooed is somebody that passed away orwhatever, it's fine. You know.
Now, you know, you startasking people about, you know, their

(45:50):
tear drops on their faces, andI don't know why you got that.
I don't know what it means whenyou, you know, killed somebody in
prison. I don't know what thespider web on the on your elbow means.
But there are some tattoos that havesome meanings that you might want to
stay away from those. I willdefinitely the tear drop when I got I'm
like, no, I heard aboutthat one years ago. I'm like,
no, we don't ask questions aboutthat. And the multiple ones mean,

(46:13):
woly shit, you've killed a lotof people. Yeah, yeah, I
stay away from that. I seepeople that get um solid bands, yeah,
and I believe those are like peoplethat have passed away. So that
might be another one to maybe stayaway from what. I don't think.
I don't think you'll stay away fromit. Man. If it's something that
you like, it, you appreciate, and they're putting it out there for

(46:34):
the world, I mean, Iwould not mind anybody asking about anything.
It just it's like, yeah,you have it out there. It's like
you know, it's on your body. And I don't know. I don't
I don't know how the fucking ruleswork with anything. Now. No,
I've given up trying to find out. I just sit quietly. Now,
Hey, how you doing Okay?I can't even tell like a chick in
the office that she looks nice.I don't know if you can even say

(46:55):
that anymore? Crazy? What kindof nut? How much h time you
want to spend, how many formsyou want to fill out? What look
nice? You can't say, hey, man, it's a really nice dress
today. Oh my god, you'rejust fucking hands and worms just spilling out
everywhere right now. Holy geez,I don't think you can do that.
I know it sucks. It sucksbecause it's it's it's not that, it's
the you know, your pants areon your ankles and the whistle is probably

(47:20):
is really scared them off when yousay that my pants are up button zip.
Alright, alright, okay, makesure because that's bad coming up.
Thank you Melissa Gee for her suggestion. We're gonna talk about our top five

so I'm starting to think when Ican get over there, hopefully sooner
than later. The Pirates of theQuarter, all the socials. Quick question

(48:28):
for you. Would you rather haveto battle one bear sized duck or ten
duck sized bears? This is heavyship, dude, It's a deep one
tonight. I gotta be honest,have you lived in I think ten I

(48:49):
think ten duck duck sized bears wouldfuck you up. You believe we're answering
this question. I think they fuckyou up. I think that there's ten
of them. I mean, well, they're this side of ducks. Just
kick them all coming at you atonce, like a little mini ewoks coming
at you. Ten of them.Yeah, with the I'd go with the

(49:09):
ten duck sized bears. I thinkI could kick a lot of them.
I think he could shake off.Yeah, I would go with that.
A bear sized This is the weirdestconversation of one bear sized duck. Okay,
I think Grizzly that beak, he'sgonna be like two surfboards being Yeah,
it's gonna be huge. It's gonnayou're done ie, ten of them.

(49:30):
No, that's you gotta be yougotta your heads are gotta be in
a swivel rod. Anyway, Ijust thought i'd bring that up. So
wait, wait, can you canyou beat up? Can you beat up
a seven year old? Probably notat this point, one seven year old?
If I had to, I'm tryingto think of a seven year old.
Yeah, I probably could. Twogets a little harder than Can you

(49:54):
take two seven year olds? Jason, I might be able to. I'm
not three. Three now I'm dead. You can't take on three seven year
olds. I bet they would kickmy ass. I'm not super strong.
I'm a little guy. Why amI fighting seven year olds? By the
way, what did they do?When the hell have you ever seen a

(50:14):
fucking bear sized duck? Okay,if you're allowed to ask dumb questions,
I can, that's true. Yeah, well I don't think I would want
to. Three I would. Iwould probably be Okay. Four, now
you're getting if they were smart andstrategic, they would definitely kick my ass.
Four of them would absolutely because sevenyou would handle five. I think
I could. I could take fiveseven year olds. You're bigger dude.

(50:37):
Yeah, six is a problem,but five seven year olds. I'm hanging
in there with him for a littlebit. Yeah, yeah, this has
gotten really weird. I didn't Ididn't mean for this to happen, but
yeah, what's going on? Yousaid, Tom Hanks has a movie or
a book coming out? He wrote, I didn't. I should look this

(50:58):
up so bad at this? Um, he wrote a what do you call
it? Uh? Nonfiction means real, right, and fiction means is real?
Fiction is Yeah, fiction is StarWars. He wrote a fiction book.
So he just wrote a start what. I don't know. I didn't
read it. I'll fucking figure.You were all excited, You're like,
yeah, let's go with Tom Hanks. He's got a book coming up.

(51:21):
That was as far as I wentinto it. I didn't really get in
that much research. You know,I don't do a whole lot on this,
for fuck's sake. No, Iwas way carefuling. That's the first
time that's been said on the podtoday. I didn't. I want to
be real careful on when I broughtit up. I wanted to make sure
I was just gonna kill So Iwas holding it and holding it. No

(51:44):
way did I spend an hour theother night just fucking scrolling that poor dudes.
Is that dude? That dude's awesome, isn't he? And you know
what, he's so like genuine withit too, Like no, Wick,
I can't believe I fucking didn't knowthat. Like I'm the same time,
like I didn't know that either.Like there's so much I learned about that
dude, the no Way guy onFacebook. I don't even know if he's

(52:04):
got other social media platforms. I'massuming he does. I know he's selling
merch now and stuff. I'm like, you go, boy, you go?
Do you? Man? Tom Hanks? Who cares if it's not a
tell all about his story and himbagging Rita Wilson. Nobody cares. I
really don't care about a fiction TomHanks book. So the making of another
major motion masterpiece, a novel,that's what it's called. So I don't

(52:27):
know. I ain't reading it.I ain't read it. I got enough
books to read here. I ain'tgotten that one. So let's talk about
his top five movies in our opinionanyway? Is he bigger than Tom Cruise,
meaning wow, I know he's taller. Is he bigger and I don't
have all the box office numbers andeverything. Who's a bigger star boy?

(52:52):
That is great because those they've bothbeen around forever, from the eighties,
they've you know, you think aboutTom Hanks, it seems like he's always
got movies come out, and umum Cruise is like he's got these big
gaps, you know. But yougotta think about Tom Cruise. All those
Mission Impossible movies are fucking great,like his are blockbusters, right, like

(53:14):
like, well, how you wouldcharacterize and how you would actually the definition
of blockbuster that seems to be everyTom Cruise movie. I don't think Sully
is a blockbuster, you know whatI mean? But big? But yeah,
it winds up being big though,and there's gotta be something for volume.

(53:36):
I mean, Tom Hanks must havemore movies out than Tom Cruise.
I think he asked to I wouldn'teven think that would even be close,
right, right, But it wasa bigger star man. Well, you
know how you get you get whitehot when your movies coming out, you
know, if you go if youdo Tom Cruise, when Top Gunner got
released, well, ain't nobody touchedhim. It was a bigger celebrity today.

(53:58):
Who's a bigger star, Tom Cruiseor Tom Hanks expects the exercise.
Tom Cruise gets more fucking white hotheat because he doesn't do a lot of
interviews, so there's more what TomHanks will talk to anybody, you know
what I mean? It always feelsthat way. Hanks does. Seem like
he's rolled up on people and takingselfies with people and done some of that

(54:19):
cool stuff. And while I dothink Tom Cruise is cool, I don't
think Tom Cruise can get around likeTom Hanks can. Tom Hanks with a
hat on and kind of going out, and I think he I think Tom
Cruise is a bigger celebrity. Yeah, I think because he doesn't, he's
not as available. You know,it feels like he's very private, very

(54:42):
quiet as scientology. I guess Idon't know whatever it goes on there,
but he's very like he just doesn'tshow up until all of a sudden,
Oh it's a movie time, Okay, I'll go out and do a couple
of interviews and then I'll go backinto hiding and disappear again. You know,
did you see? And I neverwatched one episode because I don't I
don't want him out of business withlate night TV. But did you see

(55:05):
anything with James Cordon going away?I did not watch any of that.
I've the only time I ever watchedhim was if like the Foo Fighters were
on the carpool thing or the ChiliPeppers cartfull karaoke. Sure, and that
was just one bit. You gottagive him that. I mean, I
you know, he seems like he'sa really talented guy. As a matter
of fact, now that I'm watchinga few things on him, I didn't
know he was that talented. Hegot Tom Cruise on his last show to

(55:31):
come on and join a Broadway playwith him, and they went out there
maybe doing Lion King or something,and Tom Cruise shows up and you're just
That's what kind of made me think, Jesus Christ, it's the biggest celebrity
in the world, and and he'shelping out James Gordon on his last show.

(55:52):
Now, I don't know if theyhave a ton of history and there's
these legendary appearances that he's had onthe show, I don't know, but
I think Tom Cruise has gotten JamesCordon to do some of those crazy stunts
with him over the years, sothat he said okay, I'll do something
with you. And I think Cordoncomes from maybe a theatrical background, so

(56:12):
he got him to go. Butthey were a part of the Broadway play.
They were a part of the actualshow, and he got him to
sing, so that was cool.I mean, I think Tom Cruise is
a pretty cool dude. Now whenyou go look on YouTube, there's you
gotta go see the first one sothen you can see the second one.
Years ago, Tom Cruise took JamesCordon surprised him. So Tom Cruise didn't
do an interview with James Cordy didn'tgo sit on the couch. He invited

(56:36):
him out and then surprised James Cordon, who's a bit of a Doughey dude,
and took him up and they skydived. And James Cordon does not fucking
like heights. He does not wanta skydive, but his genuine fear in
Tom Cruise just being the cool guythat he is, gets him through it
and they do it. Yeah,I was like five or six years ago,
so before Top Gun was finally releasedto theaters. I don't to ruin

(57:00):
it, but Tom Cruise invites JamesCordon out to an airfield and it just
gets fucking crazier from there. It'sweird that he aligned himself with you know,
that's the third biggest guy in LateNight, it's the biggest guy in
Hollywood. You would think that you'regoing to align yourself with Fallon or Kimmel,
you know. Nope, nope,nope, he did. And it's

(57:22):
spectacular, the flying and the wholething they do, and those two those
two bits are fucking greatly so thatit makes a little more sense why I
saw what I did. Anyway,Yeah, we both agree, all right,
Tom Cruise is bigger. But whowould be more fun to have a
beer with? Tom Cruise or TomHanks? You're like, Tom Hanks is

(57:46):
just a guy to sit there andhe talked to you for a while.
He would just chot and take allyour dumb questions. Hands down, he
would be the guy to have abeer with. Yeah, although I'd love
to do it with Tom Cruise.And I feel like after a couple minutes
he'd be like, okay, boardand then be like all right, we'll
go, you know what I mean. I feel like that he's got his
he's limits. He's intense, hecan be intense. He's he can be

(58:06):
intimidating, you know, and likeHanks just seems like, yeah, let's
have a couple of bruise And againcould be completely wrong here, but yeah,
I would say Tom Hanks. Yeah, so what are your hop by
favorite Tom Hanks movies? Man,there's gonna be a ton of repeats between
our lists, huh. I couldprobably say at least three, okay,

(58:28):
um in at number five, allthe toy stories what, no way,
all the toy stories I had,I had too, I'm sorry, um
okay, yeah, no, absolutely, those are fucking great Woody Is.
It's a phenomenal franchise. It's aphenomenal franchise. I mean and even you

(58:50):
know when you start getting a toystory three and four, like it's it's
a tear jerky. I mean,it's these these are good movies. Man,
um my kids nup that into himyet. And I don't want to
force it, because I like anything, You force something on your kid and
it's like, oh I don't likeit. If she gets a whiff a
whiff that like I like something andshe doesn't like it, then like,
well that's no, We're doing whatI want to do. So I'm really

(59:14):
treading lightly on. I want herto be into those, but she's not
into him yet. She will,she will because they are great, but
they feel a little bit older.But man, you know what a great
I remember when I first saw thefirst one and my kids, my daughter
was younger. So I'm watching itand I'm like, this is brilliant.
This is absolutely brilliant. The toyscome alive when you're not around. Why

(59:35):
didn't this never be thought of before? It's so awesome. You know,
Number five is all the toy storyfranchises. Number four Castaway, Castaway Wilson,
he's got to act. It's justhim. He loses all the weight,

(59:57):
grows his that's his hair, theysaid, I mean all of that,
it's just you know they talk about, you know, Robert de Niro
and Raging Bull when he lost allthat weight, like when or you know,
nobody does it better than Christian baleeChristian bale what he's done to his
body or you know it look ateven it just it just seemed like that

(01:00:20):
was one of those movies that tooka long time to make. They had
to naturally let him lose the weightand do all of that. It was
great, and he's acting in hisco host is a volleyball for half of
the movie. It's awesome. Yeah, it's a great movie. Plus,
I mean, who hasn't never dreamtof being stuck on an island by yourself?
Like, Oh, I could doit, I could do it,
And then you start watching movie You'relike, no, I couldn't. I'd

(01:00:40):
be dead. I'm not that smart. I'd be dead. Dude. When
he jams that fucking ice skate intohis mouth to get rid of that tooth,
that is he just passes out afterwards. And that's when remember then after
that is what he catches the fish, and he like, he totally looked
different. That's like he he jamsthe ice skate in his face and then

(01:01:06):
that's a rap. We'll see youguys in six months when Tom loses thirty
pounds. Yep, it comes thathe looked different after that. And I
hadn't seen that movie in a longlong time. It's such a great flake.
You're right, I love that movie. Uh. Number three is Forrest
Gump. Awesome, how do youAbsolutely awesome movie, brilliant. Number two
is Apollo thirteen. Number one isSaving Private Ryan. There you go.

(01:01:30):
That was easy. Yeah, thatwasn't bad. Um. I mean,
I just I couldn't have I've neverdone a more obvious Yeah, no shit,
rod, Um have I seen everyTom Hanks movie, No Biden,
but those are the best ones.And you know, I'm not gonna just
I'm not gonna put Bachelor Party onthere. It wasn't his wasn't his best

(01:01:51):
movie, but I love it.It wasn't his best work. I will
say, you know, um goodlist. I you know what. I
went back and forth on a coupleuh and then I'm like, nah,
I really like this. But thenI'm like, nah, shit, So
yeah, I'll change this tomorrow,you know, but this is my five.
I really really really like number fivethe Da Vinci Code when it came
out in two thousand and six.That's where he's in Paris. He's unraveling

(01:02:14):
that. That that when it wasDavid Brown Dale Brown, Hell's his name,
the author anyway, Dan Brown,Dan Brown. I knew i'd get
it eventually. Um, that wholecode where that guys like the Albinol dude
is whipping himself in his own backand all that ship they're drive around Paris
uncovering the codes. It wasn't exactlyhis best performance. But that's something about

(01:02:34):
the movie. I love it,and he was great in it. He
had weird hair Langdon Langdon. Soyeah, because it happened so long ago.
I don't know that I've ever reada book before I saw a movie,
and that's the one time because Ihate when fucking people say it,
but it's the only time I cansay it. So the book was better.

(01:02:55):
The book is almost always better.It's shove it up your ass.
Only I don't know another movie thatI read the book and it's sad it
is such a bug a boo ofmine. But that's the only movie I
think I can say that too.The book was better, of course.

(01:03:16):
Number four Apoble thirteen loved it,you know, I mean, that's so
great. The whole thing is justthat whole movie is just great. The
look of it from the from thesixties or early seventies whatever whatever year that
was. Um, can I tellyou my I've seen the movie one hundred
times. Yeah, but the timethat I saw that I was the personal

(01:03:37):
time that I saw this. Idon't know if I've ever shared this with
you before, but you're you're firstbornand uh and her mom they came to
They came here to Houston and theycame to visit, and and I took
Julia to NASA. Oh yeah,So we went to NASA and she's I
don't know, like thirteen, youknow, she's in that she's in that

(01:04:00):
age range. We we go toNASA and we're seeing everything, and you're
seeing mission control and everything, theold one. And they even say when
when you're looking at it, likethis is where they filmed the movie.
This was this was really mission control. This is where they used to steer
it from. But now we havea whole new mission control, but this
was the old one. Is therepreserved and that's where um the movie's shot.

(01:04:25):
We come we'd drive back from NASAand my other house I had a
like a movie theater room. Dude. We watched Apollo thirteen. I got
to watch it with her after wewere at NASA the same day, dude,
and it was awesome, and I, you know, you'd like to
think that she was just blown away. I don't know if she was.
I was, though, like Ijust thought that was such a cool experience.

(01:04:46):
That's that's my one of my favoritemovie watching moments of my life.
Yeah, that is cool man.Wow, that that doesn't happen very often,
you know what I mean, Like, um, yeah, the whole
time the movie's play, we wereright there. Oh yeah, we were
right there. We were right there. Was excited about it, so that
was cool. That's good. That'sgood man. Number three a league of

(01:05:08):
their own. That's a baseball chickmovie. And he's the coach. He's
great. There's no crying in baseballthe whole his his fucking drunken I don't
give a fuck attitude to those girls. He said asshole the whole time.
I mean, it's so great,and it's kind of off. It's not
him. He's not that lovable guy. He's kind of a dick the whole
time. And that's what makes himso cool. You know, it's a

(01:05:31):
great movie. It is an awesomemovie. It's a great movie. There's
a little bit of history involved init. And you're right. He isn't
He isn't that you know, Sleeplessin Seattle, that lovable guy. So
help me, God, if youhave Sleepless in Seattle, I'm gonna jump
through this zoom camera and punch inthe nose Number two sleep no kidding,

(01:05:55):
I can't watch that shit, numbertwo Gump and number one Private Ryan.
There you go. That was easy. And I hate that I don't have
Castaway on there because I do lovethat fucking movie. Love that movie.
And this is what I don't know. I mean, the Castaway win a
ton of awards. I don't thinkit did. Um. I think what
I don't like about Castaway was theending, Like he's just fucking in the

(01:06:19):
fact that he held that stupid fedexboxwith the wings on it. I'm like,
all right, that's a thin ascid. But they had to end it
somehow, you know what I mean, like like they're doing great, Like
he went and saw the old wifeand he's like, oh, said,
I'm so sad. Okay, thenjust drive off to the sunset. I
guess that was the way to driveoff and and says I, Oh,
he's gonna go meet that girl.You know. Yeah that ending felt yeah,

(01:06:42):
you know, yeah, he's notgreat. Didn't love that part of
it, But I guess how doyou end that? You know, he
just went back to life. Okay, great, it could have been worse,
but it wasn't a great ending.But yeah, I don't know that
Castaway won a ton of Awards,like neither one of us had Philadelphia on
there Oscar winning performance that so Ifeel like Tom Hanks. He I mean,

(01:07:08):
there's no question how huge he is, but I don't think he's been
nominated. He's not like the he'snot like the male Meryl Streep. There's
no I mean, there's only oneMeryl Streep, I guess. But I
mean every time Tom Hanks is ina movie, there's always got to be
a little bit of hey, youknow, is he is he back in
the running for something on this?You know, because he's so good,

(01:07:29):
you know, and I think hechooses his projects wisely. You know,
when you're that level, you youget the best scripts coming at you too,
you know, Dude, Bachelor BachelorParty is awesome. And the other
one that I wanted to mention,which clearly it's just such a long time
ago. It's early in his career, and you know, not Joe versus

(01:07:50):
the Volcano and I think he didsome suburb movie. But dude, the
money pit is legit. The moneypit is legit. Fucking funny, laugh
out loud funny. And that's rightwhen the Shelley What's her nut? From
Cheer? She was at the topof her game as well. But he

(01:08:13):
is legit amazingly funny in the MoneyPit and they're working on this house and
it tears them apart. And it'sa classic story, you know, one
that I talked about. You know, you're renovating a house, man,
you can get a little chippy withyour spouse, you know, when you're
we have a lot of work gettingdone. And there's a scene in the
movie where he falls in a holein the floor and he's just and he's

(01:08:39):
like Brad, Brad bad, butNana Benna bot bat and he's like taking
He's got little dollar bills and he'sshooting paper airplanes and the wife can't find
him. I laughed my ass off. It's so funny. It could have
been in my top five. Itcould have been in my top five.
But these are just every one ofhim is a banger like Matt Those are

(01:09:00):
his bangingist amazing movies. But man, the Money Pits great. I love
that movie. And you know whata movie I also like a lot is
Catch Me if you Can. That'sthe one with Leo DiCaprio and he's trying
to chase him all of the world. Stuff is that more a Leo movie
totally. Yeah, yeah, butI mean Hanks has a very unique role
in it. Captain Phillips was goodbut not great, but I thought he

(01:09:26):
played on the captain now yeah,yeah, I thought he was great in
it, but it was great inthat it wasn't a home run. And
then Big is fucking fun. Bigwas the other one. Big. I
think Big is his best early movie. See he's got, he's got like
the Golden age of Hanks. Youcan say, Okay, you know what

(01:09:47):
early eighties he was hot. Youknow, you had the big you had
Bachelor Party, had the money pitand Turner and Hooch Turner and who and
then you kind of got quiet andthen the golden Golden Age of the nineties
with uh, you know Gump,Private Ryan Philadelphia. He was just banging
him out, Monster monsters, butfull black, curly haired Tom Hanks.

(01:10:14):
Big is his best early movie.Oh it's it's a great role. I
mean it is. It is awesome. How he how he does that almost
like there's a little bit of geniusin how Will Farrell portrays Buddy the Elf.
And I got to think that hehad to borrow a little bit of
what Tom Hanks did to act likea little kid as an adult. That

(01:10:38):
makes sense, you know, likeit just it was so good. And
I don't know how many things thatTom Hanks had to look at to kind
of create that, but I thinkWill Farrell had to watch Big before he
did Elf. Yeah, because there'sa lot of that elments, like how
do you become a kid and thenyou have that curiosity and that wide eyed
look in your face all the time. You know, absolutely one hundred percent.

(01:11:00):
So yeah, Big Big would havebeen my sixth Ye Big Big would
be number six. I'd have toget money picked. Um. I why
I like? I love the Elvismovie. I don't like the way it
was told. I don't like itcoming from Colonel Tom Parker. I don't

(01:11:20):
like his colonel Tom Parker. Ihate the real Colonel Tom Parker. Is
that Tom Hanks fault that I don'tlike Colonel Tom Parker? What? Why?
Why not Tom Hanks mentioned in Elvisif I'm one hundred percent with you
on that one, because I alwaysfeel like it's just I'm watching Tom Hanks

(01:11:41):
in a fat suit. And itdidn't. It didn't, I didn't.
I wasn't fooled. Ever, Iwas never fooled. If it made you
hate him, then Tom Hanks didhis job, you know. If he
did that, and if he gotthat emotion out of me, he did
his job. But I just stillit should have been nobody. I hate
the story being told through Colonel TomParker. I guess I don't know.
I didn't mind that part of it. It was kind of a unique angle

(01:12:02):
to come at it. But ifit was just anybody, because you know
what, you want to elevate Elvis, right, you want that kid to
just shine. I think having TomHanks at that distracting Tom Hanks fat suit,
it just felt weird to me,and it was it was always felt
like, oh yeah, there's TomHanks's Colonel Parker. I could never get
past him. You know, theydidn't need him. They didn't need him.

(01:12:25):
Now they might have thought they neededa big celebrity to go on and
promote this movie, you know,because because the kid wasn't proven yet.
But the killer was so good thatI didn't feel like I was distracted by
Tom Hanks. I would have beendistracted by anybody in that suit and in
that role. I don't know,I just he was. I mean,
it's not like he was a killer. He just there's something that was still

(01:12:46):
very hateable about him. Oh yeah, that It's just I can't find one
nice thing to say and it,I mean, it's a part of Elvis's
story, so it has to betold. But I didn't want I don't
know. Yeah, I don't know. Tom Parker is a fuck face.
He's a piece of shit. Imean, that's the real dude. Was
just garbage and just ruined everything.I mean, you know, Elvis would

(01:13:09):
have probably had an opportunity to livea little longer had it not run for
that guy. You know. AndI'm not saying anything that not a bazillion
people who haven't already said by sayingthat. So I'm three years older than
you. Did you watch Bosom?Did you watch Bosom Buddies when it was
on TV? Or no? Youknow what, I was pretty young,
but I remember seeing it going whyare those dudes wearing dresses? And I

(01:13:30):
just never got into the show.I would assume it was probably funny.
I've never really seen it. Himconcept Peter Scolari, Yeah, Peter Scolari,
I remember it well. They couldn'tfind a place to live, and
there was some sort of an apartmentcomplex that only allowed women to live there,

(01:13:54):
so they dressed in drag and that'show they got in and out of
the building every day. And theywere fooling everybody. And obviously it's a
it's a silly sit in thirty minutesitcom ee eighties. In the nineteen eighties
there were men wearing dresses on TV. Pretty Dude. Tom Hanks plays a

(01:14:15):
thug and opposes Fonzie in an oldHappy Days. That's how old Hanks is.
Oh, oh, you'll never Andwe've talked about this, the Family
Ties episode where he fucking punches AlexPete Keaton. He's uncle Ned or something.
He's uncle Ned and he's an alcoholic. And at first you're like,
you love the guy and he's socool, and he's like, oh,

(01:14:38):
it's cool, uncle Ned or whateverhis name was, yep, And it
comes out he's like drinking the vanillaextract out of the spice shelf and he's
got fucking he's an alcoholic, andit ends up punch and Alex Pete Keaton
and you're like, nobody punches MichaelJ. Fox, What the hell is
this? He was in that andFamily Ties as old as fuck. That
dude's got to be a vampire.He's like sixty six years old. I

(01:14:59):
think pretty sure he is like sixtysix, sixty six, Yeah, I
mean he was probably young, butyeah, he was a thug type character.
There's an episode of Happy Days.Really I didn't know, and then
Fons he put him in his spot. Don't worry, don't worry. The
fawns took care of him. There'snothing the fawns couldn't do. Yeah,
he's sixty six, born in Julyninth, nineteen fifty six. So yeah,
sixty six. He's got He's gotone, two, three more.

(01:15:24):
He's got three movies coming out thenext year and a half. This dude
doesn't quit working. What do youknow about chet Hanks? Nothing? Is
he the weird fucked up kicks.I know he's got Colin Hanks, who's
an actor director who's doing pretty wellfor himself. Right. He's really good.
The first time I ever saw himwas the movie Orange County with him
and Jack Black. They were great. That was a great man. He

(01:15:45):
kind of sounded like his dad,and it's like wow, okay, And
he's really good and everything that I'veseen him in and he's the one that
made them the Tower Records documentary.That's right, all things must pass.
So he's really talented, he's reallyreally good. And then you have chet

(01:16:10):
Chet Hanks. I'm just gonna warnyou if you it's kind of like googling
Steven Tyler's feet if you if youstart looking into Chet Hanks, he's pretty
hate herbal. Yeah, he's arapper. He kind of had a whole
hot Dude Summer going on a coupleof years ago. He's kind of an

(01:16:32):
embarrassment because his mom, Rita Wilson, can sing her ass off. I
don't know Tom Hanks to sing inany of his movies, but I haven't
seen them all, but Rita Wilsoncan sing her ass off. I mean
she has like a really like akiller voice. And Chet Hanks tried to

(01:16:57):
go in that direction and kind ofwrapped and he was embarrassing. He was
absolutely embarrassing. In the social mediavideos that he posted Tom hanks Son,
it started out with the word chet. I think that's where they started wrong.
Chet Hanks. Yeah, white hot, hot dude summer, white dude
summer, something like that. Youcan go go google it. No,

(01:17:20):
I probably won't. You know whatI'm pretty sure I will not take the
advice on that one. Yeah,I don't want to give out like false
homework assignment on this podcast because youwill not be you will not feel good
about yourself. It's just you willfeel dumber for watching anything that Chet Hanks
has on the internet. I didn'texactly feel smarter after watching about forty five

(01:17:41):
minutes of what No Wave videos theother night, but I was like,
this guy's at least doing some goodfor the world. He's showing us,
Hey, look at these little lifeacts as a dude you can have in
that garage, you know what Imean. So I don't feel bad about
watching that. I'm not gonna sitaround watching Jet Hanks videos, man,
though, I'm just saying they're available. Probably won't Probably will not be doing

(01:18:03):
that. Rodney, I have Ihave some stuff in a folder and it's
um no, it's right next tomy Corey Feldman folder. So just to
give you an idea of where youwould prioritize, you might someday might be

(01:18:24):
feeling like, you know, youwant to see something of Corey Feldman,
maybe a performance, and then maybeyou'd want to Chet Hanks to break it
up. But you would, youwould have to be in that same mood
like that. That is a realscrapage of the bottom of the as they
say, yes, but I thinkthat gives you a better idea of,
you know what, what folder toput it in. Like Corey Feldman,

(01:18:45):
I'll be like, all right,I got some curiosity. I'll see what
this guy's got going, but I'mnot gonna go down that hole. Yeah.
Oh it's horrible. It's bad,It's embarrassingly bad. I don't want
to do it. No thanks,any final thoughts, rod Uh Yeah,
just trying to get the rod RyanShowcare store up and running, and I'm

(01:19:06):
hoping to have the store for thefirst time ever. It might be up
next week before more Memorial Day weekend, which I know people got you know,
grilling and chilling and you know,and that's not why you do Memorial
Day weekend. Okay, it's thosethat made the ultimate sacrifice. But there's
no shame in getting ready to grilland chill and hang out at Jason's pool

(01:19:26):
and do all that fun stuff.So I'm trying to get the store up
and running. That means we're gonnastart raising money for backpacks for kids.
So it's weird. It's hard toget people fired up because kids are still
in school, not for much longer. But I'm going to start asking people
for money for backpacks for kids tostart school next year very soon. Let

(01:19:48):
the kids get out of school,like we don't want kids. You gotta
work ahead, bro, I gottawork ahead. So I'm working on all
the T shirt designs and all ofthat, and I got all the design
set so we might have the storeup and running next week. Dude.
My fun thought is some parental guidance. Rod um. My son is uh,

(01:20:11):
he's moving on. He's going togo on to high school next year.
He's very excited about that. Allgood, Right, So he's just
coasting these last few last week orso at school, Like I mean,
he goes, I go do whatyou're doing at school? He goes nothing,
nothing, And I'm like, well, how many more days could you
miss? You know what I mean, Like, I'm thinking, I'm trying
to work with a kid here,you know, because he's not doing anything.
He's bored and he has or anythinglike I've already done it. All

(01:20:34):
all good, It's just it's justjust those extra days day of the year
in case there's you know, afucking hurricane or something they got to take.
Is he still got a couple ofweeks? I mean, what is
he looking at. He's got therest of this weekend, part of next
week and then he's done. Soit's he's out before Memorial Day weekend.
Yeah, yeah, he's done.Okay's done. So the other day,
Uh, there's a bit of adust up at the school. He was

(01:20:57):
not involved, but he said itgot pretty wild and and um, you
know a bunch of kids got youknow, after a fistfight in school in
the lunch room, those kids weretold you are no longer allowed to come
back for the rest of the year. Okay, and this is gonna go
on your record and all this shit. So we're in the car after listening
to the Food Fighters song this morningon the way to school, and I

(01:21:18):
said, so, when you gotplanning for school today, what's going on?
He goes, nothing, I'm gonnasit there. I go, here's
what you're gonna do. I go, you find a kid next year it's
not too big and not too small, and you go punch him in the
face and get into a fight.Boom, you got the rest of the
year. Off, dude, hegoes, But he goes, I don't.
I don't think that's probably the bestadvice to give. Yeah, no,

(01:21:41):
dude, you're looking for an outright. Here we go. And
then I said a record, andyou know, I don't go on your
record, And I said, don'tpunch anybody, don't be dumb. And
but he's like, I couldn't.They said it pretty serious. He looks
at me, He's like, Idon't. I don't. I don't think
that's a good idea, does he? I mean, how old is Henry

(01:22:05):
now? Fourteen? Going to befifteen soon? So so our camps out
of the question. Obviously, he'stoo young to get a job. He's
in that weird he's in that weirdspace. Is there plans for him to
do something? I mean, youguys have probably got some family vacation,
do you know. I know,you guys go to the beach a lot

(01:22:25):
and stuff like that. But issoccer and all that stuff over with for
the summer too? Soccer is almostdone. He's got a couple of weeks
of prepping for high school. Theygot some different camps and ship that they
do for that to get them kindof warmed up for it, which is
I think fu I wish we wouldhave had that. You know. I
walked in one day and I'm boom, here you go, and I'm like,
what the fuck? Where are we? You know? But yeah,

(01:22:45):
he's got that, but really notmuch. It's a weird summer. He's
got nothing super planned. He's gota couple of little things. Some people
have said, hey, you wantto come work for me for a week
or two and learn the ropes onthis business, and I'm like, fuck,
yeah he does. So he's gotsome opportunities. Yeah, it's kind
of cool that way. So it'slike you can't officially work or anything.
But he's you know, he's smartand he gives a shit, so he's

(01:23:08):
gonna go learn a few things.I'm like, let's do it. Maybe
hanging out doing nothing mostly, whichis great. Wo dude, you got
your whole life to do dumb shitand work all summer. You know,
I don't mind it just pissing aroundall summer. And it isn't as long
as you think. I mean,most kids, you know in the South,
I think he's done right before MemorialDay. He's going back and like

(01:23:28):
the first week in August, it'sa short summer. You know, they're
getting more time off during the year, which is weird to me. Let's
just get it done. Let's justhammer through this shit and give me a
long summer. Yeah, it's weirdthey're giving more time off, and I
think there's some kind of a youknow, obviously there's a teacher shortage and
they're trying to like give teachers moretime off, and yeah, I'm finding

(01:23:53):
it difficult. My kid has likeweird times off and it's what what what
do you mean of a mid It'snot that's not spring break. There's like
some mid spring early year break.I'm like, what is this? What
do you call this? You werejust off for Christmas. It's there's some
weird there's some weird things happening rightnow with kids in school, well with

(01:24:13):
time off. The teacher thing isthe scariest part because even my son's like
he's like, man, I've hadlike six science teachers this year, Like
they don't stick. I'm like,how can you learn anything when you you
know? And it's like and thekids recognize it, and it's like I
get it. This is not shittagain teachers at all, because they've got
one of the hardest jobs on earthand they don't get paid. Shit.

(01:24:34):
Who wants to do that? Youknow, you the beating you take.
And I can't imagine, like youknew, like when we were in school
back in the nineteen hundreds, thatteachers had a hard job then because we
were assholes, but you know,they had a little more leniency to kind
of keep us in line. Ican't imagine. You know, you got
these moms groups now and the Karensof the world. How could you be

(01:24:55):
a teacher. You can't teach anythinganymore. You can't say shit to anybody.
Yeah, I can't imagine being ateacher. I can't even imagine,
No, not at all. Anyway, all right, guys, thank you
