When you say you're gonna go,you gotta go. I go, all
right. It's episode one two.That's one hundred and two episodes of the
play Pants Pod. Fuck play pantspodcast. It's not a pants, it's
pants. I feel like you gotcaught up and you forgot how to count

(00:22):
in the middle of one o twothere too as well. I know I'm
not good at this, and onehundred two episodes in. You think everyone's
got that figured out by now,Jason Ganti, rod Ryan. It is
episode one oh two of the PlaypantsPodcast, and I I fucked up the
beginning because I've been sitting on thisquestion for many days now. I've been
sitting and just boiling in, freakingout about the question about to ask you

(00:47):
right here out of the gate,coming in hot and be good. It's
actually wonderful, and I really hopethe answer is yes. I really do.
And you're gonna know why when Isay it. So Young Rodney went
out to Las Vegas, went tothe sphere. I saw a piece of
news come across, and there weresome things that happened maybe when you were

(01:11):
there. Now you went to seeyou two in the sphere and there was
an article that came out over theweekend that Bono busted into a Harry Styles
song called Sign of the Times.He did like forty five seconds of it.
My question I am posing to youis, holy shit, was it

(01:32):
when you were there? Dude?I think I would have remembered that.
I had a couple of beers.I know you're hoping that that. I
would love to have been there.Oh my god, I really cannot tell
you that I remember that. Imean, I remember the show. I'm

(01:53):
pretty sure he did not do thatat my show. Now. I didn't
go to the weekend show. Iwas there on a Wednesday night, Okay,
okay, So yeah, he's hadsome special guests on stage. I
think Lady Gaga went up there.I mean, no special guests when I
was there, But I was therelast Wednesday. And the sphere is the

(02:16):
future. They need to drop thesethings everywhere, you know. I don't
know like what cities are going tobe next. But the one thing I
learned about the Spirit's a publicly tradedcompany, so there's going to be more
of them, and it's a billiondollars to build one. So probably Dubai

(02:37):
is getting the next one. Idon't know where they're going to be,
but London, you know, youknow, maybe big cities around the world.
It's awesome. It's there's nothing that'sNobody over sold it to me.
I talked to a few people thatwent to shows before I went, and
there was no let down at all. I was primed on how expensive everything

(02:59):
was going to be, The drinksare a lot, blah blah blah,
all that my tickets were ridiculous.The one thing that I did, I
bought my tickets late, so Ihad to go through a second tier like
a Vivid or a stub Hub somethinglike that. And I'm honest about it.
I paid like eight fifty for theseats, and then it was three

(03:21):
hundred dollars tacked on as a servicefee. That's what I paid. What
the hell is it service fee for? Like, is it cost three hundred
dollars to fucking swipe the card?It's a percentage of the ticket price.
They're not doing any more work,it's whatever that ticket price is. The
service fee goes up, which iseven more criminal. So beyond that,
I mean, yeah, it's amillion dollars to go Okay, So I

(03:46):
could have bought tickets on the floorfor approximately the same price. I could
have bought one hundred level. Thereare four hundred. There are four levels,
one, two, three, andfour hundred. I could have gotten
the one hundred level and then thefour hundred level center And you know,
like most concerts, you've been goingto concerts forever, you want to be

(04:10):
as close as you can to theband. Not this time. You know,
I've seen you two a bunch oftimes. It wasn't about getting close
to them, it was about takingin the sphere. So I elected to
go four hundred, which I feellike I made the right choice. Now.
Obviously, anyone else that's moving forward, if you can get in and
if you want to get two hundredor three hundred level, that would be

(04:31):
clutch. Gotch. But if youlook at the videos that I posted that
stage, they're far away. It'sbig. It's a twenty thousand seat venue.
I didn't know it was that big. Really, yeah, oh yeah,
it's big. It's awesome. Thegraphics, I felt like they used
them properly. I didn't feel likethey overdid it. I think a lot

(04:54):
of thought really went into it.But I also feel like this is just
the beginning. If you two isdoing how like, if it looks as
awesome as it does, now,boy, what are they gonna be able
to do down the road? Youknow, they're just I mean, it's
the first one in the world.So it's cool because the video screens are
on the outside as well, youknow, and it's got you know,

(05:15):
it's always imaging something. It lookslike the moon. Sometimes it looks like
a big eyeball. You know,it's gonna be interesting to watch. And
I know you're not into it either, even though you're kind of a weirdo
car guy, but for some reasonyou don't watch car racing Formula one.
Right, the city was pretty fuckedup. It's all cut up right now,
which they must be making so muchmoney for them to fuck up Las

(05:39):
Vegas, okay on purpose, thewalking experience, the driving experience, for
them to damage maybe somebody's first timeever going to Vegas. They must make
so much money on that Formula onebecause they really have that city cut up
and there's grand stands everywhere, andyou can't just walk down the strip.

(06:00):
I like to do a lot ofwalking, so you got to cut you
got to keep going back and forthover and bath. See that blows.
I like to. I like tojust cruise in the strip, up and
down, you know, as you'regoing from casino to casino, out on
the street and seeing the ship.Yeah. And for me, it's it's
not even about being so much inthe casinos. It's just about being outside
and walking. It was really niceweather and everything, so I walked to
the Sphere because I wanted to seeit during the day. It turns out

(06:20):
it's not that great to look atup close. It's better from far away.
It's like looking at it, it'slike, oh shit, it's huge.
It's like putt your eyeball on aChristmas light. You're like, this
isn't that great? Yeah? Kindof kind of a little distance baby,
Yeah, but yeah, dude,it's awesome. It's the future. I
mean, it's got to be oneverybody's bucket list. I know that you've

(06:43):
been to Red Rocks, so Ichecked that off my list. You know,
the Sphere I think is now addedto the list. I don't know
where else you have that you wantto see a show? Did you go?
Did you see anything at the HollywoodBowl? I don't I ever have,
But that's like a legendary old schoolplace to go to. For sure.
Like the Greek Theater out there aswell would be a good one,
you know. Yeah, But theHollywood Bowl is something that I would want

(07:06):
to go see a show someday inLos Angeles. I can't think of what
else. I mean, you know, it'd be awesome to go to see
something at Wimbley Stadium, but onceyou get in there, it's another stadium.
I'll say this, you know,seeing I've been to a couple of
shows at Madison Square Garden, it'snot it's not special Madison Square Garden.
As a matter of fact. It'sold. Okay, So it's older than

(07:28):
what your Smoothie King Center. It'solder than the Toylet Center. There's nothing
really special about it other than amillion things have happened there, right,
but there's no Madison Square Garden isin New York City, and it's so
dense and compact. When you're walkingup on a football stadium or you're walking
up on Yankee Stadium, Okay,ooh, it's amazing, you know.

(07:51):
And same thing with the Astrodome,the super Dome. You can walk up
on it and you see it andit's like this amazing thing. Because New
York's is so dense you're just walking, it's like, oh, there it
is, you know, It's justit's amongst all these other buildings. So
I'm just saying, I don't thinkif anyone watching and listening feels they have
to put Madison Square Garden on yourbucket list to see somebody. Yeah,

(08:16):
I mean, if if you're intown, it'll be worth it. But
you know what that's like, thethird or fourth Madison Square Garden that's been
built. It's not even like anoriginal one. They've torn it down and
built in a bunch of different timesover the years. Too. You're going
there because it's so famous, that'sall it is. It's like, it's
great. What was the sound likein the sphere? Because that is important
and that's hard to pull off live. You know, it's gotten better over
the years. But what I've readis the sound in the sphere is like

(08:39):
supposed to be great? Is itbetter? It is great. I had
heard when the sphere was first announcedthey were talking about like speakers. I
didn't feel like the sound was comingup from a floor or anything like that.
I did feel like it was comingfrom in front and around me.
So it did have a surround feelto it. Oh that's cool. I
did read something about, you know, like it was just gonna be revolutionary

(09:03):
and there was gonna be you know, under the seats and everything. I
didn't pick up on that, butit was very clear. It was unbelievably
clear. When you go to someof these shows and it gets a little
distorted. They got to you know, they got to kind of fill up
a stadium, they got to fillup. I mean the sound is great,
I mean it is. It's adjusted, and I think you do.

(09:24):
There's a difference when you go seea band that's doing a residency too,
because you know, from a mixingboard boom, you've got all those shows
before yours to get it right.No one's touching that fucking board. Man.
It's like, no, we gotit down. It's the fourth show.
We have it perfect. Nobody evenlook at the board, you know.
So the sound it's mixed and perfect, you know, yeah, yeah,

(09:48):
no, it's that's that you getthat with the residency. You know,
you can't you know, you canmark the board and move it from
city to city, but every roomis different. So when when you go
see a band that's set up andplaying every night in the same spot.
I think that adds to like howgreat they sound. Well it's all brand
new stuff and everything like that,so I mean that's pretty cool. Now

(10:09):
the rumor is too and not toget back on the Harry styles thing,
but god, that would have beenso cool if it had been pist pants.
I would I would have definitely rememberedif they done that, Like I
I was feeling pretty good at theshow. Yeah, yeah, I would
have remembered. So there's rumors thatwe've talked about this before, well who
goes next? Because because you twoextended their dates out like after the first

(10:33):
of the year. I think itdid like February. Maybe. Now the
big rumor is Harry. Harry mightbe the next guy. And then when
Bono did that, everyone, ohfuck, it's gonna be Harry. This
is a little teaser. Now that'snot Is that the only reason that that's
the rumor? Because Bono did that, that that like kicked it into another
gear that that Harry. I don'tknow what Harry's people are called, his
fan club, you know, likeLady God guys got the monsters, and

(10:58):
it might be just it might justbe me. I'm in all the fucking
Harry styles chat rooms. Yeah.Man, he's totally going to be playing
there, dude. He's like moderating, he's like making. He's got a
little pin machine he's sending out pins. By the way, the big room
now is that Harry apparently shaved hishead. He wanted to look more like
us. Ha. Listen, allthe cool dudes are doing it, Harry,
So we come on, Harry,Welcome to it. Brother. So

(11:22):
anyway, that's why I want tobring up that question. I'm like,
holy shit, because when I sawthat, I went, oh my god,
I heard I read that fish wasbeing talked about. But like I
said, with Red Rocks, whenI went to go see my buddy,
because you were only there a shortperiod of time, I never even got

(11:43):
over there to see it when youwere there. I went to go see
my buddy Chris, who lived there, and I went during the summer.
Most people go visit their friends inDenver in the winter time because they want
to go skiing, skiing. Ihappen to go see him in the summer
and I said, oh, RedRocks, I don't care who's playing,
We're going to go to I said, I'll buy the tickets for you.
And your wife. But if JustinBieber's playing, we're going to see Justin

(12:05):
Bieber? I go, are youdown with that? He goes, well,
let me look. And the nightwe went it was a Britt Floyd,
which was a Pink Floyd tribute band, which you know, that's cool.
I'm not the world's, nor areyou the world's biggest Pink Floyd fan,
but they're kind of endorsed by PinkFloyd there, you know, like
this is the best thing next tous, and for all practical purposes,

(12:28):
it was. I saw Pink Floyd, you know, and it sounded and
it was amazing experience. It waslike, you know, Red Rocks is
like going to church. Elon Musksaid that the Sphere is a modern day
colisseum. I could see that.I could totally see that. It's it's
it's revolutionized the whole game. Now. I hope what they do because you

(12:50):
know, I mean, that's athat's a ticket price that most people,
you know, that's a that's ahefty price. Are they gonna put fish
in there and the ticket's gonna godown to like one hundred fifty bucks,
then I'm gonna go see fish?Okay? So I think the ticket prices
ranged between three and seven when theygo on sale. Okay, A friend
of mine went to go and hejust got tickets when they went on sale.

(13:13):
It's possible you can get tickets stillwhen shows go on sale, but
all these U two shows sell outright away. So I think you got
in there for four hundred bucks kindof where I sat, I paid double.
Okay, that's not terrible, Imean it is. I mean it's
a pretty go and rate ticket fora decent band. If you want to
go see the Eagles on their tourright now, it's going to cost you
that. So I suppose. Yeah. I just got blown up this morning

(13:35):
by a listener who is just hewas so mad that he was trying to
get Eagles tickets and they were Idon't know, a thousand dollars or something
like that. Now, dude,go back in your memory. I feel
like the Eagles started that whole thingwhen when they first got back together,

(13:56):
held freezes over tour. I wantto say that the ticket price was two
hundred dollars or something, and wehad never heard of anything over like one
twenty five or one hundred year.I feel like the Eagles, I feel
like the Egle maybe one hundred dollarswas like the most. And this is
going back not that long ago,I mean twenty twenty five years. Yeah,

(14:16):
maybe I feel like the Eagles arethe ones that came in and just
said, fuck you, man totwenty five, you want to come see
us, man, you're never goingto see us again. Liars, every
band lies. I in my memoryblame it on the Eagles too. They
didn't just go up twenty bucks fromeverybody else. They went up one hundred
and twenty dollars from the highest ticketprice. Yeah, because they knew they

(14:39):
were all my memory, that's whatI remember, Yeah, because it was
so it was such a huge announcementthat, oh my god, they said
they were never going to get backoh together, and it just blew up
and they went, okay, let'sgo make some sick money. And they
just went fuck it, and itwas all the boomers were like, well,
all right, I guess that's whatI'm gonna beout. They knew that
their audience was older and had mine, they had the money, so they
just and then the of course,now from that point it's just blown up

(15:01):
farther and farther. I mean yougo buy a rock T shirt. What's
a T shirt costing nowadays? Fiftyfive bucks? Fifty bucks for a U
two T shirt just for a tea, fifty bucks, which you know,
you know, the double. Idon't know what we were doing. You
know, it was like sixty dollarsfor a couple of drinks, you know,

(15:24):
like we were doing super I'm aic. I'm a big Gin and Tonic
guy. Now gentonic guy. Nowokay, double gin and Tonic. I
think you know they were thirty bucksapiece. I think esus. But if
you go to a Saints game herein the super Dome, I think beers
are like twelve or thirteen bucks ashot. It's like, well, glad
I quit drinking. Holy shit,that was a lot. I'll tell you

(15:46):
what buzzfest. Long time ago,I remember getting two beers. They're the
big ones too, don't ask methe and I remember laying down twenty bucks
and her looking at me. Passit over, choppers. You know,
blue, what you think this is? Dog? I can't get two beers

(16:07):
for under twenty dollars. A longtime ago. That's been I don't know.
I mean, it's just you bitch, and you moan about it,
and one emailer said, Rod,we can just stop going to the shows.
It's a very simple You have agreat point, but there's just somebody
there that's going to fill your seat. So do you really they got us

(16:32):
by that, They got us bythe short and curlyes, these bands.
You know, I appreciate the stance. Well, I'm not going to shows.
I'm not spending that kind of money. Okay, that's cool. It's
like the people that got pissed offat the NFL a couple of years ago.
It's got the people that got pissedoff at bud Light. Okay.
And if you held to you,if you held your ground and you didn't

(16:53):
watch the NFL anymore because somebody waskneeling or because of bud light, did
you did you really hold your ordid you stop for a while and then
you went back? Yeah? Back. I tend to believe maybe the bud
Light thing, I think that reallydid piss off a lot of people.
But the people that said they wereno longer going to watch the NFL because
people were kneeling during the National anthem, right, I would guess ninety eight

(17:15):
percent of those people came back towatch the NFL oh, absolutely they did.
The ratings are higher than they weretwo years ago. I promise there
are a few people that said that'sit, I'm done with this sport.
And I think there are people.You know, it's like the same people
that when somebody wins an election,they're going to leave the country. Nobody
ever does A few people have youget mad, you get you know,

(17:37):
whatever, you go back to itthe thing that I you know, I
was thinking of you know, yourson was thinking of London. And I
know we brought this up before,but when I was a kid, when
you were a kid, you couldwork at your supermarket, I could work
at the restaurant, I could washdishes, and I could save up enough

(17:59):
money and buy a ticket to gosee my favorite band. Yep, you
could you Jason Guinty, his parentsdid not buy him a ticket to go
see Van Halen. He went aroundin the winter time and grabbed all the
shopping carts and brought them in fromfrom at the grocery store. Rice mash
them up. Bro, you savedall your money and but you were able

(18:22):
to now go back to Harry Styles, somebody that you know we're talking about
when we're our age. You knowwhen we were young, that's their favorite
guy. Tickets are four hundred bucks. Man. You can't you can't wash,
you can't have a dishwasher job andmow lawns. And you could mow
every lawn in your in your development, and you're not going to save up

(18:44):
enough money to go see Harry Styles. That's a huge difference right now from
when we grew up. Yeah,it makes it very very hard. It's
like, you know, and it'sa shame because there's so many great bands
that are still rolling around, butthey're they've they've priced themselves out of the
average person, you know what Imean. Even like I still go to
shows, and I would go tomore, but I look at some of

(19:06):
the costs and I'm like, yeah, nah, not going to that one.
Holy shit, man, I'm justnot you know. And people think,
well, you working mister program director, you programs from radio, say
you get all the free tickets.Ah, not like it used to be.
Man, it is not that gamethat much. I mean, sure
I'll get some here and there,but it's never for like the great bands.
It's always for like the sea levelbands. Oh you want to go,

(19:27):
Nah, I don't. I don'twant those tickets, man, you
know what I mean. It's oneof those deals. So I feel the
pain for someone who's gonna want togo. Well, look, look,
Taylor Swift, yet fucking thousand dollarsyou want to go? And she sold
three nights out or three or fournights here at the super Dome next October,
sold out, And those tickets areso ridiculously priced. She sold three

(19:52):
nights. Are three nights at theDome in New Orleans, three nights sold
out. Because it's a it's agreat destination city city, really city,
you're a city your size was notgetting three shows, but because people want
to make a weekend out of itand they want to go to New Orleans,
you know, you're lucky that youget that many. Now, this
city, Houston's huge. I thinkwe got three shows here. That makes

(20:17):
sense because the population there. Shedid six shows in LA, right,
so fire things. Yeah, I'sdoing like a bunch of Toronto and stuff.
But I mean, you know,when you think about it, Okay,
so just from a New Orleans standpoint, you've got three shows Taylor Swift
in the super Dome. Okay,that's in October of next year, in
twenty twenty five that following winter wehave the super Bowl. There's gonna be

(20:37):
more people here for Taylor Swift thana super Bowl. Yeah, there will.
You're you're absolutely right on that.What the hell, dude, Like,
it's insane what she is pulling off? And I don't know how she's
doing it, and I don't knowhow they had the balls and the brain's
obviously to figure out. Okay,wait a minute, Taylor Swift, let's
just put her in fucking stadiums anddo like three four nights per city and

(21:00):
just change the economic makeup of thatentire city for a week. Like,
how did they know that that wasgonna happen? I wonder, though,
I mean, I don't think anything'sbothering them. But right now, Metallica's
running around, right, and theyjust did some kind of show in Saint
Louis. You know, they hadone hundred thousand people there. It's insane

(21:22):
because of the configuration of the stage. How Metallica plays in the round,
right, And I think most people, I mean, I know, we
talk about Taylor Swift and it's mostof this audience, whatever audience we have,
you know, she plays and shekind of probably has the stage somewhere
around the fifteen maybe even the twentyyard line, right, that's where the

(21:44):
stage is, and then that wholeback area is dead. You can't sell
those seats where Metallica playing in theround. Boom man, you can fill
that whole bowl up. You gotpeople on the floor all the way around.
So when it came to Sofi Stadium, they have the record for the
most people. That's right. Whydoesn't Taylor Swift at the most people.

(22:04):
She's got the most people over sixnights by far, She's played to the
most people in that stadium by far. But when it comes to a single
night show or Metallica with their twonights, you know they can play to
more people, right, Taylor Swift? Does she need all of that shit
behind her? Can she? Can? You imagine them even trying to make
more money and like put her inthe round and even pack in another twenty

(22:29):
thousand people for per show. Shecould. She could twenty thousand people per
show at one thousand dollars a seat. You do the math. That's what
she's missing out on. I mean, she's not missing out on much,
okay billion, but I'm just yeah, I'm just you know, get every
seat sold, man. I meaneven at that point, you're like,
you know, it's like it soundslike if you could borrow their stage.

(22:52):
Right. It's like when people alwayssay, well, you know, once
you're certain, you know you're wealthyor rich, you know, why do
you care about more money? Becauseyou always want more of everything? I
mean, why wouldn't you want moremoney? You know, why put all
the effort in and not maximize everything, whether it's it's seven dollars or seven
million dollars, you maximize it,you know what I mean, like like
make it so economically makes a helpout more sense. She's like giving bonus

(23:14):
when it was one hundred thousand dollarsper bus driver and shit like everyone on
her crew, the semi driver,the semi truck drivers, Fuck yeah,
gave them a gave like one hundredgrand. That's why people love that lady.
Damn, she's so fucking smart.And you know what I saw years
ago with my daughter and she wasgreat, man. I mean I could
sha't my bag of tricks, butshe's fucking great live. I mean,

(23:37):
if you somehow get your ass aticket, I'm not even kidting go because
she's great. She's fucking great man. What uh, let's go back over
to the sphere really quick. Youknow, we all have our wish lists,
but it also has to be somewhatmakes sense. You know. You
just can't go plucking stuff out ofthe air. But ac DC, Yeah,

(24:00):
Brian Johnson is seventy six years old. Now, yeah, that's a
tough one. They don't want tobe out on the road, do they.
That's a beating. That's all they'vedone other lives, I know,
But seventy six a man, Sothat's what that's I'm just throwing it out
there. Residency, Yeah, they'dbe great sphere or you know, anywhere

(24:22):
in Vegas really anywhere. But thesphere you know is I think ac DC
is globally, you know, Ithink they're big enough. Oh you could
do a couple of months run.They could do a couple of months,
for sure, you know, Ithink I think they are. I think
they could do a couple of months, and that would be so fucking cool.
Think about the shit they could do, well, the graphics with the
cannons and all the bells and theshit. That would be really really cool

(24:45):
to see how they pull that off. That would add a whole nother element
to an ac DC show, whichis already great. And that's the that's
the thing you But the thing aboutac DC, the things that you just
mentioned, the bell and the cannonand all of that, those are actual
props and a whole lot of rosyand that big inflatable it would all just

(25:07):
be on the screen. It's sominimal. There's not even there's not even
an amplifier on stage with you two. They're playing on this turntable and it's
just the four guys to say,and there's no props or anything. And
one of the things that's great aboutyou two or that ACDC is the actual
they roll out real cannons. Isit gonna be as good with cannons on

(25:33):
the screen? I don't know.I mean, it's hard to say anything's
not great on that fucking spear screen. I just think the creativity that it
opens up would be cool. Youknow, you don't necessarily have to have
cannons on the screen, but youget smoke. You canna have fucking shit
flying around you. You get whoknows man interpret the lyrics before before you
two comes on the stage, itlooks like these huge brick It's like a

(25:55):
brick wall and then they start tocrumble and it looks like the dust is
coming down and everything. It's it'sso the visual, it's so real looking.
Let me ask you this crazy.Remember the old days of Disney World,
you had this one ride where you'dwalk in and you'd stand there and
they had railings. You didn't sitdown and you stood there. I forget

(26:15):
what the damn dumb ride was,but you said, and they put this
video on. It was over theceiling. It's like a three six steep.
This is early days of this technology, dude. There was one in
Niagara Falls. It was called toFly. Yeah, and like you'd be
called two fly and you were inyou were in a sphere and the movie
was all around you and you thoughtyou like you were flying over Niagara Falls.

(26:36):
Yeah, And what it does isthough, but they would warn you,
like, hey, so, likedid you at any time feel like
sick or vertigo or anything like that, because sometimes that could be a problem
in a big day like that.But what you're talking about, I got
sick as shit going to see themovie was called to Fly, right right,
But then I you know, butthen I went to the one at

(26:56):
Disney where London and I were inthe seats. Oh yes, and it
looked like that. It looked likemy I felt like my feet I was
going to kick the top of theEiffel Tower. Look, we're were going
to make it. Fucking We're notgonna make it. We're not gonna make
it. We're not gonna make it. We just made it over the Eiffel
Tower. You know, So youdon't feel like that. There's no roller

(27:18):
coaster feel, at least in thefour hundred levels with you know, with
a couple of sixty dollars, youknow, gen and tonics in me.
I did not have that feeling atall. I get motion sickness. I
can't go out on a boat.I can't go deep sea fishing. I
can't do any of that shit.You're a little bit you can't do anything
fun. The hell didn't. Ididn't feel like that at all. I
didn't. It is just it wasjust amazing. That was it. It

(27:41):
was just amazing because I know there'sbeen times when I've been at Imax and
if shit gets wild in a moviescene, know like I gotta close my
eyes and be like, whoa fuckman, I can take a knee here?
What the hell's happening. Yeah,that's why I was like, oh
shit, I would have just foundthat money and sit there to be like
fucking losing my mind because I gotmotion sickness eight hundred dollars later and seventy
dollars drinks. I mean fucking sixtydollars high balls, and I'm like on

(28:03):
the floor crying. That would suck. Wasn't drinking high balls? Jackass?
Hey, give me a couple ofHarvey Wallbangers, Hey, and Gin and
Tonics. Shit, can you getsome Martini's over here? Bonnic guy?
Bro, that's good. It's delicious. So uh man, Yeah, I

(28:25):
gotta I'm dying. I want toget out to I just like going to
Vegas. I said, you sentme some pictures you on Fremont Street.
I fucking love dirty old Fremont Street. The Golden Nugget and that smells like
hot piss and there's old ladies andshit and it's smoke and I love that
old Vegas shit. About eight yearsI think I told you. I said,
dude, I've been out here.It looks We were texting and I
said, dude, it looks totallydifferent. I haven't been here since the

(28:49):
kid so pre COVID kid five six, seven, seven, eight years that
I hadn't been to Vegas. You'relike, really, I love that place.
What do you go all the time? Dean Martin, No, I've
been. I think three times.I went a few years ago. My
wife got a deal through work andwe went out there and that was fucking

(29:10):
awesome. Another time I went anduh, Jennifer Lopez was doing a residency.
My wife's a huge fans, sowe went out to that surpriser,
took her out there. It wasfucking wild. But yeah, now Vegas
is good man. I just digand then we you know, I don't
gamble because I don't have money,and I suck at it. So I
kind of learn a long time agomaybe that's not for me. So like
we'll go out and have drinks andfuck around, but then we'll go see

(29:32):
the shows. But then like yougo and they got like these tours you
can do with the mountains, themountain range out there, and you can
fucking hike and do all that bullshit. So it's like, oh, go
sweat out the Harvey wallbangers. You'redrinking out in the goddamn mountains there,
which is beautiful as well. I'vedone it every which way. You know
how we talk about New Orleans.You can do it wild, or you

(29:55):
can do it mild marty grass,families, titties, different sets, actions
of town, all of that.Vegas you can do many different ways.
And I've done bachelor parties out there, and I've gone out there. Hal
and I went out there and wewrote Dune Buggies. We just got our
own doom buggy. We ran rollingaround in the desert with that was amazing.

(30:18):
Yeah, I don't really, I'mnot a big gambler. I gambled
a little bit. You know.Some people want to go and sit down
and go like have like some kickass dinner. I don't care. Here's
what I want to do. Andyou know I went with you know,
my buddy, our buddy, Emmett. You've known EMMITTT forever and uh And
I said, dude, I wantto walk. I've never traveled with him

(30:40):
before. This is weird because youknow, you're going on a trip with
somebody and you never really travel withthem, and everybody's different. Oh yeah,
And I said, dude, Ireally I like in Vegas. I
want to get up. I said, if you're going to, you know,
lay around and you want to takesome time just to relax. I
get that. But I'm going towake up and I'm gonna head out the
fucking front door and I'm just gonnastart walking. He's like, no,

(31:04):
man, I'm down for that.And dude, we I mean Aria almost
down to Circus Circus. I meanlike I walk like I it's I love
it. I absolutely love walking fast. I love being outside. It's that
dry air. It's about seventy itwas like seventy three degrees and sunny.
Bock this man, grab a beer, walk and let's go. I just

(31:27):
want to walk. I'm just nota lay around. And again, there's
another way to do Vegas is goand you sit around and get a cabana
and spend a million dollars and beby the pool. You know, Okay,
you know what I mean. Like, I'm just the nerd. I'm
gonna lace up and I'm gonna fuckingget outside. And I was only there
two days and I did it bothdays. You know. Yeah, I

(31:48):
wanted to walk. Man, Idon't care. I'll sit down a play
a blackjack, you know, I'lldo some of that, But that's not
it's not important to me. No, No, it's it's it's going man.
I last and we went. Wewere like at one end of the
strip, and then my wife's like, hey, we didn't ride the New
York New York roller Coaster yet.I'm like, it's like fucking eleven o'clock
at night, and I'm like,she's like, we gotta go. And

(32:09):
we just fucking hum all the waydown this strip because we gotta ride the
goddamn roller coaster, which, bythe way, fucking great. But it's
like, holy shit, man,it's like that's the kind of Vegas we
do. It's like, we doall of that stuff. I'm not going
out to my wife. It ain'tgonna be Wolf of Wall Street, you
know what I mean. I mean, it ain't gonna be like that when
I go with the wife. It'sjust not it's gonna be a little more

(32:30):
mellow then you'd want to be,you know what I mean. But then
there's nothing wrong with and we havea fucking blast. But yeah, I
gotta gotta get back to Vegas,man, I gotta get out there.
I got to. I feel weirdthat it's been that long since I've been.
It's just you know, it's it'sa good vibe. It's a good
vibe, and you know, there'sa lot of similarities. So when the

(32:53):
last time I came into New Orleansand uh, I had a couple of
buddies and my buddy Chris got hisbrother Paul to come, and Paul's walking
around with us in New Orleans andat one point we're walking, you know,
we had a couple of beers andhe just grabbed me. He's like,
dude, thank you. I hadto kind of get on his ass.

(33:14):
I'm like, Paul, you're fuckinggoing just go just work it out.
Well, you know, my kidsand the wife and it's just a
guy's trip, and I go,just work it out, dude, work
it out. Come, spend theweekend. Okay, in and out.
We're just doing a weekend. Hegrabbed me at some point, like on
Saturday. We had a couple ofbeers in us. He's like, thank
you for staying on me. Hegoes, I hadn't been here in a

(33:37):
number of years. Same thing whatI'm talking about in Vegas. He's like,
I just he goes, I usedto come here all the time.
And he said, I'm so happyI'm here right now. I'm so glad
I'm here. Sometimes you just needsomeone to nudge you a little bit,
right. And he was like asolid no, And I'm like, dude,
come on, man, come onPaul. And his brother's like,

(33:58):
dude, just text him again.I'm like, I don't want him to
get maa. He goes, pleasetext him again, and we talked him
into doing it, and then hegrabbed me. He said, thank you
for pushing me because I hadn't beenhere in so many years. And he
goes and he said, he goes, I forgot how much I love New
Orleans. And I had that samething going on when I'm walking around Vegas.
God damn, I forgot how muchI love it here. Yeah,

(34:19):
yeah, it's it's it's cool,man, it's and those are two.
I mean, obviously I live hereand I get it, but like,
like, there's something about Vegas thatI can go to multiple times. There's
very few cities I can do that. I could go to La, but
even La you kind of run outof a couple of things after a while
because it's so spread out. Youknow, there's so much shit so far
away. You know, you canonly go down to like the Rainbow and
the Whiskey. You do that littletrip that's only a couple hours, you
know what I mean, And thenyou go out to the Santa Monica pier

(34:42):
Venis beeech Okay, you did that, you know what I mean, Like
you could do shit, but it'slike so spread out and I do like
La but Vegas it's all compact.New Orleans, French Quarter compact. You
know, any other city you gottawander over the fucking place. You know,
as far as the United States goes, it's a little bit different that
they're good walking cities. I mean, Boston's a great walking city. Yeah,

(35:02):
Chicago's a great walking city. NewYork but it's just we don't get
to walk as much. And Ialways tell I always say, you know,
walking. I know you're a bigrunner, but walking is our superpower.
It's our it is ours, it'sit's it's now. I get it.
Not every single person can, butmost of us can walk, and

(35:24):
you know, you don't do itenough. And it's something that I just
the one thing that I did noticebecause man, I used to be able
to walk all day New York Cityall day, get up the next day,
walk all day, didn't stop,and you know, I was like
a machine fifty four the next morningafter walking all day, I mean,

(35:45):
I mean walking all day, thengoing to YouTube, getting up, I'm
like, okay, I gotta likemy fucking calves. We're so tight.
I'm like, who the fuck waskicking me in the calves all night?
It was Bono? Did bon comein here and just fucking bite my calves?
So you drink many? You drankall those pina coladas. Dude,

(36:08):
that's gonna affect your calves, andI mean, really shit. So I
got up and I forced myself todo it, and I just boom,
went out and did it again andwalked again for hours, dude, for
hours. It's the only way togo, man it It is the only
way. It's the only way tosee anything. Man. You gotta get
your ass out walk. I meanI know it even now, Like I'm
like, you know, if Igo a few days of walk in the

(36:28):
quarter doing shit, I'm like,oh man, the old bounce back ain't
quite there, you know what Imean. It's like what happened? But
I still go. But it's Iused to a little more walking running.
I got tired, you know,walking. I would never get tired.
I would just keep going, going, going. And now I was like,

(36:50):
wow, shit, that was alot of walking yesterday. I mean,
but I wouldn't let it beat me. I would not let it beat
me. No, no, no, no no. Well that's because we
could have gone down to the pooland just hung out at the pool and
then just started doing super sonics rightout of the gates and just go,
let's go walk, Let's go walk, and I and I did it well

(37:12):
speaking of walk, and this isa shitty segue, but I'm gonna do
it anyway. Shout out to MisfitRock Club. That's their that's their handle

yeah, yeah, yeah, no, that one. I missed that
one, that one and that one. So as we're talking about fall,

(40:15):
it is going to kind of playinto a little bit with our top five.
But fifteen days until Thanksgiving, fortyseven days until Christmas, I was
a little rocked. I was alittle rocked this week that mashed potatoes.
On one Polster questionnaire, mashed potatoeshave overtaken stuffing as the number one side

(40:40):
for Thanksgiving? What mashed potatoes over? You can have those separate. This
is just me. I have stuffingone time a year, and every time
I eat it because well one timeof year, not one day, because
eat the leftovers, right. Butit would be like that even when I

(41:04):
was younger and we would grow up, we'd be eating stuffing and somebody's gonna
say, you know what, thisis so good, why don't we have
this some other time? Why don'twe have stuffing? And we never ever
ever make stuffing. That's what makesit so special. That's why it's the
fucking goat of sides, mashed potatoesand gravy. That shit does roll with
a bunch of other things throughout theyear. I'm sorry, every day you
could have it every day but itis now the number one side dish.

(41:28):
Bro, what kind of bland assmooks are fucking eating mashed potatoes like more?
Now we have it every year.It's there or some sort of potato
side dish. My mother law makesa great potato side dish that is delicious.
But look, I love my motherin law and I love what her

(41:50):
dish tastes like. But give mesome stuff like, man, because it's
like you said, it's fucking likeone time of year. That's it,
man, it's the one time.And I don't care if it's corn,
if it's dressing, if it's inthe turkey's ass, I don't care how
you cook it. It's just it'sstuffing. So we agree that that's the
fucking goat like that is the numbertwo turkeys the goddamn star. There was

(42:12):
another crazy thing where people saying,just give me the sides. It's like,
come on, and then we haveto do with the turkey. Come
on, turkey and stuffing. That'sThanksgiving turkey and stuffing. The street name
of the day is Turkey Day.Okay, the street it's not mashed potato
Day, it's Turkey Day. Turkey. I mean, you could you consider
and go, what's your what youknow, what's your your off the top

(42:35):
of your head, your top threefor Thanksgiving. It's gonna be turkey,
it's gonna be stuffing. And cranberrysauce just comes to mind because it's there.
I don't eat it, but it'sthere. I do eat it.
I do eat it. I dolove it. What we did not grow
up with, which was the numberthree side, was mac and cheese,
and we did not. That wasn'ta part of our Thanksgiving growing up.
No, no, no, no, no. Cheese was a mac and

(42:58):
cheese never segued into adulthood back homeuntil you started going out to nice restaurants
in New Orleans and they had likesome lobster mac and cheese or whatever,
like like you guys eat mac andcheese, like that's a little kid dish.
Well, then it kind of becamelike this cool side dish at nice
restaurants, right, Or it wasn'tthat. It wasn't that place right right

(43:22):
right? What's the ziggy place orthe Carlos and Charlie's or something. Carlo's.
Yeah, I believe it's that's what. Yeah, I know it's Rocky
and Carlos Rocky and Carlos. SoI got like, you gotta get this
or you don't eat mac and cheese. You think mac and cheese is a
kiddie thing. This is killa.You gotta eat some of this. And
then they put some red gravy onit and what else. I'm like,
Okay, fuck is this stuff is? Tec and cheese was nationally Mac and

(43:45):
cheese was number three, and thenyou got your green bean castle roll and
then cranberries. So I mean,you know, they're interchangeable after the stuffing.
After the stuffing, it's interchangeable tome. No, okay, Well
think of it this way. Ifyou you know, you go back for
seconds now. Usually it's like I'llfry turkeys, so like the turkey gets

(44:07):
hammered right because it's so great,it tastes great. People go back for
seconds of the turkey. You goingback for seconds of mashed potatoes. You're
going back for seconds of the stuffing. Me, it's like, give me
some more stuffing. Give it tome. Oh, I don't care if
it's fucking stovetop stuffing. I'll eatthat shit too. I love it.
I gotta give it to I thinkit was Melissa Hyde. She said,

(44:29):
game changer. Take some stuffing,put it in a motherfucking waffle iron and
heat it. Reheat it that way, and you make a stuffing waffle and
you put gravy over it. Fuckfat boy, fat boy. As soon
as I read that, Fat Boy, I started to salivate when she when

(44:52):
I read that email this morning,Oh what a brilliant thing. That's how
you reheat it. Hah. Youput it in the waffle iron. Yeah,
and then boom, you serve itup and puts it like gets a
little crispy on the outs. Ohmy god, Jesus Christ, a stuffing
waffle and then you can serve it. You can wash it down with a
Tom Collins and you're gonna shut up. Put on some Betty Goodman in the

(45:19):
back, and you got yourself alittle vegas drip all over again. Man,
wash it down with your carrot juice. I ask, Wow, stuffing
good? You know it's funny,go back to I was a little rocked
at that. I mean, I'mglad that I don't have to quit this
podcast. That you agree that stuffingis the top side. But like macaroni
and cheese was, like you said, it was the fucking box with the

(45:42):
orange dust and the milk, andthat was it. That was macaroni and
cheese. And then like, yeah, you're right, you kind of didn't
have it after a certain age athome except for very rarely. And it
wasn't gonna be a side dish atThanksgiving. Man, there's way too much
to any too many grandmothers and auntsand uncles and moms running around to be,
yeah, bring that box of shitover here, We're going to add
that to the thing. It wasnever that. It was always potatoes,

(46:07):
stuffing beans, cranberry sauce, cornbread. I thanks, I'll never forget
it. And I know she listensoccasionally, So if Ma mc guinty's listening.
Our very first Thanksgiving, when youand I first moved out of Buffalo,
your parents came in for Thanksgiving,yep, and your mom came to

(46:30):
me because she wanted to, youknow, she wanted to get everything right.
She's like, is there something thatit was going to be everybody's first
Thanksgiving away from home. She's like, is there anything that you need?
You know, if we're having Thanksgiving? Like, what is it that you
need? And I said, well, I go, you know, anything
you make, anything that you know, I think we all kind of pitched
in. But whatever whatever we haveis gonna be great. She's like,

(46:50):
but is there anything that you needon that table? And I said,
well, to be honest with you, I said, it might sound a
little weird, but Celery sticks creamcheese in them. She goes done,
She said, done, that's whatyou need. But she it wasn't unfamiliar
to her. No, there waswe had all the time. It was

(47:12):
that she would do some with creamcheese and she put peanut butter in the
other ones. Remember growing up.Okay, yeah, that was our thing.
Yesh, she did it all thetime. Yeah, so when you
asked, she was like, godit doing it again. So I'm a
latent life peanut butter. So Ididn't eat peanut butter as a kid,
so I didn't do that. ButI'm familiar with the concept with the celery.
But the celery and cream cheese,and then my mom would put like

(47:36):
some walnuts in some of them.But once a year. Again, there
was never ever. I mean,I think the fancy name was called stuff
celery. And you think, likeI mean growing up, like I've I've
since made it and I like addeda little shit put a little Tony saturies
or something in that creamy something.You think anything was ever added? Nothing,

(47:58):
It was just cream cheese in that. And your mom said, Okay,
boom, that will be on thetable. So I love your mom
for that. That was our veryfirst Thanksgiving away, and you know it
was awesome. She's like, tellme what you need. Yeah, you're
not going to be home. Wecouldn't, you know, we had to
work, So you're not gonna behome. What needs to be on that
table? And that was the onething that I said, and she said,
I'll make that happen. Thank youmc guinty if you're listening. And

(48:21):
you said with me, have someslow gin phizzes too, and then we'll
have a good night. Yo,I said, a twist of lime.
What are you doing storying this?I like it, shaking, Mamma guinty
shaking. I do remember getting prettydrunk. So that's a good old passioned
Thanksgiving. Me. If you ain'ttoasted by the end of Thanksgiving, what's
the point? You know what Imean? Like, you gotta get ripped
up after Thanksgiving because everybody got along. Nobody fucking talked politics or anything like.

(48:45):
Yeah, you just drink and havefun. Man. Oh, I
can remember Thanksgivings when I was akid. Man. My grandfather come over,
my grandmother come over. My grandfathersmoked and fucking you know. My
mom like anybody's house, right,you're gonna it's Thanksgiving time, clean up
your room. We got a vacuum, we got a dust it's gonna be
nice people coming over us clean up. And my mom had like this one

(49:07):
lone old lone wolf ash trade thatshe busts out every time. My grandfather
come over. And he would sitthere and just fucking smoke and tell cool
stories. And we watched football inthe same old thing every holiday, and
and then it just be like twodays of complaining about the smoking shit.
But you know what, it's thosethings that you remember that like at the

(49:30):
time, you're just like, yeah, that's fucking awful. It's blue like
that. You can see the bluehaze in our fucking basement where we're hanging
out. Our houses were small too. They they weren't built to have big
family dinners and shit, we hadeight foot ceilings. There's seven feet down
in the base. It was builtfor the four guintis that lived there.
It wasn't built to have all thesepeople over and our same. Yeah,

(49:52):
it was great about it because peoplestanding and eating off of paper plates on
their laps some night, you did. I've had those things. Get I've
had some wild ones and it's great, you know what, that's what's cool
about It doesn't matter. But yeah, stuffing dudemm No, okay, And
again you can even sit there andsay, you know, why don't we
have this rest of ye why don'tyou do turkey the rest of the year.

(50:12):
I could easily fry turkeys in June. They're out there, you can
go get one. They're delicious,they feed a lot. No, I
know, I won't do I've neverdone a turkey outside of November and December,
nor have I. It would befucking dope though. It would be
killer and be so delicious, soawesome, dude, chilling by the pool,
just a turkey in the oven,I don't care. It would be

(50:35):
awesome. Now the oven, Iunderstand, because it's the summer. You
don't want to heat up the house, you know, you want to use
the oven as less as possible.That's why you want to cook outside.
So yeah, frying a turkey inthe summer would be fucking amazing. I
just never even it never crosses mymind. Hey man, let's fry turkey
turkey sandwiches by the pool. Killer, think about some frying a turkey.

(50:57):
You're eating that delicious turkey by thepool. Well, maybe someone brings out
of Manhattan and you're just fucking living. You're just living out there. Brother.
Just he's having so much fun withthat folks. I sometimes you just
gotta let him finish. It's justonce I start, I can't stop.

(51:22):
I can't start humping your law,humping your leg. Sometimes you just gotta
let him finish. You gotta letme finish. And sometimes I got stamming.

So are our top five songs aboutdark? Yeah? Because daylight Saving
singular time ended this past weekend.I used to complain about it a lot

(52:07):

Now, there's a lot of peoplethat have no problem with the motherfucking
sun going down at five point thirty. Okay, eh, okay, hot
topic. Guy with your what doyou got a fucking bunch of scorpions and

(52:30):
tarantulas in aquariums in your house?I want some sun in my life,
Okay, I want the sun.I want the sun out till after eight.
I want it like that. Thedays already get shorter in the wintertime,
and then to make it worse,we adjust the clock so that the
sun goes down now at five pointthirty. Fuck. And I'm a guy

(52:52):
that gets out of work early,okay, So I can't even imagine somebody
that works nine to five. Ifyou actually are going into work, you're
working, let's just say nine tofive, you're driving home. By the
time, you're hanging out with yourkids, your family or whatever it is
you're gonna do, and it's dark. Yeah, No, I never understood
it. Come on, I neverunderstood it, because, like you know,
most people, most people you know, you're you're rolling out of word

(53:14):
five six, seven, o'clock.Well, shit, five o'clock is dark.
You know. I always think aboutkids in school. You know,
you go to school and then youknow it gets dark at five o'clock.
You know, I think of me. You know, don't have to be
selfish, but I think of meRod when I was a kid, you
can every now and then, Ihad to be home at dark. Now
in the summertime, shit, Iwas out until ten o'clock some nights.

(53:34):
It was great, you know,but once that time change, Bitch,
five o'clock. My buddy's are outthere having a blast, and I'm like,
it's fucking dark. I gotta go. Where you go it's five o'clock.
I'm like, I got to go. It's dark. That's my rules,
man, I gotta go home atdark. So I kind of gave
a little teaser, or as ourfriends Stagger used to say, I dropped
a little epitees on our Facebook pageand I said, hey, we're recording

(53:59):
pot one or two tonight favorite darksongs. I just left it at that,
and I was reminded that some peopledon't want to talk about this,
and Nathan de Lord does not wantto talk about this on our Facebook page.
I'm so tired of people complaining aboutthe time change. The days will
get shorter in the winter, regardlessof the time change. Get over it

(54:21):
now. He's right, He's totallyright. You a message right now,
Nathan. Dear Nathan, you motherpound out a message to him. But
it doesn't bother them, and it'sokay. But there is something called SAD
seasonal effective disorder. It's a realthing. I don't know that I have
it. I just fucking don't likeit. No, And why do we
do it to ourselves? What's thepurpose? I don't it's a self inflicted

(54:45):
thing. We don't have to dothis. The sun will rise, the
sunset's been going on for millions ofyears. So we just lighter and safer
for children in the morning. I'veheard that goofy ass fucking are now.
But that's what's going to happen.Somebody's going to d m us and say,
well, dude, you know they'redoing away with it. Blah blah
blah blah blah. Hang, they'renot doing away with shit. It got

(55:07):
caught up in the House. Ibelieve the House said yes, they passed
it, and then the Senate said, fuck this, we're not doing this
so obviously the House is awesome andthe Senate sucks, but it got caught
up. The Senate's got it's gotto go and pass. There so breaking
news from our n N, theRodney News Network. The House is great,

(55:30):
the Senate sucks. Okay, backto the regular schedule program. Thanks
for getting in RNN. I knowthat's why. I know, that's why
people come to this pod. Youknow, they want to hear my hot
political takes. That was a goodone. I liked it that. That's
pretty good. It's been talked about. You know, it's been talked about.
There's you know, there's things inlife that I'm just going to go
through my whole life and I'm nevergoing to get it. I'm going to

(55:52):
probably have to change the clock twicea year. I'm never going to get
trick or Treating day on the lastSaturday in October. And I'm not going
to move Super Bowl Sunday to SuperBowl Saturday or have the day after Super
Bowl a holiday. Those things arenot going to happen. Some people are
going to continue to put pulp andorange juice. I'm gonna have to live

(56:13):
my life, Okay, I'm goingto have to go on and be brave,
and I will. But I'm justmentioning that I would like the time
change thing to go away. Whatwould be awful is if they took it
away and they kept us on thistime all year round. Then don't fuck

(56:35):
with it, because this is whatwe're on right now is standard time.
Oh, this is this is thetime. Daylight Saving Time is making the
adjustment. Now we're going back towhat we are at now, standard time.
My fear is that we go tothis all year round, which these

(56:57):
would be longer in the summer,but they wouldn't be as long, right
because you get up later and shit. Yeah, so now I'm I'm gonna
be that fucking annoying. I wantit. I don't want the clocks to
change, but I want them setat daylight Saving time. It's gotta be
those two things working together otherwise nofucking deal for me. I don't know
if it's an older dude thing orwhat it is, but like I have,

(57:20):
all of a sudden the last coupleof years, gotten in tune with
when the sun comes up. I'mgetting up like and and that's that.
There's no like me sleeping. Itain't happening. It's like the sun comes
up, let's go. Like there'sfarmers listening to this podcast. I'm sure
they're in their combine right now,just chip chipping away at the fucking wheat,
and they're like, bitch, Idon't care about time. I get

(57:42):
up when the sun comes up,because you gotta make hey when the sun
is shining, you know what Imean. So if you can figure out
a way to just run your life, obviously your your fucking schedule's crazy,
But like time is just bullshit.Man, if the sun comes up,
you want to be outside, getup, get up, go, you
know what I mean. Like ifI go to the beach in the summertime,
I kind of just let I fuckingtime doesn't matter, you know,

(58:05):
let the earth, Let the earthwake you up, the earth man.
I let the earth work me.I let it work me good. But
yeah, that's kind of it.You know, it's just a self inflicted
thing. We're just fucking with ourselves. We just like to fuck with ourselves.
Well kind of what we're doing.Oh, I know, you got
school schedules, you got kids,and you got fucking jobs, and there's
expectations and all that bullshit. Butlike if you can figure out a way

(58:25):
and not have to have all thatshit. Man, you just roll time
how you want it. We're gonnado our top five songs, and I
just put songs about dark, darknessdark in the title because I'm taking some
liberties here. Oh, I amtaking some liberties with this list, and

I wanted to, but I stuckto the fucking code. You said,
songs about dark, dark, darkdark. Okay, So I went
so night is out because there's abillion songs about night that I would have
loved. The grab I did,I went nowhere near night. Okay,
good, all right. I keptit dark, and I still was able

(01:01:07):
to stretch out a little bit darkmeat, white meat, dark meat or
white meat on your turkey, whitemeat all the way. Fuck that dark
meat. I just hear who wantsthis shit? But there's always like that
one person in the family. Myfather in law loves the dark meat.
He'll tell you it's juicier. Theythink that we're eating the dry meat,
like that white meat is dry.Everybody knows that it's you know, the

(01:01:30):
dark meat probably is juicier. Butit's all veiny and shit grizzle and chewing
on like a super Bowl. It'slike, yeah, shit, man,
like this, I'll grind I'll grindit up and put it in some turkey
salad or something like that. Ifit's incorporated into something, you know,
the turkey gumbo, whatever it's,I'm fine with it. But if I'm
just gonna eat a piece of turkey, it's gonna be fucking from that turkey

(01:01:53):
breast, right, Yeah. Absolutely. But it's like, it's always fun
to go to Thanksgiving, especially whenif you get to somebody's else's house there's
other family members or whatever, andlike me, I like, I like
to stand around. I want tosee who's gonna go for the dark meat,
and I want to see that who'sthe wing nut that goes after the
wing in the in the leg,Like who's the who's the weirdo in the
family, you know, And I'mlike, okay, it's you. And

(01:02:14):
I always cut because i mean,nine times out of ten i'm cooking the
turkey, I'm cutting up the turkey. So I will always here's the white
meat and here's the dark meat.You know, you get people the choice
and I don't the dark meat.People really do feel like they've got this
thing figured out. They're like,great, they know that most people want
the white meat. They're they're finewith it. They really feel like they've

(01:02:37):
cracked the fucking code on Turkey becauseit's no one's fighting over that part usually,
right, it's like you're just you'rejust chewing on it front hour,
You're like, go ahead, Ican't even swallow this ship man, what's
going on over here? Walking around? I could chew it away, cheeks
out to here like a squirrel ofthe fucking pack of nuts. All right,
so you want to go first,I will go first. I don't

(01:02:59):
want you to get mad at me. Well if you fucking went into the
night world because I did not,I want to go night because no,
so no white snake still of thenight. Oh oh, that had been
a good one, though. Igotta say, Okay, well you could
have used that. I guess.I mean, what am I gonna say?
I said, it's dark, it'sgetting I sent you an email today,

(01:03:21):
I said, bro, it's fuckingsunset at five thirty. We did
time, I looked it up.I did do a little research. We
did time songs. Do you remember? Yeah? That one was hard too.
Okay, songs about time songs thatmentioned time because I think we were
talking about the clocks, right,So I knew that was already off the

(01:03:42):
table. I just couldn't believe that, like fucking sunset at five thirty.
It's fucking infuriating to me. It'slike, you know, and then Nathan
doesn't want us talking about it.Well, guess what. I'm not over
it. You're telling me to getover it, Nathan. I cannot get
over it. Okay, I've tried. I've brought up what do you like
better, white meat or dark meat, just to get you off the fucking

(01:04:02):
night thing, and we went rightback to I feel less productive. You
know. It's like, okay,five thirty, no more sun It's time
to fucking wind this thing down.It's only five thirty. We're not winding
shit down. But see, here'sthe thing. If I was like younger
and like all I would do islike work at the radio station during the
day, and then it's like fivethirty. Fuck, let's look at some
beers. I'm good. Yeah,that's cool man. I'm all for the

(01:04:26):
night. I love nighttime. Idon't want night time to be five thirty.
All right, we gotta move on. I can't keep doing this,
all right. I can't get overit. Dark songs because I'm not happy
about it getting dark at number five, Billy Squire in the Dark have the
same fucking list? Are we gonnaon the same list? The same list?

(01:04:49):
I'm gonna say, we're gonna havefour to the same songs, the
sad I'm going four four songs willbe the same. Okay, no tune
great? So it might be myfavorite Billy Squire song in the dum Yeah,
it might be my favorite Billy Squiresong in four. I felt like

(01:05:13):
I could have chosen any song Iwanted, but I'm putting The Darkness on
my list. The band The Darkness. You know what the best song on
that debut album is I Believe ina thing called love so great. That's
how I'm getting away with this.I'm choosing the band called The Darkness now
is get your hands off my woman? Mother fuck? It might be better.

(01:05:39):
It gonna have some good songs.That whole first album is awesome,
and you know what the second albumnot so much. You know, Harold,
But you know you know who Iride with? Justin Hawkins Rides again.
You watch his podcast ever fucking great. I love that dude, man,
He's like, really Hawkins rides good. I can't do it, obviously,
but I love him, man,I like him breaking down songs and

(01:06:01):
you can tell he's really knowledgeable andhe brings out the guitar and plays along.
You know, I listen, thisis me Santa Claus sitting at Macy's
sending it over to Gimbals. Youcan listen to other podcasts. Okay,
I'm just giving to the freedom.You don't have to just listen to ours.
Wait, Justin Hawkins is great,dude. You just compare us to

(01:06:23):
Macy's and Justin Hawkins as Gimbals.Man, we didn't even we even have
pissed up guy on the court bringinga bell. We're not even that guy.
Okay, So squire the Darkness,nice one. I like that.
It's good. I believe in athing called love. Yeah, I free.
You're right. I know we're gonnaboth have this. Look ouch,

(01:06:44):
Ronnie James Dio Rainbow in the Dark. It's so great and the you know
what, you should let that songkind of be your mantra this time of
year, like look for the RainbowRodney in the dark. Uh Okay,
I thought you were going to somehownerve up another old cocktail there. You're

(01:07:08):
really just gonna leave that wide open. I'm gonna leave it wide open,
I'll save it. Simon and GarfunkelSound of Silence, Hello Darkness, my
old friend, Oh shit, niceone. Yeah, opening line of the
song. Yeah. And I feellike maybe people got sick of it because
Disturbed was in heavy rotation everywhere.But I went back and listened to it

(01:07:30):
today. It's brilliant. I'm ahuge Simon and Garfunkle fan. Those two
men singing together outside of family members. There's something about brothers that sing.
You know, the Beg's and whenyou hear the guys an Oasis and you
hear the guys in the Black Crows, siblings, you know, siblings when

(01:07:51):
they sing together, it's it's justnext level. You can't get there,
the carpenters, all of that.If you look at the history of sibling
in a band, they sing likeno other right, And you would think
that Simon and Garfunkel were related howwell they sing together. But you can
tell they're not related because their voicesare so different. But the blending of

(01:08:12):
those two instruments, it's just thatoriginal song. Because I'm burnt Undisturbed,
I'm really burnt on that, butit's it's still it's an amazing cover Number
one and this is where this hitme, and I said, oh shit,
I'm gonna take some shit from JasonGuinty on This no my number one

(01:08:34):
song because it contains the lyric darkmy favorite song lyric of all time.
You don't know this about me,Jesus Christ, here we go, let
me get it Bruce Coburn. Thesong is called Lovers in a Dangerous Time
and the lyric is kick at theDarkness Till It Bleeds Daylight. It is

(01:08:58):
the greatest song lyric and it's theonly time I have ever considered getting a
song lyric tattooed on me. I'venever ever thought of one other band,
one other song lyric. Ever,I use that all the time. I
get it to get a little serious. You get people calling in and they
email me and they're if they're evertalking about addictions or anything like that.

(01:09:21):
I tell people I go, Inever take it as my own. I
said, I'm going to share withyou my favorite song lyric, kick at
the Darkness Till It Bleeds Daylight.It's in the song by Bruce Coburn,
Canadian guy, Lovers in a DangerousTime, A dark lyric Number one for

(01:09:41):
me. I like it. Ilike that that's a good. That's a
good. Okay, we didn't havefour the same we didn't. I think
we had wow, only two?Yeah too. So one other thing that
I want to say about that lyricbecause it's I do. It's just it's
brilliant. There was a Bruce Coburntribute out them. Maybe you heard bar
Naked Ladies cover that song. Itwas like it was early in Baron Naked

(01:10:05):
Lady's career, and the name ofthe album, the tribute to Bruce Koberen
was called kick at the Darkness.There you go. That's that's what they
named the so that that lyric isspecial. And then the final thing I'll
say on it is John Lennon wrotea song God, and you know,
I don't believe in the Beatles.I don't believe in this he always he

(01:10:28):
goes, I believe in Yoko andme and that's it. And you just
kind of shit on everything, youknow. So Bono maybe the only other
guy that could do this. Hewrote a song called God Part two.
Okay, It's like, wow,that's ballsy, right, and it's a
great song and it's not as moroseas John's. But in the in the

(01:10:53):
in the song God. Part twois don't believe in the sixties, the
Golden age of pop you glory orfive the past when the future dries up.
Heard a singer on the radio latelast night. He says he's gonna
kick at the darkness till it bleedsdaylight. I believe in love. Wow,

(01:11:14):
he used that Bono used that lyric. That's pretty great. Part two.
It's great lyrics. It's it's myall time favorite song lyric. I
just think it's absolutely brilliant. Therest of Bruce Coeburn stuff, you know,
h No, I had a rocketlauncher and it's weird songs never was
a favorite of mine, but thatone song and the bearnagd Lady cover of
it is amazing. That's dark dark, dude. So you use that lyric

(01:11:39):
and then you use Rainbow in theDark and you can turn this thing around
on maybe you just you just workit out in your little corner. Don't
keep talking about it, right,so stop stop moping around about the fucking
sun going down. Like Nathan deLord is gonna be like, hey,
Hi, here's what you're gonna do. You put on fucking Bruce Coburn in
Rainbow in the Dark and you letthe sunshine fly around in your own head
and leave us alone. Flying toNathan right now, you up your Hey,

(01:12:01):
we need all the listener we canget. Love you, Nathan.
Okay, Jason, uh, well, you said you got two of those.
I'm just curious as to where theylanded on your list. Mine is
different. I will say that's anice list. This this was, This
was probably I had to do somedigging on this one. I gotta be
honest, because man, I thought, oh dark, this is gonna be
easy. Then you realize not thatmany songs. There really aren't that many

(01:12:25):
songs that are decent. Oh,there's a lot there is. But well
you'll see number five Billy Squire inthe Dark nineteen eighty one's Don't Say No,
I Love It, Love It.This is almost like of all the
artists that we talk about, andthere's only really four Kis Foo Fighters,
Chris Cornell and Billy Squad Van Halenvan Halen, Oh, okay, there's

(01:12:49):
Fine van Halen over that list.Dude. I don't know. I've had
too much candy or something, theHalloween candies downstairs. I'm trying to finish
it, so I'm just ripping throughit like a man. So I'm like
all jacked up Billy Squire in theDark nineteen eighty one, number five,
number four, and this will bethe one I'll take shit for. But
I'm okay with it because I stilllike the song. Okay, this this

(01:13:11):
is a band. I don't thinkI've ever thought it would be in a
top five for me. Fallout Boy, my songs know what you Did in
the Dark, And at first Ididn't like the song, but when Patrick
Stump is screaming on Fire, Iwent, oh, okay, like it's
so fucking cool. Yeah, it'sa great song. But when he's screaming

(01:13:32):
I'm on Fire, I'm like,yeah, that's kind of a bit of
an old school metal thing right there. I like it. I don't hate
Fallout Boy. I don't hate him. I like Fallout Boy more than I'm
willing to announce right now, whichI just kind of said how much I
like it. That works. Iwent to that Hella megatur them day and

(01:13:53):
they were fucking great. They weregreat. I'll tell you what. You
know what the letdown was the Peatguy the bass play wins. Yeah,
I thought like he was you know, he was the guy that everybody knew,
and uh, he just wasn't.He didn't do it for me,
Like is he didn't good bass playeror something, or like what's the deal?
I would say that he's on theshittier side of a bass player.

(01:14:15):
I guess, um can fucking singhis ass off. And if that guy
in uh, if that Filipino doesn'twork out in Journey, Patrick Stump can
do all that stuff, man,And some of that stuff that he sings
reminds me of Journey. Yes,you can, you get you can?
You can hear the influence there.So yeah, that was number four,
that same tonal quality. But no, that's a great I didn't even think
of that song, So kudos toyou on that. I gotcha, I

(01:14:39):
got you. Number three. We'vetalked about this already. Di O's Rainbow
in the Dark look Out Holy Divernineteen eighty three. Did you know this?
After they recorded the album? Ofcourse back in eighty three, Ump,
you're using the reel, the realtape, the big eight track or
sixteen track tape. Right, theylistened to the playback, the band and
all the producers sitting in the room. They play it back and deal's like

(01:15:00):
I'm taking some fucking razorblazes of thatpiece of shit. He was like gonna
go and slice it up so theycouldn't use the song Rainbow in the Dark.
He thought it was too poppy,it didn't fit Holy Diver. He
wanted to slice it up, andthe band like basically tackled the little guy
and said no, no, no, no, no no no. And
he's kind of obviously happy that theydidn't, but he still fought years later
that it was just too poppy forthat album. Did they did like stick

(01:15:24):
out their hand on his head andhe was like swinging at him. Come
on, little guy, I don'tremember. The Deo documentary is really really
good. I don't remember them coveringthat, so that's a good fun fact.
I don't think I knew that.Yeah, he said that. Look,
he had just come out of beingin Black Sabbath, right, because
he came out of Black Sabbath andwent solo, and he's like, I

(01:15:44):
can't come out of Black Sabbath withall that fucking heavy dark shit and then
make this poppy Rainbow in the Darksong. But like to us today,
it doesn't. I mean, yeah, it's a little more brighter, but
it still rocks you. Know inhis mind though. The big difference is
the keys, you know, yeah, with your stuffing fucking cool right,
you know they're great. They're awesome. It's a great song. I mean,

(01:16:09):
Rainbow in the Dark is awesome.I love ryding games. Yeah,
he's the coolest. Number number three. That was whatever three? Number two
kind of sticking in the same world. Going back to nineteen eighty six,
the Ultimate sin Azsie's Shot in theDark. I had that as your number
one. I wanted to. Ireally love that song. It's it's so

(01:16:30):
great, But my number one hadthat. I think you had that on
your Ossie top five lists. Yeah, probably did. I love that song.
I love that freaking song. Ipay attention to these things sometimes I
don't even pay attention to my eye. I think you had Shot in the
Dark as your in your Assie topfive. Dude, I'm going to blow
your mind with my number one.I think your number one, blue minds

(01:16:50):
mind will blow minds in a differentway and you're gonna be surprised. What
is it dark spelling backwards? Yeah, Crady, I had to really think
about it. Crad. You neverheard of Crad? What is it already?

(01:17:11):
Nobody's gonna listen to this one.I don't think uh. Number one,
Tito and Tarantula. There's a greatsong called after Dark from dusk till
that song Dawn. That is thesong that's playing on Selma Hyak doing her
dance at the Titty Tit Twister downin Mexico, Dusk till Dawn. If
you don't know it, I'm tellingyou look it up on YouTube. That

(01:17:31):
song is so fucking cool and itcan only be played later in the evening
after a few drinks because it's thatgood. Like so you're off the book,
you are totally off the hook.I'm pissed off at Ginty Now a
great song, great great song,ding Ding ding ding, brilliant. It's
brilliant, man, It's And thenthe only other song that I kind of

(01:17:58):
was like, nah, put onmy list. I didn't like it.
I don't like that song that much. But like, if you think about
lyrics, knocking on Heaven's door,it's getting too dark, too dark to
see. Ha ha ha. Okay, you could have used that any version,
not the Dylan, but you coulduse guns and roses. You know.
That was enough for me. Istopped looking after that. Iron made

(01:18:20):
in Fear of the Dark. Yeah, that was their number six. My
number seven was Eddie and the Cruisers. I couldn't bring myself. I fucking
used to love that song, andI'd like to mention something right now.
I believe the man's name is MichaelPere Right. Yeah, it might be

(01:18:43):
the best lip sync job I've everseen in my life. Marky Mark did
a great job in Rockstar of lipsyncing that, but not as good.
That guy sold it that he wasEddie and he was singing those songs.
Okay, I mean Cruisers. It'severy bit as good as was it Rammy
Malick, Oh, Queen in Queen, It's every bit as good as the

(01:19:06):
lip syncing that he does in thatAcademy Award winning performance. The lip syncing,
I remember noticing it when I wasyoung. I have not seen Eddie
and the Cruiser in a hundred years, but I'd like to go back and
watch it. The music was good, Yeah, the music was good.
It was one of those things thatwas on HBO all the time. Yeah,
for a few short years because theyonly had like five movies because they

(01:19:27):
didn't have the rights anything. Soyou hear you watch that, like three
other films all the time? Wasthere there was a part two? Eddie
Lives? Jesus it was there wasa part too, because they left it
open. Remember when they showed thathe died and they released the album and
then people were watching in a storewindow back, you know, like the
old timey when you would watch TVsand the window of a storefront, and

(01:19:51):
they showed his face in the window. I have not seen it. It
meant he was alive, so Ibelieve that is it. I think there
was Eddie and the Cruisers too.Eddie lives. Dude, how do you
remember that? I don't know,dude, I don't know. I don't
fucking know. I remember some things. Oh my god, many too many

(01:20:14):
Singapore slings. Brother, Yeah,there he goes hinga poor slingers. That's
what I was drinking. You're right, you know what I I tripped on
and I got admitted. Before today, I did not know this song.
Eminem does a song called Darkness andif you wanted to go dig into something,
it deals with the mass shooting inVegas and he actually uses a hotel

(01:20:40):
room and then he uses some realfootage in it. There's a warning beforehand,
but Eminem is obviously super powerful doingwhat he does. I mean,
he's the best at it. Buthe also uses sound of silence in there.
Hello Darkness, my old friend,and he's kind of rapping on top
of it, and uh, it'sjust it's so dark. You know,

(01:21:01):
he's creating awareness and at the endthere's a problem and he shows all these
other TVs and it's school shootings,and you know, I don't always want
to look at that stuff, buti'd also don't want to put my head
in the sand. But eminem,the song is called Darkness, and holy
shit, is it powerful. Iwatched it today. I watched the video

(01:21:24):
today and I realized it's a coupleyears old. I saw that in my
digging around. I was like,well, uh nah, I'm gonna keep
moving. I didn't even check itout, but I will check it out
now for sure. Yeah, it'spretty great. It's pretty great. Good
lists, man, I got somelistening to do again. I this these

(01:21:45):
types of lists I'm loving because youknow, when it's your top five Iron
Maiden songs, I know the IronMaiden songs that I like. But when
it's when it's a theme, youstart looking for different things. And that's
where you know, our lists varyand stuff, so I like that.
I don't know. I wish somebodycould just send me a hundred ideas like

(01:22:06):
this so that we can create lists. Yeah, because that's where you get
different songs. Yeah, I reallywas. When you started. I'm like,
oh shit, we're gonna have thesame fucking basic list. I thought
we'd get at least one, orI thought we were gonna have four.
I really did. I'm like,you're gonna have the Aussie in there,
you're gonna have the do O,You're gonna the Billy Squire. And then
I'm like, okay, maybe we'llget a lucky on the other ones.

(01:22:28):
No, man, I was surprisedwe didn't have more on that one.
Yeah, good list, good work. I like that one. Fuck,
let's wrap this up. We don'thave another commercial. I got nothing going
on. It's not a bad thing. You know, it gets dark early.
What are you gonna do? No? I shouldn't have brought that up.
What an idiot I am. Finalthoughts. Veterans Day is on Saturday,

(01:22:56):
Marine Corps Birthday is on Friday.They've been blowing me up for a
three weeks now, they'll blow meup six months out and they'll tell me
just so you know, Rod it'scoming up. I'm like, dude,
it's six months away. Marine guysthey love their birthday. You know,
we love all of our men andwomen in all the service. It's just
those Marine guys. It's just thebirthday just is different with them. I

(01:23:16):
know your brother, and I knowEric. You know you're close with some
Marines. They're just a different breedof people. I love every one of
you, devil dogs. But everyyear, this is my this is our
third year now, and every yeargoing into Veterans Day and Memorial Day,

(01:23:39):
I always mentioned the movie Taking Chance, and most it's more Memorial Day,
but Veterans Day as well. AndI realize we're just celebrating veterans, and
I know the difference between the twoholidays. But I always mentioned the movie
Taking Chance. And I feel likeone person every time I mention it,
they go and they watch that movie. It's Kevin Bacon. It was I

(01:24:00):
think made for HBO, but it'sstreaming somewhere. You can find it out
there, and uh, if you'relooking for something to watch again, you
know, like I love war movies. We did a we did a war
movie. List. I'm sure.I'm sure we have and uh, you
know, and there's greats out there. And if you've never seen, and
I know you'll back all of thisup, you know, if you've never

(01:24:21):
seen Band of Brothers or the Pacificor all that stuff. Man, that
stuff's amazing. You know. Inever served, Jason never served. So
we we we lived through these thingsand stories from our friends and stuff.
So shout out to all the vetsout there and what meant Briggs, to
our buddy Briggs. So these areour like our close close brothers that that
have served. But to everybody outthere veterans day, thank you guys.

(01:24:43):
Yeah, no, that's it's it'suh, it's you know, every time
I see or I see a buddyof mine who I know served, Like
you know, anytime I see Briggs, when I when he comes to town
or I go back home and seehim, I'm just like, you know,
it hits me for a quick second. I don't aways say something,
you know, or any like that, but it's just it hits you,
you know, even if I don'tsay something, because you know, what

(01:25:04):
am I gonna say? Every timeI see the you know, hey,
thanks for serving? I mean maybeI should. I don't know, but
I don't think you would need tohear that. I just know, and
because I recognize it internally, Ifeel like it means something, you know
what I mean. But this timeof year, you definitely should recognize anybody
you know, just even if it'sa quick hey man, you know,
thanks, you know. I willsend those texts out to some some friends

(01:25:27):
this weekend because it's important. Andif you're a fan of New Orleans the
World War Two Museum, they justadded a whole nother wing. I haven't
been in a couple of years,but man, if you haven't been to
the World War Two Museum in NewOrleans, it's expanded. There's way more
shit in there, and like youcould spend like a whole day there,
I mean a whole day. It'sincredible. I mean, it's it's one

(01:25:49):
of the best museums that I've everbeen to. You know, it's really
hard to that September eleventh Museum,just the resources and everything. Jesus Christ,
I mean, the September eleventh Museumin New York City, It's just
unbelievable. But right there is theD Day Museum, and Tesla was just

(01:26:10):
talking about this. You know,Tessa finally made it over to New Orleans
and she really really wants to goto the museum and uh and she said,
yeah, did you hear And Isaid, no, I didn't.
I thank you for you know,mentioning mentioning that to me, because I
need to go back too, youknow, I need to go back.
And I've been there before and there'sbeen, uh, I said, the
three or four times that I've gone, there's always been at least one World

(01:26:33):
War two VET that was kind ofyou know, hanging around or whatever.
And I know that. You know, my god daughter, your daughter,
she worked there for a while andthat was the coolest thing ever. Oh
god. Yeah, it's just it'sit's special. It's special. And you
go to New Orleans, you goto party, and I get that,
I understand that. But man,if you can ever carve out some time,

(01:26:55):
even if you get up early andall your buddies are going to be
sleeping all day because they're all hungover, you get get your ass up and
get over to the museum. Andif you spend three hours there, it's
better than no hours there. Youneed more time, But just go see
it. It's amazing. It isamazing, and they did expand it and
I went over the summer with myson, and you know, and he's

(01:27:16):
he's a huge World War Two fan. I mean, you're not a fan,
you're not a fan, but youknow what I mean. Like,
he loves the history of it.He loves the stories and stuff. And
I explained shit to him all thetime, and he does his own research
now. So we went and walkedthrough it together, which was insane because
he has, you know, thinkabout it, he's fifteen now, he
has he's so far removed from that. You know. You know, people

(01:27:36):
our age, we have probably grandparentsthat may have fought or served during that
time period, so you had somefirst hand stories. Occasionally it would bounce
around at the Thanksgiving dinner table orwhatever, you know what I mean.
But he's so far removed at thatpoint, you know, so it's like

(01:27:56):
me telling them stories. It doesn'thave the same impact obviously, Although he's
chu said, wait, wait,grandfather, you know my grandfa did what
And I explained to him He's like, what, that's insane. I'm like,
I know, you know, Andthen you go to the museum and
you start seeing it more and it'sjust it's it's good to see someone that
age take an interest because you knowwhat, You've got to understand history,
so don't fuck it up again.Hopefully you know it's it is important.

(01:28:21):
So uh yeah, next time youcome to New Orleans, I'm doing a
bigger commercial for them than I amfor the damn Pirates store. So anyway,
there you go. It is awesome, man, That's why New Orleans
is so great. We should begetting paid just for the mayor and New
Orleans for all this sh in thecity of the city. Yeah, the
city. We promote the funk outof this place. That's all I got.
I got nothing, all right,Guinty, hell of a run.

(01:28:45):
