Let's go. Let's do this here. Hey, welcome to board, everybody.
This is the play Pants Podcast,Episode ninety seven. That's my friend
Jason Ginty right there. My nameis Ron Ryan. This is our seventh
podcast in a row. I'm keepingtrack for some reason. We're recording on
Wednesday night. Lots to talk abouttoday. I wrote this down, you

(00:24):
know, I don't know if yousaw. I sent you over like a
little you know, syllabus of theshow today. First thing on there,
it says football is dumb. Sothat's it. We don't have to say
anything more about it. But footballis stupid. I want to talk a
little bit about there's a food fightershow here in Houston, and I wanted

(00:45):
to tell you about that. It'sNational Bald is Beautiful Day. I don't
have too much on that. Playeda new Stained song this morning. The
yeah, dude, wow, Ican't wait to talk about that. And
then the MTV Video Music Awards wereon Tuesday night of this week. I
watched none of it. I didwatch a few head I watched a few

(01:07):
highlights and clips and lowlights and thingslike that. I mean, it's MTV.
It's not for us anymore. Butagain. I took it to the
airways here in Houston, asking peopleabout top fives, and maybe even Josh
Tree was one of the first onesin. He said, well, videos,
I mean, and they just releaseda top video list and there's a

(01:29):
million of them out there, soI thought maybe we could do our favorite
videos. I asked you if wehad done this. We've talked a lot
about videos, but I don't thinkwe've ever like focused in on a top
five. I went and I actuallyshocking, hold on, now, a
good thing, you're sitting down.But I actually went back and looked it
up and couldn't find a top five. I remember talking a lot about videos

(01:51):
and MTV during but never did atop five. So then, of course,
what do you do. You godown the rabbit holes of videos,
and dude, I'm lucky I showedup for the podcast tonight. I was
just going, oh, dude,I forgot about that one. Oh shit,
that one's awesome. So it sendsyou down hell. And yes,
I read your email with the syllabusand actually I did a little more research

(02:12):
on some of the topics you sent, so I'm actually, I think,
after almost two years of doing thispodcast, think I'm about to start taking
a little more serious. Finally,after to you, I thought, why
why not give it a little bit? Hey, let me ask you this
question. So your what and thisis like fucking kind of a meta thing
here, should do the radio show? Right? Been doing it for twenty

(02:35):
somebody years? Right? Yes,we do the podcast? Right? Okay,
great, Now we've take the podcastand we promote our own little worlds.
You know, you promote your radioshow. I promote the Pirate Tour
and other radio should I do?But now it's gone back around the other
way where you're using your radio showto pump back into the podcast. Yeah,
we you know, we talk aboutit my company, iHeart Radio.

(03:00):
We make fun of all the promosthat we're forced to run and it's all
these like dumbass podcasts that we don'thave a choice, you know how corporate
radio they kind of forced these thingsdown. So every time that we're done
playing, and it's always at theend of the stop set, meaning the
last thing that played before I comeback on Live and Talk, it's always
pushing a podcast. And we usethat opportunity to say, you know what,

(03:22):
that sounds great, but you knowwhat we did, And then you
know, it gives me a chanceto talk about Alex and we talk about
Past the Gravy and then he isthis really crazed Big Brother fan and he
does a Past the Gravy bro podcast. He does three or four of them
a week, and so he updatesthat. So we get do we do
get a chance to talk about iton the radio that we do podcasts,

(03:44):
And in Tessa's defense, she doeslike a drink video. She was doing
some podcasting stuff before she's gotten awayfrom that. She's got like a sponsored
drink video that she does and shechit chats in between, and it's,
you know, gives people a chanceto see her personality. So but we
do talk about we do talk aboutplaypants on the air. We do,
We absolutely do. And some peoplehave been sending in some top fives.

(04:08):
I do like to go back andjust recognize a few people that took the
time to give us some top fivesfrom previous shows. And I wanted to
start today with Mike Walker. MikeWalker was the reason we did the top
five last week, which was thegrunge songs. Oh yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, I forgot it. What's up? Brother Rod and Jason.

(04:30):
I was happy to hear y'all domy suggestion for your top five grunge
songs. Last week, I dugy'all's choices and was stoked to hear Jason
put Temple of the Dog on hislist. If y'all are interested, here's
my list, since y'all's show twoweeks prior was top five one hit Wonders.
I also really liked the song.I'll start out with a song that

(04:50):
fits the criteria for both number fiveDinosaur Junior, Feel the Pain. I
love that song. It's a greatsong. Jay Mascus is kind of you
know, he's really revered. He'sa musicians musician and Dinosaur Junior. Everybody
loves. If you're a musician,you love Jay Mascus and Dinosaur Junior.

(05:11):
That was about the most commercial thatthey ever got Feel the Pain And at
number four stp meat plow smashing pumpkins, very bad mayonnaise. Yes, Temple
of the Dogs say Hello to Heaven, which I think is a better song,
but I get it yours was grungier. And then he said he's a
huge Pearl Jam fan. I'll stickto the grunge era instead of something newer.

(05:35):
But it's a deep cut Pearl Jams, State of Love and Trust.
It's great, great, it's inthe singles soundtrack. I believe yes,
he said yes, the Pumpkins andstp count it's our game. Keep up
the content, boys, it's nothalf bad rock on Mike. Wow.
Hey, Hey, that should bethe tagline of the Hey, listen to

(05:58):
the Playpans podcast once a week.It ain't half bad. That's actually a
brilliant at the Playpans podcast. Itain't half bad, you know, And
it's not all right rod, Solet's I want to get this out of
the way quickly, and it's likea band aid. I want to just
rip it off. M what happenedto your fucking Buffalo bills on Monday night?

(06:21):
Ben shitters? I mean they betthey shot. They took out Aaron
Rodgers four plays, rip the oldMan's Achilles, and I thought, oh,
we're just gonna rip the shit outof this one. I thought we
were gonna absolutely rout them after that. It's tough being a Look, I

(06:41):
don't want to just talk about bills. I want to put this in a
broader perspective. It's tough being afan of sports. Okay, let's just
keep you know, what I mean, like, it's a it's hard because
everyone thinks their team, Oh they'rebad luck, they're this, they're that.
Only one team wins the Super Bowlevery year, other thirty one others
didn't have a good year. Technically, yeah, but fucking spread it around
a little bit. Let's some otherteams win. Lets some other teams get

(07:03):
in. It can ruin your day. I had sent we had texted earlier
on Monday. You know, allmy bills friends from back home, and
you know, I'm hearing from peopleI haven't heard from in a while.
Everybody's so jacked, you know,Buffalo Bills, National Spotlight. I didn't

(07:24):
like playing on nine to eleven inNew York. I did feel in New
York City, that is, eventhough they were playing in New Jersey.
I didn't like that aspect of it. I was a little nervous thinking that,
you know, the Jets were goingto bring it a little extra.
I don't know. I don't knowyou saw me. I sent you pictures.

(07:46):
I've got my flag out. Iput my Bills Mafia yard sign out
at the street, and I hearpeople tooting the horn. I got my
dog dressed up in a Jersey I'vegot a six foot cardboard cutout of joh
Alan over here. I got mybills thing that I lean up against them,
you know, next to the frontdoor. I mean, dude,

(08:07):
I'm ready to go. Then allthe dummies from the neighborhood come over to
watch the game with me. Theywant to share the moment. I even
told them, listen, I needyou guys. I know they're not going
to be your favorite team, butyou know, can I get some secondary
love here? They all came over, stayed until the end. I stayed
up late. I gotta get upat three fifteen. What the fuck that's
it? I don't know, Football'sdumb. Yeah, I actually I haven't

(08:30):
really been like the last couple ofyears. I just kind of walked away.
I just think, I think,like, I'll watch a game here
and there, I'll turn it onif someone's kicking someone else's ass, I
kind of walk away. I justI've lost interest in a lot of the
NFL. And I watched the gamebecause it was the first game of the
season. I thought the whole AaronRodgers story was gonna be cool to follow.
And you know, how good arethe Jets gonna be? And know
the whole thing. So I'm lookingat it not just a huge Bills fan,

(08:54):
but from the whole aspect that I'mlike, oh, it's gonna be
pretty cool. And then it's justlike four plays in and I mean at
the end of the day, Istarted laughing. I literally started laughing.
Not that laughing well, because notnot that the poor dude got hurt.
I don't have lover hate for AaronRodgers. I wanted to see him do
well, but like all that hypeof him going from Green Bay, the

(09:15):
hype, the commercials, the interviews, all the millions of dollars involved.
At four plays and he's done,Like he's done, He's I have.
This is how I know I'm nota narcissist at all. I have a
lot of empathy. And I putmyself in the fans in New York.
I listen because their rivals. Idon't like the Jets, you know what

(09:37):
I mean, Like I hate theMiami Dolphins, I hate the Patriots.
I dislike the Jets, you know, but man, for that whole city,
at least half the city, becausethe other half is Giants fans,
to hang your hat on that oneguy, man, you know it sucks.
It sucks. I felt bad forthem. I felt bad for Aaron

(09:58):
Rodgers. I do. I don'tjust like him. I felt bad because
this that might be the last timehe ever plays. Oh, I mean,
you're not forty years old. You'regonna come back from an achilles.
Come on, now, he's agood chance it's the last time he ever
plays. And that's not a wayto go out four time MVP. I
know he's only got you know,people criticize him, and you know he's
a weird guy, and what hehad going on with the vaccine, I

(10:20):
don't know. I just never hatedon him. Gives a shit. He
plays a sport and that's cool.What I felt bad, I felt awful.
I did. I mean, Ididn't even celebrate that it happened.
Okay, great buffalo set up,we're gonna route them. It didn't have
that feel to me, just becausebecause he's an elder guy and I'm old
as fuck. Maybe I connected withhim a little bit, you know,

(10:43):
because my hatred of Tom Brady hasreally tamped off in the last couple of
years. Sure, yeah, don'tlet me be clear. I hate him,
but not as much as I usedto. But you have to think
about. That's exactly the Jets weredoing the Tampa Bay playbook. They're like,
oh, we got a good team, we got a great defense,
We've got pieces, we just needa guy to handle it. So Tampa

(11:05):
Bay went and got Tom Brady andit worked out pretty well for them.
Obviously, the Jets are going,hey, wait, this worked. But
it just goes to show you howbad things can go. And and like
I was talking to my son aboutit, I'm like, look, dude,
it's kind of a metaphor. Man. She can go bad at any
moment of any day. So youknow, get out there and get your
kicks while you can. It waskind of the message. And I said,
also, maybe don't put all youreggs in one basket boat in the

(11:28):
NFL. You kind of have to, you kind of have Oh yeah,
I mean, I mean they haveother great eggs on that team, you
know what I mean, good andeverything, but you know, they just
needed that one piece. So Idon't know about this Buffalo Bill team,
dude, I mean, I listen, love them. I'm gonna bleed blue

(11:48):
and red to like die. Imean, I buried my dad with a
Bills his Bill's cap in his coffinwith him, you know, his leather
Bill's cap, and put it inthere with him. We love this team.
The window is closing, and I'mnot. I don't know they still
it listened. Kansas City lost,the Bengals lost. Exactly if you look

(12:11):
at the three teams that are expectedto be there at the end of the
year, all three of the bigteams lost, and all of them were
for shit. So we were forship like the other teams that were supposed
to be really, really good.So I've dial little breaking down, a
deal, little stats, little diggingaround, because I found out why I
didn't like really watching football. I'ma fan, love the Bills, love

(12:35):
the Saints, all that stuff,and and but just for a couple of
years, I just kind of walkedaway. I'm like a man, I'm
just somehow I just lost interest,and I don't know what happened. You
know, the average NFL game takesabout three hours and twelve minutes to complete,
right, you know, it's onlyan hour game technically by the clock,
the play clock, it's an hourfor four quarters fifteen minutes, but
you're watching that whole thing takes aboutthree three and a half hours to watch.

(12:58):
Okay, so it's three and ahalf hours of a day. Holy
shit, that's a long time.Right, on average, there's only eighteen
minutes of real action out of threeand a half hours you're watching eighteen minutes.
The rest of the rest of theseen these numbers before. I don't
know, I'm just not affected bythat. It bothers the shit out of
me because soccer is going NonStop.Right, Soccer, they're constantly kicking the

(13:20):
ball. Hockey the same thing.Right, Yeah, it's a chess match,
is what it is. But therest of the time is you're watching,
like you know, you're watching coachesyelling to the clipboard. You're watching
guys grab their nuts, blow snoutrockets, wandering around like like, if
you start focusing, I'm going toruin a football for you, if you
start really watching it, Like,why am I watching the coach just stand

(13:45):
there? This is the dumbest shiton earth if you look at it that
way. And that's what happened tome. I started looking at it that
way. I'm like, what amI watching? This is dumb? I
like to replace that's fine, gottahave it. But like there's so much
and then the commercials. Holy shit, dude, the commercials not only terrible.
There's hold on, let me look, I gotta hear. There's around
fifteen to twenty five commercials per quarter. That's over one hundred commercials total during

(14:09):
a football game. That's one ofthe few times that most of us will
watch live television. Right. Everythingelse you watch, you haven't recorded,
You watch it on demand, Youdo whatever, and you can fly through
the you know, if you dorecord something. I mean, I guess.
I mean a lot of people likeAlex loves This, uh, you

(14:31):
know, Big Brother, A lotof people do watch those types of shows
live. America's got talent. Ifyou don't need to know that night,
record it. Same thing like withAmerican Idol, record it, watch it
the next day, and then youknow, fast forward through everything. But
football is not like that to meanyways. And I a lot of people

(14:52):
that want to watch American Idol whileit's live, you know, they do
want that. They have that samefeeling I don't. But football, you
know that you cannot record a gameand try to isolate yourself from the world
and then watch it later. Youcan't. You can't. It's impossible.
You're forced to watch commercials and you'retaken back to another time when we were
young, when we didn't know anybetter. Yep, now we know better,

(15:16):
and yeah it fuck another commercial,you know, but it's frustrating.
It's football to me though, andall those things that you said, I've
heard all those numbers and the actualplaytime, and usually soccer people, European
football, they make that argument.It's still it's still the best thing.
It's still my favorite thing to watch. It's still my favorite thing to be

(15:37):
part of. Even though I saidit's dumb. It's dumb, but I'm
gonna watch. I'm gonna watch,I'm gonna watch. But in really,
the ratings haven't fallen off, youknow, they're they're staying right where they
are. This last the first weekhad a good week of ratings wives.
So I mean, it's still thebig sport and there's still bazillions of dollars
involved. I'm just saying it becamehard to watch for me once I started

(16:00):
paying attention to all the non funshit, And I'm like Jesus, how
many times when I look at acoach with a clipboard like I started freaking
me out. I started seeing itin a different lay and I'm like,
but then I still do love soI just want to I don't want to
shoot on football. I love football, but I wasted three and a half
hours one day night when I couldhave been doing something else. When the

(16:21):
result isn't your way, that's whenyou get mad. There's nothing else that
I'll waste that amount of time doing, don't. I don't golf anymore.
I found that to be a hugewaste of time. Massive. It's like
going out in golfing. Plus youknow, having a kid that ruins all
that shit. But you know theseguys that hang on and even when they
get married and have children. Youknow some of these guys and they're smart.

(16:42):
They're like, listen, this isI won't bend on this. I
golf on this day, you know, And they still go out and they
golf. Me golfing in the middleof a day in three and a half
hours, four hours and having acouple of beers. That's the whole day
for me. I don't know,I got away from me at one point.
I really really liked it. Idon't know. I'm trying to I'm

(17:03):
trying to equate it to how youwere feeling about football at one point,
I thought it was really cool.I was younger, I didn't have a
lot of responsibility, and I'm hangingwith my friends and we're going golfing.
It was fun. I liked it. But then something happened. I don't
know, I became an old,krusty fuck and I didn't want to waste
time out on the golf course.Maybe that's how you feel about football,
you know that that's my thing thatI just kind of realized it's not that

(17:27):
great, right right, And that'swhat I've been doing, is I've been
actually like, what's really funny islike I'll be doing another shit now,
like the games on and I'll bedoing shit on the house and I watch
it. I got a Sunday,the game's on. I'm doing shit now.
I'm not just sitting there like,fuck yeah, let's watch football.
So plus, I don't drink,so it might be part of it.
I'm not just I don't drink duringthe day, you know, or I'm

(17:48):
watching these games now. The guyscame over on Monday night and we had
a couple of beers. But thethe open concept house, I know yours
is like that too. You canpittle around in the kitchen a little bit
and the games on you can stillsee it. Our houses weren't set up
like that. Before you went intothe living room. There was four walls
and one little entrance into that roomand there was nothing to pittle around.

(18:11):
And do you know if you wantedto see the TV, you had to
sit there in that room and staythere and then go run and piss during
commercials. But now, I mean, I can kind of see my TV
from everywhere, or or you justhave TV's and other rooms, you know,
you can get shit done. Yeah, yeah, no, And again
I'm just I don't hate it.I still like it, but like I'm

(18:32):
not. I just I'm not goingto die for a team that I have
no I have no control over anyof it, you know what I mean.
So anyway, I'm still letting itruin my life a little bit.
Oh no, it'll piss me off, you know, I'll piss me upset
on Tuesday and be in the firstfucking game of the season to have it
like that, Like where's Josh's confidenceand all that? Okay, Hey dude,

(18:53):
a food fighter show announced here inHouston. It's a really weird situation.
All I've done been able to dois speculate about it. But they're
playing Austin City Limits Music Festival,Okay, so they're obviously headlining one of
the knights that they play there.You know about the radius clause for people

(19:15):
that don't know what that is.And I apologize if you heard me talk
about this on the air already,but the radius clause. When a band
play somewhere, you'll take an oldschool protractor and think about laying a map
down of the state on your table, on your kitchen counter, and you
put the point in Austin, andthen whatever you decide how many miles,

(19:37):
you just draw a circle all theway around Austin. Well, guess what
if you're going to play my festival, this is the radius that you are
not allowed to do a show withina certain amount of time. I want
people in, I want people totravel to come see you from my show.
So it would happen even with VoodooFest in New or Think about how

(20:00):
far. Think about how big thatcircle would be. Half of it would
be the golf. But they wouldn'tallow bands to play Houston because we were
the number one traveling city to NewOrleans for Voodoo Fest. So a lot
of times when Voodoo got a band, they wouldn't play here, right,
you know, and we got butthurt over that. Food Fighters are playing

(20:22):
a five thousand cedar, a fivethousand seat venue, A band that has
sold out Wimbley Stadium two nights ina row. You know, not Taylor
Swift, but you know right aroundin that Metallica, the food Fighters are
there. You know, they're playingarenas now right, I mean it's on
the tour basically is well, they'redoing mostly festivals, a weird ship though

(20:45):
they're not doing Yes, they're doingfestivals, but I gotta think that they're
just gonna end up morphing into stadiums. So they're doing a five thousand seat
room here, and tickets went onTickets go on sale Thursday at ten am.
By ten on one, they're soldout. Well, a lot of

(21:07):
people already got in on pre sales. You know, if you're in the
Food Fighter fan club, if you'redoing these other sort of things. Now,
I did go in because I'm nowof course, I asked my boss.
I'm like, bro, we're gettingtickets, right, I mean,
is there gonna be any interviews?We get any opportunities? And then this
guy, I don't know nothing,like nothing. Promotions flat out said,

(21:29):
we're not getting any tickets. Sonow it's gonna be label management if they're
going to take care of the radiostation, that sort of thing. I
mean, you know, the programdirector, you jerks, you know he's
gonna get a ticket. Ye're notgonna give tickets. We're not gonna give
tickets for the whole staff and allthe sales people that want to go,
and everybody else that works there atevery prize pup and everything else. Yeah,

(21:49):
that's the problem. So I am. I guess I'm in the Food
Fighter Fan Club. I don't know. I signed up. I get you
know, emails from them, andthere was a code. I went in
for a pre sale. I loggedon. I was in a waiting room.
Then I was put in queue.I was in the queue. There

(22:11):
was seven thousand people in front ofme. It was thirty minutes the queue,
and then there was some messages werecoming up, you know kind of
I'm paraphrasing, there's a good chanceyou're not going to get tickets, and
you know you might want to thinkabout, you know, some other options
in pre sales and things. Seventhousand people in the queue. I just

(22:33):
told you this room holds five thousandpeople. This is one of multiple pre
sales. YEP. Half hour goesblind. I'm like, I'm just gonna
hang out and see what this.I want to see how this plays out.
And this is just there's no youknow, big radio celebrity, there's
no nothing. You're in there asa civilian, you know, like everyone
else. Two thousand people in thequeue, one hundred people in the queue.

(22:56):
Okay, things are cooking. Nowhere we go okay, boom.
It goes to a spot where itsays, okay, we're gonna let you
in momentarily. Now I'm waiting forthe door to open and say, oh
done. I go in there andI'm able to buy tickets on the floor.
Jesus, so I just I scoopedtwo up. Now I don't.
I didn't. I'm not telling workthis. And I know they don't listen

(23:18):
to the podcast, so you knowI would give them to somebody or let
them buy them from me. Youknow friends of mine that are gonna want
to go if we get tickets fromthe station. But you know I did
get a pair of tickets. That'sawesome. But they go on sale ten
o'clock Thursday, and you're right,they'll be gone. And a friend of
mine, everybody's texting me, thisis a big show, right, it's

(23:41):
a big, big deal. FoodFighters hadn't played here in since twenty eighteen.
Wow. A friend of mine,she said she got tickets. I
said how, she said, Iwent on vivid Seats. Said okay,
what did you pay? She said, like two forty a ticket. They're
already selling ticket. It's on thesecond. I go, do you have

(24:02):
the tickets, like the E ticket? She's like no, I go,
because they don't exist. I go, they're selling tickets hedging that they're going
to be able to get them.So and then we know that Ticketmaster is
incahoots with some of these other secondarysites, so you know, I don't
know if I don't know if theycan legally sell a ticket that they don't

(24:25):
have, but that's kind of what'shappening, and that's what she bought.
Yeah, the ticket thing is ais a disaster. I was surprised when
I saw that show pop up.I first of all, I got excited.
I'm like, oh shit, they'replaying Houston. They got to be
announcing in New Orleans days so Istart, you know, connecting some dots,
and then I realized it's just kindof a one off. You know.
They're like, well, we're playingAustin, so let's go down there
and do that and go back toAustin and then carry on with our tour

(24:48):
that we're on. You know.Yeah, it's called a it's a down
show, you know. I mean, you're getting a full concert. Well,
I don't know. I don't knoweverything that I'm saying, even the
whole thing about the you know,the distance and everything. That's just my
best guess. I mean, they'recharging one fifty eight to be on the
floor. I mean, are yougetting a three hour Foo Fighters show?
I mean yeah, I think that'swhat they're known for. I think that's

(25:11):
what they do. Now, Yeah, you're not gonna do something. Hey,
We're just gonna come out here andplay a couple of songs and then,
you know, not for that price, right, No, no,
no, you know it's really funny. It's like, of course, as
soon as I saw that Houston day, I'm like, okay, what day
of the week is that? Istarted fucking running my advocates and trying to
figure out, Okay, it's aTuesday. I think. I'm like,
fuck, man, we go overto Houston, see the show, come

(25:33):
back and then and then I'm like, no, no, I'm not doing
all that. That's a lot ofwork. That's too much fucking work.
I'm not doing it. I'm gonnawait. They're gonna end up doing a
New Orleans date. My best guessesare gonna announce a jazz Fest show.
They're gonna come play jazz Fest becausethey were supposed to play two different times
and they got canceled both times.And it fits in because they've got like

(25:56):
a winner tour. They're gonna bein New Zealand, then in the summer
they're gonna be over and June they'regonna be over in Europe. So there's
that nice window in the spring.Bam, here we go. That's just
my guess. And it's interesting thatyou say that. I wonder if the
only time they can play was thatfirst weekend Thursday. Did you see jazz
Fest added, there's going to beeight days of jazz Fest now. Jazz

(26:18):
Fest traditionally first weekend is Friday,Saturday Sunday. The second weekend is Thursday,
Friday, Saturday Sunday. For thefirst time ever. They're doing a
first Thursday, so eight days ofjazz Fest. They don't usually put anybody
good on Thursday. No, butit just you know, they were making
they were doing all kinds of crazythings for the Rolling Stones. So who

(26:41):
knows. Maybe you know, they'rejust making it sound like, hey,
this is we thought this was agood idea and let's get some more people
here. But maybe it is forsomething that's going to be huge whatever.
Who knows. I'll go because Ijust want to hang out. I love
going to jazz Fest. So andis there any I mean, that Stone
show never happened, right, No, they ended up playing like this super
don't look at a year later,so they did their New Orleans date.

(27:03):
They did, but the jazz Festthing didn't happen due to well, I
think it was COVID. Nick gotMick had to go get like a heart
thing done. He got sixthly tocancel it, and there's a COVID thing.
So they tried to pull it offa couple of times and it just
you know, eventually timing doesn't work, you lose your windows. And who
knows, maybe they want to makegood on that jazz Fest thing so Stones

(27:25):
have new music out. Did youhear the song? You know what I
was gonna ask you. I actuallydidn't hate the song. I didn't hate
it. I didn't love it,but I didn't hate it. Yeah,
it was it was good, itwas catchy. The video is great,
man. Sidney Sweeney is like thehottest chick in Hollywood right now. Of
course I'm embarrassed. I watched Euphoriaand I will watch it when it comes
back. Sidney Sweeney also, shewas in the first White Lotus. She's

(27:52):
the hottest chick in Hollywood right nowand she's in the video. What an
opportunity for her. And it's notlost on me watching her in the video,
like she knows, holy shit,I'm in a Rolling Stones video.
Like this is history. You know. They asked one girl to be in
the video, and they asked her, you know yeah, driving around la

(28:12):
and the Stone drawl on the billboardsand this shows the various years that they're
it's it's it's well done. No, I didn't at first. I was
like, this is going to bea piece of shit like other last twenty
years shit. But it's it's acool song. It's it's got a decent
hook. It's it's I'm like,okay, not bad at all. Speaking
of new music, I played anew Stained song this morning, and Confessions

(28:37):
of the Fallen out next Friday.Correct and Stained had been, you know,
gone for a long long time.We're banging the ship out of that
first single. It's a rocker.It's great. I love it. We're
playing it a lot. Yeah,we're playing it too. The lowest in
me is it's a good song.It's really good playing it a lot.
Okay. This song is called hereand Now. Oh, it's fucking awesome.

(29:02):
It's an instant Stained classic. Itis. It's been a while,
believe it's it's that slower tempo.It's fucking amazing. It is a Stained
classic. Really good, dude.Yeah playing I'm spending it again tomorrow and
I'll probably play it again on Friday. You can't miss with this song.

(29:23):
You absolutely cannot miss. It's notgood, it's great, interesting. Yeah,
I'll check it out tomorrow because I'vebeen busy doing fucking fuck all.
It works, so yeah, I'mglad. I'm you know what. And
I was having these conversations over thelast couple of days with a lot of
different record labels and the biz becauseI'm in the bizz, you know what

(29:44):
I mean, Like, I'm inthe biz so direct. So like what
we've been talking about is like,you know, you had let's go all
the way back to the Chili Pepperswhen they released Black Summer. Okay,
Everyone's like, whoa, this isthe Chili Peppers. But this is actually
a good song. Okay, andthat song is still good Okay. Blink
Wynity two came out with their songthat went to number one, was number
one for a million weeks on theAll chart. So Blink comes out,

(30:08):
You're thinking, okay, old schoolband. Wow, they actually had another
good song in them. That's awesome. Stained here's another example, old school
band. Holy shit. Now itsounds like they got two good songs out
of them. Back up, man, we played that new Offspring song.
We played the shit out of thathere in Houston. That's truly shit out
of that new Bush song. Sothese bands that we've been in bedwidth for

(30:30):
thirty years kind of all saw,wait a minute, man, we've got
one more window. We've got onemore window to maybe do something here.
But this Stained song is probably thebest out of everything that you mentioned.
Wow, it's It's So Far AwayPart two. I mean, dude,
all right, it's awesome. Ican't wait for you to hear this song.

(30:53):
You cannot miss on this, Okay, I'm gonna check it out.
The one that's really done well isLincoln Park song. That song is still
not going anywhere lost. I mean, you're right, people love it.
The test scores meaning you know,we test music, don't what you want
to hear and what you want tolisten to, and that's how we determine

(31:15):
how long to play things. AndI always felt like it was a song
that was not on the album fora reason. Right, that's a great
It's still a great song, agood song for me, a good song
for me. But I think peoplejust loved hearing Chester's voice again and then
something that they hadn't heard and ittook them back. And there's just such

(31:37):
an emotional tie into that band.Speaking of which, Nirvana, they're gonna
put out in Utero and they saythere's like fifty some tracks that we haven't
heard. Now, does that meandifferent rough remixes of everything? It's gonna
be dogshit stuff, It's gonna bedumb, there's gonna be if there was
a new song, we probably wouldhave had it. And Dave has always
claimed that, look, when wereleased you know, you're right back in

(32:00):
whatever year that was, twenty ninetyseven, ninety eight, whatever I told,
that's exact same story. He saidthat you don't have a million songs.
Now we we did. We putout what we had, you know,
don't you know what. I'm notsupposed to talk about this, but
who's gonna listen to this podcast?Anybody? So there's a song that you're

(32:20):
gonna hear soon I think next week, and I can't wait to hear your
reaction to it. There's a newBlink one eighty two song coming out right
now. I've always been fair WeatherBlank fan. I get the songs.
They're cool pop punk right, They'rea fun bad you know, goofy videos
all that shit. Due their newsong, you want to talk about Feelings.
Oh, when you hear it thefirst time, you're gonna be like,

(32:43):
what wo wow? Okay are theyselling Tom's cancer or something in the
song? Oh dude. Now,I'm not gonna say shit. Man,
I want you to. I wantit to hit, but you're gonna play
it. When you play it thatmorning, I think it'll be like next
Thursday or Friday. I'm ass tosay that. Really, listen to the
lyrics. I know you're not alyric guy, but the lyrics are the
key are fucking You're gonna be like, oh fuck, okay, I'm excited

(33:07):
about that. Thank you. Iappreciate the look behind the curtain. Fair
warning. God, this is we'reso probably you probably will go and a
lot of people will listen right nowand they'll say, Okay, I want
to hear what Rod's talking about.What's this song? By staying here and
now a lot of people listen tomusic by watching the video on YouTube now

(33:28):
right, oh yeah, all thetime father son dealing with Alzheimer. Dude,
it's brutal. Fuck am I gonnawatch it. It's brutal. It's
a father and son. I'm tellingyou. He's there on his dad's bedside,
and then they're going flashbacks to themat the beach. No spoiler,

(33:50):
but jeeze, the song is alreadygreat the video, Dude, the video.
If you're experiencing it for the firsttime, watching the video, I
can't even imagine, Like I hadalready known what I was getting into going
in. So I'm excited about somebodyexperiencing the song and the video for the
first time to get the double whammylike that, then it's then it's it's

(34:15):
nails. Huh. Interesting. Butthe father son thing hit me hard.
It hit me pretty hard. Ididn't see my dad suffer like that,
but it hits. It hits soso you know what, And I don't
know how they do it, butyou get on YouTube and you watch these
guys doing these reaction videos where they'rewatching the song and they're playing the song

(34:36):
and they don't get flagged, youknow what I mean, Like if we
played a second of any fucking songthat we talk about, we have to
pull the dumb thing down and tobe a whole thing. I don't know
how you get away with those reactionvideos. But what I'll do and I
won't do I won't have time todo it while we're recording this, but
I'll do it tomorrow. Okay,I'll watch the video, okay this,

(34:58):
and I won't. Can you doa split screen like that and have the
video play and then have your reactionon the one side of the screen,
well play, I can't play theaudio though, I'm afraid it can.
All you have to do is sayI don't own this whatever, just copy
and paste whatever these jagofs are puttingin there. So they put something in
the description, Okay, they have, they've got the l and then it's

(35:21):
like, I do not own this, blah blah blah blah blah. Just
copy and paste whatever the fuck theywrite, put it in yours, all
right, and I'll post it onthe playpants. I'll post it on our
page on our YouTube channel. I'lldo a reaction video of the song and
the video and just see what happens. Here's the Kleenex. I'm holding up
a box of tissue from my friendJason. I'm telling you right now,

(35:43):
here's the fucking box of Kleenex.Do not watch that video without it.
Wow, Okay, I will doa straight up reel. I'll go,
I'll go as real as it gets. I'll go full on real. I
won't watch it, put it onour YouTube page, and then if it
gets knocked down and sing whatever,we get our Wieni's whacked. Okay,
great, I haven't been touched downthere in a while. Yeah. Maybe

(36:05):
I'll do it twice, one foreach of us. I will check that
out. But there's exciting new musiccoming out, and then Green Day's got
new ship coming out soon. Imean, there's a lot of coming our
way. It's gonna be cool.It's gonna be good. Fall from music.
How about just our old friends,though you know you had already gone
through all the bands. I wasso happy when we played I can't think

(36:28):
of the name of the song offhand, but we played the ship out of
that Offspring song, and we hadn'treally played a new Offspring song in a
long long time. And there's noguarantee. Here's the thing. Sure a
band like Offspring rolls around, oryou know the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
They've been so good to us allthese years. We play all the stuff
in the catalog and all of that, you're still not You're not guaranteed.

(36:52):
Even the Food Fighters, you're notguaranteed airplay just because you're the Food Fighters.
What we do on our stage is, and we've talked about this,
I'll play something in the morning andwe might not hear it again. But
you owe it to Bush, youowe it to shine down popa Roach comes
out with something new. Listen,We've been there, they've been good to

(37:13):
us. We owe it to them. Unless it's an absolute pos then that's
it. But they're still going toget a spin to let our audience hear
what's going on that thirty seconds toMars song. Dude, Okay, that's
like a dance track. Okay,we've got but we've got this great relationship
with you know, with Jared andthe band and management and everything, so

(37:36):
you know, it's getting some spins. Doesn't belong. It didn't set the
world on fire. It was numberone, but you still got to let
people hear it, you know,you gotta let people hear it. But
the fact that they're sticking around longerthan the curiosity spins, that's what they
are. It's like, hey,something new from this band. You know
them, you love them all thesethirty years now, but they're playing music

(38:00):
like this Stained song. I'm soexcited. Dude. Even Metallica when they
came out with Luxe Turna, it'slike this, fucking great, man,
this is the best Metallica song intwenty five years. Because how many bands
have done that in the past wherewe're like, oh, it's a new
this band and you're like, asong sucks the fuck that blows. You
never want to have that happen.Okay, yeah, just to throw one
that's not in this category. Ijust stumbled upon. I just stumbled upon

(38:27):
in my research last night a newever Clear song. I don't know where
I saw it or someone sent itto me. Oh probably were the record
ever Clear. And I'm not gonnatell you it's good or bad. The
video is pretty freaking like kick inthe Nuts, but the song is I
don't think we're gonna play it,you know what I mean. But it's
got a hook. It's cool.You know that the guys the band still

(38:49):
looks pretty good, you know,looking a little older, but aren't we
all. I forget the name ofit. I'll send it to you,
but check it out and you're gonnabe like, Okay, yeah, yeah,
I probably won't play that song,but it might be a curiosity spin
you do in the morning. Andit does ever Clear deserve it. I
don't know as much as Offspring,but I watched it. I'm like,
uh, not even in the samediscussion. He's one even for the format,

(39:10):
not even you know. In NewOrleans we played that song ends e
nds right, and that was,you know, the follow up to what
It's Like but that's it. Heyou know, he's got one song in
you know, in rotation, sohe's not no, no, no,
ever clear. But did I saydid I say ever last? I meant
ever clear? Sorry, differently saidokay, either way, ever clear?

(39:32):
The three pace Santa Monica Watch theWorld Die? That song? Yeah,
yeah, yeah, Art Now Alexakis. Yeah, they just put a new
song out, so yeah, checkit out right. It's not going to
blow your socks off, but it'snot bad, you know. So I
just like the fact that these olddudes are still out there swinging the bat.
Dude, Art's gotta be sixty twobecause he was old in the band.
Yeah, he was old. Whenthe song hit, Santa Monica Watched

(39:55):
the World Die, he was alreadylike you know, everyone we were all
in our t twenties, you know, Pearl Jam and everybody, they were
all in their twenties. He wasalready like thirty two. When it looks
a little older than bad, it'sfor sure, you know, he was
a little bit older. And thenI don't I hate bringing up this phrase
because I know you get all mad, your Canadian blood starts to boil,

(40:19):
and shit, it's I don't expectthat from you. I know, I'm
just you know, going back toBlank one eighty two, rock and roll
Hall of Fame band, down theRoad. Yeah yeah yeah they got yeah
they yeah, they're a rock androll Hall of Fame band. They're they're

(40:43):
they're the guys are famous. Theygot the songs, they got the touring,
they got the videos, they gotit all. Yeah. Yeah.

They'll totally get in. So we'regonna want to talk to some videos.

things. I mean, It's likecrocs. Crocs came back. They looked
stupid on your feet, and thenyou wore ironically. Then all of sudden,
everybody's wearing them, so it feltgood. October is back. October

(42:14):
to enter your ride for all sortsof cash and prizes. Everything you're gonna
need to know is on the worldfamous Rod Ryan Show page at the buzz
dot com. So the MTV VideoMusic Awards were on this week and I
watched some highlights of it. Youknow, it's still you know, you're

(42:35):
it's still a big night. Ofcourse, it's not for old men like
us anymore. It's all twerking andeverything else. But they got us talking
about videos and there was a lotof video talk on and a bunch of
people. And again I'll give himcredit. I think Josh Tree may have
gotten through first. He said,Man, just do that for your top
five. Man, you're talking videos. You know we all know that,

(42:57):
you know, you old fox aregonna pick old ones that we've all seen
before. So tough. Uh almostlike the almost like the one hit wonder
because are you picking the song orare you picking? Like how great the
actual video is? You know that? That was always the question too,
I mean, is it because thevideo is so innovative and amazing? Can

(43:22):
you love a video and not lovethe song? You know what? I'm
everywhere. I didn't think of itthat way, but I have examples of
where the song is kind of like, Okay, I don't hate it,
I don't love it, but thevideo I'm like, Okay, that's pretty
cool. Well okay, So Ido have a couple of those here that

(43:42):
yeah, yeah, okay, Ilike that. So just like we talked
about our one hit wonders, youknow, the Macarena and those, you
know, those are arguing, youknow, arguably the biggest one hit wonders
of all time. We always coverour asses because nobody wants to see that
by saying these are our favorites.So Thriller by Michael Jackson is the greatest

(44:06):
video of all time? Correct,like the greatest music video ever. I
guess, one of the greatest,most popular ones, of course, because
it was groundbreaking at the time becauseit was super long and all the effects
on the makeup, which looks sillynow, but yeah, yeah, I
guess you could put that in there. Peter Gabriel's video Sledgehammer. I mean,
those are your bigs. Aha,take on me. I think we've

(44:27):
talked about that before. I didn'thave any of those on my list.
No, I did not put thoseon my list because they're not my favorites.
No, No, they're great,and I could recognize something as being,
you know, the greatest of alltime, but it's not my favorite.
So that's where I'm like, Okay, let's talk about you know,
the elephant in the room, thrillerand stuff like that. Huh wait,
before we start, how many thinkwe got how many think we're gonna line

(44:51):
up here? How many thinks wegot the same? We will line up
on two? Two? Wow?I was gonna go in one, but
okay, okay, okay, Ithink we're gonna line up. I think
we're gonna have two out of allthe millions of videos. I know.
I think you and I will havetwo of the same in our top five,
which is sad as shit because there'smillions of videos and it's a shame

(45:14):
because I would like to go backand have time to go look at a
bunch of them again to remind myselfhow great there. Because now as I'm
sitting here, I'm thinking of othervideos. I'm like, oh shit,
I love that video too. Ilove that video too. But either way,
why don't you go first? It'stime? Top five favorite videos,
Top five favorite videos one through five, all of the Harry Styles songs.

(45:36):
Watermelon Sugar. You want to justdo top five Harry Styles videos. I'm
not prepared, but I could probablyrifle off a couple, dude. One
through five. Watermelon Sugar. Thatsong is the greatest the video. He's
just eating watermelons and you know whatit's about. You know it's about sign
of the times. Come on,it has to be in there. Him
flying around like a jag off.It's sodsome. He's so handsome. In

(45:58):
at number five, Speaking of handsome, Chris, Isaac Wicked Game. It's
it's one of the all time greatsongs. Yeah, but the imagery that
goes along with it. Helena Christiansenis naked the whole damn video, but
she's covering up her bits. Theblack and white of it, everything about
the song and the hauntingness, thelook of it. They filmed it in

(46:21):
Hawaii, and at the time,I mean, I don't think I saw
anybody ever look as beautiful as HelenaChristiansen when that video came out, she
just was like the hottest thing I'veever seen in my life. It's such
a unique song too, you know, it was, and I still I
still to this day. So that'sanother one where the song melded together with

(46:45):
the video so well. And Ilove the song so much, so I
probably it helps that I it helpsme like the video more. But I
do think it's a great video.I do think it's it's I think it's
one of the all time great videos. In at number five, in at
number four because it took me backand and I'm going to talk about some

(47:07):
of the highlights of it, andbecause I'm gonna need to remind you of
how great this video was. Iremember losing my shit when Quiet Riot come
on, Feel the Noise came on? Now. When you're when you're a
younger dude, you spend a lotof time by yourself listening to music in
your bedroom. And that's the settingof this video. And if you remember,

(47:30):
when the song's playing, he's gotthe cool mask hanging above his head
and the speakers. As the songis playing, the speakers are getting bigger
and bigger and he can't control it. And then he goes to turn it
off and the knob of the radiothe tuner is huge, and then he
unplugs it from the wall because he'strying to stop the music because it's out

(47:51):
of control in his bedroom. Heunplugs it and this huge plug comes out
and he falls on his bed andhe wakes up and he stayed and he's
laying on the bed in front ofthe band and they're all staring at him
like how did you get here?And then it kind of goes to some
you know, footage of them playingand they looked so cool. The song
meant so much to me when Iwas young, but I just remember losing

(48:14):
my absolute shit when that video cameon. I watched it again today and
it's still great. Really, it'sstill fucking great. Yeah. And I
don't know what was going on withthat mask. You know, if you
look at Metal Health that album withthe guy with the strait jacket, he's
wearing that cool mask. I don'tknow what about it. It's just it's
just cool. It's just absolutely cool, this Asylum mask. Yeah, and

(48:37):
it showed up in other stuff thatwas kind of their their theme, I
guess is some album covers and stuffand using a few videos. Now is
that my favorite Quiet Riot song?No, but it's still slaps, but
the video is fucking great. SoI put that back just because I remembered
so much about it. Number threeNumber three is uh, I ran to

(49:05):
my buddy's house at we got outof school at three and three fifteen.
They were going to show Van Halen'sPanama. So I got this great story
and I have this awesome, likecore memory of the Biplane do. So
I got this great core memory ofthat song because I didn't have MTV,

(49:28):
so we had to go run tomy buddy's house. But it's still not
as good as Hot for Teacher.Hot for Teachers just so great with the
young kids dressed up as the bandmates. It's the best video. And I
don't know why people like Van HalenJump so much. I get it.
It's super stripped down, it's sixteenmillimeter. David Lee Roth had a vision

(49:50):
and everybody praised him for that vision. I just I don't like the song
and I don't like the video.But ask anybody their biggest song and their
biggest video by far is Jump.But nothing is as good as Hot for
Teacher, not even close. Andyou know that Jump video was supposed to
have Like David Lee Roth went outand filmed all this bizarre footage right that

(50:12):
he wanted to use for the Jumpand interlace it in inter edited with what
we saw in the Jump, justthem jumping on on stage. He went
out and spent all his time andmoney just you know, arm wrestling or
you know, wrestling with a lionand all this bizarre costumes and shit that
in his solo career, mitchells here, there's girls all sh there's a muscle

(50:34):
woman here, and he he wentwas that was probably part of the problem
for why they broke up is becauseit was eighty four and and Eddie Van
Hands like, that's not who thefuck we are dude, stop it.
We're just gonna go jump on onstage like Jagos. That's what I was
thinking. So there was tension bruinand that was one of the one of
the little sparks that helped to carrythat breakup on. But people praised the

(50:57):
sixteen millimeter simpleness of that video terrible. It just doesn't come close. Hot
for Teacher is in it. Numberthree, Wow, in it number two.
The last great video rock band,food Fighters Learned to Fly. I
mean they're playing, they're playing multiplecharacters. Tenacious D is in the video,

(51:22):
so you know, Jack Black andKyle are in it, and there's
a little bit of a story toit, and you know, Dave placed
three or four different characters, andeverybody is forced to act when you're in
the Food Fighters, whether you likeit or not. You know, Dave's
got this vision and you just kindof got to be on board, you
know, with all these things,and you're in the Food Fighters, you're

(51:45):
forced to have fun. And thatvideo is so fun and it's my you
know, every long is my favorite. Learn to Fly it's number two,
and then there's everything else. Ihave two favorite Food Fighter songs, and
the fact that the video for thatis so good, better than ever long.
It's just it's one of the alltime greats and my number one is

(52:09):
and I've mentioned it several times andI've pushed people to go watch this video,
and we talked about Josh Freeze beingthe drummer, and how David Fincher,
this director that later went on tomake seven and he did Fight Club
Judith by a perfect circle. It'sjust it's such a cool looking video.

(52:30):
I get it, they don't getthere unless Trent Resner does what he does.
But still, it's just a performancevideo of them in a warehouse and
it's just edited and done so unbelievablywell. It helps that I absolutely love
the song too, but the videois an absolute perfect accompaniment to the song,

(52:52):
and I think it's my favorite video. I think you brought that up
many episodes ago, and I wentback and watched and I was like,
holy shit, this still holds uplike it still holds up. I think
when I probably introduced it as atopic was just when they announced the drummer
Josh Freeze, or even when whenI was I was almost campaigning for Josh
Freeze on this podcast for weeks.I'm like it's the obvious choice. This

(53:15):
is the guy that needs to getthis gig. I said, if you
have any questions about the drumming ofJosh Freeze, go watch the Judith video.
He drives that fucking song. Heis absolute nails in that song.
Wow. You know what zero zerodoubles zero devils. Dude, I had

(53:37):
you down for Hot for Teacher andlearned to fly food fighters, damn not
bad, dude, not bad.I had you down for both of those.
We don't have any overlap. Yeah, that doesn't happen very often.
Holy shit. And I'll tell youquite honestly, I didn't even think about
the Hot for Teacher video. Didn'teven come across my mind. I guess
because I've seen it so many times. Yeah, I don't know. I

(53:57):
just I've watched it a million times. It's still great. But the casting
of those kids is the band members. They looked so good. Yeah,
it was great. They were perfect. Yeah, at the time, that
was pretty groundbreaking video, you knowit plus like and I want to go
back to this the quiet Riot thing. You know you were the right age

(54:17):
because yeah, they were speaking directlyto you being in your bedroom. You
know, a little five on oneand then you're you're you're just cranking out
the tunes and they were talking toyou. You know. Twisted sister did
the same thing, crank cranking outthe knuckle children. Yeah, you just
just just belly babies, you know, just everywhere. It's just terrible.

(54:38):
So anyway, yeah, the itfits, you know. Anyway, nice
list, though, I gotta say, that's that's pretty damn good. Mine
totally different. Holy shit, Okay. I mean I had a lot of
stuff that I wrote down. Igot a bunch. I see, I'm
gonna see what you hit. Goahead. I come out with a very
simple yet powerful video, and Imean powerful as in, holy shit,

(55:00):
is this cool? And I thinkstill holds water today. It's still great.
You're still like, fuck, thosepeople are still cool. Lenny Kravitz,
are you gonna go my way?Great? Think about that. It's
just him. He's a fucking badassrocking out. They got that big like
they're in that thunderdome or whatever.Man, and everyone looks cool even today.

(55:24):
It's not dated cool, it's theyjust look fucking cool. And you
want to go party, You wantto go to that part, you know,
dude, he almost has that lighted. It's almost like a crown of
thorns almost. Remember, like he'sgot that that light that comes down.
I forgot about that. And he'swearing a fucking jumpsuit or something I read
jumpsuit. There's yeah, he's likein this mad Max looking thing. There's

(55:47):
just like rows of people going straightup, like like you see like a
prison. So great, it's solike and you watch you're like, damn
it, that's just still it stillfits. It's still it's dated looking,
you know. Yeah, I wantto go watch that video. That's a
great one. That was number five, number four, And this goes into
the category of I'm in different onthe song, but the video I thought,

(56:12):
and you have to think about whenthis came out, oh like pretty
much the technology wasn't super great todo what they did. Weezer's Buddy Holly,
that's a Happy Days video. It'sthe first time we were introduced to
Weezer. That was the first single. Yeah, so freaking awesome the way
they now, if you weren't aHappy Days fan, you didn't give a
shit. But I was a hugeHappy Days fan. So when they're doing

(56:35):
it, I'm like, wait,how did they what I was so confused.
When I watched the first time,I'm like, this is fucking awesome.
They're on They're playing at Arnold's.They're on Arnold's stage where Potsy would
sing. We could almost do theTop five Spike Jones video. Spike Jones
made that. He made so manygreat videos, and he did make a
lot of great stuff. He workedwith fat Boy Slim and he worked with

(56:59):
we and he just he just wasa different guy. I guess if he
watched If You Were a Jackass,Johnny Knoxville, he kind of written but
those guys a little bit. Yep, he was involved like Jones. But
you know he did the praise Youvideo. Well, I don't want to
ruin anything. I don't know whatyou got coming up. But Spike Jones,
he is and a phenomenal video maker, a music video maker. If

(57:22):
he did he did that Beastie Boysvideo, didn't he was running through New
York all in the seventies, vibewhat if he did this, he might
have dumped the sabotage video. Sabotage. I think it looks like something he
would do. I'll get back.That was number four, number three,
and again I watched it recently andI was like, damn it, this
is still just powerful, especially withyou know, and it kind of brings

(57:44):
it. It brings things kind ofback around with all the school shootings were
stuck with these days. Pearl Jams, Jeremy. I think Eddie Van Eddie
vn Eddie Vetter's performance in that likeholy shit. Like the intensity, Like
when I remember watching that video,I'm like, it's just an intense motherfucker.
Like he's intense. And yeah,I know it's acting for the video

(58:05):
and I get all that, butlike the powerfulness of it is just like
well done. And think about what'sat ninety one. Eddie's got a very
possessed look to him. Yeah,in that the message on it, it
was powerful, and you know,they left a lot you know, they
didn't like get graphic or anything likethat, but they led you to believe

(58:28):
like, oh, that's what thisis about, you know, because you
weren't really sure at first. Youknow, we didn't have the internet like
we do, and look all thisshit up when you saw the video and
then you start people rumbling like,hey man, I think something bad happened
in that classroom. Man. Youknow, you're watching the video and that's
how you kind of found out aboutshit. Yeah, if you go back
now and watch Eddie Vetter's performance andyou just see it, it's like,
oh gee, he now that.I mean, obviously it's acting, it's

(58:51):
a videos, but he smokes it. It's unbelievable. And then the message
is powerful. Is it just stillsticks to with me today? Number two,
I don't know. Let me justsay it and then I'll explain it.
Number two Guns N' Roses November Rain. Now, the video is a
little bit on the nose with allthe rain and the wedding and the bullshit.

(59:12):
Okay, that was a little bittoo literal, But how do you
argue with the solo by Slash infront of that church in the dust and
he's just shredding the ship out ofthat solo. That is one of the
greatest rock star iconic moments in rockthat video, him doing that solo in
front of that church. When hecomes walking out, You're just like,
holy fuck, is that cool?One point five million dollars for that video.

(59:37):
Yeah, at that time, Isaid point five was probably to fucking
pick up that church and throw itin the middle of the desert, just
so Slash could do his solo,and you know, twenty five bucks for
the fan, so half a millionfor that, probably just half a million
for that guitar solo, yeah,I'm thinking. And then the million was
for everything else but the blow.Stephanie seymore Yeah, she was dating as

(01:00:01):
all. And I couldn't tell youwhat anybody's wedding including my ex. I
couldn't tell you what anybody's wedding dresslooks like. I can tell you fucking
seam for for every stitch of thatdress. I can tell you about Stephanie

(01:00:22):
Seymour's wedding dress. It was likea mini skirt in the front. And
then the tree went down and I'mlike, oh my god, what is
that. Why isn't every wedding dresslook like that? Yeah, there's grandparents
at those things, you know whatI mean. Oh my god. She
was so hot though Ricky was inthe video. And then remember it started
raining and everybody's like diving over thefucking table and stuff. It doesn't make

(01:00:45):
any sense. None of it madeany sense. It doesn't matter. Eight
minutes long. It's amazing, it'samazing, it's it's it's bad. And
at number one, this is thisis where like it's crazy. You could
have basically, like when we didthe did we do like Space movies,
it was just just puts all theStar Wars lump them in at number five
because it's basically all of them justare one thing. I kind of thought

(01:01:07):
that, well, it kind ofthought that way about the Foo Fighters.
You could lump in millions of theirvideos and just go just pick one.
I love Learned to Fly. ButI've always thought Ever Long was so great
really because of the way it's thisdream and like I've had all those same
stupid dreams where like your hands arereally big and your feet are really big
and you're fucking fighting. And thenlike, like you know, it's great

(01:01:30):
about it's like you said, ifyou're in that band, you gotta act.
Taylor Hawkins is in bed with BigGirls, boyfriend girlfriend and all the
different parts they're playing, and thenwhat I really, what really hit spoiler
alert in case you haven't seen thevideo, is like the regular song is
over, but the story is stillgoing on in the videos, so like

(01:01:52):
they kind of like rewind and theycome back and then they slam into the
last part of the song again andthey bust out, they rip off all
their dresses and their makeup and theirbullshit, and they're just play it in
the bedroom and it's like that,I just went, oh fucking home run
at the end, home run.So I've always liked that video. I
still love to Learned to Fly though, too. So they are the last

(01:02:14):
great like video, you know,rock band, video band. But here's
what I thought you were gonna maybego. I'm like, wow, I
thought you're gonna really go for acurveball. I know that they're not like
an everyday you know, household world, but their household band name. But
okay go yeah truly is the bestvideo band alive that's still making videos now.

(01:02:37):
Okay go. Here it Goes Againwas their song. It was a
big hit and everyone will know thatthat's them on the treadmills and it was
one take. So after they didit, they kind of realized, oh
shit, that's kind of what we'reknown for now, so let's try that
on another video. And all oftheir videos they continue to make them even

(01:02:58):
though we don't talk about them,we don't play their music, you know,
even Here it Goes Again, itshould be in rotation. It's a
great it's a it's slaps yeah,but have you seen their other videos and
one, yeah, the rooms Goldbergthing. Yes, the guitar players sister
is a movie maker and she justsaid, Okay, this is what we're

(01:03:22):
gonna have to do now, andthey just come up with shit. Go
watch okay, go videos. Youwill be blown away. And the songs
are good, man, They writegood pop songs. Yep, yep.
They are probably the best video band. And they went viral early, you
know what I mean, Like beforewhat viral was, they kind of did

(01:03:44):
go viral with it. Here itgoes again, uh or here we go
again. I think it is right, but you okay, go on the
treadmills that it's awesome. You knowwhat what we didn't pick was, you
know, Tool always made amazing videos, you know they did, but you
know those songs are nine minutes long. I'm like, all right, we
get it. You know. Ijust I thought maybe it was such a

(01:04:08):
big deal when Metallica finally agreed todo a video, right, and they
did it. For one, Inever really liked that song eight minutes.
It's just I just never really thoughtthat was a great song. And I
know people love it, and thevideo was really really good and it didn't

(01:04:30):
look like anything that was happening atthe time. What was happening at the
time bon Jovi, you know,big glossy bon Jovi's what was happening?
And Metallica it was such a fuckyou. We'll give you a video,
but we're gonna do it on ourown terms. We're gonna do it our
own way. It's a great video, stands out. It needs to be

(01:04:53):
mentioned, and you know, Iwould think that people listening might put that
in their top five, and Iwouldn't have a problem with that. It's
an amazing video and it was groundbreaking. You could also probably put in and
I couldn't. I only remember onecurrently. I have to go back and
look at something. But you couldput a lot of linkin Park videos in
there because they would always be innovative. You know. Was that mister Hahn

(01:05:15):
or whatever, the guy in theband, he would direct a lot of
them and put them together. Yeah, they did one that was a cartoon.
It was awesome. So, Imean, there's all cartoon It was
phenomenal. We're missing a ship tonobviously, but there's way too many good
ones to miss anything else. Kindof bubbling under that you were thinking about
well, just because I had mentionedNine Inch Nails. The look of Closer.
Yeah, it's an all time.It's an all time and I love

(01:05:39):
the song and I love the band, and I wanted to get them in
the top five. I went backand watched it and it just looked so
spooky. You wondered, what thefuck is this guy into. I mean
that song just sounded like nothing else. But if you remember him laying on
his back and he's spinning around thosecrazy goggles and shit yeah and you oh
yeah, and then the winds blownat him, he's got the gobbles on.

(01:06:00):
I mean it just the whole thingwas a vibe, was a look.
It's it's one of the all timegreat videos. I mean, if
we did a top ten, itwould have no doubt been in the top
ten. I wanted to mention howimportant the ZZ Top videos were. So
this is going back to nineteen eightythree, and you know they got what
nineteen thirties Car and the girls ZZTop. We're already kind of old men,

(01:06:28):
you know, and you look atwhat was happening on MTV. It
was Duran, Duran and this bluestrio came up with old man beards,
they're already old men, and somehowthey came up with the formula of a
fucking killer car, super hot girls, give me all your loving and the

(01:06:53):
door that they would thrill the keysto and he'd go get laid in the
car. Yes, those the wholething from Eliminator and then what is it
after Burner? So those videos weregreat. That car was awesome. The
key chain, oh yeah, thekey chain was great. The fucking furry
guitars and they spin them around andthen you know, they just and they

(01:07:15):
were kind of they would kind ofpop up and then they would disappear.
They were just like magic. Youdidn't know. I didn't know a lot
about zz top then, you knowthat kind of my introduction to zz top
was Eliminator eighty three. Absolutely,so I get it. You know,
radio stations were playing tush and shitlike that, but so zz top had

(01:07:38):
to be mentioned. I wrote themdown, Okay, go, I wanted
to mention I did write down BeastieBoys sabotage. You were right, that
is Spike Jones. Spike Jones,Spike Jones did Fat Boy Slim's weapon of
choice. Yes, with Christopher Walkin. That's so brilliant, man, London
loves that video. My kid lovesthat video. We do watch the videos

(01:08:00):
on the big screen, and wewatched that. We watch Black Keys Lonely
Boy with the black guy dance andthat's the best too. Man, that's
a great da But she loves andit just happened to you know, I
went to the Black Keys. Iput up that video because it's a good
song, and I knew it wasgoing to be funny. I knew she'd
like that guy dancing, and thenunderneath it it just auto populated fat boy

(01:08:20):
slim weapon of choice and I forgotabout that video. So we started watching
that one and she thought that wascool of Christopher Walkin, and I remember
seeing it for the first time.The record labels used to send out VHSS
of videos when the song was new, and he would also send us VHSS
VHS tapes and I remember just notrealizing number one, how creepy Christopher Walkin

(01:08:48):
is because he looks creepy in thevideo. But how the fuck did they
convince him to do this? AndI remember seeing an interview with him.
He's like, yeah, I'm anold song and dance man. You know,
the guy can tap and he candance. He's like a throwback.
You know all those old movie stars. They couldn't They weren't just actors.

(01:09:09):
Almost everybody could sing. Almost everybodycould dance and play instruments, you know.
I mean, look at Sammy DavisJunior was probably the most talented person
ever in the history of people.But Christopher Walkin was one of those guys
that he could sing. Apparently hecan sing, but he can dance,
dancing ass off, and it justit was so cool. And that was

(01:09:29):
Spike Jones. And then the PraiseYou video is Spike Jones. He's in
the video with the dance troupe.Yeah, they're set up and they're doing
like the first flash mob right again, it's an early adapter to the whole
thing. It was like they gotall these dorks together. They were dancing
to the song and you're like,this is bizarre shit, but awesome.

(01:09:49):
I know we've been talking about BlakeWennity two for some reason, but like
you think about, what, what'smy age again? And they're running down
the street naked, you know,with a nurse. Great video. I
mean, a lot of their videosare great because they're funny. They made
them. They had they were justlike, whatever, We're just gonna make
a video. Okay, We're gonnamake it fun, you know. Yeah,
because there there, that's a funband and they embrace it in their

(01:10:11):
videos and stuff. So it's perfectthe you know. And I'm not even
a fan, but Beck's Devil's haircut. It's got this midnight cowboy vibe going
on where he's walking around the cityand he's got the boom box and the
cowboy jacket. I hadn't seen thatin twenty years. That's a good one.
I'm like, yeah, that's apretty good video. And I don't

(01:10:31):
hate the song, you know,And this one, I thought, let
me go old school ninety nails.I had a list as well. If
you go back and watch the Police'sEvery Breath, you take video right to
refresh your memory. It's three dudesstanding around. It's black and white,
and there's dudewashing windows in the background. But it's great. It's a great
lighting. Remember the lighting. Yousee half the sting's face and then and

(01:10:56):
then it switches and then you seethe other half of his face. So
there was some you know, there'ssome trick, some lighting tricks. There
was some there was some lighting thingsgoing on. But I remember that just
being like cool. I mean,there's a million we can see all freaking
night and talking right, you know, only because I showed my kid.
And this isn't the best parenting moveI've ever made. But I've talked about
doing the rock and roll alphabet withLondon and oh is of course Ozzy.

(01:11:19):
So we started watching videos of allthe bands of the rock and roll ABC's
ac DC is one. You know, food Fighters are f Nirvana's and Queen
is Q. So we pull upAzzi videos. For some reason, she
wanted to see Ozzy and uh andit pulls up the videos and she saw

(01:11:39):
the Bark at the Moon. Shesaw the like the creepy guy. She
said that one. I said,no, baby, this is already a
couple of years ago. She got. She's like, no, that one.
I'm like, I got nah,it's kind of scary. Oh really
I want to see it now forsure? My shit. I'm like all
right, I'm just gonna put iton. Don't tell mom. So we

(01:12:02):
watched it and she's kind of like, Okay, this isn't as cool.
I go, I'm gonna turn itoff. She's like no, which was
a yes, yeah, She's like, no, it was scary, It's
fucking scary. It's really good.I mean it's cheesy, it's cheesy,
it's cheesy good. Right, Yeah, it's tough. When you go back

(01:12:24):
and look at some of the videos, you're like, oh, this is
terrible. His makeup, his makeupis really good. I want to say
that Rick Baker may have done thatmakeup. And that's the guy that won
the very first ever Makeup Academy Awardfor American Werewolf in London. Oh yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it might have Rick Baker may
have done that. Was It's kindof right around the same time. The
only other thing that I wrote downwe can wrap it up is maybe one

(01:12:47):
of the best videos ever, andit's nothing that we would ever talk about.
It's nothing that either of our stationswould ever play, you know,
because there's a lot of great popvideos out there. Oh, I went
back and I watched have you everwatched from start to finish Childish Gambino the
video or This is America? Yeah, that's heavy, Holy shit, I

(01:13:13):
mean, number one talented. It'sactor Donald Glover, which I don't watch.
Whatever he was in. I don'tknow what he was in Atlanta.
Creation was he in something? Idon't know, he was in something.
He's an actor, right. Hisstage name is Childish Gambino. I believe
he pulled that from a Wu tangname generator. There's a website we are

(01:13:38):
going down a rabbit Hole. Now. I think he got his name from
that. But if you've never seenthe video for This Is America, his
dancing, everything about it blows theguy's head off. At the beginning of
the video, his facial expressions,how he smiles, and then it's like,
you know, hey, we're justgonna fake it, like everything's good

(01:13:59):
here, and then of a sudden, something really bad happens it. It's
one of the most powerful four minutes. How that Maybe I don't know.
I didn't really keep up on whatwins Video of the Year anymore. That
should have whatever year that came out. I hope that one video of the
year. Or maybe it's just toocontroversial. I don't know. Yeah,
I mean, you know, youstart going down that road, you start
thinking about Madonna's videos, you startthinking of all that shit. But I

(01:14:21):
don't care. I'm not I don'tcare. I don't It's not my thing.
I don't like a prayer? Right? Was the video like? Actually
that one was pretty good. Shewas dancing around and all the crosses were
burning, and of course I gotin trouble. You know, well,
PEPSI had already given her money thathey, we're gonna get involved with you.
PEPSI gave her all this money.Then they saw the video. They're
like, uh, no money foryou. You're burning crosses and you're kissing,

(01:14:45):
you're making out with black Jesus.We're taking our money back. Don't
catch that check because it's not gonnawork. The video was great. The
video was awesome. I mean,you know it's good. I mean,
you know, you get started talkingabout all the goofy eighties videos where it
was just X run around and you'relike, okay, you know, all
right, I got it, Igot it. Something was just yeah,

(01:15:09):
you're right, Like they realized,okay, this easy top thing works.
These old men are getting spun inheavy rotation on MTV. More chicks in
our videos, and of course itwent in that direction. But for some
reason, it's just done right inthose easy top videos. You know,
it doesn't. I mean, it'sI'm sure by today's lens it's gratuitous but
look silly. Yeah, fuck it, it's great. It's awesome. I

(01:15:30):
love the idea that it was justlike, oh hey, here's our song,
and this shlub is a mechanic andhe's miserable and he ain't got a
check, and then these guys pullup, get him new clothes, give
him the car, and he getsto go get the seats in the front
of the car, all dirty withthe supermodels. And then the next video
they would do the same thing.They told this story like the same three
times for the next three songs.But if I remember correctly, the guy

(01:15:55):
in give Me All Your Love,and that guy was already a fairly handsome
dude, Like they could have gota they could have got a scrubbier dude
get in there. But I getit. You still got to have the
guy in the video and you stillwant everybody watching you. But that guy
didn't seem like he needed to help. I was looking for, I don't
know, someone like myself. Yeah, yeah, holy guy that was saved,

(01:16:15):
you know, like he's a guylike me. So that I could
have the girls in the car andin the key chain and all of that,
I wouldn't be mad about that.You know, I wanted to bring
up the Harry Styles Watermelon Sugar videoagain again because when we went down that
Harry Styles road there, you know, last year, I didn't I'd heard
the song, right, I'm like, oh, this is a nice pop

(01:16:38):
song. This is fun. Thisis summertime by the pool song. It
just has that feeling to it,and I'm like, oh, so the
one day, I just was like, well, you told me to watch
that other video, and I watcheda love fellow in love of the song
and then I'm like, oh,what's watermelon Sugar? Oh cool? I
like that song and I'm a naiveidiot. And then I'm watching a video.
I'm like, holy shitty made upvideo about eating at the why ho

(01:17:02):
Yeah, shit, this is brilliant. He's on the beach and he's like
finger blast and a piece of watermelon. I mean the whole video, and
I'm just watching it going I'm anidiot. I had no idea that that's
what the song is about. I'mlike, oh, no, I hear
it. I just start laughing.I just start laughing. It's even better

(01:17:23):
because you know the audience that he'sselling that too, and you know,
you know, what I mean,Like he's getting away with that on this
crazy popular pop song yep, andI love it. I think that's great
when you can get a message acrossand it's just kind of goes over people's
head and it's funny and he's onin on the joke, brilliant. Yeah,
it's it's Prince would do that,you know, Like Prince was a

(01:17:44):
pop star. But you know hehad a song called sugar Walls. What
the fuck you think he's talking about? Okay, gingerbread houses, I mean
sugar walls. I think that's theinside of Sheena Easton's vagina. I guess
it by Yeah, yeah, hemust really good. Yeah, all right,

like I seen it, I seenit. I seen it, I seen

(01:20:17):

All right, I don't watch thatship final thoughts. Uh, you know

what else am I gonna talk abouttoday? We covered everything in the
world on this podcast. We didwe talked about oh you know what we
didn't talk about. We didn't bringup kiss once. We covered all our

(01:20:42):
normal basses, So I'm not evengonna bring it up anymore. But there
you go. Well, now wedid cover Kiss Van Halen food Fighters.
Very good, Thank you, goodwork. Is that one of your shirts
that you're wearing right now if youlook at a nice little segue like an
accompaniment to the commercial I just did. Yeah, I'm wearing a shirt that
says Pirate's Alley on It's a streetsign that would be in Pirate's Alley in

(01:21:05):
New Orleans and the French Quarter,and it's it's just like like the street
line SA. A street sign saysNew Orleans on it. It's a very
comfortable soft shirt. It's very lovely. That's one of a few we have
available at Pirates of the Quarter dotcom. It's nice I wear all the
time. People like, would youdid shirt? I'm like, I don't
know, I had it. Apparentlyall we do is talk about Kiss Van
Halen food Fighters and T shirts onthis show. But my shirt right here

(01:21:28):
that I am wearing it says,don't hear the finger. This finger is
meant to show this. This fingeris supposed to be your doctor's hand,
and this finger is supposed to goin your butt hole. Fellas and it's
something that you have to do.It's Prostate cancer Awareness month. So I

(01:21:48):
keep talking and you do a greatjob on these commercials boobs rock, but
it's uh, we sell Our promotionthis month is kick ass and uh and
it's for prostate it's for the guys. And you know how dumb dudes are
cement heads. I don't mind sayingit. You know a lot of guys
out there, if you don't havelike a really good woman that's on your

(01:22:09):
ass, that's you know, she'smaking you go to the doctor. There's
a lot of dudes out there thatdon't have somebody and you just put it
off and put it off. Oneof the most treatable cancers is prostate cancer.
If found and detected early, onein eight of us fellas are going
to go through this in our lifetime. One in eight of us. Okay,

(01:22:31):
And the numbers aren't getting better,they're getting worse. So as some
of you younger fellas that follow thisalong, when you get a little bit
older, it might even be worse. So all I say is for everything,
you got to go to the doctorat least once a year. Let
them look at you, you knowwhat I mean? Like I've had ship
cut out of me before, becauseyou know, I'm fish belly white.

(01:22:55):
So I've had a couple of thingscut out of me. You know,
nothing major, you know, inand out type stuff. But you gotta
get that prostrate checked fellas. Okay, again, when I say it's when
I say it's one of the mosttreatable cancers. You gotta catch it early.
If caught early, it's no bigdeal. They'll go in there and

(01:23:15):
get rid of it. Right.So this is my shirt. The messages
we sell this shirt. It says, don't fear the finger. It's just
it's not a big deal, okay. And then when you start getting really
old balls Jason myself, then yougotta get a camera jammed up there and
they gotta take pictures and do allof that stuff, the colonoscopy. These
are important things, and I justdon't want you to put it off.

(01:23:38):
And all we do is sit aroundand tell jokes and talk shit on this
podcast. And I do the samething on the air. You do the
same thing on the air. Butevery now and then, like we gotta
look into the camera and we gotto talk into this microphone, and we
gotta say, listen to the wordsthat are coming out of my mouth.
Okay, go get checked fellas.That's it if you do want to get
into the store and get some merchandise. All of them, you know,

(01:24:00):
goes to research that. You know, we've got the best medical center in
the world here in Houston. Sowhen these things are, when these things,
when they discover how they're going toprevent this from happening. I think
it's going to happen here. Ido. With the breast cancer and everything.
That's just not me, you know, being a hometown fan. It

(01:24:24):
just I think it's going to happenhere. They're just they're they're they're getting
closer and closer and closer. There'speople the team of doctors that we adopted,
doctor Lucci. It looks like BillySquire. He plays guitar with a
bunch of other doctors, but he'sone of the leading guys in the world,
you know, on this cancer thing. And you know, I've been

(01:24:45):
invited to the lab. I've heldcancer in my hand in a Petri dish,
and we give his team of doctorsmoney. They're like, get a
cure, man, find a cure. He's like, that's what we do
every day. Here, Rod,That's why I come. That's why I'm
coming to work tomorrow. I'm gonnawork tomorrow. We're we're gonna we're gonna
get a cure for these things.So it's exciting that that stuff happens.

(01:25:06):
But the sad part of it is, I'll keep it to the prostate cancer.
It's just guys, guys, guys, guys. The stuff's not gonna
fix itself. You know, peoplehave a fear of going to the doctor
because they're wondering what they're gonna find. Don't you want it to be found
early. It's not gonna fix itself. It's not gonna go away. And

(01:25:29):
I get it. You're just buyingmore time, buying more time. But
you can catch these things early.I'm sorry going on too long. Guys,
guys will polish your motorcycles, changeoil in their car and take care
of that kind of shit like clockwaThey won't, they won't get they won't
get the finger in the fanny.They just won't do it. You know.
Yeah, I'm not a man.Then you know, it's fine,
It's fine. Nobody cares, reallyknow, not everybody listening has you know,

(01:25:53):
health insurance, and I know there'sobstacles. I'm not I'm not deaf
to that, right. You gotto find a way. You got to
find a way, guys, toget into the doctor and get checked.
You really do. And then whenyou start really and looking at things,
you know, when you're you startlooking at I know I'm really off off
base here, but you know yourteeth and your gums. You know,

(01:26:15):
these guys haven't been to the dentistin a long time. Your teeth and
gums is so linked to your overallhealth. And when you got like and
when you got raddy ass shit happeningin your mouth and stuff that all of
that stuff it's going into your body. It's bad. It's really really bad
for you. It's not just like, oh, I don't care about my
teeth. No, your teeth arehooked up to everything. It's all part
of it. I just if everyyear I go on this rant and there's

(01:26:40):
a guy that listens when I whenI go in in the beginning of the
year and I get the finger inmy fanny because I get that's part of
my physical I gotta go in thefirst three months of the year to keep
my insurance and all of that,and I always talk about this kid that
emails me. So that emailed meand he said, you know, I
put together this big montage of thefinger and the fan and I'm playing slide

(01:27:02):

Yeah, it's in there. Igot this whole musical montage. And he
got on his dad to go andthey detected something and they got in there
early. And he emails me becauseI tell his story every year. He's
like, Rod, I'm still here. I'm still listening and still say that

guy. So that's it. Oneguy, one guy. We got it
was the kid that got his dadto go and and and they were able
to take care of it. Soby the shirts, get the shirts,
the buzz dot com there you goto podcasts. There was like a whole

(01:27:46):
second podcast that's all right, dude, no, no, it's it's true
because guys are dumb. I getit, man, We just I'll get
around to it. Because what we'retaking care of everybody else, it's kind
of like it's in our DNA.It's like, okay, let me just
take care of everybody. I'm gonnago out, I'm gonna do the hunting.

(01:28:08):

care of yourself as well. You'reYou're no good to You're not gonna be
able to take care of people ifyou don't take care of yourself. Think

(01:28:30):
you think about it that way.You want to be around a good long
time to take care of all thosepeople that you love. It's funny because,
like you know, you get tocertain age ours and you know,
you start having those conversations a littlemore often, you know, and it's
like somebody asked me, like,yo, how can you run? How
can you eat like you do?And I go, I go, well,
I got two reasons. I gotthree reasons. I'll tell you right
now. It ain't because of me. I don't give a shit. I'm

(01:28:50):
cool whatever, I'm that dude.I won't go. But I said,
I got two kids that I wantto see as long as I possibly can
in right, and I don't wantthem burying me at a young age.
Them be a little bit older soit doesn't affect them for they're a longer
part of their lives. I said, yeah, and the thought of my
wife having a next husband would driveme nuts. Oh yeah, there's gonna

(01:29:15):
be swing in my pool. Fuckthat guy. I hate that guy.
I already hate that guy. Iwould never be that guy that pieces out
and say, you know what,go ahead, have fun, get somebody
else. Fun't get anybody else.Oh I was there, I did it
all good. No, So that'swhy this. You know, find your
reason, find your your your motivationto go do it, you know.
I mean obviously when you're driving there, you're gonna be thinking the whole all

(01:29:35):
of like, Oh, there's gonnabe a man's finger up in my guts.
You don't want to think of itthat way. Don't think of it
that way. Find your motivation,your kids, your wife, whatever.
Maybe you want to play sports longer, you want to ride your motorcycle along,
whatever you want to do. Findyour motivation and get your ass to
the doctor. How about this.This would be a good way to close.
This is real time, fellas,this is real time, and this

(01:29:57):
is a little bit better for thoseof you that are watching on on the
YouTube. But so here's here's Rod'sbutt hole right here. Hopefully it's not
that big about So here's Rod's butthole, and here comes my little fingered
Indian doctor. Okay, little doctorde Suza, find yourself a guy with
a small hand. Okay, don'tget you don't want fucking Andre the Giant
going in there. You want littledoctor de Suza. Okay, in your

(01:30:20):
oil brown, great guy. Sothis is it in real time. Here
he goes. He's like, okay, well you know what time it is.
Now. I'm like, okay,so bend over, boom, drop
your pants, boom. You're sittingthere and you're just waiting. Right.
So he's got the glove on,he puts the jelly in there. Hey
wait then, could you could youjust go a little slower and a little
sexier because I want you to dothis real time. Here he goes,

(01:30:43):
Now you're bent over, he goes, okay, he goes in one two
three out. That's it. That'sit. He goes one, one,
two three. He's rubbing your prostateto see if it's uneven and if there's
any nodules or things on there.So he's just he's in want like a
like a windshield wiper on your prostate. One two three, he's out.

(01:31:06):
Now where it gets weird is hemakes you smell it after No, No,
he doesn't do that, but heputs it on the thing, and
it's like you want to see ifit's dirty or not. You know,
but you got that gel in yourass. There's there's no wiping up.
You're walking out of here and yourasshole is squishing because you know, there's

(01:31:27):
a little bit of the gel comingoff of the finger. So if you
don't have a bathroom on your wayout of the doctor's office, you're driving
home with a slippery asshole. Yeah, then you gotta go wipe up when
you get home. But you're likesquishing around on the drive home. But
you're gonna be thankful that he usesthat whatever that jelly is. Yeah,
if you're here, go and spiton his finger. You might be the

(01:31:50):
wrong place. Oh, you don'twant to go in there raw dog and
dry either, you know. Yeah, it's weird. You don't wipe your
ass in front of the doctor.Let you I don't think, Okay,
you've been violated. You pull yourpants up. That's usually the last thing
you do. He doesn't want tohang out with you any longer after that
either. Nobody does. So it'sit's at the end of the exam and

(01:32:11):
then boom, you go over,you write your thing, and then you
gotta you're walking out of there andyour ass cheeks are kind of going back
and forth and they're just there's thatthere's some extra lube in your butt hole.
I know I'm not helping by sayingthis, but you're gonna have to
make jokes. You gotta have somelevity. But you go home and you're
sit in the shower, You're you'recurled up like Elizabeth's shoe and leaving Las
Vegas right in the showers. Noone can tell you see your tears.

(01:32:35):
It's not that bad. It reallyisn't better on the crying game. You're
good. See, you have tomake jokes about it, but find your
motivation and go get it done anyway. I can't believe nobody listens to this.
