(01:25):
healthy. I don't. I haven'tdrink beers. Dude, it's almost three
years since I've had a drink ofbooze. Wow, three years, isn't
that crazy? It's yeah, it'ssuper nuts to think about that. Now
if this is your first time listeningto the podcast. I didn't quit because
I was an alcoholic. I justquick because one day I went, yeah,
I'm done, Like literally, that'swhy I quit. That's what I'm

(01:48):
done. I haven't touched since.I mean, what's your I mean just
the number one takeaway boom, whatis it? It sucks going out with
drunk people. Okay, looking blows, dude, drunk people, honesty,
because I wasn't expecting that to bethe first thing out of your yapper.

(02:08):
But yeah, when you're not drinkingand the people drinking around you, they're
dumb. They repeat stuff. Yeah, and you know it's it's tough because
you know they repeat stuff. Theyrepeat stuff. It's kind of like that.
Yeah, No, it's it's uh. Personally for me, I just
uh. At first, it wasweird to go out and people are drinking

(02:30):
around you, and I'm just like, so I started just drinking water.
Well, then I found out thatdrinking water constantly sucks. So I started
getting into like mocktails and shit,which are delicious, by the way,
And I found the first month Istarted feeling physically better. And then after
like a couple of months, Ijust felt really good. And then I
felt like I was sharper. Mybrain seemed to work a little faster,

(02:53):
and uh, it just you knowit, and it feels that way still,
you know. I mean, I'mnot that smart of a guy,
so I'm gonna take every advantage Igot, So why not get crowded up
with the booze? So I doI feel sharper, I feel more alert
all the time, I sleep better. You know, I'm not saying you
got a quick drink and do yourthing, man, that that's not what
this is about. It. Itwas just one day I just went,

(03:15):
nah, I'm done. I'm notI'm not gaining anything out of this,
you know, but you were donewith that and meat and everything like all
at the same time. Was itthe same like cut that you made.
It was pretty much. Yeah.I just one day I just was like,
what am I doing? What amI doing with my life here?
You know what I mean? Itwas a weird thing and there was no

(03:35):
like traumatic experience that happened. Well, okay, wait a minute. Was
there a documentary involved with your decision? I can't remember the name. I
don't know what the hell. Let'scall it was on Netflix, and it's
they broke it down. They brokedown like what meat is doing to your
body? And all the ship andthey did the blood test with professional athletes
and one with all the meat eater. It was just gummed up with goo

(03:57):
and fat. And then the meateater was clean and sweet looking and great.
So you know, I started doingthe math, and I have high
cholesterol, and it's like, well, this just seems to be good math,
good science on my end of theworld. So I just stopped eating
meat, and you know, I'llcheat, I'll have crawfish, I'll have
some shrimp, once in a while, or you know what I mean,

(04:18):
Like it's it's not a it's nota doctor's order. It's what I wanted
to do. And because I'm anass, Like when I eat one chip,
I'll eat the whole bag, youknow what I mean. Or I'll
have one cookie and I'll go forthe whole bag. And that's the way
I eat. I'm skinny guy,but I don't eat. I didn't eat

(04:39):
well. Fast food was my thing. Man. I loved hitting drive throughs.
I'd hit drive throughs four or fivesix times a week. I haven't
hit a drive through in three years. So, okay, you feel better,
you look great, you have highenergy. Is there anything that you
got as a report card from yourdoctor that said, hey, look at
these numbers. I mean, didyou do not have high cholesterol anymore?

(05:02):
I mean, I guess your bloodpressure was okay. Did what do you
have to show outside of feeling better? Is there anything? Is there any
test results, anything that has comeback and said, oh my god,
boom, look at my my enzyme, my numbers, anything, My ship's
good. My numbers are good.Now. In all fairness, look,
I'm not gonna sit here and gowell, I clean up my diet.

(05:25):
I'm perfect. Fuck no, Istill take cholesterol medicine. I okay,
because it's it's it's hereditary. Ieat well, you know, I fell
out the waggon, have some chipsand do all the bullshit still, but
with the meds. My my ship'son point. Man. Everything is tight.
It's good. My numbers are allgreat in the green and you know,

(05:46):
with a little bit of exercise,you know, almost fifty fuck two
this year. Jesus. I'll keepup with anybody who's in their twenties.
Dude, I'll roll, you know. And that's the difference. I see
guys my age, a lot ofthem, and man, they can barely
walk and they're just they just looklike shit. They're they're out of shape,
you know what I mean. Andit's like, no, that ain't

(06:09):
me, dude. I got akid. My kid's almost fifteen, and
I want to be able to stillkick the ball and run around. You
got the same situation, only crazierbecause you're older than me, and my
kid's younger and your kid's younger.You know. There's that's what really got
me. It was like, man, I want to be able to hang
with my kid. You know whatI mean. When he gets older,
like now he's in that spot whereit's like, holy shit, he'll run

(06:29):
circles around my ass now, youknow. But I can still do things.
He wants to go for a bikeride, we can do it.
We travel, we want to snorkel. We're snorkeling, you know. So
that's why I do it. Endgame, That's why I do it. But
I do remember specifically because I thinkSue, my sister, she watched that
same documentary and I said, okay, now, hang on, Jason's going

(06:50):
Banana's over here. And I rememberSue saying, you know, I might
be able to get rid of themeat, you know, and she didn't.
But that documentary was pretty powerful.I remember a lot of people they
just weren't as strict as you.A lot of people kind of like went
in it more of a vegan routeafter watching it. I never watched it.

(07:14):
I remember the name of it,but you can look it up.
It's really well done. And look, I was eating a shit ton of
fast food and I was eating justI was just eating terrible, terrible shit
man all the time, fried everything, And you know, I went to
the extreme to try and break myselffrom that, and I was that the
right way. I don't know it'sworking for me, but have I peeled
back a little bit? Yeah?Man, Like I said, if I'm

(07:36):
in a restaurant and they don't havean option that I like, then I'll
get fish, you know what Imean. But it's once every six weeks.
You know. It's forced me tobe a hell of a lot better
eater, you know, and Ido. I feel I feel way more
energetic, you know. Was itwas? It called game changers? Game
changers. That's a real easy oneto remember. You think I would have,

(07:58):
but it hasn't helped my brain andit all apparently uh huh. But
I remember my sister because the ArnoldSchwarzenegger documentary was really good, by the
way, but she said that hewas in there and he was talking about
how wrong he was back in theday and thought he needed meat to get
protein, and uh and he mustbe pretty compelling in there, talking about
the other ways that you can getprotein and how much protein is in broccoli

(08:20):
and all these other things, right, right, Yeah, I mean,
you can get the job done.Look, at the end of the day,
don't eat a whole bag of chipshave a couple occasions. You can
really clean up your your life byjust just eliminating a few things you have
to go nuts, Like I didyou know that? Being said, I
was talking to somebody the other dayand I'm like, I haven't been on
you know, if I ever takeanother trip to like Europe or somewhere,

(08:41):
and I go to France or someshit, bitch, I'm drinking some wine,
you know what I mean? Like, I'll drink wine. I would.
It'd be because if I'm gonna bethere one in Rome, drink the
wine, you know what I mean? Like, wait, wait, so
I've always heard this too. Idon't think I don't know this is in
your future. I know that youused to hunt a little bit. Would

(09:03):
you ever think of going out andhunting? And would you eat what you
caught or shot or killed? Ihaven't hunted since I was like seventeen,
so yeah, I mean look backthen, it was like you anytime we
hunted, and I did it withmy dad and stuff is is you hunted
if you got something and it didn'thappen very often at my house, But
if you did, you had youkept all the meat. You ate the

(09:24):
meat all winter long. I meanit was, it was used. It
wasn't just for sport, you knowwhat I mean, it wouldn't. Did
your dad make you do that?Yeah, we drank out of it.
You know. He'd he'd give usthe deer apples and the balls and said,
Harry eat these, and it wouldeat him like an apple, the
whole thing. No, no,no, but yeah, you would,
you would do it. But nah, I have no interest in and I
didn't, you know after a while. You know the thing about hunting that

(09:45):
got me. I like going outin the woods, wandering around. I
loved all that shit. And Iliked because it was always like meet the
guys, get coffees, hang out, and then go fucking shit, kill
shit. Well, I liked togetting coffee and walking around the wood stuff.
I didn't really they could just gofor a hike. Yeah, I
mean, I've never went hunting.It just wasn't in my family. We
weren't like a gunn family, sowe just never did it, you know.

(10:09):
But I mean I get the wholething of going away for the weekend
and having a big party with yourbuddies, but getting up and sitting at
a fucking dear blind for five ninehours. That doesn't seem cool or fun
again. I just I never hadthe heart to try and kill something.
But what really made me stop hunting, and it's pretty freaking logical, is

(10:33):
I mean, you know you standaround and you're all talking shooting the ship.
Well, why don't you and Larrygo down over here along this hedgerow
and you and Jimmy go over hereand we'll go here. You know your
game plan in the day's hunt,right when you're standing on a big circle
and you're all a bunch of jagofsout there with your orange blaze orange suits
on, and shit, man,you just look like asses. But everyone's

(10:54):
standing there with a shotgun in theirhand. And look when I went,
my dad said, look, ifyou're gonna if you're gonna hunt it with
me, you're gonna go to thecourse. You're gonna take the classes.
You're gonna learn to shoot, You'regonna learn to take the gun apart,
you're gonna learn to put it backtogether and clean it. And he's like
he was old school man. He'slike, you're gonna learn it forward and
backwards, and you're gonna be safelike furth Gump literally and Uh, so

(11:16):
we did all that. But you'dstand around with all these guys and they'd
stand there with their hand over theend of the barrel, just leaning on
the gun. You'd be standing aroundlike a you know, like you would
stand around having beers with your buddiesin a in a circle, and you
just I looked down more barrels ofguns, and I was And that's when
I was like, yeah, I'mout. I'm done. You guys get

(11:37):
it. I'm look. I can'twait to read the comments, you know,
on the YouTube page. And andI get it. People kill people,
guns don't kill people. I getall of that. But man,
I am just not comfortable around guns. I've gone out shooting before. It's
fun, it's awesome. I meanI've shot some really cool guns too,

(11:58):
man and them it's cool. Butjust being around guns is just weird for
me, just because I wasn't aroundthem. So, I mean, it's
just like if you never wrote amotorcycle, it would be weird for you
to be on a motorcycle, youknow, whatever you're around. You know,
motorcycles were always around. Guns werenot. I you know what,

(12:18):
I don't worry about guns. Ireally don't it's dipshits with guns. It's
people who don't want to handle them. It's it's like, you know,
that's why I quit hunting. Icouldn't be around these guys. These guys
are all in their forties, fifties, sixties. I'm sixteen years old.
I'm super safe guy with a gun, and they're walking around and I can't
tell you how many times I lookdown the barrel of multiple guns every day

(12:41):
out hunting. I'm like, God, damn, I'm not doing this anymore.
This is scary shit. These dipshits aren't even unload in the car,
and the whole thing guns. Alot of times it's the dumb ass
is that shouldn't be having it.I got no problem around guys who I
know know how to handle a gun. I still don't like it being around
a room with a people with guns. But if I don't know you and

(13:01):
you got a gun, I'm prettymuch jetting out of the situation. You
know, And we used to Igrew up with guns, twenty two's shotguns.
Well, Gage and my dad usedto save like old TVs, the
old tube type back in the eighties, you know, and in glass and
we'd shoot that ship out of thatstuff. And there's nothing more fun than
spending a day's shooting shit. It'sfun. But again, we were safe,

(13:22):
super crazy safe. Man. I'mcity folk. What can I say?
I'm a city guy guy, Ikind of I grew up country a
little bit. You know. Wewere out in the woods all the time
shooting shit. Where Jason grew up. I mean even though we I mean
we grew up. We didn't goto grade school, we didn't meet until
college. But there's a there's abit of a difference between where. I

(13:45):
believe me when I say I'm cityfolk. I'm from north Tonawanda, for
crying out loud. But there wasno like guns. There was no place
to go hunting. You could gohunting in Lockport, you know, you
could go ten minutes from your houseprobably and go hunting right totally so that
I couldn't do. And I don'tknow, maybe that played into it.

(14:05):
There just wasn't I don't know,there just wasn't a lot of that going
on. Anyway. I am watchingI just finished up watching a documentary,
dude, and I will recommend itno spoilers other than I just realized that
Danny McBride is somewhat behind it asan executive producer. Danny McBride is like

(14:28):
the golden child over at HBO,right, he really is. I mean,
you know, eastbounding down the RighteousGemstones. And then I don't know
if that other thing that he did, like the Vice Principles, that that
must have been on there too,But he must have some long term deal.
He's awesome, so anything that hehas his name on has got to
be great. Dude. Three partsit's telemarketers. Tell me you've gotten the

(14:52):
call before, and I know nobodypicks up their spam calls. You probably
don't know, but have you gottenburned even in the last five years.
The guy on the other line said, hey man, Jason Glad, I
caught you at home. Listen.I'm calling about the Fraternal Order of Police.
The police need your help, blahblah blah. And they go right
into that where they talk about thepolice need your help. Oh yeah,

(15:16):
no, I've like listened to thewhole thing too. I've listened to it
too, because the guy's calling meRodney Ryan and then he goes into rod
Ryan. I'm like, oh God, this guy's at the police station and
he knows who I am, andhe's going to tell all these cops that
I hung up on him and ohyeah, we talked to rod Ryan.
This guy's always talking back in theblue. That piece of shit hung up
on me today. That's what I'mthinking is going to happen before I watch

(15:41):
this documentary. Right, it's thebiggest scam in the country. Bro,
really freaking believable. It's been goingon for twenty five thirty years now.
This kid started working at this telemarketingfirm when he was sixteen, twenty five
years ago. They know they're rippingpeople off. What happens is and I'll

(16:03):
just give you that. This isthis the basis of this, the Fraternal
Order of Police, they're in onit. The place comes to them and
says, hey, we'll fundraise foryou and we'll give you this amount of
money. They're like, you knowwhat, that's better. We don't have
the people to do it. Youhave the infrastructure, you're all set up.
The problem is the place that's setit up is keeping ninety percent of

(16:27):
the money because they promised next numberof dollars, right, and they're given
ten percent to the Fraternal Order ofPolice and the guys that came up with
the speech and hires all the peopleand does all it, hires all criminals.
If you can't get a job,the one place you can work is
a telemarketer. One of the topsalesman on there, like killed somebody was

(16:49):
in jail for thirty years and thenhe couldn't find a job anywhere. They
know that they're ripping people off,but they still work there and they don't
even work on commission. But there'ssome high of like hitting your numbers every
day and they do it for fifteentwenty bucks an hour because they can't work
anywhere else. The police know aboutit. But as long as they're getting

(17:15):
their numbers, who can't getting theirnumber. But what's happening is when they're
on the phone, they're now startingto say, hey, we are working
directly with the police. They usedto have to say they were fundraising for
the police. They can trick youinto thinking you're talking to the actual police.
It's fucking insane, dude, thatthis has been going on all these

(17:36):
years. And then they get busted, they get fined, and then they
just open up shop under another name. And the thing about it is the
police know, so they go allthe way up to Capitol Hill, and
nobody wants to go against the police. Sure, because they're still getting some
money. Now, then they startgoing into some corruption here in Houston.

(18:00):
The guy that was the Fraternal Orderleader, he was, you know,
misappropriation of funds and everything. Holyshit, the amount of money they're bringing
in, dude, and they're bilkingold people. As soon as you're on
the phone and you hear the police, the cops, Oh my god,
I'm gonna give you thirty bucks,and you guys are gonna go by.
You're gonna go buy bulletproof vest forour boys. Okay, great, Yeah,

(18:22):
I love they talked. They talkedto police that were injured, that
never received any money nothing. It'sawesome. I mean it's terrible. Sure,
there's a couple of guys. There'sone guy on there that he's almost
kind of like the Tiger King kindof guy. He's a goofy guy and
you're kind of like rooting for him. But he also was on Harroin.
I mean, it's it's three parts, it's an hour apiece, and it's

(18:45):
really good. It's not as goodas Tiger King, but it's really good.
Dude. I think it's one ofthose ones that like everyone's gonna be
talking about soon, that's crazy.Yeah, I've gotten that call, and
you know, and I've always declined, always found a way. But it's
like you always felt like an assholebecause I'm like, it is the police.
Kind of glad I was an assholenow, you know, not the

(19:07):
police. It's not the police.Holy shit. So an obvious question to
ask is what percentage of my moneyis going to the charity you say it
is? If you even wanted toengage with somebody on the phone. That's
the one thing that I learned thatwas the takeaway. You ask them,
who are you? What is yourjob? Now? They just flat out

(19:30):
lie. They say, well,we're with the Fraternal Order of Police.
They can say that now even thoughthey're not. They make you believe that
they're they're cops, right. Butthe one thing that they kind of have
to be honest about, if there'sany honesty at this point, Okay,
if I give you thirty five forty, if I give you fifty bucks,
what percentage is going to the FallenOfficers Fund or whatever? And I think

(19:52):
they kind of supposed to have totell you now whether they do or not
whatever Bucks, Holy dude, that'sHBO Max. It's uh. And then
I just, like I said,I watched the third episode and it was
when I just left it running andI caught Danny McBride's name on it.
I looked it up and he's theexecutive producer. So this kid just started.

(20:15):
He must have had like an oldhigh eight VHS camera back in the
day and he was just filming.Oh he kind of like, you know,
he was sixteen, he dropped outof school and he went with all
these this other riff raff that workedat this call out center, and uh,
oh, it's good, dude,it's good. M M, it's

(20:38):
yeah, come on with me,Rodney. There's a Wolf of Wall Street.
Dude, Holy shit, it's literallythe Wolf of Wall Street. It's
all they started. I just lovedthat Matthew mcconney's seeing when he's pound in
his chest. It's weird too,because the guys are almost the guys that
kind of came up with the scriptsand you know, started the businesses and
stuff. They talk about them alittle bit, but they're almost untouchable kind

(21:03):
of like that. I don't knowif it's David miscavage or whatever. When
I used to I was getting intothat scientology on A and E for a
while. The leah remini right,these people that are so high up,
like you can't get at them inScientologist. You just can't get at them.
You can't find them, you can'tapproach them nothing. And the guys

(21:26):
that started this telemarketing thing, it'slike they really don't have a lot on
them. It's insane. They payfines and then boom, they just open
up somewhere else. It'd be coolto get the script because what happens is
it's it's all in the wording.You know, you word things properly.
Those scripts are very scienced out.Plus they immediately get you back on your
heels when they say they're the FraternalOrder of the Police. As soon as

(21:49):
you hear police, first thing,you start thinking because you're not really paying
attention. When you pick up thephone you hear police, You're like,
oh shit, what's wrong. Wellthen you realize you're fundraising, so your
brain starts to go, oh okay, so nobody's in trouble here. Oh
it's the police. Well, whoawe gotta back the blue here, man,
I'm gonna listen, give more time, and then they're just punching away
once they know that that first tenseconds they got you kind of disheveled and

(22:11):
on your heels, and then theystart punching you and they bring you in.
It's it's all the wording. Butthe script is if they say they
just had a family member pass away, they don't have money, there's an
answer for that. There's an answercancer. Oh really, what kind of
cancer? I'm sorry to hear that, sir. And then they engage you.
They have They will not let youget off the phone without getting okay,

(22:33):
you can't do the gold membership?Can I can? I can?
I count on you for the Silvermembership? And they push push, push,
dude. And then the other thingis they send out that sticker,
the Fraternal Order of Police. Theysend out that sticker and they lead you
to believe that if you have thatsticker on your car, and they do
this, and they almost shake downbusinesses like Bodega's and stuff in New York

(22:57):
and New Jersey. They think theyalmost make it seem like if you have
that sticker up, you're gonna gettaken care of. They're gonna know,
and they're gonna really keep an eyeon your place. So they and they
showed all these places with these stickers. Every one of these junkies that's working,
they've got these boxes of stickers andthey just send them out. They

(23:18):
don't mean anything, you know.I've heard those stories were like if you
head one on your bumper, youget pulled over. It's kind of like
a get out of jail free card. You're letting them believe that. They
don't flat out say that. Butgrell and I'm gonna get you that sticker
in the mail, and let metell you put it on there proudly.
You know that you helped out,and they're gonna know that you helped you

(23:38):
know, or we you know,we will recognize that you helped out.
And it's all about getting people thatsticker. And they just go around and
the businesses and then one last thingon it. This guy is a crackhead
and he's like, let me showyou how this works. He sees Joe
the plumber, he sees the vanand the phone number. He calls the
phone number on the van. Guypicks up. It's like, listen,

(24:00):
here's the deal man. Fraternal Orderof Police, we're doing this and we're
calling local businesses, businesses like yoursthat rely on the community. Well,
the community relies on the police.Blah blah blah. Inside of five minutes
on the phone with this guy,he's got a thousand dollars out of him.
He's standing in the street just showinghow we can do it. They

(24:22):
got to commit to a thousand dollarsplumbing. He saw the van out on
the street and he called the numberon the side of the van and then
you just go buy a bunch ofcocaine. Crazy, dude, it's Wolf
of Wall Street. Ship dude,It's Wolf of Wall Street. Wow,
I'm gonna watch it. Yeah again, I'm like, did I give anything

(24:44):
away? No, because it's justit's wild, man, it's wild,
and the character and the guys arecharacters. There's like two main guys on
there. And the kid just startsrecording stuff when he's sixteen years old,
just has an interest in in filmingand everything, and then he kind of
wanted to be a documentary filmmaker andhe started this twenty years ago and he's
got all the footage and everything ofpeople, you know, doing the calls

(25:08):
and shaking people down. Wild.I'll have to watch that this weekend at
some point. So it's called Telemarketersand it's on HBO Max. All right,
yeah, good good, I'll watchthat. You know, we didn't
even bring up the fact that wedo have a top five list today in
this episode. Oh yeah, wedo something that we brought up previously on
the show. Yeah. This thissaved us from having to think this week

(25:30):
top five favorite one hit wonders.I like this one, dude. I
think this is cool. Because I'mlooking doing my research, I'm like,
oh shit. But then I startedthinking about, like, well, what
how I started getting into the weedsbecause I overthink everything, right, and
it's like, so what you know, Like, I know you're a big
fan of Nathaniel rate Lift and theNights Nights Sweats Night Stalkers whatever fuck it

(25:55):
is and The Nights Sweats Sweats.Okay, good, I'm glad I got
the But like, his one technicalhit is that Son of a Bitch song,
right, I mean that's his hit. The rest of it was never
like a crossover hit technically. Imean that's where you get in the weeds,
because I don't throw them into thatcategory because they got a million songs
Okay, So here's why I don'tput that in there, because one hit

(26:19):
Wonders there were very limited ways toget a hold of the song. You
had to hear it on the radio, or you had to go out and
buy it in physical form. Andyou know, as well as I do,
Nathaniel rate Lift, one hit Wonderis not going to sell out a
couple of nights at Red Rocks inDenver. Yeah, that's a good point.

(26:41):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'mjust curious. I'm just curious because
we're consuming things differently. But that'sexactly why I don't have a lot of
new stuff on here, because Imean, now gotier it's a one hit
wonder right in the modern era.And then I think even when we kind
of toyed with this, we talkedabout SI and the Gandham style Gandam dance

(27:03):
or whatever it was, the macarena. It's older. But when you look
at the old songs, and it'sreal easy just to get trapped in the
eighties. And I tried not todo that when I when I was coming
up with my favorites. But man, like the eighties one hit wonders are
kind of the best. You know, there's a million of them too.
There's a well, I think partof that comes down to radio, and

(27:26):
you know, some of it wasthe movies that came out of the soundtracks.
It all goes back to that.And then you had MTV banging the
shit out of those songs and therewere no more like Divo's whipp It.
Divos had other songs, but Icouldn't tell you what they are, but
I know whip It, Whip Itgood. You know that's technically a one
hit wonder. They did a horriblecover. If I can't get no satisfaction,

(27:48):
remember that, Oh it was shit. It was I never understood that
band. That was just that wasjust nothing for me, even the Whippet.
I'm just like, what this isdumb? I didn't I didn't like
it when I was when it cameout then, and I still don't think
it's silly. I just never connected. One of my favorites is Gerardo's Rico
Suave. Yeah, dude, Imean that's just panties are just melting off

(28:12):
of badges with that song. Rico. I hated that song too, Actually,
I really hated that fucking song.We should do the ones we hate
now and then we'll do the topfive favorites. Who that the dogs out?
Whoo whoo That Chumbawomba tub thumping thatwas a one hit wonder. I

(28:34):
actually liked that one. I didlike Chumbawomba. I remember hearing it for
the first time. I remember therewas a guy in New Orleans, Christian,
and he was kind of working recordsa little bit. He played it
for him and he's like, dude, this is gonna be a hit.
And I said, no, it'snot. This is stupid, But no,
it's not. And then I wasso wrong on that. I mean,

(28:55):
it was just it was huge.Yeah, it was absolutely massive.
So we could run down our topfive favorite one hit wonders here. But
Rodney Ryan's got some some activities happeningsoon. I'm excited about this one here.
This is gonna be badass man.The Rod Ryan Show presents the Boobs

(29:15):
Rock Golf Tournament twenty twenty three.Get out you would boys? Here we
go. Foursomes are I think Ihelped write some of the promos back in
the day when we did golf tournaments, so there was no like wood ball
washing joke left un said back inthe day. So foursomes on sale now

(29:37):
for the four man scramble tournament Octobereighteenth at Wildcat Golf Club right now looking
for playoffs, whole sponsors. Ithink there were whole jokes involved, auction
items and volunteers. All money's gonnago. Okay, let me make this
very clear. All money goes tothe rod Ryan Showcres Foundation, Boobs Rock

(29:59):

gotta know is I'm a world famousfor the first time. That's rod Ryan

the buzz dot com. What yougotta remember October eighteen golf tournament. Get

(30:22):
your ass signed up. You gottabiz sponsor some shit you want to volunteer,
hang out on the golf course thatday, volunteer the buzz dot Com.
I just really wanted to like layin there the all money goes to.
After our discussion we just had afew months ago, like that's but
it sees things like this and Iwas thinking about it. It's like,

(30:45):
you know that Telemarketer documentary. Itmakes you gun shy to donate, and
it's a weird thing to talk aboutnow after I just talked about your charity.
But yeah, it's hard, man. You get gun shy over time,
you know what I mean. Andthat's why you've always done a great
job. Was saying, look theT shirts. Saw that money that's going
to the real deal. Oh yeah, I don't have like a staff,

(31:07):
or I don't have to pay anybodyto be on the board or anything.
So there's you know, I don'teven use money to like I'd rather just
go I'll buy the stamps and I'llthat'll be my contribution. Like I'll buy
what all the extra stuff that weneed, that's my contribution in addition to
buying the stuff. But yeah,all the money, I don't want it.

(31:27):
You know, it all goes,so it's better to keep it as
clean as possible, you know.And that's why, dude, I mean,
we were dealing with such huge moneybefore you know, I applied to
become a five oh one C three. It was kind of scary the amount
of money that was going through us, and it just like I needed to

(31:48):
legitimize it and I needed to beall on the books because it started.
You know, now we're getting tobe like a half a million dollars.
We're writing checks and things, andit's just on my word that all this
money came in from our listeners,you know, because I think it's scary.
Yeah. So that's when I hadto do all the paperwork and apply

(32:08):
and you know, you have toask the government, Hey, I have
this thing that I want to doand I want to fundraise and i'd like
you guys not to tax me.And they are because of what we just
talked about, they're they're a littleleery about, you know, giving that
status to just anybody. Right.So that's why when you know, after

(32:30):
you get it and then you startgetting recognized, which was so nice man,
that Amazon smile was the best,but you start getting recognized like,
okay, well now you can lookus up. You can look us up
on charity Finder, and you canlook us up on the IRS dot gov
and you know, it comes up. It's weird we're there. So yeah,

(32:52):
so it's a it's a weird thing. And I what you want,
what you want the people that youwant running the charity. You kind of
want people that have some money becausethey don't need to steal they already have
money. Right When there's somebody thatis pretty dirt poor and they're running a

(33:16):
charity, I'm not saying to runthe other way, but I don't need
to dip into the charity, iswhat I'm saying. Correct. That's another
just the things. There's some people, there's I don't know. I don't
like talking about other charities, correct, but there are some that make me
a little crazy out there. Yeah, I get it, and I keep

(33:37):
it to myself, but I wouldrather do everything right above the board for
the reasons that we talked about thattelemarketers. You're right, Like the timing
of like going from one of thenext is like, oh yeah, how
do I how do I spend thisup? But yeah, no, it's
cool. Man in the golf tournamentalways does does really well. So October

(33:57):
eighteenth, I believe, is whatI just read the buzz dot com.
Get all your details, uh andget signed up? Man, go swing
some wrenches. Dog make those golfjokes out there on because I'm sure nobody
does. I'm sure nobody makes Caddyshackreferences at all, Happy Gilmore at all,
none of it. None of itall, which brings me to before
we get into our top five favoriteUH one hit Wonders. Yeah, Bob

(34:20):
Barker died ninety nine years old,right post the Price is right in Happy
Gilmore. So I'm talking to myson the other night and we're just riffing
on Adam Sandler a little bit,and he's like, he goes, yeah,
because because there's some new movie outthat's like his daughters are in.
It's about about Metzvah and all thisstuff. And I watched it because my

(34:44):
wife likes Adam Sandlers, thinks he'sfunny. And it wasn't good. I
didn't laugh. It was dumb.But I like a lot of Adam Sandler
movies like And my son's like,dude, Happy Gilmore, just make that
again. And again he goes,that movie was funny. I'm like,
you're right, Happy Gilmore was funny. But a lot of the Adam Sandler
movies are all the same fucking movie, you know. But yeah, And

(35:05):
we don't do a top five oranything, but god, he does make
some bomb movies and he gets apass. You know. What I oddly
like is that Hubie's Halloween. Ilike, I like having it on in
the background. I like when itcomes to the holidays, when it comes
to Christmas and Halloween, I willbe the first one to jump on you

(35:29):
know, my my company. Igot iHeartRadio playing, I got the Halloween
Channel playing. It's the same thirtysongs over and over again. Don't Fear
the Reaper, you know, shiplike that. But I like it that
Hubie's Halloween because I'm really not abig Adam Sandler fan. Now I do
need to see the serious stuff,like the is it the gem Precious Gems?

(35:51):
Yeah, I didn't see that one. I mean, I've seen some
things that are okay, but thatbe Halloween. It's stupid. He uses
that dumb baby voice that I can'tstand. But for some reason, I
like that movie. I do likethat Halloween Special. Yeah. I remember
a couple of years ago it cameout and my wife's like, oh,
this it would be great because sheloves ad I'm saying, and I'm like,

(36:12):
oh Jesus, this is gonna beso bad. It just looked set
up for just awful ninety minutes ofmy life. I remember laughing my ass
off, going Okay, this ispretty good. So now I watch It's
a Halloween staple at is an absolutestaple in this house too. It's funny.
It's just on in the background,like kind of like I run Christmas
movies in the background. Ye,but I can't. But I can't sit

(36:36):
there and listen to an hour anda half of Bobby Bouche him doing that
dumb voice or Satan's son or whateverwhen he does those voices. I cannot
listen to it. You know,it's unwatchable to me. Yeah, Waterboy.
People love that movie, and there'sparts that I'm like, Okay,
I get it's funny, haha,but I can't do it. It's like,
oh, this is just it justhurts. It hurts my head watching

(36:59):
it. He did a movie andI don't remember the name. It's about
a stand up comedian that gets cancer. Uh it's him and Seth Rogan in
the movie. Uh. It's heavy, but it's it's well done. I
like that one. You know,it's a little more serious, still funny,
still funny, but it's it's it'spretty good anyway. I don't know
why. Oh yeah, because BobBarker died at ninety nine prices right with

(37:21):
everything that Bob Barker did in hislife. It's amazing how much play Adam
Sandler got in the last week.Yeah, because Happy Gilmore guys asking by
Bob Barker the prices rab bitch.I mean that the clip was running all
over the place, which you gottaadmit, that was a brilliant move on
Adam Sandler's part. Who the fullgame show for a hundred years he was,

(37:45):
He was a bit part in oneof Adam Sandler's movies. And I
heard more more people talked about whenthey talked Bob Barker, Adam Sandler was
like two degrees of separation. Yeah, because it was so brilliant, Because
what else did Bob Barker do Nothing? He held that weird, skinny,
freakish microphone and talked about fucking pricesfor ninety years. He was always on.

(38:07):
And then he does the Sandler moveand you're like, oh, that's
cool. That was a great,great move, just out of the weeds,
out of the woodwork, and there'sBob Barker beating up. I can
happy Gilmork true, So Rod,how bad was this to do? This
list of top five favorite one hitwonders Ice Ice Baby. I didn't want

(38:28):
to get trapped in the eighties.I tried to move around a little bit.
But like you said, you knowwhat, I think that was a
great thing to bring up. LikeNathaniel, right, lift, we just
consume music and sometimes, you know, you have one hit out there and
then boom, people start gravitating towardsyour music. And like I said,

(38:49):
that guy has a massive following.You didn't have that back in the day
when you only had one hit becausepeople were exposed to that one hit and
then they really couldn't go and getyou anywhere else unless they bought your album.
But you know, did anybody goout and buy you know, the
video killed the Radio Star right thefirst song played on MTV? No,

(39:10):
they didn't. That was it.That was it. And I imagine that
band probably went out and played somelive shows and maybe I wouldn't get but
but they just didn't gain the popularitythat people have because we're consuming music,
We're consuming things in so many differentways. Now. Before it was like
you either if you didn't see iton the radio, or if you didn't

(39:31):
hear it on the radio or seeit on MTV, that's it. You
were done. You're going to getit. You kind of gotta go back
to in a way, the waythe things were working in the sixties,
seventies and eighties. Sixties you werebuying the forty five, so you had
your A side, your B side, that was your hit. You know
a lot of bands, those popbands or pop stars didn't have albums.
You know, it was just dancefloor hits. You know, then you

(39:52):
move forward or jukeboxes. You know, you had that forty five, so
that was your hit. You beatthe shit out of it, and then
you had add Like the eighties youhad solid Gold remember that TV show,
the Solid Gold Dancers. It wasthe best Man and then but those a
lot of those acts that showed up, those were one hit wonders, and
that helps solidify it because they hadthat one hit and you're like, okay,

(40:13):
bye, see that was it.I mean, if you really want
to think about it, and thisprobably goes falls under the umbrella of Nathaniel
rate Lift, Quiet Riot, comeon, feel the noise. I mean,
you know, I think about it, that's kind of it. But
they're really but would you ever considerthat to be a one hit wonder?
Would you have like Quiet Riot withwhat you know about them? And yeah,

(40:35):
but I know that, but likethe fair weather fan who like heard
come On Feel the Noise on theradio back in eighty five or whatever,
we're like, oh, it's acool song, and it just kind of
it's it's just top forty sugar.They don't know shit about Quiet right.
There might be someone listening to thispodcast, huge Kajagugu fans, and they're
like, oh, dude, Igot all four albums, fucking great,
I got the posting the wall.So I get into this with with There's

(40:59):
a guy at work, Skinner,who just loves music, knows music everything,
and he will be the first onethat he'll say, okay, madness
our house. He's like, Iknow a bunch more songs, but he
knows it's a one hit wonder,correct, you know? You know a

(41:21):
flock of seagulls. They had morethan Iran. They did have They did
have some other songs, but everybodyknows the one damn song. So yeah,
you can't say, hey, justbecause I love this band, it
doesn't not make them a one hitwonder. But I don't feel that way

(41:42):
about Quiet Riot. I don't feelthat way about Twisted Sister. I guess
you gotta put those two in thesame in the same boat to take it.
And then I mean, rat hada bunch of hits, so you
can't that never, you would neverbring them up. Yeah, But technically,
I mean, if you really tobring everybody has their biggest hit,
you can't hold them. You can't. You can't criminalize them for having a

(42:07):
really really big hit and then havinga bunch of sub hits. Correct.
You gotta talk truly one fucking song, like you could only name one song
from that band basically because it's thatone, you know. I mean,
technically Jump from Van Halen was theirhit, but they've got ninety other songs,
you know, so it's not afair comparison. So we're really kind

(42:27):
of I'm just trying to narrow thecriteria down, you know. I mean,
someone's gonna have an argument for somethingthat's okay, I don't care,
you know. Starland vocal bands AfternoonDelight played at the end of a forty
year old virgin I don't know whatelse they saying. They bust into an
a cappella in Anchorman. That's right, yep, great song, by the

(42:50):
way, the Noon Delight. Theyall pause at the same time. Yeah,
it's it's well done, brilliant,A brilliant use of that song in
that scene too. Man. SoI mean there's a million. Oh man,
I'm going to this list. Damn, there are some good songs because
Okay, mc hammer not a onehit wonder, right, he had on
two legit to quit but can't touchThis is just massive, It's abolutely massive.

(43:15):
But he had other songs that charted. Yeah, So yeah, that's
what I'm saying. You can't criminalizehim as being a one hit wonder because
he had one massive hit and thenhe had a couple of other shitty ones.
Smash Mouth not a one hit wonder. Now, actually they had,
you know, because they actually didget other hits. Tech, they did
some covers, they did cover songs, and then they got they got in

(43:37):
Shrek and did all of that.Smash Mouth not a one hit wonder.
No Taco putting on the Ritz wouldprobably fit under the one one hit wonder.
Now that's not to say that theydidn't try to put out a second
single. I don't know anything aboutTaco other than that song, but I'm

(43:59):
pretty sure that nothing else charted.You know. Actually, I gotta read.
I'm readoing my list as we speak. Because shout. I forgot about
some of these songs. You know, Electric Avenue from Eddie Grant. Love
that tune. It was on MTVall the time back in the day.
Bam, the great song four nineBlondes. What's up? That's it?

(44:21):
That's all they got. Dog onehit, great song, no one hit
wonder, Linda Sherry. She wenton to be a songwriter, Blind Melan,
No Rain, blind Melon, noRain. That's that's it. Man.
Nobody knows other shit. Really,I mean you might, I might
know a couple of songs, butno Rain, is it? Yeah?
They did. They did a songfor the for the Galaxy. Yeah,

(44:43):
it's great song. Galaxy song wasgreat. It's a great album. It's
a great first album. We've talkedbefore. We probably talked about The Screaming
Trees more on this podcast than anyother shit. I love that podcast album.
But that Sweet Oblivion, that albumis amazing. But nearly lost you.

(45:05):
It's a one hit wonder. Youknow. I didn't put it on
my list just because I love thealbum and I can't do that to the
band. But that is a onehit wonder, way more than Quiet Riot.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, becauseyou I would you know, when
you mentioned Blind Melon, I wouldput them in there, right there with
a band like the Screaming Trees,because they were in the sick, they

(45:27):
were on the single soundtrack for thatsong, had that one video, and
then that really was it, youknow. Yeah, and there's other songs
from Screaming Trees that I do like, but that's that's their one. That's
it, that's their one. Allright, Well, let's let's do our
list when we go back. Let'slet's I don't want to ruin all my
list here, and we'll come backaround on this discussion. I think because

(45:52):
the songs you have, the songsI have, I think this would be
good. You know what, You'rekind of cursed too with the one hit
wonder because on one side, you'vegot that one hit, you've made some
money, you've had success, you'vedone the interviews, you've played the late
shows, you've done your thing righttechnically, but you want to do it

(46:13):
again. But if that's all yougot, that's all you got, and
it sucks. Well, Okay,so we have a little history. The
Google Dolls could have easily been aone hit wonder with name right that was
not indicative of the sound of theband at all. They were still a
punk leaning pop band at that point. They had that song and then they

(46:37):
realized, Okay, we're gonna haveto fucking shift gears. Man, this
is pretty good. There's a lotof money rolling in here, and name
really could have been their biggest hit, and they just could have went back
to playing the rocky or edge orstuff and let Robbie sing a couple more
songs, right, and then theyjust kind of realized Boom and clearly Iris

(46:59):
is a much bigger song. Buthad they not gone in that direction,
you know, they were able topivot. You know. The other band
that kind of did that was SugarRay. Yeah, Sugar Ray was kind
of heavy, correct people, Youknow, people in Buffalo are going to
know that the Google Dowles used tobe like a pump band everywhere else,

(47:21):
They're not going to know that SugarRay used to kind of be heavy.
And then they did that song Flyand then they said we gotta go and
recreate that Yep brings Truck And theydid kind of have a couple of other
songs like that that would be questionablethat if you wanted to get into like
a one hit wonder with Sugar Ray, I probably wouldn't fight you too long

(47:43):
on that, but they did.They did realize that, hey, we
gotta go this direction now, correct, and there's nothing sellouts man, they
fucking sold out, bro, Yeahwhatever, who cares? You know what,
if I got a hit on theradio and I'm making money, I'm
probably gonna go try and recreate thatin some way and go make some more
money because that's cool. Maybe nobodydid it better than smash Mouth. You

(48:05):
know, as soon as they realized, okay, this is what you want,
Boom, Okay, we're gonna giveyou a steady dose of this and
then boom, they went out andthey did a couple of covers, got
the Disney money, Yeah, gotmad cash off of this. It all
started with Walking on the Sun,correct, which is not even close to
their biggest hit. I know,it's crazy, right, That's the thing
that we you know, that's wherewe got introduced to the band. And

(48:28):
then they just leaned into it.Yeah, because they were alternative radio.
They started out alternative radio with Walkingon the Sun because they had that weird
organy guitar whatever that weird sound is, and it's like, oh and but
then you know, it became apop band, and then alternative radio went
yeah, all right, see laterby you know what I mean. That
happened with a lot of bands.Google Dolls, you know, played name

(48:49):
and everyone's like, whoa, thisis cool alternative band. And then you
know, everybody kind of stepped awayfrom the Matchbox twenty. You got a
lot of the Sugar Raye, alot of the Gin Blossoms. You know,
Oh, this is an alternative band. Okay, you're pop now see
you bye. You know that's awhole nother discussion. Sorry, all right,
it sounds like you're still moving shitaround. You want me to go,

(49:09):
I'll keep moving shit around all night. Dude, this is great.
I love this. I'm looking atthese lists and I'm digging around and I'm
like, oh shit, this song'sgreat. Oh damn it, this song
is great. So but I'll gobecause I would say we might have one
song on the same maybe one daywe should say that. The reason that

(49:29):
we even approached this topic is becausethe guy from Dexi's Midnight Runners was having
a birthday and I really I justwasn't coming up with a top five.
I'm really glad we're doing this finally, I'm glad that we brought this back
around because I know we've already likekind of talked about it. But the
reason that this even came up is, come on, Eileen, the guy

(49:52):
that sings that song was having abirthday, and then I said, wow,
that is It's not my personal favorite, but Matt, it's gotta be
in the top all time. Youknow, one hit Wonders it's up there,
right, it's gotta be It's gottabe that, and uh uh,
you know Rico Suave, it's gottabe update. I don't know about that,

(50:14):
but Tacos putting on the ritz isgotta be way up there. VH
one I pulled I pulled it upVH one. I remember they did when
I was still kind of watching alittle VH one. They did the top
one hundred greatest one hit Wonders andthey kind of packaged it up and then
they you know, you know howthey did that format which they may have
invented that they would go and theyput on a couple of comedians and they

(50:36):
would talk and they would just kindof like, you know, our friend
Stephen Lynch was on there, theend up comedians here, and they would
just oh yeah. Back in nineteeneighty three, everybody was, you know,
running around in you know, becauseXi's Midnight Runners, even though it
was all scripted for them what tosay, but it was they created that
kind of format. And I wantto say that they put up put out

(50:58):
the one hundred greatest one hit Wondersin that format. It was pretty good.
We can we'll compare ours to thatone afterwards, but go ahead,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right. So at
number five, I put in therebecause I heard it the other day and
I was like, damn, thatsong is still so great. And I
remember the video just when it firstcame out back in the mid nineties.

(51:19):
I just remember watching it going,I don't even really like girls with short
hair, but holy hell, Natalieand Brualia torn is hot. Yeah.
I just remember watched the video going, oh, I'll watch your walk around
your living room all day every timeit came on. And it came on
MTV a lot, dude, Iwatched that video a lot. Love that
tune. Songs still great, stilla great song. That's kind of a

(51:42):
punchline on the show here in Houston. I one day just came on and
I said, listen, I wouldlike to share everything with you, guys.
I just want you to know howmuch I love this song. And
I played it, and I playedit one morning she said, listen.
So people started calling it torn club. At anytime there's any kind of sensitive
thing going on for guys, it'slike, okay, emergency meeting, torn

(52:05):
club right now, everybody come intorn club? Who plays a song?
And all these guys it doesn't matter. It's not cool if a chick likes
that song. No shit, youlike that song, correct, But it's
funny that as soon as I kindof broke down and I said how much
I like it, all these guyslike, dude, hashtag torn club?
Can I get in? I'm in? I love that song. Oh my

(52:27):
god, I love that song.So yeah, sometimes we have emergency torn
club meetings. I gets it.Sounds like, uh, what's his name
there? The soccer Jesus Christ.I'm such an idiot. I gotta start
drinking again. My brain just freezing, I thought. With the benefit.
One of the benefits was being forSharper fucking Jason Sadakis. Yes, the

(52:49):
soccer show. Good Christ. Hehad the wolf Pack every time they had
a problem. Remember, they callit in the wolf pack. All the
coaches stand around. I'm having troublewith the chick and they'll be barking and
shit, Yes, I don't rememberthe shows. Ted Lasso, Jesus Wow,
oh good, I quit. Ithink I'd start drinking. I think

(53:10):
my hat's too tight or something.Tonight Natalie and really a torn enough Jesus
Christ five, Ted Lasso, Thanksonly watched it a million times. Number
four. I still like this song, but I think it I like it
because it's a good song, andb it just reminds me of the old
days of getting kicked out of barstwo am or three am or four am,

(53:31):
whatever time they closed. Closing Timefrom Semisnic they had. They had
a minor follow up single, butit never really did shit. But Closing
Time just cool song. We stillplay it occasionally and it just reminds me
because like Nworleans doesn't close, soyou don't have to worry about closing time,
but closing time is a thing inmost cities apparently. And I remember

(53:52):
back in the day, it'd belike, fuck, man, it's almost
three o'clock. You and I'd goto the bar to just be shots.
Okay, we got a hammer backbefore we get kicked out closing time.
So that song, every time Ihear it reminds me of hanging out in
a bar in Buffalo and getting bootedout at three or four am, whatever
time it was. If you wantedanother semi sonic song, I can singing

(54:14):
in your sleep, sleep singing inmy sleep. Love that tune. Fuck,
it's awesome. It's actually better song. It's an awesome song. They
tried it, they didn't really chartwith it or anything. Didn't you do
shit? Yeah? Yeah, yeah. He even talks about like making a
cassette in the song. Yes,I'm talking about like music on a cassette.

(54:35):
Just to bring it around that guyclosing time. That dude he co
wrote that country song I was tryingto get you to get into. Yeah,
he's co written a lot of shit. He's done stuff with a Dell
and he's Yeah, he went onto just be a songwriter and he's good.
Semi sonic Dan something Wilson that soundsgood. I couldn't get ted last.
So so you think I'm gonna haveany credibility after this? Jesus number

(54:58):
three And heard this song just recentlytwo out of the blue as someone's playing
it at their house or something,and I was like, oh, no,
shit, I forgot about that takeon me from Aha. And the
only reason I know or anyone knowsthat song is because of the video.
That's it the black and white cartoonor comic book video of all time,

(55:21):
still still with all the technology.It was just so great. I didn't
know what it was about. Ididn't know who those guys were, who
was chasing them with the like therace car drivers, like the Cafe racer
guys. Nothing, but fuck,it was awesome and it just it's still
one of the greatest videos ever.Yeah, and they played the ship out

(55:43):
of it. But it's still agood song. And Weezer does a pretty
good cover of It's pretty right onpoint. So Weezer does a great job
with a cover number two this song. I can't remember them. I can't
remember anything lately. It's been usedin movies a million times. It's fucking
great. You listen to the lyricsand you're like, oh, yeah,
dog, that's me. I'm doingit too, man, Norman green Bomb,

(56:07):
Spirit in the Sky. I'm goingway back to the late sixties.
That song is the only time Iever heard of Norman green Bomb. So
I'm assuming that's the only hit thatthey had or he had. I know
nothing about him, but that's allI got. That's it. I got
nothing on that dude. Great song. Listen to that song, man,

(56:28):
and I'm telling you, Man,put that stucker on. You're like,
yeah, all right, I'm goingup to the spirit and this guy too.
Men, I'm going with you,Norman. We're going everywhere. We're
gonna have a party. I knowyou watch this ship. But was that
in like Galaxy, Guardians of theGalaxy or something. I don't know if
it was. I don't recall it. But it's been used in other movies,
and I don't know which ones,of course, but it's been used
in different soundtracks and stuff. Butgreat fucking song. You put that thing

(56:51):
on, You're gonna be like,yeah, all right, Norman, I'm
with you, brother, let's go. Let's do it number one. You
sort of you sort of shoot ona little, but you liked it.
Screaming Trees nearly lost you. Thatsong is still great. You know when
they play it, uh you're youknow in the Singles soundtrack if you haven't

(57:12):
watched the Singles movie, it's stillgreat. It's just cool. Now.
It's such a road trip to goback and see the young Eddie Vetter and
you know, young Alison Chains andthe clubs when they were basically unknowns back
in that time period. You know, to see it full circle out is
great. Mark Land, recommend thisbook enough mark Land again. Uh sing

(57:34):
backwards and weep? Uh, youknow, Screaming Trees he sang for Queens
of the Stone Age for a littlebit. Yeah, you know, yeah,
he was in a Mad Season fora while, wasn't he? Or
was that somebody else and the wronghe was in? Yeah, no,
he was in Mad Season two.But yeah, that Screaming Tree song is
amazing. That album is amazing though, So I love that album. So

(57:59):
I didn't want to put them inthat category, but they totally fit as
a one hit wonder, absolutely theydo. That song is a bang of
I mean you and again, man, look, we've beat this fucking horse
to dust, but you have tojust we should just go through the Seattle
scene one time and just kind ofbring it all around. But like,
you know, you have all thisshit happening in the early nineties with with

(58:22):
the Singles movie, you got PearlJam and you got Sound Guard, and
you got Nirvana, you got allthis ship, but then you had the
you had Screaming Trees or all inthat mud, honey, and then what
is it? Green River and allof these other bands just there is just
holy shit happening, and you knowit and I liken it too. And
again I'm only guessing here, butthat whole phrase iron sharpens iron. You

(58:47):
know, like, if you're goodat something and I'm good at something,
you know, and you get together, you're gonna push each other just naturally
because you're gonna want to keep itgetting the best of each other. So
I can only assume and you werein a band, right, you've hit
the clickaty Klacks for a while,you know, you see a band you're
like, oh, fuck man,they're way better than us. So what

(59:07):
do you do. You go andyou try to get better, and then
you come out and you're like,Okay, we're feeling pretty good about things.
So you can only imagine the amountof talent in Seattle at the time
and the amount of bands with greatsongs. It just had to be nuts,
you know, Yeah, it was. It was super competitive. It's
so different now, these younger guys, we've done some things. We've done

(59:29):
some cool things here where we've givenbands, local bands airtime, and we've
done contests to open up Buzzfest andplay you know, different shows, and
it's been really cool and it's kindof got me back into the local music
scene a little bit. Man.They're also nice, like we were not
nice, you know, we werelike frenemies with all the other bands.

(59:49):
There was a high level of jealousy. If anybody had done anything cooler than
us, we would go and watchthem and we would be nice to their
faces, and then we would goto band practice and then we shit on
them. But you're right. Ifwe did see somebody good and there was
only a couple of bands that wethat we liked that we thought, okay,
maybe they're better than us. Therewas this band that used to play

(01:00:10):
in Canada all the time, SpenGalley. Oh yeah, God damn.
They were so good. They wereso fucking pro They all looked amazing,
they were good at their instruments.They would just go up there fucking spit
out into the crowd and shit,I'm like, oh my god, they
just had the balls, you know, And we would go and watch them.
And that was a band that wewould, oh, okay, we

(01:00:32):
need to be a lot better.But you're right, you would go.
But but nobody was nice to everybodylike they are now. All these bands,
they're all buddies and shit, they'reall going to each other's shows.
And I'm here to support these guys. I'm like, we were not that
nice. Nah, you're competitive.It's that competitive spirit you know, you
want to you know, And wedid all kinds of battle of the bands
and ship throughout the years, andand and you know, you'd be in

(01:00:55):
those back rooms with the bands andthey're all being like kind of cool that
we each other, but they comeup to you because you you'd be m
seeing it or something, you know, and you'd come out and introduce the
band. And I never liked Battleof the band's contest. And it's not
a music is subjective. You know, Yes, you could tell that one
band is technically better than another one, but you know, you either like

(01:01:15):
a band or you don't, youknow, but you know you'd have somebody
chirping in your those guys are assholes, or this guy can't and play his
fucking guitar. They would just bechirping at you all night you're like,
all right, whatever, dude.But yeah, it was very competitive back
then. I'm assuming now there isa lot more support. Yeah, they're
all super pals, they're all supernice to each other. I guess it's

(01:01:37):
one of those things too, wherelike, hey, man, if they
make it through, maybe we'll getthe ride the coat tails, but that
whole you know. I know,after Seattle hit back in the nineties,
there was like little pods that weretalked about. I think Atlanta because you
had the Black Crows and other bandscoming out of there, and Buffalo had
a little scene when the Google Dollshit. People are like, oh,
the next couple of bands, andthen they never fucking did anything once a

(01:02:00):
band broke out of a city allof a sudden. After Seattle, it
became like, oh, well theygot to have nine other bands that are
great. Yeah ninety nine percent ofthe time. No, it didn't happen
that way, you know, butthat's what they were always looking for after
Seattle. The fuck did we geton this conversation? Did I get my
number one? Yeah? I didScreaming Trees with my number one? Sorry,
Screaming Trees was your number one?Ted Lasso is the soccer TV show.

(01:02:22):
By the way, it sure is. Jason called the wolf Pack UH
number five nineteen eighty The Vapors TurningJapanese. I love that fucking song,
man. I always love that song. It's always like a vibe for me.
I have a lot of these.Uh. I have a jukebox in

(01:02:43):
the house and it's a CD jukebox, but I feel the need to have
like older songs in there. AndI bought this cool compilation. It's called
something about like the Mellow seventy,the Weird seventies, or Have a Nice
Day series. It's the Have aNice Day. Yeah, that's great,
and it's it's almost like all onehit wonder type stuff. But that's the

(01:03:05):
kind of music I want coming outof my jukebox. I have guns and
Roses in there, and I haveOffspring and a CDC but I do.
But there's just something cool about somethinglike I'm just gonna say, Terry Jacks
didn't make my list, but damnit. You know, Heason's in the
Sun, Baby, Heason's in theSun's fucking awesome. That needs to come
out of a jukebox, you know. And The Vapors was always cool.

(01:03:30):
The Vapors was a little ahead ofits time. It was kind of like
a new wave ish type of thing. And you know, it's oldest ship
man, it's nineteen eighty and uh, you know not everything sounded like that
in nineteen eighty They had a weirdkind of new wave thing going on.
Now. Not to get us offinto some trouble zones here, but I'm
gonna I always heard that song,and you know you got I got a

(01:03:53):
bunch of dumb friends I grew upwith. I always heard that song was
about tugging feeding the geese. Itis about masturbating. Okay, good,
that's what I heard. And I'mnot gonna get into why, but I
mean, because that song gets youin trouble in at number four. Next,
I'm trying to see, is itmy newest song on here? It

(01:04:15):
is nineteen ninety nine? Whoa thenew radicals? You get what you give?
That is a great So it soundslike a much older song, doesn't
it. Yes, But then itat the same time it sounds pretty fucking
fresh still. Yeah, but Imean you have a retro feel to it.

(01:04:35):
Yeah, it's the song came out, it became a huge hit and
the guy said, I'm out.He didn't want to play the festivals.
He had a hit on his hand. The phone's ringing. Now you got
to go and perform that song everywhere. MTV wants you. They want you
to play in somebody's backyard, theywant you at the beach party. He's

(01:04:57):
like, I'm done. Right whenthe song hit, he quit. Just
that's it. Hu wow. Imean it's the ultimate one hit wonder because
he didn't even go out and justcelebrate that he had one hit. The
dude, the lead singer who wrotethe song, said, fuck, I
don't want this lifestyle. He didn'tthink it was going to be a hit

(01:05:19):
or something, and he just scrappedit, scrapped everything. Holy shit.
That's when the song was hitting andit was on every radio station and i'm
MTV and heavy rotation. He goes, I'm done. Wow. Yeah,
that's crazy, dude. And DanielleBrizzwa, I think she was in the

(01:05:41):
band. She was Archie Bunker's granddaughter, the little sassy girl. Kind of
a jump the shark situation. Theybrought in a little girl after Archie Bunker
was done. Didn't he have aseries where he owned a bar? Yeah,
yeah, Archie's place. Maybe becauseEdith was spoiler alert dead. Maybe

(01:06:02):
Edith passed away. There's a littlegirl floating around, and I think she's
in the fucking New Radicals. Ohwhat, Danielle, I'm gonna try to
say it again, Danielle brize Bois, brize Bois, that's coming. What
a weird fucking band, dude.I didn't know. The dude just punted
after that. But I remember listento the song, and I'm like the

(01:06:25):
guy in the bucket hat, theguy in the bucket hat. Yeah,
just a fucking nineteen ninety nine mineguy as a poster child for nineteen ninety
nine fashion, the bucket hat andthe whole thing. But yeah, great
song, the Windbreaker with the racingsleeves down there like like Hooper's car.

We still play it. We stillplay I should say that New Radicals is
in somewhat of a rotation and Houseof Pain jump Around that comes on.
I told Radio Wizard, I toldmy boss, I'm like, dude,

it hits everybody. And you knowwhat, I don't care how old you
are, you gonna start jumping.You have to absolutely fucking slaps. Of
course, The ever Last went onto have a pretty decent solo career after
that, But as far as Houseof Pain having another song, I don't

(01:09:26):
you're playing on the radio right exactly? You're playing Epic. You're not playing
anything else, dude, And itsucks because they got a million great songs.
But it's it is what it is. You know that's that's the goldfish
song, the goldfish around at thevery end. You know where they got
the fucking goldfish? Right? What'sthat? You know where they got the
goldfish from? I don't remember.Oh my god, this is fucking great,
dude, this story's crazy. Tellme I forgot the fucking goldfish.

(01:09:50):

Uh was a you know, theweird Icelandic singer your York Sure, Yeah,
Okay. She's at a party inLA and the guys from Faith No
More are at the party. She'scarrying around a fucking goldfish bowl. At
the party, she gives to thegut like Gil. Remember Gil didn't what

Gil, what a great name fora fish. By the way,
Holy shit, he took Gilt withhim. So she's got this fish.
The guy's in Faith No More.Somebody in the band ends up with this
goddamn fish, right, So Idon't know how it went from being there.

(01:10:38):
Fish stole it from York. Itwas a gift apparently, or she
left it at the party, sothey just took it and then that fish
ended up flopping around on the floor. I don't know if it survived that
little incident or not. But thefish from the Fucking Faith No More video
was from Byork in pop up videos. No, I do a lot of
research on dumb shit. Remember popup videos though, one of my favorite

(01:10:58):
things on Earth. It was thebest. Oh it's just show prep.
You sit there and watch that,you can taking notes and then you'd say
shit on the air the next day. It was great. They're showing Elton
John that I'm Still Standing video andthen they stop it. They're like,
there's Bruno from Dancing with the Stars, weird people in the background, and
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, But that the goldfish thing sounds like

(01:11:19):
something that would have been on popup video. That was a great It
may have been, but yeah,awesome show. That's where the fish came

That wasn't hit. It was thebiggest hit. It was the highest charting
song out of all four solo albums, and uh yeah, I love that
definitely definitely would go down as aone hit Wonder for sure. Yeah,

(01:15:53):
I don't know how much as Acesfucking solo album was by far the best,
right right, the best, andthen I'll fight people man. Jeans

pretty powerful club song. Yeah,yeah, that that works. I don't

that one, which is a sampleof the red Hot Chili Peppers bayon bayon
Bay. It's chili peppers. Ohyeah, yeah, yeah, I did
read that somewhere. It's a chilipepper sample. Living Color culture personality.

obsessed with it. But great,that's a one hit wonder, right Yeah,

(01:17:06):
yeah, No one's playing a lotof Living Color on the radio.
That's a hit wonder. So unfortunately, but that's one of those bands that
are just great though, and bythe way, still holds up one of
the best Saturday night live performances ofall time musically. I remember watching that.
It was like ninety one something likethat. Whenever that eighty nine maybe

(01:17:27):
they came out and I'm like,holy fuck, the energy that those guys
had. I was I had neverseen anything like that on TV. It

tried to get my sister to geton a plane and come in, just
to do a quick like in andout. What do you know about this
mermaid parade that's going on? Iwas thinking that maybe I would check that
out. Do you know anything aboutit at all? I heard about it.
Yeah, a bunch of mermaids firstyear. It might be ghetto.
I don't know. It might be. I don't know. I've really not

(01:22:35):
paid attention to it. Yeah,you just just come to New Orleans.
To come to New Orleans. Youdon't need all that shit, I know,
but I was thinking of just gettingmy sister. All right anyway,
So hey, listen, take thePirate Tour next time you go to New
Orleans. Okay, that's the thing. All is just around the corner.
It's gonna be amazing walking around.And then we're gonna next thing. You
know, we're gonna be getting rightin the Halloween Man book the Pirate Tour.

(01:23:23):
of the Quarter. You know,I just want to point this out,
you know, for our sponsor thatand people say this all the time,
but I want to tell you truthfully, ship's booking up for the fall.
So if you're coming to New Orleans, you might want to get there,
get online, get it done,because the last thing you want to do
is not be able to take thetour if you want to. That's frustrating

(01:23:43):
to people they want to take.So you're coming in in October, November,
December, you know you can dothe long weekend. Look at the
calendar, get yourself on it.That's why it's all I'm gonna say.
Final thoughts. Jason Ginty. SoI'm driving home last night, right driving
home as you would and uh,you know, pick up the kid from

(01:24:04):
soccer Hank my son almost fifteen,sitting ride and shotgun. I'm riding driving
you know what I mean. Andwe're going down the street and it's not
well lit. It's a main street, it's it's a fairly busy street.
But somehow the street lights are out, you know, the not the actual
signal lights, but the street lightsdrop. It's three lanes across. I'm

(01:24:25):
cruising along, light screen, cruisealong. Some dude comes walking out in
the middle of the street, justwalking. He's got white pants on,
like a wife beater tank top andhe's a black dude. Okay, the
only reason Henry's generation is not callingthose wife beaters anymore. No, no,
I know they tank top t shirts. Where the fuck it is?

(01:24:45):
Right? Yeah, I suppose wifebeater is not politically correct either way.
You know what I'm saying. There'sjust white beaters. But yeah, they're
not calling them anymore. I forgotwhat the I forgot what they're calling them.
It's it's and whatever. So anyway, this dude's coming across. He's
walking, but he's like it's greenand this dude is playing fucking frogger with
his balls. He's like out theregoing from lane to lane trying to cross,
and there's people like humming, hittingthe horn and shit, well,

(01:25:10):
it's hard to see the dude,right, So I slowed down, thinking
I don't want to hit this guy. He may be drunk, high,
crack lost, whatever the fuck he'sgot going on. I don't know.
So I slow the car down rightbecause I don't want to hit the guy.
And he's kind of erratically walking throughacross the street. I'm slowing down.
He's got his hand up and he'spointing at us. He's pointing at

(01:25:34):
us right now. It's dark.He's a black dude. I can't really
see what's going on there. Myson fucking leans forward and hits the deck
in the car. He thinks thisguy's gonna start shooting at us. Oh
shit, and he's like, he'slike, go, I go. I
didn't think of it. I justthought the guy was pointing at us,

(01:25:56):
like hey, wait, I wantto talk to you. I want to
dime or I want a dollar orwhatever. I didn't think of that.
I didn't think of it at all. I mean, yeah, as he
my son is freaking, you know, and I saw the guy's hand up,
I'm like, oh shit, you'reright. I should get the fuck
out of here. I couldn't telleither, But then I realized he was
just pointing at us, but wherearen't we? Okay, I kind of

(01:26:17):
just handled it as hey man,and I tried to explain to my son.
I'm like, dude, He's like, why didn't you just go?
I'm like, because I didn't wantto hit the poor guy. Okay,
if he's screwed up in the head, I don't want to add more trouble
to this life. And I don'twant to have to sit here and deal
with the gut fact I hit aguy. You know, he goes it
looked like he was gonna shoot us. I'm like, yeah, you know
why, you got a good point, but that's where his head went immediately.

(01:26:39):
Okay, Now, in all fairness, he's you know, first,
you know, you're in the earlypart of your school here, and what
are you going through now in schoolsshooter training on campus shooter training. So
look, man, it was justa dude horribly deciding to cross a street
pointing at cars, and it justyou couldn't tell the way it was lit,

(01:27:00):
it was dark, and he's pointing. He did not have a gun.
But my son immediately reacted, youknow, lean forward, got down
and said go yeah, So Idon't know what the hell kind of final
thought that is, but that's whatmy evening was like last night. Rod.
So I was thinking a different waythan my son was thinking. I
was thinking, had I don't wantto hit this guy, Let me get

(01:27:20):
around him and keep moving with myday. And he was like, get
the fuck out of here. Thathe would even have to think like that,
I know. And he's like,and then you know, we get
down the road a little bit andhe's mad. He's fucking mad. He's
like, god, man, like, he's just mad at it. The

(01:27:41):
fact that nothing went wrong, nothinghappened, but the fact that that's why
he thought of it. He waspissed. Like, yeah, dude,
I go. He goes like,that's what these kids are dealing with.
Mad anyway, messed up anyway.How's that for leaving on a high?
I hope you got something better thanthat, dude, Come on, tell
us, tell us you found aunicorner or something. Uh, yeah,

flat top guy. It's like agrittled guy. When you come into New

(01:29:55):
Orleans, and I'll give you twosuggestions. You've probably been there. You've
got to walk down on Bourbon Streetand you gotta go to the Clover grill.
Right it's right there on I believeshit, I don't know, Domine.
Maybe I don't know. I onlywalked down it a million times a
day. It's running Bourbon Street furtherdown, not about a block and a
half from Lafitte's blacksmith shop. That'ssort of the quieter end the Bourbon Street

(01:30:19):
anyway. It's it's back of theback of Bourbon Street, right, It's
it's got the countertop and it's gota couple of tables. But then they
got the flat top and same thing. Man, they got the hash browns.
Hash browns. They're just chilling inthe back for a while, Like
that must be lower heat. Okay, you're you're you're a fry guy,
so you can explain this to me. They got those hash browns fucking good,

(01:30:40):
by the way, just chilling withall the butter over in the corner.
And then you know, you gotyour flapjacks, your grill, cakes,
corn on. You need high heatfor the cakes, okay, eat
high heat for the cakes. Eggsa little bit lower, I'm assuming because
they just crack those and throw themdown. Correct. So yeah, so
you can have so where you're doingyour eggs in the back, could maybe

(01:31:00):
keep your hash browns over there becauseit's just keeping them warm. I mean,
you gotta cook everything in an order, right, So the first thing
you're gonna do is like the potatoesare gonna take the longest, So that
grill, you get it as hotas you can and then boom. Cook
all your potatoes. Okay, getall your home fries together, right off
to the side. Now you turnthat egg side down. Keep the other
side hot. Now, get yourmeats, get your meats cooking. Okay,

(01:31:25):
so yeah, you're gonna have youryour sausage and your bacon. Boom,
and then you know what, throwit right on top of the potatoes.
Just keep it warm right there,keep that hot. That's where you're
gonna do your cakes. Now's yourflavor. And then boom. You got
that other side. It's cooled downa little bit, but it's still warm.
It's keeping your ship warm in theback. But that's where you do
your eggs. M damn it.Now, let me ask you this.

(01:31:46):
