This episode is brought to you by Big Grove Brewery. There's nothing better than seeing an ice

cold beer on screen in your favorite movie and feeling inspired to drink a beer as good as the

movie makes it look. We love to enjoy some delicious beverages and the beers at Big Grove Brewery

are what we choose. There's one of our favorites, Neighborhood Beer. That's a refreshing American

logger that makes you feel like you're at a block party. You know the 4th of July seeing the

Sandlot? Kids around round hot dogs and burgers cooking on the grill. I'm certain Neighborhood Beer

is what the adults were drinking in that scene. If you want to get a little crazy with it,

you can turn to ColorTV, one of my personal favorites, a juicy citrus hazy double IPA that gives

you the feeling of popping in an old VHS of weird science and letting John Hughes remind you of

the good old days. You can shop online in stores or stop into a local Big Grove when you're in Iowa

at one of four locations and in Omaha and soon to be Kansas City. The vibes at Big Grove are perfect

for hanging out with friends and enjoying some delicious beer and food. Remember the goonies?

That's a good movie. What if the kids were adults and instead of finding jewels and gold coins,

they found some delectable beers. Oh yeah, save some for one I willy.

gotten. You got Casino on Thursday. You got Steve's on interview on Friday and a Patreon if you

signed up and a Patreon on Friday and now it's Monday and you're getting a brunch and then on

Thursday, you're going to get clueless. Can you get enough? Can you get enough?

Well, we're just going to do a little intro to this one. We just got off the recording line

with our friends from a podcast called Super Retro. If you haven't seen these guys,

they're a podcast. You can hear them on Apple and Spotify. You can see them on YouTube

and you can check out their socials. I think I mentioned it in a crowded world

of nostalgia and movies and TV and music podcasts. They're two dudes that really stuck out for me

a long time ago. We would get along with these guys. These are cool dudes, much like Raiders. They're

just good people in the space and we've been talking online for like a year on how do we collaborate?

How do we get together? We finally did it. We put together our, I guess you'd call it a top 10 list

of fictional movie television bands and we put it together and it's freaking fantastic.

I think people are really going to love it. We don't talk super cool. They were super cool to talk to

and have some really good picks that some of them I'm very jealous of.

Yeah, I was jealous because we did it. We did it really fun and we kind of did a round robin

on the whole thing of our picks and we abided by it and I was very jealous by the end of that

draft. Yeah, first like, first like, tuck walks in and picks his first one. I'm like,

God, this is the one I wanted. So then I made a, yeah, I made a couple questionable picks,

but the crazy thing is there's so many that we left out that I think people are going to be mad

about. That's the thing. Once you listen, tell us the ones we left out, tell us the glaring

emissions. We know it. We know we did. There's some big ones that won't be on there, but just tell

us anyway, because we'll respond and be like, yeah, that's great. Yeah, well, you're right,

fine. Do you want the key? You just want to take over the podcast? Go ahead. Okay. Whatever.

Okay. You guys know better than we do find most of the time. Most of the time you do. Yeah,

you do. Super retro knew better than us. I think this time around for sure. And please make

sure, guess is anyways, please make sure you watch the YouTube because it's a literal battle

of who has a cooler retro set for their podcast. Because I think it's probably those guys.

Yeah. If you like our couch is like, that's funny. Their couch was like, no, that's fucking

retro. Yeah. I would sleep here forever. Real deal. Yeah. I think, I think that couch I've

definitely slept on that couch a couple different times in my life already. So yeah, yeah.

You got to check out the episode and you got to check out super retro. Check them out on Instagram,

socials, podcasts, YouTube. They are just good people doing good stuff. If you like this,

they get a little more focused into like music, TV shows, video games, sort of the all-encompassing

nostalgia. A lot of great top 10s on just like random stuff. We did what top top five drinks

like for nostalgic drinks, stuff like that. That's that gets me every single time and then

they're fantastic on their commentary about it. Yeah. Well, let's roll the interview. Here we go.

Oh, here we go. Finally, finally, the two coolest nostalgia based just cool podcasts on the planet.

Everybody's been like, you should collab with super retro. We're like, I know we're gonna,

because they're cool dudes. Super retro in the house, confused breakfast is good to be here, boys.

Man. Thank you, bro. All of our dad guys have been saying the same thing about you guys.

For sure. And when we started the podcast, I'll tell you guys, when I would tell people what we do,

I swear to you, probably 20, 25 times this has happened to me a long time ago when we first started.

Oh, if you heard of confused breakfast every single time. And I'm like, at the time,

honestly, I had and so I was like, wow, I guess I gotta look into these guys. So yeah,

man, you guys are super dope. It's really cool to do is with you guys. Yeah.

Well, let me start it off. I just, I just have to say this, like we're in a world where like

a nostalgia podcast, especially about movies is like, it's not a new idea. Okay. It's been done.

Everybody does it. And in this world, there are some very, very hip people that are just like,

let's do cool stuff together. And there's some people that are not that we've kind of run into. And

you guys are on the top echelon of just cool people. So this collab made total sense to us.

Thanks, man. They feel the same way about you guys. 100% man. Thank you.

Well, here's what we're doing. We already introred it. We're talking, we may have taken a different

approach on this. The way I took my approach was the two bands that I picked were influential to me.

These are fictional bands from movies or TV shows, but, but they were influential to me,

like, which is why I'm, I love them so much. So I'm going to go first. My first one is the

Zach attack from Say by the Bell TV. Now picture this. The year is 1991, a young Mike Shulti,

nine years old. I was infatuated with two things. Say by the bell. I love that show. And I also

loved music. So you can imagine what kind of absolute explosion happened in my brain when these

incredibly cool high school kids who I looked up to and I thought could do no wrong decided that

all of a sudden they could play instruments and form a band and get super famous. If anybody

remember, I'll throw some props up to hot Sunday. Obviously, the female group hot Sunday deserves

its props, but that's not what this is about. The Zach attack was mainly formed in an episode

called Rocky Mentary from season three, episode 22. And this is what happened if you don't remember.

They were playing in their garage. They were a band. A record producer went scampering by on a

jog and heard them in their garage, entered and said, I've got to sign you. And so they get signed.

They get huge. They sell five million records. And then of course fractures in the band happen.

They're famed. Zach's big head. This is before we knew that Zach Morris is trash, but you know,

obviously we know that now, right, right, completely break up. Everybody goes their own way.

Zach's out with his hot new producers, trying to change him into vanilla ice. When AC

Slater gets hurt, everybody rushes to the hospital. Apparently Kelly's a nun now. Lisa's an

American gladiator. Jesse Spano was not even in the episode because she hurt her knee in real life

and mystical episodes. But the band gets back together and it ultimately turns out to be a dream

that Zach is having in his garage. As a kid, this meant the world to me to tell me that I could

maybe get my friends together and start a band. And about two years later, I formed my very first

band because of the Zach attack friends forever. You guys remember that song? Oh, yeah. Okay.

That's a good one, bro. Yeah. That makes me laugh because hey, and you really believed it.

Well, but that's what's weird, man, because it was a dream, right? But then they still like at a

later episode, there's a they're like playing at the school prom or something like that. So I

really don't know what to believe. All I know is friends forever. Did we ever have a chance?

Was like the slow jam that they wrote? I'm telling you, man. I like Zach attack changed my life.

I like to think that like maybe they did in fact start the band, but the dream really kicked in

with this producer jogging by. You know what I mean? Like everybody gets discovered this way.

It's the way the music industry is. I mean, what it's totally normal. It's totally normal.

Easy to get a record deal. Just play. Yeah. Just as long as you're doing you, man, and being true to

yourself, bro, you can make it. It's like, well, I think Mike has told me that before and told

it told that to us before on the show. So we were recording it. But every time I hear it, it's just

a shocking. That made you want to start a band. Listen, Lisa Turtle. Obviously the black girl has to

play bass guitar. That's a South Park. That's a South Park thing. That's that's what they told us

on South Park. AC Slater on drums. You got Zach Moore shred in the guitar singing lead. Screech,

of course, we don't know what to do with them. Throw them on the keys. Who cares? I mean, it was

it was a fantastic episode, guys. Don't judge me. All right. Epic. Epic first pull. Dude, I got

I got a confession. I'm not going to lie. When I watched that because I was a save by the bill

for fanatic too, I watched it every time I got off school, come home, watch it. But I had no

fucking clue that they weren't good musicians. Like I was like, oh, they learned. They learned to play

music. Oh, yeah. I had no clue. Yeah. In early on, Slater can't play the drums. It looks good to me.

We believed it any time we saw somebody playing pretty good up here. Instruments. We believed that

didn't know shit that they're no one was playing off subject real quick. But you were talking about

the skateboard. Were we just talking about the skateboard? Oh, gleaming the cube. Yeah. Well,

Christian. Oh, yeah, Christian. It wasn't him. Slater couldn't fucking skate. They tried the

training, but I didn't know he wasn't doing a McTwist. Same thing with this. Yeah. You know,

and now looking back, you watch Slater playing the drums here like. Yep. No. That's not how you play

your only not likely. We got 10 coming down the line. We're going to move on. So I think, Will,

you got to go up with your first one. What do you got? Will. All right. Well, I'm going to start

with my first and this is a little different than yours because this not these two the ones I picked

didn't necessarily, you know, inspired me, but it's shit that stayed with me as an adult. And I

would find myself randomly quoting it through life. And first, I'll start off with the music

and coming to America. Oh, yeah. There's a scene where they introduce this. It's Eddie Murphy,

but it's Randy Watson. Hell yeah. And like throughout my life, I would just be like, Randy Watson.

And I have no clue why and the sexual chocolates. And when they play, it's the shortest little scene.

And it's just it really has nothing to do with the movie. And it's so funny because

they just play this little half song. And it's absolutely hilarious. And then at the end,

he just sits there and fucking mic drops and walks out. And then everybody's like, what the fuck just

happened? And in that scene, I just laughed even today if I get to catch that scene on any time.

It makes me smile and thinking about Eddie Murphy playing that character. It just kills me, man.

Yeah. I like how I saw they all had suits on. The whole band had suits on any time the band

has matching suits. You know, shit's about to be serious. Yeah. Fucking great. So yeah, I loved it,

man. That was uh, Randy Watson. He had Jerry curl. Didn't they all swing his Jerry curl? That's

a soul glow, bro. Yeah. Soul glow. So more music we could wax on for sure. Uh, or I guess,

I guess, um, was a slow glow. It's like just like hair syrup, I guess. Yeah. Whatever. Yeah,

hairspray. It's hairspray. Okay. Yeah. And but man, like just let your soul glow. That song,

that song, Randy Watson. Oh, man, dude. And I always remember, I think it's the, I think it's the

bass player has like the most insane mohawk or something. And it's just like, but listening to him,

like sing that song, he's, they're doing like some weird rendition of like children or a few.

I'm the, the children of the future. Everybody. Yeah. Let them lead the way he came back and

partially lead them. You know, it's so good. That boy good. You see him. And then that's another,

that's another, uh, uh, uh, quote that I always say. Yeah, he good, good and terrible.

That's how I said that throughout my life. Yeah, he's good. He's good and terrible.

But yeah, that's it. What a great, like, yeah, man. Just like what a great setup of, of how many

characters they all played. And then it's like they just found reasons to just do more makeup stuff.

Yeah. In that movie. But it worked out so well because I think wasn't the pastor.

I was sending a haul thing to introducing him. And then, uh, I don't know. And they,

they played like so many freaking people in there. But sexual chocolate, he'd been my, he'd

been my pastor for since I was a little boy. Kills me, bro. Just about the forehead or

kissing. And then the guy was like, it's like they got paid by the, uh,

character in that movie. I'll play another one. They put it in the budget. Yeah, I'll do it.

As many as you play, you get paid. I'll fucking play 10. Yeah, let's go. They're like, well,

well, it's, it's cheaper than hiring another actor. I'll do it. You know, great, great pick.

Well, Sean, what do you got for your first one? Well, you said yours influenced you.

I got to say that this next group influenced the hell out of me as well. Um, and this group

was formed by MC Gusto, Stabmaster Arson and dead Mike. I'm talking about CB4, cell block 4

from CB4. Um, man, I haven't seen this movie in a long time. I just rewatched the other night. And

honestly, my, my review of it, just one sentence review of it is this is a better music

biopic than most music biopics. It's incredible. It's what we have. We have Chris Rock, Chris

Rocks in this Alan Payne, Charlie Murphy, Phil Hartman, Chris Elliott is like the guy doing the

documentary on this. It's amazing. Um, so it's basically, uh, Chris Rock and his buddies are kind

of wanting to break into the rap business. And this is like early, early 90s. They come across

Charlie Murphy's character who like owns his club, Gusto's and he ends up going to jail. And he

and Chris Rock kind of takes his whole image and calls himself MC Gusto and creates this whole group

basically ripping off NWA. It's like sending that up pretty much. But I will say I didn't hear NWA.

I heard straight out of low cash before I heard straight out of Compton. So I thought straight

straight out of low cash was the song. And uh, like sweat, sweat from my balls in this is just so

funny. So the way the way they take these lyrics and it was like, oh, fuck your mom. Oh,

fuck you, cat, but your mom's too fat or something like that. It's just like what in the hell is going

on. But this is directed by, uh, who is this, uh, Jack Tamer Davis, actually, she did half baked.

Really? She also did Billy Madison and, uh, just recently had a documentary at Sundance,

the best summer. And she was dating, um, I think, I think who's a mic from, um,

Beastie boys? Oh, yeah, you're right. She was dating him at the time. And, uh, so I think that's

how she, how she got like all of her music connections, but she knows Kim Gordon and everything

like that as well. This movie's really funny. I've never seen a man Charlie Murphy is actually

extremely hilarious in this and, uh, worth the watch RIP. But, uh, yeah, just, I mean, honestly,

the way that it's, it's like walk hard, but for rap. And it's, it's wonderful. I, I mean,

but also like the, I know they're ripping off straight out of Compton and all these like famous

rap songs, but they're really good, especially for being like parody songs. They're, they're really,

really funny. And yeah, man, if you haven't seen CB4, it's worth your time. Have you,

you guys familiar? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I got some notes. I got some notes, man. I got some notes

on CB4. Um, it reminds me of a, when I hear the word CB4, there's a, there's a, there's a two short

song on his, get in where you fit in album, where, where he said he, it's a diss song. It's a

diss song he wrote about a local rapper and he says, now your hardcore like CB4, biting what you

want to be me for. And the reason that's a diss is because, you know, they were a parody band

of an actual real band. So I love that out. Every time I hear CB4, I think about two short.

And, and dead mic has a, um, has a vote. He has a second verse in straight out of low cash.

He, the lyrics are fucking hilarious. I mean, to me, they put real thought into like coming,

like, like coming off as abrasive as possible with the dumbest fucking lyrics.

And I love it. Dead mic says float like a cannonball sting like a shark. That shit made me crack

up earlier the way he said it. I was cracking up. And then another one of my favorite parts of

that is Phil Hartman's character is like a stuffy politician. You know, he, and he, he represents

in the early 90s the attack on hip hop. You know what I mean? From the government and from

politicians and they were all stuffy and buttoned up and, you know, they're talking about sex

on records and saying, fuck. And they, you know, they, they wanted to cancel them, you know,

way back then. But, um, Phil Hartman has them arrested, uh, during, uh, sweat from my balls.

And it's fucking hilarious when they're, they're like hitting with balloons and shit as they're pulling

them off stays. They have these big black, they have these big brown balls that they keep acting

like they're their balls. It's so good, man. It's so good. And, uh, yeah. Yeah. Those are my notes

on that one. That's great, bro. Charlie Murphy and fucking Phil Hartman, RIP, man. Those two

dudes are ledger. Yeah. It's crazy how good this movie is and like really no one talks about it.

And, um, I think it, honestly, like I said, it should be like up there with like wall card,

because wall cards are one of my favorite comedies of all time. Um, definitely not as good as that

in my opinion, but it's any other day, like a double feature of those top to your day.

We'll talk. You're up next. What do you got, man? All right. Well, my first one I want to talk

about, uh, is wild stallions from Bill and Ted's excellent adventure, uh, which we have the movie

right here, not just excellent adventure. It's, it wild stallions transcend just excellent adventure.

this band fucking sucks. This is the worst band of all time. This isn't even a band. And you know,

the reason I guess I can draw some inspiration from them because guys I also too spent a lot of

years as a musician and doing a bunch of, a bunch of music, man, started off as I had the whole

dream. Did all of that actually ended up doing some cool shit. And you know, at one point in my life,

my friends and I were the wild stallions. That's how I really feel about it. You know, because

you don't know what you're doing the first time you try it. You know, and it just reminds me of a

lot of shit that I went through with my friends. But yeah, they they pretty much represent every

kid who ever picked up a guitar before they had any real skill, but believed anyway that, you know,

with enough practice, then maybe they could. But they almost catch the wild stallions almost catch

the garage on fire in the opening scene. And you already know God damn these guys are terrible.

Like they're playing their they're stressing their amps out to the max that they're about to catch

on fire and burn the house down. That that's a great open right there. She'd have me cracking up.

Oh, well, I was going to say I admire their drive though. I think we all any musician can admire

their hunger for more and to you know, you know, God, if we could just figure this out. If our

if the cards could fall where we need them to fall, some shit might happen for us. But all that they

needed though. All that they needed was that triumphant video to get Eddie Van Halen. Yeah.

They needed that triumphant video. And then Eddie Van Halen would come join the wild stallions.

And unfortunately, you know, that didn't work out for him. But the whole movie, you know,

is based around their music without them actually ever even playing because if Ted doesn't pass

that history final, he's going to the military academy. And the only thing he gives a shit about

is that the wild stallions will cease to exist. You know, so that's all the motivation he needed.

Up until that point, he didn't care about nothing else. He just needed that that one motivational

factor. Oh, I'm going to lose my band. And I'll never become famous. And I'll never be who I want

to be. So that's all he needed. So that's what set them off to get this history final figured out.

I like how it starts like you just said. And then like their music changes the world.

Yeah, it becomes the way society is changed their music from a shitty band. But what a beautiful

sentiment when we review this movie, like we talk about how the world's so messed up. And we're never,

this is never going to happen. Like a music's never going to change the entire world. But the idea

of it like makes me so happy. They believe they will. They believe they will. And I'm telling you,

when they when they go to that futuristic place for the first time, there's a song playing by a

guy named Robbie Robb. And it's called in time. And that song still gives me shivers when I think

about like that's the song that is going to save the world right there. And I feel like that's

their song that they're listening to it has to be. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, that's that's the way

I took it when I went back and watched it. I was like, yeah, yeah, that's their salt. That's

what they're talking about. Because at the end, George Carlin, what's the character's name?

Rufus. Rufus. He tells them when they went there, I believe he tells them when they went there,

that was them acknowledging who they were. So I believe that was their song too. But look,

I have one of my favorite lines kind of unrelated to them being a band, but I just have to say it

because the shit cracked me up the other day. It's when they're at the circle K and the

the fucking the phone booth shows up for the first time. No, the phone booth shows up for the first

time. I think that's what happens. But he goes, Ted goes, Bill, strange things are a foot at the

circle K. That shit cracked me up. I was not ready for that. But my favorite line's still from

that parking lot is when the when he goes, excuse me, ma'am, when did the Mongols rule China?

I don't know. I just work here. I've been to that circle K. I've been to that circle K.

And it's nothing right home. It's a normal circle K. I mean, it was sick. I took a picture of

that. It's cool. But the highlight of the movie for me is when Rufus rips a solo at the end and it

is amazing. Yeah. And and my kids were watching it with me the other day. And they said, Dad,

is he really playing that? And I said, son, I don't think so. And they're like, how do you know I go

because I can tell by the way it's framed. I don't know. It's just because it would cut the hip.

You know how movies do? You can tell right away. If the guy's really playing it, not it cuts to his

chest. He's doing this motion. And then it cuts to someone else's hands playing. They thought

that was hilarious. Like Ralph Machio and whatever that movie is. What's the what's the guitar?

Crossroads. Crossroads. Yeah. Ralph Machio is not playing the guitar. We know this. Okay. But

I'll end on this, guys. Their music does end up changing the world because Rufus at the

very end tells him this. I'm going to read the quote. He says he says that their music is the

foundation for the whole future of society says their music will in war and poverty, aligning

the planets and universal harmony, allowing meaningful, meaningful contact with all forms of life

from extra terrestrial beings to common household pets. And it's excellent, excellent for dancing.

Bro. So, come on. Do you mind if I jam with you? Yeah. That's right. Oh, one more thing.

Mind if I rip a Jimmy Hendrick S solo? Yeah. George fucking Carlin, bro. Yeah. And George

Carlin in the movie just lent so much credibility to it. I hadn't watched this movie in a long,

long time. Honestly, I'm not the biggest movie guy. So I completely forgot he was in the even

in the movie and it immediately starts with him. I was like, damn, this is a good movie already.

He's the best, bro. So that's what I got. That's a fantastic. That would have been my pick.

Had you not taken it. So I am grateful for you. Hopefully I did it just. Yeah. Yes, you did.

AJ, what do you got, man? All right. I'm going to start here because if I'm going last in this

whole ordeal, I got to feel like I get a hand on a big one. Okay. So I'm going to go here and

I don't know why, but for some reason, this just stuck out to me as kind of it is a very

influential movie for me music wise. And that's Empire Records. And I'm specifically focusing on

Rex Manning, who was not inspirational to me, other than his great hair. But like, you know,

put thousand on dressing or whatever. Blue cheese. Blue cheese. Yeah. Dude, like, so the whole,

the whole thing of like Rex Manning and it's Rex Manning Day at Empire Records, the

record store of the movie, right? And it's Rex Manning Day. And to me, as a kid, you think about

this and you're just like, oh, like Rex Manning Day, like, there's a holiday for this or something.

And then you realize, no, it's just Rex Manning is visiting this particular record store,

indie record store, just on a random day. And then so back then, you think, man, he must be a big

deal coming through, you know? But that now you watch it and you're like, geez, what's going wrong

in his career that he's got to be making like these kind of moves right now, which is obvious now,

like the whole idea and the point. But Rex Manning came across, he's got that song, say no more,

more, more, more. And because I think it's kind of a banger, I mean, I'm going to be honest with you.

I should bangs. Like, like, Don, Don Henley could have written this song and I would have been all about

it. I mean, they certainly stole the music video idea from, from some Don Henley stuff, right?

And I'm just like, you know, I feel like Rex Manning's getting a bad rap throughout this whole thing.

And they're talking trash on his hair even. And I'm like, his hair doesn't look that bad, you know?

Like, I don't get it. I don't understand. Could we have some more reference to his hair? I think Rex Manning

gets a bad rap throughout this movie, other than a couple of things, obviously. That being said,

you know, at least he still got the confidence to really put all these little people in their place

at the end of it all, right? So I don't know, Rex Manning, he's a pretty important figure,

I feel like in the fictional music world of movies, I think he's a pretty big deal out there.

We agree. I would agree. I mean, hey, hey, dude, do you got a record deal, bro?

Yeah. Yeah. See? Fuck those dudes at the record store. You know what I mean? Well, yeah,

this guy, that's Rex Muck and Manning, bro. That's just Rex Manning Day. Yeah. Okay,

you get this man a chair he wants. Yeah. You can have any hair he wants, bro.

If you're talking about influential, like that man now has created a, that fictional Rex Manning

now is the Rex Manning Day is a thing that we all, it's April 8th. It's coming up for anybody

out there that celebrates. It's coming up. It is. And it's a thing that we're going to do, okay?

Rex Manning, bro. I'm with it. I guess he was like, I was, I was reading about it and I got

had some notes. Like he was, it was more like Robert Palmer, I guess, is probably which like,

is it Robert Palmer who did Dirty Laundry? I think so. Okay, that's probably what it was then.

But he did Dirty Laundry, that song Dirty Laundry. I like that song. But I like this song.

It's a great song, man. That's why, like maybe that's why I think Rex Manning is worth something.

But because I have simulated with that, but the date you were mentioning, Mike, that's actually,

they did it as like a tribute for Kurt Cobain. It's like Kurt Cobain Day was apparently the

secret behind it. That's what they were going for in the movie. Yeah. Well, like they say the date

was chosen because of Nirvana's frontman was found dead at that, that on that day. On April 8th.

On April 8th, 1994, marking the date 90s music lost its mascot. And it's place. Rex Manning.

Rex Manning, rid it is risen. Wait, are you saying Kurt Cobain died in 94? That's what it says.

Is that true? Rex Manning's day is celebrated annually on April 8th. And it's, yeah,

Nirvana's frontman, Kurt Cobain, April 8th. If you were to say, tell me, I would have said like 96

or something like that. Really? That's just how my brain was feeling. Yeah. Well, he learned something

new every day. I learned something new every day. That movie needed a good song in it, no matter what.

So I'm glad it was Rex Manning because the rest of the soundtrack sucks. That good, man.

There's only a few like, you got some cranberries and you got some, I'll take it back.

Who's who's will tow the wet's rocket? Oh, of course, yes. No, who's like, you like, you like,

you like, you like, gin blossoms, gin blossoms. Yeah, they're there. I just got a new theory.

Nothing that Mark likes did. Yeah. Did Rex Manning, did Rex Manning kill Kurt Cobain? Oh,

shit. Oh, no. Maybe live Tyler. Yeah, he took him out. He probably heard his new song.

He probably heard his new song. He couldn't handle it anymore day now.

Well, I'll, I'll bring us back around here. If, if young, if young Mike Shulti is now inspired

to play music from the Zach attack, I've now started some bands, right? And I'm, I'm playing

music and I'm developing this indie fever of like creation and wanting to make my band famous

in record. I saw a little movie called Airheads. And there's a band in Airheads called The Loan

Rangers. Oh, yeah. Three, three members of this band, Chaz, Rex, Rex and Pip, this movie

took me to the next level, much like the wild stallions thing you were just talking about. Talk

like, this is what it means to form a band and be willing to do anything that it takes. Because

you believe when you write a song, anybody out there that's never been in a band, never written

a song, when you write a song and you create something out of nothing, you truthfully believe,

this is the greatest thing that has ever been done and ever been written. Their song degenerated,

not that great, but like they believe that this band, this power slot band, obviously,

they don't like to limit themselves to labels or anything like that, but they're power slot

mostly. They believe that all they got to do is get their song in the radio and they will be

instantly catapulted into fame. It's sort of like you two deciding that they're going to put

their album onto everybody's Apple music, their iPhones around the world. It's like if the people

could just hear our songs, we're going to be good. But what we don't realize is that like the song's

not that great. They definitely shouldn't hold up a record store to make this happen. But

Chaz says one thing. He goes, my entire life force is on that tape. He says that as a quote in the

movie. And I believe I feel that with everything inside of me. Like this thing means so much to me

that we have to get this in the world. And dude, a couple of time, like it epitomizes being in a

band or being a solo artist or being in a group. When he's talking, he's like, you don't know

what it's like out there. You don't know what it's like to play a show in front of 20 people

made up of the other bands and their girlfriends. Like no one understands that plight like this movie.

And it puts it into a comedic style. I love the loan rangers for their passion more than any other

act I've ever seen out there. They're weak and relate. Yeah. And easily the most star-studded cast

in any of the bands we're talking about. The best three people he could possibly fucking be.

There's three the three best like people like like three of our favorite actors, I think,

like historically through this show right now. Brendan Fraser Academy Award winner Brendan Fraser.

Steve Buscemi and Adam Sandler. What an insane cast to put together. And then to have them

like form a rock band. And it's true. I remember the first time I was a part of a band and

we made a song happen. Like we made a song actually happen. Not like, hey, well you just play

an all jam with you. That kind of shit. But like now it's like you get that moment and you do feel

like these guys and they really do sell it really well, especially Brendan Fraser about how much

he really is dedicated to this music. Like I want to buy that. I think that was actually might have

been my prop when we talked about our heads. What was your problem? His the cassette. Oh that

knows a real to real, which is a real funnier that they showed up in 1990 something with a real

to real when they could have done vinyl cassette CDs. They brought a real to real to the studio.

They didn't have a player there. The most analog you could ever go. We just wanted you to really

feel it. You know, feel the warmth of this. Well, Will, you're up next. What do you got?

Um, for my last pick, I'm going to go with a scene and a movie that I honestly, I will say that

this one inspired me because I think it changed the world in some way. Man, what? What?

Hey, I believe that with my soul. Go fuck yourself.

If I believe that about Rex Manning, he can have whatever he wants. Okay.

My my last selection is from a movie called Revenge of the Nerds, which everyone knows,

and it's the this movie, man, tell me it didn't change the way people think of nerds. Back

this movie came out and it was bullying nerds. But now all of our kids think nerds are cool.

Yeah, sure. It changed everything. And I think this movie was huge in doing that because of these

casted characters. And in this movie on the journey, it takes you at the very end. They give you

one of the breath, the best fucking performances of music I've ever heard in my life.

Like it, I don't even, I told Tucker, I said, who the fuck did this? You guys need to help me.

Who fucking made this song? And who made? I'm going to find out right now. I was like, who, what?

What? Because when they play, like, it's at the end of the competition, they do some kind of like

talent show. And the nerds come up and play a fucking song with, and it starts out with point

decks. They're fucking cranking. And then, and then you have fucking booger back there looking like

Elvis, bro. And then the two nerds, they're sitting there on the fucking keys. And then you got

fucking Lamar as Michael Jackson. I mean, it's, it's unreal. I think they were trying to look like

death punk. Everybody. And, uh, and YMCA. Yeah. And L, no, no, the village people. And then, yeah,

the one dude was on the fucking bridge from the Indian. I was like, Jesus Christ. This is amazing.

And the, the stuff that they did on that little scene was just, I can't, no one's beating them

in a fucking talent show. I'll tell you that. Nobody. No. They could come back and do the exact

same thing next year. And it will win again. Oh, yeah. 100%. They could, they could redo that whole

scene right now as a real band somewhere and kids would lose it. You didn't even say the name of the

band. Oh, it's Lambda Lambda Lambda is their soror fraternity or whatever. I don't even think they,

they don't have a fucking name. They're just the nerds, bro. No, they're just Lambda Lambda Lambda.

I don't know if you want to trust this, but apparently it was written in performed by Oli

Brown of Oli and Jerry under the name Revenge. And apparently it was called, it was tied to a song

called They're So Incredible. So I may just be spitting pure lies online here, but that's what

that's what I'm hearing right now. I choose to believe it and get put some fucking respect on

that guy's name. And it was 1984. I believe I could be wrong on that date. But I mean, that was

pretty damn early to be doing a rap in a movie. You know what I mean? So respect to them for taking

those chances back. I feel like they blended a lot of music that doesn't, didn't happen in 1984.

You know what I mean? So shout out to that movie. That's what I was going to say. Like we were

recently just going to cover that movie and that like that performance, it kind of comes out of

nowhere. They prepare you a little bit for it. But it kind of comes out of nowhere because of how

kind of sick it is. Like they like compared to anything else that happens. Obviously it's pretty,

everything else that happens is pretty lame compared to that. But they truly do like lay their

fucking dick down on the stage and just like, well, that's it. Like one song is all you need.

And you're right. It encompasses a lot of musical genres. You're totally right.

Yeah. And after that, every one of those nerds are fucking most of those girls in the audience.

Legs. Legs. I mean, they're fine.

Well, Mark can have any dude from the Alpha Alpha. He wants, you know what I mean? Yeah, hands down.

I like the idea that they were blending genres as much as they were blending everything else.

Like having the Asian guy dress up as an Indian.

They're just going all out with it. And

and book or press, book or press the on air guitar or whatever is it? And like,

but I will tell you when I first saw that movie and you brought this up, well, like you pulled

this out. And I was immediately jealous that I did not think of it because when I first saw

this movie, probably something like late night comedy central or something. And I actually went

to YouTube and would just play that song over and over again. Like over and over again.

Just because it's the only thing only place you could find it. So like, man, that's such a great

pull. Something about their choreography too makes me laugh so hard when they were doing the like,

they'd they'd go up on beat number one on like the balls of their toes. That's like,

that's prime time choreography. Okay. I love this dude. That was so yeah, I'm glad you pointed

that out when I watched it again earlier. I was like, Oh, shit, this is serious right here.

They take practice. Yeah, it looked good. I know. I want to know how they how they got the rehearsal

time to do this, man, when they're doing all that other stuff they're doing. But then they pulled

it off. They must have been playing this for a long time. Well, before they got into this thing.

at Starbucks. Well, Sean, you're up next. What do you got, man? I'm just going to read you the

chorus to one of the songs from my next pick. Here we go. Friends for eternity loyalty honesty.

We'll stay together through thick and thin. Friends forever will be together. We are on top

because we play to win. This is Dragon Sound from Miami Connection. Are you sure that wasn't

Zack attack? Because it sure sounded like friends forever by Zack attack. It's only could have been,

could have been. But this, I mean, this is probably you could consider it a so bad. It's good

movie. Yes. But I don't consider that. I just think it's a fucking good movie. It's got Kung Fu or

sorry, Taikwondo. It's very specific in this. But it's about this these group of orphans and they

form a band and suddenly their club gets like hijacked by like gangsters and like cocaine dealers

and everything and they're all ninjas. And so they have to fight them as well. This stars and is

written by, let me find his name. Why can't why can't Kim? And I believe I watched like the

special features on this as I had to know more about this guy. But he just had like a Taikwondo

instruction or like class in I believe Florida. And very like motivational speaker kind of type guy.

And all his students were just, were just so taken by him. And he's written books. He's given

like seminars and then he just wanted to make a movie in the 80s. And he's like, well, I'll just cast

all of my students because hell yeah. And they had, he just had them in the movie and like had him fight

ninjas. And this, it's really, it's really kind of shocking how entertaining this movie is. And

it is kind of on the level obviously of like the room or movies like that. But there's so much

heart in it because he is completely serious about it. Like he's completely in it. And like

having a good time and everyone seems like they're, they're having a blast. But this band,

it's truly catchy music. It really is one of the guitar players. The band Angelo Genotti. He wrote

the music for this. It's friends. What was the chorus that I read? It's called friends. And then

against the ninja who also features Kathy Collier. Truly like actually catchy songs like kind of

unbelievably. Once you hear them, you're like friends forever and totally eternity. It's, it's

kind of crazy how like and they spend a lot of time filming them playing these songs live. Like

they do it several times. And so it's kind of like impossible to not get your wormed for these

songs. Such a fun movie. I love it so much. You guys ever seen that? Yeah. I mean, we watched

the live shit today. It was great. I was watching clips. I was watching clips of a lot of stuff today.

And you know, I did make some notes on that when they all were they all orphans. I think they

were all orphans, but he said, okay, I'm sorry. Great synopsis. And they all live together. And they

like beat up bikers in their in the night club. It's just a hilarious concept in the music. Just

I was listening to the soundtrack earlier. I believe I don't know who was in the group text, but

somebody was listening to the soundtrack. And I was like, I'm turning this shit on right now. And

I turned it on. I was up there doing dishes listening to the shit. Man, it's great. It's good music.

It's not bad. It's late. And they they did like a retrospective screening of this and had like

the the dragon sound reunion pretty much. And the the head guy, YK Kim, when when they show him

in the movie, he's got like a fender stratocaster and it's not plugged in. Of course, he's just up

there. So in the and the reunion, he's up there as well. And it's not plugged in. It's fantastic.

There's just so much heart to it. And you can't help but be charmed by it. It's it's just really

fun. Well, talk, you are up. What do you got for your last choice? Okay. So this one, you know,

I can identify with this one more than any of the other ones just because when I started out

doing music, you know, I was straight hip hop. Like I wanted to make hip hop music. I was heavily

inspired by hip hop music. It wasn't until later in that journey that I started adding the live

band instruments started getting more interested in that stuff. But for about four solid years,

I'd say, you know, 1994, you know, I was inspired by all the West Coast rap coming out at the time,

all the gangster rap, you know, and believe it or not, my little dumbass, you know, weighed 90 pounds

tried to make some hip like some hardcore rap music. All right, guys. So it's pretty embarrassing,

but I'm admitting it. So, you know, I can identify with my next movie is DJ from Hustle and Flow.

Okay. DJ, he's the hip hop artist from Hustle and Flow. And you know, there's just a lot of

similarities to the environment that I was in at the time to how DJ eventually got on his feet

in the hip hop game, if you will. You know, I'm going to start with his studio. You know,

I've been in, I've been in a lot of studios just like that before I ever stepped foot into a

real one. You know, from the the drink carriers, you get it like McDonald's or something, you know,

stapled on to the wall to to to the the keyboard being a keyboard that had speakers on it. And like

any like, you know, real musician will know your keyboard doesn't have speakers on it. You got

to plug that bitch in. You know what I'm saying? So this was like a hundred. Yeah, this was like a

50, you know, not a $60 keyboard, you know, is what they're using. I've been that guy, you know,

and I also, you know, it reminds me of when I was 14, there's a local music equipment rental shop

here called the doop shop here in Louisville, Kentucky. You know, I caught the city bus. I saved

up my money. I caught the city bus. I went to this store and rented a drum machine for one week

for $14. And I remember it and I took it to my attic. I took it to the attic of my mom's house,

plugged it in and literally started hitting these pads. And I'm like, oh my god. Like here it is.

Like about to make it. I'm about to make music. Like I am. I am now a hip-hop artist that knows how

to record music. You know, and so I just identified with a lot of shit that that, you know, DJ was going

through because he was literally untapped talent. You know, he's just like, man, I think I got this

talent just if it could get out there, you know, and what he had that's different from everyone else

or what's 50% of the music game in my opinion is drive and determination because you're going to hear

no after no after no before you hear that. Yes. And that's exactly what he did. He just was like,

you know what? Fuck it. You're going to tell me no. I'm going to the next one. Let's see what happens.

So yeah, that to me, it made me wonder though, how many other amazing musicians are out there

in this world that are just lazy? You know what I mean? They're just lazy. They don't have that

that other thing to keep them going. And you know, it's a building process. It takes time. So

he was willing to do the work. But anyway, so I went off on that tangent. I have more notes.

No, I'm inspired. Keep going. You got me fired up. Cool. But DJ was a Memphis hustler, right?

Trying to survive the day to day. He was in his mid 30s. Feeling like that time was running out.

He had no industry connections, no money, no road map to, you know, how this was done. He was

just like, we're going to figure it out. I got my little team, you know, and his team is another thing.

His team is, you know, everybody that starts out has to have this team. It will mean you are very

similar, you know, in that regard. Like will was, you know, a huge motivation for me when I was doing

music. I was the first one to tell you to believe. Yeah, street team, you know, you need to do this.

He's calling people making shit happen on our behalf. That type of shit. And that's what DJ had.

He had, he had the engineer, which who is probably, you know, he an inspiring musician himself.

He just maybe understood he didn't have the actual talent to do so. So he poured himself into

the technical end of the music. You know what I mean? So you got to have that guy. And of course,

you got to have the skinny white dude that can play them keys that knows how to turn that key

machine to scree screech powers from say by the bell. Same dude. Exactly the same guy. And he can

slap some key. He can slap some pads on that drum machine. And yeah. So for me, that was the,

the most relatable part was his studio, his group of people that he had around him that were pushing him.

And you have to have some hookers. Oh, yeah. And the hookers, you know, mine is the hooker.

We didn't have the hookers. But, um, oh, and then, yeah, always studio rats hanging around.

That was the hookers. I had never there. And you'd always be your friend. It's just street teamer.

That was the street teamer. That was his street team. And they went to, they went to, uh, well,

you never took it to that. No, I kept it professions. Yeah, because without without his hookers,

I can't remember her name in the movie. Um, it's too fucking big actresses, bro.

The, the, not, not the one to play shug. The one that sings harder here for a pimp. But the other

orange is new black chick. Oh, yeah, manning. Yeah, I forgot what her character is the one that

actually gets all the real work done. She, she gets him a microphone from the pawn shop. Yeah.

She goes in there and does what she has to do to get him a mic at the pawn shop. She goes to the

radio station, which was the real break because, you know, we just talked about that early. You

get your song on the radio when you made it, you know, you made it. And that's how he felt and

it ended up working out for him. But my, my favorite scene, y'all, my favorite scene is the hard

out here for a pimp scene, uh, where shug sings the chorus to, it's hard out here for a pimp.

When she hears that back for the first time, when you, the camera work, her, her emotion on her

face, it just, it's a huge moment. She realizes, oh, and she's a pregnant prostitute, by the way.

She realizes hearing that back for the first time that she is something else. She's not just

a pregnant prostitute and her emotion, the camera work. Dude, it's, if you watch that, if you

just really focus on it, like, I'm not going to say I choked up or anything, but I felt something.

I felt something. I felt something in my chest. It made me a little bit emotional seeing that

reaction, thinking about it. Like, here's this pregnant prostitute. She hears herself on this record.

She's like, holy shit. I have more to offer this world, you know? So. Yeah, man. I mean, especially

like if you're in a studio or like any, like making a movie, I'm sure like you're on set. You

shoot something. You're just like, okay, I don't know if that was good, man, but like, I think

we got it. And then when you get into editing, you put everything together, like, holy shit. It's

not, it's not bad. This is pretty good. Kind of the same thing. We're just like, you, you know,

you, you, you sing or speak into a microphone. And you're like, I don't know if any of that was

usable. And then you, you get, you hear it played back or like, you listen to it in a car,

speak. You're like, fuck. All right. That's actually not too bad. Yeah. That's, that's a great

way to put it. Yeah. It reminds me of the first time you hear your, you, you, when you talk

into a microphone and you even just hear yourself back through a PA and you're like, oh my God,

is that what I sound like? But then eventually like, it, you know, I played guitar mostly or whatever.

But when I figured out something to play guitar and then like, I wrote a song or I've made a song

with somebody, you're right. You're just like, wow. I did a thing, man. You know, and it's funny how

like a lot of our conversations are coming around and this kind of, this kind of vein of like real

lot, your realization of that you kind of exactly what you just said, like all these guys,

well, except for X Manning, really have a lot more to offer, you know, people than just like

what they thought. It's a, and that's, that's such a good sentiment, man. And I do have some more

notes. Another epic scene is when he goes to the bathroom in ludicrous, his character had

like overdosed or something and was in there passed out. And he had recently giving ludicrous his

demo tape and he saw it in the toilet while ludicrous was passed out. And I think every, you know,

a musician can identify with that feeling of trying to get your music to somebody. And then

if you were to see them throw it away or to see it in the toilet, how that would make you feel,

well, DJ proceeds to stop ludicrous out on the ground in a bad way. And I'm not saying I agree with

that. But you felt it. But I'm saying I understand. You know what I mean? I get it. My last note here,

guys, my last note, Terrence Howard actually was a pretty good rapper in the movie. And before the

movie, he actually had never wrapped it all. So he had to study, which, you know, all great actors do,

they all have these stories of, you know, camping out somewhere, Johnny Depp with Hunter S Thompson

for however long, all that shit, right? Well, I think he has everyone beat. I think Terrence Howard

has everyone beat not only did he have a ton of help from three six mafia's DJ Paul, which to me,

that's pretty fucking cool. But I found another incredible note, guys, and I just have to read it

straight from the internet. And I did multiple searches to make sure that this wasn't some like

AI slop or something or some bad information that was on the internet. And I'm getting the same

shit from multiple sources. So listen to this. I'm going to end on this. I said, I asked the internet

how how Terrence Howard played his part so well. How did he rap so well internet? How did he become

this pimped so well internet? And this is what I got full blown immersion into Memphis. All right,

to prepare for the role, Howard spent two and a half years interviewing 123 pimps.

And 78 prostitutes, including living with four different pimps and spending a month in a

Memphis brothel. Hey, there you go. Wow. Just Daniel Day losing the whole thing for us, man. I love it.

Talk about raw dog in life. Not good. Yeah, dude. I feel like there's got to be something behind

that of like eventually like a two and a half years of doing that. Eventually, he kind of forgot

he was just supposed to be researching. You know, exactly. He'd be dead. He probably liked it at

one point or another. You're right. I think that song, hard out here for a pimped by I think

three six mafia won the best or best song for that movie. Pretty sick to see them take the stage

and grab a notch. Well, that's a great choice. AJ, you're closing us out. What is the final act that

you have chosen? All right. You got to go big. I got to go big. And what's bigger than

what's bigger than the glam and the hair of 80s metal, right? You can make fun of it as much as

you want. But I really like get jazzed every time I hear like them then play these these songs.

And it's steel dragon from the movie rock star. And steel like we've talked about rock star

previously. Fuck it. But the whole movie is based on this. It was Tim Ripper Owens

who replaced Rob Halford in Judas Priest after being in a tribute band. So then they made this

story with Mark Wahlberg of being in this tribute band with Timothy Allafant and smarter guys.

And like I almost picked their band, which I think it's called blood pollution.

Is there a tribute band name? We're not a cover band. We're a tribute band, okay? It's just like

it's like no, dude, you're you're copying him to a tee and they want to play these songs. And he

goes and he does that audition for steel dragon. And he sings that song. And the lyrics are

cheesy as hell. It's like, it's like let the river flow through my calloused hands. And you're just

like, it's like, but at the same time, just like, yeah, yeah, let it let it flow through my hands,

dang it. Yeah. And you just feel like inspired for a minute of watching this happen and like

hearing the guitars. And then you realize, you know what? We talked about a lot of musicians who

are not playing all these guys are fucking playing their music, man.

Well, Zach Wilde is wonderful. You have, yeah, you have an entire band of like legit musicians

that's Zach Wilde from Ozzy Osborne and Black Label Society. Jeff Pilsen was on base from Dockin

and Jason Bonham, who is John Bonham's son from Led Zeppelin. Played for forerner a little bit.

Played for forerner. I mean, they're all grade A musicians, you know, metal musicians like

living that life for the most part. And like watching a lot of those songs and the production,

I love like the speed cameras that you get of like them building the sets and stuff in preparation

for their shows. And then you get those moments too behind the stage where he's like really nervous.

And I can remember like a million times before I was going to play a show. And you've got to go,

it's like all of a sudden I got a pee. And it's like, nope, you're going to have to just use that

for now. And you just go and do it. I mean, it's like, it's really, really cool because you see it

happen very quickly. This guy's rise to stardom and then how you just really realize it's like the

first inkling of music. The money and the fame isn't what's going to make you happy in the end.

You know, but I don't know. There's also something to be said about the guys who decided to keep

going on and playing even though he left again. So I don't know, man, Steel Dragon is made some of

like some amazing 80s music. And they made and they were real musicians. And Rockstar, I think,

is a pretty damn underrated move. It's not bad. It's like I'm just saying kind of kind of compared

to Terrence Howard and his his research that he did. We'll call it. Yeah. It's not to that level

whatsoever. But Mark Walberg did go like on the streets of of Hollywood or whatever. He grew his

hair out for real and he walked the streets of Hollywood in like his leather jacket. Definitely

not to the level of Terrence Howard. But to the level of a method acting as Mark Walberg can get,

I guess, I guess we get this. It's kind of a poetic way to end this whole thing because we're

talking about a lot of these groups that's like, follow your dreams, like, just keep going. And then

like sometimes like you do follow your dreams. You're like, yeah, I don't, I don't really want to

do that anymore. I should, I should stop doing that. So it's not always perfect. Yeah. I keep

and go on. It's the worst thing you can do. I actually had one note for that. And it's funny

that you said that, uh, dockin, uh, who was it? The guitar player from dockin? Uh, uh, Jeff

Pilsen. He was the bass player. The bass player. Well, uh, the one note that I had says major

Sebastian Bach meets dockin vibes. So that's funny. Exactly. Dude, I think that

like that band is one of the only picks out of anyone that has picked anything that is it could

actually have been real. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like like you're saying that band was so like

us all real musicians and fuck, who says Mark Walberg could be a lead singer or something? You

know what I mean? Like, who is better? Um, steel dragon or dragon sound? Oh, and notice the

dragon, uh, dragon's the most a cool 80s thing ever. Who's better? Absolutely. Yeah. If you're

going to do an 80s thing, it better include dragon. Okay. Okay. I just think like some of those

songs, I, I'll, I've, I'm going to go and listen to those songs now after this in my car for whatever

reason. Um, and I'm going to crank it up, man. I'm going to be driving a Kia Telluride just blast

in steel dragon. Wait, do you have a Kia Telluride? Let's go. Dude. Yeah. I'm, I'm kind of digging it.

All right. I'm saying, Hey, if you lock it in at the speed limit, it'll drive itself. Just

I don't know if you know. Dude, it does. I was like, I was like, man, it reminded me to like,

hey, you still got a steer, bro. I was like, okay, okay. I just legit all the time. I literally

push it to the limits. I'll be going through like the, uh, the, uh, the mountains down here in

Kentucky and Tennessee. I'll turn it on. I mean, you got 90 degree and it'll, it'll do it. Hands

off. My wife is yelling at me. Stop. I love it. Well, there you have it. I mean, it's like a

perfect blend of, of, uh, nostalgia and movies and music, which only super retro and confused

breakfast could bring you. I mean, it's, it's really the only two people, two groups that could

have made this happen. I'm just saying. For sure. We agree. And we definitely got to do this again,

guys, because now we kind of, you know, broke the ice here. We kind of, we know how it's going to

work now. Man, we can, we can add this into the rotation. You know, all you guys, I mean, more so

than me, like, I like how music was such an inspiration for everyone here, like on a personal level,

like, you know, besides the nostalgia and podcasts and, and all the stuff we do, like you guys are

all musicians. And I was a manager of a band. I think it's really cool. How like that's some passion

that all of us have. Sure. Yeah. I mean, music and movies, music movies, TV, it's all such a like

an intertwined thing. I think for a lot of people where, you know, like a, a movie won't be what it is

without the soundtrack coming up underneath it. And it's just, I think we all naturally gravitate

towards all of this, you know, I, it's, I, that's why we've got along from the start is because we're,

we've all played music. We love music. And, and it's clear, it's the same for you guys. That's why,

that's why you guys kind of hooked up. Yeah. And talk had a good decade of trying to make a

getting record deals. So like, that was our thing was music. And then once it didn't,

when once the record deals went away, we were just like, fuck, you want to do a podcast? Yeah.

I remember I texting that. It's like, dude, we should do a podcast. Yeah, he was all over me about

it. I was like, I'm not doing a podcast. Well, now I got more beats to make. But I'm glad I did.

It turns, it turns out you can use some of the equipment to just make a podcast. It's like,

well, I guess we got the stuff. We might as well give it a shot. And so I mean, a road,

a roadcaster is basically a drum machine. It's just got all the buttons. Exactly. I say it all

time. I'm like, you know, people are like, how, how, how do you guys do that? Why does your stuff

look and sound, you know, pretty good? I'm like, well, spent 20 years doing it, doing the audio

stuff. So I'm pretty sure I figured out how to make it work over on this side. You know,

that was my deal. I was like, Tuck, Tuck was a producer. Like, oh, yeah. And he's cool. Let's do it.

Thanks, man. Very rare. The producer is cool as well. Good and cool.

Right, Logan? Sorry, I just got flipped off. Well, yeah, I agree. I think we should,

we should standard rotation this. In fact, we should meet like whatever halfway is between us.

It'll be like some sleazy motel and like Illinois. Yeah. Like that's where we just ran it out

for a weekend and just set up a studio. That'd be awesome. Yeah, we'll do a road trip.

For sure. I'm down. I really would love to dive into to any of like some some of the video game

stuff that you guys have been doing and whatnot and like riff on some of that. I mean,

there's so much stuff that we like that peripheral stuff from the movies and whatnot that,

I mean, I would just love to get get into your guys' world a little bit too. Come on. Yeah,

can't wait. Let's go. Whoops, like we're best friends. Whoops. Oh, best friends.

Two cool guys want to hang out with us. Oh, no. It sucks because like the the the

disconnection of obviously doing this over the internet. Yes. I could just the budding kind of

nature. Like they were right here. I'd be like, oh, that was sick. Yeah. I just want to reach over

and like touch them. Yes. And I can't do that. Yeah. And you know, you do, you try to,

you try your best to kind of like, you know, give people the space. You don't want to, you don't

want to just be jumping over. I can't stop myself sometimes guys. So what? But you know what?

It's just because I'm all excited and stuff and I'm all excited. So much so much so much fun. I'm

all excited and stuff. Or it's yeah, conversations like this were never intended to be through a

fucking TV screen eight hours away from each other. But you know what? That's the beauty of technology.

That's the beauty of Logan and upload media group, you know, making things like this happen.

Yeah. And we already made plans off air to basically meet in like a sleazy super eight in

champagne, Illinois. Yeah. Which is about our halfway point. And you know, maybe just get some

hard drugs. Get a get a conference room and just the conference room. That's the janitors closet.

Probably which might look we're basically going to bring we're basically going to bring the movie

Cedar Rapids to them. Yeah. And in the middle of we're going to meet in the middle in a town in

the middle. Yeah. Yeah. So I think that's what we're going to do. It's going to be fun. Well,

like we said, check them out. And we got some good stuff coming up. Clueless coming up this

week. Clueless. Like what do you what more do you want from us? We got a dime out of the vengeance

next. Die hard with a vengeance. Can't wait. Somebody decided we're going to skip number two and

go to number three because it doesn't matter. With the vengeance is so fucking sick. Spoiler alert.

I'd be like us going straight to like return of the king. Yeah. We're like doing aliens

first before aliens. Yeah, that's a little different. That actually does not compare to what I'm

saying. You know, I'm a little bit. Look, I get that it's a series and stuff, but it's different.

Okay. Okay. Okay.
