The Best of Show Part 2 - Podcast 100

♪ music ♪

happy 100th show i feel like i should have a better intro than that but we don't um that's what this is this is our 100th show we've done 99 shows before this and for our 100th show uh we just thought we'd put together some of our clips of some of sound guy nerman and myself uh our favorite shows uh so yeah if you've never listened before now's the time to pick up all the really interesting funny stuff that we do and all that and this is really the best show to listen to because it cuts out all the bad bad parts except for these the little introductions i do are going to be terrible but that's just part of the gig so uh anyway our first clip is going to be uh we're going to do these kind of staggered we have i think seven all together and so we're going to do two and then we're going to do a little segue then we're going to do a set of three then we're going another little segue then we're going to do another set of two so and we're going to play songs in between i don't know what songs yet but probably from the bands involved in these that would be my thought but some of these bands aren't together anymore so we'll figure it out like our first band pushed to talk who actually showed up way the hell back in episode number 11 we had this interview done before our first clip show which happened on episode 10 uh you may recall i bet you do i bet you've been listening but uh so after episode 10 or before episode 10 we had this interview but we wanted to do a clip show for episode 10 and so this didn't get to make it on there and it was actually really really funny and we were kind of bummed on it um so we decided we were going to reach back like 90 episodes into the archive and start off this show with this clip and they were a fun bunch of guys really nice one of them actually ended up working at the same place as sound guy nerman for a little while but then he left to go on missionary or sabbatical and i don't know what the fuck he does now but hopefully he's not homeless fingers crossed and uh then we're gonna do a track by the falcon when we did the interview with uh two of the members of the falcon and tobias jag of red scare and uh it's a really good clip that whole i mean anything with brendan is usually really really funny but i feel these clips in particular highlight uh what it is people like about him uh other than i guess his music if you don't listen to that so there it is we're gonna play track we're gonna play those two clips and then we'll be back uh thanks for listening i hope you enjoy them remember this is just the hits

a little while because everyone else has been really old so we're gonna ask you guys because you're young and hip immature yeah i was asked this by a guy a long time ago and i tend to ask it of other people if the smurfs fought the ninja turtles who would win well ninja turtles because i mean what the hell but there's turtle generation but there's like 4 000 smurfs yeah but the ninja turtles have training i don't think the smurfs really have anything going for them except those hats gargamel comes down and they're fucking out yeah they never try to beat gargamel they just try to avoid gargamel yeah or they build some sort of contraption you know like those are ninjas they're gonna find them in the middle of the night you know they can see in the dark did you just say they eat pizza that's the reason they clearly eat pizza the literary reference i'm gonna use with this is the only reason the little fusions got gulliver was because gulliver did not have the training in martial arts that the ninja turtles did and also there's like five is that a literary quote also gulliver's travels maybe you've heard of it no i thought you were referring to someone else said that no wait are the smurfs like a takeoff of gulliver's travels perhaps no i mean it could be some weird twisted way but they're blue i don't know i saw it was i'm not gonna lie i was a version on tv a couple years ago wow that's sad they're so much better huh yeah they had fucking snorkels on their head that did nothing if you breathe underwater why do you need a snorkel snorks uh because it looks cooler all right 20 dollar follow-up ninja turtles versus the thundercats oh man i feel like there were a lot of thundercats weren't there did the thundercats have swords there were about five but there was like two planes weren't there i feel like the thundercats were much more cosmic than the ninja turtles yeah before they may have a little more power over the ninja turtles the thundercats were pretty savage they were pretty magical i'm pretty sure a bo staff will not do shit when you shoot your giant laser beam out of your airplane play more yeah across a little head those guys aren't that big they're fucking turtles no actually cats versus turtles i mean if you think about it way better than alien versus predator yeah or savage dragon versus ninja turtles duh yeah i was really ready for the vanilla ice versus ninja turtles i'll uh ninja turtles movie but it never happened okay so wait what if robocop what if it was go ninja go what if what if the ninja turtles had casey jones and splinter casey jones was a match for the turtles that's true he totally took him out casey jones wait he's like hockey stick jones and splinter versus thundercats versus thundercats i still think that's like six on i'm not gonna do shit on a fucking laser sab as fuck he was raised in the streets i don't know where's this battle are we taking this place to the mountains or are we doing this in the city streets because i don't know how the thundercats are gonna you know acclimate to like to the new york city streets especially underground and i don't know if they can deal with the social responsibility of killing thousands of innocent people just to get a couple ninja turtles tights and uh speedos basically yeah seriously really quick about ninja turtles what's the deal with them putting on a fucking dick tracy overcoat and a hat and no one knows you're a fucking turtle and it's a big green guy with a with a turtleneck holy shit it is a hunchback wow there's four of them weird there's a big fucked up got a different colored mask held hair hmm weird come on though you can see that here and you probably honestly you just don't look at people in this city you just avoid eye contact and look ahead unless they're slapping you green wearing an overcoat and a hat and you have a fucking hell of uh like a lone ranger headband on i'm gonna look at you i wouldn't i'd fucking run the other way yeah i'm i'm i won't lie he fucks some shit up yeah i want to ask kind of a real question so you guys have members from alkaline show lawrence arms do you guys get find you get more fans from either band or is it just kind of all new fans man i find that it's just like we have so many fans i don't even know who's from where you know it's kind of it's kind of hard to determine it's like you know and i when kids you know they buy the record i try as much as i can to be in the record store whenever a kid's buying one of our records and um you do a pretty good job i do it all right and every time they pick it up i'm like hey hey hey what is it that's making you pick up this record is it is it is it the the guy from the alkaline trio that's in the band is the guy from the or is it perhaps just that i'm standing here or was it like the great review that uh you read on punknews.org that gave it five stars that was a great review i didn't agree with the five stars but it was a good review i don't think it really got five stars i don't think i think it got three and a half so anyway from uh the kids i've contacted um it seems like there's kind of a mixed bag most of them are just afraid because they're standing in the immediate vicinity yeah toby pissing in the middle of the interview so this was the first time you've played guitar since baxter right did you you play guitar on a record yeah on a record yeah i did some uh guitar playing on the cardinal sin record very little really what on the newest yeah the hurry up and wait hurry up and wait yeah and great flight did you you engineered that did you work on that one i did you did yep that was a fun one i actually never mind i saw them open for you guys in columbus oh yeah long time ago in the bernie's distillery bernie's distillery yeah that's one of my favorite places one of our collective favorite places to play shows i think man that's where sean nader stuck the pill up his ass and the roadie from the blackout packed fuck the mom and she squirted all over their van because she was a squirtor well what take that that was a one two three right there yeah i don't think there's any way to fucking talk but that's also where when nader tried to stick the pill up his ass it actually fell out and fell into the floor of bernie's distillery and he said i'll just i'll just wash it off and take it no he goes he goes the pill i think it fell out of my ass if you find it um give it to me i'll take it again but i'm not sticking it up my ass again and i was like you know what the only thing maybe dirtier than your anal cavity is uh the floor of bernie's distillery yeah i've done things there great moment in time i have on you so wow anyway love that place i live by that rule that you stick them up your ass just once no you don't i've watched you stick things on me up your ass multiple times you can eat it afterwards but only up your ass you mean everything once like go through the entire catalog of the dictionary i've been fairly benign all right is this is this interview over slowing down all right so uh segwaying into our next set of clips this is the middle section where it's kind of like the second act of a movie or play where it's longer but it's not really as good no sorry uh these are actually some of my uh i'm i'm so fucking funny i'm like jimmy fallon oh god that's the worst comparison i've ever made for myself i hate jimmy fallon and i'm not that ugh anyhow so these are some good clips i just didn't want to insult the bands uh the first clip is 8-bit who you may remember if you don't they're the robot rap group based out of the la area uh is actually they were really really fun really a bunch of good dudes and they actually invited us to hang out after the interview uh because we're awesome cinched that but uh we weren't able to because i'm old and tired and they wanted to do fun stuff uh after the 8-bit interview uh the section from 8-bit we're going to be going on to dead to me uh who you may remember uh we did ian am i i say you may remember a lot sorry but it's uh ian and chicken from that band chicken really really fun a lot of good stuff coming out of that guy and then third we got new mexican disaster squad which actually that interview did have chicken showing up in it we don't go over that bit new mexican disaster squad you may recall not a band anymore uh they've all gone on to form like virgins no friends um skater face and richard from uh new mexican disaster squad of course runs the very awesome horse bites design who uh do just fantastic work so it's it's a lot of fun and these are all like these are just good clips these aren't the informative clips these aren't the the clips you listen to when you're like oh i wonder what was the inspiration for that song these are the clips when you hear the bands talk about like balls and doing drugs and shitting in the van in a jar which actually happened in the new mexican disaster squad interview but we don't talk about that we had to cut that for length but enjoy these we're going to come back and then we're going to wrap it up with two more clips for our 100th show i feel we should have fireworks or something but i mean we've only been on essentially i guess one fourth the time of the simpsons but i haven't made a really shitty movie yet so i feel we got that going for us enjoy the song uh we're gonna play a song i don't know what fucking song yet but it'll be awesome and uh then we're gonna play uh some clips enjoy is there any hope for us or are the rumors true are we just the moch and kindling that accrues

two of us now how the fuck did that come about for scratch every now and again uh me and robo t will work on whatever just bullshit commercials or whatever help out yeah and uh it was a dr phil like a match.com thing yeah so we were stuck on a fucking golf course with fucking dr phil all day and the funny thing is is that he's a fraud like he doesn't really act like he made a rule for himself or he will only work for two hours in a given day so like a fake dr phil showed up he's got an evil twin looks exactly like him and does like close-ups and all the mid shots and everything for real yeah but and then dr phil does like the adr post shit whoa so he only showed up for two hours the other guy worked for like 10 hours what like at two hours he's like i'm gone yeah he's like i won't work i won't work one two hours whatever the fuck i'm too busy waxing oprah's coochie you should do is work for me and the guy you're starting to sound like you're starting to sound like tim ford the guy was the guy that was the fake the fake dr phil even said that he was he like accepted an award for dr phil the night before what either accepted an award or presented an award one of the two dr phil the one the only dr phil so we hope dr phil dies a horrible death goes back to that whole aids topic does dr does this dude at least get paid decent money or do you seem like fucking miserable like that's all he could do for he's pretty miserable but he does get paid pretty well from what i understand better than any of us fucking bitch asses yeah but i mean in the end at the end of the day he has to know that he's dr phil standing and well but then then again imagine how many like 40 year old bitches you could bone hey so you want to polish my head while you give me head yeah oh yeah who's dr phil now bitch turn around let's try and move forward and all this talking about live shows how many you guys have you played a lot together as did to me yeah we've probably done i think like six world tours now and um we've done we actually toured the moon once yeah which was fucking amazing the mosh pit the kids go off the kids go off the moon kids the moon pit you've never seen you haven't witnessed a pit dude even in the middle of a fucking uh spin kick in zero gravity you know what i'm saying picking up change any asshole can fucking pick up change on planet earth but when you're doing that shit in zero gravity that's impressive man that is it's a whole different it's a whole nother fucking level yeah man now we've gone and played some shows around we do local stuff and we've taken a couple uh west coast trips you know we went out strike anywhere for um fuck what seemed like what seemed like an exhausting exhausting two-day trip which was wow i was really trying on the band and uh and then on the strike anywhere band too but uh we you know we forged through it and we uh friends were made i think i i think i impregnated one of the members of strike anywhere on that trip which would defy most people's conceptions of you know like uh what is possible in nature but it's actually uh when when a love is that strong anything is possible you know what i'm saying i'm i'm i really don't want to say i do even if i do know just yeah for you know i see what you're saying for public reasons i'm not allowed to say yeah we've done some stuff man we love playing live but we it doesn't really make a lot of sense to go out without um a release just because you don't have anything to share with the kids and to leave the kids with so um we'll be hitting it pretty hard as soon as this record comes out we're kind of doing a bunch of touring man this fall late summer fall winter um any kind of uh equinox time any solstice dates things like that we'll be hitting it hard around those around those things yeah yeah it's true you just made up seasons yeah time periods for that it's really how far reaching this band is you know what i mean we we don't let things like um you know science and um reality hold us back from from doing anything i think that's good yeah it's the only way to go yeah uh-huh first being that you guys are from orlando has anyone here ever worked at disney world actually i worked at sea world oh that's i cleaned up everyone's shit and shamu stadium when they were done oh you had to go through like clean out yeah the whole stadium shit and i i was the guy who actually picked the little kid and the hot woman to get like taking their picture with shamu in the middle of the uh the show or whatever but it was only like a spring break work program that i worked and it was a little kid but let me tell you the best story first day i get there everyone is so bummed and i'm like why are all these trainers and everyone like so bummed out turns out they had a killer whale that died that day the first day i started and it was like some fucked up whale who had like mentally handicapped problems i i don't know how i don't want to be pc but i guess i have to be but uh anyway it was a retarded whale it was very retarded and had no bodily functions on its left side so the the the trainer would call it in and it could only swim in a circle fucking whale swimming in a goddamn circle probably for like 30 minutes while trying to wrangle this beast in when they should have just gotten a giant fucking hook and slammed it right through the fucking hole the blowhole on top and just fucking wheeled it on in no but seriously it was a very funny day it was it was tragically amusing yeah with that type of compassion for animals you and russ man just you must talk about animal rights all the time you think that whale rode the short bus maybe oh a small whale bus swim in a small that's why you don't get a fucking mic all right wait can you put in a sound effect of a snare drum and a cymbal like the rim shot we could probably rim jobs could we could oh that was the other sound board we could add cowbells fuck i missed that thing oh man all right all right before uh we head out here i don't know if we'll do an outro but we kind of play this shit by ear as of right now this is the last thing i may be recording uh in case of the oncoming zombie apocalypse but these are the last two clips we're gonna be playing and they are comprised of horse the band and of course the lawrence arms because out of every interview we've done and seriously we've done 99 shows we've done 98 shows involving bands lawrence arms literally swear to god number one most talked about interview whenever someone like knows this and i'm not saying like a lot of people it's like five people who have ever listened to this show but whenever they do everyone's always like oh the best show you guys ever did was the lawrence arms and it kind of blows because i didn't do shit like the lawrence arms was really cruise control so we just kind of turned brendan and neil and chris on and let them run the show but what do you what can i what can you say some people are good at it but uh first clip is eight or eight but is horse the band great great great guys really funny guys actually are on vagrant records now they're doing a lot so a lot of people are polarized by these guys but you know i like them i'm on i guess put me in the like them camp if you got to uh play some music of course the band and the ever popular lawrence arms closing out the show hope you guys enjoy it hopefully we get at least i don't want to say we're going to do 100 more shows because that's pompous and like i'll be 40 by that time and i'll probably be doing like all oldies at that point so i don't want to say we'll do another 100 but hopefully we got at least five more shows than us and we don't crap out like a bunch of other fucking punk rock podcast high five to top welt what's going on guys oh i'm just fucking with you guys i love the fact that you erased all our shit from wikipedia peace all right we'll see you guys next week here's some songs here's

answered no dude go ahead and answer them because i've got questions you got questions your own all right answers going back to uh bands that uh you guys are talking about uh chiotos keeps getting they seem to get mentioned a lot kind of in conjunction with you guys not in a positive light is there any particular reason for this we're really big fans of chiotos matter of fact on warp tour eric stood in line for 40 minutes to get their autographs only to be thrown out of line it was sad i don't think chiotos are big fans of yours well he wanted an autograph and he had a cuts man shirt and everything and they wouldn't have it look at dog did they like point you out and they were like get him out of line actually yes the funny thing was they knew who i was which was kind of it was actually really what's the word okay gratifying flattering that's it thank you obstentatious obstentatious that dog is eating a red baron's pizza now that's racist because that dude doesn't even have a home i don't someone should get that oh he took the pizza from the dog and now he's throwing it again oh you're talking oh there's a new album yeah i was talking about the dude over here in the gutter oh the sweater tell fight racism get a home buddy racism you're bringing me down in this interview all right uh chiotos they are gaining weight they have sweet swoops have sold more albums than us their keyboard player is way better than me and in two years you'll never have any idea who they are so that pretty much explains that i had a long conversation with the singer of chiotos during warp tour and he pretty much confirmed to me that they're just going to give up as a band after another year lots of drug problems so apparently everyone for some reason or another confides in you no i i was talking to the singer chiotos he told me his real name is charles and he told me that uh one year from um august 15th chiotos is going to break up because they essentially know that they're not any good and uh they're going to do one more album but it's going to essentially be a ray charles covers broken down into pop punk patterns with a couple like dissonant like breakdowns and then they're just going to say they're done we can only hope i mean a lot of people like them so that's kind of disappointing to me you know because a lot of people will be bummed but really if they're just going to openly admit to like copying bands it's probably better off if they just stop because chiotos matter of fact what is a chiotos i think it's i mean we know what a horse is we know what a band is but what's a chiotos i think of a mexican dish i picture like a quesadilla and like a grundle between somebody's balls and ass somehow like mixed up like a like a chode quesadilla but when i asked the singer charles about what what a chiotos was he said it was a a broken heart descending from that sky catching fire because of its sorrow okay guys look at the guy going by he's a pimp he told me he had three girls at home looking for a party i'm pretty sure that was an offer okay next question three girls samuel l jackson not at all racist all right what all right next question moving forward so uh since you're engineer yes go on all right a lot of a lot of the things i've read have said you guys write your albums and concepts or themes where you take kind of a concept and carry it throughout your album and yet there are bands like uh coheed and cambria and mars volta who write really ridiculous concept albums you want to know the difference yeah you want to know the difference the difference is this you see our hair straight there's curly that's the difference that's what it takes you get that curly hair that now i mean wavy i guess it's wavy you look like bo from the dukes of hazard these guys look like willis from different strokes it's a whole different fucking situation and um you know what what they do no not okay well here's here's here's basically the thing like um and i can't really express like the mars volta those guys obviously are like into fucking heroin or something because they're really out there but i can speak for coheed and cambria those guys have obviously never had sex before and you know they've like been like into like the dungeon master monsters guide for as long as they've been alive and they get to the time they're going to write they're writing like sci-fi and yeah they're writing sci-fi in record form it's like you know like before i never had sex i was into comic books and dungeon the dragons and shit like that fortunately then i had sex and then i and then i got into high school and then everything was fine you know i mean these guys are like fucking 30 year old guys who've never had sex they're still into dungeons and dragons and that's cool and if that's the way you want to write your albums that's the way you write your albums but i mean unfortunately for them you'll only sell like 100 000 albums right if you're if you're like us you know very fashionable 20 000 albums you know 20 000 is a nice round number if you're lucky yeah exactly um yeah but i think those are like really concept records whereas our records frankly are you know loosely conceptual i feel like theirs are premeditated ours are after the records are written we go oh there's kind of a common theme let's try to tie something together let's try and throw it all maybe not overall but you know what on our last record i think it was definitely like we made a conscious effort to capture the spirit of the things that got us into punk rock in the first place and that was something that we talked about before we'd ever written a song and something that even to this point uh you know a year after it's come out i feel like at i mean i'm obviously the last person we're probably the last three people that can say if we were successful or not at achieving that but i feel like it's as good of a version as i could do of the things that got me excited about punk rock as yeah i mean so and in that way it is a conceptual record and it was like premeditated we talked about what we wanted the record to like but we didn't have to be about but also how we but more what it was about was how it would be received you know uh but they're if we were to hear it but we weren't we weren't so interested in like the characters involved and like the you know amount of hit points that their swords would damage the other characters right or yeah what plan you know and that and that i think is really is that the planet that's going down danteline what it's a planet at war apparently really planet at war is that what that's about i just know they have that banner ad which is uh would you kill your children to save a civilization and i would
