Hey, this is Bobby from the F 'n Cultured Podcast,

00:00:02.859 --> 00:00:05.980
and you're listening to My Weekly Mixtape with

00:00:05.980 --> 00:00:08.679
Brian Colburn. Hope you brought your appetite,

00:00:08.939 --> 00:00:12.039
because you're all invited to the F 'n Cookout,

00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:27.160
baby! Welcome to My Weekly Mixtape, a podcast

00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:30.300
that takes the classic mixtape approach to building

00:00:30.300 --> 00:00:33.259
a modern playlist. I'm your host, Brian Colburn.

00:00:33.539 --> 00:00:35.899
Joining me for tonight's collaboration is Bobby

00:00:35.899 --> 00:00:39.280
Schultz, host of the FN Cultured podcast, who

00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:42.460
some might remember as a frequent guest over

00:00:42.460 --> 00:00:45.420
at Playlist Wars. Bobby, thank you so much for

00:00:45.420 --> 00:00:47.880
joining me tonight over here on my weekly mixtape

00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:49.640
this time. Thanks for having me. Thank you very

00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:53.060
much. As I start every episode of the show, I'm

00:00:53.060 --> 00:00:55.159
going to throw you the same question I throw

00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:58.380
everyone else. What does the word mixtape mean

00:00:58.380 --> 00:01:01.890
to you? It's a good question. I'm one of those

00:01:01.890 --> 00:01:04.909
weird people that proudly wears the label Xennial.

00:01:05.549 --> 00:01:09.129
I was born in that very small frame between like

00:01:09.129 --> 00:01:12.969
81 and 85 where we don't want to be called millennials,

00:01:13.170 --> 00:01:19.810
but we're not Gen Xers. So mixtapes were... When

00:01:19.810 --> 00:01:22.549
I was young, it was just a way to try to catch

00:01:22.549 --> 00:01:24.650
singles off of the radio. You just had to be

00:01:24.650 --> 00:01:27.450
listening and have a tape ready. I never really

00:01:27.450 --> 00:01:30.890
procured a mixtape until I was in high school

00:01:30.890 --> 00:01:35.549
and things like Napster and LimeWire came around.

00:01:36.049 --> 00:01:38.989
And with connections and stuff being so bad,

00:01:39.150 --> 00:01:42.340
I just... mate like random songs that i could

00:01:42.340 --> 00:01:46.180
download at decent speeds would go on so i'll

00:01:46.180 --> 00:01:48.760
be the first one on your show here to be like

00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:51.180
i loved mixtapes because i can put whatever i

00:01:51.180 --> 00:01:53.340
want in them but i'm someone who listens to everything

00:01:53.340 --> 00:01:56.780
and it doesn't all need to thematically go together

00:01:56.780 --> 00:01:58.900
like i can sit there and listen to raining blood

00:01:58.900 --> 00:02:01.159
and then all of a sudden want josh groban or

00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:04.599
clay aiken in the next track so which may or

00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.810
may not rear its head in my tendencies this evening.

00:02:08.650 --> 00:02:12.569
Well, I will say it is 2023 right now. So if

00:02:12.569 --> 00:02:16.150
you used one of those services you spoke of on

00:02:16.150 --> 00:02:18.210
dial up, one of the files might be done soon.

00:02:18.289 --> 00:02:20.550
So hopefully it might be. I should I should call

00:02:20.550 --> 00:02:22.169
my mom and ask her how the other phone line is

00:02:22.169 --> 00:02:25.870
doing. All right. Well, tonight, Bobby and I

00:02:25.870 --> 00:02:28.830
are curating a mixtape filled with summer cookout

00:02:28.830 --> 00:02:32.909
or barbecue songs. But there's a twist. We are

00:02:32.909 --> 00:02:36.900
not. curating a mixtape about the songs you should

00:02:36.900 --> 00:02:40.479
play at a cookout or barbecue, because that would

00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:42.740
be too easy. Yeah, that's boring. Why would we

00:02:42.740 --> 00:02:44.400
want to make sense and do something like that?

00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:48.020
Yes, we are going to make this ridiculously hard

00:02:48.020 --> 00:02:50.280
on the two of us, and we're going to curate a

00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:54.199
playlist of songs that highlight the foods you

00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:58.120
eat at a summer cookout or barbecue. Let's call

00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.319
tonight's episode a musical smorgasbord, if you

00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:03.740
will. We're menu planning for the evening. Yes.

00:03:04.180 --> 00:03:07.300
So, Bobby, how tough was it for you to come up

00:03:07.300 --> 00:03:09.599
with a bank of songs to choose from tonight?

00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.599
And musically speaking, because you said your

00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.199
styles and genres are kind of all over the map.

00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:19.360
How do they sit with your bank of songs? um all

00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.000
over the map sits very well with my bank of songs

00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:25.180
yeah it was uh when you posted this uh prompt

00:03:25.180 --> 00:03:27.759
on twitter kind of dropping the bait in the water

00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:29.719
and be like who'll bite and i was just like me

00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:32.759
and then about 30 seconds after you said okay

00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:35.139
let's do it i went what did i sign myself up

00:03:35.139 --> 00:03:39.180
for finding these songs like there's you know

00:03:39.180 --> 00:03:42.460
there's a group of food themed songs that we

00:03:42.460 --> 00:03:46.139
all know And then there's a giant group of food

00:03:46.139 --> 00:03:49.060
themed songs that nobody knows. And we're going

00:03:49.060 --> 00:03:51.840
to see how it goes. I'm excited because we said,

00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:54.259
like, we're not repeating artists. And I think

00:03:54.259 --> 00:03:57.560
we said we're not repeating foods. Well, I didn't

00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.400
announce that to the listeners. But yes, that

00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.219
is exactly right. Because, look, you've been

00:04:03.219 --> 00:04:05.840
on Playlist Wars several times. So I consider

00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.960
you to be, to keep in line with the show topic

00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:13.800
tonight, a, wait for it, seasoned. veteran when

00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:17.560
it comes to playlisting. That was awful. It's

00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:21.839
okay. It's fine. I'm spicy. So one song per artist

00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:25.540
or band and one song per food item. However,

00:04:25.740 --> 00:04:28.180
there could be an asterisk somewhere because

00:04:28.180 --> 00:04:32.860
certain foods lend themselves to others. So we'll

00:04:32.860 --> 00:04:35.519
see if there's minor exceptions as we move forward.

00:04:35.540 --> 00:04:37.970
I'm getting very creative. All right, well, let's

00:04:37.970 --> 00:04:40.269
get down to business tonight. As I mentioned,

00:04:40.410 --> 00:04:42.990
Bobby and I will be curating the foods of the

00:04:42.990 --> 00:04:46.189
summer cookout and barbecue mixtape. We are going

00:04:46.189 --> 00:04:48.470
to use that cassette deck approach because unfortunately,

00:04:48.550 --> 00:04:50.970
the eight track mixtape approach was just too

00:04:50.970 --> 00:04:52.769
confusing. So, yeah, we don't want to do that.

00:04:52.829 --> 00:04:57.149
Two sides, side A and side B. Bobby, as my special

00:04:57.149 --> 00:04:59.370
guest, will begin Side A with his first song

00:04:59.370 --> 00:05:01.970
choice, and then I'll add a song that I feel

00:05:01.970 --> 00:05:05.110
best follows up his choice. We'll then flip -flop

00:05:05.110 --> 00:05:08.149
choosing songs until we've mapped out 10 songs

00:05:08.149 --> 00:05:11.470
for Side A. We'll then give our mixtape a proverbial

00:05:11.470 --> 00:05:14.149
flip, and we'll map out Side B, only this time

00:05:14.149 --> 00:05:17.089
I kick things off with Bobby choosing second.

00:05:17.189 --> 00:05:20.189
Our overall goal for tonight's episode is to

00:05:20.189 --> 00:05:23.209
craft the best foods of a summer cookout and

00:05:23.209 --> 00:05:26.319
barbecue mixtape possible. Through only 20 songs.

00:05:27.220 --> 00:05:31.000
Thank God it's only 20. Through only 75 songs.

00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.360
Oh, no. That's it. We're done. At the end of

00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:36.300
the show, you can take our conversation to the

00:05:36.300 --> 00:05:40.160

booze. Now, with that being said, Bobby, I am

00:08:58.850 --> 00:09:01.070
going to officially hit the record button on

00:09:01.070 --> 00:09:03.570
this mixtape, and I would like to know which

00:09:03.570 --> 00:09:07.190
Weird Al Yankovic song you are going to use to

00:09:07.190 --> 00:09:10.669
kick off our summer cookouts and barbecue mixtape

00:09:10.669 --> 00:09:13.950
with. Not how it's working. We've been talking

00:09:13.950 --> 00:09:16.870
a lot about food, but whenever I have a cookout,

00:09:16.870 --> 00:09:20.200
equally as important is the drink. And this will

00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:22.559
be the first time, not the last time this evening,

00:09:22.659 --> 00:09:24.519
where I'm going to bend the rules just a smidgen.

00:09:24.620 --> 00:09:27.139
Just a smidgen, huh? I just want to go back for

00:09:27.139 --> 00:09:28.960
a second. Every episode when you say, let's get

00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.679
down to business, I am in my car going, to defeat

00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:35.980
the Huns. So, okay. I am going to start this

00:09:35.980 --> 00:09:40.779
barbecue playlist off with a song that I fell

00:09:40.779 --> 00:09:43.799
in love with in the summer of, it's one of the

00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:47.139
mid -aughts. If you're drinking beer or a mixed

00:09:47.139 --> 00:09:50.220
drink at one of my picnics, There's only one

00:09:50.220 --> 00:09:53.840
receptacle that you can use to drink it out of.

00:09:53.940 --> 00:09:56.840
And that would be a red solo cup by Toby Keith.

00:09:57.059 --> 00:09:59.539
All right. So we're starting off with a little

00:09:59.539 --> 00:10:03.259
country. It's a very big summer jam. It feels

00:10:03.259 --> 00:10:05.679
like a picnic song. So it's like a fake out.

00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:07.659
We're going to start off with our drinks first

00:10:07.659 --> 00:10:10.320
and go on through there. But I thought that was

00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:12.460
a good, strong way to start the playlist off.

00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:14.779
I love that song. I'm not going to lie. There

00:10:14.779 --> 00:10:16.720
was something about it the first time you heard

00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:19.240
it. It was stupid. And then you loved it. Yeah,

00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:21.100
you're like, this song sucks the first time you

00:10:21.100 --> 00:10:23.559
heard it. I was like, how the hell is this popular?

00:10:24.179 --> 00:10:27.360
100%. And then an hour later, you're sitting

00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:29.080
there singing along with it, going, we need to

00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:32.820
play that song again. It has this hook that just

00:10:32.820 --> 00:10:36.460
captures you. And yeah, it's definitely one of

00:10:36.460 --> 00:10:38.899
those songs that - It's so dumb, it's fun. Yes.

00:10:39.340 --> 00:10:41.419
It's one of those dumb, fun songs, and I love

00:10:41.419 --> 00:10:43.980
it. Wow. So you're starting off with drinks.

00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:47.840
So we need to fill that cup up. Correct. All

00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:52.220
right. And what better thing to fill up that

00:10:52.220 --> 00:10:54.460
cup with? And I'm going to, hmm, there's two

00:10:54.460 --> 00:10:56.360
different things we could fill the cup up with.

00:10:56.500 --> 00:10:58.200
Oh, there's so many things you could fill the

00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.220
cup up with. Exactly. So let's go with, hmm,

00:11:01.419 --> 00:11:05.679
sticking with country here, because I'm going

00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.679
to keep this musically themed as well as food

00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.080
themed. You have Red Solo Cup. And what do you

00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:17.279
put into that Red Solo Cup from 2005's time well

00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:22.679
wasted, Brad Paisley, Alcohol. I absolutely love

00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:27.240
that song. It's funny. It's got a kind of a bluesy

00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:30.740
country guitar riff going on. And Brad Paisley

00:11:30.740 --> 00:11:34.779
is, while a very humorous songwriter, he writes

00:11:34.779 --> 00:11:36.639
a lot of tongue in cheek stuff, very similar

00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:39.309
to the Red Solo Cup. I'd almost want to call

00:11:39.309 --> 00:11:42.830
it almost novelty -esque in lyrics. His guitar

00:11:42.830 --> 00:11:46.309
playing is some of the best country guitar work

00:11:46.309 --> 00:11:50.470
I have ever seen. He does some solos, even in

00:11:50.470 --> 00:11:53.309
alcohol, that if you really listen to it, he

00:11:53.309 --> 00:11:56.289
is on another level with the guitar. He's talented.

00:11:56.549 --> 00:12:00.230
So on top of the food themes, musically, these

00:12:00.230 --> 00:12:02.529
two songs actually work well together. So that's

00:12:02.529 --> 00:12:05.190
interesting. But I'm going to follow up Red Solo

00:12:05.190 --> 00:12:09.070
Cup. With Brad Paisley's alcohol. Man, you kept

00:12:09.070 --> 00:12:13.710
it country. Why'd you do that to me? Oh, where

00:12:13.710 --> 00:12:19.750
am I going? Do I just throw it all away and do

00:12:19.750 --> 00:12:21.970
something completely random? Yes, that's what

00:12:21.970 --> 00:12:24.149
I do. I'm glad you didn't say water, by the way.

00:12:25.669 --> 00:12:27.950
Another Brad Paisley song. I hate that song.

00:12:28.340 --> 00:12:30.200
All right. We don't want to be negative on this

00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:33.059
podcast, Bobby. All right. My brain, I knew this

00:12:33.059 --> 00:12:34.879
was going to happen to me, and it's already starting

00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:37.580
now, and we're only on track three. But my brain

00:12:37.580 --> 00:12:40.340
has a way of thinking about barbecues and cookouts.

00:12:40.779 --> 00:12:42.799
And I'm sorry I keep saying cookout and barbecue,

00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:45.600
but when Brian said barbecue, I thought low and

00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.240
slow, smoker, people from the South might get

00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.419
a little upset. So we got to say cookout as well,

00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:52.620
because I'm in New England slash tri -state,

00:12:52.659 --> 00:12:55.340
and we do cookouts. We call them barbecues because

00:12:55.340 --> 00:12:58.490
we're wrong. Exactly. They're not true barbecues.

00:12:58.529 --> 00:13:00.730
So when you come to my house, you grab a drink.

00:13:00.809 --> 00:13:03.049
The next thing you're going to see is an assortment

00:13:03.049 --> 00:13:05.049
of foods on the table to help yourself while

00:13:05.049 --> 00:13:08.330
I stressfully cook things and get drunk. One

00:13:08.330 --> 00:13:11.370
of those things you're going to see, and it's

00:13:11.370 --> 00:13:13.610
probably multiple, but you're going to see about

00:13:13.610 --> 00:13:15.590
three or four different bowls full of chips.

00:13:15.990 --> 00:13:18.590
You got to have the chips. And what do you eat

00:13:18.590 --> 00:13:22.370
with chips, Brian? Salsa. Dip. We're going freak

00:13:22.370 --> 00:13:27.340
nasty to dip. for track number three. We're taking

00:13:27.340 --> 00:13:31.440
a right turn, baby. Track three, crashing into

00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:34.879
the wall. Freak Nasty's the tip. Something tells

00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:38.139
me that's not the dip that Mr. Nasty had in mind.

00:13:38.139 --> 00:13:42.100
Listen, buddy. Doesn't matter. I told you. I'm

00:13:42.100 --> 00:13:44.259
bending the rules tonight. This song is about

00:13:44.259 --> 00:13:47.320
chips and dip for this playlist. All right. Well,

00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:51.840
I am going to feed right into that dip and stick

00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:56.169
with the appetizers then. OK, so right next to

00:13:56.169 --> 00:14:00.789
the dip, depending on where you are. Yeah, I'm

00:14:00.789 --> 00:14:02.629
just going to go there because no one's played

00:14:02.629 --> 00:14:04.649
the weird out card yet. I'm playing the weird

00:14:04.649 --> 00:14:08.450
out card right now. Love it. And I come from

00:14:08.450 --> 00:14:12.769
a very Italian family and one of the very Italian

00:14:12.769 --> 00:14:16.549
appetizer dishes. We were actually just talking

00:14:16.549 --> 00:14:18.429
about this this weekend when I got together with

00:14:18.429 --> 00:14:20.899
my family because. Every Thanksgiving, while

00:14:20.899 --> 00:14:23.399
not a cookout, it was a holiday. But every Thanksgiving,

00:14:23.620 --> 00:14:27.240
my uncle would make lasagnas all morning and

00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:29.580
everybody would have lasagna at one o 'clock

00:14:29.580 --> 00:14:31.500
and then you'd have Thanksgiving dinner at five

00:14:31.500 --> 00:14:35.379
o 'clock. And I, to this day, do not remember

00:14:35.379 --> 00:14:38.019
eating turkey on Thanksgiving because I was so

00:14:38.019 --> 00:14:41.340
full from the lasagna. So I am going to go from

00:14:41.340 --> 00:14:45.379
1988's even worse with Weird Al Yankovic and

00:14:45.379 --> 00:14:48.120
lasagna, even though we're talking appetizers

00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:51.529
here. I don't know if you're Italian, Bobby.

00:14:51.649 --> 00:14:54.190
I married one. There you go. I don't want to

00:14:54.190 --> 00:14:56.370
stereotype in any way, shape or form. But so

00:14:56.370 --> 00:15:00.309
I will say this in my Italian family, when you

00:15:00.309 --> 00:15:03.830
go over there, the appetizers could feed a small

00:15:03.830 --> 00:15:07.889
army and you really have to pace yourself because

00:15:07.889 --> 00:15:11.389
you could legitimately get the meat sweats prior

00:15:11.389 --> 00:15:15.139
to any actual meal getting served. So using that

00:15:15.139 --> 00:15:17.279
logic, I'm going to make everybody ridiculously

00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:21.159
full very early in the day and send you back

00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:25.139
with a interesting song to bounce off of. I'm

00:15:25.139 --> 00:15:27.159
off -roading, sir. You don't need to worry about

00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:29.279
me. You don't need to worry about me. This is

00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:31.159
going to be the weirdest playlist ever created,

00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:35.649
and I love it. But about the actual music, obviously,

00:15:35.649 --> 00:15:39.889
the song is a parody of Los Lobos' cover of La

00:15:39.889 --> 00:15:42.789
Bamba because that came out in 88 around the

00:15:42.789 --> 00:15:45.210
time that Weird Al was working on the album.

00:15:45.250 --> 00:15:47.269
Obviously, it's also a cover of the original

00:15:47.269 --> 00:15:50.350
Richie Valens song, but it's actually like a

00:15:50.350 --> 00:15:53.470
second generation parody at play here, which

00:15:53.470 --> 00:15:56.590
is pretty cool. So I am going to follow up Freak

00:15:56.590 --> 00:16:00.350
Nasty's dip with Weird Al Yankovic's Lasagna.

00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:04.059
I love that Brian is sitting here like, oh God,

00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:06.019
Bobby did the dip. What are we doing? Where are

00:16:06.019 --> 00:16:09.919
we heading? Anywhere I want. I love Weird Al.

00:16:10.019 --> 00:16:12.460
I actually, I was able to see him in concert

00:16:12.460 --> 00:16:14.960
for the first time ever. I think it was right

00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.440
before COVID. And it was an absolute pleasure

00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:20.779
to see him. But we had to get him in here somewhere.

00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:23.259
You know what I mean? He has an album called

00:16:23.259 --> 00:16:25.659
The Food Album. I felt like if we didn't, we'd

00:16:25.659 --> 00:16:29.159
be doing all food music a disservice at that

00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:32.490
point. Right. Okay. All right. You know what?

00:16:32.509 --> 00:16:34.590
I like where you went here. And normally someone

00:16:34.590 --> 00:16:36.529
would be like, hmm, how can my song match that

00:16:36.529 --> 00:16:38.809
song? But I'm not doing that. I'm matching foods

00:16:38.809 --> 00:16:41.850
with you. Every summer picnic, my father -in

00:16:41.850 --> 00:16:44.629
-law owns a pizza restaurant here in Connecticut

00:16:44.629 --> 00:16:47.799
called Bobby's A Beats. which is hysterical because

00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:49.519
no one in the family is named Bobby except for

00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:51.700
the guy who married his daughter. And there's

00:16:51.700 --> 00:16:53.559
a reason I put a ring on it. The pizza is so

00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:56.940
dang good. But every summer picnic he goes to,

00:16:57.019 --> 00:17:00.460
he brings grillable pizzas. Oh, and it's like

00:17:00.460 --> 00:17:02.879
the best. It's the best because, you know, you

00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:05.180
go and you got your burgers and dogs and whatnot.

00:17:05.259 --> 00:17:09.180
But like grillable pizzas are such a cool idea.

00:17:09.420 --> 00:17:12.619
And it's a good bridge from like appetizer to

00:17:12.619 --> 00:17:15.240
almost get into like the main. Especially when

00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:18.339
you've got a cup full of booze. So I didn't pick

00:17:18.339 --> 00:17:22.000
a typical pizza song. I picked a song that has

00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:25.359
pizza throughout all of its lyrics. I don't remember

00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:27.279
what year it's from, but it's from System of

00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:29.460
a Down, Steal This Album, and it's Chicken Stew.

00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:32.180
Pepperoni and green peppers, mushrooms, olives,

00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:36.200
chives. That song always gets me bopping, and

00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:38.299
for some reason it gets me hungry. It's all about

00:17:38.299 --> 00:17:41.099
pizza. So that's going to be our pizza song for

00:17:41.099 --> 00:17:44.720
my grilled pizza. Which takes the Aquabats pizza

00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:48.859
day off my list. Sorry. No, it's okay. I totally

00:17:48.859 --> 00:17:53.380
get it. I totally get it. Love, obviously, grillable

00:17:53.380 --> 00:17:55.599
pizzas. That's a new thing. When I play venues

00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:58.380
now, I play a lot of wineries when I do my live

00:17:58.380 --> 00:18:00.220
music, and they always bring the food trucks

00:18:00.220 --> 00:18:02.180
in. And one of the biggest crazes, especially

00:18:02.180 --> 00:18:06.259
around New Jersey, are these pizza trucks that

00:18:06.259 --> 00:18:09.160
go around. And some of them are done. On the

00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:11.599
grill and they're like totally different vibe

00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:18.660
going on there. So love that song. Hmm. Scrolling

00:18:18.660 --> 00:18:23.079
through my list here. All right. I see your chicken

00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:27.039
stew and raise you. Yeah, I take it now. We're

00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:29.700
kind of headed towards the main meal at this

00:18:29.700 --> 00:18:31.420
point. We're getting there. We're getting there.

00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:37.400
So depending on the amount of money you spend.

00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:41.279
For this cookout, this might be something you

00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:43.839
would put on the grillable pizzas. This might

00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:45.980
be something you have on the side of the grillable

00:18:45.980 --> 00:18:50.059
pizzas. But regardless, there is no better song

00:18:50.059 --> 00:18:52.460
to come out of System of a Down's Chicken Stew

00:18:52.460 --> 00:18:57.420
than with the opening guitar riff of B -52's

00:18:57.420 --> 00:19:01.619
Rock Lobster. Yeah. Obviously, it's not a metal

00:19:01.619 --> 00:19:03.259
slug in any way, shape or form. We are going

00:19:03.259 --> 00:19:06.079
purely on a food level here, but I've seen lobster

00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:09.660
on top of pizzas. I've seen lobsters on the side,

00:19:09.700 --> 00:19:12.160
depending on what type of cookout you're at.

00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:15.720
So I feel like that follows up the pizza very

00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:18.740
well from a menu perspective. Yeah. And I mean,

00:19:18.779 --> 00:19:21.599
I know it's weird to hear, but like at the picnics

00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:24.329
I've been to. If you have shellfish, if you're

00:19:24.329 --> 00:19:26.630
lucky enough to go... Every year when I grew

00:19:26.630 --> 00:19:28.910
up, my neighbors up the street worked for one

00:19:28.910 --> 00:19:31.109
of the biggest Northeastern lobster companies

00:19:31.109 --> 00:19:34.950
in the region. Okay. So, like, steamers and lobsters

00:19:34.950 --> 00:19:37.369
every Fourth of July picnic. And they always

00:19:37.369 --> 00:19:39.650
came out before the burgers. It made no sense,

00:19:39.730 --> 00:19:41.849
but... You know what? Chronologically, we're

00:19:41.849 --> 00:19:44.950
getting it. Yes, certainly. And for the actual

00:19:44.950 --> 00:19:48.410
song perspective here, Rock Lobster was originally

00:19:48.410 --> 00:19:52.890
released as a single in 1978 and then re -recorded

00:19:52.890 --> 00:19:55.269
a year later for the band's self -titled album.

00:19:55.470 --> 00:19:57.470
So if you go back and listen to the original

00:19:57.470 --> 00:20:00.349
single recording, it's a lot more raw than the

00:20:00.349 --> 00:20:02.470
version you're used to hearing, but it still

00:20:02.470 --> 00:20:05.630
holds that, I guess you would call it iconic

00:20:05.630 --> 00:20:09.380
B -52. They have a sound all of their own. And

00:20:09.380 --> 00:20:11.319
I think that's amazing that they were able to,

00:20:11.339 --> 00:20:14.500
again, using the food reference here, carve out

00:20:14.500 --> 00:20:18.500
their niche musically. So, yeah, this is definitely

00:20:18.500 --> 00:20:23.039
a musical skewer going all over the map here.

00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:27.140
That wasn't the theme. Exactly. From a food perspective,

00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:30.460
these songs pair well together. Yes. And you

00:20:30.460 --> 00:20:33.180
know what? I like using Rock Lobster because

00:20:33.180 --> 00:20:36.960
it has almost like a surf rock vibe to it. So

00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:39.339
it feels like a summer jam. You know what I mean?

00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:42.700
It fits to what we're doing. Yeah. I love that.

00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:45.240
Take that off my list. See, I have some of these

00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:50.279
songs on here. Yeah. All right. Where do I want

00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:53.859
to go? Do I want to refill our drink? Or do I

00:20:53.859 --> 00:20:56.240
want to get my really wonky song out of the way

00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:58.839
because I'm an idiot and I can't wait? Let's

00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:01.859
do that. All right. I'm an idiot. And this is

00:21:01.859 --> 00:21:05.160
100 % proof. Brian, I'm sorry if people start

00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:07.200
commenting on how much of an idiot I am and how

00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:11.619
I'm ruining this playlist. Every summer picnic

00:21:11.619 --> 00:21:13.900
I go to, my favorite dish, and this is weird

00:21:13.900 --> 00:21:16.319
coming from a fat kid, but my favorite dish is

00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:19.319
the fresh fruit. Nothing beats a good fruit salad.

00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:21.900
I like a fruit salad better than fruit platter.

00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:24.740
If you go out to a store and grab a fruit platter

00:21:24.740 --> 00:21:27.539
like Bravo, like good on you. But they put some

00:21:27.539 --> 00:21:30.059
stuff in the fruit or rinse it with stuff that

00:21:30.059 --> 00:21:32.279
makes it last longer, which kind of messes with

00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:34.140
the taste. There's nothing better than a homemade

00:21:34.140 --> 00:21:37.460
fruit salad. And the first song, I don't know

00:21:37.460 --> 00:21:39.900
why, but maybe because of our first playlist

00:21:39.900 --> 00:21:42.680
wars together. But the first song that popped

00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:45.460
into my head was a crossover between The Wiggles

00:21:45.460 --> 00:21:50.740
and Slipknot. And it's called Psycho Salad. It's

00:21:50.740 --> 00:21:55.960
The Wiggles fruit salad and Slipknot's psychosocial.

00:21:58.519 --> 00:22:01.920
and it's one of my favorite crossovers ever and

00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:05.039
uh it belongs in this playlist because i'm here

00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:07.700
and having a good time and drinking 99 black

00:22:07.700 --> 00:22:11.789
cherry with you so Psycho Salad by The Wiggles

00:22:11.789 --> 00:22:15.210
featuring Slipknot is our next chorus here on

00:22:15.210 --> 00:22:18.210
this podcast. I'm going to go out on a wild limb

00:22:18.210 --> 00:22:21.609
here and assume that this song is not on Spotify.

00:22:21.730 --> 00:22:24.470
That is the one song I picked that is not on

00:22:24.470 --> 00:22:26.970
Spotify, correct. And I will have to pivot and

00:22:26.970 --> 00:22:31.910
put the video from YouTube. Psycho. I haven't

00:22:31.910 --> 00:22:34.849
heard this, but having children, I know both

00:22:34.849 --> 00:22:37.289
songs, and I honestly... When we're done recording,

00:22:37.490 --> 00:22:40.089
I want to watch you listen to this song. I cannot

00:22:40.089 --> 00:22:44.809
wait. That is absolutely amazing. I love mashups,

00:22:44.829 --> 00:22:47.869
especially when they're like the more ridiculous,

00:22:47.930 --> 00:22:50.670
the better. Yeah. And there was one recently

00:22:50.670 --> 00:22:54.650
that was so well done. I was Metallica and men

00:22:54.650 --> 00:22:57.470
at work down under. It was just unbelievably

00:22:57.470 --> 00:23:00.970
well done. So you had me at mashup. I love it.

00:23:01.029 --> 00:23:03.269
But the fact that you went with the wiggles,

00:23:03.329 --> 00:23:06.990
I couldn't help myself. This is fantastic. Hmm.

00:23:09.080 --> 00:23:11.740
And I love throwing curveballs at you, Brian.

00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:16.339
Yeah, yeah. This isn't only an exercise in trying

00:23:16.339 --> 00:23:20.480
to complete a playlist that's not music heavy.

00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:22.619
Well, I mean, it's all music, but it's not based

00:23:22.619 --> 00:23:25.500
on music. It's also an exercise in you trying

00:23:25.500 --> 00:23:29.339
to get out of my way and then bring me back.

00:23:29.619 --> 00:23:32.859
I am going to steer right into your psycho salad,

00:23:33.140 --> 00:23:37.299
however. Yes. All right. Because. I know the

00:23:37.299 --> 00:23:39.240
perfect song to follow it up with. And you're

00:23:39.240 --> 00:23:41.539
going to think when I say the name of this song

00:23:41.539 --> 00:23:46.279
that I'm taking a ton of food off of our playlist.

00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:49.019
But here's where the asterisk comes in. Because

00:23:49.019 --> 00:23:54.299
this song is specifically about one type of food.

00:23:54.579 --> 00:23:56.539
But when you hear it, you're going to think,

00:23:56.539 --> 00:23:58.220
oh, it's about a lot of different types of food

00:23:58.220 --> 00:24:00.180
depending on the part of the country you're in.

00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:04.579
If you're in the South, this means one type of

00:24:04.579 --> 00:24:07.500
food. If you're in the North, this means the

00:24:07.500 --> 00:24:10.180
event that's happening. And the song is called

00:24:10.180 --> 00:24:12.980
Barbecue. You're going to take my closing song

00:24:12.980 --> 00:24:15.539
away from me, aren't you? I am going with Paul

00:24:15.539 --> 00:24:20.589
Williams. No! From Evan Otter's Jug Band Christmas.

00:24:20.869 --> 00:24:23.849
Why would you do that to me? Because that's the

00:24:23.849 --> 00:24:26.349
main course. The sauce Mama makes just stays

00:24:26.349 --> 00:24:28.410
there forever if you dare to get it under your

00:24:28.410 --> 00:24:31.269
nails. And coming out of the Wiggles, what am

00:24:31.269 --> 00:24:34.710
I supposed to do? I had the lyrics up and everything.

00:24:36.369 --> 00:24:38.750
I was going to close the playlist with that song.

00:24:38.930 --> 00:24:40.750
I'm like, Brian's going to love me. He loves

00:24:40.750 --> 00:24:45.470
this movie. Now I'm screwed. All kidding aside,

00:24:45.710 --> 00:24:48.329
Paul Williams, such an amazing songwriter, wrote

00:24:48.329 --> 00:24:50.910
my favorite song of all time, which is Rainbow

00:24:50.910 --> 00:24:53.269
Connection. Emmett Otter's Jug Band Christmas

00:24:53.269 --> 00:24:57.309
is my favorite Christmas special. We watch it

00:24:57.309 --> 00:25:00.230
every year with the kids on Christmas Eve. I

00:25:00.230 --> 00:25:03.569
have the soundtrack. And this song, besides it

00:25:03.569 --> 00:25:08.650
being created for the Muppets, is still a fantastic

00:25:08.650 --> 00:25:12.029
song, irregardless of who's singing it. It is

00:25:12.029 --> 00:25:15.579
a fantastic. And I'll tell you this story. When

00:25:15.579 --> 00:25:18.039
I first moved to North Carolina for college back

00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:21.240
in the 90s, two of my good friends said to me,

00:25:21.380 --> 00:25:23.299
Brian, we're going to take you out for barbecue.

00:25:23.900 --> 00:25:27.700
Okay. And in my brain, being from New Jersey,

00:25:27.779 --> 00:25:31.019
I'm thinking hamburgers and hot dogs. So we pull

00:25:31.019 --> 00:25:33.019
in. Now in North Carolina, anyone who's from

00:25:33.019 --> 00:25:34.839
the South listening knows exactly where we're

00:25:34.839 --> 00:25:36.960
going with this. I look at the menu and I look

00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:39.640
at them and I say, where are the hamburgers and

00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:42.660
the hot dogs? And they said. We're taking you

00:25:42.660 --> 00:25:45.740
for barbecue. I said, that's where the hamburgers

00:25:45.740 --> 00:25:47.720
and hot dogs are, right? That's the barbecue.

00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:52.539
No, Brian, we're talking about real barbecue.

00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:56.940
And I had my first ever taste of real Southern

00:25:56.940 --> 00:26:00.000
barbecue. And it changed my world. It rocked

00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:03.240
my world, man. I'd never had that before. Straight

00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:06.740
where it's made with love. Low and slow, baby.

00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:10.660
Yeah. They serve. Barbecue and coleslaw and cheer

00:26:10.660 --> 00:26:14.400
wine. And that was about it. And it was so perfect

00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:19.259
to me. It went from becoming the event to a food.

00:26:20.079 --> 00:26:23.259
So unfortunately, I stole your closer. It's OK.

00:26:23.380 --> 00:26:26.359
But Paul Williams barbecue. Same wavelength.

00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:29.579
It's just a fabulous song. I love that show.

00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:33.039
Well, I'm sorry. Movie. I saw the live show and

00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:34.799
it blew my mind. And I can't believe it didn't

00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:36.859
end up on Broadway because that's how good it

00:26:36.859 --> 00:26:39.240
was. It was just. They had some of the original

00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:41.759
puppets, like what's the circus? I can't remember.

00:26:41.819 --> 00:26:43.319
Was it the squirrels that do the circus? The

00:26:43.319 --> 00:26:45.599
squirrels, yes. Yeah. Those were puppets. And

00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:48.339
like when Ma, Otter, and Emmett were in the boat,

00:26:48.460 --> 00:26:50.839
it was the puppets from the movie. Wow. And then

00:26:50.839 --> 00:26:53.019
when they came out on stage in like full makeup

00:26:53.019 --> 00:26:55.940
and costume, and it was gorgeous. That's so funny.

00:26:56.019 --> 00:26:58.140
Right when you said it's an event or a food,

00:26:58.240 --> 00:26:59.759
I was like, he's going to take my clothes off.

00:27:00.779 --> 00:27:03.039
It's all right. I got like 12 more songs to figure

00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:05.700
out what I'll close up with. It's an awesome

00:27:05.700 --> 00:27:07.930
pick, though. Listening to you and listening

00:27:07.930 --> 00:27:09.690
to how much love you have for this movie makes

00:27:09.690 --> 00:27:12.529
me happy because not a lot of people are on the

00:27:12.529 --> 00:27:15.569
Emmett Otter bandwagon. Every year I go on a

00:27:15.569 --> 00:27:18.569
crusade to try to get more people to understand

00:27:18.569 --> 00:27:21.509
the brilliance that Jim Henson brought to that.

00:27:21.529 --> 00:27:24.869
It's the gift of the Magi. It's a classic retelling.

00:27:27.210 --> 00:27:30.349
All right. Where are we? Eight, nine? We're at

00:27:30.349 --> 00:27:32.410
nine right now. So this is your last track for

00:27:32.410 --> 00:27:35.140
Side A. Okay, I mean, you brought out the barbecue,

00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:37.880
so I guess we're safe to come start getting some

00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:41.480
main sides and main dishes in here. So I'm going

00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:47.079
to go with one of my favorite songs by a band

00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:51.920
that I really do love. And I will be one of the

00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:54.599
first ones to say that I think that the Red album

00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:57.740
might be their best album. I'm going with Pork

00:27:57.740 --> 00:28:01.420
and Beans by Weezer. Awesome. I love this song.

00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:05.809
I love this album. It's a bop. And as a side,

00:28:05.990 --> 00:28:08.309
you got to go with the beans with the bacon in

00:28:08.309 --> 00:28:10.609
it. I know they're singing about the candy. No

00:28:10.609 --> 00:28:12.690
one cares about the candy. I'm going with the

00:28:12.690 --> 00:28:15.930
barbecue side dish. So pork and beans, Weezer.

00:28:16.630 --> 00:28:19.930
Absolutely love it. But that kills me because

00:28:19.930 --> 00:28:24.490
I had that song on my list for one, but it double

00:28:24.490 --> 00:28:27.809
kills me because I also had Southern Culture

00:28:27.809 --> 00:28:31.259
on the skids. too much pork for just one fork

00:28:31.259 --> 00:28:35.180
on my list. Yeah. So that might be a gray area,

00:28:35.220 --> 00:28:38.920
but I won't, I won't, I won't. So I love that

00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:42.119
song so much. The red album is fantastic. Yeah.

00:28:42.420 --> 00:28:46.180
Troublemaker is a great opening. Definitely one

00:28:46.180 --> 00:28:48.299
of their more underrated color albums. Cause

00:28:48.299 --> 00:28:50.519
when you think about the color albums, most people

00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:53.359
automatically say blue is the first one. Yep.

00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:57.099
Green being second. Yeah. And then I almost feel

00:28:57.099 --> 00:29:01.119
like. Red would probably be third. And then obviously

00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:03.079
we're not talking about the other albums because

00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:05.599
Pinkerton people would be throwing in either

00:29:05.599 --> 00:29:08.359
one or two, depending on where. Or the bottom,

00:29:08.460 --> 00:29:10.859
depending on who they are. Exactly, exactly.

00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:13.220
But then you have the black album, the white

00:29:13.220 --> 00:29:16.299
album. And no one counts the teal album. I have

00:29:16.299 --> 00:29:19.339
the teal on CD. No, I have it. It's a covers

00:29:19.339 --> 00:29:22.839
album, so it's its own special thing. Yeah. When

00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:25.319
they put out the teal album. They kind of missed

00:29:25.319 --> 00:29:26.960
an opportunity here. They should have called

00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:29.720
it the plaid album and had just a bunch of colors

00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:31.900
behind them because it was cover songs. Right.

00:29:31.980 --> 00:29:34.240
I thought maybe like having all the different

00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:37.400
colors in kind of showing a mix of everything

00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:40.019
because that's kind of where thematically the

00:29:40.019 --> 00:29:41.960
teal album went. But we're not even talking about

00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:44.480
Weezer here. We're talking about pork and beans.

00:29:44.660 --> 00:29:48.640
Pork and beans. All right. Closing out side A.

00:29:48.819 --> 00:29:51.259
I know I'm probably stealing one from you here.

00:29:51.849 --> 00:29:54.049
And this is something we have talked about before

00:29:54.049 --> 00:29:56.529
because you were on the Zach Brown Band episode

00:29:56.529 --> 00:30:00.210
of Playlist Wars closing out a side because this

00:30:00.210 --> 00:30:02.410
is the one time I get to close out a side. I'm

00:30:02.410 --> 00:30:05.470
trying to think of both food for our playlist

00:30:05.470 --> 00:30:08.789
and then musically what really closes out a side

00:30:08.789 --> 00:30:11.750
well. And Chicken Fried to me is the perfect

00:30:11.750 --> 00:30:14.670
song to do both because when you see Zach Brown

00:30:14.670 --> 00:30:16.910
Band live, they always close with this song.

00:30:17.130 --> 00:30:20.430
We started on kind of a country niche. And we

00:30:20.430 --> 00:30:22.609
kind of went off into all these different directions.

00:30:22.630 --> 00:30:24.549
And I feel like we're bringing it back to country.

00:30:25.170 --> 00:30:27.630
So it kind of keeps that circle going. So maybe

00:30:27.630 --> 00:30:30.150
everything in the middle, we went from A to Z,

00:30:30.289 --> 00:30:32.950
but somehow we got numbers involved in there.

00:30:33.369 --> 00:30:35.869
But we still got there. And that's the important

00:30:35.869 --> 00:30:40.670
part. And regardless of that, musically, 2008's

00:30:40.670 --> 00:30:42.930
Foundation is one of the best country albums

00:30:42.930 --> 00:30:45.730
of the 2000s, of the aughts, if you want to call

00:30:45.730 --> 00:30:50.500
it that. And Chicken Fried is a... Country anthem.

00:30:50.599 --> 00:30:53.640
So great way to close the side. Great song. And

00:30:53.640 --> 00:30:56.500
honestly, fried chicken at a cookout. That's

00:30:56.500 --> 00:31:00.500
a staple. Sign me up. I like it. And I love that

00:31:00.500 --> 00:31:03.079
song. We've talked about it on the playlist wars,

00:31:03.180 --> 00:31:05.960
but it's a fabulous song. Zach Brown band is

00:31:05.960 --> 00:31:10.599
they stand out amongst new country artists. And

00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:12.200
that's another one, even though we're not going

00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:14.519
for it. we keep finding ourselves sitting here

00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:15.900
and going, that's a really good summer song.

00:31:16.019 --> 00:31:18.259
And it is. It's a fabulous summer song. Exactly.

00:31:18.500 --> 00:31:21.859
It fits in in so many different ways. Good choice.

00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:25.339
I agree. With that, mixtapers, we conclude side

00:31:25.339 --> 00:31:28.880
A of our foods of a summer cookout or barbecue

00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:32.539
mixtape, which consists of Toby Keith's Red Solo

00:31:32.539 --> 00:31:37.099
Cup, Brad Paisley's Alcohol, Freak Nasty's Dip,

00:31:37.619 --> 00:31:41.299
Weird Al Yankovic's Lasagna, System of a Down's

00:31:41.299 --> 00:31:46.359
Chicken Stew, B -52's Rock Lobster, the Wiggles

00:31:46.359 --> 00:31:51.779
and Slipknot's Psycho Salad, Paul Williams' Barbecue,

00:31:52.180 --> 00:31:55.859
Weezer's Pork and Beans, and Zach Brown Band's

00:31:55.859 --> 00:31:58.980
Chicken Fried. Head over to myweeklymixtape .com

00:31:58.980 --> 00:32:01.440
to hear all the songs we've discussed in this

00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:04.980
mix through the playlist embedded on the episode

00:32:04.980 --> 00:32:07.799
page. Now, Bobby, I don't know about you, but

00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:11.730
besides being slightly hungry right now. I think

00:32:11.730 --> 00:32:13.809
if nothing else, we're at least putting together

00:32:13.809 --> 00:32:16.650
a great menu for people to work off of. That

00:32:16.650 --> 00:32:18.630
was the point, people. Don't get mad at me. That

00:32:18.630 --> 00:32:23.230
was the point. How are you feeling at the halfway

00:32:23.230 --> 00:32:26.269
mark of this mixtape? I feel great. I got a Wiggle

00:32:26.269 --> 00:32:28.809
Slipknot song in here. We're doing great. I'm

00:32:28.809 --> 00:32:31.930
excited. Well, before we flip things over and

00:32:31.930 --> 00:32:34.410
head over to Side B, why don't you tell people

00:32:34.410 --> 00:32:38.119
a little bit about the FN Cultured podcast? FN

00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:41.160
Cultured. We started a couple of years ago. We

00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:46.759
have 160 plus episodes out there. It's a conversational

00:32:46.759 --> 00:32:49.960
pop culture comedy podcast, I guess is the best

00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:53.119
way to put it. There's four of us. We have guest

00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:57.000
hosts on often from different shows. We talk

00:32:57.000 --> 00:32:59.319
about current events, pop culture, movies, video

00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:02.380
games. Very not safe for work. Don't listen to

00:33:02.380 --> 00:33:04.299
it on your speakers at work. Have your earphones

00:33:04.299 --> 00:33:07.579
in. It's a lot of fun. We have special episodes

00:33:07.579 --> 00:33:11.039
twice a year. We do roasts where we do like the

00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:13.839
Comedy Central roasts, but we throw usually fictional

00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:15.720
characters up there. So the last one we did was

00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:18.000
Mario to have fun with the Super Mario movie.

00:33:18.440 --> 00:33:21.420
Once a month, we do an episode called Fermented

00:33:21.420 --> 00:33:24.740
Fruit where we get drunk and review movies that

00:33:24.740 --> 00:33:28.420
are rated as rotten on Rotten Tomatoes. The last

00:33:28.420 --> 00:33:30.680
one to come out was Good Burger because they

00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:33.359
announced the second one being made for Paramount+.

00:33:34.419 --> 00:33:37.900
Spoilers, that movie is terrible. Nostalgia is

00:33:37.900 --> 00:33:40.619
a heck of a drug, folks. Other than that, we

00:33:40.619 --> 00:33:42.640
play games and have a good time. We've been doing

00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:45.500
it for just over two years now. We just celebrated

00:33:45.500 --> 00:33:48.420
our two -year anniversary. Yeah, so it's been

00:33:48.420 --> 00:33:50.940
a good time. It's a hysterical show. I highly

00:33:50.940 --> 00:33:52.900
recommend listening to it, but I will agree it

00:33:52.900 --> 00:33:55.920
is definitely a not -safe -for -work listen,

00:33:56.099 --> 00:33:58.539
so make sure you have those earbuds in when you

00:33:58.539 --> 00:34:01.900
tune in to FM Cultured. We are now about to kick

00:34:01.900 --> 00:34:05.220
things off for side B. And on this side, I get

00:34:05.220 --> 00:34:07.819
to start things off. But we are still moving

00:34:07.819 --> 00:34:11.539
through our barbecue right now. And I feel like

00:34:11.539 --> 00:34:16.579
we ended with chicken fried for side A. And I

00:34:16.579 --> 00:34:19.639
want to start side B off with a staple. But I

00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:21.880
also want to start off side B with a good song.

00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:25.519
Something that covers both ends of the spectrum

00:34:25.519 --> 00:34:28.800
here. And I think I could do that. By visiting

00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:32.099
1979's In Through the Outdoor and the mighty

00:34:32.099 --> 00:34:36.480
Led Zeppelin, what barbecue can you have without

00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:39.880
a hot dog? And that is one of them. And while

00:34:39.880 --> 00:34:43.679
this is truly a Led Zeppelin song. It's not your

00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:46.820
typical Zeppelin blues rock. This is a bar room

00:34:46.820 --> 00:34:51.440
country rock stomper with some unbelievable honky

00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:55.119
tonk piano playing from John Paul Jones. So musically

00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:57.179
for Led Zeppelin, it is a little bit of a left

00:34:57.179 --> 00:35:01.960
turn. But as a song, it's still absolutely incredible.

00:35:02.380 --> 00:35:05.960
I also had Limp Bizkit's Hot Dog on my list.

00:35:06.159 --> 00:35:09.679
But when I thought about which song truly was

00:35:09.679 --> 00:35:13.659
better, I mean. Led Zeppelin or the song that

00:35:13.659 --> 00:35:16.480
proudly states that they say the F word 50 some

00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:19.340
odd times. I think Zeppelin is the right choice.

00:35:19.500 --> 00:35:21.099
Yeah, I know there's some people out there that

00:35:21.099 --> 00:35:22.980
are going to be very angry that I didn't go with

00:35:22.980 --> 00:35:25.880
Limp Bizkit's Hot Dog. But to me, Led Zeppelin

00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:29.219
starting off the side, even though Limp Bizkit's

00:35:29.219 --> 00:35:31.619
Hot Dog kicked off the chocolate starfish and

00:35:31.619 --> 00:35:35.280
hot dog flavored water album. So no disrespect

00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:38.340
there. I just feel like Led Zeppelin is fits

00:35:38.340 --> 00:35:40.619
a little bit more with where we're heading tonight.

00:35:41.150 --> 00:35:45.489
But I do want to say hot dogs are not the same

00:35:45.489 --> 00:35:48.829
as pork and beans. Right. This is the asterisk

00:35:48.829 --> 00:35:52.630
here. They're kind of the same food. In my pork

00:35:52.630 --> 00:35:55.090
and beans, you're getting bacon or belly. You're

00:35:55.090 --> 00:35:57.389
not getting hot dogs. Okay. This is a classy

00:35:57.389 --> 00:35:59.889
cookout. I've seen people do it with hot dogs,

00:35:59.929 --> 00:36:02.769
but I felt the asterisk was the bacon and the

00:36:02.769 --> 00:36:05.530
pork belly. Because when I think of what a hot

00:36:05.530 --> 00:36:07.510
dog is made of, I think of the great outdoors.

00:36:07.590 --> 00:36:09.230
And I'll just leave it at that. If you've seen

00:36:09.230 --> 00:36:12.519
the movie. You know the definition. Yeah, that's

00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:16.099
a fabulous pick. And lucky for you people, because

00:36:16.099 --> 00:36:18.079
if I chose hot dog, it would have been they might

00:36:18.079 --> 00:36:20.400
be giants from the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Oh,

00:36:20.639 --> 00:36:23.800
I forgot about that one. My kids are a little

00:36:23.800 --> 00:36:27.239
older. That kind of hot dog. Yeah. Oh, my God.

00:36:27.260 --> 00:36:28.980
You have no idea how many times I've done the

00:36:28.980 --> 00:36:31.239
hot dog dance. Yeah, yeah. My two year old is

00:36:31.239 --> 00:36:33.599
obsessed. Of course. If you haven't heard it

00:36:33.599 --> 00:36:37.099
for this episode, I was looking Nathaniel Rateliff

00:36:37.099 --> 00:36:40.070
in the night sweats. They released a special

00:36:40.070 --> 00:36:44.170
album for Record Store Day, and it had a track

00:36:44.170 --> 00:36:45.989
on there called Hot Dog, and it's an instrumental,

00:36:46.190 --> 00:36:49.630
and it's just the Night Sweats jamming for like

00:36:49.630 --> 00:36:52.510
nine minutes, and it's awesome. I absolutely

00:36:52.510 --> 00:36:55.090
love Nathaniel Ray living the Night Sweats. I

00:36:55.090 --> 00:36:58.050
saw him live at Farm Aid, and he was amazing.

00:36:58.269 --> 00:37:01.590
Yeah, that band is just unbelievable. All right.

00:37:02.250 --> 00:37:06.929
Hot Dog. Hot Dog, Hot Dog, Hot Dog. All right.

00:37:06.949 --> 00:37:08.630
Speaking of instrumental, I'm going to do it

00:37:08.630 --> 00:37:12.590
because you just went with a band that has a

00:37:12.590 --> 00:37:16.630
mighty famous guitarist and licks up some great

00:37:16.630 --> 00:37:20.250
riffs. And I am also going to go with a guitarist

00:37:20.250 --> 00:37:23.369
that has famously created some fabulous stuff.

00:37:23.750 --> 00:37:27.050
And I'm picking an instrumental because why not?

00:37:27.130 --> 00:37:30.429
It's a jam. It's a really cool metal song. It's

00:37:30.429 --> 00:37:35.449
called Want Some Slaw by Buckethead. Nice. who

00:37:35.449 --> 00:37:39.030
famously joined Guns N' Roses for a hot second

00:37:39.030 --> 00:37:42.349
there when Slash wasn't with him. But Buckethead,

00:37:42.389 --> 00:37:45.489
he's kind of an incredible guitarist, and his

00:37:45.489 --> 00:37:49.670
sound is super original in his. And this instrumental,

00:37:49.889 --> 00:37:52.369
which is, again, like a nine -minute song, is

00:37:52.369 --> 00:37:56.019
just a really cool song, and I feel like... going

00:37:56.019 --> 00:37:59.320
off of that Led Zeppelin feel. It'll just transition

00:37:59.320 --> 00:38:01.400
through. See, now I'm talking music when I should

00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:04.440
be talking. Coleslaw's a delicious summer side

00:38:04.440 --> 00:38:06.920
dish, and it's really good when you put it on

00:38:06.920 --> 00:38:10.820
top of your hot dog. So Coleslaw by Buckethead

00:38:10.820 --> 00:38:13.860
is going to be my track. You are free, sir, to

00:38:13.860 --> 00:38:16.380
talk about the song as well, because at the end

00:38:16.380 --> 00:38:19.949
of the day, we are a music podcast here. Mm hmm.

00:38:19.989 --> 00:38:22.989
Yeah. So but yeah, it's a cool song. It's something

00:38:22.989 --> 00:38:26.190
different than what we've had so far on the playlist.

00:38:26.590 --> 00:38:29.170
And it reminds me like, you know, when you're

00:38:29.170 --> 00:38:31.170
playing yard games or cooking, you know, and

00:38:31.170 --> 00:38:33.349
you're not paying attention to the music, something

00:38:33.349 --> 00:38:35.130
like this can really like pique your interest

00:38:35.130 --> 00:38:36.969
and be like, I haven't heard words in a while.

00:38:37.269 --> 00:38:39.469
And this song is really cool. And I wouldn't

00:38:39.469 --> 00:38:41.309
have known about it if I wasn't looking for summer

00:38:41.309 --> 00:38:45.789
dishes on Spotify. So let me tell you this. If

00:38:45.789 --> 00:38:49.329
you go out with a name like Buckethead. And you

00:38:49.329 --> 00:38:53.949
suck on guitar. It would be like the scene in

00:38:53.949 --> 00:38:57.329
Wayne's World with the shitty Beatles. So it's

00:38:57.329 --> 00:39:00.829
not just a clever name. How are they? They suck.

00:39:01.130 --> 00:39:06.050
But the thing about Buckethead is he is otherworldly

00:39:06.050 --> 00:39:11.150
on the guitar. He is incredible, a virtuoso on

00:39:11.150 --> 00:39:15.519
the instrument. Very underrated because he's

00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:18.460
not a household name. People remember that Guns

00:39:18.460 --> 00:39:21.539
N' Roses when they were on the 2001 or 2002 MTV

00:39:21.539 --> 00:39:25.679
Music Awards when Guns N' Roses came back and

00:39:25.679 --> 00:39:27.739
Buckethead was on stage and everyone's like,

00:39:27.800 --> 00:39:29.860
who's this guy with a KFC bucket on his head?

00:39:30.500 --> 00:39:34.440
But, you know, that's not Guns N' Roses music

00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:39.150
is complex in some areas. But Buckethead's complexity

00:39:39.150 --> 00:39:42.710
is levels higher musically. It's just a different

00:39:42.710 --> 00:39:45.949
world he's in. And that's no disrespect to Guns

00:39:45.949 --> 00:39:48.730
N' Roses, who I love as a band. Right. But coming

00:39:48.730 --> 00:39:53.769
out of that, my main dish menu doesn't have anything

00:39:53.769 --> 00:39:56.929
musically that's going to fit well. So I'm going

00:39:56.929 --> 00:40:01.510
to go with food here. And look, it's a grade

00:40:01.510 --> 00:40:06.489
A meal when I'm in the mood. I am going off of

00:40:06.489 --> 00:40:09.989
1990s. Smoke them if you got them. The Reverend

00:40:09.989 --> 00:40:14.010
Horton Heats Eat Steak. Oh, man, that song is

00:40:14.010 --> 00:40:16.789
so weird, but I love it. It is ridiculously weird.

00:40:16.909 --> 00:40:20.070
It is so cool. It's just a fun song. So if you

00:40:20.070 --> 00:40:23.369
haven't heard it, it's Pun City. When was the

00:40:23.369 --> 00:40:27.469
song out? 1990. It feels like it came out like

00:40:27.469 --> 00:40:30.860
20 years before that. It doesn't feel like it's

00:40:30.860 --> 00:40:33.539
something that's, well, 30 years old. Jesus.

00:40:33.800 --> 00:40:35.780
But like, you know what I mean? Like, it feels

00:40:35.780 --> 00:40:38.659
like it could be from that classic. It's a cool

00:40:38.659 --> 00:40:41.320
song, though. I've listened to it like four times

00:40:41.320 --> 00:40:43.199
since I've started looking up stuff for this

00:40:43.199 --> 00:40:46.199
playlist. This is a good cookout. We got some

00:40:46.199 --> 00:40:48.159
good food. Got some great food. And I'll tell

00:40:48.159 --> 00:40:51.519
you what, believe it or not, musically, it might

00:40:51.519 --> 00:40:53.840
not be the most cohesive playlist we've ever

00:40:53.840 --> 00:40:56.239
put together on the show, but there hasn't been

00:40:56.239 --> 00:40:58.880
one song where I'm like, meh, that song sucks.

00:40:59.179 --> 00:41:02.920
So I'm pretty stoked about that part of it. Bobby,

00:41:03.039 --> 00:41:07.679
what are you doing? Having a good time? What

00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:15.179
do I want to do now? This is, hmm. All right.

00:41:15.820 --> 00:41:18.630
Okay. Just because of the way that the backing

00:41:18.630 --> 00:41:22.110
band in Eat Steak feels very similar to the band

00:41:22.110 --> 00:41:26.150
I'm going to choose now. And we're going to go

00:41:26.150 --> 00:41:28.730
with, I think, a staple dish, especially with

00:41:28.730 --> 00:41:31.630
barbecue. Going back to, I mean, we're jumping

00:41:31.630 --> 00:41:35.610
back and forth. But this song, my dad played

00:41:35.610 --> 00:41:39.389
for me. And because of this song, I wanted to

00:41:39.389 --> 00:41:42.269
watch the movie because I had never seen it.

00:41:42.469 --> 00:41:46.500
So I'm going with... Rubber Biscuit by the Blues

00:41:46.500 --> 00:41:50.739
Brothers. Ooh, okay. It's a cover of, I think,

00:41:50.739 --> 00:41:56.079
a 1957 song by the Chips. And it's incredible

00:41:56.079 --> 00:42:01.219
because Elwood, or Dan Aykroyd, who is usually

00:42:01.219 --> 00:42:04.340
the bass and doesn't do a lot of the front manning.

00:42:04.400 --> 00:42:08.840
It's usually Belushi's job. Belushi decides he

00:42:08.840 --> 00:42:10.619
wants a drink and says, how about we hear from

00:42:10.619 --> 00:42:13.960
Elwood? And Dan Aykroyd goes front and center.

00:42:14.510 --> 00:42:18.429
And almost the entire song is him scatting, which

00:42:18.429 --> 00:42:21.750
is incredibly difficult, especially when you're

00:42:21.750 --> 00:42:25.050
like a baritone down there. And to make it sound

00:42:25.050 --> 00:42:26.969
like you're not saying the same thing over and

00:42:26.969 --> 00:42:28.889
over again when you're just mumbling nonsense.

00:42:29.130 --> 00:42:31.650
And, you know, people like Etta James were famous

00:42:31.650 --> 00:42:34.190
for doing it, but it's Dan frickin' Aykroyd.

00:42:34.449 --> 00:42:37.929
And the whole song is basically just a poor guy

00:42:37.929 --> 00:42:41.739
complaining about how little food he has. And

00:42:41.739 --> 00:42:44.340
the jokes are perfect. I'm upset because the

00:42:44.340 --> 00:42:46.699
version I like the most is from the best of the

00:42:46.699 --> 00:42:49.539
Blues Brothers, which isn't on Spotify. But there

00:42:49.539 --> 00:42:52.619
are two other versions on Spotify that are almost

00:42:52.619 --> 00:42:55.320
as good. And the whole point is that backing

00:42:55.320 --> 00:42:57.679
band is very close to the Reverend Horton. It's

00:42:57.679 --> 00:43:00.480
got that same like driving funky kind of feel

00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:03.300
to it. And we haven't had a bread item yet. So

00:43:03.300 --> 00:43:05.980
we got to throw some biscuits in there. So Rub

00:43:05.980 --> 00:43:09.199
-A -Biscuit by Blues Brothers is my next pick.

00:43:09.769 --> 00:43:13.130
I absolutely love the Blues Brothers. We talked

00:43:13.130 --> 00:43:16.809
about them a lot during the mini movie month

00:43:16.809 --> 00:43:20.130
that I had. Those were a lot of fun. And we talk

00:43:20.130 --> 00:43:23.510
about the Blues Brothers and the Blues Brothers

00:43:23.510 --> 00:43:28.170
2000. So it's not that bad. The music is great.

00:43:28.449 --> 00:43:31.389
Yes, it is. So go back and check those out. But

00:43:31.389 --> 00:43:32.929
I know what I'm going to. You went with biscuits.

00:43:33.030 --> 00:43:36.829
I had Casey Musgraves biscuits from a few years

00:43:36.829 --> 00:43:39.010
ago in my list, which was a little bit more country.

00:43:39.739 --> 00:43:42.139
With biscuits, there's different things you might

00:43:42.139 --> 00:43:46.760
want to put on top of them. Like cheese. Sure.

00:43:47.320 --> 00:43:50.219
And some people, the kiddos, the kiddos might

00:43:50.219 --> 00:43:53.260
want to put jelly on their biscuits. Maybe. So

00:43:53.260 --> 00:43:57.260
from 1993's Transmissions from the Satellite

00:43:57.260 --> 00:44:00.199
Heart, I am going to go with the Flaming Lips,

00:44:00.280 --> 00:44:04.099
She Don't Use Jelly. Oh my goodness. As a condiment

00:44:04.099 --> 00:44:07.809
song. However, don't put Vaseline on the biscuits.

00:44:08.449 --> 00:44:10.869
Doesn't taste very good. I'm just going to go

00:44:10.869 --> 00:44:14.150
on a guess there. We talk about this song on

00:44:14.150 --> 00:44:18.190
episode 17, 90s indie alternative rock with JT

00:44:18.190 --> 00:44:21.050
from The Uninvited. So I absolutely love this

00:44:21.050 --> 00:44:24.110
song. The Flaming Lips. This came out. In 1993,

00:44:24.369 --> 00:44:26.110
and when I was living in North Carolina between

00:44:26.110 --> 00:44:29.809
95 and 97, this song was pretty much played on

00:44:29.809 --> 00:44:33.389
the hour on a station 1065 The End, alternative

00:44:33.389 --> 00:44:35.909
rock station. For some reason, the song just

00:44:35.909 --> 00:44:38.590
had a very big shelf life down there. It's a

00:44:38.590 --> 00:44:42.210
great song. It's typical Flaming Lips weirdness.

00:44:42.449 --> 00:44:44.409
And there's a lot of different things mentioned

00:44:44.409 --> 00:44:46.309
in the song. Some of them I think are food related.

00:44:46.449 --> 00:44:49.469
Some are not. So the jelly and the cheese was

00:44:49.469 --> 00:44:51.639
where I'm heading with this. But I guess you

00:44:51.639 --> 00:44:55.159
can also use butter or tangerines, which wouldn't

00:44:55.159 --> 00:44:58.099
be a condiment, but I digress. Hopefully, though,

00:44:58.119 --> 00:45:01.840
this gives you some ways you could go after my

00:45:01.840 --> 00:45:05.079
next pick, The Flaming Lips, She Don't Use Jelly.

00:45:05.619 --> 00:45:08.039
That's one of those songs. I never knew that

00:45:08.039 --> 00:45:09.760
that was The Flaming Lips or that was the name

00:45:09.760 --> 00:45:11.679
of the song. Really? But when I hear that...

00:45:12.320 --> 00:45:14.559
I'm the kind of guy that knows music just for

00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:17.159
music. I'll be that jerk that goes to the, well,

00:45:17.280 --> 00:45:19.139
what music stores are left. And I'll be like,

00:45:19.199 --> 00:45:21.019
hey, you know that song that goes like this?

00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:25.440
Or you know that song from that movie at that

00:45:25.440 --> 00:45:29.639
one point where that's, there's a song from Matilda

00:45:29.639 --> 00:45:32.079
that I used to know the title of, but now from

00:45:32.079 --> 00:45:34.960
Rusted Root. Send Me On My Way. Yep. It was on

00:45:34.960 --> 00:45:37.239
Beavis and Butthead. They did a whole segment

00:45:37.239 --> 00:45:40.590
on this song. Yeah, it's funny, but that's one

00:45:40.590 --> 00:45:43.070
of those songs. I definitely know it. I listen

00:45:43.070 --> 00:45:45.969
to music all the time, but yeah, it's She Don't

00:45:45.969 --> 00:45:48.110
Use Jelly. I love that. I was like, is he going

00:45:48.110 --> 00:45:53.690
to put Lady Marmalade on this list? Where am

00:45:53.690 --> 00:45:58.250
I going now? Where am I going? We're pretty thirsty,

00:45:58.309 --> 00:46:00.650
I think. We've only had one drink. This is a

00:46:00.650 --> 00:46:03.230
failure of a party that we're having right now.

00:46:04.070 --> 00:46:06.389
All right, I'm going to bring the tempo up. We're

00:46:06.389 --> 00:46:09.260
going to put a bop in here. Because I feel like

00:46:09.260 --> 00:46:13.659
we need to. So I am going to put in Lizzo's juice.

00:46:14.199 --> 00:46:17.639
We all know she's not talking about juice. And

00:46:17.639 --> 00:46:22.300
I went in between Snoop's gin and juice and Lizzo's

00:46:22.300 --> 00:46:25.019
juice. But I feel like with She Don't Use Jelly,

00:46:25.219 --> 00:46:27.519
it's funky. It's got that rock. And I didn't

00:46:27.519 --> 00:46:29.460
want to slow it down with gin and juice. I kind

00:46:29.460 --> 00:46:32.019
of want to get the energy back up again. And

00:46:32.019 --> 00:46:36.599
Lizzo's juice is just a good summer bop. pop

00:46:36.599 --> 00:46:39.079
song and yeah so we're gonna go with that lizzo's

00:46:39.079 --> 00:46:41.960
juice all right that's a great song it's got

00:46:41.960 --> 00:46:45.739
a little bit of that r &b vibe going there oh

00:46:45.739 --> 00:46:48.719
and we almost every single episode at this point

00:46:48.719 --> 00:46:50.980
we go we need to put a female in here somewhere

00:46:50.980 --> 00:46:54.900
so lizzo good point is coming through good point

00:46:54.900 --> 00:46:58.780
good point oh god looking at my list this is

00:46:58.780 --> 00:47:01.280
tough i could continue down the alcohol road

00:47:01.280 --> 00:47:05.909
or i could pivot towards desserts Because we're

00:47:05.909 --> 00:47:07.550
nearing the end here. So I'm going to do one

00:47:07.550 --> 00:47:11.809
that does a little bit of both. A little bit

00:47:11.809 --> 00:47:14.150
of both. Depending on where you go with this.

00:47:14.849 --> 00:47:19.130
And I am going to go off of a 2018 album of the

00:47:19.130 --> 00:47:21.329
same name. This song was originally recorded

00:47:21.329 --> 00:47:26.409
by the band Humble Pie for their 1973 album Eat

00:47:26.409 --> 00:47:28.750
It. No, that's not a Weird Al Yankovic album.

00:47:28.869 --> 00:47:32.070
I kid you not. But this is a cover of the song

00:47:32.070 --> 00:47:36.260
Black Coffee by Beth Hart. And Joe Bonamassa,

00:47:36.380 --> 00:47:42.980
an amazing singer, amazing. And you put Joe Bonamassa's

00:47:42.980 --> 00:47:47.280
killer guitar work on it. Every single cookout

00:47:47.280 --> 00:47:50.500
and barbecue I've ever been to before the desserts

00:47:50.500 --> 00:47:52.920
come out, the coffee comes a flowing because

00:47:52.920 --> 00:47:55.599
people are already nursing midday hangovers.

00:47:55.900 --> 00:47:57.960
And then the other people might want to make

00:47:57.960 --> 00:48:00.800
their black coffee, Irish coffee. and throws

00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:02.880
some little extra in it to kind of keep the party

00:48:02.880 --> 00:48:05.579
going. So it serves a two -way purpose here.

00:48:05.719 --> 00:48:08.820
It keeps the drinks flowing, but also pivots

00:48:08.820 --> 00:48:12.860
Bobby into some sort of dessert theme. Mm -hmm.

00:48:13.320 --> 00:48:16.059
What song are we at? We are now at track eight.

00:48:16.159 --> 00:48:20.119
Oh, my goodness. I've got two left. Oh, my God.

00:48:20.159 --> 00:48:23.619
Where are we going? Oh, man. I'm so excited.

00:48:23.639 --> 00:48:25.239
I don't need to put the ketchup song on here.

00:48:28.670 --> 00:48:31.469
Do I want to throw another random rap song in?

00:48:31.570 --> 00:48:34.929
No, no, let's not do that. All right, where do

00:48:34.929 --> 00:48:36.889
I want to go here? I'm going to save us all from

00:48:36.889 --> 00:48:40.869
69 Boy's Tootsie Roll, even though it would definitely

00:48:40.869 --> 00:48:45.429
tie in with... It's a great song. It is a fun

00:48:45.429 --> 00:48:47.369
song. It's one of the few dances I know how to

00:48:47.369 --> 00:48:50.469
do because they tell me what to do. Yeah, you

00:48:50.469 --> 00:48:53.309
know what? It's true. Okay, we used Led Zeppelin,

00:48:53.409 --> 00:48:58.869
so that's out. Hmm. Okay. Let's have some fun.

00:48:59.570 --> 00:49:02.829
Let's get a little punky. We're going to go with

00:49:02.829 --> 00:49:05.469
Dropkick Murphy's Mick Jones nicked my pudding.

00:49:06.030 --> 00:49:10.190
If I'm going to finish this up, we're going to

00:49:10.190 --> 00:49:13.309
finish strong. And I don't know any cookout that

00:49:13.309 --> 00:49:15.369
would have a bowl of pudding out there for people

00:49:15.369 --> 00:49:19.769
to partake in. But out of all of my dessert themed

00:49:19.769 --> 00:49:22.510
songs, I think this one's got the most drive

00:49:22.510 --> 00:49:25.190
to it. I think it keeps the party going as opposed

00:49:25.190 --> 00:49:27.960
to. You know, I've still got song 10 to kind

00:49:27.960 --> 00:49:30.960
of put like a like a little flag in the end to

00:49:30.960 --> 00:49:35.659
be like, there it is. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, no spoilers.

00:49:36.139 --> 00:49:39.079
So, yeah, we're going to start our desserts with

00:49:39.079 --> 00:49:41.820
Mick Jones nicked my pudding by the Dropkick

00:49:41.820 --> 00:49:45.699
Murphys. Love that song. Love it. I remember

00:49:45.699 --> 00:49:50.090
when they debuted it on one of their covid. live

00:49:50.090 --> 00:49:52.690
streams and i'm like this song is absolutely

00:49:52.690 --> 00:49:54.750
awesome and it's got a good sense of humor to

00:49:54.750 --> 00:49:57.269
it dropkick murphy's have a great sense of humor

00:49:57.269 --> 00:49:59.869
about a lot of their songs those covet shows

00:49:59.869 --> 00:50:01.809
were amazing unbelievable the one that they did

00:50:01.809 --> 00:50:04.969
in fenway park yeah so good i don't want to say

00:50:04.969 --> 00:50:08.210
there's a lot of great memories of the lockdown

00:50:08.210 --> 00:50:11.460
time But watching that with my kids and having

00:50:11.460 --> 00:50:13.619
them dancing around and kind of seeing them spread

00:50:13.619 --> 00:50:16.039
across Fenway, I'm a Yankee fan. And I'm like,

00:50:16.119 --> 00:50:18.820
that's frigging cool, man. That is so frigging

00:50:18.820 --> 00:50:21.960
cool. And I loved every minute of that. And it's

00:50:21.960 --> 00:50:23.760
a great song. Now, coming out of that, though,

00:50:23.880 --> 00:50:28.059
I have two songs I could go. And they're both

00:50:28.059 --> 00:50:33.480
they're they're both deserty. Actually, I have

00:50:33.480 --> 00:50:35.690
a lot of different dessert songs. Yeah. There's

00:50:35.690 --> 00:50:38.670
a lot of songs about pie and cake. Yeah. That's

00:50:38.670 --> 00:50:40.190
literally where I'm at right now. I'm choosing

00:50:40.190 --> 00:50:44.969
between cake and pie. Did you say cakes and pies?

00:50:45.170 --> 00:50:50.710
Yeah. Oh, God. You know what? Because the pie

00:50:50.710 --> 00:50:54.309
song that I have is so obscure, I'm not going

00:50:54.309 --> 00:50:56.449
to go with it. But I am going to say what it

00:50:56.449 --> 00:50:59.010
is, because if there is anybody out there that

00:50:59.010 --> 00:51:01.510
remembers this song, I would love to hear from

00:51:01.510 --> 00:51:04.909
you. So message me at myweeklymixtape at gmail

00:51:04.909 --> 00:51:08.090
.com. The song I was debating going with came

00:51:08.090 --> 00:51:12.449
out in 1991. It was by a band called White Trash.

00:51:12.989 --> 00:51:17.670
They were a funky, horn -based, almost Red Hot

00:51:17.670 --> 00:51:21.110
Chili Peppers kind of rock band. And they had

00:51:21.110 --> 00:51:26.030
a single on MTV called Apple Pie. So it was lots

00:51:26.030 --> 00:51:29.489
of horns. A guy's voice almost had a Sammy Hagar

00:51:29.489 --> 00:51:32.900
-esque growl to it. But instead of going with

00:51:32.900 --> 00:51:36.559
a Sammy Hagar as growl, I'm going to go with

00:51:36.559 --> 00:51:42.300
Sammy Hagar and Van Halen 1991 for unlawful carnal

00:51:42.300 --> 00:51:45.940
knowledge and pound cake because Eddie Van Halen

00:51:45.940 --> 00:51:48.199
is king. And if this is my last song of the night,

00:51:48.300 --> 00:51:51.739
seeing him pull out the power drill and play

00:51:51.739 --> 00:51:55.039
a guitar with it is so frigging iconic. The song

00:51:55.039 --> 00:51:59.449
rocks and it's a good deserty. type tune. I could

00:51:59.449 --> 00:52:01.869
have went with Ice Cream Man from Van Halen 1,

00:52:02.010 --> 00:52:04.809
but you already had the pudding out there. So

00:52:04.809 --> 00:52:07.150
I figured the pound cake, you could dip into

00:52:07.150 --> 00:52:10.090
the pudding if you want to be extra gluttonous,

00:52:10.130 --> 00:52:12.269
and I think they work well together. Musically,

00:52:12.309 --> 00:52:15.110
not so much, but dipping the pound cake into

00:52:15.110 --> 00:52:17.289
the pudding here. We lost musically a long time

00:52:17.289 --> 00:52:19.690
ago. We're just having a party now, Brian. Exactly.

00:52:19.730 --> 00:52:23.329
We lost music on track two. Yeah, my fault. Sorry.

00:52:23.570 --> 00:52:26.500
All good. I love that pick. Are you a Van Halen

00:52:26.500 --> 00:52:28.360
guy or a Van Hagar guy, if you had to choose?

00:52:28.559 --> 00:52:31.460
Oh God, it's so tough for me because I feel like

00:52:31.460 --> 00:52:34.440
they are two different bands. Yeah, it completely

00:52:34.440 --> 00:52:37.800
feels like it. Musically, they really sound like

00:52:37.800 --> 00:52:40.800
two different bands, except the core of Van Halen

00:52:40.800 --> 00:52:45.300
is there, the three guys. Musically, I am more

00:52:45.300 --> 00:52:50.440
of a blues rock guy at heart. So I love the David

00:52:50.440 --> 00:52:52.820
Lee Roth era, plus he was my first ever concert.

00:52:53.059 --> 00:52:57.739
But I think - But musically, the Sammy Hagar

00:52:57.739 --> 00:53:03.320
era had more singable, catchy songs. So I'm giving

00:53:03.320 --> 00:53:06.500
you the politician's non -answer. Okay, I like

00:53:06.500 --> 00:53:09.380
it. I appreciate it. If I had to choose, I would

00:53:09.380 --> 00:53:12.820
probably lean David Lee Roth, just because I

00:53:12.820 --> 00:53:15.260
love that kind of blues rock swagger that they

00:53:15.260 --> 00:53:18.619
have in a lot of the songs. But singing -wise,

00:53:18.699 --> 00:53:22.480
especially in 2023, if I had to choose, if Sammy

00:53:22.480 --> 00:53:25.110
Hagar was playing on one end of town, and David

00:53:25.110 --> 00:53:27.429
Lee Roth was playing on the other, I'd be going

00:53:27.429 --> 00:53:29.170
to the Sammy show because he still brings it

00:53:29.170 --> 00:53:32.469
live now. Yeah, yeah. As much as I love David

00:53:32.469 --> 00:53:35.030
Lee Roth, he was my first ever concert, and I

00:53:35.030 --> 00:53:37.610
have that memory. I don't know if I want to change

00:53:37.610 --> 00:53:39.789
it. That's all I'll say. The years haven't been

00:53:39.789 --> 00:53:42.030
as kind. They've been kinder to him than Vince

00:53:42.030 --> 00:53:43.949
Neil, but I don't want to go down that road.

00:53:45.889 --> 00:53:49.630
All right. So this is it, right? Yeah, this is

00:53:49.630 --> 00:53:54.679
the coup de grace, if you will. There's so many

00:53:54.679 --> 00:53:57.320
ways I can go, you know, like you gave me pound

00:53:57.320 --> 00:53:59.840
cake so I could throw strawberry fields forever

00:53:59.840 --> 00:54:01.699
in there and make it a strawberry shortcake.

00:54:01.820 --> 00:54:04.019
You know what I mean? And it would be, you know,

00:54:04.019 --> 00:54:05.800
shoving the Beatles down your throat would be

00:54:05.800 --> 00:54:08.159
lovely, but I'm not going to do it. You know

00:54:08.159 --> 00:54:13.179
what? I'm going to end on a song that we finished

00:54:13.179 --> 00:54:16.980
every frat party with when I was in college.

00:54:17.579 --> 00:54:20.219
Because I want to end on an exclamation point,

00:54:20.280 --> 00:54:23.139
and I've thrown so many curveballs tonight that

00:54:23.139 --> 00:54:26.360
I want to finish with a curveball. So we're finishing

00:54:26.360 --> 00:54:31.780
with a little song called Beer! by Psycho Stick.

00:54:32.000 --> 00:54:35.360
Yes! That's how we are closing this out. I actually

00:54:35.360 --> 00:54:41.199
love that song. I like beer. I like beer. And

00:54:41.199 --> 00:54:45.630
stuff. It's funny, which I think I've been trying

00:54:45.630 --> 00:54:48.889
to go with this entire episode. I feel like it's

00:54:48.889 --> 00:54:50.929
just random enough that it feels like the other

00:54:50.929 --> 00:54:53.449
picks that I've had tonight. And we didn't pick

00:54:53.449 --> 00:54:55.590
Cheeseburger in Paradise, so bravo to both of

00:54:55.590 --> 00:54:58.090
us. I was really trying hard not to do that.

00:54:58.250 --> 00:55:00.210
I didn't want to do it either. Love the song.

00:55:00.889 --> 00:55:03.210
Just didn't want to be so on the nose in this

00:55:03.210 --> 00:55:04.690
one. If I was going to pick Buffett, I was going

00:55:04.690 --> 00:55:06.369
to do Margaritaville. But then we were having

00:55:06.369 --> 00:55:08.250
so much fun with food songs, we forgot about

00:55:08.250 --> 00:55:10.570
our refills. Yes. So we're going to refill at

00:55:10.570 --> 00:55:12.389
the end of the night. We had our desserts. We

00:55:12.389 --> 00:55:15.170
had our main meals. And now we're sitting here

00:55:15.170 --> 00:55:18.250
just hanging out around a fire pit, screaming

00:55:18.250 --> 00:55:21.369
at Mars about to plan how to roast the solar

00:55:21.369 --> 00:55:24.320
system two years ago for FN Cultured. with beer

00:55:24.320 --> 00:55:26.820
in our red solo cup. So beer by Psycho Stick

00:55:26.820 --> 00:55:28.860
is going to be the closer for this playlist.

00:55:29.179 --> 00:55:32.500
I love that one. I actually had beer from Real

00:55:32.500 --> 00:55:35.019
Big Fish on my list. I also have that on my list.

00:55:35.139 --> 00:55:36.480
And I didn't know where you, because when you

00:55:36.480 --> 00:55:39.019
said closing, either one could close a party

00:55:39.019 --> 00:55:41.559
really, really well. Right, yeah. But I actually

00:55:41.559 --> 00:55:45.219
love Psycho Stick. They have a lot of real, they're

00:55:45.219 --> 00:55:48.280
basically like a modern era green jello or green

00:55:48.280 --> 00:55:50.519
jelly. depending on what they're legally allowed

00:55:50.519 --> 00:55:53.900
to be called. But musically, they're ridiculously

00:55:53.900 --> 00:55:57.500
talented, but their songs are hysterical. And

00:55:57.500 --> 00:55:59.840
the video is so funny. It's just an animated

00:55:59.840 --> 00:56:02.679
nutshell of a video. Definitely worth checking

00:56:02.679 --> 00:56:05.539
out. And there you have it, Mixtapers. That concludes

00:56:05.539 --> 00:56:09.260
Side B of our foods from a summer cookout or

That'll be underneath the player in an embedded

YouTube video. But I really can't wait to hear

00:57:00.940 --> 00:57:04.219
that one. Home run picks, Bobby. Why don't you

00:57:04.219 --> 00:57:06.360

00:57:06.360 --> 00:57:09.099

00:57:23.769 --> 00:57:25.829
Well, Bobby Schultz, this has been an absolute

00:57:25.829 --> 00:57:28.809
blast. I would love to have a cookout with you

00:57:28.809 --> 00:57:31.309
at some point because I feel like we've got our

00:57:31.309 --> 00:57:34.889
menu already planned. This is an unbelievable

00:57:34.889 --> 00:57:38.409
menu. The only part I feel like food -wise we

00:57:38.409 --> 00:57:40.710
should have added a little bit more, pound cake

00:57:40.710 --> 00:57:43.269
and pudding that Mick Jones took. So technically

00:57:43.269 --> 00:57:45.949
the pudding's not there. He stole it. So we just

00:57:45.949 --> 00:57:48.750
have plain pound cake. But by that point, you

00:57:48.750 --> 00:57:50.389
just pour the beer over it. I guess it works.

00:57:50.429 --> 00:57:52.349
Yeah, there you go. Soak it. That's a dessert.

00:57:53.130 --> 00:57:55.389
There you go. Well, Bobby, thank you so much

00:57:55.389 --> 00:57:57.070

00:57:57.070 --> 00:57:58.829
