(00:06):
How too? Many licks.
Now, the making of a good population tape is a very subtle
art. Many do's and don'ts.
First of all, you're using someone else's poetry to express
how you feel. This is a delicate thing.
You got to kick it off with a killer grab attention.

(00:26):
Then you got to take it up enough.
Then you got to cool it off a notch.
And there are a lot of rules. It's probably because I'm
turning Japanese. Are you?
Konichiwa, Fredericks Konichiwa.Is that cultural appropriation?
To say a word in another language?

(00:47):
I don't think so. OK, You weren't making fun of
it, were you? No.
I embraced the culture. So Don was you just came back
from Japan. How is it?
Yeah, Highlights, Highlights, low lights.
No low lights. I wouldn't, I wouldn't call them
low lights. There's no low lights at all.
Highlights. The Daruma Temple outside of
Osaka. One of the coolest things I've
ever seen. I fed deer with my hand on

(01:10):
videos of that. After we bowed to one another,
me and the deer bowed to one another.
It's too much. It's too much to process.
It's too, it's too big. So I, we did our best to break
down the different areas to understand for like, you know,
stateside people, 'cause, you know, travels to Japan.
Oh, what I thought was going to be the scariest part, which was

(01:31):
the 13 hour plane ride. Yeah, not that bad.
Nice that not. That bad?
I didn't seem too bad, like I thought it would be longer than
that. 13 hours there, direct flight from Chicago to Hanada in
Tokyo, and then nine home to LAXand then four from LAX to
Chicago. And that was the shittiest leg
of the flight, believe it or not.

(01:52):
Who would have thought that American Airlines can go blow a
balloon? Yeah, like.
Your insult. Now blow a balloon.
It's from Linda Belcher. Oh, is it OK?
Well, yeah, we love, we love theBelchers.
Yeah, how could you not? I did get a hot dog for
breakfast on the airplane. Right.
You know that classic? So weird.

(02:16):
Hot dogs are pretty front and center in Japanese culture.
Like you can. There's a lot of hot dogs, not
like intentional hot dogs, but it's like somebody.
Somebody Intentional hot dogs. Intentional somebody.
Misread pretty intentional. Hot dogs is a great.
Bad name? I'm not sure.
When somebody sent the fax that said Americans like sausages,

(02:37):
Japanese were just like, oh sausages, that's a hot dog.
So like, breakfast is served with hot dogs, which again, hot
dog and eggs I'm going to throw down on every time.
But. But still it's.
Very strange, like, wrapped in pastries like.
Yeah, yeah. Blanket style.
Yeah. Yeah, you.
You were loving the vending machine culture though.
Vending machine culture is nuts that you can just buy hot corn

(03:00):
soup out of a vending machine inin an alley.
Wild. And then convenience store
culture is so bad ass. And have you seen you were like
eating meals at the convenience store, right?
I would say 2/3 of the food I ate came from 711 Family Mart or
Lawson's because it's so frigginconvenient and it's all really
good. Like the egg salad sandwiches.

(03:21):
No joke. Have you seen the American 7
elevens trying to do the egg salad sandwich?
OK. Look it up.
Japanese egg salad sandwich. It's cloud bread.
So that's like the fluffiest softest white bread under like
not understandingly how white itis and then just delicious egg
salad right down the middle. Nothing crazy.

(03:41):
Well I was in a 711 literally yesterday and it's like Japanese
style egg salad sandwich. So none of the ones in Japan
have the crust. They cut the crust off.
The ones in the states have the crust, the bread is just so soft
and so not crumbly. And then the American 1 is like
a crumbly shitty white bread. Japanese don't fuck when it

(04:02):
comes to eggs. It says 7 Elevens are trying to
offer Japanese style food as part of an initiative to improve
prove the food offerings in the US, including onigiri egg salad,
sandwiches made with fluffy bread.
It points out miso ramen, chicken teriyaki, rice balls,
among other things. So yeah, there you go.
The rice balls have a name. I don't know what it is like.

(04:26):
They they're like a circle. And then there's sticky rice,
like sticky sushi rice with shitin it.
Sometimes it's an egg, sometimesit's soy sauce, sometimes it's
fish, sometimes it's chicken, sometimes it's pork, sometimes
it's just like mushrooms and veggies.
And I ate 1000 of those. But you got to remember when you
grab your food at the 711, you have to stand in front or in the

(04:46):
like some of the seven elevens have little dining rooms.
You eat there, you don't walk around and eat.
You eat where you get your food and then you throw your trash
away there and then you keep cruising.
You don't you don't walk and eat.
It's like a faux pas. It's.
Like a no, no, yeah, I got yelled at by a guy the last time
I was in London for doing that. I was, I got a sausage roll at

(05:07):
the train station. I was walking and eating and he
yelled at me for it. What was weird is there were
other people doing it too that were obviously British.
So I was like, well, hold on a second.
Sounds like. How is murder seed devils?
I fudged up, you guys. I fudged up.
OK, so met Runge and an old friend of ours, Mano, for
dinner. And I was like, hell yeah, let's

(05:30):
meet for dinner. I was a little late.
Not a lot late, but I was a little late.
And I was like, all right, well,I'll meet you guys there.
And I didn't want to go watch the opener.
I was a couple minutes late to dinner.
I was, I said between 7:00 and 7:15.
And I got there at 7:17, but that's only because I was
parking. So I wasn't like, I was late.
Yeah, I was late. If we're looking at this

(05:51):
abductively, like per of the courts, I was late.
Per the courts. Per the courts.
And then get to dinner. We're hanging out and it's a
blast catching up with old friends.
Good times, great oldies. We're having a hell of a time
and I'm in no rush to see. I was in no rush to see the
Satanic Puppet Orchestra. OK.

(06:13):
OK, not not Russian Doors at 7 show at 8:00.
What time would you think the second band starts?
Doors at 7, shows at 8:00. Second band will go on at 8:45.
You're nuts dude, you're nuts. Opener gets 45 minutes, 15
minutes for transition if the band.
Starts gets 45 minutes at a punkrock show that's I've never seen
that about. Murder City Devils are 1000

(06:35):
years old. Well, that's what they got.
The the Satanic Puppet Orchestragot 30 minutes.
Murder City Devils went on at like 8:45.
That's what I would have assumed.
I never would have guessed that dude, never would have guessed
that. But the Satanic Puppet Orchestra
averages about 150 plays per month, so Jason's probably into

(06:57):
him. So tiny.
Tiny. Tiny Dude and I was just in no
rush and so we got to Murder City Devils.
A little late and we missed the first few songs, but we saw the
good stuff. I thought you were going to tell
me that you missed even more, but.
We missed 8 songs. 8 songs? That's more than a few songs.
I know that's a lot. That's his albums worth almost.
I know, man, I feel bad, but we saw, we saw all the good ones.

(07:21):
We didn't miss anything of a lotof substance.
Have you ever seen the Fred Armisen skit with Dave Grohl and
Ashton Kutcher where Fred Armisen's daughter's getting
married on that wedding? That's what it was like to see
the Murder City Devil. That was the Murder City Devil
show. They're old fucking dudes, man.
They are old. Dudes, they are.
They're old dudes and they crushed it, you know, and it was

(07:44):
awesome, but they are old dudes.Yeah, I I'm stuck to them
though. I've never seen them and I don't
know if I want to with how old they are but.
They were great band, great band.
I saw pale J. Yes, you did.
Since we last recorded, you werein Japan.
Were you in Japan when I was? Yeah, I was texting you.
I think you were in Japan. I was in Japan.

(08:05):
It was vibey, man. It was.
Vibey. You looked Vibey.
Yeah, yeah. I feel like there's a lot of
slow sways. Oh, every song.
Because every like when you're listening to Pale J, you're not
listening from a perspective of a live show, you're just
listening to good songs. But like, seeing him live really
illustrates how every song is basically the same typo.

(08:27):
They're all like, slow. For.
Sure. Slow tempo songs and like, it's
a lot of yeah, it's a lot of sway.
He's really lanky. Like.
Really long arms and he's just but he's using them.
He's he's looks like a scarecrowcome to life.
Or he looks like an inflatable flailing arm man.
Kinda, except all white in a, you know, a red ski mask on.

(08:50):
Have we found out who he is yet?I don't think so.
I think Doug was looking into itmore and there's a lot of ideas
of who he is. I don't.
Know. Wait, do you mean Mr. Driscoll,
the gym teacher? Mr. Driscoll.
The gym teacher correct. It was it was really great
though. I mean it was really, really
simple stage setup, but that wasdope.
So he had like a keyboard playerand a bassist.
They were all they were both wearing red.

(09:12):
He's wearing all white with the red ski mask.
All the lights are red. That's it.
There's only red lights. I thought he wasn't Tori.
I thought he was going to play alot of live.
That was the whole shtick, right?
Wasn't that the thing? That is the shtick and he's not.
So I think this was only like 8-8 or ten dates and they were
all over. I think there's only four in the
US. There was like 2 in New York and
like a couple in LA and maybe added one more and then it was

(09:32):
like a some in Europe. It was like hardly any.
It was at a small venue though. I expected it to be bigger.
It was probably a 500 person venue.
Was it crazy? Sold out?
How'd you get in? You know a guy.
It was definitely sold out. We got tickets early when kind
of when they got announced, actually, Steve Riola messaged
me. He was like, dude, I would fly
out for this if you can go. And at first I was like, I don't

(09:52):
think I can go. But then Doug, Doug was able to
get tickets. And I did message Steve back and
I was like, we've got, we've gotan, we've got a ticket if you
want to go. But because he couldn't make it
work. So it was in Brooklyn.
I mean, it's a, it's a, that's a, that's a hike.
But yeah, I was at this little venue.
It was really cool. You know, I didn't buy any
merch, but he had some decent merch.
He didn't have a ski mask, though.

(10:12):
Big I wouldn't miss. No.
You think it's a miss? No dude, no way.
I think it'd be cool. No way.
No all. Right.
I'm stoked. Or at least the bucket hat.
'Cause he's got that one. Maybe the bucket hat was got a.
Red lighting in it the bucket hat.
Maybe the bucket hat, but definitely no ski mask.
That's his. That's his hat.
Fair enough. Yeah, that's, that's fair.
Yeah, that's fair. Let's you know.

(10:38):
Oh yeah, I know we said music news wasn't going to be about
new releases, but that Avett Brothers Mike Patton album came
out while I was in Japan. Yeah.
It's as weird as I thought it would be.
Yeah. It's fucking great, but it's so
strange. Well, part of this is going to

(10:59):
be about new releases actually. Because you know what else is
probably weird and I haven't listened to it yet, but it came
out two days ago as of recording.
Is Aerosmith and Youngblood put out an EP together?
Oh God, I heard all about it. But you haven't heard it, have
you? I haven't listened to it yet.
No, I'm I'm not rushing to play it.
Yeah, me neither. Don't think I'm gonna do it. 5
songs. Yeah, I mean, it's it's yeah,

(11:21):
EP. So, you know, I Youngblood is I
don't know what to think about that dude.
He seems lame. I like some of the things he's
doing for music, like the music festival that's affordable, that
he runs and some of that stuff. But he does seem a little, I was
gonna say punchable, but maybe that's too mean.
You can go lame. Yeah, he's the.
Fucking worst man. He seems like he's the fucking

(11:41):
worst. And I'm, I, I got to start
avoiding the set every time I, Iresearch music news for this,
somebody's passed away like. Come on, I'm.
So tired of people you like, notpeople passing away is nothing
they can do about that. Tired of reporting on that on
this thing, so I'm going to skipthat one.
The Cmas happened. Do you care about the Cmas?

(12:03):
No. Yep, same.
You want to know who won? Because I feel like the Cmas are
just pop country. I feel like it's not like, good
this country anymore. Which sucks because like there's
so much good country that never makes its way to the Cmas
because Cmas are fucking cold beers and pickup trucks, you
know? Like it's a lot of old rich
whites pretending to be rural, rural hard work and whites.

(12:26):
Yes, there there was one piece of news from this though that
came out, which was kind of likeI, I watched somebody talk about
it on, you know, a real or, you know, they probably posted on
TikTok, but they were like, you know, the country music industry
needs to pay attention to this because there's this band called
the red Clay strays who are likea kind of more like folksy

(12:51):
country group. I don't know where they're from,
but they weren't on. They haven't, they're not on
country radio at all, which is like the CMA still leans heavily
into country radio. They won best vocal group, like
vocal group of the year. And there was a lot of people
talking about how they don't even know who that is.
But then it's because it's it's like a younger band.
So it's all streams. It's all their music being in

(13:14):
TikTok videos. It's, you know, it's YouTube and
they're not on the radio. And the guy was like, they
there's only three country radiostations that played them this
year at all. But then they won vocal of the
year. So that's.
From mobile AL. Mobile AL, There you go.
That's cool. Brooks, and I mean, still won
something though, aren't they? Fucking dead.

(13:39):
They won vocal duo of the year, I mean.
How is that an award? Don't know Laney Wilson won
entertainer of the year, which is their their big one.
I don't even know who Laney Wilson is.
I got to be honest with you, I have no idea who that is.
Who? That is 2019.
I don't fucking know who it is. Laney Wilson.
She won Entertainer of the Year,Album of the year, Female
Vocalist of the Year, so who knows.

(14:02):
All right. And then?
She's the white female version of what I was describing from
the male version. Her.
Her the number one song is called heart like a truck.
Like come. There's a song called 4 by 4 by
you. Like, come on man.
Do you, do you know that, do youknow that SNL sketch or it's

(14:22):
just three of the women? I, I think it was Amy Schumer
was the host and she's one of them.
They're just wearing big hats and talking about how that's
their personality. She's a big hat.
She's a big hat girl. Big hat woman.
Jesus Christ dude, the fucking word like have you you know Bo
Burnham is the. Comedian who's kind of
disappeared. He has disappeared.

(14:43):
Well, he disappeared after the thing that he released during
the pandemic, which is the best comedy release that I've seen in
a long time. But he does.
He has a song, I think it's actually called Pandering, where
he makes fun of country music. And ever since I heard that song

(15:04):
and then I've heard any snippet of pop country, it's like, dude,
you're doing the thing. You are what they're talking
about. Like it's so bad, dude.
It's so bad. Like I'm all for musicians and
artists that you know are are making their steak for whatever,

(15:28):
but like the pandering that goeson in fucking country music is
really sad that there's so many.Totally.
It's the it's the right word because you know, there's pop
like general pop music has had its ebbs and flows where it's
pretty vapid at times too. I think it's pretty good right
now. Like those pop artists are
writing just quality songs and they're not all about the same
thing. But that's what the the pop

(15:49):
country is always just pandered.It's just.
You know, 4 by 4 by you. Like that's the title of the
fucking song. What the fuck, man?
And we like, we like country in folk music.
I love. I fucking love it.
It's just, it's that pop. It's that pop stuff, man.
I'm with you, dude. I can't, I can't do it.
God, it's. Atrocious man.

(16:11):
Speaking of country and a artistwho's come up on the last two
episodes, I think and inspired abit of a rant by you on the last
one. There's this isn't news yet, but
there's a bunch of rumors E online is reporting because you
know, we do gossip now that Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani
maybe a divorce, maybe a chance.They didn't attend the they

(16:31):
didn't attend the Cmas. You mean there's still a chance?
There's been a bunch of rumors, so you.
Mean I still have a shot. You don't.
You don't want a shot. I still, I would still shoot my
shot if I had a chance to talk to Gwen Stefani.
Would you? Of course.
Talk to you. Absolutely.
Well, I mean, yeah. A shot to just take a shot.

(16:53):
Just take a shot. Yeah, Hey, you want to go grab a
Diet Coke and talk about fuckinggood old Scott?
Like, let's give it a whirl. Let's go.
Yeah. Dude, I'm reading the.
Guest in. No 'cause I'm reading the
fucking lyrics to 4 by 4 by you and I.
I'm just getting more. Angry.
But can you read them as a dramatic reading?
Yeah, if you put some dramatic music in the background when

(17:14):
this happens. I'm the kind to take the keys.
Don't sit in a shotgun seat less.
I want to and you make me want to.
Hypnotized by the white lines. Your hands 10 and two on this

(17:36):
heart of mine. Makes me feel at home.
Yeah, boy, I'm right at home. 2 on this heart of.
Monker Man in a 4 by 4 by you babe.
From Bayou to Kentucky city to the country, from here to
Timbuktu. I think this is the fucking

(17:58):
chorus. God damn it, I'm not doing this
anymore. But now you're all in a bad
mood. Let's we got to cheer you up.
We got to start talking about some good music.

My studio mate and one of my best friends, Rachel, did.
She's rodeo ceramics. But yeah, I'll.
Get all the plugs in. Going to follow Rodeo ceramics,
what do you follow? About skate like a girl though.
That's more important. Talk to us about Skate Like a
Girl. Yeah, Skate Like a Girl is a

(22:28):
nonprofit. They have 3 chapters, so here in
Seattle, the Bay and Portland, and they focus on empowering
youth and really driving messageof you can do anything.
And yeah, they're incredible. They do a lot of work in social
justice. They teach women and trans

(22:49):
sessions at the skate park. And yeah, they have adult
clinics too if any adults want to learn how to skateboard.
It's just the best. They're incredible.
They've been around for 25 years.
Wow, I didn't realize that. Yeah.
How long have you been on the board?
About five years, yeah, me and me and Alex White are.

(23:11):
Alex is our chair and then I'm vice chair for the board, so
pretty great people. That's incredible.
Yeah. So make sure if you're in those
areas, you check out Skate Like a Girl and support them.
Do they? Do they?
How are they? How are they funded?
Is like donation funded nonprofit stuff is it?
Yeah. Donations, grant writing.
We have an incredible group of people who donate their time,

(23:33):
who help write grants, but a lotof donation funded.
And then this current administration, there's been a
lot of grants that are no longergoing to nonprofits necessarily.
They're going to other avenues. You don't say.
It's unbelievable. Motherfucker.
So I do plug, protect and support your nonprofits right

(23:53):
now. They they may or may not be
struggling, but any little bit you're able to go give gives a
really long way. Well, there's also like so
skatelikeagirl.com, you can donate there, you can read all
about it. There's also merch and I'm
assuming that merch helps support as well.
So merch on there. Good ass merch.
Merch is great, we love it. Yeah, well, let's you know I

(24:17):
don't want to bury the lead here.
What's the theme for today's mixtape?
And today's theme is songs and skate parts.
Yes, songs and skate parts. It was the skating industry that
brought us all together. It was.
It was. So let's.
Fucking talk about good ass songs.
Yeah, we should do it. I'm curious, what like, I don't

(24:38):
know how to ask this question, but like, what, how, what is
your relationship to like skate videos and music and skate
videos? Like, you know, were you guys
watching the stuff as kids? Was it later and when you got
into the industry? I'm curious.
Yeah, for me it was it was a little bit later, but it was
like I look at music for like the way I kind of designed.

(24:58):
My list is 2 things. One, was it a song that like
when I watched the film I was like, oh fuck, I'm like what is
this song? Like if if Shazam was out, like
I'm Shazam ING the song right now to find it out, like find
out more. And two, it's like when you hear
that song like in real life, areyou like, oh, this is so and
so's part from this video? Like is it instant reckoning?

(25:21):
Good call. Yeah, the only I, I did the
same. And I also, I, the other
technique I used was just like, what were some of my favorite
parts that I remembered? And then I went back and
rewatched him and I was like, what's the song a part of why I
remembered it or not? I had some misremembered pieces.
Like I'll tell you just right now, I could have sworn that
there was a Mike Valley part in a video 411 magazine or 41 video

(25:45):
magazine part that had a Rage Against the Machine song.
And that does not exist. I couldn't find it anywhere.
That's not a thing. My my brain was just broke.
But I went searching for that thing because I'm like, I
remember this. I remember being in like, you
know, 14 year old, 15 year old probably and watching that.
But anyway, I don't want to get too much into that.
But yeah, it was like discovering music and skate

(26:06):
videos was a big thing. We're discovering artists.
And then, yeah, I think that's, I think I'm with you there.
It's like, what? What is the like music and the
part itself? Like combined to make something
super awesome or super memorable.
Yeah, it's kind. Of huge shout out to the skate
video site being just the Holy Grail of all things skate

(26:29):
videos. It is fucking fit.
Like I started researching, obviously like same deal, right?
What are the songs? What are the parts?
Who's part, what are The Who arethe skaters that I like the
most? Who do I have memories of like
meeting or spending time with some of these people?
Yeah. And like being like, OK, cool.
I remember this part in this video.
I want to go back and look it upand like stumbled upon skate

(26:50):
video site and it was like 4 hours later I was like, oh shit,
wait, hold on. And had no songs written down,
just watching like clips of the old skate videos that like I
liked the most. It was a.
Blast. I, I like rewatched a bunch of
my favorite full skate movies that I hadn't watched.
Like I went back and was watching the whole thing.
I'm like, yeah, this is amazing.I haven't watched some of these
in years. Bring back physical media.

(27:12):
Bring back physical skate videos, skate companies.
I will also say it was fun too to like, I mean, with where I
work, I have a couple goats who I was reached out to and I was
like, who's your favorite video part or like song?
Like because of the song and shout out my coworkers, Doyle

(27:33):
and Varney, good dudes. They gave me a few of their
recommendations. But the other thing about like a
skate Part 2 is there's the movie aspect when you get the
full movie. But then more recently, there's
been like individual parts too, and.
So it's a big thing. It is.
And so it's so much almost harder to it.

(27:53):
I don't know if it has the same effect of like when you're
watching a whole movie and one individual song sticks out
versus like one song for one part type thing.
So. Yeah, because the context
matters. It's like it feels, it's like,
feels like it's part of that skaters personality or maybe the
vibe of that that video part in that movie fits the song and
it's different from the one thatit followed in the movie, right.

(28:16):
And so like the flow matters andlike the context of the movie
matters. I I completely agree with that.
And it would. So if it's just the single part
on its own, it's like, yeah, it's a cool song, but this is
like, no, this fits in a video in a certain way.
This this fit that skater in a certain way.
I have one that's a standalone video part.
I have one that's like a mishmash of parts.

(28:37):
So like, yeah, OK, yeah. This is the first time I had to
type out my list versus handwritten.
Yeah, totally. Because I had to do movie year
skater artist track, whereas usually it's like artist track.
So I had to do like the whole thing.
So I have it fully typed out this time for the first time

(28:58):
ever. Feel good about it.
We'll do it again, but I feel good about it.
I also want to clarify, when Donsays skate video site, he's not
saying that in some like Vego, there's the skate video site.
It's literally skatevideosite.com and it's
fantastic. And if you run
skatevideosite.com and you're listening to this somehow, God
bless you. Just God bless you.
We'll e-mail it to him. Yeah, we should.

(29:19):
We should send them, send them this episode, absolutely.
Maybe skate video site will sponsor us a clip on the pod.
I remember and like I we'll probably get into this when we
talk about specific songs and genres and things, but I also
remember I've seen multiple bands, especially like punk
bands from like the early 90s say that they got big basically

(29:41):
because of skate videos. Like I know like Dexter from the
Offspring and like the guys fromPennywise like have been on
record being like we wouldn't have gotten known if it wasn't
for somebody sticking one of oursongs in a skate video probably
without permission. But who gives a fuck?
Like free promotion, right? Like, so I think it's really
cool. I I, yeah, I love this idea of
discovering music through skate videos.

(30:01):
So I'm excited to talk about this.
I had a great time watching old skate videos again.
So kind of just want to get intoit.
We're going to try something new.
We're going to use you as a Guinea pig though, Sarah for a.
2nd. So oh shit Dawn it disappeared.
Now I have to re redo it. Do you have to retype it all
out? No, I can copy and paste it.
Hold on. Don is, as you probably heard,

(30:23):
listening to episodes. Don is so tired of me reading
the rules, the mixtape rules. And we're going to try having
you read them to see if he makesthem less grumpy.
If. We started off on a rough thing,
talking about pop culture, cult pop country.
So I'm already in a bad spot. Yeah, he leads a grumpy Gus
today, so I'm going to send the rules in the chat and, you know,

(30:47):
just take your best, take your best swing at reading these
things. Here we go, SO11.
You have to have a killer opening track that grabs the
listener's attention. Each song should flow smoothly
on to the next, creating a seamless listening experience.
The mixtape should have a good balance of different genres,
tempos, and moods. Variety keeps things

(31:08):
interesting. The mixtape should tell a story
or convey a specific emotion. It should take the listener on a
journey. Five.
It can't be too obvious, but it can't be too obscure either.
Unless that's the thing. I can't double up on songs on
the same artist and for this podcast can't double up from
songs from the same video. Yeah.

(31:29):
Yeah, I know that's going to complicate it.
And then the closing track should leave a lasting
impression and make the listenercrave more.
That's better what? Do you think better?
Than you reading it. Better.
Yeah, you know what? I'm happy to have somebody else
read it Happy. And she crushed it.
Sarah, you crushed. You could be an announcer.
You could be a podcaster. Yeah, maybe one day.

(31:53):
All right. You want to go first, second or
third in the rotation. I want to go first because I
have a feeling everybody has their number one song.
I I imagine we do. Yeah.
All right. Well, it's.
So it's going to be Sarah, then Don and me this time around.
All right, Cool. You're heading me, Don.
All right, Sarah, you want to kick it off #1 pick.

(32:14):
Yeah #1 Pick video came out in 2003.
The video was girl. Yeah, right.
And. The.
This skater was Rick Mccrank andthe song is La Tigre Decepticon.

(32:56):
Did you, did you have that on there, Don?
Did you have that video? Did you have any of that?
I had the video. I didn't have Rick Mccrank's
part, I had Mark Johnson's part.But I'll save it for an
honorable mention. Yeah.
And. There you go.
I had Brian Anderson's part from.
Yeah, right. So look at that.

(33:17):
Got it all covered. That's that whole video was so
stacked with music. It really was a lot of those
girl videos. Were stacked.
Stacked with music? What?
What was it about the Latigre part?
Yeah. Well, OK, so I also have to
shout out the fact that this La Tigre song was also used the

(33:39):
year prior in a Snowboard video in it was Robot Food 1 of theirs
and it was Chris Engelsman's part.
And so technically that came outfirst because that was an after
bang. But I also had La Tigre
Decepticon as my Myspace song for a very long time.

(34:00):
Yes, yeah. So that was that was a big part
of it. I love this song to this day.
You hear that first, like when she comes on, like it's so good.
And I love Latigre just like as a band, I think they're cool.
I mean, they're rad so. They just are.
They're, they're just cool, yes.Well, you know the lead singer

(34:21):
is married to one of the BeastieBoys too, right?
Yeah, Mike A, right. Is he married to Mike A or Mike
Diane I think. Mike A.
It's like D or A. But yeah, she's the lead singer
of 100%, and she's the lead singer of Bikini Kill, too,
Yeah. As a bass player, I've always
loved Latigre. They're always like bass front

(34:42):
and center, just that like simple, awesome.
Bass. Distorted bass part, just
driving, dancey dance punk stuff.
It's just so fun. So perfect.
First game video. Yeah, so good.
Yeah, and then opening bot like it's perfect to play at any
time, I think, but. Where did this fall see?
Because I kind of want to. Yeah.

(35:02):
So it's like, this is what I love.
So like, I don't know what the song is before and Ugly
Casanova. I don't know what that is.
But the song after this on the video is a John Frashanti song.
So like I'm I'm so curious aboutlike it would be.
It would have been so fun to do,like the editing, directing and
or music. Oh.

(35:24):
Yeah. It was, it was yeah, right, that
showed that production in skate videos should and could be a
thing, right? Because that was the green
screen, that was the green board, that was Spike Jones,
that was fucking Owen Wilson showing up in the video.
It was yeah right. That like said, OK, skate videos
isn't just dudes rolling around with handheld cams like filming

(35:45):
their friends parts. This is like fucking true
Hollywood production music videoand like, yeah, right, In my
opinion, just completely fuckingchange skate videos like that
took. I mean, of course there's still
like, you know, the grungier skate videos that still came out
after Yeah, right. But yeah, right.
Was like oh wait, we have to spend money on videos and it's

(36:06):
worth it because it makes them fucking awesome.
Yeah, Spike Jones was doing somelike cinematic stuff before this
one, but this one brought in like effects and stuff, right?
It had like the magic board partin it and like.
The green screen. Yeah, Yeah.
So they were bringing like to your point, like production
beyond just like maybe because they they would have skits and
some old, some other, I don't want to name the videos because

(36:27):
they'll probably be on here, buthe did some other older ones
that had like little mini moviesin them almost that looked
fucking incredible because SpikeJones was great.
But yeah, to your point, Don, like the production level.
Yeah, right. Just like next level.
Yeah, because it was. It was Ty Evans and Spike Jones,
so I feel like and then Ty Evansjust like took it to such a

(36:48):
different level and Spike Jones did too in Hollywood, obviously,
and still in skateboarding. But it's, yeah, it was a good
one. And not to get overly geeky
about skateboarding for listeners who don't know
anything about skateboarding, but this team was just stacked
too. Like when you go back and look
at who was riding on this video,it's insane.
It's absolutely insane. P Rod, Mike Carroll, Rick
Mccrank, Brian Anderson, Mark Johnson, Eric Austin.

(37:12):
It's just like Jesus Christ, just stacked, stacked video.
Yeah, alright, Good first pick. Great first pick.
Great first pick. Great first pick.
Thank you. Already should already gotta
cross one. Off should I save my yeah right
story for Oh yeah I gotta cross this off Should I save my yeah
right story for honorable mentions or should I tell it
now? Does it?

(37:33):
Does the story involve the song OK?
I spent a summer traveling with a bunch of different skate
teams. Sarah has spent many of those
summers traveling with skate teams.
And there was a year where we did a couple things with Girl
and we also did a couple things with Lakai.
And for some reason, Mark Johnson decided that at every
single stop we were at together that we would arm wrestle.

(37:56):
And I beat him every time. So I'm going to, I'm going to
hang my hat on that hook and saythat I'm still pretty proud of
that. But it was just a thing where it
was like he would walk into likethe craft service tent where
there was Chipotle catered and be like, all right, dude, come
on, it's time, let's go. And like on like a random
folding table. We decided we would arm wrestle
and that was always a really exciting.
And you just, you just roll up and beat him every time.
He's a little guy, you know, like, he's a pretty scrawny

(38:18):
dude. Yeah, for sure.
But I still felt good about it. It might turn, yeah.
Yep, your turn. I feel good about wait can we do
same manufacturer? Yeah, we we have to be able to
do the same manufacturer. OK, same manufacturer from some
different video. Pretty sweet. 2012.
Jesus Fernandez and Chico Brennan's song has been on a mix

(38:42):
tape before. Artist has not.
And it's going to be the Gypsy King is covering Hotel
California. Oh, you had Hotel California?

(39:14):
OK. It's a great part.
Absolutely went to Gypsy Kings with the Hotel California
because. You go.
So I think I had the very next part in that video, I believe,
which was well, so I was split on this one.
There's two different, I'm just going to say I don't give a fuck
about waiting for honorable mentions at this point.
This is going to there's two justice songs there's on and on,
which is like a mixed part. And then there's Sean Malto's

(39:38):
Sean Malto's part, which is new land justice, so fucking good.
And Sean Malto's just a sweet, sweet looking, delightful young
man in that video. I love it so.
I went slightly different. I also had a pretty sweet song.
I went Night Moves by Bob Seger,which is.
Yeah. It's Corey Kennedy's part, and

(40:00):
it was just like this slow MO and like just the dance that
happened to that song on Corey'spart was really good.
But no great, great steal, Donnie.
Yeah. You know, like I said, it's
going to be tough to steal the movies because we're going to go
with probably some of our favorite movies.
But yeah, so at least we got twogirl hitters right out of the

(40:23):
way. Yeah.
Also fits in the tantrums, the money grabbers, yeah.
So, so weird. Song.
It's a great song though. It's a great song.
Fritz in Tantrums writes great songs, but it's like I want to
hear this in Kohl's, not on an escape video.
There's a song called Gypsy on here too, so I read that wrong
from Merciful Fate but. Yeah, I know.

(40:44):
That's one of my fucking honorable mentions.
Keep going. Right.
I would have used that one for the pod, but if you want me to
throw that one out because I wasgoing to keep that one, you
guess what you want it it. Didn't get picked.
I know, but you just said that one.
Now I can't use it. Why?
All right, keep going. I'm running on a song.
Talk about Gypsy Kings Hotel California.
No, you've mentioned the Merciful Fate song.

(41:04):
But you picked Gypsy Kings. I know you want to talk.
About it. Keep going.
It's your pick. Go ahead.
Wait, no, we talked about it. We're good.
God damn grumpy. It's pop country that did this.
It's pop country that did this. I will I will say about that
Gypsy Kings part for you. I just that I love the diversity
of music on these two. Like it comes out of that Hotel

(41:25):
California. So just like a little mariachi
number. It's awesome.
It's really good. All right, I don't know.
I this is from a skate video, soI don't think it's cheating.
Could, but it's not a specific person's part.
The most mind blown I've ever been watching a skate video is
the opening the intro for Lakai Fully Flared from 2007 M83 Lower

(41:50):
your eyelids to Die with the Sunas the song.

(42:25):
And it is just the most mind blowing opening to escape video
of all time. Like you just you got costen
bursting through that wall and you don't see it coming once.
I'm spoiler alert now that I've already said it, but if you've
never seen this video, you didn't know.
You thought he was just landing a trick in slow MO and then all
of a sudden he bursts through a concrete wall and the song

(42:47):
really kicks off and then it's just explosions and pyrotechnics
and like ultra slow MO. It's the fucking coolest thing
ever. Like jaw, jaw-dropping when I
first saw it for the first time.And those dudes were like
getting smacked in the face withlike shrapnel and stuff in these
videos. And you can watch it, you can
see it happening. Yeah, in very high definition

(43:09):
slow MO, you can see it. Crazy high def yeah.
Yeah, that was like the first move.
I was like, it had to have been one of the 1st movies that like
really utilized red cameras in like such a fun way.
But yeah, I I also had a full, Ihad a fully flared one on mine
too. I had Mike MO's part with Arcade
Fire. No cars go.

(43:30):
Another great soundtrack. Another great soundtrack.
I I just think as like an introduction, like it was like a
movie. It was like starting watching
the beginning of a movie. And like others gave videos.
The intros can be a lot of timesthey're funny.
Sometimes they're just kind of like a real.
This one was just like, oh, I feel like I'm in a movie theater
right now watching a piece of cinema.

(43:51):
It was, yeah. It was intense.
And that song, like who? I don't know who picked that
song. It's perfect.
But I never would have thought to pick that for this part.
But yeah, I love it. I love, I love costing hits that
wall. And you can literally see like
his exhale and like the spit flyout 'cause it's such high def
camera in like super slow MO. And then Cairo Foster like I

(44:13):
think it's like a 5050 down thatledge or something and it blows
up behind him and you can see and he falls, which I love too
like he doesn't land it and you only got one shot when you're
blowing stuff up. So I just remember this was a
big deal when it came out too. This video, it was like then I
saw I guess yeah, right, had it too, but like the.
Lower your eyelids to die with the sun.
Yeah, lower your eyelids to die with the sun.

(44:34):
Yeah. But they had like the shoes that
came out with the video, like with the colorways and like the
all the shirts and all that. I mean, it was just, it was a
watched. There's a lot at work when I
probably should have been working when I was watching this
instead. Yeah.
Who wasn't? This is part of work, though.

(44:54):
I needed to know, right? I needed to know what was.
Yeah, I needed to know. I was.
I needed to have Incredible. You needed to know what to say
to the children when they came into the store so you could seem
like that really great. Steve Buscemi, name of Hello
Fellow Children. Hello fellow fellow children,
have you seen the new Eric Coston skate skateboard video

(45:15):
part in the most recent skateboard video?
That's my life. That's really funny.
Good job, Roderick. Thank you.
Thank you. Sarah, we are back over to you.
Pick #2. OK, well let's see.
OK, this is this is the one out of my original for that is a
stand alone part. And this is more recent.

(45:39):
So 2022 Hardee's put out a part called the General and it was
for Tyshawn Jones and it was just him and this was during his
second Sony run and it was DMX. What's my name?
Hey, yo. Hey, yo, hey, yo.

(46:21):
Absolutely. Incredible song.
I feel like to do like a this ismy title and I'm taking it part
and I mean yeah, I I remember watching it.
They did like a watch party, I swear like yeah.
And I remember being there and when like 'cause I think they
started the video and I want to say it was like 2 gunshots when

(46:44):
he missed the trick twice and then when he gets the trick when
he lands just what's my name starts and you're just like
fuck. So good.
So good, Yeah. And I mean, yeah, DMX is always
a choice, and I feel like this was a really good part for it.
What a great song for escape video.
For the video part, like just, it sounds perfect for this.

(47:07):
Yeah, and it's Tayshawn Jones. So Tashawn.
Jones. Perfect for him too, yeah.
Yeah, 100%. So he's like, I already did this
once, I guess I'll do it again. So, so yeah, that's my, that's
my second one. Have we had DMX before Don at
all? On the Yeah, but What's My Name
is not in his top 10 most listened to songs.

(47:28):
Yeah, which is crazy. Crazy.
That's nuts. Yeah, we had rough route out of
Anton on the Y2K episode. Damn way back episode #5 forever
ago. DMX still 10 million monthly
listeners. Good for him.
Duh. Yeah, duh.
It's like, well, obviously. Yeah, when when you guys did the

(47:48):
Monday morning one, I was dying because I was like, oh, I would
have picked DMX like that just seems like, you know, like it's.
Going to get your Monday? Going party you?
Attack your week, you attack your week.
You start barking at it first thing Monday morning.
I love it. 100% let's go. I love, I was, yeah, I'm I'm

(48:12):
happy to bring DMX back into theconversation.
So is that Pump Up song? All right, what you got done?
I had something good but now I lost it on my typed up list
it's. Because you typed it up this
time. It's true, like usually they're
handwritten on large post. Its OK, I'll go.
Prague metal band? Metal band?

(48:33):
Is Children Of Bodom familiar? Anybody?
Yes. You're familiar with Children Of
Bodom? I'm familiar with Children Of
Bodom, yes. OK movie Dying to live 2005.
It's part of Chris Cole's bonus portion for his Skater of the
Year in 2005. The song is triple corpse hammer
blow. Nobody really does Prague metal

(49:20):
like Children Of Bodom, where they make it seem kind of cool
to have weird keyboards in theirshit because usually you put
weird keyboards in it. It's like you get Dream Theater,
but Children Of Bodom you do not.
You don't get Dream Theater withChildren Of Bodom, you get
fucking pretty burly metal with cool keyboards.
I'm I'm, I'm unfamiliar with theartist.
I will not lie to you. However, I'm very familiar to

(49:43):
progressive rock with keyboards.Shut up.
My dad, that was his. That's what he did when he was
like a teenager to old. Wait, did dad play keyboard in a
prog rock band? Yeah, Dad played keyboard in a
prog rock band. What was Dad's prog rock band
name? Oh my God I don't remember and
now I feel like. Come on.

(50:04):
Call him up. I've been oh God, I could dad
would answer. He would I do this all the time.
I have like random things and I'll just call him and I'll be
like, hey, did I do XX? Like what did I do here?
Like to prove a point to somebody and my dad will answer
and he's just used to me callinghim and asking him questions and
be like, see you later. Where to go, Dad?

(50:24):
Yeah, I've been to like 6 Yes concerts with my dad.
Hell yeah. Hell.
Yeah. I love it.
Yeah, Yeah. For some friends of mine, their
dad was a roadie for yes for years.
No way. Yeah.
And he's a huge Yes fan. Obviously they're, I've been to
their house and it's just yes, posters all over the fucking

(50:46):
wall. Oh my God, yeah.
I wonder if dad has any heart. You think dad has any experience
with children about him? I don't know, I could ask him.
He's not really a metal guy. He's like, very much so like.
He might not. 70s early 80s likeprog rock, but yeah.
Yeah, there's. A rush in our house.

(51:08):
Yeah. Hell yeah.
This is a good song choice though, Don, and I'm with you.
Like they do bring in some of the synth stuff without it being
kind of. Cheesy.
Corny at all? It's still fucking metal.
It's still very metal. Very metal.
Well there you know you love theScandinavian metal too.
The last few episodes. Yeah.
So yeah, children about them. It's good stuff.

(51:29):
And like, you could put Chris Cole in any video, and it's
going to be the best part of thevideo, arguably, You know, like,
you could fight back and forth, like, well, this person's part
better. But it's like, OK, well, you
have to argue that Chris Cole's part isn't one of the best parts
of the video. Am I crazy?
My thing with Chris, my thing with Chris was his part.
He he looks, and I know you don't see the misses, but like

(51:50):
he looks like a machine in thosevideos.
Like he looks like he's not eventrying to lay in this.
It just looks like the easiest fucking thing in the world for
him and it's nuts. I mean, he won street league
like when he was still like verymuch like older than us
probably. And yeah, the guy just he had,
he'd so much in him, still does.But yeah.

(52:11):
Yeah, I always really liked those zero guys.
Like Chris and Jamie were alwaysreally sweet and nice when you'd
meet him and stuff. And he's not like, I know them.
I don't really know them personally, but Chris called
Jamie Thomas. I've met them.
Go first names. Go ahead.
Yeah. Jamie and Chris, really sweet
guys, you know No, but they werelike they're they're really
nice. Like, I don't know, met my share

(52:31):
of asshole skaters too. One of.
Them I didn't want to pick a song because he's such an
asshole. Yeah, I came across a couple of
those too. I was like, this is dope, but.
I'm not going to pick your fucking song.
Yeah, yeah, I have. I have one of those on and on a
dimension. Do you?
Yep. Is there a rule about picking
Cuz I don't know like I'm still flexing my 4th pick.

(52:54):
I'm not sure what to pick but itwas a Chris Cole part but it's a
different video. Is that is that kosher?
No, but I'm running out of picks.
If you pick what I'm picking andI that means that you did.
So that means I'm running out ofthem.
I'm. Saying yeah, you can't do repeat
people too. No repeat people either.
No, Yeah, let's make it difficult.
That's fine. I mean, I'll cross that one out
then. So I I can't do my other Chris

(53:15):
Cole part. Fair enough.
All right, well, that changes mynext pick actually then, because
I was going to pick based on thethe song, but now I'm going to
pick based on the skater becauseI don't want you guys to pick
apart from my favorite skater. So it's a it's a Rodney Mullen
part all time favorite skater. One of the best fucking dudes,

(53:36):
has some incredible they're all good.
There's not a bad part and they all have great songs, but I
specifically am going with Massive Attack Teardrop.

(54:07):
Which is one of the songs from his part in round 3.
Almost round 3 from 2004, so thethird the third iteration of
Rodney Mullen versus Daewon song, but this time on Almost
instead of World Industries and crazy.
Good video and both those guys are absolutely insane and it

(54:28):
blows my mind to watch them skate.
It is not human. Neither of them are human.
It's impossible to do what they do on pieces of wood and metal,
and yet they do it anyway. And it's just something about
the Massive Attack part that fits how smooth he is.
And it's just such a chill, laidback song.
I like that it opens. Well, First off, in between
songs in his part is when he runs into Jack Nicholson on the

(54:51):
Walk of Fame. Or is it a Jack Nicholson look
alike? Did we?
Do we know if it was really him?I.
Don't. But he's like skating.
On the walk. And then you hear somebody in
the background and goes it goes that Jack and like dude looks
just like Jack Nicholson. But yeah, then the then Teardrop
kicks in for Massive Attack and like he's just landing tricks to

(55:13):
the beat. It's just like boom, boom, boom.
And it's not like that the wholesong, but that's how it opens
and it's just, it's a great edit.
He's just the master at technical skateboarding and just
one of the sweetest people. From.
My experience and and those, those videos were all awesome.

(55:34):
If you're into skating and you haven't seen any of the Mullen
versus song like round one, round two and round 3 all
incredible, watch them all. I remember in high school or
middle school honestly can't remember 1 of like my guy
friends on aim sent me almost around 3 and was like you should

(55:54):
watch this and at the time I'm like why?
And yes, that probably might have been the first skate video
part I ever saw. And I think.
That's cool. When when was Sheckler ever in
those Like somewhere deep in my Sheckler.
'S in round three. He's a kid.
He's a child, yes. And I remember, I specifically

(56:15):
remember that part too, being like there are children in these
videos. He's a child and one of his
parts is to a Cure song, which is so wild too.
Like a child in the 2000s skating to a Cure song.
I'm pretty sure I'm remembering that correctly.
But that's incredible. And also, you know, I I can say
it because nobody else can pick this video now, I guess, but

(56:35):
like the and I won't say the song in case somebody has a has
an honorable mention, But right after massive attack, right
after this Mullen part, it goes into Daewon's part and visually
that's better. Like he's skating on the sunset
on this weird like half circle thing in the middle of the
desert. I don't know if they found that
or whatever. It's just gorgeous.
And it's him like doing all these rooftop gaps, which is

(56:56):
insane that he's doing a rooftopgaps, but like the sun setting
and stuff. And it's really pretty.
I just wanted to do the Rodney Mullen part both because it's
like you said, Sarah, it's like the combination of the music and
the skater and what you remember.
But like I rewatched this and I'm like, oh, fuck that Daewon
song part. It's visually gorgeous.
It's like it's a stunning part. Dennis Martin, Jean Jacques

(57:20):
Briquette and Matt Hill. Props to you guys for filming
and directing this. I don't know which of you did
those, but incredible. Yep.
So that's my pick. Massive and 1st Massive attack.
Which is wild because I could have sworn I'd pick them on this
pod. I'm a big massive attack man but
they've not been on yet so. Great job.
Thank you. Thank you.

(57:41):
Back to you, Sarah. Pick 3.
Oh, God. OK, this I'm debating which one
I want to have. I I know my last pick.
If I had to guess, neither one of you have it.
So I want to leave it as my lastpick.
So I'm going to bump up one of my honorable mentions.
All right. In 2019.
Welcome Seance. It is one of my personal

(58:05):
favorite humans in the world. Nora Vasconcelos.
It's purity ring and girth. None.

(58:39):
Rings fantastic. I know they're incredible
Canadian, Canadian group, I lovethem.
I listen to them snowboarding all the time and it's so good
for like waves. And I mean with Nora skating and
how she attacks bulls and different stuff like that.
It's such a good song, I think for her style of writing and

(59:01):
then welcome so weird and mystical in the best of ways.
And so I just feel like the whole thing like all together
again, like I'm looking at thesefrom like parts video, like what
the video was brands, et cetera.Like I'm I'm a big purity ring
fan. So what?
Was the song title Sir Uh Ungirth Ungirthed.
Got it. Great song name.

(59:22):
Yeah, I. Don't know much of a
relationship. I've heard Purity Ring 1000
times. I think Steve Raila made me
listen to Purity ring probably more times than I remember.
But I don't have a ton of like that big of a relationship with
them, so I'm excited to get backinto it with this one.
They're great in general, but specifically the album that
Ungirthed is on, it's on an album called Shrines from 2012
and this whole album is like a no skip.

(59:43):
Incredible fucking record. That's cool and if it's welcome
to vibe vibes perfectly. I mean, purity ring, I only met.
I think I met Nora once or twicemaybe.
She was awesome. You've probably met her many
times and know her. But me, yeah.

(01:00:04):
Me, Donnie and Nora all got her face painted together in
Chicago. That's cute.
Yeah, 1,000,000 bucks. She's she's one of those
incredible people that like, youknow, they always say, don't
meet your heroes. Meet Nora Vasconcelos.
She is the most incredible person and vibes are always very
high. Very high, no bad days kind of

(01:00:27):
person like, and I'm sure that like she manages her stuff
however she needs to, but like she like just literally a ball
of fun happy energy all of the time.
Yeah, I yeah, if there's ever anevent and Nora's there, I know
I'm going to have a great time. So also incredible karaoke
singer. Oh, see, that's that's another

(01:00:47):
good. That's a good piece of
information to know. I would love to know.
Ever find myself around Nora, see if I can get her to karaoke?
It won't be hard. So having your face painted with
Dawn and Nora in Chicago sounds like an awesome memory.
Is it as good as turtle races? That's my question.
Had you forgot about turtle races?
No, there's a you know, there's a spot in California that does

(01:01:09):
turtle races. I think you can win.
I think there's like a national turtle racing thing, which is
why because it's all luck. But yeah, it's crazy.
No, I you can I, I. Get your turtle's history and
know who the runners are. That's fair.
It's like dog racing. You got to do the research on
the on the specific turtle. Yeah, Turtle racing in Chicago.

(01:01:30):
Rod was there for my first bout in such an activity.
Incredible. You guys have great things in
Chicago. Yeah, you're there for a Huff.
You're there for a Huff event, right?
Speaking of skate, like it was aHuff thing I think.
Yeah, that would have been the Huff Thrasher tour, actually.
Yeah. And that was that was a great
event that was really fun. And then we went to Millennium

(01:01:52):
Park afterwards because that park was still really new there.
With the people. Well, I think they built that
park for Dutour that year, essentially like they had to get
it done for Dutour. What, you mean Grand Park?
Yeah, I mean Grand Park, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
But it's it's near the bean. Yeah, it's not the way it's
been. Yeah.

(01:02:13):
Yeah, Grand Park, Yeah, they built that Ford Dutour and then
I think I came back like two months later for that Thrasher
Huff Tour. But yeah, no, it was, it was a
great event. Hough team was great.
And then we went turtle racing afterwards.
Oh yeah. Tapped here.
Great. Job.
All right, my turn. Yeah.

(01:02:35):
Wait, do we already do an almostvideo?
We did, yeah. We're doing brands.
Brands are fine because we brands are fine.
Brands are fine OK. Brands are fine OK.
Almost 2006 cheese and crackers.None of the artists part have
none of the skaters part have titles.
They're just called untitled. So it's going to be both of them
because they skated the whole thing together.

(01:02:57):
Day one song. Chris Islam, Judas Priest
Stealer is the song. Which Judas Priest has not been

(01:03:26):
on a single fucking episode up to this point, Rod.
I. Had 702 songs.
On my list for this. You did.
One of us would have picked Judas Priest on this one.
It was bound to happen. Yeah.
Incredible. Yeah. 700 surprise.
Because, yeah, I'm surprised youhadn't picked the Jews.
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't have Judas Priest.

(01:03:47):
My bad, Iron Maiden. But the fact that Judas Priest
hasn't been on #1 #2 can we justtalk about, like, the 16 minutes
that Cheese and Crackers, Like it's 16 minutes long.
I had the physical copy of Cheese and Crackers, yeah.
Same. Yeah, spent like probably every
bit of $19.00 on a 16 minute skate video and would have spent
double. Yeah, that is the coolest. 16

(01:04:08):
minutes of content that I've seen in a long time from a
skate. Perspective packed skate video.
Just ridiculous. Yeah, those two dudes skating
Mini was. So good.
Yeah, absolutely insane. That was like from from what you
and you mentioned it already, Don what like what?
Yeah, right, started continued through basically like what

(01:04:30):
2010? Maybe not that there aren't
great videos after there are, but there there was like 2000
three 2010 was just like this isthe fucking unreal skate videos.
Production kept going up, the parts kept going up.
Everything was pushed to be better and better and better or
interesting concept for the video or like you know, like
cheese and crackers, for example.
Like it's like no other video looks like that or is like that.

(01:04:53):
It's great. It's really good, only have one
song left that isn't going to break a rule so fingers crossed
we make it through another rotation and I don't get screwed
because I've got one song left. Otherwise I have more songs but
all that break rules. Yeah, this is not the first time
I've had this thought, but it's the first time I'm saying it out

(01:05:14):
loud. Do you think that after so they
they carved cheese and the titlecheese and crackers out of
blocks of cheese. Do you think they those after
they took the photos? God, I hope so.
I hope so, I would hate to see it go to waste.
Do you think because somebody's grubby hands was all over it
that they didn't eat it? I feel that same way about
Edible Arrangements. Do you?

(01:05:36):
Like just people actually eat these?
Yeah, like do people. Yeah.
Like once everybody is finger fucked my fruits, do I still
have to, like, eat them? Once everybody's carved them
into flowers and shit like that.Like, you know, it got warm when
they were farting around with itand then they threw it back in
the fridge. Like now I got sweaty fruits.
Yeah, that's. Called the holy fruit.

(01:05:56):
That's it. What I didn't know.
You get the main course. I don't know.
I'm nervous about it all the time.
How many Edible arrangements have you been sent?
Yeah, that's a great. Question, Sarah, beautiful
arrangements have you gotten done?
I too many to know that I don't want I I'm not in a rush to eat
them. You know what?

(01:06:17):
You're shit on that. But nobody's ever, ever sent me
an Edible Arrangement and I, I, you're, you should feel loved.
Nobody's ever loved me enough tosend me fruit in the mail.
Nobody's. Nobody's ever loved you enough
to send you warm fruits. Warm fruits.
Yeah. Oh my God.
God, I can. I feel like you can kind of get

(01:06:38):
the you get kind of get the fruit slimes from them after
they've been kind of touched toomany times.
I'm in a hard what? Kind of fruits, are we?
Is it? Is it?
It's a lot of melon, I'm guessing like strawberries.
Heavy melons, heavy melons, heavy pineapples.
They're strawberries that you know, and they do a bunch of
carvings, you know, they turn them into shit.
Do you think they're not wearinggloves while they do?

(01:06:58):
That, I mean, sure, they're wearing gloves man, but they've
sat out on the counter and make they've, it's been fondled too
much. Keep your fingers off my fucking
fruit. What if somebody sent you a
deviled egg bouquet though? Different story.
Different story. Yeah.
We're approaching, we're approaching Thanksgiving at the
time of recording. I'm so excited because our

(01:07:21):
Thanksgiving, one of the people brings like so many deviled eggs
and they're so fucking good. And so I'm that is what I'm most
looking forward to on Thanksgiving.
When you say so many, do you mean just like the quantity or
like different flavors of deviled eggs?
There's like, we'll go through aplatter and then we'll be like
sad. And then they'll run out to the

(01:07:42):
garage fridge. Everybody knows what a garage
fridge is. They'll run out to the garage
fridge, get the like the second or the third platter and it's
like everybody re energized. We're back.
Deviled eggs, baby. They're good on them for
refrigerating that second platter, too.
I mean, there's a third and maybe.
Funny, there's a funny viral video and I'm going to do my

(01:08:02):
damnedest to find it for you guys of like this dude that's
responsible for cleaning up houses.
Like, he's like, he's obviously cleaning out like old abandoned
houses or like he's getting houses ready for estate sales.
And you see him like wandering through this house and he starts
to like, film around this house.And there's like a stack of
deviled egg trays. And like, as he's filming, there

(01:08:24):
are thousands of deviled egg trays in this house that is
just, it's just trays for deviled egg.
And at one point in time, he says they had deviled eggs,
trays for deviled eggs days. I don't know what his favorite
holiday was, but just in case you ever needed a deviled egg
tray, we got you dog all day when we ain't got deviled egg

(01:08:49):
trays for deviled egg days. It plays in my head once a week.
Just this clip of this guy looking around the house in like
thousands of deviled egg trays in this house.
They had deviled egg trays for deviled egg days.
It's I'm going to do everything I can to find it.
That's a tongue twister, man. It's a tongue twister.

(01:09:09):
I also want to know like what kind of like deviled eggs is
this person making it that they need thousands of like how are
they doing like pickled with a little bit of dill in it or are
they going I saw. Video the other day or somebody
dipped before they before they put the filling back in, they
dipped it in Tahin then put the filling in, which obviously had
some stuff in it too with like ajalapeno on there and like

(01:09:31):
pickled onion. And I'm like, get the fuck out
of here with that. Oh, and a slice of bacon.
It was like a like a michelada doubled egg or something.
I'm like, get the fuck out of here with that.
Feed it to me right now. It's deviled eggs you can really
do so much with. Here's what's gonna happen.
OK, Rod, do whatever you need todo.
It's been sent to both of your Instagrams.

(01:09:52):
I'm going to suggest you both watch it and then we'll
reconvene in a second. OK, sounds good.
Can do. You have to listen with the
audio. If you don't have the audio on,
you need to turn the audio up. Because his narration of what he
the narration of what he's seeing is one of the funniest
parts. This is crazy.
You've seen all the deviled egg trays.

(01:10:13):
There's just more. There's just more.
He's open in cabinets. And there's more deviled egg
trays. Yeah, God.
Damn. He says something like, I think
this guy's mainly on an egg based diet.
Primarily. Like.
My man has primarily egg based diet.
Yeah. That's too many egg trays.
I got to say it. No, that's the right quantity of

(01:10:33):
egg. Trays.
Too many egg trays. That's the right amount of egg
trays. This is not.
We just went we've had deviled. Egg talk, You just went, Yeah,
this is not the first time we'vehad deviled egg talk on this
podcast, by the way. I'm here for it.
We could do maybe it maybe it needs its own music segment for
every time we talk about deviledeggs or just that guys voice for
any time deviled eggs comes up. Songs you can eat deviled eggs

(01:10:56):
too. Songs you could devil an egg
too, yeah. Yeah, they should just have
songs that start like Devil WentDown in Georgia, like only songs
that start with Devil or that have Devil involvement.
You know you're crushing it right now.
I'm a big fan of this or egg. They can have my egg.
So I'm the I'm the walrus. I'm the Eggman.
Yeah, I always thought the Egg Eggman song with Beatles, and

(01:11:19):
then I actually recently Googledthat, like this week.
Isn't it somebody else? Beatles.
Beatles. That's I remember Walrus is the
song. Yeah, songs called I Am the
Walrus. Somebody else may have also done
an Eggman song, but that is Beatles.
There must have been another There must have been another
song that I did that I googled recently and I think I missed.

(01:11:43):
I thought it was the same as I Am the Egg Man, but it was a
different one. Fuck, what was that?
I don't know, I. Don't know either, what a time.
All right, so my third pick, this is the last of the picks
that was in my top four originally because I had a
couple steals here. So this kind of goes to that
whole idea of learning about artists through skate videos.

(01:12:04):
And I to this day only know thisartist from skate videos.
They are in a lot of them and I know nothing else about them.
I even tried to look them up andI their Wikipedia has almost
almost no information. The video is another Kreil tap
brand. We're going to go chocolate tour
from 1999. It's Mike Carroll's part.

(01:12:24):
The artist is Andre Nickatina and the song is Crack Raider
Razor. Food stamp a boy didn't tramp A
vamp Willa beat with the Kenwoodamp focus like a camera keep
your eyes on the birdie because you did not get but I still
wrote dirty razor sharp crack Raider razor Raider shark crack

(01:12:46):
Raider Raider razor shark. And please tell me you guys know
this part or know this song. I don't.
No, Andre Nickatina is a rapper.It's like a 90s kind of like
boom backing. It's almost like Wu Tang
sounding at times. And he's in so many.
He has songs in so many skate videos, like if you just type in

(01:13:06):
Andre Nickatina in that skate video site, so many.
And have you ever heard of him? Have either of you ever heard of
Andre Nickatina? No, no, no.
Only people who apparently have are skaters because like, I get
the sense, and I don't know this, I'm guessing, but I get
the sense that like at some point somebody put one of these
songs on a skate video a bunch of other skaters watched.

(01:13:29):
It was like, that's dope. And then started listening to
Andre Nickatina and then puttinghim in more and more skate
videos. I half expected it to say
something on the guy's Wikipediabecause it's a really small
Wikipedia. He obviously never got huge.
He's still. He's still around.
He's still rapping. He's from San Francisco.
He's got 335,335,000 monthly listeners.

(01:13:50):
It's kind of a. Lot he's not he's not small, but
like you've never heard of him, like you know what I mean?
Like he's not mainstream big rapper.
He also might be friends with the guys because if he's from
the Bay with that's where Mike and like everybody came from,
so. Yeah, possibly.
I also wondered if he was part of like hieroglyphics clue crew,
which he's not, at least not according to this Wikipede.

(01:14:11):
Like I wondered if he was just part of that Bay Area scene.
Again, I tried to do research onthis guy because I I know this
song. When I saw how many of his other
songs the song is, I got to makesure it's a bit of a tongue
twister for me. It's called Crack Raider Razor.
And yeah, and it's also, you know, Mike Carroll's just
awesome. So he crushes this part.

(01:14:33):
But the songs, the songs dope too.
And going going 19th or going 20th century back to 1999 with
this one. I.
Also, I also think like that's something we haven't touched on
too, is when a skaters part is like so perfectly them that it
encompasses like what's a song or like artist that's from their
like hometown. Ohh, good call.

(01:14:54):
Yeah, I didn't even think about the hometown connection.
I was thinking more of like the content of this, like I like the
hip hop made sense. But even like the content of the
song, like the crack Raider razor, like the whole
connotation in the song is aboutbeing like sharp and crisp and
all this stuff. And like you're watching Mike
Carroll like laying these like crazy crispy tricks.
Like they're just like legit, like everything is just like
nailed down and it's just a dopesong.

(01:15:19):
And I think I've already talked.I talked to a couple people too,
Sarah, like hit up a couple people and was like, hey, what?
What are standout parts in your memory too?
Just to make sure I wasn't like forgetting anything.
And this is when I brought up toa friend and they were like
instantly, as soon as I said it,they just started singing that
chorus. And I was like, OK, you got it.

(01:15:39):
So it's not just me, but. Is that you trying to show that
you have some St. cred? It's the one place I had St.
cred. This is the only part that I had
any St. cred at all on this. I love that.
You know, there's this one person.
Basically, I had to check myself, you know?
That's great. Got to come off as an expert on

(01:15:59):
here. I love that.
Man. I wish I had somebody to bring
me bagels. Sir, what the fuck?
Yeah, bagel delivery. You never got a fucking Edible
Arrangement. Nope, no edible arrangements.
Only thing I've ever had. Somebody did mail me a
Illuminati's pizza once after I moved away from Chicago, which
but they didn't bother asking isif it was a deep dish I liked
because then they would have learned it was not one that I

(01:16:21):
liked. What was on the?
Shaded Anyway, it was a pepperoni one, which, First off,
they're known for their sausage.That's their thing.
Yeah. It's a whole Patty of sausage on
the top. It's.
A whole It's an entire 1 Patty of sausage across the top of the
pizza. Yeah.
Some real Chicago shit, I know. Wow.
Shout out Shane Deegan for introducing me to Illuminati's.

(01:16:43):
It's the it's the it's the leastshitty of of the Chicago deep
dish tourist pizza. I would agree with that of the
chain big chain tour see spots it's it's the right one to go
to. Or just go to one of the shitty
chain spots and go. If you really want deep dish
there's other spots in Chicago. Or just get a bar pie.
Get a Tavern style. Tavern style.

(01:17:05):
It's over to Sarah for her finalpick.
It's the last one, Sarah. Oh.
Can I say one thing real quick? Sorry, I would love to mention
this. I would love for you to say one
thing, yeah. Go for it.
You mentioned the production earlier, Don, and you're right,
I think, yeah, right. Really upped their production.
But Chocolate Tour from 1999 hasa fucking incredible.
There's two different storylinesthat run through it and they're

(01:17:26):
so good. It's all the skaters as old, old
folks in an old folks home beinglike abused by like the guys,
very Happy Gilmore esque in thatway.
Like they're kind of being abused by the guy that works
there and they're just reliving their old skate days.
That's fucking funny. And then there's this other part
where they're scamming and I can't remember who's doing that
part. I don't know if you remember

(01:17:46):
Sarah, but like 2 of the skaterslike scamming people.
So they're like they're like don't want to do this demo, but
they still want to get paid. So one of them like they've got
a dummy and they're like fake aninjury.
I think if I'm remembering correctly, take him to the like
have to leave to take him to thehospital, but he's not actually
hurt or something like that. And they're just getting, I
don't remember there's some kindof scam through line, but
there's like a storyline. There's like 2 separate

(01:18:09):
storylines in it in between the skate videos.
And again, Spike Jones was involved in this one.
So he just, you know, so he's the, we like the Krill Tap
brands. He likes the Krill Tap brands
just. Yeah, I think krill tap bands.
Yeah, that's right. He does own them.
So was was Vince Vaughn in? He wasn't in this, was he?

(01:18:33):
He was in a He was in a different.
He was in pretty sweet. Right.
Yeah, I think. Yeah, I think you're right.
You're really making me dig deepin my brain.
Sorry, I'm thinking. I don't know either so.
Yeah, we'll figure that out. All right, Sorry.
That's all. That was the thing I wanted to
say. No, yes.
Vince Vaughn is in. Well, OK, my last one it is.

(01:18:58):
It's a bit of a wild card, but II had so much fun picking this
one. The skater was actually in the
Chocolate Tour video too. So in 2002 Red Dragons produced
or made a video RDS slash FSU. Colin Mckay's part was to

(01:19:20):
Rasputin Club remix. It was a shame

(01:19:48):
how we carry on. I cannot say enough wonderful
things about this song because it is.
Shout out to my Taco Chat friends.
We love this song and we play itwhenever you need to like, like
bump up the hype in the moment. But for Collin's part, it's like
classic early 2000s skating debauchery.

(01:20:10):
If he starts it as a child, it'sjust incredible.
And having that, there's a lot of.
Silly antics as well as skate stuff. 100% they're doing like
beer bongs halfway through it yeah, but it's like it it's also
like vert skating like so much vert skating and it is just to
Bonnie M Rasputin club mix and. That's so funny.

(01:20:34):
If you don't know that song, getwith it, it's amazing.
I love. You guys know the club mix, but
do you think people don't know Rasputin?
Most people know the club mix. You know the club mix more than
you know the. Original.
I know. OK, Yeah.
And OK, also I love to the movieAnastasia so much as a child
that when I learned that like one that was like a semi true

(01:20:58):
ish story, but like I was like, oh, this song.
What's it called? Rasputin?
You mean like the guy that triedto do Anastasia so dirty?
Yeah. That's all around.
Just incredible song. But it scratched every itch it
got. It got it all you got.
We got a reference to a friend group.
We've got a great skate part. We've got a great vintage.

(01:21:21):
Not Disney. Disney, We've got it all.
Fantastic and a great and just agreat song you want to sing.
I want to sing the the part for everybody.
Sarah see if they know it. No, Rod, you're our.
You're our. You're our signature singer on
the song. Go ahead, sing it for us, Rod.
No. You always do.
I'm tired of being the only one that sings on these paws.

(01:21:42):
I'm not going to be your puppet and sing here.
That's funny. I'll dance to it though.
It's so. Good, it's a good one.
It's really good fun to have a little dance like a some disco
on here too. Yeah.
Yeah, great call. This is a very diverse no.

(01:22:02):
Turns out Boney M hasn't made ityet.
Yeah, turns out somebody slugo rides to a Backstreet Boys song
in this video. Yeah, OK, Slugo, honorable
mention. In the beginning, they call him
and they go, we found this song for your part.
And he goes, oh, what is it? And then they're like Backstreet
Boys. And he's like, fuck you guys, I

(01:22:25):
am not fucking skating to Backstreet Boys.
And then it starts the song and.It's fantastic.
Like watch the video. It's so fucking good and yeah,
it's incredible. Bangers for one video that.
Stand the just in time. I will absolutely go back and
watch this. This sounds like this sounds
great. This sounds like everything I

(01:22:45):
want out of a skate video. I love the antics, I love the
skits I love. I love all of it.
Yeah, yeah, it's great. Sweet.
I also love the packaging for this one.
Old VHS exclusive like you said.2002 red cardboard cover white
red Dragons logo on also. Coming out with Avhs only video
in 2002. Like I know there's still VHS
out there, but we are fully in DVD times in 2002.

(01:23:09):
Are we fully in DVD times? Yes, we are.
Like, I mean, they're still probably putting it.
Yeah, dude, I just saw somethingthe other day that like the very
last VHS that Universal ever putout was in 2003 I think.
So this is very much like the end of VHS.
So in this one, in this one video like talk about an array

(01:23:30):
of music. So they have Guns and Roses,
Warren G Regulate. They have Madonna Like a prayer.
I and I Don, which you've pickedbefore.
Yeah, the doors. Hey, yeah, you got Backstreet
Boys, the doors, like, Oh my God, Ozzy Osbourne, Cat Stevens.
Like somebody was just like hitting the shuffle button and

(01:23:52):
they had fun with it. Safety Dance.
Oh yeah, men with. Good bonus safety dance.
Nervous that. Wild.
Anyway, what a time. What a time to be alive, 2002.
I work with a lot of Canadians so this is like I see the I
still see the red dragon logo often, I'll put it that way.

(01:24:14):
Stoked. Stoked for them.
Yeah, it's a good logo, too. I mean little cultural
appropriety, but you know. Whatever.
Well, hey, let me tell you something.
My next pick ain't gonna do muchbetter in terms of logos because
it's gonna be Flip and it's gonna be Sorry from 2002, and
it's gonna be the team intro from Sorry, where it was the

(01:24:35):
Stooges. I want to be your dog.
We're gonna be. Face to.
Face. And lay right down in my
favorite place. And now I wanna be your dog.

(01:24:58):
Now I wanna be your dog. Which was the a really cool
phase of the Stooges when they were like a little bit stonesy,
you know, which was, which was pretty rad.
Better than the stones in my personal opinion.
Yeah, I I don't disagree. Great song.
Also have not had Iggy Pop or The Stooges on any mix tape.

(01:25:20):
No shit at this point. Nope, no Iggy Pop, no stooges,
no Iggy in the Stooges, nothing up to the top.
That's wild. It's crazy right?
702 ish songs. No no Iggy Pop at this point.
But yeah, bit of a problematic logo.
It still still is, Yeah, still no.
They probably changed it a bit now.

(01:25:40):
And what like flip? Yeah, what's problematic about
it? What's up going?
On Jimmy, I'm not following. It's not the logo on Sorry.
He's not talking about the TV. No, no, I'm talking about the
traditional flip logo, that it was like one of their escape
decks. There's a giant iron cross on it
like. Oh, yeah, No, that's bad.
Yeah. That's a bit problematic, yeah.
Yeah, that one isn't which. They're a British company,

(01:26:03):
right? Like they're sure isn't or the
guy who founded Flip is British.It's.
Ian Deacon. And then Jeff Raleigh was pretty
heavily involved in the beginning.
Yeah, Ian, where is it's? Still their logo, they just
removed the iron cross from it so I think they agree.
With you, yeah. They literally just extended the

(01:26:23):
eye up and it doesn't have the cross on it now.
So I think somebody was like. Give up on them.
Somebody's like, probably a bad call.
I mean, Indy got rid of it, too.They got rid of it.
Yeah. Yeah, A. 100%, I mean, good on,
good on them. Maybe should have been a bit
sooner all around. Maybe somebody else should have
liked that out a little sooner. But yeah, anyway, yeah.

(01:26:44):
Another. Just.
Another super classic skateboardvideo, but also stoked that you
picked the Stooges dude because that like just that old school
kind of like punk rock adjacent.And I loved when when some
companies got a little skate video lazy, like sorry and then
really sorry and extremely sorry.
Like I love like the Baker 1 Baker 2 Baker three, I love like

(01:27:08):
a lazy approach towards skate videos.
Like, we're not really going to go too hard on the names, but
the video parts are still going to be fucking awesome.
So that was another good one. I remember both sorry and really
sorry just being fucking awesome.
Yeah, this one, this is one of the videos I write I have pretty
strong memories of. So I did go back and look at

(01:27:29):
this one and I, I would have picked something off this, but
my most memorable moments on this video, I've already like
it's got a Placebo song every you every me, which I believe
I've picked that song on this podcast before.
It's got Lou Reed song that I'vedefinitely picked on this pod
before. It's got a prodigy song.
And you know how I love prod like this.
This video was big. Like I loved this video.

(01:27:49):
I just there was too much on here that I'd already picked,
which is good 'cause you picked the Stooges, which is probably
the right pick actually. Which has not made a mixtape.
Yeah. So we've soaked on that one.
David Bowie too. Yep, Bowie's on here.
Yeah, it's a good one. Gray Matter is on here.
It's awesome. Couple Bowie songs.
Oh yeah, all. Right, All right, my turn.

(01:28:11):
Last pick. Yep.
So we haven't, I mentioned it earlier, but we haven't talked
about 411 Video magazine yet or do those kind of skate videos.
Yes, they do. Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, of course. Yeah, 100%.
Did either of you have 411 VideoMagazine subscriptions?
I did not, no. I did not, however.
My that was the number one biggest contributor of skate

(01:28:33):
content. Number 2 was Thrasher and then
#3 was Transworld. That makes sense, So.
Yeah. And 1st off, the idea of a video
magazine brilliant because they really were like they had the
advertise, like all these skate brands were producing
commercials for 411, just like you'd have a ad in a magazine,
but now it's like a video commercial.
And those were, of course, they were awesome too.

(01:28:55):
Like those were practically justas good as the skate parts is
like watching, you know, fuckingthe Osiris commercial or
whatever that comes out. I also did not have a
subscription but my friend did and he would basically when he
got tired of a tape he would either loan it to me or give it
to me. I think I wound up with like 5
or 6 of them that I just never gave back.
But this was a big part of like me getting into skating was 411

(01:29:18):
video magazines and they didn't really do skater parts right.
Like it was just mash ups of teams or skaters.
Like you weren't really getting like a fucking, you know,
whatever, like a Rodney Mullen part.
That was just him. But what they did have is they
had every issue had a profile which was like a skater talking
about themselves, talking about their background and then they

(01:29:38):
would skate. And so they that was the closest
they got. So I'm choosing it was a profile
section of 411 best of Volume 6,which is from 1999.
It was Jeff Rally's profile. And the song I'm going with is
Stiff Little Fingers at the Edge.

(01:30:15):
So it hits all the checkmarks for me.
I was a punk rock kid back then.To me, I associated punk rock
and skateboarding, even though, as we've illustrated, actual
skate videos are very diverse musically.
But back then, you know, like sophomore in high school, I
associated punk rock and skateboarding is all the same
thing. Jeff rally just an awesome dude,

(01:30:36):
awesome skateboarder. He's really young in this.
It's like he had just started skating professionally.
So thick, thick accent living his best life, you know, just
over in the states skating and he's, he's basically a kid in
this profile. And but it's it was Stiff Little
Fingers and there was 2 songs during the Spartan.

(01:30:57):
The one I'm going with is to float her fingers.
I think the other one was eitherSuicidal Tendencies or it was so
it was another like punk song. So.
And I was like instantly like that, that dude, you know what I
mean? I was like, I like this guy.
I like his style. I like that he's a little punk
rocker. And so yeah, plus I get to talk
about. That's awesome, 411.
Do you follow him much now? I don't, I don't follow a lot of

(01:31:19):
individual skaters anymore like on social media or whatever,
like if I see them, you know, like also watch some skate
videos sometimes or parts. But no, I don't really follow
him. So he does still skate a bit,
not as much as he used to, but now he owns a brand called Civil
Wear, where if you haven't checked that out, you need to go
check out Civil Wear. It's like knives and like

(01:31:41):
outdoor apparel and like all sorts of cool like outdoor
lifestyle shit. And then he is a guide for big
game hunting, like really for like wild fucking ram hunting
and shit like that. And it's like sponsored by Yeti
and like fucking takes people onLonghorn ram hunting trips and

(01:32:03):
shit like that. It's.
Wild. Some of the like the post
skating lives that some of thesedo, yeah.
Absolutely insane. Like I could see the other.
David. Corvette doing that too, because
like he's he's a big fly Fisher and so like I could see him
doing like fly fishing like company and because he's
sponsored by a bunch of like flyfishing companies too.

(01:32:25):
Well, like there and there's like all these skaters are doing
golf stuff now. So that's that's a whole, I
guess, like opposite of the outdoor world, but maybe not.
But like all these dudes are doing like Malbond stuff or
launching golf companies now andit's nuts.
Dagnasty was the other song, notSuicidal Tendencies, but Oh
yeah, there we go. That's the mix tape.

(01:32:46):
Honorable Mentions. Oh Christ, most of mine are
fucking repeats. Taken already.
Yeah, well. It's Sarah.
You go first. Yeah, Sarah, what else did you
have on the list you didn't get to pick?
First first one's very recent. It is from The Dickies video
Honeymoon and that was 2024. Shout out to my Dickies family,

(01:33:08):
Joe Face and Sam. But it's Dylan Yebs part.
I hope I'm saying his last name right?
I'm probably not I'm so dyslexic.
But it's a Charlotte Gainsbourg song.
Deadly Valentine. And like when I say like this
was one of those things where like when I heard the song for
the first time, I instantly Shazam Ed it like I was like, I

(01:33:30):
love this song. What is it?
And then I listened to it on repeat for probably like 20
days. Yeah, it was.
It's the it's the that introduced me to the artist
itself. Dylan skates incredibly.
He's like, dude, he's crushing it.
Just one Do you want to throw out a couple more?
Oh no, I have another one. I didn't.

(01:33:51):
I forgot which order we were doing this.
OK, My second honorable mention is for a few parts, Alexis
Sablone in PJ Ladd's Wonderful Horrible Life in 2002.
Her song was Mambo Italiano Honestly.
That's great. I'm Italian, I love Alexis so
and also that part like that's so good.

(01:34:13):
Alexis shout out. She just she just had an
ethically later come out too. Highly recommended if you have
the time to watch it. She's just an incredible person
having this part come out like she just crushes it.
And so yeah, had had to put thatone on there too.
Those are my honourable mentions.
That's great. I had I did the Gypsy King song

(01:34:33):
from Pretty Sweet but I was. I also had Merciful Fate Gypsy
on there as well. Another Gypsy song by Merciful
Fate. We have not had any King Diamond
or Merciful Fate on the mixtapesyet.
That's not true. King Diamond on the spooky
season episode. Wait.
You just did this. That's right, we did just take
King Diamond on. My bad.
OK cool. Transworld in bloom.

(01:34:54):
I had Mötley Crüe kick start my heart.
I myself had picked that one in the past so couldn't do that
one. Wanted to do another Zero movie
and then I was going to do Dyingto Live for the second time, but
it was Chris Cole again and it was going to be Renegade by Styx
which which? Zero movie.
Was that on? Dying to live?
Oh, don't you said, don't you said it.
I'm sorry. Yep, and then I refused to

(01:35:16):
fucking pick them because of howmuch of a giant piece of shit
Dustin Dolan is. But fucking Nick Cave.
The Bad Seeds from the Vulcan video where it was mercy Seat,
but I I refuse for that dude to get any kind of accolade in any
setting. So yeah.
Great song though. All right, I had what was the

(01:35:40):
two that kind of got stolen or Icouldn't pick were any of the
Justice songs from Pretty sweet.So Justice hasn't been on and I
love, you know, it's a great band.
And then I was going to pick theInterpol song obstacle one from
yeah right, the Brian Anderson part.
So those who got stolen, Interpol's not been on yet.
And then the other honorable mentions I had.

(01:36:01):
I also had a Chris Cole part from Cold War in 2013.
So Power Slave from Iron Maiden.Fucking that part rips.
That song is perfect for Chris Cole.
I had Pete Rock and Seal Smooth Camp front on me from Santa Cruz
Days of Our Lives all the way back in 1993.
I definitely didn't watch this in 1993, but Chet Thomas was my

(01:36:22):
first ever favorite skater. And so I kind of went back and
watched Chet Thomas's old skate parts and this old Santa Cruz
video He skates to this Pete Rock and Seal Smooth song.
It's awesome. It's just an awesome part.
He's really young. I was a big Chet Thomas fan
growing up so. Great shoe.
Great. Fucking shoe dude that.
Great globe puffy shoe. Was it the first like really

(01:36:44):
chunky tech shoe? Like it wasn't the first chunky
shoe, but it was also like that chunky but like tech, you know
what I'm talking. Techie had like all the dude.
I don't know if it was the first, but it was one of the
first. I still remember like the
threat, the trans. I don't think I had Thrasher
Transworld ads for that shoe. Yeah, great.
You and. Then the only other one I had
and I wanted to call this out 'cause this.

(01:37:05):
I went back and watched this movie because I remember loving
it and it is gorgeous. But this music is kind of lame a
little bit. But stay Gold from 2010.
I knew it was. Kind of lame.
Andrew Reynolds part it's EdwardSharpe and the Magnetic zeros.
It's Om Nashi Me is the name of the song, which you wouldn't it
which you would recognize the song I didn't recognize from the

(01:37:27):
title, but great, gorgeous, beautifully shot skating.
But the music's kind of meh. I agree.
It's all kind of one note. It's not that the songs
individually are bad songs like Tom Waits great, Dead Meadows,
dope like Mata Hoople's great whatever, but like it's all kind
of just this like same level audio.

(01:37:51):
It's it's also John Minor did incredible videos for America
for years. Like he's one of those other
ones that's like, just incredible.
Yeah. I and like I said, it's
beautiful but. Yeah, I'm, I'm looking over the
list that I originally pulled from and I did have, I had from
Zero Dying to live. I had The Proclaimers for John

(01:38:12):
Rattray. That one was on there had a shot
where for the year that he won Sodi from the Nike Chronicles 2
video 2013 death politicians in my mind.
And that one was really interesting because like I
wouldn't have guessed it for a shod and like his previous parts
were James Brown and real 1 and MG JB and yeah, and Fat Joe.

(01:38:39):
That's right. He had Fat Joe and wear and
tear. But yeah, like I don't know.
That was another one of those that was just really interesting
skater versus like song and then.
How much how much say do do you think they're picking their own
song or it's like a joint decision like.
No, I would think they'd pick their own song.
You'd think so, but yeah. It, it depends, it truly

(01:39:01):
depends. There's some video parts where,
yeah, 100% they're picking theirsong.
And then there are other video parts like SLEGO and the Red
Dragon thing where the filmers like, no, this is what part
you're getting or this is what song you're getting.
And nowadays there's so much in licensing, like if you don't get
a song, like, I mean, people arebusting out parts so quickly and

(01:39:21):
it's like if you don't have yoursong like approved by the date
that you need to release it by, like there's so much dumb back
end stuff that goes on. So yeah, I think that's, yeah,
there's a lot of like approval bullshit that even that we go

(01:39:42):
through, but yeah, done. Do you want to read the list
already? What?
Yeah, for sure. I also wanted to take, I wanted
Antoine Dixon and Baker. Three had a notorious BG song
and I wanted to pick him becauseof the story that I had
wandering around the streets of Salt Lake City, UT of him trying
to drop kick street signs. But we'll pass on that for now.

(01:40:02):
We'll say that one for another time.
I'm suppose Baker 3 didn't come up though until.
I mean, it didn't he brought up but.
Yeah. List is as follows.
Latigre, Decepticon. Gypsy Kings Hotel California M83
Lower your Eyelids to Die with the Sun.
DMX. What's my name?
Children of Bodum. Triple Corks.
Hammer Blow. Hammer blow.

(01:40:23):
I think that's what it was. Massive Attack.
Teardrop Purity Ring. Ungirthed.
Judas Priest. The Stealer.
Andre Nicotina track Raider, Razor, but I think it's only two
names. When I looked it up, I think
it's only two. Either way, Bony M, Rasputin,
The Club Mix, specifically The Stooges, I want to Be Your Dog

(01:40:44):
and Stiff Little Fingers at the Edge.
That's all 12 songs, Sarah. Put them in the right order.
Don't mess it. Up.
Wait, I have to put them in the right order.
Shit. Yeah, not right now, but like in
life, you're going to put them in the right order and send it
back to us. Got it.
OK, great. Thank you.
Don't mess up on the spot. Thank you.
Shit. Do a good job.

(01:41:06):
So we didn't even talk about Mike's order.
You didn't look at it, did you? There was such a debate over who
was going to have the lead off song.
What song did he let off with? I hope it was first of the
month. It was not 1st of the month.
Then he fucked up. It was not.
It was not. It was not Montel Jordan either,
though. Then he double fucked up.
Then he blew it twice. Spider webs.

(01:41:27):
Even with spider webs. Actually, he blew it a third
time when he didn't show up to the big state the first time.
Yeah, you open with spiders. Incredible.
You guys did great. How to?
Make mix tape. Sarah, this has been fun it.
Has been fun. Sarah, will you get more pottery

(01:41:50):
for sale on Lenny's pots so we can buy shit from you?
Yeah, I'll send you DMS, OK? Thank you.
I like to buy your ceramic giventhe.
Opportunity. Some ceramics in my life.
How to make a mixtape swag? Can't wait to see it.
I need some ceramics in my life.Like all I have is like store
