That's right.
Allegedly Allegedly I'm notsure who alleged this, but it's
been alleged.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
It has been alleged.
It's the word on the streets.
That's what they say Sometimes.
You know words can be used tocreate a presence.
You know if you're in a bandper se or even just a musician.
You know your name.
Your name can bring like alittle extra oomph to your push
(00:53):
as an artist, getting yourselfout there, whether it be shock
value or some deep emotionalconnection.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
What did you say?
Your name was Moredo LudaSchneebacker.
Indeed, I mean, you hearImmortal Technique and it's like
, okay, I'm gonna at least givethis a listen, because they're
clever enough to have a badassmoniker.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Yeah, I agree with that statement, my friend, I
believe like one of my favoritenames in rap, hip-hop, whatever
Is Equipto, and most of you guysprobably don't know who he is.
Maybe you do, I don't know I is, maybe do, I don't know?
I hope so, but uh, he's a bayarea rapper from san francisco
and I just love the names.
Like he's equipped, he's readyto go, I don't know.
(01:33):
Quipto, it's like one of thosenames, very equipped badass,
rapper as well.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Oh yeah, a japanese yeah anyone that's doing stuff
with king nicky.
You know they gotta be A.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Japanese.
Yeah, yup, on point.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, man for sure.
Oh, you know what else is?
Dope as fuck is Octopus gummiesfrom From France, oh, yeah.
When I told them that I'dordered them, colt thought that
they were actually like Jelliedoctopus.
I'm like, no, it's like a gummybear, but it's an octopus.
When I told them that I'dordered them, cole thought that
they were actually like jelliedoctopus or something.
I'm like, no, it's like a gummybear, but it's an octopus.
He's like I don't know, you eatsome weird shit.
Yeah, I was like okay.
(02:12):
Anyhow, tangent, first tangentof this episode yeah, here we go
.
But I was just eating somethingright when Cole called Nice.
Let me explain myself.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
That's okay, I suppose, hey.
So nonetheless, I guess wedecided we were just going to
tell you guys some bizarre bandnames and just take it from
there.
There's really no explanation,but the point is these people
picked these names, became atleast above.
Locally successful was kind ofthe goal.
Nobody that started a garageband and never toured.
(02:48):
You know we're not going thatdeep because that would be
ridiculous, but nonetheless, youknow, being as it is coming
into the summer months and youknow, out there on the coast,
out on the west coast, here, Ibelieve, in California, people
surf, don't they?
Owen?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Indeed, they do.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I've never been, but yeah, Neither have I actually.
I've never even boogie boarded.
I've done that Really All right.
Yeah, that's badass.
My friend, I admire youraccomplishments in life.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
It was like 1987 when I watched a VHS probably shitty
movie, but yeah, it was funyeah.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Well, nonetheless, surfing and boogie boarding and
all these things, and these guysaren't from California but they
like to go by butthole surfers.
So anyway, I do remember seeingthese guys on like MTV and
whatever, and the name reallylike struck me, as I don't want
to listen to you.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
No kidding.
And then the funny part of it Idid read that before they were
famous.
I guess it was at some.
Yeah, I guess this is how theygot the name.
That's not what they went byand whoever introduced them on
stage Said butthole surfers.
And they like decided to stickwith it.
(04:05):
Like what the fuck Like whatkind?
Of drug?
Did these guys know?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Oh, probably a lot, you know it's, but why not Like?
It must have been a pretty goodsized show, and so they got
some notoriety and they're likewell, fuck, I guess we're
surfing buttholes guys.
Whatever, you know, I don'tknow, but hey, you know, they
did get.
They did have some popularity,bro.
Like I said, they're on MTV andthey're from Texas.
They are labeled as apsychedelic punk band.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, Sorry, A less vulgar name.
That's also interesting.
They might be giants.
Oh, I remember them.
Yeah, and one of the coolthings apparently they just
liked the name.
I don't know why.
They were looking at a list ofpossible ventriloquist names,
but that's where they got thename.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
That's a good one, bro man.
I'm happy for you, Ellen,You're doing some good research
here.
I didn't see that shit.
Were they like kind of a skaband or something Sort of?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
No, I think it was like sort of indie rock.
I remember, god, you'drecognize Someone as a.
So I'm not.
I'm not very familiar withtheir works, but I remember not
hating it.
Yeah, Once again ringingendorsement from the positive
neck.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yeah for sure, bro, You're doing great.
You're doing great.
You know one group band theseseem to be a lot of rock bands
here.
Guys, I don't know what's goingon, the one that I think kind
of stands out, but I don't knowwhat the F.
But Def Leppard is a okay right, like what's going on there.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Owen, I don't know and spelled like most deaf too.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah well, apparently the singer, joe Elliot, thought
of the name Def Leppard whilehe was in school, presumably
while failing something.
This article from Cracked saysthe spelling was later changed
so the band didn't becomeconfused with punk bands, who
are known for their flawlessspelling, of course.
Yeah, no, it's pretty stupid.
(06:17):
They don't even have like areal explanation.
I actually tried to look intothis a little bit afterwards,
but he was just like a deafleopard, I don't know.
So isn't that the?
Isn't that the band that has,like the one arm drummer or
something like that?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Well, it has nine arms and sucks.
I don't know, my friend Deafleopard.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Oh no.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Sorry.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
All right, apparently , that guy is not a very good
person either, so I don't feelbad about making fun of that.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
No, yeah, it's like domestic violence even.
Yeah.
So normally I would not makefun of somebody that has a
disability like that, yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
It's a good joke.
It is a good joke, hey, another, just random one that's kind of
like okay, guys, this Puddle ofMud.
I remember them from the 90s.
Yeah, During a 1993 MissouriRiver flood it left the band's
practice basically all rainedout and muddy and fucked up and
(07:20):
they couldn't really practice.
They thought, well, they justwent ahead and went with it and
apparently that's where they gotPuddle of Mud from.
So at least it has an originstory.
Some of these seem reallyridiculous where you're like,
what the even fuck are you guysthinking?
I'm still confused about DefLeppard.
I don't like that, I don't evenknow.
(07:41):
You know, that's so weird.
One band name that's.
You know, just off the cuff Ifeel some stuff about these guys
, but like the Dead Kennedys,it's not a funny one, it's very
controversial.
And dang, what a powerfulchoice of a name there.
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, I love Dead Kennedy.
I don't really listen, butespecially in my teenage angst
and you know, Right, Just riledup, it's like and it is great.
I mean it's super Honestly,it's similar to Mortal Technique
in like the message andeverything.
Yeah.
Yeah, they were very, verycontroversial.
They battled censorship.
(08:23):
I don't think we brought themup in the censorship episodes.
Shame on us.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Yeah, no shit.
Yep, yeah, the famous song isabout boston, correct?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
not that I know of.
Oh, what is that?
Uh, holiday in cambodia, superfamous uh mtv, get out the air,
they have some.
They were, yeah, definitely,yeah definitely, like um, a
thorn in the side of politesociety yeah, that sounds about
(08:56):
right.
They're very punk, my friendyeah, real, real, not pop punk.
Uh, interesting, a man bornMarvin Lee Adé.
I don't know if I'm saying thatright.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Who once balloon to 320 pounds, is a well-known,
more well-known as meatloaf.
Oh, do you know where that namecame from?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
No, I have no idea, but the loaf has been a part of
my life because in the late 80s,early 90s, you would see a lot
of him mixed in with popularmusic.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
unfortunately, True, I mean God rest, but no, so I
guess he was born bright red andhis father said he looked like
Ground Chuck, so they called himMeat and then he would adopt
the loaf later.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Oh, my goodness, oh man, that's actually kind of
funny.
Hey, at least that hassomething behind it.
Though this is interesting, myfriend.
I did not know that At all.
Actually, one of the ones thatcame up for rappers is old dirty
bastard, and I can't argue withthat.
Owen, it's bizarre, it'sfucking brilliant.
(10:10):
Yeah, it's fantastic.
I'm a big ODB fan.
Shout out to his son, b Varsonas well.
Friend of the show.
Hopefully one day.
Nonetheless, yeah, old DirtyBastard, that's a great name, I
feel I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
How about the Squirtle Nut Zippers?
What Sure.
I'm not familiar with the works, but apparently I'm just
waiting to get this one.
I think it's just called theMethod.
No association with the Methodman, but Method Shop, I think.
So I'm just going to readtheirs directly, because it's
(10:48):
pretty fucking good.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Okay, do you have the ?
Where is it from?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Method.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Oh sorry, sorry, sorry, you were talking about
Method man and it just gotconfusing.
I'm kind of stumbling.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
So Squirrel Nut Zippers, a band known for their
eclectic mix of jazz, swing andfolk, derived their name from an
old-fashioned candy.
The band members were inspiredby the Squirrel Nut Caramel
Company's Squirrel Nut Zipperscandy, which itself had a
nostalgic, quirky charm.
According to them.
It sounds bizarre but zippersyeah, I'm glad I I did, you know
(11:22):
, looked at a lot of differentsites and I figured I'd give
these guys credit, because otherother stuff I just like read it
and then did it my own words,but uh, yeah, yeah, I would be
scared to see what come up onthe internet if you search net
zippers, guys.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Yeah, it doesn't sound like anything good could
come of that.
No, that translated wrong.
I mean like it's from adifferent era, obviously the
candy, but it doesn't sound likeI'd be partaking in.
No, no, yeah, there's one thatI don't have any background on
this, but there's a couple ofthese names that apparently
they're big and something, butone is Disease Factory.
(11:57):
That's a hell of a name for aband.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Trying not to pick her up at the bar, I guess.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
The singer's name is Velvet Acid, velvet Acid Christ.
Anyway, another one behind thatis Sharon Needles.
That was another one.
It's spelled like Sharon, likeS-H-A-R-O-N, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Which did bring.
The band never got off theground, really.
But back in the day we'd jokeabout a garage band named
Morning Wood W-O-U-L-D.
Question mark yeah, all right,and Morning Wood W-O-U-L-D, yeah
, alright, I haven't lost thatchildlike sense of humor.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
No, we must keep it, or someone say juvenile.
Well you know, you gotta keepit moving.
Keep it moving, baby, keep itmoving.
Yeah, so um hmm.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
One that just extremely sucked.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Toad the Wet Sprocket oh my goodness, I remember
those guys too.
This is man.
The 90s was terrible.
Yeah Well, I just remember onMTV, man, mtv was a big part of
the 90s and 80s.
You know what I'm saying.
So that's what I remember.
But uh, can you name a songEven I can't off the top of my
head?
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I just Cause I looked at it.
It was like Walk on the Ocean,which is like Shouldn't be
allowed to be played inelevators and apparently like
the only cool thing about it isit's some homage to Monty Python
.
I don't remember any skit withsuch a thing, but it's still
(13:38):
fucking stupid.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Yeah, it says it comes from an Eric Idle
monologue on a Monty Pythonalbum.
Is what I just figured Rightnow.
Live guys.
Then the comment on this isthis, then is the musical
equivalent of the AB Club nerdswho recited the Knights who Say
Knee sketch over and over.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
That is a great fucking film, though, but I'm
not recreating it While I wasHourly or anything.
Thank you, very much.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I got something that's kind of odd.
You know who Russell Crowe is,right, yes, notorious, weirdo at
times and great actor, right,russell Crowe has been involved
in some weird things, not likesexual, I don't feel, but like
he beats people up or some shit,I don't know.
Sorry, I had to clarify becausewhen I say weird, you know,
(14:35):
when I started hearing myself,I'm like, yeah, he does some
weird stuff.
Guys like that could be likeanything.
I don't, I'm not trying to belike that.
No, I think I remember himgetting in like kind of he's
kind of rowdy at one point inhis life.
Anyway, so apparently he has aband, all right, of course.
So God bless, yeah, god bless.
Russell Crowe.
30 odd foot of grunts, that isa good guy.
(14:58):
Yeah, so they're.
They're like competing storiesfor what it is, but I don't know
, they just can't.
Nobody knows and it falls on alot of lists as the worst band
name ever, kind of like what theeven fuck guys?
Yeah, so I don't know, that'sweird.
But now we know that RussellCrowe has a weird band.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah, yeah.
Another odd choice, especiallya band from Athens, georgia Of
Montreal.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Oh wow, I've heard of that.
I don't know if it's because Iwas reading stuff about weird
band names or not, though I haveno clue who they are, I don't
think.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
No, I don't really care to.
I don't think I'm missing outon a life experience Somehow.
Oh no, fuck Illmatic, I listento these fucking podcasts.
I don't think I'm missing outon a life experience somehow.
Oh no, like.
Oh yeah, fuck Illmatic, Ilisten to these fucking.
I know nothing about these guys.
I'm sure they're very nicepeople, but, yeah, they're that
stupid name again.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah, hosier's from Canada.
That's kind of a weird name,but at least he's from Canada, I
feel.
I think that's like his reallast name.
It was like Hosier or somethinglike that.
I don't know, could be, I don'tknow.
I don't know much about him.
I know they sell his album atTarget, though.
Here's one that most people inthe US will know who these guys
(16:19):
are.
But Hootie and the Blowfish, ohgod, why, like what?
Yeah, so I guess he's justnicknamed Hootie because one of
his friends, darius Rucker, thelead singer so basically one of
his friends gave him thenickname because Darius Rucker,
(16:39):
the lead singer of Hootie andthe Blowfish, looked like an owl
, apparently, and he said thatthe two ugliest white guys on
campus was what the term I readwas in one of the things Looked
like a couple of blowfish.
So there you are.
Yeah, so there you are.
I don't have any problem withDarius Rucker.
Okay, guys, or the hoodie andthe blowfish I don't know about
(17:01):
the blowfish.
I'm like Scott Baio.
Oh my God, yeah, I'm like ScottBaio, never Scott Baio.
Oh my god, yeah, I'm like ScottBaio, never Scott Baio.
You know, one of the worstbands that's Relevantly newer
From the 90s.
That's not newer.
It's like the 60s when we werekids.
It's like 30 years ago,nonetheless, nickelback.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Maybe Nickelback thinks you suck.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Yeah, they probably do Apparently their name.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I don't remember that you sent me that video where
the guy was like, oh my.
God, I forgot about thatbanging on stuff and finally he
just got them.
Maybe Nickelback thinks yousuck, sorry.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I don't think, nickelback.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
That's okay.
That was yeah, oh, my goodness.
A detractor to your musical?
No, I doubt it, yeah fuck them,don't listen.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Chad Kroger apparently he was the lead
singer, anyway.
So the way they got their name,which is at least I guess it
came from somewhere.
But he used to work atStarbucks and when coffee was
$1.95, which everybody justbasically gave him $2, so he'd
always give them a nickel back.
So anyway, way to be clever.
Wow, that's about that's likethat reflects upon their music,
(18:10):
my friend.
That's kind of the constantcommentary is it's very pop rock
, you know, or whatever you wantto call it shit.
Nonetheless, everybody, what awonderful day.
I hope everybody's got goodplans for the summer.
It's coming up.
People, kids are almost out ofschool.
My daughter's graduating thisyear, which means I might you
(18:32):
know, if you want to support theshow, support the cause,
support, you know just whatever?
Go to pitlocksupplycom andmaybe pick up an ITEL Stories
shirt.
I actually do free shipping inthe US, my friends.
So that's how we roll.
We got I Tell Stories and a lotof our links.
There's a lot of other thingsthat we're up to, including some
music and yeah, who knows whatthe fuck else we'll put up there
(18:56):
eventually.
Hey, so I French potato chips,oh yeah, french potato chips.
We could, we could sell those.
That'd be all right.
Maybe include them in somestuff.
I found a local-ish one to myarea, meaning Washington, where
I'm at now, and apparently it'syou know they did go somewhere,
(19:19):
I don't know how far, but I justthought this was a great one,
owen, and you might appreciateit.
The Broken Penis Orchestra yeah, that's fantastic.
It's based out of EdmondsWashington and they've released
seven albums.
There's really no real reasonhere for why they named
themselves that, but theirbiggest track is I hope you
(19:42):
didn't do too much extensiveresearch Like why, would I
appreciate that Excuse me, yeah,alright.
Well, anyway, their biggesttrack is on the brink of a wet
dream, apparently.
Yeah, jeez, guys Get ittogether.
Okay, yeah, so what?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
else.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Zoinks, yeah, zoinks, what else you got?
My friend Right said Fred oh mygod, is that the From my shirt,
that fucking guy?
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yes, and I think he didn't do much else afterwards.
I hope for the world's sake, Ihope not, but yeah, I definitely
I'm more into.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
I'd rather listen to the how Bizarre Guy than that
song.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Wow, yeah, that's rough and it's very true.
How Bizarre.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yeah, that's very weird.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Something, a band I really appreciate, especially
the Blue Album.
I even call the dog thatsometimes Weezer because he has
a wheezy blue pit, butapparently it came from a
childhood nickname that thesinger Rivers Cuomo.
They called him Weezer.
The reason is unknown, but itstuck and now you know they're
(21:01):
of the 90s.
For alternative especially,there was a bigger one that
remained relevant.
I like Weezer, weezer's dopethat's actually Used for
alternative.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Especially, there Was the bigger, big ones, that
remained Relevant.
Yeah, no, yeah, I like Weezer,weezer's dope.
That's actually what my littlepipe's name is, since we're
ridiculous.
Oh, that's right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
It looks like a sweater.
Yeah, yeah, and that's.
That was their first like hit,as I remember that I was made
aware of Is the sweater songRight.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I like that Buddy Holly track.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Yeah, that whole album's just great.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
No, that's a thing.
Apparently there was a bandnamed Diarrhea Planet that did
pretty well at one point in time.
High Energy Punk Band fromNashville with a deliberately
off-putting name.
Yeah, that's what it is.
Another one, too, that caughtmy eye and I don't know much
about, but it's a scary poolparty, all one word.
(21:54):
It's like what the fuckApparently the guy came from, he
was on American Idol and it waskind of like being in a scary
pool party of emotions.
I don't even know.
So that's why it's called scarypool party, but that's bizarre
to me.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Sounds unpleasant definitely.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
You know, there's a lot of times I question myself.
I'm like, is that kind of likean age gap thing?
Do I not understand this?
Now, you know, I don't know.
I mean it's not like we're likeancient, but you know, we're
older, we're middle-aged, sosometimes you start seeing those
things that you don't get, andthat's okay, but I don't.
Scary pool party can mean a lotof weird things, guys.
(22:33):
We don't like that kind of shitaround here.
Somebody drowns some sort ofbackground, nefarious ditty
activities.
Oh God, sorry about that.
Puff Daddy one of the worstFucking names ever, by the way.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Yeah, that, yeah, fuck that, whatever he wanted To
call himself and we're not newTo this like this, guy sucks
party.
Like Colton Evans and Samson'sWere fucking 90, yeah, and now
we weren't clear On what a likeMonster he was, but he he's
garbage.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
It is Like let's just all he ever did.
This is his claim to fame mosttimes, and how much of a
narcissist piece of shit he is.
He got behind, like all thesepeople that he bought their
albums for and they would do allthe work, and then he's in the
background.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Yeah, something like a baby goat sometimes and shit,
so he can go away.
Well, yeah, he's away.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Thankfully, jerry.
He's in a shady place.
He's like go away.
Well, yeah, he's away,thankfully, jerry.
I sent you that meme where,like there's a picture of him
and Biggie in the studio andlike Biggie wasn't cross-eyed,
he just always had to keep oneeye on Diddy yeah, brilliant.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yeah, whoever did that deserves consideration for
the Nobel Peace Prize.
Yeah, brilliant.
Yeah, whoever did that deservesa consideration for the Nobel
Peace Prize?
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Yeah something, or yeah Poulter.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I don't think I have a nomination, but if I did, yeah
, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I thought you should Y'all need to tell that joke to
people or find that meme.
Just look up what I just saidand then I'm sure it'll pop up,
you know.
Anyway, no disrespect to Biggieeither.
I don't think he was in on allthat weird shit, guys, just so.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
No, I would hope notice you don't hear anything
about like Wu-Tang or Nod orImmortal or any of that.
I mean there's lots of peoplethat aren't involved with that
shit.
But sure enough, like nobodyColton I listen to has been even
like remotely fucking.
No, no, no, that Colton Islandat the New has been even like
remotely fucking into thatbullshit.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Yeah, fuck that shit.
Anyway, I love what Ice Cubesaid about it.
Apparently, he was doing aconcert back last year and
basically what he said is thisAlmost 40 years of rocking the
mic.
And I'm going to tell you rightnow, me and WC ain't never been
to a ditty party, motherfucker,and you ain't gotta worry about

Ahoy, ahoy, Hello, ahoy to you, sir.
Long time no talk, after ourvacation from the 100th episode
and Go ahead.
I'm sorry, sir.
See, we're out of practicepeople.
We apologize immediately.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Very much.
So we're back and better thanever, that's right Allegedly.
I'm not sure who alleged this,but it's been alleged.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
We're back and better than ever.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
That's right.
Allegedly Allegedly I'm notsure who alleged this, but it's
been alleged.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
It has been alleged.
It's the word on the streets.
That's what they say Sometimes.
You know words can be used tocreate a presence.
You know if you're in a bandper se or even just a musician.
You know your name.
Your name can bring like alittle extra oomph to your push
(00:53):
as an artist, getting yourselfout there, whether it be shock
value or some deep emotionalconnection.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
What did you say?
Your name was Moredo LudaSchneebacker.
Indeed, I mean, you hearImmortal Technique and it's like
, okay, I'm gonna at least givethis a listen, because they're
clever enough to have a badassmoniker.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Yeah, I agree with that statement, my friend, I
believe like one of my favoritenames in rap, hip-hop, whatever
Is Equipto, and most of you guysprobably don't know who he is.
Maybe you do, I don't know I is, maybe do, I don't know?
I hope so, but uh, he's a bayarea rapper from san francisco
and I just love the names.
Like he's equipped, he's readyto go, I don't know.
(01:33):
Quipto, it's like one of thosenames, very equipped badass,
rapper as well.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Oh yeah, a japanese yeah anyone that's doing stuff
with king nicky.
You know they gotta be A.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Japanese.
Yeah, yup, on point.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, man for sure.
Oh, you know what else is?
Dope as fuck is Octopus gummiesfrom From France, oh, yeah.
When I told them that I'dordered them, colt thought that
they were actually like Jelliedoctopus.
I'm like, no, it's like a gummybear, but it's an octopus.
When I told them that I'dordered them, cole thought that
they were actually like jelliedoctopus or something.
I'm like, no, it's like a gummybear, but it's an octopus.
He's like I don't know, you eatsome weird shit.
Yeah, I was like okay.
(02:12):
Anyhow, tangent, first tangentof this episode yeah, here we go
.
But I was just eating somethingright when Cole called Nice.
Let me explain myself.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
That's okay, I suppose, hey.
So nonetheless, I guess wedecided we were just going to
tell you guys some bizarre bandnames and just take it from
there.
There's really no explanation,but the point is these people
picked these names, became atleast above.
Locally successful was kind ofthe goal.
Nobody that started a garageband and never toured.
(02:48):
You know we're not going thatdeep because that would be
ridiculous, but nonetheless, youknow, being as it is coming
into the summer months and youknow, out there on the coast,
out on the west coast, here, Ibelieve, in California, people
surf, don't they?
Owen?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Indeed, they do.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I've never been, but yeah, Neither have I actually.
I've never even boogie boarded.
I've done that Really All right.
Yeah, that's badass.
My friend, I admire youraccomplishments in life.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
It was like 1987 when I watched a VHS probably shitty
movie, but yeah, it was funyeah.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Well, nonetheless, surfing and boogie boarding and
all these things, and these guysaren't from California but they
like to go by butthole surfers.
So anyway, I do remember seeingthese guys on like MTV and
whatever, and the name reallylike struck me, as I don't want
to listen to you.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
No kidding.
And then the funny part of it Idid read that before they were
famous.
I guess it was at some.
Yeah, I guess this is how theygot the name.
That's not what they went byand whoever introduced them on
stage Said butthole surfers.
And they like decided to stickwith it.
(04:05):
Like what the fuck Like whatkind?
Of drug?
Did these guys know?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Oh, probably a lot, you know it's, but why not Like?
It must have been a pretty goodsized show, and so they got
some notoriety and they're likewell, fuck, I guess we're
surfing buttholes guys.
Whatever, you know, I don'tknow, but hey, you know, they
did get.
They did have some popularity,bro.
Like I said, they're on MTV andthey're from Texas.
They are labeled as apsychedelic punk band.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, Sorry, A less vulgar name.
That's also interesting.
They might be giants.
Oh, I remember them.
Yeah, and one of the coolthings apparently they just
liked the name.
I don't know why.
They were looking at a list ofpossible ventriloquist names,
but that's where they got thename.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
That's a good one, bro man.
I'm happy for you, Ellen,You're doing some good research
here.
I didn't see that shit.
Were they like kind of a skaband or something Sort of?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
No, I think it was like sort of indie rock.
I remember, god, you'drecognize Someone as a.
So I'm not.
I'm not very familiar withtheir works, but I remember not
hating it.
Yeah, Once again ringingendorsement from the positive
neck.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yeah for sure, bro, You're doing great.
You're doing great.
You know one group band theseseem to be a lot of rock bands
here.
Guys, I don't know what's goingon, the one that I think kind
of stands out, but I don't knowwhat the F.
But Def Leppard is a okay right, like what's going on there.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Owen, I don't know and spelled like most deaf too.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah well, apparently the singer, joe Elliot, thought
of the name Def Leppard whilehe was in school, presumably
while failing something.
This article from Cracked saysthe spelling was later changed
so the band didn't becomeconfused with punk bands, who
are known for their flawlessspelling, of course.
Yeah, no, it's pretty stupid.
(06:17):
They don't even have like areal explanation.
I actually tried to look intothis a little bit afterwards,
but he was just like a deafleopard, I don't know.
So isn't that the?
Isn't that the band that has,like the one arm drummer or
something like that?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Well, it has nine arms and sucks.
I don't know, my friend Deafleopard.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Oh no.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Sorry.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
All right, apparently , that guy is not a very good
person either, so I don't feelbad about making fun of that.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
No, yeah, it's like domestic violence even.
Yeah.
So normally I would not makefun of somebody that has a
disability like that, yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
It's a good joke.
It is a good joke, hey, another, just random one that's kind of
like okay, guys, this Puddle ofMud.
I remember them from the 90s.
Yeah, During a 1993 MissouriRiver flood it left the band's
practice basically all rainedout and muddy and fucked up and
(07:20):
they couldn't really practice.
They thought, well, they justwent ahead and went with it and
apparently that's where they gotPuddle of Mud from.
So at least it has an originstory.
Some of these seem reallyridiculous where you're like,
what the even fuck are you guysthinking?
I'm still confused about DefLeppard.
I don't like that, I don't evenknow.
(07:41):
You know, that's so weird.
One band name that's.
You know, just off the cuff Ifeel some stuff about these guys
, but like the Dead Kennedys,it's not a funny one, it's very
controversial.
And dang, what a powerfulchoice of a name there.
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, I love Dead Kennedy.
I don't really listen, butespecially in my teenage angst
and you know, Right, Just riledup, it's like and it is great.
I mean it's super Honestly,it's similar to Mortal Technique
in like the message andeverything.
Yeah.
Yeah, they were very, verycontroversial.
They battled censorship.
(08:23):
I don't think we brought themup in the censorship episodes.
Shame on us.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Yeah, no shit.
Yep, yeah, the famous song isabout boston, correct?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
not that I know of.
Oh, what is that?
Uh, holiday in cambodia, superfamous uh mtv, get out the air,
they have some.
They were, yeah, definitely,yeah definitely, like um, a
thorn in the side of politesociety yeah, that sounds about
(08:56):
right.
They're very punk, my friendyeah, real, real, not pop punk.
Uh, interesting, a man bornMarvin Lee Adé.
I don't know if I'm saying thatright.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Who once balloon to 320 pounds, is a well-known,
more well-known as meatloaf.
Oh, do you know where that namecame from?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
No, I have no idea, but the loaf has been a part of
my life because in the late 80s,early 90s, you would see a lot
of him mixed in with popularmusic.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
unfortunately, True, I mean God rest, but no, so I
guess he was born bright red andhis father said he looked like
Ground Chuck, so they called himMeat and then he would adopt
the loaf later.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Oh, my goodness, oh man, that's actually kind of
funny.
Hey, at least that hassomething behind it.
Though this is interesting, myfriend.
I did not know that At all.
Actually, one of the ones thatcame up for rappers is old dirty
bastard, and I can't argue withthat.
Owen, it's bizarre, it'sfucking brilliant.
(10:10):
Yeah, it's fantastic.
I'm a big ODB fan.
Shout out to his son, b Varsonas well.
Friend of the show.
Hopefully one day.
Nonetheless, yeah, old DirtyBastard, that's a great name, I
feel I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
How about the Squirtle Nut Zippers?
What Sure.
I'm not familiar with the works, but apparently I'm just
waiting to get this one.
I think it's just called theMethod.
No association with the Methodman, but Method Shop, I think.
So I'm just going to readtheirs directly, because it's
(10:48):
pretty fucking good.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Okay, do you have the ?
Where is it from?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Method.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Oh sorry, sorry, sorry, you were talking about
Method man and it just gotconfusing.
I'm kind of stumbling.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
So Squirrel Nut Zippers, a band known for their
eclectic mix of jazz, swing andfolk, derived their name from an
old-fashioned candy.
The band members were inspiredby the Squirrel Nut Caramel
Company's Squirrel Nut Zipperscandy, which itself had a
nostalgic, quirky charm.
According to them.
It sounds bizarre but zippersyeah, I'm glad I I did, you know
(11:22):
, looked at a lot of differentsites and I figured I'd give
these guys credit, because otherother stuff I just like read it
and then did it my own words,but uh, yeah, yeah, I would be
scared to see what come up onthe internet if you search net
zippers, guys.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Yeah, it doesn't sound like anything good could
come of that.
No, that translated wrong.
I mean like it's from adifferent era, obviously the
candy, but it doesn't sound likeI'd be partaking in.
No, no, yeah, there's one thatI don't have any background on
this, but there's a couple ofthese names that apparently
they're big and something, butone is Disease Factory.
(11:57):
That's a hell of a name for aband.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Trying not to pick her up at the bar, I guess.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
The singer's name is Velvet Acid, velvet Acid Christ.
Anyway, another one behind thatis Sharon Needles.
That was another one.
It's spelled like Sharon, likeS-H-A-R-O-N, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Which did bring.
The band never got off theground, really.
But back in the day we'd jokeabout a garage band named
Morning Wood W-O-U-L-D.
Question mark yeah, all right,and Morning Wood W-O-U-L-D, yeah
, alright, I haven't lost thatchildlike sense of humor.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
No, we must keep it, or someone say juvenile.
Well you know, you gotta keepit moving.
Keep it moving, baby, keep itmoving.
Yeah, so um hmm.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
One that just extremely sucked.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Toad the Wet Sprocket oh my goodness, I remember
those guys too.
This is man.
The 90s was terrible.
Yeah Well, I just remember onMTV, man, mtv was a big part of
the 90s and 80s.
You know what I'm saying.
So that's what I remember.
But uh, can you name a songEven I can't off the top of my
head?
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I just Cause I looked at it.
It was like Walk on the Ocean,which is like Shouldn't be
allowed to be played inelevators and apparently like
the only cool thing about it isit's some homage to Monty Python
.
I don't remember any skit withsuch a thing, but it's still
(13:38):
fucking stupid.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Yeah, it says it comes from an Eric Idle
monologue on a Monty Pythonalbum.
Is what I just figured Rightnow.
Live guys.
Then the comment on this isthis, then is the musical
equivalent of the AB Club nerdswho recited the Knights who Say
Knee sketch over and over.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
That is a great fucking film, though, but I'm
not recreating it While I wasHourly or anything.
Thank you, very much.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I got something that's kind of odd.
You know who Russell Crowe is,right, yes, notorious, weirdo at
times and great actor, right,russell Crowe has been involved
in some weird things, not likesexual, I don't feel, but like
he beats people up or some shit,I don't know.
Sorry, I had to clarify becausewhen I say weird, you know,
(14:35):
when I started hearing myself,I'm like, yeah, he does some
weird stuff.
Guys like that could be likeanything.
I don't, I'm not trying to belike that.
No, I think I remember himgetting in like kind of he's
kind of rowdy at one point inhis life.
Anyway, so apparently he has aband, all right, of course.
So God bless, yeah, god bless.
Russell Crowe.
30 odd foot of grunts, that isa good guy.
(14:58):
Yeah, so they're.
They're like competing storiesfor what it is, but I don't know
, they just can't.
Nobody knows and it falls on alot of lists as the worst band
name ever, kind of like what theeven fuck guys?
Yeah, so I don't know, that'sweird.
But now we know that RussellCrowe has a weird band.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah, yeah.
Another odd choice, especiallya band from Athens, georgia Of
Montreal.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Oh wow, I've heard of that.
I don't know if it's because Iwas reading stuff about weird
band names or not, though I haveno clue who they are, I don't
think.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
No, I don't really care to.
I don't think I'm missing outon a life experience Somehow.
Oh no, fuck Illmatic, I listento these fucking podcasts.
I don't think I'm missing outon a life experience somehow.
Oh no, like.
Oh yeah, fuck Illmatic, Ilisten to these fucking.
I know nothing about these guys.
I'm sure they're very nicepeople, but, yeah, they're that
stupid name again.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah, hosier's from Canada.
That's kind of a weird name,but at least he's from Canada, I
feel.
I think that's like his reallast name.
It was like Hosier or somethinglike that.
I don't know, could be, I don'tknow.
I don't know much about him.
I know they sell his album atTarget, though.
Here's one that most people inthe US will know who these guys
(16:19):
are.
But Hootie and the Blowfish, ohgod, why, like what?
Yeah, so I guess he's justnicknamed Hootie because one of
his friends, darius Rucker, thelead singer so basically one of
his friends gave him thenickname because Darius Rucker,
(16:39):
the lead singer of Hootie andthe Blowfish, looked like an owl
, apparently, and he said thatthe two ugliest white guys on
campus was what the term I readwas in one of the things Looked
like a couple of blowfish.
So there you are.
Yeah, so there you are.
I don't have any problem withDarius Rucker.
Okay, guys, or the hoodie andthe blowfish I don't know about
(17:01):
the blowfish.
I'm like Scott Baio.
Oh my God, yeah, I'm like ScottBaio, never Scott Baio.
Oh my god, yeah, I'm like ScottBaio, never Scott Baio.
You know, one of the worstbands that's Relevantly newer
From the 90s.
That's not newer.
It's like the 60s when we werekids.
It's like 30 years ago,nonetheless, nickelback.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Maybe Nickelback thinks you suck.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Yeah, they probably do Apparently their name.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I don't remember that you sent me that video where
the guy was like, oh my.
God, I forgot about thatbanging on stuff and finally he
just got them.
Maybe Nickelback thinks yousuck, sorry.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I don't think, nickelback.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
That's okay.
That was yeah, oh, my goodness.
A detractor to your musical?
No, I doubt it, yeah fuck them,don't listen.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Chad Kroger apparently he was the lead
singer, anyway.
So the way they got their name,which is at least I guess it
came from somewhere.
But he used to work atStarbucks and when coffee was
$1.95, which everybody justbasically gave him $2, so he'd
always give them a nickel back.
So anyway, way to be clever.
Wow, that's about that's likethat reflects upon their music,
(18:10):
my friend.
That's kind of the constantcommentary is it's very pop rock
, you know, or whatever you wantto call it shit.
Nonetheless, everybody, what awonderful day.
I hope everybody's got goodplans for the summer.
It's coming up.
People, kids are almost out ofschool.
My daughter's graduating thisyear, which means I might you
(18:32):
know, if you want to support theshow, support the cause,
support, you know just whatever?
Go to pitlocksupplycom andmaybe pick up an ITEL Stories
shirt.
I actually do free shipping inthe US, my friends.
So that's how we roll.
We got I Tell Stories and a lotof our links.
There's a lot of other thingsthat we're up to, including some
music and yeah, who knows whatthe fuck else we'll put up there
(18:56):
eventually.
Hey, so I French potato chips,oh yeah, french potato chips.
We could, we could sell those.
That'd be all right.
Maybe include them in somestuff.
I found a local-ish one to myarea, meaning Washington, where
I'm at now, and apparently it'syou know they did go somewhere,
(19:19):
I don't know how far, but I justthought this was a great one,
owen, and you might appreciateit.
The Broken Penis Orchestra yeah, that's fantastic.
It's based out of EdmondsWashington and they've released
seven albums.
There's really no real reasonhere for why they named
themselves that, but theirbiggest track is I hope you
(19:42):
didn't do too much extensiveresearch Like why, would I
appreciate that Excuse me, yeah,alright.
Well, anyway, their biggesttrack is on the brink of a wet
dream, apparently.
Yeah, jeez, guys Get ittogether.
Okay, yeah, so what?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
else.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Zoinks, yeah, zoinks, what else you got?
My friend Right said Fred oh mygod, is that the From my shirt,
that fucking guy?
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yes, and I think he didn't do much else afterwards.
I hope for the world's sake, Ihope not, but yeah, I definitely
I'm more into.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
I'd rather listen to the how Bizarre Guy than that
song.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Wow, yeah, that's rough and it's very true.
How Bizarre.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yeah, that's very weird.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Something, a band I really appreciate, especially
the Blue Album.
I even call the dog thatsometimes Weezer because he has
a wheezy blue pit, butapparently it came from a
childhood nickname that thesinger Rivers Cuomo.
They called him Weezer.
The reason is unknown, but itstuck and now you know they're
(21:01):
of the 90s.
For alternative especially,there was a bigger one that
remained relevant.
I like Weezer, weezer's dopethat's actually Used for
alternative.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Especially, there Was the bigger, big ones, that
remained Relevant.
Yeah, no, yeah, I like Weezer,weezer's dope.
That's actually what my littlepipe's name is, since we're
ridiculous.
Oh, that's right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
It looks like a sweater.
Yeah, yeah, and that's.
That was their first like hit,as I remember that I was made
aware of Is the sweater songRight.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I like that Buddy Holly track.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Yeah, that whole album's just great.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
No, that's a thing.
Apparently there was a bandnamed Diarrhea Planet that did
pretty well at one point in time.
High Energy Punk Band fromNashville with a deliberately
off-putting name.
Yeah, that's what it is.
Another one, too, that caughtmy eye and I don't know much
about, but it's a scary poolparty, all one word.
(21:54):
It's like what the fuckApparently the guy came from, he
was on American Idol and it waskind of like being in a scary
pool party of emotions.
I don't even know.
So that's why it's called scarypool party, but that's bizarre
to me.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Sounds unpleasant definitely.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
You know, there's a lot of times I question myself.
I'm like, is that kind of likean age gap thing?
Do I not understand this?
Now, you know, I don't know.
I mean it's not like we're likeancient, but you know, we're
older, we're middle-aged, sosometimes you start seeing those
things that you don't get, andthat's okay, but I don't.
Scary pool party can mean a lotof weird things, guys.
(22:33):
We don't like that kind of shitaround here.
Somebody drowns some sort ofbackground, nefarious ditty
activities.
Oh God, sorry about that.
Puff Daddy one of the worstFucking names ever, by the way.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Yeah, that, yeah, fuck that, whatever he wanted To
call himself and we're not newTo this like this, guy sucks
party.
Like Colton Evans and Samson'sWere fucking 90, yeah, and now
we weren't clear On what a likeMonster he was, but he he's
garbage.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
It is Like let's just all he ever did.
This is his claim to fame mosttimes, and how much of a
narcissist piece of shit he is.
He got behind, like all thesepeople that he bought their
albums for and they would do allthe work, and then he's in the
background.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Yeah, something like a baby goat sometimes and shit,
so he can go away.
Well, yeah, he's away.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Thankfully, jerry.
He's in a shady place.
He's like go away.
Well, yeah, he's away,thankfully, jerry.
I sent you that meme where,like there's a picture of him
and Biggie in the studio andlike Biggie wasn't cross-eyed,
he just always had to keep oneeye on Diddy yeah, brilliant.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yeah, whoever did that deserves consideration for
the Nobel Peace Prize.
Yeah, brilliant.
Yeah, whoever did that deservesa consideration for the Nobel
Peace Prize?
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Yeah something, or yeah Poulter.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I don't think I have a nomination, but if I did, yeah
, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I thought you should Y'all need to tell that joke to
people or find that meme.
Just look up what I just saidand then I'm sure it'll pop up,
you know.
Anyway, no disrespect to Biggieeither.
I don't think he was in on allthat weird shit, guys, just so.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
No, I would hope notice you don't hear anything
about like Wu-Tang or Nod orImmortal or any of that.
I mean there's lots of peoplethat aren't involved with that
shit.
But sure enough, like nobodyColton I listen to has been even
like remotely fucking.
No, no, no, that Colton Islandat the New has been even like
remotely fucking into thatbullshit.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Yeah, fuck that shit.
Anyway, I love what Ice Cubesaid about it.
Apparently, he was doing aconcert back last year and
basically what he said is thisAlmost 40 years of rocking the
mic.
And I'm going to tell you rightnow, me and WC ain't never been
to a ditty party, motherfucker,and you ain't gotta worry about
us on them motherfucking tapesor anybody that we know from the
(24:51):
