Speaker 1 (00:00):
On this episode of the Powers Point Podcast, we
talk about this.
Did you ever fall in love witha music band that's been around
forever, or become obsessed witha TV show that had several
seasons and has already endedyears ago, and think to yourself
if I only knew, hey Scott, dropthe beat the beat.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
It's on season three.
Well, hello, hello.
Welcome back to the PowersPoint Podcast, Season 5, Episode
16.
The show where we talk aboutanything and everything.
We only have two rules here.
We don't talk religion and wedon't talk politics Because,
let's be honest, we're here tomake you laugh, not start a
heated family dinner argument.
And if you're new here, welcometo the show and the family.
(01:37):
And if you're a returninglistener, welcome back to the
madness.
You know the drill we aim forone or two solid laughs per
episode, but if you laugh threetimes, you owe each of us a
snack.
I'm Scott Powers and I'mhanging out with my partners in
podcasting crime.
I'm talking about the one andonly Jim Banks.
(01:57):
Hello, hello, hello.
And all the way from Ohio,Keith Mackey.
And I I like snacks, so you knowwhat I'm shooting for so
they're here to keep me honestor at least interrupt me when I
start straying off on a tangent,like I usually do.
They keep me back on the netthe right way.
(02:18):
So before we dive in today'stopic, I gotta ask you guys, man
, how was everybody's week?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
interesting.
I can say that I got I got,definitely got a funny story.
If you guys are ready for thisone um, ready, yeah, I was.
So you know, when my parentscoming back, I've been doing a
lot of work, uh on the house andgetting everything set up.
Well, at one point I was, uh,reconstructing stuff here in the
living room and I found thesetwo old uh edible cookies
(02:47):
marijuana edible cookies that Ihad from like two years ago.
They were still in the package.
I didn't plan on eating thembecause they're, you know, they
were like, you know, bricks andwhatever, and I don't really
like edibles to begin with.
But I took them and I set themon the kitchen counter and they
were maybe on the counter for 10minutes tops.
Well, I went in and I noticedthat one of them was missing off
(03:10):
the counter and I went upstairsand my daughter, who has never
touched a drug, a drop ofalcohol or anything in her life,
had it sitting in front of her.
She hadn't thank God, hadn'teaten it yet.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Like how many milligrams are we talking there?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
oh, like I think, a hundred milligrams, ten doses.
So it would have been yeah, itwould have been a nightmare and
a half and thank god again,thank god that did not happen
and it was.
So.
You know, I'm glad I noticed it, but you want to talk about
dodging one there.
So that definitely put me in ain a state of gratitude, if you
will do you eat it to get rid ofit?
(03:46):
No, I threw them away.
Like I said, they were too old.
They're, you know, a coupleyears old.
I don't know if they would haveeven been potent anymore.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Did she think it was a brownie or something?
She just thought it was aregular cookie.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
All she thought it was because it's fat, you know,
for children, you know youshould have said hey, snacky
mason, that's not yours, andjust exactly.
Well, she has this weirdtendency and I'm sure she
doesn't want me to tell this,but she had this weird tendency
of like, uh, you know, grabbingsodas, grabbing snacks or
whatever, and uh, it's not thatanybody ever tells her no, you
(04:17):
know, no, you can't have that,but it's, it's that thing, it's
like, well, you know, it's, it'sbetter to what do they say?
It's better to ask forforgiveness than permission yeah
, right you know what I mean.
So she like will grab somethingout of the fridge and she'll
like keep it held like rightunder, you know, at her side,
like, hey, good night everybody.
And we got these counters whereyou can't see what she's
walking through the kitchen withyou know what I mean.
(04:37):
So she walks up with it and soit's like that kind of thing,
and so that's what kind of setme off.
I was like this is why I tellyou to at least let me know.
You know what I mean, at leastsay something.
If you would have said, hey, isthis cookie okay, I'd have said
no, it's not.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
But she's practicing a career of stealing.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
How about you, Jim?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Um, nothing much.
I really can't think ofanything.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Nothing to that level .
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Yeah, just work.
And of course we had to go backup to Chicago again and I had
to have my niece watch Jimmy andI had to clear off the basement
, the bedroom, the bed that Ihad.
I was sorting all my junk onlike in the basement, separating
, throwing stuff away, and thenonce she came over to I really
(05:24):
didn't realize the last, thehours before that she was
spending the night.
So I'm like crap, I gotta movethat stuff back over to the
other side of the room, likemove a whole half a room back
over just so she could stay thenight.
And then on my next day off Igotta put it all back here.
And it's just like god.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
I just went backwards again trying to clean this junk
up it seems like when you tryto start cleaning it's kind of
worthless the time.
You know you wasted time yeah,and now you gotta do it two or
three times more, and you guysknow it's not like when we were
kids, where there was infinitetime.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I mean, we realize how precious time is and I'm
looking around near your houseand you're like I got a lot of
stuff to do and I gottacalculate the time to do all
this stuff.
So you can't do nothing.
Fun because you got all thishuge stuff to you know, get rid
of and stuff.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
So the topic of our show is kind of like what you
kind of do right now if I onlyknew she was staying.
Yeah see, so this topic fits sowell into everyday life.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah, and you get so caught up you don't realize
something you know that younever knew.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Something became routine without you realizing it
.
Huh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Or an addiction, yeah , candy.
So it sounds like you guys havebeen keeping busy, though, and

Speaker 4 (08:28):
Welcome back and let's kick it off with those
little day-to-day things that welearned a little too late in
life, Like first, let me did youguys know that the hole in the
pot handle is not just forhanging it on the wall, it's a
spoon rest.
I spent years slapping spoonson paper towels like some kind
(08:49):
of budget chef, when the pot hadmy back the whole time.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
I never knew that.
It's got the holes and you justput, like if you're doing sauce
, you just put a spoon right inthe pot.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I see videos like that all the time and I'm like
like the whole topic is here.
I never knew that and I wish Iwould have known that.
Or even some of the ladles thathave like the claw part on one
part of the ladle, yeah, and ithas a hole in the center and if
you put the spaghetti likethrough the hole, it's like one
serving or something.
(09:21):
Yeah, yeah, I'm like how come Inever knew that?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
And why weren't?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
we taught right and there's no internet.
Then that was the thing is.
You had to, you had to gorillastyle everything.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
You had to get it like like a renegade man, you
know it's true, and and by thetime the internet came in, what
around 94, 95 ish yeah, whereaspeople like me probably didn't
get on until about 99 2000 rightand and with lime wire and
everything else, uh.
But yeah, there's like so manythings out there now that you
(09:55):
see it on tv or little lifehacks and they're like if I only
knew that would have made mywhole life a lot simpler back in
the day someone, just just.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
They had a video online, one of those quick
videos, and it showed how tofold your bed sheets.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Like the elastic rounded parts.
It shows like three steps howto fold it and where to grab on
the folded parts and it comesout like a store or something
perfect.
And my wife knows how to do it.
She's just watched it a coupletimes and I still can't figure
out how they fold, fold, fold,done.
Yeah, those folded sheets,because I didn't.
(10:33):
Whenever I do it it's allwrinkled and uneven and stuff.
It's like a big wad and I'mlike, oh, it's close enough.
It's a legitimate effort too.
The president isn't coming.
Who cares?
Speaker 4 (10:44):
They say that if you keep the tag of the sheet on the
lower right-hand side, it'seasier to fold, go figure.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I always get the job of folding things because my arm
wingspan is so long.
Yeah, you fold everything, okay.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Did you guys ever know the little paper ketchup
cups at restaurants?
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yes, I found this out a couple years ago.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
You'd actually expand them and you could actually put
the fries on this thing.
It gets that big.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, if you pulled the wrinkle parts or
straightened it out.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
If you pull the whole thing out it makes like a tray.
That's amazing.
I never knew that man Me neither.
So there's like again, likeit's again.
It's not just like everydaylife things, but it could be
movies, tvs, music, and we'reall generally the same age here,
(11:37):
yeah, you know.
So we all basically have grownup with the same technology and
man, there's a lot of things outthere.
Basically have grown up withthe same technology and, uh, man
, there's a lot of things outthere.
So what else stuff do you guys?
If you only knew.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Go first, Jim, go ahead, buddy.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I'm trying to think.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
It's like so much.
How about preheating the oven?
You didn't know aboutpreheating the oven.
Well, I do for the last year ortwo, but it didn't take it.
It's like my kids she don'tpreheat the oven oh my god,
really, oh wow or boil the waterfirst and then put the pasta in
.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
She'll put the pasta in the pot and just turn it on
yeah, that's called cold watermethod, though that's uh, some
people swear by that that it'sbetter right, and that's what I
do.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
You know, and I've always boiled and salted and
everything, but I watcheverybody just throw cold pizza
in the oven, turn the oven onand call it a day.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I didn't know about when you boil eggs or make a
hard-boiled egg.
I never knew.
Once you get the eggs out orsomething, you put them in a
bowl of ice.
Yeah, and when I found out,like two years ago, all of a
sudden I see everybody likedoing it in videos.
I'm like those videos weren'taround you.
(12:54):
Everybody just found this stuffout because I never seen any
recipe or anybody in my familyput it in ice after they've to
easy peel or something itseparates it right when you put
it when it's like the swelling,it's something about like it.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
It makes it reduced to where it's.
It puts like a little bit ofspace between the the body of
the egg and then the shell.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
And I still see a million different ways to make
it to where you don't they justthey fall off.
You don't have to sit there andpick the shells off, but I can
never do it.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
I still have sit there and pick the shells off,
but I can never do it.
I still.
How about gavin the, the hostof majors mess hall, and he's
also like a friend of the show.
Have you seen his egg trick,which, like, baffles me every
single time?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
no he'll.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
He'll take a little tip off the shell after it's
boiled off the bottom, and apiece of tip or like a little
hole in the thing, and he blowsthe egg right out the shell okay
, I've seen that done.
I haven't seen him do it thoughand it's perfect no divots in
the eggs or anything.
And I'm like, well, if you'redoing it for yourself, that's
cool, but if you're doing it forlike guests, you're like
(13:55):
blowing on their eggs, yeah,yeah now if you're good at
blowing.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
I didn't know this about the man I mean yeah, I
definitely haven't seen gavinblow eggs yet.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Yeah dude, that's a.
That's the only fans for uh,right we?
All need money, yeah, how about, uh, for entertainment?
Okay, uh, there are bands,albums, shows and movies that I
completely ignored when theyfirst came out only to discover
later that they were incredible.
(14:24):
My biggest show that I justheld off and held off for, and
again, gavin's like you, gottawatch it, gotta watch it.
And when I watched it I waslike a fish on the hook.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Dude, uh breaking bad I was gonna say the same thing.
That would be the same one forme, except, uh, I actually don't
remember how we wound upwatching it, but that was the
same, as we didn't watchBreaking Bad forever.
And then we caught on, right, Ithink, before Better Call Saul
started, so at least by thatpoint we were caught up.
But through the entire seasonof Breaking Bad, though, yeah,
(14:55):
we didn't watch it either.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
It was like the Sopranos.
Everybody still tells me thisday.
Got to watch it, got to watchit, and I'm still putting it off
.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Same.
Thing.
We haven't watched it either.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I've watched the Sopranos.
I've never seen Breaking Bad.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Oh, dude, I'll start the Sopranos.
You start Breaking Bad.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
What's funny is the Sopranos.
I was watching it before itended and stuff, because I
caught it right before the lastseason or two and whenever I'd
hear that theme song because, uh, my italian family and stuff
I'd go to my grandma's house.
Yeah and when in the intro ofthe video you see him driving
and now you see the landmarksand stuff while you hear the
(15:39):
song.
And when I go to my grandma's Itold my wife I just look at the
landmarks going into gary andstuff and seeing by her
neighborhood and that, and itjust put myself in that you know
the going to the Italian houseand stuff.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Well, like everyone was talking about it, nonstop,
you know, breaking bad.
And I thought, nah, I get it,it's about drugs and drama.
Then I watched it and suddenlyI'm Googling what a Heisenberger
is and and I can't.
I wish there was more, you know.
So that's like a drug, you know.
And then I'm not gonna ruin itout there.
(16:12):
But the ending of the seriesit's like did this happen or did
this not happen?
You know?
Now I'm like I'm like any othergood show.
You don't want to end, and whenit does, you're're like ah, it
should be back, it could comeback, it can come back.
And here it is.
What, 10 years later?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
We only get like a Jesse story man, yeah, El Camino
right yeah.
Or how about another TV show?
Man, I really put off theOffice.
Uh, the english, the americanversion.
Yeah, I've seen like theenglish version with ricky
gervais and it was good.
You know it was a little slow.
(16:56):
But then I was opened up to theamerican version and I was like
, oh, here's like the next methlab I'm working on here and I
had to watch like five episodesa day.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I've seen only a couple episodes of both series.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I've never seen one of either.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
It has that awkward.
Merlene hates that kind ofhumor.
That awkward humor, yeah, wheresomeone's doing something so
cringe as the kids say cringeworthy, and it's just dying
laughter.
She can't stand that.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
But I find a little bit of human, human, uh,
humorous well, it's also episodeone of both american and the uk
version.
They're exactly the same, justdifferent characters, which I
thought, oh, this is gonna bekind of boring, you know.
But then they start doing someother stuff and the cast become
(17:51):
amazing the more you watch, youknow, and and then it.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
I just started because you start pointing out
people at your work that look,that act just like some of those
characters and stuff right andI, I love how, yeah, like you
said, I can take somebody and belike well, this is so-and-so,
you know trying to be cool andthey're just a jerk or something
yeah, and then I also.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Now you want to start doing videos in the background,
while you can see the officeworkers in the background
working you know and and you'retalking shit about them you know
on camera, uh, you guys got anytv shows that you guys got
hooked on or anything that youput off uh, well, we weren't.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
We caught into uh letter kenny, actually about
four or five seasons in beforewe, and obviously that turned
out to be a big one for fuckingfor me personally, geez.
But um, yeah, we weren't likeuh right off the jump.
You know from that it took us alittle.
It wasn't because we kind ofput it off, it was just that we
was unaware of it.
You know, I mean, a friend ofmine, uh, came and told me about
(18:54):
it and the first thing Ithought was that uh wayne looked
like uh matt hughes from theufc and so I was like, okay, I
could probably watch this.
This looks funny enough.
By the end of the episode, bythe time I saw McMurray, by the
time I saw McMurray, that was it.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
I was sold and that's obviously still one of our
favorites it's like I startedtrailer park boys late in life,
you know them too, yeah and thefirst seven seasons I was like
way behind.
And then I, I watched them andthey became like my, my new
friends.
You know, I had to watch them.
(19:29):
But then letter kenny came in,like I used to watch the stuff
on youtube or pirate it, and uh,I even had to tell uh daryl
that I was pirating it, right?
But uh, all of a sudden, I likethat better than the trailer
park boys and I was like man,what is this madness?
you know, I thought nothingwould ever do that to me right
(19:50):
uh, shorezy, I heard is the sameway, I haven't watched one
episode, yet shorezy wicked.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I've only seen like three or four or five episodes.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Oh yeah, what do you think so far?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
It's pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
That show gets me jacked, like just wanting to ask
, whatever you know what I mean,I don't know I get pumped up
after watching that show.
I love Shorzy, I love thatcharacter, I love the whole, you
know, set the tone, thehumanness of it, that, just all
of it.
I love it all.
I love it all.
Quiso's a quiso's a bad bitch,if I may say so.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
I mean not that he gives a shit what I think, but I
think you know I dig, I dig thewhole cast.
I know you.
You have a different feelingit's a case-by-case basis.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
You know, I love all I love, I love them all.
But you know, I mean obviouslyI've seen less than what I feel
like is less than human sides ofa couple of them.
But that's with anything.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
You and I both love Connor on there.
That's our boy.
I want to try to get him on theshow.
That should be no problem.
That's another show.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
That's why I watched this show the first time was
because he was on.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
With the gas mask.
Yeah, no, no's.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Why I watched this show the first time was because
he was on With the gas mask andthe yeah, no, no, I mean this,
the Powers Point podcast.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Oh, okay, wow.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yeah, it was the reason that I discovered this
podcast, because I was, you know, because I was in contact with
him all the time, and then Ifound out that he was on here,
so that was my like, I hadwatched, you know, it was
probably what?
A year or two before I wasactually on it myself, you know
yeah, yeah, wow, that's prettycool man it's crazy coincidence,
(21:23):
is it not?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
no, I mean, yeah, it is man, it is uh any any other
movies or tv shows or the thingabout tv shows and movies is
that I've I I'm bad at watchinglike trying to finish watching
stuff, or like something's beenout for a long time and I
haven't watched it and myco-worker and everybody's like
(21:47):
you how have you not seen this?
It's been like five or tenyears and I'm like I just I jump
onto other stuff or I'm notpaying attention and then I want
to finish stuff.
But I never like uh Marvel'sdaredevil show.
I really like how uh D'Onofrioplayed Kingpin.
Yep, and I I was like this is,he is one of the greatest and
(22:08):
I'm watching it, but I can onlywatch.
I only watched one season sofar and I never finished.
Yeah, or Cobra Kai.
Speaker 4 (22:14):

So yeah, Cobra Kai.
I watched one season and I'mlike this is frickin awesome and
then I just never finished.
Or Black Sails I like, BlackSails rules, but I never
finished it.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Do you ever see it kind of like like weather
patterns?
You know you look at weatherpatterns over top the map and
they circle.
Yeah, and sometimes one circlesover here and sometimes you
know what I mean.
And circles over here, andsometimes you know what I mean.
It circles over, that's kind ofhow I see it, it's like if
you're not ready for it oryou're just not, you know, in
the vicinity at the time, youknow I mean it doesn't
necessarily mean you're nevergonna be, it just means you
haven't been in the case,especially if something that
(22:49):
you're gonna enjoy, it's kind ofnice to know that you still
have something waiting for youif we were all like in our teens
yeah, we would have binged allthat oh yeah, you have nothing
else to do but growing up andand being a parent and and life
hitting you and all that it kindof like pushes whatever you
want to see farther and fartherback because you forget about it
(23:10):
, you know the main thing is,back when we were younger, in
our youth, in the eighties,seventies and eighties,
something came along that wasall you saw and everybody talked
about, so you focused on it.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Now there's like 20 streaming apps or more, and they
each have 500 live channels orsomething.
There's so much to watch youcan.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
I mean, I can go back and watch Columbo, all the old
Columbo's or something, or uh uh, go back and watch colombo, all
the old colombos or something,or uh, uh, just one more
question yeah, yeah, uh, if youdon't mind, and it's like that
was a genius show and stuff andI never I never appreciated or
watched it when I was a kid.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I'm like you could do all this stuff any.
You pick any show, any movie,you could just jump in and watch
.
We're just flooded with allthis stuff to watch.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
There's no time you know you say that.
But you know, uh, one of myco-workers.
He likes to bring up quotesfrom old tv shows and he's like,
oh, remember when fish saidthis and fish said that, and I'm
like fish next thing.
You know, I'm watching barneymiller man, I've never yes, like
when I was a little kid Ididn't care for a cop show.
You know I didn't understand it.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Now, like I get it, you know, and now I'm watching
barney miller and especially,that's for sure, I knew that
baseline because barney millerwas on right before the three
stooges well, he showed me.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
He showed me the episode where, uh, everybody ate
hash brownies yeah, yeah andthe thing, and everybody was
high, I was a kite and and uh,and they're like don't tell
nobody, you know it was just, itwas funny, man and the the with
today, with reality shows andeverybody trying to just I want
to be rich and I want to be ontv.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
but back then they were like stories and, like you
know, it was more creative andfunnier and there wasn't so
everybody all worried aboutdon't say this and talk to, you
can't have a white person saythis about a black and or or you
can't talk about Asians orMexicans.
I mean, everybody was just allparanoid now.
But back then, everybodyequally, just for jokes and
(25:08):
insults.
You know it was all in funny,it was just all it made sense.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
And the first priority was talent.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, you watch Sanfordford and son.
That stuff is a riot.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
that's hilarious some people don't want to give it a
chance because they think it'sracist.
And it may have been now or itis now, but it was funny back
then and everybody accepted itand you knew it wasn't all mean
and hateful and stuff it wasjust for the sake of comedy.
You had them, the, the bunkersand and the jeffersons.
(25:42):
You know those were the threebig ones that were really
pushing the line and uh.
But I watch it now and I stilllaugh at it and I'm not a racist
but I enjoy, like, especially,like you said, sanford and son,
you got the all the races rightthere and you know, having a
good laugh, you know, and that'swhat is taken away from us
(26:02):
nowadays is because everythingis so woke.
You know you want to laughbecause it was funny, it is
funny, but then you're like youdon't want to laugh because then
you feel wrong and everybody'slike either remaking something
to be in their nowadaysstandards or something, and it's
taking away none.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Nobody's doing nothing creative and all the
creative stuff was back then andstuff and they're ruining them
too.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Man, they redid good times like come on, man.
Good times is one of myfavorite from the as long as I
can remember, good times hasbeen one of my probably top five
shows.
Yeah, they just I don't know.
I barely saw what they did withit.
New, but I'm not.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
I don't like it at all or they tried a magnum pi a
couple years ago yeah or hawaii50 yeah, or uh uh they did punky
brewster, they did wonder yearsagain.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Oh really, yeah, yeah , uh, but I won't get into that
but you know, oh shit, okay, Iremember now never mind, we talk
about tv, we talk about movies,but there's a big genre that
that really gets us.
Because we do it more, welisten a lot of music.
Let's just say I used to mockgenres because I didn't
(27:16):
understand them yeah you know,then one day I actually listened
to what I used to make fun of,and then I'm like I'll hear
vibing stuff I once swore Ihated.
So growth is real yeah, whatkind of music or groups.
Did you guys hear that you maynot have liked as a kid, but but
(27:37):
now you're like man.
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Yeah, well, obviously , kind of what inspired this
episode is my obsession and lovefor the killing joke, and
that's since they've been around, you know, since I think, like
around 78, 77, something likethat.
But honestly I don't think my16-year-old self would have been
ready for them.
You know what I mean.
I think maybe I needed to, youknow, and I was.
(28:01):
I've been listening to him sinceprobably, I don't know, 2000,
something like that, whenever Icould start, I guess,
downloading shit for free, youknow, whatever big giveaway.
But you know, I started wantingeverything and then I would go
to the library and I would grabCDs from the library and I would
burn them from that.
You know, go to the library andI would grab CDs from the
library and I would burn themfrom there, you know.
So, whatever source, I wasalways trying to build my
collection.
I've been studying basicallysince I was, you know, 15, 16
(28:21):
years old, um, but, like I said,I don't really think, uh, you
know, my 16 year old self maybenot even my like 26, 27 year old
self maybe would have been asready for him as I am now.
It's like I feel like I had tosee and hear all the rest of the
stuff that I do like to catchthem and hear them the way that
I hear them now.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
You know, when I was in Somalia, I never listened to
Pink Floyd before.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
And this was late 92, 93.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
And I used to lay like when it was dark out.
It was dark out becauseeverybody stole all the copper
and everything else from thetelephone lines and the
electricity lines.
And then the bath had thesebig-ass 50,000-gallon water bags
, man, for the showers and allthat, and it was like a huge
(29:14):
waterbed.
And for the kids that don'tknow what a waterbed is, and it
was like a huge waterbed and forthe kids that don't know what a
waterbed is, you filled up amattress of water and heated it
up with a heater and it feltgreat.
So I used to listen, I laid upon the big shower bag and then
all of a sudden I hearcomfortably numb and I could see
all the stars, dude, and it waslike I was high without being
(29:36):
high, you know.
And from then on, floyd touchesme, man, you know.
Their songs hold up to this day.
You know.
Probably some more songs holdup more today than before, you
know, with the way life's goingand everything.
(29:57):
But that was a huge one for meis Pink Floyd in 93.
And I haven't turned back since.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
And it's awesome when it's like that, when it's
you're helpless to it and itbecomes like the soundtrack of a
moment in your life.
Because, honestly, if you thinkabout it, you know when you say
people only listen to one typeof music, it's, that's just.
I don't understand that,because it says that one the
course of a day isn't never,doesn't feel the same from the
time you get up to the time yougo to sleep, and that's, you
know, definitely not throughyour life.
And I would definitely imaginethe most significant musical you
(30:30):
know, moments in your life thatat least been like something
kind of profound would be whenyou were hearing something kind
of against your will, you know,I mean, something significant
was happening in your life wouldbe like, oh shit, this is
playing.
It's rarely going to besomething that you choose you
know what I mean that that youwould put on, unless, that's,
you know, you're in your ownhome and you're listening to
something that you only you play.
But like something like that,especially if you like uh, like
(30:52):
we have that amusement park, uh,pretty close to here, cedar.
Like, if you go there you'relistening to stuff, you're not
necessarily unless you listen tonothing, but you know radio
hits, which is fine, there'snothing wrong with that.
That's his job too, you know,to make you feel something, to
make you do something.
What I really hate is when Ifeel like people abuse music and
(31:12):
make it a vehicle for their ownpleasure.
Personal agenda of like lookingcool, they weaponize it, man,
yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
But this is why I'm glad Instagram's around, because
when people make the reels I'llhear a tune and I'm like oh man
, what is that?
It's just like TikTok, you know.
So then I look to see what thegroup is, but then I go research
it myself and I'm like man,they've been out for like 10
years.
I've never even heard of themuntil this moment.
And then I'm like I go to amazonmusic and save, save, save,
(31:46):
save, download, download,download.
And I'm like holy cow man, I'mlike stocked up for like an
eternity uh like, uh the pixiesin fight club.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Have you seen fight club yeah, of course or know the
end of the movie where thebuilding's crumbling and they
play the acoustic song.
And they play when Is my Mind?
That's the Pixies.
The Pixies weren't really thatpopular.
You know what I mean.
That song you hear.
All kinds of bands are coveringthat, Just that song.
Now, like Miley Cyrus has doneit Okay, and they weren't that
big it's like movies man, againa movie.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
uh, we'll have a good soundtrack, and then from that
you would buy the soundtrackback in the day.
You know, even if it was justfor that one song, cause we
couldn't just pick and choosethat song until, of course,
limewire and, uh, the one thatMetallica sued.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Napster Me back in Metallica.
Yeah, napster, put me back inMetallica.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
But, jim, have you discovered music that you may
not have liked.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Like I said in the previous episodes I know I told
you, scott, that thanks toSpotify, we have a Spotify
account and all these other kindof apps like that.
It's just you have everything,every genre.
I like this band and you couldjust look up all their albums,
all their songs.
Were back in our day you had tospend 40 to 50 dollars to get
(33:09):
like just an album.
It was like I'm not wastingmoney if I don't like it and
stuff and commit it.
But now you could just go andmy friend, like a two years ago,
sent me a meme that was makingfun of like uh, van halen band.
But they uh, uh.
They put a jackie chan's faceon every one of the members of
(33:31):
van halen and it said uh chanamachanama.
The album was chanama and it waswas Chan Halen and I was
laughing so hard.
I didn't know it.
I didn't know it was JackieChan.
I was actually looking for theband on Google and I told him I
feel so stupid.
I was looking for the freakingband and it's Jackie Chan, but
(33:53):
then that that made me think.
I remember Loudness so I said,okay, let me look.
Uh, let me look at loudness.
And so then that took me down arabbit hole and I started
looking up 1980s japanese hairbands, hair metal bands, and I
have been on this kick.
That's like the biggest uhcrack cocaine that I've ever had
(34:15):
with music I'm listening tolike anthem, the band anthem
loud uh with a y.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Right, is it anthem with a y okay?
Speaker 1 (34:24):
yeah, uh, no, uh, I think it's just anthem with a n
t, uh, h e m, okay, uh, wow, wow, I'm listening to blizzard
reaction.
All these uh like tons of 80s,uh, japanese hair metal and like
what's.
What's brilliant about that wasthat a couple of them came to
(34:45):
america like loudness was thefirst one to come to america and
it they never really took off.
Big anthem came over and uh,ezo, aso and aso was uh, gene
simmons brought them over and hewanted to make them big in
America, but they never reallytook off.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
At first I thought you said Enzio, I was going to
say how you doing.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
No, but it's like what's great about Japanese hair
metal is that they'll sing onelyric in Japanese and then one
lyric in American.
And there's a lot of bands, alot of them phonetically learned
english by, you know, likerepeating and learning english
to to get for the song, and theyhave a lot of albums that
(35:31):
you'll you'll know one line, butyou don't know the japanese
line.
But me myself, I'm likememorizing how to sing and sing
it in japanese, so I'm almostknowing the words and it's like
and these guys I mean I swear togod, guys, we know 80s hair
metal and I'm like that's one ofmy favorite genres ever is 80s
(35:52):
hair metal okay, and then youall sudden, it's like this giant
warehouse opens and all this80s hair metal music comes to me
and this is this was going onin japan and us in the 80s.
We didn't know this was going onbecause we didn't have the
internet no, you didn't knowthat.
All these bands were doing thatand they sound awesome.
It sounds like brand new 80shair metal now just throwing at
(36:16):
you.
They usually advertise those inthe back of circus magazine like
the last two pages, you know orthere's a couple bands that
sound like american 80s bandsand I'm like this one sounds
like uh, kind of like epic, likegreat white and stuff, or not
like great white, but uh likeoperatic kind of.
Yeah, wow, wow, sounds likethat, okay.
(36:38):
And anthem or uh, yeah, anthemand loudness.
They're.
They're guitarists, I don'tknow which one, I can't remember
.
He patterned off eddie vanhalen in that.
So when you hear a lot of theirsongs, you're hearing eddie van
halen's notes and stuff andyou're like this is freaking
amazing, that's great I can'tget off this 80s uh japanese
(37:00):
hair metal that's uh rock androll, crazy nights right
Speaker 4 (37:04):
yeah, crazy nights for loudness okay, yeah, you
guys, you're talking about this,uh chan hailing and all that.
Uh, one band I discovered, likereally late, was dread
zeppppelin.
It's like the Jamaican LedZeppelin with the lead singer of
Elvis.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
And it actually works .
Did you ever hear the band MackSabbath?
Speaker 4 (37:31):
No, oh my God, oh the Ronald McDonald.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Yeah, this band does Black Sabbath, but they're
dressed in McDonald's likeRonald and Grimace and they play
music.
They took Ozzy to see a private, like he does a uh black
sabbath.
But they're dressed inmcdonald's like ronald and
grimace and they play music theytook ozzy.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
They took ozzy to see like a private and he didn't
know what.
What was going on.
It's like, yeah, welcome to maxsabbath.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
And they started playing like and ozzy aspern was
just smiling dude like superbig and but there's like so much
stuff man I'll have to give youguys a playlist of uh the
japanese, some of the from eachband.
But there's like so much stuff,man, I'll have to give you guys
a playlist of uh the japanese,some of the from each band but
there's like so much stuff inmusic that we haven't even
tapped in our generation.
Speaker 4 (38:11):
And yeah, I mean, that was japan.
That's just one country, whatabout?
Speaker 1 (38:15):
what about germany has?
Germany has like a bunch of uhmetal bands and stuff.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
You know like we were always talked about like
Russia's the bad country andeverything but man, they got
their stuff too and we haven'theard it.
Or like every country had theirlike 80s rock band.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Their stilt skins and , like you said, keith, it's
like the weather patterns.
You said I'll listen to thatfor like a couple days or a week
and then all of a sudden I'lljump to like classical music and
then, I'll jump.
I'll jump to like, uh, folkmusic from like europe or
something, or like.
I'll just start jumping allover the player.
Like the blues, I'll get allinto the blues.
(38:56):
That's the best man, that's thespice of life, right variety
I'll do motown forever andpeople at work looking at me
like I did not think you wouldlike motown.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
I'm like I know a lot about motown and that's crazy,
like keith was saying, to thinkthat a person only sticks to one
genre no and and not knowanything else.
What's going on.
I mean, you could like youdon't like old, our new country,
but you like the old country.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
That's the only ones I like is the old.
Speaker 4 (39:23):
Nowadays country sounds too pop.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Yeah, or that mumbling stuff everybody does.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
It's like there's no border between that genre, no
more between modern day countryand pop music.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Because some of the artists back then in country
were like you wanted, if youlike, were sad about you lost
your woman or something, or, oryou can't get that girl you want
, that's you listen to conwaytwitty, twitty.
That dude is like thirsty ashell, I mean he is like oh, if
you love my woman in tightfitting jeans or like when, that
(39:59):
when, when that guy's done withyou and dumps you, I'll be
there for you.
It's like, dude, take a showeror something, man.
Speaker 4 (40:05):
It's like the Cowardic County when they raped
his wife and beat her and thenhe came in and they all thought
he was funny because theythought he'd turn around and
walk away, but he was reallylocking the door and then he
took the whole gang out.
That's badass.
Speaker 5 (40:22):
You locking the door and then they took the whole
gang out.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
That's badass, you know, it's just uh, but there's
no music nowadays that compareto the 80s rock band.
There's none, no, and andthat's sad, like that genre is
gone because there's no rockbands anymore.
I mean, you got that screamingbullshit, guar stuff, you know
like I mean there are, they'rejust not to the top right you
(40:46):
know what I?
Speaker 2 (40:47):
mean, I could probably name you 20 killer rock
bands that are current rightnow that's on 80s no, that don't
sound like 80s.
No, no, that's.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
That's what I'm saying that sounds like, you
know, like motley crew.
You know, back in the day wethought we thought, damn, motley
crue is pretty hard.
Speaker 1 (41:03):
But then you listen to them now and they're on like
the oldies channel now and it'slike, yeah, you know, home,
sweet home, it's like all right,I mean last night I stayed up
watching a youtube video pastpast my normal bedtime because
it had underrated 80s uh metalbands that that started coming
out right when grunge took over,so they had no chance and
(41:24):
nobody wanted to back them.
Like right, like not.
Not a lot of people know whotriumph was, oh yeah never
surrender or like people why ishe in?
Speaker 4 (41:34):
that people didn't want to even give alice in
chains uh, uh, uh go becausethey thought that he wasn't like
a power rock singer and hewasn't like everybody else.
But they were badass, I enjoyedthem, you know and I just okay
this I recently just startedlistening to corn.
(41:56):
you know I've been to theirconcert but I've never really
sat down and I I'm listening toBlind and Freak on a Leash Like
I'm like wah.
And the reason why I startedpicking up on them is because I
seen the Carrie Underwood andthat dude on American Got Talent
and I'm like Carrie Underwoodis badass dude because she was
(42:17):
out there word for word, youknow, with the dude jamming with
them, and I thought that wasincredible.
So then I dude because she wasout there word for word, you
know, with the dude jamming withthem, and I thought that was
incredible.
So then I started listening tothe music and I'm like this is
cool again.
I was there to see them whenthey first started, but I was
with a girl and that was theonly reason why I was there is
just because impress her and uh,like with corn.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
I mean, I stopped it after a certain album, yeah, but
they've been making albumsevery year, every couple years,
so I I could just pick rightback up and start listening to
them and see, you know, see whatthat they, which ones I like
nowadays you know it's like uh,who's the lead singer?
Speaker 4 (42:53):
limp biscuit, uh fred durst yeah, when, when they
made their return with theoriginal band at lola
paloozaooza just a couple yearsago, they thought it was just
some old man walking on thestage, but it was Fred.
And then Fred used to wear thered hat but now he wears the red
rose glasses and he looks likesome old man, and he even
(43:15):
acknowledged it.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
He looked like Jeff Jarrett kind of.
Speaker 4 (43:19):
Yeah, but you know what man?
They made me want to listen totheir music again because he was
badass, you know.
And uh, there's just like somuch stuff out there that you
you see something or you hearsomething, and then when you do
your research is like 30 yearsago, yeah, like where was I?
What was I doing that at time?
(43:39):
You know, I only listened towhat was on the radio because
that's all we had.
Speaker 1 (43:44):
Maybe we're going to have to like have on once a week
or something.
We have our like musicselection or something like what
are we listening to today, orsomething you know that would be
.
I would be very much into that,Like the three of us give one
recommendation a week orsomething for music or something
.
Speaker 4 (44:00):
You know, it's like Keith, he's brought up killing
joke Like like uh three timesthree weeks in a row and I'm
like man, we're not evensponsored by this group and uh.
But now I want to see if I canget somebody in the band.
Speaker 1 (44:18):
I don't even care if it's like the the roadie.
Speaker 4 (44:20):
You know like, just like, appease you, because now I
kind of want to.
I I didn't check into it, but II want to know.
You know, like you, you put uh,a little like piece of corn in
my head or whatever man, youplanted the seed and and then
it's just like, sooner or laterI'm gonna be like right, let me
listen to these guys.
Speaker 2 (44:41):
Well, if anything, I would just hope you caught my
enthusiasm.
Speaker 4 (44:44):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, it's stuck in my head for three
weeks now, man, yeah.
Speaker 1 (44:49):
You're just going to say I'll do one song, ok, once,
and then all of a sudden you'relike, ok, maybe another song,
and then that's it.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
Right have to, because sometimes there's a good
chance you picked the wrongsong.
Speaker 4 (44:59):
Yeah, or you picked the B-side song, you know.
But moving on, man, let's digin a little deeper.
These are the big ones, thereal.
If I only knew life lessons,like, if I only knew that saying
yes to everything isn't noble,it's exhausting, I might have
(45:22):
saved myself from a few awkwardfavors, a couple of pyramid
schemes and helping a strangermove a piano up a fire escape.
Holy jesus, you know, becauseyou always want to make people
happy, it seems like, and likeif you got a pickup truck next
thing you know, you become amover because everybody wants
you to help them move in arefrigerator, up a little skinny
ass stairway and on the eighthfloor, no elevator, you know.
(45:46):
And we?
Speaker 1 (45:48):
we just did it yeah, I mean especially we, we hit the
big, uh, landmark year and uh,you realize I can't do
everything and I'm I'm guilty ofit for how my nature is and I
was, was, raised.
I mean you help everybody, youdon't say no, you always be nice
, you always.
And then, like you said, werealize I can't keep doing this.
I can't let everybody justgoing to use me and walk all
(46:09):
over me if I keep doing this.
Speaker 2 (46:11):
Yeah, happily, and feel like it was like they just
play in the game better than you.
Speaker 4 (46:17):
They expect you, they expect you, oh you, I expect
you to do this, so you're partof my plan, and it's like, no, I
can't do that or how about thisone, guys, and I'm sure we can
maybe all agree with this if Ionly knew credit cards aren't
free money, I would have gone onthat.
I wouldn't have gone out onthat late night shopping spree
and ended up the proud owner ofa fog machine in a pizza oven
(46:39):
I've only used once or twice.
Speaker 2 (46:42):
Yeah, see, I had a $200 credit card when I was 20,
and I maxed it out and didn'tpay it and I've never had
another one since.
Speaker 4 (46:50):
Good for you dude, good for you, you broke free.
I never spent like that.
I'm like 15 grand in the hole.
Speaker 1 (46:59):
That's because you're bragging about Timu and stuff
and look what I got, guys, lookwhat I got.
Well, I'll be honest, I boughtTimu.
Speaker 4 (47:06):
I got this for like $250 for $250, come on, and it's
a real.
Speaker 1 (47:15):
Or, as you said, jared Kiesel, there you go, boom
you're gonna need that $250when you get the old folks home
and stuff for your money, yourweekly money.
Speaker 4 (47:24):
It's like on the mess hall when we had Rocco the
voice that played Rocco's ModernLife I had to go out and buy
Rocco man.
You know, it's just, it's likeeverywhere, man.
But now I think my issue isstuff that I wanted when I was
younger and I, my family,couldn't afford.
You know, my mom and dad justcouldn't do it.
And now all of a sudden I seeit and I'm like, okay, I, I can
(47:48):
afford it.
Next thing, you know I'm indeep.
You know I got a war in my roomwith gi joe's running all over
the place fighting batman andeverybody else.
That's a toy.
You know, I'm not embarrassedto say I'm 52 and I still buy
toys.
Speaker 1 (48:02):
I don't care I just slowed down a lot because I,
like I said, I've got to cleanthis junk up and display what I
have buried and stuff and inboxes.
Why should I have it if it's inboxes?
Speaker 2 (48:13):
right.
But I mean you could.
You could have spent that moneydrinking, buying rounds at the
bar, buying food, you know, oreven in worst cases.
But you know putting it up yournose.
You know what I mean in very,in various, whatever in your
veins, various fucking otherplaces, that if you're getting
toys and whatnot, you know Imean ain't necessarily quite as
(48:34):
bad, you know, I mean you're notgoing to necessarily destroy
your life and your family's lifeby buying toys.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (48:40):
Not less like you would with, uh, you know saying
right, it's not like I sit in myunderwear with a big bowl of
cereal playing coming up withwrestling moves anymore.
Right, you know, right now Ikeep them in a package and they,
they actually grow in money.
You know, and I'm like man,it's like the stock market.
You gotta know when to get ridof them and when to take them in
(49:01):
.
Speaker 2 (49:01):
Yeah, and again, like we were saying earlier, if you
can find someone to buy them off, you.
Speaker 4 (49:07):
Right, exactly, they're only worth as much as
the person's willing to pay.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (49:13):
One life lesson I wish I would have known which I
still don't know because no oneshowed me, but I've been
watching videos a little bitonline like everybody else is
how to invest your money right,like put money in certain things
and how it make it grow andstuff.
I mean, there's ways I've seenpeople do it nowadays but I
(49:33):
never were was told, put it here, put it there, because nobody
wanted to.
I don't want to tell you whereto put it, then if you don't
make money you're going to blameme.
It's like, no, I could you helpout a little bit, you know?
Speaker 2 (49:43):
oh yeah, my mom's got investments that are still out
there.
So I mean, how's that?
How's them dinars doing mom?
You heard that one, thewhatever the money, where people
was buying the money, and it'slike, hey, when this goes dollar
for dollar, everybody who hasthis money is going to be
millionaires.
Well, my mom's invested in thatone.
We're still waiting on that oneto pay off.
Speaker 4 (50:04):
You know, I have here , even talking to my younger
self, I got a younger ScottBleach.
Tips are not a personality, ohmy gosh.
And then I go cargo pants withmore pockets than a pool table
is not fashion.
I go cargo pants with morepockets than a pool table is not
fashion Because remember themdays back when you had like the
(50:29):
Zumbas, and remember then theycame out with the Janko jeans
that you could sweep the floorwhile you walk because they just
hung off of you.
And then, to touch on what Jimwas just saying, putting off
learning how to budget is not anact of rebellion, it's just
math avoidance, because nowyou're trying to figure out how
much goes here, how much goesthere.
(50:50):
And yeah, it's been a lot incredit card repayments, but I'm
working on it.
I'm working on it.
The older Scott's trying to talkto the younger Scott like what
the hell?
Or how about this one guys in apersonal conversation?
We should hang out sometime.
(51:11):
This code for thisconversation's over and I'm
trying to escape politely.
It took me a while to readbetween those lines yeah or how
about this one?
It's not you, it's me, it's notme breaking up, it's you
breaking up, you don't want tohurt me.
(51:31):
It's a lot of things that Iwish that I could tell my
younger self.
If I can whisper one line to mylike 15 year old or 16 year old
self, I would really say watchthe credit cards, you know,
(51:52):
because with 30% interest, man,it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (51:56):
You know it's, it's crazy, just because I want
something right now or you'd sayto say to your younger self
don't uh stop worrying aboutwhat other people think of you.
Speaker 2 (52:07):
Nobody cares about you that's what I was gonna say
get out of the fucking feelingsyeah, I mean what you're
worrying about.
Speaker 1 (52:15):
Nobody's thinking about.
Speaker 2 (52:16):
Stop it you damn, snowflake, fuck the fuck up and
get a move on man Focus onyourself.
Speaker 1 (52:24):
Think about something and do it.
Just stop worrying about whatother people are going to think.
Speaker 4 (52:28):
Or if you can't fix it right now, don't stress about
it.
If you cannot think, if youcan't.
If you got a car repair and youcan't, you're going to fix it.
But if you can't fix it at thismoment, don't stress about it.
Think about how to come up witha game plan to fix it.
Speaker 1 (52:46):
Or let like negative thoughts in your head.
Just keep swimming in your headthinking negativity, negative.
It's like.
Stop thinking negative, juststop.
Just, you know what's going tohappen.
What's going to happen, what'sthat?
Don't stress about what youhave no control over.
Yeah, like you, you can't.
You, how are you going tocontrol this outcome?
Well, I can't.
(53:07):
Well, then, why are youworrying about it?
Speaker 2 (53:09):
yeah, right, you suffer more in theory than you
do in reality, or?
Speaker 4 (53:13):
don't, don't worry about something that hasn't
happened yet.
Yeah, that's bad.
Yeah, man, I hear so manypeople say, oh, I don't want to
go to this party because so andso, it's just going to be stupid

Thank you,
On this episode of the Powers Point Podcast, we
talk about this.
Did you ever fall in love witha music band that's been around
forever, or become obsessed witha TV show that had several
seasons and has already endedyears ago, and think to yourself
if I only knew, hey Scott, dropthe beat the beat.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
It's on season three.
Well, hello, hello.
Welcome back to the PowersPoint Podcast, Season 5, Episode
16.
The show where we talk aboutanything and everything.
We only have two rules here.
We don't talk religion and wedon't talk politics Because,
let's be honest, we're here tomake you laugh, not start a
heated family dinner argument.
And if you're new here, welcometo the show and the family.
(01:37):
And if you're a returninglistener, welcome back to the
madness.
You know the drill we aim forone or two solid laughs per
episode, but if you laugh threetimes, you owe each of us a
snack.
I'm Scott Powers and I'mhanging out with my partners in
podcasting crime.
I'm talking about the one andonly Jim Banks.
(01:57):
Hello, hello, hello.
And all the way from Ohio,Keith Mackey.
And I I like snacks, so you knowwhat I'm shooting for so
they're here to keep me honestor at least interrupt me when I
start straying off on a tangent,like I usually do.
They keep me back on the netthe right way.
(02:18):
So before we dive in today'stopic, I gotta ask you guys, man
, how was everybody's week?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
interesting.
I can say that I got I got,definitely got a funny story.
If you guys are ready for thisone um, ready, yeah, I was.
So you know, when my parentscoming back, I've been doing a
lot of work, uh on the house andgetting everything set up.
Well, at one point I was, uh,reconstructing stuff here in the
living room and I found thesetwo old uh edible cookies
(02:47):
marijuana edible cookies that Ihad from like two years ago.
They were still in the package.
I didn't plan on eating thembecause they're, you know, they
were like, you know, bricks andwhatever, and I don't really
like edibles to begin with.
But I took them and I set themon the kitchen counter and they
were maybe on the counter for 10minutes tops.
Well, I went in and I noticedthat one of them was missing off
(03:10):
the counter and I went upstairsand my daughter, who has never
touched a drug, a drop ofalcohol or anything in her life,
had it sitting in front of her.
She hadn't thank God, hadn'teaten it yet.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Like how many milligrams are we talking there?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
oh, like I think, a hundred milligrams, ten doses.
So it would have been yeah, itwould have been a nightmare and
a half and thank god again,thank god that did not happen
and it was.
So.
You know, I'm glad I noticed it, but you want to talk about
dodging one there.
So that definitely put me in ain a state of gratitude, if you
will do you eat it to get rid ofit?
(03:46):
No, I threw them away.
Like I said, they were too old.
They're, you know, a coupleyears old.
I don't know if they would haveeven been potent anymore.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Did she think it was a brownie or something?
She just thought it was aregular cookie.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
All she thought it was because it's fat, you know,
for children, you know youshould have said hey, snacky
mason, that's not yours, andjust exactly.
Well, she has this weirdtendency and I'm sure she
doesn't want me to tell this,but she had this weird tendency
of like, uh, you know, grabbingsodas, grabbing snacks or
whatever, and uh, it's not thatanybody ever tells her no, you
(04:17):
know, no, you can't have that,but it's, it's that thing, it's
like, well, you know, it's, it'sbetter to what do they say?
It's better to ask forforgiveness than permission yeah
, right you know what I mean.
So she like will grab somethingout of the fridge and she'll
like keep it held like rightunder, you know, at her side,
like, hey, good night everybody.
And we got these counters whereyou can't see what she's
walking through the kitchen withyou know what I mean.
(04:37):
So she walks up with it and soit's like that kind of thing,
and so that's what kind of setme off.
I was like this is why I tellyou to at least let me know.
You know what I mean, at leastsay something.
If you would have said, hey, isthis cookie okay, I'd have said
no, it's not.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
But she's practicing a career of stealing.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
How about you, Jim?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Um, nothing much.
I really can't think ofanything.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Nothing to that level .
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Yeah, just work.
And of course we had to go backup to Chicago again and I had
to have my niece watch Jimmy andI had to clear off the basement
, the bedroom, the bed that Ihad.
I was sorting all my junk onlike in the basement, separating
, throwing stuff away, and thenonce she came over to I really
(05:24):
didn't realize the last, thehours before that she was
spending the night.
So I'm like crap, I gotta movethat stuff back over to the
other side of the room, likemove a whole half a room back
over just so she could stay thenight.
And then on my next day off Igotta put it all back here.
And it's just like god.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
I just went backwards again trying to clean this junk
up it seems like when you tryto start cleaning it's kind of
worthless the time.
You know you wasted time yeah,and now you gotta do it two or
three times more, and you guysknow it's not like when we were
kids, where there was infinitetime.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I mean, we realize how precious time is and I'm
looking around near your houseand you're like I got a lot of
stuff to do and I gottacalculate the time to do all
this stuff.
So you can't do nothing.
Fun because you got all thishuge stuff to you know, get rid
of and stuff.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
So the topic of our show is kind of like what you
kind of do right now if I onlyknew she was staying.
Yeah see, so this topic fits sowell into everyday life.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah, and you get so caught up you don't realize
something you know that younever knew.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Something became routine without you realizing it
.
Huh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Or an addiction, yeah , candy.
So it sounds like you guys havebeen keeping busy, though, and
we are going to take a quickcommercial break, but when we

Speaker 4 (08:28):
Welcome back and let's kick it off with those
little day-to-day things that welearned a little too late in
life, Like first, let me did youguys know that the hole in the
pot handle is not just forhanging it on the wall, it's a
spoon rest.
I spent years slapping spoonson paper towels like some kind
(08:49):
of budget chef, when the pot hadmy back the whole time.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
I never knew that.
It's got the holes and you justput, like if you're doing sauce
, you just put a spoon right inthe pot.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I see videos like that all the time and I'm like
like the whole topic is here.
I never knew that and I wish Iwould have known that.
Or even some of the ladles thathave like the claw part on one
part of the ladle, yeah, and ithas a hole in the center and if
you put the spaghetti likethrough the hole, it's like one
serving or something.
(09:21):
Yeah, yeah, I'm like how come Inever knew that?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
And why weren't?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
we taught right and there's no internet.
Then that was the thing is.
You had to, you had to gorillastyle everything.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
You had to get it like like a renegade man, you
know it's true, and and by thetime the internet came in, what
around 94, 95 ish yeah, whereaspeople like me probably didn't
get on until about 99 2000 rightand and with lime wire and
everything else, uh.
But yeah, there's like so manythings out there now that you
(09:55):
see it on tv or little lifehacks and they're like if I only
knew that would have made mywhole life a lot simpler back in
the day someone, just just.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
They had a video online, one of those quick
videos, and it showed how tofold your bed sheets.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Like the elastic rounded parts.
It shows like three steps howto fold it and where to grab on
the folded parts and it comesout like a store or something
perfect.
And my wife knows how to do it.
She's just watched it a coupletimes and I still can't figure
out how they fold, fold, fold,done.
Yeah, those folded sheets,because I didn't.
(10:33):
Whenever I do it it's allwrinkled and uneven and stuff.
It's like a big wad and I'mlike, oh, it's close enough.
It's a legitimate effort too.
The president isn't coming.
Who cares?
Speaker 4 (10:44):
They say that if you keep the tag of the sheet on the
lower right-hand side, it'seasier to fold, go figure.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I always get the job of folding things because my arm
wingspan is so long.
Yeah, you fold everything, okay.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Did you guys ever know the little paper ketchup
cups at restaurants?
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yes, I found this out a couple years ago.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
You'd actually expand them and you could actually put
the fries on this thing.
It gets that big.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, if you pulled the wrinkle parts or
straightened it out.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
If you pull the whole thing out it makes like a tray.
That's amazing.
I never knew that man Me neither.
So there's like again, likeit's again.
It's not just like everydaylife things, but it could be
movies, tvs, music, and we'reall generally the same age here,
(11:37):
yeah, you know.
So we all basically have grownup with the same technology and
man, there's a lot of things outthere.
Basically have grown up withthe same technology and, uh, man
, there's a lot of things outthere.
So what else stuff do you guys?
If you only knew.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Go first, Jim, go ahead, buddy.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I'm trying to think.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
It's like so much.
How about preheating the oven?
You didn't know aboutpreheating the oven.
Well, I do for the last year ortwo, but it didn't take it.
It's like my kids she don'tpreheat the oven oh my god,
really, oh wow or boil the waterfirst and then put the pasta in
.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
She'll put the pasta in the pot and just turn it on
yeah, that's called cold watermethod, though that's uh, some
people swear by that that it'sbetter right, and that's what I
do.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
You know, and I've always boiled and salted and
everything, but I watcheverybody just throw cold pizza
in the oven, turn the oven onand call it a day.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I didn't know about when you boil eggs or make a
hard-boiled egg.
I never knew.
Once you get the eggs out orsomething, you put them in a
bowl of ice.
Yeah, and when I found out,like two years ago, all of a
sudden I see everybody likedoing it in videos.
I'm like those videos weren'taround you.
(12:54):
Everybody just found this stuffout because I never seen any
recipe or anybody in my familyput it in ice after they've to
easy peel or something itseparates it right when you put
it when it's like the swelling,it's something about like it.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
It makes it reduced to where it's.
It puts like a little bit ofspace between the the body of
the egg and then the shell.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
And I still see a million different ways to make
it to where you don't they justthey fall off.
You don't have to sit there andpick the shells off, but I can
never do it.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
I still have sit there and pick the shells off,
but I can never do it.
I still.
How about gavin the, the hostof majors mess hall, and he's
also like a friend of the show.
Have you seen his egg trick,which, like, baffles me every
single time?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
no he'll.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
He'll take a little tip off the shell after it's
boiled off the bottom, and apiece of tip or like a little
hole in the thing, and he blowsthe egg right out the shell okay
, I've seen that done.
I haven't seen him do it thoughand it's perfect no divots in
the eggs or anything.
And I'm like, well, if you'redoing it for yourself, that's
cool, but if you're doing it forlike guests, you're like
(13:55):
blowing on their eggs, yeah,yeah now if you're good at
blowing.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
I didn't know this about the man I mean yeah, I
definitely haven't seen gavinblow eggs yet.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Yeah dude, that's a.
That's the only fans for uh,right we?
All need money, yeah, how about, uh, for entertainment?
Okay, uh, there are bands,albums, shows and movies that I
completely ignored when theyfirst came out only to discover
later that they were incredible.
(14:24):
My biggest show that I justheld off and held off for, and
again, gavin's like you, gottawatch it, gotta watch it.
And when I watched it I waslike a fish on the hook.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Dude, uh breaking bad I was gonna say the same thing.
That would be the same one forme, except, uh, I actually don't
remember how we wound upwatching it, but that was the
same, as we didn't watchBreaking Bad forever.
And then we caught on, right, Ithink, before Better Call Saul
started, so at least by thatpoint we were caught up.
But through the entire seasonof Breaking Bad, though, yeah,
(14:55):
we didn't watch it either.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
It was like the Sopranos.
Everybody still tells me thisday.
Got to watch it, got to watchit, and I'm still putting it off
.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Same.
Thing.
We haven't watched it either.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I've watched the Sopranos.
I've never seen Breaking Bad.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Oh, dude, I'll start the Sopranos.
You start Breaking Bad.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
What's funny is the Sopranos.
I was watching it before itended and stuff, because I
caught it right before the lastseason or two and whenever I'd
hear that theme song because, uh, my italian family and stuff
I'd go to my grandma's house.
Yeah and when in the intro ofthe video you see him driving
and now you see the landmarksand stuff while you hear the
(15:39):
song.
And when I go to my grandma's Itold my wife I just look at the
landmarks going into gary andstuff and seeing by her
neighborhood and that, and itjust put myself in that you know
the going to the Italian houseand stuff.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Well, like everyone was talking about it, nonstop,
you know, breaking bad.
And I thought, nah, I get it,it's about drugs and drama.
Then I watched it and suddenlyI'm Googling what a Heisenberger
is and and I can't.
I wish there was more, you know.
So that's like a drug, you know.
And then I'm not gonna ruin itout there.
(16:12):
But the ending of the seriesit's like did this happen or did
this not happen?
You know?
Now I'm like I'm like any othergood show.
You don't want to end, and whenit does, you're're like ah, it
should be back, it could comeback, it can come back.
And here it is.
What, 10 years later?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
We only get like a Jesse story man, yeah, El Camino
right yeah.
Or how about another TV show?
Man, I really put off theOffice.
Uh, the english, the americanversion.
Yeah, I've seen like theenglish version with ricky
gervais and it was good.
You know it was a little slow.
(16:56):
But then I was opened up to theamerican version and I was like
, oh, here's like the next methlab I'm working on here and I
had to watch like five episodesa day.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I've seen only a couple episodes of both series.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I've never seen one of either.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
It has that awkward.
Merlene hates that kind ofhumor.
That awkward humor, yeah, wheresomeone's doing something so
cringe as the kids say cringeworthy, and it's just dying
laughter.
She can't stand that.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
But I find a little bit of human, human, uh,
humorous well, it's also episodeone of both american and the uk
version.
They're exactly the same, justdifferent characters, which I
thought, oh, this is gonna bekind of boring, you know.
But then they start doing someother stuff and the cast become
(17:51):
amazing the more you watch, youknow, and and then it.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
I just started because you start pointing out
people at your work that look,that act just like some of those
characters and stuff right andI, I love how, yeah, like you
said, I can take somebody and belike well, this is so-and-so,
you know trying to be cool andthey're just a jerk or something
yeah, and then I also.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Now you want to start doing videos in the background,
while you can see the officeworkers in the background
working you know and and you'retalking shit about them you know
on camera, uh, you guys got anytv shows that you guys got
hooked on or anything that youput off uh, well, we weren't.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
We caught into uh letter kenny, actually about
four or five seasons in beforewe, and obviously that turned
out to be a big one for fuckingfor me personally, geez.
But um, yeah, we weren't likeuh right off the jump.
You know from that it took us alittle.
It wasn't because we kind ofput it off, it was just that we
was unaware of it.
You know, I mean, a friend ofmine, uh, came and told me about
(18:54):
it and the first thing Ithought was that uh wayne looked
like uh matt hughes from theufc and so I was like, okay, I
could probably watch this.
This looks funny enough.
By the end of the episode, bythe time I saw McMurray, by the
time I saw McMurray, that was it.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
I was sold and that's obviously still one of our
favorites it's like I startedtrailer park boys late in life,
you know them too, yeah and thefirst seven seasons I was like
way behind.
And then I, I watched them andthey became like my, my new
friends.
You know, I had to watch them.
(19:29):
But then letter kenny came in,like I used to watch the stuff
on youtube or pirate it, and uh,I even had to tell uh daryl
that I was pirating it, right?
But uh, all of a sudden, I likethat better than the trailer
park boys and I was like man,what is this madness?
you know, I thought nothingwould ever do that to me right
(19:50):
uh, shorezy, I heard is the sameway, I haven't watched one
episode, yet shorezy wicked.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I've only seen like three or four or five episodes.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Oh yeah, what do you think so far?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
It's pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
That show gets me jacked, like just wanting to ask
, whatever you know what I mean,I don't know I get pumped up
after watching that show.
I love Shorzy, I love thatcharacter, I love the whole, you
know, set the tone, thehumanness of it, that, just all
of it.
I love it all.
I love it all.
Quiso's a quiso's a bad bitch,if I may say so.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
I mean not that he gives a shit what I think, but I
think you know I dig, I dig thewhole cast.
I know you.
You have a different feelingit's a case-by-case basis.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
You know, I love all I love, I love them all.
But you know, I mean obviouslyI've seen less than what I feel
like is less than human sides ofa couple of them.
But that's with anything.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
You and I both love Connor on there.
That's our boy.
I want to try to get him on theshow.
That should be no problem.
That's another show.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
That's why I watched this show the first time was
because he was on.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
With the gas mask.
Yeah, no, no's.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Why I watched this show the first time was because
he was on With the gas mask andthe yeah, no, no, I mean this,
the Powers Point podcast.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Oh, okay, wow.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yeah, it was the reason that I discovered this
podcast, because I was, you know, because I was in contact with
him all the time, and then Ifound out that he was on here,
so that was my like, I hadwatched, you know, it was
probably what?
A year or two before I wasactually on it myself, you know
yeah, yeah, wow, that's prettycool man it's crazy coincidence,
(21:23):
is it not?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
no, I mean, yeah, it is man, it is uh any any other
movies or tv shows or the thingabout tv shows and movies is
that I've I I'm bad at watchinglike trying to finish watching
stuff, or like something's beenout for a long time and I
haven't watched it and myco-worker and everybody's like
(21:47):
you how have you not seen this?
It's been like five or tenyears and I'm like I just I jump
onto other stuff or I'm notpaying attention and then I want
to finish stuff.
But I never like uh Marvel'sdaredevil show.
I really like how uh D'Onofrioplayed Kingpin.
Yep, and I I was like this is,he is one of the greatest and
(22:08):
I'm watching it, but I can onlywatch.
I only watched one season sofar and I never finished.
Yeah, or Cobra Kai.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
I watched.
Well, now daredevil's back.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
So yeah, C yeah.
Or Cobra Kai I watched.
Well, now Daredevil's back.
So yeah, Cobra Kai.
I watched one season and I'mlike this is frickin awesome and
then I just never finished.
Or Black Sails I like, BlackSails rules, but I never
finished it.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Do you ever see it kind of like like weather
patterns?
You know you look at weatherpatterns over top the map and
they circle.
Yeah, and sometimes one circlesover here and sometimes you
know what I mean.
And circles over here, andsometimes you know what I mean.
It circles over, that's kind ofhow I see it, it's like if
you're not ready for it oryou're just not, you know, in
the vicinity at the time, youknow I mean it doesn't
necessarily mean you're nevergonna be, it just means you
haven't been in the case,especially if something that
(22:49):
you're gonna enjoy, it's kind ofnice to know that you still
have something waiting for youif we were all like in our teens
yeah, we would have binged allthat oh yeah, you have nothing
else to do but growing up andand being a parent and and life
hitting you and all that it kindof like pushes whatever you
want to see farther and fartherback because you forget about it
(23:10):
, you know the main thing is,back when we were younger, in
our youth, in the eighties,seventies and eighties,
something came along that wasall you saw and everybody talked
about, so you focused on it.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Now there's like 20 streaming apps or more, and they
each have 500 live channels orsomething.
There's so much to watch youcan.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
I mean, I can go back and watch Columbo, all the old
Columbo's or something, or uh uh, go back and watch colombo, all
the old colombos or something,or uh, uh, just one more
question yeah, yeah, uh, if youdon't mind, and it's like that
was a genius show and stuff andI never I never appreciated or
watched it when I was a kid.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I'm like you could do all this stuff any.
You pick any show, any movie,you could just jump in and watch
.
We're just flooded with allthis stuff to watch.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
There's no time you know you say that.
But you know, uh, one of myco-workers.
He likes to bring up quotesfrom old tv shows and he's like,
oh, remember when fish saidthis and fish said that, and I'm
like fish next thing.
You know, I'm watching barneymiller man, I've never yes, like
when I was a little kid Ididn't care for a cop show.
You know I didn't understand it.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Now, like I get it, you know, and now I'm watching
barney miller and especially,that's for sure, I knew that
baseline because barney millerwas on right before the three
stooges well, he showed me.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
He showed me the episode where, uh, everybody ate
hash brownies yeah, yeah andthe thing, and everybody was
high, I was a kite and and uh,and they're like don't tell
nobody, you know it was just, itwas funny, man and the the with
today, with reality shows andeverybody trying to just I want
to be rich and I want to be ontv.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
but back then they were like stories and, like you
know, it was more creative andfunnier and there wasn't so
everybody all worried aboutdon't say this and talk to, you
can't have a white person saythis about a black and or or you
can't talk about Asians orMexicans.
I mean, everybody was just allparanoid now.
But back then, everybodyequally, just for jokes and
(25:08):
insults.
You know it was all in funny,it was just all it made sense.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
And the first priority was talent.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, you watch Sanfordford and son.
That stuff is a riot.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
that's hilarious some people don't want to give it a
chance because they think it'sracist.
And it may have been now or itis now, but it was funny back
then and everybody accepted itand you knew it wasn't all mean
and hateful and stuff it wasjust for the sake of comedy.
You had them, the, the bunkersand and the jeffersons.
(25:42):
You know those were the threebig ones that were really
pushing the line and uh.
But I watch it now and I stilllaugh at it and I'm not a racist
but I enjoy, like, especially,like you said, sanford and son,
you got the all the races rightthere and you know, having a
good laugh, you know, and that'swhat is taken away from us
(26:02):
nowadays is because everythingis so woke.
You know you want to laughbecause it was funny, it is
funny, but then you're like youdon't want to laugh because then
you feel wrong and everybody'slike either remaking something
to be in their nowadaysstandards or something, and it's
taking away none.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Nobody's doing nothing creative and all the
creative stuff was back then andstuff and they're ruining them
too.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Man, they redid good times like come on, man.
Good times is one of myfavorite from the as long as I
can remember, good times hasbeen one of my probably top five
shows.
Yeah, they just I don't know.
I barely saw what they did withit.
New, but I'm not.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
I don't like it at all or they tried a magnum pi a
couple years ago yeah or hawaii50 yeah, or uh uh they did punky
brewster, they did wonder yearsagain.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Oh really, yeah, yeah , uh, but I won't get into that
but you know, oh shit, okay, Iremember now never mind, we talk
about tv, we talk about movies,but there's a big genre that
that really gets us.
Because we do it more, welisten a lot of music.
Let's just say I used to mockgenres because I didn't
(27:16):
understand them yeah you know,then one day I actually listened
to what I used to make fun of,and then I'm like I'll hear
vibing stuff I once swore Ihated.
So growth is real yeah, whatkind of music or groups.
Did you guys hear that you maynot have liked as a kid, but but
(27:37):
now you're like man.
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Yeah, well, obviously , kind of what inspired this
episode is my obsession and lovefor the killing joke, and
that's since they've been around, you know, since I think, like
around 78, 77, something likethat.
But honestly I don't think my16-year-old self would have been
ready for them.
You know what I mean.
I think maybe I needed to, youknow, and I was.
(28:01):
I've been listening to him sinceprobably, I don't know, 2000,
something like that, whenever Icould start, I guess,
downloading shit for free, youknow, whatever big giveaway.
But you know, I started wantingeverything and then I would go
to the library and I would grabCDs from the library and I would
burn them from that.
You know, go to the library andI would grab CDs from the
library and I would burn themfrom there, you know.
So, whatever source, I wasalways trying to build my
collection.
I've been studying basicallysince I was, you know, 15, 16
(28:21):
years old, um, but, like I said,I don't really think, uh, you
know, my 16 year old self maybenot even my like 26, 27 year old
self maybe would have been asready for him as I am now.
It's like I feel like I had tosee and hear all the rest of the
stuff that I do like to catchthem and hear them the way that
I hear them now.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
You know, when I was in Somalia, I never listened to
Pink Floyd before.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
And this was late 92, 93.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
And I used to lay like when it was dark out.
It was dark out becauseeverybody stole all the copper
and everything else from thetelephone lines and the
electricity lines.
And then the bath had thesebig-ass 50,000-gallon water bags
, man, for the showers and allthat, and it was like a huge
(29:14):
waterbed.
And for the kids that don'tknow what a waterbed is, and it
was like a huge waterbed and forthe kids that don't know what a
waterbed is, you filled up amattress of water and heated it
up with a heater and it feltgreat.
So I used to listen, I laid upon the big shower bag and then
all of a sudden I hearcomfortably numb and I could see
all the stars, dude, and it waslike I was high without being
(29:36):
high, you know.
And from then on, floyd touchesme, man, you know.
Their songs hold up to this day.
You know.
Probably some more songs holdup more today than before, you
know, with the way life's goingand everything.
(29:57):
But that was a huge one for meis Pink Floyd in 93.
And I haven't turned back since.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
And it's awesome when it's like that, when it's
you're helpless to it and itbecomes like the soundtrack of a
moment in your life.
Because, honestly, if you thinkabout it, you know when you say
people only listen to one typeof music, it's, that's just.
I don't understand that,because it says that one the
course of a day isn't never,doesn't feel the same from the
time you get up to the time yougo to sleep, and that's, you
know, definitely not throughyour life.
And I would definitely imaginethe most significant musical you
(30:30):
know, moments in your life thatat least been like something
kind of profound would be whenyou were hearing something kind
of against your will, you know,I mean, something significant
was happening in your life wouldbe like, oh shit, this is
playing.
It's rarely going to besomething that you choose you
know what I mean that that youwould put on, unless, that's,
you know, you're in your ownhome and you're listening to
something that you only you play.
But like something like that,especially if you like uh, like
(30:52):
we have that amusement park, uh,pretty close to here, cedar.
Like, if you go there you'relistening to stuff, you're not
necessarily unless you listen tonothing, but you know radio
hits, which is fine, there'snothing wrong with that.
That's his job too, you know,to make you feel something, to
make you do something.
What I really hate is when Ifeel like people abuse music and
(31:12):
make it a vehicle for their ownpleasure.
Personal agenda of like lookingcool, they weaponize it, man,
yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
But this is why I'm glad Instagram's around, because
when people make the reels I'llhear a tune and I'm like oh man
, what is that?
It's just like TikTok, you know.
So then I look to see what thegroup is, but then I go research
it myself and I'm like man,they've been out for like 10
years.
I've never even heard of themuntil this moment.
And then I'm like I go to amazonmusic and save, save, save,
(31:46):
save, download, download,download.
And I'm like holy cow man, I'mlike stocked up for like an
eternity uh like, uh the pixiesin fight club.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Have you seen fight club yeah, of course or know the
end of the movie where thebuilding's crumbling and they
play the acoustic song.
And they play when Is my Mind?
That's the Pixies.
The Pixies weren't really thatpopular.
You know what I mean.
That song you hear.
All kinds of bands are coveringthat, Just that song.
Now, like Miley Cyrus has doneit Okay, and they weren't that
big it's like movies man, againa movie.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
uh, we'll have a good soundtrack, and then from that
you would buy the soundtrackback in the day.
You know, even if it was justfor that one song, cause we
couldn't just pick and choosethat song until, of course,
limewire and, uh, the one thatMetallica sued.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Napster Me back in Metallica.
Yeah, napster, put me back inMetallica.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
But, jim, have you discovered music that you may
not have liked.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Like I said in the previous episodes I know I told
you, scott, that thanks toSpotify, we have a Spotify
account and all these other kindof apps like that.
It's just you have everything,every genre.
I like this band and you couldjust look up all their albums,
all their songs.
Were back in our day you had tospend 40 to 50 dollars to get
(33:09):
like just an album.
It was like I'm not wastingmoney if I don't like it and
stuff and commit it.
But now you could just go andmy friend, like a two years ago,
sent me a meme that was makingfun of like uh, van halen band.
But they uh, uh.
They put a jackie chan's faceon every one of the members of
(33:31):
van halen and it said uh chanamachanama.
The album was chanama and it waswas Chan Halen and I was
laughing so hard.
I didn't know it.
I didn't know it was JackieChan.
I was actually looking for theband on Google and I told him I
feel so stupid.
I was looking for the freakingband and it's Jackie Chan, but
(33:53):
then that that made me think.
I remember Loudness so I said,okay, let me look.
Uh, let me look at loudness.
And so then that took me down arabbit hole and I started
looking up 1980s japanese hairbands, hair metal bands, and I
have been on this kick.
That's like the biggest uhcrack cocaine that I've ever had
(34:15):
with music I'm listening tolike anthem, the band anthem
loud uh with a y.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Right, is it anthem with a y okay?
Speaker 1 (34:24):
yeah, uh, no, uh, I think it's just anthem with a n
t, uh, h e m, okay, uh, wow, wow, I'm listening to blizzard
reaction.
All these uh like tons of 80s,uh, japanese hair metal and like
what's.
What's brilliant about that wasthat a couple of them came to
(34:45):
america like loudness was thefirst one to come to america and
it they never really took off.
Big anthem came over and uh,ezo, aso and aso was uh, gene
simmons brought them over and hewanted to make them big in
America, but they never reallytook off.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
At first I thought you said Enzio, I was going to
say how you doing.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
No, but it's like what's great about Japanese hair
metal is that they'll sing onelyric in Japanese and then one
lyric in American.
And there's a lot of bands, alot of them phonetically learned
english by, you know, likerepeating and learning english
to to get for the song, and theyhave a lot of albums that
(35:31):
you'll you'll know one line, butyou don't know the japanese
line.
But me myself, I'm likememorizing how to sing and sing
it in japanese, so I'm almostknowing the words and it's like
and these guys I mean I swear togod, guys, we know 80s hair
metal and I'm like that's one ofmy favorite genres ever is 80s
(35:52):
hair metal okay, and then youall sudden, it's like this giant
warehouse opens and all this80s hair metal music comes to me
and this is this was going onin japan and us in the 80s.
We didn't know this was going onbecause we didn't have the
internet no, you didn't knowthat.
All these bands were doing thatand they sound awesome.
It sounds like brand new 80shair metal now just throwing at
(36:16):
you.
They usually advertise those inthe back of circus magazine like
the last two pages, you know orthere's a couple bands that
sound like american 80s bandsand I'm like this one sounds
like uh, kind of like epic, likegreat white and stuff, or not
like great white, but uh likeoperatic kind of.
Yeah, wow, wow, sounds likethat, okay.
(36:38):
And anthem or uh, yeah, anthemand loudness.
They're.
They're guitarists, I don'tknow which one, I can't remember
.
He patterned off eddie vanhalen in that.
So when you hear a lot of theirsongs, you're hearing eddie van
halen's notes and stuff andyou're like this is freaking
amazing, that's great I can'tget off this 80s uh japanese
(37:00):
hair metal that's uh rock androll, crazy nights right
Speaker 4 (37:04):
yeah, crazy nights for loudness okay, yeah, you
guys, you're talking about this,uh chan hailing and all that.
Uh, one band I discovered, likereally late, was dread
zeppppelin.
It's like the Jamaican LedZeppelin with the lead singer of
Elvis.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
And it actually works .
Did you ever hear the band MackSabbath?
Speaker 4 (37:31):
No, oh my God, oh the Ronald McDonald.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Yeah, this band does Black Sabbath, but they're
dressed in McDonald's likeRonald and Grimace and they play
music.
They took Ozzy to see a private, like he does a uh black
sabbath.
But they're dressed inmcdonald's like ronald and
grimace and they play music theytook ozzy.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
They took ozzy to see like a private and he didn't
know what.
What was going on.
It's like, yeah, welcome to maxsabbath.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
And they started playing like and ozzy aspern was
just smiling dude like superbig and but there's like so much
stuff man I'll have to give youguys a playlist of uh the
japanese, some of the from eachband.
But there's like so much stuff,man, I'll have to give you guys
a playlist of uh the japanese,some of the from each band but
there's like so much stuff inmusic that we haven't even
tapped in our generation.
Speaker 4 (38:11):
And yeah, I mean, that was japan.
That's just one country, whatabout?
Speaker 1 (38:15):
what about germany has?
Germany has like a bunch of uhmetal bands and stuff.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
You know like we were always talked about like
Russia's the bad country andeverything but man, they got
their stuff too and we haven'theard it.
Or like every country had theirlike 80s rock band.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Their stilt skins and , like you said, keith, it's
like the weather patterns.
You said I'll listen to thatfor like a couple days or a week
and then all of a sudden I'lljump to like classical music and
then, I'll jump.
I'll jump to like, uh, folkmusic from like europe or
something, or like.
I'll just start jumping allover the player.
Like the blues, I'll get allinto the blues.
(38:56):
That's the best man, that's thespice of life, right variety
I'll do motown forever andpeople at work looking at me
like I did not think you wouldlike motown.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
I'm like I know a lot about motown and that's crazy,
like keith was saying, to thinkthat a person only sticks to one
genre no and and not knowanything else.
What's going on.
I mean, you could like youdon't like old, our new country,
but you like the old country.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
That's the only ones I like is the old.
Speaker 4 (39:23):
Nowadays country sounds too pop.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Yeah, or that mumbling stuff everybody does.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
It's like there's no border between that genre, no
more between modern day countryand pop music.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Because some of the artists back then in country
were like you wanted, if youlike, were sad about you lost
your woman or something, or, oryou can't get that girl you want
, that's you listen to conwaytwitty, twitty.
That dude is like thirsty ashell, I mean he is like oh, if
you love my woman in tightfitting jeans or like when, that
(39:59):
when, when that guy's done withyou and dumps you, I'll be
there for you.
It's like, dude, take a showeror something, man.
Speaker 4 (40:05):
It's like the Cowardic County when they raped
his wife and beat her and thenhe came in and they all thought
he was funny because theythought he'd turn around and
walk away, but he was reallylocking the door and then he
took the whole gang out.
That's badass.
Speaker 5 (40:22):
You locking the door and then they took the whole
gang out.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
That's badass, you know, it's just uh, but there's
no music nowadays that compareto the 80s rock band.
There's none, no, and andthat's sad, like that genre is
gone because there's no rockbands anymore.
I mean, you got that screamingbullshit, guar stuff, you know
like I mean there are, they'rejust not to the top right you
(40:46):
know what I?
Speaker 2 (40:47):
mean, I could probably name you 20 killer rock
bands that are current rightnow that's on 80s no, that don't
sound like 80s.
No, no, that's.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
That's what I'm saying that sounds like, you
know, like motley crew.
You know, back in the day wethought we thought, damn, motley
crue is pretty hard.
Speaker 1 (41:03):
But then you listen to them now and they're on like
the oldies channel now and it'slike, yeah, you know, home,
sweet home, it's like all right,I mean last night I stayed up
watching a youtube video pastpast my normal bedtime because
it had underrated 80s uh metalbands that that started coming
out right when grunge took over,so they had no chance and
(41:24):
nobody wanted to back them.
Like right, like not.
Not a lot of people know whotriumph was, oh yeah never
surrender or like people why ishe in?
Speaker 4 (41:34):
that people didn't want to even give alice in
chains uh, uh, uh go becausethey thought that he wasn't like
a power rock singer and hewasn't like everybody else.
But they were badass, I enjoyedthem, you know and I just okay
this I recently just startedlistening to corn.
(41:56):
you know I've been to theirconcert but I've never really
sat down and I I'm listening toBlind and Freak on a Leash Like
I'm like wah.
And the reason why I startedpicking up on them is because I
seen the Carrie Underwood andthat dude on American Got Talent
and I'm like Carrie Underwoodis badass dude because she was
(42:17):
out there word for word, youknow, with the dude jamming with
them, and I thought that wasincredible.
So then I dude because she wasout there word for word, you
know, with the dude jamming withthem, and I thought that was
incredible.
So then I started listening tothe music and I'm like this is
cool again.
I was there to see them whenthey first started, but I was
with a girl and that was theonly reason why I was there is
just because impress her and uh,like with corn.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
I mean, I stopped it after a certain album, yeah, but
they've been making albumsevery year, every couple years,
so I I could just pick rightback up and start listening to
them and see, you know, see whatthat they, which ones I like
nowadays you know it's like uh,who's the lead singer?
Speaker 4 (42:53):
limp biscuit, uh fred durst yeah, when, when they
made their return with theoriginal band at lola
paloozaooza just a couple yearsago, they thought it was just
some old man walking on thestage, but it was Fred.
And then Fred used to wear thered hat but now he wears the red
rose glasses and he looks likesome old man, and he even
(43:15):
acknowledged it.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
He looked like Jeff Jarrett kind of.
Speaker 4 (43:19):
Yeah, but you know what man?
They made me want to listen totheir music again because he was
badass, you know.
And uh, there's just like somuch stuff out there that you
you see something or you hearsomething, and then when you do
your research is like 30 yearsago, yeah, like where was I?
What was I doing that at time?
(43:39):
You know, I only listened towhat was on the radio because
that's all we had.
Speaker 1 (43:44):
Maybe we're going to have to like have on once a week
or something.
We have our like musicselection or something like what
are we listening to today, orsomething you know that would be
.
I would be very much into that,Like the three of us give one
recommendation a week orsomething for music or something
.
Speaker 4 (44:00):
You know, it's like Keith, he's brought up killing
joke Like like uh three timesthree weeks in a row and I'm
like man, we're not evensponsored by this group and uh.
But now I want to see if I canget somebody in the band.
Speaker 1 (44:18):
I don't even care if it's like the the roadie.
Speaker 4 (44:20):
You know like, just like, appease you, because now I
kind of want to.
I I didn't check into it, but II want to know.
You know, like you, you put uh,a little like piece of corn in
my head or whatever man, youplanted the seed and and then
it's just like, sooner or laterI'm gonna be like right, let me
listen to these guys.
Speaker 2 (44:41):
Well, if anything, I would just hope you caught my
enthusiasm.
Speaker 4 (44:44):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, it's stuck in my head for three
weeks now, man, yeah.
Speaker 1 (44:49):
You're just going to say I'll do one song, ok, once,
and then all of a sudden you'relike, ok, maybe another song,
and then that's it.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
Right have to, because sometimes there's a good
chance you picked the wrongsong.
Speaker 4 (44:59):
Yeah, or you picked the B-side song, you know.
But moving on, man, let's digin a little deeper.
These are the big ones, thereal.
If I only knew life lessons,like, if I only knew that saying
yes to everything isn't noble,it's exhausting, I might have
(45:22):
saved myself from a few awkwardfavors, a couple of pyramid
schemes and helping a strangermove a piano up a fire escape.
Holy jesus, you know, becauseyou always want to make people
happy, it seems like, and likeif you got a pickup truck next
thing you know, you become amover because everybody wants
you to help them move in arefrigerator, up a little skinny
ass stairway and on the eighthfloor, no elevator, you know.
(45:46):
And we?
Speaker 1 (45:48):
we just did it yeah, I mean especially we, we hit the
big, uh, landmark year and uh,you realize I can't do
everything and I'm I'm guilty ofit for how my nature is and I
was, was, raised.
I mean you help everybody, youdon't say no, you always be nice
, you always.
And then, like you said, werealize I can't keep doing this.
I can't let everybody justgoing to use me and walk all
(46:09):
over me if I keep doing this.
Speaker 2 (46:11):
Yeah, happily, and feel like it was like they just
play in the game better than you.
Speaker 4 (46:17):
They expect you, they expect you, oh you, I expect
you to do this, so you're partof my plan, and it's like, no, I
can't do that or how about thisone, guys, and I'm sure we can
maybe all agree with this if Ionly knew credit cards aren't
free money, I would have gone onthat.
I wouldn't have gone out onthat late night shopping spree
and ended up the proud owner ofa fog machine in a pizza oven
(46:39):
I've only used once or twice.
Speaker 2 (46:42):
Yeah, see, I had a $200 credit card when I was 20,
and I maxed it out and didn'tpay it and I've never had
another one since.
Speaker 4 (46:50):
Good for you dude, good for you, you broke free.
I never spent like that.
I'm like 15 grand in the hole.
Speaker 1 (46:59):
That's because you're bragging about Timu and stuff
and look what I got, guys, lookwhat I got.
Well, I'll be honest, I boughtTimu.
Speaker 4 (47:06):
I got this for like $250 for $250, come on, and it's
a real.
Speaker 1 (47:15):
Or, as you said, jared Kiesel, there you go, boom
you're gonna need that $250when you get the old folks home
and stuff for your money, yourweekly money.
Speaker 4 (47:24):
It's like on the mess hall when we had Rocco the
voice that played Rocco's ModernLife I had to go out and buy
Rocco man.
You know, it's just, it's likeeverywhere, man.
But now I think my issue isstuff that I wanted when I was
younger and I, my family,couldn't afford.
You know, my mom and dad justcouldn't do it.
And now all of a sudden I seeit and I'm like, okay, I, I can
(47:48):
afford it.
Next thing, you know I'm indeep.
You know I got a war in my roomwith gi joe's running all over
the place fighting batman andeverybody else.
That's a toy.
You know, I'm not embarrassedto say I'm 52 and I still buy
toys.
Speaker 1 (48:02):
I don't care I just slowed down a lot because I,
like I said, I've got to cleanthis junk up and display what I
have buried and stuff and inboxes.
Why should I have it if it's inboxes?
Speaker 2 (48:13):
right.
But I mean you could.
You could have spent that moneydrinking, buying rounds at the
bar, buying food, you know, oreven in worst cases.
But you know putting it up yournose.
You know what I mean in very,in various, whatever in your
veins, various fucking otherplaces, that if you're getting
toys and whatnot, you know Imean ain't necessarily quite as
(48:34):
bad, you know, I mean you're notgoing to necessarily destroy
your life and your family's lifeby buying toys.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (48:40):
Not less like you would with, uh, you know saying
right, it's not like I sit in myunderwear with a big bowl of
cereal playing coming up withwrestling moves anymore.
Right, you know, right now Ikeep them in a package and they,
they actually grow in money.
You know, and I'm like man,it's like the stock market.
You gotta know when to get ridof them and when to take them in
(49:01):
.
Speaker 2 (49:01):
Yeah, and again, like we were saying earlier, if you
can find someone to buy them off, you.
Speaker 4 (49:07):
Right, exactly, they're only worth as much as
the person's willing to pay.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (49:13):
One life lesson I wish I would have known which I
still don't know because no oneshowed me, but I've been
watching videos a little bitonline like everybody else is
how to invest your money right,like put money in certain things
and how it make it grow andstuff.
I mean, there's ways I've seenpeople do it nowadays but I
(49:33):
never were was told, put it here, put it there, because nobody
wanted to.
I don't want to tell you whereto put it, then if you don't
make money you're going to blameme.
It's like, no, I could you helpout a little bit, you know?
Speaker 2 (49:43):
oh yeah, my mom's got investments that are still out
there.
So I mean, how's that?
How's them dinars doing mom?
You heard that one, thewhatever the money, where people
was buying the money, and it'slike, hey, when this goes dollar
for dollar, everybody who hasthis money is going to be
millionaires.
Well, my mom's invested in thatone.
We're still waiting on that oneto pay off.
Speaker 4 (50:04):
You know, I have here , even talking to my younger
self, I got a younger ScottBleach.
Tips are not a personality, ohmy gosh.
And then I go cargo pants withmore pockets than a pool table
is not fashion.
I go cargo pants with morepockets than a pool table is not
fashion Because remember themdays back when you had like the
(50:29):
Zumbas, and remember then theycame out with the Janko jeans
that you could sweep the floorwhile you walk because they just
hung off of you.
And then, to touch on what Jimwas just saying, putting off
learning how to budget is not anact of rebellion, it's just
math avoidance, because nowyou're trying to figure out how
much goes here, how much goesthere.
(50:50):
And yeah, it's been a lot incredit card repayments, but I'm
working on it.
I'm working on it.
The older Scott's trying to talkto the younger Scott like what
the hell?
Or how about this one guys in apersonal conversation?
We should hang out sometime.
(51:11):
This code for thisconversation's over and I'm
trying to escape politely.
It took me a while to readbetween those lines yeah or how
about this one?
It's not you, it's me, it's notme breaking up, it's you
breaking up, you don't want tohurt me.
(51:31):
It's a lot of things that Iwish that I could tell my
younger self.
If I can whisper one line to mylike 15 year old or 16 year old
self, I would really say watchthe credit cards, you know,
(51:52):
because with 30% interest, man,it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (51:56):
You know it's, it's crazy, just because I want
something right now or you'd sayto say to your younger self
don't uh stop worrying aboutwhat other people think of you.
Speaker 2 (52:07):
Nobody cares about you that's what I was gonna say
get out of the fucking feelingsyeah, I mean what you're
worrying about.
Speaker 1 (52:15):
Nobody's thinking about.
Speaker 2 (52:16):
Stop it you damn, snowflake, fuck the fuck up and
get a move on man Focus onyourself.
Speaker 1 (52:24):
Think about something and do it.
Just stop worrying about whatother people are going to think.
Speaker 4 (52:28):
Or if you can't fix it right now, don't stress about
it.
If you cannot think, if youcan't.
If you got a car repair and youcan't, you're going to fix it.
But if you can't fix it at thismoment, don't stress about it.
Think about how to come up witha game plan to fix it.
Speaker 1 (52:46):
Or let like negative thoughts in your head.
Just keep swimming in your headthinking negativity, negative.
It's like.
Stop thinking negative, juststop.
Just, you know what's going tohappen.
What's going to happen, what'sthat?
Don't stress about what youhave no control over.
Yeah, like you, you can't.
You, how are you going tocontrol this outcome?
Well, I can't.
(53:07):
Well, then, why are youworrying about it?
Speaker 2 (53:09):
yeah, right, you suffer more in theory than you
do in reality, or?
Speaker 4 (53:13):
don't, don't worry about something that hasn't
happened yet.
Yeah, that's bad.
Yeah, man, I hear so manypeople say, oh, I don't want to
