That's end of the podcast, ran the podcast Michelle Gondry.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
We could do like a Michelle Gondry year if we
want to do good videos.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
But guys, what is your history with ever Long?

Speaker 4 (01:15):
Not much? I mean, I know the song for sure,
but this is the time. I mean, we've for sure
all the all the radio play, but no, I never
never really got into them. Hey man, there's songs get
stuck in your head. That's the thing. Obviously he's making. Yeah,
he's a good songwriter, mixed catchy melodies and all the
All the knowledge I have is just from the recent research,

(01:37):
to be honest, So you know, I'm excited to share
some of the stuff I learned. And I'm sure you
guys have your own experiences. I know I was a
huge fan, right oh yeah, yeah when we stayed in
performance and yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Was like, wait, man, maybe I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yeah, I saw that when he was when he broke
his leg for me live and then he had to
sit on a throne with a cast on and all
because the bad.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
That's some weird thinking about the Food Fighters is like
someone asked me, like, are you food Fighters? I'm like no,
And then I know every fucking song and all the
lyrics and I'm like, wait a minute, yeah I guess
I am.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
But but yeah, but as far as my experiences with
food Fighters, they got big at a time where I
was discovering a completely different genre. I was really immersing
myself in that and he went really kind of mainstream
but still alternative rock but might as well be like, yeah,
like Billboard one hundred kind of material. So I never
really followed it. I never was really into Nirvana as.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
Well here Man.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Yeah, but I mean I appreciated them as groundbreaking pioneer
musicians for sure. It's just that, like, it just wasn't
my bag at that time. I was growing up with
a different kind of genre of music, mainly goth industrial,
you know, I dwled in metal as well, and you know,
any other like subculture music. But yeah, it didn't bother

(02:57):
me that they existed. And like other bands that are
that are big at that time, like Candlebox or something
like Pearl Jam and all that they were, they were
also getting, you know, like getting pretty super massive around
that nineteen ninety five nineteen ninety six era. No not
but not not really much. But I remember seeing though
on I don't know if you guys remember MTV buzz

(03:19):
Bind it's their little oh you know, upstart band and
all that, and the song big.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
Me was featured on that this first album. Yeah, from
the first album.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
And I thought that they have the Mento's parody music
video was it was amazing, and I thought that was
really funny and like, hey, you know, the song's pretty good.
I like, I like the vibe of it, and yeah,
like you know, like I at that time, I was
like peak hater, in hater mode and as far as
like gate keeping music. But floo Fires didn't bother me.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
Man. They were just kind of like existing and it
was good. It was no problem with it. I didn't.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Yeah, I mean there was no controversy at that time,
you know about that band, you know, besides oh, Vanda
drummers started his own band.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
Hang It Out, But even he didn't really want to
be known as day Girl as a drummer when he
started this.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Band, right, he wanted to be anonymous.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
Were you a fan when they were coming up?

Speaker 3 (04:11):
No, because I wasn't I think the music at the time.
I was just kind of like not listening to it.
But luckily I was going out with a girl who
was listening to all this all the ka rock music,
you know, so I just heard it from her. But no,
I will always thought it was pretty good. I knew
that there was like a sunny day real estate connection
back then, so I was like, oh, yeah, it's the
backing band from Southern Day real Estate. I like Sunny

(04:33):
Day real Estate. So I was like, okay, cool, I
get it, But no, I was never had a problem
with it. The songs are always pretty catchy good. I
was a big in uteral Nirvana fant, like I really
loved that album. I remember when the album came out
and it was like kind of blew my mind, such
a good album. Yeah, I was like into like Nirvana,
but I wasn't. I thought they were cool, but I
wasn't really into them until in Utero. I was like,

(04:54):
holy shit, this is like fucking amazing. You know. That's
when he was already passed away, right, Yeah, So so
that was kind of like a bummer. But I was
into like Weezer at that time, like the bands that
were kind of around at that time, Weezer, the Rentals
and stuff like kind of like more like nerd rock stuff.
You know, this kind of pop stuff isn't too far
from that, right, right. I always liked it, but I've

(05:14):
never listened to a whole album. I never really got
into them because I was just like.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
Yeah, like I said, like we looked for it, yeah exactly,
and we dubbed this as k rock music.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Yeah, and I was dating like girls that were listening
to this, so I if they were always playing it,
so I didn't have to play it, you know, same
thing with like Stone Temple, Pilots and all that other stuff.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
I was like, I don't need it.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
I don't really need to listen to that, you know.
I'm like, you heard plenty, Yeah, I'm like, I'm listening
to Poul and Charlotte's uk Oasis and that's.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
The thing that's the start of their you know, the
deep clubbing times.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Right. So I got hard into like britpop around that time,
so I was just.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
Like, yeah, that was the rise of britpop. Was around
the time of the song came in it and it
may one of those ex'es of yours. Louis have their
own podcast talking about I used to date this guy
who was into all that Brit post his asshole, who's into.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Fuck that guy. No, they would never because, you know,
because I'm not that important in their lives. I do
not think I was ever that much important in their lives.
They're all married with many children.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
Now.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
I should have stuck with Louis, for.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
He was such an anglifier.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
But you know what, doing all this research, I told
you guys, I saw the documentary in twenty eleven, not
in two thousand eleven. That that's when it was made.
It's called back and forth. But man, I'm impressed. Man,
he's pretty bad ass.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
No, once they got Pat's mirror, which I'm a big
Germans fan, I was like, oh shit, wait a minute.
So I kind of like started like paying more attention,
and so I was kind of paying more attention. And
then their videos are just all so good. All their
videos are so good you have to watch them, you know,
so like that and kind of getting more into it
and stuff like that, and then figuring out like finding

(06:55):
out that like he recorded the whole album is there.

Speaker 4 (06:57):
I can't believe that, man, every single instrument.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
Yeah, which is very impressive.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
Impressive absolutely Not only that, but at the same time,
the humility of like, I don't want my name to
be you know, start over again. Yeah, he wants to
start over again. He wants to you know, and that's
that's commendable because you know, he doesn't want to ride
the coattails of course of the Nirvana fame.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
Also at that time, you got to think about it.
From his perspective is like Courtney Love was humongous at
that time, and she loved talking shit about him and
the other guys from Nirvana, and you know, she would
accuse him of trying to ride Nirvana's coattails. So it
was very good of him to like kind of like,
I'm gonna do this, almost kind of anonymous, put it
out there.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
She would talk shit, but she freaking milk the cotails, right.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
You know, but Jesus, but you know, he was like, well,
I'll just do this and if it doesn't work out,
it doesn't work out. Yeah, he's kind of a punk
guy anyways.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
You know.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
So if you hear him talking about him growing up,
and he was really into like hardcore scene and stuff
like that, you know, Minor Thread.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
And he played with Scream right, a couple of other
bands from DC.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
And he's like raised by a single mom or something
like that.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
And yeah, and Doctor was his mom and his sister.
They were both like into music, you know, growing up.
But he he ended up living in Washington, That's why
he got out big in the scene.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
Yeah, and his mom was really like supportive of him. Yeah,
that's kind of cool. Cool family NotI, which.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
Is exactly, but you know what, like when he first
started the band, like he actually picked up some steam.
And then so he started to look around and started
recruit right of course, he got pasts Mayor who started
to play I think in Utero was you know when
they would play live, he would play the second guitar player.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
Yeah, he played on him. Then that last and the
tour and stuff like.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
That exactly, and then, like you said, the rhythm section
of the Sunny Day Real Estate, the drummer and the
bass player, he got them, and so he started recording
and started kind of like playing out more. You know,
they're starting to get bigger and bigger. But wanting to
bring this up because when they finally got like a pro,
like a pretty established producer, so they went and went
in the studio and the guy was like he knows

(08:53):
and he has a lot of experience. He started telling
like the bass play and the drummer like you got
to play like this and you got to play this
to what they role was trying to write. Right, so
they started having doubts.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
You guys need practice.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
Yeah, Like they started having doubts because the guy was
calling them the rhythmless section. So now this reminds me
of the time when when Lou and I were playing
in a band and some guy approached us and he
wanted to record remember this there in the West Side
in Venice. So we went there, and you know, we
never really had that kind of experience of this guy.
He's probably recorded some pretty indie bands, but at the

(09:25):
same time he's he's like went to school and he.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Had a cool studio, studio, really expensive area.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
Really cool. Man. It was nice. We spent a whole
day there, but I honestly felt like ship because like
he like Laurel Canyon or no, no, no, this west side, Venice.
It's ain, that's right, that's right, abric area, Santa Monica, Venice, Ara.
But the thing is he would tell you what you
need to do, so like so he was producing us,

(09:53):
he was producing you. So you know, this is how
we've always played, It is how we came up with it.
But when a professional comes in and I put that
in quotation marks, I don't know what his full credentials are,
but it makes sense because he knows what he's listening
to right right, And man, I felt like, oh shit,
I guess we're just some case you exactly.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
And then I was singing and he's like, could you sing?
And I'm like that's what I'm doing. He's like, no,
you're not singing, You're just like talking. And I was like,
well that's how I sing and he's like, well you
need to sing. And I was like, fuck, well now
I'm not gonna I'm now I'm gonna sell shitty for
the rest of the time.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
And I was just like, we've never had that experience.
Now that we have it, and we're under pressure because
he's going to do one song and I think his
goal was to eventually we're going to pay him to
do like.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
He wanted to record, he wanted to produce album.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
You know, he was kind of phishing right to the
business basically. But anyway, the reason we want to bring
that up is because you know, this producer ended up
telling like the and then so Dave Roll was like, hey,
you know, like he had to call the drummer. He's like,
you know, I'm going to play the drums. I'm sorry,
you know, because they went to LA to do it,
and then the guys he's like, hey, but I still
want you to be in the band. The guy was

(11:01):
like Nah, I'm sorry. I can't do that. I can't
live with myself, you know what I mean, Like you're
going to play all this stuff, but I'm just going
to play live. So so yeah, that's kind of like
one of those moments like in the band where it's
like he felt bad, you know what I mean. He's
just like I had to do it because it's like,
you know, integrity or like that's his art versus friendship
or whatever. He was in a bandmates, but but it

(11:21):
happened a couple of times, you know, like the guitar
player for Scream, he asked him to join, but they
just wasn't gelling. So you know, that's why they kept
having all these lineup changes.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yeah, when you go into a studio, you're already intimidating,
already intimidated, right, yeah, and then it's already unnatural place
for it. It's not creative, you know, especially if you're
the musician.

Speaker 4 (11:42):
There's a lot of restrictions.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
Yeah, you could only play so loud. I couldn't play
like half of my pedal board. He's like, oh no,
you can't play any of these pedals are gonna sound bad.
And I'm like, well, there's changes that are related to these,
and he's like, oh, just play a B note and
I'm like, I don't fucking know where B note is.
I'll play a B note down here. I'm like, I
don't know. This is how I wrote the song, you know,
Like I wrote the song and you're telling me to

(12:03):
change it in the chorus to add more notes and
I'm like, there's not more notes in the chorus. That's
my chorus. So then he had to teach me the
note and I'm like wait now, so now I'm playing
it and it's not natural because I'm adding more notes
to it, and like, well, this is not the flow
of the song anymore, like so I'm not playing it correctly.
That song I had I could play in my sleep
because we played it so many times.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
And then you're thrown in it exactly right.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Then the singing part was just like, oh, you need
to sing, and I'm like I don't sing and whatever,
you know, And then you're behind the glass and everybody's
there and you're singing, sing and then it's on mute
over there, so you can you see everybody talking and
you're just like, are they talking about how shitty I'm singing?
Like I don't know, there's like man, and you're like,
you know.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
What, it's not. It's not to make it about us,
but like, for example, the last bit of this particular
song that he recorded for us, he had to sit
and play a part of the drama because I couldn't
do it, you know what I mean. So like that's
like the disheartening and I'm like, it's like depressing.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
I mean, the thing is he's molding it to his vision,
not your vision, exactly the problem.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
And at the same time he's kind of also trying
to like spot like his what his contribution could be,
right and again back to them, it caused a rift,
and like the point is its shaped the band. And
you can kind of also tell though that Dave Girl
has a certain kind of vision that he won't let
anybody get in because since he you know, he writes everything, Yeah,
all his songs, that's all his stuff, you know, so

(13:24):
it's all good.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
It makes sense too because he has such a particular
drumming style. You know, I don't know if he has
a guitar style, it seems pretty basic, but his drumming style,
at least his rhythm is very particular to him. You know,
so I could see especially a drummer, you know, like
I'm sure like the backing band from something you really
shied probably came in like wait a minute, you're a drummer, dude,
Like what do you want us for? Like you could

(13:45):
play drums and there he's like, oh no.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
No, don't worry about it.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
I want I want your flavor.

Speaker 4 (13:49):
And then you know, a natured guy. But the problem
is that you start to get big and there's a
lot at stake, right, It's like, is it gonna you're
gonna let it be diluted with you know, other's influences
or is it you're gonna stick to your vision? Right?
And I think that's kind of like what ended up happening.
But look how big they are.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
Yeah, you know what I mean. It also like it
makes sense because now when you look at Taylor Hawkings,
that does something right. So Howkings he was he played
for a lot of more set but he was also
like a session drummer too, so he played on a
lot of things. So it's different if you're a guy
from an indie band kind of like us, right, you know,
and someone tells you now to play and that's what
you do. Where Taylor Hawkins is like he plays in

(14:30):
a lot of bands. He's a session guy, and you're like, hey, man,
you're a session guy. I'm gonna play this part. Sure, man,
I'm a session dude. Fucking cool. So he has more
of a he's kind of more comfortable with it because
that's what he does with. Yeah, he plays like Dave
roll he plays hard like day grol So it's it's
kind of like Dave girl was looking for another Dave
Grolle and fit yeah the bill. Yeah, so that makes

(14:52):
a lot more sense. That's rough, man, it's weird.

Speaker 4 (14:54):
Huh. Yeah. Yeah, And those were the ones that that
I kind of wanted to mention because you learn about
like their history and it's like you have to break
some hearts, you know, you know what I mean, And it's.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
Like, I mean, yeah, now they're millionaires, right, so it
was worth it.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
We broke, We broke a heart and we never got
to be a million exactly. Broke one of my best
friend's hearts.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
You kind of need a generational talent to view one
of your bandmates though, to kind of help push you forward,
and you know you already have was already on the
door yeah, being part of the one of the most
important bands of the nineties of all time really.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
So it kind of helps one of my really one
of my biggest like remembers of the song. I think
that stuck out and I still remember to stay to
listening to the Howard Stern where he played this acoustic
on Howard Stern, You remember that.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
I've never heard that now, so I don't remember it,
but I've heard about it.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
Yeah, So whenever you heard the acoustic version on k Rock,
it's the recording from Howard Stern, so that got released
as like a recording.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Was that good?

Speaker 3 (15:51):
Yeah, it's really really good, and it's like the first
time he ever played it with acoustic guitar. He even says,
like in the Howard Stern interview, like I've never played
on acoustic guitar before and he just fucking racked it
up out like perfect. It sounds. It's really really good.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
As far as like my experiences with ever long the
song though, Like I've heard this song a lot in
the radio, but people do romanticize this as like a
really amazing song, which it is, but like it just
didn't hit me as much as it should, right, you know,
it's just that it's very you know, even flow, it's
very comfortable. Yeah, Like it doesn't hit me as much
as like these other people, like probably because I didn't

(16:25):
hear the lyrics. Upon reading the lyrics, like oh yeah,
I can apply this many aspects of my life, and
then it does hit home.

Speaker 4 (16:32):
And it's funny to bring that because that's actually like
all the YouTube comments man, a lot of them are
so sad. It's crazy. Man.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
You also have to look at the perspective that this
song came out of. You know, like at that time
ninety five, you know, you're getting almost into like starting
like new rock new metal era, right like corn so
of that. So it's starting to turn that way. You know,
you're getting lip biscuits starting to start up and stuff
like that, and so like this kind of music. If
you're just like a regular, a normal, enormy it's in

(17:02):
the k rock, you know, like, yeah, this fucking song
is like amazing because you never heard anything like it,
you know, if you if you're not really like a
music file person, you know, so I could see how
like that's how it got big, especially coming out of
that era where it was you know, Regie gets a
Machine or something like that. You know, it's kind of
you're it's a pop rock song.

Speaker 4 (17:19):
It's mainstream, mainstream alternative, and you know it's like it's
accessible to everybody, yeah, even though it's still considered alternative.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
Right exactly, So it makes a lot of sense that
a lot of people like caught onto it and because
it's a good song.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
Yeah, all right, pop quiz.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
Pop all right, So here you go Number one, you
guys ready alright? Right? Ever Long was nominated for Best
Rock Video in the MTV Music Awards, but was beaten
by this band in song you guys ready, yeah, all right?
This is what ninety seven?

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Bigger hand snap around, all right?

Speaker 4 (17:51):
Choice a Dave Matthews band, Don't Drink the Water. And
then you guys are big bands the Metallica, the Unforgiven,

it's a great video. I can't believe it.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
Yeah, I mean like.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
It's I don't know if I voiced it in this
podcast in the past, but like my hatred for nineties
Aerosmith is unreasonable. I don't know why I stand nineties Arismith.
I don't remember how they got so big in the
fucking mid to late nineties and all that.

Speaker 4 (18:53):
But this is also like the Armageddon Arismith.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
I was associated will of the Whisp's like ghosts.

Speaker 4 (21:04):

comes from.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
Yeah, exact postery sounds like a like a star trek

Speaker 4 (21:13):
That weird shit like that. Right, all right, you guys ready,
zip up, let's Patty going at proper bass gentleman sign
for that? What's that? What's that branding too? They make
in America topo my next one waterproof backpack. That's right,
all right, here we go. All right, So every long

(21:36):
I deals with dreams, of course, right, the unpredictable qualities
of dreams, So true or false if the following dream factoids,
and then the interpretations right the true or false you know,
for example, ow, if you've ever had a dream it
was like making out with a girl, and that probably
means that you have a crush on some it works
something like that. Right, I'm sure some weird.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
Making out with the girl do that work?

Speaker 5 (21:59):
You know?

Speaker 4 (21:59):
That's what dreams are so weird and bizarre. It happens.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
What that's what that means does have to make sense,
but it totally do.

Speaker 4 (22:08):
But it makes so much. Here we go. Who wants
to go first? Number one?

Speaker 3 (22:11):
I'll go first?

Speaker 4 (22:12):
True or falsele Health experts generally agree that while dreaming,
we can only read words in print rather than cursive handwriting.
Is this true or false?

Speaker 3 (22:21):
I'm gonna say false.

Speaker 4 (22:22):
You're correct, that is correct. Actually, it's the most experts
say that we can't even read at all.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
Yeah, dreams, Yeah, I don't think.

Speaker 4 (22:31):
Impossible is what they say based on seties of course. Right, Al,
you're ready for number two? Is it true that you're
more likely to dream about sex if you sleep face down?
What kind of sex? Is the next question?

Speaker 3 (22:42):
So you're sleeping ass up.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Someone who rarely dreams about sex, and I'm a side sleeper,
so I'd say true.

Speaker 4 (22:52):
That's your final answer. That is correct? Yeah, isn't that crazy?
That's weird?

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Huh?

Speaker 4 (22:57):
Studiasy?

Speaker 3 (22:58):
So if you sleep faith faced, more than.

Speaker 4 (23:02):
Likely you're more likely if that's what you want, that's
your flavor.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
Let's do it interesting, all right, that's for both men
and women.

Speaker 4 (23:11):
That's for people. Yeah, wow, And also Banova's no, I
don't know about that. Here we go. Number three. Way
visually impaired people or blind people only see images of
nature in their dreams.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
False.

Speaker 4 (23:23):
You're correct, that's true. That it's false. But actually they
do dream and images. People that are blind from birth
actually can dream images and things that like like what.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
Like they can dream of a chair or something.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
It's probably just like a mountain like images.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
Actually, they can construct visuals, visual imagery in their dreams
even though they've never seen anything.

Speaker 3 (23:48):
Like they just see things come together shapes.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
Based on That's the thing about dreams, you know how
you can you can connect things even though that you've
never had experience with it. All right. Number four, al,
you're ready, but shapes? Did you know that? Both psychialysts
Freud and Carl Young believe the dreams that involve animals,
particularly ones found in farms, symbolize our repressed attraction and

(24:14):
taboo inclinations towards these four like beasts. True or false?

Speaker 3 (24:19):
I don't know, well, Freud and Young they agree they
rarely are something that's except for coocaine. They both agree
to coin.

Speaker 4 (24:28):
I'll say false false, Yes, that is correct.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
I made that. I was gonna say that's a weird one,
all right, you said Freud, only that would.

Speaker 4 (24:41):
Change your line that it might have changed your mind,
all right, because I'm a young guy. Yeah, true or false?
We only dream in black and white.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
I'm gonna say false.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
I'm gonna go with false. It is false only twelve
percent actually, and most of the time we actually I
dream in black and Yeah, a lot of people, do
you know, it's weird. I started dreaming color after nineteen
sixties and what technically came in. Actually, uh, older people
tend to dream like people born like in the you know,
forties and thirties. They tend to dream actually in black

(25:12):
and white, which is weird.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
Oh, that's weird. Studies studies because maybe it's like they're
watching TV.

Speaker 5 (25:17):
Right, I'm sure it's their head, right, Yeah, what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
They're watching something the only dreaming. I love Lucy.

Speaker 4 (25:25):
Productions. All right, now you ready Nocturnal Penile two messense
you know what that is? Wet dreams morning would most
causes men to have three to five erections every night,
some lasting thirty minutes. Is that true or false?

Speaker 2 (25:40):
Thirty minutes of direction?

Speaker 4 (25:42):
Maybe not at this age.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
Well, I don't dream in sex.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
That's true. Art dreams, aymen, like, uh is this no
modern art dream?

Speaker 2 (25:53):
This apply to everybody? Or like every man?

Speaker 4 (25:55):
Man?

Speaker 1 (25:56):

Speaker 2 (25:56):
Men in general, i'd say false, you.

Speaker 4 (25:59):
Are in this is true? And three defive. It's a lot,
isn't it. It's painful.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
It's a lot of blood.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
Yeah, exactly, especially when you're on your side. You're like,
you have a KICKSTANDO.

Speaker 4 (26:13):
You mustn't try pods right there.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
You're not gonna fall over. That's how you stay up
all night.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
So I never fall out of my bed.

Speaker 4 (26:22):
All right, how about this one? Try this one out.
Going to bed hungry makes nightmares more likely because stomach
acids increase your metabolism, signaling your brain to be more active.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
I'm gonna say false, because when I go to sleep,
fool is when I have like crazy nightmares.

Speaker 4 (26:36):
You're one hundred percent correct. Wow, it's actually reverse. Yeah,
when you eat, that's when your metabolism you ten have nightmares.
And now that I'm easy huh.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
And now that I'm an old ass man. I also
get like acid reflex in the middle of the night
and I'll start coughing and it's like the worst because
it's all burned up in my throat.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
Right right, right, all right, you're ready for number eight?

Speaker 2 (26:56):
Alright?

Speaker 4 (26:56):
All right? Did you know what sleep? Sex? Also called sex,
is a sleep disorder much like sleepwalking. Instead of walking, though,
a person engages in sexual behavior like masturbation or intercourse
wild sleep true or false sex omnia?

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Wow? I never heard this side say false?

Speaker 4 (27:16):
You are wrong? What's the actual terminology? Get in?

Speaker 2 (27:21):
I've been missing I'm missing out so much. How does
one get Sexombia?

Speaker 4 (27:29):
It happens, man? Alright, do these studies more often? All right,
we're here to try this one. The most common dream
in the UK, that's in Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, of course,
and England. Their most common dream in the UK is
about having crooked teeth true or false? Sure, you're right.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
Off through power.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
It's actually teeth falling out. Oh yeah, it's the most
common dream, both in the US and the UK. I
don't know about the other parts of the world.

Speaker 3 (28:03):
But I got a bit of the waz mavories a
bit of the m MP, a bit of the in
and out of my MMP. It's all like you only
dream in like clockwork Orange speaking.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Seventeen.

Speaker 4 (28:21):
Oh hell for my final question, you're ready for this?
Did you know that ancient Egyptians sometimes employed a professional
dream interpreter who would study their dream, requiring you to
sleep in the same bed wrapped together in sacred papyrus
cloth to induce a dream about their dream. True or false.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
They're they're insane enough. I think they'll do it.

Speaker 4 (28:42):
Yes, you're going with truth and you're wrong because I
made that up a.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
Good story, right, you know what, Like in hindsight, like.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
I knew that the Sacred for Club got.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Risk behind.

Speaker 4 (29:01):
I'll tell you what they do have. They did have
dream interpreters actually, like they would go to like these
oracles and they would see you know, they try to
get their.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Dream the virus premitive chamber.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
All right, sounds like like a Freddy It's like a
nightmare on Elm Street, but like in those times.

Speaker 4 (29:23):
That's real.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
All right, we'll be right back. First, the music video discs.
All right, guys, let's talk about the music video. Forever
Long starts off with a black and white kind of footage.

Speaker 4 (29:39):
Right right.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
It starts off with when they're when they're sleeping, they're
gonna go to sleep, right is that?

Speaker 4 (29:44):
No?

Speaker 2 (29:44):
No, it's the it's the two guys, my two band members,
Patre and I think the basis right, and they they're
dressed up as teddy boys, teddy boys. I have no
know what teddy boys are. What are teddy boys?

Speaker 4 (29:58):
Like?

Speaker 3 (29:58):
A yeah, it's like a fancy rockabill guys.

Speaker 4 (30:01):
Like Edwardian kind of dressed, but also like that rockabilly
looked usually pomp but always those long waist kind of coats,
you know, they always have that look, and then like
the what do you call the Colonel Sanders kind of Yeah,
but it was like a youth uh lad culture as
they would say what they would call it like in
those parts of the world. You know, it's a scene,

(30:23):
totally totally cool scene back in the day.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
It's like rockabilly, but like it's with it's kind of
more of a dressed up rockabilly where you were like
a wool coats and then the bolo.

Speaker 4 (30:33):
Tie with the you know, it sounds like a lot
of upkeep right, very British.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
It's a very extreme too like extreme, like not just
like a real girl pompadoor, you have an extreme popadoor.
And yeah, it's kind of like fancy hill billy too. Yeah,
it's got like it's got kind of those kind of
condentations too, right.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
But yeah, so there they sneak into the house, you know,
a normal residential neighborhood, and they we see it from
their point of view. You see the pictures on the wall,
all of love that family that lives there, right, yeah, exactly,
it's you know, it's a portrait of the couple. The
couple which is grave girl and I think Taylor, Yeah,
Taylor Hockey, right, and uh yeah, like you're trowing their

(31:15):
happily married lives. And then it leads up to their bedroom.
We're both sleeping on their backs, not on the not
on their stuff exactly. You know, so nothing, nothing really
shady was happening.

Speaker 4 (31:26):
You know.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Michelle Gonnery does this very nice and cheap but effective
trick with the camera.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
It's called in camera effects. In camera yeah yeah, yeah,
because it's actually it's not digital. He just puts probably
a glass over it and then pours water over Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
Yeah, so it to reflect that they're dreaming, and we
go forward to Dave Girl's dream.

Speaker 4 (31:49):
Which is in color because it kind of switches back
and forth throughout the video. But he's sid vicious, right,
He's at a party.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
I wouldn't have thought that was sid Vicious, And at.

Speaker 4 (31:58):
First I didn't either until I read you know.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Just like a normal punker to me with you know,
with coolio hair.

Speaker 4 (32:06):
But you see the people, the partygoers, they're kind of dressed, uh,
you know, specifically early eighties exactly.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
Like punk kind of kind of aesthetic about him.

Speaker 4 (32:16):
And he plays Taylor Hawkins plays Nancy Sponging, right, and
at the party, they're getting harassed by the teddy boys.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
Well, he meets them first in the bathroom, right, and
then across, Yeah, and then those guys were like waiting
for him to finish, I guess taking a leak, and
he's like, something's off about these guys. And then he
gets out of the bathroom, right, and you know, kind
of moves around the party and then he finds those
the same teddy boys harassing his wife's Nancy right in there.

Speaker 4 (32:45):
But then it switches to his dream, Taylor Hawkins dream, right,
which is also in color.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
Well wait, wait, we missed the part though.

Speaker 4 (32:53):
Where or is that It kind of switches back and forth,
and then he fights him in his dream.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
That's that's what the growing hand thing that didn't happen there, Okay.

Speaker 4 (33:03):
Hawkins's dream, which is the cabin one, right.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
Right, Yeah, especially the Taylor Hawkins's dream, it's very inception.
He's going from dream to dream and they go into
each other's dream exactly.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
That's the whole point of it. It's kind of like
that to make it even more surreal, right, right. But
so he's Taylor Hawkins is like he's hanging out in
the inside the cabin reading a book Dave girls, like
gathering some firewood, and then and then there's.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
Like something in the basement of the trying to get
the cabin, trying to get out like Evil Dead style
if you ever seen The Evil Dead or Evil Dead too.
This is exactly like you know, like the homage from
one good director to another.

Speaker 4 (33:40):
Right, and then back to his dream, and that's when
that happens. He then gets in a little scuffle with
with the Teddy Boys.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
His hand grows big.

Speaker 4 (33:48):
It's crazy, right like apparently.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
Like Michelle Gondry says, he used to get dreams where
hand would get big would get and that's why he
just kind of you know, he transferred this. Yeah, we're
just thinking he slaps the living taste out of you know,
pass some herr and then he like picks him up
and ragged dolls around. It's like the lowest ever.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
Right, Yeah, when you're the whole, the ceiling is really tiny.
And then when he that's why I think when they
go into the phone room, it's so much bigger. Yeah yeah, I.

Speaker 4 (34:14):
Mean I guess it's dream like, but it's kind of
like a being John Malkovich.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
Yeah, in the in the offices, the smaller, the half floors.
But would you say his pampog is strong? Remember that
turn back then, back.

Speaker 4 (34:28):
In ninety seven.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
That's remember I did a pretty good combo too on
the other on the bassis, like he did a slap
and then a knee drive and the stomach. That was
pretty good.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
And then just like a video game, once he's defeated them,
they kind of disappeared, vaporized.

Speaker 3 (34:44):
The vaporized into like this weird I know. They were
like like a nuclear holocausts.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
David showed the skeleton, the skeletons, yea, and they're like, whoa,
what happened, and they transferred into the cabin dream.

Speaker 4 (34:57):
That's right, and then they get transferred to his dream
to Hawkins dream, right.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
Yeah, And and they're like trying to break into the
house will some guy was trying to come in through
the basement.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
But it's weird because like in the dream they're they're
already doing it, and then when he kills them. In
the other dream, they show up there and then they're
doing it because there was already someone trying to come
in from the basement, but then it but you don't
know who it is. But then he materializes and then
he starts coming in. He's there, but he's not there yet.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
They kind of pulled like an agent smith from the matrix,
you know, and he would transfer themselves from whoever's in
living in the you know, the matrix.

Speaker 4 (35:32):
But in dave girls dream, this is like they try
to escape right to go. They enter the other room
and that's where they see the giants the giant telephone
and they're suffering right from the ring.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
It's ringing, and I guess they want to get rid
of the ringing. Try to pick up the phone, but
it's too heavy. But I guess in the real world,
the real black you know, the real Wars and the
black and white sleepy in the in the bedroom world.
The phone is ringing.

Speaker 4 (35:59):
It's actually ringing. Yeah, but do you know why it's rained.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
Because she's calling from the other Yeah. Right, it's the
weird part. Yeah, I mean I love that concept and
he too.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
I thought it was.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
Yeah, it's kind of cool, like, oh, you can contact
you you know, you're someone from.

Speaker 4 (36:12):
A dreams there's nobody. He's just trying to find out,
but no one's I think responding on the end of
the phone. Right, But I think he realizes she's in
distress or he's in distress, and he is.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
Right, he has to go to sleep too, right, so he.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
Tries to like, yeah, like he realizes there's something wrong
to I guess lucid dream is way into into her dream.

Speaker 4 (36:30):
Because he tries to wake Taylor Hawkins up, but right,
it doesn't work.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
It doesn't work that he does, is that? Yeah, And
then he falls asleep and then he wants up being
surrounded by women. Yeah, and he's like the middle of
an orgy apparently.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
Which is he's in the wrong dream, right, He's in
the wrong dream.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
But I guess, yeah, you know, it shows how much
he far for the course, right right, how much dream
how much he loves the ladies. And then he's surrounded
by legs, and all of a sudden, those legs become
become logs. Right. I love that transition though, where the
stockings and the boots becomes the logs that he's holding.
It's so well done.

Speaker 4 (37:09):
And then he finally finds the nunchucks, right and the
us chunks and and he's.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
Fun that thing too. And I always really thought, since
they're kind of, you know, doing the evil Dead homage there,
that he's gonna get you know, when his hand begins
to grow, that they're going to cut off his hand
because the evil that he cuts off, Yeah, it comes alive,
right yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
And then he puts on the chainsaw later, Yeah, the
other guy has the chainsaw, right, isn't someone.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
Guy in the basement had a chainsaw And then the
other guy had a mask.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
Had huge ax and he's trying to break down the
door and he's trying to get out of the basement,
the bass player and so, but he beats.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
Him up anyways, among his hands, right, his hand grows again.
And what I love about this seed is that they
beat the crap out of both of them, and then
they're gonna throw them in the water, but he's still
tied up in.

Speaker 4 (37:57):
The chair, but they're running to the He wanted to
make sure that their bodies are won't come back, right,
So it goes in the water.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
Yeah, it puts them in the water. And you know,
there's another one of those in camera effects again with
the water, Yeah, which is cool. Which is funny though
when when they're dragging them around, you know, it's like
it's blatant that there, manic. I just love I love
it when when they do that, it's like.

Speaker 4 (38:19):
A seventies eighties effect, like.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
Like you know, it's sabotage that one. And then so
when they drown them, they go back to the real
world bedroom, right is that after that?

Speaker 4 (38:31):
That's what it is.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
Something else happens, that's it.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
It's not the dream. They actually go back to the
real world. Yeah, he wakes up, but then the the
the Yeah, the Teddy Boys boys come back in the
weirdest part of the video.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
Yeah, that I mean that was kind of unsettling, right
when they break out of their costumes and they become
the actual band members. They break out of their bodies.
It's well done.

Speaker 4 (38:53):
Though, right, really good.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
Yeah, I mean for the effects back then, it's settling.
But when they tear off their clothing, but that was like.

Speaker 4 (39:01):
Wow, it's kind of sped up too, right, Yeah, you
see it.

Speaker 3 (39:04):
It has to be like other people's arms because they
were off their clothing and then there their arms are
actually inside playing. Yeah, so it's like there's people in
the costume that you can't see. It's very crazy.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
Yeah, so the camera tricks, I think Gondrey is a
master of them. Yeah, you know, he's already done the
York video by then when he did this one. So
and then they all play, they all play, you know,
like I love when when Taylor just like gets out
of his bed thing and it's just like the drum
kits already and drum the blankets and decides to rocking

(39:35):
out and that was cool, Like I love the all
rocking out.

Speaker 4 (39:38):
But just a little fun fact, he's he actually did
not play the drums on this song because he.

Speaker 3 (39:45):
Just really in the band right before the video show exactly.

Speaker 4 (39:47):
Yeah, so the recorded version is actual dapro of course.
But yeah, so they all rock out and that's pretty
much how it ends right right, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
Yeah, everyone's all good, the Teddy boys and all that.
It's all just a dream. The dreams are nonsensical. But
I like the color effects too that they're doing. Sure,
the intensity of their they're rocking out in the end there.

Speaker 4 (40:07):
I have to admit I had to watch it a
few times because it's kind of, you know, like just
jumping back and forth in each other, very inception. Like
I think that's where Christopher Nolan got there.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
I think though, right possible. He's like, you know, he's
writing Memento that times, like, hey, interesting, let's put that
in the following. He's like, I'm going to sleep on
my on my belly for a few days and then
all over this thing. Okay, So that does it for
the music video discussion.

Speaker 4 (40:34):
Rock that one man.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
All right, we'll be right back after these messages for
some notable YouTube comments. All right, this time for some
time for the notable YouTube comments.

Speaker 4 (40:45):
All right, man, So a lot of the comments obviously
had to deal with Taylor Hawkins's death.

Speaker 3 (40:53):
You know, unfortunately Taylor Hawkins being hot as a girl.

Speaker 4 (40:58):
There's there's some of that too, But you know, there's
a lot of people who, man, they really related to
the song, you know, like a lot. It's just I
read through must have been like hundreds and hundreds and hunters.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
What do you know? What the song's about?

Speaker 4 (41:08):
What is it about?

Speaker 3 (41:09):
It's it's actually about his girlfriend at the time, who
is what's her name?

Speaker 2 (41:13):
Because he was in the middle of a divorce.

Speaker 4 (41:15):
Right the middle of a divorce, he wrote the song and.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
I think his girlfriend at that time was the Ucas Rukassolt.

Speaker 3 (41:20):
Yeah, the girlfriend Rucassolt. Yeah, so it was like that
that's what is about.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
Yeah. She sang a part in this song too, did
she really like But it's just like a do do
do part? And but it's very subtle.

Speaker 4 (41:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
So she recorded that part, but through uh, through a
telephone call because they you know, she she was like,
I don't know, she was in another state when they
were recording the song.

Speaker 3 (41:43):
So, but I gotta say Louise Post Post The lyrics
were inspired by girls ongoing romantic romance with Louis Post
of the band of Rucassault is Fallen in Love. The
songs about a girl that had fallen in love with
and it's basically about be connected to someone so much
that you love them physically and spiritually.

Speaker 4 (42:05):
At all that you can harmonize so well.

Speaker 3 (42:07):
I think I read yea, yeah, yeah, it's like.

Speaker 4 (42:09):
Soul me basically right, which I guess partially wise, Like
seventy five percent of the comments are just sad stuff, man. Anyway,
I have a couple fore you, guys or some sad
some not too syreo. This one's very long. It's tldrguesn't
what that means, right, too long? Didn't read that's what
she said.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
This is BYLDR podcast.

Speaker 4 (42:31):
Hannakin from two years ago says, this song makes me sad.
I love this song. I'm an old, gray haired grandmother.
Now this song makes me sad in a way because
I think I'm probably going to leave this earth never
having been loved in a way that others obviously have.
I lost my high school boyfriend in a tragic accident
when I was eighteen. He may have loved me, but
it probably wouldn't have lasted. We used to talk about

(42:52):
a future and it felt like it could be real.
Actually happened one day. I knew two months into my
marriage and my husband didn't really love me, and that
he never would. And the very few men grand total
of two that I've dared to let in my life
after my divorce. Didn't love me either. I bonded with
one over similar losses. We were sharing our sorrow. It
went nowhere fast. The other lie from day one hated himself,

(43:13):
destroyed himself. Each of them cared about me a bit,
but didn't love me, certainly, not in the way some
people are loved. Just once in my life. I wish
I'd felt truly loved. Man. It's really all about the sadness, right.
The line in the song breathe out so I can
breathe you in That line really gets to me. That
line is beautiful, isn't it. I think it is. I
think it's perfect. I love it, But it hurts my
heart to hear it. How fortunate and special it must

(43:34):
be to have someone feel that way about you, even
if it ends. It happened for a moment in time,
someone truly loved you enough to feel bad about you. Amazing.
Any of you lucky enough to have been loved felt love.
You were lucky, And I'm happy for you because there
are people that never experienced that sort of romantic love. Sad, Yeah, sad.
He's coming from an older She needs a hug. Yeah,

(43:55):
but that's a long thing to write. Yes, but it's
very you know, I.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
Mean, can you imagine she did you write that on
her phone? Or was she in a computer at like.

Speaker 4 (44:05):
The gray haired grandmother.

Speaker 3 (44:07):
Now you need a full keyboard for that post.

Speaker 4 (44:10):
Yeah, this is from her Roku TV.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
I think it's true a red TV baby.

Speaker 4 (44:16):
This one's by Misunderstand two and four from four years ago.
She says, I just woke up to someone blasting the
song outside at three in the morning. I'm not really
happy that I got woken up this early.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
So she was typing this at three in the morning.

Speaker 4 (44:27):
Yeah, but at least they have good taste in music.
I love that they woke up and started typing. And finally,
this one's another long one by Chili Lily for eight
eight nine, five years ago. Strap in a right. So
in September twenty eighteen, I started taking music lessons. It
started off with ukulele and then I started experimenting with bass.
My teacher, mister Mark, was awesome. He taught me Crazy Train,

(44:51):
Back in Black and even Silent Night for Christmas, all
in the ukulele. He was there for me when I
was being bullied and despite him being sixty. He never
belittled me for anything, my quirks, my braces, me being bullied, nothing,
He was so supportive. Fast Howard to January of twenty nineteen.
Oh No, we were working on ever long. There was

(45:11):
going to be a movie playing at the Art Center
where he taught. We joked about being anti social for
a bit, and I simply said good luck, fellow introvert.
The next week, I was meant to have a lesson,
but I had to skip it because I was on
a trip. I went back to the art Center and
was ready for my lesson. My mom decided to ask
the gift shop owners if they knew where he was.
That was when my mom came up to me, tears

(45:31):
streaming down her face, and told me one of the
worst things I'd ever heard. He had passed from a sudden,
unexpected heart attack in the four short months I'd known him.
I felt lucky was my family. I cried. I cried
for weeks. This was the last song he ever taught me.
It's still so bittersweet to me. I always go into
a trance whenever I hear it. Now rip, mister.

Speaker 3 (45:50):
Moore, that's a sad story, but I thought it was
going to turn out way different. So I'm glad that
I'm not glad that this man is dead, but I'm
glad that it turned out like a I was waiting for,
Like I went to go for my next best that
I opened the door and his dog was out or
something like.

Speaker 4 (46:04):
That, you know, like, oh no, but a lot of
people were sharing their losses. Man, all these people like
you know, my dad, he was like in his dying
bed and I was playing the song always with this song,
it's great.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
I think a lot of David that's true. Oh yeah,
he loved the song, your favorite.

Speaker 4 (46:18):
Song that I invited them and came back from his
heart curtain, right.

Speaker 3 (46:22):
I think it's a certain way a lot of food
Fighter songs are played off ferals hero this song, you know,
I think there's a lot of Yeah.

Speaker 4 (46:30):
If you really think about it too. Dave Girl was
coming out of obviously, so I mean a lot of
his probably his inspiration was coming from you know, like
kind of getting over something like that, or at least
kind of a healing stage in his life. So maybe
that's what he included in his you know, his art.
Right during that time, that was all that was happening,
so mm hmm maybe.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
But like he wrote the song though, like really fast,
right for forty five minutes or.

Speaker 3 (46:54):
Something, it's really easy to play. It's only Yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
Just how how it affected a lot of people.

Speaker 4 (47:03):
I urge actually listeners, you know, take a look at
the comments. It's crazy, like just all these people like
all over the country too, Like what that had a
lot of stories, but when he's already sad story then
when they bring people there's no.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
There's no bashing him now his infidelities is that.

Speaker 4 (47:19):
Never popped up? Yeah? Interesting? And how he's beloved then, no,
he is totally Yeah, and he seems like a really cool,
level headed guy, a great sense of humor or anything.
The music video is kind of you know, show all
that kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
I mean, this is like this is the first video
in a long time where it's like hundreds of millions
of views, right, it's been a long time since we've done.

Speaker 4 (47:35):
A huge fan base. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
Yeah, sure, like a lot of a lot of people
watch this one.

Speaker 3 (47:38):
Yeah, he just like doesn't like to pull out.

Speaker 4 (47:43):
He likes it ever long.

Speaker 3 (47:46):
No, I mean it's crazy, right, like if this was
twenty years ago, Like, no, one would ever know about
this story, right, just because of like social media. It's like,
I mean, how many guys is how many people have
like Eric Clapton got Frank millions? Right? Are you know?

Speaker 2 (48:03):
Look at you know, a sports player who's traveling around town,
around the country. Yeah, you franchise a lot franchised. Well,
I think I mean, I'm not gonna make an excuse
for him, but you know, like I think it's coming
what he did.

Speaker 4 (48:17):
But that's it's because he's so open about his family
and his family life and everything.

Speaker 2 (48:22):
So that's that's that's where it kind of.

Speaker 4 (48:25):
You know, I mean like it's it's all of these
Obviously there will be detractors with you know, what he did.

Speaker 3 (48:31):
David Letteran do same thing happened with Ye, there's always
like you know, but you know.

Speaker 4 (48:35):
Apparently his wife sticking with him, and she's gonna still
where they're at.

Speaker 2 (48:39):
Yeah, that's where they're at. There're gonna they won't go
through you know, he fired his divorce lawyer. They're they're
gonna they're gonna strength through it.

Speaker 4 (48:46):
You know.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
Interesting good for him and then hopefully they do work
it out and his habits doesn't catch up to them. Again. Okay, guys,
so ever long would you keep it or would you
throw it back?

Speaker 4 (49:04):
Ever?

Speaker 3 (49:04):
Long? Done?

Speaker 4 (49:08):
As for me?

Speaker 2 (49:09):
Start off? Yeah, as for me, yeah, definitely a keeper.
I had a great time watching this video. It's been
a while since I had a really good guffall watching
a music video that I have never seen.

Speaker 3 (49:20):
So this is, yeah, you've never seen this video.

Speaker 2 (49:22):
I've never seen this video.

Speaker 4 (49:23):
What I've never seen it, I've never seen it.

Speaker 2 (49:26):
As I saying in my in my history, you know,
I was like, oh, the song I would here in
the background, But it's just this video just never came
you know what.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
I have a feeling like this was kind of like
the last days of of like MTV showing like music
videos on the rig. It was like kind of like
Real World was kind of taking over and all that stuff.
But I remember watching this on MTV.

Speaker 4 (49:46):
It's okay, I.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
Mean it was still around that that time, but yeah,
it's it's I don't know why, Like, you know, I
watched you part.

Speaker 3 (49:54):
You probably watch MTV back then though at this time, right, No,
not really, not really.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
I mean I watched more VH one for you know,
but still that this never came up because I guess
VH one was still.

Speaker 4 (50:04):
For the eighties, eighties older crowd, right, so.

Speaker 2 (50:08):
No, it still wasn't. Yeah, just it just never. I
just never encountered it until I had to watch for
this podcast. But yeah, but it's a keeper though. It's hilarious.
I love the concept within it. I like the story
it tells. I love you know, the band was all
into on it. They're they're they're great actors and.

Speaker 4 (50:23):
Their own expressions are great, yeah, like.

Speaker 2 (50:26):
Not great energy. The song is great too, so yeah, yeah,
I mean I can't say anything more complimentary about it.

Speaker 5 (50:34):
But hello Mitchell Gondry, right, yeah, I mean, as for
me to this video rocks.

Speaker 3 (50:42):
I've always liked this video. All their videos are good.
They have such good, well crafted videos. They all have
such good sense of humor. It seems like it's really
The Food Fighter seemed like the funnest band to be in,
like if you like, they just seem like they're always
having fun, constantly playing humongous shows, doing these fun videos
and so like that seemed like they give back a
lot they're always doing like benefits stuff and stuff like that.

(51:04):
So it just no, this is a keeper and yeah, awesome.

Speaker 4 (51:08):
I can't say anything more than that.

Speaker 3 (51:09):
Rules.

Speaker 4 (51:09):
Yeah, it's fun, good watch, go ahead ring it for me?
All right, I can sleep on my face tonight. But seriously, though,
there I think that documentary. I told you guys about
the first maybe five minutes of it. You know, they
kind of switch back and forth to each member, and
what they kept saying was, I cannot stress how fun

(51:33):
we have, you know when with this band like and
and you can tell, you know, there's no like it's
he's pretty open about like you know, he's I don't
want to say he's controlling, but like I said, he
knows what he wants, right, but you can sense the
like how much they enjoy being together, making music together, touring.
He's like as exactly, and and you can and at

(51:53):
first they thought, you know, music videos, it's pretty lame,
it's just a commercial. But then they when they start
when they made one, and couldn't stop because they really
enjoyed acting and you know, like being a goof and
and you see it all of it. It's fun. So
you know, definitely a keep all right.

Speaker 2 (52:09):
Okay, guys, that concludes it. Three keeps not surprise. So Louie,
