Starting point is 00:01:11 this week's episode of plumbing the death star where we ask the important questions like would you go on a second date with blink 182 based on the events of the song first date First Date. All right. So are we assuming we've been on a date with Blink-182? Well, if you look at the song First Date. Yeah. First Date, Blink-182. It's a song that's on Take Off Your Pants and Jacket.
Starting point is 00:01:46 It was a successful single, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Great, great, great. The lyrics of that song talk about a first date, but they're from the perspective that the first date has happened. Okay. They kind of re- like talk about the events of the first date. It slips between like future and present tense.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Oh, man. Don't worry about that. Yeah, yeah. No, no, no, no, no. It was just so- like it happened. The date happened. Okay, but this was the date. It was just so, like, it happened. The date happened.
Starting point is 00:02:06 Okay. But this was the date. Yeah. We've got to figure out how it went. So, first of all, we're in our house getting ready. You can tell because at the start of the song, Blink-182 are in the car. They just can't wait.
Starting point is 00:02:18 It's nice that Blink-182 is excited. To date all four of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They can't wait. They're excited. Are we critiquing them on their first date as well? Sorry, our collective first date Well, yeah, because basically, I guess We are on a first date with Blink-182
Starting point is 00:02:29 This is how it went And then we decide if we want to go on a second date In Endgame, when Thanos snaps his hands How many members of Blink-182 are still around? They are lucky and all of them Yeah, so it's a reverse Hawkeye situation All of Blink-182 survive Green Day unfortunately all snapped
Starting point is 00:02:48 People are like Was that intentional? I've never heard of either And then they were like you will And then it was a whole thing He can't wait It's cool that a podcast is dating a bean That's cool
Starting point is 00:03:04 That's two concepts. That's cool. That's two concepts dating. That's all right. Like we all know I love it when a band dies. A whole band dies. Because a whole band can die. How cool is that? That happened kind of recently.
Starting point is 00:03:17 There was a car accident. A band didn't release one album, but we're going to get real big. They all died. The band is dead. The individuals are dead, yes, but also the band died. When the last two Beatles cock it, that's the Beatles dead. They died. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Anyway, so now a band is dating a podcast. Hey, want to hear something wild? Plumbing the Death Star can also die. It can die. If we all get hit with a piece of rebar at once. Dead. We're gone. That's Plumbing the Death Star, the podcast, the concept. No, it's just the podcast.
Starting point is 00:03:43 It's like a network. That rules. I love that. Anyway, so podcasters went on a date with a band. That's probably the death star, the podcast, the concept. No, no, it's not just the podcast. It's like a network. That rolls. I love that. Anyway, so podcasters went on a date with a band. That's exciting. That's what I'm getting at. They went to pick us up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:52 They were. So he's in the car. Okay. The band can drive. I'm liking that. That's cool. That's hot. So they got a car.
Starting point is 00:03:58 That's good. I got to get places. They're picking us up on our very first date. Yeah. Then jumps forward because presumably we're in the car Is it cool if I hold your hand? Mate, not while you're driving Don't be a coward
Starting point is 00:04:12 Just go for it a little bit Don't ask me is it cool if I hold your hand Just fucking do it No, don't take your hand off the wheel You can drive one hand It's actually about to get much worse And then We have an argument. I guess Jackson argues with them about trying to hold his hand
Starting point is 00:04:29 whilst they're driving. Pay attention to the road. Three steering wheels in this car. You can drive with one hand. I know you can. You can drive with your knees. It's fine. I have seen Joel Zammett eat spaghetti and drive.
Starting point is 00:04:40 It's good for you. Okay. Sure. It passes so many health regulations is this conversation happening in the car with blink 182 is it wrong if I think it's lame to dance well in the car yes I just like oh no no no no hang on it's right to think
Starting point is 00:04:58 it's lame to dance in the car yeah but if you're going somewhere where it's like a club or something and you don't want to dance fuck that yeah dance what are you doing you coward anyone who is like too cool to dance's like a club or something and you don't want to dance, fuck that. Yeah, dance. What are you doing, you coward? Anyone who is too cool to dance at like a... Fuck you. Let's go see everyone listening. At a restaurant.
Starting point is 00:05:13 Get up. Just dance. The women just won't care. Watching a film? Get up in the middle of the aisle. Just dance. No one will mind. Actually, that's a good point, Levins, because it kind of implies later in the song that they are at a restaurant. That's weird.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Why is he thinking about dancing? Is this conversation happening in the car? Because immediately Blink-182 is just telling me all of their insecurities. And that's a bad beginning to a day. Do you like my stupid hair? Okay. I hadn't even sat down. I hadn't even thought about it.
Starting point is 00:05:42 I put down my spaghetti I was going to eat in the car, and now I'm looking at your car. So you get into the car with someone that you're not sure about, it's the first date with them, and their first question to you is... Is it cool if I hold your hand? No, do you like my stupid hair? Well, clearly you don't like my stupid hair. You think it's stupid.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Or it's like, well, I actually liked your hair, and now am I stupid? Yeah. Or are you making me second guess your hair? What'd you get? Is the band Blink-182 trying to neg themselves? Can you do a self-neg? Gotta fall in love with them more, because I've made myself feel terrible. That's a confusing move.
Starting point is 00:06:21 Would you guess that I didn't know what to wear? Well, now I am. This is the kind of thing where I've sat down. I'm not even looking at Blink 182. I'm not even thinking about it. He's like, do you think my hair is stupid? And I look up and I'm like, yeah. Do you think I don't know how to dress?
Starting point is 00:06:35 Oh, my God, yes. We're all wearing, like, suits and ties. We're ready to go. And then Blink 182 are dressed are dressed up in like Star Wars costumes. Or like Sk8er Boi gear. That I didn't know what to wear. Be like, well, it's pretty cool. Yeah, I can tell you had no idea what to wear.
Starting point is 00:06:53 I'm wearing my robe. Okay. What? All right. The next line makes, well, the next two lines make it seem like that this conversation hasn't happened in the car, but we've gotten to a restaurant and they've blurted all of this out as we try.
Starting point is 00:07:04 This is a very awkward car ride. It's like, is my hair stupid? Are my clothes? I'm like, I'm looking at the road to the window. I'm like, you know what? The seven seats at the front? It's a bus. I'm just scared of what you think.
Starting point is 00:07:19 You make me nervous so I really can't eat. Well, then now I'm going to look like a piece of shit eating food. That seems weird as well in the car. It's like, you make me nervous so I really can't eat. Well, then now I'm going to look like a piece of shit eating food. That seems weird as well in the car. It's like, you make me nervous so I really can't eat. So we're all in. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I assumed it was the four of us. So we all got in the car.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Blink-182 were collectively driving us somewhere. We're all in the car. A band is dating a podcast. Yeah, and it rules. Blink-182 are each sitting on each other's laps, holding a steering wheel and we're doing the same in the passenger seat with one seatbelt stretched laboriously over the front of all four of us. All right.
Starting point is 00:07:51 We're safe. Have any of us, are the red flags red? Are the flags red enough for us to jump out of the car yet? Or are we still with this? Is anyone bailing at this point on the date? I just think he's a little bit of a piss baby, as in Blink-182, the pan. Blink-182 are a little bit of a piss baby as in blink 182. Blink 182 are a little bit of a piss baby.
Starting point is 00:08:08 I'm currently thinking, well, they're not eating. I'm going to get a meal out of this at least. Where are we going? Have we established that? It's just like the only, we get clues in the verse that I guess we're going to a restaurant, but then also they talk about dance. So maybe it's like, maybe it's a dinner to dance.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Yeah. Maybe it's like a honky tonk restaurant. Maybe it's like, you eat some fried wings and then you do a square dance. 182 is taking us to, that rules, I'm back in. Imagine if all of Blink-182
Starting point is 00:08:37 took you to Dracula, which is this weird, spooky cabaret restaurant in Melbourne. Do you know anyone in your entire life that's ever eaten there? No. Yes. I used to date someone who worked there. What kind of food do they serve at Dracula's?
Starting point is 00:08:53 Not good. I imagine bain-marie food. Kind of. It's almost like wedding food, as in you kind of get either the steak or the chicken and they kind of alternate. And so you're like, I don't like this. Can I change with you?
Starting point is 00:09:06 And you can. And they do it for all three courses. I was sort of imagining the main meal was bad spaghetti. That's kind of the food I imagine you get at Dracula's. I have eaten there once. I went as a work party and it was one of the worst work parties I've ever been to. And I got underage drunk maybe.
Starting point is 00:09:24 That sounds like Dracula's. Didn't it close? I thought it closed. Yeah, it closed and now there's just witches, britches around. I thought that one also got closed. We had two. All of Australia's spooky cabaret restaurants
Starting point is 00:09:37 are in Melbourne. It's bizarre. For some reason there was enough of a demand that they popped up. There was a peak, I I guess in the 90s One of them had like a little roller coaster to come in That's alright I like that That's great
Starting point is 00:09:50 Yeah Weird So the next line is confusing Because now Blink-182 have played the dates Nearly done and we just got here Let's go don't wait What? What are this?
Starting point is 00:10:00 What? We're getting out of the car This night's almost over What? Did we just get to this honky tonk restaurant? So the night's almost over, but honest, let's make this night last forever. Forever and ever. Forever and ever.
Starting point is 00:10:12 There's going to be a lot of that in this episode. We'll remember how the song goes and then sing it to ourselves. I'm singing it to you guys. Everyone else isn't allowed to listen. Singing is just for us. There's a red flag. I barely know this guy. This band.
Starting point is 00:10:29 I barely know this band. I've heard of them. What album is this on again? Take off your pants and jacket. I'm very aware of this band. It's fine. I don't even know if Plumbing the Death Star is ready to date. You know what I mean? Especially someone this needy straight off the bat and also you know
Starting point is 00:10:46 feel like this is the first day yeah it's a bit much first day let's make this night last forever and ever if sorry if the if the if the band is asking me these questions of like if i can is it cool if i hold your hand yeah smell my hair oh it's so stupid oh look i didn't know what to wear. Stupid, stupid. I'd be like, Blink-182, stop hitting yourself. Fuck. Look, I'm... Also, it's weird. It's a red flag. I'm like, look, we might get two meals out of this, but I'm worried.
Starting point is 00:11:13 You're playing, fingers crossed. Give me some chicken wings. Blink-182, even on the most perfect date night, are like, hey, I want to make this night last forever. How many nights do you think you have in you? To spend with Blink-182. You like Tom DeLonge? I can give you. Oh, you would love Tom
Starting point is 00:11:32 DeLonge, Jack. He thinks aliens are real and he wants to go to Mars or something. Is Elon Musk going to let him go to Mars? Great question. You should ask Tom DeLonge. He'll probably- I might tweet Elon Musk. Are you going to ask Tom DeLonge He'll probably I might tweet Elon Musk
Starting point is 00:11:47 Are you going to let Tom DeLonge go to space or what? He wants to Let him do it I'll tag Tom DeLonge Break up with Grimes and date us And Blink-182 Come on We're in a polyamorous relationship
Starting point is 00:12:03 With a band and a company SpaceX Blink-182 and plumbing the nester Come on. We're in a polyamorous relationship with a band and a company. SpaceX, Blink-182 and Plumbing the Nester. I ship it. Can we talk about the fact that Blink-182 wants to make this night last forever? They don't want to make it the best night ever. They just want it to keep going. I'm not concerned about length.
Starting point is 00:12:20 I'm concerned about quality. It feels like maybe that first off, I'm going to stand by that. I think Blink-182 here are piss babies. But but also i feel they're putting us on a pedestal yeah yeah i feel after one day they're like let's make this last forever i'm like whoa calm down i'm great all right i'm not that great i haven't been here for a few months what have you achieved in the last few months that makes blink 182 circa 2002 want to date you forever i have no idea well in 2002 they are roughly the same age that we are now well that's that's good i guess i don't know in 2002 i was underage blink 182 hold on no well it'dink-182 Plumbing the Death Star only existed as a twinkle in Sam's eyes so
Starting point is 00:13:06 we can't really count that I there's a weird because look spoilers Blink-182 is more famous than Plumbing the Death Star
Starting point is 00:13:13 and that's controversial what the fuck am I here for so you're right I've never performed at a sound wave I don't know
Starting point is 00:13:22 what album do we have none but my point is there's a bit of a power imbalance you know. What album do we have? Nones. But my point is, there's a bit of a power imbalance. You know what I mean? We invited Levens over telling him we're recording Damn It 2.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Yeah. What's my server again? But it's weird that they, we're like a peasant to them, you know? That's strange. But they seem to be very nervous about this,
Starting point is 00:13:41 so I can only presume in their eyes, we are very hot. Did they think where my dad wrote a porno or something? They're confused as to what podcast we are. I overheard them talking about you guys earlier and they actually said, when you smile, I melt inside. I'm not worthy for a minute of your time.
Starting point is 00:14:04 I really wish it was only me and you. I'm jealous worthy for a minute of your time. I really wish it was only me and you. I'm jealous of everybody in the room. Red flag. Yeah, big one. Hello. Okay, let's explore those for a second. I'm jealous of everybody in the room. What, the other people at the restaurant? Yeah. They don't get the meal in once?
Starting point is 00:14:19 No, no, no. Blink-182 doesn't want anyone else looking at Plum on the desktop. We are hot to them. We are. This is just one date. I want to still play the field. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. This is Green Day Band someone was mentioning before.
Starting point is 00:14:35 No, no, they got snapped. No. Okay, so this scenario exists. In the five years between Infinity War and Endgame. Okay, I've got one question. What happened to Sum 41? It's a great question. My boys, Jimmy and Will, where are they at?
Starting point is 00:14:58 They're good. Jimmy and Will, maybe they lost the drama. Kevin Feige's got to release a big list. How good would that be if Kevin Feige was like, okay, everyone's been asking a lot of questions about where everybody was and wasn't during the five years between Infinity War and Endgame. But I'm here to let you know that nine out of 17 members
Starting point is 00:15:20 of Real Big Fish are still rocking on stage every night of the week. So they're like, so, you know, they've got some positions to fill. Yep. So what if they,
Starting point is 00:15:32 you know, maybe they post the surviving members, or in this case, all members of Bling 182. To join real big fish. Yeah, well, they get like,
Starting point is 00:15:38 you know, one member of Green Day. Oh no, they all went, sorry. Green Day got snapped. How many times has it happened?
Starting point is 00:15:46 It's just not hitting me You know It's hard They were in the Simpsons That's pretty famous They died though Now they died again They're in the Simpsons movie And Principal Skinner
Starting point is 00:15:55 Not in the Simpsons movie The biggest injustice That I've ever experienced In my life But even the playing field Trey Coole gets hit In the dick with a stone and then the barge sinks and they die.
Starting point is 00:16:07 That is pretty good. Who? Trey Cool, the drummer. Trey Cool. Trey Cool. From Real Big Fish. Trey Cool, that's his name from Green Day. Birth name?
Starting point is 00:16:17 No, it's something, something, the third. I can't remember. Look, my Green Day knowledge. Not as good as it used to. This is my impersonation of Green Day from the Simpsons movie. Da da da da da da da da da da da
Starting point is 00:16:32 Oh, my dick! Sick. So, I don't know why we're on such a It's crazy. He's very, very jealous of like, it's just a very jealous band right now. Can we try and figure out where the hell we've gone with Blink-182 is very, very jealous of, like, it's just a very jealous band right now. Can we try and figure out where the hell we've gone with Blink-182?
Starting point is 00:16:48 I think Honky Tonk might be the best guess. Where did they meet us? Yeah. Where did they meet us? They found us online on a podcast band dating app. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like Christian Mingle, but for podcasts. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:00 Do you want to date exclusively concepts? Yeah, and why am I here? I don't know You've always been the fourth member of Plumbing the Death Star We've only released two official episodes Three official episodes This is the fourth official real episode This is the third official real episode
Starting point is 00:17:21 It's happening right here right now It's rare, because of the Melbourne-Sydney gap, it becomes hard to record with the four core members of Florida. Yeah, time goes slowly in Sydney. Every other episode has just been a test of us. We just keep keeping out, you know, it's like keeping your teeth sharpened. So I think you're right.
Starting point is 00:17:38 A honky tonk is like some kind of square dancing bomb. I was trying to think maybe even like the, you know, the dance scene from Pulp Fiction, how it is kind of like a diner kind of dinner dance. Something Jack Roberts. Yeah. Yeah. Where do you reckon Blink-182 would take us?
Starting point is 00:17:55 Yeah, because a honky-tonk restaurant doesn't really seem Blink-182's style. That seems like something that we would take Blink-182. We're like, great restaurant, good music, good food. Oh, do you love to dance? It's troughs of chicken and a guy with a banjo. Dude, you don't even use your hands. You just put your hand in the chicken. Blake got 82. Can I call you Blake?
Starting point is 00:18:14 Just put your hand in the chicken. The worst part of this is I can imagine you loving a restaurant that's just all wet chicken and a guy with a banjo. Wet chicken, guy with a banjojo and all the coke you can drink. Sorry, sarsaparilla. Yeah. You put the sarsaparilla in the corner of your mouth with a little straw and then you bury your head in the chicken.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Delicious. It's infuriating knowing you as a real-life person, knowing that this isn't a bit for you. You wish this restaurant existed. I'm just describing my dream restaurant. That's all. And taking Blink-182 there and getting them involved. I just need to know at what point of the year does this restaurant celebrate Halloween?
Starting point is 00:18:51 Oh, that's going to be the greatest night of the year. Absolutely. And all year round. No, Halloween. I'm afraid you're not worthy of going on a date with Blink-182 if you can't answer this question. Well, I'm probably not. Let's be honest. Because Halloween should only be celebrated
Starting point is 00:19:10 on Christmas. Well, I mean, technically it's celebrated all year round. So I feel like we passed. Yeah, we'll celebrate Halloween and Christmas. Jack and Sally, if you want. You can always find me
Starting point is 00:19:26 I can only do it in the voice you can't something about spiders it's another fucking song where they're like I wish tonight would never end nights have to end blink 182 at a certain point dawn is an issue the sun will just
Starting point is 00:19:43 rise I get it staying out late's fun. Yeah. But it doesn't make the... They don't understand time. Okay. So please don't look at me with those eyes. Clearly we've turned.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Okay. Clearly we've turned on Black 1 82. We've looked around this terrible honky tonk restaurant and been like, is this really what you've brought us on this date for? He's been jealous. He's like beating himself up emotionally. I'm like, this man, sorry, this band has the self-esteem of a worm.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Yep. I hate them. And then, please don't hit. And I'm eating this wet chicken. They haven't even touched it. I'm popping my head up. What? Popping my head out of the chicken trough.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Have you noticed Blink-182 hasn't touched that chicken trough? Why? I don't understand. And I feel like I'm eating enough chicken for this entire podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, so Blink-182 are there just with their little beady eyes looking around the room, looking at us, looking around the room, checking to see if anyone is staring at the hottest shit, us,
Starting point is 00:20:38 and getting real jealous about it. And we've noticed. Yeah, yeah. So we've looked at them with those eyes. With those eyes. And I guess at some point we must have hinted that we're capable of lies. I think, look, I think we're trying to like just gently being like, hey, do you want dessert? We're like, no.
Starting point is 00:20:54 No. I would like to go home. I've got to be home. I've got work tomorrow. I just don't know if I can stay out much longer. You're signaling for a check? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think we're trying to do a check? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Yeah. I think we're trying to do a bit of a white lie in terms of maybe, look, we've got work tomorrow, big day at the office. Considering how much Blink-182 wants this night to go on forever, any kind of like- And ever, and ever, and ever. And ever. Being like, yeah, we've got to leave at some point.
Starting point is 00:21:23 It's not a good sign for old Blink-182. They're very unhappy. All right, as a spokesperson for Blink-182, which is why I'm here. Infiltrator. I said to pass on, don't waste your time on me. You're already the voice inside my head. They miss us now.
Starting point is 00:21:43 Presumably the breakup song about us. I dread the thought of our very first kiss. Link 182 wrote, I miss you about plumbing the death star. Yeah, that's a little piece of music trivia for you. So come up in Spotify and, you know. Yeah, absolutely. Hello there. Plumbing the death star.
Starting point is 00:22:01 The angel from my nightmare. The shadow in the background of the morgue The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the alley We can live like Jack and Sally if we want That's us, let's plumbing the dust Jack, I'm Jackson Sally, confused with you That's what the Jolls are called outside of the studio
Starting point is 00:22:19 Sally And the pause, Levin's Man, I misuse a sad song if it's about us and that date Because he's like, and in the end we'll wish this never ends They really misinterpreted what this date was Well, I think they're projecting They're like, really, plumbing the death star wanted that date to never end It wasn't just me
Starting point is 00:22:41 When really we were like, oh, this honky tonk restaurant can eat my ass. You know, things were a bit better. Man, if all those other patrons out there were just like looking at him and just like, oh man, we could have made it go forever.
Starting point is 00:22:54 A bit paranoid. Yeah. A bit paranoid. Let's get to the last couple lines in the second verse. Which, okay, keep in mind that Blink-182 at the time of this song
Starting point is 00:23:02 were roughly around the age of 28. All right. Cows. I dread the thought of 28. All right. Cowards. I dread the thought of our very first kiss. Look, us too. We also did. I think maybe they're reading our projection. Hey, if you kiss one member of Blink-182 and Zamet kisses another member later and then Levin's kiss,
Starting point is 00:23:21 if we don't kiss at the same time did the podcast and the band kiss or did the individual members kiss how do we get a first kiss i think it's gonna be like a seven like a seven way kiss does it have to be like a three two one go yeah not as angry but i mean more sexy yeah three two one there have been multiple members of blink 182 i think we can all get our own member of blink 182 how2 How many members of Blink-182 are there? There's always three But they've had two drummers and two bassists Tom DeLonge not in the band anymore
Starting point is 00:23:54 Alright good I just didn't want it to be uneven He's gone and done Angels and Airways Matt Skipper The guy from Alkaline Trio A band that were never as successful in Australia I frankly never heard of them. And also Thanos.
Starting point is 00:24:10 Thanos was a member of the Green Day? Yeah, that's what he said. Thanos, you said you never heard of it before. Thanos, what the fuck? I just wanted to get rid of Green Day. Damn, it's a great song. A target that I'm probably... I never thought
Starting point is 00:24:25 I'd die alone. I left the loudest, who'd have known? As he pushes Gamora off the edge. So then Blink-182 thinks that they're going to miss kissing us, which is great because, again, it's like a four-way kiss. So it's just hard to fuck up.
Starting point is 00:24:47 And also if you're 28, you've probably kissed people before. Look, I don't want to. We don't know. We don't know. Blink-182. But if they've kissed, we don't know if the band's kissed. Hey, Jackson, why don't you go on a date at age 28 with a big virgin? So I want to date with a big virgin
Starting point is 00:25:05 in Blink-182. Blink-182 is a- Basically, big virgin piss baby worms. I don't like- If they're dreading their first kiss,
Starting point is 00:25:12 I'd be like, so, Enema of the State, all lies, never kissed anyone. Interesting. Yeah, cool. Sure, Blink-182.
Starting point is 00:25:18 I'd also be lied about Blink-182. All this talk is making me want to download some Blink-182s. I'm just going to do that. Anywhere of the state in their greatest hits will cover most of what you need.
Starting point is 00:25:30 Going away to college is a great song. And then Blink-182 pretty much just goes on to reiterate that they would like this date to go forever, which is a terrible thing to say after just failing to kiss us. Or being like, I'd love to kiss you, but I'll fuck it up, so I'm not going to. I dread the thought of our very first kiss, a target that I'm probably going to miss.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Maybe it's because I'm too slippery from the chicken. Are we just moving out the way? What are you going to do, Blink? Or are you just trying to like... Move the target, baby! Is he going to kiss us and accidentally gets our teeth? I don't know. What is this?
Starting point is 00:25:57 That is the worst feeling in the world. Yes, it is. Blink, what the hell? It sounds weird, but it feels worse. What about just someone kissing your teeth Yeah what about just lips on teeth Lip to tooth actually That is somehow less intimate
Starting point is 00:26:13 Than a handshake You're so right Hey all three members of Blink-182 Kiss my teeth 3, 2, one, go! They taste the chicken on my teeth. Hey, they got a meal at the end. So I guess we need to really go through what has happened on this date, I guess. Because it sounds like if you go line by line, it's absolute chaos,
Starting point is 00:26:41 as both us and the listeners have just realized. So, well, they've picked us up and they're nervous as shit. And they've blurted out some weird things about, you know, they're kind of doing the whole like insecurity thing. Like, look at me, I'm a terrible person. Which, I don't know, is that endearing? It's okay. I mean, it's a tactic, but I'm not sure I'm up for it.
Starting point is 00:26:59 If I've spoken to them before and it wasn't just in paragraph form and I was like, Hey, do you like my stupid hair? Would you guess that I didn't know what to wear? Like, I'd be like, that's not, I like that. You're a insecure.
Starting point is 00:27:15 If these have just come up in conversation, not one after the other, I'm just scared of what you think is, I don't know. If they follow up with that, then you're like, I don't, it's kind of like, you almost like it. Oh, you know, you looking good. Oh, do you like my stupid hair kind of they follow up with that, then you're like, don't even stress about it. It's kind of like, you're almost like, you're looking good.
Starting point is 00:27:27 Do you like my stupid hair kind of stuff? But even that, I'm just like, you're 28. Shut up. Yeah, it's a bit sad for an adult band. Joel Zammett's ideal date is someone gets in the car. They're like, hey, I'm horny for you. My hair's sick. My clothes are the best.
Starting point is 00:27:42 And I'm like, guess who's getting a handy on the way to the restaurant? You! Hell yeah. And I spit in my palm and lube him up. It's just great to get in the car and someone's like, hey. And you're like, hey. And then that person in the car's like, I look fucking great today. Also, I'm self-confident I can get behind.
Starting point is 00:27:58 And now a quick word from our sponsor. Well, just a weird pause. But while I have you here, have you heard of our sister podcast, Shut Up A Second? I'm not in it, so already we're off to a great start. Jackson hosts it, and it's just comedy without the pretense of pop culture garbage. So if you're tired of us talking about a Star War, a current Avenger, or that Harry Potpot bloke, why not check out Shut Up A Second? There's currently almost 300 episodes of pure, unadulterated nonsense, available on iTunes
Starting point is 00:28:30 or directly from our website, sanspansradio.com. Yeah, well, see, it wouldn't be so bad if then the date wasn't Blink-182 panickedly looking around the restaurant and being like, you fucking lying to me? Why is everyone looking at you? You fucking think you'd be better than me?
Starting point is 00:28:46 No, they're probably wondering why we're so loud. Why you haven't touched your chicken? Every time I move, my shirt rides up my belly. That's probably what they're saying, Blink-182. It's tight as a shirt. We've got a lot of boneless chicken. I got a shirt that was too small to impress you. Thought it would make me look
Starting point is 00:29:07 thin, but it's just red enough. Blink-182, stop pointing it out. The worst part is that sounds like it's based on something that's happened in real life. Yeah, I have shirts that are too small and a belly. And which pop-punk band told you
Starting point is 00:29:23 they were? What's a rude pop punk band? Great question. Like a mean-spirited one. Because bands like Fall Out Boy and stuff, no, they would be too busy beating themselves up. Previously, have we only dated other podcasts? Is this our first foray into dating a band?
Starting point is 00:29:42 A pop punk band specifically. Because it feels like a podcast dating a podcast, that's what we're used to, you know? Yeah. We dated Metallica for a bit, but they were a bit old Pop punk band specifically. Because it feels like a podcast dating a podcast. That's what we're used to, you know? Yeah. We dated Metallica for a bit, but they were a bit old and intense for us. Yes, absolutely. They kept suing us for illegally downloading their love.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Lars subscribed to our podcast, realized it was free, and then was furious. We had some things to say about Saint Anger. That drum sound. Really? That one? Really? Really? Okay. Really? That one? Really. Really. Okay.
Starting point is 00:30:07 Your lifestyle determines your death style. You go with death style. Is that a thing? Is that a thing? Is that a concept that's real? Fran, tick, tick, tick, tock. Is there any other words to this song? Not really, huh?
Starting point is 00:30:19 Fran, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tock. I'm on Metallica's side here. They didn't come here to be attacked. He's going to have that on repeat. Oh, cool. Oh, you've released a double album as a DVD. It's got you blackness. Oh, it's bad.
Starting point is 00:30:32 Guys, I didn't get the memo that we needed to learn Metallica references before this podcast. This was just that. That was all references to the album Saint Anger, which you can find on Spotify and is bad. Saint Anger. That's all I know about that album. Shall we explore I Miss You as a breakup song
Starting point is 00:30:52 about the fallout of that date? So to answer the very obvious question, no, no, we're not going on a second date. I'm just not interested. Look, is anyone here interested in a second date with Blink right now? I was fine with the first part, and then when they were jealous of everyone else in the room. Besides, if one of us dates Blink-182, it doesn't count.
Starting point is 00:31:08 A human being can't date a band. It's not a thing. Levens, where do you fall on this? If you guys are seriously passing up on this opportunity, and there's going to be no competition, then I'm going... Levens is going to attempt to be one man that dates an entire man one man a mere mortal date an entire bear a podcast sure that makes sense yeah a podcast a
Starting point is 00:31:33 company i'm just saying that maybe if i was there during the hardest times of blink 182 and a launch would still be in the band but then we wouldn't have angels and airwaves and you know name one of their songs. Classic song. And then we also wouldn't have got Plus 44. A franchise could also date a band. A franchise could date a band. McDonald's and...
Starting point is 00:31:57 No, I feel like McDonald's dating Blink-102 is almost like a sugar daddy relationship. Yeah, maybe not McDonald's. Jack in the box. Oh, yeah. The phase five in the box. Yeah, but phase five of the MCU is Blink-182's
Starting point is 00:32:11 incorporation. Yeah, look, I think that's allowed, but a mortal man cannot date a band for the very idea. Alright, so I miss you. I reckon things have not gone well. We probably have not dated Blink-102, given the track record of our very first date,
Starting point is 00:32:29 which did not end well. A little paranoid git. And then we've run into Blink years down the path. They've hit and... We've stumbled upon his MySpace. Yeah. And we've discovered his lyrics, all these little poems he's written.
Starting point is 00:32:41 Oh, no. I miss you, miss you. Do you think the moment we read that, we're like, this song's about us? Yeah. It's about that one date we had at that honky-tonk restaurant so many years ago. I love that anytime anyone from Link 182 bumps into their ex,
Starting point is 00:32:55 they just, hello there. It's not just, hi. Hello there. Hello there. It's a lonely nightmare. Has anyone mixed the Obi-Wan hello there with the start of this song? Surely. Surely someone has. Surely. Hello there. Hello there. Has anyone mixed the Obi-Wan hello there with the start of this song? Surely. Surely someone has.
Starting point is 00:33:08 Someone should. Or whatever. Hello there. I don't know. I've never seen a movie. Hello there. How are you? It's me, Obi-Wan.
Starting point is 00:33:16 You know that movie? I haven't fucking seen it. I haven't seen any movie. Hi there. What's the song? May the force be with you. Cheerio. Pimp, pimp, cheerio.
Starting point is 00:33:25 It's me, Obi-Wan. Hello. Good day, Luke. Yeah, I remember Star Wars. I remember the Jawas. They're sound people. They'll be back in a great number. Whoa, toot toot.
Starting point is 00:33:40 Obi-Wan's classic line. Toot toot. I fucking remember the film. Last you know, where's the Luke? Yeah, exactly. I regret. No, actually, I don't. I'm glad I mentioned that.
Starting point is 00:33:52 That's good. All right. So hello there. The angel from my nightmare. Fucking okay. We've ghosted Blink-182. Yeah, I don't want to. They're walking behind us.
Starting point is 00:34:02 Yeah. And you're like, I know you you're there Blink-182 But I'm just gonna ignore you And in the background They're saying Hello back Cause yeah
Starting point is 00:34:12 How did How did How did after the first date What happened Based on the context of this I reckon we've ghosted them So we've got They've just constantly texted us
Starting point is 00:34:19 And we've ignored the shit out of that Fuck Well it's 2001 We probably don't have a phone Yeah that's true But we do The sex was chill. Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:29 You know what? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ghost this guy. I'll be back. I'll be home in an hour. I'm gonna go fuck a band. I'm gonna have some chill sex with the band. Hey guys, give me that. I'm just gonna go fuck a band. I've got a couple of things to fill.
Starting point is 00:34:44 Just gonna go real quick, fuck a band.'ve got a couple of things to fill Just going to go real quick fuck a bear I'll be back The timing, the structure, did you hear I fucked Blink-182 Levens fucked him The timing is trying to do here Levens fucked him, that's good That's great
Starting point is 00:35:02 The shadow in the background of the morgue. They're laying it on thick. One day, which wasn't that good. He took us to some greasy chicken bar. Didn't even dance. We danced. If someone was like, you're the angel from my nightmare. So I'm like, okay, that's weird.
Starting point is 00:35:19 Because a bright spot at a bad time, presumably. Yeah, true. The shadow in the background of a morgue. a bad time, presumably. Yeah, true. The shadow in the background of a morgue. That's just meaningless concepts. I'm rolling my eyes. Yeah, I'm like, what do you mean? I might be looking away and rolling my eyes just so they don't see and maybe attack me.
Starting point is 00:35:35 A morgue is already spooky. Putting a shadow in there achieves nothing. I wouldn't even notice a shadow in a morgue. Yeah, me neither. Especially in the background of a morgue. Is the background of the morgue lit up? Yeah, exactly. Usually not. It's like lightning of a morgue. Is the background of the morgue lit up? Yeah, exactly. Usually not.
Starting point is 00:35:45 It's like lightning in a graveyard. Who cares? Oh, there's a vampire in this. Oh, look at that. Is this Al giving me a hoot? Hey, this abandoned mansion also has some scary wind. Wind? Why are people scared of wind?
Starting point is 00:36:04 Oh, it's spooky. It makes a woo sound. Like a wolf. I can make a woo sound. Oh, look, I'm scared. I'm not scared of me. Anyway, I'm the unsuspecting victim of the darkness in the valley. Oh, shut the fuck up.
Starting point is 00:36:16 Oh, my God. Who's having a fucking pity party? Jesus. Does that mean like as I walk through the shadow of the valley of death? Is that the reference? Yes, it's a reference to Gangsters Better Than Ducks. A reference to the Sonic trailer. Unsuspecting victim.
Starting point is 00:36:31 Yeah, I don't know what that means. This is just like classic victim syndrome. He's blaming us for our bad day that he fucked up. Yeah. Should we have at least, look, and we were cowards and ghosted. Fair enough. Yeah, we should have said straight away, hey, Blink-182, maybe it's time we see other bands.
Starting point is 00:36:47 Do you have Newfound Glory's number? Do real big fish still rock so hard? Why do they rock so hard, Levins? It feels rude of us to ask Blink-182 for the number of any other band. That's not on. Shouldn't do that. We can live like Jack and Sally if we want.
Starting point is 00:37:07 I'm assuming he's referring to Jack Skellington and Sally. Yes, that's right, from Night of Old Christmas. Or Jack from Jack Skellington and Sally from Sonic the Hedgehog comics. Sonic's main love interest. I reckon that's what he's talking about in fan fiction. He's rhythm. Jack Nicholson, Sally Field. Now I understand.
Starting point is 00:37:30 Old people being horny. Hey, the elderly fuck too. They sure do. They are boning and in weird ways. Because they gotta. You can always find me. We'll have Halloween and Christmas and in the night we'll wish this never ends. We'll wish this never ends.
Starting point is 00:37:45 I don't want Halloween on Christmas. Go away, Blink. I just like, I don't know why my brain did this, but I just need to get this out there because I just had this thought and I've never thought about this before until right now.
Starting point is 00:37:55 But Jack, based on the fact that you said that they fuck in weird ways, I imagined old people having anal for the first time in my entire life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I imagine old people have a lot of anal. I wouldn't be shocked.
Starting point is 00:38:04 Which old people? Just the general. Just the general old people. You just, my entire life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I imagine old people have a lot of anal. I wouldn't be shocked. Which old people? Just the general. Just the general old people. Anyone whose anal is still functional. Maybe you've lived your entire life. Because. You've made it to 70. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:14 You've never had anal. Guess what? You turn 70. Get anal. Anal o'clock. Because imagine this, Levin. Imagine you've never had anal. You hit 70.
Starting point is 00:38:21 You're like, I've got 10 years left. I could die and have never had anal. Yeah. I better You're like, I've got 10 years left. I could die and have never had anal. I better have 10 years of anal. I may as well. 10 years in and we're still burning like we're anal. At 70, your prostate's probably gone, so you're probably going to need a lot of force on that. There's a lot of arse fucking happening in old folks' homes.
Starting point is 00:38:39 We're mature adults. We can talk about it. We can admit this. Yeah. If you're old, tweet him. Have you fucked your significant other in the ass because you're old? That's what I'd like to know. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:38:50 Thank you. Thank you. Anyway. No other reasons. Just general old. Not like I want to give it a burl. Not horny. Just I'm old and I should give it a go.
Starting point is 00:39:00 Where are you? And I'm so sorry. I cannot sleep. I cannot dream tonight. Okay. I need. Yes, Jackson? No, that's good.
Starting point is 00:39:13 I just, I feel like we should go bit by bit. That's all. You know what I mean? I don't want to burst our load as it were. Okay. So we've run burst. Okay. I don't want to burst my load.
Starting point is 00:39:25 I don't want to burst my load. I don't want to burst my load. I don't want to come inside. Because I miss you, babe. And I don't want to burst my load. That's it. Even when I burst my load. The sweetest burst would never do. This is our best episode.
Starting point is 00:39:47 I'm happy to admit that. I can burst my load even when I'm sleeping. So, yes. I get why people like this podcast. I get why Blake182 were interested. It makes sense now. I understand. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:40:04 Look, I just, they're going through like a got. It makes sense now. I understand. All right. It's okay. Look, I just, they're going through like a goth emo phase right now. They're dressing up in all black and getting Jack Skellington tattoos. It's exactly the same thing. Because I'm just going to not, I'm going to try and not laugh. Yeah. When I see that.
Starting point is 00:40:17 This song has the same thing as First Date, where it seems like the, good, yes. Right advice. The first verse seems like they've run into us. And then the second verse seems like that. Good. Yes. The first verse seems like they've run into us. And then the second verse seems like that. This is the MySpace post. Or is this like a text?
Starting point is 00:40:32 Are they just kind of texting us? Oh, yeah. If you look at this after, like, say, you know, we wish this never ends. Then, like, I miss you. I miss you. And they just kind of keep texting that. Where are you? And I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:40:42 Where are you? Each one of these is one text. I can't imagine that. I can't imagine that. I can't imagine that. Because I know I can. Yeah. Where are you and I'm so sorry where are you each one of these is one text just imagine that because I know I can where are you Christ almighty where what
Starting point is 00:40:50 this person is now maybe stalking us imagine imagine if you got a text from someone that you were dating that was suddenly like you know
Starting point is 00:40:58 fair enough okay where am I you know I understand why you would want to know that and then I'm so sorry I'm so sorry fair enough what have they done and then skip forward a few sentences the webs from all the spiders I understand why you would want to know that. And then I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Fair enough. What have they done?
Starting point is 00:41:06 And then skip forward a few sentences. The webs from all the spiders. Catching things. Oh, no. Eating their insides. Yeah, I mean, I guess. What? I guess spiders.
Starting point is 00:41:17 What just comes creeping on so haunting every time? The six strange darkness. The six strange darkness comes creeping on. So haunting every time. The six strange darkness. The six strange darkness comes creeping on. So haunting every time. Yeah. Depression? Has anybody ever said this darkness is really creeping on right now? Blink has.
Starting point is 00:41:36 Our significant other is Blink. Man, you are all in. You are all in. Yeah. We've disappeared. Levin's is like, yeah, we should have chill sex. Also, they're definitely interested. Levin, we just, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:41:50 Like indecision to call you. He's like, oh, I want to call you. And hear your voice of treason. That's just classic Tom behavior. Wow. Holy shit. What a line. Hear the voice of treason.
Starting point is 00:42:02 Are you kidding me? I honestly think that I, now I can't unthink it, like hearing treason, but I reckon that I always thought that that line said reason. Well, that would make sense. Yeah, no, I get the joke reference.
Starting point is 00:42:13 Yeah, right. It's just so- It's so good. That's some middle school shit there, Blink-182. Yeah. I feel like they just- Quick update, they're like 32, 33 when this song comes out.
Starting point is 00:42:23 So look, if we were dating in high school and we had one date and this was how they reacted, you know, we were taken to the- They made a scene at school and all the teachers and the principal, you have to go in front of them and be like, what's happening? And explain it. I'd understand because, you know, dumb fuck kids.
Starting point is 00:42:40 Blink, you're 28. You're 30-odd. 30, yeah. Calm down. I'm really enjoying it. Like, Zabit, this song was written by someone your age. Yeah, this is bad. This is red flags up the wazoo.
Starting point is 00:42:52 How great is it to imagine the text responses to each one? Where are you? I'm at home. I'm so sorry. What did you do? That's okay. Don't worry about it, please. Because he's clearly referring to that one night.
Starting point is 00:43:03 I cannot sleep. I cannot dream tonight Okay Okay look Guys Hey That's the question Have you been drinking
Starting point is 00:43:11 Yeah yeah yeah I need somebody And always Okay look mate I've already said no Try Tinder This is strange darkness Okay
Starting point is 00:43:19 Comes creeping on Soul haunting every time What What Sorry explain As I said, I counted. What were you counting? The webs from all the spiders.
Starting point is 00:43:29 Clean your fucking room. Catching things and eating their sides. That's gross. That is how spiders work. But also, yuck. Shut up. So stop watching spiders. You're weird.
Starting point is 00:43:37 Please don't call me. And hear your voice of treason. Just dot, dot, dot. They're getting one ellipsis from me. A lot of like dot, dot, dot. They're getting one ellipsis from me. Dot, dot, dot, and then okay, full stop. No capitals. Plumbing the Death Star is typing. Delete, delete, delete.
Starting point is 00:43:51 Plumbing the Death Star is typing. Delete, delete, delete. Dot, dot, dot. Okay. Levinson's heart eyes. Will you come home and stop this pain tonight? Stop this pain tonight. Clearly they sent it and they weren't sure they'd send it again.
Starting point is 00:44:07 I send the word daddy. Look, I think you've had too much to drink. Look, please go to sleep and we'll talk about this in the morning. That's my reply to that last line. Don't waste your time on me. You're already the voice inside my head. I miss you. It's great if you imagine this as like a sad, drunk,
Starting point is 00:44:31 like voice recording sent to us. That's the beauty of the song. Tom DeLonge's verse sounds like a drunken voicemail. Oh, yeah, absolutely. He even sings like this. My head. My head. My head like it is. My head. My head. Your what?
Starting point is 00:44:48 My head. My head. Shut up. Don't waste your time on me. You're a voice inside my head. I miss you. I miss you. Yeah, look, he's drunk as shit.
Starting point is 00:45:04 Blink-182's drunk and calling It's very funny for a band to be drunk An entire band Drunk, darling, plumbing Hey, the entire band I reckon we've had too many beers But what do you say we call that Melbourne-based podcast And their guest
Starting point is 00:45:24 Oh my god, great idea I miss them so much But what do you say we call that Melbourne-based podcast and their guest? Oh, my God. Great idea. I miss them so much. I miss them. We had such an amazing night. I miss them. Wait. Press voice record.
Starting point is 00:45:34 I got a song. A song. I got a song. Let me sing the song. Let me sing with the band we all love. No way. Everybody's clapping. They're loving this moment.
Starting point is 00:45:46 Oh, my God. Wow. So Blink-182, I'm probably not going to date them. Yeah, I'm not going to date them. I'm sad I dated them once. Look, to be honest, it feels like hassles, a lot of hassles, and now I'm afraid that they might harm me. At least Pete Wentz sends dick pics.
Starting point is 00:46:05 You guys are right. I'm in. I'm dating Fall Out Boy, I guess. Levins is like, fuck yeah, chill sex with Blink-182. Whatever, weird messages, who cares? I'm feeling this. I might go back to Metallica,
Starting point is 00:46:20 see what Death Magnetic was like. Was it good? I'm going to try and date Elon Musk and SpaceX. See if they can put this boy on Mars. And on that note, I've been Joel. I've been Jackson. I've also been Joel. And I've been Levins.
Starting point is 00:46:35 And if you like hearing horrible stories about fucking Blink-182, you'll love my podcast, Hey Fam. It comes out every single week. And this could be a week that you listen to it. Find it wherever you find good podcasts. That was a stellar plug. That was great. It's so smooth.
Starting point is 00:47:03 The steps that I retrace The sad look on your face The timing and structure Did you hear he fucked her A day late, a buck short I'm writing the report On losing and failing When I move, I'm flailing
Starting point is 00:47:24 Now everybody and it's happened once again. You'll turn into a friend. Someone understands. Sees through the master plan. Jackson, you look real confused. But everybody's gone. And I've been here for too long. Literally been here for 10 minutes.
Starting point is 00:47:42 The face is on your own. Well, I guess this is growing. Hey everybody, it's your host, Andrew Levins. Welcome to another episode of Plumbing the Death Star. It's the second official episode, third, third official episode of Plumbing the Death Star. And with me today, I have, I've got Tom DeLonge. Love to be here. And I have the drummer from the Aquabats.
