Hey, welcome to the Sloppy Boys Blog, I'm the Big Hand Bopper. I'm sitting here with Jeff Dutton. Hey, hey. And Tim Kalpakis. We love you, Tim. How are you, Tim? Man, you look great. What is up? Yeah, that's right.

Tim gets a little extra love here today because we don't know what's going on with you, Jeff, and you're acting odd online how do you mean you've been doing you've been doing strange behavior on instagram and twitter monday you're posting weird black and white pictures that you usually you don't post that type of stuff usually yeah and then yesterday you leave this fucking message that says you're quitting the Sloppy Boys band. Yeah, I thought you might bring that up. Yeah. It would be weird

if we didn't. Yeah. Well, you know, I didn't want to drop a bomb on you, but it's probably good we talk about it on the blowout. Jeff, you dropped a bomb on us. It's true, folks, and Mike and Tim, I'm putting down the sticks, making way for new

you know yeah in the walk of life what there comes a time you're just done with the band yeah but i promised it won't affect the podcast oh that's fine yeah we love the podcast so much it already feels a little affected here feel the the vibe here today? Yeah, I don't like that. Stone Cold. It's still a fun vibe. Not unlike Steve Austin himself. It's still a fun vibe. We're talking best band name.

All right. Hey, I'll lead the discussion here today on my hosting duty. You know, it's not creative differences or anything weird. Everybody listening. Well, why would you leave, though? You know, sometimes... There comes a time in the walk of life, I heard. There comes a time in the walk of life.

Don't you ever wonder what's waiting out there for you? Every day. Do you not like the band? I do like the band. All right. Is it us? Do you not like us? We had a lot of great times together.

Yeah, I got a feeling we're still going to have good times in some capacity. Yeah, sure. I hope so. Yeah, yeah. Well, I hope you tell us more about this, Jeff, because I'm a little hurt. Not hurt, just blindsided. Sure. But you must agree that in the walk of life, there comes a time. Yeah, I never said there wasn't a time in the walk of life.

And like I said, folks, we're still friends, and we're still going to be delivering great podcasts. Friends. Is he making news? No. Yes, yes. I mean, you make your point about how you have to make room for new. Think about every day.

You're excited to eat food right oh sure but before but before you can eat the new food you have to blast turds out of your ass oh did he have to say blast tim that's perfect oh how dare you i meant to say launch no but now jeff is referring to us as as the turds oh i'm imagining a beautiful a beautiful banquet just for me but to to eat it i have to get rid of two beloved beloved turds you know but you're gonna flush us next we're going in the drink yeah what's so beloved about turd? It's stinky? Of course, you guys aren't my turds.

You're my friends. And I would never launch you or whatever. Blast. Whatever Tim's choice of blast or whatever his choice of words are. But in all seriousness, I'm trying to make way for new things in life. And I wonder what will become of me. And sometimes you got to leap before you know where you're headed. Does that make sense? yeah it makes sense but it ain't always easy

yeah it's not easy alright well I guess we just leave it there then that you're not in the band anymore but you're on the podcast and it shouldn't affect the podcast as you say well it was always confusing to be like oh it's the Sloppy Boys I'm in the Sloppy Boys podcast

it's the same guys as the band but it's different from the band so now it'll be a lot easier we gotta deal with that no it'll be way easier to say hey everyone we're podcast hosts two of the three are also in the band but one is not in that band but one has decided to leave uh and he told us online and that's the first we heard about yeah Yeah. Jeff, that sounds interesting. I hope you find whatever you're looking for and you let us know what it is when you find it. Maybe you'll post that too. Sure.

Thanks. Best of luck, but we got some podcasting to do. Yeah. Let's just do the pod. Let's deal with that later, but let's get on with the show. The show people are here to listen to and love. We love you. This is going to be a great episode. Yes!

They all are. That's always what we say going in. Right before we hit record. Should this be one of the greats? You know it, my man. You know it, and I need you two to back me! Have you guys seen the movie

Bo is Afraid? Yes. No. I saw it in the theater the other day. No, I'm afraid. I was in love with this movie. No, you weren't. No.

You're trolling me. No, I'm not troll. No troll. You loved it? For real? I had a great time. Jeff specifically said he didn't like it. I forget who liked it and did it.

I liked it. How could you forget a thing like that? Well, I mean, whatever. You may not have gotten it, Jeff. I could see that happening. Yeah, I know, I know. Where's all the explosions, man? I had a great time.

I thought it was very funny. That was the thing about it. It was very unique. Yeah, it was unique. For those who haven't seen it without blowing anything, or spoiling, as people say online, there's just a lot of crazy things that happen that you don't see coming or expect.

Tim Heidecker called it a masterpiece. Oh, interesting. He's a smart, funny guy. I guess that puts me in that same category. Anyway, I'm sitting next to two people that were on a boyfriend-girlfriend date of some sort. I say that because I saw some hand-holding. And they were laughing and stuff with everybody else. But they were also like, every time something would happen, they'd be like, what the fuck is this?

The girlfriend was like, why is any of this happening? What's happening? It's a very long movie. That was um thing i didn't like about it but uh as at the end as scenes like keep coming up you think it's like it's gonna roll credits another scene would start and you just hear him like what yeah oh man but it was filmmaking at. Peak most modern. I feel like this is a divisive film. Cause I saw, I think that Tim Heidecker tweet where he called it a masterpiece was like a quote retweet of a bad review.

Yeah. Someone was saying like, Oh, it was like saying like this, like there should be an apology for this film. A 24 must answer for this movie. Wow. I didn't realize there was such

heat about it. I could see people either strongly liking or strongly disliking. Mike, you have to get on the net. I'm telling you you gotta get on the net. I know. I'm always so fucking behind with all this stuff. Here's what you do. Mike, go to CompUSA. They have those CDs for free.

The 100 hours of AOL. AOL, yeah. Yeah, get one of those and pop it in your archive. Get one of those discs, Mike. Pick out a username, select a password, and log on. How about HockeyMan69? That's taken. 420?

Nobody does 420. That one's okay. 420Man69? 420Man. Oh no, 420Man's gonna come and smoke all the weed. The stash. Hey, we should do a secret stash episode where we, I guess, smoke weed and tell secrets. Well, the blowout's sort of our secret stash. I'm surprised we haven't done a weed episode, but we did talk about doing some THC drinks on the main.

Hasn't happened yet. Didn't Gabrus bring those up? Like he knew of some or something? Pabst has them. We should do those. You can buy them. Oh, yeah? Guys, we haven't checked our P.O. box ever,

but somebody sent us THC sodas seltzers in like December, and we never went and looked. We got to check. We got to check. We got to check. We have to check. You know, that just is reminding me. Somebody sent me a DM, I think on Instagram. I forgot to respond to it about sending me some either THC or mushrooms or something.

And I guess I never got back to it. And I guess that's not going to happen. And that's fine with me. I don't know if I need mushrooms being mailed to my home. You should, man. That's fun. I don't know. Hey, what's the best free stuff you ever got from being on the pod or whatever?

Jenny's. Any sweet hookups? Oh, Jenny's. That's a good one. Oh, the Gooder sunglasses. We got to hit them up again. Yeah, we got to hit up Gooder. Those are both good.

I've lost all my Gooders. I lost like 13 pairs of Gooders. I need them back. I broke a pair at the show in Philly on our last year's tour. No doubt that happened. It was a wild show. Those people are maniacs! Yeah, that

was fun being in a band. Yeah. That was the before time. But hey, what was Redwood Pines? What was the rye we got? I guess some good rye whiskey. Yeah. Redwood Empire.

Yeah, that's good stuff. It's good stuff. You know what I need to do? I'm just looking at my little drink cart here. I got one of those little wheelable things. It's positioned in such a way where most of my drinks, I can't get to a lot of them easily without like rolling the thing out and i think i forget that i have hey mike just roll it out i

know i gotta roll it out roll out the red carpet maybe that'll be something i do a little later on roll out ludicrous remember roll out homies I think it was rolling on 20s 20 inch rims did you guys have kids in your middle school or high school who were into cars and like modifying cars and stuff before they even had cars?

you're looking at him bro no no no like I knew kids who in like high school maybe they did have a car, but they were like, they had those magazines that just had rows and rows of rims. They'd be like, I'm going to get these for 2,000 bucks. Oh my God. And put them on a shitty car. In that early

Fast and Furious era, it was so funny. Kids in my high school just would have, they were tricking out the lamest car to start with. Yeah, of course. It looks like a Corolla. No matter what're like, it looks like a Corolla. No matter what you do, it's a Toyota Corolla.

There was a store in my mall that had like, it didn't sell cars, but it sold spoilers, shift knobs that had like skulls or eight balls and stuff. And then also like shifter pedals to make it look like you screw them on or whatever.

Oh, yeah. Like you had like blue or like carbon fiber, or carbon fiber shift pedals. Very silly. But I liked the idea. I like the idea of modifying it. It's a fun idea. Making it look like a video game car.

The Pimp My Ride is... That's done, right? There's no way that show can still be on. Are they still tricking out cars? Imagine season 36. I bet you they brought that back at some point. Yeah, yeah. They must have.

Pimp my website. Jeez, everything's so online these days. Pimp my website now? They want me to do pimp my website? Right, because it used to be Ride. Right. Yes. And now it's website. Yes. Right. Great. Ride is website now? God.

Are you two gonna see Fast 10? Fast X? No! No? I never like those. People say they're actually pretty fun. Just go and turn your brain off. And I go and I can't. Right't right right we've talked about this i i had a good time the i saw the last one i had a fun time you know what you

better believe i'm going to this one i was just talking to somebody and they were saying like yeah bo was afraid is really good if you just turn your brain off no what no no get this get this it was fucking ari aster who said that oh geez so i'm not surprised that the fast heads the fast heads love uh bo is afraid wait the director said turn your brain off similar audience maybe just don't look into it too much i don't know don't think about it too hard my problem is that when people say don't they tell me to turn my brain off i can't my mind is on fire coming up with theorems and formula yes yes yes wow Wow. You're much more scientifically minded,

Tim, than you let on. Exactly, yes! Yes! There's always, uh, people can't see because this is not a video, but he has beakers and things foaming with, uh, smoke and fog back there. Test tubes. From test tube to beaker. Your centrifuge is on the fritz, my boy! Do you even know what a centrifuge is jeff yes it spins the liquids

it spins me right round baby right who sings that song it's centripetal this kiss this kiss that's that's the twainster um wait so what were you singing you spin me right right round river baby river baby river baby river baby hey this is doing the song from river baby river baby moses oh damn what is the original river baby that's true that true. Don't you think the original River baby would be like goo goo goo I don't dress like Elmo Holly. I think the original River baby would be like

goo goo goo Guys we forgot we were supposed to make a movie right? A biopic of Moses where it starts with- Man of water. Moses, man of water. He's a river baby and then he parts the Red Sea.

But then spends 40 years in the desert. Yeah, yeah. We omit that. The antithesis of water. Yes, that's good. And then he turns to the camera at the end and he says, the antithesis of water. Yes, that's good.

And then he turns to the camera at the end and he says, it seems water has been with me most my life, but not all. Yes, most of the major events of my life either involved much, much water or a complete lack thereof. Too much water or not enough? What if it's like a Dune... Moses, Man of Water.

A Dune, like a double movie thing where Moses, Man of Water is leading up to the end of that movie, he's walking to the desert for 40 years, going into his 40-year stint, and then Moses 2, Sands of Time or something. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, why didn't we ever make that feature film?

Yeah, what the hell? We got the script and the money. We got the budget. Yeah, the studio approved it. We just couldn't find a director who saw the CGI. Wait, did we not have distribution? No, we had distribution. Yeah, but we couldn't type up the script because we're on strike with the WGA.

That's what it is. Folks, you gotta support the strike. You can't type. We couldn't type up the script because we're on strike with the WGA. That's what it is. Folks, you got to support the strike. You can't type. We couldn't get somebody to scab and type because no one wants to do that. And if you drive by, you got to honk. We could go on TaskRabbit and get a scab to type it for us. You guys ever use TaskRabbit? Yeah, usually we'll get like a screenwriter to type it for me.

On TaskRabbit? I need TaskRabbit to come over and fix something on my wall. This hanger fell off and ripped out some of my plaster. See, Mike, I would use TaskRabbit, but I'm just so handy. I know, you are handy. You're handy like a little Mario brother over there. I could go for a handy person. Every day I get a TaskRabbit to come wipe my butt.

What? All right, you both talked over each other. I'm glad you both did because those were two disgusting ideas. You heard one in each ear and said, nasty! Nasty boys are nasty men tonight.

The left is nasty. I'm going to go over to the right. Nasty boys are nasty men tonight. For just one night they're full grown and then one night they're full grown. And then tomorrow morning they're young again. Just one night a nasty boy can be a nasty man. They'll start with a dinner of snails.

Guys, that's a Sloppy Boys. Sloppy Boys movie is like The Purge. And it's the one night year where all nasty boys are nasty men. Yeah, sure. And it's media res. We don't explain what any of that means. You're just thrown right in. You have to catch up like Dune.

And we're like, quick, to the casino. To the snail casino. Yeah. Casino. Oh, no. I dropped my chips on my ass. Hey, let's eat clams casino raw. Raw. Out of my own ass.

Yeah, in this world, when you drop something, it goes up your ass. Gravity is such that anything dropped shall go down and then up. That's the first line of this pitch. Okay, in this world, when you drop something, it goes up your ass. Also, at the beginning of the movie,

there's a text scroll that's like eight minutes long. It's like, first of all, gravity. First of all. What you know about gravity is changing. Imagine you go to the movie theater, see a movie, the lights go down, and there's a text scroll, and the first sentence is, first of all. First of all.

It's acknowledging that there's too much to get through. There's too much. Okay, bear with me on this. It's taking sort of like an aggressive tone to like exasperate. All right, first of all. We don't have much time for this. This scroll's already too long. Yeah, we got a task rabbit to type this scroll.

I hope you're sitting down. Thank God you're all sitting down. We're not going to be shuffling all movie, are we? This is a movie where every time somebody drops something, it goes up their butt. Yes, it takes place in a universe where such is true. Such is true. Where gravity moves in a U shape.

Yeah. Right in front of you to right up the middle of you. Maybe it's called Nasty World, colon, such is true. Oh, no. Nasty World. Okay. Nasty World, boys become men. First of all, to put it

thusly. You're probably wondering about the title. All will be revealed in the hours to come. In the film within. The film within, my boy. Stick around after the scroll for a special treat. I'll be dying to film. The movie.

The movie you so hope to see. If you saw Star Wars and said, first of all, you're probably wondering about the title. Yes, yes. Hopefully we can explain most of the title to you in this episode. So the movie's called Nasty World, and for one night, a nasty boy can be a nasty man.

Yeah. I guess we'll have to define what the difference between nasty boy and nasty man is in the scroll as well. And the whole movie itself is just action, because anything else that needs to be said or explained is in the scroll. You'd think in Nasty World like nastiness is a given but on this one special

night the ante has been up Wait a minute, everyone should really be nasty in Nasty World. Well maybe this is a time when all the nastiness has been wiped away from Nasty World Oh yes That's good. Yes, a post-apocalyptic future Like the setting is Nasty world but in a time of

no nastiness but the time is whenever star wars took place yes the first ones all right well this is very fun i do want to get back to this uh as soon as possible but we're doing an episode today where we need to put out a poll so we got to get to that but then we'll revisit nasty world now we we like music sure that much is true great uh now when you do music it usually comes from a band or a person and that band or person might not be using their real name what we are doing here today is determining best band name or best artist name yeah band just is musician artist band sounds better when you say bet i you know yeah yeah we say best artist name and they think oh salvador dolly that's a good name yeah i think yeah exactly band just you know you know picasso oh picasso my? But how do we tweet it?

Do we say best band slash artist name? Maybe for the tweet, but for the title of the episode. Let's say band. But for the tweet. Okay, but did you guys pick bands? Because I have a band. Yeah. I have a band, but my runner's some runners up.

I've got ours. Okay, so let's say band for all of it, and we can talk about all of that stuff. Okay. Okay. runners up i've got ours okay but let's so let's say ban for all of it and we can talk about all of that stuff okay okay i'm i'm so i've got i have some good ones here i gotta just pull the trigger on one of these don't i yeah do you want to go first yeah let me go first because if you guys know which ones you're maybe i'll just do mine so i don't get uh so wait a second you don't even know what you're gonna say yet did you even prep for this podcast you don't even know what you're going to say yet? Did you even prep for this podcast?

Do you even care? Oh, Tim. Mike, is this from the heart or not? This is from the heart, but I also want to win. Win, win. All right. You have no chance I'm going to win. You ready?

Yeah. This, the best band, I don't have a clip, but maybe I can do a little, a little, oh, well, hold on. Wait, this will be good. Take us through it, Mike. Well... Milk it, baby. Yes, that's good.

That's good. When you think of band names, you associate, obviously, the band with the music. So that's a huge, huge thing. You also... With a lot of these bands, I was associating... A lot of metal bands, I was like, oh, I'm picturing the T-shirts. Like Iron Maiden. I'm on a big Iron Maiden T-shirt kick.

I want to get one soon. But I like the way they write Iron Maiden. I like the Eddie Skeleton guy. So it's really difficult to pull apart the name from the band. So I was trying to do just on its own sounds cool. There's a lot of bands who i hear i like the band name but then i'm like i don't know about uh what this like the music doesn't match up with the right the the name yeah yeah yeah which is always fun like tragically hip is a band where like that i

don't even particularly like that name but the music that they make that i haven't heard much of just doesn't like sound like it now i don't i just don't know it's tragically hip don't let go you got the music no that's new radicals fuck which i think is a bad name new radicals yeah i also kind of think beatles is a bad name i think people have made this argument before but yeah yeah it is very cheeky. The The Bands are tough. The The Bands. Yeah. There's a band called The The. Again, I don't know what they're called.

Well, I'll just say it. I'll just come out and say it, but I do have a number of runners up that I do want to get your opinions on. We'll get into that. I do too. Let me see if I can get this thing going. Hold on. It'll be a clue, but I need to use my Suri. Hey, Suri.

Suri Cruz? Take this part out. Maybe Jeff. I see a little silhouetto of a man. Scaramouche. Scaramouche. Will you do the Fandango? Yeah.

Thunderbolt and lightning. Very, very frightening me. Galileo. Galileo. Galileo. Galileo. I'm talking about Queen. I think Queen is a cool band name.

Yeah. I like the name that's just like, boom, one word. Boom. It's very cool. It's also like Queen, not King. A Queen is a little, a little obviously more feminine but like sort of owning that and making that the cool thing about it sure and then also just we've had a queen yeah only recently if we had a king and we don't like him we like the queen

we like it a queen i like that this band had a sort of a hiding in plain sight thing where freddie mercury's a uh an out gay man in an era where that really wasn't the thing and then the band's just flat out called queen and then like queen it's that same he's he's like a diva type of a queen you know yeah like and this again is tough because if their name was queen and it was a punk band i'd be like maybe that's not the best name but like the way they just presented that the whole band was presented it was like very lofty ideas. And anthemic. Anthemic, yes, exactly. Maximalist, yeah.

Yeah. And it just, the name fits so well. I think that's another big thing, the name fitting well with the type of music. I got to agree, Mike. As much as I was like, hey, this is about the name. Don't think about that other stuff. Yeah. I did.

You have to weigh, does it match the band? Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Because otherwise, you're just looking at a piece of paper with different uh or i did i don't know tim tim might disagree i think you're right queen that's for me but i it's a tough um what did you say jeff has to suit the band i was composing our tweet uh yeah i was saying that like as much as i was like this is only about the name only focus on the name i was like well some of these great names i don't think do a good

job of what a band name should do so i don't think it's a good name i'll just say it i'll just can i can i blow a runner a runner up sure yeah ten thousand maniacs oh that's exactly yeah that's a good one great fucking maybe what i meant when i meant uh when i was talking about tragically hip i think i was thinking You fire that shit up. It doesn't sound like 10,000 Maniacs. Yeah, that sounds like a punk band again. It's like 10,000 Quaaludes. Stop.

Can I go? Can it be my turn? Yeah, let's blast it out. Okay. This is a very good example of band name match band music. Okay. Band name match band music, yes. Band name match band music.

Now, a band name should make you feel something, yes? It should give you an idea of the band's music. It should give you an idea of what they stand for, maybe. Could be good. If the band pumps you up, it should give you an idea of what they stand for, maybe. Mmm. Could be good. If the band pumps you up, it should pump you up.

Mm-hmm. And I think there's no better example of this. Just listen to it on the ears. There's no more fucking badass name than... Ooh. Oh, yeah. Oh, baby. Rage Against the Machine. Yeah, that's a that's a good wow because they really did they just it's like the log line of the band right there we here's what it's very log liney and

here's the thing i was looking at other band names i guarantee you tim didn't pick any of these but all the emo e bands that are phrases like at the drive-in or whatever i don't generally like a long band name a phrase band name i don't go in for that the starting line and all that shit i don't do it rage against the machine what are you gonna say to that rage shortens down a rage against machine shortens down to a cool is down to rage which is cool uh yeah but jeff what about taking back sunday yeah do you mean take right i take it all back taking i'm going to a taking show taking uh even blink blink 182 just blink the dead the stones um i remember when i worked on gene simmons reality show family jewels on amc networks uh i'm sorry

and arts and entertainment oh he said you need a short name like kiss and he said led zeppelin uh everybody listened to led zeppelin they just said zep so it's good to be concise maybe like you know you guys are in the sloppy boys that's great you guys could just be like slop for example well yeah i mean people just do call us the slops sometimes go to the slop show but you wouldn't know that anymore would you jeff or give a shit no i'd give a shit i don't even seem to be even involved at this point it's true i am not canonically involved at this time he's not involved and he's barely evolved in terms of his emotional intelligence. His E-L-E-Q.

The way you make us feel, Jeff, you're terrible. Alright, I like that one, Jeff. Well, to bring it back to the pod because the pod's not going to be affected by the band stuff. The pod is mod. Rage Against the Machine is my vote, Tim. That's a very good one. Does it all fit? It fits. Does it fit on the tweet? That one, too, they could be there obviously like uh their music fits the the name well but like that could be a

terrible band name for anyone else like if you name yourself that you really have to like live up to it or else you're like easy to fall short of a name like that yeah Yeah. I love it. Tim, you are up, my main man. Well, let me ask you this. Did somebody mention a band's name, like the band's name should really fit the band? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That came up twice. Now, what if someone said it should also just,

hey, it's got to sound cool, right? Oh, yeah. I agree. So then here's what I would ask. Jeff hit the track. Hmm. I guess what I would ask is what if there were a band that chose their name merely because it was cool sounding?

Sure, it's anian prayer from old folklore but let's just say that the name meant a spirit of a deceased person who bestows benefits on the one responsible for his burial someone who is gratitude from beyond i see where you're going and let's say that oh that first for a while we're saying then let's just say that it fits the imagery of the band the bertha skulls and the roses and stuff but let's say that in 1995 the central figure of this band the band the band's heart and soul passes away and then the band continues. The music continues without him.

And then this deceased person has their legacy carried on for ages and ages by people who are celebrating that who hath not no longer continues to live. Nice. And let's just say the band is a Grateful folks grateful dead good name good name good name pretty cool though right it just it's a cool sounding but dead is a little scary grateful is a little hippie grateful dead fits but then did it took on like i think the

with jerry dead the bit it makes more sense it's cool yeah tim that's an artful juxtaposition that's very nice you have grateful that's one thing oh that sounds positive dead a little scary but you put them to so that's two different things and it creates a third thing in the mind the sum has become better better on their own yeah the parts do not equal. Yeah. What has the sum, the sum, the sum of what's to come.

Sum 41. Sum 41. We should have said sum 41. They just broke up. No. Just like us. They announced that this tour

is going to be their final tour. Ooh. The Grateful Dead is one of those ones. Oh, was there something, Tim, where they somebody just like opened up a book and pointed to something and that was the name

is that yeah because they were uh they were called the warlocks and then warlocks were another band so uh according to phil lesh jerry picked up uh encyclopedia britannica whipped it open or the dictionary whipped it open, and said, hey man, how about the Grateful Dead? He opened it up, and after about 23 tries, they landed on Grateful Dead. They went and got a different book? They're one of those bands,

before I really knew what their sound was like, I would see the imagery and stuff and think they were a much more metal-y band or something. But as we know, they don't like metal. No heavy metal, man. Yeah, they told Blues Traveler

not to play heavy metal when they were opening for them. No heavy metal. That's good. I'm going to run through my... Oh, yeah, this is good. My other ones. Pavement, I think, is a cool name oh yeah i like that too

just uh it's a weird word it's such an innocuous thing but it's hard and it's you move on sonic youth and now i don't really ever listen to sonic youth but that's okay that's okay wu-tang clan i think is so cool sure uh guns and roses metall' Roses, Metallica. A band called Camper Van Beethoven. You ever heard of them? Oh, yeah. Take the skinheads bowling. Yeah, that's just a funny name. Daft Punk, I think, is cool.

And for solo artists, Most Def, I always thought was a cool name. Oh, yeah. And there's a funny thing. I wrote this down. Do you guys know Izzy Stradlin? He was one of the guitar players of Guns N' Roses. this down do you guys know izzy stradlin he was the one of the guitar players of guns and roses he had a side project that my my neighbor or somebody brought over hit the cd of his side project and my dad saw it and couldn't get enough he thought it was the funniest name

it's uh izzy stradlin and the juju hounds and my dad was like the juju hounds what is this that's great he He loved it. Because he also liked the candy Juju Bees. Oh, sure. Who doesn't? So maybe that was a big part of it. They ruin your teeth. Yeah.

Hey, speaking of most F, as a rapper name, the original Snoop Doggy Dog is a great moniker. Yeah. That is cool because it's like, you feel like it's silly, kind of. And it's got a sing-songy quality even just in the name. Like, it tells you a lot, you know? I bet that helped with its popularity because it's like a name where it's like not, it's a welcoming name. It's a welcoming name. And then also, it's smart to just put your name in the song, like to have the chorus be Snoop Doggy.

Plus, everyone likes Snoopy. That'd be funny if Dr. Dre went by Charlie Brown. Remember, didn't you look up that, like, why is he called Snoop? Well, according to Wikipedia, his resemblance to and affinity for the penis character. And affinity for.

He likes Snoopy. I like Snoopy, man. That's not a good Snoop impression. There's an Instagram account that posts daily Snoopy videos, and there's some very funny ones where Snoopy is just, he's very fun to watch when he's by himself. Yeah. He's a funny comedy character.

He really is, but just on his own, he'll be like, there was one I think I shared where he's eating dinner on a plane and just being all fancy, like unpacking dinner. Or then it'll be like him getting into bed with an ice cream sundae and watching TV. And it's just like he's so happy. I love when he's... I haven't seen the dinner one you're talking about on the plane.

But I can picture... You know when he does stuff where he kind of like his eyes close and he's got like sort of a snooty, like his nose sort of goes up in the air. Yeah, he looks up, he's being fancy. Like aloof. He also does funny things when like around the other kids too. As things are happening, he's just kind of goofing around in the back. He's more fun than the kids.

Charlie Brown, he sucks. Yeah, Charlie Brown's a dead beat. He's a dead beat. A dead weight, I mean to say. Timmy got some runners up. He's a dead beat he's a dead beat a dead weight I mean to say Timmy got some runners up he's a shithead you know I I would that I was so far and away with Grateful Dead but what was I thinking today I love uh the Flying Burrito Brothers that's a funny name oh yeah Graham Parsons the Flying Burrito that's a name I know but I don't know I couldn't tell you a single song yeah they don't really didn't really have any hits but like Graham Parsons is

more of an influence on cool people than actually having hits but then um i thought i i think it's cool that the biggest nerd band of all time is weezer and wheezing is sort of uh like a nerd would do with uh yeah if they had asthma or something like an inhaler or something um and then i just like i don't even know what a pogue is but i like the sound of the pogues oh yeah husker do i like the name of that i have no idea what type of music they do but uh they're good and you know what i like is uh i mean this is obvious that tim's gonna say this but the simplicity that they stayed the e street band it's so it's like they practiced on e street and then they were like we'll be the e street band and then cut forward like 50 years and they're like selling out SoFi

and it's like the E Street band. That's very charming. I like that the E Street band has, I mean, of course they are Bruce Springsteen's band, but they have a name. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street band. Like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Yeah. That's cool.

Ooh, the Heartbreakers. That's a cool name. Yeah. Ooh, what about the Modern Lovers? That's a good name. Good name. This is going to bring up... Honestly, unsung name. Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Pretty cool. Oh, yeah. Pretty good. Another one of mine. It almost was my pick. Parliament Funkadelic. Cool. Oh, Funkadelic.

Yeah, that's a good one. That's a good combo Parliament Funkadelic. Cool. Oh, Funkadelic, yeah, that's a good one. That's a good combo. Funkadelic. Solo artist Boz Skaggs almost made the cut. Born William Royce Skaggs. Warren Zevon's another good solo name. Yeah. The Zevon.

The Skaggs with a Z at the end of Skaggs, right? Just an S, just an S. Oh, Boz, Boz, B-O-Z. Z at the end of Boz, if that helps you. That does help. That's what I was thinking. I looked it up. I said, why is he called Boz?

And on Wikipedia it says, a classmate wanted to give Skaggs a weird nickname. This started out as Bozly, then Boswell, and Bosworth. The name was later shortened to Boz. As if Skaggs wasn't weird enough. There was, remember when Chris Gaines, who was the first, the guy who became Chris Gaines? Garth Brooks.

What a dumb name to go to. Garth Brooks is, whatever, country music name. And then Chris Gaines. Chris. Chris. Chris. I always wanted to be cool chris gaines so wait i mean now we love gains garth brooks is a country obviously chris gaines was supposed to be rock just just plain old rock i don't know he like had a swoopy like emo haircut kind of let's do that as a blowout the ch Chris Gaines album it's just one album let's do it because there's a behind the music that was supposed to be like

the launch of his whole thing and then they bailed on it oh as like a fake as like a persona it's on YouTube you can watch it's cheesy as hell yeah that's a good one let's do the Gaines man the Gaines man the Gaines man man I'm

really Garth Brooks is a guy that like my whole life i was like i hate this guy and then i sort of a couple years ago was like man it's weird i don't really get into singers or voices so much but he does have like a good voice that that gets a lot of emotion across like and i like that i got friends in no places places. And I started to come around on him being like, we all kind of ironically and then non-ironically would be listening to Garth Brooks. But then I watched his big fat two part Netflix documentary. And he's the phoniest, fakest fucker in the world.

He cries in every scene. And he's just like every he over performs he'll be like and then my daddy said to me that and and i always think back about that what my daddy said to me it makes sense because he was so popular and like timmy you gotta understand he's a storyteller but here's a cool thing about him. He became a family man, quit music, and was just a dad. For like,

that's where he was for like two decades. Wow. Oh, he became a family man. Peter. Stop! Peter, where is Stewie? Peter, where's Stewie? Is Stewie at school?

Luis, where am I? I'm the dog. I'm the dog. I'm the dog. Bentworth. Bosley. I think we might be having enough of the info. What do you think, Tim? Tweet it. You mean the data.

It should have been tweeted long ago. You tweeted it, right? He's right on that. Yes, of course I tweeted it. It has been tweeted. Okay, good. Are we getting any trolls? That's what I wanted to know. Okay, well, somebody says, I agree with Jeff. You don't know what Jeff said.

Somebody says, cake. Someone says, the only good thing about the Grateful Dead is their band name. Oh, come on now. That's not true. Miami Sound Machine. Oh, that's a good a prince daddy and the hyena goldhoff and steinstein hey violent femmes five for fighting uh chumbawamba chumbawamba pretty good uh the sloppy boys oh yeah the band you're not gonna say the bare naked is such a non-sexual way. Yeah.

Pit Pat. Sex Pistols. I had Sex Pistols and Scissor Sisters. Those are fun for me. Scissor Sisters. How about the for me. Scissor Sisters. How about the Ramones? That's cool. The Ramones use their real last names.

The Ramones. Is that their real last name? But aren't they not all related? Two of them, right? Aren't Johnny and Joey? And then the rest of them took like fake. Yeah, that's funny. Didi Ramone.

Squirrelnut Zippers. Joey Ramone. No, his name is Jeffrey Ross Hyman. Perfect. It's like, it's like being named Jeffrey version. John William Cummings. Are all of these going to be vaginal?

Yes. Yeah, I guess so um you just said squirrel that's it was skrillex is a interesting sounding word i like that yes skrillex given to him as a uh you know they were they're bullying him and they called him skrillex and he took it ran with it oh the oh really i always thought danger mouse danger mouse that's a fun one danger mouse yeah but it's like that's already something that's already a cartoon yeah a lot of things are references god guys this is really cool that the ramones all took that as their last name like their stage name so was that so where did it come from nobody has i don't know nobody's ramone they all have dorky names it's like if if the Strokes were all Julian Stroke.

Great job, Slopheads. Are there any rage songs about the time Zach DeLaRocca was out watching the L.A. Marathon and I saw him? As I was running? No. He was with his kids? He was with his kid and he was pointing at everyone saying something about them running? He might have written something about that with One Day as a Lion, his side project. Yeah, and the song's called a waste of time for me well i'm rolling

past rolling down the street by a marathon this guy's running past me like he's wearing sneakers like he's in a marathon uh i want to yeah we i think we talked about this i want to see them live hmm you just may. Will it happen? Will it happen for old Mike? Do you think that they peaked with Killing in the Name on their first album? No. Look, I love everything they made. I think Bulls on the Parade is cool.

I like it all. But Killing in the Name, it's almost like a titular title track. It's like, that song, that's that song. So few lyrics, so powerful. It just kind of repeats it a lot. Is that the, how do you do what you're told? That one? Rolling down Rodale.

Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me. It's. F off, I won't listen to you now. F off, I won't listen to you now. Yeah, something like that. Yeah, like that. It's got the same vibe. I won't listen to you now. Yeah, something like that. Something like that. It's got the same vibe. Those who die are justified. I'll tell you what.

I grew up with Evil Empire. Wait a second. I was saying the wrong song. Rolling Down Rodeo. That's the one I'd been playing. That was their intro music I played. Right. That's off Evil Empire.

Oh, that's Down Rodeo. And that's the next album. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So here I am singing the praises of killing in the name and saying it's their best song when the lyrics i say are not even that song so wait how does killing in the name of battle yeah i know but what are the verses some of those that were the verses? Some of those that were, that's it. Some of those that were forces. Those who died were justified for whatever the past. That's why I'm getting mixed up.

You guys are singing two different songs, right? Yeah, because that's why. Killing in the name is about police. Fuck you, I won't do it to tell me. Cops used to be, it's saying that cops used to be Klan members. And vice versa. And then rolling down Rodeo with a shotgun. These people ain't seen a brown skinned man since your your grandparents bought one similar thought yes yes yeah well a lot of

their songs are similar thoughts they're very consistent message wise yeah because they have that mission statement in the in the name of the band so they have to stick right to it they can't just come out with a ballad and be like oh baby your blonde hair looks beautiful tonight. That would be so funny if they did anything besides political rap rock. Your beautiful blonde hair, fresh from the beauty parlor, is looking fine to me. I'm happy that I gave you that salon gift card for Valentine's Day two years ago.

I got the no expiration date. Hey, Zach, you gotta rhyme once in a while. Okay, okay. I'm rolling down one day with a shotgun. Yes, yes, he's getting it. It's a little much, but he's getting it. Shotgun bot one.

Well, there you have it. Oh, you know what? I was just thinking, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. Good name. It's got like a theme to it. I like that. To say nothing of the who. Alright, folks. Who are you?

And I guess Jeff is not in the band anymore, but still on the podcast. I'm still here, aren't I? You're still here. Mike, I'm here and I'm engaged with each and every one of you.

Who knows when that's going to fall away? I don't know. No, this is just a thing I got to do. This is for real. The podcast is for real. Yeah, the podcast is here to stay. It's not going to change. All right.

But me personally, I feel big changes coming deep within. Well, maybe that's, remember the one blowout we did with Terricard? Not Terricard. What's the... Astrology. Astrology, yes. There was things in the future for you. Yes, yes.
