Hot Tub Time Machine 1 it's good you would love it they know what I like they're like you would fucking love it Adam is not in that one I know cause he just said

you only do sequels that you weren't you only do sequels to movies you weren't in. So I was listening. Unlike when he told me he lived in Santa Cruz and you tried to get me on that, Scott. All right. We're talking a lot about what happened pre-show. I have to talk to our co-host whom I have not even introduced at this point. What other sequel have I been in?

I don't know. No, I'm saying they don't make sequels out of your movies oh i have to hop on to other sequels that's true that is true um you know him from what was the movie you did with jen westfeld just one of the guys what was it called just one of the Right, where you played a woman who... Big boobs. That's the one thing any of us know from that movie. And I was like, guys, it's me. It's called Guys, It's Me. Guys, It's Me, right.

This is my co-host, Scott. Hello. Hey. Introduce me now. You never introduced me. movie. Introduce me now. You never introduced me. Oh, across the tabal from me is

my co-host for the evening. This is... Oh, you know him from Comedy Bang Bang. You know him from also Comedy Bang Bang. And nothing else. And you know him as a purveyor

and tastemaker of modern... No, you know him from Mr. Show. You know him from Mr. Show. All right, fine. Purveyor, though. That sounds... I know what that word means. I was going to squeeze purveyor into Mr. Show, but then I started going in another direction,

and it stopped working out for me. Purveyor sounds like perverted. It sounds too much like perverted. Well, you could be a purveyor of perverted... Words that sound alike. Oh my gosh, I'm getting emotional. Words that sound alike even though they have different meanings,

they should mean the same thing. I don't understand. Don't you agree? No, no, no. Look, if there is a word that is too close to another word that has a bad meaning, Right. Just call it.

It means the same thing from now on. Like shoot and shit? Yes. From now on, shoot means shit. Like shit the gun? Yes, exactly. I said shoot to my grandfather once, I swear, and I remember he goes, I know what that means.

Really? Did you introduce me? You said I was from Mr. Show. Thank you. This is Scott Aukerman. Hey, Scott. This is Scott. Welcome to the show.

Did you want to say hi to anyone, Scott? I would like to say hello to my friends. I would like to say hello to my family. I would like to say hello to my family. I would like to say hello to my representation. I would like to say hello to Scott. Thank you. I would like to say hello to Todd. Thank you.

I would like to say hello to Cody. It's not Cody. It's Sam this time. It's Sam. I'd like to say hello to Sam. Every engineer is Cody to you? Did you think engineer and Cody meant the same thing? Did you, we just called them like Cody is a job title? His first name was engineer and his last name was Cody.

Excuse me. I would like to say hello to engineer Sam. Very good. You've said, you said hello to your representatives, but did you say hello to your whole team? I would like to say hello to my team. I would like to say hello to Scott's team. Thank you. They'll appreciate that. That is very nice. I'm sure they would.

I know some of them very well. Really? Whom do you know? I don't know. I don't. Okay. Okay. This is, of course, you talking you to me, which is the show that we tape very late when we have very groggy throats.

And this is no exception. Today is Memorial Day, or today was Memorial Day. We're taping this very late at night on Memorial Night. Well, it's 9 o'clock. Well, it's 9.15 at this point. You're right. Not to split hairs, but sorry, bro. And Engineer Sam was nice enough to come in on a holiday, and as is our guest.

And if you've never heard the show before, this is the show where we talk about the band U2. And we talk about what they mean to us. And we talk about them album by album, and we've tore through their entire discography, save for their one foray into Broadway, Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark, which will be coming up next week. How far into the book are you?

I finished it. I was going to give it to you last week because I'd finished it. Oh, you had already finished it? I read it. I was going to give it to you last week because I'd finished it. Oh, you had already finished it? I read it in one day. How many shits did it take you to finish that book? That was 27 shits in one day, of course. I'm like, well, I have like 100 more pages to go.

So 100 more shits. I have to shit 100 more times. You know, that's not good to do, but anyway. What's not good to do? Shit 100 times? Read on the toilet. Why? Why?

Because you're just sitting there. I don't know the reasons, but I know that- Is it bad to be on the toilet longer than 10 seconds? They think you're supposed to do it and leave. Yeah, 10 seconds. Any more than 10 seconds, it's kind of bragging. Nope. Hey, guess what I did today?

I sat on the toilet for 20 seconds. Well, it's a sign of leisure. It really is, because when we were cavemen, we didn't have time for that. We were fighting off saber-toothed tigers. Matter of fact, if you're on the toilet, and I will steal a joke from my act, for more than 10 minutes jiggling peanuts in your hand, that's definitely, you're showing off. for more than 10 minutes jiggling peanuts in your hand, that's definitely, you're showing off.

Our guest, I don't want to introduce him yet, but he has a big jiggling peanuts chunk, which I've seen for probably 15 years at this point. No? How long? I would say, well, 10 years. 10 years. But I only did it a little. Well, who cares?

Who cares? Who cares? It's a good bit. Todd's right, though. You're not supposed to sit there for very long, from what I understand. My legs get, they fall asleep if I'm on that toilet too long. Actually, it's my butt. My butt area.

Just tonight, my son said to me, hey, you know, sometimes when I'm sitting on the toilet for too long, my legs start hurting. Oh, he's really on there for a while. Yeah. Jesus. My brother went when he was little. We still tease him.

We teased him for a long time. He had red marks. On the back of his legs? No, run here. Like, I don't know how to explain this to a listener. One here and one here. On his thigh? On his thigh.

On his upper thigh? From his arms. He would just sit there in the toilet forever. And the doctor, he figured it out. He was just sitting there. We're like, oh, gross. He had like permanent marks? Wait, how did the doctor figure it out i don't you know how many years ago was it he was around 13 at the time but somehow they figured it out so his doctor's like

you have red marks on your legs i don't know if the doctor figured out i think my mom might have figured it out so did they they had indentations that they fit his elbows into like cinderella and the glass slipper. Was he reading or just sitting there? I don't know what he would do. Or sitting there. Maybe because it was the only time he got privacy with four brothers, so maybe he went into the bathroom

and just hung out for a while. It doesn't sound like a bad life. Yeah. You know what I mean? So you're listening to you talking U2 to me, and my apologies for clearing my throat so often, but so we tore through their discography. Album? listening to you talking you too to me and uh my apologies for clearing my throat so often but um so we we tore through their discography album by album we went through all of it all of it all of

it 100 save for our first episode where we tore through three albums yes but we made up for it by not talking about that their albums on three more episodes. How many albums in total do they have? Studio records? If I had to guess, 126. 126. You're right. Are you serious? Yeah. They have a ton of records.

We're here with a guest, by the way. He doesn't know anything about music, so this will be a fun show. Let me explain. Let me just say I don't sound like an idiot. I appreciate music. I'm not a moron, but I don't know anything about it so this will this will be a fun show let me explain let me just say i don't sound like an idiot i appreciate music i'm not a moron but i don't know anything about it has it been like your whole life was like that or did you go through a period where you were really into music well i mean i i i like listening to music and i definitely like music from all over the place whether i you know like with satellite radio you can like different countries do you mean or music like i love music of today.

Like, you know, some of the kids that work on my podcast are very young, so I always tell them what's good to listen to. So what was released today that you love? I wouldn't know the name of it, but it would be... So a song came out today, you're talking about. Not only today, I mean like, you know, within the last year. But I like country. I mean, I hate to from the hits of

you know those stations you were bragging about knowing something from today today nothing today within the last week what came out this week come on now I said I didn't know a lot I don't want people to sit at home already me and Adam talked about

Doug loves movies I know nothing about movies and that I don't... Doug loves movies. I do nothing about movies. And again, when I... This isn't a Doug loves movie situation. Oh, this isn't Doug loves movies? No, no. I don't think... It wasn't that we were on the same episode. I think I just listened to you on there a couple times and you were just like... And thought you were a dumb shit. You were just like, why? I don't want...

Why am I here? Why am... I don't care. I don't care. Well, have fun as long as they don't care. But as soon as Doug goes, oh my god, you don't know anything about movies, I go, you invited me. Yeah. You invited me. Don't try that. That is rude.

That is rude to do. Thank you. And I told him that. See, now we're going to be talking about a certain band here on this episode of you talking you two to me. And the fact that you, maybe they're your favorite band. Maybe they're not. Who knows?

Who cares? We're having fun. You know? We invited you. You're our guest. Thank you. And we will introduce you in just one second. So let me explain the situation before we introduce you.

Here's the deal. What's going on? We talk about you two exclusively on this show. Certainly we have side podcasts like I Love i love films of course i love i love films uh talking about turtle you pop in my stones right two's clues by the way we haven't done an episode of you pop in my stones should we do an episode i think it's time all right here it is hey welcome to you popping my stones this is your host scott hey this is scott hey what you know what i'm gonna say i i think i'm gonna say it first i think we're in a race to

say it first and i'm gonna win scott wait no scott i'm gonna say this before you say it. I'm going to say it. Hey, you popping my stones. Hey, that's been you popping my stones. Good episode. Not bad. That was a good one. I like that. Yeah, that was fun. You didn't get involved.

Well, we haven't introduced yet. So, surely. Yes. Sorry. Sorry to interrupt. Maybe later we can reopen you popping my' My Stones and include our guests. That would be great. I would love nothing more than to include our guest in another episode of You Poppin' My Stones.

That would be amazing. So we have a lot of side podcasts here, but we talk about the band U2 exclusively on this show. And we've talked about them and talked about them and talked about them. And let me see if I can get exactly what happened here. But lately on this show and my other show, Comedy Bang Bang, anytime we say the phrase, it's been a while, because that comes up a lot. Our guests, have you ever noticed how often you say, it's been a while? Someone says, hey, how long has it been since I've seen you?

And then someone says, it's been a while. says hey how long has it been since i've seen you and then someone says it's been a while okay that that happens a lot we we have started any time that that phrase is said on my show i would sing it like the hit song it's been a while i'd go it's been a while Okay, that is by a band called Stained. S-T-A-I-N-D. And I started doing it. Now I do it at home. It's been a while. Do you do it at home? Yes.

Our listeners do it. It's been a while. It's been a while. I am told that we're not actually singing the right melody. Oh, really? I knew what you meant. I knew what you meant. I knew what you meant. You know what I mean.

Okay. So we've said this so often that some listener said, hey, they should do a side podcast about the band Stained, and they should have comedian Todd Glass on the show and call it Stained Glass. It was a listener that came up with that? I thought it was you in the middle of the pod. Oh, maybe I'm getting this wrong. I don't know.

We'll never know. That much is certain. No one will ever know. But I do know that listeners have sent us fan art of comedian Todd Glass in stained glass form as the cover for this episode called Stained Glass. And they've requested it so much. We've talked about it on this show. Yeah. I don't know whether it was in response to a listener suggestion or whether it was us talking about it.

But we'll never know. But whatever the case, it got to be so popular and people wanted to hear this so bad that they have started hounding comedian Todd Glass on Twitter. They've started coming up to him. Have they really? Well, they came up to me. First, someone came up to me after a show, and then I noticed it on Twitter. And then somebody came up to me after a show with diligence.

They're like, so are you interested in doing it? I'm like, well, I don't know what it is. They're really holding your feet to the fire on this. Yeah, and obviously you interested in doing it? And I'm like, well, I don't know what it is, but like, they're really holding your feet to the fire on this. Yeah. And I, and I obviously, I swear,

here's what I go. I go, well, I felt like, wait, I don't want to commit to anything, but I go,

well, I thought it was a trap. Well, I said, I like those guys and whenever we do, we always have fun. So yeah,

I would do it. He goes, so if I tweeted him, are you sure? I go, uh, yeah, yeah.

Whoever that listener is, you are a godsend because it would not have happened without you. So did you hear about it through a fan before you heard about it through Scott? Yeah, I didn't hear it. I heard about it first from somebody come up to me after a show, and then it seemed like I was watching a few tweets about it. I'm like, oh, that's what that person at the show was talking about. That's what that means. Yeah, that happens a lot where you'll sometimes forget something we've talked about on the show.

For instance, I put out an episode of Comedy Bang Bang today that I'd recorded a mere week ago. Yeah. And I dared any fan to send me any picture of Chewbacca firing a laser. Because I couldn't remember him ever firing a laser in the movies. So he definitely fires. Of course he did. He has a crossbow or whatever it is where it fires lasers. But I awoke this morning to four pictures of Chewbacca firing a laser.

I'm like, why are people sending me this? This happens all the time. Why a crossbow if all it does is shoot lasers? That's my whole point. Is that your whole point? No. It's all he cares about. But I mean, if it's just going to shoot a laser, why the accoutrement?

You know? Like, why not just a stick? Why does it have to be even a gun? Just a stick, like a Harry Potter one. By the way, we've got to talk about Harry Potter. How would you put it into a holster if it was just a stick? Well, you can't put a stick in a holster. No, you can't. Come on. What's your fuck style it was just a stick you can't put a stick in a holster no you come on what's your fuck style by the way have you ever put a stick in a holster if it was this is it time to start a new podcast what's your fuck style all right

here we go new episode hey welcome to what's your fuck style i'm Style? I'm your host, Scott. This is Scott. And we're here talking about people's fuck styles. And hey, Scott, I meant to ask you, what's your fuck style? I like to go, it's called shereezen. Shereezen? Yep. Listen shereezen.

That's right. Very good. How about you, Scott? What's your fuck style? I like to go donkey, donkey, horse, horse. Sounds good. Yep. Hey, that's been What good how about you scott what's your fuck style i like to go donkey donkey horse horse sounds good yep hey that's been what's your fuck style good episode yeah that was tight well it was also informative well i mean that's the main issue with what's your fuck style is to inform people as to what people's fuck styles are absolutely certainly so i think that this is clear right this is an episode of you talking you too to me the the podcast where we talk exclusively about the music of you too yeah

this episode we're going to be talking about the band stained with our guest let me now introduce him he is a comedian extraordinaire he has a book coming out in less than a week on Tuesday. Is that correct? June 3rd. Yeah, on Tuesday. Is that Tuesday? Yeah. And it is called The Todd Glass Situation.

What is the subtitle? It's just that the name is enough. The name's enough. So it's called The Todd Glass Situation, subtitle, The Name is Enough. And what are we, HarperCollins? Simon and Schuster. How dare you? Did you meet those guys?

I did. What were they like? Simon and Schuster? I don't know if I met them, to be honest. Because it's Paul Simon. It's Paul Simon. And a lot of people don't know. Billy Schuster.

Billy Schuster, yeah. He had a different partner that was not Garfunkel in the book biz. And what were they like? I don't even know if they exist, do they? Of course not. I met some other people that worked for them, I bet. I don't think I met them. I was sweating profusely during the meeting.

Really, were you? They asked me if it was autobiographical. And you know, I was nervous to admit I didn't know what that meant. Oh. So I started sweating profusely to where they literally brought it, not over that one question but the whole concept of explaining i thought it would be interesting if they go is this book autobiographical and just autobiographical and just you're correcting me you don't even know

what it fucking means and had you had you already written it when they were asking you no we pitched it i i had a i guess they say a ghostwriter write it up with me because there was like a middle person that hired the ghostwriter. And then we went into- A lot of people involved in this transaction. For me to write a book, it takes three people besides me. But it's in my voice. I always say that because I had help, but by no means did I turn it over to someone else.

I was very- We talked about this. Basically, you just sat around talking and someone transcribed it. Exactly. You have a book. Anyway, it sounds great. It sounds relaxing. Hey, it is. You have a book. Anyway, it sounds great. It sounds relaxing. Hey, it is.

You know what? Not that I'm against that. Some people can go into therapy and do amazing things. I always think of the naysayer whenever I go something like, you know, the person, oh, I got a friend in therapy three times a week. He hasn't changed. Okay, that happens. But a lot of people.

He hasn't changed for the worse. You know what I mean? Who knows? That's the thing. He could be some fucking mental case if he doesn't go. But I know what they mean but that's the thing he could he could be some fucking mental case if he doesn't go but i know what they mean like i even see people i swear i see people that go by the way i'm pro i from the majority of my life overwhelmingly i have not been therapy a reason i say that is when i defend it it's not because i have been in therapy i i've gone at

times to untangle things and majority of my life not been in therapy a lot of people would say you should have gone way earlier uh yeah maybe yeah maybe that's true what an asshole i'm just saying a lot of people would say that i'm not saying i say it but what was a lot of people yeah the majority of people in the world we even going something about you were talking about therapy and how you're defending it so yeah you can untangle things and get to the bottom of things i've seen people make amazing progress but i've also seen people that are in therapy i go i want to go in with them once and go see from a place of love right what are you doing in here like from a genuine place of love go there this has been three years you know what exactly have you been examining yeah this person is not you know but what i was saying was when you sit down to write a book you you're not looking at it as it's going to be therapeutic for you you're just so i thought

it would probably be a good thing for everyone to do to have a is write your own book write your own book everyone has a twitter why doesn't everyone have a book yeah you learn a lot about yourself when you're not trying to put things together it just starts going you know you're like you go oh that's why i do that and it when it makes sense it fucking makes sense here's what everyone should do everyone should have their own book that is ghost written by someone else and everyone needs to ghost write at least one book and everyone should distribute that book via simon and schuster yes of course and it should just be available to anyone who wants to know more about you.

So it would make dating a lot easier. You know what I mean? If you're sitting there going, I don't know if I should date this person. Read their book. Read their book. It's that easy. But then they can lie.

The problem is if they write a book and they lie. No, they have to take a lie detector test on every fact in the book. That's a good idea. Yeah. A separate lie detector test per fact? Per fact, yes. Like a new, not even...

A new session. A new guy, new equipment. Yeah, it has to be a totally new guy. Per fact. By the way, it could be a woman as well, Adam. Okay, look. All right. I think you know and I know when I say a...

Did I say a man? You said a guy. Okay, when I say a... Did I say a man? You said a guy. A new guy. When I say guy, I mean person. Well, why don't you just say person? This is part of the sexist regime that I... Anyway, we talk about this a lot. Oh, my God.

Oh, I think... Again and again and again. What were you going to say? By the way, Todd Glass is here. No. After all that. Congratulations on the book. Thank you very much.

Congratulations. That's fantastic. I think it's... You just gave all that. Congratulations on the book. Thank you very much. Congratulations. That's fantastic. I think it's... You just gave me a copy, by the way. I cannot wait to read it. I will wait, because we have to do this show. Yes. I'm very...

You have me on bated breath here. Is that the right term? Sure. Because I don't know still... I know nothing about stained glass, so I'm like... Well, the band is stained. Stained. See, already I...

I love it. This is good. Perfect. Here's what we're going to do. Stained. See, already I... I love it. This is good. Perfect. Here's what we're going to do. But wait. Yeah. Before we start talking about the terrific band Stained... Yes.

There are a couple of things we didn't cover in the last episode. There are. We have to talk about some things. I'm glad you're here, Todd, for this. We have to cover uh there was an exciting cliffhanger last week uh because we talked about that's right billy joel at the hollywood bowl it was hollywood joel and he we talked about how he's doing the first of a three-night stand and the fans wanted to know are you gonna recap night two? Did you go?

Both Adam and I were there on night one, and we recapped it in great detail. Was it great? To the chagrin of many. No, people like it. Well, I got some nasty tweets about it. Was it great? Wait, you got some nasty tweets? Yeah. No, there were a lot of people.

Hyper sexual tweets there were people on the board who actually were saying this has caused me to investigate i don't know really anything about billy joel other than his oh that's great other than his hits this is they made a spotify playlist of every song that we talked about and people listen yeah people listen to the spotify playlist and we're saying oh my gosh i've never appreciated bill. What board are you talking about? The message boards. Oh, I don't look at those. Where on the earwolf?

People take the time to write up these messages to us and you don't even look at them? Not once. Well, look at it once. I would not know how to find that. Don't. Don't. I'll tell you why. Well, you might not.

Adam, you can do whatever you want. I don't mean to yell at you. But I look at Twitter and, you know, I don't, and I'm probably not on a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being obsessed with Twitter. I'm probably at about a 6. So I look at it a lot. Which means 8. But go ahead.

You're probably right. And then I will go through some emails that are forwarded to me. You're only reading emails that are forwarded to you. You're not reading emails people send you? No, no, no. I don't want to read any negative. Remember that next time you're emailing Todd. I know. No, no, no. I gotta go to a guy who's gonna forward you an email?

Not my personal emails. My personal account, I read all my emails. You have more than one account? Yeah, people from the podcast that can email me. Are you rich? Shut up. Why do I answer you and start sweating? I've known him so long Todd I will confirm

Todd is perspiring cause I start you know you stumble upon something it's like when I told you about my brother's arms you know the red marks you're like

where when did he get them who figured it out what doctor I'm like I swear to god I'm not lying but I didn't know

I was gonna to unleash an investigation I've known Todd for 20 years almost 19 actually this year and it's just a joy to talk to you. So back to, you don't need, I don't go read any of the sites.

I don't go to them. Once in a while, somebody from the podcast will go, hey, did you see? You don't need another place to drop by. So I think you're doing the right thing. By the way, I'm giving you. You're absolutely right. I just didn't know it existed. No, I'm giving you the nice people.

I'm sure there have been people who go, you know what? I don't really get that. Actually, we read poor reviews. Yeah, the iTunes reviews I've read. Those are hilarious. But no, there's actually a great community of people who are really enjoying the show. Oh, that's great. So they made Spotify playlists with the songs we talked about for the people that don't really know Billy Joel.

Yes, and some people are saying, you know what? I don't care about Billy Joel, but there's a lot of people who are saying they don't care about you too so it's just you know us having fun so in any case uh people want to know will they recap night two of hollywood joel yeah and i was not there but adam i was on your wife's Instagram, and I see a concert picture from night two of Hollywood Joel, and I go, I bet Adam is there. I'll be damned if Adam is not at the second fucking Billy Joel show. That was what was going through my head. Motherfucker. Mother, this guy.

This guy over here. He doesn't even bring up when we're talking about night one that he's going to night two. This is part of a two-night experience for Adam. And you know what? There's a third night coming up tomorrow night. He doesn't even talk about that. Did you get to meet him by any chance? Yeah.

I knew it. We didn't talk about that. You talked about that off air. Well, I had met him a while back because he did an episode. It's been a while. knew it we didn't talk about that you talked about that off air well i i didn't want to brag i had met him a while back because he did an episode it's been a while the greatest event did i say it's been a while no but i'm extrapolating um he did an episode of the greatest event in television history which is this adult swim show that you don't have to explain we all know what i was explaining to todd, we all know what your TV project is.

So I had met him then. Todd clearly had no idea. I know. So I had already met him, and he's super nice. But you did not talk on the show during the commercial break. Yeah. We talked about it. You went backstage.

Yeah. Met him. Yeah. And he showed you what? His penis? He was super nice. He said hello to everybody. He was really nice. I can't imagine about to go out to entertain. How many people

fit into the Hollywood Bowl? There's like 550. No. Let me finish. Million. I think it's like 5. We're probably wrong. I think it's more like 5,000 or something.

I don't know. I would imagine it's like 10,000. It's more than 5,000. It's more than 5,000. Do you think it's 10,000? I know what you're... I thought the same thing one opportunity I had to meet somebody

and I thought the same thing. Even though you do shows, we all, we're not like we don't get it, but the so close. Yeah. And it's this gigantic thing, and sometimes there's an orchestra, and there's like, and it's like, and then maybe 15 minutes

before you go on, you're like, hey, what's up? Yeah, that to me is always like, god damn it, you're 10 minutes or even 5 minutes away from having this larger than fucking life thing happen. And you're back here. Yeah. I guess it's... Same as everything else.

It's probably... I guess it's the same as if you're about to go do a set and you're talking to someone, you probably don't think twice about it, right? No. And the same thing with acting. You probably can go pretty close to jumping into a scene. I guess. But this just... You've been on your phone talking to your kids,

and you're, what, three minutes away from doing it? Yeah, yeah. You're talking to Adam here. I know. It's not like he's delving deep into a character or anything. No, but still, either is Billy Joel. He's not doing a character. No, he's just the lovable lad from Long Island.

Right. By the way, 17,376 seats. Wow. How many? 17,370 what? Six. That's a lot, right? Yes.

I didn't think it was that many. And he's doing three nights. Now, sure, there's people like Adam who are repeating, so it's not like he's playing to 51,000 different people. But there's some overlap there is what I'm trying to say. He's probably at like 51,000 different people. Yeah. But, you know, there's some overlap there is what I'm trying to say. He's probably at like 40,000. Yeah, we get what you're trying to say.

So are you not, can you, do you not want to say what he let you look at? Let me look at? He let you look at. Oh, the set list. There we go. Yeah, yeah. I didn't want to tell your story for you.

But I didn't really want to look at it because I didn't want to go into the concert knowing the order of the thing. That's something that we haven't talked about on this show yet. All the times we've seen you two, Doug Benson I've been to two shows with. One we'll talk about on this program tonight. Doug likes to look at set lists of previous concerts in the tour to know what to expect. Oh, yeah, that's a bummer to do. I've done that, and it's a bummer.

I don't like that. Yeah, because it makes the night seem less special. It seems a little routine because you already kind of know the flow. Usually the basic framework of a tour is the same, and they just switch things out. They improvise throughout it. Todd, what do you like to do? It would be tempting to want to look at it,

but I think I would probably not. Which means you would. No, I don't think I would. Because then if he didn't do a song, then you give up. If there's one song you want him to do and you know they're not, there goes your hope.

Well, that's the thing. So I did not look at the Billy Joel set lists from other, like, the Brooklyn shows or anything like that. So I was just so pleasantly surprised with it. I did take a look at the set list from Night 2, which you were at. Do you want to talk about that? Yeah. Let me see if I – I think I took a picture of a set list.

Let me see here. By the way, you're listening to Let Me Find This. You know, I was listening to Stern talk about Billy Joel a lot in the last two weeks. And that, it's funny that you guys went because I thought I'd really like to, I don't want to see. We've got one more night tomorrow night. I can't, I have my podcast and I don't cancel that for anything. Plus, I wouldn't want to go unless I was, you know, it sounds so lazy, but you know, like, unless somebody else had tickets and it was easy. We should go to something sometime. I would, you know what? We unless somebody else had tickets and it was easy. Yeah, friends, we should go to something sometime.

I would, you know what? I think, you know, we have never really gone out anywhere. I've been to your house a few times. There's one thing I did with you outside of, you know, your wedding. That was fun. Yes. I enjoyed seeing you. That was at a great, I give you, you got it with your wedding.

Oh, by the way, that's very, I don't, you, your wedding, you got it. I got it. Where you had it. Yeah, where you got it i got it yeah where you had it uh the the the atmosphere it was warm uh the music there was like the places that you didn't you could sit anywhere you want you i would find myself with one group having a good time then i'd move to another we were talking about that today what is your preference on the seating at weddings do you like to sit wherever you want or do you like it i will i I will tell you that I get some people want to do the traditional things, and I get that you're getting married and you have to sometimes make compromises.

But I will make this, try to make it 30 seconds if that's possible. Sure. Give Adam some time to find his thing. Thank God you're here. Even if money had nothing to do with it, because I went to my friend Katie's. Let's pretend money has nothing to do with it. Nothing to do with it. Set up stations you know no stations could sound like it sounds you know poor but no set up stations all night when people get into the room have tables set no seating arrangements

you know no seating arrangements have tables everywhere um and start the fucking party when they did some traditions with katie's wedding like they went for the first time ever and they brought them in and then they go hey let's kick this thing off and and they just started it was like a 10-piece swing band they started playing people started dancing this 1995 by the way no oh no why do you have to fucking say that like that like that wouldn't be cool if it was no i love swing music when you're when there's when there's five horns in a band and there's a they know what they're doing, it was fucking electric. It was unbelievable.

And there was food stations all night long. What do you mean by food stations? Okay, in one corner there would be someone making maybe whatever it was. Snow cones. That's my cackle that only comes out with... No, like whatever. It could be some Thai type of food or carving, you know, some sort of roast beef or... And then hors d'oeuvres going around, but like...

I have no idea what you guys are talking about. I'm talking about the ideal wedding. You've been looking for your goddamn thing. Yeah. I don't like when they make... I completely zoned out. Zoned out, yeah. We're talking about weddings and we're talking about food and seating around.

Let me tell you one thing. This maybe will get to the point quicker. You know what? You don't have to tell me you're going to tell me something. Just tell me. We're talking about weddings, and we're talking about food and seating. Let me tell you one thing. This maybe will get to the point quicker. You know what? You don't have to tell me you're going to tell me something. Just tell me. You're right. I think a lot of people go to weddings, and not because they're bad or they're trying to bore everyone to death. They go to weddings, and there are certain things that bore them.

And then when they do their own wedding, they fucking forget about it. Like what? You know, when people are taking the pictures and they have to wait and you wait and you wait and you wait and you wait and you wait and then they serve dinner. By the time the music starts, you lost the momentum. So like I said, you know, when they come in, start the fun right away. And then if there's food stations, no one wants to sit down. They're excited and eat a, you know, eat a whole meal.

I don't perceive. Just have food all night. Have little food going around all night. Shit guns. I went to one wedding where, first of all, it was in one place, but it was in four locations at the place. In every location you went, just a new type of food was unveiled. And I actually was at one wedding yesterday where, yeah, people were taking the pictures,

but it was cocktail hour, and they immediately started passing around trays of drinks. The minute it was like, I do, I pronounce this person, everyone sat down in one area, started passing out drinks everywhere, and the food started coming out. No one even noticed that people were taking the pictures. Right, that's the way to do it. An hour later, after the pictures were done,

we were just all enjoying ourselves. All of a sudden, the dancing starts down below in the different location. We go down there, and then there's even more food. See that? And, you know. I'm going to say one more thing. All right.

And I think there's a lot of shit that wedding planners— You don't have to point at me, by the way. I'm sorry. I think there's a lot of shit that wedding planners— You're getting very antagonistic here. Wedding planners forget to ask that they could bypass a lot of boring shit. You ask the party, you know, we can cut the song when you dance. If you want to do that tradition and it's a three-minute song,

a lot of people like to give like a 50-second version, a minute version. I edited my version down, by the way. Yeah, and that. Have someone on the speeches. If you're at a wedding and you said to someone, listen, speeches can, you know, I'm not talking about someone should be two minutes and they do three. There's been people gone 12, 13 minutes.

You know, we can do something like the old Tonight Show. I'm making this up, but it would fucking work where we bring in a little music and if the person's making a speech, because... Like on the Academy Awards

where all of a sudden you start playing them off. Hey, what would happen if you were... People start talking quickly. If you were making a speech and you heard it come in soft, when you hear the music,

you have another 45 seconds even. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Soft, soft. Also, a huge teleprompter saying wrap it up. Hey, I'm serious. And just start the fucking party. Stop making people wait all the time, you know, but anyway.

Sounds like you just want to go to parties. You don't want to go to weddings. Well, you're putting a lot of money into something that could be fucking a lot more fun and, you know. I've been to so many weddings where the ceremony itself is so fucking long and boring. I went to a two-hour wedding once. Boy. Two hours? Ceremony, two hours.

Why? Is it deeply religious? Yes. Yeah. And those take a long time. Two different types of religions that they had to do both. You know what I did? I went to my nephew's bar mitzvah a year ago,

and I realized, now look, I wasn't in the close group. I had my own in the back. I went by myself. My rest of my time was back in Philly. You sound like a loner. Yeah, no one went with me anyway. Were you wearing a leather jacket? My girlfriend was out of town.

That's what I told everybody. But anyway, so- Read his book, by the way, for more stories like that. It was so boring. It was so boring. Not because, you know, it just was boring. And I realized, oh my God, I'm an adult. Nobody knows I made that.

I was proud that I went. It means a lot. I don't see them a lot, but they'll remember. You went to this. You went to a I made the I was proud that I went it means a lot I don't see them a lot but they'll remember you went to this you went to a wedding and I was glad that I went it was like

I could have made an excuse and not gone but I went but while they were in the middle of the ceremony guess what I did I went out to my car turned the air on and fucking drank

why do I have to say fucking and finished my coffee and stayed in there for about 35 minutes and then I came back no one knew I left no one knew what am I sitting in there killing myself for?

Yeah. I want to pour it out of my mind. I want to knife myself to death. No, just you being there was enough. Yeah, and then I went to the party afterwards. People should do that at weddings. They should give you an option for, first of all, people should have drive-through weddings, like a drive-in movie.

Yeah. You know what I mean? Where people can sit in their car, they can turn on the radio to a certain station, hear the wedding if they want to. Yeah. But sit in the nice air conditioning can turn on the radio to a certain station, hear the wedding if they want to. Yep. But sit in the nice air conditioning. Yep. You know what I mean?

And the movie screen has the wedding on it because the wedding is taking place actually behind them. Yeah, exactly. And that way they could sneak up on you and surprise you and be like, tap, tap, tap. And put their penis on your shoulder. Exactly, if they wanted to. And it's a fun thing to do it around. I will say, our wedding, 20 minutes. In and out.

20 minutes. That's the way to do it. I don't even know how... Ours was kind of short, wasn't it? Yours was... Ours was good, right? It was probably about 20 minutes. Everyone had a good time at ours.

It was great. Yeah. It was great. Yeah, it was fantastic. It was. It was a lot of fun. We're getting divorced, by the way. Did I tell you that?

Oh, I never liked her. And I didn't want to tell you that, but she's a real pile of shit. Look, we have to take a break before we get to our Billy Joel recap. Okay. All right? So let's take a break. What about the thing I'm here for?

Yeah, we're doing it. We're in the middle of it. Oh, no, really? Todd, this podcast is over three hours long. Don't worry. I have nowhere to go, unfortunately. Wait, is this really the stained part of it? This is stained glass. We're in the middle of it. I didn't know that. Yeah, we're doing it. This is what this is. Do you realize that stained is Billy Joel?

No. Yeah, it's all the same thing. They're both the same. All right, we're going to find out. Okay, we're going to take a break. When we come back, we will have more you two on you talking you two to me hey are you talking you two to me you're talking you two to me um bono himself knows making trips to the post office is becoming a thing of the past.

Sure. It's stained glass. Well, this is every- Then people wouldn't know where to find it. Every one of, I don't know if you know this, Adam, but every one of these episodes has a different title. No, I know, but the title of the podcast itself could be stained glass. It could be stained glass, but then, yeah, it would just be one episode of a podcast and it would have no one listening to it. It would just have awesome art for it.

Oh, man. Yeah, we have some – someone made the aforementioned stained glass portrait of our guest comedian Todd Glass. But if you want to make any kind of stained inspired fan art for us, that would be great. Put it in the forums and Adam will maybe look at it one time. Show me. Just tell me where to go, Scott. Just tell me where to go. How hard could it be?

You said earlier, you're like, how am I supposed to find this? Well, yeah, I mean, I don't know where the message boards for this podcast are. If you had to take a fucking flying guess, where do you think? On the Earwolf website? There you go. But I didn't know there were message boards there. Well, guess what? There are.

Yes. Great. We're here with Todd Glass. Great. After all that. Great. I'm very good. Whoop-dee-doo.

Todd is the author of The Todd Glass Situation, a great book that is in stores this Tuesday. People should get it. And I just got a copy. Haven't read it yet. I got a good review in the New York Times. Really? What did they say? Oh, that's terrific. I'm very excited.

You know what? I don't want to read it, but it was nice. Mm-hmm. Okay. What about one quote? It said I was brilliant. Brilliant? It said you were brilliant or the book is brilliant now that i think about it i'm not sure those motherfuckers what would make you feel better

if the if they said the book was brilliant but they said todd is not that great somehow this jackass did a brilliant todd brilliant comedian his book is not so hot no that would be horrible that happens where people go you know out of this musician, as brilliant as they are, we were very disappointed in their new, so no, I wouldn't like that at all. Right. I don't know. Why do I answer you so seriously? After I've watched you drag Adam to the ringer over there about that site that he doesn't

know how to find. All right. how to find um all right we gotta get to it because people are so ready to hear about this set list that adam has been looking for for the past 45 minutes well we had our whole wedding dissertation um okay well should i just say the the songs that were different from the previous do whatever you want this is your show wanted me to i didn't i didn't want you to do whatever you want this is your show too you wanted me to I didn't want you to do anything you said ooh ooh

I gotta find this list this is play the tape did he do the one about the sea the fisherman the fisherman I know I don't know a lot

so don't make fun of me whenever I reference songs I don't give a fuck if you know what it is that's good enough and there should be no jokes being made the fact is that for a million bucks for a million dollars not as a joke if i said to you what's that song it's about fishermen you'd win the million dollars right

no what are you talking about billy what then why were you looking at me like that i got nervous maybe i pre-put my boxing gloves on what are you talking about a song about a fisherman yeah he's singing about downeasteraster Alexa? Yes. Right, that song. Is that, how's that go? Give me a line so I know it's the right song. It's about the ship. I can find it.

It's about the fishermen that they go out. Yeah, yeah, that's the right song. Did he do that song by any chance? No. No. Let's play a little bit of the Downeaster Alexa. Well, my point is that I really like that song. Can I tell you what I do with this song in my house?

Okay. I play it, and I put more reverb in it for some reason. Really? This has a lot of reverb. It already has a lot of reverb, but I go, you know what?

If he thought it should have reverb, then maybe I could play it with more. What are you talking about? How do you play it with more reverb? I have a PA at my... You said you're not into music. Let me explain something. For someone that's not into music, I do...

What are you talking about? You put more reverb on it because you think... On the Downeaster Alexa? Because you think he put some on and he would want more? No, I was half kidding. He put the appropriate amount on. Which is a lot. Hey, did you ever hear a band do a song they did 10 years ago

and they pick up the pace of it a little more 10 years later? Well, maybe they wanted more reverb. I was kidding in the way I said it, but I do it with a lot of songs. I have like, in my backyard, I have a PA. So unlike if it was just a stereo, you wouldn't have, you know, on your iPad, you wouldn't have, on your iPad,

you wouldn't be able to wear your iPhone. You wouldn't be able to mess around with the sound quality. You wouldn't be able to check the reverb. I have more reverb. As much as I'm not into music, I do like doing a lot of things. Like, sometimes when I have a party at my house, I'll just play music, but I will hire a drummer. And let me tell you something. It's un-fucking-believable.

No one understands it. Just a percussionist to add to the music. To add to the, you put the speakers on either side of him because he's got to really hear the music. And he plays the drums. And it's, it's unbelievable. Wait, he plays drums just along with the music? Along with the pre-existing. No, no, he doesn't play along with the music.

He just plays drums. He plays something separately. No, no, he plays something separately. So everyone goes insane and leaves? No, he plays along. You know, drummers can find the beat. Good drummers find the beat. Wait, wait, wait, hold on.

Is this an episode of Good Drummers? No, I don't know why I find the beat. Wait, wait, wait. Hold on. Is this an episode of Good Drummers? No, I don't know why I brought it up. Okay, here we go. Hold on. So I play this song. Hey, welcome to an episode of Good Drummers. I'm your host, Scott. Hey, this is Scott.

And we have a guest here, Todd. Todd's talking about one thing good drummers do. Well, they can find the beat in a song, and you hire them to play at a party for $100, and they'll play for, you know, all night long. Great. A hundred bucks? 150.

No, it's a hundred I pay. You get a good drummer for a hundred bucks? Well, one who knows how to find the beat. Is that the end of the episode? Yeah, I think it is. Well, I wanted to add more

before we go to break. Oh, no, we haven't gone to the end. Go ahead, add more. Did you genuinely think that a hundred, did you think it would be more than a hundred dollars?

I thought it would be more than a hundred. Yeah, probably. No, you get a guy, you get someone that plays drums, did you think it would be more than $100? I thought it would be more than $100. Yeah, probably. No, you get someone that plays drums, you know, and they're a younger person, $100 to go in there for a... So they're a younger person. Well, I don't think you're going to get a 50-year-old guy to come into your backyard and fucking play drums. By that time, he's probably miserable. But who knows?

But, yeah, you get some people for $100 to come and play drums. You said $150 earlier. You know what? It depends how long they're playing. Okay. For my podcast, for two hours, I get guys for $50. They'll come in for two hours and play. That's okay for two hours at a party.

So do they play all night, or is it just for a couple of hours? Usually, I wait. I let the music play for a while, and then maybe at around midnight. Around midnight, you bring a drummer in? What do your neighbors think of you? You know what That's why I don't want to move I have never had any complaints

But I do have a I have a I took two of my garages And then I How many garages do you have? You know it's weird I have a duplex Two of my garages

Everything I say Okay I have a duplex There is nothing about your place That doesn't sound crazy Okay Yes I have a duplex. There is nothing about your place that doesn't sound crazy. Or your lifestyle. Or your parties. This is all going to make sense. Where the drummers play along with recorded music.

This is all going to make sense in a second. I have a duplex. I rent the upstairs out, but I don't give them the garages. I give them a little bit of one garage. Why aren't you giving them the garages? They pay less. Cars can't go into the backyard anyway because I cut it off

because I didn't want cars in my backyard. It's like one of those duplexes where you used to have to drive sort of into the backyard. So we don't use the garages. Two of them, I gutted and I'll put the music in there. So it baffles it from the neighbors a little bit.

You know, I took the garage doors off and I made it like this sort of outdoor room. So I put them in there. But yeah, the drum it's it's by the time they start when they start it's very hard to get them to start because people are into it it's just people will start like dancing and they'll do because they you know what happens they start dancing around the drummer like it's the band he creates this sort of you know this just bass and this live element of it this sounds to me like you're very into music. I'm into, yeah, I'm into, I don't know a lot about music, the facts of it, but I'm into

what music does. I love projecting videos on the wall in my backyard and every so often like, you know, like videos. What videos? Videos. It could be some weird song I find on YouTube, like an old, it could be something progressive. It could be like, there's some Tom Jones on there singing some song like from 1978. It looks like it's from another era.

So in the middle of the night. It's from 1978. Yeah, right. But it looks older than that even. You think, what's it like the 50s? Wait, I thought this was from 1978. This looks like it's from 1973. Listen, you motherfucker.

By the way, this has been an episode of Good Drummers. Oh, that was a good ep I like what music can do I'm not into music but also another thing where I'm into music for my shows when I have when I do my live show I stopped having a three person act I bring one comedian with me and then sometimes I'll have music open up the show

because it's extremely powerful so I'm I have a lot of respect for music and it's unbelievable what it can do, the emotion it can get out of you, but I just don't know about musicians. What is your favorite song? I don't have a favorite song. Okay.

When you walk through a storm. I love that song. No, my music taste is so fucking all over the place. It seems like you appreciate all music. Yes. Yeah, whatever. So you like little snatches here and there of... I think the best music you can play for a wedding or for a party, and by the way, not

what I fucking think. I don't give a fuck what age it is. I don't care. And by the way, I've proven this many times to have people go, you're right. Like someone was playing music and I go, put this on. I guarantee it. They're like, no. All over the place to keep people energetic and and and uh and having a good time you gotta all of a sudden play some weird fucking disco song then play something progressive then play

you gotta go all over the place then play some weird irish song see now and people at my parties are people have a good fucking time this wedding i I was at, they were playing modern songs, and then all of a sudden to try to get older people into it, they started playing stuff from the 50s. They were bouncing around eras, and most people were just into the modern songs, even the older people. Really?

They were dancing along to the modern stuff because it's the most energetic stuff. People were saying, well, I don't know that you need to do this medley of stuff from the 50s was it for like the parents and stuff that's what ostensibly it was for but even the parents were just like i'd rather just dance to blurred lines i remember doing that at our wedding too we would throw in like uh ancient kind of chubby checkers the twist tribal chanting yeah sorry i got in the way of it. Thanks for stepping on that hilarious joke. Well, you know, I mean, if you're going to sit there not getting it out.

Okay, can I just go through the fucking set list? Yes, please. So he played My Life, which he opened with- We talked about it last week. He did not play on the night that we were there. He played, he opened again with Miami 2017, and then My Life. And then he played Summer Highland Falls.

My Life. Which was great. And then he played Summer Highland Falls. My Life. Which was great. And then what's the next? Oh, you know what he played that was really cool? Because it's not like one of the big singles. It was Sleeping With The Television On. Can we hear a little bit of Sleeping? I was so excited when he played this song.

With The television on. From my favorite Billy Joel album, Glass Houses. Let's hear a little bit of sleeping with the television on. Good song. Put some more reverb in it. I love, by the way, Todd, that you have a PA in your backyard. How often are you on that thing? Oh, it's the best.

We've talked about it a lot, that if any bus you're on or anything like that, you just love to grab a mic. I'm eased up on it a little bit, but yes, in the backyard, okay, okay 90 of the time i'm not on it for a party but there are times and this wedding i keep i hate to keep talking about this wedding i was at but um i just got back from it it's memorial day but um at the from the rehearsal dinner everyone was wasted and uh we all got on these buses to go back to the hotel and the groom got on the mic and it reminded me of you because he got on the mic and the entire way back to the hotel and the groom got on the mic and it reminded me of you because he got on the mic and the entire way back to the hotel he was doing he was playing a fake tour guide pointing out stuff and it was hilarious the entire way there it was like a 15 minute ride and

he was like just pointing out first of all i like him already and i don't know who he is but that's exactly what i would do it's so much fun you make up shit about like i'd be the tour guide there's nothing to say that's my big go-to whenever I'm in a situation like that that fountain over there pumps out over 150,000 gallons of water every day you know just shit that no one gives it cares about we didn't really let that song breathe as they say in the business right right um so tell me about the show was it a better show was show? Was it not different enough to? No, I actually thought it was slightly better. Really?

Yeah, just because I think that the first night, I always feel like if there's like a three-night stand somewhere, go to the second show because it's when they're getting comfortable in the venue. The second or third show. So I don't know. I thought it was, it just seemed like the band had coalesced. Why are you shouting? Am I shouting?

It's because my headphones are, like, low, but every time I turn it up, it's way too loud. Yeah. All right. So he played Sleeping with the Television on. And then he played, oh, And So It Goes, which you didn't play

that first night. Should we hear a little And So It Goes? Yeah, I want to hear, I want to hear these songs because I don't know some of them. Let's hear a little bit. So what's that one

where he goes, I don't know, it ain't Jamie. I'm kidding. That's one that- We didn't start the fire, you mean? Yeah, we didn't start the fire.

Oh, we played in, oh, this is, this is a nice one. I like this song. What album is this? Stormfront. Yes. One of the records that I do not have,

because this is a period that I was out of Billy Joel. Yeah. I did not even get An Innocent Man until recently, because... Oh, that's a great album. I was all pre-Innocent Man is what I liked. But this is nice. I don't really know this song. Yeah, this is a good song.

I think this album, Stormfront, is not my favorite Billy Joel album. It's a little, in my opinion, a little overproduced. But there are some great songs on it. This sounds pretty good. Because Downeaster Alexa is a great song, the one that Todd likes to put his own sort of signature on. Yeah, and then you have all the lights out and I try to light like two

candles, like the flickering of the candle and the darkness of the room and hearing that song just waft through the room. It's very cool. I didn't used to like slow songs and I'm embarrassed to say this. I just don't think I had the appreciation for them. But my brother swears that when I was 16 I said, I don't like slow songs.

Because whenever I would listen to music, I would always skip to the next song because I figured they're going to do slow, fast, slow, fast, slow, fast. So in my head, I'm like, skip, skip, slow, fast, skip. I would try to get to the fast songs. Now I can appreciate slow songs. I've come a long way. You are insane. I love it. Oh, he played Keeping the Faith. And keeping the faith. And, he played Keepin' the Faith?

In Keepin' the Faith! And then he played Uptown Girl. Other than that... Let me hear. By the way, you want to hear Uptown Girl? No, I know that. Keepin' the Faith. Oh, I know Keepin' the Faith. By the way, look at the video for Keepin' the Faith. Have you ever seen the video, Adam?

Yes. For Keepin' the Faith? Yes. I watched it again this week because I saw it was on the set list. It has the most surprising, incredible ending to any video I've ever seen. Oh, I don't remember the ending. One of the best cameos I have ever seen in a video. Just watch it. Just watch it. We'll watch it on the break.

We'll watch it on the break. I just want people to experience it without me spoiling it for them. I watched it recently. I'm just not remembering. We'll talk about it on the break. We'll watch it on the break. I just want people to experience it without me spoiling it for them. I watched it recently. I'm just not remembering. We'll talk about it on the break. Is it like Mr. T or something? No, it's not Mr. T. How disappointing would that be if I said it was one of the most amazing cameos?

All of a sudden, Mr. T pops up. No, it's amazing. You like this song, Todd? I will say this is not my favorite Billy Joel. Oh, yeah. This is Innocent Man. Yeah. I don't like to say don't like something because someone like...

Yeah, someone slaved away at this. Yeah, it's just like not my thing, but it's not my favorite song, but I don't like to say I don't like it. I think that's giving people the wrong impression of the Billy Joel that we like. If you listen to the songs we talked about last week, that the kind of like i know the songs like the early the early uh deep cuts are what we're into oh so uh any other impressions of the how is it going to the hollywood bowl so many times twice twice in one week in one week uh It was fine. The show was great. I mean, the first night was a great show, right?

This show was, I mean, it was structurally very similar, but there was just something that felt a little more sort of, like I said, like coalesced about it. It was a great, great show. Did he tell any of the same stories? No. No, all the stage patter was different. I hate it it when i see someone do the stage pattern the exact same yeah no all that he's he was uh very spontaneous you know it's refreshing when you see it because you

go okay it could be done because you want to be fair you want to go off they're doing the show seven nights i've seen it where they'll tell the same story but at least they don't do some they'll tell a lot of different stories but when they do tell one of the same stories it's 80 the same yeah i think 80 is fine yeah and the other thing that i don't like that they do that bad comedians do uh that sometimes singers think they have to do you just want to go up to them and say you don't have to you don't have to fake laugh at the punchline you don't have to you don't have to fake laugh like you just thought of it as you were as you don't have to fake laugh like i laugh when i talk to you oh scott i know you don't have to fake laugh like you just thought of it as it was coming out of your mouth. You don't have to fake laugh like I laugh when I talk to you. Scott, I know you don't mean that.

That's why I'm able to laugh at it. I saw Roger McGuinn, the guy from the Birds, three nights in a row once because he was opening for someone that I did want to see. Who was he opening for? He was opening for Crowded House in 1989. And you saw them three nights in a row. Yes, they were an amazing band with their original drummer, Paul Hester, R.I.P. Is he dead? Yes, in a terrible way. Why talk about that on our fun show? You got put in a trash compactor.

Like in Superman 3? What, did that happen? Oh, no, that was a, What is that when they crush the cars? That's a trash compactor, isn't it? That's a car compactor. Okay, same thing. I never saw Superman 3. What?

The Richard Pryor one. You never saw it? The Richard Lester one. Never saw it. Why? Because Return of the Jedi came out that summer. You can only see one movie that entire summer? If it's Return of the Jedi.

Weren't you a little boy? You were a little boy who had big boy a little boy? You were a little boy who had big boy dreams? I was a little brown boy, yes. You were a little brown boy who had big... Wait, brown? Where'd you grow up?

Why did you say brown? No, I never saw that one. You were a little boy. You wanted to be a big boy. Little boy wanted to be a big boy. Had to see Return of the Jedi. No, I don't know why I didn't never saw it just 1983

1983 never how old are you in 1983 10 years you're a little boy but you're not such a little boy at this point it's not like you're a little little boy you're a little boy i'm 10 years old but you're a little boy but you're not yet a big boy but you're kind of in the middle yes and i didn't see the fucking movie why i don't know did you see superman one and two well there had to be a movie you didn't see name one uh trip to bountiful saw it uh nine to five saw it in the theater debbie? Dabney Coleman! Oh, okay. What, that proves it to you? I could be lying.

I don't know. You're right. I'll be the worst detective in the world. You rolled over easy on that one. I'd be like, I'd be the worst detective and what makes, why shouldn't I believe you killed her?

I was at the mall. Oh, right. Okay, so it was a good show and are you going back? Pardon me. Are you going back a third time? No. Why is that? I can't. Why is that? Because

you can't afford it. Because I can't afford it. You're not doing well, Adam? No. Is it because Park's final season is only 13 episodes? Were you counting on it being 22? season is only 13 episodes? Yes. Were you counting on it being 22? Is it only 13 episodes?

Do you not know that? I know why he's not going. Because I was listening. He called into the Suzy Orman show, you know, when they asked if they could do something and then they look at your financial stats. And he went,

did you, by the way, have you ever seen that? Oh, yeah. It's great. Do they really, they look inside people's bank accounts? Well, they tell you,

like, people call in the show and if they're being honest, they'll be like, hey, Susie, I'm this age and I have this much for my retirement. Just a quick 30 second of what your investments are. I'm this much in debt. And then I swear to God, they'll be like,

can I buy a Harley? Absolutely not. You know, she gets very upset, but I love it. I love it. Is that the one thing everyone wants? I'm 52, I have no retirement. Can I spend, you know, it'll be something egregious. Is that the one thing everyone wants? I'm 52. I have no retirement. Can I spend? It'll be something egregious.

Is that really what they usually are doing, going through their financials so they could buy something stupid? Sometimes, yeah. Sometimes the question makes sense. You could see someone going, I want to be good with my money. And if I call in, is this something? By the way, I think this is an episode of Talking About Money. Oh, yeah.

Absolutely. Sorry. Hey, everyone. Welcome to Talking About Money. I'm your host, Scott. Hey, this is Scott. And we have a guest here, Todd Glass. And I mean, quite frankly, we're talking about money.

Oh, you know what? Let's be frank. Hey, everyone. This is an episode of Let's Be Frank. I'm your host, Scott. This is Scott. And hey, let's Be Frank here. We're talking about money.

You know... Hey, good episode of Let's Be Frank, by the way. That was great. Now we're back in talking about money. And Todd, you were talking about money? Well, I was just saying that on the Suzy Orman show, people call in and they say like, Hey, Suzy, you know, I'm 55. I have no money saved at all.

And I'm in debt and I borrow money saved at all. And I'm in debt. And I borrow money from my parents. Can I buy a yacht? She goes, and then she makes that stamp sound, you know, in a sound effect. I don't know it. You know, the, yeah, absolutely not. Does she say yes ever? Yes, she does, actually. She says, you know what, buy your Harley.

She goes, yeah, go ahead and get it. 50% of the time, I think she probably says yes. A lot of times, isn't it like We're all gonna die anyway Like buy your Harley No You don't think so Well that sounds easy But you know

The thing is It's not if you die It's if you live You're fucked Well that's the thing Just kill yourself then Thank you And that's what I've been trying to say

Buy your Harley And if you're like Oh shit I lived longer Just kill yourself Maybe Alright this has been Talk About Money That was a great app that was a great app

Well, a discount at least if they hear this. You're listening to you talking U2 to me. We got to cover this really quickly before we get to Stained.

Is this a joke that we're never going to talk about Stained? No. Are you kidding me? I don't care. I love, you know, I got nowhere else to be. We got to talk about... Oh, Todd. We got to talk about U2.

We're talking U2 here. Todd, do you like the band U2? I probably like some of their songs. If you could name one, could you? If you could, could you? First of all, yes. The answer would be yes, because you could. If you could, could you?

I know that U2, he gets the, oh, I hate when I know I'm going to ask a stupid question, so I just started There are no stupid questions on this show. Just stupid people asking. Yes. The questions that come out of them, not as stupid as the person asking them. That's worse. For one minute, I felt like I was in a safe cocoon for three seconds. No, there's no stupid questions.

Now, the morons. Did you make it? Nope. Okay, it's all right. Like I'm the, you feel better now that I granted you it's all right? I'm going to try mine. Where is it? Right behind you?

Todd, I'm going to go over your head. By the way, we're throwing things into the trash can. If you make it, I'll give you $5. Will you really? Absolutely. All right. I can, and by the way, I cannot see it. I'm guessing where it is.

Not going to make it. Oh, no. How close was I? You hit the rim. You hit the rim, and it sort of went in, and then it bounced out. Oh, man. And I've heard that before. I mean, you heard that before.

Edit that out. What are you talking about? You two, I know. Here's when it comes into the part I don't know. And there's probably someone listening. They're going, I know what Todd means. That's the lead singer gets you two. What is his name we're not going to tell you he gets teased a lot for taking himself too seriously like he's in the world hunger yeah yeah we're not gonna we're

not gonna tell you anything i want to hear everything you know about well i know that last time we talked about it i sort of not even knowing that much about him i was like and then you tell me what you think of wait you and you and scott had a conversation no me and me and some friends his name came up about how he's sort of like you know he's saved the planet and i thought isn't that better than not giving a shit like why do people come down on him yeah like he cares so i get what they're saying does he take himself too seriously i don't know maybe he just gives a fuck i said and i know nothing about him so but But his name is... And he wears these big glasses.

And he has his hair sort of thinning up top a little bit. Like a widow's peak. Claws in cat. Wait, he's Dracula? No, am I right so far? A widow's peak? Yeah, like, no, where the hair, like Letterman's hair comes all the way up. I would love to see, like, a police sketch artist.

Sketching out this person. It's basically Dracula with giant sunglasses. Who gives a shit about the world. I think I'm doing pretty good. You're doing good. And this song, U2. U2. U2.

Well, first of all, what's his name? I'm forgetting his name. Give me the first letter. No, I just want to know everything you know about the band U2 without giving you any kind of hints. What else about U2? What else do you know about U2? Life experiences, anything.

Any contact you've made. Big glasses. I know. I can't. If you told me a song, I would genuinely, as it's coming out of your mouth, one of those things, I'd be like, oh yeah. But anybody could do that. Have you ever played one of their songs in your backyard and added any effects whatsoever?

Or any drums. Any drumming. Any live instrumentation. By the way, I so much want you to see what it's like, because you will go, invite us over. I think that adding a drummer to recorded music at a party. It's game changer. No joke is a great idea.

Yeah. By the way. I think that's an awesome move for a party. Everybody that hears about it, even the people that don't make fun of it. I hear this all the time when they see it. They're like, yeah, to be honest. And Todd, I was even saying when everyone else was going, what? I was defending it.

But I still didn't know. It's a fucking game changer. Now, I think sitting around by yourself at your house, turning up the reverb dial is weird. I'll tell you why it's not that big of a deal. I don't plan on doing it. A song was on. You don't plan on doing it? This is even weirder.

You're just reaching for it. Well, I think it would be weird if he planned it, though. That's true. If he made a date in his appointment book. I'm going to add reverb to Downeaster Alexa on April 24th. I'm going to tell you where I came up with the idea. I used to have a long time ago. It's been a while.

It's been a while. I don't even remember what it was, but it was some sort of, it played CDs, but on it, it had a button and you could go like live. It had different settings. It had jazz. And live was just putting a little reverb in it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I would even start doing that to other songs.

Like I would play them in my house and one day I went over to the reverb and it really did, it gave it sort of a live sound But wait Where is the reverb On the PA system On the PA So you're playing music through the PA Or you're putting music up to a microphone

No no no It's through an amplifier Yeah I have I have a PA system And there's different channels And then I'll just A public address system Yes

And then I use it Is that really what PA stands for Yeah In my house I don't use it that often Because I just have Whatever that is You know I hook it up to my phone And I don't use it that often because I just have whatever that is. I hook it up to my phone, and I have the – what is that little new thing they have from Apple Store?

I want to hear what you think it is. The thing that you – it's cordless. You don't need to hook it up to my iPhone. It just syncs up with it, and that's good enough for in my house. But in my backyard, the PA. So I noticed there was reverb on there, and I put it in my voice all the time. So I thought, oh, what if I put some in the music? And that Billy Joel song.

Yeah, that's all. So now, here's an interesting fact. If you don't know Todd, I produced a live comedy show for 10 years. And Todd was one of the only comedians who would come by and insist on certain changes in the setup. He would ask for lights to come down. He would ask for certain lights to have like pink gels on them. Now, why do you have to do the- But what I'm saying is-

A pink gel. I didn't say a pink gel. No, you didn't. I maybe would say bring the lights down a little. Right. Yes. What I'm trying to say is you would then go, hey, can we get some reverb on this mic? Yeah.

And so that's just what you like because you are a performer and you like hearing reverb on stuff. So you turn it up in your own house. I don't know what it is with me and reverb that's you like it just you like the way it sounds when you're doing stand-up what why does it make it sound like a a bigger like a like a stadium show the truth is i'll never use it because then that would be annoying because they couldn't hear your words like if you were just doing your stand-up and you had a little reverb in there no that would you don't have any reverb but for bits, it works for so much for bits.

You put reverb, it sounds like a phone. You put reverb, it can sound like – it just does a lot. It sounds like a guy at a football game. Yeah, it sounds like a guy at a podium. It just works to – especially in a podcast where it's all visual, it sort of takes them somewhere sometimes. Reverb can serve for so many things. That's the serious answer I have a theory about reverb in music

that I think oh let's hear it well it's often used to cover up someone who can't they can't hit notes and stuff I think some of my favorite bands use a lot of reverb the Smiths, My Morning Jacket there's something about using a ton of reverb

but you know James Addiction also used a ton of reverb I don Smiths, My Morning Jacket, there's something about using a ton of reverb, but James Addiction also used a ton of reverb. I don't know, there's just something about it that's interesting. I get sick of it if they do it for a whole record. I get sick of it. The Pixies? Uh-huh, uh-huh. Yeah, I don't know. I like it. The Pixies used it well. Sometimes music is too crisp

and too clear. Like, I love the Black Eyed Peas, but guys, put some reverb in there. Put a little in there. I felt like Jeff Lynn could have used a little reverb. Like, his production is sometimes so airless that I really love it sometimes, but then sometimes it could sound a little more live.

Sometimes I go a little much with it, but my favorite thing to do is, because when else am I going to get to do this, but if I have someone come on the podcast and just do a song. Like, I had this, her name's Grandma Dirt, and she's really cool, and I said, she came on, I said, instead of doing one of your own songs, or do one of

your own songs, but I asked them to do a cover for me. And they'll do it. And she did Glen Campbell, Try a Little Kindness. She just did it on the guitar. And it was, her version of it was really beautiful. And I'm at the soundboard, so I'm putting a little reverb in there. I bet you are. That's fun, right?

You sly dog. Yeah. You sly dog. A little reverb. It sounds good. Yeah. So did it make Down A little reverb. It sounds good. Yeah. So did it make Downeaster Alexa sound even larger? Yeah, and just the...

It's something about that already. You picture the... You know, it's out there on the sea, and it's like... And now it's just this... Yeah, it's just sort of bouncing all over the place. It just does it for me, you know? I love it. I love it.

God, that candy bar looks so good. You want some? No, no, no. It's okay. Adam's eating... It's like a protein bar. It's not as satisfying as you would think. God, that candy bar looks so good. You want some? No, no, no. It's okay. Adam's eating a protein bar. It's not as satisfying as you would think. No, it's good. But you can have some.

No, no. I'm good. I'm good. I feel like that song, like that album, like I said, I think it's a little overproduced, but it works so well for that song because it is like that epic seed-bearing, you know. There's certain things about reverb in the 80s, though. It was overused. Oh, my God.

Julio Iglesias? I was 13, and I remember thinking, how much fucking reverb does this guy need? Really? Can't he sing? Now, what year is this? Well, I don't know. When I was 13, I was probably 95. 95?

When I was 13, that was 1983, and I was out there watching Superman 3. I was watching Return of the Jedi. I was doing it all. I was living it up because I was a little boy, but I wanted to be a big boy. And I was not yet a big boy. When I was 13, it was 1986.

What were you watching? Gleaming the Cube? You know, it was Mick Jones that produced Stormfront. Oh, from The Clash. No. Oh, from Foreigner. Yes. Okay.

Mick Jones from Foreigner. That album would have sounded very different of Mick Jones from The Clash. Yeah, that would have been okay. Can I tell you something else I do? Is Mick Jones, is that right, from Foreigner? Mick Jones. I think so. Let me look that up. Is it Mick?

Okay, hold on. I should be a wedding planner. You really should. You know why I wouldn't do it? Because I wouldn't want people fucking jumping in with their own ideas. Now, do it the way I do it. I'd be like one of those wedding planner Nazis. No, you do it.

People go, you're going to use this guy Todd, Glass. You got to do what he does. I mean, he'll let you pick a few things. There's going to be a drummer between you when you're gonna use this guy todd glass you you gotta do what he does i mean he'll let you pick his way there's gonna be a drummer between you when you're saying your vows and during the vows a lot of reverb you know what else i do that's that's also and i don't do this for the whole thing by the way mick jones is both in the clash and foreigner it's the same guy but he's in both bands got it now i know you're gonna it's another one of those things it's gonna sound weird but i'm telling you it fucking makes a big deal I don't do this that often because it takes more

planning, but I hired, this all started because there's this band, they're called, the improv named them Jamie over there, Van Jam, and he'll hire like six pieces to play as the people are coming in. It really makes sense. Let me guess, five bass players and one singer. Exactly. No, it's like three horns and the piano and the drums and the bass. It's really amazing. Wow. And then I got friendly with those guys, and I realized they're younger and they play. So you can like sometimes $50, sometimes $100.

It depends if it's all night. So you take advantage of young people. What I'm saying is sometimes— All right, why do I go to fucking answer him? Already there's press— I've hired only for like three songs. And when it happens, it changes a trumpet player.

So I'll tell him the three songs ahead of time. So he listens to them with the drummer. Don't need to hear anything. He just finds that beat right away, but I'll, I'll, I'll find the trumpet player and that I want to use. One of the guys name is a friend.

In this case, I use this guy named Gabe a lot. And his name is Gabe a lot. Yes. Gabe a lot. Gabe a lot. The trumpet player lot yes gabe a lot gabe a lot the trumpet player sounds like it's a crazy and i'll tell him the three songs i want to do sometimes it'll be like pick another song there's not really any place for me to do usually you don't need to know every detail about this transaction in the middle of the party he just starts wailing out

the trumpet playing along with the song and it's again it's what's not what's not have you ever been to one of these parties i've never invited. I've been invited to his house twice. And you didn't go? What? I've been both times. What I'm saying is I've been both times, the times I was invited. And we didn't have music. You didn't have music?

No, this is in the middle of a day. Oh, yeah, but you never came to a party. No, I never came to a party. I'm due for one. I'm due for one. You should have a party. Do you have parties a lot? I did.

I did. I haven't in a while. I did. You should have a big party like celebration of your book i thought about that and who has promoted your book more than i you've been great and you you and even on the other show we did it was nice of you which by the way you're in the book i think i mentioned you like two times what do you say about me i think i mentioned how we talked about this on the last show i talk about the uh the much of an asshole he is talk about how

Anything? Oh, so... Oh, there's so much right on the... There's a song about... About a...

I think I'm just repeating what I said before. That's okay. Isn't there a song that he did for some big event? Like to raise money for some... It was like really... I'm sure there's a lot of songs, but this was written for one thing particular. No? No, I don't know. I don i don't know i'm just wondering what you know god damn it can't you give me his first name i'm picturing him with his big glasses do you feel like he's someone that has

definitely has like two like a first name and a last name i now that the way you asked it i'm starting i know that's kind of that's one of those jeffrey questions but here's the thing. He's been around a long time. He's been around. First of all, this is nothing wrong that I don't know this. It's just not in my... No, we're just interested.

Sure. No, we just want to know. I know. You're being nice. I wish if I was trying to like his name. You know what? I will give you something That I'll give you a prescription For your ailment He has black hair

Listen to our podcast Because we talk about The names of the members Of the band Yeah It's One of the main pieces Of information

We put across About you On an almost weekly basis Look You've got a good head start On a lot of people You've heard of U2 That was one of our missions Is we wanted people to have heard of the band.

Those who hadn't heard of them, by the time they listen, after they listen to our podcast, they will have heard of the band U2. So you're already ahead of the game. Would you say that he might be unnecessarily sometimes teased about his causes? Listen to the podcast. Oh, I don't want to... I know all my bits through comedy. Like, I think David Spade has a joke where he goes,

this is about the commercialization of the commercialization of the commercialization of the commercialization. Do your song! Or is there something like that? We've talked a little bit about it, especially on the Rattle on the Hot episode. Tell me his name, on my head's gonna blow up give me the first give me initial okay if i give you does he only have one letter does he have one he has to have two names everybody has

two names but does he only go by one yeah give the first letter of his name what if i just gave you one of the letters in his first no it has to be the first the first No, that's too hard. It has to be the first? The first letter. Please. That's too hard. I'm already. One of the letters. Well, look, there's only three. Can I tell you that? There's only three letters in his first name. One may be repeated.

Oh, God. The first letter is B. B. Like butthole. B. B as in butthole. Or butt. B.

God damn it, I should know it. Like you, Bono. By the way. Bono? Yeah, there you go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bono. What's his name?

Doesn't he have a real last name? He has a real one. But he just goes by Bono. I don't think we've ever talked about that on this show. What's his legal name? His legal name. Do you know what it is? Yeah, it's Bono Hubel.

Yeah, it's Rob Hubel this is real name no seriously what's his real name you have to know if you talk about this on your show all the time we have talked about i feel like we've talked about yeah i gotta go back and listen to the shows to see if to see if we've ever because i i'm forgetting right now this is about the commercialization um so that's what you know you you could not even tell us one name of one song. No. But if you played songs. Can I play something?

I would know if you play something, but seriously, and don't tell me if it's going to be it or not. Don't just play his song. I'll tell you if it's his song or not in a heartbeat, I bet. Okay, so I'll play a song. And I'll know if it's his song or not in a heartbeat. I would imagine. Maybe I'm wrong.

Okay, so I'm going to play a song. You tell me if this is a U2 song. Okay. And I'm going to just say, you know, I think I could know pretty quick. No. Okay. It's not, it doesn't have enough soul. Okay.

Would I be right to say that? You are. That was Jerry Rafferty, Baker Street. Well, the next one is going to be him probably. All right, here we go. Ready? No. No.

Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready?

Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready?

Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready?

Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready?. I'm going to get to you, too, I'm going to get to you, too, I'm going to get to you, I'm going to get to you, I'm going to get to you, I'm going to get to you, I'm going to get to you, I'm going to get to you, I'm going to get to you, I'm going to get to you, I'm going to get to you, I'm going to get to you, I'm going to get to you, I'm going to get to you, I'm going to get to you, I'm going to get to you, I'm going to get to you, I'm going to get to you, I'm going to say no.

You are right. That is Weezer. Buddy Holly. This is one of the greatest moments of my life. Just listening to this. All right, ready? Ooh, ooh. No, that's a fucking song from like the 20s.

The 20s, that's Buddy Holly. Speaking of Buddy Holly. Not that it's bad. I don't want to make it sound like the 20s are bad. Okay, ready? Wasn't that song in a movie? I don't know. Stand by me.

I've not seen every single movie, and we're not in an episode of I Love Films. All right, here we go. This is, I used to be, we lived next door to Chubby Checkers when I lived in Paoli. Oh, really? Yeah. His tour bus, that's why I got addicted to tour buses,

because his tour bus would be in his yard, and I just one time got to see it. His daughter, his daughter, showed me the tour bus, and it was, I remember just thinking, I want a fucking tour bus. Was it like a super tricked out tour bus? You know what? I was surprised how big it was, and even then it was, it wasn't overstated, but it was nice. It wasn't like you saw. Here's a new song.

Is this U2? Hold on. This is the instrumental break. Here we go. Can I tell you something? Pause it. And I don't think it's fair. I know so little about him but yet maybe I know more.

Just from the music. I'm thinking no. Let's hear a little more. more. Just from the music, I'm thinking no. Let's hear a little more. Okay. I don't think he would do that. But maybe he's trying to. No. No.

You're right. This is the fat boy's wipeout. Just from the music, that thing, he wouldn't do that. It's more. You're doing this game. The Fat Boys and the Beach Boys crossover. Oh, my God. I'm picturing a full sound.

Definitely the voice comes in with some oomph. Oh, my gosh. I can't believe that happened culturally. By the way, do you like YouTube? Yeah. YouTube. What of all this time I thought we were talking about YouTube Do you like YouTube? Yeah. You, YouTube. What of all this time I thought we were talking about YouTube? You like YouTube?

Yeah. Okay. Yeah, we both do. Okay. All right, here we go. At this point, it's got to be it. Yes. No.

Wait. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Okay. Don't let me answer. This is older, but yes. It's an older work of his, but yes. Incorrect. This is Peter Gabriel Sledgehammer.

Ah, fuck. Can I just, instead of playing this game, would you ask me to play? But this is the greatest game. I knew it wasn't it, but here's what happened. My instincts were that it wasn't it, but I thought, well, how many will he play before it's it? So I said, don't trust your your instincts which my teachers used to tell me uh can i just play you a song well yeah finally at this point i think it would be better for me i'm trying to think of what song you would know um i'm gonna look away you decide all right okay

okay here's all right this is this okay i think this is the song that you would know. Hold on. I think if he heard this show, Bono, he might like me. Because he's like, you know, the guy doesn't know that much about me. But he knows that those other songs weren't mine. And that one song, he'd go, well, I wasn't crazy. He thought that was mine. But if he trusted me, he would know I didn't think that was his.

I just thought that you were going to play it. This is the song that I think you would know, but you do. Here we go. No, this isn't him. No. This is him. No, it isn't. I'm pretty sure this is him.

This is definitely him. This isn't him? You know what I love to do also? Find songs that I love and then look at the covers of them. And they're either great because they're shitty or you find sometimes covers you're like, fuck, that cover's pretty good. So that's what I do on my podcast. I'll find hit songs and then go, who covered them?

And it's actually pretty fun to find weird songs that have been covered. Okay, play his song. Play his song. This is it. Turn it up, Sam. No, this isn't it. This is from Friends. All right.

I will play a U2 song. I'm trying to think of what you would even know. Trick me again. I mean, are you trying to find stuff that sort of sounds like him even? No. I didn't think so. That's what's so funny about this to us. Okay.

Well, by the way, notice when you play something, it's not like – it would be more pathetic if you played some song and I listened to it for three minutes and went, mm, most of the time I'm like, no, no, no. So I'm doing pretty good for not knowing who the fuck it is. The closest thing was Peter Gabriel and they're in the same sort of class. Yeah. All right.

Here is a famous- And by the way, can I tell you, and I swear I'm not lying, you said they're in the same class. I have a feeling if Bono heard that, he'd be like, oh, right. No, no, no, no. Peter Gabriel. Oh, he'd be okay with that? Yeah, I think Peter Gabriel and U2, right?

Like, as far as, like, the pantheon of legendary rock and roll. No, they're in the same thing. Just play a song. All right, so here we go. Ready? Ready? Can I tell you a game that we started playing on my show, and we'll play that over again?

Get it ready again. Okay. We started to play in this game, you have to pick the right song. You're on a road trip, and you get mad at everybody. Now get that ready, and I'm just going to simulate that I'm turning on the stereo.

Okay. Okay, I'm in the car. Just everybody just shut up! I did this, I took a road trip to try to have fun with everybody, and you're arguing, and it just, everything fucking backfired.

So we're driving home. Just shut up, and let me listen to a song that I like, okay? Just shut the fuck up. She was afraid to come out of the open. If you do it 30 times, it gets funny. Found a peanut. Found a peanut. All right.

Here is U2. This is probably their most famous song. Here's the one that I'm peanut, found a peanut. All right, here is U2. This is probably their most famous song. Here's the one that I'm hoping you know. Okay. All right? Can I tell you something, though? See this type of music? I can get, I love shit music, like bubblegum music, too. Like, it's all over the place.

I love this type of stuff, I do. Well, not this's all over the place. I love this type of stuff. I do. Well, not this. This was a little. I like this. Okay. Here is. I don't trust you anymore.

I don't trust you. It's so much fun now. I almost want you to keep finding the weird songs you're going to play. All right. Look. All right. Scott. Yes.

No bullshit. Play the song. Look me in the eye and play a real song and stop fucking around all right all right i gotta find it just play the song seriously okay here we go scott look at me in the eye i am looking you in the eye yes okay okay let me just hear a youtube uh of a uh youtube song all right here we go this is youtube i'll recognize it. This is probably U2's most famous song, I would say, out of all... Yeah, don't play something new. Play...

I knew this was them. Okay, now really play their song. Okay, here's the real... Here is it. Okay. Is this driving? All right, here we go. Ready? Here's the real... Now I really do want to hear it. Oh, Is this driving? All right, here we go. Ready?

Here's the real. Now I really do want to hear it. Oh, it's connecting. All right. I'm going to cruise around the town. Show everybody what I've found. Rock and roll with all my friends. Hoping the music never ends.

This day is ours. Won't you be mine? This day is ours. I used to watch Happy Days when I was younger, and I couldn't even imagine what it would be like to live in that time. I didn't realize they heightened it a little. But isn't it weird that when that show was on, they were portraying just 20 years earlier? Yeah.

I've had that. They'll be like doing the 90s right now. Yeah. Now, let me ask you this. How fucking weird is that? Were they portraying it way over the top that even people that were around then in the 50s would go? It wasn't. It wasn't that 50s, seriously.

It wasn't that 50s. Exactly. That's where I go. It wasn't that 50s. Like, yeah, one of us wore a leather jacket once. But mostly people just wore like wore typical shirt sleeves and a tie and slacks. I knew a guy who slicked back his hair. Yeah, like one guy.

And people were like, oh, hey, Mr. Rocker. And I knew two guys that could start a jukebox by pointing at it. Sure, I knew a guy whose office was the bathroom. And I did know a guy that he was in a gang, but all they really did was go up to girls and go.

Sure. No, we knew these guys. And yes, I knew every member of Sha Na Na. Yeah. Yes, I know this song. Jesus Christ. Do you know how exhausted I am? Yeah, I would imagine.

I'm literally out of breath. I could have done that forever, though. I'd love to. Oh, my God. All done that forever, though. Just listen to it. Oh, my God. All right, guys, we got to get to it. We've been fucking around too long here. We got to get to the reason we're here. It's for stained glass.

Oh, my God. We're two hours in. We're not quite two hours. It's 11 o'clock. Almost. It's 1055. All right, here we go you ready to we're gonna go track by track on their album break the psych god let's talk about stain for a minute

stained is an american rock band formed in 1994 in springfield massachusetts and uh they had five chart topping singlesping singles, sold over 15 million records worldwide. 15 million. The one we're talking about, by the way, they were sort of discovered by Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit. That's something I did not know. And they toured with Limp Bizkit during the Family Values tour, and this album,

they turned away from the new metal sounds of their previous album and turned it into more of an alternative metal sound. Spawned five hit singles. I don't know. Five hit singles. It's been a while. It's been a while.

Fade, Outside for You, and the acoustic ballad, Epiphany, which we'll hear all of these. So they had five hits from this album. From this record, yes. That is crazy so

this was like their one giant album other than that number one record for three weeks uh sold four million copies worldwide making it one of the best selling albums that year it would go on to sell seven million copies worldwide i remember like when Including one they sold today to me to prep for this. I remember when they were huge, like you know when a band gets really huge really quickly? I've seen it a lot. Yes. That you see like publications that you know and respect start to crumble a little bit and pay them the respect you don't – Yeah, begrudging respect.

Yes. But then, and you feel like they shouldn't be paying them. I remember Rolling Stone kind of turning. Well, at least, yeah. And starting to talk about the lead singer as if he is some sort of genius. I don't know anything about this band. I have to say. Can you play one song that I'll know so I can have a basis to go by?

Yeah, sure. Here's one right here. This is Stained. Yes. This was a giant hit. What year? 2001. Okay.

Let's turn it up here so we can hear that great first opening salvo. Put some reverb in. So we can hear that great first opening salvo. Put some reverb. Oh, this is the song we've been doing the whole time. Yeah, that's why you're here. Okay, of course I know that song. Of course you know that one.

It's been a while. It's been a while. All right, we're going to go track by track. Ready? That song was inescapable. Everywhere, yeah. Somehow it escaped me. Most songs are just complaining. Yeah, what do you mean?

Well, because I think, like, no one wants to listen to anybody complain. So it's like, yeah, work it into a fun beat and make it interesting to hear and we'll listen. But if you just take the songs and we took a – If you just take the sentiment behind it or the – Yeah, I took a song from – I forget who it was, but it was like maybe like a – whatever it was, I took it and I just wrote down all the words. And I told everyone on my podcast that I used to write down

my uncle used to live with us and all he did was complain and I said I found I swear to everyone believe me and I took old notes that I found he used to write this shit down

I would be in my room and write it down all he did was complain about his wife and this he was crazy and I really sold it good and then they were like

we went through it and then I went yeah he said I'm going to make a song out of all this. And then I played the song. And they're like, so I go, yeah, music is just complaining. What song was it? I don't remember because it was like a year ago.

But I think it was like a, it was like, I don't remember. I don't remember what song it was. But you could just see. And so really complaining is the purest art form. That's a lot of what it is. Complaining is the purest art form. It's a lot of what it is. Complaining is the purest art form. It's like, she doesn't love me. Yeah, and a lot of the songs, if you put them, if you think about in reality, if they would change someone's opinion, they would not only change someone's opinion, it would scare them.

Like, I want you back. I may as well bring the curtain down now if I can't have you. It's like, that's the type of shit that somebody says to you in real life you're scared you're like hey I'm sad that we don't want to be together but I don't want you to tell me you're going to bring the curtain down or like Willie Nelson's song you were always on my mind you know in real life it'd be like great you were fucking everybody else

but you're thinking about me no I don't want to this guy he's like complaining about how long it's been a while a long while from what he's been talking about. All right, we got to go track by track. Here we go. So let's just-

How many tracks are on this album? Why, there's 13, my dear boy. We're going to listen to every one? Yeah. Let's do it. All right, here we go. Ready? This is the opening song, Open Your Eyes.

Can you pause it for one second? Yep, I sure can. I have that technology. In my real life, and it might not be fair, because you might go, Todd, let a song breathe. A lot of times, if I was looking for music

to play on my podcast, just as opening, whatever, already I would have turned that song off. Why is that? It's just I didn't like the effect on the guitar. So you don't like

that particular effect? We can sail this while it's playing. Yeah, yeah. How about now? Yeah, this sucks. Hey, come sucks okay come on man stained is kind enough to sell me a record that i play on this how much did this cost ten dollars jeez ten dollars i know i tried to illegally download it what do we say what are we all nine years old i didn't have time yeah like it's so much quicker just to do it on iTunes.

Okay, so wait. Let's listen to what the chorus... Let's listen to the entire thing. Okay. Just, like, see if the chorus has a hook. That's a little more like the Limp Bizkit-y sound that they have. Yeah, for sure. It does sound a little less, like, hip-hop influenced than Limp Bizkit was. All right, Professor.

And I also can't stand if a musician doesn't sing well, he better have some awesome lyrics. But I can't stand when they hold back on their voice. It's like, all right. This guy supposedly, his voice is respected.

It's sort of like an Eddie Vedder type rock singer. So this is the chorus. This isn't bad. I like it. It's pretty bad. No, that's me if he was here. You know, hey. This isn't bad. I like it. It's pretty bad. No, that's me if he was here. You know, hey.

You did your best. So that's the, well, it's energetic. I don't like effects. I like clean. You just had a huge conversation about putting reverb on something. Reverb is clean. It's clean. It's not clean.

It's the least clean. But you know what I mean. So you say no distortion on any guitar? Look, I'm not a moron. I can't write that type of music off because for a lot of people, they love it and I get it. But for me, I like it. So every song post-1960, what, four you don't like? You think Billy Joel doesn't have a lot of distortion in his songs?

It's pretty clean. You hear it. It's not like, right? But the Beatles had a very experimental period. Maybe I'm saying it wrong. Maybe I'm saying it wrong. You just mean like needless effects. Yeah, and distortion. I don't like

distortion. I don't know. The Beatles don't have a lot of distortion in their songs. Yeah, but Jimi Hendrix, you don't like any of that? You don't like the Who? Oh yeah, I would imagine there's probably a few Who songs that I really like. i feel like that stuck out to you because it just sounds like grungy someone too much someone putting effects on for no reason right just to make it sound cool and it's just garbage um all right let's go to track two pressure now billy joel has a song

called pressure well all right is this a is this a billy joel cover uh let's hear it hopefully it is pressure hey all right let's go uh-oh todd what do you think of this as as the co-founder of the Stained Glass podcast, what's your opinion? Well, like I said, I don't want to be disrespectful to someone's art, but I probably would have turned it off already. Are they friends of yours? No. No. Say what you will about them.

They're probably nice guys. Maybe I shouldn't be judging their music if I don't know anything about music. I would imagine they're nice guys, too. I bet they are. I don't love their music, though. You know what? To me, it just sounds so boring. I like bands like the Deftones, though.

This isn't too far off. I was never into any of that. You like the Deftones? I like Deftones, yeah. Turn it up a little, though. Well, I can't. Sam is in any of that. You like the deftones? I like deftones, yeah. Turn it up a little, though. Well, I can't. Sam is in charge of this. Thank you, Sam.

There he goes. Here we go. Sam's slow. Sam, were you into this when this was big? Get on the mic. Oh, no. He just... Do you remember it?

Hop on. Hop on, Sam. Yes. You do remember this. Yeah. How old are you? Are you a little boy or are you You do remember this. How old are you? Are you a little boy or are you a big boy now? How old are you?

Just turned 30. Just turned 30. Can you turn my mic up just a little bit? Notice how loud Sam's mic is? It was deep like a radio. Yeah, yeah. It sounded good. This is trick.

He turns his way up. I want to find or something like that. Can you put a little reverb on Todd? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. See, I still feel like mine is. Hello, hello. Yeah, I feel like his is louder. Mine is? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. See, I still feel like mine is. Hello?

Hello? Yeah, I feel like his is louder. Mine is? No, no. This is a weird time in the show to be talking about mic levels. We're in the two-hour mark. That's how boring this music is. All right, let's go to track three, Fade.

My mic went up, by the way. He has kids. Oh, this isn't bad. I think this was... Yes, I think it is. Maybe. Why? All you're hearing is a bass guitar.

I don't like that. You know... Oh, that sounds nice. Thank you. There you go. Yeah, Adam sounds good. I don't love... Third single from the album.

I don't think I love the bass in this band. I don't love the way they record the bass guitar. It's a little too hard at this point. I can imagine buying the record because you're a fan of, it's been a while, and then kind of going, this is not like it's been a while. Did Rick Rubin produce this album? I would say no, but let me...

He produced one of their albums. Josh Abraham, one of the tribe. Jesus. But didn't Rick Rubin eventually produce one of their albums? Rick Rubin eventually will produce everyone's album. Yeah. And he'll ghostwrite some of our books, I believe. All right, here we go.

I just, I just, I just. Not into it? All right, here's, how about track four? Hmm, this sounds. Summertime! Summertime! Summertime! I wanted to trick everybody. I just remember when all of this music was huge,

and I just hated all of it. K-Rock played this so much that it turned me off of the station. Yeah, for sure. It became all this. Yeah. Right around the time The Phantom Menace was out and stuff like this music. Is this an episode of I Love Films? I think so.

Hold on. Hey, guys. Welcome to I Love Films. This is your host, Scott. And this is Scott. And we're talking about films here. We're talking about The Phantom Menace. By the way, we have one of our great guests here, Todd Glass.

Todd, how's it going? Good. Todd, you ever see The Phantom Menace? I have not. Did you ever see a Star Wars movie? No. Really, none of them? You've never seen any of the Star Wars movies?

Maybe I saw them if they were on TV. But you don't know it. By the way, there is a reason. It's hard for me to follow. It's hard for me to follow movies. You know, there's the guy wearing black. He's a bad guy i know you can make a joke but wait it's hard for you to follow movies or it's hard for you to

follow the star wars movies oh any movies i get lost a little easy and then i probably slowly just stop going well this is i love films we're talking about films here yeah and uh it's weird that we would have you as a guest on a movie podcast. Because films that we like are films like The Godfather or Citizen Con- Apocalypse Now. Wait, what were you just doing, Todd? Oh, I put napkins. Look. He's putting napkins in his mouth.

Here we go. What I ever did to disrespect you. Why you got a mama's son? Oh, that's freaking me out because I'm just thinking about you biting down on dry Kleenex. God, take it out of your mouth, please. Oh, God. Stop it. Just knowing that feeling.

Take it out of your mouth, please. All right, this has been I Love Films. Bye. Bye. Oh, good episode that was a great episode by the way what was the what was the episode that we were gonna do oh we were gonna do uh talking about money talk about money with our no no we already did that we already did it we were gonna do uh oh you popping my stones we already did that no but with our guests yeah all right were going to do, oh, you popping my stones. We already did that. Oh, with our guest. Yeah.

All right. Here we go. It's time for you popping my stones. Do the best ones. Hey, welcome to you popping my stones. This is your host, Scott. Hey, this is Scott. And we have a guest here, Todd Glass, on the show.

Hello. First time. Mm-hmm. And we got to ask you one simple question. Todd. You popping my stones you knows it great ep

yeah it was very good one of the best ones we've ever done on that one okay so we're on track 4 we're still on it's been a while so this song was huge but it doesn't really represent the album as far as I can tell not so far it's the only song like that so wait when this song was huge, but it doesn't really represent the album as far as I can tell. Not so far. It's the only song like it.

So wait, when this music was huge, though, in like the early aughts, were you as did you hate it as much as me, Scott? Oh yeah, that's why I don't know this record at all. I don't even really know it's been a while. How about you, Todd? Do you remember when this music was huge?

Just hearing this song, I can remember this being played a lot. It was weird because like 10 years before this is when Grunge started. Yeah, this is like Stone Temple Pilots. Yeah, so then this comes out 10 years later, and I'm like, what the fuck? I thought we got rid of all of this, though i liked nirvana and pearl jam and stuff when they were huge yeah but this is like nirvana and pearl jam if you add a kind of funk yeah you know what i mean i don't know i don't like it all right let's go to track five change do you think this will be about like the change in someone's pocket yes yes they do

uh-oh oh it was $10 for all the songs. What'd you think it was? For the one. Now I understand. So you think I paid $10 for each song? I thought that was a lot of money. So I paid $130 for this record. At the time, I only thought you bought one to play as an example.

And why would you think that that was okay, that I paid $10? I did. Remember, if you listen back, I went, $10? Well, yeah, because $10 for this record. Let's listen back. So I paid $10 for this. $10? Are you crazy?

That's a lot of money. Scott, why is Todd going so nuts? Why am I going nuts, Adam? You don't even understand. $10 for one song. This whole record isn't even worth $10. So anyway, Scott, as I was saying... Oh, now that we hear it.

We were ignoring you. Yeah. Huh. Let's hear another one. All right, this is track six, Can't Believe. Oh, this is explicit. That's exciting. Okay, I like it so far.

Well, sure, it's your live drubber friend. Sure. Same problem. This I like. You do? No. Okay. You fooled me.

What is that? The Beatles don't do that. No, that's too much distortion. Some people must love distortion. I have to respect that. I have to say that you probably don't know that someone is using distortion when they use it. Well, yeah. Maybe this level of distortion.

Yeah. See, this is too much for you. But I would say like 0% of any song you ever listen to just has a plain acoustic guitar. Of course. Strumming. You idiot. All right. This is epiphany.

Wait. We didn't hear enough of that other one oh you want to hear more i can't believe this is an explicit song by the way i want to hear why let's hear him talk about his balls or something my balls oh boy Oh boy. The songs aren't very good. Like it's not... Well, maybe if you were to do an acoustic version of it, you'd hear the songwriting prowess that's being disguised by this arrangement. It's that same sort of... structure of all those...

Is that a DJ? Do you hear a DJ thing in there? Remember when bands like Incubus would have a DJ just going... That was another band that was huge back then, too. It was Incubus. But they weren't this, really, were they? A little bit. They were a little bit. Yeah.

They just did more slower songs that got popular, I think. They were huge. Are they still around? No, I don't... Well, maybe. They might be dead. Is this band still around? No, I don't. Well, maybe. I mean, they might be dead. Is this band still around? Stained?

Stained, they are on hiatus, and their drummer left. No, you can replace drummer. I know a guy, Martin Diller, he'll fill in. He does... With the guy from your backyard parties? Yeah, Martin Diller. You have to pay him $100 per show. Well, not if he's going on tour, but...

Well, how much if he's going on tour? Well, I think probably $500 a show. $500 a show. It's a good deal if you're going on tour. How much if he's going on tour? Well, I think probably $500 a show. $500 a show. It's a good deal if you're in Stained. I feel like Stained still puts out records. If I'm not mistaken, I see them pop up on iTunes, and they are self-releasing their own stuff. Sure, but they have not put out one since 2011.

So three years at this point. Let's hear Epiphany. Was this a hit too? It sounds like it was. This sounds a little more like... It's been a while. I never left you all by yourself. This was their fifth single.

Wow, five singles. Released August 2002. Mama, help me get off of the roof. I'm coming down. 2002. Mama, help me get off of the roof. I'm coming down. Mama, help me get off of the roof. I'm coming down.

Who's this guy who went on the roof? He was on heroin. He needed his mom to help him down. But he wanted to alert her to the fact he was coming down. This is, okay. Let me hear it. I think I remember this. Good addition to the podcast. Do you remember this song, though?

I will say unequivocally, no. Because I don't waffle back and forth. I just remember hearing it. Fuck you. I think I remember hearing it on the radio and just that beginning part and just always turning the channel. What would you turn it to? NPR?

Probably because I'm a member of the world. All right. Let's hear track eight, Suffer. Speaking of which. What's the name of the song? Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello.

So far, for an episode of Stained Glass, we're not digging the music. No. We're making it work. As much as we should be. But we should go through every single one of their albums. Yes. Oh, there's more? How many albums do they have?

Oh, that's a good question. They have. Yes. Go ahead. You don't have to ask if you can tell me something. You can just tell me something. They have. Yes.

Go ahead. You don't have to ask if you can tell me something. You can just tell me something. Everything that's coming into my mind about their songs, I don't want to say, although I will. But because when people don't like comedy and they come after it, it's like, why can't you just say that's not for me? Why do you have to go in with a vengeance after somebody? It's just not your thing. You do realize there's lots of different types of comedy.

So I want it. But then there's another not your thing. You do realize there's lots of different types of comedy. So I want it. But then there's another side of me, and I guess I'm saying it because, you know, it's never going to get back to them. Because if it did, I would shut the fuck up. Because, you know, you don't want to. Well, there's a lot of Twitter snitches out there, by the way. You know what, then? I don't like Twitter snitches. Don't go writing disdain, say, hey, listen to this.

No, because we're saying it from a gentle place. We're trying to say, I want to say, it's just not my thing. It's just not my thing. You don't write it off. Snitches get itches. That's right. Alright, let's hear track 9. No, but what were you going to say? That I just, it's hard for me to imagine

like, you know, laying down and like, listening to this album. I don't know. It's hard for me to imagine standing up listening to it. Do you listen to music exclusively laying down, horizontal? You're right, I don't that often. But I like to imagine that I would't know. It's hard for me to imagine standing up listening to it. Do you listen to music exclusively laying down horizontally? You're right. I don't that often, but I like to imagine that I would do that.

You have the kind of lifestyle in your head where when you listen to music, you lay down. Well, you know, but I have a lot of things in my head that I want to do. But there were 15 million people who laid down and listened to it. Yes, that's true. All right, let's hear track nine, Warm Safe Place. Talk about pussy. I take everything I said back. You know what? I want to be

evolved and I don't want to be an idiot. Some people, this does it for them. Maybe the words we're not listening to, they get into it. It means something to them, represents something to them. I also think that this is a lot about being young and having a lot of angst. I will say, I went to see Limp Bizkit with Doug Benson once in a show where a lot of bands were playing and we had fun.

We like danced around, shook our little butts. Shake your little fannies together. Yeah. I know, you know, that's exactly right. And me saying,

I think this sucks. That's just me. Other people like it and that's fine but i do think that this sucks what's your track 10 for you this is also for me this sucks this is an explicit song as well oh so maybe we'll hear this one something about his testicles you know when they uh when the it's very often done in especially younger bands where they just jump up and down in one place. One night we did that at my house.

Not moving, just jumping up and down. Yeah, just jumping up and down in one place. Me, a few other comedians like Blake Wexler, Rory Scoville, we did it at my house. Let me tell you something. I would never do it at a concert, but in our house, so much fucking. Really? Just jumping up and down? Oh, it's pure pure just you know just just just letting out

so much energy in such a fun simple way it was it was so much fun i could see why that's fun when i watch it i watch a track called outside by stained uh yeah just by the way they have seven records. Seven albums. Seven episodes of Stained Glass, I think. Is this stained? This is stained. Stained. Stained Glass. This is stained. Stained.

I don't know what the fuck. You are the glass. Right, stained. So they had albums before this album. They had two records before this. What's actually interesting about them is Fred Durst, they were put onto a Fred Durst tour supporting Limp Bizkit,

and Fred was so disturbed by their album cover that he tried to kick them off the tour. What? Will Durst did this? The political comedian from San Francisco? And then was so impressed with their live act that he then

produced their record. Can you do me a favor before I judge? What? Can you turn this up so I can hear it just for five seconds really loud? This isn't bad. I prefer when the vocals are ahead of the music. I don't want to hear the vocals lost in the music. If I was, I'd be like, sing!

Right. Turn his vocals up. He doesn't want us to. Well, then we're not doing the record. This was the second single, by the way. Should we lead vocals? Lead vocals. The vocals should lead.

I just hate how they always have to put in that big kind of power chord feedback. Allison Chainsy. I think Allison Chains was a big influence on them. In fact, I think he wrote a song about the lead singer. I never liked

Allison Chains either. Neither did I, but I get it a little bit. This I like more than the Yeah, me too. Okay, let's go to I can see why people were into it.

Yeah. I'm going to get a karaoke version of this and sing my own version and send it to you so you can play it on your show. I would love that. I think I could do it. That would be terrific. I would love that. I would really love that.

I'm going to do it. This is a song called Outside by Stained Glass. Thank you. Okay. If Nirvana had never... In fact, I will buy the karaoke version of it. I'll email it to you. Will you record it and send it to me this week?

I'm going to put some work into it, too. Okay, here we go. Hold on. Hold on. Okay. Karaoke outside. Not now. I don't want to do it.

If Nirvana and Pearl Jam and all those bands had never existed, do you think you would like this, Scott and Todd? That's interesting. If they had never existed... Yeah existed yeah this was a new thing these guys were doing if like i heard this okay 1989 1990 they were shitty years for music everything everything had everything was just sound horrible and if this came along instead of nirvana no if nirvana and shit never happened and this came along in 2001 like it did i'm trying to imagine the world If Nirvana and shit never happened and this came along in 2001 like it did, I'm trying to imagine

the world if Nirvana had never happened. What would it have been? Would we have had this 90s ska revival and all that kind of stuff? I don't know. Here's what I wonder.

Okay. I noticed that the majority of the time, and I'm going to go full circle here, when comedians, as much as there's a lot of comedy we don't like, there's

also a lot of comedy we really like. So I don't think we're all bitter. Matter of fact, so many of my comedian friends get excited when we see new funny people. And there's a lot of new funny people, I think, especially in the last five years. But when you ask most comedians, if it was me, you, and six or seven comedians that we all, you know, we think they're good.

We usually agree. If you mention a comedian, you throw their name out there, you're a little apprehensive you're like what's the deal what do you think we all agree from knowing people that know about comedy not only will we give our opinion we'll break it down and it'll make sense i'd be curious what five musicians that we like whoever it is just five guys that are they've been around forever. They're respected. They've been around. What do they think of this? What have you said? Because they might be able to go, well, I understand why you don't think that, but here's why they respect. Because they're going to be able to answer you with clarity, and it's going to make fucking sense.

Here's why this is better than a Limp Bizkit or something completely disposable. Or they're going to say, and make our feelings feel right, they're going to go, no, you guys, especially me, going, Todd, you don't know a lot, but you weren't that far off. I'd be curious what they said. Not five people. What about me? Maybe I'm not far off either. Well, you might be, but I'm saying a musician by trade, like somebody like.

No, no, I know, but maybe the musician that comes in would validate my feelings as well, not just yours. Oh, yours too, of course. Okay, I'm sending you, I bought the karaoke version. Okay. I'm sending it to you

right now. Are you sending him an iTunes gift? No, I buy the actual MP3. Oh. I bought it and I'm emailing you

the MP3. Because I send iTunes gifts a lot. I like doing that, but sometimes, sometimes, shut up, sometimes,

it, it goes into junk mail and the person never fucking gets it. No, that happened to me. I sent Reggie Watts something. Yeah. And I was sitting around for fucking three months going, this asshole is not saying like... What the fuck? Hey, thanks, man.

That album that we talked about that you sent me. And then, yeah, he looked it up and it was in junk mail. I'm like, what the fuck, iTunes? What song are we on? That was track 10 i just did that recently with a serve a season of survivor i sent to someone god adam a whole season yeah for who friend of mine friend of mine i have to take a leak can we take a break no we can't all right how many more songs on this album? We have two songs. All right. Can you hold it?

Yeah. I have to do two. You have to take a leak as well? Yes. Do you think you'll do it side by side? No. I don't go to this. You don't do that?

No, never. Todd will go first, and then I'll go. Okay. Well, there's a stall, and then there's a toilet. Oh, no. It's a women's bathroom. That's true. Listen, I'm going to go right now, and I'll be right back. No.

No? Oh, okay. Okay. Let's do the two songs. All Okay, let's do the two songs. All right, let's do the two songs. And then we're done with the podcast. And then we're done, yeah. Look, it's 11.23 at night.

We have to be done soon. Here we go. Here's the last two songs. This is Waste. I like it. Next. Next. It sounds like your backyard party.

Mama saw. Mama saw? Is that you? Yeah. Why don't all my songs start with mama? Mama! You have mother issues, don't you? No.

Whoa! That's crazy! That's crazy. I swear I never heard this song. You've never heard this? Wow. That is what stained glass is all about. You know what?

I'm not even going to play the last song. So glad we didn't go to the bathroom. We got that moment. Yes. That was crazy, Todd. I knew there was something with mothers. You're on another level. We try to make it bigger.

Oh, God. All right, guys. Well, we got to wrap it up. Isn't there one more song? There's one more. He says why. We went out on a high note. Mama.

Okay, look. When you're right, you're right, Scott. You're right. Sometimes when he's wrong, he's right, and I've seen this. I want to say. I want to say. I want to say. I want to say.

How's this going to make you feel? I was going to say I want to say buy Todd's book, The Todd Glass Situation, and now you've made fun of me. I'm not even going to say it. How's to make you feel? I was going to say, I want to say, buy Todd's book, The Todd Glass Situation. And now you've made fun of me. I'm not even going to say it. How's that make you feel? I want to apologize. Thank you so much.

You know what? I do not accept your apology. How's that make you feel, to have someone not accept it? It makes me feel like I have to let my apology sit with you a little longer so you know it's genuine. Nope, never going to do it. Todd, thank you for being part of Stained Glass, the first episode of I Hope Many. This was, by the way, no bullshit.

So scary for me. Entering into something I had no idea. Yeah, because you were like on the phone. I'm like, I like to know what I'm walking into. That's why once I find a place to eat, I eat there every fucking night. But it was fun, right? You had a good time.

I did have fun, actually. Because you know what? I didn't know what to do tonight, and this was fun. Hey, this is a good time. I did have fun, actually. Because you know what? I didn't know what to do tonight, and this was fun. Hey, this is better than doing nothing. It is. And that's all we can really say about this podcast. The number one selling point.

The only selling point. It's better than doing nothing. And then the reviewer would be like, that's what they say. But I did nothing last night, and it was more fun. It was far superior. All right. That's what they say, but I did nothing last night, and it was more fun. It was far superior.

All right. For Adam, Scott, I am Scott. Scott is across the table. For Todd and Scott and me, Scott, I want to say thank you for listening, and we hope that you have found what you're looking for. See you next week for Spider-Man. Turn off the darkles. Bye. Bye.

Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.
