welcome to back my name is scott and this is scott we're back baby two three four you did two three four you did two when it should be three four when it should be one seven eight welcome back this is scott of course, welcoming you back to another episode. It has been two years since our last one. It's been a minute.

How long has it been? Seriously. It's been two years. Come on. Hey, hey, hey. Cut the shit. How long has it been? Scott, stop fucking around.

Tell me how long it's been. Okay, look. Scott, what did I say? You told me to stop fucking around. Stop talking. Tell me how long it's been okay scott what did i say you told me stop talking tell me how long it's been i can't cut the fucking bullshit bro can i do you want me to go ahead sorry it's been a minute scott look we're back that's all that needs to be said. That's all that matters. Is it a regular thing? Is it a one-off? We don't know, but we're back. Some people say that once every 18 months is a regular thing.

If we're working within that framework, this is a regular thing. This is so regular that it's almost like my colon, if you know what I mean. Speaking of your colon, there are places in the world where, and correct me if I'm wrong, where people— Do you want me to do that right now or do you want me to wait until you actually say what you're going to say? I would appreciate it if you waited until I said what I was trying to say. Okay. Which was there are places in the world where people only shit once every 18 months. 18 months? 18 months.

I'm going to go out on a single solitary limb. Sure. And say that you are wrong, my friend. I am talking about a place where 18 months is referred to as 18 months. But is this like God created the world in seven days and they say that each day actually is like a thousand years or something like that? Interesting. That's exactly right. Interesting.

That's so interesting. Let's kiss. Guys, we're back. This is obviously Scott of Scott and Scott. And sitting across from me, the star of the soon-to-be-on-the-fox broadcasting network, Rupert Murdoch's own Fox From the television show Hot Tub Time Machine 3. Hold on. Hold on.

No, it's, what is the title of your show? Colin Josted. Josted. Josted. It is called Ghosted, and it'll be coming to your television sets every Sunday night after The Simpsons this fall. Okay. And your betrothed is in the pilot, and she does an incredible job.

Yes. Now, such an incredible job that she returns for every episode? Only if my character goes back to this bookstore for some reason. Well, maybe write him so he has an inquisitive nature where he's always... Okay, slow down. Slow down. Maybe she'll be on every 18 months. Maybe, and then it would be a regular thing.

Across from me, of course, is my partner in crime, my compadre, Scott. What's up, Paisan? Wait a minute.adre, Scott. What's up, Paisan? Wait a minute. Is this an episode of What's Up, Paisan? I think it is. When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore. Hey, what's up, Paisan? El pizza ravioli.

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a moray. Good ep. That was a really good ep. That was not bad. Not too shabby, Scott. N.T. Shabs. What if we started a restaurant called N.T. Shabs? And everyone's like, what are you talking about?

It stands for not too shabby. Hold on a second. Is this another episode of NT Shabs? Uh-oh, I do believe it is. Hey, welcome to NT Shabs. This is Scott. And this is Scott. We're just talking about shabs today.

Man, you know what? Today, I actually, no bullshit whatsoever, went to the grocery store. Okay, I had a list of things I had to get, including just sort of, you know, wipes for the kitchen, you know, general kitchen wipes. Kitchen wipes. You wipe down the counter. You wipe down the stove. Got two of them because I figured.

Two individual wipes? Two wipes. They sell them individually at my store that I like. Are they loose or do they come in a baggie of some sort? You have to look around. You have to look or they're not even in the same spot in the store? That's right. You never know where you're going to run into one.

So I found two. Two of them. You know what I said to myself? What's that? This is N.T. Shabbs. That's been an episode of N.T. Shabs. That's been an episode of N.T. Shabs. Good ep. Great ep.

Probably the best ep of that yet. Of N.T. Shabs? Of N.T. Shabs, yeah. It's in the top two. Is N.T. Shabs a spinoff of NCIS? Yeah. You didn't know that? I didn't. I had no idea until we started

talking about it. N.T. Shabbs is a spin-off of NTSF. S.D. S.U.V.? Yes. This is Paul Shearer's

podcast spin-off. So, Anywho. Yep, yep, yep. Any what,

where, why, how, and who. We are, of course, talking about the band U2. U2.

We have been talking about them for years now. How long has it been since we started the podcast? I think we started the podcast. Scott, I need to know how long it's been. Do you want me to fuck around? Cut the shit. Do you want me to fuck around? Cut the shit. Do you want me to cut the shit? I want you to cut the shit in half and tell me how long it's been.

With my turd cutter, a.k.a. my sphincter? Take your turd cutter and cut the shit in half. Thank you. I don't know. I think we started it like four years ago or something like that. It wasn't that long ago, but we started it. Why are you asking me? Just stop talking.

We started it because there was the LA Times article about – I don't know why you started it, but I don't remember any LA Times article. I remember reading the LAT article, and I texted you saying, hey, we should do this, and you were like, I was thinking the same thing. But it was because of the article saying that their new album was going to come out. But that article came out like two years before the album actually ended up coming out. Well, I think the album got delayed, which was good for us because we kept – I'm sorry.

What did you just say? Delayed. Okay. Mon. Delayed Mon. Delayed Mon. Wait a minute. Is this an episode of Delayed Mon?

I believe it is. Hey, welcome to Delayed Mon. Delayed Mon. Delayed Mon. Delayed Mon. Good ep. Great ep. Oh, my God.

So we started a while ago. Sort of a racist ep. Yeah, the most racist. We started this a while ago to talk about the band U2, and we... Hey, U2. Hey, U2. Let's roll through the members of U2, because I feel like I'm a little hazy on it. It's been so long since we've done an ep. I don't even remember who is in this musical combination anymore.

It has been a while. Who do we have bringing up the rear? And when I say bringing up the rear. Talking about my butt. Who's fucking Scott of the butt? No, I'm talking about the backbone of the band. Oh, you're talking about the one that kind of lays it down. I'm talking about the rhythm.

The foundation for all the others to shake their little butts upon. He doesn't get a chance to shake his butt as much because he's sitting down on that drum riser. I'm talking about on the drums. What's his name again? Larry Mullen Sr.'s son. That's right. Larry Mullen Sr.'s son.

Okay, so we got him. Sometimes he, like, hops up from the stool and walks down to the smaller second stage. I bet. And just watching him a few times, that's his favorite part of the show. Shakes his little butt right on down there to the other stage. Just jaunts his little tushy right on down there. Now, of course, we all know when someone's laying down a beat. Sick, sick fucking beat. You got to down a beat. Sick, sick, fucking beat.

You got to add a little bit of those low notes. Bounce, bounce, bounce. Bounce, bounce, bounce. Bounce, bounce, bounce. You talking about the bass guitar, bro? The bass guitar. I'm talking about the four string. If you're in Primus, the two string.

Dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee. If you're in Primus, the two-string. Dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee. And on that, we have a guy by the name of Adam Clay, 2,000 pounds. That's his name. That is his name. Do not wear it out ever, ever. And of course, when you have a four-string guitar, what's better than that?

Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding? ding ding ding ding ding ding your imitations of these instruments these are instruments these are the instruments in the band I'm talking about the git fiddle I'm talking about the six string attack oh yeah who do we got on the guitar

sick riffs sick riffs that's right is that who's in the band? Sick Riffs? No. What's his name? I think the person you're talking about is Fedge.

Fedge! And his guitar tech is named Sick Riffs. Sick Riffs! And then, on the Vox, and that is a clue as to his name, you have the man with the pipes. Man with the plan. The conscience of the band. I don't know.

Is he? The Count Basie. You're always saying, oh, he's like the Marvin Gaye of the – Isn't that what they always say? Well, Count Basie was the leader of the Count Basie Orchestra. Is that what you mean to say? Or do you mean – is he black? Is that what you're trying to say?

No, no. Wasn't there like some soundbite that they used to say like, oh, he's the jazz man of the band? He definitely is the jazz man of the band. He definitely is the jazz man of the band. And I think what we have seen recently proves that. He is the jazz man. And when I say that, I mean the Billy Crystal doing his jazz man character from

Comic Relief. The best. The best. The best. Of course, we have Turtle on the Vokes. Right? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Turtle from Entourage? Sorry. Isn't he the lead singer of YouTube?

No, no, no, no. Turtle from Entourage. He was a character on the TV show Entourage. Wait a minute. Are we talking about Turtle? I think we might be. Hey, welcome to Talking About Turtle. This is Scott.

And this is Scott. We're just talking about Turtle. You know, it's been so long since Entourage was on and the Entourage movie. What's he up to these days? It's been two years since the movie, the T-E-M, the Entourage movie came out. And we're just talking about Turtle. We call it Tem. Tem, yeah, Tem, whatever.

Yeah, if we don't have time to say Entourage movie, we just say Tem. Say Tem. Hey, you see Tem this week? Yeah, I saw fucking Tem this week, bro. So what is Turtle up to? Obviously, when we last saw him, he was wooing Ronda Rousey. Wooing Ronda Rousey, and if I remember correctly— Wait, is this an episode of wooing Ronda Rousey?

I think it might be. Woo-hoo! Woo-hoo! ronda rousey i think it might be hey welcome to wooing ronda rousey this is scott this is scott and we're just talking about the best techniques to woo ronda rousey now according to turtle the best techniques are chase her in your car with all your buddies and And try to wrestle her. Try to wrestle her. Enter a competition to wrestle her. Right, for a date. Also, throw a giant party at your house.

Wait, that's one of them. But then there's also go on a date with her. There was some Uber mix-up in the movie. Do you remember that? Do you mean like the worst mix-up when you say uber mix-up or do you mean like when they took an uber there was a mix-up there was a mix-up with the car service like the uber men don't they go on a date and there's an uber thing where she's like i'm hey who are you talking to you're talking to a guy who watches tim every single week i know so what happened oh he

Good app. Great app. Anyway, we're still talking about Turtle. Talking about Turtle. What is Turtle up to these days? You know, there's no way of knowing unless we somehow are able to— To summon Jerry—

He was, which is, is by the way the theme song terrapin station to talking about turtle that's right great app terrific app wow it all the full circle a lot like a turtle's shell i was just glad we

Now, we love you two, obviously, and we've been talking about them exclusively during this app. But what are we going to be talking about today? We should take a break from talking about you two. I know, but we do have to get some business out and let people know what they're going to hear. Just some housekeeping? Yeah, just some housekeeping. You know, a lot like what we Hollywood stars like us pay people to do.

Yeah, yeah. Housekeeping. Weekly. Watch Pudding Awning. Stuff like that that you have people to do for you. Wait, someone is watching Pudding? I have a person that watches all of the pudding, as you do, I'm sure. Of course.

Let's not be in a play coy with me. I haven't downsized my house and gotten rid of my pudding watcher. No, who would? Who would? Who'd? In this episode, we're going to be talking about recent U2 activity up to, Aziza, up to and including the Joshua Tree Tour, which, guess what, sheeple? Adam and I, sheeple? Adam and I went to that tour, and we're going to be talking about our experience.

What do you think about that? Is this an episode of talking about our experience? experience. Hey, welcome to Talking About Our Experience. This is Scott. This is Scott. We were just talking about our experience, and the funny thing about talking about your experience is that everybody has their own perspective. Sure, So if I were to be talking about my experience, your experience listening to my experience would be very different. It's kind of like, just stay with me here. It's kind of a Rashomon. You lost me.

You lost me. Okay, okay. Let me start from the beginning. There was this movie Rashomon. That's the beginning of time? Yes. Before anything ever happened, specks of dust, anything, there was this movie Rashomon.

On DVD? No, it was before DVDs. So it just existed, but it was a movie. It was on Netflix. Oh, got it. There was this movie Rashomon on Netflix. And in that movie, there were different perspectives. Rashomon.

Exactly. Every character in the movie had their own say it with me perspectives sorry perspectives I was totally silent and you wanted me to say it with you okay say it with me

Knocked it way the fuck out of the park. Knocked it way the fuck out. Hey, birds up in the fucking clouds, look out for a baseball. Hey, jetliner, fuck you. We're knocking it out of the park. We're going to be talking about... Hey, spaceman, get the fuck out of the way. Hey, Marvin the Martian? Yeah.

Get the fuck out of the way. Yeah, get back to my childhood where you belong. We're hitting it out of the park. Yeah, get back to me laughing insanely at how funny you are as a child. What's up, moon? Fuck you. And when we say that, we mean moon unit Zappa. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Fuck you, moon unit Zappa. Which we mean in a friendly way. Yeah, of course. Like, fuck you. Hey, we're buddies. So we're going so we're gonna be talking about the joshua tree tour uh in recent huti news hey and uh we're gonna be having a great time while we do it that's our promise to you we're gonna be having a great time i'm not

sure about you don't particularly care if anyone else is having a good time. No, not at all. Adam, I got to – Yeah. Whoa. Before we get into it, before we get into it, I got to ask. Uh-huh. And not a day goes by that I do not wonder about this. Yeah. What in the fuck is going on with Harry Potter?

Oh, boy. Scott, you've kind of hit a bit of a nerve here. I mean, sometimes that could be a good thing if I were giving you one of my sensual massages. I mean the movie nerve with Dave Franco and Emma Roberts. Oh, of course you do. You hit a nerve. You hit one of my copies of... Okay, how many copies of Nerve do you own?

One for each room? I have two. Oh, so you have a two-room house? Yeah, and there's a copy of Nerve in every single room. What are the rooms in your house? What are the two rooms? There's the gravity room, the room where there is more gravity than you know what to do.

So not anti-gravity like a sort of a moon simulator. No, that's impossible. So when you walk into the room, you are pulled to the ground and find it hard to rise? Yes. If you grab, say, a pen, I'm holding a pen right now, so I'll use that as an example. Hey, not to tell secrets out of school, but Adam's holding a pen right now. A little inside baseball. I'm holding a purple Sharpie right now just because I'm signing autographs as we record.

It's very hard for you to record in between signing autographs, so you have to fit it in while we actually record. My weekdays are basically just long autograph sessions. How do you film things? I mean, do you just try to fit it all in on Sunday? I CG both of my arms out. Because you're filming. You're just like doing autographs really.

All day long. Wow. Would you like an autograph, by the way? Of course. Who are you asking? There you go. Hey, Adam. Why'd you add that special sauce to it?

That's how I sign an autograph. Here, let me do another one. This autograph stinks. Well, that's how I sign out up how are you supposed to sign just the signature that's all i want i don't want any of your residual dna all right let me sign one more and see if see if just give me a sec here and no thank you really Really? Yeah, keep it. Man, I make a fortune on these things. Let me do one more. Wait, are you selling your autograph to FartSniffers?

Dotcom? Yeah. Oh, okay. They're not into the signature at all. All they're into is the fart? That's all they're into. You can save so much time. Hmm.

By just, I don't even have to sign anything. No, just every time you need to fart. How many times do you fart a day? I remember Oprah said she farted 12 times a day. She did? Yes. No. She did?

Just to let you know that the average human farts 12 times a day. Why did she do that? The average human farts 12 times a day. Why did she do that? And what was weird was she saved them all up and did them in succession on her show. What? So as a human being, you- Wait. Yes.

Did she really say that? Yes. Why? I don't know. You got to fill up time when you're doing a daily show somehow look at what we're trying to do we're grasping at straws 19 seasons in you're like i sorry guys i have to tell them how many times i fart every day but how many times do you fart daily once just once and how long does it go it It's four hours long.

Okay. And is it while you're sleeping or is it when you're awake? No, it's when I'm working out. So you work out four hours a day? Four hours. You look good, man. Thanks, bro. You look really good. You smell terrible.

Thank you. Okay. How about you? How many times do you fart every day? You know, I try to keep it just at a real low amount, you know, approximately 358,263. Okay, that's a huge amount. Like that's, you're basically farting all day long then. Yeah, I mean, it's not a long fart. It's just several short staccato bursts. But I would argue that that adds up to one massive fart.

Okay. Sure, sure. It's a big, massive fart. You got me. You got me, Adam. It's a big, massive fart. Fair enough. Agree to disagree.

Good riddance. To what? To us agreeing? To me? What, you expect me to leave right now yeah if we disagree even if we agree on it you want me to leave agree to disagree scott fair enough good riddance i'm not leaving we're gonna finish this episode okay we made it all the way here i just had to say i had to get that out look enough you to you two talk. Yeah, sorry.

All right, let's get back to Harry Potter. When we last left you, you had been reading the third book in the series. Do you remember the title of that book? I don't.

I believe the prisoner of something. Azkaban? Azkaban! Azkaban! Azkaban! Azkaban! Azkaban! We haven't continued reading or watching the movies just because... Why was it? Daddy has no more free time?

Daddy has no more money to buy books. Because he... My son stopped being as interested. I think one of the movies freaked him out, and so we're just waiting a bit until we pick up Harry Potter again. So one of the movies freaked him out. I think it was not Azkaban. Maybe the one after Azkaban, which is the one where, like, Ralph Fiennes is, like, in a big, like, tornado and the other bad, the good guy. I don't fucking remember.

I think it's Harry Potter and the Dirty Sanchez. That's what it was. Who played Dirty Sanchez in that? I believe, it was so racist, but I believe it was Mel Rodriguez from Last Man on Earth. That's right. So to be 100% honest with you, Scott.

Take it up to 110. Take it up to 110. I'm going to take it to 110% honest with you. The whole Harry Potter thing has kind of been on hold. So we've been going forward with other books and been having a great time. What are these other books? Right now we're reading The Dungeoneers, which is terrific.

Sounds stupid. What? Why would you say that? It's just a title. Well, it's a dumb title. The Dungeoneers is a dumb title? Yeah, that's awful. Wait, now it's awful. Yeah, unequivocally bad. Why? Objectively terrible title. The Dungeoneers!

I mean, first of all, it sounds too much like the Dungarees. You mean pants? Yeah. But that's not what we're talking about. Even someone as stupid as you would agree it sounds almost exactly like the Dungarees. Now you're insulting me and my intelligence? Who else should I insult?

Oh, Dungarees. It doesn't sound like Dungarees. It's clearly a different word, Scott. I have been very clear in my assertion that it sounds exactly like the dungarees. You've been about as clear as a bucket of mud, Scott. Hey, that is the worst thing you have ever said to me. No. Take that back.

You want to hear the worst thing I've ever said to you? Yes. I can't do it. Come on, man. I want to know the worst thing that you've ever said to me. Yes. I can't do it. Come on, man. I want to know the worst thing that you've ever said to me. I can't say it to you. Here, come here.

I'll say it to you in private. Okay, okay. You want to step over here? Yeah, let's go. Okay. Scott. Yeah. What's up?

I'm going to say something to you. It's really terrible. Okay, I'm fine. I mean, you can't insult me. You know me. Yeah. Sorry, I'm just. I mean, you can't insult me. You know me. Sorry, I'm just a little rattled from our argument we had over there. I have to say, like, you know, I try and lead a life

of just even Steven. Yeah, no. Easy peasy, Japanesey. See, again, that's a little racist. Like, that's not something that, you know, you're supposed to throw in the conversation. Okay, so let me try to adjust. Easy breezy Barack Obama.

Let me adjust. Easy breezy a cover girl. No. No. No? No, no, no, no, no. Try another one. Okay.

Oh, most honorable. Easy. No. Again, all three of those are taking racial stereotypes and kind of blowing them up and making them even worse. Even more accurate. What? More accurate. Absolutely.

Why would you even think that I was doing an Asian – what is it about that that makes you racist to think that those were Asian? No, the third one it sounded like, and correct me if I'm wrong, is it the old man in Gremlins? The man who – which old man? Isn't there an old man that sells them the Gremlins? Well, there's the guy who buys the Gremlins. That's his dad. Hoyt Axton. Yeah, and then he gives the gremlins to another old man.

No, he buys the gremlins from an old man. If he's an old man, then he gives them to his son who's an old man. The son is not an old man. He seems really old to me. Zach Guilford is not an old man. Are you sure it's Guilford? No, I'm not. I believe it's Gil something, Gillian or something like that.

Gil, oh, it's Gil Jackson. Gil Jackson, Phil Jackson. It's Phil, oh, you're right, it is an old man. He's a very, very old man. But all those rings. You know what I can't believe? What's that? People listen to this.

Look, let's stop talking about YouTube for one second. Okay, sorry. Sorry, guys. All this fucking YouTube talk. Okay, YouTube. Did you say YouTube? YouTube talk. Are we talking about YouTube?

Talking about YouTube. Hey, guys. We're just talking about YouTube. This is Scott. And this is Scott. And what's on YouTube lately? Have they added anything? Yeah.

I just saw, I'll just throw one out there if you don't mind. Yeah. I saw a video the other day of a guy with a fidget spinner that he made out of dry ice. Dry ice? Dry ice fidget spinner. Did he get stuck to his skin? No, he had gloves on. He was not a fucking dumb shit.

Okay, I'm sorry. How about you, Scott? What did you see on YouTube? Jesus. Well, I saw the video with the guy. Okay, fine. You're going to let me tell you what the video was? Okay.

This has been talking about YouTube. Good app. That was a great one. That was really good. It was good. Very antagonistic show today. It is. What is it about us that brings out the antagonism? I think it's a direct reflection of where our country is. What is it about us that brings out the antagonism?

I think it's a direct reflection of where our country is, society at large. I think you'll find that when the country is in conflict— When we finally get behind Trump as a nation, then we're finally going to be able to unite. And it's like, he's our president. Let's just work. You know what? Give him a chance. Give him one chance. That's all we're asking's just work you know what give him a chance give him one chance all we're asking give him one chance give him a chance give him one chance please give him a chance give him a chance all we need to do is just agree with him for like three years just

give him just three years of a chance god like I don't know what everyone's problem is. I don't get it. I don't fucking get it. But yes, you're right. I view myself as the protagonist of this podcast, and you're the antagonist. What do you think about that? I think that's, I don't know. It makes me feel uncomfortable, but I also see what you're saying.

You know what I mean? I get it. Like, I'm on a hero's journey with this show and you're trying to drag me down. I don't know. I feel like that... Hmm. Adam, you're putting your fingers to your head.

Are you trying to poke your fingers into your skull? Oh my God. Adam is pretending to melt. Can anyone see me? Yeah, we're looking right at you.

No, seriously though, can anyone see me? Yes, you're a good actor. We all saw Tork. But I melted. But you can't pretend to melt without special effects so there's not just a puddle on the ground no you're not that good of an actor if you I promise you

in Gehosted if you ever without the aid of special effects melt into a puddle you will win best actor at the Emmys I've never seen anyone do that I was convinced that I had and that's all that matters. All that matters is that I believe it.

And then to you guys, hey, it's a puddle on the floor no matter what. If I believe it, you believe it. That's why you actually believed for a second there, and I know you did, that there was just a puddle of kind of human fluid on the ground. Okay, yeah. I thought you were human fluid. Right. And a puddle of human fluid on the ground. Okay, yeah, I thought you were human fluid. Right. And a puddle for just a second, but that's all I need.

That's all I need. And then I looked at you. I looked right at you. Then your conscious mind took over, you know, the grown-up in you. Sure, yeah, the old man. Yeah, it just ruins everything every time, you know. We all just have to remember, you know, just be kids. Hey, shut the fuck up.

Okay. Look. Can we stop talking? Can we please? God, their ears must be burning. I know. Those poor guys. Those poor guys.

Did we ever say what the lead singer of Hue 2 is? No. What's his name? We've met him, I think. I think it's Bonobos. Bonobos, of course, yes. So we've listed every person in the band successfully in this first segment. Every single one.

There's four of them. And we just said all their names. We said all their names in succession, and that's really all we wanted to achieve, as well as a Harry Potter update in this first segment. That that's right we probably need to take a break yeah from talking about so much youtube yeah and we need to pay the bills we need to keep these lights on keep the lights on guys you know what i'm saying what are you wait you just breathed heavily onto your watch it was getting a little foggy my watch watch putter on her has the day off.

Your pudding guy? The guy that watches all my pudding. Mm-hmm. By the way, you are wearing the same Hawaiian shirt, I believe,

as when I last saw you. Do you remember where that was? At Haiti. That's right. And we will talk about that in the next segment. That's right. Adam and I,

can you believe it, went to a Hue 2 concert. Not any Hue. A concert. Not any Hue 2 concert, but the Joshua Tree concert, its very own damn self. And we are going to talk about it in this next segment. That's right. We're going to talk about the Joshua Tree 2017 30th anniversary. We're going to do it when we return. Are you ready to do that when we come back here, Adam? Rock and roll, bro. So we're going to do it. Scott and Scott breaking down the Joshua Tree Tour. And let me just give you a little sneak peek.

We got a good seat. Uh, yeah. We'll tell you all about it when you talking you too to me returns after these messages. Sweet the sin, bitter the taste in my mouth. Well, it's little old me, Scotty Ox, reading the ads by myself again because Adam Scott is too much of a big shot. Stick around and do it with me. That's right. The minute the show ends. Sorry, man. Gotta go. He's gone. Well, you're stuck with just me. What would Adam say if he were still around, though,

and he wanted to talk about Lisa mattressresses. I don't think he's smart enough to talk about Lisa Mattresses personally because if anyone knows about Lisa Mattresses, it's gotta be me. I've talked about Lisa Mattresses more than I've ever said I love you to my wife. And that is a true statement.

That is as true as it gets. That is as honest as I get with you, the listener. All irony aside, I've talked about Lisa mattresses probably at least 30 times. And that's more times than I've told my wife I love her. Anyway, I love Lisa. Lisa mattress, what do we know about him?

Founded with a simple goal, certainly to help people sleep better of course and do they have an innovative direct-to-consumer online strategy no they don't oh i'm fucking with you no of course they do lisa's 100 american-made mattresses are challenging the traditional mattress industry you know the traditional mattress industry. Big mattress. They're going down. Forbes, even Forbes, named it one of the top 20 startups to watch, which apparently is something to be proud of.

Not to mention it was internet retailer, whatever that is. It was their fastest growing e-retailer in 2015. Who cares? Internet retailers' fastest growing e-retailer in 2015? Okay, you are really grasping at straws, Lisa. And it's B Corp certified. Wow, I thought you were grasping at straws the previous bit of info. That's even worse b corp certified i guarantee you lisa there is not a listener among us who cares that you are b corp certified but hey keep including it in your ads see for yourself why everyone including me is raving about lisa by trying it in your home. Oh, what is it? It's a mattress. Have we even said that? It's a mattress.

You'd think that information would be front-loaded. I guess I've mentioned mattresses, but you may be thinking that had something to do in a tertiary manner. It's a mattress. Try this Lisa mattress in your home 100 nights, risk-free. Choose from three different premium foam universal adaptive feel layers including the two inch avena foam top layer for cooling and breathability the two inch memory foam middle layer for body contouring or the six inch dense core support foam for durability so you choose

you choose from choose from three different foam layers? Or do you choose three of them? Lisa, I don't understand it, but I love it. Lisa mattresses are available online only in the US, UK, Canada, and Germany. What's going on in Germany? Why are you delivering there? Weird.

Or at the Lisa Dream Gallery in Soho, NYC, and they ship to you compressed in a box. With prices that start at just $525, what do you have to lose? What do you have to lose? Plus, for every 10 mattresses Lisa sells, they donate one to a shelter. They've already donated over 10,000 mattresses,

which tells me they have sold 100,000 mattresses. Ever since, they were named Internet Retailer's Fastest Growing E-Retailer in 2015. So you sell 10,000 of anything and you're one of Internet Retailer's Fastest Growing E-Retailers? I don't know. I don't get it. Right now, you can get $75 off a Leesa mattress with the offer code Bono. That's L-E-E-S-A.com. Offer code Bono for $75 off a Lisa mattress with the offer code Bono. That's L-E-E-S-A.com.

Offer code Bono for $75 off. Lisa, let's figure it out. Hands of steel and heart of stone. I'll live all day. Oh, that's right. Red Hill Mining Town. A classic track from the U2 record, The Joshua Tree,

which, as far as I'm concerned, is a U2 album. And is the focus, some would say the main reason why you two are touring this year is to celebrate the 30th anniversary of that album. 30 years. 30 years. 30 years. It goes by in a blink. Okay, let's take, say, five years. Okay, five years.

All right, so one, two, three, four, five. Okay, I'm on board. Okay. Say five years, okay? Five years. All right, so one, two, three, four, five. Okay, I'm on board. Okay.

Say you start, say June 1st, 2012. Okay, that's just a day. Oh, boy, you are bringing me back, but okay. Okay. June 1st, 2017, which is- By all accounts- As far as I'm concerned, today or tomorrow. Somewhere in there. Who even knows anymore?

Yeah. Five years right there. There's five years. Five years. Okay. And 2012 seems like a million years ago. Do you remember what you were doing on June 1st, 2012? I do.

What were you doing? I was sitting here with you. Oh, right. We were just dreaming up the rest of our lives. That's right. It took us a while, too. But we sat in this room for a long time. I don't think Earwolf had moved.

No, no. It moved here, too. They built the studio around us because we were so important. And our dreams were inspirational for those engineers. Mainly for engineers and construction people. Yeah. We changed some lives. This kind of stuff.

Mm-hmm. So that's five years. Now imagine that times 12 divided by two. 30 years, bro. 30 years right there. Amazing. Amazing how short life can be. We're here just really for the blink of an eye.

Just dropping the bucket. And then we're gone, you know what I mean? And we've spent several episodes talking about you two. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy that we're doing it. C-R-A-Z with a Y on there. Sometimes Y. Sometimes Y, certainly. So we went to this little old thing called a tour stop.

Yeah. We may have had a pretty cool parking space. A couple people you know might have left the house. Yeah. Space and... Some, a couple people you know might have left the house. Yeah, and we may have sauntered right into the old Rose Bowl. We might have strolled right in. Yeah, we may have picked up our tickets at the will call. Oh, yeah, they were waiting for us. Oh, yeah, will you call me?

Yes, I will, and you better have my tickets. Oh, yeah. Will you call me? Yes, I will. And you better have my tickets. Hello? Do you have my tickets? Yes, I do. Because you are going to see U2. U2 the band? That's right.

Oh, I can't wait to get to the Rose Bowl. Shut up. Just give me my tickets. Okay. What if dial tone sounded like that? Like a guy going. What if picking up tickets was like that, like the experience of picking up tickets? Oh, man, that's the dream.

That's the dream. Oh, when we got there and we saw the Will Cole line and we knew that those tickets were just burning a hole in that envelope. Oh, man. They did not want to give those puppies away. Oh, no. But we got those bad boys. They were bound by law to give us those tickets. Those were for us.

And no one else. No one else. Oh, yeah, they wanted to keep them. Oh, yeah. Yeah, who wouldn't? Anyone would have wanted to keep those bad boys i mean listen if uh joe smith walked up and he's like hey can i get those tickets over there they'd be like no this is scott ackerman and adam scott are coming to pick these tickets up and these are for them

sure not you joe smith sure joe we want to give them to you of course we would want to we want to give these incredible tickets to anyone in the world so they can experience what Adam Scott Aukerman experiences on a daily basis. That's right. But no. We are required. Negatory. Legally negatory.

To give these tickets to those two assholes. That's right. And we could have taken those tickets and made some buco dolores out there in the parking lot. Oh, man. Are you kidding me? We could have scraped up some major ducats. We could have gotten a little pocket change for those. Yeah, we could have sold those puppies out in the parking lot and gone out and ripped a hole in this town.

A little lettuce for our tomatoes, if you know what I mean. Yeah. A little more special sauce on that lettuce cheese. Huh, ladies? A few more dicks in my mouth. Yeah. Is that a – I don't know, but it sounded fine.

Sorry. Of course it did. Yeah, we went to go see the show. Yeah, we went to the concert. Yeah, that's a roundabout way of saying we went to go see a concert at the Rose Bowl. That's right. And who did we take? Whom did we take?

A couple of little ladies we like to call our wives. That's right. Our lawfully wedded wives. No one objected. Yeah. I stood up on that altar and not a single person in that crowd gave one objection to me marrying. When that little obligatory ceremonial. Sure. Oh, I know, obligatory, you know, ceremonial. Sure.

Oh, I was scared. Oh, sure. I was frightened out of my wits that someone was going to stand up. All you have to be is human to have just a moment of, oh, my God, is someone going to say something? And if they do, I'm going to have to get the fuck out of here. Oh, man, I'm going to shit my pants and run right out of this building. In our case, we were outside. But still, you know what I mean. Sure, sure. The building called Earth. Oh, man, I'm gonna shit my pants and run right out of this building. In our case, we were outside, but still. You know what I mean. Sure, sure. The building called Earth.

Yeah, yeah. The building of Earth and the lawn we were standing. Gotta run out of this building. Sure. If one single person had said, hey, I don't know about this, boom. I'm out of here. Ah, you run out. Slip out the back, Jack. No need to be coy, Roy.

Um, so, so yeah, we took uh we took cool up and uh what is your wife's name i never caught it while we were at the show shit um hold on let me i think it started with an x uh xavier no no no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no. I just... Are you texting her to find out what her name is? No, I'm just looking through my contacts here because... You have a lot of contacts. Look at those.

No. And it's all just descriptions of women. That's right. Brown hair. You have 86 entries for brown hair. You've got to get more specific. Oh, I have clear shoes. Clear?

70 of those. 70 clear shoes? Like clear stripper heels? Or what do you mean by clear? Do you mean like Scientology clear? Yeah, like they had their shoes go through. All the levels of Scientology until they were clear? X theta and all of that.

Okay, interesting. Naomi. through they're like all the levels of scientology until they were clear theta and all of that okay interesting um uh naomi okay wait is that the only person whose name is actually in there yeah okay that's a good descriptions and then naomi yeah that's right it was naomi that's right so uh yeah that's who was uh with us yeah was fun. Now, let's describe our experience, okay? Well, so we get there and we go to... Wait, is this an episode of Talking About Our Experience? I think it is. Hey, welcome to Talking About Our Experience. We're going to be describing experiences in this episode. Is that right, Scott? I am with your family. Experiences. The three things you do. Yeah, those three things mainly

are the experiences we like to talk about. But this week, we're going to go down a new road, a road we haven't gone down on this show. Which road is that, Scott? The road of... I don't know what we're going to be talking about. I don't know.

I don't know. We should have planned this app out before we actually did it. You jump in with like, we got this experience. We got this. And then we'll just wing it from there. Okay, great, great. Okay, great.

So we're going to be walking down the road and, hey, we got this. Yes, experience. And we went over there. And we did it. And no one can tell us that we didn't. We got it done. They'd be a dirty liar if they did. That's right.

Experience. Experience. Have you ever been experienced? Well, I have. Good app. That was a great app. Man, that was really good. So we went with our wives to the Rose Bowl,

and I'm trying to think of anything interesting that happened. Well, the first place we went was the Desert Tent, which is— That's right. We walked in, and we looked at our little tickies, and we saw— Little ticky-toos. On a few things we call lanyards, On a few things we call lanyards, there were little passes to a thing called the Desert Tent. The Desert Tent.

It was very nice of them to give us like passes and stuff. When we say them, we mean ticket vendors that we bought these from. Yes. We gave them thousands of dollars. That's right. And it was so nice of them. So kind of them in exchange for just a few thousand dollars to give us these tickets and backstage passes. It was so cool of them.

Really good guys. If you're ever looking for tickets, go find someone who sells tickets. Yeah, there's a bunch of them. You can find them on the internet. In exchange for a ton of money, you can get terrific tickets them on the internet yeah in exchange for uh thousands and thousands of dollars you can get terrific tickets anything you want anything you want in fact most things in life if you have that much money you can get whatever you want come sure you can buy come oh of course you can a lot of people don't know that a lot of people don't know that. A lot of people don't like to talk about it. But you can buy cum, and you can buy it from us. Yeah, we both sell.

If you're interested in cum, yeah, we sell it. Sure. So what was the first thing we did? I'm still talking about our cum business. I know, I know. Our side business. Our side gig. We walk in.

Yeah. And we see, sure, we see some people we know because the kind of people that we hang with, they're backstage. Yeah, like chilling backstage in the desert tent. In the desert tent. The desert tent was just a giant air-conditioned tent with a bar. Which, by the way, it did not feel like the desert because it was air-conditioned. It was a very hot day, and it was really nice in that tent. But it was huge.

I went around talking to everyone saying, hey, this shouldn't be called the desert tent. I know. And no one was thinking about that. No one cared. It was weird that you kept saying that. If anyone has never been backstage, let's describe it a little bit. There's probably no bar right right that's how i would picture it guess what what not only is there a bar but when you try to do what i normally do at a bar which is wad up dollar bills and throw them in the bartender's face yeah they say hey free drinks right but you can throw your dollar bills at the bartenders

anyway and they would take it as a tip yeah but we don't know we didn't know we didn't tip at all that's yeah that's you know that's not desert tent yeah and you just don't have to tip anymore no that's the thing no one carries cash anymore nope and tipping is a thing of the past sure yeah no yeah everyone who's ever who has tipped in the last 25 years no one i know and not me yeah so the two yeah those two you know and those two groups those two concentric circles. So we got to the desert tent and we had a few drinks, if you know what I mean. And then what happened after that? You know, Laura, one of U2's publicists, lovely Laura, who was nice enough to give us these tickets and stuff, came and got us. In exchange for thousands of dollars.

Thousands and thousands of dollars. Laura is running a side business where she sells. No, she is not. Yes, she is. She brought us back to a different room backstage. Now, this should have been called the desert tent. Right. Because it was hot as fuck.

It was very hot in this room. Very true. tent right because it was it was very hot very true we went from a nice air-conditioned tent with free drinks yeah to a small hot room yeah that ran out of beer did they run out of beer yes wow um and why i don't know because it's fucking restricted access bro yeah you can't bring just any beer back there. No, no. That's why they ran out of beer. Because the beer couldn't even get in.

Right. You saw the beer trying to get in. Yeah. And there was a doorman. He was like, no, sorry. Not today. The beer was like, come on, man. I got my girlfriend here.

Can't we get in? I got my girlfriend here and ice cream cake. Yeah, I got ice cream cake. I got my girl. I'm beer, bro. Mm-hmm. I've my girlfriend here and ice cream cake. Yeah, I got ice cream cake. I got my girl. I'm beer, bro. I've been saying bro. I feel like this is one of those things when you joke around and say something a lot. Yeah, you've been saying it

ironically for so long that you say it all the time. Yes. And you know what? I don't mind it at all. Oh, neither do I, bro. You have a bro code, don't you? Oh, Foley. Froley? Foley.

Oh, Foley. I thought you had some news like... Bro code, bro. Froley. Bro code. We were backstage in the super tight restricted access, which was a lot of fun, and let's name some of the people who were back there.

Who cares if we name celebrities and name drops? Scott Aukerman. Adam Scott. I didn't see anyone else there, but right there. Not a one. Right there. Pretty, pretty good. It was great.

And, oh, you know what? There was a cool, when we were walking to this room, there was a view. You look down this hall and you look down and at the end of the hall was just a wall of people because you look into the stadium and got a cool pic. Oh, we got to host that pic. Do we have a Flickr account? A Flickr account? How are we going to do this?

How are we going to host this pic this how are we gonna host this pick all right we'll figure it out look at that bro whoa okay now now this is very true yeah we were walking into the venue yeah and we were walking we were doing that like uh what were those pepsi commercials with like mean joe green or whatever you know we were we were like in the tunnels coming out onto the field and this is uh this is something not a lot of people get to do and you and i made a promise to each other we sure did and we promised to each other that within three years you and i were going to be playing professional ball yep on a team that played at the Rose Bowl. At the Rose Bowl.

And we would play in the actual Rose Bowl itself. On January 1st, 2020. Sometime within these next three years, we guarantee Adam and I will be, we are going to be playing professional ball at the Rose Bowl. And not only that, but we are guaranteeing the win. For sure. And we're going to be on the same team. And we're both going to be playing the position of quarterback.

That's right. And co-quarterbacks with our legs tied to each other. Co-quarterbacks, both on the field at the same time, because that's how you win the game. That's how you win the game. If you don't do that, you're not going you win the game. That's how you win the game. If you don't do that, you're not going to win the game. No, we guarantee you. Guarantee.

I would put everything on this. We will win the game. Football. If you are listening to this show, just write to us at Scott and Scott and say, I listened to the show. I'm taking your bet, because I'm betting every single listener $1 million

that that is going to happen. Every single person, $1 million. $1 million. $1 million. So that was fun. We were backstage, and we got to see celebrities such as ourselves. And then we also took a little recording of ourselves backstage to give yeah to give uh ourselves a little flavor of what it's like backstage so we hear it let's hear the one recording that we took backstage

this is scott and scott this is and by the way this is before we had even discussed doing another app sure no we hadn't even that wasn't even about it glimmer in our eye. No, we were like, we'll never do another rap. And Scott just shoves his stupid fucking phone in my face. All right, let's hear backstage exclusive access at the Rose Bowl. Hey, this is Scott. And this is Scott. We're backstage at the U2 Joshua Tree tour in the very warm lounge. This is very, very hot

and uncomfortable, but we're here with Matt Damon, so it makes it alright. Oh, yeah. If there's anything that's going to cool a person on, it's... Did you say cool a person on? I did. Anyway, this is Scott. And this is Scott. And this is Scott.

And we'll check back in a little later. So what is... Great app, first of all. Terrific app. That's all we recorded that night. Live at the Rose Bowl. Why didn't we do one like in the middle of the show? I don't know.

It's so stupid. Maybe we were watching the show and experiencing life. What did you say? Keeping... What was it? Something... If there's anything that will cool you on oh good stuff you know what is funny is that having naomi and and uh cool up there they were

profoundly embarrassed to be with they would repeatedly make fun of us like when we're watching youtube play they were taking pictures of us enjoying ourselves. There's nothing more demoralizing. What we should post is some of the pictures they took of us just standing there watching. And having a good time. Like that's something to be scoffed at. I know. And they just were after the show when we were home.

Naomi was like, hey, look at these pictures. It's hilarious. And it's just you and I just standing there watching. With smiles on our faces. Fuck you. Why do we take them? I don't know. And that was the thing.

I expected resounding no's from them. And they both really wanted to go. Why do they even like us? I know. We both thought we were going to be able to take our side pieces. Yep. And our wives said yes. But why do they love us?

Who knows? No, I was happy, so happy that Naomi wanted to go because I thought she would just be like, I think I'm good. But not only did they come to the show, they thought it was terrific. Yeah, and not only that, but we had a great time together and I really enjoyed hanging out as a foursome.

It was a terrific foursome. And our foursome after the show was incredible. That was spectacular. So, okay, so we moved out of that room and saw the actual show, and we're going to talk about the actual show after we take a break. So we're going to run it down, and you're going to get the exclusive deal on what we thought of the Joshua Tree Tour. And you're going to get this nowhere else. Nowhere else.

Yep, and every single episode is all about a different definition of the word fortune. So there's 500 different definitions of the word fortune? There will be once we're done with it.

Oh, so you're inventing new definitions. Well, we have to because there aren't actually 500 definitions. There's probably only like three. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It was an ill-conceived idea for a podcast. This is a bad, bad idea. But you know what?

We're committed to it. We're going to finish it. How many episodes have you actually done at this point? One. Okay, well, good luck to you. I'll definitely come over. Hit me back around the 490s. Oof. Okay. luck to you i'll i'll definitely come over uh hit me back around the 490s okay because as far as i know there is one definition for the word fortune we have to start uh can kind of go from there i

So get your spoiler hat on because we're going to be, you're going to feel like a fridge that's been left open for a week because everything is going to be spoiled. So now what happens first, and by the way way can we talk about where our seats are man we had some kick-ass seedage they were in the pit in the uh the red zone right in the red zone that's right we were uh we were in the red zone which is the pit sort of stage right?

Yeah. They were great. It was incredible. I don't know that I've ever been that close. Even when we went the last time with seats that the band offered us, we were not that close. No, this was terrific. This was terrific. And by the way, a little shout out to some people we met in the

Piat. We met some fans of the show who were every... Now when a little shout out to some people we met in the Piat. In the Piat. We met some fans of the show. Now when you and I go to a show together, in addition to our wives snickering at us, we will sometimes turn our heads to the right or to the left, and we'll see a couple of people sitting there staring at us and laughing. Fans of the show. And then when they approach us, our wives get even more ammunition for later.

But these guys were extra cool because... Do you want to unleash the... The Kraken? Yeah. These guys are in a band themselves, and a band that's almost as popular as the aforementioned Hew2. No, these guys were in the band, the Cold War Kids, and introduced themselves.

And look, I'm going to be honest with you. I'm a Cold War Kids fan. Yeah. I like this band. Nice guys. I've got all their records. I paid for them with my hard you work hard you work hard and it's so nice of them to give me these records because i give them thousands of dollars wait you

pay thousands of dollars for your cold war kids but i don't tip i do not tip okay then never mind so uh we met those guys and they were very very nice and uh yeah they were great uh and they were very, very nice. Yeah, they were great. And big U2 fans. They're big U2 fans. They were losing their minds during the show, and that was fun to see. So now let's talk about what happens. We're up there right by the neck of the stage. There's two stages.

There is the sort of proscenium stage that everyone can see, and then in the middle of the arena is a smaller stage. What do they call that? They call that the can see. And then in the middle of the arena is a smaller stage. What do they call that? They call that the B stage. Which they didn't use that much. They used it at the beginning. And then again at the end. B for beginning.

That's what it is. And they, in darkness, while the song, I believe, A Rainy Night in Soho by the Pogues is playing. Oh, by the way, shout out to the Undertones who sings Teenage Kicks which we heard during our little mini recording

in there the band walks out no just Larry Mullen walked out while house lights are still up he's the band right there's three other guys

there's three okay but Larry Mullen walked out before could you clear your god damn throat before you start talking

yes clear it that is the weirdest throat clear no you hummed basically how do you clear your throat you get all the flim never heard something like that let me clear my throat real quick

he just walks out by himself with house lights still up and everything something like that. All right. Let me clear my throat real quick. He just walks out by himself with house lights still up and everything. House lights, like almost as if he's unafraid of, if there was an assassin at the Rose Bowl who's like, okay, if I get a clear shot, I'm going to take it.

He doesn't give a shit about things like that. He just walks right out there like he owns the place. Cock of the walk. And starts the drum beat for Sunday Bloody Sunday. Dug-a-dug-a. Duh. It was pretty.

Dug-a-dug-a. Pretty. Dug-a-dug-a. C-O-O-L. Dung. Pretty nice. Pretty nice. And then one by one, they kind of all emerge and walk out to this small little stage.

Small little stage, which we're right by. Uh-huhhuh and we're like oh that's the band and that's right when naomi and kulop started making fun of us um okay so let's let's go through the first three songs okay because this is maybe one of the most uh hype starts to any concert I've seen. It was great. These three are unassailable. You got Sunday Bloody Sunday. They follow that up with a little song called, and a great holiday called New Year's Day. Yep.

And they follow that up with perhaps my favorite U2 song. You know it's Pride in the Name of Love. But you know, up until the night we saw them, they had been playing a sort of homecoming in this first little batch of songs. Which I loved that song too. And I was U2. Yeah, I wish they played it that night.

But we got some other treats. These were great. But those three songs are unassailable. I would say that the crowd for a sort of homecoming would maybe be like, oh, that's it. I don't know that a lot of the crowd would have known that song. This was like – Oh, you're right.

You're right. But it is a great song. But you're right. This is a perfect way to open up a show and get the crowd like – The crowd is incredibly pumped at this point. I mean those are three of the best U2 songs, and we haven't even gotten to the Joshua Tree record. Those three are amazing, right?

So then Pride ends, and kind of the lights go down, and then there's just that big... And we all took a moment of silence for Martin Luther King. Right. There's this big red glow from this giant screen on stage, which they hadn't used yet. By the way, this is the biggest screen of any concert yet now remember 20 years ago the pop tour where they have that giant screen yeah we thought that was big

this was that smaller than this that one 20 years ago yeah that was smaller than this well i don't i mean i remember it being huge i mean i'm sure the definition wasn't as good. I just, I would imagine this one was bigger. This one was bigger. This is the biggest LCD, I believe, or LED, maybe. LED, I think, screen that's been used in a concert. It stretched the entire length of the Rose Bowl, not the long way, but the- So the whole thing glowing red for the intro of Where Streets Have No Name was pretty amazing. And these guys walk and just stand in front of it like four fucking gods. And so everyone in the stadium can see their silhouette.

It was Willie Williams. This was a great design, I think. Who did you say? Willie Williams? Willie Williams is their stage designer. I just thought you were saying someone silly. Silly Willie Williams. It's a very pared down, simple stage.

To see something, yeah. I mean, there's not anything on the stage other than their instruments. And they're standing in front of this giant panoramic screen. It was a sight to behold behold that wasn't just showing them playing it was also showing like once the streets have no name got started i think or maybe it was the next song where it started it just that road going the road down the joshua tree like to see that to see them playing a song in front of this giant, giant backdrop was something I've never seen before. The definition is beyond HD.

I read something about it. I don't know what it is, but it's so clear that it felt like 3D almost. Three dimensions. Which means like three dimensions. Now, it in fact was two dimensions. It was. I'm saying it felt like it contained three of the dimensions. Now, it in fact was two dimensions. It was. I'm saying it felt like it contained three of the dimensions. To stupid people, it could feel three-dimensional.

If you're stupid, you'll think it's 3D. Mm-hmm. I did. That is the U2 promise. Yep. So now, this is the part where they say, okay, we're going to play the Joshua Tree album in its entirety. Yep.

We're going to play all of uh all of these songs which i believe there's 11 songs on the record that's right uh now the first three of these are classics you got where the streets have no name you got i still haven't found what i'm looking for and with or without you yep so now the first six songs of this concert are six of the best U2 songs and six songs that every single person in that arena knows. Yes. And people are losing their buttholes over this. There were buttholes everywhere that people couldn't find. After the show, by the way, I was just scooping up buttholes off the ground.

I was like, no one's going to pick these up. I'll take them home. Sure. scooping up buttholes off the ground. Just like, no one's going to pick these up. I'll take them home. Sure. So those six songs are maybe the best start to a concert that I have perhaps ever seen.

And they sounded very good. They sounded amazing. I mean, we've been seeing them now. 30 years ago was the first show that I ever saw from them. The Joshua Tree was the first tour that I ever saw. We've talked about that on a previous show. The sound has gotten so much better. Sound in concerts has just gotten so amazing that the sound, the visuals, crazy.

And I got to say, Bonobos was in very good voice. He was in rare form that evening. Okay, so. And then they continue, because they're playing the album In Order. In Order, yes. They go into Bullet the Blue Sky and that actually

is a minor hit. Yeah, but they've been playing it pretty regularly on all their tours. Some people know it. I wouldn't say that when people are like,

hey, what's your favorite U2 song? Bullet the Blue Sky, bro. Yeah. Although, Fedge does play the blues during it. Fedge does play the blues.

It's a good song. It's solid. I still prefer the album version. I think it's recorded really well. It's a cool recording. Yeah, look, I mean, when I heard it the first time, I was like, fuck. And then we go into Running to Stand Still. Yes.

Okay, and Running to Stand Still is another great song but not a not a hit necessarily an album track but you they haven't i don't think they've played that on tour since joshua tree i don't think they have yeah knowledge it was awesome to hear it the rest of it of the album it was just amazing to hear these songs live because they never play these they never play them so red hill mining town they did something interesting with the backdrop yeah which was they had a uh horn band a salvation army horn section playing which they have never done this song with a horn section it was like a new arrangement they have uh this salvation army horn band uh in the backdrop playing. Yeah. And I don't know how they keep the time next to this thing. Yeah.

But you two, God darn it. God darn it if they did it. They play right along with them. You know what? I would imagine it required some rehearsal. I think there's probably a conductor in the orchestra pit waving his arms up and down. Like at the Oscars, there's a conductor with a full orchestra. Like a Ray Parker Jr.

A conductor, like Ray Parker Jr. Yes, of course. So I thought the new arrangement of Red Hill and Mining Town was awesome. I thought it was okay. I maybe would have liked to have seen them just play it straight. Really? You weren't that into it? That's where maybe you and I did.

I wasn't not into it. I thought it was good, but I was a little like I like this song so much I don't know it didn't need a new arrangement but that's me I understand the need

to like okay the casual U2 fan I mean when you fill up the Rose Bowl you're gonna have a few casual U2 fans who wanna hear the hits I can

I understand the need to sort of jazz up the eye or like go oh this is different this isn't just U2 playing it. But I, as a YouTube fan, would have just been interested in hearing them play it. You know what I think? I think it would have been cool to see a new

arrangement for With or Without You or Still Haven't Found What I... One of those. And for these songs we never get to hear live, play it. Play something different for those. Like, make a new arrangement for a better known song and then for this one play it you know yeah yeah i agree i agree i always enjoy when a band

when you see a band i used to in fact that's i used to go see bands like uh i remember crowded house used to do that where they they would take their hits and do something really weird or interesting with them uh where you're like oh i've never heard that song before that way and then they would do their album tracks you know and just do like the best live version the tightest live version that being said i thought it was really cool the the kind of horn version it was it was definitely interesting i mean i'm glad i saw it i would maybe say uh i would i would be interested in seeing that once but but I would rather see it. Okay. So then they say, welcome to side two. We're flipping the record over, and this is where side two gets going in God's country.

Well, Red Hill Mining Town is actually – Oops, sorry. Did I skip over that? No. That's the one with the new arrangement. But Red Hill Mining Town was the first song on side two in actuality. But he didn't say welcome to side two till after red hill mining town so you're correct what i've i've inside two red hill mining i think i think in god's country is the first song on i'll bet you five dollars oh boy this is going to be interesting side to i'm looking it up um in god's country was rad yeah in god's country

is great am i right yes engineer cody brett says i am right in god's country there's no way i'm not why did you point at me and nod am i correct we have to we have to really work on how you communicate with human beings. Because you pointed at me, and I looked at you and said, am I right? And you nodded up and down. Am I right? You are right.

All right. Okay, so look. I listened to it on CD. You know? Wow, In God's Country and One Tree Hill were singles. They were, but not incredibly successful singles, but they were singles nonetheless.

Okay, so In God's Country was awesome. In God's Country, great. Yeah, I love that song. Trip Through Your Wires, I really like that song, and I haven't heard them play that in ages, and it's got that cool harmonica. I don't think Trip through your wires had ever been played like either that or red hill mining town had ever been played live until this tour right i mean i i love trips i feel like i've

seen them play trip through wires but i but maybe i'm wrong maybe it is red hill mining town um i really enjoyed trip through your wires it's a great song. One Tree Hill, Bingo, Bongo Bango. Yeah, that was great. That's a great song. That was dedicated to Chris Cornell. He did a little speech about Chris Cornell. Now, then comes a little song called Exit. And Bono does a costume change.

By the way, and this is something interesting I heard about Lady Gaga. You know, she does a lot of costume changes. Yes. And this is a rumor. This is like a Hollywood rumor. Yeah. I heard she does so many costume changes because she shits her pants during

her show. Every single time she does a costume change, it's because she shits her pants. So they have to bring like 25 costumes because she has bowel problems and she's constantly shitting her pants. Why would she choose to be an entertainer? I get the quest for fame. I don't know. It's crazy. I get it.

So when I saw Bono in a different outfit, I was like, did he just shit his pants? Oh, no. I don't think it's because he shit his pants. Do you think it's something he does every single night? No. If you go see the tour, gentle listener, and he changes his outfit before the song exit, let us know because I think he might have shit his pants. Well, I think, yes, it's something they do every night, but I don't think it's because

he shit his pants. But listen, I'm 99% sure there's still that one percent so we should check it out we should check it out okay so the song exit it's it's it's like they have to play the whole album because that's the tour that's the tour they got all they sold a lot of tickets by saying hey remember this record that you all like joshua tree we're gonna to play it in its entirety. Sounds great until you get to the song exit. Okay. This song, it's not that bad. It's just not a classic like everything else on the album.

I think that's being generous saying that the only problem with it is it's not a classic. Well, I mean, it's in Rattle & Hum. It was important enough that they had it in Rattle & Hum. It was a big enough deal that it just doesn't age well. It didn't age well. I was finding difficult. The band was connecting into Trump.

They played that video clip from a movie from the 50s or 60s where a guy named Trump comes into town, and he's going to build a wall around the town. It was really interesting. That was a cool, like, oh, wow, what a weird little movie. And they were trying to sort of thematically tie it to the present. They had to do something with it. They had to do something.

Because it's about a serial killer. That's what the song was. You don't say. Wasn't it the original song? I have no idea. About John Wayne Gacy? I thought it was about the... Richard Ramirez, the Night Stalker?

One of those guys. I'm serious. Is it really? Yeah, it was about like one of the... The one that Tommy Lee Jones played in the movie where he's like on death row. Yeah, The Fugitive. Wait, was he trying to kill Harrison Ford in that movie? No wonder he was running away.

It is from Harrison Ford's perspective. Yeah, so he came out kind of dressed like he was on the Joshua Tree tour. Sort of, and he was playing sort of like a preacher kind of character too. Sort of. I don't know. I thought they did a good job in making this sort of dated song that not everyone has been really listening to since then, interesting and kept the show going.

Right. If you forced me to reenact something I did 30 years ago, I would be embarrassed to do it. But that's the thing. It's cool that they went for it rather than skipping it. It would be interesting if one show, Bono came out and went, yeah, I know we're supposed to do the album in its entirety. We're just going to skip the next song.

Do any of you care? And then every single person in Unison goes, no. But I admire that they went for it. I admire their gumption. Yes. And that's all that needs to be said about that. And then, of course, you have the album Closer, Mothers of the Disappeared. Which is a beautiful song.

Yeah, that's nice. It's maybe not – it's great on album. It's maybe not the most dynamic of closers. And it's maybe not even like one of their classic closers, like the song 40 maybe or something. I thought it sounded good. It sounded really good but i won't i won't say like you know you know how when you're you're doing a show like the beginning is supposed to be the second best thing and the end is supposed to be the best thing this is like the beginning

was incredible and then the end is like hey these two songs are just it's almost like they should have finished the album and then done like done bad or something and then walked off for the honor. Yeah. Like really finish it off with a big bang. Or maybe they play the album backwards. They go, look, we said we were going to play it in its entirety. Like that? That gum you like is coming back in style.

What? We'll talk about it later. All right. Oh, that's right. We talked about this on the way to the show. You have never seen Twin Peaks. Oh, yeah, yeah. All right.

So on that note, they closed it out and said, and that was a little something we call Joshua Tree. Yep. They have a guy come out and say that. Ladies and gentlemen, that. And he did the whole thing he did the whole thing it was crazy um now we're in encore territory and uh this is where it's sort of you think that it sort of is gonna heat up again you're like okay you just had two

yeah that were okay yeah what do you think then you kick it off with after that? Like, walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away. No, they go to Miss Sarajevo. Miss Sarajevo was the... I know that they're still messing around with the set list and the encores, and I think this has changed since then. Yeah. It was interesting. Miss Sarajevo is a beautiful song.

A beautiful song. I don't know if that's the spot for it. I don't know if that's the spot for it. I don't know that that is the spot for it. I think you come back with something that like, boom, gets everyone's energy back. Yeah, and then go, and now we're playing Miss Sarajevo, and everyone's like, cool, well, I'm back on board. Let's hear it. It was definitely interesting. Or play it after the song they played next because that's the one that gets everyone going.

This is the one. And the next song is one of their best songs ever. You know it from The Unforgettable Fire and from Live Aid, where they played an incredible version of it, and they brought one of the people from the crowd up on stage, and Bono gave her a sweet old hug. Gave her like a 20-minute hug. Hey, would you like a 20 minute hug?

Bad. That's right. And not Michael Jackson's bad. No, we're not talking about MJ's bad. No, we're talking about the original bad. I thought it was a particularly great. That was fantastic. I didn't think they were going to play.

Let me just say, what I liked about the show, with the exception of Miss Sarajevo up to this point, is it's all songs from 1987 and before. Yeah. I loved that. It was like I was back watching YouTube back then. It was cool.

Because I went to the Joshua Tree Tour, and those were the songs that they had to play. They didn't, they weren't like in 1987, they were like, hey, we're going to play a little song that we're going to record in 13 years called Beautiful Day. Yeah, they didn't come out and do that, which is weird. It's weird. Why don't you do that, you two?

Like, why didn't they come out and play the miracle of Joey Ramone? Why didn't they play hold me thrill me kiss me kill me yeah okay so the second encore is where they kind of this is where they come into the the present day they started off with their probably their biggest hit post octoon baby yeah beautiful day yep And they play Beautiful Day And everyone's into it And we're all

We're all Locked arms And shaking our behinds Everyone's shaking their little butts And locking their arms And then And then they play another song From that very same album

And from the Tomb Raider soundtrack Elevation Which was also very good. I like that song a lot. That's a great song, and that was the tour opener for the All That You Can't Leave Behind tour, which brings...

The Elevation tour. That's right. Oh, that's true. That's what that tour was called. And then... Then we have the first song from their most classic album to a lot of people since the joshua tree actoon baby and you would think uh what would you think from actoon baby you would play mysterious ways yeah um the fly even better than the real even better no they play ultraviolet yeah which was on the 360 tour they played that right they must really like this song i think they do or they like the

concept of ultraviolets maybe they're real roy g biv heads i like this song too um i like the song too what do you think about that song? I think it's okay. It's not my favorite, but I was kind of jamming to it. I even like, it sort of dropped my mind what record it was from. And I asked you,

I was like, what record is this from? And you were like, Octoon Baby. You dumb shit. And then coming up next for the final song of this one particular set is one of the most classic songs

from Octoon Baby, which was also- Or Ever of theirs. Or Ever, yeah. the final song of this one particular set is uh one of the most classic songs from uh octoon baby which was also ever of them or ever yeah which was also the uh first dance at uh cyclops and the phoenix's wedding i read in a marvel comic from 1993 wow the other day uh one one they played with gusto with extreme gusto uh and that was also good god damn i'm i'm not totally remembering these this section of the concert for some i mean i remember it but i don't well can i tell a little story about what happened during this concert yeah during this section of the show yeah okay so previous to the show when we were in the desert tent uh kulop uh leans over to stroke my back you know give it a little pat sure you know give it a little up and down yeah sure you know what i'm saying uh and she feels something in the shirt and goes oh you have a tag in your shirt that we

should cut out when we get home and i'm like oh what is it and it's like in my back and i'm like sort of self-conscious about a tag in my shirt that you know in a newer shirt yeah that i need to that i need to cut really embarrassing or scratchy you know what i mean sometimes tags can can get very itchy so we're in the middle of the show uh in the in this encore section and i feel the tag what tag sort of scratching me, and it's in my arm. And I'm like, oh, God, there's another tag. And I reach over to, like, feel it,

and I go, oh, wait, no, this tag, I'm able to move it down through the sleeve of my arm. And I go, oh, I must have, like, something stuck in the sleeve of my arm or something. And Kulop's watching me do this, and I go, oh, I have something stuck in the sleeve of my arm or something. And Kulop's watching me do this. And I go, oh, I have something stuck in my arm. It goes all the way down through my sleeve. It is a giant beetle.

Huge. Huge. Huge. And I go, what is this? And Kulop goes, it's a bug. Yeah. And I drop it on the floor. By the way, we all took pictures of it.

Yeah. So we'll post those on the website. It was so fucking disgusting. It was really weird. And it, you know how when you find a bug on you, you just feel like itchy? Oh, it's the worst. I felt itchy and weird the entire rest of the show. Yeah, you feel like you're filled with bugs.

I feel like, am I dirty? No, but then you look down at the Rose Bowl floor, and it's just like the dirtiest place. It's an ancient. That means a beetle crawled up your leg and into your shirt and started just hanging out. And then Naomi was kind of like, well, maybe it dropped from above us, and that was no better.

Yeah. And then I told the story about a wasp in my pants. Oh, yeah. You told the story about how youp in my pants. Oh, yeah. You told the story about how you – I was talking to Ione Sky in 1995. Right. And you were like, oh, I got this on lock. Well, no. But I was nervous talking to her.

The star of Say Anything. Yeah. And then I was like, huh, something kind of hurts. And I had to excuse myself. It was like a big group of people. I was like, I have to go in the bathroom for a second. I go in and open my pants, and there's a wasp in my pants. And it had stung me multiple times.

Multiple times, and your penis had swollen up to one inch. That's right. It was huge. And you went back to Ioni Sky and said look look at this it happened um so i i was distracted i have to say i was distracted by having a bug arm i think maybe i was distracted by that as well yeah so this part of the show plus look i'm gonna be honest i took an edible yeah yeah you did and i did. And I don't, you know. That's right.

Who knows what was happening with me at this moment in time. But I was enjoying myself. But I don't recall the exact specifics of what was going down. But then they had one more song to play. They had one more song. And this was, and I have never seen, I don't think I've ever seen a band do this. This was unprecedented in my concert going experience the band hue 2 played a new song to close the show yeah i've never seen that before

to close to close the show and guess what it was really good and people were into it was awesome and they as a band don't really play new songs. It's not really. REM used to do it a lot. Yeah. I don't remember them ever playing a song before it's come out on record. It's awesome. It was a good song.

It was really good. In fact, we have a clip of them doing it on Jimmy Kimmel. This is The Little Things That Give You Away. I want to hear just a little bit of it because it kicked a fair amount of butt cheek. Yeah. Okay, here we go. It's catchy. It has a good hook and stuff.

It's good. Chorus. I don't remember him when he played some songs from the next record. I don't remember him playing this. No, some people, some listeners have written to us saying, is this one of the songs that he played? No, it's not.

But the stuff he played was very, it was in this sort of tone. It was, well, one of the songs was, but it wasn't this one. A lot of the stuff that he played was more like driving. You know, what's interesting is I read this interview

where he said that Steve Lillywhite came in and had them re-record all of the songs live in the studio. Really? Yeah. I wonder if they'll release both versions of it. I don't know. What are they doing? I don't know.

They played us great shit. I know. Just put it out. It sounded so good. Yeah. So this is more in the sort of one kind of minor key-ish. Yeah. And then it gets really like rocking at the end.

It was a great way to close the show. Cut a little more towards the end of it if you could. Yeah, here we go. This is where it starts sounding like classic YouTube. Yeah, yeah. There you go. There we go. It's a beautiful day. Yep.

That's it. All right. Yeah, it was really good. It was really good. I'd never seen that, and I'd forgotten about the bug at that point. The bug was super into that song, too. The Bug was fucking jamming next to us. So all in all, I thought it was a really, really good show.

That was really good. Yeah. And everyone at the venue at the Rose Bowl treated us really, really well. Some really nice people who work there. Very much so. Thank you again to Laura, as usual. Yeah, of course. And thank you to the band, you two.

By the way, we didn't get to see the Lumineers. Yeah. More like the Luminos. The Lumen didn't see them. Yeah, didn't see them. They're a good band, though. They're a good band. I like them, but we just didn't see them.

And – Should we mention the new t-shirts? Yeah. Let's talk about the new t-shirts because that's really why we're recording yep that's why we're here fucking t-shirts uh we have a couple of new shirts in the store today and a new you talking you to to me shirts we have a uh first of all what i would call the college girl shirt yeah i think i think you would call it that because it says college girls yeah probably so i'm accurate yeah um and we also have uh a shirt that is it looks kind of like how would you describe it it looks sort of like a joshua tree shirt but it has a picture

of you from the movie torque holding a gun it says you talking you two to me on it and it's very funny. Yeah, it's cool. I like both of those. Really funny shirts. Those are going to be for sale? They're in the store today. They're for sale today.

Yeah, so go check those out. Great. We also have a bit of sad business to our friends in Tennessee. Yeah. Sorry you live in Tennessee. Yeah. Sorry you live in Tennessee.
