Side One/Side B with Dave and Steve
A punk and a metalhead started a podcast because they want to show each other records and they both have ADHD and need to make the other listen to and now they're going to make you listen to them. Side One/Side B with Dave & Steve is a podcast put together with two bandmates with ADHD who have a similar Venn diagram of music tastes, but Dave comes at it from the punk perspective and Steve from the heavy metal perspective. It’s kind of like crossfire, except we don’t hate each other, or make Jon Stewart sad.
Side One/Side B with Dave and Steve
"Nobody sees you got me down on my knees!" SEASON 2 FINALE! We are looking at a compilation from American soft rock group BREAD entitled, THE BEST OF BREAD (1973). An album that just kind of appeared in Sean's collection and most of us are unfamiliar with
Check out Jacob's band Robo Dojo
Bread were an American soft rock band from Los Angeles, California. They had 13 songs chart on the Billboard Hot 100 between 1970 and 1977.[2]
The band was fronted by David Gates (vocals, bass guitar, guitar, keyboards, violin, viola, percussion) with Jimmy Griffin (vocals, guitar, keyboards, percussion) and Robb Royer (bass guitar, guitar, flute, keyboards, percussion, recorder, backing vocals). On their first album session musicians Ron Edgar played drums and Jim Gordon played drums, percussion, and piano. Mike Botts became their permanent drummer when he joined in the summer of 1969, and Larry Knechtel replaced Royer in 1971, playing keyboards, bass guitar, guitar, and harmonica.

down on my knees is the name of one of the songs these names the names of these songs are fucking like the most like generic names i've ever seen let your love go trucking bread wants to make it with you You know, if we were listening to the CD version, there'd be an additional, like, fucking 7 tracks. The CD version, essentially, just the best of bread one and 2 smashed together. I noticed. I like that one of the chapters on Wikipedia is life after bread. Do you believe? Are they, like They have to be, like, a Christian band or something. I don't know. The Make it with you. It doesn't sound like a Christian song. I don't think so But the name of the album is called on the waters That it came from you know what band was surprisingly Christian that I discovered recently there are one hit wonder what? After the fire. They're the band that did the don't turn around. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. That was a cover. That was a cover. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, I guess the rest of their songs could be anything. Yeah. That is funny, though. Although it's funny, it was a cover of an artist who was a one-hit wonder with a different song. I've probably heard the song, Make It With You, because it sounds familiar. Yeah. I bet you we're going to recognize a lot of these songs. I kind of hope that Down On My Knees is the song from that South Park episode that Cartman makes about Jesus. I want to get down on my knees and start pleasing Jesus. We all thought of that immediately, yes. pretty sure it's like, I wanna make it with you. So you guys really love Jesus, then? You, like, really love Jesus. Honestly, that's still my favorite episode of the show. Either that or the, uh, like, well, it's either that one or the one where they buy a bunch of cheap ninja weapons at the county fair and accidentally put a throwing star through Butter's eye. Mine is still Scott Tetherman must die. That one's good. That one was a little shocking at first, just with how dark it got. But yeah, the joke really works. It's just like I was surprised that they actually went there. I don't know if it's my favorite, but the World of Warcraft episodes still stick out. Oh, yeah. Well, the part where Cartman calls his mom so he can shit in a fucking Yeah, that's one of their grosser sight gags. Yeah. And that's saying something. Well, this is embarrassing, but I bought Paul Stanley's solo album because of that episode. Because that's the during the montage scene. That's a Paul Stanley solo song. I had a roommate who like was buying all of the seasons of South Park on DVD and they would did commentary on every episode, but they would do like only commentary for like the first 5 minutes of it. And then they would get bored and stop the commentary and move on to the next one. Yeah. And you could tell when it was an episode that they hated, they'd be like, sorry, we ran out of time on this one. It kind of falls apart. See ya. Well, they were their turnaround time on those episodes are amazing. Yeah. Which is why there are some episodes that they feel they have to apologize for, too, though. Yeah. This episode should not be watched by anyone. Yeah. I like the Casa Bonita episode too. That one's good. Oh, okay. That might be my favorite one. Especially since like, I had a friend that like went there, so he would tell me about it. Yeah. So I would have like this mythical fantasy view of it. And then when I finally went there with Jill in like, I was like, What the fuck? See, I loved going there as a kid. I've never tried going there as an adult. I don't think I would enjoy it as an adult. I've never been there. My mom grew up there. We went there. It was like, you know, this little place in a strip mall. Basically, they had inedible food and I had to eat popcorn in order to survive. And they had the same gorilla show that was going on since like the seventies. Same gorilla suit, everything. I think I liked their sopapillas when I was a kid. Oh, their sopapillas were good. I just didn't like sopapillas. I remember liking the entertainment but not liking the food. And I think I've heard that they've fixed that since they took it over. Yeah. Like, I remember overhearing my parents say that the food wasn't very good. Yeah, when you're a kid, you probably don't notice. Yeah. And then, like, as I did get older and had, like better authentic Mexican food, I could probably I would probably agree with that. You know, like, when I was a kid, it's like, oh, cool. Soapapillas and beans and rice and tacos, yeah. Well, it's kind of like when you're a kid, like, all-you-can-eat buffets are, like, awesome. Yeah. And, like, you can eat a ton of shit, and then now when you go to them, you're like This is under a heat lamp. This is just This is just edible. It's not, like What I'd really choose to eat if I could. Is this roast beef supposed to be gray? Well, the rest of this buffet looks a little bit gross, but the seafood salad, that should be fine. I remember, though, when I was One of my first memories of when I was a kid It was not fine. I think I was, like, three, and I remember this, but I Like, it was one of the first times my parents took me to, like, the Valentino's buffet, and I Grand Italian. Yeah. I I ate so much that I threw up all over the floor in the middle of Alatino's. But I remember, yeah, like, as a kid, like, going up to the salad bar and being like, there's jello on the salad bar. And so, you know, like, put, like, a little bit of lettuce and cover it with, like, cheese and ham bits and then, like, jello and pudding. Oh, yeah. I do remember liking the salad bar at Spaghetti Works. Yeah, I like salad bars. I like salads. Salads are good. It's good to I do tend to like Chinese buffets. That seems to be good. Have you been to the Golden Apple one? I think so. It's alright. Oh, I tend to like I like salad bars, but sometimes when you go to a salad bar and the restaurant isn't good, you're getting, like, a bunch of brown lettuce that has been sitting out for too long. Oh, yeah. There's one close to where my stepmom lives that has a Mongolian grill, and it's, like, better than Wuhan. Yeah. I remember, though, one time Steve, you took a bunch of us to Family Fun Center and we got the coupon with the pizza buffet. And I went through the salad bar and I was the only one that went through the salad bar because I noticed that the lettuce was actually crisp and green. And it's like, okay, if I'm going to go through the Family Fun Center pizza buffet and the salad is actually fresh This is like the only time it's going to be fresh probably. So I'm going to get one. And Kyle made fun of me for going through the salad bar. It's like, dude, the lettuce is fresh. You get the salad if the lettuce is fresh. That's the first time Kyle and Adam like met too. It was me getting all of us together to play a paintless paintball. Yeah. Oh, I wish I had places still there. I would make us do that again. Paintless paintball was fun, except like that time it was fun. A different time that I went, I did get like between the vest and the mask, like right in the neck. And that hurt a lot. Yeah, I bet. Yeah. I guess, do you guys want to get started? Yeah, let's get started. hello and welcome to the season finale of side one side b i'm steve i'm dave i'm andrew i'm sean and today we're listening to an album that 34ths of us have not listened to going to have another guest later on. I'm not sure if he's heard this or not, so we'll find out. We'll find out. Yeah. So, yeah, let's bullshit a bit about the season. Dave, how'd you feel about the season? As a whole, I thought it was pretty good. I felt like maybe it went a little long at times, just listening to the outro as it keeps going and going and going. But yeah, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the new guests we've had. I've liked ways that we've branched out. I'm glad that we actually did a couple movie episodes. I've liked some of the weird guest combos and like making, uh, different friend groups interact with them, like work friends and music friends all in one room. Yeah. It is interesting when, uh, when you mix different friend groups together, you never, you never know what to, what to expect during that. Yeah. Um, everyone, everyone who I've had, I think I would like to come back. Jake, Jake. Hey, just in time. We just got started. This is going to be another one of those weird episodes, right? Yes. Well, if I'm on the episode, it's weird. Yeah, good to see you guys. I'm glad I caught it before the drop of the needle. You're looking forward to hearing this album, which we haven't said the name of yet, although people will read the podcast description. I do know what album it is. How familiar are you, without spoiling it for the 3 of us who have not heard this, how familiar are you with this? Without spoiling it? Yeah. Okay. Are you familiar with bread and his music? Oh, yeah. I was going to make a joke about how I have a gluten intolerance. I have a bread intolerance. You're eating crackers right now, Jake. I lied. In front of me, I'm probably lying. Or maybe I'm not. I do not like the 2 or one songs that I've heard from bread. And maybe I just need to give them another chance. I'm expecting this to be boring. I'm expecting this to sound like. Like the Chicago ballads everyone hates, basically. Without the horns, though. The way that my dad and his buddy John described it was that while he was in the senior lounge at high school trying to play Mata Hoople and Uriah Heep, all the chicks wanted to play bread. Well, it's funny. That's how I feel about bread. I don't know. I need to give them another listen. I've never, I've never, even though this is actually my album, I've never actually listened to it. I don't think I've heard a song by them, but I probably have, but we're getting ahead of ourselves. I imagine that I've heard a song by them when I've been like, helping a friend move in, like, a rental truck, you know, like a big one with, like, the big open back area, and, you know, like, you get those, and you load up multiple couches and bookcases and all that, and it doesn't have any kind of CD player or tape deck even, or in the modern age bluetooth sync so you have to listen to the radio and i'm sure that we have flipped past bread while trying to find something and maybe we've lingered on bread because the other station was uh the was toby key or nickelback who knows well funny story about uh Sean's album here is he, he's left it in my like record bin for 6, 6, 7 months. Yeah. And, uh, my dad, uh, who recently passes, how many, you know, uh, he was over here flipping through my records, And he was standing there with my stepmom, and he pulls it out, and he goes, Sandy, look, the best of bread. And they're like, oh, yeah, oh, I love bread. And I'm like, we're about to trash that on a podcast. I think it's like boomer ballad kind of easy listening, kind of mid to early seventies easy listening. I have an unresearched suspicion that that's what it is, just looking at the fucking cover of it. Those guys on the cover of that fucking Best of Bread are the whitest looking dudes I've ever seen in my life. Yeah, looking at the front of this, this looks like the kind of music that the bullies from Carrie would listen to. Plug it up. Well, let's talk a bit about the band. It's fronted by. I don't want to. You don't want to. Fuck those guys. But you can if you want to. You can. I'm hoping they win me over. I just got. I was on the way here. I was listening to the album Aqualung by Jethro Tull. Oh, great. I'm thinking that this is going to be very much different. I think you're going to be right on that. Yeah. It was all rock and roll at that time. I think it would have been around the same era, right? It definitely was. This is like, this is like, All right, we'll take a vote. Who wants to hear about the band and who doesn't? I'll hear about the band. Yeah, just do it. Just because we need something for people to listen to. Listen, you know. Well, the main dude, because every band's got to have a main dude, is David Gates. Is he the white guy? Yes. Is he a serial killer? Non0 chance of that. Oh, I'm flipping. I better turn my mic down. Yeah, you're peaking. or stop uh stop lip kissing stop kissing the mic he first came to attention in the late 19 fifties when he released a song called joe baby and loving at night You can see where Dave started. I just did the Lex and Jerry thing of blowing the mic. We're looking at the mic waveform. You can see it. Jesus Christ. They left their stains on the I do like that you guys are going to rebel. This is how much we like the band Bread. We'd rather make jokes about you guys fellatiating the microphones than listen to the bio. Who wants to hear about how the band got its name? How did the band get its name? They were cooking one day. A bread truck came along right when we were trying to think of a name. It's about as fucking boring as I thought it would be. Was David Gates the lead singer and guitar player or was he the drummer? Let's see. I'm voting for guitar player. Looks like vocals, guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, violin, viola, and percussion. All right. A little bit of everything, except drums. Well, percussion. Well, that's not drums, though. That's percussion. Naming your band after a bread truck that you happened across seems like something that people my dad age would probably get a real kick out of. Yeah. You know, we need something that sounds really white. Was it a Wonder Bread truck? Really, really white. We're white. They should have just named it Bleach Bread. Jesus Christ. so david gates uh he knew a guy named leon russell oh i know leon russell yeah leon russell good guy uh they both played in uh bar bands around the tulsa area and then they they went to california you know this is basically the same story as tom petty because i've been watching a bunch of yeah uh isn't tulsa oklahoma It is. Is that where Flaming Lips are from? I think they're from Oklahoma City. Oh, okay. Yeah. Hanson is from Tulsa. For real? Yeah. I've been to Tulsa. Well, I guess the other thing The Flaming Lips didn't really like, oh, let's make it big in California. They were just like, well, we're kind of just going to play a bunch of songs in parking lots for some friends. We love drugs. Let's do drugs. That's how Brad did it. I wonder if these guys did drugs or if they didn't do drugs. They look like coke. I do think it's funny that some of the most boring, slow-tempo ballads are fueled entirely by cocaine. It's it's also kind of interesting for me to think about the album cover and be like, oh, this was probably kind of edgy at the time because they're like one of those bands that was like probably forming and like 68 or something. And they're like, let's grow out our hair. And then their hair just grew out over like 3 years and. Yeah, that would have been shocking to some parents. Yeah. I remember the first time I heard of bread and then never proceeded to listen to them was a friend of mine in middle school. His parents were talking about a conservative Bible college that they'd been to, and they were like, yeah, they wouldn't even let us go to a bread concert. My friend and I were like, there's a band called bread. That would be Pensacola. Yeah. I think it was. Yeah. Isn't that like kind of what bread is? I bet. Yeah. The picture I would get through and ask out on these bad boys. Yeah. So I, The first time I heard of bread was flipping through my records, because I've done it several times. I'll flip through my records and be like, best of bread? Where the fuck did that come from? And I'll put it down and forget about it. Then I'll like flip through it again. Best of bread. Where the fuck did that come from? Put it down. Forget about it. And then we did this. We were doing this podcast and I like best of bread, dude, we need to do best of bread. You know who would, you know, who'd be a good guest that we've never had on the podcast yet, but we should. for this episode would maybe be like phil smith because there's like a twenty percent chance that he'd be like oh there's one song on it's really awesome or yeah yeah and then you'd listen to it and you're like it is kind of undeniable yeah i think the first time I heard of bread was they were doing an infomercial about them in the nineties when I was watching Nick at night. All right. So new from timeline. Hey, is that, um, what was that one? The punk rock one that, Hey, is that freedom rock? Turn it up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. the punk rock one is really awful oh yeah they're all huey lewis in the news yeah on a punk rock compilation he's that you know it's punk rock because he was wearing a leather jacket who's in charge of that uh who's the editor of that one you know idiot yeah time life Alright, so the group's first album, Bread, was released. Wow, that was original. It was released in September, and peaked at number on the Billboard. The songwriting on the album was split evenly between Gates and the team of Griffin Royer. Session musicians Jim Gordon and Ron Edgar accompanied the band. Jim Gordon? Commissioner Gordon? Yes. Accompanied the band on drums for the album. You'll write better songs, Jim. Swear to me. Swear to me. Swear to me you'll sing above a whisper. I'll make it with you. It does seem like something that would have been character for the Jim Gordon in the Harley Quinn animated series, but that's all right. It seems like something Jim Gordon would have done before he became the commissioner. Or is it commissioner? Commissioner, yes. Commissioner Gordon. Have you ever seen the movie The People's Joker that skirted by copyright laws for some reason? Uh-oh. There's a joke in it where The main character is watching a TV show, like a TV show, and it says suicide cop. I haven't seen it. What year did that come out? Like, one or 2 years ago. Oh, really? Yeah. The People's Joker. Yeah. It's funny. We'll watch it on the podcast at some point, maybe. It's music-related, I think. I can come up with a reason why. I'm trying my best not to smulch while on microphone. Thanks for being professional, Jake. I'm trying. I do. I have to sneak snacks in because it's been a crazy busy day. On their second album, they brought in Mike Botts as their permanent drummer. Excuse me? Mike Botts? Mike Botts. He appeared on their second album, On the Waters, this time. Mike Botts. Mike Crotch. Mike Crotch. Mike Hunt. This time, their efforts established. Lou Skunt. Lou Skunt. This time their efforts quickly established bread is a bitch. Guys, should we just fucking play the first side? I really hope our audience doesn't come to us with facts. Nobody fucking cares about bread on Wikipedia. They couldn't even get through the bread bio. Fuck. Fuck. I wanted to know how they recorded the fucking second album. And then they wouldn't fucking do it. They just kept laughing at the name of my bots. We're going to get like a lot of traffic from Angry Bread super fans. Bread's my favorite. Just like when I posted our Ace Frehley episode in the Kiss subreddit. And they got mad at me. I'm going to see if Bread has a subreddit. There is no fucking way that there is a bread subreddit. There is a subreddit for everything. It is a multi-platinum compilation. I think it's more of a subreddit than anything. All right, just to sum up the band, it's about as boring as you think. They moved to California, they formed a band. They got fucked. And they wrote a bunch of love songs. And they can go fuck themselves. So let's talk about the album that we're going to listen to today. Yeah. I got a question real quick. Okay. Is there any mention of any other bands that any of these guys are in? Let's see. There's an after bread market. I did find a subreddit. There's a moldy bread. There are 3 posts on it. There are spin-offs called Black Tie and The Remingtons. They needed to call themselves Mold. Mold. 2 of the members started a contemporary Christian rock group called Wafer. Body of Christ, the bread of heaven. The bread of life. The body of Christ. The bread was too controversial, so they had to become unleavened. I want to start praising Jesus and feel his glory all over my face. All right, so the best of bread is a multi-platinum compilation. There are 38 members of its subreddit. We should post this. Well, you're going to have to do it because I'm bad. Dave, don't get banned from the website. Curse of bread. Don't do it. So this is a multi-platinum album, huh? I can't get through it. I can't believe this piece of shit is a multi-platinum album. You haven't even listened to it. It's fine. Oh, okay. Yeah, it's fine. Sorry. The music in your shoe is a lot different back then, you know. yeah bands like bread could like make more money than you know the beatles are god the great musicians that i know yeah actually that's true jake just said something sad do you think do you think the members of bread ever met the members of action black flag like in the We played a tour. We played a show with them at the American Legion. Yeah. Black flag open for us. It was fine. All right. There are 6 songs on side one. Really? And they all have very generic titles that don't have My favorite is If. Yeah, If. If. If what? If this. If these. If you do a podcast about this album. I just noticed that there's not anything from their first album. Oh, we didn't describe the cover. We didn't describe the cover, Steve. What's the cover look like, Steve? The cover looks like a very hellish version of Highway to Hell by ACDC. It's like the antithesis of Highway to Hell by ACDC. I think it looks like Kiss's first album. Oh, my God. Someone needs to take a marker and put some Kiss paint on the bread album. We should try to recreate this cover for our album. The guy in the bottom left corner looks like if the older brother from Napoleon Dynamite grew his hair out. Yeah, it does. It looks like if a It did if it was like, you know I bet you I like this better than Kiss. Yeah, there's probably a If I went to rock and roll all night and party every day. Alright, so side one. We got Make It With You, Everything I Own, Diary, Baby Ima Want You. Baby Ima Want You. That's not even proper English, you motherfucker. It Don't Matter To Me, and If. If I remember this record tomorrow. Ifs and buts were candies and nuts, it'd be Christmas all year round. That's what the lyrics to that song are. Just kidding. I could imagine that it's going to be awesome. It's going to be so awesome. If you turn it around, I feel like the picture they used for the back is better than the cover. You know what? That kind of reminds me of Interstellar, just the way they would use the dust and the special effects. Yeah, yeah. If they'd actually, you know, put it in color, but it's all like sepia color. Yeah, they're being beamed up like Star Trek style, it looks like. They're all big nerds from the seventies. Oh, yeah. We didn't talk about how this this was released by Electra Records. Yeah. Label Mates with Metallica. And the Doors and the Stooges. Yeah. And television. Probably MC 5. I think MC 5. Yeah. Well, I don't know. We'll do, we'll do kick out the jams next season and then find out if it was Electra then. Well, all right. Shall we? Shall we? This is where Electra made all their money to pay Iggy Pop. So yeah. Fight the bullet. Oh, yes. The redistribution of wealth. Yes. Best of bread. Platinum album. Here we go. Yeah. They made all that money and then Iggy got to spend it on heroin in the shooting gallery and the fun house squirting blood all over the walls from the syringes. Thanks, Fred. Thanks, Fred. How about you? David Gates never did heroin. i don't know that's probably why they're wearing long sleeves to cover the track marks here let's see did david gates do heroin He was an alcoholic. He died of a heroin overdose. His interviews and public statements do not indicate drug use. It's an AI summary. That could mean anything. I had to blow cocaine up his asshole. You're welcome. This podcast has sensitive listeners, so make sure to use language appropriate, like Fleetwood Enema when we're describing cocaine use. Andrew. Andrew, go fuck yourself. All right, here's Sidewalk. Well, we're back. If I could sum side one in one word, I would say stale. Yeah. This is the Black Sabbath self-titled, right? This is like that loaf of bread you forgot you bought because you accidentally put one of those giant tube cans of oatmeal in front of it. And so then you get out another loaf of bread that you're using to make your sandwich. And then 3 months later while you're making oatmeal, you look, you look, it's like, oh, it's not going back all the way. And you find like a really like hard, stale, like half loaf of bread in the back. Yeah. It leaves like an aftertaste. This is the kind of bread you'd give someone you're trying to fuck. Yeah. recognize that they're all good musicians. I just I don't think any of these songs as a whole did anything for me. they're very formulaic. there's always the statement of the title. at the first at the beginning of the song. they always say the name of this song title right off. That's something Sean pointed out. Yeah, And it just kind of the drums kind of. they don't do anything for a while And then the drums come in all of a sudden, kind of later down the road. It's very formulaic. And then the guy sings in the high falsetto. I kept trying to think of comparable bands that I like better than bread. These are all like ballads, which I do like ballads. I'm just picky about them. And like, there was one song where I thought like I could see ozzy or roger waters doing a song like this. and have you know? i've, yeah, both, uh, both of them do like, uh, solo acoustic ballads with, like, minimal accompaniment, or songs like changes. and well, i think this guy is technically a better singer than both of those guys. i liked like that style of song with a more unique voice. i think that's what i'm going for. What this sounded like to me is it reminded me of like some power pop, like ballads, that I like, but without like the power part, without any of the edge. Like you know, like Big Star is a great band and there's like some real pain behind what they're doing. This like, even when it's talking about things that are sad, there's like no pain to it, no edge. no, I thought I would have an aversion to this, solely based on the fact I just kind of have an aversion to love songs. But I've been listening to Tom Petty for like the last 2 months And he writes a bunch of love songs, but his songwriting kicks so much ass that you know it doesn't really matter what the subject matters. I think when Tom Petty writes a love song, it's because he like, feels something for someone, Whereas this stuff is just love songs. I do feel it's more realistic, Like, oh, you know, it sells a lot of records as love songs. Well, time to crank out another love song. Here we go. What would someone say if they were in love? You know what I mean. Instead of like? oh, this is how I felt when such and such happened, Even the song that had like quote-unquote edgier title. Make It With You, he was talking about like a commitment, not like having sex. Yeah, The penetrata. Yeah. So this is like, so, like vanilla, boring bullshit that, like you, could play in front of your parents in the seventies. Yeah, They're talking about making bread, Sean. Yes, It's fine. Making bread, Making bread, A preview, Making it with you. It wasn't even a double entendre. Yeah, It's baking. It was just The dumbest part These are the songs that I like to play. when I'm making bread with a woman, I'm going to be angry about something so fucking basic and boring. Yeah, I'm not mad. Okay. so a preview for next season.
I'm just getting mad at Andrew because he's so like:oh, it's all great, It's all good. Okay, A preview for next season. I'm going to bring an album called Knife Man by AJJ, And the first track of side 2 of that is called Sad Songs,
And the chorus to that is:who fucking gives a rat's ass? Steve, just write a love song. This is that. This is the who fucking gives a rat's ass just to write a love song. you. I know It's not like they brought out an Ace Frehley album that you had to listen to.
I was going to say earlier:I don't dislike it as much as I dislike the band Kiss, which I don't know if you guys are. I have nothing good to say about Kiss. Well, everything I dislike about the song Beth is present on this, Oh yeah, It's everything I don't like about the song Beth, except for the only thing that these guys have going for them is that they're not Kiss. They are better musicians than Kiss. I agree I'd rather listen to this than a Kiss album. I think I'd still rather listen to this album. That's cool though, But I kind of like them. I might have a lobotomy than listen to a Kiss album. By the way, next season I might put this album on and play it extra slow while I'm reading
Like:put it on a slower speed. I want to make a Vaporwave album out of this. That's awesome. I never thought of that. I wonder what it would sound like, sped up. It would sound like the Partridge family or something. It would sound like the Chipmunks. It would actually sound like a fucking record. It would sound like I could do some house chores or some shit. This is something a housewife in the seventies listened to while they were doing house chores. It's just fluff, It's just background. It's for people who listen to music passively. This is what our grandparents fucked too. I'm not going to deny that my grandparents did or didn't. uh, no, i'm not gonna. there's probably more parents. i was gonna say, i'm not gonna deny that, like the people that are on the album are like decent musicians. you know what i mean. like the. all the bass lines are are very, uh, well thought out. yes, yeah, i like. the bass player is like my favorite part of the band so far, even when they're intentionally not doing anything. All of the guitar stuff is just super like, just like, oh kind of, do a bend here. Why don't we do a little slide here? It's just very kind of like guitar tricks that aren't very fast, And not to say that fast equals good, but they're just kind of like. it's just filler. The whole thing is filler, except for the bass lines. yeah, the bass lines gave me something to latch on to in every song that they were in. the bassist is so good that I might see if he's in something that I I was wondering if the bass player is in anything else he ended up going to like Aerosmith. it sounds like that album, that, like Aerosmith did in the nineties. that's all ballads. I don't wanna close my eyes. yeah, it sounds like, or I was dying I met you. Yeah, That album, What's that album called? I don't remember. It- has the cow udders on the front of it. Yeah, And Alicia Silverstone was in every single music video. Yeah, And I had a huge crush on Alicia Silverstone. I think everyone did. I still do Yeah, I'd go to lunch with Alicia Silverstone. I remember watching Batman and Robin, The bad nipples. I was not turned on by the bad nipples, Only by Alicia Silverstone and Poison Ivy. Yeah, Yeah, All right, everyone, Chill, Let's kill the dinosaurs, The Ice Age. Say what you will about that movie. Arnold Schwarzenegger is still very entertaining. I like those Batman movies better than this bread album. You know what I like. those Batman movies, Those Batman movies, They had Alicia Silverstone, They did, They had Poison Ivy, And they look like comic books. They look like actual comic books. So I like that about them. I like cheesy entertainment. Yeah, me too, You know. I think, if nothing else, you can say about that batman movie. it was entertaining because it was just very like over the top, cheesy as fuck. i liked in the nineties when there was like. you would go to a movie to like, have fun, and they would be like the out there. the movie would be done in. yeah, i missed that for fucking 2 hours. it wasn't the christopher nolan. batman torture porn. batman torture. yeah, well, i like. do you want to play a game? i mean it's fine and it's interesting. it's just not really fun to watch. yeah, i like the dark knight series. i like all the batman iterations. i, i love val kilmer. uh, yeah, i'm not a big george clooney fan, but yeah, i like. that's not true. i like george clooney and some stuff. i really like george clooney as the bass player from bread. yeah, this is what i like, george clooney in the most. Every Batman movie is more memorable than these songs. I will say that I don't remember. They keep telling me the names of these songs and I just don't know. They say them in the first words of the song And then they move along. Well, they keep repeating the song titles over and over again, but I still can't remember them. They keep repeating the song titles like fans of the movie Heavy Metal. keep repeating the 9th grade. Whoa dude, That was a callback. Let's go track by track. Make it with you Boring, Boring. Forgot to take notes. Yeah, Forgot to take notes. Are you reading notes? Yes, that's what I wrote. My notes are boring. plucked guitar track one side. one first impression sounds like AM radio. It sounds like Yeah, you, I was going to say I've heard this song before and it's terrible. This is as boring as I thought it would be And it's like It's everything I was expecting. Yeah, It's exactly what I was expecting. This was. I think that's why people buy it. Not all of the songs sound bad, It's just. they're not really memorable. You know what I do remember praising the bass player while we were listening to it. Yeah, People that OK. so like, there's got to go. I'm like, hey, check out this song to like some people that listen to music differently than like people in this room do, And after like 30 seconds they'll be like, eh, I'm not too into this, And I'm like motherfucker. this is complex And you have to like, let some time pass before you make a decision, because it's going to go somewhere. This sounds like music for people like that. It just kind of like want to form an opinion in 20 seconds of listening to a song, you know. So in no disrespect to anyone, but that's just not the way that I listen to music. So this isn't for me. I am not bread's target demographic. No, yeah i wonder i wonder what they would say if they were here like and i said what is your fucking target demographic dude they would say we went double platinum so yeah jog on we made more money and i'm like okay well well i mean we're a we're a group of punks metalheads get in line pal that's what i would say a lot of people make more money than me pal yeah anyway it doesn't mean anything to me for me as on a scale of one to 2 i'm gonna give it a one yeah this one was what i was most expecting from this album like more so than any other well die um diary was also like this but like those 2 songs were the ones that were the most like i was expecting this album to be and so therefore were the worst songs Diary was like this song, but it didn't have a baseline driving it. Yeah. Instead, it kind of had a harmonic baseline song. Did we skip over? Yeah, we'll go back to. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. This was. Yeah. Like this one. This one was maybe my. No, this was my second least favorite on the side. I will say that it was track one side one, which meant it didn't make a good impression going in. And I think it was their biggest hit because it's the one that I, as soon as I heard it, I'm like, oh yeah, I've heard this fucking song. I like your usage of the metric, my second least favorite. I'm really curious to hear what your third least favorite and your 4th least favorite was. Let's see which bread song was most listened to on Spotify. All right. I'll make it with you. It's one of these ones because these are the best. Oh, man. I can only imagine what the non-best. There is a best of all. The non. The non. N-A-A-N. Yes. Everything I own has three hundred eighteen million plays. That's the next track. Make it with you has 2 80. When that one that you just mentioned, what's that called again? Everything I own. So when it got to the hook, like the chorus of that. Yeah. I had a reaction where I was like getting into it, you know? Yeah. There was a point where I was kind of grooving to it. Yeah. And then the second time. It totally fizzled out. When they got to the chorus again, I was like, okay, I'm over this. You know what I mean? So that was a very short-lived thing. They kind of shot their wad. Well, they could have brought the energy down after the chorus into the second verse a little bit, but not all the way back down to the beginning. They should have slowed down a little bit, but not all the way to the boring yeah the first first just like let it build don't just like don't just like bring it up and then bring it all the way back down just you know like start slow do like the high energy chorus and then go down a little bit but like still keep like the propulsive momentum going forward and then When it shifted into the chorus, I think it grabbed all of our attention. Then suddenly, oh, we're back to the fire. This band sounds like more of a marketing commodity than a bunch of guys that are trying to make music together. Yeah, we're definitely just not the Democrats. This is the song that I wrote. It's like power pop without the power. Or the pop, or the nuts, or the bolts, or whatever. But yeah, this one, while I criticize it, was my favorite track on the side. Yeah, it was my favorite on the track. It was my 4th least favorite on the track. It was It was the only one that I had a moment of not loathing. Yeah, I had a moment of enjoyment where I had my eyes closed and I was shaking my head in the no sign, but then grooving into it. And then it was over. And you get mad when it goes away, too, because you're like, I was grooving. I said actual energy still sucks, but go bread. Yeah. Go bread. Go, Brad. All right, next one we already talked a little bit about. It's fucking terrible. Diary, worst song on the side, Diarrhea, Am I Right? Yeah, that one I totally, I got on my phone one. I said boring as hell, nothing to it. Fuck that song. There was no bass guitar, so nothing to grab me. No drums either. Sure. there was like there was nothing it was a vocal melody with strings behind it and yeah when i was grasping for something to like about it uh the synth rising and falling was okay yeah yeah that's a you are that was a stretch there steve That was a big fucking stretch. He did say he was grasping. We should start a bread cover band and we could call it InBread. Album party. Best of bread. Best of bread. Dan has the falsetto voice. He can do it. We'll play punk covers of bread songs. I was going to say we'd make all these songs like 45 seconds long. Yeah. Cause I mean, they're already like 2, 3 minutes song. So at a punk tempo. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, baby, I want you. I'm a, no, it's baby. I'm a, I'm a want you to say that part. Like you're from the streets. When you go to Starbucks and you don't say large. Again. It's not large, it's venti. Maybe I'm going to launch you. All I said was, heard it before, it sucks. This one, I like this one a little better. Like, I like this one better than Diary. Diary was my least favorite. But, like, this one, again, it had, like, some of the interesting bass stuff. It had a hook. Like I won't listen to it again. And I got kind of annoyed when the falsetto vocals were following the baseline because it's like, it felt like it was trying to, I think it ruined the song. Yeah. Like, it's just like, let the baseline do its thing and have the vocals do something else because the baseline was the most interesting part. And then the fade out just kind of happened. It seemed like they were out of ideas and just ended the song. That's why I said I heard it before. It sucks. Yeah. I think you're really, you know, I think it's a bad sign if the bass line is the most interesting part of the song. It really was the most interesting part. Like the guitar lead playing, I felt like had potential, but it wasn't quite there. I don't know, it was delivered kind of slow. Is that the one where I made the comment about the guitar sounds less exciting than the guitar solo from Sublime? Yeah. He says I could play the guitar like a motherfucking riot. And it just does like just falls on his face. Yeah. And I just found out that that is actually not Bradley. I was going to I was going to say that he had passed away and they recorded it after he had died. Someone else. It was it was their roadie guy. Yeah. So, yeah, RIP Bradley Noel. I would have hated your music. Yeah. No, I liked him back. I liked that stuff back when I was in high school, but now I'm, like, definitely over all of that. I'd rather listen to a Sublime album than a Bread, Best of Bread album. Yeah. Uh, yeah, I agree. Yeah. Uh, it don't matter to me. I think it kind of sums up. That's how I feel about this record. Yeah. Yeah. My, my note was, uh, oops, all ballads. I would listen to the, the, I would listen to the rhythm section in a different band. I think I said – I think this is where I realized all the songs started with the title of the song and what I wrote. And then I said, shoot me. And then I said, the music swells are boring. And then I stopped writing. And I literally said, the music swells are boring and dot, dot, dot. Like, I just stopped writing. I think it's like that scene on Lord of the Rings where they get the – the tome uh and like they're reading through it and you could see where the pin like trails off where he was murdered yeah yeah yeah or in uh in uh i should be in more podcasts yeah i'm gonna after this i'm gonna go out of my way to make sure that i don't have a titular line in every song that i write Or like in It's at the castle. Yeah, exactly. He must have died while writing it. He wouldn't write He would just say it. As I've said for each of these songs, the bass playing stands out. uh it's shifted to like a more up-tempo part at a certain point yeah i like and i'm like sean i actually did like the swelling orchestra yeah before we go inflating the ego of the bass player i just want to point out that the reason why the bass stands out is because there isn't really much else yeah you know there's there's nothing else that has a lot of energy bass player can still go himself yeah no he he they're cool i would hang out with them if they were like buying lunch I mean, the bass player is the bass player of bread. I mean, that's, I mean, I wonder if he brags about that or if he keeps it to himself. Oh, I bet he gets a whole lot, a whole lot of pussy at the nursing home for it. See, this is me. He's still alive, by the way. Is he? Yeah. Good for him. He'll probably come and flame us in the comments. Yeah. He's probably one of the 3 comments. I bet you he's unsubscribed from your podcast. He was in a band called The Pleasure Fair. Oh, no. How are they spelling fair? F-A-I-R. Oh, it'd be better if it was F-A-R-E, like Renaissance Fair. it's soft rock slash folk rock he'll probably come out and say he's the most proud of the bass line in diary it's soft rock as in it might need a little bit of Viagra alright last song on this fucking side if uh i liked like the little trim low tape wobble thing at the beginning um that came came out throughout the whole thing that's the only thing i remember about it it still sucks it's it's it's like a it's like a gimmick and i totally was like waiting for the vocal to come in and i was like me and jake i was like jake it's gonna say if it's gonna say if it's gonna say yeah Yeah, and then I thought it sounded like the boring part of a wedding reception before they let the guests dance. So you're, like, watching, you know, like the bride and her father, the groom and his mother dance, and then, like, the couple dance, and then they haven't even let, like, the party dance yet because that gets a little more up-tempo. And so it's just like, yep, we are sitting here watching other people dance so that we can dance to faster songs later. It's the time when you're pounding beers, so you can, like Yeah, building up, pounding beers to build up the confidence to dance. So, this side as a whole, like, I'm not mad at it. Like, I can't be mad at this. It's kind of like the same feeling I have for Nickelback. It's like, eh, it's just there. It's there. It's kind of like being mad about something you don't really care about. Like, I'm not going to say any current events. Obvious current events. Yeah. Yeah, like you can't be mad about that because it's a nothing burger. I don't know. I got pretty worked up there for a moment. Yeah. I forgot to not care, but I don't know. It's just kind of boring. You know what I'll say, though? At least the songs are short. Yeah. That is That's the most They never I don't think any song I don't think any song was over 4 minutes long. If any This side of the album is what Sean imagines Pablo Honey is like. Yeah. I was about to say, I've threatened Sean with other Kiss member solo albums. Guess what Peter Criss' album sounds like? This? Yeah. Guess what I'm not listening to? Like if any of these songs were like 6 or 8 minutes, I would walk into traffic. I would walk into traffic. I don't know. I've heard worse. I mean That's true. Yeah, I think that like contemporary Christian rock is like the worst form of music. Yeah. And if it was just this or whoever the fuck does that kind of stuff, I think I would choose this. Yeah, I would. I'd rather listen to this than Hillsong. I think I would just choose nothing. I would choose to be sit in silence. It sounds like you heard like contemporary soft Christian rock and went, what if we did that for everyone? Yeah. And I kind of like that. Yeah. Which, yeah, I go for that. You, you do you, you, you make adults contemporary. Yeah. Easy listening. Yeah. Yeah. You, you make that so that people who don't want to kill gay people can listen to music like that. People that don't want to kill kids. I'm glad I'm not one of those people. No, wait. Hold on. I'm getting my algebra wrong. I will say, too, this album is very short. It's only 33 minutes long. Nice. I wonder what. So the next the next side, like there's no song over 3 minutes. Yeah. And I sometimes complain about albums like that, but not in this case. Yeah. So complain about what kind of album? Well, like. Nashville Skyline. I think it's like 28 minutes long and you like spend 20 bucks on an album and it's really pretty. Oh, yeah. Yeah. But it's just it's not it's incredibly short. Yeah. They leave you wanting more. See, I don't know. I like Nashville Skyline. Sometimes I like it when albums are really short and there's a song with the lyrics, now I want to sniff some glue. Now I just want to have something to do. Now I want to go sniff some glue. That sounds like something I can relate to. All of these kind of lovey-dovey tunes. I don't believe in love. I believe in sniffing glue. And that's the thing about bread. If these songs were about sniffing glue, like if I sniffed some glue, it would be a lot better. It's the lyrics. I want to make it with glue. I want to make it with glue. That's where the Ramones got the idea. All right, Steve, read the fucking song list. All right, slide 2. We got Mother Freedom. Down on my knees. Sucking dick. That one's about blowing. Too much love. That's also about cunnilingus. Let your love go. That's also about cunnilingus. Look what you've done. That's about cunnilingus. That's about finishing the guy off. That one's about premature ejaculation. The next one's trucking. That's not blowing a guy in a truck stop. I was thinking of that scene in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back with George Carlin. You gotta make it with the head. Alright. If you don't give me your phone where I want to go, I'll take a shot in the mouth. Yeah, I do think it is time for me to go, and it's not because I don't want to listen to Side 2 of Best of Bread. Bullshit. You get to leave. It sounds like you're trucking. Could you sum it up for us, or do you Yeah, it was a long time ago. It wasn't really memorable. It's all good. I bet trucking will be up-tempo. I think that would sound the same if you'd listen to it. I'm going to guess trucking's more up-tempo than the rest of them. I bet you not. That's their ballad. I bet you they're all ballads. I bet trucking's going to be a little bit boogie-woogie, but at, like, 60 beats per minute. Compared to 40 beats per minute. With a really lazy guitar solo. Maybe it'll be a harmonica on trucking. Maybe a little bit of slide guitar. Yeah, let's have at it. Let's get this. Let's rip the band-aid off. Let's get this fucking show on the road. Let's get trucking. Let's get down on our knees. Let's get down on our knees and start pleasing Jesus. All right, and we are back. What the fuck was that? That was surprising. That was probably the best side recovery I've ever heard. I don't think I've heard an album with a side one that I dislike so much. I can honestly say that Bread is my favorite band I've ever heard ever in my life. The only other time I can think of that happening is when me and you, Dave, enjoyed the side 2 of DeAnno's solo album better than the side one. But I would even say these songs were better quality than even that shift. Even though they were still bread. And they still had some breadness to them. It was a far more interesting side of the record than the first side. You both mentioned that the subject matter seemed kind of inauthentic. Yeah, there's a song called, what is it, Mother Freedom? Mother Freedom, yeah. I'd like a knuckle tattoo of that. Mother. How many fingers do you have? That's not going to work. Have you been drawn by AI? Hey, that's an AI image. His tattoo on his knuckles is Mother Freedom. Yeah. I remember I put it on and I'm like, it sounds like a completely different band. Yeah. It sounded like if Grand Funk Railroad and Jethro Tull were the same band. Yeah. only like their singing was a little too polished for either of those bands I heard a little like Credence I heard a little Grand Funk and I heard a little Jethro Tull I was very impressed I gotta say I think I'd rather go and listen to all of those bands instead of listening to this side again if I had to choose between listening to side B of this record or listening to one album of any of those bands you just mentioned I would go with that although grand funk isn't really my favorite, but Jethro Tull and, uh, credence are definitely like, uh, I give them, they got mad respect for respect for grand funk. You know, they were the first band that ever played in the quest center. Oh, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. I told this story on, I think, during the Tom Petty episode, but me and my dad went and saw Grand Funk Railroad and because he had no at some festival in Little Iowa and because of his handicapped sticker, they gave us like awesome parking obviously but they also gave us our own little like booth in front of the stage where they like partitioned off the audience away from us and so we just we had a front row view of the stage and uh yeah the night ranger guitarist i think thought we were like important like festival organizers or something because he kept like coming up and playing at us and like thanks night ranger But I mean, overall, I like this side of music. Yeah, It was fine, I wasn't bored. like the first side, Their drummer came to life. Yeah, when they let him play through an entire song, Spiritual awakening. It's like when you get those little foam dinosaurs that you put in water and they grow. That was their drummer here. Or like a boner pill. Yes, If bread pops for longer than 4 hours, call a physician. What are you saying? I had a fucking meltdown midway through this side because I'm like. what the fuck is this? What the fuck? How can they recover from the first side? I don't think they played a single ballad this whole time. Yeah, they were 2 ballads, but I also liked the ballads on this side more than the ballads on side one. They were better than anything on this first side. Their drummer's really good. Actually, just take like the one song that we were kind of interested on. the first. Everything I Own and put it on side two and then like everything on side 2 is like better. That would be the best album for Best of Fred. Like it was like what the fuck is going on here. This is way better than anything. It's still not like memorable. It wasn't great, I'm not saying that, but it was like actually enjoyable. Instead of gold, it was bronze. Yeah, I would wear. Well, instead of like a shit sandwich, it was like, you know, a vomit sandwich or something you know. No it was. That sounds worse. No, instead of like a shit sandwich, it was just like a gas station sandwich. Yeah, With bread, With bread. Yeah, I don't know. It was weird. man, I had like such a. I was kind of dreading this side of the house. Yeah, I was like. The titles didn't weren't promising. yeah, yeah, but honestly, i was expecting every single one of these to be a syrupy ballad, except for trucking. i, it was. trucking was what i thought it was going to sound like. yeah, there was some really cool, uh, um, like development sections, uh, where the bass and the drums really got to kind of wig out together, and i was like, oh yeah. rhythm section. you know, i i can't get behind this band's vocals. um yeah, the vocalist is like shit. it's like really it's nice. it sounds like the guy sings well in the backup harmonies, but yeah, it's just like. I've kind of heard other stuff. you don't believe him? yeah, that's a good way to say it. like I said, like earlier, I compared it to Tom Petty, where all his love songs like, oh yeah, I believe all that, yeah, well, and then, like the details of Tom Petty's love songs too, kind of kind of also, or what makes them seem so authentic, like it was early summer and we sat on your roof, we smoked cigarettes, looked at the moon. that's, you know, like you feel that moment right. well, with this it's like generic nothing. Tom Petty sounds like he had his heart ripped out of his chest and fed back to him. you know, by the chick. you know, right, this sounds like these guys all met at the audition. there are a creation of the record label of electra. we see you, electra, they met. they met at the movie, the audition starring james franco, about kim jong-il. no, kim jong-il, kim jong-il, yeah, is kim jong-il in that movie? No, he's dead. My buddy Caleb made me this painting back a long time ago. It is Kim Jong-il with a pair of sunglasses on and these huge ass headphones, And he's smiling really big And it says Kim Jong-thrill, Nice, That's pretty neat, I want to.
I think I once saw somewhere on the internet- I wish I knew where someone had like Kim Jong-il and then just with the same font as the Beastie Boys, and it said:licensed to ill, but with one L, All right, track by track. So yeah, Mother Freedom, I put the needle on. I'm like. I had to look at the record to make sure I didn't put the wrong one on, even though I all I did was flip it over. Yeah. And then I remember, Dave, you came out of the bathroom. You're like what is this? A different band? Yeah, You're like what. did you? did you put the wrong record on? Yeah, Like I, I went to the bathroom expecting to just miss, like some slow plucked guitar strings. I thought you were going to say I went to the bathroom just expecting to miss the toilet. Yeah, I did miss the toilet. Good luck tomorrow, Steve. I'm not going to tell you what I hit. instead I didn't wash my Yeah, it had energy. It actually had a distorted guitar.
I was like:what the fuck is this? It sounded like a seventies rock band.
It does sound like he heard Credence and went:oh man, we should get in on that. yeah. And Credence does protest songs. What's a subject we can do? that sounds like a protest song, but it's completely inoffensive. Mother freedom, But yeah, Yeah, but yeah, decent rocker, yeah, yeah, I could just shot of adrenaline I could just see on the lyric sheet for mother freedom. it's like the word fucker is crossed out and freedom is like sketched over the top of it. yeah, like we were gonna call it something else, but I got bills to pay, Jack. that's probably what it was. The next one down on my knees. I was just because of the title. Yeah, because I was expecting a small or a syrupy ballad. But no, it was another decent rocker. In fact, I think I like the rocking in that one more than the previous song. Yeah, it sounded like more authentic than the first one. Yeah, I think I might remember this song tomorrow. actually, Right, Yeah, These are the last times I'm listening to these. Oh yeah, I'm never listening to this record again, But I was going to say I have other stuff I got to listen to. Yeah, It is my record, but it's now Steve's, because I'm not taking it home. I'm like looking around this room and there's, like so many, like just great records like out. Like I could see how a record like this would just get buried and never see the light of day, like in so many different people's record collections, you know, Oh, I think Steve is just going to be tossing this one or something. I have 2 copies because my dad had one. It rains, it pours, you know, Like, I'm looking over there and I see Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath. Then I turn my head to the left a little bit and see Piper at the Gates of Dawn,
And it's like:yeah, Which one are we listening to? Mine or your dad's? Yours? I forgot to grab his the other day. So yeah, Down on My Knees, sounded like Credence and Rocker. It was actually better than it should have been. Pretty good. I give it a B+. I give it a two out of 2. It's either one or 2 for me. I would definitely not switch to the radio station if I heard it while driving that U-Haul down to Kansas City. If there was any of the songs on the other side of the record, I've never heard any of those songs all the way through on the other side of the record and I've never heard any of these songs at all. No, These were not radio-friendly songs. Yeah, I almost wonder, like. I feel like they compiled Side One for a different audience than Side 2 like, and you know we mentioned like. this is the kind of album our parents would listen to. so I bet this was a compromise record for a lot of parents like. you know, the mom that's a soft rocker and the dad that's a hard rocker, you know. yeah, fun for the whole family, fun for the whole family. yeah, next one, uh, too much love. it was a ballad, but it actually had some moments, yeah, and i said it was better than everything on side one. yeah, it had like hooks to it. i sped up sometimes when it felt like it and then it didn't immediately just kill the energy afterwards. yeah, this one like it was a better constructed ballad. yeah, I got a little these guys' ballads kind of I get a little attention deficit whenever. Yeah, it still sucked, but it wasn't. No, it was actually it didn't suck, but I'd give it a D+, A solid 3 out of 3 minutes. Yeah, I'd give it a middle C, Middle C, Not like the note, but just like a C. C's, get degrees. Yeah, Like my high school transcription. Yes, We should start doing that like giving songs like grades. Yeah, That would be kind of funny. Let your love go. I actually really liked this one. Yeah, this one was my favorite on the whole record. I think this is the one where I was like what the fuck is going on. Yeah, This is where I literally wrote what the fuck is going on. Yeah, it had like a boogie-woogie groove, kind of Jethro Tull vibes. Yeah, I actually really enjoyed this song and could see myself putting it on a mix or something. The harpsichord. that really annoyed me. on the first side, I think that was on
Diary. whichever song had the harpsichord:Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Like diarrhea, It sounded good on this. They were like, like they brought it in late to have like, some like arpeggios, to add some texture and some like forward momentum to the whole thing. This is, this is the only song on the record I can see myself listening to again, Yeah, I have some cool stuff that I just recently got. So, sorry, bread. Sorry, bread. You know what? Maybe if I'm feeling nostalgic for the podcast at some point and I'm like, oh, I remember when we reviewed that album. Well, don't you re-listen to every album that we do an episode on as you're editing it? Yes. Yeah. I don't know if I'll do it this time. I wouldn't blame you. You'll just play this song on a loop while you're editing the podcast until you're sick of it, which will be like after 2 times. Maybe this side I'll put on again. I could see that, but I really don't care to hear the first side ever Yeah, next one. They kind of went back to the ballad territory, but it was more like a country ballad Like I like the folksy country vibes. I'm called look at what you've done. Look what you've done. Look what you've done What you did you little jerk? I like this vocal delivery and then I like the part where like picked up tempo Yeah, I was gonna say that was my favorite part of this song and then I had like really good organ playing during that part I would also compare this one to Jethro Tull Yeah. It was fine. Yeah. That's weird that I was listening to Jethro Tull on the way over here. Yeah. I was like, I'm listening to something that's a lot different than what I'm about to listen to. And little did you know it was going to be almost the same. Who's the asshole now? You. It always has been. It's always been. Look what you've done. You've been the asshole. I think that, well, yeah, this side is cool. And then trucking. I wanted to add something, and I didn't have anything. How about trucking? What do you have to say about trucking? Trucking, I was worried because this was the first time the strings were back, and I'm not against strings in songs. I like a lot of songs with strings. But the over-reliance on string swells are kind of what made the first site so boring. I felt like this was another, like the Mother Freedom and Truckin were very inauthentic. Yeah, like they were trying to appeal to an audience. Yeah. honestly it was probably my least favorite song on the side yeah like um the strings came back and it's like oh god is it gonna be like side one and then it kind of faked us out yeah then it faked us out and it was like a fast rocker and like occasionally his vocal delivery like actually had a snarl to it which i liked but it's harmonica yeah it sounded like if bob dylan was very good like or not very good at the harmonica but a lot more intentional yeah rather than yeah exactly But I would rather listen to any Bob Dylan song than this, but yeah. Bob Dylan would be a real serious palate cleanser here. Yeah. I also noticed the drummer was utilizing that kind of like freight train sound like Johnny Cash's band used. It is called Truckin'. Yeah. So appropriate for the song. But yeah, probably my least favorite on this side. I kind of had hopes for it, but that's probably just because I was thinking of Deep Purple Space Truckin'. Well, and I was expecting every other song to be a ballad, and then every other song wasn't. True, yeah. And I was like, is this going to be the one where they spring the ballad? And sometimes they would even fake us out, like Gotcha. Gotcha, bitch. Thought it was going to be a ballad, huh? It's a rocker. Yeah, but this, yeah, to me this sounded like the Eagles trying to do like a Creedence song. Okay, I just want to say, though, the Eagles, I'm not an Eagles fan, but the Eagles probably rocked harder than bread. Probably did, yeah. These are, you know, like people will like say different bands are the shitty Beatles. This is the shitty Eagles. That is the best way. I've been trying to think of something to compare it to the whole time. And I think the shitty Eagles is like really good. Yeah. I actually think we were pretty close when we said it was proto yacht rock. Yeah. It's pretty close to proto yacht rock. Although I tell their mustaches and their feathered hair. I do deserve a medal for predicting that Trekken would have a harmonica on it. No one else could have possibly guessed that would happen. So yeah, if you're like Sean and you just randomly have this record materialize into your collection, maybe Maybe put it on side 2 when you're cleaning or something. Yeah. If you want to become more bored, listen to side one. Yeah. Maybe if you don't want to take us at our word on this, listen to it and regret it. Who knows? Maybe hate yourself and just, you know, you want to commit suicide, just listen to the first if you really like beth by kiss you would love yeah if you like peter chris's solo album you'd like side one if you yeah yeah i'm gonna get censored for that one aren't i if you um i didn't hear what you said i said something about committing suicide i don't remember yeah um if you um If you want, I don't know, if you want to listen to If you like the ballad styles of Big Star, but don't like it that they have real emotion and pain behind it, listen to this. So I was going to say, that's kind of my takeaway from this. This is like the most polished Even the side that was quote-unquote rocking, maybe it's because we were so used to the other side. We were like, what the fuck is going on? This is the most User, like, you are not going to offend any person whatsoever. It's the safest music I've ever heard. Yeah. I will say this. I like the album as a whole a lot better than Pyromania. Yeah, I would rather listen to this than Pyromania. Yeah, you got me there. Yeah. I think this, if you are online with your bank and your insurance company and one of these songs comes on go ahead and just wait until the representative picks up the phone and then that should be good and then that should do it I mean, that's what it sounds like, elevator music. It is, yeah. Especially side one. Yeah. Yeah, you know, I think I would give side one a D and side 2 B minus. I'd give it a C. I was going to say I'd give it a C. I guess I'm generous. Side one gets like an F. I would allow it to take some retakes and make up some extra credit, but I'd be like, come on, man, you're not even trying. Side one gets an F+, just because there was that one moment. Yeah. And then side 2 gets a C minus. But I would give Let Your Love Go like a B minus. Yeah, that was probably because that was the best song. Yeah. I mean, I will say we were not expecting to like anything about this song. Yeah, that's true. Okay, so because it surprised me, it needs to die. I really, really hate it for surprising me. So when are we going to do Best of Bread Volume 2? I think I already know what it sounds like. Yeah. Is there a Volume 2? Yes, there is. I saw that when I was looking up the Wikipedia. Is it just the rest of their songs? Yeah, every song that didn't make it on Volume One is on Volume 2. join us in season 15 when we're out of ideas alright so that was uh that was the best of bread and this is the end of the season so uh before uh before Jacob showed up we were bullshitting a little bit about uh about the season as a whole so I figured let's uh let's circle back around to that um I'm looking at the top episode list here and uh let's first talk about uh our number one episode the Slipknot episode listened to it. Well, I'm glad I haven't either. I don't like the band Slipknot. No, yeah, they're not my thing. It was interesting to talk about. We did their first demo album before they were famous and had Corey Taylor as a vocalist, and so they didn't know who they were yet. And as a result, it was a very eclectic collection of music. I think because they didn't know who they were because they all wore masks. Yeah. There was a degree to which they were trying to do like a Mr. Bungle type thing. Yeah, that's the thing. A lot of those bands back then, it's like you listen to them and you're like, okay, I think I'd just rather listen to the Mr. Bungle albums. Yeah. Well I kind of wanted to talk about the statistics on that one. Cause like I shared it with Dave one day and he sent back that meme of the guy going, I guess. And so I dug further into like what, like what platforms people are listening to the episodes on. And most of the time it's overcast and podcast addict. I looked at the statistics for the Slipknot episode and it's all like Spotify and like Deezer listeners for the most part. So my theory is people are looking for that album to stream. They don't see the album to stream because Slipknot won't put it on streaming because they're embarrassed of it. And so we're just kind of the consolation prize. Oh, no. Yeah. Wah, wah. So instead of listening to an album that you're trying to find, you get a bunch of people bagging on a band that you like. Yeah. But our second most popular episode, which was the most popular episode of the season, was the Dinosaur Jr. episode, which you were on. Yeah, that was a fun one. I really liked that album a lot. I've listened to it quite a lot of times since, Like when we released that one, it got like a hundred listeners, like almost immediately, Like we never see it build that fast, usually, So we were kind of surprised by that And it took a while to get overtaken. Slipknot was kind of a grower. It just snaked its way up to the top, almost out of nowhere, I think one of the reasons why it did get some listens. I think it's much more people who are looking for the first record on Spotify and then not seeing it accidentally finding the podcast. But I do think there's some degree to which the fact that we kept referring back to it because of all the nodding jokes- Yeah, Wolf penises. Yeah, the wolf penis joke became kind of a running gag and I think we're tired of it now. I don't recall anything about the wolf penis joke. Well, you're going to have to listen to the Slipknot episode because we're not telling the story. Oh, I thought you were When you were just saying that I thought you were talking about the Dinosaur Jr album, I was like. that is not anything I remember. Oh, no, no, no, the dinosaur junior episode like. i'm glad that's our biggest one of this season, because that is kind of one of my favorite episodes. i'm not because i'm not on that, motherfucker. damn, no one likes sean. yeah, let's see what's the next one you were on because, uh, let's see, it was, uh, heavy metal. then it was, uh, viagra boys, nope, nope. and then, uh, viagra, comma, judgment night. no, the soundtrack, not the movie, that was, yeah, i i listened to that one. that one was fun. i listened to the album and then i would, i would listen to the side, like when you guys shut it off. i would listen to the side of the record, but it was kind of a weird um thing because i was streaming the album. i don't have the record, judgment night, and i think the cd is different than the record. it probably was going in the cd order. yeah, it was different. there's something we even talked about on it after we. Well, I guess you're right, Sean, because the most popular episode with you is the pyromania episode. That was last season. Yeah, Wow, Is pyromania the one with like pour some sugar on me? No, that's hysteria. Okay, That one was the one with what's that fucking song? I don't think it's even in the top 10, but the most popular episode you were on, Sean, was the Ozzy Osbourne episode. I wish I could Photograph was on in Rock of Ages. Rock of Ages, that's the one. There was an Onion article and it showed the picture from the guy from Def Leppard, the drummer. The drummer from Def Leppard would love to talk about fucking anything else. I gotta say I gotta give that guy props. Yeah, I saw Def Lepp for losing his fucking arm and then figuring out a way to like still be in like a See. I always see it a different way. I always see it a different way. He lost an arm and no one noticed. Oh well, there is that He lost his arm, no one noticed and they kept going. I'm sure the guys in Def Leppard are nice guys, but I do got to say that one of the most forgettable moments, concerts I've ever been to ever- And this was before I drink and did drugs. I saw Brian Adams and Def Leppard in Lincoln- Oh my God Field in Lincoln- And I got to say it was, just like for me, quite a yawn fest. I don't know. Like. yeah, I don't feel. I'm sure they're nice guys, but that's just not my kind of music. You know either of those things. Brian Adams and Def Leppard are not my thing, so maybe it's me. I think Bryan Adams gets too much of a pass for the summer of 69. I think that song sucks. I'm not saying that it's a good song. I'm saying he gets too much of a pass for that song. like people love that fucking song and then like they forget that everything else he does is like terrible. I actually think that the god awful Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves song that everyone hates is better than the summer of 69. Oh, I love it, Cause. I always used to. I used to make fun of my dad. Cause, my dad's like that song. Cause, everything I do I do it for you. I'd be like so dad. So when he takes a shit. does he do it for you? He does it for her
Dad's, like:shut the fuck up, Sean. I think my favorite memory from this season is us getting sick of Jerry Cantrell. Yeah, Oh, my God, I missed that. Which one was that from? We did Degradation Tapes? Oh yeah, Trip. It's like doing 5 albums in one. Yeah, Yeah, we were very sick of Jerry Cantrell by the end of that. Yeah, There's a good single album and all that.
but then it's like 3 albums or 4 albums. it's 4 albums worth of music. like if it was an lp, it would be 3 albums worth of music. but it's 2 cds, yeah. and like. each cd is like an hour long or something like that. it's like:first cd is like an app, is like minutes and the second is like minutes long. So so it's like so. it's like a two hour album, And then, like the Guns N' Roses- Use Your Illusion albums, It's just like way too much, all in one dose. I felt like that was like not just like one albums and 2 volumes. It was like like 4 albums that could have been like distributed over the course of a full decade, rather than just like what was that, like 19, 91 or 19 92? Yeah, it was 91, I think, because it came out right at the Terminator 2, Yeah, And in the front, And I think user, the user illusion albums like. It's kind of funny because you're like saying that, oh, they could have distributed it. Well, look how long it took them to release Chinese democracy. That was the same thing, but just like over 20 years later. So they just didn't have the steam Or the Slash. Slash, Steam was their first drummer. I think I'm going to bring in Chinese Democracy during the Bad Album season. Oh, definitely, That's legendarily bad, But it's not as bad as people. You should do Michael Jackson's album Bad, not because it's a bad album, but it's titled Bad. We should do that as a relief from bad albums, Or Bad Motor Finger. Yeah, We already did that one, though. Oh, that's a great album. Yeah, I think it's not a good Guns N' Roses album, but it's probably a good Axl Rose album. I think that the album Appetite for Destruction is one of the greatest rock albums ever. I agree, It was in the middle of the dumb hair metal thing, but these guys were dangerous. You know what I mean. Yeah, they definitely tuned that album to perfection. That was yeah, um, sean, do you have any uh this season podcast memories that you'd like to share? yeah, i think the feeling like waterboarded from doing jerry cantrell so the same as mine. yeah, yeah, i i thought the. i really enjoyed the tom petty episode. i thought that was really great to do for your dad. that was a good tribute to your dad. yeah, that might be my favorite episode this season. watching your reaction to the violent femmes was very enjoyable for me. Yeah, Cause, uh, he, he had never heard the first album by the violent femmes. That's awesome, Yeah. And, and he was like he, he had no idea really what to expect and he was blown away by that album. Yeah, When I re-listened to it, I particularly enjoyed hearing it again. One of my favorite memories from this season is when we did System of a Down's first album And we had my friend Laura from work and Clayton on the podcast, And Clayton had to leave halfway through because his cat Cannoli had brutally murdered a mouse in his bathtub And his girlfriend was texting him freaking out about it. Which album was that? The first system of a down one, like the self-titled one, The way they would have wanted it. Yeah, That's fucking great.
I did like. another good memory of this season, is I really did like when I played the Para Ubu singles comp for Sean, because it's like:hey, I'm about to make all of my own songwriting seem a whole lot less original now by playing this band. I did like that comp. Yeah, I liked the Aussie tribute album. we did too. Yeah, that was pretty cool With Clayton. Yeah, Clayton Clayton, I liked the. it was fun to do the Viagra Boys one. That was the newest album we've ever done on the show, because it had been released the previous week. Yeah, and that one's snaking up there in views too. That could potentially be a number one at some point. Yeah, I kind of wish I would have been there for the Dinosaur Jr album, because you guys talk about that album still. I remember you had that. we did the season opener without you too. the Funhouse- Actually, you know which one I was more mad about was you did the one with Pete. What's his face? Jim Carroll Band. Oh yeah, And Pete didn't even like it, And like Steve and I both liked it and you would have liked it,
and so I was like: yeah, well, I've heard the album before and I love that album. but, and I started saying:like, at practice I started saying they died, died. yeah, one of the most memorable things for me that I wasn't expecting was that I finally had a platform to express my contempt for the band Kiss laughter. I feel like I got to evangelize to a little more broad audience, instead of me just screaming in my car whenever they come on the radio. We'll probably be doing one of their albums next season. I think the Alive album might be a fun one to do. I'll tell you everything. We'll have a spectrum, because Clayton likes Kiss, so we'll have Clayton and me on the enjoys spectrum and then everybody else not so much. It'll be like crossfire. yeah, yeah, it'll be like that, those stupid jubilee debates where me and clayton will be in the center. and yeah, you and clayton will be. jordan peterson will be. yeah, yeah, you and clayton will be jordan peterson and the rest of us will be a bunch of college college atheists arguing with you. I also enjoyed watching Jacob enjoy Joy Division for the first time. I listen to that album. a lot. That album is so good. I am new to the Joy Division album and that was really fucking, actually watching both you and steve, because steve hadn't heard it either, and you guys, i could tell you both, were like holy shit. this is awesome. yeah, i knew it would be up my alley. yeah, that album, that album, changed my life like um too. and yeah, it's a. it's like one of those top ten fucking albums, like you know, best album i ever heard. that's a claim for a reason. yeah, yeah, yeah, you should listen to that. if you're listening to this podcast, you should listen to that Joy Division, Unknown Pleasures, best fucking album. and then, while you're at it, also listen to Closer and Substance. they are known now. Pleasures are now known. yeah, I will say, though, Nuclear Days was a really nice album to listen to, because, you know, I think that band deserved better. yeah, they did. i um, turning japanese was the worst song on that album. that was the funny thing, though, like, like you said, turning japanese was the worst song on the album. but after listening- because i think we listened to nuclear day and then we listened to all mod cons- we did all mod cons first because i wanted to do all mod cons first. oh okay, yeah, yeah, But I could see how they kind of were overshadowed by the jam. Yeah, Because they do sound very similar, like very similar bands, and they were on the same label. Yeah, So a label's going to be like. well, I got 2 bands that sound identical. Yeah, I'm going to have to promote one and kind of drop the other. Yeah, What's a funny thing about the about nuclear days, too, was, uh, we had someone who loved that album, like comment on steve posting it on blue sky, and, uh, they had never heard the jam, and so we told the like. steve told them about the episode about the jam, and that guy listened to all the mod cons and hated it. yeah, oh, really not. the episode hated the album it's like. okay, i don't understand you now, you don't make sense to me as a person. but yeah, i thought it was a good album. yeah, I still need to go back and listen to more jam. Setting Suns is my favorite of their albums, but All Mod Cons is also like And there's a reason why All Mod Cons is the one that I own on vinyl. But yeah, Well, I think it's Like the Para Ubu. uh, episode, that album actually got me to listen to their first album, modern, modern dance. yeah, so, which we covered in the first season with with dan. yeah, because you told me you guys had covered it in the first season. so i was like, oh, i'll check that out. so, yeah, which i thought and i thought that was a good album. so weird album, but a great album. yeah, Yeah, they're totally like you can tell. Yeah, Pixie's influence. Yeah, Frank Black was like listening to Pear Ubu. Yeah, like a lot. yeah, All right. well, that was season 2. It's a wrap. We'll be doing some EP episodes to kind of keep the lights on in between. so keep an eye out for those, I want to thank everybody that's tuned in for tuning in. It's been really fun doing this. I think it's not only been just fun to hang out with my friends and stuff and talk about records, but it's also had a really profound impact on my songwriting and my production work. So yeah, I've really enjoyed this project. Yeah, and I was telling Dave too real quick that Doing this has actually made me appreciate more, like the one, the 2 sides of an album before. I used to just always listen to a whole album before. Now I actually appreciate more like the side one, the side 2 or side A B, whatever you do. I say A and B, by the way. So I'm going to be the side C, motherfucker. Yeah, I like to say, I like to say side one, side 2 for full length LPs, because just because of the, this is going to be a really nerdy thing that no one cares about, But because of the distinction of like a B side to a single, So like I'll talk about singles aside side A, side B and like LPs aside one, side 2, to make the distinction easier, in my mind, either works. You see, LPs that will label it side A, side B, a lot. But yeah, nerd, nerd, yeah. anyways, that's not why i'm a nerd, yeah. but no, i i think that's kind of what doing this show has actually taught me. is the the art of a side a and side b, or one side one, side 2? you know, i just like how it's like sitting down with a record And just kind of having that be the event that you're doing. I think it's very common for people to put on some music while they're doing this, that or the other thing. And I just think that I love sitting down with a record, reading all the lyrics, looking at who was on it, looking at who engineered it, the artwork, everything involved. I just love it.
you know, i just did that with um the i for my birthday. i got the lola and the lola and power man versus money go around by the kinks. love that album. i got to like, just fucking blast it. and then i was like, if i ever do, uh, one of these episodes where i get to pick the record, it would either it would have to be:uh, lola and the power man versus the money go around by the kinks. Nice, I would totally be on that. I love that album. That is kind of a preview of next season, because we're going to try to have guests bring records more than we have in the past. It's just been like. a lot of the reasons why it's mainly just Steve and I bringing stuff is because, Well, sometimes we'll have people cancel on us, Yeah, And so it's just easy for us to revert. Have something loaded up. Yeah, Especially like Sean usually joins us after practice, so that's not usually an issue. So a lot of times it's just like all right, Sean, we're doing this album. Yeah, Well, I think I'm going to start being more of a regular. Yeah, When we, when you come back with a season 3, probably in a in a couple of months, Yeah, We'll, we'll be rotating between me and Dave, like usual, but I've included Sean in that rotation, and then and then we'll have guest albums as well. So, yeah, And then That will all lead up to the opening of the season after that, where we'll be doing Metal, Machine Music, St Anger and Lulu. It's kind of funny that it ended up being the opener for the Bad Elves season. Yeah, but it'll be the uh, 98th, 99th and one100th episodes, Which means we're going to have to find a finale for a bad album that's more bad than those albums. I have some ideas for the bad album finale, but I don't want to say them on mic because I kind of want to leave that as a surprise, maybe. But if anybody has any suggestions About album suggestions, Let us know. Yeah, Don't say it on mic. Oh, don't say it on mic. Okay, I'll get back to I'll have my people contact your people. Yes, I am my people. All right, Dave and Sean and I are in a band called the illiterates. I've got a solo project called kill rock. Dave released an album with Gong Farmer. That's pretty fucking good. Yeah, Oh, I got something. And yeah, Jacob, I'm playing in the band Robo Dojo at the Reverb Lounge on October 18th, Nice, And that'll be really cool. We'll have some T-shirts and for sale and we'll have some CDs for sale, and it'll be just a fun time. I also teach. So if you're looking for, If you're looking to expand your music knowledge, then let me know, because I'd love to help you. So when's the album party show for the best of bread? April first, 20 26. Tickets are expensive, so Venmo me. What he's really saying is y'all got to commit to this up front before I'll do it. Oh, April first on 2026 is Passover. So you could call it the unleavened bread show. I think we just listen to unleavened bread. Yeah. You lost that unloving bread. So fuck off. Bring back that leavened feeling. Yeah. And then, yeah, before we close out, I wanted to thank all the other guests we've had this season. Mario, Pete, Clayton, Kyle, Dan, other Jake, Gun Jacob. Yeah. Gun Jacob. I'm glad that I'm not Gun Jacob. And I'm for Gun Jacob's nice. He's talking about my penis. We'll pair you up sometime. Yeah, we really should pair up the 2 Jacobs because you would like Gun Jacob. The Jakes. Yeah. Bringing in the big guns are well. Laura, Jarette, I already said Kyle, Jimmy, Colby. And Adam. So, yeah. Did you say Andrew from Naked Raygun one? I think I said Andy. Oh, yeah, Andy. Yeah. Andy. Yeah. Thank you. And did you say Andrew from our band? I guess. Cool. I got to censor that out. That guy said one of the funniest jokes ever. I just want to share this moment that I had with Andrew that I really like a lot. It was when his wife was with their second child. uh before their second child was born and they have um a child already and i said do you know if it's a boy or a girl and chelsea said i don't know and andrew said well if it's a boy i think i'd like to call it boyatris yes She didn't laugh as hard as I did. That's another funny memory is when we were we were doing a double header because it's hard to book sometimes. And so we were doing Grateful Dead's working. Yeah, I listen to that one with Andrew. with andrew and then uh pete walks in like while we're listening to the side too and i jokingly asked if he wanted a mic and he's just like like no self-respected punk would ever participate in a podcast yeah There was only one song on that, though, that I thought was boring. So I thought that was a good record. Yeah. What song did you think was boring? Which one was that? It wasn't even until the second side. Was it Casey Jones? That's No, I enjoyed Casey Jones. It was Fuck. Give me a second. It was fuck. Oh, was it in the It's like the ballad? Yeah. Yeah, that song is a little Do you just have something against ballads? I kind of do. This particular ballad is not impressive. I know some really good ballads. I've heard such good ballads that when I hear like just kind of a phoned in ass ballad, I'm kind of like, all right, there's better songwriters for ballads. Yeah. No, I thought. I want to listen to Grateful Dead for their ballads. I thought Black Peter got kind of boring and didn't really say anything with the story. I think that was it. Yeah. What is it? It was the one that was like in the something of my days. I don't know the name of the song, but I think it is on the second side and it is a ballad. In the Attics of My Mind or In the Attics of My Something. Is that it? Anywho. Anywho. You can always listen to that episode if you want to know my thoughts on it. I have listened to that episode. It was very nice. You have to listen to it again then. I would rather listen to that episode again than listen to that bread album every time. Yeah. We should break it just to We'll break the bread. Me and my friends, we broke bread. How could you say that to me, Sean, after we broke bread together? Yeah. All right. Snap. All right. Follow us on Patreon for our dick pics. All right. Yeah. Follow us on OnlyFans. OnlyFans. Do we want to preview what we're going to bring in next season? I don't want to say everything that I'll bring, but I will. Well, I know I'm going to bring in Peter Capaldi, the Doctor Who, basically. He released some really cool albums, and I got one of those on vinyl. So I think that'll be the first one I bring in for the season. Yeah, I think the first one that I'm going to bring next season, since I have talked about bringing it already, is I'm going to bring Knife Man by AJJ. Knife Man. knife man very good album i i think the first one i'm gonna bring in is uh berlin by lou reed nice you know what i should bring as a pairing to that would be oh uh big science by um lou reed's wife uh laurie anderson right yeah yeah i haven't really i just got that album a couple of days ago and it's pretty good i like it i listened to the whole thing very loud while i was playing video games it was super fun nice yeah Yeah, that would be a good one.
