Collin  00:04

Welcome to Oh, brother, a podcast of three brothers. Trying to figure it all out with your host, Brandon, Colin, and Aaron. On this week's show, amaze maze. Oh, hi. Oh, boy, I've made it. I've made it. Always good. Always good look, I'm not. So other than the human rights violations and atrocities. I now totally understand why companies over in like, oh, I don't know, some parts of the world, just like build a village and force their employers employees to work there. And then just, like dictate everything about their life. It makes running a business, like really nice and smooth. And like you're very predictable. And everything you don't have to worry about, like free will, of your staff members. And but like, you know, I understand it's terrible. You did

Brandon  01:01

you start a coal mine? Like what is happening here? Oh, no, no, right. Like, Did you are you making your employees sell their soul to the company store? Is that? Is that what's happening here?

Collin  01:15

Well, all I'm saying is that we have very high quality merchandise and it'll just be taken out.

Brandon  01:21

You can just take it directly

Collin  01:23

out of your paycheck and it's fine. Don't worry about it. But you need that you need the leash, it will sell you the leash. But we'll just that way you don't have to worry about anything anyway. Ah, no, no, it's just I'm increasingly frustrated by finding like really high quality, amazing applicants and then having nowhere to put them in a schedule and then feeling like well do I hire them and then hope to maybe find somewhere to put them later. So that's why I don't lose them. I just put them back in a folder and then call them whenever something happens or do I put them in my employment camp and provide housing and then just demand that they work when I need them to right that's a fine

Brandon  02:05

or probably not? Probably not that one. So I had to guess would it be that one at all? I feel like

Collin  02:18

obviously that's the wrong answer. It's like oh man like you're amazing like I'd love for you to be on Team but like I haven't put you so this is where we find ourselves these days. These these drizzly drizzly days. Yes. Well, I mean,

Brandon  02:36

that is unfortunate. But on the other hand, it actually does feel like fall so that's about

Collin  02:43

it. I know. We were we went we picked pumpkins in 91 degree with our unfortunate this is this is not fun. Ah,

Brandon  02:53

I got up towards this morning. It was like he's

Collin  02:54

praying. What's, what is this? It's overcast. And like rain, drizzle. And it's it's in the 60s. What? What in the great leaf falling man mania is this? Yes, it was

Brandon  03:12

glorious is what it was.

Collin  03:15

Yes, it definitely feels like all sets Omus Yep. We're very, very happy about that. We we went to Yeah, we did go pick pumpkins at our at our favorite local pumpkin patch. So it's one that you can go and you can get the shears and cut them online

Brandon  03:42

directly actually have to like sever the Kinect. Wow.

Collin  03:46

Yeah, they have, they bring a subset, you know, close to the front so that if you have real littles or you're not able to get up to the patch, you can get them there. But yeah, they leave a huge amount out in the out in the pumpkin patch

Brandon  04:03

to take care of loppers out there and there's like,

Collin  04:05

ya know, you they give you a little cart to wheel around and get the little cutter you don't little shears. So you can tote around your your pumpkins. And yeah, this is the one that we had another there's another local pumpkin patch that closed down like five years ago. And this lady used to go to that as a kid. And then she was really sad that there wasn't going to be any pumpkin patch for her kids to go to.

Brandon  04:28

So she was like, well, I'll just start my own.

Collin  04:34

And so interesting. She started a pumpkin patch so that her kids could have someplace to go and now the rest of you know we got there and it costs you it does. It's like eight bucks to get in. And then the pricing on the pumpkins is a little fuzzy as one of those things right of like

Brandon  04:52

Yeah.

Collin  04:56

So I don't know how much pumpkins are I just note what I paid. So there are like too much, right? Like, I feel like, listen,

Brandon  05:06

I know 2023 Doesn't make any sense. Okay. And no, inflation is like running rampant and things just cost a lot of money, right. But some of those things, it's like because of supply chain, right? Like because of like, products contain things that need multiple users and the price of the base ingredients has gone up. And so the price of the finished good has to go up to compensate for that. Right. I understand that. Right. I understand that poor poor billionaires can't. They can't stand to lose one single cent and profits. And that's just unacceptable, right? I understand why they do. I don't know. I don't know. They'll they're How will they be able to dive into their Scrooge McDuck pool of money if there's slightly less money in it?

Collin  05:57

So I thought you were gonna make a deep sea submersible joke there. So I'm glad you didn't go there. Oh, no, I wasn't

Brandon  06:02

going there. Ah,

Collin  06:04

but, um, kins. Don't have them at. Right. Ya. Single use.

Brandon  06:16

Good. People don't use pumpkins for eating. Okay. Yes. Some people eat pumpkin pie. But that's a different kind of pumpkin anyway. The artisanal pumpkin.

Collin  06:32

Right, you just put it in the ground and leave it there. So like,

Brandon  06:40

Yes, you had to have labor to put it in the ground. But that is all right to pumpkin and gourds are notoriously hearty, right. They're not like, you know, not just gonna die, like magically right. They're not, they will be like, and they will grow whether you

Collin  06:59

want them to or not, in a lot of cases we'll cut to get to July of next year when people go, Well, I had a pumpkin on my front porch, and I kind of let it rot and now I'm growing another pumpkin by my porch.

Brandon  07:11

Yeah, or like, or there was a raccoon that got in there. And now there's random pumpkins growing in my flower bed. And you're right, there's like hours. Yep. Like, again, this is an odd thing. Like, you don't just have to make things more expensive. Just because other stuff

Collin  07:26

is more. Right. That's, that's weird. Weird plan. Right? I don't really know. Right.

07:34

That's an odd choice. But I also feel like side note, a second thought. I feel like if you are going to start a seasonal farming endeavor, right?

Collin  07:48

The Pumpkin Patch,

Brandon  07:50

much quicker turnaround time than the Christmas tree. Right?

Collin  07:56

This is a good this is a very good person. You don't need five years of lead time or whatever.

Brandon  08:01

Yeah, you just need a couple of months, however long it takes a pumpkin to grow. Which the answer to that but it's not five years. I know. Nope. No, I feel like you have everything up and running in a year. Right. Like started in the plant stuff in your field in the spring? Or maybe summer? Probably some of those things that don't take that long. No. And then boom. Pumpkins, like yes, you would have to stagger plant them, right. Like, you plan a bunch, like,

08:39

I don't know, I'm going to pretend that it takes two months for this to happen. I don't know. It's probably too long and probably like a month. Right? So you probably need to start them in like

Brandon  08:51

August and then at the end of August, you can plant more because he kind of last all the way until Halloween when he stopped coming to pumpkin patch. So they don't know.

Collin  09:02

Right? So you do it is because you can't have them all be perfectly ripe and ready the first day?

Brandon  09:08

No, no, you have to stagger the Yep. Release. Right. So you have to go like Ah, today this week. Take your loppers in your magical cart to that side. And the next week you go haha you can go over there and also this middle section right like there's kind of open up as the weeks go by have more rows. They can go in more pumpkins available.

Collin  09:40

Well and and they also have expanded over the last couple of years of like what they offer they she's really interested in trying this she calls it the gourd tunnel. Imagine a big long tunnel with like archways and then okay, grows, grows gourds so the vines grow and cover it make a tunnel And then they hang down so you can like walk the tunnel like in amongst the gourds

Brandon  10:05

why cool? Like, why? We like I don't know gorgeous or cool like after, like,

Collin  10:12

again, the gourd I think its sole

Brandon  10:17

purpose is to be dried and turned into other things right like I don't know what,

Collin  10:23

like a ladle or a birdhouse Yes,

Brandon  10:25

yes perhaps a ladle or a birdhouse or several birdhouses, right, I don't know, or other things but like, what, like, because a lot of this stuff is really weird. Because I there's a lot of effort that goes into

Collin  10:38

growing fruits, I guess that people don't consume,

Brandon  10:45

right? Because there's a lot of these gourds and stuff like nobody eats that. They're not for eating. They like right, carve them into sculptures and set them on table.

10:58

It's just to be pretty.

Brandon  11:00

They're really weird when you think about it, right? Like

Collin  11:05

what is the whole industry of growing this is fruit, it's like, not for eating.

Brandon  11:13

You know? Because like you don't eat pumpkin, you eat pumpkin pie,

Collin  11:17

once a year. And then

Brandon  11:20

you allegedly have pumpkin flavoring and stuff, but that probably doesn't contain any real pumpkin anyway, so like 0% pumpkin in your pumpkin spice lattes boilers. Well,

Collin  11:32

so well, so here's the thing.

Brandon  11:33

Here's the thing again, pumpkin spice.

Collin  11:35

It's the spice that you put on a pumpkins. It's not it's not actually no, no pumpkin.

Brandon  11:41

No pumpkin there. No right so it's like we a lot of people think they like pumpkin and they don't actually just like you don't actually like pumpkin because

Collin  11:50

it's not good. Now if you just yeah, you just had raw pumpkin out of that. Nobody know what you like is cinnamon nut but and nutmeg, cloves or whatever. Right? Yeah, Ginger, Ginger,

Brandon  12:06

instead of yeah, maybe a little. Not too much nutmeg at that. Oh, yeah, that's another spice we just make it look at your food and like okay, now it tastes that maybe he's like set the spice next to it. And it's

Collin  12:16

like, that's enough. Yeah,

Brandon  12:19

I'm on the record multiple times saying pumpkin pie is worst pie. So that's uh, that's good. There you go. So when we do the definitive pie ranking list, pumpkin is last Okay, all the pies you can possibly have pot take his last hot pot. Yeah, yeah, at this point. It's pretty cool. Pretty lukewarm because I've made it so much so it's like there are enough my tepid taste

Collin  12:56

we have to go to our our fall

Brandon  13:01

celebrate celebration II thing. Oh, is to the pumpkin patch slash corn maze. That's coming soon as a school right? Yeah, this they're like for like the reward thing for like every quarter. They do like a thing for like, kids that have done like good behavior II stuff right

Collin  13:21

there. Go there. And then we go to the corn maze.

Brandon  13:26

Which again, I believe I brought up last year. I don't know why it's not called a maze maze. But anyway, that's coming up soon. I don't know when that is. Right. I don't remember. Let's uh, we will be going to the pumpkin patch as well. Right? We they let us go get one so I always take one bring our season because let's be real if I went to a pumpkin patch, and did not bring home a pumpkin for my wife. Dead, right. That's just

Collin  13:55

jail straight to jail go

Brandon  13:58

to bed with no supper for me. So we have another thing.

Collin  14:08

Friday. Like weird, surprise. Celebration.

Brandon  14:18

I couldn't think of the word celebration. I don't know why. Because I just said it a minute ago. For the kids that did really good on them their state testing last year. Okay, excited. They have decided that as incentives. They need to say hi. If you do a good, you can go to a celebration and do a thing. So they're doing that this Friday. Hey, what's that? What's a day? All right, so I Okay, first of all, I need to be known that I did not make these decisions. I was invited to the meeting. But they were like let's have the meeting at seven o'clock before school

Collin  14:57

start. Oh, No, that's not how this works.

15:03

No people

Brandon  15:04

have their meetings like right after school at like,

Collin  15:06

315. What are you doing? Why would you? Yeah, no.

15:16

That's okay. That's fine. Yeah, go ahead. Sorry. No, you're fine. Yeah. So they have decided that they're going bowling. Oh, yes. Okay. Now, I have volunteered to stay back at school. Oh,

Brandon  15:32

mostly because there's a bunch of fifth and sixth graders that did not qualify. And part and a lot of them like, I've moved into the district, and we don't have their

Collin  15:42

scores. We don't know if they qualify or not. That's fine. That's

Brandon  15:47

why they're like, you can have a sub, we'll get a sub and they can stay with people. I was like, that's what's the principal is like, that's really lame. And it feels like we're punishing all the kids that did not qualify. So do you think I could stay instead? And we can just do like button stamp stuff

Collin  16:05

when she was like, yes, like okay, got it? No, that that that does not feel good? Yeah, it didn't

Brandon  16:16

feel good to me, right? It didn't it didn't sit right being like, Okay, we're gonna get a sub and we're just gonna leave all the kids with the sub so make sure you like leave them work and stuff. I was like

Collin  16:28

no, I don't want to leave

Brandon  16:31

work for people like we might have. We're gonna have like, reading time but like we're not we're not gonna work right? Yeah, got like, do STEM things we'll probably like watch something fun right? Like we're gonna like still go to recess like we're

Collin  16:54

not going to be doing work get out of here like what?

Brandon  17:00

I'm still sending a special class like get out by Yeah, like Yeah, it's gonna be you know, as normal as can be for sure. Yeah. So I want you to that anyway, they decide to go bowling and then go to a park. But I don't remember which one they're going to Springfield to go bowling. Which is interesting because there's a bowling alley

Collin  17:22

10 miles away from our school. That's a interesting plan.

Brandon  17:28

I don't know who this definitely got to Springfield and then they're going to have like pizza in a park. I don't remember which Park probably close to go.

Collin  17:41

Also, they they picked to go bowling at Sunshine lanes ah yeah yeah. Interesting. choice right now. Yes. Now knows now get Yeah,

Brandon  18:00

so I listeners for for those for all of our listeners who do not live in Springfield, Missouri. Sunshine lanes is notorious. Now again, it this information is old. Okay. It says old information. I do not know the current state of sunshine lands my fellow teachers are going to report back to me because I told them this I told the English relay the teachers English who is going I was like why did they pick that one? Sunshine lanes notorious for the it's the drug bowling alley, right? Yeah, that used to be the drug bully.

Collin  18:41

So like

Brandon  18:44

you know, maybe they're cleaned up their act,

Collin  18:46

I imagine. At like,

Brandon  18:50

you know, 1030 on a Friday morning. Probably not the drugs rolling. Right. Right through 1030 Friday night.

Collin  19:01

That's a different story. Different clientele different different clientele, right?

Brandon  19:04

Yes. So again, but I was just like

19:08

why would they go there? Do

Brandon  19:10

they know?

Collin  19:11

Do they know that they pitch to somebody to really to tell them somebody tell

Brandon  19:16

I didn't tell him I kind of want to go tell the lady like hey, did you know that you pick the like sketch bowling alley? Say that

Collin  19:25

as they pull out in the buses have fun with the drug alley?

Brandon  19:28

Yeah, have fun there. I want I forget which park it was. But I also want to be like, Wait, which? Which Park did you pick? Hold on?

Collin  19:38

Concern. Now?

Brandon  19:40

We make another bad fleece like what? We can have a fun. We're gonna see some exciting stuff.

Collin  19:49

That's going to be a cultural experience.

Brandon  19:52

Ya know, like, I don't know. But the idea is good. The idea is good for the future. Again, I didn't go to the meeting it you know

Collin  20:00

seven in the morning. Because no, like, gross, but Well, yeah, that's,

Brandon  20:07

I gotta come up with some more activities.

Collin  20:10

Friday.

Brandon  20:11

I don't know exactly what we're gonna do. So I might have to run to Walmart and buy some just like random stuff, but we're gonna do a couple stem things probably. And then have some reading time we might watch something

Collin  20:24

interesting. I don't know, we'll watch but I mean, watch a little movie in the morning. So the short, I don't know. October sky,

Brandon  20:32

October sky of Oh, Remember the Titans? That's the

Collin  20:38

movie. Ah, there we go.

Brandon  20:41

The movie. I've seen the first 50 minutes of 100 million times.

Collin  20:47

Let's just touch on that. Why started

20:48

moving like every

Collin  20:51

movie was always longer than we could watch. So you did just watch the first like 35 minutes depending on how long it took the sub to get the thing going, how many distractions there were to 50 minutes of it. And it's like, you never saw the end of these moves. Downhill because

Brandon  21:10

it was only ever for like one day. Yeah, exactly. never came back.

Collin  21:15

Yeah. And so it was like, Oh my God. I remember one time we were

Brandon  21:22

moms served in my sixth grade English class. Right. Okay. Yeah, we were watching some sort of movie that went with the book though. Right. And so we got to finish it the next day. She She's like, I'm gonna rent this dang movie, because I didn't watch it five times a day. I gotta go.

Collin  21:44

Yes, that's, yep, that's definitely.

Brandon  21:49

However, it's like lightning or something like that. Right? It was she was like,

Collin  21:52

I gotta go see the end of this thing? No, not. Oh, yeah, I can I could see. It's like, No, this is not. Yes.

Brandon  22:10

Yeah. I don't know why. I don't know why you would pick. Like, I know. It's hard to find, like, interest things, right? If you're gonna be like, movie day, right? No, yeah, back in the day, but like, just really like a full theatrical length movie. And I get to see like, 40 some minutes of it, right? Like, how lame is this? Right? So no wonder I was so bored. Why? This is why I don't like remember Titans, right? It's not nothing against Dinsdale. It's a good movie, good message, all

Collin  22:41

that stuff. I saw the first third of that movie so many times. Because all the

Brandon  22:53

coaches or Endor history teachers would just show that when they were gone, like,

Collin  22:57

watch this. Yeah, and the best was the best because they had just a subset of movies available at all times that the next sub had no idea what you had previously watched. And so they typically just picked the first movie that got pulled that was in the little rack there. And so you could have a sub do several subs in a row for different classes. All the same kind of like two ish movies. Yeah, they're really terrible. Which was Yeah. Oh, just so much fun. No, that was horrible. I really do that. Yeah. Back, but I guess you know, but now I think you just have more. It's more accessible to have like, a TV series, right? You can watch it. It's you can find a nature documentary or something like that a lot easier. Maybe? I don't know.

Brandon  23:51

We're gonna watch some of that stuff. That's probably where if we're gonna watch anything, it's about because I have some of that saved in places. David Attenborough. i Yeah, I do have the planet Earth thing. D my Amazon Prime. Right.

24:04

Right. Watch

Brandon  24:05

the Wheel of Time Season Two. That's out. Look for that review coming,

Collin  24:08

huh? Yeah. Certainly something you could do get to

Brandon  24:14

that in about six, eight months when I finally remember. Or like something, something like that something? Something like yeah, like, not like an like a movie movie but like something right? I have. My my other thing What's another thing I have a subscription. The only other thing I have a subscription to is? This is how nerdy I am. Right. Here's a peek behind the curtain. I have. I have an Amazon Prime. Right. The only other thing the only other streaming service that I have a subscription to is curiosity is sort of like science documentary. Yeah. Yeah. I can show that as a class.

25:01

Good that's certainly

Brandon  25:02

that's the one that's where you find wild weather with Richard Hammond an integral part of my curriculum in the springtime

Collin  25:10

look, I'm not saying it's entirely based off of this but also

Brandon  25:13

not but like, look, I K for real though. I watched it before we start certain units because like a lot of the stuff in those episodes is the stuff we're going to cover in the units. So it's like the introduction, Hammond so like, you know,

25:27

that's good. It's

Collin  25:30

It's good stuff

Brandon  25:34

so it works kinda a little bit right you know, fine

Collin  25:41

yeah, that's this week basically mysterious bowling alley trip and you know, read because reasons. The other reason there is the bowling alley by the office in Springfield enterprise lanes. Yeah,

Brandon  26:00

that was always the nice one. Yes, it

Collin  26:02

smelled like smoke like every you know, but that was just how bowling alleys belly

Brandon  26:07

I smell right?

26:08

Yeah, yeah.

Collin  26:10

It is. It is it is shockingly busy at weird times of the day. So I I'm I can't I don't have my finger on the pulse of of bowling alley popularity, but they must be at least to some extent for how busy are these? These things are at yeah, like

Brandon  26:33

I mean I don't know either. Like I

Collin  26:36

used to go to

Brandon  26:39

enterprise lanes sometimes. And then we would go mostly to Battlefield lands just because it was more conveniently located. Sure. Right. It's important. baseboard right now does did battlefields lanes smell worse?

Collin  26:54

Yes.

Brandon  26:55

But like it was nice enough first finding there

Collin  27:01

I don't really remember

Brandon  27:04

any other but like I never went to Sunshine lanes because of the aforementioned reasons. Right. And then there was the what was the other one there was one more people had their birthday parties are randomly the

27:23

the lighthouse

Collin  27:24

Lane light? Yes, I think

Brandon  27:26

so. And stone. Yeah, I couldn't think of the name. It's there was the Christian one.

Collin  27:29

Yeah, that one was the that was the one that had the what it was also like rundown. It was rundown. But it also had the the speedometer or whatever the it would it could tell you how fast you were bowling. Did you did you go in and had that?

Brandon  27:46

Oh, I don't think that was ever working.

Collin  27:48

Okay, I was right. Yeah. I

Brandon  27:49

seem to remember that that existed. Yes. It did exist. It

Collin  27:52

did work. So that was always the thing to go there and try and you know, build faster than beat bowling speed bowling executives. Yes. Sounds terrible. Yeah. This is like why? Why would I want to let me hurl this 16 pound ball as fast as I can. Surely my shoulder will survive this without injury?

Brandon  28:15

Oh, yes. Obviously. Right. Again, yeah, not really a bowler I haven't bowled

Collin  28:23

I haven't bowled in I can't even really

Brandon  28:28

remember how long it's been since I've bought. I know. I think

Collin  28:31

I went a couple of years ago. Susan's nephews son at a birthday party

Brandon  28:42

at a bowling alley in Nixa.

Collin  28:46

Yes, made a made a big impact on you.

Brandon  28:49

Yeah, I don't know how long ago that was. That was at least two years ago. Prior to that experience, which I completely forgot how bowling work right. It took me like by the eyeball two games like the fifth frame of the second game. I was like, Oh, yeah. Okay. I remember this now. Bowling is another one of those activities that I would engage in sporadically throughout my life like

Collin  29:19

and never improved. At all. Yeah, like pool

Brandon  29:23

is on this list. Also, like these play pool frequently. We would sometimes play at the bowling alley. We would sometimes play at my friend's house because they had a pool table.

Collin  29:29

Never got better.

Brandon  29:33

Consistently black at both bowling and the pool, right? It's not good. Good. But before that birthday party. I think it had prob I had not been bowling since I was in college. I would imagine. That would be the last time that I was very locked.

Collin  29:57

You know, I'll never forget You know, we I think we've documented on on this on this podcast that I wasn't exactly the most sporty of folks. So much so that when I learned that I could take a scuba diving class in college and get Pe credit, I said, Yes, please. But my friend, my friend found out that you could take Bowling for PE credit, and that and he took the bowling class. And he was actually on a bowling league in his high school before he moved. And so he found out that the grades is based off of your improvement throughout the semester.

Brandon  30:41

So the first one real

Collin  30:43

hard Yes, he did here. Yes, he does. Oh, no. Rolling Oh, basically did you know didn't do anything. And then by the end, he just bowled normally. And it was like, Hey, I got an A.

30:59

Yeah, that's

Brandon  31:03

a weird thing that, like I don't, I had to take like lifetime sports or something like that. But at several points in my life, I've had to do like, it has been part of some sort of physical education curriculum that I had to

Collin  31:17

like, know how the scoring works in bowling. Right.

Brandon  31:23

You have to like, do the manual scorecard thing. Yeah. No idea. Zero idea at all. Like I just the glad that I bowled in a time of the automated pin counter and the shirt computerized scorecard because

Collin  31:41

I legitimately don't know. Workers.

Brandon  31:47

Right? Like, I don't know. I know. Like, there's some weird shenanigans that happen with like, oh, you get split. And then you add this blah, blah. And like, I don't have no idea. I have no clue. Right? Just not that I ever get strikes. But like, you know, get a strike. It's like this plus love, like, like, I don't? I don't know. I don't know what that means. Right? I don't know how that works. Some magic has to happen, because the perfect game is 300. But there's only 10 frames and 10 pins per frame. So if you just straight multiply that would be 100. So what's going on here? What is bowling math? I don't know. Like it's

Collin  32:32

just like magnets. How do they work? Nobody knows. It is? Indeed. It's very confusing.

Brandon  32:38

I have no idea. It's very it's very weird, right? I don't know either. Right? My only other knowledge of bowling, of course, documented in our best sports movie episode where I reviewed the movie split. 2016 split. Yes. South Korea. Yes. That's the other. The only other rolling knowledge I have. I think that puts you in that lower kingpin movie with Woody Harrelson. But that is way not as good as split split is far superior to kingpin. I

Collin  33:11

distinctly remember Uncle Gary taking us to watch that is that memory that I have? Okay,

Brandon  33:17

nope. Yep, I was there too. Because I remember, here's like, oh, go watch this. It's a comedy. And then like, I remember being in the movie, like, I don't like I think I'm way too young to watch this. Like, I don't feel like this is a like, number one. This isn't funny. No, I am i Yes. I had this distinct feeling. Why am I here?

Collin  33:40

I distinctly remember the, the when they are shoving his hand into the ball return? Yeah. And going like, I'm sorry. Watch this. I'm very uncomfortable by about this right now.

Brandon  33:58

Yeah. Because that would have been. That was reiterated I don't know probably are right. That right. Is that true? I don't know. But it definitely came out in 1996. Sao Paulo Helen would have been in approximately.

Collin  34:18

Ah, I was grades. I was eight. I was eight. I was eight years old watching king pin. Yeah. Yeah.

Brandon  34:29

I would have been somewhere around 12 and even 12. I was going like, what is this? Why?

Collin  34:35

Yeah, I think it was. I mean, how do you even make a synopsis of this like?

Brandon  34:43

Well, let's see what is IMDb say?

Collin  34:46

Rory Munson was raised to be the best bowler in the world. But a fellow bowler, Ernie McCracken, and a misunderstanding with some rough punks leaves poor Roy with the loss of his bowling hand. Not to let this get him down. He gets a prosthetic hand it becomes a traveling salesman. Then, but it's really all downhill from here. That night on Wednesday he meets Ishmael was Amish and sneaks away from the farm to bowl because fellow Amish would disown him if they knew or convinces Ishmael to let him be his trainer and he'll make him the best bowler the world's ever seen. Goes on the road shortly after it actually finds that life outside the farmer is quite fun. Soon the paths crossed that of Ernie McCracken, who is still a topper hitting bowler. While Roy's career and life have laid in the toilet. Ernie is still drawing huge crowds and all the babes they both square off of the ultimate bowling championship to see which one truly is the champion.

Brandon  35:38

Yeah, yeah, starring Woody Harrelson Randy Quaid and Bill Murray Bill,

Collin  35:47

Bill Murray people,

Brandon  35:48

but this is like when Bill Murray this is like after Bill Murray just sort of gave up right and yeah, it's just sort of like doing weird things right. Like this is Bill Murray got like real weird.

Collin  36:01

This is not peak Bill Murray. This is not he was really working like I don't know. He was just

Brandon  36:09

always been weird. Right? Like he's always been a little bit just like weird and strange. Like you just kind of tell like, but like 1996 Bill Murray. Not not fun Groundhog Day though. No, no. Plus Woody Harrelson. I don't know if Woody Harrelson has been in any movie. I've enjoyed watching Law ever.

Collin  36:36

Look, I'm look, I'm sure he works hard, but likewise. Gotta be real here. Not I've never been a fan. Never. Yeah. Never been a fan. I

Brandon  36:45

don't think I've ever seen. Allegedly, he's really good at that true detective show. Where he's like, Oh, it's all weird and crazy. But like, I'm looking at the Woody Harrelson page here. Yeah, not seeing really anything.

Collin  37:07

Jumping out anatomy. Right. I don't I don't know. Yeah, nothing.

Brandon  37:15

Doesn't here.

Collin  37:18

Yeah, not even.

37:22

Not even remotely the

Brandon  37:23

best part of cheers. Okay, that's

Collin  37:26

which is you know, with with considering everything else they had to work with with that one. It's very sad that it wasn't he didn't even make a dent even top tier with that. Yeah. Right. I mean, yeah, just Ted Danson only like it's very just, you know, carries a lot of that

Brandon  37:43

show, I guess. But okay.

Collin  37:45

It's okay. Yeah,

Brandon  37:48

so what are the short the short version of the story listeners

Collin  37:51

is you should watch.

Brandon  37:53

Korea's 2016 Split much better movie, our superior bowling movie,

Collin  37:59

right? That's the one twin that you should watch.

38:07

And that tells you

Collin  38:08

something about kind of how low low of a bar we're talking about. Movies legitimately good. Well, sure. And

Brandon  38:14

also like, I don't are there even any other bowling movies? I don't know.

Collin  38:20

We're doing an impromptu top five best bowling movies.

Brandon  38:25

I've only seen apparently two bowling movies. Oh, well. The Big Lebowski has bowling in it. Oh, Uncle. Uncle that's not a buck.

Collin  38:34

I guess they go bowling in that one. Do they? Top five DB IMDb has a top 10 Bowling Movies List. Okay, do

Brandon  38:41

I just open that list? Right Okay. Yep, here we go. Number one. Never heard of this dreamer. That's a 70s movie. That tracks Okay, king pin.

Collin  38:53

That's number two.

Brandon  38:55

Is this listed in order these don't have it?

Collin  38:57

Ah no, these are spy star. Let's see this one. Oh has a star rating but it's low it's higher than dreamer.

Brandon  39:06

I think I don't know this list.

Collin  39:08

I think these are just these are just 10 Bowling movies. I

Brandon  39:10

think these are just because then we have apparently 1930 fours strikes and spares

Collin  39:18

whoo

Brandon  39:22

it's a short it's like nine minutes is that a movie? Like is that is that is there to be this is how you bowling movies there actually

Collin  39:28

are actually our national bowler Andy Vera Papa. Okay. Okay, this is Oh, this is this is literally a damaged key first shows the correct way to grip a bowling ball in the proper form for delivering the ball down the alley. He then performs several trick shots. This is just showing off. That's all it's just

Brandon  39:46

a bowling instructional video

Collin  39:49

to this day, and as we see the gentleman coming down.

Brandon  39:53

That's true. It does sound like that right. Wow, here we go. That's probably what sounds like

39:59

And

Collin  40:00

then we get it 2000 buys life in the bowling lane, which is so poor it doesn't even have a photo so it's only

Brandon  40:07

40 minutes long again, like

Collin  40:13

oh, this is this is ridiculous.

Brandon  40:15

The Big Lebowski has some bowling in it, but extensively about bowling. Nope The next movie is the most 1980s movie cover

Collin  40:28

ever. Like

Brandon  40:31

sorority babes in the slimeball bowl A Rama? Oh boy. Doesn't that make you want to watch the movie?

Collin  40:41

Now? Now, now number seven, probably in the real contender here the 1942 is the bowling alley cat. I with Tom and Jerry Sherry in

40:53

Technicolor. Oh, Technicolor Oh my god.

Collin  40:59

Heavens to Betsy

Brandon  41:03

and then you don't you don't think 2000s alleycats strike is a is a contender for best bully movie ever.

Collin  41:14

I'm really sad to hear that this

41:15

is a group of hip retro

Collin  41:20

teenage outsiders become involved in an inter school bullying rivalry. I would like to know what they take what they think retro teenage outsiders

Brandon  41:30

means they obviously did not listen to the outsiders podcast by us where we diagrammed the deep dive into the into the outsiders. Because that's wrong.

Collin  41:45

Yes. Yep. Then we have gutter balls 2008 murdery movie. That's the first one comedy horror and sports. Okay, the

Brandon  41:59

trifecta. And

42:00

then

Brandon  42:01

lastly, somehow atom the amazing zombie killer

42:05

killer.

Brandon  42:07

I don't is the best bowler in the league. Wow, this is yeah, there are a shortage of bowling movies. Right And also notice on this list no split. We're now far superior to any movie on this list could possibly be okay we need to acknowledge Korean cinemas triumph of bowling.

Collin  42:29

Split right. Well, I think what we need to do we need to we need to Yeah, we need to send a strongly worded letter I will also say when did that move when it split come out? 2016 Okay, well, this this list was created in September of 2015. So oh, they're part This hasn't been updated recently so they had no they had no knowledge of split at this point in time.

Brandon  42:55

They really need to update this list

Collin  42:58

right because that is they're missing

Brandon  43:04

a big opportunity here to have an excellent on their list and not just a bunch of ridiculous

Collin  43:14

this is upsetting. I don't like it so I think this is a real opportunity for young up and coming directors to make make

Brandon  43:26

a mark. There's a niche here. There's an easier for somebody to dive right into the bowling movie.

Collin  43:35

area that we're just Yeah. Yeah. Niche bowling movies. Not enough. I

Brandon  43:44

guess it's the Flintstones technically a bowling movie. If the bear in the basket. He has a bowling movie. Yeah,

Collin  43:49

I mean if Flintstones. I mean, Flintstones. I mean, that is a gag that is done throughout that. But um, oh.

Brandon  43:56

Fred's like character trait is bowler.

44:00

Yeah, yeah, that's

Collin  44:01

gotta be gotta be honest. And then further down here as the movie Bowling for Columbine. And that is a swing and a miss Google is

Brandon  44:10

not they missed. They didn't watch it. No.

Collin  44:13

bowling. Bowling in the title. Bowling in the title.

Brandon  44:19

Yeah, good movie. Good night. No for the bowling. Although that song is really catchy. They bet one side yeah.

Collin  44:31

Thank you know, I know Michael Moore kind of has his his quirks and he has kind of gone in weird places and whatever. But like, I don't know, like I remember watching that movie. With with I think Did you bring that home or?

Brandon  44:46

Probably I went to see the movie theater when it came out. I actually was listening to theater. So I went to see that in Springfield. And yeah, I might have something I would Yeah, I remember watching it. Yeah, I remember watching that in.

Collin  44:59

I think it was Probably one of the first or if not the first, like documentary style movies, that wasn't a nature

45:08

thing done.

Collin  45:10

And that was that was. Yeah, I think especially for that age, in that time when that came out, that was really made us made me think a lot differently. And I know you know, his kind of stick of showing up at places and you know, asking to see somebody and then having the long pan shot of him standing by himself and being like, they didn't want to talk to me like that. He does that. But going and talking to Marilyn Manson and sitting in his dressing room. Yeah, like, okay, like, this is actually like going places. He's talking to things. It was one of the first times where like, oh, yeah, you should go and like, talk to people about these things. Because because at the time that rhetoric of this is all Marilyn Manson's fault. Listen to the music. It's made them do this. And then he went talk to him, and you're like, oh, okay, that's something nobody else was doing.

Brandon  46:03

Yeah. Turns out maybe Marilyn Manson is actually got a great dude. But like, not that not for that reason. Right.

Collin  46:12

Many other reasons, maybe, but not that

Brandon  46:14

other things happened. But like, you know, not because of that, right? Was not responsible for the things that those things that people said he was responsible for. Now, other things? Turns out maybe yes, but not like violent outbursts of people in school setting that is not a thing that has into or condoning or, like encouraging in any way, right. Like, just saying like, Oh, yeah, that hold the dialogue of being like, oh, look scary, man. His fault, like, yep. And then someone like talking to him like, Oh, it's a very powerful moment. Right. Yeah. Well, the whole thing is right. You know, like you said, his stick is kind of weird.

Collin  46:56

And it's annoying, right? And I think at the time, it was very,

Brandon  47:06

kind of a powerful deal. Like Michael Moore's whole shtick, like, I'm gonna demand to be seen and blah, blah. Yeah, like, in like, 2023, it kind of loses some meaning because everybody behaves like that. And it's like, real annoying. Yes. Right. Like, now it's like, because everyone does that with like, trivial things. It's like, you have no respect for anyone else, right? In like the Danny's the eight, when he started doing it with like, the in his first documentary that was at that Roger and me about the Michigan plant or whatever. In like Flint, Michigan, and like the Ford plant LSF. Yes. Yeah. Like, then it was still very, very powerful. Then the 90s it was still very powerful, right? People weren't behaving that way. But now like, everyone does that if they're like, french fries are cold. Yeah. So it's like, Hmm, maybe stop. Maybe, maybe don't be a jerk all the time to everyone. Maybe that would be

Collin  48:11

yes. That's very, like, look at me kind of thing. Yeah. But yeah, and I mean, I had a real just talking about impacts on you that just that never truly go away. And is I was out to dinner with dad. And we were in a Mexican restaurant leaving. And there were two guys standing in the front reading menus in floor length leather coats, like floor length dusters. And I had a moment where I like, actively recoiled. And I like to be in and I know exactly why it is, right. Because you also don't like The Matrix. I don't like just stop why. Necessary. It's over stylized in some respects. And it's just it takes itself way too seriously. And it's led to way too many people and references that aren't necessary or helpful in our day and time.

Brandon  49:15

I'm sorry, dad. That was very I did not mean to do that.

Collin  49:19

But, but also, right, what was the big characterization of the Columbine shooting?

Brandon  49:27

Yeah, what trench coat wearing

Collin  49:29

the trench coat wearing? Look at these in the photos of them all over the news of them wearing trench coats and all like, now this was 24 years later, right? I'm still like, impacted by that, from that plastered all over. And these were two dudes just trying to figure out what kind of tacos they wanted. And I like was like, what? Like, my first instinct was like, Ah, no, like, bad guy. You're not okay. And trying to go like what like that's Thank you, thank you motorcycle for agreeing with me. But like, like really just how subconscious that was. And I didn't it wasn't even like, hey, oh gosh, where'd that come from? Like I knew boom, I have those images from the nightly news and stuff like, last year did my brain.

Brandon  50:17

Yeah, right. Like it's it's weird when you're young the things that stick with you like that I have a similar kind of thing, right? Like, again, it's always the negative thing because that's what gets all the publicity, right.

Collin  50:29

But yeah. When

Brandon  50:34

when when people say the word

Collin  50:37

terrorist, right, like being there is

Brandon  50:42

a very like specific image that a lot of people get in their head, right? It's usually revolves around like people of like Arab descent in a certain type of dress style Right?

Collin  50:53

Right. Mine is not that right? Because of

Brandon  50:58

because I'm just a little bit older right I'm in this like weird stop gap area right if a being to being a millennial that remembers Dan Quayle. I, my image of a terrorist is what like when the news would show all the IRA stuff, right in the Irish Republican Army and like the British, like all that stuff, like, Haha, like the ski mask wearing, like the black ski mask with the green turtleneck. Right, that is, that's what's ingrained in my brain for a very young age. From all the news that I watched, right? It was like, Mom would watch the mom watch the news all the time. All this like all the time. Like, that, that image of the Irish Republican Army, like, ah, guy, is what I think of because that's what the news labeled as this this is now this terrorist. Right? So that is my image in my brain, which is really weird. I know. But like,

Collin  52:10

that's well, but you know, that's, that's a that is really interesting. Because right, like, for me, whenever the when someone says terrorist, like, yes, it is of somebody of like, because of the news that was pumped out. Right. It's it is my brain condors of Middle Eastern descent, and and that's because that's what was just all over. That's just everywhere. So and now going, Yeah, and even now that that's, that's completely changed for a lot of a lot of people, they don't have had that image. So this, here's one word, but it's being applied and used in different ways. And it conjures different reactions. Yeah, it's really weird. Right? And it's

Brandon  53:03

not, you know, this word is just one example. There's other ones, right? Where it's like least that thing of like, you're talking about something. Like, both parties are not thinking about the same thing. Like, the what that means is different. Right? Which is because that's just the this weird thing. I have my I don't know why. Right. I don't know why that stuck with me so much. But like, because that was I was very young at this time, right? I wouldn't have been that old. But for some reason, these images from the news, because it was like a real big thing everywhere. I guess at that time. Those images in the news are like, burned into my brain, like a VAT. Right? So that's what I see is like the black ski mask clad guy, like, next to a building, right? And like, you know, it's really weird, like,

Collin  53:49

yeah, that really just kind of changed the context. Right? Of that. Yeah. connections of like,

Brandon  53:57

the dudes with like, on patrol, and there's like little kids crossing the street. And then there's dudes with like, machine guns, just like post it up next to a lamppost. Right, like, that's the

Collin  54:10

that's the the context that I have. It's really odd. I know. But like, No, but that's the that's the first connection you made the first association you had with that. And yeah, you know, those those, those impacts really do relate to the last.

Brandon  54:25

Yeah, so I'm sorry, Ireland. I'm sorry that that is my lasting impact. No, I don't mean any ill will, by that. It's just so I know, that's a complicated issue that I'm not well versed in. And that's certainly not enough to talk about here on an international podcast, but there's like that is my that is the seed that like pops into my brain. Well,

Collin  54:48

if you really want some interesting reading, you can check out a link in the show notes. It's 13 pages long published 1976. And it's titled, Ira, Irish Republican Army and the changing tactics of terrorism.

Brandon  55:00

I'm ready. Yeah, that's really weird.

Collin  55:03

Yeah, that's, that's interesting.

Brandon  55:05

Yeah. I think I had this conversation once with a guy that I used to work with. And he's older than me. Right? And he said that his vision of a terrorist, like when he thinks about that, because we were talking about this, and I just mentioned it, and he's like, yeah, that's weird, because mine is he thinks about like the the Olympic hostage taking, like the Iranian stuff.

Collin  55:29

Like that was,

Brandon  55:30

that's what his is because that's when he was like, younger. Right? And that was like that.

55:37

Yeah. Oh, gosh, yeah, that's a whole other

Brandon  55:41

thing, too. But yeah, it's just weird how you have these different contexts depending on like what you saw, or what was the thing at that time, right.

Collin  55:50

Yeah. Well, and it gets back to a little bit of that, like, General, quote, unquote, generational differences. Yeah. Like, these are just true. These are just real associations. These are these are real differences. Of that that people have, and they do need to be you got to take them into into consideration. Yeah, yeah. It's really interesting. So I'll be on the

Brandon  56:17

lookout for more of those moving forward in this ongoing segment, apparently. Yeah. Yeah.

Collin  56:24

Oh, yeah. This is real fun.

Brandon  56:27

We'll try to find it. Okay, here we go. I

Collin  56:28

have a mood light here for you. Okay, ready? Very switch. Okay. Yeah. All right.

Brandon  56:34

I discovered this week.

56:38

My new least favorite word. Okay. Okay. New, new least favorite word. Now that

Brandon  56:48

there is a bit of a weird backstory that goes along. I love weird backstories. So let me take you on the tangent. That is my brain to get here. Okay. So watching watching the Halloween Baking Championship as one does, right this time of year. And so we're sitting there watching it and they're making these cakes, right? Hey, they're like weird. Cakes. I don't know. We'll save this for the Halloween episode. But like Halloween, things are weird. I don't know. But they're making these cakes. And somebody's like, oh, yeah, I'm good. They're making like a red velvet cake. Right? Blah, blah. Somebody else says I'm making a green velvet cake. Which I don't really know what that means. I'm just assuming it's all the same ingredients plus green.

Collin  57:35

Yeah, right. And then somebody else goes, Oh, no, I'm making a black velvet cake. And the words black velvet. triggered my brain. Right? Do you know? Do you remember a song?

Brandon  58:00

Right. Do you remember the black velvet song?

Collin  58:04

Your I say it it's gonna trigger something. So this is 1980

Brandon  58:07

nines. blues rock hit by somebody named Alana miles. Right? The chorus goes black velvet. And that little boys smile. Black Velvet with that slow southern style. A new religion that will bring you to your knees. Black Velvet, if you please. Right? Imagine that was some like soaring guitar solo overtop of it. That's the song some sort of deep cut song from my childhood that I just started humming I started humming it to it so we had to like pause the show and like look it up and like listen to the song

Collin  58:54

I have no idea. Who will I've never heard of this song. Oh my god. I

Brandon  58:58

haven't I heard this. I remember I have this. This is very I don't I knew all the words. At some point in my life. Yeah, I don't know. At some point. I think this song was quite popular on the radio. Right? And, and I I know all the words of the song. I don't know why. I have no idea. But as soon as I turned it on, I started bobbing my head and I was singing along and I don't

Collin  59:24

I don't know how that was okay.

Brandon  59:28

I was like, I What in the heck. What? We were talking about it and I was sitting there going? What is this? What is this song even actually about? Yeah, turns out once you read the lyrics, you go because I didn't read the lyrics before I just sung along to things and didn't really click in my brain. I read the lyrics and I said songs about Elvis Presley. Oh my god. What? Yes. The song is like a It's like an

Collin  1:00:00

homage to Elvis. Right? It's a song about him. Right? If

Brandon  1:00:06

you if you read these lyrics, right? The way he moved, it was a sin. So sweet and true, always wanting more. He'd leave you longing for. Right? Like so during this big deep dive into this, these lyrics, and I'm uncovering a lot about my childhood that apparently I didn't remember because I know all the lyrics of the song for some reason, I don't know why. But, so and so I'm doing this. And the one of the article, things I was reading it said, instead of using the word

Collin  1:00:45

Omar, it used the word pin.

1:00:51

And I hate it. Oh, so much. It's Greek for a song of praise or triumph. But it is spelled p AEAN.

Collin  1:01:03

Oh, and I don't like looking at that word. No, that's painful that that I look, I just went to the eye doctor, and I've got really good vision and my eyes are perfectly healthy. Although they did say that my

1:01:20

oh, gosh, my optic nerves are like, enlarged. So they were a little concerned about that. But it turns out they're minor just normally large. Like that's they were just like, a large person.

Collin  1:01:31

Yeah, well, she was just like, I just yeah, she's like, I don't know, if you're like a normal is this big? Or if you're having the space to I'm just gonna do some like test real quick. And then she like, looked at healthy and was like, oh, no, your nose. I think yours are just normally this large. And I was like, do I get any cool superpowers? And she was like, no, no. So anyway, fortunate all that to say, I my vision is fine. I hate looking at

Brandon  1:01:58

that word that I don't like how it looks. Right. It's not anything to do with a lot of people don't like the way the words sound. Right. I know that like voiced is not popular. Right? I know that that's not a popular one either. Right? That doesn't bother me.

Collin  1:02:12

I don't like reading this. It. It offends me.

1:02:18

Read it. I don't know why I think it might partially because it's like, almost a palindrome but not know, right? Because it's like so close. Within it isn't.

Brandon  1:02:34

The fact that the word is peeing, right, like, pee. And that's just not helpful to say, right? I don't know. Nobody likes that. So like, Susan had also never heard of this word. So we had another big long discussion about like, what is this? Why? And, and I don't, it stands for Yeah, it means a song of praise. So again, black velvet is a song extolling Elvis Presley, right. Interestingly. What Why would they why in this, whoever wrote this article, I guess, was just in the source mode, because they just put this instead of homage or tribute. They said the song is a peon to Elvis Presley, and, you know, I don't like anything about that.

Collin  1:03:23

Nope. Not even a little bit. I'm in like,

Brandon  1:03:30

right, like how it sounds. I don't like other words, sounds like the bodily function, right? Number one. I don't like it doesn't sound normal in a sentence. Probably just because I've never heard it before. Right. So it sounds very out of place. You know what I mean? It's like, oh, yeah, comforting. It's discomforting because it's unfamiliar. But also, I don't like how the word is spelled. Looking at the word like physically looking at the word is like,

Collin  1:04:01

I don't I don't like it. Okay, so what's what's the what's the, what's the I wonder what the medical condition is becoming? Being dis disquieted and made uncomfortable by the sight of blue a word of smell? That's going to be another condition

Brandon  1:04:17

that probably has, there's probably some sort of weird word for that. It's like also not pleasant to look at. Right? Like I don't

Collin  1:04:30

Yeah,

Brandon  1:04:30

I don't know. But, yeah, I just wanted to take you through my whole tangent thought process here. Because it's just a little bit interesting. Plus, I wanted other people to remember this song. And I need you to listen to this at some point. If you recognize the rhythm or the music or thing, because I don't, I'm just guessing that it was a big radio song for a little bit. Oh, right. Sure. It must have been like a big radio thing in like 1990 Ah, right, something like that.

Collin  1:05:03

That's the only thing I can think of. Right. Okay. Because it's just like a

Brandon  1:05:09

Canadian singer, blues rock, country rock song. It's not cut. I thought it was I had it in my mind. It was a country song, but it's clearly not as usual as to do it like. I don't know. I know all the words of the song. Okay. Yeah. This is weird. And I don't know why. Again, apparently something else that made an impact on me when I was very young, apparently. So good job. A lot of miles. Thanks. Thanks, buddy. Yeah, it kind of

Collin  1:05:40

makes you wonder like, I'm gonna feel like me. Every now and then we're like, these things come up. And I go, yeah, if my brain wasn't up with my, my brain wasn't storing that information. What could I have done with my life documents? Like, What? What? How much more helpful? Could I be throughout the day if my brain wasn't storing that? Yeah.

Brandon  1:06:04

Yeah, oh, yeah. Here it says it was a number one hit or two weeks in 1990. Right, man, this is and we all know that in the 90s, when things were a hit on the radio, they just every like four to five songs. They would just play the song again. You had to specify it did that's how you did, right. This is why I know all the words to TLCS don't go chasing waterfalls. I remember that distinctly because I have a very distinct memory of being like Barb's house in Illinois. Right. And that's the radio. Oh, I I definitely remember this. Yeah.

Collin  1:06:39

Yeah, it was. It was bad. It was really bad.

Brandon  1:06:42

But apparently these two weeks in 1990 were enough to edge the lyrics of this song onto my brain.

Collin  1:06:51

That's right. Okay, that was a time right when that was that was kind of the I don't know if that was the height or maybe the tail end of the call in and request hours and stuff where people request songs like oh, yeah, I don't know how

Brandon  1:07:05

the height right that was still the height that we still went on till kind of the mid 90s I was still thing.

Collin  1:07:10

Yeah. Yeah. But like, like, yeah, I definitely remember being Illinois with there's like do as the request our Total Request Live. Right? Or they would come in and every person would request don't go chasing waterfalls. That was just one it was just non stop. And there's several other hits

Brandon  1:07:33

that summer, right. Like the

1:07:34

was that.

Brandon  1:07:37

Oh, man, hold on. Yeah, that was one of them. right all the time.

Collin  1:07:43

There are several other ones right, but like, it was crazy. I don't know. It was absolutely insane. All the time. That's

Brandon  1:07:54

yeah. Yeah, yeah. Oh, MCs. How bizarre. That was another one. Big popular cut right there here if that's the most 90 song ever, man like.

Collin  1:08:11

Okay, well, I know what I am listening to. I think I think what truly is the balcony there truly is the best. The best thing about these things. These are the music videos because like, I wasn't music, these are weird. They just they truly they don't they make no sense. Like they There's no

Brandon  1:08:36

rhyme or reason to these.

Collin  1:08:40

at all, I was just flipping through the one for the for the Elena miles, trying to look at that and like all of a sudden somebody shows up on a horse and I'm like, Well, okay, yes, that's certainly that. Like, one thing is people are like, oh, man, music media these days. They don't make any sense. And I'm like, I need justice. Just roll back a little bit. And first off, David Boies is gonna say hold my drink. Try and watch one of my music videos and make sense of what I'm doing but then like the 90s

Brandon  1:09:12

Right, like it just doesn't make sense. Have you seen the music video for the sign by ASA bass? Yeah, pick that boom right, or I just had another one before I saw that. Again, as far as like, pure chaos and insanity. We also cannot let the Macarena off the hook for anything. Right? We can

Collin  1:09:49

cut out one is so

Brandon  1:09:54

we're or your buddies. Everyone's favorite 90 Song Have something

1:10:09

Oh, yeah.

Brandon  1:10:11

Chumbawamba Oh

Collin  1:10:15

my goodness. I mean, yeah, yeah,

Brandon  1:10:20

I'm gonna I'd really listen to Atlanta miles again. So I really learned more than Chumbawamba right. Number one was burned in my brain for various like terrible reasons. Right like, I don't know. Just because it's like, like the ubiquity was too much like it was please no more stop Yeah. Oh my middle school self couldn't handle any more Yeah.

Collin  1:10:51

Well that will be in my head for the next week and a half.

Brandon  1:10:54

Plus, like, if you watch any 90s movie, like all of a sudden, just they're like, No, just the

Collin  1:10:58

background just and then like way in the foreground when they crank it up and yeah. And everything isn't Oh, man, that's okay. So I mean, as we're putting these lists together, I think I mean, we got to get through we got to I think we're coming up on when we need to get the Halloween one done. But then yeah, I think we got to do some, like most chaotic, like top five chaotic music videos. That's gonna come out. Oh

Brandon  1:11:30

my gosh. Oh. Well, they're all from the 90s I know. I am. I'm nominating a 311 video, right. I mean,

Collin  1:11:44

honestly, the first thing that I thought of was like thunder rolls by Garth Brooks. Yeah that one is I think that's that's a sleeper one where you don't expect it to be quite so intense. But it's true to Goodman.

Brandon  1:12:05

I mean, if you want to see what 9099 looks like, watch the 311 come original video. I mean, I mean, come original. That's original. Just watching that. Yeah, if you want to know what 9099 Just look

Collin  1:12:21

like.

Brandon  1:12:23

That's it. That's right. It's all there. It's all there. All of it. I can't

Collin  1:12:28

I can't get past the thumbnail video. Oh, hurts. No, no. Oh.

Brandon  1:12:44

For the for the music videos that define a whole year I nominate three cameras now. For 9999 9099

1:12:50

summarized

Collin  1:12:56

Oh my god. It's like

Brandon  1:12:59

every everything about 9099 exam isn't a video. It's everything

Collin  1:13:03

from the jeans to the hair. Right? Weird. Like,

Brandon  1:13:07

the girls are wearing to like, just no shirt to the like. There's random skateboarding. There's like, oh, yeah,

Collin  1:13:15

I can't forget the skateboarding like the weird, man. It says

Brandon  1:13:18

dudes and dudes in the baggy pants that really tight shirt and a beanie hat.

1:13:23

Uh huh. Right. So important. Breakdancing or break? Yeah, yeah, breakdancing. Mesh. long sleeve shirt worn over a crop top. Yes. That's the thing. There's weird makeup strange hair accessories. bracelets for days. days days Yep.

Brandon  1:13:47

Oh man this Dancehall beats mix with funk guitar and have always done

Collin  1:13:56

now next Oh, yeah, this is a definitely think okay, well, that's 99 I that will be in the show notes if you want to go back and experience that that is we submit that as our time capsule for 1999

Brandon  1:14:10

Okay, that's what I that's what I every March 11.

Collin  1:14:14

Pop that on. You should do do because

Brandon  1:14:19

nobody does it like 311 or breaking down competition like there really isn't. You know, that's certainly something that's right. Okay.

Collin  1:14:37

Well, well we'll have we'll add that to our list of things to write and go watch all of these music

Brandon  1:14:44

videos. We go on. We should probably we should probably just do it 90s by year. I feel like that could be like this like every like, not like consecutive weeks. Right? That's too much. That would be too much for your brain to the handle. But like we do like to have five music videos of 1990 and then just go through the whole decade. Right Okay,

Collin  1:15:06

that would be I think that needs to be done.

Brandon  1:15:08

I agree. Right that'd be hilarious. We can add that with our show draft we can do that with our top 590 shows that we didn't watch. We can do that.

Collin  1:15:20

The these are these this keep getting better. Better

Brandon  1:15:29

the 90s podcast rebrand here we go rebrand.

Collin  1:15:33

Missouri, you know about rats. That's why I was gonna say so. Okay. You know about rats?

Collin  1:16:30

I don't I don't think that was my scene. That time.

Brandon  1:16:34

Do you know? There's like a random building downtown and everyone streets on it looks kind of like an airplane hangar. Yes, that's it. That was it. That was red apron. I don't know what street it's on. But it's like you're looking around like that building is weird. Why is that here? That's that was the the airplane hangar roofing. But, hey, that's rad. That's where it used to be.
