Smash Mouth · Deprogrammed Music Podcast

0:32
It's deprogram into a band today's fan to Smash Mouth and
0:41
if I had to clarify it it's a tribute to this match tonight
0:46
episode because rest in peace we lost it.
0:51
And look the Integrity of our lists is really important to me
0:57
like the Integrity of the conversations that we have.
0:59
Is is of ultra importance and I don't want to come in here and
1:03
go. Oh, let's just redo the episode.
1:05
Right. Right.
1:06
We've, the four of us have already come through and made a
1:09
list. We've already made a list and
1:10
we'll get to that in a moment. But I did want to ask everybody
1:14
kind of again because this is the this is the part that why
1:19
we're here to talk about Smash Mouth so V.
1:21
I believe we started with you. If you can remember Verbatim
1:25
what you said last time it would be perfect.
1:27
But if not it's okay. So I've Vaguely remember saying
1:30
like I used to listen to Smash Mouth?
1:33
When I was a kid, my mom like had a phase.
1:34
Where is she? Because she like me has ADHD,
1:37
she loves listen to songs on repeat, but she's supposed to
1:39
Smash Mouth All the Time and this is a very nostalgic band
1:42
for me. But yeah, that's about the gist
1:45
of why I chose them. There we go.
1:47
And then core you jumped on pretty immediately even though
1:49
you drag your feet listening, I did, I did like it V had to
1:53
finally we're driving down to Ocracoke.
1:55
Oh, yo, let's finally, let's do it.
1:56
Let's listen to it. So that was a joy.
1:59
Enjoyable ride and it for me, it's just, like, Junior High
2:02
depending on what your age is Junior High School activities,
2:06
you know, skating rink bowling alley pool, whatever.
2:10
You know, Smashmouth was very much, the soundtrack of a lot of
2:14
lot of caucasians summertime activities.
2:17
There we go. Fredo you jumped on after, I
2:22
believe it was me, you John and Randy didn't episode.
2:25
And in you said what's, who's on the Smash Mouth?
2:29
On let me hon. I was like, okay, so why did you
2:32
want in on Smash Mouth? Well, I'm because they're fun.
2:37
There we go. It's easy for people to shit on
2:40
them and they remind me of a lot of things that I did in high
2:43
school to a lot of, you know, hanging out watching movies,
2:48
masturbating all these kinds of there we go.
2:51
Yeah. Sorry about your penis for a do
2:57
now. I mean to Echo The biggest
3:00
thing. The biggest takeaway from Smash
3:02
Mouth for me was fun. Like it is fun.
3:04
If you allow it be to be that we said a million times over when
3:11
we did the episode. The first three albums are
3:14
pretty much enough. Like you get everything you
3:15
need, right. I'm like by the fourth doctor,
3:19
okay? And by the fifth year ago boy,
3:21
okay, well do this dead horse, you got it, we get it.
3:25
Another thing I wanted to bring up was we talked a lot about
3:29
astral Lounge, the record but Astro Lounge being kind of the
3:32
sound of what the band is. So when you're putting together
3:36
your list for this because it was your first time here V and
3:38
now you have to redo it. So sorry about that.
3:41
But when you're putting your list together for this, like
3:44
what are you looking at, like, 4:00 for your songs.
3:47
So I like for me, I've done yours music theory and anytime,
3:52
I'm listening to a song. I like either a really good beat
3:54
or I like music depth. So like a lot of the songs that
3:58
had a lot of the Saxophone the trumpet like that.
4:03
Like Astro Lounge sound was something that really struck a
4:05
chord with me because I've always liked like Complicated
4:07
music. I like dissecting it so that's
4:10
why I like the love that. It is funny.
4:12
It's a here, Smashmouth and Complicated music.
4:15
Going to say there are things like people would laugh at that,
4:19
that notion, but if you have to make harmonies, it's so
4:22
difficult. When you have to combine as not
4:24
just like a like a computer, simulation, like they have the
4:26
drum, the drum machines and stuff like that.
4:28
They actually had people. Playing these instruments.
4:30
So it's like, it does have a bit of a depth to it and some of
4:33
their albums, not all of them is we know, a couple of them didn't
4:36
have depth, but so you're listening on the way to
4:40
Ocracoke. Yeah.
4:41
And putting your list that as you go like what are you looking
4:45
for in songs to keep? This was the first band for me
4:49
where I had done it where I didn't really like I knew of
4:52
them I knew about him but I didn't know like depth of
4:54
discography. So for me it was basically like
4:57
we're saying kind of anything that gave me that Fun,
5:00
Smashmouth Vibe of. Okay, I like this, you know that
5:04
I went into that this episode is simple as that.
5:06
Like, if I liked it if it caught my ear, okay?
5:09
Let's put it down and then from there, obviously, being there
5:11
when it down. But I didn't come in here with a
5:13
dog in the fight. Right?
5:14
Right. So Fredo again.
5:18
You kind of you kind of threw yourself in this, when you're
5:22
putting your list together for Smash Mouth, what were you what
5:24
were you looking for? I was looking for what I call
5:28
the Smash Mouth sound, which astral Lounge, is a perfect name
5:34
for it. It's um, like I said in the
5:37
original podcast, R.I.P Smashmouth podcast, I said it it
5:46
it sounds like, what the future, but you thought the future would
5:51
sound like the 50s. It was a very, very Jetsons feel
5:59
to it The Jetsons and like those Bugs Bunny, like industrial
6:02
cartoons, Martian martians. Yeah, yeah.
6:07
So, you know again, spoilers I'm going to just read this because
6:13
I We always ask the question for the final say, how many do you
6:16
think we're going to get through unanimously?
6:19
Be went ballsy. I did, I did, I did not realize
6:22
it radio is a very contrarian V here ways.
6:27
I should, I wish I could adjust my answer.
6:30
He went through. Well chance.
6:33
I did, it did not pay off, I guess.
6:34
Technically like, I mean, I know, I already kind of gave
6:37
gave it away. That you said 12 but you could
6:39
he change wealth and flat? Yeah.
6:42
Went. He went 12, I'm just saying you
6:45
could change it. Like no one would really know
6:48
has gone. Well, it would not let me out,
6:54
but Visa 12, Cory set, five Fredo said three.
6:58
I said eight and we were all way wrong.
7:01
Yeah. This is after about 10 minutes
7:03
of, you know, righto like well maybe I'll do 13 to make you
7:06
feel better and then just was like, well I'll do eight to make
7:08
Victoria feel better because realistically I think too.
7:14
Yeah. So anyway so again you know
7:18
we're not we're not fakes here so we're not going to redo the
7:21
list. We're going to take a quick
7:22
break. We're going to come back and
7:23

8:30
okay? Don't nobody hope heard it.
8:33
I'm gonna offer a public apology to V 0.
8:38
This is rare. That is well yes very rare
8:42
because of the fact that I was so harsh to her during the First
8:47
incarnation of Smash Mouth podcasts.
8:51
R.I.P, yeah, I was really rough and it was me being me, but this
8:58
was the first time ve got to meet me.
9:00
So so yeah. So here's my public apology to
9:06
UV. I appreciate it.
9:08
There we go. Wow, wow.
9:09
Wow, its history here. This this is doubly historic
9:14
episode. Yeah.
9:15
Um, so Before we like I know Fredo doesn't have his list.
9:19
He got rid of his list. But do you guys have your lists?
9:23
Because I was going to ask if there was anything that like you
9:26
brought up that you couldn't believe made it before we kind
9:28
of get into like the the nuts and bolts of what actually did.
9:31
Yeah. If he saves the day again
9:33
because I immediately we left the original night I was like I
9:35
believe because my note sections a clusterfuck so it's like okay
9:38
we did it. Boom.
9:38
Delete and I was like, oh fuck, I don't have my list anymore.
9:41
She's like no we got it. Yeah, all right, cool because
9:44
yeah, I was about to be fucked. Just like, yeah, I was about to
9:48
be in Fredo's boat. Yeah, with some for me, it, you
9:51
know, I just moved and, and, and yeah, Dustin knows this.
9:55
Yeah, I keep a keep a log where I've had every Every episode
10:04
that I've done for like the last two or three years and because
10:08
I've moved and everything still got, you know, I didn't get a
10:11
chance to put it in my book and I put the 20, my 20 pick, and I
10:15
put the top 10 in it and this one, you know, as like we were
10:20
done. I'm like, I'm not looking for
10:21
that book and I crumble them through.
10:22
If I remember correctly, you had like twenty one.
10:25
That was like, I want to say like eight or nine 21st.
10:27
Yeah. So, you know that fit No, I'm
10:33
sorry. I only had 120 first song that I
10:37
crossed out. You need to add an entire
10:39
notebook, bro. For your Final Cuts, a whole
10:43
section, only had one there was at 121 and then when I crossed
10:50
it out, a new another one, moved up to 21, there we go.
10:55
I know I know Fredo was pretty disappointed when Spaceman
10:59
missed, because he's like, you know, Spaceman, In me, you know,
11:03
I'm going to have it so I guess, yes, it guaranteed, guaranteed.
11:08
If you want to learn how to play this game, is his little insight
11:12
into playing the game when I'm on the panel.
11:17
It was a song called Spaceman. It will be my top 20.
11:21
Very end of story doesn't matter how good or bad.
11:24
It is mmm-hmm, was there any there was there?
11:27
14 UV that you missed? And you're like, man I can't
11:30
believe that. I mean sister psychic was my one
11:32
that I fought valiantly. For what's funny is you say that
11:36
but I feel if I remember correctly.
11:38
Fredo basically, oh yeah, he did and he was like yeah let's get
11:42
it in. That's right because he really
11:44
wanted the other one out. Was a yeah there was a lot of
11:48
negotiating. Why can't we be friends?
11:50
That's what we were fighting about.
11:51
Yeah yeah. But here's the thing, I think,
11:53
right? Yeah.
11:56
I didn't care. Yeah.
11:57
It was. Why can't we be friends?
11:58
I didn't care. I wanted you to stick up for
12:03
yourself, your cycle sexier, whatever helps but you didn't.
12:10
Yeah, you did it. And that's when we were like
12:14
eight hours into the episode, Put on the other set me when I
12:31
jumped in the shower. Yeah.
12:34
Pretty win. A suit and tie?
12:36
I know. Right.
12:37
But hopefully Lee. Well you can't.
12:41
Now I was going to hold that you listen back to it and learn the
12:44
art of playing the game. No, I just took you, I took the
12:48
field and field experience. I learned I learned.
12:51
Okay? Come back, doesn't by fire.
12:52
Come ready for Fredo? Never know who.
12:57
Yeah, yeah, it's not just me, I'm not the only asshole plays
13:01
this game, you never know who you're playing with.
13:05
They're not all like me who I've got my few that I'm like yes, I
13:10
need. Yeah, and I'm like whatever the
13:13
rest. So same question to you.
13:16
Cory was there something where you're like, man, I can't
13:18
believe I was all alone on that one or the Fonz, you were pretty
13:22
broken up about that. Was the first one I played and
13:24
you guys are just like, yeah, no.
13:26
Like that woman that came on when we were driving, I was like
13:30
this song is pretty cool. Yeah, I didn't write my name
13:32
down. Yeah.
13:33
They're singing about Henry Winkler here and then it would
13:36
like you guys just weren't having it in very immediately,
13:39
like, you talk about. Sorry about your penis.
13:40
Enos. I got like tiny dick in the room
13:42
energy because I was like, okay you were first weren't you.
13:45
You're like the you were like that was the first one I played.
13:47
Yeah. I was right after you and I was
13:49
like okay because I think Justin played All-Star and you played
13:53
another another walking on the sun I believe.
13:56
And I was like, okay, I'm going to be cute and go off the radar
13:58
here. Yeah.
13:59
And just fucking with, do you learn that day?
14:02
Yeah, yeah. For for clarity.
14:05
I let for clarity, I went with walking on the sun first because
14:09
okay. Okay.
14:11
And I think I went with All-Star, didn't I?
14:13
Um, I don't know if you led with it, but you definitely played
14:17
All-Star. I was the only one in the first
14:19
round that didn't get anything through and didn't even get
14:22
another single vote. Maybe it was that, yeah, I can't
14:25
remember, but the way you did the Fonz Cockiness was the
14:33
talking this in the way you said the font because it's the Fonz.
14:37
You can't limpin with the Fonz. Think about it.
14:43
Yeah. But it I can't sell the Fonz
14:45
without Fonz energy though. Well, yeah.
14:48
But you know what? Hey.
14:58
And I heard you say the fonts and it was like, no, if I was a
15:06
jukebox and you would hit me, I would have played nothing
15:11
changed our list openly though, if you came with some energy, I
15:14
actively would not have changed my life.
15:16
So I told you I several times. Oh I had that on my list but I
15:18
cut it because I hated it. I just didn't make an impression
15:24
like the Fonz, then you said you said the funds and you're like
15:27
nah, Yeah, on second thought I'll give you a little insight
15:33
to my game. I always keep 21 songs.
15:38
Fuck this guy. So now we know his strategy
15:42
that's why I kept saying it was 21.
15:44
So again we got to in unanimously, we got walking on
15:47
the sun and who's there, where the two that got in unanimously
15:51
and then usually the disappointed.
15:53
Yeah. Crazy like that.
15:55
Cuz then the next round is, like, all the threes.
15:58
In like, for the first time it wasn't.
16:00
Yeah, let's just put the threes through and be done with it
16:02
because this is where like the conversation really started
16:05
happening, right? Um, like there was a few that,
16:07
you know, I think can't get enough of you baby All-Star.
16:11
I think, was that knock me over with a feather one?
16:14
I was like, yeah, okay, fine All-Star.
16:16
Can't Get Enough. You baby that kind of went
16:18
through, but then we started talkin about like digging in
16:23
your scene. Ended up being in a fight to get
16:25
in and then we Talking about 2's because then you guys brought
16:30
back, but drink padrino and sister psychic.
16:32
And that was like, where it really came down, because the
16:36
three is that got knocked out, why can't we be friends?
16:39
And then the morning comes, we took Can't Get Enough For You
16:43
Baby instead of then the morning comes right.
16:45
I think that was probably one of the major hits.
16:48
Yeah. And then Fredo was like, you
16:51
know, Fredo was out on. Why Can't We Be Friends?
16:54
Yep, but I, yeah I didn't have enough.
16:58
Firepower to go? No, I need that.
17:01
I didn't because I already got the ones that I wanted.
17:03
Right. Okay.
17:04
Well sure. I'd like to have.
17:06
Why can't we be friends but I also feel like we don't need it.
17:09
Yeah not dying on that hill. Right.
17:11
There's no need to but that's where the conversation again.
17:16
Got interesting because then we have to figure out which one's
17:19
the one and that was where right now this is like which one do
17:24
you want? Victoria and Victor?
17:26
I was like, hmm. I don't know.
17:29
But I think you you put up a sister psychic again and then
17:33
like you know I think Cory. You said All-Star.
17:37
No. No.
17:37
I was walking on the sun. I believe.
17:40
Yeah. And then I think we kind of just
17:42
were like well walking on the sun is what they sound like and
17:47
then the song that had to fight its way in, we went with digging
17:50
your scene because it sounds like astral Lounge, which it
17:55
does looking for, right? So I mean it's a bummer to lose
18:03
an episode but I'm glad we were able to get together and kind of
18:07
like talk about episode. Yeah, as it happened.
18:11
You know what? This is not deprogram.
18:13
This time it's reprogram. Yeah, a little bit, a little
18:15
bit. You know what?
18:17
Honestly, if we had to lose an episode this was way too long
18:25
talking about Smash Mouth. We did I think it was an hour
18:28
and a half. Formed our 32 hours every day.
18:33
Yeah, it's like finish 16-minute episode.
18:36
Yeah, so for clarity here is our 10.
18:41
We picked digging your seen. As a matter of fact, let's play
18:44
digging. You're seeing.
18:44
It's earned that respect. Let's do that.
18:48
I got to dig it up, but let me read through the rest here.
18:51
Walking on the sun. Who's there?
18:52
Can't get enough. You baby All-Star.
18:55
Come on. Come on.
18:55
Holiday in my head. Heave-ho.
18:57
Whoa, padrino and sister psychic.
19:00
Rounded it out and dig which one which one was the one Corey said
19:08
I would have voted for it but I thought it was a remake Buck.
19:13
I think it was can't get enough of you baby.
19:14
I think it was. Yeah, because that would have
19:17
been that would have been three unanimous?
19:18
Yeah, yep, him. I could have sworn that was a
19:22
cover. That's it's also funny that like
19:28
I think both Cory and I were surprised that sorry about your
19:31
penis and made it to the next round.
19:32
Yeah but we also are like that was the first one we're both
19:36
like okay get it on. Yeah it's it's it's lasted long
19:39
enough. Yes.
19:39
It's the fact that we get to say that phrase twice makes me
19:43
happy. We're good now.
19:46
So here's a little bit of digging it.
19:48
Oh I should probably connect it to the device that would
19:51
completely if you want people to hear it.
19:54
Yes, that's probably I should do that.
19:57
There we go. It was just beginning, wasn't
20:00
it? That made us go to?
20:01
Yeah. Hmm.
20:03
Will you listen to that? And it's just like, no, that's
20:06
number one, that Smashmouth number two, that's good Smash
20:08
Mouth. Number three, it's exactly what
20:10
we said. It sounds like an astral and
20:12
yeah. Yeah.
20:14
So there we go. Digging your scene.
20:16
Well done. Let's let you get a moment in
20:18
the sun here. What's funny is like it sounds
20:35
very of its time, but also doesn't because it sounds
20:39
different enough from what was happening at that time.
20:42
But like, I definitely think of 1999 as home listening to it.
20:46
Yeah, yeah. So bizarre, I think I think of
20:51
1968. I think of girls and go-go
20:54
boots. There you go.
20:55
Dean Martin. Hmm.
20:57
But all in the future. Yes.
21:00
Exactly. What has to a loud sound?
21:02
Is to me. 1999 me. Yeah, right in.
21:07
So there we go. We have done it.
21:09
