0:32
It's deprogram the podcast where we try to get you into a band
0:36
that has banned surfing up some hot, hot jams, The Waitresses
0:42
notice. How I said serving up?
0:44
Yes, yes, serving up. Oh, comment or none at all.
0:53
Here we go. Here we go.
0:55
Yes. Yes, grown inducing is what I
0:57
aspire to. So, technically, I put the
1:00
waitresses up on the Board. But we're going to start with
1:02
you Fredo because I bounce them off you first.
1:04
So the waitresses. What is your because again I
1:07
sprung this on on us last minute.
1:10
What is your history with the with the waitresses?
1:13
Three songs, which Define my youth.
1:18
I remember when they came out and I don't know if I want to
1:21
give the title right now, as I'm pretty sure they're going to
1:26
come up on the list. There were three songs they're
1:30
big hit Which will be getting will get mentioned later.
1:36
The one that I will mention because tis the season as we're
1:40
recording, is there, is there Christmas classic Christmas
1:45
wrapping And to this day, when I hear it, it's got the line on it
1:52
and it will goes, most of 81 went along their line.
1:56
Went along these lines, or something like that.
1:59
Hmm. And it, it literally brings me
2:02
back. Christmas 1981 literally does
2:07
every time I hear it and I get this nostalgic, I'm feeling I
2:16
just I can't help it and I again that there's three songs will
2:20
mention the other one, the other two as as they come along, when
2:25
we're talking about them. But yeah.
2:27
Do you know a lot of these groups that I participate in?
2:34
no part of my youth and so it's my ear, you know, it's not it's
2:40
not something that that I look back on in the sense of like,
2:45
you know, I'm 18 years old and I hear the song Christmas wrapping
2:49
for the first time You know, I was 15 when it came out for the
2:57
first time, you know, so it's these songs of these groups are
3:03
all part of my youth and so I love them.
3:07
So, the waitresses is a time machine for Fredo in a way, you
3:12
needed a time machine this week. Randy, again.
3:15
I think we pitched this Tuesday. So for those listening it is
3:20
Saturday. So talk to me.
3:24
You said you didn't know anything about this man going
3:26
on? Yeah, yeah.
3:29
I well you told me that I would definitely know one of their
3:32
songs and it turns out, I definitely knew too, hey, and I
3:36
don't think I had ever. It's one of those things.
3:39
This is weird. This is weird.
3:40
I can bring this up is that? And I think the 80s are like
3:44
this is the high point of this happening that there so much
3:49
songs out there in the 80s that, you know, are prominent and that
3:54
they still get even played on top 40 radio sometimes.
3:57
And they also don't have a band in which you can attack like a
4:03
band name, which you can attach them to like You know, don't you
4:09
forget about me, what band is that?
4:13
Simple Minds, see frizzies at? Yeah.
4:17
Well, you listen, you've lived it, I didn't.
4:21
But there was another one crap. I can't remember it.
4:25
Now I can't remember the song that I played.
4:29
Yeah. I know I get what you're saying
4:32
because you know when you figure that 1980s how far is that, you
4:40
know, 42 years ago? Yep, I think.
4:43
Equivalent think about the equivalent in 1980.
4:48
You know, that was 1938 would be the equivalent.
4:53
So the music that was in 1938 would be, what we would be
4:58
playing in 1980, and there wasn't a lot of music from 1938
5:04
getting deleted, 1980, you know, but there still is a lot of
5:08
music. I'm 65 on.
5:12
It still gets played today regularly.
5:15
So I get it, man. Yeah, I got nothing.
5:18
I mean, I grew up in the 90s. I grew up like just hearing all
5:22
these songs Just from like a pop-up video being on in the
5:26
background. I think we talked about this a
5:28
little bit with Men at Work. How I had some difficulty
5:31
recognizing met at work from Huey Lewis and the News and and
5:35
on and on and on. But yeah they're just so many
5:38
especially like one hit wonder. Bands that they only have, you
5:42
know, one song really to their name.
5:43
They just went away. Like you don't hear from them
5:46
anymore and I never knew that the waitresses were the band
5:53
that did. I know what, boys?
5:54
Like, I might have thought it was.
5:56
The Pet Shop, Boys. I don't know why.
5:59
I don't know why. They don't even sound like, they
6:01
don't even sound close to the same.
6:04
No, no, nothing yet. So yeah, my knowledge going into
6:09
this I was very, very, very much at the basic minimal but what I
6:14
can say coming out of it was that I was I was pretty
6:18
impressed and I like their first record and what was weird about
6:21
it is that the tatars were very much that upstroke ska type.
6:27
Yes, sound, yeah. However, they had horns and
6:32
like, saxophone and stuff like that, but the horns and what I'm
6:36
talking about, the upstroke, like Scott sound.
6:38
I'm talking about, like, Of a 90s ska sound instead of like an
6:42
80s got sound which is very kind of interesting because Scotty
6:46
80s a little bit more like a little bit slower.
6:51
A little kind of a little bit more towards the reggae side and
6:56
then you get to the horn section and there's like a very very
6:59
prominent saxophone in all these songs and that is not Scott all
7:04
and it was it was a little weird to digest it first because I'm
7:08
so used to. A certain sound and like the
7:12
horns being like the main role in The Sound and sort of falling
7:17
along with like a, you know, the guitar version of course, or
7:21
something like that. And the saxophone sound kind of
7:25
made it in spots, especially the second album.
7:28
Made it sound experimental to me almost like was it experimental?
7:33
Jazz was like, I had a really really tough time, pinning it
7:38
down but Ultimately from listening to the, the lead on
7:44
this from listening to the lead singer on this.
7:46
I got tons of Blondie Vibes out of this.
7:49
I thought this was like, you know, she heard Deborah Harry
7:52
and she was like yeah. That's that's something I can do
7:55
a lot of like speak singing and a lot of like explaining her
7:58
songs in the middle of it. And there's even one of the
8:01
songs that sounds like it has like a little bit of the Call Me
8:06
part in it, like the dead animal, a little bit of that.
8:11
And I can't, I can't even remember which one it was.
8:13
But yeah, like just little things that I took no, yeah, I'm
8:20
sorry to interrupt you, it's just that you caught me with
8:23
that Blondie influence. I would just, I would disagree
8:28
really? Um, yeah, because the band came
8:31
out of Akron. Ohio, which is Evo territory,
8:37
devotee, exactly. And so, If you listen to them
8:42
and actually return a patty patty Donahue who is the lead,
8:48
singer her, and the and and the main writer, whose name I'm
8:54
forgetting the guitars, they both went to Kent State, which
8:59
is exactly where the marks mother's Berg and, and, and
9:05
Abba. What's his name, Archer, the am
9:08
I can't remember. But but but the mother both the
9:12
mothers Berg's and and Bob one of Diva went and not Bob wants
9:19
to me Gerald Castle. They went to Kent State so if
9:26
you really listen to him. You get at what I would figure
9:33
out and I've never heard of it, but in Akron sound, you know,
9:38
just like we got REM and and The B-52s out of Athens and kind of
9:42
gave that a little bit of a, you know, that sound that coming out
9:46
of that coming out of there. Where it's experiment.
9:50
Like yeah, you're right there with with the experimental
9:53
because obviously Devo was experimental.
9:56
They came out about this, you know, blog you've been around
10:02
for a couple years but I don't think Blondie at that point has
10:04
been National and I thought I thought that was like Prime
10:10
cbgb's like 76 77 and I thought that she she has a definite
10:15
National that's New York. Oh no, I'm saying like the but
10:18
that's how like you know, how she started and kind of got
10:21
elevated right after that. She had said she had some real
10:24
big hits early on. Yeah.
10:26
But to me Deborah. Harry, sounded sexy.
10:34
Yeah I need Donahue didn't sound sexy.
10:36
She sounded sarcastic. Yes, yeah that's here.
10:40
She you know she was Daria before Daria.
10:46
You know, Mark a stick very nonchalant, very go fuck
10:51
yourself. I don't care, you know, Deborah
10:58
Harry had a little bit of that to it but I guess I see what
11:01
you're saying that I know. And don't get me wrong, yet.
11:05
Deborah Harry did have a little bit, but he was but she tried to
11:08
come across as sexy and and and and I didn't get patted down
11:15
here, trying to come across a sexy.
11:19
Even as Fair yeah even in the ones that are kind of
11:22
provocative about snacks and yeah right.
11:26
So this this is where I jump in with you know, the weight.
11:30
I know nothing of the waitresses.
11:31
I knew two songs you know, going like I was aware of two songs
11:36
going in and they jumped off the list because you know, there's
11:39
not much discography here and one of the things I discovered
11:43
is I've had a hard time, this is weird because I'm going forward
11:46
as opposed to going backward. The more the more recent
11:50
Paramore stuff at like, after laughter and I don't know what
11:55
the new ones going to be called, but they've released two new
11:57
songs and I, you know, they, they had a very Punk influence
12:03
and I realized, you know, it's not Apples to Apples but
12:06
listening to The Waitresses. I was like, oh I see a little
12:10
bit of what Paramore's doing. Now, it comes from the
12:16
waitresses and maybe it wasn't Direct.
12:18
Yeah, but I had a bit of a roulette realization with that I
12:24
to enjoy it. I rather enjoyed the second
12:29
record. The second record made me wish
12:31
that there was at least a third. You know, I don't want to make
12:36
it seem like all these bands, criminally underrated all, you
12:38
know, I wish they'd, you know, toward well into the into the
12:43
2000s. All, man, I wish we had many,
12:45
many more records, but I think one more record would it say She
12:48
hated me just fine. Just to see where they would
12:50
have gone next. But at this this brings us to
12:55
the the next wave of the discussion because there's only
12:57
27 songs here. How did you go about putting
13:01
your list together? Fredo Same thing.
13:04
Every time I got to do ours is not bad.
13:11
It's starts with the memories, you know what's tied into to me
13:19
emotionally. What do I barrier?
13:23
I barely remember. And then what have I never
13:27
heard? So I always put the the stuff I
13:32
know is always going to be top of the list because I'm
13:35
emotionally tied into that. And then the stuff that I can
13:39
kind of count that sounds familiar.
13:41
Oh yeah. You know what?
13:42
Yeah I think I know that that comes next and then as far as my
13:47
listening and then prioritizing and then the stuff I never heard
13:53
though with the waitresses a second.
13:55
Now my never heard and so my list is first album Heavy.
14:02
And and I'll be honest with you that first side of that first
14:06
album is pretty near perfect side.
14:09
Hmm. As far as music and you know
14:16
catchiness and Pop sensibility. You know, all that kind of
14:23
stuff. I mean, there isn't a bad song
14:26
on that first side. Though.
14:29
But I went early, I went with a lot of the stuff that I knew,
14:32
and a lot of the stuff from the first album.
14:35
So which how did you approach this one?
14:38
Randy. I give this about four full
14:43
listens and I think my Approach for bands and I'm not familiar
14:48
with is that you give it two times around it, you go around
14:53
and you listened to it twice. And then on the second time, if
14:57
you recognize something, if you're like, oh yeah, that one.
15:01
Put it in especially since its 27, put it in, its going in the
15:06
recognition. And you kind of said it with
15:09
sort of Algae thing for a know I think was kind of important
15:13
because yeah, this was sort of expedited in a way and then
15:18
unlike third fourth, listen it was a little bit of what don't I
15:22
have yet and what kind of defines them even if I didn't
15:25
really love the song. I tried to say like okay this is
15:30
there sound whether you like it or not.
15:32
So I'm gonna I got to have to go with it here which I don't
15:37
usually do. I usually go back to just what's
15:40
Me the best and that's it. Like that's you know, that's
15:44
usually my game plan but yeah it like on the third and fourth
15:48
around it just kind of became like you know you have to break
15:52
you can't be here forever. Listening to this.
15:55
So like think of like one thing. If you if you like this thing in
15:59
this song, Do It kick it and just went up and down and I'm
16:04
like, yeah. All right, there it is feel
16:06
comfortable. So let me ask you guys, this
16:09
before you say, How you're going to do this Justin?
16:13
Normally when you guys go through this, you know I know
16:18
just it'll put it up in our little chat room.
16:22
Okay first pass 31 songs, first pass, 28 songs.
16:28
You started with 27? Hmm, I didn't tell.
16:31
Yes, yes. Oh so you essentially you
16:35
already had the first past that affect how how you guys came up
16:41
with your list. Um, I mean if they had 40 songs
16:48
with disabilities 27 and I what I'm saying okay I got you I got
16:55
you. Yeah I think it's the idea of
17:00
because you don't really have wiggle room for it.
17:04
I kind of had a okay, it's going in list and then a perhaps list
17:09
and I think the perhaps list ended up having three or four
17:11
songs on it and it turned out, I didn't.
17:13
Even know have to go back to it because I got, I had 15.
17:16
So, yeah, I just didn't have to worry about it on this one.
17:21
So for me, apparently, I only trimmed 8 on my first listen,
17:27
because this this go-around, most, most of the time lately,
17:31
what I do is I play that that playlist that I pop into the
17:36
chat and start there, and then just make my own playlist off of
17:41
that. And so I plucked.
17:43
Teen out of that. So I only had to go back and
17:46
make for more Cuts. Do I guess to answer your
17:52
question? I guess I was a little bit more
17:54
picky with with what went through because I like Randy
17:58
said, I know, I only have but so many.
18:01
So I don't want to have to listen all the way through to
18:05
everything again. To take that further as to what
18:12
I was looking for as I was selecting stuff.
18:14
There's like a Swagger I was looking for and, you know, Fredo
18:20
mentioned, like her sarcasm, but her sarcasm has like a Cockiness
18:28
at points to it. Sure.
18:30
And then on top of the way, some of the songs play underneath it,
18:35
it just there is this Swagger. About the band and it's not your
18:40
traditional, you know, Swagger but it is.
18:43
There there's no Swagger's. The only word I can think of
18:47
that that accurately depicts some of the songs that they do
18:51
here. Now, there's a lot of play here,
18:54
there's not a lot of songs but you know, based on the kind of
19:00
the discussion so far. Like it really could go any way,
19:03
Fredo. How many do you think we're
19:04
going to get through unanimously for the final?
19:06

19:38
Day. And with that, the name of the
19:44
game is to programmed, the three of us have combed through the
19:47
waitresses discography, which is not way T.
19:50
It is it. There's, there's not much to it
19:52
and plucked out 15 songs that we're now going to mash together
19:55
in an attempt to create a top-10, sort of kit for you.
19:57
In case you are like us except for Fredo and have not given the
20:02
waitresses the time of day, and I mentioned the Swagger before
20:07
and I don't give a crap that this is the hit, we're not.
20:12
Here, without this song. I also don't care if you guys
20:16
want to be better but I fucking love this song.
20:19
I know what boys like yeah cool gotta take it.
20:22
Yeah. Right like hey because somebody
20:25
like me are you Justin isn't going to know the name of this
20:28
band and all I could do because like hear that and they're like
20:33
okay no they're here that plus like I was listening to it
20:40
before we went on and like just listening to it further and I
20:44
was like but this this like this is This is early, you know,
20:49
going for the number 12 because like this, this is them.
20:53
This is this is what I love about like when they do this.
20:57
Oh God, like this is exactly what I was talking about in the
21:00
first round like that Swagger that that confidence that
21:04
Cockiness like I just I love that and it's not just because
21:08
she's got she's talking about I know what boys like which is
21:11
just an awesome addition to like the presentation.
21:19
What I want to eat if you listen to her voice, and this song was
21:23
written in 78 by the way, and it was by the guitarist, right?
21:28
Like she did a car it? Yeah.
21:30
Yeah. The Name Escapes me.
21:32
But if you listen to the way she sings it and then the, you know,
21:39
the her tone. Yeah.
21:42
Or and you add the words. This is unlike Deborah Harry,
21:47
who is gorgeous? Patty Donahue was good-looking,
21:53
she wasn't gorgeous, you know? And when um, when your ad the
21:58
big hair and and the look of that early 80s, this sounds like
22:04
the attitude of a girl. You shouldn't have the attitude
22:10
that makes sense. Now I get what you're saying.
22:12
Yeah, I can see it. Yeah, yeah.
22:14
It's like it's like slow down honey flowed out but I did.
22:22
I do love like how she's kind of throwing the words way.
22:25
I know a boys like you know. Like yeah, I get it.
22:28
I know. I know a boy is like yeah.
22:30
For are you convinced by that? That's the thing, right.
22:33
Well, you know and that's because I might let you do your
22:36
A different I might let you you know, I'm sorry I teased you.
22:42
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then did he tell you?
22:48
Also I also always tease tease tease and in fact exactly if I
22:58
don't bring this up at this point, I am being very
23:02
disrespectful to myself. This also makes me think of sifl
23:06
and Olly. Did the song and when Ali, and
23:13
it was when Ali hired, a robot to replace him for an episode,
23:17
and the robot started singing this song, it's amazing.
23:21
I never remember that Jesus. Wow, it's amazing.
23:25
So didn't they do a song, was it?
23:28
No, no, I don't think that. Whatever I thought.
23:34
Okay yeah. Okay.
23:36
So I'm saying yeah. Yeah yeah, I remember that since
23:38
that my United States. All right, well got one on the
23:44
board. Fredo I mentioned it already and
23:49
and obviously, I know what boys, like, was one of the three
23:51
songs. Let's go with the with the
23:54
holiday. Hit Christmas wrappings.
23:56
Yeah, there we go. I mean that, you know, it's I
24:05
grew up in an era where, you know, the Christmas songs were
24:11
defined. You know, it was Rocking around
24:17
the Christmas tree and Bing Crosby's White Christmas and
24:21
stuff like that. And we had a couple, you know,
24:25
he had gone Lennon and Paul McCartney, come up with a couple
24:31
of Christmas on that K. Yeah.
24:33
Christmas wrapping is like the first time that that I could
24:37
remember. That it was a Christmas song.
24:43
That would carry, you know, that that became a staple during my
24:49
lifetime. Hmm.
24:51
Imagine you know you heard White Christmas the first time when
24:56
you were 14 it as a brand new song and then you end up in 56
25:04
and it's and it's how it, you know, holiday staple.
25:08
And I had a few songs like that that One Last Christmas by Wham.
25:13
How do they know it's Christmas by Band-Aid?
25:16
These are songs that came out during my lifetime at our
25:20
Christmas Staples now, and and that was again, you know, plus
25:25
it's got that timestamp. Yep.
25:29
Yeah, that's a The Pogues to yeah.
25:32
The what The Pogues? The pokes Capone, fairy tale in
25:35
New York. Yeah, I don't know that they
25:38
have, I don't know that. That's a Christmas staple.
25:42
Well, it's a Resurgence at me for sit for certain.
25:46
What when I talk about Christmas day while talking about all
25:49
genres, I'm talking about any anybody can, anybody can hear
25:52
the Christmas wrappings and knows it?
25:54
I don't know that, you know, it's like the Ramones came out
25:58
with, you know, Merry Christmas baby.
26:01
I don't want to fight or whatever the hell that's called.
26:03
That's I might be a Christmas staple to punk fans.
26:06
But that's there's a lot of people don't know what I think.
26:09
I think The Pogues have it has a little Little bit more weight
26:12
than what you just mentioned with her mom's, but that's okay.
26:16
I just wanted to bring them up because I love that song.
26:18
Also the the pumpkins have one that's kind of taking like it's
26:24
taking shape. Like Fredo's talking about
26:27
Christmas time, I think he wrote it in like 98 or 99 like between
26:31
a door mashina. I don't know that one but I
26:34
think it, you know, you get to a certain point where stop
26:38
listening to the new stuff in 1990.
26:45
You know what? Hey, the equivalent I would say
26:48
for you guys is Mariah Carey's for Christmas.
26:52
Yeah. Since I have no interest in
26:55
hearing that song, well, you don't have Batman interest but
26:57
that's, that's the classic that's your classic.
27:00
That's the one that will get played.
27:03
When you guys are in your 50s and 60s at you come out and you
27:08
know what? Another one is the N Sync.
27:11
Merry Christmas. This one for some reason that's
27:13
an earworm to me. Let's do more.
27:15
Merry Christmas and happy holidays.
27:20
Good morning. Let's do more of this on after
27:22
the fact, because I think, yeah, I think I think this man is only
27:26
15. We had a lot.
27:46
Yes. Okay, that's two.
27:49
Here we go. Here we go with the beginning of
27:51
the to think there's a good chance of one or two out there.
27:56
All right. Back to me.
28:00
Up up, up, up, up, up up. Let me go back to the first
28:05
record. How about wise up?
28:09
Yep. Oh, all right Justin and follow
28:14
a very few, I didn't take for the record.
28:17
All right. Fredo I'm gonna go I'm gonna go
28:24
I'm gonna go off that first record also with if you want to
28:29
hear what Randy was talked about earlier, but that's God's sound.
28:38
Being the opposite of what sky wasn't in the late 70s, early
28:42
80s. It's my car.
28:46
Yeah, yeah. Okay.
28:47
Good. I don't.
28:49
But I was listening to that one before we went on, I was like
28:51
shit. I've almost made him for it but
28:56
I mean tell me that doesn't have that ska sound.
28:58
Oh yeah at that when talking about that's the one where to
29:03
look. She's like shut up right?
29:06
Like I'll I love that. I was like oh man, I feel like
29:11
that was a blown spot-on. I blew the spot kid.
29:14
Sorry, happens happens. All right, Randy.
29:20
After a couple listens, I really started to dig this one off the
29:23
first record the last track. Jimmy tomorrow.
29:28
I didn't have it. I wanted to.
29:31
Well, that's our first Christmas.
29:34
Captain hit the deck. Was that a strike?
29:36
Yeah. Yep, wow. if if we would have
29:43
went 20, that definitely would have made it C and this is this
29:46
is why I wish I wish there was one more record just so he could
29:51
have gotten five more songs if they would have if they put up
29:58
two albums and two LPS. I mean two EPS.
30:01
Yeah. Do but Spotify didn't have the
30:03
other EP? Yeah, I think that would have
30:05
made the difference. All right, back to me.
30:14
I wanted to deny this one because of the title but it it
30:20
already know it's really on point where but with their sound
30:24
and it just it it has that swag that I was talking about
30:29
thinking about sex again. Yes.
30:33
Yep. Yep.
30:35
Uh-huh. Here we go.
30:39
That one kind of had that sack sound that experimental part.
30:42
It was just a little kooky but it works.
30:47
It was them, okay? I like that.
30:51
I like that song because of it showed like to me, you know, a
30:57
woman, you know, thinking about sex.
31:01
So it's today is you know it's a out there thing.
31:05
Obviously we all know women think about sex but in the 80s.
31:08
It was just starting to come around, you know.
31:11
We're wow, let me think about it too and we're talking about the
31:17
we're not talking about big feminist, you know?
31:19
We're talking about like hey that everyday girl, what she
31:23
thinks about sex to holy shit, you know what that?
31:28
I think I unknowingly Kept it around because of that.
31:33
Like yeah, I did. That definitely wasn't a friend
31:35
of mine thought that this is not necessarily a groundbreaking but
31:40
like this didn't happen a lot then but it's also like it's a
31:45
it's a great sound and she opens the track.
31:48
Uh-oh. Like that's always like it's a
31:51
silly thing that's always gonna get.
31:52
Get me. Oh there it.
31:54
Go thinking about sex again. Like that's just fun which is
31:59
very much what the waitresses are.
32:01
So All right, there we are. Right at your three Fredo and
32:07
you're up. And I'm up, I'm gonna go with
32:11
the one and this is going to put it into the four, I think.
32:17
But the waitresses had a theme song.
32:22
But show which featured a young Sarah, Jessica, Parker. and,
32:30
This is all for that EP. Was it?
32:35
I could have ruled the world, but I didn't have enough Parts.
32:37
I couldn't find all the parts and it's Square.
32:40
Pegs, I got it me too. Thank you.
32:45
Those are those were the three that that are from my childhood.
32:51
Again, this is like something where because you know it
32:54
clearly says it's a theme song and I kind of wanted to ignore
32:58
it but then you listen to it and it's like but like what just
33:02
like the the Christmas song like traditionally I'm not going to
33:07
include both these but like if you do it in a way that is so
33:13
clearly your band. Yeah, I didn't this this could
33:18
very easily just be a waitress's song.
33:22
Exactly, and and that's exactly the way I took it.
33:28
I don't know if you guys have ever seen the show Square, pegs
33:31
have not. If you get a chance, look up,
33:34
look up, an episode. Listen to that song and exactly
33:37
what you would think about the 80s.
33:39
And think about that song. That's its core pegs.
33:45
It's a great representation of the of, of the time.
33:48
This is coming from somebody who was in high school at that time,
33:52
here's something funny. I actually didn't look at the
33:54
title of the song before listening to it.
33:57
So I heard it and I loved it. And then I went back to see what
34:01
it was called. Saw the theme song like yeah.
34:04
Okay, that makes sense. Mmm, so, No predetermined
34:09
judgement there. I think that kind of makes the
34:13
point that we were making them all right.
34:16
Randy Europe. Let's go album on track 1.
34:20
No guilt. Yep.
34:24
No. Oh my God.
34:26
And that's an alternate track. I know.
34:28
I know and opening track on album.
34:31
Was that was? That was good.
34:33
Oh yeah, he's too much stuff and you didn't.
34:36
Yeah, yep. Whoa yep.
34:40
Now and again this One of those ones where, like, as I'm re
34:43
listening as I cash it, do I need to make room for this one
34:47
shit? So it might have.
34:50
Yeah. What are you gonna do?
34:53
What are you gonna do? And I'll just stay right on that
34:58
record. The one that I kept instead.
34:59
Quit. Yes.
35:02
Was that both of you lot? There we go.
35:06
Our one more away. Until that you pick it.
35:10
Yeah, right. I think I only kind of like
35:19
accidentally evened out the records like, not on purpose.
35:31
But I love the timing of. What am I going to do?
35:34
Quit. No, no, I think that's how you
35:44
know, it's so funny. I feel like artists back in the
35:50
80s and 70s and even way earlier 5060 is all wrote about like
35:56
their experiences from like high school and now artists.
36:00
Like they're kind of I don't want to say the middle age but
36:04
like when they're new, Writing about high school anymore,
36:07
they're kind of writing about what's going on in their current
36:10
life when they're like, 27 32 or something like that and it's
36:14
just kind of funny going back to how some of these artists just
36:19
are still kind of Trapped in high school out after they, you
36:24
know, as they're coming out and being mainstream, you know?
36:28
Well, I mean, what else would they gonna?
36:31
I mean when you figure out You know, the 22 that still young.
36:39
23 around that age. Just still fresh off of High
36:43
School experiences. And there and and their
36:47
relatable, you know, I think the idea of what I was trying to say
36:52
is that bands got popular at a younger age, back then more than
36:59
they do. Now, it feels like you really
37:01
have to dig your teeth more now than you did, you think so?
37:06
I think so yeah. Especially because I'll for a
37:10
lot of it. It's nobody listens to albums
37:13
anymore. It's not nobody's going out and
37:15
buying And CDs. So I but but I think, I think
37:21
this is where Us as as music, listeners have gotten away from
37:31
what's popular today, because Taylor Swift.
37:34
And she started, you know, that is her kind of music, even
37:39
though it was country, was very still young and high school.
37:43
It shouldn't. And obviously all the boy band
37:47
stuff, you know, could have played 22, those are audiences,
37:54
I think, if I think Angst to rap / runs.
38:01
You know that kind of changed writing about the high school
38:06
experience, you writing about the young angst experience, I
38:12
don't think I don't think and definitely for us.
38:17
I don't think that the music that's being geared to is stuff.
38:21
We would listen to like, you know, I I don't know.
38:26
I just don't think that I can't think of me wanting to listen to
38:31
a band, that would write high school stuff.
38:36
Yeah, hello. I don't disagree.
38:39
Okay, after a certain point in your life, you're past that.
38:42
Yeah, that's exactly. That's exactly why, you know,
38:45
nobody, our age, you know, understands the, the music of
38:50
the youths because we can't relate to what high school is
38:53
right now, right? Or that age, right?
38:56
Yeah, there's so far behind us and we wanted to put it so far
38:59
behind us, right? All right, so quit is in.
39:04
That was me Fred. Oh you're up.
39:11
Don't have enough to do a complete.
39:15
So if we get the next five, I got five.
39:20
I'm gonna go with the Let's go off of what.
39:30
Is it? Rule, there's ology brutality.
39:35
I got it. Um, no, no, not that song.
39:42
Let's go with luxury that I do. Okay.
39:53
All right, well, I played my cards, so I guess I got to do
39:56
it. Brews ology?
39:59
Yes, no goddamn. So you and I will go Tit for Tat
40:04
on that one. All right.
40:06
Yep. It's a wash.
40:09
Okay, I'll stay on Bruce ology. How about make the weather?
40:17
Oh wow. There's just what our second
40:24
one. Yeah.
40:26
Jimmy Ptarmigan weather. all right, Fredo I stay on that
40:52
album. They're all out of liquor.
40:55
So let's go to another party. Yes, I got.
40:57
Fish is pretty decent, but the titles awesome
41:19
experimental thing that That Randy was talking about like it.
41:24
It's like that wild fucking sacks.
41:28
Here. Like what are you doing?
41:33
Right? And then it just jumps right in
41:45
Come on, that's good. All right.
41:52
Randy only have four left. So this is probably if this
41:57
doesn't get through then it's our last chance and I'd getting
42:00
a perfect 10. I like this song.
42:05
How about heat night? No, nope.
42:09
Oh my God. Nope, that's another one.
42:16
I was listening to just before I said, God damn it.
42:23
There Goes My ten. How many do you have left?
42:26
Justin, I think. One, two, three four.
42:31
Yep. Five I got five.
42:34
Also get and Randy's got three now.
42:38
Yep. Want to go one more round and
42:40
then uh one more and then we'll dump out about.
42:43
All right, so last one, I'm sorry I have four because I
42:48
forgot the check off party. All right, um This is the last
42:57
one on my list, but I think this was just because it's the order,
43:00
the smartest person, I know. Now, another one into the
43:08
dumpster goals. I should have played closer to
43:14
my chest. Does take a second to get going
43:26
to be fair. I think it was on my perhaps
43:29
list. Waited, I'm sorry.
43:32
Did you guys the song? The smartest person?
43:36
I know, come up, that was what he just said.
43:39
Oh, I have it goddamn, it has gotten horrible.
43:49
As I've gotten older, I was just playing it.
43:54
Okay, so it's got. That's what made me go.
43:55
Wait a minute, then I put that song.
43:58
All right, so it's a two instead of one.
44:00
Okay, Fredo. I'm going to pick a song that I
44:06
can almost guarantee. Justin doesn't have just because
44:11
of the title of the first album, pussy strut.
44:16
I'll have it either. I do you do have it, you Justin
44:20
really? And as such a funk vibe to it,
44:25
it's a great song. But yeah, I'm not.
44:27
I'm not putting that on my list. Why not?
44:31
Cuz so you just don't want to turn some people off.
44:33
You never know. We'll see.
44:37
Yeah, I mean like, is that first to hit the floor?
44:40
Maybe not. But like, is that.
44:41
Is it first in either? Probably not.
44:44
So we'll see. All right, Randy.
44:53
I barely remember these three actually.
44:56
This is this is the one I remember the most out of the
44:58
three and it's hard to forget a title like this, everything is
45:02
wrong. If my hair is wrong.
45:04
No, I think that's another one. That if it was, if we had 20
45:08
would have made my list, I don't have it either.
45:14
All right, you ready to dump out?
45:17
Yeah. All right.
45:18
So I'm down to two now, I think yet to Sam and I got three.
45:24
Alright, so first one wasn't tomorrow.
45:26
Wonderful. Yes.
45:29
No And then my other one open City.
45:42
Now. I'm going to assume that silence
45:50
is a no from Fredo to. Yeah I said no they said no okay
45:53
somehow that didn't get through. All right, Fredo.
46:01
Go on, nope. Oh guess I just pleasure.
46:14
Yeah that was a instrumental one, wasn't it?
46:16
Yeah yeah I really liked it because it showed their chops.
46:21
without the distraction of of All right, so that that was your
46:44
last one right? Randy, yes it done, boom.
46:48
Okay. So I believe that was six
46:52
through, right? Yep.
46:54
Yeah yeah. So I got it so recall Randy.
46:57
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
47:00
I've been on a good roll with this lately, I feel like I got
47:03
the 9 in the cars, even though I didn't hit the White Stripes, I
47:07
was the only one to go low. Yeah, well, we got to you guys
47:11
all were like, 76. I went three.
47:14
Yeah but I've been on a nice little roll with this.
47:17
All right, so we got six, we got quit.
47:20
I know what boys like thinking about sex again, they're out of
47:23
liquor. Let's find another party.
47:25
Christmas, wrapping and square. Pegs.
47:28
Let's take a look at these twos. How many we got here?
47:30
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
47:35
All right. Well, knew that was gonna
47:37
happen. Yeah, so we need to we need to
47:40
trim it down to three and then We've got Randy's you know Randy
47:44
gets the well one would why don't we let Randy pick first.
47:48
Because his well, I guess, final say, final say not the seventh
47:52
seventh song. Say, all right.
47:54
All right. Um, I'll say this, I'll put this
47:58
out here. I feel after listening to it.
48:01
I was really wrong about, it's my car.
48:03
So, unless anybody really wants to hold that up, I'm willing to
48:07
put that everything going. Sure, I'm about it, I like it.
48:11
All right, so that brings us up to seven.
48:16
All right. Is there anything else kind of
48:18
screaming out at you? Fredo From what I have.
48:29
No guilt. No go yeah that again that you
48:34
know, that first song first album, you know exactly what
48:41
what the waitresses are. That brings us up to no
48:46
complaints. Over here ahead.
48:49
All right, so now we need number 9.
48:58
All right, this is where I'm feeling like wasn't tomorrow.
49:00
Wonderful is looking kind of weak pussy.
49:02
Struts looking kind of week. We can get rid of them.
49:07
Okay, well ii-i'm fine. With getting rid of a Pussy
49:12
strut. You know what?
49:14
I don't have a real big fight for anything, besides one song.
49:17
So I'm going to pick mine now. Okay, I'll throw girls.
49:21
Got to do it in. All right, so, that will be
49:26
final say, and then, What's still alive here?
49:38
Wise up. Luxury bruise ology and smartest
49:47
person. I know are any of the others
49:52
looking kind of weak to you Fredo.
49:56
Compared with that luxury luxury.
49:59
Yeah, probably that's, let's dump that one else have red red
50:04
layer, right? Yeah.
50:07
Red Land still alive. Wise up Rhythm and Brews Ali.
50:11
I say we can get rid of red land because if you didn't even
50:13
remember, it was still alive. It was at the bottom.
50:18
Yeah, I'll say this about smartest person.
50:24
I know. Not that.
50:26
I'm necessarily making the pitch for it to get in, but I do here.
50:30
I'm going to play that intro again.
50:32
I freaking love that intro. Some of their stuff.
50:47
Sounds a little rockabilly to but then there's this what
50:53
that's like Tron shit. Let me hear the lyrics, okay?
51:02
And then it's got that swag. Oh, is this the one that I
51:12
thought was their disco song? They had a song that was like a
51:16
disco song. A Time passed by and pretty
51:18
quick. There's on the second record.
51:23
Let me see. No, this is this was on the EP
51:28
that you okay, I could I could rule the world.
51:35
All right. And then is there anything
51:38
jumping out at you Fredo? Why let me hear wise up, all
51:42
right? That reminds me of the 80s right
51:59
there. And fast forward to the lyrics.
52:22
So, I guess the question is Yeah, really, I was going to say
52:31
like do we want? Do you all say about what I said
52:36
say, about wise up? Is that that intro?
52:38
Sounds like it could have been like a late night talk show
52:42
theme song. Yeah.
52:46
I don't know if it gets it, gives it any weight or not, but
52:48
I figured I'd just mention it. It's one wise up.
52:54
There's only this one left sounds like this one's out
52:58
bruise ology. Yeah.
53:02
I love that sucks, huh? Yeah,
53:19
I think it's one of those other two.
53:20
I think it's wise up or smartest person and so I guess really is
53:23
it. Do we want them to go wool or do
53:25
we want something that fits nice.
53:28
You know what? You know what.
53:30
Take the what? Okay because that's what
53:32
smartest person I know. Does it makes me go.
53:35
What? Whereas wise up fits nicely in
53:37
the pocket, you know it really feels 80s.
53:40
It feels like what they're doing, so Any list needed to be
53:44
weird. This could be weird and I would
53:47
be okay. So do that smartest person.
53:50
I know? Yes, fine.
53:52
All right, there we go. Let's do that.
53:55
I always feel like like we're cheating the audience when we
53:59
just kind of. Yeah.
54:03
You know, well it's the hardcore waitresses fans right in then.
54:10
Well apologize. That's true.
54:12
That's very true. All right, so that brings us to
54:18
our 10 which is quit. I know what boys like thinking
54:22
about sex again, they're all out of liquor.
54:24
Let's find another party. Christmas wrapping Square pegs.
54:27
It's my car. No guilt A girl's.
54:29
Got to do and the smartest person.
54:31
I know Fredo of those 10 which one is the one we're going to
54:36
really have this discussion. I mean I got to ask ask just in
54:41
case that the kind of his man. Yeah, I mean Do you have
54:45
anything? Yeah, do you have anything else
54:48
to put up there? Randy.
54:52
Well, I don't know. You guys probably don't really
54:56
want a Christmas song being I would ease.
55:00
I would most, I would most definitely want that song.
55:04
However, I'm one of the things that that I know is that the
55:09
year end, or the year in review, is going to be coming up soon,
55:15
and that Christmas song will not Yeah, it'll be kind of dated,
55:21
right? It won't be.
55:22
It won't represent the waitresses well, in a year
55:27
wrapping, which is why I didn't go with that.
55:30
Because, I mean, that is my favorite waitress song.
55:35
This is tough. Is it tough?
55:38
Because there's a lot of what? What's here is defining all
55:42
different sides of the waitresses.
55:44
I like to side closer with the more sky influence stuff.
55:52
Something like it's my car or no guilt.
55:54
I think I'd throw out there. Yeah like in a way it makes a
56:00
lot of sense to put I know what boys like because yeah you're
56:03
introducing the waitresses but it's also not telling.
56:07
People that this like all it is is saying this is what they did
56:12
that you'll know you know what I mean.
56:15
Yeah but it also you know it gives you lead singers attitude,
56:22
you get a nice you get a nice bit of that sacks with the sax
56:28
solo. Um you know it as far as the
56:34
Simplicity of their lyrics. A lot of the lyrics that, you
56:40
know, they're not deep thought lyrics, you know, we're not not
56:44
dealing with Rush or yes here. You know, so I think the song
56:50
and of course, everything from from The Waitresses screams the
56:55
80s. So to me at song is a great
57:00
representation of the band as a whole and I'll tag onto that
57:06
with Kind of what we were talking about before.
57:09
I think what I know what boys like does.
57:12
Is it answers that question of who the fuck does I know what?
57:15
Boys like who the fuck did that song?
57:17
Oh it's the waitresses cool to that song.
57:26
A band, an actual band who did it.
57:29
Yeah. You know through though you know
57:32
and it's I don't think I don't think you're necessarily wrong
57:35
here. I just I think I think I know
57:38
what boys, like just checks more boxes.
57:43
I am not going to jump off a bridge for for this one.
57:50
I'm just not. Are you this the hill you want
57:52
to die? All right.
57:54
Most certainly not. So it's two against one and
57:58
really my one is a very soft one.
58:00
Yeah, alright so I know what boys like is our number one.
58:04
Quit. Think you are you Justin?
58:06
I do hey by the way before you get into the Spiel, I counted 23
58:11
of Twenty seven songs were used. There we go, look at that.
58:15
It is we covered the ground. I know what boys, like they like
58:19
to quit and they like thinking about sex again.
58:22
There are, they're all out of liquor.
58:24
Let's find another party. Like this is one big sentence.
58:27
We're going to put the liquor in a Christmas wrapping next to
58:31
Hoover bags. They're going to drive it in my
58:34
car with no guilt, because a girl's got to do what a girl's
58:39
got to do. And she is The smartest person,
58:42
I know, feed the square. Pegs grappig, script, big
58:48
Square. Pegs are glare.
58:55
So, let's let I know what boys like get its moment in the sun
58:58
because it deserves it. I know, it's like, it's funny.
59:05
I keep forgetting like for a long time.
59:08
I kept forgetting. That, that was the intro.
59:11
You know what I mean? Like, that's that's right.
59:17
And you know what? And an inch of is very Punk.
59:21
