Speaker 1: 0:49

Happy 4th of July everyone. We are a little late to the party.

Speaker 2: 0:54

Yeah, yeah, Fashionably late Technically technically.

Speaker 1: 0:58

Technically, we are recording this before 4th of July.

Speaker 2: 1:02

We are.

Speaker 1: 1:03

I was just imagining your heads that it's 4th of July.

Speaker 2: 1:06

It's July 1st, which I need to also point out, even though it's the spirit of 4th of July. Happy Canada Day to you. Bud from the last week's episode there.

Speaker 1: 1:15

Yeah, happy Canada Day.

Speaker 2: 1:16

Yeah, that's fun Also we have. so we're doing a draft today. We're gonna do a four-part harmony draft of songs, American-themed songs, great Americans Now listen, when it comes to great Americans, there's a big debate otherwise. so you could put, or you could not put, on the list. There's influential Americans that maybe should be on the list. This is the list that Kyle and I came up with. So if you want to input what you think that we missed, go ahead. Yeah, we know that you won't, but go ahead if you want to. Then we are also going to do traditional 4th of July foods and beverages. So that'll be a hoot and a half. Also, for those of you who are looking for your sports content, i'll give you a couple of quick little bits. Yankee's pitcher Domingo German pitched the 20, oh Christ, i don't remember how much one. it was 25th or 26th like perfect game in an animal-b-history. I don't really give a shit, because apparently this guy has a bit of a history with domestic violence. So good on you for being a player and pitching a perfect game against the fucking lowly A's. yippie-fucking-skippy, i don't care. We're going to talk more in depth about money in the bank that happened and about NHL free agency. We're going to give it a week, especially NHL free agency, to play itself out. I'm also going to try to write down all the bigger names that are going to be more recognizable. I'm not going to give you somebody who's going to be like an AHL prospect or somebody that you've never heard of before. Yeah, you'll kind of know All I'm going to say now.

Speaker 1: 2:57

Looch.

Speaker 2: 3:01

He's back. Folks Looch each is back home in Beantown playing for the Bruins. 100th year anniversary for the Beas this year. It's going to be fucking wicked awesome.

Speaker 1: 3:11

Yeah, i mean, i'm definitely excited, wicked pisser. I couldn't have said it better myself, eddie.

Speaker 2: 3:20

So, yeah, so let's get into this draft here. Okay, if you think I'm talking from Canada, i'm not. I'm talking like I'm from Wisconsin. No, i was going to go with Minnesota. Minnesota But you know you could do the Finger Lakes. you know it's real, real cold up there. They landed 10,000 lakes there. Minnesota, oh geez Okay.

Speaker 1: 3:40

All right.

Speaker 2: 3:40

So do you have an order that you want to do this? Do you want to do songs first, Americans, or do you want to do the food and bed first?

Speaker 1: 3:48

Let's do food and bed first. We'll work our way up to the songs.

Speaker 2: 3:51

Okay.

Speaker 1: 3:51

Okay, all right.

Speaker 2: 3:53

So there you go, sir, there you go, okay.

Speaker 1: 3:58

Okay, here we go. So this for the we'll do food first, he will do food first Yeah, it's food.

Speaker 2: 4:02

Okay, um Rochambeau to see who gets the. Is there six? So we're going to do six picks for food. We're going to do five rounds for drinks, we're going to do six rounds of songs And then the last one we're going to do 10.

Speaker 1: 4:18

So my boy, I know that considered great Americans. I know that you did most of the writing, but I honestly might need you to have to do the writing. So I'll tell the listeners out there for anybody that doesn't know. I had gotten to a little accident. I was at work and I was changing the floor scrapers on a blade. It was a blade on a floor scraper and it's on a long pole And I had it propped to the side and I was walking back towards my cart and I got a little dizzy and fell into the cart with the exposed blade And now I have a giant gash in my arm and 10 stitches later. So I'm having a hard time writing because it's hurting my hand and my muscles inside. So I figured my boy wouldn't mind doing the writing.

Speaker 2: 5:05

No, I'm sure the guy with carpal tunnel has no problem taking care of the right tunnel to all right, you have. You have everything, yeah, except for AIDS and maybe MRSA, and that's it.

Speaker 1: 5:15

Listen, i don't have a lot. I did tell them, by the way, when I started bleeding out everywhere and there's blood everywhere, i looked at my lead and I went you know, the one thankful thing I can say is that you don't have to worry about anything because I have no blood-borne pathogens, so you won't get AIDS or hepatitis or nothing. I said you'll be fine. They had to clean up all my blood too. It was. It was rough, it looked like I told my lead. I was like it looks like a scene from Carrie, you know, when she got the blood on her. So, but I'm good, i'm stitched up and I'm better now. So yeah, oh, thank you.

Speaker 2: 6:00

I need space and I don't want the candle to fall over.

Speaker 1: 6:04

Okay, That's fair enough.

Speaker 2: 6:05

All right. Well, you know what? Because you're making me right, I'm going first.

Speaker 1: 6:09

You know what I'll give it to you.

Speaker 2: 6:12

I'll give it to you, appreciate that We switch off. Usually, anyways, we do, and with the first pick in the food category, i am going to take my favorite food, which is the hamburger. Well, shit.

Speaker 1: 6:30

Yeah, that hamburger is definitely one of, i think, the best picnic foods for the Fortured Lai Bar.

Speaker 2: 6:37

Preferably cheeseburger, but we're just going to do hamburger for now.

Speaker 1: 6:40

Yeah, because some people don't like cheese on the burgers.

Speaker 2: 6:43

Right And for those of you who don't, more power to you.

Speaker 1: 6:46

Yeah, everybody has a unique taste. So all right. Well, i know what I'm going to go with. My second pick then, because, technically, your first pick.

Speaker 2: 6:53

Second pick overall, but your first pick.

Speaker 1: 6:54

Okay, sorry, my first for the second pick in the whole draft. the first pick hot dogs. I mean hamburgers and hot dogs side by side. I mean I definitely would choose a hamburger or hot dog, but you're pushing Sundance right. Which is Sundance.

Speaker 2: 7:09

Me and old Pukie over here, but a lot of bats on.

Speaker 1: 7:13

Paxon mattresses. He's doing a patent bit. For anybody that doesn't know Pushing Sundance Please madam let me vomit for you? Oh this then. the mics are perfect for that to pick up the ASMR.

Speaker 2: 7:27

Oh geez.

Speaker 1: 7:28

Please let me vomit for you.

Speaker 2: 7:33

Oh my God, If you don't get it, got it. And if you don't got it, figure it out. Figure it out, all right. So what are we going to go with with pick number two? You know what? I'm going to hit you right in the right, in the hard spots. Okay, i'm going to go ribs. Oh, okay, all right, oh, i'm sorry, the guy who didn't want to put barbecue on here is going to take the fucking barbecue thing. you, son of a bitch.

Speaker 1: 7:59

Yeah, yeah, i was the one that had to say ribs and you were like Oh, i don't know, would you have that?

Speaker 2: 8:04

Yes, Yes, you would have that. Hey, you know what? You could have taken ribs over hot dogs, because, truth be told, i wasn't going to take hot dogs.

Speaker 1: 8:10

Yeah, yeah, though I am going to go with something that is not on our list. What I told it to you earlier Barbecue chicken, oh Christ. Barbecue chicken, or baked chicken, is one of my favorite. Baked barbecue chicken, oh Christ.

Speaker 2: 8:28

All right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right. Outcast, i got you All right. I'm going to go Corn on the cob.

Speaker 2: 8:53

You took my potato salad, you, son of a bitch. I'm gonna go with beans.

Speaker 1: 8:59

Okay, all right. Beans, all right. So My next pick. You know what? I'm gonna jump on that dessert train early. Give me that apple pie, son of a bitch. I had to do it. I knew you were gonna try to go for it. I'm like, oh, apple pie was definitely gonna be my next pick. Oh, i had. Yeah, i have feeling my next pick.

Speaker 2: 9:21

That being said, i am gonna go with a classical. This is actually going, by the way. Yeah, i'm gonna go with S'mores. Yeah, yeah, I had a feeling you were gonna go with that. You're gonna take my apple pie. I'm gonna take your small hours.

Speaker 1: 9:34

Okay, all right, give me, give me some chips, chips and dip, chips and dip, okay.

Speaker 2: 9:45

Let's uh, let's go watermelon.

Speaker 1: 9:51

Okay, all right, i respect it Um, because nothing brings out the bugs Quite like watermelon, that is true.

Speaker 2: 9:56

Uh, you know what I actually?

Speaker 1: 9:57

did not take this classic and I was thinking about it earlier Coleslaw. Give me that coleslaw All right, so we are done.

Speaker 2: 10:09

Okay, Um, surprisingly left on the list was ice cream, strawberry shortcake, bomb pops or rocket pops, however you want to prefer it, and just a regular old salad, just leafy greens and tomatoes and whatnot. Yeah, um, obviously there's other stuff on the list we could have put, but it's whatever. Yeah, i mean my next pick. If I had had the choice, it would have been ice cream to go with that apple pie?

Speaker 1: 10:31

Oh, my pick would have been a bomb pop, oh, okay.

Speaker 2: 10:32

Hey, you know what, If you want to give ourselves an extra pick, you want to take the bomb pop.

Speaker 1: 10:37

I'll take the ice cream. I'm cool with that. I will take a bomb pop, all right all right, fair enough, we should Gentleman's shake on it. I'll just Are you just gonna write? Okay, i'll just You don't want to touch my sweaty, no, no.

Speaker 2: 10:48

I just want to give you a little bit of a touch. I don't want you to hurt yourself, so I'm just gonna give you an acknowledgement. I'll just give you a tip of the cap. Okay, all right.

Speaker 1: 10:57

Fair enough, i respect it.

Speaker 2: 10:58

Okay, all right. So for the food draft, if you have a good idetic memory or if you want to write these down or let us know who did good, my picks Kev's picks hamburgers, ribs, corn or corn on the cob, specifically baked beans, s'mores, watermelon and a bomb pop. Kyle's picks hot dogs, barbecue, chicken, potato salad, apple pie, chips and dip, coleslaw and ice cream. That potato salad one really fucking hurts man.

Speaker 1: 11:32

I know It really hurts.

Speaker 2: 11:34

I was like yeah, i got hamburgers and ribs, you got corn beans and I was waiting.

Speaker 1: 11:39

Honestly, the corn one hurt me because I was like, oh shit, i was gonna take corn and then you took it. I'm like, ah, son of a bitch, it's okay, it's all right. You know I respect it. It's the whole point of a draft. I will say that there is something we also forgot on the list that I'm thinking about. It now rolls Yeah, you know we can get some butter and Yeah, what is going on over there, oh? jeez, it's the alarm system. Probably my mom's home.

Speaker 2: 12:09

For those of you who do not know, Kyle's house is Fort Knox.

Speaker 1: 12:14

Yeah, it really is.

Speaker 2: 12:16

Oh yeah it is my mom.

Speaker 1: 12:17

Okay, i'm just gonna throw my phone over there because it's gonna keep buzzing, because they're gonna be doing shit.

Speaker 2: 12:22

It is Fort Knox to the max, yeah, and if you hear that obnoxious barking, that is the five. One, two, three, four, five, five dogs dogs that. Kyle's has.

Speaker 1: 12:32

So when they say beware of dog, really beware of dog.

Speaker 2: 12:35

I mean, they're all nice and friendly, but I feel like if you try to come into this house and they don't know who you are, you're gonna be in for a bad time.

Speaker 1: 12:42

Yeah, exactly. There's no way you're sneaking around this house with five dogs. There's just unless they're up in the room and sleeping.

Speaker 2: 12:48

Even so though they're gonna hear a noise, They're gonna start going ape shit, And when that herd comes running down shanananana. Well, the good news for you, sir, is because I went first on the food draft. You get to go first in the beverage draft And if I know you, I know what you're gonna pick first.

Speaker 1: 13:09

Beer Yeah, I knew that was coming. I mean, that's classic.

Speaker 2: 13:15

Not for me It's not. However, that being said, it's not my draft at the draft for the people, so I would have drafted beer if I needed to.

Speaker 1: 13:21

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 13:22

And as, and that being said, i'm gonna have to take a cocktail. I wouldn't drink it, but I need to take an alcoholic, hard alcohol beverage.

Speaker 1: 13:34

You know what, i respect it.

Speaker 2: 13:38

I need to do that. I can't just draft like the way that I would draft. I need to draft smart.

Speaker 1: 13:41

You know what. I don't blame you because you know draft. You got to draft for, like you said, the people, not just for yourself, right? So, with that in mind, i think my next pick is going to be iced tea.

Speaker 2: 13:57

Okay. I know there's other options but That's okay, it's okay, it's all right.

Speaker 1: 14:02

Iced tea is a very classic summer drink.

Speaker 2: 14:04

And I'm gonna match you again because I'm gonna take lemonade, Lemonade yup, that was gonna be.

Speaker 1: 14:09

It was between those two, and if you didn't take lemonade, i was gonna take in the next one.

Speaker 2: 14:13

Actually I'm gonna do you one better. I'll take an ol' Palmer. It's a little bit of both, oh yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1: 14:18

You get a little bit of both in that. Uh, i am going to go with a soda and I'm gonna go with Pepsi. You, son of a bitch, and listen, you could have taken it, you, son of a bitch.

Speaker 2: 14:27

You could have taken it and you could have left me lemonade. You're the Coke guy. You don't even. Ah, you son of a bitch.

Speaker 1: 14:35

Oh well, you know, like I said, I had to do it.

Speaker 2: 14:39

Fine, you know what? I'm gonna go off the board here. I'm gonna go off the board. I'm gonna appeal to the alcoholics out there Give me them fucking Jell-O shots.

Speaker 1: 14:47

The Jell-O shots. Okay, You got two For the person who doesn't drink. you got two alcohols on there.

Speaker 2: 14:53

Yeah, well, you know what I'm trying to play up to the crowd, okay.

Speaker 1: 14:57

You know what? I respect it. You gotta get the crowd in there, uh, okay, so I think my next pick has to be the best thing you can have during the summer months an ice cold water. Okay, like, i know it's plain, but when you're thirsty you're out there and it's like 100 degrees and you have an ice cold water in your hand and nothing beats it.

Speaker 2: 15:25

Now you'd think I would take Coke, because people like Coke.

Speaker 1: 15:28

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 15:30

And.

Speaker 1: 15:30

I am, yeah, i don't blame you, i'm gonna take Coke. You gotta get a soda in there.

Speaker 2: 15:36

I don't want to take Coke, but I'm gonna take Coke.

Speaker 1: 15:39

Okay, So now, mostly the things that are left on here are So what?

Speaker 2: 15:44

we have currently left is wine, dr Pepper, sprite, gatorade and slushies.

Speaker 1: 15:51

Now I will say me personally, i would love a Gatorade, but I also would love a slushie. So I think that slushie adds a little dynamic to it, because it's not just a regular drink, it's an icy drink. So I'm gonna go slushie. I'm trying to get an eclectic mix of everything. So I got my alcohol, i got like a light drink, i got a soda, i got that plain drink and then I got the slushie. So I think I'm trying to round out.

Speaker 2: 16:20

So I want to take Dr Pepper because I know people love Dr Pepper And, honestly, if you're doing my food bracket with my food I mean with my drink Dr Pepper and ribs and beans is just a, a magical combination. Winning combination, yeah, but I know there's a couple Well, there's one specific person I won't name names that doesn't particularly like Dr Pepper, so they wouldn't vote me as the winner for this particular contest.

Speaker 1: 16:44

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 16:45

Even though I have two alcoholic beverages that are clearly on here.

Speaker 1: 16:48

That is true. So they You should take the third one and go with wine.

Speaker 2: 16:52

No, no, no, no, no. I don't want to be a complete like Lush head. No, i don't want to do that. I'm good. Yeah, my only two healthy things, aside from the alcohol not even healthy would be eliminating coke like now. Yeah, sprite Gatorade's Mines between Gatorade and Dr Pepper.

Speaker 1: 17:12

I mean, both are good choices. I think they would work either way.

Speaker 2: 17:16

I'm gonna say that Gatorade kind of matches in some aspects water because of the electrolytes and stuff.

Speaker 1: 17:22

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 17:22

So I'm gonna go Gatorade.

Speaker 1: 17:24

Yeah, i mean, it's a refreshing drink, so I don't blame you for taking that at all. I mean listen.

Speaker 2: 17:28

I know there's plenty of times where you're outside cutting that grass and you get a nice cold Gatorade and oh, it's delicious. That is true, so I respect it. In the beverage category, kyle went with beer, which is all beer Ice tea, because if it wasn't all beer it would just be a whole shit show Ice tea, pepsi, water and slushies. My problem was is I was when you win ice tea, i was like, alright, i'm gonna take Pepsi. I want to make sure I get Pepsi. But then I was like if I don't get lemonade and he has ice tea and lemonade, i'm gonna be fucked.

Speaker 1: 18:01

And that would have been a rough combination.

Speaker 2: 18:03

I will say Right, i mean I could have went Pepsi and Coke and just kind of cornered the fucking soda market. but you gotta have the lemonade or the ice tea, man, it's just you gotta.

Speaker 1: 18:12

Yeah, one of those two has to be on the menu, So I respect the fact that you had to take lemonade in that instance. I did.

Speaker 2: 18:19

So you had beer, ice tea, pepsi water, slushies, and I countered with a cocktail, which I mean it could be whatever kind of alcoholic, hard alcohol beverage you want to think of, It's just general Yeah, a hard alcohol. Basically, like I said, basically he has all the beer, I have all the hard alcohol, So which side do you want to be on Lemonade Jell-O shots, Which I Another hard alcohol. And that's kind of debatable as far as beverages go, because it's more of a solid, that just kind of It's a solid liquid.

Speaker 1: 18:46

Right, Technically you drink it, though, because in my mind you gotta chew in order to eat. That's my philosophy.

Speaker 2: 18:53

Right, and you yeah. I mean, if worse came to worse, i would just take off Jell-O and then it would just be shot, shot, shot, shot, shot shot.

Speaker 1: 19:00

I have.

Speaker 2: 19:00

Coke and I have Gatorade.

Speaker 1: 19:02

Okay, alright. So I mean I feel like we're pretty even on that to the most part. I mean Now this is where things get interesting.

Speaker 2: 19:10

Yeah, now these are our big lists. So are we doing songs first, or do you want to do Great Americans?

Speaker 1: 19:17

Let's go with the Great, let's work our way up and do Great Americans, and then we'll do the songs.

Speaker 2: 19:22

I think we should do the Great Americans last, because that's the tenor, that's the big finale. Yeah, i mean because then that, because the way the paper is working out, i can do five, i can do six and six, and then I'll have the whole backside to do ten.

Speaker 1: 19:37

Okay, i mean it's up to you, that's fine.

Speaker 2: 19:39

Well, how about we?

Speaker 1: 19:39

do this. Honestly, what I might do is that. The reason why I was thinking I want to do this last is I might take a Clip of it, like the, you know, like the, okay, whatever songs so, so certain songs.

Speaker 2: 19:51

So here's what we'll do. We'll do. This is all on the fly. Folks do one, two, three, four, five and six, my good man, and then we're gonna flip the paper over. Oh there you go. And we're going to put in a glate Amatic ins. This is also a debatable topic. So that's me. This is you down the hatch. I think I did way too many, but that's okay. Oh Yeah, I definitely did way too many. Better to have too many than not enough that is true. Okay, so I Get first pick you get first pick on the great Americans.

Speaker 1: 20:38

Oh, my goodness and there's a lot of names on this list. There are said so many names on this list, i don't even please don't crucify us, for You know some of the names because, like yet again, this is a list that we found on the internet. We we just kind of weeded through it.

Speaker 2: 20:54

We have, yeah, we objective I'm. There are gonna be hundreds of names that we miss and you're gonna be like why wasn't so-and-so on the list And why wasn't this person list? We just kind of went off like, and some of the names that were on the list We probably should have known that we don't and that's our fault for not knowing our American history.

Speaker 1: 21:12

And I.

Speaker 2: 21:12

I'm upset with myself because I do like history. Yeah, yeah oh boy, oh boy. First pick in the great Americans draft I am going to go with. You're gonna call me crazy for doing this. I'm gonna take Tom Brady. Okay, i'm gonna take Tom Brady.

Speaker 1: 21:35

So I've been thinking about this since we put this list out, and it's gonna be tough and it's a very Kevin thing to do. Yeah, definitely go ahead. I might take Neil Armstrong.

Speaker 2: 21:51

I was honestly thinking about taking Neil Armstrong, but I was like I can't let you have Tom Brady.

Speaker 1: 21:57

Yeah, I think Tom Brady been like son of a bitch.

Speaker 2: 21:59

Yeah, it wouldn't have been the worst thing, but you know, all right. So Neil Armstrong is gone. That sucks, cuz I love space.

Speaker 1: 22:07

I feel you.

Speaker 2: 22:08

Let's go with. I'm gonna go with Lincoln.

Speaker 1: 22:15

Lincoln No, it's a respectable pick, i Think.

Speaker 2: 22:20

I don't want to hog all the names I know.

Speaker 1: 22:23

Yeah, like you said, there are a lot of good names.

Speaker 2: 22:26

There are so many names on this list and yet again, like we said it's, we're do what.

Speaker 1: 22:30

We did, the best we can to whittle it down. So we got a little bit of everything on here, but I think I'm gonna go with Einstein.

Speaker 2: 22:38

Okay, see, yeah, i feel like people are gonna make a comment about how I don't know about Einstein, because Is he not like? am I gonna be stupid for saying he's German? is he not like German? I?

Speaker 1: 22:55

Had, not sure. I mean, he had American citizenship. I thought so.

Speaker 2: 23:00

I'm making myself Sound like a fool, so I'm just gonna stop before.

Speaker 1: 23:04

I take myself in a bigger hole, yeah.

Speaker 2: 23:07

And and with that, i'm going to take You know what. I'm gonna go off the board again here and I'm gonna take Walt Disney. I feel like it's early, i feel like I reach for Walt Disney, but it's Disney and they own everything, so Yeah, no, i totally agree on that.

Speaker 1: 23:26

Um, i Think, if you're gonna go with great Americans Americans that have the most impact are usually ones that are- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hold on a minute.

Speaker 2: 23:39

Sorry, i didn't mean to interrupt.

Speaker 1: 23:40

No, that's okay.

Speaker 2: 23:41

Yeah, he says he was German-born, so does he? does that make him?

Speaker 1: 23:45

Was he a US citizen? Do you I?

Speaker 2: 23:47

mean I mean he died in New Jersey, i mean I.

Speaker 1: 23:51

Mean he must have had his US citizens. That my philosophy is that you're a great American if you have your citizenship So you can come over from another country, but if you call the US your home, then yeah, he was at the.

Speaker 2: 24:03

He was at the California Institute of Technology. He was at Princeton, yeah, so all right, oh, that's fine, that's fine. Yeah that's fine.

Speaker 1: 24:14

Yeah, you can be born anywhere, but if you call this, this country, your home, then I then it's you know, and get a citizenship, then you're considered.

Speaker 2: 24:21

Okay, a great American.

Speaker 1: 24:23

Okay, um, so I'm gonna go with Martin Luther King, yeah.

Speaker 2: 24:28

Speaker 2: 24:58

Yeah, i see that I'm. Let's see I'm gonna go with the Wright brothers.

Speaker 1: 25:05

Good pick, good pick, all right. So I don't have an athlete yet, so Give me Kurt Angle.

Speaker 2: 25:13

I was, i was, i was waiting to kind of hold off on him for a little bit. I wasn't. I wasn't gonna take him right away. I was like if he's hanging out at seven or eight I might snag her, but if he's not, it's okay. I'm gonna go with The reason why the room is the way that it is, because it's lit so well. I'm gonna go with Edison.

Speaker 1: 25:31

Edison respectable.

Speaker 2: 25:33

Thomas Edison. Yeah, we, we. There is somebody that's on the list that we should probably add last minute, that we did not add who? Alexander Graham Bell, who'd invented the telephone.

Speaker 1: 25:44

Yeah, yeah, i mean we could. I don't, i don't know if I'm gonna take them, but AGB, man a GB. Yeah, all right. So let's see what's next for me. Give me the founding, the original founding father, george Washington.

Okay, alright, Okay, I think I know who's next. Give me Spielberg. Okay.

Speaker 2: 26:14

Steven Spielberg.

Speaker 1: 26:16

Yeah, yet again trying to go all realms, all different aspects. so you know, that's.

Speaker 2: 26:23

I would like to take a childhood favorite of mine.

Speaker 1: 26:27

Dr Seuss, dr Seuss, okay.

Speaker 2: 26:34

I can just imagine people listening now going What the fuck are they doing? There's so many names.

Speaker 1: 26:38

They're missing, dr Seuss.

Speaker 2: 26:41

Dr Seuss really over like Rosa Parks, kevin. Really Dr Seuss, and do you know what I say to that? If you have a problem with it, then maybe you should call up and you should be on the show and you can be part of the draft.

Speaker 1: 26:54

I just had a patent bit in my head when he was talking about Dr Seuss, not an angry pussy hunt. Oh yeah, i'll fucking show you.

Speaker 2: 27:04

I made your childhood magical. Oh my god.

Speaker 1: 27:13

Dummy.

Speaker 2: 27:14

Oh, I had the wrong one.

Speaker 1: 27:17

I can't believe you done that. That's the one I mentioned it. Okay, so let's go with. Give me Steve Jobs, Oh.

Speaker 2: 27:29

Stevie Jobs. Yeah, yeah, A name that we weren't going to put on the list and I was like I think we need to put this guy on the list.

Speaker 1: 27:36

Yeah, as you thought about, like when you wrote him down, like you know what, yeah, they probably donate like a shit ton of money and you know.

Speaker 2: 27:43

All right, i'm going to take her. I'm going to take Oprah.

Speaker 1: 27:47

Ah, okay, it's funny. Oprah was going to probably be an ex-pack if you didn't take her. Oprah, all right. So let's see really quickly. A lot of good names still There are a lot of good names, all right, so why don't you give me Jim Henson?

Speaker 2: 28:13

Jim Henson. I love how we have like US presidents on here. Nope, don't even fucking care.

Speaker 1: 28:21

We each took one. I took Washington and you took Lincoln Franklin.

Speaker 2: 28:27

I took Lincoln Franklin's, not a president, my guy.

Speaker 1: 28:29

I thought No, oh, dummy Yeah.

Speaker 2: 28:34

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 28:36

I don't know my history very well.

Speaker 2: 28:37

Franklin's not a president, dude, Okay well, hey, it's like when you trick people and you say which president's on the $100 bill and they go, franklin and I go ha ha. Franklin wasn't on. The fucking wasn't a president, you stupid asshole. But he is on the $100 bill.

Speaker 1: 28:51

Oh, that's probably why I thought that he was Okay. well, hey.

Speaker 2: 28:56

All right. So Each give one of us. All right, let's. There's some names. Oh, my God, i know.

Speaker 1: 29:02

All right.

Speaker 2: 29:04

So the names that are left here some of these are laughable, some of these aren't. We got Louie Armstrong. We got Amelia Earhart. We got Michael Jordan. We got Hulk Hogan, don't ask. We got Lou Gehrig. We got Lewis and Clark. We got Tiger Woods. We got Rosa Parks, harriet Tubman, fdr, ronald Reagan, teddy Roosevelt, bill Gates, henry Ford, mark Twain, alexander Graham Bell, Barack Obama, jackie Robinson And Nikola Tesla. Jeez And we've gone off the rails and taken fucking Walt Disney, elvis, dr Seuss and fucking Jim Hansen, like Jesus. What is wrong with us?

Speaker 1: 29:44

So you're a pick on my pick, it's my pick, it's my last pick.

Speaker 2: 29:51

I do want to take another president. I'm just trying to think of which one I want to take. FDR served for a long, long time, like a long time, yeah, and I know Teddy Roosevelt was in the. What fucking war was he in? Oh my God, i don't remember what war he was in. I know he was in a war Yeah, i don't remember which one I'm going to go. I'm going to go FDR.

Speaker 1: 30:29

FDR. Okay, all right. I, on the other hand, i mean, granted, you know, i appreciate the president, but I don't hold you same sentiment that I need to pick another president. So I actually think that I need to go with another athlete. I'm going to go Michael Jordan. Yeah Yeah, i was thinking I probably should have went Jordan Do you want a bonus pick?

Speaker 2: 30:55

We have so many names left.

Speaker 1: 30:56

Yeah, we could do a bonus. Pick Yeah, sure, why not Pick 11.?

Speaker 2: 30:58

All right, pick 11. Hey, bonus content here on the Wicked Case Podcast. All right, we're like 33 minutes in already, holy shit, i know.

Speaker 1: 31:05

Yeah, that's why I say if we had to end it with just those two, we would be done by now. Yeah, i know, that's true.

Speaker 2: 31:11

Well, we would have taken more time and maybe we would have like discussed like each person's like contribution and why that makes them a great American.

Speaker 1: 31:18

And that would have kind of You know how hard that would have to be.

Speaker 2: 31:22

No, not necessarily.

Speaker 1: 31:24

Can you tell me why Obama was a great president, besides being the first black president?

Speaker 2: 31:28

I met in general for everything.

Speaker 1: 31:30

Okay, i'm just saying like it's a tough task to do unless you know a lot about them, like I'm going to.

Speaker 2: 31:40

I'm going to go completely off the rails here. I'm going to go with Lewis and Clark.

Speaker 1: 31:48

Okay, i knew you were eyeing them before.

Speaker 2: 31:52

Well, for If we're talking about great Americans and obviously how they kind of you know like, helped, like you know, find parts of America that hadn't been found yet.

Speaker 1: 32:03

Yeah. So my other pick is going to be somebody that you mentioned earlier, that I was. At first I was like, oh yeah, i probably should have thought of them and I didn't. I'm going to go with Henry Ford. Okay, because that is. His contributions to the automobile industry were vital.

Speaker 2: 32:28

Yes, yes, they were So, and I will say if there was another person that was playing along with us, let's just say you are, you get Louis Armstrong, Amelia Earhart, Hulk Hogan, Lou Gehrig, Tiger Woods, Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, Ronald Reagan, Teddy Roosevelt, Mark Twain, Barack Obama, Alexander Graham Bell, Jackie Robinson and Nikola Tesla.

Speaker 1: 32:50

That's a pretty good list for those, yeah, exceptions. Yet again we whittled it down, but there was a lot of good names on those lists.

Speaker 2: 32:56

I will say as much as I like having a two person draft, if Chef or Steph, and that didn't mean to make that one Chef or Steph was a part of this, or even my mom was a part of this. I feel like the third person dynamic changes everything.

Speaker 1: 33:09

Yeah, no, i totally agree with that, but it's you know, we provide the content that we need to provide.

Speaker 2: 33:14

Right.

Speaker 1: 33:15

And your mom has expressed interest that she wants to be back on the show, so maybe we'll do another draft at some point with her.

Speaker 2: 33:21

What, what's that?

Speaker 1: 33:24

for. Well, you don't want her on the show.

Speaker 2: 33:27

I just want to see what she's going to react to it when she listens to the show Wow And it says really Sad trombone, really Oh geez, you just love getting your mom riled up, don't you?

Speaker 1: 33:40

Wicked pisha, all right.

Speaker 2: 33:45

On that note in the Great Americans draft I have taken.

Speaker 1: 33:50

Tom Brady as the first one.

Speaker 2: 33:54

Tom Brady, abraham Lincoln, walter Elias, disney, muhammad Ali, the Wright Brothers, wilbur and Orville, thomas Alva, edison, benjamin Franklin, theodore Geisel aka Dr Seuss Oprah Franklin, Delano Roosevelt and the pair of Lewis and Clark. You have Neil Armstrong, albert Einstein, martin Luther King, elvis Presley, kurt Angle, george Washington, steven Spielberg, steve Jobs, jim Hanson, michael Jordan and Henry Ford.

Speaker 1: 34:29

Both very good lists. I do agree. Extremely good list, i do.

Speaker 2: 34:35

Okay, now, as far as Controversial things go, listen, listen. There are hundreds, thousands of songs that could be considered patriotic. There are Military songs and all kinds of stuff, and there's all kinds of songs You could have made a list of just fucking country songs and there was a lot that had the word American or America or whatever.

Speaker 1: 35:08

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 35:09

No, I Tried to do my best. We both try to do our best to do songs that I would think the general public would know.

Speaker 1: 35:19

Yeah, and depending on what genre you listen to, right?

Speaker 2: 35:22

and I'm gonna read off all these ahead of time So people know. So at some point in the video There might be certain parts of certain songs that you may hear as they're being picked For what is it? How long are you allowed to do it? for? five seconds, seven seconds, something like that, eight.

Speaker 1: 35:37

Yeah, something like that, something like that, but I mean, even if we we're not monetized right now. So true what I don't think we'll get copyright and struck on the podcast. We'll probably just get copyright and struck, struck and on YouTube, which?

Speaker 2: 35:50

well, not if you pick a song that's from like the 1700s, because then there's no copyright because the copyright is already gone, or or if you at least acknowledge it if you would not usually, if you acknowledge it in The post and you say I don't own the rights to this music, it's just being used as entertainment purposes, something like that. Yeah, i'll have to look it up and see, so what the best option is here are the one, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen. I say we just go for the gusto and we just draft all of it, draft all the draft, all of it. Oh, wow, okay, We're just gonna go for it. This is the all or nothing one. We're gonna have eight rounds, okay, all of the songs will be picked. The following songs In list of order, from just whatever We've got the, of course, the classic one, the national anthem Of the United States of America, the star spangled banner, i suppose what's called. Yeah stars and stripes forever. By John Philip Sousa. Excuse me, courtesy. The red, white and blue, aka the angry American. By Toby Keith. American pie by Don McLean God bless the USA. By Lee Greenwood, born in the USA. By Bruce Springsteen ROCK in the USA. By John Cougar Mellon, camp partying the USA. By Miley Cyrus. America the beautiful Ray Charles. God bless America, kate Smith, american idiot. By Green Day, only in America. America. By Brooks and Dunn this land is your land. By Woody Guthrie, real American. The Hulk Hogan theme song by Rick Derringer Listen. At a time frame in the mid to late 80s that song was very popular, so I don't want to hear it.

Speaker 1: 37:27

No, I'm just laughing because I'm just picturing somebody going. You know what that is. That is fucking patriotic.

Speaker 2: 37:35

No, we did miss just a little, like the little bit. From What movie is that? the South, not the South Park was out.

Speaker 1: 37:44

Oh, team America, america fuck Yeah, yeah, wicked pisser, that's right.

Speaker 2: 37:53

Yeah, living in America by James Brown, and then I'm miscellaneous group who sings and this is probably gonna be at the bottom of the list for somebody might be the last pick in the thing Yankee Doodle and, like I said, there are a bunch of other songs that are out there And I do apologize if your favorite song is not out there, but I was just trying to. We were trying to whittle it down to, just, like I said, songs that a majority of the people would know, and there might be songs in here The majority of people that would know that we don't have on, and you might be yelling at your phone or whatever you're listening to on your Whatever device. You're listening to us on Going. Oh, you forgot that song and I would say I'm so sorry listen.

Speaker 1: 38:32

If you guys have that sort of moment, please let us know, so that way we know and we can, we can actually get some user Feedback, right, you know so good news for you You get the first pick well, if you're gonna go with songs that represent Being an American, i think the national anthem Has to be number one.

Speaker 2: 39:01

It doesn't right, it doesn't have to be, but you're gonna make it number one.

Speaker 1: 39:04

Yeah. Yeah, it doesn't have to be, but I just think that that's one. Play it at baseball games You play it you play it at every sporting event.

Speaker 2: 39:12

That's ever. That ever happens. Yeah, i am going to go with, actually, one of my favorite songs, which is Stars and Stripes forever.

Speaker 1: 39:24

It's a good song.

Speaker 2: 39:26

Do you remember hold on And maybe we'll talk about it on one of the shows in the future. What is it when we did when we had another sort of We're necessarily called a podcast I would call it more of just like a weekly radio show that we did? yes and we did a special 4th July episode. I don't know if you're probably remember we did a special 4th of July episode. We were doing like we were talking about America and we were talking about all that stuff and I I know at the end of the show I had already sent clips and The show ends and you just hear Stars and Stripes forever. Oh, it was, it was just it was. It was magical.

Speaker 1: 40:08

It was amazing.

Speaker 2: 40:09

They were just like yeah, we were like all right, peace out. Everyone you know happy 4th of July and they're wishing you shared.

Speaker 1: 40:18

That's. Yeah, they're very classic. Run through the veins, look do the veins All right.

Speaker 2: 40:22

So Stars and Stripes forever. I.

Speaker 1: 40:26

Have to go with Angry American by Toby Keith. I know it's literally the next one on the list, but that I definitely do think of America when I think of Toby Keith.

Speaker 2: 40:38

Okay, okay okay. By the way, there was like four or five like easily like American songs. There was American soldier, there's a angry American, there's Toby Keith had like tons of them.

Speaker 1: 40:50

Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, shit ton.

Speaker 2: 40:53

I am going to go with, honestly, what I think Should be our national anthem, which is God bless America. Okay, personally, i don't have. Let me just put this out on blast right now for everybody. I don't have any problem with the national anthem. I do not yeah it's a little long, but that's okay. But when I look at like other countries or read like the lyrics for other countries, let's use, for example, canada Canada kind of explains what it is, what kind of a country it is, and is kind of like a Rally cry or like a song of like Devotion to the country of Canada and I feel like that's what God bless America does. And I know that our national anthem is great. Don't get me wrong. I can say that's great. But it's also, wasn't it like a war, was a war song first and then it got transferred, i think, to to be our national anthem.

Speaker 1: 41:53

Yeah, but a lot of these things that come from that sort of era are They're, they're war, be there war songs or came from war times. So you know that's true. That doesn't really bother me too much, because that's part of our history.

Speaker 2: 42:07

That's true, and now thinking about it, the way that the world works nowadays, people would probably have a problem with the fact that it would be God bless America and people go. I don't believe in God, and be like well, for the next fucking minute and a half when the fucking anthems on you do so. Shut up, yeah.

Speaker 1: 42:23

Yeah, and that's the thing like. I don't want to get political, but we are no, no yeah we don't. We don't do that on this show.

Speaker 2: 42:29

No, no, no no, you know.

Speaker 1: 42:31

I have my opinions, but I'm gonna keep them to myself. But all right, so I I think.

Speaker 2: 42:40

I think I didn't leave myself enough space. I should have spaced this way over here.

Speaker 1: 42:43

That's all right, i'm gonna go born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen.

Speaker 2: 42:52

It's okay, i have, i'm gonna, i'm gonna double down. I think hold on. Okay, i think I'm gonna double down and I'm gonna go. You know what? no, i'm not, i am gonna go with a classic America the beautiful.

Speaker 1: 43:08

Okay, all right, i can respect that. Okay, so with my next pick in the draft, i think I Am gonna go with American pie by Dom McLean. I Know, i just you're killing me here. I know, i know killing me, all right.

Speaker 2: 43:37

Well, i gotta take something that I appreciate, so I'm gonna do it. What's that? I'm gonna go, real American.

Speaker 1: 43:48

Okay.

Speaker 2: 43:49

You know, what it's.

Speaker 1: 43:51

I can appreciate that.

Speaker 2: 43:58

I'll tell you this if you're not a wrestling fan and you least hear like that, you know who it is. Oh, yeah, yeah, you know what that song is.

Speaker 1: 44:06

All right, so with my next one. God bless the USA. By Lee Green, lee Greenwood.

Speaker 2: 44:12

I see I wanted to take that one But I was like I don't want. God bless America and God bless the USA. I feel like I'm kind of cornering the God bless market.

Speaker 1: 44:21

And I understand that. All right, we're whittling down here, we are whittling, we are whittling a lot. Whittling.

Speaker 2: 44:30

I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go Living in America Okay, By James Brown Living with a herney.

Speaker 1: 44:50

All right, so my next pick. I'm gonna go a little bit out there, but American idiot Green Day.

Speaker 2: 44:57

See, i was looking at that, i really was, but I was just like, ah, i don't think so.

Speaker 1: 45:03

I mean, it's you know.

Speaker 2: 45:06

You certainly have a nice little eclectic mix.

Speaker 1: 45:09

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 45:10

Because you've got your regular national anthem, you got your Toby Keith, you got Bruce Springsteen, you got Lee Greenwood, you got Green Day and then you've got Dom McLean.

Speaker 1: 45:19

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 45:20

And then you've got what like classic.

Speaker 1: 45:23

Most of them are classic, yeah, and.

Speaker 2: 45:26

I think everyone I've taken, except for the first one, has the word America in it. So there you go. I'm gonna go Only in America by Brooks and Dunn.

Speaker 1: 45:38

Oh, another one with America in it.

Speaker 2: 45:39

Yep.

Speaker 1: 45:42

All right, i will say most of yours are classic, like in terms of like you've been around a while, so I gotta go with one to kind of help match that too, cause I have the national anthem, but I need something else, so I'm gonna go.

Speaker 2: 45:55

This land is your land, okay, Ah, i'm gonna go party in the USA.

Speaker 1: 46:03

Miley Cyrus okay.

Speaker 2: 46:11

Hands up, say my son.

Speaker 1: 46:13

I mean I respect it, i respect it. So that means I guess I get rockin' the USA by John Mellencamp.

Speaker 2: 46:18

You either get ROCK in the USA or you can take Yankee Doodle.

Speaker 1: 46:21

Not take Yankee Doodle.

Speaker 2: 46:23

Why What's?

Speaker 1: 46:23

wrong with Yankee Doodle, Because I don't see Yankee Doodle Like it's yeah, it's a sing, it's just a sing-songy thing.

Speaker 2: 46:29

It's like Okay, all right, all right, all right All right. All right. So do you wanna swap it out for something else? We can swap out Yankee Doodle. we can find something else that we both agree on, And then you can have your choice to be the ROCK in the USA or something else.

Speaker 1: 46:42

What else? what other songs are there? We didn't even you know. I don't wanna take up the listener's time with Oh, please, they got.

Speaker 2: 46:50

they're still 10 more minutes until the hour's up, so they'll be fine.

Speaker 1: 46:53

Okay, all right.
