0:00Yeah bud, Rochko, another one. Go to workin' about half-hour here, gettin' geared up. Come on out and dance, if you get the chance, We're gon' spit on the rivals, all I want to know, How far you wanna go, fightin' for survival. I need the stars where we park the cars, Ain't showin' signs of stoppin' pretty little girls,

1:04Make it to their crush, ready to lay in the coffin. If you wanna go, I'm gonna go. I've gotta fire burning, go on, take my hand, When we see the band, baby's gonna be a big one on you. It's gonna be a big one. Mmm. Yeah, happy Tuesday. It lights, and we hear the fights. It's gonna be a stunner. I've got somethin' here. If you give me one more beer, I'm gonna call a runner.

2:08I don't wanna say what I have to say. Baby, I'm kickin' off now. If you wanna go, I'm gonna go. I'm goin' back down south all along. I'm goin' back down south now. I'm goin' back down south now. You deserve. It reminds me of days in confused, music video. The baseball scene. I wanna go. Then after I come to the paddle, I'm goin' back down south now. Come on, take my hand. They're waiting behind the outfield fence with the paddle.

3:10I'm goin' back down south now. When we see lights, and we hear those guys, I'm goin' back down south now. All I want to know is how far you wanna go. I'm goin' back down south now, oh yeah. I'm goin' back down south now. I'm goin' back down south now. I'm goin' back down south now. I'm goin', all right. Here we go. Let's do another one. Another one.

4:10All right. Eat some Greek yogurt. You know, get some good healthy protein in me. Let's do this song. Is this one one? Is this one? What do I want to advertise from the chair? Welcome to all the new listeners. The podcast. It's really blowing up right now. All right. Here we go, baby. It reminds me of Stranger Things. Actually, I already covered the song, but I'm gonna do it again. I'm a crazy boy. I will begin, oh yeah.

5:14Like the dolphins, it's like a truncated version. Dolphins can swim. Though nothing, nothing will keep us together. We can be them forever and ever. We could be heroes. Just for one day. That was low, really. Let's go, baby. Let's go, baby. I will be king.

6:14And you. You will be queen. Nothing. We'll drive them away. We can be heroes. Just for one day. We can be us. Just for one day. I can't remember, remember, standing by the wall, by the wall, and the gunshot of my head. Over our heads, we kissed.

7:18So nothing could fall. Nothing could fall. The shame was on the other side. Oh, we can be them forever and ever. We can be heroes. Just for one day. Oh, we can be heroes. We can be heroes. We can be heroes. Dude, let's do a...

8:18Dude, you know who I love? Rob Thomas. Uh, Mashbox 20, dude. Underrated band, man. But Rob Thomas, he's the man. Dude, remember that one... Oh, that one Rob Thomas song, dude. Is it Diamonds? Dude. This song rocks, dude. Rob Thomas. Diamonds. Like Diamonds. It's like that's Rihanna's song. Like Diamonds. Oh, dude, this song brings me back, dude. This brings me back. Here we go. It's that one, the Rihanna song, but it's Rob Thomas. Diamonds, Diamonds. Here we go.

9:20Oh, what the hell? She says I just can't win for losing. And she lays back down. Man, there's so many times. I don't know what I'm doing. Like I don't know now. By light of the moon, she rubs her eyes. She says, funny, I'm not gonna make you blind. I can just imagine. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. But if she feels bad, then I do too. So I let her be. She says, I can't take no more diamonds on the floor. And her diamonds bring me down. Because I can't help her now. She's down in it. She tried her best and now she can't win.

10:21Hard. See them on the ground. Her diamonds falling down. Down. We're down. She says down and stares into the distance. And it takes all night. And I know I could break her concentration. But it don't feel right. And by light of the moon, she rubs her eyes. She says down and bed and starts to cry. And there's something less about her. And I don't know what I'm supposed to do. So I sit down and I cry too. But don't let her see. And she says, ooh, I can't take no more.

11:23Her tears like diamonds on the floor. And her diamonds bring me down. Because I can't help her now. She's down in it. She tried her best and she can't win. Hard. See them on the ground. Her diamonds falling down. Damn, this is so long. She shuts out the night. Tries to close her eyes. She finds daylight. She'll be all light. She'll be all right. That's not tonight. She says, ooh, I can't take no more. Her tears like diamonds on the floor. And her diamonds bring me down. Because I can't help her now. She's down in it.

12:24She tried her best and she can't win. Hard. See them on the ground. Her diamonds falling down. Can't take no more. Her tears like diamonds. I can't take no more. Diamonds on the floor. Damn. Woo! All right, here we go, baby. Let's do one more here. I thought of another one to do. To round this baby out. Smashing pumpkins. Smashing pumpkins, another underrated. Great. Late 90s alternative rock, dude. Let's go, man.

13:25This song rocks, bro. All right, here we go. Oh, let's go. Let's go. Ah! They ain't getting on the carpet. Stretch out a little bit. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I love this music field. It's like very cool. Cartoonish. Time is never time at all. You can never, ever leave.

14:26Without leaving a piece of you. In our line, our line changed. We'll never be the same. The more you change, the less you feel. Believe. Believe in me. Believe. Believe. The life can change that you're not stuck in vain. We're not the same. We're different tonight. Tonight, tonight, so bright. Tonight, tonight.

15:39I love this music here. And you know you're never sure. But you're sure you could be right. You held yourself up to the lights. And the embers never fade. And you said you'd buy the lake. The place where you were born. I was born by Lake Kirkland, Washington. Believe. Believe in me. Believe. Believe in the resolute urgency of now. And if you believe there's not a change. Tonight, tonight, so bright.

16:41Tonight. We'll crucify the insincere tonight, tonight. We'll make things right. We'll feel it all tonight, tonight. We'll find a way to offer up the night, tonight. The inscribed role moments of your life tonight. The impossible is possible tonight, tonight. Believe in me as I believe in you. Tonight, tonight, tonight. Tonight, tonight. Sir William Corgan Billy, that's my boy.

17:46Oh, you're my boy. Aldrich, that's my boy. Anyway, shout out to Aldrich Potgeitor, me and my dad's favorite golfer. From last summer in our annual summer South Dakota trip. And I hope you're having a great day and thanks for listening. Yaaah! Yaaah! Yaaah! Yaaah! Yaaah! Yaaah! Yaaah! Yaaah! Yaaah! Yaaah! Yaaah! Yaaah! Yaaah!
