You know what I'm saying? We're here to come bomb something other than the Middle East, right?
Brian Simpson (1:28)
Yeah, when I first got here, there was a dude who was saying that he signed up for four years in a row and didn't get picked. That's insanity, but I mean, it was like the same thing for William Montgomery, I think, when he first got on. It was like four years before he got on.
Jon Deas (1:45)
Wow, that's insane.
Brian Simpson (1:46)
Yeah.
D Madness (1:47)

Jon Deas (2:16)

By the way, and I was going to say this, and I hate giving musical notes, but I was going to say this. The drums are overwhelming on your guys' version. Like overwhelming. Play that one more time. Where did that come from? Was that you? So to what? To smother out every other instrument?
Play that one more time. Play the actual version.
It should be D Madness' bass stealing the show.
Yakov Smirnoff (3:41)
I'm just saying.
Tony Hinchcliffe (3:48)
Heidi's Farts in a Jar would sell like crazy by the way. Oh my god. Remember to tell Monica that. We'll just sell, sell empty jars and call it Heidi's Farts in a Jar.
D Madness (3:58)
I will attempt to fart in them if that's what the show needs.
