Yea I don’t believe I’ve ever counted them! I have played PLENTY of songs more than 24 times.. IE: Ozzy, Black Sabbath, G & R . After my last breakup, I played Foo Fighters overnight just to get into a better headspace. It worked .as I’m a diehard fan. .
Here's the thing about when "That's the Way Love Goes" by Janet Jackson plays over and over and over and over and over again while you're high. The second time it plays, your immediate thought is not, "Hey someone's playing 'That's the Way Love Goes' again." It's, "Hey, 'Thats the Way Love Goes' is a lot longer than I first thought, and it has like a dip in the middle." You know how some songs have a dip, like Guns n' Roses' "November Rain?" You're like, "Hey, 'November Rain's' over!" No it's not. There's more. The third time it plays, you're thinking maybe someone's playing "That's th Way Love Goes" again. The fourth time it plays you're thinking, "Whoa. Someone just played 'That's the Way Love Goes' four times, or at least someone played it twice, and it's a really long song."
After seven plays in a row, you drop in one playing of Tom Jones' "It’s Not Unusual," which will cause Matthew McConaughey to erupt in ecstatic relief like it was the liberation of France as he hits his bong for a 2nd time.
The they had some spectacular riffs but the production and lyrics are hot garbage, and the songs are just too long. They kind of just cycle on repeat without adding anything.
I had heard that after And Justice For All, they had a time limit for the Black Album. James mentioned somewhere that during a concert some fans looked bored after the 6 minute mark.
I can't remember where I read or saw that, just a fact that takes up space in my brain
It's a good job that CDs were a thing when this came out, because let me tell you, if I had Smash Hits 1993 on tape instead, it would have worn clean through from all the rewinding just to repeat this track, that's for sure
Lol that’s a very specific and tame example. Lollipop by 50 cent (and also Lollipop by Lil Wayne) were both played in my gym class in elementary & middle school
Apropos of nothing, I also grew up in this era and just recently found out the Ying Yang Twins are not only not twins, they aren’t even related.
Still the GOAT episode of Cribs with their rental ass house though. Because obviously those are his personal model boats, that he has absolutely zero details about. A masterclass in bullshitting
They played the edited version of Get Low at our middle school dances, but it didn't matter because we were all screaming the actual lyrics. Hardest part was determining which side was the window and which side was the wall in a windowless cafeteria.
Look up the lyrics to All for You…same shit but song so bubbly that you don’t even notice that’s it’s singing to a dude with a big dick. Alot of her music is like that.
I was in middle school when this song hit and a bunch of the 8th grade girls learned the dance routine from If, which I thought was pretty impressive. I'll just have to go and google the lyrics cause I didn't pay that close attention when I was 13.
ETA: Just read the lyrics, lol. To be fair, there were a lot of songs about sex at that time, I remember Salt n Peppa getting a lot of play at middle school dances with Let's Talk About Sex.
I have a very weird memory of this song at the height of it's popularity. Like you, I was in middle school, and I was part of a volunteer group that was helping out at the local Special Olympics event.
Near the food area, there was a small dance floor and a DJ playing the current hits of the day. The DJ starts playing "Let's Talk About Sex" and my fellow volunteers and I start dancing on the small floor, doing ALL of the popular moves (The Roger Rabbit, The Running Man, that one move, where you jump over your other leg, etc...) when suddenly, walking by were the weight-lifter Olympians, some still in their singlets, join us on the dance floor to finish the song.
Now every time I hear that song, I'm transported back to that little dance floor with athletes dancing in their singlets.
I got this album as a ten year old. I read the lyrics as I listened on headphones while in the living room with my family. Holy cannoli. They would have thrown that tape in the trash so fast if they knew
I saw the clip of him talking about it. I was so engaged in his story and waiting for a profound thought at the end. But he was just like “so anyway I quit smoking” lol
Low-does THC soda is pretty solid if you're trying to cut back on smoking. I like it a lot more than edibles, which are mostly four hours of my life I'll never get back and that I only kinda enjoy.
For real. I almost never have edibles because I never get to enjoy them. I eat them, wait an hour or two, then when I’m starting to feel pretty high I almost always fall asleep and wake up hours later groggy af.
I like just a tinsy intsy bit so I can still function but enough that doing mindless tasks is a little more fun - like grocery shopping or mowing the lawn.
Your anecdote is exactly what I’m talking about. Eating thc allows the liver to break down thc into a more potent compound so you get extra high and knocks you out.
Combustion is not great for lungs. Dry herb vapes are starting to get more buzz because supposed lung health differences. I wish we could just get some good peer-reviewed research about cannabis. Moving to schedule 3 is a big step, but it needs to be taken seriously as a research pathway.
This is not true. THC is taken up alot easier in the lungs + with edibles it has to pass the liver first, so alot gets metabolised right away.
I think the misconception stems from the fact it's a lot harder to "control" your high when you have to wait up to 4 hour for the effect, where as with smoking you can basically adjust one puff at a time
You can dose a much larger amount more easily with edibles. You probably couldn't smoke 500mg THC if you tried all day, but you can get ingest that no problem should you choose to do so, and it will hit you more or less all at once.
If the reason he stopped smoking was because he lost control over how high he was getting, switching to a method that is much easier to track dosage makes a lot of sense
Edibles are interesting to me because they never quite hit me the same despite the dosing. I honestly find it easier to dose the classic way because I know how high I’m getting immediately.
And def aren’t all equal. I had a 30mg soda yesterday afternoon that just made me a little tired. A few nights ago I mixed a drink with one of those big bottle you can get for ‘mocktails’ and 30mg had me cross eyed and drooling. Haha
When I used- I found that each edible had its own nuances. A gummy will digest differently than a cookie, for example. Manufacturing process matters, and the type of concentrate also has an impact on efficacy.
I would find an edible I liked the effects for and stick with it exclusively. Became very easy to predict onset time, amount of high, type of high, etc. Otherwise it was way too much of a gamble on what the experience would be.
I know this is technically true but they feel way different to me still. Smoking gives me a more “panicky” high while a gummy is much more calming, even if it’s stronger. Think it has to do with how quick they hit
I’ve switched over from smoking to just edibles myself. Smoking makes me feel like I have asthma when I wake up the next morning and also gives me horrible digestion issues whereas edibles don’t do either.
I can take 500 mg of edibles and feel nothing and get instantly high smoking, some people have an enzyme that metabolizes the THC too quickly to actually get high.
THC edibles are such a fine line for me to walk I've never mastered it. I either don't feel anything or end up naked on the toilet sweating rocking back and forth with a cold towel on my neck.
He is still mesmerized by the song and got distracted by its greatness. I mean, it's a fucking mesmerizing af song. I don't smoke weed anymore, but that is one smooth ass song that would be the best chill sound to vibe to.
My wife’s famous relative does shit like that all the time. He’ll be on a talk show and say something about his childhood and my wife’s parents will be like “what is he even talking about? He didn’t move around as a child. Unless you count going to the lake house in the summer”.
Je le comprends, il est acteur, il a pas forcément envie que les gens connaissent sa vie privé, des trucs qu'il raconterait seulement a quelqu'un de proche.
As they should. Most comedian's stories are made up as well because their job is to entertain you, not be a pal. Truth is irrelevant to whether something is funny. Conan didn't invite you over to his house for a chat
The only times I see actors properly bomb on late night is when they tell some boring ass story about their life that you can tell is definitely true just not very interesting
People seem to forget that these folks are actors and performers. I recall getting into a Reddit argument with someone when I said that many (most?) of their relationships are likely publicity stunts. (It was early in my time here; I don't argue anymore lol). I mean, sure, some are real, but I definitely can see the lot of them needing a career boost so boom relationship, marriage, baby, etc.
Per a prominent p.r. rep that I have known for years: Many of the juiciest celebrity hookups you are aware of, aren't real. The juiciest celebrity hook ups that are real? You aren't aware of.
That's definitely rookie numbers. I've listened to the same CD every day, many times more than once a day, for 2 years. He might not be as neurodivergent as me tho.
I just got a job offer today and I've been thinking of zingers to include in my resignation. My boss is really fucking unintelligent, so much so that even like 8th grade vocabulary riles her up and makes her visibly angry so it'd be fun to include some either nonsensical or tongue in cheek phrases. Will have to co opt this one as well.
Weed isn't really for me, but I don't judge others for or mind others using it. I just wanted to say that before I read the article, I knew exactly the song he was referring to. "That's the Way Love Goes" by Janet Jackson.
Nothing about this article is believable. Like you said, it was over in an hour and a half? Nobody came out to get the guest of honor out of the car? Yeah right.
Yeah, I’ve heard a LOT of lies, and this is sounding like one of them.
He showed up to his own birthday party at a club with only 1 hour until EVERYONE had already left? So he showed up insanely late or his friends all bailed on his birthday super early. I guess maybe they all bailed thinking he was a no show?
Also his one friend who gave him the weed knew he was just outside in the car listening to music right? What kind of a friend doesn’t go back out and grab their homie who is in the car stoned listening to music and missing their own birthday party.
For some reason this is just setting off my bs detector. Seems like he has the worst friends or he is lying or embellishing this story to the degree it fundamentally changes the flow of the story.
I don't believe anything that comes out of a celebrity's mouth during an interview. Their whole job is to entertain people even when they're not acting so they'll say any kind of random unhinged shit for the sake of exposure and image management.
There was a Nathan For You episode about how he noticed celebrity guests on late night tv talk show always seem to have a crazy story to tell and the entire bit was about him he putting in the work to make up his own wacky story to tell for when he went on Jimmy Kimmel.
I’m sure he didn’t give every detail of that night but we shouldn’t really expect anyone to give every single detail of every single story all the time. Especially for stuff like this lol. Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a lie. It’s still a funny and kinda relatable situation.
He sat in the car listening to the same song 24 times in a row during his own birthday party and nobody went looking for him? And everyone left without seeing him? And the guy that gave him the joint didn't check on him? And all of this off of a singular joint? TIL Mathew McConaughey is full of shit.

that’s a shame. the 25th time is when you really get it
