Summary

So here's a thought: you're legitimately a sadist if this is your favorite band. There has never been a greater real life example of a million monkeys in a room with typewriters accidentally reproducing Shakespeare's body of work, except The Replacements only took four humans hating how bad they were at life and their instruments for about a decade in order to make whichever four songs you believe justify the rest of this inexcusable career. Imagine being from Minneapolis and having to argue The Clash simply weren't drunk enough so you can pretend your city matters to the history of rock music.

0:56.4

I doubt there is a single thing that we're going to say in this episode that nine out of

1:00.2

10 replacement fans will disagree with.

1:02.4

I mean, the only reason this is someone's favorite band is because of how much this band sucks.

1:08.7

That's what you like about this band is that they suck.
