Popularity rank 16 #236. I have to hate MGMT

June 10, 2009

BRETT: Well, as of 3pm, MGMT has over 300,000 fans on Facebook. I have to hate them now.

BRETT: They're becoming mainstream. An anti-MGMT backlash is inevitable. It's like the STOCK MARKET. I gotta get out before the bubble bursts...

GREG: But why so SOON? Aren't you being overly cautious?
BRETT: You don't underSTAND... You weren't there in '99.

BRETT: ...when the bottom fell out of the RETRO SWING market...
GREG: Oh right... the Bryan Setzer "correction."

January 21, 2009

GREG: But if it WAS how it worked, what would you vote for?
BRETT: It's NOT how it works, and it's a WASTE of time to think about, and you're an IDIOT.

A pause.
