What happens when two young men let their love of movies, comic books, and all things “geek” take over their lives? They run away from their families, bringing only the most essential DVDs and comics to their secret, highly fortified underground bunker in sunny Southern California, where they start recording podcasts that will change the world.
Are they heroes?
No.
Are they geniuses?
Far from it.
Are they the future of this planet?
I sure hope not.
Simply put… Matt Cohen and Jesse Rivers are “Bagged and Boarded”.
BAGGED & BOARDED #54: Just A Little Stoned – In which Matt and Jesse get current and discuss the new MIA video, Gizmodogate, and a slew of other newsworthy topics. Oh, and Matt is ridiculously high. Bagged and Boarded: Purely Professional since 1874.

Matt needs to be banned from talking about anything political, honestly dude, maybe read a paper every now and then before you decide to call someone trying to convey a very simple political message a retard.
Genocide exists in the world and most people dont realize it, so I dont see how attempting to let people know that’s going on is such a terrible thing.

Also matt should listen to the lyrics of “paper airplanes”.
The song alone should be enough to change matt’s image of her based on the lyrics.
“all I wanna do is *bang,bang,bang* and a *cha-ching* take your money”
the music makes you think it’s a sort of happy song.

Great episode. Loved the Are You Afraid of the Dark reference, that show was the shit. By the way, they were called The Midnight Society. Also, I’m pretty sure you busted the dopest throat singing solo ever uttered in podcast history, congrats. I now declare this post by The Midnight Society over.

Matt is a twelve-threat, mediocre to bad at many things. Whenever you finish your screenplay, perhaps we’ll see if you are actually good at something besides podcasting. Until then, settle down, you’re not any more talented than I am.
It’s not hard to be better than Jesse though, try saying the exact shit you said here to someone from the north.
Don’t be so full of yourself, please, it comes off bad.
April 30th, 2010 at 1:13 am
Oh yeah, the throat singing was hilarious.
April 30th, 2010 at 1:22 am
Why not-
A. Maybe you missed the inherent humor/sarcasm in the “12 threat” section, but it was there. Also, again… way to high.
B. Jesse loves you. Hard. And by north, do you mean Canada?
C. Thanks. I’m composing you a throat ballad as we speak.

@MattCohen
Please read up on MIA before you speak about her again. You are completely ignorant of who she is as an artist. A lot of her songs have a political or social messgae in them, including “Papaer Planes” (the chorus is about her not being able to get into the US due to the American government cracking down on “trouble” people from other countries). Her clothing used to be primarily home-made/designed, either by her or people she knew. The image/sound is a juxtaposition to what the musical content contains.
Don’t casually dismiss one of the most important young artists of the last decade.

To the M.I.A supporters- Show me deep meaning in any of this- yeah, she mentions borders, and visas and killing, but in zero context to anything personal as people have been describing.
I’m gonna “look” for the deeper meaning in these.. please correct.
“I fly like paper, get high like planes
If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name
If you come around here, I make ’em all day
I get one down in a second if you wait”
She makes fake visas to get into the country? Doesn’t mention her inability to gain access to the usa, or the fact that she was “made” as a person from a “nation of interest”. Sounds like she makes fake passports. Word.
“Sometimes I think sitting on trains
Every stop I get to I’m clocking that game
Everyone’s a winner, we’re making our fame
Bonafide hustler making my name”
Something about making money or being famous? Sounds pretty bog standard rap to me.
“[x4]
All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!)
And (KKKAAAA CHING!)
And take your money”
She wants to kill me and take my money? Or she is being sarcastic about it. Either way… word.
“Pirate skulls and bones
Sticks and stones and weed and bongs
Running when we hit ’em
Lethal poison through their system”
More vague death threats/drug references- Guys.. sound just like 90 percent of rap songs, which isn’t bad but far divides her as “an important young artist” imo. She rapping about nothing new.
“No one on the corner has swagger like us
Hit me on my Burner prepaid wireless
We pack and deliver like UPS trucks
Already going hell just pumping that gas”
Oh…. It all makes sense now. SHe packs AND delivers like ups trucks. My bad,
“M.I.A.
Third world democracy
Yeah, I got more records than the K.G.B.
So, uh, no funny business”
She has a larger music collection then all of Soviet Russia’s secret police. Now… that’s just bragging.
April 30th, 2010 at 4:20 pm
damn!!when matt cohen breaks it down,it’s no joke.I guess this means there’s a new character added to the b&b roster.More M.I.A impersonations,that shit was funny.
awesome show guys.

MIA BLOWS….nuff said. Snoogans!

Paper Planes is a crossover hit by an “indie” artist, an accidental one at that.
There are standard elements found in average hip-hop tracks, but 90% of hip-hop does not come from a woman with a “third world” perspective that uses a Clash beat (produced by someone influenced by Brazilian music)to illustrate a character that makes visas to benefit herself and people like her, wants nothing more than to bust a cap and steal some money and brags about her rap sheet (“some of them I murder. Some I let go.”)
While this track single-handedly lends itself to a Beastie Boys “Paul’s Boutique” comparison, there is much more to M.I.A. if you look past her Top 40 success. Her records use electro beats, world beats, disco beats and left-field samples.
You can argue about a song you don’t like, you can be wrong, but you can’t make a valid critique of an artist based on one song. Try “Amazon”, “Bamboo Banga” and “Bird Flu” to see what else M.I.A. brings to the table.

Since apparently being from a horrible place is all that it takes to become one of the “most important young artists of the last decade” i think im gonna adopt a kid from burma and write him a loose interpertation of biggys ready to die album and make bank of him while all the wannabe politicos make up deep interpritations of each of his song….see the albums called ready to die thats because hes from a place where people die young in the course of the genecide of his land. “Juicy” ohhh that must be a political message about the lack of food the genocide has caused his people. “Gimme tha loot” ohhh thats deep its displaying how poverty has affected his people because of the genocide. Warning, ready to die, machine gun funk….THIS KID IS SOOOOOO DEEEEPP

Your jests actually resemble valid, similar interpretations of Biggie songs. There is real substance to BIG’s tracks that lend themselves multiple readings. That’s part of the reason why his albums continue to be relevant besides being a natural storyteller with a great flow and solid production.
Just because you don’t reach that conclusion from your listening experience doesn’t mean it’s not there.
May 6th, 2010 at 3:00 pm
what?
May 10th, 2010 at 11:47 am
It wasnt a diss on biggy (it was a MIA diss), quite the opposite, bigs one of my alltime fave artists, i chose him as the subject for the joke because his material is quality, so if i was going to manufacture an “artist” by stealing songs it would make sense to use his works as a basis because they would definatley sell. It was more a stab at making things seem deeper and more worldly than they really are based on loose\nonexistant connections and mentioning current events. Just because you drop a few political references in a few tracks dosent make you bono.
