I'm dying a little a little slower every day. On the inside.

SPEAKER_07 2:13

Aren't we all? Yeah. I mean, same here, dude. I I haven't done nothing all week. This is a laundry.

SPEAKER_08 2:20

Like usual, because you're a piece of shit.

SPEAKER_07 2:23

Yes, exactly. I don't play with my baby. I ignore my wife.

SPEAKER_08 2:31

You don't answer my phone calls. I don't answer my phone. That one's true at all. That one's true.

SPEAKER_07 2:36

But I expect everyone to answer my call.

SPEAKER_05 2:38

That is also true. Let's keep doing this. I like this, guys. Keep going. I'll answer true statements about myself.

SPEAKER_07 2:46

Because I'm still a piece of garbage.

SPEAKER_05 2:50

That's also true. Who else has got one?

SPEAKER_07 2:53

Guys, if you if you can't hear, neither can Harley. We can't hear him. Guys, as you can see, we've muted forever and never and never.

SPEAKER_05 3:04

Don't forget the music news. This show's gonna be great. If you're gonna do this, you have to do it right.

SPEAKER_07 3:08

Don't worry, nice.

SPEAKER_05 3:10

There we go. There we go. Awkward silence.

SPEAKER_07 3:15

What what is Harley saying?

SPEAKER_08 3:18

I don't know. It's like he's speaking Mandarin.

SPEAKER_07 3:21

That's my favorite instrument.

SPEAKER_05 3:24

It would be so funny if you guys actually couldn't hear me.

SPEAKER_07 3:28

I think he's in both of these, which is crazy.

SPEAKER_08 3:30

I know he spit both of these.

SPEAKER_07 3:35

That's funny.

SPEAKER_05 3:36

Hold on, hold on, hold on. Where's it at? Where's it at? Where's it at?

SPEAKER_07 3:41

Should we take it from the top? Got it!

SPEAKER_05 3:46

Do you want to? Do you want to take it from the top? Are you giving up on being me?

SPEAKER_07 3:53

In bed. Can I just can I curl up with a blanket?

SPEAKER_05 3:56

Sure. Can you can you do it? Does it work?

SPEAKER_07 4:02

Guys, I don't like being a host of the show. I feel lost. I don't I don't have my things ready. Should we release my Carly out?

SPEAKER_08 4:10

No, no. He's got enough stress.

SPEAKER_07 4:13

He looks great though. If you guys are watching on YouTube, he looks so HD right now. Look at him. You can barely see him. You can barely see you.

SPEAKER_05 4:22

I gained three pounds though, so you know. Like I said, piece of shit.

SPEAKER_08 4:28

Agreed. A fat one at that. Shut up. You shut up.

SPEAKER_07 4:33

Shut up, Neg.

SPEAKER_08 4:34

Say three nice things about yourself.

SPEAKER_05 4:36

What did Taylor say? I don't play with my kid. I don't answer Chris's phone calls.

SPEAKER_08 4:43

I wouldn't either.

SPEAKER_07 4:44

I heard Harley has a boyfriend.

SPEAKER_05 4:46

That's also true.

SPEAKER_07 4:48

Who's real true about that? Harley does. Unfortunately, it's not you, so I've heard you slut. Something about a guy named Kyle.

SPEAKER_05 4:57

Kyle? I don't even know a Kyle.

SPEAKER_07 4:59

He drinks a monster and punches on the wall.

SPEAKER_05 5:02

Taylor, did you Lindsay told me this? Did you see that they are making a frozen three and Olaf finally has like a.

SPEAKER_07 5:11

Can you hear Harley?

SPEAKER_08 5:13

It's kind of like he's here with us sometimes.

SPEAKER_07 5:15

Sometimes? Why can't I hear him at all? I'm stressed.

SPEAKER_08 5:19

Wait. Alright, hold on. We can hear you, dipshit. Let's do this thing.

SPEAKER_07 5:23

SPEAKER_08 6:00

Remove yourself and come back in, he says.

SPEAKER_05 6:03

You're removing yourself and come back.

SPEAKER_08 6:05

Harley, I hope you're gonna edit this out.

SPEAKER_05 6:07

Nah, this is all in.

SPEAKER_05 7:58

SPEAKER_05 8:49

Hey, what's up, everybody? Future Harley here. Taylor proceeds to tell, quite frankly, one of the longest stories about something going on at her work that we clearly cannot put in the episode. Not to mention, we're already like almost 10 minutes in and the episode hasn't even started. I just really hope that you guys find this as hilarious as I do, which is why I left it in. If not, definitely let me know, and I'll never do this again. But I I think that the technical difficulties that we're going through are very funny. So, anyways, I promise the episode's gonna start soon, and we are gonna get to the music stuff that you're here for. So thank you for supporting. Thank you for listening, and yeah, enjoy the rest of the show. It's a good one. All right, future Harley out. Bye, everybody.

Fresh out the kitchen. Oh, okay, okay, okay.

Dolly Parton Tribute And Hot Take

SPEAKER_05 11:12

What's up, everybody? Welcome back to the show. I am your host, Harley, joined by my co-host and little sister Taylor, and my co-host and little sister Chris, whose nipples are very excited to talk today. And Taylor can't do improv to save her life. Yes, Taylor.

SPEAKER_07 11:29

Can we redo? I got stressed. No way. Oh god, it's how embarrassing. Redo literally, I was like, we did listen.

SPEAKER_08 11:40

I forgot the video was being recorded. I'm sitting there trying to make everyone laugh.

SPEAKER_07 11:44

Like, which is crazy because RAP Dolly.

SPEAKER_05 11:48

Yeah. Well, I mean, Chris was doing his immemorial.

SPEAKER_07 11:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 11:52

Salute.

SPEAKER_08 11:53

Boopy's out for dolly. It should have been like out here.

SPEAKER_05 11:56

Salute to the late, great Dolly Parton. Will be missed. Thank you for sending. Thank you for sending Adam all of his books. We super love that.

SPEAKER_07 12:07

Wait, guys, this might make me cry. This episode might make me cry.

SPEAKER_05 12:11

Hear me out, all right?

SPEAKER_07 12:13

Okay. She is on my hear me out.

SPEAKER_05 12:15

I think Dolly Parton was a fantastic human being in every sense of the word. However, I think that she was exceptionally overrated in our society, and there was an entire section of the last couple of years where she became like the face of everything. Everyone was obsessed with her. Her face was everywhere. Her merch was everywhere. It filled Walmart's shelves.

SPEAKER_10 12:42

And the DG, dude.

SPEAKER_05 12:44

And it got to be way too much dolly for me. No. Again, I think she was a great person. Her music was lackluster to me. But here's my take. I don't want to get political, but this is going to be slightly political because it really pisses me off. We had 18 service members die recently. And no statement was made about those 18 people. Nothing at all. And Dolly Parton died. And a giant statement was made by the powers of this country. And the flags were ordered to fly at half-staff for a week. And we didn't even do that for our military service members who died. Literally, the reason the flags are supposed to fly at half-staff. That didn't happen. But we did it for Dolly Parton. That is that's just my take. That's what upsets me.

SPEAKER_08 13:54

Yeah, yeah, but I think that's more of a well. Yeah, I think that's more of a mad at the people in charge, you know.

SPEAKER_05 14:03

Yeah, yeah, it's not Dolly's fault. Okay, okay, yeah. Make that clear, like obviously it's not her fault. Yeah, no.

SPEAKER_08 14:08

I'm not wrong. I read the news. I did not know about 18 service members.

SPEAKER_05 14:13

18 service members have died recently in the attacks in the war. And that's that's as far as I'll state it here.

SPEAKER_09 14:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 14:24

And and the fact that no statement was made about those service members, and instead we stopped a country because a fucking celebrity died is really, really upsetting. Again, that is not Dolly's fault. I think Dolly is an incredible human being, was an incredible human being. I've talked about her advocacy on here a couple of times. I love the literacy program, I love the funding of vaccines, I love all of the different things that she gave to the Red Cross, her community, the things that she did in her life are incredible. But that's my only issue is that what are we doing, guys?

SPEAKER_07 15:07

No, for sure, for sure.

SPEAKER_08 15:09

No, it's a societal issue.

SPEAKER_07 15:12

Yeah, it is a societal issue.

SPEAKER_05 15:14

That being said, though, R.I.P. Dolly, we lost the legend, and we also lost Tim Curry and Leslie.

SPEAKER_08 15:25

Well, Hayden Penettier, too. I might have mispronounced it.

SPEAKER_05 15:30

Yeah, she she also passed away very young, too. Also, yes. Um, but the voice of Optimus Prime, I believe his name was Peter Collin.

SPEAKER_09 15:46

Oh yeah, black hat.

SPEAKER_07 15:51

Let me see, let me see.

SPEAKER_05 15:53

Yeah, Peter Collin. Yep, Peter Collin, the voice of Optimus Prime died as well.

SPEAKER_07 15:57

Ah damn. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_05 16:03

So talk about uh talk about a really rough week, guys.

SPEAKER_07 16:10

Really rough week.

SPEAKER_05 16:11

Deaths, yeah. Everybody has their time, and everyone has happened to be theirs, you know.

SPEAKER_07 16:17

Dolly Dolly lived to be eight years old. She did incredible things. You know, she could have been a good job billionaire, dude. A good job billionaire, yeah. And you know why.

SPEAKER_05 16:28

What do you mean?

SPEAKER_07 16:29

Dude, she donated so much money everywhere. Like she was not stingy. She she donated, she funded, like.

SPEAKER_05 17:06

Let's take a let's take a guess. Everybody take a guess of what you think Dolly Parton's net worth is.

SPEAKER_07 17:12

Is net I have a question about net worth.

SPEAKER_05 17:14

I'm gonna say 300 million. 300 million? Taylor, give your number, give your number first, and then we'll answer your question.

SPEAKER_07 17:21

Okay, I'm gonna say two billion. Two billion? I don't know how much money is. Too high, too high, eight, eight. Uh uh, what Chris say three 300 million? I'm gonna say 600 million.

SPEAKER_05 17:35

600 million?

SPEAKER_08 17:36

Okay, probably closer.

SPEAKER_05 17:38

The answer was 500 to 650 million is the estimated net worth of Dolly Parton. Yeah, Taylor, your first answer was like like Elon Musk levels.

SPEAKER_07 17:51

Like, I don't know. I don't know how much things are.

SPEAKER_08 17:54

There's a lot of catch up with Dolly, she already has a colony.

SPEAKER_07 17:58

She already has.

SPEAKER_05 17:59

There's a lot of millionaires. There's very few billionaires in this world.

SPEAKER_07 18:05

Good job billionaires.

SPEAKER_05 18:07

So, yes, Dolly Parton's net worth was pretty damn high, especially in her field. She was for sure, without a doubt, in the top one percent of musicians net worth. But again, she was an incredible person. She gets to work that nine to five upstairs. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_07 18:32

I'm looking something up. Stand by.

SPEAKER_05 18:33

She she no longer has to have a coat of mini colors, Chris. Because the only color she's gonna be.

SPEAKER_07 18:38

Dolly gave away, also Dolly gave away an estimated of six hundred million dollars to carry in her lifetime.

SPEAKER_05 18:47

There you go. She gave away her entire net worth.

SPEAKER_07 18:51

Her entire network, that's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_05 18:53

So, like, she would, yeah, she would have been a billionaire.

SPEAKER_07 18:57

She would have that's what I'm saying. She would have been a billionaire. Imagination Library, Disaster Relief, Medical Research, Local Education.

SPEAKER_05 19:08

Now, tell me what your favorite Dolly Parton songs are.

SPEAKER_08 19:12

Nine to five. That is my favorite.

SPEAKER_05 19:15

Working nine to five.

SPEAKER_08 19:17

Dude, when they had it on Sat and the Beaver was singing it, I was like, oh hell yeah.

SPEAKER_05 19:24

I want to do more. I want to do I want to do more heaven-related Dolly Parton quips real quick. Dolly, I'm sure you'll find Jolene up there somewhere, and you can beat that girl's head.

SPEAKER_07 19:36

I was gonna say, Jolene is my favorite. There is a girl, I actually saved the TikTok. Can I play TikToks for you guys on my phone? Is that allowed?

SPEAKER_05 19:45

It is not. What tick tick tocks are carp copyrighted, buddy?

SPEAKER_07 19:51

Tell them to roll up. What do you mean?

SPEAKER_08 19:55

You're ruining them alive.

SPEAKER_05 19:59

Also, in case you didn't know, she wrote I will always love you, Taylor. She was the original.

SPEAKER_01 20:07

I did know that actually.

SPEAKER_08 20:08

And I think she wrote that and Jolene in the same session.

SPEAKER_07 20:18

Dang, I did not know that.

SPEAKER_01 20:20

Jolene. Jolene.

SPEAKER_07 20:22

Oh guys, I really can't remember.

SPEAKER_01 20:24

Okay, Joe.

SPEAKER_07 20:25

So I was watching this TikTok, and this girl wrote a song to the tune of Jolene, but it was about Dolly.

SPEAKER_01 20:35

Joe Move. Joe Move. Joe Move.

SPEAKER_07 20:39

And I'm sad I can't play it for you guys, but it was beautiful. It was really incredible.

SPEAKER_05 20:43

Joe Run. Joe Run. Joe Run. Joe Run.

SPEAKER_07 20:50

But yeah, no. Sad, sad day. Um the I'm trying to think of who it was. The King and the Queen over in England. Their band, the British band of sorts.

SPEAKER_01 21:04

The Beatles?

SPEAKER_07 21:05

Yes. No, the um, the I don't, I'm not 100% sure on who they are, but it's like a marching band over there.

SPEAKER_08 21:12

You too? Like the royal marching band?

SPEAKER_07 21:15

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

SPEAKER_08 21:17

Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band. I was thinking beans and toast, but it's fingers and matches. So me me Atlas. I don't think creatures paying attention, but me and Atlas are watching Blippy. Yes. And he he has this this, I don't know if it's like an episode or like a sh movie, whatever. This own thing. Where they're over in England, and he's he's like recording blippies recording them, and it shows them. And I'm like, that's that's fucking cool. Yeah, it's like a royal marching band.

SPEAKER_07 21:46

It's the royal marching band. They they did a tribute. I have to be able to show you guys that.

SPEAKER_05 21:51

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_07 21:52

Dude, it was on it was on the news network.

SPEAKER_05 21:54

That uh the news is also copyrighted, buddy. That's so you can understand they're gonna draw and quarter you if you do that.

SPEAKER_07 22:03

Probably. I'll I'll have to send it to you guys separately, then you'll have to go watch them if you please. But they also did a tribute of working nine to five. And it was all sound like Ringo Star?

SPEAKER_05 22:13

Do they all sound like Ringo Star?

SPEAKER_07 22:15

It was genuinely so amazing, like to watch, especially as a band kid. I was like, that's crazy that you guys just pulled that out and just did that.

SPEAKER_05 22:25

One one of the guys looks at the other one and he's like, Hey Bub, did you know Dolly Borden died today?

SPEAKER_07 22:30

Literally.

SPEAKER_08 22:31

I feel like Canadian.

unknown 22:33

Yes.

SPEAKER_05 22:34

I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 22:35

It was not the best.

SPEAKER_05 22:37

So I tried to pick like somewhere in the middle.

SPEAKER_07 22:41

I feel like we've been so close to world peace in two points in history. The World Cup being held in the United States of America and then Dolly Parton dying.

SPEAKER_00 22:53

What?

unknown 22:54

I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 22:55

I felt a lot of sportsmanship during the World Cup. Like it was crazy. Like we're all just like watching and rooting. And I'm like, this is great. I get why people love things.

SPEAKER_06 23:03

You mean the thing that happens every year?

SPEAKER_07 23:07

You can every year, but but everyone got because everyone hates America, and so many people got to come to America to see the World Cup, and they're like, Oh my gosh, let me go to a Bucky's for the first time. Like watching people just like enjoy American things. It was cool.

SPEAKER_05 23:22

Yeah. All right. I mean, sure. I don't know, dude. Okay. But or just the world cup in general.

SPEAKER_07 23:29

I felt like we were pretty, pretty united during that time.

SPEAKER_05 23:31

But like we travel to other countries and do the same shit. I don't travel anywhere. Yeah, I'm saying Americans, though.

SPEAKER_07 23:38

Like, yeah, but I'm saying it's cool as an American to see that.

SPEAKER_05 23:40

Americans go to Europe and they're like, I'm sure hang out at the Royal Palace.

SPEAKER_07 23:46

I'm sure Europeans think it's cool. Like as an American, I thought no, they don't.

SPEAKER_05 23:50

They think we're nuisances.

SPEAKER_07 23:52

Oh no, I thought it was pretty cool. I'm like, yeah, come on over, enjoy, enjoy things here.

SPEAKER_05 23:56

Yeah, but like that's not world peace. There's no world peace. What?

SPEAKER_07 24:00

No, but like, but like we all came together, even united.

SPEAKER_05 24:03

No, we weren't united.

SPEAKER_06 24:05

But we're all saying, she did say the closest.

SPEAKER_05 24:08

All right, all right. So you saw the videos of all these foreign people enjoying our stuff, right? Did you also see the videos where all of the Americans were yelling about the foreigners coming over here for the World Cup and complaining about how it was going to be all these foreigners? And then we also made fun of them when they came over here and they were like, Oh my god, it's so hot. And we're like, damn right, because we're Americans, we could deal with this shit. You didn't see those videos?

SPEAKER_08 24:34

No, see, no, listen, listen. I think those are I think those are warranted because you see all the videos where where they're like, you know, it's oh, it's you know, what would be 73 degrees here? Like Americans just don't know, and it's like that's a cool day. Like what are you talking about?

SPEAKER_05 24:50

No, I agree with you. It's just crazy to say that we were united when there was an equal amount of fun of people.

SPEAKER_08 24:58

She didn't say united, she said closest to world peace. I'm just arguing the argument.

SPEAKER_05 25:04

You know, when we were closest to world peace, Taylor. Let me tell you, let me tell you, listeners, here's when we were closest to world peace.

SPEAKER_08 25:13

Let me take you back one second. When half the world didn't know the other half of the world existed.

SPEAKER_05 25:20

Let me take you back to a time in my childhood. Taylor, you'll remember this year fondly. The year was 2000.

SPEAKER_08 25:29

Shut up, shut up, shut up.

SPEAKER_07 25:31

The month was September.

SPEAKER_05 25:36

The date was the 12th. Oh my gosh, you mean when the date when everyone was the most united as a globe. As a country, you mean when not just as a country, we were we were united as a country for sure, but the globe with dude, with all due respect to everybody out there, on September 12th, half of this world were like, hey, we're here, we're ready. You let us know where you need us. That is fucking world peace, right there, buddy. And you know what came from that common enemy, yeah, horrible things after the 13th was probably the worst day in history, but on the 12th, on the 12th, we were the closest to world peace that we've ever been, and then we all decided to hate people from a specific country. But we were, but hey guys, tight rope, tightrope, tight rope.

SPEAKER_07 26:39

Anyways, RIP Oli. Yes, very sad thing.

SPEAKER_05 26:44

It was it was terrible, it was terrible. I don't have anything planned, guys. What other music stuff do you want to talk about?

SPEAKER_07 26:55

That was the only thing I had.

SPEAKER_05 26:57

Full disclosure. Full

Guest No-Show And Dolly Facts

SPEAKER_05 26:59

disclosure. We were supposed to have an interview today, and the guest didn't show.

SPEAKER_07 27:05

So no phone, no show.

SPEAKER_05 27:07

This is this is an impromptu episode. We have no plans, we have no game. I can't even do the fourth episode of the bracket because we're not prepared. We we still have voting going on, so can't even do that, guys. Well, I'm avoiding talking about video games because I feel like my go-to anytime I don't have anything to talk about with music is video games, and that's very difficult.

SPEAKER_08 27:33

Anyways, so Dolly Facts. Okay, well, you do some dolly facts. I've heard this one before, but she lost a look-alike contest.

SPEAKER_04 27:46

I did see that.

SPEAKER_08 27:47

So she entered she entered a Dolly Parton look-alike contest. And I from what I gather it was a drag queen contest, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 28:01

That's hilarious. And she lost. That's damn it the schlong wasn't big enough, dude. They were like, they were like, you're not packing like Dolly is.

SPEAKER_08 28:39

Why? Because you did the recipe.

SPEAKER_05 28:42

I did the recipe. I played a uncopyrighted version of 9 to 5. It was it was like close to 9 to 5, but it wasn't the actual song. And then we showed like pictures of Dollywood in the video, and we showed like the recipe, and and it was a fun video, actually. Do you guys want to watch it? I will watch it later, but not right now. Oh, okay. All right. You guys want to watch Family Guy clips?

SPEAKER_07 29:12

We got any uh go go pull up your Instagram. We can watch

Trading Memes And Game Clips

SPEAKER_07 29:15

some Instagram things.

SPEAKER_05 29:16

I could do that. Let me you guys vamp, I'll I'll pull it up, see if Lindsay's got anything she sent us.

SPEAKER_07 29:22

I don't know what that word means.

SPEAKER_05 29:24

You say it every time. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_07 29:27

Is that is that something someone in their 30s say or it's something that we say in the industry as industry leaders? Got it. So people in their 40s.

SPEAKER_05 29:42

I have it pulled up. I have three that we could watch. There are two that I have specifically for Chris. And you can tell me if I need to cut them. Probably.

SPEAKER_08 29:58

If you have to ask that, yeah, you probably need to cut them.

SPEAKER_05 30:01

They're so funny though. They're so funny, dude. All right, we'll just play these three. Yes. And share screen. Share audio.

SPEAKER_06 30:23

If I was a sculptor. But then again, no.

SPEAKER_05 30:31

You guys probably don't know that song, right?

unknown 30:34

Yes.

SPEAKER_05 30:34

That's uh oh, okay, okay. That's Elton John, everybody else. Is this Billy Joel?

SPEAKER_06 30:43

If I was a sculptor.

SPEAKER_05 30:46

Let's see, we'll do this one.

SPEAKER_00 30:48

Nine oh four, nine seven two seven one three three one four two oh one. Nine one six oh one five seven oh four two oh six eight oh eight two one six seven oh two oh one four three one two two eight one three three four two oh five three one eight six oh one two oh three eight oh four four oh two three oh one nine oh four four oh seven eight five foundicrous as an accountant or a just reading area codes.

SPEAKER_05 31:19

Or uh or uh well he does that in the song. Um or a loot accountant as the sign says.

SPEAKER_07 31:27

Very funny, very funny.

SPEAKER_05 31:29

And how about this one?

SPEAKER_06 31:42

That one's pretty funny. That's good.

SPEAKER_05 31:45

That one's pretty good. Okay, I'm I'm just gonna click on it. Tell me if it's too much.

SPEAKER_06 31:50

You're finally awake. Let me tell you something. They have treated me so bad too much. Oh, that's fucking hilarious, dude. I'm gonna send it to you. I'm gonna send it to you. There's another one. I love it. It's so funny, it's so funny. Shit. Oh man, Skyrim. So good, it's so good, dude. There's another one that I have. It's him as Hogwarts Legacy. Is that two girl woke up? He played Slytherin.

SPEAKER_05 32:22

Oh shit. Okay, I'm gonna send it to you. You've gotta watch it because it's so funny. Anyways, those are those are the three that we can show, guys. It's it's so good, dude.

SPEAKER_08 32:34

So I'm reading music news. Tom Hardy releases a wild album. So actor Tom Hardy dropped the new album featuring Shakespearean re

Tom Hardy Drops A Wild Album

SPEAKER_08 32:44

recitations and recreations? No, it's recitations. Recitations? Recitations, yeah. Never used that word before. And raps about comic book villains. That's funny. I have to fucking check this out. He was in Venom. Yeah, oh yeah. I mean, he was in a shit ton of movies. Like, that's not even the first one I think of.

SPEAKER_05 33:07

He was Zane in The Dark Knight Rises. He used to talk like this.

SPEAKER_08 33:21

Oh, let's see. Oh. New AI chart restrictions. Official music charts in Australia announced that a wholly

AI Music And Chart Rules

SPEAKER_08 33:30

AI-generated recordings are banned from charting, requiring tracks to be substantially human-made.

SPEAKER_05 33:36

Interesting.

SPEAKER_08 33:38

That's I think, yeah. Yeah. I think that that's a great step.

SPEAKER_05 33:44

Again, it bounces back to that conversation we've been having of like what is art? You know what I mean? Like who decides what art is? Have we had that talk on the show? No, not on the show. So I know you and I have talked. Yeah, you and I have talked about we've had AI music talks on the show.

SPEAKER_07 34:02

We have had that exact conversation on the show.

SPEAKER_05 34:06

Oh, have have we actually had it on the show?

SPEAKER_07 34:08

Because like you guys can talk about it again, but like we've had like it is heavily extensive talk.

SPEAKER_05 34:14

Yeah, it is interesting. It's very difficult though, because like should we be stopping these songs from charting? Is that technically fair, or are we No?

SPEAKER_08 34:25

I think stopping them from charting or being listed, you know, like that makes sense.

SPEAKER_05 34:29

I think they should be listed in their own category.

SPEAKER_08 34:31

Like if you want to make money by doing it and people want to buy it, awesome. Yeah, but like different leagues, you know what I mean? You don't compare the NBA to the WNBA, and I'm not saying that man. Jesus, some comparisons can be made. But but that you know what I mean? They're two different leagues.

SPEAKER_05 34:50

Yeah, those dudes don't know how to play basketball.

SPEAKER_08 34:52

Exactly. There we go. There we go. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 34:55

But what I'm saying is like if somebody makes an AI song and it's so good that it captivates the world and charts to number one, then they should have their own charts. Should they have their own charts or should we just put them in their own category of music? Because that in turn, in turn, though, like like let's let's break it down. Let's say that let's say that AI music is its own genre, right? So what I'm kind of getting at is like in that sense, that's like saying that a rock song can't chart because it's a rock song. Does that make sense? Like it should be its own genre.

SPEAKER_08 35:41

AI music should be its own genre, and the people that love it, you're still allowing it to be in the top 100.

SPEAKER_05 35:48

But if the people love it, like that's their choice, you know what I mean? Because like rock songs don't chart in the top 100, but they have their own chart. There's the rock chart list, the top 100 rock songs. Does that make sense? Like Billboard has its own divided up chart already.

SPEAKER_08 36:09

Then again, if I mean if you had a dog jumping on a piano and for some fucking reason a billion people bought it, it's gonna chart, it's not human.

SPEAKER_05 36:21

Yeah, maybe that's a dumb example, but but it it is a good valid example. Like, at what point do we decide what's art and what's not, just because it's not and I hate saying not man-made because like it is still man-made, like it's not like it made it itself. Yeah, we've used Chat GPT, we've used AI, it can't just make things up on its own, it needs input, it needs programming, it needs direction.

SPEAKER_08 36:52

So now, one thing I do think though is with a with AI art, uh art, I'll put it that way, I have arguments with Faith all the time about it. I do think though, that if it uses someone else's artwork in any kind of way, oh yeah, as in like inspiration, then those people should be listed. You know what I mean? Like it shouldn't have an extensive list, like, okay, if they I don't care if they took the smallest bit, like we took Kanye's craziness. Okay, put them on there.

SPEAKER_05 37:28

I I also agree that that should be put in its own category, it shouldn't be allowed to be at the the museum with human arts, yeah. It should be put in its own place, and and I do like so recently Meta and YouTube and pretty much all of the the algorithmic programs have started requiring a label on AI works. So, like if you make something with AI, it when you go on Instagram, it says this was made with AI, and it gives you a percentage, it'll say this is you know 50 AI, this is 100% AI. And ChatGPT, according to what I read about Meta, because they they hit me up with uh, hey, a lot of your stuff is AI, and I was like, Hey, I fucking know.

SPEAKER_08 38:13

No shit.

SPEAKER_05 38:16

I don't hide it, but they hit me up and they told me, like, you can still post this stuff, but you need to know that ChatGPT now has a hidden signal within its stuff that when you use it in an art capacity, it has something in the metadata that the algorithms are able to look at and say, Oh, that is AI, and it includes the percentage of how much of it is AI.

SPEAKER_08 38:39

Oh, so like if you post something, it'd be like what 0.5% AI.

SPEAKER_05 38:45

Who me?

SPEAKER_08 38:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 38:48

No, all of no mine's 100% AI because it's 100% AI generated artwork. Does that do you get what I'm saying? The actual artwork, but what there's if there's voices, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. No, I'm talking about just the artwork that I'm putting on Instagram. All of our other stuff is not AI driven. So our short clips, yeah, our short clips are like 10% AI because it's just pulling the the information from the episodes. But like when I put up posts and and like the brackets and stuff, those are generated through AI. Speaking of our bracket system, should we talk a little bit about this? Could be like a prequel to round four of the bracket system. Chris wasn't around

Bracket Talk And Voting Updates

SPEAKER_05 39:34

for rounds two and three, right? Yeah, what was your take? Did you like where we've ended up so far?

SPEAKER_08 39:43

I am for the most part, yeah. For the most part, I agreed. Like when you guys were like, oh no, for sure, yeah. I was like, Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 39:58

I still have a sneaking suspicion that Garth Brooks is gonna clean house. I fucking hate Garth Brooks. Really? Friends in Low Places. You hate friends in low places.

SPEAKER_08 40:09

No, I didn't say I hate every song, it's like every other artist, though. You know what I mean? I might like one or two songs. I'm better than I like a dozen.

SPEAKER_05 40:17

I don't know if like is enough to describe how I feel about that song in particular. I could care less about anything else Garthbrook has ever made. Dude, that song in particular means so much to me.

SPEAKER_08 40:31

Dude, I think like I think that's like Sweet Caroline. It comes on and everybody sings, right? You know what I mean? Like, I know I want to never mind. I do not want to harm myself because I just said it now, it's stuck in my head. Have this baby shark. There we go.

SPEAKER_01 41:47

Baby shark.

SPEAKER_08 41:50

Have you heard the metal version?

SPEAKER_01 41:52

Oh, yeah. Oh, dude.

SPEAKER_08 41:53

Atlas was listening to it today when I picked him up from school. He's from the back seat, just but yeah. Yeah, I think it's one of those.

SPEAKER_05 42:08

So I I think that I think that that has a strong chance of winning. I also think that Kanye might be a sleeper cell, dude. I think Kanye might also have a pretty strong chance. He might have a pretty strong chance of wiping the floor with the competition. I hope so. Another recent development, Taylor. Remember that girl that we watched from America's Got Talent? Nene? Or I think that was her name, Nene. Nene? I'm not sure. Nene. I think her name was Nene. Yes, Taylor. I was thinking of the same thing. Watch me whip. She got the golden buzzer. Did you see that?

SPEAKER_07 42:51

I did not, but it's about time.

SPEAKER_05 42:52

Yes, she got the golden buzzer. The golden buzzer is where they send somebody straight to the finale and they don't have to do the rest of the competition. But she did a cover of Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden, and that pushed her through.

SPEAKER_08 43:09

Damn, I'd like to see that.

SPEAKER_05 43:11

I would love to show it to you, but no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_08 43:14

I don't mean on the show. Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_05 43:16

So I do want to talk about our polls that we have up right now. We do have some voting. The first one that I put up was Kanye, Pink Floyd, Garth Brooks, and Caether. Pink Floyd took 56% of the votes.

SPEAKER_08 43:31

And to think they're just a Beach Floyd cover band. That is wild, man.

SPEAKER_05 43:36

Like Kanye only got 11 votes. And then Garth Brooks got 22%, and Caesar got 11 as well. This poll is on this is on YouTube. You can vote on YouTube under our post section on our YouTube page. The other one was Lincoln Park, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Michael Jackson. Lincoln Park got 25% of the votes. The Red Hot Chili Peppers got 38%. Harry Styles was on there. Harry Styles got zero, Taylor, just so you know. And Michael Jackson got 38. The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Michael Jackson are tied for votes right now. So there's that. I was talking with Lindsay's sister, Courtney, who is an advid listener and commenter, and she said the reason that she doesn't like these polls is because it comes off as you're voting one of these artists against the other three artists, and they're not lining up in a way that makes sense. She was like, I'm voting for Michael Jackson, but I love these other bands. But when I think of how Michael Jackson surpasses all these other artists, it makes me vote for Michael Jackson. And I was like, Well, that's not what I want. That's not the purpose of the poll. So I might do them again and put them up every day with two artists instead of four and have it be the two artists that would go against each other. Because I do want reasonable competition to get the proper votes out. But as of right now, that's where we're at. Michael Jackson is tied with the red hot chili peppers and Garth Brooks and who was the other one that I said.

SPEAKER_08 45:30

Wait, you think Michael Jackson is tied with the red hot chili peppers?

SPEAKER_05 45:32

Yes, sir. Unless somebody just went in there and voted.

SPEAKER_06 45:41

No way.

SPEAKER_05 45:44

Hey, looky there. Michael Jackson now at 44%. That's crazy that you would pick Michael Jackson over the chili peppers. Dude.

SPEAKER_08 45:56

Dude. Like, I'm not listening to Michael Jackson while I'm cleaning. Red hot chili

Michael Jackson Vs Chili Peppers

SPEAKER_08 46:00

peppers all day. Michael Jackson any any any other time, though. You love Michael Jackson? Really? I love little Michael. Do you really?

SPEAKER_05 46:09

Dude, I fucking love Michael Jackson. Hell yeah. Really? Yes. That fascinates me. Why? Yeah. Why? I don't know. The music's gonna move. I mean, there's no judgment. I'm just fascinated. I don't understand the hype of Michael Jackson.

SPEAKER_07 46:33

I I am also surprised by this fact that you're going to choose Michael Jackson over the red hot chili button.

SPEAKER_08 46:39

Trust me, my finger went like this a couple times.

SPEAKER_07 46:42

Like, that's wild.

SPEAKER_05 46:44

I agree with the legacy. And I think that's what I said on the episode was that I agree with the legacy. But like his music to me was not innovative in any way. It was kind of, I guess, a little revolutionary for the time, but his voice is the only thing that really set him off as far as like different than than the rest of the world and his and his dancing. But I really couldn't care less about choreography. I know there's a lot that goes into it, and I respect the people that do it, but choreography is just not something that I care about. I don't know how else to put it.

SPEAKER_08 47:22

Um it's not it's not a factor. I will say though, I mean, choreography goes along with either a live show or a music video. And there's been times where I thought, like, oh, okay, that song's that's all right. And then I watched the music video and I'm like, now every time I hear the song, I picture a badass music video and I'm like, I fucking love that song. So it does factor in for me, you know. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 47:45

No, I can understand that.

SPEAKER_08 47:46

It's like putting a song with a memory or song with a movie, you know what I mean? Like, who sung the speaking of fucking Transformers, you know?

SPEAKER_05 47:55

Lingham Park. Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_08 47:57

It's like next time you hear that song, what do you see? Fucking Optimus Frog. Yeah, you know what I mean? Like, that's yeah, it does add to it.

SPEAKER_05 48:08

But what I what I will say is I agree with you in the sense of the music video tells a story that builds a memory. However, the red hot chili peppers have one of the greatest music videos of all time. The can't stop music video where they're all video game characters? Do you remember this?

SPEAKER_08 48:32

No. I will be watching it.

SPEAKER_05 48:34

Oh, we're gonna watch it right now because I'll just do it without the sound. And we will sing it. Can't stop music

The Can't Stop Video Rabbit Hole

SPEAKER_05 48:49

video. Yeah, here we go. And we are golden. Are you guys ready to see this music video? I'll sing it. Wrong button. All right, here you go, Chris. This is the can't stop music video. This is the you had to have seen this growing up because this video was awesome for me when I was growing up.

SPEAKER_08 49:25

No, dude, I didn't have internet most of my childhood.

SPEAKER_05 49:28

This wasn't on the internet. This was on Was it on CMT? Well, no, it wasn't on CMT. But it was it was on TV and when I was in school because they had like the morning school program, and they would play music videos in the morning, and this was one of the ones that would play in the morning, and it's awesome. Can't stop addicted to the shindig. Anyways, it had Flea, it had the rest of the band, John Vrashanti and Anthony Keatis and Chad Michael Murray? No, what the hell is the drummer's name? Chad something.

SPEAKER_08 50:12

Chad Chadwick?

SPEAKER_05 50:14

No, Chad Chatterson, something like that. No, I don't think so. But yeah, dude, they they were video game characters, and it was like old PS2 style shit.

SPEAKER_08 50:23

Yeah, that does look pretty dope. That that is yeah, that shit takes me back right there. Like, yeah, dude. Yeah, I've never seen this before, but it definitely takes me back from like Tony Hawk.

SPEAKER_05 50:33

Yeah, yeah, yeah. This was awesome.

SPEAKER_08 50:36

And at V, you know, uh was it Off-Road Fury? Off-road fury, dude. Yeah, or like was it four?

SPEAKER_05 50:45

Oh, I don't remember which number it was, but do you remember the snowboarder game?

SPEAKER_08 50:49

I only ever played the demos that came with the game. Me too.

SPEAKER_05 50:52

Yeah, dude. It had like it had snowboarder and like the first level of spyro.

SPEAKER_08 50:58

Yep. Oh, did it have the the the fucking like floating jet ski things?

SPEAKER_05 51:04

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyways, yeah, the red hot chili peppers, guys. So yeah, I I don't know, man. I I think right now my biggest contenders are the chili peppers or Garth Brooks, those are my two picks. But as of right now, the leading option is Pink Floyd.

Arguing For Garth Brooks Magic

SPEAKER_05 51:25

People seem to really love Pink Floyd, which is not what I was expecting. Taylor, your thoughts.

SPEAKER_07 51:36

I love Pink Floyd, so I I'd be happy if they if they took a sweep. Makes sense. Doesn't didn't see it happening, love to see it happen.

SPEAKER_05 51:47

Again, though, I'm gonna I'm gonna do what's that movie with Matthew McConaughey where he plays the lawyer. Lincoln?

SPEAKER_07 51:55

Lincoln Lawyer?

SPEAKER_05 51:56

No, no, not that one. Was it Double Jeopardy? A time to kill. I'm I'm gonna time to kill this right now, alright? I want you and Chris to close your eyes. Okay. Close them. Close them. Get them closed. I need you to visualize this for me. Picture that you're out in the woods and there's a bonfire.

unknown 52:17

And you're naked.

SPEAKER_05 52:18

No, you're not naked. There's a bonfire. We're sitting there, we're chilling, we're having a great time. I open up a cooler next to me. And I say, Chris, you want a corona? You say, Hell yeah, brother. I hand you the corona. Taylor, you want a white claw? You're like, Absolutely, buddy. I hand you a white claw, and we're sitting there, and the fire's perfect. It's a fall night. It's amazing. The crickets are out, they're singing, we're drinking, we're having a great time. Everybody loves everybody. And then out of nowhere, you hear, blaming all of my roots. I showed up and boom.

SPEAKER_10 53:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 53:04

In your black tie here. Last one to know. Last one to show. I thought I'd be the last one you thought you'd see there, whatever the song is. Anyways, point is picture you're white now.

SPEAKER_08 53:21

My wife?

SPEAKER_05 53:23

No, no, you're white. Like the movie.

SPEAKER_08 53:24

Oh, I am. Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_05 53:26

Oh like what? Now now picture she's white. Have you seen that movie? Lincoln Lawyer? Yes. No, no. Time to kill.

SPEAKER_07 53:37

Time to kill.

SPEAKER_05 53:38

No. Taylor, that was a great joke, right?

SPEAKER_07 53:41

No, it was pretty good. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 53:43

Chris, now you have to watch that movie.

SPEAKER_07 53:45

It's a really good movie.

SPEAKER_05 53:46

It's a fantastic movie.

SPEAKER_07 53:48

It's what made me fall in love with Matthew McConaughey.

SPEAKER_05 53:50

Isn't Samuel L. Jackson in that one?

SPEAKER_07 53:52

I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 53:54

I can't remember. But but regardless, it's an incredible movie. It's a really good movie. He gives this whole monologue during the trial, and he tells everybody close their eyes. And he tells them this story about this girl being brutally murdered and taken advantage of against her will. And then it and this is the movie takes place like during the time of the 40s and 50s, I think. Yeah, yeah. There's a word for it though. Jim Crow? Yeah, that type of story.

SPEAKER_07 54:28

Yeah, during that time, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 54:29

Yeah. So, anyways, the the jury's all-white jury. This is a southern case. He makes them all close their eyes. He tells them this story about this little girl, and then he and then out of nowhere, the line is this this is dude, Matthew McConaughey is actually. You know what? Can we watch it? Let's just watch it. You want to watch it?

SPEAKER_08 54:47

I will be watching it because dude, I always just saw him sitting on the front of a Lincoln, and I was like, I do love Matthew McConaughey as an actor.

SPEAKER_05 54:54

Well, that's the Lincoln lawyer. That's the Lincoln Lawyer.

SPEAKER_08 54:57

I can think of the wrong thing. There's another one.

SPEAKER_05 54:59

Which is also a great movie. The Lincoln Lawyer is a great movie. But, anyways, so he tells him to do all that, closes her eyes and everything, and then and then he's standing there, and it's it's quiet. The scene's real real intense, real dark, real emotional. And he goes, Now picture she's what? And dude, it's sends chills down your spine. It's so good.

SPEAKER_07 55:20

It's a bar. It's a bar, so good.

SPEAKER_05 55:23

It's it's the ultimate, it's the ultimate reprise to any race-related argument you'll ever have in your life. It's great. So time to kill the Lincoln Lawyer, Matthew McConaughey. Fantastic actor.

SPEAKER_07 55:39

Fantastic writer, too. Everyone should go read his memoir.

SPEAKER_05 55:43

It's one of my faves.

SPEAKER_07 55:45

It's fantastic.

SPEAKER_05 55:47

Also, a crazy movie. That that movie is wild. Was that it's days and confused, right?

SPEAKER_06 55:54

Yeah. Dude, and you know what's crazy? You did.

SPEAKER_07 55:59

Is that line? One, I'm pretty sure was improvised, and two, he

McConaughey Movies And Reading Habits

SPEAKER_07 56:04

was supposed to have such a small part.

SPEAKER_08 56:06

Yes, I read that. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 56:08

That like he was like, this whole thing just set off my career, and it wasn't supposed to.

SPEAKER_05 56:13

Like it's a good one. But I mean, the line is that's what I love about high school girls. I keep getting older, they stay the same.

SPEAKER_06 56:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 56:24

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_06 56:26

Yeah, of course. That's not gosh.

SPEAKER_07 56:30

That's such a good book.

SPEAKER_05 56:32

You could never make Daised and Confused today. That movie would cancel everyone's careers that ever agreed to do that movie.

SPEAKER_07 56:42

I read his memoir in one day.

SPEAKER_05 56:45

Really?

unknown 56:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 56:47

Did it have pictures? Some, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 56:52

They were all klein ads. I was waiting for you to say no.

SPEAKER_07 56:59

No, there were pictures. There are pictures.

SPEAKER_05 57:01

It was just it was just all of him and Calvin Klein ads, where it's just him and his underwear.

SPEAKER_07 57:07

Yes.

SPEAKER_05 57:08

He's for his book cheeks in my concert. Taylor's reading it, and she goes, All right, all right, all right.

SPEAKER_07 57:16

While I'm working at the library behind the front desk. Hey, I'm not shaming you, girl. Do you think?

SPEAKER_05 57:24

No, I've never read a book.

SPEAKER_08 57:28

I'm waiting for the other part of that sentence.

SPEAKER_05 57:31

Nope.

SPEAKER_09 57:31

Nope, it's just that.

SPEAKER_05 57:33

There was gonna be another part, but it was funnier if I just left it at that. I've never read a book in a day. I've never read a book in a week. I've read books that have taken me like a couple months.

SPEAKER_08 57:45

Oh, I've read a book in a week.

SPEAKER_05 57:48

A week?

SPEAKER_08 57:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 57:49

I finished like three books last week.

SPEAKER_08 57:52

Like that's crazy. Now hope she's sitting over here playing Monster Hunter.

SPEAKER_05 57:56

Yeah, I know. I can hear her.

SPEAKER_08 57:57

That shit head. That shithead. She she reads so much. Really? Yeah, a lot of smut though. I like it.

SPEAKER_05 58:06

Yeah. She's giving me. I don't I don't read. I don't read guys. I'm not a reader.

SPEAKER_07 58:10

I'm more of a you should get into smut.

SPEAKER_05 58:13

I'm more just writing though.

SPEAKER_07 58:17

Just writing.

SPEAKER_05 58:20

I'm more I'm more of a watcher than I am a reader.

SPEAKER_07 58:23

Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.

SPEAKER_08 58:26

Oh, speaking of that, did your Batman costume come back from the track players?

SPEAKER_05 58:30

It has not yet. No, no. Not no no vengeance. No vengeance. For real, though, I think I might try and read Jurassic Park again.

SPEAKER_07 58:42

I'll read it with you. You want me to reread it with you?

SPEAKER_05 58:44

I was thinking about doing an audiobook because I don't think I'm gonna ever actually no, there's no shame, no shame in an audiobook.

SPEAKER_07 58:50

I I love an audiobook game. I love it.

SPEAKER_05 58:52

But you know what, though? Hand me a comic book, dude. I'll read it cover to cover in an evening.

SPEAKER_07 58:59

Yeah, you like a picture book? Right, Dr. Seuss. I bet Adam does the same thing.

SPEAKER_05 59:05

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

SPEAKER_07 59:07

Hungry, hungry caterpillar.

SPEAKER_05 59:08

Hey, hey. My comic books are big, dude. They're like thousand pages.

SPEAKER_06 59:15

Of pictures.

SPEAKER_05 59:17

Well, there's words too. They're just small words. Yeah, they're small words to capture the moment.

SPEAKER_07 59:23

One word per segment.

SPEAKER_05 59:26

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Sometimes there's entire paragraphs.

unknown 59:30

Five.

SPEAKER_05 59:31

Have you ever read a comic book?

SPEAKER_07 59:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 59:34

A manga, if you will.

SPEAKER_07 59:36

Yeah, I read Pokemon.

SPEAKER_05 59:39

Yeah, that's what I'm reading right now. Hey, oh, reel it in. I told Chris. I told Chris I listened to the last episode, and I was like, we should just retitle this podcast, the Pokemon Podcast, that sometimes talks about music. Because we literally talked about

Pokemon Tangent And Off-Limits Stories

SPEAKER_05 59:58

we literally talked about Pokemon for 40 minutes, dude. It was bad. That should have been pulled open.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:05

I got the sky. I got to the sky people, by the way.

SPEAKER_08 1:00:10

I went right back. I hated everything about that. It's 2026. Are you allowed to call them sky people now?

SPEAKER_07 1:00:15

I think so.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:15

That's better than what we call the ones in the desert.

SPEAKER_08 1:00:22

No awkward silence here.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:24

I'll probably cut that apart. He won't. I won't. You won't. Hey, if Star Wars can do it, so can I?

SPEAKER_07 1:00:34

But listen, that text you sent us, I showed the kid I work with, and he read it, and he goes, Yeah, like 7:30. I said that's when it's except when he goes, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:55

I I wanna I want to talk about that, but I can't. No, you know. But that has been our show, everybody. I don't know what else to uh to talk about other than unless we just want to yap. Again, I'm fine with just doing some yapping, but I fear I am a little sleepy.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:15

I I had an 11-hour work day. Um I'm tired.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:19

Did you hit 40 hours this week?

SPEAKER_07 1:01:21

No, I have 44 and a half in 11 of those hours of work today.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:27

I I have been wildly irritable recently.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:33

Same.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:34

Like Chris, I didn't tell you this, but I had when I was at the event today. Let's I'll tell you right after we close everything out.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:42

Yeah, I was gonna say, I I feel like we probably shouldn't air that out.
