Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I also have been working my butt off. Yeah, you know, it's the American life. It's it's how things go around here.

SPEAKER_07 1:40

Messed up.

SPEAKER_03 1:42

Um I recently played guitar, recently as in like yesterday. Picked up a guitar for the first time in like over a year. Oh it was good. I was I was feeling uh I was feeling some godsmack. Speaking of which wearing a Godsmack shirt. Um but recently Adam and I do this thing where we we call it hanging with dad. Um and then uh we do this thing where where we we call it headbanging music and then we headbang. And um we've been listening to like heavy metal music and and like hard rock. So Godsmack has been a focal point in my house recently. So I went and learned like four Godsmack songs yesterday.

SPEAKER_07 2:37

Sick, dude.

SPEAKER_03 2:38

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 2:40

That's super fun.

SPEAKER_03 2:41

It is, it is very fun. I I enjoyed it. Yeah, I'm thinking about starting a God Smack cover band. Okay, just just God Smack songs. Just God Smack? Just Godsmack. Are you sure you have a voice for that or oh no, I won't sing, I'm just gonna play guitar.

SPEAKER_07 2:58

Oh, perfect.

SPEAKER_03 2:59

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 3:00

Got it.

SPEAKER_03 3:02

Well, we what do you think it should be called? Serenity.

SPEAKER_07 3:08

I was gonna say gosh slap.

SPEAKER_03 3:12

Gosh slap, that's funny. Yeah, I started gosh slap, and then it would have been funny. What about uh uh what if we called it? Um I stand alone. I play alone, that's funny. But yeah, yeah, I did that. Played a little bit of uh collective soul, played some pearl jam, you know, all the classics.

Guitar Night And Godsmack Talk

SPEAKER_07 3:34

Yeah, classics. Do you have a godsmack tattoo? I do not. No. No, you have a pearl jam one, right?

SPEAKER_03 3:41

I have a pearl jam tattoo and I have a guitar. I would like to get a godsmack tattoo. I want to get one on my chest. I want to get one right here and have it, it's gonna be the sun, and then in the center of the sun is gonna be the Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon logo.

SPEAKER_07 3:57

That's pretty sick. I was talking to a person at my work the other day, and we were talking about music, and she was talking about how something something got brought up about Godsmack. She was like, Yeah, I had an ex-boyfriend who loved God Smack, and like he went to like a concert and everything. I was like, Oh, my brother's gone to multiple. He loves Godsmack. And then she was like, Yeah, does he have the tattoo? I was like, I don't think so. I said he I was like, He has a pearl jam one, but I'm he has a godsmack tattoo.

SPEAKER_03 4:30

What's funny is like you know exactly what tattoo she's talking about, and it's always a guy named Kyle, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_07 4:37

Like that's so funny, but yeah, no, I was like, I don't think so.

SPEAKER_03 4:42

Well, what's really funny about that is like it's it's such a common like the Godsmack logo isn't just the Godsmack logo, like it's a very common tribal like tattoo piece. It's been around for like ever for ages, ages and ages. I still think one of the funniest pictures I've ever seen is uh that one meme where it's uh where it's a picture of Godsmack and it says Godsmack is just nickelback with motorcycles.

SPEAKER_07 5:12

Yeah, it's so true though.

SPEAKER_03 5:14

Remember we used to play uh nickelback with blank? That used to be a game on this show.

SPEAKER_07 5:20

It used to be, then it got hard.

SPEAKER_03 5:23

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I started running out of ideas.

SPEAKER_07 5:26

Yeah, yeah, it's it's a hard game to play.

SPEAKER_03 5:29

That was fun though. Maybe maybe we play that when Chris hops on. Yeah, just do just do you know a quick round, do like five, ten of them.

SPEAKER_05 5:37

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 5:39

Six, seven. Um, did you like that picture I sent you this?

SPEAKER_07 5:44

It took me a minute because I I didn't see the numbers, I just saw the Pokemon, and they're so like a handful of my favorites. I was like, Oh, that's so cool. And then I saw the six, seven as they went.

SPEAKER_03 5:55

I I showed your message, I showed your message to Lindsay, and she was like, I hate the hands, the hand emojis that you do. I think it's so funny.

SPEAKER_07 6:04

We we had a person today who was like doing so. You remember after my knee surgery how I had to do heel slides, and like it's one of the most painful things after surgery. So we had someone who was doing that today, and they're counting, and they got to six. I mean, fully like almost in tears, trembling, shaking, like out of breath because it was painful, and then went to seven, and my PT and I both looked at each other and we went because nothing is serious when we're together, nothing serious in that that office isn't real, it's a fever dream, it's really not real. Ah, I'm trying to think if I have any life updates. I don't think so. I bought a tote, that's pretty cool. Um, mom and Aunt Schmori came down. That was pretty cool.

SPEAKER_03 6:54

Yeah, she she's in the other room right now. Oh, I know.

SPEAKER_07 6:57

She just got here a little bit ago. It's crazy that Walt loves you more than me because he came to see you. He didn't come to see me.

SPEAKER_03 7:04

Um hey, I got better snacks, bud.

SPEAKER_07 7:07

You got better snacks. Um, yeah, so that was pretty fun. We we hung out. That was a good time. All the in-laws met. Oh, do you want to see my earwax?

SPEAKER_03 7:18

Not really. What? Do you want to see my earwax? What a crazy sentence.

SPEAKER_07 7:25

I can't hear out of my ear hole. Yeah, but like, but I literally can't hear like it's a problem. Um anyways, so it was a good time.

SPEAKER_03 7:35

No, that's cool. That's cool.

SPEAKER_07 7:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 7:37

Uh so we recently put up a short clip where we talked about total drama rama.

SPEAKER_07 7:44

We was I a part of that.

SPEAKER_03 7:46

Yeah, you and me. It was just you and me.

SPEAKER_07 7:50

Just the two of us. I don't remember that.

SPEAKER_03 7:52

Where we talked about the the cartoon Total Drama Island.

SPEAKER_07 7:58

Oh, dude, yeah, that cartoon is wild.

SPEAKER_03 8:01

So listen, it got the most traction out of anything that we've ever done.

SPEAKER_07 8:06

That's what got the most traction.

SPEAKER_03 8:08

Well, you guys love uh you guys love to the to the point where I put a comment on to everybody that was talking in the comments, and I was like, guys, should we do more cartoon content? No, just like cartoon content and talk about like cartoons, and somebody responded and said, Absolutely not.

SPEAKER_07 8:30

That's so rude. Do you think the other thing is?

SPEAKER_03 8:32

I said, Okay, I'll just stick with uh I don't, I don't think they want to see that.

SPEAKER_07 8:36

Um, guys, let me know in the comments how bad it is for me to be cleaning my ears with I promise I never do this.

SPEAKER_03 8:43

I said it's cool. We'll just stick to the music, we won't do cartoons. No cartoons, but we got we got 25 comments on that.

SPEAKER_07 8:52

Whoa, we're famous. Not even so we were so we were all working today. It was me, a PT, another ES, and a PT. And the other ES said his name and said is going to go now, or his name is conflicted. I'm not gonna say his name on here because privacy, anyways. And I was like, I know that from somewhere, and in my head, I'm like, where is that from? Like the way he's talking. He goes, You ever have you ever watched Wee Bear Bears? Yes, sir. I have. I love that show.

SPEAKER_03 9:27

That show is so remember when we were obsessed with wearing it's a great show, it's a great show, fantastic.

Work Chaos And The Accidental Beer Sip

SPEAKER_07 9:34

No, and so he was talking like ice bear, and I think that's really funny. So because that's how we've been coping, because our week has been crazy. Did Lindsay show you my drink last night? No, yesterday was so bad it drove me to drink. Wow, I I never had a drink.

SPEAKER_03 9:49

She also drank yesterday, she had two.

SPEAKER_07 9:52

Well, the ES I was talking to two Bruces. The ES I was talking to today when I said something about or I was talking to my PT, and I was like, Yeah, I was like, yesterday drove me to drink. It was kind of wild. And then the ES chimed in, he goes, Oh my god, I also drank yesterday.

SPEAKER_03 10:07

So I I have a funny story about yesterday for you.

SPEAKER_07 10:11

Yeah, so we're out back, and uh I also went to outback, that's where I got my drink. Sorry.

SPEAKER_03 10:16

So no, we're out back my house, got it, and uh, we're hanging out, and I for I was doing something, I don't remember what I was doing, but Lindsay had her her brewski, and Adam likes to cheers, he likes to take his cup and cheers with mom, right? So he goes over and cheers with mom, and then mom, not my mom, Lindsay, sets down her brewski and picks up her phone. She's doing something on her phone, and Adam sets down his cup next to the brewski, and she's on her phone doing her thing, and Adam goes and grabs the beer and goes to take a drink. And I was like, yo, and she grabs it and freaks out, and she goes, Well, I didn't know he was gonna take a drink. I said, What did you think was gonna happen?

SPEAKER_07 11:03

That's exactly what's gonna happen. I remember the first time I tried alcohol.

SPEAKER_03 11:09

I think he might next, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 11:11

Uh, it was about the same thing. I went to take a last night, went to take a drink of mom's diet coke, thought it was just diet coke, and it wasn't yeah, it's nasty. You had a drunk baby, that's funny.

SPEAKER_03 11:26

No, no, it just barely touched his tongue. She freaked out. But that's so funny.

SPEAKER_07 11:34

You know, they used to put rum on on babies' gums when they were used to cheating.

SPEAKER_03 11:39

Still do. A lot of people still do. I don't. I we didn't.

SPEAKER_07 11:44

Yeah, I think it's it's wild. Well, and um people used to do that with vanilla, put vanilla on there, but then that I I don't know if vanilla has it doesn't have rum in it, but something about it causes, I don't know, some sort of issue.

SPEAKER_03 11:59

Hmm. Yeah, we we just went uh went the the politically correct route and did Tyle.

SPEAKER_07 12:07

I don't know. That's right, that's right, that's right.

SPEAKER_03 12:10

Uh I'm so mad that's why he can that's why he can name like 17 Pokemon or all the Pokemon.

SPEAKER_07 12:15

Um I'm really mad that mom just gave us a Tism and didn't put like a Nepo in front of it. Do you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_04 12:21

Nepois very often.

SPEAKER_07 12:25

Like, what do you mean? I have to go back to work. Do you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03 12:33

I didn't catch that nepotism.

SPEAKER_07 12:38

I I sent mom a message, this was a while ago, and it said it was a thing on Instagram, and it was talking about, oh, did you do that with your dad's money? And the comment was like, Don't ever disrespect my mom like that again. So I sent it to her because I thought it was funny. I said, I wish that you would have given me some nepotism, and she goes, I don't know what that is. Or no, I said, I wish you would have made me a nepot baby, and she goes, I don't know what that is. And I was like, What do you mean? Ah, anywho, are you ready for the big bunny? Bad bunny.

SPEAKER_03 13:09

Are you ready for the bad bunny? The big bad bunny, he comes to town tomorrow. And what's really funny is this episode doesn't come out for like another three and a half weeks.

SPEAKER_07 13:18

Oh guys, happy Easter. Whoops. Um, we had a whole long chat about what Good Friday was at our work.

SPEAKER_03 13:28

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 13:29

Apparently, my PT doesn't know what that is.

SPEAKER_03 13:32

I think it doesn't come out for that long. Let me check.

SPEAKER_07 13:35

Okay, that's fine. I'll tell you this story. Um, yeah, so we were at lunch and someone said something about Good Friday and my PT, he goes, What's that? And I was like, What do you mean? Because sometimes like I swear he's just rage baiting me. And I was like, What do you like? I thought he was pulling my leg. I was like, What do you mean? What is that? And he was like, I don't understand like what a good Friday is because this was on Thursday, and we were supposed to have a crazy Friday. And he goes, Nothing good is happening tomorrow. He was like, Tomorrow's actually a bad Friday.

SPEAKER_04 14:02

I was like, No, no, no, no, my God.

SPEAKER_07 14:04

No, I was like, Good Friday is like a real thing. So then another PT comes in. He's still talking about Good Friday. So his other PT goes, do you really not? And this PT, like it goes, this PT and then my PT, right? Like this PT's big boss. And he was like, What do you mean about Good Friday? He said, Do you not know what Good Friday is? To which this PT then looks at my PT and goes, you know, you might be the stupidest smart person I've ever met. Had no idea, no idea what Good Friday was.

SPEAKER_03 14:33

No, I was uh sorry, sorry, sorry. Okay, I was wrong. This episode comes out next week, so this will come out the week after Easter.

SPEAKER_07 14:44

Um, anyways, yeah, so we had a whole conversation about what Good Friday was. This is the same guy who didn't know what Groundhog Day was. So he uh he also asked me recently what day Easter was, and I said, Oh no.

SPEAKER_03 14:57

Did you say Sunday?

SPEAKER_07 14:59

Yeah, and then he was like, What do you mean by that? And like he didn't realize that it always is on a Sunday.

SPEAKER_03 15:06

It's just like Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday.

SPEAKER_07 15:09

It's always on a Thursday, and Christmas is always on the 25th. I just don't understand.

SPEAKER_03 15:16

Some people think holidays are hard, man.

SPEAKER_07 15:19

Like, I don't get it, it's just it's a calendar year, you know. Anywho, um, trying to think of anything else fun happened. I don't think so. We still have a puppy, she's kind of the worst, and then oh, she was she'd being cute today, she'd being all snuggly.

SPEAKER_03 15:37

Did you like that picture I sent you of Charlotte on the fake dog?

SPEAKER_07 15:41

Yeah, um, listen, whenever you read that Lindsay had it made, I read it as Lindsay made it, and I was like, no, she didn't. I was like, she told you that she lied. No, not that she couldn't, but where would where would she have found the time? Yeah, no, she had it made by a person by on Etsy.

SPEAKER_03 15:56

No, no, a person that she knows.

SPEAKER_07 15:59

Oh, she know and she got a giant bella, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 16:03

Yeah, that was her Christmas present from that.

SPEAKER_07 16:06

That's amazing. Um, does Bella like Giant Bella? No, I didn't think so.

SPEAKER_03 16:12

But but it's funny, it's funny because Charlotte wants to lay with Bella, that's like all she wants in life, yeah, and Bella will not let it happen. So Charlotte now has her own Bella.

SPEAKER_07 16:26

That's funny. That's weird.

SPEAKER_03 16:28

That's why that's why I texted you and said we told Charlotte we have Bella at home. You don't need Bella, we have Bella at home.

SPEAKER_07 16:36

We have Bella at home, dude.

SPEAKER_03 16:37

My nose is so itchy.

SPEAKER_07 16:39

Get it together, it's all that crack cocaine.

SPEAKER_03 16:41

Yeah, I know. I do a lot of crack cocaine, yeah. Clip that um I don't think I can put that on YouTube.

SPEAKER_07 16:49

What crack cocaine?

SPEAKER_03 16:51

Yeah, I think I think there's something about that. I don't think you're allowed to post about that.

SPEAKER_07 16:55

What about what if I just said crack and cocaine?

SPEAKER_03 16:58

I don't I don't know the stipulation. I think it's bad no matter what.

SPEAKER_07 17:02

How many times do I say crack cocaine before we get demonetized?

SPEAKER_03 17:06

I think the first time. No, you gotta have monetization in order to get demonetized, though.

SPEAKER_07 17:14

16 minutes in. I think it's only the first 10 minutes.

SPEAKER_03 17:17

I don't know, dude. I just know you gotta be making money for that to matter, and we ain't making a penny. Not a dumb no money, no money being made over here.

SPEAKER_07 17:26

That's okay.

my that's my cubs never mind never mind

SPEAKER_02 44:25

Um oh let's see hot takes. I don't know if I have hot takes. Taylor Swift is overrated. I mean, that's that's a pretty hot take. That opinion that would definitely get me killed in a dark alley.

SPEAKER_03 44:39

You know, though, I think this year or a birthday party. I think this year is the year that most people would agree with you. I think that last album was a bit of a flop.

SPEAKER_05 44:52

No, I do that album. What was it?

SPEAKER_03 44:54

Life of a showgirl. Yeah, I think that was a bit of a flop comparatively to her other albums, comparatively, like it was still one of the better albums that came out that year, yeah, compared to other artists, but comparing to her work uh easy Sabrina Carpenter. What was that song, or what was that uh that album called?

SPEAKER_07 45:19

Man's best friend, and it's so good. That that album blows you to the first, second, third floor, blows, it's so good.

SPEAKER_03 45:31

Uh um, so I mean I agree with Chris. I think that Taylor Swift is overrated.

SPEAKER_02 45:37

See, this might be a hotter take. I think she's always been overrated, even when she was doing back that. I can't back that.

SPEAKER_07 45:46

I can't well.

SPEAKER_02 45:47

I I mean I don't know Miss McKenna.

SPEAKER_07 45:49

If you're listening, I don't think Taylor Swift is overrated.

SPEAKER_02 45:52

I meant from day one. Day one.

SPEAKER_07 45:55

That's wild, Chris. That's ludicrous.

SPEAKER_02 46:00

It is what it is. Ludicris is a better artist, just saying.

SPEAKER_03 46:05

Taylor's had some some good funny moments today. She she caught me with uh she caught me earlier before you got on with um um what was it? You said mom gave us the tism. She left the nepo out of it. So now we have to go back to work on my oh somebody forgot my nepo with my tism, guys. Oh man. Uh the beatles are the most overrated band of all time. The the Beatles aren't even slightly in the top 50.

SPEAKER_02 46:47

But you know, listen, as big as the Beatles are, you know, I've got a very diverse group of acquaintances, and I don't know a single person who likes the Beatles.

SPEAKER_03 46:59

I don't know a single person who even somebody that says they like the Beatles, I think they could name like two or three decent songs.

SPEAKER_07 47:08

Like doesn't Lindsay's sister love the Beatles?

SPEAKER_03 47:11

Yes, the Beatles low-key suck.

SPEAKER_05 47:17

It's just always the same thing, it's all the same song.

SPEAKER_03 47:23

It's all I'm gonna Google something real quick. Blackbird in Blackbird number five.

SPEAKER_07 47:31

I just like Blackbird's pretty cool. I do like Blackbird.

SPEAKER_03 47:35

I like Blackbird. I like Here Comes the Sun. I like Hey Jude.

SPEAKER_05 47:40

Uh uh.

SPEAKER_03 47:41

I like Um Uh While My Guitar Gently Weeps. I like um what's that other song? The When I Find Myself in Times of Trouble, Mother Memory comes to me. That's close, that's really close. Leonard Skinnard is the Beatles for Rednecks. Also a hot take.

SPEAKER_07 48:11

Dude, I love Leonard Skinner, though.

SPEAKER_03 48:13

Leonard Skinnard is the Beatles for Mutton Chop Boys.

SPEAKER_01 48:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 48:19

Chris, the other day, Adam was feeding us on FaceTime. My mom and I.

SPEAKER_03 48:23

Let it be was the name of that song, by the way. Sorry, I'm Googling uh uh thing real quick.

SPEAKER_07 48:36

Uh uh Life finds a way. Do you guys want to see my fidget toy?

SPEAKER_02 48:41

Yes.

SPEAKER_07 48:43

Okay's neighbor made it for me.

SPEAKER_03 48:46

So not for me, but he just not my neighbor currently, my old neighbor. Old neighbor from the old house.

SPEAKER_07 48:51

I hope he's doing well.

SPEAKER_03 48:52

His name was also Chris.

SPEAKER_02 48:54

So the white the new neighbor gave you that to try to get you in the van.

SPEAKER_06 49:02

The old neighbor made them too.

SPEAKER_03 49:05

True. They both have vans. Um, so the white album, the Beatles White Album, has 30 songs on it. 30 tracks.

SPEAKER_06 49:15

Of what? Just noise.

SPEAKER_03 49:18

Came out in 1968. So my thing is when you're pumping out albums like that, it's impossible for you to not have at least two or three tracks that get radio play. There were what seven bands of that time, you know.

SPEAKER_02 49:38

It's it's the old saying, you know, if you throw enough shit at the wall, eventually something's gonna stick.

SPEAKER_03 49:45

So that's my take. Is the Beatles not that good? Not that good. Uh yes, Taylor.

SPEAKER_07 49:51

Do you want my hot take?

SPEAKER_03 49:53

Sure, I'm ready.

SPEAKER_07 49:54

Trap music is kind of fun.

SPEAKER_02 49:57

It is a hot take. I mean, I yeah.

SPEAKER_03 50:01

Is is is trap the same as mumble rap? Or those two different things? They're the same.

SPEAKER_07 50:08

No, I I think it's the same. I think of trap as like um like a SoundCloud rapper. But a song popped up on my Spotify, and Dylan and I were just bumping and jamming.

SPEAKER_04 50:19

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_07 50:20

It's a good like just listen. Do you know what I mean? Like nice and easy, get the vibes going.

SPEAKER_03 50:27

Here's here's a hot take that'll get Chris going. Every country song, every single one involves four main core points, and they're all exactly the same.

SPEAKER_07 50:44

They are all written beers, girls, trucks, and dogs.

SPEAKER_03 50:47

They're all written the big old hillbilly rednecks. You hear you all of the rednecks in the world hear hear a little whistle in their ear, a little tingle. Anytime somebody brings up beer, the Lord, trucks, and dogs.

SPEAKER_02 51:03

Wait a second, that's almost every genre has a short list of go-to. I agree. The same can be said for anything. You must be talking about smaller than the country list.

SPEAKER_03 51:15

It's like country music.

SPEAKER_02 51:17

I love gangster app too. I like it all.

SPEAKER_03 51:20

I'm just talking about country music.

SPEAKER_02 51:23

Oh, yeah, you know, it's not pushing no buttons.

SPEAKER_03 51:25

Gotta have my beer and drink my truck.

unknown 51:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 51:37

You just said that any or you've said in previous episodes that anybody could do country music, but you can suck at it. Anybody.

SPEAKER_03 51:45

No, no, no, no. I'm making fun of it.

SPEAKER_07 51:47

You have a country. He's pretty good at it, unfortunately. I think it's the redneck.

SPEAKER_03 51:56

Yeah, I if you can if you can pretend to have any sort of southern dipshit accent, you can do country music. Chris, try it right now. I'm telling you, you will be 50% better than anybody else.

SPEAKER_02 52:13

And with the overalls, love sick and drifted. What do you mean, dude? You're nailing it. I dude, I don't I don't know. By the way, that's Hank Williams III. You just proved the point. I don't think my country accents. Nailed that, dude. Look, the only country part about me is when I say y'all.

SPEAKER_03 52:38

Um let's see. What what's like a what's like a uh trying to think of a uh country song that's like really simple? Yes, Taylor.

SPEAKER_02 52:49

Country road no that's not that's an anthem. What do you think? What's the one by Blake Shelton? Blake Shelton tearing down a dirt road, yeah, uh repair. Oh no, no, no.

SPEAKER_05 53:02

I don't know that one road play back, rolling like a little teddy.

SPEAKER_03 53:08

Hush, it's just faith driving down the interstate, running 30 minutes late, singing on my own. Some foreign car driving through with a road rage attitude, hold up aside me talking on a cell phone.

SPEAKER_07 53:28

Easy, clip that that's how we get demonetized. Forget my crap cocaine.

SPEAKER_03 53:37

Country music is the most basic shit out there.

SPEAKER_07 53:40

Oh, and we're basic, and that's okay.

SPEAKER_03 53:44

Here, here's here's my big, big like point to send this home. How many artists go from country music to rap, hip-hop, pop, RB, rock, metal?

SPEAKER_05 54:02

Can we name I only know if you can we name any?

SPEAKER_02 54:04

I don't know. Now, wait a second. Okay, I will give you Taylor Swift is an exception. No, listen, listen, listen.

SPEAKER_03 54:14

That's if you consider the the work she put out to be country, which I don't personally, I don't, yeah, it was it was it was pop even then with like a southern twang with a southern well, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 54:27

She grew up in what tennis, Tennessee.

SPEAKER_02 54:29

Who the hell Pennsylvania Harley, you're the only Tennessee, buddy.

SPEAKER_05 54:35

Oh day, they're so in love. I love it.

SPEAKER_03 54:39

Um so that's my point. How many artists from other genres failed at those genres and then went into country music and dominated? So many. Here's a list Beyonce, jelly roll, post Malone, kid fucking rock.

SPEAKER_02 55:01

Yeah, but even kid rock stuff is rock, it's not kid rock.

SPEAKER_03 55:06

Went from Bawa to Ba to bang to bang diggy to singing about Jesus.

SPEAKER_07 55:11

You know what's crazy?

SPEAKER_03 55:13

People can find Jesus.

unknown 55:15

You know what's crazy?

SPEAKER_03 55:16

He did a song with Cheryl Crow and was like, Oh, dude, I can make so much money as a country artist. Hey, everyone's Cheryl Crow. Cheryl Crow is also an artist that went from like 90s alternative to straight up country music, Celine Dion. Yes, Taylor.

SPEAKER_07 55:37

Do you know what's crazy?

SPEAKER_03 55:38

Oh, I'm ready.

SPEAKER_07 55:41

Everyone was all mad and in an uproar about Bad Bunny, okay? At the halftime show. Remember that? That he didn't speak English, blah blah blah blah blah. The alternative kid rock song literally is bada-da bada bang the bang diggy diggy. What does that mean?

SPEAKER_02 55:56

Oh, yes. Well, of course, Taylor. You're not white written up to know. I know, and I can't tell you because you're not in the club.

SPEAKER_07 56:04

Got it. Sorry.

SPEAKER_03 56:09

Nelly also went country and dominated for two years.

SPEAKER_07 56:13

I didn't know. I also didn't went country.

SPEAKER_03 56:16

I love Nelly. Yes. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 56:19

Canadian country, but it's still country.

SPEAKER_06 56:21

Nelly. Um country grammar.

SPEAKER_02 56:28

That's like Southern Bulls. That's just the name of the song.

SPEAKER_07 56:31

Was Jelly Bull not always country?

SPEAKER_03 56:34

No, he was a rap artist. He was a rap artist, and then he turned slightly um like rock and roll, and then just dove into country.

SPEAKER_07 56:44

Do you remember when you went to a concert and he was an opener for a concert? Yeah, like I went to the it was Shinedown.

SPEAKER_03 56:51

We talked about it on this show.

SPEAKER_07 56:53

Yeah, like this guy came out with tattoos, yes, and like I saw Jelly Roll.

SPEAKER_03 56:58

The it was four days after he got out of prison. It was his first show. It was his first show outside of prison. He came on with Shinedown, and I was like, this dude Jelly Roll came out, talked a lot of shit about jail, and then everyone just left the Shinedown concert. Like, like 50% of the audience got up and just left, which was crazy.

SPEAKER_02 57:25

Or did he just suck that bad?

SPEAKER_03 57:27

No, I think they just came to see him. Oh I think it was like they came to see him. All of his cousins, all of his cousins. No, I think they came to see him because like he had this big reputation that I didn't know about. And uh yeah, he came, he did his thing, and then he left, and then half the audience left, and then he came back out with Shinedown and did Simple Man.

SPEAKER_06 57:52

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_03 57:53

Yeah, it was a good show, though. Shinedown put on a great show, dude.

SPEAKER_07 57:56

I love Shinedown, dude.

SPEAKER_03 57:59

Anyways, who else has got a who else has got a hot dog, hot, hot dog, hot take?

SPEAKER_05 58:22

SPEAKER_03 58:23

Yeah, they started sending him and the band Mountain Dew products because they did a video of them trying Mountain Dew products that had came out. So then Mountain Dew reached out and they're like, Hey, we want to send you guys a care package. So they just sent them like all of this Mountain Dew stuff, dude. That is awesome. It's incredible.

Pop Star Drama And Changing Opinions

Yeah, there was an onion article that came out that said that she kidnapped the fan, and uh it was making fun of something else that had happened, anyways.

SPEAKER_07 59:45

Yeah, yeah. Um, no, okay, so it's not I don't necessarily hate her music. I'm not the biggest fan. I don't love her voice. I love Pink Pony Club and Hot To Go. I think they're bops. Do you know anything?

SPEAKER_03 59:58

Those are the only two I know. That's that's my entire experience.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:02

I don't love her. I don't love her as a person. I think she's kind of awful. Fair enough. So that's my hot take. Oh, I have another hot take that I would like to go back on. Do you remember when I like I wasn't necessarily dissing Olivia Rodrigo, but I was like, I don't understand why she's so famous because she sounds like everybody else, you know what I mean? And I do still I still stand by that. I do think that like and it's fine, it's not that she has a good voice, it's not that. But I've been listening to more of her songs, and I do get the hype. I do get it now. I still think that she really I still think that she sounds average, but I like the songs. Do you know what I mean? I mean, you can say that about any pop artist though. Do you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03 1:00:49

Yeah, I I do like yeah Olivia Rodrigo.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:54

And I also I do also think that she has gotten better. I think that too.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:59

Has she put anything out since Bratt?

SPEAKER_07 1:01:04

Um, that was Charlie XDX.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:06

Oh. Well, guess what? They both sound the same.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:11

No, that's what I'm saying. Like it, like it always, you know what I mean? Like so many sound the same.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:16

All the same. They're all just doing bad Billy Eilish impressions.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:20

And and you know, it's okay. How do I get out of here? What did I just do? Um trying to think if I have any more.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:32

Are those beans?

SPEAKER_07 1:01:35

Perfect! I have a tipo copia. Those those that's squash or nothing. That is squash.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:42

Um, that's the most perfect. You're also muted there, buddy. Sorry, my bad. I was like, is this your card? Sorry, my bad. That's so funny that they're in the open that matches your your outfit. Of course, your overalls have seeds in them. Who they come with the overalls.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:02

That is true. It's it's a package, it's like something that I got in Animal Crossing.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:08

I also got a 357 revolver with these, so that's pretty sweet.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:12

Oh, I I assumed that you wanted to buy a cow, and they're like, we can't sell you a cow unless you buy the overalls.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:18

You have to buy the overalls, and the cow comes with, sir.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:22

You can have the cow for free. You have to buy the overalls.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:25

You have to buy the overalls.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:27

I suppose.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:28

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:30

You're just a farmer for fashion. You're just like, I didn't want to be a farmer, I just wanted the look, but I got this cow now.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:39

Oh I don't I don't know if I have any more hot takes. That's that's that's pretty that's pretty much it.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:45

No, I think all of my hot takes have definitely been discussed. Like, I don't have anything wild. Like I and I stand by what I say.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:55

That's fair. That's fair.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:56

Honestly, one thing about me is I will stand on business with my hot takes because I made a comment a couple weeks ago about not liking nirvana because nirvana came on and I got chewed out by somebody.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:06

You did? I don't I don't like nirvana. Who chewed you out?

SPEAKER_07 1:03:11

I can't tell you it's confidential. Ah um, anyways.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:15

Um, I don't I don't know if this is a hot take, but I think the most underrated artist on the planet is Ryan Woods. Just saying. I knew it was coming. I knew it was coming. Just saying.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:29

You know, I don't think that's a hot take. We love Ryan.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:32

So I don't I don't think he's got the notoriety that he deserves.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:38

I agree. I agree. I agree 100%. I agree.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:42

Ryan Woods, Ryan Cabrera.

Concert Drinking And Pit Etiquette

SPEAKER_03 1:03:44

Here's a a concert, a concert hot take for you. I think that if you go to a concert with the intent of drinking, you're a terrible person.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:58

What? Yes, if you go that's not that's not true. Look when you say drinking, do you mean having like a beverage?

SPEAKER_03 1:04:06

No, no, no, no. I mean like you're going with the intent of like I'm going like there's music there, but I'm going for the alcohol. The intent is the alcohol, the music just happens to be a plus.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:20

That's a very expensive outing to get.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:23

Yeah, that's really that's do you know how many? Almost everybody. I don't know. Almost everybody, maybe a festival.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:31

Do you know what I mean? Like that again, it's like rock on the range, or like that's coaching.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:35

That's what's so confusing to me. That's what's so confusing to me is because I pay for these tickets, so like I know how much these people are paying for these tickets. So, like they're going$75 plus a pop, right? Oh, these are$13 drinks, and then$13 drinks, right? So you're in there and you're getting obliterated.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:56

That's kind of wild.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:57

I I witness so many people go in there and they'll bring like five beers to and I I only sorry, I I don't know if this makes me like bougie or or better than anybody, and I don't mean it this way, but like I only get pit tickets. I'm standing, I'm not, I'm not going for seats. I'm going as close as I can possibly get, right? Yeah, so I do a lot of research and I go to venues that have reasonable pricing. So when I'm standing there and I'm seeing these people come with all of this alcohol and walk up to the front of the stage, and then they're just chugging them, just chugging them, and it's like you're not gonna remember this show at all. Your whole experience is oh, remember when I got shitty at Caether?

SPEAKER_06 1:05:48

Like, you don't know that they won't remember it because anytime I've ever been drunk, I have remembered. Do you know what I mean? If that's if you see drinking, Taylor.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:58

If you see these people, if they remember, he said it's because you suck at drinking. But if you're not if you see these people, you would be like, There's no way they're remembering this tomorrow. Like, if they do remember it, that is a different problem.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:13

Yeah, uh no, no. I mean, I know what you mean. So we went to the masugar concert, and uh mashugar, sorry, I said masugar. Um I went to mashugar. Dude, we've talked about R's. I went to Mashugar with my Mashugar. It comes with the overalls, Taylor.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:32

That R.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:34

When you're wearing the overalls, and all I'm saying is, all I'm saying is, but yeah, no, there were a lot of people that were like super fucked up. Yeah. It was funny watching them. It's like going to Walmart, you know. You're just like, I mean, I was wearing a rooster onesie. Um, so I'm sure people were laughing at me too, but I remember it. Like it was fun.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:56

It all just depends on your concert experience. Like, if you plan on sticking towards the back, it's probably not that big of a deal. But when you're obliterated and trying to force yourself to the front in front of me, who's trying to enjoy myself and listen to the music and just have a good time. I don't drink. I even when I was drinking, like like heavily drinking, I didn't drink at shows. That was I do not drink at shows. That was all you have. I'll have well, I it is because I want to enjoy the experience because like it's a very expensive experience. Yeah, I'll have a beer or two, but like if I even slightly feel a buzz, I'm done. I'm done. I'm switching to water.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:39

A DUI, do not drink and drive.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:42

Agreed. But like you you shouldn't you shouldn't do anything at a concert that you wouldn't that you would not do at a movie theater. It's the same experience.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:54

Um, they might be getting trash in a movie.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:56

Everybody, everybody, if anyone's listening and they do do these things at concerts. You're a terrible person, and I hate you do you just don't fuck up other people's experiences. Like we had guys in front of us hitting those like the weed vape pins, and it's like, holy fuck, dude.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:13

Like, really, yeah, inside care about the people around you.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:17

Like, you're a dick, you know. If you want to do that, go outside and come back in with a buzz. That's fine. Don't ruin other people's experiences because no, I I agree with that. Uh, if my wife would have caught an elbow, I would have broke someone's neck. Simple as that. Listen, the police are gonna be looking for a guy in a rooster onesie stripped out of that thing in two seconds. You would have got put on a t-shirt, and I wouldn't have cared. Don't it up for other people?

SPEAKER_07 1:08:45

I also think that we should start calling people out more. Yes, yeah, no, in public.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:52

The only problem is they've got guns, and I don't.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:55

Yeah, well, catch me.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:57

Taylor got them guns.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:00

No, I like I I am all for now like calling out rude people. If you're gonna be rude, do or do something in public, like I uh like I didn't I'm not gonna go into detail about this because I know I told you about it, but I didn't I didn't tell Chris. We had a lady in our waiting room the other day, and she was so nasty about someone who was I had to call her out because we're not doing that.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:25

Um, Taylor, don't you have to leave?

SPEAKER_07 1:09:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:29

Oh, okay. All right. Uh so um I'm hanging out, I'm doing hot takes.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:37

I'm I'm getting I'm getting angry about it. I'm in.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:39

I'm in.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:39

I'm getting angry about people being inconsiderate because nothing drives me up a wall than being inconsiderate in public.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:46

If you plan on being these ways, just stay to the back of the venue. Like, just don't don't interfere with the rest of us. Or like also, here's another big one. All of you people that keep crowd surfing to try and get you and your friends to the front of the show. We're not doing that to drop you, knowing that you're causing a distraction because when people crowd surf, you have to turn and and help and lift them, right? So now you're turned, and all of their friends come behind. I've witnessed this every show I've ever been to, they do this. It's the most annoying thing in the world, and again, I pay my money, I wait in line for hours and hours. Like you show up to the to the last second, get in the back of the area, and then force your way to the front. I hate it. I hate it.

SPEAKER_07 1:10:35

I feel the same way about plane tickets. I buy my specific seat that I want. Don't ask me to switch and get out of my seat if you're in it.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:44

I think venues. I think venues should have like if you get in line four hours ahead of a show, anyone that early should get a special ticket where you're like in your own blocked off section of the pit. Where it's like, okay, these 30 people showed up four hours early, put them in the front, build a barricade behind them. That is their area.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:09

That's their area. They're right.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:12

It's only fair. If I'm if I'm spending all day waiting to get into a show, and I've done this.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:18

But listen, listen, unfortunately, that's not how society works. No, it's not in America, it's about money. It's about money, it's about money wherever you go. It's about money wherever you go.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:30

I don't know, man. I feel like in Britain they'd be like, oh, sorry, love. My bed.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:36

No, it'd probably be more like it'd probably be more like I want to stand there. Step, step, step. Hey, I'll fucking wanna get out of my way.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:43

Just like you want to know something. I met a Canadian in real life. Actually, I've met two in the wild, in the wild, and they are the nicest people.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:54

They genuinely no, like ever been to West Virginia. That's because all of you guys are mean to them.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:02

I like truly incredible.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:05

No, when you look at them and you're like, you're a different white, I don't like you.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:09

They're gonna be mean. No, West Virginians are the nicest people.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:14

You smell like wait maple syrup. Get out of here.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:17

No, no, they are like they stand by it because honestly, I've never met someone like from Canada.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:24

Wait, did you say West Virginians are the nicest people? Yes, yo, you came from the the best part of West Virginia then.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:31

Well, yeah, his overalls don't have holes in them.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:34

They do the nice those part of West Virginia I know is who first ask questions later.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:42

This is true. No, truly, like we we have someone who's coming in and they're from Canada and they're teaching me French. Oh, don't ask. I bonjour, we we uh that's all of it.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:57

You now know all of it.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:59

That's it. Um, anyways, yeah. No, they're the nicest people. So I think if we had a concert in Canada, they'd be very polite. But I won't catch a crowd surfer. If you're gonna crowd surf near me, you're gonna fall.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:11

You're getting another hot hot take.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:14

I'm not putting my arms up.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:16

Another hot take uh on concerts. This goes for the bands. Fucking same drinking problem. Don't drink, don't get hammered. I if I'm paying paying to see you, no, and you're up there partying, dude.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:33

Fuck out of here, dude. No, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen. Only because I've experienced this. There was this tattoo artist I knew, right? Would do him out of his home. Sober sounds about right in the work, sober, meh, uh he'd put a fifth back. God damn, I would almost say Picasso, but Picasso. Yeah, there you go. He's very good.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:56

Is it crispy tattooed by our dad?

SPEAKER_03 1:14:00

No, no, no, no. No, dude, I'm telling you, I have seen way too many shitty musicians up on stage just partying, having a blast, and they mess up the music.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:14

And it's like, dude, I literally would go in and be like, I need a refund. But but how many it comes down to money?

SPEAKER_03 1:14:21

It comes down to money. It's about the amount that I'm paying. If the tickets were$20, I don't care. Like, I saw Kid Rock, had an incredible time. Thought that was one of the greatest shows I had ever seen. I saw Kid Rock and Um Um Bad Company and um who was the who was the other one? I forget. There was somebody else, but that was an incredible show, and Kid Rock was obliterated during that show. But again, I spent$20. Like at that point, it's like anything could have happened. I was having a great time.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:58

It's also like that's their profession. Do you know what I mean? Like, if a doctor shows up hammered, they're gonna get yes. That's my things that, like, even though, especially if you're with like a record label, like if you have a whole thing going, that should be in the closet. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:13

This isn't this isn't like your your downtown, like, this isn't a cover band in a bar. That's different.

SPEAKER_07 1:15:19

That's completely different.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:20

If you're I'm going to an amphitheater and spending$300 to see you perform, yeah, your ass better perform and it better sound like the record.

SPEAKER_07 1:15:29

And you, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:29

Hear me out. How many great performances have you seen where the artist was under the influence of something?

SPEAKER_03 1:15:37

You maybe I don't know. I was gonna say, I don't know. Exactly. That's different. That is true, but I I've seen I've seen so Kid Rock put put on a great show, knew he was obliterated. Um, I Dirksn't he always Dirks Bentley, horrible, horrible live. Uh Luke Bryan, horrible. Uh Kelly Pickler, horrible. Um who else, who else, who else have I seen? Uh uh oh, um uh shit. Listen, Potty Evil was bad.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:13

Motley Crue live in concert. I guarantee they were shit faced, and it was oh yeah, awesome.

Ticket Prices And Ticketmaster Anger

SPEAKER_03 1:16:22

Oh yeah, I think the issue is when it when it alters I think we talked about Caesar show where like they just they they weren't on it, like yeah, yeah. Yeah, it just depends, man. It depends on the money, it really does. Like, yeah, they need to they need to figure out the pricing. You know what? Another hot take to the record labels and the and the ticket vendors, figure out this pricing issue because this is outrageous.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:50

It seems like every every concert we've looked at is like, well, fuck, looks like I'm taking out a small loan. Yes, dude.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:57

I that's why I haven't seen any. This is the first year that I haven't seen a single show because it's like yeah, I can't afford it.

SPEAKER_07 1:17:05

Even for like I love Sabrina Carpenter, I want to go see Sabrina Carpenter, and I knew that I'd be paying like 250, 300, right?

SPEAKER_03 1:17:12

Lawn seats are 200. 200, dude.

SPEAKER_07 1:17:16

I know, and it makes me so mad. So now the only people who can go see them are rich or influencers because they're being invited. I'm like, so so the normal people can go see.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:27

Right, it's outrageous, it's absolutely outrageous. So, yeah, figure it out. Like figure it out. I on I understand being in business, I understand like supply and demand, right? But the supply and demand of concert tickets hasn't changed. No, so where is the price increase coming from? I'm gonna say there's nothing nothing has changed. The quality hasn't changed, they're the same bands that I've seen for the last 20 years. Do you know how many times I've seen God Smack? Like that's that's my issue is like the quality of the performances aren't changing, the performances themselves aren't changing, the performers aren't changing. So why am I paying triple what I did two years ago? Anyways. Uh yes, Chris.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:21

Uh, I believe Taylor has a question.

SPEAKER_03 1:18:23

Uh uh, yes, Taylor.

SPEAKER_07 1:18:25

Um, I'm gonna say my hot take. Now, and and I could be wrong because I'm not an advocate concert goer. Um I don't know if we had these problems before the Airstore.

SPEAKER_03 1:18:38

We didn't. You're 100% right. We didn't. No, it's Tickle Man, it's Ticketmaster. It's Ticketmaster and Live Nation.

SPEAKER_07 1:18:46

She could. Yeah, yeah. She she changed her whole thing of like, you know what I mean, trying to get them as cheap as she could for her fans.

SPEAKER_03 1:18:53

No, it's Ticketmaster and Live Nation that's the problem.

SPEAKER_07 1:18:56

They saw what they could do and they saw how badly the people wanted it, and now that's just what they're doing for everybody.

Goodbyes And Closing Love

SPEAKER_02 1:19:01

You know what I think the problem is. And I don't think the problem is real. So okay, guys. Hey guys, I gotta go.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:09

All right, all right. Kitty's been real, everybody. Making a lot of noise. Yeah, Taylor's gotta go. Chris has to go. It's been awesome. Thanks for hanging out with us. Peace.
