The volume’s up and the lane’s wide open: Like Ghosts return with a sound that folds bright synths into crunching guitars and somehow makes heartbreak feel like a victory lap. We sit down to map the jump from viral covers to original anthems, unpack why Wish You The Best leans further into pop and EDM without losing its punch, and trace the throughline that connects Better Now to the band’s next chapter.

On tour, the new cuts didn’t just work—they ignited the room. The band shares how live crowds validated the shift, why Better Now closes like a “win,” and where Like I Do lands as the EP’s heartbeat with harder rock hits and bigger electronic payoffs. We get candid about lyrics too: still emo at the core, but sharpened with pop phrasing and real-life detail that sets scenes you can feel. If you’re craving modern pop punk with festival-ready sheen, this conversation sketches the blueprint.

We also zoom out: how strategic covers turned casual clicks into committed fans, why summer 2009 energy can live in 2025 production, and what it’s really like navigating a label-backed tour from a sprinter van. Expect nostalgia, Digimon soundtrack love, Power Rangers trivia, and a refreshingly honest look at a band evolving in public—on purpose. Tap play for a story-driven deep dive into pop punk revival, EDM-rock crossover, and the EP that ties it all together.

Welcome back to the Hook and Bridge podcast.

00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:38.479
I am your host, Harley, joined by my co-host and little sister, Chris.

00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:44.960
And for a round two, guys, we've got like ghosts on the show again.

00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:46.719
What is that, everybody?

00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:49.119
We got Noel, we got Gage, we got Tyler.

00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:50.240
How's it going, man?

00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:51.280
It's going good.

00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:54.079
You're the first one to have us on twice, the first podcast.

00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:55.200
So no shit.

00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:56.799
Hell yeah.

00:00:57.439 --> 00:00:58.799
You're you're the first one.

00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:02.399
I just told Noel, um, you're the first one in the new studio.

00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:03.679
We just moved.

00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.879
Um, so you're the first interview in the new studio, man.

00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:08.400
Well, we're happy to be here.

00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:12.560
And I also like that you wore your uh Green Ranger uh costume, Chris.

00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:16.159
That's a throwback to the conversation that has happened.

00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:23.120
Dude, your guys' interview that we did last time was so fun, and honestly, the fans loved it.

00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:29.280
It might be like one of the favorite episodes of our entire show, hands down.

00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:34.640
Um, you guys also have created a handful of super fans from our show.

00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:36.719
Uh, specifically Chris.

00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:41.040
Chris is a super fan if I've ever seen one.

00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:42.959
Yeah, I won't shut up.

00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:46.319
So well, no, please tell us how great we are.

00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:50.400
I've had it, I've had it, man.

00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:52.480
I I I've been waiting for this moment.

00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:53.760
I'm so excited.

00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:59.280
Oh, dude, guys, like it's yeah, I don't I don't even know what to say.

00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:02.799
I think I own every song you guys have on Apple Podcast.

00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:03.599
I think.

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:04.480
No way.

00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:08.319
If I'm missing one, like tell me.

00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:09.520
I appreciate it.

00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:10.800
I was joking about that, though.

00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:14.400
You don't have to tell us how good, bro.

00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:18.000
I need somebody that's not my mom to also be also being allowed.

00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:22.240
All the listeners are gonna be like, Man, I kind of like this band, but they seem got douchebags.

00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:26.000
No, couldn't could be further from the truth, man.

00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:27.120
You guys are awesome.

00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.000
Um, no, you your music's obviously incredible.

00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:31.520
We went over that a little bit last time.

00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:33.840
We're gonna dive more into that this time.

00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.879
Um, because last last show was more of a get to know you guys.

00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.120
This show is gonna be a little more in-depth.

00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:43.439
Um, but I know Chris has some specific questions on a few songs.

00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.319
Uh, we're here to celebrate Wish You the Best, though.

00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:49.360
Let's talk about let's talk about that for a minute.

00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:55.280
Um, what a sonic shift, literally from the last time.

00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:58.879
Like Wish You the Best is so different than better now.

00:02:59.199 --> 00:02:59.520
Really?

00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:00.319
You think so?

00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:00.960
Wow.

00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:02.080
Yeah, yeah.

00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:15.520
I feel like yeah, I feel like you leaned far more into the pop than than the last time, and I thought the last one was really pop heavy, but this one is far more of the electronic side.

00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:16.719
Nice, yeah.

00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:21.759
Well, I mean, I I pretty yeah, I mean, I produced those songs uh together, but that's cool to hear that.

00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.560
This is what I'm going for, so I'm guessing getting closer.

00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:33.360
Now, the um guitar though, Noelle, fucking brutal in that song, man.

00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:34.960
You kill it in that one.

00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:36.080
Well, thank you.

00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:52.719
A lot of that, well, a lot of that writing does come from from from Gage, and so a lot of stuff just kind of gets sometimes maybe maybe ad-libbed or switched alive, but mainly for studio stuff, it's a lot of what gage has in the dome, and then he just lets it rip on the session.

00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:56.479
And we do fine-tune and oh, dude, let's do this, that, and there.

00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:02.080
And then Andrew also puts his spice in there as well with some lead lines and like measures of of things.

00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:07.840
But overall, I would I would agree with you though that it is more of a shift from even from better now.

00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:18.720
I think it's that bridge song that connects the old stuff to the new stuff where yeah, that one sits in the pocket where it could it could grab both, and then wish you the best is more of that.

00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:23.040
Um, this is what it's kind of gonna be like for a little bit, right?

00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:24.000
Right.

00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:31.199
Um, how are we how are we enjoying uh the reactions to the two songs comparatively?

00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:34.160
Um people seem to love it.

00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:41.920
I mean, we have pushed harder on these two songs than I think we've ever pushed in the other songs, but it seems to be working and people seem to uh to enjoy it.

00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:47.920
I will say I I think I can speak for everybody when I say that like those songs are like kind of a high point in our set.

00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:54.560
We just got off sword, so like that was like those the new songs are like there's a lot of energy there, and I think it goes off really well.

00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:57.360
What about you, Tyler?

00:04:57.519 --> 00:04:58.560
How do you how you feeling about it?

00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:01.360
So wish you the best for me, like legitimately.

00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:10.000
I mean, I feel like it fits in with better now, but it feels to me like a modern version of like a Forever the Sickest Kids song.

00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:15.519
If Forever the Sickest Kids is still like dropping albums, that's what it really feels like to me, and I love them.

00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.000
So when we're playing that live, I'm like running around.

00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:21.279
I think uh I think it was the stop in Atlanta.

00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:42.000
I was like, there was a drum riser for a drummer on tour that was like 10 feet above the ground, it was so high up that it was like I'm 6'4, and I'm telling you, his drums were sitting higher than my head up there, and I was running around the side, jumping up on his stage with him just to play that song because that song gets me hyped.

00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:43.759
That's awesome, man.

00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:47.600
Um, Noel, how's the reaction been for you?

00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:49.360
I like it a lot.

00:05:49.519 --> 00:06:03.519
The biggest tell for me um has been live because it's interesting to mix obviously the old songs with these newer songs because it is really two, it's like two different sounds, two different types of people, you know.

00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:31.279
And so for me, for them to like fit in well and get received well, even inside of the same set, um, that's like the big validation for me, where not that I didn't have any faith in them or like thought, you know, anything that they weren't gonna be like great, but uh for me, that's just the tell where if the same group of people that came to watch us because they heard the old stuff, but they like this stuff, is gonna be the probably the biggest part of validation for myself.

00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:32.879
So I like it, I dig it.

00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:39.600
I've gotten good uh at least for me visually, I've gotten good um uh reception to it all.

00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:45.680
So do you guys dive into reading um comments at all on your stuff?

00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:47.279
Yes, I read all the comments.

00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:48.800
Oh do you comments?

00:06:49.120 --> 00:07:00.079
Gage actively does read all the comments, he doesn't even know this, but I got like multiple YouTube accounts, and one of the ones back in the day, like I'll go on there and he'll reply to me, and he didn't even know he answered.

00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:01.920
He answered me on something.

00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:08.800
But like legitimately, I'll go check like after the fact, and Gage has actively read everything.

00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:12.079
Tyler's just making Brennick accounts to fuck with me, dude.

00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:12.560
Yeah, dude.

00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:15.439
This is how you gas like your singer, bro.

00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:20.560
Bro, I just logged into the YouTube and fucking Toaster Muncher left a comment four years ago.

00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:24.480
I'm gonna sucks.

00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:29.360
So if it first off, Gage, you gotta stop reading the comments.

00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:30.240
Number one.

00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:34.399
Number two, um, you're you're far too famous for that shit.

00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:45.839
Uh number two, um there, I don't remember what song it was, but somebody put a comment that said, I came for the covers and I stayed for the originals.

00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:49.519
Is that like the best reaction for you guys?

00:07:49.680 --> 00:08:03.439
Is like being known for so long as the guys that did this cover song or that cover song to have a fan base that came to see those types of things and then end up saying, Oh, I love their original stuff too.

00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:04.959
Yeah, I mean, yeah, absolutely.

00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:05.759
And that was the intention.

00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:08.000
I mean, all the covers are all just like marketing, right?

00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:11.439
Conversion to bring them in to the to the originals.

00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:15.360
So, I mean, people like that, that's exactly what we're we're trying to do.

00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:17.199
So, yeah, man.

00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:18.879
Well, the cover can work.

00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:26.959
Yeah, because you don't really want to be to where it's the other story where it's like, oh man, I wish their originals were better than the covers, or I wish I like their yeah, exactly.

00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:28.319
Yeah, no kidding.

00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:42.480
Do you feel like one of the greatest compliments that you guys could get is for um for somebody to say something along the lines of like, oh, their version of this song is what I know as the original?

00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:46.080
Like so great example, Nirvana's live album.

00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:55.120
Half of that album is covers, but for 15 years I thought it was their songs, didn't realize they were covers for a very long time.

00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:56.080
Yeah, exactly.

00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:58.240
With uh Man Who Sold the World, I didn't know that one.

00:08:58.799 --> 00:08:59.519
Right, right.

00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:10.799
Yeah, so like you you synonymize them with the original, yeah, you know, so it would that be like the biggest compliment for you guys for somebody to be like, Oh, I thought that was your song.

00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:12.799
Um, I mean, maybe.

00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:14.559
I mean, I think that just means that they heard it first.

00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:18.720
I've gotten that reaction a lot for ghosts by Justin Bieber.

00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:23.919
Um, that's the one where people are always like, Oh, I thought this was your song.

00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:30.960
Actually, what my kid, dude, he uh heard the Justin Bieber song like on the radio in the car, like during with his mom.

00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.840
And uh apparently he was super mad that like, why is he singing Gage's song?

00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:49.840
And yeah, and then uh uh I also had one where uh a buddy of mine uh he said he was shopping like in the grocery store and he heard it come on, uh, and he thought it was like a cover of our song.

00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:53.279
So that's awesome.

00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:56.720
Yeah, that that that Justin Bieber cover specifically has has gotten that.

00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:01.200
But I think that's just because a lot of like core kids don't listen to like Justin Bieber deep cuts, you know what I mean?

00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:04.399
I was gonna say, yeah, that's a deep cut Justin's Justin Bieber song.

00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:10.159
So like of course, you know that, but that's similarly, like nobody knew Man Who Sold the World, you know what I mean?

00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:18.320
Like I didn't know that was a David Bowie song, and I also love the David Bowie version, but like I think of Nirvana when I think of that song.

00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:28.879
Um, and and I think that's so cool to see like music be able to carry on a new life from artists who can bring a new version or a new image to it.

00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:34.320
Um what the all of this led into a different question.

00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:39.360
What is going to be the new cover song for this new sound?

00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:42.799
You guys are you gotta be cooking up something, right?

00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:49.360
We we're focused on originals um right now, just because we have so many to write.

00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:53.679
I mean, we got we have to finish the CP that's upcoming, there's more to come after that.

00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:56.480
So I mean, we've got a lot of original songs to write.

00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:02.320
Um I think if we were to just like choose one, it would probably be like another throwback cover.

00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:14.639
Um, or on the opposite end, if there was just some song that came out that was just on fire and like the biggest thing in the world right now, and we genuinely loved it, then we'd cover that too.

00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:23.120
But as far as like actively like cooking stuff up, I mean I've got tons of covers on my laptop right here, but it's nothing that's like we're seriously cooking up right now or anything.

00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:31.759
So love Gage, I'm so happy to hear that because I was one of those where it's like, oh dude, the covers are sweet, you know what I mean?

00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:40.399
My wife straight upset, just a panty dropper, and uh and and then I started deep diving and I was like, Oh my god, I love this song.

00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:40.879
Bye.

00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:42.480
Oh my god, I love this song, bye.

00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:44.480
Like, so what is the cover?

00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:45.840
What's this, Justin Bieber?

00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:46.960
I do not own this one.

00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:48.320
Uh Ghost.

00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:54.000
Um you probably do have it and think it's their song.

00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:55.759
Probably do.

00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:58.960
Yeah, that's uh sorry, sorry, Bieber.

00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:04.879
Um he's got enough money, dude.

00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:05.600
He's okay.

00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:10.559
So we're coming off a tour.

00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:12.320
How was the tour?

00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:21.679
Because you guys haven't been on tour in a little bit, and this one was a little more spread out than your last one, right?

00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:38.480
So how how was the new image of like ghosts being on a new label, um, transitioning into a new family dynamic with that label and just having kind of that backing behind you on this tour?

00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:40.559
How do you feel that went?

00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:54.080
It was like an entirely, it was almost it's almost like being a new band with um a couple old songs that we play, almost like but yeah, because we're everything's new.

00:12:54.159 --> 00:13:00.639
I mean, from from the songs to like you're saying, the label to the merch, a lot of these uh markets are the first time that we play these markets too.

00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:02.960
So it's like just from top to bottom.

00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:04.639
Uh it's like being a new band.

00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:06.559
So yeah.

00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:10.240
I will say, Peter promised me you're gonna be coming to Virginia.

00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:13.519
That was a promise made, so don't forget.

00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:14.960
I got you.

00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:15.519
I got you.

00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:16.639
We'll do one in person.

00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:19.440
Next band meeting, we'll get on on that.

00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:20.799
Okay, yeah, there you go.

00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:24.639
You don't he said, Don't worry, they're coming.

00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:26.720
I said, All right, because I'm gonna be there.

00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:30.879
Um, so I know we're cooking on this new EP.

00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:37.440
Can you give me a little insight to the next song we might expect to come out?

00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:46.159
So I think the next thing to come out is gonna be the EP, uh, not another song, but we do have one of the other three songs done.

00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:47.279
So one of those three songs.

00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:48.639
We were playing it live on tour.

00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:49.919
Uh, it's a song called Like I Do.

00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:51.840
I think it's my favorite on the record, to be honest.

00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:52.799
Um, I think so.

00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:54.159
I think that might be my favorite.

00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.399
But um, yeah, it's super cool.

00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:01.440
Uh the uh the rock parts rock harder, the EDM parts EDM harder.

00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:22.799
So, you know, so yeah, so it's like kind of one of those where if you thought better now was a cool blend of like this style and that style, um, and then if you thought that better now was more on this side, then now it's like if you were to combine Wishy the best and better now, and now this is right in now that pocket.

00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:33.200
So that is where I think we're landing on what sound we're going for, but it just could be because kind of we've all had a collective in insight on it.

00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:47.279
Um, it still comes from the same process where, like, you know, Gage writes and has the big chunk of that done, and then Andrew writes some licks on it, and then we all kind of oversee and have a community input on it towards the towards the tail end.

00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:59.679
But that song I'd say if like you were to literally blend those two because it's like because if you thought Wishy the Best was more synth and electronic, like I do, is a more like rock version of that.

00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:02.240
I'm loving the evolution, man.

00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:04.159
Like the evolution is so cool.

00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:10.399
I love the sound that you guys are developing, and I like that you're doing it within the album, you know what I mean?

00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:21.200
I like that that we're able to kind of like piece together what this new sound, this new image is gonna be and be able to see the next step of that in the future.

00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:24.879
Um, are you guys anticipating?

00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:26.960
Because I know you said you got a lot to write right now.

00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:28.320
Are you anticipating?

00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:32.559
I mean, you must be uh anticipating next steps after this EP.

00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:43.519
Yeah, um, after that, it's gonna be probably just honestly more touring and more pushing that EP until um it's time to drop the next one, and it just doesn't stop.

00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:47.120
But yeah, and then we're gonna yeah, and then we're gonna go back to metal.

00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:54.720
So no, we're actually uh I don't know, we're gonna do like Americana.

00:15:55.440 --> 00:16:04.159
Well, actually, we we do like really fuck heavy with country music, so that might be another you guys gonna go the post Malone route?

00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:07.039
I mean, like we well, we covered that song.

00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:11.759
We cut that was another yeah, so this is a deep cut here.

00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:15.919
Now that you like you said that it's not gonna happen, but this brought this just joggled my memory.

00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:24.960
But so I'm not a big fan of like bluegrass because that's like way another subgenre of country that's like I won't even really touch anything about it.

00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:34.639
But I found this YouTube channel that this band called the Beverlies, and they're a bluegrass band, and they did a cover uh Red Hot Chili Peppers by the way.

00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:45.840
Oh no shit, and that's and that today, like to date, has become now my favorite version of that song because it's so sick.

00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:50.240
So look up like by the way, bluegrass cover, the Beverlies.

00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:53.840
Like, look it up because it goes pretty hard.

00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:57.519
I gotta cue it up for after this.

00:16:57.600 --> 00:16:59.039
I'm definitely gonna listen to that.

00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:01.919
Dude, I love the chili pepper so much.

00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:06.960
It was a it was a sweet treat that I found just one day on YouTube.

00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:10.400
You guys ever mess with uh uh Richard Cheese?

00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:12.559
You ever listen to any of Richard Cheese's stuff?

00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:14.480
No, dude.

00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:18.480
So the the whole is this is this a dick joke?

00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:36.079
No, well, so his name is a joke, his name is Dick Cheese, but um he does uh like duo versions of of like rap songs, so like he does a duo version of WAP, and dude, it's one of the greatest things I've ever heard in my life.

00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:45.680
Like you it's like imagine like Nora Jones singing WAP, like it's it's that level of like jazz, like club music.

00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:47.359
I think I've seen a version of that.

00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:50.880
I don't know if it's the same guy, I'll look it up, but I actually have seen somebody that does it.

00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:52.640
Yeah, dude, for art so good.

00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:55.920
Of just pop, rock, whatever type of songs.

00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:57.440
Right, right, right.

00:17:58.160 --> 00:18:02.000
Um so we're anticipating next steps.

00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:03.839
We got this EP coming out.

00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:08.799
Um is there going to be some sort of a ballad element to this EP?

00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:15.279
Because so far you've put out some really heavy pop, like hard-hitting songs.

00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:17.839
Is there going to be like a softer track on the EP?

00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:23.119
I don't think on this one, unfortunately, not much to my dismay.

00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:25.039
Um maybe on the next one.

00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:25.680
I would like to.

00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:26.880
We actually have no ballads.

00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:32.559
We have like two acoustic versions of some of our older songs, but we have no ballads like in our entire discography.

00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:36.240
So um it would be something I it was designed that way.

00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:45.039
Like at some point, like I want to do a ballad, but um yeah, but we we already have like this CP completely like in the oven.

00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:47.200
It's not done, but it's in the oven, you know what I mean?

00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:50.160
And so, like, yeah, there's there's no ballads on it, unfortunately.

00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:59.920
Yeah, because like the song after that, I don't know if it's gonna be like the there's no more singles after after Wish You the Best, but like the fourth song, at least for me, the working title.

00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:07.039
Uh sorry y'all like the the working title colder, like that song's a bop.

00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:11.359
So like how Tyler was saying that like it's kind of like Wishy the Best is kind of F T S K.

00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:22.319
Like this one is like really like FTSK, like fucking blast your uh blast your radio with the windows down and you're fucking riding on a on a cool sunny day.

00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:24.720
That's summer 2009.

00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:25.599
Exactly.

00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:26.480
Oh, I like that.

00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:27.599
Oh, I like that.

00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:28.960
Summer oh nine.

00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:31.839
That's the that that's this feel, and I I love that song.

00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:37.279
Like, I can't wait for that one to come out because that one is gonna be my personal favorite whenever it drops.

00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:43.039
So do you feel that um you guys are kind of bringing back that type of sound?

00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:45.920
Yeah, I I I I think so.

00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:55.599
I think a lot of our stuff is very um I mean when when Noelle and I started, we were like all-time low, boys like girls, like that type of those type of bands, right?

00:19:55.839 --> 00:20:01.839
And I think we're we are kind of going back into that, but but also with and actually I literally just saw all time low the other day.

00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:04.720
It was sick, but uh it's neither here nor there.

00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:13.279
Um, but uh uh I'm trying to do that, like you know, with like I said, my Chain Smokers Elenium set aside influence and try to try to carve something unique.

00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:17.759
So you were talking about like developing the sound through the record and kind of finding it or whatever.

00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:28.000
Like, yeah, we are trying to like like you know, with the image and with the uh uh the sound and everything, we're we're trying to build something kind of unique, or as at least unique as we can.

00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:31.680
So yeah, I think you guys are doing a hell of a job too, honestly.

00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:36.480
Like, like the the hype on these last two songs truly has been incredible.

00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:40.799
And and shout out to Manicat too for doing such a great job promoting them too.

00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:57.599
Like, um, I really think that that that was a pivotal point in your career, and I think in the future, looking back when we're doing this again 10 years from now, like that's gonna be like a pivotal moment when we're sitting here and we're like, oh yeah, that that was the moment, you know.

00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:06.160
Um so I I really think that the rebrand and and just coming together and creating this new sound is so unique and so cool.

00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:14.240
Um, I also love that like your influences are bands that are kind of missing in the industry right now, you know?

00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:26.880
Like we're we're kind of moving past that era, and I think that with you guys bringing that sound back, it might even hit some of that nostalgia for those bands to be able to come back as well.

00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:28.079
I hope so.

00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:32.079
A lot of them are um doing like at least the reunion stuff though, which I'm stoked about.

00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:33.599
Yeah, yeah.

00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:41.440
I I think that um I think that the the what is it, we are young festival is like when when when yeah, when we were young.

00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:50.640
Yeah, that is like the moment where I saw Pop Punk coming back, and I dude, I want to see you guys back on Warp Tour.

00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:55.519
Like, no joke, I think that would be one of the coolest things to see next year.

00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:59.599
Yeah, I would love to uh to be on warp tour.

00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:07.440
I mean, we we've done it a few times um in the past, you know, like the old the old guard warp tour, but dude, I would definitely want to do like this new warp tour as well.

00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:08.000
That'd be safe.

00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:09.519
Dude, I want to do warp tour in general.

00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:10.960
I'm the only one who didn't get to do it.

00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:11.920
I wasn't in the bank.

00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:13.599
He's the only one who didn't get to do it.

00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:14.720
Yeah, sorry, Tyler.

00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:15.359
Sorry, bro.

00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:18.079
Hey, I also want to do warp tour, man.

00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:19.039
You're not alone.

00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:20.880
Well, but get on your comments.

00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:23.519
Yeah, we all need to do warp tour, man.

00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:37.279
Um, but no, dude, I think that would be such a cool moment to like be able to take that old moment of doing warp tour back in the day and then reflect on a new version of you guys at Warp Tour again.

00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:43.359
I think that would be such a cool thing to kind of showcase the changes that you guys have gone through.

00:22:43.599 --> 00:22:49.200
Um what has been your favorite song to play on this tour that you got off of?

00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:52.319
For me, it's better now.

00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:58.319
Um, that was the closer, and that one was like the most like locked in and in the pocket, I think.

00:22:58.559 --> 00:23:09.359
Um yeah, that one just every night was like it like when you're tired and it's like the end of the set, like that was like definitely like a lift, like for me, like every night.

00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:12.880
So when the set was done though, well, like the last one.

00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:16.240
When the workout's over.

00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:17.200
I know, right?

00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:19.759
Yeah, it's a good victory lap, is what I'm saying.

00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:26.079
Instead of something, you know, maybe I'm not as excited to play, then it's like, man, I just gotta get through this last one, you know.

00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:28.480
What about you, Tyler?

00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:30.319
What's been your favorite song on the tour?

00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:31.839
Definitely wish you the best.

00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:38.319
That song directly reminds me of a really old uh FTSK song called uh hip hop chick.

00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:47.279
And that was like I think I was like 16 and I owned a synthesizer for some reason, and I actually learned how to play that song on synth.

00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:51.440
It feels like I get to live out that same energy now that I'm an adult.

00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:52.799
That's pretty cool.

00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:54.000
That's pretty cool.

00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:55.920
Um, what about you, Noelle?

00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:57.839
Uh mine's been like I do.

00:23:57.920 --> 00:23:58.559
That's my favorite.

00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:00.960
He didn't even like that song we wrote it, dude.

00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:01.920
That's no, dude.

00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:02.799
That wasn't me.

00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:04.079
No, that wasn't me.

00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:08.079
No, actually, no, you're just that wasn't that email, Noel.

00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:14.079
No, the mix was off, and I had I was like, bro, you're killing me right now.

00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:17.279
But the to play it live, I dig it a lot.

00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:26.960
Uh, what I like about it is that there's a lot of room for engagement with playing it and being able to like jump around and actually like look at the crowd and stuff like that.

00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:40.880
Because a lot of times with the old songs, it was like you kind of had to focus and make sure that like something got nailed, and you know, you maybe weren't moving around so much just because it's like there's like four different parts in this one section that had to hit before something you know popped off.

00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:53.759
But um, with like I do, like it's a jam, and so that reflects, and that's been my favorite part about it because that was my kind of at least the goal for tour was to um actually start you know performing.

00:24:54.000 --> 00:25:02.000
And like I do really was like, okay, sick, it's like this, and I can do that, and I can do you know, so that's that that's why it's been my favorite.

00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:03.200
Hell yeah.

00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:11.599
Um, I'm gonna pass the mic over to Chris because he has some questions that uh I am very, very interested to hear your answers on.

00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:13.759
So all right, Chris, let's do it.

00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:19.680
Okay, first off, Gage, how's your mom doing?

00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:22.400
Where were we going to be?

00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:24.880
I can't believe you remembered that comment, dude.

00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:25.759
That's gonna haunt me.

00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:29.680
Our entire professional relationship, that's gonna haunt me, but uh, she's good, dude.

00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:30.079
She's good.

00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:30.799
Thanks for asking.

00:25:31.359 --> 00:25:32.160
I'm so sorry.

00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:34.400
She's a saint.

00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:46.559
Um hey, so with this new evolution, the um, I don't want to say new direction, um, but the way that things have changed, are you guys drawing off anything different?

00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:51.200
Um, whether it be you know past feelings, past experiences.

00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:55.119
Um have you pulled, you know what I mean?

00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:58.880
Like are you pulling from things that just just different?

00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:02.000
Like lyrically or sonically, or both?

00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:03.440
Lyrically.

00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:08.160
Lyrically, um, all our stuff is super just you know, emo and heartbreaky.

00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:09.279
It's all it always has been.

00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:10.960
I mean, that's just kind of the brand.

00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:15.119
But um I am doing a couple things, I think.

00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:20.799
Um, I'm trying to get a little more personal with it, uh, then rather than more like general.

00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:21.599
You know what I mean?

00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:24.079
Um I'm trying to draw from like my own experiences.

00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:29.519
I know Andrew's been, uh he's not here today, but our start player Andrew, uh, who is uh has been helping writing lyrics as well.

00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:37.200
Um he's got a lot of experiences that he's been drawing on too, that's been you know helping me kind of put words to to paper, if you will.

00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:47.599
Um, and then the other thing is I'm kind of trying to stylistically take from like pop lyrics, you really like, you know, like especially like in better now.

00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:57.119
I think when I talk about like you're hiding out at the bar downtown, like like I I can't think of, you know, because no one's around to feel better now, and like the drugs and alcohol A or whatever.

00:26:57.279 --> 00:27:07.519
You know, like there's a lot of lyrics in there that I don't think I can't really see a lot of other like pop punk bands like singing, you know what I mean?

00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:15.920
Um, so I'm trying to give it that kind of pop edge a little bit, um, which I think is kind of cool and unique stuff.

00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:16.480
Yeah.

00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:19.359
Oh I I I agree, yeah, dude.

00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:21.839
Yeah, um, so wish me the best.

00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:25.920
That is something that uh I didn't think was gonna be my cup of tea.

00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:30.000
Um me and I fucking loved it.

00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:33.119
Like, like, oh man, I loved it.

00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:44.960
Um I I I had this thing where uh I'll let I'll buy a song and then listen to it like 200 times in a row before listening to something else and then shortly going back to it.

00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:47.839
Between Better Now and Wish You the Best.

00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:51.759
Yeah, like yeah, it is my cup of tea.

00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:54.559
Um so thank you guys.

00:27:54.880 --> 00:27:55.440
Thank you.

00:27:55.599 --> 00:27:56.319
I appreciate that.

00:27:56.400 --> 00:27:57.359
That's a wonderful compliment.

00:27:57.440 --> 00:27:58.160
Thank you for listening.

00:27:58.480 --> 00:28:00.720
Dude, I do that all the time when I get songs.

00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:04.480
It's such a double-edged sword because it's like you like them so much more in the moment.

00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:11.839
Well, like you burn yourself out on them and then you hate them later, and like a year later you go back and hear the song and you just repeat the cycle.

00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:23.039
Yeah, I I I if if I find a song that's like really you know it for me, like I will play that it has to be like hundreds of times in a row.

00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:25.359
It has to be like you know, like that's all I listen to.

00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:30.559
What caught you about it where you didn't think it was gonna be your cup of tea and you ended up really liking it?

00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:36.880
I think I think it's the what do you call it?

00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:40.079
See, I'm not the music, I'm not the guy who breaks it all down.

00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:44.240
Um I'd have to say it's the instruments, the the way they're played, you know.

00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:47.440
I mean, uh what's what do you say the E um EDM?

00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:48.640
EDM.

00:28:50.079 --> 00:28:50.720
Yeah, yeah.

00:28:50.880 --> 00:28:54.160
Chris isn't Chris isn't much of like a electronic guy.

00:28:54.559 --> 00:28:56.240
No, I wasn't.

00:28:56.559 --> 00:28:57.440
Right, right.

00:28:58.319 --> 00:29:04.160
Uh yeah, like I grew up with Black Sabbath, Metallica, Beastie Boys, and Shania Twin.

00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:04.720
You know what I mean?

00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:06.960
Like that was that's what was played in our house.

00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:08.559
Let's go, girls.

00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:10.880
Yes.

00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:13.759
Uh I think that was my first crush.

00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:17.920
Yeah, Shania Twin was my first crush, yeah, definitely.

00:29:19.359 --> 00:29:21.279
But uh but yeah.

00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:24.400
What about uh your question about Iris?

00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:30.799
Oh, oh I I've gone to Harley like uh maybe a dozen times.

00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:39.119
So Iris Volume 2, yeah, which I ran across that before I ran across Iris, and it was Iris Volume 2 was like 2022, I think.

00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:40.079
Yeah, something like that.

00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:41.759
22 or 23.

00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:44.160
Yeah, yeah, because it was like right after the pandemic, yeah.

00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:44.960
Yeah.

00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:47.839
So so I have no idea who Kellen Quinn is, right?

00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:50.400
And I'm like, oh man, this chick rocked.

00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:56.720
I'm like, you're no, there's no way.

00:29:56.880 --> 00:29:57.359
Shut up.

00:29:57.839 --> 00:30:01.440
He's like trying to find a music video, and I'm like Maybe there's someone else in it.

00:30:01.599 --> 00:30:01.680
No.

00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:10.799
So the question, the question is, is Kellen Quinn in fact a biological male?

00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:11.759
Is the question.

00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:12.240
Oh, yeah.

00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:12.880
Yes.

00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:14.480
Kellen Quinn is a biological male.

00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:15.839
He's a very cool guy.

00:30:16.400 --> 00:30:22.160
Yeah, we didn't we didn't talk about it too much on the last one, but like how how fucking awesome was that experience, man?

00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:28.319
Like he's he's gotta be like up there for you guys as far as like um an idolization, right?

00:30:28.400 --> 00:30:32.400
Just based off of the kind of music that you guys uh all have said that you listen to.

00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:34.160
Yeah, for me a hundred percent.

00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:36.480
He's like one of my top, top like guys.

00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:48.400
He got me into, and it's funny because now we're going like poppier and stuff, but that you know, 10-year period or whatever I was doing like heavier music, um, it was because of sleeping with sirens and like Kelly Quinn and stuff.

00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:51.920
So that was a huge thing um for me.

00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:59.039
And then um we actually played a festival with him in 2020 what four, I want to say three, something like that.

00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:04.160
Uh yeah, and getting to hang out with him and and talk about the song in person and everything.

00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:06.799
Just a he's just a wonderful human being, super cool.

00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:08.000
So great experience.

00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:09.440
He's actually like super nice.

00:31:09.519 --> 00:31:17.680
I think he was the first like legitimately big, famous person that I've met that was just immediately nice, you know?

00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:24.799
Like, and I I don't like actively try to hold conversation or do anything like that because I'm a little bit of a shy kind of person.

00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:25.759
I just am.

00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:35.039
So when people have like status like that too, it's like an extra layer of okay, well, I'm not usually nervous, and now nervous plus shy equals don't talk.

00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:38.640
But nervous super welcoming.

00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:40.400
Like I didn't expect that.

00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:45.759
And then uh shortly after that, I met Ryan Cabrera, who was like Kellen times three when it comes to being crazy nice.

00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:51.759
Oh, dude, that guy is one of the nicest guys I've ever met in my entire life.

00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:55.440
Ryan Cabrera's he's so incredible.

00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:10.960
Um so the tour, I I have to ask what was like the crazy like, tell me the the back, the backstory, the behind the scenes, the craziness of this tour.

00:32:11.200 --> 00:32:15.279
What's like the one moment that sticks out after a show?

00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:21.599
Gade, were you awake when we were driving uh just down that mountain?

00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:22.880
I don't even know where the hell we were.

00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:23.839
Were you awake?

00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:26.319
Yeah, he was the one that'll be Cody.

00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:27.519
No, no, no.

00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:28.880
This Cody was driving.

00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:29.839
That was that was before that.

00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:41.519
Cody was driving when we were going down like a mountain, just no gas on brakes for like an hour straight, and Cody was like shitting his pants, like oh yeah.

00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:42.400
I mean, that's the other one.

00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:43.839
This is it.

00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:47.279
Yeah, that was like after uh was it Atlanta?

00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:50.240
No, it was uh going to Atlanta from Kentucky.

00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:56.799
That's what it was, and uh uh yeah, there it was just uh down a mountain, basically, right?

00:32:56.960 --> 00:33:05.680
And uh there were these 18 wheelers to going like past us, like and we were doing like a hundred, and they were just flying past us crazy stuff.

00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:12.559
They probably do those routes all the time, and it was foggy, and it was the middle of the night, and there were like curves and stuff on the road.

00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:15.759
Yeah, that was uh not for the faint of heart at all.

00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:18.960
So, was this a tour bus?

00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:20.400
Yeah, dude.

00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:22.640
We spent like 100 G's on it, it was awesome.

00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:24.480
No, I'm just kidding, bro.

00:33:26.160 --> 00:33:28.079
I'm thinking so it was amazing.

00:33:28.240 --> 00:33:32.640
So I was thinking it was oh, okay, okay, it was a Mercedes printer, yeah.

00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:37.519
This is this is something that Chris and I haven't really talked about much.

00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:46.319
Um so me being a musician, uh I I've been in those types of experiences before, but like just curious, Chris.

00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:54.880
In in your mindset, like when you see a band like being on tour, do you kind of assume like everybody's on a tour, like a bus or something?

00:33:55.119 --> 00:34:00.000
Well, so I've only seen, well, I guess yeah, I've only seen the tour buses.

00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:00.640
You know what I mean?

00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:03.200
Anyone else is just some guy driving by.

00:34:03.279 --> 00:34:05.759
I need to start flipping them off, give them something to talk about.

00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:19.679
So depending depending on the situation, most bands are in like like a box truck or like uh like a sprinter van, or you know, like you guys probably were traveling with all of your equipment in the back too, right?

00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:22.480
Yeah, we were in the sprinter and we had enough room.

00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:25.199
Uh we've made I've actually put a lot of time into that.

00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:30.239
We made the set uh the the other the uh the gear like as small as we can, yeah.

00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:35.519
Uh yeah, so I mean it was just everything in that in that sprinter van.

00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:41.440
Um and then yeah, some some bands will do like the bandwagon, which is like uh you know kind of a step up from that.

00:34:41.679 --> 00:34:45.199
Um and then I guess you got buses, which I hope we can do one day.

00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:46.320
Yeah, yeah.

00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:47.440
My guys will get there.

00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:55.039
My biggest my biggest uh accomplishment would be like have you guys ever seen the music video to Redneck from Lamb of God?

00:34:55.519 --> 00:35:11.039
Yes, and the first scene is the bus rolling up, and it's that under it's that low shot with he fucking whams the door open and the smoke comes out, and he's just like this dude coming out of the van, all like hard and shit, and he steps in the kiddie pool.

00:35:11.119 --> 00:35:15.760
It's like that would be my biggest accomplishment to step in a kiddie pool.

00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:16.559
I'm just playing.

00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:20.400
I would just like to sit on one of those buses.

00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:23.760
I don't even I don't even need to be on the tour, just let me come hang out.

00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:33.599
I've been on a tour bus before, but it was like uh because I used to shoot the Hano bands for like South by for South by Southwest, and I yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:35:33.760 --> 00:35:39.440
And I and I've been on a tour bus, not like driving, but like, oh yeah, dude, come on our bus, get some pictures and stuff like that.

00:35:39.679 --> 00:35:55.119
And they're pretty badass, but like enter if you dare, you know, like back back in the day when I was in a band that did some stuff, we went on a festival run in Columbus on a festival that's no longer around anymore.

00:35:55.360 --> 00:36:00.960
Um, but to get there, we drove the equipment like van.

00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:11.360
So it was just like me and three other guys, and then other bands' equipment in the van, and then our equipment was in another van, and it was like five vans, you know.

00:36:11.440 --> 00:36:16.559
It's just like, yeah, the tour buses are in front of us, they're doing their own thing.

00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:21.840
The us losers are in the back, you know, trying to include the women, yeah.

00:36:22.159 --> 00:36:23.360
But the trip was free.

00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:25.920
We just had to drive the vans, yeah.

00:36:26.159 --> 00:36:33.360
So um anywho, um, Chris, do you have any other questions, sir?

00:36:34.800 --> 00:36:37.119
Of course, now that you asked, I don't have them written down.

00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:41.280
No, I'm here to answer all your questions, man.

00:36:41.360 --> 00:36:42.320
Whatever you got.

00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:43.840
Oh.

00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:47.920
Well, I have a very fun game plan for us.

00:36:48.000 --> 00:36:50.800
So last time we did the get to know me session.

00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:55.599
This time we're talking real trivia guys.

00:36:55.840 --> 00:36:57.119
Oh, nice, okay.

00:36:57.360 --> 00:37:02.719
Okay, so we established in the last episode that we are the 90s group right here.

00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:03.920
We are the 90s kids.

00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:07.840
Um oh, sorry, one other question I wanted to ask.

00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:09.760
Uh so you guys are all family guys, right?

00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:13.599
You're Gage and Noelle, you guys are married kids?

00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:16.159
No, Gage does.

00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:26.159
Andrew also uh is a father, and then Tyler is a uh very loving dog father, and I have a girlfriend.

00:37:26.880 --> 00:37:30.239
Gage and Andrew are the only ones that have families per se.

00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:32.719
So, Gage, how old are you?

00:37:33.119 --> 00:37:34.719
You have one child, two children?

00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:38.639
Two, ten and six, ten-year-old girl, six-year-old uh boy.

00:37:38.960 --> 00:37:40.239
Six-year-old boy.

00:37:40.559 --> 00:37:43.199
I have a one-year-old boy.

00:37:43.440 --> 00:37:44.960
It has been an adventure.

00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:48.960
Uh Chris has a lovely family of five.

00:37:49.760 --> 00:37:51.119
Nice, my man.

00:37:54.960 --> 00:37:56.159
That's how you do it, dude.

00:37:56.239 --> 00:37:56.800
Good job.

00:37:58.400 --> 00:38:01.039
So ranging from two to sixteen.

00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:02.559
Yeah.

00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:03.599
Yeah.

00:38:03.679 --> 00:38:07.039
So good luck with the 10-year-old.

00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:09.599
Uh I'm telling you, bud.

00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:12.159
Oh, the attitude.

00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:13.920
If it's not already there, it's coming.

00:38:14.159 --> 00:38:23.039
It's it's not, but I've always said I feel like in terms of like how hard it is, I feel like boys are front loaded, meaning when they're little boys, they're the hardest, right?

00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:28.800
And they kind of mellow out, and girls are like little angels, like at the beginning, and then it gets harder into their teen years.

00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:30.320
Is what I've always said that.

00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:33.599
So thus far, that's my experience.

00:38:33.760 --> 00:38:34.239
Yeah.

00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:45.840
Literally, literally, like 10 minutes before I jumped on here, my son Adam walked from the couch to our dog in the middle of the living room.

00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:47.280
It was it was awesome.

00:38:47.440 --> 00:38:47.679
Yeah.

00:38:48.159 --> 00:38:49.599
Was that his first steps?

00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:56.639
Uh, not his first steps, but like he's like he's taken a couple of steps here and there, but like this was the longest stretch.

00:38:56.960 --> 00:38:58.159
Yeah, but but he's getting there.

00:38:58.400 --> 00:39:00.159
He's getting there, it's crazy.

00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:00.960
Hell yeah.

00:39:01.199 --> 00:39:05.039
Um, so, anyways, last episode we established, we are the 90s crew.

00:39:05.199 --> 00:39:13.199
So now I've put together 90s trivia for all of you guys, and we're going to uh we're gonna do this the gentleman's way.

00:39:13.360 --> 00:39:20.559
We're gonna go round Robin and I'll keep track of points and we'll see who is the 90s trivia champion.

00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:21.440
Are you guys ready?

00:39:23.039 --> 00:39:23.599
Let's do it.

00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:28.559
All right, so the order is going to be Chris, Noelle, Gage, and then Tyler.

00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:30.400
And then we'll go in reverse.

00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:34.960
Uh no, we'll just keep doing, we'll keep doing that circle because if we do it in reverse, then Tyler answers twice.

00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:36.079
He gets double points.

00:39:36.159 --> 00:39:37.039
That doesn't seem fair.

00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:45.199
So I feel like Chris just has the advantage right now, just looking at his how he's dressed and that shelf behind him.

00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:48.480
I'm like, that's just his competition, man.

00:39:50.079 --> 00:39:51.360
All right, Chris.

00:39:51.519 --> 00:39:53.119
The first question, sir.

00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:58.239
What boy band released the hit song Bye Bye Bye in the year 2000?

00:39:58.639 --> 00:40:02.000
Somehow I always oh I'm gonna get it.

00:40:02.079 --> 00:40:02.719
You don't know this one?

00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:07.199
No, I wasn't a NSY backstream boys.

00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:09.360
That's it's either in sync or backstream boys.

00:40:09.519 --> 00:40:10.559
What final answer do you want to do?

00:40:10.800 --> 00:40:11.119
Lock in.

00:40:11.760 --> 00:40:13.360
Lock in 5050.

00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:15.280
It's fitty, it's fitty fitty.

00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:18.079
Uh no, it's actually not fitty.

00:40:18.159 --> 00:40:19.840
Uh he's a different guy.

00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:25.360
Uh let's go backstreet boys.

00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:26.800
Oh, you were so close.

00:40:26.880 --> 00:40:27.519
It was the other one.

00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:29.599
Look at this dog right now, guys.

00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:30.079
Yeah.

00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:32.239
Oh my god, that was hard.

00:40:35.760 --> 00:40:38.239
Um, no, it was in sync, sir.

00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:45.280
Um, Noel, what was Ash Ketchum's first Pokemon in the series?

00:40:47.840 --> 00:40:52.480
See, this is a kind of like a rhetorical question, but it's I so it's Pikachu.

00:40:53.199 --> 00:40:55.440
It is Pikachu, it is Pikachu.

00:40:56.159 --> 00:41:02.800
It so when I saw this question, I also was like, This is a complicated question.

00:41:02.880 --> 00:41:04.480
On the surface, it is Pikachu.

00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:08.880
Yeah, it's like is it Caterpie because he catches exactly because he catches the caterpie.

00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:09.760
I agree.

00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:11.360
That was my argument as well.

00:41:11.599 --> 00:41:13.599
So we're all on the same page so far.

00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:14.000
Okay.

00:41:14.400 --> 00:41:16.159
Um, bonus points.

00:41:16.320 --> 00:41:20.480
Who here thinks that they can name the first six Pokemon that Ash catches?

00:41:20.719 --> 00:41:23.119
Oh, that's a good question.

00:41:23.519 --> 00:41:26.000
Gage, are you a super Pokemon fan?

00:41:26.239 --> 00:41:28.639
Uh, I was up until like when do we?

00:41:28.880 --> 00:41:30.559
I was kind of rolled with Tyler on it.

00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:33.599
So up until like maybe like 20 what like 18.

00:41:33.679 --> 00:41:34.400
Like, yeah, 100%.

00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:36.559
I know everything like previous to that.

00:41:36.880 --> 00:41:39.039
So it was let's see, so it was uh Pikachu.

00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:43.199
That's the guy who was opening packs on the fucking van the whole time in between.

00:41:43.679 --> 00:41:44.559
Yeah, I got the little quick.

00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:47.519
Whoa, I didn't know that I was talking to the Rockefellers.

00:41:47.599 --> 00:41:49.119
Where are you guys getting this money from?

00:41:49.360 --> 00:41:53.360
No, he's got the iOS and like oh okay, okay, okay.

00:41:53.599 --> 00:41:58.480
Yeah, I don't I don't have anything on the challenge hit pack every hour, dude.

00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:02.400
Oh, you wait, you're is this my quick okay?

00:42:02.480 --> 00:42:03.519
Well, I get bonus points for this.

00:42:03.599 --> 00:42:09.280
It's Pikachu, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Butterfree, Pidgeotto.

00:42:09.840 --> 00:42:10.800
That's six.

00:42:11.119 --> 00:42:12.480
That is that is six.

00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:13.760
That is six.

00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:21.840
Um, can you name so technically hate to be technical here, but I said that he caught he didn't catch Pikachu.

00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:23.199
Okay, all right, all right, all right.

00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:23.679
There we go.

00:42:24.079 --> 00:42:24.639
B bro.

00:42:26.960 --> 00:42:29.360
And I knew it was in seek, and I knew it was Pikachu, dude.

00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:31.840
What's and my question is gonna be something crazy, dude, isn't it, dude?

00:42:31.920 --> 00:42:32.800
You're gonna I don't know.

00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:33.679
Let's see, let's see.

00:42:33.840 --> 00:42:34.880
I'm doing too good, dude.

00:42:35.039 --> 00:42:36.239
Like how many sparrows?

00:42:36.960 --> 00:42:39.840
How many sparrows were in the flock of sparrows that he thunder?

00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:45.519
What's the first legendary Pokemon he saw?

00:42:46.000 --> 00:42:47.039
Oh, I know that.

00:42:47.199 --> 00:42:48.480
Yeah, it was the ho.

00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:52.559
Um, number three here is for Gage.

00:42:52.880 --> 00:42:58.880
What color Power Ranger is the leader of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in the original series?

00:42:59.119 --> 00:43:00.480
The original leader.

00:43:01.119 --> 00:43:02.639
Red is the original.

00:43:02.880 --> 00:43:03.519
There we go.

00:43:03.840 --> 00:43:05.039
Okay, that is the original.

00:43:05.519 --> 00:43:08.639
You would go red, green, or white, but red is first, right?

00:43:08.800 --> 00:43:09.119
Right.

00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:09.599
Yeah.

00:43:09.840 --> 00:43:19.119
Um, so so fun fact, I asked my wife all of these questions in the other room, and she did okay, but she got a handful wrong.

00:43:19.360 --> 00:43:27.599
So that told me that they were complicated enough, but I did add another 10 more complicated questions at the end.

00:43:27.920 --> 00:43:29.840
So these ones are gonna be a little smooth.

00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:38.159
Um, Tyler, what band had the hit in 1999 called All Star?

00:43:39.440 --> 00:43:40.320
Smash Mouth.

00:43:40.559 --> 00:43:40.960
Let's go.

00:43:41.199 --> 00:43:42.159
Smash Mouth.

00:43:42.239 --> 00:43:42.960
Okay, okay.

00:43:43.039 --> 00:43:43.519
There we go.

00:43:43.760 --> 00:43:45.119
Wasn't that that was Shrek, right?

00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:45.679
I'm just kidding.

00:43:45.920 --> 00:43:47.679
It was made famous in Shrek.

00:43:48.719 --> 00:43:52.000
Actually, before that, it was made famous in the Digimon movie, just to be clear.

00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:52.960
Thank you.

00:43:53.280 --> 00:43:54.159
Thank you.

00:43:54.480 --> 00:44:00.400
Uh, another another fun fact, there's a band that's on your guys' label that also was made famous by the Digimon movie.

00:44:02.559 --> 00:44:04.960
Dude, I'm ready because I also have a whole story.

00:44:05.360 --> 00:44:06.480
Okay, so show off.

00:44:06.639 --> 00:44:13.440
Um, we played with them last year in New York in September, and uh there was two sets, right?

00:44:13.519 --> 00:44:19.920
And us and Ryan Kabr are on day two, they were headlining day one, and so I was just at the festival, just like watching them.

00:44:20.079 --> 00:44:26.559
Uh, and so they opened up with that song Spill that was on the Digimon soundtrack, and I'm all like, what is this?

00:44:26.719 --> 00:44:29.599
I know this song, like, but I have never heard of Show Up before, right?

00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:35.679
At the time, and uh I'm like, I know this song, and then I was like, Oh my god, this is from the Digimon soundtrack, dude.

00:44:35.920 --> 00:44:44.639
And so then afterwards, uh I went and talked to the band, and I'm like, okay, like I was like eight when that movie came out, so I'm like prime demographic for that.

00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:46.639
I need to know everything about that experience.

00:44:46.719 --> 00:44:47.360
That's so cool.

00:44:47.519 --> 00:44:49.360
And they're like, they were like, What's Digimon?

00:44:49.440 --> 00:44:50.480
What do I don't know what you're talking about?

00:44:50.559 --> 00:44:51.119
What are you going on?

00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:53.440
And then I was like, I just show them on my phone.

00:44:53.519 --> 00:44:58.639
I was like, Oh yeah, like our manager said y'all are probably gonna be on the soundtrack, and then we were, and that's that.

00:44:58.800 --> 00:45:03.199
And I'm like, that's it, and they were like, Yeah, and I'm like, Oh man, and they were like, What's Digimon?

00:45:03.360 --> 00:45:04.880
And and I was like, Well, you know what Pokemon is?

00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:06.960
They're like, Yeah, and I'm like, it's kind of like that, but better.

00:45:07.119 --> 00:45:12.559
And they're like, Well, yeah, now that you mentioned it, it wasn't like less than Jake, and uh, and you know, Smash Mouth and all these other people.

00:45:12.880 --> 00:45:19.679
Smash Mouth, bare naked ladies, yeah, and I was like, Yeah, and they're like, Oh, so it's like a punk rock Pokemon, and I'm like, Yeah, exactly, it's like a punk rock Pokemon.

00:45:19.840 --> 00:45:32.480
And then uh the next night, they were like, Oh, we went shopping at a toy store for like our kids to bring souvenirs home, and we saw some Digimon stuff, and we thought of you, and I'm like, I'm glad I have that connection with show up now that when they see Digimon, they think of us.

00:45:33.360 --> 00:45:37.440
Dude, you and I have almost the exact same experience.

00:45:37.679 --> 00:45:42.239
So Manicat floats me, you know, names to have on the show, and they had show off.

00:45:42.400 --> 00:45:44.480
And I was like, Fuck yes, I'm so excited.

00:45:44.639 --> 00:45:48.320
I know them, I know the Digimon soundtrack, one of my all-time favorite movies.

00:45:48.400 --> 00:45:49.679
I've got so many questions.

00:45:49.920 --> 00:45:50.880
Same thing, dude.

So I'm just gonna guess and say back to the future.

00:48:18.880 --> 00:48:20.800
Uh, that's an 80s movie.

00:48:20.960 --> 00:48:23.360

00:48:26.239 --> 00:48:26.559
Uh well.

00:48:27.039 --> 00:48:28.000
Another 80s movie.

00:48:28.079 --> 00:48:28.559
All right.

00:48:29.280 --> 00:48:32.079
It's a matrix, but I mean, okay.

00:48:32.320 --> 00:48:33.280
It's a matrix.

00:48:33.440 --> 00:48:33.599
Okay.

00:48:33.920 --> 00:48:34.960
I didn't know that one either.

00:48:35.199 --> 00:48:40.239
Unironically, I didn't even watch the matrix until like two or three years ago, and I still didn't remember that.

00:48:41.440 --> 00:48:43.599
That's the scene with the little bald kid, right?

00:48:43.760 --> 00:48:44.079
Yeah.

00:48:44.239 --> 00:48:46.239
Oh, dude, it's been years since I've seen that movie.

00:48:46.320 --> 00:48:47.280
I'm gonna trust Noel.

00:48:47.599 --> 00:48:47.920
I think so.

00:48:48.159 --> 00:48:51.760
Yeah, he's going in the house to find Morpheus, and he's like, What am I doing in this like trap house?

00:48:51.840 --> 00:48:55.840
And there's like this the old lady, and then the oh, and the yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:48:55.840 --> 00:49:02.639
And then he's just so confused, and then he's watching the kid bend the spoon, and then the kid tells him there's no spoon.

00:49:02.880 --> 00:49:05.840
Yeah, and then the kid ends up being Morpheus, right?

00:49:06.079 --> 00:49:07.840
I I I think that's what starts.

00:49:08.079 --> 00:49:09.599
It's like implying like the movie, yeah.

00:49:09.679 --> 00:49:13.679
Like that's where the movie starts with being the matrix and all that, yeah.

00:49:14.079 --> 00:49:23.199
Um, so now point recap: we've got Chris and Tyler tied with one, we've got Gage and Noelle tied with two, coming in at number nine, Chris.

00:49:23.440 --> 00:49:27.599
What is the name of Ash's main rival in the Pokemon series?

00:49:30.079 --> 00:49:30.480
Gary.

00:49:31.199 --> 00:49:32.639
Gary, there we go.

00:49:33.199 --> 00:49:37.920
I wanted to say red because every time I played the game, you know, you get to choose the rival's name.

00:49:38.559 --> 00:49:39.440
I always pick red.

00:49:40.159 --> 00:49:40.800
No idea why.

00:49:41.039 --> 00:49:43.360
Wait, that means that you always played blue.

00:49:44.239 --> 00:49:47.280
Yeah, well, guys, in in blue version, right?

00:49:47.519 --> 00:49:49.840
The rival's version is red.

00:49:50.239 --> 00:49:52.960
In red version, the rival's default name is blue.

00:49:53.360 --> 00:49:57.519
And red and red is the best character in the manga.

00:49:57.679 --> 00:50:04.800
I mean, manga, manga, whatever we want to call it, but um red is like a badass Pokemon trainer.

00:50:05.360 --> 00:50:16.719
Um, anyways, coming to Noelle, we have what iconic 90s Nickelodeon show featured the line, Dear Journal, it's me.

00:50:18.159 --> 00:50:19.519
Dear journal, it's me.

00:50:19.679 --> 00:50:21.679
Is that Clarissa Explains it all?

00:50:21.920 --> 00:50:23.440
That's what my wife guessed.

00:50:23.519 --> 00:50:26.800
It is not your journal is then it's gotta be Doug.

00:50:26.960 --> 00:50:27.840
It is Doug.

00:50:28.159 --> 00:50:35.039
Oh so those were the yeah, those were the two because I don't remember any fucking buddy else.

00:50:35.199 --> 00:50:36.719
Because what the journal, yeah.

00:50:36.800 --> 00:50:39.440
Okay, so I get half a point, maybe point yeah, yeah.

00:50:39.519 --> 00:50:41.440
I'll give I'll give you, I'll give you point five on that.

00:50:41.519 --> 00:50:43.039
I'll give you point five on that.

00:50:43.280 --> 00:50:46.000
Um, so gage coming over to you.

00:50:46.159 --> 00:50:55.519
What was the name of the hit reality show premiered in 2000 and introduced us to the phrase tribal council?

00:50:56.159 --> 00:50:56.960
Oh, dude.

00:50:57.199 --> 00:50:58.079
Survivor.

00:50:58.320 --> 00:51:00.000
It is survivor.

00:51:02.239 --> 00:51:06.559
We're getting into the uh little more complicated questions, it looks like.

00:51:06.800 --> 00:51:17.360
Uh Tyler, in 1995, what technology company released the Windows 95 operating system massive worldwide marketing campaign?

00:51:18.000 --> 00:51:24.159
What that would be on a you're all qualified for this question.

00:51:26.000 --> 00:51:28.480
You have to repeat that new Yahoo, bro!

00:51:30.639 --> 00:51:41.599

I don't know.

00:51:45.039 --> 00:51:46.480
I'll say you're old.

00:51:48.320 --> 00:51:50.400
I didn't catch what you said the first time, the second time.

00:51:51.119 --> 00:51:57.920
Yeah, but dang that one that one I felt like was a give me just on the question itself, but it's okay, man.

00:51:58.159 --> 00:52:00.480
Um, it is Microsoft.

00:52:01.199 --> 00:52:02.159
Ah, that makes sense.

00:52:02.239 --> 00:52:05.039
As I'm coding in the background, Windows 95, bro.

00:52:06.800 --> 00:52:08.880
Um Pinball Space Cadet, dog.

00:52:08.960 --> 00:52:10.559
You know what does that give me on that?

00:52:10.800 --> 00:52:21.440
Dude, so right now, right now, Gage is in the lead with three, Noelle Tailing with two and a half, Chris with two, and Tyler with one.

00:52:22.079 --> 00:52:24.159
Coming back over to Chris.

00:52:24.800 --> 00:52:26.400
Uh, let's see here.

00:52:26.639 --> 00:52:27.519
Here we go.

00:52:27.840 --> 00:52:42.480
Chris, which cartoon network series featured the characters Ed, Ed, and Eddie constantly scheming for jawbreakers to watch that.

00:52:45.519 --> 00:52:50.239
Come on, you're gonna give Tyler a question like that, and then okay.

00:52:50.320 --> 00:52:53.360
I'm gonna go the Grim Adventures of Billy and Manny.

00:52:53.599 --> 00:52:55.280
That's a far better show.

00:52:55.440 --> 00:52:57.760
Um, but I also love this one.

00:52:57.920 --> 00:53:00.400
Ed, Ed, and Eddie is the answer.

00:53:00.559 --> 00:53:01.599
Uh, Noelle.

00:53:02.079 --> 00:53:09.679
What band released the 2001 hit in the end, blending rap and rock in a way that defined the early 2000s new metal?

00:53:10.320 --> 00:53:11.679
That was Lincoln Park.

00:53:11.920 --> 00:53:15.760
That was in fact Lincoln Park, one of my favorite bands of all time.

00:53:16.079 --> 00:53:17.440
Uh, gauge.

00:53:17.599 --> 00:53:20.400
Yeah, you get you get two Power Ranger questions?

00:53:20.480 --> 00:53:21.280
That's crazy.

00:53:21.519 --> 00:53:22.639
This one's tough, though.

00:53:22.880 --> 00:53:24.079
Oh um, who played the game?

00:53:24.239 --> 00:53:35.039
We can't give them to the Power Ranger guy because he's you know who played the pink Power Ranger in the original Mighty Morphin Power Ranger series.

00:53:35.280 --> 00:53:37.360
Uh this is the actress's name.

00:53:37.519 --> 00:53:39.199
Yes, Amy Joe Johnson.

00:53:39.360 --> 00:53:41.679
Yeah, that was that was a harder question.

00:53:42.800 --> 00:53:44.320
Um I was fast with it too.

00:53:44.400 --> 00:53:45.519
You know what I mean?

00:53:48.320 --> 00:53:50.800
Yeah, you talk about first crushes, my guy.

00:53:51.760 --> 00:53:53.519
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

00:53:53.840 --> 00:54:02.880
Um, Tyler, what famous pop star wore an infamous meat dress to the MTV Music Awards in 2010?

00:54:03.039 --> 00:54:03.760
Lady Gaga.

00:54:04.639 --> 00:54:05.199
Lady Gaga.

00:54:05.760 --> 00:54:06.559
Lady Gaga.

00:54:06.960 --> 00:54:08.000
There we go.

00:54:08.400 --> 00:54:14.960
All right, so point recap for everybody.

00:54:15.039 --> 00:54:17.199
We're in the same place as we were last time.

00:54:17.360 --> 00:54:23.519
Gage is in the lead, Noelle trailing slightly behind uh Chris and then Tyler.

00:54:23.840 --> 00:54:27.039
Um, coming into the next question, Chris.

00:54:27.599 --> 00:54:29.360
Wow, what are the odds, dude?

00:54:29.519 --> 00:54:43.280
Uh, what major historical event in 2001 changed the world heavily and influenced pop music, film, and art for the years to come?

00:54:45.679 --> 00:54:50.960
It's a heavy question for the release of Jimmy Eat World's Bleed American.

00:54:52.880 --> 00:54:55.039
I'm gonna go with Noelle's answer.

00:54:55.599 --> 00:54:57.199
Not the one you're fishing for.

00:54:57.440 --> 00:54:58.400
Never forget.

00:54:59.760 --> 00:55:00.719
Oh man.

00:55:01.039 --> 00:55:07.679
Uh, the answer is the September 11th tax or 9-11 for those listening.

00:55:08.400 --> 00:55:09.440
Gauge.

00:55:10.800 --> 00:55:17.760
The the grin tells me that you're familiar with the internet's obsession with 9-11.

00:55:18.400 --> 00:55:36.079
No, I just thought it was weird to go from like you know, all of these other questions to uh what what show featured Ed, Ed, and Eddie and Jawbreakers to uh September 11th event all right.

00:55:36.480 --> 00:55:51.920
So coming over to Noelle, we have what 1997 animated movie from Fox featured a girl trying to featured a girl trying to find her royal family while singing once upon a December.

00:55:54.239 --> 00:56:01.840
Um this is this is where we get into the more complex uh questioning.

00:56:03.199 --> 00:56:07.599
What uh repeat the question one more time.

00:56:07.920 --> 00:56:08.400
Sure.

00:56:08.800 --> 00:56:21.039
What 1997 animated movie from Fox, not Disney, from Fox, featured a girl trying to find her royal family while singing once upon a December.

00:56:21.599 --> 00:56:22.480
I think I know what it is.

00:56:22.719 --> 00:56:24.400
Five hole goes west.

00:56:26.400 --> 00:56:30.079
That was a great answer, but the answer is not that.

00:56:30.400 --> 00:56:32.079
Is it is it Anastasia?

00:56:32.480 --> 00:56:34.719
It is Anastasia, guys.

00:56:35.039 --> 00:56:35.599
Dude.

00:56:37.440 --> 00:56:39.119
Yeah, oh, love that movie.

00:56:39.360 --> 00:56:45.920
The animation style was close to like Atlantis, not quite there, but like I forgot about Fifle 2, dude.

00:56:46.239 --> 00:56:48.400
That yeah, that's a great reference.

00:56:49.280 --> 00:56:53.679
Um I always thought this was a Disney movie, and it is not.

00:56:54.400 --> 00:56:59.360
You would think, yeah, yeah, it's animated very, very similar to Disney.

00:56:59.760 --> 00:57:12.320
So didn't Fox kind of jumpstart that like uh for a while it was like a Western animated style, and then the hard stop where nothing was ever made like that again after like Road El Dorado.

00:57:13.119 --> 00:57:14.719
Oh, I forgot about that movie too.

00:57:14.800 --> 00:57:15.199
I love it.

00:57:15.599 --> 00:57:18.639
Yeah, that falls in that in that in that Prince of Egypt, dude.

00:57:19.519 --> 00:57:21.519
Oh, Prince of Egypt is so good.

00:57:21.840 --> 00:57:27.679
I genuinely thought that Road El Dorado was also a Disney movie, probably until this exact moment.

00:57:28.239 --> 00:57:28.880
So good, dude.

00:57:29.119 --> 00:57:30.400
Movie so good, yeah.

00:57:30.559 --> 00:57:43.280
And that's that's why it's kind of confusing because I don't like I don't even remember if it is or isn't, but there was this like pocket of oh, this is gonna be the western animation to compete with Japanese anime, right?

00:57:43.760 --> 00:57:44.480
Nope, nope.

00:57:44.559 --> 00:57:48.960
Also, Road El Dorado talk about another first crush as a child.

00:57:50.320 --> 00:57:51.679
It's a drawing.

00:57:54.000 --> 00:57:54.880
What does that mean?

00:57:54.960 --> 00:57:56.960
Like chill outside, it's only a drawing.

00:57:59.280 --> 00:58:04.000
Um bro, Dad, you went to that anime convention, you know what people would do for drawing.

00:58:06.719 --> 00:58:12.480
No, Tyler, tell us unspeakable things that I will not mention live with my own voice.

00:58:12.800 --> 00:58:18.159
Let's just say you let's just say you don't want to get a second owned, a second hand drawing.

00:58:18.239 --> 00:58:18.719
Oh, why is it?

00:58:18.960 --> 00:58:21.280
There's a reason like cons are smelly.

00:58:24.079 --> 00:58:26.079
A second hand drawing.

00:58:26.719 --> 00:58:30.239
We don't know if he used his first hand, he might have used his first hand.

00:58:32.880 --> 00:58:43.679
All right, coming over to gauge, uh, what 1990s handheld gaming device let you raise virtual pets that could die if you forgot to feed them?

00:58:44.239 --> 00:58:45.199
Tamagotchi.

00:58:45.679 --> 00:58:49.920
Tamagotchi and then over to Tyler.

00:58:50.480 --> 00:58:51.599
Final question.

00:58:53.920 --> 00:58:56.320
Finish this 2000s lyric.

00:58:57.280 --> 00:59:01.199
It's been it's been one week since you looked at me.

00:59:01.920 --> 00:59:02.639
That's all it is.

00:59:02.800 --> 00:59:05.760
It's been bonus questions.

00:59:05.920 --> 00:59:08.880
Who can do the best it's been impression?

00:59:09.519 --> 00:59:14.079
Oh, I mean, the vocalist should be able to win this easily.

00:59:14.480 --> 00:59:16.159
That guy's a better vocalist than me, dude.

00:59:16.239 --> 00:59:16.559
Let's see.

00:59:17.199 --> 00:59:23.039
It's been oh any anybody else gonna give this a shot?

00:59:23.599 --> 00:59:26.559
I won't even get close to that, so I will gracefully pass.

00:59:26.800 --> 00:59:27.920
I'll give it, I'll give it a go.

00:59:28.079 --> 00:59:28.559
Ready?

00:59:28.719 --> 00:59:30.960
I I do this a lot around the house.

00:59:34.320 --> 00:59:34.960
Oh, damn.

00:59:35.039 --> 00:59:40.000
Oh yeah, I'm not getting close to that either, so I'm passing on that one.

00:59:43.679 --> 00:59:47.280
You unlock the memory of that uh Edd and Eddie commercial that used that.

00:59:48.559 --> 00:59:51.679
You know what I'm talking about where they're driving the car around in the toyhouse.

00:59:52.320 --> 00:59:53.199
Oh, yeah.

00:59:53.440 --> 00:59:55.519
For me, it's it's the Digimon movie, man.

00:59:55.599 --> 00:59:56.639
That's where I heard that song.

00:59:56.960 --> 00:59:59.840
I know the scene, everything, dude.

01:00:00.480 --> 01:00:02.639
I could talk about the Digimon movie for hours.

01:00:02.719 --> 01:00:04.639
I'm so glad that you guys love that movie.

01:00:04.800 --> 01:00:06.320
That that was so iconic.

01:00:06.880 --> 01:00:08.159
Just for the Digimon movie.

01:00:08.239 --> 01:00:08.559
We should.

01:00:08.719 --> 01:00:09.280
That's yeah.

01:00:09.760 --> 01:00:11.760
Dude, I would absolutely do that.

01:00:12.000 --> 01:00:14.960
Dude, that movie was so iconic in my childhood.

01:00:15.119 --> 01:00:21.920
Specifically, like the music from that movie, like bare naked ladies, that's the only reason I knew who they were.

01:00:22.239 --> 01:00:26.159
And then as an adult, I got super oh, yeah, less than Jake.

01:00:26.320 --> 01:00:31.840
Um, but I got super into the bare naked ladies as an adult because of that movie.

01:00:32.800 --> 01:00:35.440
Anywho, um, that's it, guys.

01:00:35.599 --> 01:00:37.760
Uh, Gage, congratulations.

01:00:37.920 --> 01:00:40.159
You are the 90s champion.

01:00:41.519 --> 01:00:42.239
Thanks, guys.

01:00:42.320 --> 01:00:43.519
What do I win?

01:00:44.159 --> 01:00:45.760
You win a monster.

01:00:45.920 --> 01:00:46.719
Here you go.

01:00:46.960 --> 01:00:50.000
You win another episode of the podcast.

01:00:50.400 --> 01:00:51.039
Say, dude.

01:00:51.119 --> 01:00:53.119
All right, is this one done by based on the Digimon movie?

01:00:53.199 --> 01:00:53.840
Round three, dude.

01:00:53.920 --> 01:00:54.159
The trade.

01:00:54.480 --> 01:00:54.960
Dude, we should.

01:00:56.159 --> 01:00:57.360
We absolutely should.

01:00:57.440 --> 01:00:58.719
That would be fucking awesome.

01:00:58.960 --> 01:01:06.480
We should break out and just do a side podcast where we do like Power Rangers one episode, Digimon another, Pokemon another.

01:01:06.719 --> 01:01:10.079
I think we're the most qualified band to do that if you guys ever do that so far.

01:01:10.559 --> 01:01:10.880
Probably.

01:01:13.519 --> 01:01:14.480
Oh shit.

01:01:14.639 --> 01:01:17.840
Well, guys, thank you so much for hanging out today.

01:01:18.079 --> 01:01:24.800
Um, again, we're here celebrating the the release of the song, but potentially the EP itself.

01:01:24.880 --> 01:01:28.639
Like, I let's not even promote just the song, let's promote the EP coming out, man.

01:01:28.800 --> 01:01:30.800
Uh, do we have a name for EP?

01:01:31.599 --> 01:01:32.480
No, we don't.

01:01:32.559 --> 01:01:37.519
We've we've been we've been working on it and we've got a lot of ideas, but I'm I'm being real picky with it, so not yet.

01:01:37.760 --> 01:01:39.360
Okay, okay, okay.

01:01:39.840 --> 01:01:44.239
Um, Chris, do you want to float any ideas for a name for the EP?

01:01:44.880 --> 01:01:47.280
Well, oh, what did you guys say earlier?

01:01:47.440 --> 01:01:48.079

01:01:48.159 --> 01:01:49.599
Um Cold?

01:01:50.639 --> 01:01:51.280

01:01:51.360 --> 01:01:52.719
That was wasn't that the name of the song?

01:01:52.880 --> 01:01:55.199
Yeah, that's the name of the song from earlier.

01:01:55.679 --> 01:01:56.559

01:01:56.719 --> 01:02:02.320

01:02:04.960 --> 01:02:05.599

01:02:06.639 --> 01:02:09.760
Oh, wasn't it something of the 90s?

01:02:10.719 --> 01:02:16.000
Oh, dude, second hand second hand would be a great name for EP.

01:02:16.559 --> 01:02:18.079

01:02:18.480 --> 01:02:20.960
