We Decide Which Bands Deserve Redemption

Welcome Back And Life Updates

SPEAKER_05 0:00

Welcome back to the Hook and Bridge podcast, where apparently our new full-time job is deciding which musicians are allowed to exist. This is part three. Yes, part three. We've been doing this for three whole weeks now, and there's somehow still another one coming. So who are we ruining music history for tonight? Let's talk about it again.

SPEAKER_00 0:32

I fucking love music. I'm the worst person to have a podcast. I can barely. What is up, everyone? Welcome back to the show. I am your host, Harley, joined as always by my little sister Taylor. And yes, like Taylor said, we are back at this bracket, but there's nothing going on this week. There's not much news. So I don't have anything news related for you unless you want to dive back into Ariana Grande again. Other than that, we will have time for some music memes later presented by Lindsay. And first, Taylor has always life updates. What's going on in your neck of the woods?

SPEAKER_05 1:33

It's raining.

SPEAKER_00 1:35

All right, Ollie, back to you.

SPEAKER_05 1:37

Yeah, I was gonna say, I hope everyone got that.

SPEAKER_00 1:40

Oh by the dog.

SPEAKER_05 1:43

Uh nothing. I work six days straight. I haven't done anything. Nothing fun. This is the first day off work I've had in six days. Did I tell you that I've worked six days straight?

SPEAKER_00 1:52

I think six days something about working like five or six days, somewhere around there.

SPEAKER_05 2:01

Six my entire Saturday, guys, for everyone listening. I need you to like, first of all, yesterday wasn't a bad day. I just like we've had so much going on. I haven't had time to like chill. Like today was the first day I've had to like chill. Yesterday, I I'm supposed to get off work at noon. I didn't clock out of that place until 1.45. Damn. That's like that's eight to one forty-five. And I know you're all like, oh my god, Taylor, that's only three and a half hours. Shut up. I know what it is. All right. I also worked five days prior to that. All right.

SPEAKER_00 2:40

Anyways. What else is going on? Anything fun or happy?

SPEAKER_05 2:46

Well, yeah, I went out to dinner with my friend yesterday. We got chittis. I wanted a triple dipper. That's what I got. I'm trying to think. I literally don't think anything else happened. Alright. That's all. I just went out to dinner with a friend. How about you?

SPEAKER_00 3:04

I mean, it's been a good week. Let's see here. I talked to Danny for a little bit today. That's exciting. Yeah, we are going to be doing his podcast soon. Yes, you'll be seeing the first episode of the retro recap that we are doing, where we are going to be going over Spider-Man Homecoming. But like I told Taylor earlier today, I have officially watched all of the Spider-Man, the Tom Holland ones. And I watched a Doctor Strange movie, the Madness one. Yes. And I watched Captain America this morning. And we watched all of the Venom movies. So I'm I'm doing my best to get into whatever the hell's going on. But be prepared to do that.

SPEAKER_11 3:54

No one really knows.

SPEAKER_00 3:55

We're getting ready to do that, where I'm going to give my review with Danny of Spider-Man Homecoming. And then we're going to do all of the Spider-Mans. And then Lindsay and I, I think, are going to go see the new one.

SPEAKER_05 4:09

As as you should now, I will say the new one isn't bad, okay? It's not bad. But the last don't mind me, guys, if you're watching this. I'm so sorry. It's eight o'clock at night. Like I have to go night night after this.

SPEAKER_00 4:21

Putting on makeup? I'm very confused.

SPEAKER_05 4:24

No, this is an eye cream because I'm almost 25.

SPEAKER_00 4:30

You could just say that you're 30.

SPEAKER_05 4:33

That makes you 47. We're going based off that math. That literally makes you 47.

SPEAKER_00 4:41

That really would only make me 37.

SPEAKER_05 4:45

No. Because you're adding, as of right now, you're gonna add six years onto me. Because I'm only 24.

SPEAKER_00 4:55

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 4:56

So so by that math, I have to add fifth 15 years onto you.

SPEAKER_00 5:00

That doesn't make any sense.

SPEAKER_05 5:02

I don't make the rules, I just follow them. This uh this new Spider-Man wasn't bad at all. It has the girl from Stranger Things in it. So that's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_11 5:13

Not Millie Bobby Brown, the redhead.

SPEAKER_05 5:17

The one who was dating, I can't remember his name.

SPEAKER_00 5:24

No, you don't care.

SPEAKER_05 5:27

She's she's the redhead. She, I won't ruin it for you, but it's not bad, it's not bad at all. I just really, really, really loved the last one. And I think that's the same problem you're gonna have is like the last one was so good that they should have just left it there.

SPEAKER_00 5:44

And also in other news, this has just occurred to me while I'm standing here, while sitting here. I know I've been complaining about not being able to tell that I've lost some weight, but I feel like I can feel it and see it this weekend. So I feel like I look a little thinner and I feel thinner.

SPEAKER_05 6:06

You look more energized.

SPEAKER_00 6:09

I definitely have energy.

SPEAKER_05 6:10

That's you look more energized for sure. No, that makes my heart so happy. You're doing so good. I'm literally so proud of you. We're trying, we're trying, we'll get there.

SPEAKER_00 6:19

Doing fantastic, but yeah, no, everything's fantastic. Everything's been good.

SPEAKER_05 6:24

Oh, same same over here. There's there's been a couple of things that I'm not gonna air out on the internet, but as of right now, everyone's fine, like everything's good. The week hasn't been inherently bad. I just did I mention I work six days in a row, anyways.

SPEAKER_00 6:40

And somehow didn't still didn't do a whole shift, which is kind of crazy.

SPEAKER_05 6:46

Not gonna air it out here, but I agree. It's actually kind of crazy. Oh, sorry. I thought we were both complaining about the same thing. I understand you were making a joke. I understand that. Everyone, please know, even with working six days straight, I did not go into OT.

SPEAKER_00 7:04

Not only did you not go into O D, you didn't hit D. Not you didn't get the O or the D.

SPEAKER_05 7:11

You by by like everyone listening to this is gonna be like, oh my god, she barely works. No, guys, I work really hard.

SPEAKER_00 7:16

No, no, Taylor does work really hard.

SPEAKER_05 7:18

I'm just telling you hours-wise, hours-wise on paper, it doesn't look like that, and I ended at 3939, which is pretty sick, actually.

SPEAKER_00 7:29

Anyways, I do want to ask, is is Dylan's sister busy? Is she there?

SPEAKER_05 7:35

She is sleeping.

SPEAKER_00 7:36

Oh, okay, never mind. I wanted to because I know she's a giant Harry Styles fan. So I wanted to see how she felt about last week where Harry Stiles swept the category of pop.

SPEAKER_05 7:50

I bet she is very excited. I haven't really gotten to talk to her about it. But I will ask. I will ask and I will bring her back.

SPEAKER_00 7:57

Next time you see her, next time you see her, ask.

Song Of The Week And Pokemon

SPEAKER_00 8:00

So, anyways, let's dive into a little bit of music stuff. Lindsay picked the song of the week this week. She picked I saw Love is a Battlefield by Pat Benatar. Are you familiar with that song, Taylor?

SPEAKER_05 8:15

Love is a battlefield.

SPEAKER_00 8:17

Yep, that's the one. That's the one.

SPEAKER_05 8:19

Um, I feel like I don't know it by by Pat Benatar. Who does the cover of it that I know?

SPEAKER_00 8:26

I didn't know there was a cover, so that's all news to me.

SPEAKER_05 8:32

Sorry, my tummy started hurting.

SPEAKER_00 8:34

Go on. But so so Lindsay picked that. The new Pocopia DLC came out.

SPEAKER_05 8:42

Gosh, tell me all about it.

SPEAKER_00 8:44

I've been playing some some Pocopia, getting back into that. Taylor and I played a little bit of Pocopia this morning. And then that's probably what I'll do when I get off of here, honestly, is go out there. I think Lindsay's gonna scrub our showers, and then I'm gonna go out there and hang with Adam and play some Pocopia. Of course, and I have started playing Let's Go Pikachu together.

SPEAKER_05 9:06

He is so cute. Also, can we all talk about how great of a dad Harley is? Because Adam really thinks he's catching Pokemon. And he and you very much are the one doing it. And he goes, I caught it. And it's so fun because, like, as a baby, you don't have to hide that you're doing it. He genuinely thinks that he did it. Because like he's just a baby.

SPEAKER_00 9:27

Well, and and I'm not one of those dads where I'm turning off his controller either. He has the ability, like, if he wants to throw the ball, and and Taylor, he did catch a a cadaver today by himself.

SPEAKER_05 9:41

Wait, that's actually mad impressive. I don't think he understands how cool he is.

SPEAKER_00 9:44

Yeah, I I showed him again and again and again how to throw the ball. Yes, yes, and and I I did help him because he he can't, he's still not getting the throwing of the arm thing. He like lunges his body instead of the ball.

SPEAKER_05 9:58

He literally lunges his entire body forward.

SPEAKER_00 10:02

So I kind of held his arm, and I was like, This is how you do it. And then he he did it, and his ball that is cadabra.

SPEAKER_05 10:09

That's incredible. That's actually mad impressive. You know how hard a cadabra is to catch.

SPEAKER_00 10:15

But he's having a blast with that game. Every time I try to play Pocopia, he goes and grabs the side rails with the with the little strap and brings them to me and goes, play this one, play this one.

SPEAKER_05 10:27

Dude, he's having a blast. You have a little gamer baby, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:31

Yeah, he he does. He really likes playing video games. He likes playing Pocopia too. I I give him the controller and just be like, hey man, just run around, do whatever. Have a great time. He's played Minecraft, right? Not really. He doesn't really like Minecraft. He likes watching Minecraft, but he doesn't like playing it.

SPEAKER_05 10:47

It makes me nauseous. He was an Animal Crossing. Fun fact.

SPEAKER_00 10:52

He's trying to find a haunter right now. They're in the Lavender Tower.

SPEAKER_05 10:57

So he can get his Gengar.

SPEAKER_00 10:59

Yep.

SPEAKER_05 11:00

So he can get his Gengar.

SPEAKER_00 11:02

Go for him. He's awesome, man. He's doing so good.

SPEAKER_05 11:05

He's so cool. He's so cool.

SPEAKER_00 11:08

But but the reason I even brought up Pokemon is because I just wanted to talk about, because we are a music show. I want to talk about the music of Pocopia for a moment.

SPEAKER_07 11:17

It's beautiful.

SPEAKER_00 11:18

Dude, the music is so good in that game. It's so good. I love how they they kind of like remixed old Pokemon songs into like this like cozy sound.

SPEAKER_05 11:30

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 11:31

Yeah. No, I love it. And in the new DLC, you find Cerulean City, or as they call it, the bubbly basin, and it has like uh an old cerulean city sound uh mixed with that cozy cozy vibe, and it's it's very, very cool.

SPEAKER_05 11:49

Also, very on par that cerulean city. Sorry to let everyone know, the DLC you can go underwater. So it's on par that cerulean city is underwater.

SPEAKER_00 12:01

Yeah, and and this is a three-part DLC. So the second part, from what I understand, is going to be costumes for your Pokemon and some other like there's not like a new area, it's just adding features.

SPEAKER_11 12:15

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 12:16

And then in the third part, it's another area. So if if you think about it, as of right now in Pocopia, we've discovered like Palet Town, Wasteland. Yeah, that was not Saffron, that's fuchsia. Fuchsia City is the wasteland. Saffron City is mixed with Celadon City. You get both of those in the sky part, the sky twinkling sky, something or other. And then Vermilion City is Bleak Beach, and Pewter City is the other rocky, yeah. Rocky Ridges. So, and now we've got Cerulean City.

SPEAKER_05 13:00

And you get to make your own city if you would like.

SPEAKER_00 13:03

I'm thinking the new one is gonna be Viridian City slash Viridian Forest.

SPEAKER_05 13:12

Viridian Forest, so fun.

SPEAKER_00 13:15

That's what I'm thinking. Maybe we'll see.

SPEAKER_05 13:18

I hope a couple years down the line they also make make a safari.

SPEAKER_00 13:23

Yeah, they could do that. Or what I would like is Pocopia 2, and it's the Johto region. That's what I want.

SPEAKER_05 13:35

Fine, I'll go watch Pokemon Johto. I'll rewatch it.

SPEAKER_00 13:39

Honestly, playing playing through Let's Go again with Adam, I really want them to make a Let's Go Johto. They've been talking about it for years and years and years. They shouldn't. Dude, that game would be so fun to play with him.

unknown 13:52

Gosh.

SPEAKER_00 13:54

I have a major fly problem in this studio for some reason.

SPEAKER_05 13:57

Pretty fly for a white guy.

SPEAKER_00 13:59

I guess.

Fly On The Wall And Pokemon Types

SPEAKER_00 14:00

It's real annoying though. Anyways, before we dive into this bracket, oh sorry.

SPEAKER_05 14:07

I have a quick question. If you could be the fly, a fly on the wall in any room. Any room of your choosing.

SPEAKER_02 14:41

Where are you going? That's a good choice.

SPEAKER_00 14:49

Um I got that fly. Damn. I think I might be what do they call those? A ninja. Yeah. I killed a fly.

SPEAKER_05 15:01

That's really impressive.

SPEAKER_00 15:04

I would want to go to like the oval office. I wanna hear I want to hear conversations in the oval office and determine what's real and what's not.

SPEAKER_01 15:17

What what's going on?

SPEAKER_05 15:19

I I would be in Putin's bedroom.

SPEAKER_00 15:27

Vladimir Putin? Yeah. Okay, fascist. What?

SPEAKER_05 15:32

Same thing. I just want to know what's going on.

SPEAKER_00 15:35

You just want to hear what's going on?

SPEAKER_05 15:36

I'm just wanting to hear what's going on. I just need to know. Or like the Diddy trials. If I could go back in time, I'd be a fly on the wall there.

SPEAKER_00 15:48

You know that Vladimir Putin carries with him a poop guy. So when Kolinovsky was going to be a good thing, no, no, when he when he goes to the bathroom, there's a guy that goes in after him and removes his poop from the toilet and then puts it in a briefcase. And then they dispose of it back in Russia because they're worried that somebody might get a hold of his poop and get like his DNA from the poop.

SPEAKER_05 16:22

No, you're lying.

SPEAKER_00 16:23

I swear to God. I swear to god.

SPEAKER_05 16:24

First of all, that's the gayest thing I've ever heard of my life. I'm so sorry. Putin, you can just say you like boys.

SPEAKER_00 16:31

I saw it. It was 2026. Well, I saw it on the internet. I guess I can't say with 100% certainty that it's well then. The poop guy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:46

I don't know what's happening.

SPEAKER_00 16:48

Lindsay asked me today an interesting question. She said, What Pokemon do you think I am? And I was like, This might be the greatest question you've ever asked. And I was like, any specific gen? And she was like, out of everything. And I was like, oh. So I haven't finished yet, but right now it's between Clefable and Auroras.

SPEAKER_05 17:13

Okay. I was thinking the sassy cat.

SPEAKER_00 17:17

But I was wondering, it brought up a good question. What Pokemon do you think you are, Taylor?

SPEAKER_05 17:24

Ditto. I'm just kidding.

SPEAKER_00 17:26

It's a good question.

SPEAKER_05 17:27

What Pokemon am I? Well, you have to you have to think of the traits. I'm loving, I'm loyal.

SPEAKER_00 17:33

That's that's exactly why I was leaning towards Clef uh Clefable for her.

unknown 17:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:38

Because I was like, it has a cute side, it has a bubbly personality, yeah, but it it also is kind of an asshole and has like a an attitude problem. I was like, clefable.

SPEAKER_05 17:51

Clefable. I yeah, I'm I'm I'm loyal, I'm loving, but I'm feisty if I need to be. I'm going to say a Poochyana.

SPEAKER_00 18:05

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_05 18:06

Alright.

SPEAKER_00 18:07

I could see that.

SPEAKER_05 18:08

Or something, something in that realm. Maybe like a rock rough.

SPEAKER_00 18:12

No, I think Poochina is better.

SPEAKER_05 18:14

Yeah, you think so?

SPEAKER_00 18:15

I do. Or a Hound Or. Hound Door?

SPEAKER_02 18:19

Hound Houndoom, sorry. Houndor. Hound Doom. Hound Doom.

SPEAKER_00 18:25

I could see a Hound Doom also. I like Poochianna better. Yeah, you like that? You give Poochina vibes, actually. Thank you. A little bit of an ankle biter.

SPEAKER_05 18:36

I'll mess you up. And I always think I'm bigger than what I actually am.

SPEAKER_00 18:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 18:41

And I don't know how to keep my mouth shut. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 18:43

I I haven't been able to figure out what I am. I really haven't. I don't wanna I don't want to give myself main character syndrome. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_05 18:51

That's fair. I I think you should. What are you gonna say? Charizard? Everyone's a Charizard.

SPEAKER_00 18:55

No, no, no, no. No, I was thinking No, you go ahead. I want to hear I want to hear your character.

SPEAKER_05 19:00

I'm I'm thinking because same thing. You're strong, right? You're strong, you're loyal, you're protective, you are your your first line, something goes wrong, like you're there to defend. So I'm thinking something fighting for sure. Fighting or like like a normal type that kind of goes on the fighting side. Do you know what I mean? Like like what's the guy? You know the cutie gem leader I like? May's dad?

SPEAKER_00 19:36

What's his oh slacking?

unknown 19:39

Slacking.

SPEAKER_00 19:40

Oh, Vigoroff. Vigoroff, Vigoroth. Vigoroff. Lindsay said earlier, Machamp, and I told her to get out.

SPEAKER_01 19:48

That's insane.

SPEAKER_00 19:49

She was like, I think you're Machamp. And I was like, don't ever say that again. That was like Lindsay's a jinx. She said she said she was a jinx, and I said, That's not true. Don't do that to yourself.

SPEAKER_05 19:59

Don't say that. That's insane.

SPEAKER_00 20:00

But she said Machamp. And I was like, no. No, not in the champion.

SPEAKER_05 20:05

No. Or like a scyther.

SPEAKER_00 20:08

I mean, I I love Scizor.

SPEAKER_05 20:10

Or like a Scizor. Like I I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 20:12

Like I was thinking Blastoise.

SPEAKER_05 20:15

No, you don't get Blast Voice. You don't think? I don't think so. I I think I think Blast Choice is too like easygoing. Not that you're not easygoing, but like in battle, I think you're he's too easygoing with things. Like it would take you would be something with like a high defense and like a special attack. Like you're up there. I think you're selling yourself short with a blast choice. Like a like a skeleturge.

SPEAKER_00 20:41

Skeledurge is great. I do love skeleturge. What about Incineroar?

SPEAKER_05 20:47

Yes. Yes, yes, yes. You're loyal and he's funny.

SPEAKER_00 20:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 20:53

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you're a funny guy. You're a funny, cool cat. Like you're cool, you're a little edgy, but like you can lock in when you need to lock in. No, you're right. No, I like incinerator.

SPEAKER_00 21:07

Realistically, I wanna be the very best. Yes. I want to be a Lucario or a Mewtwo. Like I said, I don't want to give myself main character syndrome.

SPEAKER_05 21:20

Mewtwo has has professor vibes. No, not that.

SPEAKER_00 21:26

He has like superiority complex.

SPEAKER_05 21:30

Yeah. Or like the kids in school who think they're cool because they do sports and like their parents bought him Nike shoes. Like he kind of gets that vibe.

SPEAKER_00 21:43

That I can understand.

SPEAKER_05 21:45

And I don't think you're that. I I think you're also too good to be a Mewtwo. I really like Incineroar. What what Pokemon do you think Dylan is?

SPEAKER_00 22:01

Oh oh no. Oh no. I messed this up.

SPEAKER_01 22:04

SPEAKER_00 22:05

Yeah, again, shitty Mozart. You guys gotta check them out. It's so funny, dude. So funny. Let's get a lot of fun. I've been watching these on.

SPEAKER_05 24:12

I don't know. I don't even know how it popped up on my feed. I keep getting random things on TikTok. But this person, this guy plays a piano, and then this woman, I think woman, I'm not sure. I haven't asked, but they do like a they're hitting a volleyball back and forth. So he's hitting it one-handed and she's doing boom, boom, boom, and then he's hitting it one-handed back to her, and he's he's doing this as she's like ripping lyrics, either singing, rapping, like it's crazy. And one of the comments was like, How did you guys even find out you could do this? Like at like at what point were you sitting on the couch? Because it's an original experience. Yeah, like there's not many out there, and they took one of them.

SPEAKER_00 24:53

Lindsay found this one video of these guys playing each other, like one of them's holding a guitar, the other one holding the guitar with neck with one hand, and he's juggling with the other hand. Yes, so he's doing the fingering with one hand and juggling with the other, and then the guy behind him is doing strumming and then also juggling the same balls, like they're juggling together. It's the craziest thing I've ever seen. It's crazy.

SPEAKER_01 25:24

But it's just to do it, yeah, just to know that you can.

SPEAKER_00 25:28

This next one is about tool, and these guys have their own podcast, the meantime radio show, and let's dive into this one.

SPEAKER_06 25:43

I think I'll be processing tool for like another week before I you to tell me I should be in 4.4 all the time. I will be in 13.7. You can't change my mind.

SPEAKER_08 25:58

My tool impression.

SPEAKER_09 26:01

Can we actually see the statistic of how many songs like in 4.4 versus not 4.4 they have?

SPEAKER_06 26:05

It's like 5% of their entire discography.

SPEAKER_09 26:09

No, no way, really.

SPEAKER_06 26:10

Every song is into random numbers and they decide.

SPEAKER_08 26:19

Just throw it dartboard. You don't even have to make a new dartboard. Go to bingo, they'll tell you the key in time. That's actually the that's actually one of them. Is that seven?

SPEAKER_07 26:42

No, it's a bunch of different ones together. They don't, they're not gonna stick to one.

SPEAKER_09 26:46

Do a couple measures of this, a couple measures of that. A couple measures of this, a couple measures of that. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_06 26:52

Oh my god, where is on YouTube pass of judgment guy who thinks my punk?

SPEAKER_09 26:57

Right, yeah, that's real. That's real. I don't know. I'm not passing judgment. I'm a scandal.

SPEAKER_06 27:01

Don't you say nothing to me unless you bring the punk?

SPEAKER_05 27:05

I'm sorry, I need the blonde guy to bring the blinds into it.

SPEAKER_09 27:12

Were those last two really the words in the song? He says, no, the whole thing is everything in this. The guy that sings pop punk. He says that yeah, interesting. I didn't even know he had like even a understanding of that being a genre. Didn't seem out for a long time. If you told me that the guy, if the tool guy had never even heard of Blink 182, I'd believe you. I'd believe you.

SPEAKER_08 27:31

Blink 182 is another time signature that they're in.

SPEAKER_05 27:37

No wait. There's so funny. That's hilarious.

SPEAKER_00 27:43

We watch them all the time. We watch them all the time. All right, let's see. We got one more here. I gotta find a better way to to do these things because like they're really hard to add on to the stream.

SPEAKER_05 28:01

Chat, are you there, chat?

SPEAKER_00 28:02

Chat? Anyone chat?

SPEAKER_05 28:06

Chat? Chat?

SPEAKER_00 28:07

Well while you're that's what we've started calling chat GBT at my house.

SPEAKER_05 28:13

Same here.

SPEAKER_00 28:14

My oh, and at work. My wife. She'll be like you talking to your boyfriend chat.

SPEAKER_04 28:20

Chat? Chat, are you there? Chat?

SPEAKER_00 28:22

Because I I use it every day multiple times a day. Uh I don't know if I've talked about it on here, but it's my health coach. So like I have like a whole daily check-in thing that I do, and and it keeps track of like all of my progress and and crazy that AI is holding you accountable. It is. It literally is. And so it it keeps track of my progress, but it also has become my way of documenting what I eat and keeping track on my health as a whole, because eventually the plan is to be able to go to a doctor, and then I'm gonna be able to print all of that data off and hand it to the doctor, yeah, and say, Hey, this is what I'm doing. Help me be better.

SPEAKER_04 29:03

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 29:04

I'm basically my goal is three months. I'm gonna do this program for three months, and I'm gonna take that information and actually go to a doctor.

SPEAKER_05 29:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 29:12

So, but that's huge because, like, have you ever like tried to keep a food journal before? Yes, it's so tedious, it's so difficult to keep up with. Yeah, but for this, it it has so many daily check-in things that I have to do, and it emails me too to say, hey, get on here and do your shit. And then, like, let's say that I forget, right? And I go to ChatGPT to do something for the show. For some reason, I have been able to program it to where if I don't do that daily check-in, other chats will tell me to go do that first. Like, I went to do something this morning for the show, and it was like, hey, that sounds great. I'd be glad to help you with this. Make sure you do your daily check-in first.

SPEAKER_05 30:50

Yeah, that's wild. I I was writing my resume today, and I asked Dylan to look it over, and he goes, Yeah, I'll run it through chat. And I said, That's not what I asked. I asked for you to look it over.

SPEAKER_00 31:04

It's so good though. It does everything so good. It's time to just start embracing.

SPEAKER_05 31:10

No. For everyone listening, I did my own resume, okay. Also, I saw this thing on TikTok that was like, kids don't understand how to do a book report without Chat GPT. Honey, I did the book report without reading the book. You know what I mean? Like, there's gonna be a point in time now where like like kids will be like, no, I can't do this. Like, I need chat GPT to do this, I need AI to do it. And I'm like, we were just winging it and hoping for the best. Spark notes is gonna be a forgotten language. That's sad. Anyways, continue.

SPEAKER_00 31:48

All right, here comes the next one. This is the last one. This is another guy that we watch all the time. Lindsay and I watch these when we go to bed at night, and this guy's name is MacGlockley. MacLockley. And he's a singer, and what he does is people send in songs and who he wants who they want them to try and so like he he yeah, he does the prompt of like if system of a down wrote blank, and then people comment who or the song that System of a Down would do. But he does a bunch of different artists, and this this one is from what I remember actually really good. Mr.

SPEAKER_07 32:27

Bright side. This is gonna be cursed.

SPEAKER_00 33:56

All right, you get the picture. It's awesome.

SPEAKER_05 33:59

Sick.

SPEAKER_00 33:59

It's awesome.

SPEAKER_05 34:00

That's so cool.

SPEAKER_00 34:03

So there you go. There's your music meme breakdown for the week. I know normally they're a little more funny-sided, but those ones were good. I really like those.

SPEAKER_01 34:14

Big fan, big fan.

SPEAKER_00 34:16

Are we ready to dive into this bracket?

SPEAKER_05 34:20

I'm ready. I was born ready.

SPEAKER_00 34:22

I think this one's gonna be a little quicker because we are deciding the the losers from the last one that get to come over to round four. Yes, like so it's it should be a little shorter, I think.

SPEAKER_05 34:39

Like the soccer leak. I learned about soccer yesterday.

SPEAKER_00 34:43

I haven't talked to Chris in a minute. I'm gonna I'm gonna text Chris and just see how he's doing.

SPEAKER_05 34:47

I think you should. I think you should stop everything you're doing if you think of someone.

SPEAKER_00 34:52

I'm going to Taylor uh vamp for me.

SPEAKER_04 34:55

I don't know what that means. That's true, that's true. And the other thing is, my sister had a baby, but she passed away, so I look over with my wife.

SPEAKER_05 35:03

Hang on, I want to make sure I get this right. It's my time to shine.

SPEAKER_00 35:06

It's too late.

SPEAKER_01 35:10

Wait, can I please get a wobble? Can I please get a wobble?

SPEAKER_00 35:17

Yo, can I please get a wobble?

SPEAKER_05 35:20

Where is it? Shrimp Sharp Tails monologue is literally one of the first things on the thing. All right, are you guys ready? Are you ready?

SPEAKER_00 35:28

I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready.

SPEAKER_04 35:44

It's difficult because I'm working a second shift at the factory to put food on the table. I see that little guy's face.

Bracket Reset And Second Chances

SPEAKER_05 35:53

Okay, continue. Thank you for that. I get to share with the world.

SPEAKER_00 36:00

So today we are establishing our suite 16, and then in episode four, we are officially crowning a champion.

SPEAKER_05 36:09

Perfect.

SPEAKER_00 36:09

But today we need to assign four more artists who have already lost into the bracket. As of right now, your standing champions are from the classic rock section, the one and only Queen. From 90s alternative, we have Red Hot Chili Peppers. Coming in for 2000s Rock Emo and Pop Punk, the one, the only, the legends, Lincoln Park. Coming in for modern rock slash metal, we have the, in my opinion, reigning champions of the world, the one and only Caesar.

SPEAKER_04 36:56

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 36:59

Coming in for rap and hip hop, you guys named him, you guys love him, you gave him the crown. It's Kanye West.

SPEAKER_05 37:10

The one and only. All of you guys should pray for your souls. Who said that? You all should.

SPEAKER_00 37:16

Coming in for modern pop, we have the living legend, the young kid himself, Harry Styles.

SPEAKER_11 37:24

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 37:26

And for your pop icon, the one, the only, the dead, Michael Jackson.

SPEAKER_04 37:33

All right, be.

SPEAKER_00 37:35

And finally, for country and southern rock, the man, the myth, the legend, the guy who we found out we love so so much. So much. Garth Brooks, everybody.

SPEAKER_05 37:50

I got friends in low places that we are. So stop or we'll get copyrighted.

SPEAKER_00 38:01

Written. Chris, Chris did text back. He said, Hey bud, I'm well enough. No more cramps, diarrhea, or vomiting. Still feel like crap, but I'll live. I've just grown out of diapers.

SPEAKER_05 38:13

Oh, proud of him. So hard to potty train him.

SPEAKER_00 38:18

So as of right now, we need to battle it up one more time. We need to pull two people from section one and two people from section two.

SPEAKER_05 38:30

Okay, so how one more time? Run about one more time for me.

SPEAKER_00 38:35

Well, we have four slots right now.

SPEAKER_05 38:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 38:37

So we need two people from this section here of all these artists, and two people from all of this artists. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 38:51

So Queen against Lincoln Park. That's what I'm hearing. Or are we going Queen against red hot chili peppers?

SPEAKER_00 38:58

No, the losers. The losers. We gotta go back through the losers. Two losers from this area and two losers from this area get to move on in the bracket. Do you understand now?

SPEAKER_05 39:14

Yes. Am I just are we just picking losers?

SPEAKER_00 39:17

Yeah. Well, who who do we from each section, who do we feel like deserves a second chance? So in classic rock, we had Queen, Led Zeppelin, AC, DC, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith, Van Halen, and The Who. I agree. I think Pink Floyd deserves a second chance.

SPEAKER_05 39:33

I think Pink Floyd. I think they deserve a second chance.

SPEAKER_00 39:36

In 90s, we have Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, Weezer, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains, and Green Day.

SPEAKER_05 39:46

I'm going I'm going either Pearl Jam or Green Day.

SPEAKER_00 39:50

I that stuff. Gosh, I would say Pearl Jam.

SPEAKER_05 40:03

That's fine. I I am happy with that answer.

SPEAKER_00 40:06

Okay. Now for 2000s, we've got Blink 182, Lincoln Park, My Chemical Romance, Fallout Boy, Paramorph, Sum 41, The Offspring, and Taking Back Someday. In my opinion, Blink. Blink.

SPEAKER_05 40:25

Duh.

unknown 40:26

Duh.

SPEAKER_05 40:26

Sorry, the arch of my foot is so tight, and it's all I can focus on at the moment. Because why is it so tight? What is happening?

SPEAKER_00 40:34

And then we have from modern rock and metal, Shinedown, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, Caesar, Evanescence, System of a Down, Corn, and Avenge Sevenfold.

SPEAKER_05 40:50

I'm gonna be real with you. I would be happy with any of them. Like I don't have one where I'm like like I have a couple where I'm leaning towards. I'm thinking either Shine, honestly, I don't even know if Shine Down. I'm thinking Breaking Benjamin. System of a Down. Or Avenge Sevenfold.

SPEAKER_00 41:11

I know you and Chris were really into saying system of a down when we did this one.

SPEAKER_05 41:16

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 41:17

First.

SPEAKER_05 41:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 41:19

For me, it's between that and breaking Benjamin.

SPEAKER_05 41:22

I I'm happy with either of those.

SPEAKER_00 41:24

I like system of a down for this because I feel like it gives a little more wide wide-ranging option. You know what I mean? Cether and system of a down are so opposite, sort of vocally, melodically. Yes.

SPEAKER_05 41:42

So I like that. I like that answer.

SPEAKER_00 41:45

Now we need to battle Queen or uh Pink Floyd, Pearl Jam, Blink 182, and System of Down. Only two of them get to go on.

SPEAKER_05 42:02

Wow. System up and down is out. Easy. So now we have these three.

SPEAKER_00 42:08

Pink Floyd versus Pearl Jam versus Blink2.

SPEAKER_05 42:14

I'm gonna be so real. It actually was easier than what I thought.

SPEAKER_00 42:17

You think?

SPEAKER_05 42:18

Yeah, I'm going Pink Floyd and Blink. Pink Floyd and Blink for short.

SPEAKER_00 42:24

Okay. Okay. Oh, that's right. We get to bring two over. That's right. Yeah. I'm okay with those two. Yeah, I don't hate that. Um, I don't hate that.

SPEAKER_05 42:36

I'm also looking at like the bigger picture of things of like.

SPEAKER_00 42:41

I wanted to be a tough battle in the Sweet 16.

SPEAKER_05 42:45

That I think that would be a tough battle. I think I'd be super okay with getting rid of Pearl Jam and whatever and system of a down. I think they're great and they all they have their place. But I also think Pink Floyd, one has obviously has been around longer and has like their audience, right? The new, the young, and the old. They all they all know Pink Floyd.

SPEAKER_00 43:12

Fair enough. Fair enough.

SPEAKER_05 43:14

And Blink is so, especially with the Kardashians now, so like no, you know. Okay, alright. I don't know. I don't hate that. I'm on board. Yeah, let's do it. I think it's so funny that my argument was not musical at all. This is a music show. I'm sorry. My bad.

SPEAKER_00 43:39

Well, so I was thinking about it and like I really like My Chemical Romance 2 as an option. Yeah. Um System of a Down is great, but I do bel I regardless, I agree. Pink Floyd has to be.

SPEAKER_05 43:57

Pink Floyd has to be. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 44:00

And I think Blink 182 is better than System of a Down. So for sure.

SPEAKER_05 44:09

Oh, yeah. Also, I'm just picking who I like more. Definitely Pink Floyd and Blink 182.

SPEAKER_00 44:15

Yeah, I agree. No, I don't hate that at all. This next one's gonna be interesting, though. So so we're moving Pink Floyd on and Blink 182. They get a second chance at life.

SPEAKER_05 44:30

Second chance.

SPEAKER_00 44:31

Second chance. Coming in for hip hop and rap, we have Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Outcast, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Dr. Trey, Wu-Tang Clan, run DMC. Do we agree that because it came down to these two last time?

SPEAKER_05 44:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 44:55

Eminem gets a second chance.

SPEAKER_05 44:57

Yeah. It would be wild if we didn't, honestly.

SPEAKER_00 45:00

Number six, I think, is going to be interesting. I feel like this is gonna be a harder choice.

SPEAKER_05 45:04

Not really, I got it.

SPEAKER_00 45:06

Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Chapel Roan, Olivia Rodrigo, Billy Eilish, Dua Lipa, Harry Styles, Lady Gaga.

SPEAKER_05 45:17

Are you are you the one who created? Get Chapel Rowan's name right for the longest time. Was that you? Or am I thinking of someone else?

SPEAKER_00 45:25

I've called her Chapel Rowan on purpose.

SPEAKER_05 45:30

I can't think of who it was, but I know someone who kept saying Chappelle Rowan.

SPEAKER_00 45:37

What?

SPEAKER_05 45:38

And I was like, no, neither of those are right.

SPEAKER_00 45:40

Like Dave Chappelle?

SPEAKER_05 45:42

Chapelle Rowan. But I guess it wasn't you. Anyways, no, dude, I got it. Serena Carpenter all the way. I I'll die on that hill.

SPEAKER_00 45:51

I disagree. I disagree.

SPEAKER_05 45:55

Or if or if you're going catalog-wise, Taylor Swift. Like if we're if we're

Pop Picks Rap Debates And AI Risks

SPEAKER_05 46:02

going different, like because she has so many different styles.

SPEAKER_00 46:06

Do I think that Taylor Swift should go through? I really do. But I also don't want it on a fundamental level.

SPEAKER_05 46:14

No, that's fair. But think I'm I'm gonna think musically for you. Think of her catalog. We started in country, right? And yes, a majority of her stuff is now pop, but then you have those others that it's like that that like dark, right? Dark. You have more of a folky thing, like you have options.

SPEAKER_00 46:33

I guess my big worry is that because of opinions, Taylor Swift going forward would be like a worthless decision. You know what I mean? It's not gonna be a good battle coming up because like Taylor Swift's not going on.

SPEAKER_05 46:54

This is true, and you guys also all hate Sabrina Carpenter, so I guess we can choose someone else. It cannot be Chapel.

SPEAKER_00 47:01

I definitely don't hate Sabrina Carpenter. I've defended her several times.

SPEAKER_05 47:05

I I also agree with her catalog that she has.

SPEAKER_00 47:08

I'm gonna be honest with you. This is not even me being like a fan by any means, because I really don't care for her either. But Billy Eyelash. I really think Billie Eyelash might be honestly the deserved one here.

SPEAKER_05 47:25

I don't hate that. I I also don't not like Billie Eyelash. I need everyone to know she it's just not my type of music. I don't listen to her stuff. I think she's a great lady, great gal.

SPEAKER_00 47:37

I think that she created a sound. Anytime an artist creates a sound that immediately starts getting replicated and becomes known as that person's sound. Yes, like she changed the pop industry. She did for she came in with bad guy and it was crazy. Literally, how many people came out like in the next two years after that song and they were just trying to re doing Billy Eilish?

SPEAKER_05 48:04

Yeah, I know, I agree. I also think she's created a look. I and I I love her her like her on a fundamental scale, why she did the look that she did for so long. I think that's a really awesome thing that people need to talk about more in the music industry. Do you know the story behind it?

SPEAKER_00 48:22

I do, of course.

SPEAKER_05 48:24

Of course I do. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 48:25

I also love that she does those interviews with with the puppies. No, no, she does this interview every every so often, like so many years or whatever, she does an interview with the same questions with Vanity Fair. Vanity Fair, yeah, yeah. I love those interviews. I think that's such a cool way to like document an artist expression.

SPEAKER_05 48:48

And they're so random, too. Yeah, really random.

SPEAKER_00 48:52

I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 48:53

No, I like that.

SPEAKER_00 48:54

I like doing my lot. And her and Harry Styles, very kind of again, polar opposite spectrum.

SPEAKER_05 49:01

Polar opposite. So I do, I like that. I do like that. I like that a lot. Yeah. As long as it wasn't Chapel Rone. Guys, I am a Chapel Rhone hater and I'll die on that.

SPEAKER_00 49:10

Pink Pony Club, dude. You can save it. I could do without all of it. You can save the colour. I also treated her fans. I I could give a shit less about her as a person. Pink Pony Club is an incredible song.

SPEAKER_05 49:27

Oh it just sucks because I wish someone else wrote it. I can still do without it.

SPEAKER_00 49:32

Eh. Again, I just I don't get into the whole like artist part of it. That's fair. You separated music. The music.

SPEAKER_05 49:42

And and hers just isn't good.

SPEAKER_00 49:44

So H-O-T-T-O-G-O though.

SPEAKER_05 49:47

I can do without it. Anything that Kids Bop can do better, you can go.

SPEAKER_00 49:51

I'm be honest with you. Pony Club. I think Pony Club's real fucking good.

SPEAKER_05 49:56

Next one. You're a little gay?

SPEAKER_00 50:01

I think so. I think I might be.

SPEAKER_05 50:03

I've been saying that.

SPEAKER_00 50:06

Pop icons. This one's gonna be interesting.

unknown 50:10

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 50:11

Yep. I I alright, perfect. Let me see.

SPEAKER_00 50:15

Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince, Whitney Houston, Elton John, Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder, Cindy Lauber.

SPEAKER_05 50:25

I'm I'm going. It's either between Prince or Stevie Wonder. For me personally.

SPEAKER_00 50:34

So you don't seem racist.

SPEAKER_05 50:37

Yeah, because I'm wonderful the white guy wins, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 50:43

I I would go Prince, if anything. Dare I say.

SPEAKER_05 50:50

Does that make us ableist? Do you see what I'm playing?

SPEAKER_00 50:52

But hear me out. Dare I say, I don't really care about any of them going forward. Do we pull an Audible right now and pull another artist from another of these genres? Only the pop icon goes forward.

SPEAKER_04 51:10

We make the rules.

SPEAKER_00 51:13

I think you had to if you had to pick one of these sections to pull another person from who deserves three people moving forward from one genre.

SPEAKER_02 51:33

I'm going.

SPEAKER_05 51:35

It's either between hip hop or country.

SPEAKER_00 51:39

See, I was thinking hip-hop and modern pop. I think both of them have some heavy hitters that perfect.

SPEAKER_05 51:45

I'm I'm good with modern pop where it's at because I actually, other than Sabrina Carpenter or Taylor Swift, do not care either way. Like I think Billy Billy Eilish and Harry Styles is I think that's good.

SPEAKER_00 51:59

Do we do the do we do the trifecta and move Dr. Dre forward with Eminem and Kanye?

SPEAKER_05 52:06

Do we just be I low-key was thinking Kendrick Lamar, but I don't hate that.

SPEAKER_00 52:10

Oh, I do like Kendrick Lamar.

SPEAKER_05 52:12

I love Kendrick Lamar. I really do.

SPEAKER_00 52:14

Or Alcast. And like Lil Wayne isn't on here, so yeah, Outcast would be a good option too.

SPEAKER_05 52:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 52:23

I'll leave that up to you. I'm up for either Kendrick, Outcast, or Dr. Dre.

SPEAKER_05 52:28

I oh, where'd you go? I don't know much of darn. I don't know much of Dr. Dre's catalog. I'm gonna be honest with you. So Kendrick Lamar or Outcast, if I had to choose between which I prefer, one, it depends on the mood because Outcast, I'm not gonna lie. Sometimes when you really listen to lyrics, they hit deep, dude. They hit deep. So if I want to be deep in thought and like really like being thankful for what I have, I would choose outcast.

SPEAKER_00 52:56

Roses and like poo-ooh ooh. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_05 52:59

If I'm jamming, it's gonna be good.

SPEAKER_00 53:02

Sorry, Miss Jackson.

SPEAKER_01 53:04

I am for real.

SPEAKER_00 53:06

Never meant to make a doctor crop.

SPEAKER_05 53:12

I I'm gonna go Kendra Lamar.

SPEAKER_00 53:15

Fair enough.

SPEAKER_05 53:15

I just I loved him and Drake's feud.

SPEAKER_11 53:22

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_05 53:23

And nothing will nothing will top a minor. I'm so sorry. Nothing will top it.

SPEAKER_00 53:29

Well, you heard it here first, everybody. Taylor Dunn forgot about Dra.

SPEAKER_05 53:34

Forgot about him. Locked in my phone.

SPEAKER_00 53:38

Country, country, and Southern Rock.

SPEAKER_05 53:41

Can I tell you who I was going to choose as my top three?

SPEAKER_00 53:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 53:46

For country. Garth Brooks, Dolly Parton, Alabama. No. No. Garth Brooks, Alabama, Zach Robband. Let me rephrase it.

SPEAKER_00 53:57

Okay. That's better. Anything to not have Dolly Parton in the mix, if you ask me.

SPEAKER_01 54:02

Nine to five.

SPEAKER_00 54:05

You think she's fake? I think she's a product. I don't want to say that she's fake, but I do believe that she's a product. I don't think that she meant to be a product, but I think once she realized she was, she immediately got on board.

SPEAKER_05 54:27

Honestly, don't hate the player, hate the game. You know what I'm saying? I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 54:32

I had a fantastic interview yesterday with the guitar player Blake from the band Joyous Wolf. And we had a really great discussion about AI and kind of what we were talking about, how the the one story that we read about how Sony is suing over AI and the training model. And we were talking about how the industry it is very dangerous for the industry because of the fact that moving forward, the industry leaders could now basically bring on image artists where they're not because they're they already do that now. You don't necessarily have to have talent, you have to have a brand.

SPEAKER_05 55:26

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 55:26

They build talent around the brand.

SPEAKER_05 55:28

At Britney Spears. I mean, there you would be able to just do something already like that.

SPEAKER_00 55:54

Yeah, there is, but not to the scale that we were talking about.

SPEAKER_05 55:57

But imagine a world, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 55:59

No, no, sorry, don't have a world where Sony or or Capitol Records, we'll just say Capital Records. Imagine a world where Capitol Records could pull one of your friends from Starbucks, yeah, and be like, we want to make you the next Taylor Swift. And then your friend is like, I don't know how to sing, I don't know how to play an instrument, and they're like, none of that matters.

SPEAKER_05 56:25

Just need your face.

SPEAKER_00 56:27

We just need and the body yada yadda. Yeah. Could you imagine a world where that happens full scale all the time because the AI builds these monstrosities?

SPEAKER_04 56:40

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 56:42

So that is something where I think he's right. Like that is very, very dangerous.

SPEAKER_01 56:48

Slippery slope.

SPEAKER_00 56:49

It is a very slippery slope. And unfortunately, it seems like we're on the downward part of that slope, and then we don't have any breaks.

SPEAKER_05 57:00

So AI's a monster. I've been trying to tell everybody no one wants to listen.

SPEAKER_00 57:04

That being said, we did also have part of that discussion was talking about how useful it could be in the industry. Because, like, also as an artist, imagine anyone who has experience going to like a studio completely understands this scenario. You go to a studio, you have your song written, you go in, you lay down your vocals, and then let's say it's just you and you don't have a band, right? Yes. Now you have to pay for somebody to come in and do guitar, somebody come in and play drums, yada yada, all that stuff, right?

SPEAKER_11 57:36

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 57:37

Then you also have to pay for mixing the guy to sit behind the board and mix everything together, and mastering the guy to sit there and tweak everything to get it to sound perfect. Now, those last two steps is where I think AI could be a tool that could be utilized in a fantastic way, doing the tedious stuff that costs us a lot of money as musicians. The mastering and mixing part of that process is the most expensive part of that process. Yes. So if you have an AI who could basically take the track, listen to it, and say, Here are all of the edits that need to be made. Like the tedious stuff, not like adding effects or whatever, but to be like, you need to pan the volume 20% on this note here. You need to clip this here. Like being able to do that in moments could potentially save so much money across the board for artists.

SPEAKER_05 58:37

I agree, but then I also look on, and I think about this a lot with everything AI. I look on the other side, and I know that there are like bloodthirsty people out there that are just draining musicians for everything they have, but then you have to think about how tedious that job is. Do you know what I mean? Like there's a reason things cost that much. You have to think of the time, the energy, and that itself takes talent to hear that and say this needs to change.

SPEAKER_00 59:01

Yeah, yeah. No, then like I do agree with that, but imagine those producers and and yes, executives being able to reallocate that tedious time. That's my thing. But I'm they've developed that squill, but this is also for them to be like, yeah, you give me your track, I run it through the thing, and then that part is done, and they can focus on the creativity part, which is like adding the instrumentals in the background and the things that I agree about. Yeah, you get what I'm saying? Yeah, I get it. If you remove like the tedious task of like just putting everything together structurally, and they get to be more creative and focusing and get more work done, I think it's a win-win for everybody.

SPEAKER_05 59:44

That I that I agree with, that I agree with, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 59:48

Anyways, Johnny Cash, if you ask me, is who should move on. No, I'm no, no, I'm kidding.

SPEAKER_05 59:57

Zach Brown band all the way.

SPEAKER_00 59:59

Zach Brown band? I was I was thinking Alabama, but I would concede for Zach Brown.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:05

I am okay with both. I prefer Zach Brownman out of the two.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:09

Fair enough. Zach Brown it is.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:11

Um I can't believe you said Johnny Cash was great. And you know what? It's gonna sound awful.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:16

And I know I know he's great, I get that.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:21

I know that he's you know a founding father, I get that, but the the rage for a long time, the rage that entered my body when you said that was insane.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:32

Because what do you mean? Sooner or later, Gato.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:35

Cut you down, it's like I know those two songs.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:39

Like I hurt myself today, didn't he like sell his soul to somebody? No, no, you're thinking of somebody else. Robert Johnson supposedly sold his soul to the devil. I mean, Kanye sold himself, but I think he sold himself to Hitler.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:03

He sold himself to the Illuminati, you didn't know that. That's why his mom died. Yep, that was the price he had to pay to be famous. She went into plastic surgery and never came back. That's why he always had a fit every time Kim went into plastic surgery.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:17

Interesting. Interesting. So, anyways, so anyhow. Zach Brown band. Now we've got to battle out here. Eminem, Kendrick Lamar versus Billy Eilish and Zach Brown. I'm gonna be completely honest with you. I sold myself so hard on Billie Eilish. I want to see.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:47

No, she has to move forward. No, she has to. She is she has to go forward. I agree.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:52

Kendrick Lamar, Eminem versus Zach Brown. I think Zach Brown doesn't make it. I'm gonna be real.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:58

I agree. I agree. Zach Brown out. I'm I'm happy with Garth Brooks.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:02

And now we're back to where we were last.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:06

I'm going I'm going Nimmin M because I think it's just so funny of him and Kanye go up against again.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:11

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:12

I'm happy with I'm happy with I'm happy with Nim and M and I'm happy with Billy Eilash.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:18

Okay, all right. Should we just sports team?

SPEAKER_05 1:02:25

I'm really good at this bracket thing.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:28

Start doing March Madness together.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:30

Ah, we should, but it's not marching band, and you don't tell me that going in.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:36

So listen, here's the part for the listener that I want you guys to hear. You get to directly influence the results this time. I am gonna put all of these names on here, and I'm gonna put it up every single day until we get around to making part four of this. And we're this is gonna be a standstill until we get enough votes to definitively determine.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:02

Get that Excel spreadsheet,

Final Matchups And Listener Voting

SPEAKER_05 1:03:03

SPEAKER_00 1:03:04

So if if you're listening, you're gonna have to go to our social media and vote. We need actual votes. You can vote on Instagram, you can vote on Patreon, you can vote on YouTube. I think that's it. But and you know what?

SPEAKER_01 1:03:19

While you're going to go vote on Instagram, hit the follow button too.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:23

But you can vote on all of those platforms. This does not move on until we get enough votes that I determine is enough.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:32

I want we're at a standstill.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:34

I want a hundred votes.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:36

I was gonna say 50, but all right.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:38

I'm asking for a hundred votes from across all platforms. So we will we will leave it at a standstill, a cliffhanger, okay, until we get that 100. And then Taylor, Chris, and myself will be the final deciding factor. You your opinion definitely goes into play.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:57

It's like a democracy. We actually do get the final say, though.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:00

Yeah, yeah. Pretty much. We are the electoral college.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:05

And no recounts will be held, okay?

SPEAKER_00 1:04:07

But your your vote matters. You your vote has a huge say in how this goes forward. Okay. So we're looking for a hundred votes, guys. I'm gonna be putting this up, and it'll be up every single day.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:22

Everyone go put in the comments that you want Sabrina Carpenter on here too, and we'll add another bracket when we get 18.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:44

I feel as excited about this bracket as I did when we did the Battle of the Bands.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:49

Yes, I loved it. Gosh, I can't wait until our NDA ends and we can air out the drama on that. Am I right?

SPEAKER_00 1:04:58

Oh, it's over. We could air that out on the fourth bracket episode.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:04

Everyone join the Patreon. Send me every person who sends me $50, I will give you the deepest, dirtiest secrets of this show. Each individual person.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:17

Speaking of Patreon, just so everyone listening knows, Patreon is a free thing to sign up for. You do not have to pay for it. Yes, and so you know how like people do discords and shit like that. I'm not doing that because on our Patreon, we have a group chat going. So if you want to join in on the chaos and talk to us directly, that group chat is open. All you gotta do is sign up and go over to Patreon and talk with us, like we're over there.
