good stuff. And most important, Lee, important,

00:00:26.289 --> 00:00:29.030
Lee, Lee, we'll add that on, sure. I would like

00:00:29.030 --> 00:00:31.570
to introduce my - Make it the adverb. Make it

00:00:31.570 --> 00:00:34.670
the verb, adverb. I would like to introduce my

00:00:34.670 --> 00:00:37.810
co -host, producer. All -around amazing dude,

00:00:38.070 --> 00:00:40.130
Aidan Maloney. How are you, man? Oh, doing pretty

00:00:40.130 --> 00:00:43.329
alright. Chilling. A lot of rain. Yeah. In the

00:00:43.329 --> 00:00:47.630
old Midwest U .S. of A. It's become a problem.

00:00:48.450 --> 00:00:51.409
I've had about enough. Yeah. Had about enough.

00:00:51.750 --> 00:00:55.530
My backyard, which, hey, gamers out there with

00:00:55.530 --> 00:00:59.100
clay soil. You know what's up. It's bad. My backyard

00:00:59.100 --> 00:01:01.439
has become a swimming pool that I didn't want

00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:05.480
installed. So that's kind of a problem. Oh, for

00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:07.480
sure. But this year I'll put one of them fancy

00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:10.799
French drains in there. Oui, oui. Oui, oui. Yeah.

00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:15.579
So that hopefully will alleviate the issue because

00:01:15.579 --> 00:01:18.840
it's like flooding by the garage, which can be

00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.159
a problem because it's just like a concrete slab

00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:24.120
that houses the garage, right? Right. You know,

00:01:24.379 --> 00:01:29.439
water can be el problema if you let it. So that's

00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:32.319
anti -bueno, as we say in the biz. Regardless

00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:36.519
of all that, chilling. I would say, chilling.

00:01:36.579 --> 00:01:38.680
I like that. Yeah, I got off to a rough start

00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:41.859
today myself. You were telling me this morning,

00:01:41.900 --> 00:01:44.459
you're like, hey, I'm heading over. Please tell

00:01:44.459 --> 00:01:47.099
me you have caffeine. I was like, of course I

00:01:47.099 --> 00:01:49.859
have caffeine. I, too, am an addict. Yeah, oh,

00:01:49.859 --> 00:01:53.810
for sure. We had the idea that we would kind

00:01:53.810 --> 00:01:56.170
of get an early start. We're going to be recording

00:01:56.170 --> 00:01:58.709
several things today. So I was like, yeah, about

00:01:58.709 --> 00:02:01.670
eight o 'clock. Now, to be fair, I was definitely

00:02:01.670 --> 00:02:04.290
up in time to make said eight o 'clock time.

00:02:04.870 --> 00:02:07.950
But there was an elephant that was sitting in

00:02:07.950 --> 00:02:09.930
the middle of my head. Sure. And I was like,

00:02:09.930 --> 00:02:13.110
ah, this is brutal. Probably no. And I thought,

00:02:13.449 --> 00:02:17.669
OK, I didn't drink that much last night. I didn't

00:02:17.669 --> 00:02:20.669
sleep weird. Nothing else hurts. I'm like, ah.

00:02:21.140 --> 00:02:23.120
Oh, caffeine. Caffeine, yeah. Because I've been

00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:28.240
weaning myself. And it's a problem. Yeah. At

00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:29.900
least you're not cold turkeying, because that

00:02:29.900 --> 00:02:32.919
can actually be dangerous in certain aspects.

00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:37.319
Oh, sure. But yeah, that's tough. I was talking

00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:39.560
with my coworkers, a couple of them on different

00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:41.860
occasions, because I'm always out there. I'm

00:02:41.860 --> 00:02:44.039
bringing two energy drinks a day just to get

00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:47.000
through the shift. And they're like, hey, when's

00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:50.039
the last time you didn't have one? And I was

00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:56.620
like, I think I've had coffee or an energy drink

00:02:56.620 --> 00:03:02.699
every day of my life, probably since I was 17,

00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:06.120
16 or 17. There's not been a day I've not consumed

00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.099
caffeine since then. Oh, for sure. Yeah. I would

00:03:09.099 --> 00:03:12.560
agree with that. I cannot remember up until just

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.199
recently. Like I've been doing a lot of grocery

00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:17.639
shopping. Money's a little tight, so you know,

00:03:17.699 --> 00:03:19.719
you have to, you can only buy certain things.

00:03:20.500 --> 00:03:24.039
And this last time out, I didn't get Diet Pepsi,

00:03:24.340 --> 00:03:30.020
which is usually, I mainline that shit. And so

00:03:30.020 --> 00:03:36.099
I really had like one pop one day, and then the

00:03:36.099 --> 00:03:39.229
following day, like another pop. I usually do

00:03:39.229 --> 00:03:41.750
three or four cans a day. Sure. And that doesn't

00:03:41.750 --> 00:03:43.830
even include maybe a stop at the coffee shop

00:03:43.830 --> 00:03:46.530
or whatever. So that's kind of my intake usually.

00:03:46.530 --> 00:03:49.789
You're talking like 200 mils. At least. Of caffeine

00:03:49.789 --> 00:03:52.090
a day. And then you're cutting it back to 30.

00:03:52.969 --> 00:03:57.240
Yeah. It was it was an issue for sure. So I think

00:03:57.240 --> 00:03:59.620
that was the biggest issue. I typically don't

00:03:59.620 --> 00:04:02.379
take like ibuprofen or anything for a caffeine

00:04:02.379 --> 00:04:04.759
headache. OK, just caffeine is what will make

00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:07.599
this go away. But today I had to. I was like,

00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:09.900
man, this hurts too much. I got I got to, you

00:04:09.900 --> 00:04:12.240
know, get some ibuprofen in there. Well, we pull

00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:15.740
around. We pull. We did. Yeah, well, we often

00:04:15.740 --> 00:04:19.720
find that when we do this show and we've done

00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:21.959
this podcast and before it was a podcast, it

00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:25.779
was a radio show. Here in lovely Valparaiso,

00:04:25.860 --> 00:04:31.639
Indiana and So years yeah eight years just shy

00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:34.639
of a decade. Yeah, we've been we've been making

00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:39.019
content in general and what I tend to find is

00:04:39.019 --> 00:04:43.319
When we're in rough shape either hangover hungover

00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:47.399
tipsy or in pain somewhere, right? just in a

00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:50.240
vulnerable state. And it tends to be some of

00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:52.920
our best content. I can't explain it. It just,

00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:55.560
we just kind of, maybe we just kind of screw

00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:57.620
in more because we're like, oh man, you know,

00:04:57.620 --> 00:04:59.839
I don't want this to sound bad. And we either

00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:02.399
focus or we just take the gloves off and we're

00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:04.540
like, whatever. That's what I was thinking. It's

00:05:04.540 --> 00:05:06.600
like, because it's tougher to lock in when you're

00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:09.029
already dealing with something else. Sure. Going

00:05:09.029 --> 00:05:10.870
on. Yeah. So I think it's one of those things

00:05:10.870 --> 00:05:13.250
where your brain is like, a percentage of it

00:05:13.250 --> 00:05:15.829
is focused on like, I'm either in pain or I'm

00:05:15.829 --> 00:05:19.550
uncomfortable. So there's less filter. And it's

00:05:19.550 --> 00:05:21.610
just more stream of consciousness, just like,

00:05:22.149 --> 00:05:25.269
okay, I gotta be funny right now. Exactly. Can

00:05:25.269 --> 00:05:28.230
I make this happen? Can this happen? You know,

00:05:28.329 --> 00:05:32.589
can we use my pain as part of this comedy bit?

00:05:32.610 --> 00:05:36.110
Right. Right. And we do. We try to. We do. We

00:05:36.110 --> 00:05:39.540
try to. Yeah. But anyway, we're so glad that

00:05:39.540 --> 00:05:42.740

fund us coming down there, though... Now that's

00:07:19.819 --> 00:07:22.680
an idea. That's a tremendous idea. Plant the

00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:24.740
seed, maybe it grows. Maybe it grows. Yeah. I

00:07:24.740 --> 00:07:27.959
think that's fair. At Curacao. At Curacao, let's

00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:33.620
go. But hey, so let's do this. Let's talk about

00:07:33.620 --> 00:07:36.839
Aidan's gaming channel on YouTube. Aidan spelled

00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:39.860
the right way. So number one, spelled the right

00:07:39.860 --> 00:07:41.160
way. Spelled the right way to find it, yeah.

00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:43.459
Yeah, spelled the right way to find it. He's

00:07:43.459 --> 00:07:46.000
got PC, gaming content, GeoGuessr, PolyBridge,

00:07:46.300 --> 00:07:48.939
Observation Duty. Much much more every week a

00:07:48.939 --> 00:07:51.879
lot of horror games that he was in that horror

00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:55.860
horror Come on get get clear your ears out. Yeah

00:07:55.860 --> 00:07:58.319
mind out of the gutter mind out of the gutter

00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:02.079
golly Like any of our listeners would have their

00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:04.680
minds. I only play horror games on my own time

00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:11.879
on my own So in what what's coming up well this

00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:14.439
the last two weeks. I've only had two uploads

00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:19.220
on my main channel because We took some time

00:08:19.220 --> 00:08:24.240
off for St. Patrick's Day. I've rearranged, redecorated,

00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:27.579
redone the A &M studio. The studio looks awesome.

00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:30.740
And I'm super happy with how it looks, which

00:08:30.740 --> 00:08:34.299
is fantastic because that was my goal. I want

00:08:34.299 --> 00:08:37.500
to make it prettier and more functional, which

00:08:37.500 --> 00:08:41.129
I believe has... Gone fantastically. I think

00:08:41.129 --> 00:08:43.870
so so we will be getting back to the regularly

00:08:43.870 --> 00:08:46.470
scheduled program of two to three uploads per

00:08:46.470 --> 00:08:50.049
week I played this game Went up on Tuesday this

00:08:50.049 --> 00:08:53.950
past Tuesday. It was called liminal exit. Oh,

00:08:54.470 --> 00:08:58.389
so it's like this horror experience Yeah, if

00:08:58.389 --> 00:09:02.649
you will of like liminal spaces, right if you're

00:09:02.649 --> 00:09:06.210
familiar with those. Mm -hmm, and it's anomaly

00:09:06.210 --> 00:09:10.620
hunting within these Weird liminal nonsensical

00:09:10.620 --> 00:09:13.720
kind of spaces that just kind of feels like a

00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:18.480
dream hinting at nightmare Sure, which I I love

00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:20.600
the concept of so then yeah, that's probably

00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:22.440
one of my longer uploads in a while I think I

00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:25.940
played for two hours and the cut down video was

00:09:25.940 --> 00:09:28.440
like an hour 20 or something like that Super

00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.679
fun though, and then of course we've got Geo

00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:33.879
guests are always coming up. I never finished

00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:36.179
poly bridge But I was doing like the the low

00:09:36.179 --> 00:09:38.860
stress challenges rather than the low budget

00:09:38.860 --> 00:09:40.700
challenges Which I really like I'll return to

00:09:40.700 --> 00:09:42.940
those at some point, but yeah, just trying to

00:09:42.940 --> 00:09:45.799
mix it up and keep it fresh I love that yeah,

00:09:46.019 --> 00:09:48.039
and it's a lot of fun, and that's the that's

00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:50.899
the whole point of a lot of these gaming sites

00:09:50.899 --> 00:09:52.480
You know whether you're on YouTube or twitch

00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:55.620
or anything else is that you know it's fun to

00:09:55.620 --> 00:09:59.299
see the gaming content I like A lot of the content

00:09:59.299 --> 00:10:04.820
you do, I also like gamers that do kind of the

00:10:04.820 --> 00:10:09.539
RP kind of gaming that take, for example, like

00:10:09.539 --> 00:10:15.000
a GTA V map and they're able to mod it. And those

00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:18.379
are a lot of fun, too. Being able to watch that

00:10:18.379 --> 00:10:22.100
and just all the crazy things that they incorporate

00:10:22.100 --> 00:10:28.179
into their mod. It's so much fun. That's like

00:10:28.179 --> 00:10:30.860
one of my favorite upsides, too, of PC gaming.

00:10:33.700 --> 00:10:37.059
Granted, I grew up. We both grew up on consoles,

00:10:37.139 --> 00:10:41.019
right? But that's kind of the freedom of PC gaming

00:10:41.019 --> 00:10:44.320
is you're so much more unlocked. Right? Because

00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:48.320
you own your PC. Sure. Whereas if you have a

00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:51.080
console, sure, you can jailbreak it. Yeah. Oh,

00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:52.379
yeah. And it would kind of function more like

00:10:52.379 --> 00:10:57.399
a PC. But it's just a it's a Microsoft product

00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:01.759
or a Samsung product. Correct. You know, or not

00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:03.340
Samsung, but Sony. You know what I'm saying?

00:11:04.500 --> 00:11:08.779
And the mod scene on PC gaming is just so fascinating

00:11:08.779 --> 00:11:13.110
and fun. Yeah. Like the crazy even. Even like

00:11:13.110 --> 00:11:15.730
offline games like Skyrim, like the modding scene

00:11:15.730 --> 00:11:19.690
on that is so nuts. Like they're a creative like,

00:11:19.950 --> 00:11:22.269
cause you're like a magician and you're running

00:11:22.269 --> 00:11:25.490
around this fighting dragons and shit. And there's

00:11:25.490 --> 00:11:29.090
just little mods where it changes like your power

00:11:29.090 --> 00:11:34.090
shouts to like fart sounds. And it's like, that's

00:11:34.090 --> 00:11:36.919
something we never get on console. Sure, it's

00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:39.080
not true. Yeah, but you know what? It's fucking

00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:42.179
funny Yeah, oh, yeah, it's silly. That's goofy,

00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:45.840
and I like it absolutely I would agree 100 %

00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:49.240
And if you like gaming content in addition to

00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:52.460
Aidan's channel. We have done a collab We thought

00:11:52.460 --> 00:11:55.519
hey why not take all this great gaming action

00:11:55.519 --> 00:12:01.679
and all of the goofiness silliness Outright comedy

00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:09.820
yeah of the Mark Mo Show. I love anti -punch

00:12:09.820 --> 00:12:14.080
lines. Oh my god. Yep. Oh yeah. So we have a

00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:17.139
little something called A &M Gaming. So imagine

00:12:17.139 --> 00:12:19.259
like Texas A &M, we just took the Texas out.

00:12:20.179 --> 00:12:22.379
Or A &W, but you flip it upside down. But you

00:12:22.379 --> 00:12:24.600
flip it upside down and the logo is kind of cool.

00:12:24.980 --> 00:12:26.580
So you should go there to look at the logo and

00:12:26.580 --> 00:12:29.620
then consume all of our... Maybe subscribe. Maybe

00:12:29.620 --> 00:12:32.580
subscribe and... We're on the long road, marching

00:12:32.580 --> 00:12:35.740
towards 100 subscribers on each channel, which...

00:12:35.740 --> 00:12:38.139
Absolutely. Hey, be a part of history. Be part

00:12:38.139 --> 00:12:41.559

00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:45.720
100th. Be the 100th. So yeah, so we do a lot

00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:50.259
of games. that Aiden does on his gaming channel

00:12:50.259 --> 00:12:53.889
as well. We like to do games where you don't

00:12:53.889 --> 00:12:57.629
have to be so screwed in because then we can't

00:12:57.629 --> 00:12:59.730
have that back and forth. Sure. It's just kind

00:12:59.730 --> 00:13:02.929
of fun and funny and whatever. So we do a lot

00:13:02.929 --> 00:13:05.830
of games where we can kind of have casual conversation

00:13:05.830 --> 00:13:08.149
as we're playing them. It's like GeoGuessr is

00:13:08.149 --> 00:13:12.190
a good one for that. Yeah. There is, I'm trying

00:13:12.190 --> 00:13:15.009
to think... GeoGuessr, Observation Duty. Observation

00:13:15.009 --> 00:13:18.870
Duty. We've been playing Dream Daddy. Dream Daddy.

00:13:19.110 --> 00:13:21.100
Yeah, we're getting back to that. matter of fact.

00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:24.399
So if you tune into A &M gaming next week, you're

00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:27.200
going to find some new content up there for Dream

00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:29.460
Daddy. We got to find out what our guy's up to.

00:13:29.620 --> 00:13:31.960
Damn right. He's kind of all over the board right

00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:35.659
now. So I think we're going to be making some

00:13:35.659 --> 00:13:37.799
choices for him soon. Some tough decisions. Some

00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:43.480
tough decisions, I think. And if you listen,

00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:47.379
you know exactly who that is, for sure. Because

00:13:47.379 --> 00:13:52.080
the Dream Daddy, as it were, is a Kind of a storyboard

00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:55.019
game. Yeah, yeah, yeah kind of like this role

00:13:55.019 --> 00:14:00.460
-playing game Yeah story yeah as as it were a

00:14:00.460 --> 00:14:03.720
visual novel right yeah daddy single now, and

00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.100
we're trying to get him number one trying to

00:14:07.100 --> 00:14:10.279
get him a life Yeah, clearly does not have one

00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:13.139
But also kind of maybe trying to get him to hook

00:14:13.139 --> 00:14:15.899
up at some point exactly with the fellow dad,

00:14:15.940 --> 00:14:18.620
but we have been we have been picky This is true.

00:14:18.820 --> 00:14:20.860
We have been picky, but I think - We stand by

00:14:20.860 --> 00:14:23.779
our laurels. We certainly do, we certainly do.

00:14:24.259 --> 00:14:26.820
There's definitely one character who was a little

00:14:26.820 --> 00:14:29.600
rapey as he kinda was very aggressive on a set

00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:32.200
of stairs with us, and I think we bailed out

00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:34.440
of that one. Yeah, we just - we bounced. Yeah,

00:14:34.539 --> 00:14:36.519
that dude - Stunned on principle. Yeah. Plead

00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:39.320
his cards too quickly, and uh - He was borderline

00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:43.779
creepy. Yeah. Us, Garcon McGinnis, decided -

00:14:43.580 --> 00:14:45.940
I'm not really the one night stand type of guy.

00:14:45.940 --> 00:14:48.059
So we just bounced we bounced we got out of there

00:14:48.059 --> 00:14:51.080
Yeah, that was that was a bit much for us And

00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:53.480
then just a lot of other really interesting characters

00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:56.399
that we voice and so we've that's the fun part

00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:59.460
That's the challenge was as these characters

00:14:59.460 --> 00:15:02.059
came, you know developed and came onto the screen

00:15:02.059 --> 00:15:05.019
We immediately had to come up with a voice and

00:15:05.019 --> 00:15:07.519
sometimes you see their voice line before the

00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:09.759
character shows up Cuz you and you don't know

00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:12.120
and you have to give them a voice we have decided

00:15:12.409 --> 00:15:15.730
That once a voice is said it's committed. It's

00:15:15.730 --> 00:15:19.429
committed So I had a voice for the teenage daughter.

00:15:19.889 --> 00:15:23.990
I made Aiden play the dad. Yeah, which is Funny

00:15:23.990 --> 00:15:26.250
and so I'm like, okay, I'll do the teenage daughter

00:15:26.250 --> 00:15:29.370
But then she had a line come up without her being

00:15:29.370 --> 00:15:31.649
on the screen and we didn't know who it was,

00:15:31.649 --> 00:15:36.289
right? So I the says to play a drunk person and

00:15:36.289 --> 00:15:39.490
then she pops up I'm like, alright, so she's

00:15:39.490 --> 00:15:41.629
been she's been she's been hitting the sauce.

00:15:41.669 --> 00:15:43.509
She's been hitting the sauce She's under a lot

00:15:43.509 --> 00:15:45.389
of stress. So we're and she's a teenager. So

00:15:45.389 --> 00:15:48.149
we'll give it to her. Yeah But yeah, we do a

00:15:48.149 --> 00:15:49.850
lot of fun stuff like that. So I think it's it's

00:15:49.850 --> 00:15:53.399
a fun watch. Yes It definitely is. So make sure

00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:56.139

00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:00.580
out. Like, subscribe, all that kind of good stuff.

00:16:01.379 --> 00:16:05.700
Now, last show, which was season six premiere.

00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:09.759
We had a guest on the show. our friend Castile,

00:16:09.860 --> 00:16:15.179
known as Kast, and she helped us with our March

00:16:15.179 --> 00:16:19.279
band -ness. So we kind of did like a basketball

00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:21.480
style bracket, but we did it with bands from

00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:23.980
different genres. And so we started out with

00:16:23.980 --> 00:16:26.779
64, we got down to the Sweet 16. So the Sweet

00:16:26.779 --> 00:16:31.980
16 is today. Yes. It is today. So the categories

00:16:31.980 --> 00:16:35.480
are hip hop, metal hard rock, alt slash grunge,

00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:40.799
and top 40. Got 16 left. 16 tough ones. There

00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:45.000
can only be one. There can be only one. So this

00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:46.980
is going to be interesting. This is the big one.

00:16:47.179 --> 00:16:50.840
This is the big one. So let's go to that. Should

00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:54.399
we review who is left in each bracket? Sure.

00:16:54.539 --> 00:16:56.940
Give the people a little context. Yeah. You want

00:16:56.940 --> 00:17:00.879
to fly through those? Yes. So in our hip hop

00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:04.259
bracket, we have number one seed Eminem. Killer.

00:17:04.660 --> 00:17:08.299
Number five seed Mac Miller. three seed future

00:17:08.299 --> 00:17:12.140
and two seed kendrick lamar blue bloods man all

00:17:12.140 --> 00:17:15.380
good stuff oh yeah in the metal slash hard rock

00:17:15.380 --> 00:17:19.380
we've got one seed metallica four seed foo fighters

00:17:19.380 --> 00:17:23.480
six seed tool and two seed iron maiden Now, let

00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:26.400
me clear this out, because I didn't say this

00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:29.079
in the intro to this. These are bands that are

00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:31.460
active. They're making music, they're on tours,

00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:33.859
they're doing stuff like that. So for example,

00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:35.480
if we're doing this and somebody's like, where

00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:37.299
the hell is Black Sabbath? Well, there is no

00:17:37.299 --> 00:17:39.299
more. I mean, there is Black Sabbath. They're

00:17:39.299 --> 00:17:40.900
not active, they're not touring, they're not

00:17:40.900 --> 00:17:43.859
making music. So that was kind of what we set

00:17:43.859 --> 00:17:45.900
up when we did this. As the standard. As the

00:17:45.900 --> 00:17:48.140
standard. So I just wanted to clarify that for

00:17:48.140 --> 00:17:51.299
people. Yes. The alt rock slash grunge, we've

00:17:51.299 --> 00:17:55.099
got... Number one seed Green Day, 12 seed Alice

00:17:55.099 --> 00:17:57.519
in Chains, little Cinderella story. Definitely.

00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:01.700
Six seed 21 Pilots, 10 seed Highly Suspect, and

00:18:01.700 --> 00:18:05.839
the top 40 slash pop genre. We've got eight seed

00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:09.119
Dua Lipa, four seed Chapel Rowan, six seed Bad

00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:11.980
Bunny, and seven seed Lady Gaga. No one, no two,

00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:15.740
no three. Yeah. I know, right? That was a shocker.

00:18:16.819 --> 00:18:19.680
But hey, Kast was here. She was our... The tie

00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:21.480
break. She was the tie break. We're here without

00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:26.400
a tie break. Yeah. So away we go. And to be fair,

00:18:26.460 --> 00:18:28.420
Bad Bunny might have been a bad seed as a six,

00:18:28.420 --> 00:18:34.660
but even so, well, he's got a match up. So we'll

00:18:34.660 --> 00:18:37.460
have to get there. So let's start out with the

00:18:37.460 --> 00:18:40.759
hip hop category. Number one Eminem, number five

00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:47.009
Mac Miller. Oh, man. Oh, man. And this and the

00:18:47.009 --> 00:18:49.150
alt rock slash grunge, that's mostly what I listen

00:18:49.150 --> 00:18:52.210
to is like hip hop, alt rock, grunge rock, punk

00:18:52.210 --> 00:19:00.150
rock. That's my Mount Rushmore of genres, if

00:19:00.150 --> 00:19:05.130
you will. So this is tough. I mean, rest in peace,

00:19:05.210 --> 00:19:09.430
Mac Miller. Dude was a G. Always surrounded himself

00:19:09.430 --> 00:19:12.849
with very talented, good people. But come on,

00:19:13.069 --> 00:19:16.150
you can't overtake the goat. You can't overtake

00:19:16.150 --> 00:19:20.089
the goat. It's got to be Eminem, hey? Yeah, you're

00:19:20.089 --> 00:19:22.170
not really going to get much of an argument for

00:19:22.170 --> 00:19:28.150
me. I think his, since day one, I mean, he's

00:19:28.150 --> 00:19:35.269
just been unique. Real. Real. And nobody really

00:19:35.269 --> 00:19:38.880
rapped like him. when he came out, regardless

00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:41.380
of whether he was a white rapper or anything

00:19:41.380 --> 00:19:43.759
else, right? I mean, just, it is what it is.

00:19:44.180 --> 00:19:46.519
But even in his song, 20, what is it, 20 million

00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:50.720
other white rappers emerge. They've tried. They've

00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:55.180
tried. But they're not him. And there's a lot

00:19:55.180 --> 00:20:00.839
of rappers that try his rhyming schemes, his...

00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:04.730
The intelligence of the English language. Right.

00:20:04.990 --> 00:20:09.069
And also being able to not only rap as Eminem

00:20:09.069 --> 00:20:11.890
slash Marshall Mathers, but to be able to rap

00:20:11.890 --> 00:20:16.269
as Slim Shady and being able to distinguish both

00:20:16.269 --> 00:20:19.849
of these characters from each other. Yeah. That's

00:20:19.849 --> 00:20:23.670
just talent. It's talent. It's talent. He's so

00:20:23.670 --> 00:20:28.029
good. He's so good at what he does. And yeah,

00:20:28.390 --> 00:20:32.279
he's the GOAT. So now it's going to be... Super

00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:35.660
interesting. It's gonna be tough This this one.

00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:39.059
I don't know as much about this one artist. Okay,

00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:43.680
I've heard him a little Cast is of is educating

00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:45.500
me. Yeah, especially on Mac Miller. We've been

00:20:45.500 --> 00:20:48.500
listening to a lot of Mac is great But future

00:20:48.500 --> 00:20:50.579
I've only heard a little bit of I've heard a

00:20:50.579 --> 00:20:53.700
lot more of Kendrick Lamar Yeah, even even prior

00:20:53.700 --> 00:20:56.460
to this last album, which was just killer. Genex

00:20:56.460 --> 00:21:00.619
is so good. Yeah, but like because Aidan would

00:21:00.619 --> 00:21:02.799
play his stuff even before that album came out.

00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:05.339
I was just like, wow, that's really interesting.

00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:08.200
And then he did the one Super Bowl show with

00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:11.819
Eminem and Dr. Dre and Snoop and Mary J. Blige.

00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:13.400
I'm trying to think who else might have been

00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:16.559
there. But he had that set in there. And I was

00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:20.059
like, oh. He's good. That was good. That was

00:21:20.059 --> 00:21:24.160
really good. So Kendrick Lamar, Future, what

00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:28.279
do you think? First of all, I'm not. I'm just

00:21:28.279 --> 00:21:29.700
going to rip the band -aid off. It's got to be

00:21:29.700 --> 00:21:32.039
Kendrick. It's got to be. It has to be. Future's

00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:36.819
great. Future is great. A lot of people, even

00:21:36.819 --> 00:21:41.500
Kendrick Lamar, rapped about it, which on a track

00:21:41.500 --> 00:21:45.039
called Like That, I believe is what it's called,

00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:50.579
and it's a future Metro Boomin' Kendrick Lamar

00:21:50.579 --> 00:21:56.079
song, and that was kind of the intro to the Kendrick

00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:59.450
Drake beef. Which of course Kendrick won handily

00:21:59.450 --> 00:22:04.990
because Mr. Degrassi Aubrey Graham Fucking fucking

00:22:04.990 --> 00:22:08.170
Chodester. Yeah Why would you pick a fight with

00:22:08.170 --> 00:22:11.009
Kendrick? That's a terrible idea. It was a terrible

00:22:11.009 --> 00:22:14.230
idea terrible idea, but I mean futures great

00:22:14.230 --> 00:22:18.809
futures great I mean at least from the the 2010s

00:22:18.809 --> 00:22:22.210
through the 2020s. He's Probably in my top five

00:22:22.210 --> 00:22:26.500
rappers of the 2010s and 2020s But you gotta

00:22:26.500 --> 00:22:31.099
go Kendrick. I mean from from GNX to to pimple

00:22:31.099 --> 00:22:35.220
butterfly To good kid mad city section 80. It's

00:22:35.220 --> 00:22:40.500
just all gold It is it really is and I I thought

00:22:40.500 --> 00:22:45.420
his halftime show No disrespect to bad bunny

00:22:45.420 --> 00:22:47.980
or prince or any of the other great halftime

00:22:47.980 --> 00:22:53.119
shows I thought his was maybe the best ever.

00:22:53.460 --> 00:22:57.960
Yes, I agree and just the way he did it. The

00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:03.240
symbolism, the shots fired. Right, to me it was

00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:06.740
like, yeah, you had a lot of that symbolism and

00:23:06.740 --> 00:23:09.420
Samuel L. Jackson and him doing his thing, just,

00:23:09.539 --> 00:23:12.920
it was perfect. Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam, it was

00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:15.920
great. It really was great. Like, I loved all

00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:19.799
of that. And to me, like in the whole Kendrick

00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:22.140
Drake thing, like that was the knockout punch.

00:23:22.259 --> 00:23:25.000
That was it. That was it, and that's why those

00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:26.980
lights at the very end of what he did said, game

00:23:26.980 --> 00:23:29.359
over. Oh, yeah. Because that was it. Yep. How

00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:33.500
can someone sit there in this beef, this dis,

00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:38.099
and then go on in front of millions and millions...

00:23:38.099 --> 00:23:43.319
150 million people. Worldwide. To go worldwide

00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:45.980
like that and do that. And it's just like...

00:23:45.980 --> 00:23:50.099
So good. Drake, just let it go. Right. Just let

00:23:50.099 --> 00:23:52.960
it go. Right. Pretend. Take your L. Right. And

00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:55.220
get out of here. Right. Because he even had a

00:23:55.220 --> 00:23:57.920
concert, I guess, weeks later, and he came out

00:23:57.920 --> 00:24:00.180
with this shirt that looked like it had bullet

00:24:00.180 --> 00:24:03.220
holes in it and tried to kind of play it off.

00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:06.940
And it was just like, no, no, that was accurate.

00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:09.759
Yeah, he took you out. Right. No doubt. You're

00:24:09.759 --> 00:24:12.680
donezo, big man. So if he was trying to be comedic

00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:15.380
about it, like, yeah, he got me good. Great.

00:24:15.660 --> 00:24:19.259
Just leave it. Right. Right. Just leave it go.

00:24:19.900 --> 00:24:22.549
All right. Hip -hop, we're down to two. Yes.

00:24:22.970 --> 00:24:26.250
Jesus. I know. It's not going to get easier coming

00:24:26.250 --> 00:24:29.450
forward. I know this. Metal and hard rock. Number

00:24:29.450 --> 00:24:31.869
one Metallica, number four Foo Fighters. Damn.

00:24:32.369 --> 00:24:37.910
I mean, damn. Yeah. Now, I have always held a

00:24:37.910 --> 00:24:42.880
little grudge against Metallica. Oh, okay. Because

00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:47.680
of them turning down their own bassist on their

00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:50.400
recordings because they were salty about something

00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:53.200
out of their control, the passing of their former

00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:57.019
bassist. Right. Like, all of your records sound

00:24:57.019 --> 00:25:00.640
like fucking dogshit. I'm sorry, Metallica. I'm

00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:03.059
sorry. If I'm listening to something on my phone

00:25:03.059 --> 00:25:06.319
or on a CD, it sounds like ass because you turned

00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:08.930
down the bassist. You did. The only way to hear

00:25:08.930 --> 00:25:12.150
a good Metallica song is to go to a show. And

00:25:12.150 --> 00:25:15.890
that's fine. Touring's great. Live music is awesome.

00:25:16.630 --> 00:25:19.430
But you sabotaged your own discography. Right.

00:25:19.930 --> 00:25:22.069
And Jason, that's the thing about Jason Newstead

00:25:22.069 --> 00:25:24.470
too, is he's a good dude. Yeah. So this is like

00:25:24.470 --> 00:25:27.369
what they, like he took a lot of shit early on

00:25:27.369 --> 00:25:30.569
because they were all pissy and drunk and high

00:25:30.569 --> 00:25:34.049
and upset. Yeah. And granted. You know, Cliff

00:25:34.049 --> 00:25:36.130
Burton was the heart and soul of that group.

00:25:36.130 --> 00:25:39.170
Oh, sure. And so, you know, Dave Mustaine leaves

00:25:39.170 --> 00:25:42.109
the band, then Cliff Burton dies. That could

00:25:42.109 --> 00:25:44.529
have been the end of that band. Could have ended

00:25:44.529 --> 00:25:46.750
it. Because that was the heart and soul, but

00:25:46.750 --> 00:25:48.670
it stuck together. So I just thought the way

00:25:48.670 --> 00:25:52.589
they treated Jason was horseshit. Yeah. But I've

00:25:52.589 --> 00:25:56.569
seen them live. They're great live. I think Master

00:25:56.569 --> 00:25:59.940
of Puppets... possibly the best hard rock metal

00:25:59.940 --> 00:26:02.539
album of all time. It's up there. It's up. Oh,

00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:06.779
yeah. Top five. Easy. So that's great. And Justice

00:26:06.779 --> 00:26:13.380
is good. There's so many good albums. Death Magnetic

00:26:13.380 --> 00:26:15.839
was a newer album, but Death Magnetic is excellent.

00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:18.660
Yeah. Well, well, well produced. And quite frankly,

00:26:18.900 --> 00:26:21.220
the black album. Right. And kind of after the

00:26:21.220 --> 00:26:23.740
black album, they it got a little weird for a

00:26:23.740 --> 00:26:27.140
bit. Not that Load and Reload are Bad per se

00:26:27.140 --> 00:26:30.400
but like st. Anger and like I just I didn't like

00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:32.480
a lot of what they were doing Sure, but I felt

00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:34.980
like death magnetic they got back to their sound

00:26:34.980 --> 00:26:36.940
Yeah, and it was so well produced and I thought

00:26:36.940 --> 00:26:39.900
man. They're they're back. This is this is it

00:26:39.900 --> 00:26:47.619
But all that being said Just The the thrash band

00:26:47.619 --> 00:26:51.319
yes, right if you can define a genre, right?

00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:54.119
Yeah, it's the same argument you make with Chicago

00:26:54.119 --> 00:26:57.930
Bears Devin Hester. Right. You define what it

00:26:57.930 --> 00:27:03.710
meant to be a returner. Yes. It's gotta be Metallica

00:27:03.710 --> 00:27:06.190
or Foo Fighters. Bless the Foo Fighters. I think

00:27:06.190 --> 00:27:09.410
they're great. Dave's great. Dave is really great.

00:27:11.009 --> 00:27:13.309
Somebody was doing some beef with him recently.

00:27:13.650 --> 00:27:17.329
He had a scandal. I guess he cheated on his wife

00:27:17.329 --> 00:27:20.150
and had a kid with a different woman. Yeah. So

00:27:20.150 --> 00:27:23.549
he has a scandal, but I mean, it's a good band.

00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:27.660
Right. And as scandals go, I mean, not great,

00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:31.420
but not terrible either. I mean, quite frankly,

00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:33.880
like every fourth or fifth basketball player

00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:36.119
does the same thing. Right. Right. You know,

00:27:36.259 --> 00:27:38.960
so it's kind of like, while not ideal and not

00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:41.180
great, and I'm sure he's had to do his own situation,

00:27:41.819 --> 00:27:44.400
relationships are private, you know, and short

00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:47.299
of him doing something physical to someone, which

00:27:47.609 --> 00:27:50.549
You know, if you do, then F you. Right. But that's

00:27:50.549 --> 00:27:52.069
not what this was. This was something different.

00:27:52.289 --> 00:27:55.049
And it's like, to me, it's like that is kind

00:27:55.049 --> 00:27:56.730
of his business. Yeah. And he's got to deal with

00:27:56.730 --> 00:27:59.230
it. And when you're a celebrity, your private

00:27:59.230 --> 00:28:03.549
life is thrust into a public life. Right. And

00:28:03.549 --> 00:28:06.829
as a fan, you have to make that decision. Is

00:28:06.829 --> 00:28:10.549
that a bridge too far? Sure. You know, for me

00:28:10.549 --> 00:28:14.230
as an actor, Kevin Spacey, that was hard because

00:28:14.230 --> 00:28:17.329
he was my favorite. Okay, Al Pacino, but probably

00:28:17.329 --> 00:28:20.730
my second favorite actor at the time. Just a

00:28:20.730 --> 00:28:23.470
tremendous actor, but what he did was kind of

00:28:23.470 --> 00:28:26.549
a scumbag. Yeah, kind of a scumbag. And so when

00:28:26.549 --> 00:28:29.029
you look at that, then you're just like, can

00:28:29.029 --> 00:28:31.670
you still watch Baby Driver? You know, freaking

00:28:31.670 --> 00:28:34.329
love that movie. Yeah. There's like I said, there's

00:28:34.329 --> 00:28:37.769
a lot of so I think you can. try to separate

00:28:37.769 --> 00:28:41.309
the art from the artist a little bit. But, you

00:28:41.309 --> 00:28:44.509
know, so once again, I think with Dave, it's

00:28:44.509 --> 00:28:47.789
to me that that is not a deal breaker. I still

00:28:47.789 --> 00:28:49.450
love the Foo Fighters. They just came out with

00:28:49.450 --> 00:28:53.349
a new song. It's a banger. Yeah. And, you know,

00:28:53.509 --> 00:28:55.150
they're right up there. They're number four seed,

00:28:55.150 --> 00:28:57.849
of course. Right. Right. But Metallica just I

00:28:57.849 --> 00:29:01.900
think they have a grander catalog. Yep. I've

00:29:01.900 --> 00:29:04.759
only seen Metallica live, but it was great. So

00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:07.539
yeah, I think I think they they take care of

00:29:07.539 --> 00:29:09.980
fighters. I agree. Yeah, I agree. Metallica moves

00:29:09.980 --> 00:29:12.599
on. But keep in mind what I said about you, Metallica.

00:29:12.859 --> 00:29:15.700
Yeah. Keep in mind. Well, and they pissed me

00:29:15.700 --> 00:29:19.420
off because earlier in their career, before Aiden

00:29:19.420 --> 00:29:25.859
was a thought in my brain, they the early metal

00:29:25.859 --> 00:29:30.289
scene thrived because they played a lot of house

00:29:30.289 --> 00:29:33.049
shows, okay? A lot of smaller ones, a lot on

00:29:33.049 --> 00:29:37.690
the West Coast. And the way they were able to

00:29:37.690 --> 00:29:42.910
succeed was through... people's recordings of

00:29:42.910 --> 00:29:45.890
those shows and people would share tapes. Sure.

00:29:45.890 --> 00:29:48.470
And people would be like, oh, yeah, this was

00:29:48.470 --> 00:29:51.250
Motley Crue at Whiskey a Go -Go. Cool. Yeah,

00:29:51.250 --> 00:29:53.950
I was up at Cow Palace, man. Check out this Metallica

00:29:53.950 --> 00:29:55.930
show. You know, and that's how they would do

00:29:55.930 --> 00:29:58.589
that. So then when Napster came along. Yeah.

00:29:58.849 --> 00:30:01.450
Lars Ulrich was kind of a dick about it because

00:30:01.450 --> 00:30:05.269
it's like you got to be who you were by people

00:30:05.269 --> 00:30:09.130
exchanging music for free. Right. So while he

00:30:09.130 --> 00:30:12.759
has a point and like it's my art, we should be

00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:15.940
paid for that. Sure. That's true. But it could

00:30:15.940 --> 00:30:18.559
have been handled better. Yeah. Because the way

00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:21.299
he did it made everybody go, oh, you piece of

00:30:21.299 --> 00:30:24.440
shit. You are who you are because your fans exchanged

00:30:24.440 --> 00:30:27.019
all that music and hundreds, if not thousands

00:30:27.019 --> 00:30:28.960
of people have never heard of you guys before.

00:30:29.619 --> 00:30:33.119
Listen to some tape that this surfer dude gave

00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:35.660
this bikini chick, gave this bartender and gave

00:30:35.660 --> 00:30:38.740
to you. And you went. wow these guys are great

00:30:38.740 --> 00:30:43.539
yeah so be that as it may that's that's kind

00:30:43.539 --> 00:30:48.380
of my experience with Metallica yeah yeah i i

00:30:48.380 --> 00:30:52.720
do recall the Napster issues was a thing it was

00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:55.740
definitely yeah um and now they and now what

00:30:55.740 --> 00:30:58.059
do they do now they share their music worldwide

00:30:58.059 --> 00:31:00.460
on Spotify and everything else for what two cents

00:31:00.460 --> 00:31:03.940
a click or not it's a fraction of a penny per

00:31:03.940 --> 00:31:09.740
fraction of a penny yeah Okay This this one and

00:31:09.740 --> 00:31:14.180
maybe it's hard for you. It's I know Obviously

00:31:14.180 --> 00:31:16.160
who I'm voting for because it's my favorite band,

00:31:16.160 --> 00:31:18.680
but it's kind of my other favorite band. This

00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:23.400
is really a problem Number six tool number two

00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:28.380
Iron Maiden. I It's it's easy for me. It's I'm

00:31:28.380 --> 00:31:31.240
voting Iron Maiden. I've not listened to a lot

00:31:31.240 --> 00:31:37.380
of tool myself I love their mathematical approach

00:31:37.380 --> 00:31:42.059
to music, I always found that fascinating. I'm

00:31:42.059 --> 00:31:43.980
pretty sure I've annoyed every single person

00:31:43.980 --> 00:31:46.920
I know, showing them different songs and being

00:31:46.920 --> 00:31:51.279
like, oh, did you know Hey Ya is an 11 -4 time?

00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:57.220
Or the transition listening to White Room by

00:31:57.220 --> 00:32:01.000
Cream goes from 5 -4 to 4 -4. And it's fascinating

00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:05.809
to me. I love that. Music is math. and Tool does

00:32:05.809 --> 00:32:09.109
it in such a fascinating way, such skill and

00:32:09.109 --> 00:32:12.490
precision, but you wanna talk discography, you

00:32:12.490 --> 00:32:16.390
wanna talk about banger after banger, hit after

00:32:16.390 --> 00:32:19.529
hit, it's gotta be Iron Maiden. It has to be

00:32:19.529 --> 00:32:23.009
Iron Maiden, and Bruce Dickinson is a ridiculous

00:32:23.009 --> 00:32:27.769
man. He's amazing. And once again, it hurts me

00:32:27.769 --> 00:32:30.890
not to pick Tool, because I think they probably

00:32:30.890 --> 00:32:35.920
have the best drummer. I'm going to say, currently

00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:38.839
active. Sure, because then you get in the Neil

00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:41.420
Perrett argument, and then you've got all of

00:32:41.420 --> 00:32:44.119
the amazing jazz. Stewart Copeland, and just

00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:47.339
so many other great drummers. He's so precise,

00:32:48.039 --> 00:32:52.680
and his time changes are sick. Clean, clean.

00:32:52.940 --> 00:32:55.859
I just like, you have to listen. You have to

00:32:55.859 --> 00:32:59.990
listen to Tool. do yourself a favor just hit

00:32:59.990 --> 00:33:02.109
the YouTube hit the Spotify whatever and just

00:33:02.109 --> 00:33:04.230
hit tool and just listen to a lot of their music

00:33:04.230 --> 00:33:07.309
and the changes they make during these songs

00:33:07.309 --> 00:33:09.549
blow your mind right you're like I would have

00:33:09.549 --> 00:33:12.609
never done that but it sounds amazing it's one

00:33:12.609 --> 00:33:15.589
of those things that like put your phone down

00:33:15.589 --> 00:33:18.650
put your like nice set of headphones on and just

00:33:18.650 --> 00:33:22.470
listen oh yeah like feel it feel the the time

00:33:22.470 --> 00:33:26.710
changes the time signature is changing mid song

00:33:27.369 --> 00:33:31.329
Yeah. Like feel how clean that is and how difficult

00:33:31.329 --> 00:33:34.049
that would be for a human to do. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

00:33:34.670 --> 00:33:37.410
It really is. It's unbelievable. And, you know,

00:33:37.589 --> 00:33:40.430
Maiden, they've got they've they might actually

00:33:40.430 --> 00:33:41.950
get in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which

00:33:41.950 --> 00:33:43.710
I call the Music Hall of Fame because there's

00:33:43.710 --> 00:33:47.230
like so many non quote unquote rock bands in

00:33:47.230 --> 00:33:51.319
there. This is true. But. you know, to have all

00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:53.339
these hard rock and metal bands that are currently

00:33:53.339 --> 00:33:56.299
in that looked up to Iron Maiden. And Iron Maiden

00:33:56.299 --> 00:33:59.039
is still sitting there like, hey, can we come

00:33:59.039 --> 00:34:02.420
in? It's so stupid. And it looks like they're

00:34:02.420 --> 00:34:03.920
going to get in, which is great. And I hope they

00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:07.680
do. But you look at Maiden and first off, Steve

00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:11.679
Harris, anyone that learns to play bass will

00:34:11.679 --> 00:34:14.780
learn how to play bass listening to Steve Harris.

00:34:14.780 --> 00:34:17.159
Sure. You just do just that galloping bass line.

00:34:17.260 --> 00:34:20.510
It's awesome. And They had an original drummer

00:34:20.510 --> 00:34:23.829
Clyde Berha was good and then Nico comes in all

00:34:23.829 --> 00:34:27.969
McBrain is speaking speaking of Metallica like

00:34:27.969 --> 00:34:31.650
they showed all of these rock legends Excited

00:34:31.650 --> 00:34:34.670
to go to the LA Arena to watch Iron Maiden right

00:34:34.670 --> 00:34:38.010
that says it all and Lars Ulrich's like he's

00:34:38.010 --> 00:34:40.849
so tiny It's like his kit is so big you can't

00:34:40.849 --> 00:34:43.590
see it back. It's it's hilarious to see that

00:34:43.590 --> 00:34:50.480
But he's so great and then the dual guitar Which

00:34:50.480 --> 00:34:55.000
I always found it amazing. Yeah They're amazing

00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:57.599
and now it's it's triple. Yeah, really. Yeah

00:34:57.599 --> 00:35:00.960
Because Yana Gares who came in after Adrian left

00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:04.280
for a bit And then Adrian came back, and that

00:35:04.280 --> 00:35:06.440
just shows you how awesome these guys are. They're

00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:08.079
like, oh, you're not going anywhere. You're in

00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:12.000
our band. Yeah. I love that. Such a good band,

00:35:12.139 --> 00:35:15.280
good people. And as you said, the shows. Oh my

00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:17.980
god, the live shows. Bruce is like, he has an

00:35:17.980 --> 00:35:20.380
edge. If he's pissy about something, he is going

00:35:20.380 --> 00:35:22.619
to share it. And then the show is that much better

00:35:22.619 --> 00:35:24.699
because he has all his piss and vinegar built

00:35:24.699 --> 00:35:29.090
up. But he's like, he's so good. And I love the

00:35:29.090 --> 00:35:30.570
fact like a lot of these hard rock and metal

00:35:30.570 --> 00:35:32.429
bands today, especially when you see them live,

00:35:32.909 --> 00:35:35.349
they're all clean now. You know, they're not

00:35:35.349 --> 00:35:38.449
total drunks. They're not doing coke. They're

00:35:38.449 --> 00:35:39.949
not doing all the stuff they used to do back

00:35:39.949 --> 00:35:42.829
in the 80s and 90s. They're clean. And so like

00:35:42.829 --> 00:35:47.469
Bruce is is well into his 60s and he sounds amazing.

00:35:47.489 --> 00:35:50.750
Yeah. And do guys like him and Halford have to

00:35:50.750 --> 00:35:52.949
kind of come down an octave because they can't

00:35:52.949 --> 00:35:54.590
necessarily hit the super high pitch anymore?

00:35:55.050 --> 00:35:57.750
Yeah, but. They just adjust the music. Right.

00:35:57.889 --> 00:35:59.789
So it still sounds great when you can sing along.

00:35:59.869 --> 00:36:03.309
I love it. It's so good. And their music is great.

00:36:03.690 --> 00:36:06.710
They have a mascot, Eddie. He's awesome. He's

00:36:06.710 --> 00:36:08.969
awesome. He screws with the band on stage. I

00:36:08.969 --> 00:36:13.429
love it. It's so good. Their album cover artwork

00:36:13.429 --> 00:36:18.650
is second to none. And every song like has a

00:36:18.650 --> 00:36:21.150
story to it. These guys are into sci fi. They're

00:36:21.150 --> 00:36:24.050
into history. They're into so many things. Flight

00:36:24.050 --> 00:36:27.530
of Icarus. Yep. You go back into these old troopers.

00:36:28.130 --> 00:36:31.449
Yeah. It's such great stuff. Run to the Hills

00:36:31.449 --> 00:36:35.289
is a commentary on the US of A. Oh, that it is.

00:36:35.349 --> 00:36:38.150
That it is. The Klansmen. Oh, yeah. Do yourself

00:36:38.150 --> 00:36:42.010
a favor. I don't know if I have it on VHS or

00:36:42.010 --> 00:36:45.010
DVD. VHS is like this cassette thing. And never

00:36:45.010 --> 00:36:48.250
mind. I'm not going to explain it. But I had

00:36:48.250 --> 00:36:52.449
it. It was the Rock in Rio. One of the best live

00:36:52.449 --> 00:36:55.849
performances captured. that I've ever seen. It's

00:36:55.849 --> 00:36:57.949
just amazing. A hundred grand people there, right?

00:36:58.469 --> 00:37:02.349
Over a hundred thousand people in Rio. Just as

00:37:02.349 --> 00:37:07.150
many as you can see. Check out the Klansmen from

00:37:07.150 --> 00:37:09.030
Rockin'. I'm getting goosebumps right now talking

00:37:09.030 --> 00:37:11.710
about it because the first time I saw that blew

00:37:11.710 --> 00:37:15.730
my mind. And my one friend, he introduced me

00:37:15.730 --> 00:37:19.409
to Maiden a lot later. than I normally would

00:37:19.409 --> 00:37:22.889
have found them in the 1980s. But he had explained,

00:37:23.010 --> 00:37:24.750
he's like, yeah, the Klansmen was actually a

00:37:24.750 --> 00:37:26.849
song, when Bruce had left the band to do solo

00:37:26.849 --> 00:37:29.150
stuff, they had a different singer. And it was

00:37:29.150 --> 00:37:30.889
kind of during that run that they did this song,

00:37:30.969 --> 00:37:33.050
the Klansmen. But when you listen to a lot of

00:37:33.050 --> 00:37:35.969
the stuff that they did while Bruce was away,

00:37:36.630 --> 00:37:39.530
you listen to that song, it's like, oh man, yeah,

00:37:39.530 --> 00:37:41.789
that's for Bruce. Like you can hear Bruce singing

00:37:41.789 --> 00:37:45.349
it. So when they did the Klansmen, it's just

00:37:45.349 --> 00:37:48.659
like, yeah, man. That's just Bruce all the way.

00:37:48.699 --> 00:37:51.920
And he does this. And there are certain parts

00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:56.420
of the song where it's like, oh, and the hundred

00:37:56.420 --> 00:37:58.980
thousand people are all doing this. And you have

00:37:58.980 --> 00:38:01.880
all these Brazilian kids out there. They're like

00:38:01.880 --> 00:38:04.619
10 years old. They're 80 years old. That's the

00:38:04.619 --> 00:38:06.599
amazing thing about an Iron Maiden concert. It's

00:38:06.599 --> 00:38:09.699
like they transcend time. They transcend language.

00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:12.679
They do. You got these Portuguese speakers knowing

00:38:12.679 --> 00:38:16.250
every word to it. English rock band's song. Right.

00:38:16.289 --> 00:38:17.610
They're going to go into an English restaurant

00:38:17.610 --> 00:38:19.429
and be like, I don't know how to order any of

00:38:19.429 --> 00:38:21.510
this. But they know the trooper. They know the

00:38:21.510 --> 00:38:24.389
Klansmen. They're singing to it. Right. That

00:38:24.389 --> 00:38:27.849
says everything about that band. Absolutely everything.

00:38:28.550 --> 00:38:31.750
So they move on. They move on. Sorry, Tool. I

00:38:31.750 --> 00:38:34.150
love you. You're amazing. I've yet to see you

00:38:34.150 --> 00:38:36.989
live, which is an absolute crime. So I'm hoping

00:38:36.989 --> 00:38:40.690
sometime this year or next to resolve that situation.

00:38:41.150 --> 00:38:43.340
There are two bands I've not... I've seen most

00:38:43.340 --> 00:38:47.400
bands live, well over 100 concerts. I've not

00:38:47.400 --> 00:38:50.139
seen U2, I want to see them, and I've not seen

00:38:50.139 --> 00:38:52.539
Tool. Once that's done, I've seen everybody I

00:38:52.539 --> 00:38:54.719
want to see. Yeah. I'm like good. I can retire

00:38:54.719 --> 00:38:57.920
from concert going. I'm a happy man. But yeah,

00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:03.820
Maiden moves on. Now, we are on to Alt Rock and

00:39:03.820 --> 00:39:07.619
Grunge. I think this one may be tough as well.

00:39:08.099 --> 00:39:12.170
Number one Green Day, number 12. Alice in Chains.

00:39:12.190 --> 00:39:14.530
They were the 12 -5 upset, and they just kept

00:39:14.530 --> 00:39:17.530
on going. They kept rolling. And that's tough,

00:39:17.750 --> 00:39:20.889
too, because they're distinctly different genres.

00:39:22.010 --> 00:39:24.150
Technically, yes. You're right. You've got grunge

00:39:24.150 --> 00:39:27.369
rock, and then you've got alternative punk rock.

00:39:28.230 --> 00:39:30.190
But people that like one usually like the other.

00:39:30.190 --> 00:39:32.670
I think that's why we group them. Yes. Yeah.

00:39:33.909 --> 00:39:37.829
And that's so difficult for me, because you can

00:39:37.829 --> 00:39:42.760
go as far back as like... Dookie on Green Day

00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:46.320
to American Idiot, which is kind of a fascinating

00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:49.739
story that they had recorded a Completely different

00:39:49.739 --> 00:39:53.280
album. Yeah, like I think it was like Valentine's

00:39:53.280 --> 00:39:56.780
and cigarettes or something like that Yeah, and

00:39:56.780 --> 00:40:00.559
it either it got destroyed somehow like the Masters

00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:03.260
Oh, wow master recordings of the album either

00:40:03.260 --> 00:40:05.760
through like a fire or through theft or something

00:40:05.760 --> 00:40:08.420
like that Mm -hmm, and they were just like oh

00:40:08.420 --> 00:40:10.619
well I don't know why we're gonna re -record

00:40:10.619 --> 00:40:13.019
it, let's just do something else. So that's how

00:40:13.019 --> 00:40:16.639
American Idiot happened. And that's such a fascinating

00:40:16.639 --> 00:40:20.980
story, and as an artist, that's gotta be so tough

00:40:20.980 --> 00:40:25.000
that you have made something, it gets destroyed

00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:28.079
or stolen, and then you're just like, ah well

00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:31.000
fuck that, let's just do something else. Like

00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:33.780
how crazy is that? But then you've got Alice

00:40:33.780 --> 00:40:40.030
in Chains just grunge legends. That's tough for

00:40:40.030 --> 00:40:43.230
me. That's really tough. It is tough. I'll be

00:40:43.230 --> 00:40:45.429
honest. When Green Day first came out, I was

00:40:45.429 --> 00:40:49.289
not a fan. I didn't hate them, but I just like

00:40:49.289 --> 00:40:52.690
I didn't get it. And so like I would I would

00:40:52.690 --> 00:40:55.789
hear Billy Joel's not Billy Joel, Billy Joe.

00:40:56.409 --> 00:41:00.829
I would hear his voice and I would think that.

00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:04.900
They're just trying to pretend to be a British

00:41:04.900 --> 00:41:08.159
punk band like I would hear it in his voice Don't

00:41:08.159 --> 00:41:10.480
wanna be in the baby cut and I'm like, is he

00:41:10.480 --> 00:41:14.320
trying to be English? I'm like, I don't I see

00:41:14.320 --> 00:41:16.579
doing up there. What's he doing? And I'm like

00:41:16.579 --> 00:41:19.139
I as I said, I didn't hate it, but I was just

00:41:19.139 --> 00:41:22.559
kind of like Alright, are they a punk band? Are

00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:25.400
they an alt band? Like what are they trying to

00:41:25.400 --> 00:41:27.699
do? Like I couldn't figure it out rather than

00:41:27.699 --> 00:41:31.210
just enjoying the music I was I think initially

00:41:31.210 --> 00:41:33.929
I was confused. I was just like, I don't think

00:41:33.929 --> 00:41:38.449
I get them. Yeah. So, meanwhile, Alice in Chains,

00:41:39.329 --> 00:41:44.030
just phenomenal. Dirt, Jar of Flies. Dirt is

00:41:44.030 --> 00:41:47.170
amazing. Dirt was a killer album. Yeah. But Jar

00:41:47.170 --> 00:41:50.309
of Flies came out and I don't think it got the

00:41:50.309 --> 00:41:53.670
public support that the first one did. Until

00:41:53.670 --> 00:41:56.489
much later. Until much later because then I think

00:41:56.489 --> 00:41:59.380
people realized This might be a better album.

00:41:59.460 --> 00:42:02.400
Yeah, this is there is some heavy shit in this

00:42:02.400 --> 00:42:06.340
album And they they they sing about some very

00:42:06.340 --> 00:42:10.019
heavy stuff nutshell Might be one of my favorite

00:42:10.019 --> 00:42:14.800
songs it it speaks to anybody Who's ever been

00:42:14.800 --> 00:42:18.739
in a dark place? Just I mean, I'm almost getting

00:42:18.739 --> 00:42:23.119
emotional over now. It's it's just such a Masterpiece

00:42:23.119 --> 00:42:26.780
and I don't use that lightly sure some people

00:42:26.780 --> 00:42:31.099
say That even the better version of that song

00:42:31.099 --> 00:42:34.679
was the unplugged that they did on MTV It's a

00:42:34.679 --> 00:42:37.280
great version on frickin real. I mean, how can

00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:39.420
you not get the feels from listening to that?

00:42:39.719 --> 00:42:43.139
because like Lane staley is like telling you

00:42:43.139 --> 00:42:46.699
exactly how he's feeling right and which we all

00:42:46.699 --> 00:42:48.940
knew because unfortunately he passed away and

00:42:48.940 --> 00:42:51.019
when they found him he was like 80 pounds and

00:42:51.019 --> 00:42:54.099
just Passed to her just withered away and they

00:42:54.099 --> 00:42:58.099
they couldn't get to him in time but Yeah, I

00:42:58.099 --> 00:43:00.219
mean Alice in Chains is one of those bands that

00:43:00.219 --> 00:43:07.719
came along and in that grunge like I loved Soundgarden.

00:43:08.460 --> 00:43:12.780
I loved Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam is great. So many

00:43:12.780 --> 00:43:16.420
bands. STP. STP is awesome. So many bands from

00:43:16.420 --> 00:43:19.780
that genre that were so good, but none of them

00:43:19.780 --> 00:43:24.199
sound like Alice in Chains. Right. Jerry Cantrell

00:43:24.199 --> 00:43:27.719
is brilliant. They just sounded different than

00:43:27.719 --> 00:43:30.219
everyone else. It's like dirty and real. Oh,

00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:34.940
just so dirty. Exactly. Dirty and real. And I

00:43:34.940 --> 00:43:36.860
love that. And so I look at this and once again,

00:43:37.320 --> 00:43:39.460
nothing against Green Day because I grew to like

00:43:39.460 --> 00:43:41.980
them through you, I think, kind of because you

00:43:41.980 --> 00:43:43.960
listen to them a lot. And so I started listening

00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:46.559
to them. And then I was kind of like, all right,

00:43:46.619 --> 00:43:49.539
I'm still not sure I love his vocals, but I get

00:43:49.539 --> 00:43:52.579
the music. Yeah. And so like that. I definitely

00:43:52.579 --> 00:43:54.280
respect that. I like what they did at the Super

00:43:54.280 --> 00:43:59.920
Bowl. I thought that was super cool. Yeah. But...

00:43:59.920 --> 00:44:02.340
Where are you leaning? I think we might be leaning

00:44:02.340 --> 00:44:04.920
in different ways here, but... I'm torn. I don't

00:44:04.920 --> 00:44:08.179
even know how I'm leaning. I'm still leaning.

00:44:08.619 --> 00:44:11.800
The Cinderella's slipper, it's still... Is it

00:44:11.800 --> 00:44:15.019
off? Is it on? What's the... It's lost, right?

00:44:15.019 --> 00:44:17.579
It's lost. We got to find it. And then... what

00:44:17.579 --> 00:44:19.960
old boy finds it, he's like, what foot does this

00:44:19.960 --> 00:44:25.380
go on, mate? Yeah. Oh, I found this glass slipper.

00:44:25.940 --> 00:44:27.920
And then he puts it on Facebook Marketplace.

00:44:28.199 --> 00:44:32.300
And I don't know. $5 ,000. Exactly. Has Cinderella's

00:44:32.300 --> 00:44:36.039
slipper. Who wants it? Got to be local cash only.

00:44:38.159 --> 00:44:42.019
So yeah. How do we get there? Alice in Chains

00:44:42.019 --> 00:44:45.760
Cinderella, right? Got it. Yeah. I gotta go Alice

00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:48.940
in Chains. I have to. I don't. And it's hard

00:44:48.940 --> 00:44:50.960
for me to do that because Green Day is the number

00:44:50.960 --> 00:44:54.320
one seed. Yeah. But I don't disagree because

00:44:54.320 --> 00:44:56.780
I'm torn. I'm torn because I like them for different

00:44:56.780 --> 00:44:59.980
reasons. I think Alice in Chains, as you were

00:44:59.980 --> 00:45:04.760
saying, speaks more to emotional realness and

00:45:04.760 --> 00:45:08.559
vulnerability. Yep. And Green Day is more like

00:45:08.559 --> 00:45:13.630
macro, like macro socioeconomic commentary. Yeah.

00:45:13.710 --> 00:45:17.889
If you will. Sure. On most of their songs. So

00:45:17.889 --> 00:45:20.409
I'm fine with that. I'm fine with that. Are you?

00:45:20.429 --> 00:45:24.510
Because I was torn. I knew this one and eventually

00:45:24.510 --> 00:45:26.949
the return to hip hop are going to be the toughest

00:45:26.949 --> 00:45:28.889
ones for me. Are going to be hard. So I'll give

00:45:28.889 --> 00:45:33.690
you Alice in Chains huge 12 -1 upset. Okay. This

00:45:33.690 --> 00:45:36.170
was like a last second buzzer beater right there.

00:45:36.170 --> 00:45:42.059
Yeah. Because I was willing... to give you Green

00:45:42.059 --> 00:45:46.840
Day begrudgingly. Yeah. But no, it was more just

00:45:46.840 --> 00:45:50.019
body work, man. I just and those two dirt and

00:45:50.019 --> 00:45:53.980
jar flies are so great. So so good. Now, this

00:45:53.980 --> 00:45:56.619
one could be it could be a thing, too. But I

00:45:56.619 --> 00:45:58.900
definitely like one more than the other. But

00:45:58.900 --> 00:46:01.059
that's not saying because I like them both. Yeah.

00:46:01.300 --> 00:46:03.840
Twenty one pilots a six seed. Highly suspected

00:46:03.840 --> 00:46:06.679
time. Crazy. They both moved on as they did.

00:46:06.699 --> 00:46:10.610
I know being kind of mid rank seeds. Yeah. I

00:46:10.610 --> 00:46:13.070
think Highly Suspect, in my opinion, got further

00:46:13.070 --> 00:46:16.949
than I thought they would in last episode. Which

00:46:16.949 --> 00:46:20.469
I'm glad they did. I love their... I like their

00:46:20.469 --> 00:46:24.230
body of work. Yeah, I agree. That being said,

00:46:25.349 --> 00:46:29.210
Blurryface is probably one of the best alternative

00:46:29.210 --> 00:46:35.510
rock albums of the 21st century. Yeah, I can't

00:46:35.510 --> 00:46:38.239
disagree with that. I've got to put my vote in

00:46:38.239 --> 00:46:41.940
as 21 Pilots here. Okay. Not to undersell how

00:46:41.940 --> 00:46:44.760
excellent, highly suspect he is. Right. As a

00:46:44.760 --> 00:46:49.519
band, I think they sound incredible. Right. But

00:46:49.519 --> 00:46:53.019
I got to lean 21 Pilots on this. I would agree.

00:46:53.119 --> 00:46:55.480
I kind of came to the party late with these guys.

00:46:55.579 --> 00:46:58.199
There was a bartender friend of mine that was

00:46:58.199 --> 00:47:00.519
really into them and I started listening to them

00:47:00.519 --> 00:47:03.019
and I was like, and this, I'm sure it happens

00:47:03.019 --> 00:47:05.980
to many of you out there, but I... was listening

00:47:05.980 --> 00:47:09.059
to their music and I was like how the hell did

00:47:09.059 --> 00:47:14.099
I like miss the last 10 years of these guys and

00:47:14.099 --> 00:47:17.619
the thing that amazes me is it's not like a band

00:47:17.619 --> 00:47:20.380
can change its sound like Metallico do an album

00:47:20.380 --> 00:47:23.119
and they just sound different on that album these

00:47:23.119 --> 00:47:25.739
guys can have three or four songs that all sound

00:47:25.739 --> 00:47:28.980
different on the same damn album yeah it is so

00:47:28.980 --> 00:47:34.019
impressive to me how they do that and their use

00:47:34.019 --> 00:47:38.900
of synth in their music, and tone, and timing,

00:47:39.239 --> 00:47:42.719
and everything. It's just so good. I really like

00:47:42.719 --> 00:47:44.960
it. I really like it a lot. If you listen to

00:47:44.960 --> 00:47:48.619
Stressed Out right next to Lainboy, you would

00:47:48.619 --> 00:47:51.079
not assume those two songs were both on Blurryface.

00:47:51.159 --> 00:47:53.940
I would agree. I would agree 100 % with that.

00:47:54.719 --> 00:47:57.860
So, 2 .1 Pilots moves on. Oh man, these... This

00:47:57.860 --> 00:47:59.800
is tough. It's a lead eight, it's gonna be tough.

00:48:00.179 --> 00:48:03.380
We got a top 40, a lot of mid -range upsets here.

00:48:03.820 --> 00:48:05.840
We have number eight Dua Lipa going against number

00:48:05.840 --> 00:48:10.340
four Chapel Rome. I... And I'm just gonna come...

00:48:10.340 --> 00:48:12.500
I'm just gonna come out here and say it. I've

00:48:12.500 --> 00:48:17.179
never been a huge fan of pop music, necessarily.

00:48:17.860 --> 00:48:20.659
And I know pop is kind of a weird genre anyway,

00:48:20.659 --> 00:48:23.030
because it just means... like what's popular

00:48:23.030 --> 00:48:28.809
right now. But it's never been my forte necessarily.

00:48:28.949 --> 00:48:32.070
Yeah. Which I think is fine. Everyone has their

00:48:32.070 --> 00:48:37.230
tastes. So I'm not super familiar with Dua Lipa's

00:48:37.230 --> 00:48:42.190
discography or catalog, but I gotta lean Chapelrone

00:48:42.190 --> 00:48:45.010
on this one because I'm simply more familiar

00:48:45.010 --> 00:48:49.610
with their work. So I might defer to you on this

00:48:49.610 --> 00:48:52.889
one, but I'm leaning Chapelrone. Yeah, you know,

00:48:52.989 --> 00:48:57.869
I was maybe slightly leaning Dua Lipa. I just

00:48:57.869 --> 00:49:01.909
tend to like her music more. Very poppy, very

00:49:01.909 --> 00:49:05.090
catchy. She had the one song in the Barbie movie

00:49:05.090 --> 00:49:08.349
that was really good. She's had a lot of good

00:49:08.349 --> 00:49:11.510
songs. But Chapel Run arguably had one of the

00:49:11.510 --> 00:49:14.360
best years of pop. Artist has had in a long time.

00:49:14.400 --> 00:49:17.460
Yeah, you can't go to a bar and not hear that

00:49:17.460 --> 00:49:21.079
song pink pony No, I'm not I like pink pony club.

00:49:21.079 --> 00:49:24.079
I think it's a good song. It's a good song. It's

00:49:24.079 --> 00:49:27.559
overplayed There's a you know You know you could

00:49:27.559 --> 00:49:29.719
you know Maybe this unfair comparison because

00:49:29.719 --> 00:49:31.280
it's one of the greatest bands and maybe one

00:49:31.280 --> 00:49:33.199
of the greatest songs of all time But stairway

00:49:33.199 --> 00:49:35.239
to heaven from Led Zeppelin. I know a lot of

00:49:35.239 --> 00:49:37.559
people You know, they hear that and they're like,

00:49:37.699 --> 00:49:40.960
oh god, you know or got the one Leonard skinner'd

00:49:40.960 --> 00:49:45.059
song Oh, God. What is that one that's incredibly

00:49:45.059 --> 00:49:46.940
overplayed as well? It's not simple, man, is

00:49:46.940 --> 00:49:53.079
it? No. No. Free Bird. Oh, yeah. So you and like

00:49:53.079 --> 00:49:54.800
those songs are almost like a joke now because

00:49:54.800 --> 00:49:57.139
it's like they got so overplayed. And I think

00:49:57.139 --> 00:50:00.639
Chapel, it's kind of like in that. But it's also

00:50:00.639 --> 00:50:03.440
kind of it's there's a reason. There's a reason

00:50:03.440 --> 00:50:06.440
people want to hear it. Right. And that's. Honestly,

00:50:06.780 --> 00:50:10.059
I love defending Nickelback. I like Nickelback.

00:50:10.260 --> 00:50:13.059
Oh no. Nickelback got overplayed to the point

00:50:13.059 --> 00:50:15.699
where they made it number one on the charts with

00:50:15.699 --> 00:50:19.599
What's what's the one song? Remind me who I really

00:50:19.599 --> 00:50:22.920
am. Look at the photograph. Not photograph. It's

00:50:22.920 --> 00:50:26.320
the it's the other Nickelback song. I love Rockstar

00:50:26.320 --> 00:50:30.239
by the way. Yeah, it's got a catchy hook man.

00:50:30.280 --> 00:50:36.409
I agree Yeah, it's it's all which one is it how

00:50:36.409 --> 00:50:45.389
you remind me. Yeah from 2001 That's it yep,

00:50:45.389 --> 00:50:47.389
so you're gonna get you'll get copyright strike

00:50:47.389 --> 00:50:50.010
Number one on the charts and that is the last

00:50:50.010 --> 00:50:52.150
rock song that has made it to number one on the

00:50:52.150 --> 00:50:54.690
charts But it's for the same reason. It's not

00:50:54.690 --> 00:50:56.989
a bad song. It was overplayed to the point where

00:50:56.989 --> 00:50:59.130
people were like, please fucking get Nickelback

00:50:59.130 --> 00:51:02.929
off the radio. Yes, correct. Yeah, I agree. So

00:51:02.929 --> 00:51:06.150
same argument, but it's like Nickelback didn't

00:51:06.150 --> 00:51:09.170
do that. Radio stations did that. The music labels

00:51:09.170 --> 00:51:13.510
did that. Right. Yeah. That's true. All right.

00:51:13.630 --> 00:51:18.650
Chapel Rowan moves on. The last one, Bad Bunny,

00:51:19.269 --> 00:51:25.750
Lady Gaga. Six and seven seed six seven six Six

00:51:25.750 --> 00:51:29.809
seven now we're past that apparently we are It's

00:51:29.809 --> 00:51:33.510
come full circle. It was like It was like cool

00:51:33.510 --> 00:51:37.070
hip weird gen a thing right and then it became

00:51:37.070 --> 00:51:39.909
uncool And now it's come full circle to like

00:51:39.909 --> 00:51:42.469
oh now. It's ironically cool now. It's ironically

00:51:42.469 --> 00:51:45.739
right. I remember six seven. Yeah I wonder how

00:51:45.739 --> 00:51:47.760
many football players change their jersey. Right.

00:51:47.900 --> 00:51:50.039
It's like, oh man, I can't be... I can't be 67

00:51:50.039 --> 00:51:52.960
anymore. It's like a lineman. It's like, I guess

00:51:52.960 --> 00:51:59.559
68 works. 68's fine. I... Bless Bad Bunny. I

00:51:59.559 --> 00:52:01.360
thought his halftime show was incredible. It

00:52:01.360 --> 00:52:04.679
was great. And I don't want to sound ignorant

00:52:04.679 --> 00:52:08.099
saying this, but when I'm listening to music,

00:52:08.239 --> 00:52:13.760
I love lyrics. I love the message of songs. I

00:52:13.760 --> 00:52:19.059
love the tone of songs. And I only speak English,

00:52:19.219 --> 00:52:22.659
and that is my own fault. I never took the time

00:52:22.659 --> 00:52:27.000
to fully learn Spanish. I can simply like find

00:52:27.000 --> 00:52:30.820
my way around like, oh, donde es el baño, you

00:52:30.820 --> 00:52:35.280
know? Yeah. So I have to lean towards Lady Gaga

00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:38.019
on this one, but that's just because I don't

00:52:38.019 --> 00:52:40.940
speak Spanish. Correct. I'm sure a Spanish -speaking

00:52:40.940 --> 00:52:44.300
person would probably argue a bad bunny, and

00:52:44.300 --> 00:52:47.199
that's totally legitimate. That's totally valid.

00:52:47.960 --> 00:52:49.780
Right. English is the language I speak. It's

00:52:49.780 --> 00:52:53.500
the only one I speak fluently. I gotta go leggy

00:52:53.500 --> 00:52:56.159
-gag on this one. Yeah, I'm kind of the same

00:52:56.159 --> 00:53:00.039
way. And let me just say, as a performer, as

00:53:00.039 --> 00:53:03.260
a dude, like... I would want to have a beer with

00:53:03.260 --> 00:53:05.639
Bad Bunny. He just seems like a really cool dude.

00:53:05.659 --> 00:53:08.059
He seems super chill. I loved his little thing

00:53:08.059 --> 00:53:11.480
he did like when he was first on WWE. Right.

00:53:11.500 --> 00:53:12.940
I was like, who's this little guy? I was like,

00:53:12.940 --> 00:53:15.019
who's this chode, right? He's got little pom

00:53:15.019 --> 00:53:16.679
-poms in his head or something. I was like, I

00:53:16.679 --> 00:53:18.460
don't know about this. And then he started fighting

00:53:18.460 --> 00:53:20.980
and I was like, oh, he got moves. He clearly

00:53:20.980 --> 00:53:24.079
put the work in. This man, train. Yep. I was

00:53:24.079 --> 00:53:26.699
like, okay, this is cool now. He's kind of cool.

00:53:27.059 --> 00:53:30.889
Yeah. And as a performer, he's amazing. Oh, I

00:53:30.889 --> 00:53:34.250
agree. I agree. And going up against Lady Gaga,

00:53:34.829 --> 00:53:38.289
you're going up against pop royalty. She's like

00:53:38.289 --> 00:53:41.389
this generation's Madonna in my... The 21st century.

00:53:41.889 --> 00:53:43.670
The Madonna of the 21st century. I really kind

00:53:43.670 --> 00:53:46.829
of feel that way. And quite frankly, more talented.

00:53:46.969 --> 00:53:49.429
Her range is incredible. Her voice is amazing.

00:53:49.989 --> 00:53:53.650
Incredible. Yeah, her voice is amazing. Once

00:53:53.650 --> 00:53:57.320
again, she just... She has such vision. for what

00:53:57.320 --> 00:54:01.059
she does and how she presents it and the vocals

00:54:01.059 --> 00:54:04.000
and the music and all of that. And I just don't

00:54:04.000 --> 00:54:05.820
say that because she's a huge Metallica and Iron

00:54:05.820 --> 00:54:09.179
Maiden fan. That's great. I love that. Game respects

00:54:09.179 --> 00:54:12.980
game. Game respects game. But she also did a

00:54:12.980 --> 00:54:15.860
song with Tony Bennett. And this was just a couple

00:54:15.860 --> 00:54:19.360
of years before he passed when Tony was like

00:54:19.360 --> 00:54:21.420
pushing 90 and still out there doing concerts

00:54:21.420 --> 00:54:24.480
and stuff and just still sounded great. And the

00:54:24.480 --> 00:54:28.210
two of them did a song together. And I I love

00:54:28.210 --> 00:54:31.349
that like she'll work with anyone. She'll she'll

00:54:31.349 --> 00:54:33.949
work with anyone good and I give Lady Gaga props

00:54:33.949 --> 00:54:37.769
on this She she has called out Kanye when Kanye's

00:54:37.769 --> 00:54:40.170
being a piece of shit Yeah, she has called out

00:54:40.170 --> 00:54:43.650
music producers and writers when they are manipulative

00:54:43.650 --> 00:54:47.170
or abusive Refuses to work with them and you

00:54:47.170 --> 00:54:50.449
have to respect an ethic like that. I think you

00:54:50.449 --> 00:54:53.869
do I think you do and once again It kind of like

00:54:53.869 --> 00:54:55.909
Green Day when Lady Gaga first came out. I didn't

00:54:55.909 --> 00:54:58.380
get her I'm like, that's kind of a weird chick.

00:54:58.920 --> 00:55:00.500
You know, kind of like Bjork. Bjork's kind of

00:55:00.500 --> 00:55:03.039
weird, but it's still kind of fun. Like the first

00:55:03.039 --> 00:55:06.400
time I heard Poker Face, I was like, I don't

00:55:06.400 --> 00:55:09.400
know if this is for me. Yeah. But then again,

00:55:09.400 --> 00:55:11.599
that's a radio thing. They played Poker Face

00:55:11.599 --> 00:55:15.420
every 15 minutes. You know, but then like she

00:55:15.420 --> 00:55:17.840
did applause and she did. There's so many other

00:55:17.840 --> 00:55:21.079
songs are so catchy and good. And yeah, I mean,

00:55:21.179 --> 00:55:24.610
she's she's moving on. Yep. She is definitely

00:55:24.610 --> 00:55:26.889
moving on. Down to the Elite Eight. The Elite

00:55:26.889 --> 00:55:30.510
Eight. Jesus God. Look at this. This is crazy.

00:55:30.869 --> 00:55:34.449
It's oops all bangers. Yeah. And we've been deliberating

00:55:34.449 --> 00:55:39.190
for almost an hour. Almost an hour. Holy. Okay.

00:55:39.869 --> 00:55:43.769
Hip -hop. Finals. Eminem and Kendrick. Fuck.

00:55:44.590 --> 00:55:52.900
Right? Right? Oh no. Oh no. Do you take the underdog

00:55:52.900 --> 00:55:55.480
out of Detroit or do you take the underdog out

00:55:55.480 --> 00:55:59.059
of Compton? Right. Holy shit. And you can argue

00:55:59.059 --> 00:56:02.760
they're both goats. They are. They are. They're

00:56:02.760 --> 00:56:06.000
number one and number two for a reason. Oh no.

00:56:06.500 --> 00:56:09.340
I can't. I can't. I don't know. I don't know.

00:56:10.119 --> 00:56:14.860
This is really hard. That's what she said. Boy

00:56:14.860 --> 00:56:19.260
oh boy oh boy. I don't know. How do you weigh

00:56:19.260 --> 00:56:22.480
this? How do you weigh this? I don't know how

00:56:22.480 --> 00:56:26.639
you do it. I really don't. Both have their connections

00:56:26.639 --> 00:56:32.400
to Dre and Snoop. Yes. They always work with

00:56:32.400 --> 00:56:35.900
incredible, talented people. They themselves

00:56:35.900 --> 00:56:40.639
are incredibly talented. I mean... Wow. Can we

00:56:40.639 --> 00:56:42.880
just not pick? Can we just leave it? Can we not

00:56:42.880 --> 00:56:45.380
pick? I know. Where's cast when you need your

00:56:45.380 --> 00:56:54.469
cast? Pick one for us. Oh my god. Man. Right?

00:56:55.150 --> 00:57:00.989
Right? I lean Kendrick. Yeah. I'm leaning number

00:57:00.989 --> 00:57:05.349
two seed, Kendrick Lamar. And it's hard to articulate

00:57:05.349 --> 00:57:09.730
why. Yeah. Because you can argue their discography

00:57:09.730 --> 00:57:13.809
slash catalog, they're both, both of them have

00:57:13.809 --> 00:57:16.750
legendary discographies. Yeah, oh yeah. They

00:57:16.750 --> 00:57:20.690
both put on remarkable performances. They both

00:57:20.690 --> 00:57:26.550
have social commentary in their songs that is

00:57:26.550 --> 00:57:30.289
important. I don't know. I don't know. It's hard

00:57:30.289 --> 00:57:35.889
to articulate why. I cannot figure it out. Me

00:57:35.889 --> 00:57:39.789
neither. Me neither. Should we actually flip

00:57:39.789 --> 00:57:43.710
a coin? I can flip a coin right now. Is there

00:57:43.710 --> 00:57:46.929
any way you can go to like Google or AI and just

00:57:46.929 --> 00:57:50.369
put in Eminem or Kendrick who's better and see

00:57:50.369 --> 00:57:53.010
what they say? We're gonna we're gonna go to

00:57:53.010 --> 00:57:55.329
our we're gonna let our phone make the decision

00:57:55.329 --> 00:58:00.480
and see Okay, top result from Google Eminem and

00:58:00.480 --> 00:58:02.500
Kendrick Lamar are considered two of the greatest

00:58:02.500 --> 00:58:05.320
lyricists in hip -hop often debated for their

00:58:05.320 --> 00:58:08.480
technical skill versus artistic depth Eminem

00:58:08.480 --> 00:58:11.860
is widely viewed as superior in battle rap cadence

00:58:11.860 --> 00:58:15.820
and rhyme schemes. Okay, which I can Understand

00:58:15.820 --> 00:58:18.460
and agree with Kendrick is acclaimed for his

00:58:18.460 --> 00:58:21.780
storytelling introspective albums and social

00:58:21.780 --> 00:58:24.719
commentary, which I can also agree with right

00:58:25.519 --> 00:58:28.260
So are we agreeing that Google was no help? Yes.

00:58:29.079 --> 00:58:41.900
Jesus. Oh, man. Oh, man. Wow. You know, OK. I'll

00:58:41.900 --> 00:58:44.920
articulate why I'm leaning Kendrick. OK. And

00:58:44.920 --> 00:58:48.420
I don't please Eminem. God, if you listen to

00:58:48.420 --> 00:58:51.849
this. If you listen to this podcast, we do love

00:58:51.849 --> 00:58:54.730
you. Please don't write a diss track about me.

00:58:55.889 --> 00:58:59.550
I'm leaning Kendrick because I don't think Kendrick

00:58:59.550 --> 00:59:02.829
has missed. Knock on wood, I don't think Kendrick

00:59:02.829 --> 00:59:05.929
has missed. You've got GNX, Good Kid Mad City,

00:59:06.070 --> 00:59:10.090
To Pimp a Butterfly, Damn, Section 80. There

00:59:10.090 --> 00:59:12.670
have been Eminem albums where I've listened to

00:59:12.670 --> 00:59:15.630
it and I'm like, this just isn't it. Oh, okay.

00:59:16.030 --> 00:59:20.099
Kamikaze, I think. Had good songs. I think it

00:59:20.099 --> 00:59:23.559
had songs that were just misses. Okay, they're

00:59:23.559 --> 00:59:27.719
I don't I forget what the one Album of his was

00:59:27.719 --> 00:59:30.780
called that was kind of acclaimed as like bad

00:59:30.780 --> 00:59:38.400
Eminem album. Oh Okay Let me see here Go through

00:59:38.400 --> 00:59:40.760
and the death of some shady by the way excellent

00:59:40.760 --> 00:59:43.960
album. Yeah charted number one. Yeah kamikaze

00:59:43.960 --> 00:59:48.519
was kind of a mess then people always thought

00:59:48.519 --> 00:59:53.980
I think I know if it was revival or Yeah, there

00:59:53.980 --> 00:59:56.260
was one other one that that people really didn't

00:59:56.260 --> 00:59:59.500
connect with and that's not to say Everything

00:59:59.500 --> 01:00:01.920
else he's done isn't legendary it is right But

01:00:01.920 --> 01:00:03.960
I got a lean Kendrick on this one because I don't

01:00:03.960 --> 01:00:07.460
I think he just has not missed okay Kendrick

01:00:07.460 --> 01:00:11.480
moves on I will I will go with you Metallica

01:00:11.480 --> 01:00:14.000
versus Iron Maiden in the metal hard rock category

01:00:14.000 --> 01:00:18.110
damn Yep Hey, remember those things I was saying

01:00:18.110 --> 01:00:21.190
about Metallica a little bit ago? Yeah. I think

01:00:21.190 --> 01:00:25.269
I'm leaning Iron Maiden. I am too. And here's

01:00:25.269 --> 01:00:27.829
where I'm going with this, because I think their

01:00:27.829 --> 01:00:31.989
discographies are both epic. I agree. But like

01:00:31.989 --> 01:00:35.170
you said, with the Eminem, I think in the middle

01:00:35.170 --> 01:00:38.309
of their discography, I think there's just two

01:00:38.309 --> 01:00:40.610
or three albums that were misses. Yeah. Or it's

01:00:40.610 --> 01:00:42.230
like, we're going for this different sound. And

01:00:42.230 --> 01:00:45.900
everybody was kind of like, meh. That ain't it.

01:00:46.480 --> 01:00:49.179
And the thrash community really kind of was like,

01:00:49.260 --> 01:00:51.320
where you guys go? And this is like, it's almost

01:00:51.320 --> 01:00:54.039
pop rock in some of their songs or whatever.

01:00:55.739 --> 01:00:58.099
Whereas Maiden's been Maiden. Yeah. Maiden doesn't

01:00:58.099 --> 01:01:00.219
try to be anybody else. Just Maiden is Maiden.

01:01:00.420 --> 01:01:05.280
Yeah. So I really like and respect that. And

01:01:05.280 --> 01:01:08.099
from a live show perspective, Metallica does

01:01:08.099 --> 01:01:10.119
this thing called the round. So there are stages

01:01:10.119 --> 01:01:13.019
in the middle of the stadium. So they really...

01:01:13.039 --> 01:01:17.300
Minimal pyro minimal effects all that kind of

01:01:17.300 --> 01:01:20.960
stuff And they just play now the upside to that

01:01:20.960 --> 01:01:22.920
no matter where you sit in that stadium. You

01:01:22.920 --> 01:01:25.099
got a good seat Yeah, you're gonna see and then

01:01:25.099 --> 01:01:27.500
the stage stage stage kind of moves around and

01:01:27.500 --> 01:01:32.460
stuff. So like that part is good But there is

01:01:32.460 --> 01:01:35.559
not a better stage show and rock or metal than

01:01:35.559 --> 01:01:38.090
Iron Maid. I'd agree I mean, when you sit there

01:01:38.090 --> 01:01:40.969
and listen to Aces High, and you have a British

01:01:40.969 --> 01:01:45.030
Spitfire, an actual British Spitfire plane hanging

01:01:45.030 --> 01:01:48.690
above the stage, dodging, bobbing, weaving, all

01:01:48.690 --> 01:01:51.809
that shit. It's like, I don't know how anyone

01:01:51.809 --> 01:01:53.989
on this planet cannot sit here and be in awe

01:01:53.989 --> 01:01:55.949
of what we're looking at right here. It's so

01:01:55.949 --> 01:01:58.050
cool. You know, the whole intro to that song

01:01:58.050 --> 01:02:00.510
with Churchill, it's just, it's unbelievable.

01:02:01.150 --> 01:02:04.630
So, from that perspective, I would give Maiden,

01:02:04.730 --> 01:02:09.840
I think, the advantage. I agree. Okay, this is

01:02:09.840 --> 01:02:12.500
gonna be interesting. So we've had two, two seeds

01:02:12.500 --> 01:02:14.639
move on. Two, two seeds, yeah. And that is about

01:02:14.639 --> 01:02:17.840
to change. That is about to change drastically.

01:02:18.579 --> 01:02:21.739
Alt -Rock Grunge, Alice in Chains, 21 Pilots.

01:02:21.920 --> 01:02:28.639
A 12 seed and a 6 seed. Yeah. Oh no. Oh no. This

01:02:28.639 --> 01:02:31.300
is really super hard because I was an Alice in

01:02:31.300 --> 01:02:36.000
Chains fan from day one. Whereas I joined the

01:02:36.000 --> 01:02:40.179
21 Pilots. fandom very late into their discography.

01:02:41.239 --> 01:02:43.179
But doesn't mean I don't appreciate everything

01:02:43.179 --> 01:02:47.940
they did. And I do. Alice in Chains, mind you,

01:02:48.119 --> 01:02:50.079
they don't have a lot of albums. This is true.

01:02:50.440 --> 01:02:53.219
They're that epic, and they don't have a lot

01:02:53.219 --> 01:02:55.780
of their own original music floating out there.

01:02:55.780 --> 01:02:58.239
Right. You've got like the big three, right?

01:02:58.460 --> 01:03:03.280
You've got, what is it, Dirt, Jar Flies, and

01:03:03.280 --> 01:03:08.480
Facelift. Yes. And I would take that... It's

01:03:08.480 --> 01:03:10.980
tough to say. I think I would take that over

01:03:10.980 --> 01:03:14.800
Blurryface and Trench. Would you? I think I would.

01:03:15.360 --> 01:03:19.300
I lean Alice in Chains. Are you? I lean the Cinderella

01:03:19.300 --> 01:03:22.119
story. Are you really? Bless the 21 Pilots for

01:03:22.119 --> 01:03:26.039
their amazing music. I would listen to Alice

01:03:26.039 --> 01:03:31.280
in Chains first. Man. See, that's the thing.

01:03:31.420 --> 01:03:35.070
It's with... Them not producing a lot of music

01:03:35.070 --> 01:03:37.170
currently. They're still on tour and they they

01:03:37.170 --> 01:03:39.349
do all that which is why they're in the in the

01:03:39.349 --> 01:03:41.250
You know in the tournament. Yeah, they fit the

01:03:41.250 --> 01:03:43.869
standard they fit the standard but 21 pilots

01:03:43.869 --> 01:03:46.829
are still making music they're still going on

01:03:46.829 --> 01:03:50.829
worldwide tours and As I said, it's I just find

01:03:50.829 --> 01:03:56.170
it to be very unique and fun and They're there

01:03:56.170 --> 01:03:58.670
in my opinion. They're they're the kings in the

01:03:58.670 --> 01:04:02.250
alt rock genre sure They're definitely the biggest

01:04:02.250 --> 01:04:04.690
name. Biggest name. Yeah. Yeah, I think that's

01:04:04.690 --> 01:04:10.809
fair. Boy, oh boy. Do you have a... Are you leading

01:04:10.809 --> 01:04:15.050
21? I am. You can move them on. Are you sure?

01:04:15.090 --> 01:04:17.210
I think they fit the standard better that we

01:04:17.210 --> 01:04:23.329
set. I think rest is soul. I think losing your

01:04:23.329 --> 01:04:26.869
lead singer is always tough and that's always

01:04:26.869 --> 01:04:29.449
hard to come back from. I know Linkin Park...

01:04:30.000 --> 01:04:32.980
who we did have in this set, or no, they were

01:04:32.980 --> 01:04:35.559
in the first set, I think. Right, they got bounced

01:04:35.559 --> 01:04:38.420
early. Yeah. And they have a new singer now.

01:04:38.420 --> 01:04:40.539
I think she's amazing, but it's always - But

01:04:40.539 --> 01:04:42.139
they're different. It's always tough to come

01:04:42.139 --> 01:04:44.099
back, and they're different. They're different

01:04:44.099 --> 01:04:48.079
band now. Yep. They really are. 21 Pilots move

01:04:48.079 --> 01:04:49.340
on. All right, they move on. They move on. We're

01:04:49.340 --> 01:04:53.599
now - Succeed. To number four, Chappell Roan,

01:04:53.619 --> 01:04:58.079
number seven, Lady Gaga, in the top 40 pop category.

01:04:58.519 --> 01:05:03.500
And so you're talking a newer artist that just

01:05:03.500 --> 01:05:07.559
shot into the stratosphere. That album is pretty

01:05:07.559 --> 01:05:10.780
great. Yeah. She won a gazillion awards for it

01:05:10.780 --> 01:05:14.840
for a reason. Yep. And then someone who has just

01:05:14.840 --> 01:05:18.139
sustained this amazing career. Incredible career.

01:05:18.539 --> 01:05:23.219
Yeah. Yeah. And this is a heavyweight boxing

01:05:23.219 --> 01:05:27.860
match. It's a boxing match. Yeah. I had four

01:05:27.860 --> 01:05:31.519
seed Chaperone, seven seed Lady Gaga. Oh, might

01:05:31.519 --> 01:05:33.840
be late in the game. I'm feeling upset city.

01:05:34.380 --> 01:05:38.699
Are you? I'm feeling upset city. I think if you

01:05:38.699 --> 01:05:42.440
were to ask anyone in the streets who is the

01:05:42.440 --> 01:05:45.059
bigger pop artist in their career, they're going

01:05:45.059 --> 01:05:48.159
to say Lady Gaga over Chaperone. And that's not

01:05:48.159 --> 01:05:54.719
to discount Chaperone's accolades or talent.

01:05:55.199 --> 01:05:59.059
But that's just to say Lady Gaga has been incredible

01:05:59.059 --> 01:06:02.860
for a decade and a half. Sure. So... And if not

01:06:02.860 --> 01:06:08.039
longer. One could argue one of Chappell Rhone's

01:06:08.039 --> 01:06:10.420
artists that she looks up to would probably be

01:06:10.420 --> 01:06:12.219
Lady Gaga. Would be Lady Gaga, sure. I would

01:06:12.219 --> 01:06:15.039
think. Gotta go Gaga. Okay, we're moving her

01:06:15.039 --> 01:06:21.179
on. So, yeah. The final four. Oh my god, how

01:06:21.179 --> 01:06:24.400
are we doing this? I know, right? So... Just

01:06:24.400 --> 01:06:26.840
because of where we place them. It's hip -hop

01:06:26.840 --> 01:06:30.079
against metal and hard rock. God, that was stupid

01:06:30.079 --> 01:06:34.639
for me. Kendrick Lamar versus Iron Maiden. Holy

01:06:34.639 --> 01:06:41.079
shit. Oh my god. Yeah, once you go in between

01:06:41.079 --> 01:06:44.739
genres and start comparing his work, it's even

01:06:44.739 --> 01:06:47.980
more difficult. Yes. Oh yeah, for sure. Because

01:06:47.980 --> 01:06:50.639
you've got Iron Maiden who, God, what do they

01:06:50.639 --> 01:06:53.780
have, 20 albums? Yeah. under their belt, give

01:06:53.780 --> 01:06:58.420
or take. And then you've got Kendrick, who off

01:06:58.420 --> 01:07:00.900
-jump has just been remarkable. That's not to

01:07:00.900 --> 01:07:04.719
say Iron Maiden hasn't. They also have. I think

01:07:04.719 --> 01:07:07.960
what was their first one or two albums were without

01:07:07.960 --> 01:07:11.920
Bruce Dickinson? That is correct, yeah. And that's

01:07:11.920 --> 01:07:14.699
not to say they were bad. No, they were different.

01:07:15.039 --> 01:07:18.260
They were different. They sounded, because Diano

01:07:18.260 --> 01:07:22.650
had more of a punk sound to him. Which was very

01:07:22.650 --> 01:07:26.309
interesting because Steve Harris hates, like

01:07:26.309 --> 01:07:30.489
I do not joke, all caps, hates punk music. But

01:07:30.489 --> 01:07:32.469
you had to be alive at that time to understand

01:07:32.469 --> 01:07:35.670
the punk metal rivalry as it came out of London.

01:07:36.409 --> 01:07:39.230
Like these guys got in fights and it was like

01:07:39.230 --> 01:07:42.789
they hated each other for what they were. Could

01:07:42.789 --> 01:07:46.650
not stand them. So Diano had more of a punk sound

01:07:46.650 --> 01:07:48.449
to him. So when you listen to those first two

01:07:48.449 --> 01:07:51.510
albums, they do sound a little different. but

01:07:51.510 --> 01:07:54.289
Steve Harris doesn't and Adrian Smith doesn't

01:07:54.289 --> 01:07:56.750
like they still sound how they sound but they

01:07:56.750 --> 01:07:59.329
also had Clyde Burr who was a good drummer but

01:07:59.329 --> 01:08:02.070
not a great drummer so those first two albums

01:08:02.070 --> 01:08:05.630
still classic great songs i love hearing Bruce

01:08:05.630 --> 01:08:09.530
do some of those songs yeah yeah but then when

01:08:09.530 --> 01:08:14.170
it came to you know peace of mind and power slave

01:08:14.170 --> 01:08:17.829
and somewhere in time and it's just like just

01:08:17.829 --> 01:08:20.390
amazed, like talk about albums you can listen

01:08:20.390 --> 01:08:23.670
to the entire album. Right. And I often say that's

01:08:23.670 --> 01:08:26.789
the sign of a great band or a great artist when

01:08:26.789 --> 01:08:28.970
you can just, you know, you're just not hitting

01:08:28.970 --> 01:08:30.909
something for a track or two. Like, it's like,

01:08:30.909 --> 01:08:34.310
I like this whole album. Right. Yeah. Right.

01:08:34.590 --> 01:08:36.489
And you could argue the same with Kendrick. I

01:08:36.489 --> 01:08:40.350
mean, you want to talk about lyricism. Lyricism

01:08:40.350 --> 01:08:44.010
goes in between genres. It's just what is is

01:08:44.010 --> 01:08:48.229
wrote down for the singer to say. Mm -hmm. And

01:08:48.229 --> 01:08:53.369
both Iron Maiden and Kendrick Lamar are in the

01:08:53.369 --> 01:08:57.069
upper echelon of lyricists ever. It's just what

01:08:57.069 --> 01:08:59.829
they're singing about is different. Yeah. Oh,

01:08:59.829 --> 01:09:07.189
yeah. And this is so tough for me. Yeah. I'm

01:09:07.189 --> 01:09:13.409
leaning towards Maiden simply based on I've been

01:09:13.409 --> 01:09:15.510
a fan of theirs longer than his, although I'm

01:09:15.510 --> 01:09:18.649
a fan of both. And I've seen them live, I've

01:09:18.649 --> 01:09:20.649
even seen Kendrick live. I'm sure that would

01:09:20.649 --> 01:09:21.710
be an amazing show. That would be incredible.

01:09:21.770 --> 01:09:24.390
That would be an incredible show. So I'm just,

01:09:24.409 --> 01:09:29.170
I'm kind of just giving Maiden the edge over

01:09:29.170 --> 01:09:33.949
Kendrick. Which is hard. Yeah. To do. I think...

01:09:33.949 --> 01:09:36.189
I'm gonna have to roll with you because I was...

01:09:36.329 --> 01:09:38.930
I don't know. Half of me was just like, I think

01:09:38.930 --> 01:09:41.850
I have to abstain. Right. I think I'm going to

01:09:41.850 --> 01:09:44.350
be like the average congressperson and no vote.

01:09:44.630 --> 01:09:46.989
No vote and leave it all up to me. Yeah, right.

01:09:47.289 --> 01:09:52.050
Come at me, Kendrick fans. Yeah, great. So now

01:09:52.050 --> 01:09:54.250
we have Eminem and Kendrick going to be writing

01:09:54.250 --> 01:10:00.069
a diss track about us. Oh, great. Awesome. At

01:10:00.069 --> 01:10:02.729
least we're not Drake. We'll be known. Yeah,

01:10:02.750 --> 01:10:07.189
right You know whether that's good or not Okay,

01:10:07.270 --> 01:10:11.090
we're down to all rock grunge versus top 40 pop

01:10:11.090 --> 01:10:15.050
21 pilots Lady Gaga. That's also tough I know

01:10:15.050 --> 01:10:19.449
that's also tough and I I'm gonna do it again.

01:10:19.649 --> 01:10:24.970
I'm gonna let my my genre flag colors fly and

01:10:24.970 --> 01:10:30.489
just say in my opinion subjectively Yeah. I enjoy

01:10:30.489 --> 01:10:32.670
listening to Twenty One Pilots more than Lady

01:10:32.670 --> 01:10:37.109
Gaga. Yes. And we've talked extensively about

01:10:37.109 --> 01:10:40.350
their discographies and their talent, but pop

01:10:40.350 --> 01:10:44.090
is just not my genre. Yeah, I get it. It's not

01:10:44.090 --> 01:10:47.189
my genre. I lean Twenty One Pilots. I do too

01:10:47.189 --> 01:10:51.109
from kind of the same reason that you have as

01:10:51.109 --> 01:10:56.170
well. And that is as talented as she is. Incredibly

01:10:56.170 --> 01:10:59.460
talented. And just seems to be good people. Yeah.

01:10:59.739 --> 01:11:03.399
Yeah, I would agree. But I don't know. And this

01:11:03.399 --> 01:11:07.939
is just personal preference, right? I enjoy bands.

01:11:08.220 --> 01:11:11.020
I enjoy more than just like, you listen to Lady

01:11:11.020 --> 01:11:13.699
Gaga, you're listening to Lady Gaga. Sure. For

01:11:13.699 --> 01:11:16.479
me, it's, you know, you listen to 21 Pods, you

01:11:16.479 --> 01:11:18.579
listen to Maiden, or you listen to Metallica,

01:11:18.600 --> 01:11:20.859
or whoever. I'm listening to the singer. I'm

01:11:20.859 --> 01:11:23.989
listening to the bass. bass player. I'm listening

01:11:23.989 --> 01:11:26.569
to dual guitars going back and forth. Yep. I'm

01:11:26.569 --> 01:11:28.770
listening to the drummer. I'm listening for those

01:11:28.770 --> 01:11:32.489
time chains. Like, that's the shit that gets

01:11:32.489 --> 01:11:38.310
me going musically. Yeah. And with most pop music,

01:11:38.869 --> 01:11:42.909
it's just kind of formulaic. in their signatures,

01:11:42.909 --> 01:11:46.210
I think, largely. Like, there was a story one

01:11:46.210 --> 01:11:47.770
time that I read that there are actually three

01:11:47.770 --> 01:11:50.250
people responsible for, like, 4 ,000 pop songs.

01:11:50.909 --> 01:11:56.250
And it is because, like, the sound to it, you

01:11:56.250 --> 01:11:58.750
can go song to song to song to song and go, oh

01:11:58.750 --> 01:12:01.210
my god, these are all the same. And so that's

01:12:01.210 --> 01:12:05.010
why, you know, pop music, in all of its importance,

01:12:05.569 --> 01:12:11.020
from Michael Jackson to Prince, to Madonna, all

01:12:11.020 --> 01:12:13.699
the way to Dua Lipa and Chapel Run, Lady Gaga.

01:12:13.819 --> 01:12:17.619
I mean, they all have played that important role

01:12:17.619 --> 01:12:20.420
in music without a question. But if I'm looking

01:12:20.420 --> 01:12:24.420
for straight up musicianship and lyrics and everything

01:12:24.420 --> 01:12:27.680
else, I just, I more often go with great classic

01:12:27.680 --> 01:12:31.800
bands than I do like a pop performer, you know,

01:12:31.800 --> 01:12:35.800
for me. So I think we agree. I think it's 21

01:12:35.800 --> 01:12:44.640
Pilots versus Iron Maiden. Yep. Yepers. Well,

01:12:44.640 --> 01:12:49.359
I have my answer. I do, too. And it's not fair

01:12:49.359 --> 01:12:53.279
to this other band who's been so impactful and

01:12:53.279 --> 01:12:57.819
influential in the last 10 to 15 years. But you're

01:12:57.819 --> 01:13:00.659
talking about a band who's been around since

01:13:00.659 --> 01:13:05.760
1987, 1980? Right. And it's just banger after

01:13:05.760 --> 01:13:08.840
banger after banger after hit after hit. Yeah.

01:13:10.000 --> 01:13:12.380
And 21 pilots would probably agree. They'd probably

01:13:12.380 --> 01:13:16.399
vote with us too. Yeah. I think I have to go

01:13:16.399 --> 01:13:19.239
Iron Maiden in this. I agree. I think Iron Maiden

01:13:19.239 --> 01:13:22.939
wins. And the part that's making my brain go

01:13:22.939 --> 01:13:27.539
like, wow, how strange, is how much more difficult

01:13:27.539 --> 01:13:30.859
the Elite Eight and the Final Four were to decide.

01:13:31.149 --> 01:13:34.029
They were. Than this matchup. Yes. Like it was,

01:13:34.029 --> 01:13:36.270
it ended up 21 versus Iron Maiden, and I'm like,

01:13:36.409 --> 01:13:39.409
oh, Iron Maiden. Well, it was, right. Yeah. Just

01:13:39.409 --> 01:13:42.090
because of how that matchup was, but quite frankly,

01:13:42.789 --> 01:13:45.270
if we look at Maiden, and if it were Maiden in

01:13:45.270 --> 01:13:47.189
Lady Gaga, or Maiden in Chapel Rowan, or Maiden

01:13:47.189 --> 01:13:48.550
in Alice in Chains, it would still be Maiden.

01:13:48.550 --> 01:13:51.250
Yeah. For me. I mean, it really would. They're

01:13:51.250 --> 01:13:53.550
just a different stratus. A different breed.

01:13:53.689 --> 01:13:56.930
They really are. They really are. Well, hopefully

01:13:56.930 --> 01:13:59.170
you like that. There's probably some of you.

01:13:59.210 --> 01:14:01.670
I'm sure everyone's bracket is broken. Bracket's

01:14:01.670 --> 01:14:05.090
broken. I'm sure there's some of you, especially

01:14:05.090 --> 01:14:08.189
maybe, you know, Gen Zers or Gen Alpha, there's

01:14:08.189 --> 01:14:10.529
just like, who's Iron Maiden? Chances are you

01:14:10.529 --> 01:14:11.930
know who Iron Maiden is. You're probably wearing

01:14:11.930 --> 01:14:13.289
their t -shirt and you don't even know who they

01:14:13.289 --> 01:14:16.810
are. But I do have to say, like, when I go to

01:14:16.810 --> 01:14:20.810
Maiden shows, I do see 10, 11, 12, 13 year olds,

01:14:21.130 --> 01:14:24.979
because... grandparents who are Maiden fans have

01:14:24.979 --> 01:14:27.300
their kids who are Maiden fans that have their

01:14:27.300 --> 01:14:29.779
kids who are Maiden fans. And it's almost like

01:14:29.779 --> 01:14:31.659
the Grateful Dead of this era. It's like people

01:14:31.659 --> 01:14:34.380
understand Maiden and they love the music and

01:14:34.380 --> 01:14:37.220
they love the lyrics and they love the theatrics

01:14:37.220 --> 01:14:41.140
and everything at the shows. And I mean, they're

01:14:41.140 --> 01:14:43.180
under like a third, maybe a fourth generation

01:14:43.180 --> 01:14:46.020
now. It's unbelievable. I think Iron Maiden is

01:14:46.020 --> 01:14:49.840
one of the few artists, period. I'm talking artists.

01:14:50.119 --> 01:14:53.550
Any piece of art. that could or will ever be

01:14:53.550 --> 01:14:56.829
created. Iron Maiden is one of the few artists

01:14:56.829 --> 01:15:01.189
where you can have octogenarians and eight -year

01:15:01.189 --> 01:15:04.229
-olds at the same concert. At the same show.

01:15:04.510 --> 01:15:08.130
At the same show. Yep. I think that's so rare

01:15:08.130 --> 01:15:12.850
and insightful as to their influence and talent.

01:15:12.970 --> 01:15:17.630
Well, the one, and I think Ghost was in here,

01:15:17.649 --> 01:15:20.109
I think. I'm trying to think of Ghost. That sounds

01:15:20.109 --> 01:15:22.090
right. I thought Ghost was in there somewhere.

01:15:22.510 --> 01:15:24.869
Yeah. They got bounced kind of early, but I went

01:15:24.869 --> 01:15:27.569
to see a maiden show and Ghost opened for them.

01:15:27.609 --> 01:15:31.210
So naturally, there's a lot of kids who are Ghost

01:15:31.210 --> 01:15:35.069
fans, but they're not necessarily metal fans,

01:15:35.310 --> 01:15:39.210
although Ghost has a very unique sound. Sure.

01:15:39.329 --> 01:15:45.350
Different. And they're kind of hard to describe,

01:15:45.449 --> 01:15:47.979
but... Ghost open for maiden. So for me, I was

01:15:47.979 --> 01:15:49.739
really excited to see ghost and I was like this

01:15:49.739 --> 01:15:51.899
is really gonna be really cool We had these kids

01:15:51.899 --> 01:15:53.420
in front of us. They're all ghost fans They were

01:15:53.420 --> 01:15:54.819
talking about how they were just gonna bounce

01:15:54.819 --> 01:15:57.359
after ghost was done playing Yeah, and me and

01:15:57.359 --> 01:15:58.920
my friend Tom and Steve were just looking at

01:15:58.920 --> 01:16:02.000
each other like no, yeah kids cannot leave so

01:16:02.000 --> 01:16:04.560
we just got talking with them because we Liked

01:16:04.560 --> 01:16:06.319
ghosts. So we talked to him about it and they

01:16:06.319 --> 01:16:08.539
thought it was cool We're in the ghost and I'm

01:16:08.539 --> 01:16:11.810
like man open your mind You open your mind when

01:16:11.810 --> 01:16:13.670
you listen to Ghost, right? And they're different

01:16:13.670 --> 01:16:16.729
and whatever and weird and cool. Yeah. Stick

01:16:16.729 --> 01:16:19.609
around for me. Yeah. And they did. And their

01:16:19.609 --> 01:16:21.989
minds were blown. Good. And I love it. I love

01:16:21.989 --> 01:16:24.430
when that happens. Educate the youth. It is.

01:16:24.449 --> 01:16:27.569
I love it when people give it a chance. They'll

01:16:27.569 --> 01:16:29.770
just be like, I'm not really a metal fan. I'm

01:16:29.770 --> 01:16:32.770
like, but you might be. Yeah. You might be. Give

01:16:32.770 --> 01:16:35.130
these guys a chance. They're catchy as fuck.

01:16:35.869 --> 01:16:38.189
And they did their imagery and all of it. I think

01:16:38.189 --> 01:16:40.159
you're going to like it. Yeah. And most people

01:16:40.159 --> 01:16:42.760
do. Yep. Most people do. It's actually kind of

01:16:42.760 --> 01:16:44.199
cool. I have a new roommate. Her name's Cass.

01:16:44.380 --> 01:16:47.100
She's an amazing human being. The one from last

01:16:47.100 --> 01:16:49.760
episode. The one from last episode. I'm sure

01:16:49.760 --> 01:16:51.340
down the road you'll hear from her again. She

01:16:51.340 --> 01:16:55.720
was really funny. But... She has different style

01:16:55.720 --> 01:16:57.380
and different taste in music, which is okay,

01:16:57.539 --> 01:17:02.439
because I listen to her stuff. And I'm becoming

01:17:02.439 --> 01:17:04.399
fans of other music I didn't even know existed.

01:17:04.939 --> 01:17:08.199
But in my kitchen, over my stove, I have this

01:17:08.199 --> 01:17:11.880
band poster from an Iron Maiden tour. And I told

01:17:11.880 --> 01:17:13.100
her, because she has a lot of stuff to hang,

01:17:13.180 --> 01:17:14.739
I'm like, yeah, you know, if some stuff has to

01:17:14.739 --> 01:17:16.340
come down or whatever, you know, I'm like, if

01:17:16.340 --> 01:17:17.640
you want me to take that Maiden out, she's like,

01:17:17.659 --> 01:17:20.989
oh no, that's staying there. I'm like, yep. Yeah,

01:17:20.989 --> 01:17:23.149
she gets it. So I'll have to share some Iron

01:17:23.149 --> 01:17:25.430
Maiden with her at some point, and I'm sure I

01:17:25.430 --> 01:17:27.909
will. That being said, I hope you guys enjoyed

01:17:27.909 --> 01:17:31.210
this, and we're going to take a quick break.

01:17:31.529 --> 01:17:33.369
Yeah, let us know your opinions. Let us know

01:17:33.369 --> 01:17:35.189
your opinions, and we're going to fly through

01:17:35.189 --> 01:17:37.069
the last 30 minutes of the show. This is going

01:17:37.069 --> 01:17:39.409
to be Warp Speed, baby, but it's a challenge

01:17:39.409 --> 01:17:42.489
now. We're going to do it. So we'll be back.

01:17:49.709 --> 01:17:53.609
All right, we are back. And as I said, first

01:17:53.609 --> 01:17:57.350
segment ran kind of long, so we are gonna light

01:17:57.350 --> 01:17:59.510
speed through some of this, but hopefully it

01:17:59.510 --> 01:18:03.069
will be fun anyway. That's the goal. We got Carpe

01:18:03.069 --> 01:18:07.250
Diem. You guys send us your DMs. Magically, they

01:18:07.250 --> 01:18:09.310
appear right here on this podcast. The internet

01:18:09.310 --> 01:18:11.970
does feel magical sometimes. Sometimes it does.

01:18:12.210 --> 01:18:15.710
So let's see how magical it will be. I have a

01:18:15.710 --> 01:18:20.439
DM from... at Bernice Q. Tuffington. Bernice

01:18:20.439 --> 01:18:24.100
Q. Tuffington. Indeed. After my beans on toast.

01:18:25.359 --> 01:18:28.760
Delightful. Some Spotted Dick. Don't mind if

01:18:28.760 --> 01:18:33.960
I do. I love Marmite. Do you? I mean, if you

01:18:33.960 --> 01:18:35.319
got Spotted Dick, you should probably get that

01:18:35.319 --> 01:18:36.739
shit checked. I'm just going to say. Yeah, at

01:18:36.739 --> 01:18:38.399
least they have health care. Yeah, thank God.

01:18:39.399 --> 01:18:43.319
Must be nice. What is that? Bernice says, good

01:18:43.319 --> 01:18:47.199
day. Why is it so many classic names have gone

01:18:47.199 --> 01:18:51.539
the way of the dodo bird? For names like Tucker,

01:18:51.840 --> 01:18:55.159
Xander, and Dakota. Tucker, I hardly know her.

01:18:55.680 --> 01:18:59.640
Xander, I hardly know her. And Dakota, which

01:18:59.640 --> 01:19:03.939
should be one state and not two. Right. Dakota,

01:19:03.939 --> 01:19:07.279
I hardly know her. That's awesome. That's great.

01:19:07.550 --> 01:19:11.069
Now I'm all for it bernice bernice you guys had

01:19:11.069 --> 01:19:13.989
great names You know george and george and all

01:19:13.989 --> 01:19:16.970
kinds of others funny bernice is great Yeah bernice

01:19:16.970 --> 01:19:19.350
and george and I feel like tucker carlson ruined

01:19:19.350 --> 01:19:23.109
tucker for me because he's such a little cuck

01:19:23.109 --> 01:19:28.630
But I like zander there's so few x names. That's

01:19:28.630 --> 01:19:32.829
true zander xenon How cool is that? xenon is

01:19:32.829 --> 01:19:36.670
pretty great. Yeah And Dakota, Dakota's fine.

01:19:36.810 --> 01:19:40.170
Dakota feels Native American. Kind of does, yeah.

01:19:40.310 --> 01:19:42.789
Coded. Which I think is great. That is cool.

01:19:43.069 --> 01:19:45.949
Bring it back around. Bring it back around, Bernice.

01:19:46.470 --> 01:19:49.750
At they killed Kenny. I have long pondered the

01:19:49.750 --> 01:19:52.829
existence of Kenny from South Park. Kenny has

01:19:52.829 --> 01:19:56.270
been killed several hundred times, yet there

01:19:56.270 --> 01:19:59.810
he is. Is Kenny some kind of demon or is it possible

01:19:59.810 --> 01:20:04.479
he is an angel or perhaps even God? Well, if

01:20:04.479 --> 01:20:08.079
you've ever watched Supernatural, the old CW

01:20:08.079 --> 01:20:10.800
show from forever ago. Classic. Amazing show.

01:20:11.680 --> 01:20:15.319
Sometimes God writes themselves into the show.

01:20:15.659 --> 01:20:17.979
They do. Because that happens in Supernatural.

01:20:18.119 --> 01:20:20.300
I know, spoiler, but you won't know until you

01:20:20.300 --> 01:20:24.439
know and then you know. Maybe Kenny is God. Maybe.

01:20:24.659 --> 01:20:28.439
I think he is. Yeah. Every week he gets thrown

01:20:28.439 --> 01:20:32.180
in a wood chipper, run over by a semi and...

01:20:32.010 --> 01:20:34.470
There he is, the next week. Brian the dog came

01:20:34.470 --> 01:20:38.250
back from death on Family Guy. Ooh, he did. That's

01:20:38.250 --> 01:20:41.090
true. But does that mean that every immortal

01:20:41.090 --> 01:20:45.590
or regenerating character is a god? Or does this

01:20:45.590 --> 01:20:48.430
just mean they have powers? They could be demigods.

01:20:48.630 --> 01:20:51.750
They could be demigods. Good call. Yeah. Good

01:20:51.750 --> 01:20:53.840
call on that one. Hopefully we helped you out,

01:20:53.899 --> 01:20:56.720
killed Kenny. Yeah, we just made him ask more

01:20:56.720 --> 01:20:59.819
questions. Nah, he's really going to get philosophical

01:20:59.819 --> 01:21:03.159
next time he sends us a DM. Good scientists always

01:21:03.159 --> 01:21:05.439
make sure you have more questions than answers,

01:21:05.479 --> 01:21:08.560
so you never stop wondering. Never stop wondering.

01:21:09.100 --> 01:21:12.859
At Goofy Goober. Are you a Goofy Goober? Yeah.

01:21:14.439 --> 01:21:18.199
I love that, by the way. That's awesome. First

01:21:18.199 --> 01:21:22.149
of all, Goofy Goober rock. probably one of the

01:21:22.149 --> 01:21:25.029
best soundtrack songs to ever come out of an

01:21:25.029 --> 01:21:29.350
animated movie, bar none. And I believe Twisted

01:21:29.350 --> 01:21:32.130
Sister actually performed it. Oh, they did not.

01:21:32.390 --> 01:21:34.270
I believe they did. Oh, that's amazing. I believe

01:21:34.270 --> 01:21:36.069
they did. Someone out there may have to fact

01:21:36.069 --> 01:21:37.750
check me because I'm not doing live research

01:21:37.750 --> 01:21:40.210
when we're on a time crunch. Right. But I'm pretty

01:21:40.210 --> 01:21:42.510
sure Twisted Sister actually did Goofy Goober

01:21:42.510 --> 01:21:45.329
Rock. That's amazing. From the first SpongeBob

01:21:45.329 --> 01:21:48.050
SquarePants movie. Oh, my God. I love that. And

01:21:48.050 --> 01:21:50.310
I think I'm a Goofy Goober. I'm an ice cream

01:21:50.310 --> 01:21:53.310
enjoyer. I'm a little whimsical here and there.

01:21:53.310 --> 01:21:56.350
Sure. And I think that counts me in. Yeah. I

01:21:56.350 --> 01:21:58.510
mean, do I want to grab a net and chase butterflies

01:21:58.510 --> 01:22:00.689
around with a friend named Patrick? Yes, I do.

01:22:01.090 --> 01:22:03.090
Right. If we had flying jellyfish, I would be

01:22:03.090 --> 01:22:05.729
afraid. Oh, for sure. I would be afraid. But

01:22:05.729 --> 01:22:08.949
maybe I'd try to catch one. Yeah. You know, what's

01:22:08.949 --> 01:22:11.119
a squirrel doing under the sea? I'm not asking

01:22:11.119 --> 01:22:14.640
that question. Why is the crab this late -stage

01:22:14.640 --> 01:22:18.000
capitalist? Well, because sometimes art reflects

01:22:18.000 --> 01:22:21.760
life. Sometimes it does. And why does he have

01:22:21.760 --> 01:22:25.399
a daughter who is a sperm whale? Or... Well,

01:22:25.399 --> 01:22:27.819
sometimes because art reflects life. Sometimes

01:22:27.819 --> 01:22:30.779
art reflects life. And perhaps she really isn't

01:22:30.779 --> 01:22:33.340
his daughter. Maybe it's a sugar daddy situation.

01:22:33.380 --> 01:22:36.680
I have often said that. Yeah. And the first time

01:22:36.680 --> 01:22:38.779
I saw SpongeBob's parents, I thought they looked

01:22:38.779 --> 01:22:42.329
like cookies. Oh, no doubt. Yes. They look like

01:22:42.329 --> 01:22:44.329
cookies, but no, that's just actually how old

01:22:44.329 --> 01:22:46.729
sponges look. That's true. They look like different

01:22:46.729 --> 01:22:50.350
species. Yeah. Yeah. And if you actually, there's

01:22:50.350 --> 01:22:52.609
a documentary or something with the originator

01:22:52.609 --> 01:22:56.529
of that show. Steven Hillenberg? Yeah. And where

01:22:56.529 --> 01:22:59.850
he actually, like what you see in that show.

01:22:59.850 --> 01:23:01.449
He was a marine biologist, right? Right. Yeah.

01:23:01.590 --> 01:23:03.729
Yeah. And so like a lot of those different characters,

01:23:03.869 --> 01:23:06.989
they actually are a secret. That's cool. Isn't

01:23:06.989 --> 01:23:10.920
that great? I love it. A marine biologist. A

01:23:10.920 --> 01:23:15.399
marine. Oorah. Oorah. That's right, man. That's

01:23:15.399 --> 01:23:18.340
insane. Steven's turning over in his grave. I'm

01:23:18.340 --> 01:23:20.359
sorry. Rest in peace, brother. Yeah, he didn't

01:23:20.359 --> 01:23:23.180
appreciate that. I did, for the record. Oorah.

01:23:24.020 --> 01:23:27.760
The last one here, at stonerstanley420, our buddy.

01:23:28.699 --> 01:23:32.319
Hello, Momo and Alan. That's us, for people that

01:23:32.319 --> 01:23:37.510
don't get the stoner stanley thing yet. Eezer

01:23:37.510 --> 01:23:43.149
to you. Wasn't he the guy from A Christmas Carol?

01:23:43.649 --> 01:23:48.329
I think so. I think he was. Happy Eezer to you.

01:23:48.789 --> 01:23:52.050
Bunny brings the rainbow eggs and jello beans

01:23:52.050 --> 01:23:57.930
because Jeebus is magic. Oh no. I am dead. Poof.

01:23:58.090 --> 01:24:02.750
No, I'm not. Have a ham. Bye. Well, I'm going

01:24:02.750 --> 01:24:06.250
to have a ham for you, buddy. Wow. He must've

01:24:06.250 --> 01:24:10.050
got a strong strain. That's crazy. Yeah. Yeah,

01:24:10.310 --> 01:24:14.710
he's feeling away. Maybe it's the Jell -O beans.

01:24:15.029 --> 01:24:16.529
The Jell -O beans. I want a Jell -O. What's a

01:24:16.529 --> 01:24:18.270
Jell -O bean? I want a Jell -O bean. It's probably

01:24:18.270 --> 01:24:21.899
Spike with some. That's likely. That is, that

01:24:21.899 --> 01:24:24.319
is likely. Oh bless you Stan. Bunny brings the

01:24:24.319 --> 01:24:27.119
rainbow eggs and jello beans because cheap is

01:24:27.119 --> 01:24:32.720
his magic. Happeneezer. Happeneezer. I love that.

01:24:33.000 --> 01:24:36.359
Oh no I am dead. Poof. No I'm not. Have a ham.

01:24:36.439 --> 01:24:40.560
Poof have a ham. That's great. I want that to

01:24:40.560 --> 01:24:44.760
be a typical like sayonara instead of like ah

01:24:44.760 --> 01:24:49.279
take it easy. Yeah. Have a ham. Have a ham. If

01:24:49.279 --> 01:24:51.199
I start cracking that out at work, they will

01:24:51.199 --> 01:24:55.060
drug test me. I think so. I think so. All right,

01:24:55.539 --> 01:24:58.520
supervisor. Have a ham. And you find beautiful

01:24:58.520 --> 01:25:01.600
folks can decide on this. I've been thinking

01:25:01.600 --> 01:25:06.720
about like a store for the Mark Mo show and featuring

01:25:06.720 --> 01:25:09.840
maybe like, you know, number one, our logo, because

01:25:09.840 --> 01:25:12.060
I think it's kind of cool. But in addition to

01:25:12.060 --> 01:25:15.550
that, like. Kind of like, maybe just other shirts

01:25:15.550 --> 01:25:18.369
that are fun. Maybe some of Stoner's quotes.

01:25:18.529 --> 01:25:20.470
Like Stoner Stanley's quotes with some of our

01:25:20.470 --> 01:25:26.210
funny shit. Bruce Bixby. Have a ham. Have a ham.

01:25:26.829 --> 01:25:30.130
There's so many. I rate this frozen meal a 6

01:25:30.130 --> 01:25:35.449
-7. 6 -7. So yeah, so let us know what you think

01:25:35.449 --> 01:25:38.869
if you would wear a hoodie that says The Mark

01:25:38.869 --> 01:25:41.289
Mo Show or a t -shirt. And you have children

01:25:41.289 --> 01:25:44.590
and I have siblings who have made shirts before.

01:25:44.710 --> 01:25:47.289
That's true, yeah. So this is an idea. I think

01:25:47.289 --> 01:25:50.270
it's an idea whose time has come. Yes. Alright,

01:25:50.329 --> 01:25:52.409
what do you got for your DMs? I got a DM here

01:25:52.409 --> 01:25:56.369
from Chad Chattington. If you were bound to only

01:25:56.369 --> 01:26:00.069
travel between five US states for the rest of

01:26:00.069 --> 01:26:04.170
your life... Which five would you pick? Okay

01:26:04.170 --> 01:26:07.630
question. Does he mean any five states or they

01:26:07.630 --> 01:26:09.689
have to be five states all interconnected? I

01:26:09.689 --> 01:26:13.050
believe any five states. Any five states. Okay

01:26:13.050 --> 01:26:15.710
Well, we currently live in one. So does that

01:26:15.710 --> 01:26:18.270
have to be one of the five? I would imagine so.

01:26:18.369 --> 01:26:21.430
Okay. Well, I'm disqualifying Indiana Fuck them.

01:26:21.510 --> 01:26:26.310
No, there's I'm yours truly will be leaving Indiana

01:26:27.610 --> 01:26:31.770
Down the road here. So At some point so I'm good.

01:26:31.770 --> 01:26:34.010
That's why I will leave them off I would have

01:26:34.010 --> 01:26:35.569
to say Illinois because that just happens be

01:26:35.569 --> 01:26:38.850
where Chicago is. Yes, so they're in it for sure

01:26:38.850 --> 01:26:41.789
I would have to say the state of Washington because

01:26:41.789 --> 01:26:45.350
that's where Seattle is true Great. I have to

01:26:45.350 --> 01:26:48.810
say Nevada because that's where Vegas is So as

01:26:48.810 --> 01:26:50.770
you see my favorite cities, that's kind of the

01:26:50.770 --> 01:26:52.729
way this is going leaning. Yeah, it's leaning

01:26:52.729 --> 01:26:57.239
heavy I would say Florida, and I say that begrudgingly

01:26:57.239 --> 01:27:01.619
because I don't very much care for the politics

01:27:01.619 --> 01:27:05.600
of the state or how it's run. Sure. But I do

01:27:05.600 --> 01:27:08.359
love the coasts, and there's a lot of transplants

01:27:08.359 --> 01:27:10.079
down there. There's a lot of good people. Gulf

01:27:10.079 --> 01:27:12.659
Coast is beautiful. Oh, it is. So I would have

01:27:12.659 --> 01:27:15.319
to put that one on there. A lot of nature too.

01:27:15.420 --> 01:27:18.739
The Everglades are so cool. Boy, the fifth one.

01:27:18.840 --> 01:27:24.579
I would say... Ooh, that's a tough one. Yeah,

01:27:24.739 --> 01:27:27.180
that is definitely a tough one because like if

01:27:27.180 --> 01:27:28.760
I don't put Wisconsin That means I can't have

01:27:28.760 --> 01:27:31.939
spotted cow and we love song go devastating It

01:27:31.939 --> 01:27:33.880
is devastating up, but people can bring it to

01:27:33.880 --> 01:27:38.779
me. So this is true. I oh man, I would have to

01:27:38.779 --> 01:27:41.979
say Massachusetts cuz that's where Boston is.

01:27:42.060 --> 01:27:45.039
I like that. So there there we go. There's your

01:27:45.039 --> 01:27:48.560
five. Yeah, how about you? Indiana, Illinois,

01:27:48.560 --> 01:27:54.729
Minnesota Washington. Yeah Those four are because

01:27:54.729 --> 01:27:57.829
friends and family. Yeah, I have to I got to

01:27:57.829 --> 01:28:01.010
put those four on there and also Seattle and

01:28:01.010 --> 01:28:05.090
Chicago are brilliant. So yeah, Indiana, Illinois

01:28:05.090 --> 01:28:11.350
Minnesota Washington I Think my fifth state.

01:28:11.350 --> 01:28:13.949
I think I'm gonna go with California because

01:28:13.949 --> 01:28:16.729
I haven't been I would love to experience LA

01:28:16.729 --> 01:28:19.989
I love the quantity of just national parks and

01:28:19.989 --> 01:28:23.720
cool nature that is out there So yeah, California's

01:28:23.720 --> 01:28:25.800
gonna be my five. I love that. Yeah. That's cool.

01:28:26.039 --> 01:28:29.640
I respect that. Next DM I got here is from Moneypants.

01:28:30.439 --> 01:28:35.119
Would you rather get 50 % off any food you buy

01:28:35.119 --> 01:28:41.100
for life or 50 % off any fuel you buy for life?

01:28:42.100 --> 01:28:45.939
Uh, well... I think that fuel one is gonna be

01:28:45.939 --> 01:28:49.060
more the bang for the buck, especially as it

01:28:49.060 --> 01:28:52.180
increases in price because the United States

01:28:52.180 --> 01:28:54.560
is stupid as shit. And you're not only talking

01:28:54.560 --> 01:28:58.859
gasoline slash petrol, you're talking natural

01:28:58.859 --> 01:29:01.760
gas. Sure, yeah. You're talking, I mean, electricity

01:29:01.760 --> 01:29:04.180
is a fuel. It's a fuel. So if I could get 50

01:29:04.180 --> 01:29:06.960
% off a solar panel, that's kind of baller. That's

01:29:06.960 --> 01:29:09.760
baller. You know, and you go to the gas tank,

01:29:10.220 --> 01:29:12.579
20 bucks doesn't even give you half full. Not

01:29:12.579 --> 01:29:15.140
even close. You know, but now you make it 10.

01:29:15.819 --> 01:29:18.380
Especially if you drive a lot, that one's worth

01:29:18.380 --> 01:29:23.079
it. Granted, food is also becoming expensive.

01:29:23.079 --> 01:29:26.060
It is, yeah. Hey, what a fucked up country we

01:29:26.060 --> 01:29:27.779
live in. Right, so if you're sitting there and

01:29:27.779 --> 01:29:30.739
you're looking at a steak and it's 25 bones,

01:29:31.199 --> 01:29:34.159
and now it's 13? Yeah, it's not bad for a steak.

01:29:34.399 --> 01:29:37.119
Not bad for a steak. I think I'm lean in fuel

01:29:37.119 --> 01:29:40.000
though. Gotta lean in fuel. Especially with all

01:29:40.000 --> 01:29:43.439
the... dogshit monopolies we have for utility

01:29:43.439 --> 01:29:46.380
companies in this country. I gotta go fuel on

01:29:46.380 --> 01:29:50.039
this one. I think I shop at Aldi. I know I've

01:29:50.039 --> 01:29:52.659
mentioned that a million times, but I love Aldi

01:29:52.659 --> 01:29:55.720
and I mean, you want to talk about generic brand,

01:29:55.939 --> 01:29:59.659
store brand, whatever else. It's the same shit,

01:29:59.960 --> 01:30:02.739
but a better price. Right. Now I can't really

01:30:02.739 --> 01:30:06.920
speak on great value because I always found Walmart's

01:30:06.920 --> 01:30:09.119
brands to be pretty dog shit. Yeah, largely.

01:30:09.420 --> 01:30:12.939
Aldi just does it good. So food prices have never

01:30:12.939 --> 01:30:15.239
been a huge issue for me. But yeah, I'll take

01:30:15.239 --> 01:30:19.180
fuel. Yeah, I would too. Yeah. The final DM I

01:30:19.180 --> 01:30:23.079
received, Gumbo Steve. Gumbo Steve. Check that

01:30:23.079 --> 01:30:26.899
in. From forever ago. What is a fairly useless

01:30:26.899 --> 01:30:33.859
skill that you have? Oh. A fairly useless skill.

01:30:34.159 --> 01:30:39.029
That's... Well, you know, I'm going to say, because

01:30:39.029 --> 01:30:42.949
I used to do this as a profession, I would say

01:30:42.949 --> 01:30:46.949
fairly useless skill that I currently possess

01:30:46.949 --> 01:30:57.050
would be probably rebuilding computer boxes because

01:30:57.050 --> 01:31:03.939
I did some IT. OK. And I think And granted, not

01:31:03.939 --> 01:31:08.859
long ago, we upgraded Aiden's computer and we

01:31:08.859 --> 01:31:10.920
had to put chipsets in there and processors and

01:31:10.920 --> 01:31:12.960
all that. And I had that ability to know how

01:31:12.960 --> 01:31:17.140
to do that. Yes. I bought it pre -built and I

01:31:17.140 --> 01:31:19.859
think after four years, everything needed upgrading.

01:31:20.359 --> 01:31:26.579
CPU, GPU, PSU. What else we do? RAM. Yeah. I

01:31:26.579 --> 01:31:30.829
got SSD. Yeah. Yeah. So we upgraded all of that.

01:31:31.029 --> 01:31:33.130
And so I possess that skill to be able to do

01:31:33.130 --> 01:31:35.409
that. But the reason I bring that up is because

01:31:35.409 --> 01:31:41.170
that was the only time I've done that since 2012,

01:31:42.149 --> 01:31:46.329
2011. So I guess that could potentially qualify

01:31:46.329 --> 01:31:48.770
as a skill. The old skill come through, though.

01:31:48.930 --> 01:31:52.270
But it did. It did come through. I have this

01:31:52.270 --> 01:31:55.989
very useless skill of, I'll be specific here,

01:31:56.369 --> 01:32:01.140
music editing. Yeah. Because I find my music

01:32:01.140 --> 01:32:04.000
production skills and my audio editing skills

01:32:04.000 --> 01:32:07.800
to be useful. Yeah. But music editing I find

01:32:07.800 --> 01:32:11.600
to be a useless kind of skill because you can't

01:32:11.600 --> 01:32:13.899
upload things like that on YouTube or anything

01:32:13.899 --> 01:32:16.300
due to copyright claims or strikes or anything.

01:32:16.979 --> 01:32:20.619
But a couple years ago, my girlfriend had this

01:32:20.619 --> 01:32:23.819
idea. What if that Christmas song that's like,

01:32:24.060 --> 01:32:26.859
all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth.

01:32:27.239 --> 01:32:29.619
Right. And she's got this obsession, a little

01:32:29.619 --> 01:32:32.159
background, she's got this obsession with like

01:32:32.159 --> 01:32:35.300
teeth and the macabre and skeletons, things like

01:32:35.300 --> 01:32:39.439
that. Her previous phone case, she'd put like

01:32:39.439 --> 01:32:41.380
glued acrylic teeth all over it and made it look

01:32:41.380 --> 01:32:44.439
funky and cool. And she was like, wouldn't it

01:32:44.439 --> 01:32:47.020
be funny if that song went like, all I want for

01:32:47.020 --> 01:32:52.380
Christmas is teeth. Oh no. And I made it a reality.

01:32:53.119 --> 01:32:57.140
I edited the song. So it said, all I want for

01:32:57.140 --> 01:33:01.000
Christmas is teeth. And it sounded the same the

01:33:01.000 --> 01:33:02.739
rest of the way through, except for the chorus.

01:33:03.039 --> 01:33:05.460
And I'm like, there's nothing I can do with this.

01:33:05.640 --> 01:33:10.100
I just made this for us. So that is your skill.

01:33:10.500 --> 01:33:15.359
Yeah. That and then my momentary abilities of

01:33:15.359 --> 01:33:19.520
finesse, physical finesse. Because sometimes

01:33:19.520 --> 01:33:22.960
I just do things and it's elegant and precise.

01:33:23.600 --> 01:33:25.819
And I'm like, whoa. That's awesome. I didn't

01:33:25.819 --> 01:33:28.520
know he had that skill. Yeah. And then like I

01:33:28.520 --> 01:33:31.479
take two steps and I stub my toe. So it's like

01:33:31.479 --> 01:33:33.819
just momentary moments of finesse where I'm like,

01:33:34.020 --> 01:33:36.979
oh dude, I got this life thing down. Oh yeah.

01:33:37.140 --> 01:33:39.340
And then life is like tap, tap on the shoulder.

01:33:39.560 --> 01:33:43.300
Hey buddy, no you don't. No you don't. So I think

01:33:43.300 --> 01:33:45.380
that'd be my answer. That's good. That's good.

01:33:45.399 --> 01:33:48.869
I dig it. Is that the end? That is the end. The

01:33:48.869 --> 01:33:51.689
end. That is the end of Carpe Diem. If you have

01:33:51.689 --> 01:33:54.310
DMs, thoughts, questions, whatever, send them

01:33:54.310 --> 01:33:57.130
to us every week. We will read them on this very

01:33:57.130 --> 01:34:00.109
podcast. What podcast? The Mark Mo Show. I'm

01:34:00.109 --> 01:34:03.149
Mark. That's Aidan. Hi. Hola. We're now on to

01:34:03.149 --> 01:34:05.710
the other foods. That's where Aidan finds all

01:34:05.710 --> 01:34:08.890
of these incredibly weird, strange, bizarre,

01:34:09.109 --> 01:34:12.430
terrible foods from all over the globe. It's

01:34:12.430 --> 01:34:15.090
got a little globe. He looks at it. That's really

01:34:15.090 --> 01:34:17.270
all he does. Almost every hour of the day. Almost

01:34:17.270 --> 01:34:19.310
every hour. Boy, wouldn't you? Yeah, I would.

01:34:19.310 --> 01:34:22.329
It's pretty cool. Mm -hmm, indeed. Anyway, back

01:34:22.329 --> 01:34:24.270
to the other foods. Aidan finds weird ones and

01:34:24.270 --> 01:34:26.210
he talks about them on this particular segment.

01:34:26.630 --> 01:34:29.350
Got a weird food for us? I do. I in fact have

01:34:29.350 --> 01:34:33.149
a twofer. Oh, a twofer? I got a twofer. All right.

01:34:33.149 --> 01:34:36.210
I went to Serbia. Oh, congratulations. God bless

01:34:36.210 --> 01:34:40.010
Serbia. But I found two of their lowest rated

01:34:40.010 --> 01:34:46.460
foods ever. Oh. Out of Serbia, this is called

01:34:46.460 --> 01:34:53.199
Kravavice. Uh -huh. Spelled K -R -V -A -V -I

01:34:53.199 --> 01:34:57.819
-C -E. I'm hoping. Sure. Did I pronounce that

01:34:57.819 --> 01:35:01.659
right? Kravavice. Sure. They're blood sausages.

01:35:02.380 --> 01:35:05.060
Produced mostly throughout continental Croatia.

01:35:05.359 --> 01:35:09.159
Of course, Serbia being a part of that. They're

01:35:09.159 --> 01:35:15.180
made by cooking pork blood skin. and awful, meaning

01:35:15.180 --> 01:35:21.100
organs, with rice and buckwheat. Sometimes barley

01:35:21.100 --> 01:35:24.619
and corn flour, if you're feeling crazy. There

01:35:24.619 --> 01:35:28.239
are numerous varieties of this. Each cook has

01:35:28.239 --> 01:35:31.100
their own recipe, as they're called. They're

01:35:31.100 --> 01:35:33.800
often consumed during the winter, accompanied

01:35:33.800 --> 01:35:38.159
by sauerkraut. Now, that just sounds nasty. I

01:35:38.159 --> 01:35:40.260
don't know, like, I understand people want to

01:35:40.260 --> 01:35:43.399
get their iron intake, you know. You can do that

01:35:43.399 --> 01:35:47.880
without having to eat blood and organs. The second

01:35:47.880 --> 01:35:52.359
one I found, from Serbia, also a pork dish. This

01:35:52.359 --> 01:36:02.420
is called pitie. Okay. P -I -H -T -I -J -E. Pitie.

01:36:02.840 --> 01:36:07.260
Oh, okay. That's... I would not know how to say

01:36:07.260 --> 01:36:09.199
that. Okay, that's interesting. Like, I don't

01:36:09.199 --> 01:36:11.439
know if the J is pronounced like a Y or if it's

01:36:11.439 --> 01:36:16.899
pronounced like an H. Over there. It is a Serbian

01:36:16.899 --> 01:36:19.800
dish made from the cheaper parts of pork such

01:36:19.800 --> 01:36:24.579
as the head, shank, or hawk. The meat is often

01:36:24.579 --> 01:36:26.659
cooked together with pepper, onion, carrots,

01:36:26.779 --> 01:36:29.220
and bay leaves until it becomes so tender it

01:36:29.220 --> 01:36:32.431
falls off the bone. Can you imagine eating...

01:36:32.430 --> 01:36:35.630
head meat as it's falling off the skull in a

01:36:35.630 --> 01:36:40.010
tender fashion. No. Yummy, yummy. Together with

01:36:40.010 --> 01:36:42.710
the stock, the meat is placed into bowls, left

01:36:42.710 --> 01:36:46.029
out on the counter to cool, and the dish is only

01:36:46.029 --> 01:36:52.470
ready when it's fully congealed. Ugh. It is served

01:36:52.470 --> 01:36:58.409
sliced cold as an appetizer. Nope. I'm showing

01:36:58.409 --> 01:37:01.869
a picture of it. To mark that's that's uh, that's

01:37:01.869 --> 01:37:03.970
disgusting. Yeah, it's like the jello of the

01:37:03.970 --> 01:37:06.729
meat world Yeah, that looks like if you bought

01:37:06.729 --> 01:37:09.890
fudge and left it out for eight years Maybe even

01:37:09.890 --> 01:37:11.970
longer. Maybe even longer. Maybe like a decade.

01:37:12.170 --> 01:37:15.170
I Unfortunately, we can't do we can't do visual

01:37:15.170 --> 01:37:18.489
gags here on an auditory podcast, but if you

01:37:18.489 --> 01:37:24.800
look pi h t i j e Yeah an image of it Yeah, it's

01:37:24.800 --> 01:37:27.479
gross. That's disgusting. That's gross. So that's

01:37:27.479 --> 01:37:31.020
two Serbian pork dishes for you that you can

01:37:31.020 --> 01:37:34.140
never get out of your brain now. No, that's really...

01:37:34.189 --> 01:37:36.329
Oh, God, that looked disgusting. You're welcome.

01:37:36.869 --> 01:37:41.729
Thank you for that other food presentation. We're

01:37:41.729 --> 01:37:44.130
going to finish this up with the Frozen Guy review.

01:37:44.529 --> 01:37:48.989
Lean cuisine ravioli. Oh, I'm eating over here.

01:37:49.170 --> 01:37:51.050
Yeah, I'm eating over here. Definitely better

01:37:51.050 --> 01:37:56.630
than creviche and pete. However you pronounce

01:37:56.630 --> 01:37:59.369
it. It's like how often is the H before the T?

01:37:59.829 --> 01:38:07.159
Not often. Pete. Patej. Patej. Potatoes. Potato.

01:38:08.000 --> 01:38:09.460
Now that's foreshadowing. That's foreshadowing.

01:38:09.840 --> 01:38:14.279
So lean cuisine ravioli. Good. The raviolis are

01:38:14.279 --> 01:38:18.220
good. Sauce kind of mid. Quantity. Could have

01:38:18.220 --> 01:38:20.380
used one or two more raviolis in there. Was still

01:38:20.380 --> 01:38:22.920
a bit hungry later on. Was it like a runny kind

01:38:22.920 --> 01:38:25.510
of sauce? Little bit. Little runny. Little bit

01:38:25.510 --> 01:38:28.649
runnier than I typically like. But flavorful.

01:38:28.689 --> 01:38:30.850
Flavorful is good. Flavorful, just a little runny.

01:38:31.390 --> 01:38:33.390
And like I said, you probably could have used

01:38:33.390 --> 01:38:35.250
a couple more ravioli in there. Too few in there.

01:38:35.449 --> 01:38:39.010
Yep, I think so. Overall, pretty good. 7 .9 for

01:38:39.010 --> 01:38:41.310
the Lean Cuisine ravioli. That's not bad for

01:38:41.310 --> 01:38:45.189
a big brand. Lean Cuisine is pretty well -known.

01:38:45.229 --> 01:38:48.149
Yeah, and I think that was $3 .29. That's not

01:38:48.149 --> 01:38:49.850
bad. Which isn't bad. That's not too bad. Even

01:38:49.850 --> 01:38:51.109
if you have to get two of them, you're still

01:38:51.109 --> 01:38:53.390
under seven bucks for a meal. Right. So that

01:38:53.390 --> 01:38:57.470
isn't bad at all. So just maybe tighten up that

01:38:57.470 --> 01:38:59.750
sauce a little bit, be into the eights for sure.

01:39:00.510 --> 01:39:03.189
Was it just like a marinara? Yeah, just kind

01:39:03.189 --> 01:39:06.619
of runny. Marinara. They just didn't treat the

01:39:06.619 --> 01:39:09.180
they didn't treat the tomato with respect. They

01:39:09.180 --> 01:39:11.460
did not. Yeah, they did not at all devastating

01:39:11.460 --> 01:39:16.159
indeed Yeah, so we're going to take a break indubitably

01:39:16.159 --> 01:39:20.100
eat a crumpet Or have some tea a spot of tea

01:39:20.100 --> 01:39:30.250
or spotted dick All right, we are back here on

01:39:30.250 --> 01:39:32.750
the Mark Mo Show. I'm Mark Maloney. This is Abe

01:39:32.750 --> 01:39:35.170
Maloney, and we are on to our feature segment.

01:39:36.090 --> 01:39:38.729
You just made the list, and we did. We made a

01:39:38.729 --> 01:39:41.670
list. 10 through 2 with our big number one reveal.

01:39:41.869 --> 01:39:44.710
Only rule? No rules, baby. That's how we work.

01:39:45.390 --> 01:39:48.689
Good. Yeah, I know, right? Today's top 10 potato

01:39:48.689 --> 01:39:51.510
dishes. Dishes or things made with potatoes that

01:39:51.510 --> 01:39:54.359
we all love. Well, I love. Maybe you love them.

01:39:54.680 --> 01:39:56.720
You should love them. Potatoes are amazing. Potatoes

01:39:56.720 --> 01:40:00.600
love you back. They do in many ways. Aidan, want

01:40:00.600 --> 01:40:02.479
to start us out? I'll start my 10 through 2,

01:40:02.680 --> 01:40:05.439
saving my big number one reveal for later. Number

01:40:05.439 --> 01:40:08.640
10, loaded baked potato. Oh, that's a good one.

01:40:08.880 --> 01:40:12.000
A simple dish, but the sour cream, the cheese,

01:40:12.159 --> 01:40:16.819
the bacon, the butter. Yeah. It's classic. It

01:40:16.819 --> 01:40:19.000
is classic. And a baked potato is very easy to

01:40:19.000 --> 01:40:22.520
make. You can put beans in there. You can't.

01:40:22.520 --> 01:40:25.000
Why not? Why wouldn't you? Beans, beans, magical

01:40:25.000 --> 01:40:31.140
fruit. Number nine, loaded hash browns. Oh, especially,

01:40:31.659 --> 01:40:34.020
oh God, whose loaded hash browns are amazing.

01:40:34.920 --> 01:40:38.560
Waffle House. Oh yeah. Yeah. Little bacon, little

01:40:38.560 --> 01:40:40.680
cheese. Love it. Get in there. Get real. Yeah,

01:40:40.680 --> 01:40:44.460
buddy. Number eight, garlic mashed. Like, get

01:40:44.460 --> 01:40:49.159
real. Get real. That's tasty. Number seven, latkes.

01:40:49.819 --> 01:40:52.840
Oh, God. Bless it. Oh, no, did someone forget

01:40:52.840 --> 01:40:56.220
lot keys? I did do it, but I haven't gone yet.

01:40:56.399 --> 01:40:58.880
So this is true I fix it in post. We will fix

01:40:58.880 --> 01:41:01.779
it in post. Yeah. Um, it's like the hash brown

01:41:01.779 --> 01:41:05.779
leveled up Yeah, you know fried mashed potatoes.

01:41:06.000 --> 01:41:09.899
Yeah in a way. Yeah potato pancakes. Yep They're

01:41:09.899 --> 01:41:12.579
amazing. Some people eat them with applesauce.

01:41:12.579 --> 01:41:15.880
That's not me sour cream sour cream Yeah, so

01:41:15.880 --> 01:41:19.439
good number six creamy potato soup Because that

01:41:19.439 --> 01:41:22.979
can also that's good. Yeah that can also have

01:41:22.979 --> 01:41:26.779
cheese and bacon in there it can Number five

01:41:26.779 --> 01:41:29.520
chili cheese fries. It is a simple pleasure,

01:41:29.520 --> 01:41:33.119
and it's a good one number four Al Groton like

01:41:33.119 --> 01:41:36.840
the thinly sliced with the cheese on it. Oh my

01:41:36.840 --> 01:41:40.199
god That's where it's at number three, and this

01:41:40.199 --> 01:41:44.659
is one. I just found out over the last year existed

01:41:44.659 --> 01:41:50.220
baria nacho fries Okay, so like the the Mexican

01:41:50.220 --> 01:41:55.239
burrito. Yep Type beef piled with queso on top

01:41:55.239 --> 01:41:59.920
of a bed of fries Okay, unbelievable. Oh, you're

01:41:59.920 --> 01:42:03.380
talking like this shit's crazy. I I'm hungry

01:42:03.380 --> 01:42:11.100
right now Oh God, they're so good number two

01:42:11.100 --> 01:42:17.270
the simple humble breakfast skillet. Yeah It's

01:42:17.270 --> 01:42:20.890
so good. You can do it on a bit of hash browns.

01:42:20.930 --> 01:42:23.470
I like to do it just on like skillet potatoes.

01:42:23.630 --> 01:42:26.869
Like skillet potatoes, eggs, bacon, sausage,

01:42:27.189 --> 01:42:31.810
cheese, chives piled into a nice cast iron skillet

01:42:31.810 --> 01:42:34.789
that you just eat it out of. I love that. Yeah.

01:42:34.989 --> 01:42:37.689
So good. That's my number two. I'll save my number

01:42:37.689 --> 01:42:41.990
one. Okay. I have an honorable mention. It's

01:42:41.990 --> 01:42:46.090
Locky's. Whoa. How about that? Convenient. Number

01:42:46.090 --> 01:42:49.350
10, diced potatoes or home fries. They'd be called

01:42:49.350 --> 01:42:51.630
either one. Home fries are great. Those are yummy.

01:42:52.449 --> 01:42:55.710
Number nine, gnocchi. So it is technically a

01:42:55.710 --> 01:42:57.390
pasta dish, but it is made with potatoes. This

01:42:57.390 --> 01:42:59.670
is true. So gnocchi does definitely qualify.

01:42:59.670 --> 01:43:01.909
It's very tasty. This is good. I like gnocchi.

01:43:02.270 --> 01:43:05.319
Yeah. Number eight, baked potato. Yeah, there

01:43:05.319 --> 01:43:08.060
you go. You can do so many styles with the baked

01:43:08.060 --> 01:43:10.579
potato. You can. That's what I love most about

01:43:10.579 --> 01:43:13.239
it, I think. My favorite, probably just like

01:43:13.239 --> 01:43:15.579
a little bit of butter and some sour cream and

01:43:15.579 --> 01:43:19.399
bacon bits. Yes, there you go. Tasty. I would

01:43:19.399 --> 01:43:24.140
say number seven, corned beef hash. Oh god, that's

01:43:24.140 --> 01:43:26.340
a good call. Corned beef hash is really, really

01:43:26.340 --> 01:43:30.439
good. Number six, potato salad. I love potato

01:43:30.439 --> 01:43:33.300
salad. I do too. And I didn't when I was younger,

01:43:33.420 --> 01:43:35.819
and then I had like a really good potato salad.

01:43:36.380 --> 01:43:38.220
I think Swanson's on the Southwest side. And

01:43:38.220 --> 01:43:40.460
I was like, oh my God, what have I been missing?

01:43:40.960 --> 01:43:43.220
Right. Yeah. They were one I omitted from my

01:43:43.220 --> 01:43:46.300
list, not because I dislike it, but because just

01:43:46.300 --> 01:43:48.880
the top 10 was too good. Right, exactly. But

01:43:48.880 --> 01:43:52.430
I do love potato salad. Number five, hash browns.

01:43:52.550 --> 01:43:54.829
And so that can qualify for the loaded. Sure.

01:43:55.010 --> 01:43:57.090
From Waffle House too. Those are just so freaking

01:43:57.090 --> 01:43:59.430
good. Although if you don't cook them right,

01:43:59.489 --> 01:44:01.270
I'm not a huge fan, because if you don't cook

01:44:01.270 --> 01:44:03.510
them right and there's kind of like a mound,

01:44:03.710 --> 01:44:05.210
sometimes the potatoes in the middle of that

01:44:05.210 --> 01:44:08.609
mound, they're still kind of semi -raw. Sure.

01:44:08.609 --> 01:44:10.510
And then they're crispy on the other side. So

01:44:10.510 --> 01:44:12.029
you got to cook them right. Yeah, yeah. This

01:44:12.029 --> 01:44:13.630
is true. But once cooked right, they're great.

01:44:14.069 --> 01:44:17.600
Number four, potato chips. There you go. There

01:44:17.600 --> 01:44:20.520
you go. It's right up your alley. I love potato

01:44:20.520 --> 01:44:23.840
chips. If I'm not hungry hungry, instead of a

01:44:23.840 --> 01:44:25.659
meal, I'll just grab some chips. Something to

01:44:25.659 --> 01:44:28.619
drink and I'm good. Later in life, I've come

01:44:28.619 --> 01:44:31.380
upon tortilla chips more than potato chips. Yeah.

01:44:31.630 --> 01:44:34.729
Which, I mean, it's all subjective, but I do

01:44:34.729 --> 01:44:37.590
understand the chip obsession. I do. I love it.

01:44:37.909 --> 01:44:42.210
Number three, french fries. I love fries. Mickey

01:44:42.210 --> 01:44:45.350
D's fries are still goaded. Yeah. And, you know,

01:44:45.470 --> 01:44:47.189
there's a lot of other fries out there that are

01:44:47.189 --> 01:44:48.909
great. I used to be the fry guy, do the fry review.

01:44:49.250 --> 01:44:50.729
Yeah, this is true. Of course, fries are gonna

01:44:50.729 --> 01:44:52.449
be on there. Number two... There's so much you

01:44:52.449 --> 01:44:55.390
can do with fries, because multiple dishes on

01:44:55.390 --> 01:44:59.550
my list were fry adjacent. You had fries as the

01:44:59.550 --> 01:45:02.880
base. Yep. Oh yeah. The base vehicle to get more

01:45:02.880 --> 01:45:06.079
food into your mouth. Absolutely. And number

01:45:06.079 --> 01:45:09.939
two, poutine, which is French fries covered in

01:45:09.939 --> 01:45:14.680
gravy and cheese. Oh, God bless. God bless Canada.

01:45:15.060 --> 01:45:17.500
Amazing. They have health care too. They do.

01:45:17.619 --> 01:45:19.880
It's amazing. Crazy. Must be nice. It is nice.

01:45:20.280 --> 01:45:23.359
My number one here. Yeah. Couldn't tell you.

01:45:24.579 --> 01:45:27.000
My number one is your number two. I went poutine

01:45:27.000 --> 01:45:29.939
number one. Love it. It's just like, and you

01:45:29.939 --> 01:45:32.640
can do like there's Americanized versions and

01:45:32.640 --> 01:45:34.659
like, oh, well, you just put shredded cheese

01:45:34.659 --> 01:45:37.140
on blah, blah, blah. No, gamer, gamer, hear me

01:45:37.140 --> 01:45:40.060
out. It's better with the curds. You can dress

01:45:40.060 --> 01:45:42.439
it with shredded cheese if you want to fill gaps.

01:45:42.579 --> 01:45:44.500
Oh, for sure. But you got to do the curds and

01:45:44.500 --> 01:45:46.359
they do have flavored cheese curds, which you

01:45:46.359 --> 01:45:48.399
can do if you feel a little spicy someday. Oh,

01:45:48.399 --> 01:45:52.619
yeah. but just the gravy and the potato and it's

01:45:52.619 --> 01:45:55.180
just like a nutritionalist would look at it and

01:45:55.180 --> 01:45:58.180
be like what are we doing here boys yeah but

01:45:58.180 --> 01:46:00.079
then your taste buds are like oh i know what

01:46:00.079 --> 01:46:03.279
we're doing here boys oh for sure oh yeah poutine

01:46:03.279 --> 01:46:07.060
is that guy pal poutine is for sure and that's

01:46:07.060 --> 01:46:09.659
that's why it's my number one my number one mashed

01:46:09.659 --> 01:46:13.310
potatoes I think they're just amazing. I can

01:46:13.310 --> 01:46:17.270
eat like a pan of mashed potatoes. Oh yeah, full

01:46:17.270 --> 01:46:19.689
pot. I can just eat them without question. Full

01:46:19.689 --> 01:46:23.869
send. I love that you can take the mashed potatoes

01:46:23.869 --> 01:46:26.130
on your plate and whatever meat you have, you

01:46:26.130 --> 01:46:29.310
can take that meat, a little gravy, scoop it

01:46:29.310 --> 01:46:32.100
like just all in one shot. Yeah. uh you think

01:46:32.100 --> 01:46:34.479
of like the kfc bowls that's like a mashed potato

01:46:34.479 --> 01:46:37.720
base get real uh you have like shepherd's pie

01:46:37.720 --> 01:46:40.699
or cottage pie yeah that's like a base mashed

01:46:40.699 --> 01:46:44.479
potato so i just i love the flexibility the versatility

01:46:44.479 --> 01:46:47.880
is amazing yeah and they're just so good uh even

01:46:47.880 --> 01:46:52.010
even mashed potatoes that aren't like Made that

01:46:52.010 --> 01:46:55.409
well you do like a dirty mash. You can little

01:46:55.409 --> 01:46:57.550
potato skins in there. That's flavor man Oh,

01:46:57.550 --> 01:47:00.449
it is. Yeah, you can you can definitely do that

01:47:00.449 --> 01:47:03.470
You can you can add so much to it vegetables.

01:47:03.470 --> 01:47:07.590
You can add Ground beef all of it. Yes, so it's

01:47:07.590 --> 01:47:10.569
pretty great. So we have learned that fries and

01:47:10.569 --> 01:47:15.550
mashed are the two best bases Yes, maybe of all

01:47:15.550 --> 01:47:18.010
time you could argue tortilla. Yeah, which I

01:47:18.010 --> 01:47:21.699
give you. Yeah But maybe tortilla, mashed potatoes,

01:47:21.939 --> 01:47:25.319
and french fries are the best vehicles for food

01:47:25.319 --> 01:47:28.979
to enter a human body. Agreed. 100%. No doubt.

01:47:29.460 --> 01:47:32.060
All right. We've got two segments left. We are

01:47:32.060 --> 01:47:35.039
on to our beer review. The official beer review.

01:47:35.520 --> 01:47:37.859
The official beer review. And we have, from Half

01:47:37.859 --> 01:47:42.760
Acre, Summer Beer Reef Knot. Reef Knot. Which

01:47:42.760 --> 01:47:45.279
we'll be sampling for you. Knot as in tie a knot.

01:47:45.539 --> 01:47:51.109
K -N -O -T. Knot. Silent K. We'll be, oh yeah.

01:47:52.010 --> 01:47:54.329
Oh yeah. That's where it's at. Beautiful. A cilantro.

01:47:54.529 --> 01:47:57.210
Cilantro to you. We will be sampling this 4 .5

01:47:57.210 --> 01:48:01.229
% ABV. Of course Half Acre is a regional brewery

01:48:01.229 --> 01:48:04.659
out of Chicago, Illinois. Yep. Um, as they claim,

01:48:05.239 --> 01:48:08.119
throwing a bullseye at an easy sunshine lager

01:48:08.119 --> 01:48:11.000
designed to drop anchor on that forever summer,

01:48:11.260 --> 01:48:14.260
feeling knotted up inside you. The floral lemon

01:48:14.260 --> 01:48:17.100
and hay aromas paired with earthy spice from

01:48:17.100 --> 01:48:19.979
noble hops are well balanced by lightly toasted

01:48:19.979 --> 01:48:23.000
honey malt. Flawlessly clear gold under a white

01:48:23.000 --> 01:48:26.539
foam cap, this squeaky clean cracker crisp lager.

01:48:26.859 --> 01:48:30.649
Cracker crisp? The fuck? Anyway, coasts on -

01:48:30.649 --> 01:48:33.430
I'm a cracker and I'm not that crisp, to be fair.

01:48:33.510 --> 01:48:35.010
A little doughy, actually. Our comedy is kinda

01:48:35.010 --> 01:48:38.149
crisp. Hey, hey, hey -o. Minimal Bitterness,

01:48:38.250 --> 01:48:41.750
a moderate 4 .5 % ABV is how they claim it will

01:48:41.750 --> 01:48:44.210
rank it on a scale from 0 to 5 on untapped the

01:48:44.210 --> 01:48:46.050
free app on your phone that we're not sponsored

01:48:46.050 --> 01:48:48.289
by, but it would be cool if we were. Indeed.

01:48:48.930 --> 01:48:51.989
This lager, a sluncher to you. Sluncher, here

01:48:51.989 --> 01:48:58.689
we go. Ooh, okay. That's tasty. Okay. That's,

01:48:58.689 --> 01:49:01.289
uh, that's really good. Ooh, what is that roasty

01:49:01.289 --> 01:49:03.750
note at the end? I caught that. I caught that.

01:49:03.750 --> 01:49:05.489
That's pretty good. That tastes like, do you

01:49:05.489 --> 01:49:07.430
know what that tastes like? Tastes like crisped

01:49:07.430 --> 01:49:11.090
rice. Maybe. Do you, do you get that? Like rice?

01:49:11.090 --> 01:49:13.489
I can see that. Rice, crispy cereal. Yeah. Just

01:49:13.489 --> 01:49:15.649
like creeping in. In a can. Like, hola. I know,

01:49:15.649 --> 01:49:18.689
right? I like it very much. Out here, it starts

01:49:18.689 --> 01:49:22.130
off so clean. And then just like that roasty

01:49:22.130 --> 01:49:24.989
rice creeps in and is like, hello, I'm also here.

01:49:25.409 --> 01:49:29.119
Mm -hmm. That's good. Loggers are not my go -to

01:49:29.119 --> 01:49:33.500
style of beer. But that's why we try everything.

01:49:33.720 --> 01:49:37.579
We try IPAs, we try stouts and porters and loggers.

01:49:37.640 --> 01:49:40.960
We try everything on the show. But as we're creeping

01:49:40.960 --> 01:49:43.380
into warmer weather, slowly but surely, I figured

01:49:43.380 --> 01:49:46.060
a summertime lager would be a cool thing to do.

01:49:46.340 --> 01:49:49.399
That's good. I like it. Is this right up your

01:49:49.399 --> 01:49:54.340
alley? It is. Very clean. Definitely something

01:49:54.340 --> 01:49:57.100
at the end there. I really like that. Yeah, like

01:49:57.100 --> 01:50:01.000
usually lagers don't have that roasty note. Almost

01:50:01.000 --> 01:50:05.020
malty, but it's not malty. Right. But yeah, roasty

01:50:05.020 --> 01:50:10.020
kind of rice flavor in there that I didn't expect,

01:50:10.039 --> 01:50:14.939
but I do welcome. I do too. This is high for

01:50:14.939 --> 01:50:18.140
me on a scale of lagers. Yeah. Because of course,

01:50:18.340 --> 01:50:20.800
taste is subjective. I'm giving this a three

01:50:20.800 --> 01:50:24.300
out of five. Which which for me is is high for

01:50:24.300 --> 01:50:26.180
a lot of good score for a lager. Yeah. Yeah,

01:50:26.180 --> 01:50:29.220
so three on five I went three and a half. Yeah,

01:50:29.460 --> 01:50:31.159
I went three and a half on that. That's kind

01:50:31.159 --> 01:50:35.680
of a solid score for a lager and I could flavor

01:50:35.680 --> 01:50:37.920
profiles I did light -bodied crisp and clean.

01:50:38.180 --> 01:50:40.560
Yeah, and of course we're drinking it out of

01:50:40.560 --> 01:50:45.079
the can and As we sure know from experience and

01:50:45.079 --> 01:50:49.649
from experts drinking it out of a cup or mug

01:50:49.649 --> 01:50:53.130
does affect the flavor and smell of it. So take

01:50:53.130 --> 01:50:58.449
this as our scientific duty to say how we're

01:50:58.449 --> 01:51:01.930
doing it. I love it. Yes, exactly. A couple badges

01:51:01.930 --> 01:51:04.130
through the untapped app. I have for the can

01:51:04.130 --> 01:51:08.890
level 11. Let's go. And I did, hmm, this is interesting.

01:51:09.510 --> 01:51:12.029
I unlocked a badge called cold one in Antarctica.

01:51:12.250 --> 01:51:15.560
I just got that one too. Antarctica, known for

01:51:15.560 --> 01:51:18.539
its frozen tundra and waddling penguins, might

01:51:18.539 --> 01:51:20.960
not be the first place you think of when grabbing

01:51:20.960 --> 01:51:24.119
a cold one. But on April 1st, anything is possible,

01:51:24.560 --> 01:51:27.140
thanks to chicken on a cold one in early April.

01:51:27.420 --> 01:51:31.199
Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. I love it. Yeah, it's

01:51:31.199 --> 01:51:33.840
good, man. I like it. Well done. God bless the

01:51:33.840 --> 01:51:36.579
penguins. Well, again, God bless penguins. All

01:51:36.579 --> 01:51:37.920
right, we're going to finish up with a world

01:51:37.920 --> 01:51:42.539
of weird news to close out this edition of the

01:51:42.539 --> 01:51:48.079
Mark Mo Show. So let me let me not hesitate.

01:51:48.600 --> 01:51:53.529
This new story is called Creme de la Weird. That's

01:51:53.529 --> 01:51:58.050
not French Not that you know of anyway, you're

01:51:58.050 --> 01:52:03.289
right so professional corn hone player and quadruple

01:52:03.289 --> 01:52:10.020
amputee Dayton James Weber Oh 27 was arrested

01:52:10.020 --> 01:52:13.619
on March 22nd in Charlottesville, Virginia, WBRC

01:52:13.619 --> 01:52:16.880
-TV reported. Earlier that evening, Weber and

01:52:16.880 --> 01:52:19.899
Bradrick Michael Wells, 27, got into an argument

01:52:19.899 --> 01:52:24.260
as Weber drove in La Plata, Maryland. Witnesses

01:52:24.260 --> 01:52:29.199
said Weber allegedly shot and killed Wells, then

01:52:29.199 --> 01:52:31.680
pulled over and asked his backseat passengers

01:52:31.680 --> 01:52:35.520
to pull Wells' body from the car. They refused

01:52:35.520 --> 01:52:38.979
and left the vehicle. then called police. Weber

01:52:38.979 --> 01:52:43.220
drove on with Well's body, which was later found

01:52:43.220 --> 01:52:47.100
in a yard. Yo. When detectives found Weber, he

01:52:47.100 --> 01:52:50.199
was at a Virginia hospital seeking medical care.

01:52:50.779 --> 01:52:53.439
In Maryland, he's expected to be charged with

01:52:53.439 --> 01:52:56.239
first degree murder, second degree murder, and

01:52:56.239 --> 01:53:00.319
more. Holy. Weber plays in the American corn

01:53:00.319 --> 01:53:06.609
hole league. which in 2023 called him a shining

01:53:06.609 --> 01:53:11.430
example of our slogan, anyone can play, anyone

01:53:11.430 --> 01:53:15.470
can win. Holy fuck. Okay. Let me start off by

01:53:15.470 --> 01:53:17.869
saying the first sentence that came out of your

01:53:17.869 --> 01:53:20.090
mouth was one of the craziest things I've heard.

01:53:20.149 --> 01:53:23.029
That's a brand new sentence. It is a brand new

01:53:23.029 --> 01:53:26.329
sentence. In my life. Yeah. Quadruple amputee

01:53:26.329 --> 01:53:30.170
cornhole player. Right. Which by the way, it's

01:53:30.170 --> 01:53:34.840
called bags. Um, that's insane. Man, shot a dude.

01:53:35.460 --> 01:53:37.760
Shot a dude. Shot a dude in his car. Bro, just

01:53:37.760 --> 01:53:41.220
play bags. So he's a quadruple amputee and has

01:53:41.220 --> 01:53:44.899
the skill to excel in bags. And drive. And murder.

01:53:45.199 --> 01:53:48.939
And drive. Wow. Holy shit. Is there anything

01:53:48.939 --> 01:53:50.899
- Is there anything this man can't do? That James

01:53:50.899 --> 01:53:56.000
Weber can't do? I guess stay out of prison. Stay

01:53:56.000 --> 01:53:58.060
out of prison. That'd be a good one. Holy hell.

01:53:58.060 --> 01:54:02.520
Something to shoot for. Come on. You're welcome.

01:54:02.920 --> 01:54:05.479
You're welcome. Oh, man. All right, finish this

01:54:05.479 --> 01:54:08.000
up, man. My new story is something we talked

01:54:08.000 --> 01:54:10.960
about on the Mark Mo radio show years ago. We

01:54:10.960 --> 01:54:13.539
had this segment called The Other Sports. Ooh,

01:54:13.659 --> 01:54:16.939
yes. Just atypical, like ESPN, the Ocho type

01:54:16.939 --> 01:54:20.640
sports, one of which was wife carrying, if you

01:54:20.640 --> 01:54:25.420
recall that. I do. The Associated Press made

01:54:25.420 --> 01:54:30.340
a story on this. Oh no. Finnish pear wins a barrel

01:54:30.340 --> 01:54:34.760
of ale in annual wife carrying contest in England.

01:54:35.819 --> 01:54:38.220
Wow, I love it. So this comes from the London

01:54:38.220 --> 01:54:41.180
AP. To have and to hold took on a new meaning

01:54:41.180 --> 01:54:43.560
for about two dozen couples who put their relationships

01:54:43.560 --> 01:54:46.500
to the test on a grassy hill in southern England.

01:54:47.079 --> 01:54:49.319
Wives and girlfriends clung on for dear life

01:54:49.319 --> 01:54:51.920
as their partners carried them up and down a

01:54:51.920 --> 01:54:56.500
hillside for the UK's wife carrying race, one

01:54:56.500 --> 01:54:59.039
of the country's quirkiest annual sports events.

01:54:59.640 --> 01:55:05.100
On Sunday, Timu Tuvinen and Jata Linonen from

01:55:05.100 --> 01:55:08.020
Finland were crowned the winners at 1 minute

01:55:08.020 --> 01:55:12.979
and 45 seconds. Their prize? A barrel of local

01:55:12.979 --> 01:55:15.960
ale. Which, by the way, a barrel, I believe,

01:55:16.079 --> 01:55:20.340
is over 30 gallons. Yeah, it is. That's a lot

01:55:20.340 --> 01:55:24.079
of ale. That's so cool. The awkward foot race

01:55:24.079 --> 01:55:28.609
in Dorking, Surrey. which is a real place, is

01:55:28.609 --> 01:55:30.989
said to be inspired by a 19th century Finnish

01:55:30.989 --> 01:55:34.670
legend about a gang of pillagers that steals

01:55:34.670 --> 01:55:38.289
women. These days the emphasis is on light -hearted

01:55:38.289 --> 01:55:41.350
fun, silly costumes are encouraged, racers can

01:55:41.350 --> 01:55:44.470
be males or females carrying anyone over the

01:55:44.470 --> 01:55:48.310
age of 18, weighing at least 50 kilo, which is

01:55:48.310 --> 01:55:52.859
about 110 pounds give or take. Sure. Those underweight

01:55:52.859 --> 01:55:56.319
need to wear a backpack filled with flour to

01:55:56.319 --> 01:55:59.460
bring them up to the minimum weight. Oh no. To

01:55:59.460 --> 01:56:03.859
make it all fair, right? Right. Quote the organizers

01:56:03.859 --> 01:56:06.779
say, you do not have to carry your own wife.

01:56:07.020 --> 01:56:11.319
It could be someone else's wife. Oh no way. They

01:56:11.319 --> 01:56:14.619
should ideally weigh less than you do. Couples

01:56:14.619 --> 01:56:17.100
choose their own carrying technique. Most of

01:56:17.100 --> 01:56:20.220
them go with the Quote Estonian hold where the

01:56:20.220 --> 01:56:23.840
wife hangs upside down Facing the carriers ass

01:56:23.840 --> 01:56:26.920
with their legs crossed in front of the carriers

01:56:26.920 --> 01:56:32.840
face. Oh my god, that's crazy Contestants racing

01:56:32.840 --> 01:56:37.899
on these gently sloping hillsides over a course

01:56:37.899 --> 01:56:42.159
380 meters. So you're talking about four football

01:56:42.159 --> 01:56:46.380
fields for all the Americanos out there You're

01:56:46.380 --> 01:56:49.199
talking four football fields in just a minute

01:56:49.199 --> 01:56:52.520
and change for that finished couple that won

01:56:52.520 --> 01:56:57.420
the barrel of ale. God bless wife racing. That's

01:56:57.420 --> 01:57:01.859
great. That's great. See, I think here's the

01:57:01.859 --> 01:57:05.380
thing. All right, so my new roommate, she weighs...

01:57:05.399 --> 01:57:09.119
maybe like 20 pounds. She's a small lass. She's

01:57:09.119 --> 01:57:13.720
very sprite -like. I feel like we could be contenders

01:57:13.720 --> 01:57:15.939
and I'm not wearing a sack of sand or whatever

01:57:15.939 --> 01:57:18.840
the hell they put in there. If she fits within

01:57:18.840 --> 01:57:23.359
50 kilo, you'll be good. Yeah. So I'm going to

01:57:23.359 --> 01:57:26.600
declare this right now. Yes. We are going to

01:57:26.600 --> 01:57:29.439
go to England, and we are going to compete, and

01:57:29.439 --> 01:57:32.000
we are going to win this thing. I swear to God,

01:57:32.140 --> 01:57:34.479
we're going to take this thing, and we're going

01:57:34.479 --> 01:57:37.119
to win. We're going to win the damn thing, and

01:57:37.119 --> 01:57:38.460
we're going to take it. We're going to win that

01:57:38.460 --> 01:57:40.880
ale. We're going to do the whole freaking thing.
