NBA Skills Challenge, Music Deep Dive & The Most Important Artist of the Episode

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Hello, everybody, and welcome to the third episode of the Yapoff podcast. I'm your host, Ted. With me, as always, are John, Joe, and Sam. All right, great. Super happy that my lovely friends ice me out like this. [00:00:18] Speaker B: How would it be, your Ted? [00:00:19] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure, sure. I got a couple order of businesses to get through before we officially get on to the questions and theme of this podcast. First off, just. This is real quick. We need a, like a. A name for listeners of the podcast. You know how, like, in K pop, the fans have their own name? Some. Some other people, like, podcasts have their names for fans. We gotta have one for this because it's important for the second bit of the podcast. [00:00:52] Speaker B: So we need to have our own posse nickname. Yeah. [00:00:56] Speaker A: Like twice has once. Blackpink has links. I don't like how you said they had the Swifties. I'm sure Beyonce has them. The Beyoncers. [00:01:08] Speaker C: That's what they're called? [00:01:09] Speaker B: Yeah, that's what they're called. You nailed it. [00:01:11] Speaker A: Right? Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. Beyonce, I believe. I believe it's actually called. They're. They're called Destiny's Childs. I'm a. I might be wrong about children, but we need something like that. [00:01:24] Speaker B: So, like, yappers just doesn't come to mind. [00:01:27] Speaker A: I did think of Yappers and I was like, I. I want to see what. We're a collective here. We're. We're a group. We. I figured let's try to see if we could figure it out as a unit. But yappers did cross my mind. [00:01:42] Speaker C: I feel like we are the Yappers, though. [00:01:43] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. [00:01:45] Speaker C: Fan base needs to be something else. [00:01:46] Speaker A: Yeah. I agree with Sam in this instance. [00:01:49] Speaker C: Like, we are the Rolling Stones and everyone else is the. [00:01:52] Speaker A: The Stoners. Right? Is that. That's what they're called, right? [00:01:55] Speaker C: I think so. [00:01:57] Speaker A: There's no other connotation to that? [00:01:59] Speaker B: No. Well, if we are the appers, they are like, they're the listeners, but, like, that's just a normal thing. Right? They're listening to a podcast. [00:02:07] Speaker A: Everyone. Everyone's listening. Everyone's listen in the hearts. [00:02:10] Speaker B: One could argue an issue with our culture currently is we don't listen to each other enough. Ted. [00:02:17] Speaker A: So there is a famous bit. There's not a famous bit. There's a bit in news radio where things the radio host is saying is taken too literally. He's like, these. These politicians should be taken from their car and shot. And then that happens. And then he goes, I think we need to take a moment and Listen to our hearts. And then he's doing a regular break and he gets handed a piece of paper. He goes, breaking news. A man in a mental institute rips out his own heart and presses it against his ear. The Yappies. Is that. Is that something like Yappers? [00:02:57] Speaker B: Nah, yappy, but like. [00:02:59] Speaker A: It's like yuppies, but like for Yappers. [00:03:02] Speaker B: The yap squad, the yap zone. [00:03:07] Speaker C: Yapaholics, the app. [00:03:10] Speaker A: All right, Sam, we've arrived at the Yapaholics. With that said, I like to introduce a new thing. It is the Yapaholics Delight. It is a list of people. They're famous people who are. These are going to be people if they ever discover the pod. Open invitation for them to be on the pod. They have to be. It had. They have to be linked unconsciously to the things we have spoken about. And I'm delighted to introduce the first member of the Yappers Delight. It is. With a career record of 3 and 5, a 289 ERA and 82 career strikeouts, new York Yankees relief pitcher Scott Benjamin. Morton Efros. Welcome to the Yapaholics Delight list for. During the Yankees question of the day TikTok. He answered, what is your favorite movie? He answered with the correct answer of Hot Rod. [00:04:18] Speaker B: Does this mean we're all like obligated to get efroth jerseys? Because the issue is his name's not. His name's not on the back of it. [00:04:25] Speaker C: So you can just get a 58 or whatever number. [00:04:29] Speaker A: Yeah, but we. But Scott Efrot. I. I was gonna do a bit where I showed the picture of him answering Hot Rod, but in the group chat, Sam beat me to it and said, scott, what did. Scott Everest is the man. Is that what you had said? [00:04:46] Speaker C: I said, Scott F. Ross, new favorite Yankee. [00:04:49] Speaker A: New favorite Yankee. And so since Sam had beaten me to the punch, I had to come up with a new bit and this was that bit. So Scott F. Ross, if you're listening, I know you are, shoot one of us a DM and you can come on the pod. I will say a lot of those answers. I don't know if you guys. I know Sam did, cuz he. [00:05:07] Speaker B: Yeah, I watched it. [00:05:08] Speaker A: A lot of those answers are not good answers. The people who are answering, like children's movies. They have kids. [00:05:14] Speaker C: Yeah. You could tell who the dads were. [00:05:16] Speaker A: They get the pass. Oh, you don't think Luke Weaver is like actively choosing to like watch Moana 2? [00:05:22] Speaker B: Moana 2? Yeah. Yeah. It's like, what's your most rewatched movie Moana 2 from. [00:05:29] Speaker C: From. [00:05:30] Speaker A: From three months ago. Time to date this podcast. I am flying tomorrow, February 18th. Currently in 2025, there's been an average of 1.5 plane crashes. The plane strategies per week, hoping not to be the one on my flight and my return flight if I do crash in a fiery death. This app will be up next week and then you guys can continue the pod with or without me. [00:06:05] Speaker B: Can I get your skateboard if you die? [00:06:07] Speaker A: I don't have. I do have a skateboard. It's barely used. [00:06:11] Speaker C: It's the skateboard picture. [00:06:14] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, sure. [00:06:15] Speaker D: I wanted the bleak picture. Listen, I mean, you know, fight over. [00:06:20] Speaker C: It at the estate sale for us. [00:06:21] Speaker D: Yeah, true. I mean, listen, if we really want this pot to grow like we need, we need some headlines, we need some pop. [00:06:29] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:29] Speaker A: And that's why we gotta get Scott Efros on the podcast. [00:06:33] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:34] Speaker D: But he's not gonna be on a flight tomorrow. [00:06:37] Speaker C: The podcast Right now, our number one, Scott F. Ross appearance. Number two, Ted horrible plane crash. [00:06:43] Speaker A: Yeah, obviously I'm gonna continue to date the podcast. Yesterday, two days ago, was the NBA skills challenge. And the reason I'm bringing that up is because somehow someone got disqualified. And it feels insane to get disqualified for a for fun event. [00:07:05] Speaker C: They earned it, though. I don't know if you saw the clip. [00:07:07] Speaker A: I did watch the clip. We are discussing CP3 and Victor Wembanyama participating in the skills challenge and them just not in the spirit of the game, shooting shots. They're just throwing the ball up there to get to the next part as fast as possible. And apparently that got them disqualified. [00:07:29] Speaker B: I'm not surprised they were disqualified. I'm surprised it took somebody 25 years to try it. [00:07:36] Speaker A: This is it. Well, the skill challenge isn't 25 years old, is it? [00:07:40] Speaker B: Skill challenge. We're going on for a long time, since we were kids. Skill challenge. Because I remember watching Jason Kidd as a knits fan in the skills challenge when I was a young. A young lad. [00:07:51] Speaker A: So I guess I've never been like an All Star festivity sort of guy. Even all back when used to be. [00:08:00] Speaker B: My favorite event, Saturday night. [00:08:01] Speaker A: Really? [00:08:02] Speaker B: Saturday night also used to be my favorite event in sports. Yeah, the first. [00:08:06] Speaker C: First 2003. [00:08:09] Speaker A: 2003. Okay. So almost 25. [00:08:11] Speaker C: 22 years old. [00:08:12] Speaker A: Yeah, I. It's just. I don't know, I'm so uninterested in the all star festivities and like, you know, let's not get into the dunk contest of it all. All right. We're not going to get into the dunk contest, though. But I'm glad I'm taking your advice. [00:08:29] Speaker B: Sorry, I thought we were listening. I thought we need to get better. [00:08:32] Speaker A: Well, I choose to. One more thing before we get to the episode proper. I have the results of the High School movie draft poll. I'm gonna go off one. For some reason, this one has 50 more responses than any other question. It is. Don't know how that happened. Weird. Did I Ted, rig the wheel to land on my name first? It's an overwhelmingly no. I did not rig the wheel. People have spoken. I did not. Everything's on the up and up on that. One of the questions I had asked was, what was the biggest omission? Tenacious D's pick of Destiny is one of them. Iron man or Wall E? I don't know if I agree with that. I answered with Jackass too, because I rewatched Jackass 2 after we recorded that episode, and I was like, damn, we really screwed the pooch on that one. [00:09:27] Speaker C: I think it was in Honorable mention. [00:09:28] Speaker A: It was in honorable Mentions, but I. [00:09:30] Speaker C: Don'T think it was a total omission. [00:09:31] Speaker A: I know, but like I. But watching it, I said, I feel like we could have replaced a couple movies with that. Animated movies in general. Some bozo says, I don't recall hearing forgetting Sarah Marshall. Hey, Bozo, I was picked in the second round. [00:09:48] Speaker B: Hi, bozo. Nice to meet you. [00:09:50] Speaker A: Yeah. And then Wally makes a second appearance on Biggest Omission. [00:09:54] Speaker B: Surprised we got so much Wally coverage. [00:09:56] Speaker A: Compared to Wally and animated movies. [00:09:59] Speaker B: No, I know, but it compared to up. Right, because there was the same era. So I feel like many people remember up with that iconic scene. [00:10:08] Speaker A: Here's my hot take on up. [00:10:10] Speaker B: Go ahead. [00:10:11] Speaker A: Obviously, first 15 minute minutes, that whole, like, experience. Fantastic. We can all agree with that. That movie drags after that. I feel like it's. We are glazing those 15 minutes and where you ride that high for the rest of the movie. But when you sit and watch that movie, the rest of that movie is a slog to get through. [00:10:37] Speaker B: You can disagree. [00:10:39] Speaker A: I don't know. [00:10:40] Speaker B: I would agree. Maybe it's 10 minutes too long. I don't think the rest of the movie is a slog. [00:10:45] Speaker A: Okay. I. I did say in college when I realized that, I said the middle of this movie really drags was what I had said to my friend. And he looked. He had looked at me and said, this is what I've been saying for years since the movie had come out. Another question was, what was the best pick, Social Network or Hot Rod. Hot Fuzz. For making last pick. I answered super bad because that's the number one pick and it was a slam dunk. Not every day you slam dunk the number one pick. Another answer for Hot Fuzz. Someone said Borat and then another one was Scott Pilgrim. [00:11:20] Speaker B: Nice. [00:11:21] Speaker A: Yeah. Worst pick. Two for Moneyball, two for Knocked up. [00:11:27] Speaker D: Another two for Moneyball. [00:11:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:11:30] Speaker B: If you, if, if you're, if you're the, the same fraud that wrote that we forgot Sarah Marshall, I guarantee that they also wrote Moneyball. [00:11:38] Speaker A: Nope, nope. I can confirm that the fraud. Who said forgetting Sarah Marshall was a minute. Let me confirm this by looking at the individual sheets. [00:11:48] Speaker B: I also think if you wrote Moneyball, you have to state that you are one of our former friends and colleagues from Major League Baseball because that's the only way you would write it. [00:11:58] Speaker A: This is a different person. Someone answered with anchorman, which anchorman was not picked. [00:12:05] Speaker C: It didn't fall within the window. [00:12:08] Speaker A: John Perez mentioned it and he rightfully said it did not fall in the window. It would have been his first round pick, I believe is what you had said. [00:12:16] Speaker D: Yes, and I stand by that. [00:12:17] Speaker A: Yeah. And I don't, I'm telling you, I don't disagree with you. It's just if you're saying it's the worst pick in a situation in which it's not picked. Hey buddy, get your ears clean. To quote my Spanish high school teacher, Ella Ella, listen and learn. What was the most important factor in voting? Social network pick was very good. I couldn't vote for the dastardly Sam Tidings. [00:12:43] Speaker C: Was that by somebody who was related to me by any chance? [00:12:46] Speaker A: I'm in my heart of hearts. I believe it is in their question. In the rest of the questions, best pick, worst pick. They did put parentheses of where they were picked in the draft. [00:12:57] Speaker C: Yeah, it sounds like a Steven Tyngs response. [00:13:00] Speaker A: Yeah, I did read it and said this seems like something Steven Tidings would do. Good picks, not sure. Hilarity of movies chosen best movies. And someone answered with that I win Trump style. I asked, was character a factor in your voting process? People said no. And now finally the moment we've been waiting for. Who won the draft? And with a total of 50% of the votes, I'm the winner of the draft. Thank you. [00:13:31] Speaker B: Congratulations. [00:13:34] Speaker C: Like suggest we do a follow up Google Doc to see if you rigged the results of the. Did I rig the draft? [00:13:45] Speaker A: Did I rig the draft vote that has the same number of answers as all the other questions? Except the last question. [00:13:52] Speaker D: This was an independent study that was done by Ted and only Ted, an independent counsel. And it's closed and shut. [00:14:02] Speaker B: Just like how Ted likes his politics, you know? [00:14:05] Speaker A: Yeah. Hold. What's the quote? The man. [00:14:09] Speaker D: This was Ted's idea. This was. This was Ted's idea of doing a podcast. I'm gonna invite all my friends, not give them any heads up as to what we're gonna talk about. [00:14:18] Speaker A: I gave you heads up for that one. What are you doing then? [00:14:20] Speaker D: We're gonna do a contest. Then we're gonna do a contest, and then I'm going to win the end. [00:14:26] Speaker B: And I'm also going to make another question clearing my name, because the answer was no. I didn't rig it. [00:14:32] Speaker A: What's the quote? The man who does something for his country is not a craze is doing it for the love of his country. It's not illegal. I believe that's the. That's the similar process I'm going through. [00:14:47] Speaker D: You and Richard Nixon. [00:14:48] Speaker A: Yeah. Next episode will be another draft episode. I'm trying to figure out if I want to do whole scale Disney movies or do like pre2010 Disney movies to kind of narrow the field a little more and kind of weed out, like late Marvel movies Disney thing. Like, you know, when Disney started buying up properties. I'll leave it up to you guys. [00:15:16] Speaker B: Well, we know up won't be on your list. [00:15:19] Speaker A: They definitely will not. [00:15:21] Speaker D: By the way, I just went on vegasods.com and Ted is minus 10,000 to win the next draft. [00:15:28] Speaker C: That's a bargain. [00:15:30] Speaker A: I'm guaranteeing you. I'm gonna make a pick that's not gonna do me any favors. [00:15:35] Speaker D: Let's just in minus 12,000 now. [00:15:37] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:15:38] Speaker C: I'm taking Hot Rod in the first round. [00:15:42] Speaker A: But if you want to, like, kind of like weed out the Disney buying up properties era and stick with, like, when we had the illusion that, like, there were multiple studios making movies. We can stick to like a pre 2010 Disney even though they technically own Marvel at that point. [00:16:01] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:16:02] Speaker A: All right, next draft. Pre2010 Disney movies. This can include DCOMs, the Disney Channel original movies, if you're familiar. Or they could just be the blockbusters, baby. It's your list. Now onto the official episode. As always, these episodes have six question, six or seven questions I give pose to the appers. They discuss them, give their opinions, give their answers in a timely manner. If they give an answer that I do not like, it is a bad take. It is a bad faith argument. It is Something that seems boring and bland, and anyone answers, they get hit with the bad take. Buzzer. Let's take a listen to that. Now. That is from the YouTube video called Me playing guitar parentheses badly. Smoke on the water. Because the theme of this week is music. And what is more encompassing music for the fans as someone playing smoke on the water on guitar. Since Joe won the high school memories episode, he has written the first question. Disaster. You're at your favorite artist concert, and the lead seeker suffers a devastating injury with. With one song left in the concert. For some reason, they ask you to come on stage to sing one last song, but you need to get every last word correct. Which artist would it be and what song would you sing? [00:17:44] Speaker B: I feel like it's a good, you know, general question. See our musical taste. See our. Our ability to memorize words and whatnot. I'm curious what your answers would be. [00:17:54] Speaker A: Well, you know, I'm every. I'm going to so many Eve 6 concerts when that lead singer dies and I'm brought on stage easily, I'm gonna be doing inside. Inside out. [00:18:07] Speaker C: Classic of the genre. [00:18:08] Speaker A: It is. Yes, it is, though. Like it? I'm not to tip my hand on the next question, but is a song I do know back to front, reliably. [00:18:18] Speaker D: I've given this a lot of thought. You know this song front to back. I'm going with the champs to tequila. That's a great song because, you know, you're going to. [00:18:32] Speaker A: They're easily. They're doing concerts. They're touring consistently. [00:18:36] Speaker C: You want to see them play all the hits. [00:18:38] Speaker B: And by. And they haven't played tequila yet. You know what I mean? [00:18:42] Speaker A: Like, they haven't played it for the encore. Yeah, right. [00:18:46] Speaker D: Exactly. You guys, let me speak on the matter. You guys clearly have not gone to the shows or put in the work that I have when it comes to this. Oh, please respect the expert's opinion. I don't jump all over you guys when you fix a draft and then say it's not fixed. [00:19:02] Speaker A: My character's being attacked. [00:19:05] Speaker D: Yeah. So, yeah, listen, it's a fun song. Everybody knows it, but not everyone can sing it well. And that's something that I've mastered over the last few years. So it's a fun song overall, and who doesn't like it? And, you know, listen, we could talk about all their other songs. You know, let's just, you know. [00:19:28] Speaker A: Too many. [00:19:30] Speaker D: Too many to mention. Including the sequel too much tequila or poquito uno or tequila, the 2003 version. [00:19:42] Speaker A: Oh, whoa. [00:19:43] Speaker D: That's when they really hit the Odyssey 2001. Right. Or Tequila Part 3, the Empire Strikes back. So, you know, like, it's. That's what I would do. And I think people just know me, you know, like, they. I get stopped. People say, oh, you're the tequila guy. So I'll take a photo. I'm like, when. I'm like, when Joe Brown goes up to people at these Pokemon conventions, and then he's like, no, no, I'm on the stream. And they're like, oh, all right. And then Joe's like, do you want a picture? And they're like, well, not really. Okay. [00:20:12] Speaker A: Why. Why are you attacking Joe's character? What is going on with Joe? [00:20:15] Speaker C: Really antagonistic opening answer. [00:20:18] Speaker D: So they come up to me like, oh, my God, you're the tequila guy. And I'm like, I am. I am the tequila guy. And then actually, at the last concert, they booed the lead singer off stage and had me. [00:20:29] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:20:31] Speaker D: Yeah, that's. That's my answer for round number one. [00:20:34] Speaker A: I'm assuming you guys have seen that video where that guy does do tequila for karaoke. Yes. Right. We're all familiar with that video. [00:20:43] Speaker D: That's my rival. That's Gary Oak. [00:20:48] Speaker A: Joe. Joe, let's see. What's your answer? [00:20:52] Speaker B: First of all, I'm very, very disappointed that the. The boo. The booing sound didn't come from tequila. [00:20:59] Speaker A: Because that got a lot for me. [00:21:03] Speaker B: But I feel like that's the. That's the easy answer. That's the here comes. That's. Here comes the pizza moment. [00:21:11] Speaker A: I was expecting happy birthday to come out of his mouth. [00:21:14] Speaker B: From the famous singer. You know, Monroe. I guess her concert. [00:21:18] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. [00:21:19] Speaker B: I think Tequila. I respect it. I wouldn't have. I. I think if you're gonna do a. A bit concert song, I think the answer was around the world by daft punk, where you just say around the world 127 times, and then the song is over. I feel like that would have been a better option, but you do you. [00:21:37] Speaker D: Yeah, but nobody knows that song. [00:21:38] Speaker B: It's not popular, so no one knows that. [00:21:42] Speaker A: You got it. [00:21:43] Speaker B: You're right. [00:21:43] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:21:44] Speaker D: Got four down Votes for Moneyball. [00:21:47] Speaker A: Quick. He got two. Quick question. [00:21:48] Speaker B: Two. [00:21:49] Speaker A: Quick question. Who sings tequila Champs? Okay. Just wanted to see how quickly you had that off the dome again. Again. Googled it. [00:22:00] Speaker D: Listen, I celebrate their entire catalog, but everyone knows. [00:22:03] Speaker B: Did. Did they have a crossover album with Pharrell or did I miss that one? [00:22:08] Speaker A: They didn't have a crossover album with Pharrell. Daft punk. Had, like, a song with Pharrell. This. That discovery has a lot of, like, featured artists. [00:22:17] Speaker C: Summer of 2013, and life was a little different. [00:22:20] Speaker A: Yeah. So what's your answer, Joe? [00:22:24] Speaker D: The. The champs wrote We Are the World, and they actually inspired Billy Joel and Billy Crystal. [00:22:31] Speaker A: All right, we're. We're cutting this guy off. [00:22:33] Speaker B: We're muting him and Billy Ray Cyrus just every Billy you can imagine. My answer. My favorite band of all time is the Foo Fighters. And my favorite song by them, even if it is cliche, is wow up. [00:22:46] Speaker A: You want Dave Grohl to die after he divorced his wife or whatever the drama was? [00:22:50] Speaker B: No, it's a. It's a. It's a devastating injury, not a death. [00:22:54] Speaker A: You know, he broke his arm and continued playing. I don't think an injury is taking him off stage. [00:22:59] Speaker B: You know why I know that? Because he broke his leg in Brazil and then he performed at Citi Field with a broken leg in a chair. And I was there, Ted. I remember cuz I was there in the crowd in City field. [00:23:14] Speaker A: Just say 10 years ago or just say everlong and let's get on with it. [00:23:18] Speaker B: No, no, it's Best of you is my favorite. [00:23:22] Speaker A: That's my. [00:23:22] Speaker B: That's my favorite song. [00:23:24] Speaker A: Got me through some tough times in middle school. I'm respecting your answer for that one. I do like that song from Foo Fighters. [00:23:30] Speaker B: That's what. That's their final song. Not everyone like the one you wait the whole concert, like, for. As someone who's been to a Foo Fighters concert, you know what I'm saying? Like, you wait for them to play the biggest hit right at the end, they end it with best of you. So, yeah, that's. [00:23:43] Speaker A: That's. That makes sense. [00:23:45] Speaker C: It's. It's very Mets coded that a guy with a broken arm still had to play concert. It's like. Like, Dave, we don't have any more IL spots, so you gotta. For. For mine, I'm gonna go with clocking in at a robust 7 minutes and 41 seconds. All my friends by LCD sound system, which is the song that they close their shows with. And I think doing a song that long and not just repeating lyrics like some people in here want to do, it'll really showcase my abilities and help my future career as a. Like a pinch hit, I guess, like relief pitcher for concert singer, concert concert. [00:24:29] Speaker A: For, like, LCD Sound System, if they were still touring, would, like, keep you on the bench and like. Oh, yeah, yeah. Bring out the lefty. [00:24:38] Speaker C: Just like. Just like, you know, called the bullpen hey, we got the encore. We're all on our older side now. We're gonna bail like, Sam, you can handle it. So I think that'd be a really good showcase for me. [00:24:49] Speaker A: All right, second question. I feel like I'm getting a lot of the same answers here, but such is life. Oh, what the fuck? Oh, no, I changed the order. Question number one. We're pretending like nothing happened. Question number one, the song that plagued your high school life. Let's bring it back. Episode two, reminiscing about high school. [00:25:11] Speaker C: This guy loves high school. [00:25:12] Speaker A: I love high school. I. I did think a lot about. All right, quick side note. Did. After that episode, did any of you guys remember some high school memories that weren't brought up? [00:25:23] Speaker B: Absolutely. Yeah. [00:25:24] Speaker A: 100% worth sharing or you don't want to share? [00:25:28] Speaker B: Oh, no, no. The. The whole point was that, oh, my God, I'm happy I didn't. You know, it's like a. You remembered something. Like, oh, yeah, I was on a high and my brain is my own worst enemy, so I had to be brought back down to earth and think of some negative memories. [00:25:40] Speaker A: You know, I. Because I remember because I was. When I was looking at the picture of me in the onesie, I looked at my shoes and said, huh, those don't look like my shoes. And then I had remembered that though I'm wearing cloth. The, like, cloth canvas van slip ons. At a point, they got a hole in them and I just ripped off the cloth and underneath it was just whatever the material was. And those continued to be the shoes I wear or wore. And then one day when we were painting the stage, my friend says, can I just write your name on my shot? My shoe with the black paint. And so, like, they were just up shoes. Another memory I remembered was that I did get banned from making school announcements. Oh, I. I was doing the school. I had got my friend and I got a volunteer to do the announcements for the school play. It was Our Town. Every high school does a production of Our Town. It's law. [00:26:42] Speaker B: It's law. Yep. [00:26:44] Speaker A: And so I had this whole bit planned out that was going to go on for months where I was going to be a stumbling mess, not know any of the information correctly. My friend was going to be like the producer feeding me the correct information when I got it wrong. And it was escalate and escalate for months. I do the first one. My friend, who knew I was doing the bit later, who he was, since he was in student council, he was in homeroom with all the student. Other members of student council. So all the other grades, and I'm in classroom and goes. The president of the. I was senior this year, and he's like, the president of. Of the junior year. Like, was like, felt so bad for you because I had done such a good job fumbling everything. End of that day, my friend who goes up and does a completely different bit, I'm not there. He calls the show awesome town because we love lonely islands, calls it awesome town. Everything's, like, fucked up. Nothing gets corrected. And then I'm, like, getting ready to leave, and people are coming up to going. Teachers are coming up to going, you can't go on mic and just say awesome town. And I look at them going, that wasn't me. I didn't do it. I go to drama class the next day, and the drama teachers are like, you can't. You guys are done making announcements. You guys cannot make announcements anymore. Wow. The man guy got censored. [00:28:17] Speaker C: I. I thought of one that I didn't get a chance to mention on the podcast. It kind of segues into this one a little bit. But one of my good friends who was not an amazing student, let's say he was in AP History, AP US History the year before me, and he got to one of the essay questions and had no idea what to do. So he wrote the. He just wrote like, hey, sorry, I have no idea what to write here, so instead I'm gonna write the lyrics to buy you a drink by T. Pain. And he did that, and still. Still somehow ended up getting a two on the whole. I mean, no, not enough for, like, to pass it or anything, but still got a two. I figure, like, if you just like, punt one of the questions like that, you just get, like, a one or a zero. But maybe they were generous with the rest of his answers. But I thought of that after the podcast. [00:29:11] Speaker A: John, did you remember anything from high school or. No, just all the honks. [00:29:14] Speaker D: I do. [00:29:15] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:15] Speaker D: Yeah. No, I remember. It was funny. Going into my senior year, I had a new neighbor next door and whatever, so she started going to school with me, walking over. She wasn't really, like, that popular or anything. And we had this foreign exchange program where there was this kid that was trying to earn money to continue his education in the United States. I think he was from Cambodia. Yeah, it was from Cambodia. And I was in charge of the funds. Like, I was a treasurer of the key club that got him over here. And so what happened was I found out that the. I don't Want to say her name. But my neighbor, she used to be a former adult film star, and she would, like, go to all these conventions over the weekends and things like that. And I really was smitten with her. And so I told her, hey, listen, I'm really into you. We shared some moments. I really don't want you doing this anymore. I'm not really comfortable with you. So she stops doing it. Turns out her handler comes back. He poses as my counselor when we go to the bank. Yeah. So we go to the bank because this guy lost a lot of money and he withdrew all the funds out of it. And I was up for the scholarship award dinner. And so that night I go after I get beat up because he wants me to steal a trophy from this other house. Anyway, I'm like, they gave me, like, I don't know, these ridiculous over the counter drugs. I took way too many of them. And when I'm supposed to give this speech, I had this great line at the beginning. I don't know if you heard of it. It's like, I forgot what president was. It was like, ask not what your country could do for you, but what you can do for your country. Like, that was going to be my opening line. [00:31:00] Speaker A: I believe that's JFK before he got shot in the head. [00:31:03] Speaker D: That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My head felt worse than his. [00:31:10] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [00:31:11] Speaker D: I'll tell you when that. When that. That shrimp. He stole that line from me. Terrible. Anyway, long story short, to get all the money back, she had some friends that were also in the adult film industry, and we made a sex education film. And it went. [00:31:26] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm sure you. I was thinking about it. I was like, this sounds awfully familiar to the movie Girl Next Door. [00:31:33] Speaker D: No, it was cool. And then we named it the Goonies. [00:31:38] Speaker B: You were big on the goon train before. [00:31:42] Speaker C: Early goon adopter. [00:31:43] Speaker A: Yes. [00:31:45] Speaker D: First of all, doing that podcast really resonated some other memories. [00:31:50] Speaker A: Right. I'm pretty sure this is 2000. This is like, what, 2001's the Girl Next Door. [00:31:55] Speaker B: I think it was like 04 or something. [00:31:58] Speaker D: It was 2007 at my high school and it was. [00:32:00] Speaker A: It is. [00:32:01] Speaker B: Oh, it is. [00:32:01] Speaker A: It is 2004. [00:32:04] Speaker B: I would know that because it is unironically one of. One of my favorite movies of all time. Like, I've seen that movie quite a number. It's not what a quote my friend and I use to this day is the juice worth the squeeze is in that movie? Very, very prominent. It's in John Perez's life story actually. [00:32:20] Speaker A: Very, very prominent speed racers in this movie. [00:32:23] Speaker B: It's a great movie. I was. I was gonna ask John Perez if his. His antagonist looked a little bit like Timothy Oliphant or not. [00:32:33] Speaker D: No, it was a. It was a short. It was a short person with. [00:32:38] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:32:41] Speaker B: Jack Bauer's daughter, wasn't it? [00:32:42] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:32:43] Speaker A: Yes. All right, anyways, let's get back to the episode. Proper song that plagued your high school life. [00:32:50] Speaker C: Do you mean, like, was constantly playing and you never want to hear it again, or like. [00:32:57] Speaker A: This was however you want to interpret it? I will not. [00:33:01] Speaker B: I think the plague was pretty negative back in the day. [00:33:04] Speaker A: Yeah. I'm saying, like, yeah, to some. Well, we. So we had a plague of our own. And was that a good thing or a bad thing? [00:33:13] Speaker C: Some. [00:33:14] Speaker A: To some. Yeah. It's just like, either if it was everywhere, you never want to hear it again. However you want to interpret it is how you can interpret it. [00:33:23] Speaker D: Yeah, I'm gonna go with Irreplaceable by Beyonce. That song just stinks. [00:33:29] Speaker B: I'm gonna Beyonce twice. [00:33:32] Speaker D: It's just. Yeah, it's. It's really. It's really bad. [00:33:35] Speaker C: And she's made podcast offices firebombed. [00:33:39] Speaker D: She's made fantastic songs, and she is a Mount Rushmore figure, but Irreplaceable is just so annoying. It's awful. I don't want to hear about the symbolism. Moving on from blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, everything you own in a box. [00:33:52] Speaker B: To the left, to the left. [00:33:53] Speaker D: It's just. Yeah, to the left, to the left. I know. Yeah. I hated that song then. I hate it more now. It's not like Post Malone, where, like, I didn't like him at first, and then he grew on me. Like, this song just never got better. And Beyonce's made fantastic songs after this, so I'm not knocking her, I'm just knocking the song. [00:34:11] Speaker A: It's the indictment on her catalog, not her ability as a singer. Songwriter, right? [00:34:17] Speaker D: Oh, correct. No, she's fantastic. She's. She's one of the all time greats. That song just. [00:34:21] Speaker A: I had to make sure you had to get in the defense of Beyonce in there. Can't have my. [00:34:25] Speaker B: Aren't they the Hive? [00:34:27] Speaker A: They are the Hive. [00:34:29] Speaker B: Even though the Beyoncers, or. What did you say? [00:34:33] Speaker A: Beyoncers. They are. They are the Finnish rock group the Hives. That's correct. That's the name of her fans. [00:34:43] Speaker D: I think they're called the BTS Army. I could be wrong. [00:34:50] Speaker B: There's a chance. [00:34:52] Speaker C: Yeah, I. I'M gonna go with. [00:34:56] Speaker B: I. [00:34:57] Speaker C: Would say a classic of the songs you could not escape from genre. That would be Crank Dad, Parentheses, Soldier Boy, Tell him. No, no, no. You can't smoke on the water. [00:35:19] Speaker A: In this podcast, we respect. [00:35:23] Speaker C: See, the thing is, I do respect other parts of Soldier Boy's catalog. It is unironically. [00:35:30] Speaker A: Because, though here's my reasoning. I'm with Sam. That it. But, like, this feels like such a. It's such an obvious answer to me because this song was like. [00:35:40] Speaker C: No, someone else said a different song played everywhere. This is not a one one. [00:35:45] Speaker A: Yeah, no, I'm not. It's not a draft. It's like I. It's like this song was everywhere. And I feel like a lot of people would share this sentiment with you, which is why it's a bad take. I want a. Like. I want, like, a deep cut, just like. Yeah, obviously, you can. Could not have escaped this song. Maybe I'm retracting the. The sound. [00:36:06] Speaker C: Yeah, take the sound back. But. So I'm looking at Soldier Boy's Wikipedia page. There's a feud section. We've got Ice Tea on. [00:36:16] Speaker A: Hold on, hold on. Does he have a feud with Little B? I believe he does. [00:36:20] Speaker C: We'll get there, because these are the first four. Ice Tea, Charles Hamilton, who was another rapper coming up around the same time. Bow wow number four is the US Armed Forces. [00:36:34] Speaker A: Okay, all right, hold on. Let's hear about. [00:36:38] Speaker C: Because. Because of the. The line in the song let's Be Real, which is, and I quote, the FBI and all the army troops fighting for what? Be your own man. [00:36:49] Speaker A: Okay, what's the problem here? [00:36:53] Speaker C: By military members and their families? Because the song came out around the 10th anniversary of the 911 attack. [00:37:00] Speaker A: Okay, well, okay, quick thing. I can't believe I have to say this. [00:37:05] Speaker B: Defend Soldier boy. [00:37:06] Speaker A: What would 911 has nothing to do with the army. So why are they bringing it up? Because why are they bringing up 911 under this. [00:37:16] Speaker D: Oh, boy. [00:37:18] Speaker A: All right, keep going with the. [00:37:20] Speaker C: But anyway, back to Soulja Boy. Turn my swag on. Kiss me through the phone. Like bangers. Pretty boy swag. Obviously, like, I do appreciate his catalog. It's just like, you know, when Friend. [00:37:32] Speaker A: Of the Pod, Evan Dolan, hates that song, he also. [00:37:36] Speaker D: Soldier Boy also had that song. What was it? What about Building 7? [00:37:44] Speaker C: It was also a controversial one for the US Armed Forces, but. [00:37:48] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think. [00:37:52] Speaker B: I think Soldier Boy stole, I think that army lyric directly out of Ted's diary. I think that's when you took that Verbatim. [00:38:00] Speaker A: I didn't have a diary. I was too cool. [00:38:03] Speaker B: Had a blog spot doing you're too. Too busy doing Our Town. [00:38:08] Speaker A: Exactly. I was too busy potting my revenge on how to do school announcements. Again, cool question. He did not have a beef with Little B. I thought he did. [00:38:19] Speaker C: Not according to Wicked. He's got a lot of beefs. [00:38:22] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:38:23] Speaker C: I'll drop the link in the. We can put this in the show notes. [00:38:26] Speaker A: Yes, I know. Everyone needs to remember all of Soulja Boy's beefs. [00:38:31] Speaker C: Yeah. In case you have to remember all the feuds Soldier Boys had in his career. [00:38:35] Speaker B: All right. [00:38:36] Speaker A: If he doesn't. All right. All right. Because I played the sound. Because I had. I thought I remembered him having a beef with Little B Based God. And if that's not true, then I am retracting. [00:38:50] Speaker C: Thank you. That means a lot to me. I don't want to. I didn't want to be the first person to get smoke on the water. [00:38:57] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:38:57] Speaker C: It means a lot to me. [00:38:58] Speaker A: So. So your reasoning crank. That was everywhere. It was played at every single school dance. You. Everyone was doing the dance. [00:39:07] Speaker C: School, school dance. Like, every basketball game kickoff. Every single kickoff in every football game. Like, it was just beyond pervasive in. Like, was it 2007, 2008? Both years, maybe. [00:39:20] Speaker A: Like, it was. It was definitely. No, I think it was earlier than that. No, no, no. I think it was. [00:39:28] Speaker B: No. Yeah. I was in high school. [00:39:29] Speaker A: I was a sophomore in high school. And that was at the. Like, the dance. I remember. [00:39:35] Speaker C: Yeah. So that's. That's why it has my vote for plague. [00:39:40] Speaker B: This is really unfortunate for me because I thought now that Sam has been retroactively not smoke on the water. [00:39:48] Speaker A: You're gonna get spot on the water. [00:39:50] Speaker B: I thought Ted would. Surely Ted would not play it twice in the same question. [00:39:54] Speaker A: Oh, baby want. [00:39:56] Speaker B: Right. And so mine is also morning announcements related because I worked on my school's morning announcements as well. [00:40:05] Speaker A: You get to work on them. I didn't get to. So you didn't also. You did. [00:40:09] Speaker B: So I. We would. I. We would have to. Me and my other friend, we. We alternated editing every day. Like an A day, B day situation. Because we had daily morning announcements that would play at the beginning of every day that we had to edit at night and give to the principal at 7:30 every morning on a. [00:40:26] Speaker A: On a. [00:40:26] Speaker B: On a USB drive. But my. The biggest one we did was we did a like, whole school music video parody thing of Rebecca Black's Friday. Yeah. [00:40:37] Speaker A: Hold on. Yeah. Because it's this. It's just like when every. Every high school was like doing a Gangam style parody. Like everyone was doing riffs on it. [00:40:53] Speaker C: Correct. [00:40:56] Speaker B: But I want to. [00:40:57] Speaker A: Not by much. We're not. I know. I'm Sam. I Gang of Salad came out when we. I was in college. [00:41:03] Speaker B: Yeah, we were in college. [00:41:04] Speaker A: Yes, I'm Sam. I loved watching the awful Gangam style high school parodies. They were my favorite thing to watch. It's. I just watched them on YouTube. I did not do them back to. [00:41:20] Speaker B: Back with the Harlem Shake. You'd go style into Harlem Shake. So I already got Smoking on the Water. So we don't need to go too far into it. But I had to make a music video going around getting teachers, getting students from all the different schools and stuff and like just asking them to say the lines. And it took about until like the third, like the fourth or fifth person that like said like yesterday was Thursday was their line. And then everyone started to figure it out because the first couple people didn't, you know, just off the beginning of the song didn't know. But at that point it was. It was a nightmare to edit with all the different heads and. And then I had to listen to the song on like the primitive Adobe Premiere, like whatever, like the budget one that was like, I had like maybe just like new file and like just a couple of editing options that cost like $40 because that's all I had at home. So it was a pain to edit. I had to hear Friday 6 million times and then had like. The whole school was, you know, alto was the greatest thing ever. But it was a nightmare for me to work on. [00:42:23] Speaker A: Song starts with Gotta get up, gotta go downstairs, Gotta stay fresh. Yeah, okay. The song for me that played My high School was by. By Kings of Leon. Sex on Fire. [00:42:36] Speaker B: That's up there. Yep. [00:42:38] Speaker A: So my friends, we like my friend group, we all had the same taste in music. And the song came out when we were all illegally driving each other around in each other's cars. Because I don't know if you know this. You're supposed to wait a year with your license until you can drive non adults in your car. And if that's a law, then why are you giving kids who are not legally adults a driver's? Anyways, so the station we listened to was kroc. Every time we would get into a car and we would put on that station, inevitably that song would come on or would be on when we turn on the radio. Could not escape it. I once left my Friend's birthday party. Got in my car, got in my friend's car, and he was dropping me off at my house, and that song was on, and I told him, we have to change it. [00:43:33] Speaker B: That is a great one. That was all over the place, especially at that age. My honorary mention. Think we can. I would imagine your high schools were the same as mine. Apple Bottom Jeans was also just non stop at my school. [00:43:48] Speaker A: I don't think it was. I didn't go to school. [00:43:50] Speaker B: You weren't in a Flow Rider. You weren't in a Flow Rider Apocalypse. [00:43:54] Speaker D: Yeah, that was all over the. [00:43:55] Speaker A: I'm. I. As Sam said in the last episode, my high school experience was very different than everyone else's high school experience, apparently. [00:44:04] Speaker D: Well, you went to high school. Like, it. Never have I ever. Drake and Josh. Like one of those fantasy lands. [00:44:08] Speaker B: No. [00:44:11] Speaker D: In the buildings. And you're like, uncle J. [00:44:13] Speaker A: Takes place in San Diego, famously. [00:44:17] Speaker D: Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot. San Diego and. And Los Angeles are still vastly different places. [00:44:21] Speaker A: They are. [00:44:25] Speaker D: Southern California. Southern California. One omission. And I think tidings can agree to this. Back in that era, like, every high school, least basketball played. No. No strings by Drake or, excuse me, Big rings. [00:44:38] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:44:39] Speaker D: Like, that was always the walkout song. [00:44:40] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:44:41] Speaker D: All right. [00:44:41] Speaker B: No, I'm thinking of the other Drake song, the one that had, like, Lil Wayne on it and Kanye and Eminem. The. [00:44:47] Speaker D: Yes, that was also there, too. [00:44:49] Speaker B: That was every basket. [00:44:51] Speaker A: I did not go to sporting events, so that's all right. [00:44:56] Speaker C: Above it, too. Also in that area. [00:44:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:44:59] Speaker A: Question number two. Best conference or performance conference? [00:45:05] Speaker B: Like the SEC concert. [00:45:07] Speaker A: You can read. It's on the screen. You. The point of language is to be understood. [00:45:15] Speaker D: I was at the UN Security conference. [00:45:23] Speaker A: John's going. [00:45:26] Speaker D: Yeah, it was weird. Like, Colin Powell came out. We're all. Colin Powell came out. We're all just like, where. Where's Billy Joel? Like, what. What's going on here? [00:45:33] Speaker A: All right, let's just. Just put the question. Let's put the answer in the bag. Guys, I'm. [00:45:41] Speaker B: See, I'm so worried about getting smoke on the water. Like, I. It's like, if you say. And if. [00:45:46] Speaker A: If you say what I think you're gonna say, you're not gonna get smoke. I can tell you right now. I can tell you right now, this is a impossible smoke on a water. Bold question. [00:46:00] Speaker B: Because for all of our episodes, I'm always like, I want to share with my friends my lived experience and the things that were happy for me. And I. I get worried that you know, here comes the peaches. Going to get thrown at me. [00:46:12] Speaker A: You want me to smoke the water? Your dad being dead, Joe, Is that what you want me to do? [00:46:16] Speaker B: Hey, according to other yappers in this conversation, I'm not allowed to bring out that my father died. [00:46:22] Speaker A: So I. I brought it up. I brought it up. [00:46:24] Speaker B: Yes. [00:46:27] Speaker A: It's not an answer. [00:46:30] Speaker B: The best concert was the song. The song they played while I was dancing. As promising. [00:46:36] Speaker A: No. [00:46:41] Speaker B: I think it was pretty cool. I don't know any better if you're gonna kill me for it. My first concert I ever went to was Blink 182 revival when we were in high school. And they were like kind of co headlining but like also they were kind of under them was Fallout Boy and it went to Madison Square Garden and like Pete went shaved his head on stage with Blink 182 and like played a song with them. And like Travis Barker had this like motion drum set that like pushed him out into the crowd so he was in like the center of, of MSG while the rest of the band was on the stage and he was slamming away on the drums and like it was epic. [00:47:21] Speaker A: I. I'm. Respect. Hey, I think Blink180. No, it wasn't. Some 41 in Good Charlotte was my first concert. This is. That's not a question on this sheet. But I thought, I. For a second I thought it was Blink 182, but it wasn't. [00:47:36] Speaker B: So I could be biased because it was the first concert I went to. But like Blink182, Fall Out Boy. That's pretty. That's pretty cool. [00:47:43] Speaker A: That's very high school coded. [00:47:46] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:47:48] Speaker D: First concert. No, no, I win. First concert was. Sorry, that was. [00:47:55] Speaker B: That's the one. [00:48:00] Speaker D: I'm not gonna let you go. But I am sorry. First concert, Eminem, Jay Z at Yankee Stadium was amazing. My favorite concert was ed Sheeran at MetLife Stadium in the summer of 2023. He's just very, very talented. I knew all the songs. It was a lot of fun. I just really got into the moment. [00:48:18] Speaker A: How is he as a live performer? Because I'm not really super familiar. [00:48:22] Speaker D: No, no, he's good. He's good. He creates his own music like there. So he doesn't have any pre made beats. [00:48:31] Speaker A: No, I know what you mean. [00:48:34] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah, he's. He's really good. Yeah, he's really good. Jay Z's live band is really good too. I've seen Jay Z like three times. They're also really good. The percussion's really Good. But, yeah, no, Ed Sheeran was a lot of fun. We were at the Sunday night concert at MetLife, and I think it was the largest crowd in MetLife history, and it easily had, like, 80,000 people. It was insane. [00:48:56] Speaker C: A decade ago, I think my answer would have been different, but due to a certain artist's, let's say, Nazi coded beliefs over the last decade, I can no longer go. [00:49:10] Speaker A: Okay, okay. [00:49:11] Speaker C: With Kanye and Kendrick at Barclays, which was. [00:49:15] Speaker A: Damn. Yeah. [00:49:16] Speaker C: At the time, as a Jew, I can't really admit to that one anymore. So I am gonna go with. [00:49:28] Speaker B: Block. [00:49:28] Speaker C: Party performing all of Silent Alarm at summer stage in 2019. [00:49:34] Speaker A: Silent alarm is such a seminal album for me. Like, that is. Like, that is 20 years ago this year. 20 years ago. Yeah. I. I mean, like, I do. Like, that's when I started really figuring out music taste on my own instead of without outside help. [00:49:55] Speaker B: I'm just gonna be honest. I respect you. Those are just words in a sentence to me. I had no idea what was going on. [00:50:01] Speaker A: You don't know Block Party. They did helicopter. [00:50:05] Speaker C: You know what, Joe? When you're done, when you have. When you have all the free time you have at the convention, you're gonna. [00:50:12] Speaker A: He's back. [00:50:13] Speaker B: This album in the meantime, I'm back home now. I. I got home last night. Yeah. [00:50:17] Speaker C: Okay. No, they played. They played the whole album pretty much front to back. And then for the encore, they played a couple of their other hits. And it was. It was Central Park. It was the. Towards the end of 2019. We didn't know how good we had it back then. And then everything. Then the world. The world changed as we know it. [00:50:40] Speaker A: My answer, I'm going to. I saw Weezer played Blue Album at Madison Square Garden a couple months ago. Blue Album is. Wrestles with Pinkerton as my favorite album of all time. It always depends on how I'm feeling at any given moment, what my favorite Weezer album is. But I'm always hesitant to see Weezer live because you never know if they're gonna give you the hits or play things off of. Like, they're just gonna do a cover of, like, Toto by Africa by Toto. Like, you never know what you're gonna get. But it was billed as a They're gonna play Blue album. So I said, at least I know I'm gonna hear all of Blue Album. Ran into John's brother there, which is funny because I think at that point, I had seen his brother more recently than I had seen John or spoken to him, at least. [00:51:36] Speaker D: Attracts. [00:51:37] Speaker A: Yeah, but it's. You know, they played. They did play a melody of their other songs. I felt insulted when they played Beverly Hills because to me, that's the moment Weezer died. But to hear them play Blue Album is. Was something I will always, you know, remember. I have a lot of videos from it. When they played Only in Dreams, I cried. And then Honorable mention. I went to some stupid concert with Joe one time. [00:52:10] Speaker B: It was greatest night of my life. [00:52:12] Speaker A: It was okay. Oh, and that's not the best concert you ever been to, huh? Interesting. [00:52:16] Speaker B: No, because. Because was. I'll let you say. I'll let you say the artist first, and then I'll reply. [00:52:24] Speaker A: So Joe and I went to see K pop super group twice at MetLife last summer. [00:52:31] Speaker B: Two summers ago now. [00:52:32] Speaker A: Two summers ago now. Yeah. Right. Because it was before the Winter Olympics, I believe. Two. Yeah. Two summers ago. Yeah. I had just gotten my tattoo. I remember. [00:52:46] Speaker B: So Miley pushback. Because, yes, it was the greatest time of my life. Seeing our wonderful twice performance in 135 degrees in the top row of my life stadium. [00:52:55] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:52:56] Speaker B: But my response is, did any of the members of Twice come out into the middle of the stage, slamming on the drums like Travis Barker did? The answer is no, Sana. [00:53:07] Speaker A: And did not do that. [00:53:09] Speaker B: Taeyong did not do that. [00:53:10] Speaker A: So. All right, question number three. Similar concept. What's the worst concert or performance you've ever seen? Mine is another Weezer concert. This time, it's not Weezer's fault. This was when I was in college. I was back home for a. For something, and Weezer was performing in the Anaheim or San Diego area. So I was like, I'll drive down. I drive down. This was still like the ratitude Curly era Weezer. So they weren't doing big shows anymore. But I drove down, and the opening act is one asheroth. And if you're unfamiliar with Astro Roth, his claim to fame was I love College. So he comes on. He comes on stage, performs I love College. We are respectful. We're doing the call and response when he goes, I love drinking. A very respectful I Love College ends. And he goes, you guys know this next one? It's off my album. It's harp on my go kart. No one is into it. He's getting nothing from the crowd. Song ends, and then he does. Then he plays I Love College Again plays I love College Again. Crowd is not having it. Everyone is out of it. He stops and walks off the stage. [00:54:52] Speaker B: All right, so that. That's a beautiful story on its Own. But, Ted, I need to add more context to my Blink 182 concert. [00:55:01] Speaker A: Okay? [00:55:02] Speaker B: Unbelievable. Because when I. When we purchase the tickets, it was billed a trio with All American Rejects opening for Fallout Boy and Blink 182. And for some reason, during the Madison Square Garden portion of the concert, All American Rejects were unavailable. And I swear on my life, the opening act that they found to cover for All American Rejects was Asher Roth. [00:55:33] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:55:36] Speaker B: And he also played I Love College and tried to play other songs that nobody had any idea what they were. And everybody was, like, visibly upset one that he was. That he wasn't the All American Rejects. And they just wanted Fall Out Boy to start. [00:55:57] Speaker A: Yeah, Joe. So would you say he was All American rejected. [00:56:02] Speaker B: All of America rejected him, certainly. All Madison Square Garden rejected him, Certainly. [00:56:07] Speaker A: Can you. I can do this. Can you name what his out. What his album was called? [00:56:12] Speaker B: No. No idea. [00:56:13] Speaker A: It was called Asleep in the Bread Aisle. And in a radio interview, they're like, oh, it's called Asleep in the Bread. Oh, what's that about? He's like, you know, I'm random, I'm funny. And that's how he explained the name of his album. I. This guy was hilarious. He is still performing. I looked it up a couple a while ago because when I saw Weezer, I was telling people this story because it's. It's. I love telling that story. I looked it up. He was still performing. He's only performing in, like, I think in, like, England. [00:56:48] Speaker B: Good for him. [00:56:49] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:56:52] Speaker C: Find something that works. Stick with it. [00:56:54] Speaker A: And what worked was play I love college. [00:56:56] Speaker C: I love college five times to drunk college kids. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll go somewhat related here. This was while I was in college and our spring concert one year. The headliner was Snoop Dogg, and the opening act was Das Racist of the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell fam. [00:57:19] Speaker A: Yes, yes, yes, yes. [00:57:20] Speaker C: And so their set was terrible. Like, they, like, they didn't sound check or something. So all the. The sound was awful. You could barely make out what they were saying. Like, I think it was, like, on purpose. They were trying to be like, oh, it's like a noise band thing or whatever. And then they didn't even play the song. Like, oh, oh, we know. Oh, like, you know, Des Races. Oh, they're the. They're the pizza and Taco Bell guys. [00:57:48] Speaker A: Right? [00:57:49] Speaker C: They didn't even play the song. They were like, all right, we've got one more for you. You're gonna love it. And everyone's like, all right, here it is. And they played some other song and then left. And I was like, this is obviously like they didn't want to be here and they're just doing a bit. But like, as somebody who was there to listen to music and songs, I recognized I was extremely upset and disappointed. [00:58:11] Speaker A: In particular to listen to combination pizza, Taco Bell. [00:58:15] Speaker C: Right. Not that that's like an incredible work of art, but I was like, oh, this is the one song by this band that I've heard of before. Like, I'll. I can sit through it before Snoop shows up. And we didn't even get the chance to do that, unfortunately. So that's my worst concert experience. [00:58:31] Speaker A: Joe. Worst concert, worst performance. [00:58:33] Speaker B: I did Asher off. [00:58:35] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:58:35] Speaker A: Oh, that you were included both years. [00:58:39] Speaker C: Back in your ask her off. [00:58:41] Speaker A: Oh, I thought that was he. I thought he was just piggybacking. I didn't know that was in. [00:58:45] Speaker B: No, because I haven't gone to many concerts in life without knowing they're going to be certified bangers. Right. Because like I don't. [00:58:51] Speaker A: That's respectful. [00:58:53] Speaker B: It's going to be good. Like, so that's why it's worth spending. I knew Foo Fighters gonna be good. My favorite band of all time. [00:58:58] Speaker A: Like, you know, I love, I do. Like, I love going to concerts. So like I'm willing to go to like, yeah, I'm willing to see a band if I like the band. Like a couple years ago I went to it, the Aquabats were in town, which is a Southern California band, which I love. And so I wanted to see them. And they were playing with like Less Than Jake and Bowling for Soup bands. I know, but I'm not like big fans of them. I stayed for the whole concert and it was one of the best concerts I've been to, but it was. That was also like a 4 hour concert. Ran into friend of the pod, Tom Mazer at that concert. [00:59:34] Speaker B: Oh, I'll quickly add on. I used to go to Warped or in Bamboozle every year in New Jersey and someone who's in the thick of it right now. Senor Drake was a headliner one year of Bamboozle and he. They've like basically frame who didn't go to Bamboozle. It was like kind of like two co headline stages, A and B and they would alternate like the one band would play on A for an hour and then the next big band play on B. So like if you're a bigger fan of B, you just go stand on that half of the, you know, air. The outside area waiting for that orange is gone. Whatever so Drake was a headliner and he showed up like two hours late. So there was just like nothing going on. And as this gets into the deep, into the night in. In in North Jersey and like everyone was just super upset. Like he put like low effort in. Like this was early Drake days. This was high school Drake days. This is like kind of when he was popping off for, you know, the not. He was no longer Degrassi Gym or Wheelchair Jimmy or whatever. He was Drake. And it. The crowd did not appreciate how late he was and how little he cared for the performance at the. The rock concert of Bamboozle. [01:00:51] Speaker A: Joe. You guys got different J names, please. Or different names. Perez. [01:00:58] Speaker D: I never mixed it up. [01:01:00] Speaker A: Worst concert performance I am. Well, my brain is a mess. Yes, I have long Covid. [01:01:09] Speaker D: No, no, no. I knew you before COVID Worst concert was two friends. If you ever heard of them. They have the big booty mixes on YouTube. They're awful. And the concert was at Arse Hill Stadium. My friend got tickets for it. When they play their mixes, it's great. When they play their original music, it's not so great. So yeah, that was. It was just not fun. I. I can't name any of their songs. I couldn't at the time. I can't now. I can't pick them out of a lineup. If they were holding signs, it said we are two friends. But it was a good, you know, like all my friends on My wife was good. [01:01:53] Speaker A: All right, question number four. Song that always pops up in your head. The ear worm that connect that can't quite get rid of how stuck in your head for however long it's been stuck in your head. Joe, I'll start with you. [01:02:12] Speaker B: I mean, this goes back to our MLB days because I remember Ted making fun of me for how much I love the song. But Post Malone and Sway. Sway Sunflower from the original Spider verse movie is like to. I mean I look to this day in 2025. Like that was however many years ago. I used to listen to it every day. Like, I still probably one of my most listened to songs of all time. Still. [01:02:37] Speaker A: Well, here's the thing. [01:02:38] Speaker B: I just love that love Post Malone. [01:02:40] Speaker A: Love that song into the Spider versus no Spider Man 2. Let's. You know, let's be honest, Sam. Song that gets always pops up in. [01:02:50] Speaker C: Your head, like recently or like in the history of earworms. [01:02:56] Speaker A: Well, how. Hey man. Questions are up to your interpretation. [01:03:00] Speaker C: Wow. Wow. I mean, so deep. It's extremely deep. Daft Punk one more time. Just like. Like the first like, 15 seconds, like, will just randomly, like, pop up in my head all the damn time. [01:03:19] Speaker D: The ear Break My Stride by Matthew Wilder. [01:03:22] Speaker A: I don't know that song. [01:03:24] Speaker C: Yes, you do. [01:03:25] Speaker A: I do? [01:03:27] Speaker C: Yeah, you do. [01:03:29] Speaker A: What's the lyrics? [01:03:30] Speaker C: You might not know it by name and artist, but if you heard the song, you'd be like, oh, yeah, I know this song. [01:03:34] Speaker D: Okay, yeah, I'll put it in chat. [01:03:36] Speaker A: Yeah, put in the chat. We'll do a live reaction while I tell you mine. Mine is the theme song for the little Romeo Show. A. Oh, watch it, Ro. It's time for the Romeo show that. I think about that song once a month. [01:03:53] Speaker D: It's not really an ear if it's. [01:03:55] Speaker A: Just once a month, John. It's been once a month for how however long? When? Since that show aired. That's what I'm saying. [01:04:05] Speaker D: I like to break my stride every day. [01:04:07] Speaker A: All right, question number five. What's your Go to karaoke song? Know if you're white? Karaoke. Wow. [01:04:18] Speaker B: As someone who's performed karaoke in Japan. Okay. I'm pretty qualified to answer this. Okay. [01:04:28] Speaker A: I'm wa. Well, I was waiting for you to answer. [01:04:31] Speaker B: I was waiting for, like, you know, back and forth. You know, how we had. [01:04:35] Speaker A: We had all yielded our time, and you decided not to, you know, use it. [01:04:41] Speaker B: Yeah. So I'm a. I'm a big Abba, Stan, when it comes to karaoke. It gets the people going. Whatever song you want personally, for me, it's Waterloo. Oh, you could go. You could go with, you know, obviously, Dancing Queen's always a hit with the people. And Joe, I need to Chance On Me. For me, it's. For me, it's Waterloo. [01:05:04] Speaker A: Okay. [01:05:04] Speaker B: There's a gun to my head on the cruise. Cruise ship. Yeah. And they're like, you have to sing in the karaoke section tonight at 10:30. [01:05:11] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:05:12] Speaker B: In the room. What song are you gonna do? I'm gonna. [01:05:15] Speaker A: I'm gonna throw out Waterloo because I. I. Because, like, you kept naming ABBA songs. I'm like, all right, is it Waterloo or is it the other ones? Because I needed to know if I needed to smoke on the water. You. [01:05:26] Speaker B: See, he's always got this. He has boys. He's got the trigger finger ready for him. [01:05:33] Speaker C: Robin. Dancing on my own. [01:05:35] Speaker B: That's a great. [01:05:36] Speaker D: That's a great song. [01:05:37] Speaker A: That's a great one. [01:05:38] Speaker B: I imagine you also. I'm now imagining the music video, but it's you dancing around this player instead of her. I'm really enjoying imagining this. Maybe I'll bring Out some AI, you know, take and Robin, mix them together. [01:05:57] Speaker A: Killing the rainforest just so we can see this. [01:06:00] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:06:03] Speaker A: John, if you say tequila brother. [01:06:06] Speaker D: No, I think karaoke, kind of like a best band speech, is more about the audience than the person you should be playing to the room. Yes, yes. So with that, I'm gonna go with Bunny Girl by Akasaki, which is a great J pop band. I've also performed karaoke in the streets of Osaka. So, yeah, Joe and I are a little bit of cultured here. So. Yeah, so that's. That's my song. I think everybody knows it. If you don't know it, get on your nearest listening platform and it's great. [01:06:40] Speaker A: Much like John, I'm very dependent. What is the crowd feeling? If the crowd. It wants to sing along, I will do. Since you've been gone by Kelly Clarkson, because everyone wants to sing that. When that gets played, if people are being respectful, they're letting everyone else do, you know, do their own thing. I'm doing. Saying ain't so by Weezer. [01:07:06] Speaker B: Okay, I do just have a quick point of order if you want to be accurate here. If there is karaoke that involves Kelly Clarkson, according to her TV show and her hit series on YouTube, it's actually called Kellyoke. She has, like, 200 songs that she has covered on her TV show. [01:07:25] Speaker A: That's her TV show. We're talking. [01:07:27] Speaker B: But I'm just saying, if you sing Kelly Clarkson since you've been gone at karaoke, you're actually performing karaoke. [01:07:32] Speaker A: No, actually, I'm not. Actually, I'm not. Because it would. I would have to be doing a. The COVID version of her song that she's covering, because that would be Kelly O. [01:07:42] Speaker B: It's covered. It's covered. It's a. Oh, it's a karaoke is a wide. A wide umbrella. [01:07:48] Speaker A: I don't. I'm disagreeing with you. [01:07:50] Speaker B: Related to all activities. Kelly Clarkson related and karaoke related. [01:07:55] Speaker A: All right, episode question six. As a unit, come up with the worst three band lineup we can collectively think of. [01:08:07] Speaker C: Like, we're going to festival and, like. Or we're going to show and, like. [01:08:10] Speaker A: We'Re going to a show and, like, it's like, we see Cardier west, the corpse of Michael Jackson, and then Tupac hologram. [01:08:26] Speaker D: I'd be down to see a hologram of the corpse of Michael Jackson. That'd be. [01:08:30] Speaker A: No, it's just the corpse of Michael Jackson. It's not a hologram of the corpse. It's just. [01:08:35] Speaker D: Well, you know, I'm going to Use a phrase from this podcast. The questions up to your interpretation. [01:08:40] Speaker A: Sure. [01:08:41] Speaker D: So my interpretation is of a corpse and a hologram. I think based on the answers we gave two friends, as Roth as has to be headlining. [01:08:52] Speaker C: Has to be headlining. [01:08:53] Speaker A: This obviously, is. [01:08:57] Speaker B: Is Soldier Boy making the cut? [01:08:59] Speaker A: No. Obviously, no. [01:09:01] Speaker C: Because, Joe, if you remember my answer, I appreciate a decent amount of Soldier Boy's catalog, as most people should. It's just that one song. Just enough. [01:09:11] Speaker B: But he has to perform it. [01:09:13] Speaker A: No, he does. Yeah. [01:09:15] Speaker C: We're asking for, like, worst, like, set. [01:09:18] Speaker A: I want, like. Yeah, you're. We're getting a. Like, they're giving us 45 minutes of their set. And, like, it's just, like. It's just, like, a band that, like. [01:09:28] Speaker B: It'S got to be the Tequila people. And Perez gets up there on stage. [01:09:31] Speaker A: It has to. So champs Asher Roth. And I was thinking, no, let's get, like, a real guy. But he's got to play, like, his bottom 50 tracks. Like Justin Timberlake only playing B sides. [01:09:48] Speaker B: What about. What if Beyonce does just, like, the National Anthem, but it's irreplaceable, and Perez. [01:09:54] Speaker C: Has to get up on stage and sing the encore. [01:09:57] Speaker B: Yes, I like that. [01:10:00] Speaker A: I just need to confirm what do we. [01:10:02] Speaker B: Okay, But. Okay, here's what it is. [01:10:04] Speaker A: So headliner Asharoth, obviously, Right. He's playing I Love College three times. [01:10:10] Speaker B: Right. What about that fourth girl from Destiny's Child originally that got kicked out? [01:10:17] Speaker A: The one that hit a person with their car? [01:10:20] Speaker B: Yeah, she probably. I probably don't have many bangers that we would be aware of so she could make the cut. [01:10:26] Speaker A: No, I. Like, we need to be able to. [01:10:28] Speaker B: Name songs we can't name more than Tequila. [01:10:33] Speaker A: What do you mean? John gave us, like, five. [01:10:35] Speaker B: He gave, like, tequila 2003. What do you mean? [01:10:40] Speaker D: Night Owl Rock and roll legend. Too much tequila. I'm sped up. [01:10:47] Speaker A: Tequila. I can't say Tequila's been up. [01:10:51] Speaker D: All right, fine. Well, if it's not. We can't say that, then we can't heal a slow down either. [01:10:56] Speaker A: Yeah, obviously. [01:10:59] Speaker C: We can have one or the other, but not both. [01:11:01] Speaker A: Yeah, right. John. John, you can't be like, oh, well, if you say you can't gotcha me with like, oh, you can't do speed up. What that mean? I can't do slow down? Obviously. Yeah, it's actually a pretty. [01:11:11] Speaker B: That's a consistent stance. [01:11:12] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:11:13] Speaker D: Yeah, I just wanted to submit it for the record. [01:11:15] Speaker C: I'm gonna throw one out there. This is another bizarre choice by the Columbia Activities Committee that they Booked for a spring concert as a. As a headliner. That would be McLemore. That is a set that I've sat through. [01:11:29] Speaker A: No, we were. [01:11:31] Speaker C: It wasn't just racist scale, but my God, that was not a great spring afternoon in 2013. [01:11:37] Speaker A: Unfortunately, Macklemore is certified good people, so we can't. We can't be like, I don't want. [01:11:44] Speaker D: To hear his songs. [01:11:45] Speaker A: I also don't want to hear his songs. All right, well, you don't want to hear Thrift Shop. [01:11:51] Speaker C: I'm going to be. [01:11:53] Speaker A: I'm going to be honest. If you put a gun to my head and you're like, name another Macklemore song. I couldn't do it. [01:11:59] Speaker B: It's the one that he was gay in third grade. [01:12:01] Speaker A: He was what? [01:12:04] Speaker B: That's one of his other big songs. Is that in third grade he thought he was gay? [01:12:08] Speaker A: I don't. Dude. I don't. I'm not a big on the Seattle music scene. [01:12:12] Speaker C: It's the song that they make fun of in Pop Star with the gay rights. [01:12:18] Speaker A: Okay. Okay. I've never heard it, but I now understand the tone the song is going. If you. [01:12:23] Speaker C: If you listen to it and then watch the Connor For Real Pink duet, you'll understand it a lot more. Yeah. [01:12:29] Speaker A: What about Connor for Real? Is he again? [01:12:31] Speaker C: No. I would absolutely see a Connor FRIEL Headlining show. 100%. [01:12:38] Speaker A: So we got the Azeroth headliner, Macklemore, who's opening champs. They're just doing Tequila. [01:12:50] Speaker C: That has my vote. [01:12:51] Speaker A: All right. Yeah. [01:12:52] Speaker B: Well, Champs and John Perez. [01:12:54] Speaker A: Champs and John Perez. Right, right, right, right. All right, last question. Kind of similar to Joe's. What band, Front Man Slash or musician could you replace? Like you are getting slotted in They've Died. You are now lead singer of whatever band and you like it. Doesn't you feel like confidently nothing's being changed musically? [01:13:23] Speaker D: Feel like I think I would. Yeah. I would go with nana who sings 99L Balloons. [01:13:29] Speaker A: You can see. All right. Okay. [01:13:33] Speaker B: No one would know. [01:13:34] Speaker D: You asked the question. [01:13:35] Speaker A: I mean, I did. I'm. [01:13:37] Speaker D: I'm thinking, what band could you replace? I could replace Nana from 99 Buffalo Sing the. [01:13:43] Speaker A: I have. My bad. Yeah. I have my band. Oh, okay. It's Cake. I can be the lead singer of Cake easily. It's the easiest job ever. Have you ever been to a Cake show? [01:13:53] Speaker C: You could pull that off. [01:13:55] Speaker A: Right? That's what I'm saying. [01:13:56] Speaker C: But I've heard enough of the songs. Hey, vocal, tonally, I think you can pull it off. [01:14:02] Speaker A: Sam, do you want to know what it's like going to a cake show, go on YouTube. Go to YouTube, type in ambient crowd noises, and then put on a cake album. Because they sound exactly like how they sound on the record. It is. They are one of the worst live bands I've ever seen. [01:14:23] Speaker C: Not as a rock level, apparently. [01:14:25] Speaker A: No, no, no. But, like, I could. But it's like. It's more like I could have just stayed home and listened to the album if I wanted to hear it, how it sounds on the album. They're singing very. He's very monotonic. Very. He's not really rapping or singing. He's just like, I want a girl with what a nice invitation or whatever. He's saying, John who? Or Joe. God, kill me in Minecraft. Joe, who are you replacing? [01:14:55] Speaker B: This is so. This is tough because I've never thought of myself in a musician sense, you know, like, what I could. What world I could be in. [01:15:06] Speaker A: All right, just say Jenny from Blackpink and let's move on. [01:15:10] Speaker B: Okay. But unironically, if this is. If this was high school and, like, my other answer for, like, song, if I had to go perform if my life depended on it, would have been Fergalicious with Fergie. So maybe I've replaced Fergie in the Black Eyed Peas because I knew, like, every Fergie and Black Eyed Peas song back in middle school and high school, so I am Fergalicious. [01:15:31] Speaker A: All right, Sam, who are you replacing? [01:15:34] Speaker B: My best friend, Will. I am. [01:15:36] Speaker C: I hate. I hate to be the guy always asking clarifying questions. [01:15:39] Speaker A: I mean, you can go. [01:15:41] Speaker C: When you say I'm replacing the front man, that includes, like, if they play instruments or, like, just the singing port portion. [01:15:47] Speaker A: Just the singing. I. In my mind, it's the singing portion. They can get just another guy to. [01:15:53] Speaker C: Play guitar or, you know, so they can find a new piano person. I will be Stevie Wonder. [01:16:03] Speaker A: Oh, that's like an actual guy who's singing. [01:16:08] Speaker B: That's a guy. Wait, how about Stevie Wonder? [01:16:12] Speaker C: I know all the songs, though. I like. It wouldn't be, like, an incredible experience for you, the viewer at home, but I would. [01:16:19] Speaker D: I would know question for question. For tidings, would you wear sunglasses and dreads? [01:16:27] Speaker C: I would wear the sunglasses. Not. Not the dreads. I would keep my normal haircut. [01:16:33] Speaker D: I just want to question the commitment. [01:16:34] Speaker B: Here, because you are replacing him as the frontman, right? Stevie Wonder. [01:16:42] Speaker A: I'm not going to see Stevie Wonder. And, like, if he came out with a shaved head. [01:16:48] Speaker C: Oh, like, so and so was replaced by the end. [01:16:51] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:16:52] Speaker C: Like, you show up to Stevie Wonder concert, like, oh, sorry, it's Sam Tidings. [01:16:54] Speaker D: Like, yeah, but. Yeah. [01:16:57] Speaker A: No, but here's the thing, Johnny. [01:16:58] Speaker D: Play. I went to a play and saw an understudy for Wicked, and she dressed up like the Wicked Witch of the West. [01:17:04] Speaker B: She didn't. She wasn't. Not green. [01:17:06] Speaker A: Stevie Wonder's not a character. That's a guy. [01:17:09] Speaker C: Right. He's not green. You just can't see him. [01:17:13] Speaker D: Well, you said. You said, Ted, that this is all up for interpretation. [01:17:18] Speaker A: Yeah, and you're Wonder and you're making a bad faith argument. [01:17:23] Speaker B: You're replacing Stevie Wonder in the Stevie Wonder band. [01:17:27] Speaker C: John, if you show up to a Stevie Wonder show and it's me and sunglasses, but no dreads, you'd be like, it was okay, but I just wish I. I don't. [01:17:37] Speaker B: I don't respect his commitment, you know? [01:17:39] Speaker C: Yeah, right. [01:17:40] Speaker A: But so. So John, if you went to go see Stevie. [01:17:44] Speaker C: But I need the hairpiece to make it work. [01:17:47] Speaker D: Sam, you just don't. You know what this is? This is what happens with you Ivy League guys. You don't. [01:17:54] Speaker A: Let me ask. Hold on, John, let me ask you a quick question. [01:17:57] Speaker D: Go out on a Saturday, they get a sitter. They drop dress up. They have dinner beforehand. This is the best part of their weekend. And then just to know that the. The understudy half asses, it. [01:18:08] Speaker A: It's like, John, you go see Stevie Wonder and his head shaved, you going home mad? [01:18:15] Speaker D: Well, no, because it's still Stevie Wonder. [01:18:17] Speaker A: Okay, so clearly the dreads are adding things. No, I'm. [01:18:22] Speaker B: I'm adding things. [01:18:23] Speaker D: You're making this harder than it needs to be. [01:18:27] Speaker B: All we want is tidings to wear Stevie Wonders dreads while he. He sings his songs. [01:18:35] Speaker C: That would put me in more trouble than just simply covering. [01:18:39] Speaker A: I think we're out here. I think John's out here trying to make bad faith arguments. Right? [01:18:45] Speaker D: I don't see it that way. [01:18:49] Speaker A: John came into. John came into this episode hot. He'd stayed hot all the way through. I don't know what's going on. I know Mets camp open and, like, Lindo's back hurts, and John's like, all right, I gotta be heated the rest of the week. [01:19:03] Speaker D: Lindor is fine. We'll be all right. [01:19:07] Speaker A: Yeah. All right. It's the Mets. What are you saying? All right, I am calculating the scores here. Unfortunately for Jon, the Ivy League man has done it. Sam is the winner of this episode. [01:19:24] Speaker C: Wow. This is truly one of the crowning achievements of My weekend. [01:19:29] Speaker A: Yes. [01:19:31] Speaker B: Bro, when you said you had Snoop Dogg at your spring concert, I never felt poorer in my life. You know what I mean? [01:19:37] Speaker C: We did. We had. So we had. We had. First freshman year, it was Ghostface Killer. Sophomore year with Snoop Dogg. Junior year, I straight up do not remember. And then senior year was Macklemore. [01:19:50] Speaker B: I don't think any of us. We ever had anyone over 10,000 followers. [01:19:55] Speaker A: Like, I don't. I. [01:19:58] Speaker B: You know, we had a comedian once. We had. We had. What's his face. To Cut it out. Guy from. From Full House. [01:20:04] Speaker A: Cut it out. Yeah. [01:20:07] Speaker B: Dave Coulier came to our school for a spring. Spring concert one year as a. As a comedian. [01:20:13] Speaker A: I did not do. I did not participate in. [01:20:19] Speaker B: Oh, why? Because your shoes in college? [01:20:22] Speaker A: No, I just. Now, I wasn't against. What do you mean, against? I wasn't against that. My shoes weren't against anything. What are you talking about? [01:20:30] Speaker B: Oh, I didn't do these things. [01:20:32] Speaker A: I was just, like, having fun. Like, having sex in college. I didn't need to go to shows. Wow. All right. [01:20:46] Speaker B: You have to suck on the water yourself for that guy. [01:20:51] Speaker A: I'm sorry. I'm cool. Apologies for being so cool. [01:20:57] Speaker B: Crazy, but we already have established Lord Perez is the one that talks to women on this show. [01:21:04] Speaker C: We can't have you dropping to women. [01:21:08] Speaker A: Do you want his high school. [01:21:09] Speaker B: His whole high school memories are about talking to, talking to other girls. [01:21:13] Speaker A: Do you want to know? [01:21:15] Speaker D: I love women. My wife. My wife's a woman. [01:21:18] Speaker A: That's crazy. [01:21:19] Speaker D: My mother's a woman. Yeah. [01:21:20] Speaker A: Wow. Yeah. My sister's a woman. [01:21:23] Speaker C: We're learning a lot today. [01:21:24] Speaker A: I want to say, if you want to know how little I, like, participated in, like, school activities in high school and college. In college, people would just put my name sound in clubs just to fill out name, like. Like, just to get approved. Like, I have to acquire. Like, I was just like, yeah, whatever. Go ahead. I don't care. Until one day. [01:21:45] Speaker B: You were too busy, obviously. [01:21:46] Speaker A: No, I mean, like, I was. I was preoccupied, but I was just like, I just didn't want to do anything that wasn't, like, things I wanted to do, so. And also, like, I don't think my school did. It was a film school, so they did, like, film stuff and not, like, concert stuff. [01:22:03] Speaker B: Oh, they had, like, some, like, mise en scene conversation. [01:22:06] Speaker A: Like, we did, like. Yeah, we did. They did. Well, so they do have, like, a theater that, like, is that houses, you know, movies for Tribeca. Like, they're like. They are, like, ingrained in the you know, quote with the scene or whatever. [01:22:24] Speaker B: Well, Snoop Dogg wasn't there so no. [01:22:28] Speaker A: Because my school is like fucking cheap and like the head of my department got fired because he was drunk all the time. Nice dude sucked. Anyways, that's it for this episode of the Yapoff podcast. Sam, congratulations. You will write a question for the episode after the pre2010 Disney draft. I will give you the topic at a later date. I have many episodes. I have many episodes are written. Many questions are written. They're beautiful questions but they are written. But it will be out. We will do it after the draft like usual. Draft is six rounds. We pick six movies. Thank you for listening. Thank you for watching. Do whatever it is to do to help us get more viewers. [01:23:20] Speaker B: Get in touch with Scott Afros and Beyonce. [01:23:22] Speaker A: Yes, if you that she's not Beyonce is not on the Yapaholics Delight. She is will never be on the Yapaholics Delight unless she's like Friendship's one of the best movies I've ever watched which then cuz friendship is the unanimous officially and I think I speak for all of us. Sam can attest friendship most anticipate yap offs most anticipated movie of 2025 and when it comes out will be. [01:23:46] Speaker C: Well, we'll have a live reaction. [01:23:48] Speaker A: Live reaction. Yes. Sam and I, we will all be walking out of the Lincoln Center Theater because they're playing it in IMAX 3D. All four of us will be there in March or May. It comes out in May to watch because it will be Yapoff's 2025 best movie of the year. I don't think there'll be any other movies that can even conceivably come close but pass this along to friends family, force people to watch it at gunpoint in Minecraft rate review. Do all those very nice things for us. We really appreciate it. The last piece of media I watched was layer cake because I'm a little bit of a cinephile. See you next time.
