2:55

2:56
SPEAKER_00: Uh I have a picture of the mural with all the Houston legends from when I went down there, he's on there and all that stuff.
3:02
SPEAKER_00: So Jermaine can vouch for this if he's speaking of Jermaine, real quick.
3:06
SPEAKER_00: Um I just wanted to give a shout out to you, bro, because uh I know you're you're a little nervous.
3:15
SPEAKER_00: He's uh he's having some surgery tomorrow.
3:17
SPEAKER_00: Oh shit.
3:18
SPEAKER_00: Uh I'm not gonna put his business out there like that, but like, you know, he's he's had to go on a seven-day liquid diet, and you know, when you're used to eating what you want, that's not easy.
3:30
SPEAKER_00: So but uh you had a proud moment this week, huh?
3:35
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, man.
3:36
SPEAKER_01: We did uh talk to us about it.
3:39
SPEAKER_01: We did end of season concert for a marching band, which they hold it in the gym.
3:43
SPEAKER_01: And I will tell you to have that many musicians on uh instruments and drums is extremely loud in a gymnasium, a high school gymnasium.
3:52
SPEAKER_00: The acoustics had to be insane.
3:54
SPEAKER_01: It was great.
3:54
SPEAKER_01: They did the same last year for the end of season last year, but man, it's so much fun, and they what they do is they go through all the pregame stuff and then halftime routine, and then they do all the stuff while they're in the stands.
4:10
SPEAKER_01: So what I showed you with the kids dancing and having fun, and that's what they do in the stands during the game when they're not actually playing something during the game.
4:17
SPEAKER_00: They're having fun, yeah.
4:19
SPEAKER_01: And you can hear my daughter's loud mouth over drumline and instruments, and it's like holy balls.
4:24
SPEAKER_00: Oh, she she is her father's daughter, right?
4:27
SPEAKER_00: So your voice carries her voice carries.
4:30
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's I mean, I I just I I laughed at it because I was like, that's that's mine, and that's mine having an extreme amount of fun.
4:38
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, for sure.
4:39
SPEAKER_00: With her friends, but yeah, that that's awesome, man.
4:42
SPEAKER_00: Your kids' band, I went to that uh showcase, and man, so good.
4:49
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so good.
4:50
SPEAKER_00: So so proud of uh Layla and Maddie.
4:55
SPEAKER_00: Um, because even though she doesn't play an entry uh an instrument, I would probably almost rather try to play an instrument than do the shit that she does.
5:04
SPEAKER_00: Uh I am not that coordinated.
5:06
SPEAKER_00: Uh so yeah.
5:07
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, she does a great job.
5:08
SPEAKER_01: Mama got a bunch of uh video of her because she was sitting basically right in front of mama and I was down a couple seats because we stuck Bubba in the middle.
5:16
SPEAKER_01: Um so that's what's kind of what we do when we do these things.
5:20
SPEAKER_01: Like she'll focus on on Madison and I'll I'll focus on Layla, and then we're kind of like sharing, you know, pictures and videos and stuff, and then I I had a uh I had a dad moment at the show.
5:32
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you texted me about it.
5:33
SPEAKER_01: Where I was actually, you know, trying to hold back tears in front of people, and then in the evening that night, while they were out do or the next night, whatever it was, they they were all gone.
5:43
SPEAKER_01: It was just me at home.
5:45
SPEAKER_01: And I was putting together a uh a TikTok for the end of that, and that was when you texted.
5:54
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, man.
5:54
SPEAKER_00: I had seen that I've seen that post.
5:57
SPEAKER_00: Well, and then here I am.
5:59
SPEAKER_00: I I'm I was thinking something completely different because I had been emotional this week, but mine was something that started with a D, and that's called depression.
6:08
SPEAKER_00: Depression, yeah.
6:09
SPEAKER_00: Uh but yours was for a totally different reason.
6:11
SPEAKER_00: And as soon as you sent me that, I was like, oh boy, way to kill the mood, ain't it?
6:14
SPEAKER_00: No, right?
6:16
SPEAKER_00: Uh, but no, that was that those are good moments.
6:19
SPEAKER_00: It it was like that moment I talked about uh a couple weeks ago, if you remember when Ty had gave that money to that kid at school.
6:25
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's a proud moment.
6:26
SPEAKER_00: That fucked me up.
6:27
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, okay, I'm doing a good job, and and and you should you should feel the same.
6:31
SPEAKER_00: But uh yeah, man, that that video is great because it you know, I don't think people realize, but sports and like band and like those types of things, man, it's a very like structured.
6:46
SPEAKER_00: So when you get a chance to just let loose, you know what I mean?
6:49
SPEAKER_00: Like that's you know, it's it's like you and when you play sports, and obviously you know this because you play, like you hold your composure, and then at the end of the game, when you win a big game, you just lose.
6:59
SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, it all comes out, man.
7:01
SPEAKER_00: And you just it's one big ball of fucking emotion.
7:04
SPEAKER_00: I that's one of the things that uh I miss about competing.
7:09
SPEAKER_00: Right.
7:09
SPEAKER_00: You know, I I mean I did play individual sports as far as wrestling and shit, but like there was something about playing on a team that just you know, I know it sounds corny and cliche, but no, because you have teammates and then you you grow that relationship and friendships with those people sometimes.
7:24
SPEAKER_00: Well, and again, as I've beaten to the ground, like I didn't have a big support system, so playing sports and like actually feeling like people had your back, man.
7:33
SPEAKER_00: That was that was huge.
7:34
SPEAKER_01: So that's how I look at uh that's how I kind of look at marching band.
7:38
SPEAKER_01: I mean they're a team.
7:39
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, oh yeah, without I mean, and that's I mean, fuck, you almost gotta play more unison, like you almost got to be more in unison than that than anything else.
7:46
SPEAKER_00: So yeah, for sure.
7:47
SPEAKER_00: You gotta be in time and you have to re you have to absolutely rely on the person next to you like to make sure they're doing their job.
7:54
SPEAKER_01: What I what I thought was really, really funny in the one video I sent you when they were doing the they were singing.
8:00
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
8:01
SPEAKER_01: And did you notice how they all broke off out of their block and they all went to like the clarinets were all with the clarinets, the trumpets were all with the trumpets.
8:09
SPEAKER_00: It was a gang war.
8:10
SPEAKER_01: It literally was like, Yeah, it's a musical gang war.
8:13
SPEAKER_01: It's a musical gang war.
8:15
SPEAKER_00: We come together for the city, but we gotta go back to our blocks.
8:17
SPEAKER_00: Like, come on, we're back.
8:18
SPEAKER_00: We gotta go back and handle it.
8:20
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no, yeah, that's I mean it makes sense.
8:22
SPEAKER_00: Percussion would stay with percussion, like I mean that you know and and the boyfriend is uh percussionist, so well, it's it's almost like one of the only places that segregation is still allowed.
8:31
SPEAKER_00: Right.
8:32
SPEAKER_00: And it's just because of instrument, yeah, not because of not because of color or gender or anything like that, but yeah, no, it's uh yeah, that's that's good.
8:40
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I know I know and and if you unless you're a parent, you're not gonna get this.
8:46
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but it but it's uh it it's a I don't want to say double-edged sword, but it's uh kind of i i it it it's uh it's a 180 because you're like fuck man, that's another year gone, but at the same time you're like, all right, I don't have to go out on Friday night.
9:00
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't have to and and again as kids you're gonna think we don't want to do it.
9:03
SPEAKER_00: It's not that, but like you guys, you know, you don't realize like we're doing stuff for you guys during the day, we're ready to work, like you know, we get it gets tiring to go through that stuff, like you know, and and and again, not saying we don't appreciate or whatever, but it's it's nice to have that little break.
9:18
SPEAKER_01: Well, next year's the last year that uh we're gonna miss any games.
9:22
SPEAKER_01: Uh we're we're not gonna do uh away games next year either.
9:27
SPEAKER_01: But senior year.
9:28
SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah, you gotta go to everything.
9:29
SPEAKER_00: We're going to every motherfucking game.
9:32
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
9:32
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I the whole entire time Sonny was in stuff, like she did tennis for one year.
9:38
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
9:38
SPEAKER_00: I only missed the away matches for that, but that was because Ty was still little.
9:46
SPEAKER_00: So Rihanna would go to those.
9:47
SPEAKER_00: But anything that was close or like home, dude, we weren't we were at all of it.
9:51
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we I mean the you gotta figure our last home or our last home.
9:55
SPEAKER_01: Well, our last home game was last week.
9:58
SPEAKER_01: We didn't go to that because of the weather.
9:59
SPEAKER_01: It was so bad, the rain was so bad.
10:01
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was cold, rainy, wet, garbage.
10:03
SPEAKER_01: They didn't even play.
10:04
SPEAKER_01: Like they didn't do anything halftime-wise, they did pregame and that was it.
10:08
SPEAKER_01: They actually sent the kids home early.
10:10
SPEAKER_01: We had to go pick them up at like nine.
10:11
SPEAKER_01: Game was still going on.
10:12
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
10:13
SPEAKER_01: And then this Friday that just happened, they were away, but they were up in Chagrin Falls.
10:18
SPEAKER_01: That's like an hour away.
10:19
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
10:20
SPEAKER_01: And I'm like, no.
10:21
SPEAKER_01: No.
10:22
SPEAKER_00: That's an odd team to play that late in the season.
10:25
SPEAKER_01: It's Ken, was it Kenston?
10:26
SPEAKER_01: It's all, but it's all that division that they're in, that suburban league.
10:29
SPEAKER_01: It's all weird.
10:30
SPEAKER_01: They're all over the place, man.
10:32
SPEAKER_00: That's I never understood how whatever.
10:34
SPEAKER_01: That's none of my business.
10:35
SPEAKER_01: Hopefully, we get to play you guys next year.
10:37
SPEAKER_01: Hopefully.
10:39
SPEAKER_01: Uh been two years.
10:40
SPEAKER_01: We haven't played you guys yet.
10:42
SPEAKER_00: I'll tell you what, man.
10:43
SPEAKER_00: That game we went to, it was 49-0 at halftime.
10:45
SPEAKER_00: I was like, yo, these dudes are and like, and and I'm not, they were playing Kyogre Falls, and I'm not taking nothing away from Cyaco Falls, but like, bro, Norton just looked effortless.
10:56
SPEAKER_00: Dominant.
10:56
SPEAKER_00: Dude, it just it didn't.
10:59
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
11:01
SPEAKER_00: I can tell you this though.
11:02
SPEAKER_00: I wish I could go back because I watched these kids play and I'm like, dude, I would run over every like I would knock these.
11:09
SPEAKER_00: Like, I wasn't even close to remotely the best player on our high school team.
11:14
SPEAKER_00: I would have rocked every single one of these motherfuckers.
11:18
SPEAKER_01: Well, speaking of high school football, I sent you that uh that picture.
11:22
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, man, our alma mater was see uh city champs again again.
11:25
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, bro, y'all couldn't do that shit when I played.
11:28
SPEAKER_00: Like but I mean, I like I said, first of all, there was eight schools when we were there.
11:34
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
11:35
SPEAKER_00: And you know, between the top four or five, dude, it was comp every year.
11:39
SPEAKER_00: You had Bookdown, Garfield, Firestone, Ellot, East.
11:43
SPEAKER_00: Typically, like Central and North Kenmore.
11:47
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I don't want to say that because everybody had decent seasons from time to time, but like typically those were the teams.
11:53
SPEAKER_00: Like, poor Central, dude.
11:54
SPEAKER_00: Everybody just beat the shit out of Central Howard.
11:57
SPEAKER_00: Um Except for in basketball.
11:59
SPEAKER_00: When it came to basketball, fuck it, basketball.
12:02
SPEAKER_00: It was Central and Bookdown.
12:04
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but uh fucking yeah.
12:09
SPEAKER_00: I just I yeah, we've talked about it before, but like it I'm I'm I'm happy for him.
12:16
SPEAKER_00: I I would actually like to go back and and like coach if I had the time.
12:20
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like obviously not East.
12:22
SPEAKER_00: It would probably have to be like Norton or something like that.
12:24
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's where I live.
12:25
SPEAKER_00: But I would like to coach because I mean I'm pretty knowledgeable in football.
12:30
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you are but I don't know.
12:33
SPEAKER_00: Um yeah, that would be cool to play you guys.
12:35
SPEAKER_00: I would definitely make it a point to to go to that game.
12:39
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, for sure.
12:40
SPEAKER_01: Well, I mean, next year he's gonna be in marching band.
12:43
SPEAKER_01: Well, hopefully.
12:45
SPEAKER_00: As he changed his mind.
12:46
SPEAKER_00: No, he he's on he wants to, but yeah, we'll see, man.
12:51
SPEAKER_00: I I I don't we'll see.
12:53
SPEAKER_01: It's not for the faint of heart.
12:54
SPEAKER_00: I can tell you this, I can tell you this.
12:56
SPEAKER_00: If his buddy Cooper does, he'll do it.
12:57
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, if it's it's not for the faint of heart, I'm gonna tell you right now.
13:01
SPEAKER_00: Who are you telling?
13:02
SPEAKER_00: I did I decided to play football instead of go play bands, so that'll tell you how much harder I think that shit is.
13:08
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
13:09
SPEAKER_00: Um, but yeah.
13:10
SPEAKER_00: Um I mean what I mean, what else can we talk?
13:15
SPEAKER_00: We got um we got some some shit in the works for Bearded and Crunchy.
13:21
SPEAKER_00: Um we got some ideas.
13:23
SPEAKER_00: Um we've got we talked a little bit about you'll hear in another episode that isn't out yet, but um we we got a new segment coming.
13:33
SPEAKER_00: It's gonna be fun.
13:34
SPEAKER_00: Or did we talk about that on last week's bull session?
13:36
SPEAKER_00: I don't remember.
13:37
SPEAKER_01: The album autopsies that we're gonna be doing this season?
13:40
SPEAKER_00: Kind of.
13:41
SPEAKER_01: Um a little bit.
13:43
SPEAKER_01: Uh that's that's next week that we're recording.
13:45
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we're gonna record that, but that's coming.
13:48
SPEAKER_00: Um, we're both really excited about that.
13:50
SPEAKER_00: I can't wait to be fun.
13:51
SPEAKER_00: And you know, there's a lot of like the album that we chose is probably not even in the top 100 best albums of all time.
13:59
SPEAKER_00: Now, for us, it's probably in like our top 10, 20.
14:02
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
14:03
SPEAKER_00: Um, but I still feel as I think about it, every time I've listened to it, because you have yet to revisit it.
14:10
SPEAKER_00: You you tell me that.
14:11
SPEAKER_00: I've actually listened to it three or four times through.
14:13
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
14:14
SPEAKER_00: Uh, and I absolutely forgot how amazing of an album.
14:18
SPEAKER_00: I mean, like, I knew it, but like when you go back and listen start to finish, because you know how we are, like typically, like, there are certain albums we like every song, but most albums there's seven, eight tracks that we but man, I listened to I was like, holy fuck, like this was so good.
14:32
SPEAKER_00: And I think it was perfect because the to me that's their that was their debut as far as like mainstream, but I also think that was the absolute best example of their catalog of a complete heavy hip-hop mix.
14:52
SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
14:52
SPEAKER_00: Because once you get into Meteora, well, obviously, reanimation was more hip-hop heavy, and then you get into Meteora and Minutes to Midnight, and the heavy stuff was there, but they they started to rely on some of their softer songs, which I enjoy from the so um, yeah, it's uh I'm looking forward to it.
15:14
SPEAKER_00: Now, and like I said, after I'm like, I I truly think no matter if we would have done my favorite album in the diary, the black album, I won't say the other ones that we're talking about next, but I think doing this one, I don't think we could have picked a better album to start on because of the hip-hop, the heavier mix, and it's both one of our favorite albums.
15:38
SPEAKER_00: I just think it it makes sense.
15:40
SPEAKER_00: That was your call, too.
15:41
SPEAKER_00: That was the I I will admit, I actually called that.
15:43
SPEAKER_00: We couldn't decide what to come up, and I had remembered that all these TikToks had been coming up about um Lincoln Park for some reason.
15:51
SPEAKER_00: Because you know how algorithms work.
15:52
SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
15:53
SPEAKER_00: And I was like, man, why don't we just fucking do hybrid theory?
15:56
SPEAKER_00: Yes, and I said I said, and like we were literally in the middle of conversating on what album to choose when it pops.
16:04
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, here.
16:05
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and I was like, what about hybrid theory?
16:07
SPEAKER_00: And you were like, Yes, yeah, yeah, that's it.
16:10
SPEAKER_00: That that's that's gonna be it.
16:12
SPEAKER_00: So yeah, we got that coming.
16:14
SPEAKER_01: Um what we're recording today for ep it'll be episode three, season two.
16:23
SPEAKER_01: It that one's gonna be it's a sequel of sorts.
16:26
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we won't go, I won't, I won't delve into too much, but this was I I've been looking forward to coming back to to to this one.
16:34
SPEAKER_00: So that this should be fun.
16:36
SPEAKER_00: And then the next one, uh, that'll be fun to watch on uh I know, right?
16:41
SPEAKER_00: I'm batting invisible um it's like Tommy Boy, bees!
16:45
SPEAKER_01: BAES!
16:47
SPEAKER_00: Um, but yeah, that'll be and then the one after that that is a subject we have yet to, I don't even think, discuss anything about.
