Network. Hello, and welcome to a special Eighties music edition of bfytw That's
0:44
right, the nineteen eighties, the decade of big hair, Reaganomics, cocaine
0:49
and excess and sometimes all at the same time. Yeah, what's changed?
0:56
There was a lot of great music in the eighties, and we wanted to
0:59
explore that. Uh and who better to explore it with than Lauren and Russ
1:03
from the infectious screw of YouTube show. Hi guys, And of course I
1:11
have to mention one of the icons of the eighties, weird Al Yes,
1:15
Lauren has the beardl podcast, which I mean genuinely speaking of course, the
1:21
man the myth legend really popped in the eighties and became massive. So lots
1:27
of reasons to love the eighties. But let's do some introductions, shall we.
1:32
Hi, I'm your host pants Sarah with me as I said, or
1:36
Lauren and Russ. Lauren, how are you doing? I'm doing Okay,
1:40
I'm on the tail end of a cold, but I feel like it's appropriate
1:42
for our eighties music episode because I'm sounding a little bit like Bonnie Tyler right
1:47
now. Oh, I like that total eclipse of the hard things every now
1:52
and then. Right, So, Lauren, I'll say, for in your
2:05
case, perhaps aside from weird al, what is your favorite thing from the
2:09
eighties? Oh, thing music wise or otherwise anything anything. I mean,
2:15
you can you can stick to music if you want. That is the theme
2:17
of the episode. But I would not blame you if you were like,
2:21
you know, there's this thing from the eighties that I absolutely love. You
2:24
know, this is this is very this is tough, this is hard.
2:28
I'm going to now that I've been put on the spot about it, I'm
2:30
going to go with the show Family Ties. Oh that's a good show.
2:34
Yeah, yeah, it's a good show. It's a good pick. It's
2:38
a good pick. Didn't they want to get rid of mar Michael J.
2:40
Fox from Family Ties? Initially? Like some exact saw him and was like
2:45
absolutely not. Yea, yeah. The show was supposed to initially be about
2:50
the parents, but then the kids were like no, but we're like pretty
2:53
awesome at doing this, So that's what happened. We're more popular than they
2:58
are now, so yeah, yeah. Meredith Baxter Bernie Michael Gross the exact
3:06
same birthday. Meredith Baxter Bernie and Michael Gross get out of town. I
3:08
didn't know that exactly to the very day. They're the exact same age,
3:13
and she's just Meredith Baxter. Now I believe she's married to a woman,
3:16
Lauren. Do you think we're being Lauren? Yes, it's possible. It's
3:23
certainly possible. I thought she was going to say down to the second and
3:25
then I was gonna wave a bullshit. Yeah, I don't know that.
3:30
Same day is certainly very possible. H Well, that's awesome. Family ties
3:35
a good pick and uh and you are partnered up with the man, the
3:40
myth, the legend, Stevie. How it goes with STEVIEE Oh, I'm
3:44
doing great man. Yeah, No, for you, I just gave you
3:47
a milk fingers. Sorry, it's ok Maybe there was a pause for Laura.
3:54
Somebody's too soon. It's good. I'm okay because I got a good
3:59
partner and I'm I'm feeling very confident about today's episode. We'll see if that
4:02
confidence is warranted. I really hope. Stevie, what is your favorite thing
4:09
about the eighties? As I was born in the early eighties, I remember
4:14
very little, but I do remember just music was huge. It was everywhere,
4:20
Like I don't Yeah, there was TV and there was a couple of
4:24
things, but that age, but music, Like we'd be singing in the
4:27
car every Sunday going to my grand prayers for dinner and stuff and it was
4:30
like an hour dry before they put like the Thruway in and stuff like it
4:33
was crazy. So like it was nuts, Like music was everywhere every evening.
4:40
My mom would play music and stuff in the eighties and early nineties,
4:43
and then I don't know, it just started going away with I think TV
4:46
and then the ability to carry your own personal like library of music on you
4:50
so nobody else had to hear it. I think there's no more that group
4:54
listening like there used to be, and it kind of sucks. I do
4:57
miss that a lot, and I'm not even a music for anymore, and
5:00
i still miss that, you know. Yeah, No, that's that's absolutely
5:03
cool. Yeah. I seem to recall like some parties my parents would throw
5:09
where they would just put an alm on people just sitting around just jazz and
5:12
you know, vibing, you know, and talking about the music with each
5:15
other. And I'm like, we literally don't do that anymore. We literally
5:19
don't do that. Like people just have like their own opinions and whatnot,
5:24
and then they go on the internet and spread them. Yeah, well that's
5:27
it. Well maybe the world is a little worse off because of it and
5:31
could use a little bit more that eighties flava. Yes, agreed, So
5:36
let's talk to their opponents. So we'll start with Russ Hi Russ Hello,
5:41
Hello, Hello, Hello, And sir, of course, what is your
5:45
favorite thing from the eighties, So, of course it's going to be the
5:49
music. But for me, the diversity of music that I got to grow
5:55
up on in the eighties is absolutely my favorite thing that happened. Like and
6:00
and I think Lauren now we listened to a lot of Casey Kasem countdowns.
6:02
There's a whole channel on iHeartRadio that just plays old American top forty countdowns.
6:08
And I think it's like given Lauren more of an appreciation of how how things
6:13
used to be. Like around the early nineties, we shifted to this thing
6:16
in the music industry where like one genre had to rule all the time.
6:20
Like we went through that thing where like crunch was a thing for several years
6:23
and then gangs strap was the thing on top. And then but in the
6:25
eighties like literally it like the top ten. Like you can go go online,
6:30
look up a billboard a countdown from like whatever eighty one through eighty nine
6:39
any week and just look at the top ten records and it's like the most
6:42
diverse list of artists. Like, things weren't as siloed then, things weren't
6:46
like like they were playing as much Prints next to Duran Duran as they were
6:50
you know, the hair metal bands as they were you know, Anita Baker,
6:55
like you know what I mean. Like, it's just awesome to get
6:58
to hear all of that stuff. You know, Madonna was getting played as
7:01
much as Quite Riot was, you know, back to back. So that
7:06
for me, it was awesome to grow up with that diversity instead of everything
7:09
being so siloed. Yeah, the diversity of music in the eighties is definitely
7:13
something to be worshiped for sure. Yeah, I too remember the nineties where
7:17
it was like it was like fad music, Like you know, something really
7:20
popular pop up and that would dominate for a while, and then like three
7:24
months later, something new would come along and it just kept going, like
7:27
through goth and then new metal and yeah, all the other nineties stuff that
7:31
popped up. I just got. I just got done recording a podcast talking
7:34
about nineties music, so this is a treat for me. So yeah,
7:42
that's awesome. Russ, thank you very much, and your partner. The
7:46
person who will have the most trouble answering this question is Augie, who was
7:53
born after the eighties had already finished. Yeah, so he never got to
7:57
experience the eighties as they were happening. But have you experienced something from the
8:01
eighties that you absolutely love? Oh? Yeah, Ered, I absolutely love
8:05
the fall of the Berlin Wall. What signify the geofical shift and ended the
8:13
Cold War. Wait a minute, did you did you? Literally it's totally
8:18
not something that was googled? Did you did you just look that up on
8:20
the internet to have something to say? Well, I knew the Berlin Wall
8:24
fell fell in the eighties. I just needed a Google search to see if
8:28
there was anything else. And I'm telling you, you don't want me to
8:31
list off whatever else is on this list other than the music. Apparently the
8:35
eighties was pretty garbage. Wow, holy shit. Yeah, you don't want
8:41
to know. I'm not reading this list. It's bad. Great follow the
8:45
Berlin Wall though, good choice, good choice. Yeah, end of the
8:48
Cold War? Yeah, good times. Okay, yeah, that's good.
8:52
I'm just I'm not not even going to point out that both Butter and Stevie
8:58
are from the eighties and you could have pick them, but whatever, pick
9:01
the fall of the Berlin Wall if you want, sure. I mean,
9:05
that's fair though, out of the two you can choose, I mean,
9:09
yeah, it's be fair. World changing event. Yeah, yeah, it's
9:13
fair. Choose me a world changing event. And as I said at the
9:20
start, I am your host. Pants's Aaron for me. My favorite thing
9:22
from the eighties is, Like people have listened to this show for a while,
9:26
know that my favorite thing obviously is games. That's why I do a
9:28
podcast all about them. Like you know whatever, I play video games,
9:31
I play board games that play basically any game if you put in front of
9:33
me, I'm gonna play it. And when I was a kid, like
9:39
our family had a an Atari twenty six hundred, which I did enjoy.
9:43
But my first ever like just for me, like this was just mine,
9:50
my first ever like video game console as it were, wasn't so much of
9:52
console as it was a computer, and it was called the Texas Instruments t
9:56
I ninety nine four A. I think I've talked about it before on the
10:01
podcast, and that computer, like, I spent so much time playing so
10:05
many ridiculous games on there. Granted some educational crap. Got bored that pretty
10:09
quickly, but instead I played like pac Man knockoffs, I played, I
10:15
played Donkey Kong knockoffs, I played Spy Hunter knockoffs, like basically any arcade
10:20
game you heard of in the eighties. There was a knockoff for it on
10:24
the DNA for a and I enjoyed the crap out of that thing, and
10:28
I still miss it a little bit to this day, although it would be
10:31
extremely primitive now by today's standards, but there you go. I got a
10:37
lot of love out of that thing in the eighties. Anyway, let's play
10:39
some games, shall we, thank Yes, we're going to have some fun,
10:43
and I'm really excited about this first game we're playing, Game one,
10:46
get to the karaoke BA. When I think of eighties music, I think
10:52
of icons, and one of the biggest icons of the eighties has to be
10:56
its greatest action star, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Sadly, he's too busy to appear
11:01
on our little podcast, and we couldn't afford him anyway. So instead we're
11:07
going to have a fake text to speech Arnold Schwartzenegger program. And I need
11:11
to be absolutely clear for legal reasons, this is one hundre, not Arnold
11:18
Schwartzenegger. It's a fake read out lyrics to ten songs. Guess the song
11:24
and you'll earn a point, but get it wrong and the other team will
11:28
have a chance to steal the point. The team with the most points after
11:31
all ten songs wins the game and earns one episode point. Now, Russ,
11:37
you got paired with Aggie, who is admittedly the least experienced in the
11:41
eighties and probably a disadvantage. So I will give you the choice. Would
11:45
you like to go first or second? We'll go first. You want to
11:50
go first, all right? Sure? In that case, Aggie, please
11:54
play track number one. You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bob
11:58
you out, I shook you up and turns you around, turns you into
12:03
someone new. Do you have to just say the answer? You may don't
12:13
you want me by the Human League? That is absolutely wrong? Nice?
12:16
Yeah, that is one point for Russ. And it's not even my favorite
12:20
Human League song. That sounded way better than I thought. I was going
12:26
to. I was just like taking aback of it, and I'm like,
12:30
what, all right? Well, I will tell you that they do get
12:35
harder as we go on, but the first couple are pretty easy. Good
12:37
because that one I didn't know who it was. Well, you just need
12:41
the track name. You just need the name of the song. That's all
12:41
I'm looking for. You don't need to give me the artist. So uh
12:46
for for Lauren and Stevie Oggie, please play track two. Let me tell
12:54
you something lest then makes me feel good. I'm afraid of no ghost.
12:58
I'm afraid of no ghost from Ghostbusters. It absolutely is theme from Ghostbusters.
13:09
Oh my god, that's amazing. Holy craft, dude, that's so awesome
13:15
a man? All right. Uh so that's a point to each team.
13:18
Well done. Uh and we're gonna go back over to Russ and Augie and
13:26
when you have a moment there we go. Uh. Please play track three.
13:33
Last night I dreamt with San Pedro just like i'd never gone. I
13:35
knew the song and you can go with us like the desert. It all
13:39
seems like yesterday. No fine way, I'm so glad, absolutely right.
13:48
Yeah, is like I'm not gonna have any luck with any of these.
13:54
Yeah, well that's that's that's kind of a hidden gem of her. Yeah,
13:58
I love that song. It's like the worst song I know. That
14:01
is true though, that is really good. That's genuinely like my favorite Madonna
14:05
song. Absolutely love that song. Uh it's it was blasted at my house.
14:11
My mom was, I think a bigger fan of it than I was
14:13
when I was younger. But now that I'm older, I'm like, yeah,
14:16
I still love that song. All right, So let's it's two points
14:18
to restain agi. Let's move back to Lauren and STEVIEE for track number four.
14:24
I took you to an intimate restaurant into a suggestive movie. There's nothing's
14:28
left to talk about unless it's horssalmdily. I don't feel so bad now because
14:37
I got nothing on that. Can you play that again? Yeah, one
14:39
more time. I took you to an intimate restaurant into a suggestive movie.
14:43
There's nothing left to talk about unless it's horis psalmdily. I took you to
14:50
an intimate restaurant, then to a suggestive movie. There's nothing else to talk
14:54
about unless it's horizontally. Oh no, I don't know this song. Stevie,
15:03
do you know this song? Is it the horizontal limbo? Is that
15:07
your team's guess? I don't. I really don't have an answer, so
15:09
I don't have one either, Yes, all right, that is incorrect.
15:15
That'd be so cool that, Russ and can you steal? I have not
15:20
one clue, not even a little bit like take a shot, uh,
15:31
layer down softly? Yeah, there you go. I like that. I
15:35
like that, but it's wrong. This was this was Olivia Newton John's physical
15:41
Oh yeah, yeah. Wow. It's hard when you don't hear the hook.
15:46
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's it's it's hard when you don't
15:50
hear the actual song either. He's just lycs Okay, so no point on
15:56
that one. Let's go back over to track five for Russ and Augie.
16:00
Just to cast Away an Island Lost. Let's see, oh now the Lonely
16:04
Day with the one year but me, I'll sorry that was left coughing.
16:18
I don't recognize those lyrics at all. One more time, yeah, yeah,
16:26
just to cast Away an Island Loss. Let's see, oh now the
16:30
Lonely Day with the one year but me, I'll oh, I got I
16:36
got, I got nothing. I feel like this is gonna be another one
16:40
where I'm like, oh, I can't believe I didn't know that, but
16:45
I do know the Castaway songs. You're not gonna believe this, but that's
16:56
incorrect. Lauren and Stevie, do you have a guess it's message in a
17:03
bottle by the police? It absolutely is, absolutely is. I was gonna
17:07
say the thing that throws it off is his monotone delivery. If it was
17:12
yeah, you would have had it. Oh my god. Yeah. Then
17:18
then you get it. Then you're like, yes, yeah, but he's
17:22
just doing the lyrics. So Lauren and Stevie steal that point and they get
17:29
a shot. At track number six, This is for Lauren and Stevie.
17:33
Steve Wokes worldly down the street with the primport way down low in the sound,
17:37
but the sound of his feet machine guns ready to go. Yes,
17:45
it is another one bites the Dust by Queen, Well done, fucking I
17:49
had all those albums, like actual albums. My parents gave those to me
17:53
when I was younger, and I played them all the time until I had
17:56
to get CDs. D Are you satisfied? All right, let's move on
18:07
to track seven. This is for Russ and Augie Diamond Live, love it
18:12
Boy. We move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy, city lights
18:17
and business nights when you require street desire for high heights. I'm gonna take
18:26
a guess based on the first two two lines on the song I think is
18:30
I think that's smooth Operator. It is smooth Operator. Yes, absolutely right,
18:37
smooth operator by nice spelled s a d E but pronounced day. I
18:42
was gonna say, there's there's a there's an old in Living Color sketch where
18:45
they're like, who do you think you kid? Your name is Sadie.
18:53
It is all tied up three points apiece. But there are three songs left,
18:56
so we're back over to Lauren and Stevie for track number eight. I
19:03
feel so ensure us to take your hand and led you to the dance flu
19:04
as the music dies, something in you and the silver screen and all said
19:10
goodbyes. That's a careless whisper. It is careless whisper. Well done.
19:15
Man May just bought a Japanese pressing of that record and played a whole intro
19:22
for Lawrence You've never heard before. I need to educate people. That is
19:33
fantastic. Good luck heard Lauren and Stevie well done. They're ahead four to
19:37
three and there are two songs left. Russ and Augie, you get track
19:42
number nine. Well, if you told me you were drowning, I would
19:47
not lend a hand. I've seen your face before, my friend, but
19:49
I don't know if you know who I am. Probably the greatest drum fell
19:55
in the history of the game. In the air tonight, Yes, exactly
19:56
right in the air tonight, the greatest drum filled. I love that.
20:10
I can see where you married her. I would do it for me,
20:17
all right. So our final track, this will determine the winner. Lauren
20:21
and Stevie, you get first crack at this. Here is track ten.
20:25
I should have learned to play the guitar. I should learn to play the
20:27
drums. Look at that, mama gout it sticking in the camera. Yeah,
20:34
that's money for nothing? Is money for nothing? Yeah? No lyrics.
20:45
Butter's favorite song is it? He loves it. It's a great It
20:49
is a great away from me walks Alton. Oh, that's so good.
21:06
Drilla Rilla Night Billy. Yeah. I had I had so much fun putting
21:22
these together. It did take like two hours to get all these made,
21:26
but I had so much fun picking out the songs and like tweaking it so
21:30
we would say the words right and it was. It was a gift for
21:33
you as well. I was. I was giggling the whole time, the
21:37
full time, just giggling NonStop. But as it turns out, Lauren and
21:42
see we have five points, Russ and Aggie have four. They have won
21:47
our first game and are up one point to nothing for the episode. But
21:52
that's just game one. Game two is coming up and it's gonna be where
21:55
two points and it's coming up right after this. If you like fun,
22:08
then you're gonna love the beard Out Podcast. It's a podcast where we talk
22:12
about two of the greatest things in the world, Beer and weird Out,
22:15
and frankly, we talk more about weird Out than anything because he's the gift
22:21
that keeps on given. So join us as we talk through weird Al's career,
22:26
what he needs to us, and we have some very special guests on
22:30
to discuss the magic that is Alfred Matthew Yankovic. Beard Out part of the
22:36
Odd Good Media Network. All ry Man, Welcome back. It's time for
22:51
game two. Lauren and Stevie are up one point to zero, but Game
22:55
twos wereth two points. Yeah, this game is called Pitch Me Baby One
22:59
More Time, an old favorite of ours. I got to thinking the other
23:03
day that a lot of great eighties music just didn't get a great music video
23:06
to go with it. Videos were only just becoming all the rage, but
23:10
some songs got left out. And as I have lots of money and very
23:14
little common sense, I'd like to buy the rights to these songs and release
23:18
new videos for them. I want each of you to pitch me a classic
23:22
eighty song that does not have an iconic music video, So if it has
23:26
a music video, but if it's not. If it's not, then you
23:33
are absolutely free and clear to use it and describe to me the music video
23:37
that it deserves to have. So I'm basically giving you the chance to sort
23:41
of direct your own music video. Here. Best pitch wins the game and
23:45
earns two episode points for their team. Russ and Aggie, you guys are
23:51
behind, So I'll give you the choice again. Do you want to go
23:52
first or second? Oh? Well, go first again, all right?
23:57
And which of the two of you would like to go first? Yeah?
24:03
I would love to hear yours first. I am very curious myself okay.
24:10
Yeah, So my pitch for a perfect new iconic music video is Madonna's Into
24:18
the Groove where she's trying to seduce a carpenter while he's busy painstakingly grouting her
24:26
floor. So the end of the groove is it works on two levels.
24:40
Yeah, I see that. I see that mostly floor level. Oh gosh,
24:52
okay, and that's you don't have any like special I mean, she
24:55
just dances around him and he just increasingly gets more agitated throughout the video.
25:00
He's absolutely not into it. No, he's trying to do his job that
25:03
he's paid for, and she's like trying to seduce him. Like it's like
25:06
a really bad porno videos that there's no sex. It's just an angry dude
25:10
leaving after the job's done. Okay, it's just like you'll get a bill.
25:18
I mean genuinely, it's it would be iconic. I guess I wouldn't
25:26
have seen that coming from why she didd weird al yeah, drug lord,
25:37
it's true, But to put herself in that position where she's getting rejected,
25:42
I don't think she would go for that, but maybe I'm wrong. Okay,
25:47
So Russ, what have you got? Can you top that I think
25:51
you might be a I don't know top like for real, Like I literally
25:55
sat and thought for a while about like trying to figure out something funny to
25:57
do, and then ended up settling on something serious, like and I'm being
26:02
serious, is not at all going to be funny. So I don't know
26:06
if I'm gonna like lose points for not being funny, but I think it
26:07
would be a hell of the video for a great song the song Everybody Wants
26:11
to Rule the World by Tears for Fears as video did not get a good
26:17
video at all, Like it's just kind of there, but I think it
26:21
ties into you can tie the video into something you had mentioned earlier today on
26:26
this show, and where people all want to sit around and like just share
26:30
their own opinions on social media or like go to news sites that agree with
26:33
them already, and like not actually hear what anybody else is having to say.
26:38
So I think you could pick like a very poignant, like socially based
26:41
video showing like the difference between people who like go out and you know,
26:45
like touch grass and talk to other people and see other people's points of view
26:49
as opposed to just sitting on a screen clicking on something that you already agree
26:52
with. So that to me, and again, I'm like not trying to
26:56
bring anything down and be like I'm going to be socially conscious, but like
27:00
I really do think that because it's a hell of a song. I think
27:02
if you did the right video clip for it, like it would be a
27:03
hit. Again. Yeah, yeah, that is powerful. That is that
27:08
is a hot idea that is gonna be hard to beat. I wish I
27:15
didn't make a joke. Fucking well, this is a comedy podcast, but
27:22
that was that was damn every damn good. Russ, very good. Let's
27:30
see if Lauren and cebe Ken top that. Which one of the two of
27:33
you would like to go first speaking about jokes? Should it be me or
27:37
you gotta? Mine's not serious either, so I don't care, No,
27:42
you can go first. Story good, Okay, thank you. So I
27:47
would like to do a video for this song Edge of seventeen by Stevie Nicks.
27:51
And it has a video, but it's not it's just a live performance
27:53
video. There's nothing special about it. Yeah, well yeah yeah, and
27:57
so it is what it is. I would like to do a video that
28:00
takes every lyric of this song. Literally. So, for instance, just
28:07
like the White wing Dove, there's birds, just a lot of birds,
28:11
a lot of birds, and then they go ooh baby. So then you
28:14
show a baby baby, then a bird, then a baby, and then
28:21
there's a there's a verse in the The bridge of the song goes, well,
28:25
the clouds never expect it when it rains, but the sea changes colors,
28:29
so it's starting to rain. Then you've got a whole bunch of clouds
28:30
going off. Fuck, it's raining. And then and then and then bird
28:38
baby bird baby, oh baby bird bird baby birds and hot, thank you?
28:48
Here's where's my credit card? Here? This one? Wow, that's
28:52
fantastic. That was freaking marvelous. Okay, Stevie, what do you not
29:00
as good as that? But here's something at least, guys right, Okay,
29:04
So this song actually never had a music video at all, and it
29:07
really should have. It's Whitney Houston's Love Will Save the Day. There was
29:11
no official video made. It was obviously like cuts from, like you guys
29:15
said, some concerts and things. So as she as the lyrics actually start
29:21
out, she talks about the craziness or whatnot that's within her and stuff.
29:23
But she's walking through a city with people being people man like, ignoring the
29:29
ones that need help and stuff, and then they keep showing like crime and
29:32
shit, right, and then the craziness starts, changing Whitney Man into her
29:37
superhero alter ego Love to Save the Day. And then she goes through like
29:44
fixing this city with like positivity and love and shit man, and it like
29:48
flows so good. Was like, here's this all darkness and she's like no,
29:53
and then bam, Love to Save the Day man, and then she
29:56
just like just like hooks people up and shit helps hand out sandwiches. Love
30:08
saves the day and gives you a man. Uh. Yeah, No,
30:18
there's lots to love about all these pitches. Uh, that's the first time
30:22
I've heard that so long. That the funniest pitch bar Nune is is Laurens.
30:27
That is that is so funny, But the best pitch is Russ's.
30:33
Yeah, because that would be a phenomenal music video, and I would genuinely
30:37
love to see that. I mean, I would love to see all these
30:40
but I mean in terms of like, in terms of like best pitch that
30:45
is such a great idea that I think it should actually be done. Yeah,
30:52
I want that. I still want that. We can probably do that
30:56
ourselves though, baby yeah, just put it on YouTube, just YouTube,
31:03
I get in trouble, all right. Well, that is going to be
31:07
two points to Russ and Agi, so it is two points to one.
31:11
They've taken the lead, but will they hold it? Game three is worth
31:18
three points, and that game is coming up right after this. We interrupt
31:30
this program to bring you a newsplash Michael Jackson's ghost scene out a Yankees game,
31:37
Cinnamon Toast Crunch now with a shrimp in every bite. Lil Uzi Vert's

It's time for game three. Game three is the Rules of the Game eighties
32:22
music edition. Everybody loves Rules of Gay. I don't know if I should
32:27
cheer or say boot to you right now? Okay, don't you enjoy rules
32:32
that it earns? All right, everybody knows the rules correct? No,
32:38
what the rule? Of course not. That's the whole point. Our players
32:42
are going to play a game that they don't know the rules to. As
32:45
they play, they will earn points. But, and this is a twist,
32:49
if any player can guess the rules of the game before the game ends,
32:52
they'll earn a bonus of ten points and then continue playing. Oh.
32:58
At the end of the game, the team with the most points wins and
33:00
earns three episode points. So, uh, Lauren and Stevie, you are
33:07
now behind. Would you like to go first or second? Second? How
33:14
do you feel about that? Yeah? Okay, we go on from the
33:16
or the second, the back nine. I feel like we can be a
33:19
solid number two. Yeah, well you're a solid number one. Russ.
33:22
You guys are going the first problem now I gotta see Russ. Give me

deliberately shits on you. Definitely don't know these are the real rules, or
34:43

34:45

36:52

37:19
Oh no, you were giving you the word what? Sorry? What
37:22

37:40
Russ, you're up us U s us zero points, Damn Lauren,

I forgot to do this and is worth thirty eight points. It's no I,
38:58
but it's close, it's very close. We're back to Lauren, why
39:06
because I asked, Oh, you mean the question why w h y zero
39:10

39:20
Uh. Augie waiting waiting zero points. Steebee tie t I E tie

They might have an idea of what they're doing Stevie music music zero points.
40:30
No no idea what we're doing. All right? Back to Russ and
40:37
then you stepped on it. Round mm hmmm, uh sorry did you say
40:43
round or around round not okay, So round is zero Lauren round around twenty
40:57
points. Mm hmm okay, So back to Augie. Spin spin is worth
41:17
zero points. It was neither. Yes, that's one of us thought of
41:24
it. Uh Stevie your ice ice zero points? What the frick man?
41:32
Yeah, I don't know what it is anymore. I had an idea and
41:36
it wasn't. Uh Russ more m O r e more two points for that.
41:49
Lauren heart heart is in the body part that is worth six points.
42:01
Okay, uh Ugie. Brain is in the thing that worked in here right
42:17
now. Brain is zero points. Yeah, uh Stevie top top yeah,
42:29
top is zero points. Yeah, Russ soul s o u l soul is
42:37
zero points. Uh and Lauren turn turn turn is eighteen points. Uh Ugie
43:08
bright bright bright is eight points. Uh Stevie, give give give a zero.
43:34
All right, this is going to be your last pair of guesses.
43:37
Each one of you gets to give one more word before the game ends.
43:40
Russ, can I make it? Do we get a penal penalization if I
43:45
guess what the rules are? Wrong? No? If you're wrong, you
43:49
just get nothing and you can't guess again. Okay, I'm going to guess
43:52
that this is the lyrics of total clips about it. That is correct.
43:57
This is a ten I was about to say that if you didn't. If
44:02
I was there, I was, Yeah, Just how many times? How
44:06
many times has this damn song ponted our lives? In the last I'm the
44:10
one who sounds like Bonnie Tyler. Now that you've correctly guessed and earned the
44:15
ten point bonus, what is your word, sir? Eyes? Yep,
44:20
eyes, I think that's a good choice. That is ten points. I
44:25
don't think we're going to catch up to you. And Lauren your last word
44:31
apart a part is worth eight points, and Augie your last word eclipse.
44:43
I think that's a good choice. That's where six points. And Stevie,
44:47
what do you think? Did we say every every is worth eighteen points?
45:00
So at the conclusion of our game by a sixty point margin, it is
45:04
Lauren and Stevie yea with one hundred and fifty eight in ninety eight and yes
45:10
and yes. In case it wasn't obvious, the points were how many times
45:15
that word appears in the lyrics of the song? Yep? I think more
45:19
times? Very nice. I spent I spent an hour, Oh my god,
45:25
thankfully. I had a program alphabetized the words for me, and then
45:29
I just counted on that one. I counted each one individually, but yeah,
45:34
just sorted everything for me. So it wasn't like but I mean,
45:36
this list goes on for quite some ways. There are a lot of different
45:39
words than this. I think you guys got almost all the big hitters,
45:43
though. I was the biggest of thirty nine, followed by and at thirty
45:46
eight was twenty three, around was twenty, every was eighteen, little,
45:54
which nobody said was eight now now which nobody's said would have been twenty four
46:01
of just of was sixteen, the twenty seven, then twenty and yeah,
46:12
those were all the big hitters. Aside from that, you got them all,
46:14
including you, which was twelve. But yeah, well done, well
46:17
done. That went as I was hoping it would go that Well, you
46:22
guys did figure it out towards the end, which that last bit when I'm
46:25
like, wait, so now you know how it works, and now you
46:28
got to pick the words that actually give you the last I was looking at
46:30
all the big, big number of points, I'm like, I'm like,
46:31
wait a second, one of those words have together. I'm like, wait,
46:36
yeah, bright between bright is what got it? Yeah? For me,
46:40
I was my brain. It was initially on Turn the Beat Around.
46:45
Yeah, and Lauren, you can how much you delighted me when you mentioned
46:50
the song at the very start of the show. At some point Steve and
46:54
I both definitely thought it was like we mis spin around. Come on that
47:00
that is the quintessential eighties song, right, You almost can't get more eighties
47:05
than that song? Right? It fantastic? So with four points to two,
47:12
our winners are Lauren and Stevie Wrap. That was awesome. I was
47:20
a good guesser, but not good enough. Well again, you were.
47:24
You were handicapped from the off, so I apologize my apologies. I was
47:29
born in the nineties and bustly handicapped. You still have your youth and your
47:37
joint stone ache when it rains, so yeah, oh my god, join
47:43
when it doesn't rain. I have to thank our music experts, both of
47:47
which brought their a game today and played brilliantly. Lauren and Russ from the
47:52
Infectious Proutic Job and beard Olt podcast. Where where would you like people to
48:00
go to find you? Aside from just searching for infectious groove on YouTube,
48:06
which I think is your preferred way of getting people to find your your YouTube
48:08
channel. Yeah, yeah, you can find his YouTube the our YouTube channel
48:13
there, and I think in every video there is a link to the beard
48:16
Up podcast link tree, So that's probably a very easy way to find the
48:19
beard Out Podcast. But you can also just go to beard out podcast dot
48:22
com. Right now, I'm deep in the middle of doing a fortieth anniversary
48:27
rundown of all the tracks on the weird Al Yankovic in three D album.
48:30
Yeah, so that has been a tremendous amount of fun. Yeah, I
48:35
imagine so, And the beard Out Podcast is absolutely worth a listen even if
48:40
you're not a fan of weird Oot. But it helps. Yeah, yeah,
48:45
absolutely helps. But Lauren's funny and charming enough on her own that she
48:49
will bring you into the fold. I guarantee any fun YouTube videos on their
48:53
way or that you that you're excited about. We actually just started a new
49:00
series because if anybody's familiar with their channel at all, we always try and
49:04
keep everything positive. And I stumbled across a YouTube channel about video games that
49:10
was called What's so great about where like instead of you know, you see
49:15
a lot of YouTube videos that are like, yeah, so Olda's overrated.
49:17
You know, this guy does these channels and all the videos he does is
49:20
like, what's so great about this Selda game or that Super Mario game or
49:22
whatever? He points out all the good things about it. And I was
49:25
like, holy crap, that would be a great series. So in the
49:27
first video that we did, we totally gave credit. We were like,
49:30
we totally got this idea from this other channel, Go see them about video
49:31
games. But we just started that series. And what's cool for us is
49:36
we can go in a million different directions with it. So it could be
49:39
you know, what's so great about this band or what's so great about this
49:43
band member or this song by the sand or this album or whatever. Yeah,
49:46
and we're basically just you know, listing off the reasons why we think
49:51
that artist or song or band member or whoever are great. And you know,
49:55
again, instead of being like, yeah, so Joal Perry's overrated,
49:59
you know, we're yeah, he's great. You know, I would think
50:04
it was more than enough ammunition to make a what's so great about eighties music?
50:07
Episode? Yeah? Yeah, we just we did one. I was
50:10
what's so great about John Bermuda Schwartz weird El's drummer and I posted about it
50:15
in one of the weird al groups that I'm in, and John Bermuda Schwartz
50:20
saw it and commented on the post about it, which I thought was very
50:22
cool. I was like, yeah, you see, you know we think
50:24
we're that you're awesome. I'm sure you appreciate the love for sure, as
50:30

54:05
Why because fuck you, That's why, bitches. Because it's not a tuma.
54:15
I was struggling to think of a song from the eighties. It starts
54:19
it because I can't say all that comes to mind is the Beatles because I'm
54:24
like, oh, not quite the same thing. No, I can't think
54:27
of it. It's like I skipped the seventies and eighties as far Like.
54:30
The first song for whatever reason that comes to my mind was because is because
54:34
You Love Me by Celindion And I was gonna say that and I was like,
54:39
no, that's got to be for sure mid nineties because you love me? Yeah,
