Latest / Deprogrammed Music Podcast / AJR
Transcript
- 0:31To program the podcast where we try to get you into a band.
- 0:35Today's band is AJ are all Justin reviewed and if they
- 0:43can't all be winners, they almost never are winners.
- 0:46So this is what you get stuck with when when I do things and I
- 0:50sit on things. Alright, so a Jr.
- 0:53I think it was last time you were here.
- 0:56Zach, you said, hey, by the way, if you want to do a Jr, that's A
- 0:59quick turnaround. Tell me about a gr.
- 1:02Why did you other than, obviously, the obvious quick,
- 1:05turnaround. Why did you want to do a Jr?
- 1:07Well, because their names Adam Jack and Ryan, you asshole.
- 1:22Your wife is a Hanson fan. And so like you've kind of
- 1:27jumped on that train. For me, this is kind of that
- 1:33territory where I found three brothers that formed a band in
- 1:38today's state so they became a YouTube sensation and I'll be,
- 1:44I'll be transparent. I did not find them until
- 1:47probably 2020 and they released a little bit before that, I
- 1:54don't think so. I think bummer land spoilers for
- 1:56things that can happen. I think bum Berlin was Was a big
- 2:00thing that happened. Then bang happened and that
- 2:04really got me into listening to their discography and then I
- 2:10felt like and maybe I don't know if the program's ever heard of
- 2:14this guy before. I felt like, I was Joe Leone.
- 2:19I was just listening to all previous this ography and I
- 2:25started getting into this band hardcore to the point where It's
- 2:29like I've non-stop. I'll be honest a week.
- 2:33Does not go by where I have not listened to their music for a
- 2:38few hours. I feel like a Jr, is my 182 to
- 2:43Joe? That's, that's interesting.
- 2:46I mean, it makes sense having listened to the discography.
- 2:49It makes, you know, some level of sense but like also to have
- 2:54them come like fly off the charts that fast.
- 2:58Well, yeah, they Have climbed. And for me, what's Wild is as a
- 3:03man way past, what their ages, what's really weird?
- 3:09Is that I feel like a lot of things they speak about and
- 3:12you'll notice from the songs, I chose I really feel like they
- 3:17speak to me and it doesn't make sense like guys that are only
- 3:22like 25 to 30 should not speak for a 40 year old man.
- 3:27I don't know if that's good for me or But I'm just putting it
- 3:31out there. Let's be.
- 3:32Yeah, let's be honest. You and I are both really like
- 3:35stunted growth men, like we're, we're men by now Z, we're
- 3:40children and someone who can see somebody who can speak to that.
- 3:44The very own Brooke held in here for the first time.
- 3:47So Brooke tell me about AG are what cause actually Zack had
- 3:51said he volunteered you for this.
- 3:55So talk to me about a jry it was he Tiered you and why you
- 4:00accepted? Okay.
- 4:03So here's what I will say. There's there's a lot of things
- 4:06when it comes to a Jr that like have almost like a personal love
- 4:15Zach. And I have a lot of music that
- 4:18we both love and we've gone to quite a few different concerts
- 4:23and things like that. And I think that this is one of
- 4:26the first ones that we kind of found together.
- 4:29In a sense. So it's kind of got like that
- 4:33it's ours. It's like our own personal
- 4:36Journey with them of especially like find like like Zach said we
- 4:41literally heard a song to songs and we're like I really like
- 4:44this and then when you start digging and you hear some of
- 4:48their other songs, it's like wait.
- 4:51I really like this too. I really like this too.
- 4:53And then to hear their story of them, being three brothers, and
- 4:57the fact that they like Went to college in like know the reasons
- 5:05behind their music like the paints and everything.
- 5:09It's like such an appreciation that it takes it to a whole
- 5:13nother level and I feel like even some of their sad songs,
- 5:17like it's still gives you like this like Pump Up, Pump, upbeat,
- 5:23not that you want to like jump on the table and start dancing
- 5:26to all of them. But like they it's still up.
- 5:29Acting like they're sad songs are still uplifting.
- 5:31And I love that this. So, all of this makes sense in.
- 5:36This is all stuff. I did, I did not know about the
- 5:38band. Like, one of the things I noted,
- 5:40as going through the dust discard feels like there is a
- 5:43really good band underneath all these, these musical choices
- 5:47that they're making. Like, I can tell like, there's
- 5:49Parts where like, it comes back to just an acoustic guitar or
- 5:53piano at points. And I'm just like, I can, I can
- 5:57hear it and then like, You said it's you can tell the choices
- 6:01that they made with the layers were, you know, for lack of a
- 6:06better to pop, you know, like to write, right?
- 6:09And look, man, like Rivers Cuomo has made a career out of that.
- 6:13Like he he studied the music to know.
- 6:17Hey like he's in his 50s and he's still making music that
- 6:21that can play on several different stations whether you
- 6:23like the music or not anymore is irrelevant because there's lots
- 6:27of people who do so This one, this one is really interesting
- 6:31for me too, because like I was shut off, I'm a little bit of an
- 6:37asshole with my music. I mean, I've eased up on it and
- 6:41it's mostly because of the show, but like, this is a band that my
- 6:45son is really into. Oh, no, shit.
- 6:48Yeah, wow. So like he actually heard me
- 6:52starting to study for this and he got excited.
- 6:54I was like, oh man, cool. Like I wanted to get him to do a
- 6:57list so I could have it, you know?
- 6:58But Right. He's too much like his old man
- 7:01and doing well, eight million other things to, to kind of
- 7:06piggyback it, it, I am kind of the same way, like, I'm a, like
- 7:10a song on the pop charts or whatever.
- 7:13And it like, you know, I'll listen to it or whatever.
- 7:16And there are artists out there where there are a few songs that
- 7:21I listen to, but there was something about a Jr and I think
- 7:24you hit it on the head where it's like there's something
- 7:27deeper about what they're talking about.
- 7:29Open, which is what I respected most because like there are the
- 7:35aspects of Music the way they train it.
- 7:38Like Brooks said we're look me and Brooke have gone through
- 7:41many of YouTube nights, just watching their music videos
- 7:45there behind the scenes documentaries, like we have gone
- 7:49and we have never done that rabbit hole.
- 7:52Like when we found out that they were performing as like
- 7:56basically kids except the one brother, who was odd Obviously a
- 8:00guy who had like a fucking HOV, fucking he's fighting.
- 8:04He's got an E-ZPass in his car. The other kids can't drive yet,
- 8:08we knew what was going on, but like to find out where all of
- 8:13them came from and where they are in life and how they fell
- 8:17again, their music alone is going to be a reason to talk
- 8:22about because of like, it's not just them trying to be pop
- 8:27stars. They are putting an undertone
- 8:28message. To pop songs.
- 8:31So you could bounce to it. But as well be like, you know
- 8:35what, I feel this and that's a whole nother, you know, you
- 8:40mentioned the tide of Hanson like that's a whole nother,
- 8:42tie-dye Hansen like dad's, right?
- 8:45The Hansen does that all the time.
- 8:48They hide really sad stuff in these upbeat uplifting songs.
- 8:52It's, you know, not the same, it's not Apples to Apples music.
- 8:55No, but yeah, but message was absolutely It was about erotic
- 9:02asphyxiation, that's right. Wasn't it?
- 9:05Yeah. Teenagers wrote about erotic
- 9:08asphyxiation. Giving you, my father was so we
- 9:16don't have like a very deep discography which was one of the
- 9:19reasons you kind of you know put it to the Forefront.
- 9:21But talk to me about like how you put your lips together for
- 9:25this Zack. So I went off the first down
- 9:29Them that I knew which was their most recent one and if I can
- 9:34pull up my notes it is called to okay, Orchestra and I've gone
- 9:39through that album Millions upon millions of times and then I
- 9:44went back and look at their discography and honestly,
- 9:47there's an album I'm closer to than even.
- 9:52Okay, Orchestra. That's why I was saying like, I
- 9:54had that Joey Leone kind of feel where I went backwards And was
- 9:59like, oh no I think I love this album, the most even through the
- 10:04most recent. So I legitimately I started at
- 10:08the beginning. I went to the latest and I'll be
- 10:12real. I think I grabbed a lot from
- 10:15each album and I think that's what we have to note here is
- 10:19that they have been putting out Stellar songs throughout their
- 10:24career. It's not like when we've done
- 10:28things before. Or where like the the Lost
- 10:32episode of Ceramics and of D where like, when we got to the
- 10:38later ones, it was like one or two songs we were like, oh this
- 10:41is nice. No, I feel like there is a good
- 10:45song from each album multiple times.
- 10:48Yeah, I get that. So, this being your first time
- 10:51here broke. Like did you have any kind of
- 10:53game plan? Putting your list together or
- 10:54did you just, you know, how did you approach it?
- 10:57Okay, so I'm going to be raw honest.
- 10:59Yes, please to the circle. Hi, let's just keep it on the
- 11:04circle. Um no.
- 11:06So I kind of went, you know, album by album and I think I had
- 11:11the issue of like, I would go through the whole album.
- 11:15I'm like, okay, but I love all these songs right, right.
- 11:18And so then my way of like, narrowing it down was like,
- 11:22okay. But do I know all the lyrics or
- 11:25do I just catch myself liking like the beat and I'll hum it
- 11:30but I don't know me. Yeah, I'm a deal.
- 11:32So then to me, it was like, okay, so this isn't hitting as
- 11:35hard because if it was hitting hard like I would know.
- 11:40Hmm, the lyrics. So, that's kind of how I went
- 11:43through it. And that was, that was my game
- 11:48plan. Like just what do you know?
- 11:50Because it wasn't I could have like had all of them on there
- 11:53and I would've been like no this is good.
- 11:56And as the you know, the new ear to the band.
- 11:59I you know I don't have the emotional attachment that you do
- 12:04but I felt the same way going through it as like you know I'm
- 12:07listening the first, the first record and I'm like, where are
- 12:12the cuts I right? I don't know.
- 12:15Which one, none of them seem like obvious drops, which goes
- 12:18to Zacks Point earlier. Like, this isn't like, when we
- 12:21did Backstreet Boys, this isn't like, when we did in sing,
- 12:24right. Like these beasts, like, very
- 12:26thin pop records that just have the singles.
- 12:28These are deep records that they have written, like there's yeah,
- 12:33there, you know, you may be able to take her leave a style but if
- 12:39you're looking for, what AJ are, does every record is dense and
- 12:44you don't Always come across that doing a show like this, so
- 12:49it did make it did make song Or List building a little
- 12:53difficult. I did lean on, on Spotify
- 12:57numbers a little, you know, I looked around, you know, to
- 13:01stuff that just kind of caught my ear or what I thought that
- 13:05they did really well that might catch somebody else's here.
- 13:09So, you know, we're definitely, that's what we're looking to do.
- 13:12We're trying to turn somebody on to AJ are so like, I I kept
- 13:15coming back to that point and I'll say this man, like for
- 13:20having only known a couple songs going in and songs that you know
- 13:26no spoilers. But like I did not like the
- 13:28songs that I knew. I did not know interesting.
- 13:31I did not like the songs that I knew going in.
- 13:33Now, don't take that at literally face value, that does
- 13:37not, it means nothing not say that, no spoiler, it's okay,
- 13:41guys, bang will make the list, one way or another.
- 13:45Did not like those songs going in, you know, I knew them.
- 13:48I had heard them. I did not like rice.
- 13:50So now, do you think that's like, I don't like it because I
- 13:55knew that was the pop. And I have heard that song over
- 13:59and over and I'll be fully transparent.
- 14:01I do think bang as Mile East of things, maybe to come, but is
- 14:07that what comes the play? Do you feel like, oh, because
- 14:11overuse this good word, I think, I think it was You know, like I
- 14:16was able to separate myself when this together, like I said, when
- 14:21you brought a house of this list, then when you said when
- 14:27you said a Jr, and then I realized who that was and, you
- 14:31know, two songs came to mind. I was like, oh, those songs
- 14:34crap. Oh no, it was my who savings.
- 14:37You said two songs. I know one because I'm gonna be
- 14:40honest. If you name, one of the ones I
- 14:42love, I might cut your throat. Well, is that I need you to not
- 14:47read into this because yeah. Okay, because this might be a
- 14:52sorcerer. I'm letting you know that were,
- 14:55there were songs that I actively did not like going into this.
- 14:58Okay. Oh wow, that's fun.
- 15:00So you should bother you should know that if I went in with a
- 15:05negative mindset. Right, exactly Brooke gets it
- 15:08Brooke knows what I'm saying. Yeah, whatever, okay.
- 15:12Number nine Blink-182, the rock the show.
- 15:15Thanks Joe, here's what I do. Here's what I will say when it
- 15:22comes to a Jr. And I think that this is where I
- 15:25found my own issue of how many songs that I love they are.
- 15:31They have their hand in every aspect of the song.
- 15:35They're writing it. They're mixing it.
- 15:36They're producing it. It's exactly what they want when
- 15:41it comes out. So I feel like there is a, just
- 15:45a, such a bigger passion when it comes to like, Every aspect even
- 15:50when you think about they're like music videos, it is them to
- 15:5580 and it's how they want it done.
- 15:58And I'll also say and Justin I, you know, this I'm not the
- 16:03biggest music guy outside of like popular music but like this
- 16:07is as close as I get to following a band currently where
- 16:13they finish the tour and now they've gone radio silent on.
- 16:18Their Instagram and social medias because they are writing
- 16:21the next album and that's made me flustered because I'm just
- 16:25like, give me more a Jr. What do we do it?
- 16:28So I feel like I finally have reached that world where, like,
- 16:33executive producer Joe has been have.
- 16:38I said, Jose De way to off. I got I got Joe stories for you
- 16:42to, at 5:04. Oh, mr.
- 16:44Guy, I'm sure. You just went to a hockey game
- 16:47with them. I'm sure.
- 16:51Alright, so I've there's been a lot of interesting things said
- 16:56here that need to be taken into account.
- 16:58That being said Zack, how many do you think for the final say,
- 17:01do you, how many do you think we will get through unanimously?
- 17:05I don't know if this is the number, you said to me, but I'm
- 17:07going to go 66. Okay, yeah, that sounds right,
- 17:11I'm gonna go six, I feel like for me there's going to be a few
- 17:16that we, you know Disagree on and maybe we come to terms with,
- 17:20but I feel like there are six songs.
- 17:23We're all gonna fucking love. Hmm.
- 17:26What do you think? Brooke first time out.
- 17:29Well, I was going to say six safe.
- 17:32Let's say three. I guess I'll go five.
- 17:55Okay yeah, all right. Well then Seven seems too high.
- 18:01So I'll I'm going to have to go asshole.
- 18:02I'm going to go 3. I feel like I love it.
- 18:05I feel like it's going to be more than that.
- 18:07I really do but I feel like seven is too high.
- 18:10Yeah, you know are so if I'm going to do it I might as well.
- 18:14Do it in style, right, right. All right.
- 18:17So we are going to take a quick pause and when we come back, we
- 18:19won't play some D program. Jack, stay tuned.

- 19:03Three of us, have come through the AJR discography, and plucked
- 19:06out 20 songs that we're now going to mash together in an
- 19:08attempt to create a top 10 certificate for you.
- 19:10In case you have never given a Jr.
- 19:13The time of day, and how dare you?
- 19:15I think you're incorrect. You will enjoy your time with a
- 19:18jar. I promise you.
- 19:20All right, so look. Where is it?
- 19:24It's on my, it's on my list. It's of them.
- 19:28You know. I'm going to go with the one
- 19:29that you already mentioned. So to easier easier mind.
- 19:33This was definitely one of the songs.
- 19:34I did not like going in, listen to it on the album, as it came
- 19:39up, soften it for me and then coming back to it.
- 19:43When I listened to it on its own, It really stood out.
- 19:47So I'm going with bang, I have it on my list.
- 19:53Samesies, there we go. See at least you were all
- 19:57scared, you know, and that's what I was trying to get to is
- 20:03the the fact that I changed my mind on it.
- 20:06Like, oh, okay, let me connect this back to the Mac please do
- 20:10there we go, but it's when Brooke, nailed what I was, what
- 20:17I was trying to get at everything that they do is them
- 20:22everything that they do them. And so it took some, it took
- 20:27some listening, I had to listen, I'd get over my own shit to be
- 20:31able to hear bang, you know, to be right.
- 20:34And some of that was radio play. And some of that is just the,
- 20:38they're saying bang. Bang bang over and over again,
- 20:42which was a turn-off when I heard it on the radio.
- 20:45And here's the other thing, this happens a lot with pop acts is
- 20:49most of the time, I hear these songs on top 40 radio, right?
- 20:54Which surrounds them with other top 40s X that I most likely
- 20:59don't like. So you have song.
- 21:02I Don't Like song. I don't know that, you know,
- 21:06it's this song and I'm whatever, man.
- 21:08I'm not really going to listen and then another song I don't
- 21:11like, so here's it just got washed between two.
- 21:15Songs that I did like that's not right song but that's what
- 21:18happens on top 40 radio to me. So separating it from that
- 21:23really benefitted the song. So I think it's a great tune and
- 21:27I think it is very much what they sound like, so no, your
- 21:32honor percent. And like for me, this song is
- 21:36the easiest for them to hit that chart with you to enjoy the
- 21:43dance to like I can hear. this in any Festival concert, I can
- 21:48hear this just chilling in a fucking club or whatever and I
- 21:53love that for them because I think they did that as in
- 21:59intention Yes, yes, absolutely. So, there we go.
- 22:05We got one. Just there.
- 22:07It is. Just like that.
- 22:09Do you feel a little bit more at ease back a little bit because?
- 22:13Well, I'll be, I'll be fully transparent because I'm going
- 22:15next. Yeah.
- 22:16Yes. Okay, so originally I was going
- 22:20to do one song. I'm saving it because I don't
- 22:25want to go not back-to-back if that sounds right.
- 22:29Because I want to, I want to feel the Crowd.
- 22:31I want to see where we're all lat.
- 22:33Okay, so I'm going to choose and I choose 3:00 Things From the
- 22:42Same album. This is anybody else?
- 22:46Having I don't have it. You motherfucker.
- 22:52II have it? Of course you do.
- 22:54Of course I thought it's on my life.
- 22:56It's in conversation. It's alive its alive.
- 22:59Wow. I get you know what?
- 23:01I'm kind of shocked you don't have this on your list.
- 23:03Justin, I'm going to be fully transparent.
- 23:05I'll tell it's, you know, I'll tell you like, this is the
- 23:09problem with now, I'm fucked because because of what you just
- 23:14did, I have no idea where this goes now.
- 23:16So, my next pick, I'm just doing for me because what I did here
- 23:21is we This song 3:00 things, it's another single off the
- 23:26album but it felt deeper. And again, I go back to the
- 23:30music video. This is actually my favorite
- 23:32music video off the album because what it is the director
- 23:37from all the albums, he is actually playing the role of
- 23:44Jack. And the entire music video is
- 23:47all the other music videos they have done.
- 23:51And then Even at the end and I find this to be a really
- 23:55powerful message and I love that they put it in there at near the
- 23:59end of the song. They talk about how their
- 24:02parents say you know, you should be quiet, keep things in because
- 24:06you want to keep half your fans and then at the very like near
- 24:11end of the song, last 30 seconds seconds they go.
- 24:15And if you're fucking racist, then don't come to my shows and
- 24:19the fact that they put it On the song, without any trepidation
- 24:26without ya, fucking care of what the world thinks of them.
- 24:31The fact that they put it out there, made me just yell Yas
- 24:35queen and I loved every bit of it.
- 24:40I'll tell you it, like, there weren't any easy cuts.
- 24:44You know, that's, that's the only thing I can say is, you
- 24:46know, I don't, some of these will have reasons but most of
- 24:49them will not, you know? It just yeah, you know.
- 24:52No, because your ass wasn't there.
- 24:58All right, let's find out all right.
- 25:02One that on my list is don't throw out my Legos on the list.
- 25:08Motherfucker. Yes I got it.
- 25:10Yeah. Hey Justin.
- 25:18Legos already had my attention. I'm a child at heart.
- 25:24He said it earlier, but it's a fun Jam.
- 25:29Yes, oh my god, oh, wow, Brooke, please.
- 25:33Give us your feelings about the song and we can I have a very
- 25:37personal message service. I I just love the beat of it and
- 25:44all honesty. It really does go back to like,
- 25:48The way that the songs makes you feel and I do feel like there's
- 25:53I wouldn't say a sadness to the song, but it's just such a like
- 25:58deep-rooted song, right? That when you're kind of in like
- 26:05a mood of like, you know, stuff is going on to me.
- 26:09This is one that you can play and it just kind of brings you
- 26:12back, right? Um, for me this song back in, In
- 26:18November 20 21 my mom passed away and leading up to her
- 26:22passing. This song was very, like,
- 26:27touching me because of, you know, I'm no longer going to
- 26:32have that kid aspect in me, because my mom's passing away
- 26:36and like this is all I kept thinking about is just
- 26:40reminiscing to the former life of I had.
- 26:44We're like, Mom keep my toys, keep myself.
- 26:46So like what I'm throwing The shit away like I'm seeing all my
- 26:49old stuff. So for me like this hits in a
- 26:53different level. Now again I said at the
- 26:55beginning a jr4 fucking kids singing songs.
- 26:59They're speaking to a 40 year old man.
- 27:01What's, what's funny is like it hit me on a different level to
- 27:05because, you know, just the sentence don't throw out.
- 27:10My Legos is something. My son essentially said to me in
- 27:14the almost verbatim, right, because You know, you know how
- 27:19kids are man, they don't take care of the room you're like
- 27:21man, I if you don't pick up, I'm gonna throw all your stuff out.
- 27:26You don't want to be that way but like we've all said, it
- 27:30really of all set it, right? So like in visit, you know,
- 27:33don't don't throw my Legos dad and you know, of course, you'll
- 27:36have to throw your Legos. Just pick them up, you know.
- 27:40Right. Right.
- 27:41Yeah. Like, it definitely hit me on
- 27:42that level. There is like there is a sadness
- 27:45to this kind of goes to that point like At the beginning of
- 27:48the show where we're talking about there, is this sadness
- 27:51that they've they've hid in this this almost joyous sounding
- 27:55track like, right. You would think that it's it
- 27:58doesn't have that uplifting feeling or in.
- 28:01It's not like fast in your face but it also, it doesn't.
- 28:06It doesn't sound like a sad song, it just no feels like one
- 28:11which is its bailout. They legitimately are such a
- 28:16fucking like Like listenable band.
- 28:19Nothing is boring but they are telling you some deep shit when
- 28:23they want to man you did. I can't believe it took us this
- 28:26long to get. Nothing is boring.
- 28:29And yeah because of that that is what is what is hard about this
- 28:34band? Because nothing is boring.
- 28:36You can find a lot of interesting things.
- 28:38If you're listening for it they make a lot of interesting
- 28:41choices. All right you're welcome.
- 28:46I was a softie for this one because New York City because
- 28:50Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Oh my do this Growing Old On
- 28:55Bleecker Street. I don't have it.
- 29:03I don't have that one either. Oh no, I'm so sorry.
- 29:08My friend. It's gonna happen.
- 29:09It's bound, I'm so sorry. You know what?
- 29:13I'm not that. Sorry because you fucked me over
- 29:16opposites, so I don't feel bad. So I again like I said, this is
- 29:27the real reason I picked it. I mean, you know, TMNT Assad.
- 29:32If you get to the bottom of them until they're, they're
- 29:35musicians. Yes.
- 29:38Yeah. There's just a good good song
- 29:41writing under this, so, yeah, it's simple.
- 29:44It's good fucking like Acoustics.
- 29:48It's not necessarily the pop, they're going for and have a
- 29:53couple of songs like this. Like, it's funny because there's
- 29:56a song later on I'll bring up or maybe even work.
- 30:00Well, Where it kind of has this feel?
- 30:04I do like the Bleecker Street, New York atmosphere.
- 30:08Yeah. And you are a New York State of
- 30:11Mind. That's right.
- 30:13And these kids grew up there so this speaks to you, weirdly more
- 30:18than it would speak to me. Hi, that makes them yet, make
- 30:21sense. I mean, I didn't know that about
- 30:23them, but they told me without me knowing they fucking told
- 30:27you, baby, you go no one way or another find out the night we
- 30:31can find out All right Zach. Alright, I'm hello.
- 30:35My God, I'm going on another limb.
- 30:37I'm going on a lamb baby turning out.
- 30:42Nothing nobody, nothing. No, okay, okay.
- 30:50That's right, that's right. So turning out for me.
- 30:53And again, this fucking bed is just giving the soundtrack to
- 30:58Zach. I've enjoyed this song so much
- 31:05and you know what? Deprogrammed is a very deep
- 31:09fucking program because it's D program.
- 31:18So if anybody listening knows Joey and myself, at one point
- 31:24had a rough patch and we did talk to him to each other for a
- 31:28while. The day we broke up.
- 31:32I listened to this song. 700 times in a row.
- 31:36You? Yeah.
- 31:37Oh my God. So while I was drinking and just
- 31:41fucking throwing my life to the Wayside, I kept listening to
- 31:46this song because it's about two people that fucking do.
- 31:51They love each other, do they not?
- 31:53Like and I just felt like that's where we were in that crossword.
- 31:57So for me personally I have yet another song of theirs that hits
- 32:01me. For a moment in my life, Joey I
- 32:04love you. And I'm only saying that because
- 32:07you're a producer and I don't want you to stop the recording
- 32:13and it's at this point because we've got we've hit a few into
- 32:17the bin that, yeah, I mentioned folks, make a list with all the
- 32:23songs like yes, especially the ones that Miss.
- 32:26So you can if you hear us say it, don't you?
- 32:29Just because we're making a top-10 doesn't mean you
- 32:31shouldn't The top 25 easily easily.
- 32:35That's right. Yeah.
- 32:36All right, Brooke. This song Give it to me.
- 32:41Dear went her. I got it.
- 32:44I got it at all. That's three songs.
- 32:50Good fucking car. It's just so good.
- 32:54Yeah, it's like again and it's kind of weird because the last
- 32:57song like it it's just like the sweetest right thing I've ever
- 33:04heard. Yeah.
- 33:05Like and it's such a like profession of Love in a sense
- 33:11but it's like, essentially to your future and I know that he's
- 33:15specifically talking about like his, you know, a future child,
- 33:19right? But it's I even look at it as
- 33:22like, you know, just looking down the road and like having,
- 33:29you know, expectations or wishes and dreams and just wanting all
- 33:34of it and the again, it comes off the tone is definitely on
- 33:38the The. Softer side.
- 33:41Yeah. But it's still one that you can
- 33:46easily move to if that makes sense.
- 33:48Yeah, for sure it. Has that upbeat tone?
- 33:52Yeah. But I like what you said, where
- 33:54it's like in, this is my take away.
- 33:57It is a song he's writing for his future child.
- 34:01But how many people in this world like one something for
- 34:04their future job? Yeah.
- 34:06So not only does he get the write a song about what?
- 34:09What he wants in the future, this does get the go to someone
- 34:13named their child when to 1,000 because it's this Soul.
- 34:17Yep. And and I love the fact that
- 34:19this is, this is the future. I get Justin, you have kids, we
- 34:22have kids and we cut this again. This fucking kid had the
- 34:28audacity to write music for people for 40 years.
- 34:32Yeah, it's crazy man, you know you but you can't, you can't
- 34:37help. But what tugs at the heart.
- 34:39Are you great? All right, I'm gonna try to pick
- 34:42it up here. I'm going to see if I can find
- 34:44you guys on the party line party.
- 34:47Definitely not a party is not a party song as in its a party
- 34:52sounding song. But the the song is not party.
- 34:56Drama drama. Drama gibby, gibby gibby.
- 34:59I thought I had no, it didn't make the cut Justin, I did have
- 35:04it, I did have it but I don't think it made the cut.
- 35:08I'm so sorry. Yeah, it's on mine.
- 35:11You piece of shit. Wow.
- 35:18Good for you drama. Drama drama.
- 35:22Yeah. I you know we'll talk about that
- 35:25on the next round. If yeah if we need it we'll see.
- 35:29All right Zack. All right I have a hundred bad
- 35:33days. Nobody.
- 35:35Okay. I'm alone.
- 35:38Oh you got it. Yeah you were.
- 35:41You were like jumping. I got a and like you say that?
- 35:52I don't know. Necessarily the names of the
- 35:54song. Yes I have to like go back and I
- 35:56thank ya VA a no trust me. You should watch her.
- 36:02Listen to something. This is I am this guy just I
- 36:15know. Okay, so you exactly get it.
- 36:22This should have been the number one song we talked about.
- 36:26I'm that guy that's just a fucking party at a party and
- 36:30like I have so many fucking bad memories or good memories who
- 36:35gives a shit. But guess what?
- 36:37I got stories and this fucking song kicks.
- 36:43This song fucking rips. Oh, now, the percent the beat is
- 36:47good. The words are smooth.
- 36:49I love this song. There's we went to your, we went
- 37:08to your birthday this year, I brought my wife and my son is
- 37:13actually, we went to Joe's birthday party.
- 37:16Let's let's rewind it back a little bit further.
- 37:19Yeah, my my friends from gear Freaks and Greece.
- 37:23Came with me and the first thing they said when they got in the
- 37:27car. Well you know, first Joe so
- 37:29attractive, he's so pretty. Oh my God, prettiest guy in the
- 37:33world but then it was holy shit. That guy Zach, he's a fucking
- 37:39nuisance. No, no talking about how
- 37:42infectious your laugh is and like, how you draw people in and
- 37:49one thing is for sure. And I think this speaks to what
- 37:52you're talking about. If you go to a Eddie with Zach
- 37:53Hilton, you're not going to fucking forget them and you're
- 37:57going, you being you are going to give other people a hundred
- 38:01stories to go tell off, you know, to whomever they go to.
- 38:05So what a million percent? I love this.
- 38:09I love that. This is my thing.
- 38:13What I love about it though is that it is your theme, but to an
- 38:18extent and I think it's like, I, I love the fact that that's not,
- 38:24that's not the exact I get, right?
- 38:26Yeah, so yeah, no. You get you get, you get the
- 38:30sober up. So we're talking about no.
- 38:35But this song is really doesn't. I feel like, you know, it even
- 38:38goes to the point of like, we, as we get older, we live off of
- 38:45our stories. Yeah.
- 38:47And it's like, you know, and I hate saying this It makes me
- 38:52feel old because I want to be like the old 12.
- 38:55I used to do this when you know I would or I used to be able to
- 39:00do this, I can't anymore. You know what I mean?
- 39:02Like so you do get to a point where you live off all of your
- 39:05stories and you think about some of them you're like, oh my gosh.
- 39:10I what in the world was I think I mean there's literally memes
- 39:14that make fun of my lifestyle at this point where it's like, I
- 39:19used to drink up Of a cup of jungle juice had no idea what it
- 39:24was. And today if I like walk in and
- 39:27somebody's too close to me, I freak out.
- 39:29If someone passed you a cup, you wear a mask.
- 39:32Yeah. For those stories and it's like
- 39:40everything you just said is what every 60 year old told shot,
- 39:50okay. Look, it's your turn.
- 39:55Okay, burn the house down. I got it baby.
- 40:04Okay, that's fine. Burn the house down for me is
- 40:09such a fun song. Actually, when does this come
- 40:12out jested, March 9th March night, my son's birthday to my
- 40:20breathing. He loves AJ our dances to it all
- 40:24the time, but I actually, for future notice I use this for a
- 40:29throw me podcast networks montage, video at the beginning
- 40:33of our one-year anniversary, so I just love them.
- 40:38I know this is your song but I'm a lot of talk about it.
- 40:41I just love the fact like we went from the song that we just
- 40:45talked about the hundred bad stories.
- 40:47Once again we're in another kind of party atmosphere, it's like
- 40:51let's go. This fucker down.
- 40:52Yeah yeah. What was like I used to not let
- 40:55things bother me and then like now things like do and I'm like
- 40:59fuck it all. Yeah.
- 41:00Fuck it. What the fuck are we doing?
- 41:02We're getting old. That's this is.
- 41:04This is the story of them to hold the program.
- 41:08I feel the programmed. All right.
- 41:12Oh shit. Back to me.
- 41:14Yep. Okay, I feel like it'd be silly
- 41:18for me to whether we have it or not is you know, a different
- 41:21Thing, but it'd be silly for me to not, not bring up.
- 41:23I'm not famous, I'm not famous. I got it.
- 41:27Got it. Hey, guys, we're doing the songs
- 41:34right now. I'm really not surprised, and
- 41:36I'm not famous. I'm not famous.
- 41:38I feel like Justin is now regretting, not going seven.
- 41:42Yeah, right. It felt like too much but like,
- 41:46there's still so much on the table.
- 41:48Yeah, right. Now, it's actually funny that
- 41:52this is up here for all of us because I'm not famous, is the
- 41:56album off the click. That's the album that I felt
- 42:00closest to. And for a guy like me, like I
- 42:07know the song for them is like, oh, we put out all this content.
- 42:10We're still not big and eventually they do get big
- 42:13that's why this is a song trapped in time.
- 42:16But for me like that's how I feel.
- 42:19I'm going to pull them up. Wrestler.
- 42:21I got movies on Amazon. I got fucking videos for today's
- 42:25podcast for days, and it's still that life.
- 42:29I'm not famous, but you have haters.
- 42:32Yeah, I have so many haters. You're right.
- 42:36Fuck you. A Jr.
- 42:37I beat you. I got all the haters.
- 42:41It's true. I know this is this true.
- 42:45I've burned every bridge in every industry I've ever been
- 42:49in, but I Except podcast this. Justin still loves me.
- 42:54I still love you. It is your turn.
- 42:58Oh, you didn't want to say anything?
- 42:59Okay, I'm going to go, I'm going to get out of the click for a
- 43:05second. I'm actually going to go back
- 43:09to. Okay Orchestra and I'm going to
- 43:11go with way less sad. I have it.
- 43:14So do I? Oh my God, we did it.
- 43:19We fucking okay. So this song of this album is my
- 43:22favorite song of the album and there has been plenty of time in
- 43:29my life where that's how I feel. I'm not the happiest I can be
- 43:35but I'm sure as shit not at my lowest point, so I'm Just Keep
- 43:40On Truckin. Yeah, and it's so fucking up be
- 43:47yeah, I was gonna say this is one that Makes you way less sad.
- 43:55It really does. It's it's it's got a good Tempo
- 43:59to it. It is very uplifting, it's got
- 44:01horns. It's it how the horns, bro.
- 44:05How can you, how can you not be way less sad when you listen to
- 44:08it, great. What does that put us at six?
- 44:14Does it? I think so.
- 44:16Oh my gosh. Justin mean, you are out
- 44:20already. We're at six.
- 44:23Yeah, we're at six. I mean, the thing is, there's
- 44:30plenty more to go like it isn't. I mean, it's not likely but it
- 44:35isn't out of the realm of possibility we do 10, which is
- 44:38never. I was about to say, there's a
- 44:40good possibility, we do 10 that would have never happened just
- 44:43and has never happened. No, it's not happening.
- 44:47You bet on anything. Good night playing, leave it.
- 44:51And I say this because there's so many good Soul.
- 44:54How many rounds do we have left? I mean I still have 1 2 3 4 5 6
- 45:007 8 9 10 11 I still have 12 Songs left.
- 45:04Yeah I got that many to holy shit.
- 45:06There isn't gonna do any babies. It's possible.
- 45:09It's possible. Let's let's see what happens.
- 45:11All right Brooke. Okay, so I don't, I don't know
- 45:18how to like precedent, this of it being like an actual song.
- 45:22Okay. Was that mean?
- 45:27Okay. So I'm obsessed with their
- 45:29Overture. Oh, no, you didn't.
- 45:33I am and they do it for every single album, but I am obsessed
- 45:38with the one on the click. I have it, I have it could be
- 45:57very easily any of them right? Oh yeah yeah I mean it could
- 46:02well not the first one, the first one you can tell their
- 46:05marble. Yes but it's just phenomenal
- 46:09their pieces of shit then I'm getting yeah, it's just it to me
- 46:15shows how ridiculously talented they are, right?
- 46:20That's right now I'll tell you the reason it's not a good one.
- 46:24Oh but there is a reason I didn't know where to place it.
- 46:29I didn't. Yeah I thought they were great
- 46:31but they feel like intros and I was like, do I put an intro on
- 46:35my list? And like when I got to the
- 46:38second Overture on this one specifically I was like, oh man,
- 46:42I might be doing something wrong.
- 46:43And then, you know, what is there like, at least one more,
- 46:46right? Right.
- 46:47Well, yeah, there's one on. Okay, living room, there's
- 46:51click. OK.
- 46:52And then there's the okay Orchestra.
- 46:55Yeah. And so yeah, this is this is
- 46:58what I'm going to piggyback off or Brooke here is that and if
- 47:02you remember in the unreleased DMX, I was a big fan of the
- 47:07intro of Hellas dark album. There something theatrical.
- 47:15Yeah, about the fact that they do an overture of all their
- 47:18songs like they mix all of them and they flow together.
- 47:23There's something kind of beautiful about it especially
- 47:26since its kind of telling its own story.
- 47:29So I agree with Brooke. Like I said, I have this one in.
- 47:32Okay, Orchestra obviously I'm not going to announce, okay
- 47:36Orchestra on my mind because someone won't have it because I
- 47:40want to go to In 410, but I love this.
- 47:44Thank you Brooke for being a part of my world.
- 47:47Well, and like I said, you know, initially, like it's hard
- 47:50because and I kind of agreed with Justin in the sense of,
- 47:53like, can I put this on my list? But the reason that I felt like
- 47:59I could was because I felt like they did the extra step.
- 48:07To almost make it its own song, right?
- 48:09No, I agree. Like I definitely once.
- 48:11I got to. Okay, Overture.
- 48:14I'm like I think I may have done something wrong here.
- 48:18I made a huge mistake. Yeah no.
- 48:21And you can definitely tell us as they're in their newer album
- 48:25like that. They really got.
- 48:28They get a hang of it. Yeah, they get a hang of within
- 48:30like if you go from that first, one like you can tell it's like
- 48:35okay guys, okay. Right from that to the final
- 48:40like oh no we should actually incorporate words.
- 48:44Yeah it's it make a song out its Yang gor.
- 48:47Yeah yeah. Okay who's got it is mine give
- 48:51it to me. All right.
- 48:52So you know, like I told you more more Joe stories on after
- 48:57the fact but whenever whenever we used to get together as yws
- 49:02and we'd hit we'd hit we'd make towns together.
- 49:07Oh, yeah, any stop. We would make whether it be wah,
- 49:09wah, whether it be, you know, the Applebee's, whatever there
- 49:13was something that we would do. Every time when we were done
- 49:18with said place, we would come outside and announce that.
- 49:22We just put this place. I'm a fucking mess aftermath and
- 49:25I would like to yell it, but my children are sleeping.
- 49:27So, I did for you and my child's looking at my eyes.
- 49:37So, this song, The, the title of it, in the song itself, kind of
- 49:44made me think of us like it. When we show up somewhere, the
- 49:48name of the song, is the entertainments here?
- 49:51Yes. Yes.
- 49:53Hey, we got it, baby. I fucking dig this song.
- 50:00It's just it. It's there it is.
- 50:06This is the song that is very like, low-key pop and plays
- 50:13instruments. You don't normally hear ya.
- 50:15Well don't know that. Use the the brass often but this
- 50:21is very sexy goddamn Justin. We did it.
- 50:30We did it. Look at that seven, like none of
- 50:32us live. Nothing.
- 50:35We've done the nine before. Oh okay, okay, so we got but
- 50:44it's behind us.
- 51:05Beauty and Justin, you just fucking nailed it right there.
- 51:11They have three albums. Plus, even EPS.
- 51:15If you listen to all these songs they sound like they're on the
- 51:18Same album, different the same. Hmm.
- 51:22Yeah, I'll give it to you but don't worry.
- 51:25Justin, I'm up next. I'm about to put you guys on
- 51:28fucking just me. We can't be unanimous this
- 51:34entire time. Time.
- 51:37Maybe I'm going with from the living room.
- 51:41I'm choosing Infinity. Now see now I got it, trust me,
- 51:48I got it. That's too, that's too.
- 51:52Okay, I'm glad you got this, this is in discussion.
- 51:57Okay so for me Infinity what I love about this because they
- 52:00have another song from their original that I enjoy.
- 52:05But like this song What I love is the acoustic guitar and the
- 52:10fact that he's singing about a girl that not necessarily A
- 52:15Someone, he ends up with, but you get this here, the story he
- 52:20goes through with her and I think all of us have that High
- 52:25School relationship. And again, they speak to me
- 52:30because it is a former fucking life that we all have and they
- 52:35just speak to me from then to now baby.
- 52:37So I'll tell you why I picked it.
- 52:41So I didn't count that first Overture as the first Track,
- 52:46right? So when you get into Infinity
- 52:49it's like yeah, oh this is what the band is.
- 52:51And yeah, that's not to Discount Overture because as we mentioned
- 52:55last go around, when you get to the next Overture like oh wait,
- 52:58no this is what the band is about, like right kind of comes
- 53:01into a bigger picture but when we're going through that the
- 53:05first time, if I hit Infinity first, I can lock into what the
- 53:09band is immediately and grime locked in.
- 53:12I know what I know what to expect going forward and so
- 53:14that's 0. For sure.
- 53:17So for sure. And I will say with, so this is
- 53:21where and I don't know if anybody else had this problem.
- 53:24It was definitely hard to keep it like the list tight, right?
- 53:31Yeah. Like it.
- 53:33This is one and I like thinking about it in 45 50.
- 53:37So yeah, yeah. And they're like knockout of
- 53:41parks but I do. I know that I do like this one.
- 53:43It's not like so earlier. When we were saying, like, if we
- 53:47say, especially their, two of you are headed on your list of,
- 53:50it's definitely want to listen to, right?
- 53:53Oh, it is your turn Brook? No, I'm sorry.
- 54:04Okay, hold on. Give it to me.
- 54:07Just say it, just say the words. Week I got it.
- 54:12So do I. Holy shit.
- 54:17All right, so what's your reason for this on baby because it is
- 54:22all about like Temptation and that, you know, you But that's
- 54:28okay. It's okay to be, you know,
- 54:31tempted by things and it's okay that, you know, nobody's
- 54:36perfect. And it's one like again.
- 54:40You sing it and you just feel better about yourself, better.
- 54:46Oh, I'm just like the musicians so I will say if it's
- 54:54piggybacking off a hundred bad days, it's the same kind of
- 54:58Mantra where it's like I've had plenty of times where like I
- 55:02should be stronger. I love that alky baby and I'm
- 55:07okay with it. Cuz we are going to get through
- 55:10this all together, it's fun, morose all it when when you sing
- 55:17this song, like when you're singing it and you're like and
- 55:19I'm weak, what's wrong with that?
- 55:21It takes to think this is like inside.
- 55:24First of all, obviously of going towards, if anybody doubtful
- 55:29that, anybody that listens to, this would also watch Southern
- 55:33Charm, but it's back to Craig of words like, what's wrong with my
- 55:37sewing? This is it.
- 55:39My salary, but it all back to being like what's wrong with
- 55:43that? And know, it's like a proud -
- 55:45there's nothing wrong with. This is the kind of song where
- 55:48you find a dead body via erotic asphyxiation and the songs
- 55:53playing in the background. No one said that.
- 55:55I did know what is condoning. You know what?
- 55:59Justin quiet for one second. What's wrong with my erotic
- 56:02asphyxiation? That's the clip, put it in the
- 56:10reals. So for me, this, this song is,
- 56:27first of all like sound-wise, you know, it's on brand, like
- 56:30it's stuck. It's stuck out.
- 56:32Like as a yeah, I gotta I gotta have this.
- 56:34This one but two kind of humor. You know, we're being repetitive
- 56:37here but I want to hammer the point home of I'm weak.
- 56:41And what's wrong with that? Like sure he's saying that but
- 56:47he's also telling you that it's okay.
- 56:49If you are like, wait we all are of right.
- 56:53We're all week about something and, you know, you know there's
- 56:58different ways to deal with that weakness.
- 57:00Like, are you just okay with it? If you're okay with it, that's
- 57:03cool. If Something you want to improve
- 57:05on? Are you improving on it?
- 57:06But like all of us are weak. And I love all the examples are
- 57:12not just like a narcotic or alcohol.
- 57:16Love is also in play. Here you fucking temptation of
- 57:22sexual necess is a thing. Here I do love all that.
- 57:26Yeah. Alright, so back around to me,
- 57:29huh? Yeah buddy.
- 57:32I feel like week was going to be the next one.
- 57:34So, I love that. I'm just going to be the guy
- 57:42because we're so close. Now that I feel like we all have
- 57:45it. I'm just going for the fucking
- 57:47out strings. I'm the quantum verse over here,
- 57:50baby, with this one. I love the title and it just,
- 57:57wow. I'm not crazy.
- 57:59I don't have it you fucking idiot.
- 58:08That's okay. We're at that point where yeah,
- 58:13probably. Yeah, honest to God as a big fan
- 58:18as I am. I don't know what that song is.
- 58:23Fuck, I know this song. I mean he's wow.
- 58:31Oh yeah, but if I could hear them sing it.
- 58:39Ha ha. Well didn't you know this is a
- 58:42jrz. Oh God, I just like that opening
- 58:50line like I'm afraid of clowns. And I'm not crazy.
- 58:53Like that's I think that's fun. I like that.
- 58:56Well I mean it's a fun time too. So all right.
- 58:59Zach forget that oh you put it on me, I have so many.
- 59:04You know what, I'm going to piggyback off of you.
- 59:06Okay, Netflix trip. I've I have it.
- 59:12Okay. Okay, I have this song because
- 59:16there is something about where we came from.
- 59:19Where Netflix had a point was that she Aiming service.
- 59:23Oh yeah. And I love the idea that this is
- 59:27a couple or even his life, he's just actually going through
- 59:33watching things on Netflix. I live that life.
- 59:38That was my life from until like 2000 till I get with Brooke.
- 59:45You know what I mean? We're like I If you were like,
- 59:47when did you date? So and so oh probably during
- 59:50Buffy season 4, You Know What I Mean?
- 59:55Don't You spit it out? Don't you spit out on me?
- 59:58But that's, I know exactly what this feeling is.
- 1:00:02Maybe not necessarily the Netflix trip, but that was me.
- 1:00:08All right. All right.
- 1:00:10Brooke. World's smallest violin.
- 1:00:13Got it. Got it.
- 1:00:16Are we? I thought Justin this was going
- 1:00:29to be the one you hated because it's to take factor.
- 1:00:33I wouldn't know what that's fine but when you were going around
- 1:00:37being like it's the popular one, this was a trend that one point.
- 1:00:41And again I love this song. Before that happens, I just use
- 1:00:46it to my advantage to get the name of AJ are out there, huh?
- 1:00:51But I do love the how it like, it has a fun little beat to it.
- 1:00:57It has instruments, you normally don't get in pop songs and then
- 1:01:02that the end with that just and it gets faster shit.
- 1:01:07Sounds like we fucking bro I get faster when I go.
- 1:01:13Will you think of it? It.
- 1:01:15I fucking love it, you love it. Yeah, I mean again, I just feel
- 1:01:21like I'm almost on a repeat of like, just it's one of those
- 1:01:25that when it pops up its I'm just ready to go, right?
- 1:01:29Like, it's it makes you just so happy and excited.
- 1:01:35It does this Bears repeating because there's plenty of, I
- 1:01:41mean, you see there's been very few that have gone to the It's
- 1:01:46right. It's weird to say on these dense
- 1:01:49for, for dance records. But there are songs that like
- 1:01:54stick out from those dense records and like, you know, when
- 1:01:59you're looking for the cuts, got to pick the ones that stick out.
- 1:02:03And this one stuck out for all those reasons that you mentioned
- 1:02:06it. There's it's fun.
- 1:02:07It makes you want to get up and go, there's different
- 1:02:11instruments and again like I want to point out, nine songs
- 1:02:14through here. Right?
- 1:02:16And do any of those nine. Really sound the same, like, no
- 1:02:21other other than they sound like a Jr, right?
- 1:02:25Yes, they're not boring. They're the same band, you never
- 1:02:28played differently. It's funny.
- 1:02:30I've never thought about it like that and just until you said
- 1:02:34something about it being like they don't sound the same which
- 1:02:37I've always thought, but when you hear it you know it's AJ are
- 1:02:43like it is crazy. Yeah.
- 1:02:46I think we're going to be putting it Jr.
- 1:02:48On some people's maps tonight. I'm just saying if we're the
- 1:02:52only episode that ever come out of this fucking series, even
- 1:02:56producer Joe who's been on 122 fucking episodes.
- 1:03:01If he can't even get a top, ten unanimously we are so I still
- 1:03:08have like six. I think that somebody's there
- 1:03:11is. There is a chance that so SLI,
- 1:03:15we've never had 10. We've also never had more than
- 1:03:1910, which would mean cutting from the unanimous songs.
- 1:03:22So we've never had that either. That is very much on the table,
- 1:03:25right now. You gotta tell me what's
- 1:03:27happening, baby. You gotta tell me what's
- 1:03:29happening, right? Okay, okay, I don't know about
- 1:03:32you guys, but I'm horny, I'm gonna have, like, I'm gonna have
- 1:03:37a meltdown having to cut one if we have to go there.
- 1:03:39So let's get it. Let's get it together.
- 1:03:41All right, let's so we're back around to me will do A couple
- 1:03:45more rounds here and we'll dump out depending on how it goes.
- 1:03:48Like this is going very well but you know all right I'm going to
- 1:03:52do the song. You know we've been sitting on
- 1:03:55it this long and at this point it's okay.
- 1:03:57If if we don't have it but like this is the other song that I
- 1:04:01hated going in. Whoo.
- 1:04:03Hearing it within the in the confines of the record and
- 1:04:06hearing it hearing it with everything else as I go.
- 1:04:10Okay. You know, it's not what I
- 1:04:12thought it was sober up. Sober up, good song.
- 1:04:18We have it. We have it.
- 1:04:19Yeah we have it, we have kids shit and I'm kind of annoyed
- 1:04:25because he's the one that I want to say next is a possibility
- 1:04:29which is like stressing me out. That's not gonna work it out.
- 1:04:32Work it out. What work it out, it's fine.
- 1:04:35No I absolutely bro. Yep, I have sober up.
- 1:04:38We have it reported to each other.
- 1:04:41I can't believe you did it. Like I forgot I was supposed to
- 1:04:46say, like, oh yeah, I have it too.
- 1:04:48I was like, I have to process like I have it.
- 1:04:51Oh my God, you have it. Great.
- 1:04:53My next song though. Listen, listen.
- 1:04:56As a guy that plays the violin or a used to, this is prominent
- 1:05:01in the salt. Yeah.
- 1:05:02And again and Justin I don't know if you looked at the music
- 1:05:06videos primarily takes place in New York.
- 1:05:09Oh okay. Yeah.
- 1:05:11So this song annoyed me because like the, you know, Part in the
- 1:05:15I got over this the how's it Go Again, annoyed.
- 1:05:18The piss out of me the first time I heard it, not gonna lie,
- 1:05:20okay? Okay.
- 1:05:22But like when you listen to it within the in The Conch,
- 1:05:26confines of the record and you're listening to, I'm what
- 1:05:31Jesus Christ, 13 years sober, 13, 14 years.
- 1:05:35So, yes Point, yeah, you're, you're deep into it and so like
- 1:05:40when I first heard it, you know it just struck me as you know,
- 1:05:44whatever. Hearing it now that I'm I'm this
- 1:05:46far into it is just like it kind of took me right back to, you
- 1:05:51know, man I want I want to feel something again, I want.
- 1:05:55Can you please at some point you gotta ask for help, and that's
- 1:06:00right. And it is just, it's it's a good
- 1:06:04song. And if you're looking to get
- 1:06:05sober number one, like if you're listening to this and you're
- 1:06:08looking to get sober and you don't know where to start, you
- 1:06:09can reach out to me and I'm being dead.
- 1:06:11Serious talk to me, sometimes that How it starts.
- 1:06:15You just talk to somebody about it.
- 1:06:17I'm dead serious. Hit me up on Twitter at the
- 1:06:19hulkster Dead series or just talk to somebody.
- 1:06:26Get the ball rolling and go from there.
- 1:06:29But it just if you can help, if you can help somebody I don't
- 1:06:34know why. That that rubbed me the wrong
- 1:06:36way. The first time I heard it, but
- 1:06:38if you can help somebody with with a song like that then well
- 1:06:42II kind of feel like again it goes back to You like these are
- 1:06:45young guys but like if you're listening to it as an individual
- 1:06:50base, but you listen to the whole album like you're talking
- 1:06:54about, how many songs have they gone through with the hunter,
- 1:06:57bad Stories, the being weak? Like, it's obvious that someone
- 1:07:03within them or their family has gone through this.
- 1:07:07Yep, that's fair. So I do love the fact that you
- 1:07:11get both sides of the pendulum. Hmm.
- 1:07:14Get you get a we're having fun but also hey there is a dark
- 1:07:19path. You can go by again weeks just
- 1:07:23like that and I love that you just did that where someone you
- 1:07:30know there are people out there that can't handle that need to
- 1:07:34talk that need a friend and that's beautiful.
- 1:07:38Just beautiful thousand percent, huh?
- 1:07:42All right Zack. Wow.
- 1:07:44Well, we did 10. Yeah, it's also means I'm the
- 1:07:49closest without going over. Well, I mean, we've already got
- 1:07:5310, so, nobody gets the final say, shut up.
- 1:07:57Okay, then, we can just fuck about at this point.
- 1:08:02I'm going to go with pop up. Call my dad.
- 1:08:10Call my dad. Hey, I don't got one because Oh
- 1:08:15my God. What he was that big?
- 1:08:17But again, I go back to we've focused on songs that have been
- 1:08:24sung by Jack, think of like dear winter and stuff like that, this
- 1:08:29song again, going back to the music video.
- 1:08:32The whole music video is, the band goes into a taxi, the two
- 1:08:37guys, go to bed and Ryan's here with his keyboard and he plays
- 1:08:43the keyboard. And on his own and he, oh my
- 1:08:47God, like he's singing to his debt.
- 1:08:51Like this is obviously a personal song.
- 1:08:55Once again, something that I love about this band is the fact
- 1:08:59that it could be 12, 13 tracks on the album.
- 1:09:03There could be one, two, three. That are very personal to one of
- 1:09:08the members and this song granted.
- 1:09:12Again, I don't have a father. Other that I grew up with, but
- 1:09:16when I initially heard this song, I thought of my kids and I
- 1:09:21want to always be there for my kids.
- 1:09:24So, for me, this song hits on several levels, you guys must
- 1:09:29feel stupid. I'm not having it on your list.
- 1:09:35I'll say this. All right.
- 1:09:36When you know, I was listening to the band before you guys came
- 1:09:41in this song came up and I was like fuck I don't think good one
- 1:09:48have this one and I mean you know, like you look at you look
- 1:09:51at our list already and it's just like, any look at the songs
- 1:09:54that I have left is like where you know, what do I cut to make
- 1:09:57room for that? But that was absolutely on my
- 1:10:00first pass. And that, right?
- 1:10:02Absolutely Hard One to Hit them. It's a hard cut.
- 1:10:05Yeah. All right, Brooke.
- 1:10:09All right, so this is where I was like bottom 20, which is
- 1:10:14funny, but when we hit the last one, the song that is on.
- 1:10:20Mine is bummer Leo and I got it. So do I owe my wife.
- 1:10:26Fuck is Brooke nailing every song because I know good music.
- 1:10:32You do know, good music. You have not hit.
- 1:10:34I think this might be a first. I don't think you've hit the
- 1:10:36bin. Wow.
- 1:10:40Yeah, because I think the only one that wasn't all three me and
- 1:10:42you had. Yeah.
- 1:10:43So you have literally had a song in every single box.
- 1:10:47Me beautiful. What are?
- 1:10:52What are your thoughts on the number line?
- 1:10:55This is again, one that, okay? So this this is one that our kid
- 1:11:01when it comes on is like turn it up.
- 1:11:04This is the one that went viral. Remember?
- 1:11:07Yeah, so Again. Okay, I'm going to get my
- 1:11:11thoughts real quick. What I love about the song and
- 1:11:14why it's all my list is because this song came out during 2020
- 1:11:19and we were all getting ready for a cool summer land.
- 1:11:22And then we went into bummer land and I love that the music
- 1:11:25video kind of plays off of that Justin just so you can know and
- 1:11:30I think it's on it's got to be thrilled me that I put it on its
- 1:11:34on our Instagram told me podcast Network and I had the video
- 1:11:40underneath him and it's the course bummer, land here.
- 1:11:44I am. And I need a bubble and
- 1:11:48immediately when they all start hitting the drums in the music
- 1:11:52video, my son hits. Yeah, the drumbeat.
- 1:11:56So he knows the correlation of when the song Big.
- 1:12:00He gets the beat of it. Oh this song God is phenomenon.
- 1:12:05Comes to pop song of the Year, mmm-hmm woven.
- 1:12:13So this not only is this a first?
- 1:12:18There is no, they're still gameplay.
- 1:12:21I think what we're going to do is we're going to dump out here
- 1:12:24because okay as it is we already have to make cut from from
- 1:12:28unanimous like that's right unprecedented.
- 1:12:31So let's let's just try to wrap it farthest.
- 1:12:35So here's what I got left. I've got, I'm ready.
- 1:12:39Right? I got that.
- 1:12:41Oh shit. Go back up to the top here.
- 1:12:47I was hoping these would all die.
- 1:12:51Yeah, oh my God, you do too. Yeah.
- 1:12:54Oh no. Oh yeah.
- 1:12:57Oh yeah. This is gonna give this is gonna
- 1:12:59get ugly. All right, moving on the good
- 1:13:03part. I don't have that now.

- 1:13:35Yeah. Yeah to be right?
- 1:13:36Yeah, okay. I mean it's cool that we're
- 1:13:39getting them but they're dead they don't think still zero
- 1:13:42chance. Let's see.

- 1:13:53Yes, no, don't worry about it. All right, next.
- 1:14:03This is my last one Adventure is out there.
- 1:14:07Now Now so the good news is here I go no matter what else we got.

- 1:14:22good then yeah that's all I have left.

- 1:17:17Bomber land. Went to a bummer.
- 1:17:21Okay, bang. Bang smallest violin worlds.
- 1:17:29Okay, and we less said way less. Okay, I have thoughts.
- 1:17:34Go for it. if I was a man doing this, I would say, I'm not
- 1:17:42famous birthday, and Entertainment should go
- 1:17:51honestly. Hmm.
- 1:17:53Okay, that's me. That's me.
- 1:17:54Ain't. And not only say that is because
- 1:17:56when I look at the songs, we all produced We still have winter
- 1:18:03which has that like acoustic feel, huh?
- 1:18:08So we have that slower Pace, but I honest to God, I think fucking
- 1:18:15I'm not. Birthday birthday.
- 1:18:19Is the goofiest of all of them. Yeah, if we're going to be real,
- 1:18:23I think birthday has to go. That's my one thing.
- 1:18:27There we go. I said it has got to go.
- 1:18:29I don't know how you feel about it Brooke but like, that was the
- 1:18:32one I'm looking. I was looking at, I was like
- 1:18:35it's you know, again you know, we broke records here.
- 1:18:38But like yeah. Right.
- 1:18:39I feel like birthday party of these 13 easily as the one
- 1:18:44that's like. Yeah, you know, you did good.
- 1:18:47Obviously, yeah, three of us. Have obviously.
- 1:18:49Yeah, it's a cute song with that.
- 1:18:52Okay. Oh, and you know what I love
- 1:18:54about that, I got the choose that so because there's 13, I
- 1:18:59think all of us should be able to choose one to go.
- 1:19:04Yeah. So like you get one Brooklet one
- 1:19:08and then we have a top ten. All right, so I'm going to let
- 1:19:10you go next Brooke because I need to I need to think about
- 1:19:15why would you do that? Okay, so this is this is
- 1:19:22literally my fear at the moment. I am everybody to understand
- 1:19:25that I'm looking at the names of these songs, right?
- 1:19:29And need a little taste of each, we're not going through each
- 1:19:33fucking song. Song for you tonight.
- 1:19:35I didn't say that but not a man of them.
- 1:19:37I'm like, what are we even doing?
- 1:19:41It's a podcast. That's not a fucking listen,
- 1:19:46Okay? So I say that, I say that but
- 1:19:49there's some that like I know what it is.
- 1:19:51Okay, so if I'm looking at the ones where I'm like, what song
- 1:19:54is that? Yeah, and I feel like I might
- 1:19:56kick myself later. Okay, it does like the
- 1:20:02entertainment. It's, that's the entertainment.
- 1:20:04You're right. Yeah, very fun jam and again you
- 1:20:09did well obviously. Yeah yeah.
- 1:20:12Okay we're good. Yeah okay.
- 1:20:16Now Justin oh get rid of the song.
- 1:20:20Alright so my initial thought was as we were getting close
- 1:20:26like sober up would be the one that I'd be.
- 1:20:28I'd be serving up here, but I think what I'd rather do.
- 1:20:34You know, it's going to look chalky now because it's one of
- 1:20:38the ones that you threw out there.
- 1:20:40Zack is I'd rather keep like the songs with meaning, like I'm not
- 1:20:47famous as a great tune. And again, obviously, we all
- 1:20:49thought, so because it was unanimous, right?
- 1:20:52But like there's deeper meaning to all the other 10 songs.
- 1:20:56I'm not famous is just hey, man, I don't have haters.
- 1:20:59I'm not famous. Yeah.
- 1:21:04Like you said, like so many of them have a deeper, I look at
- 1:21:09all the songs and I would actually say, the only one in
- 1:21:12competition against it is bang, but because bang is that pop
- 1:21:18sensation, it kind of deserves to be up there.
- 1:21:21Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right.
- 1:21:23So while let's do, I'm not famous, okay?
- 1:21:27What how guys, this is the hottest fucking begging AJ, our
- 1:21:32first time ever seen So, alright.
- 1:21:35So here's our final 10. And then then we'll turn the
- 1:21:39heat up a little. I'm ready.
- 1:21:40Week sober up. 100 bad days. Don't throw out my Legos.
- 1:21:44Dear winter. Bummer land.
- 1:21:45Bang world's smallest violin way Lissette now Zach.
- 1:21:48Wow of those ten. Yeah.
- 1:21:51Which one's the 1 and the 1 song.
- 1:21:55Yeah. And you know to Parlay this to
- 1:21:58Brooke what this song is is we get one song to define the band
- 1:22:03to get somebody into them. And furthermore, it will be the
- 1:22:07band's representation in the best of episode, which means
- 1:22:11Fredo has to listen to it. Wow.
- 1:22:15Fredo, you know, I'm actually going to go with way less sad.
- 1:22:23Mmm, way less sad. I feel has meaning behind the
- 1:22:28words and has the most pop Centric voice of like, Beats and
- 1:22:35instruments. So I feel like you get that up
- 1:22:39and you get the meaning. What do you think?
- 1:22:43Brooke. What about you Brooke?
- 1:22:47What happens? If we all don't agree, we have
- 1:22:50to come to some sort of consensus.
- 1:22:52Oh, I love a fight. I'll beat you all in arm
- 1:22:55wrestling. I agree with that.
- 1:22:56Like, that's one that I would say.
- 1:23:01Now one that I would say really? Yeah, here's one of the reasons
- 1:23:05I agree. Oh so let's let's if you're like
- 1:23:11me. Right, coming into this and you
- 1:23:14already have preconceived notions about bang and sober up,
- 1:23:18you know, hopefully people are more open-minded than I was when
- 1:23:23I heard those songs. But like, look, let's assume I'm
- 1:23:26the Avatar and if we offer up sober up or Hang they turn off
- 1:23:32immediately. All right, right.
- 1:23:33If we offer them up whele said, it is something they're not what
- 1:23:39they're expecting. Now shows a different side to
- 1:23:42them, but also the same side of them, right?
- 1:23:45And also, most importantly, hopefully makes them way less
- 1:23:49sad. Agreed.
- 1:23:52We can turn your frown upside down baby, so let's do you
- 1:23:56agree. Yeah, I agree.
- 1:23:59Holy He shit. I like the idea of not going
- 1:24:03chalk with this band, right? I absolutely love.
- 1:24:08Because again if someone that listens to this, you write all
- 1:24:12these down. If the first song you listened
- 1:24:14to is way less said you go, holy shit.
- 1:24:16This is Pop and has a message, then you get to go through the
- 1:24:21rest of the fucking 10 that we did, which has winter, which has
- 1:24:25100 days, which has his sober up week, even I'm ready.
- 1:24:30D, which is just pop fun. Like you get everything, fuck
- 1:24:34you, get bang, which is Platt, fun bang.
- 1:24:37So like, hey, DDP bang, okay, I love this, I fucking love it, I
- 1:24:46can't believe this happened. All right, so let's do it.
- 1:24:49Let's lock it in. Oh wait, lock it in lock me.
- 1:24:53Here it is. All right, so weightless at is
- 1:24:58our number one. I'm ready.

- 1:26:03Brooke did not hit the bin once I'm fairly certain, you know, if
- 1:26:11somebody knows of another instance where that happened,
- 1:26:15you know, please correct me. But as to my knowledge, who I've
- 1:26:18been there for every episode that has yet to happen, so
- 1:26:22Brooke did not hit that you have.

- 1:26:37tears. And then we also got 13 13 damn
- 1:26:42songs Through unanimously. This is how we ever had to make
- 1:26:46cuts from the unanimous songs that's fucked up.
