Hootie & The Blowfish · Deprogrammed Music Podcast

0:32
It's deprogram the podcast where we try to get you into a band.
0:37
That's right. We've done all the work for you.
0:39
All you have to do is press play and listen.
0:41
And you could say I'm band curious.
0:44
I've I've tried to get better at at saying what this podcast is.
0:47
I am band curious. My friends like bands.
0:51
I want to know why they like the bands.
0:53
And to do that, I go dive head first into said band and then
0:59
we're going to talk about it. And on the other side of this,
1:01
there's going to be a top ten circuit list for you to get into
1:04
the band as well. And today, today we could let
1:11
her cry. We could say it's time for it to
1:16
to you only want to be with me. Yeah.
1:20
I don't know, Today we're talking about Hootie and the
1:22
Blowfish. And we were talking a little bit
1:25
about this beforehand, Christian, about how like you're
1:27
kind of you're really kind of falling into these these bands
1:31
where it's like we're defending their honor in a way.
1:35
Like it's, it's like a revisit. And hey, these guys shouldn't be
1:39
the joke that they are. So talk to me about Hootie and
1:42
the Blowfish. Yeah, that's true.
1:45
I mean, it really makes me question my taste in music than
1:48
I seem to be on a load of these bands.
1:52
But yeah, hooting the blowfish. So I back in 94, I was in
2:00
university and well, I mean 94, what a great year for music.
2:05
And someone who had similar taste to me said, Oh, song of
2:11
the year, what hootie the but I won't say which song now, but
2:16
song the Hootie and the blowfish.
2:17
And I was like, OK, that sounds interesting.
2:19
And I listened to it and I was like, wasn't really that wasn't
2:24
really that kind of interested initially.
2:26
And then I don't know how, but I got played the album.
2:30
It might be on like a road trip or something.
2:32
And one of my my friends got got the album and then listening to
2:37
the album and kind of other songs other than that song.
2:41
And you'd probably guess, you know which there's probably only
2:44
two songs it could be, but have a listen to the album.
2:48
It it kind of tapped into a, a sort of a sub genre that I
2:51
liked. So I was very much an
2:53
alternative kid. I'd sort of come from pop to
2:57
metal to the grunge era and that kind of grunge and post grunge.
3:03
But there was a kind of a the little, there was a little
3:05
pocket of my taste that that was a little bit softer, a little
3:07
bit more melodic. And I'm not entirely sure what I
3:12
call it, but I'm thinking sort of Counting Crows, Gin Blossoms.
3:18
It was sort of perhaps what I might call Jingle jangle, sort
3:23
of yeah, R.E.M Teenage fan club, that kind of melodic acoustic
3:31
guitar driven semi alternative rock.
3:34
And it really fitted in with with with those bands and I I
3:37
really liked it. Interestingly enough, talk about
3:41
Jingle jangle. That phrase was of course
3:44
famously used in Mr. Tambourine Man by the Birds and I learnt
3:48
this morning, apparently David Crosby sings back in vocals on
3:52
Hold My Hand. So a little bit of a little bit
3:54
of a full, full full circle there.
3:58
So yeah, it they, they, they kind of fell into that
4:00
wheelhouse, as I say, very much alongside Counting Crows, Jim
4:03
Blossoms, you know, that kind of melodic semi alternative stuff.
4:09
I mean, alternative for us in the UK because they weren't
4:11
particularly mainstream here. Because as I've talked on
4:14
previous episodes, mainstream at that time in the UK was more
4:17
Brit pop and dance. I think it may have been a bit
4:21
more mainstream and a bit less alternative for you guys in in
4:24
the States. But yeah, so that's that's kind
4:28
of how I got into them. For me, you know, it's very much
4:33
about Darius's voice. I mean, I've said before, I
4:37
think I said about Elizabeth Stokes and the best, you know,
4:40
she could sing the phone book and I'd listen.
4:42
And it's very much the same with him.
4:43
I absolutely love his voice. But that's not to take anything
4:47
away from the rest. The band is musicians.
4:48
I really like Mark as a guitarist.
4:52
The drummer is a, you know, is a is a musician's drummer.
4:54
I think he he actually apparently wrote quite a lot of
4:57
Hold My Hand or perhaps all of it, I don't know.
4:59
He definitely had a strong involvement in writing that,
5:02
which obviously one of the biggest hits and a Dean typical
5:06
bassist. He's the quiet man, but he, you
5:08
know, he does that and he underpins the kind of the rhythm
5:10
section. So I love Darius and I love his
5:13
voice, but yeah, I think they were a really good, real rounded
5:17
band as well, so. So we talked briefly as you came
5:24
in, Corey, like the duality of this show.
5:28
Dude, this panel. Last did suicidal tendencies,
5:31
the two guys got together for suicidal tendencies.
5:34
That episode gave birth to this. And literally we were talking
5:38
about it afterwards and and Christian threw out Hootie and
5:40
the blowfish and you're like, yeah, it it's funny how this
5:44
works out, but talk to me about what makes you say yes to Hootie
5:47
and the blowfish. Well, to Christian's point,
5:49
Darius Ruckers would get you there, right?
5:52
And I kind of like, so growing up in the in the 90s, not to
5:56
date either of us Christian, but Hootie was kind of like, that's
6:02
what you heard at the pool in the 90s, but you didn't know
6:06
what the hell was going on. You didn't understand what
6:09
Hootie and the blowfish was. But somehow everybody heard
6:12
cracked rearview in like their parents car.
6:16
So that's kind of the genesis of it.
6:19
And then you realize kind of later on in life who they are
6:21
and where they came from. Darius Rucker, Miami Dolphins
6:24
fan, Poor dude. So they just kind of, when it
6:29
came up in conversation, we were doing tendencies.
6:32
It just made me think of like being a like a loser preteen at
6:37
the pool, kind of just trying to look cool on the diving board
6:40
and this dude's playing in the background.
6:42
So I was like, yeah, what the hell, I'll give it a shot.
6:44
And it was fun, man. It was fun.
6:46
Like this was kind of, it wasn't like a discovery for me, but a
6:50
lot of the stuff I haven't heard other than the main ones.
6:53
So it was cool to kind of dive in a little bit.
6:56
So I'm somewhere right with you guys.
6:58
I'm I I think I'm I'm for sure a hair older than you.
7:02
Christian and I are probably somewhere around the same age.
7:05
But like this, this band was like everywhere for a minute at
7:13
one point. So like while they weren't
7:17
necessarily at the the forefront of like you were saying, like
7:21
you don't really know what's going on, but but you're aware.
7:24
Who are these dudes? Who are these dudes?
7:26
And I mean, you know, only want to be with you hits and, you
7:30
know, it's everywhere and you you kind of dig it.
7:32
And then Beavis and Butthead get a hold of the band and with a
7:36
little love plop plop pants on tenderness.
7:39
And you know, like, of course I love that because I love Beavis
7:44
and Butthead, but also like they're ripping them apart.
7:48
But it's also like kind of it show at that time it's it was
7:53
kind of like Weird Al doing your song.
7:55
Like it shows that you made it. If Beavis and Butt are making
7:58
fun of your band, you've made enough of a splash that MTV is
8:02
showing your videos enough that they want Beavis and Butt to
8:06
make fun of it. So much like everybody in
8:10
America and apparently Wales, I, I listened to crack review, I
8:15
think I had it on cassette and like, I wore that thing out and
8:19
then like, I moved on. I just was like, whatever.
8:22
I, I, I vaguely remember Fairweather Johnson hitting the
8:26
airwaves. I I vaguely remembered like the
8:28
roll out of it and everybody kind of being like done with
8:31
them, yeah. Whatever.
8:33
Right. And because kind of to your
8:35
point, Christian, they weren't alternative here, like they got
8:39
pitched as alternative, but they're really got to to
8:44
localize it. They're the point.
8:46
They're not 90. 6 Pull music. Yeah, exactly pull music.
8:50
It's nine. It's suburban Caucasian outdoor
8:53
activities. And that's exactly, you know,
8:57
and we'll talk deeper about this while when it comes up, but I
9:04
feel like only want to be with you is both the best and worst
9:07
thing that ever happened to them.
9:08
And we will definitely dive into that.
9:12
But yeah, man, like so when this comes up, I'm like sure, I'll
9:17
take the dive. And Christian goes, it's only
9:19
like whatever it was 6 records. So like.
9:21
It's like. 60 songs. It's like, OK cool.
9:23
Like I can finally fill in the gaps of what the hell Hoodie has
9:29
been up to. Because of course, like
9:31
everybody, I thought Darius was Hoodie and the band was the
9:34
Blowfish. Right, right.
9:36
That's what we all thought, everybody. 99.99% of the
9:42
population, yeah, I think that. So I mean, you know, they did it
9:46
to themselves, which I guess you know, before we get to the next
9:49
part of the conversation, Christian, I we have to address
9:52
this while we're here. Is that part of what makes them
9:55
the joke, do you think being called?
9:57
I don't think, yeah. I don't think it helps.
10:00
I mean it, Yeah. I mean, I don't like the name
10:05
myself. I mean, I don't know whether you
10:08
know the story, but apparently it was too college for it.
10:10
So Darius and Mark met in college, and they two guys that
10:15
they knew, I don't know if they were friends or just other
10:17
people in college. There was a guy with like really
10:19
massive round glasses, which made him look like an owl, and
10:22
another guy with really big puffy cheeks.
10:25
So like, the owl was Hootie and the other guy was the Blowfish.
10:28
It was two guys on campus that they just named.
10:30
And then whatever possessed them to go, yeah, let's do.
10:33
You might ban that. I mean, it's one of those, isn't
10:36
it? It's it's like you call yourself
10:38
something when you're trying to make it because you'll get
10:41
attention. And it probably did get some
10:43
attention. And then when you actually do
10:44
make it, you go, oh, God, why do we call ourselves that?
10:47
Yeah. It's like Lynyrd.
10:48
Skynyrd. Yeah.
10:50
Yeah. It's some of some of the names
10:51
that Nirvana kind of trialled. I can't, I can't remember off
10:55
the top of my head, but you, you read about some of the names
10:58
that Kurt wanted to call Nevada until they sat on Nevada.
11:00
It's like, I'm so glad they didn't because it would have
11:04
been, you know, hideous. But yeah, it's.
11:08
Yeah. I don't think the name is a bit
11:10
kind of goofy. Yeah.
11:15
Talking about, you know, only that's really interesting what
11:18
you say about only one want to be with you being the best and
11:20
the worst in the hand. I think that's absolutely right.
11:22
I mean we talk about this band kind of having like a backlash
11:26
and I just think it they fall in a category of bands where it
11:31
seems like the worst thing that you can do is have one or two
11:34
absolutely massive singles because then everybody rails.
11:38
It's what we we talk about often on this on this podcast, which
11:42
is over the overplayed effect, which is what turns turns us off
11:47
actually objectively good songs. And I think, you know, we've
11:51
done an episode on about a year ago live, you know, like
11:55
lightning crashes or whatever. And then, oh, it's the lightning
11:58
crashes guys. Oh, it's the throwing copper
11:59
guys when actually digging under the surface.
12:02
I personally think they're a really good band.
12:04
And I think we I think we kind of brought that out in, in that
12:07
episode. Other bands, which I'm not as
12:11
keen on, but I think similar sort of thing has have happened
12:13
to to a sort of Smash Mouth, Sugar Ray, maybe.
12:17
I, I mean, both of those bands I think had had had big, big,
12:21
massive singles on there. Everybody kind of going, you
12:24
know, and I I think it's almost like the worst thing you could
12:26
do is explode and but then not be able to, it doesn't happen to
12:31
everybody, but, you know, not be able to kind of then get away
12:35
from that backlash of are there that, that you're hearing them
12:39
everywhere. And then that becomes the kind
12:42
of the the, the weight around their neck.
12:44
You're hearing them everywhere. So suddenly everybody turns
12:46
against you now. And I think that's that's what
12:48
happened. And sometimes it kind of gets in
12:51
the way of of, of what the band is actually about.
12:54
But yeah, coming back to your point, that name difficult to
13:00
difficult to take them seriously.
13:02
So you, you pointed this out, Christian, right before we went
13:05
on like because this is different.
13:07
Like it's semi discovery for both Corey and I, whereas you're
13:11
kind of the the fan here kind of stepping up going, hey, let's
13:15
talk about this band. So when when it comes time to
13:19
start putting the your list together again, it's it's only
13:22
60 songs. Is this something that kind of
13:25
comes to bit together quick or is this something you really
13:28
have to work on? It was one of those where where
13:33
I had too many sometimes. Sometimes there's like 10/12/14
13:40
locks and then you're kind of filling the gaps it with this
13:44
one I had. So my my kind of the way I work
13:50
is I give everything a rating out of five and then I see like
13:56
how many fives, how many fours have I got?
13:58
Does that take me to the 20? OK, then what are the best
14:00
threes with this? I had more than 20 fours and
14:04
fives. So I am a fan of the band, but
14:10
in terms of actually a strategy, I didn't really have one.
14:14
It was kind of like it was. I liked what I liked.
14:19
Out of the records I the only one I didn't know as much.
14:26
I kind of jumped off before Looking for Lucky.
14:31
So I, I did try and get one in and I, I did succeed in getting
14:36
something in for, from looking for Lucky.
14:38
But no, it was just a, a meritocracy really.
14:41
It was, I knew the 1st 4 records really, really well and it was
14:44
just picking out the ones that stood out for me and then trying
14:47
to, you know, it's that horrible thing about getting down from,
14:50
from, from 23 or 24 when it's like choosing between your
14:54
children, you know? So you know, not to get too in
15:00
the weeds on it. Life.
15:01
Life happened for you, Corey. Like.
15:03
Yeah, a lot. This was, this was like a a
15:06
month long process. Yeah.
15:08
But once you sit, sit down for it, is it something that you
15:11
kind of blast through or? It was because I didn't have
15:15
any. This is probably the band that
15:17
I've done where I had the least emotional connection to it.
15:21
So I didn't really. I wasn't going to die on a hill
15:24
for any one of them, you know what I mean?
15:25
It wasn't like The Doors. It wasn't like Tendencies.
15:28
It wasn't like like the Goo Goo Dolls or whatever, Like it.
15:32
I went in, obviously, you know, the couple, you know the
15:34
handful. But other than that, it's just
15:35
kind of like, OK, what stands out to me, you know, and that's
15:38
kind of how I formulated my list.
15:41
I also didn't really know kind of what was like, you know,
15:46
what's out at the time, you know, the big ones.
15:48
But other than that, I had zero knowledge.
15:51
I shouldn't say 0, but very minimal.
15:53
So I just kind of was like, all right, if this jumps out to me,
15:56
I carry it on. And it, this was the easiest
15:58
list I've put together. And that's not knocking the band
16:02
at all. I'm not shitting on them.
16:03
I'm just saying I didn't have the emotional ties coming in
16:06
that like Christian does. Yeah.
16:08
And you know, with a band like this, that usually works in your
16:11
favor, especially, again, to keep pointing out there's only
16:14
60 songs. I I'll say this, I had a blast
16:20
in a breeze going through my first pass.
16:23
I was like, oh, man. Like, again, it's kind of just a
16:26
racing, you know, however many at this point, 35 years of
16:30
jokes, 30 years of jokes, however many, like, you know,
16:33
just going, oh, yeah, they stink.
16:36
You know the dolphins made him cry.
16:39
And still are, still are. He thought it was bad, then
16:42
Jesus Christ. But you know, like you, you get
16:46
into Fairweather Johnson and I was rather impressed with.
16:49
Fairweather Johnson, actually. And then, you know, the other
16:52
record, the, the couple records after that, I was like, OK, like
16:56
they settle into a groove and it's like, OK, I understand what
16:59
this band is. And then you pointed out Looking
17:01
for Lucky. When I got to Looking for Lucky,
17:05
I was like, oh shit. Like I got wrapped back in.
17:07
I was like, oh fuck, cool. Like, you know, not that I
17:10
wasn't paying attention for those other records, but like, I
17:14
just got roped back into a point of, OK, this is going to be
17:17
harder than I thought. Yeah, and it's also like, for
17:20
me, I was like, wow, Hoodie put out an album my junior year in
17:23
high school. What the hell was I doing other
17:26
than not paying attention clearly?
17:28
Not listening to the point. Not a lot, not by that point.
17:31
I'd moved on from the pool, you know.
17:34
So like, I don't know, like there was definitely like cuts
17:38
that were like, you know, and Christian and I were talking
17:42
about beforehand. Like ultimately the conversation
17:44
is how much of crack review gets through because it's it's it's
17:49
very much like live. It's very much like Everclear,
17:51
like where that is the jumping off point, period, end of story.
17:55
Like it is really a great record.
17:58
And to prove that point, I went to go, you know, as always, I
18:02
like to listen. I don't know why I do this to
18:04
myself. Try to listen to as much of the
18:06
playlist as possible before we record.
18:09
And so I'm listening to crack review and I'm looking at my
18:11
list and going. I don't have that.
18:13
I don't have that. Long shit I know dude.
18:18
So, you know, to echo your point, Corey, this was rather
18:23
easy, as easy as one of these things.
18:27
Exactly, and I think. That if you would have had, you
18:31
know, another day where you're like, doing exactly like what I
18:34
was doing, you would have been like, ah, shit, maybe I should
18:36
make. This Oh yeah, there were still a
18:37
couple that I was like, oh man. But it it wasn't.
18:41
I didn't have the horse in the race, so to speak.
18:45
This all makes for what could be an interesting list building
18:50
Christian it it seems like it seems like one of those things
18:55
where like it's going to be very agreeable, but we may not get a
18:59
lot through unanimously. So based on everything that's
19:03
been said so far, what do you think?
19:04
How how well do you think we're going to do here?
19:09
Yeah, this is the first, this is kind of the first one that I've
19:13
done where I'm kind of flying solo as as the fan with, as you
19:18
say, with that kind of prior knowledge.
19:20
So I, I mean, I don't know, I think that might lead to a low
19:27
score. I, I, I'm, do you know what I
19:31
mean? I don't, I don't know what you
19:33
guys are going to get out of the band and where you're going to
19:36
land. So I'm going to go 4.
19:42
OK, 4 still a good score. What do you think, Corey?
19:46
I'm. Going to go right down the
19:47
middle like Brandon Aubrey. Give me 5.
19:50
I mean it feels like 1234 at least seem to be like absolute.
20:00
Blocks. SO45 All right, I'm going to,
20:08
I'm going to double Christian because if I'm going to, if I'm
20:12
going to win, I want it be because we did really well.
20:15
I'm going to go with eight. Let's go, let's go.
20:18
Again, I don't want it with. I don't like that kind.
20:21
Of you're not supposed to say that.
20:22
Though, man. Oh, I say it all the time.
20:24
John always calls me out on it too.
20:26
He's like, you know, you can recuse yourself.
20:27
Yeah, I could, but I'm not. Right, right.
20:30
Play to win, man. You play to win the game, Herm
20:32
Edwards. Yeah, you play to win the game
20:36
now. Sometimes I do play to win, but
20:38
I don't kind of to your point, like with Hootie, I like, I feel
20:43
like, I feel like I'm going to be OK with most of the list
20:50
anyway. Like I'm not going to have a
20:52
huge fight. So you know, I'm I, if I'm
20:56
winning, it's because we did really well.
20:59
So that's, that's the way I, I tackle these situations.
21:02
In case anybody thinks, you know, like I don't know what
21:04
they they might think in that situation.
21:06
All right, we're going to take a quick pause, and on the other
21:09
side of it, we're going to play the game Jack.
21:10
It's deprogrammed. And with that, the name of the
21:20
game is deprogrammed. The three of us have combed
21:23
through the Hootie and the Blowfish discography and plucked
21:26
out 20 songs that we're now going to mash together in an
21:28
attempt to create a top 10 starter kit list for you.
21:31
In case you have never given this band the time of day, I'm
21:36
starting here because it's the only thing that makes sense.
21:39
Even though it isn't my favorite Hootie and the Blowfish song, it
21:42
is easily their most known. It was their breakout hit.
21:46
It is the dolphins making him cry.
21:48
It is the it's a really cool, fun video that shows them being
21:53
goofy. It's only want to be with you.
21:57
Yeah. Yeah, I do.
22:01
You know, you kind of have to, right?
22:02
Like, I know I'm, I framed it as, you know, it's the best and
22:06
worst thing that that ever happened to them.
22:08
And I'm perfectly content with this not being like the one.
22:14
As a matter of fact, I think it's probably better if it's
22:16
not. We'll get to that part
22:20
eventually. There we go.
22:23
Spotify caught up with me. But it is a great tune.
22:28
And I, you know, like, I'm glad that this show came around so I
22:31
could listen to it again and be like, Oh yeah, it has nostalgia
22:34
factor, but it also is just a fun tune.
22:38
Yeah. I think if they don't have this
22:41
song though, like yes, they don't break out the same way,
22:45
but I think we just look at them as like just a a good rock.
22:48
Band, yeah, more likely. It sounds like 1994 though.
22:51
Yeah, for sure. So much for sure.
22:54
Makes me want to go to Kmart dude.
22:57
What was? And I say because I I it nearly
23:01
didn't make it for me. I yeah it.
23:03
I get that. Too, It was it was a it was a
23:05
late entry because, and I think it was that kind of overplayed.
23:10
And what do you know what brought it back in is believe it
23:13
or not, I'd never seen the video until I started researching for
23:16
this. And like you said about poor
23:21
Darius Rucker, as a Dolphins fan, well, Full disclosure, I'm
23:25
a Dolphins fan. And genuinely, genuinely, for
23:31
years and years and years, I never realised it was that
23:34
Dolphins. I thought it, I thought it was
23:37
like the, the, the actual, the flake snowflake, the actual, the
23:46
actual Dolphins. Yeah.
23:50
And then I saw the video and I was like, Oh my God, it's the
23:52
GOAT. It's Dan Marino like and and
23:55
then the actual the cherry on top, Freddie Couples, who's like
24:00
one of my all time favorite golfers, as well as like who of
24:04
my favorite sportsmen in the same video.
24:07
Like what am I doing? And I know I shouldn't pick it
24:09
for the video, but it it made me kind of go back to the song and
24:13
rethink it. And I think stepping back from
24:16
that overplayed, I was like, yeah, as you said, Justin, it's
24:20
objectively, it's a really good song.
24:22
It's a really good song. And did you realise it got them
24:25
sued as well? Apparently, yeah.
24:29
You know, put on a little Dylan sitting on the fence and then
24:33
they reel off like practically a whole verse.
24:35
Apparently. There wasn't, There was, there
24:37
was a bit of a a bit of an argument about that.
24:42
I don't know. But that's what I read.
24:44
That's what I read. That's what I read anyway, but
24:48
no, it's a yeah it it is objectively good song.
24:52
And fun to revisit and what's funny, yes, like overplay
24:57
happened for sure in the 90s but mostly hoodie has kind of
25:04
disappeared off the face of the planet here.
25:06
My guess is my guess is we probably heard other Hootie and
25:10
the Blowfish songs like while we're at the grocery store that
25:13
we didn't realize was them. Oh.
25:14
Yeah, dude, I I perfect place for.
25:17
Him, yeah, I would bet like. Perfect place for.
25:20
Him so. Walmart Radio.
25:22
Yes. Now playing.
25:24
Now, now, come on. Come on.
25:29
All right, so there we go. Only want to be with you of
25:32
course is in Christian. OK, I've just at this point
25:38
realized that I have absolutely no idea of any what I'm going to
25:42
play. So I'm going to do a Justin and
25:47
I'm going to kick off with an album one track 1.
25:53
I think it's really overshadowed by because the three songs that
25:59
follow it are massive, massive singles, but I think it's a
26:03
great song on its own, right? Hannah Jane.
26:05
Yeah. Yep.
26:08
Yeah, it really kicked, really kicks off the album.
26:10
It's a bit of a rocker. It's got some good harmonies.
26:15
It's up tempo. Yeah, it's solid.
26:18
It kind of set my mind at ease because I'm not going to lie,
26:22
like when you guys said Hootie and the Blowfish, part of my
26:26
heart sunk. Like, I mean, I get it.
26:29
I kind of just went along. I.
26:32
Was like, OK, you know I'm not, you know I'm.
26:33
Glad to be on the ride though. Yeah, for sure.
26:36
And but you know, you for all the things we've already talked
26:39
about, like I was like, uh oh. Like how am I getting into?
26:42
Is this going to be one of those things where I'm going to be
26:44
like, I really don't like the band and I have to pretend,
26:47
which hasn't, to be fair, has I don't think happened, but maybe
26:52
once and usually I can explain why I didn't enjoy my time with
26:58
the band, but anytime you can kind of it confirmed what I
27:03
thought they were, but also told me that what I thought they were
27:08
isn't as bad as I thought it was.
27:10
If any of that makes sense. I know that's a lot of.
27:13
Words. No, it does.
27:14
It does. I think any.
27:15
I mean, as we've said, this album is it's pretty safe.
27:21
You know, it's pretty safe. Also, Hannah spelled the same
27:25
way forwards and backwards. Yes.
27:28
So here's my nugget of bullshit. Sometimes you see it like in
27:35
front of you on the screen. It's like, Oh yeah, yeah, I
27:38
never caught that. How?
27:39
About that, I wonder if people that named their daughter that
27:41
realize that. Maybe, maybe not.
27:43
Maybe. That's why they did it.
27:45
It's not my it's not my favorite song, but I just think it as as
27:49
I think, like I said, I haven't heard one song and not being
27:52
that keen and then started to hear the album, it was the same
27:55
kind of thing for me. It's like, oh, actually this
27:59
band sounds like I'll like them. And then, you know, the rest of
28:03
the album then kind of confirmed it.
28:05
So. Totally.
28:07
All right. No pressure, Corey 2 for two.
28:10
Yep, no worries. I'll hang out on correct review
28:13
as well because on a road trip in 94 with Hold My Hand, Yeah
28:19
man, yeah. No, not for me.
28:22
OK, All right. That was the that that was the
28:24
song I heard. And it just, I didn't see what
28:27
the what that what the fuss was about.
28:30
I'm sorry. I had to be.
28:30
Like that, I had to bust up the rhythm somehow.
28:32
That's what I do. It's still got a two though.
28:35
I think what happened here is kind of like a nostalgia play
28:40
for me. And I mean, I do like it, yeah.
28:43
I don't want to pretend like I don't.
28:47
Yeah, I don't dislike it. Yeah, it's just it just it's not
28:51
in my top 20. I honestly, if I was willing to
28:55
do the work, this is probably when I would have dropped for a
28:58
song that if it comes up later and if it ends up in the bin,
29:02
I'm going to be really upset. But like, right, I was like, oh,
29:06
why do I not have this song? So, you know, I don't know, man,
29:10
maybe maybe I will or won't regret my decision.
29:12
OK, it gets a 2. It gets to hang out, hold my
29:16
hand, nabs A2. All right, I'll be the first to
29:21
to jump away and I'm going to go to Fairweather Johnson and I'm
29:25
going to do the same thing of taking a track 1.
29:28
How about be the one? Got it.
29:36
No, not for me. OK, two and two.
29:42
Boom. I, I don't know, I think it's,
29:46
it contrasts with Hannah Jane as the other track, as the first
29:49
album track, but I don't, I don't know.
29:50
There's something not as positive about Be the One than
29:56
there is about Hannah Jane. I don't know.
29:57
It's I don't know what it is. I don't like the vibes.
30:02
OK, I'd have to I'd have to give it a re listen to to really
30:08
connect with what you're saying, but understandable.
30:11
All right, be the one gets a 2 Christian.
30:16
OK, Yeah, I think we have to do crack review first.
30:20
There's there's still some more there to to pick pick away at,
30:23
but we had to lead off for that, right?
30:26
I'm going to start dipping into my fives then, so I will.
30:32
I will also take fire with Johnson.
30:35
She crawls away. That is a no for me dog.
30:43
Unfortunately that's a no for me as well.
30:46
OK, that's a 5 out of five for me.
30:48
So see, I thought we might. We might miss.
30:51
We hate your song. So.
30:55
I get I I believe Miami's and that was like wearing white
30:59
pants, some Miami sweater, isn't it?
31:03
And part of the reason I love that it's a bit country.
31:09
I I love the bridge in that song.
31:11
The bit people know will know kind of goes.
31:16
Where were you yesterday? Now that my heart is wide or
31:20
free. I I love that bridges.
31:23
It's one of my favorite bridges. So that's kind of where I land
31:29
with a song. But you guys just put it in the
31:31
trash. Yes, we did.
31:35
That happens. That happens so much when I when
31:37
I kind of I I love a song and then it's just like, like just
31:42
ripped away from me. Yeah.
31:46
Me, my Corey and I over here going, yeah, hold my hand, yeah.
31:54
I mean, it's the trade-offs, you know, what are you going to do?
31:58
All right, Corey. All right, I'll make a leap as
32:02
well. I will be ambitious and jump
32:07
ahead to musical chairs. How about I will wait?
32:11
Yeah, I got. It Oh, I don't got it.
32:17
I'm great at getting almost there.
32:21
I mean, that's. Three Yeah, yeah, dude, I mean,
32:24
that would have been in my low 20s.
32:25
It would have been it would have been in the conversation.
32:28
It well, it was in the conversation for me, but it
32:30
didn't make it. But no, no, no complaints.
32:33
It's it's a good song and it's a good it's a good track 1.
32:37
All right, boom. All right.
32:43
I got very few answers to this question when I asked the
32:47
Internet, which I'm not all that shocked about, of course.
32:51
Like unfortunately it's kind of the reason we're doing this is
32:55
people kind of forgot about them.
32:57
So I'm going to go with I, I'm going to paraphrase them, but
33:03
essentially they said unequivocally this song.
33:06
So I'm going to go with Tuckerstown.
33:09
Got it. No.
33:16
No, All right. So we might be at 2:00, but we
33:21
might be. Which is crazy they said that
33:23
because I found out like this was through doing the research.
33:27
This was one of their more well known tracks.
33:31
Never heard it until. Yes, yeah, I think it was a
33:33
single, yeah. I wasn't at the pool that day.
33:37
You. Know right, I wasn't walking the
33:40
mall so sorry missed it. No Sabaros.
33:46
All right, Christian. Let me see if I can find
33:51
something that's going to objectively land, OK?
33:56
It is another one of my fives, but I don't know, it might stand
33:58
out. Might be giving a go.
33:59
I'll absolutely love this song. It's a beautiful song.
34:02
That means. We're going to hate it.
34:04
It's going it's going in the trash.
34:06
It is going in the trash. But hey, it's on my list.
34:09
So it's off self-titled, which is album #4 Innocence.
34:18
Yeah, I got it. I got it too.
34:20
Hey, yes. Yes.
34:23
I I would have, I would have been so upset if that wasn't at
34:27
least in the mix. Yeah, what a ballad.
34:34
Again, a great kind of mid late, the bit where it goes.
34:38
And I want you to know that you feel in your soul that someone
34:44
has come and gone. I love.
34:46
I love that bit. Yeah.
34:48
It's they do a lot of good slow, emotional kind of ballads.
34:56
And this is up there, possibly my favorite one.
35:01
I wish I would have taken more notes to elaborate your point
35:05
better. I was going to say if I'd heard
35:07
the song more than one time, I would be able to contribute
35:10
more. I can tell you I liked it.
35:13
Yeah, I mean it it great. It easily stuck out to me on the
35:17
on my first go obviously and then it stuck out again on the
35:20
second. So there was no taking it off
35:23
the list, so. Awesome.
35:25
Innocence is in boom. It also, you know, it was just
35:30
doing this just before I hit the pause button to to make the song
35:34
stop. But it it does the hoodie thing
35:37
like they do a lot of great harmonies.
35:39
Yeah, they do. And especially like at the end
35:44
of a a verse going into a middle 8 or going into like a bridge or
35:48
something. There's like really great
35:50
harmonies and like when I hit pause just now I think that kind
35:54
of is one of those things that I was looking for in a hoodie and
35:57
then blowfish song. So, all right, in a sense is in
36:02
and Corey? So.
36:06
There's still a couple heavy hitters, too.
36:08
Yeah, there are. I'll go off of self title as
36:12
well with Deeper side. Yeah, I got it.
36:16
Yeah. Hey.
36:19
All right, that's interesting. I didn't see.
36:22
LFG. No, me neither.
36:24
Yeah. I mean, you know, I had a
36:26
feeling that we were going to be able to find each other on Crack
36:30
Review, but I had to. I thought we were like the ones
36:33
and twos were all going to be in the later records, right?
36:36
Yeah. That's interesting.
36:42
Yeah, I am. Again.
36:44
There's a bit I, I don't. I think there's always a bit in
36:49
a sock that I that I love that I love a bit towards the end he
36:52
goes, I think it's I don't want to say it's a key change because
36:57
any kind of musos will kind of correct me, but it kind of feels
37:00
like a key change. But it goes, I would give most
37:02
anything and then it goes back up because to C and then it
37:07
lifts again and it goes into like an instrumental.
37:10
That's a really cool bet. But yeah, I like, I like deeper
37:12
side boom. Just like that, we're at
37:15
Christians 4. Like we can only go up from
37:17
here. I'm going to throw out a heavy
37:20
hitter because, you know, if we were lower, I would probably
37:24
play around in laters with you guys for for longer.
37:26
But the fact that we haven't gotten here yet, honestly, this
37:32
one could be the best of the three heavy hitters that have
37:35
come up so far. This is a song that I've come a
37:39
long way on. Let her cry.
37:43
Got it. Yep.
37:46
Yeah. I mean, what can you say about
37:52
it? Like it's it's kind of
37:54
beautiful. It's kind of sad.
37:57
It's kind of beautiful. It's kind of sad.
37:59
Right, right. You know, like I just kind of, I
38:02
don't know, like I don't feel like it had the the overplay
38:09
thing, even though it did get quite a bit of play.
38:11
Sure, sure. But I think there is something
38:14
to it that like it was this goes back to the only one who be with
38:18
you conversation. Like I think it's because only
38:22
want to be with you kept getting played right, That you've got
38:26
juice that you kind of like forget it.
38:29
Like I don't want to listen to this song.
38:32
So yeah. Yeah, I think there's some songs
38:36
where Darius has got that distinctive voice where where
38:40
kind of it becomes. We talked about this earlier
38:43
before, before recording the band kind of becomes a bit of a
38:47
parody of itself. And it's one of those voices
38:49
that people like, you know, you've done it yourself, Justin,
38:51
I don't want to be with you, you know, it's it people.
38:54
But so and I think songs like that, they don't necessarily
38:57
showcase Darius's voice. I think songs like Let Her Cry
39:00
do there are there are certain songs where you realise this boy
39:04
can he's got pipes, do you know what I mean?
39:06
He can, he, he can, he can really sing.
39:09
And this is a great example of that.
39:12
Absolutely. I think he nailed it.
39:13
I think I think this is we we all kind of alluded to like
39:19
Darius is what brings you in, right.
39:21
But like, this is the song that showcases them.
39:24
Yeah. Of of those huge hits.
39:26
Yeah. So, yeah, man, like, I don't
39:30
know this that one could be in the conversation for our number
39:33
one. I don't know.
39:33
We'll we'll get back to that. But boom, just like that.
39:36
Corey's five. No, wait, wait.
39:39
Yes, No 4. Yeah, 5:00 I've got 5. 2-3 I'm
39:46
pretty sure we're at 5:00 and I think I.
39:48
Just we are, yeah. Did I forget one cuz I'm I've
39:52
only got 4. Yes I did I forgot to mark
39:56
deeper side. I forgot to mark deeper side on
39:59
our on this list because I am so smart.
40:06
It'd be like that. Boom with with.
40:09
Still plenty of plenty of stuff out there.
40:12
There is. All right, let her cry.
40:15
Is in Christian where you want to go?
40:19
I could change the vibe, but it feels appropriate.
40:26
While we're on the subject of songs that showcase Darius's
40:32
voice, I think this is potentially an even better one
40:37
for that. I saw them live not that long
40:41
ago actually, after they'd, I think they had a big hiatus
40:45
after these records that we're talking about and they released
40:46
another one in 2019 and then they toured.
40:50
I think it was just after COVID. And I saw them live and this
40:55
song live was was immense. He just, just Darius.
41:00
I think it was one of those when the band goes off and has a
41:02
break, just Darius just singing this and it was absolutely
41:07
stunning. Goodbye.
41:12
Oh no. I second that.
41:17
Oh no. I apparently said goodbye to
41:20
goodbye. There's a dad joke.
41:26
Was that two Nos. I think so because I don't Oh,
41:28
there it is. There it is.
41:29
I was like, where is that? Well, and so here's the the
41:35
whole corrector view conversation, right?
41:37
Like objectively, you're right. Like I think we all agree.
41:42
Like, pretty much that entire record.
41:44
Yeah. Belongs here, so you know.
41:48
You could do the top ten list of just that record.
41:50
But yeah, at some point something's got to go.
41:54
And apparently hold my hand. Much more important for two.
42:02
Of us, yeah. And I feel so shitty because
42:05
he's got a Christian, has his beautiful personal anecdote of
42:09
seeing it live. And we're just like, yeah.
42:12
Hell with that man. We want the lame song.
42:16
Well, no, I mean again, it's like, I don't think we're wrong
42:20
withhold my hand, but like hold my hand is looking like the odd
42:24
man out already. Yeah, and that's OK.
42:27
That's fine. So, all right, interesting.
42:32
I, I don't know, I I've got others.
42:34
I wouldn't put it past you guys to to destroy my dreams several
42:39
more times for the next. That's what America does, dude.
42:42
We're very good at that. We're just dream crushers.
42:46
All right, like, like, like the dolphins?
42:48
Yes, there you go. The the the the football team,
42:52
not the animal. Yeah, not the, not the mammal.
42:55
No. All right, Corey.
42:59
OK, I'll do another Cracked review as well while we're here
43:05
with Running from an Angel. No.
43:09
No. Something had to go right it.
43:12
Did see see how you like it? Hey, I like being put in my
43:17
place every once in a while, so it's all good man.
43:21
Let's see for the record, 1234, there's 5 already in four twos,
43:27
so there's still room for as it is the all the twos would go in.
43:33
So as a matter of fact, all the twos would go in and then the
43:36
10th pick would be Corey's. But there's still plenty out
43:39
here, so welcome back to Fairweather Johnson.
43:45
How about old Man and me? Yep.
43:49
No. OK, This is I, I think this is
43:54
just coming back to like the two new guys hearing this band for
43:58
the first time, right? Yeah, but but do you know what's
44:01
interesting is that there's not been many ones.
44:06
Yeah, that that it you 2 have even though I've not, you've 2
44:12
have hit on a lot of things together.
44:15
So that's interesting. Yeah, so.
44:18
There's something there. Yeah, I mean, you know, we'll
44:21
tackle that as we get on to this next layer, but Old Man and me
44:25
still alive gets the 2. Christian OK, something again.
44:37
I'll try and pick something that's it's not necessarily my
44:40
favorite song but something I think stands out.
44:43
What about Michelle Post from musical chairs?
44:49
Negative for me. Nope, can't save you.
44:52
Sorry, but I feel like that's where we are.
44:57
That's fine. It's a handicap match.
44:58
Yeah, at this point. I mean, you know, I didn't, I
45:01
didn't have an anecdote. I didn't have, you know, it's,
45:05
it's, it's fine. I feel so bad though.
45:08
I'm, I'm, I'm playing, you know, I'm playing safe now.
45:10
I'm I'm putting forward songs that I don't give a shit about.
45:16
I don't want to be hurt anymore. Right.
45:18
Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
45:20
All right, Corey. All right, musical chairs
45:24
answer, man. Yeah, I got it.
45:28
Yeah, Holy. Shit.
45:30
All right. All right.
45:31
I didn't have that. I didn't have that down as a
45:34
unanimous. I mean, technically I think I
45:37
already said this. I wouldn't have either like
45:39
anything in the later I scrolled past it somehow.
45:47
There it is. It does the hoodie thing and for
45:54
that, you know, like it's it's like, yeah, I can be on board
45:59
with that answer, man. And just like.
46:01
That it's catchy, it's up tempo. Yes, there we go, just like
46:10
that. I mean, my 8 doesn't.
46:14
I mean, we probably won't get there, but it doesn't seem out
46:17
of the realm. No it doesn't.
46:20
Cuz now we got 6 and now I got to start stress stressing and
46:26
sweating about am I going to win?
46:28
And we officially have a conversation now because
46:31
something's something is going to have to get cut because we've
46:34
got 5 twos. So answer man was Corey, let me
46:39
make sure I mark it everywhere. Yep, back around me.
46:47
Shoot, I guess I'm going back to Fairweather.
46:49
How about sad keeper? I'm sitting here in a room with
46:54
you in America. So yes.
46:56
Hey. Yeah.
46:59
Hey, all right. Wow, well start really sweating.
47:08
You play to win the game. Yeah, I know, right?
47:14
Be a man or woman. Put your name on it.
47:19
Right. Let me find this on here.
47:21
Sad keeper. Track 20.
47:25
You know, 249. You know, I didn't even clock
47:28
that, but I bet you that had part part of it. 2 minutes and
47:32
49 seconds. I mean, nothing's worse if
47:36
you're trying to, like, turn somebody on to a band and then
47:40
you give them like some 7 minutes.
47:43
Yeah. Hey, here's free bird.
47:44
Yeah, it's like, I mean, if that's what the band is, that's
47:48
what the band is. But also here let me give you
47:53
something Radiolank to listen to so.
47:57
Yeah, music League. I haven't played music league
47:59
for a long time, but you see like 8 minutes.
48:02
Oh God. Yeah, exactly.
48:06
It's like, well, that if, if down votes are on, that's
48:10
getting a down vote. The doors have a lot of those.
48:14
I don't have 8 minutes for that. Yeah, all right.
48:18
Sad keeper was me. So Christian.
48:23
All right, OK, I'm going to play this next song.
48:26
I I'm a bit worried to do it because I am.
48:29
I'm coming back to a song that I'm kind of emotionally attached
48:34
to. Oh boy.
48:35
Time for us to ruin it for you. Yeah, it's yeah, I believe it's
48:42
about not to get too heavy. I believe it's about Darius
48:45
losing his mum at a young age I hope.
48:48
We have this one. Yeah, I know.
48:53
And I remember having it. I didn't even play it
48:56
deliberately for I remember it was on in my room at college and
49:01
a friend of mine who'd last parent at a young age as well,
49:07
kind of heard it and just went can he can he put it off?
49:11
It was it was hitting too hard. I think it's I think it's an
49:15
amazing song and that's probably a cue for it going in the trash.
49:19
But let's give it a go anyway. Not even the trees.
49:22
Fuck. No, apparently I hate Darius
49:26
Rucker's mom. I know really it was one of my.
49:30
Final cuts, though I always keep track of my final cuts.
49:32
It was one of them. That was one of the two that I
49:36
heard before going on that I I was going to try to make space
49:39
for. God bless.
49:42
RIP Mrs. Rucker. I know.
49:44
Yeah, yeah, I believe, I believe that's the story.
49:46
But yeah, I mean, if you listen to it, but you know, he came,
49:50
came he it sounds like a letter to God or something, like he
49:54
came down and he took it too soon or something like that.
49:57
Yeah, it's, it's really, it's really strong.
49:58
You can really feel feel it in in the song, but it's not
50:03
getting guys. Feel it enough for give a shit.
50:07
No. No, no.
50:10
And I, I'm, I'm going to give up.
50:12
I'm going to give up playing anything that I care about.
50:15
So. You know what?
50:17
Sucks I should have let, should have learnt my lesson earlier
50:19
on. Corey and I both came into this
50:21
going, yeah, this is like one of our easiest lists.
50:24
Right. And one of Christian's hardest
50:26
and we're just here taking a dump all over it.
50:30
Damn it, man. Oh, God, no.
50:35
All right, Corey. OK, I don't know if we've
50:45
travelled to looking for lucky yet or not, so I'm going to go
50:49
ahead and do that with State Your Peace.
50:51
Yeah, I got it. Yet I have it.
50:55
Holy. Shit.
50:55
Oh no. Oh, no, I think, I think you got
51:02
an extra laugh there out of Cory because he saw my face.
51:07
Oh, no. I mean, look, man, I'm glad that
51:12
we're here. I'm glad.
51:13
No, you're not. But have this pressure now is Oh
51:19
no, Oh no. Again.
51:25
Like, I mean, I didn't see that one coming, but it kind of did
51:32
the thing like immediately was like it put me back into chasing
51:37
what hootie and the blowfish is right.
51:40
And I was like, Oh yeah, cool. Yeah, man.
51:41
Like, yeah, not that I I checked out, but like it was like a
51:49
stronger. I don't.
51:50
Did you say this one came out in 2019, Christian?
51:54
No, no, no, that, no. Looking for Lucky was the last
51:57
one before they kind of had a bit of a hiatus and Darius went
52:00
off and did like Grand Ole Opry and all that kind of stuff,
52:04
Wagon Wheel and Nashville and all that kind of stuff.
52:08
But this was, yeah, this is the last one of the run, I think.
52:12
But we weren't parents when that record came out.
52:18
And one of my kids is in college.
52:19
Like, get that one out there. Oh, wow.
52:22
But yeah, man, I got nothing else to say that about that.
52:26
I don't want to, you know, believe the point.
52:29
Boom, just like that eight. I mean, I think we got one last
52:34
round on this before we dump out.
52:36
And not that I think this is necessarily unanimous, but we
52:41
haven't gotten here yet. Like, wild that this hasn't come
52:44
up. It's a huge hit time.
52:49
Got it. Yeah, one of my favorites.
52:52
Boom, just like that. Pressure's off, boys.
52:57
That's why you played that one. I mean, now it now whatever
53:02
happens happens. Yeah, the rest of the way again,
53:07
like this is one of those this is this.
53:10
And you know, we already talked about let her cry.
53:12
But like if if only want to be with you doesn't happen if this
53:18
is the hit and it's just like a sub hit, like not as massive.
53:23
I think. I think this conversation is
53:26
completely different. I think we're looking at this
53:29
band is just a really good rock band.
53:31
But we don't get Dan Marino in a music video.
53:33
Also true, you know. Also true.
53:37
I'm Freddy Couples. And Freddy couples.
53:39
Yes, yeah, yeah. Oh, fellas, a nine wild, all
53:46
right. You look so much happier.
53:48
Yes, the weight is off. The weight is so much off me.
53:53
All right, Christian. Right.
53:56
Shall I, shall I play one of my mum's favorite songs?
53:59
The one that every time I say? The one that I, every time I say
54:01
the word heating the blowfish, she sings the first line of Nah,
54:05
not doing that. I'm too scared for that, so I
54:12
will instead play something far more, far less emotionally
54:18
charged. I love this city.
54:22
I was there three weeks ago and the song's not bad either.
54:30
Las Vegas nights, No. I don't have that one.
54:33
I've got it. Hey.
54:35
There you go too, instead of all the way into the bin.
54:41
Boom and boom. All right, I think I missed one
54:46
here on this list. Yes, I did state your piece was
54:52
the one I missed. I got it on all the other ones,
54:56
not on the official one. All right, Corey.
55:01
OK, so the last one I will play. You know what, I'll go off of
55:06
self title with space. Yeah.
55:11
Yep. No way, get the fuck out of
55:14
here. Wow.
55:20
Well, all right. I'll see you guys later.
55:21
I know. Yeah, we're done here.
55:23
I. Mean episode done.
55:28
I mean, you know, it's possible that there's more out there and
55:32
we're going to have to make cuts, right.
55:34
But I'll say this. I clearly by my guess on, I
55:39
never would have guessed that Hootie and the blowfish would
55:42
have been a perfect ten band for us.
55:45
Like meaning meaning we land the there's no cuts that are going
55:49
to need to be made unless we go over now.
55:53
I've never been a part of an episode like this.
55:55
This is. Exciting, I know it's the
55:56
opposite of WASP was a 0. Yeah, I know, I know.
56:03
That's crazy. I still think about that once a
56:06
day. One of my favorite bands.
56:10
None of us could could come together.
56:12
Just wild. That was my Christian episode.
56:15
I know, right? You were you were the 1 getting
56:16
hurt there. Yeah, All right.
56:20
Boom, boom, boom. We're I mean, this is the
56:22
perfect time for the dump out too.
56:24
Like, I mean, it would have to be walk offs to get us up and
56:27
over the 10. I mean, at least hold my hand is
56:31
dead in the water. I mean, I think it's pretty safe
56:33
to say that, you know, we're not we're not going to be making any
56:38
exceptions to get that in. All right, I only have a few
56:41
left here. I'll start up at the top of my
56:45
list. How about silly little pop song?
56:47
Nope. Nope.
56:51
All right, wishing. Nope.
56:55
Nope. All right, let me mark this.
57:02
Usually I do that, do it beforehand, but there's somebody
57:04
in I don't, I didn't want any cheating happening or at least
57:09
perceived cheating. All right, wishing as A1 bluesy
57:12
revolution. Negative.
57:16
Nope. Man, I saved all the best ones
57:18
for the Ben, right? I'll say this, like with Bluesy
57:22
Revolution, I feel like they went to like a Blues thing a lot
57:25
in these musical chairs going forward and I didn't want to
57:30
disregard it. Right.
57:31
Right, which is how I landed with that one.
57:35
Boom boom boom. Only two left the killing stone.
57:39
That one I do have. Hey.
57:43
No, it was quite high on my looking for lucky list, but no I
57:49
don't. Think it's you there even though
57:52
it doesn't stand a chance because there's no room for it.
57:56
And then, last but not least, a smile.
58:01
Nah. No.
58:03
All right, boom on, right. I'm circling the 10 because
58:11
that's what it is like we're not, we don't have to make any
58:14
cuts. But just to clear out your list
58:17
there, Christian. OK, so I'm going to go in or
58:22
stump some bangers left. I'm going to go in order look
58:27
away. Nope.
58:31
Yeah, OK, I nearly played that very similar vibes to kind of
58:36
heart spark dollar sign when we did the Everclear episode about
58:40
about sort of a relationship that's frowned upon by society
58:46
or a parent. But anyway, Earth stop cold at
58:51
dawn. No good song though. 1 by 1.
59:00
Nope. Closet full of fear.
59:07
Nope. And just so I can give a shout
59:12
out to my mum who loves this song and whenever I say the
59:16
words Hootie and the Blowfish, she just goes hello again, only
59:22
lonely. That one I do have.
59:26
Oh, there we go. What's funny is I thought I did
59:29
have that one. I remember I was looking at the
59:35
list and I mean, obviously I just read read down it and
59:40
didn't didn't have it. So that's a 2.
59:42
Not that it necessarily matters for anything, but, you know,
59:46
Christian's well-being. Yeah, but just let the record
59:49
reflect that I prefer Christian's mom to Darius
59:51
Rucker's mom. All right, let me shift that and
59:57
then we will get Corey's remaining tracks.
1:00:02
I only have one. I was going to say, you
1:00:03
shouldn't have much. Literally one song.
1:00:06
Which one? Off of Fairweather Johnson.
1:00:09
So strange. Yeah, there you go.
1:00:12
Boom. I want to make mention of this
1:00:15
song because I I was lit. This was the other song I was
1:00:19
listening to right before we went on for Cracked review.
1:00:21
Drowning. Nobody brought it up so like I
1:00:24
don't feel as bad. But it was a lake tap.
1:00:27
Yeah, like I was. Listening.
1:00:29
Beforehand and I was like, man, I want to, I really want to make
1:00:33
room for that. And I guess like looking at my
1:00:36
list, you know, there's a couple there that I could have, could
1:00:40
have done away with to make room for that.
1:00:42
But who wants to do the work at the very last minute?
1:00:45
But Speaking of work, there is no work to be done.
1:00:47
We hit an exact 10, which lately that's never a thing.
1:00:52
Usually we go up and over and have to make cuts.
1:00:54
So we made the perfect 10. This really can't be any better.
1:00:57
Let me run it down and then we'll crank up the heat.
1:01:00
So we got only want to be with you, Hannah Jane Innocence.
1:01:02
Let her cry deeper. Side answer, man.
1:01:05
Sad caper time. State your peace and space.
1:01:09
I read those 10 to you Christian, and which one do you
1:01:13
think is the one? Interesting.
1:01:17
We have both time and space. OK.
1:01:25
I kind of agree with you that only want to be with you
1:01:28
shouldn't be because it's too predictable and it'll get
1:01:33
slammed in the end of year. I would say time or innocence
1:01:53
would be my my 2, but I hear what you said earlier about Let
1:02:00
a cry as well and what we said about that being a really good
1:02:03
showcase for Darius, which is kind of a, a key element.
1:02:07
So that wasn't helpful, was it? Which, which one?
1:02:11
I'll just give you 3. Well, you owe some get back for
1:02:16
just what's happened over the last hour.
1:02:18
That's true. Is it one of those three that he
1:02:22
he brought up Corey or I? Are you feeling fussed about it?
1:02:26
No the 2 I had two let her cry in time.
1:02:30
Those were the two that that I felt slight lean towards.
1:02:35
Let her cry, but I'm not bummed out if it's time.
1:02:38
Right. I I think I'm in the same place.
1:02:40
I'm also not against innocence. No, me either.
1:02:43
Because I feel like no matter what we put forward, it's going
1:02:47
to get slammed as far as the end of year.
1:02:52
I mean, if we're going to make people listen to Hootie and the
1:02:54
Blowfish, it might as well well be a song that they haven't
1:02:57
heard. Yeah, which is what, which is
1:03:00
why I'm leaning more towards time than let her cry because it
1:03:03
it wouldn't be as it wouldn't be as cliched as picking only want
1:03:07
to be with you. But let her cry is still a
1:03:09
really well known single. I think I think time was a
1:03:12
single, but I think far fewer people will have will have heard
1:03:15
that. Yeah, yeah.
1:03:17
So I mean, maybe we go time then that way it is a hit.
1:03:21
So it's possible that they have heard it.
1:03:23
But, you know, let's go with time.
1:03:26
I'm with it. You know, again, I unfortunately
1:03:29
think it doesn't stand a chance. But you never know.
1:03:33
You know, this this could be the thing that makes somebody go.
1:03:38
Yeah, I remember this band there for.
1:03:39
Those dudes, I heard that at the pool.
1:03:41
Those dudes were pretty good. Let's get that cranked up
1:03:44
underneath us and then I'll run this down one last go and we'll
1:03:48
wrap her on up All right time is our number one.
1:03:52
Only want to be with you, Hannah Jane innocence let her cry
1:03:55
deeper side answer, man sad keeper state your peace and a
1:04:00
space rounds out our 10. And with that, let's let time
1:04:05
get a little moment in the sun. It is a lot of Darius on his own
1:04:13
here at the beginning too. It does take a second.
1:04:25
It's worth it, obviously. Or all all.
1:04:28
Three of us would've. Picked it.
1:04:30
It's a build. It's a builder in it.
1:04:32
Yes, it it cranks up. It cranks up starts, starts
1:04:36
quiet and builds and builds and builds.
1:04:37
So. I'm gonna go boom, boom, boom.
1:04:40
There we go. We have done it.
1:04:43
I mean, at at worst, hopefully we got you off the fence about
1:04:49
them as far as this is just another one of those bands.
1:04:53
You just got to let them be what they are.
1:04:55
Like you shouldn't expect, you know, 10 only want to be with
1:04:59
yous. Even though even though that is
1:05:02
what they do, it's not all that they do.
1:05:06
And even if it was what they do, they do well.
1:05:10
So just let them do what they do well.
1:05:12
It's cool if you don't like it, but like, they're just a good
1:05:15
rock band, man. Like that's all.
1:05:17
I mean, is it softer rock? Sure.
1:05:19
But that's OK. Yeah, the point.
1:05:22
Exists, man, everything. You don't have to, yeah, you
1:05:25
don't have to run up in everything all aggressive like,
1:05:27
right. Right.
1:05:29
And especially, look man, I don't know what you what you
1:05:31
thought you were getting from a band where we've already
1:05:35
mentioned this. The guy mentions a football team
1:05:38
making him cry. Like what did you expect?
1:05:40
God know how that feels. So boom, there we go, you're
1:05:44
into Hootie and the Blowfish now.
1:05:46
You're very welcome for that. Maybe you want to play along at
1:05:51
home. That would be cool.
1:05:52

1:05:55
listing from, you can leave a comment if you really want to

1:06:07
Hi Justin. A dollar gets you in the door.
1:06:09

1:06:13
just hop in there. And there's the program chats,

1:06:24

helpful as well. Sharing is of course, caring,
1:06:46
telling somebody that you listen to the show.
1:06:48

1:07:01
the best thing that you can do. Tell somebody that you listen to
