• Cody: Everyone, welcome to another edition of AGT Time. I'm the guy that was bitten by a ladybug, along with Jay: Along with I am not in the back of my truck like what's his name? Steve Ray Ladsen. not not on my hood like Pinkbeard. I'm firmly planted in the passenger seat, J Bach. Cody: There you go. Good job. How you doing, Jay? Jay: That's Cody: Yeah, you you've got your your beard has come in. You did you didn't do pink, but it's starting to your winter beard is starting to come in. Your gray beard. Jay: Yeah, grey beard. grey with a with a Y. no I Cody: Is that G R E is that G R E Y or G R A Y? Jay: I which one's the American one? Cody: It's gotta be the A Y, right? Jay: Alright, then EY. I don't know. I how about G R. Y? Like this Cody: Okay. There you go. Jay: I don't know. It yeah, I'm I'm a little bit further along than I usually let it grow. y you gotta you gotta check in every once in a while, see how the beard's doing and there's there's plenty of gray, it turns out. So Cody: Yep. I I wish I could grow a beard like some of you guys. I just I just can't pull it off. I've tried, it becomes very scraggly. so Yeah, I don't know what to say, Jay: I I have Cody: but I wish I wish I could I wish I could do the beard. Jay: In in my retirement I think my dream job would be a a bearded Santa and just, you know, get to to love on kids and to to be a Santa and jolly and hand out some candy canes or cookies or something, right? That's that's what a wonderful job. So it Cody: Yeah, yeah, I can see that. That's right. I s could definitely see you doing that. Jay: turns out that at forty three I'm I'm not quite grey enough. Cody: You'll get there. You'll get there. You know, just you Jay: I th thanks for the vote of confidence? I don't Cody: just just remember you got your wisdom growing in. That's Jay: I'm I'm well on my way. Cody: right. Jay: All right. Well, Cody, it has been another week of AGT, another week of results. I'm seeing mixed reactions from the fans on Cody: Yes. Jay: how how they feel about the results. Cody: agreed. I think this week's results I talked about it with Jacob, our buddy Jacob Elyashar last night during the postgame. I think the results this week were a little surprising and we'll we'll talk more about that when we get there. But I think based on the acts that we had, there was there was some surprises in the results. Jay: Okay. Well we'll we will get there. We'll do a full rundown of the AGT time draft board and but before we get to that and before we even get a rundown of the acts, Cody, we should probably give the business. Cody: So you find us on our socials at AGT Time Pod. You can email us AGT TimePod at gmail dot com and go check out our website, AGT Timepod.com. Quarterfinals three, Jay. Quarterfinals three. Three fourths of the way there. Jay: Quarter f quarter finals three. Cody, we all know in in current time, but in case somebody's coming back to listen to this at a future date, our man Simon is out with back surgery. It's not an emergency, but it also couldn't wait. Back Cody: Yes. Jay: surgery. Cody: It's it's apparently routine. Jay: Yes. so Cody: Ha ha ha. Jay: while he is out, we last week we left the judging table left his seat empty, we just had three. This week we've got a guest judge. Cody: Yes, a little surprising to get a guest judge this week. Jay: Yeah, I I was a little surprised too. turns out we've got Keenan Thompson sitting in at the Simon spot. Cody: Yeah, veteran of sitting in that spot for Simon back in season fifteen when he was also out during that time for his back injury after his he fell off his his bicycle. So Keenan very familiar with the judge's tear. I'm gonna be honest and we'll hear a little bit of it lately. I was a little underwhelmed by Keenan Tuesday Jay: Yeah. Cody: night. Jay: Yeah, I didn't think he was great. I did love he gave some constructive criticism. The crowd booed him and he's like, It's constructive criticism guys. Don't boo that. Like this is this is good stuff. Yeah. Cody: Yes. Right. This is feedback. Yeah. He didn't say he it's like hey hey, I don't like it, don't hate it, just here's what she can do better. So Jay: Yeah, I I think that that's that's pretty welcome. But so with Keenan at the judging table, Terry Cruz is going to tell us who's in charge of the golden buzzer. Obviously it's not gonna be Howie, he's done it. Mel B has already done it. If there's a chance that Simon's gonna be back next week, we should probably reserve it for him. So I'm fully expens expecting him to say that Sophia's in charge of the golden buzzer, but no. It goes to Keenan, our guest judge. Cody: I again this show is just full of surprises this season. This is the season of surprises, Jay. It feels like every time we talk about something on this pod, AGT zigs or zags, they they zag our zig and does something completely unexpected. Jay: Yep. Yep. I I was firmly planted on top of this rug and it got pulled out from under me. Cody: did it get pulled out like Akira pulls his his napkins away from his Jay: I was thinking like the eight of clubs that every audience member happened to pull out of their deck. Cody: True. Yes. Yeah. Jay: but that was fully expected, not not a surprise, I guess. Cody: Absolutely planned, right? Jay: yeah, no. So okay, so Keenan is in charge of the golden buzzer. We'll just go ahead and say I have seen that next week the judge's tr chair is gonna be filled by none other but the superstar model Heidi Clume. Cody: Another surprise 'cause we really thought that Hi Hi we thought that Simon boy I was really getting ready to flub and Freudian slipped that word. that Simon would be back by quarterfinals four, but that is not the case. The the ever beautiful Heidi Klum will be back. Quarterfinals four. Jay: Yeah, international superstar Heidi Klum is gonna be back in the fourth seat at the judge's table. so I I assume then that the buzzer next week will go to Sophia? Cody: It should. It it should, right? Cause Jay: It should. Cody: I mean again, we'll we'll kind of talk about it, but Keenan made the decision on who was getting the golden buzzer, but Sophia got to press it. Jay: Also true. Yeah. Cody: Yes. So next week's gonna be interesting. Heidi in that that chair on the end of the table, not her normal seat, gonna be there, but not really gonna get to do anything of any worth. so we'll we'll kinda see. Does she still have it? Can she still Jay: I would say of Cody: judge like she used to? Jay: Yeah, yeah. I it'll be it'll be fun to see her back. you know, looking forward to week four, I'm not seeing, you know, any real danger acts. So well, Akira, he might be the one that the ladies all turn away from or, you know, can't can't bear to watch. but I'm I'm not seeing too much here that's that's gonna be slanted by the judges. So Cody: And and and next week is the week of the Bach Bros. Yes. Jay: It is. It it is the week of the box. We Cody: Yes. Jay: So it Yes, we have six X next week. Cody: Yes. Jay: Six out of eleven So worst case scenario the five acts that aren't ours, get the golden buzzer and four of the five acts going through. So we get at least one point. We've flooded the zone enough that there is at Cody: Yeah. Jay: least one point for for team Cody: Yes. Jay: box. Cody: Yes. Jay: Cody, I've been having a little bit of fun with I have an office now at at the school and Cody: look at you. Big man. Jay: i it's it's fun having an office and I'm I'm Cody: Yes. Jay: gonna decorate it up. And last year I was I was walking back to my office and I I said to myself something about you know I'm I'm going back to my to Mr. Box office and I was like, wait, Mr. Box Office? I I I should do a box office theme, a a movie theater themed. Cody: Yes. Jay: So I've I've been making up some some AI posters, have been use using some chat GPT to help me out, but I've got a a Bach to the future poster and a Empire Strike bock starring Chewbacca and trying to edit myself into these and and make as many, you know, bad puns as I can th across the way. And I I was thinking about some Disney movies and how I might be able to shoehorn myself into some of these Disney movies too. instead of Mary Poppins, I was thinking Mary Bakkins. Cody: Okay. Jay: The little Dick Man Dick Van Dyke, you know, I I play a one man band. He played a one man band. There's something there. All right. Cody: That is true. Yes. Yeah. Jay: How about how about the jungle bock? Cody: The jungle bark is good, yes. Jay: All right. how about Backenhood? Cody: Buckinghead. Yep. Jay: Oodalolly, oodalolly, golly, what a day. Cody: Yep. I love it. Jay: this this one's a kind of a kind of an easy one, the hunchback of Notre Dame. Okay. Cody: There you go. Yep. I'm on board with that. Yep. Jay: how about instead of a bug's life, a box life? Cody: Okay. Sure, yeah. Jay: All right, and last but not least, Bach Hero Six. Cody: Yes, there you go. Yeah. Jay: Okay. So I've I've got some more more work to do with Chat GPT to get some good good movie posters up here. But as my as my Disney consultant, I wanted to run by you. Cody: Yes, I I approve. Is there also a way that you could slip in there the composer bock? Jay: I'm I I I no. He he Cody: Okay. Jay: didn't do any films famously. Cody: That is true. Now you did have the movie Amadeus, but that's Mozart, so okay. Jay: Right, right. And there's also Beethoven and Beethoven's second and Beethoven's third and Beethoven's fourth and Beethoven's fifth. But I d I don't believe that there's a a good Bach Bachumentary out there. Cody: There you go. Bac a documentary. There you go. Yeah. Jay: So all right. That is that's enough pre pre-game chat here, Cody. Let's get down to business. First act of the night, we've got our aerialist duo, Holland and Siena. they're going to tell us a little bit that they're gonna do a different apparatus, something that we haven't seen much before, and I'm all for it. Cody: yes, I'm this this this couple is amazing. They brought something new. it's a rope that's attached to the stage. Is that correct? Yeah. Yeah. Jay: Yes. Yep. So it's attached to the stage at the bottom. And it's got the same, you know, lifting lowering mechanism at the top, but it's going to allow more or less slack depending on how high or low they raise it. So they can like do big circles around the stage or whatever with it still attached at the bottom. So to start the performance, Sienna's gonna step into Holland's hands and he's gonna like lift her up and throw her over his over his head and she's gonna grab onto the rope. onto this apparatus and they pull it tight and she's able to kind of treat it like a like a a pole, right? Like Christy Sellers pole dance pole. and they Holland grabs up high on the rope when they they lower it down and then he's they they tighten it back up and he pulls Sienna up with him. they do a trick where she's suspended by the the back of her head on the on the the the sling. that goes around the back of her head and and around his arm. So she's able to to spin as he spins over the stage. They do another couple tricks that are noteworthy, real quick. While spinning in a circle above the stage, Sienna hangs her feet over his elbow. So she's suspended just by her feet as they spin, and then she releases one of the feet. She's at just her the top of one foot over his elbow as they're spinning around the stage. What'd you think of that move? Cody: That was incredible 'cause he's like he's horizontal. He's he's holding on to the rope and ho horizontal and then she's dangling by his elbow with one foot. Absolutely incredible, Jay. Yeah. Jay: I I thought that was a great move. Definitely definitely a good one. he does some spinning himself above the stage. I would say that there was even a good attempt at storytelling with this performance. Right. It's hard to tell a story as an aerialist, but like there was sort of a a like coming together and being torn apart and and chasing him down and coming together and and not quite finding the way or they do get together and then they're torn back apart again. I felt like y the The attempt at a story going along with the music was was better than we've seen most of the time. Cody: yeah, completely agreed. The the screen on the back was also incredible. Production did great with the the imagery and the lighting to go along with their storytelling. The you kind of the looked like they had a like like they were in orbit around the earth and you kinda the you had the earth on the screen with the United States kinda going underneath it. Man, they they really kinda did did them well on the production. when I first saw this at the beginning, when they did one of the maneuvers, I thought this rope might have been elastic. And then I later discovered that no, it's kind of just going up and down. But as they were maneuvering and kind of st it just felt like it was like a stretchy type a rope. Jay: Sure, yeah. Cody: and I I just thought that would have been interesting if it was more of a like a band rather than a like than a rope. Yeah. Jay: Yeah. no, we saw the the person with the human rubber band clear back in audition three, maybe. Cody: Mm. Jay: he he he slingshotted himself across the stage. And I Cody: Yes. Jay: I I d think that might be a little bit too dangerous for Holland and Sienna to try and and work with. Cody: Sure. Yeah. Yeah. Jay: All right. Well, I I I think both of us sound like we're pretty high on it then. Cody: I I'm extremely high on it, yes. Yeah. Jay: All right. Even though this is Team I thirty five, belongs to neither of us, they're the twenty eighth pick overall, tenth pick onto team I thirty five. just just in the bottom half, but not not too low. And I would say that this feels like a pretty good pick for them. Cody: agreed. I I'm not sure why they went so why they went so late in the draft, 'cause just looking at this, even their audition was incredible. This performance was ev I thought even better. Jay: Yeah. It's easy to get lost in aerialist duos, right? Cody: It is. Jay: Like it's just another aerialist duo. And kind of like like you know, cute female singers, like you know, girl with a guitar, are you are you great or just really good? You know, are are is this is this a aerialist duo that's great or just pretty good? And it's easy to see them fall As low as they did. Cody: Yeah, it's it's also easy to see that a aerialist at could have a very low ceiling. Jay: Ha ha Give yourself a rim shot for that, Cody. okay, all right, all right. Well let's get to Judge's comments then. Cody: I well no, I've got my thing queued up. Then I'd have to go find it. I would, but I've got my thing queued up. I got the n I got the Yeah. Jay: Howie says it was scary, wonderful, and amazing. He's not convinced it was better than the audition. Cody: Disagree. Yeah. Jay: Okay. Sophia says it's mesmerizing, flowing, and elegant. Mel B says it was the it was perfection on every level, better than the audition. And then let's hear Keenan's first comments as a judge. All right. How do you do as a judge? Cody: I again I d I don't think that he's I I don't think that Keenan brought it. I think he's starting off kinda rough. It just didn't seem like a ver he didn't seem as excited as I thought he should he would. Jay: Yeah, my my first thought when I heard his voice on Wednesday night was like he's or on on Tuesday night rather, like he he's going into like one of these like comical SNL voices that he's got. The and I was Cody: Sure yeah. Yeah. Jay: like the is this really is this his normal voice or is he like trying to put some funny stink on this that I'm just not quite getting? Cody: I I had the same thought because I I know he's a funny dude. He is a funny, funny dude. And I had the same thought as well. Is is this his normal voice? Because he does so many kind of crazy voices and he he does some funny things too. The the Jeopardy that he does is absolutely incredible Jay: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Cody: on Saturday Night Live. And so to him to come on here now he's just feels like, you know, generic guy giving feedback. I I didn't feel like Keenan like gave us all. Yeah. Jay: Yeah. Yeah, there was something something off about it, but Cody: I I didn't know if y Simon reached out to him and just gave him some notes. It's Jay: Ha ha. Cody: like, Okay, Keenan, here's what I want you to say for each one of these acts. Jay: I I doubt it, but what do I know? It Cody: Okay. Sure. Jay: it's Simon's baby, and maybe he was he was in his ear. I don't know. All right. That is that is the first act of the night. Let's move on to the second act of the night here from Team Box, seventh pick onto our team, nineteenth overall, singer Isaac Atkins. And in his intro package he tells us about how Before he was in the military he was like delivering you know, Uber Eats food or just like doing menial work and he got into the military and it really gave him a sense of purpose. but a a continuous line through the whole thing is music and singing. it's what his his real first love is. And it's a dream he's never gonna let go of. And so he's going to sing Kaleo's Way Down We Go. Cody: Never heard of this song. Jay: Yeah. Correct. Cody: Yeah. Jay: was was that a question or a statement? okay, all right. Cody: No, that was a statement. I have never heard of this song. Yeah. Jay: let's hear a little bit of of Isaac Atkins' way down we go. You could've played that for me and said, Here's our clip of Pink Beard. And I would have said, yeah. That sounds like Pink Beard. Cody: Pink beard Isaac Atkins collab would probably be a lot of fun. Jay: Yeah. but i I remember last time Isaac really leaning into like the tenors and the the smooth. This time he really goes gritty with it. Cody: Mm-hmm. Yeah, I I was thinking I didn't remember him being this gr gr gravelly, I guess would be the word. As he yeah, Jay: That's a good word. Yeah. Cody: gravelly in his audition. So this this felt different. Jay: His his speaking voice is still mellow Cody: And very very white. Jay: and deep and very berry white. and also like the dude's not ugly, right? Like he's he's got a lot going on for him. I personally did not love the song choice, but I thought that the song delivery was good enough. Cody: I was again wasn't familiar with the song. I thought it was fine. I don't think he's a great singer. I think he's more it's a lot about his looks and maybe he needs to work on the singing a little bit. There was a there were some parts that were rough. I think he started off rough. not Acrocrew rough. rough rough. but I thought it I thought things didn't go well at the beginning. Jay: You're bringing it tonight. Cody: Huh? Jay: I I got you I got you going with the dad jokes with the with the puns and you're just Cody: You do have me going tonight. Yes, yeah. Yes. Jay: bringing it. Cody: yeah, you didn't start off well. I thought the song was fine. There was there were some parts that were good, but overall I just thought it was a very average performance. Jay: Yeah. Good enough was what I said. Average would be another way to say that. Absolutely. let's hear Judge's comments. Let's hear Mel melt a little bit here. Cody: While she's sitting there kind of fanning herself, right? Jay: Yes, yeah. she enjoyed it. And that's fine. Like each act has different things that appeal to different people. And Cody: Sure. Jay: there is something about this that really appeals to Melby. Cody: Yeah. we hear it all the time. Do we know what it is that Sophia's constantly yelling? Like whenever someone Jay: Ale Cody: whenever someone's making like a point, she yells this and I can't tell what it is. Jay: I'll I'll have to listen for that. I'm not Cody: Well it's Jay: I think she said towel. Cody: That's what that's what I heard. I was like Is she sweating so much she needs a towel? Okay. Jay: Must be. It's let's we'll we'll just leave that right there. Cody: Okay. Jay: Howie says he has an amazing voice, even his speaking voice, but he should show more range because he thinks there's more there. Keenan says this is a wow kind of show and he needs to show all that he can do. So he's saying kinda like Howie did bring more, right? Bring more. give us that wow moment. And then Sophia says, Towel. And she Cody: Ha ha Jay: also says, for his second live performance, this was amazing, says his voice is super unique. Although I could have confused it with Cody: Okay. How'd you feel he did as one of your team Jay: Pinkbeard. Cody: how how do you feel he did as one of your team members? Jay: I'm not unhappy. you know, again, it's kind of a a luck game. once you get past the first few. he I'm we'll have to see what the rest of the night brings, but I'm like, yeah, this could this could do it. This could be enough. I do always wonder like how much do judges' comments really impact, really Cody: Mm-hmm. Jay: matter to the voting public? Cody: Yeah. They they don't matter to me. I s I'll just gonna say they don't matter to me. I don't really pay attention Jay: Well, Cody: to what they said. Jay: I put ten votes on my axe and that's it. Cody: Yeah. Yeah. I was talking to Jacob last night and he said when the show starts he looks at the lineup and he already he votes before they've even performed. So Yeah. Jay: I think a lot of people do. so what do you do with that? Like how do you you know, do do the performances actually matter? Not to a lot of people. Cody: Nope. They have their favorites already. Yeah. They could go out there and sando sand out Trio Russian bar this thing and they're still gonna vote for because they did because they Jay: Votes are already locked. Yeah. Cody: did great in their audition and their judge cuts. Jay: all right, let's move on. Third act of the night. We've got our contortionist, Miss Maria. This is the second team Bach contestant of the night. She is from Bavaria. And well let's hear a little bit of her backstory, Cody. Cody: Jay, she was bitten by a tick and now she's extremely bendy. Jay: Yeah. is that w the superhero the tick, isn't that his or origin story too? Cody: I I don't know if that's his origin story or not, but yes, I'm familiar with Jay: all right. Cody: the tick. I'm Patrick Warburton, right? Putty. I think that's putty. Yeah, yeah. Jay: I have no idea. okay. squeak, squeaker, squeak, squeakin'. Is that he doesn't strike me as extremely flexible. Cody: No. Jay: I think maybe the understatement of the episode is the stronger I got, the more I realized my body can was what'd you say? My the more something like I I realized Cody: Let me see if let me see if I can find it. Hold on. Jay: my body couldn't do could do different things or s like it was just very Cody: Let me see if I can find the end of that. L let me see if can find the end of that. Hold on. Oops, maybe not. No, no, it won't fast forward. But yeah, I think you're something I think you're you're right. Jay: Okay, all right. Yeah. It it was a very like w when I was ten I was bitten and then I turned into Elasticirl. Cody: Yeah, pretty much. Yes. Now she did have to go through some hardships, right? So she was in the hospital. She was paralyzed. Jay: Absolutely. Yes. Cody: She's in the hospital. Obviously that's that's terrible. But it seems like the outcome is, yes, she became Elasticirl. Jay: So she is going to make quite the entrance, for her performance here. She is going to be lowered down to the stage inside of a plexiglass box, from the rafters. of course, you know, not just like a human sized plexiglass box. It's one where she is like belly button down and feet over her shoulders inside of a you know, I don't know, twelve, eighteen inch cube. It's i i it's mind boggling the the way that her body moves. Cody: Yes. Yeah. Jay: so again with her belly on the floor, she raises her head to face the audience. She pulls her legs all the way over her shoulders and hugs her knees. she does some forward rolls, she does a weird walking around thing, with her hands and feet on the ground, but like backwards of where they should be. walks through flaming hoops, Cody. Cody: Yes, yes she does. Jay: And you know, with a smile on her face the whole time and, you know, take a bow for the audience. What did you think of Maria's performance? Cody: I as I was watching this, I was struggling to try to figure out like where her back is and like where her head is, like which is her front, which is her back. Like I couldn't I couldn't Jay: Yeah. Cody: I couldn't I couldn't keep it straight. I was like, I don't know I don't know where she begins and where she ends. Jay: I and that's what makes her so good, right? Is Cody: Yeah, I okay. Jay: you know, I I remember we watched Strauss Serpent on one of the the mid season shows and he was doing I think a lot of the same moves, but he was like making it creepy and weird, and she's just like cute and smiley. and I also wanna mention she performed to No Doubt's Just a Girl, which I thought was a really fun song. Cody: Sure, it is, yes. but the the performance itself I thought was all right. It was okay. The the the fiery hoops were were massive. So there didn't feel like there was any danger there at all. she was about, I don't know, a foot from the top like a foot from the nearest flame. Jay: Yes. Cody: so there was that. She did go under what the table, right? She went under the table. Lots of splits Jay: Yeah. Yeah, lots of splits and stuff, yeah. Cody: and stuff and, you know, crawling around on all fours like Acro Crew's gonna do here in a little bit. Jay: Huh. Cody: it was it was it was it was okay. It was fun. I'm not sure that this I would enjoy this long term. I think this is pro this is probably her ceiling. I'm not sure Jay: Yeah. Cody: what more she can do. She hasn't shown us that she can do if she was going to do more, I feel that she would have done it here. It felt like it was the same performance as her audition, just with a few extra apparatus. But I feel like she did everything the exact same. Jay: Yeah, i I mean, to take this to the next level, like you gotta go Sophie Dossie, right? Like there has Cody: Yes. Yep. Jay: to be some balance element, some strength element, some shooting flaming arrows element, like something that just like the the f Sophie Dossy, like contortion and shoots flaming arrows with her feet Cody: Mm. Jay: like those are two un not unrelated, but disparate talents. Cody: Yeah. While balancing on blocks with her hands. Jay: And this is like just one of those talents and Cody: Yes. Jay: and and so we've seen it done s at such a grander level, it's like it it does kind of feel like if she's not going to add something wild like that, it's it's hard to see her going a whole lot deeper. Cody: She has to get her hands and feet off the ground. She has to do something to kind of get them elevated, whatever it may be. Jay: Well, she she came down from the ceiling. Cody: But she's still like her she was still like on the floor of a box. Like she didn't she wasn't like on box blocks, she wasn't balancing on anything. She was still firmly on the ground of something. So that makes sense. But you're you're right. There was no balancing routine to add to the level of difficulty. Jay: Yeah, yeah. There's there there has to be something more. But I can also say I was mesmerized. I was watching this the whole time and just just thrilled. Thrilled the whole way through. Cody: Yeah. Sure. Jay: Sophia says her whole story is amazing. There's something about her act that's amazing too. Keenan says she makes lemonade out of lemons. He says it's painful to watch and she's gifted. And then let's hear what Howie has to say. Cody: Mr. Germaphobe wants to get bitten by a tick to gain superpowers. Jay: I I think that maybe that was hyperbolic or Cody: Sure. So Jay, I've got a new I've got a new big fear now. Okay. So a few years ago this thing came out where if you get bitten by a tick, like you can't eat red meat. Yeah. Jay: yeah, yeah. the and yeah, I've I've heard of it. Yeah. Cody: Yeah. So you you get bit by this tick and all of a sudden you're like allergic to red meat. That's one of my biggest fears now, Jay. That I will not be able to eat red meat. Jay: There are a lot of ticks around you? I bet there are. You Cody: I'm sure there are, yeah. Jay: you go on a lot of hikes? I believe you. Cody: Not really, no. And and we make sure to do the fleeing tick for the dog, all that stuff. So Jay: yeah. i first of the month is a a just, you know, put it on your calendar, change Cody: Mm-hmm. Jay: your your furnace filter, give your dog their fleeing tick. Cody: That's right. Jay: That's my that's that's my PSA for the day. Cody: There you go. That's how you stay safe. You give the dog the flea and tick medicine. Yeah. Jay: Yeah. Yeah. I a as as wonderful as it might be to have the flexibility of Maria, I don't know that it's you know, that I w I would invite the two years of being bedridden. Cody: Sure, yes. And all the physical therapies she had to go through to get there. Yes. Can't imagine. Jay: I I I can't imagine. Like Cody: No. Jay: Our good friend went through a a real serious health scare after a a surgery left her septic and she was in a coma for a couple for a few days and medically induced, but anyhow, like coming out of that, like she was and still is weak from just that that short amount of time being bedridden. And I can't imagine two years of that and And the amount of work that goes into gaining that strength back just has to be it's just unbelievable. Last judge's comment here, Mel says she doesn't want to watch, but she can't help it. She's confident, she has some swagger that she didn't have in the audition. So step up for Maria, according to Mel. Alright, we are not really clicking through real fast here tonight, but let's let's move on to the fourth act of the night, the second act for team I- thirty-five, the thirteenth onto their team, thirty-ninth pick overall. Elsie. She's going to sing a country, country rock different kind of version of House of the Rising Sun by the Animals. is well I I us I assume House of the Rising Sun is in the Cody Patterson library. I it should be on the Cody Patterson playlist. Cody: let's see House of the Rising Sun is it is in the library. Not Jay: But not on the playlist? Cody: on the playlist, no. Jay: Okay. All right. well that's that's okay. Cody: And and and also not by the animals. No. Jay: Not by the animals. What version would you have? Cody: And these I don't know, if there's a Whelan Jennings version, Jay: Okay. Cody: there's a Max Max I'm sorry, Mac Weisman version version. Jay: Okay. Cody: And Yeah, I don't even recognize Bat Battleman and the Forest Rangers. Where I don't know. Yeah. Jay: Battlemen and the Forest Rangers? Okay. But nothing n nothing by the animals, nothing by Elsie. Alright. Cody: Yeah. No no the animal no no by the animals. No, nothing by Elsie, no. Jay: Well let's hear a little bit of Elsie's version then. Let's hear how she reinterprets this song. I like that. might be the harmonica. Cody: think the harmonica was the best part of the song. Jay: I say more. Say more. Cody: Th it was extremely pitchy. It didn't feel like it was full. I don't mind it being a country version. I think that's that's probably fine. This is a song they that people sing frequently at at the the music venue that I volunteer at. Jay: I believe that. Cody: Yep, so it's a it's a people like singing as a as a country song already or somewhat of a slight bluegrass song. So people will sing The Firefighters? Jay: Have the firefighters ever played at the venue you you work at there? Isn't wasn't that the name of the band that you had this version from? The Battleman. No? Cody: the the bat the battlemen and the already already already went away from it. Yeah. No, no, they don't. Yeah. So no, they don't. but Jay: Okay. Cody: no, it's it's a song that's frequently sung there, so I hear it fairly often. so I thought her version wasn't great. I did like the instrumentation. I thought the the harmonica was really good. The drummer was really good. But I just didn't feel like her I didn't feel like her voice was strong enough. Jay: Okay. Yeah, real quick about harmonica. We don't get a lot of harmonica on AGT. You gotta go back was it season one or two? We had the Millers, the the brothers, Cody: Yeah, and Jay: they had the harmonica player. Cody: and and Harmonica Pierce? H what was the guy we covered in se in season f Jay: yeah. He played like a Cody: in season five, in our season five rewatch. Yeah. Jay: Chromatic harmonica, yeah. but no, also drums, keyboard, guitar, bass. I was afraid that the keyboard was the one that was making the harmonica noises, but no, it was a it was a real harmonica. So at the very beginning and the very end. Cody: Mm. Yeah. Yeah, they featured him at the very beginning of the song too. Yeah. Yep. Jay: And it was a black guy, so it definitely wasn't the the Miller boy that was playing, so Cody: No, not the real no. Jay: probably a man now. But Cody: yeah. Jay: all right. Howie says he loved the callback performance, feels the performance was more shielded, like her audition was, so he preferred that that one in Simon's backyard over this. Sophia says it was amazing. She looks beautiful, she likes how she reinterpreted the song, and then let's hear again what Keenan has to say. Cody: Towel. Jay: I it might be Bravo. Cody: It might be. I I think you kinda hit on something earlier, Jay. 'Cause it does feel like he's kinda doing a bit. 'Cause he's like, That was amazing. Your kids should be very proud of you. Jay: Like like he's underselling everything. Yeah. Cody: Yes. Yes. Jay: yeah, there there is just like maybe he's he's standing on the brakes. Mel says she adores her, but her voice is bigger than what the song showed. So she was talking to Elsie saying that she could have gone bigger, but you're saying that Keenan should have gone bigger with his Cody: Yeah. Keenan should have been like, that was amazing. Your kids should be so proud of you. That's there we go. Yes Jay: You brought it! You're bringing the house down! It was off the chains Towel Yeah. he he does just sort of like, Nope, I'm not gonna not gonna show too much. Cody: No, he's he's he's playing low emotion man. That worst S and L Jay: There you go. Cody: character. Jay: all right, there you go. That is Elsie singing House of the Rising Sun. I didn't I didn't dislike it. Is is a cool mellow version. I think that generally going like cool mellow in the live shows isn't usually gonna h be the home runs, right? Cody: No, people want exciting and I'm with him. I want I want exciting. I want fun. But at the same time, if you do it right, like Brian Dustin Crumb, he did it extremely well when he was on. so you can do it, but it has to be done. It's it has it has to be done right. Jay: Yeah. Barbara Padilla. Cody: Yeah. I am shocked that I did not get a barpedilla reference from Jacob last night, Jay. Jay: Well, I I needed to pick up the slack, so Barbara Padilla would be somebody who knew how to how to Cody: Yes. Jay: turn it up. Turn crank it to eleven. Cody: Yes. Jay: yeah. Prince Poppycock, right? He he knew how to how to turn it up. Cody: Yes. Jay: okay. Let's move on. Fifth act of the night. This is the first one for Team Beefus and the Buttheads on this episode. 14th pick overall, fifth one onto your team. It's the Acro Canine crew. Cody: So excited to see dogs, dogs and acrobats. I mean, you can't go wrong there. Jay: Yeah. gonna perform to the song Walking on Sunshine. Cody: Yes. Jay: And they're even though they're from Winnipeg, Cody: Sure. Jay: they sort of embrace this beach theme. Cody: Yes? Jay: there is like a Lake Winnipeg, so maybe that's what they were channeling here. You know, it Cody: Okay. Are they gonna rename the lake, Jay? Is the lake gonna get renamed? Jay: I Cody, I'm Cody: Ha Jay: I it Fine, fine. Let's go there. Let's let's I Cody: Ha ha Jay: I heard I heard that Canada was gonna start th they they were going to have a lake, one of the Great Lakes, that they were going to have named in honor of Obama instead of instead of Trump. But they weren't gonna change any signs, they weren't gonna change any maps, they're just gonna call it Lake Superior. That was the joke. Alright. Cody: Yeah. Jay: You opened the door. Alright. That's th that's that's Cody: No, it's fine. That's fine. I I I laid it out there for you, yes. Jay: I d I don't like to get political, but n We're we're done with that for now. Okay. Cody: Nope. That's it. We're done. That's it. We We d we did we did it. Yes. So Jay: we've got the dancers and we've got the dogs. And the dancers, Cody: Yes. Jay: you know, they they enter the stage, they go into like this this human bridge and the dogs run across their bellies or across their backs. the girls walk on stage walking on their hands, they transition into standing on their feet, a dog runs underneath them all. One girl tumbles on the stage, does this kind of contortionist move with her feet over her head And her belly on the floor, and this dog runs in from the side, and a human runs in from the other side, and they both jump over this girl at the same time. The human up higher, the dog down lower, and this girl, you know, twisted into a pretzel underneath. how you teach a dog to do that is is pretty amazing. I I liked that one. Cody: Yeah. Yeah. Jay: the girls roll across the floor with a surfboard on top of them that the dog surfs across, surfs across the stage. And then like as the music was playing, they all like pose and smile and then like record scratch performance is over. Smile everybody. I felt like the ending was really, really weak. Cody: Yeah, it was a little abrupt, wasn't it? Jay: E everything else was fine. Cody: Yeah. I think the acrobats are actually really, really good. They're very synchronous. they're very cute. I th the you know, the the the summers not somersaults, but the like the round outs that they do. All those types of tricks I think are just exquisite. They're very sharp on and then you bring the dogs in and they're just they're winding through their legs, they're jumping over them, or the the girls are building little bridges and the dogs are running under their under the bridge. I think it all just kind of works. I think the theming really works. The the the lifeguard and beach theme looked really good with the lifeguard stand, the surfboards. I just thought it was a really, really cute performance. No bias. Yeah. Jay: Yeah, I think cute is cute is a really good word for this. and sometimes cute works. Sometimes Cody: Yes. Jay: cute gets you d deep in the competition. Cody: Yes. Jay: And people love dogs, people like a good tumbling act, people like a good dance act. Like there's this is a feel-good act. Cody: Yes. Jay: You can't help but feel good. Cody: No. And I think putting it right in the middle of this show, was it right in the middle? Was this act six? Is that right? Jay: Number five. Cody: Number five? Sir, five six, right in the middle. I think it works perfectly to kinda refresh the the episode. We're gonna hit the second half in a moment. So we kinda finish off that first half on a feel good performance. Again we get dogs, we get acrobatic girls. I think it all just really, really works out. Jay: Yeah, yeah. I I think you know thinking about my my draft team, this is one that I feel like is a strong strong contender for going through and Cody: Mm-hmm. Jay: you know there there might be points there. Cody: Yep, yeah. They they've got the they got a well rounded package here. Yeah. Jay: They really do. Sophia says they're a favorite of hers this season. There's so much chaos and fun on the stage. The girls are perfect. They look like they're having fun too. If this was better than the audition. even though I gotta say, like their audition where they hid the fact that there was dogs in their act until they came on the stage, that was a really fun reveal. Cody: Yeah, it was. Jay: And and they've they've they've spent that that card. They've Cody: Mm-hmm. Jay: they've you know shown that hand. So the fact that they were still able to improve with their second performance says a lot. Cody: Yeah. I I think this this is a very good and we know I know it's not really a Vegas show anymore, but this is a very good Vegas act. There's a lot of dancers, a lot of acrobats, they have a they have a lot of dogs, they can rotate in and out. They talked about in their intro package that there's a lot going on during Jay: Yes. Cody: the performance. And I think they can stretch this out into an hour, ninety minutes very easily. Yeah. Jay: Sure, yeah. Or if they don't, you know, somebody in Vegas might make this a a thing, Cody: Yes. Jay: in the style of Acro Acro Canine crew. Keenan says the choreography was perfect, the dogs were adorable. Mel says they didn't miss anything, the choreography is perfect, and Howie says they check every box, not team box. Cody: yeah. Jay: They're not just a dog act, they also tumble, it's acrobatic, they do dancing, they're smiling from beginning to the end, and they have great energy. So pretty high praise from the judges for the Acro Canine crew. Cody: Okay. Jay: Alright. another act, the second one for Team Beefus and the Buttheads, is Sword Swallower Extraordinaire, Erwan Legayar. Cody: Like Nega Nega Ard. Jay: This was the eighth pick overall, the third act onto your team. Cody: Excited to get him on our team. Love it. Jay: Alright. he says he is the first in the world to do sword swallowing underwater. in the intro package Simon said, Make it less dangerous. But you know what he's gonna do? He's gonna make it more dangerous. Cody: You should make it more dangerous. Don't listen to Simon. Jay: Well Simon's not here. Cody: That's right. Jay: So he's going to start the performance with a sword in his mouth. And he's got this flaming thing. He lights the end of this flaming sword with the five flames on it. He swallows that sword, takes the flaming sword up on the spinning crescent moon up above the stage that raises and lowers above the stage. He swallows the sword while he's spinning up above the stage, back down, up again with a different sword, really gets it spinning fast. This time he's gonna swallow the sword and do some. acrobatics up on the moon up above the stage. resets again, attaches himself to the bottom of the moon by his foot, and does this crazy sparkler stick thing that goes off while he's suspended upside down above the stage. I did not do that justice, but I mean, this is your guy. How'd you feel about this performance? Cody: Yes. Man, I felt great about this performance. I really like the Crescent Moon apparatus. I think that's something new that we have never seen before. I know it's just another ring type of aerial device, but it being a half moon or sorry, crescent moon, I thought was a really cool effect. The sword with the flames on the end of it, so he swallows a sword. He's got four or five flames above his head. He bends over and it's kinda out in front of him. This guy is incredible. we didn't do the underwater sword swallowing this time, did it in audition. But with all the fire and the the aerialism and spinning around while he's got a sword down his gullet, I mean, you would think this guy is on is one of the contenders, one of the favorites to win this show after this performance. Jay: Bring in it bringing the heat. That's a that's a strong opinion. Cody: Bre l literally bringing the heat. Yeah. Yeah. Jay: I again, like we talk about the ceiling or you know, how do you make it more interesting? How do you make it more engaging? How do you continue to improve? And I I feel like the amount that he moves around while he has a sword down his throat is quite impressive. Like it Cody: Yes. Jay: it seems legitimately dangerous, right? Like it not just the illusion of danger, but he could certainly puncture a thing and be brought to the hospital. Like it it seems very much in the realm of possibility. so with that I gotta say like it seemed dangerous to me. Cody: Yeah. I I think yeah, I agree with you that it doesn't seem like he has the illusion of danger. Jay: It because it's actual danger. Right? Okay. Cody: Yeah. Correct, agreed. Yes. Jay: Okay. All right. Judges comments, let's hear what Mel has to say first. Cody: Hur Herwin? Jay: Ooh. Cody: She called him herwyn. Jay: You know, it's Cody: The English version, right? Jay: Okay. So if judges' comments do affect voting, popular voting, that's that's bad news for Erwan. Cody: It is I would hope that people understand that this is Mel B and Jay: Sometimes you can't watch things. Cody: She may not know what it is that she's watching. She may not understand. She'll even admit maybe I was confused. I'm not sure what angles she needed to look at 'cause she's literally right in front of him. Jay: It sh literally the best seat in the house. Yeah. I there's not a better seat. There is one other seat that is equally as good and it Sophia's sitting in it. Cody: Sophia's seat, yes. And she could just like lean over three inches and have a much better seat, right? Jay: I I don't know, man. Like yeah, don't don't watch these things through the gaps in your fingers, Mel. Cody: Ha ha ha. Jay: I don't know. She says he has to pull out all the stops. Do you know that that's a a organ reference? Like a pipe organ? Cody: Yes. Yes. my mom plays the pipe organ. Yes, Jay: really? Cody: she does. She actually back in the day, she majored in organ at TCU. Yeah. Jay: very good. my my brother in law played I I don't think it was in a major, but he took a lot of organ classes and still practices the organ every Sunday, sometimes multiple places on a on a weekend. and so when you pull out all the stops, the organ stops, you're like pushing air through all the pipes. You're you're Cody: Yes. Jay: you're cranking it up. So when you pull out all the stops, you're you're you're you're bringing that organ heat. Cody: Yeah, but you don't want to pull out the sword, right? That would be bad. Jay: No, no. Well, I mean, only at the right times, you know, as per the choreography. Cody: That's true. At the wrong times. At the wrong times. It'd be bad it Yes, that's correct. Yes. Okay. Jay: Don't pull it out at the wrong times, do pull it out at the right times. Okay, we agree. There there are appropriate times to pull out swords Cody: Yes. Jay: and appropriate times to pull out all the stops. Cody: Yes. Jay: All right. Keenan says he was blown away from his not wonderful seat. Cody: Ha ha ha Jay: it was dangerous. Looks like he could have cut his throat. Sophia says she saw the sword in his mouth from every angle. She loves him and his personality, and then Howie says it was eleven times more dangerous than running with scissors. Not better than his audition though. Cody: So Sophia l has the same angle as Mel B, but sh and she saw it from every angle, right? Jay: Yes. Yeah. Mel B's just wrong. Okay. Cody: Yes, she is. Jay: specific number. Eleven times more dangerous than running with scissors. Cody: I guess we would need to check with Weird Owl on that, right? Cause isn't that one of his albums, Running with Scissors? Yes. Jay: yes, a very good album. Running with scissors, yeah. He's got comically large scissors that he's running with down down the track on the cover. yeah. it's gotta be way more than eleven times more dangerous, right? I've Cody: Sure. Jay: i I probably daily kids run through run around with scissors in my elementary school, right? Cody: Yes. Jay: Despite all of our warnings. And none of them have been impaled. To my knowledge. Cody: But they have but they have the plastic safety scissors, right? Jay: Well, I mean the handle part is, but it's still got a cut. Cody: Right, but I thought like the for the little bitty kids, like the whole thing like the whole scissor is plastic and it's dull. Okay. Jay: Well, I don't know. Those those youngest kids, that's a little out of my wheelhouse, but Cody: Okay. Jay: sometimes you you notice a child comes in with bangs today that are, you know, wonky, and you just have a a general you know, note to the class, Hey, let's remember that scissors are for cutting paper. Cody: Yes. Jay: are scissors for cutting clothes? No. Are scissors for cutting hair? No. What are s what do we cut with scissors? Paper. Just for for the general benefit of everybody, let's remember, right? Because I don't Cody: That's right. Jay: want to send a kid home with bangs who didn't show up with bangs in the morning. Cody: That's true. Yes. Jay: all right. let's move on to the seventh act of the night. We've got Guy Kelton Jones. This is a team I-35 act, fourth act. Onto their team, tenth overall. I think I would have taken him if he had come around to us on the next pick. he's going to do an original poem, including he he does his interluded, there's interspersed singing, singing, Ooh, child o' mine. let's hear a little bit of Guy Kelton Jones singing and poeting. You know how I say I don't hear lyrics? This is kind of like that. Cody: Yes, yes. okay. Jay: i like I don't really understand what he's saying, but like I feel it in my bones. Cody: Yeah, yeah, I'm catching about every fourth or fifth word, but I'm getting it. It's hitting me. Jay: Yeah, I I hear all the words. I Cody: Yes. Jay: I could I could repeat words back to you, but like Despite that, like the message hits, right? They can't say we didn't try. They can't say we didn't try. it's a it's a it's a nice, really nice performance. Like it feels good to to hear him do his poetry. Cody: Yeah, yeah. I don't feel like he did enough of the singing. Like I felt like there needed to be more singing. Jay: okay. That's fine. he's a poet first, I think. Cody: Sure, but Jay: And and he doesn't want to lose that. He wants that to be the anchor and the the s the singing is the is the frosting. It's the it's the dressing. Cody: Sure. Yeah, no, I I get that. I think in his audition though he did more singing. And I'm not saying it has to be all singing. It felt like it was ninety twenty and I think it needs to be more seventy, thirty, sixty, forty, maybe somewhere in that range. Jay: But he brought it a hundred and ten any either way, right? If it's ninety twenty. Cody: Nine ninety ten. So I th I feel like it was ninety ten. Did I say ninety twenty? I felt like it was ninety ten. Jay: I I you did. And I would I would like to think that it was ninety twenty and he brought a hundred and ten percent tonight. Cody: So no okay. I think it needs I thought it was more ninety ten and I think it needs to be somewhere in the seventy thirty, sixty forty range. Yeah. Jay: I don't know. It I i it feels good either way. Cody: Sure. Jay: i I was pretty taken with this performance. I like this style. you know, we've got Brandon Leek as a forerunner to this who won his season. this this feels good. Like I I like Guy Kelton Jones. I'm feeling like he's he's probably top five, if not a top three. Cody: Mm-hmm. Yeah. No, I'm with you Jay: I Cody: on that. Jay: I I wouldn't have been surprised to see a golden buzzer. Cody: Sure, absolutely. Jay: So Howie says it's Tuesday. Well no, let's let's hear Howie say it. He's gonna deliver it better than I can. It's Tuesday, I'm a Jew, and you just took me to church. That's that's a great line. Cody: Yeah. Jay: all the reasons that I shouldn't be in church, and you did. Like it Cody: Yeah, that's right. Jay: and it felt good, right? Sophia says it's unique. She thinks America will vote for him. Keenan says it's unbelievable. And he asks him to open a church tomorrow. Cody: Yes. Jay: And then Mel says it really resonated with her. She was choked up by it. She calls him truly amazing. So really high praise for Guy Calton Jones. Cody: Yeah, I feel like this is a definitely a top five or yeah, top five act, if not a top three. Jay: Yeah. All right. Let's move on then to Cameron Marshall, our magician. He is on your team. your twelfth pick, thirty-fifth pick overall. He went pretty low. He's going to do more card magic, but this time instead of up at the judge's table, he brings Keenan up on stage with him. Cody: I think this is what Plaguer from last week I Jay: Yeah. Cody: think this is what he should have done. Yep. Jay: Okay. All right. Well, Keenan, you're sitting up here at the table with me on the stage. Why don't you mix up these cards? So Keenan mixes up the cards. Everyone in the audience with your cards, cut some of the cards off the top of your deck, shuffle them, and we're now you take those cards, you put back on top, you spin it over, and you take the card that wasn't shuffled, and it's the eight of clubs for everybody. But hold it up to your chest. Cody: It's Jay: Keenan, you pick a card, it's the eight of clubs. All the judges, the card that they pick is the eight of clubs. Everyone in the audience who had a a deck that played along, they had an eight of clubs. Except for the three rows in the front of the audience, the order of their cards ex matches exactly the order of cards that Keenan quote shuffled while he was up on stage. I didn't like this trick. I Cody: The only thing I liked about this was that he brought Keenan up on the stage. I felt it went on too long. It didn't seem like a groundbreaking trick. I mean, it is kind of cool to see that all this stuff kind of matched up, but we've we've seen this. We've seen this trick many, many times. Jay: And it was also slow. Like how long like he he went down that first row of the audience and Cody: It was slow. It went on it went on for a while. Yeah. Jay: he like, Trust me, the rest of match two Cody: Yeah, he he realized he had to pick up the pace. So he was going down each one and then you're right. Like at the end he's like, yeah, they're all the same. Go ahead and just flip them all over. So Jay: So maybe a little bit of a a flub at the end there, not quite a perfect landing. but you know, it would be fun to be in the audience and be like, hey, that's pretty cool. He you did make us all draw the same card, right? You he caused that that force card for everybody in the audience. And that's that's Cody: Yep. Also Jay: a pretty good feat. Cody: this is just specifically for AGT. If you're doing a magic trick on AGT, don't do a trick where you have to have participation from all the judges when you're doing it from it. So if you're gonna bring someone up on stage, that's great. Do the trick there on the stage, do it at a table, have Keenan, whatever, do that. But don't have then the judges at the table that you're not near don't have them also participate. Cause it's just it's it's prone to chaos. Jay: Yeah, yeah. They're they're gonna wanna make jokes. They're gonna wanna say he's not doing it right. They messed it up. That's you know, yeah, yeah. Cody: Yes. Right. Yep. Just let if you want the audience to participate, that's fine. But the judges just need to be observers. Yeah. Yeah. Jay: That's probably a good that's probably a good note, Cody. I like that one. all right. Well let's talk judges' comments here. Sophia, she's gonna give the first comments. Let's hear what she has to say. Cody: Lot of weird high praise from Sophia. Jay: Yeah, yeah, she really enjoyed it. Cody: Yeah. Jay: Mel, on the other hand, says she doesn't get it and she doesn't want to get it. Cody: Well, it's not what she wants. It's not what she really, really wanted. Jay: Why don't you tell us what you want, what you really, really want? Cody: That's right. Jay: no I don't know. Mel in like is that the most Mel thing she can say? I didn't get it, and I don't even want to get it. Cody: Yes. No, I don't Jay: I just well, on the other hand, that's kind of exactly what I said about Guy Kelton Jones a minute ago. Like, I I have no idea what you're saying, but I like it. Cody: Okay. Jay: So so all right, I'll give her a pass this time. Keenan says it was better than the card trick, one of the greatest magic tricks he's seen in his life. Cody: Boy, he must not get out to magic to see magic very much. Jay: No, maybe not. Howie says it was great, but it took a little long. all right, so that is Cameron Marshall. pretty high praise from the judges, other than Howie saying coulda coulda stepped on the accelerator a little bit there. let's move on. Ninth act of the night here. This is Team I-35, their first pick, the third pick overall. 14-year-old Lei Noel. in her intro package, she says if I try my best, everything will be Layoka. Cody: Sounds like something you would say. Jay: Yeah, there's a reason why I took that note down, I guess. Le Noel, she's going to sing a little bit of not your song, but a song called Your Song by Elton John. Cody: Yeah. Yes. Jay: let's hear a little bit of Le Noel's version of your song. All right. I really enjoyed that Tuesday night. I feel like listening to it just now, like with my eyes closed, didn't enjoy it as much. Cody: No. No, and I didn't enjoy it much Tuesday night either. I thought there was some pro a lot of problems in it. Jay: There there's a few problems throughout there. it it was good. And she's like beyond likable, right? Lovable. She is just a a a treat and a half to to have on the stage. I I I like her little personality. I like her I I like her. I like her. but yeah, I I didn't love that performance, this this listen through. judge's comments. Mel says it was pure perfection. Sophia says she sounds like the huge artist already. Howie says she is beyond her years. Her speaking voice and singing voice are so different. And then let's hear what Keenan has to say. Cody: Get your git back? Jay: Yeah, that's a a famous kenanism. Cody: Okay. Okay. Jay: he's always saying that. Get your git back. Cody: Get to get it back, okay. Jay: Yeah. But Sophia didn't know that, so she was What What? Cody: Yeah. Tower. Jay: Towel she didn't get her get back, so he says, Just hit the golden buzzer. Cody: They just hit it. Jay: He didn't want to like lean across her or go jump on the golden buzzer and hit it with his own belly button. Cody: At this point in the episode, I was for sure Simon had given him notes. Jay: Okay. Cody: 'Cause I mean we're going through acts and we're like, okay, it's been the sixth act, okay, it's been the seventh act, okay, eight, okay. We're we're kinda we're kinda getting short on time here, okay. Nine ninth act, okay, and then it's like, okay, you ready for some confetti? Hit it. This is the one Simon told me to press the golden buzzer for. So let's do it. That's Jay: Get your get back. Cody: right. Stu is that a is that is that a dig at Simon's back? Jay: Might have been. Might have been. all right. That he he does go on afterwards to say she's dynamically gifted. She delivered the wow moment that he was waiting for. So he was he was taken enough by Lay Noel to put her through to the finals. Cody: Yes, yes. Jay, your song. Jay: Alright. Yes. yeah. your song is on the Cody Patterson playlist. this is this is a wonderful song. It is just a a total feel good song. yeah, it's it's if if Little Drummer Boy was a pop artist, right? Cody: Okay. Jay: I I don't I don't have much to give you, but I I wrote down these words, right? I d I don't know I I can't do much, but here's a drum solo. Right? so because I know you love Christmas and because I know you love Elton John, I th I think this is gonna be low geez. I I don't think we're quite to triple digits. Let's call it high double digits eighty five. Cody: Yeah, you're you're okay, I'm gonna caveat this and I'll I'll give you the number and I'll I'll tell you this. It's only twenty six. Jay: Okay. Cody: But I'm gonna say to be honest, I was introduced to the song through the Mulan Rouge soundtrack. Yeah. Jay: yeah. Okay. Cody: And so before iTunes and all that was really a thing, before the library became what it is, like this was a constant the Mulan Rouge C D was a constant Jay: Yeah. Cody: play for me. Jay: Okay. I is the Cody: So if I had been keeping count back then this would be easily in triple digits. I mean Jay: Is the version on your playlist the Elton John version or the Moulin Rouge soundtrack version? Cody: Both. So it's the there's the Moulin Rouge version. The most played one is the Elton John version. But then there's also the Elton John and Billy Joel duet version. So Jay: very good. Cody: yeah. Jay: There you go. Okay. that is that's Lana Well. She snuck away with a golden buzzer tonight. Cody: I don't think it's that shocking considering it was Simon's quote Simon's Golden Buzzer Knight. I think he would have hit it four or two. Jay: Yeah. Yeah, not terribly surprising. Okay. Cody: Yeah. So our second two time golden buzzer. So Jay: Yeah. I mean golden buzzer inflation, like they're they're gonna start stepping on each other's toes. Right? You which Cody: Yeah. If if they could give them a golden buzzer in the finals to put them straight into the top five, they would do it. Jay: Have you seen the Lane OL Golden Buzzer video? Which one? Shouldn't have to be the follow-up question. Cody: Yeah. Yes. Jay: okay. Yeah, yeah. Cody: Well along with hundred along with hundred fingers. Yeah. Jay: Okay. well, I I could make the argument that l Hundred Fingers first and second golden buzzer v video is I can't tell the difference. Cody: Fair. Jay: Okay. let's go on to Daniel Alvarez. This is the one of the many comedians on Team Bach. we've got him 11th onto our team, 31st overall. he comes out, he says it's ironic that he's the last comic standing because he's the wheelchair-bound comic. Let's hear a little bit of Daniel Alvarez's set. Cody: get a chance to see his whole set live Tuesday. I had kinda something had come up like right when he st in his when his part came on. But after when I got a chance to to watch it, I thought this was really good. and the fact that a lot of his set was talking about things that just happened. So Jay: Yes. Cody: it's not like he this was a set that he had written and practiced and done over and over and over again. He talked about Lenoel, he talked about dogs, he's gonna talk about Ruben, he's gonna talk about but basically his whole set is talking about A G T X, which I thought was incredible. Yeah. Jay: Yeah, yeah. he went on in his set to say he thought that his disability was going to make him stand out from the other acts. And then there's this one legged parkour guy. So it's yeah, he he definitely like i is is giving very like he knows his audience, right? Like Cody: Yes. Jay: these are these are AGT people. They're gonna get AGT jokes. Let's make some AGT jokes. Cody: Yeah Yes. Jay: So yeah, I I love that. I I feel like there's there's a a a constant like smile in his voice, a constant just like giddiness about him that is is also just really compelling. Cody: Yes. Yeah. he mentioned he's the last comic standing. Don't we have a comic next week? Actually have two comedians next week, right? We have Caes Caesar Jay: yeah, we've got our Cody: Diaz and an impressionist, Cameron Logston. So Jay: Yep, yep. Cameron Logston from Omaha. Cesar Diaz are clown, both on Team Bach, no surprise. Cody: Yeah. So maybe he's the last stand up comedian. Okay. Yeah. Jay: Yeah. but Ruben Roldan, he was the parkour act that he just mentioned, so I'll take any Yeah, bring him bring him to the front of people's minds. Excellent. Wait, Team Bach, cheering on Team Bach. Cody: There you go. Yeah. That's right. Hey, you all you all had a meeting before the episode. Hey guys, let's let's prop up our the rest of our teammates, right? We got we got a bunch of of our teammates coming next week. We gotta make sure we get their names out there. Good job. Good job, team team Bach Manager. Good job. Jay: Pump it up. man. You know what? This brings me back to when Christy Sellers invited me to California and like my my team was so bad. I I'd scored so few points and we're up to the final week of of quarterfinals, whatever, the the first round of live shows. And or semifinals, I don't know. And she performed, results show comes through, she's through to the next night, and she comes out and she says, Jay, we got points for your team. It's like Cody: This is Jay: my No. How about you are going to the finals of America's Got Talent, not me and three other dudes? Have a have a stupid fantasy draft. So but you know what, I'll I'll take it. yeah, that's yeah. Just one one more way that Christy Sellers is a wonderful person and it's just very like pushing pushing the goodness into the world, not not bringing it up for herself. Cody: There you go, yes. Jay: okay. Howie says he is so proud, he's slick and funny and witty, he's gonna be a star. Sophia says it's not easy to do what he did. He is the most adorable contestant of the night. Mel says she couldn't stop laughing at this set. It's brilliant. And then let's hear what Keenan has to say again. Ha ha Cody: That's some high price. Jay: By far the greatest comedian ever. Cody: Yes, on all the shows that he's seen these comedians on. Jay: towel. Cody: Yeah. Jay: Like hyperbole much, that feels that feels like a little bit too much, Keenan. Cody: Yeah. He went from I mean he went from zero to eleven. He didn't even like just turn the knob. I Jay: Yeah. Cody: mean he pressed a button that went from zero to eleven. Yes. Jay: Th this is the ejector seat. Right? This is we're not we're not gonna bring it in for a landing. We're gonna just boom. yeah. Okay. Well, they loved him. And I am I eleventh onto our team, thirty first overall. If we get points out of him, I'm feeling pretty good about it. Cody: Yeah. Yep. Jay: All right, finally, last but not least, last act of the night here, Singer on Team I-35, their eleventh pick, thirty-third overall, is Pinkbeard. Gonna do an original song. in the Absolutely he should do original songs. Cody: He should do original songs. Like he's a songwriter. I mean, right? So it's like okay. Jay: not back in my truck. On my hood. Okay. Well, he w Cody: Ha ha ha. Jay: we we could go back and and listen to Isaac Atkins sing and you'd get kind of a flavor for what it sounds like, but it's not the the right singer or the right song. but he's got that that gritty southern voice, right? He it's a mature voice that's got just some soul in it. I I liked the song, I like him. I'm not sorry to see him on the T V. What did you think of Pinkbeard's performance? Cody: I did like it. My I think my only criticism is I wish he had played the the piano more. He started off on the piano and played it about for about three seconds and then got up. And I would really like to have seen him play the piano more. Jay: Yeah. Yeah. he's the front man. He's gotta be the he's gotta be the face of the band, the face of the Cody: I think I think you can be the front man. We just talked about you know, Elton John. Jay: Yeah. Cody: They they're you know, those guys they're all frontmen. They play the piano. So Jay: Yeah, that's true. yeah, I wouldn't have minded seeing that, but he he does have like some real charisma about him. And him stepping up to the microphone, you know, stepping up to the front of the stage and like letting that charisma shine from there is I I think that's probably the better choice, the better position for him to be in. Cody: Yeah, agreed. Jay: I do want to mention like this is his band that plays with him. Cody: Okay, not the house band. Jay: no, because when they called him up for eliminations on Wednesday night, it was him and his band went up there with him. And I I love that. He was like no, like it's it's all of us. It's not it's not just dude with pink beard, but it's the dude with the pink beard and his people. So th he gives them a chance to shine with him. judge's comments, Keenan says he blew the roof off. Mel says she fell in love with him and his music despite it not being her style. Sophia says he is a seasoned performer. She loves his band. And then Howie, let's hear Howie's comments. Cody: Cow Jay: Tao boy. Okay. so that is the last performer of the night. let's let's talk results. Let's let's start to land this plane. We don't need to hit an ejector seat. Cody: Ha ha ha. Jay: okay, Wednesday night. Yada yada yada. Some people perform something something. I've never heard of them. We'll never see Cody: Detroit Youth Choir. Jay: them again. Also Detroit young adult choir, maybe? Cody: It's the same kids. Okay. Jay: I don't know. I I same director, right? Cody: Sure, and and he can be there forever, right? Jesse Jesse Jay: Absolutely. Cody: in the Tumblr, I mean, he's been there sixty seven years, so Jay: Yeah. Yeah. all right. So Detroit choir also performed. but let's get to the results. That's what we're really here for. first two come up to the stage, Acro Canine crew and Maria. The one eliminated is Maria. she got wildcarded in, I think one of the best contortionists we've seen on the show, but she needs something more if she's gonna be if she if she's gonna make a deep run. Cody: Yep, I agree. Yep. I'm excited Jay: All right. Next two come up. Cody: I'm excited to actro Kine crew's going through 'cause that's point. So it's yeah. Jay: Well, yep, that's a point for you. top five. next two decide out who's in the top five here. We've got Daniel Alvarez and Holland and Siena. Who are you thinking is going through of these two? Cody: I was actually really hoping it was Holland CN. I thought their performance was fantastic, but I I can see it can be a tough matchup. Jay: Yeah. it is gonna be Dali Daniel Alvarez who makes a top five. End of the road for Holland and Siena. Like, I really don't know what else they could have done. This this Cody: Yeah, I don't either. Jay: feels like they they brought everything that they could. They brought a new apparatus, they performed well. Cody: Yeah. They they pulled out all the stops. Jay: They pulled out all the stops. What else do you want? So that's a that's a rough a rough end for Holland and Siena. all right, next two, who's gonna go through Pinkbeard or Cameron Marshall? Cody: This is another tough matchup 'cause I didn't think I mean Pinkbeard was was pretty good. Cam Marshall wasn't that great. Jay: Yeah, yeah. the eliminated act is Pink Beard. I think he can parlay this into furthering his career. Right. He has has gotten a lot of exposure. People will remember his face. they'll remember his songs. I I think like this was good for him professionally, even though he doesn't make it any deeper in the show. Cody: Agreed. Jay: All right. Next act we've got Guy Kelton Jones and Erwan Legayar. the one eliminated is Erwan Legayar. Sorry, Cody. Cody: Man, that was that was a tough one 'cause that was I I just like Holland and Sienna I thought he pulled out all the stops too. Jay: Yeah. like Holland and Siena, what else could he have done? Right? the only thing is somehow he needed to connect better. Cody: Mm-hmm. Jay: Right? He needed to somehow better f let the audience feel him, feel his presence, and not not just perform for the audience. Cody: This this is his second time on AGT and both times he's been eliminated in this first live show round. He just can't get over that hump. Jay: Yeah, yeah. So there's there's something missing there. all right, and then our last two, our last matchup here, we've got Isaac Atkins and Elsie. The eliminated act is Elsie. I l enjoyed the song choice, but didn't didn't bring enough this time to make top five. Cody: Yeah, like the last grouping, I was upset that one of them was gonna get eliminated. With this grouping, I was upset that one of them was gonna go through. Jay: One of them was not getting eliminated. Cody: Yeah. Jay: no, but you know, in my eulogy for Elsie, like don't give up on your dreams. Like you you've made it to a very high level of performance. You are a a capable singer. Continue doing what you love, continue making music, continue finding opportunities to make music. It's not selfish. So then we've got our top five. and we need to eliminate two of them. three of the acts. No, two of the acts in the top five are Team Bach. And I'm thinking, like, all right, I'm okay with this. feeling good about my chances of getting some points here. And then they announce that Cameron Marshall's going through. It's like, okay, well, I've still there's Two Bach teams and two slots. Cody: Yeah. Jay: And then Acro Canine crews going through. And it's like, crap. Like, what Cody: Ha ha ha. Jay: What if Guy Kelton Jones goes through, which he probably should? Like I'm gonna be left here with Isaac Atkins and Daniel Alvarez earning me no more points. I've Cody: Pumpkiss. It's okay. Jay: but fortunately Daniel Alvarez is the one going through, which means that Guy Kelton Jones is eliminated. eulogy for Guy Kelton Jones, Cody. Cody: Man, it's it this is one of those I think Dan the Daniel Alvarez was the one of the bigger surprises of going to the semifinals. Cause I think Guy Kelton Jones was one of the favorites. I know it seemed like there was a lot of people online that was not a fan of having a poet, but he was so good. He was so good. And just knowing what he can do, I was excited to see what it there was what he could do in this in the next round. Because I know that there's more there. Jay: Yeah. If if Erwan Legayard could connect with the audience like Guy Kelton Jones does, that he'd be unstoppable. if Guy Kelton Jones could swallow swords like Erwan Legayard does, Cody: It'd be hard for him to sing though. Jay: it would be really hard to perform, I suspect, Cody: Yeah. Jay: yeah. no, he can be very proud of making it to the lives. I think that he improved on what Brandon Leake has done Cody: Yes. Jay: and Brandon Leak won. So what else can you ask for? and then our other eliminated act, Isaac Atkins from Team Bach. I'll I'll take my point. I would not have minded seeing him make the top three for the points. I wouldn't have mind seeing Guy Kelton Jones in the top three. But in place of Cameron Marshall, I think he was probably Cody: Yeah. Jay: the weakest. Cody: Yep. Jay: The weakest of the three. So that is that's it. We've got Cameron Marshall, Acro Canine crew, and Daniel Alvarez making it through along with Ley Noel, who's gonna be Le O K. Cody: It's okay. Jay: That's that's okay. That's Cody: Okay. Jay: I don't come here. Cody: we've got some programming notes for next week, Jay. Jay: Okay, what are our programming notes? Cody: So Tuesday night is performances and results in the same night. because we've got we got football. Jay: Yes, one big three hour block. Cody: Yeah, we got football Wednesday night. NFL's kicking off their season in Australia. Maybe Christy Sellers will go see the game. Maybe. Jay: maybe. Australia is like an entire country. You know, it's Cody: Yes. Jay: it's like Cody, you're from America. Jay, you're from Cody: Yeah. Jay: America. Have you two ever met? Like, well, Cody: That's right. Jay: no. We've never actually been that close to each other, like physically. Cody: When w when I went and visited my mom, she actually asked me that. She's like, Have you ever have y'all have you ever met the the guys? I'm Nope, we've never been together in person. None of us. So maybe someday. Jay: Nope. Ma maybe someday. you you come up to the state fair, I'll come down to to Dollywood. We'll we'll figure something out. Cody: We'll figure something out. so yeah, we'll have performances and then right afterwards we'll have results Tuesday night. so coming up well then that kinda le Okay. Okay, sure. Jay: Well let's let's stop there. I wanna have a conversation about that. Because if if we have the technology to do this and if this this goes off, like, should this be the new normal? Cody: No, it should not be the new number. So Jacob and I talked about that in the postgame Wednesday night that BGT does this. And so I asked him, do you think this is going to set a precedent? And he said, I hope not. I agree. I don't want it. We need it to be two separate nights. especially for me, because we'll talk more comment and I'll talk more about it during the pregame this weekend. It's a long night. For me on the East Coast. And so Jay: Yeah. Cody: I think a lot of your East Coasters, you know, England, it's Jay: Okay. Cody: one time zone. Everybody's in the same time zone. I think Jay: Yeah, well. Cody: for your East Coasters, this would be a really late night. You would not get good TV ratings for a result show at ten o'clock. So Jay: Okay. All right. yeah, you're probably right. That's that's fair. They I can also say like it's they they have a system, right? It's easy Cody: Mm-hmm. Jay: to produce this show, right? There's there's no like how are we gonna pull this off? How do we do like everybody knows their job. It's it's like We we we just put the show on and we get viewers and people tune in every week. So the more hours of AGT we have on every week, like the more good affordable program we we put on TV and we get eyeballs on it and we get the the clicks. So Cody: Yeah. Yep. Jay: it yeah, I wouldn't I I I I I guess I with you would be surprised if this would become the new normal. Cody: Yeah. It would also be a fast turnaround for the editors to get that highlight reel set up for the beginning of the results show. So they Jay: Yeah, yeah, that is Cody: they'd have to be on their toes for that. also don't think your judges Jay: Part of it. They somehow have to turn it Cody: I don't think your judges and Terry would have stick around for three hours either. So it's a long night. Jay: Ooh, yeah, that's a long night for them. Cody: It's a long there's a lot there. A lot of logistics involved in it. Jay: Yeah. Okay. Cody: so that kind of leads us in to a couple of things, Jay. We got some listener mail kinda having to do with this. Jay: Okay. Cody: so one of the questions was with the NFL preempting the results show next week and instead we get both the regularly scheduled live show and the results back to back Tuesday. Do you think that the acts next week's will pull out all the stops? Jay: I I I don't see how the timing of the results show would affect their performances. Cody: I I agree. Yes. Jay: I think they will pull out all the stops though. Cody: Yes. There was some chatter that people think that because of the compressed time that the acts may not have as much time or they're gonna try to do more. And I'm like, it doesn't matter. They still gonna have the two hours show normally. The only difference is results is right afterwards. It's not gonna really it's not gonna impact the voting because a lot of the people as we talked about are gonna vote for their favorites anyway. Jay: So it is known that sometimes they will pre record a performance. Like, you know, if if we're going live at seven, Cody: Yes. Yeah. Jay: Central Time, like we're actually gonna have acts start performing at Five, right? this this is what Christy Sellers did. She performed before the show. She got all the judges' comments, and then they slotted her in in the middle of the show while they set up the knife throwing act because you know all the distances had to be perfect. So they had that extra long time slot there while they aired her performance that had actually happened earlier in the evening. So I wouldn't be terribly surprised if we had an act or two quote unquote pre-recorded. but it's still recorded in front of the same audience. It's just Cody: Let's kinda let's let's kinda look to see who that might be. So we've got maybe like Akira may may do that. Jay: So Akira, just for, you know, live TV, wanting to make sure that all the correct things are blurred should something happen, right? Cody: Fair, yes. Yeah. Jay: Burden Byron, I don't think would need it. Cameron Logsden, I don't think so. Caesar Diaz, I doubt it. Jesse Joe, other than bringing the whole band on the stage, wouldn't need it. Laura D, no. Ruben Rolled on, he's probably my my first pick. Cody: Yeah, 'cause he's gonna use the outdoors. He's probably gonna have things set up inside. Yeah, I would agree with that. Jay: Yeah, his his whole setup is gonna be a thing. Travis Garland, no. Tyrone and Margot, maybe. knife Cody: Maybe. Mm-hmm. Jay: throwing act, right? That has to be set up very specifically, very purposely to make sure things don't go wrong. possibly Unitry, the robot dance act, to give them a chance to have things go right. Yep. Cody: Case there's any technical difficulties. Yep. Jay: And then finally Young and Strange wouldn't probably wouldn't need it. So there there's could be a couple that they that they do that with. Cody: Okay. Okay. to go along with that and kind of maybe we've talked about it little bit, so also do you think that the acts who perform later on will be at a disadvantage versus acts who will be on earlier? Jay: Ooh. Yes. I think there is some number of people that will not watch the whole show and only vote on what they've seen but still have to go to bed, you know, early. Cody: Yeah. Okay. Jay: So I is it going to affect the results? I doubt it. Cody: Yeah, it also depends on what order the acts are in. We just don't know what the the yeah. We Jay: Yeah, absolutely. Cody: don't know what the order of the acts are in. So I think there's a little unknowns. We've just we've never I think I don't think we've experienced this before. So we'll just have to see. It's gonna be a late night for me. I'll I'll admit that. Jay: You're gonna watch all three hours? Cody: I I I may watch I mean it's ten o'clock. Yeah, I'll probably watch all three hours. Well part of this programming note is there's gonna be some adjustment to the pod next week. So comment Jay: Okay. Cody: and I will talk more about that during the pregame this weekend. Jay: All right, well we can talk about the timing of our our recording as well. So Cody: Yep, our our portion of it as well. Yep. other than that, that's kind of the big thing for next week. We talked about Heidi's gonna be in Simon's chair, and Sophia should have the golden buzzer. Jay: Yeah, yep. Sophia should. Heidi's there. the last thing that I want to point out, I think it's the last thing. I don't know. We'll see if more comes to mind. Cody: Huh. Jay: I I had I had said last week, each week we're getting through a magician, a dance group, a musician, and a wild card, right? So Bringing true to my prediction. We've got our magician, Cameron Marshall is through, called it. We've got our dance act through, Acro Canine crew, called it. Our music that goes through is Ley No Well. I was really hoping it was going to be Guy Kelton Jones, but I i I was I was a little off the mark on that one. It should have been Guy Kelton Jones. And then finally our wild card, I thought was gonna be our actual wild card Maria, but it was instead Daniel Alvarez. Either way, points for Team Bach. So next so next week Cody: There you go. Look at you. What's Yep. Yep. Jay: our magicians going through are gonna be Young and Strange. Cody: I hope so. They're great. Jay: Our dance, the only real dance group is Unitry, our are robot dancers. Cody: Would love that. Jay: But maybe I could say that Ruben Rold on Boosters is just just for the points. Cody: Yeah, yeah. Jay: He he moves his body like a dancer does. Cody: Sure. Jay: our music adjacent act i that's that could be anybody. I'd love it to be Caesar Diaz, but Could be Burden Byron, Jesse J, Laura D. Travis Garland, any of those could happen. And then our wild card, the wildest of wild cards, has gotta be Akira. So Cody: That's right. Jay: that would be that would be pretty good results for Team Bach. Cody: Yeah. Boy that'd be amazing if you go sixteen for sixteen on all that. Jay: we could use the points. Cody: Yes. Jay: as the points stand, Cody and commenter, you guys have twenty two points. Ryan and Steven have thirteen, Bach brothers have ten. and I did blow up the the AGT time pod chat last night or our text thread saying I I misunderstood the points. i I didn't know that they were additive. I thought it was i instead, right? If if you make the top five, you get one point. If you make the top three, you get two points. but no, it's you get one point for making the top five and an additional two points for making the top three. So Cody: okay. Jay: that that that was different than what I expected. So all my acts that make the top five but don't make the top three, which I am very good at predicting. don't really earn me any extra points. Because all Cody: Okay. Jay: the other all the other teams earn those extra points too. So Cody: Yeah, yeah. Jay: it's a a little bit of a of a of a gut punch. but really I I want to complain about it only because I want more points. It's it's completely selfish. It's not because Cody: Fair, yeah. Sure. Jay: I think it's unfair, but because I want more points that you guys don't get. Cody: You just want to pass the bot. Jay: Ooh, there you go. Cody, I think that is an excellent place to to to end this podcast. Cody: Yeah. so just a reminder, so come in and I'll be back this weekend. We'll be recording the pregame on Labor Day. So again, programming changes. So if you have any comments or questions, we're gonna record the pregame on Labor Day. And then Tuesday, we will it'll have the the three hour episode. There will be a postgame. There will be a results pod that night. We'll talk more about that later. Jay: Wow. Cody: And then and then you and I'll be back. sometime next week to figure out we'll figure that out of when we were gonna record this, to do the full recap for all of quarterfinals four. So if you want to find us on our socials at AGT Time Pod, you can email us AGT Timepod at gmail dot com and you can go check out our website, AGT timepod dot com. Everyone have a great night. Jay: Stay safe.
