Transcript
- Cody: Everyone, welcome to our quarterfinals two edition of the post game. And joining me tonight is Corey from Talent Recap. How you doing Corey? Corey Cesare: Hey guys, I'm excited to be back again. Cody: Yeah, welcome back. It's good seeing you again. It's been about a year now since we last saw you, right? Yeah. Corey Cesare: Yeah, no that's true. About a year. Cody: Yeah. So we're glad to have you back on our results reactions now referred to as the postgame. And we just finished watching the results for quarterfinals two and very interesting stuff happened and I'm kinda excited to talk about it. Corey Cesare: I have a lot to say. Cody: Well good, that's kinda what we're here for. what I'd like to do first is just just quickly just get right into the results and then we'll get we'll go back and and talk about our reactions to it. so in our different ca groupings we had our of course our five groupings. Five groupings of from our ten ten acts that went through. Nene already went through as our golden buzzer to the finals. and then we had in our first grouping Brad and Tracy and Butter and Grit. And we found out that Butter and Grit's going to the top five. Let's think of that. Corey Cesare: You know, I will say I liked Butter and Grits audition, wasn't a fan of this week. Cody: Agreed. I didn't it it wasn't as exciting. It was a very nice song, but it wasn't an exciting song. Corey Cesare: That's kinda how I felt about it too. I felt like their audition song was stronger. Cody: I think I prefer them more likely to didn't audition. The callbacks was too laid back, this was also too laid back. So Corey Cesare: Yeah, it's like there was no what is it called? They had no competitive edge to them. And I feel like it's too late in the competition for them not to feel that way. Like they weren't stressed out enough almost. Cody: Yeah. are you a Brad and Tracy fan? Corey Cesare: Brad and Tracy, like I I watch their performance, but I like watch it through my hands because I'm terrified. Like I'm like watching it like this. Like Cody: Yeah. Corey Cesare: don't tell me what happens next. I love Dangerox, don't get me wrong. they're a little too intense for me though. Cody: Yeah. Yeah, I d I do like the the danger act of Brad and Tracy. I'll Brad Byers has been on AGT before. I really like his performances. they're a lot of fun. I think he's got a great personality. She needs some work, but I do like him. from these two and if you're gonna give me these two, I think Butter and Grit's probably the more the the the better performance between these two. I think there's a lot more there than what Brad and Tracy can do. So I think between these two it's fine. It seem a very middle of the road grouping. Corey Cesare: Yeah, I would agree with that. But it's nice because it's like two different types of axe, which sometimes we don't get that. Cody: That's right. They'll put two singing acts up against each other. So you're right. Two completely different types. our next grouping was Lil Russell and Veronica. and Veronica is on team Cody and Commenter this year. then we find out Veronica is going through to the top five. Corey Cesare: I wasn't surprised by that. I I wrote down in my notes that like this is different for the American audience, I feel like, and people are going to like that versus like a normal aerial strap type of routine. I really think that Howie was really mean to LaveRussell last night when he was just like, This Cody: Ha ha. Corey Cesare: is like a high school choir. I'm like, my gosh, we have to say that like once a season now, buddy. Like what's going on here? Cody: I I don't know what the LaRussell Act is. It's it seems like it's a group of people that that are doing it, but it's just it's named after him. So it it's just a weird a weird thing. I'm not sure how to take this act. Maybe I'm wrong on this. Corey Cesare: Yeah, like like I appreciate it and I respect it, but I don't understand it. Cody: Yeah. Veronica's on our fantasy team this year with me and Commenter. so very, very proud member of Team Cody and Commenter. Yep. And so she's gonna go through the top five. She had a great performance. The the bar, the the the dangling bar from the ceiling, is a great routine. It's one of those apparatus that we haven't really seen. If we've seen it, it's very rare on A G T. Like I say, usually it's the straps, the rings, you know, normal what's the word I'm looking for? the Corey Cesare: Bitcher piece. Cody: trapeze, thank you. It's a normal trapeze. So yeah, having the bar, the vertical bar, is very, very interesting. And she did it she did two of them. One in front of the judges, one on the stage. So really really Corey Cesare: Yeah, which is really cool the over the judges. Cody: it is. It gives a very it's a new perspective for the judges and the audience. It gives her it puts her up close and personal with all of that, which I really, really appreciate. the third grouping going to the top five, or sorry, the third grouping that could go in the top five, come here, come here. And Patrocks. And we find out that come here is going into the top five. Corey Cesare: That was definitely a grouping, that's for sure. Remember when I said Cody: Two dance acts. Corey Cesare: I don't like when they put two dance acts together because then it's so obvious which one's going through and I Cody: Mm-hmm. Corey Cesare: I respect the backwards dancing, but I don't understand it. And I just I I was like, All right, I'm bored, like I can't I can't keep doing this. Come Cody: Yeah. Corey Cesare: here, I feel like I don't know, I have opinions on them. I don't know if I'm ready to share them yet. Cody: Ha ha ha. Corey Cesare: Because I'm so undecided by them. It's like it's not even funny. Like I wanna be like they're not Brent Street, because I loved Brent Street, but they're Cody: Yep. Yep. Corey Cesare: also like not that type of dance act. So that's where I'm like Cody: It's a little yeah. Yeah. It's a little bit of Brent Street, it's a little bit of not really Maya's. there's another group that that year, the year after that they're th that type of act has kind of taken off since Brent Street kinda came on the scene. Yeah. Corey Cesare: Yes. Are you thinking Avantgardy? Because I feel like they kind of remind me a little bit of them. Cody: Little bit of Avant Gardy. And I did like Avantgardy. I I like their kind of quirkiness. Corey Cesare: Me too. Cody: yeah. Yeah. come here, also proud member of Team Cody and Commenter. So we're doing really well so far tonight. Corey Cesare: Fair. Cody: Patr Patrox, you're right. I don't understand that either. I don't understand the reverse thing. It's it's not an act. He's just dancing and then productions putting it in reverse for him. Corey Cesare: Like it's a good TikTok talent, but like the fact that he made Cody: Yes. Corey Cesare: it to the live shows is like crazy to me. Like I don't know how he did that. Cody: I don't either. Yeah. So Patrox is going home. Come here is going into the top five. Our fourth grouping, Nija and Zaya, nephews of Bruno Mars. I'm sure you're you're aware of that. Yep. And Gino Plager, our Bat Franco intern. And Gino Plaguer is going into the top five. Corey Cesare: Thank goodness. Cody: Yeah. Corey Cesare: I felt so bad for the for for Bruno Mars's nephews when they got buzzed, but they kinda deserved it last night. Cody: They were not good. It was not a good performance. Yeah. Corey Cesare: I feel like it's it's one of those things where it's like they're children and I don't wanna be like mean to children and I couldn't I couldn't like draw the line between whether the judges were being mean to them or like actually giving them good critiques and in that moment I thought they were giving good critiques. Cody: Mm-hmm. It's okay to tell them, look, you're not ready. And it's it's fine. You know, just keep working on your craft, keep keep practicing, keep doing shows or performances. You'll get there. It's just this is not your time, and that's okay. Corey Cesare: And while you're at it, guys, tell them Bruno tell Bruno we said hi. That's it. That's all I'm asking for. Cody: Yeah, that's right. Also, like what what does it say when you are the nephews of Bruno Mars and you don't perform a Bruno Mars song? Corey Cesare: You know what, I can appreciate the fact that they might be trying to separate themselves from Cody: Okay. Corey Cesare: from their uncle. I mean, I I we did a What's Hot on Them on Talent Recap recently. And their hi their uncle produces a lot of their music. So like Cody: Okay. Corey Cesare: they're trying to like inch away from that. And like that's cool. I I agree with you. I I don't know if it would've helped them to sing a Bruno song, but at the same time I'm like, I respect them for trying to not just be Bruno Mars's nephews. Cody: Yeah. Yeah. Okay. well Naja and Zaya are going home, Gino Plaguer's going to the top five. our final grouping, McKenzie Soul and Betty. And Betty also proud team member of Cody team Cody and Commenter. Great night for us, Corey. Great night for Corey Cesare: Ha ha Cody: us. So and we find out that I I didn't think McKenzie Soul was that great. Betty was alright. Not not a great night, but All right, she did pretty good. we found out Mackenzie Soul is going through to the top five. Corey Cesare: You know, I Betty wasn't doing it for me either, but I think that the wardrobe department did her dirty with that outfit. I don't know why. I Cody: really? Okay. Corey Cesare: didn't like it. I wasn't a fan. I felt like they should have had her in something a little cuter for her birthday. That's just me. I don't know. Cody: Okay. Corey Cesare: It seemed a little it seemed a little too safe. I wanted like sparkles. I mean maybe she's not like that, but I feel like you gotta go a hundred percent for this show. Cody: Sure. Corey Cesare: And I feel like that outfit wasn't giving a hundred percent to me. Cody: Okay. Yeah. so yeah, McKenzie Soul going through the top five. Betty is unfortunately going home. And so that gives us our top five of Come Here, Veronica, McKenzie Soul, Butter and Grit, and Gino Plagger. Any thoughts on that top five before you move on? Corey Cesare: Actually I think it was a pretty solid top five, to be honest with you. I I'm okay with it. I'm not a huge fan of Come Here still and I do have I have feelings about others, but I think it was like an evenly split evenly split across like the genres of axe and I'll take that. Cody: Yeah, yeah, I kind of agree. so my when I did my rankings last night I had Nene number one. Usually I put the golden buzzer if it's really good. I usually put Nene number one. I had Veronica come here, Gino Plaguer, and Betty as my top five. so I did not have McKenzie Souls, the only one I did not have in the top five. Corey Cesare: Got it. Okay, so we definitely have different opinions and that's okay. because Cody: Yeah. Corey Cesare: both come here and Veronica were not doing it for me last night. Cody: Sir. Okay. Corey Cesare: but I can say that I putting Gino that far below, I I don't know how I feel about that, but that's okay. Mackenzie, I I will say I do have a bit of a bias towards him because I do want to see the full circle moment. And he's a very nice guy. I got to interview him on talent recap, but Cody: Awesome. Corey Cesare: biased here. I wanted him to go through. That's okay. Good top five. Cody: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah, that's perfectly fine. Okay, thanks. I think I still have Gino a little lower just because in his first two performances he literally did a Matt Franco trick that Matt Franco did on AGT. And so he did turn it around, he did something on his own. It was better. And so I think I've moved him up. I probably would have had him even lower if he'd done another Matt Franco trick. But the fact that he kinda did his own trick this time I helped helped him out in my rankings. but yeah, I think I was pretty proud of my rankings other than McKinsey. I just don't think McKinsey's that great. So yeah it's okay. So Corey Cesare: That's okay. I like I said, I wanted to see Simon's reaction and Simon's not even there. Cody: Yeah, so Simon's Simon's out still, or he's out for a few weeks. we found out he's having back surgery, so we we they've told us a few weeks. We don't really know what that means. Could be by quarterfinals four, could be by semifinals, we just don't know at this point. Corey Cesare: They also said it's a routine back back surgery and Cody: Yeah Corey Cesare: it's like, what does that mean? Cody: Yeah, I I usually take that as that's a it's a back surgery that they do on a frequent basis. So it's not something that's out of the ordinary for a back surgeon. Is kind of way I see it. So it's not something it's not saying that Simon is always having back surgery. It's just it's something I feel like it's something they just do all the time. And they're Yeah. Yeah. Corey Cesare: I just I I agree with you, but I find it hard to believe that during the live shows was the only time they could get him in for the for the back surgery. Cody: I agree with that. I I don't I don't know. I mean Terry did say that they could not put it off, but my thought is well why'd you do it while they were airing auditions and callbacks? Yeah. So Corey Cesare: That's what I'm saying, yeah. Like I don't think they're they're not filming BGT right now. Like I don't know, I don't know. I hope I really hope that nothing bad comes out of this because we've lost too many icons. Too many. Everybody Cody: Yes. Corey Cesare: save Simon Cowell. my god. Cody: It's it's it's been a pretty bad twenty s eight hours for us here, Corey, with Dolly Parton and Tim Curry. I guess it's been a bad week with Ha Hayden Panantieri as well, right? So Corey Cesare: Yeah, no it's true. Everybody make sure make sure Simon Cowell is okay, please, I'm begging you. Cody: Yes. Yeah. I mean I would anticipate him being back for quarterfinals four at the very latest semifinals one. He's probably gonna be a little stiff, be my guess. He's probably not gonna be moving around a lot, but we we do wanna see him back. We we hope it's a speedy recovery and we wanna see him back on A G T. Corey Cesare: And Simon, if you ever think that no one wants you on the show anymore, just remember, everybody is concerned about you right now, and we all want you back on the show. Cody: Yes. We all want you back. That's correct. Yes. we do miss you. let's see here. So we have our top five. And so for the semifinals, we have our first act going into the semifinals is Veronica. Could not be more ecstatic for this. so happy to see Veronica go into the semifinals. Again, proud member of my fantasy team. But I think she's also a really good Aerialist. Even if she was not on my team, I like her as an aerialist. She's really, really good. What what's your thoughts on that? Corey Cesare: She brings something entirely different, which I really appreciate. I like the fact that she's doing it herself, like just Cody: Mm-hmm. Corey Cesare: one person versus two people. I think it takes yeah, it no duo. it Cody: No duos. Corey Cesare: takes it an an incredible amount of strength to be able to pull that act off, let alone with no net and over the judges. That's wild to me. Cody: Yes. Corey Cesare: Personally, I think it got old quick. So I I was yeah. Cody: Okay? It did go on a little long. It did go on a little long, yeah. Corey Cesare: Yeah, I was like, this is nice. There's only so much I can see of her spinning in circles around an aerial pole. That being Cody: Sure. Yeah. Corey Cesare: said, the part where she blindfolded and then almost, you know, scared the crap out of all of us. Yeah, that was great. I really liked Cody: Yeah. Corey Cesare: that. That being said, thinking about what's coming up next. I'm concerned that her next act won't be any more than what we just saw. And listen, I'm all for your fantasy team. She's on your team, right? Okay, I hope sh I hope. I Cody: Yes. That's right. Yes. Corey Cesare: hope. She steps it up, but I'm I'm concerned for you guys right now. Cody: we took her in our with our fourth pick. Eleventh overall. Corey Cesare: Okay. Cody: Yep. Corey Cesare: Okay. Who was your first just for my my Cody: Sure. s so our s our team is Laura D. Corey Cesare: Okay. Cody: Hundred Fingers. So great week last week. we have Corey Cesare: Mm, yes. Cody: we have Erwan. Corey Cesare: Okay. Cody: Veronica. Corey Cesare: Okay. Cody: Acro crew. Corey Cesare: Nice. Cody: Yeah, petty. Corey Cesare: Not so nice. Cody: Come here. Corey Cesare: Okay. Cody: Unitree. Corey Cesare: Okay. Cody: Jesse Joe and the ninety sixers. Corey Cesare: Okay. Cody: Brooklyn. Corey Cesare: Mm, okay. Cody: Yeah, Luke Tolino, so n another one from last week. Corey Cesare: Mm, mm. Cody: Yep. we took him with the thirty second pick. So yeah. Corey Cesare: Hmm. I mean that's an interesting pick. That's an interesting pick. I'll I will say that. But he's not who we're talking about today. Cody: Yeah. no, Cameron Marshall. Corey Cesare: Okay, good choice. Cody: we took Olivia with a thirty eight pick. Corey Cesare: Okay. Cody: Tyrone and Margot. Corey Cesare: Mm, good choice. Cody: And then Brad and Tracy. So Corey Cesare: bad week for them, but that's okay. Cody: So yeah. Corey Cesare: Hey, you still have Tyrone and Margot so far. Cody: Yes we do. Yes. So we're still good. We're and Laura D hasn't performed yet, Erwan hasn't performed yet. So we're in we're in real good shape right now. Corey Cesare: I'm sure Una tree is gonna do well as well. Cody: Yes, I I hope so. I hope he c hope his robots come out and do something really, really, really nice. okay s so V Veronica's going on to the semifinals. Our next act going to the semifinals. Another proud member of Team, Cody and Commenter, come here. Let's go into the semifinals. Corey Cesare: I hope I like more in the semifinals. I'm really trying here. I'm really trying. Cody: I know. I know. I know. And and it's one of these acts that I think they were early in the auditions. I think they had an early audition. So it's been a minute since we've seen them. It's just kinda hard yeah. So it's just kinda hard Corey Cesare: Yeah. And Cody: to think back and we didn't see them in callbacks. Corey Cesare: because they went straight through. I was gonna be like, why didn't we see them in callbacks? 'Cause I always think callbacks is like judge cuts, but it's not. It's so confusing. Yeah, and I feel Cody: Yeah. They only took they only took a few of They only took a few of Yeah. Corey Cesare: like with them especially, like the first time you watch their audition, you might be focused on one person and then you see their next act and it could be a totally different person. Because there's just so many of them. So I feel like that's my maybe where I get confused. I don't know. Cody: Sure. and then our last act going through is Gino Plaguer, our Matt Franco intern. So Corey Cesare: I know you don't feel this way about it, but I personally think it was well deserved. I'm a fan of him. Cody: Okay, sure, yeah, that's great. That that's why I love this show, Corey, 'cause we there's all different Corey Cesare: Yeah. Cody: kinds of acts and mi and there's everything for everybody. And so we're all gonna ha Corey Cesare: Right. Cody: yeah. Corey Cesare: That also being said, I do really like Matt Franco. So it's Cody: Yes. Corey Cesare: probably like a bias a thing, like, because I'll be like that for a lot of acts too, where I'll be like, I don't like X, Y, and Z because they're a lot like X like these other people, you know? Cody: Uh-huh. Corey Cesare: But for Gino, I feel like it's almost I don't know, the way he talks about interning for Matt Franco and just everything about that, it just all seems very complimentary towards him. So I'm like, like he is doing this out of immense respect for the guy. That being said, Cody: Yeah. No I Corey Cesare: I don't know if I want to see him perform in the finale with Matt Franco. I think that's too much Matt Franco for me. And I like Matt Franco. Maybe Cody: Fair. Yeah. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. Corey Cesare: let's like, I don't know, because I feel like. Okay, this is a this is a huge hypothetical what if here. If Cameron Marshall and Gino both make it to the finale, this is a big if. It you you can't pair Matt Franco with Cameron. Like Cameron has to be paired with Shinlam. You know what I mean? So that's why I'm like I Cody: Yes. And you can't Yeah. Corey Cesare: I guess I'm going to end up seeing Gino with Matt Franco either way, Loki. Cody: Ha ha. Corey Cesare: I don't know. I like Magic a lot, so I'm hoping that they both are successful in this. but we'll see. Cody: Yeah, and I think it'd be mu too much on finale night to have Shinlim, Matt Franco let's just bring all the Vegas well they may d didn't they do that last year in the finale night where they brought Corey Cesare: Yes. Cody: Shin Lim, Matt Franco, Piff, right? Yeah. So they they Corey Cesare: Piff. But they did it for they did it for the ad for the new well not new anymore, but the now you can see me like third movie, I think it was. It was like an Cody: Okay. Yeah. Corey Cesare: ad for that, but it showed them all individually in Vegas first. And I remember being like, this is the coolest thing ever. Because Cody: Yeah. Corey Cesare: once again, I love magic. So I'm like, Cody: Mm-hmm. Corey Cesare: I absolutely would actually like to see this. Cody: It would be nice to see them both. I'm not sure there's enough room in the finale for two magicians. Yeah. Corey Cesare: Yes, and that that also gets back to the conversation of like when they pair two like acts together. I don't like that. So Cody: Mm-hmm. Corey Cesare: the possibility of both of them making it to the semifinals is high. I'll give him that. Cody: Yes, agreed. Yep. Corey Cesare: But finale, I don't know. It could be a Nicholas Ribbs and Yuho Jin moment again. But Cody: Yeah. Yeah. Corey Cesare: that would be really upset that would be like really upsetting if Yuho Jin was there again. Cody: I don't know. Hundred fingers. well Well, Corey Cesare: That's what I'm saying. Cody: they're already in the finale because they the Golden Buzzer last week. Yeah. Corey Cesare: That is true. So yeah, but like the good news is like they're different. They're Cody: Yes. Corey Cesare: like a magician group versus like Nicholas Ribbs versus you Cody: Yeah. Corey Cesare: know what I mean? Cody: We're compar they're a dance group that happens to do magic. Corey Cesare: That's a very flattering way of putting it. I that's that's nice. Cody: Yeah. Yeah. They're a dance group that does magic. So they're a dance group group first and then they do magic as part of that. So Yep. Corey Cesare: Interesting. I would have described them as choreographed magic. I mean I guess it's the same thing when you think Cody: Sure, sure. Yeah, that's another way yeah. Mm-hmm. Corey Cesare: about it, but yes, regardless, it's not the same situation. Thank goodness Cody: Right. Corey Cesare: for you, Ho Jin. Cody: Yes. so that's our that's our group going on to the to the next round. So Nene is going on to the finals with our golden buzzer. Veronica come here and Gino are all going to the semifinals next week. It's gonna be interesting semifinals. any other thoughts kind of on the episode or on the audition or the perform the performances? Corey Cesare: Can we talk about Nene? Cody: We could talk about Nene, absolutely. What do you want to talk about? Corey Cesare: Because I feel like low-key, like, I like the golden buzzer being in the live shows, but like at the same time, I like don't because then we don't really get to talk about the person who got the golden buzzer, Loki. And I feel like Nene, I don't wanna say came out of nowhere, but she's like our token person this season. And I'm a little like I didn't expect that at all whatsoever, especially because in the past when you've seen metal music on the stage, people haven't liked it and wouldn't vote for it. So I'm really excited for her. I know that Thailand is voting for her because well not voting, but is cheering her on because that is all I see in the talent recap Facebook comments is how much Thailand loves her. Cody: Yes. Yes. Corey Cesare: I had no idea she was such a phenomenon until after her callbacks because her callback Cody: Mm-hmm. Corey Cesare: was insane. Like they told her like you need to bring some more stage presents and she did exactly that. And she does it so well and she's so young. I mean, she's what, seventeen? Cody: Sixteen or seventeen, somewhere on there. Yeah. Corey Cesare: Yeah, like at that age I was not doing that. Like, Cody: No no way. Corey Cesare: she's incredible and I think that she is a force to be reckoned with this season. I think there is a very strong possibility she'll be hard to beat. Cody: We have some young ladies this year. Veronica and Betty, I think both turned eighteen since their audition. And then Nene is sixteen sixteen or seventeen. I think we have a couple others that are also young and talented, so it's a bright future for for them. Corey Cesare: To be honest, I didn't know Veronica was that young. I thought she was like early twenties. Okay, I'll be a little nicer to her then. Because Cody: Yeah. Corey Cesare: I've been thinking she was like in her early twenties this whole time. Cody: Yeah, I think both her and Betty turned eighteen since their audition. Yep. Corey Cesare: Wow, that's cre yeah, we have a very young season. Cody: Mm-hmm. Corey Cesare: I mean, that's great though, for the traction of the show. Cody: Yep. Yep. A lot of good talent. A lot of young good talent. anything else on Nene? 'Cause you're you're r you're right. Corey Cesare: Think that's really Cody: Like she came into the audition and of course Howie liked her. And how he liked her like he liked Courtney Hadwin. Just as excited about Corey Cesare: Right. Cody: her as he was about Courtney Hadwin. But it seemed like production and maybe they'd already done callbacks by the time all of her viral videos had gone, so they didn't really know to not do a callback unless they were trying to just get more ratings to you know, put her on the st the the screen to get more ratings during callbacks. Just seemed weird not to put her through automatically. Corey Cesare: feel the same way. I also like, I don't know, like maybe the producers looked at like the history of the show and the history of that type of music on the show. Because like it doesn't historically do well. And Cody: Mm-hmm. Corey Cesare: I but like there's something about her. Like she is a star. It doesn't mat like she could go on and sing a completely different genre and I think people would still like her. Cody: Yeah. Who was the kid? Was it last year? The the the kid. what was his name? Was he a semifinalist? Corey Cesare: The kid. Cody: Yeah, there's a kid that did d did rock music as well, the boy. Bay Melnik Baal Mel Melnick Virgolino. Yeah. Corey Cesare: Yes, but that was different. Cody: H how? Tell me. Corey Cesare: In my brain in my brain he's just a musician, like a guitar player. I Cody: Okay? Okay. Corey Cesare: don't think he was as much of a singer as Nene is. Cody: Right. Okay. Corey Cesare: I think Nene is more I guess they're both considered musicians, but I think she's more of a singer and Cody: Okay. Corey Cesare: he's more of a guitar player. Like I Cody: She's got the more she's more rounded, more well rounded. Yeah. Corey Cesare: Yeah, like I see him and I and I think, a little boy playing a guitar. I see her and I Cody: Sure it is. Corey Cesare: think like like full package, like Cody: Yeah. Corey Cesare: playing and singing and dancing and well I guess she doesn't really dance, but you know what I mean. Cody: Right. Yeah. someone threw out a a a a thing today on Reddit that was like, let's please make this pattern happen. And it was two thousand six and it was Bianca Ryan, and then it was twenty sixteen and it was Grace Vanderwall and then twenty twenty six Nay Nay. And I was like, Girl Singer who just no instrumentation, then girl singer with small acoustic instrumentation and And then girl singer with big fully electric instrumentation. Corey Cesare: See, but it makes you wonder like I I'm like in the mindset of like which alum would I get for her to perform in the finale with? Cody: Yeah. Corey Cesare: And I honestly don't know. Cody: Yeah. Corey Cesare: Right? Because she's so like and I think that that's what's so good about her. It's her and Veronica that have the same appeal, which is their act is so different. Cody: Mm-hmm. Corey Cesare: So I I I respect both of them. I just wish Veronica would do a little something more than just swirl in the pole a little bit more. Cody: Yes. And maybe she'll maybe she'll throw out some some fire, maybe she'll put a little danger in her act next time. Let's see. Corey Cesare: That being said, you know how earlier I said I didn't like Betty's outfit? Cody: Uh-huh. Corey Cesare: Loved Veronica's. Cody: Yes. Well I don't think you could wear Betty's outfit on the you know swing on a pole. Yeah. Corey Cesare: No, and like I feel like you kinda have to be a little more glitzy to be air doing aerial, but like Cody: Got it. Sir. Corey Cesare: I don't know. I I vibed with it. I loved the makeup. I everything Cody: Ha ha Corey Cesare: I all I could think about when I saw her on the results show tonight was, my god, she really had to sit through that makeup again. Cody: Yes. Corey Cesare: Like, I can't imagine how long that took. Cody: Ha ha any other thoughts so far on season twenty one that you want to talk about while we got ya? Corey Cesare: I do think it's kinda going to be a little sad to not have Simon for the rest of it. Like low Cody: Mm-hmm. Corey Cesare: not like for the rest of it, for but for at least the quarterfinals low key. Like he hasn't hit his golden buzzer yet, has he? Cody: No, but if he comes back for quarterfinals four then he could do it then. Corey Cesare: And we can only hope so, right? But I I want him Cody: Yes. Yes. Corey Cesare: to recover enough so that he doesn't have to have another routine back surgery in Cody: Yeah, they're not gonna they're not gonna roll him down on a wheelchair, roll a wheelchair up to the table, are they? Corey Cesare: And I wouldn't want them to. So I really I really do wonder if maybe if he's not going to be there, if instead this is a prediction for me. You can write this down if you want. If he's not Cody: Okay. Corey Cesare: there for quarterfinals four, is it going to be a group golden buzzer instead Cody: Yep. Corey Cesare: of his? Cody: Sure. How would they do that? So kinda walk me through how that would work. Corey Cesare: Or or crazy idea, we give Terry another golden buzzer. Cody: You could do that too. You could do that too, yes. Corey Cesare: That that could work. I think I need to I need to look into which golden buzzer acts are going to be in that week to be able to determine how that would actually work. Cody: Well, let's look at quarterfinals four. Let me pull that up real quick. And we can see who's in there. do while I'm doing that, do you anticipate any guest judges? Or you think they're gonna leave the seat open? Corey Cesare: I feel like if they were going to do a guest judge, they would have done it this week. Because I feel like I don't know, it it's so weird because it feels like this routine back surgery was a bit of a surprise to everybody. So I've I once again I question how routine it is, and I hope he's okay. Cody: Yes. Corey Cesare: you know, that being said, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw someone who was in the callback area of the judges. Cody: yeah. Corey Cesare: That being said, I don't know who I would want to see. I I Cody: I think I think Nikki Glazer Nikki Glazer would do a great job. Corey Cesare: She's a great side character, she really is. I Cody: Mm-hmm. Okay. Corey Cesare: since watching Canada's Got Talent, I can't do two comedians on the same panel. I can't Cody: Okay. Corey Cesare: do it ever again. It was not my favorite. Lele Pons would be an interesting choice, but I don't I don't really know. Like I know she's really big on social media. She was great on dancing with the stars. I don't know what she would bring to the panel. I'm gonna be real with you there. I don't know. And some of the Cody: I'm I'm glad I'm glad they didn't bring back Trisha Paytas this week. Corey Cesare: my goodness. I mean, hey, full circle moment for her since her audition, but Cody: Yeah. Yeah. Corey Cesare: that would be crazy if she was a j if she was a guest judge. Cody: Yeah. Corey Cesare: Give her a golden buzzer at this point. Like that's fine with me actually. It Cody: Ha ha ha Corey Cesare: might be a little insane. Cody: quarterfinals four. So we've got Akira. Corey Cesare: Okay. Cody: Burden Byron. Corey Cesare: Okay. Cody: The vocal the duo, the vocal singing duo. Cameron Corey Cesare: Yeah. Cody: Cameron Logston, an impressionist. Corey Cesare: Mm, mm. Cody: Cesar Diaz, the comedian. Corey Cesare: You know, Cameron Logston literally said in his audition, if you guys ever need a night off or something, here are the resumes of other people who can fill in for you. Cody: Yes. Corey Cesare: If if Simon is not there and he does not run back that joke, then I think that's a lost opportunity. Cody: Yeah, yeah. Caesar Corey Cesare: Okay, who else is there? Caesar Diaz? Cody: Diaz, Jesse Joe. Corey Cesare: Jesse Joe. I don't what does Jesse Joe do again? Cody: He's Singer. Corey Cesare: Okay. Cody: Jesse Joe and the Jesse joined the ninety sixers from from West from W Yeah, yeah. They Corey Cesare: the ninety sixters, okay. Yeah, I remember them now. Cody: didn't they didn't add the ninety sixers to the thing here. Laura D, so two two team Cody and Commenters so far. Corey Cesare: Okay. Cody: Ruben, so Laura D is a possibility for a golden buzzer. Ruben Roldan, the parkour, one legged parkour act. Corey Cesare: Okay. Didn't okay, so Simon gave him the golden buzzer. Cody: Yes. Corey Cesare: Okay. I feel like they try not to give the golden buzzer opportunity to the person who gave it to someone. Cody: how we had it last week and gate to Hundred Fingers. So hundred fingers Corey Cesare: And he gave it Cody: is two time golden buzzer. Corey Cesare: So basically we've already lost the plot, gotcha. Okay. So never mind. No one cares. Cody: Yes. Yeah. Yeah, and Mel B had it this week and McKenzie Soul was in this one. Corey Cesare: I always forget that it wasn't Simon who hit it for Mackenzie. Cody: Yeah. Yeah, she was all about McKinsey and there was the other act she was just all hot and bothered with the two hot female two hot male singers. Corey Cesare: Isaac Atkins. Cody: Yes. Corey Cesare: Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Cody: the two worst golden buzzers of the season. Travis Garland. Dancing with the Stars. Yes. Corey Cesare: Hm, Dancing with the Stars singer. Yeah, I know him. Cody: Tyrone and Margot. Corey Cesare: Okay, another another codying commenter pick. I see you. Cody: Yep. Yep. Yep. And Unitree as well. Yes. Corey Cesare: my god, you guys have another loaded episode of it. Cody: Ours are very even throughout. We've somehow we got it where we have a few in each episode. Jay and Scott, like I think they have six in this episode. Yes. Corey Cesare: my god. Cody: So six of their acts I think are in this episode. yep. Corey Cesare: man. Cody: And Young and Strange is the other one. Corey Cesare: Young and Strange. What is what is that one again? Cody: They're the the comedic magicians, kind of like the passing zone, very similar. Yep. Corey Cesare: Yes, yes. I'm I'm still a little surprised they made it this far and I can't wait to see what they do because I do like that as we know from this episode, magic and comedy I like too. Cody: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yes. Yep. Corey Cesare: It could either go really well or really bad and I can't wait to see. Cody: Yeah. Corey Cesare: So okay, I feel like there's definitely the opportunity for it to be a group golden buzzer. Yeah. But I think lot Cody: Mm. So how would that how would that how would that work, Corey? Tell me how that would work. Corey Cesare: You know, I I wish I could give you more information, but I really don't. I really Cody: Okay. Well so Corey Cesare: don't know how it would work. Cody: does Howie kinda just listen to the audience and he kind of coordinates it? I mean how does 'cause they got they can only pick one. Corey Cesare: I'm doesn't Howie always do that? I feel like that's kinda how Howie always does it. Cody: Yeah. So I'm I'm just wondering like is the the crowd gets excited about one 'cause they get excited about a lot of acts. So I'm just trying to Yeah. Guess they do. Yes they do. Corey Cesare: They do, and they say golden buzzer for almost everything at this point. I mean, good for them. I would love to do that as well. Cody: Yeah. Corey Cesare: I don't know. I feel like the most logical way of doing it would be to have like literally have Terry give another golden buzzer. Cody: I I I agree. Yeah. Corey Cesare: And I think it's a little mean actually that he doesn't get another one, but I he can't he got two this year in the auditions. We can't complain Cody: Yes. Corey Cesare: about that. Cody: And they're not gonna have five quarterfinals. Corey Cesare: No, there's never five. There's only ever four. Cody: No. Yeah. Corey Cesare: But if Simon, for whatever reason, did have to sit this one out, then Terry should be able to step up. And I I I got a r a comment on Facebook, on the talent recap Facebook the other day, saying that Simon's son should step in for him. And I'm like, I Cody: Eric's to do it. Yes, that's Corey Cesare: think Eric's a little too young for that. There's like laws against that actually. Cody: There'll be leg leag legality against that? Yeah. Corey Cesare: Yeah, 'cause he's he's early teens, I think. Cody: Wow, that's it's hard to think that he's that old so far already. Golly. Corey Cesare: It's crazy. He looks just like Simon too. It's insane. But it'll be interesting to see. Cody: Yeah. Yeah. let let's look ahead to week three to quarterfinals three real quick. Let's kinda preview that. Come in and I'll be back later, like on Sunday, to go into more a deeper dive on quarterfinals three. But let's let's kind of look ahead and see what we got here. So we got Acrocrew, the dog act in quarterfinals three. Daniel Alvarez, the comedian, Elsie, singer Guy Kelton Jones? What do you think of the poet? Since we haven't had one since season fifteen. Corey Cesare: You know, I I'm a huge fan of Brandon Leek. I really I really loved his season. I don't think Guy Kelton does it for me. And I really want him to, but I Cody: Okay. Mm. Corey Cesare: just don't think he does. Cody: Okay. Erwine, the sword swallower. Holland Corey Cesare: You know, I I'm happy to see Erwan again. Cody: Yes. We like Erwan. We we really like Erwan. Corey Cesare: Don't know if like is the correct word, because I'm a Cody: Ha ha. Corey Cesare: little repulsed by what he does, but Cody: I mean the incredible thing he did last time was that you know, basically a lightsaber. He s shoved a lightsaber down his throat, so Corey Cesare: I will never forget that audition. I will never Cody: Yeah. Corey Cesare: ever ever forget that. I Listen I I'm watching it through my hands. I can't I can't with that. And I love Cody: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Corey Cesare: Danger Ags, but he's terrifying to me. Cody: Holland and Siena are aerial duo. Isaac Atkins, the singer, the Mel B Goldbuzzer, Cameron Marshall, Magician, Leigh Noel, singer, Maria Con Maria just Maria, the contortionist, and Corey Cesare: Okay, I was really happy to see Maria on this list. I Cody: Yeah. Corey Cesare: somehow like through the like the callbacks and everything, 'cause I think Maria just went straight through, right? Cody: So she was listed as a wild card, but our thought was how can she be a wild card when she just was put through? It's not really a wild card. Corey Cesare: See, and because she was listed as a wild card, I had no Cody: Yeah. Corey Cesare: idea that she was even gonna be on until I saw like the preview and everything. And I was like, Cody: Yeah. Corey Cesare: like I'm actually really happy to see that because Cody: Yeah. Corey Cesare: she is the most bendy person I think I've ever seen in my entire life. And she's young too. Cody: Yeah. Yep. She's young as well. I think she's fourteen, maybe. Fourteen or fifteen. Yeah. Corey Cesare: I think so as well. Cody: then we have Pink Beard. Pink with a Y. Corey Cesare: Is that it? that's it, okay. Cody: Y that's it. That's the last act. Yep. Yep. Yeah, we only go through the piece this time. Corey Cesare: I see. Last time it ended in Veronica? Cody: today it ended in Veronica. Auditions four ended in Young and Strange, so we went all the way to the Yes. So Corey Cesare: Mm, gotcha. Okay. Cody: yeah. Corey Cesare: Pinkbeard is is very f very interesting. I I don't wanna make a prediction here that I can't take back, but I wouldn't be surprised if Pinkbeard was the golden buzzer next week. Cody: that's a pretty that's a pretty good prediction. That's a pretty hard pretty Corey Cesare: I'm telling you, Cody: hot take there. Corey Cesare: I know in that in that audition you could tell the judges were like, I wish I had a golden buzzer. Cody: Yeah. Corey Cesare: And that's the that is the vibe I wish Travis Garland had. Cody: Okay. Corey Cesare: Because I feel like he doesn't get enough credit. They were too nonchalant about he sings on Dancing with the Stars. I'm like, I don't think you guys realize it's a two hour show where he is singing Cody: Yeah. Corey Cesare: the entire time. Cody: I struggle with Travis Garland a little bit because he's he sings the songs exactly like they are supposed be sung, is that correct? Corey Cesare: Yes. Cody: So he does what, eight of ten of Each each week? Corey Cesare: Well, at the beginning he does fourteen. At the beginning he does fourteen. Cody: Four okay. But he does this but he's not allowed to give them his own. He sings them basically his exact covers, correct? And I think that's right's struggle. Corey Cesare: Yes, but he's singing it with a live band. Cody: Sure. Corey Cesare: I don't know if that helps you at all. But Cody: I love live bands, yes. Corey Cesare: personally, the way I feel about it is that Travis Garland currently is working for Dancing with the Stars, which we all have a day job, I get you, man. Cody: Yeah. Corey Cesare: but he is trying to break out of that. Because here's the thing, I'm a huge fan of Dancing with the Stars. I've never known what that man's name is, nor have I seen him on screen. I give him Cody: Okay. You just heard his voice every week. Corey Cesare: Right. So like it's kinda like when people come on the show and they're like, I was a backup a backup singer. And it's just like, okay, well I've never heard of you before. Like I genuinely had never heard of him before until he was like, I'm one of the people on Dancing with the Stars. So Cody: Yeah. It's like Royal Lasers. They were all backup dancers to light balance. Corey Cesare: I I mean that's a little obvious, but yes, exactly like that. Cody: Yeah. So Corey Cesare: I I have I give him respect because I can respect anybody who's trying to get out of the mold that they've been placed into. Cody: Sure. Yeah. Corey Cesare: So I respect him for that. And low key, I just wish that they gave him the same treatment as Pinkbeard. But Pink Beard is also really good. Cody: Yeah. So if he wants to do that though, he's he's gotta do it. And so far two performances he's done exact covers. He ev I mean he completely Corey Cesare: I know. Cody: scripted his audition. Corey Cesare: Haha. Cody: So the glas and he admitted the glasses and everything. He scripted the whole thing. So if you're gonna Corey Cesare: I mean Cody: do that, you gotta you gotta loosen it up and you gotta give it your own. Corey Cesare: Yeah, unfortunately he's on the wrong show to be giving a bunch of covers. I can list two others that would Cody: Yeah. Corey Cesare: really appreciate that and it's not America's Got Talent. Cody: Yep. Yep. anything else you want to talk about? How are things going over at talent recap?
