Quarterfinals 3 Pregame | Season 21 | America's Got Talent · AGT Time Pod - America's Got Talent Fancast

• Cody: Hey everyone, welcome to the season twenty-one quarterfinals three pregame. Of course I'm alwa always here with AGT Commenter. How you doing Commenter? For the second time. AGTCommenter: Always here for the second time. As always for the second time. it's great to be here. we're recording this just short of seven PM C T here on Sunday night, so Cody and I are wrapping up the weekend with with a little pod and and we've got another quarter final to talk about, Cody. Cody: Yes, quarterfinals three. Then we're we're AGTCommenter: Quarterfinals three. Cody: over halfway with quarter we well, we just completed halfway of quarterfinals, so AGTCommenter: Yeah. Yeah. So two two of those left. So we're we're down to four live shows. Four weeks, Cody, and then you're kicking your feet up. Cody: Ha ha AGTCommenter: We're taking a little break. so we're in the we're in the sprint of the finish here. How about you tell people where to find us and then let's rock. Cody: So you find us on our socials at AGT Time Pod. You can email us AGT Timepod at gmail dot com. Check out our website, AGT timepod.com. And of course you can find Commenter out there at AGT Commenter. AGTCommenter: Quarterfinals three. Do we do you have anything non AGT related? Cody: I don't. Not this time. Not today. Okay. Yes. AGTCommenter: Let's do this. Keenan Thompson. Let's do this first. Yeah. So we know Simon is out. he's still not going to be returning here on on Tuesday. We we assume that was the case. They said at least a couple weeks was kind of the sense, so maybe we'll get him in quarterfinals four. Maybe it won't be till the following week or maybe even the finals. We did an emergency pod. You, myself, and then our our friend Steven came on. We did an emergency bot about a pod about Simon's back and his his his new absence. And we kind of gave all of the options, Cody. We we talked about who could be the guest judge, will they even have a guest judge? What will they do? I kind of spent about two minutes being like, I think it's possible they just won't even bother if he's gonna be coming back. I looked like the smartest human being on the planet last week because there was no guest judge, and it looked like Commenter was right on it. He's coming back in a couple weeks. They there's no reason to to do a guest judge. And then here we are. So Cody, what changed? What do they just not have the time to get one figured out and ready for QF two and they decided we'll just do the first one? Or they really didn't like the three judge panel. Like what happened here? Cody: I I think that someone in production listened to the pod AGTCommenter: No you think so? Cody: and was like, commenter made a prediction that we're not gonna have Simon. We'll we'll show them. AGTCommenter: Yeah. Cody: Because that's what they've been doing all this whole season, right? They've been doing something, we then talk about it, then they AGTCommenter: They zag every single one of our zigs. Cody: pull the rug out from under us every single time. Yes. So AGTCommenter: Yeah, so for those that haven't seen Keenan Thompson of season fifteen, Guest Judging Lore, from SNL, Keenan and Cal, all that. And he's been around for a long time. He has been a a notable television comedy name for since I was probably it's twenty five years, probably. Yeah, yeah. Cody: Sure, early two thousands, yeah. Yeah. AGTCommenter: Maybe even more. So He's gonna be guest judging. He'll do a perfectly fine job. This is Cody: You'll do a great job. Yeah. AGTCommenter: yeah, they they could have done a lot worse. This news was not like bad news by any means. I just confused at why we Cody: Yes. AGTCommenter: didn't have one last week. And the news of Simon's absence broke, correct me here, on Monday. Cody: Yes. AGTCommenter: Sunday night I saw remember Yeah. Cody: Yes. AGTCommenter: It had started to circulate Sunday night, but the press or the press kind of started putting it all out on Monday. And maybe. The show didn't know, like it was uncertain and then the Simon made the decision on Sunday and they just didn't have the turnaround time. And maybe that's why. But did you feel like the three judge panel last week was was clunky and and they the show didn't know how to operate without that fourth judge? 'Cause I didn't necessarily get that sense. Cody: I n I didn't get that sense at all. I thought they did a fine job. In fact I thought it felt tighter. AGTCommenter: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Well, and it allowed Mel to do like a 40 minute Golden Buzzer press monologue in live Cody: Sure, yeah. AGTCommenter: shows because we didn't have the extra chat from from Simon. But yeah, I don't know. I this is not a huge deal at all. The judges are not that big a deal. It really only matters is is Keenan Thompson gonna get a live show Golden Buzzer. We would Cody: Doubt AGTCommenter: as if you're the show, you're only doing it if you run out of options, right? So you are it's almost a certainty that Sophia's gonna be the Golden Buzzer this week. 'Cause there's if Simon's healthy and ready to go next week, it's w sounds like a sports team. If if Simon's healthy and he can play, he's gonna start. Cody: Yeah. Well Yeah, one one and a one and a half episodes for Keenan Thompson. Over under. Okay. AGTCommenter: Over. I think I think we'll I think Simon will just come back once we get to the next round. So Cody: Semifinals. Okay. AGTCommenter: my gut tells me they'll give Terry the live show Golden Buzzer in QF four. And here we are making predictions about this show. That'll be they'll give it they'll give it to the Cody: You y you know. AGTCommenter: to the pr the the one of the earlier quarterfinals performers will have the Golden Buzzer for all we know. Cody: Yes. You know, commenter, I'm okay with making these predictions and talking about all this stuff because I want to see what they're gonna do to zig and zag away from what we talk about. So yeah. AGTCommenter: Yeah. Yeah. We if we should test what our control is, how much control we actually have here. Cody: Yeah. Right. Right. AGTCommenter: but yeah. So if Keenan Thompin com Thompson gets the Golden Buzzer, that'll be great trivia f for the future. Who's the only non full time judge to press a live show Golden Buzzer? He'll he'll have his own piece trivia, but he'll do a fine job. It's not gonna mess up the show at all. But just Cody: He's a professional, yeah. AGTCommenter: he's a pro, yeah. So congrats to Keenan Thompson. I believe Non-COVID season related, because doesn't really count. I think we've only had like two or three guest judges in live shows ever. Queen Latifah did that random one off in season fourteen. I think Simon just thought the other yeah, this he was so sick of Julianne and Cody: Yeah, that's a semifinal. AGTCommenter: and Gabrielle that he just needed a one more in there to to give him a break. And then we had I feel like did we have any did Eric Stone Street do a live show? That might have been COVID season, though. I th that Queen Latifah Cody: That was COVID season, yes. AGTCommenter: might be the only one. This might be again, outside of the COVID season, which which had really a full time fill ins. It was more, you know, the this little one off thing is kind of odd. So but Keenan Thompson will be there for quarterfinals three, which consists of these eleven, Cody. So Acro crew from Team Cody and Commenter, Beefus and the Buttheads. they hail f Cody: Our second dog act. Our second dog act. Yeah. AGTCommenter: Our second dog act. We took them what? We took them fourteenth overall. They are a golden buzzer. Terry Cruz is Golden Buzzer, right? from Auditions One. Daniel Alvarez from the Bach Brothers, comedian. He is from auditions five. Elsie, our our Beyonce look alike, from Ryan and Stevens team. She's from Audition Six. Guy Kelton Jones from Ryan and Stevens team, auditions three, our guy. Cody Erwan, Cody: Yes. AGTCommenter: auditions four. Holland and Sienna, Ryan and Ryan and Stevens team auditions two. they are the the circumarea of this season. They were our duo aerialist. Yes. Cody: Yeah. There are duo, yes. Yep. AGTCommenter: I probably should have done LC I mentioned singer. Guy Kelton Jones was our spoken word poet singer, and then Erwan is our sword swallowing aerial aerialist. So, and then another golden buzzer. It is Isaac Atkins, Mel's Golden Buzzer from Auditions Three. He he is on the Bach Brothers' team. he was our military singer. Cameron Marshall, shout out, Cody and Commenters, Magician, from Auditions five. Le Noel, the third overall pick, was heavily considered to be the second overall pick by us, but went to to Ryan and and Steven from Auditions one, the first golden buzzer of the season. First early release of the season, it has been a long time Cody: Yes. AGTCommenter: since we've seen her, heard from her, so I'm interested to see what she does. Cody: it been so we had seven auditions, two callbacks. Has it been like twelve weeks since we've seen her? I mean 'cause we've had we had the fourth of July, we've had Okay. AGTCommenter: It's been more than yeah it's been more than that. So any of these auditions woners I wanna do this. We have two audition one acts next week too. So Tyrone and Margot and Unitree. So for them it will have been So seven auditions. So six weeks after them. We had the fourth of July, so there's seven Cody: Fourth fourth of July. Yes. AGTCommenter: weeks. Two callbacks is nine weeks. and then we had two quarterfinals, so eleven, so twelve twelve so to be twelve weeks for this week and thirteen weeks for it's a long time. It's hard to remember what they did. Cody: Yes. No, right? Yeah. AGTCommenter: and of course Tyrone and Margot and Unitry are both on our team next week. But so I'm interested to see her I think Very, very good chance she's gonna she's gonna get some votes. Maria from the Bach Brothers, our contortionist from Audition Seven, and then Pinkbeard, our pink bearded singer, songwriter from Cody: With a why. AGTCommenter: all from with a Y, also from season seven, that's Ryan and and Steven's team. That eleven. Does it hit ya? Do you like it? What's what's the gut reaction when you hear the eleven names? Cody: It's it's nice and balanced, I'll say. AGTCommenter: Sure. Cody: It's nice and balanced. It's got variety in it. We got dogs, comedy, singing, airless magicians. I think they've mixed it up very well. We've got some good stuff, we've got some bad stuff. I think they did a good job on this audition really mixing it up. AGTCommenter: Yeah. Cody: Yeah. AGTCommenter: Two quarterfinals in. I was underwhelmed by the first one. I thought was not as good as I thought it was be. I thought last week was better than I thought it was gonna be. I thought it was a I thought it was a n thought it was a solid a solid episode. Cody: There was a clear cut top three in that one. AGTCommenter: Yes, I would agree. and you and I both had the same acts go through that or we had our top four all went through. We Cody: Mm-hmm. AGTCommenter: flip flopped who we thought third and four three and four were. But I would agree. there was nobody that went home that I was like, How did they go home? I there's ones I would have loved to have seen gone through. McKenzie's soul going home was s c slightly surprising just 'cause the golden buzzer, but otherwise, yeah. No, it was but I thought Yeah, was there some bad stuff? Certainly. Brad and Tracy stunk. shout out team AGT Commenter and Cody La Russell stunk. But I thought between that top four you mentioned, Veronica, come here, Gino, and Nene were all really good. And Cody: Mm-hmm. AGTCommenter: was a was a good episode. So I'm hoping that this here and there's some names I really like. and you mentioned it. It's it's pretty mixed. So Elsie's a singer, Isaac Atkins, Ley Noel, and Pinkbeard. So Four of the eleven are singers. We've got one dog act, if you wanna say. I guess Guy Kelton Jones is kind of a singer, a hybrid. But between Erwan, Hawn and Sienna, we get a couple of Arielus type acts. so it is going to be there. But when I look at it, trying to figure out what's gonna happen. We're in this era now, Cody, where there's always at least three golden buzzers every episode. Because we gotta get we gotta get to ten Through these four. No, sorry, not not at least three. Always at least two. And then two of have three. Uh-huh. And this is one of the ones with three. So did we have three last week? Veronica Mackenzie Soul. No, we had two. We had three in in the first week. So this is another this is another three three golden buzzer week. Acrocrew, Isaac Atkins, Le Noel. If you had to rank the likelihood of one of those i let's say two of go through, one does it. Who who when you hear those three are you like, that's the one that's the odd one out, probably? Cody: I think a Isaac Atkins is the odd one out. Yes. AGTCommenter: Really? I'm glad you said that, 'cause my gut just tells me it's the dog act because of the singing. But at the same time, Beefus is in the semis. Cody: Okay. AGTCommenter: and and perhaps one of those will get another golden buzzer. It's not it's not impossible any longer like we thought it might have been for a long time, but Cody: Acro crew's listed as a dog act, but they're also kind of an acrobatic dancing act. AGTCommenter: Right. So there might be enough fun kind of variety within the act that that people will like. I think Erwan is the best act of the night. It's going to be. We we loved him, it's why we picked him. I think I'm really interested does he have a little bit of variation to stuff he's done? Can he add a little bit of something? But he got rejected in that weird dumb five core qualifier season, just didn't get into the top two on the night in his his qualifier episode. Here's his chance. What's your confidence level of Erwan having a chance to to advance in the top three if he's not a golden buzzer? Cody: I'm pretty confident. I think looking at this list, I'm pretty confident that he can get the votes to move on to the semifinals. AGTCommenter: I would agree. It's just We talk about how crummy those five qualifiers were and only two went through. Three's not much better. And every night once you get around to results and you start to remember it's only three, it's not as easy as it looks. We're making it look easy as a team, because we're just we're basically sending all of our acts through. Last week we had our first golden buzzer go home. Mackenzie Soul. So we were we are four for f four for five on advancing the Golden Buzzers. One one of them already. in the live shows. But that's always a safe b starting point. Cause my question for you, Cody, would be let's go back to quarterfinals one for a second. Hundred Fingers gets that golden buzzer, right? Let's Cody: Yes. Yeah. AGTCommenter: say they didn't. And let's say Howie had given it to Brooklyn the next performance or maybe it would have been Beefus or whatever. Would you correct me if I'm wrong, but if hundred fingers would have went to the vote, you th they probably just would have went through, right? Cody: Yes, I think that's still what I went through. I think AGTCommenter: And Royal Lasers probably like it the three that went through might have just been the three golden buzzers. Cody: yeah, I don't think well I don't think Olivia goes through if Yeah. AGTCommenter: Right. So then yeah, the three golden buzzers night all went through probably would have went through on the vote. Very good chance. So Cody: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Mm-hmm. AGTCommenter: that might just be the answer, as we sit here and go, Erwan, he'd say he doesn't get the golden buzzer, and I think Guy Kelton Jones is an act that deserves to go through that's not a golden buzzer, and maybe he'll get it, but there's a ch there's a chance it's just kind of the answers right here in front of us. I don't hope it's I hope it's not the case. Because I don't think Isaac Atkins is a semifinal level act. Or singer. And Acro Crew I I I I think is right on the borderline of that. If if they weren't a if they weren't on our team, I probably would say they probably shouldn't go through, but we'll see. So I'm excited about this episode. I think there's some really interesting the structure of it. We've now had two weeks and week one it was like if you didn't perform at the end of the episode you didn't have a prayer and we had quarterfinals two. If you didn't perform at the beginning of the episode you didn't have You didn't have a prayer. So we had Acts two, four, and six went through on the vote last week and and two weeks ago Acts nine, ten and and eleven. Excuse me, eight, nine and eleven went through. so Cody: I think positioning also has a lot to do with the golden buzzer 'cause they're not gonna give it to the first act of the night and they're not gonna give it to the last act of the night. Yeah. AGTCommenter: Correct. No. We yes, we've talked about this. It's a flawed system. There's a sweet spot. Mel was right on the cusp of it last week. I'm but they they know the order. They must. The the the judges because you can see Cody: Yeah. AGTCommenter: them waiting at times. She was very close to pressing it for for Couple X. I felt like she was gonna put press it for Gino, and I really felt like she was gonna press it for come here. And she didn't cause she knew obviously she knew Nene was coming, but unless Nene was gonna close the night, you y you had no reason you unless she knew that, then she would have pressed it. So she knew she had to have known. And I wanted to talk about that. The Cody: Mm. Yeah, which is probably why they didn't cl why she didn't close the night. Okay. AGTCommenter: golden buzzer has ruined proper structure of the episode. She's the closer. And how many Cody: Yes. Because nine night should have closed the nine. Yeah. Yes. AGTCommenter: times have we talked over the years in season or season rewatches? We talk about who's who's the closer, who's gonna close it, who should close it, and this dumb golden buzzer in these live shows has ruined all the quarterfinals as order. You you you should not be putting a very good act last because i it you're you're depriving them of their chance at potentially getting a gold buzzer. And if the list comes out and I'm last, I'm like, what is this all about? Like w Cody: Ha ha ha. AGTCommenter: why do I have to be last? So it's a flaw a deeply flawed system. Didn't Howie press it for the second to a to last act last year? And we Cody: Second to last. AGTCommenter: you and I were on the results episode Cody: Mm-hmm. AGTCommenter: the next night and we were like, Here's the there's the flaw. Like 'cause I think it was the choir performed last and we were like, what if he hadn't pressed it? Would the choir just come out and be like and just wave? Cody: Yeah, it was Yeah. Yeah, he gave it to Team Recycled and it's spot ten and then the choir was spot eleven. Yes. I don't know AGTCommenter: What would happen? What was your plan, Howie? You know, so it's but that's also like yeah, you can try and put some of the better names in the middle, but what if they bomb? It's not s there's no guarantees. Nene was probably a bit of a guarantee, but there's rarely gonna be guarantees. Anybody can come out and and play the piano upside down out of nowhere. So but I I think do you think this would be better than last week? Cody: I think yes, I think on average it's gonna be better than last week. Yeah. I'm not AGTCommenter: Yeah, I think that's probably true. so Cody: I'm not seeing anyone here that I'm just like, whereas last week, Patrocks, Nigel and Red Nigel and Zaya, AGTCommenter: Right. Cody: even McKenzie Sol and Lil Russell, I like, Ugh. I gotta watch them. So AGTCommenter: I would agree. Yeah, there's no there's no terribleness here. I'm Cody: No. AGTCommenter: not a huge Maria fan. I wasn't a huge Isaac Atkins fan. but yeah, I think everybody here can go out and put on a a respectable performance for for Cody: Yes. AGTCommenter: a live show. I don't think last week that that was the case. three of them are gonna be one of them's gonna go to the finals to join oops Nene and Hundred Fingers. And then three of them are gonna go to semis to join Veronica, Royal Lazers, come here, Gino Plaguer, Luke Tolino, and Olivia Beefus, which is basically just us reading the list of our names of our team. Cody: Yes. Yeah. AGTCommenter: but the the live shows are coming together, the or the excuse me, the semifinals and the final, but speaking of Fantasy League, Cody, another banner night for Cody: Yes. AGTCommenter: Beefus and the Buttheads last week. Six more points under our belt. Shout out to to come here and Veronica making the making the the semifinals, picking up six more points. We're running away with this right now. Sixteen points for us, eight for Steven and Ryan, and six for the Bach brothers. The the problem right now for Steven and Ryan, the math is starting to they don't they don't have very many acts still in the competition. Cody: Yeah. AGTCommenter: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven of their fifteen have already been eliminated. So they have half their axe left. And if you look at this week, they have Holland and Sienna, Pink Beard, Elsie, and Guy Kelton Jones and Le Noel. So they have five. So no matter what, at least two more. Sorry, at least one more is getting eliminated. So no matter what happens, best case scenario Tuesday night, they will Cody: They sweep. AGTCommenter: They will have more gone than they have on their team remaining. And that's really the issue they're running into. And I doubt they sweep. If I had to guess, four of their five won't go through on the golden buzzer and the three going through. And so I think there's a very good chance that those guys have like ten of their of their fifteen just gone after after tonight. And that's that's really hard. We already have one, two, three, four, f we already have five advanced and we only have three that have been outright eliminated. So we're sitting real pretty. Cody: Has there been a has there been a bigger fall from Grace than Ryan from last season? Well Yes. I mean, AGTCommenter: I mean and the tweets he's sending just being like if I would have been there it'd have been different. I'm like, wow. Did you see some of those? He was just Cody: Steven's like w okay, they're with that bus. It's like AGTCommenter: Yeah, I'm just like I was shocked. Let's let's let's pull a couple of these. Cody: Hey, I came on the pod last week and I apologized for my comments about the you know, what I said during the recap pod the week before, but I'm like, You and I we're on the same page. AGTCommenter: Yes. Cody: Yes, yes. AGTCommenter: You draft where you think the others will take axe, not where you always think they should go. Also, I wasn't there to draft. If I was, a lot of your team wouldn't be your team. Cody: Yeah. AGTCommenter: man. Cody: Well, you know, choices. You chose to go to Ireland. So AGTCommenter: Yeah. He did say he realized after doing this now, sitting out the draft, that a lot of drafting strategy changes on the fly, that you can't just make Cody: Yes. AGTCommenter: a list and go down the list. But yeah, he did mention that they he did throw a shot about mock drafts. I don't know why that's a why that's a why that's like a gotcha on us. We Cody: Yeah. AGTCommenter: didn't come up with the idea of mock draft. We didn't invent Cody: Yeah. AGTCommenter: something new here. We just got on a call and were like, hey, if they pick this person, who would you pick? It wasn't you'd swear we like we broke in and stole something, a secret formula from somewhere and be Look who we have. We just we just did a few mock drafts. I don't know what to tell you. but yeah, He he also said that they have their two best acts still, and their second overall pick had been eliminated. So who's your second? If Cody: Yeah. AGTCommenter: if if not your second pick. So but no. And then the Bach brothers are they're right there. They're in last, but they've had very few go. Cody: Yeah. Yeah. AGTCommenter: So they're they're so sixteen for us, eight for Ryan and Steven, and six for for for Jay and for Jay and Scott. But Cody: Did did did Ryan think we just like broke into the water gate or something and like it's like AGTCommenter: That's what I'm saying. He's like, some of us didn't have access to mock drafting. It's like, what are you talking about? one, two, three. They've only had five acts go. The the Bach brothers. So that's yes, they're behind. I would rather be if you're ranking, who would you rather be right now? You'd want to be us, then you'd want to be the Bach brothers, then you'd want to be. This can flip on its head in a second. I mean, our list, I like some of our acts this week. We have a golden buzzer going, which I'm always, you know, I'm always happy about. But our acts this week are Acro Crew, Erwan, Cameron Marshall, yeah, just those three. So we we we what we did is we got four, four, three, four. And that's Cody: Mm-hmm. AGTCommenter: made for a nice balance. But there's a chance very good chance we go over three. And now the the the competition starts to to get a little tighter. Cody: And we've given Ryan opportunities to come on and talk about us taking AGTCommenter: Yeah, he v won't defend himself. but yeah. One two one two Two, three, four, five, six, seven yeah, seven. So if if they go two for three would be a good night. Or two for five. Like getting two acts through, they still would be down to to just five five names left on their list, and they only have two that have gone through. So the Bach brothers have Nane, which is obviously a good spot to be, because she appears to be the the favorite currently. She's in the finals, and that's it. So there have been one, two There have been eight that have advanced. We got five of Cody. and I I think we'll I think we'll find points as well as an advancement somewhere this week. I I do. But Yeah. Our first pick hasn't even got hasn't even performed yet. Our third pick hasn't performed yet. Our fifth pick hasn't performed yet. So yeah, I I like where we're at. Everything could we could go O for the rest of the way though. None Cody: Yes. AGTCommenter: of our acts in the semis could advance and any and Airwan could or a hundred fingers could take sixth. And we'll be we'll be done. So i a lot of a lot of time left. But it's gonna be it's gonna be a fun night. from there. I did want to look at Cody before we get into our our little mid mid season con competition that we have. We've reached a point now where it doesn't really make sense. I've been tracking how the auditions have been doing, right? Who's who's getting eliminated, which auditions, one through four versus five through seven. We're at the point now where it doesn't the tracking who's been eliminated doesn't make a ton of sense because half the season is just half the season, so As you whittle it down, eventually you can only keep within a within a couple of each, because you're getting rid of everybody. So really where we're now focusing on is who's going through. Cody, we have yet to. For the six acts that are in the semis, we have yet to repeat an audition. We have six acts from six different auditions in the c in the semis. Ain't that something? Yeah. Cody: Whoa. That's incredible. Yeah. AGTCommenter: Everyone but audition seven. So we've got Yeah, one from auditions one, two, three, four, five, and six. Kind of amazing. and Cody: That is amazing. AGTCommenter: and then our two li final Gold our Golden Buzzers were were two different auditions as well, Auditions two and auditions five. So right now there's there's no there there's technically more from from the first four auditions just because there's there's there's one more of those. But yeah, interesting. so I think we'll start to see some of the some of that play out. we got two from auditions seven this week, but But yeah, no it'd be interesting, but Cody: And once auditions was over, we were saying we didn't know who the front run I mean, obviously like Nene, but other than AGTCommenter: Yeah. Cody: that, we didn't like know who the front runners were at this point at after AGTCommenter: No. Cody: auditions. AGTCommenter: No. A and and I still she has so much working against her. Didn't get an audition Golden Buzzer. It was an Auditions Five, is in a crowded field of of talent category. Cody: But she did go with callbacks. Yes. AGTCommenter: Went to callbacks, which we don't know if that's good or bad. Should be tracking that, who went home. and now has right, but now she has Cody: She's she's getting exposure. She's getting exposure though. She's getting yeah. AGTCommenter: this death wish that's been the live show Golden Buzzer. So she's Cody: I know. So it's like AGTCommenter: got like everything is working against her. And yet I I have a hard time seeing someone usurp her and and actually beat her. She just seems kinda like an unstoppable force. And we're gonna go three straight solo singers, Cody. It's kinda it would be The first time since we went f we went three, four, five, and six. We went four in a row in three, four, five, six. So, Cody: And four of the fur and sorry, five of the first six. AGTCommenter: Correct. But yeah, so back to back to back has only happened once for for any talent cat category. So this would be this would be almost unprecedented. But I was gonna I was gonna try and do a quick I don't remember everybody that was in callbacks. Who's gone through from callbacks? Nene? let me go back to my list. Was Cody: G Gino? AGTCommenter: Gina was not in callbacks. Hundred fingers. So I'll just go on list. Veronica was not. Cody: Olivia. AGTCommenter: B Beefus was. Gina wasn't come come here was not. Yeah, so just those two. So of the eight, two of the eight were were in callbacks. There was 23 in callbacks, and there was 21 straight through, right? Something like that. So, all right. Let's do this. Let's wrap up, Cody, with our our competition. You've got some work to do. You you had a tough week last week. So the what we've been Cody: Okay, that's fine. AGTCommenter: doing, we have been projecting we started last week, so we didn't quarterfinals one. We've been predicting who the golden buzzer is going to be, and then who the three acts that we're gonna go through on the vote. You had to get the golden buzzer correct. So last week you did not you projected Nene to go through, but not on the vote but on the vote. So Cody: Mm-hmm. Right. Yes. AGTCommenter: you don't get any points for that, even though she did go through. Two points if you get the golden buzzer, one point for each of the other three that you get correct. So you only one you got right was Veronica last week. So you had Mackenzie Sol on the Golden Buzzer, didn't go through. Cody: Okay. Mm-hmm. AGTCommenter: You had Nene on the vote, she was the golden buzzer. You had Veronica who was correct, shout out our team, and then you had Butter and Grit, who did not go through. So not only did you go only one point, you also went two for four. I scored a big time four points. I had Nene on the golden buzzer, I was right on it. I had Veronica and come here on the vote and then dang Gino. I had I had Mackenzie Cody: Ha ha. AGTCommenter: Soul. I still feel like my I I'm proud of my process on that one. Gino overperformed more than anybody through two audition two live shows in my opinion. Would you agree? Were you surprised about how much you liked his performance? And I didn't think I was gonna. I I Cody: I did like his performance, yes. Yeah. I thought he was gonna dunno I thought he was gonna dun do another Matt Franco AGTCommenter: Yeah, I thought it was pretty good. I was I was pretty impressed. So and I wouldn't have been able to predict that last week, so I'm I'm fine with the the the four I went. So you're you're down by three, Cody. Lotta points still out there. You just gotta start over this week. Let's do this. You're behind, so you get decide do you want to go first or me? Okay. Do Cody: I'll go first. Yeah. AGTCommenter: you wanna do golden buzzers and then the three or do you just want to name all four? Like, do you want a golden buzzer and then I'll tell my golden buzzer and then how do you want to do it? You want to do any type of alternating? Okay. So who's your golden buzzer, Cody? Cody: No, I wanna do I'm gonna do I wanna do all I wanna do all of mine. Yes. I think Guy Kelton Jones is the golden buzzer. Now AGTCommenter: Okay. Yeah. Cody: I'm hoping that he's gonna be somewhere in the middle. I don't think they're gonna lead off with him, and I don't think they're gonna end with him. So I'm hoping that he's gonna be somewhere in the middle. I'm going with Guy Kelton Jones, the first is what they have listed on the wiki. Yes. AGTCommenter: He is the first. I am gonna butt in. I also have Guy Kelton Jones for my golden buzzer. So I Cody: Okay, well there you go. AGTCommenter: have c I've stopped you from getting points that you can't beat me on the golden buzzer. But anyway, okay, you're three, Cody, on the vote. Cody: Okay. then I wanna go I'm gonna get Air One is gonna go on the vote. I think Lay Noel is gonna go on the vote. AGTCommenter: Hmm. Cody: Yeah. man, I think that Holland and Siena are gonna AGTCommenter: Mm. Cody: go on the vote. AGTCommenter: Alright, locked in. Cody: Walk there. AGTCommenter: Okay. So only one of the three golden buzzers you have going through. you're comfortable with that. Okay. Cody: Yes. AGTCommenter: So I agree that Lay Noel. That's the only one I agree with you on. I have the three golden buzzers. You know what? Cody: Okay. AGTCommenter: I'm playing the math, I'm playing the hits. I can't Cody: Sure. AGTCommenter: imagine more than one's going home. I think I'll get at Cody: Mm. AGTCommenter: least two points. The only concern is one of them might get the golden buzzer. But So I have Acro Crew, Le Noel, and Isaac Atkins. I really wanted to pick Erwan. I stared at it for a while. He should go through. I really hope he does. He might just get the golden buzzer. I think he I had him as my second, like my one I think it's either gonna be Guy Kelton Jones or him getting the golden buzzer. I know we're anti on our team. When you're in an audition or when you're in a quarter final with three golden buzzers, I think I might might just kinda want it for our team because I'm just worried about beating them on the vote at this point. But anyway, so those will be the three. So we both We both have the same golden buzzer, but there's there's two points out there for you to make up some ground, Cody. So Cody: Mm-hmm. Okay. AGTCommenter: to get right back in it. But all right. Anything else as we look at as we as we look at quarterfinals three. Cody: I can't think of anything. AGTCommenter: Let's lock in and final predictions on this. Sophia, the golden buzzer this week. Cody: Yes. AGTCommenter: Keenan will be back next week. Yes or no? Okay. Cody: Quarter final for quarterfinals four, yes. AGTCommenter: And Terry will have the golden buzzer in quarterfinals four. Okay. Cody: Yes. AGTCommenter: I feel comfortable with that prediction. So that means Keenan will have it tonight or this week. Simon will be back. And Simon will have the golden buzzer. Because we predicted the other one, the way that this show operates, it will just be it'll be that instead. Cody: Yes. Yeah. AGTCommenter: okay. Looking ahead, do you want to do a quick look ahead for for the pod? Who's with you on Wednesday night this week? Yes, talking Barbara Padilla. Cody: Sure, whatever you want to do. Yep. Jacob. Jacob will be here. Yes. Yes we will. Also, I think and I wanna ask him this. I think in one of his tweets he mentioned that he got to talk with Dolly. So I definitely wanna ask him about that. Yes. AGTCommenter: Parton? Okay. I would I would ho I you need to. You should ask him about that. Cody: Yes, yes. AGTCommenter: Elsie and Lay Noel are the two female solo singers this week. Who does he compare to Barbara Padilla? Who if you had to bet, if if one of them leads him to mentioning Barbara Padilla, who's more likely? really? I I think that's probably fair, yeah. Cody: It's La it's Lay Noel. Yes. Yeah. I don't think Elsie is that type of singer. AGTCommenter: Okay, we're in the prediction business. Make a prediction Cody: Okay, yeah, let's do it. AGTCommenter: on how he brings it up. Is it like I'll throw this at ya? You know, I like Lay Noel, she's no Barbara Padilla. That would Cody: Ha ha. AGTCommenter: be my bet, is that he calls one of them no that they're not they're not as good as Barbara, but is that what how about you? You got any? Okay. Okay. So you and you and Cody: I think that's I think that's apropos, yes. Yeah. I'll try I'll try not to lead him into it. AGTCommenter: Yeah. Yeah. No Yeah, yeah. Play it straight. So that'll that'll be you two on Wednesday night. People will have that on Thursday morning or whatever. yeah, Cody: Yes. Wiz Yeah, sure. Yep. Yep. AGTCommenter: it'll get posted. And then you and Jay'll be back we should do this quick, but you and Jay will be back for for the recap and then Cody: Yes. AGTCommenter: we got a weird week next week, Cody. Yeah, well it just the show has a weird week, yeah. Cody: Let's not tease that yet. Well let's tea yeah. Well th the show has a weird week and the pod's gonna have a weird week, but we're not gonna say much more than that. Yeah. AGTCommenter: Yeah, we'll talk about it next pre game. let me log this in right now. So you guys did that. So this is episode four thirty seven. All time, Cody. Quarter Did you and Jay I haven't had a chance to listen the whole episode or to the episode. Did you guys talk about his two hundredth episode? Okay. Cody: Well you talked about his two hundred and first, yes. Yes so AGTCommenter: shout out Jay. Two hundred two hundred and one now. Oops, season. Cody: It's great number. It's a great milestone. AGTCommenter: you and Cory were great on on the Wednesday pod. She's she's Cody: Thanks. It's great having Corey on. AGTCommenter: up to seven seven appearances. but yeah. Cody: Nice. We need to get her on more. We need to make sure she gets in the offseason. AGTCommenter: I think that's I think that's fair. Cody, we are already up to nineteen this is the nineteenth pod of the season for us. Last year Cody: Okay. What'd we hit what'd we hit last year? Did we do thirty? AGTCommenter: We did thirty two. You were around for thirty one. You missed Cody: Yeah, my vacation week two of auditions two. Yep. AGTCommenter: No, you were yeah, just two. Yep, yep. Cody: Yep. AGTCommenter: Yep. Yeah, you did sixty six pods last calendar year. so here we are. Cody: Yes. Can we hit thirty two? I don't know. Let's check the math on that. AGTCommenter: Yeah. So this is the next milestones to watch out for because we probably should should keep an eye on it. You're at f you're at four twenty two. This is your four twenty two. I don't know if there's really four fifty four five hundred's the the next milestone. So Cody: No. Yes. Yes it is, yeah. AGTCommenter: we've got it won't be till season twenty two sometime, probably. Yeah. Cody: It'll be a it it'll be a minute, yeah. Yeah. AGTCommenter: Or excuse me, season twenty three sometime. Jay just hit two hundred. so we're good there. I'm out this is Cody: Two fifties two fifty's a good number. AGTCommenter: Yep, I'm one hundred seventy eight. This is one hundred seventy Cody: Okay. AGTCommenter: eight. So we're right on two hundred here. This off season you and I all I'll hit two hundred. Ryan's at thirty si Cody: We gotta figure out w we gotta figure out where that's gonna be. AGTCommenter: Yeah. And we'll be wrong. And then we'll miss it. And we'll have to come back and say, welcome to two one. It would only be fitting. I think it would be fair if I didn't celebrate until two one to to Cody: Yeah. AGTCommenter: reconcile that. Ryan is at thirty-six. So he'll have fifty probably sometime in the next twelve months, I would imagine. Yeah. Cody: Yes. decade? AGTCommenter: And then other than that, I mean Steven did twenty. We talked about that. Scott's at twelve. so Cody: Yeah. Okay. AGTCommenter: 200, my 200th is probably the next closest. And then maybe Ryan's 50th. Ryan is got Cody Mims in his sights. So Cody Mims has done 51 pods. Cody: Okay. AGTCommenter: So that's kind of the as much as fifty, fifty-two is kind of his milestone to move into to fourth all time. Cody: Okay. Okay. AGTCommenter: Yeah, and then there'll be a day. I'll pass, I'll pass old Jay. I think it's important to note. Total appearances is not indicative of of podcasting ability. As as we see with our our leader. Cody has Cody: No. I it Yes, yes. And I own it. I'm fine with that. AGTCommenter: over two times as many appearances as anybody. let's do this. Cody: And half the quality. AGTCommenter: So you have four twenty two. The rest of us combined that have at least multiple appearances have five twenty eight. So you have an unbelievable amount of of appearances compared to everybody. So, Cody: I have to do a whole lot by myself to pass that, right? I'd have to do a hundred I'd have to do a hundred pods by myself. Yeah. AGTCommenter: Correct, 'cause you're never alone. Right. But the fact that it's only a hundred with what is it? It was sixteen other names combined. Cody: Well and how many were before me? Like how many were there before me? Yes. AGTCommenter: Right, if you get rid of Cody Mims is first twenty. No, you showed up six you've missed fifteen total, but I think you missed like the first five or something. Yeah. Remember d never forget GJ AGT officiinato, GJ Corbin. Cody: Okay. it was only five or six. Okay, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. AGTCommenter: all right, let's we got our predictions, they're locked in, we're ready to go. Let's Tuesday night, I'm ready to watch. Cody: Okay. so you can reach out to us.
