Hey everybody, its Justin, let's try this again.
0:09
I had put one in and apparently my mic settings were off.
0:13
There was audio issues that weren't unable to be resolved on
0:19
this episode. We lose Alyssa probably for the
0:22
last about 12 minutes so I do apologize for that.
0:28
I believe I have fixed the audio issues, so this should be should
0:33
be a one-off. We'll see how the robot.
0:35
Does with the two that we've recorded since but um, apologize
0:40
for the the issues and hope you enjoy the episode.
1:20
It's deprogram. The podcast where we try to get
1:22
you into a band today. We are today, it's an artist,
1:26
not a bad, how about that? Just maybe should get it right.
1:29
But up, bop bop bop, I'm loving it, Mac, Mac Miller, sometimes
1:35
you push record and you don't know what's actually going to
1:38
come out of your mouth. This is one of those instances.
1:40
I had no idea what I was going to say.
1:42
I didn't think about it at all. I just hit record and here we
1:45
are. So actually technically speaking
1:47
I think you put this on On the board.
1:50
Brian. So talk to me about Mac Miller
1:53
and why you needed to be here to talk about Mac Miller.
1:57
So the reason I picked Mike Miller and it's kind of like a
2:01
public service announcement for everyone here.
2:03
So, um, in 2020, I this isn't that like covid related because
2:09
I was losing all day anyway while I work, but I noticed that
2:15
like I call myself a music in here and I love music but I was
2:21
only listen to the same thing. Like my Spotify was all just
2:25
like Pearl Jam, their violent Guns, and Roses tool and that
2:29
was basically yet and I'm like you know, I need to, you know,
2:35
explore me. Yeah you know how hey I've seen
2:40
too many of my generation of you know so I'm like a younger
2:44
generation x ER but there's too many of us that are just Oh, and
2:50
he music past 1998 is terrible. So I decided that I need to
2:55
start, you know open myself up and listen to other stuff and so
2:59
in 2020 I started listening to three new albums that came home.
3:05
Like anything new that comes out as can listen to it and one of
3:08
them was Circles by Mac Miller and I knew what the song, Good
3:15
News have been playing on the radio and I'll tell you When I,
3:21
when I decided to listen to it I didn't even know he was a
3:24
rapper. I had no idea because good news
3:26
is that is like not irrational. So like I had no idea that he
3:31
was a rapper, listen to the album and then you know I was I
3:36
was telling my daughter I was getting into it and she was
3:40
like, oh my God I can Miller's awesome.
3:42
Like so then I started like deep diving more into him, you know.
3:49
And so So as a deep go of, you know, being growing up in the
3:55
90s, I mean, instantly when I listen to a blue slide park
4:03
which is very upbeat Rock, lots of rock beats to it and I'm like
4:08
that was like my total jam and then I started getting deeper
4:13
into the catalog and there was like, providing be stuff like
4:16
the super vibey stuff. I was like, yeah.
4:18
I just drew on Me, grew on me and now the two years later he's
4:24
like my number three most listened-to artist at Spotify
4:29
and it's yeah like these artists I never listened to until 2020
4:36
like the Killer Just I'll just so closed off.
4:50
So I think, you know, just it's really like awesome.
4:56
Like we're doing here because I think you're exposing yourself
4:59
to stuff that you never listen to either.
5:01
I like every week. But yeah, I mean, you know, it's
5:06
just to get it out there then, you know, just because it came
5:10
out in 2017, doesn't mean it's not good.
5:13
Like there's just, there's so much good stuff out there and
5:16
like, mac is definitely one people.
5:18
One of the artists that I like only latched onto and it's just,
5:27
it opened up a whole nother world, you know, I haven't
5:30
listened to hip-hop since the early 90s and then and absence
5:34
of Psalm like Eminem and the early 2000s, but that's about
5:37
it. So yeah, it's mostly just
5:42
getting it out there, feel. So the other people in their
5:45
mid-forties out there or mid 50s.
5:48
Or even like the older like Millennials is, you know, they
5:51
because they get older and they say, oh, there's no good music
5:54
past 2002. Thank, you know, just get it out
5:58
to get out there and just, you know, your parents weren't happy
6:02
when you were, you know, blasting, like your father and
6:06
your room in 1992, you know. Yeah.
6:10
I just didn't want to be there. So and this is just, this is So
6:20
I mean, it's funny, you bring that up because the
6:22
aforementioned this is a deprogram first, we've never had
6:25
a parent in their child on a panel Alyssa.
6:29
Why is Mac Miller your entry point here?
6:31
Like what what made you go? Okay, this is the one that I'm
6:35
going to jump in here. I want to talk about Mac Miller
6:37
so the real reason really is that I'm my dad went, I'm going
6:42
to do Mac Miller on this podcast, get in so that we can
6:45
do it and very fine. I'd also like to add in case
6:51
anybody doesn't know Mac Miller has passed away.
6:55
He was murdered. He died of an accidental
7:03
fentanyl overdose and as as funny as it is and sad, well,
7:10
it's not funny as sad as it is a fun story to come out of that is
7:15
when my dad started listening to The circles album he had.
7:20
No idea, no idea. We were sitting in a breakfast
7:26
place in our town, and he were going over.
7:30
What? Kinds of vinyls he wants to buy
7:32
with this new record player that he had just gotten we're talking
7:35
about the circles album and he's like, yeah I can't wait for Mac
7:39
Miller's next album. I have no idea what its gonna be
7:43
and I had to be the bearer of bad news and tell Him that one
7:49
of his favorite artists had actually been dead when that
7:54
true years for two years. Yeah, so that was not fun.
8:03
He actually almost cried in the breakfast place.
8:07
I was I was physically sure. So we just came over and asked
8:10
if I was. Okay.
8:12
Okay. He just found out Mac Miller
8:14
time. Real thing that happened.
8:23
I got into Mac Miller after he passed away because I saw a
8:30
video of him and Ariana Grande performing.
8:35
One of their songs on, on his the divine feminine album My
8:43
favorite part is the song and I just loved the energy that he
8:47
brought into a room. I love to the energy that the
8:51
two of them had and I just decided to get into it and the
8:58
divine feminine became one of my favorite albums Mac Miller's.
9:01
Been my number-one artist on Spotify for a belief.
9:05
Two years in a row. Wow.
9:07
So he's definitely he's a daily Listen to For Me.
9:12
And I think he just kind of has. He has a Vibe for everything.
9:17
Sad. Happy for a trap.
9:21
Yeah, pretty much everywhere. I go.
9:24
I feel like he's just kind of like a friend in your corner,
9:28
you know what I mean. That's a great way to put it
9:32
because like I didn't know anything about Mac really coming
9:35
into this other than I remember you know, I couldn't pinpoint a
9:40
year, but I remember Twitter kind of Voting about him and I
9:45
you know just everybody is kind of talking about I'm like who is
9:48
this dude and like I think I might have been like knee-deep
9:51
in the radio station or something.
9:52
So I didn't have time to explore new artists and I feel like
10:00
maybe a year or two after that. I remember Twitter explodes
10:03
again because he passed and I was like, who is this dude.
10:08
And so like, I didn't know really what to expect at all.
10:12
But I feel like you just nailed what my experience was going
10:18
through this discography was you know, there's a Vibe for
10:22
everything specifically that first record I had a real hard
10:25
time and you know we'll get into the specifics of songs and such
10:28
but like a real hard time pinning down like what this dude
10:33
is in like how do I present him going forward?
10:39
So I guess that question and, you know, we did, we did have to
10:42
leave out a lot. We basically kind of just went
10:44
with the studio albums, when you go about picking your 24, this
10:50
list Brian. Like, how did did you have kind
10:52
of like that song Problem, trying to figure it out for some
10:55
cases? Yes, so as I said before, this
10:58
slide is my favorite. He's catching up to it.
11:00
But this is my favorite, because I feel like he hit me in all
11:07
like the 90s. I just hit me like right where I
11:12
live. So, originally, I had like, 14
11:15
Spots. I'm like, why can't have 14
11:19
songs are Baka be with, when there's so much more to this
11:25
guy. So I think I my original like
11:27
passing, I have over 40 songs and then it was real II.
11:36
Got it sounds like the 30s. And then I'm like, well, how do
11:40
I, you know, you look funky up a good amount of the of the faster
11:47
beat songs, but he also has so many that like it's tough to
11:52
like look, I'm sure you have this all the fine like when I
11:57
first listened to fix the swimming album like a year ago,
12:02
I was like and I listen to my music while I'm driving.
12:04
So like I have a real tough time getting into it because it was
12:07
just so vibey. And I'm like, it's like too
12:11
slow, but like it's got a hitch with the right at the right time
12:14
in the right place. So, I was trying to find the
12:17
songs that wouldn't feel the hit like you could put these songs
12:22
on. You haven't been mix, you'll
12:25
catch a Vibe. Vixen can survive like because
12:27
like I got that from my daughter.
12:29
She's whole time. Goodbye you know it was it was
12:34
it was it was tough but I think I have a good one.
12:36
We hear that hiss It's on everything that Mac Miller is
12:42
it, it took its own couple of weeks.
12:48
Yeah. So this being your first time
12:51
here Alyssa like I mean you knew the discography going in.
12:55
But did you approach the discography little different
12:59
knowing that you can only have 20 songs to bring here?
13:02
Yeah, I did. As soon as I heard that we were,
13:06
you know, we were in the clear. We were in the get-go.
13:10
I went through and I went through every Spotify considered
13:17
album. I had a maca delic and faces on
13:21
there as well. And I just took one or two songs
13:25
that I really, really felt represented each album and threw
13:31
them on a piece of paper and called it a night.
13:35
And then when we had chosen, when we had decided to go with
13:39
just the Wikipedia Studio albums, it caught me a little
13:46
bit. Just because I obviously that's
13:50
like that's way too big of a lineup to go through and just
13:54
about an hour or so. But it I just kept those songs
14:01
off of the, the studio albums. We went with and I really
14:07
carefully considered the next, my next move and really listened
14:13
through. I had trouble with watching
14:16
movies with the sound off and Damn those two, those two
14:20
albums. I hadn't really listen to all
14:22
the way through, really, really deeply up until I needed like a
14:29
couple more songs and I didn't think I was giving them enough
14:33
credit, if I hadn't, if I didn't really listen to them.
14:37
And I think that honestly, they're becoming to my favorite
14:42
Mac albums right now. Just because of everything about
14:46
him, I just think is Shane, so I I really was drawn to watching
14:54
movies on my first pass and so this is a guy.
14:59
You used the words carefully considered and there was a lot
15:04
of careful consideration on my part here because I had to do a
15:08
lot of separation of what is what I'm liking, what is what's
15:15
hitting, Nostalgia? What Is what is this guy?
15:23
I had a lot of, so I'll save this watching movies was
15:30
difficult because it is. It's a clear step different from
15:34
everything else. So like, as I'm carefully
15:39
considering it, I'm like, okay, I love this.
15:41
This this screams to me because it's kind of weird, but where
15:46
does that sit in his? His entire discography, you need
15:50
that full picture to kind of do this correctly.
15:55
You brought up the divine feminine Alyssa.
15:58
I you know pressed. You know if somebody pressed me
16:03
to say, what's your favorite Mac record?
16:05
You know, I don't have a ton of experience with all these but
16:08
that was the one that I found the most difficult to cut from
16:12
as I'm going through it. I'm like, I could see this
16:14
fitting, I could see this fitting, I could make a case for
16:16
this. I can make a case for this.
16:18
You know, that's where I found the hardest cuts.
16:21
The last three really divine feminine swimming and circles.
16:26
I just the, when he talked about vibing, I caught an entire Vibe,
16:32
the like listen to those three records.
16:34
I just kind of sat there and took all three of them in and
16:37
I'm like, well this is difficult and that's the best way to put
16:42
it because this can go so many different ways.
16:49
I think we have an agreeable artist but I have a feeling that
16:54
we're going to see a lot of the discography today.
16:56
That's how I'll put it. So that moves us to the next
17:00
question. Brian based on everything that's
17:02
just been kind of said, how many you think for the final say that
17:05
we're going to get through unanimous?
17:08
okay, so okay so I did finally gave a little bit and listen to
17:13
your other shows where you talk about rap artists, just eating
17:16
very aware can because Alyssa although I don't know what she
17:20
what she picked, I do know her jammies he's more into lyrics,
17:26
she's picking some there some more bigoted music so I'm trying
17:29
to figure out like well adjusted Expect to hear what I heard you.
17:40
So, yeah, cuz movies was tough for me because that was so weird
17:48
but I should have figured you'd be into that weird stuff.
17:51
Yeah, so I'm gonna boy. Where am I gonna find you guys?
18:00
I'm still goes for for. All right, I'm gonna go look for
18:04
it, should be 20, because I think it's one of the best
18:06
songs. But I will go up, I'm gonna go
18:11
before. So I proposed this or I talked
18:15
to you about this before we recorded a listen.
18:17
You said I already know. My number has that number
18:20
changed since having this. This part of the discussion or
18:23
are you sticking with your guns? Well, I had for you, ain't ya.
18:30
So I'm honestly with what you said?
18:35
I'm gonna go with 50. All right.
18:39
I I feel like watching movies is tough, but I for my dad and I do
18:48
know his gym, but I also did my own digging and I know I did
18:56
hear a little bit of what you do.
18:58
Like, what you don't like your affinity for first track on an
19:05
album and wow, she gave you today.
19:12
So yeah, I'm gonna go with five because as much of the
19:16
discography as we're gonna go through.
19:20
I think there are some clear winners on each one.
19:25
It does, it does feel like for does feel like the right number
19:29
to, you know, kind of patch you both on the back.
19:32
I for feels like the right number 5.
19:34
Feels like maybe we hit those four and then When one of us
19:38
says, one that feels like it's probably not, but we get it.
19:44
So now the question becomes do I want up y'all with positivity or
19:49
do I do I take us down into the negativity pits.
19:54
I mean, at five feels doable. Six seems like it might be Out
19:59
Of Reach because There's a lot of ground to cover.
20:04
Three feels too low though. Shoot.
20:09
I'm you know, I always like you know, I'm going to I'm going to
20:11
go double dose of positive. Yeah, I'm going seven, double
20:15
dose of positive. Yeah, I mean look chances are.
20:20
It's six and three are probably wrong.
20:22
It's either, it's likely to be either four or five.
20:25
So, you know, might as well might as well really get into
20:28
the positivity there. So we're going to take a quick
20:31
pause. Cause and I'm not going to
20:32
actually push any buttons, this time.
20:34
This is going to be weird, y'all.
20:37
It's not going to be any different for y'all, but it's
20:39
going to be different for me. And we'll be right back to play
20:42
the game. It's the programmers.

21:19

21:25
game is deprogrammed, the three of us have combed through the
21:30
sort of Studio discography, that's what we'll call it.
21:33
The studio discography of Mac Miller and plucked out 20 songs.
21:36
They were now going to mash together in attempt to create a
21:38
top 10 starter kit for you, in case you have never given Mac
21:42
Miller the time of day. And I, you know, I'm going to
21:47
start here because I don't have a clear path, I don't have a
21:51
gameplay. A game plan here.
21:54
So this is a song that's already come up.
21:57
It was high on my list, like four priorities to get this in
22:02
and hearing it. Kind of like, when I asked the
22:05
question, I this was one of the songs that came back to me, or
22:08
when I asked listeners. Hey, what's essential Mac
22:11
Miller? This song came back to me.
22:13
It's already been brought up. So I'm going here, my favorite
22:16
part It, don't have it. Oh, you said that.
22:26
Here's the thing, here's the thing.
22:27
Highlight, some of my favourite songs are not on this list
22:32
because I think fully represents Mac Miller's, honestly,
22:37
different from my rational opinion.
22:40
No, I like the gym. I appreciate you doing the hard
22:42
work. I mean, wow, that is really hard
22:46
to do two separate that. And when you really into an
22:49
artist but all right, I mean, look, we got to and I feel like
22:54
it too. Who is going to be really good
22:57
on this list. So, yeah.
22:59
All right, Brian. All right.
23:01
Well, now I have no idea where to find Alyssa.
23:09
I'm still gonna go. With, I think lyrics and I'm
23:15
going to go with hurt feelings. No, well, I got it.
23:22
I got. All right, all right.
23:25
Kid? I don't know what you're doing.
23:28
It was a, it was a tough cut. I'm going to be honest with you.
23:33
Yeah, it really it really hurt to cut it.
23:38
Yeah, it's got a little bit of everything to it.
23:41
It's like, it's on, you know, as I pointed out and I will
23:47
reiterate this point. This is, I think those last
23:50
three records are going to be hard to find the common ground
23:54
because those three really stood out to me.
23:58
So yeah. All right, Alyssa.
24:01
All right, well, I'm gonna jump us all the way back to Blue
24:08
slide park and I'm going to say Party on Fifth Ave.
24:12
Yes. Yeah.
24:15
Wait, what did you say? No.
24:18
I know I know because I cuz I know I limited myself to a
24:24
certain amount of of blue side songs because I picked 14
24:30
originally So I just had to you. Oh my god, hi shoe, and it makes
24:38
the Let Me Clear My Throat. Sample.
24:41
Are you kidding me? That's what I was going to say
24:43
that is precisely what I was going to say.
24:45
So I have a I have a tide of that two ways number one, just
24:49
because the Let Me Clear My Throat, sample just the the
24:52
song. But in high school, we actually
24:54
played that in marching band. So like I got I got a double
24:58
whammy of inside, not insomnia of, I just got a double whammy
25:03
With this. So the song starts playing and
25:05
playing and then I got. So I got taken back to the right
25:08
listening to the radio this coming on the radio and then I
25:11
got taken back to high school marching band.
25:13
So that was that was there was no way this was not going on my
25:16
list. So man, all right well about 200
25:21
hit me in the 90s. Nostalgia that, that's what I
25:23
said about blue slide park and it takes it has the biggest 90s
25:28
rap and from I mean, I was I'm going to point that out.
25:33
But yeah, awareness is key friend.
25:37
All right. Um, all right, we'll shoot.
25:44
Shoot this. I don't, this makes it a lot
25:48
harder. I feel like we don't, I don't
25:49
know where you guys are. All right, I'll go with
25:54
something weird. How about objects in the mirror?
25:56
Have it? Yes.
25:58
Hey I got one of all the ones. I mean it's clearly it stands
26:09
out but like, yes, yes, it stands out because it really
26:18
truly sounds like his first confrontation with his own
26:22
addiction. First, light background Maca,
26:27
delic the EP is where he really starts getting experimental
26:30
because it's where he starts taking hard hard drugs.
26:34
There's a whole song about It in the album, it's his first time
26:38
taking his quote, unquote vitamins and just tripping
26:42
absolute balls. And it's the first time in the
26:47
whole album to me where he fully, like kind of realizes.
26:51
This isn't just fun and games. This is where I know that I'm
26:57
stuck now. I like just one taste and you
27:00
know, she got you that's that's a line from the song and it's
27:05
got them. yeah, he's Yeah, go through the worst to reach the
27:12
Ecstasy when your imaginations on pretend, I never thought it
27:16
would feel this way. You never taught me how to heal
27:19
the pain. Like that's the line that's
27:20
playing right now. And yeah, this was one where
27:24
like the beat brought me in. But like what I like about this
27:30
song In This Record in particular is because of the
27:33
weirdness. Sure I'll get brought in but I'm
27:37
not paying attention as much to the beat.
27:39
I'm paying more attention to him, and, and then going
27:43
backward to the beat. So it's like, I could listen to
27:47
what he was saying and I met, I didn't nail it the way you broke
27:51
it down Alyssa, but I guarantee you, that is what that is, what
27:56
looped me in is anytime somebody's kind of like
28:00
confronting their addiction like it strikes, a chord with me and
28:04
so like Like I'm guessing that was the cord that struck with me
28:07
and then here it is. We got it.
28:12
Yeah. And the song.
28:57
Yeah, yeah. I'm like I said, my first heard
29:00
that song like, again, it doesn't it sounds like
29:05
singer-songwriter song sound like a raptor.
29:08
So it's, you know, all right. All right.
29:14
Let me find that on this list. All right, listen.
29:19
Well then I guess it's there's only two albums we haven't hit
29:22
yet so let me give good. Am some love and go when in Rome
29:30
Yes. Okay, I can't save so I don't
29:34
have it. But it's got to all right.
29:36
I don't remember where that dropped out.
29:38
I know for a fact that made my first cut.
29:42
Yeah, I think it was a late like 25. 26 type cout.
29:48
I don't ya, I had to work. My bottom is the, the course was
29:53
a little Annoying. I like the whole rest of the
29:58
song. It did it did I mean that might
30:09
that might get it in at this point.
30:11
This isn't still plenty of gameplay.
30:13
So um, all right, where do I go? None of these feel safe.
30:24
Okay. How about self-care?
30:28
I don't have it. No, you know I know I know that
30:38
one to me is scary if you don't know that is one of the biggest
30:46
single off of that album and it's probably why you saw it
30:49
blow up on Twitter for the one for the first time.
30:52
You heard about Mac Miller, it came out right after his breakup
30:57
with Ariana, A grande and everyone can thought it was
31:01
about her and his drug addiction and why they split.
31:06
But the scary thing about it is the music video is him getting
31:11
buried. Hmm.
31:12
And just not caring about the fact that he's he's considered
31:18
dead and just lighting matches just a light them and use up his
31:23
oxygen. Wow.
31:26
Yeah, I get. All right.
31:30
Yeah. But it's just one of those
31:34
things where it was the last album.
31:36
He released. Yeah.
31:38
That's that's what makes it kind of terrifying.
31:41
Yeah. Well, that would have been.
31:44
Maybe I should have went out and looked, I get this.
31:47
A lot of people people go. I have you seen the video?
31:50
And most of the time it's used as the, this is the reason why.
31:53
Cuz cuz The video rules. Yeah this is the first time I
31:58
think. I've heard anybody say yeah
32:00
that's kind of it's actually kind of scary so yeah.
32:04
All right Brian. Yeah, so okay, alright so yeah
32:08
it's poof all right. Okay, I'm going to alright.
32:14
Okay, so I'm going to bring us back up with which is what
32:17
currently is like my go-to song. Specially it's a good mood songs
32:23
will bring it back up. It's got a funk beat that.
32:26
I just can't quit. It's playing in my mind right
32:30
now. So I hope you guys have it.
32:32
It is what's the use? Yes, yes, no.
32:40
I don't have that one. I thought I did but apparently,
32:44
I don't But it's got yeah that that beat.
32:48
It's just so good. All right, Alyssa.
32:55
All right. Let me go back, let me hit
33:01
circles real quick. Let me go Blue World.
33:08
Okay, no. But that one was that one was
33:14
like, 21, 22. That's, that's like one of those
33:18
ones where like you're painfully going through and something's
33:23
got to go and I was like, well, I guess this one We're going to
33:28
have a lot of discussion with these twos.
33:30
Yeah. You know what I mean to that
33:32
point we were almost out of ntp would just choose so great.
33:39
There we go. All right.
33:44
I don't know where y'all are. Um I'll go with another one that
33:48
came up. When I ask the question, you
33:51
know what is essential Mac? Dang.
33:57
Yes. You know what?
33:58
I only added it literally 20 minutes ago, right?
34:03
Or more than 20 minutes ago right before we started.
34:07
Oh God. So you have it.
34:09
I do have it. Yep.
34:22
Yeah, yeah. So again, I got a point out like
34:30
this is normally I don't want to say a No-No for me, but like a
34:34
song with a feature typically is not going to get through for me,
34:41
like especially on on a tight discography like this, where
34:44
you're looking for whatever reason to make a cut, but this
34:49
beat is so smooth. Yeah, yeah, I just found myself.
34:54
We talked about just Just catching the vibe.
34:56
And like, this is, this is the second track on the record.
34:59
And I'm just like, yeah. And I feel like from this point
35:03
on was, where I was just locked into, like, those last three
35:06
records just from, dang. All the way through.
35:09
I was just like in, so there was no denying this one for me.
35:15
My favorite part is the combination of his.
35:18
His frat rap lyrics with such a smooth album.
35:22
I mean, where else are you going to hear?
35:24
So suavely, pardon my French. I just eat pussy.
35:28
Other people need food. Yeah, and he says it, he says,
35:35
it's the, he says, it's so smooth that you don't even hear
35:37
it. I definitely, you know, if I was
35:41
drinking something, it would have been a spit take but like
35:44
like, at the same time, you're like, No, that's not what he
35:48
said. Let's move on again.
35:51
Yeah. All right.
35:54
There we go. To look at that.
35:55
All right, bro. Okay.
36:04
Yes. Okay.
36:11
It's me, right? All right, I'm gonna stick.
36:16
Okay, I gotta go upbeat song and I'm picking this one and
36:21
hopefully you will find you mostly because all, this is a
36:24
college student and she parties. So, we're going with up, all
36:29
night. Nope.
36:33
No, I don't have it either. I was listening to that one
36:38
right before y'all came on, and I considered throwing it in last
36:43
second. But we have up all night.
36:56
I'm just a grandfather honestly, and I go to bed at 9:30 every
37:02
night. Um, she does get up at 8:00 a.m.
37:06
every morning. I like to have my coffee and you
37:10
know, what he does? Every other grandfather I in the
37:15
good am I'm looking for a hundred grand kids.
37:22
Look at you, I mean, look at you first of all, yes, I have it as
37:27
well. I don't have it.
37:30
That was smooth Alyssa, to be able to, to be able to play your
37:35
song right off the back. That's I, I appreciate that.
37:40
I hold as a great segue. Yeah.
37:43
Without having to wait for the. We got to there's though.
37:46
So yeah. Got you.
37:49
As a matter of fact, I'm going to I think all we are just one
37:53
wet one away from ntp being out. So, all right, 100 grand kids
37:58
has to and we're back around to me.
38:02
Huh. Boy.
38:06
See, I can't be as confident as Alyssa just was.
38:10
Yeah. Um, how about?
38:17
You know, I'm like, I'm going to take a big swing here, if you
38:19
guys don't have it, I understand because it's, I don't want to
38:22
say it's on left field, but this, this is the point.
38:25
Brian, you were talking about earlier, where, like, if you
38:27
listen to this, you don't know this, dude's a wrapper, which to
38:30
me is a testament to the, to the musicianship, it's the Testament
38:34
to the artist. So I had to have something like
38:37
this here, and this is the one, I probably have a couple others,
38:42
but this is the one that's like I'm hearing in my head right
38:45
now. That's on me.
38:49
No, that's that's just me here. I got a little bit of it because
39:06
I couldn't get away from it. It's kind of pretty.
39:13
Yes, yes. Um and you know, not this song
39:19
specifically, but like the funny part is like, those last three
39:23
records. I know, I know.
39:24
Keep going on and on and on about those last three records,
39:27
but I got I got a Vibe of like where Harry Styles is right now,
39:34
with, with his most recent record like the same kind of
39:40
Vibes that I get from circles and from from swimming, like, I
39:45
know artist, the artist trees different like, Mac Mac and
39:49
Harry are definitely, you know, way different.
39:52
But like, musically, like, they're not that far apart.
39:55
And I, I've become a huge Harry Styles fan.
40:01
Of late. So like to be able to tie that
40:04
in and feel that going into these last couple records of
40:10
Mac. It just it it was a good thing
40:14
but that's the best way I can put it.
40:15
So yeah, yeah. All right, Brian.
40:21
Okay. Okay.
40:24
All right, so I don't know how to pronounce this.
40:26
I don't know if this is three letters or one word, but I'm
40:30
going with heroes or Roz, rain or shine real.
40:39
I don't either. It's got everything.
40:42
It opens with that piano. And then it has a rap and it's
40:46
got everything. Wow, that's one of my starred
40:51
ones. Yesterday driving around.
40:56
I was giving good am a real. Listen that Is great.
41:04
It's a great. Alright yeah.
41:09
Alright let me Let me go with something really, really weird
41:15
here and I'm not going to be surprised if it didn't make
41:20
anybody's list, but I've got avian on the watching movies
41:25
with the sound off. That that song, I don't know
41:35
what it is about it, but it just really really sticks with me.
41:41
Hmm. That was just a casualty of me
41:45
thinking I was I was going to much with his weird stuff when I
41:50
say, I'm not sure where some of the other ones went.
41:54
I know for a fact, avian was 21 and I know for a fact that it
41:58
only got cut I was like, there's no way, no one else has this.
42:02
It's not like his other stuff. I think I can find Common Ground
42:06
later on this record. I was listening.
42:10
Again, this one I struggled not finding room for like I, as I
42:17
was listening to the playlist. I'm like, there's got to be room
42:20
for this and then like I'm listening to it.
42:22
I'm like, I love it, I love it, I love it, but nobody else is
42:25
gonna have it Alyssa here to prove me wrong.
42:28
So, And your back. You just drop me.
42:31
Sorry. Yeah.
42:33
Sorry it was. Is that or aquarium going on for
42:37
me? So I don't know.
42:40
Um, okay, let's see. Let me go back to Blue slide
42:47
park and see if we can't find something here.
42:51
How about PA nights? Yes.
42:56
No, there's two there's so many songs, but honestly, there's so
43:02
many songs with a, with a rock beat that on that album, that
43:06
you can just throw a dart. Like, that's what I had to do.
43:09
I have just throw a dart at the ones that had to throw a dart
43:17
beat songs. All right, well the dart didn't
43:21
hit that one but if you want to throw another Dart, it's From
43:25
brain. I'm going to, I'm going to throw
43:28
another dart at another blue slide sing along, and hoping it
43:33
wasn't picked this because she knows.
43:35
Again, this is like, this is this is a rock song.
43:39
This is a nut 90s rap rock. This is this is like a biscuit.
43:47
But with a smile back, no I can't save you.
43:54
Cannot. Wow.
43:56
All my thoughts, all my songs with the with little star next
43:59
to it and getting yeah, no. I I'm going to finish off my
44:10
blue slide park pics with. The song that I thought was a
44:16
little more important than smile back, it's a missed calls.
44:24
I thought that vulnerability was important on that album.
44:27
You're so right, I somehow completely whiffed on that one
44:31
first. Go around and I was again, jeez.
44:36
Again, this this kind of explains that the expanse of the
44:39
discography here is I don't think I don't even think missed
44:44
calls made my first pass. And so like, as I'm listening to
44:48
all of blue slide before you guys came in, you know, I'm
44:51
listening. Everything and I'm like, okay
44:52
yeah I feel good about not having this one.
44:54
I feel okay about not having this one and missed calls comes
44:57
up and I'm like, did I just with like and then, you know, I'm
45:02
thinking, well, do I make room? I was like, well Brian said this
45:06
was his favorite, so maybe he's got it.
45:08
I have no idea where a list. I wholeheartedly agree with your
45:13
assessment of the vulnerability. I think we whiffed here and I
45:18
think, I think that, you know, Who am I to say, you know, who
45:24
does what, with their final say? But I think this might be my
45:28
final say, if I get it, yeah, especially Gap.
45:31
Because, you know, when you go through blue, slide park and
45:35
when half the time, you wouldn't know, but when you compare blue,
45:38
slide park the album, his later stuff, it's way less mature, but
45:44
then you see, a few glimpses of the future Mac Miller and it's
45:51
it, it's in that song. Yes.
45:54
Absolutely eyes. Blue slide to the rest of his
45:58
discography, because you're kind of like, You know, you go from
46:02
this like immature, you know, up all night rock rap guy to just
46:10
vibing about his feelings and it's yeah, that was a swing and
46:14
a miss, I think, I think we were up there.
46:17
So so that was a list of. So we're back around to me.
46:22
Let me see what I got left here. 12 least, we got a couple
46:25
rounds. I think left.
46:26
I have a lot. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
46:31
All right, so this was the only other answer I got when I asked,
46:36
you know what songs are essential?
46:37
This is. So I'm I'm leaning here and
46:40
seeing if the listeners pointed me, right?
46:42
How about small worlds? I don't have it in, that's no
46:48
favorite songs and it really, really is a good song.
46:57
It's another one of those ones where if I didn't wholeheartedly
47:03
believe that there was a better, not a better.
47:06
But a more important song to be put on from swimming, that would
47:10
have been on the list automatically.
47:15
So, I'll tell you guys what kept me here.
47:21
I need to go back to I'm going to turn it up a little bit
47:23
because you got this intro. Made me think of Bennie and the
47:29
Jets immediately. And yeah.
47:33
And I was like huh I was like okay, so like if I can get tied
47:38
to some something else, it's already going to Sit somewhere
47:44
in my head because I have a tie to it.
47:49
This is one of those songs that I kept because it makes me think
47:55
of like the Harry Styles type stuff.
47:57
So all right, let's get it gets one, it goes into the trash.
48:02
That's all right, it happens. All right, Brian.
48:06
So I'm going to try, I can't remember who had what's the use
48:11
of along with me, but I'm going to try to find that person with
48:17
funk once again because I'm a big Funk fan and When the Beat
48:23
Drops in ladders it's I mean did this had double star dump?
48:30
There's two stars next to ladders on my list so I hope
48:33
someone has it. You missed me too?
48:36
Same. Oh my god.
48:40
With that. Becomes out of okay, I can't
48:43
even You know what? I, I really had some bigger
48:49
things at play with swimming, and I think that If unless you
48:57
have something else you wanted to say about it, I want to show,
49:01
you know, I thinks it's just it's just yeah, it's just yeah
49:05
it's just you know, I was trying to get he has a couple songs
49:09
with that funk in them. So I wanted I mean, what's the
49:12
use has to but like I wanted to get when we got greedy, try to
49:16
get to Funk songs in there. I think, I think just to kind of
49:22
back illicit here, I think without without Necessarily
49:27
doing it on purpose. I think that is what was
49:30
separating those? The swimming and circled songs
49:33
for me, is realizing. Yes, I love this.
49:38
But is there something to use Alyssa was words more important?
49:44
You know, something where the words?
49:48
I and I think maybe that is the differential between those last
49:51
three records is I think I leaned more on is this, is this
49:57
Is he saying something here versus because I could easily
50:00
get lost in the wash of the music, the music of the last
50:05
last three. Again I'm not trying to watch
50:08
balls here. Those last three I just I got
50:11
lost in so right? All right, Alyssa. so one of
50:17
those bigger things that play, you know what, I honestly feel
50:21
like we can't we can't even we can't not have this on at least
50:28
out there if not on the list It's the final song Mac Miller
50:35
released as a living breathing human being and that's so it
50:41
goes. Yeah.
50:44
Oh yeah. I got it II.
50:47
Didn't know it was, it was his last.
50:49
It was his last song he wrote as a as a live.
50:52
Well, I don't mean hey I found out he died, it's fucking
50:55
laughter. But yeah, I Fleming album it may
51:00
not have been the last one ever written.
51:02
But you know when right, right when you're hearing Mac Miller
51:06
alive and well you're hearing well not well you're hearing
51:10
about the detriment. His drug abuse is Causing on his
51:15
relationship, he's got a DUI, he crashed his car, and then you're
51:21
listening to that album all the way through and you here.
51:25
So it goes and then that's it. You know, you find out a year
51:30
less than a year later. I don't remember when you asked
51:34
he's gone forever and you know that album was up for a Grammy
51:40
and they flew his parents out just to take that Grammy away
51:44
from him. Him and you know so it goes so
51:47
goes it just it had to be. So this is this is off topic
51:52
Alyssa, but you need to listen to diversifies.
51:57
You want to evolve into an outright about drugs.
52:02
Yeah, and chains will put you into a whole nother way of
52:09
living. Absolutely.
52:11
All right, so so it was has two or so it goes rather. it has to,
52:16
we're back around to me and where we at like to I think to
52:19
through Yeah, well my we have only two but you know we have
52:25
nine in the convo. So we still have like eight cuts
52:30
that need to be made. I should have went with three.
52:33
Let's see. One, two, three, four, five,
52:36
six, seven. I got seven left, eight left,
52:38
rather and got ya nine left. I have nine left texting so
52:44
we'll do a couple more rounds here and then we'll dump out.
52:46
Yeah I think like maybe for sounds about, right.
52:52
Let me I know this is out there. So let me Let's go to good.
52:58
Am how about brand name? No, I cut it for one in Rome.
53:07
C'est la vie. It's going to be a lot of that
53:14
from here on out. Yeah.
53:16
Yeah let me find it on the list. Oh my God.
53:26
There it is. All right, right.
53:30
Okay so I have to I've to that I really want to play.
53:38
Okay, so I tried to go outside the box of this song is not rack
53:46
and all circles. I'm gonna go with everybody.
53:50
Yeah, I got it. Yeah, yes, yeah, yes, oh my God.
53:55
You know, so good. That piano.
53:59
Very jazz band. Very Jazzy when it starts with
54:02
the can't you just picture Mac sitting at a table?
54:05
Fiona Smoky rooms. You want to know what's special
54:10
about that is that's not even Mac Miller song.
54:13
It's Arthur know. It's odds off Vindicator by
54:17
Arthur Lee in 1972. Hmm.
54:21
Oh well, I'm glad you didn't know that because he doesn't
54:23
like, absolutely. Yeah.
54:30
To further that point look, I know I've somehow gotten that.
54:35
That reputation on this show, I would prefer to not put a cover
54:40
through but right obviously. But sometimes I wouldn't have
54:45
known. Like, there's no way I would
54:47
have known. I mean, yeah, you know, if if it
54:51
wasn't so good, if this was ever in Jeopardy, of hitting the
54:57
cutting floor and I would have looked at the credits, then
55:00
maybe right. But like, when I first heard it,
55:04
it was already on. Like, you know, this is at least
55:09
in my top 25 and then when I came back to it I'm like this is
55:14
my in my top 21 and then I'm like, oh I think it's actually
55:17
in my like top 15, it ended up like somewhere in my top ten it
55:20
was never going to get caught is my point.
55:22
So like this hasn't It's so good.
55:27
Alright, so I mean, look, it is and this also shows that he can
55:30
do covers Yeah, yeah. And he hits that.
55:35
This is not wrapped. This is not wrap.
55:37
This is how folk this is not. I don't know what it is.
55:41
It's you know it's just it just shows more of, you know, he's
55:45
just so musically. Involved.
55:52
Alright. Very good.
55:54
Very good. We got three.
55:55
So who's all right? Three Melissa.
56:00
Let me, let me finish my movies with the sound off, and this is
56:04
another kind of weird one and I'm hoping to at least hit my
56:08
dad with it, but it's a, geez, no sorry.
56:14
No, I cannot see view that one, you know what?
56:17
Sometimes I just, I like to, I drive a Monte Carlo, SS, like a
56:23
2000. So sometimes I just like to
56:26
blast those speakers. Roll them windows down.
56:30
And sound like a d-bag out loud. And that's that's my song.
56:38
I couldn't that's one of those. I'm sticking all of all of
56:42
Campus. Yeah.
56:46
I was listening to the so most of the time I listen to these
56:50
playlists, like, as I'm picking my son up from school, so like
56:55
I'm listening to this, I'm this old ass white man, my son's
56:59
school, my son is 13. So I'm like huh?
57:05
Like I mean, like what you like, obviously.
57:08
But I'm also thinking, you know, I don't want to embarrass my kid
57:12
either. Yeah, exactly.
57:16
One could get you a stuck about 500 yards away from the school
57:20
if you play it loud enough. Alright, we're back around to
57:25
me. Shoot.
57:30
All right. Um, How about?
57:38
I'll go back to divine feminine. How about how about stay?
57:42
No, no, I love today. I do.
57:48
That was a that was there. It was.
57:51
It was there. I don't know what happened to it
57:54
but no I think we're in that point, you know, where you I
57:58
think I didn't want to have the moaning at the end of my song
58:03
and it in there. Yes, there were a couple I cut
58:09
because of that. Stay in skin.
58:12
I love the song skin but I can't sit through. 30 seconds of sex
58:18
noises with my father. You know fair enough.
58:23
She won't, she won't watch. Orange is the New Black with me.
58:28
I'm not gonna lie. There were there were definitely
58:30
a couple times. I'm listening.
58:31
I'm like man, I'm doing this with a dad and his daughter like
58:36
this, this could get weird. Yeah.
58:38
Well, but there was a song that I caught just because they One
58:42
line that I just couldn't get asked, you know what happened
58:47
supposed to even comes up? Stay gets one.
58:50
All right, you're up Brian. Okay, so I'm gonna go back to
58:57
swimming. I'm gonna go with a big Vibe
59:00
song. I'm going to put some money on
59:03
the weather and I'm going with wings.
59:06
Got it. Okay I don't but it's got to I
59:13
figured was gonna hit listen with lyrics.
59:15
I was going to hit her with that one.
59:17
You sure did. I put some money on the weather?
59:21
We're in for it who here has ever done forever because of
59:26
money. All right, Alyssa, you know
59:32
what? I'm gonna I'm gonna, it's it's
59:38
heads or tails for me right now and what I want to go next
59:40
because I know that I could hit each of you individually with
59:44
this with these are let me hit the funk section here, a little
59:49
bit on soulmate from the divine feminine.
59:57
I don't have it. No, I guess you guys are not my
1:00:02
soul mate. Again, that record I probably
1:00:09
could have made a case for just about anything.
1:00:12
Oh yeah. So it's just kind of like, what
1:00:14
do I pick? All right, so we'll do one more
1:00:22
round and then we'll dump out. I think that sounds about right?
1:00:26
All right. Which record is this?
1:00:35
Let's look at circles here. How about complicated?
1:00:39
Nope. Very complicated indeed.
1:00:45
Yeah, circles was tough for me because so much, you know,
1:00:50
there's, you know, this was released after he had already
1:00:54
disappeared, was always after he denied him which I didn't find
1:00:58
out until afterwards that he was dead.
1:01:04
Oh yeah, I don't know. I'm sure of this.
1:01:07
That would know if he recorded circles is an album or if it was
1:01:12
something that people had put together or you know, but I
1:01:18
there's a lot of there's a lot of vibing.
1:01:23
Yeah. I don't, I don't know.
1:01:25
I might only like guess was and I mean, I'm sure there's
1:01:30
somebody out there who does know is that this Was there their
1:01:35
attempt at trying to get him his his so deserved Grammy when they
1:01:40
snubbed him on swimming. So I don't know.
1:01:44
It sounds like a lot of admittance went into this album
1:01:48
and understanding fault and but it's a great album regardless of
1:01:54
what whether it was meant to be heard or not.
1:01:58
Alright, it's definitely like a rainy day album.
1:02:01
It's raining out. You just put on circles and you
1:02:04
can just catch a Vibe. All right, okay.
1:02:09
Where do I find you guys? Oh, boy.
1:02:15
So how do you wonder, who's going to play Justin City with
1:02:21
features? But I love CeeLo Green.
1:02:27
I love him, he's incredible. So I'm going with, we off a
1:02:32
feminine. I don't have it.
1:02:36
No do I look I do. I love these and see well and
1:02:46
then you had to go there with Mac.
1:02:48
It was just like a perfect mix for me.
1:02:52
I'm not gonna front and he may have atoned for this.
1:02:57
But again this this discography those last three records
1:03:00
especially were tight. It's tough.
1:03:05
So like I'm looking for anything.
1:03:06
I was like, oh he's got CeeLo Green, I love Cielo but he did
1:03:09
have some like really awful things to say about rape not
1:03:12
that long ago. So let's all I didn't know that.
1:03:16
Yeah, I'm not big on that dig into Twitter or stuff so I had
1:03:20
no idea. I mean, when I say recently, I
1:03:23
mean probably like six seven years ago it was a while ago,
1:03:26
which is why I'm not okay, which is why I'm not sure if he's
1:03:29
atone for it or not, but I was like, oh I have a reason.
1:03:34
So there you go. All right, listen, I know, we're
1:03:39
getting close to dumping, and I think that this is a really,
1:03:44
really important song and it is genuinely one that makes me tear
1:03:51
up. Every time I hear it.
1:03:53
And that is a perfect, perfect circle, /, godspeed.
1:03:58
And if I, I don't think we're going to To make it 25 at this
1:04:05
point but if I had if I had that shot that's going in there it's
1:04:12
it's the middle of the album. If you look at good am it's like
1:04:15
the true middle of the album and in the true middle of the song
1:04:19
he he fully admits to his addiction and how you know he
1:04:23
doesn't want to die and have people have to call his mom and
1:04:28
tell them that there's there's more they could have done but
1:04:31
they just didn't and he He's he's telling everyone you know,
1:04:37
I don't want to die this way. I want to get better and then he
1:04:41
never does and it is a truly devastating song if you listen
1:04:49
to it all the way through and really, really listen to it.
1:05:01
All right. Well, you know, I like I said,
1:05:03
this is, this is, this is her, she's into lyrics.
1:05:06
Yeah, he's got the lyrics first so I should have, I should
1:05:10
played her more but I didn't but you should have.
1:05:13
You should have taken that into consideration when I told you
1:05:16
yesterday, I was listening to my playlist and I started tearing
1:05:20
up. Yeah, I didn't even know.
1:05:24
I had no idea. Idea.
1:05:25
All right. So I only have four left.
1:05:28
I think it might go. Well, I might be five but I'll
1:05:31
start it at the top. I am blue, slide park.
1:05:36
I'll say yes. All right, so that's kind of to
1:05:39
this conversation is going to It's going to be a lot.
1:05:45
Yes it's an opener. Well it's not quite the opener
1:05:48
but it's guilt. Yeah, and that should tell you
1:05:53
something about Mac to is I love when you get what you're
1:05:58
supposed to get off the first track and especially if the
1:06:03
first song that you hear by the artist on the playlist and that
1:06:08
does do it. But I feel like he does so
1:06:10
there's so much growth. I was like It didn't feel like
1:06:15
the right lead off for me I guess is what I'm getting at.
1:06:19
Right. I'll stay on that same record.
1:06:21
How about under the weather? No.
1:06:28
I know Alyssa was already out on that record.
1:06:30
That's why I've been holding on to these for the dump out.
1:06:33
Yeah, yeah. I have a couple of things aside
1:06:35
to alright, moving on to movies how about suplexes inside of
1:06:41
complexes and duplexes. That's a no that's a lot of fun
1:06:45
to say. Yeah that is a lot of fun.
1:06:47
It's a yeah, that's just so it's a weird record.
1:06:51
I'm glad we got the way the one at least.
1:06:55
All right next. I've Got jump.
1:07:00
No, no, no. Okay, we're getting towards the
1:07:06
end here jump. You can tell a kind of like
1:07:12
reached for a couple actually. Yeah, here's my exact last one I
1:07:17
can see. No, no deals mean.
1:07:24
Yeah. I mean yeah but also the last
1:07:28
thing we need is more more stuff.
1:07:31
Mucking up the conversation. So all right.
1:07:33
Yeah. Brian.
1:07:35
If you want to dump out who and I I almost picked three for the
1:07:39
thing for him to do so. Okay.
1:07:42
Let's go with rush hour. That was a wake-up for me.
1:07:49
No. Does he have it?
1:07:52
No, I didn't. Okay, I'm not real.
1:08:00
Wow. Okay.
1:08:03
Frick Park Market. Yeah, you're done.
1:08:27
Just for fun. You want to dump out, whatever
1:08:29
you got left. Attention.
1:08:36
That was a close one. I was really hoping to hit you
1:08:40
on this one just and I have congratulations.
1:08:45
I had that originally, it's to its Angelic and it's spoken word
1:08:50
and I loved it. Yeah, I honestly think that
1:08:54
ended up being the strike against it because I now look,
1:08:58
when I'm saying that, what I'm what I'm really saying is, hey,
1:09:02
I need reasons to cut shit, so that's what I'm really saying.
1:09:06
But, yeah, I was like, okay, it's great, it's spoken word.
1:09:12
As you mentioned Angelic, like that is definitely Um, I would
1:09:15
use to describe it but dang comes in and you're like I said
1:09:18
man from dang to the rest to the end of what we chose.
1:09:23
I was locked so Team or I've got in this one, was another another
1:09:31
finished with spoken word that I think is is just perfect.
1:09:36
Oh the fact that neither of you had that really hurts me.
1:09:45
And then the last one that I had was once a day He's a day that
1:09:56
one was you? Look, I'm belaboring the point.
1:09:59
When I say, oh, that one was closed because look at those
1:10:04
last three I throw Stone and I could have had it.
1:10:08
All right, so we end up. You know, I should have went
1:10:12
with three. We end up with three objects in
1:10:13
the mirror. Dang, and everybody.
1:10:15
That's a good start. And we have 11 that we need to
1:10:20
trim down to seven, so that we've got four Cuts.
1:10:24
We need to make here. Let me rearrange this list real
1:10:27
quick. And then we will See what where
1:10:32
we're at here. All right, so the 11 that went
1:10:35
through with twos blue. Slide Park Party on Fifth
1:10:39
Avenue, PA nights 100 grand kids.
1:10:42
When in Rome my favorite part hurt feelings.
1:10:45
What's the use wings? So it goes and blue world, you
1:10:52
know, maybe I'm speaking out of turn.
1:10:53
I feel like I should probably give this to Alyssa but like I
1:10:57
feel like so it goes kind of of probably she should be in.
1:11:05
I don't know how you feel about that Alyssa but to me so it goes
1:11:08
kind of feels like it should have been a home run willing to
1:11:12
fight tooth and nail for so agos.
1:11:16
What do you think? Yeah.
1:11:17
Cause I'm the one who didn't have it.
1:11:19
All right. I think right?
1:11:20
Yeah I don't have it so you in Let's do that.
1:11:25
Um, Yeah, man, let's do it. All right, so it's your first
1:11:31
first time here. Alyssa, I'm going to give the
1:11:33
next one to you. Like if there's either one that
1:11:37
you're like, okay, we absolutely need it or one that you're like,
1:11:41
cool that it got here, but we this doesn't help us tell.
1:11:45
Max story 11 of either. It's up to you.
1:11:56
Okay, with letting When in Rome goes go, if if we gotta cut real
1:12:03
bad, I think that his competitive rap is great, but
1:12:07
when in Rome doesn't really speak for him, the way some of
1:12:10
these other ones do. Okay, Brian, I agree with.
1:12:14
All right. So let's go.
1:12:15
Yeah, that make it a little easier.
1:12:18
Let's drop that like I said that was one of the bottom ones for
1:12:21
me because like I look divert, like the verses were so good.
1:12:25
That the course was a little and of course, was a little too
1:12:28
weird for me so but yeah, I'm okay with getting out.
1:12:33
All right. So let's, let's go the other
1:12:35
way. Then I'll listen, there's won't
1:12:36
so if when, and when I was out, is there one?
1:12:38
That's still swimming around that you're like, man, I cannot
1:12:40
believe that that only got two. It's Party on Fifth Ave.
1:12:47
Yeah, I've had a few Yes. I say that II through the darts
1:12:56
at a wrong song and party f is out for the been there.
1:13:00
I was the holdout and I'm definitely willing to put part
1:13:04
after that so that takes us up to five.
1:13:06
All right so if you want to do the same brand, if you want to
1:13:09
drop one, add one that's up to you.
1:13:11
If you've got one that you're looking at.
1:13:15
So I so I really want to get so I missed on ladders but like to
1:13:26
see what's the use. Okay?
1:13:28
Because he does use that funk be a bit.
1:13:31
I don't think any of the other songs have a funk beat that we
1:13:35
have so far. So I'm good with some, I would
1:13:42
like to see what's the use in there.
1:13:43
All right, I was the holdout and yeah, if we have, I mean, We
1:13:55
have everybody. So it makes me okay with
1:13:59
dropping blue world but the same time that's the only everybody's
1:14:04
the only song of circles. We have everybody in blue
1:14:07
world's only two Circle songs which again are, you know,
1:14:12
they'll like a posthumus record. Okay, well, I'm okay, dropping
1:14:19
blue, slide park. If we have to, okay, I do like
1:14:24
the be but we do. We do get more upbeat songs with
1:14:29
party and Fifth and what's the use?
1:14:31
Hmm, so if we had to cut one of the upbeat songs, I'm okay with
1:14:36
blue slide. All right.
1:14:38
So now comes the question. So we're at one, two, three,
1:14:41
four, five, six. Now comes the question of Album
1:14:46
representation. Do we think that's important
1:14:47
here? Because if it is, if it is, I've
1:14:51
100 grandkids has to go in at this point because it's the only
1:14:53
thing right from good am. Yeah.
1:14:58
Oh man. God damn is one of my favorite.
1:15:03
Yeah. Yeah, I think Mac Mac really
1:15:07
focused on making sure. And this is something that you
1:15:11
notice when you when you listen through back-to-back-to-back
1:15:14
that every single album flows into the next one, so album
1:15:19
representation with him is very important.
1:15:23
All right, so putting 100 grand kids in.
1:15:27
Gives us 7 and it also covers all of our ground I think.
1:15:33
Yeah, we got circles. We got swimming.
1:15:35
We got the divine feminine and we got watching movies, and we
1:15:39
got blue slide park. Yeah, okay.
1:15:41
So there's the album representation.
1:15:43
We have three songs left with between PA nights.
1:15:48
My favorite part hurt, feelings wings.
1:15:51
And I left Blue World alive. So Instinct on one that can go
1:16:02
or do you have a stronger Instinct on one, that should be
1:16:05
in at this point, feelings Wings, blue Revolt my pics.
1:16:16
I really like. Oh boy.
1:16:24
I'd be willing to vouch for her feeling, since I'm the one who
1:16:27
didn't have it. If that makes it easier for
1:16:30
anybody. Yeah, I think we have, I think a
1:16:34
good choice to make, is between wings and hurt feelings.
1:16:37
Okay. Because they See, I wrote like a
1:16:44
note next to her things that I can't read.
1:16:46
What it says, there was like a lyric that hit me, I can't read
1:16:51
what I wrote different Something, I don't know what I
1:16:56
wrote the next way that I didn't fight.
1:17:01
I put some money on forever because I just like that.
1:17:09
Well, I mean, if you're looking at just beats alone, I love
1:17:15
this. I love them, I love them.
1:17:19
Both this is, what, what don't we have covered here?
1:17:30
Like a lot of a lot of Mac, but have we shown everything?
1:17:35
There is to show is the question.
1:17:38
So, right? So do we got?
1:17:39
We got weird objects in the mirror, which is weird, but not
1:17:43
really dang. Very smooth.
1:17:45
We got everybody. So it goes Party on Fifth
1:17:47
Avenue, some, you know, upbeat what's the use?
1:17:50
We got some funk 100 grand kids. So that's the seven that are in.
1:17:57
Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot.
1:18:14
Okay, okay. Yeah.
1:18:30
All right, so let's grab her feelings.
1:18:33
All right. So now it's the final cut.
1:18:36
It's between PA nights. My favorite part, and blue
1:18:40
world. Does anybody think I'm okay?
1:18:48
Think man, I will blue world. I am.
1:18:54
My favorite part own. I think I'm okay with cutting PA
1:19:02
nights because we do have some upbeat stuff in there, but it's
1:19:07
adding Blue World making this list to too much of a downer
1:19:11
like Yes, he was very proud of
1:19:25
Pittsburgh and so, yeah. True.
1:19:41
And we did it and we didn't take bloop the wind, take the song
1:19:44
Blue slide park, which is literally a public park in
1:19:47
Pittsburgh. Yeah.
1:19:50
So if you want to represent Pittsburgh because he represents
1:19:53
Pittsburgh, it's a big part of his life.
1:19:55
So big part was his identity. So yeah, I'm okay with taking a
1:20:02
few nights, all right? And then so then it's really the
1:20:06
question is between my favorite part in Blue World.
1:20:29
I mean to me like it it's all heat.
1:20:32
His stuff was so good that like not that I didn't notice the
1:20:35
features but like they didn't weigh on my decisions like
1:20:39
hardly at all. So you know, to me, it's cool if
1:20:44
I'm because we already got. Dang, dang was unanimous and
1:20:47
that's got Anderson POC on it. So, hey, I mean, I picked both
1:20:52
these songs. So I mean, I'm having with
1:20:55
either one honestly. Believe Alyssa was the holdout
1:21:03
in my favorite part, what she? Which he at first and it is said
1:21:07
that was the old. Was the song that got her into
1:21:09
Mac Miller, so so fast song that was you were Gateway songs and
1:21:14
maybe this could be someone else's game.
1:21:16
That's a good point. Yeah.
1:21:39
Yeah. Ariana.
1:22:03
I highly recommend making a list of everything we say, exact, and
1:22:08
listen to our 10 first. And then listen to everything
1:22:10
everything that didn't make the cut.
1:22:13
Yeah, you know, I can't, if I'm if I'm being fair here, I got to
1:22:19
play at least a little blue world because my favorite part I
1:22:25
got man like The one advantage already that I'll give to my
1:22:33
favorite part. Is he get right to it?
1:22:37
Yeah. Yeah, there's a big there's a
1:22:39
buildup to do world. In.
1:22:42
So the question is, does that matter at this point?
1:22:51
Oh man, let me a hard to hurt. Or I'm sorry.
1:22:56
My favorite part is more of like that smooth side.
1:23:01
Yeah, yeah. We're this is more leaning
1:23:05
towards your traditional hip hop side.
1:23:09
Right. Yeah, I'm cool with going with
1:23:16
my favorite part. Okay, let's do that.
1:23:22
And then that gives us 10 sort sheet and I'll make sure that's
1:23:27
10 and then we'll crank up the heat here.
1:23:29
So here's our 10 objects in the mirror.
1:23:31
Dang, everybody. So it goes Party on Fifth
1:23:33
Avenue. What's the use?
1:23:34
100 grand? Kids hurt feelings.
1:23:36
PA nights my favorite part. Brian of those 10 which one is
1:23:41
the one. I know how these are all.
1:23:56
I know, but I think for me it's it's like what's the use?
1:24:02
Because that would bring me in the mirror.
1:24:16
Which one is the one? Boy.
1:24:25
Do you have an inclination? Alyssa will come back to dead?
1:24:28
I'm going to say, I'm going to say like what's the use for
1:24:32
knots? Just because one of my
1:24:34
favorites. All right.
1:24:41
Yeah, that's what you think because I'm stuck.
1:24:58
That's true. Yeah.
1:25:15
Yeah. Oh we have hurt feelings in
1:25:18
there too. Yeah.
1:25:21
Fucking feelings has a little bit of everything to.
1:25:24
So, you know, I'll tell you guys my inclinations were object
1:25:28
objects in the mirror and dang. Yeah, number one because they
1:25:35
were unanimous so like that says something.
1:25:37
Yeah, yep. I feel like to This is point we
1:25:43
can't with one song. We're not going to be able to
1:25:45
nail what he is. So right.
1:25:48
The Common Ground was objects in the mirror.
1:25:51
Dang and everybody was the other one so like I don't know.
1:25:54

1:26:14
in the mirror just because it's, it's a little weird.
1:26:17
Like he might he might be able to sit through it.
1:26:22
Yeah. So
1:26:46
Do you have? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
