in the States. Have never been to higher. That was
(00:45):
like a rap right there. I was released that really
should that was a part any time to wrap you
say something that's like really really fly. That's called up far.
That's just you know, little hip hop for what was?
Of course you know this, boys, it's your boy bat
A k A. The frog in here with me is
my main man, my brother. That's right. This is Mike Brow,
(01:06):
my main man. Brian Strickling is always in the building rock.
He is our official MS five secret inside for a
long box. That's what I'd like to say. This is
my guy here, Brian was going on. I can fill that,
but I'm giving fist for the Feisty five. Feisty five Indeed,
it went down tonight. Welcome to the Mass Singer quarter Finals.
(01:32):
Get one step closer to holding the Golden Mask trophy.
Shout the nick if, but not the shoes shining. It's
the outfit that shining. But speaking of tonight's show, in
a few minutes, it will be don hands on deck
because hands and that's right. Ak the Russian dogs out
in the building. We open it up and get the
Russian dogs out here. We're gonna be giving a squirrel
(01:54):
alert at the spoiler. That means more clues, more answers.
So let's go ahead and talk about it. Feisty five
and with them tonight in a major way. And right
off the bat, I was entertained, Nicole, you awake over there,
I'm done. Oh, these names are coming to me and
my dreams. Guys. Okay, so I might not have the
(02:15):
Golden Year, but I have got the Golden pillow and
I am determined to get the final five front. Nicobray
has a golden Yes, she says things are coming to
her and her dream sleeping on the job, sleeping on
the job literally. And also we got to talk about
our guest panelists, one of my favorite guys in the business.
(02:36):
So fixing out the Rob ribble Man. You definitely did
your thing tonight. And he who didn't run out on
the state didn't turn off the lights. Not too bad.
But he's gonna make up for next week. Oh, listen
listening WHODU didn't do anything tonight? Definitely be prepared for
him to act YEA come next week. Yes, I know
(02:56):
William because he's very cocky. Next week maybe the big
reveal of theod Oh Man, you don't have to text
me three am the list of names anymore. Okay, I
think I'll speak for the whole one time mass singer universe.
I think this is like the world person which is
ready to get out. I'm just ready to know who
that is. Just un MASKU and online and read it.
(03:16):
They're convinced it's one of three people Jamie FOXX, Joe McHale,
Wayne Brady. Those seem to be the top three, and
I'm gonna tell you right now, none of those are right.
And I figured that maybe this person doesn't sing, doesn't
want to wrap them nothing, and he's just disrupt him
and we hired him to be exactly what he wanted
to be, being that disruptive, So I can't wait to see.
(03:37):
I'm excited. Thanks Sammis Pa for giving a podcast a
shout out tonight's episode Real World TV. Oh Man, bigger
than big. I could say it now, Mama, I made it.
I could saying proud, Mama made it many they've cut
half a filing song to make Peo promote our podcast.
(03:59):
That's a goof oh Man, get shut out into Fox
MS five cakes, the studios. You gotta know the rundown.
Thank you guys so much, into the fans, to the people,
you guys keeping us alive, and you guys just keep
on tuning in and we appreciate it. Also heart for sure,
thank you guys so much for that big that we need.
We need billboards. But if I don't, yeah, in fact,
(04:25):
But right now, let's go ahead and dive into the
show and tackle some of these clues that we've seen tonight.
Let's go ahead and start up with black Swan. That
performance was incredible, the song that she performed tonight, thinking
out loud, I can't believe that the Russian dolls are
out there no more. It's that gonna only mean one thing.
Black Swan is going to the finals. That's just what
(04:46):
it is. You're calling it now clue package, career disappointments,
and they're afraid to take risks, resolution to say yes
to things that scare her. In her voice, we get
to start there before you dive into the Clues brand.
It's the voice for me because I heard this voice
and weeks ago I made a guest and I said,
I think black Swan is Joe right, Jojo gives off
(05:07):
pop singer vibes. She can definitely trick you a lot
of soul. Is to the point to where tonight's episode,
during her performance, I literally walked out the room just
to hear the voice. Whoever black Swan is when they unmasked,
I know who this is. Nicole said Jojo last week,
and Robin talked her out of it because he's convinced
not jo Joe. They both worked with her before tonight
and mentioned Dualipa, and then Robin said Normani because the
(05:30):
big clue tonight with Share right, So Share leads to
Normani because Normandy dresses her for Halloween. Dulippa needs to
Share because Dualipa famously wore the Share naked dress during
a performance in Paris. A couple other names that were
mentioned based on the share, but this didn't make the
Addit was Christina Aguilera and Julianne Hoff because they were
(05:50):
both in burlesque with share. And I'm gonna tell you
that when black Swan gets to sing it you hear
a little soul in there. Christina Aguilera has dead boy. Listen,
I've been on the stage with Ristina Aguilera before, where
before to brown? Let me take something right now? WHOA
can't go there? I just know singing and I know singers,
and it's just that soulful thing. Christin Aguilera is not
(06:11):
that bad of a guest. And then also the feminale
clue she was on Oprah recently got a major recognition,
and I know I said that my guests is seamanted.
What I'm gonna do after this show, I'm gonna get
on my worldwide web to see if Joe Joe ever appeared,
and if she has, it's Joe. That's just it's it.
(06:33):
It's a lot, It's a lot, all right, That is it? Now?
The new clues we saw, we saw four Black Rings,
we saw Global to desk, magnifying glass, and here we
go again. We love cash and we love change. Because
we have another Nickel and a penny on a desk.
He's doing some tough clues. Yeah, alright, Well, moving on,
we got Piglet, who is another finalist favorite who I
believe will be there when it's all said and done.
(06:55):
That's just what I believe. Got down to night, switched
it up, did a little Stevie wonderful, shut it down.
They shut it down. Pig lit. Yeah, that opened was
like something out of Josh Robin, like he started see yeah,
(07:26):
you know, I thought he was going to kick this
thing off acapella. I thought he was about to sing acapella.
The whole time. I said this is about to be different.
Because I cut the commercial you just to see the
fans like, oh face, I'm like, oh man, what did
Pigley do? Oh no. But it was the reaction of
how he started that blew people the way blew me
Away started off with a little bit of opera. Nick
said that the pig was lit, which I definitely agree.
(07:47):
The pig was lit. Pig lift. Is that all you're
gonna say, pig lamp? The big clue was Bruce Willis
absolutely that's what lad Jenny to justin Timber because and
they were in that movie Alpha Dog together, correct, and
then Ken mentioned there was a Bruce Willis action movie.
Ken was convinced it's an action star, which is why
(08:08):
he went with Hawkeye Jeremy Renner from The Avengers. Then
Robin mentioned Nick Lasha, Hello made that guess you made
that guests a couple of weeks ago. See this face? Yea.
That means I'm standing my ground today, Brian, We're almost that.
I'm cutting it off right now. I believe that this
is Nicholas And can I tell you why? Brian, It's
about the family mentioned the nineties, but group was hot
(08:31):
in the nineties and sing Backstreet Boys, don't be afraid
bb Mac? Who else get a little hot in here? Oh?
Is it? Is it like? Oh? It's like yeah, it's
like that type of hot. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that
type of hot. That's what I'm saying. Brian. Piglet mentioned nineties.
(08:53):
That could be a double entime to that double meaning
that could be nineties for nine degrees. That could mean
we dominated the n nineties, right, this is what stamped
in Picklet minched his high profile relationships. Well, yeah, he's
at that, and that's what sealed the deal, nothing needs
to be said. I think that the further you go
(09:15):
on the show, the clues become not clues anymore. They
become like basically just giving it up, you know what
I mean? Almost there, And that did it for me.
Those two clues what I was looking for. Yes, I
was waiting to hear something referenced to heat or heat
wave or you know, summertime it was hot, or just
something to go along with ninety degrees. But when he
said the nineties and then mentioned all my high profile relationships,
(09:37):
so he had a reality show years ago with high
profile relationships, but in them we've seen them all. I
just think it's Nick. Let's say I'm rolling with my
man on this one all the way. I'm gonna give
you a couple of names that didn't make the edit tonight,
Rob Rigglesoe for grace because of the nineties, that seventies
shodowing to get it. And then Jenny in addition to
justin Timberlande. She said Nick jonas a different name because
(09:59):
he is an action He was in Jaman during I
don't know where the Necklace action movie, and that is
to throw off You're absolutely right, but can I act
you this. I never knew that the Jonah's brothers were
hot in the nineties. You see what I'm going with this.
You gotta be good with that one. I've better good
a lie to you. You got you got me with
that one? All right? Move with on man Jetti. Song
(10:21):
he performed tonight, Blessed the Broken Road, definitely a different
song for him. He might be the Abominable Snowman, but
he made my heart melt. It was really beautiful because
you stripped it all back and it was very sincere.
Thank you jealous. I was actually happy to see Yettie
step out the box and show the vocal range. I
(10:41):
think this is one of those type of records that
vocal heavy, and we saw him sitting by a campfire.
Nicole said. He tries to show a new side to
himself with every performance, which I definitely get and filled.
Even with this one tonight, he stepped it up. I
believe he's not afraid to try the things, and I
believe Yeddie is comfortable with going and stepping out of
the box and think that's what's important. And I think
that's why he continues to move along in the competition
(11:04):
is because of that. A week before he brings up
the skates. Last week's Dancing Crazy, he brought up the
moves for us this time. He's always trying new stuff,
and that's what's important on this show is everyone giving
people something different, some growth, versatility. Absolutely his first chance
to ever sing a country record, which is something I
found out tonight. That was big. And also the super
(11:25):
fan clue which led me to believe, I know who
this person is was my main man? Did he a
k A. Sean Puffy Love now changed his name Sean
Love Colmbs. Did you know that, Brian he legally did?
He legally changed his name Sean Love Colmbs. Now that's great. Yeah,
(11:46):
I'm changing my name the frog Shoan Frog Moss. He's
got the same middle name as Jennifer Love. And they
also said lucky to have work with Diddy, which a
lot of people don't get a chance to do that,
and Famine clue quite droop with threat, so that sided.
He stepped up with the mass singer legend. I was
trying to break that one down. The new clues. We
saw that snowball that said wild card, and I believe
(12:07):
that all of these clues lead to one person, and
that would be my good friend of Marion Marion Grandberry
a k a. Marion formally lead singer from the group
B two K. My guy, don't have to talk about
it every single week. We talked about Yetti. But I
think you guys get the picture the super clue when
he references Diddy and he says that I was glad
that I worked with him. There's a record called Bump
Bump Bump, which was a number one record, featured big
(12:30):
record for the group. So all the signs from weeks
ago when we first saw Yettie, it's all going down
the Marion Highway. Jenny said, Neo, Robin said, Channing Tatum
and the step off. Ken said twister. Wait stop, I'm
glad we got to this part now, Brian. When Ken
(12:50):
said twister, Twister, you say twister? You know twister? Yo
almost fell off out. And the reason why I say
that is because when I was on the show, they
kept on Marian's name all through the show this season.
(13:11):
Now that he's finally here or I think that this
is Yettie, no one says this is this is ridiculous.
And then Nicole her guesses mysteriously didn't make this episode,
but a little bts. She said, three people sure, Chris Brown,
Mario right right right. A lot of people online are
(13:32):
thinking it's Marcus Houston. What do you think about bad guys? Now?
I say this Marcus Houston being that I believe in
a lot of others do believe this, That it is
a marian. Marcus Houston wouldn't be a far off guest
because when B two K started out, Marcus and B
two K, they all were on the same label. It
was like family and they came up together. So the
Marcus Houston guest is not far off. It's not it.
(13:54):
That's all. Moving on to a million song, he did
drop it like it's hot. Oh and the Lizard attitude,
Oh gosh, that was like MTV music Awar performance right there.
That was crazy. Let's go ahead and talk about a million.
(14:15):
Jenny and Robins said, every week he's so great. Started
this journey for funds so his family would get a
kick out of it, even with a theater background, which
is something I definitely did not know. He has never
done a show like this. Super fan clue Jackie Chan
and he has loved him ever since. Living in Asia.
I never knew that Chameleon lived in Asia and the
(14:35):
Famil clue friend of Martha Stewart, which I believe, I
know how and saw him play Madison Square guarding all
roads lead to Wis Khalifa friends of Martha store That
could throw you off if you don't know, because Snoop
does have a show with Martha cooking with Martha Snoop.
But you have to understand, you got to dig a
little deeper. If Wiz Khalifa is close with Snoop Dogg
(15:00):
and they are very close, don't you think Martha's over
Snoop's house could kind of zs it over and that's
how he connected his relationship with Steward. I believe. So
that's inside information, see Brian, even you didn't have that
inside it, I did not. I wanted. I liked the
idea with Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart in the kitchen together, hilarious. Hilarious.
Nicole mentioned course Snoop Dogg, Rob and Blake Griffin and
(15:23):
then Jenny and Robbin's guesses didn't make the episode. Robin
said lamar odom and Jenny said machine Gun. Kelly. Jenny
is sticking with mg K. She is convinced this is
machine gun Kelly and some people online agree with her.
But once again, you gotta just look at the clues, man,
all the details I've been given throughout the weeks, the
black and yellow references, little cam who were doing it
(15:43):
for a million, it all just aligns up to that.
The song going Diamond, the reference to the jewel, that,
all of that stuff that we've seen in the m
m A stuff I said. He stays in shave. If
you follow with Cleeveland Instagram, you'll see that this is
all he does. He goes to the gym almost every
day to train for m m A. Not that he's
gonna fight, but he trained just to get in shape.
It's good exercise. And I'm gonna stand on that. You know.
(16:04):
Snoop found me. That's my uncle. So of course, more
more insider information. How am I giving out the inside
information about to say you're the one you should have
my job? Man? No, you're doing well, Brian. I'm on
the other side of the of the mic. O, thank you,
thank you. You're right there. Man. No, that's what you're doing.
I found a guess on this. I believe it is
(16:25):
with Khalifa. That's just my guess. Alright, moving on last
but not least clue Dole, do you her dumb dumbs
cludd I just had to stick my beacon and tell
you that you're so far off of your yet he guesses. Ah,
(16:45):
he said he'll be back one more time next week
before before he reveals just true how he talks. You
just thought of something? What if you're clutle? Do? I
mean I could because they don't see my face. I
could be. I might be, but I'm too busy in
the studio. But you doing the podcast. I don't see
(17:07):
any feathers. Yeah, there's no feathers line around feathers, but
really not much to say this we're gonna who to do?
Is the fact that he came in during Yeti's performance.
I thought he was getting ready to do something crazy.
He was just alerting us, letting us know, Hey, we
almost done the finish line, this close to taking his
head off and showing you guys who I am. I'm
gonna say that. So we got two episodes left. I
know who it is and I've never and I've never
(17:29):
said this. I'm making a guest live right now. Yeah,
I know you're giving me face right now with such conviction.
What are you gonna say. The reason why I'm gonna
say this celebrity is because this celebrity has a movie
coming out. And I think that we've seen Little Wayne
appear on the Mass Singer week he dropped his new album. Yeah,
and this is a number one show in the country. Yeah,
(17:49):
you want that look, you come to Fox and you
come to Mass Singer if you want the look right,
absolute exposure, exposure. Oh man, everyone gets bless when you
leave MS five stage. Everyone won a super Bowl ring me.
I was back toeing Arenas again, Brian, you touched him
Miss five stage. You just get blessed. Something special about
that stage. And with that being said, being met, this
(18:12):
person it's not singing, can't sing, has a movie coming
out with Samuel Jackson. I'm breaking this thing now. I
think it's Chris Rock. I don't know why. Chris Rock.
That's a good guy. I will say this about glut
O Joe. I've mentioned this before. This person has never
been on the Mass Singer stage. Did you say he
was in an Academy wear winning mood like this person
(18:33):
was in an Oscar nominated Best Pictures Chris Rock every
don't so that's gonna do it? That killed my confidence
right there. That didn't happy I was, and it just
died on me. It just shot out my brain. It's
just all downhill from there. That's my guessing there. I
just do it out there, made him thinking too hard.
(18:53):
I like Chris Rock, I have a question for you,
since you're so good a predictions. So we get one
more unmasking and then we have our top three. It's
gonna make the mass singer top three. Oh, that's easy.
Piglet black Swan. I think Chamillion's gonna make it to
the fun I think it's gonna be Chamellion, Piglet black Swan.
Nobody cares about my favorite, but I have to be honest,
cha Million Chamellion is my favorite. Yeah, he gives off
(19:15):
frog vibes, but just more and more cooler, more laid back.
But I definitely feel that frog vibe. That's my Guy's
a Chamelion man, definitely. Oh, I hot guest. We got
a hot guest coming. Guest three three. I thought it
was eight. I saw eight cars. Runner. The way they
keep on, I don't know what's going on. Tonight's guests
(19:39):
kept us guessing who and how many Russian dolls there
really were all season, Brian, you know I've been dying
to talk to the Russian Dolls. Listen. They were my pick.
They were your fro runner. I told you, I said
finals nothing. Yeah, I said, it's gonna be hard to
be because come out, there's one of them, all right.
Next next week is two. They didn't multiplied. The four.
(20:00):
Just gonna be tough to beat three people that can
just sing that well. I said, it's not gonna happen.
But we're done with the guests, and we know who
they are. They've been making music together for nearly thirty years, okay,
and they harmonize their way into the Mass Singer history
as the first band to ever appear on our stage.
He's welcome to the podcast. The Doll Star line up
(20:21):
of brothers, and I'm talking about these three guys right here, Isaac,
Taylor and Zach I got handsome in the building. A
k to Russell Doll. What's going on? Thanks so much.
It's good enough for us that we were your number one.
(20:41):
I called you guys, the Brooklyn Nets of the Mass Singer.
That's like last week. I said, I think they're throwing
us off. I think it's just two of them, and
now that we know it's you guys. Was that a
part of the strategy that you guys came in way, okay,
let's throw them off, we'll do four dolls, we'll switch
to three. Was that all a part of the plan.
It was. It was definitely part of the strategy for sure.
So the show was obviously built around single contestants and
(21:04):
the idea that we could then kind of play with
everybody's mind a little bit and see if they could
keep people on their toes. I mean we we kind
of thought it was unfair to be and I was
just one I'd be like, what it's going on with
that over the fact it's a super up beeat show.
I mean, it's a competition, but it's not a cutthroat situation.
It's very much about this the spectacle and the costumes
(21:27):
and and we were having fun with it. I think
the other thing you have to remember is it's a competition,
but it's also a game. And we knew as soon
as it was there's three singers that there aren't that
many options and they're going to end up on hands
pretty quick. For us, the greatest thing about this show
is the fact that we got to go on and sing,
writing songs, performing songs, and to be able to just
(21:49):
zero in on that. It seemed really appealing. I for one,
really liked the fact that we are masked and the
secrecy plays well. I think to letting people are you
as a vocalist and as a performer without any kind
of preconceived notions. We didn't know it included spend index
that was like, okay, we're in. Yes, that did it?
(22:12):
Saw the ward. I've got to ask you this. We
have something that commonly been on the stage pretty much
a whole entire lives. Man, there's been certain shows you
get too and you might be a little nervous, But
I gotta ask you, was it difficult this time around
performing with each other being at We never do this
in costume, especially not a Russian dollf costle where now?
(22:32):
So yeah, not able to see anything. I think it's
probably the biggest challenge. You can't see each other, you
can't see the judges half the time. It definitely was
a new kind of challenge. There were definitely some nervous
because you really are sort of trying not to fall over.
But what you're really thinking about is I'm like, go left,
If I go left three steps, is that off the stage?
Because I'm pretty sure stage there are a few close
(22:57):
calls where people came right to the edge and part
of the costume staff running up to stop someone from
calling us. The only thing I will say for me
was I'm just glad that there wasn't too much choreography,
because the amount of choreography who did was about the
max I could possibly pull off. You've tried very hard
to avoid choreography our whole career. That's why you get
(23:19):
a guitar, you get some drums, you get some keywords. Hey,
we gotta stay right here, guys, this is our spot. Well,
but see, we're just talking about the coordinated parts. See,
I have a hard time walking and chewing gum with
the same So then we're doing a little back and forth.
I never mind talking and thinking. What I want to
know is this when it was just two of you
guys on the stage, and you know, to everyone at
(23:40):
home and if you watch the show, it's okay, there's
just two Russian dolls singing. We're all three of you
guys singing at the same time, even though it was
only two. That's stage magic. We're just gonna call it.
All three of us were always on stage. You know,
we made a conscious effort to make it sound like
as many voices as possible. So you'd hear moments where
two guys were singing in the same part, and so
you almost making a third voice by having two people
(24:02):
sing at the same time on the same notes. We
traded off a lot, Yeah, arranging the songs where you
trade off a lot. So here's a few lines from
one voice, here's a few lines from another voice, and
then there's definitely using range was definitely something we tried
to do. So I can sing pretty high, trying to
sing as high as you can to kind of keep
that is that a girl's voice? You guys don't normally
sing that high, you know kind of thing, so, you know,
(24:25):
just having fun with it. I mean, we were trying
to throw everything we could to keep people off the
trail exactly. You did a great job because Jenny and
Nicole after every episode was like, I think I heard
a female voice. I'm not sure, like you really through
the panel for many many weeks. Can I say that
that was a good and a bad thing? Right? In
one sense, you're like and sense You're like, they think
(24:46):
I'm a girl. I had no idea that two was
in one Russian doll outfit. Then there will just be one. Yeah,
it was interesting. Well, so let's talk about putting on
plat forms. Talk about that. I had the clever suggestion
of you have a piano, we need to play the piano.
(25:06):
So on that one bending over trying to play the
piano and trying to sort of kind of hit the
keys while in platforms. That was advised. He almost fainted
when he came up. I think the whole experience, it
is a lot of work. And as a performer, I mean,
we have all been performing most of our lives. So
there's a switch that goes off with Hey, you're projecting
(25:28):
or communicating. So to communicate with the audience or with
the judges through a foam doll costume, you started being like, man,
what can I do with my hand? Because I can't
do anything about this? What can I do with my voice?
You know what I do with my legs? And we
had very limited range of motion in those dolls. We
do know that we have another backup career Disney World.
(25:48):
Now we can do those moves. We can do when
you heard it there were wild car performance coming in.
Did that shake you guys up a little bit? I
think we were confident, but we never treated anything like
we got this right, right right. All you gotta do
is not the last Exactly just after the snail and off,
(26:11):
he was like, I'm good. Yeah, I know for a fact.
You know when it comes to to this show, the fans,
the clues, I'm the most clueless person. This is when
I get like my kin on you know what I mean.
What I mean by that is, you know, kid is
only throwing out the wildest guess is on the show.
I didn't even understand my own clue package and it
(26:31):
was about me. So I need you guys to help
me dissect some of these clues. And the number one clue,
the mind reader clue, it was a kangaroo. Of course,
everyone's thinking Australia. Who could it be? Is it an
Australian group? We saw a pop art self portrait driving cars.
What really confused me was clue to do said number
of squares was a clue three times seven equals twenty one.
(26:55):
There were just so many clues made in Milwaukee. Are
they from Aussie? Are they from Milwauk. I'm totally confused. Police,
it would all make sense to me, Go ahead, break
it down. We were all kind of going, wait, that's
a pretty deep cut. I think the kangaroo was a
reference to our very first indie record called Boomerang. Yes,
(27:17):
I think the driving Cars was in some way a
reference to the unbumped video back in the day. And
the little too deal was the number of children we
have between the three of us. Know, is that right? Yeah? Yeah?
In our family? Is that funny? One? Where does three?
I really have fifteen children? Yeah? Okay, plus the three
(27:41):
of us plus our three wives. That's ryan. I would
have never gotten that. Wow, what a bow. I gave
you the number fifteen a couple of weeks ago, and
another clue I gave you a couple of weeks ago
because I had to give new clues for Russian dolls
and I was struggling, and I just came up with
sushi because it wasn't Bob on Mercury Records. Yes, yes,
(28:03):
that's crazy. Yeah. Look, the guys already got me confused.
I'm doing ads tracking the square room numbers. I'm trying
to fick it out, and then you come with that one.
It's like a beautiful mind. It's confusing. I'm sometimes not
(28:25):
sure if the clues are there to help or to hurt. Man. Yeah,
and then what about the food delivery clue? We saw
the red jelly beans. Red jelly means for years we
loved red jelly beans. We would eat him in the studio,
and that got out, and then our fans started calling
themselves like there was a group of them that were
called the red jelly Beans and jelly Yeah, So that
(28:49):
was definitely that was something that for the really hardcore
fans might know. It's like Ronald Reagan loves jelly beans
and Anson oh yeah. And tonight's weird clue is because
didn't he direct one of your music videos? He's directed,
and he's been in a music video he's directed. And
then we've had an ongoing friendship since last twenty plus
years now. We have a song called Man from Milwaukee
(29:12):
that has been sort of a classic for us. It
inspired the title of our first album, Middle of Nowhere,
Got It. And then like there was the hat we
had twenty nine on the Bruno Mar's hat. Yes, that
was how long we've been a band. So we've been
a band years. I have never been sent by friends
so many winking emojis. I know you can't say, but
(29:35):
good job, queen, queen, I know what you did? Are
you talking about? You're like, no, no, that's a movie
with Jennifer. Yeah, yeah, it's it's like you stop blinking.
It's weird. I don't know what you're talking about. There's
something in your eye. Hey man, I'm I'm not gonna
say I know, but that was good yesterday last night.
(29:57):
I'm like, what what are you talking about? It's true,
we can't say nothing. It's that top secret. I'm surprised
that they have. You guys are your own trailers. I'm like,
separating now as brothers and band makes you guys know
each other pretty well. So a little boy and play
a game I like to call Darling the family. And
this is how it goes gonn to test out just
(30:18):
how well you guys really know each other. I'm gonna
pose a bunch of MS five related scenarios and you
have to tell us which one of you fits your
best all right, this is gonna be hilarious. I'm just
letting everybody go like that, Here we go, which one
of you would be a MS five celebrity panelist. I
(30:40):
think Isaac would enjoy actually to keep I mean, I
think we would all enjoy it. It's a great environment.
But I feel like the ability to just drive Zack
would be the funniest judge problem. Yes, but oh that's
a different thing, like funny looking you know? All right,
well you know your mama? What's what of you would post?
(31:07):
Ms bout I think Taylor would host Okay, Tyler, that
sounds about right, and he'd like all the outfits. Well,
I mean, I'm the most talkative problem. I think Isaac
would hate reading que cards, so that's a no for him.
I'm gonna say no the hosting Isaac on the fail
on the que cards. Who's most likely to skip rehearsal
(31:28):
out of you three? That's what I would have done? Well,
I feel like it's me rehearsal every day. It's like
it's just it's a minute long. Come on, how many
times we're gonna do this thing? Who is the one
that's like, yo, we need to rehearse some more? That's
(31:48):
definitely Taylor. Absolutely, yeah, Taylor. I would want more rehearsal,
but probably also show up. I'm prepared because I know
that I think we go, man, we need a rehearsal.
We're screwed, but it'd be more of an outburst than
it would be an actual call for rehearsal. Teamwork makes
(32:10):
the dreamwork, guys, Hey, it definitely does. Speaking of teamwork,
I cannot let you guys go without asking you. How
did you guys come up with the song choices? Yeah?
I think the hardest thing about the songs was we've
been a band for a long time and we love
to play covers, and you weren't allowed to play anything
(32:30):
that people might have heard you sing before. Correct. So
there's a whole list of songs that we all would
have loved to play, but we've been playing them on
stage for years, so that made it really difficult. Like
cold on Him coming by Sam and Dave would be great,
Like h one that it's like, wait, no, we did
(32:51):
that one I read. We couldn't do any of that.
Begs we want to do too much Heaven by the Bags.
I gotta give you guys. You guys digit things, and
Brian knows, this's my pick. I said it was gonna
be between you guys in Black Swan. I said, there's
gonna be a head to head battle, and Pigley I
said it's gonna be a head to head battle. I
think people right now on Twitter are very very upset.
(33:13):
Oh yeah, yeah, def controversial. They were not ready to
see them go. In some sense, I think we couldn't win,
you know, it would have seemed rigged, like like the
group come on, wins over the solo artists. Yeah, exactly,
you know, that's what we tell ourselves. Out of all
the crazy guests, there were so many names, Patonics, cast
(33:36):
of Blee. What was the craziest one you heard? What
was the one? Like? Really guys Nickelback for sure. Yeah,
I feel like Bill Devote was not. At one point
I heard Wilson Phillips. I was like, really, Phips, Yeah,
I mean that's kind of like, well, there's clearly a
there's clearly a male voice in here. I mean, come on,
(33:59):
never mind, it was Wilson Phillips. And yeah, the one
that was the most flattered body was the reference to
the Jackson's I just thought, okay, come on, we can
take that fact. And that was the Indiana reference exactly,
but going that dude, Indie, Yeah, that did it and
threw us off with that one, and that's when the
Jackson five guests to start rolling in right there. And
I know you guys are busy touring. The world is
(34:21):
opening up, finally some of the money. It's time to
get back on the road. Time to pack up the luggage,
calling underneath the tour bus and hit the highway. So, guys,
I gotta let you guys know, man, like I said,
you were my pick. I gotta thank you guys for
sliding through. I appreciate you guys for taking the time
out of your busy schedule to check in with us

and that's why it bros. And I was like, are
you sure? It's how pentatonic? You know what about the
clicker from the start calling? And the guys explained it.
They said, when you come out singing and were sounding
that good, and how many bands, brother were there were
just three minutes. I mean, who sing like this? It's
(35:25):
just handsome. You just gotta think. And that's kind of
where my clue and my brave started working towards and
that's what gave me my answer man. But it was
Slod that was dope and having him on the show.

(00:45):
like a rap right there. I was released that really

say something that's like really really fly. That's called up far.
That's just you know, little hip hop for what was?
Of course you know this, boys, it's your boy bat
A k A. The frog in here with me is
my main man, my brother. That's right. This is Mike Brow,
(01:06):
my main man. Brian Strickling is always in the building rock.
He is our official MS five secret inside for a
long box. That's what I'd like to say. This is
my guy here, Brian was going on. I can fill that,
but I'm giving fist for the Feisty five. Feisty five Indeed,
it went down tonight. Welcome to the Mass Singer quarter Finals.
(01:32):
Get one step closer to holding the Golden Mask trophy.
Shout the nick if, but not the shoes shining. It's
the outfit that shining. But speaking of tonight's show, in
a few minutes, it will be don hands on deck
because hands and that's right. Ak the Russian dogs out
in the building. We open it up and get the
Russian dogs out here. We're gonna be giving a squirrel
(01:54):
alert at the spoiler. That means more clues, more answers.
So let's go ahead and talk about it. Feisty five
and with them tonight in a major way. And right
off the bat, I was entertained, Nicole, you awake over there,
I'm done. Oh, these names are coming to me and
my dreams. Guys. Okay, so I might not have the
(02:15):
Golden Year, but I have got the Golden pillow and
I am determined to get the final five front. Nicobray
has a golden Yes, she says things are coming to
her and her dream sleeping on the job, sleeping on
the job literally. And also we got to talk about
our guest panelists, one of my favorite guys in the business.
(02:36):
So fixing out the Rob ribble Man. You definitely did
your thing tonight. And he who didn't run out on
the state didn't turn off the lights. Not too bad.
But he's gonna make up for next week. Oh, listen
listening WHODU didn't do anything tonight? Definitely be prepared for
him to act YEA come next week. Yes, I know
(02:56):
William because he's very cocky. Next week maybe the big
reveal of theod Oh Man, you don't have to text
me three am the list of names anymore. Okay, I
think I'll speak for the whole one time mass singer universe.
I think this is like the world person which is
ready to get out. I'm just ready to know who
that is. Just un MASKU and online and read it.
(03:16):
They're convinced it's one of three people Jamie FOXX, Joe McHale,
Wayne Brady. Those seem to be the top three, and
I'm gonna tell you right now, none of those are right.
And I figured that maybe this person doesn't sing, doesn't
want to wrap them nothing, and he's just disrupt him
and we hired him to be exactly what he wanted
to be, being that disruptive, So I can't wait to see.
(03:37):
I'm excited. Thanks Sammis Pa for giving a podcast a
shout out tonight's episode Real World TV. Oh Man, bigger
than big. I could say it now, Mama, I made it.
I could saying proud, Mama made it many they've cut
half a filing song to make Peo promote our podcast.
(03:59):
That's a goof oh Man, get shut out into Fox
MS five cakes, the studios. You gotta know the rundown.
Thank you guys so much, into the fans, to the people,
you guys keeping us alive, and you guys just keep
on tuning in and we appreciate it. Also heart for sure,
thank you guys so much for that big that we need.
We need billboards. But if I don't, yeah, in fact,
(04:25):
But right now, let's go ahead and dive into the
show and tackle some of these clues that we've seen tonight.
Let's go ahead and start up with black Swan. That
performance was incredible, the song that she performed tonight, thinking
out loud, I can't believe that the Russian dolls are
out there no more. It's that gonna only mean one thing.
Black Swan is going to the finals. That's just what
(04:46):
it is. You're calling it now clue package, career disappointments,
and they're afraid to take risks, resolution to say yes
to things that scare her. In her voice, we get
to start there before you dive into the Clues brand.
It's the voice for me because I heard this voice
and weeks ago I made a guest and I said,
I think black Swan is Joe right, Jojo gives off
(05:07):
pop singer vibes. She can definitely trick you a lot
of soul. Is to the point to where tonight's episode,
during her performance, I literally walked out the room just
to hear the voice. Whoever black Swan is when they unmasked,
I know who this is. Nicole said Jojo last week,
and Robin talked her out of it because he's convinced
not jo Joe. They both worked with her before tonight
and mentioned Dualipa, and then Robin said Normani because the
(05:30):
big clue tonight with Share right, So Share leads to
Normani because Normandy dresses her for Halloween. Dulippa needs to
Share because Dualipa famously wore the Share naked dress during
a performance in Paris. A couple other names that were
mentioned based on the share, but this didn't make the
Addit was Christina Aguilera and Julianne Hoff because they were
(05:50):
both in burlesque with share. And I'm gonna tell you
that when black Swan gets to sing it you hear
a little soul in there. Christina Aguilera has dead boy. Listen,
I've been on the stage with Ristina Aguilera before, where
before to brown? Let me take something right now? WHOA
can't go there? I just know singing and I know singers,
and it's just that soulful thing. Christin Aguilera is not
(06:11):
that bad of a guest. And then also the feminale
clue she was on Oprah recently got a major recognition,
and I know I said that my guests is seamanted.
What I'm gonna do after this show, I'm gonna get
on my worldwide web to see if Joe Joe ever appeared,
and if she has, it's Joe. That's just it's it.
(06:33):
It's a lot, It's a lot, all right, That is it? Now?
The new clues we saw, we saw four Black Rings,
we saw Global to desk, magnifying glass, and here we
go again. We love cash and we love change. Because
we have another Nickel and a penny on a desk.
He's doing some tough clues. Yeah, alright, Well, moving on,
we got Piglet, who is another finalist favorite who I
believe will be there when it's all said and done.
(06:55):
That's just what I believe. Got down to night, switched
it up, did a little Stevie wonderful, shut it down.
They shut it down. Pig lit. Yeah, that opened was
like something out of Josh Robin, like he started see yeah,
(07:26):
you know, I thought he was going to kick this
thing off acapella. I thought he was about to sing acapella.
The whole time. I said this is about to be different.
Because I cut the commercial you just to see the
fans like, oh face, I'm like, oh man, what did
Pigley do? Oh no. But it was the reaction of
how he started that blew people the way blew me
Away started off with a little bit of opera. Nick
said that the pig was lit, which I definitely agree.
(07:47):
The pig was lit. Pig lift. Is that all you're
gonna say, pig lamp? The big clue was Bruce Willis
absolutely that's what lad Jenny to justin Timber because and
they were in that movie Alpha Dog together, correct, and
then Ken mentioned there was a Bruce Willis action movie.
Ken was convinced it's an action star, which is why
(08:08):
he went with Hawkeye Jeremy Renner from The Avengers. Then
Robin mentioned Nick Lasha, Hello made that guess you made
that guests a couple of weeks ago. See this face? Yea.
That means I'm standing my ground today, Brian, We're almost that.
I'm cutting it off right now. I believe that this
is Nicholas And can I tell you why? Brian, It's
about the family mentioned the nineties, but group was hot
(08:31):
in the nineties and sing Backstreet Boys, don't be afraid
bb Mac? Who else get a little hot in here? Oh?
Is it? Is it like? Oh? It's like yeah, it's
like that type of hot. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that
type of hot. That's what I'm saying. Brian. Piglet mentioned nineties.
(08:53):
That could be a double entime to that double meaning
that could be nineties for nine degrees. That could mean
we dominated the n nineties, right, this is what stamped
in Picklet minched his high profile relationships. Well, yeah, he's
at that, and that's what sealed the deal, nothing needs
to be said. I think that the further you go
(09:15):
on the show, the clues become not clues anymore. They
become like basically just giving it up, you know what
I mean? Almost there, And that did it for me.
Those two clues what I was looking for. Yes, I
was waiting to hear something referenced to heat or heat
wave or you know, summertime it was hot, or just
something to go along with ninety degrees. But when he
said the nineties and then mentioned all my high profile relationships,
(09:37):
so he had a reality show years ago with high
profile relationships, but in them we've seen them all. I
just think it's Nick. Let's say I'm rolling with my
man on this one all the way. I'm gonna give
you a couple of names that didn't make the edit tonight,
Rob Rigglesoe for grace because of the nineties, that seventies
shodowing to get it. And then Jenny in addition to
justin Timberlande. She said Nick jonas a different name because
(09:59):
he is an action He was in Jaman during I
don't know where the Necklace action movie, and that is
to throw off You're absolutely right, but can I act
you this. I never knew that the Jonah's brothers were
hot in the nineties. You see what I'm going with this.
You gotta be good with that one. I've better good
a lie to you. You got you got me with
that one? All right? Move with on man Jetti. Song
(10:21):
he performed tonight, Blessed the Broken Road, definitely a different
song for him. He might be the Abominable Snowman, but
he made my heart melt. It was really beautiful because
you stripped it all back and it was very sincere.
Thank you jealous. I was actually happy to see Yettie
step out the box and show the vocal range. I
(10:41):
think this is one of those type of records that
vocal heavy, and we saw him sitting by a campfire.
Nicole said. He tries to show a new side to
himself with every performance, which I definitely get and filled.
Even with this one tonight, he stepped it up. I
believe he's not afraid to try the things, and I
believe Yeddie is comfortable with going and stepping out of
the box and think that's what's important. And I think
that's why he continues to move along in the competition
(11:04):
is because of that. A week before he brings up
the skates. Last week's Dancing Crazy, he brought up the
moves for us this time. He's always trying new stuff,
and that's what's important on this show is everyone giving
people something different, some growth, versatility. Absolutely his first chance
to ever sing a country record, which is something I
found out tonight. That was big. And also the super
(11:25):
fan clue which led me to believe, I know who
this person is was my main man? Did he a
k A. Sean Puffy Love now changed his name Sean
Love Colmbs. Did you know that, Brian he legally did?
He legally changed his name Sean Love Colmbs. Now that's great. Yeah,
(11:46):
I'm changing my name the frog Shoan Frog Moss. He's
got the same middle name as Jennifer Love. And they
also said lucky to have work with Diddy, which a
lot of people don't get a chance to do that,
and Famine clue quite droop with threat, so that sided.
He stepped up with the mass singer legend. I was
trying to break that one down. The new clues. We
saw that snowball that said wild card, and I believe
(12:07):
that all of these clues lead to one person, and
that would be my good friend of Marion Marion Grandberry
a k a. Marion formally lead singer from the group
B two K. My guy, don't have to talk about
it every single week. We talked about Yetti. But I
think you guys get the picture the super clue when
he references Diddy and he says that I was glad
that I worked with him. There's a record called Bump
Bump Bump, which was a number one record, featured big
(12:30):
record for the group. So all the signs from weeks
ago when we first saw Yettie, it's all going down
the Marion Highway. Jenny said, Neo, Robin said, Channing Tatum
and the step off. Ken said twister. Wait stop, I'm
glad we got to this part now, Brian. When Ken
(12:50):
said twister, Twister, you say twister? You know twister? Yo
almost fell off out. And the reason why I say
that is because when I was on the show, they
kept on Marian's name all through the show this season.
(13:11):
Now that he's finally here or I think that this
is Yettie, no one says this is this is ridiculous.
And then Nicole her guesses mysteriously didn't make this episode,
but a little bts. She said, three people sure, Chris Brown,
Mario right right right. A lot of people online are
(13:32):
thinking it's Marcus Houston. What do you think about bad guys? Now?
I say this Marcus Houston being that I believe in
a lot of others do believe this, That it is
a marian. Marcus Houston wouldn't be a far off guest
because when B two K started out, Marcus and B
two K, they all were on the same label. It
was like family and they came up together. So the
Marcus Houston guest is not far off. It's not it.
(13:54):
That's all. Moving on to a million song, he did
drop it like it's hot. Oh and the Lizard attitude,
Oh gosh, that was like MTV music Awar performance right there.
That was crazy. Let's go ahead and talk about a million.
(14:15):
Jenny and Robins said, every week he's so great. Started
this journey for funds so his family would get a
kick out of it, even with a theater background, which
is something I definitely did not know. He has never
done a show like this. Super fan clue Jackie Chan
and he has loved him ever since. Living in Asia.
I never knew that Chameleon lived in Asia and the
(14:35):
Famil clue friend of Martha Stewart, which I believe, I
know how and saw him play Madison Square guarding all
roads lead to Wis Khalifa friends of Martha store That
could throw you off if you don't know, because Snoop
does have a show with Martha cooking with Martha Snoop.
But you have to understand, you got to dig a
little deeper. If Wiz Khalifa is close with Snoop Dogg
(15:00):
and they are very close, don't you think Martha's over
Snoop's house could kind of zs it over and that's
how he connected his relationship with Steward. I believe. So
that's inside information, see Brian, even you didn't have that
inside it, I did not. I wanted. I liked the
idea with Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart in the kitchen together, hilarious. Hilarious.
Nicole mentioned course Snoop Dogg, Rob and Blake Griffin and
(15:23):
then Jenny and Robbin's guesses didn't make the episode. Robin
said lamar odom and Jenny said machine Gun. Kelly. Jenny
is sticking with mg K. She is convinced this is
machine gun Kelly and some people online agree with her.
But once again, you gotta just look at the clues, man,
all the details I've been given throughout the weeks, the
black and yellow references, little cam who were doing it
(15:43):
for a million, it all just aligns up to that.
The song going Diamond, the reference to the jewel, that,
all of that stuff that we've seen in the m
m A stuff I said. He stays in shave. If
you follow with Cleeveland Instagram, you'll see that this is
all he does. He goes to the gym almost every
day to train for m m A. Not that he's
gonna fight, but he trained just to get in shape.
It's good exercise. And I'm gonna stand on that. You know.
(16:04):
Snoop found me. That's my uncle. So of course, more
more insider information. How am I giving out the inside
information about to say you're the one you should have
my job? Man? No, you're doing well, Brian. I'm on
the other side of the of the mic. O, thank you,
thank you. You're right there. Man. No, that's what you're doing.
I found a guess on this. I believe it is
(16:25):
with Khalifa. That's just my guess. Alright, moving on last
but not least clue Dole, do you her dumb dumbs
cludd I just had to stick my beacon and tell
you that you're so far off of your yet he guesses. Ah,
(16:45):
he said he'll be back one more time next week
before before he reveals just true how he talks. You
just thought of something? What if you're clutle? Do? I
mean I could because they don't see my face. I
could be. I might be, but I'm too busy in
the studio. But you doing the podcast. I don't see
(17:07):
any feathers. Yeah, there's no feathers line around feathers, but
really not much to say this we're gonna who to do?
Is the fact that he came in during Yeti's performance.
I thought he was getting ready to do something crazy.
He was just alerting us, letting us know, Hey, we
almost done the finish line, this close to taking his
head off and showing you guys who I am. I'm
gonna say that. So we got two episodes left. I
know who it is and I've never and I've never
(17:29):
said this. I'm making a guest live right now. Yeah,
I know you're giving me face right now with such conviction.
What are you gonna say. The reason why I'm gonna
say this celebrity is because this celebrity has a movie
coming out. And I think that we've seen Little Wayne
appear on the Mass Singer week he dropped his new album. Yeah,
and this is a number one show in the country. Yeah,
(17:49):
you want that look, you come to Fox and you
come to Mass Singer if you want the look right,
absolute exposure, exposure. Oh man, everyone gets bless when you
leave MS five stage. Everyone won a super Bowl ring me.
I was back toeing Arenas again, Brian, you touched him
Miss five stage. You just get blessed. Something special about
that stage. And with that being said, being met, this
(18:12):
person it's not singing, can't sing, has a movie coming
out with Samuel Jackson. I'm breaking this thing now. I
think it's Chris Rock. I don't know why. Chris Rock.
That's a good guy. I will say this about glut
O Joe. I've mentioned this before. This person has never
been on the Mass Singer stage. Did you say he
was in an Academy wear winning mood like this person
(18:33):
was in an Oscar nominated Best Pictures Chris Rock every
don't so that's gonna do it? That killed my confidence
right there. That didn't happy I was, and it just
died on me. It just shot out my brain. It's
just all downhill from there. That's my guessing there. I
just do it out there, made him thinking too hard.
(18:53):
I like Chris Rock, I have a question for you,
since you're so good a predictions. So we get one
more unmasking and then we have our top three. It's
gonna make the mass singer top three. Oh, that's easy.
Piglet black Swan. I think Chamillion's gonna make it to
the fun I think it's gonna be Chamellion, Piglet black Swan.
Nobody cares about my favorite, but I have to be honest,
cha Million Chamellion is my favorite. Yeah, he gives off
(19:15):
frog vibes, but just more and more cooler, more laid back.
But I definitely feel that frog vibe. That's my Guy's
a Chamelion man, definitely. Oh, I hot guest. We got
a hot guest coming. Guest three three. I thought it
was eight. I saw eight cars. Runner. The way they
keep on, I don't know what's going on. Tonight's guests
(19:39):
kept us guessing who and how many Russian dolls there
really were all season, Brian, you know I've been dying
to talk to the Russian Dolls. Listen. They were my pick.
They were your fro runner. I told you, I said
finals nothing. Yeah, I said, it's gonna be hard to
be because come out, there's one of them, all right.
Next next week is two. They didn't multiplied. The four.
(20:00):
Just gonna be tough to beat three people that can
just sing that well. I said, it's not gonna happen.
But we're done with the guests, and we know who
they are. They've been making music together for nearly thirty years, okay,
and they harmonize their way into the Mass Singer history
as the first band to ever appear on our stage.
He's welcome to the podcast. The Doll Star line up
(20:21):
of brothers, and I'm talking about these three guys right here, Isaac,
Taylor and Zach I got handsome in the building. A
k to Russell Doll. What's going on? Thanks so much.
It's good enough for us that we were your number one.
(20:41):
I called you guys, the Brooklyn Nets of the Mass Singer.
That's like last week. I said, I think they're throwing
us off. I think it's just two of them, and
now that we know it's you guys. Was that a
part of the strategy that you guys came in way, okay,
let's throw them off, we'll do four dolls, we'll switch
to three. Was that all a part of the plan.
It was. It was definitely part of the strategy for sure.
So the show was obviously built around single contestants and
(21:04):
the idea that we could then kind of play with
everybody's mind a little bit and see if they could
keep people on their toes. I mean we we kind
of thought it was unfair to be and I was
just one I'd be like, what it's going on with
that over the fact it's a super up beeat show.
I mean, it's a competition, but it's not a cutthroat situation.
It's very much about this the spectacle and the costumes
(21:27):
and and we were having fun with it. I think
the other thing you have to remember is it's a competition,
but it's also a game. And we knew as soon
as it was there's three singers that there aren't that
many options and they're going to end up on hands
pretty quick. For us, the greatest thing about this show
is the fact that we got to go on and sing,
writing songs, performing songs, and to be able to just
(21:49):
zero in on that. It seemed really appealing. I for one,
really liked the fact that we are masked and the
secrecy plays well. I think to letting people are you
as a vocalist and as a performer without any kind
of preconceived notions. We didn't know it included spend index
that was like, okay, we're in. Yes, that did it?
(22:12):
Saw the ward. I've got to ask you this. We
have something that commonly been on the stage pretty much
a whole entire lives. Man, there's been certain shows you
get too and you might be a little nervous, But
I gotta ask you, was it difficult this time around
performing with each other being at We never do this
in costume, especially not a Russian dollf costle where now?
(22:32):
So yeah, not able to see anything. I think it's
probably the biggest challenge. You can't see each other, you
can't see the judges half the time. It definitely was
a new kind of challenge. There were definitely some nervous
because you really are sort of trying not to fall over.
But what you're really thinking about is I'm like, go left,
If I go left three steps, is that off the stage?
Because I'm pretty sure stage there are a few close
(22:57):
calls where people came right to the edge and part
of the costume staff running up to stop someone from
calling us. The only thing I will say for me
was I'm just glad that there wasn't too much choreography,
because the amount of choreography who did was about the
max I could possibly pull off. You've tried very hard
to avoid choreography our whole career. That's why you get
(23:19):
a guitar, you get some drums, you get some keywords. Hey,
we gotta stay right here, guys, this is our spot. Well,
but see, we're just talking about the coordinated parts. See,
I have a hard time walking and chewing gum with
the same So then we're doing a little back and forth.
I never mind talking and thinking. What I want to
know is this when it was just two of you
guys on the stage, and you know, to everyone at
(23:40):
home and if you watch the show, it's okay, there's
just two Russian dolls singing. We're all three of you
guys singing at the same time, even though it was
only two. That's stage magic. We're just gonna call it.
All three of us were always on stage. You know,
we made a conscious effort to make it sound like
as many voices as possible. So you'd hear moments where
two guys were singing in the same part, and so
you almost making a third voice by having two people
(24:02):
sing at the same time on the same notes. We
traded off a lot, Yeah, arranging the songs where you
trade off a lot. So here's a few lines from
one voice, here's a few lines from another voice, and
then there's definitely using range was definitely something we tried
to do. So I can sing pretty high, trying to
sing as high as you can to kind of keep
that is that a girl's voice? You guys don't normally
sing that high, you know kind of thing, so, you know,
(24:25):
just having fun with it. I mean, we were trying
to throw everything we could to keep people off the
trail exactly. You did a great job because Jenny and
Nicole after every episode was like, I think I heard
a female voice. I'm not sure, like you really through
the panel for many many weeks. Can I say that
that was a good and a bad thing? Right? In
one sense, you're like and sense You're like, they think
(24:46):
I'm a girl. I had no idea that two was
in one Russian doll outfit. Then there will just be one. Yeah,
it was interesting. Well, so let's talk about putting on
plat forms. Talk about that. I had the clever suggestion
of you have a piano, we need to play the piano.
(25:06):
So on that one bending over trying to play the
piano and trying to sort of kind of hit the
keys while in platforms. That was advised. He almost fainted
when he came up. I think the whole experience, it
is a lot of work. And as a performer, I mean,
we have all been performing most of our lives. So
there's a switch that goes off with Hey, you're projecting
(25:28):
or communicating. So to communicate with the audience or with
the judges through a foam doll costume, you started being like, man,
what can I do with my hand? Because I can't
do anything about this? What can I do with my voice?
You know what I do with my legs? And we
had very limited range of motion in those dolls. We
do know that we have another backup career Disney World.
(25:48):
Now we can do those moves. We can do when
you heard it there were wild car performance coming in.
Did that shake you guys up a little bit? I
think we were confident, but we never treated anything like
we got this right, right right. All you gotta do
is not the last Exactly just after the snail and off,
(26:11):
he was like, I'm good. Yeah, I know for a fact.
You know when it comes to to this show, the fans,
the clues, I'm the most clueless person. This is when
I get like my kin on you know what I mean.
What I mean by that is, you know, kid is
only throwing out the wildest guess is on the show.
I didn't even understand my own clue package and it
(26:31):
was about me. So I need you guys to help
me dissect some of these clues. And the number one clue,
the mind reader clue, it was a kangaroo. Of course,
everyone's thinking Australia. Who could it be? Is it an
Australian group? We saw a pop art self portrait driving cars.
What really confused me was clue to do said number
of squares was a clue three times seven equals twenty one.
(26:55):
There were just so many clues made in Milwaukee. Are
they from Aussie? Are they from Milwauk. I'm totally confused. Police,
it would all make sense to me, Go ahead, break
it down. We were all kind of going, wait, that's
a pretty deep cut. I think the kangaroo was a
reference to our very first indie record called Boomerang. Yes,
(27:17):
I think the driving Cars was in some way a
reference to the unbumped video back in the day. And
the little too deal was the number of children we
have between the three of us. Know, is that right? Yeah? Yeah?
In our family? Is that funny? One? Where does three?
I really have fifteen children? Yeah? Okay, plus the three
(27:41):
of us plus our three wives. That's ryan. I would
have never gotten that. Wow, what a bow. I gave
you the number fifteen a couple of weeks ago, and
another clue I gave you a couple of weeks ago
because I had to give new clues for Russian dolls
and I was struggling, and I just came up with
sushi because it wasn't Bob on Mercury Records. Yes, yes,
(28:03):
that's crazy. Yeah. Look, the guys already got me confused.
I'm doing ads tracking the square room numbers. I'm trying
to fick it out, and then you come with that one.
It's like a beautiful mind. It's confusing. I'm sometimes not
(28:25):
sure if the clues are there to help or to hurt. Man. Yeah,
and then what about the food delivery clue? We saw
the red jelly beans. Red jelly means for years we
loved red jelly beans. We would eat him in the studio,
and that got out, and then our fans started calling
themselves like there was a group of them that were
called the red jelly Beans and jelly Yeah, So that
(28:49):
was definitely that was something that for the really hardcore
fans might know. It's like Ronald Reagan loves jelly beans
and Anson oh yeah. And tonight's weird clue is because
didn't he direct one of your music videos? He's directed,
and he's been in a music video he's directed. And
then we've had an ongoing friendship since last twenty plus
years now. We have a song called Man from Milwaukee
(29:12):
that has been sort of a classic for us. It
inspired the title of our first album, Middle of Nowhere,
Got It. And then like there was the hat we
had twenty nine on the Bruno Mar's hat. Yes, that
was how long we've been a band. So we've been
a band years. I have never been sent by friends
so many winking emojis. I know you can't say, but
(29:35):
good job, queen, queen, I know what you did? Are
you talking about? You're like, no, no, that's a movie
with Jennifer. Yeah, yeah, it's it's like you stop blinking.
It's weird. I don't know what you're talking about. There's
something in your eye. Hey man, I'm I'm not gonna
say I know, but that was good yesterday last night.
(29:57):
I'm like, what what are you talking about? It's true,
we can't say nothing. It's that top secret. I'm surprised
that they have. You guys are your own trailers. I'm like,
separating now as brothers and band makes you guys know
each other pretty well. So a little boy and play
a game I like to call Darling the family. And
this is how it goes gonn to test out just
(30:18):
how well you guys really know each other. I'm gonna
pose a bunch of MS five related scenarios and you
have to tell us which one of you fits your
best all right, this is gonna be hilarious. I'm just
letting everybody go like that, Here we go, which one
of you would be a MS five celebrity panelist. I
(30:40):
think Isaac would enjoy actually to keep I mean, I
think we would all enjoy it. It's a great environment.
But I feel like the ability to just drive Zack
would be the funniest judge problem. Yes, but oh that's
a different thing, like funny looking you know? All right,
well you know your mama? What's what of you would post?
(31:07):
Ms bout I think Taylor would host Okay, Tyler, that
sounds about right, and he'd like all the outfits. Well,
I mean, I'm the most talkative problem. I think Isaac
would hate reading que cards, so that's a no for him.
I'm gonna say no the hosting Isaac on the fail
on the que cards. Who's most likely to skip rehearsal
(31:28):
out of you three? That's what I would have done? Well,
I feel like it's me rehearsal every day. It's like
it's just it's a minute long. Come on, how many
times we're gonna do this thing? Who is the one
that's like, yo, we need to rehearse some more? That's
(31:48):
definitely Taylor. Absolutely, yeah, Taylor. I would want more rehearsal,
but probably also show up. I'm prepared because I know
that I think we go, man, we need a rehearsal.
We're screwed, but it'd be more of an outburst than
it would be an actual call for rehearsal. Teamwork makes
(32:10):
the dreamwork, guys, Hey, it definitely does. Speaking of teamwork,
I cannot let you guys go without asking you. How
did you guys come up with the song choices? Yeah?
I think the hardest thing about the songs was we've
been a band for a long time and we love
to play covers, and you weren't allowed to play anything
(32:30):
that people might have heard you sing before. Correct. So
there's a whole list of songs that we all would
have loved to play, but we've been playing them on
stage for years, so that made it really difficult. Like
cold on Him coming by Sam and Dave would be great,
Like h one that it's like, wait, no, we did
(32:51):
that one I read. We couldn't do any of that.
Begs we want to do too much Heaven by the Bags.
I gotta give you guys. You guys digit things, and
Brian knows, this's my pick. I said it was gonna
be between you guys in Black Swan. I said, there's
gonna be a head to head battle, and Pigley I
said it's gonna be a head to head battle. I
think people right now on Twitter are very very upset.
(33:13):
Oh yeah, yeah, def controversial. They were not ready to
see them go. In some sense, I think we couldn't win,
you know, it would have seemed rigged, like like the
group come on, wins over the solo artists. Yeah, exactly,
you know, that's what we tell ourselves. Out of all
the crazy guests, there were so many names, Patonics, cast
(33:36):
of Blee. What was the craziest one you heard? What
was the one? Like? Really guys Nickelback for sure. Yeah,
I feel like Bill Devote was not. At one point
I heard Wilson Phillips. I was like, really, Phips, Yeah,
I mean that's kind of like, well, there's clearly a
there's clearly a male voice in here. I mean, come on,
(33:59):
never mind, it was Wilson Phillips. And yeah, the one
that was the most flattered body was the reference to
the Jackson's I just thought, okay, come on, we can
take that fact. And that was the Indiana reference exactly,
but going that dude, Indie, Yeah, that did it and
threw us off with that one, and that's when the
Jackson five guests to start rolling in right there. And
I know you guys are busy touring. The world is
(34:21):
opening up, finally some of the money. It's time to

clicker from the start calling? And the guys explained it.
They said, when you come out singing and were sounding
that good, and how many bands, brother were there were
just three minutes. I mean, who sing like this? It's
(35:25):
just handsome. You just gotta think. And that's kind of
where my clue and my brave started working towards and
that's what gave me my answer man. But it was
Slod that was dope and having him on the show.
Russian dogs have left the building. Oh man, Brian, we
