Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Live from the Mercedes Benz Interview Lounge.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Well, this is awkward interviewing people we've never met before. Hello, Hi, Hi,
oh you're listening to Uh yeah, thanks for telling you
appreciate it. Casey, that's Gandhi, thanks for coming in. Thanks
for being a part of What the hell this is?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Such good hair?
Speaker 4 (00:33):
I know.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Okay, let's start off first impressions. Good hair, Yes, let's
do it. Is that all that matters?
Speaker 3 (00:38):
A nice skin?
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Skin hair?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
All right, gentlemen, thanks for coming. Have a nice day.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
I'll take it if I could start my day with
a compliment and then just like, oh, that's that's how
everyone should start their day.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah, exactly. It rarely happens in this room, but experience it.
But y'all know each other.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
That's why we're contempt twenty seven years beating the living
crap out of each other. Yeah, you guys are like
this big marriage, you know, like, that's it's beautiful. You
guys probably see each other more than you see partners.
And it's a first marriage though, I mean, it's it's
a paid marriage. It's a contractual, paid marriage.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
A lot of money out of them if we get divorced.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I think, no, you get money while you're still with me.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
You know what, I want to stay here. You know
what love is at this level though, it's not like, hey,
you look great, I love that sweatshirt. It's like you
got something on your face. Get it off right right?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I just did a booger check for someone in this room.
I won't say it.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yes it was blue lenose, because you know we got
Paul and going on here in New York.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Yes, we do.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
And I'm like, I've got a blow my nose. We
have guests I've never met, and you did you check
for boogers? You do what they do, and we're gonna
get into the podcast. I swear to God, we don't
we don't have. This is what we do on our podcast.
I have found that the women of our show, like
Daniel and Gandhian specific they will hate can you sniff?
They'll sniff each other's under arms.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Absolutely got it.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Onions.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah, I'm like, what the hell are you doing.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Rubbing onions under their arms?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Everyone around here?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
So Casey Jo and Kevin Diviner here are you both
from Staten Island or.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Yeah, well, Kevin split his time in Brooklyn or you know,
the early part of the straight Cause. But but the
thing that I love about him is for a while
he was claiming Brooklyn and then he was like, I'm
gonna claim both because not a lot of Staten Islanders
who leave do that. And I give him a lot
of credit for that. He was like, no, I am also,
I'm from here. He literally has a song he sings
(02:33):
that lyric.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
But the Jos families originally from Staten Island. Oh j
Statenland before the gang Plank was built, before Brooklyn. Yeah, exactly.
I don't come for Italians like that, no, I know.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Yeah, we go back so far, Like my grandfather's grandfather
was born in Staten Island, so it's like it was
like Ireland in you know, several several generations ago and
then straight to Staten Island and then yeah, it's we've
just been here for so long.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
My husband family is the same thing. And then they
built that bridge and then it all went to hell. Yeah, anyway,
let's talk about the podcast. Yeah, Casey Jose and Kevin
Devine have a podcast called Give It a Chance, which
is now we welcome them with open arms into the Elvis,
the Elvis drin and what did we get into before wait,
(03:25):
before anyone talked about anything with anyone, I was familiar
with the concept of this podcast, which is brilliant. I
believe you now Give It a Chance. You take a
song and say, Okay, people hate this song, let's talk
about this song. It all started with Nickelback, No doubt, yep, Okay,
go go to episode one of Give It a Chance
(03:48):
with what it was how You Remind Me by Nickelback, which,
as you know, there's this weird hatred for Nickelback.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
It's weird thought.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
We're going to get to that because you gotta yeah, no,
I want to hear it fold her into your Okay.
So it started with that podcast. Well, yeah, you know.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
The idea is that, you know, I think I think
the world needs a little bit more positivity, and I
think we need to give things a chance. Things in
the past like so we're trying to find things that
we don't like for some some reason. And and you know,
these songs are famous songs, they're huge songs. Yeah right,
I mean saying that we don't like them, there's millions
and millions of people who have like bought streamed. This
(04:30):
is like, you know, right, so punching up. But what
we want to do, yeah, what we want to do
is take these songs that we haven't listened to in
a while, that people hate or we hate. Sometimes it's
a song that the world might not even know. Like
one of our episodes is a song that my mom
wanted to be the song that we danced to at
our wedding, not us now our wedding. Our wedding hasn't
happened yet. Yeah, but my friend, my wife and I
(04:51):
and and she picked this song by a band called
Rascal Flats that I've never heard her play or I've
ever played, and it was like the most on the
nose song. It's like it's the day of your wedding
and you dance with your mom. Like I couldn't believe it.
And I was like, okay, if my mom wants it.
And then like a month later, I was like, why'd
you pick that song? She was like, I don't know.
It was on a a website for best songs to dance,
(05:12):
so it would pick us. I would take a song
like that where I'm like, I don't like this song
and let's give it a chance. Let's look open, open
our ears up and find the positive attributes. Kevin is
a musician who is super funny. I mostly do comedy,
but I play a lot of music on the side.
We grew up playing in bands and stuff, so we
come at it with, you know, open minds, but also
(05:33):
a comedic edge and some music background, so we can
really break it apart and talk about the merits of it. Okay, So.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Episode one of Give It a Chance with Casey Jose
and Kevin wen Nickelba remind me huge hit by the
way knack that many hits, yet they are just doesn't
matter the song, it's them, they're not unlike So let's
go to Gandhi. Oh see, Like what crawled up your
butt that made you hate Nickelback so much? Is it
(06:05):
because everyone else hates them?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
No, it's because when they were popular, you could switch
to four different stations and that stupid song would be
on all of them. So I felt like they were harassing.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
We're the problem. We are the problem.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
There did that?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Also? I really don't like his delivery that made it.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Listen to the vocal.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
We call that puke voice radio when DJ's do it.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
So them get away with it. It's kind of true.
It is that guy who's just like right now, like
you're going down your commute, you're working. It's a growl
in a way.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
In the episode, Yeah, I don't want to give too
much away, but Kevin talks about this and I love it.
Like he's got the same delivery through the whole song,
where like if you took like a Kirk Cobaine who's
got like he's quiet he screams, yeah, yeah, he's all
that guy voice. He's kind of throwing up the whole time.
But you still have to give it a chance. That's right.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I think has sound and you know a Nickelback song
when you hear it, so there's.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
A positive nickel back to me is a go tea,
you know, because it's like not everyone loves a go tea.
It's inappropriate, but there's a there's a reason why people
do a go tea. It accentuates a face, you know,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
But I mean it like it's a go tea because
some people do a go tea, Like like all right,
guy Fiertti, right, he has a go tea and it
and it's sort of it shrinks this it looks good
on him.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
It works for It works for Guy, and I love Guy.
I give him a chance. Okay, okay, this brings up
a point I make. I mean, I think it's brilliant.
It's it's very as we say in the podcast world,
it's very narrow and deep. This it's about a song.
We should give it a chance. There's a thousand things
in people in life that we we harassed daily. Guy Fierti,
by the paint is definitely very polarizing, especially in the
(07:58):
culinary world.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
In the same way Nickelback is. He's actually like a
great analog exactly. And a couple of years ago, you know,
Diner's Drive Ins and Dives was on TV, and I
was like, at that time, I was like, yeah, this
guy Fieri, guy like I felt the way everyone feels like,
or not everyone, but the people who don't really know
I that's what I'm.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Saying on the back of his head, things like that.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
It's the hair. It's like this like thing like he
gets a bad rep. But then if you watch the show,
you're like, what a charismatic host, maybe one of the
best hosts of all times. You're gonna say, what a coward?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
No, do you know that we helped him get his show.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I believe it because he came up here.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
He was one of the.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Final contestants and we had to vote on the chicken
palm and we picked him and he got a show.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
But that day he did not wear that silk shirt
with the flames in the pilot You mean or here
here anyway?
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
So okay, So back to the music though, So okay,
it all started with Nickelback. Congratulations, that was your that
was that was your anchor song. So what other that
we've heard?
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Okay? Can you like you're trying to give a chance
to so a great one that I think a lot
of parents can relate to his Baby Shark.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Okay, please don't. We've got it.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
So this for the same. This is the same kind
of thing. It's it's a song that a lot of people,
it's overplayed. They you know, kids are addicted to it.
They want to hear it more and more.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
You have kids, yes, okay, So none of us are
really victims of that because your kids are too.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Baby way, hold on, Elvis, find something you like about it.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Go nothing. It reminds me of the one eight seven
seven Cars for a kid.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Yeah, it reminds me.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
By the way they're raising money for a great organization.
It's just that song makes me want to take a hostage.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Kids and building building out.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Oh yeah, you can sell everything. So you did an
entire podcast about baby Shark, yes, half hours long, a dissertation. Yeah,
uh yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
So there's songs like that that to me, actually that
was easy to find merit. I think it's it's an
it's an earworm, it's a bop, it's it's it's lit.
Uh he's going. But really it's like the musicality in it,
it's it's it's so addictive that you're like, this was
manufactured perfectly right, you know, And I give it a
lot of credit for that.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
That's not easy to do. But as a musician, as
a musician Kevin, yes, hello, hello baby Shark go.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Well, I mean also you got to meet something on
its own merits like that is perfect at what it
is trying to be, which is exactly just like a
sugar rush, a thing that like kids can hold on
to and repeat and remember. And for that, like if
I was to judge that the same wa I'm going
to judge like a Leonard Cohen song or something, and
that's like my own bias. That's my issue. Yeah, and
(10:53):
that's the only issue I have. Otherwise I'm perfectly fine.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Daniel as a mother, Yeah, you understand the need for
a baby show.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Of course, like the repetition part, it's teaching kids something,
it's fun, it's I also think it will bring parents
and their kids together. It's something they can listen to together.
So I see lots of positives too, and.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
That's the first step to world peace exactly. How about
you just turning this on Casey Jose and Kevin Devin
are here. They're a host of the podcast called Give
It a Chance. They take a song and they'd wait,
this song is being ripped to shreds. Let's listen in
and analyze it. Maybe we should give it.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Is there ever a.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Song that you guys have listened to that you tried
to give it a chance and you were like, yeah,
we just can't.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
There are definitely songs where we've had a harder time
with the chance. No chance bound give us a type
all right, So I think it's it's it's that no
Doubt song, which I love, No Doubt Hella good and
you're feeling Hella good, so and for me. It's a
(11:51):
fall from grace for them. Like I love the early
no Doubt stuff. They were this like sort of like
punk SKA, like with this incredible singer, the band rules,
like there's there's this drama with the bassist and her.
I love that whole story. And then you just give
me this sort of really cookie cutter track that has
no for me. It doesn't have a lot of soul,
and Kevin, you couldn't find anything redeeming it. But there's
(12:12):
something I don't think we found nothing redeeming. I can't
remember off the top of my head what it was,
but I think you found something that was redeeming. I
also feel like this is the opposite thing. This wants
to be met as a cool baby shark. I mean
this like wants to be met us something cool and interesting,
and it doesn't quite get there so that I can
judge viciously.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
You know, if I was really hot Gwen.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Gwenn has before this and after this put out massive hits,
right Like, I'm not worried about Gwenn because she but
she's also and and and Kevin brought this up on
the podcast Don't Come for Me. Gwenn Fans come on,
Kevin's like she was this icon that was like kind
of breaking the mold in a lot of ways, and
then she just jumped into someone else's mold.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
See I can hear Madonna.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Doing that, that's right, and a lot of other people.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Rihanna, I could see Rihanna doing it absolutely.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Okay, So let me give you a song we think
you should, all right, I love this. You should please
please find us online and give us songs. And maybe
you've done it already. It's called Christmas Shoe. Are you
familiar with the song? I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Okay, Well, Foy, he tells the story. We got to
just kind of give him a chance, okay, okay, and
I'll tell you why I hate instantly know it's a
Christmas song, So listen to him tell you the story.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Here we go.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
It was almost Christmas. There I stood in another trying
to buy that last gift to really in the Christmas.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Stand and ride in front of me, little boy waiting anxiously.
Got a little boy.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Boy Jes hands Paris shoes.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Okay, listen closely, and it's close moon and all.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
He was dirty from me to tide. The tray cames
t I couldn't believe what I heard him.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Say, Sir, I want to buy the shoes for my mama.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Plea.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just he sud
here we come. Could you hurry, sir?
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Daddy says, there's not much time.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
You see, she's been sick for quiet a while. By
shoes for me. A smile and one or two the
beautiful if momb met Jeesus. All right, let's bring a right.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Can we can?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
We slowly unpacked this bag. Okay, that's It's fantastic.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
This guy's been hurry to get home to his family,
but there's a little kid that's dirty head to toe
in from him, and he doesn't have money for the
shoes he needs to get for his mom because Jesus said, yeah,
see you soon. Okay, wow, okay. So every time we
every Christmas season we play this and I rip this
thing just raging. People think I'm satan. I'm like, whatever,
(15:32):
go ahead, Christmas shoes my.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
First, my first. We could call it a chancey. The
first thing that I like about it is I've never
heard anything like it. But I've never heard a story
like quite told like that. It's channeling this John Cougar,
Mellen Camp, Bruce Springsteen thing, but definitely not either of
those with a John Tesh producer with those people text crime.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
This text is great, this text emotional manipulation is not
what Jesus wanted for us. Back to you, No, yeah,
it's it never feels like it reaches a chorus.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
No. What I would say is also musically, key change
straight out of the verse to the chorus is an
interesting choice. I give them points for I love a
key change. Yeah, and they did it. Usually I had
to wait like two and a half minutes for the
key change. They go right and they just want to
punch it in. I do have a question lyrically though,
in the chorus when it says that you know the
first of all, it's just her size that makes it
(16:37):
sound like she has like a really weirdly like sized
foot or something. I don't know. This one shoe is
just her size. I've been looking forever.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Keep in mind shoes on the sales right, they don't
have many sizes left. I'm assuming.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Also, he was a little kid, so he might have
been able to see the sizes. His eyes are caken dirt.
I pulled if I pulled one hundred children. They wouldn't
know their parents' shoes, says one million, one million, six
billion children. We know the great questions the last but
the last line about if they meet Jesus tonight. Right,
(17:10):
that's the last. Daddy said she may meet Jesus tonight.
So we gotta get the Jesus was born on Christmas.
I'm hoping he's born before she dies, because otherwise she's
not going to meet him. He's not around.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
I don't think this was done.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
I've known about this song for a long time, Okay, years,
I'll be honest, Like, if human beings are going to
keep writing songs like this, let's just let the AI
do it. Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
No, but the name of your Feels, the name of
your podcast is give it a chance, Kevin. I'm not
seeing many chances given here.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
I'll say this. Almost every episode will say whoops, if
we forgot to give it a chance, okay, and then
we will give it a chance to get No, there's
definitely you know, there's there's there's from this. I like that.
I like the dichotomy between like this, like real clean
music and I've got a voice like this. Right, It's
like I'm I'm like, I'm an everyman, even though my
music is angelic. You know. Also, there's something to be
(18:06):
said for the fact linear storytelling is a dying art,
and that thing really lays out the groundwork.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Well he did, I mean he had all the work
for me. He could have said once upon a time
and began this page one to page ten finale thing. Look,
I think you should add this maybe. Well on a
week you can't find a song, Christmas Shoes is waiting
for you. If you want to guess, we're ready. Come on,
let's do it. Oh that's good. Yeah, that's great. We'll
come here. I won't give it a chance.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
We can. We have time now, because you've just given us.
That's a tough one. We need a little more time.
There was actually another song we were making fun of
several months ago. No no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
It was a song about a bush crash. Everybody died,
but they didn't die exactly.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
You hear that one? Do we have time to give
him a taste of that? Say that it was a
bus that crashed and everyone died, but everyone didn't die.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Yeah, it was a bus full of a kid. It's
they were going on a field trip or something. Christmas bus, Yeah,
Christmas bus and kareened off a cliff, so the news said,
and everyone was like, oh my god, all the kids
are dead. But then they found out it was reported
incorrectly and in fact, all the kids are alive.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
It's Yellow Jacket season three. Wow, tell you what, We'll
save that for next time.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Yeah. Okay, So we welcome you to our world, and uh,
you know, we really appreciate it. We longtime fans of you,
and I'm just so excited to be part of this,
really truly honored. Well, thanks for giving us a chance.
Yeah yeah, so Casey justin Kevin Devine. The podcast is
called give It a Chance? How many?
Speaker 1 (19:34):
How many episodes are you in where we've recorded like
over ten?
Speaker 4 (19:38):
But we we're just gonna keep going until you you know,
cut us off us until the money run to stop
giving us.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I have submissions? How can I submit them?
Speaker 4 (19:46):
What?
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Oh my god, hire my Creed. Oh that's great, that one,
great one. If she makes that noise? I got, h Creed.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
That are you scared of anybody's like fan base?
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Like you know, well, we're asked if we would do
a Taylor Swift song if there's one that for us
that we truly don't like and we, you know, want
to find some merit in. I'm not afraid because I think, ultimately,
I think both camps. If you hate, if you love
the song and you listen to it, you might like that.
We're like finding the things you also like about it
to give it a chance. And if you also, if
you hate the song, you're we're also gonna rip on
(20:20):
it a little bit. I think the world should be
a little bit open to be made fun of, you know,
socially this who cares?
Speaker 1 (20:27):
I have everyone all right, they're going to come after you.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
To bring it totally. Yeah, just for saying that we're
already done, I will say that I have some I
have some swifty friends, and I like Swifties more than
I even like swift herself. Wow, give that a chance.
That was smooth.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
That was truly just trying to dig myself out of
the hall. Best of Lucky, Casey Kevin. Thank you for
the podcast is give it a chance.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Check it out.
Speaker 2 (20:53):

Wow?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Skin hair?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
All right, gentlemen, thanks for coming. Have a nice day.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
I'll take it if I could start my day with
a compliment and then just like, oh, that's that's how
everyone should start their day.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah, exactly. It rarely happens in this room, but experience it.
But y'all know each other.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
That's why we're contempt twenty seven years beating the living
crap out of each other. Yeah, you guys are like
this big marriage, you know, like, that's it's beautiful. You
guys probably see each other more than you see partners.
And it's a first marriage though, I mean, it's it's
a paid marriage. It's a contractual, paid marriage.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
A lot of money out of them if we get divorced.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I think, no, you get money while you're still with me.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
You know what, I want to stay here. You know
what love is at this level though, it's not like, hey,
you look great, I love that sweatshirt. It's like you
got something on your face. Get it off right right?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I just did a booger check for someone in this room.
I won't say it.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yes it was blue lenose, because you know we got
Paul and going on here in New York.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Yes, we do.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
And I'm like, I've got a blow my nose. We
have guests I've never met, and you did you check
for boogers? You do what they do, and we're gonna
get into the podcast. I swear to God, we don't
we don't have. This is what we do on our podcast.
I have found that the women of our show, like
Daniel and Gandhian specific they will hate can you sniff?
They'll sniff each other's under arms.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Absolutely got it.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Onions.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah, I'm like, what the hell are you doing.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Rubbing onions under their arms?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Everyone around here?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
So Casey Jo and Kevin Diviner here are you both
from Staten Island or.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Yeah, well, Kevin split his time in Brooklyn or you know,
the early part of the straight Cause. But but the
thing that I love about him is for a while
he was claiming Brooklyn and then he was like, I'm
gonna claim both because not a lot of Staten Islanders
who leave do that. And I give him a lot
of credit for that. He was like, no, I am also,
I'm from here. He literally has a song he sings
(02:33):
that lyric.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
But the Jos families originally from Staten Island. Oh j
Statenland before the gang Plank was built, before Brooklyn. Yeah, exactly.
I don't come for Italians like that, no, I know.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Yeah, we go back so far, Like my grandfather's grandfather
was born in Staten Island, so it's like it was
like Ireland in you know, several several generations ago and
then straight to Staten Island and then yeah, it's we've
just been here for so long.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
My husband family is the same thing. And then they
built that bridge and then it all went to hell. Yeah, anyway,
let's talk about the podcast. Yeah, Casey Jose and Kevin
Devine have a podcast called Give It a Chance, which
is now we welcome them with open arms into the Elvis,
the Elvis drin and what did we get into before wait,
(03:25):
before anyone talked about anything with anyone, I was familiar
with the concept of this podcast, which is brilliant. I
believe you now Give It a Chance. You take a
song and say, Okay, people hate this song, let's talk
about this song. It all started with Nickelback, No doubt, yep, Okay,
go go to episode one of Give It a Chance
(03:48):
with what it was how You Remind Me by Nickelback, which,
as you know, there's this weird hatred for Nickelback.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
It's weird thought.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
We're going to get to that because you gotta yeah, no,
I want to hear it fold her into your Okay.
So it started with that podcast. Well, yeah, you know.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
The idea is that, you know, I think I think
the world needs a little bit more positivity, and I
think we need to give things a chance. Things in
the past like so we're trying to find things that
we don't like for some some reason. And and you know,
these songs are famous songs, they're huge songs. Yeah right,
I mean saying that we don't like them, there's millions
and millions of people who have like bought streamed. This
(04:30):
is like, you know, right, so punching up. But what
we want to do, yeah, what we want to do
is take these songs that we haven't listened to in
a while, that people hate or we hate. Sometimes it's
a song that the world might not even know. Like
one of our episodes is a song that my mom
wanted to be the song that we danced to at
our wedding, not us now our wedding. Our wedding hasn't
happened yet. Yeah, but my friend, my wife and I
(04:51):
and and she picked this song by a band called
Rascal Flats that I've never heard her play or I've
ever played, and it was like the most on the
nose song. It's like it's the day of your wedding
and you dance with your mom. Like I couldn't believe it.
And I was like, okay, if my mom wants it.
And then like a month later, I was like, why'd
you pick that song? She was like, I don't know.
It was on a a website for best songs to dance,
(05:12):
so it would pick us. I would take a song
like that where I'm like, I don't like this song
and let's give it a chance. Let's look open, open
our ears up and find the positive attributes. Kevin is
a musician who is super funny. I mostly do comedy,
but I play a lot of music on the side.
We grew up playing in bands and stuff, so we
come at it with, you know, open minds, but also
(05:33):
a comedic edge and some music background, so we can
really break it apart and talk about the merits of it. Okay, So.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Episode one of Give It a Chance with Casey Jose
and Kevin wen Nickelba remind me huge hit by the
way knack that many hits, yet they are just doesn't
matter the song, it's them, they're not unlike So let's
go to Gandhi. Oh see, Like what crawled up your
butt that made you hate Nickelback so much? Is it
(06:05):
because everyone else hates them?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
No, it's because when they were popular, you could switch
to four different stations and that stupid song would be
on all of them. So I felt like they were harassing.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
We're the problem. We are the problem.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
There did that?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Also? I really don't like his delivery that made it.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Listen to the vocal.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
We call that puke voice radio when DJ's do it.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
So them get away with it. It's kind of true.
It is that guy who's just like right now, like
you're going down your commute, you're working. It's a growl
in a way.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
In the episode, Yeah, I don't want to give too
much away, but Kevin talks about this and I love it.
Like he's got the same delivery through the whole song,
where like if you took like a Kirk Cobaine who's
got like he's quiet he screams, yeah, yeah, he's all
that guy voice. He's kind of throwing up the whole time.
But you still have to give it a chance. That's right.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I think has sound and you know a Nickelback song
when you hear it, so there's.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
A positive nickel back to me is a go tea,
you know, because it's like not everyone loves a go tea.
It's inappropriate, but there's a there's a reason why people
do a go tea. It accentuates a face, you know,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
But I mean it like it's a go tea because
some people do a go tea, Like like all right,
guy Fiertti, right, he has a go tea and it
and it's sort of it shrinks this it looks good
on him.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
It works for It works for Guy, and I love Guy.
I give him a chance. Okay, okay, this brings up
a point I make. I mean, I think it's brilliant.
It's it's very as we say in the podcast world,
it's very narrow and deep. This it's about a song.
We should give it a chance. There's a thousand things
in people in life that we we harassed daily. Guy Fierti,
by the paint is definitely very polarizing, especially in the
(07:58):
culinary world.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
In the same way Nickelback is. He's actually like a
great analog exactly. And a couple of years ago, you know,
Diner's Drive Ins and Dives was on TV, and I
was like, at that time, I was like, yeah, this
guy Fieri, guy like I felt the way everyone feels like,
or not everyone, but the people who don't really know
I that's what I'm.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Saying on the back of his head, things like that.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
It's the hair. It's like this like thing like he
gets a bad rep. But then if you watch the show,
you're like, what a charismatic host, maybe one of the
best hosts of all times. You're gonna say, what a coward?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
No, do you know that we helped him get his show.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I believe it because he came up here.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
He was one of the.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Final contestants and we had to vote on the chicken
palm and we picked him and he got a show.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
But that day he did not wear that silk shirt
with the flames in the pilot You mean or here
here anyway?
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
So okay, So back to the music though, So okay,
it all started with Nickelback. Congratulations, that was your that
was that was your anchor song. So what other that
we've heard?
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Okay? Can you like you're trying to give a chance
to so a great one that I think a lot
of parents can relate to his Baby Shark.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Okay, please don't. We've got it.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
So this for the same. This is the same kind
of thing. It's it's a song that a lot of people,
it's overplayed. They you know, kids are addicted to it.
They want to hear it more and more.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
You have kids, yes, okay, So none of us are
really victims of that because your kids are too.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Baby way, hold on, Elvis, find something you like about it.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Go nothing. It reminds me of the one eight seven
seven Cars for a kid.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Yeah, it reminds me.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
By the way they're raising money for a great organization.
It's just that song makes me want to take a hostage.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Kids and building building out.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Oh yeah, you can sell everything. So you did an
entire podcast about baby Shark, yes, half hours long, a dissertation. Yeah,
uh yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
So there's songs like that that to me, actually that
was easy to find merit. I think it's it's an
it's an earworm, it's a bop, it's it's it's lit.
Uh he's going. But really it's like the musicality in it,
it's it's it's so addictive that you're like, this was
manufactured perfectly right, you know, And I give it a
lot of credit for that.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
That's not easy to do. But as a musician, as
a musician Kevin, yes, hello, hello baby Shark go.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Well, I mean also you got to meet something on
its own merits like that is perfect at what it
is trying to be, which is exactly just like a
sugar rush, a thing that like kids can hold on
to and repeat and remember. And for that, like if
I was to judge that the same wa I'm going
to judge like a Leonard Cohen song or something, and
that's like my own bias. That's my issue. Yeah, and
(10:53):
that's the only issue I have. Otherwise I'm perfectly fine.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Daniel as a mother, Yeah, you understand the need for
a baby show.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Of course, like the repetition part, it's teaching kids something,
it's fun, it's I also think it will bring parents
and their kids together. It's something they can listen to together.
So I see lots of positives too, and.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
That's the first step to world peace exactly. How about
you just turning this on Casey Jose and Kevin Devin
are here. They're a host of the podcast called Give
It a Chance. They take a song and they'd wait,
this song is being ripped to shreds. Let's listen in
and analyze it. Maybe we should give it.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Is there ever a.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Song that you guys have listened to that you tried
to give it a chance and you were like, yeah,
we just can't.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
There are definitely songs where we've had a harder time
with the chance. No chance bound give us a type
all right, So I think it's it's it's that no
Doubt song, which I love, No Doubt Hella good and
you're feeling Hella good, so and for me. It's a
(11:51):
fall from grace for them. Like I love the early
no Doubt stuff. They were this like sort of like
punk SKA, like with this incredible singer, the band rules,
like there's there's this drama with the bassist and her.
I love that whole story. And then you just give
me this sort of really cookie cutter track that has
no for me. It doesn't have a lot of soul,
and Kevin, you couldn't find anything redeeming it. But there's
(12:12):
something I don't think we found nothing redeeming. I can't
remember off the top of my head what it was,
but I think you found something that was redeeming. I
also feel like this is the opposite thing. This wants
to be met as a cool baby shark. I mean
this like wants to be met us something cool and interesting,
and it doesn't quite get there so that I can
judge viciously.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
You know, if I was really hot Gwen.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Gwenn has before this and after this put out massive hits,
right Like, I'm not worried about Gwenn because she but
she's also and and and Kevin brought this up on
the podcast Don't Come for Me. Gwenn Fans come on,
Kevin's like she was this icon that was like kind
of breaking the mold in a lot of ways, and
then she just jumped into someone else's mold.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
See I can hear Madonna.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Doing that, that's right, and a lot of other people.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Rihanna, I could see Rihanna doing it absolutely.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Okay, So let me give you a song we think
you should, all right, I love this. You should please
please find us online and give us songs. And maybe
you've done it already. It's called Christmas Shoe. Are you
familiar with the song? I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Okay, Well, Foy, he tells the story. We got to
just kind of give him a chance, okay, okay, and
I'll tell you why I hate instantly know it's a
Christmas song, So listen to him tell you the story.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Here we go.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
It was almost Christmas. There I stood in another trying
to buy that last gift to really in the Christmas.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Stand and ride in front of me, little boy waiting anxiously.
Got a little boy.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Boy Jes hands Paris shoes.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Okay, listen closely, and it's close moon and all.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
He was dirty from me to tide. The tray cames
t I couldn't believe what I heard him.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Say, Sir, I want to buy the shoes for my mama.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Plea.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just he sud
here we come. Could you hurry, sir?
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Daddy says, there's not much time.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
You see, she's been sick for quiet a while. By
shoes for me. A smile and one or two the
beautiful if momb met Jeesus. All right, let's bring a right.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Can we can?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
We slowly unpacked this bag. Okay, that's It's fantastic.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
This guy's been hurry to get home to his family,
but there's a little kid that's dirty head to toe
in from him, and he doesn't have money for the
shoes he needs to get for his mom because Jesus said, yeah,
see you soon. Okay, wow, okay. So every time we
every Christmas season we play this and I rip this
thing just raging. People think I'm satan. I'm like, whatever,
(15:32):
go ahead, Christmas shoes my.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
First, my first. We could call it a chancey. The
first thing that I like about it is I've never
heard anything like it. But I've never heard a story
like quite told like that. It's channeling this John Cougar,
Mellen Camp, Bruce Springsteen thing, but definitely not either of
those with a John Tesh producer with those people text crime.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
This text is great, this text emotional manipulation is not
what Jesus wanted for us. Back to you, No, yeah,
it's it never feels like it reaches a chorus.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
No. What I would say is also musically, key change
straight out of the verse to the chorus is an
interesting choice. I give them points for I love a
key change. Yeah, and they did it. Usually I had
to wait like two and a half minutes for the
key change. They go right and they just want to
punch it in. I do have a question lyrically though,
in the chorus when it says that you know the
first of all, it's just her size that makes it
(16:37):
sound like she has like a really weirdly like sized
foot or something. I don't know. This one shoe is
just her size. I've been looking forever.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Keep in mind shoes on the sales right, they don't
have many sizes left. I'm assuming.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Also, he was a little kid, so he might have
been able to see the sizes. His eyes are caken dirt.
I pulled if I pulled one hundred children. They wouldn't
know their parents' shoes, says one million, one million, six
billion children. We know the great questions the last but
the last line about if they meet Jesus tonight. Right,
(17:10):
that's the last. Daddy said she may meet Jesus tonight.
So we gotta get the Jesus was born on Christmas.
I'm hoping he's born before she dies, because otherwise she's
not going to meet him. He's not around.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
I don't think this was done.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
I've known about this song for a long time, Okay, years,
I'll be honest, Like, if human beings are going to
keep writing songs like this, let's just let the AI
do it. Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
No, but the name of your Feels, the name of
your podcast is give it a chance, Kevin. I'm not
seeing many chances given here.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
I'll say this. Almost every episode will say whoops, if
we forgot to give it a chance, okay, and then
we will give it a chance to get No, there's
definitely you know, there's there's there's from this. I like that.
I like the dichotomy between like this, like real clean
music and I've got a voice like this. Right, It's
like I'm I'm like, I'm an everyman, even though my
music is angelic. You know. Also, there's something to be
(18:06):
said for the fact linear storytelling is a dying art,
and that thing really lays out the groundwork.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Well he did, I mean he had all the work
for me. He could have said once upon a time
and began this page one to page ten finale thing. Look,
I think you should add this maybe. Well on a
week you can't find a song, Christmas Shoes is waiting
for you. If you want to guess, we're ready. Come on,
let's do it. Oh that's good. Yeah, that's great. We'll
come here. I won't give it a chance.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
We can. We have time now, because you've just given us.
That's a tough one. We need a little more time.
There was actually another song we were making fun of
several months ago. No no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
It was a song about a bush crash. Everybody died,
but they didn't die exactly.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
You hear that one? Do we have time to give
him a taste of that? Say that it was a
bus that crashed and everyone died, but everyone didn't die.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Yeah, it was a bus full of a kid. It's
they were going on a field trip or something. Christmas bus, Yeah,
Christmas bus and kareened off a cliff, so the news said,
and everyone was like, oh my god, all the kids
are dead. But then they found out it was reported
incorrectly and in fact, all the kids are alive.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
It's Yellow Jacket season three. Wow, tell you what, We'll
save that for next time.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Yeah. Okay, So we welcome you to our world, and uh,
you know, we really appreciate it. We longtime fans of you,
and I'm just so excited to be part of this,
really truly honored. Well, thanks for giving us a chance.
Yeah yeah, so Casey justin Kevin Devine. The podcast is
called give It a Chance? How many?
Speaker 1 (19:34):
How many episodes are you in where we've recorded like
over ten?
Speaker 4 (19:38):
But we we're just gonna keep going until you you know,
cut us off us until the money run to stop
giving us.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I have submissions? How can I submit them?
Speaker 4 (19:46):
What?
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Oh my god, hire my Creed. Oh that's great, that one,
great one. If she makes that noise? I got, h Creed.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
That are you scared of anybody's like fan base?
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Like you know, well, we're asked if we would do
a Taylor Swift song if there's one that for us
that we truly don't like and we, you know, want
to find some merit in. I'm not afraid because I think, ultimately,
I think both camps. If you hate, if you love
the song and you listen to it, you might like that.
We're like finding the things you also like about it
to give it a chance. And if you also, if
you hate the song, you're we're also gonna rip on
(20:20):
it a little bit. I think the world should be
a little bit open to be made fun of, you know,
socially this who cares?
Speaker 1 (20:27):
I have everyone all right, they're going to come after you.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
To bring it totally. Yeah, just for saying that we're
already done, I will say that I have some I
have some swifty friends, and I like Swifties more than
I even like swift herself. Wow, give that a chance.
That was smooth.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
That was truly just trying to dig myself out of
the hall. Best of Lucky, Casey Kevin. Thank you for
the podcast is give it a chance.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Check it out.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
