(00:00):
Hey there, how to make a mix tape?
Listeners, this is Roderick here.
Before we get into today's episode, I wanted to give
everyone a heads up that the audio quality isn't the best.
We tried somewhat successfully to record in person for the
first time, and as we soon foundout, we don't necessarily have

(00:24):
the best equipment for that scenario yet.
And there's a lot of weird audiobleed and things that we tried
to do our best to correct, but the the audio quality is not the
best. It's still a fun episode.
It's a good listen, just we'd appreciate your patience with us
as we figure out how to be podcasters.
Make sure you follow us if you don't already.

(00:47):
Make sure you check out the pastepisodes.
Make sure you tell people about the pod.
It really does help. And quick reminder, we have
merch for sale HTMMT podcast.bigcartel.com.
The link is in the description of the episode here.
And thanks for your support. Thanks for listening.
And now we'll get back to the show.

(01:13):
How to make mix? Tape now the making of a good
population tape is a very. Subtle Art.
Many do's and don'ts. First of all, you're using
someone else's poetry to expresshow you feel.
This is a delicate. Thing.
You. Got to kick it off with a killer
grab attention, then you got to take it up enough you.

(01:36):
Don't want to blow your block? So then you got to cool.
It off a notch. There are a lot of rules.
You know, when we said we were going to record live, I didn't
expect there to be bugs. I.
Didn't expect. Bugs.
In the conference room. What?
Happened. It's going to leave the window
because. I got candy corn and peanuts.

(01:57):
Yeah, true. I just bought it from This is a
sugar I cooked just a sugar. Big Sugar.
Big Sugar bugs don't like aspartame.
What mugs don't like aspartame? No, it's not real.
It's your water. Forgot it in here.

(02:20):
You want hot? No, I'm cool.
Go over all the way to the right.
Can you hear this? Yeah.
Well, in my in my head, I can. Why don't you intro us while I'm
doing this? Because you can hear that.
That's a great way to start the pod.
It sounds like somebody's takinga leak.
All right, No, no, no intro thisweek.
No Don and Roderick intro. Do I know why?

(02:42):
We're in person. We're we're here with Christian.
We'll do it live. Doing it live here at Hal and
Indy, all three of us in the same room, you know?
All right here. All right here.
We can't do an intro. We're talking about you.
Yeah. Look at that.
I don't really have headphones in right now.
It's nice. It's freeing.

(03:02):
It's actually a little odd. I'm not used to it.
I'm used to hearing your voice. Tame.
I wish that my teeth were OK enough to because I'm so good at
catching things in my mouth. You want.
To try catching shit in my mouthin the back alley.
Marshmallows. No, it was, however, breakfast
potatoes from Easy Rider. Good job, you sure don't want to
try anyone. No, I pay too much to Chris Got.

(03:25):
Vampire teeth. Not safe, not safe.
Hey, Chris, thanks for having ushere.
Hey, Rob, thanks for being here.Yeah, I need to look at you now.
It's, it's cool to see the shop,the massive, massive complex.
It's like a yeah, it's like, youknow, entire like industrial

(03:46):
revolution era factory. You know.
Christian wanted to start a. Separate call.
There's no little. There's no This would be a great
base. Yeah, for a.
Yeah, you could. You could really lock yourself
in here for for a long time. Nobody be able to find you, We
see. The factory we shoot that one
next factory's a crazy. What do you hear, Phil?

(04:08):
Plan is Wednesday. Oh.
Come. Rob's an uncle.
I'm an uncle, Congrats. That's what I fear.
Amazing. I'm in Indy because Rachel had a
baby. I'm.
Going to see Eddie Izzard. That's why I'm here.
Nice. Hell yeah.
So congratulations. Yeah, why is your?
First time, uncle. Yeah.
Why are you here? I live here.
Fair enough is. This your first time, Uncle?
This. Uh huh.

(04:28):
Cool. It's great.
New new uncle, first time uncle.So good.
Oh, you're having so much fun dude.
I. Cried once when I told him
because he's only three days oldand just sleeps the whole time,
but yeah. You could picture you holding
the baby though. Oh, good picture.
He's cutie. It was.
I feel like babies are mostly cute.
They're either probably. I hope I don't offend anybody

(04:49):
here, but babies are either cuter They're.
Ugly like they're they're. Just sacks of skin at that
point. Yeah.
So they're either like, no, I was one of the ugly ones.
Were you cute, baby? I like to think I was.
I was heinous. Really.
Yeah, I wonder if I called my mom if we could hear her on the

(05:09):
call. I don't know, but you know what
I did see the other day is I went on your mom's Instagram
because she liked my photo of mewith the baby.
I. Was.
Like, oh, she calls me. So I went clicked on Instagram,
which is adorable. It's all it's all like pictures
of Donnie and Krista's kids. Yeah.
And there's a fantastic picture of Donnie and dressed up as
Dracula. We don't mom.
What's funny is that she's not doing shit 64657 she can't be

(05:37):
out after like because she's fucking blind.
I thought it was her like, you know, her work release
agreement. No, she'll call back.
You don't want to know what she's done.
I was going to have her verify how heinous of a baby I was
because I weighed 12 lbs one ounce when I was born.
Damn dude, it's. A big.

(05:58):
There's no photos of me from thetime I was born until the time I
was like maybe four or five months old because I was an ugly
baby. No photos at all, even when
you're on Instagram, which is just something but child photos
of you and that. Was single.
One Christa, that photo of you Dracula was fantastic.
Though I know the best part of the photo of me of Dracula is
that I'm a blonde haired kid, but they wanted to draw a

(06:22):
Dracula Widowski so it's just black with blonde hair behind
it. That's the best part of the
Dracula photo. I'm.
Trying to get to her Instagram again because I want to see it.
There was another photo of you that I wanted to see does.
It mean he's a rabbit. No, it wasn't a costume one.
It was just. All the baseball.
It was just you. It's just we're not that far

(06:45):
apart in age and somehow this photo looks like it was taken in
the 1960s. Trying to understand here it is.
Which one is it Riveting This one?
This. 1. Totally.
Let me let me tell you why that does that not look like.
It's from like 1963. Let.
Me tell you why that photo? Looks like that you want to see.

(07:07):
Have you seen this? Let me tell you why that photo
looks like that. Because Joni has no idea how to
like, upload photos, so she's taking a picture of a picture
with her phone. Dripping in that one.

(07:41):
I saw all of Lauren's senior photos today and that was
talking about. Oh yeah.
Was she seen green? Dracula.
No, like just take that. She graduated.
She graduated in O 1, so she looks like she's 40.
Yeah, Yeah, Good luck. That the shortcut here you know.
Welcome to How to make a Mixtape.
Yeah, in person for first time. First time in person.

(08:04):
We brought our friend Christian back, who decided to host us in
his conference room. We're here.
Thank you for having us. Welcome.
If you are in Indianapolis for any reason, find yourself find
the Fountain Square neighborhood, yeah, and come to
Hollenheim. Come.

Really, really, really cool shop.

(08:26):
Thank you, Mike. I.
Get your haircut next door. Get your haircut next door
either. What's that called?
Darlin garlin. Then we've got Wilds, which is a
barbershop. Great job man.
It's a mogul. Can I call you mobile now?
I'm not. Yeah, I don't think well, you've
got. 3 divisions of this companyBarbershop salon that you're
affiliated with. Yeah, barbershop, my buddies

(08:46):
mobile. Call.
I'm calling the mobile. We're saying it's complicated.
Now change is not named. Oh my God, mobile little leather
mogul. Cool, there are a lot of people
that are really excited that yousomehow snag Leather Daddy as
your Instagram. That's two wise though.
That's OK. It's on my Let's explain too
LGHR space DDY. DEYDDY fantastic.

(09:11):
And then like, I would start getting like wild looks on the
highway. And that's like, man, is another
daddy the right choice? Well.
It's not like you got the ask man.
Oh yeah, true. Yeah.
What's our game for tonight? Karaoke songs.
You are stressed. Hold on.
Here we go. You really dropped the ball when
I called you earlier. I'm sorry, I, I'm sorry.

(09:34):
That's OK. Hey, are there any photos of me
from the time I was born until Iwas about four months old?
Maybe one of crystal? Why?
Why do none of those photos exist now?
Because, Donny, why do you make me say it?
You just weren't a pretty baby. Honey, we have to get you evened

(09:57):
out a little bit. You were just, you were just
smashed and too big. And so as a result of that, I
was an ugly baby, is what you'resaying?
He had a cute face. Not at first.
Well, it was. I'll find a picture of you as a

(10:18):
baby, and if I send it to you, you're going to say, oh, now I
understand. All right, that was all I
needed. Thanks.

(10:51):
Because I don't know if any of them are repeats and I just
don't want to let you down. But why are you still concerned
about there being repeats for all bangers?
Why do you fuck about letting him down?
Oh, I don't care, actually. But also, why are you still
concerned about there being repeats?
Rules. Right.
But did you ever violate those rules?
Yeah, the last one. Are you the only person ever?

(11:11):
So now you just do my clear thing.
That's true. No, just keep doing it.
Just pick the four songs we've already had.
Yeah, switch to Poser. Why didn't want to?
Do this thing other than my texting and said we should do
this thing. Because like, I think anybody

(11:33):
that loves to karaoke and was presented that theme would be
like, let's do that theme. Yeah, like.
I sent it to you because I'm like, I know you like to.
Karaoke like these are my personal.
So now people listen and they see you out at karaoke where
they can pick one of these firstso that.
Yeah. Fuck you over a little bit.
Well, they could, I do. Asterisks.

(11:54):
You just do. You just get up and do it, Yeah.
I do get it better. Since Jason, God Bless the
stole, did such a bad job compiling all of the songs into
a Word document or where the Foxsoftware used, I redid it all
and compiled it into an Excel page.

(12:15):
We have had 300 songs over our 25.
Episodes. Not we've recorded 27, but only
25 rocks to the public. We're recording 28 right now.
We've had 300 songs and only oneperson has repeated one song,
and 300 songs you can quite understand.
That's a pretty great. I feel it doesn't keep that up,

(12:37):
you know? Yeah, one repeat song in a
couple seasons. I can.
Be that guy I got. I got thick skin.
You can be that guy. You're our 4th, 5th, 2nd time
guest. Cool.
I don't know. I don't remember. 4th actually
Jason 4th, 4th, 4th 2 time guest.

(13:00):
You're killing it. Thank you.
I'm excited to spend money in your store today.
Yeah. You want to go first.
You're so excited about your songs.
I would encourage you to go first.
That's fucking bold. That puts me first.
Why is that? Because if you wanted to get

(13:22):
yourself on the board right awayso that nobody else is going to
steal. Your songs like.
If you're going to kick open thedoor with Don't Stop Believing
by journey, which I'm not going to do, that's going to be one of
my honorable mentions. But if you wanted that it's,
you're not. Worried about us having the same
songs. You're just worried that.
It's been your songs have been on the list before.
OK. That's a good one.

(14:18):
That is an absolute banger of a karaoke song.
Here's one of my favorite thingsabout here's karaoke song
performance etiquette in my opinion, Right.
Oh, you didn't do the rules. You didn't do the rules to the
mixer. Let's just no, let's just go.

(14:38):
This is some like karaoke etiquette number one.
If you're going to jump up there, you should probably do a
pretty good job. Kind of.
Like you don't be great, but youshould try.
Don't be the girl that is up there.
I shouldn't say girl. Don't be the person that's up
there. That's like, I don't know the
words. I'm just up here having fun.

(15:00):
So you have to try really hard. You don't have to sing great,
but you have to try hard. If there's audience
participation in the song, it's for sure going to bring the
house down. And that's why What's Up by 4
Non Blondes is a quintessential karaoke crowd there.
Are different types of karaoke songs just to kind of get into

(15:24):
what you were talking about as an ultimate crowd pleaser?
Yeah. Yeah, I agree, but.
I think if you. Are and if you do know you're
not great at karaoke, you're notthe best singer.
Those are the songs you should lean into because there's less
pressure on the crowd favorites,I feel because you are getting
people singing themselves right?Like they're going to be even if
whether the crowd audience is singing loud, they're singing to

(15:47):
themselves, they're still kind of singing it.
I feel like there's a little more grace there.
You. Know first, sure, when you hit
that point in the chorus where it's the it's Linda Perry doing
the fucking over and over again part, I'm not just saying it,
but you might. I think you should.
Sing it. I think we should all sing a
little bit of our songs and I'lllayer it over the actual.
Song I don't know I won't do that I'm.
Not going to do that. But I apologize for mouth being

(16:10):
full of candy corn, peanuts. But that would be the point
where the whole audience participates.
You bring the house. Yeah.
Are there and and I'm going to ask this question even though we
might say something, somebody might have this on those are
there songs that are too? It's too, too easy.
Or two crowd participatory. Don't stop believing by journey.

(16:31):
Yes, sweet Caroline. Sweet Caroline.
That was what I was thinking, like 2.
Although I can't stand that Journey song either.
A karaoke. But yeah, dude, Sweet Caroline.
Like when somebody puts that on them, like that's just a
straight cop. That's just you don't.
Actually carry your call. And you're what, like your
friend forced you to put it in that?
Is a that's leaning too much. There's no personality now like

(16:56):
those two are, are two like there's zero personality in
that. That's.
You know, like you. Like you picking 4 Non Blondes
as personality. Not like, yeah, it's a crap
there's but nobody's no offense.I don't know why you take a fist
at this, but I don't look at youand think this dude's about to
sing 4 Non Blondes. You know?

(17:17):
Like it's not going to be like nobody's going to roll their
eyes at that shit. I will say this, and I don't say
this because on the red episode I admitted it was one of my
valuable mentions, but I admitted almost picking Lady in
Red which is one of the most hated songs.
This is also a very hated song. Warren Bond, This is like in.

(17:39):
The top ten Like really good songs.
Not karaoke. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They talked about it on the, they talked about it on.
It was either bands plane or 60 songs.
One of those two, this song cameup and they were talking about
like it's made a lot of lists onlike most hated songs.
I'm kind of shocked to. Hear.

(18:01):
That just passing along now saying I hate.
It. This feels like you.

(18:42):
You know, it's my, it's my one. You know, it's like if I have,
if I know that the carrier placeis packed and I'm gonna have to
wait 30 minutes in order to send, you know, that's the one
I'm going to put down because I know him, Williamson wants.
Why isn't your confidence with your delivery?
Or is it you know that it'll bring the house down?
It falls in line with the crowd pleaser, right?

(19:05):
But it's like a front man crowd pleaser, like so good.
And everybody knows I don't carewho you are.
And that's always been my alwaysbeen in it.
Like a head bottom too. Like it, you know?
Yeah. I'm trying to think I.
Don't. I don't think one of the things
as I was compiling my list is the death of a good karaoke song

(19:25):
is a long guitar solo. Oh yeah.
Does this have a long guitar solo in it?
I don't. Think it does?
No, that's. Weird for this genre with hair
metal to not have a big squealy.Oh, great call.
Yeah. But do you agree with that?
Do you think that the depth of agood grade of the song is a long
musical break? Absolutely.

(19:46):
Yeah, it's so awful. Got weight on 12 measures like
I. I remember somebody who's really
good at like some air guitars, some could probably pull it off
and ham it up enough to be somewhat entertaining, but like
the crowd too, a little bit. Like everybody's standing around
and I. Mean.
I don't know, like I've been there where I forgot.
There was like a long interlude in the song that I did, and then

(20:08):
you just kind of standing there and yelling, oh fuck, what do I
do now? I forgot this part.
Bad pick. Yeah.
True. You know, a little, a little bit
is is fine. Yeah.
A lot of songs have a little bitof a.
One of my songs got bumped into honorable mentions because of
the long musical interlude. Yeah, but.
It is a. Great fucking karaoke jam.

(20:30):
I'm trying to remember what I did that had one I can't
remember. Another death of a karaoke
performance is too long of a song.
Yeah. Oh.
For. Sure, dude, dude.
I went last time, not last time at karaoke, but when I was out
in Phoenix, actually, we went toa karaoke bar and this, this

(20:51):
dude, he was, he was the only dude there at karaoke when we
got there. Like we were pretty early, so
props to him, you know? And he wasn't the karaoke guy.
Like he was just there. Every single song he did was
like was like Tuesday's gone by Lynyrd Skynyrd or fucking like
like every song. Every song was like 7 1/2
minutes ago and you're just like.

(21:11):
Dude. It is that way over and over.
Every song which is one after another and I'm just like, man,
you got to get off, you got to, you got to cut that shit out.
It's too much, too much, it's too much.
I also will say this, this is another karaoke.
Faux pas? Well, it's not a faux pod
because it's not about the person performing, but what is
it with? Have you ever had like a really

(21:32):
bad karaoke host? I feel like most of them are
actually pretty good, but I had a bad one in that place in
Phoenix and he kind of ruined itfor like he was just a Dick.
He used to it was. So.
Weird. I was like, why are you doing
this if you're so mad? Like, you know what this is?
What does he? Do give me an example.
He. He kind of I like how people

(21:54):
watch dude, so it's kind of after he was kind of a Dick,
like he turned in a song and if he what was he doing?
I just remember he he was like chirping back at people
sometimes about what song they picked or like maybe couldn't
read their handwriting or something like that.
Then someone asked him nicely. He was like, I can't read what
that says. Like I watched him throw a paper
at somebody and my buddy kept putting a different name because

(22:15):
it's a fucking we're just drinking and having a good time
and who cares? Like, but he changed his name
every time and that dude got pissed at that.
And I was just like, and there'slike 12 people here singing
karaoke. And then I started, I started
watching him and every time somebody was not very good.
He. Just like daggerized them the
whole time and I'm just like, dude, what is karaoke at like a

(22:38):
dive bar in Phoenix, my man, like.
Noah, chill. Have we talked?
I think I've talked about this in the past episode.
Have you ever seen the movie TheGoods with Jeremy Pivot?
Did bring that up, but no, I have not.
Oh OK, there's a scene with Craig Robinson where he DJ.
Requests. Yeah, he said.

(22:58):
We, we, I would watch him. We've laughed at those clips,
but. DJ requests and then people
request songs and then he doesn't play it.
It's really. What?
He says he's going. To right?
He's like really excited. For sure, for sure.
Like you're next and then just doesn't play it We. 1st a
karaoke night at a bar and the dude that did it.

(23:19):
We was our first guy that we like rented to do.
He would get way too drunk. So it was like 3 months of doing
it that we're like hey man, you can't, you can't.
You're not doing anything. You know what's?
That dude's name? Christian.
No, I don't want to say his name.
Well, we need like live band karaoke.
And then we get it to where I was like, fuck this, we're just
going to do karaoke for ourselves.

(23:39):
So I was the guy that was like next to the stage, is Carolyn's
thinking. You're a strip club, DJ or
karaoke. It's also a good strip club song
though. Oh yeah, pour some sugar.
I mean 100% possible you go to. I.
Don't care if you play some sugar on me.

(24:01):
Roderick, you get some explaining to do to Amy dear
about how you know, pour some sugar on me is good.
I I. Think Amy here knows the Pour
Some Sugar on Me is probably a strip club song?
I feel like that's just some popular culture, but.
Are all your? All.
Right, Roderick? Mars in a totally different
direction from that and I actually used to think this

(24:23):
maybe it wasn't a great karaoke song it's just one I love to do
and then last time I went karaoke one in Phoenix I went to
put this in and I'm walking up to put the song in and it comes
on because there's another dude doing it and I was like OK it's
not just me teenage dirtbag but we.

(25:05):
It's a fun one, like I I get to do the weird high pitch and like
surprise cloud freezer. Crowd pleaser.
Oh yeah, for sure. It's a huge crowd pleaser.
Yeah, dude. Was this?
Popular in a movie. This isn't an honorable mention
before. Was it popular in a movie?

(25:27):
Was this from I know the kick from American Pie was in the
music video. I don't know, the Kong was just
huge though still it still is pretty big like this says like
legs till to this day, like I it's on social media and stuff
all the time. But yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah. I'm.
Just a beat age. How does he do that?

(25:50):
I can do it. You.
Got to be up on the stage to do it.
But given the peer. Pressure it's just it's a weird
1 and I I do try when I go, I dotry to pick songs that I don't
feel like people maybe are you guys used to hearing I've got a

(26:12):
couple on here that I feel like are pretty common ones, but you
know, I like like my my spot is a song that everybody knows, but
nobody probably thought they were going to hear that karaoke.
Those are the ones I like to do so I don't know I used to sing
this the cover band I was in high school.
He used to do this song. It was the one of only two songs
that I sang on. So I've been singing it for a
long time it. Would have been great 90s one

(26:33):
hit wonder did come out in 1999.So that's that's what I was
going to mention because I kept seeing contradicting
information. I kept seeing that it came out
in 1999 and then I kept seeing that it actually came out 2000.
So I just didn't pick it for that episode.
But that was actually initially on my list of the first
iteration of 90s one hit wonders.
How many? How many?
Plays. Do you think it's got on
Spotify? I've got a lot.

(26:55):
What do you think? 300 million that.
Many. How many do you?
Think I do a. 150 million. 700 million, it is 300 million away
from the billion. I told you that is nuts.
I. Told you, man.
Everybody knows. That song, wow.

(27:17):
Yeah, that's crazy. It's interesting, right?
Yeah. You didn't expect it.
I did this 700 million and then if you do the 2020 remastered
that has its own 11,000,000 streams and if you do an
acoustic that has another 3,000,000 streams.
Dude. Good choice.

(27:37):
All right, my next pick. I'm not a good singer but I'm an
enthusiastic period performer and I will bring the fucking
house down with Mr. Jones by theCunningham.

(28:11):
I. Love that one.
Good call. A couple good things to know
about this one. No breaks in the song, so it's
song straight through. No guitar break at all.
It's very reachable for anybody.Like there's not too big of like
vocal jumps to do. Huge crowd pleaser.

(28:32):
Everybody likes to sing along toit.
Yeah, I I sing it and karaoke ata bowling alley one time and
there was like, I don't know, nine people there.
And the karaoke host was like, whoa.
That one came out of Left View, which is a pretty big hit for
me. I felt pretty good after that

(28:52):
one. John Callahan was there.
But yeah, Mr. Jones by The County Grows is a quintessential
and I Promised Mine aren't all 90s alt rock songs.
You know what songs play at karaoke really well in general,
so it's OK. So there's so many different
though, because it's not just there's like so many, but that

(29:12):
time, I think 90s, early 2000s, there are so many dangers in
every genre. Just radio.
You know. Yeah, there's.
So there's so many. Running about music again back
then too. They were so sick, you know?
Yeah, yeah, that was, that's a good one, dude.
That's a good one. That's another kind of like
unexpected. I agree with the wacky, the

(29:33):
wacky DJ voice karaoke guy at the bowling alley.
Like that one does come out do. You think that that was a good
impression of the bowling alley karaoke DJ?
Already kind of morning radio DJ.
Jock Jock. David Cross has a really funny
skit about Jock Jock. Morning DJs.

(29:57):
Do you see Jobo? Yeah, we got like Jobo marry
Self Manka. Yeah, Yeah, man.
Oh, man, yeah, yeah, because I actually heard him, man.
Yeah, yeah. Because I originally grew up in
Mission City and that was like beyond those radio.
Station. What do you mean he buried
himself? He did it for like.

(30:18):
He realized done this is a big deal.
Yeah, like fully buried himself.Yeah.
No, this is. Like.
I don't know, probably. That's some like.
Suspended himself in a glass tube 50 stories up.
We just had, we didn't really have a shock jock.

(30:40):
We had Bobby Tom. Oh yeah.
Bobby Thomas Syndicate that wasn't everywhere.
They're based in Indy though. They.
Were. They were indie DJs like I grew
up with. So Kathy Lee, who was the her,
her nephew lived in my neighborhood and she went to
school with me. And so I actually, I got Bob and
Tom's box seats at the Deer Creek whenever they couldn't go.
So I saw a bunch of bands that saw like Aerosmith and some

(31:02):
people. We had.
Box seats but. We had.
Man cow. And then we had Eddie and Jobo.
They were the big B 96 ones. I mean, Sherman and Tingle for a
while on Q101. You remember that you might have
been there for Sherman and Tingle.
Sherman and Tingle were a big deal.
They were pretty good. They were Q 101 dudes.
Yeah, they were pretty good. They were enjoyable.

(31:24):
I. I could be wrong.
I just don't think the other indie radio stations tried to
compete in the morning with Bob and Tom.
So anybody else really even tried to do the morning DJ thing
that much 'cause everybody listen to Bob?
Well, they do. Like, I don't know.
A lot of them now, right? Like those guys, are they still
there? Bob's not there anymore, but
Tom's still there. Really.

(31:46):
Yeah, they broke him up. No, I wanted to retire.
Good for him. Yeah, but which one's?
Which, which one had the Dodgerscap in the bushy mustache?
That's Bob. That's Bob.
Yeah. And he retired.
Yes. OK.
Tom was like, the taller, like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fair enough. Still out, huh?
There you go, Tom. Is Christy Lee still doing it?
Yeah. All right.
Shout out Christy Lee if you're listening.

(32:07):
I mean, probably not. But, well, I mean, you can find
it on the radio station and likewhere you're at.
Oh. I know, I know.
You can do it any like they. You know syndicate, but.
Like we're having the South Dakota as close as Bob and Tom.
All right, toaster tongue or yeah, toast, I mean.
Yeah, fucking Donnie Baker passed away, though.
Donnie Baker, I don't know if he's he's, he's just like this

(32:31):
like character on the show, honey.
Baker Hillbilly guy, Yeah. He's the best.
I knew too many people that werejust like Donnie Baker in real
life so. Over to you.
So this is for when I'm confident.
I've had like a couple, but I'm not too fucked up and I'm
confident and I don't really need to sing it.
I can just say it. I'm going to go usher Raven nice

(32:53):
and slow. Girl, you know what I mean,
baby, take you to a place and nice and quiet.
There ain't no one that turn into a Ain't got to rush.
I just wanna take it nice and slow.
Baby, Tell me what you wanna do with me.

(33:14):
See, I've been waiting for this for so long.
Making love until the sun comes up, baby.
Maybe tell me what you are? Yeah, this is a.
This is a, you know, AI don't know.

(33:36):
No, I didn't know explain is. This a crowd pleaser.
It is, but it's a crowd pleaser.Pleaser for me, you know,
because I know I can do it in myway.
Not terrible. If that makes the performance.
Yes, yes, 100% and it's 100% a crowd pleaser.
OK. Which for me personally, well,

(33:57):
no. You'll see in my list.
I have other reasons, but it is heaven.
Crowd pleasers. Because I think that the arts of
karaoke is that. I feel like there's other Oscar
songs that will bring the house down more.
Oh yeah, I'm copying this one. OK.
Like, yeah. Oh, that's.
Yeah. Would you ever bring the hosta?
Yeah, I. Mean you can do anything from a

(34:18):
bird you can burn. You can do anything from that
one. Fashions would be the one
that's. A good one, but now that's just
I'm going to take it out of you.I want, I want to watch you
sing. Oh.
Yeah, you see my eyes when I sayit.
Sorry, I'll bite my lower lip. Loving this play.
Loving this song. Somehow the stage gets all wet.
It's called that stage. You're dancing in the water.

(34:40):
Yeah. I do have, it's not the song
though, but I have a bunch of I have a list.
Do you have the seasoning? Like I have a list of episodes.
I think we'll probably do someday, like Justin knows, like
a huge list of just in case whenI hear a song, I'm like, oh,
that'd be good for this. I'll just like I have.
I had Usher on a couple of those.
I. Fear for the episodes that we're

(35:02):
going to have to do as covers better than the original.
I've got a couple listed for that, but what do you mean it's
fear? Because there's like I, I would
add so many every single day. Like there's so many.
Controversial too. I know.
That's a. That's a final.
Subjective. This is our opinion.
Oh. Yeah.
But still, I mean, you make me wanna.

(35:25):
That'd be a good. Oh yeah, I'd be a bit curious.
See, Burn is a good one. I could do Burn.
Too, I don't know Usher well enough to know song titles at
all. I'd have to.
I would know it if I heard it, I'm sure.
But. But I think that my boot.
Oh yeah. But that would be another one
where it's like, what are some of the good karaoke duets to be
pulled off? I had I had it duet on my list,

(35:45):
but it was the song that I already picked on another one,
so I was I was going to pick duets.
I guess it's a duet regulators like I loved it like I I think
it's gonna be killed because my buddy can sing.
So he did the name on the OMG part I've.
Done that one and it totally fucking.
Did it flop because the crowd? Did it flop because you like did
somebody not do the night that part like?

(36:07):
No. You know.
What's interesting? About that is, but one person
didn't walk up to me and she wasreally drunk and I just chopped
it up to that, but one woman didme afterwards and just go you
got to fuck off picking that song and just walked away.
I was like that's fucking interesting.
That's a. Song.
That's a good song. I'm like, I don't know what I

(36:31):
did. You're just fucked up taking
that song. I wish, I wish she would have
fought you. Like as far as because she spent
the whole night with her crew except for the moment.
That she, I hope, I hope that really resonated with you.
You know the name of a sensitiveboy.
Or hurt my feelings. Hurt my feelings, made me sad.
I want to make everybody happy. Bring us all back up with your

(36:52):
next pick. Shit.
It's me. Oh fuck, I want that backstreet
voice. Is that a single performance?

(37:30):
Yeah. Basically, I mean, because they
play the harmonies parts like onthe backing track.
So I mean, you're doing all the Backstreet Boys parts on that
song, but it's a pretty simple song to sing.
It's not exactly. They're not showing off their
chops in that song, so to speak.Yeah, well, that's fair, But.
Shade Throne. It's it's like you get to be

(37:51):
dramatic, you know, you get to pretend like you got to button,
button down on blowing in the wind.
Whether Oh. My God.
And just like do the hand motions, How many?
Places like. I don't know.
It's a 1 1/2 billion. 1 1/2 billion 1.5 billion streams.
It's, it's a massive song, dude.And it's just like, I think boy

(38:13):
bands kind of do crush it. It's just a lot of them.
To your point, Donnie, some of them don't work well because
depending on how many parts there are or how to be
different, the vocalist sound, yeah, it's hard for one person
to pull that off. I feel like the Backstreet Boys,
yeah. I was very different.
So I feel like one person could pull off all the parts.
It's kind of the Usher thing though.
It's like the pop jam. You know, yeah.

(38:35):
See my Ashley jams like early the night karaoke.
Like this got as slow as I wouldwant to go.
It's really slow. Damn this blonde.
I mean, that kind of goes to theearlier thing that's more about
the length than the, but. I hate like a I do fucking hate
a slow karaoke song. Especially when the vibes.

(39:07):
They did it the last time I went.
Somebody did that song, They didthat song.
I know they did. I, I needed a time and a place.
The hard thing is you don't always know, like you don't know
what's coming before. So it's it's a little bit of
luck because, oh, that's. Great.
I've definitely. Been in a situation where the
vibes are high and then somebodycomes in with something really
slow and just brings everybody down and everything kind of that

(39:27):
they take that down to another drink, you know, kind of a
thing. Strawberry.

(40:01):
It can be a slow jam in my opinion.
It can be a slow jam if you can hit it, you know.
All right, all right. I trust you.
I. Did you consider this 1A slow
jam? I didn't even think about it
when I picked it, but I want it that way.
Is that a slow jam? No.
No. It's boy band songs.
It's not. I mean, it's they're ballad, but
it's not a slow jam. Yeah, also, they're gonna make

(40:22):
no sense, which makes me happy too.
It's just fun to sing because I'm like, I don't have any.
What? I've nothing I'm saying makes
any damn sense right now. But I didn't write it.
So you want to What way? Well, what do they want it,
Donnie? That way.
That way. What is that?
What's that way mean? Tell me why micro?

(40:42):
Yeah, again, we talked about thespecifics of a good crowd.
The right crowd is really going to love Mother by Danzig.
Mother, tell your children not to work my way.
Tell your children not to hear my words, what to mean, what to

(41:04):
say. Mother, Mother, can you keep
them in the dark for lion? Oh yeah.
Interesting. That's hard for one to say.
How about? A slow song.
It's pretty. Slow Mother by dancing, Yeah.
I think Mother kills with the right crowd, yes.

(41:28):
And there's a lot of karaoke crowds that would not.
Yeah, totally. Yeah.
Totally. You got to be careful where
you're putting that one in and also you got to be ready to pull
that off. Absolutely.
You got to pull that off. And if you're ready to pull that
off, the. Range for it and the.
Crowd. That one will bring the fucking
house down. There's many, many tents at a

(41:48):
rock timber where they've brought the house down.
I can see that. I mean, if somebody did that
song well, I would love to hear.I would love the night to be
broken up. No offense.
I don't mean this. I don't no shading, Christian.
I don't want the desert words tobe broken up a little bit in the
journey, to be broken up a little bit of some dancing.
Oh yeah. In the country too, like.

(42:11):
I love you. Want country.
I don't fucking want to. Sing I want to be a Muslim
saying like I want I don't mind for sure, like you'll I've gone
certain places and it'll just belike 4 country songs in a row
and I'm just I'm I would kill for somebody to do mother.
That scenario sing red solo copsto fucking karaoke.

(42:34):
I know, but that's the kind of bullshit you're in that.
Pop country, you know. What are you going to give me?
Like like I mean. You can go anywhere.
That's not like. You're fucking before you cheat.
I don't want to. Fucking hear you're going?

(42:54):
To hear Save a horse, ride a cowboy.
I don't. Want to hear that you're?
Going to hear she thinks my tractor sexist.
I don't. Want.
To hear damn, I feel like a woman.
Oh. My God.
Give us your next song and tell us.

(43:14):
Perfectly, I will give you my next song.
You ready for? This.
This is the single greatest duetkaraoke song.
I got it. No demand.
I got it. Don't even.
Tell me I put your. Picture away.

(43:36):
I want the way you've been. I can't look at you while I'm
like, next to him. I put your picture away.
It's so fucking bad. No, it's amazing.

(43:59):
It's the best. Picture.
Picture. I love show Crow but.
Is it picture or pictures? Picture.
Yeah, dude, God, that's a bad fucking.
Song. It's not the best.
She does make some bad decisions, everyone.

(44:21):
I don't. Remember this song?
I remember this happened. Oh really?
My favorite meme right now is the picture of Kid Rock and they
said Kid Rock looks like Doctor Phil is cosplaying.
I love that. It's good.
Yeah, it's the best. I don't know this song.
Play it. You sing it for me.
I. Don't play it we're.

(44:42):
Doing a karaoke episode. Yeah, like I'm not going to.
I'm not the hit me, right? I don't have a microphone in my
hand. I don't have a crowd buzzing.
You know, I said, you just write.
Don't sell yourself short. No.
I'm not going to play it. I don't want to.
It's the best. One I'm going to have to.
Hear the video. Too, But.
Also a demanding thing. From both parts.

(45:03):
From both parts, Yeah. If you can't do it, I can do
both parts. Do you do the show either one
other? One that's a good thing to have
in your pocket if you want to dothe duet.
Depending on who you're with, yeah, you can go either way.
If you want to do the duet, you're going to go Lady Gaga and
Bradley Cooper for Shallows. No, I don't want.

(45:26):
To. Do that either it.
Is supposed to you. You say picture is faster.
Well, it's Kid Rock show Crow, though, that's worse.
What about what the fuck's that song called Gotye?
Oh yeah. Somebody that.
I. Don't know if I could pull that

(45:47):
off. The girl's going to stand around
for a lot of the song. You know what I'm saying?
Damn this is a controversial episode.
You pick bad songs. That's bullshit.
You only. Picked 1.
Bad song. No, I.
Just I'm just a versific Kid Rock is the problem.
Yeah, for sure, but I also what?Would be a better duet than

(46:10):
this. Islands in the stream.
Why? Wouldn't.
You. Pick that because you know.
Islands in the stream is way. Better.
You're the one that I want from Greece.
For me though, it's a picture. For sure.

(46:34):
What the fuck do I keep trying to think of that would be a
better duet? Don't.
Go breaking my heart, I've heard.
Was it good the person get over?It's like almost almost.
I got you, babe. Yeah.
That's. A journey that's.
A little slow. No shit that's.

(46:55):
Pretty slow man. I can't believe you picked this
over islands of the. Street.
I love this song though. God damn you fucked up.
Hey. I'm you know what?
We should have planned better and we should have done the
karaoke after this and then put snippets of a saucy and the
song. Oh yeah.
Is it Sunday? I think they're doing that.

(47:15):
They're doing karaoke. They used to send an e-mail.
Give me a. Call.
Give me. A call.
Why not? I don't.
Know. It's for the episode.
OK. It's part of the experience.
The weather mogul that was there.

(47:38):
It's been there for a while. Yeah.
Go. Ahead.
I can't believe you didn't clickIslands Extreme.
Dream. What about it wasn't me?
That's been an episode before. Episode.
Before it wasn't me. It's your turn.

(47:59):
OK, I know it's a podcast but I have a visual for this one.
OK, are you going to dance? It's going to be fucking YMCA.
What song is this? Jack, Jack and Diane.

(48:26):
I can say, hey, Diane, let's runall behind shady trees.
Dribble off those. Bobby Brooks, let me do.
What I please? Say Oh yeah, life goes on long
after the thrill of living is gone.
Say Oh yeah, life goes on long after the thrill of living is

(48:52):
gone. To walk on.
That's a great. One, it's so.
Good. That's a really great fucking
call. It's not that harvesting.
I almost wrote down sucking on chili dogs.
It's just. Fun.
It's fun to see people get into it.

(49:12):
It's got like a kind of a crab seeing chorus.
Oh yeah, life goes on part. Oh yeah.
You say that here, Yeah. Just scratch my mind because it
was recently, but I did this onein Phoenix and people, you would
think it was Indiana man, like people were.
Showing up. Hell yeah.

(49:32):
How many songs did you sing at karaoke and.
Everyone like 12 people there. I did.
It sounds like I did like. 6 songs I did a lot, but yeah,
this is this is actually the first time.
That was the first time I'd actually done this one though,
and I it's going to be a go to now like.
You don't have a like a song I've.

(49:53):
Had 25 song like list like I have.
I think this is yes, this is nowone of my short listers like
this would be like a no, like I can go to it.
They're going to have it on the list.
Like I try. I wish my skee lo when I can.
I'm not going to pick that because we've best been picked

(50:14):
on this, but that's one of my goto's.
But it's not on a lot of karaokelists, so I can't do it a lot of
the time. But yeah, this one, I mean, I'm
just also, I'm just a good Hoosier.
I'm just a good Hoosier boy. You want to know what's awesome
is that Christian was the first one to pick a song that's been
on more than one. Episode.

(50:38):
How to make a mix plate? You want to know who picked it?
Did I you? Yeah, that's great.
All right, That's not what am I.Saying oh God, I did such a good
job for. Holding this house well, I
should have been looking. For the BBQ episode because I'm
not on karaoke karaoke, if I cango back back time I would switch
my John Mellencamp song on the part on the how to make a mix

(51:00):
plate episode. But.
Wow, I can't believe you did that.
I can't. Believe.
That. You're.
Almost taking another one on this episode.
Yeah. And realize I'm changing my
mind. I'm not embarrassed for you, but
it's embarrassing. I don't.
Remember, I'll make a mix plate I.
Believe you sounds. Like Dang episode. 16.

(51:23):
Man, I'm so glad I really compiled this.
Beautiful. Google doc of all of these songs
perfectly ordered. I have.
I have used it before. You hint that I I'm not even
using it. I have used it.
No I didn't cross reference thislist with it because I've been
too busy to do it and I'm still signing my songs as of like 4

(51:46):
hours ago and I've not had time to cross reference.
So I'm having my lesson and I will be cross referencing from
now on it. Makes it a lot easier when
they're all beautifully organized.
It's a good pick though. I'm stoked for you.
At least I'll take. All.
Take a little bit of comfort andyou didn't realize it at first
either. You questioned enough to look it
up. We both really quick.

(52:10):
We both need course what I believe in a thing called.
Love. Oh yeah.
And I I picked this. 1. Yeah.
I'm looking at it right now, episode 16.
I remember it now, I didn't. Pick this.
OK, it's been BBQ. It's embarrassing.
What about karaoke? At a BBQ?
How about that? OK.
Yeah. First of all on the slide, my

(52:31):
friend. Yeah.
Absolute crowd pleaser. Massive audience participation.
Since You've Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson.
But since you've been gone. Oh yeah, that's a good one.

(53:09):
That's a really good one. Yeah, that is definitely going
to be a crowd pleaser for the entire audience.
Every fucking dude is singing that song.
I like that one. No, I'm not going to.
No, I don't think so. Why not?
I don't know your whole list. Maybe I'll add it, Maybe I'll
add to my long list. It's a good.

(53:29):
One, it's an easy one. To say it's an easy.
One to say. But can I prove a point?
Yeah, please do. Can I say the next one?
Yeah, if you want to go that quick in this.
Exact same name of your Kelly Clarkson.
Yeah. You named mine on my list.
Yeah, absolutely. Cloud Pleaser at all and it's

(54:21):
the same page. Is it really bad?
Same page. I don't.
You know what? That's it.
It's. Not that I don't like country,
that's not true. I feel like I've experienced
more bad before he keeps than I have good before.

(54:44):
You probably, with the amount ofpeople that also say since
you've been gone, you've probably seen the exact same
amount of people that have butchered that song.
Yes, you think. Oh yeah, because it's such a.
Popular song. Oh, this is big one.
Better singer both. What was that show?

(55:05):
American Idol. Both American Idol winners.
Yeah. Kelly Clarkson, Gary Underwood,
Both American Idol winners. But I just when you called out
Terry everyone earlier, it's it's the same thing as.
OK, I haven't looked yet. Which one has more streams?
I think I already know the answer to this.

(55:27):
I'm going to. I think it does.
I think it's going to be two since you've been gone 801
million before he cheats 6. 150 million.
Oh damn, wow, I didn't expect that.
Since you've been gone has more and came out a year.

(55:48):
Only a year before. I mean before streaming was big
so pretty even playing field. But so is before he sheets you.
Oh my God. I've talked about it in fucking
honorable mentions 100 times. Have you heard amigo?
The devil's cover before he sheets.
Are you serious? Put it on your.
List of things to listen to on your one mile drive home.

(56:11):
Was it amigo the devil? His cover up before he cheats is
fucking fantastic. Cool.
Yeah, give that a whirl. I think you're gonna love that.
Have you listened to much, amigo?
The devil? You're gonna need to prioritize
that. I think you'll enjoy that.
I'm. Not sure if I can change since
you've been gone I. Don't know if.

(56:32):
I. Have the confidence to hit a
couple of those notes register or that wait song is just all
falsetto like weird, almost likea gimmicky thing.
I don't know that I could actually sing like I feel like I
don't. Know I.
Don't know that I've ever, I don't think.

(56:52):
I've ever that. Was my last song.
Yeah, that. Was your last song.
Yeah, Lily. Lily over here like.
Son of a bitch. Because he totally what he I
know. But I didn't expect this.
To go so. Far I have honorable mentions.
It did go fast. It went really fast.
It went really fast level where I'm going to draw it out now,
but that went really fast. But the point being.

(57:14):
For 1/2 hour. I've never ever had a karaoke
with you, but I've been in a carwith you a lot.
Yeah. And I just think you're a better
singer than me, so you can run all this stuff.
Off. That means a lot, but I don't
think so cute. I've been a man rides.
I mean, you can sing, you can sing.
No. I Can't Sing.
I'm inconsistent, like there's songs that I've just been

(57:34):
terrible like. You can't do it.
You're going to pull. The first two games and.
Then karaoke list for you. Yeah.
I feel like I have a key that I'm good in and that's it.
And I don't know what that key is.
I just, it's whatever key these songs because like I can hit

(57:58):
them and I'll I'll do something else and it's just bad.
Yeah, so. Yeah, let's do the last song and
then I want to share most memorable karaoke moments that
you've ever experienced. And then we'll do honorable
mention because I have memorablekaraoke moments.
So this my last one might be like the weirdest 1 where I

(58:18):
think you guys are going to be surprised but as.
Surprised as you picking the same song for Tudor Mix.
Yes, full of surprises tonight, but give it a chance because
I've done this multiple times. Always does well because I think
people are really surprised, butthey all know it and it's fun to
sing and it's not hard to sing and it's inside out by EVE 6.

(59:11):
It is a fucking great karaoke. Song it's a.
Great karaoke song, yeah. Dude.
It is, it is. It's as good as mother by.
Dancing because it'll. Play with any crowd.
Inside Out will play with any crowd.
Yeah. You don't have to have liked
that shit at the time. Like everybody knows that song.

(59:33):
He's looking at how many plays it has right now because that's
his way of knowing if it was popular or not.
How many streams does it have? Donnie, tell me.
Tell me what? 200 million.
Two. 100 million. He's listening to it right now,
is what he's doing. I was wait the 6th song?
Yeah, it's fine. It's so good.
It's such a good karaoke song asthe song.

(59:55):
It's just fine. Yes, I agree, but.
OK, they're all kind of wieners,and the guitar player has the
piercing and the bridge of his. Nose and it's annoying.
Here's. The thing.
But he doesn't. He doesn't get up there with me
and perform. See, that's the thing you're
forgetting. Karaoke says go ahead and

(01:00:18):
perform it right now, the fuckers.
I'm not going to. I was thinking about it.
It's very monotone, which works for me.
Well, yeah, yeah. All right.
I'll I'll see where it falls on the mixtape and here's a good

(01:00:39):
measure of this mixtape. And sing along with it and see
if. Just see if you have fun.
Can you? I was going to say here's the
measure this mixtape Christian, you have to sequence this and
I'm curious as to how all this is going to fall in terms of
what you're going to sing because you I would think about
this mixtape is like different times of the night of like
performances. With yours to prove a point.

(01:01:02):
No, it makes sense. You can put it wherever you
want. I know.
But I wish I would. You know, it would be a fucking
bold ass move. You fucking open with since
you've been gone, you close thatbitch down with Carrie
Underwood. That would be a baller move.
Good for you. All right, Iconic karaoke
moment. It has to be your own
performance. It can be something that you've

(01:01:23):
seen just a moment that lives onin in History and karaoke.
Do you want me to go first? You can go.
First, you want me to go first? OK, what?
We were in Louisville and we. Had.
A wild night out in Louisville. We Lauren's hair band is my
morning jacket. So we ended up finding them out

(01:01:43):
they were in town. We went to the security bar in
Louisville and Lauren's like grabbing her strings and she
turns around and like I'm on stage seeing country roads with
Jim James right next to me. And it was like the wildest
experience we've ever had. We got country roads to bring
the house down. Well, he's in a very famous band
in this like shit hole karaoke bar in Louisville, you know?

(01:02:06):
It wasn't full of people that knew who he was.
I think. That's a good karaoke song just
in general. But it was a wild experience
just because like we had, I don't want to say we followed
around, but we went to this likecrazy bar in Alpharena and
friends in the basement of the Breckenridge Mode Hotel in
Louisville. And it was like the wildest
place. And that's where we ran into the

(01:02:26):
old band and they were like, hey, Lord of this karaoke bar,
the karaoke bar. I watched him absolutely Bosh
Bomily, though, like, not good. I can't.
Remember. That oh, that's a bold.
Attempting it it. Was that's when he was like east
overs hit he like sober now, butlike he was.

(01:02:46):
Not sober? Yeah.
Imagine what Bob Marley song youwould try and sing at karaoke.
I should have a sheriff maybe. Maybe.
It's. These balls either way, yeah.
It is wildlife. That's my, that's probably the
most memorable. OK.
Rod. It wasn't me.

(01:03:07):
So I had when I was in college and we were on some kind of
break. Me and much of my friends from
college. We also went to high school
together. So we'd be back in our hometown
and bored as fuck, and we found out that there was like this
hole in the wall, I don't know, 15 minutes from a regre up that
did karaoke. Bunch of good old boys would be

(01:03:28):
in there. You know the crowd.
Oh yeah. So we were assholes.
So we would just do a bunch of stuff to annoy them, like songs,
like songs that we wanted to do,but like, you know, fun,
whatever. Any punk song that they had on
our list, any metal song that they had that we could just
scream and be annoying. But I had this one friend that
he he would always, always do courtesy is red, white, blue by.

(01:03:55):
Toby Keith. Whenever and he totally like he
was totally like making fun of it, but it almost never failed
that dudes red naked to come up to him afterwards and be like
thank you for doing. That man.
And it was the. Following and then I remember.
The first time he did it, I remember the first time he did

(01:04:17):
it, I was legit scared. Like I was nervous.
I'm like, we weren't, I'm not a big dude.
None of my friends were big dudes.
Other people in the bar were bigdudes.
I'm like, we're gonna get our fucking ass kicked and.
Yeah, you know. What?
You're all right. You're all right.
It's just, it's such a fucking stupid song.

(01:04:39):
I'm just like, like the boot boot in your ass part.
He would just like go over the top with it and shit.
And I guess they didn't pick up on the fact that he was like
making fun of it. Like he would sing it like he
was his Team America World Police or something like that.
And it just, I thought we were going to get our ass kicked that
first time and then but then it became a thing.

(01:04:59):
He would just do it every time we go out.
So that's my most, I don't know.I don't really have a lot of
ones, but I just, I still remember that every time I
karaoke, I think about him doingToby Keith.
Yeah, I bet you got a crazy. 1. Who said that it's the karaoke
host that makes the good karaokenight gives you?
Well, I said. Well, I said a bad one can ruin
it, but. Yeah, a good one can take it to

(01:05:21):
the next level. And I remember going to do
karaoke with Reno, had like a bar by his house where he lived
in Chicago and he knew the host.The host name was Hawk.
Like black dude, big dreadlocks,like bigger dude, like kind of a
really dude. Like a big RIP dude.
And he's saying Purple Rain better than Chris.
To where? Like you could hear fucking in

(01:05:43):
drop when he wasn't me, I was like, that's the best
performance I've ever seen of that song with the Super Bowl is
the best performance I've ever seen by someone that isn't the
artist. And I will never fucking forget
that. Second quick one.
Me and Nick Green got the idea that it would be really cool
because our participation is so important that we would do shout

(01:06:05):
by The Isley Brothers and we thought it would bring the house
down and it. Fucking flopped so bad.
First of all, way too long, almost a 5 minute pass a song
and there's so much weird in that song it does not hit I.
Want to watch karaoke? He might have watched it too.
When when Jason Rose and a few people did rock lobster and I

(01:06:29):
don't know if they realized I knew they didn't realize That
song was like 7 fucking minutes long and other than the rock
lobster part is just like weird ass B52's nonsense.
Yeah, like it was horrible. It was one of the worst.
And I think Jason listens. Jason, that's not on you, man.
Like I know where. It used to go.

(01:06:50):
Wrong, I think you thought. That like.
But it was like. I don't know.
It wasn't him. Nobody could carry that song.
That's a terrible. It's a terrible carrier song.
Like nobody. Yeah, that was a bad one.
I also Speaking of the bombing thing, I had the reverse happen
where a buddy of mine picked a song that I think he thought was
going to bomb because he's Do you have friends like that that

(01:07:13):
almost want to do uncomfortable stuff?
Like he's my only one, but like anytime it's like he tries to do
things that. Do other people.
Yes, he's. A Tim Robbins.
Like I want to sing, but he alsowas like, this is not going to
go over well. And it.
Didn't it went over really well?It was Caroline by Outkast and I

(01:07:37):
would never think to karaoke that song.
Any crush I think. That song is actually called
Roses. Sorry Roses.
Yeah yeah, he crushed it. He can sing.
So that helped and he did the you know, Andre 3000 party good
enough, but it it went really well.
I don't like damn it's. Always worse than when you have
somebody that's so good going right before you.

(01:07:58):
Yeah, it's incredible because then it's like, well, you're
just yeah, do do hosting or likesometimes there's people go to
carrier because there's big chance to like, yeah, I mean,
it's kind of fun to watch peoplelike really.
Fucking. Awesome.
And Lauren came with me to Peoria and our friend Shannon
Byrne, she was in the forecast pop punk band way back when.

(01:08:21):
And she said fucking Barracuda Rep 4, Lauren, I say.
And we. Oh God.
Did she crush? That beer crush it like that's.
A great fight. Dude, if you if you can say.
Heart. Yeah, that's fucking one thing
for sure. Heart would be bananas.
Heart would be really good. Who started?

(01:08:45):
I didn't. I had Earl by the chicks.
Yeah, so I did have a country starter fucking jerk that got
asked up by juvenile. Cool.
I wish I could. I'm different on that one, but
that's really I think I would like to see you sing now though,
yeah. I wish I could.
I would like to be able to do that.
And then my last one. This one's just kind of a Piano

(01:09:08):
Man by Billy Joel. Oh my God.
Huge. Crowd pleaser but too many
musical. Breaks.
I have a. Really, Joel, Honorable mention
too, if you do. Yeah, that's a huge crowd
pleaser. Fucking chorus.
You don't. Want to?
Make that the question on the Spotify episode is does you know

(01:09:31):
mandoline? Don't stop.
Believe it. OK, that's very specific bull,
but I will. Actually, answers would be good.
We're supposed to pick the winner.
Oh. Shit, we'll have to do it on
social media because I don't have the list of everybody that
bought apparel. Yeah, all six people that did.
Contest winner. Contest winner.
We'll let you know on social media who you are.

(01:09:52):
Yeah, we're playing by the seat of our pants on this.
One killing it though he's. Fun.
Yeah, I don't mention. I have TLC red light special.
It's like he doesn't fucking listen.
It's like he doesn't fucking listen.
Good thing, good thing. You didn't pick that one.

(01:10:13):
And lastly, which is my absolutefavorite one that I wanted to
make a list because my things were said that I had to switch
around a little bit Karaoke Nickelback rock star.
Yes. We could see that for you.
I could see that for you. Oh, we got you on Netflix?

(01:10:37):
Oh my God, amazing. It's amazing.
Like those guys did nothing wrong.
No, not at all. Nothing wrong, nothing wrong.
They have like six hits in the top, whatever, like on one
record. It's like they're like, but
everybody, I don't think. Anything wrong?
Watch. Watch it.
Watch it. To me, they go through 10 years

(01:10:57):
of fucking. Well, I think they got a lot of
music, yeah, but I don't think it was because they they did
anything wrong. I thought people didn't like
Creed because Scott. Yeah, so it.
Wasn't it's like kind of sad because like people just like
turned up and it was like at onetime it was like the best music
ever. And all of a sudden, roughly in
the early 2000's, the music started and they were like.

(01:11:23):
I feel bad for him.

(01:11:46):
I imagine they still have plentyof money.
They're fine. Yeah, like a real Nickelback
band now. Where'd you want made?
You want a karaoke Rockstar? Yeah, yeah.
