Whose The Hottest? Part 2 / Seether Concert Recap

Send in your music story!

A new logo, a crowded week, and a sprint from the gym set the stage for a sharp left turn: what happens when a customer snaps their fingers like you’re the help? We unpack the small humiliations of service work, the weirdness of tip culture, and the simple grace of eye contact and patience. Then we pivot to pure joy: a full review of The Dome in Virginia Beach—parking that actually works, fast entry, immersive lighting on every level, and a surprise P.O.D. set that jolts the night. Daughtry’s new metal-forward sound crushes with a laser show that keeps the mind buzzing, while Seether’s set triggers some hard truths about cohesion and rehearsal. It’s a live music night that earns a nuanced verdict: overpriced food, excellent venue, and one act leveling up while another coasts on hits.

Of course, we couldn’t resist a rabbit hole. A rogue debate about Helen Keller’s achievements spirals into questions about evidence, pedagogy, and the myths we choose to believe. It’s messy, brash, and oddly revealing about how internet skepticism shapes our sense of the possible. That tension feeds back into our core theme: the social contract—how we treat workers, how we navigate crowded spaces, and how we argue in good faith.

We close by firing up the music bracket. Shakira advances with charisma. James Hetfield carries the flag for rock. Sabrina Carpenter makes the cut. Then the heavyweight bout: Alicia Keys vs Kelly Clarkson. Range, covers, and sheer versatility push Kelly through, setting up a finale that pits pop power against rock legacy. We’re saving the ultimate decision for the live crowd, but we want your vote too.

If you’re into concert reviews, backstage logistics, customer etiquette, and unfiltered debates that somehow land in laughter, you’ll feel right at home. Hit follow, share this with a music-loving friend, and tell us: who should win it all—Kelly Clarkson or James Hetfield?

They would just wave you on tothe next level.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 (19:21):
Okay.

SPEAKER_05 (19:22):
That's then we we get parked, we go downstairs,
and there's a lady that'stelling people where the concert
is.
Because once you get downstairsin the parking garage, you're
like, Oh, I don't know which waythe dome was, and then they're
like, It's right there.
Go that way.

SPEAKER_07 (19:36):
Wow.
Dummy is in front of your face.

SPEAKER_05 (19:41):
So you you do that, right?
You get in, you go down, you gointo the dome.
Uh, getting through is quick.
They were very, very quick toget us through.
As soon as we get in there, agiant bar, like directly as soon
as you walk in, staffed withfour or five people.
So people are getting all theirstuff quick.

(20:01):
The drinks and food, horriblyoverpriced.
I will say that.

SPEAKER_09 (20:06):
Checks out.

SPEAKER_05 (20:07):
Um, we got because we hadn't eaten, so we got uh
two pizzas, two personal sizedpizzas, one cheese, one
pepperoni, one for me, one forher.
And Lindsay got a white claw,and I got a non-alcoholic coke.

SPEAKER_09 (20:24):
So are you pregnant?

SPEAKER_05 (20:26):
Yes, both of you.

SPEAKER_09 (20:29):
Congratulations.

SPEAKER_05 (20:30):
Um so all of that came to$80.
Oh, Lee Moly.
Next time stop at McDonald's.

SPEAKER_07 (20:39):
So that's wild.

SPEAKER_05 (20:40):
The food and drinks were very overpriced.
You you get that at venues,anyways, but even with that
mindset, I thought it wasoverpriced.
So just be aware, like that's myonly gripe.
But the venue is beautiful, it'sit's an incredible place to see
a show.
Um, you walk inside, you go downlike seven stairs, and then

(21:04):
you're inside of the dome, andit is standing room only.
Um, there were some seating inthe back, but I don't know if
those were like personal seatsor what was going on back there.
And then there's balconies.
There's two balconies.
So the dome is three levels.
You could go to all threelevels.
Um, there are bars and bathroomson every level.

(21:25):
We only went to the first floor.
Um, and then we were in the thepit basically.
So it was standing standing roomonly.
So you as soon as you got there,you could get as close as you
wanted.
So yeah.
So for a hundred dollars is howmuch the tickets were.
A hundred dollars.

SPEAKER_10 (21:46):
That's it.

SPEAKER_05 (21:47):
Yeah, it was it, dude.
The venue was priced great, thetickets were priced great, the
food was outrageous.
Um, they had a very nice mercharea.
Uh, the they don't control theprice of the merch, but the
merch was always overpriced.
Like this hat was$35.

SPEAKER_00 (22:02):
Um, it's actually not bad.
Not bad for a hat, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (22:06):
For the for like the quality of hat that it is, it's
really not that bad.
Um and then the venue itself,like they have these these
incredible lights across likeboth sides.
So you're like you're staring atthe stage to the left and to the
right.
There are just these beams oflights that change colors
depending on what the artist, uhlike their color scheme for the

(22:28):
the stage is.

SPEAKER_10 (22:29):
Wow.

SPEAKER_05 (22:30):
Um and then Daughtry had like his own like laser
light show that he put on duringhis set.
Yeah.
Uh all of that being said, PODwas a surprise guest, so that
was pretty incredible.

SPEAKER_07 (22:44):
I don't know what that is.

SPEAKER_05 (22:46):
Uh, you wouldn't know them.
I'm sure Chris, I think youknow, right?
POD.

SPEAKER_00 (22:52):
It's it's another one of those things where if I
heard a song, I'd be like, duh.

SPEAKER_05 (22:56):
Um Youth of the Nation was like their big song.
Yeah.
And then um the song Boom wasanother one.
Uh Taylor, you would know thatsong.

SPEAKER_07 (23:07):

No, nope.

SPEAKER_05 (23:12):
No, this is yes.
Boom.
Here comes the boom.

Uh let me guess.
Boom.
Yes.

SPEAKER_09 (23:22):
Actually, it's quiet time.

SPEAKER_05 (23:25):
So the they were on.
That was a surprise guess that Ididn't know was going to be
there.
That was incredible.
Super excited about that.
Dotry comes out, plays all ofhis new stuff that I was unaware
of.
Um, he's a metal artist now, sohe put on an incredible show
with all of his new stuff.
He played all of his old stuffas well towards the end.

(23:47):
Uh, but but his new stuff wassuper good.
It's like this modern electronicmetal.
Um so it was like it's differentsounding enough that it was
interesting.
And um the the light show kindof just kept my brain super
engaged.
Like I was I was into this lightshow, dude.

SPEAKER_09 (24:07):
Early's ADHD loved that.

SPEAKER_05 (24:10):
Oh, dude, I was like, oh shit.
Oh Cether came out and did theirset, and they played all of the

(24:46):
songs that you wanted to hear.
They played um Broken, theyplayed uh Fake It, they played
Rimedy, they played Gasoline, umjust any song that you think of
that Caether has, they playedit.
So they were huh?

SPEAKER_09 (25:08):
Gasolina.

SPEAKER_05 (25:10):
Nope, not gasolina.
Nope, nope, nope.
Gasolina.

SPEAKER_03 (25:15):
I remember that gasolina.

SPEAKER_05 (25:19):
Love that song.
Not not quite words, not quitethat one.
No, don't know a word.

SPEAKER_00 (25:25):
No, it was gas.
Does it mean petrol?

SPEAKER_10 (25:31):
Got it!

SPEAKER_05 (25:34):
Um, no, it was it was a good time, man.
See, they're I they wereslightly disappointing.
Um, they were very yeah, theywere very sloppy, like they just
weren't like cohesive, theyweren't really like put
together.
Um, in between is this theirfirst concert in a while?
No, that's the crazy part.
Oh, and they've also been likeplaying for 25 years, 30 years.

(25:59):
So like you would just thinkthey'd be a little more put
together.
Yeah, um, but like in betweensongs, they would just like
start playing random shit, andlike none of it went into the
next song.
They would just like almost likeyou know when like you pick up a
guitar.
Well, no, but like when I pickup a guitar and I like start
messing around to like tune itand stuff, like they were doing

(26:20):
that in between every song.
That's wild, yeah.
And then they would just startplaying another song, and like
it just it didn't flow welltogether at all.
And at one point they started toplay a song, and then the singer
was like, No, we're not doingthat one, and they did a
different one, so it just feltlike chaotic and and not like
put together.

(26:41):
Um and like I said, they weresloppy, like the the the songs
were good, they were there, butyou could tell like they just
weren't well rehearsed.
Yeah, um, they did Broken anddid like the worst version of
Broken I've ever heard.
Like I've I've heard people inbars play this song better than
they didn't.

(27:01):
It was it was not good.
Oh but it's like you still getto hear them do all of the songs
that you wanted to hear, youknow?
So yeah, it it was it was alittle disappointing on that
part, but I'm really happy thatI got to see them.
And I'm I'm a fan of Daughtrynow, man.
I think Dottree's super, supergood, super cool.

SPEAKER_07 (27:22):
You you weren't a fan before?

SPEAKER_05 (27:25):
Not really.
No, yeah, all of his songs areabout like going home and
staying home and finding homeand oh shit, yeah.
That's what I want.

SPEAKER_09 (27:34):
I love being home, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (27:36):
Chris, you would love Dottree.
But his new stuff is new.

SPEAKER_03 (27:46):
Yeah, sort of, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (27:48):
You know, he had that song that's like, Well, I'm
going home.
Yeah.
That was him, and then he had uhwasn't really I don't know,
yeah.
Oh then he has some other songs.

SPEAKER_09 (28:02):
I don't think so.

SPEAKER_05 (28:03):
It was I don't that was him.
I don't think you know whoDodtre is, Taylor.

SPEAKER_01 (28:09):
Um these places are getting old.

SPEAKER_09 (28:17):
Really?

SPEAKER_05 (28:18):
Yeah, dude.

SPEAKER_09 (28:19):
I think you're lying.

SPEAKER_05 (28:22):
Yep, that's it.
Home Dodge.
There you go.
Googled, done.

SPEAKER_09 (28:26):
I I definitely thought the same guy that sang
life is a highway.

SPEAKER_05 (28:32):
What?

SPEAKER_09 (28:33):
Because in my head they're the same song.
Like, I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 (28:37):
Which version of that are you?
That's what I was just gonnaask.
Tom Rascal.
Tom Cochrane or Rascal Flats?

SPEAKER_00 (28:42):
Rascal Flats.

SPEAKER_05 (28:44):
Um Tom Cochrane's way better than Rascal Coffee.

SPEAKER_09 (28:46):
Sorry, that's so brave now.

SPEAKER_05 (28:47):
Shut your mouth.

SPEAKER_00 (28:49):
You like Rascal Flats better than Tom Cochrane?
Dude, well, I kind of have to.
I've watched the Cars movie likejoke like 10,000 times.
Like I'm programmed now.
I like oh wow.

SPEAKER_09 (29:07):
Did you guys know that there's a a car's priest?
So that means there's a car'sJesus, so that means there's a
car's religion.

SPEAKER_05 (29:19):
Taylor, I think the whole universe is just like real
people, but cars.

SPEAKER_07 (29:24):
But like cars.

SPEAKER_05 (29:25):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 (29:26):
It's wild.

SPEAKER_05 (29:28):
You know, I bet those cars, uh Taylor, those
cars are allowed to even havejobs.
Isn't that something?

SPEAKER_09 (29:34):
That's wild.
Um, do you know this?
Do you know the scene when umthe girls flash their headlights
to Lightning McQueen?

SPEAKER_05 (29:43):
Yes, it's the best scene in the movie.

SPEAKER_09 (29:45):
It's their boobies.

SPEAKER_05 (29:46):
Yeah, we know.
We're well aware up top.
I still giggle.

SPEAKER_09 (29:51):
Chris, do you think that Helen Keller is real?
Or let me rephrase this.

SPEAKER_00 (29:55):
Do you have already heard this?

SPEAKER_09 (29:59):
Sorry, I know.
We're still on Cedar.
Keep going.

SPEAKER_05 (30:02):
No, no, no.
Cedar's over.
Anyways, the show is great.
And I really recommend the dome.
That's my thing.
Is like if you get a chance, ifyou're listening, if you are in
Virginia, go see a show at thedome.
Like, even if you're unsure ifyou like, if you're like, I
don't really see that music or Idon't want to go, just fucking
go.
It's so good.

SPEAKER_09 (30:21):
Just do it.

SPEAKER_05 (30:22):
Anyways, Helen Keller.

SPEAKER_09 (30:24):
Helen Keller.
Anyways, wonderful.
Um, yeah, so do you think thatHelen Keller did all the things
that they claim that she did?

SPEAKER_00 (30:33):
Yeah.
Why lie?
Taylor, the media.
You guys fall for it.

SPEAKER_03 (30:40):
There's so much evidence.
There's so much evidence.

SPEAKER_09 (30:48):
No, no, we're getting into it.

SPEAKER_05 (30:49):
We're getting into it.
Because I've been thinking aboutit.
And I know it drives me insane.

SPEAKER_09 (30:57):
I know that Lindsay said that she taught her in her
hand.
Like I get that.
But like if she wrote an A inher hand, how does she know
that's an A?
You can't verbally tell hershe's deaf.

SPEAKER_00 (31:13):
To what degree was she deaf and or blind?

SPEAKER_09 (31:16):
Fully.
Fully deaf, fully blind.
That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_00 (31:19):
Yeah, wasn't this back in the time of like oil
lamps and stuff?

SPEAKER_06 (31:24):
No, she she died in like the crazy part, dude.

SPEAKER_05 (31:27):
That's the crazy part.
This is why I argue this point.
She died in 1968.

SPEAKER_00 (31:33):
What?
It wasn't that long ago.
Dude, I've seen like pictureswhere it looks like she's in
like old time.
Maybe they just dressed her out.

SPEAKER_05 (31:41):
They wanted like so she died in 1968 at the age of
87.
So I don't know the math.
Do the math on this.

SPEAKER_07 (31:54):
1920.

SPEAKER_05 (31:56):
Wait.
No, that also doesn't add up,Taylor.

SPEAKER_00 (31:59):
No, she'd have been like 18.
Yeah.
So that would have been oillamps and stuff.
Maybe those are the pictures ordrawings I've seen of her.
So what year?

SPEAKER_09 (32:09):
What 1960?

SPEAKER_05 (32:10):
1968.
So what year what year would shehave been like five?

SPEAKER_09 (32:17):
1968 minus.
How old was she?

SPEAKER_05 (32:20):
87.

SPEAKER_09 (32:22):
So I'm doing 1968 minus 87, right?

SPEAKER_05 (32:25):
Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_09 (32:27):
1881.
So there were.

SPEAKER_05 (32:29):
That's when she was born, 1881.

SPEAKER_09 (32:31):
So 1886.

SPEAKER_05 (32:35):
So 1886, she would have been like five years old.

SPEAKER_09 (32:39):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (32:40):
Right?
So she she wasn't born this way.

SPEAKER_09 (32:43):
It was an accident that at 19 months old.
It was an illness.

SPEAKER_05 (32:48):
Or yeah, an illness, yeah.

SPEAKER_09 (32:50):
That she went fully deaf and fully blind at 19
months.

SPEAKER_05 (32:53):
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

SPEAKER_09 (32:55):
She doesn't know how to do things at 19 months.
Dude, I'm gonna die on thishill.
I think she was real, and I'msure she did some things.
I don't think she wrote a wholebook.
I I think that maybe she helpedin some capacity.

SPEAKER_00 (33:11):
She did not write the book.
It's like all these presidentsand stuff who write books,
they're not writing books.

SPEAKER_09 (33:18):
So that's what I'm saying.
I I think that things have beenexaggerated.
Do you see what I'm saying?
That they're like, oh my gosh,no, no plane.

SPEAKER_03 (33:26):
And I'm like how it works.
That's how it works.

SPEAKER_09 (33:29):
I just don't believe that.

SPEAKER_03 (33:32):
There's so much evidence because there are so
many pictures of Ellen Keller.

SPEAKER_09 (33:36):
But they were like she flew a plane, but all she
really did was touch the littleplane thing for 30 seconds.
She didn't fly a plane.

SPEAKER_00 (33:43):
Because technically, for 30 seconds, she was flying
the plane.

SPEAKER_09 (33:47):
Alright, Chris, listen.
Technically, yeah, but like it'snot a lie.
Yeah, if you I guess if you goon a technicality, but when
you're like, yeah, she was deafand blind and she flew a plane.

SPEAKER_00 (34:01):
You know what I mean?
It'd be different if they saidshe performed brain surgery.
I'd be like, Oh dude, Taylor.

SPEAKER_05 (34:07):
Taylor, not only did she write a book, she wrote so
many books.

SPEAKER_09 (34:12):
She didn't write nothing.

SPEAKER_03 (34:13):
There are so many books that she wrote.

SPEAKER_09 (34:18):
She is deaf and blind.
She literally can't do that.
Like, how did they teach her?
I know that they're like, Yeah,we did it in the palm of her
hand, but how does she know thatthis is an A?

SPEAKER_00 (34:30):
Have you not seen the people?
Have you not seen the peoplewith the disabilities who have
like no arms and there's nolegs, they're just feet coming
out of their torso, and likethey live on their own stories,
and they live on their own.
These people they wash dishes,they know I know that.

SPEAKER_09 (34:47):
That makes sense to me.
What I'm saying is, I don'tunderstand.
I think Helen Keller could dothings.
That's not what I'm saying.
I don't understand how theytaught her to write or like
readily braille.
Like, how did they know that sheunderstood that?
Do you see what I'm saying?
In the New Yorker, verbally tellthem.

SPEAKER_05 (35:06):
Here's an entire article in The New Yorker
explaining how she learned howto write Taylor.

SPEAKER_09 (35:12):
But I'm saying, like, I'm saying my brain
doesn't comprehend that.

SPEAKER_05 (35:16):
Because your brain is wrong.

SPEAKER_09 (35:19):
If she's deaf and blind, and they claim she was
they claim she was fully deaf,then I don't believe she's fully
deaf or blind.

SPEAKER_05 (35:27):
I bet, I bet there's a video of her doing this stuff.
Hold on.

SPEAKER_09 (35:32):
I'm just saying I don't believe that she was fully
deaf then.
Do you know how I mean?
Like the blind, I I get, but howcan you explain to her that this
is an A other than just writingit in her hand?

SPEAKER_01 (35:46):
Here's a video from 1954 of Helen Keller speaking
out against something.

SPEAKER_09 (35:53):
She can talk?
Dude, I'm if you let's watch it.
But do you want to talk aboutpulling it up right now?
Do you understand what I'msaying, though?
Like if she went deaf and blindat 19 months old, like think
about your baby.
Your baby knows how to say dog,mom, and dad.
Or watch on a good day.

SPEAKER_05 (36:16):
Pulling it up right now.

SPEAKER_09 (36:17):
I just I don't believe that it's real.
She's lying.
She she was fibbing.
She wanted to get out ofpreschool.

SPEAKER_00 (36:24):
Okay, I wasn't mistaken.
I uh I actually played the HelenKeller experience uh game for
the 360.
I'll just win it to Harley.
You ready for this?
You ready?

SPEAKER_02 (36:41):
Yeah, I'm ready.

SPEAKER_05 (36:42):
This is Helen Keller right here.

SPEAKER_02 (36:48):
She does not see the room or the book that she's
reading.
She sees nothing.
She does not hear the rustlingof the curtains behind her.
She hears nothing.
She is deaf, deaf, and blind.
If you enter her room, she willknow it.
Your lightest footfall will tellher you are coming.

(37:09):
She will even tell her who youare if she knows you, if she
knows her old friend, PollyThompson.
Polly has been with Helen Kellerforty years.
She's been Helen's onlycompanion.
Helen's eyes and ears are theworld.
She talks with Helen by a fingersystem that each letter has a
sign.

(37:29):
She's barely touching her hand.
Reaching out beyond her dark andsoundless night, Helen depends
most on touch.
Two other senses remain.
There is taste and there issmell.
Since the scent of objects andplaces and people tells Helen

(37:51):
much that we learn with eyes andears.
But her hand is such link to theouter world, with College, with
Anne, the pastime helper, witheveryone she encounters.

SPEAKER_09 (38:05):
Okay, so Helen Keller's not speaking.
There's no way that's it's not,she's not really like I just
don't understand how they couldteach her like words.
I don't understand that.

SPEAKER_05 (38:23):
I just don't think you were smart enough to do it
to it up too.

SPEAKER_09 (38:29):
I understand if you are blind, obviously you can
understand words and they canteach you things because you can
still hear.
If you are deaf, I understandthat you can still read because
you have eyes, right?
But like if like kids who havegone deaf, you've heard deaf

(38:52):
people talk.
Do you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_00 (38:54):
Don't do yes, we've all heard.
Yeah, don't do the impression.
Don't do it.

SPEAKER_09 (38:59):
No, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_00 (39:00):
What are you doing, Taylor?

SPEAKER_09 (39:03):
Holy shit, dude.
I just don't understand.
It's not she's I think she'sreal, I just don't think she
wrote a book.

unknown (39:10):
Taylor, don't do it.

SPEAKER_09 (39:12):
I'm not doing it.
I'm not gonna get canceled.
I have to keep my job.
I just don't know.

SPEAKER_05 (39:16):
They don't listen to the show, so I I think it's a
good thing that you didn't, butI think we're we're okay.

SPEAKER_09 (39:21):
No, I it takes one customer.

SPEAKER_05 (39:23):
We're still working on getting this show on braille.

SPEAKER_09 (39:26):
Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_00 (39:29):
Right after this, we have to get back on topic.
So my uncle told me the funnieststory, right?
So he goes to King's Dominion inhigh school for band, probably.
I don't know, right?
Okay, and so they go to King'sDominion.
Nobody said it was, I guessthere was a huge gathering of
deaf people, and he didn't knowit until they got on the ride,

(39:52):
and everyone started yelling atthe same time.
Oh no, oh no, these high schoolkids, you know what I mean?
Like yeah, fish bags.
Oh no, he was just he was sofreaked out.
So that's fair.

(40:13):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 (40:14):
Oh no, but like people also don't think that
Stevie Wonder is blind.
Like he's just thinking that.

SPEAKER_00 (40:21):
I mean, where are these people meeting that you're
referring to?

SPEAKER_05 (40:25):
Taylor's house.
It's just Taylor.

SPEAKER_00 (40:27):
Are you in a cult?

SPEAKER_09 (40:28):
No, I think that Stevie Wonder is blind.
I think that Helen Keller isdeaf and blind.
I just don't think she wrote allof those.
Anywho, I stand by that becauseI just I don't think it's true.

SPEAKER_00 (40:40):
Is anybody gonna bring up the fact that she's
like a pretty old woman?
I mean, like, she's pretty, sheis, as an old woman, like us.

SPEAKER_04 (40:48):
Like, man, I agree.
I agree.

SPEAKER_00 (40:50):
What are you saying?
Helen Helen Keller could get itwhen she was younger.
She's she, I mean, I don't knowif she's Helen Keller is Chris's
type.
She would be a mom I'd like tofinance a car with.

SPEAKER_09 (41:00):
Let's find out.
Let's find out.
How would she know what washappening?
That would be a jarringexperience.

SPEAKER_03 (41:06):
I don't know.
But she could say, dude, we'reso close.
We're walking such an edge rightnow.
You keep catching me off guard.
I'm about to say some crazyshit.

SPEAKER_08 (41:18):
Helen Keller's on the next SVU episode.

SPEAKER_05 (41:21):
Just so everyone here knows, I had a fantastic
joke just now and I didn't sayit.
I'm a good person.
God damn it.
I'm a good person.

SPEAKER_09 (41:28):
You are a good person.

SPEAKER_05 (41:31):
Also, yeah, Helen Keller was a pretty lady in her
20s.
I agree with this statement.
I fact checked it.

SPEAKER_09 (41:39):
Well, pull up a picture, don't be shy.

SPEAKER_05 (41:42):
Well, I don't know if you'll be able to really see
it.

SPEAKER_09 (41:48):

SPEAKER_05 (48:01):
And herpes.
Uh so Usher came under fire froma lady who claimed that he gave
her herpes, knowing that he hadherpes, and he didn't disclose
it before having relations withher.
But that's a claim.
It was a claim that turned outto be completely true.

(48:24):
There were several women thatcame forward and they were like,
yes, he got us too.
Well, so then he came out andand admitted that he he was
aware that he had herpes.
Like, I think he ended up payingout.
I'm not positive on that, sodon't quote me on it.

SPEAKER_08 (48:41):
That's definitely easier.

SPEAKER_05 (48:44):
It is, it is like it there was a whole thing about
it.

SPEAKER_08 (48:47):
Yeah, like you can go to jail.

SPEAKER_05 (48:49):
That was one of the that was one of the first times
that somebody came out.
Usher was one of the first onesto come out against the whole
Diddy thing.
So yeah.
Anyways, um if you're trying toclaim our vote, it's still
Usher.
This is where this is whereChris was like, Yeah, I was

(49:11):

SPEAKER_09 (49:12):
You didn't I was already sold, and you just are
keep you keep selling the deal.

SPEAKER_05 (49:25):
I can't let Metallica die in this cesspool
of pop artists.
That yeah.
Alright, so we've got SabrinaCarpenter versus Benson Boone.
Was it Benson Boone?

SPEAKER_09 (49:43):
I think so.

SPEAKER_05 (49:43):
Yes, it was.
It was it was Benson Boon.

SPEAKER_09 (49:45):
Sabrina Carpenter all the way.
We don't even need to argue.

SPEAKER_05 (49:47):
Agreed.
Oh, okay.
Alright.

SPEAKER_09 (49:50):
You're going Benson Boone?

SPEAKER_05 (49:52):
No, I don't like either one of them.
I was gonna let you guys decide.

SPEAKER_09 (49:55):
She looks so pretty here.
This is such a good picture ofher.

SPEAKER_05 (49:59):
She looks like Dolly Barton.

SPEAKER_09 (50:00):
Actually, I hope she's happy.
Okay, Dolly Barton's stunning.
She kind of looks like TaylorSwift.

SPEAKER_04 (50:07):
Why is he why are you like ready to fight today?
Because I had an awful day ofwork.
I'm coming in.
So combative.

SPEAKER_09 (50:17):

SPEAKER_05 (50:19):
No, you.

SPEAKER_09 (50:21):
No, you missed what Chris said.
Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 (50:26):
Yeah, I'm not sure I'm not good at keeping track.

SPEAKER_09 (50:29):
Or or hers are real though.
Dolly's aren't.

SPEAKER_05 (50:33):
Yeah.
Anywho.
Uh so we have Ryan Goslingversus Oh, wait, no, you guys
went Alicia Keys, right?
Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 (50:45):
Yeah, of course.

SPEAKER_05 (50:46):
Sorry.
Alicia Keys versus Ooh, KellyClarkson.
This might be the this might bethe toughest one, honestly.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 (50:56):
Kelly Clarkson.

SPEAKER_05 (50:58):
I do agree, Kelly Clarkson.

SPEAKER_00 (51:02):
I mean, however, watching her come up, but like
in in you know, seeing it live.
Yeah, Alicia Keys was before mytime, but I grew up with it, and
I love Alicia Keys.

SPEAKER_05 (51:13):
I also love Alicia Keys.
I think she has a fantasticvoice.
Yes.
It's tough to put these twotogether in the same place.

SPEAKER_09 (51:23):
I think they are both unbelievably talented, but
I think Kelly Clarkson's rangeof things that she can do is
better than Alicia Keys.

SPEAKER_05 (51:33):
That is fair.

SPEAKER_09 (51:34):
I have not found a cover of Kelly Clarkson's that I
did not like.
Or dare I say was better thanthe original.

SPEAKER_05 (51:42):
Should I ask for a tiebreaker from the other room?

SPEAKER_09 (51:45):
Yeah, probably.

SPEAKER_00 (51:49):
Was it really a tie?
There's three of us, but stillask.

SPEAKER_09 (51:53):
Yeah, I think you might make it a tie.

SPEAKER_00 (51:58):
Well, I am undecided.
Same here.

SPEAKER_09 (52:01):
I'm I'm gonna go Alicia Keys just because but
your wife sent me a video ofTibby, we'll get out with a loud
hands in the air like you justdon't care.

SPEAKER_05 (52:15):
Um, see, so I was I was leaning um more towards
Alicia Keys, but based off ofpure talent, but like they're so
they're so that's what I'msaying.

SPEAKER_09 (52:32):
And they're also both stunning.

SPEAKER_05 (52:35):
Do you know what I mean?
Absolutely, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_09 (52:37):
Like I don't know, it is really hard.
I do think that they are both sounbelievably talented, but I do
think for me, Kelly Clarksonwould take the cake on that one.
Barely.

SPEAKER_05 (52:48):
I mean like barely the song Fallen by Alicia Keys.

SPEAKER_09 (52:53):
I would love to hear Kelly Clarkson and Alicia Keys
do a duet.

SPEAKER_05 (52:57):
That should happen.
I'm surprised that it hasn't.

SPEAKER_09 (53:00):
Yeah, you know what's crazy, and I hate
bringing light to this person,so like just keep that in mind.
But no, Lizzo has a really greatvoice.
Like, I forgot that she's liketheatrically trained.

SPEAKER_05 (53:18):
In a minute, I'm gonna need a nemanima, I'm an
emma.

SPEAKER_09 (53:22):
In a minute, I'm gonna need a nemanemon.

SPEAKER_05 (53:26):
I think I think Lizzo is a minion.

SPEAKER_06 (53:31):
She is.
She is.
No, I I hate bringing like toher.

SPEAKER_05 (53:37):
Like the opposite of what?
That's that's a that's ahorrible joke.
Um I don't I don't like Lizzo.
I don't like Lizzo.
I mean her voice isn't her voiceis fine.
Her voice is fine.

SPEAKER_09 (53:50):
No, I just forgot her her and Kelly Clarkson did a
duet.
And I was like, oh, I forgotthat you're not like your voice
isn't obnoxious all the time.
Do you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_05 (53:59):
Right, right.

SPEAKER_09 (54:00):
I was like, oh, like you can sing.

SPEAKER_05 (54:02):

room, we're gonna stare atShagira.

And the other one's James Hetfield.

SPEAKER_08 (56:23):

SPEAKER_05 (58:09):
Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_09 (58:11):

And then we had Sabrina, wouldbe against either Alicia or
Kelly, but we didn't agree uponone of those two.

SPEAKER_05 (58:22):

between Alicia and KellyClarkson.

SPEAKER_01 (58:28):
