Speaker 7 (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 3 (00:53):
Yeah, exactly. It rarely happens in this room, but there's
experience it.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
You all know each other. That's why.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Yeah, we're contempt twenty seven years beating the living crap
out of each other.
Speaker 7 (01:04):
Yeah, you guys are like this big marriage, you know
like that. That's it's beautiful. You guys probably see each
other more than you see partners.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
It's a first marriage, though, I mean, it's a it's
a paid marriage. It's a contractual, paid marriage.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
A lot of money out of them.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
If we get divorced.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I think, no, you get money while you're still with me.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
You know what, I want to stay here.
Speaker 7 (01:23):
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.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Get it off right.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I just did a booger check for someone in this room.
I won't say yes it was.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Blue lenose, because you know we got Paul and going
on here in New York.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Yes, we do.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
And I'm like, I've got a bloom my nose. We
have guests I've never met, and you did you check
for bogers? You do what they do, and we're gonna
get into the podcast. I swear to god, you don't.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
We don't have.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
This is what we do on our podcast. I have
found that the women of our show, like Daniel and
Gandhian specific they will like, hey, can you sniff? They'll
sniff each other's under.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Arms, absolutely got it, like onions. Yeah, I'm like, what
the hell are you doing rubbing onions under their arms? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Everyone around here?
Speaker 3 (02:08):
So Casey and Kevin Diviner, here are you both from
Staten Island or yeah, well Kevin split his time in
Brooklyn or you know, the early party was straight because
but but the thing that I love about him is
for a while he was claiming Brooklyn and then he
was like, I'm going to claim both because not a
lot of Staten Islanders who leave do that. And I
(02:28):
give him a lot of credit for that. He was like, no,
I am also, I'm from here. He literally has a
song and he sings that lyric. But the Jost families
originally from Stetland. Oh, Staten Island before the gang Plank
was built, before Brooklyn. Yeah, exactly. I don't come for
Italians like that, no, I know. Yeah, we go back
so far. Like my grandfather's grandfather was born in Staten Island,
(02:51):
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.
My husband families 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
Devon have a podcast called Give It a Chance, which
(03:11):
is now we welcome them with open arms into the
Elvis d the Elvis drin.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
And what did we get into.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Wait afore 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,
(03:45):
go go to episode one of Give It a Chance
with what it was how You Remind Me by Nickelback, which,
as you know, there's this weird hatred for Nickelback.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
It's weird.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Hold that thought were to get to that because you
gotta yeah, no, I want to hear fold her into
your Okay. So it started with that podcast.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Well, yeah, you know.
Speaker 7 (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 from my wife and I and
(04:52):
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 no song.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
It's like it's the.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Day of your wedding and you dance with your mom.
Like I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
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 look a website for best songs
to dance, 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,
(05:26):
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
a comedic edge and some music background, so we can
really break it apart and talk about the merits of it.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Okay, So episode one of Give It a Chance with
Casey Jose and Kevin Devin nickelbab how you remind me
huge hit? By the way huge Nickelback because many hits,
but they are just doesn't matter the song, it's them,
they're not unlike. So let's go to Gandhi. Oh see
(06:00):
you like what crawled up your butt? That made you
hate Nickelback so much? Is it because everyone else hates them?
Speaker 1 (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.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
So I felt like they were harassing.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
We're the problem.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
We are the problem.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
There did that?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Also? I really don't like his delivery that made it.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Listen to the vocal.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
They call that puke voice radio when DJ's do it.
So I let them get away with it.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
It's kind of true. It is that guy who's just
like like you're going down your commute, you're working. It's
a growl in a way.
Speaker 7 (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.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
He's quiet, he screams there's a rain.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Yeah, yeah, there's a 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 6 (07:03):
I think.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Sound and you know a Nickelback song when you hear it,
so there's a positive.
Speaker 8 (07:10):
Absolutely 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 3 (07:24):
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, 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
(07:46):
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 point, is definitely very polarizing,
especially in the culinary world, the same way Nickelback is.
He's actually like a great analog exactly.
Speaker 7 (08:03):
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.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
That's what I'm saying. On the back of his head,
things like that.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
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 time.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
You're going to say, what a coward?
Speaker 5 (08:32):
No, do you know that we helped him get his show?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
I believe it because he came up here.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
He was one of the final contestants and we had
to vote on the chicken palm, and we picked him
and he got a show.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
But that day he did not wear that silk shirt
with the flames of different in the pilot you mean
or here here anyway? Okay? So okay, So back to
the music though, So okay, it all started with Nickelback. Congratulations,
that was your that was your anchor song. So what
of the songs that we've heard? Okay?
Speaker 7 (09:01):
Can you 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 3 (09:07):
Okay, please don't. We've got it.
Speaker 7 (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 3 (09:20):
You have kids, yes, okay, So none of us are
really victims of that because your kids are too babytency
this way, Hold on, Elvis, find something you like about
it go nothing. It reminds me of the one eight
(09:40):
seven seven Cars for a kid. Yeah, it reminds me
by the way they're raising money for a great organization.
It's just that song makes me want to take a host.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
To do the kids and buildings building out.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Oh yeah, you can sell everything. So you did an
entire podcast about baby sharp ye yes, and a half
hours long.
Speaker 7 (10:02):
A dissertation yeah, uh yeah, 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 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, you know, and I
give it a lot of credit for that.
Speaker 3 (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 3 (10:55):
Daniel as a mother, Yeah, you understand the need for
a baby show.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Of course.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
I 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.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
And that's the first step to world peace exactly.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
How about you just turning this on Casey jose and
Kevin Devin Aer 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 5 (11:26):
Is there ever a 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.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
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.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Good are you feeling Hella good?
Speaker 5 (11:46):
So?
Speaker 7 (11:50):
And for me it's a 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 rule, Like there's there's this drama
with the bassist and her.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I love that whole story.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
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.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
And Kevin, you couldn't find anything redeeming of it. There's
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, you know, if I was really hot Gwen.
(12:36):
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, Gwen 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. See I can hear Madonna.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Doing that, that's right, and a lot of other people
to Rianna. I could see Rihanna doing.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
It absolutely alright. 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?
Speaker 4 (13:16):
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Okay, Well, fam 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 1 (13:30):
Here we go.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
It was almost Christmas. There us stood in another.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
Trying to buy that last gift to really Christmas. Stand
and ride in front of me, little boy waiting anxiously.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
He's got a little boy, boy.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Jes hand.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
Yeah, Paris shoes.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Hey, listen closely and it's close moan and all.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
He was dirty from me to time, the dy kings.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
I couldn't believe what I heard him say, Sir, I
want to buy your shoes for my mama things. It's
Christmas Eve and these shoes.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Aredjust her son.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Could you hurry, sir?
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Daddy says, that's not much time.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
You see, she's been sick for quiet while bloody shoes
for me. A smile and one or two the beodiful
if mom eats Jeesuss.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
All right, let's wear Can we slowly unpacked this bag? Okay,
that's a lot of It's fantastic.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
This guy has 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 rang, and people think I'm satan. I'm like, whatever,
(15:32):
go ahead, Christmas shoes. Well, my first, my first chan
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 h John Cougar, Mellon Camp, Bruce Springsteen thing,
but definitely not either of those.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
With a John Tesh producer.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
That with those people. The text crime, 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 6 (16:15):
No.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
What I would say is also musically, key change straight
out of the verse to the chorus is an interesting choice.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
I give them points. I love a key change. Yeah,
and they did it.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
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 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 3 (16:44):
Keep in mind, shoes on the sales right, they don't
have many sizes left.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
I'm assuming Also, he was a little kid, so he
might have been able to see the sizes his eyes
are caken. Be I pulled.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
If I pulled one hundred children, they wouldn't know their parents' shoes.
One million, one million, six billion children, we know they
was great question the last but the last line about
if they meet Jesus tonight. Right, that's Daddy said she
may meet Jesus tonight. So we got get the Jesus
(17:14):
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 4 (17:24):
I don't think this was done at I've known about
this song for a long time, Okay years, I'll.
Speaker 7 (17:31):
Be honest, Like, if human beings are going to keep
writing songs like this, let's just let the AI do it.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (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. I'll say this.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
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.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
I like that.
Speaker 7 (17:55):
I like the dichotomy between like this like real clean
music and I've got a voice this right, It's like
I'm I'm like, I'm an everyman even though my music
is angelic.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
You know.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Also, there's something to be said for the fact linear
storytelling is a dying art, and that thing really lays
out the groundwork.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Well he did, I mean he had all the work
for 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 that you can't find a song, Christmas Shoes is
waiting for you.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
If you want to guess, we're ready. Come on, let's
do it.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Oh that's good. Yeah, that's great, we'll come here. I
won't give it a chance. 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.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Us no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
It was a song about a bush crash.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Everybody died, but they.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Didn't die exactly.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
You hear that one?
Speaker 7 (18:52):
Do we have time to give them a taste of that?
Say that it was a bus that crashed and everyone died,
but everyone didn't die.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
It was a bus full of kids. They were going
on a field trip or something.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Christmas bus.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Yeah, Christmas bus.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
And kreened 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 4 (19:12):
It's Yellow Jacket season three.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Wow, tell you what. We'll save that for next time.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (19:18):
Okay, So we welcome you to our world and uh no,
we really appreciate it, longtime fans of you. And I'm
just so excited to be part of this, really truly honored.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Well, thanks for giving us a chance? Yeah yeah, so
Casey jo justin Kevin Devine. The podcast is called give
It a Chance? How many? How many episodes are you
in where we've recorded like over ten? But we we're
just gonna keep going until, you you know, cut us off,
until the money to stop giving us.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I have submissions. How can I submit them?
Speaker 8 (19:46):
What?
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Oh my god, Creed, Oh that's great? That one, great one?
If she makes that noise, I got HIV?
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Are you scared of anybody's like fan base?
Speaker 7 (19:58):
Like you know, well 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):
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 3 (20:27):
I have everyone all right, They're going to come after
you totally 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. That was truly just trying to dig
myself out of the holes of Casey Kevin. Thank you
(20:48):
for king the podcast is. Give it a chance. Check
it out.

Speaker 5 (00:39):
Nice skin?
Speaker 6 (00:40):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (00:40):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Skin hair? All right, gentlemen, thanks for coming. Have a
nice day.
Speaker 7 (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 3 (00:53):
Yeah, exactly. It rarely happens in this room, but there's
experience it.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
You all know each other. That's why.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Yeah, we're contempt twenty seven years beating the living crap
out of each other.
Speaker 7 (01:04):
Yeah, you guys are like this big marriage, you know
like that. That's it's beautiful. You guys probably see each
other more than you see partners.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
It's a first marriage, though, I mean, it's a it's
a paid marriage. It's a contractual, paid marriage.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
A lot of money out of them.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
If we get divorced.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I think, no, you get money while you're still with me.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
You know what, I want to stay here.
Speaker 7 (01:23):
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.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Get it off right.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I just did a booger check for someone in this room.
I won't say yes it was.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Blue lenose, because you know we got Paul and going
on here in New York.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Yes, we do.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
And I'm like, I've got a bloom my nose. We
have guests I've never met, and you did you check
for bogers? You do what they do, and we're gonna
get into the podcast. I swear to god, you don't.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
We don't have.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
This is what we do on our podcast. I have
found that the women of our show, like Daniel and
Gandhian specific they will like, hey, can you sniff? They'll
sniff each other's under.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Arms, absolutely got it, like onions. Yeah, I'm like, what
the hell are you doing rubbing onions under their arms? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Everyone around here?
Speaker 3 (02:08):
So Casey and Kevin Diviner, here are you both from
Staten Island or yeah, well Kevin split his time in
Brooklyn or you know, the early party was straight because
but but the thing that I love about him is
for a while he was claiming Brooklyn and then he
was like, I'm going to claim both because not a
lot of Staten Islanders who leave do that. And I
(02:28):
give him a lot of credit for that. He was like, no,
I am also, I'm from here. He literally has a
song and he sings that lyric. But the Jost families
originally from Stetland. Oh, Staten Island before the gang Plank
was built, before Brooklyn. Yeah, exactly. I don't come for
Italians like that, no, I know. Yeah, we go back
so far. Like my grandfather's grandfather was born in Staten Island,
(02:51):
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.
My husband families 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
Devon have a podcast called Give It a Chance, which
(03:11):
is now we welcome them with open arms into the
Elvis d the Elvis drin.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
And what did we get into.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Wait afore 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,
(03:45):
go go to episode one of Give It a Chance
with what it was how You Remind Me by Nickelback, which,
as you know, there's this weird hatred for Nickelback.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
It's weird.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Hold that thought were to get to that because you
gotta yeah, no, I want to hear fold her into
your Okay. So it started with that podcast.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Well, yeah, you know.
Speaker 7 (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 from my wife and I and
(04:52):
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 no song.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
It's like it's the.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Day of your wedding and you dance with your mom.
Like I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
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 look a website for best songs
to dance, 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,
(05:26):
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
a comedic edge and some music background, so we can
really break it apart and talk about the merits of it.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Okay, So episode one of Give It a Chance with
Casey Jose and Kevin Devin nickelbab how you remind me
huge hit? By the way huge Nickelback because many hits,
but they are just doesn't matter the song, it's them,
they're not unlike. So let's go to Gandhi. Oh see
(06:00):
you like what crawled up your butt? That made you
hate Nickelback so much? Is it because everyone else hates them?
Speaker 1 (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.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
So I felt like they were harassing.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
We're the problem.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
We are the problem.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
There did that?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Also? I really don't like his delivery that made it.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Listen to the vocal.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
They call that puke voice radio when DJ's do it.
So I let them get away with it.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
It's kind of true. It is that guy who's just
like like you're going down your commute, you're working. It's
a growl in a way.
Speaker 7 (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.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
He's quiet, he screams there's a rain.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Yeah, yeah, there's a 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 6 (07:03):
I think.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Sound and you know a Nickelback song when you hear it,
so there's a positive.
Speaker 8 (07:10):
Absolutely 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 3 (07:24):
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, 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
(07:46):
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 point, is definitely very polarizing,
especially in the culinary world, the same way Nickelback is.
He's actually like a great analog exactly.
Speaker 7 (08:03):
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.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
That's what I'm saying. On the back of his head,
things like that.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
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 time.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
You're going to say, what a coward?
Speaker 5 (08:32):
No, do you know that we helped him get his show?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
I believe it because he came up here.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
He was one of the final contestants and we had
to vote on the chicken palm, and we picked him
and he got a show.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
But that day he did not wear that silk shirt
with the flames of different in the pilot you mean
or here here anyway? Okay? So okay, So back to
the music though, So okay, it all started with Nickelback. Congratulations,
that was your that was your anchor song. So what
of the songs that we've heard? Okay?
Speaker 7 (09:01):
Can you 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 3 (09:07):
Okay, please don't. We've got it.
Speaker 7 (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 3 (09:20):
You have kids, yes, okay, So none of us are
really victims of that because your kids are too babytency
this way, Hold on, Elvis, find something you like about
it go nothing. It reminds me of the one eight
(09:40):
seven seven Cars for a kid. Yeah, it reminds me
by the way they're raising money for a great organization.
It's just that song makes me want to take a host.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
To do the kids and buildings building out.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Oh yeah, you can sell everything. So you did an
entire podcast about baby sharp ye yes, and a half
hours long.
Speaker 7 (10:02):
A dissertation yeah, uh yeah, 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 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, you know, and I
give it a lot of credit for that.
Speaker 3 (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 3 (10:55):
Daniel as a mother, Yeah, you understand the need for
a baby show.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Of course.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
I 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.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
And that's the first step to world peace exactly.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
How about you just turning this on Casey jose and
Kevin Devin Aer 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 5 (11:26):
Is there ever a 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.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
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.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Good are you feeling Hella good?
Speaker 5 (11:46):
So?
Speaker 7 (11:50):
And for me it's a 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 rule, Like there's there's this drama
with the bassist and her.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I love that whole story.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
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.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
And Kevin, you couldn't find anything redeeming of it. There's
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, you know, if I was really hot Gwen.
(12:36):
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, Gwen 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. See I can hear Madonna.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Doing that, that's right, and a lot of other people
to Rianna. I could see Rihanna doing.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
It absolutely alright. 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?
Speaker 4 (13:16):
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Okay, Well, fam 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 1 (13:30):
Here we go.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
It was almost Christmas. There us stood in another.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
Trying to buy that last gift to really Christmas. Stand
and ride in front of me, little boy waiting anxiously.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
He's got a little boy, boy.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Jes hand.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
Yeah, Paris shoes.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Hey, listen closely and it's close moan and all.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
He was dirty from me to time, the dy kings.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
I couldn't believe what I heard him say, Sir, I
want to buy your shoes for my mama things. It's
Christmas Eve and these shoes.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Aredjust her son.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Could you hurry, sir?
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Daddy says, that's not much time.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
You see, she's been sick for quiet while bloody shoes
for me. A smile and one or two the beodiful
if mom eats Jeesuss.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
All right, let's wear Can we slowly unpacked this bag? Okay,
that's a lot of It's fantastic.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
This guy has 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 rang, and people think I'm satan. I'm like, whatever,
(15:32):
go ahead, Christmas shoes. Well, my first, my first chan
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 h John Cougar, Mellon Camp, Bruce Springsteen thing,
but definitely not either of those.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
With a John Tesh producer.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
That with those people. The text crime, 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 6 (16:15):
No.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
What I would say is also musically, key change straight
out of the verse to the chorus is an interesting choice.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
I give them points. I love a key change. Yeah,
and they did it.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
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 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 3 (16:44):
Keep in mind, shoes on the sales right, they don't
have many sizes left.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
I'm assuming Also, he was a little kid, so he
might have been able to see the sizes his eyes
are caken. Be I pulled.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
If I pulled one hundred children, they wouldn't know their parents' shoes.
One million, one million, six billion children, we know they
was great question the last but the last line about
if they meet Jesus tonight. Right, that's Daddy said she
may meet Jesus tonight. So we got get the Jesus
(17:14):
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 4 (17:24):
I don't think this was done at I've known about
this song for a long time, Okay years, I'll.
Speaker 7 (17:31):
Be honest, Like, if human beings are going to keep
writing songs like this, let's just let the AI do it.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (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. I'll say this.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
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.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
I like that.
Speaker 7 (17:55):
I like the dichotomy between like this like real clean
music and I've got a voice this right, It's like
I'm I'm like, I'm an everyman even though my music
is angelic.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
You know.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Also, there's something to be said for the fact linear
storytelling is a dying art, and that thing really lays
out the groundwork.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Well he did, I mean he had all the work
for 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 that you can't find a song, Christmas Shoes is
waiting for you.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
If you want to guess, we're ready. Come on, let's
do it.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Oh that's good. Yeah, that's great, we'll come here. I
won't give it a chance. 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.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Us no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
It was a song about a bush crash.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Everybody died, but they.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Didn't die exactly.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
You hear that one?
Speaker 7 (18:52):
Do we have time to give them a taste of that?
Say that it was a bus that crashed and everyone died,
but everyone didn't die.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
It was a bus full of kids. They were going
on a field trip or something.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Christmas bus.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Yeah, Christmas bus.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
And kreened 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 4 (19:12):
It's Yellow Jacket season three.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Wow, tell you what. We'll save that for next time.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (19:18):
Okay, So we welcome you to our world and uh no,
we really appreciate it, longtime fans of you. And I'm
just so excited to be part of this, really truly honored.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Well, thanks for giving us a chance? Yeah yeah, so
Casey jo justin Kevin Devine. The podcast is called give
It a Chance? How many? How many episodes are you
in where we've recorded like over ten? But we we're
just gonna keep going until, you you know, cut us off,
until the money to stop giving us.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I have submissions. How can I submit them?
Speaker 8 (19:46):
What?
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Oh my god, Creed, Oh that's great? That one, great one?
If she makes that noise, I got HIV?
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Are you scared of anybody's like fan base?
Speaker 7 (19:58):
Like you know, well 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):
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 3 (20:27):
I have everyone all right, They're going to come after
you totally 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. That was truly just trying to dig
myself out of the holes of Casey Kevin. Thank you
(20:48):
for king the podcast is. Give it a chance. Check
it out.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
We're so appreciated, and I will you watch Elvis Duran
