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?

No, that's fair. We were also just kind of white trash.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean being poor. You know, you have a lot of camouflage jackets. That's what you're wearing. Yeah, yeah.

Check him out. And then he his daughter wanted him to leave a tip. I had turned back around to drop everything and get his coffee. So I'm getting his coffee. And his daughter said something about leaving a tip, and he was like, Do you know how long we were standing here? I'm not leaving a tip. So I turned around, I hand him his coffee, and I said, I am so sorry that you think 20 seconds is a long time. I will try better next time. Have a good day.

SPEAKER_00:

And then you pulled out your sawed-off double barrel shotgun and you blew off his fingers. You could have literally fired for that.

SPEAKER_05:

Dude, I the things that I would have done.

SPEAKER_09:

Truly, I wanted to drop everything. I wanted to just turn around and drop everything in my hand and say, Yes, absolutely. How can I serve you? Please.

SPEAKER_05:

I would have I would have stopped what I was doing and then went over to him and been like, Hey, how can I help you? And then as he spoke, I'd go, right in face. Is that annoying?

SPEAKER_09:

Oh, it sent me over the edge.

SPEAKER_05:

I would have called him oh never mind. I almost said something crazy, guys.

SPEAKER_09:

Truly, if I if I didn't need the job, that would have I didn't realize how enraging that is.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_09:

Oh, it was awful. I was worse than that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

When you're when your significant other is talking and they're talking about something you you don't want to talk about, and you just boop them on the nose and you go, bad dog. Bad dog. Ask my wife. No. No.

SPEAKER_09:

Curses 101 on how to get a divorce.

SPEAKER_05:

I've been trying. It's not um you should have looked at him and been like, yo, they outlawed slavery a long time ago. I know you're holding on to that big old flag.

SPEAKER_09:

It was wild. And then I had another lady come in and she ordered, first of all, I said, Hey, how like how are you doing? How's it going today? I need all right, sure. Yeah, don't mind the small talk. Never mind. All right. And I was inside, I wasn't at the drive-thru. So I get her order and it was kind of a big order. I said, Hey, can I go ahead and read this back to you? Read it all back. I said, Is everything like did everything come out correct? Ignored me on her phone, fully ignored me. And then took her card and started smacking the card reader. And I said, Oh, I'm so sorry. Let me let me get the photo.

SPEAKER_05:

Oh, dude. I could not deal with what you deal with. Nope. You know, we're on we're on a PSA kick um as of last week. Let me give my PSA.

SPEAKER_08:

PSA, please.

SPEAKER_05:

If you drive to any establishment to get any sort of service-oriented anything, this includes McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Starbucks, Duncan. I don't care where you're going. Nothing in your life can possibly be that bad or that important that you can't let these people do their fucking jobs, man.

SPEAKER_09:

Like, and also, like, I I get it. People are busy, the world is awful, whatever. Flash a smile. Like, you don't have to be on your phone when I'm giving you your things and I'm trying to have a human connection. Put your phone down.

SPEAKER_05:

Nah, that's that's that's too much to ask. I'm not even asking that. Don't be just aggressive. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09:

Like, why and I want to say there are so many nice people that come through the drive-thru. There are. Like, and and there's so many nice people that come in. So I hate like having those handful of bad experiences, but it's not even like they're just a little irritating. It's like, why are you acting like that? You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_05:

Slapping your heart on a card reader when you know how a tap works, like literally, like fully, like, like she was mad that I didn't have it ready, like slapping it just to let me know. Oh, dude. No, I would I would be catching assault charges left and right. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_09:

It was wild. I was like, well, and then every time I did it, I was like, I need this job, I need this job, I need this job. And then I continue doing what I was doing.

SPEAKER_05:

Oh, crazy.

SPEAKER_00:

Anywho, how has your week been, sir? It's been busy. It's been busy. It has been busy. This is the first time since oh god. It's been a couple days. I haven't seen my family. Like I woke my wife up night before last when I got home and was like, Hey, I got your food. You want to eat?

SPEAKER_09:

They've been working you to the bone, dude.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh no, I volunteered, so it's Oh what? Yeah, I volunteered for extra work.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, yeah, it's a whole thing we've got going on right now.

SPEAKER_09:

Did you get paid for this extra work, right?

SPEAKER_05:

Oh, yes, oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_09:

Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah. For those who don't know, Chris is a prostitute.

SPEAKER_09:

Yeah. And so he's volunteering his body.

SPEAKER_05:

I work so hard.

SPEAKER_09:

Stop at work.

SPEAKER_05:

Well, for like 10 or 12 seconds and then it softens up.

SPEAKER_09:

Not not 20 seconds, because that's too long.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. And five minutes of peddling. That's the best part.

SPEAKER_05:

Um I went and saw this concert, guys. It was first off, it was incredible. The the dome was the venue. It's a brand new venue in Virginia Beach. It's it's an older venue that they remodeled and redid. Um, but the dome might be the best place to see a concert in Virginia. Like I really as of right now, it is my favorite place to see a concert in Virginia.

SPEAKER_09:

Chris, is that a it's a what? I'm calling the police. I said, is that a weed?

SPEAKER_00:

Oh no, that's V.

SPEAKER_09:

Calling the Police.

SPEAKER_00:

It's menthol, five percent.

SPEAKER_09:

Chris doesn't get the joke.

SPEAKER_00:

No, he wasn't a vine kid, buddy.

SPEAKER_09:

He wasn't a vine kid. Oh, never mind. Sorry, continue.

SPEAKER_05:

Um, yeah, he wasn't uh he wasn't that kind of guy.

SPEAKER_00:

I sure hope it does. Um continue. So you saw the blue man group, the dome, the thunderdome.

SPEAKER_05:

So the dome in Virginia Beach. So they remodeled this place. First off, it's attached to a parking garage. Um so you literally park and you're at the venue, which is huge for anybody that has ever been to Virginia or Virginia Beach. Knowing that you're beside where you parked is huge in Virginia Beach. Yeah. So we go into the parking garage. Parking was only$20. So it's it's also reasonably priced. Wow.

SPEAKER_08:

For the whole end.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah. They had um they had staffers, uh, flagged staffers in the parking garage to let you know that that area was completely full, so that you didn't have to waste your time going through and looking. They would just wave you on to the next level. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07:

Okay.

SPEAKER_05:

That's then we we get parked, we go downstairs, and there's a lady that's telling people where the concert is. Because once you get downstairs in the parking garage, you're like, Oh, I don't know which way the dome was, and then they're like, It's right there. Go that way.

SPEAKER_07:

Wow. Dummy is in front of your face.

SPEAKER_05:

So you you do that, right? You get in, you go down, you go into the dome. Uh, getting through is quick. They were very, very quick to get us through. As soon as we get in there, a giant bar, like directly as soon as you walk in, staffed with four or five people. So people are getting all their stuff quick. The drinks and food, horribly overpriced. I will say that.

SPEAKER_09:

Checks out.

SPEAKER_05:

Um, we got because we hadn't eaten, so we got uh two pizzas, two personal sized pizzas, one cheese, one pepperoni, one for me, one for her. And Lindsay got a white claw, and I got a non-alcoholic coke.

SPEAKER_09:

So are you pregnant?

SPEAKER_05:

Yes, both of you.

SPEAKER_09:

Congratulations.

SPEAKER_05:

Um so all of that came to$80. Oh, Lee Moly. Next time stop at McDonald's.

SPEAKER_07:

So that's wild.

SPEAKER_05:

The food and drinks were very overpriced. You you get that at venues, anyways, but even with that mindset, I thought it was overpriced. So just be aware, like that's my only gripe. But the venue is beautiful, it's it's an incredible place to see a show. Um, you walk inside, you go down like seven stairs, and then you're inside of the dome, and it is standing room only. Um, there were some seating in the back, but I don't know if those were like personal seats or 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 three levels. Um, there are bars and bathrooms on every level. We only went to the first floor. Um, and then we were in the the pit basically. So it was standing standing room only. So you as soon as you got there, you could get as close as you wanted. So yeah. So for a hundred dollars is how much the tickets were. A hundred dollars.

SPEAKER_10:

That's it.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, it was it, dude. The venue was priced great, the tickets were priced great, the food was outrageous. Um, they had a very nice merch area. Uh, the they don't control the price of the merch, but the merch was always overpriced. Like this hat was$35.

SPEAKER_00:

Um, it's actually not bad. Not bad for a hat, yeah.

SPEAKER_05:

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 like both sides. So you're like you're staring at the stage to the left and to the right. There are just these beams of lights that change colors depending on what the artist, uh like their color scheme for the the stage is.

SPEAKER_10:

Wow.

SPEAKER_05:

Um and then Daughtry had like his own like laser light show that he put on during his set. Yeah. Uh all of that being said, POD was a surprise guest, so that was pretty incredible.

SPEAKER_07:

I don't know what that is.

SPEAKER_05:

Uh, you wouldn't know them. I'm sure Chris, I think you know, right? POD.

SPEAKER_00:

It's it's another one of those things where if I heard a song, I'd be like, duh.

SPEAKER_05:

Um Youth of the Nation was like their big song. Yeah. And then um the song Boom was another one. Uh Taylor, you would know that song.

SPEAKER_07:

Sound to my heart, the cheek goes on. No, nope.

SPEAKER_05:

No, this is yes. Boom. Here comes the boom. Here comes the yeah. Uh let me guess. Boom. Yes.

SPEAKER_09:

Actually, it's quiet time.

SPEAKER_05:

So the they were on. That was a surprise guess that I didn't know was going to be there. That was incredible. Super excited about that. Dotry comes out, plays all of his new stuff that I was unaware of. Um, he's a metal artist now, so he put on an incredible show with all of his new stuff. He played all of his old stuff as well towards the end. Uh, but but his new stuff was super good. It's like this modern electronic metal. Um so it was like it's different sounding enough that it was interesting. And um the the light show kind of just kept my brain super engaged. Like I was I was into this light show, dude.

SPEAKER_09:

Early's ADHD loved that.

SPEAKER_05:

Oh, dude, I was like, oh shit. Oh Cether came out and did their set, and they played all of the songs that you wanted to hear. They played um Broken, they played uh Fake It, they played Rimedy, they played Gasoline, um just any song that you think of that Caether has, they played it. So they were huh?

SPEAKER_09:

Gasolina.

SPEAKER_05:

Nope, not gasolina. Nope, nope, nope. Gasolina.

SPEAKER_03:

I remember that gasolina.

SPEAKER_05:

Love that song. Not not quite words, not quite that one. No, don't know a word.

SPEAKER_00:

No, it was gas. Does it mean petrol?

SPEAKER_10:

Got it!

SPEAKER_05:

Um, no, it was it was a good time, man. See, they're I they were slightly disappointing. Um, they were very yeah, they were very sloppy, like they just weren't like cohesive, they weren't really like put together. Um, in between is this their first concert in a while? No, that's the crazy part. Oh, and they've also been like playing for 25 years, 30 years. So like you would just think they'd be a little more put together. Yeah, um, but like in between songs, they would just like start playing random shit, and like none of it went into the next song. They would just like almost like you know when like you pick up a guitar. Well, no, but like when I pick up a guitar and I like start messing around to like tune it and stuff, like they were doing that in between every song. That's wild, yeah. And then they would just start playing another song, and like it just it didn't flow well together at all. And at one point they started to play a song, and then the singer was like, No, we're not doing that one, and they did a different one, so it just felt like chaotic and and not like put together. Um and like I said, they were sloppy, like the the the songs were good, they were there, but you could tell like they just weren't well rehearsed. Yeah, um, they did Broken and did like the worst version of Broken I've ever heard. Like I've I've heard people in bars play this song better than they didn't. It was it was not good. Oh but it's like you still get to hear them do all of the songs that you wanted to hear, you know? So yeah, it it was it was a little disappointing on that part, but I'm really happy that I got to see them. And I'm I'm a fan of Daughtry now, man. I think Dottree's super, super good, super cool.

SPEAKER_07:

You you weren't a fan before?

SPEAKER_05:

Not really. No, yeah, all of his songs are about like going home and staying home and finding home and oh shit, yeah. That's what I want.

SPEAKER_09:

I love being home, yeah.

SPEAKER_05:

Chris, you would love Dottree. But his new stuff is new.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, sort of, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05:

You know, he had that song that's like, Well, I'm going home. Yeah. That was him, and then he had uh wasn't really I don't know, yeah. Oh then he has some other songs.

SPEAKER_09:

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_05:

It was I don't that was him. I don't think you know who Dodtre is, Taylor.

SPEAKER_01:

Um these places are getting old.

SPEAKER_09:

Really?

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, dude.

SPEAKER_09:

I think you're lying.

SPEAKER_05:

Yep, that's it. Home Dodge. There you go. Googled, done.

SPEAKER_09:

I I definitely thought the same guy that sang life is a highway.

SPEAKER_05:

What?

SPEAKER_09:

Because in my head they're the same song. Like, I don't know.

SPEAKER_05:

Which version of that are you? That's what I was just gonna ask. Tom Rascal. Tom Cochrane or Rascal Flats?

SPEAKER_00:

Rascal Flats.

SPEAKER_05:

Um Tom Cochrane's way better than Rascal Coffee.

SPEAKER_09:

Sorry, that's so brave now.

SPEAKER_05:

Shut your mouth.

SPEAKER_00:

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

SPEAKER_09:

Did you guys know that there's a a car's priest? So that means there's a car's Jesus, so that means there's a car's religion.

SPEAKER_05:

Taylor, I think the whole universe is just like real people, but cars.

SPEAKER_07:

But like cars.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07:

It's wild.

SPEAKER_05:

You know, I bet those cars, uh Taylor, those cars are allowed to even have jobs. Isn't that something?

SPEAKER_09:

That's wild. Um, do you know this? Do you know the scene when um the girls flash their headlights to Lightning McQueen?

SPEAKER_05:

Yes, it's the best scene in the movie.

SPEAKER_09:

It's their boobies.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, we know. We're well aware up top. I still giggle.

SPEAKER_09:

Chris, do you think that Helen Keller is real? Or let me rephrase this.

SPEAKER_00:

Do you have already heard this?

SPEAKER_09:

Sorry, I know. We're still on Cedar. Keep going.

SPEAKER_05:

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, if you're listening, if you are in Virginia, go see a show at the dome. Like, even if you're unsure if you like, if you're like, I don't really see that music or I don't want to go, just fucking go. It's so good.

SPEAKER_09:

Just do it.

SPEAKER_05:

Anyways, Helen Keller.

SPEAKER_09:

Helen Keller. Anyways, wonderful. Um, yeah, so do you think that Helen Keller did all the things that they claim that she did?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. Why lie? Taylor, the media. You guys fall for it.

SPEAKER_03:

There's so much evidence. There's so much evidence.

SPEAKER_09:

No, no, we're getting into it.

SPEAKER_05:

We're getting into it. Because I've been thinking about it. And I know it drives me insane.

SPEAKER_09:

I know that Lindsay said that she taught her in her hand. Like I get that. But like if she wrote an A in her hand, how does she know that's an A? You can't verbally tell her she's deaf.

SPEAKER_00:

To what degree was she deaf and or blind?

SPEAKER_09:

Fully. Fully deaf, fully blind. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, wasn't this back in the time of like oil lamps and stuff?

SPEAKER_06:

No, she she died in like the crazy part, dude.

SPEAKER_05:

That's the crazy part. This is why I argue this point. She died in 1968.

SPEAKER_00:

What? It wasn't that long ago. Dude, I've seen like pictures where it looks like she's in like old time. Maybe they just dressed her out.

SPEAKER_05:

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:

1920.

SPEAKER_05:

Wait. No, that also doesn't add up, Taylor.

SPEAKER_00:

No, she'd have been like 18. Yeah. So that would have been oil lamps and stuff. Maybe those are the pictures or drawings I've seen of her. So what year?

SPEAKER_09:

What 1960?

SPEAKER_05:

1968. So what year what year would she have been like five?

SPEAKER_09:

1968 minus. How old was she?

SPEAKER_05:

87.

SPEAKER_09:

So I'm doing 1968 minus 87, right?

SPEAKER_05:

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_09:

1881. So there were.

SPEAKER_05:

That's when she was born, 1881.

SPEAKER_09:

So 1886.

SPEAKER_05:

So 1886, she would have been like five years old.

SPEAKER_09:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05:

Right? So she she wasn't born this way.

SPEAKER_09:

It was an accident that at 19 months old. It was an illness.

SPEAKER_05:

Or yeah, an illness, yeah.

SPEAKER_09:

That she went fully deaf and fully blind at 19 months.

SPEAKER_05:

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

SPEAKER_09:

She doesn't know how to do things at 19 months. Dude, I'm gonna die on this hill. I think she was real, and I'm sure she did some things. I don't think she wrote a whole book. I I think that maybe she helped in some capacity.

SPEAKER_00:

She did not write the book. It's like all these presidents and stuff who write books, they're not writing books.

SPEAKER_09:

So that's what I'm saying. I I think that things have been exaggerated. Do you see what I'm saying? That they're like, oh my gosh, no, no plane.

SPEAKER_03:

And I'm like how it works. That's how it works.

SPEAKER_09:

I just don't believe that.

SPEAKER_03:

There's so much evidence because there are so many pictures of Ellen Keller.

SPEAKER_09:

But they were like she flew a plane, but all she really did was touch the little plane thing for 30 seconds. She didn't fly a plane.

SPEAKER_00:

Because technically, for 30 seconds, she was flying the plane.

SPEAKER_09:

Alright, Chris, listen. Technically, yeah, but like it's not a lie. Yeah, if you I guess if you go on a technicality, but when you're like, yeah, she was deaf and blind and she flew a plane.

SPEAKER_00:

You know what I mean? It'd be different if they said she performed brain surgery. I'd be like, Oh dude, Taylor.

SPEAKER_05:

Taylor, not only did she write a book, she wrote so many books.

SPEAKER_09:

She didn't write nothing.

SPEAKER_03:

There are so many books that she wrote.

SPEAKER_09:

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 that this is an A?

SPEAKER_00:

Have you not seen the people? Have you not seen the people with the disabilities who have like no arms and there's no legs, they're just feet coming out of their torso, and like they live on their own stories, and they live on their own. These people they wash dishes, they know I know that.

SPEAKER_09:

That makes sense to me. What I'm saying is, I don't understand. I think Helen Keller could do things. That's not what I'm saying. I don't understand how they taught her to write or like readily braille. Like, how did they know that she understood that? Do you see what I'm saying? In the New Yorker, verbally tell them.

SPEAKER_05:

Here's an entire article in The New Yorker explaining how she learned how to write Taylor.

SPEAKER_09:

But I'm saying, like, I'm saying my brain doesn't comprehend that.

SPEAKER_05:

Because your brain is wrong.

SPEAKER_09:

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:

I bet, I bet there's a video of her doing this stuff. Hold on.

SPEAKER_09:

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 how can you explain to her that this is an A other than just writing it in her hand?

SPEAKER_01:

Here's a video from 1954 of Helen Keller speaking out against something.

SPEAKER_09:

She can talk? Dude, I'm if you let's watch it. But do you want to talk about pulling it up right now? Do you understand what I'm saying, though? Like if she went deaf and blind at 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:

Pulling it up right now.

SPEAKER_09:

I just I don't believe that it's real. She's lying. She she was fibbing. She wanted to get out of preschool.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay, I wasn't mistaken. I uh I actually played the Helen Keller experience uh game for the 360. I'll just win it to Harley. You ready for this? You ready?

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, I'm ready.

SPEAKER_05:

This is Helen Keller right here.

SPEAKER_02:

She does not see the room or the book that she's reading. She sees nothing. She does not hear the rustling of the curtains behind her. She hears nothing. She is deaf, deaf, and blind. If you enter her room, she will know it. Your lightest footfall will tell her you are coming. She will even tell her who you are if she knows you, if she knows her old friend, Polly Thompson. Polly has been with Helen Keller forty years. She's been Helen's only companion. Helen's eyes and ears are the world. She talks with Helen by a finger system that each letter has a sign. She's barely touching her hand. Reaching out beyond her dark and soundless night, Helen depends most on touch. Two other senses remain. There is taste and there is smell. Since the scent of objects and places and people tells Helen much that we learn with eyes and ears. But her hand is such link to the outer world, with College, with Anne, the pastime helper, with everyone she encounters.

SPEAKER_09:

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 could teach her like words. I don't understand that.

SPEAKER_05:

I just don't think you were smart enough to do it to it up too.

SPEAKER_09:

I understand if you are blind, obviously you can understand words and they can teach you things because you can still hear. If you are deaf, I understand that you can still read because you have eyes, right? But like if like kids who have gone deaf, you've heard deaf people talk. Do you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_00:

Don't do yes, we've all heard. Yeah, don't do the impression. Don't do it.

SPEAKER_09:

No, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_00:

What are you doing, Taylor?

SPEAKER_09:

Holy shit, dude. I just don't understand. It's not she's I think she's real, I just don't think she wrote a book.

unknown:

Taylor, don't do it.

SPEAKER_09:

I'm not doing it. I'm not gonna get canceled. I have to keep my job. I just don't know.

SPEAKER_05:

They don't listen to the show, so I I think it's a good thing that you didn't, but I think we're we're okay.

SPEAKER_09:

No, I it takes one customer.

SPEAKER_05:

We're still working on getting this show on braille.

SPEAKER_09:

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_00:

Right after this, we have to get back on topic. So my uncle told me the funniest story, right? So he goes to King's Dominion in high school for band, probably. I don't know, right? Okay, and so they go to King's Dominion. Nobody said it was, I guess there was a huge gathering of deaf people, and he didn't know it until they got on the ride, and everyone started yelling at the same time. Oh no, oh no, these high school kids, you know what I mean? Like yeah, fish bags. Oh no, he was just he was so freaked out. So that's fair. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09:

Oh no, but like people also don't think that Stevie Wonder is blind. Like he's just thinking that.

SPEAKER_00:

I mean, where are these people meeting that you're referring to?

SPEAKER_05:

Taylor's house. It's just Taylor.

SPEAKER_00:

Are you in a cult?

SPEAKER_09:

No, I think that Stevie Wonder is blind. I think that Helen Keller is deaf and blind. I just don't think she wrote all of those. Anywho, I stand by that because I just I don't think it's true.

SPEAKER_00:

Is anybody gonna bring up the fact that she's like a pretty old woman? I mean, like, she's pretty, she is, as an old woman, like us.

SPEAKER_04:

Like, man, I agree. I agree.

SPEAKER_00:

What are you saying? Helen Helen Keller could get it when she was younger. She's she, I mean, I don't know if she's Helen Keller is Chris's type. She would be a mom I'd like to finance a car with.

SPEAKER_09:

Let's find out. Let's find out. How would she know what was happening? That would be a jarring experience.

SPEAKER_03:

I don't know. But she could say, dude, we're so close. We're walking such an edge right now. You keep catching me off guard. I'm about to say some crazy shit.

SPEAKER_08:

Helen Keller's on the next SVU episode.

SPEAKER_05:

Just so everyone here knows, I had a fantastic joke just now and I didn't say it. I'm a good person. God damn it. I'm a good person.

SPEAKER_09:

You are a good person.

SPEAKER_05:

Also, yeah, Helen Keller was a pretty lady in her 20s. I agree with this statement. I fact checked it.

SPEAKER_09:

Well, pull up a picture, don't be shy.

SPEAKER_05:

Well, I don't know if you'll be able to really see it.

SPEAKER_09:

I know she couldn't. Yo, what the fuck are we doing here, dude?

SPEAKER_07:

What am I doing? It's true.

SPEAKER_00:

Thank you everybody for listening to the Helen Keller episode.

SPEAKER_05:

This is this is where it all ends, guys.

SPEAKER_09:

Also, if you guys plan on commenting, I don't read the comments because my mental health can't handle that. Um I stand by what I say.

SPEAKER_00:

Ann Taylor can't read.

SPEAKER_04:

I can't read. Neither could she. Okay. Listen, guys. No, she could. That's the thing.

SPEAKER_09:

That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_05:

We have a musician bracket to get through.

SPEAKER_09:

Oh, that's right. I forgot. We do things.

SPEAKER_05:

Are we are we ready to finish this up? We we gotta get through um at least one round.

SPEAKER_09:

Um Kelly Clarkson's ex-husband died.

SPEAKER_05:

Jim?

SPEAKER_09:

I mean, this happened a while ago, but fucking Jim, dude.

unknown:

Fucking Jim.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay, okay, okay. Are we ready? Oh, one second. News. Yes.

SPEAKER_00:

Diddy. Oh, there's Diddy news? Yeah. He got he got uh he was found guilty and then sentencing uh four years and two months, which I hate. I'm reading all these articles and they're like 50 months, and I'm like, math, not my strong suit, just tell me four years and two months.

SPEAKER_01:

So four years.

SPEAKER_00:

That's it. Yeah, they dropped a lot of the major stuff. Um but the let's see. Well, I want to get the verbiage right. Uh Combs was found guilty of two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution.

SPEAKER_07:

Oh, so that was it.

SPEAKER_05:

It's it's stuff like this that makes the criminal say, I could do that time. Especially if you have enough money.

SPEAKER_09:

Everyone who testified against him is now in danger. Do you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_05:

Like, absolutely. All of that for what?

SPEAKER_09:

Especially like the the I mean like lowest end of the people who went in and were like, Yeah, he did these awful things to me and put me through these awful things, and that's all I'm gonna get enraged.

SPEAKER_05:

Four years. That's wild. You know what's crazier than that? Look at how handsome uh Josh Turner is.

SPEAKER_09:

Dude, that's crazy. I feel I feel like that might have been insensitive. I think you should apologize right now.

SPEAKER_06:

You said never mind. We're not we're not back. What I said was truthful. She couldn't hear or see.

SPEAKER_05:

Um, so just to recap, we're going over the musicians from the last episode.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah, so if you guys don't know what we're doing that made it through the first round, yeah, and they're going against each other now, and we have to get through these rounds.

SPEAKER_05:

Are we ready? Yeah, so it was Josh Turner versus Oh, wait, no, no, sorry, pink.

SPEAKER_08:

You already messed up.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, yeah, sorry.

SPEAKER_08:

It was Shakira versus Shakira.

SPEAKER_09:

Yeah, pink all the way.

SPEAKER_05:

Uh yeah, I was gonna say this is where we get decisive or divisive.

SPEAKER_09:

So are we just basing it off of looks or like talent and personality?

SPEAKER_05:

What are you talking about, Taylor? You're crazy.

SPEAKER_09:

Because I recently heard Pink has been going across my for you page, and I've been hearing clips of her just like singing, and I'm like, yeah, I'm a pink fan.

SPEAKER_05:

Um Shakira's Shakira's a uh uh criminal, also.

SPEAKER_08:

She is?

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, you know you don't remember uh she got in trouble for her taxes in like Colombia or wherever she's from.

SPEAKER_09:

Oh, I thought that was Martha Stewart or something.

SPEAKER_05:

No, Martha also got in trouble, but I don't I don't think she's Colombian. I for what is she, Taylor? You tell me. Um she's a Pumpa Honduras, yeah, but like where is she from?

SPEAKER_08:

Um I don't know, actually.

SPEAKER_05:

Anyways, uh yeah, she got in trouble. She she's a criminal.

SPEAKER_09:

Crazy. Now I know. Um all right, well, well Shakira wins then.

SPEAKER_05:

If it's uh if it's it is it is two against one. Yeah, so Shakira moves. I'm not mad at that. Um then it was John Legend versus uh James Hetfield. Honestly, we can't Oh wait, no, no, I'm sorry. No, I'm sorry. It was James Hetfield messing up against Sabrina Carpenter against Sabrina Carpenter or no Usher, Usher, James Hetfield, James Hetfield versus Usher because Bruno Mars Dude, you're really bad at this. Yeah, I am bad at this. It was uh Bruno Mars versus and John Legend won.

SPEAKER_09:

Okay, so we had the first two, and then it was pink, and then Shakira and Bruno Mars, and then Shakira won. So then we had pink and Shakira, and then it was supposed to be James Hetfield versus Usher.

SPEAKER_05:

Because Usher beat Adele.

SPEAKER_08:

Yes, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay, so James Hetfield versus Usher. We're going to James Hetfield. I'm gonna go Usher. You're going Usher. What's your reason?

SPEAKER_09:

You like his bot, huh?

SPEAKER_05:

No, it's the Herpes. Herbie? I love that movie. Do you know the story about him and his herpes? No, I don't want to know. Oh well, I'm gonna tell you anyways. Uh because I know a lot about music and music news.

SPEAKER_10:

And herpes.

SPEAKER_05:

And herpes. Uh so Usher came under fire from a lady who claimed that he gave her herpes, knowing that he had herpes, and he didn't disclose it before having relations with her. But that's a claim. It was a claim that turned out to be completely true. There were several women that came forward and they were like, yes, he got us too. Well, so then he came out and and admitted that he he was aware that he had herpes. Like, I think he ended up paying out. I'm not positive on that, so don't quote me on it.

SPEAKER_08:

That's definitely easier.

SPEAKER_05:

It is, it is like it there was a whole thing about it.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah, like you can go to jail.

SPEAKER_05:

That was one of the that was one of the first times that somebody came out. Usher was one of the first ones to come out against the whole Diddy thing. So yeah. Anyways, um if you're trying to claim our vote, it's still Usher. This is where this is where Chris was like, Yeah, I was already sold, man.

SPEAKER_09:

You didn't I was already sold, and you just are keep you keep selling the deal.

SPEAKER_05:

You made the deal, man. Um, yeah, I gotta go James Hetfield on this one.

SPEAKER_09:

I can't go James Heffield.

SPEAKER_05:

I can't let Metallica die in this cesspool of pop artists. That yeah. Alright, so we've got Sabrina Carpenter versus Benson Boone. Was it Benson Boone?

SPEAKER_09:

I think so.

SPEAKER_05:

Yes, it was. It was it was Benson Boon.

SPEAKER_09:

Sabrina Carpenter all the way. We don't even need to argue.

SPEAKER_05:

Agreed. Oh, okay. Alright.

SPEAKER_09:

You're going Benson Boone?

SPEAKER_05:

No, I don't like either one of them. I was gonna let you guys decide.

SPEAKER_09:

She looks so pretty here. This is such a good picture of her.

SPEAKER_05:

She looks like Dolly Barton.

SPEAKER_09:

Actually, I hope she's happy. Okay, Dolly Barton's stunning. She kind of looks like Taylor Swift.

SPEAKER_04:

Why is he why are you like ready to fight today? Because I had an awful day of work. I'm coming in. So combative.

SPEAKER_09:

Sabrina?

SPEAKER_05:

No, you.

SPEAKER_09:

No, you missed what Chris said. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, I'm not sure I'm not good at keeping track.

SPEAKER_09:

Or or hers are real though. Dolly's aren't.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah. Anywho. Uh so we have Ryan Gosling versus Oh, wait, no, you guys went Alicia Keys, right? Yeah.

SPEAKER_09:

Yeah, of course.

SPEAKER_05:

Sorry. Alicia Keys versus Ooh, Kelly Clarkson. This might be the this might be the toughest one, honestly. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09:

Kelly Clarkson.

SPEAKER_05:

I do agree, Kelly Clarkson.

SPEAKER_00:

I mean, however, watching her come up, but like in in you know, seeing it live. Yeah, Alicia Keys was before my time, but I grew up with it, and I love Alicia Keys.

SPEAKER_05:

I also love Alicia Keys. I think she has a fantastic voice. Yes. It's tough to put these two together in the same place.

SPEAKER_09:

I think they are both unbelievably talented, but I think Kelly Clarkson's range of things that she can do is better than Alicia Keys.

SPEAKER_05:

That is fair.

SPEAKER_09:

I have not found a cover of Kelly Clarkson's that I did not like. Or dare I say was better than the original.

SPEAKER_05:

Should I ask for a tiebreaker from the other room?

SPEAKER_09:

Yeah, probably.

SPEAKER_00:

Was it really a tie? There's three of us, but still ask.

SPEAKER_09:

Yeah, I think you might make it a tie.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, I am undecided. Same here.

SPEAKER_09:

I'm I'm gonna go Alicia Keys just because but your wife sent me a video of Tibby, we'll get out with a loud hands in the air like you just don't care.

SPEAKER_05:

Um, see, so I was I was leaning um more towards Alicia Keys, but based off of pure talent, but like they're so they're so that's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_09:

And they're also both stunning.

SPEAKER_05:

Do you know what I mean? Absolutely, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_09:

Like I don't know, it is really hard. I do think that they are both so unbelievably talented, but I do think for me, Kelly Clarkson would take the cake on that one. Barely.

SPEAKER_05:

I mean like barely the song Fallen by Alicia Keys.

SPEAKER_09:

I would love to hear Kelly Clarkson and Alicia Keys do a duet.

SPEAKER_05:

That should happen. I'm surprised that it hasn't.

SPEAKER_09:

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 great voice. Like, I forgot that she's like theatrically trained.

SPEAKER_05:

In a minute, I'm gonna need a nemanima, I'm an emma.

SPEAKER_09:

In a minute, I'm gonna need a nemanemon.

SPEAKER_05:

I think I think Lizzo is a minion.

SPEAKER_06:

She is. She is. No, I I hate bringing like to her.

SPEAKER_05:

Like the opposite of what? That's that's a that's a horrible joke. Um I don't I don't like Lizzo. I don't like Lizzo. I mean her voice isn't her voice is fine. Her voice is fine.

SPEAKER_09:

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

SPEAKER_05:

Right, right.

SPEAKER_09:

I was like, oh, like you can sing.

SPEAKER_05:

While we wait for the tiebreaker from the other room, we're gonna stare at Shagira. No, I mean we can, um, but no, let's go through because we we gotta get to the finals today.

SPEAKER_00:

We can't put this on YouTube if she's just brandishing firearms.

SPEAKER_09:

All right, so my second amendment.

SPEAKER_05:

Oh, they heard we got Shakira versus James Hetfield.

SPEAKER_08:

Yes, that's crazy.

SPEAKER_09:

Dude, they're both so pretty.

SPEAKER_05:

Uh Shakira. One of them is foreign, the other one looks like they would have issues with the fact that she's in this country.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05:

And the other one's James Hetfield.

SPEAKER_08:

And the other one's James Hetfield.

SPEAKER_05:

Um this is tough. Again, we can't decide. It's the only rock representation.

SPEAKER_09:

You guys are deciding at no no no, the finals.

SPEAKER_05:

The finals. That'll be the last two. We gotta get it down to two.

SPEAKER_09:

Oh, sorry. Oh, James Hetfield.

SPEAKER_05:

You think? What do you think, Chris? Yeah, Shakira. He said Shakira. Oh no.

SPEAKER_09:

Oh no, Shakira, Shakira. Do not lie.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah. Yeah, you picked a great picture, too. That's the that's the other issue.

SPEAKER_08:

I tried.

SPEAKER_00:

Should have picked something else.

SPEAKER_08:

The rest of them weren't that great. She does not photograph the best.

SPEAKER_05:

You know, I know he's not gonna make it to the end, and neither is she.

SPEAKER_08:

So you're gonna go, Shakira.

SPEAKER_05:

I'm going James Hetfield. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_09:

Yeah, keep him alive.

SPEAKER_09:

No, we didn't, we didn't decide between Yeah, you're right.

SPEAKER_05:

I messed up somewhere.

SPEAKER_09:

No, wait, go back. Just click out of it. So I think we're now deciding it'd be so much easier if you would have deleted these pictures. Do you know what I mean? Okay, so we had Shakira against James.

SPEAKER_05:

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_09:

These four are done. And then we had Sabrina, would be against either Alicia or Kelly, but we didn't agree upon one of those two.

SPEAKER_05:

Right.

SPEAKER_09:

So we have to agree, we have to figure out who wins between Alicia and Kelly Clarkson.

SPEAKER_01:

Um I'm gonna I'm gonna say Kelly Clarkson. We're gonna go Kelly Clarkson. Yeah.
