Whose The Hottest? Part 2 / Seether Concert Recap

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?

So the the thing that you charge it with, um, is that also the same refrigerant that they use in your car?

SPEAKER_09 10:30

That goes to my car, yeah, yeah. That's how whenever you talked about charging my car, I was like, oh, I know what that means because we do that at my place of employment.

SPEAKER_05 10:38

Chris, Chris, do you think it's R410 or R32?

SPEAKER_00 10:44

I don't I don't know. I don't know refrigerant. I know R22 and stuff is pressing.

SPEAKER_09 10:53

R22 is precious right now. As I was in the middle of pouring something, this guy, I had seen him and his daughter walking up like they had just gone to the counter, and he went, was it was it Jim?

SPEAKER_00 11:04

Was it Jim again?

SPEAKER_09 11:06

It was probably Jim.

SPEAKER_00 11:07

Earthworm.

SPEAKER_05 11:08

Earthworm Jim gets you every time.

SPEAKER_09 11:10

Literally, he went, Hello.

SPEAKER_05 11:13

So wait, so so for the audio people, so Taylor snapping her fingers. So you mean to tell me an adult male snapped his fingers at you as if you were like the help?

SPEAKER_09 11:25

Serving him, yes, snapped his fingers at me and then discussed 2025, the year of our life. 2025. So then I turned around, I said, Yeah, what do you need? I need a hot coffee. Yeah, sure, bud. 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 12:05

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 12:13

Dude, I the things that I would have done.

SPEAKER_09 12:18

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 12:25

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 12:38

Oh, it sent me over the edge.

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 15:25

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_00 16:54

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

The Dome Venue Review

SPEAKER_05 17:01

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 17:33

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

SPEAKER_00 17:40

Oh no, that's V.

SPEAKER_09 17:41

Calling the Police.

SPEAKER_00 17:42

It's menthol, five percent.

SPEAKER_09 17:44

Chris doesn't get the joke.

SPEAKER_00 17:46

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

SPEAKER_09 17:48

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

SPEAKER_05 17:54

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

SPEAKER_00 17:58

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

SPEAKER_05 18:06

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 18:35

For the whole end.

SPEAKER_05 18:37

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 18:55

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 18:56

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 19:10

Wow. Dummy is in front of your face.

SPEAKER_05 19:15

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 19:40

Checks out.

SPEAKER_05 19:41

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 19:58

So are you pregnant?

SPEAKER_05 20:00

Yes, both of you.

SPEAKER_09 20:03

Congratulations.

SPEAKER_05 20:04

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

SPEAKER_07 20:13

So that's wild.

SPEAKER_05 20:15

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 21:20

That's it.

SPEAKER_05 21:21

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 21:36

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

SPEAKER_05 21:40

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 22:03

Wow.

SPEAKER_05 22:04

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 22:18

I don't know what that is.

SPEAKER_05 22:20

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

SPEAKER_00 22:26

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

SPEAKER_05 22:30

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 22:41

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

SPEAKER_05 22:46

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

SPEAKER_09 22:56

Actually, it's quiet time.

SPEAKER_05 22:59

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 23:42

Early's ADHD loved that.

Surprise Set From P.O.D.

SPEAKER_05 23:44

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 24:15

Gasolina.

Daughtry’s New Metal Era

SPEAKER_05 24:44

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

SPEAKER_03 24:49

I remember that gasolina.

SPEAKER_05 24:53

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

SPEAKER_00 24:59

No, it was gas. Does it mean petrol?

SPEAKER_10 25:05

Got it!

SPEAKER_05 25:08

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 26:57

You you weren't a fan before?

Seether Set: Hits And Misses

SPEAKER_05 26:59

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 27:09

I love being home, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 27:10

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

SPEAKER_03 27:21

Yeah, sort of, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 27:22

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 27:36

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_05 27:37

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

SPEAKER_01 27:44

Um these places are getting old.

SPEAKER_09 27:51

Really?

SPEAKER_05 27:52

Yeah, dude.

SPEAKER_09 27:54

I think you're lying.

SPEAKER_05 27:56

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

SPEAKER_09 28:00

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

SPEAKER_05 28:06

What?

SPEAKER_09 28:07

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

SPEAKER_05 28:11

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

SPEAKER_00 28:16

Rascal Flats.

SPEAKER_05 28:18

Um Tom Cochrane's way better than Rascal Coffee.

SPEAKER_09 28:20

Sorry, that's so brave now.

SPEAKER_05 28:21

Shut your mouth.

SPEAKER_00 28:23

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 28:41

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 28:53

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

SPEAKER_07 28:58

But like cars.

SPEAKER_05 28:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 29:00

It's wild.

SPEAKER_05 29:02

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

SPEAKER_09 29:08

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 29:17

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

SPEAKER_09 29:19

It's their boobies.

SPEAKER_05 29:20

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

SPEAKER_09 29:25

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

SPEAKER_00 29:29

Do you have already heard this?

SPEAKER_09 29:33

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

SPEAKER_05 29:36

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 29:56

Just do it.

SPEAKER_05 29:56

Anyways, Helen Keller.

SPEAKER_09 29:59

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 30:07

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

SPEAKER_03 30:14

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

SPEAKER_09 30:22

No, no, we're getting into it.

SPEAKER_05 30:23

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

SPEAKER_09 30:31

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 30:47

To what degree was she deaf and or blind?

SPEAKER_09 30:50

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

SPEAKER_00 30:54

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

SPEAKER_06 30:58

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

SPEAKER_05 31:01

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

SPEAKER_00 31:07

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.

Helen Keller Debate Spirals

SPEAKER_05 31:15

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 31:28

1920.

SPEAKER_05 31:30

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

SPEAKER_00 31:33

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 31:43

What 1960?

SPEAKER_05 31:44

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

SPEAKER_09 31:51

1968 minus. How old was she?

SPEAKER_05 31:54

87.

SPEAKER_09 31:56

So I'm doing 1968 minus 87, right?

SPEAKER_05 32:00

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_09 32:02

1881. So there were.

SPEAKER_05 32:03

That's when she was born, 1881.

SPEAKER_09 32:06

So 1886.

SPEAKER_05 32:09

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

SPEAKER_09 32:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 32:14

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

SPEAKER_09 32:17

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

SPEAKER_05 32:22

Or yeah, an illness, yeah.

SPEAKER_09 32:24

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

SPEAKER_05 32:27

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

SPEAKER_09 32:29

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 32:46

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

SPEAKER_09 32:52

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 33:00

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

SPEAKER_09 33:03

I just don't believe that.

SPEAKER_03 33:06

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

SPEAKER_09 33:11

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 33:17

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

SPEAKER_09 33:21

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 33:35

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 33:41

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

SPEAKER_09 33:46

She didn't write nothing.

SPEAKER_03 33:47

There are so many books that she wrote.

SPEAKER_09 33:52

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 34:04

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 34:22

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 34:40

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

SPEAKER_09 34:46

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

SPEAKER_05 34:50

Because your brain is wrong.

SPEAKER_09 34:53

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 35:01

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

SPEAKER_09 35:06

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 35:20

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

SPEAKER_09 35:27

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 35:50

Pulling it up right now.

SPEAKER_09 35:51

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 35:58

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 36:15

Yeah, I'm ready.

SPEAKER_05 36:16

This is Helen Keller right here.

SPEAKER_02 36:22

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 37:39

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 37:57

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

SPEAKER_09 38:03

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 38:28

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

SPEAKER_09 38:33

No, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_00 38:35

What are you doing, Taylor?

SPEAKER_09 38:37

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 38:44

Taylor, don't do it.

SPEAKER_09 38:46

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

SPEAKER_05 38:50

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 38:55

No, I it takes one customer.

SPEAKER_05 38:57

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

SPEAKER_09 39:00

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_00 39:03

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 39:48

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

SPEAKER_00 39:55

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

SPEAKER_05 39:59

Taylor's house. It's just Taylor.

SPEAKER_00 40:01

Are you in a cult?

SPEAKER_09 40:02

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 40:15

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 40:22

Like, man, I agree. I agree.

SPEAKER_00 40:25

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 40:34

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

SPEAKER_03 40:40

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 40:52

Helen Keller's on the next SVU episode.

SPEAKER_05 40:55

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 41:02

You are a good person.

SPEAKER_05 41:05

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

SPEAKER_09 41:13

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

SPEAKER_05 41:16

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

SPEAKER_09 41:22

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

SPEAKER_07 41:30

What am I doing? It's true.

SPEAKER_00 41:35

Thank you everybody for listening to the Helen Keller episode.

SPEAKER_05 41:41

This is this is where it all ends, guys.

SPEAKER_09 41:44

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 41:54

Ann Taylor can't read.

SPEAKER_04 41:56

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

SPEAKER_09 42:03

That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_05 42:05

We have a musician bracket to get through.

SPEAKER_09 42:08

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

SPEAKER_05 42:11

SPEAKER_00 42:34

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 42:53

So four years.

SPEAKER_00 42:56

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 43:14

Oh, so that was it.

Music Bracket: Shakira, Usher, Metallica

SPEAKER_05 43:19

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 43:29

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

SPEAKER_05 43:34

Like, absolutely. All of that for what?

SPEAKER_09 43:37

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 43:50

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

SPEAKER_09 44:00

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

SPEAKER_06 44:07

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

SPEAKER_05 44:14

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

SPEAKER_08 44:20

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_08 44:40

It was Shakira versus Shakira.

SPEAKER_09 44:44

Yeah, pink all the way.

SPEAKER_05 44:46

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

SPEAKER_09 44:53

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

SPEAKER_05 44:57

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

SPEAKER_09 44:59

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 45:10

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

SPEAKER_08 45:19

She is?

SPEAKER_05 45:20

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 45:28

Oh, I thought that was Martha Stewart or something.

SPEAKER_05 45:31

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_09 45:53

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

SPEAKER_05 45:58

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.

Yes, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 47:04

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 47:15

You like his bot, huh?

SPEAKER_05 47:17

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 47:34

And herpes.

SPEAKER_05 47:35

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 48:16

That's definitely easier.

SPEAKER_05 48:18

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

SPEAKER_08 48:21

Yeah, like you can go to jail.

SPEAKER_05 48:23

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 48:46

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

SPEAKER_05 48:50

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

SPEAKER_09 48:57

I can't go James Heffield.

SPEAKER_05 48:59

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 49:17

I think so.

SPEAKER_05 49:18

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

SPEAKER_09 49:19

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

SPEAKER_05 49:22

Agreed. Oh, okay. Alright.

SPEAKER_09 49:25

You're going Benson Boone?

SPEAKER_05 49:26

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

SPEAKER_09 49:29

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

SPEAKER_05 49:33

She looks like Dolly Barton.

SPEAKER_09 49:34

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

SPEAKER_04 49:41

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 49:51

Sabrina?

SPEAKER_05 49:53

No, you.

SPEAKER_09 49:55

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

SPEAKER_05 50:00

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

SPEAKER_09 50:03

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

SPEAKER_05 50:07

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

SPEAKER_09 50:19

Yeah, of course.

SPEAKER_05 50:20

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

SPEAKER_09 50:30

Kelly Clarkson.

SPEAKER_05 50:32

I do agree, Kelly Clarkson.

SPEAKER_00 50:36

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 50:48

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 50:57

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 51:07

That is fair.

SPEAKER_09 51:08

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 51:16

Should I ask for a tiebreaker from the other room?

SPEAKER_09 51:19

Yeah, probably.

SPEAKER_00 51:23

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

SPEAKER_09 51:27

Yeah, I think you might make it a tie.

SPEAKER_00 51:32

Well, I am undecided. Same here.

SPEAKER_09 51:35

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 51:49

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 52:06

And they're also both stunning.

SPEAKER_05 52:09

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

SPEAKER_09 52:11

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 52:22

I mean like barely the song Fallen by Alicia Keys.

SPEAKER_09 52:27

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

SPEAKER_05 52:31

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

SPEAKER_09 52:34

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 52:52

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

SPEAKER_09 52:56

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

Alicia Keys vs Kelly Clarkson

SPEAKER_05 53:00

I think I think Lizzo is a minion.

SPEAKER_06 53:05

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

SPEAKER_05 53:11

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 53:24

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 53:33

Right, right.

SPEAKER_09 53:34

I was like, oh, like you can sing.

SPEAKER_05 53:37

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. Yeah, uh, for those of you listening, we're gonna do the finals at the live show. This is a great time to promote it, right? We're gonna do the finals at the live show, uh, where you can come and see me and Chris hanging out at Frank's Monster Munchies on October the 8th.

All right, so look at my guns.

SPEAKER_00 55:16

SPEAKER_09 55:21

All right, so my second amendment.

SPEAKER_05 55:23

Oh, they heard we got Shakira versus James Hetfield.

SPEAKER_08 55:32

Yes, that's crazy.

SPEAKER_09 55:34

Dude, they're both so pretty.

SPEAKER_05 55:42

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 55:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 55:55

And the other one's James Hetfield.

SPEAKER_08 55:58

And the other one's James Hetfield.

SPEAKER_05 56:00

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

SPEAKER_09 56:08

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

SPEAKER_05 56:13

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

SPEAKER_09 56:16

Oh, sorry. Oh, James Hetfield.

SPEAKER_05 56:19

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

SPEAKER_09 56:26

Oh no, Shakira, Shakira. Do not lie.

SPEAKER_05 56:32

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

SPEAKER_08 56:38

I tried.

SPEAKER_00 56:39

Should have picked something else.

SPEAKER_08 56:40

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

SPEAKER_05 56:48

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

SPEAKER_08 56:54

So you're gonna go, Shakira.

SPEAKER_05 56:56

I'm going James Hetfield. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_09 57:00

Yeah, keep him alive.

SPEAKER_05 57:02

SPEAKER_09 57:21

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

SPEAKER_05 57:24

I messed up somewhere.

SPEAKER_09 57:26

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 57:43

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_09 57:45

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 57:56

Right.

SPEAKER_09 57:57

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

SPEAKER_01 58:02

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

SPEAKER_09 58:18

Well, it's not the first show that she's won. I'm sure you have to do finals. I have my vote. So between Sabrina and Kelly Clarkson.
