Top 10 Songs Everyone Knows the Words to!

Ever watch a stranger melt down in public and wonder what the right response should be? We start with a jaw-dropping Walmart story—complete with aisle-side outrage and a hero repeating “why are you mad?”—and turn it into a bigger conversation about empathy, language barriers, and how to keep your dignity when everything feels loud. No lectures, just honest debate about patience, translation apps, and the tiny choices that make life easier for everyone.

From there, we jump into a home-repair misadventure that would make any new homeowner sweat: a contractor who shows up with painter’s tape and no materials, a realtor with disappearing texts, and the case for clear communication. We talk tipping etiquette for delivery apps and why incentives matter, then shift gears into a moment of tenderness: Taylor’s hand-drawn cardinal for her dad, honoring a loved one with art that blends craft and memory.

And then it’s pure joy. We pull up Spotify Wrapped confessions and rank the 10 songs everyone knows, singing along to the anthems that turn bars into choirs and cars into stages. From Sweet Caroline and Don’t Stop Believin’ to Mr. Brightside, Wannabe, All the Small Things, Hey Ya, Bohemian Rhapsody, and We Will Rock You, we argue, laugh, and admit which tracks make us want to rage or cry in the best way. It’s nostalgia, karaoke energy, and the shared soundtrack that proves music still ties us together when words fail.

Grab a zero-sugar boost made with coffee-based caffeine, check out our new merch, and hang with us for a ride that’s messy, human, and weirdly uplifting. If this made you smile, think, or sing along, hit follow, share with a friend who needs a pick-me-up, and leave a quick review—what’s your number one singalong song?

SPEAKER_08 2:22

I wonder who did that.

SPEAKER_01 2:23

I I also wonder. I'm not gonna say because you know what? I listened back on the last show that we did. I I assume Chris probably listened to it as well.

SPEAKER_08 2:32

SPEAKER_01 2:34

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_06 2:36

It's you and Taylor, right?

SPEAKER_08 3:15

Do you not start?

SPEAKER_01 3:17

Well, you drink like folgers.

SPEAKER_08 3:20

SPEAKER_01 3:27

You drink good old-fashioned American coffee. Black.

SPEAKER_08 3:32

Oh my gosh, guys, I have a story to tell you. Speaking of America, I have a story to tell you.

SPEAKER_01 3:36

USA. USA. USA USA.

SPEAKER_08 3:39

USA. USA. Um, should I get into it? It's crazy. I don't think I've told have I read my Walmart story by almost fist body the other day in Walmart.

SPEAKER_01 3:49

I don't know. Keep telling it though. Let's see how fast we can roll through this story and how much of it we actually get to hear.

The Walmart Confrontation

SPEAKER_08 3:54

Okay. Yeah. So listen, so I'm in Walmart, right? This girl's losing her mind, throwing hands in the airs. I rate. She had ran into a personal shopper, asked him a question, lost her mind. The person, like the people who like uh do the mobile orders, you know what I mean? Like have the big things oh okay, they got the big carts. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So he's all flustered. I accidentally I'm going down the same aisle. I'm nosy. She's losing her mind. I run into his cart. I say, Oh my gosh, are you okay? And he was like, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then he ran off. Okay. So this woman runs into another personal shopper at the end of the aisle, losing her mind, yelling, screaming, and she's going, Nobody ever speaks English anymore. I can't believe that you guys would hire hire all these illegal immigrants to this to the personal shopper lady, losing her mind, guys. Losing it. What's happening to our country? Okay.

SPEAKER_01 4:47

What a stance to take in the middle of a Walmart.

SPEAKER_08 4:50

In the middle of a Walmart and Florida.

SPEAKER_01 4:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 4:53

So I'm yeah, Florida people are crazy.

SPEAKER_06 4:55

We know this. Crazy. This is true.

SPEAKER_08 4:58

So I'm not too far from them, but like far enough, you know what I mean? I'm minding my own business. I'm getting the seasonings that I needed.

SPEAKER_01 5:05

I accidentally said the Mexican seasonings.

SPEAKER_08 5:09

Actually, it was for a pot roast.

SPEAKER_01 5:12

Oh, so it was white seasonings.

SPEAKER_08 5:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:14

So you were getting salt and pepper.

SPEAKER_08 5:16

Yeah. That's the only way to season my pot roast. Honestly, pepper must be a little bit more. Um, anywho, oh, you guys froze. Are we back? So, so the lady um I said accidentally out loud, I said, Wow, what an odd thing to say as a grown woman. And she turned around and started screaming at me.

SPEAKER_01 5:48

Wait, wait, you you entertained the conversation?

SPEAKER_08 5:53

So it wasn't entertained. I was like close enough to where she could hear me, but I out loud said, Wow, what an odd thing to say as a grown woman. And so she then turned around and started yelling at me, and she said, I I've born and raised here, and I'm like, okay, and I'm not. What do you mean? So then I was like, Yeah, you also live in Florida. Like, if we're looking at the most diverse countries or diverse states, do you know what I mean? Like you live in Florida.

SPEAKER_01 6:19

Anywho, I think New Mexico is probably the most, well, I wouldn't say diverse. I would say in the country, it's the most diverse part of the country.

SPEAKER_08 6:31

I'm saying, like, if you look at all the states you could live in, like if we're taking a stance over you being mad at people speaking Spanish in a store, maybe move to Florida. Maybe, maybe move up north. Anywho, yeah. So she's smelling at me, and then the woman, the personal shopper lady, goes, uh, you know, I think what you're looking for is in lawn and garden. And I'm like, Oh, so also you're stupid because whatever you need is obviously for either your lawn or your garden. Anywho, so then this guy comes up and he's just a normal shopper. He's just getting his groceries, gets right up on Twitter and goes, Yo, why are you mad? Why are you so mad on a third day?

SPEAKER_01 7:15

This is the most Florida story I've ever heard.

SPEAKER_08 7:19

And he goes, He's just trying to provide for her family. Why are you so mad?

SPEAKER_01 7:23

Because this and then an alligator came by and asked where the salt was.

SPEAKER_08 7:27

Well, no, Lily asked if they sold grapes at the lemonade stand.

SPEAKER_01 7:31

And Ted Cruz was there for some reason.

SPEAKER_08 7:34

So the guy continued to follow her around the store, harassing her, asking her she was just so mad on a Thursday and just couldn't do her shopping. Why was she so mad? I said, Well, this is crazy. Truly went home and I was like, I will be going back to Wall. That was a crazy experience. Anywho, so I definitely thought she was gonna fist bite me, but that was my story. That's it.

SPEAKER_06 7:58

The real question is, could do you think he could have taken her?

SPEAKER_08 8:01

Yeah, she kind of looked like a crackhead. Yeah, crackheads are swirly. I think I would have been okay though. I had at least 80 pounds on her, to be honest with you.

SPEAKER_01 8:11

Yeah, but then you gotta worry about the biting though. Those are like zombies.

SPEAKER_08 8:14

Yeah, I might get I might get rabies.

SPEAKER_01 8:15

Yeah, you get bit by one of them, and suddenly you're a crackhead, and then we gotta put you down.

SPEAKER_08 8:20

I think good like kick in the gut, she would have been a goner, you know.

SPEAKER_01 8:26

It would have been like that episode of Dragon Ball Z when they kick Cell in the stomach and he pukes out one of the androids.

SPEAKER_08 8:59

Yeah, she'll puke out her crack.

SPEAKER_06 9:02

But no, no, no, no matter what anyone's political beliefs are religious beliefs, I'm a I'm a diehard, don't be a dick. Like, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_08 9:12

Yeah, and that was the thing. I was like, you can be mad at the situation. Sorry that he didn't speak well enough English to help you. You're in the middle of a Walmart and you're 60. Calm down.

SPEAKER_01 9:25

Yeah, also like I agree with Chris, like whatever your beliefs are, have them in the privacy of your home. For real, don't bring that, don't bring that shit into the streets, man.

SPEAKER_07 9:37

That's what I'm saying. What are you gonna say?

SPEAKER_01 9:38

You're gonna start the revolution in a Walmart.

SPEAKER_08 9:41

Well, and honestly, Ethan, I'll go as far, I never would, but if you're in a group of people and you're complaining, do you know what I mean? Like you're in a Walmart, and you're like, oh, these workers don't speak English, but you're within your group, don't go to the that lady was just trying to fulfill some mobile orders. Also, the guy was fulfilling mobile orders, he doesn't need to speak English.

SPEAKER_01 10:04

So the whole thing was crazy.

SPEAKER_08 10:06

I was like, okay.

SPEAKER_01 10:07

Feel feel free to shut me down on this, guys. Feel free to shut me down on this. This is just my personal belief.

SPEAKER_02 10:13

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01 10:14

Um, when it comes to language barriers, just in general, like people not speaking English. Yeah, I I don't it maybe it's just me. I don't get upset about that.

SPEAKER_08 10:30

No, it's also, I think, with the language barrier, like there are so many people that come into my part of employment where I am a barista who don't speak English, and we figure out what they need.

SPEAKER_01 10:42

I can't wait to chop up everything that you say this episode and make you sound so racist because of how bad you're because of how bad your connection is.

SPEAKER_11 10:53

No, I know. I would never do that.

SPEAKER_01 10:55

I would never do that. Um that's on the Patreon only, guys.

SPEAKER_08 10:58

Yeah, you have to pay for me to be racist.

SPEAKER_01 11:03

Taylor's racism is for sale.

SPEAKER_08 11:05

It's for sale. I don't do that for free. Um, no, I yeah, I don't think it's hard if you just take a couple seconds to like, you know what I mean? Like, it's not hard.

SPEAKER_01 11:16

Well, no, I I think it is hard. I think that it's challenging. I think that like it can be frustrating.

SPEAKER_08 11:23

But also, she would have just been like, I need a shovel. He could have pointed to Lawn and Garden. Do you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 11:31

Well, my thing is is like, let's say that I were to go to another country. I wouldn't want them to treat me like shit because I don't speak Italian, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_08 11:43

Like, why are you so rude? Stop being like that.

SPEAKER_06 11:47

The biggest thing is is don't be rude. Or I disagree. If you're gonna live in another country, like no other country, uh maybe mine is like Canada and well, maybe Europe. Never mind, the list is longer than I thought, but uh you know, you assimilate, you know, try. Yeah, yeah. Uh I do know so so my poppy came over here when I believe he was 17 from El Salvador. Not legal. Since then he became legal, you know. Um this was a long, long time ago. Yeah, but you know, he's a firm believer in like no, you assimilate. That's that's why you come here.

Language Barriers And Basic Decency

SPEAKER_01 12:25

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I and honestly, I I know now I'm gonna look like the racist. I have friends that you know, no, I know like a handful of people who don't speak English as their primary language. I don't know a ton of people, but I know a handful. Yeah, and out of the people that I do know, like they at least have a passable understanding of English, which I I think that at least that shows you're putting in the effort, you know what I mean? Like if somebody comes up to you and they're like, hey, where's the shovels? You at least understand enough to be like point this way, you know.

SPEAKER_06 13:03

Yeah, yeah. I'm not saying it should be perfect with with a West Virginian accent, you know what I mean.

SPEAKER_01 13:09

Also, I want that lady to take a Rosetta Stone class and show me how easy it is to learn a second language because my dumbass can't learn Spanish. I've tried, I can't do it.

SPEAKER_08 13:22

He probably did know enough English to help her, but she heard him say one thing in Spanish and then just assumed. Do you know what I mean? Like, I feel like that's what it is. Like I said, whenever people come into my place of employment, even if they I've had a handful of people who like don't speak English at all, but a more majority of them can like figure out, like they can be like, oh cappuccino, this size. I'll get you a medium cappuccino, I can do that. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_06 13:52

Like listen, I don't I don't go to that certain place to get coffee, yeah. But that's me. I'm like, um, small, medium, large. I small, medium, large. I need a lot. Yeah. Um I don't do Venti the Vici Uno Dose, whatever. I don't do that.

SPEAKER_08 14:13

Uh Da Vinci?

SPEAKER_06 14:15

Da Vinci Code, that's what I was talking about.

SPEAKER_08 14:16

Yes, yes, yes.

SPEAKER_01 14:17

Have you have you ever seen the movie Role Models? Have you guys seen role models? Yeah, dude, I own like three coffee when when he's arguing about the coffee at the beginning, and he's like, now you're stupid in two languages. And she's like, it's called a Vinti because it's 20, 20 ounces, venti.

SPEAKER_08 14:39

Uh, did you know that a trenta is 30 ounces, guys?

SPEAKER_04 14:43

Hmm. I don't speak German.

SPEAKER_06 14:45

Sorry, I didn't know that.

SPEAKER_04 14:47

Well, you speak a little.

SPEAKER_08 14:52

Watch, it goes on the internet.

SPEAKER_01 14:54

Whoa. Um, so, anyways, um, that's that's a good story. I think it's a good conversation. I I think um, yeah, I can't I can't learn Spanish. I do think that it would be really funny if that's the case, if he just was like completely fluent in two languages and she was just such a bitch right out the gate that he was just like, I'm gonna pretend I don't know English.

SPEAKER_08 15:19

I just I can't I can't get over the guy who was like, Why are you so mad? And then, like, did the Lord's work by following her around the store?

SPEAKER_01 15:27

Did he film her? This this sounds like a filming situation.

SPEAKER_08 15:30

No, he didn't film, but he was like a six-two buff dude. He just kept going, Why you mad? Up on her, why you why are you mad?

SPEAKER_01 15:37

Tell me more about this guy. Six two buff.

SPEAKER_08 15:41

That's it. Six two and buff. Oh, all right, asking why she was mad, and then followed her around the store. It was really funny. I said, Oh that sucks for you. It made her so uncomfortable. Good, acting like that.

SPEAKER_06 15:57

Yeah, that's what that's what people like that deserve.

SPEAKER_08 15:59

Yeah, and that was my thing, and it's so funny because everyone is employed, so I called Sabrina after tell her about it. Because I was like, This is wild. Um, I was telling her, I said, I either need to learn how to fight or learn how to shut my mouth. And she said, Well, I've known you for 24 years, so you better learn how to fight.

SPEAKER_01 16:16

So this this brought up a funny story that I gotta tell you guys. So um I bought my new house, right? And the people that we bought the house from didn't finish all of the work that we agreed to in the contract. So they're supposed to come out and finish it, right? And it's been a while. So I text the realtor that we bought the house from, not my realtor, their realtor.

SPEAKER_07 16:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:43

People that we bought the house from. So I text that realtor because that's what I was instructed by my realtor to do. So I'm like, hey, when are you going to come and fix this pipe? We have a pipe, a gas line that they ran through our like breakfast area, and it's just on the wall. It's an eyesore, and they're supposed to cover it up.

SPEAKER_07 17:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:05

So um, she says, uh, she says we have the piece. When can you be available? So I was like, well, I'm off Saturdays and Sundays, so Saturday or Sunday, whatever works for you. Don't hear back. Saturday rolls around. No time, nothing. I I've gotten nothing back from this lady. Saturday rolls around. A work van shows up at my front door, guy gets out, comes to my door, does not speak English. Not not even not even a little bit. Right, like complete total language barrier.

SPEAKER_07 17:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:48

So he comes to the door and I'm like, Can I help you? And he shows me a picture of the pipe in my house. And I was like, Okay, do you have the materials? And he just stares at me.

SPEAKER_03 18:00

No abolos English.

SPEAKER_01 18:02

So so I bring him in and I and I point to the pipe and I show him, and he goes, see, and then he shows me the picture, and I was like, Yes, do you have the materials to do the job? So now I'm like miming a hammer and stuff, right? So yes. So so he's smart and he gets, I didn't even think about this, but he gets on his phone and he goes to Google Translate. Yeah, and hands me, yeah, hands me his phone, so I I type it in there and I give it back to him, and he types back they sent me. Now I'm like, okay. Who who is they? What company are you with? And where is the stuff to do the job? You're just holding a phone. You have oh, I'm sorry, he's holding a phone and painter's tape. What I don't know what he planned on doing.

The Home Repair Saga

Like, look, like it was the Cuban government. They sent him.

SPEAKER_01 19:02

I dude, I was I was baffled. They sent a Timu assassin. So I I get I get his phone back. I get his phone back, and I'm like, what company are you with? And he says, the realtor. I said, okay, we're not even gonna dive into that anymore. I've moved past the company question. I tech I text on his phone, I'm like, where are the materials to do the job? Hand it back to him. He holds up, he holds up the tape. No, and I take I take the phone, I take the phone, and I'm like, you need to get a hold of whoever sent you and tell them that you do not have the materials to do the job. I need you to leave and come back with the materials, right? Yeah, so he he reads all of that, he apologizes and leaves.

SPEAKER_07 19:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:52

The realtor texts me. Oh, you know what? Fuck it. I'm putting her on blast.

SPEAKER_08 19:57

I got I'd watch in case you have to like actually take a record.

SPEAKER_01 20:01

No, I've got the receipts, dude. We're gonna we're gonna do this. We're gonna do this. The public deserves to know. I'm not gonna say I'm not gonna say her name or anything.

SPEAKER_08 20:52

Sasha.

SPEAKER_06 20:53

Maggie. No. Maggie is crazy. No, no, no.

SPEAKER_08 20:56

Maggie is such a sweet name.

SPEAKER_06 20:57

I don't know what an Eastern name is.

SPEAKER_08 20:59

Me either. I don't think I want to try. Not on the internet.

SPEAKER_01 21:09

All right. Uh Chris, tell me about. Oh, never mind. Hold on. I found it. Okay. Here we go.

SPEAKER_08 21:16

Oh, yeah, that's great. He wanted to hear about you, Chris, and now he doesn't because he found the text messages. How does that make you feel? He just was using you to fill a void in time. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_06 21:27

I'm used to it.

SPEAKER_04 21:28

I'm used to it.

SPEAKER_08 21:29

Chris.

SPEAKER_04 21:32

Okay. All right. So.

SPEAKER_01 21:39

Oh wow. Dude, I didn't know you could do this. Did you know that you can delete text messages and they disappear from the other person's phone?

SPEAKER_06 21:50

If you do it before they read it, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 21:52

She deleted her text messages to me.

SPEAKER_06 21:56

Uh uh. You didn't screenshot it?

SPEAKER_01 21:59

No.

SPEAKER_06 22:00

Why didn't you screenshot? You always screenshot things, man.

SPEAKER_01 22:03

Well, so this is she didn't delete she didn't delete all of them, but this is where we left off. She says, You said during the day, I asked him to be there at 10. He said he knew what he and he knew what needed to be done. He said you didn't let him do it because you didn't know anything about it. So to which I responded, um that you know there needed to be better communication, blah, blah, blah, right?

SPEAKER_08 22:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 22:29

She said he was scheduled to take a look at the job. Now, mind you, her previous her previous text messages to me says that he that they have the material to finish the work. Yeah, they have already come out and looked at everything. They're the ones that put the pipe. You know what I mean? So like, whoa.

SPEAKER_06 22:49

Dude, I didn't personally zoom in. You were like Bjorn.

SPEAKER_01 22:53

So so, anyways, like so they have everything in order to do the job, I'm told. So, anyways, she says that he was scheduled to come and take a look at the job, and and then they would take care of the problem. All I had to do was let him in and show him the pipe and where it was located. The rest of the job of it. The rest of the job would get done. He was a licensed carpenter, and now he doesn't want to come back. If I knew you were so hard to work with, I wouldn't have let you move in at all before the jobs were done.

SPEAKER_02 23:27

What the fuck?

SPEAKER_01 23:28

I went above and beyond to accommodate your needs, and now I have to deal with all of this. Dude, I lost it. I lost it.

SPEAKER_08 23:36

Make sure you screenshot all of those. I would be taking them to court.

SPEAKER_01 23:41

I said, again, that's not what you told me. You said the contractor was ready to get the job done today. When the contractor came without the materials, I asked him about it. He said he didn't speak English and wasn't sure what was needed to be done. You again did not communicate to me a time, nor did you communicate who would be coming to my house. This is on you, not me. Also, the work should have been done prior to closing, which is what you were supposed to do. So I don't know what to tell you, but the work needs done.

SPEAKER_06 24:14

You should have pointed out the painter's tape. When asked if he had the materials, he literally held up painter's tape.

SPEAKER_01 24:21

So do you know why I figured out why he had the painter's tape? Do you know why? He was going to measure the area with painter's tape.

SPEAKER_08 24:31

I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_06 24:33

No, how to use a tape measure.

SPEAKER_08 24:35

That's a weird one.

SPEAKER_04 24:36

I don't think he had one.

SPEAKER_08 24:38

Who did she send out? What brother-in-law did she call?

SPEAKER_01 24:43

So she says, Remind, you moved in before the gas line had been taken care of. You moved in on Sunday, the gas connected and approved on Monday. So no, we could not get a job done before the gas was completely uh completely approved. Virginia Natural Gas has to see the work, blah, blah, blah. You know, the usual.

SPEAKER_08 25:01

That still should have been done beforehand.

SPEAKER_01 25:04

I said, for the record, you did do the work while we were here prior to the gas. Your husband, who was the contractor that you hired to do the work, came in to fix this issue while I was moving my stuff in. And the price of um, hold on, hold on, hold on. Uh, to fix the issue, that's why there was a piece of wood out back that he left. Also, your brother had to come and fix the broken window that you agreed to fix prior to us moving in, and that happened two weeks after we closed on the house. I was like, this is huh?

SPEAKER_06 25:44

Did you use a like a big company? Like a name, like a no, no, no brand recognition.

SPEAKER_01 25:49

No, I mean, I'll I'll gladly throw them under the bus. I used justiah from Alcova. Oh no, that's fine. It's fine. I used Josiah from Alcova, and I used Sam from whatever company Sam was from. Um, those were my realtors, those were my realtors. Oh, and I don't know that I don't know these people. This was on their end.

SPEAKER_08 26:12

I would mess your realtors and be like, I need to figure out oh, I did.

SPEAKER_01 26:16

You know what they told me? There's new there, it's not their problem anymore. The documents are closed, they got paid, they're done.

SPEAKER_08 26:25

I would file a report with the realtor company and be like, she is unprofessional because she'll lose her license.

SPEAKER_01 26:31

Yeah, yeah, dude. It's it's been it's been a mess. Oh my god. So, anyways, she blocked me and said that she's hero, man. She blocked me and said that she wasn't gonna have this conversation anymore, and that she would direct me to a contractor. And that contractor texted me yesterday, and they will be here tomorrow to finish the job. No, and then I was gonna say, you're no, I'm not paying for it. No, yeah, no, but they're gonna fix the job tomorrow. So good.

SPEAKER_08 26:59

Well, I I still would reach out to wherever whoever she works with, or like Chris said, the business bureau and be like, this is what I had to deal with.

SPEAKER_01 27:09

Well, that like I said, the the story from your Walmart experience is what reminded me of that story. I was dude, I was baffled. Um so yeah, language barriers can be frustrating. I can tell you firsthand. I mean, I but there's a right way to go about it and a wrong way.

SPEAKER_08 27:26

I had a DoorDasher scream at me once because I didn't speak Spanish.

SPEAKER_01 27:30

We were talking about DoorDash today, Chris.

SPEAKER_08 27:33

Yeah, screamed in my face about it. I was like, okay.

Tipping, DoorDash, And Etiquette

SPEAKER_01 27:36

So so I told this man right here a little fun story about me, and I'm gonna fix my ways. You you have convinced me that I need to fix my ways. Um, I don't tip DoorDashers.

SPEAKER_08 27:50

What? Yeah, Charlie.

SPEAKER_01 27:53

Well, so no, let me rephrase that. I do whatever like the thing is that generates, like whatever it says, like it'll be like four bucks or me. Yeah, whatever. Um, but Chris gives a cash tip.

SPEAKER_06 28:06

Along with gener, we normally choose the minimum on the app and then give a cash tip because screw the government, they don't need to know.

SPEAKER_08 28:15

I it is fair, usually here when the DoorDash drops it off.

SPEAKER_06 28:19

So and you choose the electronic one beforehand. So, like, say they never show up. I mean, you can report your stuff, get your money back, and whatnot, but say they're douchebags, you know. You've got to go through a rig and a roll to take the tip away. Well, just give them the minimum, it is what it is, and then you know, exemplary service. Here's a 20, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_08 28:41

Yeah, yeah, that's incredible. Yeah, you know, we I I do it based on distance because where I'm at, like a lot of times if it's something up road, but like we're in the middle of doing something, and by up road I mean like literally five minutes up the road, and they get it like then we'll do like the minimum that it says, like we'll do that. Um, but if they're going Tim Buck Tim Buck too, I'm typing in a tip.

SPEAKER_01 29:08

Um Chris, how has your week been, sir? It's been all right. That's good.

SPEAKER_08 29:15

I don't believe your face is different.

SPEAKER_01 29:19

I'm just tired. It's been a long, it's been a long one. Um, Chris, you know what you can do about your tired activities? You can have sponsored a great energy drink. Chris, why don't you tell people about the energy drink since you did, in fact, try it?

SPEAKER_06 29:37

Uh Dubby.

SPEAKER_01 29:40

Dubby is the energy drink brand.

SPEAKER_06 29:43

Yes, it was uh it was good. It was good, came in a powder. Um, I did not think it was. I've had powder drinks before, they normally all taste like shit. Dubby did not. I was I was very surprised. That was zero sugar, so that was nice.

SPEAKER_01 30:02

Now, Dubby sent us a little package, and that's what you had was the sweet and sour package that they sent us. Um, from what I remember, you were bragging about how um it wasn't like an overpowering flavor, that it was more like a propel water.

SPEAKER_06 30:20

Yeah, but a little bit weaker, but how do I put this? It wasn't as strong as propel. There was no bad aftertaste, like like diet and zero sugar things normally have. Um so I I don't know what they're putting in it, but uh, because I can't read, so I didn't read the uh what's in it.

Sponsor Talk: Dubby Energy

SPEAKER_07 30:39

That's fair either.

SPEAKER_01 30:41

Did uh did it give you the boost that you needed?

SPEAKER_06 30:44

Oh, I didn't have a whole lot. Didn't have a whole lot that time.

SPEAKER_08 30:48

Hey, hey Chris. Hey, next time we're gonna rehearse, um yeah, but we need you to say that it gave you the boost you needed to get through the day.

SPEAKER_06 30:59

Oh no, no, it did. It definitely did. It wasn't a monster. We're like no, this is first thing in the morning and you're gonna have a heart attack. Like, no, no, it wasn't no.

SPEAKER_01 31:09

This this is an honest, we're honest reviewers here. Oh, yeah. We're gonna give the people the honest review.

SPEAKER_06 31:14

It definitely gave me the pick me up. I mean, it sorry, I was expecting like a Red Bull kind of right. No, no, I didn't have that.

SPEAKER_01 31:21

Well, one cool thing is that it is made wish wish. It is cool that it's made with um with an actual caffeine from coffee extract. So it's a coffee-based caffeine, so it doesn't give you the jitters that monster and g-fuel and all of those other brands give you.

SPEAKER_08 31:38

So that is the caffeine that I use. It's the natural caffeine.

SPEAKER_01 31:43

And if you're interested on the top, if you're interested in getting as hyped as Taylor is right now, go over to Dubby and use code hook and bridge at checkout and get anywhere between 15 and 30% off. I don't know when you're listening to this. Currently, it's 30% off, but it will go back down to 15 at some point in time. So if you're listening to this like a year later, uh still go on and try it out over at W Energy. Yeah, check it out.

SPEAKER_06 32:10

It's it's still good.

SPEAKER_01 32:12

Um, I'm gonna I'm not gonna lie to you guys. I'm in the the studio, which is in the garage, and it's poorly insulated. I have a space heater running right now, it is sitting at 85 degrees. Uh I'm a little chilly boy. I have the air conditioner on. Oh, a little chilly.

SPEAKER_08 32:29

Chilly. Um, do we want to pull up my bird pictures? Not to make that. Oh, yeah.

Taylor’s Cardinal Art Gift

SPEAKER_08 32:52

And Chris, before you pull them up, I need to tell Chris a story. Chris, I drew this for my father for Christmas. I don't know if Harley told you, but our nana recently passed away. Okay. So I was drawing him uh like a cardinal situation to like remember her and everything. I started out with one drawing, took me forever, took me like two and a half hours. Then I covered it, looked like a five-year-old did it. So I said, Well, now I have to redo it. So this is the redone version, and I'm I'm pretty proud.

SPEAKER_01 33:24

There you go. So let's go with this one first.

SPEAKER_08 33:30

Not the finished one, right?

SPEAKER_01 33:32

Nope, nope, not the finished one. So here is progress picture number one of Taylor's cardinal picture that she drew for our father for Christmas. Uh, what are you talking about?

SPEAKER_08 33:43

Is it blue on anyone else's screen?

SPEAKER_01 33:46

No, it's black.

SPEAKER_08 33:49

The color? The yeah.

SPEAKER_01 33:51

I mean, it's it's penciled.

SPEAKER_08 33:52

It's it's like no, I mean, wait, are you guys screwing with me?

SPEAKER_01 33:57

No.

SPEAKER_06 33:58

What are you talking about? Colorblind?

SPEAKER_08 34:01

No, I'm gonna send you a a screenshot of what I'm talking about. Anywho, keep going.

SPEAKER_01 34:08

So this is this is your first picture. Tell us tell us uh a little bit.

SPEAKER_08 34:15

It's a cardinal. What do you mean? Do you want me to move on to the next one? Yeah, there's not much to say about it.

SPEAKER_06 34:23

So is it is it a male or female cardinal? Because I can't tell.

SPEAKER_08 34:27

Um, I believe it's a female.

SPEAKER_01 34:31

Whoa, why is your screen like that?

SPEAKER_08 34:33

I don't okay. So I'm not crazy. Okay, okay, as long as it's not on your I don't know. Okay, so now we're gonna go screw with me.

SPEAKER_01 34:46

We're gonna go to progress picture number two.

SPEAKER_08 34:49

It has feet in the second one.

SPEAKER_01 34:51

That's how you tell if it's a boy or a girl.

SPEAKER_08 34:54

Yeah, it screw into a feet now.

SPEAKER_01 34:57

All right, so now we got the feet and the flowers.

SPEAKER_08 35:00

Those are cherry blossoms because they were her favorite. It's still blue. That's so weird.

SPEAKER_01 35:06

That's so weird.

SPEAKER_08 35:08

And well, you I feel like I feel like Chris didn't get to appreciate that one as much. You you went really fast.

SPEAKER_06 35:14

It's right here. You got it. Thank you.

SPEAKER_08 35:16

Chris, if you want me to draw you a bird, I'm pretty good at them now. So just let me know.

SPEAKER_01 35:20

And now there's the the finished product.

SPEAKER_08 35:23

Oh, okay. What are you talking about?

SPEAKER_01 35:25

Now it's time to harshly criticize this picture.

SPEAKER_08 35:28

I'll cry, guys. It took me all day. The detail on the bird is insane.

SPEAKER_01 35:35

No, you did a great job, buddy. Thank you.

SPEAKER_08 35:37

I um work with someone, she's also a barista, obviously, but she was an art major, and I was sending her like progress pictures and telling her about it, and she said that it was really good.

SPEAKER_01 35:48

I will say the tail, the tail is a little heavy-handed. It's a little heavy-handed on the tail.

SPEAKER_08 35:58

Chris, how do you feel about the tail?

SPEAKER_06 36:00

Uh, what Harley just said, that's the defining moment. We know what happens when you criticize artists. You need Taylor to get into art school and to remain in art school, you let me know. We'll we'll make it work.

SPEAKER_01 36:16

No. Taylor, how do you feel about a mustache?

SPEAKER_08 36:25

Chris and I make pretty boys.

SPEAKER_01 36:29

We we have had uh a few wild comments today, guys. Uh you can expect a lot more of that type of stuff from Chris and I'm new show uh called Off the Record. Uh, that'll be coming out in January.

SPEAKER_08 36:47

You know, if you and Chris got married, you guys would be he would be Chris Cornell. I'm just letting you know.

SPEAKER_06 36:52

Oh, we should do it. Oh no, oh no, there's there's not many people to pass on the uh the Burton last name, so it's Harley Burton.

SPEAKER_08 36:59

But that's really funny. Um oh H E hooking bridge.

SPEAKER_01 37:07

Dude, do I do it? Do I go change my last name? Do I legally change my last name? I do.

SPEAKER_08 37:16

I don't think Chris.

SPEAKER_01 37:18

It probably not. I wouldn't that wouldn't shock me.

SPEAKER_11 37:21

Do you know who Chris Cornell is?

SPEAKER_08 37:28

Get out of my head.

SPEAKER_06 37:40

No, I have no idea. When I first found out your last name, that's the name that popped in my head, but I'm like, I have no idea who that is.

SPEAKER_01 37:46

Taylor?

SPEAKER_08 37:47

Don't ask me questions. Let's say at the same time, right?

SPEAKER_01 37:50

Okay, I'm ready. I'm ready. One, one, two, two, three, lonely island. See, Taylor has no idea either.

SPEAKER_08 38:02

SPEAKER_01 38:05

So Chris Cornell was the lead singer for Sound Garden. Um, he was also in the band uh Temple of the Dog with Eddie Vedder. He was also in the band Audio Slave with Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine. And I think he did some other stuff too, but and then he had his solo career as well.

SPEAKER_08 38:27

And Chris, if you don't know, Eddie Vedder is from Pearl Jam.

SPEAKER_01 38:31

Yes.

SPEAKER_08 38:32

Um related to our lizard Freddy Vetter. They are distant brothers.

SPEAKER_01 38:38

SPEAKER_03 41:05

Bad music.

SPEAKER_06 41:06

The way God intended. We can cancel Chris. We're talking about genres. Honestly music and bad music. What are you talking about?

SPEAKER_08 41:19

It's not what I thought it was gonna be. You know, you're the problem.

SPEAKER_06 41:23

Turn off the news. That's right.

SPEAKER_04 41:28

Um, did you get a haircut? Are you what?

Oh, Todo. Todo uh is yacht rock.

SPEAKER_08 43:55

Makes sense. Um, number five is RB, and I'm surprised RB wasn't two.

SPEAKER_01 44:01

I also think that's surprising.

SPEAKER_08 44:03

Yeah, what is honky tonk? And I need to stop listening to that so much, apparently. It's just all the Taylor's that I've been listening to. I do listen to a bunch of people.

SPEAKER_06 44:12

You live in Florida now.

SPEAKER_01 44:13

You're informing. Oh guys, you're assimilating.

SPEAKER_08 44:18

It's gonna tell me my age.

SPEAKER_01 44:21

Well, while you're doing that, I'm gonna load up this list, but first I want to talk about songs that everyone knows the lyrics to. Uh Chris, what do you think is a song that just like everyone knows?

SPEAKER_06 44:36

Party in the USA.

SPEAKER_01 44:37

Party in the USA, Miley Cyrus?

SPEAKER_08 44:39

Good answer. Good answer.

SPEAKER_01 44:41

Taylor, what about you?

SPEAKER_08 44:43

Mr. Blind Side by the Killers.

SPEAKER_01 44:45

Bright Side, Mr. Bright Side, not Blind Side. The Blind Side's a different movie.

SPEAKER_08 44:49

Whole different concept.

SPEAKER_06 44:51

Even though the story is uh not real problematic, yes, problematic.

SPEAKER_01 44:58

Um, never mind. I was gonna say something. Chris, we really gotta we gotta do this uh off the record show so that we can say some stuff.

SPEAKER_08 45:05

Do you guys want to guess my age?

SPEAKER_01 45:07

Uh 23.

SPEAKER_08 45:09

You say 43. 24.

SPEAKER_06 45:11

43.

SPEAKER_08 45:12

SPEAKER_06 45:17

They're crow, the whatever you what do you call it? The crow's feet.

SPEAKER_08 45:19

Chris, that's crazy. I got eye cream.

SPEAKER_06 45:22

I'm just joking. You don't I didn't notice that. I was just messing.

SPEAKER_08 45:25

I recently got eye cream, and it's it's I'm actually I'm not gonna say the price out loud, but it's not cheap.

SPEAKER_01 45:31

Your your eyes look like a cat today. You look like a cat.

SPEAKER_08 45:34

Thank you.

SPEAKER_01 45:35

Just natural. Is that like a thing?

SPEAKER_08 45:38

Well, I wanted to go all out because Chris was wearing a hat and I didn't have a Christmas getup, but I will have one next week. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 45:47

Yeah, we gotta figure out the Christmas show. But anyways, um uh let's see here.

SPEAKER_08 45:53

Oh, sorry.

SPEAKER_01 45:55

Taylor's checked out.

SPEAKER_08 45:57

No, I'm just I can you guys um what do you think? Hang on. Sorry. My number one song. Sorry. Do you guys need to do it?

SPEAKER_01 46:11

Uh your number one song, it's gonna be MM?

SPEAKER_08 46:18

No, and it's not anything by Khaled, and that is very surprising.

SPEAKER_01 46:21

What's the brain a carpenter? No, surprising.

SPEAKER_08 46:25

Okay, I know.

SPEAKER_01 46:28

Um I don't know.

SPEAKER_08 46:32

Dive by Ed Sheeran?

SPEAKER_01 46:35

What are you sure that somebody didn't hack your Spotify?

SPEAKER_08 46:39

No, no, literally, Dive by Ed Sheeran. It goes Dive by Ed Sheeran, Paper Rings by Taylor Swift, London Bridge by Fergie. That one makes sense. Your baby and I rocked out to London Bridge by Fergula. Um Chemical by Post Malone, which also makes sense, and then Wonder by Tom.

SPEAKER_06 47:02

What I thought that was my guess for your number one song.

SPEAKER_08 47:10

Oh, sorry, it it made sorry, it made me guess. My number one song was Paper Rings by Taylor Swift. That makes more sense than Jiren.

SPEAKER_01 47:17

I guess.

SPEAKER_08 47:19

But it still doesn't make sense. I agree.

SPEAKER_05 47:22

Everybody shh, bit lit, of music duck.

The 10 Songs Everyone Knows

SPEAKER_01 47:35

Of music stuff. All right, coming in, we have the top 10 songs that everyone knows the words to. Ah uh, this is like the perfect list. I I thought of Chris the entire time that I was pulling this list up. Um, because these are songs that I feel like arguably I don't have to tell you about. I feel like you just know them.

SPEAKER_06 47:58

Yeah, yeah.

Holy shit. Not even a music guy. We went over the yeah.

SPEAKER_08 48:04

No, you're so right. This is a fantastic list.

SPEAKER_01 48:07

So coming in at number 10, we have Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond, who wants to take a crack at singing this one.

SPEAKER_06 48:16

No, God, no. I don't even want you to say in the name. It's gonna be stuck in my head. I'm gonna have nightmares.

SPEAKER_01 48:22

Ready, Taylor? Taylor, let's let's do it in a round. Ready? Three, two, not in a round, not like the musical term around. I don't want us to like start and then go. I want to.

SPEAKER_08 48:33

SPEAKER_01 48:55

Um, all right. So I'm gonna give that one a five. Yes, Taylor.

SPEAKER_08 49:01

Um, sorry. Oh, five for that one, but the next one I just need everyone to know that I know every single word to it. And my mom believed me when I did it one time, and she thought I Googled the lyrics, but I just love this song.

SPEAKER_01 49:15

Um Chris, what do you rate sweet Caroline? One. Really? You don't like this song?

SPEAKER_06 49:23

No, dude, it's like baby shark.

SPEAKER_04 49:26

Baby shark.

SPEAKER_06 49:32

Especially the metal version's good. Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_08 49:35

Yeah, metal version's pretty sick.

SPEAKER_01 49:38

Um coming in at number nine, we have my wife's favorite song, Don't Stop Believing by Journey. Who wants to wants to give a shot at Journey?

SPEAKER_06 49:49

You're not getting me to sing.

SPEAKER_08 49:51

Do you want me to do the whole version? Do you want me to do all of it?

SPEAKER_01 49:54

Or you start from the beginning, and then um, when it gets to just a small town boy, I'll sing it. Ready? Go ahead.

SPEAKER_09 50:01

Ready? Just a small town girl. Living in a lonely world. She took the midnight train going.

SPEAKER_01 50:19

The freezing was perfect. I froze just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit.

SPEAKER_08 50:29

Was it going anywhere?

SPEAKER_01 50:32

He took the midnight drink overwin to the place. I almost said the place. All right. Uh I'll give that one a four. Honestly, when it comes to journey, when it comes to journey, this is my least favorite journey song.

SPEAKER_06 50:52

That's fair. Yeah, but are you are you are you are you rating it based on other songs by the artist or like that?

SPEAKER_01 51:00

That's a good question. Um, I what am I what am I rating it on?

SPEAKER_08 51:04

Uh probably a scale of one out of five.

SPEAKER_01 51:06

I think that's what we've been doing, but so in in context of this list particularly, I rate it a five. But gotcha. Okay, okay. In context of journey, I would say three.

SPEAKER_06 51:22

Okay. Out of five.

SPEAKER_01 51:25

Out of five.

SPEAKER_06 51:26

Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 51:27
