Backstreet Boys – As Long As You Love Me (This Is Actually Creepy)

This week, we’re joined by comedian Aaron Gocs to break down As Long as You Love Me by Backstreet Boys.

What starts as a harmless 90s pop hit quickly turns into a deep dive into fugitives, war crimes, Ponzi schemes and one of the darkest lyrical breakdowns we’ve ever done.

We cover:

• Could Aaron Gocs beat all five Backstreet Boys in a fight?
 • Lou Pearlman’s insane scam empire
 • The weirdly criminal undertones of this song
 • The best songs of the 1997 game
 • Why Smash Mouth somehow took the crown

It's always at the big game. I'm a big fan of that bit. That's that's fantastic.

00:02:19.00
Aaron

00:02:24.60
Bevo
ah

00:02:26.79
gav
you've You've committed to the bit.

00:02:28.44
Aaron
I hope you don't mind me lumping. It's like, well, you guys are doing.

00:02:32.09
gav
Yeah, we've been living this nightmare for six years now.

00:02:36.95

00:03:03.54
Chibbs

Oh, man.

00:03:03.86
Aaron
nothing

00:03:05.59
gav
o and

00:03:07.10
Chibbs
Well, we asked Oxy what song we are going to do, and he chose a song that came out in 1997. It is a massive hit for a boy band called the Backstreet Boys from their self-todded album. They are best known for being and man but for being manufactured by one of the world's most infamous con artists.

00:03:27.22
Chibbs
And we're discussing the track, As Long As You Love Me.

00:03:47.10
Chibbs
You get the gist.

00:03:48.77
Aaron
I feel like this is a repeated thing in pop music. e the light But but this the cynical part of like it's meant to be really lovely and beautiful, but the cynical part of me is they're just saying, you'll do it, like anyone will do it. Yeah.

00:04:06.01
Chibbs
Keep the bar low. So low.

00:04:07.42
gav
yeah

00:04:07.97
Aaron
Yeah.

00:04:08.31
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:04:08.76
Bevo
I kind of, i I try to imagine that they've gone, we need a song that every fan will relate to. And it's like, it kind of overshoots a bit like saying, I love all the fans.

00:04:15.83
Aaron
yeah

00:04:19.06
Aaron
Yeah, that's they're all saying, he chose me.

00:04:19.47

00:04:22.01
gav
and

00:04:22.22
Bevo
Yeah.

00:04:24.51

00:04:29.70
Aaron
Yeah.

00:04:31.32
gav
I wasn't actually talking about you.

00:04:32.92

Bevo
Yeah. Ducking and weaving.

Chibbs

00:10:51.63
gav
Yeah, yeah.

00:10:51.96
Chibbs
yeah

00:10:52.86
Bevo
I also think because there's so many of them, you can kind of confuse them into going like they can't, they they start arguing over who's going first.

00:10:58.09
Aaron
Yeah.

00:11:00.46
Bevo
And in the meantime, you're getting in there.

00:11:02.01
gav
Just picking them off, just roundhouse kicking them from the outside.

00:11:02.68
Aaron
Yeah.

00:11:03.51
Bevo
Yeah. Play them against each other a little bit, I think.

00:11:04.85
gav
Yeah.

00:11:06.61
Bevo
is the burden Yeah.

00:11:06.68
gav
Yeah.

00:11:06.78
Chibbs
They don't seem like gang bashes, the Backstreet Boys. I feel like they would have enough respect to go one for one. like They'd be like, it's my turn, now it's your turn.

00:11:14.21
gav
What? Yeah, it'd be choreographed. It'd be choreographed.

00:11:16.10
Bevo
Like a, like a Japanese, like a Japanese Kung Fu film, where it's like, they take their turn to, to,

00:11:16.70
Chibbs
It's choreographed.

00:11:19.29
Aaron

gav
absolutely

00:11:19.77
Chibbs
Yeah, exactly. Yes.

00:11:21.50
Aaron
You know what would suck? Because going back from this current era when it's like, oh, like, this would be cool to get this video because everyone's got a phone camera.

00:11:29.88
gav
ah

00:11:31.70
Aaron
And it's like yeah fighting the Backstreet Boys and then, but you got to go back in time and there's no way to record it or nothing.

00:11:38.07
gav
yeah that's a nightmare yeah no worries no worries

00:11:38.36
Bevo
Yeah, you tell people that happened, yeah.

00:11:38.84
Aaron
No one will believe you. Just like, I just had a fight with the Backstreet Boys. And they're like, sure, buddy. Like, you know, ease up off the bongs, buddy. You know, like, yeah.

00:11:48.09
Chibbs

Chibbs
They never hit the As long as you love them.

gav
Brian is bad.

00:15:21.69
Aaron
Yeah.

00:15:21.98

Yeah. Anyway, he says, although loneliness has always been a friend of mine, I'm leaving my life in your hands. People say I'm crazy and that I'm blind.

00:15:36.32
Chibbs
Risking it all in a glance and how you got me blind is still a mystery. i can't get you I can't get you out of my head.

00:15:43.77
Bevo
Maybe it is Ray Charles. I

00:15:47.68
Chibbs
Don't care what is written in your history as long as you're here with me.

00:15:54.39
gav
okay yeah that's it

00:15:54.78
Bevo
feel like loneliness would be the shittiest friend to have.

00:15:58.07
Aaron
You got to keep in mind a lot of these like manufactured bands that were just like, I think it was like some Swedish guy i was just pumping out the hits for them too.

00:16:06.52
Bevo
Yeah, yeah he was it.

00:16:06.55
Chibbs
Yeah, Max.

00:16:08.03
Bevo
Yeah.

Aaron
three

00:16:12.76
Chibbs
Like, yeah.

00:16:13.35
gav
individually

00:16:13.35
Aaron
Your first thought is like, what a, what a lovely thing for these young gentlemen to say. And then you're like, Oh, it's this sort of stale guy, you know, just pumping it out

00:16:21.14
Chibbs
I think...

00:16:22.60
gav
Stale old Swede.

00:16:24.61
Chibbs
I think we've done we've done so many Max Martin songs now on this podcast.

00:16:24.86
Aaron
Yeah. And

00:16:28.31
Chibbs
We're almost 600 episodes into this podcast. and And Max Martin has come up a lot. And he flat out just says, I just, I don't know. i don't know what any that means.

00:16:36.79
Bevo
I don't speak very good English.

00:16:38.81
Chibbs
Yeah, me no eat they know English good.

00:16:39.40
Aaron
Yeah. It was, it was, ah he did the, like, you know ever seen those fridges with those magnets where you can just like make a sentence?

00:16:46.42
Bevo
yeah.

00:16:46.42
Chibbs
yeah

00:16:46.62
Bevo
yeah

00:16:47.18
Aaron
Yeah. This is like putting words to together, like the original sort of AI, you know?

00:16:48.18
gav
yeah yeah yeah Oh my God.

00:16:52.63
Bevo
I want to highlight here.

00:16:52.75
gav
Well, fucking.

00:16:53.43
Bevo
ah I like that. I like that. He says, people say I'm crazy and then I'm blind and then a line later and how you got me blind is still a mystery. It's like, it's a real big thing is like that some kind acid attack or.

00:17:01.91
Aaron
It's not

00:17:03.70
gav
hello

00:17:06.46
gav
Yeah.

00:17:06.46
Chibbs
this Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:17:06.62
gav
Well, I liked that the lot, the line, two lines about him being blind and the one line in between them was about him looking at something, risking it all at a glance.

00:17:08.10
Chibbs
Charming.

00:17:15.35
Bevo
ah Great.

00:17:16.32
gav
It's like glancing at what you're fucking blind.

00:17:19.03
Chibbs
Yeah, but he's got those, like, he's got those fucked up eyes that are all white and shit, and it's just like, are you looking at me?

00:17:19.77
Aaron
it's just

00:17:25.65
Aaron
It's also like I was saying before where to them, they think it's this really beautiful, lovely thing, but they're like, they're actually saying like, everyone's telling me you're fugly.

00:17:36.05
Aaron
Like, you're like, everyone's going, Brian, what are you doing with that bloody two out of 10?

00:17:38.41
gav
Yeah.

00:17:43.30
Aaron
Like, yeah.

00:17:43.38
Bevo
I go. Yeah. Yeah.

00:17:45.43
Chibbs
Just like, who's like, who's just going like, whoop, whoop, whoop, and smacking her head into the, was just like I think she's actually crazy.

00:17:49.01
Bevo
Yeah.

00:17:49.43
Aaron
Yeah.

00:17:52.49
Chibbs
i think that's a crazy person. And why does she have a cane?

00:17:54.88
gav
I just can't get her out of my head.

00:17:55.38
Aaron
Yeah.

00:17:56.63
Chibbs
Why does she have a cane and a dog?

00:17:56.73
gav
ah

00:18:00.89
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:18:01.43
gav
So the implication though is that she has blinded him, right? She has committed an acid attack on Nick or Brian, right?

00:18:06.90
Aaron
yeah

00:18:09.18
Chibbs
Nick or Brian have had a charming little asset attack, and...

00:18:12.44
gav
um Nothing wrong with a charming little acid attack.

00:18:14.65
Chibbs
hey we've spoken about it before, Gavin.

00:18:14.69
gav
Yeah. Yeah. Yep.

00:18:16.77
Chibbs
It's like this used to be a real this used to be a real method of terrorism and it's out the window now.

00:18:17.02
gav
have yes yeah

00:18:22.13
Chibbs
You never hear of an acid attack.

00:18:22.33
gav
yeah

00:18:22.70
Bevo
It's Gavin Song, bring back the acid attack.

00:18:24.73
gav
Bring back the acid attack.

00:18:25.18
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:18:26.37
gav
Bring back the acid attack. Come on now. Yeah, I'm working on it.

00:18:30.23
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:18:30.70
gav
That's releasing this fall.

00:18:31.57
Chibbs
its

00:18:32.76
Aaron
Yeah.

00:18:32.89
gav
um

00:18:33.94
Aaron
But even the implication is like, that's what they're saying is like, what why are you with this person?

00:18:33.98
gav
So...

00:18:33.98
Chibbs
Get Max.

00:18:40.39
Aaron
You know? Like

00:18:41.53
gav
yeah. yeah

00:18:42.71
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:18:42.87
Bevo
And as we're about to find out, it's like, not only are they probably a bit aggo, but also like there's a history, there's a sordid past here.

00:18:42.90
gav
so

00:18:43.34
Chibbs
It's a mystery.

00:18:44.47
Aaron
what a lovely. Yeah.

00:18:51.04
gav
Oh, we're about to learn of of the sordid past, are we?

00:18:52.59
Bevo
Yeah. We're not about to learn. We're just about to learn that there is a past.

00:18:56.82
gav
ah Okay.

00:18:57.21
Chibbs
but It's wild that this, so this is one of their biggest songs, verse one, mostly around the mystery of blindness.

00:18:57.46
Bevo
We never really find out.

00:19:04.85
Chibbs
yet Yet, the Backstreet Boys sold over 130 million albums worldwide and are the best-selling boy band of all time and one of the best-selling musical artists of all time.

00:19:04.95
Bevo
yeah

00:19:16.61
gav
Jesus. jesus

00:19:17.62
Chibbs
ah They were the first group since Led Zeppelin to have their first 10 albums reach the top 10 on the Billboard 200.

00:19:25.39
Bevo
Wow.

00:19:26.74
gav
That's pretty insane.

00:19:27.09
Chibbs
Would you have put that together?

00:19:27.45
Bevo
It's a whole new era.

00:19:28.07
Chibbs
You go, yeah I'm more of a, you know, like a Zeppelin and Backstreet Boys fan myself. I really respect their work.

00:19:36.50
gav
yeah They're in the same, same tier, same tier, Backstreet Boys.

00:19:39.42
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:19:39.50
Bevo
And there's enough, there's enough record buying public that those two categories can exist with that many sales separately because the people with that.

00:19:46.68
gav
like zero crossover on the Venn diagram of those two fan bases.

00:19:46.78
Chibbs
Yes.

00:19:48.02
Bevo
Yeah. Well, not zero crossover, but very little.

00:19:50.55
gav
Very little.

00:19:51.35
Bevo
Yeah.

00:19:51.45
gav
um Sorry, just the very last section of there. And I think this is definitely going to play in more in the chorus, but it's alarming that he absolutely doesn't care at all what she's done in her past.

00:20:01.18
Bevo
This is what I'm saying.

00:23:55.48
Bevo
Yeah, yeah.

00:24:02.78
Bevo
since We are not up to the chorus yet.

gav
It's it's past tense. What you did.

00:24:37.78
Aaron
Because that's a lot more sinister.

Yeah. Yeah.

00:24:50.58
Chibbs
Well, did implies that they did something.

00:24:50.69

00:29:44.11
Bevo
Wow.

00:29:47.01
Chibbs
Doesn't really matter if you're on the run. It seems like we're meant to be.

Bevo

Aaron

00:30:01.75
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:30:03.73
Aaron
Like, even a crim. Like, if you're a crim, yeah.

00:30:06.33
gav
Yeah, literally

00:30:07.70
Chibbs
Criminal record does not disqualify you from me wanting to be in a serious relationship with you.

00:30:10.58
Aaron
Yeah. Yeah.

00:30:13.34
Bevo
My standards have never been lower.

00:30:13.50
gav
actively fleeing the law.

00:30:16.09
Chibbs
The thing is, it's not even to the point of having a criminal record. She hasn't got one yet because she's on the run floor.

00:30:21.34
Aaron
Yeah.

00:30:22.66
gav
haven't, she's not convicted yet. Yeah, yeah.

00:30:24.82
Chibbs

00:30:26.70
Chibbs
Technically clean.

gav
strong Strong evidence against Yeah.

00:30:31.19
Chibbs
Yeah, yeah, yeah. When I did find her, she was covered. Her arms up to the elbows were covered in blood. But, um you know, hey, it seems like it's me.

gav
Oh, God.

00:30:42.23
Aaron
how was saying before, her like for for fans, they want that thing of like, oh, maybe I'm a chance. So it's like, yeah, all the young sort of, this very niche, any pop star fans who are also crims are like, yes.

00:30:48.96
gav
It could be

00:30:49.37
Bevo
yeah

00:30:57.32
Aaron
Yeah.

00:30:57.40
Bevo
yeah

00:30:59.67
gav
yeah

00:31:00.40
Bevo
You know what I also like in this is the first part where he says, every little thing that you have said and done feels like it's deep within me because he knows some of the evidence, but he won't tell the cops or the FBI. Keeping it mum, I think.

00:31:09.91
gav
So true. He's holding out.

00:31:11.37
Aaron
And...

00:31:12.32
Bevo
ain capin it mum

00:31:13.81
gav
Keeping it real tight.

00:31:15.06
Chibbs
Don't you think it's – if you want to be so literal with it, you find that someone who's trying to escape the law has found a Backstreet Boy, has managed to actually get get in touch with a Backstreet Boy, become very personal with them to the point that they know their crimes and are hiding them for them.

00:31:15.10
gav
Good on him.

00:31:32.45
Chibbs
And it's like, yeah, I just love you so much.

00:31:32.73
Bevo
And also don't give a shit about them because they love them so much.

00:31:36.86
Chibbs
I don't care that you ah yeah blew up a shopping centre in Minnesota for –

00:31:38.55
Bevo
Yeah.

00:31:43.48
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:31:45.12
Aaron
Mm-hmm.

00:31:46.19
Chibbs
Yeah. I just don't care.

00:31:46.87
gav
Oh, fantastic. Yeah.

00:31:48.25
Chibbs
I don't care. i I agree. They all deserve to die. Yeah. Yeah. Me, Nick Carter believes that you did the right thing.

00:31:54.71
gav
ah

00:31:59.40
gav
That's a sound bite. That's, yeah. They'll play that in court in a court of law at some point.

00:32:02.50
Bevo
No, we have to say allegedly, allegedly at the start.

00:32:03.53
gav
Yeah. yeah

00:32:05.91
Chibbs
Yeah. I need to get ah just a pre-recording. Allegedly.

00:32:10.30
Bevo
Everything said in this podcast is hearsay or allegedly.

00:32:10.97
Chibbs
Uh,

00:32:14.01
Chibbs
As long as you love me, it topped the charts in Lithuania, New Zealand, the Philippines, Romania.

00:32:19.33
Aaron
Thank you.

00:32:19.49
Chibbs
Peaked at number two in Australia and Austria. Number three in Canada and the yeah UK. Number four in Switzerland and Sweden. And number five in the Netherlands and Norway. I'd consider that to be a hit.

00:32:30.74
Bevo
but Where did you say, where did it land in the US?

00:32:31.10
gav
It's a hit. It's a hit.

00:32:33.75
Chibbs
It doesn't say.

00:32:35.00
Bevo
Oh, interesting.

00:32:36.92
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:32:37.69
Bevo
Okay.

00:32:37.89
gav
I'm imagining being like, you know, he he fucking phones up the CD place. He's like, stop the presses. I've got the best pop song ever recorded. It's going to hit number two in Austria.

00:32:48.14
gav
And it's like, oh, fuck.

00:32:48.44
Bevo
Number five.

00:32:48.57
Chibbs
yeah

00:32:49.04
Bevo
and

00:32:50.55
Chibbs
This is top five in Norway, no doubt.

00:32:50.87
gav
oh

00:32:53.37
Chibbs
I'll bet my career on it.

00:32:54.55
gav
we will We will crack that Scandinavian top five.

00:32:54.68
Chibbs
Yeah,

00:32:57.63
gav
I have zero. i have very low doubt.

00:32:59.06
Bevo
I also, I imagine that, you know, you've got like the record pressing plant is very different to the CD burning plant where you just have a bunch of Hewlett Packards.

00:33:00.27
gav
Oh, my God.

00:33:05.66
Chibbs
yeah.

00:33:05.81
gav
So good.

00:33:08.47
Chibbs
I imagine they're just USB CD burners.

00:33:09.27
Aaron
Yeah, like, yeah, like, does it count on the charts if you're on like, as is super six songs mix or you know, those ones.

00:33:10.79
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:33:20.41
gav
oh my god

00:33:20.76
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:33:21.85
Aaron
Little peek into my pasta.

00:33:22.36
gav

00:33:23.37
Aaron
Yeah.

00:33:23.74
gav
ah Oh, fuck.

00:33:26.23
Aaron
But also those countries that like don't speak English, I guess they say like they learn from pop music and pop culture, but how much of, I guess it's not the like the most fanciest, like hardest lyrics to decipher, is it

00:33:26.55
Chibbs
ah

00:33:34.01
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:33:41.50
gav
No, not really. you could you could You could follow along pretty well with this, I suspect, if you were a non-native English speaker.

00:33:42.78
Chibbs
I mean, it's...

00:33:47.46
Chibbs
It's written by a non-native English speaker. Yeah.

00:33:49.88
Bevo
yeah

00:33:49.88
gav
Yeah, it's true.

00:33:49.85
Aaron
Yeah.

00:33:50.94
Bevo
And also all of us as not as ink native English speakers didn't know that it was about criminal charges.

00:33:51.15
gav
Yeah.

00:33:56.89
Chibbs
yeah That's right, yeah, on the run from the law.

00:33:57.98

gav
nothing

00:33:59.54
Aaron
listen

00:33:59.64
Chibbs
My God, who would have thought? The interlude is Nick and all. It's like, what okay, good glad they specified that.

00:34:08.38
Aaron
So what?

00:34:08.92
gav
They specified, yeah.

00:34:10.65
Chibbs

00:34:11.13
Aaron
Nick and all.

00:34:17.50

Bevo
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:34:20.02

Chibbs
Yeah.

00:34:21.82
gav
and oh

00:34:21.95
Chibbs
a and He gets straight into the bridge, Brian, with Howie and Nick. I didn't even know there was a backstreet boy called Howie.

00:34:31.18
Bevo
He's the guy that buys the Grog, I think, for the rest the show.

00:34:33.50
gav
a

00:34:34.54
Chibbs
No, I'm sure that's Kevin.

00:34:34.76
Bevo
Howie.

00:34:36.69
Aaron
like At least props to him for shortening his name because Howard wouldn't have.

00:34:37.21
Chibbs
Big Kev.

00:34:40.60
Aaron
Yeah.

00:34:40.84
Chibbs
Nah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:34:40.92
Bevo
Yeah.

00:34:41.29
gav
oh yeah howard's not great is it yeah

00:34:43.00
Chibbs
I wonder if he always had a B in his bottom about that. Like, he just, he hates being called Howie, but it's like, if you want to be in the Backstreet Boys, mate, you're fucking Howie from now on.

00:34:50.57
Bevo
A talent.

00:34:50.55
Aaron
here

00:34:52.96
Chibbs
Do you understand me? He's like, oh.

00:34:54.66
Aaron
We can't have a Howard.

00:34:56.98
gav
ah

00:34:57.05
Chibbs
No, we've already got a Kevin and a fucking Brian. what Are you kidding me?

00:34:59.73
gav
yeah howard

00:35:00.41
Aaron
Yeah.

00:35:02.36
Chibbs
The bridge goes, I've tried to hide it so that no one knows, but I guess it shows when you look into my eyes what you did and where you're coming from. i don't care.

00:35:15.67
Chibbs
as long as you love me, baby. oh, oh oh

00:35:19.96
gav
but ah That definitely gives credence to your theory that he's hiding evidence for her.

00:35:21.14
Bevo
What's she done? What's she done?

00:35:25.51
Chibbs
it's war crime this is It's war crimes for sure.

00:35:27.34
gav
It's for sure war crimes.

00:35:27.47
Chibbs
This whole thing stinks of war crimes. Yeah.

00:35:29.50
gav
Yeah.

00:35:30.14
Chibbs
What, 97?

00:35:30.42

Chibbs
We're talking about like what, Yugoslavia or something? Like as she is she's escaped.

00:35:33.50
gav
Yeah, I was going to say somewhere roman Romania.

00:35:33.93
Bevo
Backstreet Boys are in love with Goebbels or something like that.

00:35:36.09
Aaron
Somalia.

00:35:39.83
gav
ah Yes. why is Why is your Argentinian grandfather speaking German?

00:35:50.33
gav
um yeah no I don't know but yeah it's it's it's it's definitely fallen down the war crimes funnel he's definitely harboring an international fugitive um

00:36:00.30
Chibbs
It's weird that Max Martin went and sat down with a pen and paper and started to write a song and went, this is basically just about someone who's committed horrific crimes, but the Backstreet Boys don't care.

00:36:11.06
Chibbs
Like, it's just, that's the song.

00:36:11.29
gav
don care don't care not one iota yeah yeah

00:36:13.82
Chibbs
That's the song. Yeah. But that it really is it. Like, there's no way, you can't sugarcoat it.

00:36:19.54
gav
No, it's it's been quite explicit that that's that's exactly what it's about. I wonder and wonder how hot someone would have to be before I would forgive their war crimes.

00:36:23.16
Chibbs
What it's about.

00:36:27.92
Aaron
Thank you.

00:36:29.48
gav
is you know i'm wondering I'm wondering what level... like you know I don't know.

Bevo
but You know that Luigi Mangione that was very handsome i mean and killed that guy?

00:36:37.56
gav
ya yeah, yeah. Yeah.

00:36:40.67
Bevo
Oh, yeah, lots of people.

00:36:41.21
Chibbs
so that's the level that's you found it like that's where it's like you're you can execute people on the street if you're this attractive

00:36:41.91
Bevo
madam

00:36:42.94
gav
That's the... that's that Yeah, if you look like this. To be fair, he is a handsome motherfucker. There is no two ways about it.

00:36:52.57
Chibbs
Okay, so what so give me a comparison, Gavin.

00:36:52.76
gav
He's a

00:36:55.17
Chibbs
Give me a celebrity that you're like, if ah if you ran to my backyard and kicked in my back door on the run from the law, covered in blood, and are like, you need to hide me, and you know we'll get to know each other, and you're go to fall in love.

gav
Okay.

00:37:02.65

Chibbs

00:37:10.94
gav
Yeah.

00:37:13.78
gav
Okay. Okay. where where the line is any anyone okay i'm thinking like i'm thinking the line is probably matthew mcconaughey and yeah sorry ah yeah we we were were you thinking female were you sorry i was just going based on my sexual orientation um

00:37:17.05
Bevo
Who that is, where they're from, what they did.

00:37:17.17
Chibbs
Yeah. Yeah. ah

00:37:27.72
Chibbs
Oh, like that you're going

00:37:29.27
Bevo
yeah I knew you would. everything

00:37:37.91
gav
So, yeah, I mean, if if Jack White runs into my yard yelling that, I'm going to shoot him on the spot myself and and hand his body to the authorities.

00:37:45.17
Chibbs
yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:37:47.40
gav
But, yeah, Matthew McConaughey covered in blood.

00:37:47.82
Bevo
What a meg wipe.

00:37:50.01
gav
Yeah, Meg White, yeah, i she'll get a run. I think that's why I went with male because for female, yeah, any of them, any any any woman runs into my yard saying, I've just murdered a whole shitload of people. I need i need refuge.

00:38:00.39
Bevo
You're like, get inside.

00:38:01.78
gav
Yeah, I have just the spot. It's just just down this very narrow staircase in my house.

00:38:03.61
Chibbs
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:38:07.29
Chibbs
You can come in, but you've got to promise that you'll love me.

00:38:07.51
Bevo
Lauren, put the kettle on.

00:38:07.69
Aaron
Thank you.

00:38:10.73
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:38:11.06
gav
You've got to love me. Yeah, so I feel like i feel like that's the that's the standard. ah Any fun-loving gal or Matthew McConaughey or Hodder, that's where we're at.

00:38:19.70
Chibbs
Or Matthew McConaughey.

00:38:20.88
Bevo
Or Jack White.

00:38:20.97
gav
That's where I'm at.

00:38:21.82
Bevo
Not Jack White.

00:38:22.10
Chibbs
Okay, not Jack White.

00:38:22.54
Bevo
Sorry.

00:38:22.84
gav
oh Jack White. Yeah, I feel like that's the split. That's the split.

00:38:25.94
Chibbs
Okay, that's fair. They've got another chorus here. We're just banging on again about not caring where they're from or what they've done and so on and so on. ah What's the outro? Is the outro the same?

00:38:37.27
gav
but Yeah, I think it's just a double chorus.

00:38:39.58
Bevo
Yeah. It's just reiterating what what was stated before.

00:38:40.50
gav
Yeah.

00:38:42.78
Chibbs
my God. Yeah, okay.

00:38:44.09
Bevo
Hmm.

00:38:44.57
Chibbs
Well, i mean, that's the lyrics, fellas. Lyrics lyrics are done.

00:38:46.46
gav
Yeah, that's it.

00:38:47.80
Chibbs
All right, let's find this out.

00:38:53.37
Chibbs
We have to find what the worst lyric of this song is. What is the worst lyric?

00:38:56.66
gav
Okay.

00:38:58.14
Bevo
I got one. We didn't talk about it too much, but although loneliness has always been a friend of mine, i feel like loneliness would be the one with no friends. Hence the name.

00:39:07.54
Chibbs
Hence the name. It's a stupid lyric.

00:39:08.79
gav
Yeah.

00:39:08.89
Aaron
But that's a classic case where the, i was going to say whoever came up with that, our buddy Max, he's like, just, bo I'm going blow people's mind with this.

00:39:15.28
Chibbs
Maxie.

00:39:22.12
Bevo
Opposites. Yeah.

00:39:22.71
Chibbs
ah yeah d

00:39:23.63
Aaron
That's just like, I'm a genius, you know?

00:39:25.67
Bevo
that's why That's my pick for worst lyrics.

00:39:27.14
gav
That's the opening line though.

00:39:28.44
Bevo
Yeah.

00:39:28.58
gav
That's like, that's coming out of the gates pretty hard. I feel like for me, it's the, um, oh, where was it? The fucking, um, the,

00:39:37.05
Chibbs
I have people say i'm so people say I'm crazy and that I am blind is a pretty shit lyric.

00:39:42.04
gav
Yeah, that's pretty good too.

00:39:44.21
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:39:44.57
Bevo
Fucking hell, Nick.

00:39:44.69
gav
I liked... I

00:39:45.20
Bevo
You're crazy and you're blind.

00:39:46.55
Chibbs
yeah

00:39:47.26
gav
ah i liked every little thing you've said and done. Feels like it's deep within me.

00:39:52.69
Chibbs
Oh! Yeah.

00:39:53.72
gav
with

00:39:55.10
Aaron
I think it's funny that like, like this song is like, probably would have been like a, like a really good as a solo, but to have like five dudes all going like, yeah, we're all, we're all toe-y, we're desperate, we'll take anything.

00:40:03.35
Chibbs
Yeah!

00:40:04.95
gav
Five dudes. Yeah.

00:40:07.21
Bevo
That's a problem with all these songs. All of us at once.

00:40:10.26
gav
ah Yeah.

00:40:12.15
Aaron
Yeah.

00:40:12.95
gav
Yeah. No woman wants to find themselves.

00:40:13.46
Aaron
Please, we're the Backstreet Boys, someone one go out with us, please.

00:40:16.06
gav
ah

00:40:16.09
Bevo
And imagine it imagine if they sang, we don't care who you are.

00:40:17.46
gav
this is a

00:40:20.76
Aaron
We don't.

ah

00:49:22.49
Chibbs
yeah That's it. ICP. um He, with these boy bands, used the boy bands to set himself up as like a sixth member of all these bands and then do contracts where he was getting more of a portion of the money than the other five.

00:49:34.02
Bevo
A

00:49:38.35
gav
Oh my God.

00:49:39.54
Chibbs
as a member, as a member of the band, massive, massive portions of it.

00:49:43.10
Bevo
and non-performing member.

00:49:45.93
Chibbs
And then all the like ah sponsorship contracts were just going directly to this band member, this band member. And it's a loop.

00:49:53.89
Bevo
Imagine like the magazines like Nick, AJ, Howie and Lou.

00:49:54.43
Chibbs
He,

00:49:55.03

gav
halloo

00:50:02.10

Bevo
Yeah. not the photo yeah

00:50:07.96
gav
but

00:50:07.99
Chibbs
But um he basically, as these bands blew up, started his Ponzi scheme from there within the entertainment industry and was getting investors and banks and even his own artists that he was already fucking over to reinvest in his...

00:50:25.88
gav
Oh my God.

00:50:25.88
Chibbs
um schemes and he he swindled out people out over $300 million dollars through fake through through fake companies and forged financial documents and just bogus investments.

Aaron
Thank you.

00:50:33.53

Bevo
your life.

00:51:02.94
gav
um You know, he was...

00:51:05.17
Chibbs
It's wild to think how big the Backstreet Boys and NSYNC and everything were at that time. And we're all just going like, these guys are huge. They are the biggest thing ever. And all the while, there's just this seedy dude who's like...

00:51:14.58
gav
One guy. I mean...

00:51:15.61
Aaron

The Spice Girls had a similar story, yeah.

00:51:22.84
gav
i mean

00:51:23.44
Aaron
Just on that docker, yeah. On that docker, I think, can only vaguely remember a bit, but I think they were like killing it in Germany or something like that.

00:51:35.54
Aaron
And they're just like, is this money going to come to us at some point? Yeah.

00:51:39.86

00:51:42.91
Bevo
Hmm.

00:51:43.19
gav
ah I mean, we were just talking though about when Aaron Carter died. Massive news rocked the boy band world. Imagine when Lou died, you've had a member of the Backstreet Boys die, a member of NSYNC die, a member of all those other...

00:51:56.15
Chibbs
but

00:51:58.69
gav
Oh, not the sixth member of all of my favorite boy bands.

00:52:03.51

00:54:28.92
gav
is it's

00:54:34.07
gav
Yeah, that's very fair.

00:54:34.26
Chibbs
Yeah, of course. Yeah.

00:54:36.09
gav
Yeah. We've spoken recently, or not recently, it was a while ago now, Goxie, but we talked about Kendrick Lamar did a set in l LA, um in Compton, actually, where he played Not Like Us five times in a row.

00:54:48.54
gav
So next time you've got a joke, next time you've a joke that really lands, just just rack rack it up and fire it another four times and just see the crowd would be going nuts.

They'll be going nuts by that fifth punch.

00:55:00.06
Bevo
Did I ever tell you guys about, a friend friend of mine had a band called Munching Limbs and they changed the name to Run On Mum eventually.

00:55:00.77
gav
That's...

00:55:07.87
Bevo
And every gig they did was a like a gimmick. And one gig they did, they had a chocolate wheel with all their song titles on it and they spun the wheel.

00:55:14.82
gav
That's fantastic.

00:55:15.87
Bevo
And they played the same song three times in a row because it came up on the wheel.

00:55:20.56
Chibbs
Fucking hell.

00:55:20.64
Bevo
It's also Gandhi's birthday.

00:55:21.75
Chibbs
That's shit.

00:55:23.09
Bevo
So it was a double theme that night.

00:55:25.72
Chibbs
Oh, that's bit shit.

00:55:26.02
gav
that's fantastic

00:55:27.48
Chibbs
All right, Gavin.

00:55:41.50
gav
That's me.

00:55:44.16
Chibbs
I

00:55:44.39
gav
I was going to say, you're really fucking me up with these doubles.

00:55:46.85
Bevo
No, not for

00:55:47.37
Chibbs
don't see. Some of them have done it. Some haven't. It's weird. Yeah.

00:55:50.21
gav
All right, video summary. It appears the women are in charge, but by the end of the film clip, the boys are literally controlling them.

00:55:58.49
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:55:59.50
gav
Have you watched the film clip, Bev?

00:55:59.70
Chibbs
yeah

00:56:00.34
Bevo
it no not for a long time.

00:56:01.85
gav
So it starts off basically, it's like the Backstreet Boys are at some sort of audition and they're auditioning for a panel of women. And then at some point, they seem to force the women out of their chairs.

00:56:11.93
gav
They take their place and then they control the women with a literal remote control.

00:56:16.12
Bevo
Oh, not in 2026.

00:56:16.60
Chibbs
That does happen.

00:56:17.25
gav
it' It's a bit weird.

00:56:17.26
Chibbs
Yeah. Also, Goxie's right. for

00:56:20.11
Bevo
It's

00:56:20.41
Chibbs
ah don't know I don't know. don't know why.

00:56:21.82
gav
yeah

00:56:22.05
Chibbs

00:56:32.05
gav
Oh, good point. Yeah. Yeah. And they're huge.

00:56:36.73
Bevo
the very early days.

00:56:37.51

gav
Pull Yeah. Pull the antenna out.

00:56:45.69

Bevo
Yeah.

00:56:50.05
Chibbs
Like all right now.

00:56:51.64

00:57:32.08
gav
Tom DeLonge's got like a... Yeah.

Chibbs
I got a couple of YouTube comments, which I thought was funny. This is from Cairns High 808 from two days ago, and it just says, holy fucking shit, I am 35 years old and just realized that the female cast in this video is the Spice Girls.

00:57:56.79
gav
That is not true.

00:57:57.79
Chibbs
Definitely not.

00:57:57.90

Aaron
I

00:58:30.36
gav
Oh my god.

00:58:31.87
Aaron
don't think we even thought of, like, we were so hung up on the crime stuff. We didn't think of it like they'll try and say, i don't care what race you are.

00:58:35.94
gav
It matters if you're black and white.

00:58:40.19
Aaron
Yeah.

00:58:41.30
Chibbs
It's ah the modern day Michael Jackson's black or white. Like he was way he was way more black or white about it.

Aaron
Yeah.

Chibbs
Yeah. Yeah.

00:58:54.96
Bevo

00:58:55.19
gav
it it matters if you're black and white

00:58:57.59
Chibbs
Yeah. yeah

00:58:59.25
Bevo
here.

00:58:59.32
Aaron

Bevo
Yeah, I love this, Ed Berg, yeah.

00:59:02.52
Chibbs
yeah

00:59:02.77
gav
Oh, fuck it. Yeah, huge, huge fan of Mitch.

00:59:04.12
Aaron
me Yeah, well, he had a bit, which is like about saying, I heard someone, I'm paraphrasing you a bit. I should know the words if I'm a, say I'm the biggest fan.

00:59:15.67
Aaron
But he basically said like, when it comes to race, people will be like I don't care if you're black, white, green or purple. He's like, green or purple? Hang on. That's...

00:59:23.38
gav
and Yeah. To hell with the purple people.

00:59:25.02
Bevo
One of my favorite my favorite ah Mitch jokes like that, it's the he goes, traffic lights are like the opposite of a banana.

00:59:26.50
gav
Yeah, that's...

00:59:27.00
Aaron
I think that's an alien you're talking about.

00:59:27.30
gav
a

00:59:29.17
Aaron
Yeah,

00:59:31.99
Bevo
He's like, green means, hold on.

00:59:32.59
Aaron
yeah.

00:59:33.78
Bevo
Yellow means, go go slow.

00:59:34.58
Aaron
Yeah.

00:59:36.26
Bevo
Red means, where the hell did you get that banana at?

00:59:39.86
gav
but ah

00:59:39.83
Aaron
Yeah, yeah.

00:59:43.29
gav
You do a pretty good Mitch Hedberg, Devo. You actually do the voice pretty well.

00:59:45.51
Bevo
listened to a lot of Mitch Headback. I walked into Target, I missed.

00:59:49.07
Aaron
it is that thing of, like, people... It's kind of like Backstreet Boys where they think they're being nice, but it's actually when people like, I don't see color. It's like, well, that's not what, yeah.

01:00:01.88
gav
you Maybe you should. Maybe you should.

01:00:03.74
Aaron
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:00:04.63
gav
and Maybe you should be ignoring the Ugandan war criminals.

01:00:05.18
Aaron
That's not as, islam no yeah, that's not as noble as you think it is.

01:00:12.14
Bevo
Yeah.

01:00:14.20
gav
Oh, nice. um

01:00:15.48
Chibbs
ah Okay.

01:00:16.21
gav
Yeah.

01:00:16.24
Chibbs
Well, we we need to figure out we need to figure out who's going to win this goddamn fight.

01:00:16.90
gav
That's the video.

01:00:20.76
Chibbs
That's what we're going to do.

01:00:21.31
gav
Oh, I still...

01:00:23.54
Chibbs
if

01:00:28.22
Chibbs
Oh, shit. All right.

01:00:30.19
gav
The production value on this episode is fucking...

01:00:31.63
Chibbs
You're getting double. getting double.

01:00:34.27
gav
So, Goxie, let me quickly ask, how's your cardio?

01:00:34.39
Chibbs
this

01:00:37.95
gav
Are you gassing out early in a fight or do you reckon you go on the full 12th?

01:00:44.37
Aaron
Nah, I don't think I'll go in full 12, especially not with the Batchelor boy.

01:00:49.69
gav
ah

01:00:50.54
Chibbs
Four or five Backstreet Boys.

01:00:50.68
Bevo
And Lou.

01:00:51.63
gav
So you've got to go all five.

01:00:52.60
Bevo
And Lou.

01:00:52.97
gav
all right ah

01:00:53.49
Bevo
Yeah. Yeah.

01:00:54.42
gav
i reckon you're i reckon I reckon you're closer...

01:00:56.02
Aaron
feel like if I don't get them quickly, they'll work me over, yeah.

01:00:59.86
gav
Yeah, okay. So that's ah maybe that's the limiting factor here is that they've got, if they do it one after the other by the time, yeah you know I reckon first guy, probably KO on site. Second guy, maybe a bit of a scrap, but you're you're dropping him.

01:01:11.61
gav
Third guy, there's a lot of grappling. He's kind of wearing you down a bit.

01:01:14.07
Bevo
yeah

01:01:14.17
gav
Fourth guy, it's like you're in the trenches. are that's That's the only way I reckon that you could lose in this one is if they just really roll into a

01:01:19.58
Bevo
See, I'm imagining all five of them trying to get in all at once and Goxie just starts doing the clothesline round round like Zangief from Street Fighter.

01:01:20.18
Aaron
Yeah.

01:01:24.44
gav
the haymakers.

01:01:24.90
Chibbs
Nah, yeah, yeah.

01:01:25.30
gav
Yeah, yeah.

01:01:26.94
Aaron
You know what sucks? Like, if they do bash you, like, that's not even a good yarn. Like, got bashed by the Backstreet Boys.

01:01:32.38
Chibbs
na yeah yeah

01:01:32.45
Aaron
It's like...

01:01:34.16
gav
i'd tell I'd tell a lot of people that if it was me, actually. Oh.

01:01:38.68
Chibbs
Then I'm going believe you. are hey e This is what happens.

01:01:40.76
gav
yeah

01:01:41.32
Chibbs
It just says straight up here, this gets ugly early. It says, Goxie has the only actual combat sport edge here.

01:01:53.50
Chibbs
ah he He'd have surprising hand speed, a decent jab, and a sort of unorthodox Brisbane pub fight durability that means he could absolutely starch one of them in the opening 20 seconds.

01:02:04.70
Chibbs
Good start, Goxie.

01:02:04.92
gav
Yes. Fuck yeah.

01:02:07.22
Chibbs
But then you've got five growing men.

01:02:08.41
gav
oh

01:02:11.33
Chibbs
AJ McLean probably goes down first, but they just throw AJ.

01:02:11.42
Aaron
Yeah.

01:02:15.17
Chibbs
They're just like, you you' you're absolutely starchy in AJ.

01:02:17.20
gav
The cannon fodder.

01:02:18.53
Chibbs
Yeah, yeah. Because he's the bad boy of the Backstreet Boys, and apparently he'd overcommit trying to look tough. So Goxie starts as him. Howie, he circles to survive. He's sneaky, apparently. Nick Carter, chaotic, younger.

01:02:33.78
Chibbs
um he he might get He might land a weird shot. Brian seems like he'd panic wrestle. And Kevin is the problem. He is a big dude with dad strength and looks like he'd put Goxie in a headlock.

01:02:46.14
gav
yeah

01:02:46.45
Aaron
Yeah.

01:02:49.53
gav
I didn't think about Big Kev.

01:02:49.56
Chibbs
Says here... Goxie probably sparks AJ and maybe clips Nick, but once Kevin grabs him and the others swarm, it's curtains. Boxing helps in a 1v1, but when you're 5v1, you eventually get smothered under a pile of frosted tips and harmonies.

01:03:06.94
gav
ah

01:03:07.64
Chibbs
It says the winner is the Backstreet Boys, just via numbers in round two, but it does say Goxie gets a moral victory and probably still has still somehow gets the funniest post-fight interview.

01:03:08.02
gav
ah

01:03:10.20
Bevo
Sorry, mate.

01:03:19.77
gav
Yeah, okay. That tracks.

01:03:20.22
Chibbs
And it's pulled it's pulled sources here from cricketnews.com.

01:03:24.57
gav
ah All right.

01:03:25.02
Chibbs
but

01:03:25.72
Bevo
and not

01:03:29.33
Bevo
Nice. Yeah, well.

01:03:29.91
Chibbs
I mean, there's no shame in that, there's no shame in that Doxy.

01:03:30.04
gav
Good to know.

01:03:30.65
Bevo
Well thought.

01:03:30.87
gav
How do you feel about that, Goxie? You think that's a fair assessment of how it would go down?

01:03:36.66
Aaron
I think so. But um you know what? Bring him on. If you're listening actually vote, I'll take you.

01:03:40.44
gav
Yeah. You named the to time and the fucking place.

01:03:45.72
Aaron
Yeah.

01:03:45.76
Chibbs
I love it. Love it. All right, fellas, it's time to rate this shit.

01:04:00.22
Chibbs
Okay, now, what are we rated out of? Like, the...

01:04:03.83
gav
Oh God. Yeah. um

01:04:04.95
Chibbs
the the yes Yeah, yeah, based on whatever the crime is.

01:04:07.40
Aaron
The worse, the better.

01:04:08.89
gav
How many, how many years she's going to go away for um if if, if, if the law catches her.

01:04:14.33
Bevo
What kind of crime matches the earth to love?

01:04:14.60
gav
Yeah.

01:04:14.68
Chibbs
Yeah, yeah.

01:04:15.80
gav
Yeah. What kind of, yeah. Yeah.

01:04:18.14
Chibbs
So with this, Goxie, 10 means you would rather die than ever hear this song ever again. And a 1 is that it will be in your Spotify wrapped.

01:04:26.24
gav
You hate it. You fucking hate it. One's basically love it.

01:04:30.94
Chibbs
Yeah.

01:04:31.16
gav
Yeah.

01:04:32.12
Chibbs
um

01:04:32.28
Aaron
Um,

01:04:32.76
Chibbs
So it's like a golf score. So out of 10, what would you it?

01:04:34.76
gav
It's a reverse scale.

01:04:36.68
Aaron
yeah. Yeah.

01:04:37.94
Chibbs
what what would you give it

01:04:41.56
Aaron
I'd go four. think,

01:04:43.93
Chibbs
Crazy Frog 4.

01:04:44.35
gav
Oh, ring a ding ding.

01:04:44.89
Chibbs
A Crazy Frog 4. Ring-a-ding-ding, bam-bam.

01:04:47.00
gav
Nice.

01:04:47.99
Aaron
thing like, as far as pop goes, you know, or like, at least they're trying to mix it up. They're trying to be, you know, yeah, it's yeah.

01:04:54.36
Chibbs
Yeah, hey, there's not a lot of pop songs about war crimes. I agree, 100%.

01:04:57.21
gav
Yeah.

01:04:57.46
Chibbs
Yeah.

01:04:57.85
gav
Yeah.

01:04:58.71
Chibbs
yeah

01:04:59.51
gav
Yeah.

01:04:59.64
Chibbs
ah Bevo, what do you give it?

01:05:01.59
Bevo
Yeah, I gave this a couple of listens and like the first few bars, I'm like, this is a fucking cracking melody. But by the end, I'm a bit like bored of it.

01:05:08.22
Chibbs
Yeah. Yeah.

01:05:10.81
Aaron
yeah

01:05:11.03
Bevo
But I still, yeah, three and a half, I think.

01:05:13.34
Chibbs
Oh, okay. All right.

01:05:14.55
Bevo
It's still pretty good.

01:05:14.74
Chibbs
That's all right. Gavin.

01:05:17.14
gav
um Going into this, I think I thought I was much closer to a um Crazy Frog 4, but after finding out that the lyrics are just that that fucking heinous, man, it's it's it's absolutely won me over.

01:05:29.30
gav
I already liked the song. I think i think a two is appropriate for me to tonight.

01:05:33.55
Chibbs
Oh, fuck. All right.

01:05:34.20
Bevo
Love it.

01:05:34.78
gav
Yeah, it's up there.

01:05:35.46
Chibbs
This is not bad.

01:05:35.66
gav
It's a good fucking, it's a straight up good song.

01:05:38.04
Chibbs
okay um

01:05:39.07
gav
Yeah.

01:05:39.80
Chibbs
All right. Well, yeah, I didn't know how I was going to feel about it either. I was like, um I know this song. I know it. But, yeah, by the end of it, I'm like, eh, there's some really banging Backstreet Boys songs.

01:05:46.43
gav
Yeah.

01:05:50.82
Chibbs
I don't know if this is up there.

01:05:51.40

Chibbs
That's a five. I give it a five. I'm dead in the middle. That makes me a weak gutted dog.

01:06:12.16
gav
Straight down the middle. ah ah So we had a five, a four, a three and a half and a two.

01:06:14.42
Chibbs
Yeah.

01:06:17.53
Chibbs
Two.

Chibbs
Wild.

01:06:18.55
gav
if If you weren't all about your fractions, Bevo, that would have been nice and consecutive. there that That would have been nice.

01:06:22.20
Bevo
Well, I've got to add some fractions because otherwise the scores are like very consistent over the 400 we've done.

01:06:29.08
Chibbs
There you go. There you bloody go.

01:06:30.14
gav
