Garth Brooks: Friends in Low Places, Enemies in High Places

This week, we take on Garth Brooks’ country mega-hit “Friends in Low Places”, a song that somehow became one of the most famous country anthems of all time despite sounding like a rodeo clown crashing your ex’s wedding and immediately regretting it.

We break down the very confusing story at the centre of the song, Garth’s strange refusal to live on normal streaming platforms, the GhostTunes/Amazon saga, Chris Gaines, the Tom Segura “where are the bodies?” conspiracy, and whether Bevo could survive a fight with 1990s Garth Brooks.

Spoiler: he could not.

Chibbs
Okay, lyrics.

00:05:16.18
gav

Chibbs
Here we go.

00:05:17.38
gav
Do you do you remember your special move?

00:05:19.83
Bevo
ah Yeah, it's the classic, like, someone ducks down behind them and I push them, so they fall over.

00:05:23.80
gav
Push him over. Nice, nice.

00:05:25.25
Chibbs

Great.

00:05:26.31
Bevo
Classic, yeah.

Chibbs
Very good.

00:05:29.57
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:05:30.30

Chibbs
Verse one.

Chibbs
Blame it... Blame it all on my roots.

No.

00:05:38.42
Chibbs
I showed up in boots and ruined your black tie affair. The last one to know, the last one to show, i was the last one you thought you'd see there.

00:05:51.00
Chibbs
And I saw the surprise and the fear in your eyes when I took it ah in his eyes when I took his glass of champagne and I toasted you said, honey, we may be through, but you'll never hear me complain.

00:05:55.22
Bevo
In his eyes.

00:06:10.36
Bevo
So, okay.

00:06:10.46
gav
Okay.

00:06:11.16
Bevo

00:06:15.13
gav
um I think he's just, i don't think it's their wedding.

00:06:15.19
Chibbs
Seems to be.

00:06:17.57
gav
I feel like it's a black tie, like just just a party.

00:06:19.03
Chibbs
Could be an engagement party.

00:06:21.36
gav
I reckon it's just a nice, a fancy party.

00:06:21.92
Bevo
black tie affair. Well, it's black tie. Like that's a wedding. Yeah.

00:06:25.92
gav
Although it would be funny if it was a wedding. Hey, that is pretty good.

00:06:29.88
Chibbs
Okay, so she but ah ah where he's implying that she, the female in this, was at some point in a relationship with Garth Brooks and almost to the point that he thought, I best go break up with her because she still thinks she's in a relationship with me, Garth Brooks.

00:06:48.64
Chibbs
So I'll go there and I'll say, we're through. I'm just letting you know. I'm not going to complain about it, but we're done here because you're in ga you're married to that guy.

Chibbs
Yeah, it's too much.

00:11:32.46
Bevo
it's It's so funny for us. we never, we never do this on the podcast.

00:11:34.37
gav
It's over the top.

00:11:35.74
Bevo
Like talk about the song itself, you know, like,

00:11:39.67
gav
but

00:11:41.85
Chibbs
I was just so surprised. i honestly really i really thought that when I put it on, I'd be like, oh, yeah, this one.

00:11:47.86
Bevo
Totally.

00:11:47.93
Chibbs
Yeah, I know this.

00:11:47.99
gav
Yeah.

00:11:48.18
Bevo
hi Yeah. Yeah.

00:11:49.11
gav
Yeah.

00:11:49.38
Chibbs
It was like, oh, no.

00:11:52.47
Bevo
This is the strength.

00:11:53.91
gav
This yes can't be.

00:11:57.56
Chibbs
No.

00:11:58.56
gav
Oh, loose, loose.

00:11:59.03
Bevo
And Garth has not been on our radar because he's not on Spotify.

00:11:59.35
Chibbs
Anyway.

00:12:02.51
Chibbs
Nice. He flies under the radar. Big time.

00:12:05.01
gav
Oh, sneaky, sneaky Garth.

00:12:05.10
Bevo
Yeah. We'll talk about, we'll get, let's get back to that.

00:12:06.83
Chibbs
We'll get there.

00:12:07.14
Bevo
Let's go back to

00:12:07.31
Chibbs
Anyway, Friends in Those Places, it was written in 1989 by Earl Budley and Dwayne Blackwell.

00:12:15.26
gav
Honestly, Earl Budley sounds like a fake made up country.

00:12:15.54
Chibbs
um

00:12:18.02
gav
That's like, what's the most country name, Earl Budley?

00:12:18.22
Chibbs
It does, doesn't it? to And not Wayne, not Dwayne, Dwayne.

00:12:21.46
gav
ah

00:12:25.25
gav
D-Wayne.

00:12:25.98
Bevo
You know what else is like hearing this song is like digging up the fucking missing link between monkeys and humans like the modern, modern country.

00:12:26.26
Chibbs
Dwayne.

00:12:34.17
Chibbs
yeah

00:12:34.30
gav
yeah. ah nothing

00:12:34.90
Chibbs
yeah

00:12:36.09
Bevo
Like you're like, oh this is like, like 1989. And this sounds like what everyone's trying to do now.

00:12:41.75
Chibbs
trying to do.

00:12:42.01
gav
yeah

00:12:42.35
Chibbs
Yeah. But they, well, yeah, what was interesting again, because we just, we don't really know a lot about the country music in industry.

00:12:44.46
Bevo
The primitive.

00:12:52.12
Chibbs
you i don't know if it still works this way, but you would just have these songwriters like these guys, and then they would get any Joe Blow to come and sing their, their demo songs for them.

00:13:03.61
Chibbs
And then they would shop it around. So friends in low places came out on three different people's albums the same year.

00:13:09.82
gav
Oh, no way. No way.

00:13:11.10
Bevo
Wow.

00:13:11.16
Chibbs
Yeah. Yeah, the same year. um It first came out on David Wayne Chamberlain's 1989 album and then two in 1990. Mark Chestnut recorded the song for his album Too Cold at Home and that came out the same year as Garth.

00:13:20.18
gav
Fuck.

00:13:24.82
Bevo
Could have been messed up.

00:13:26.64
Chibbs
So this song came out three times in two years.

00:13:29.08
gav
In two years. That is fucking insane.

00:13:29.88
Bevo
Yeah.

00:13:31.20
gav
Do they still do?

00:13:31.38
Bevo
Interesting.

00:13:32.12
gav
Surely that's not a thing anymore, right? Is that a thing still?

00:13:33.91
Chibbs
I don't know if it is a thing in country music, but the the way that that Garth got this song is because he was working in a um a a shitno a shoe shop.

00:13:45.62
gav
Shit music factory.

00:13:47.66
Chibbs
He was selling shoes.

00:13:49.27
Bevo
ah yep.

00:13:49.30
gav
Amazing.

00:13:49.94
Chibbs
um in in Nashville.

00:13:51.02
Bevo
Moats. Moats.

00:13:53.18
Chibbs
And basically, like, he just came, like, he he knew these people from being around the tavern, these songwriters, and they were like, oh, Garth, we've written these new songs.

00:13:53.40
gav
Yeah.

00:14:04.76
Chibbs
Can you come in and record them so then we can shop them? Like, so they had to have someone sing them so they could go around and shop them.

00:14:11.19
gav
Yeah.

00:14:12.19
Chibbs
So he sung a demo version of it that they shot to the other two people that released it.

00:14:17.14
gav
Wow. Yeah.

00:14:18.10
Chibbs
Yeah. um

00:14:19.93
gav
So he kind of had a bit of a claim to it prior to them in a weird way. Like it makes, it makes more sense to me that him being, him being third in line and still releasing it makes a little more sense knowing that he demoed it originally.

00:14:23.84
Chibbs
Well, it's a whole story, yeah.

00:14:31.83
gav
You know what i mean?

00:14:31.95
Bevo
Well, can I tell you something interesting?

00:14:32.35
gav
Like.

00:14:32.45
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:14:33.06
Bevo
I just looked at the set ah set list of his just to see what was going on. And Friends in Low Places is classed as a Dwayne Blackwell cover.

00:14:43.48
Chibbs
Right, okay.

00:14:43.53
gav
there you go.

00:14:44.39
Chibbs
Okay.

00:14:44.51
gav
Yeah.

00:14:44.60
Bevo
So I guess in a way it's not like he's not claiming it as his...

00:14:47.99
Chibbs
so No, he's not claiming It's just the song you know if when you think.

00:14:48.60
gav
yeah that's

00:14:51.43
Chibbs
Like, that's the only Garth Brooks song i I knew was a thing.

00:14:51.54
Bevo
Yeah, it's like his signature niches song, really.

00:14:54.27
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:14:54.49
Bevo
I suppose in the same way that, like, um fucking Smooth Criminal is Alien Ant Farm's signature song.

00:15:00.38
Chibbs
yeah that's Yeah, exactly.

00:15:01.08
gav
a

00:15:02.02
Chibbs
That's right. um Okay, the course chorus. Chorus goes, "'Cause I've got friends in low places where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases.

00:15:12.74
Chibbs
My blue's away and I'll be okay. Yeah, I'm not big on social graces. Think I'll slip on down to the oasis. Oh, I've got friends in low places.'"

00:15:25.88
gav
did anyone else just feel like he was about to say, yeah, I'm not big on social media? It's like Garth Brooks, 1990.

00:15:32.98
Bevo
and that In 1989. What is that?

00:15:34.99
gav
It's like three Instagram followers.

00:15:35.51
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:15:36.87
gav
He's like, well, it's more than the rest yours.

00:15:42.39
gav
man. What's he...

00:15:42.97
Bevo
just him and Zuck.

00:15:44.18
gav
yeah

00:15:45.24
Chibbs
yeah

00:15:47.54
Bevo
um

00:15:47.61
gav
oh ben um

00:15:49.75
Bevo
Is he friends with garden gnomes?

00:15:49.74
gav
what's he

00:15:51.77
Bevo
Yeah.

00:15:51.83
gav
yeah um I was trying to say, what's he trying to say here? Is he trying to say he's got sketchy mates?

00:15:56.44
Chibbs
It just seems to me like, yeah, I've got shitmates and I get fuck-eyed if when I'm sad.

00:16:01.82
Bevo
yeah

00:16:01.91
gav
Yeah.

00:16:02.01
Chibbs
But that's it. And I don't care if I shit myself here at the bar. Social graces are not my thing. I'll slip down to the Oasis, which I imagine is like the petrol station or something down the road.

00:16:11.05
gav
A shit bar. Yeah, okay.

00:16:12.85
Chibbs
Like, yeah.

00:16:12.94
gav
Yeah, yeah.

00:16:13.97
Chibbs
And he picks up some, you know, towelettes to wipe the shit from his legs.

00:16:18.82
Bevo
What's that? You know, that wipe on sex appeal that you can get from the toilet.

00:16:22.37
gav
oh

00:16:23.32
Chibbs
Toilet Oasis.

00:16:25.08
gav
oh my god i feel like you see that less and less you know what i mean like i i kind of met like i remember being 18 every fucking pub bathroom you went into had the the little vending machine with packs of johnny's breath mints and and and sex appeal that you'd rub under your neck it was such a

00:16:25.67
Chibbs
Oasis for men.

00:16:30.23
Bevo
Yeah. People caught on that. It's just a wet wipe.

00:16:39.39
Chibbs
Who was stocking that? Like whose business was it?

00:16:44.57
Bevo
See, the thing about that is there's there's literally no way of going back in time and knowing it wouldn't have worked if you didn't use it.

00:16:50.58
Chibbs
yeah yeah

00:16:51.48
gav
ah but Oh my God.

00:16:53.01
Bevo
that's the that's the That's the trick, hey? There's no control.

00:16:56.44
Chibbs
No, that's right.

00:16:56.75
gav
Oh.

00:16:57.28
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:16:57.71
Bevo
You'd never know.

00:16:58.57
Chibbs
Snake oil. Yeah.

00:17:01.09
Bevo
It's like the fucking the rock that keeps tigers away. It's like, how do you know it works? Well, don't see any tigers here.

00:17:06.02
Chibbs
Don't see any tigers. ah Yeah, so Earl Bud Lee apparently said the the way the song came together is that he was just sitting at the bar.

00:17:07.83
gav
There you go.

00:17:11.10
gav
It's Daggali.

00:17:17.41
Chibbs
They're always at a bar. um

00:17:19.26
gav
Standard.

00:17:20.31
Chibbs
And he's there with mates and they'd got dinner and then Lee had realised that he had no wallet on him. So, like, everyone's like, oh, fuck. well, how are you going to pay? And apparently he just dropped the line. Don't worry. I've got friends in low places. I know the cook.

00:17:41.88
Chibbs
And that sort of stuck in their mind and they ended up like months later going, oh, just that that thing you said stuck in my head.

00:17:47.51
gav
for that that thing yeah that's annoyingly enough the absolute by far the best fucking thing about this song is the title that's a good title like it's um it's a good it's a good fucking name for a song it's just a bad song

00:17:49.69
Chibbs
we got that. But yeah, it's just like.

00:17:56.95
Chibbs
yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not bad at all. But yeah, 100%. um Getting more into the Garth Brooks not being on any of the streaming platforms, I do remember this ah being a thing that in 2014, he started his own digital music platform called Ghost Tunes.

00:18:03.38
Bevo
Let's press on.

00:18:08.14
Bevo
Oh, yes. Yeah.

00:18:17.51
Bevo
Oh, I don't remember this.

00:18:18.36
Chibbs
Yeah. um I remember this. I remember this being a whole thing because ah iTunes was taken off and Garth Brooks basically was like, Garth me, Garth Brooks, I am just as big as Apple.

00:18:31.22
Chibbs
I have people, I'm just as important as what Apple are doing. If Apple can do it, Garth Brooks fans will 100% get this. And it was an alternative to ah iTunes and other streaming services that gave artists control over their pricing and royalties.

00:18:46.49
Chibbs
um And for years he kept it going, but eventually um Amazon bought it out in 2017 and all Garth stuff is now on Amazon, exclusive to Amazon Music.

00:18:55.90
gav
Wow.

00:19:01.37
Bevo
Wow.

00:19:01.46
Chibbs
So Amazon just came along and went, we'll buy Ghost Tunes, Garth, and then we'll have your music. Thank you.

00:19:08.70
Bevo
And he's still one of the biggest one of the biggest artists of all time and not on Spotify.

00:19:08.73
gav
And he said, yes Jeff.

00:19:09.05
Chibbs
That was it.

00:19:14.66
Bevo
That's mind one.

00:19:15.03
gav
Well, I'll tell you what though.

00:19:15.53
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:19:16.79
gav
he he was in that absolute fucking prime for physical sales. Like he would have been selling, he would have been selling records, tapes, and CDs all through the fucking nineties and early noughts.

00:19:21.62
Bevo
True, yeah.

00:19:21.88
Chibbs
Yeah, Yeah.

00:19:25.91
Chibbs
yeah

00:19:27.39
gav
He would have been absolutely stacking numbers on that shit.

00:19:27.84
Bevo
True, yeah. Yeah.

00:19:30.97
Chibbs
But to this day, like if you see a Garth Brooks tour, it turns out, this he plays college football stadiums. That's the bare minimum what he plays.

00:19:40.34
gav
Wow. Fuck.

00:19:41.91
Chibbs
So not like, not arenas, not not like it's 10 times the size of arenas. Like, yeah.

00:19:50.81
gav
Yeah. He's rocking like 25,000 seat stadiums and shit.

00:19:53.30
Chibbs
No, no, like 90,000 stadiums, to

00:19:53.50
Bevo
least Okay, I'm looking at his...

00:19:56.18
gav
Really? Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. a Are you telling me college football stadiums are more like the size of the fucking G? Like what the fuck?

00:20:04.34
Chibbs
Yeah, 60, 70,000 for sure.

00:20:06.33
gav
I mean, that's more like the SCG fair, not not Melbourne, but still.

00:20:08.51
Bevo
Looking at his set list right now, it looks like he's got a residency at the the Caesars Palace in Las Vegas in 2025 because he's got heaps of dates, like eight dates or something.

00:20:08.60
Chibbs
yeah

00:20:13.69
gav
At the Oasis. oh Oh shit.

00:20:16.63
Chibbs
but

00:20:17.01
gav
Yeah.

00:20:19.86
Chibbs
Okay, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I don't think he was doing big tours. He did one a few years ago and I know he was playing all the big college football stadiums and stuff.

00:20:29.69
gav
Can I just say, I know, i know.

00:20:29.76
Bevo
Bye.

00:20:29.98
Chibbs
I mostly keep up with Garth Brooks based on Tom Segura's podcast, Your Mum's House, in which he has a running feud with Garth Brooks.

00:20:29.98
Bevo
Bye.

00:20:35.26
gav
Okay, nice.

00:20:41.95
Chibbs
And Garth Brooks 100% knows about it and he knows that he knows about it, but...

00:20:42.29
gav
That's so funny.

00:20:48.31
gav
yeah

00:20:49.53
Chibbs
He doesn't want to mention, he doesn't, he doesn't respond.

00:20:50.74
gav
He doesn't respond. He doesn't doesn't get involved.

00:20:53.24
Chibbs
Doesn't respond. No.

00:20:53.91
Bevo
Do you know what?

00:20:54.10
gav
That's great.

00:20:54.27
Bevo
I think it looks like Garth Brooks has had the residency in Caesar's Palace since May 2023.

00:21:02.60
Chibbs
Wow.

00:21:03.26
gav
Okay, so that's what I was about to say. I feel like as an as an artist, and this might be a fucking cold take or whatever, but... I reckon having a residency would be the fucking best.

00:21:14.06
gav
Like being able to play consistent shows with that audience and not even leave your, like you'd admit youbi he'd be living there. He'd be living in Vegas, playing those shows.

00:21:23.48
Bevo
Yeah.

00:21:23.54
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:21:24.42
gav
It's like touring, but everyone just comes to you.

00:21:24.57
Bevo
Turn it up. Yeah.

00:21:27.08
gav
It's like, that is fucking it.

00:21:27.90
Chibbs
Yeah, they come to you and you get paid the same amount, if not more.

00:21:28.44
Bevo
and

00:21:29.21
gav
That is it.

00:21:30.39
Bevo
Yeah.

00:21:30.36
gav
Yeah. Oh yeah. Fucking probably heaps more.

00:21:32.02
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:21:32.75
gav
Cause he's been on tour consistently since 2020 fucking three.

00:21:33.25
Bevo
Now that the grind have been on planes and I stopped in March, 2025.

00:21:36.93
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:21:39.89
Bevo
He's moved on since then, but yeah.

00:21:40.85
gav
Okay, fair enough.

00:21:41.33
Chibbs
Yeah. Still, it's a good run.

00:21:42.42
gav
But still, knocking out two years in the one venue, just, fuck.

00:21:43.13
Bevo
Yeah.

00:21:46.03
Chibbs
Mate, human nature did have done it for 20 years. Yeah.

00:21:48.71
Bevo
Yeah.

00:21:49.32
gav
Britney Spears had a massive Vegas residency.

00:21:49.85
Bevo
I saw Human Nature in Vegas, actually.

00:21:51.74
gav
Did you?

00:21:52.24
Chibbs
Even nature?

00:21:52.22
gav
No fucking way.

00:21:52.47
Bevo
Yeah, I did.

00:21:52.79
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:21:53.62
Bevo
Yeah.

00:21:54.61
Chibbs
Yeah, wild.

00:21:54.70
gav
That's so funny. Yeah.

00:21:55.91
Bevo
Motown show.

00:21:56.82
Chibbs
Verse 2.

00:21:56.92
gav
Great way to live it.

00:21:58.87
Chibbs
Well, I guess I was wrong. I just don't belong. But then I've been there before. Everything's all right. I'll just say goodnight and I'll show myself the door.

00:22:11.10
Chibbs
Hey, I didn't mean to cause a big scene. Just give me an hour and then, well, I'll be as high as that ivory tower that you're living in.

00:22:22.07
Chibbs
So he's now embarrassed and apologising for crashing the wedding.

00:22:22.11
Bevo
That's so funny. Now he's ranting drunk.

00:22:25.85
gav
and Jesus Christ.

00:22:26.50
Bevo
Well, I guess I was wrong. Yeah.

00:22:28.33
gav
I'll see myself out. I'm not trying to call a thing.

00:22:31.83
Bevo
I'll show myself the door.

00:22:34.07
Chibbs
I like that he's also said, just give me an hour.

00:22:34.17
Bevo
ah

00:22:34.58
gav
be right out of your

00:22:36.73
Chibbs
You know how long an hour is for someone that's crashed your wedding? An hour is the longest I've ever been to be like, really, to stay here and drink for another hour before you leave? I'll see myself out in one hour.

00:22:45.39
gav
hair.

00:22:47.29
Bevo
No, no, he's saying he's saying he'll go home and then an hour from then he'll be fucking blasted.

00:22:47.32
gav
right out of your hair

00:22:52.17
Bevo
It's like sad drunk now, isn't it?

00:22:52.57
gav
ah Yeah, actually, I think you're right.

00:22:55.58
Chibbs
ah yeah.

00:22:56.23
gav
He's about to leave now, but it's going to take him a full hour to get loaded.

00:22:58.44
Chibbs
I'm leaving, but I've got to walk home now.

00:23:01.18
gav
And all the bottle loads are closed.

00:23:01.69
Chibbs
ah yeah Yeah. of

00:23:07.61
gav
Yeah. I don't know. This is a weird, this is the exact opposite vibe to the first verse. He's done a full one 80. He really came in.

00:23:13.97
Chibbs
It's so quick, isn't it?

00:23:14.77
Bevo
its not sad drunk now isn't

00:23:15.61
gav
He's snatching the fucking glass off the groom. He's giving him the stink. I was like, yeah, here's to you, sweetheart. And then he's just like, Oh, I'm really, I didn't, I didn't mean to cause a scene guys. I'll just, I'll just get out of your hair.

00:23:24.31
Bevo
No, um I reckon it's... I'm interpreting it as more like...

00:23:25.96
gav
I've left my gift on the table. It's, it's, it's a voucher for the lagoon. I hope you guys are doing well. Yeah. yeah yeah this

00:23:35.93

gav
It's a long walk home. I do fucking... I'd rather not wait an hour to get fucking high as that ivory tower. Yeah.

00:24:00.03
Chibbs
The regret really kicked in so fast from that he was so confident storming in in that first verse to straight up being, well, I guess I was wrong.

00:24:06.04
gav
Yeah.

00:24:09.69
gav
Yeah.

Chibbs

And then when they broke up, he got the tattoo altered, so it says Wino forever.

Oh God.

00:26:54.63
Chibbs
Also claimed that Brooks raped her during a trip to ah a Grammy tribute thing.

00:26:54.64
Bevo
Yikes.

00:27:02.53
Chibbs
And Brooks flat out, Denied it and said it was a goddamn shakedown and an extortion attempt.

00:27:11.13
Bevo
That's funny. Shakedown.

00:27:12.50
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:27:12.63
gav
Wow.

00:27:12.78
Chibbs
Which, to be fair, ah maybe it was.

00:27:13.27
gav
Right. sorry

00:27:16.55
Chibbs
There's no criminal charges or anything. It was a civil suit. So it seems like shakedown.

00:27:23.44
Bevo
Well, who are we to judge?

00:27:23.55
gav
Wow.

00:27:26.26

Bevo
Move on, move on, move on quickly.

00:27:28.66
gav
I'm fucking...

00:27:29.98
Bevo
move on

00:27:31.54
gav
Jesus. the thing that the The main thing that I came across um when I looked him up was was um kind of the opposite. There was people being like how much he's done for um as a country artist in particular for gay rights because apparently it's like...

00:27:45.13
Chibbs
Oh, but did you read his gay his gay quotes?

00:27:45.37
gav
um

00:27:48.54
Chibbs
Like his quotes about it, the gay stuff?

00:27:49.40
gav
sorry it's um'm Sorry.

00:27:50.94
Chibbs
It's pretty fucking...

00:27:51.20
gav
I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just picturing, I'm just picturing like a coffee table book that he released one Christmas called Garth Brooks is gay quotes.

00:27:57.71
Bevo
Gay quotes.

00:27:59.77
Chibbs
I read that bit because I was going to add it in here because I was like, oh yeah, he's banging on here because apparently his sister turned out to be a lezzo or something.

00:28:00.18
Bevo
Rainbow.

00:28:06.65
Chibbs
But um it's not like, it's I wouldn't say it's the most ah like wise words ever said to really bring along the the the gay folks with Garth.

00:28:15.79
Bevo
Inclusive.

00:28:20.92
Chibbs
He's sort of just like, who am i to say anything that's uh that's up to jesus to judge them when they die and you're like well that's not it's not really the same thing though is it there garth yeah yeah

00:28:26.93
Bevo
Oh.

00:28:29.97
Bevo
Yeah.

00:28:30.33
gav
Oh yeah. That's a bit of a double-edged sword.

00:28:32.13
Bevo
It's just washing your hands of it, isn't it?

00:28:32.81
gav
Yeah. Yeah.

00:28:35.05
Bevo
Oh,

00:28:35.06
gav
Oh, that's funny.

00:28:35.19
Chibbs
yeah

00:28:35.96
gav
Cause I thought, I thought that must've, it must've been a bigger deal for him in his, in his Wikipedia photo.

00:28:42.04
Chibbs
yeah they chuck a whole thing in there know nah

00:28:42.40
gav
He's like wearing a rainbow and stuff. It's like, ah no the yeah, it looks anyway.

00:28:44.74
Bevo
wow.

00:28:46.38
gav
Yeah. There you go. did. Yeah.

00:28:47.96
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:28:48.39
gav
i'm I'm kind of surprised by this bad, bad Garth, bad Garth angle.

00:28:48.63
Chibbs
he He doesn't have a problem with them, but his lord and saviour does. Yeah.

00:28:53.52
gav
i I didn't know that's where this was going. I'm just, I'm a, I'm a little off guard.

00:28:55.54
Chibbs
Yeah. It's produced by Alan Reynolds, who was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum. In 75, Reynolds purchased ah a recording studio in Nashville called Jack's Tracks for $65,000. And he recorded everything in there, like all the Garth Brooks stuff, everything in this this thing. And then...

00:29:20.82
Chibbs
When he was done with it, he sold it to Garth Brooks and Garth Brooks bought it in 2012 and called it Allentown in honor of Alan Reynolds.

00:29:29.97
Bevo
Billy Joel.

00:29:31.42
Chibbs
There you go.

00:29:31.74
gav
ha

00:29:33.28
Chibbs
chidaoo da chita yeah.

00:29:34.87
Bevo
He does a few Billy Joels in his set.

00:29:35.04
Chibbs
Yeah,

00:29:35.38
gav
jacks jacks tracks is a dope name for a studio actually i feel like they they should have kept that name right that's fucking good jacks tracks jacks tracks tracks

00:29:38.17
Chibbs
yeah it is. Yeah. Yeah. Jack Strax. Okay.

00:29:44.47
Bevo
um Yeah, if we're talking about production, it's not great. Like the guitars come in, like, I don't know.

00:29:51.03
Chibbs
No, it's 1990. 89.

00:29:53.66
gav
yeah

00:29:54.70
Bevo
There's better stuff in that era, but yeah.

00:29:56.41
Chibbs
It's so confusing because, yeah, like, basically he's working as a shoe salesman. He's recording demos for this. But at the same time, he's managed to pick up a record deal with, like, a major label.

00:30:07.67
Chibbs
And he's working on his debut album.

00:30:07.82
Bevo
to

00:30:10.43
Chibbs
and And then he hit these guys up for some songs. But it just seems like, um'm like this really? Like it was that easy as a shoe salesman just to go get a major record deal based on what?

00:30:22.21
Chibbs
like

00:30:22.74
gav
Yeah.

00:30:23.32
Chibbs
This is how got it good it was? Did you just not have to be great in the late 80s to break through for country music or what?

00:30:30.07
gav
let No. Okay. But how is he getting those sales thing? Cause we've spoken about it. He's, he's literally, literally one of the highest selling artists of all time, not in country in general.

00:30:43.01
gav
Like he's just behind the Beatles in the U S for like number of sales.

00:30:45.66
Chibbs
Yeah, I don't, I just feel like we just, we, we needed it.

00:30:47.20
Bevo
I don't get it.

00:30:47.89
gav
It goes the Beatles, Garth Brooks, like, and it's kind of close.

00:30:48.25
Bevo
you know, I...

00:30:50.42
Chibbs
We needed a true blue country person to come on this episode and explain to us.

00:30:54.26
gav
And just tell us what the fuck.

00:30:54.64
Bevo
Yeah, an expert.

00:30:55.90
gav
Yeah.

00:30:56.48
Bevo
i've been um I've been going on a bit of a Motley Crue kick at the moment, back through Motley Crue's, like, discog.

00:30:56.63
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:31:00.02
gav
Okay. Okay. Okay.

00:31:04.98
Bevo
And they they were massive in the late 80s, like, massive.

00:31:06.71
Chibbs
They were massive.

00:31:08.54
Bevo
And that first album, the fucking one with the leather torso on it,

00:31:09.08
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:31:12.34
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:31:13.72
Bevo
is really bad. Like hit, pitchy vocals, drums out of time, like really bad.

00:31:15.74
gav
ah

00:31:21.34
Bevo
and and regardless, they became one of the biggest heavy metal bands of all time.

00:31:26.65
Chibbs
yeah

00:31:27.03
Bevo
even Rock bands of all time.

00:31:27.00
gav
Jesus.

00:31:28.19
Bevo
Yeah. It's nuts, man. It's just different types.

00:31:31.48
Chibbs
Different times.

00:31:31.67
gav
Yeah.

00:31:32.20
Chibbs
Different times. Yeah, it says Brooks here is the only artist in music history to have released nine albums that were certified Diamond.

00:31:41.72
gav
Fucking Jesus.

00:31:42.34
Chibbs
Surpassed the Beatles' former record of six.

00:31:43.49
gav
Oh,

00:31:45.46
Bevo
Is Garth the one that has the alter ego as well?

00:31:48.12
Chibbs
Yeah, Chris Gaines.

00:31:50.36
gav
really? Really?

00:31:51.35
Chibbs
Yeah, in the early 2000s, 2000, 2001, he made a movie where he's a rock star in it.

00:31:52.07
Bevo
Yeah.

00:31:58.79
Bevo
Yeah.

00:31:59.87
Chibbs
So I feel like this kind of got strung in a way where people thought, oh, he's trying to be a nu metal dude or hard rock get away from country.

00:32:10.82
Chibbs
But apparently he was doing a movie where he was playing a character like that. And then he released an album as that person. And it flopped. Like it sold nothing.

00:32:21.14
Bevo
Yeah, right. Yeah.

00:32:23.18
Chibbs
And he basically scrubbed it from the internet. Like this does not exist at all.

00:32:26.78
Bevo
Ah.

00:32:27.38
gav
Wow. That's funny.

00:32:28.32
Bevo
Okay.

00:32:29.02
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:32:29.06
Bevo
Chris Gaines.

00:32:29.26
Chibbs
But he had the full like comb over like fringe over the eye, like sort of emo-y looking thing and a whole new look.

00:32:30.33
gav
yeah

00:32:37.03
Bevo
That's what he looks like. Spider-Man in Spider-Man three. When he puts his hair forward.

00:32:39.51
Chibbs
yeah Yeah. But yeah, the movie flopped, the album flopped.

00:32:41.45
Bevo
Yeah.

00:32:42.07
gav
um to

00:32:44.37
Chibbs
The whole thing was just a a bad experiment.

00:32:46.10
gav
It sounds dog shit. It sounds dog shit.

00:32:48.02
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:32:48.10
gav
Sorry.

00:32:48.43
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:32:48.58
gav
On those on, sorry. Yep.

00:32:50.43
Chibbs
No, no, he ended up just like he, I don't know, it seems like at some point he semi-retired or maybe had a nervous breakdown or something that just didn't go out and record anything.

00:33:00.69
Chibbs
And because his music wasn't streaming or on ah iTunes or whatever, he just did a like ah crazy money deal with Walmart. Walmart was the only place that could sell Garth Brooks stuff.

00:33:12.53
gav
Wow.

00:33:13.59
Chibbs
And he just did an individual deal with Walmart to sell all of his stuff for about five years.

00:33:18.86
Bevo
It's such a mystery, isn't it? It's like the most popular artists in the world that no one can sell.

00:33:20.28
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:33:20.38
gav
That is bizarre.

00:33:24.28
Chibbs
Yeah, you can't get any of his shit except straight from him.

00:33:27.10
gav
Yeah, that's insane. um

00:33:28.47
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:33:29.02
gav
It turns out that, yeah, the RIAA in the US had Garth Brooks as the best-selling solo artist of the 20th century, um which then sparked massive outcry by people being like, that's Elvis.

00:33:42.62
gav
Like, you're wrong. That was Elvis. And you're counting it.

00:33:44.66
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:33:45.50
gav
You're counting it wrong.

00:33:46.61
Chibbs
Counting it wrong.

00:33:46.58
gav
And it apparently even Garth Brooks was like, I'm really proud of that, but also you are wrong. It is definitely Elvis. And then they re, they re-examined, uh, they've since re-examined their counting methods for their certifications and in, in stated that, um, yeah, Elvis Presley is the best-selling solo artist in us history, just ahead of number two being Garth Brooks and number three being the Beatles.

00:33:54.72
Chibbs
This cannot be correct.

00:34:03.78
Bevo
In fact, yeah.

00:34:04.44
Chibbs
Okay.

00:34:08.14
Bevo
Wow.

00:34:08.17
Chibbs
All right.

00:34:09.02
Bevo
There you go.

00:34:10.01
gav
Um, and yeah, go on then.

00:34:10.94
Chibbs
Let's play. you want to play?

00:34:13.54
gav
Fuck it.

00:34:22.62
gav
This is going to fun one.

00:34:22.94
Chibbs
Hits from 1920.

00:34:24.86
gav
This is going fun because Chibs, you get to be the tiebreaker. So all the times you complain about it not being the correct choice, now it's fucking on you, buddy.

00:34:29.24
Bevo
ah yeah.

00:34:30.41
Chibbs
Oh, that's true. Yeah, I'll be the tiebreaker.

Chibbs
Cool.

00:34:34.78
Bevo

00:34:37.30
Chibbs
That's good. I'm looking forward to it. um I'm not even going to put friends in low places here because it's just...

00:34:45.11
gav
Yeah, it's going to lose.

00:34:45.93
Bevo
It stinks.

00:34:46.55
gav
Whatever comes...

00:34:47.47
Chibbs
It's not...

00:34:47.51
gav
Yeah. yeah

00:34:49.14

is that is that is that i touch myself didn't win that's the fucking conspiracy

00:41:22.71
Chibbs
The conspiracy here is more to do with the Tom Segura stuff. So ah you have to go back years, but at some point, ah your mum's house podcast episodes basically starts with Tom Segura just looking dead down the camera, deadly serious. And he's just like, where are the bodies?

00:41:44.98

Chibbs
Where are the bodies, Garth? Where are they?

00:41:47.67
gav
a

00:41:49.59
Chibbs
And it kicked off this... thing where still to this day they pull up Garth Brooks Facebook posts, Instagram posts and play them and because of the context that they are saying we're pretty sure this guy's fucking killed a lot of people.

00:42:05.29
Chibbs
He seems like an absolute psychopath. Everything he says in these clips sounds really fucking like psychotic Yeah, it's just like, you know, i didn't want to get on this, this Facebook, but then my people were like, it's just like you, you're just having a conversation with people.

00:42:11.13
gav
so like a Psychotic. Yeah. Yeah.

00:42:24.09
Chibbs
And I like that. they just like where are the bodies and it led it led to this thing where um he had to turn all comments off on all of his social media because everything would instantly fill up with tell the families deserve closure garth where are the bodies garth where's this and it would be thousands in the tens of thousands yeah

00:42:25.90
gav
Oh, Jesus Christ. ah

00:42:39.51
Bevo
Oh, where are the bodies?

00:42:41.82

Bevo
You know, do you ever see the Shannon Knoll on social media?

00:43:10.46
gav
Like, there's there's an actual formula that you have to follow and you you look at any post he's ever made, the top comment is always the best version of that formula that someone's posted.

00:43:13.62
Bevo
Yeah.

00:43:20.92
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:43:21.32

gav
No way!

00:43:56.12
Chibbs
on all of these things because they would just fill up with these, where are the bodies, the the families deserve closure um and all this stuff. And then there was a bunch of times where people would go into Garth Brooks shows and people would go take signs and stuff and then they'd get put up on the big so jumbo screen and people would have the sign and then flip it when it got to them would say, where are the bodies?

00:44:11.19

00:44:28.57
gav

It is the most hectic thing you'll ever watch. It's unbelievably funny, but so it is so fucked up. You're like, I can't believe no one went, you can't you can't do that.

00:45:04.10
Chibbs
But one of the sketches in the first season is a um he's a country artist that looks and sounds very much like garth brooks but he's running a camp like it's a north korean gulag and he's got people and he like he sits up there and he's got a guitar he's like okay we're gonna come up with song ideas now and they're all sitting there like with their fucking like they're tied up on their knees in the dirt and there's north korean soldiers like

00:45:14.78
Bevo
excuse

00:45:14.85
gav
Oh my god.

00:45:18.81
gav
ah

00:45:32.54
gav
oh my god

00:45:33.22
Chibbs
hipping people with rifles and shit and stuff.

00:45:35.38
gav
ah

00:45:35.85
Chibbs
And he's just been Garth Brooks. He just flat out did a whole sketch where he is Garth Brooks, but is just an absolute psychopath.

00:45:38.19
Bevo
Yeah.

00:45:39.03
gav
ah

00:45:44.45
Bevo
Yeah.

00:45:44.57
Chibbs
ah you ah can't but The second season of Bad Thoughts came out like a couple of weeks ago and you can rip through it in a night.

00:45:52.49
gav
Jesus Christ.

00:45:53.02
Bevo
Yeah.

00:45:53.15
Chibbs
It's short. Watch them. You will laugh your dick off.

00:45:58.07
Bevo
Good.

00:45:58.62
Chibbs
It is so funny.

00:45:59.03
gav
Jesus. and drop drop drop Drop it in the chat because I'll forget.

00:46:00.31
Chibbs
Yeah,

00:46:00.34
Bevo
Just to... I just want to, I found the Shannon Noel thing I want to read to you because it's him in a ute and and the cap his caption is, when it's too wet to get the ute down the back, this Segway power sports is the perfect tool.

00:46:02.49
Chibbs
I will. Yeah. Yeah.

00:46:12.27
Bevo
And one of the comments is, not the only wood bouncing around today, is it, Nolsey? You're fucking. I'll settle down, mate, only mixing your two-stroke at 25 to 1. Mate, while I got you, i was wondering if you still have that bucket of grinder sparks I'll let you borrow.

00:46:25.30
Bevo
The old horseshoe make-up. I do a bit of handyman stuff around the house and I kind of need it back. Anyway, gotta to go. The old dodgeball is carrying on. Hooroo. Ta-ta. See ya. Take care now. Bye. Bye-bye then.

00:46:36.03
Bevo
See ya. Cheerio. They're all like that.

00:46:39.51
Chibbs
People just commenting on Jenna Nulls on this.

00:46:40.31
gav
And it's all exactly like that.

00:46:42.33
Bevo
And there's another one.

00:46:42.51
gav
It's all exactly like that.

00:46:44.41
Bevo
G'day, Nolsey. Good to see you out and about. Whilst I got you on the dog and bone, any chance I could get the saw file mark and lent you last year at the Still Power Sports show? Anyway, got to keep going. See you around like a rissole. Hooroo.

00:46:57.46
Chibbs
All right, let's do this.

00:47:02.65
gav
whom

00:47:11.86
Chibbs
Gus Brooks net worth in 2026. What do you reckon, Gav?

00:47:15.48
gav
this is so fucking hard because he's got such a weird, like his distribution deals throw this way out of whack.

00:47:21.62
Chibbs
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:47:21.69
gav
Like we're talking, we're talking, but we're talking,

00:47:22.58
Chibbs
It's really tricky.

00:47:25.43
gav
like number two in he's just behind elvis in terms of sales and i did say he was right in the slot for that like oh plus a decade out yeah two year long fucking residency shit he's got to be stacked here i'm going ah fuck it 150 let's go 150 i might be oh fuck i've probably undershot that actually ah

00:47:31.64
Bevo
Also the residency, don't forget them.

00:47:46.30
gav
fuck it i'll stick with it 150

00:47:46.82
Bevo
See, no, I'm going under. I'm going to say 90 million.

00:47:50.36
Chibbs
Okay. um Yeah, no, I think good good guesses because it's also based on the fact that he's playing in a lot of other people's songs and stuff like that.

00:48:00.89
gav
Yeah.

00:48:01.90
Chibbs
Garth Brooks has got an economy where he's making a lot of people rich.

00:48:06.07
gav
Yeah.

00:48:07.06
Chibbs
But he's managed to...

00:48:07.35
Bevo
Also, you look at his set list and not many of his songs, it's a lot of covers.

00:48:11.51
Chibbs
Yeah, yeah.

00:48:12.00
gav
Right. Yeah.

00:48:13.26
Chibbs
He's managed to gain a net worth of...

00:48:13.42
gav
Yeah.

00:48:20.11
Chibbs
$400 million. dollars

00:48:21.56
gav
Fucking shit me to death. I knew I'd underdone it. Fucking knew it.

00:48:26.26
Bevo
That's nuts. I mean, I should have known.

00:48:27.13
gav
As soon as I saw, fuck, as soon as I threw it out, I was like, I should have doubled it.

00:48:28.10
Chibbs
But look, ah if I've been guessing that, based on the numbers and the CDs and everything you would have sold back then, i would have thought billionaire. I would have went billion.

00:48:38.94
Chibbs
I would have honestly been looking at it like im like this guy, like if Rihanna's worth a billion, like surely Garth Brooks is worth a billion dollars.

00:48:41.98
Bevo
Do you know,

00:48:45.40
Bevo
my, um my, my test now that my sort of like, I know this one for sure is I think it's Hetfield from Metallica is 300 mil and Dave Grohl's 350 or one or the other, like, yeah, but they're like top level, like that's how much a top level rock musician is making

00:48:54.20
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:48:57.11
Chibbs
But they write the songs.

00:49:04.63
Chibbs
But he's a country dude.

00:49:06.17
Bevo
Yeah, that's what I mean.

00:49:06.65
gav
Yeah, fuck.

00:49:06.93
Bevo
So, yeah, I way undershot it there, but, yeah.

00:49:09.21
gav
I, yeah, I, ah yeah, I feel like I...

00:49:11.13
Bevo
In

00:49:11.19
Chibbs
This is why Taylor Swift is worth a billion dollars, because she cracked the country market and the pop market.

00:49:14.84
gav
Also,

00:49:16.38
Bevo
the female market, more than anything.

00:49:17.75
gav
also though, look, if we're talking, if we're talking Garth Brooks, let's say he made the bulk of his fortune in the nine in the ninety s right?

00:49:17.82
Chibbs
And the female market.

00:49:23.83
Chibbs
The Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

00:49:26.33
gav
how has he not invested that to be worth at least like multiple fucking bit? If you gave, if you gave any savvy person in the early nineties, tens of millions of dollars, if that fucking guy isn't, a yeah, that's what i mean.

00:49:32.50
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:49:33.37
Bevo
Hmm.

00:49:39.03
Chibbs
some Apple stock.

00:49:40.44
Bevo
By three houses.

00:49:40.89
Chibbs
Yeah, yeah.

00:49:41.73
Bevo
Yeah.

00:49:41.80
gav
It's like, yeah, you should be a fucking billionaire by now.

00:49:42.03
Bevo
Yeah.

00:49:44.15
Chibbs
Yeah. Are you saying your money and and' didn't mention out of the word Microsoft to you at some time in 1994?

00:49:44.82
Bevo
yeah

00:49:44.96
gav
You absolute crizom.

00:49:49.85
gav
Like, that's what I mean. Like,

00:49:50.95
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:49:52.21
gav
I'm not out here saying I'm some fucking genius investor, but if someone gave me like a hundred million dollars right now, fast forward fucking 30 years, it's a billion dollars just from being in the fucking index fund.

00:50:06.17
gav
Like the ax the ASX 200 is...

00:50:06.39
Chibbs
ah bought i bought a um i bought a bunch of ah I bought a bunch of SpaceX stock last week.

00:50:12.51
gav
Oh, bad dog. are you looking?

00:50:14.62
Chibbs
It's up.

00:50:14.78
gav
Up.

00:50:16.02
Chibbs
To the moon!

00:50:16.84
gav
Let's just say up. yeah quite literally to the moon i saw of the market caps now at like three trill i was like oh god is it is it a bubble though that's that's

00:50:19.64
Chibbs
good Yeah, yeah.

00:50:26.65
Chibbs
ah know, yeah, yeah. I stayed up, stayed up, wait for the for the the ah IPO.

00:50:29.98
Bevo
None of this stuff means anything to me. I spent $1.50 on an apple the other day and it made me very upset.

00:50:35.45
Chibbs
He's also bought cans of juice, which is the strange situation to end up in.

00:50:39.03
Bevo
Not anymore. Those days are well done.

00:50:41.21
gav
ah

00:50:41.34
Chibbs
All right.

00:50:42.58
gav
oh my god let's talk more about that off the pod i need to get some numbers on that chibs but let's let's chat later

00:50:43.16
Bevo
not Not in this economy.

00:50:44.01
Chibbs
Oh,

00:50:47.77
Chibbs
ah yeah, yeah. Let's see what's going to happen here.

00:50:58.05
Chibbs
What do you reckon, Bevo?

00:50:59.58
Bevo
You know what we forgot to do is worst lyric of all time.

00:51:02.27
gav
Oh shit. There would have been a good one in this.

00:51:04.79
Bevo
Yeah.

00:51:04.92
Chibbs
What do you reckon it was?

00:51:06.36
Bevo
um

00:51:06.94
gav
um I reckon it's when he turns into a little bitch in the second verse.

00:51:10.22
Bevo
Yeah, just to go to find the right.

00:51:10.46
gav
um yeah i hope

00:51:12.57
Chibbs
ah don't know if there's so much a bad lyric as there is just the concept is

00:51:12.62
Bevo
Yeah,

00:51:15.77
gav
Just bad concept. I think, I think him saying, I didn't mean to cause a big scene might be the biggest bitch move in that whole fucking.

00:51:17.30
Bevo
yeah.

00:51:21.05
Bevo
I like the, I like the, give me, give me an hour and then I'll be as high as the ivory tower that you're living in.

00:51:23.38
Chibbs
yeah, whatever, guys.

00:51:23.66
gav
Yeah. You obviously did. You silly can't.

00:51:25.72
Chibbs
a Yeah, yeah.

00:51:30.12
Bevo
It's like, okay.

00:51:31.10
gav
Oh, yeah.

00:51:31.28
Bevo
So you,

00:51:32.34
gav
Can we just say that whole second verse is the worst lyric of all time?

00:51:34.71
Bevo
yeah.

00:51:35.10
Chibbs
Yeah, that's fine.

00:51:35.45
Bevo
Yeah. Great.

00:51:36.10
gav
Nice, nice.

00:51:36.18
Bevo
Good. um No, I still, I still think I would get soiled by Mr.

00:51:41.91
Chibbs
All right, it does say here.

00:51:42.00
Bevo
Brooks.

00:51:45.40
Chibbs
Yeah, it says, okay, fight result, Bevo versus 1990s Garth Brooks. Says this is bad news for Bevo. 1990s Garth Brooks isn't currently cuddly arena dad Garth.

00:51:56.77
Chibbs
This is prime breakout era Garth. Late 20s to 30s, Oklahoma built, ex-athlete, former Oklahoma state javelin thrower, already doing the kind of stage work that suggests frightening cardio.

00:51:59.56
gav
Yeah.

00:52:00.47
Bevo
a gas station attendant.

00:52:09.81
Chibbs
Bevo comes in confident, probably thinking it's a country singer.

00:52:09.91
gav
Fuck you.

00:52:12.81
Chibbs
How hard can this be? Then Garth. takes his hat off, switches into no fences era intensity, and suddenly it's not a fight. It's a rodeo accident with witnesses. Verdict.

00:52:26.01
Chibbs
Garth Brooks wins by second round country strength mauling.

00:52:30.49
Bevo
Fair enough.

00:52:31.11
Chibbs
Bevo survives, but only because Garth stops halfway through to emotionally dedicate the beating to the working man.

00:52:38.90
gav
Oh my God.

00:52:39.22
Chibbs
so

00:52:40.09
Bevo
It's me.

00:52:41.05
gav
Jesus Christ. That is funny.

00:52:43.90
Chibbs
but

00:52:44.54
gav
um

00:52:44.63
Chibbs
yeah

00:52:45.46
gav
Yeah, no, that went about as well as as as well as we could have expected.

00:52:48.14
Bevo
I'm so glad that that made it over to the main part.

00:52:50.85
Chibbs
yeah yeah yeah sorry bevo he didn't kill you at least that's fair enough good stuff all right

00:52:51.26
gav
Oh, fuck. That's funny. That's fucking funny. ah

00:52:56.57
Bevo
No, no, I was humble about that. And I, yeah.

00:52:59.22
gav
Yeah, no, I feel like we all recognize what that was. if To be fair, any three of us would have been absolutely fucking pasted by that guy.

00:53:04.91
Chibbs
all three of us together would have fucking got killed by gas it's a fucking unit javelin thrower

00:53:04.88
gav
That's just not going to happen. At that once. Yeah, no shit. Yeah.

00:53:11.03
gav
To be honest, I feel like if all three of us got into a fight with an individual, I would want us to run at them one after the other instead of three at one. I would want to be that dumb cliche you always see in kung fu movies.

00:53:23.77
Chibbs
Yeah, yeah.

00:53:23.82
gav
It's just like, Bevo, you have your go.

00:53:24.83
Bevo
Waiting for your turn.

00:53:24.96
Chibbs
Take turns.

00:53:26.04
Bevo
if

00:53:26.06
gav
You have your go, Bevo.

00:53:26.33
Chibbs
Take turns.

00:53:27.26
gav
And he gets the shit kicked out of him.

00:53:27.74
Bevo
Yeah. Yeah.

00:53:28.90
gav
I'm like, okay, I guess you're right

00:53:29.59
Chibbs
You just watch Bevo get fucking stomped out.

00:53:29.66
Bevo
And also it's like, yeah.

00:53:33.10
Chibbs
You're like, well, I guess it's my turn. Ah!

00:53:35.22
gav
ah

00:53:37.30
Bevo
It's also funny in those in those all those movies, like turn you get one kick to the head and you're down forever.

00:53:38.99
gav
Stand back, Chibs. I'm having my go.

00:53:44.52
Bevo
like

00:53:45.97
Chibbs
You're never the same.

00:53:46.17
gav
ah Yeah, eating through a straw.

00:53:50.55
Bevo
those guys never get well Those guys never get up again.

00:53:50.65
Chibbs
We should have gone together. We should

00:53:55.00
Bevo
You never see those guys like sort of sidle off, holding their heads or anything. that They're dead.

00:53:59.88
Chibbs
They're dead. He's killed them.

00:54:01.20
gav
Oh, fuck.

00:54:01.76
Chibbs
All right, let's write this shit.

00:54:01.90
gav
I'll tell you the best thing.

00:54:12.43
gav
No, was going to say the best thing is Tarantino movies where it's like cunts have had their arms and legs chopped off and they're the ones that are hobbling out.

00:54:16.99
Chibbs
Oh, yeah.

00:54:18.55
gav
They're like, there's there's footage in Kill Bill of people like holding their leg under their arm, hopping out of the room and shit.

00:54:18.65
Chibbs
Yeah, it's great.

00:54:19.12
Bevo
yeah yeah

00:54:23.80
Chibbs
Yeah. Yeah.

00:54:24.99
gav
That is such a great like middle finger to that trope.

00:54:25.09
Chibbs
It's great.

00:54:28.38
Chibbs
Yeah.

00:54:29.29
gav
Oh, fuck.

00:54:29.40
Chibbs
ah Okay. What are we going to rate um low places?

00:54:33.46
Bevo
how low are the places nor mariana's trench

00:54:33.56
Chibbs
I've got friends. How low the place is.

00:54:35.10
gav
Yeah, how low are the... yeah

00:54:37.98
Chibbs

gav
Oh, my God.

00:54:41.40
Chibbs
Yeah, okay. um Yeah, 10, you've gone so low, you've literally have been crushed into a dust under the weight of the ocean. And one is...

00:54:51.29
Bevo
One, and you've got a, what's that, um ver no, what's the, what's called?

00:54:55.35
Chibbs
The Bends.

00:54:56.12
Bevo
The

00:54:57.62
Chibbs
ah

00:54:59.89
gav
that's such a weird scale the bends are so bad the bends will kill you they both die that's fitting it's fitting no you're right you're right oh my god yeah it's probably a 10 this song fucking sucks

00:55:02.75
Chibbs
The Bends is terrible. Oh, I think that's... No, that's probably pretty fair for this song, fitting for this song.

00:55:09.34
Bevo
ten Ten, you're traversing the ocean floor in a submarine with a PlayStation control. Yeah.

00:55:15.86
Chibbs
What do you give ah friends in low places, yeah,

00:55:29.91
Chibbs
I'm hovering on it.

00:55:32.66
gav
I probably couldn't, to be honest, I maybe could have rolled a point off and given it a nine if he'd stuck to his guns and just made a mess of their nice fucking celebration.

00:55:42.56
Chibbs
Yeah, fuck shit up, Garth.

00:55:44.25
gav
The fact that he went in all guns blazing and then was just such a little bitch in the second verse...

00:55:47.13
Bevo
Yeah. so

00:55:48.70
Chibbs
Yeah. Also, you've got friends in low places. Bring some of them. Fuck this shit up.

Chibbs
Yeah.

00:56:34.23
Bevo

gav
I feel like feel like Dan would have gotten behind it.

00:58:14.64
Bevo
We don't have Dan or mad dog here because I feel like it's hard to know, but yeah, more tens would have made this weightier in the list.

Chibbs
Yeah.

00:58:24.01
gav
ah

00:58:24.17

Bevo
This is the thing about our podcast is like...

00:59:29.66

00:59:43.39
Chibbs

Chibbs
Yeah.

00:59:44.22
gav
Yeah. Yeah.

00:59:51.10
