00:10.223 --> 00:15.152
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, Mike and our back here with our episode on Bruno Mars for the top five.
00:15.172 --> 00:25.870
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to rank our top five Bruno Mars songs or collaborations that that he's done, but before that,
00:26.018 --> 00:38.574
[SPEAKER_02]: I wanted to ask Mike about some of the Bruno Mars songs that either have come out of late or were just early collaborations and I'm wondering what Mike thinks about those songs.
00:38.594 --> 00:45.542
[SPEAKER_02]: So we have, we'll do the segment of rock with it and stop with it.
00:45.823 --> 00:49.828
[SPEAKER_02]: The first two songs I have, by the way, are very recent.
00:49.968 --> 00:53.292
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm interested in what Mike thinks about.
00:53.272 --> 01:00.922
[SPEAKER_02]: these two recent songs, all right, die with a smile with Lady Gaga.
01:02.183 --> 01:02.844
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna stop it.
01:03.345 --> 01:06.409
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't particularly care for Lady Gaga.
01:07.310 --> 01:09.372
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the song is fine.
01:10.233 --> 01:11.936
[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't go back to it very much.
01:14.198 --> 01:20.967
[SPEAKER_02]: I like the hook on on this song, like when Bruno goes for it, I really like it.
01:21.115 --> 01:22.096
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
01:22.116 --> 01:23.638
[SPEAKER_02]: It's, it's a little too.
01:25.340 --> 01:29.525
[SPEAKER_02]: Ah, there's not enough emotion for the, for the message of the song.
01:29.545 --> 01:35.572
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't really feel the emotion until Bruno, you know, throws everything into it.
01:35.612 --> 01:41.459
[SPEAKER_02]: But for a lot of the song, it's just kind of like, unexcited, unemotional.
01:41.500 --> 01:41.980
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
01:42.000 --> 01:43.922
[SPEAKER_02]: There's something missing in it for me, though.
01:43.942 --> 01:46.465
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like looking at all the streams.
01:46.586 --> 01:47.747
[SPEAKER_02]: People love that song.
01:49.027 --> 01:50.609
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, here's another one.
01:50.709 --> 01:53.552
[SPEAKER_02]: I, this is not in your wheelhouse.
01:53.632 --> 01:56.815
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to guess APT, baby.
01:58.177 --> 02:01.260
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, not messing with it.
02:01.280 --> 02:03.802
[SPEAKER_00]: I listen to that song once and I was like, nope, not for me.
02:05.244 --> 02:11.090
[SPEAKER_02]: This song, I have a 11 year old stepdaughter.
02:12.772 --> 02:13.853
[SPEAKER_02]: This song,
02:15.014 --> 02:21.795
[SPEAKER_02]: was played so many times in my car, in my house.
02:23.561 --> 02:24.062
[SPEAKER_02]: And
02:24.886 --> 02:54.403
[SPEAKER_02]: Any time she was like, hey, you know, we're driving to school or whatever, can I listen to some music and it was just this song was generally the first, which is actually really good because she loves K pop and this is actually, I don't think it's her introduction to Bruno Mars, but this will be the thing that she remembers from him like if she likes another Bruno song, she'll be like, oh yeah, that guy from APT, whereas you and I are like,
02:54.383 --> 02:55.705
[SPEAKER_00]: What is Bruno doing on this.
02:55.865 --> 02:59.930
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that was kind of my sentiment when I first heard this song.
02:59.950 --> 03:04.917
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, this, this does not feel like it's in a lane for Bruno Mars.
03:05.398 --> 03:07.220
[SPEAKER_00]: It's definitely not in a lane from my Joseph.
03:07.320 --> 03:09.583
[SPEAKER_00]: So be that.
03:09.884 --> 03:18.535
[SPEAKER_02]: But it also, but it also goes back to when we did our episode on do ops and who against where I said he understands.
03:18.970 --> 03:22.898
[SPEAKER_02]: kind of how to reach people in a very smart way.
03:23.139 --> 03:37.189
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know that he's a giant kpop fan, but he knew enough about it to find a way to this new audience who may not have been Bruno Mars fans for all we know before he did this all.
03:37.429 --> 03:38.852
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought that was really smart.
03:40.283 --> 03:40.984
[SPEAKER_00]: No, for sure.
03:41.004 --> 03:58.998
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, if you're trying to extend your brand, you know what I'm saying, like you want to plug into these audiences that may not necessarily be in your wheelhouse, and you know, I don't know that K-pop fans, I would assume that most young K-pop fans think of Bruno Mars now is like their parents music.
04:00.220 --> 04:03.827
[SPEAKER_00]: So for him to do that, like, you know, you're opening yourself up to a new generation.
04:04.415 --> 04:08.781
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, these songs are a little bit older, but they're not necessarily on his album album.
04:08.801 --> 04:12.487
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm just interested in one of the third of the men, young wild and free.
04:14.069 --> 04:14.329
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
04:15.030 --> 04:17.033
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I'm not a Wizzcliffe a person.
04:18.716 --> 04:23.022
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Bruno's part is probably the best my favorite part of it.
04:23.423 --> 04:24.364
[SPEAKER_00]: It's an it's I.
04:25.357 --> 04:28.882
[SPEAKER_00]: Bruno and Snoop together, hanging out, chilling, smoking weed.
04:29.202 --> 04:33.828
[SPEAKER_00]: I can only imagine how much weed was ingested during that recording session.
04:35.370 --> 04:41.658
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, the finesse remix with Cardi B, which takes us back to like the late 80s, early 90s.
04:42.158 --> 04:43.580
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I loved the video.
04:45.523 --> 04:48.426
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like the in-living color video.
04:48.847 --> 04:49.588
[SPEAKER_00]: I liked the video.
04:49.628 --> 04:50.669
[SPEAKER_00]: The song is okay.
04:51.510 --> 04:54.334
[SPEAKER_00]: Cardi didn't need to be on the song
04:55.445 --> 05:04.377
[SPEAKER_02]: But again, he's leaning into like, oh, like there's this Cardi fan base who may not be rocking with me too much.
05:04.437 --> 05:05.538
[SPEAKER_02]: So let me wrap into that.
05:06.900 --> 05:23.882
[SPEAKER_02]: On became a huge hit thanks in part to being on the twilight soundtrack, it will rain.
05:25.128 --> 05:28.752
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know what, that song would have been on like the edge of my top five.
05:29.513 --> 05:30.834
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, there we go.
05:30.894 --> 05:32.556
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's a great song.
05:32.616 --> 05:39.202
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, it kind of speaks to through no being good at so many things.
05:39.363 --> 05:41.925
[SPEAKER_00]: Like he's a great like live entertainer.
05:41.985 --> 05:50.434
[SPEAKER_00]: Excuse me, he's a great songwriter, but it will rain is just like, if you want to hear this dude like sing down, like he tears that song up.
05:52.196 --> 05:53.397
[SPEAKER_00]: I wonder,
05:54.288 --> 06:07.032
[SPEAKER_02]: Like in my mind, it is so much tied to that or though I don't even remember which Twilight movie it was, but it's so much tied there that almost kind of like
06:08.412 --> 06:35.170
[SPEAKER_02]: changes like if that was if it was on an album or or not attached to that movie I wonder if I what I would think or if I would think a little bit differently but it's like like there's a certain timeframe for twilight and in a way because it's attached to the twilight movie it kind of dates itself specifically in my brain to that time frame whereas some of his other songs I don't think about them that way so I don't know that that I'm sure it was great for him to be attached to that soundtrack.
06:35.230 --> 06:35.590
[SPEAKER_02]: Sure.
06:35.630 --> 06:36.732
[SPEAKER_02]: Sure.
06:36.712 --> 06:42.259
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I wonder if if with it's because I mean, you said that, you know, you kind of forgot about it.
06:42.279 --> 06:42.920
[SPEAKER_02]: But I don't know.
06:42.980 --> 06:49.909
[SPEAKER_02]: This is kind of an interesting thing where when I hear that song, I think of like that genre that movie, those movies.
06:49.929 --> 07:04.828
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I mean, I, I can't say why I forgot about it, but it's definitely not because of Twilight because I've never seen a Twilight movie in my life.
07:05.956 --> 07:13.066
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, man, some pretty talented young actors and actresses came out of that series.
07:13.106 --> 07:16.130
[SPEAKER_02]: So it was Robert Pattinson, pretty big star right now.
07:17.071 --> 07:21.517
[SPEAKER_02]: The kid who played Jacob the Werewolf, I thought he was going to be a bigger star, but I haven't really seen him in too much.
07:21.577 --> 07:23.760
[SPEAKER_02]: So I didn't know who he was talking about.
07:23.780 --> 07:29.668
[SPEAKER_02]: Then obviously Chris and Stuart, Jacob the Werewolf kind of look like
07:29.952 --> 07:35.122
[SPEAKER_02]: Mario Lopez, like a young Mario Lopez in a way, but a bit a little bit bigger than Mario Lopez.
07:35.362 --> 07:40.192
[SPEAKER_00]: Jacob, the Weirwolf played by Taylor Loutner.
07:40.652 --> 07:43.458
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I know that name.
07:43.498 --> 07:44.620
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
07:45.190 --> 07:46.672
[SPEAKER_02]: And hey man, 50, 50.
07:46.812 --> 07:48.455
[SPEAKER_02]: We're not, we're not, this is in 30 for 30.
07:50.578 --> 07:51.860
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not in our wheelhouse.
07:51.960 --> 07:52.501
[SPEAKER_02]: No, man.
07:53.202 --> 07:55.946
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, last one I have is billionaire with Travee.
07:56.708 --> 07:57.308
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a cool sign.
07:57.389 --> 07:58.971
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I don't go back to it.
07:59.652 --> 08:04.279
[SPEAKER_00]: It was fine when it was out, you know, Travee McCoy is kind of,
08:05.896 --> 08:12.285
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it's hard to place him and he was definitely like a thing of his era and then became like not a thing anymore.
08:12.305 --> 08:15.449
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's, it's a fine song.
08:16.691 --> 08:26.364
[SPEAKER_02]: It is also very doops and hooligans sounding like it's, it's right from that time frame from from the music they were making at that time frame.
08:26.564 --> 08:28.267
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, okay.
08:29.048 --> 08:30.790
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, got those out of the way.
08:31.310 --> 08:32.512
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's start our top five.
08:32.532 --> 08:33.793
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll go from five to one.
08:34.674 --> 08:45.389
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, I'll let you go first, but I will say the songs that I kept out of that were kind of on the cusp.
08:46.090 --> 08:47.992
[SPEAKER_02]: I like runaway baby.
08:48.012 --> 08:55.482
[SPEAKER_02]: Uptown funk, which you mentioned, he got sued for.
08:56.123 --> 09:00.709
[SPEAKER_02]: Like there's this,
09:00.925 --> 09:03.289
[SPEAKER_02]: a playlist at a party.
09:04.151 --> 09:07.797
[SPEAKER_02]: And it crosses over like people are like, Oh, they're excited.
09:09.540 --> 09:10.702
[SPEAKER_02]: There's something smart about that.
09:11.223 --> 09:18.175
[SPEAKER_02]: And then even though this is a little, I don't even know how to a little,
09:18.762 --> 09:31.581
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know a little corny when when I was your man what was something that I really liked but not enough like when I heard it again after not listening to it for a little while I can't there's I did I do like this song.
09:31.601 --> 09:32.622
[SPEAKER_02]: I really like this song.
09:32.642 --> 09:46.322
[SPEAKER_02]: So those are the ones I left off but but before we get there I mentioned this in the last episode for Sachi on the floor man perm You got to relax
09:48.158 --> 09:52.904
[SPEAKER_00]: Hermes, I, that's, and I actually am going to reach back.
09:53.985 --> 09:55.247
[SPEAKER_00]: Grab my 24k magic.
09:57.329 --> 10:00.553
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I think, Oh, man, there's not even line or notes.
10:01.154 --> 10:02.476
[SPEAKER_00]: How do I just snap through to the suck?
10:03.217 --> 10:05.780
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to save her such a lot of flow was co-written with baby face.
10:07.342 --> 10:11.567
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, let me, let me look.
10:12.121 --> 10:18.754
[SPEAKER_02]: Let me see if there's anything that I can quickly pull up online to see if there's any credits here.
10:20.398 --> 10:22.963
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm looking at the Wikipedia now.
10:24.706 --> 10:33.083
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not co-written by baby Facebook, you know, James Fonsoroy, who is like a huge,
10:34.109 --> 10:38.917
[SPEAKER_00]: a songwriter written for like Justin Timberleak and Frank Ocean and you know tons of people.
10:39.378 --> 10:41.601
[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean there is a song on the album.
10:41.641 --> 10:44.126
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm pretty sure that was written by babyface.
10:44.366 --> 10:46.289
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it's not that one but I'd do it.
10:46.309 --> 10:47.211
[SPEAKER_02]: Too good to say goodbye.
10:47.972 --> 10:48.312
[SPEAKER_00]: Ah okay.
10:49.394 --> 10:50.877
[SPEAKER_00]: That's actually a really good song too.
10:51.398 --> 10:52.139
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
10:52.159 --> 10:55.324
[SPEAKER_00]: Which now tracks.
10:55.878 --> 11:02.465
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, Perme, like, Perme might be my vote for least faith for what's wrong.
11:02.485 --> 11:25.108
[SPEAKER_02]: And this is where I got, you know, just the couriness of like, he's gonna have one or two of these where you're like, really dude, like, even at the time when Perme and Versace and the floor came out, I kind of like gave both of those like the side I have like, you're a little too grown to try and be that trendy
11:25.612 --> 11:50.674
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, just the idea of whatever the title was and then kind of the theme of the song like just the perm you got to relax like I'm just like okay dude, like yeah okay.
11:50.840 --> 12:07.996
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so I actually ended up with six and the one that ended up in the six spot was Gorilla from an orthodox jukebox, which is like, you know, I think it's a better version of what he tried to do with Versace on the floor, even though like I'm not mad at Versace on the floor.
12:09.938 --> 12:20.728
[SPEAKER_00]: There is a remix of Gorilla, which features a singer that we no longer talk about because he is a horrible human being.
12:22.598 --> 12:31.073
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I can't say before this stuff that he did came to light because the stuff that he did was already pretty well known, but before it became fact and this person went to prison.
12:31.774 --> 12:37.504
[SPEAKER_00]: And my conscience got to me, but the original version of gorilla doesn't have any of those people on it.
12:38.366 --> 12:41.371
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's just like like it's a good slow jam.
12:41.411 --> 12:42.673
[SPEAKER_00]: So that was my number six.
12:43.014 --> 12:44.877
[SPEAKER_02]: I had no idea.
12:45.413 --> 12:48.519
[SPEAKER_02]: There was a remix featuring the person that you are talking about.
12:48.619 --> 12:50.202
[SPEAKER_02]: I, I, yeah, this is before.
12:50.682 --> 12:52.806
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it might still be on streaming services.
12:53.768 --> 12:55.030
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, that's got YouTube.
12:55.691 --> 12:56.072
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
12:56.092 --> 12:56.273
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
12:56.333 --> 13:00.620
[SPEAKER_00]: It's got that guy and Pharrell actually is on it as well.
13:01.081 --> 13:07.152
[SPEAKER_02]: By the way, did you see Pharrell and Chad just not fans of each other anymore?
13:07.385 --> 13:16.937
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep, you know, jazz like grow you owe you owe me so much money and royalties and you try to steal the Neptune's name underneath my nose.
13:17.137 --> 13:17.898
[SPEAKER_02]: What's going on?
13:19.600 --> 13:21.743
[SPEAKER_00]: Beef is when I see you guaranteed to be an ICU.
13:21.843 --> 13:23.005
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, man.
13:24.166 --> 13:25.488
[SPEAKER_02]: The Legos movie, man.
13:27.470 --> 13:27.991
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
13:28.011 --> 13:28.632
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you see that?
13:28.952 --> 13:30.093
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, no.
13:30.834 --> 13:32.677
[SPEAKER_02]: It's so good.
13:33.658 --> 13:35.400
[SPEAKER_02]: What so well done?
13:36.595 --> 13:49.542
[SPEAKER_02]: Now does there need to be a for all they goes movie like that is absolutely not it's really the question But if you're going to do that They went all out
13:49.943 --> 14:10.618
[SPEAKER_02]: to see Lego Jay-Z with Jay-Z doing Lego Jay-Z and Lego Snoop Dogg with Lego with Snoop Dogg doing Lego Snoop Dogg all of that music we saw in the theaters which is why because I wanted to hear the music in the theaters that made it better I don't know right in a experience like on streaming or whatever
14:12.607 --> 14:22.421
[SPEAKER_02]: that was so like so well done for such a silly kind of way to do your biography or your auto biographical picture, your biopic or whatever.
14:22.461 --> 14:26.427
[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, how long is this movie that you saw in the theater?
14:27.288 --> 14:28.490
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like 90 minutes or more.
14:28.510 --> 14:31.534
[SPEAKER_01]: Do I want to see 90 minutes of furrow?
14:32.816 --> 14:35.180
[SPEAKER_02]: I think you would dig it because of the music.
14:36.141 --> 14:37.483
[SPEAKER_02]: Would would your
14:38.628 --> 15:06.525
[SPEAKER_02]: uh... would you're kind of like um... bs detector go off with a lot of it yeah because this is for all telling his own story uh... there is a lot of like oh yeah you know i was a kid i didn't know what i want to do and you know it's just playing outside and i got this idea like it's a very like sit sit sit sit sit simple way for him to tell his story but it is well done in the way that they do it and then a magic keyboard that plays the same damn be over and over fell on him
15:08.142 --> 15:18.553
[SPEAKER_02]: him on, you know, that him making, making his picnic table at school, you know, just hitting his, you know, to get the, to get the beat for the clips and all that.
15:18.573 --> 15:19.695
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, totally all that.
15:19.775 --> 15:21.176
[SPEAKER_02]: Justin Timberlake, all that.
15:22.678 --> 15:23.479
[SPEAKER_02]: It's well done.
15:23.619 --> 15:25.641
[SPEAKER_02]: It is silly, but it is very well done.
15:26.542 --> 15:31.487
[SPEAKER_00]: If I get another snow day, maybe we'll, we'll make the Ferrell Lego movie work.
15:31.507 --> 15:31.788
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
15:31.908 --> 15:32.769
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't have a six.
15:32.829 --> 15:34.531
[SPEAKER_02]: I gave you my like three runners up.
15:34.591 --> 15:35.652
[SPEAKER_02]: So what was your five?
15:35.902 --> 15:37.568
[SPEAKER_00]: my five was 24k magic.
15:39.195 --> 15:45.338
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just like it's it's dumb, but it's fun and dumb.
15:45.436 --> 15:51.344
[SPEAKER_02]: And another song you can grow on a playlist that people will just be like, I rock with this.
15:51.585 --> 15:52.867
[SPEAKER_02]: I remember this.
15:52.947 --> 15:54.349
[SPEAKER_02]: I know, I know how it makes me feel.
15:54.769 --> 16:00.117
[SPEAKER_00]: So one of those things where it's like, even if you don't want to dance, you're going to hear it, and you're going to get up anyway.
16:00.137 --> 16:00.878
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
16:00.898 --> 16:00.998
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
16:01.018 --> 16:01.179
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
16:01.339 --> 16:01.719
[SPEAKER_02]: For sure.
16:01.759 --> 16:01.980
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
16:02.000 --> 16:04.744
[SPEAKER_02]: My number five is a silksonic song.
16:05.925 --> 16:06.707
[SPEAKER_02]: Leave the door open.
16:06.787 --> 16:07.748
[SPEAKER_02]: That I
16:08.875 --> 16:13.662
[SPEAKER_02]: I came out, I was like, okay, I need to listen to this album like quick and in a hurry.
16:13.922 --> 16:16.826
[SPEAKER_02]: That thought it was a great lead-off for that album.
16:17.868 --> 16:23.696
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if I love that album, but I really do like it.
16:24.757 --> 16:26.279
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't love it.
16:26.760 --> 16:36.093
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there's some stuff that is not my favorite, but I thought the song was a great lead-off for that album.
16:36.694 --> 16:37.515
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree.
16:37.833 --> 16:38.313
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree.
16:39.314 --> 16:44.399
[SPEAKER_00]: My number four also comes from actually my number is five, four, and three, I'll come from the same album.
16:46.021 --> 16:50.185
[SPEAKER_00]: So my number four was moonshine, which I don't think was a single.
16:52.067 --> 17:00.575
[SPEAKER_00]: But is, you know, one of the tracks on unorthodox youth box, it's got like a very 80s kind of like almost pop rock vibe to it.
17:01.916 --> 17:06.861
[SPEAKER_00]: Sounds kind of like, I don't know, maybe like a Phil Collins song or or something like that.
17:06.841 --> 17:13.016
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's just like, again, it's a vibe as a kid say.
17:14.159 --> 17:16.545
[SPEAKER_00]: That was the song, the kids still say that.
17:17.306 --> 17:21.577
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe, maybe the older kids say it's gradual in it.
17:22.780 --> 17:23.702
[SPEAKER_00]: But,
17:24.897 --> 17:30.145
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, when an orthodox jukebox came out, the song at number three was already a hit.
17:31.226 --> 17:35.773
[SPEAKER_00]: So I remember playing it through for the first time in moonshine was the one the song that stuck out the most for me.
17:35.793 --> 17:36.714
[SPEAKER_00]: Interesting.
17:36.734 --> 17:38.477
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
17:38.497 --> 17:40.740
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
17:40.760 --> 17:42.923
[SPEAKER_02]: Two of my top four.
17:44.692 --> 17:49.158
[SPEAKER_02]: are actually three of my top four from the same album.
17:50.079 --> 18:12.927
[SPEAKER_02]: And two of, no, I'm sorry, two of my top four, I was right, but the way that they sound and kind of the way that they are put together and the collaborations are very similar for my number two and my number, or my number four, my number one, the other side with BOB and I think is one of the,
18:13.379 --> 18:28.418
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe the secret tracks of that first album like I think it's like last album on the entire the last song on the entire album and it was like, oh, this is this is a really fun song like I love the whole
18:28.398 --> 18:57.983
[SPEAKER_02]: silo piece of it and he's just so much energy when when he sings like he raises the like he can take a song that is that's fine and then when he comes on it he just takes it to another level like that that should be his job we have a song we need you to just take it to that next level we can come into studio you can knock this thing out in half an hour and you're good like that's
18:58.064 --> 19:04.131
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, if someone ever uncancelled, Cilo, maybe that can be his job in the future.
19:04.732 --> 19:06.033
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's probably not going to happen.
19:09.317 --> 19:10.619
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe they make another outcast.
19:10.679 --> 19:12.061
[SPEAKER_00]: They make another outcast album.
19:12.861 --> 19:19.289
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, they can have goody mob come and do some features in Cilo, can kind of, they can interact that outcast can probably get away with that.
19:20.110 --> 19:24.375
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, my number three is locked out of heaven.
19:25.250 --> 19:52.152
[SPEAKER_00]: it is like I said earlier it's completely a rip off of the police like it sounds just like rock sand and can't stand losing you and all those old police songs and the police is one of my favorite bands so I think just based off that I love it but also I tried to sing a lot that I haven't had karaoke once and I am like I'm a big fan of karaoke I am you know on a scale I want to
19:52.132 --> 19:57.284
[SPEAKER_00]: Lock that heaven is impossible to sing because he's singing at the top of his range for the entire dams.
19:57.464 --> 19:59.188
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like beat it, actually.
19:59.228 --> 20:03.137
[SPEAKER_00]: Lock that heaven is basically a police song plus beat it.
20:04.433 --> 20:05.955
[SPEAKER_00]: That was also my number three, by the way.
20:06.456 --> 20:07.718
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, great minds think alike.
20:08.379 --> 20:11.543
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I don't think our top two are going to be the same, though.
20:11.783 --> 20:13.586
[SPEAKER_00]: They're definitely not going to be the same.
20:13.606 --> 20:21.277
[SPEAKER_02]: I have a very, I get in my feelings with these next two songs, which probably are why they are my top two.
20:21.377 --> 20:22.999
[SPEAKER_02]: But, all right, what's number two?
20:23.975 --> 20:47.805
[SPEAKER_00]: So the Silksonic album came out and then a few months later they reissued the Silksonic album with an extra song on it and that extra song is a song called Love's Train which was originally recorded by the band confunction in 1982 drew Hill remade it in the 90s and then Bruno and Andy
20:47.785 --> 21:16.527
[SPEAKER_00]: made recorded it as Silksonic and to me out of those three, the Silksonic version is the best version like the interplay between Bruno and Andy like again, just Bruno kind of like singing is butt off on that song and it's just like you know it's it's a cover and it is not a whole lot different from the original version but the voices involved I think kind of elevated to another level
21:16.878 --> 21:31.620
[SPEAKER_01]: Speaking of Anderson Pack was he or is he dating Mariah Carey that it's been alleged If so, what is the age difference between those two human beings?
21:36.187 --> 21:37.949
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm How old is Anderson Pack?
21:37.969 --> 21:42.516
[SPEAKER_02]: Look for however old Mariah is she looks great.
21:42.897 --> 21:44.539
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, Mariah got
21:44.806 --> 21:47.449
[SPEAKER_02]: She got some good jeans for her self.
21:48.911 --> 21:50.874
[SPEAKER_00]: So Anderson is older than we think he is.
21:51.354 --> 21:53.537
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, how old would you say Anderson Pack is?
21:54.358 --> 21:58.544
[SPEAKER_02]: Try to think of when I first heard of Anderson Pack over 10 years ago, right?
21:59.104 --> 22:00.366
[SPEAKER_02]: And when he first came on the scene.
22:00.787 --> 22:01.467
[SPEAKER_02]: Sounds about right.
22:02.288 --> 22:04.431
[SPEAKER_02]: So I would guess maybe mid 30s.
22:05.132 --> 22:05.553
[SPEAKER_02]: He is 39.
22:05.573 --> 22:08.276
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so yeah, a little bit older than I would have thought.
22:08.456 --> 22:12.822
[SPEAKER_02]: But I guess I hadn't, you know, if I was to really
22:12.970 --> 22:17.838
[SPEAKER_02]: If I was to guess without trying to do the math of when I first heard about it, I would have probably said like early 30s.
22:18.278 --> 22:19.220
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, he's a little.
22:19.240 --> 22:25.469
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, and, you know, I mean, granted that means there's a 17 year age difference between him and Mariah.
22:25.590 --> 22:26.531
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, come and Mariah.
22:26.872 --> 22:27.172
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
22:27.192 --> 22:27.573
[SPEAKER_02]: Hell yeah.
22:27.933 --> 22:28.254
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
22:28.274 --> 22:29.456
[SPEAKER_02]: Mariah's got a type, man.
22:29.976 --> 22:32.180
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
22:32.240 --> 22:33.662
[SPEAKER_02]: How many kids can it have?
22:36.241 --> 22:46.200
[SPEAKER_00]: More than the songs that are on all three Bruno Mars homes put together the cannons are going to be working until he's like 80 got it, you know, child support is a mm
22:47.159 --> 22:57.092
[SPEAKER_02]: Who are they gonna be able to pull out in the year 2038 on the mask singer who we've never seen on the mask singer?
22:57.633 --> 23:01.057
[SPEAKER_00]: It's gonna be people who are popular and it's gonna be like people from stranger things.
23:01.578 --> 23:14.955
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you're prior, those who fell off from stranger things who did not, who were not able to have another curtain, not be Brown probably, but like, you know, one of the, or it's gonna be someone like who people had forgotten like,
23:15.323 --> 23:19.129
[SPEAKER_02]: The dude who plays Bobby Brady is gonna come out and be like, did the mass singer.
23:19.990 --> 23:24.156
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, a dude who played Bobby Brady is 23, he's 12 years or now.
23:24.176 --> 23:31.046
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I don't want anybody to die, but he's going to be a very elderly human at that point.
23:31.307 --> 23:33.410
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I mean, they'll have somebody like, I'm trying to think.
23:34.251 --> 23:37.836
[SPEAKER_00]: You see somebody like Josh Hart, on like the nastier.
23:37.916 --> 23:38.097
[SPEAKER_02]: Sure.
23:39.439 --> 23:39.539
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
23:39.559 --> 23:45.027
[SPEAKER_02]: But he gives it away though, because my man's like six foot five.
23:45.513 --> 23:46.214
[SPEAKER_02]: That is fair.
23:49.077 --> 23:50.219
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that is hilarious.
23:50.519 --> 23:51.641
[SPEAKER_02]: Emon Shumpert.
23:53.223 --> 23:55.145
[SPEAKER_02]: You can't really have the hair up.
23:55.666 --> 23:56.687
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Emon Shumpert.
23:56.707 --> 23:58.489
[SPEAKER_02]: She on a tailor just shakes her fist.
23:59.851 --> 24:00.151
[SPEAKER_00]: What is it, TV?
24:00.171 --> 24:02.194
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Tiana's winning so hard right now.
24:02.254 --> 24:04.156
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think she has anything to shake her fist at.
24:04.396 --> 24:05.278
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, she's amazing.
24:05.878 --> 24:07.861
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, she did have a comment about Kanye.
24:08.281 --> 24:08.742
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you see it?
24:10.244 --> 24:10.925
[SPEAKER_00]: I read it.
24:11.265 --> 24:12.887
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, good for her.
24:13.964 --> 24:18.376
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, and, I mean, obviously you don't want to bite the hand that that said you.
24:18.898 --> 24:19.158
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
24:19.479 --> 24:23.249
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, you know, she that was a very, uh, what's the word I'm looking for?
24:24.052 --> 24:27.501
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, not political, uh,
24:29.759 --> 24:32.723
[SPEAKER_00]: She went right down the middle on that comment.
24:32.923 --> 24:33.904
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it was a bit, you know.
24:34.245 --> 24:37.509
[SPEAKER_02]: They asked her about after she won at the Golden Globes.
24:37.970 --> 24:40.112
[SPEAKER_02]: They asked her about her relationship with Kanye.
24:40.132 --> 24:49.364
[SPEAKER_02]: And she said, I don't have to agree with what he says to still appreciate him or whatever it was that what she used.
24:49.384 --> 24:50.626
[SPEAKER_02]: But, right, okay.
24:52.188 --> 24:59.057
[SPEAKER_02]: So number two for me, number two and number one,
24:59.678 --> 25:16.000
[SPEAKER_02]: Just the way you are, when that song came out, as we were anticipating the Bruno Mars album, I was like, okay, this is exactly what I was hoping that we would hear.
25:16.435 --> 25:42.561
[SPEAKER_02]: It was sort of when we talked about this kind of how he makes music that makes you think of other songs that you like and that song when it dropped I was almost like I've heard this before or I've heard something like this and I really liked it and thus I like this and I just really liked just the way you are from from jump street and whenever I think of
25:42.541 --> 25:47.868
[SPEAKER_02]: Bruno Mars, Bruno Mars, that's the song that I think of when it comes to it.
25:48.889 --> 25:49.790
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's a great song.
25:51.452 --> 25:52.654
[SPEAKER_00]: Did not make my top five.
25:53.915 --> 25:54.897
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, there's a bunch of songs.
25:54.917 --> 25:57.320
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that would have that kind of fell right under.
25:57.860 --> 26:06.611
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think a lot of his like big hicc singles when I was your man, you know, just the way you are grenade, like all those songs just kind of fall right under the top five.
26:06.651 --> 26:06.952
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
26:08.293 --> 26:09.415
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
26:09.515 --> 26:09.595
[UNKNOWN]: But,
26:10.165 --> 26:15.294
[SPEAKER_00]: For me, my favorite Bruno Marsong is actually a town funk.
26:15.895 --> 26:16.516
[SPEAKER_00]: There you go.
26:16.976 --> 26:21.224
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, it's kind of like, man, you throw that song on at a party.
26:21.744 --> 26:26.352
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody, I mean, I've certainly heard it played at enough weddings at this point.
26:27.614 --> 26:28.396
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that a ronson?
26:29.097 --> 26:31.060
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
26:31.647 --> 26:40.041
[SPEAKER_02]: Again, collaborating with people who are really smart, who are really successful, who are really good.
26:40.121 --> 26:42.144
[SPEAKER_02]: Like Bruno just makes really good choices.
26:42.465 --> 26:44.168
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he makes really good business decisions.
26:44.889 --> 26:51.019
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, like you want that party song that's going to be played for like generations to come the same way.
26:51.119 --> 26:55.927
[SPEAKER_00]: Like people are going to be playing don't stop to get enough until like the end of time.
26:56.889 --> 26:56.929
[UNKNOWN]: Or
26:58.090 --> 26:59.091
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't think of another.
26:59.132 --> 27:01.755
[SPEAKER_00]: But this is how we do it by Montel Jordan or something like that.
27:02.436 --> 27:12.371
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just, it cuts across everything, it cuts across every race, every age, every demographic is just like the perfect, like, pick me up, get up in dance kind of song.
27:12.671 --> 27:13.933
[SPEAKER_02]: What about return of the Mac?
27:13.953 --> 27:17.398
[SPEAKER_02]: Would you put return of the Mac in that same space?
27:17.682 --> 27:19.924
[SPEAKER_00]: Return to the Mac is a very divisive song.
27:20.745 --> 27:31.816
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, there are, there are lots of people myself included who love return to the Mac, and there are an equal amount of people who very strongly dislike return to the Mac.
27:32.076 --> 27:32.576
[SPEAKER_00]: And I get it.
27:34.458 --> 27:35.920
[SPEAKER_02]: But for me, never have another song.
27:36.700 --> 27:38.902
[SPEAKER_00]: He was big in the UK, and that's when it's from.
27:39.263 --> 27:40.304
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.
27:41.145 --> 27:44.668
[SPEAKER_00]: I, you know, when that song came out, I bought his album.
27:46.454 --> 27:51.463
[SPEAKER_00]: that really like nasal thing gets really tiring after a while, but there's a couple of joints on here.
27:52.424 --> 28:08.091
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it was almost like, like there are some artists from our youth that I would compare it to, it was like he was like the, uh, you know, that the UK version of, uh, Gerardo and Riko Swave, though,
28:08.763 --> 28:10.786
[SPEAKER_02]: way better than Rico Suave does.
28:10.826 --> 28:16.155
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, he wasn't, I mean, returning the Mac wasn't corny in the way Rico Suave was.
28:16.315 --> 28:19.039
[SPEAKER_00]: Like Rico Suave from Jump was obviously corny.
28:19.059 --> 28:23.446
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, returning the Mac was, I don't know, had kind of like a jam to it.
28:23.927 --> 28:29.656
[SPEAKER_00]: I think, you know, people kind of liked it as a song before it kind of took on this life of its own, it's a me and essentially.
28:29.876 --> 28:30.136
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
28:30.317 --> 28:30.557
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
28:31.338 --> 28:36.306
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, my number one is kind of take it back to B.O.B.
28:42.952 --> 28:48.119
[SPEAKER_02]: if I want to get reminiscing like about that time frame, that's a song for me.
28:48.579 --> 28:55.088
[SPEAKER_02]: And like, look, there's going to be some people who kind of disqualify anything, B.O.B.
28:55.148 --> 28:55.529
[SPEAKER_02]: related.
28:55.729 --> 29:09.347
[SPEAKER_02]: I will just plead naive a tape, because I don't really know what he's been, I'm sure he's done, you know, I think he even had some issues, maybe with substances or whatever, you know, I don't, his,
29:09.327 --> 29:14.953
[SPEAKER_02]: some of the things that he said have been awful and, you know, it is what it is, but I don't follow him in that way.
29:15.393 --> 29:19.898
[SPEAKER_02]: I kind of stick to this timeframe and I love that song.
29:20.338 --> 29:24.382
[SPEAKER_02]: When that song was out, that made me go like, B.O.B.
29:24.422 --> 29:27.806
[SPEAKER_02]: and Bruno Mars, they are going to have staying power.
29:28.206 --> 29:31.029
[SPEAKER_02]: And one of them did, the other one didn't.
29:31.129 --> 29:32.170
[SPEAKER_02]: I was 50%.
29:32.591 --> 29:33.832
[SPEAKER_02]: But I just, B.O.B.
29:33.892 --> 29:37.596
[SPEAKER_02]: if we could just redo his career again and keep him,
29:37.576 --> 29:38.865
[SPEAKER_02]: off of the crazy pills.
29:39.006 --> 29:40.758
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I think he would have been something.
29:40.798 --> 29:43.215
[SPEAKER_02]: But hey, that them are the breaks, man.
29:43.668 --> 29:44.189
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, man.
29:44.269 --> 29:50.679
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm actually reading some stuff about him and he's just like he's a fucking lunitoon.
29:51.179 --> 29:51.740
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
29:52.682 --> 29:53.763
[SPEAKER_00]: Oops said that for.
29:54.284 --> 29:59.132
[SPEAKER_00]: But you know, that song is still a heater.
29:59.773 --> 30:00.113
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
30:00.133 --> 30:00.594
[SPEAKER_02]: It's great.
30:01.155 --> 30:01.375
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
30:01.515 --> 30:08.646
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's just, you know, again, going back to that time for him, it can put me in that place where, you know, I will say like,
30:08.626 --> 30:24.315
[SPEAKER_02]: 2010's 2015, 2020's music is not really going to take me back to those places, but that song can take me back to that to I'm frame and I go, okay, this is one of them.
30:24.455 --> 30:25.877
[SPEAKER_01]: So right on.
30:26.599 --> 30:27.360
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, man.
30:28.522 --> 30:29.743
[SPEAKER_02]: So we did it.
30:30.084 --> 30:30.544
[SPEAKER_02]: We got it.
30:30.624 --> 30:42.819
[SPEAKER_02]: We got it done and we'll uh, you know, if we were able to do so, I would play everyone out of this episode with Versace on the floor, but unfortunately, unfortunately not, we cannot.
30:43.099 --> 30:46.022
[SPEAKER_02]: So we don't want, we don't want copyright strikes.
30:46.183 --> 30:48.665
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll get sued just like Bruno from Uptown Fun.
30:50.027 --> 30:56.014
[SPEAKER_02]: So all right, that's it from here.
