Speaker 1 (00:01):
I welcome to episode to twenty. We'll talk to Lauren
Joe Black from Country Now dot Com. Five things to
look forward to in We'll talk a little bitbout the
Golden Globes this week, and Mike d has a movie
podcast called Mike D's Movie Podcasts, what it called Mike Movie,
Mike's Movie Podcast, Movie, Mike's Movie Podcast. I did want
to start with this article I saw from Ultimate Guitar.
(00:24):
They have a list of songs with mistakes that they
didn't take out of the recording. So I love when
people leave things in, and a lot of times we go, man,
that really that was a great idea to leave character,
and sometimes they're like, oh, yeah, we didn't hear it,
or sometimes they were like, we had no other option
but to leave it in because the take was so good,
especially with old music, because they all have to get
(00:45):
in the room at the same time and record and
sometimes it's just live and that's what they happen. It's
like they all have to Yeah. So these are seven
mistakes not edited out, and we'll start with the song
here Black Country Woman from Led Zeppelin. Here's the first song,
should we? So they were recording at a house and
just as they started, a plane flew over. You can
(01:07):
hear the plane flying over right there. So play that again,
and so Robert Plant going, I leave it. Here you
go again, not even yet, not leave it. I'll leave it.
But if you didn't know, and you can let it
(01:28):
play for a minute, if you didn't know, you would
think that was part of the recording on purpose, because
it does sound cool and my guys hanging out and like,
who cares. But they all had to get in the
same room and play instruments at the same time. Back then,
they weren't really tracking like they do now. Turn that
up him, listen mad cool. The next up is rock
(01:52):
Sand from the Police. At the beginning, you can hear
a cluster of keyboard notes, followed by Sting's laugh. He
accidentally sat on the keyboard. Here's the song. It's four
seconds in. It fits so well that it could have
been intentional, but it wasn't. Here you go, that's funny.
(02:14):
That's very quick. So you here we go, and we'll
do it again. Here we go. Sting sat on the
keyboard and that's what this is. Go ahead, that's funny,
he laughs. That laugh is in the song Wow Rocks
(02:41):
it's pretty cool. Next up is wish you hear from
Pink Floyd. So David go Moore coughs and can be
heard breathing right before the main guitar comes in. Now,
the rumor is that he couldn't hold in a cough
because he smoked so much, and he was so upset
when heard the final take that he quits ooking cold
turkey the next day. So you can start the song
(03:03):
now because it's like twenty seven seconds. That was a cough.
Sniffle wet to that cough. So again it just sounds
like it's part of the song here played again, funny
(03:31):
wish you were here the other version? Would they like
take that part out? They are because it's like on
one channel of the track, So there's another version where
that channel is just muted. That's interesting. Uh. I saw
her again from the Moms and papas. They did a
lot of layered vocals, but the repeated I saw her.
(03:53):
I saw her at the beginning of the third verse.
There was a mistake in the editing. They liked it,
so they kept it in so that first I saw
her as an accident. He came in early, he goes,
I saw her I saw her again. The first one
(04:16):
is an accident. So the song Lou LOUI, Oh yeah,
we gotta go thought by the Kingsman, someone drops an
F bomb in the background about about a minute into
the song, supposedly because the vocalist came into early. Now
(04:38):
this is the song. If you're going through listed on
your own, uh streaming, the F bombs about fifty four
seconds in, you can barely hear it, and you wouldn't
know as the F four were that being told. But
now that you know, I don't even know if I
played on the radio, now that I know, because you know,
remind me, let's talk about the fard after this. But
here we go that. So in the back you're the
(05:06):
guy go stop right there. If you play that again,
now that you heard it, listen again, And it's because
the vocalist came in a bit too early. Here you
go right there. Yeah. So in poker Face, I think
(05:29):
from Lady Gaga, which isn't on this thing here, it
wasn't an accident, but didn't it leave the effort in
on purpose? And there's only one station to ever catch it? Yeah,
because she keeps saying poker face, poker face and then
there's like one instance where she says the word her
face right, and they left it in and ready just
played it. Nobody ever knew. I remember people mentioning that,
but I was like, oh, you're just hearing that, but
apparently was true. Here is number six from one of
(05:50):
my favorite bands of all time, favorite artists Been Folds
five Stephen's Last Night in Talents name of the song.
They were recording it in a house and towards the
end of the song you can hear a phone ringing,
but since it sounded like a fit, they left it in.
It's like two fifty six into the song. Here you
go last night and so that phones in the background,
(06:15):
it goes it's when it dropped. Yea, So hear it
in the more time last night. That's pretty funny. Look,
it's really good. It sounds like it fits because all
(06:37):
his drums and piano sounds like a keyboard, almost like
keep playing. It sounds like more. Mayhem added one more.
Here is bar lights from Whiskey Town. So Ryan Adams
is in Whiskeytown. Ryan Adams forgot his line, started laughing,
Caitlyn Carrey started laughing, and Ryan broke a string all
in one bad moment and they still use that take.
(06:58):
Now it's two five into the song. As the song
fades out, he explains what happened. So and there's an
F word and just here you go. Look, that won't
make you mad. That won't make you mad, that won't
make Here comes the explanation somewhere that did. It doesn't
(08:03):
have a very end like go, hey, there you go
broken string Right after that happened, you believe that I
forgot the line, started laughing and then my string broke.
All right, I'm going to the bar. So those are
(08:25):
the seven things. It's from Ultimate Guitar Solid article. Loved it.
I thought it was so good. Um and since where
a music nerd podcast? Basically it gets no more music
nerdy than that. Some of them songs that aren't even singles,
they're just songs on records somewhere. So um yeah, there
you go. On the phone now Lauren Joe Black from
(08:47):
Country Now dot com and wandered to bring you on
to talk about five things to look forward to in
By the way, Lauren, what do your friends call you?
Do they call you? Lauren? Lauren Joe? What do they
what do they call you? Okay, that's what I lawresen
to Lauren in like my World, So sometimes I'm Lauren Joe,
but mostly it's Laurence at Lauren Joe Black on Instagram.
(09:08):
By the way, and Lauren has been covering country music
since two thousand eight or so, Yes, because you started
the website country Music is Love way back in the day.
Is that right, Yeah, in two thousand eight. It's crazy
that you say that, because I was just thinking it
will be twelve years that I've been covering country music
this year, and then you sold that to a record
(09:30):
label and they changed the name of it. Was my
story right on this and it's all kind of coming
back to me now. Yeah. So I sold it to
a record label in Nashville and I was the editor there.
Um we rebranded it to Sounds like Nashville and I
was the editor there for a couple of years. And
then in two thousand nineteen, I launched a new website,
(09:52):
which is Country Now and I'm loving it and the
response has been really great and excited to be working
on a it again this year, so check her out
and check out country now dot com. Five things to
look forward to what is and let's go in reverse order.
So five are these in order for you? Or no?
Are they just at random? Five? I just did a
(10:13):
random Okay, so we'll just do number one. What's the
first thing we're looking forward to? Well, I think for
me and a lot of country fans, it's just seeing
Luke Combs continue to skyrocket to the top. I mean,
he's already at the top of his game, and I
think that it will just continue in Um. I mean,
he's got what seven number ones, He dominated all the
(10:35):
awards shows, and I think it's really good for country music.
I feel like he's just your normal guy and people
can relate to him because of that, and I think
this year will continue to see him rise to the top.
And my bet is which you may agree, Um, we'll
probably see an Entertainer of the Year nomination on the horizon,
(10:55):
if not, you know, for the a c m S,
potentially the CMAZ later this year. You know, I was
talking about on air, I was doing a look into
the crystal ball and I actually predicted Luke Combs would
win Entertainer of the Year at the c MAS this
year and the same page there, and I know it's
it's rare for someone to come in never be nominated
and then just scoop up the wind. But it's almost
(11:18):
undeniable because it sells everything. No, he sells everything, tickets
and music. Yeah, And a couple of years ago, if
you said Luke, you know, everybody would just think Luke Brian.
You could just say it's Luke. But now you know
there's two Lukes, and you know it's kind of like
they're both at the top. But I think Luke Combs
(11:38):
is just going to take that edge this year and
we'll see, uh, a big, big year for him. Who
do you think got the bigger shaft at the c
MAS this year? Did you think that Carrie not winning
it or Luke Brian not being nominated was the bigger upset? Um,
that's a tough one, but I'm gonna have to go
with Carrie not winning. I just think that she did
(11:59):
everything right, Like she checked off all the boxes this year.
And um, you know, Luke music wise, like it's been
a while since we've had an album. Um, you know,
his touring is kind of cut back a little bit.
But I mean Carrie did everything and you know she's
at the Opry, she's you know, on all these national shows.
(12:19):
She did her massive tour, so I definitely would have
to say carry on that one, and they both were
big upsets that that it didn't happen. Now, I would
actually go the other way because you know, with Eric Church,
if he didn't want or Garth one, it's hard to
argue because everyone has their super strength. But with Luke Brian,
he had. He didn't put out a record, it's been
a while, but he did have a bunch of number ones,
(12:41):
and yes he did scale back touring. But two things happened.
One he got on a primetime television show, which kind
of raises his entertainer profile more than just a country artist.
I felt like him not being nominated. Again, there's not
a wrong answer, and I feel like both of them
were disappointments, but I feel like Luke Brian not being
nominated did was a shocker because he is the biggest
(13:03):
thing in contemporary country music right now. Yeah, I mean,
I definitely see your point because also when you hear
Entertainer of the Year, you immediately think, well, i've show,
but it actually is a lot of things that play
into that. It's their live show, but also you know
their presence as a whole, So being on a national
television show like American Idol of course is a big one.
So I do see your point there. For sure. That's
(13:24):
interesting that you interpret Entertainer of the Year because, and
this is the controversy or or just a debate, what
does that mean. I don't see Entertainer of the Year
as a live music thing. I see it as a
total three sixty like what do you add from all
the different angles? Now I'm not right, but it just
goes to show that two people who both work in
the industry can have a different interpretation on what Entertainer
(13:48):
of the Year means. And that's why people can be
disappointed that their person didn't win, because maybe they did
check the boxes that they thought Entertainer of the Year,
but maybe not the others. Right, Yeah, I definitely see that,
And I think fans, like from an outside, outside perspective,
really think about being an entertainer, you know, just their
literal live show. If that's the case, if it is
(14:10):
about a live show, then they got it right. And
I've seen everybody perform. Nobody outperforms Garth live and sells
more arenas than Garth in a row. So again, there
wasn't a wrong answer, but I felt like Luke not
being nominated for the c m A Award and Carrie
not winning. We're both general disappointments with the public. So
I wonder where you fell. And you know what, we disagree,
(14:31):
but I still like you, Mike. I still like her,
all right, We're still we don't have to dislike somebody
because we disagree. Number four, Lauren on the five things
look forward to, Well, I think it's a good segue.
So CMAS. I mean, this is a big year for
the CMA Awards because Carrie just announced that she's stepping
down from hosting after twelve years. And of course the
(14:53):
eleven years UM she was with Brad. This past year
she hosted with Reba and Dolly Parton, and you know,
it's it's a big thing. I think to think about, Um,
who's gonna host and how are they going to make
the show really big? Because Carry brought a lot of
star power to the show, definitely, rebut and Dolly did
this year. UM, and a lot of people are looking
(15:14):
at Thomas Rtt and Kelsey Ballerini. You know, they're thinking, hey,
maybe they'll be the next duo. They kind of UM
had a little training session as you could say with
the c m A Fest hosting um, which you did
to Bobby. So I mean, I don't know if your
calendar is open in early November, but maybe you should
leave it open because you could be a good contender
(15:35):
for that too. But I think this year the c
m A Awards will um, you know, definitely have to
They'll have to be big because they're going to have
to keep their audience and keep people watching without Carrie
and Brad. I'm gonna not comment on this just from
my own personal because I know too much that's happening
right now, and I'll say that the tr and Kelsey stuff,
people are just walking down the wrong track with that.
That's right now, it's not even in the conversation. I
(15:58):
don't think that. I don't think that they to do it.
I don't think I think they would, But it's not
going that direction right now. Things could change, well, you know,
some people think that when you're a host, it kind
of puts like a peg on you that you just
don't win anymore. And a lot of people have said
that about Carrie, you know, for whatever reason. But um, yeah,
I don't know. I mean that could make sense, like
(16:19):
if wherever they're out in their career if they didn't
want to do it. But now you really have me thinking, well,
here's the thing, is that anyone that goes into that
M I'm just walking on. I'll talk a lot. I
just know too. But um, here's what I'll say is
that anyone that goes into that, if they somewhat look
like Carrying Brad, They're going to be compared exactly to
(16:41):
Carry and Brad. And the last thing I would want
to be as another male and female artist hopping up
after Carrying Brad have done it for eleven or twelve years,
because it's gonna be like and we'll use them for
an example. And I will use them a example because
they're both friends of mine, t R and Kelsey. How
do they do compared to Carry and Brad? That is
not what you want. And you never want to follow
the guy. You want to follow the guy who follows
(17:03):
the guy. Now, Carrie had a deal with Dolly and
and Reba, and I'll say this too, I just get
myself in trouble. Carry and I share an agent um
which has nothing to do with C. M. A. Wards.
But I do know about that. There was only nothing
personal with Carrie leaving, she just felt like she had
done it all, and I don't think she wanted to
be stunt casted again with someone else, meaning she wasn't
(17:27):
She's not gonna hang it out for five or six
more years probably doing it. It'll only be a couple,
and I don't think she wanted to go through the
novelty of them putting somebody new with her every year.
So I'm gonna end on this note that I don't
think it'll be another guy girl pair of artists at
this point right now, because I don't think they wanted
to look like junior varsity care Carrie and Brad. Yes,
(17:49):
they don't want it to look like junior varsity carry
and Brad. I will say that, and I will now
walk away from this, thank you. But it's it's a
great people people are talking about and we'll stand by. Okay,
number what's I think I'm with the wrong orlder at
one than four? So now let's do two or what's
what's next up? Okay, so the next you know, the
(18:10):
female conversation. We've had the female conversation for years, but
I'm just gonna take a little bit of a twist
on it because you know, everyone wants female to get
more airplay, which I agree, but I'm thinking this is
just gonna be a really great year to look forward
to for great music coming from amazing artist to our female. Um,
and I was thinking about you know, we know Carly
(18:31):
Pierce has a record coming, Kelsey Ballerini will be announcing
her as any day, Lindsay l Ingrid Andrews, possibly something
from Gabby Barrett. And another one that which is huge
is the Dixie Chicks. So I think this is gonna
be a really really great year for females and um,
hopefully that will translate to airplay. But I mean, from
what I've heard of Carly's album, it's gonna be amazing.
(18:54):
And I mean all these ladies, I think it's just
going to be really really good. I would love a
Dixie Chicks album because like they just came back and said, hey,
take us or leave us, but we're country again and
here we are. I would love it. I would support
it so much. I've never not supported the Dixie Chicks.
I would just love it. And uh and uh, Kelsey
(19:14):
and I are good friends. I I don't listen to
many artists music before they put it out but I'll
say this, Kelsey and I've been been friends, and she
told me before she had a record deal, and and
so I do, well, we'll listen to things. And I
don't think she's announced, but she has some really cool
collapse on her record that are coming up that I've
been able to hear. Um, So the Kelsey stopps exciting
to me. Obviously, the Lindsay record is gonna be cool,
(19:35):
but also to me, I think there's a lot of
songs that aren't good about me. I think this is
the angry album about me, um, because the last time
was good about me. This album is gonna be her
kind of probably getting some of her frustration out about
our relationship. So as much as I think it's gonna
be great because Dan Help is producing it, who produced
Kane Brown, who produces basically everybody, they're gonna be a
great record, but one that I'm a little nervous about. UM,
(19:58):
and the and the Gabby Barrett stuff will be interesting too,
So I'm with you on most of that there. Um.
You know, I was talking on my show this morning
about uh female artists and how a revolution isn't good
an evolution is, and where a lot of these groups
will pressure programmers or playlist ers to go just put
(20:21):
a bunch of females in there, which, being an advocate
like I am, I've always said that's the absolute worst
thing to do, because what what what will happen and
I've seen happen is some of these pro And I
don't have a dog in this fight. I don't care
really what radio plays. I play what I want to play.
Sometimes I just let the tested songs play. But you
can play any songs around me I and be okay.
I get hired to talk. But and that's also why
I can be an advocate for certain kinds of music,
(20:43):
because I'm really not attached to anything specifically. But I've
seen in instances where they have taken just female records
and go okay, we're gonna slam lem up, and they
let them run for eight or nine or ten weeks,
and they don't get the research back because they haven't
been organically grown and haven't spent time with the records
on the radio. And then they go, we told you
it wasn't good, which isn't fair also to that female
artist because it didn't get to come up the same
(21:06):
slow system getting uh minor research at the beginning. You know,
if it didn't come back good, it was okay. They
were still going to grow it. So for a lot
of these programmers that are just throwing females in the mix, Like,
I love the idea of it, but it's not good
for long term because as soon as you throw something
in and it doesn't test well, they go, we told
you what did you want from us? We tried, it
(21:26):
didn't work. So I do love that we're seeing a
lot of A and R teams spend more time recruiting
developing female artists because that's where it starts. More record
labels are spending time, uh, nurturing these artists that Gabby
Barrett's a great example of that. They didn't just roll
out with a big album and stay here, let's go.
They spent time with our writing songs, putting out a song,
(21:47):
putting out a second song. So I'm in the camp
of it should have taken a few years and now
we're really getting ready to go, and and and ready
in prime for a bunch of these female artists to
grow even further. And Ingrid Andrews is stoppable train like
she is probably my favorite new artist, so Um, I
know I jumped in a lot of that of yours. Lauren,
(22:09):
Oh no, I love it. I love to hear your thoughts.
I mean I did. I think it's just going to
be incredible. And what what I think is amazing too,
is just I think that they're making really great music.
Like before people would say, well, the music isn't good,
but this is really good music. It just needs to
be heard. Next up, let's say, let's just call us one,
number four, number four or five. Okay, so, um, let's
(22:31):
see that. I'm just gonna just do a generic. This
is the tour, the year of tours. I mean, everyone
is headlining. The lineups are stacked. Um, fans just better
save their money or be really picky and choosy of
what they go see. Um. I mean, so far there's
been major tour announcements from Luke Coombs, Kenny Jesny, Miranda Lambert,
(22:53):
Jason Aldan, Thomas Rhett, and then also some of the
legendary artists like Rebuzz going back on the Road and
Alan Jackson. And I just think it's just such a
great time, um, you know, to get out go see
a show. And like I said, these lineups are stacked
like the Jason al Dean tour is Morgan Wallen and
Riley Green and Jason Aldean, like that is a good lineup. Um,
(23:15):
so fans are definitely getting their money's worth when they're
going to see these shows. And as a fan of
country music myself, I'm excited to go see them too.
The shows are great. Here's the frustration is that tickets
are so expensive, and these artists are doing a great
job of making the shows really pop, and they're they're
using a lot of technology to make the shows cooler.
(23:37):
They're making it more of a three sixty experience a
lot of times. But you're right, if you don't save
your money, you get like one or two shows a year,
and it's it's kind of the old Um, what do
you want a really great, amazing show or a cheaper
ticket because they don't come together. You're not gonna get
a show where they spend a bunch of money on
the show and you pay ten bucks. So it is there,
and I think that more amazing shows there are the
(24:01):
better just for fans. They're more to choose from. But tickets, man,
they are really getting up there, especially if you want
something on the floor or mid level, they're like a
hundred bucks apiece. Yeah, and especially if you want to
go to Vegas, like these Vegas shows, Crazy Brooks and Done,
Shania Twain, Keith Urban, they're all out in Vegas this year,
(24:23):
and those are very pricey. Yeah, but I'll also say this,
and again, Laurena, we have an advantage because we're in
the industry. We don't have to pay for tickets anymore. Right,
But you know, yeah, spoiled. I grew up broke though,
so I'm always watching money. And I went to Riba
and Brooks and Dune in Vegas and it wouldn't matter
what that ticket cost. That's a once in a lifetime
(24:43):
kind of thing. That was really an amazing show. And
so that's one of those where I'm like, man, if
you got to save up to go to that show
and you love them, you should go to that show
if you love them. Um, So all right, and give
me the last one of the five things, Lauren. Alright,
So this is just this is my personal favorite. It's
just I feel like the past couple of years we've
seen this resurgence of a traditional like nineties country sound.
(25:05):
We're getting away from like the bro country sounds too.
Artists leading the pack of this are you know, John Party,
Riley Green, Luke Hoombs again, Morgan Wallen, Um and even
Carly Pierce I think kind of has that, like especially Um.
Her latest single I Hope You're Happy Now kind of
has a more throwback five. But personally I love nineties
country and I think that just this leaning toward that
(25:29):
throwback sound is really cool and I think we're going
to keep seeing that. How do you feel about Rascal
Flats breaking up? Now? Okay, so yeah, that was breaking
news this morning as I was trying to get out
the door to take my kids to school, And honestly,
I have to admit I kind of saw it coming. Um.
I had heard that there was some they weren't re
(25:49):
signed to their contract at their record label this fall,
and so I kind of thought something like this was coming. Um,
And I think they're going out on a good note.
I mean, twenty years, it's a long time to be together.
But again, I'm not surprised. I kind of think when
Dan and Shay started to get popular, which now they're
just megastars, I kind of feel like they've filled that
(26:12):
place for Rascal Flats, Like I hate to say that
there's only one place for someone to sort of sound
like that, But I don't know how you feel about it,
but that's kind of how I feel. And then since then,
we've kind of seen like a decline of Rascal Flats
popularity on the radio. Um, but I mean, I love
them and I think that they're especially their older music is,
you know, something what I grew up listening to in
(26:34):
college in high school, So I don't always have a
little special place in my heart. But I can't say
I was very surprised. Are you saying that was in
fighting with the guys? Is that what I'm hearing you saying?
What are you saying there was fighting with the three guys?
Are you saying that? I don't think that there was fighting,
And I just I just think that maybe they were
just kind of already. I mean, when you do something
like if you go to a job every day for
(26:55):
twenty years, you know, maybe you kind of get sick
of it. I don't know, I love my job so much,
so I don't look at it as a as a
job that I get sick of. But maybe it just
kind of became they felt like they did what they
could do and they're going to move on. But I
mean I've seen a couple of people joke online like
Rascal Flats Reunion Tour, you know. So, I mean, who knows,
(27:18):
maybe they'll get back together in a couple of years
and we can relive all those hits together. But I
just had a feeling it was coming. I definitely don't
think they were fighting. I was making a joke with that.
And also I know a couple of them pretty well.
I think you're onto the They have a lot of
other interests right now. I think that you know, Jay
has got his own record label going. He's spending a
(27:38):
lot of time doing that, developing artists. Gary's target hunting
and building a moving company. Uh. And so yeah, they've
they've I think they've run their course at their label,
and you know what, they will reunite in a few
years and they'll make a much more money. And they
got a bunch of money. If you're not loving it
in your set, why would you keep going? Yeah, I agree,
(27:59):
I mean they can walk away from it and know that,
you know, they're leaving out on a high note. Good

All right by Lauren. By So, I want to take
a second talk about the Golden Globes because Mike has
(29:03):
a podcast now you can check out called Movie Mike's
Movie Podcast. Basically you just type in movie Mike and
you can hear him talk about his favorite movies, some
movie history I know in a recent episode talking about
Adam Sandler in doing dopey comedies, and doing serious work.
You talked about highest paid movies, so check out his podcast.
(29:23):
And because of that, and I watched a little bit
of the Golden Globes. With any award show, unless I
know the people, I kind of lose interest quickly. And
it's the weirdest one. It is because I mean, they're
sitting around here and it's it's kind of weird. We'll
start with the big ones here and Best Motion Picture Drama.
The big one. It was nineteen seventeen, The Irishman Joker,
(29:45):
Marriage Story and Two Popes. Now I did see The
Irishman Joker and the Two Popes? Did you see all
five of them? I haven't seen the Two Popes? And
nineteen seventeen hasn't had a full release yet. It comes
out Friday. Okay, So, but you saw a marriage story?
Did you like it? I like going a lot, but
I like it. I think he would is very dramatic
and it's real. Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver just have
(30:07):
skipped over it so many times because I'm like, I
haven't been divorced. I haven't either, but I'm also not catholic.
Did you didn't watch Two Pokes and loved it? And
this it's um nonfiction. With some fiction. I would watch
the movie and then google what's real and what is
it because they don't hide what they're not making a
(30:28):
movie and then getting caught not telling the truth. But
they also intersplice some real the Pope because it's the story,
because what happened to Pope Benedict stepped down and Pope
Francis took over, and they didn't like each other, especially
from the beginning. Pope Francis like, take me out of
the running, and Bennedett got it. And then when Bennedict
was like, I gotta step down, a lot of the
sexual abuse stuff was going on. There's a lot going on,
(30:50):
and that's not why I said he stepped down, but
you know, you can read about it. Pope Francis was like,
I don't want to be the Pope. I don't I
don't think I deserve you the pope, and they made
him the pope. Crazy story great. I love the two popes.
It's a lot of talking back and forth and couldn't
be seen as boring if you're not dialed in and
like that. I'm not Catholic, so it wasn't that for me.
(31:10):
But I thought it was really good. Anthony Hopkins plays
the Pope Benedict's awesome. Yeah, um so okay, Marriage Story.
Give it out of five stars. Um, i'd say four
to five. Two Popes, I give it four out of five.
The Joker, I give a five out of five great
and give it four out of five is good. It
(31:30):
was real good to me, it wasn't great. Did we
watch it together? Okay, the Irishman, that's a three and
a half, very long. I give it four. I would
almost go to four and a half. But I did
watch it in two parts. And I love movies that
have history in it and I can learn because I
(31:53):
didn't know if people were I didn't know either. Yeah,
because the main character, not the guy who was doing
the killing, but the Jimmy Hoffa. I don't know any
about Jimmy happen now I do. He led the team stores,
he led the union, was also doing mob stuff. Um.
But but I like all these that I've seen. I
liked it one. Yeah that's crazy, and I haven't seen it.
(32:16):
You haven't seen it. It's a warm movie, like all
in one continuous shot World War One. Yeah, they shot
the holding one shot the whole movie, the whole movie.
I mean, I think they like found a way to
edit it together, but it's you never see a cut away,
so the whole thing is just one continuous shot. That's cool.
I wonder when the whole movie will be made with
the iPhone. I've had that idea, like like Apple will
(32:37):
pay for movies to be shot with with iPhone vertically.
I would love it, and not even just vertically, just
shoot a sideways. But they can just say we shot
the whole movie on Apple Plus with iPhones. People have
done that with music videos, but I haven't seen anything
with movies yet. Best Performance by an Actress an emotion picture. Um.
(32:57):
The winner was renee Zelwigger for Judy. Yeah, she one
and like sixteen years? Have you seen it? Is it out? Yeah?
I haven't seen a boy Judy Garland? Right? Yeah? Did
you see any of these? Have you seen a little one? Women?
And I taught my list to see, but I haven't
seen it yet. I'm gonna wait for your review on that.
I think it would be good. Everybody loves it that's
seen it, yeah, Um, Soul Johanson and Merrit Story didn't.
(33:20):
Cynthia Rebo and Harriet didn't. Win and Charlie Stare on
a bomb show. What you tried to go see but
it was sold out? I ended up to get to
see it, but I had in a weird seat. What
do you think It's hard to like that movie because
what it's about. Yeah, and I didn't think it was
done particularly well. Well, I didn't love it. No acting
is really good, but just the way they set it up,
it could have been better. Best performance by an actor
(33:41):
Joaquin Phoenix and Joker one. I have no problem with that.
He was great, and especially for what he was trying
to do. I feel like he nailed what he was
trying to nail. Uh. Jonathan Price from the two popes
who played Pope Francis look just like him too, just
like him? Adam Driving Merrit story didn't win Antonio Banderia's
Painting Glory Christian Bale Ford versus for Ari. Did you
see that one? Yeah? Did you like it? It's good?
(34:02):
I had a friend that saw it instead. It was
just fantastic. I don't I have no interest, but maybe
I should. I think you would like it, yea, But yeah,
Walking Phoenix for Joker. Everybody stood up and clapped in
gave a standing ovation except for Beyonce. Did you see that?
It sort of follow up as to why, and she
didn't make a statement why. They were just speculating Best
Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy. Your nominees were Dolomite is
(34:24):
My Name, which I see on my Netflix all the
time with Eddie Murphy and it's based on a real story.
I didn't have to watch some of these movies. It
pops up and I'm like, I have to get rid
of the because it's on Netflix. It sucks. Right after
I have to get they're putting out good movies now
Jojo Rabbit. Do you know what that is? It's a
like a comedy with like Nazis Knives Out. You saw that.
(34:50):
I haven't seen it. Oh yeah, I thought you went
to see Knives Now once part of Time in Hollywood
and Rocket Man once Part Time in Hollywood. One. I
thought it was pretty good. I love that one law
it's three hours three long. I thought Brad Pitt was
great in it, probably the start. Yeah, yeah, I thought
his character allowed you to like him more. I don't
(35:12):
know who's acting was better, because they they were both
playing these characters. But I thought Brad Pitt's character was
such a likable, hard working, kind of fun guy who's
just appreciated being there. So I thought his character was
built to like him more. But yeah, it was great.
He was great. I liked a movie. It was just
I watched that one in once one setting though, were
the irishman I split into. Maybe I would have liked
(35:33):
once a Part of Time in Hollywood if I watched
it in two parts. But I liked it. And Charles
Manson's in that for a second, and the hippie girls
Hot or Not had armpit hair. Did you notice that? Yeah?
Best performance by an actress in a motion picture of
musical comedy Aquafina. That's her name? That like the Water? Yeah,
(35:54):
she named herself after the water. Huh, good for her.
Did you ever see a farewell? Best performance by an actor?
Tarn Eagerton and rocket maner to say his name? Do
you like rocket Man? No? I didn't watch it because
everybody was like, it kind of sucks because it wasn't
and they were comparing it to Freddie Markeury movie. It
came out like what it was like the next big
(36:15):
biopick after that, and I didn't even like it. Best
performance by an actor and supporting role Brad Pitt Wins.
One time in Hollywood we talked about that music from
was from the Joker. I dont see the guy's name.
I thought there was. I try to wipe off the
dirt on the screen. But his name just has a
lot of it has a weird, weird accenting accents over them. Best. Okay,
(36:36):
let's get to some the television stuff. Your television limited
series Catch twenty two, Chernobyl, The Loudest Voice, unbelievable Listen.
Chernobyl was great. Did you ever watch Chernobyl? Like TV
shows where I started to dial in and go, man,
this is my spe I'm gonna do Bobby's TV Bobby Podcast.
Chernobyl was great and true. I love true. I like
to be entertained and learned at the same time, because
(36:58):
even if I'm not super entertained and I'm still learning
a fel like, I'm still in And even if it
just gives me two roads to enjoy, and if one
of them falls off a little bit, it's like the
two Popes. Some of it is a bit fictional, but
some loly I'm entertaining. I'm still in and even if
it's if it's true and I'm not as entertained. I'm like, oh,
but I'm learning, I'm still in or catching I love
the Two Roads or walk Down. Um. Michelle Williams wins
(37:21):
Best Director of from nineteen seventeen. I'm just looking at it.
I don't care about this other stuff, you know. Best
Original Song I'm Gonna Love Me Again from Rocket Man.
I don't know what that is. Best Television Series, Fleetbag
one again. I saw The Marvelous mist Masal nominated it
and I started that, except I started in season three.
Just pushed play. I'm like, I'm finally gonna watch it,
(37:43):
and I pushed play and watch two episodes. I was like,
I don't get it. I'm lost. They kind of started
in a weird place. And then I was telling my friend.
I was like, how did you like the show? Because
she's like opening for this and he's like, no, dude,
you started season Um. Best Screenplay Quentin Tarantino for Once
upon a Time in Hollywood. I thought his speech was
funny because he was like, well, on paraphrase, I don't
(38:03):
know who to thin because I wrote it all myself.
Very awkward guy. Um, there you go. Anything you'd like
to say about the oscars um but yeah, the nomination
was coming out of the Golden Globes. I'm sorry and clothes.
People always say that they like predict like or like
an indicator who's gonna win an oscar and be nominated?
But I think it's just set up so differently that
(38:24):
I'm curious to see. Wouldn't come out next week Who'll
be nominated? And Ricky gervass Is opening monologue. I thought
it was great. He had a great line about him
Leonardo DiCaprio about him going to the premiere of Once
U final time in Hollywood and by the time it
was over, his day was too old for him. He went.
After that, I thought, too, where he goes, don't make
(38:44):
you political speeches. Don't get up him make a political
speech because uh and he shouts at Apple. He's like, Apple,
you're doing you know, you got a show about doing
right integrity, but you got sweatshops in China with kids,
And he's like, if Ice has had a stream and siderce,
you'd all be calling the agents. I thought that was
pretty good and pretty right on. Have you seen the
Morning Show? Yeah? You like it? Yeah, I think it's
(39:05):
I don't know, it feels like it's too dramatic. But yeah,
it's very dramatic. Um. I because I work in TV
and if working a prompter a lot, they kind of
suck at doing the TV part of it, like they
kind of suck his news anchors. But I thought the
show was pretty good. Another thing annoyed me was I
feel like they used big words in places they didn't
have to, Like sometimes they just use big words to
seem smart when they didn't have to. Who's the guy
(39:27):
that writes all that stuff? Who's a great writer and
he's known for writing really smart No, just in general,
he writes all those shows he used to write, like, um,
Sunset Square, that show that he wrote, like, I don't
know who cares. But he taught a class two in
one of those where you can take the lessons. Yeah
(39:48):
you did. But it felt like a show that where
he was a writer. Um, which means nothing because I
couldn't tell you who it is. But yeah, I didn't
like it though, Like I did like it a lot.
I thought Steve Correll was low key the star of
the show. Really. I thought he played that Matt lower
type character so good and at times you were torn
(40:10):
and you're going huh. Mostly you weren't, but at times
you kind of were. But he's like, I didn't break
the law, and then being but I thought he was.
He did. There's only a couple times where I felt
it was Michael Scott when he would laugh cut if
you go, and I would hear Michael Scott in him.
But yeah, I thought I would give it four out
(40:30):
of five stars. The show that is weird. I didn't
see him as Michael Scott at all, and that I
watched The Office every day in my last year, I
think at some point, but he didn't love it. Huh.
See who teaches that writing class on online? Because I
need to say who it is? And maybe he wrote
west Wing. If you say it, I'll know who it is.
(40:54):
So um and yeah, the oscars come out that the
monologue was. I think that's it. Yeah, I think that's
who it is. What else has he written? Uh, let's
see comes up as the west Wing? Yeah? Anything else?
As you say that. I watched the Kevin Hart docuseries.
(41:17):
Did you watch that? I haven't seen any I know
good The news Room, Yes, that's it, it's him, it's him.
The news Room was so good. It was one of
the guys from dumba dumber when he was the anchor.
It was so good. Yeah. Yeah, it felt like an
Aaron Sorkin where you write the people a little smarter
than they probably are. Did he write the Studio Sunset
(41:37):
strip show It's there? Oh yeah, it's on here. He
also wrote the Social Network, the movie Yeah Wow, and
a Few Good Men. He wrote that movie too. I
should have known his name just out of respect and
money Ball. That's a good one. The Kevin Hart documentary
is good, and in that they talked about him getting
(41:58):
fired from the Oscars. He talks about it happens while
they're doing the show. It's why they start the show.
They're like, He's like, oh my god. And then he also,
in the middle of shooting it gets caught cheating on
his wife and that's a whole episode where he like
calls all his boys in and they're like, what happened?
How did this get at? It's a whole it's good.
There's no stand up in it, so there's no comedy
straight straight yeah, like as reality as it will be there,
(42:23):
like not reality, like very cavaliery, which is all fake.
I mean I see them shooting around that show. I
is so fake. It's all scripted. It's so fake, it's
so dumb. But if you like that, good for you,
as long as you know that it's there's not an
ounce of truth in that show. But that's a lot
of those shows like that, those thirty minute people that
used to be on Jiguna Beach or what's it calling, yeah,
(42:46):
jiggoon not an idiot, the ELM, the j I think.
I think I'm a little turned around. Yeah, um, but
it's it seems pretty real because it gets really uncomfortable
and the text he's I think the cameras like there
when he gets the Texas like oh yeah, and his
PR person is talking with them, They're like, dude, you
screwed and he's like, I'm not apologizing. This is during
(43:07):
that the Oscars. It's good. Just check it out. You
would like it. I like it. I watch um all right,
I think that's it. Anything you want to say about
the Oscars, I know I had you on something before
you jumped. Oh no, I'm just looking forward. I really
want Joaquin Phoenix to win for Best Actor, like I
think he will. I hope he does. He will, And
he's also the Joker made a bunch of money and
(43:29):
he's the critics pick, and he gets skinny for roles,
and he does all the extra things. I think he
has all of those things. He's like Luke Combs. Isn't
country music now what you're talked about a bit earlier,
But like normal folks like him, contemporary, like the people
that are like bring Country's back, like them, Like everybody
likes him. He checks off all of the boxes on
who's gonna vote for him, because usually there's a part
(43:52):
of a box that nobody like. Who. You know, it's
not traditional enough country, I'm not gonna vote for him. Who? So, uh,
Walking Phoenix checks all those commercially viable and it's super
cool too, you know, the snobby voter. So I say you,
when I put money on that, that's probably the betting up.
I guess they're not nominated, and I'd just like to
see m Adam Sandler to get a nomination. Yeah, that
(44:14):
would be awesome. I mean you had snubbed from the
Golden Globe. Did you like the movie? Yeah, that's the
one I want to see right now, uncut gems right. Well,
I like it because I love sports, I love gambling.
I love Adam Sandler, but he's not playing Adam Sandler.
He's playing a straight ahead gotten. There's glimpses of like
old Squadam Sandler and it like just his laugh, kind
of like you said about Steve Carell. You're like, oh, yeah,
(44:35):
it's Adam Sandler. But then once it gets into it's
like whoa this dude and tense. Thank you guys for
hanging out. It's been episode to twenty um. I believe
hopefully if things work out right, Shay from Dan and
Sha will be on next right, that's our unless somebody

look forward to in We'll talk a little bitbout the
Golden Globes this week, and Mike d has a movie
podcast called Mike D's Movie Podcasts, what it called Mike Movie,
Mike's Movie Podcast, Movie, Mike's Movie Podcast. I did want
to start with this article I saw from Ultimate Guitar.
(00:24):
They have a list of songs with mistakes that they
didn't take out of the recording. So I love when
people leave things in, and a lot of times we go, man,
that really that was a great idea to leave character,
and sometimes they're like, oh, yeah, we didn't hear it,
or sometimes they were like, we had no other option
but to leave it in because the take was so good,
especially with old music, because they all have to get
(00:45):
in the room at the same time and record and
sometimes it's just live and that's what they happen. It's
like they all have to Yeah. So these are seven
mistakes not edited out, and we'll start with the song
here Black Country Woman from Led Zeppelin. Here's the first song,
should we? So they were recording at a house and
just as they started, a plane flew over. You can
(01:07):
hear the plane flying over right there. So play that again,
and so Robert Plant going, I leave it. Here you
go again, not even yet, not leave it. I'll leave it.
But if you didn't know, and you can let it
(01:28):
play for a minute, if you didn't know, you would
think that was part of the recording on purpose, because
it does sound cool and my guys hanging out and like,
who cares. But they all had to get in the
same room and play instruments at the same time. Back then,
they weren't really tracking like they do now. Turn that
up him, listen mad cool. The next up is rock
(01:52):
Sand from the Police. At the beginning, you can hear
a cluster of keyboard notes, followed by Sting's laugh. He
accidentally sat on the keyboard. Here's the song. It's four
seconds in. It fits so well that it could have
been intentional, but it wasn't. Here you go, that's funny.
(02:14):
That's very quick. So you here we go, and we'll
do it again. Here we go. Sting sat on the
keyboard and that's what this is. Go ahead, that's funny,
he laughs. That laugh is in the song Wow Rocks
(02:41):
it's pretty cool. Next up is wish you hear from
Pink Floyd. So David go Moore coughs and can be
heard breathing right before the main guitar comes in. Now,
the rumor is that he couldn't hold in a cough
because he smoked so much, and he was so upset
when heard the final take that he quits ooking cold
turkey the next day. So you can start the song
(03:03):
now because it's like twenty seven seconds. That was a cough.
Sniffle wet to that cough. So again it just sounds
like it's part of the song here played again, funny
(03:31):
wish you were here the other version? Would they like
take that part out? They are because it's like on
one channel of the track, So there's another version where
that channel is just muted. That's interesting. Uh. I saw
her again from the Moms and papas. They did a
lot of layered vocals, but the repeated I saw her.
(03:53):
I saw her at the beginning of the third verse.
There was a mistake in the editing. They liked it,
so they kept it in so that first I saw
her as an accident. He came in early, he goes,
I saw her I saw her again. The first one
(04:16):
is an accident. So the song Lou LOUI, Oh yeah,
we gotta go thought by the Kingsman, someone drops an
F bomb in the background about about a minute into
the song, supposedly because the vocalist came into early. Now
(04:38):
this is the song. If you're going through listed on
your own, uh streaming, the F bombs about fifty four
seconds in, you can barely hear it, and you wouldn't
know as the F four were that being told. But
now that you know, I don't even know if I
played on the radio, now that I know, because you know,
remind me, let's talk about the fard after this. But
here we go that. So in the back you're the
(05:06):
guy go stop right there. If you play that again,
now that you heard it, listen again, And it's because
the vocalist came in a bit too early. Here you
go right there. Yeah. So in poker Face, I think
(05:29):
from Lady Gaga, which isn't on this thing here, it
wasn't an accident, but didn't it leave the effort in
on purpose? And there's only one station to ever catch it? Yeah,
because she keeps saying poker face, poker face and then
there's like one instance where she says the word her
face right, and they left it in and ready just
played it. Nobody ever knew. I remember people mentioning that,
but I was like, oh, you're just hearing that, but
apparently was true. Here is number six from one of
(05:50):
my favorite bands of all time, favorite artists Been Folds
five Stephen's Last Night in Talents name of the song.
They were recording it in a house and towards the
end of the song you can hear a phone ringing,
but since it sounded like a fit, they left it in.
It's like two fifty six into the song. Here you
go last night and so that phones in the background,
(06:15):
it goes it's when it dropped. Yea, So hear it
in the more time last night. That's pretty funny. Look,
it's really good. It sounds like it fits because all
(06:37):
his drums and piano sounds like a keyboard, almost like
keep playing. It sounds like more. Mayhem added one more.
Here is bar lights from Whiskey Town. So Ryan Adams
is in Whiskeytown. Ryan Adams forgot his line, started laughing,
Caitlyn Carrey started laughing, and Ryan broke a string all
in one bad moment and they still use that take.
(06:58):
Now it's two five into the song. As the song
fades out, he explains what happened. So and there's an
F word and just here you go. Look, that won't
make you mad. That won't make you mad, that won't
make Here comes the explanation somewhere that did. It doesn't
(08:03):
have a very end like go, hey, there you go
broken string Right after that happened, you believe that I
forgot the line, started laughing and then my string broke.
All right, I'm going to the bar. So those are
(08:25):
the seven things. It's from Ultimate Guitar Solid article. Loved it.
I thought it was so good. Um and since where
a music nerd podcast? Basically it gets no more music
nerdy than that. Some of them songs that aren't even singles,
they're just songs on records somewhere. So um yeah, there
you go. On the phone now Lauren Joe Black from
(08:47):
Country Now dot com and wandered to bring you on
to talk about five things to look forward to in
By the way, Lauren, what do your friends call you?
Do they call you? Lauren? Lauren Joe? What do they
what do they call you? Okay, that's what I lawresen
to Lauren in like my World, So sometimes I'm Lauren Joe,
but mostly it's Laurence at Lauren Joe Black on Instagram.
(09:08):
By the way, and Lauren has been covering country music
since two thousand eight or so, Yes, because you started
the website country Music is Love way back in the day.
Is that right, Yeah, in two thousand eight. It's crazy
that you say that, because I was just thinking it
will be twelve years that I've been covering country music
this year, and then you sold that to a record
(09:30):
label and they changed the name of it. Was my
story right on this and it's all kind of coming
back to me now. Yeah. So I sold it to
a record label in Nashville and I was the editor there.
Um we rebranded it to Sounds like Nashville and I
was the editor there for a couple of years. And
then in two thousand nineteen, I launched a new website,
(09:52):
which is Country Now and I'm loving it and the
response has been really great and excited to be working
on a it again this year, so check her out
and check out country now dot com. Five things to
look forward to what is and let's go in reverse order.
So five are these in order for you? Or no?
Are they just at random? Five? I just did a
(10:13):
random Okay, so we'll just do number one. What's the
first thing we're looking forward to? Well, I think for
me and a lot of country fans, it's just seeing
Luke Combs continue to skyrocket to the top. I mean,
he's already at the top of his game, and I
think that it will just continue in Um. I mean,
he's got what seven number ones, He dominated all the
(10:35):
awards shows, and I think it's really good for country music.
I feel like he's just your normal guy and people
can relate to him because of that, and I think
this year will continue to see him rise to the top.
And my bet is which you may agree, Um, we'll
probably see an Entertainer of the Year nomination on the horizon,
(10:55):
if not, you know, for the a c m S,
potentially the CMAZ later this year. You know, I was
talking about on air, I was doing a look into
the crystal ball and I actually predicted Luke Combs would
win Entertainer of the Year at the c MAS this
year and the same page there, and I know it's
it's rare for someone to come in never be nominated
and then just scoop up the wind. But it's almost
(11:18):
undeniable because it sells everything. No, he sells everything, tickets
and music. Yeah, And a couple of years ago, if
you said Luke, you know, everybody would just think Luke Brian.
You could just say it's Luke. But now you know
there's two Lukes, and you know it's kind of like
they're both at the top. But I think Luke Combs
(11:38):
is just going to take that edge this year and
we'll see, uh, a big, big year for him. Who
do you think got the bigger shaft at the c
MAS this year? Did you think that Carrie not winning
it or Luke Brian not being nominated was the bigger upset? Um,
that's a tough one, but I'm gonna have to go
with Carrie not winning. I just think that she did
(11:59):
everything right, Like she checked off all the boxes this year.
And um, you know, Luke music wise, like it's been
a while since we've had an album. Um, you know,
his touring is kind of cut back a little bit.
But I mean Carrie did everything and you know she's
at the Opry, she's you know, on all these national shows.
(12:19):
She did her massive tour, so I definitely would have
to say carry on that one, and they both were
big upsets that that it didn't happen. Now, I would
actually go the other way because you know, with Eric Church,
if he didn't want or Garth one, it's hard to
argue because everyone has their super strength. But with Luke Brian,
he had. He didn't put out a record, it's been
a while, but he did have a bunch of number ones,
(12:41):
and yes he did scale back touring. But two things happened.
One he got on a primetime television show, which kind
of raises his entertainer profile more than just a country artist.
I felt like him not being nominated. Again, there's not
a wrong answer, and I feel like both of them
were disappointments, but I feel like Luke Brian not being
nominated did was a shocker because he is the biggest
(13:03):
thing in contemporary country music right now. Yeah, I mean,
I definitely see your point because also when you hear
Entertainer of the Year, you immediately think, well, i've show,
but it actually is a lot of things that play
into that. It's their live show, but also you know
their presence as a whole, So being on a national
television show like American Idol of course is a big one.
So I do see your point there. For sure. That's
(13:24):
interesting that you interpret Entertainer of the Year because, and
this is the controversy or or just a debate, what
does that mean. I don't see Entertainer of the Year
as a live music thing. I see it as a
total three sixty like what do you add from all
the different angles? Now I'm not right, but it just
goes to show that two people who both work in
the industry can have a different interpretation on what Entertainer
(13:48):
of the Year means. And that's why people can be
disappointed that their person didn't win, because maybe they did
check the boxes that they thought Entertainer of the Year,
but maybe not the others. Right, Yeah, I definitely see that,
And I think fans, like from an outside, outside perspective,
really think about being an entertainer, you know, just their
literal live show. If that's the case, if it is
(14:10):
about a live show, then they got it right. And
I've seen everybody perform. Nobody outperforms Garth live and sells
more arenas than Garth in a row. So again, there
wasn't a wrong answer, but I felt like Luke not
being nominated for the c m A Award and Carrie
not winning. We're both general disappointments with the public. So
I wonder where you fell. And you know what, we disagree,
(14:31):
but I still like you, Mike. I still like her,
all right, We're still we don't have to dislike somebody
because we disagree. Number four, Lauren on the five things
look forward to, Well, I think it's a good segue.
So CMAS. I mean, this is a big year for
the CMA Awards because Carrie just announced that she's stepping
down from hosting after twelve years. And of course the
(14:53):
eleven years UM she was with Brad. This past year
she hosted with Reba and Dolly Parton, and you know,
it's it's a big thing. I think to think about, Um,
who's gonna host and how are they going to make
the show really big? Because Carry brought a lot of
star power to the show, definitely, rebut and Dolly did
this year. UM, and a lot of people are looking
(15:14):
at Thomas Rtt and Kelsey Ballerini. You know, they're thinking, hey,
maybe they'll be the next duo. They kind of UM
had a little training session as you could say with
the c m A Fest hosting um, which you did
to Bobby. So I mean, I don't know if your
calendar is open in early November, but maybe you should
leave it open because you could be a good contender
(15:35):
for that too. But I think this year the c
m A Awards will um, you know, definitely have to
They'll have to be big because they're going to have
to keep their audience and keep people watching without Carrie
and Brad. I'm gonna not comment on this just from
my own personal because I know too much that's happening
right now, and I'll say that the tr and Kelsey stuff,
people are just walking down the wrong track with that.
That's right now, it's not even in the conversation. I
(15:58):
don't think that. I don't think that they to do it.
I don't think I think they would, But it's not
going that direction right now. Things could change, well, you know,
some people think that when you're a host, it kind
of puts like a peg on you that you just
don't win anymore. And a lot of people have said
that about Carrie, you know, for whatever reason. But um, yeah,
I don't know. I mean that could make sense, like
(16:19):
if wherever they're out in their career if they didn't
want to do it. But now you really have me thinking, well,
here's the thing, is that anyone that goes into that
M I'm just walking on. I'll talk a lot. I
just know too. But um, here's what I'll say is
that anyone that goes into that, if they somewhat look
like Carrying Brad, They're going to be compared exactly to
(16:41):
Carry and Brad. And the last thing I would want
to be as another male and female artist hopping up
after Carrying Brad have done it for eleven or twelve years,
because it's gonna be like and we'll use them for
an example. And I will use them a example because
they're both friends of mine, t R and Kelsey. How
do they do compared to Carry and Brad? That is
not what you want. And you never want to follow
the guy. You want to follow the guy who follows
(17:03):
the guy. Now, Carrie had a deal with Dolly and
and Reba, and I'll say this too, I just get
myself in trouble. Carry and I share an agent um
which has nothing to do with C. M. A. Wards.
But I do know about that. There was only nothing
personal with Carrie leaving, she just felt like she had
done it all, and I don't think she wanted to
be stunt casted again with someone else, meaning she wasn't
(17:27):
She's not gonna hang it out for five or six
more years probably doing it. It'll only be a couple,
and I don't think she wanted to go through the
novelty of them putting somebody new with her every year.
So I'm gonna end on this note that I don't
think it'll be another guy girl pair of artists at
this point right now, because I don't think they wanted
to look like junior varsity care Carrie and Brad. Yes,
(17:49):
they don't want it to look like junior varsity carry
and Brad. I will say that, and I will now
walk away from this, thank you. But it's it's a
great people people are talking about and we'll stand by. Okay,
number what's I think I'm with the wrong orlder at
one than four? So now let's do two or what's
what's next up? Okay, so the next you know, the
(18:10):
female conversation. We've had the female conversation for years, but
I'm just gonna take a little bit of a twist
on it because you know, everyone wants female to get
more airplay, which I agree, but I'm thinking this is
just gonna be a really great year to look forward
to for great music coming from amazing artist to our female. Um,
and I was thinking about you know, we know Carly
(18:31):
Pierce has a record coming, Kelsey Ballerini will be announcing
her as any day, Lindsay l Ingrid Andrews, possibly something
from Gabby Barrett. And another one that which is huge
is the Dixie Chicks. So I think this is gonna
be a really really great year for females and um,
hopefully that will translate to airplay. But I mean, from
what I've heard of Carly's album, it's gonna be amazing.
(18:54):
And I mean all these ladies, I think it's just
going to be really really good. I would love a
Dixie Chicks album because like they just came back and said, hey,
take us or leave us, but we're country again and
here we are. I would love it. I would support
it so much. I've never not supported the Dixie Chicks.
I would just love it. And uh and uh, Kelsey
(19:14):
and I are good friends. I I don't listen to
many artists music before they put it out but I'll
say this, Kelsey and I've been been friends, and she
told me before she had a record deal, and and
so I do, well, we'll listen to things. And I
don't think she's announced, but she has some really cool
collapse on her record that are coming up that I've
been able to hear. Um, So the Kelsey stopps exciting
to me. Obviously, the Lindsay record is gonna be cool,
(19:35):
but also to me, I think there's a lot of
songs that aren't good about me. I think this is
the angry album about me, um, because the last time
was good about me. This album is gonna be her
kind of probably getting some of her frustration out about
our relationship. So as much as I think it's gonna
be great because Dan Help is producing it, who produced
Kane Brown, who produces basically everybody, they're gonna be a
great record, but one that I'm a little nervous about. UM,
(19:58):
and the and the Gabby Barrett stuff will be interesting too,
So I'm with you on most of that there. Um.
You know, I was talking on my show this morning
about uh female artists and how a revolution isn't good
an evolution is, and where a lot of these groups
will pressure programmers or playlist ers to go just put
(20:21):
a bunch of females in there, which, being an advocate
like I am, I've always said that's the absolute worst
thing to do, because what what what will happen and
I've seen happen is some of these pro And I
don't have a dog in this fight. I don't care
really what radio plays. I play what I want to play.
Sometimes I just let the tested songs play. But you
can play any songs around me I and be okay.
I get hired to talk. But and that's also why
I can be an advocate for certain kinds of music,
(20:43):
because I'm really not attached to anything specifically. But I've
seen in instances where they have taken just female records
and go okay, we're gonna slam lem up, and they
let them run for eight or nine or ten weeks,
and they don't get the research back because they haven't
been organically grown and haven't spent time with the records
on the radio. And then they go, we told you
it wasn't good, which isn't fair also to that female
artist because it didn't get to come up the same
(21:06):
slow system getting uh minor research at the beginning. You know,
if it didn't come back good, it was okay. They
were still going to grow it. So for a lot
of these programmers that are just throwing females in the mix, Like,
I love the idea of it, but it's not good
for long term because as soon as you throw something
in and it doesn't test well, they go, we told
you what did you want from us? We tried, it
(21:26):
didn't work. So I do love that we're seeing a
lot of A and R teams spend more time recruiting
developing female artists because that's where it starts. More record
labels are spending time, uh, nurturing these artists that Gabby
Barrett's a great example of that. They didn't just roll
out with a big album and stay here, let's go.
They spent time with our writing songs, putting out a song,
(21:47):
putting out a second song. So I'm in the camp
of it should have taken a few years and now
we're really getting ready to go, and and and ready
in prime for a bunch of these female artists to
grow even further. And Ingrid Andrews is stoppable train like
she is probably my favorite new artist, so Um, I
know I jumped in a lot of that of yours. Lauren,
(22:09):
Oh no, I love it. I love to hear your thoughts.
I mean I did. I think it's just going to
be incredible. And what what I think is amazing too,
is just I think that they're making really great music.
Like before people would say, well, the music isn't good,
but this is really good music. It just needs to
be heard. Next up, let's say, let's just call us one,
number four, number four or five. Okay, so, um, let's
(22:31):
see that. I'm just gonna just do a generic. This
is the tour, the year of tours. I mean, everyone
is headlining. The lineups are stacked. Um, fans just better
save their money or be really picky and choosy of
what they go see. Um. I mean, so far there's
been major tour announcements from Luke Coombs, Kenny Jesny, Miranda Lambert,
(22:53):
Jason Aldan, Thomas Rhett, and then also some of the
legendary artists like Rebuzz going back on the Road and
Alan Jackson. And I just think it's just such a
great time, um, you know, to get out go see
a show. And like I said, these lineups are stacked
like the Jason al Dean tour is Morgan Wallen and
Riley Green and Jason Aldean, like that is a good lineup. Um,
(23:15):
so fans are definitely getting their money's worth when they're
going to see these shows. And as a fan of
country music myself, I'm excited to go see them too.
The shows are great. Here's the frustration is that tickets
are so expensive, and these artists are doing a great
job of making the shows really pop, and they're they're
using a lot of technology to make the shows cooler.
(23:37):
They're making it more of a three sixty experience a
lot of times. But you're right, if you don't save
your money, you get like one or two shows a year,
and it's it's kind of the old Um, what do
you want a really great, amazing show or a cheaper
ticket because they don't come together. You're not gonna get
a show where they spend a bunch of money on
the show and you pay ten bucks. So it is there,
and I think that more amazing shows there are the
(24:01):
better just for fans. They're more to choose from. But tickets, man,
they are really getting up there, especially if you want
something on the floor or mid level, they're like a
hundred bucks apiece. Yeah, and especially if you want to
go to Vegas, like these Vegas shows, Crazy Brooks and Done,
Shania Twain, Keith Urban, they're all out in Vegas this year,
(24:23):
and those are very pricey. Yeah, but I'll also say this,
and again, Laurena, we have an advantage because we're in
the industry. We don't have to pay for tickets anymore. Right,
But you know, yeah, spoiled. I grew up broke though,
so I'm always watching money. And I went to Riba
and Brooks and Dune in Vegas and it wouldn't matter
what that ticket cost. That's a once in a lifetime
(24:43):
kind of thing. That was really an amazing show. And
so that's one of those where I'm like, man, if
you got to save up to go to that show
and you love them, you should go to that show
if you love them. Um, So all right, and give
me the last one of the five things, Lauren. Alright,
So this is just this is my personal favorite. It's
just I feel like the past couple of years we've
seen this resurgence of a traditional like nineties country sound.
(25:05):
We're getting away from like the bro country sounds too.
Artists leading the pack of this are you know, John Party,
Riley Green, Luke Hoombs again, Morgan Wallen, Um and even
Carly Pierce I think kind of has that, like especially Um.
Her latest single I Hope You're Happy Now kind of
has a more throwback five. But personally I love nineties
country and I think that just this leaning toward that
(25:29):
throwback sound is really cool and I think we're going
to keep seeing that. How do you feel about Rascal
Flats breaking up? Now? Okay, so yeah, that was breaking
news this morning as I was trying to get out
the door to take my kids to school, And honestly,
I have to admit I kind of saw it coming. Um.
I had heard that there was some they weren't re
(25:49):
signed to their contract at their record label this fall,
and so I kind of thought something like this was coming. Um,
And I think they're going out on a good note.
I mean, twenty years, it's a long time to be together.
But again, I'm not surprised. I kind of think when
Dan and Shay started to get popular, which now they're
just megastars, I kind of feel like they've filled that
(26:12):
place for Rascal Flats, Like I hate to say that
there's only one place for someone to sort of sound
like that, But I don't know how you feel about it,
but that's kind of how I feel. And then since then,
we've kind of seen like a decline of Rascal Flats
popularity on the radio. Um, but I mean, I love
them and I think that they're especially their older music is,
you know, something what I grew up listening to in
(26:34):
college in high school, So I don't always have a
little special place in my heart. But I can't say
I was very surprised. Are you saying that was in
fighting with the guys? Is that what I'm hearing you saying?
What are you saying there was fighting with the three guys?
Are you saying that? I don't think that there was fighting,
And I just I just think that maybe they were
just kind of already. I mean, when you do something
like if you go to a job every day for
(26:55):
twenty years, you know, maybe you kind of get sick
of it. I don't know, I love my job so much,
so I don't look at it as a as a
job that I get sick of. But maybe it just
kind of became they felt like they did what they
could do and they're going to move on. But I
mean I've seen a couple of people joke online like
Rascal Flats Reunion Tour, you know. So, I mean, who knows,
(27:18):
maybe they'll get back together in a couple of years
and we can relive all those hits together. But I
just had a feeling it was coming. I definitely don't
think they were fighting. I was making a joke with that.
And also I know a couple of them pretty well.
I think you're onto the They have a lot of
other interests right now. I think that you know, Jay
has got his own record label going. He's spending a
(27:38):
lot of time doing that, developing artists. Gary's target hunting
and building a moving company. Uh. And so yeah, they've
they've I think they've run their course at their label,
and you know what, they will reunite in a few
years and they'll make a much more money. And they
got a bunch of money. If you're not loving it
in your set, why would you keep going? Yeah, I agree,
(27:59):
I mean they can walk away from it and know that,
you know, they're leaving out on a high note. Good
for them, all right. Lauren Joe Black at Lauren Joe

and check it out too, all right, Lauren, thank you?
All right by Lauren. By So, I want to take
a second talk about the Golden Globes because Mike has
(29:03):
a podcast now you can check out called Movie Mike's
Movie Podcast. Basically you just type in movie Mike and
you can hear him talk about his favorite movies, some
movie history I know in a recent episode talking about
Adam Sandler in doing dopey comedies, and doing serious work.
You talked about highest paid movies, so check out his podcast.
(29:23):
And because of that, and I watched a little bit
of the Golden Globes. With any award show, unless I
know the people, I kind of lose interest quickly. And
it's the weirdest one. It is because I mean, they're
sitting around here and it's it's kind of weird. We'll
start with the big ones here and Best Motion Picture Drama.
The big one. It was nineteen seventeen, The Irishman Joker,
(29:45):
Marriage Story and Two Popes. Now I did see The
Irishman Joker and the Two Popes? Did you see all
five of them? I haven't seen the Two Popes? And
nineteen seventeen hasn't had a full release yet. It comes
out Friday. Okay, So, but you saw a marriage story?
Did you like it? I like going a lot, but
I like it. I think he would is very dramatic
and it's real. Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver just have
(30:07):
skipped over it so many times because I'm like, I
haven't been divorced. I haven't either, but I'm also not catholic.
Did you didn't watch Two Pokes and loved it? And
this it's um nonfiction. With some fiction. I would watch
the movie and then google what's real and what is
it because they don't hide what they're not making a
(30:28):
movie and then getting caught not telling the truth. But
they also intersplice some real the Pope because it's the story,
because what happened to Pope Benedict stepped down and Pope
Francis took over, and they didn't like each other, especially
from the beginning. Pope Francis like, take me out of
the running, and Bennedett got it. And then when Bennedict
was like, I gotta step down, a lot of the
sexual abuse stuff was going on. There's a lot going on,
(30:50):
and that's not why I said he stepped down, but
you know, you can read about it. Pope Francis was like,
I don't want to be the Pope. I don't I
don't think I deserve you the pope, and they made
him the pope. Crazy story great. I love the two popes.
It's a lot of talking back and forth and couldn't
be seen as boring if you're not dialed in and
like that. I'm not Catholic, so it wasn't that for me.
(31:10):
But I thought it was really good. Anthony Hopkins plays
the Pope Benedict's awesome. Yeah, um so okay, Marriage Story.
Give it out of five stars. Um, i'd say four
to five. Two Popes, I give it four out of five.
The Joker, I give a five out of five great
and give it four out of five is good. It
(31:30):
was real good to me, it wasn't great. Did we
watch it together? Okay, the Irishman, that's a three and
a half, very long. I give it four. I would
almost go to four and a half. But I did
watch it in two parts. And I love movies that
have history in it and I can learn because I
(31:53):
didn't know if people were I didn't know either. Yeah,
because the main character, not the guy who was doing
the killing, but the Jimmy Hoffa. I don't know any
about Jimmy happen now I do. He led the team stores,
he led the union, was also doing mob stuff. Um.
But but I like all these that I've seen. I
liked it one. Yeah that's crazy, and I haven't seen it.
(32:16):
You haven't seen it. It's a warm movie, like all
in one continuous shot World War One. Yeah, they shot
the holding one shot the whole movie, the whole movie.
I mean, I think they like found a way to
edit it together, but it's you never see a cut away,
so the whole thing is just one continuous shot. That's cool.
I wonder when the whole movie will be made with
the iPhone. I've had that idea, like like Apple will
(32:37):
pay for movies to be shot with with iPhone vertically.
I would love it, and not even just vertically, just
shoot a sideways. But they can just say we shot
the whole movie on Apple Plus with iPhones. People have
done that with music videos, but I haven't seen anything
with movies yet. Best Performance by an Actress an emotion picture. Um.
(32:57):
The winner was renee Zelwigger for Judy. Yeah, she one
and like sixteen years? Have you seen it? Is it out? Yeah?
I haven't seen a boy Judy Garland? Right? Yeah? Did
you see any of these? Have you seen a little one? Women?
And I taught my list to see, but I haven't
seen it yet. I'm gonna wait for your review on that.
I think it would be good. Everybody loves it that's
seen it, yeah, Um, Soul Johanson and Merrit Story didn't.
(33:20):
Cynthia Rebo and Harriet didn't. Win and Charlie Stare on
a bomb show. What you tried to go see but
it was sold out? I ended up to get to
see it, but I had in a weird seat. What
do you think It's hard to like that movie because
what it's about. Yeah, and I didn't think it was
done particularly well. Well, I didn't love it. No acting
is really good, but just the way they set it up,
it could have been better. Best performance by an actor
(33:41):
Joaquin Phoenix and Joker one. I have no problem with that.
He was great, and especially for what he was trying
to do. I feel like he nailed what he was
trying to nail. Uh. Jonathan Price from the two popes
who played Pope Francis look just like him too, just
like him? Adam Driving Merrit story didn't win Antonio Banderia's
Painting Glory Christian Bale Ford versus for Ari. Did you
see that one? Yeah? Did you like it? It's good?
(34:02):
I had a friend that saw it instead. It was
just fantastic. I don't I have no interest, but maybe
I should. I think you would like it, yea, But yeah,
Walking Phoenix for Joker. Everybody stood up and clapped in
gave a standing ovation except for Beyonce. Did you see that?
It sort of follow up as to why, and she
didn't make a statement why. They were just speculating Best
Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy. Your nominees were Dolomite is
(34:24):
My Name, which I see on my Netflix all the
time with Eddie Murphy and it's based on a real story.
I didn't have to watch some of these movies. It
pops up and I'm like, I have to get rid
of the because it's on Netflix. It sucks. Right after
I have to get they're putting out good movies now
Jojo Rabbit. Do you know what that is? It's a
like a comedy with like Nazis Knives Out. You saw that.
(34:50):
I haven't seen it. Oh yeah, I thought you went
to see Knives Now once part of Time in Hollywood
and Rocket Man once Part Time in Hollywood. One. I
thought it was pretty good. I love that one law
it's three hours three long. I thought Brad Pitt was
great in it, probably the start. Yeah, yeah, I thought
his character allowed you to like him more. I don't
(35:12):
know who's acting was better, because they they were both
playing these characters. But I thought Brad Pitt's character was
such a likable, hard working, kind of fun guy who's
just appreciated being there. So I thought his character was
built to like him more. But yeah, it was great.
He was great. I liked a movie. It was just
I watched that one in once one setting though, were
the irishman I split into. Maybe I would have liked
(35:33):
once a Part of Time in Hollywood if I watched
it in two parts. But I liked it. And Charles
Manson's in that for a second, and the hippie girls
Hot or Not had armpit hair. Did you notice that? Yeah?
Best performance by an actress in a motion picture of
musical comedy Aquafina. That's her name? That like the Water? Yeah,
(35:54):
she named herself after the water. Huh, good for her.
Did you ever see a farewell? Best performance by an actor?
Tarn Eagerton and rocket maner to say his name? Do
you like rocket Man? No? I didn't watch it because
everybody was like, it kind of sucks because it wasn't
and they were comparing it to Freddie Markeury movie. It
came out like what it was like the next big
(36:15):
biopick after that, and I didn't even like it. Best
performance by an actor and supporting role Brad Pitt Wins.
One time in Hollywood we talked about that music from
was from the Joker. I dont see the guy's name.
I thought there was. I try to wipe off the
dirt on the screen. But his name just has a
lot of it has a weird, weird accenting accents over them. Best. Okay,
(36:36):
let's get to some the television stuff. Your television limited
series Catch twenty two, Chernobyl, The Loudest Voice, unbelievable Listen.
Chernobyl was great. Did you ever watch Chernobyl? Like TV
shows where I started to dial in and go, man,
this is my spe I'm gonna do Bobby's TV Bobby Podcast.
Chernobyl was great and true. I love true. I like
to be entertained and learned at the same time, because
(36:58):
even if I'm not super entertained and I'm still learning
a fel like, I'm still in And even if it
just gives me two roads to enjoy, and if one
of them falls off a little bit, it's like the
two Popes. Some of it is a bit fictional, but
some loly I'm entertaining. I'm still in and even if
it's if it's true and I'm not as entertained. I'm like, oh,
but I'm learning, I'm still in or catching I love
the Two Roads or walk Down. Um. Michelle Williams wins
(37:21):
Best Director of from nineteen seventeen. I'm just looking at it.
I don't care about this other stuff, you know. Best
Original Song I'm Gonna Love Me Again from Rocket Man.
I don't know what that is. Best Television Series, Fleetbag
one again. I saw The Marvelous mist Masal nominated it
and I started that, except I started in season three.
Just pushed play. I'm like, I'm finally gonna watch it,
(37:43):
and I pushed play and watch two episodes. I was like,
I don't get it. I'm lost. They kind of started
in a weird place. And then I was telling my friend.
I was like, how did you like the show? Because
she's like opening for this and he's like, no, dude,
you started season Um. Best Screenplay Quentin Tarantino for Once
upon a Time in Hollywood. I thought his speech was
funny because he was like, well, on paraphrase, I don't
(38:03):
know who to thin because I wrote it all myself.
Very awkward guy. Um, there you go. Anything you'd like
to say about the oscars um but yeah, the nomination
was coming out of the Golden Globes. I'm sorry and clothes.
People always say that they like predict like or like
an indicator who's gonna win an oscar and be nominated?
But I think it's just set up so differently that
(38:24):
I'm curious to see. Wouldn't come out next week Who'll
be nominated? And Ricky gervass Is opening monologue. I thought
it was great. He had a great line about him
Leonardo DiCaprio about him going to the premiere of Once
U final time in Hollywood and by the time it
was over, his day was too old for him. He went.
After that, I thought, too, where he goes, don't make
(38:44):
you political speeches. Don't get up him make a political
speech because uh and he shouts at Apple. He's like, Apple,
you're doing you know, you got a show about doing
right integrity, but you got sweatshops in China with kids,
And he's like, if Ice has had a stream and siderce,
you'd all be calling the agents. I thought that was
pretty good and pretty right on. Have you seen the
Morning Show? Yeah? You like it? Yeah, I think it's
(39:05):
I don't know, it feels like it's too dramatic. But yeah,
it's very dramatic. Um. I because I work in TV
and if working a prompter a lot, they kind of
suck at doing the TV part of it, like they
kind of suck his news anchors. But I thought the
show was pretty good. Another thing annoyed me was I
feel like they used big words in places they didn't
have to, Like sometimes they just use big words to
seem smart when they didn't have to. Who's the guy
(39:27):
that writes all that stuff? Who's a great writer and
he's known for writing really smart No, just in general,
he writes all those shows he used to write, like, um,
Sunset Square, that show that he wrote, like, I don't
know who cares. But he taught a class two in
one of those where you can take the lessons. Yeah
(39:48):
you did. But it felt like a show that where
he was a writer. Um, which means nothing because I
couldn't tell you who it is. But yeah, I didn't
like it though, Like I did like it a lot.
I thought Steve Correll was low key the star of
the show. Really. I thought he played that Matt lower
type character so good and at times you were torn
(40:10):
and you're going huh. Mostly you weren't, but at times
you kind of were. But he's like, I didn't break
the law, and then being but I thought he was.
He did. There's only a couple times where I felt
it was Michael Scott when he would laugh cut if
you go, and I would hear Michael Scott in him.
But yeah, I thought I would give it four out
(40:30):
of five stars. The show that is weird. I didn't
see him as Michael Scott at all, and that I
watched The Office every day in my last year, I
think at some point, but he didn't love it. Huh.
See who teaches that writing class on online? Because I
need to say who it is? And maybe he wrote
west Wing. If you say it, I'll know who it is.
(40:54):
So um and yeah, the oscars come out that the
monologue was. I think that's it. Yeah, I think that's
who it is. What else has he written? Uh, let's
see comes up as the west Wing? Yeah? Anything else?
As you say that. I watched the Kevin Hart docuseries.
(41:17):
Did you watch that? I haven't seen any I know
good The news Room, Yes, that's it, it's him, it's him.
The news Room was so good. It was one of
the guys from dumba dumber when he was the anchor.
It was so good. Yeah. Yeah, it felt like an
Aaron Sorkin where you write the people a little smarter
than they probably are. Did he write the Studio Sunset
(41:37):
strip show It's there? Oh yeah, it's on here. He
also wrote the Social Network, the movie Yeah Wow, and
a Few Good Men. He wrote that movie too. I
should have known his name just out of respect and
money Ball. That's a good one. The Kevin Hart documentary
is good, and in that they talked about him getting
(41:58):
fired from the Oscars. He talks about it happens while
they're doing the show. It's why they start the show.
They're like, He's like, oh my god. And then he also,
in the middle of shooting it gets caught cheating on
his wife and that's a whole episode where he like
calls all his boys in and they're like, what happened?
How did this get at? It's a whole it's good.
There's no stand up in it, so there's no comedy
straight straight yeah, like as reality as it will be there,
(42:23):
like not reality, like very cavaliery, which is all fake.
I mean I see them shooting around that show. I
is so fake. It's all scripted. It's so fake, it's
so dumb. But if you like that, good for you,
as long as you know that it's there's not an
ounce of truth in that show. But that's a lot
of those shows like that, those thirty minute people that
used to be on Jiguna Beach or what's it calling, yeah,
(42:46):
jiggoon not an idiot, the ELM, the j I think.
I think I'm a little turned around. Yeah, um, but
it's it seems pretty real because it gets really uncomfortable
and the text he's I think the cameras like there
when he gets the Texas like oh yeah, and his
PR person is talking with them, They're like, dude, you
screwed and he's like, I'm not apologizing. This is during
(43:07):
that the Oscars. It's good. Just check it out. You
would like it. I like it. I watch um all right,
I think that's it. Anything you want to say about
the Oscars, I know I had you on something before
you jumped. Oh no, I'm just looking forward. I really
want Joaquin Phoenix to win for Best Actor, like I
think he will. I hope he does. He will, And
he's also the Joker made a bunch of money and
(43:29):
he's the critics pick, and he gets skinny for roles,
and he does all the extra things. I think he
has all of those things. He's like Luke Combs. Isn't
country music now what you're talked about a bit earlier,
But like normal folks like him, contemporary, like the people
that are like bring Country's back, like them, Like everybody
likes him. He checks off all of the boxes on
who's gonna vote for him, because usually there's a part
(43:52):
of a box that nobody like. Who. You know, it's
not traditional enough country, I'm not gonna vote for him. Who? So, uh,
Walking Phoenix checks all those commercially viable and it's super
cool too, you know, the snobby voter. So I say you,
when I put money on that, that's probably the betting up.
I guess they're not nominated, and I'd just like to
see m Adam Sandler to get a nomination. Yeah, that
(44:14):
would be awesome. I mean you had snubbed from the
Golden Globe. Did you like the movie? Yeah, that's the
one I want to see right now, uncut gems right. Well,
I like it because I love sports, I love gambling.
I love Adam Sandler, but he's not playing Adam Sandler.
He's playing a straight ahead gotten. There's glimpses of like
old Squadam Sandler and it like just his laugh, kind
of like you said about Steve Carell. You're like, oh, yeah,
(44:35):
it's Adam Sandler. But then once it gets into it's
like whoa this dude and tense. Thank you guys for
hanging out. It's been episode to twenty um. I believe
hopefully if things work out right, Shay from Dan and
Sha will be on next right, that's our unless somebody
gets sick, which has happened before and we had to
move Russell back a few times happened before that. Shaye
Mooney from Dan and Shay should be our next episode.
