00:00:00 - 00:00:28 | Speaker 1:

Shall we play a game? Boy, we're just blowing through vacation time. Here we are on a Monday edition of the TBTL Summer Games. We've already got an entire week in the rear view, Andrew. It goes by so fast, doesn't it?

00:00:28 - 00:00:57 | Speaker 2:

It really does, and this has been great fun. I have one regret. I don't know why I would even introduce this right now, but I feel like our very first summer game show, we blew through that so fast because there were so many questions that I felt like we were a little speedy on that. And I feel like every episode since then has almost been better than the last, and so I'm having a lot of fun. But do you want to go back and rerecord Monday's show at a slower pace, at a more relaxed way?

00:00:57 - 00:01:12 | Speaker 1:

I actually already did with Phyllis, so we're actually good. Her food age was 21, like the cool cat that she is. Huh. That's just interesting news. It's all in the Thrive Notes. I don't know if you had a chance to go over that with Alex.

00:01:12 - 00:01:21 | Speaker 2:

You know what? I haven't. Anyway, well, learning all kinds of things this summer. That's what summer's about, right? Growth and being put in one's place.

00:01:21 - 00:02:00 | Speaker 1:

Now, you're still working throughout this. You're doing show-related things. You're posting the shows. You're editing them. You're doing other tasks for APM I am not, as people are hearing this I am, at this point I will be freshly off of another Gunkholing voyage with my friend Evan Oh really, you're going gunkholing It's becoming, we're calling it We came up with some kind of Acronym for it, but it's like basically Gunkhole Fest, which you know Doesn't seem like a thing you can say on a public radio show But you can, because I just did Yeah, we did this last year We got on his sailboat, his beautiful sailboat the seabird and sailed around the san juan islands and i learned then that it's called gunk holing

00:02:00 - 00:02:10 | Speaker 2:

which i've never gotten over gunk hole fest is like a hundred percent the name of a digital underground song right what is that fest called you know what i'm talking about yeah yeah gut fest

00:02:10 - 00:02:20 | Speaker 1:

89 gut fest 89 very close crazy guts crazy guts gut fest 89 that's the amount of that song that

00:02:20 - 00:03:08 | Speaker 2:

i'm allowed to rap on this show andrew do you know that um that i i think i mentioned this to you at some point that like it was during the pandemic it wasn't that long ago maybe about halfway through the pandemic so maybe half a year ago or so i realized that a um a used record store that i love it's right underneath the neptune theater in the university district opened up again and i was so excited to see that they were open and i went down there and i was looking for some de la soul discs which of course they didn't have because those things are very rare um but i I did buy those two digital underground records, Sex Packets, and This is an EP release. And those are now my barbecuing musical companions because I like to – when I'm barbecuing, I like to take my old – my tiny little boom box that I bought a couple of years ago at Goodwill downstairs.

00:03:08 - 00:03:10 | Speaker 1:

I see the photos on Instagram.

00:03:10 - 00:03:14 | Speaker 2:

Oh, yeah. Exactly. That's when you're in your happiest place, I think. Exactly.

00:03:14 - 00:03:15 | Speaker 1:

Out there grilling and chilling.

00:03:15 - 00:03:24 | Speaker 2:

Somebody should trademark that. If there's no ball game on, then I'll break out the boom box, and those are my two go-tos. That's what gets me going while I'm grilling.

00:03:25 - 00:03:39 | Speaker 1:

Yeah. Okay, well, let's get going with this quiz today, this game, which you love to see it, Andrew. It's a quiz in a game, I should say, submitted by the offspring of my actual insurance agent, Kevin O'Brien.

00:03:39 - 00:04:22 | Speaker 2:

Yes, I read this entire email that explains the game and submits it, and then it's signed from Everly. the 11-year-old daughter of a 10 and your favorite insurance agent oh that's so great everly thank you so much for putting this together for us what is the what's the game today this is awesome everly says dear tbtl i have this interesting quiz with 8-bit music it is easy to understand and it is straightforward the game is this one person plays 8-bit covers of popular songs the other players have to try and guess what song is being played that is my game here it is on spotify also searchable. And by the way, so listeners, if you want to play this game, it's searchable under tbtl 8-bit on Spotify.

00:04:22 - 00:04:49 | Speaker 1:

I'll tell you what. It's an open playlist. The O'Brien family, they give and they give and they give. Literally, I believe Kevin donates to the show. He's also the best insurance agent I've ever had. Would recommend. And now he's got the kids submitting content for the summer games. Kevin, as of right now, I haven't crashed any boats during this vacation that I know of, but I'm also pre-recording this. So who knows? We may have talked Multiple times during this week of shows About various misadventures I've had

00:04:49 - 00:04:59 | Speaker 2:

If you're driving somebody else's Boat and you crash it that's not Your insurance Agent's problem is it Well that's for Kevin to sort out Andrew

00:05:00 - 00:05:14 | Speaker 1:

By the way, I don't know why I need to do this dig here, but I was hanging out with Kamara Kev this weekend, and he mentioned that he, I believe, just completed his boating license course. He now has a boat license.

00:05:14 - 00:05:17 | Speaker 2:

Because Dykstra said if he gets his boating license, he can drive Dykstra's pontoon boat.

00:05:17 - 00:05:31 | Speaker 1:

Oh, see, I didn't know that. He just said it was a very easy exercise, and then he kind of actually enjoyed learning about some of these things about boating. But I did think that the irony is he does not own a boat, but he has a boating license. You at one point owned two boats and had no boating license.

00:05:32 - 00:06:13 | Speaker 2:

Well, the cobbler's children go without shoes. Yes, of course. No, but I mean, let me say this. This is going to sound defensive, but I believe that the boating, the thing you do to get your boating license is an online quiz. And it just has to do with like the rules of the sea and who has the right of way and how to respond to emergencies, et cetera. The challenge in driving a boat, it's the nuance. It's the little things like how does the rudder respond or how does the motor do when you do this to it? Those are all things that are not really covered in the license, but that I would have been better off having a stronger command of that fateful day when I created the most memorable moment in TBTL history.

00:06:15 - 00:06:21 | Speaker 1:

All right. So here's the deal, Luke. Do you want to jump right? Should we take a little break here or do you want to just jump right into this quiz?

00:06:21 - 00:06:57 | Speaker 2:

Let's take an early break And then we're going to come back and we're going to do this Game that Everly submitted About 8-bit cover songs So stick around, we're going to do that in just a minute Here on TBTL God, this makes me want to Get my little sword And go like, you know, win Legend of Zelda or something It just transports me back to so many video game memories. That, of course, would be the theme song to Friends. Indeed.

00:06:57 - 00:07:46 | Speaker 1:

I'll be there for you. By the Rembrandts. Yes. This is the first song on Everly's playlist called TBTL 8-Bit. I want to say here, I am giving you a point for that, by the way. Let me officially note that down. In the ledger, it is noted. You do get a point. I wanted to start with an easy one. But I also wanted to say Everly has put together an amazing playlist here with many, many, many songs. We will not have time to get through them all today. So I'm going to kind of just I'm just going to mix it up, Luke. I'm going to mix and match as we go here. Love it. But I do hope that other listeners will look for TBTL 8-Bit on Spotify if you want to play this game with your loved ones this summer. Are you ready for the next one? I am. OK. I'll be here for it. The rain starts to fall. All right, let's go with... Ooh, I like this. Here we go.

00:07:58 - 00:08:07 | Speaker 2:

I think this song is kind of underrated just anyway. Amen. I love this song. It's a banger. In fact, I'm going to listen to the real song later today.

00:08:07 - 00:08:34 | Speaker 1:

This would be 99 Left Balloons. Exactly. Now, of course, it was also released as 99 Red Balloons here in the United States, which I think is the one I grew up with. I don't know if I'd even heard the German one until much later in life. And it turns out Genevieve, do you know this is her magic karaoke song? Because she speaks German to a degree, she took German in high school and college. She knows this whole song in German and will rock it at karaoke and impress everybody.

00:08:34 - 00:08:47 | Speaker 2:

How did this escape my radar? Because I thought that Bulletproof was Genevieve's go-to bring-the-house-down karaoke jam. But you're saying it's the German version of 99 Red Balloon.

00:08:47 - 00:09:34 | Speaker 1:

Yeah, I know that she's done Bulletproof before. I don't know if it's like a modern go-to for her. I think that – I mean, I'm not saying she never does it. I think another one is – oh, there's a Petulia Clark song or a Patsy Cline song. No, that's all about – you don't own me. There's a song called You Don't Own Me. She's singing. That's a real go-to for her. And a song by the Cars is a go-to song. But the Bring the House Down, Bring the Eagles Down is 99 Luftballons. Yeah, man. In German? In German. Yeah. Absolutely. It's super impressive. Some of these on here, I'm scared that I don't recognize them by the title. So I'm worried that if I play it, you won't know it. But you have such a better grip on pop culture than I do. We'll find out. So let's go with this. I don't actually know what song this is. Let's see if we recognize it.

00:09:34 - 00:10:05 | Speaker 2:

do you know it i am mystified OK, here's what I'm going to do without telling you what it is. I'm going to play the original and see if we recognize it.

00:10:05 - 00:10:41 | Speaker 1:

When problems overwhelm us and sadness smothers us, when we find the will and the courage to contain... This is apparently how the song begins. My apologies. Let's get through this. A chance encounter with a book or from a personal faith. For Janet, help came from her faith, but it also came from a squirt. Shortly after her divorce, Janet lost her father. This is weird, Luke. Then she lost her job. she had mounting money problems but janet not only survived she worked her way out of despondency and now she says life is good again how could this happen she told me that late one autumn day

00:10:41 - 00:10:46 | Speaker 2:

when she was at her lowest do you have any idea no it's not from a musical i'm going to skip ahead

00:10:46 - 00:10:52 | Speaker 1:

a little bit see if this narration continues carry them just like those acorns one at a time

00:10:52 - 00:11:07 | Speaker 2:

well that sounds more like it do you know this now no this is a white stripe song called little acorns oh i think i've heard this before

00:11:07 - 00:11:28 | Speaker 3:

isn't it funny how like our pre-existing notion of somebody or something impacts our opinion of things because at first i was like what is this what is this this is not for me and then i hear it's the white stripes and i love jack white so much do you i didn't know that you had a real

00:11:28 - 00:11:32 | Speaker 2:

passion for him i understand why i think he's an incredibly talented interesting i'm not even like

00:11:32 - 00:11:50 | Speaker 3:

the biggest white stripes or raconteurs fan like the music some white stripe songs i of course really like others i'm indifferent on but just jack white as a person i love so much i think He's such a cool dude, and I love that he was doing upholstery pretty far into the White Stripe's success.

00:11:50 - 00:11:51 | Speaker 2:

Oh, I don't think I knew that.

00:11:52 - 00:12:06 | Speaker 3:

Yeah, he's got that third man records, too, that he does a lot of really cool, interesting recordings. I mean, he just seems like such a cool dude that I like that he exists. And then when I hear that's a White Stripe song, then I'm like, oh, I'm into this now. Yeah, right. Even though at the beginning I was like, this is not for me.

00:12:06 - 00:12:31 | Speaker 2:

And then I'm like, well, maybe this is for me. Well, you get zero points for that one. And I get, myself, I get negative points for playing a full one minute of a weird voiceover track. All right. Well, you know who gets negative points. It's Everly, honestly. Don't say it. No, don't say it. Everly gets nothing but infinity points. Yes, here we go. Take a listen to this. Ring in at any point.

00:12:31 - 00:12:32 | Speaker 3:

Iron O. Taylor Swift?

00:12:32 - 00:12:35 | Speaker 2:

Yep. You got it before they even wound up.

00:12:35 - 00:12:41 | Speaker 3:

I can't sing or whistle along because I'm out of time with it. Uh-huh.

00:12:48 - 00:12:52 | Speaker 2:

Shake It Off is the name of the song. Shake It Off. I was wondering if you were still trying to get to the song title. I was.

00:12:52 - 00:13:02 | Speaker 3:

I was trying to remember the actual name. That song is catchy as all heck. I love that song. I'm trying to be careful about my language because we are probably never really listening.

00:13:02 - 00:13:08 | Speaker 2:

But it also has one of the worst moments where she like breaks it down in the middle and does a little rap like why

00:13:08 - 00:13:52 | Speaker 3:

I feel like Taylor and I know we've got lots of Taylor stans in the audience and I say I stan Taylor I really do like her music but so many of her songs that are so great she'll do one thing that just kind of doesn't work for me and they're like my boyfriend got his new girlfriend and the hella good hair or whatever it is she says it's like oh Taylor we didn't need that or Darling I'm a nightmare wrapped in a daydream That song where people always thought it was I've got lots of Starbucks lovers I think the line is I've got a long list of ex-lovers They'll tell you I'm insane The song is called Blank Space It's a great song The production on Blank Space I love so much But the Darling I'm a Nightmare Wrapped in a Daydream And she kind of says it again

00:13:52 - 00:15:00 | Speaker 2:

And doesn't that kind of ring out Am I remembering that right Like the kind of music It kind of comes to The music kind of takes the background While she says that Yeah it's in the clear That's what I was looking for Thank you. All right. Let's try this, Luke. Let's see. You have three right, one wrong, unless I've made a mistake with my accounting. I want to play Ninja Gaiden so bad right now. I'm seriously. You still working on this? Yes. Good, good. Hold on. You're going to get it. Ah, Alice Cooper. That's right.

00:15:01 - 00:15:14 | Speaker 1:

Yes, I'm glad that one took you a minute. Yeah, man. That's great. But yeah, I knew once it kicked in, you'd get there. Dazed and Confused. This makes me want to play Ninja Gaiden and watch Dazed and Confused at the same time.

00:15:14 - 00:15:30 | Speaker 2:

I got in an argument with someone the other day about Parker Posey's career. And they were saying, oh, well, you know, she came to my awareness in Dazed and Confused. And I was like, well, no, it started with Waiting for Guffman. And then I found out that Dazed and Confused came out three years before waiting for Guffman.

00:15:30 - 00:15:39 | Speaker 1:

Oh, you know, I'm surprised it's not more because I associate those movies with such different points in my life. I'm surprised that they're even that close together.

00:15:39 - 00:16:00 | Speaker 2:

See, I always I think I get confused, both Dazed and Confused, Andrew, by the fact that Dazed and Confused is itself set in the like 70s. Oh, OK. Yeah. Even though it was made in the 90s. So I think, for whatever reason, I just thought it was a newer movie than it was, than it is.

00:16:00 - 00:16:32 | Speaker 1:

Yeah, because for me, that was a big high school movie. That was one of those movies where we watched it over and over again. It was just kind of on a constant loop in high school. Let's see. You want to keep going here? Yeah, we have some time, right? So let's see here. How about this? Let's give this a little shot here. Let's take it back a ways. Oh, The Beatles. I want to hold your hand. That's right. Thank you. I'll hold your hand. I won't let you crack my knuckles, though.

00:16:35 - 00:16:44 | Speaker 2:

I want to hold your hand. I know. I'm out of time. Yeah. You got that one pretty quickly. Beatles, Rolling Stones. Is it even a competition?

00:16:45 - 00:16:45 | Speaker 1:

Oh.

00:16:45 - 00:16:46 | Speaker 2:

Better band?

00:16:48 - 00:18:46 | Speaker 1:

Wow. You know what, Luke? what I think I'm you just pointed out to me that I I have to say something that I had never said or believed in my life before oh my gosh this is a big moment is everybody sitting down I was such a huge Beatles fan growing up like I still know more about the Beatles than I do about anybody in my life you really do it actually quite surprises me your knowledge but I've been trying to you know re-listen to some of my beloved Beatles records including Sgt. Pepper and like Revolver and it turns out all the all the songs that like blew my mind growing up the ones that are more psychedelic and intellectual I find them and I don't want to insult anybody who loves the Beatles I know they're beloved but like I find them so childish and corny and dorky and I was like going back to them in a couple of instances in the past couple of months and I'm kind of like wow the beatles i don't i don't i gotta say if i were maybe trapped on a desert island or deserted peace and love i mean you gotta say like at least the rolling stones i'm not saying they don't have corny songs here and there they had a very long career steelers wheel or what is steel wheels or whatever but like honestly no the the rolling stones probably have more songs that wouldn't make me kind of cringe at this point like and again the thing that really gets me is like hey I want to hold your hand the early Beatles stuff that was just seemed like oldies to me as a kid they didn't mean as much to me because I like the later stuff that was like mind expanding it's all like the mind expanding stuff that I find so sort of embarrassing now whereas the early stuff where it's just like I want to hold your hand straight forward all you need is love she loves you yeah yeah yeah actually all you need is love is later but anyway yeah actually I would probably go with the Stones now which that is a weird thing for me to say and realize about myself wow

00:18:46 - 00:19:30 | Speaker 2:

i can't believe wow i can't believe that we that we got here i would say and maybe because i like the mind contracting stuff from the beatles a lot like i did love all the early kind of you know teen pop teen bop stuff and then i like a lot of the you know big blackbird things like that i just i still feel like the beatles have way more and i love the rolling stones and the rolling stones have a couple songs that are some of my favorite i mean you know um beast of burden is like one of my probably top 20 favorite songs ever but there's so much variety with the beatles also i just was never that into the the stuff that was really out there of the beatles so that's i guess there's less for me to look back on and go oh this doesn't hold up for me because that was never for me anyway

00:19:30 - 00:19:59 | Speaker 1:

yeah you know okay i want to back i want to back off a little bit here i don't think i'm ready to say the rolling stones yet because i mean the thing is i don't even know the rolling stones that well. Like I had two, I wasn't even a, usually a greatest hits kind of guy, but I did have two Rolling Stones collections that I believe were originally like double vinyls. I had them on cassette tape and I think they're just like, um, uh, oh gosh, big hits and phased cookies was the second one and the first one I

00:20:00 - 00:20:50 | Speaker 2:

I can't believe I'm blanking on it, but, like, they're basically – you have these two records, and it's the – you know, it's kind of a cross-section of their careers, basically, what you need. And I loved those records so much. I'm sorry. You can tell I'm distracted that I cannot believe. Hot Rocks. Hot Rocks. That's what it's called. They're called Hot Rocks and Hot Rocks Part 2, Big Hits and Phased Cookies. And I loved those records, but I don't have – I literally do not have a Rolling Stones actual record. I only have greatest hits. So there's no way I can say I'm more of a Stones guy than a Beatles guy. And I'm looking also like and right now I'm focusing on some of the Beatles songs that I've revisited recently that have left me kind of embarrassed. But also they have all kinds of good shit in between that that I still love. So I'm going to stick with the Beatles for now. But I'm just saying that you're never too old to change.

00:20:52 - 00:21:10 | Speaker 1:

I mean, of course, I knew about the Beatles. My mom loved the Beatles. But the first thing I ever had from the Beatles was also kind of a Greatest Hits. It was that, I guess it would be called the Blue Album, which we've sort of talked about a lot. That was a Greatest Hits album. And I had that as a cassette, like a double cassette.

00:21:10 - 00:21:12 | Speaker 2:

Yeah, 67, 70, I think that comes.

00:21:12 - 00:21:49 | Speaker 1:

I got really trained on their Greatest Hits. And so I think that that made a certain kind of impression on me, too. There are still Beatles songs I don't even know. Because I never, I didn't get into, I really got into, which is the one that has Here Comes the Sun on it. And then has that like Mean Mr. Mustard, Abbey Road. I think I got really into Abbey Road. And I love that kind of like six song kind of ending that just runs, you know, from she came in through the bedroom window all the way through. The montage, yeah. I love that so much. But that was one of the few Beatles albums that I could really tell you about front to back. A lot of my knowledge of the Beatles just from those cassette tapes I had. I want to look at Rubber Soul.

00:21:49 - 00:22:03 | Speaker 2:

What's on Rubber Soul? Because I'd like to think that this one maybe would hold up for me. Because I remember Rubber Soul into Revolver was – we don't have to go on like this. I'm sorry. I'll just shut up now about the Beatles. I want to apologize to Everly. Yeah, I'm sorry. Here, let's get back to –

00:22:03 - 00:22:50 | Speaker 1:

But that's what you get, Everly, for putting a Beatles song on here. Two old-ass – sorry, I also swore now in front of a young person. This is what you get for putting a Beatles song on a list when you got two old guys. It's going to naturally lead us in some Beatles-related conversation. You want to go young? Yeah, I want to go way young. I want, like, Baby Shark. They're the world's most fearsome fighting team They're heroes in a half shell And they're green Go ninja When the evil shredder attacks The turtle boys don't cut him no slack He's a radical rat Did you hate that?

00:22:50 - 00:22:53 | Speaker 2:

Did you hate the It seems like you would hate them yelling

00:22:53 - 00:23:09 | Speaker 1:

It's a radical rat. I hated that in the way that I hated when it was Scooby-Doo and Scrappy, too. And Scrappy would swing it on a rope because I loved the classic. But I did love Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles very much as a kid. You want to do another one?

00:23:10 - 00:23:20 | Speaker 2:

How are we on time? We could just keep going forever, basically. I'm going to do this one. I don't think I know this song, so we might be setting ourselves up for another White Stripe situation. Take a listen to this.

00:23:23 - 00:24:01 | Speaker 1:

I have a feeling I'm saying that when you reveal it, I will kick myself because it sounds very familiar to me. I'm like the White Stripes song. It sounds familiar, but I can't place it. What is it?

00:24:01 - 00:24:16 | Speaker 2:

See, this song does not sound familiar to me. I'm going to try. I don't even know. And because it lists the 8-bit artist, not the original artist, I'm not even 100% sure that I have the right thing here. But here, I think this is the original here. Let's hope it doesn't begin with 60 seconds of somebody talking.

00:24:16 - 00:24:17 | Speaker 3:

And cool to me is...

00:24:17 - 00:24:29 | Speaker 2:

Oh, my gosh. It begins with someone talking. Okay, this is definitely the same song, right?

00:24:29 - 00:24:40 | Speaker 3:

In a straight line That's not really her style And they all got the same heartbeat But hers is falling behind

00:24:40 - 00:24:42 | Speaker 1:

Is this Olivia Rodrigo?

00:24:42 - 00:24:43 | Speaker 2:

This is Echo Smith?

00:24:44 - 00:24:44 | Unknown:

No

00:24:44 - 00:24:51 | Speaker 2:

I've never heard of this band before I don't think I've heard this song before It's called Cool Kids

00:24:51 - 00:24:55 | Speaker 3:

Yeah, they're invincible And she's just in the background

00:24:55 - 00:24:58 | Speaker 2:

I actually like it Yeah

00:25:00 - 00:27:57 | Speaker 1:

I do not know this song, but I like this song. Yeah, I like it. It looks like, let's see, this is the official video, and it was posted in 2014. So it's about seven years old, if I'm doing my math right. But, yeah, that's just us not being up on things. So that's a point taken away from you. No, just no points for you. No taking away. I'm taking away one from me. Oh, here's one. There's no way you're going to get this. I swear to God, when I figure out who let the dogs out. All right, there you go. And the fellas started the call, the Baja men. Who let the dogs out I'm giving you two points Just because that song puts me in a good mood I told you my big My hilarious short film That I once made and submitted to the I think it was the Stranger Short Film Festival Kamero Kev helped me JD and Thunder from the Stack of Dimes podcast I made it at KUOW in the performance space At least part of it And the joke was Well the joke was that I'm sitting in a director's chair And I'm being very kind of filmy about this film that I'm going to present called Forbidden Love. And then the video was just like three minutes of my dog, Flea, just humping people while they tried to vacuum. Because she had this weird habit. If you would vacuum, she would get up on your leg and start actively humping you. But then the big joke was at the end, we had a version of Who Let the Dogs Out, which my friend Megan Suki's husband, Britton, recorded like a real cool kind of like guitar, bluesy, jazzy version. and that was how we finished up the film. And also, wasn't the joke that the credits went on forever? Yeah, I lifted the credits from the movie Casino. Oh, did you really? Yeah, so the credits were... Well, I think what I did was I might have written in fake names, but I didn't even know what the jobs on a movie would be. But I remember just transcribing all the credits from Casino, and I think then maybe writing in fake names. But the credits were easily four times as long as the film, which was also the joke. I am guessing that you will know this band. I would be surprised if you know – well, not totally surprised, but you might not know the name of this song because I don't think this is something you jammed out to a lot. But take a listen. I know this, but I can't place it, but I'm going to get there. Oh. Led Zeppelin. It is Led Zeppelin. You want to try to guess the name of the song? Well, it's like ice and snow with a dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun. The Battle of Evermore? No. No, that's a different song.

00:27:58 - 00:30:00 | Speaker 1:

That is right. You have more Zepp knowledge than I gave you credit for. I get the lead out on occasion, Andrew. Yeah, of course. How could you not? On a two-for-Tuesday especially? What happens if you get the lead out on a two-for-Tuesday? Oh, boy. I'm sorry. This is making the listeners crazy that I don't know the name of this Led Zeppelin song. It's not like, it's not super intuitive. I mean, it makes sense, but I don't think they- Is it some weird Tolkien kind of thing? No, I don't think they ever say the name. It's called Immigrant Song. Immigrant Song. Oh, yes, of course. They come from the land of the ice and snow. Right, so it's about the Vikings, probably. Sure. Or something. What do you think you deserve for that one? Half a point? Half a point? I'll give you half a point for that. How are we on time here, Lucas? We got time for one more. Okay. I want to go out strong. All right, sounds good. So one more, and you want me to kind of give you a— You know the irony of me getting that sort of right but sort of wrong is that my one early—I've told this story many times—my one early experience with winning anything on the radio was when KZOK in Seattle used to play the polka-fied, like a polka version of a classic rock song. Oh, yeah, okay. And one day they played a polka version of Dire Maker by Led Zeppelin, and I called in, and I won the tickets to the comedy show, but I couldn't cash them in because I was not older. Because you're a minor. I have a history of naming Led Zeppelin songs. I have a history of success with this exact thing with Led Zeppelin, just not today. I have a question for you. This is going to help me maybe in future conversations, except I'll probably forget it. So we have one song. You want to do one more song, but you also want to get it. You want a home run here. You want to go up. But I don't want it to be too easy. Yeah, I was going to say, what is the pitch? If I wanted to give you a pitch in baseball so that you could clobber, would that be a meatball? What would you say? We want a what right over the plate for you Slow and Baby Bouncy Did you play kickball in grade school? Yeah I dabbled Kickball was the funniest thing because you could order your pitch Where I grew up You could say slow and baby bouncy I didn't know that Yeah, at Daniel Baggs.

00:30:00 - 00:30:15 | Speaker 2:

You could request the style of pitch that the person was pitching to you, and I was a slow and baby bouncy guy myself. I would say, like, again, if it's too easy, if it's like the happy birthday song, then it's no fun. But if it's too hard, err on the side of hard, and then if I don't get it, I'll just make you do another one.

00:30:16 - 00:30:43 | Speaker 3:

So a meatball is an easy pitch to hit. Yeah, a meatball would be, yeah. Okay, good. But I don't want it to be too much of a meatball. Okay, this one, that's the thing. I'm not giving, in fact, this is not a meatball. If you don't give this one, I'm giving you a meatball. This one, I think, I mean, you have this, Luke. I mean, I know. I believe in you. I believe you will get this, but it's not a meatball. Take a listen. I said nobody's listening. Are you guys listening now? Okay, take a listen. John Cage.

00:30:45 - 00:31:02 | Speaker 4:

Okay, hold on. That's a good joke. I'm giving you a point. Okay, I'm going to start this over. That would be, I wish I had done that. I wish I had thought of that. It's just eight. It's silence, but it's an eight-bit. Okay, here, take a listen.

00:31:02 - 00:31:44 | Speaker 2:

You'll understand the joke someday, Everly. Oops, this is harder than I thought. I just got an extra light, so that's good. I'm so close Oh yeah This is Oh Phooey This is Trainer Yes it is Is this all about that bass?

00:31:44 - 00:31:46 | Speaker 4:

It most certainly is

00:31:46 - 00:31:51 | Speaker 3:

Which has a lot of treble in it Surprisingly

00:31:51 - 00:32:09 | Speaker 2:

That's a great song By the way She can I like that song Rebecca No I'm confusing the great writer Rebecca Traister who writes really good meaningful work and Traynor is it Amy Traynor? Megan Traynor Megan Traynor yeah boy can she ever write a song man can she ever write a pop song? Does she have

00:32:09 - 00:32:11 | Speaker 3:

a bunch? I mean does she write for other people too?

00:32:11 - 00:32:26 | Speaker 2:

I think she got her start writing really hit songs for other people and then she started recording herself but that all about that bass song is that is catchy as all heck and then there's a she's got a couple other ones that are really good and sometimes they'll pop up on TikTok and I won't even know it's her and i'll be like this song is catchy and then i realize oh megan trainer

00:32:26 - 00:32:34 | Speaker 3:

i wonder what year that came out 2014 i was gonna say that seems about because we just heard that other song from 2014 which i i swear i'd never even heard before but i definitely knew this song

00:32:34 - 00:32:51 | Speaker 2:

all right that's gonna do it for the show uh everly thank you so much for sending that awesome little audio quiz in that was really fun that might have been my i to be totally honest with just from a getting to listen to music and try to identify it that might have been the most fun

00:32:51 - 00:34:16 | Speaker 3:

summer game for me so far yeah that's good you did really well by the way i mean i know that you're you're trying to downplay the pointage but it looks like you got one two three four five six seven and a half points so that's not bad it's not bad and i actually actually that seems low i bet you i left some off there all right let's go out with another version of a mcdonald's rock and gold song are you gonna take us out with oh my gosh is there any there's no way somebody would have taken this song i already have my song picked out but if there's a chance that somebody made an 8-bit version of this song. I will go out with that, but I think I probably picked too much. Yeah, the song I picked, it's not an obscure song, but it's too obscure for somebody to be making an 8-bit version of it. I'm going back to my Dance and Classics album here, and we're going to go out with the song Sea Cruise by Frankie Ford. This is where the McDonald's rock and gold tapes, there's a lot of corniness on here, and I think I've been presenting like the best of the best so far and i believe sea cruise is kind of a um kind of a bridge song into some of the maybe like we're dipping into maybe some of the second tier songs now i'm not right i don't want to make frankie ford mad at me um the estate of frankie ford i assume i don't know but i mean i like this song sea cruise but you know it's we're getting we're getting a little bit more corny territory here with this okay well this we're going to go out
