Episode 0307: "Sunglasses at Night" by Corey Hart

[00:00:00] Hello and welcome again to another episode of This Song Sucks. The podcast where musical pals get together and talk about the music that we hate. I am Josh Kavanon, I'm joined as always by Hayden. We're going to need a bigger boat Crawford. How's it going Hayden?

[00:00:24] It's going better now than I'm thinking about Jaws. I mean, I just assumed that you wake up every Saturday morning thinking about Jaws. I do like sharks quite a bit. And today our guest host is one Jay Lunchtime Cigarette Burgess. How's it going Jay? It's going great.

[00:00:45] Off the cuff with that one. I am smoking a cigarette. Yeah, I just said, I didn't have one prepared. I don't know Jay all that well. Hayden, you're really more familiar with her friend. I want you to tell us a little bit about him.

[00:00:57] Oh man, Jay is a great guy. We go back in the music world of Florence Muscle Shoals area. He's a member of a great band called The Pallies and I just love the death all those guys.

[00:01:07] I think maybe my favorite memory actually with UGA is our Nirvana tribute night at 116. They have every black Friday the Pallies will get together and do Nirvana covers but they brought me on as Lagerhead to do some of the more screamy Cobain songs

[00:01:23] and that was one of my favorite moments on stage. I think you almost passed out, didn't you? I did. Yeah, I did almost pass out once from screaming. I saw some videos of that and there was a lot of vein popping in that little neck of his.

[00:01:34] I think it was, Cavill was the sent one's apprentice maybe. Yeah. No we didn't do that one. Is that the one that was like almost died on? Yeah, I think so. It was one of them. Yeah. It was fun though. We had to do two.

[00:01:47] You could have to be more specific. The one I almost died on. It's on my Instagram for any listeners or curious. It's somewhere down there. Speaking of vein popping while singing, Jay has brought us today's song.

[00:02:02] That'll make more sense a little bit later on but Jay why don't you tell us what song we're gonna do today and kind of just a general reason why it grinds your gear so much. Corey Hart's Sunglasses at Night? I think is the official title.

[00:02:15] Yes, it's not actually I wear my sunglasses at night. It's just Sunglasses at Night. Yeah, which is also terrible. Why you give us such a buzzkill Josh? Now when y'all asked me to do it, me and the boys passed around like a ton of fucking

[00:02:31] songs but when I came across this one I read the lyrics allowed to Ben Tanner in the studio and he was like what the fuck are you reading? I was like this is the song I think we're gonna do for Hayden and Josh's podcast.

[00:02:47] So it's kind of decided then and there. I thought this was a country song. I just based off the lyrics. Well when Jay sent the list for some reason like I gravitated I was like oh yeah I wear my sunglasses at night.

[00:03:01] I think my brain invented a bad new country song because there isn't one that exists. I went searching to try to figure out like what I thought it was and I think my brain just invented something that doesn't exist. I wear my croquis at night.

[00:03:13] Yeah, wear my croquis at night in the back of the truck, cold beer or something or whatever. You know. Well we'll get all that straightened out here but as usual we'll run through some bio information on it. Turns out it's not a country song. No it's not.

[00:03:25] It absolutely is not. It would be I guess you would classify this as a new wave if you're being generous. I see it will Google classifies it as new wave first also synth pop and hard rock. Weird. Hard rock? How does... Okay.

[00:03:40] Anything with that shitty guitar tone usually gets the hard rock tag. I got you. Like the Van Halen tag, you know? Yeah yeah yeah. Okay that makes sense in the way that it doesn't make sense at all. Cool.

[00:03:50] If you hear a Stratocaster that sounds like it needs to be accompanied by fireworks you get the hard rock tag. We'll talk about the solo specifically for sure later but let's get a little background on this guy.

[00:04:04] As you might imagine there's not a whole lot of info very similar to our buddy Jimmy Ray from season one. There's a lot of similarities here between these two guys. Yeah well Corey Hart surprisingly enough was not technically a one hit wonder

[00:04:18] because he did have other songs top 10 and top 20 songs on the Hot 100 but so a lot of this is not independently verifiable so I tried to cobble as best cobble together as best as I could. Born Corey Mitchell Hart in May of 1962.

[00:04:33] Mitchell's just that's not a good name I'm sorry if there's any Mitchell's out there but... Well again we shared a picture of him currently and he's definitely got a huge Mitchell vibe for sure. Yeah the new picture is much more Mitchell vibe for sure.

[00:04:46] What I found in his early life is that apparently I don't know why but his family traveled a lot so he grew up in a lot of different places including Spain, Mexico and then Mount Royal Florida. What?

[00:04:58] Yeah that's where he stayed until his parents split up when he was 10. Here I go to Mount Royal Florida. Oh gosh. We can't stay away from Florida on this podcast. Yeah it's impossible but when his parents split up when he was 10 he ended up spending most of

[00:05:14] his time with his mother in Montreal Quebec so I think he's technically a Canadian citizen and as we'll see he's definitely Canadian and shit but as a result of all this moving around he's actually fluent in French Spanish and of course English.

[00:05:29] I also couldn't find a whole lot about his early career but there is an interview out there with him that he did with the CBC in 2019 which is just after his induction into the Canadian Music

[00:05:41] Hall of Fame and he gave a little insight into his early career and has starred as a musician in this interview. So according to Hart there wasn't really much to say that he had like a musical

[00:05:51] family or anything he just sang in front of the mirror and his family and like siblings just kind of that's what he did. No way. Is that the reason why he pukes his lips when he sings?

[00:06:03] Is that why you think? Yeah I'm not sure how like formally trained this guy is at all. I can tell you what he is formally trained in staring at himself in the mirror while making

[00:06:13] wine coolers alone. No doubt about it. When you watch the videos it's very evident he's been a lot of time staring at himself in the mirror. Taking his sunglasses on and off in front of the mirror. So his older sister apparently I don't know how this connection was

[00:06:29] made in an interview he just said she was a figure skater and was friends with Tom Jones. Y'all familiar with Tom Jones right? Yeah. Mr. Nile. The lounge singer? Yeah. So I guess they're just hanging out one day with Tom Jones and the sister suggested that

[00:06:50] Corey sing for him. He's 11 years old okay and apparently he's saying Michael Jackson's song Ben you all familiar with that one? No. It was from that movie that had like the talking rat

[00:07:02] in like the early 70s. Wait what is that movie? It's he was like Jackson was still like a kid but it was a big big song so he sang this thing for Jones. Jones thought he was good and said

[00:07:12] you know I can't really do anything for him but told his sister put him in contact with Paul Anka digging even deeper on the white guy singing thing here. Y'all know Paul Anka? I know of Paul

[00:07:24] Anka. He's kind of like a loungy type singer I guess would be the best way to put it. He actually wrote She's a Lady which is Tom Jones like one of his biggest hits. He also wrote the English

[00:07:37] lyrics to My Way the big Frank Sinatra song. Wow. So he's in that kind of like crooner jazz type world. I first heard about him when I was in college and someone sent me his version of Black

[00:07:50] Hole Sun with a big band. He did an album around then that was just like called Rock Swings and it's him just doing big band arrangements of I mean it's a testament to how good that song is

[00:08:03] because the arrangement is actually pretty good. It was a great song. Yeah it's kind of hard to mess it up. Were his parents archaeologists by chance? Do you have any evidence of that?

[00:08:11] No I couldn't find any info on his parents because it seems very strange I've been raised in Mount Royal because like it's not even like a place. It's just like an archaeological site of like a

[00:08:20] mound that is like studied. There's not even a town so like why would he be there? It could just be incorrect information again a lot of this is in unverified. I choose to believe it's not. I choose to believe he spent a lot of time in this.

[00:08:31] What big city is it near? It says the nearest city is Wallachia. Okay. Where is it? Let's see what Wallachia has got going on. It's like it's in the armpit of like just in the middle of Florida. Like probably actually not that far from Gainesville

[00:08:45] if I'm just glancing at the map. I don't have. Woof. That would probably be the closest metro but who cares? Yeah anyway there's there's Florida Taint on this episode already. Florida Taint. That's my lit biscuit cover band.

[00:09:05] So anyway he puts him in contact with Paul Anka and apparently Anka kind of becomes his like musical mentor and he learned the piano and began writing his own songs as a teenager.

[00:09:18] It said that he recorded with him too but I couldn't dig anything out of that. It actually found any evidence that this was his website biography. He said he recorded with Anka.

[00:09:28] But the next kind of like bit in this story is and this again is a story that he tells in the CBC interview. Is it 17 years old Billy Joel was giving a concert at the Montreal Forum

[00:09:39] which back in the day was kind of a big venue like the Beatles played there in the 60s. This has been like 1980 I think. So he went to the Billy Joel concert and he brought an envelope

[00:09:49] with a demo tape he made of him singing his songs and playing piano and just addressed it to Billy Joel and the rest of the members of the band and somehow this tape made its way to Billy Joel

[00:10:02] and his band. He went home after the concert and they called him. He had left his number there and it was like one in the morning. He said hey why don't you come over and hang out the hotel.

[00:10:12] So he sneaks out gets on his bike rides down the hotel and they get there and he gets there and they're like are you old enough to be here because I mean he's a young kid. Oh wow.

[00:10:24] So he didn't give a whole lot of details of that night but it was enough for them to invite him to come play and record with them so he moves to Long Island for the summer

[00:10:34] and is recording demos and playing gigs apparently with the members of Joel's band. Never said he like played with Billy Joel but he met him. Wow. So this is kind of his start getting in on American

[00:10:46] music scene I suppose. That's a hell of a way to get your training Willis. Jesus Christ. Well I mean it's kind of like I mean imagine like nothing like that would ever happen now just like you would

[00:10:54] just get ignored routinely you know. Yeah the band would be scrolling Instagram reels and then even look at your tape. Yeah yeah exactly just probably I mean it would never get to the band to begin with is I think more likely scenario but the earliest like verifiable performance

[00:11:12] that I could find of Hart was again from 1980 and apparently he participated in the world popular song festival which I had never heard of before this but apparently it was very similar

[00:11:27] to Eurovision contest are you all familiar with that? No I wasn't until I saw the movie. Right okay. Isn't it like a Will Ferrell movie about the Eurovision thing? Yeah it's something like that

[00:11:38] but it's a big it's a contest in Europe it's huge every year and like each country sends a band or a singer and they can beat and people like vote on it and so this was kind of a similar thing

[00:11:48] except it was held in Japan and each country would have like multiple singers and it would all be a contest I think it was just judged it was put together by the Yamaha corporation

[00:11:59] but apparently it was like a start for a lot of people like the first performances of ABBA they were called something else at the time Celine Dion and Brian Adams so you know it was kind of a known

[00:12:11] thing it only ran from like 70 to 89 but from the information I found is Hart played one of his own songs called Trudy Blue which I could find no recording of or any evidence with this thing

[00:12:24] sounded like damn it but he didn't make it past the first round so he lost immediately yeah I was really upset I couldn't find that because I'm sure it wasn't that much of a song

[00:12:34] writer Mr. Hart well apparently that's his thing as we'll see here in a minute so after after losing that competition he's plugging away for a few more years recording demos he finally gets a record deal with Aquarius Records in 1982 and his first album is released the next year

[00:12:51] it's actually titled First Offense because it is very offensive and how bad it is truth first yeah it was first released in Canada in November of 83 it's a very important

[00:13:02] timeframe to keep in your mind as we go forward and talk about the song of when this thing came out but it was first release like I said November of 83 in Canada not much buzz happening there not

[00:13:13] very successful when is there buzz happening in Canada anyway I guess when like a goose is in the middle of the road or something a new flapjacks restaurant opens I don't know this guy

[00:13:27] his teeth might be full of poutine much like Ed Sheeran was full of cabbage but was poutine just gravy on fries it's like gravy and cheese I think sounds pretty good to shake Canada

[00:13:39] God damn it to shake so anyway First Offense is released in 84 in the US and Sunglasses at Night today's topic was released as a single in January of 84 this song peaked at number seven on the

[00:13:55] hot 100 in September of 84 so it took a couple of months for it to appear on the hot 100 and then raise up to the peak at that time just for context that I think the number one song at

[00:14:06] that time was what's love got to do with it Tina Turner so that's kind of his competition a banger yeah and for some reason the US version of the album contain this song is like a minute and a

[00:14:18] half longer than the original Canadian version so like the one you go listen to on Spotify so long five minutes and 20 seconds long it's and the original Canadian one was like an actual radio

[00:14:29] length you know like 23 and a half four minutes we'll get back to specifics on this obviously just pushing through here the second single from this album was called it ain't enough and that actually

[00:14:41] peaked at number 17 so he had two top 20 hits in the US from this album the album is certified gold and it peaked at number 31 on the billboard 200 chart oh it's still only gold or this is

[00:14:52] yeah it's never been certified none of his albums have been certified platinum unless you count Canadian platinum he's triple platinum uh but you get platinum in Canada how many copies do you have to sell to be platinum in Canada 80 000 did they give you some platinum like moose horns

[00:15:15] sorry uh and here's here's a good little piece of information for you Hayden the album also includes a track it's the final track in the album called Ginny Fay uh and our your good buddy Eric Clapton

[00:15:25] plays a dobro solo on it oh fuck me i actually knew that but i didn't know he played a dobro which infuriates me oh you're gonna hear it here in a second just uh i want to get you pissed off as

[00:15:38] possible as early as i thought i was done with Clapton we already we've already i've set my piece on Clapton so apparently this happened because the the two producers on the album were

[00:15:47] pretty huge john assley and phil Chapman Chapman's work the who did you say did you say john assley asked Lee i tried to pronounce the t sorry sorry sorry the seven-year-old side of me

[00:15:59] can't go let that go but this unknown Canadian kid had he recorded in england phil Chapman worked with the who john assley worked with Clapton and so Astley liked this song so much he sent to

[00:16:10] Clapton and comes like hey i like it um according to heart Clapton had this to say about the song he said quote it's such a pretty song so easy to play the type of thing i'd write myself

[00:16:22] shut the fuck up eric god yeah i know in clapton surprising he didn't just steal it so here's here's Clapton's barting dobro solo on uh courier hearts jenny fey hey it's a media reaction

[00:16:58] why a dobro here you gotta listen to the whole song hayden you gotta listen to the whole song to understand it when you think about how this what that sounds like compared to the rest of like

[00:17:10] just sunglasses at night for instance it doesn't make any fucking sense at all yeah that's very odd it makes zero sense that they would put that on the record in fact i think the only reason why

[00:17:19] they did is because clapton's on it and it probably just i out for sure i kind of have the feeling that like Clapton came in with the dobro and courier hearts like talking to

[00:17:27] astley like is he gonna play the dobro on my fucking album it's like yeah man just listen courier courier listen courier just let him just let him play the dobro just shut shut shut shut

[00:17:38] shut your mouth just be pretty shut your mouth and it also sounds like clapton did like literally one take and was like yeah cool i'm out yeah that was a really shitty solo it sounds like the

[00:17:48] microphone wasn't even set in place right it's like 50 feet away he said no i'm not doing that again speaking so i'm gonna talk about his other songs i'll say i listened to his entire best of

[00:18:00] on youtube which yeah he has a music video for all i'm fucking i fucking feel bad for you i'll tell you one thing it really makes this songs pretty awesome yeah yeah i have i have another

[00:18:12] clip of one of his other songs later man it is atrocious oh yeah so anyway heart was actually nominated for best new artist grahame in 1984 based off of the success obviously of sunglasses

[00:18:24] at night but mercifully he lost and it was to our our good gal pal cindy lopper so hell yeah suck it anyway uh sunglasses at night did however win an award which was the juno award for best music video

[00:18:40] in 1984 is juno's in the step company no yeah that's it's a canadian grammy it's the canadian grammy's essentially and it was actually oh it was the first year that they had a category for

[00:18:51] music video so that's that's really the only accolade other than the chart success in the u.s that's really the only accolade this song is received so you know he kind of became a big star 84 85

[00:19:03] he started out touring opening for acts like culture club thomas dolby holland oates and rick springfield who is culture club um boy george okay oh yeah yeah boy george yeah and it's funny

[00:19:17] that he opened for thomas dolby because when you told us to do the song i originally in my head thought this was a thomas dolby song i don't even know that is either me either uh i believe he's the

[00:19:26] she blinded me with science guy okay okay yeah anyway hearts next two albums they had some success in the u.s you had boy in the box in 85 i heard that song it had three singles on the hot 100

[00:19:40] including his highest charting song this is odd sunglasses at night is not as high as charting song it's a song called never surrender yeah peaked at number three i recognize that one when i

[00:19:50] listened to it that's the only one i knew yeah i i couldn't place it out of my head just hearing the title but after hearing it yeah it's it's just a really lame like power ballad i really wish i

[00:20:00] would have recorded uh the the ride back home from burman ham a couple of nights ago because we were listening i was like look i got to listen to this and i gotta you know write some

[00:20:09] shit down and so we actually listened to a lot of the all you know like his top 10 spotify songs without he's got some remixes in there we didn't listen to those oh yeah this song has been covered

[00:20:21] a couple of times by various groups and they're all even worse so this album like i said it was gold as well and again it's diamond in canada which anyone want to guess what the diamond in

[00:20:33] canada is seven goose feathers i'm gonna go quarter mil it's actually a million so diamond in canada is equivalent to platinum uh in the u.s how many goose feathers is that probably three or four

[00:20:47] are you saying that goose feathers are the currency in canada is that what you're trying they're not you tell me they're not i'm sorry ali sorry it's not yeah so he sold a million records of this one so it was actually more commercially successful than his first album

[00:21:03] his next album was called fields of fire in 86 it generated a few more hits on a hot 100 so he has a total of 10 songs that have appeared on the us hot 100 one of which is actually on this album

[00:21:13] is a cover of can't help falling in love of course the song made famous by elvis and it is of course also certified gold in the u.s and this was the last of his albums to really have any success

[00:21:24] in the u.s he had a couple more later albums where you had like low charting hits on the hot 100 but no gold certifications after this and he continued to record an album basically every

[00:21:35] two years until in 1998 is that what is that when he found uh painkillers no i mean honestly the thing he claims to have never done drugs the entire time which blows my mind but all of his albums

[00:21:49] would chart decently in canada but his last album to chart at all in the u.s was the 1990s bang with an exclamation point and it peaked at 134 on the billboard 200 so i bring this up because

[00:22:01] this is the other song i have this included the last single that appeared on the hot 100 it's called a little love and it peaked at number 37 and it might be one of the biggest

[00:22:12] pieces of trash i've ever heard in my entire life and here's a clip of it great bang bang go bang bang you think the chorus is over it's not and when was this this in the 90s this was 1992 yeah i'm actually i remember that i remember

[00:22:50] that song for whatever reason i'm sure it's on like kasey casem's top whatever yeah uh kasey i mean my boy you write a chorus with regular words and then what gives him the

[00:23:02] audacity is like we need a shot on our chorus in here as well this is just not enough i mean the Beatles i gotta say kory hart's got his net worth a little higher than i expected oh yeah

[00:23:12] what do you got most most things are saying about five mil huh he also he also wrote some songs and produced some songs for other artists yes that's it got some points somewhere that's

[00:23:23] actually what i've got here my next note is he worked as a producer and a songwriter for selen dion in the 90s he co-wrote and co-produced three of her songs that were hits in canada

[00:23:33] and it wasn't my heart will go on but it was on the album that that song was on not bad for a boy grew up on a mound in florida and his wife also isn't she like a popular canada she's like

[00:23:46] yeah a singer that's popular in canada i mean she's no selen dion though oh hell no oh yeah selen dion's canadian too yeah and then didn't she didn't he work with some other canadian singer songwriter

[00:23:58] or singer and he wrote song he wrote some songs with them that were are actually kind of popular not selen dion popular yeah i mean he's he kind of acted i don't have the names but it was people

[00:24:10] i'd never heard of canadian folks but yeah he was co-writing he's do you go look at his uh the asscap directory he's got like 100 plus songs with credits on it everything that he did i think is

[00:24:21] a solo artist were songs he wrote entirely by himself at least he's got just the silk writing credit maybe he should have got another songwriter to help him he probably should have yes given the

[00:24:34] quality of what we've heard so far i would agree i'm i'm currently just reading a list of canadian businesses for funny titles poutine and more uh not not yet i let you know please tell me what you

[00:24:49] found you found called goose is in mousses oh goose is in mousses up for a rip so after 98 he takes a 16 year break he moves the bahamas with his family and just as a dad but since then he has released two more albums one in 2014 and one in 2019

[00:25:09] neither of which have had any appreciable commercial success the newest one isn't even available on Spotify it's just listed on his website and on the wikipedia page is that not the one that you

[00:25:20] sent the picture of yes i found it on spotify yesterday is that the 2014 one 2019 oh okay well it's not under kory heart it might not be you might be right but anyway they're not good

[00:25:34] but the next thing i have i've got a clip here before we start getting into the song i got two more little notes here but actually i'll skip to this little miscellaneous note apparently heart was briefly considered for the role of mardi mcfly and back to the future

[00:25:48] oh that makes sense to the point where heart stated an interview that steven spielberg himself sent a copy of the script to kory heart and invited him to come to a screen test

[00:25:59] heart declined stating that he wanted to focus on music probably the dumbest decision of his career yeah not not a good move this brings up what i want to talk about so the mardi mcfly thing so

[00:26:12] this guy i mean i guess you're like aesthetically he's a pretty good looking dude but he like he looks kind of like a million people like i can't figure out exactly what he looks like to me

[00:26:24] like if you guys ever seen uh are you twin peaks fans i'm not really no not me uh josh if you're googling google james hurley any of listeners are twin peaks fans this guy has major james hurley

[00:26:34] vise but he also kind of looks like a pervy or david decuffany he does but then like people online also like compare him to harrison fort a lot which i don't really get but that's a very

[00:26:45] common one it's just like it's all over the place and he also kind of looks like michael j fox honestly yeah he's got a very nondescript kind of look but anyway in 2019 kory heart was

[00:26:57] inducted into canadian music you guys want to know 20 things you will only find in canada sure give me give me number 17 and we'll move on bagged milk 20 things you will only find in canada that's what it's saying yeah i'm not saying this is an extremely verified source

[00:27:14] but uh bagged milk bagged milk i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna dig further in this bag milk thing i'll report back okay so as i said he was conducted into the uh canadian music hall of fame in 2019

[00:27:26] and he performed his hits never surrender and sunglasses at night and boy how they also call it they also call it moujous that's a that's a better name it's a better name yeah moujous is

[00:27:37] good this this performance is rough so i've got a clip of kory heart singing sunglasses at night at his induction to the canadian music hall of fame starting off rough oh oh each one gets worse he makes a wise decision here yeah

[00:28:40] i mean do these people not realize i mean he's he's he's 50 something years old this point he hasn't performed in nearly two decades he knows he can change the key right i'm sure are you sure ouch that was real rough so they bagged milk in canada for one

[00:29:00] the reason stems back to a time when plastic jugs were uh relatively rare within the canadian marketplaces so anything over a certain size was bagged in plastic film pouches and there

[00:29:11] are still sections of canada that have not stopped doing that you can go back buy a bag of milk riveting josh you're so mad at me right now they didn't they didn't they didn't have enough plastic

[00:29:20] for a gallon jug yeah i guess not that's weird they could just like use some beaver skin or something like a moose bladder or something a moose bladder well hey you ruined my the joke i had

[00:29:34] prepared but i must tell it anyway i'm gonna power through okay and i've talked about this before when we have people who can't sing songs that they sing as a young person but i'm just gonna

[00:29:43] let the the clip play for itself just a bit outside oh yeah that's good yeah so that's that's basically all i have on quarry heart i also there's a very strange how i found some of this

[00:30:00] information there is this guy on youtube he's got like 3 000 subscribers but he's been posting since 2011 and half of his stuff is just random videos of quarry heart performing and interviewing and you can't find this stuff anywhere else it's very bizarre so if anybody wants to find basically

[00:30:20] every interview quarry hearts ever given there's some random dude on youtube who's doing that out there pass he might be his biographer or something or his lover it could be secret lover

[00:30:33] i'll say one thing about him like i watched all the a lot of the videos too that went alongside the um did you watch the uh unplugged video oh my god no there's an unplugged yes and they still what's

[00:30:46] really weird about it is it's totally it's kind of different there's no synth or anything first of all the bass player is playing an electric bass so not unplugged plugged into an app on stage

[00:30:57] and the lead guitar player is playing a Stratocaster with an amp on stage so why no synths right exactly yeah or at least you know you could have had a piano doing it or something but

[00:31:08] they still have he's the vocal melodies kind of changes in the chorus on that version but they still have this guy just randomly singing the high pitched she in the chorus and it's totally wacky like it makes no fucking sense to me when i listen to this

[00:31:25] this is like actually mtv unplugged or just just an unplugged thing i i think it's just unplugged like maybe a canadian version of canadian there's just an ice fishing house on a frozen lake

[00:31:36] i knew we were missing a good cliche that's a good one wait so there is a separate kory hart had another guy singing the super high yelly she and then he just took the rest of the

[00:31:47] chorus mm-hmm yes probably a good choice yeah one thing i'll give him credit for is like he's very consistent in like the uh vibe and look that he's crafted for himself like all of his videos have the same aesthetic the same vibe the production sounds kind of similar

[00:32:02] he's got it he's very consistently terrible you can tell he carefully crafted this fucked up excuse for a personality that he calls you know whatever this is that's going on in the

[00:32:14] videos yeah let's let's let's get into the the song in the video and what do you want to start out with oh christ well i i think i kind of like some of the song quite a bit to be honest i think the

[00:32:27] instrumental is pretty cool but one of my first the first thing i notice listening to this is like it's kind of like uh his vocal styles a bit schizophrenic mm-hmm it's like he can't decide

[00:32:37] exactly how he wants to sing in the song because like in the course of like not even a minute he goes through three different complete tone types in his voice in the song i know i got you to

[00:32:45] pull a clip for that but he goes from like like an arrogant duck face swagger to like this shitty queen-esque vibrato and to whatever the fuck that scream is supposed to be just yelling or the yell

[00:32:56] i mean like as as a guy who can and likes to scream and like do aggressive vocals like that is i don't i don't know what he's doing with his voice there to make that tone what you do like

[00:33:05] in a metal context is like a growly sort of throat thing which is an affect that's appropriate for the genre whereas like cori hart in the situation is literally just screaming this

[00:33:16] because that's the only way he can hit the note yeah but it's also it just it's it's off it's like not quite there like like the note is there but it just doesn't sound like a scream i don't know

[00:33:25] what he's doing with his with his like vocal chords to make it sound like that it's very strange let's just play the clip and let the listeners let's hear this section my son Hayden's making his duck face now it's freddy markering really bad freddy markering

[00:33:57] to her and say Jay has just got this stoic like disappointed father vibe right now he sounds like a horny alley cat in that scream i mean he's i don't know i'm sure we're gonna get in these lyrics but i mean

[00:34:25] don't switch the blade on the guy in shades oh no yeah he's letting you know he's a badass immediately i mean really i mean i don't know i if y'all can help me make sense of the video and

[00:34:40] in the song in general i'd love to because it makes a zero sense yeah i'm not really sure what his actual goal is with his the personality like i say the personality is is consistent throughout

[00:34:51] the videos but i'm not it's still confused as if the what it actually stands for he's not really sure if he's a bad boy or like a crooner all he really is is like a neutered david bowie in that

[00:35:01] song that's a that's a good description too with the uh especially with the vibrato under the end of the yell like he just like i think it's kind of what he's going for but falling pretty pretty

[00:35:09] short yeah i mean a lot a lot of this is just it's it's i guess maybe kind of indicative of canadian artists he's kind of like a lot of people but not quite just not as good

[00:35:22] man i'm gonna get so mad yeah canna is coming after me what else you got a um i wanted to definitely talk about the guitar so i know jay also brought up something pre-production here

[00:35:32] about the guitar solo josh and i both identified a pretty blatant rip within it uh and jay was telling us that he it's around the tip of his tongue he can't quite figure out which song

[00:35:42] it's being ripped off with his guitar so so we're gonna we're gonna help him out and play it for you yeah i'll point out it's not just the guitar solo i mean this is the first part of the riff here

[00:35:51] is it is throughout both these songs good point i also want to talk about the actual guitar player but i'll do that after we play the clips all right so you want to hear the sunglasses solo first correct yeah do the sunglasses solo first

[00:36:33] yeah i keep going here right here he just keeps playing yes shut the fuck up why is he playing oh man this is the reason this is the sole reason like one of reasons is listening to guitar solos

[00:36:54] like that that have made me not really ever want to play a guitar solo i feel like like uh you know normal people probably think that's like incredible and and while you know he's shredding i'll give him

[00:37:09] that he's got a few shreddy licks shreddy blues licks shreddy blues licks bro yeah please tell me that's clapping no fuck no it's not clapping but we will talk about who this is in a minute

[00:37:19] but before we play the second clip so just play that play the front of that clip more time so everybody can focus on that lick we're talking about that just the one like answer lick before

[00:37:28] the solo starts right here yeah so jay thought it sounded familiar he's correct hayden and i thought it sounded familiar and i'm gonna say that it's a michael jackson tune correct it is

[00:37:47] michael jackson tune and it's this one yeah it is way more shredding oh yeah oh and it's and it's way better is this is this van halen playing this yeah yeah see that solo manages to do the shredding

[00:38:29] stuff but also like do some interesting melodic stuff as well at the same time because Eddie van Halen it's not just pure matrimony it goes somewhere that transitions back to the chorus

[00:38:39] yes yes you also notice too i don't know if you notice this hayden but the way that the sunglasses solo ends before the chorus like has that same kind of walk up with a little bit of like a

[00:38:51] trail on it in the almost the exact same way so there's a lot of similarities and it's again basically the same but just canadian oh my god so who played guitar who played guitar on

[00:39:07] the kory heart no i'm curious now guys name is andy barnett and so i immediately got obsessed with this because i was like why is this guy trying to rip off van halen so like like blatantly turn out

[00:39:18] this guy was actually like associated with anna songwriter for iron maiden at one point whoa which is like his bigger claim to fame i don't think they're really associated much anymore especially if you take look at his website and like how his life's going to these days but

[00:39:34] his other his other claim to fame which i could not believe which is so funny and i forgot to send josh the clip of this to play but he also and he still has this on his website is like a uh a

[00:39:44] reference he was the main guitarist for a one-time like joke band called full metal racket that featured the hoos roger daultery and tennis stars pat cash and john mackin row what yes that they do a cover version of zeppelin's rock and roll and they have a music video

[00:40:03] for it and like those guys are on there and he's playing the main guitar parts and it sucks ass so patrick mackin patrick mackin row what is he playing in the john mackereau is playing guitar

[00:40:12] is he holding a tennis racket like a guitar and pretending to play it there's like three guitar i had this like clip of like all of them soloing at the same time and roger daultery being flat

[00:40:22] like he always is uh and it was really funny i really hate that i uh got to send the uh clip but listeners it's actually on spotify they like re remixed it for a 2018 version this was recorded

[00:40:34] like decades ago but it's under the name roger daultery and the full metal rackets so that's if you if you really want to torture yourself i do it yeah so one thing to point out here is the

[00:40:46] timeline on these things because beat it came out in 1982 i think it was released as a single in february of 83 and heart apparently recorded this and had finished the album in august of 82

[00:41:04] however he hadn't written sunglasses at night he had to actually the record company was about to put a release date for the record and he said hey hold on i got the song i want to put on it

[00:41:14] and so they went back to england rerecorded it and it came out in canada in november of 83 so there's like a 10 month time span between when beat it hit in february and when this song this album was released so it's pretty close to like he probably heard this

[00:41:36] and copped it yeah right we're gonna we're gonna see a similar timeline on hayden's next point as well yeah it's almost the identical timeline um this this really stood out to me almost immediately

[00:41:46] as another like pretty blatant rip but i think it may be easier is to play the songs back to back before i've been talking about it all right so this is the intro to sunglasses at night dramatic bass

[00:42:15] yeah i mean i there's honestly there's really nothing to me the first 35 seconds of the song or fine before he starts singing i have no objections to this outside of the panning of

[00:42:27] that fucking synth it makes me sick like dizzy sick listening to it because it's just constantly going around and around and around it's like why would you do that yeah when you when you have stereo it's

[00:42:37] panning back and forth and it's pretty discombobulating uh but here's where hayden thinks he they may have gotten this idea from yes so this is of course sweet dreams by the rhythmics

[00:43:12] man a much better song yeah the much way better song so i think that it would have been evidence by what we've just talked about the reason i think this is pretty clearly what happened with

[00:43:21] with beat it and sweet dreams it's because when you listen to the rest of his catalog and none of it sounds like this absolutely nothing like this like infinitely cat like whether you like this song or not the instrumental of it is infinitely catchier than anything else

[00:43:34] he wrote i just don't think he had the chops do this when you when you examine the rest of his work he took it i'm saying it well so the one thing that i will give him credit for is

[00:43:45] the it's not an exact riff copy i mean not only is a different key but the chord progression is different from the urythmics sure and that kind of chord structure is actually pretty interesting

[00:43:55] it goes b flat minor g diminished uh to g major which is not a progression you hear very often in a pop song that is the one unique thing i can say about it but like the phasing octave

[00:44:08] synth line the sound of it even has the urythmics does the panning thing but it's not nearly as dramatic is the quarry heart thing it's i think you're right it's undeniable that they're just like

[00:44:20] hey this song is pretty awesome it's super popular let's write something like it absolutely i mean he definitely does his own thing with it but i i just have no doubt that his song would not exist

[00:44:30] without this one yeah and i think the same thing can be said for that just the riff that we talked about that down down out down down out yeah but that's that's everything that you had on clips

[00:44:41] correct yeah that's all i got i'll see you later bye guys i'm gonna fly north now my yearly migration my one big the thing that you didn't cover that annoys me about this song and then we'll kind of

[00:44:56] maybe get into the lyrics you know i i said obviously the chorus is just yelling there's the riff of billy jean it's just a rip there you're the next thing but there's this weird dropped snare in the pre-chorus that is attempting to sound hip but i think just

[00:45:13] weird and i'll just play that clip here i think it has the potential to be cool and maybe a different context but like when you do a drop like that that the fourth snare hit or whatever but with that synth kind of jumping up and down and being

[00:45:42] syncopated it just gives the sense to me that like it's a mistake yeah well usually when you have a beat drop like that it's really done a little more soulfully it's very plotting there yeah it

[00:45:52] just i don't get the effect i think that they were intending to get with it it just it makes it sound it takes you out of the groove is basically what i'm trying to say yeah for sure and i have to be

[00:46:01] honest with you i didn't even notice it listening to it until you just pointed it out but yeah it totally does fuck up the groove it's probably because you're too busy just hating the lyrics

[00:46:10] correct so we can get back into that i mean it started off that way yeah it was like very much so you could not once i read them you know i think we all as kids remember the song

[00:46:23] i guess i just always paid attention to i wear my sunglasses at night and really didn't even know what he said after that same make up words to go along with them i think that's probably a

[00:46:32] hundred percent of the people that listen to it yeah absolutely so i had i had no clue that he was saying so i can so i can and then and then so it's like like every time he follows it up

[00:46:42] it's it makes no sense so the first time he says that it's like watch you weave then breathe your story yeah they suck but why do you need sunglasses to watch that i mean wouldn't it blur

[00:46:55] even if you could see somebody breathe their story also the rhyme between blade and masquerade is just like he's really just a strike one there because it doesn't make any sense don't switch the blade on

[00:47:07] the guy in shades oh no don't masquerade with the guy in shades oh no with a guy in shade because you've got it made with the guy in shades oh no let's let's let's not just blow through

[00:47:17] it all too fast say and let's let's go line by line here because to me the worst one is the next first thing so i can so i can keep track of the visions in my eyes so is he trying to block out

[00:47:28] i don't want to see that once again it makes no fucking sense whatsoever well just the phrase vision in my eyes that's not visions you're just seeing things a vision is when you close your eyes and see something in your mind

[00:47:41] and either way sunglasses don't fucking help you do that exactly no all he's saying is a drunk him in the mirror duck-facing with a wine cooler also another thing i want to point out about that goddamn video why does he get in a telephone booth

[00:47:57] i don't know man like the lyrics have nothing it has nothing to do with him in a telephone booth talking on he always seems to be in some like vague sense of like trouble in his videos he's like kind of running from something or like escaping

[00:48:08] something but just never clear what it is yeah when you say the telephone booth i just i just googled bill and ted's excellent adventure to make sure that didn't come out first and in fact it came

[00:48:17] out in 89 so bill and ted probably stole this from kory you got one kory and then and then you know like to move on so i guess i guess it's a pre-course there's not really there's to me like

[00:48:32] there's no verses really like is the verse i wear my sunglasses at night part is that what it is yeah i would almost consider that like a better chorus it's more catchy like it catches you what is

[00:48:41] repeated 12 times at the end so there is i have this as my notes is what is the chorus even yeah yeah uh i don't know i would i would say that don't mess around with the guy in shahe just

[00:48:51] technically the chorus from song structure right but given that the only thing in the hook that people know is i wear my sunglasses at night wear my sunglasses at night yeah yeah

[00:49:00] yeah a confused song looks like a confused guy while while she's deceiving me it cuts my security has she got control of me i turn to her and say don't switch the blade on the guy in shades

[00:49:14] oh no and the way he says oh no when he sings it really kind of is i don't know embarrassing it is a weird move yeah i don't know guys i mean like i could go all through these lyrics

[00:49:30] it just makes no sense i think that's the reason why i like reading them and trying to make sense of them all because most of the time i can even if they're terrible

[00:49:38] i can kind of see where somebody's going with it this one no i have no clue oh no also something like it's just following your oh no point so like what he's saying makes sense in theory don't

[00:49:50] mess around with the guy in shades which is me oh no don't do it don't masquerade oh no don't do it then the last line is because you've got it made with the guy in shades

[00:49:57] and he says oh no again made which doesn't fit the context of the sentence he is literally just finding words that rhyme exactly yes and putting zero effort into making sure they make sense

[00:50:08] there's a hot topic on the youtube we'll get there in a minute this the meaning of the song is uh debated on there quite a bit what are they what are they saying we'll get there

[00:50:18] okay do you have anything else specific about the lyrics you want to point out jay the next uh we'll just go ahead and say it's the verse i guess i wear my sunglasses at

[00:50:26] not so i can so i can forget my name while you collect your claim is that is he getting a little spicy there what do you mean spicy yeah i'm not sure i follow you might be able to explain this

[00:50:37] to me maybe he's like you know doing a lot of oxy cotton getting a blow job but he don't do drugs hayden oh yeah doesn't do first of all oxy cotton didn't exist in 1983

[00:50:50] i know kwaylood crushed kwaylood okay there you go that's more appropriate maybe he's drinking a bag of milk while getting a blow job are getting his bag filled with milk am i right

[00:51:08] we gotta have a canadian here soon to talk about this bag milk thing i want to start a podcast about weird food items i think i'm done with songs and probably probably the weirdest

[00:51:17] verse line if we're that's what we're going with i wear my sunglasses at night so i can so i can see the light that is right before my eyes what like you know what i mean like you're wearing sunglasses

[00:51:28] they're dark i would think you know like you could see the light a little better if you weren't wearing them yeah to me this is the only lyric i think that comes close to making any sense because

[00:51:37] if he was like maybe saying something like he didn't want to get blinded by the light in front of his eyes then sunglasses would make sense but he clearly says that he does it so he can see them

[00:51:48] i guess so i did you mentioned that you found something about the genesis of these lyrics jay what did what did you find yes what i found was apparently wherever they were cutting this

[00:52:01] record at i guess the air conditioning unit and the heat or whatever whatever time of year they were cutting it anyway it was blowing straight down on where the console and the engineers would sit and producer would sit and so apparently it was blowing just dust and shit

[00:52:19] straight out of it and so they would wear sunglasses to keep the dust out of their eyes during the session and when he was writing the song he was just apparently just you know

[00:52:32] we all do it writing songs where you just make up words because you got a melody and so you're making up shit trying to figure out stuff and apparently he would just over and over say and

[00:52:41] i wear my sunglasses at night so he had the line nothing else that makes that makes way more sense i found that same story unfortunately there was nothing to like source to verify it however

[00:52:50] what i did find was a contradicting story this was from like a i found this random blog post from 2009 this this person making fun of how bad the lyrics are and it referenced the wikipedia page which at the time this would have been 2009 actually said that Hart stated

[00:53:09] that the lyrics were supposed to be about a totalitarian society that made everyone wear their sunglasses at night i think that's probably bullshit because he's just saying what was in the video right essentially that was kind of the idea behind that and so somebody clearly

[00:53:23] went back and said no this is actually what happened i think i think that story about the air conditioning originated from phil Chapman the producer which would make more sense than some 20 year old kid cori hard at the time you know trying to come up with some backended

[00:53:37] bullshit excuse interesting you say that because this is going to come up again i'm just going to foreshadow this comes up again in the youtube section the the totalitarian society thing interesting yeah well jay unless you got something else specific you want to harp on it might be

[00:53:50] time for hayden's youtube corner yeah let's do it lord let me tell you boys like it's always hit or miss digging through this stuff but this one was a gold mine of weird shit going on

[00:53:58] i've got two and a half pages of youtube comment notes which is the most i've ever had well good thing we got to it relatively quick just want to start off that if if the listeners

[00:54:08] have not yet pulled up this video like please please watch this thing the official official music video correct the official music video is hilarious he created the duck face yeah he did create

[00:54:20] the duck face he definitely created the duck face no doubt about it anyway so right off the bat there's a pretty heated argument over the song meaning that yeah i alluded to so the original

[00:54:30] poster named brett says as like as if he knows he said actually the lyrics are pretty deep he's basically saying that he's nuts about her but he's not telling her not to deceive and take

[00:54:40] advantage of him the sunglasses are assembled for his self-respect i don't i don't know what the fuck that means but it elicited a bunch of responses of arguments with the bread i know

[00:54:50] whenever i see a guy with sunglasses think man that guy has a lot of self-confidence and respect yeah exactly yeah not that it's like he's hung over his fuck and it's sunny outside

[00:55:02] or has daddy issues like brett probably does so rabbit says no this song is about him trying to ignore his partner cheating on him so basically the complete opposite of what you said followed up

[00:55:15] by money money who says no the song is about cocaine i mean that would make more sense i think i'm on the cocaine bus so far uh this is followed up again later down i'm sorry i'm just imagining

[00:55:27] the cocaine bus like going down the road like white powder just coming out of some exhaust vent people just running around sniffing really hard anyway swami fuckingata says fuck i thought this was about how hard it is to do a sudoku puzzle

[00:55:43] drinking sake and banging geisha all at the same time and it's all brought home by my favorite comment uh jeff bosco says i sell cocaine and cocaine accessories but all jokes aside there does there does seem to be a serious push for this song being

[00:56:03] about drug cocaine abuse from in the comments but once again he does not in direct contrast to him saying as new drugs but yeah he has this story about when he was recording this you know he's

[00:56:14] this green kid and the producers recording engineers against musicians in there and they're all doing he says that they were lines of coke as long as the console so already it kind of sounds like a

[00:56:24] made-up story uh and they're doing lines and they're just like hey your turn he's like what no i don't do drugs i've never done drugs i just pout maybe he should have tried doing drugs yeah that's exactly what i was saying

[00:56:41] minus sparks is fucking creativity a little bit in the songwriting so i've got just like some kind of general weird ones before we get into the next theme izzy says the 80s were a peculiar period weren't they yeah putting it put a genius alert izzy yeah

[00:56:59] this shit like this is the perfect example something would only happen in the 80s you know this video for sure dude b says don't be ashamed i wear them in the shower which is probably to hide his little dingus huh that was my thought

[00:57:14] you can't stand the side of that little dingus flops around down bring it back always goes back to the dingus right i haven't talked about tga fridays yet so i went to tgi fridays recently because we talked about it all the previous episode

[00:57:32] we talked about we had a bit about eating jalapeno poppers and i was stuck in the suburbs waiting on a something from the mac store the apple store and i guess it's going to be two hours

[00:57:41] and i was like fuck what am i going to do in the suburbs for two hours i'm going to go tgi fridays for an instagram story so but i'm telling the story i'll fuck it please do yeah we go in there

[00:57:51] this is one of the this is a perfect representation of the great resignation like the kind of turmoil that is going on in like corporate restaurant america right now because we tried originally to go to buffalo wild wings which is the power move but they were closed with

[00:58:03] like a fucking fence built around it which is really this is like a nice everything is like functional in the suburbs is not like a bleak i don't know it's very very odd so i was like well

[00:58:13] there's tgi fridays here we were just talking about the podcast why not this will be funny we walk into this place i've never been in one but i expected you know you know when you

[00:58:22] walk into chili's things just things work you know and you expect it to work see host or hostess so i walk up and there's someone standing at the host stand who's not not a host

[00:58:30] he's got like a server stuff on and he looks real pissed and he's telling this older lady that they can't serve her i couldn't get the exact reasoning but i think he was based on my

[00:58:40] like looking around the building and seeing that there was nobody else inside the building with an employee closing on i don't think they had the staff to serve food whoa so the lady says

[00:58:48] well we'll just wait then and goes like angst storms over to sit on the bench and you can just see the hatred in the guy's eyes and he just vanishes and so there's like 30 people standing

[00:59:00] at the host stand and nobody's coming i stand there for like 10 minutes and i look around there's nobody at the bar there's no server on the floor the music's like not playing nobody

[00:59:10] who there are people at tables but nobody has any food they're like i don't think anybody's here like i don't think there are any employees at this fridays right now other than this one guy

[00:59:20] who just vanished what time was this it's like two in the afternoon well no they're on a saturday they're on the back they're on the back listen to quarry heart sort and coke and drink it back to milk

[00:59:30] anyway i want everybody to know i tried to go to a fridays but failed i'm gonna have a real hard time editing that down to actually make sense in the context of this episode

[00:59:41] so thanks i have never been to a tg off it was uh it was something else it was a unique experience to say the least red robin for life yeah red robin is fully endorsed by this podcast that would never happen in a red robin yeah

[00:59:55] absolutely not out there i've been to red robin what do i know what are we doing you were talking about youtube themes apparently do i have to go back to that

[01:00:04] no can we just talk about you were bragging about how you had two and a half pages worth and now i hate them all okay so it's anyways so being serious this is where some weird stuff starts to happen like i don't

[01:00:19] there's plenty of examples throughout history of like you know people might may go up to a retail store and like tell the service person too much about their life because they're lonely like youtube

[01:00:27] is a weird place for people just keep they just give strange misinformation to the public that i don't quite understand why they do and this first one is by a person named don stearman

[01:00:37] and he says when i'm driving down the highway at night i turn this on that's all he says and like 15 people like the comment so then he comes back and edits the comment and says like thanks everyone

[01:00:48] so much for for adding likes to this post and it's like what what is wrong with someone who like needs 15 likes on a youtube comment section to like not shoot themselves i mean it's like

[01:01:01] this is like what's wrong with like humanity right now like like why does that matter at all if 15 people click a thumbs up on that it's not even funny on a kory heart music video nonetheless

[01:01:13] exactly like why like why do you care if people did that like i don't know what's going on with that person i feel bad for them just bum me out real bad well this continues so like

[01:01:26] there's a whole theme of like what makes people share this shit so i'm gonna start with this guy named chrispen handley and chrispen has this kind of long monologue here that i'm gonna read

[01:01:36] it was the summer of 82 i was 16 and just got in my first car a u 75 paniac transam the previous owner i guess had left this tape in the car because i found it under the seat one night i went to

[01:01:48] pick up this girl i like to finally agree to go out with me after i spent the better half of my sophomore year trying to date her her name was liz we went to a bluff called the spot over

[01:01:57] looking the whole city she put in this tape and we just sat and talked about life i took her home and we kissed under her doorstep and then her dad opened the door it was embarrassing

[01:02:06] and he looked mad at first but then smiled and liz and i wave goodbye to each other then i had to move because my father's job was relocated well liz was killed just liz was killed just a few

[01:02:16] years later when crossing the street one day they never caught the guy who did it then the bluff where we had shared that moment was demolished make way for new homes on the

[01:02:23] hill i can't ever go back to that moment that one moment in the 1980s with liz at that bluff but i can remember it every time i listen to this song what the fuck okay right okay so this immediately

[01:02:36] like set up some red flags for me like tons of comments go on because people like i don't often like read these out loud but like it's very common people like put their sob stories in

[01:02:45] comment sections especially if it's like a sentimental song to like fish for compliments or like in words of encouragement when they've like been through some sort of trauma but this one was like

[01:02:53] i was like what's actually going on here this is a little bit different than that that's like a very like constructed story right so the comments are flowing in a lot of people like giving condolences

[01:03:02] you know like damn bro really sorry to hear that all you can try to do is keep moving forward one person says i literally cried halfway through this story i wasn't even at the sad part yet

[01:03:11] i'm so sorry for your loss so after a lot of this goes on chrispen comes back and it's like i made it up you guys i was only one year old 1982 there was no liz no bluff no kissing on the door

[01:03:21] step i just wanted to prove a point that these sentimental stories are bullshit and the culture i see on youtube where these stories automatically get thumbs up needs to stop my comment was in

[01:03:31] response to another sentimental story i saw under this video from another user that you guys made the number one liked comment you never know who is telling these stories but you know they get

[01:03:39] the thumbs up this is why it needs to stop no more sentimental bullshit on youtube uh so then it starts getting a little juicy yeah so the next guy this guy i'm craig johnson which is just

[01:03:54] cracked me up for some reason the name he obviously didn't read the previous confession and just like immediately starts typing right and you saw i heard about this the guy that hit her was driving at

[01:04:04] night and unfortunately was wearing sunglasses at the time and didn't see her a tragic coincidence right so he just like starts lying this guy just starts lying and like adding to the story

[01:04:16] and so chrispen comes back to him's like excuse me what do you think you're doing can you not see that i worked hard to make up this fake story for a thumbs up now you're trying to steal my

[01:04:25] limelight with an even faker story but yet one that references the song if i were a drug viewer on a corner and this would be like you trying to come over and sell drugs right

[01:04:32] next to me on the same corner it's my carner brah don't try to upstage me so so then now we have like a turf war over fake sentiments this is this is literally like a graduate

[01:04:43] level internet sociology course happening in front of our eyes right here oh my god it's like so at the end here chrispen is like doing the thing that he's bitching about by the end of that because now

[01:04:53] he's mad that someone else is trying to take his limelight because people are paying attention to him for making up the story will the craig johnson ever come back though no craig johnson

[01:04:59] didn't come back unfortunately we lost him in the ether i had already spent too much time or i would have like internet stopped this chrispen guy uh see what's going on with him i may still do that

[01:05:07] just in your spare time after this bother josh for the random part of another episode but i've got one more closing thing unrelated to that entire fucked up saga this is in reference to the totalitarian

[01:05:18] society comment that josh made earlier frisky says there could be a massive eye infection epidemic that would indeed require us to wear sunglasses at night just like we were forced to wear masks every day now oh my god let's go brandon am i right frisky

[01:05:37] all right i'm done i'm gonna have oh my god that was kind i was actually pretty i was not expecting any of that so i know thank you i was i was very uh very excited while i was going on so i

[01:05:50] honestly want i may go back to this youtube section and like find this game and like keep going past it because like i there's so much going on or you're just gonna have to have a

[01:05:58] separate episode of just youtube comments maybe we'll have a bonus episode of just this youtube series with jay again at the end of season for i go like i spent six hours going through it well i think

[01:06:10] jay has been patient enough to listen to you go through first a tga friday story and then whatever this nonsense on the youtube hey look jay listens to the podcast he knows what i'm gonna do yeah

[01:06:21] yeah he's our number one fan don't introduce me to jimmy ray and i'm still pissed off about him i actually know what's funny is that in my attempt to try to find something about kory heart you know

[01:06:35] what i looked at what's that jimmy ray linked in oh did you really did you find him on there there's too many yeah well there's too many kory hearts to go through i don't think he has he has

[01:06:44] a linked in he has a facebook that's just dumb but i mean he's kind of he's fading off into the distance just much like uh mr mr ray or johnny rockets as you like to call a maiden

[01:09:01] be familiar with the polies please go check them out just maybe buy a by a record or a t-shirt instead of just streaming on spotify can asshole yeah i know fucking dicks yeah where where can we

[01:09:38] on some of these other ones too is it district it's not district no it's straight up napster i mean like okay yeah so you're okay i see i see they also don't donate millions of dollars to

[01:09:50] defense contractors either so that's a good thing what's up what's up with this donate i've been hearing this recently donations to defense contractors what's up with the ceo of spotify inside donation but is investing a fucking ton of money in like some european

[01:10:07] ai defense group which if you go read the website it basically is they're going to use it to do surveillance on people gotcha oh great he's probably leveraging all the data he collects

[01:10:17] via spotify to keep tabs on people and sell that show he'll be in a rocket with space jeff in no time okay on that note we'll end it hayden thanks as always jay thank you for you don't mean that
