[00:00:18] Speaker A: Welcome to Friendly Competition, a podcast to discover the best of all time. I'm Nick Carey, alongside my co host and best friend, Cody Lena. Discuss various pop culture topics and narrow down to truly the best of all time.
[00:00:30] Speaker B: Or as we like to call it, the boat. Before step foot on the boat, we put him to a sweet 16 style tournament. We argue each round till we decide a winner. Nick, what criteria do we use when we decide who steps foot on the boat?
[00:00:40] Speaker A: Whatever the hell we want. Cody, you want to tell them what we're talking about this season?
[00:00:44] Speaker B: Absolutely. We're talking. We went back into my high school years, Nick's middle school years, and we tried to incept ourselves back into that mind space and we couldn't remember anything except these throw down ultimate bops. This is like kids bop, except it's millennia. Wait, we should do a millennial bop. We just rereleased old kids bops. But we. They're not kids Bob versions, they're the normal versions. But they're the exact track list of the original kids bops.
[00:01:08] Speaker A: I think they just call that. Now that's what I call music volume 1314. It's probably around this time. Wait, no.
[00:01:15] Speaker B: Do you think we could get sued if we started our own record label that released things and we called it now that's what I called music. And we just do music that's old.
[00:01:25] Speaker A: We just. Just put together playlists like they did.
[00:01:27] Speaker B: And we're like, look, it's like. But it's literally the exact playlist from now that's what I call music one.
[00:01:32] Speaker A: We just changed the name, actually. I think we could. I think going back to your other idea, because the thing about kids bop is renown Lee, they change the lyrics, right, to make it so that way it's always friendly that any kid could listen to it. So, like, yeah, why don't we go back and do the kids bop frequently? I'm sure they covered it. They had to. It was such a big hit that they just like, we have to do it. We have to calm down. So. And then we just cover it. But then in as adults. So it would then be adults bop. But it's still friendly for the church.
[00:02:07] Speaker B: Did you imagine Petey Pablo in, like, a Baptist church is getting down? Hell, yeah. That's what we're talking about, dude. We're talking about kidnapping Petey Pablo and making him do a service at the Vatican.
[00:02:23] Speaker A: I don't know if this is true, but Petey Pablo might be in prison right now, so we might have to do a prison breakout to go get Petey.
[00:02:31] Speaker B: Pablo.
[00:02:32] Speaker A: I know he was. I know he's been in jail at some point, and that's why his success kind of waned a little bit.
[00:02:39] Speaker B: No, he's released in March 2014. He's out.
[00:02:41] Speaker A: Oh, he'd been out.
[00:02:42] Speaker B: Pablo's out of jail. He baying out.
[00:02:44] Speaker A: We gonna go the ten. Oh, yeah. So we could do the 20 year with him.
What a.
I don't even think he's going as hard as he. He's like, I don't really do. He doesn't even do half the stuff he did in freak anymore.
[00:02:57] Speaker B: He's, like, not. Well. He didn't do much in freak league either, if you actually listen to the lyrics. Yeah.
[00:03:02] Speaker A: So it's even worse now.
We're not here to talk about freak week. We already did go listen to Group A. Here we are in group C. So we do have that group A and group B champion. We took 16 of the top songs from 2004, gave to our bracketologist. They kicked it back to us, randomized it. So here we have in the two seed leave, get out by Jojo, going against the 15 seed slow motion by juvenile featuring Soulja Slim. And then we also. We have the matchup. Seven seed the reason by Hubastank, going up against the ten seed, naughty girl by Beyonce. Cody, where do you want to start?
[00:03:40] Speaker B: Let's do lead, get out versus slow motion. These are two songs that I both had to refresh myself with, man. Dude, this is 2004. Both these songs did it. They got it. A 15 year old acting hard about a breakup. Yeah, that's 2004.
[00:03:55] Speaker A: I will say this. I think. I think leave is, like, the only.
[00:04:00] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:04:01] Speaker A: Lev is, like, the only one that was written specifically towards a middle school audience. You know what I'm saying? Like, yeah. This song, she herself is, like, 1415. Like you said in the. In making the song, the music video is set in a high school. You are meant to be like, this is for you. These are your emotions. But for some reason, it goes so much harder. Like, I know it. I know why.
[00:04:28] Speaker B: It's like 40 year old people breaking up, being like, no, the only person that understands me is Jojo.
[00:04:32] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, that's what's wild to me, is like, we were. We were of age to listen to this song going through our own breakups.
[00:04:41] Speaker B: Right. That was hard, too, because no one feels more or more strongly than 13 to 15 year old. Right.
[00:04:48] Speaker A: Although we have very few places to kick people out of. Do you know what I'm saying? Like, leave, get out. It's like, of where, like, you don't even have. You don't even have your own car right now. Yeah, it's like, leave. Leave this classroom that I am in.
[00:05:02] Speaker B: I can't. I've got to take this quiz.
[00:05:04] Speaker A: Yeah, like, you don't have your own home. You can't just be yelling out, like, in your own home.
[00:05:09] Speaker B: Leave.
[00:05:10] Speaker A: Get out. Your parents, like, wait, what's going on?
[00:05:12] Speaker B: So if you watch the video, she's in a school. So it's like, she's like, saying, you gotta get out of the school right now. It's like, dog, I literally can't. This is the district I'm in. I've been trying to go to that other school for two years.
[00:05:23] Speaker A: I wanna interview someone, though, who was, like, 25, maybe even, like, 30 years old, getting, like, a 30 year old going through divorce. Did this song help you? Or were you like, this is ridic. I can't be singing some 15 year old song about breaking up. Like, do you know, like, if she was, like, if she was, like, 18, I'd get it, right?
[00:05:44] Speaker B: If it's like.
[00:05:45] Speaker A: It's like Billie Eilish wrote. Wrote the really great song for Barbie this year. That's a really good kind of break. Like, and she's only 20 years old, but you're like, oh, this is really good. But there's something so specific about looking at, like, a 15 year old girl. The music video is high school. And if you were like, she fucking gets it, dude. She fucking gets it, though.
[00:06:06] Speaker B: Or could you.
[00:06:07] Speaker A: Or, flip side, you're being broken up with. You're an adult person being broken up with. And you just hear her be like, get out. Leave right now.
[00:06:17] Speaker B: It's the end of you.
[00:06:19] Speaker A: And you're like, wait.
[00:06:20] Speaker B: Oh. Or the nightmare that you are, you. You and your wife, your life is. Your marriage is falling apart behind the scenes, but you're trying to keep it together for the kids at the moment. You know, you're talking like someone's having an affair. It's all bad. And then your 15 year old daughter walks by going, leave. Get out. Right now. It's end of you and me. And you're like, girl, you don't even know.
[00:06:42] Speaker A: Or you're like, what'd your mom tell you? What'd your mom say? You know, she hasn't been faithful the whole time either. Okay. I just want you to know that. Yes, mine was more recent, but when we were dating, I know about her and Steve. I know about it.
[00:06:56] Speaker B: What? Jojo Bob? Yeah.
[00:06:58] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. No, no, everything's good between me, your mom. Yeah, we're fine, we're fine, we're fine, we're fine.
[00:07:03] Speaker B: Everything's good.
[00:07:04] Speaker A: She doesn't, she's not, she's not kicking me out. Okay. That's okay.
[00:07:07] Speaker B: Nevermind. Christmas, I think, but slow motion for.
[00:07:12] Speaker A: Me, here's the thing. There I was once again, you have to remember, I was 14 at the time. And I heard, and I hear the song slow motion for me coming on the, coming on the airwaves, and for some reason, I don't know why, but I remember this was like the first time I had heard that. Like, to take it slower. I'd always thought that lovemaking was something to be done fast, fast and aggressively.
[00:07:35] Speaker B: Nick, I'm looking at the. I had the slow motion music video playing in the background on mute just to get re acclimated with it. I need you to share your screen with me or let me share my screen with you right now.
The slow motion music video.
[00:07:48] Speaker A: There you go.
[00:07:49] Speaker B: Juvenile looks like he is a make a wish kid who wanted to be a hip hop artist. This whole video, dude, he looks so out of place. The whole video. It's just him with all these hard guys and he's always out of.
[00:08:02] Speaker A: Right now, just, just for context, I, we understand that this is an audio medium. Right now. He is around some of the hardest dudes, and they are all wearing black shirts, like blue jeans. Everyone's got like do rags or fitted caps on he juveniles. Much smaller than all of these men too. These are all defensive linemen. Juvenile is the tiniest little man you've ever seen in the baggiest. More baggy than anyone else's clothes. Bright yellow.
And I know it's like, oh, he sticks out. No, no, no. He sticks out in a bad way.
Like if you and all your home, like if you and your homies were like, yo, we're gonna look hard tonight, boys. Let's like that would be if, like, we all dressed up in like nice suits and then someone shows up in one of the dumb and dumber suits and you're like, no, that's not the memo. Why are you looking like that? Don't do that to us. You're making us look like idiots right now. So is that anything I, is it anything that juvenile? We've only done, we've done very few, brackets, but one of the ones that we did, did have another. I believe it was the 99 bracket. It did have juveniles back that ass up.
[00:09:10] Speaker B: Yeah, and it didn't make it very far.
[00:09:11] Speaker A: And you're very upset. And he's back. Juvenile had two songs of the summer.
[00:09:17] Speaker B: Yeah, but here's the problem. Slow motion isn't that good. And it did not stand the test of time in 2004. Was slow motion good? Do we appreciate slow motion? Yes. And we got its play. But if you played it now, I would. Might not even recognize it, and I probably wouldn't have remembered it was juvenile.
[00:09:32] Speaker A: Sure, sure. I didn't. I forget that it's juvenile. I will say that if Jojo comes.
[00:09:37] Speaker B: On, I'm blasted back to 2004 violently.
[00:09:41] Speaker A: And this is. And I will say this song has had its, like, own little renaissance. It's been that one, like, millennial song that we're all like, oh, wait. We all collectively remember Jojo. Like, it. It felt like it was a secret we all kept inside of us that we all had been watching Jojo.
[00:09:59] Speaker B: We saw Olivia Rodrigo breaking all these records, coming out of nowhere. Every song on her first album, certified platinum. She's a teenager making all these breakup hits. Really the voice of a generation. All the zoomers are like, yeah, we've got our. This is our first, like, pop artists. That's going to be a really big deal. And we're like, no, no, millennials. No, we had Jojo. Yeah, we had Jojo. We did it first. Hey, we did it.
[00:10:21] Speaker A: Yeah, we've got that. We already had. We had. We have Olivia Rodrigo at home.
[00:10:25] Speaker B: Okay. Not, by the way, Olivia Rodrigo, keep up the good work. For some reason, some reason, my Spotify DJ was like, you need to listen to Olivia Rodrigo a lot.
[00:10:33] Speaker A: And I guess I did, and I do. Now, if what I'm hearing you say then is correct, I think we're. We're moving Jojo's leave. Get out on to.
[00:10:41] Speaker B: Yeah, I think we got to do Jojo. If it's not just for the staying power. And you know what? It doesn't have much, but it has a little. And that's more than slow motion did.
[00:10:50] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd like. So I feel like slow motion is that song that if you put it on a playlist, that, like, if you. You have to be pretty deep into a very good playlist, this would be one of those nice, like, deep cut tracks that I think people would like vibe to back. Oh, nice. Okay. But that's, I think the most you're really gonna get, though. You'll. No one will ever be like, fuck this song. People will be like, but you're just going to get. Oh, nice. Oh, I haven't heard that song in a minute. That's a good song.
[00:11:17] Speaker B: Yeah. You might hear people like, oh, it's my time to hit the bathroom.
[00:11:19] Speaker A: Sure. Yeah. Like, it'll definitely keep the. It'll keep the vibe going, but, like. But leave, get out a little bit different. You're not going to use it in the exact same party settings, but that one, every single time it comes on, people just lose their mind, and it's like a great nostalgic song. Speaking of nostalgic songs, we have the seven seed. The reason going up against ten seed, naughty girl. For anyone that was hoping it was naughty girl, that would be the nostalgic song for me. I'm sorry. It is the reason by who?
[00:11:48] Speaker B: It is the reason. This reason by the band the hoop stank, is the greatest song of a generation. It's.
[00:11:55] Speaker A: Is it not the perfect love song? Like, is it not. The only way to tell someone that you love them is through this song. I don't know how else.
[00:12:04] Speaker B: I don't know how else we told.
[00:12:05] Speaker A: People that we love them until Hooba stank gave us the words to. The reason.
[00:12:09] Speaker B: The reason is. The reason for me has always been a joke. I. I look at the reason like, I look at Amish paradise by weird Al Yankovic. Like, it's a song, but it. It's not music, I guess. I don't know. The reason is. So it lives in this space where.
[00:12:27] Speaker A: You'Re like, by all definitions, it is technically music.
There are notes being played in order that have a rhythm and a melody, and there are words that go on top of it that seem to be thematically together. So that's a song. So, by all definitions, you did make a song. That is all I can give you credit for, though.
[00:12:50] Speaker B: On this test, it got so big, and it was huge. It blew up everywhere. The whole time, I'm like, but it feels like there was a good base for a song. Like, they were about to get into songwriting, and they were like, yeah. And we just got to flush it out with some lyrics and maybe a little bit more something, and then instead of doing that, they just consented, shipped it. We're done.
[00:13:07] Speaker A: This is also one of those great examples of a song that, like, is very. It is coded as romantic and is, like, for sure a wedding song, right?
[00:13:18] Speaker B: For.
[00:13:18] Speaker A: There's no way, in the summer of 2004, if you were getting married, you. You had to at least have the reason on your board of, like, five songs, right.
[00:13:26] Speaker B: You had to make it. Yeah.
[00:13:28] Speaker A: Do the. I don't know. Do we want to do one that's so new. This is one of those great songs where it's like, the whole song is mostly. And being like, I'm a giant piece of shit, by the way. I used to be a piece of shit, but I'm not anymore. Like, he had no point. Says anything that, like, in the verses, it's just constantly about, like, he literally starts talking. I'm saying, I'm not a perfect person, right? So we start off immediately setting the table for, like, this guy's like, there's many things I wish I didn't do.
[00:13:56] Speaker B: He just. The whole time he just says, I was a shitty boyfriend. I was a shitty boy. And the reason I was a shitty boyfriend is, you know, the reason.
[00:14:06] Speaker A: It's like, but why was that not the reason when you were being the shitty boyfriend?
Now she's leaving, you're like, yo, and.
[00:14:14] Speaker B: It'S going up against naughty girl. This is. This. I have to paint a picture for all you people that may have forgot. 2004, Beyonce was just starting to run wild and free. She was just getting out of Destiny's child. She. Maybe this is her second solo album. She's finally getting out there for real.
[00:14:30] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:14:30] Speaker B: And this song slaps so hard.
[00:14:35] Speaker A: I.
It's not that I don't think it slaps. I want to start there.
It's not that I don't think it's. But this is not. I don't put as far as, like, Beyonce songs go.
I don't really put this up there. Like, if I want to listen to, like, a Beyonce song.
[00:14:56] Speaker B: No.
[00:14:57] Speaker A: Granted, this.
[00:14:58] Speaker B: You're right.
[00:14:58] Speaker A: It's from her first album. This is her just trying to see what's going to work, see what's going to stick. And I will say, I did pull this up because I needed. I did need to know. She does play it still live, so it has not left her memory. I was.
[00:15:11] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, no. When I saw Beyonce in 2019 or 20, whatever it was on the run. Two, she did play naughty girl and it was badass. Okay.
[00:15:19] Speaker A: I thought this might have left the playlist, but it does stay. So for her, even has staying power. So I'll give that.
[00:15:25] Speaker B: That.
[00:15:25] Speaker A: I feel like it's. It's almost like. I feel like what naughty girl is, is this song helped her understand, like, oh, I can go deeper. Like we. We get drunk in love because naughty girl ran right or naughty girl walked so drunken love could run right. Like this is. Without this song, I don't think we get to where we are now with Beyonce and some of the stuff she's done. But for me, this is not. This is not top Beyonce. I want to say this is top Hoovestank. Okay, well, first of all, I'm prime hoovestank dog.
[00:15:59] Speaker B: Okay? Yes, agreed. This is Prime Hoovestank. But you can't compare Prime Hoop. Prime, who stank doesn't even fucking can't hold Beyonce's jockstrap, dude. Prime Hoopstank is the reason is a joke. The song is a parody of music that everyone seems to have joined for one summer. And when you look back at it, it's a joke. I. But is that a joke, Nick?
[00:16:23] Speaker A: Is that not the great part of nostalgia? Is that not the fun of it, all right? Is to look back fondly and be like, oh, we were so silly. Like, we.
[00:16:33] Speaker B: Look at us.
[00:16:33] Speaker A: Look at who we were then. But this song, the amount of mixtapes this song got to be on. There's naughty girl wasn't on. This was the number one song on mixtapes. I guarantee it. I guarantee for the year of 2004, this song, number one on mixtapes. Naughty girl is not. It is like, it's good. I mean, if we look at the charts, I mean, that one's easy. The reasons number six all time that year, naughty girls 18. It's not. It's no slouch. It's no slouch in the game.
[00:17:01] Speaker B: Yeah. But it is a song, structurally, musically, something I enjoy to hear. Naughty girl is better than the reason by infinite margin.
[00:17:13] Speaker A: I just. Okay, cards on the table, Cody. Yeah, I'm gonna. I'm gonna go for.
[00:17:17] Speaker B: I figured that out a while ago.
[00:17:20] Speaker A: So cards on the table. I don't know if I would have gotten. And I mean, this genuinely. This is not a bit.
[00:17:25] Speaker B: It's not a joke.
[00:17:27] Speaker A: I don't think I genuinely would have dated my high school girlfriend if it was not for this album. I used this album when we were date, when we were trying to date in middle school to talk to her about her then boyfriend. And this. This album shaped what would end up being my first time dating her in middle school to then eventually what would happen in middle school.
[00:17:47] Speaker B: This.
[00:17:48] Speaker A: This album is insanely important to me, so I just can't. I'm gonna put it on the table.
[00:17:53] Speaker B: I.
[00:17:53] Speaker A: And I do love this song in a way that I. I understand.
[00:17:56] Speaker B: Okay, Nick. I'm. Okay. Well, the music video for not a girl shaped me as a young man in a lot of defining ways as well. So we have reasons.
[00:18:05] Speaker A: We have our reasons, and we is Beyonce.
[00:18:08] Speaker B: I gotta lock it in.
[00:18:09] Speaker A: Naughty girl, dude, I get it. I get it, and I'm probably in the wrong here.
[00:18:13] Speaker B: I.
[00:18:13] Speaker A: This is any other hooba stank song. If this was any other, I think I'd be in the wrong, but it's a reason.
[00:18:19] Speaker B: So I. Can you name I. Okay. That album is so important to you. Can you name one other hoopa stakes song?
[00:18:23] Speaker A: Because I can. Okay, so you have crawling in the dark.
[00:18:27] Speaker B: Okay, good.
[00:18:27] Speaker A: You did it.
[00:18:28] Speaker B: That's all I needed. Okay.
[00:18:29] Speaker A: That's a fun one. All right, so we'll settle this the only way we know how, with the american voting coin of 2004, as brought to you by random.org. We got George Bush facing up, which means John Kerry is on the other side. Low seed is going to get to pick. That is going to be you, Cody, with the ten seed. Where are you going with this?
[00:18:44] Speaker B: I got to go 2004. I got to go bush. I got to go bush.
[00:18:47] Speaker A: He's right there.
[00:18:48] Speaker B: He's.
This.
[00:18:50] Speaker A: Wait, Cody, this is the american voting coin of 2004.
[00:18:55] Speaker B: Oh, I was brought to you by.
[00:18:57] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh.
[00:18:58] Speaker B: Dude.
[00:18:58] Speaker A: This was the year this coin was minted in this year.
[00:19:03] Speaker B: We gotta go with Bush. Then there's no you. Bush wins this year. Yeah.
[00:19:07] Speaker A: So it's.
[00:19:08] Speaker B: You have to even hate Nate. Nick, do you even need to flip?
[00:19:11] Speaker A: We just have to go by the fact that George Bush.
[00:19:14] Speaker B: Sorry.
[00:19:14] Speaker A: I picked George Bush. I have to win.
[00:19:15] Speaker B: That's the rules.
[00:19:16] Speaker A: I'm sorry. All right, we'll flip John Kerry.
[00:19:19] Speaker B: This is an atrocity against man, but I accept it. The reason. It might be a joke, but, damn, it's stuck around, huh?
[00:19:27] Speaker A: Hey, there's some very funny jokes that last, you know.
[00:19:30] Speaker B: Yeah, there's. It's.
[00:19:32] Speaker A: It is, Cody. It is the. Who's on third of our generation, if I could be so bold.
[00:19:38] Speaker B: There's. There's. There's three jokes. There's. Who's on third? There's a spilled spot remover on my dog, and he disappeared. There's the reason.
[00:19:47] Speaker A: The reason.
[00:19:47] Speaker B: That's it.
[00:19:48] Speaker A: I love. Here's the thing that I think is important about this matchup.
[00:19:51] Speaker B: Leave.
[00:19:51] Speaker A: Get out.
[00:19:52] Speaker B: Versus.
[00:19:52] Speaker A: The reason is that this is. This is middle school. If you were an adult listening to these songs and actively were, like, relating to them, you have. You did not adjust well.
[00:20:05] Speaker B: You had problems.
[00:20:07] Speaker A: Like, once again, when you brought up Olivia Rodrigo, I was like, oh, that's a really good, like, counterpoint to, like, what I'm saying. Like, what is it like to listen to, like, a 16 year old girl sing about, like, breaking up and being mad at someone. I very much hear that as like, oh, yeah, you are 16 year old. Oh, great, great.
[00:20:25] Speaker B: You're.
[00:20:25] Speaker A: You're writing about it better than any of us did. Yeah, but I hear it like that. But, you know, we know by the popularity of at least the reason. I don't know if we can say the same thing about Jojo, but we can say this about the popularity of Hooba stanks. The reason that this song, people did not listen to this song. That's what's wild to me, is that we were, like you said, I think even when it came out, there were some of us who were kind of aware. But whatever it is between his voice and the notes that they're playing overcome.
[00:20:59] Speaker B: The lyrics we see, we keep avoiding when we talk about the reason, the use of the word song, the use of the word music there.
[00:21:10] Speaker A: No, it's. It's all component parts at this point. We're.
[00:21:14] Speaker B: We're looking at. We took random parts off of random cars and put them together, and it does indeed run that car. You can't. I will not call it a car. I will not call it a car.
[00:21:24] Speaker A: I will not.
[00:21:27] Speaker B: Oh, man. It can't win. If we're doing all this mental gymnastics to avoid the fact that we want to give it credit for existing as the world, as music, it can't win. That being said, I'm voting for the reason, and it's terrible.
[00:21:39] Speaker A: Are you really? No, you're not.
[00:21:41] Speaker B: Yes, I am.
[00:21:42] Speaker A: Oh, I was. I mean, to be fair, I was.
[00:21:46] Speaker B: I'm. And I still.
[00:21:47] Speaker A: I still could be convinced to go the other way. I was. I was more on that leave, get out tip. No, I think from a standpoint of, like, what holds up now? What do people. What do people like? Would still be fun to hear if I heard the reason right now, and this is coming from someone who genuinely enjoys listening to nickelback unironically. Give me three doors down. Play them. If Hooba stank comes on, I will. I will be like, this is a bridge too far, guys.
[00:22:16] Speaker B: That's what I'm saying.
[00:22:17] Speaker A: We have to do this.
[00:22:18] Speaker B: Like, this is my point. This is what I'm saying. If JoJo's leave or gets out plays on a playlist in this year, 2024, I don't think I'd react in any way, but if the reason comes on, every single person at that party will have a visceral reaction. This is powerful. Is it powerful because it's good? No, but I think leave. I think they left it back in 2004. It doesn't matter anymore.
[00:22:44] Speaker A: I disagree with you. I do think I. I was there this past, like, two summers, and it feels like Jojo came back in a big way. Maybe it was even, like, 2020 Jojo came back.
[00:22:56] Speaker B: Next time we have. I'm locked it in. The reason. The next time I have a party, I'm going to slip in my playlist. The reason. And I guarantee there will be words spoken about it.
[00:23:06] Speaker A: Just.
[00:23:08] Speaker B: It's no one's got.
If we. If we sneak these songs into a playlist, I think get out, leave could slide by. Right, people. Okay. Just maybe they'll bop along to it. Maybe they'll sing a little bit. But no one's having a discussion. I think the reason comes on. It's a discussion. And not only that, it might be the discussion for the rest of the night.
[00:23:27] Speaker A: It's just being so stuck on, like, why point? Why do we do this? Also, it's.
I. The one thing that I love about it is the music video is a heist. Like that. At no point does this song seem to need a heist. But they were like, oh, that'd be pretty tight, though.
[00:23:47] Speaker B: Is that even the energy of the song, too? What if I don't, baby, if I'm baby fucking driver and I need to get away. I'm not putting on the reason. Right? I might put on leave, though, right?
[00:23:57] Speaker A: I gotta get out right now.
I. I don't. I actually am having a hard time giving the reason it over. Leave. Get out. From a standpoint of, like, what. What still holds up, what. It's wild how much the reason mattered at that time and is really wild, Nick, right now definitively mattered more than leave. I will say that this song.
[00:24:18] Speaker B: Here's the deal. I give you a hundred thousand dollars. You have to correctfully fill in a mad labs, mad libs style sheet of the lyrics of these songs. Which one you pick?
[00:24:27] Speaker A: I mean, I probably have to go.
[00:24:29] Speaker B: You gotta go the reason, right?
[00:24:31] Speaker A: Gotta go. The reason. Because I don't know the verses. I don't know the verses to leave. Get out. Cody. Fun fact. I have the lyrics up to hoopa stanks. So why don't we just play a little game here, okay?
[00:24:45] Speaker B: Let's see.
[00:24:45] Speaker A: Let's see how you got this.
[00:24:47] Speaker B: Okay. I'm gonna. Mad libit.
[00:24:48] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:24:48] Speaker B: Hit me with it.
[00:24:49] Speaker A: Okay. I'm sorry that I hurt you. It's. It's blank. I must live with blank I'm sorry.
[00:24:57] Speaker B: I must live with every day in all the pain I put you through I can't remember the rest.
[00:25:05] Speaker A: Oh, damn it. I should have went further down. All right. But nonetheless, you're right. All right? You proved the point.
[00:25:10] Speaker B: You got a point in the reason, dude. It's got to be the reason and not be. I don't know, man. Maybe it is good and we're just looking at it wrong. I don't. How do you last this long and stand the test of time this strong without being good?
[00:25:20] Speaker A: Wow.
I don't think it has lasted the test of time, though. I think this is firmly. I think leave, get out. Was about to not last the test of time, and then it just, like, popped through, like a rose through concrete, and we're like, oh, hey, what are you doing here? Leave, get out.
[00:25:37] Speaker B: Do you think. Do you think the reason is the one thing that millennials wish we could get back? We want a mulligan on that one.
[00:25:42] Speaker A: Yeah. Here we go.
Like, when people. When you have to attest for your own pop culture and you just have to be like. Like, when you look back on, like, a lot of movies and stuff from the nineties and look at Gen X, like, hey, man, you guys use. You guys use, like, the r word. You called stuff gay a lot. Like, you guys got an answer for this? And they're like, oh, yeah, what about the hoop? What about who was staying the reason? Oh, man.
[00:26:04] Speaker B: Fuck you. Right?
[00:26:05] Speaker A: Damn. I'm sorry.
[00:26:07] Speaker B: We all dropped the ball.
[00:26:08] Speaker A: Yeah, we. Sorry, man. I was only. I was only 13 at the time, so I wasn't paying as much attention. But I did utilize it, like I said, to my advantage.
I'm still going to go. Leave, get out here with jojo. So that's. We will settle this once again, the only way we know how, with the american voting point of 2004, as brought to you by random.org. Let's see here. Cody, you are. You are the low seed. Now, once again, for the reason still going.
[00:26:34] Speaker B: Bush. It's got to be bush.
[00:26:36] Speaker A: Got to be bush. All right, well, flip it is. And he does win like he always was supposed to. So the reason we'll move on. I can't wait. Here's the thing is, I'm. I'm excited to dig into whatever curse this has. This song. There is something cursed about this. There's something dark here. There's some reason that this song could last and go as hard as it did for such a short amount of time.
[00:27:02] Speaker B: We'll have to do some research. Maybe the band is. Members are a coven of some kind, or the song was actually written by a lich. We'll let you know. We'll let you know what we find.
[00:27:11] Speaker A: Yeah, we'll have to figure that out. But thank you all so much for listening to this episode up from the competition.
