They get all that. They get all those free laughs. And they hear us mention the blog. They say, oh, that's probably enough.
Starting point is 00:01:52 I probably get it. I get enough. It's shocking to me. I mean, this is funny to now talk about it on the blowout because it's the most preaching to the choir that you could do. But a lot of people have come up to me on tour and been like, you guys are so great. I actually only just subscribed to the blowout like a week ago and I'm
Starting point is 00:02:11 catching up and I'm like, what the fuck have you been doing? You fucking moron. No offense. I'm realizing now that these people are, but I would say like, I heard that like 10 times recently. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:22 What the fuck are you doing? We say it so much. We say like the whole cocktail episode 10 times recently yeah what the fuck are you doing we say it so much we say like the whole cocktail episode is us plugging the patreon that's true i know i know it sad you know what it's just sad and that in life you have to deal with grief you have to get through it that's sad and it sucks i want to talk to you guys about what I had for lunch today. Okay. Okay. Oh, now I came, came, uh, I came back from the,
Starting point is 00:02:48 no, I went to the grocery store. This story is off to a bad start at the grocery store. I bought myself a frozen pre-cooked tail on shrimp, right? We've had it before. Hold on, hold on.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Let me just get this straight. Frozen pre-cooked tail on this bag shrimp yeah it's pink shrimp you peel it you know it's how most of us get our shrimp pink no no they're gray before you cook them yeah but mostly i mean for me i'm going to the freezer section and i'm getting that ring with the sauce in the middle yeah now mike where yours yours were they were fully cooked like what je Jeff's ring of cocktail shrimp. That's right. But they were frozen in a bag. Got it. Continue. So I bring this home and as this is where I was starting, as I'm walking in,
Starting point is 00:03:32 I say, Hey, get your bag King. Ooh, I know what I'm going to do with this. I know exactly what I'm doing with this, these shrimps. Yeah, but we don't know. So tell us Mike. I know. So here we go. We're getting into the call of action. So I take a call to action. Yeah. I take some shrimps out, you know, unfreeze them, pull the things off, pull the tails off, put them into a bowl. I cut them each in half, make them a little smaller, put them into a bowl. Put them into a bowl.
Starting point is 00:04:03 I cut them each in half, make them a little smaller. Put them into a bowl. I add mayonnaise to that bowl. Oh. I add, I didn't have bay, what's the? Old bay. Old bay. But I had like paprika, so I put it in there.
Starting point is 00:04:18 I put a little carrot shavings. I wish I had more stuff because now I'm looking up different recipes. I'm making a shrimp salad. Yes. I was thinking like kind of a lobster roll type thing. Pretty much. I put a little lemon in there, but now I'm looking up ceviche recipes. This is going to be, change my summer. I took this stuff, you know, I'm making those pita salads where you put salad stuff into a pita. Did that, put that on top of it. I had two halves of a pita did that put that on top of it i had two halves of a pita with a shrimp that was wonderful oh my wonderful so mike i remember you came over when you stayed over we
Starting point is 00:04:51 had pita that's right we did a lot with that pita that's what got me into the pita salad or hey don't forget pita the pita is nita pita what was your other pita innovation though it was like a salad sandwich or something you were calling it, pita. What was your other pita innovation, though? It was like a salad sandwich or something you were calling it? Yeah, pita salad, which was just a salad, a pita pocket with a salad. So this shrimp thing sounds good, but I got to say, you got to be bought. You should buy the raw ones and you should cook them up. You think? Tim, I've never done it in my life.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Is it worth it? Be honest. Is it worth it? Let me work it. But you cook them up and they turn pink in your oh wait wait wait you guarantee they turn pink no you were keeping them cold and you were you kept it cold and you made a shrimp salad no you did fine i'm in college one time a friend of mine was like tim you gotta have my shrimp alfredo you never lived and i was like okay in college i
Starting point is 00:05:41 wouldn't trust a college student to cook alfredo. Senior year when I'm living off campus, I got a kitchen. So I said, come on over, make me your shrimp Alfredo. Come on over, baby. He goes, okay, I'm going to go to Wegmans. I'm going to get this stuff. I'm going to come over. He comes over. He's got pre-cooked pink shrimp and a jar of Alfredo sauce.
Starting point is 00:06:02 shrimp and a jar of Alfredo sauce. And he just makes me a fucking, like, essentially just, like, heating up things that Wegmans did. Now, I'd love Wegman. Sure. But this was a swing and a miss from my college friend.
Starting point is 00:06:18 As much as I say, go Bombers till I die, it's a good college. Hell yeah. Well, even back then, Tim, you were a food dude. You're not going to pull a fast one on Tim Kalpakisas no matter what his age no the food dudes in the food mood i was a foodie before he was hip right because it's probably it was we were in college when that kind of became hip yeah what was the foodie switch there i don't mean just liking food but like keeping track of like no you gotta go to the hole in the wall spot. Is that just the rise of the internet, you think?
Starting point is 00:06:49 Yeah, it's the rise of the internet. Just more and more stuff like getting passed around. Tails. I've been sort of off my foodie shit for a while, but let me tell you, this got me excited. Yeah. We're playing in Pittsburgh soon, are we not? We are. Get tickets, folks, before they go. It's very fun. very fun i'm gonna go i haven't even told you guys this i'm gonna go to pittsburgh a little early and
Starting point is 00:07:12 my our friend ben is gonna meet me there because we wanted to just have a little pittsburgh uh time okay so so i'm i was i was texting him i was, maybe I'll get to town a little early. And then I was looking at, um, I was like, I'm going to be hanging out at my parents' cabin in the Adirondacks. And I was like, how does one get from Northville, New York to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania? It's very far. Yeah. Do I fly? It's weird flights.
Starting point is 00:07:39 There's connections. It's like, do you, they were like flying me to like Detroit or Charlotte. Yeah. Yeah. My flight into Pittsburghittsburgh is fucked it's it's really really weird so i then was like i guess i'm gonna rent a car and then i looked at the trip the drive from northfield to pittsburgh is fucking seven hours and seven minutes and i was like well this sucks until i looked at the map it It's taken me Route 90 in New York.
Starting point is 00:08:06 It's taken me through Buffalo. And as much as I am a New York State man, I've never been to Buffalo. Really? I'm going to go to the Anchor Bar. I'm going to go to Duff's. I'm going to go to Mighty Taco. I'm going to have all that stuff I've been hearing about from forever. You haven't been to Buffalo?
Starting point is 00:08:22 Tim. I've never been to Buffalo. While you're out there, look up a roast beef sandwich place called Anderson's. I don't know if it's still around. Now, is it beef on weck? I couldn't tell you. I just remember having it as a kid and loved it. Anderson's.
Starting point is 00:08:36 Not Anderson's. Pea soup. Rest in peace. Rest in peace. Oh, fuck. They closed. I forgot that. Isn't that crazy? A lot of places closing. Pinky's closing. Pinkies closing. Really? Laurel Cafe Coffee. The bar in Los Feliz?
Starting point is 00:08:49 Pinkies? Bar in Los Feliz. And I saw today. Oh, not the hot dogs. Not the hot dogs. That's Pink's. Pink's, Pink's, Pink's. And then the one I saw today is Laurel Canyon Cafe.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Not the restaurant, I guess. Or maybe it is the restaurant. Tim, have you been up on Beachwood? Oh, no. I love that place. I don't know if it's like, is the coffee shop separate from the diner? Because there's a grocery store and there's a diner. And then is there maybe a coffee shop?
Starting point is 00:09:20 Anyway, the coffee shop is closing. It might also be the diner. It's so funny that thing when a thing is closing and you're like, no, but that's a landmark. And I'm like, well, I haven't been there in nine years. I guess I'm part of the problem. Hey, can I discuss my food innovation that I just stumbled upon? Yeah. Okay. I'm
Starting point is 00:09:35 at Albertson's. I've been collecting dust. Oh, God. Another fucking six month project. No, I bought an avocado saying, I don't know what I'm going to do with it, but I'm going to do something with it. You can get some of that good fatty fruit. Maybe it's going to go on a turkey burger. Maybe it's going to go next to an egg.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Hey! I put it aside and I was like, oh, it's getting a little soft. It's getting right about there, but I'm going to save it till morning because I think I'm going to make a little avocado toast. Hipster. We got a hipster brunchy hipster i wake up hey it's brunchy mr brunchy hipster how are you that would be a good character if mad tv comes back so i wake up in the morning and i got
Starting point is 00:10:18 this avocado ready to rock and i'm trying to impress with this avocado toast you know what i'm saying i got a lady over okay she's gonna she's gonna have this avocado toast i'm trying to impress with this avocado toast. You know what I'm saying? I got a lady over. Okay. She's going to have this avocado toast. I'm trying to impress. And this is in the morning and she was like, Jeff, you fucked me so bad last night. And you're like, yeah, I know, but wait till breakfast, man. It'll all be worth it, I swear, man.
Starting point is 00:10:36 No, I know I did. Your little shrinky dink never got hard. I know, babe, but wait. I know it usually doesn't, but I thought this would be a good one. I told you it wouldn't. You should have bet me. You didn't believe me. I told you it wouldn't.
Starting point is 00:10:54 So hey, back to the avocado. This is a good story. So I get in there. What do I have? Dave's Killer Bread. Good bread to start with. Multi-grain. I'm toasting that up right. I have red onion. I cut so, so thin.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Red onion. What else do I have on top of that? A little of that Tony Chacharini. The salt. The Creole salt. Okay, I was saying it wrong. I was saying Tony Keshare, and then people, it's like Tony Sasha Ray.
Starting point is 00:11:28 Yeah, yeah, it's crazy. However they say it, it's like a localized thing. And then I was like, you know what I need is a little snap, a little acid snap. I have lemon juice, good lemon juice, but I don't want to have a clumsy dribble of lemon juice on top of this whole thing so i've served it i'm like you sit tight i think i have an idea i have an idea babe i'm digging around because you know we got we've each amassed a little bit of a laboratory here
Starting point is 00:11:57 with with i told you last night not to call me that all of our all of our tools all of our tools. And I'm like, if I, if I, if I have a spray bottle, I'm going to put that lemon juice in a spray bottle. And wouldn't you know it? I found a little brown glass thing with a, with a top. It's screwed right on. Now you're getting a fine mist of lemon juice across the whole avocado toast. Ooh, and it set it off right. Folks, that's my life hack.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Really? That's good. Put some lemon juice or some lime juice in a spray bottle. It's good for cocktails. It's good for avocado toast. Jeff, I could picture I'm at the grill this summer, Greek style. He's making some lamb chops and I got a bottle of lemon juice. That's really smart.
Starting point is 00:12:44 That's great, Jeff. I like that. Spread it around. And a little. Come on, Mike, get into it. Mike, come on. Well, I don't know why we can't chew on the microphone if we're doing this type of thing. Yeah, why are we allowed to go?
Starting point is 00:12:59 Maybe this is what the audience likes. I don't know. Hmm. Now, of course, we didn't talk. Maybe this is what the audience likes. I don't know. Hmm. Now, of course, we didn't talk.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Actually, we didn't come here to talk about things the audience doesn't like. But in a way, we did. Today, we're talking about the, what can I say? The best of, well, worst of Dr. Benedicto and Little little thriller and those types of acts now you guys keep talking because i gotta go get a package at my door one second okay so now if you've listened to the podcast the main before you've you've probably heard us introduce uh songs in a way that's like oh this is a group i don't know why we fuck we list fuck with these guys don't like and we shouldn't give them a platform but here we go they're bad but the way things work with uh current podcasts you need to uh our podcast business and uh sort of network we have to build up other artists and you know if
Starting point is 00:13:58 it's outrageous it's contagious they say you know so you want you want kind of want to have something that's divisive so people go oh that sucks but i'm commenting on it it sucks but i'm sharing it you know that's kind of the life because you just got to get the numbers and we're in this who we're signed with the world the way the world is now um this went back a lot further than i thought yeah this was like maybe year one stuff year one stuff what was the first episode of the introduction of these two? I think we're going to see, but I believe it was Most Hated Song. You brought in, you were on a song you hated, and it was one of your runners up. They showed up on the blowout first.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Blowout first for a while. But we've prepared a whole special presentation for everybody, bringing everybody up to speed on all things benedicto and thriller and you know who else was it with uh seals and croft jr seals and croft jr and then also professor pecker and young sniz right those were tim brought those to the tim that tim brought them into the table. That was his private annoyance that he brought. Now, Seals and Croft Jr. was
Starting point is 00:15:10 Tiny Tony and Young not Young and Sir Slime. Sir Slime, right. Tiny Tony and Sir Slime. So we're going to go through you know, you're going to listen to all the back-to-back, all the appearances by these guys. From the beginning.
Starting point is 00:15:25 We're going to see if they're worth a damn. I mean, who knows? It's sort of a special presentation. And, you know, like we always say, hopefully we don't hear much from these guys going forward. Yes. But we did want to get it all in one place so everyone's up to speed. Love it. Folks, enjoy.
Starting point is 00:15:41 We love you. Enjoy. And now, our feature presentation. On February 10th, 2021, in an episode of the Sloppy Boys blowout called Most Hated Song, we each nominated some of the worst music we'd ever heard. When it came to our runner-ups, Mike presented what would become the very first appearance of an awful duo that call themselves Dr. Benedicto and Lil Thrilla.
Starting point is 00:16:14 Well, I've got a runner-up that I didn't put it, like I didn't really consider it because it's an obscure band that a lot of people probably don't know. But it's a song that I just like, it grates on me so much because it's got like these different, well, we'll play it, and you'll hear it, but it's just like, it's awful. It's, it's trying to do so many things and it's, it's bad. It's by this, uh, group. uh group uh they used to be this like in the early
Starting point is 00:16:45 2000s they were like a really like uh uh socially conscious uh rap group or hip-hop group called um little thriller and dr benedicto and here's the song take a listen because this is this came out in 2017 and you really don't And you really don't like this. It's just like, what the fuck? But listen, this is the full song. If you want to see me rhyme, better come to Taco Time. Taco, taco, taco, taco taco taco taco get in a
Starting point is 00:17:27 timber and go sit taco time I welcome this kind of examination because people have got to know whether or not their president's a crook well I'm not a crook I've earned everything I've got whoa everything I've got. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Everybody take a shot of gin. Fool me once, shame on you. Shame on you. If you fool me, you can't get fooled again. Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Name our famous street artist is... Definitely Banksy. I think Banksy's great, you know, I think he really needed a Banksy. I think a Banksy has become such a cultural happening that there's been like the Banksy effect. Well, it's a Banksy. I think a Banksy has become such a cultural happening that there's been like the Banksy effect. Well, it's a Banksy. The Banksy effect. The Banksy effect. Banksy effect.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Oh, no. Oh, no. Ooh, I love you, baby. Like this part is nice, but you make me and you destroy me Oh Back to Back to taco time at the end. I call upon all nations to do everything they can to stop these terrorist killers. Now watch this drive.
Starting point is 00:19:17 It's so much going on there and it's like political. Mike, I got to agree with you multiple presidents taken to task and it's like you hit the nail on the head where it's like yeah sure there's lots of good ideas in there but like it's kitchen sinky they're trying to do it all what the fuck is taco time I don't know we have to
Starting point is 00:19:38 go to taco time I just don't know about it it's it's fuck every time I hear it I'm like nope I'm not listening to this change the channel whenever that comes on um mainstream radio yeah i turn it off i won't listen to it and just honestly like dubstep didn't age well at all so like having that whole middle of the song is not a good move and that's that is a Rage Against the Machine move to be like, oh, we're going to use clips of our presidents. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:20:09 Right. Ooh. Ooh, your sacred institutions. And it almost pisses me off that toward the end, that little section that's like a piano ballad, that's beautiful. I know. It's nice. And the singer there, his voice is great, but what's he talking about?
Starting point is 00:20:23 It's like now it's a love song. And what was the name of this artist again? This is two people, Lil Thriller and Dr. Benedicto. Yeah. Well, they suck, man. They suck. They suck. That song sucks.
Starting point is 00:20:40 Fuck those guys. But I hope we hear more from them in the future. Is that weird to say? We might hear more of their off-the-wall stuff. But the thing is, they're great guys. They suck, but I hope we hear more from them in the future. Is that weird to say? We might hear more of their off-the-wall stuff. But the thing is, they're great guys. They do a lot of... They have big charities. It's just their fucking music. Yeah, I know their charities are big and all that.
Starting point is 00:20:57 And if they make... Their next song will have some Biden clips. That's kind of cool, probably. They might. You don't know what those two are up to. On June 2nd, 2021, in the blowout episode entitled Ultimate Cover Song, Mike ended the episode sharing his least favorite cover song, Dr. Benedicto and Lil Thrilla's cover of a beloved Boyz II Men track.
Starting point is 00:21:24 So I stumbled upon, I mean, I knew this existed, but I didn't think anyone would know what it is. Lil' Thrilla and Dr. Benedicto did a cover. No. I think, I know. Those guys suck. These guys are bad. If you remember our most hated song, these guys showed up. They suck.
Starting point is 00:21:43 I mean, these guys are just a bad band they used to like i said they used to be a more of a socially conscious rap group and now they do i don't even know what the type of music is that they make now but this came out in 2016 and it was part of some mixtape thing that they did uh-huh they covered uh boys to men i'll make a love to you why they were doing it, I have no idea. I love that song. It's a great song. Boys to Men are fantastic singers.
Starting point is 00:22:10 You'll hear it. It's awful, awful, awful music. These two are making awful music. I'm dreading this. Discovery 4 computers now have primary control of critical vehicle functions. Honestly, Mike, I'm into it. Oh, boy. Terrible.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Oh, no. Now somebody spark up that cigarette and pass it this way. Too much. We just want to say big ups and mad respect to boys to men who we heard blew up in Philadelphia. Well, what can we say It's on our top five cities To visit before we die Which if we don't start Eating right Will be any day now
Starting point is 00:23:36 Oh no Always with the fucking Public domain sound effect. Oh, my God. Where to start? Mike, how could you bring that in? It's just so much. Well, we're doing our favorites.
Starting point is 00:23:56 I want to do my least favorite cover song. It's so many different. You're talking about, Tim, you bring up Travis. What's his name? Scott.? Scott. Travis Scott. Sicko mode. Got all different parts to it.
Starting point is 00:24:09 These guys, what is it? It's like stops and they just use some riser sounds, DJ riser sound to get to the next thing. Yeah. And what are they? They're about to die, it seems. I will say this. I'm starting to get the hang of like who's singing what? Right. it seems. I will say this. I'm starting to get the hang of like who's singing what? Between Dr.
Starting point is 00:24:26 Benedicto and Lil Thriller, which is the one who's like, let me see you. Which is the guy that has a tough time getting every word out? Which guy is that? Do you think? Well, I know. It's Lil Thriller. He was the one who
Starting point is 00:24:44 did the message at the end here and then benedicto is more of the smooth i mean thinks he's more of the smooth singer and but i gotta say that's part of the problem is like honestly dr benedicto on his own i could see him making some good songs his voice is decent but the right producer maybe with the right producer like david foster from i will Always Love You or something like that. But his problem is, again, kitchen sinky. Every idea goes in the mix and that's a problem. Everything goes in and way too much historical soundbites.
Starting point is 00:25:16 I don't know what these guys think is the deal. They lost what was so great about the original Boyz II Men song. It's just not there. Oh, oh, not even there. Not even there at all before long the duo escaped from beyond the paywall and appeared on the mainline cocktail show in episode 24 mike unearthed a faith hill song called Aperol Spritz. We'll take a listen to it in just a second. There's something, the producer she worked with,
Starting point is 00:25:52 you'll see what happened. Something kind of weird goes on with it. But yeah, this is Faith Hill, her Aperol Spritz drink. Oh, wow. Yeah. It's a drink that's yellow with an orangey tint. It was big in the 50s. An angel. And in 2019.
Starting point is 00:26:14 It's that popular cocktail. It's served with some ice. This spritz. This spritz. It's Aperol. This spritz. this spritz. It's Aperol. This spritz, this spritz. What? Remix.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Oh, no. No. Oh, God. Here we go. It isn't Lil' Trolley. It's coming. Chugging on a spritz, getting rowdy at the club. Aperol, bitch, raise the roof like a thug.
Starting point is 00:26:44 App, app, app, Aperol. Spritz, spritz, spritz, spritz, getting rowdy at the club. Aperol, bitch, raise the roof like a thug. App, app, app, Aperol. Spritz, spritz, spritz, spritz for all. Oh. Oh. Still down, still down. It's times like these. We wish we had a big crew. Oh, they don't?
Starting point is 00:27:06 We buy them all drinks No IOU Drinks are on us tonight We'd be gracious with a Monday Aperol Spritz tonight Why do they sound a little... A little gremlins? Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:31 Oh boy. A Dr. Benedicto. Oh my god. You wild face. It's gross. You are too, guys. Oh, she's still there, yeah. One, four, too, guys. Oh, she's still there. One, two, three.
Starting point is 00:27:47 Oh, no. Your pen out. Always. One, two, three. Miss Lewinsky. Miss Lewinsky. These guys. Oh, they ruined music. I mean, that was was a good song Faith Hill had a great
Starting point is 00:28:08 song yeah we were having so much fun listening to Faith Hill Little Thriller and Dr. Benedicto we've had them on the show before they're just awful awful awful artists they're weird they're off putting they use too many
Starting point is 00:28:23 samples of like historical 20th century president yeah right and and then also like their kitchen sinky and their songs just they just do too much they stop and get into a whole different yeah thing and i gotta say you know it makes me nervous that they've they're working with bigger artists now like me too you know how annoying it is to see somebody like fail up oh we're like well that guy you know he sucks or whatever he gets a lot of attention but it sucks and then suddenly they keep getting more and more chances and they become more and more legitimate it's like these guys aren't good did we ever stop to think that they were any good right and it's just a runaway train jeff when when they when i was listening to faith hill song
Starting point is 00:29:05 and those guys came on i had a panic attack oh i totally know you mean mike because me i threw open my mouth a little bit yes yes i was like this is not chill vibes faith if you listen to this podcast like we just want you to know you're you're a great pop country star and you don't have to like, if you want ideas for people to collaborate, ask us and we'll pitch you some better people. I mean, it does. If it just wasn't those two guys, it is kind of a cool song, but I hate them. They are. I'll give them this. Like they are gifted with melody. Like you can tell here and there, but they're just, they just rubbed me the wrong way. They're just bad.
Starting point is 00:29:59 On June 2nd, we discussed Olivia Rodrigo's Sour, where Mike presented a remix of her hit single Driver's License. Did you guys hear the remix of Driver's License? No, I know the original. I know the single version for sure. The remix, I mean, there's just like, you know how like pop songs will have like the original and then like an added verse. Yes. This is one that I don't think is out yet.
Starting point is 00:30:20 I haven't heard it. It's great for the pod actually. Yeah, it's nice. To have an exclusive like that. But I don't know if it ever will come out, but I got my hands on this. It's from Driver's License. It's the sort of the extended version
Starting point is 00:30:35 with a couple of guest stars. Here we go. Cool. I mean what you wrote in that song about me You said forever, now I drive alone past your street Beautiful. No! Wait a minute. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:30:53 No! Hold on. We're here. Here we go. That sounds like Dr. Little Thriller Benedicta with Olivia Ah. No! Thinking might be a mistake to get into her car.
Starting point is 00:31:05 She sounded tight as fuck with that broken heart. Oh, I just wish she'd once put her eyes on the road. I'm getting a car sick. Don't want to die. She misses her boyfriend. Now's not the best time to drive. Guys, guys. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:24 Come on. We talked about this. You're not doing the version where you're driving in the car with Olivia, okay? Just do the version the label wrote, please. Thank you. Okay. Here we go. Ooh, I gotta get out of this car.
Starting point is 00:31:38 Don't ask me who for Olivia, but she's not watching her speed the way a young driver ought to. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror. Is that FDR? All right, guys, we're going to find someone else for this.
Starting point is 00:32:00 Thanks for coming in. Okay, thanks for having us. See you later. Oh, they're fine with it. Bye. And you don't have to pay us for this thanks for coming in okay thanks for having us see you later oh they're fine with it and you don't have to pay us for this if you don't want oh do you know where my jacket is they're such sweet guys they're so fucked up yeah no idea why they got hired for this super huge song yeah this song was so big. There's no need to remix it. Right.
Starting point is 00:32:26 Like, and it was a one in a million song. Why would you do that? I think the rumors are they paid for the studio time. And then the, the producer said, we don't need you on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Yeah. But they paid for it. Oh, on June 30th in the blowout entitled Best Solo, one of Mike's runners-up featured a peculiar vocal solo. Play my third one there, Jeff. You'll know this one. Okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:32:59 Oh, yeah. Oh, and the scan I can do with that song, can you? Uh-oh. And so can Little Thriller. A sneak attack. Hey, Thriller. Show them what you can do right about now. Ski-ska, skidi-ska. Slow.
Starting point is 00:33:25 Ski-ska-goo-goo. I'm about down. Skitty Scott. Skitty Scott. So slow. Skitty Scott. Goo goo. I'll do a baby voice like goo doo. Double doo. Oh. Oh. Oh. Scooby.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Lou. Oh wow. Oh. And all these hoes laughing like so funny. Did you say the hoes are laughing? Yep. Catch me outside. How about that?
Starting point is 00:33:49 Catch you outside? What does that mean? So the audience are a bunch of hoes. What did you think about the ride? Well, it was great because apparently you're spinning around and apparently every time you get this heat. Hey, you know what? Those guys, man. I like that. I hate Dr. Benedicto and Little Thriller. I I like that I hate
Starting point is 00:34:25 they suck Dr. Benedicto and Little Thriller I hate them I think they're terrible but that's that was a good solo Mike
Starting point is 00:34:31 I'll just say this yeah count it I count that I count that I'll give them this too I really dislike those guys
Starting point is 00:34:39 they've always kind of rubbed me the wrong way but I'm proud to see the growth that usually they always sample these sort of 20th century political soundbites. So seeing, you know, when you hear apparently kid
Starting point is 00:34:51 or you hear cash me outside girl, you see them evolving into the new millennia. Well, Tim, I think the point they're making, because we know them so much is taking historical quotes and using them. Yeah, same way as Miss Lewinsky and using them yeah saying saying usually yeah yeah politics right now they're saying huh in this meme culture that's sort of our history like it or not they're saying that that's gonna be that's history now for us oh it's implied yeah
Starting point is 00:35:18 i mean they're not outright saying it but i'm he's had to analyze it they're good they are good you know it pisses me off. Well, they're not good. They're not good. They stink. I like to hear Dr. Phil say, so the audience now, they're hoes. Yeah, that was a choice that Benedicto... Now, did you notice the beat
Starting point is 00:35:39 there that they used? Remember, they almost were on that Olivia Rodrigo's driver's license. Yeah. I guess used the same beat because I guess they own the beat. Oh, yeah. Okay. So if they own it, they can use it.
Starting point is 00:35:52 Sure. That's fine. July 9th, 2021. Main feed episode 38. Cape Codder took a disastrous turn when Tim tried to play some Cape Cod inspired music. Hey, I had an idea, which was since we're talking Cape Cod, wouldn't it be kind of a cool thing to if we listen to some Cape Cod music? Oh, oh, that'd be cool. OK, because I have I've got a bit torrent open here and i was looking careful um yeah these
Starting point is 00:36:28 things can be kind of weird but do you guys know the song cape cod quasa quasa i do uh yeah it's it's a it's a great song oh if you don't know it it's it's vampire weekend it's a really good song maybe we i do know it yeah give this a listen it's hard to tell with these bit torrents like if you have the right version but i think this looks right oh okay this mp3 what bit tour are using what what uh torrent or uh bit boy torrente yeah you probably got this from uh probably got this from the pirate bay yeah pirate bay but no this uh don't worry about it this this i got the mp3 and this looks... Yeah, that looks great. Yeah, it looks good.
Starting point is 00:37:06 I mean, we have the MP3. Good, yeah. I won't worry about it anymore. You want to play it? Let's listen. Great. Sure. Sounds right.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Yeah. So far, so good. Oh, great. Yeah. What the? Remix! Yeah. Oh!
Starting point is 00:37:26 Oh. What the Oh Yes Professor Pecker Young Sniz We're all up in your fears If you wanna hear a banger Well here one is Yeah
Starting point is 00:37:34 Professor Pecker And Young Sniz Yeah Young Sniz Top down Pedal metal Driving out to the Cape But we don't drink Cran
Starting point is 00:37:44 No we only like grape. Talking Welch's, talking Fanta, Laffy Taffy, and wine. If you don't got those, then cranberry's fine. Oh, you little motherfuckers better. Whoa, you nasty naughty bitches better. Yes, you freaking little people better not tell our parents that we rapped or rhymed. Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, Thank you for being here. Thank you for making the trip. I really appreciate it. I really appreciate it. Oh!
Starting point is 00:38:28 Oh, my God. Oh, my God. That was not the original version. No, that was not the original version. And you know what I thought for a second? That was Dr. Benedicto in Little Thriller, but... No, it was Little Pecker and Young Sniz. I know about these guys from... They're in the same fucking genre of shit rap.
Starting point is 00:38:44 So they're like, I guess professor Pecker and young sniz are like competitors of Dr. Benedicto. And I mean, competing for what though is the thing that they're so bad competing for the bottom, I guess the lowest of the low for anyone listening. I think this has come up more on our Patreon than our main feed show,
Starting point is 00:39:01 but you know, Dr. Benedicto and little thriller, they just do these remixes like Aperol spritz and stuff like that they're just like we're not huge fans some people like them but we're not huge fans yeah no but this is just weird to know that there's like other other rap teams out there that are doing these yeah yeah remixes it suggests this sprawling world of like shitty artists making crap. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:26 Like duos that are kind of like wimpy and whiny and like grimy and shitty. And like a whole universe of this stuff. I wonder, I haven't heard much of, um, professor prick and a little young sniz. Yeah. Sniz or snooze.
Starting point is 00:39:41 What was it? I heard, I, this is my first time hearing of them, but I heard young sniz. Young sniz and professor prick. Yeah. I hadn't, I have heard I heard, this is my first time hearing them, but I heard young snizz. Young snizz and Professor Prick. Yeah, I hadn't, I have heard of them, but I hadn't really heard them. But yeah, it's, there's this weird like Gen Z thing that's happening where people want
Starting point is 00:39:54 to listen to like the shittiest rap that's ever been made. I get it. And I guess us as millennials, we should keep our hearts open to it and not be too judgmental. Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah. I know, but it's just, I just don't, I don't get it. Don't get it yet. It's funny though that this,
Starting point is 00:40:09 that you found this on BitTorrent as that Vampire Weekend song. I know, they mislabel these MP3s. I'm quitting this BitTorrent that I was using. I'm just going to pay for streaming from now on. Good. You learned your lesson, Tim. Yep.
Starting point is 00:40:23 Smart. The Cape Codder episode was followed by a period of peace and prosperity, with nary a peep out of the likes of Dr. Benedicto, Little Thriller, Professor Pecker, or his colleague, Young Sniz. But almost one year later, in episode 94, Sea Breeze, I played what I thought was a classic song by 70s soft rock duo Seals and Crofts. I keep trying to think, though, of like, before we got into this episode, I was like, how am I going to remember how to make this going forward? Yeah. It's not complicated.
Starting point is 00:40:57 It's only three. I'll have to check the very handy Sloppy Boys Instagram. Yeah, that's good. But me, I was looking for like is there like in in media maybe like some sort of shorthand like a mnemonic device oh that'd be helpful that i could just sort of like oh how do i do that and i could just maybe bring out the ipod or the zune and press play johnny mnemonic remember how to do it that would be very helpful i agree i wasn't finding anything but then i did find like a song from the 70s or a version of a song from the 70s that might actually help.
Starting point is 00:41:31 Okay. Okay. How did you get it? Do you have it? Yeah, I researched around. I actually have the MP3. Oh, dope. I saw you down at the library researching.
Starting point is 00:41:43 You guys want to hear it? Yeah. Yes, I'd love to. We've talked about it this much. I think we should. Let's do it. Summertime, you know it's got me thirsty. I need something that won't take a lot of time.
Starting point is 00:42:06 Got my fruit, the ice is in the freezer. Gonna make a perfect drink for Friday night. Sea breeze makes me feel fine. Cranberry vodka, grapefruit in my mind.
Starting point is 00:42:26 See, that's what made me think. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Interesting. What the fuck? I'm gonna do it like our dads What the? Tiny Tony
Starting point is 00:42:49 Oh yeah Sir Slime It's slime time, bitch What the? Stills and Cross Jr. Yeah Grapefruit and cranberry in our glass Add in a vodka just like our dads
Starting point is 00:43:02 Even though they told us to stop They left the studio unlocked Snow on my nose, sea breeze on my lip Our dads had a single and we made it a hit Now your girl wants me to fuck her till I put home So you can sip on the breeze and you can suck my dick I believe every man should get grapefruited When you grapefruit your man, it's gonna feel as if you are giving him head
Starting point is 00:43:24 And fucking him at the same time. I think the next president needs to be a lot quieter, but send a signal that we're prepared to act in the national
Starting point is 00:43:32 security interests of this country to get back in the business of creating a more peaceful world. Please clap. Guys, I'm so sorry. I don't believe it. What version was that?
Starting point is 00:43:55 I was looking at it, and I thought it was Seals and Crofts, but I pulled out the tab that says Artists. This is actually credited as Seals andfts junior oh jesus so so we all know about like dr benedicto and little thriller yeah we haven't heard from them in a long time and wait there was another one there was peony there was tiny peony peony little peony young stunner and little peony maybe but no no young sniz or this was in the cape cotter episode because i remember they were rapping about going out on the cape professor professor pecker and and young sniz i think was the other one so now what the strangest thing to me is like seal seals and crofts is a duo yeah so then seal and seals and crofts is a duo. So then Seals and Crofts Jr.
Starting point is 00:44:45 is also two guys who are the two kids of the original. I mean, Tim, your guess is as good as mine. I thought it would maybe be like Seals Jr. and Crofts Jr. But they just recredit, it's just Seals and Crofts Jr. And then it seems like their names were Tiny Tony and Sir Slime. It seems like that. Sir Slime. I didn't get sir slime but i was so taken aback by the shift in the song that i didn't know what i was i was uh laughing i was distracted i missed some of the more vulgar lyrics yeah did you catch us jeff something about
Starting point is 00:45:17 you know it was really crass and really confusing i think one of, I don't know if it was Sir Slime or Tiny Tony, said something about, your girl wants me to fuck her till her butthole rips. I heard. That's what I heard. I didn't understand that. It was something along those lines. It was something about that. But it was about sea breeze also.
Starting point is 00:45:40 I don't know. It's just so weird because it's like this nice pastel colored drink you drink at the beach. And then now we're talking about orifices ripping and tearing and needing stitches even. And as if that was the plan too. That's what's so disturbing about it. Yeah. The girl would want that. That's amazing.
Starting point is 00:46:01 Not to kink shame, not to kink shame. No, not at all. But the thing to me is they got in there because their dads left the studio unlocked i thought was you don't hear that often about how an artist gets into what the access level i only know them for that one song and it's so weird they have a studio that they own that they have to keep under lock and key at all well my impression and this is just what i my hunch i mean mean, I guess. You did the research. You did the research.
Starting point is 00:46:26 Is that at first I was like, their dads told them not to, I don't know, maybe drink like they see maybe young, underage. Well, one of them's tiny. One of them's tiny. And then the other one maybe has a high voice or maybe that is tiny Tony. But then I was like, did the parents tell them not to drink or not to be in the studio recording music? Right. And I would like to think they told them not to be recording music and not
Starting point is 00:46:50 to drink around the equipment too. It's yeah. I mean, it depends on their age of junior, the junior guys. Yeah. You can be a junior and be like 40. Right.
Starting point is 00:47:00 Right. Right. Hmm. Huh. That, well, that was very exciting. And it's,
Starting point is 00:47:04 it's always nice to hear new artists i like them a lot i like that you i liked it i thought it was cool so you liked that because usually you know i thought we were all on the same page that we didn't like this sort of professor becker and little snizz and dr benedict well you typically don't like those guys but this one you this one you do i can't stand them this This was good to me. This sounded good. Another long period of radio silence followed, and we began to wonder what happened to these odd production duo slash rappers. They'd be name-checked on the pod once in a while,
Starting point is 00:47:40 such as in episode 171, Gin Fizz. Oh, God, who was it? Lil Thrilla and Dr. Benedicto.o oh yeah we're right they wanted to we came across one of their songs and there was a break in the middle that said everybody take a shot of gin yeah it's just those that's yeah and like you don't think of gin as a shooter you think of whiskey as a shooter those guys are off on a lot of stuff though you know a lot of things they do are just a little off they're weird you don't shoot gin but it is the off on a lot of stuff, though. You know, a lot of things they do are just a little off. They're weird. You don't shoot gin, but it is the basis for a lot of, you know, real cocktails. Storied cocktails.
Starting point is 00:48:13 Everybody take a shot of gin. That the bartender appreciates. And for the record, I hope we don't ever hear from those guys again. I mean, we haven't in maybe two years in the last two years, but I certainly hope they don't pop up. I wonder if they've run out of ideas or if they just don't have time to work on stuff. I don't know. I hope they don't
Starting point is 00:48:34 have time. A lot of time when people, you don't see people popping up, it's because they're actually working on a thing and they're busy. A lot of my favorite Instagram comedians. You think they're cooking up? Yes. Because when, think of your favorite comedians on Instagram. You're like, oh, every day I watch this funny video. And then suddenly they start getting jobs and no more free content.
Starting point is 00:48:53 They're staffed up. Yeah. That's what happened with me and Lilly Singh. Yeah. We thought we'd seen the last of the duos, but a recent appearance in episode 185, Orange Wine, let us know we may never be free of these strange and awful encounters. Have you guys heard that song, Orange Wine?
Starting point is 00:49:18 No. No. Well, actually, there's a couple of them now, because like we mentioned, it's sort of like having a moment. Black Odyssey's got one. Stella Cole's got one. But there's this other one. I kind of didn't even want to play it on the pod.
Starting point is 00:49:30 Oh, no. But you have to, Jeff. I mean. Oh, no. Now you've piqued our interest. I mean, it's kind of, it's worth playing, but because it's rising up the charts. It's not, you know, top 10 or anything. We got a lot going on.
Starting point is 00:49:41 Taylor and. Yeah. Beyonce and stuff. But here's one I found that Sam Smith, he's probably hanging out there somewhere. I'll play for if you want to hear it. We do. Yeah, absolutely. We do. We'd love to.
Starting point is 00:49:59 What's up? Oh no. We're back. Ready or not. Tiny Tony. Here I come. So slime. You can hide.
Starting point is 00:50:12 It's slime time, bitch. Oh no. Kicking back with some orange wine. Did you get that wine? It's easy to find. Steal a bottle of white from your dad's collection. And add a little bit of that orange complexion Red fruit coloring
Starting point is 00:50:28 Two drops Yellow fruit coloring I don't like it if it don't gleam Now come on Tony, let's do this dance now Damn, Daniel Damn, Daniel Damn, Daniel Back at it again with the orange wine Daniel Daniel Daniel back at it again with the
Starting point is 00:50:47 orange wine orange wine over a billion 300 million trillion trillion million dollars Trump just talks the talk
Starting point is 00:50:57 we walk the walk orange orange wine nah nah it's not funny I've got school oh no Oh, no, no, no. I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 00:51:12 I know. I hated that. Little Tony and Sir Slime? That's Tiny Tony and Sir Slime, Seals and Crofts Jr. Oh, right. They did that Seabreeze song a while ago, and we haven't
Starting point is 00:51:25 Heard from them In a while Or anybody like them And then their sons Teamed up to be A musical duo as well Right Seals Jr.
Starting point is 00:51:31 And Crofts Jr. Now Lamar These are artists Who have Unfortunately Graced our airwaves before These are terrible Artists that we've
Starting point is 00:51:39 Come across Jeff seems to know These guys better Than we do No I don't I like the build up though The build-up was kind of dope. They're getting better.
Starting point is 00:51:48 They're getting better. They're getting more complicated. Some information was wrong. Take some white wine and put the orange... Put the orange... It didn't hit as well after Mike had explained how it worked before. It's like the context of having
Starting point is 00:52:03 the real information in the fake letters. They could have used Mike's lecture for sure. Seals and Croft Jr. needs to we need to stop. This Nepo stuff is disgusting. There you have it, folks. Before we started listening, Jeff said it started
Starting point is 00:52:21 a long time ago and it looks like they're still up to... i thought we'd gotten rid of these guys for me too me too we thought we were in the clear it seemed like we weren't going to hear from them yeah uh they had maybe lost their money they lost their record contracts i don't know that's what i thought but they're back and oh aren't we so happy it's the worst. I would love to actually tour with these guys because I know they do big numbers. Which is even more baffling.
