WEBVTT - NST Chat: 2024 Year in Review 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.720 I'm Manny, I'm Noah, and this is no such thing 0:00:03.840 --> 0:00:06.920 the show where we settle our dumb arguments and yours 0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:10.560 by actually doing the research. On today's episode, we are 0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:13.360 doing a year in review. We're gonna be talking about 0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:18.080 our favorite movies, music, and news events of twenty twenty four. 0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:24.200 There's no such thing, no such thing. 0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:27.320 Such, thank. 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:30.320 Such, thank. 0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:33.199 Such, thank you. 0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:39.760 All Right, last week we were off for Christmas, and 0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:43.320 we're still kind of in that weird week between Christmas 0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:46.080 and New Year's where like no one's really doing anything. 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:49.680 It's like a this work purgatory, and I think that's 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:55.120 being reflected in our episode this week. We promise we'll 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:59.480 be back with our regularly formatted episodes. Uh next week, 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.400 We've got some bangers lined up, so stay tuned for that. 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:06.399 But yeah, we're doing our year in review. We're talking 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:08.280 about our favorite stuff this year. I think we can 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:12.119 just start with movies. Noah, what was your favorite movie 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:13.080 of twenty twenty four? 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:15.160 So I was thinking about this, and there's still a 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:16.679 few big ones I need to see now that they're 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:18.000 finally all coming out at once. 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:20.480 Movies. 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:23.520 Yeah, basically I won't really be able to answer this 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:27.560 till February probably, but my number one movie, and I'm 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:29.240 not sure either of you have seen it is Between 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:30.000 the Temples. 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:32.360 I have not even heard of this, but it's yeah. 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:38.120 So it's It's with Jason Schwartzman and Carol Kane. She's 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:42.600 an elderly woman trying to get bot mitzvud late in life. 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:45.840 He's he works at a temple, but he's supposed to 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.240 like lead the songs there, but he he can't sing, 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:51.720 and he's dealing with a losing his wife and kind 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:53.760 of horrible past. 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:58.800 Missus O'Connor, joh I know you, Ben Gottlieb. Benjamin Gottlieb, 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:02.440 You're my music teacher. I worked down at the temple Sina. 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:03.040 I'm a canter. 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.400 So interesting because I'm in a query. 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:08.160 He's well odd canter and so it's kind of an 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:09.600 odd couple sort of scenario. 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:10.799 But it's really funny. 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:13.359 It's sweet, but at the same time doesn't like pull 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.840 its punches when it comes to kind of some uncomfortable moments. 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.480 I kind of had no expectations going into it. Just 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:21.000 saw it at BAM on a random day, and. 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:23.440 I was just so pleasantly surprised by it. And left 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:25.080 feeling reinvigorated. 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.280 I'm not sure if everyone would be able to connect 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:29.959 with it as much as me. Maybe, but I would 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:30.560 recommend it. 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.000 What do you what'd you throw on there? For The Letterbox? 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:34.799 Now, I'd probably give it pretty high. I think i'd 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:36.399 give it four point five star. 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.520 Wow. Yeah, it's up there an incredible film. 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.280 Well, it's your movie in a year. It's gotta be. 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:44.600 Oh. Not only not only that I like watching, but 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:47.240 I think I would like watching it again, even if 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:49.040 I watch it tonight, or if I watched it and 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.040 I can see myself watching it years from now and 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:54.040 enjoying it, which goes a long way. 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:58.280 I guess we don't want to spoil the The Letterbox 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:02.120 episode to come, but the fact that made by how 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:06.200 high your favorite movie of the year, it's pread. 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:08.440 Out honestly on a rewatch, I might even throw it 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:11.400 a five. We'll see. Wow, I'm opening up my heart 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:11.760 of it. 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.200 Wow, I gotta see this film. Yeah, I'd be curious 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:15.720 to hear what you guys think about it and check 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:17.600 it out. I've got like you'll have to bear with me. 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.679 I've got like my highbrow pick and then my kind 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.560 of more phone pick. The the high brow one. I 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.200 don't know if you've guys seen Evil does Not Exist. 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:28.200 Mm hmm, yeah. 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.440 I really liked it so last was that last year 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:33.440 or two years ago, was driving my car. It's like 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.000 the same director. I thought that one was like, oh, 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.040 like fine, like I enjoyed it. It was super long, obviously, 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:42.360 but uh, this time he's got this movie about this 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:47.280 community basically that's affected by like the construction of like 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:53.440 a glamping like social media site, and on the surface, 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.800 that's the plot, but like, underneath that plot, it's it's 0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.119 more about, like I don't know, some of the same 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.040 themes of the first the previous one, to human connections 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:05.200 and like all the little nuanced ways that we affect 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.240 each other's lives, like how the decisions I make might 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:13.800 affect Noah or Devin's lives, and how like really considering 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:17.600 that is important because otherwise we're just robots, or we 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:21.160 might as well be robots or these like inhuman kind 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:24.520 of figures. It's streaming on Criterion Channel if you haven't 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:26.800 seen it yet. But then my kind of like more 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:30.400 fun pick I really really enjoyed the furios of movie, 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.039 the Mad Max movie, and I was I think it 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.320 might have something to do with going into it with 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:40.479 like really low expectations because they they did that movie 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:45.279 a total disservice with the trailer, Like the trailers really 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:49.720 positioned this film as like this Marvel extended universe situation 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:53.719 where they're like all these like side characters and cameos 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.360 and stuff. But so I was like, oh, this might suck. 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.359 But I went into it and I thought it was 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:01.799 like really rad and doing a lot of cool things, 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:04.640 and you've got the classic George Miller like we're gonna 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:09.599 actually do the action scenes. And I left that movie 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:11.880 being like damn, like this is what this is what 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:15.200 movies are about. Yeah, I want to leave just like shocked, 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.279 like wow, I can't believe they did that and it 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:18.839 was and I thought it was incredible. 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:27.160 The question is I have it an you and I 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:28.120 might get an epic. 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.320 But I will also say I didn't get to the 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:36.280 movies that much this year. It was it was an 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:39.680 off year for me. Yeah, like for that to be 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:43.320 my pick feels a little off. But I gotta go 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:45.520 see some movies before the before the year ends. 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.160 Manny, what would you rate your those two picks? 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:49.840 Oh? 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:53.760 Evil does not exist? You know, it wasn't like kind 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.320 of like mind blowing, but it was like a solid 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:59.159 three and a half. I think at least I could 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:02.040 see it being a four if I were like an 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:03.760 especially mood that. 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:04.400 Yeah. 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.400 I really liked that town hall scene. Yeah, yeah, I 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:08.520 was locked in during. 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:13.440 That, leaned forward on the couch during that scene. And 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:18.920 then Furiosa probably a three. Okay, okay, yeah, best movie 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:23.560 of the year. Three favorite memorable. 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.520 Is already one where I was scrolling through just was 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:29.039 on on cable the other day. That was on and 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.680 I was like sat back for probably fifteen minutes watching 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:33.600 Chris all right, Devin. 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:38.520 Yeah, we're still movies. Uh, you know, obviously it's there's 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:40.880 the big ones of the year. I think guys are 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:44.120 on everyone's list, like the Dune two's Challengers. Those are 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.960 probably my two mainstream picks. 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:49.160 My challenges, my big, my big mainstream one. 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.000 Yeah, you know, it's it's incredible. 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:53.839 A lot of people have talked about that one, so 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:57.320 I won't waste more talking about it, and we'll talk 0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:02.279 about it later, yes on NFT, but I'm gonna go 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:03.080 with a different man. 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:06.200 So this is I don't know, have y'all heard of this. 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.159 Yeah, number two, that was like on my short list. 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:12.000 I loved it. 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.880 So the way I think about it and I think 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:17.160 I put in my letterbox review is like, this is 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:21.400 like if Charlie Kaufman made The Substance. So so the 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.679 premise is like this dude he has like a facial 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:29.880 deformity and he can basically goes to like get a 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:34.120 surgery to make his face look quote unquote normal. 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:37.920 But then a lot of things. 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:39.600 I don't want to spoil the movie because it's actually 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:41.320 very interesting and it's like one of those things that 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:43.240 as little as you know about it going into it, 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:43.880 the better. 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.440 Piece of man, Why are. 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:55.440 Remember me? That guy's amazing? 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:57.360 How do you know about who is he? 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:04.000 He's meeting a double like in Australia. 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:06.800 But it's funny because I saw it maybe a day 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:11.080 or two after I saw The Substance, and it felt 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:14.400 like they would make a great like back to back screening, 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:18.200 you know, sort of definitely in the same It's like 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:20.680 a smart, much smarter version of the Substance. It's a 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:24.840 much more layered and it's like I think sometimes you 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:27.239 can be like, this is like a Charlie Kaufman version 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:28.680 of this thing as like an insult. 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:30.720 But I thought this was like a. 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:37.080 Very good coughmin like world where it was like it's layered. 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:40.000 Everything's a little bit off, everyone's a little bit weird, 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:44.320 but it's also like you get the world pretty quickly. 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:46.960 Yeah, and it's not too hyper stylized or something where 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.160 it still feels grounded and it yes, even though it 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:53.040 What was pleasantly surprising to me was it pushed the 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:58.120 story way further than I expected. Yeah, without saying too much, 0:08:58.160 --> 0:08:59.760 but yeah. 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.120 Yeah, what you were you think it's gonna go is 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:03.680 over in like fifteen minutes, but then yeah, you know, 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:05.520 it's like, oh, where are we going to go from here? 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:07.080 The thing has already happened. 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:09.720 So the two of you do you think it? You 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.800 don't think it necessarily replaces the need for the substance. 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:14.560 You just know it should be like a back today. 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:18.240 They're different enough, they're very different, like someone This movie 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:21.760 is not as easy of a movie to contumee as 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:23.719 as something like the Substance. 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:27.600 Gotcha. I think if I'm only gonna watch one of 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.000 these movies, you you should. 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:31.320 Watch a different man. If you're only gonna pick. 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:35.280 One, knowing you what the hell does that mean that's 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:36.679 a compliment in this case. 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:40.320 Knowing you're a dumb ass you got Yeah. 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:42.360 Different, man, I'm saying like, if I had to pick, 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:44.640 like if you're if you're like between these two movies, 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.120 pick something that like a mainstream audience is gonna like, 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:50.040 I'm gonna pick the substance because it's a lot more. 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:53.040 It's different, Man's more interesting, Yes. 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:55.240 Got but it's also you know, you got to pay 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.280 a little bit more attention. It's been more layered. You're 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.720 gonna have a bit more questions. You know, probably show 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:02.720 your mom this. I'm gonna show my mom either. 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:03.319 Money is but. 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.840 And especially Sam was great. He's he's had a great 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:09.360 turn for me. 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:12.880 Yes, I'm I'm a fan. 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:16.319 Yeah, he seems like a seen. 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:18.600 The Trump movie yet, but I want to. I want 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:20.800 to see him. You don't need to no shaking his 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:26.960 head after what they did to my president. So I 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:30.480 think that might conclude our movies portion of the episode. 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:32.680 We can move on to music. 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.760 Now, Well let's start. Let's start with Manny because. 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:39.640 I was gonna say, yeahs not famously not a music 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:41.199 listener either, Yeah, uh. 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:44.280 And doesn't listen to music. 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:49.160 So we we all we're the last three people on 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:54.040 earth who still have Apple Music. Yeah, so our well, 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:55.920 I don't even know what they called Apple music year 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:59.400 and review rewind or replay rewind. We usually send it 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:04.400 to the group and every year Manny's numbers get crazier year, Like, 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:05.600 I'm like, I. 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:07.480 Don't even know your numbers are so to be. 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:11.800 Like sixty minutes, yes, like its top listen to the 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.319 song of the year, it's like three plays. 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:16.480 I was like, is this correct? 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:20.840 My top listened to artists? Unsurprisingly was Drake how many? 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.920 I listened to him for one hundred and forty two minutes. 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:30.520 That's that's like the album, Yeah, Scorpion from front to that. 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.000 Yeah, I don't know, I don't know. 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:36.520 I just artist of the Year is Future at sixty 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:40.400 five minutes. There's not a Future album at sixty five 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:41.040 minutes long? 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:44.880 Yes, I mean what do you do? Like, what how 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:45.760 do you hear music? 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:50.320 You know, it's weird when they when they rank it 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:52.840 that way, because I do, like if I'm at the 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:56.679 gym or if I'm like at home cleaning or something, 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:59.719 there is music on, but it's never like I never 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:02.080 listen into the same thing again, Like it just keeps 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:05.360 going and going, but just or something yeah, and so 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:08.600 it doesn't end up ranking like you'll never see any 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.320 like I never like Heart a song that I really liked. 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:15.160 So I'm I know. I do know that I listened 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:18.720 to music way less frequently than the average person. But 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.640 when you look at these ranks, it's like, Okay, I 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:24.160 did only listen to Drake for one hundred minutes, but 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:28.080 that doesn't necessarily paint the picture of how often I'm 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:32.760 listening to music. But speaking of Drake, this is a 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:37.960 good segue. There was, you know, as we talk about 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:41.240 our favorite music from this year, our favorite song, even 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:45.840 there was a very high profile rap beef that happened 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.240 earlier this year, and I don't think that this song 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:51.400 is necessarily my favorite song of the year, but I 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:53.800 but I don't think it gets enough credit. If I 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:54.360 may be. 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:57.080 Just what I think it's gonna be. 0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:58.000 I think so. 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:01.880 I think by far, the best song that came out 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:05.400 of that beef was Family Matters, and I think a 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:09.000 lot more people would agree if Kendrick hadn't been so 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:12.800 smart to immediately snuff out the hype around it by 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:16.439 putting by releasing his next song like that that strategy 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:21.600 around it completely just belittled what the song was. But 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:25.199 I think when you really go back and listen to it, like. 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:28.280 Barfest song, best song, as in like song you enjoy 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:30.760 listening to, most effective song in the beat. 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:34.760 It's the most dynamic, It has the best rap bars 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:35.439 in it. 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:39.040 Hey, kend you just open his mouth? Someone goll hand 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:42.040 him on Grammy? Right now, where Jon put that? Because 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:43.600 I want to tell to the man in the house 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:46.280 West Coast niggas do phase right, kunget this has woo 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:49.640 you want to take over forever? And Kung get his 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:51.000 legacy out of my house. 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:54.120 It's got all the switch ups, which are fun. There's 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:57.080 the layers of like how many people he's dissing in 0:13:57.120 --> 0:14:00.000 it as well, which is just like a fun exercise 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:03.360 to listen to now not like us. Don't get me wrong, 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:07.120 it's a gigantic song. Obviously, it's been played over and 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:11.640 over for the entire year, especially in you know, because 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:15.120 of what he's saying in the song. But and and 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:16.960 that's part of the genius of the song, is like 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.320 it coming out right after family matters and like no 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:22.640 one really talks about family matters. Uh, But yeah, I 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:26.800 challenge any like rap head to like go listen to 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:28.720 the songs back to back, read the pull up the 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:33.160 rap genius, read the lyrics. Uh you like that's I 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:35.600 do think that song is like better quality? 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:38.600 This is this is the this issue before during the 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:42.240 push a T. Drake Beef, where I think you have 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:46.520 a very different understanding of what is a good rap 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:51.080 beef song than I do. Not like Us obviously is the. 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:54.880 Song, yeah, the year period we agree on. 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:59.160 Outside of the Yeah, I get it it's not your favorite, 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:03.400 but you said it's the best song. And like we 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:06.560 also had this conversation around the pusha T Song. 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:11.160 Story of that and on character. Let me keep with 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:11.720 the facts. 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:14.400 You are hiding a child, but then boy come home 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:18.480 did beat motherfucker playing Border Patrol. 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:21.800 And you're like, oh, the song isn't really that good. 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.640 But it's like does it like we're not no one 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:27.080 is into a rat beef to be like, I'm you know, 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.840 I gotta you know, how structured is my song and 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:33.720 like I gotta make sure that like it's cohesive. But 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:35.920 I think like Us is a better song. 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:42.040 And that's about it. But here's the thing we're talking, 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:44.840 like this are two different conversations. Right, We're like, I'm 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.840 acknowledging that we're talking about rat beef. What's more effective 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.000 in a rat beef? That's not like us by a mile. 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:52.320 I'm just talking about you know, here's we get a 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:55.080 chance in the NST podcast to pick a song that 0:15:55.120 --> 0:16:00.440 we think maybe didn't get enough spotlight. And I do 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:02.680 think it's a better song. I don't think it means 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.160 he won the beef, clearly, not that was like the 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:10.280 most lopsided beef in rap history. Maybe, but yeah, I 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.040 think it's just such a I think I listened to 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.080 it the other day. I'm like, god, damn, this guy 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:16.440 was going crazy on this song and we don't talk 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:19.320 about it. It's not like us dropped eight minutes later 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:23.600 and that was it. Anyway, that was my pick. Okay, 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:25.320 it's a good pick, Devin. 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:29.000 You want to go sure, I don't. 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:32.480 I'm not a huge singles guy. Yeah, I mostly I 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:35.520 mostly listen to albums. So even looking at like my 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:37.960 top songs of the year with this Apple Music review, 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.320 it's just like it just becomes like, what are the 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:43.880 albums I listened to? Yeah, yeah, And it's like, all right, 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:46.200 here's ten songs from the album when You're twenty. 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:51.600 So my I'm not gonna do song, I'm gonna do. 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:58.200 My top album of the year, which is love Guess 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:04.720 Who by this artist named Altrey Novall. It's funny because 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:06.800 this year I was listening to a lot of the 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:09.360 same artists I was listening to in like twenty sixteen, 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:15.440 Like my top artists were mostly those artists Pine Grove, 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:19.960 Pine Grove, Yeah, how to Dress Well, yeah, you know 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.240 bone Beer back in there again album? 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:25.000 Well, that's you know, that's close. 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:31.840 But the Are One came out in November and it 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:34.280 was my top played album of the year, which is 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:40.120 kind of crazy. It Also, you know, I saw him 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:43.240 perform that album. He hasn't performed in you know, like 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:47.320 a long time, and I saw him perform the album 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:50.639 the day after the election, which was pretty wild and 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:54.520 kind of a weird headspace after also working for like 0:17:54.560 --> 0:18:00.919 two days after your president was elected. Uh noah, our 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:04.320 president to be like, do I president want to go 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:08.160 see a concert tonight?

This year, I had tough 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:01.880 time connecting to music this year. 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:02.840 I don't know so much. 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:04.760 Yeah, I don't know how much of that was me 0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:10.080 or if the new stuff just wasn't that good, especially 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:13.400 looking back, you know where I got my like Facebook 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:16.440 memory shit popping up, and I was like, looking back 0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:20.119 on some of my old lists of like favorite albums 0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:21.760 and stuff, I was like, shit, I used to listen 0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:25.280 to a lot of new music and like not playing 0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:28.480 it once but like on rotation throughout the year, and 0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:31.840 this year I was just like it was tough to 0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:33.680 like there was there wasn't a lot of new stuff 0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:34.520 that I connected with. 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:35.960 Yeah, I feel similarly. 0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:37.919 I think next year I'm gonna try to be a 0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:40.360 bit more intentional about it because I think also it's 0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:43.359 like I fucking hate the Apple Music UI and it 0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:45.840 wait forced you to basically just listen to the last 0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:50.280 three things you listened to yeah, yeah, or something completely random. 0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:53.920 So twenty twenty five. My goal is to be more 0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:55.600 intentional about listening to new music. 0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:58.399
