1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: You want to know what. I think the most non

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: casual thing you can do in life is fart in church.

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: I mean that is that's pretty not casual. That's like bold,

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: that's that's really yeah, that's extremely ballsy. Um. I feel

5
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: weird saying ballsy about church as well. That's just something

6
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: feels weird. Um. But that yes, that's a great one. Good.

7
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: That wasn't the one I was thinking of them. I

8
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: was actually thinking of what we did this weekend, which

9
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: is karaoke. Yeah, it's not casual. It's like it's an

10
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: art form that you have to take very seriously. At least.

11
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: We actually ended up on Sunday at the Wild Beaver

12
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: in Nashville, which, if you're not from Nashville, it's the

13
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: best bar in talent. Wow. I mean again, bold statement.

14
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: I mean I have friends who have and bregnant after

15
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: going into the world Beaver. Really by the mechanical bull.

16
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like that's what happened to me.

17
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm not gonna have to freeze my eggs

18
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: anymore because I've been impregnated by able and it's the

19
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: luck of the draw the dada the bull. I was

20
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: saying the bull got me pregnant. I feel like, you know,

21
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: the the bull, the people who operate mechanical bulls. When

22
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: you fall off and you're a girl, they do that

23
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: gross thing when they put the bull ahead and you're

24
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: like your private party area. It's so rude, so rude. Um. Anyway,

25
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: we ended up with the Wild Beaver. It's the Smoky

26
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: Bar down on off off Broadway. It's not even on

27
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: the Broadway, but they have a mechanical bull and karaoke

28
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: and if you're out for a Sunday Funday, which we

29
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: were for one of our friend's birthdays, Um, you just

30
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: kind of end up there and it's or I do,

31
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: and I end up there a lot. It's always on

32
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: a Sunday for me. And I think it's because it's

33
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: off Broadway, because it's you can you know that you're

34
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: gonna have plenty of space. You know, it's got empty

35
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: so you're gonna get to sing on a Sunday. You know,

36
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: nobody goes well, it's also like what are you going

37
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: to do on a Sunday? And there's you know, there's

38
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: limited options. Things aren't as lively as they are on

39
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: a different Friday or Saturday, a different day of the weekend.

40
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: So you want to have some sort of fun and

41
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: you want some sort of activity personally, I do. So

42
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: we chose karaoke. Um I got up twice. How many

43
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: times did you get up? Well that I remember, I

44
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: remember once, but you were up twice as well. I

45
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: don't understand how you don't remember the second time. I mean,

46
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: if it weren't for Instagram, I would literally i'd be

47
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 1: learning about it right now. We had so much night

48
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: left after that. So the fact that you remember, Okay,

49
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: so you came back to us, you came back for

50
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: the meal you probably did You're probably just starving. Um, So, yeah,

51
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: I got up. The first time I got up was

52
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: We Are the World, which I was the band leader for.

53
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: Thank that. I mean, you were amazing. I felt like

54
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: I actually felt like we really had a lot of

55
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: crowd involvement. It was it felt like a Michael Jackson back. Yeah,

56
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: it was a moment of unity. Yeah, I really thought that.

57
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: I feel like we healed some folks. Yeah, it was

58
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: like church. It was Sunday. It was church at the

59
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: Wild Beaver. Lots of tears. I didn't see the tears,

60
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: but I'll trust you on that one. I know I

61
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,839
Speaker 1: had people waving their arms back and forth. Yeah, we're

62
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: a lot of crowd participation. I just I don't know.

63
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: I've left that stage feeling like we had changed some people,

64
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: for sure. I find it odd though, I know, I

65
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: don't know what made that song pop into my head

66
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: as a choice because I've never done it before. That

67
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,119
Speaker 1: was your choice, Yeah, that's not surprising. Um, I think

68
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: it was because it was I was looking for a

69
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: big group song and I feel like I never hear

70
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: it song. But it actually is a great karaoke song,

71
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: great koke song. The second one we did not so

72
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: great for me, and you don't remember so obvious that

73
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: great for no. So here's what happened. So we were

74
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: sitting there. I actually think I had just written the bull,

75
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: so it was probably a little out of sorts. You know,

76
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: I got tossed, right. I've stayed on a long time,

77
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: really long time. I think that was the longest I've

78
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,679
Speaker 1: ever stayed on. I wish someone would have been countering

79
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: because I definitely feel like it was over eight seconds,

80
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: oh easily. I have a whole video of it. So yeah,

81
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: I mean I've posted that on my Instagram already. If

82
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: people message me enough, I'll repost it, you know, if

83
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: my fans want to see. I'm just kidding my for

84
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: running fans. Um. The inside of my inner thigh is

85
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: so incredibly bruised though, like it's so tender to touch. Okay, later,

86
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,119
Speaker 1: So I got off the bull and I go back

87
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: to the table, um sit on my stool and Ruben.

88
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: Our friend Reuben comes over to me and he like

89
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: looks at me very seriously and he says, Kelly have

90
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: a pr opportunity for you. And I was like, oh, really,

91
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: what's that? And he says you need to get on

92
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: stage and se toxic by Britney spears with me. He

93
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: says like I'm getting up to do it and basically

94
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,679
Speaker 1: acting like I was going to be his backup singer.

95
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, just like where I mean the punch

96
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: line is is that I set there for about a

97
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: minute more and there was no The girl gets up,

98
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: you know, they calls the karaoke and she just says Kelly,

99
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: and it's like silent in there, and I'm like I'm

100
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: like no, no, I was like no, yeah, I was like,

101
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: surely it is. And then she goes Kelly and then

102
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: you guys all start looking at me, and I was like, no,

103
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be Kelly and Ruben, Kelly and Ruben,

104
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: and she's like it just says Kelly, and so you

105
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: guys all start going Kelly Cally and it was a

107
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,239
Speaker 1: no and be that person. So I was like okay,

108
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: and I'm like looking at Ruben like fuck you, you

109
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: know whatever. But I get on stage and immediately like,

110
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: that's just not my karaoke song. I mean, I love Brittany,

111
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: love Brittan. Nothing worse than that first moment when the

112
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: song starts and you're like it and I'm just like, baby,

113
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: can't you see? I was so not motivated. I wasn't

114
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: feeling it in my soul. I just whatever. But I

115
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: looked around and I'm like, I have two choices, get

116
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,799
Speaker 1: off the stage or really on the moment at the moment, yeah,

117
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: I mean at casual, but don't at casual that yourself. Yeah.

118
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: So I started jumping up and down. You got up there,

119
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: you don't remember you body wrote a couple that's yeah,

120
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: thank you, take one for the team. A couple other

121
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: other Wow, she's still drunk. Drunk um. A couple of

122
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: our other friends got up there, and it was still terrible.

123
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: There was nothing about that performance that was good. I mean,

124
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,119
Speaker 1: it was so bad. I don't remember it. Yeah, you blocked.

125
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: That's what happened to you. It wasn't the alcohol you've

126
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: just had that this this traumatic experience was traumatic. Block

127
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: it out. I just talked to my therapist Buff. But

128
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: if it would have been my karaoke song, I would

129
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: have just owned it. But it was Rubens. And then

130
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: he like, did Ruben even get on stage? Oh? That asshole?

131
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: To set up a PR moment for him? I know,

132
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: I have a PR opportunity for you. What an asshole?

133
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: We need to bring Ruben on here? He would be funny.

134
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: So anyway, it got me thinking about what makes a

135
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: good karaoke performance, what makes a good karaoke song? What

136
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: are you looking for in that? You know, like all

137
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: of those little factors. There's a lot of things that

138
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: play here because it can either go really well or

139
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,679
Speaker 1: really terrible well, and there's two sides to it too,

140
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: because what we're there to entertain when we're in karaoke,

141
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: and we're there to be entertained. So it's so what

142
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: are you looking for? Are you looking for what is

143
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: your favorite song to perform or your favorite song to

144
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: be performed? Oh that's oh wow, that was a lot

145
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: to digest at once. Well, do you want to do

146
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: our our favorite karaoke? This is the way? No, no, no,

147
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: I want to pause on that because I actually feel

148
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: like you have a lot. I have a whole list.

149
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to that later. Let's do. Let's do.

150
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: What are you looking for? Like when you're a patron

151
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: at a karaoke bar, what are the things that you're

152
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: looking for? Um? I want to be entertained. I want

153
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: you don't say, well, you know, it's hard for me

154
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: not to go to the negative because it's so easy

155
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: to like be turned off by karaoke people. For sure. Um,

156
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: I want to see somebody having fun, whether they can

157
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: sing or not. And I want to see somebody like

158
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: giving it. They're all so just owning it, owning it confidence.

159
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: Make me have fun watching you? Right? Be an entertainer? Yeah,

160
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: I mean just because you're not a professional does not

161
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: mean when you get on that stage you are not

162
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: expected to entertain, right, But when you get up there

163
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: and you're like suddenly super shy. I'm like, why are

164
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: you on stage? Get off stage? Honestly, I don't don't

165
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: think that you can predict how shy you're going to get,

166
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: because that is I'm going to admit what sort of

167
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: happened to me with toxic. Well, you are also turned

168
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: off by the song. Well, that's what I'm saying. If

169
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: it's not the right song choice, and and you're just

170
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: thrown into it without knowing what you know. I felt

171
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: like I was misled. To be quite honest, you are

172
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 1: you were led down the wrong path. Yeah, and so

173
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: then exactly exactly, so, then I get on stage and

174
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: I look out and I see the five people in

175
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: the audience and I was like, oh god, I'm gonna

176
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: never going to get a record deal with this, never

177
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: going to get my record deal. Um so yeah, I

178
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: think I couldn't really fully put my personality through first

179
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: split second, and then I was That's when I was like,

180
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: wait a second, this is not another sip of your cocktail.

181
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: And actually didn't. They don't let you up there yet.

182
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: I tried to bring it up there and she said, now,

183
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: um yeah, so I just had to start jumping. That's

184
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: what I did to try to get the crowd involved.

185
00:09:54,160 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: I don't remember that either. Well you weren't up there yet. Yeah,

186
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: so what I think the song choice is super important

187
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: and that leads me to where I am really looking

188
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: for and that Okay, So what I'm looking for is

189
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: I want There's two things. One, I really want to

190
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: be kind of taken off and like brought back to

191
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: a moment like I need a little bit of nostalgia,

192
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, good throwback, like something that's gonna surprise me.

193
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 1: But also like in the best way it be so

194
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: excited and want to immediately start singing along like what

195
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: if I did Wang chung pardon probably too young for

196
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,719
Speaker 1: that song. God, I'm dating myself. I don't know that.

197
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to come up with a good example

198
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: of like a good throwback song like Unbelievable by E

199
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: M F. Unbelievable Yeah exactly because everyone knows it in

200
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: the second you start is not exactly what I would

201
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: have thought of to do, but it makes me want

202
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: to sing along high energy like you like that that

203
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: song can bring right and it can really involve the crowd. Yeah,

204
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: it's positive message. What are the things though? You said

205
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that can go wrong. Well,

206
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: and I don't know if this is unique to Nashville

207
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: or I mean, I've lived in New York, Los Angeles,

208
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: and Nashville, so it's where I've done the majority of

209
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: my karaoke. Um, the people that seem like they want

210
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: to get up there and act like they're professional, well,

211
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: that's extremely a bout in Nashville too, That's very I

212
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: think it's very specific to Nashville. Now. I feel like

213
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: I saw it in Los Angeles to It's like they're

214
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: all cities who are going to get a record deal exactly.

215
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: And here here's a little I comfort. I work in

216
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: the record business. Nobody gets signed doing karaoke, right, I mean,

217
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: it is lightning striking if it happens. Look, go and

218
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: do karaoke and work on your voice in your stage presence,

219
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: But I ain't gonna get you your deal. I think

220
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: that that is really bad. Here. We kept calling him

221
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: the Nashville pros that night, but it's like it's such

222
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: a buzz kill. It's like You've got people like me

223
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: and you up there singing toxic and we are the world.

224
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: And in the middle of that, remember that one guy

225
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: I wish I could remember what he's saying. But he

226
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: got up and he was so serious, and you kind

227
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 1: of think they worked there when they get up there.

228
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: I did, but he didn't. He I saw him adjust

229
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: knobs on things, like he was like fixing his levels.

230
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: He did not work there, like, but he clearly knew

231
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: how to work in karaoke machine. Right. But that's a

232
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: little annoying. It's totally annoying. But you know what I

233
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: love is when someone really unexpected gets up there, like

234
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: you know, it looks like Linda from the office, or

235
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: you know, it's like the lady from Accounts payable gets

236
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: up and she just like RiPPs something, but like has

237
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: a great time, isn't She's not trying to like come

238
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: across as a professional singer, but just like literally I

239
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: can think and I'm fun. Yeah. I mean it's such

240
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: a fine line because I think what you need is

241
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: maybe people who aren't looking for your serious validation, Like

242
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: nobody is serious in a karaoke bar, nor do they

243
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: want to be. That's why they're by it is because

244
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: they removed the fun from it. Yes, they make it.

245
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: They make it. People feel insecure about not being able

246
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: to sing. Change the tone of the whole thing, and

247
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: it's like it's just boring, it's not fun, and I

248
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: want I want it to be fun even if it's bad, right.

249
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: I mean it's like you have all these drunk people

250
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: up on stage and then you get up and you're

251
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: going to be serious, Like, come on, nobody wants to

252
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: see that. How do you think? How drunk do you

253
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: think it is too drunk to get on? Like? Is

254
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: there a level that you should not be getting on

255
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: stage to karaoke? I mean I feel like for me,

256
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: on a scale of one to ten, I would say seven.

257
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: Why seven? Well, I feel like sevens you're probably at

258
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: a point where you don't aren't going to remember it,

259
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: You're gonna have a hard time reading the words, You're

260
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: gonna give up halfway through the song unless you're having

261
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: a great time. Like seven could maybe be super beneficial

262
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: too for the right person, But I think generally when

263
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: you're like approaching sloppy drunk you don't want to be sloppy,

264
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: then it's probably you're too far gone. I think like

265
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: a good like mid like four or five six range

266
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: is good. Sweet spot? Yea sweet spot. I think that's

267
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: probably right. I think you need to be coherent. You

268
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: have to be able to read right unless you know

269
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: all the words by heart. Yeah, but usually even if

270
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: you know the words, you know, you get up on

271
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: the stage and it's like you can't hear the track.

272
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: You get off, you get a little little throne. I

273
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: do think I have to be tipsy enough to not

274
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: care very much what people think about me. So it's

275
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: a very fine line. So four to six sweet spot

276
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: I okay. I looked up on Marie claire dot com.

277
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: They did an article with the top twenty one karaoke

278
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: songs anyone can rock. Oh gosh, let's eight number one.

279
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: Are we going to go one first? No? You know what,

280
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: if you want to read all twenty one, maybe the

281
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: top ten, Okay, let me find that. I mean, I'm

282
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: gonna I'm just gonna read the ones I want to read,

283
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: because twenty one I like, it's a thousand miles above

284
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: Vanessa Carlton. No, I don't like that. I would die

285
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: if someone doesn't. You know what, that's a funny idea

286
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: for thirty seconds, and then you're like, why are we

287
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: still listening to Making My Weight Downtown? You know, it's

288
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: like funny is an idea is it funny though, if

289
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: it would depend on who it was, Like if you

290
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: got up there and did it, I would die, or

291
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: like Linda from Accounts Payable right, but Linda nailed it. Yeah,

292
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: okay twenty I actually love this one. No scrubs. That's

293
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: a great group. When like three girls get up there,

294
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: you gotta have a left eye. Yeah, Like someone really

295
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: unexpectedly just rips through the wrap section. It's Linda from

296
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: Linda from Accounts Payable. Every time you love this one,

297
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: Neil Diamond Sweet Caroline. I don't know that I love it.

298
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: It's just so common and I think it is good

299
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: for a room, Like I think part of being great

300
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: at karaoke is getting the everyone in the bar engaged.

301
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: Like why go to a karaoke barar to not interact

302
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: with a person on stage? Right? You know you're there

303
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: to do that or else? Otherwise, why are you subjecting

304
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,000

306
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,360

307
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: It's just all the time. But then when you're drunk

Speaker 1: and someone goes sweet Caroline, you better better. I am always.

309

323
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: but there's I feel like there's other Elton John songs

00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: the Blues. That seems like it would be boring to me, slow,

327
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,040
