14
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:07.680
Herowing guy on it now, Hey, Bubba, I might believe him.

15
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:14.400
The uh oh oh yeah, our
own Mike. You went to MAVs game

16
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:18.040
Saturday night. I didn't just go
to a MAVs game. You will helped

17
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.000
him blow the lead. Ah,
you, I was so close to the

18
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:25.159
action you could argue that I had
something to do with their defeat. I

19
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:30.640
will review a view of NBA basketball
that I have never in my life been

20
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:33.480
fortunate enough to enjoy. And I'll
do that at nine o'clock. Yes,

21
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:38.359
we talked to nose bleed Mikey at
nine o'clock. That's bleed at nine.

22
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:42.400
Let's do a little bit of Grammy
stuff. Guys, the it all went

23
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:45.120
down last night. For those of
you who don't care about the Grammys or

24
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.519
you didn't watch it, trust me, we're not gonna like get into too

25
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:52.840
many like nuts and bolts and like
this is kind of I'm talking about that

26
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:56.239
the big things that happened. But
I do think if you didn't watch it,

27
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.239
I kind of think you're missing out. Can I a opening statement,

28
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:07.400
please? I watched it. I
imagine every year I maybe take a swim

29
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:09.319
through a click through or some years
I watched a bunch. I have no

30
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:15.599
recollection of any history with the Grammys, but I watched I would say eighty

31
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:22.479
five percent of it last night,
and I loved it. And these are

32
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:24.919
may a lot of artists that I've
never heard of or just have heard the

33
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:30.520
names, a lot of songs that
I hadn't, wasn't, didn't know prior

34
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:34.360
to last night. The hell I
watched it for three and a half hour.

35
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:38.120
What was it on? Was it
three hours? Ye? Okay,

36
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:43.719
and maybe four minutes over they went
maybe they kept teasing Billy Joel playing a

37
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.560
new song for the first time in
thirty years or whatever, so they had

38
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:50.719
me on the hook for that.
But I really loved it. I agree

39
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.000
with you completely on the format and
how they keep it moving and it's not

40
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:59.919
It didn't feel like other award shows
where it's lame and slow. I really

41
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:04.879
really enjoyed it, including performances from
artists that I didn't know anything about.

42
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.599
If they'd have told you in a
recap watch after watching the whole thing,

43
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:12.560
and they said, okay last night
at the Grammys on stage that on the

44
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.439
televised version they only gave away five
awards. Would you believe it? Yeah?

45
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:19.439
No, is it did not feel
like that many. No, I

46
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:21.599
don't know how many the game.
I'm sure it was more than five,

47
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.199
but it was many. Yeah,
it was not many. They made this

48
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:28.080
decision a few years ago. They
said, we're gonna change this and let's

49
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.159
just go. Let's just make this
a big concert party. And Trevor Noa

50
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:36.960
does a great job of like knowing
the job. He's not trying to be

51
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:39.080
too funny, you know, she's
not trying to offend anyone. Yeah,

52
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:43.919
we're just kind of keeping it rolling, kind of quick hit one liners.

53
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:49.159
But I'll say the performance is what
I enjoyed the most, absolutely, with

54
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:53.159
one exception. I thought they were
all excellent. Who did you not enjoy?

55
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:59.159
Okay, it might be not get
but Travis Scott. Travis Scott did

56
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:01.479
the same performance five years ago at
the Grammys. No that I didn't understand.

57
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:06.080
So Travis Scott, he smashed a
bunch of crap and there was fire.

58
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:11.199
Yes, he had a pit of
chairs and fire and sort of speakers

59
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:15.919
or fake speakers in a circle and
he just yelled fiend, that's what he

60
00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:20.160
one hundred times and then smashed nothing
with the chairs kind of I can I

61
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:24.399
make an assumption on why you didn't
like that performance? Well, I admit

62
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:27.839
I didn't get it. Okay,
was it because half of it was bleeped

63
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:30.879
out? Okay? Yeah? That
that interrupts so much for me and I

64
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:35.720
love the ability to express yourself in
this country we live in and say anything

65
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:40.480
that you want on a record.
I love that. It's great, But

66
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:44.480
if you know you're going to be
doing something live, I think it really

67
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:49.759
compromises the integrity of the performance and
the and the flow of your song.

68
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:56.639
If seriously, man, every half
second the audio just drops because of an

69
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.680
expletive. You know you need a
radio edit that thing? Well, yeah,

70
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.160
yeah, get up there and yeah
sing it like you would the radio

71
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:06.000
edit, because I would have enjoyed
that performance a lot more had it not

72
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:11.360
just been constantly the sound dropped at
that account probably played a bigger role than

73
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:13.759
I could even It was my least
favorite performance too, and I think it

74
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:16.120
was because of that. Had hadn't
had the energy in the momentum not been

75
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:20.759
stopped and that whole vibe of that
tune could have just been continual, I

76
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:24.959
think it would have been a lot
more enjoyable. I don't know what it's

77
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:28.519
Kevin's Kevin and a n If you
have a direction, no, what do

78
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:30.519
you want to talk about? Tons
of audio and I kind of get it

79
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.879
in order, but what to expect
and I missed the very opening was that

80
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:40.279
du A Lipa didn't see it still
on the movable Jungle Gym. You should

81
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:43.720
go watch that. Yeah, pretty
impressive, sexy. Of course it's d

82
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.839
a Lipa, Yes, dull a
peep. Well. The first thing I

83
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:50.959
saw was they were talking about to
Luke Bryan. You're talking Luke Combs,

84
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:56.959
Luke comb Yes, okay. He's
talking about his history with his big cover

85
00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:00.240
of a fast Car, Fast Car, Tracy Chapman, and they have a

86
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:02.800
nice little story and I'm like,
cool, who doesn't like the song fast

87
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:05.399
Car? Like cool? I'm sad
to me, but yeah, God,

88
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:10.680
it's beautiful. And then they come
live and they start down at the waist

89
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:14.800
and show hands, and I remember
thinking, oh, that's I figured Luke

90
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:17.600
Luke Combs. Luke Combs. I
figured Luke Combs be playing the guitar.

91
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:21.120
But they have some guitarists. And
then they pan upward and it's a woman

92
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:29.839
and it's effing Tracy Chapman there,
who is beautiful and I'm not seen forever

93
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:34.800
and she looks so good and the
hair is so cool, and she has

94
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:41.639
this smile that illuminated the whole place, and I got goose bumps, and

95
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:45.360
I'm like I don't even know.
I guess she hasn't performed live for years,

96
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:48.519
decades, and I saw it was
on Letterman like during his kind of

97
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:53.759
last week of shows. I was
struck by just how gorgeous she was and

98
00:06:55.120 --> 00:07:00.399
she sings obviously it better than Luke. And then they do kind of a

99
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:02.639
back and forth duet of fast Car
and I was just blown away. And

100
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:06.519
from that moment I was locked.
That's probably what made me enjoy the entire

101
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:12.160
the entire night. That's the first
time through the evening that my eyes welled

102
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:15.399
up. Yep, and I got
teary eyed twice in this damn thing,

103
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.000
And for me, that was the
first one. I will say. I

104
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:23.040
love your positioning statement, and I
wanted to hear so much what you thought

105
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:26.720
about this, because you know,
Kevin and Mikey and I we pretty much

106
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.600
have a life thread going via text
message, and we just communicate anything that

107
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:33.800
we see or feel or think that
could pertain to the show. And you

108
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:36.680
know, some of the stuff it
doesn't relate to the show. But when

109
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:41.399
Mikey chimed in last night and said
that he thought that the Grammys were effing

110
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:46.560
incredible, I was like, really, because I think back to myself.

111
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:50.800
Hell, maybe not even five years
ago, that what we saw last night

112
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:56.879
is something that I would have gone
on the air and absolutely pissed on.

113
00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:01.800
Probably really just because of where you're
at, just because of where I am

114
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.839
and where I was, and a
different perspective, a different lens that I

115
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:11.000
maybe I am looking at things through
anymore. And I know it's not controversial

116
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:15.240
and it's not angering people with this, you know, this mindset, and

117
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.560
I don't care because I'm not gonna
be inauthentic to who I am right now.

118
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:24.600
But I loved it. Every bit
of it I thought was just outstanding.

119
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.319
Yes, sure, you can have
little criticisms here or there, And

120
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:31.480
did every single one of Trevor Noah's
jokes or bits just land like a freaking

121
00:08:31.679 --> 00:08:35.440
haymaker to the head? No,
some of them fell flat, and some

122
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:37.399
of them were cringey. And some
of the moments, you know, some

123
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:41.759
of the camera shots of you know, Taylor Swift standing the whole time and

124
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:46.120
dancing with that makes some people cringe. Yeah, probably, But I don't

125
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.639
know. I think I'm just gotten
to a point in my life where I'm

126
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:52.960
secure enough in who I am and
what I like and what matters that I

127
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.840
see something like that and I just
see a bunch of people. They're just

128
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:01.480
human beings that are freaking huge fans
that wield a lot of power, sell

129
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:05.919
a lot of records, and everybody
knows who they are, But when it

130
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.159
gets down to it, they're just
dorks like the rest of us. They

131
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:13.360
really are. No, did you
strip away all of that success and all

132
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.600
that notoriety and fame. They're just
goofy people that are there to have a

133
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.519
good time. I like what both
of you guys have said about it so

134
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:22.200
far because I used to dump on
them too, and then I don't know

135
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:26.720
when it hit me. I definitely
did have a big gap from like six

136
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:31.159
to fifteen of not listening to any
pop music, like avoiding it like the

137
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:33.240
play, And now it's like,
okay, I kind of like to be

138
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:37.279
in the know and be caught up
on some of these things. So yeah,

139
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.320
I do know that Olivia rod Rigou
was, you know, I do

140
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:43.639
know who Siza is. You know, I do know who these people are,

141
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.200
and I don't know why. I
just kind of care now, but

142
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:52.720
like this is a since they've been
doing this in LA for the last few

143
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:58.600
years. They had a common theme
of people showing up late, like traffic

144
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:03.240
being in. I'm gonna play it
to start outs. Taylor shows up late

145
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:07.200
and it kind of stops the whole
like opening monologue a little bit, as

146
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:09.879
her and her team kind of come
walking in late. Look look at this.

147
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.600
Look at this, I say the
names and they pop out Taylor Shrift.

148
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.480
Everybody, are you seeing what's happening
right now? As Taylor Shrift moves

149
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:22.320
through the room, the local economy
around those tables improves. Could you see

150
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:24.720
that? Look at this magic right
now? Look at this magic? Huh?

151
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:28.320
Lionel Richie now Linel wealthy? Look
at that? Okay, I liked

152
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:31.639
that pretty good Lineal Wealthy. I
was on board, and I was totally

153
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:37.120
on team team Lionel after watching the
We Are the World document around Netflix.

154
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:41.639
Cool dude, man, cool dude, it is kind of cool. Yeah.

155
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:45.200
I think I might have underestimated how
powerful he was or or it is.

156
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:48.519
At the time in the eighties,
there was no one bigger maybe Michael

157
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:52.759
as wish I was raving. I
did have to pull one thing because there

158
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.840
was a couple of times when Ed
Sheeran was shown. I think one time

159
00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:01.759
I thought I caught him mouthing I
didn't have an effing chance, but a

160
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:03.720
little superlative Trevor Nolla. Here,
just look at this table of me.

161
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:05.720
Are you kidding me? Right now? I look at us. Ed Sheeran,

162
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.639
huh, one of the greatest live
performers of all time, one of

163
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.120
the greatest songwriting of all time,
flew all the way from Timewan to join

164
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.120
us. Are you kidding me?
Is he one of the greatest performers of

165
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:18.159
all time? You know what?
Kevin? To some people, he probably

166
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:22.240
is. To some people, he
probably is. And that's the thing you

167
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:24.840
got to keep in mind. All
this crap is so subjective. Yes,

168
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:30.759
and I used to be so guilty
of just blanket hating anything that was popular

169
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:37.519
or pop or whatever. But man, there's a more people than are listening

170
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:39.600
to that than the crap that I
listened to that I choose to listen to.

171
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:45.559
So they're affecting people, They're giving
people joy, they're giving people a

172
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:48.799
distraction or a respite from their day
to day grind. It's easy to get

173
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.399
a hold of, it's easy to
grasp, it's easy for those hooks to

174
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:56.600
sink into you. I get it
why it's popular, and if that provides

175
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:01.639
some element of enjoyment to a lot
of people in the world. Good for

176
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:05.679
them, they're doing the Lord's work, in my opinion. Miley Cyrus had

177
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:11.480
her father's hair from what nineteen eighty
eight? Yeah, and she won the

178
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:15.799
award for Best Solo Pop Performance.
I did think it was a little awkward

179
00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:26.000
when she was trying to get the
crowd to get into it. Remembered name

180
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:37.919
and why not time? You don't
know this? Off it so Mary,

181
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.320
like you don't know this song?
She her, but the crowd the lack

182
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:46.360
of give a damn dude, that
crowd bad bitch alert Miley Cyrus last night.

183
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.879
You could just tell she doesn't give. Some of the people up there

184
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.840
and they say it on Mike say
all this means a lot to them.

185
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:56.399
Danny sort of made this point in
the break and I mean a crib you

186
00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:01.240
please, but yes, that how
many he's this Grammy? Did I win

187
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:03.120
this? This is all that matters? She You could tell and I think,

188
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:07.639
genuinely, I don't know many of
you were living a better life than

189
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:11.480
Miley Cyrus, at least with the
attitude that she portrays, which I bought.

190
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:13.320
And I thought that performance was great. I think she was going for

191
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:16.639
Tina Turner more than Billy ray Hare. Okay, yeah, maybe because she

192
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:20.519
had the shimmering dress and she was
doing the kind of awkward dances that maybe

193
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:24.639
only Tina Turner can pull off.
And the way she ended the song,

194
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:28.200
it was all like it was all
a tribute to Tina. But I was

195
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:33.720
I thought she came off pretty damn
cool. She seems pretty authentic, doesn't

196
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:35.399
she. Yeah, yeah, and
that song bangs. Dude, that song's

197
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:39.080
awesome, And that's like the whole
thing. She's like, come on,

198
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:43.080
the crowd kind of sucked every time
someone would go up to the microphone everyone

199
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:46.159
was talking. I think that's just
a generational thing. I don't think I'm

200
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:50.240
gonna say this too. Like if
Tomrito says, like, if you're one

201
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:52.919
of those people are like I'm tired
of award shows, blah blah blah.

202
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:54.840
I kind of get that because the
ward shows are way different than they used

203
00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:58.799
to be, well twenty thirty years
ago or ten years ago, even got

204
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:01.039
like fo were five of them within
a couple of months of each other.

205
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:03.919
Oh yeah, it's a word season, right, you all know it's all

206
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:09.279
coming at once, But like it's
also a thing where it used to be

207
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:13.159
before phones and the internet. It
was the one night of the year where

208
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:18.240
everyone who is someone as an A
lister or B lister got together and they

209
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:20.720
could be seen. And now you
see everyone all the time, so it's

210
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:24.120
it is less special in that regard. I do believe in that, but

211
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:28.519
I like the big events and the
pomp and circumstance. I have and loved

212
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:31.639
the Super Bowl halftime show so much. A few years ago I went back

213
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:35.039
and watched every one of them,
like the last twenty five years. It

214
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:39.159
was nuts. I like that crap. Now after Miley did that, they

215
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:43.919
had the cool I thought, says
this performance was badass to kill bill performance

216
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:48.919
missed it. Okay, So there's
a couple guys with like samurai a couple

217
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:54.039
gals with Samurai swords, and then
it's just a cool thing where a guy

218
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:58.919
like hung down owen Hart style and
punched him and then it showed the guy

219
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.600
go up and then he fall a
couple of seconds later in the back.

220
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:05.120
Really, it was like a lot
of choreography and stunt. Let's not bringing

221
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:11.480
up Owen Heart every week. Okay, he knows one wrestler Owen Heart,

222
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:18.279
Billy performed her song what was made
for the audience is talking a lot through

223
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:24.600
that. And then can I say
something about Billy Eilish? Sure? I

224
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:28.360
effing love her. I think she
is outstanding, her and her brother.

225
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:31.919
Have you seen her documentary? Yes, it's great, It's so good and

226
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:35.240
she is fantastic. One point that
I wanted to bring up when they did

227
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:39.559
Record of the Year is a record
of the year when they noticed when they

228
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:43.639
honor the songwriters or is it song
of the year songwriter? Okay, song

229
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.600
of the Year is something I noticed
and I don't know if I've seen this

230
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:52.720
ever before. Every single song that
was nominated, they listed all of the

231
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:58.320
writers, and every one of the
artists was represented as a writer and often

232
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:02.080
the main writer. Billy and her
brother were the only ones that did not

233
00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:06.200
have co writers. Really, yeah, every single other artist that was represented

234
00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:08.759
and Best Song of the Year had
it was their name. And then other

235
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:11.919
writers you don't know what percentage they
wrote. Maybe they wrote a lot of

236
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:15.679
it, maybe they wrote nothing and
they just get that credit. But Billy

237
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:19.440
and Finnigan were the only ones that
were solely credited for their own song.

238
00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:22.360
I think that's badass. Their process
is pretty clear, we hang out in

239
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:26.840
our room at our house. All
right, here's hijacker number one of the

240
00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:37.279
night, Taylor Swift, Right,
why is it down? Hold on my

241
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:41.080
lucky number. I don't know if
I've ever told you that. I want

242
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:45.799
to say thank you to the members
of the Recording Academy for voting this.

243
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:47.679
She said, thank you too.
Sorry, I thought I edited that.

244
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:55.200
I want to say thank you to
the fans by telling you a secret that

245
00:16:55.279 --> 00:17:00.480
I've been keeping from you for the
last two years, which is that my

246
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:11.119
brand new album comes out April nineteenth. It's called it's called The Tortured Poets

247
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:15.880
Department. I'm gonna go and post
the cover right now backstage. Thank you,

248
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:21.240
I love you, Thank you.
I just dropped an album on everyone.

249
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:26.839
Internet blows up. And I equated
this to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock

250
00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:30.920
WHOA when you go do something like
that and you're her. It was the

251
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:33.839
same way if it was Beyonce,
someone like that who has that status.

252
00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:37.640
You do something like that in the
middle of the night, You've deemed the

253
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:42.559
rest of the night meaningless unless there's
another hijacker, and there absolutely was.

254
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:49.160
Because winning the Doctor Dre Award was
mister Jay zhil yes and his speech.

255
00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:55.119
Uh, I mean, it's like
the only thing that could change the topic

256
00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:59.400
a from her releasing a new album. It was this. It may have

257
00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:02.759
been my favorite, my favorite part
of the night. I'm sorry. Cheff

258
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:07.960
and a Fresh Prince winning their first
Grammy in eighty nine and boycotting because it

259
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:11.759
wasn't televised, and then they went
to like a hotel and watched the Grammys.

260
00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:19.960
I didn't even understand what the It
wasn't a great boycott. But then

261
00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:23.799
ninety eight I took a page out
of their book. I was nominated for

262
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:29.079
the Best Rap Album, and DMX
had dropped two albums that year. They

263
00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:33.279
both were number one shout out the
DMX, and he wasn't nominated at all.

264
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:40.200
So I boycotted and I watched the
Grammys. I'm just saying, we

265
00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:42.400
just we want you all to get
it right. We love y'all, We

266
00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:45.880
love y'all, We love y'all.
We want y'all to get it right,

267
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:48.759
at least get it close to right. And obviously it's subjective. You don't

268
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:56.160
gott to clap at everything. Obviously, obviously it's subjective because you know it's

269
00:18:56.240 --> 00:19:00.799
music and it's opinion. Based,
but you know some things. You know,

270
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:03.799
I don't want to embarrass this young
lady, but she has more Grammys

271
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:07.119
than everyone and never one album of
a year. So even by your own

272
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:12.200
metrics, that doesn't work. Think
about that, the most Grammys, never

273
00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:17.319
one album of the year. That
doesn't work. You know, some of

274
00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:21.200
you, some of you gonna go
home tonight and feel like you've been robbed.

275
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:26.559
Some of you may get rob some
of you don't belong in a category.

276
00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:29.200
No no, no, no,
no, no, no, no

277
00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:33.119
iday No. When I get nervous, I tell the truth, all right,

278
00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:38.079
some of you might actually get robbed. I mean it's downtown La.

279
00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:42.319
So I think Beyonce's won thirty one
Grammys and has never one album of the

280
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:48.119
year. Taylor won. So that's
that's a we're mad at Taylor. I

281
00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:52.960
don't know. I don't know.
You can try, man, Yeah,

282
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:56.119
JJ Mike on please is that what
that is? No, that's not what

283
00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:59.440
that is? Okay, that's what
I'm asking. What is it? That's

284
00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:02.920
the fact that she's the most awarded
Grammy artist of all time and it's never

285
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:04.039
one album in the year. That's
what that is. Well, what if

286
00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:07.720
some people don't belong in the category. Some people just don't belong in certain

287
00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:10.640
categories. That's what that means.
People can take it how they want to

288
00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:11.720
take it, how they is.
That's how how do you take it.

289
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:15.519
I take it as some people don't
belong in certain categories. You take it

290
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:18.119
verbatim and don't read into it at
all, and then I mean people are

291
00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:22.519
going to take any run with it
as a but I don't understand. Yeah,

292
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:26.559
people on social have speculation. He
didn't say names. He was just

293
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:30.480
stating you think Beyonce liked him doing
that. I couldn't tell. Her reaction

294
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:33.960
was like, I couldn't tell.
She was just she was just like,

295
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:37.319
Okay, Jay, get off the
stage. Yeah, she's not like that,

296
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:41.160
that's what He's not like that.
Yeah, but she knows. She

297
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:44.440
knows that she has been snubbed for
album with You. Oh yeah, and

298
00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:51.079
that's the most prestigious album. And
Taylor was of the year last night,

299
00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:55.039
her fourth, the most of anyone. She passed Paul Simon, Frank Sinatra,

300
00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:59.440
and uh someone else. I'm forgetting
weird al it wasn't weird out.

301
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:02.960
Steven Wan, Stevie Wonder, Steve
Wonder, Yeah, Okay. Twenty ten

302
00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:06.519
Taylor won Best Album. When she
used to sing, she used to sing

303
00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:11.200
in a different voice. Taylor used
to be Country Carol. She won Best

304
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:15.680
Album both Taylor and Beyonce. Beyonce
was nominated that year for Album of the

305
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:18.160
Year two Taylor won. Now look, neither one of them deserved to win.

306
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:21.799
The winner should have been Big Whiskey
and the Grugrux King by the Dave

307
00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:23.440
Matthews Band, who was nominated for
Album of the Year that year. But

308
00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:27.720
you know whatever, you know,
I don't. I'm not winning the Doctor

309
00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:32.279
Drey Award anytime soon, so I
can't go say that. Tell yourself short,

310
00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:37.039
Kevin, you may win the Doctor
Dray Award one of these days now

311
00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:41.519
twenty Yeah, there's a couple of
more years like back won over Beyonce in

312
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:45.880
twenty fifteen. Was that for Sea
Change? That was from Morning Fase,

313
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:51.039
the sleepy album. That's great.
Yeah, No one like that year.

314
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:56.759
I love that. When when did
u Adlee got her in twenty seventeen,

315
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.759
that's kind of a perfect store and
people were gonna vote for Adele at that

316
00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:04.839
time. It seemed like Stgil was
up that year as well. And the

317
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:10.119
other one was twenty twenty. It
was for Renaissance last year and who won

318
00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:14.640
last year from a year Harry styles
Harry's house. I don't know who I'm

319
00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:18.519
mad at. I'm not mad anybody. I thought Tate had an odd night

320
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:22.680
because I was loving that because I
was like, you know, she gets

321
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:26.599
ripped on and I can find I
don't care, but she stands up,

322
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:30.160
sings along, dances big smile,
and supports the hell out of her friends

323
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:33.920
and other artists, seemingly all of
them know the words, right. I'm

324
00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:37.160
like, that's great and that you
emit that positivity and then yes, you

325
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:40.000
have everything in the world come back
to you and that's one of those secrets

326
00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:42.359
of life. But then when she
kind of got up on stage, it

327
00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:48.720
was very much about me, including
announcing her album and marketing. She kind

328
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:55.079
of no sold Celine Dion. I
was surprised she's taking heat for that,

329
00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:59.279
is she? Yeah, it's like
didn't acknowledge her and look, that could

330
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:02.759
have just been a mister of the
moment. Yea, yeah, it wuld

331
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:07.599
have been. I thought it was
great because look, and again subjective,

332
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:12.000
but I felt like if anybody other
than Sizza was gonna get Album of the

333
00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:15.880
Year, it should have been Lana
del Ray. That album is effing phenomenal.

334
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:18.359
It's unique, and I love her
and I love her her career and

335
00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:22.359
I think she's just outstanding and she
is an inspiration to a lot of those

336
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:25.799
girls that are up there, those
ladies that are up there. I thought

337
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:26.960
it was kind of interesting that she
brought her up there. I didn't know

338
00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:30.279
they were great friends. I didn't
know a lot of del Raven's friends with

339
00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:33.599
anybody. You know. Yeah,
yeah, I didn't know that either.

340
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:37.160
I had no idea that that that
she was bringing her up. Well,

341
00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:40.559
that was kind of a wild night. Yeah. Taylor went for Album of

342
00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:45.279
the Year, the other one,
you know, billy one, Song of

343
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:48.160
the Year, Record of the Year, which is recording. It went to

344
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:53.240
Flowers, Miley cyrus So, Three
White Girls. You know, well,

345
00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:57.079
I thought it was Tracy Chapman stole
the show, But I thought Fantasia was

346
00:23:57.119 --> 00:24:03.880
awesome. Don great tears for the
in memoriam with any Lennox doing said,

347
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:08.680
I mean that was that was really
heartfelt. It's kind of choppy, that

348
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:15.160
whole section, yeah, like moving. Yeah. They and then Jimmy Buffett

349
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:18.000
just pops in out of nowhere and
sings five seconds Will come Monday. And

350
00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:21.599
then and Rennix was there. I
don't know, that was just oddly produced,

351
00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:23.400
but yes, yeah, very good. And I thought that Jonny Mitchell

352
00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:26.799
thing was awesome too. To man, gonna be eighty something years old,

353
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:30.039
I had a brain aneurysm. I
didn't know that. I didn't know any

354
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:33.559
of that. To learn how to
walk three times right, I love saying,

355
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:36.720
you know, Johnny Mitchell is the
first one, the first woman to

356
00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:40.680
take your clothes off and go skinny
dipping, and the rest of the rest

357
00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:41.759
of the US are following. I
thought that was a pretty cool way to

358
00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:45.519
put it. But that was I
actually liked the song too, Yeah,

359
00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:49.039
pretty old song. I loved it. I can't believe it, absolutely loved

360
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:52.599
it. Some juice. It's good. Yeah, it's good. And then

361
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:56.880
they arrested killer Mike. Oh yeah. Maybe we'll get to that, you

362
00:24:56.920 --> 00:24:59.880
know a little bit later in the
show as well, along with other things.

363
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:03.119
MAV's doomsday clock is on. We'll
talk about that at nine, plus

364
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:07.160
Mikey's experience there and a lost legend
that will pay tribute to as well.

365
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:11.039
But now it's Dingo's morning News.
Listen to these headlines. Dude almost dies

366
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:15.119
eating McDonald's liquid Heroine, And what
