[0:00:45] Andrew: Hello and welcome to Regulation Tune-Up 5. This is a special tune-up. It's the first one where we've had three people guessing. We will see how that goes. Move that Discord screen. Okay, now I can see what the answer is. You happy with that now? I'm just saying. The recording can't see it. You're whining about a thing that only you can see.
[0:01:06] Eric: My recording can see it.
[0:01:08] Andrew: Okay, well, that's your problem.
[0:01:09] Eric: You asked me. Yeah, I know when I was trying to fix it. That's your problem. I'm trying to fix my problem.
[0:01:17] Andrew: As a director, that's a great call out. As a director of your feed, you should definitely be calling that out. My feed looking great, assuming it's you. But this is Tune-Up. This is the show in which community members submit artists, and we use Spottle, and you guys have 10 guesses to try to figure out who they submitted. If they stump you, they get a unique role in our community Discord.
[0:01:43] Eric: You know, we've never done this as a trio thing. I'm really excited to try it with all three of us here. Nick decided he didn't want to play, so we're doing this as a trio, and we're going to see how this goes. I'm excited.
[0:01:54] Gavin: I feel like Eric will be providing about 45% of the knowledge. Jeff will provide 50. Oh.
[0:02:00] Geoff: Oh, I don't know. It depends on the time frame.
[0:02:06] Eric: Yep. And we'll find out. You guys want to crack with a first guess? Why don't we guess a shitty metal band from 2006 and see where that lands. What? Gavin, you think you're going to provide the least amount of help here, but I think you're going to get it in one. Why don't you take a guess? It's Nine Inch Nails.
[0:02:29] Andrew: Oh. There we go. Nine Inch Nails is the first guess. It is wrong, however, it is a male artist or band. Okay. And they debuted within five years of 1989 prior to the.
[0:02:46] Eric: More popular than Nine Inch Nails, so they're above the thousand.
[0:02:50] Andrew: And they're not popular, not three people, not rock, not from America.
[0:02:56] Geoff: Ooh, what if it's George Michael or Wham? Let's try George.
[0:03:02] Eric: Let's try George Michael.
[0:03:03] Gavin: What have you been, 85? Yeah, it would have been within five years.
[0:03:06] Eric: Probably sometime around there.
[0:03:08] Gavin: Not American.
[0:03:08] Andrew: George Michael is the guess. George Michael is correct, Jeff. And you're crazy at this game. What? You're so good at it. You've gotten one off the first guess. You've now gotten one off the second guess. I'm floored. I'm absolutely floored. James O'Hara can eat shit because you got it in two. Wow. Wow. Absolutely crazy.
[0:03:38] Eric: Who, uh, and who's going to end up getting a badge off a crazy second guess? James O'Hara. Oh, man. James. Oh, Christ. I'm not getting one.
[0:03:46] Gavin: Oh, he's still going to be a regulation stumper. That was an impressive game, Jeff.
[0:03:50] Eric: That was incredible.
[0:03:51] Andrew: Now we move on to game two.
[0:03:52] Eric: Beginner's luck. Wow. That was crazy. Don't we feel it for pick number two? Jeff. Jeff, you got it in two. Why don't you just take another crack at it? Uh, okay.
[0:04:02] Geoff: This is our audience.
[0:04:05] Unidentified: Uh, how about, I'm going to say, uh, Randy Newman.
[0:04:12] Geoff: What the fuck? Randy Newman. Hell yeah. I don't even know if he'll be on here. I don't think he's going to be on this thing. Oh, this criminal.
[0:04:18] Andrew: Oh, that's a shame. That's a shame. He's not on it. He didn't make it. In that case, I'm going to, I'm going to say Phil Collins. There you go. Let's see. Phil Collins is the guest. Phil Collins is on here. Putting it in.
[0:04:32] Eric: Okay. Well, they're British. That's all you got from that. That's a good piece of help though. It is not rock and female. Do you think it's Spice Girls? Ooh, I think that's a great.
[0:04:43] Andrew: Now it could also be mixed. Okay. Okay. I think Spice Girls is a good choice though. Let's try. Yeah. You want to do Spice Girls? Okay. Check out the 90s. Guess number two. We're just firing them out. Yep. Sappy. It's a piece, say girls.
[0:05:00] Eric: Spice Girls. Oh, okay. UK. Within five years. 96. And it's not female, so it would be mixed. Not pop. Male and female, not pop.
[0:05:15] Gavin: It's got to be rock then, surely.
[0:05:17] Eric: No, it's not rock.
[0:05:18] Gavin: Specifically, I've had rock.
[0:05:19] Andrew: That was your first guess that you eliminated.
[0:05:21] Gavin: What other types of music have mixed?
[0:05:25] Eric: It's going to be alternative or metal. It's going to be some metal band. Could be anything.
[0:05:32] Geoff: British metal band.
[0:05:34] Eric: Maybe not metal. So what else? Hip hop, maybe. We know it's not solo, and we know it's not five.
[0:05:41] Andrew: So it could be any number between, or more than.
[0:05:45] Eric: Yeah. British. British. Late 90s, early 2000s, British. More popular than Phil Collins.
[0:05:54] Geoff: Kevin, how old were you in 1996? I was eight. All right. What were you listening to from eight to 13 in the UK?
[0:06:05] Gavin: Probably the cassette that was in my mom's car still. From the 80s. That was a big help, man. Thanks.
[0:06:12] Geoff: Take that. Did they have girls in the band, though, did they? No. Oh, God, no. No, no.
[0:06:19] Eric: Speaking of age with music. We need to narrow down the year, I think, is the hard part. Um, because I think until we figure out what that is, it's just going to be a crazy, just like stabbing in the dark. But it's hard.
[0:06:40] Andrew: They can approach this a lot of ways. You can pick wrong answers, but just provide more info. Like, you don't have to try to hit every box if you want to narrow it down. You can just throw an artist that doesn't fit anything but a genre type to be like, okay, we know it's this genre, or maybe, uh, you want to pick a different year, like an artist you know would have debuted around, whatever. But you kind of already got year. You kind of know what you're looking for in range. Right. Uh.
[0:07:07] Gavin: Was there a woman in Chumbawamba?
[0:07:09] Andrew: There was a woman in Chumbawamba. There was a woman in Chumbawamba. You think Chumbawamba is on here, but Randy Newman isn't? I think that will there be a lot of them. Potentially.
[0:07:18] Eric: I'm ready to get knocked down, but get up again. Let's try that.
[0:07:22] Andrew: Okay.
[0:07:22] Eric: I think that was definitely.
[0:07:25] Geoff: Oh. No, that's a shame. Damn it. No Chumbawamba.
[0:07:29] Eric: That was a solid guess, too. Got to get out of the tub. Was Pulp, was Pulp the early 90s? I feel like Pulp was the early 90s. Like, yeah. Yeah. Was that Javis call Colonel that? Is that, yeah. In Reims? Yeah, it's got to be before.
[0:07:48] Unidentified: Yeah.
[0:07:49] Eric: What the fuck? The thing that's. Who's British? You know what? I wonder if I'm stuck in the 90s too much, and it's going to be something like 2001. You know what I mean?
[0:08:00] Gavin: Oh, it could be, yeah.
[0:08:02] Eric: Because it's going to be.
[0:08:02] Andrew: What I like about this game is that we're establishing, if you guys don't get it within two, you're hitting a wall. Yeah. Yeah.
[0:08:08] Eric: I want good guesses.
[0:08:16] Unidentified: UK. Later than 96, but not by more than five. It's the mix that I'm struggling with. Yeah. Yeah. Me too.
[0:08:27] Geoff: I would have said like MIA, but it's not a solo artist.
[0:08:29] Eric: No. The thing that I'm really hung up on is that it's not rock and it's not pop, but it's a mixed group. Like, that's crazy. What is, where's Evanescence from? Are they British? Probably not, right? I don't think so.
[0:08:43] Unidentified: Yeah, I don't think so. That might get us closer with the year, though.
[0:08:50] Eric: Yeah, do Evanescence and let's see. That's fine. Okay. We know they're not British, but that's okay.
[0:08:57] Andrew: Evanescence.
[0:08:59] Gavin: Oh, it must.
[0:09:00] Eric: It must be 2001-ish.
[0:09:01] Andrew: So it's between 96 and 2003. It is mixed. So it's, so it's. Mixed UK 2000. And more popular.
[0:09:09] Geoff: And more popular. Mixed UK 2000. This is going to be something that's on our, it's going to be on one of our playlists we made. Yeah.
[0:09:18] Eric: And again, we're not hitting rock.
[0:09:24] Andrew: The thing with an artist like MIA is I never, I always like second guess it because what if like they have a DJ technically? Yeah.
[0:09:32] Unidentified: And they count that? Oh man. What is, what the fuck is British?
[0:09:45] Gavin: What the fuck is British? Yeah. It's not. It's not five people. British. Also, holy shit, Evanescence is five people.
[0:09:53] Eric: I didn't, I did not know that. I didn't. I thought it was two. Yeah, me too. I like, that's way too many people.
[0:10:01] Unidentified: Can, what year was Coldplay do you think? Ooh.
[0:10:08] Eric: 90. Oh, you think it was in the 90s? Damn. I just wanted to poke it like getting closer to like the year, but you're probably right. God, the fucking genre is killing me. It has to be like alternative or metal. What about like, uh, was blood, did block party?
[0:10:29] Geoff: Was that, that's that era, right?
[0:10:32] Eric: That is that era, but I don't think there was a woman in that band. And that probably be like considered rock, I guess. Yeah. Yeah, probably. I don't think, I mean, they might be alternative.
[0:10:40] Geoff: Did gorillas have a girl in it?
[0:10:42] Eric: No. And gorillas is just one guy. Oh. It's a guy from Blur.
[0:10:47] Gavin: I thought it was Blur and some other guys.
[0:10:50] Eric: Is it some other guys? I always just think it's him.
[0:10:52] Gavin: Like Damien, what's his name, and a bunch of other people. I thought there were a couple.
[0:10:56] Eric: Uh... Yeah, yeah, yeahs are from New York. Yeah, they're, no, so it'd be rock. But it's, yeah, and it's that time.
[0:11:03] Geoff: It is that time, for sure. Eurythmics way earlier. What about like Snow Patrol? That's around then. Is there the girls in that? The Libertines? Was that a girl band? I don't think so. Oh, what if it was music I don't like? Fuck, what are they? S Club 7 was pop, wasn't it? Yeah. S Club 7?
[0:11:24] Unidentified: What's that? No, no, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
[0:11:29] Eric: No, no, that's too late. I was thinking of the Ting Tings, because it's two, it's British, it's mixed, but I don't know what it's gonna classify as.
[0:11:41] Geoff: Dude, all I can think of is fucking Amy Winehouse. Yeah. Yeah.
[0:11:45] Gavin: How many people were in Amy Winehouse?
[0:11:50] Eric: See, like, the S Club 7 thing is good, except there's seven people and it's pop, and like, I don't think it's gonna, I mean, the S Club 7 might work. It is.
[0:12:01] Gavin: You wanna try it? But there's no way that more, S Club 7 was more popular than Everdez.
[0:12:06] Eric: No, that's true, that's true. Yeah, and I don't think the Ting Tings are either. Fuck. I didn't even think about the popularity thing. Damn it.
[0:12:16] Geoff: We have to pick something.
[0:12:17] Andrew: I know, I know, I know. You gotta pick something. We don't. And it's, you got a lot of room still. I know you wanna make good guesses, Eric, but you got shots you could fire, try to narrow in on, in your brain. What year was MIA? Okay.
[0:12:32] Geoff: Like, 2002. Oh, wow. Oh, really?
[0:12:36] Eric: 2004. I think so, 2003, somewhere around when. So it doesn't quite fit what we're looking for. Close. I don't think so.
[0:12:44] Unidentified: Close. Is B, no, Bjork's not British. Iceland. She is, the whole time. Bjork! Funniest moment at CKY.
[0:12:55] Eric: Dude, it's, the British thing is killing me. And I know it's, I know. I know it's gonna be some stupid British metal band.
[0:13:07] Gavin: Oh, but remember, this game thinks Fleetwood Mac is a British band. It's definitely not Fleetwood Mac. It's not Fleetwood Mac, but that caught us up last night.
[0:13:18] Geoff: Things are a little sketchy. Was there, there wasn't a girl in Oasis, was there? It was just the two brothers.
[0:13:23] Eric: No, unfortunately. And Oasis came out before the year 2000. So I think that that's not gonna be, um, it's close, though.
[0:13:31] Andrew: I mean, with the debut, it could be 97, 98, 99. It's just, it's between these two.
[0:13:38] Geoff: 97. It's 22. We already said Spice Girls, huh?
[0:13:45] Unidentified: We sure did, yeah. The second one.
[0:13:49] Geoff: How about the Kill, or the Kills? Killers are from The Kills? That wouldn't be popular enough. Yeah, The Kills was a guy and a girl. Florence and the Machine. Is Florence and the Machine British? Florence and the Machine. Let's try them.
[0:14:06] Eric: Is Florence and the Machine British? Who cares?
[0:14:11] Andrew: Florence plus the Machine. I mean, she herself is... Hey, all right! Okay. Four members mixed.
[0:14:18] Gavin: Oh, that doesn't help me at two. Four. Four.
[0:14:21] Andrew: Nuh-uh.
[0:14:21] Gavin: Was there an S-Club 4?
[0:14:29] Eric: More popular, too, than Florence and the Machine and Evanescence. There wasn't a girl in the darkness, was there?
[0:14:36] Gavin: No.
[0:14:37] Eric: And also more popular than Florence and the Machine and Evanescence.
[0:14:41] Gavin: Justin Hawkins, Dan Hawkins, and the other ones.
[0:14:43] Eric: So, we're not even close on the year. That's... I thought Florence and the Machine was way earlier than that.
[0:14:52] Andrew: I mean, it's not... You haven't hit green on it yet, but I think you can be pretty definitive in saying it's not pop or rock. No, right?
[0:14:59] Unidentified: Should we be thinking hip-hop?
[0:15:08] Geoff: Yeah, but what is that? It's ice... Yeah, but name a lot of popular British hip-hop. With four people. With four people. Anybody that comes to mind, like... Lil' Sims, but that would be like 2018. Uh...
[0:15:24] Unidentified: I think Mystique was all women. Don't know what that is. Mystique with a Q? The X-Men? No, not that one.
[0:15:41] Gavin: Oh. No, that'd be pop. I was thinking Steps.
[0:15:44] Geoff: The fuck is Steps? But you never know. It might mislabel it.
[0:15:50] Gavin: I don't know what... What else it could be other than pop?
[0:15:56] Eric: It's just... It has to be, like, alternative, right?
[0:15:59] Unidentified: I mean, I would think so.
[0:16:01] Geoff: That was the era.
[0:16:02] Unidentified: Right? What was that band? Oh, wait. It's four members. Shit. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, man. Four members. Mm-hmm. One, two, three, four.
[0:16:25] Geoff: Not a five. Band had three members. You'd need to add a member to get there.
[0:16:28] Unidentified: Mm-hmm.
[0:16:32] Eric: Dude, it's killing me to not know... I bet it's killing the audience right now to listen to. Yeah.
[0:16:39] Geoff: Yeah. This is gonna add it down to where it looks like we solved it in, like, eight seconds.
[0:16:43] Eric: Hell, yeah. Thank you, editor. Thank you, editor.
[0:16:47] Unidentified: What is British that debuted in, like, the late 90s, though? Oh, Garbage. Oh!
[0:16:57] Gavin: I don't think it was earlier, though, wasn't it?
[0:17:00] Geoff: Yeah, but look...
[0:17:01] Gavin: I think it was, like, 97, 98.
[0:17:02] Eric: Yeah, but do you think it'll give it to us for alternative?
[0:17:06] Gavin: I don't know. I mean, they also sang the 1999 Bond song, so they were definitely...
[0:17:11] Eric: Well, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right. We've also got to pick something. We don't have to pick anything, Jeff. We can keep pulling it over. We have to pick some boys. We don't have to do anything, Jeff. Stop trying to force Gavin's hand here. Okay.
[0:17:30] Gavin: Is there a woman in Keen?
[0:17:34] Andrew: Dude, I have no idea. He just keeps naming X-Men.
[0:17:38] Gavin: Is there an X-Men? I don't know.
[0:17:41] Unidentified: Oh. I've just never heard of the band. Four people British.
[0:17:50] Gavin: Don't think there was a man in the Sugar Babes.
[0:17:53] Unidentified: What the fuck? Probably not the Beatles.
[0:17:56] Gavin: The shitty Beatles. Yeah, we're just going to have to fling out some wrongs just to get closer with something.
[0:18:01] Eric: Yeah, I think I really need to know the... I need to know the, like, genre.
[0:18:09] Andrew: Yeah, you're in a record store right now, and you don't know where to look. Yeah. You're just looking all over. You can narrow down the section. I find that, personally, to be helpful when I play this game. So, to narrow it down, what are you thinking? What genre do you want to aim at?
[0:18:22] Eric: I want to aim at alternative, just for the time frame. But I also want the year.
[0:18:31] Unidentified: So, like, Jeff, what's a 2000s alternative? Arctic Monkeys. I think that's not quite 2000. No? Arctic Monkeys? When did they come out? 2006?
[0:18:49] Geoff: I would think. I think they were, like, right around 2001, 2002, but I could be wrong. I hate this game. It's got to be between 98 and 2000. What is it? 99 to 2002, essentially?
[0:19:05] Andrew: It could be 97, 98, 99, 2000, 2001. I know. You guys, you know what? It can't be. You can actually narrow it down, because it's within five years of 96. Yeah, of 96 and 2003.
[0:19:17] Eric: And also, it's within five years of 2003. So, it eliminates 96. It eliminates, what? 96, 97, and then 2002, 2003? How many people were in the Zootons? What the fuck are you saying?
[0:19:31] Gavin: Well, I guess that'd be rock. I don't know. It's impossible.
[0:19:35] Eric: It's talking about DC now. I know. I know. The alternative thing is the thing that really, that kills.
[0:19:41] Gavin: I think the Zootons killed the X-Men.
[0:19:42] Eric: I've been hearing that. Is, oh, man. I'm just, I'm thinking, I'm just, I'm riffing, I'm thinking out loud. Like, blonde redhead. I'm just going with, like, groups with women. Snow Patrol. Snow Patrol is no women, but the year might be right. Sonic Youth. No, the year isn't right on that. The 80s. Let's start slinging stuff in.
[0:20:09] Gavin: You want to play in Snow Patrol? Yeah. There's not a woman, though. They're going to be rock. No, but it might guess. Oh, is, would that count as rock? Probably.
[0:20:19] Eric: It is, but I bet it counts.
[0:20:22] Geoff: What about, like, the, them, crooked, vult? What would that be later? That's way later.
[0:20:29] Andrew: Sounds like you guys could use just putting in the most alternative, alternative band you can think of.
[0:20:34] Eric: I mean, that would be Nirvana, would be the most alternative, alternative band.
[0:20:38] Andrew: Do you want me to put in Nirvana?
[0:20:39] Eric: No. Fuck no. Do not try to force Gavin's hand, Andrew. I'm just, I'm trying to insist. Do not. Do not. At all. What was the thing? Does Postal Service have a girl in it? It does, but I think that's, I think that's later.
[0:20:58] Gavin: Does it have a different number than four or five, though? Oh, we know it's four. Jesus. It's impossible.
[0:21:09] Andrew: Stupid. You guys are halfway there, technically. Oh, my God. It doesn't feel like it.

[0:22:16] Geoff: It's going to be something I've never heard of.
[0:22:18] Eric: Yeah. The British thing is so fucking hard, dude. Andrew, do you think that we've heard of it?
[0:22:25] Unidentified: Yeah. Oh, shit. Yeah, you know what it is, huh? I do. I hate this game. I hate it. We need the genre.
[0:22:36] Eric: Yeah, we have to have the genre. Yeah, so what do we do? Because we need to know if it's metal or we need to know if it's alternative or whatever. Should we just put in something that we know is alternative and just say Nirvana just to get it there? Yeah. Oh, so now we're putting Nirvana in. All right, we're not putting Nirvana in, guys. We're not. We're not putting Nirvana in. We're not. We're not putting Nirvana in.
[0:23:00] Unidentified: We're not.
[0:23:01] Eric: Nope. Nope. We're sitting here and we're thinking about it.
[0:23:08] Geoff: Well, dude, don't try to force Gavin's hand. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
[0:23:13] Unidentified: Uh, I mean, I, well.
[0:23:20] Andrew: The difference between game one to game two is so funny. We fucking crushed it and then it was just that. A massive wall for 40 minutes.
[0:23:31] Geoff: When was the Libertines? Did they have girls? Is that more than four people? Feels like it'd be more than four people.
[0:23:39] Eric: It's probably, it's probably four people and it's probably all dudes. And is it rock? I don't know how anything is classified on this fucking site. I don't fucking know. The thing is, we're going to get it. This might be my favorite thing we recorded. I'm going to be so mad.
[0:24:02] Geoff: When was like Tame Impala or something like that?
[0:24:05] Eric: That was later. That's definitely later. Yeah. Has to be later. Damn it. I know. We just, we just need to get something in there that can guess at metal and guess at alternative to see if that is where it's supposed to be. I just don't, I'm not, I have no confidence in putting something, putting something in that's like, yes, this is alternative.
[0:24:35] Geoff: Uh, all right. Just pick a hip hop artist and then we'll knock out rap. Just put M, try MIA.
[0:24:44] Unidentified: Okay. MIA. Put MIA in. Okay. So we know it's not hip hop. Okay. So we know that hip hop.
[0:24:51] Andrew: Not hip hop. Within five years of 2005. So now you can narrow out the nineties completely. So it's got to be. 2000, 2001. Yep. 2002.
[0:25:04] Gavin: But I thought it was within five of 96.
[0:25:06] Eric: Yeah. So 2001. So yeah, 2001. It wouldn't, five of 96 would be 2001. So 2001 or 2000. Yep. Uh, do we want to put in something that is, do we want to put in something that is, what was I listening to in 2000? Is there, do you think it's a new metal band? I did like, like we were already.
[0:25:31] Geoff: I can't think of a British new metal band with male and female members. I can't think of a British new metal band.
[0:25:41] Eric: I mean, Evanescence is the only thing that I think of, right? Like off the rip. From England? No, no. We already tried Evanescence.
[0:25:52] Unidentified: Uh. What the fuck? I'm thinking so hard.
[0:26:02] Eric: Andrew, you think we, you think we've heard of this.
[0:26:04] Andrew: Like we've heard of this.
[0:26:04] Eric: Mm-hmm.
[0:26:06] Unidentified: Damn.
[0:26:06] Eric: How, how confident are you?
[0:26:08] Andrew: 100% confident. Oh, wow. Oh my God. I mean, they're, they're more popular. They're like top 350 or 338. Wow.
[0:26:18] Unidentified: So why don't, why don't we know it? That's a great question.
[0:26:24] Geoff: 2000, 2001, British, four members, pretty fucking popular. Let's start thinking festivals. Start thinking who's showing up and playing at Bonnaroo. You know? Yeah. Who's on the reunion tour? Who's having their 25th anniversary this year?
[0:26:45] Unidentified: Man. The crickets. By the sounds of it. Fuck, man.
[0:26:54] Geoff: Metric, but they were Canadian. And they wouldn't be big enough. Have we said it already? Like, is it gorillas somehow? His inability to answer is a yes. Was there a, was there a woman in gorillas? Was that asked at me?
[0:27:12] Andrew: Andrew didn't know that was to him.
[0:27:15] Geoff: That's great.
[0:27:16] Andrew: I thought he was talking to you too.
[0:27:18] Geoff: That's a great recovery.
[0:27:19] Andrew: I would never answer that question either way. If I answered that question, I feel like that would give you more info than any of the other boxes.
[0:27:29] Gavin: Yeah.
[0:27:30] Andrew: So I'm not, I'm not responding to that ever.
[0:27:33] Gavin: I don't know how many people are in gorillas.
[0:27:36] Geoff: But what kind, what genre is gorillas? Oh yeah, dude, I don't know. I mean, hip hop, pop, or rock. I would feel like it would.
[0:27:45] Eric: How about like the verve or one of the, is that a. I think that's, I think, I think that's earlier though. I think that's like late nineties. I don't think it's 2000.
[0:27:53] Gavin: Like Ashcroft shit.
[0:27:55] Eric: How about Veruca Salt? Oh, that's way earlier. I think. Well, so it's also, and also I don't think Veruca Salt is going to be in the top three 50.
[0:28:05] Unidentified: Hmm.
[0:28:06] Eric: I don't want this person to have the thing in the discord. I don't, they're not allowed to have it. We have to find out what this band is. Should we nail in what genre it is? Like, should we put like an alternative band to see if it's alternative or a metal band to see if it's metal, the way that we just did hip hop. Sure. What is an alternative band that we want to zero in on though?
[0:28:37] Andrew: Nirvana's pretty alternative. Put the gorillas now.
[0:28:44] Eric: Put gorillas now.
[0:28:49] Andrew: Gorillas. Oh my God. It was the gorillas.
[0:28:55] Eric: I don't, I don't understand. Gorillas is a, how is gorillas a mixed band?
[0:29:00] Andrew: So let me, let me explain. I was doing research as we were doing it. Cause I knew there would be questions. They're considered mixed because of the virtual band members, not the recording. This sucks. This sucks.
[0:29:12] Eric: This game doesn't know what the fuck it's doing.
[0:29:15] Andrew: I was also surprised that they weren't hip hop, but I, on the Wikipedia, the leading thing is alternative. God, that's not, that's shit.
[0:29:23] Eric: Not alternative. Nothing about that. They got the year right. Apparently like I, I want to say that if you selected that band, that's fine. This isn't on you. This website saying that it's for people with mixed gender.
[0:29:39] Andrew: Out, out, out, outrageous. It, when Jeff said gorillas and it got passed over, I was delighted. And then when I looked at the wiki and saw that they were mixed because of the virtual band members, knowing how upset you all would be, I was delighted. I was so happy. The members.
[0:29:56] Gavin: But now we move on to the next round. I'm serious. Who says there's four virtual and three non-virtual?
[0:30:02] Eric: This sucks. It also sucks. It's great, isn't it?
[0:30:05] Gavin: It's 1998.
[0:30:06] Eric: This doesn't make any sense.
[0:30:09] Gavin: Is Wikipedia wrong?
[0:30:10] Andrew: What makes sense is this next round. Who wants to open the guesses? Sorry to Riley Wigmore for getting shut down on that last one. Yeah, put S Club 7. S Club 7. S Club 7.
[0:30:27] Gavin: Ah, shit. No.
[0:30:30] Eric: What a shock. Let's try, just try Nirvana.
[0:30:36] Unidentified: Okay.
[0:30:39] Andrew: Sure you don't want me to put in S Club 5?
[0:30:40] Unidentified: Yeah.
[0:30:43] Andrew: Mail. They're men.
[0:30:45] Eric: Or male. Oh, before. Or man. Before 89. Less popular.
[0:30:52] Geoff: Not. Not rock. Not American.
[0:30:57] Andrew: For the record, you're trying to prevent Jarzan from getting a role in the disco.
[0:31:02] Geoff: I mean, the first person, the first person that comes to mind, but I think he would be more popular than 172 would be Elton John. I'm fine with that. Try it. Then we can figure out if it's British. Yeah, I don't think it's a bad guess. That'll... Elton John.
[0:31:17] Eric: Oh, nice. Okay, so almost British? What is almost? Adjacent to the UK. What is almost British?
[0:31:24] Andrew: So it's like region, essentially. So if it was American, it was Canada, it'd be yellow type thing.
[0:31:31] Eric: Okay, so what's next to the UK? Ireland. Ireland. Who's a solo male singer from Ireland? But newer than 1969. Yeah, and not pop and not rock. Hip hop?
[0:31:47] Unidentified: From Ireland? There's no way. What?
[0:31:58] Geoff: There's no way it's that dude I did this so all right on, is it? Like, he wouldn't be in here. Who? David McWilliams, the Irish dude from the 70s. I did a so all right on him. I don't know who... No, it's newer. There's no way. He wouldn't be in there. I don't know who that is.
[0:32:16] Eric: The 3 o'clock Flamingo Street, dude. Oh. I mean, you can start typing his name in and see if it shows up.
[0:32:21] Geoff: If David McWilliams shows up, it's him. But it won't be... He won't be there. Okay. Then who else is Ireland? And from the 80s? Do you think Wales would be yellow?
[0:32:34] Unidentified: No, Wales is in the UK. Yeah. So it'd have to be Ireland. Well, France is pretty close. Do we know anyone from France?
[0:32:46] Geoff: Yeah.
[0:32:48] Andrew: Personally, no.
[0:32:49] Geoff: Jacques Braille. He's from Belgium, I think. Also pretty close.
[0:32:55] Unidentified: What'd you say? Pretty close as well. Yeah. Who's the guy that did... Is that the guy that did Namaquite Tapas?
[0:33:02] Eric: I don't know any of the words you're saying. I'm like along for the ride on this one because I'm fucking... What the fuck? I feel like Gavin.
[0:33:10] Gavin: I think knowing it's near the UK is worse than it just saying...
[0:33:14] Eric: Yeah!
[0:33:17] Geoff: Yeah, Jacques Braille, right? That's the guy that did that. He's like the... After? Most famous singer in France. But he's Belgian. Did the guy from the Pogues do anything by himself? Oh, maybe.
[0:33:34] Unidentified: Yeah, he had solo stuff.
[0:33:36] Eric: Did he? I don't know. I'm just thinking of anyone that's like in the... Solo male is nuts.
[0:33:46] Unidentified: Solo male between... Oh, it's got to be in the 70s. Oh, the 80s. Do you think we've heard of this one, Andrew? 100%. Wow! It's not rock and it's not pop. Did Bono do anything solo?
[0:34:05] Geoff: Not that I'm aware of. Me neither. I'm not. I did just learn yesterday that Billy Joel had a heavy metal album before he was a piano singer. Oh, I heard about that. And it's like notoriously bad, right? It was voted one of the worst albums ever made. That's awesome.
[0:34:25] Eric: That's so cool. We should listen to it.
[0:34:27] Geoff: Apparently, Wikipedia has a list of worst albums of all time.
[0:34:31] Eric: That's... Wikipedia seems like a place for fact. And that seems like a place where... It's pretty fucking crazy.
[0:34:41] Geoff: Okay, so it doesn't have to be... It could be France. Probably in the 70s or 80s. Who was popular? Solo artist. Solo is the thing that is killing me.
[0:34:57] Unidentified: What the fuck? Who's that dude?
[0:35:03] Eric: Can't think of his name. Do I know? I don't know any French singers. I don't know who... You... What was the name you were saying before? Jacques Bael. Do you want to just put that in and see?
[0:35:15] Geoff: Well, I don't think it's going to be Jacques Bael because Andrew guarantees you guys have all heard of this person and none of you have heard of him.
[0:35:22] Eric: Yeah, but we might be able to narrow down a country off of it. Okay, try Jacques Bael.
[0:35:28] Geoff: It's J-A-C-Q.
[0:35:31] Eric: Andrew doesn't know how to spell it, which means it's not the name. And that's fine, but... No, it's not going to be Jacques Bael. It should be, yeah. J-A-C-Q, right?
[0:35:42] Geoff: No?
[0:35:43] Unidentified: Yeah.
[0:35:43] Geoff: J-A-C-Q, try.
[0:35:46] Eric: Nope. Okay, so not Jacques Bael. Okay, so we don't start that. You want to try Jacques Bael? What else is around the UK?
[0:35:56] Unidentified: The Isle of Man. Would Iceland be close?
[0:36:06] Geoff: Where's David Bowie from? Ooh. England, isn't it? Why, I assumed, but I didn't know if he was technically from... What about Phil Collins? Is he British? He is, but he's...
[0:36:20] Unidentified: All the Beatles? After 69.
[0:36:24] Eric: Yeah, but we're talking about solo stuff. That's true. So, like, that's why I asked all of the Beatles, because did they do anything solo until the 70s?
[0:36:35] Gavin: Are you saying Liverpool is outside of the UK?
[0:36:37] Eric: I don't know if one of them is, like, George is really from Spain. Like, you know what I mean? Like, oh, he was, like, born in another... You guys... Up until recently, Gavin, you guys were all in, like, a whole big union over there, so I don't really know how it works up until recently.
[0:36:51] Geoff: I feel like all of their solo work would have been considered rock or pop, though.
[0:36:56] Eric: Yeah, that's true. Oh, how about Cat Stevens? Oh! Is he British? What is he?
[0:37:04] Geoff: Yeah, he's British. Well, I don't know what part of, what flavor of England he's from, but I know he's British.
[0:37:10] Eric: That's what I'm saying.
[0:37:10] Geoff: Somewhere over there, yeah. That's what I'm saying. Probably also counts as pop.
[0:37:15] Unidentified: Yeah. Cat Stevens is pop?
[0:37:20] Eric: Or what would you consider, folk, maybe? Yeah, right. Who else is British from that time? Peter Frampton? He came alive. That would seem like that would be rock. That's true. It's true. It ain't that. And the less popular thing is the other thing that's getting me. Like, it's gonna be down on this list.
[0:37:40] Andrew: I also want to point out that the most alternative alternative band of all time is rock.
[0:37:47] Eric: This, dude, this thing sucks. Is Paul Simon, like, from over there or whatever?
[0:37:59] Unidentified: No.
[0:38:00] Geoff: No. I think he's pretty American.
[0:38:03] Andrew: All right. I wasn't laughing at the guests. I was laughing at just saying people's names and saying, they're from over there. He's one of them blokes.
[0:38:10] Eric: Somewhere over there. He's one of them blokes, or what is he?
[0:38:12] Andrew: One of them.
[0:38:13] Geoff: Who's the Edmund Fitzgerald guy? He's Canadian. Damn it. Would that be considered British adjacent? Because it's a commonwealth?
[0:38:26] Eric: It's a part of the United Kingdom.
[0:38:29] Gavin: Should we be thinking if the queen's on the money? Oh, fuck.
[0:38:37] Unidentified: That makes it more complicated.
[0:38:39] Eric: What's that guy's name? Jarzan? Gordon Lightfoot. Gordon Lightfoot. Can you just type it? Don't guess it. Just type it in and see if it's on here.
[0:38:54] Gavin: Isn't he a Canadian Scientologist?
[0:38:57] Eric: Is he a Scientologist? That's cool. All right. I don't see Gordon Lightfoot. That's good to know. Well, it's not him, then. No. Narrowing it down. We have to figure out the country. We have to.
[0:39:17] Gavin: Should we just guess someone we know is Irish?
[0:39:20] Eric: Yeah, who's Irish? Oh, Cranberries? But they're like a 90s band.
[0:39:26] Unidentified: Yeah.
[0:39:26] Eric: You can go with U2 and see what lands. Go with U2. I know it's not solo, but it's... Try it. What the fuck is next to Ireland? It's Ireland. What is near Ireland? Shit. Within five years of 89, but... But... It's above... So it's above five years of 89, or 1980, but not within... So it's like 85. Yeah. So not within 89, which would eliminate 85 and 84, right? So it's 1981, two, or three. And is it just... Not rock.
[0:40:02] Unidentified: Could all of Europe be England adjacent? That's what it seems like. Possibly. Yeah.
[0:40:11] Geoff: Who was big in 1983? Not Michael Jackson. Uh-uh. Oh. Elvis Costello?
[0:40:25] Unidentified: Where's he from over there? He's English, isn't he? Probably. Is that Clint McManus? Yeah. Is that his name? McManus? I think so. That sounds Scottish. Who the fuck...
[0:40:40] Geoff: Who the fuck is European? Duran Duran. That would be British. That's a bunch of guys. In a band.
[0:40:50] Eric: That's a bunch of boys. Is it a bunch of solo boys? No. I think they're... Together, they become a band.
[0:40:58] Unidentified: Mm.
[0:40:58] Eric: Yeah. One Hit Wonder? Oh, One Hit Wonder is a good... That's a really good...
[0:41:05] Geoff: This is like a Rickroll situation?
[0:41:09] Eric: Oh, what's that guy's name?
[0:41:10] Geoff: Rick Astley.
[0:41:11] Eric: Rick Astley. Where is he from?
[0:41:14] Gavin: Rick Astley was actually from Spain.
[0:41:17] Eric: Is he just straight... Is he just like normal British? I think so. Oh, bummer.
[0:41:22] Geoff: No, it's gonna be like... He was actually born in the Isle of Wight. Or whatever.
[0:41:28] Gavin: Yeah. Oh, it's gonna be like Italy or something, isn't it? Something annoying.
[0:41:33] Eric: Yeah, it's gonna be like Baltimore. Like Jungle Boy? What was that one? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Though it's gonna be... It's gonna be the fucking Buggles.
[0:41:44] Unidentified: This is the hardest game in the world.
[0:41:52] Geoff: Is it a... Could it possibly be... What's his name doing his Jamaican album? Tim Curry? Tim Curry?
[0:42:01] Eric: I don't think Tim Curry's gonna be on this list, but Andrew, can you type in Tim Curry for us real quick? Why wouldn't that be okay, though?
[0:42:06] Gavin: You think it would go to Jamaica?
[0:42:07] Eric: All right, so no Tim Curry.
[0:42:10] Gavin: All right, I thought Tim Curry.
[0:42:11] Geoff: Sad to check. Man, I feel like we've named some really solid options.
[0:42:20] Eric: Male singer, not British, but near it, is, like, disgusting. Like, what the fuck? Andrew thinks we know who this person is. 100%.
[0:42:29] Andrew: 100%? I would describe this submission as diabolical. Wow, really? What? Yeah. Wow. Because it's so easy? Uh, the Gorillaz one, I think, is accidentally diabolical. This is just what I saw, and I went, oh, that's just straight up diabolical.
[0:42:53] Gavin: Is it solo, but somehow two people?
[0:42:56] Andrew: I don't know what that means.
[0:42:59] Gavin: Like a conjoined twin situation?
[0:43:02] Andrew: I don't know.
[0:43:05] Eric: As far as I'm aware, they're not a conjoined twin. We gotta keep thinking in terms of the one-hit-wonder stuff, I think. I think you're right for that.
[0:43:16] Gavin: We gotta think of way less popular people, though.
[0:43:19] Geoff: Or, like, is it a bad person? Is that why it's diabolical? Is it the guy from The Lost Profits? Or, like, Gary Glitter? That would have been around the time frame of that dude, right?
[0:43:30] Andrew: No, I'm not, I didn't mean diabolical in a moral sense. Okay, thank you.
[0:43:37] Gavin: Yeah, there should be a seventh box that just says cancelled. Yes or no?
[0:43:43] Eric: Okay, I'm gonna start riffing on 80s one-hit wonders that are solo guys that I can think of. Okay. Taco, putting on the Ritz. Oh, that's a good one. Falco, Amadeus. I thought Falco was a band. Is it? I thought Falco was his name like Star Fox. You might be right. Can we try Taco, putting on the Ritz? Can we just try Taco? He's not gonna be on here. Taco? Okay.
[0:44:12] Geoff: Bummer. Who was the Simply Irresistible guy?
[0:44:15] Eric: Oh, that's, uh, yeah, what's his, uh, Robert Palmer? Robert Palmer. Try Robert Palmer. But he's definitely British, right? I think he was English. Well, and he's also not on this list.
[0:44:29] Unidentified: Prime presents Perfect Pairings. What pairs with Reacher on Prime? Reaching for a sparkling punch delivered with Prime. It's an unbelievable feeling when you're enjoying a punch. At the same time, Reacher is enjoying punching people. Wow, he's still punching people. Entertainment meets fast delivery. It's on Prime.
[0:44:59] Ad read: Grégoose believes in the art of living, in choosing the pleasurable over the practical. It's why we craft our premium vodka in France using pure spring water from Genzac. And while you hear the celebratory bump of our cork reminding us to make every martini cocktail count. So, go on and make every moment count. Because there's no better time than now. Grégoose. Make time wait. Sip responsibly.
[0:45:29] Eric: Jesus Christ. What the fuck is next to England? Gavin, what else is next to England?
[0:45:36] Unidentified: I was thinking of Robert Platt. He... Did he have solo stuff in the... He... I don't think so. What do you see at the Honeydippers?
[0:45:46] Geoff: Hmm.
[0:45:48] Eric: He's just a pretty British, I think, right? Not rock and not pop is, like, insane. Like, what is this? British. British, like, British, like, soul.
[0:45:58] Unidentified: British solo 80s. But not British. Maybe, like, a song from a movie. Where was Howard Jones from? Oh! Yeah, but I don't know if Andrew knows who Howard Jones is. Hmm. Where's Herbie Hancock from? This is the worst game in the world. Gorillaz. Shit.
[0:46:23] Geoff: What if it's, like, a theme? Oh, what if it's, like, a theme to a television show or something? Oh! Do you know what I mean?
[0:46:37] Eric: Like the, like the, what's the...
[0:46:39] Geoff: Yeah, like, what if it's something like that, and that's why it's diabolical, because you know it, because you know the TV show. Or it's gonna be, like, Billy Joel, and it's gonna be, like, yeah, it turns out he, America is adjacent to England, if you back far enough out of the map.
[0:47:01] Gavin: Well, we know it won't do that, because of Nirvana.
[0:47:04] Eric: Yeah, the, the, the rock band Nirvana. This is, this is a, this is crazy.
[0:47:12] Gavin: From the early 80s. Andrew, who do you think it is?
[0:47:20] Eric: Gorillaz. Early 80s. Can we try Falco? Can you just type it in, see if it shows up? I don't think it will. I think it already did.
[0:47:33] Gavin: European male solo.
[0:47:36] Eric: Where is the guy that, when did Electric Avenue come out?
[0:47:42] Gavin: Oh, Eddie thingy.
[0:47:44] Eric: What's his what?
[0:47:46] Gavin: What's his name? Eddie someone?
[0:47:48] Eric: Is it Eddie? Can you type in Eddie? Can you just, okay, let's see. Okay, I don't think it's, it's not Eddie.
[0:47:55] Gavin: It's not, it's not Fergie. Wait, did I say Fergie or Fergal? Sure did. Fergie. Oh, okay.
[0:48:02] Unidentified: I wish it was Fergal. I couldn't see the dot on the eye.
[0:48:06] Geoff: What if it's, what if it's, what if it's diabolical because it's somebody like Ozzy Osbourne. Oh.
[0:48:15] Eric: Type in Ozzy, type in Ozzy, type in Ozzy, type in Ozzy, type in Ozzy right now.
[0:48:20] Gavin: But he's from Bloody Boat.
[0:48:22] Geoff: Shut up. I know, but that's not how you spell it. That's Lizzo. That doesn't mean anything.
[0:48:28] Unidentified: You want me to put it in? Yes. Yeah.
[0:48:32] Gavin: Okay. What's most famous Brummie? Well, we know it's more popular than Ozzy Osbourne.
[0:48:38] Eric: Yes.
[0:48:39] Gavin: And it's not metal.
[0:48:40] Eric: And it's also not rock and it's also not pop.
[0:48:46] Gavin: What? We're not going to get this one, are we?
[0:48:49] Eric: It's also not music.
[0:48:52] Geoff: It's going to be like Chuck Mangione or something like that. Yeah, right. Do something stupid. Some fucking popular 82 saxophone artist that I've never, that I guess technically I've heard of.
[0:49:03] Eric: The most populous saxophone. Can you just type in Baltimore, but don't submit it?
[0:49:12] Unidentified: Yeah, of course.
[0:49:13] Eric: I just want to see if it shows up. Was that one guy?
[0:49:16] Unidentified: I don't know. Okay. It doesn't show up. It's okay.
[0:49:21] Eric: It's not, it's not British. It's like, it's Italian.
[0:49:24] Gavin: You just want to guess something Italian?
[0:49:26] Eric: I'm trying to guess something. It's not fucking England, Gavin. All we get is, we know it's not Ireland and it's close to the fucking UK. I'm trying to get, I'm trying to get off an island.
[0:49:36] Geoff: So we know it's 82 or 83. Yes. So what was fucking big? I was seven. What was I listening to when I was seven?
[0:49:51] Gavin: Anything French?
[0:49:53] Geoff: Belgian? I was listening to a lot of Juice Newton when I was seven. Did you just make that up? No, I really, I was really into playing with the queen of hearts. Oh, I didn't really smart.
[0:50:05] Gavin: That's it. And, uh, is there a Dutch singer? I'm just trying to think of what's around.
[0:50:18] Eric: Is Wang Chung more than one guy? Is Wang Chung just one dude? Is his name, is that just like maybe his name? Like his name is Wang Chung?
[0:50:32] Geoff: It better not be like David Hasselhoff or some. He's American though, isn't he?
[0:50:38] Eric: Don't you think?
[0:50:38] Geoff: Yeah, but who was big in Germany. Yeah. You know, and then you're going to find out, oh, he's all technically he was born in Dusseldorf, but he moved to America when he was one day old.
[0:50:45] Eric: That's what I was saying earlier with you too. Yeah.
[0:50:48] Geoff: And I was like, is Hasselhoff more popular than Osborne? No, probably not. No, and it would have been earlier. It would have been later than 83. It's just, I'm just trying to think along those lines, you know? 83, 83, 83. It really was very Michael Jackson-y back then. Yeah. Stevie Wonder was still big. Tina Turner was big. Madonna was getting big.
[0:51:14] Eric: What about Billy Idol? Is he just straight up British? Or is he like a different flavor? Billy Idol? Yeah. Do you think he did like around that? I like that. I think he's just straight British. Is he? Do you think he's like 70s though?
[0:51:28] Geoff: No. Well, Generation X was, but his solo career I think would have been the 80s. I don't know. The Go-Go's, the Bangles, Bananarama, Debbie Gibson, AHA.
[0:51:47] Gavin: Was it Bananarama just two women? Bananarama was three women and they were Australian.
[0:51:53] Eric: I'm throwing out bans because it's- What about Sting?
[0:51:57] Gavin: Interesting.
[0:51:58] Unidentified: Sting's European? Yeah, I think so. I don't know. Is he British? He's definitely from the UK. But what part of the UK? I don't think it matters in this.
[0:52:16] Eric: What about Rod Stewart? Yeah, he's English. He also would have been earlier than 81. That's true. That's true. I was thinking of a blonde singer, guys.
[0:52:30] Andrew: I don't think you guys are going to get this. Wow. But we know it. Yeah, you 100%. You all know it.
[0:52:37] Geoff: We need- It's got to be somebody big. You don't put anybody in this system, right? You have to find them already here. Yeah, this is like a top 1,000 or something. So they've got to be there. Yeah. So it's somebody who's- I mean, they're more popular than Ozzy Osbourne, for Christ's sake. We should be able to figure it out.
[0:52:57] Gavin: I feel thick as shit every time I play this.
[0:53:02] Eric: It's tough. What about like- What about- I know he's from like Minneapolis, but like Prince. Do we think we can put that or do you think he's going to put- You think that's pop? I'm trying to narrow down- What would Prince be other than- Pop? Yeah, I don't know.
[0:53:19] Geoff: Like Soul, maybe, or something?
[0:53:21] Eric: I guess, and I don't know, man. Did Queen start out as like one guy, but it's actually now it's like four guys? You know what I mean? Oh, I don't know. Well, Freddie, that's just straight up British again, though. Yeah. And we're sure it's none of the Beatles. None of the Beatles are magically from somewhere else. Things looking pretty good for Jarzan. Goddammit, Jarzan.
[0:53:47] Andrew: Okay.
[0:53:49] Geoff: I feel like it's gotta be something that we have mentioned or referenced at some point in the history of our podcasts.
[0:53:58] Unidentified: Hmm.
[0:54:00] Eric: Do you want to put David Bowie and just see, or do you think that's- Nah, it's gonna be early. That's not gonna be it. That's not- That's gonna be- That's way too early.
[0:54:05] Gavin: That's way too early. I think we should- Way too fling out a genre.
[0:54:08] Eric: But what? We just put-
[0:54:10] Geoff: We put Nirvana and it's rock. Rock, pop, and metal. Yeah, that's the thing. It's like- Eliminating genres doesn't really mean anything because their idea of a genre is pretty skewed.
[0:54:23] Unidentified: Boy George. Ooh, put it. Ooh. Okay. Gavin's against it. Ooh, no boy George. So- Oh, that's weird. What genre is Moby? Electronic, I guess.
[0:54:43] Geoff: Ooh. No, it's not Daft Punk because it's solo. Also, 1982. That's a good point.
[0:54:53] Gavin: I was just happy to think of someone French. Yeah.
[0:54:56] Andrew: You could knock out the region, potentially. Yeah.
[0:55:03] Unidentified: Dude, we're trying. I don't, like, I don't know what other- It's somebody we know. Yeah. And it's a dude.
[0:55:13] Geoff: And he's not British, but he's British adjacent. But I don't trust that that doesn't mean Australia. Yeah, right.
[0:55:23] Unidentified: Well, Andrew said region. Uh-huh. I don't know.
[0:55:32] Geoff: Yeah. I've learned not to trust what anybody says when it comes to this game.
[0:55:39] Unidentified: It's all a trick.
[0:55:44] Andrew: So, see, I'm sure- Yeah. And I guess it doesn't- Close. Close. Close. Attributes, maybe. Here we go.
[0:55:52] Eric: Nationality.
[0:55:53] Andrew: Same continent is what this means. So, all of Europe.
[0:55:57] Geoff: Well, that narrows it down. Narrows it down to- Who was popular in Europe in 1982?
[0:56:05] Unidentified: ABBA.
[0:56:07] Andrew: Michael Jackson. I think the question is, who is popular in 1982 now? Like, who started in 82 that is still popular?
[0:56:18] Geoff: Oh. Kate Bush.
[0:56:20] Andrew: The popularity doesn't reflect the year in which the album occurred. I think it's current popularity.
[0:56:27] Gavin: So, they could have been dog shit for decades.
[0:56:29] Unidentified: Yeah. Could have been.
[0:56:30] Gavin: Who was dog shit for decades?
[0:56:38] Unidentified: Dude, I- Dude, I'm- European is, like, such a tough one. What the fuck?
[0:56:47] Geoff: I just keep thinking of shit like Spando Ballet. I just keep thinking of bands.
[0:56:50] Eric: Yeah, me too. I'm- I'm really- I'm having a hard time. That's England, though, isn't it? It's gonna be a band- Oh, it's gonna suck. And we're sure it's not one of the Beatles.
[0:57:03] Unidentified: What the fuck is the genre? Could it be like- Like, Bob Marley? Put it. I don't care. Put it. Not they're gonna be the same continent. Yeah, who cares? Bob Marley and the Wailers? Go for it. It ain't reggae. It ain't reggae. Okay. What?
[0:57:25] Eric: And not Jamaica. Also, Bob Marley, 164. Mm-hmm.
[0:57:30] Unidentified: Wow.
[0:57:31] Andrew: Wow. Good for him. Gonna take another genre guess, maybe? No, it's not pop. It's not rock. It's not metal. It's not reggae.
[0:57:42] Unidentified: Could be rap. In 1982 in England?
[0:57:50] Eric: In 1982 in England? In 1982 in England?
[0:57:58] Geoff: 1982 in England. Oh, God.
[0:58:03] Eric: Is Lionel Richie from somewhere over there?
[0:58:15] Gavin: Eric, you want to guess Lionel Richie?
[0:58:17] Eric: I don't want to guess anything. I hate this one.
[0:58:23] Geoff: Could it be Morrissey? He would still be in the Smiths in 82 or 83, though, I think. Yeah. And he's British. He's very British.
[0:58:34] Eric: How do we quit? We just have to get through, like, the rest of these guesses.
[0:58:39] Andrew: You can just shoot through guesses.
[0:58:40] Eric: Yeah, we just have to shoot through guesses. I'm going to be so mad with whatever it's going to be. It's going to suck. And just know that when you wear this badge, you wear it pathetically. I see it. I know it's not. I see it. Ooh, ooh, I put in a tricky band. Ooh, I put a tricky band. It's recording's over an hour long.
[0:59:06] Geoff: We were going to record, like, four pieces of supplemental today. We ended up recording one because of this one user.
[0:59:11] Eric: That's so stupid. Uh, dude, I don't, I don't know. I don't know. Um, put, put Lionel Richie. Just put it because it's solo and I want to get, uh, I want to get closer to a genre.
[0:59:25] Geoff: I feel like he'd be.
[0:59:26] Unidentified: I don't. 82 male solo, not R&B. What, what other genre is there? Metal, reggae, rock, pop. R&B. European. Is there any European country?
[0:59:44] Geoff: What the fuck? Jazz. Uh, 1982 specifically. Solo. I bought Quiet Riot Metal Health that year, I think. The first album I ever bought.
[1:00:05] Unidentified: What the fuck? Huh. I, the genre has me so fucking stumped.
[1:00:15] Andrew: I think you guys could get genre and country and still not get it. Wow. Oh, God.
[1:00:23] Gavin: How old's Ricky Martin?
[1:00:24] Unidentified: Not that old.
[1:00:30] Geoff: New edition, that'd be best.
[1:00:33] Unidentified: What the fuck? What? I don't know what other genre to go with.
[1:00:40] Geoff: From 1982. Sounds like it wouldn't matter if we knew it.
[1:00:46] Gavin: How was Enrique Inglasius?
[1:00:49] Eric: Not quite.
[1:00:50] Unidentified: Oh.
[1:00:52] Eric: I can't think of any foreign singers.
[1:00:57] Unidentified: I'm pretty stumped. Is Adam Ant one guy or that's a band, right? I thought it was one dude. Do you want to throw in the towel? No.
[1:01:16] Eric: Um. Dude, I. You try.
[1:01:22] Unidentified: I know.
[1:01:23] Eric: Dexy Midnight Runner is like a band.
[1:01:26] Unidentified: And they're also not going to be on this fucking list. Um. Jeff, I got nothing, dude. Yeah.
[1:01:35] Geoff: I'm right there with you, man. I. We tried. We tried Boy George. It wasn't him.
[1:01:45] Eric: I think we might just have to throw in the towel. I don't know. I don't know where else to go with this.
[1:01:50] Gavin: Just don't like the idea of that.
[1:01:51] Eric: No, I don't. I don't like the idea of it either.
[1:01:55] Unidentified: Who's big in Greece? Mama Mia. Who could this be?
[1:02:07] Eric: And we know who they are. Yeah, Andrew? Like, that is like. 100%. Wow.
[1:02:13] Unidentified: It's going to be a tricksy one.
[1:02:16] Geoff: This game is a real day ruiner. Absolutely. I just remembered that from last time. Yep. Yeah, it just puts you in a bad mood for the rest of the day. God damn it.
[1:02:26] Andrew: You felt really good after George Michael. That was crazy. It can swing both ways.
[1:02:31] Geoff: George Michael was a fuck. It might as well have been a lifetime ago at this point. Is it going to be something like. I said Boy George, but it's Culture Club. I know that's not the case.
[1:02:45] Eric: No, it's going to be. It's going to be something like that. It's going to be someone that we think is American. And it's like, oh, it actually turns out that they were born in that. That's what it's going to be like. That's it sucks, but that's what it's going to be. We're going to be like, oh, yeah, they're they're actually from Spain. It's going to be something like that. It's going to be really frustrating. It's going to really suck.
[1:03:07] Geoff: It's going to be the thing where the game is is pedantic. And we're arguing against like something that is so lamely, technically correct, but not culturally correct in any way. Yes. So that we were set up from failure from the start. So there's no way we were ever going to be able to get this wrong. And it was designed to fail.
[1:03:23] Eric: That's why that's why I said, if you are the one who picked this one, you wear that badge. Just know there's shame. There's shame on that badge.
[1:03:32] Geoff: Like giving somebody a puzzle without five pieces or the picture. Yeah. I'm going to get as far as you can.
[1:03:41] Eric: Dude, I'm I'm so stumped on this. I don't know. I don't know. You guys want to throw out a couple of guesses and see what we can come up with and tap out because I just got nothing here.
[1:03:51] Geoff: I mean, I just can't think of anybody. Any every every person that come everything that comes to mind is a band of some kind. Yeah, me too. Especially thousands of bands, but solo artists that are not American or British. It's nobody's coming to mind. Yeah. And I have a feeling that when we hear it, we're going to go, oh, they're American.
[1:04:14] Unidentified: Yeah.
[1:04:16] Gavin: So what? Is that like a list of people who everyone thinks is American?
[1:04:24] Eric: A list of people who everyone thinks is American.
[1:04:32] Andrew: My favorite wiki page.
[1:04:34] Gavin: Be a useful page right now.
[1:04:36] Eric: Yeah. Just, I don't know. Type in Brian Eno. Who cares? Brian? He's not going to be on here.
[1:04:46] Unidentified: Yeah. Nope. He's not on here. Don't try BB? No, don't try BB.
[1:04:51] Geoff: Yeah, I really don't know. I mean, just. Is Roxy Music a guy?
[1:04:54] Eric: Andrew doesn't know if we know Roxy Music. Dude, I don't even know what to guess.
[1:05:00] Geoff: Yeah, just type the letter A and then pick the first thing that responds five times so we can get out of this.
[1:05:06] Eric: Are you on a grande? I don't care. Keep going.
[1:05:12] Geoff: But try your on a grande again.
[1:05:13] Eric: Yeah, keep going. Uh-huh. One more. You're almost there.
[1:05:17] Gavin: Andrew, if it's on this list, can you pick it?
[1:05:21] Unidentified: It's not on this list. Let's do a boogie with the hoodie. Oh, my God. That sucks. Oh, that's a bad. It's a bad pick.
[1:05:38] Geoff: Yeah, that's a bad pick. That's a bad pick.
[1:05:40] Andrew: I thought Jeff was maybe going to get there when you started talking about TV show themes. And I was like, oh, that is maybe the only way.
[1:05:49] Geoff: You could have put a gun to my head and said, if you get a billion dollars in a suitcase next to me and said, you can have that billion dollars if you answer this correctly. Otherwise, I'm going to put a bullet through your brain. And I wouldn't have gotten there.
[1:06:05] Andrew: Bad.
[1:06:05] Geoff: That's actually a great stuff. That's terrible.
[1:06:08] Andrew: It's a. Yeah, that's why I said it's diabolical. It was a shame because, you know, everyone knows Hans Zimmer here, like 100 percent. I mean, but you picked it. Never. Yeah. Well, I went. Somebody submitted it. So I need to go credit.
[1:06:19] Gavin: You thought we'll go ahead with that one.
[1:06:21] Andrew: Well, because I didn't think you guys would spend 50 minutes on the gorillas. I thought Hans Zimmer would be the one that stumps you for a bit. And then you'd get back to some easier ones. We typically do four or five. We're going to end it here because of how long gorillas and Hans Zimmer was. I don't understand. The video is only 18 minutes long. What are you talking about? Thank you so much for making the submissions. Make sure to check the Patreon. Patreon.com slash the regulation pod. Guys, great, great episode. I know this is incredibly frustrating, but next time you'll get a next time. George Michael was incredible. That was such a good moment.
[1:06:59] Geoff: Hans Zimmer, get real. How many Hans Zimmer songs do you have in your Spotify playlist right now?
[1:07:04] Eric: Hey, Andrew, off the rip, what's your favorite Hans Zimmer song? The one that goes, That one's real good.
[1:07:13] Geoff: Technically, that's mine too. All right. Bye.
[1:07:17] Gavin: Bye. Wow, Bruce Willis was born in Germany.
[1:07:21] Unidentified: Before you knew what a stock was, you traded snacks, cards, turns. That instinct to trade didn't disappear. It just grew up. With no minimums, no monthly fees, and 100 free trades, TD Easy Trade taps into that instinct. Because you are made to trade. And TD Easy Trade is made to help. All right. That's right.
