Anyway D. D.J. It's the D.J. It's that bitch a clock. Yeah, it's thick dirty. I've been through a lot, but I'm still flirty. Is everybody back up in a minute,

tell me how you're healing? It's the Dicek DJs. Ah, what's going on, y'all? It's DJMC jiggoo-Jag. And Castizi, what up, Stiz? Because we are the DJs. I like to spin it. Mix it.

Throw it back and dissected. That's right. Back with a new one. Not a new one, but, you know, something of the 2020s. And it's bad bitch o'clock. Bad bitch o'clock. It's Dick 30 by Lizzo. About damn time.

And me and Castle were talking about it. And we were like, you know, it's a jam that you actually, like, I can dance to, I enjoy. And you wouldn't think we should. Why? I don't know. Because we're men. people, I don't know, fucking not. But I was like, about damn time.

My Castle was like, absolutely. Yeah, it was actually stoked that you called this one out because, I'd be honest, Lizzie makes jams. There was about a three to four year period there where at least one time a year, she came out with at least one song that I was just like, that song moves me. It moves me naturally and I like it. I don't even think of it as like, oh, it's surprising that actually makes me move. I was just like, I knew right away as soon as I heard this.

Juice. What was that? 2019. Do you know why I know this? Because I've used her songs as the intro to my year and review music video mix twice. One being in 2019 with juice and the other being last year in 2022 with this about damn time. That's exactly how I started my video. Anyway, and I had my 2022 graphic come through It was an epic beginning As always You always do a great job This video isn't it?

Lizza does a great job She helps me out with that These are the kind of things I look for When I make my year in review mix And the awesome jam And the beat is epic It has that funky beat to it You hear the bass behind

You know It just gets you going It's a solid BPM of 109 Just Perfect beat to dance too But not get too crazy I love it I love it.

Is it 113? Somewhere around there. It's around there. But let's talk about it. It's a bad bitch of clock. Yeah, it's thick 30. A great first line of a song. It just...

How many girls you think got up on some pregame by calling out it's bad bitch o'clock? I never even heard of the bad bitch o'clock, but it sounds like something like a party. It's a thing. It sounds like something you like, you want to be at. It's a thing. Yeah. So it was thick 30. Thick 30 minutes later.

Sounds interesting. I'll tell you that. That's a good hour. She's been through a lot, but she's still flirty. That's kind of going back to our last episode. Actually, it goes to Tina, yeah, episode 101. Where Tina was like, you know, so she sounds like she's gotten hurt, but this one's pushing through, so she's, she understands what love's got to do with it.

Yes, exactly. And because of it, she's still flirty. She's like, you know what? That was a rough time. I've been through a lot. I'm still flirty. I need a hard. just because it could get broken.

So we're good enough reason. I get it. Feel something. Is everybody back up in the building? It's been a minute. You know what? It's been a minute. Tell me how you feeling.

Oh, man. See, is everybody back in the building? It's been a minute. Tell me how you feeling. Because I'm about to get into my feelings. How you feeling? How you feel it right now? This song was dope.

I don't know what it is at this song. It makes me feel good. It's weird. I feel like I shouldn't like it. I don't know what you. Like my gangster side, like my hood's like, you're eight. Let it go. Like the guys in my, my neighborhood would be like,

do you fucking like Lizzo, bro? What's wrong with you homes? Like, I'd be like, yeah, man, I like it. Are you talking about the homies around your hood that you haven't seen 13 years? 30 years. It was more like 30 years. You're still worried about what they think. I'm talking about, yeah, maybe 25 years ago.

Yeah, those guys. And I was still like, yeah, I like it. I don't know. And it'd be like, you're stupid. Like, because I grew up, you know. Was this also when you were like 13? Yeah. Okay, so you're dealing with the thoughts of 13-year-olds in your head,

still determining what songs you should or shouldn't like based on what the homies are on the way say. Yeah, but they would dig into you, man. Like, you couldn't like Lizzo. You couldn't like Lizzo on that name, but it needed to be Dr. Dre and Snoop and Corrupt and Bone Thugs. Yeah. It had to be those.

You're calling the ones that I grew up on, and here's the thing. I also Would have fucked with Lidlitt back then Yeah, I couldn't I would have gotten trouble You know what I? Because I jammed music that makes me move All right

Always have Always, yeah I mean the thing with me is I don't I've never really been one to like flaunt music that I want to listen to In anybody's face I kind of like just listen to it on my time Because I spent a lot of time by myself

Skating around the beach Driving around Chilling at home Working from here everything. I like to actually enjoy my time to myself and one of the things I like to do, running a beach, going to the gym. And I like to play jams that make me enjoy life. And the fact is, like, nobody even needs to fucking know what the hell I'm listening to. Just know it's jams, okay, sir? It's jams. Do you wonder why I'm grooving on the skateboard? Do you wonder why

I'm getting off the leg press and I'm immediately shimming my way to the bench press? Just getting those are two actual instruments I never use of the gym. The guy with a leg press, the guy with a leg press, it does like seven fucking 45s on each side. Yeah, I don't mean, I do, I do so much stuff on my feet.

Like, I don't need to do that. My legs are fine. The skateboard does the fucking leg workout from. When I hit the gym, I'm really just looking at the mirror, like, looking at myself as I do each and every curl,

you know? You're checking your form? That's who I am. No, I just feel like I look good. Like, I look fantastic. You know? You know how you look at the gym. Like,

Something about those mirrors just make your arms look way bigger. You're like, look at me. I knew I had that. Look at it. I didn't have to work out. I've done five fucking curls right now. My arms look fantastic. I'm done. And I quit.

Ten minutes later. So what song are we talking about again? Oh, yeah, yeah. It's bad bitchy clown. I've been so down and under pressure. I'm way too fine to be distressed, yeah. I'm not the girl I was or used to. be

bitch I might be better bitch I might be better I wonder what she's under pressure about I wonder what she's... I actually think this we should have done We should have done this episode after what's love got to do with it

because I actually think that she has 30 years later kind of answered the question she's hitting the right side of what Tina was bringing to the table so she's going the positive route that you're supposed to go

The point is I think that after going through that song I'm looking at these lyrics and like Lizzo's taking the positive approach. Gotcha. And she's all about building herself up and like, yeah, shit, I've been so down and under pressure. But I'm way too fun to be the stress. I'm not that girl I was or used to be, which, you know, maybe is the phase that Tina was going through right there. And like I said, did I not say this in that episode? That is a kind of a small window of feeling that I think we're getting out of Tina.

I think that was something that she was experiencing For a small frame of time But the emotions that she was feeling at that point Created a jam that we play for ages And that's what I appreciate about it But what is Lizzo saying That's the girl she used to be But now

Bitch I might be better Bitch I might be walking in my obelicious He's trying to bring out the fabulous Because I give a bump Way too much I'm a need like two shots in my cup I almost don't want to stop this song because it's that fucking good. This is, go ahead.

Ask me how many snaps and snaps I'm getting. Because you know why? That verse never gets it, doesn't it? I don't know what she's saying, but I'm already dancing like, I don't know what this song does. I don't know why it's so good. You know what? It mixes like new music with like 90s music with 70s music with 70s music.

It just mixes all air It's amazing funk with It's 80s I can hear like every single Jondra music Somehow mixed together Flawlessly This song is just so good

This song is so good This is where she gets you This is where she gets you Get me Because I give a fuck Way too much I'm gonna need two shots in my cup What does she say with the

In a minute In a minute In a minute I'm gonna need a sentimental men or woman to pump me up. See, it sounds like it's way harder. But the way she said, in the minute, I'm gonna need a sentimental man, I'm able to pump it.

I'm just like, I don't know what you're saying, but I like it. I like it. Dude, she actually said a sentence that it's very, like, pronounced and poignant. In a minute, I'm gonna need a sentimental man or woman to pump me up. She's down.

Yeah. I actually understand exactly what that means, but she was able to say it. To make it almost sound like she was scatting. Like she was just creating words at her mouth. Good. Yeah. Feeling fussy walking in my Balenciussies.

Trying to bring out the fabulous because I give a fuck. Way too much. I'm going to need like to. Want to get up. Want to get down. That's how I feel right now. Want to get up and what to get down.

I know. Get both, Liz. And then where's she going after that? I got to get back to it. It's about damn time that they came out, that somebody came out with a new dance song that I could play for the next 10 years, man. Ah, this is such a good song. We don't have enough good dance jams these days. They don't, man.

Every once in a while I want to come out. Like, Uptown Funk was a good one. It's a little played out now, but at first it was like, Outtaught down down. Uptown Funk is what you went back to? I'm just saying, that was a good one. I was like, I was a good one. Oh, you've had more dance jams.

Like what? Like what? We get, at least. least like what to two a year I want you to name one that's equal to uptown fuck that it had hits high to and what this one is give me another one in the last 10 years

go I know you have a bunch of like cool ones that are underground but I'm talking about a mainstream I was actually going to follow you up with your Bruno Mars called Bruno Mars has made several actually to be honest about skating all those and they weren't as good at Uptown Don't even try to trash skate to me bro I'm not even talking about Silicon though

I was going over the last 10 years though. Well, Treasure was a song that moved me, but that was actually a little bit before Uptown Funk. But I'm just saying Put your fucking beat to the What song is that? 24K was good. 24K. That was good. We haven't got out of that one. That's a good one too.

Because that has that cute. Anyway, good one. Here's my favorite. I get you. They come out rare. Okay, very rarely. There's a song that gets you going, that jams that'll cross all ages. Like this will hit 70-year-olds, this will hit 20-year-olds and everybody's down. Even

with her saying, bitch, I might be better. Somehow she was able to sneak in damn in the song consistently and bitch, and I guarantee grandma's gonna like this song. Most grandmas. Depends on the grandma. Put this in your wedding vernacular right there. Put it in the repertoire.

I do. I'm sorry, it's been in. Oh, it's been in? The guy to do the clean version, but yeah. What point of the night do you bring it out? On dance for, right? Yeah, so this one... Is it a dance for starter or nah, probably not.

At this point, yeah, it can be in the middle of a dance set, possibly but I like to do it I like to get the second half of dinner going like people in their seats kind of like dancing but not necessarily once we're like part dance we're part like kind of people are moving a little bit yeah this so a few people have already

like kind of grace the dance for a little bit like you're there maybe but it hasn't been established but it's like the vibe is out there a little bit yeah okay I'm with you but I from my this might be the song this might be the song that actually gets people initiate the actual dance floor. At this point, yeah.

And then this would be a hitter in my way. Without you having to do. This is middle of the dance set. This is coming in. Without you having to do the whole like. Okay, everybody, the dance floor is open. You know what song's coming in after this? Wait, you're not letting me do the impression.

I know, but I want you to guess what the next song's coming out. After it is? Yeah. Give me a year. It sounds like you already has a song. 985. Six. Prince.

A song we were supposed to do, but we haven't done yet. Oh, man. You know what I? I thought about it. The one that was supposed to be episode 100? Yes, I know what it is. Yeah. That would come around. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, right. That would absolutely work.

So I thought about it. Because we teased that in episode 100. By the way, we didn't say what episode it was right now. Nobody knows what we were talking about. No, no, no, no. Listen to episode 100 for the follow-up on this. But, like, I was thinking after we did that, I was like, it was supposed to be episode 100, but I should have made a point to win it. it's going to be and I decided that'll be

110. That'll be our song episode 110. Yeah. I think we do it next since we're talking about it now. No? We can just do right now after the song. That's why I leave. All right. Fuck it. Fuck it. 104. It's so less sexy than 110.

It's all right. It's coming in after this song because this is a song I would play and then that song after it's an epic song. We need to just do it now. Yeah. Okay. First we need to finish up this song. Do we do we give all the lyrics a proper cadence? It's not done. We're on the last round of the songs.

Good, play it out because this song fires. How many snaps and snaps are you giving it, man? I just want to give props to the fact that she had an opportunity to get out on, it's about damn time, about 32 counts earlier. And instead she gave the opportunity for the intro to go out with that little. And. say the word bitch out of nowhere. And say bitch.

For no reason. But like that's... On the clean version, by the way. This is my clean version down to my Spotify. I wasn't supposed to say that. She's still snuck it in at the backside. Yeah, yeah. Just the right amount of two on that one, too.

Oh, dude. What a good song. If you don't like this song, like, let me tell you some. There's no time that I've ever had this song just playing my ears all the way through where I didn't feel a little bit more joyous about myself, my surroundings and my every being. Something about that song.

It's well produced. It makes you happy. It does. Well produced. What do you give it? Snaps and slaps. Four. All right.

Yeah, I don't know. I'm trying to give it like just everything right up against the rim of a five. Are you giving it under five? Just under five. Yeah, I mean, you counted along with me. You heard the four slaps. I heard four snaps and an almost and an almost. I was on the first.

verge. This is an on the verge of a five. What's keeping it from five? I don't know. I have high standards. I don't know. I've heard some of your fives. I mean, I'm sure if you looked back at some of the fives I've given over the first

102 episodes. Oh, I mean, don't come at me. Don't come at me with sole decision. This is an equal. Soul decision is my crew. Listen to soul decision week if you want to know what that's all about. And listen to this song and they're fucking damn near exact beat, exact feel exactly thing.

I'm sorry, man. This is, you're, you're, uh, you're being a bit, um, yeah! Very rarely will talk or try to change the mind or try to it's valued, though, but. It's valued. Come on, man.

I value you're talking. She killed this song. I think, honestly, part of me gave it just under five slabs because I wanted to be talked into it. Same way that you were telling me that like, oh, dude, I couldn't listen to Lizzo if I was like back in the day on the school year. I was just like,

I need to be just like my arm pulled just a little bit. You twist it around, just not like a half Nelson, but like just like a little bit of like an arm bar. I don't even know who Nelson is, but... He's the guy that created the half Nelson. My favorite pin move in high school, as a matter of fact. You would have fucked me up in high school. Fuck you up right now.

Sure. But I got a feeling. I will bite the fuck at you, though. Don't act like he won't get bloody out of it. I think I never have a bit before. I'll bite the fuck I'll fucking bite anyways so bro I used to have a pet cobra shit is nothing to me

oh people talk he said taunted just for sport there's no rules to fighting dude I will like yeah I will hit your kneecap don't let me utilize those no rules then gets weird fast

alright it's a great song this is an epic song Liz's a great job on that one do you think it's your favorite Lizzo song yeah yeah for sure I think it is too actually For sure

Be honest What's your favorite part Let's just go over that We never say that We never do that in a song It does no need it on that one That one is There's different parts throughout

It's about damn time I like the last part Which says We're going Now tonight We're going Like even that has a Okay

It comes in It comes in hot Her first words Are it's bad bitch clock Just I mean How would nobody used its bad bitch of clock as the opener

of the song yet. Yeah. They were waiting for Lizzo. That's the answer. It's crazy. This is great. And that entire rap, she, like, talk about, like, a non-wrapper, like, making, like, a rap happen in the middle and absolutely, like, slay. Slate it. I'll give a fuck.

I ain't too much. I'm going to need... Two shots of my cup. One to get... One to get down. That's how I feel right now. I'll be honest. That part right there is not as cool as last, it's always a little bit of a drop-off in the song, which you gets to that part right there.

But then it picks right back up when, yeah, it's about damn time. That's so, like, you kind of almost got to make for, make it through the pre-course. No. That's my shit. That's the one part there. That's the part. I'm like, I can see you being most performative when you're doing karaoke in this, which, by the way, is that happening?

I never, I won't try this song. That's a little bit. I can't let people know. I do this. I don't think I can do it. The homies from back in the day might show up. Even one of them. They'll be like, oh, dude.

Ruben will come, dude. Rubin. I knew it. Rubin and Omar. Dude, it's over. It's over with, dude. And Alfonso, dude, it's over. Rubin Omar Alfonso.

I'm in trouble, dude. Johnny? Still fighting. Michael? Did I say it all the days? I knew there was a Michael. Come. I'm saying all the days from my neighbor.

I'm like, oh, my good. Yeah. All right. You can never do Lizzo in public. Can't do it. But you. but you give them five slivers on the dash of the DJs. Man, it's about damn time.

It's about damn time. Next!
