Starting point is 00:00:00 Who are these podcasts? W-A-T-P! Hello back slappers, Kuzza Rooz and Rubber Dix. For the first time ever, we're putting out a show that isn't W-A-T-P on our feed. And that's because Brandon from Shitty Song of the Week was able to get Patrick Michael to guest on his show and he wanted us to put it out. By the way, if you like what Brandon is doing here, consider donating one dollar a month at patreon.com slash ssotw. If you're a fan of Patrick Michael, this is worth a listen. It starts with Patrick proving he's done zero research on Brandon's
Starting point is 00:00:36 show and couldn't even be bothered to listen to the song that he brought as his shitty song of the week. Seriously, Shamist didn't listen to a 4-minute song to it, we see if it sucks and maybe even jot down some notes about what sucks about it. Zero effort, which is why he is the goat, sorry Andy. If you can get through the first half, that's where the fun begins. Brandon brings a song from Kevin, which is the band that Patrick Michael played drums in while his buddy Luke held down random frets on a guitar. Give this a listen because Patrick Michael responded to this in a Patreon only episode that you can get on patreon.com slash pod culture.
Starting point is 00:01:16 We're going to have Brandon on WATP this weekend to talk about his experience recording Patrick Michael and to analyze this response episode. We have it. And now, without further ado, Shitty Song of the Week featuring Brandon and Patrick Michael. What the fuck is this? Fucking thing sucks. Why?
Starting point is 00:01:43 Why? It's a point! Hello and welcome to another episode of Shitty Song of the Week, the show where I am a host Brandon and joining me this week week host of Do You Party and the briefcase we got patty broken school patty Welcome to the show.

Starting point is 00:02:39 single month. I'm excited about this one. We're gonna try something a little different tonight because what we like to do is I like to pick a category of music usually a genre and whatnot and we'll tear through two songs each week You guys know the drill and you know We usually go with a lot of bigger band names and songs that people most certainly heard of and I wanted to mix things up So when I when I asked you to come on the show and you agreed I thought it'd be fun if we dove deep and discovered the shittiest songs that we could possibly find on the internet. Hell yeah man
Starting point is 00:03:10 I mean the you could imagine that it's endless I mean everybody feels like they're a creator today everyone feels like they have some art inside of them and it's just a matter of time before they decide that they they're good enough to put it out there some people don't wait they just put it out there early and hey judge it if you will. Oh yeah, absolutely. I'm excited about this. I haven't listened to what you sent me. So I don't know what's going on here.
Starting point is 00:03:33 This is just for shits and gigs. We'll see what comes of it. But why don't you tell me a little bit about the song that you brought for us tonight? Okay, well first and foremost, you know, I'm looking for you inviting me on the show a while ago. It took a little while to get this in place and going and what have you. But in that time, I was thinking, I'm like, what do I want to do?
Starting point is 00:03:50 And something really clicked early and I was like, maybe that's an option. But then when I looked to send you the link, I'm realizing, oh, they have 65 million views on that video. I'm not interested. The band doesn't exist anymore, but the band that I sent you has the same singer as that band. Okay. So essentially, I'm in the same boat as you where it's like, I don't know what to expect. I have an idea, but I haven't listened to the song myself.
Starting point is 00:04:14 I just know that it's a big time song. This guy's been in a lot of bands that I hate, and here we are. So you haven't even heard the song that you brought. You're just going off of it based off of knowing who the frontman is. Yes. I wanted to do something that was more current. Like you said, something that it's like a year old, I believe. Okay. Which is kind of for the audience at least. They'll be like, okay, I know the song. We're going to, I guess I'm going to hear for the first time, but I do have an opinion on the singer as it is. So at least we have that.
Starting point is 00:04:43 All right. So is there anything you want to tell me about the vocalist before we dive into this? Okay. I don't know. Let's see. Where did I want to start? It was really what came for me to dislike him was his popularity during my time finding this type of music. Okay. Heavy your music stuff that's along these lines. And you see this guy, you look at the guy, just purely on image alone.
Starting point is 00:05:08 And again, this is just judging a book by the cover, but you look at the image alone and you think, okay, this is gonna be some heavy music. This is gonna be entertaining, they're gonna throw down. And then you listen to it, you're like, oh no. I think it might be a woman. I don't know what's happening here. The guy has tattoos from, you tattoos from his toes to his eyebrows.
Starting point is 00:05:27 And you're like, this guy, I don't know, dude. I'd rather listen to the, I don't know. I have a lot of opinions already and I don't want to shit on him before we hear the music. Cause who knows, I might become a fan. Okay, well, wouldn't that be some shit, right? Yeah, I doubt it.
Starting point is 00:05:41 But hey, you never know. My whole thing is, if you picture Miley Cyrus' brother, you remember he was in that band, Metro, something, Metro Station? Okay, now the guy has tatted up from head to toe, but he sings like a dixty chick. Okay, so that's kind of what we're expecting here. I guess it's because I come from an older school
Starting point is 00:06:00 of musician and artist, where it's like, if you look like that dude, I better be able to ask you to play some music and it's you're gonna throw down but so often everybody's so available to be able to get tattooed from head to toe that they can still go and be like oh yeah I'm just a country artist wait what happened you look like you're fresh out of prison and you're playing an acoustic I don't know you'll see man yeah let's dive into this. This is the name of the band is falling in reverse and The song is called popular monster. So here we go and if you at any point in the song You want me to stop it so we can just sit on whatever just let me know and I'll pause it. Okay
Starting point is 00:06:44 Yeah I Yeah, all right, pause it. Okay. All right, dude, is he about to fucking spit bars? Because now I'm on way out. I'm way out now. Yeah, he came in with the, yeah, what is Drake on the song? What's going on? Oh, yeah, all right, continue whatever oh my god all right let's see what happens he might be he might bring some fire I don't need another fucking heavy metal or hard rock song about mental health. It's fucking retarded
Starting point is 00:07:43 100% I was thinking the fucking same thing. I'm like, isn't this guy like a grown-up? He was already in a band where he was singing about this. Doesn't he have new lyrics yet? Has nothing changed now that he's made a bunch of money? All right. You know, what the hell, dude? The flow that he has isn't bad.
Starting point is 00:07:58 It works with the beat that's going on. You know, I can get into that. When you listen to the lyrics that he's saying, it's fucking stupid But the tone in his voice right now is so monotone. It's really hard to actually get into what he's the message He doesn't he's not even excited about it. Well, no, why would he be talking about mental health and shit? Yeah, he's a One man. It's just like all right. All right, man
Starting point is 00:08:21 Because he has he probably only has two lanes he can go so he's, I'll just talk in the beginning of this song instead and make it fancy. Alright, well let's continue on here. It's less than a minute so far. Okay, yeah, I squawk a wittest bullshit every day. And it's probably because my demon's not gonna tame you. You're serrated. It already makes me feel so great. I Okay, so this is my this is my issue. It's like the guy because the song that I was initially going to throw at you Was from a band called Escape the Fate and the song was
Starting point is 00:09:03 Situations, okay, It starts out just as shitty. He doesn't go, yeah, but it just, I don't know, dude, it comes in so panic at the disco, fallout boy type of stuff, but it's like, at least those guys, you know, they're aware of Tuxedo on stage, they're not tatted up head to toe. This guy for sure is, and he's still singing again,
Starting point is 00:09:23 like a Dixie chick. I can't even appreciate the music, again with this type of genre, they're so willing to put in synthesized bullshit instead of finding a guy who can play the instruments. You know what I mean? A lot of digitized stuff right there. And you're taking away the idea of an actual musician. You're playing, you're singing a song with a robot. Where's your, and then you're going to sit here and try and yell at us about mental health. Yeah. And being a better, like how, you're hanging out with robots, man.
Starting point is 00:09:52 It's interesting because I could get behind this music if it was done with, if a different band was performing it, I'd be like, okay, this isn't terrible. You know, the mix is good on this, the production isn't bad. The mixture of heavy metal music and then the whiny, depressing, fucking sad, sack lyrics just doesn't blend well together. I don't really know when this trend sort of really took off and became a thing. I guess maybe when Lincoln Park got really popular, this sort of style really kind of took off, but... Well, even the way that they portrayed the lyrics that they were doing in their songs, you didn't know that it was about mental health until well after, you know, Chester's situation, you know what I'm saying where it's like,
Starting point is 00:10:34 oh, crawling was a different song when you knew that he was fucked up, you know what I mean? Uh, I don't know, dude. I heard that album hybrid theory and in that fucking seventh grade and right away I was like, yeah, this is a suicide note. This guy is gonna die soon All right, I like it. All right, maybe I just I guess I wasn't that deep into the lyricism I mean the literal lyrics are I tried too hard and in the end it doesn't even matter I realized this now back then I was like, oh man. This shit's just heavy, right? Who would have known that Limp Biscuit song No Nookie was about sex I thought he was just you know he was really a cookie monster type of fan I didn't you know I was just a kid
Starting point is 00:11:11 when these things come out you don't look too deep in them you think everybody is just generally happy but then you have stuff like this where it's so uplifting in the music but then the songs the lyrics again like you're saying they're coming through whiny he could say the same shit if it was in a different tone, a different consistency. You see what I'm saying where it's like, he's just going, you know what I'm saying, rather than being like, you can get there still. Yeah, this is a, this is rough already. All right, let's continue on. I Think I'm going nowhere like a rat trapped in a maze every wall that I knock down is just a wall that I'll replace I'm an erase against myself. I'll try to keep a steady pace
Starting point is 00:12:10 How the fuck will I escape if I never close my case? It's like a shitty But whole surfers knock off with the vocals like I'm just thinking of that song with song peppers Mark you got in Sharon Sharon got Sheree Shari, you got Shari, you got Shari, Sharon, Sharon's outlook on the topic of disease. It's so monotone and boring, but at least with the butthole surfers, there's a fucking trippy guitar solo
Starting point is 00:12:33 that went along with it, and you were able to get into that song. Yeah, this is a singular, singular minded track where it's like, you can hear him say these things and some people might relate to what he's saying, but essentially you're like, he's just this is a song just for him. This is almost a song you make to leave on your computer for yourself later. Not for the world.
Starting point is 00:12:53 Yeah, let's continue on. There's another second sooner to a blessing. I won't take my therapist. Tell me that I'm going through a stage. Yeah, it's not a fucking stage. I just want to feel okay. Okay, look at the fuck. Now you got my attention.
Starting point is 00:13:09 I need to change a couple things. Cause something is missing. Okay, well, I got, I got it. Okay, here's what it is. My biggest gripe is it's not bad, but, but there's so many bands that do this exact same thing better. Yeah, I could see that it i mean it's it sounds like uh... god there's so many shitty rap rock bands that are
Starting point is 00:13:32 out there that came out in like the mid to late to two two thousand so it's it's nothing special but the the lyrics it the lyrics themselves are the biggest problem to this because it's so fucking whiny this is what this is what would happen if the biggest problem to this because it's so fucking whiny. This is what would happen if the cure decided to get hardcore and put some distortion on their fucking guitars. Yeah, yeah, I totally agree. I totally agree. Yeah, that's continuing. We've reached about the halfway point here. Every single fucking thing I get closer to the grave I am so fine A fuzzly breath of will again I smile the gorgeous of the blue And I'll raise the heat
Starting point is 00:14:10 To the horizon I am like this To the bottom of the hill To the right Down the tip for away Out I'm the liar of a cheer of a chaffly From the popular
Starting point is 00:14:24 Popular Like the great Down on instinct I'm a liar, I'm a cheer, I'm a chaffer, I'm a popular, popular, my star, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, true, I'm a true, I'm a true, true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, I'm a true, true, I'm a true, a decade and a half. Okay. Yeah, so I do that heavy, scream shit. I won't say that I'm a great singer, but I've been doing that for so long that I've got nothing but compliments on it. So I know I have that skill down and I love that shit. He hit really well, but again, here's the only critique. Much like his regular vocals,
Starting point is 00:15:01 it was whining a shit in a scream. His scream still came across whiny. That's weird. It worked for the Mugric, I guess, and for the song in particular, but then again, the song is called popular monster. That's this guy saying, Hey, everybody knows me, Ronnie Radke. And I'm very popular, but also guess what, guys, I'm sad, sad monster. Okay. You don't know the inner workings of my of my being. But for some reason, stayed, stayed steady, successful. Okay? Like I said, that song, situations by escape the fate, 65 million plays. You're telling me this guy doesn't have money still. And then he goes into another band who is also
Starting point is 00:15:38 very successful right now. Look at the views on this damn thing. The guy's doing well. Okay? But we have to, I mean, really just boils down to my being upset with his name being Ronald. So that's all this is you just got to break over the first name. Yep, that was it. I was like, just be Ronald, dude. Don't try to spice it up. Just be Ronald. All right. I don't care, dude. It really is my old fashioned obsession with music and the way that I thought it was supposed to be portrayed When you're a heavy metal band or you're trying to be heavy, right? And again like that it is just they're in a way sticking with the times
Starting point is 00:16:15 They're like, oh, I got a we got to add these little synth parts. We got to do this little thing here. We got to say these things here to You know stick with our demographic. That's what it's about. It's a cash business. Who knows if these are even his lyrics at this point? Yeah, well, I mean, look, that fucking high note is so pathetic and whiny and just, so this is sad.
Starting point is 00:16:41 It's all fucking sad. If this song doesn't end with him reciting the suicide hotline's phone number I'd be fucking shocked. I you know what I get it I totally would I totally would understand if that happened and I would honestly like you said in a way be it be expecting it Okay Okay. I'm searching for the truth in the lost and lost from the question I ask. Wow, what the fuck is her god? Now! Okay, so if this part of the song was the rest of the song, it wouldn't be bad. But I like the line of where the fuck is your god now. I got into that whole bridge part, it got real heavy, and I was into it.
Starting point is 00:17:44 If you took away all the whiny depressing bullshit that was before it and probably going to be after it, I'd like this. I swear to God, I thought you started playing another song. That was weird as shit. Because again, that is one of the more powerful lines that I've heard multiple times in heavy music. Who's your God now? Where the fuck is your god now? Bow to me, my lord type shit, right? That's a heavy line before a breakdown. Very well. But again, I 100% agree with you, dude. Why wasn't that more a part of the song? I thought we were listening to a pop punk track, you know, with Skrillex on the on the fucking keys. And now we're now we're actually, oh, there's a guitar player.'s the bass player what you know I'm a cheater of a shop belief I'm a popular popular What's the price?
Starting point is 00:18:46 So, I'm running into a love No, we're selling a car I'm a popular popular What's the price? I'm a popular popular What's the price? I'm a popular popular What's the price? I mean, a guitar solo would have been nice or something. Yeah, they just went with like a weird synthesizer thing again, you know, animating the music essentially, taking away the human of music, right? The actual language that we, that many musicians can create with their instruments, right?
Starting point is 00:19:34 By having somebody just digitize a consistent pattern of the sound, you're taking away soul, you know, for music. But let's not get too deep into that. Obviously, this band wasn't looking towards it, right? But I will say again, like you said, there was parts in that song that were totally worth listening to the entirety of it, but there wasn't enough of those good parts to make me feel like, ah, they swayed me. They got a new fan. Yeah, I agree. I mean, there were elements to this song that I could enjoy, but there wasn't enough of it for me to want to go back through and actually dive into the catalog of this band Exactly
Starting point is 00:20:09 Well, that was a shit song Patrick. I will give you that it's it wasn't quite what I was expecting when I thought of Shitty's songs on the internet, but it definitely was a shit song and I appreciate you bringing it to me. Oh, yeah So I mean go ahead ahead. Like if you wanted to find shitty your songs, it would have to go deeper in their catalog. I'm sure that this, like I said, is one of the more popular songs it was just released a year ago. I've seen many people talk about it, but again, didn't know anything about it until now. Right. Well, you know, you and I had different ideas of shitty songs in the internet. And that's cool. I like that. I like it mixing things up a bit.
Starting point is 00:20:46 So you went with a band that, you know, they might not be super well-known, but they got some popularity to them and some notoriety and shit. I found a song, and I found this a while ago. I've been sitting on this baby for a long time. And it's a song from some band that no one's ever heard of. I don't even have the name of them on here
Starting point is 00:21:05 I downloaded this track a good while ago in the beginnings of the show and I was like there's gonna be a way That I'm gonna break this out, you know what I mean? Like there's certain things that you save for for certain moments and this is a perfect episode to do something like this for Now, yeah, yeah So the name of this song is just called Hills. Now Hills is a it's an instrumental song I'm a big fan of instrumental music patty. I play I play acoustic guitar I like doing a lot of finger style stuff and instrumental music some of my biggest influences are instrumental musicians So this song is very short. It's only about a minute and 50 seconds long, which is really all you need for it.
Starting point is 00:21:46 And have there ever been any shows before, Pat? You know, maybe five or six give or take. Never anything like, oh yeah, this is going to be memorable. Right. Okay, so you may or may not have seen this, you know, usually before the band, the band gets up on stage and they're getting ready to start playing and they're doing their little warm up bits and the audience can hear them, you know, the drummers doing a little fill just for fun, the guitarist
Starting point is 00:22:14 is fucking around just, you know, to get a feel for the instrument and get warmed up for the set. Right. That's kind of what I feel like is going on in this track, but at a certain point the drums start going through with an actual, I'm going to say a rhythm, I mean, it's kind of what I feel like is going on in this track, but at a certain point, the drums start going through with an actual, I'm going to say a rhythm. I mean, it's kind of hard to follow along with it. And then the guitarist and the keyboard is show up, and it's just, you know, I'll just like to song speak for itself here.
Starting point is 00:22:38 All right. All right. So here we go. So already we got like this weird creepy sort of, uh, they're trying to create this dark ambient sound space. I totally hear it. I totally hear it. I totally feel it. Oh, is that so? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:23:10 I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I It's taking a long time. It's a good build, it's a heavy build.
Starting point is 00:23:26 It's the strength in the build. Oh, is that so? Yeah, that's what I mean. When you think about how somebody goes into making music, to simply sit behind the instrument and build it as it is there, you don't, there is no message. You're just trying to figure out, hey, what the hell is going on here? Who's doing what?
Starting point is 00:23:44 What's the direction? Who leading you never know all right so it so you agree this totally sounds like no one knew what was going on with this one yeah I know for a fact no one knew I'll do you yeah dude all right let's go on Oh man that guitarist is just fucking up. Here's what I know. I know that the recording is horrendous. And that's probably why the song is just called Hills, but I could probably say that the band is Kevin. That is me on drums, 100%. Yeah, it's my buddy Luke on guitar. I think he's on guitar.
Starting point is 00:24:50 I'm not sure who's playing keyboards at this point because who knows, man, we were just, this is at the very, I would say initiation of any kind of music we were doing together and we were just We would sit smoke a bunch of weed Talk shit about random topics and then hey Let's jam and we would just lose control most of the time we were really fucking out of our minds Especially me when I play drums I would lose Any sense of what was going on and just start smashing everything
Starting point is 00:25:29 But I did my best because I played with so many people along the way who would break their shit. I'm like, dude, that's the worst possible thing. I put my stick through one shitty snare way back when I started on my target drum set. And then this drum set, again, I didn't even have the skills to tune the kit. None of us did. But I was the only one that could keep any kind of rhythm on the kit. So we're like, ah, let's fucking do it, man. We'll just jam Tuesdays with Mary. I don't know, man. This is, it's rough. And I know you're the drummer behind it. So I'm
Starting point is 00:25:56 not, I don't, I don't hold packed punches on this shit, dude. I understand the whole concept of, you know, getting fucked up and jamming with your friends and having some fun, you know what I mean? But have this as an actual, you know, let's go call it a jam session for lack of a better term. And then you put a title behind it and you put it out as a song. It's such a bizarre movement and you want to say it over, keep it a fill with these drums, but these drums are lacking so already.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Like, I feel like how long have you been playing, Pat? I started when I was 18 and I'd only played probably for like a year then and then I didn't play for another like four years. So this was my first time getting back to drumming at all. That's why basically what happened was there was a drum set. There was three guys who could play music a little bit and we were like, Hey, let's see who can keep drums at all on this kit that just happened to be there because in most cases when we first
Starting point is 00:26:53 started playing music, we were playing with the bare minimum. That's how it always nobody had shit. The first thing that was ever used as drums when I first started music was just a snare and it was just some random kid who broke it within a week of playing with us. The confusion is the assumption that it would be a song. I get the the lack of knowledge of wanting to put it out there because I guess everything on the internet has to be gold. I love the idea of the podcast where it's like, oh yeah, it's a shitty song. Of course it is, but also you're assuming that it's a song and again you said yourself it is a jam session and it is to say that it's a song because it has a title is one thing, but again it is listening to the music like you said yourself when it's instrumental and trying
Starting point is 00:27:32 to find out what the hell it's supposed to be. There's something there and a friend of mine had always said, Hey man, you put it out there fucking somebody's going to listen to it. Somebody's going to find something into it. But course, when you don't have any skills in the production of it, you're simply trying to make something. It's gonna be bad in the interim. I mean, how many years ago is this? Five years ago, seven years ago, and look at the date on that. I mean, you got it a long time ago.
Starting point is 00:27:57 So it's obviously a very old track. So it snakes in the grass, you're gonna better pull for sure. Why Kevin? That's a great question. Why Kevin? Because everybody has these fucking just, oh, call me the descendants. Call me the fire torch band. I was like, hey, man, we're just fucking Kevin. It doesn't have to mean anything. We didn't want it to be anything. We were just doing nonsensical shit and we knew it. We did that shit for three years, just goofing. And that was really my first attempt to put anything out there to the world.
Starting point is 00:28:27 Like, ah, here's this guy's plan. Shit, we would have taken it more seriously if we brought more serious people in. But again, when I started music, it was always just people who had no idea what we were doing. You just give it a shot. Yeah, that's kind of how it sounds, man. I mean's let's continue on here We don't got like 30 seconds left so It's like when you go to see a jam band perform live and the band has taken way too much acid before they started performing and it just, they peaked right as their first set began. Yeah, I mean, it's honestly like, hey, this is a, this is somebody who is playing on something they've never seen before. Yeah, I mean, clearly.
Starting point is 00:29:36 I guess I just look at music in a different light than most people because I appreciate my own shit, you know what I mean? I don't know what it is about it. I just like the fact that I did that. So listening back, I still, even just listening now, I, I know what it is. And I accept your opinions on it. But at the same time, I just look at it differently where it's like, Hey, man, fuck it. It was given in a shot. Who were you doing something? Especially when I look at everybody that's that I'm surrounded by who do nothing. Like, oh yeah, he fucking gave it a shot.
Starting point is 00:30:07 Regardless of what it is, he gave it a shot. I mean, and I can understand that, Patrick. And, you know, I like to poke fun here and there, but, you know, and all seriousness, man, you've been playing instruments for, you said since you were 18 years old, I'm assuming you've been doing it for a little while now, I don't know your exact age, but where is the practice in all that?
Starting point is 00:30:27 Like, eventually, I feel like you would you would stumble upon some good fills and shit. Well, believe me, if you if you did, if that was the single song that you found, you didn't listen to the full catalog. And that's not against your research at all. But again, my point is that wasn't my forte. My forte is the vocals. If anybody wants to check the vocal skills, they can do that for sure.
Starting point is 00:30:47 And I mean, that's what I do. I did that for a decade and a half. I'm not defending my drumming skills. I'm defending the vocal skills. So an instrumental play by somebody who had been playing drums for a year and then didn't play for many years and then got back on the kit.
Starting point is 00:31:03 I don't know. It's not the same as talking about a Ronnie Radke, who's made millions of dollars being in a band. You know, I didn't. I guess I wasn't expecting a podcast where I was defending my own music, but here we are. You know, it's funny how things turn out with this show, Pat. And I appreciate you to be a good sport about all of this. Yeah. Yeah. You guys know, you guys know the drill by now. You go to our Twitter page over at Shitty Song Pod and you will listen to it.
Starting point is 00:31:30 You get to the side of which song makes its way through to the Shitty Song of the Year in December. If you think that what Patty Broke in school had Brad brought, you vote for that. If you think what I brought, you vote for that. We want the Shitty songs to make their way through here. And so, you know, Pat, I thought, thank you so much for coming on, man. Is there anything else you want to plug before we wrap it up? Uh, that man, that's all good. Just check out, check out some more Kevin. It's easy to find it. I don't think there's another band called Kevin, but it did stand for a kill everyone
Starting point is 00:31:58 violently if necessary. We did have a little, I forgot to answer. Oh, so Kevin's an acronym, okay. It did eventually become one, just in case anybody asked us out of the curiosity. Oh, sure that's good to know man All right, well, I appreciate you coming on man as always so it's gonna wrap it up for today guys So this has been branded and until next time I'm gonna go home. I'm gonna go home. I'm gonna go home. I'm gonna go home. I'm gonna go home. I'm gonna go home. I'm gonna go home.
