0:14 stream, 100 p.m. here, Eastern time. And
0:19 uh I'm going to talk about some stuff
0:22 related to my video from yesterday on
0:25 the top 10 Spotify countdown.
0:29 Um, I I had some thoughts that I wanted
0:32 to uh to speak about kind of related to
0:36 a couple of the comments.
0:39 Um, anyhow, I'll get to it in a second.
0:42 Uh, today's the beginning of our
0:44 Memorial Day sale that's going to go
0:46 through next Monday. Uh, I don't know if
0:49 I'm going to be back on live, so I'm I'm
0:51 going to put it out there here even
0:54 though it's nine days away. I'm gonna um
0:57 it's going to be my complete beat

1:09 courses. If you don't, you should
1:10 definitely check them out at
1:11 rickbato.com. My biatbook interactive.
1:14 I'm going to re talk about this stuff

1:19 songs thing, how this relates to
1:22 actually understanding music. Uh my bi
1:25 ear training, right? Figure out how do
1:27 you figure out things by ear like I did

2:05 into learning more about music. This is
2:08 a great way to do it. Um Aaron tells me

2:20 It goes through uh Monday, Memorial Day
2:23 at midnight, which is nine days from
2:25 now. Okay.
2:28 So, I want to talk about a
2:32 uh
2:33 so I was thinking about this today kind
2:37 of as a response to uh to you know just
2:41 talking with my friends about this about
2:43 the list of songs yesterday. I'm I'm
2:46 gonna play a couple of the songs, play a
2:47 couple bits. And I came up with this
2:49 idea that there's no wait for moments in
2:53 songs. Almost none. What does that mean?
2:56 Things that you actually want to
2:58 relisten to songs for. Because I've
3:00 noticed that my kids don't want to hear
3:03 songs over and over like I did as a kid
3:06 because there's no wait for moments.
3:07 There's nothing. We're like, "Yes, you
3:09 hear that? You hear that? I did 115 what
3:13 makes this song great episodes because
3:16 every one of the songs that I put in
3:17 there have many wait for moments like
3:21 wait for this thing to come back again
3:23 whether it's a some key change or some
3:26 interesting note in the melody or some
3:28 interesting lyric that happens that you
3:30 just want to hear over and over and over
3:32 and over some great drum fill whatever
3:34 it is those wait for moments somebody
3:37 left me a comment between the video
3:39 title and very concept of constantly
3:40 only judging what young people listen
3:42 to. I'm not judging what young people
3:45 listen to. I'm judging what I'm
3:47 listening to. How does that have to do
3:49 with anything about young people? Me
3:52 listening to the top 10 songs on
3:54 Spotify. Uh because let's be honest, the
3:56 Billboard top 10 chart since the rise of
3:58 Elvis been driven by
4:01 tw 12 to 20 year olds. Has it? The
4:05 charts historically were created
4:07 basically by the record labels and pola.
4:09 So, that's really not true. Uh, playing
4:11 a few chords just to say music was
4:13 better back when songs were complex is
4:16 ridiculous.
4:17 [Music]
4:19 Um, okay. So, that's on its
4:23 face. Let's just say that that uh No,
4:27 that's laughable. Um, and then it's uh
4:30 um here's the thing.
4:33 This person that writes this comment
4:35 acts as if music is created by by 12 to
4:40 20 year olds. Most of the music on the
4:42 charts are created by people. No matter
4:45 who the singer is, these are people in
4:48 their 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s. The people
4:51 that create the songs on the charts, the
4:54 songwriters, the artists. How old do you
4:56 think Drake is? He's like 38 years old.
4:59 you know that all these people that are
5:01 on the charts are in their 30s whether
5:04 it's Morgan Wallen I mean a lot of the
5:06 people are in the 30s and if they're not
5:08 in the 30s the other songwriters that
5:10 are writing the songs are in their 30s
5:12 40s and 50s the people mixing the
5:14 records who do you think mixes pop
5:16 records Ganaia he's 55 58 years
5:21 old Spike Stent is almost 60 years old
5:24 that like the biggest mixers in the
5:26 music business that mix all the top
5:28 songs are in their 50s, 40s, 50s, 60s,
5:33 you know, and it's always been like
5:37 this. Actually, it wasn't like this back
5:40 uh, you know, 40 years ago. It was not
5:41 like that. people that were in their 20s
5:44 were actually writing their own songs
5:46 and and were uh producing them, whether
5:49 it was Stevie Wonder
5:51 or Sting
5:55 uh or Michael Jackson or whoever the
5:58 people were creating music in their 20s,
6:01 writing the songs themselves and putting
6:03 them out there, right? Even the session
6:06 players were young that were playing on
6:09 them. If you think about who played on
6:10 Thriller record, it was basically all
6:13 the people in Toto, Steve Lucther, Jeff
6:15 Picaro. I mean, all these people, those
6:18 guys were in their 20s then that were
6:20 playing on these records. Okay. So, you
6:22 got the session players, Stevie Wonder,
6:24 what he was 10th record. He was 26 years
6:27 old. Okay. Yes, he started when he was
6:29 young. Uh, but let's talk about some of
6:32 these songs that I I'll
6:34 um let me talk about these wait for
6:38 moments. Let me give you an example. I
6:40 was thinking like what are the first
6:41 things that come off the top of my head?
6:43 Uh I think of this
6:47 song. This is King of Pain. It was a
6:50 number one song by the Police in
6:56 1983. of
6:59 synchronicity. There's a little black
7:02 spot on the side
7:07 today. It's the same old
7:11 [Music]
7:12 right here.
7:14 And
7:16 then there's a black hat in a high tree.
7:22 Perfect
7:23 melody. There's a flag pole rack and the
7:27 wind pull stop.
7:32 Oh man, I have stood here before inside
7:35 the pouring
7:39 rain or
7:44 upright, but it's my
7:46 [Music]
7:49 destiny. And
7:51 then there's a little black spot on the
7:57 sun. This goes
8:00 back in the
8:04 [Music]
8:07 past. There's a black car in a high
8:11 tree. Beautiful
8:14 back. There's a black dragon.
8:18 won't stop in the
8:22 forest. I stood in before I
8:27 [Music]
8:30 for Okay, somebody's like, "This is
8:33 cherry
8:34 picking." How about this song?
8:36 [Music]
8:42 human
8:45 nature looking
8:48 out across the
8:52 [Music]
8:56 night.
8:58 Always shake my
9:01 window. Sweets and
9:03 loing size.
9:06 Get me
9:08 out into the
9:11 night for walls won't hold me
9:16 tonight. If this
9:18 town is just an
9:21 apple, then let me take a
9:25 bite. If they say
9:29 why, tell them that it's human nature.
9:32 Why? Why does he do it that way? Okay,
9:37 we don't realistic rock music. We can go
9:40 to music like this.
9:42 [Music]
9:51 [Applause]
9:55 [Music]
10:05 [Music]
10:15 Okay. Load up your clothes. Bring your
10:21 friends
10:22 [Music]
10:24 into the world selfishure.
10:30 [Music]
10:34 I mean, I could play any song off this
10:38 record
10:41 and just go look. Nirvana's got 32
10:44 million monthly listeners and they
10:46 haven't put out a record since
10:50 1994. What about
10:57 this? Like every part of these
11:05 songs is interesting.
11:11 Music is a world with an
11:14 in the neighbors we all
11:19 understand with an equal
11:23 opportunity for all to sing dance and
11:26 clap their
11:27 hands. But just because the record has a
11:31 groove don't make it in the groove. But
11:33 you can tell right away in Dr. A when
11:36 the people start to
11:38 move. They can feel it
11:42 all. They can feel our
11:47 love. They can feel it. I
11:51 love they can
11:59 feel amazing.
12:03 Everybody's playing it in unison.
12:06 Okay. It could be this.
12:14 [Music]
12:18 All these songs were number one songs.
12:23 [Music]
12:25 [Applause]
12:28 [Music]
12:32 There used to be a gray tower alone on
12:37 the sea. Wow. You became the light on
12:42 the dark side of
12:44 me. Love remains a drug that's high
12:51 enough. But did you know that when it
12:54 snows my eyes become alive? And the
12:58 light that you shine can't be
13:18 sees. A light hits the gloom on the
13:27 grave.
13:29 [Music]
13:31 Okay. All
13:33 right. Right. This is
13:36 unbelievable.
13:38 Um,
13:40 now I didn't even play any Beatles. I
13:43 didn't play ABBA. I didn't play the
13:46 Jackson 5 or anything. Well, let me play
13:48 some Beatles
13:51 [Music]
13:57 here. There are places I
14:02 remember all my
14:04 life. Though some have changed, some
14:08 forever not for
14:11 better, some have gone. Okay. Okay. So,
14:14 what am I talking about about these
14:15 these wait for it moments? Okay. Let's
14:18 just talk about the intro to this
14:21 [Music]
14:30 song. Places
14:37 I some have
14:39 changed. a perfect melody. It has an
14:42 amazing intro hook to it. It's got all
14:46 these key changes. It's got incredibly
14:48 interesting chord changes. It's got
14:50 amazing lyrics like all of these songs
14:52 do. All these songs great lyrics. Um,
14:58 now let's listen to some of the things
15:00 that were that uh I
15:06 guess this is Morgan Hall.
15:10 [Music]
15:13 I'm a
15:14 redneck cuz I drink beer and I dip
15:17 skull. Guess I'm a
15:19 rambler cuz I cannot be on the road.
15:22 Might be a lost cause. Now I understand.
15:26 I understand if you're a redneck
15:28 and and you can't rhyme Copenhagen,
15:32 right? So you have to use skull in uh
15:35 instead. But that line I can't I mean I
15:40 went up and wrote with Nashville writers
15:42 many many times but I had never heard
15:43 anybody write lyrics like that. It's got
15:46 to be people that are not from Nashville
15:49 writing these songs because I don't know
15:51 Nashville writers that write lyrics like
15:52 that. Be out till the lights and I'm a
15:56 gambler. I take the over on the
15:59 underdog. That's a great half of this
16:02 town has got a name for me and I can't
16:06 say I don't
16:08 agree but the night I said I'm leaving I
16:12 turned into Richard broke my heart so I
16:16 got even in my 97
16:23 but I mean these kind of melodies this
16:26 is what I'm talking about that nobody's
16:27 going to remember this kind of stuff
16:29 it's It's not
16:30 bad. It's not bad. Is beaver like it's
16:34 so bad. Um, who's going to remember this
16:37 stuff in the future? I don't know. Um,
16:41 or
16:42 who's calling that Who's calling
16:45 that Who's calling that
16:48 Who's calling that
16:51 Who? Yeah. Yeah. Overall sound
16:57 2025. Who's calling that
17:00 Is
17:01 it? Is
17:03 it? Is
17:05 it? Is
17:07 [Music]
17:08 it? Is
17:10 it? What's the function? Where the
17:13 the function? Where the the
17:15 function? The way I feel right now, I
17:17 feel like we need to be all alone. So if
17:20 you just playing around, you need to
17:21 tell your girl take a finance home. And
17:23 that's real. Okay.
17:34 Now, what I'm doing here, so so like for
17:38 calling me out for criticizing today's
17:41 music is kind of a false equivalency,
17:45 right? Um, I'm not being nostalgic for
17:50 what uh, you know, or comparing it to
17:53 what to younger generations. First of
17:54 all, I don't think this is a thing. It's
17:56 like whatever is on the charts, I don't
17:59 have any control over. I just open up
18:01 Spotify. I put top US songs for this
18:05 day, and it's really just for the day
18:07 when I do it. Um,
18:11 and
18:13 and these songs, it's not like these
18:16 songs are written for young kids,
18:19 okay? We don't know who's listening to
18:22 these songs. and music of
18:25 today. Like, who's Drake's audience? The
18:29 guy's 38 years old. His audience is
18:32 older people, I think. Right. Who's
18:35 Morgan Wall? Morgan Wallen's 32 years
18:38 old. Who's his audience? Is it
18:40 12-year-old kids? I don't know any 12-y
18:41 old kids listening to
18:44 that. I played this song, Jess Murf.
18:51 you. I had to get back at you. I had to
18:54 get back at
19:00 you. I just bought a mansion in
19:06 [Music]
19:08 Mel. You know how I get willing
19:13 attitude. Yeah. You got me throwing blue
19:16 strips, bad tits in a strip club,
19:19 throwing ones at your and I know
19:22 you know it's going on. I'm going home.
19:25 I'mma take it off for my strip down.
19:36 [Music]
19:39 Okay, so let's just look at some of
19:40 these things. Okay, that thing is that
19:42 song's called Blue Strips by Jess Jesse
19:45 Murphy. Murf. Jesse Murf. Credits Daniel
19:49 Tannon, Laura Veltz, Jesse
19:52 Murf, Su
19:55 uh Gearman, Tyler Melon Bacher. Produced
19:59 by Beckan, Ser uh Sergu Garman, Tyler
20:04 Reese. It's on Colombia Big Machine.
20:06 Must be a country song. Doesn't sound
20:08 like a country song, but it must be a
20:09 country artist.
20:11 Most of these songs are written by six,
20:13 seven people. They they literally are
20:16 written by people. The Morgan Wallen
20:18 song with Post Malone. Let's see.
20:21 Credits. How many people? Uh Austin
20:24 Post, Ernest, Keith Smith, Lewis Bell,
20:27 Michael Hardy, Morgan Wallen, Ryan, uh
20:30 somebody or other. Okay, so these are
20:33 produced by Joy Moy, produced by one
20:35 person. Joy Moy is um is a big Nashville
20:38 producer. great producer. Did like
20:41 Florida Georgia line. That's where he
20:42 got his first big hits back in 2013 or
20:45 so. And Joey Moy engineered and mixed
20:47 all the Nickelback records. He was
20:49 partners with Chad Kroger and uh and
20:52 left and moved to Nashville. He's a
20:54 talented guy uh and produced tons of hit
20:58 records. I think he worked with Rascal
21:00 Flats or maybe no that was Dan Huff I
21:03 think did a lot of Rascal Flats.
21:05 Anyways, very successful producer. But
21:08 these songs are written by committees.
21:10 They're they're designed to appeal to
21:13 the broadest
21:16 um group of people possible, but to me
21:20 they lack any emotional depth or art
21:25 artistry. It's my own opinion
21:27 though. Is that me yelling at
21:30 clouds by giving my opinion? What does
21:33 my opinion have to do with yelling at
21:35 clouds?
21:36 Um, somebody says my volume is
21:43 low. My
21:46 opinion and I'm not the ones that are
21:49 controlling what's on the
21:53 charts. What is on the charts is
21:55 whatever people are listening to. And
21:57 it's it's just, you know, whatever
22:00 people hear on TikTok.
22:04 Um,
22:06 so I'm not sure what to say.
22:11 Um, I'm giving my opinion on these songs
22:15 right now. How do you actually change
22:18 this stuff? How do you how do people
22:20 actually create better
22:22 music? That to me is an interesting
22:25 topic. And I think that
22:28 um I think one way is for people to
22:33 study uh is to make their music more
22:36 interesting. Have these wait for
22:38 moments. Wait for it moments. Is there
22:40 any wait for it moments in this song
22:42 here?
22:47 [Music]
22:49 Smoking cigarettes.
22:51 [Music]
22:58 I mean, is that like this? There's no
23:01 way the man could
23:03 lose. You can feel it
23:07 all. You can feel it. I love the
23:12 people. You can feel it. I
23:16 love You can feel it. I love the people.
23:22 You can feel it.
23:32 Uh when I hear
23:35 this, that's a wait for it moment right
23:38 there.
23:43 [Music]
23:47 One of the
23:48 uh one of the things that uh that I
23:52 think is has
23:54 happened in music over the last
23:58 generation or so uh at least
24:02 since really in since the mid 2000s
24:06 let's say since 2008 because the death
24:08 of the music business was was in many
24:11 ways probably around
24:14 2005. This is when uh record labels
24:17 stopped taking a chance and and uh all
24:20 the budgets disappeared for for records
24:22 and then people had to make records on
24:24 their own, which they started doing. And
24:26 it's great that you could do stuff on
24:27 your own. I can make my own live videos
24:30 right here. I don't have to be on CNN or
24:32 whatever. I don't have to be on network
24:34 TV. I don't have to be on anything. I
24:37 just come on YouTube. I can come on
24:39 Instagram, Tik Tok, whatever. and just
24:42 you got a mic, you got a camera, you can
24:45 go on. Um,
24:48 but there has been such a a um a decline
24:53 in the
24:55 uh um in people learning
24:59 music. And to me, that's a huge huge
25:03 thing. I think that's really led to the
25:05 decree decrease decrease in kids being
25:09 interested in music because frankly most
25:12 a lot of the
25:13 music that you hear on the pop charts is
25:16 not interesting. Now is there great
25:18 music out today? Oh yeah. I had Billy
25:22 Strings in here and Billy Strings is
25:26 amazing. If you haven't watched the
25:29 interview with him, watch it. Billy
25:32 Strings
25:33 is so brilliant. His guitar playing is
25:39 insanely good. He's an incredibly good
25:43 singer. Um, my god,
25:47 unbelievable. He's one of the best, you
25:51 know, artists out. Is he on this chart?
25:54 No, he's not on this chart. Does he have
25:58 a 100red million monthly listeners? like
26:01 whoever we look at the top of the
26:03 charts.
26:04 No, he but he can sell out two nights at
26:07 the uh at the basketball arena here in
26:11 Atlanta, which is amazing and ex it's
26:15 exciting. There are some of the best
26:18 musicians, the best players that have
26:20 ever lived are alive now on multiple
26:25 instruments. Okay? But that doesn't mean
26:28 that people
26:31 uh the general public are consuming
26:33 great things. It used to be that a lot
26:36 of the things that were great were also
26:39 popular, but that's just not really the
26:42 case
26:42 anymore.
26:45 Um and this thing like the charts always
26:49 sucked. Um I don't buy that. There's,
26:52 you know, there are songs go back 30
26:54 years, 40
26:57 years. You know, take take two months
27:00 worth of charts and you're gonna have
27:02 songs that you still hear
27:04 today. Just a fact. You will. Are you
27:07 going to listen to any of these songs
27:09 that I played yesterday, 20 years from
27:11 now? I doubt
27:13 it. Um, I doubt you will. I doubt you
27:18 will.
27:20 Um, but how do you get better at writing
27:23 songs? By learning stuff about music.
27:25 This has been kind of my thing since I
27:28 started my channel. Um, when almost nine
27:32 years ago, it'll be nine years, two
27:34 weeks from now that I've been on
27:36 YouTube. And
27:38 um, and when I started on YouTube, about
27:40 three months into my channel, I I
27:43 started selling my BAT
27:45 book. It was just a PDF then. And there
27:48 was no video content. I there were not
27:50 many people were selling. I don't know
27:52 anybody was selling video courses.
27:54 Probably there were back in 2016, but um
27:56 I eventually made it into a video
27:58 course. And um and now I have six
28:02 educational courses that I
28:04 sell. And those six courses, Mike's
28:07 pasting them in here. My Memorial Day
28:09 special 85% off. I'm just reading that
28:12 right now. Right. What are my courses?
28:16 my music theory for
28:17 songwriters. You want to learn how to
28:20 maybe take some of these ideas and and
28:24 improve your songs by going places that
28:26 are unexpected by giving people these
28:28 wait for it moments. You can do that. I
28:32 have 115 song breakdowns on my channel
28:35 of some of the greatest songs ever
28:37 written in my what makes this song great
28:41 uh series, right? which is all not just
28:43 about songwriting, it's about music
28:44 production too. My BAT book interactive
28:48 is a theory
28:49 uh compendium, right? It's it's a video
28:52 course that's based on 40 years of
28:57 teaching
28:59 uh that has so many video lectures. It's
29:03 got examples of every single thing in
29:05 there. There are audio examples in
29:07 addition to video lectures. My ear
29:09 training has hundreds of training
29:12 modules to teach you how to listen to a
29:15 song one time like I do in these these
29:17 charts. Now, I'm not saying that it's
29:19 hard to listen to any of the songs in
29:21 the top 10 on Spotify and be able to
29:24 figure them out. None of them have over
29:27 four chords.
29:29 Okay? So, um, but if you want to figure
29:33 out these songs like In My Life by the
29:35 Beatles and play them, you got to know
29:38 something because it goes A to E to F#
29:42 minor to A over G, then it goes to D,
29:45 then it goes D minor, then it goes back
29:47 to
29:48 A. How do I know that? Because I can
29:50 hear these chords in my head right now
29:53 because I've trained my ears over
29:55 decades to hear them.
29:58 That's why I remember all these
29:59 different songs is because I learned
30:02 them and I didn't forget them. And why
30:04 didn't I forget them? Because I my inner
30:07 ear can hear them and I hear the
30:09 relationship from one chord to the next
30:11 or from the bass notes. And I can hear
30:14 in my mind whether the chords are major,
30:17 minor, or dominant or half diminished or
30:19 diminished or
30:21 augmented. I know that because I've
30:23 studied this stuff and I practiced ear
30:25 training. And this is what I do in my
30:28 ear training course is I give people the
30:31 tools to learn this stuff. All right? So
30:33 you can learn songs by ear as you're
30:36 hearing them. Do I need that for Morgan
30:39 Wallen to go from E major 7 to B major
30:42 7? That's the verse. And then the chorus
30:46 is G sharp minor 7 to E to B. That's it.
30:51 Nothing else. This is, you know, grade
30:54 school stuff. Are there Nashville
30:56 writers capable of writing amazing
30:58 songs? Oh my god, there are. But they
31:01 don't write them. Why? Because people
31:03 don't because we have a whole generation
31:05 of people
31:07 that really are not interested in
31:10 hearing more complex. I think this is
31:12 the theory that they don't want to hear
31:14 things that are more complicated than
31:15 that. But I disagree with that. I think
31:17 that that's not true. I think that the I
31:20 think people uh will listen to much more
31:23 interesting music than people give them
31:25 credit for.
31:27 Okay.
31:29 Um when I hear these songs, I know what
31:32 they are. That's why but that's from ear
31:35 training.
31:37 my other courses in here, my beginner
31:39 guitar course, my arpeggio master class,
31:41 my quick lessons pro, those are things
31:43 that that are specifically for people
31:47 that play
31:48 guitar. Uh, but the other three things
31:51 in here, the music theory for
31:53 songwriters, the uh the biata book
31:56 interactive, and my ear training courses
31:57 are really for anybody. You can get all
32:00 six of these courses for 109 bucks. It's
32:02 like what is that? Four would be 25
32:06 bucks a course. It's six courses for 109
32:09 bucks. What is it? 20. Is that even 20?
32:12 Is it even 25 bucks a course? I'm
32:14 terrible with math. I'm sorry that
32:17 that's a that's an incredibly good deal.
32:20 Whatever it is, Mike says that it's a
32:23 85% off savings. It's my complete
32:26 method. I did it one more I did it one
32:29 other time this year. Otherwise, I've
32:31 never sold all six of these courses. I'm
32:33 doing it through Memorial Day. You know,
32:35 I hope that people will learn more about
32:38 music. I hope the kids will get back
32:40 into learning
32:42 instruments. The ones that are doing it,
32:45 like I said, are the best ever. They
32:49 are. My
32:51 god. Some of the people I've had on
32:54 here, besides Billy Strings, Matteo
32:56 Manuso, Mattea Sado, these are
33:01 unbelievable. And the people that some
33:03 somebody says, "Rick does talk about
33:04 Billy." I talk about Billy Isish. Billy
33:07 isish is incredibly talented. Her and
33:09 her brother Phineas write their own
33:10 songs and they produce them
33:13 themselves. They don't need 10 people to
33:16 write them. They write them
33:18 themselves, right? The amount of people
33:21 that write their own songs, when I look
33:22 at Kiss from a Rose, who's the
33:24 songwriter? Seal. Who's the
33:27 producer? Trev. Trevor. Uh
33:32 um Trevor Horn, who's the songwriter on
33:36 Human Nature? Who is it? Is it Steve
33:39 Picaro and uh let's see
33:42 here? Steve Picaro and John Bettis.
33:45 Okay. Who's the producer? Quincy Jones.
33:48 One person. The police. Sting. One
33:52 writer. The producers. The police. and
33:56 uh and
33:59 um Hugh Padum, right? I mean, pretty
34:03 much these all these old songs are are
34:06 Smells Like Teen Spirit, written by Kurt
34:09 Cobain, produced by Butch Vig. There you
34:12 go. Used to be that people could write
34:14 their own songs. Stevie Wonder, written
34:17 by Stevie
34:18 Wonder, you know,
34:20 man. Oh boy, you guys are amazing. So, I
34:24 just thought I w wanted to address this
34:26 thing, but but the idea that I'm I'm
34:28 dunking on young people, this has
34:29 nothing to do with young people. All
34:32 this people that that uh half the people
34:34 on the on the top of the charts are
34:37 people in their 30s. And the people
34:40 writing the songs are in their 30s, 40s,
34:42 50s, and the people mixing the songs are
34:45 in their 40s and 50s.
34:50 So the idea that these so that I'm
34:52 dunking on people that are that are kids
34:55 that are writing their own songs, it's
34:56 like the these pop songs are written by
34:59 old
35:01 people. Anyways, that's all I have to
35:04 say for today. It's been great. Uh uh
35:07 love to know your thoughts. Hit
35:09 subscribe. We're getting near 5 million.
35:12 Um hopefully be there in I don't know,
35:15 two weeks or so.
35:18 Uh, we'll have a big party then.
35:20 Probably should be right around when I
35:22 hit f uh hit my ninth year.
35:25 Um, ninth year. You guys are amazing.
35:28 Great to have you on there. It wasn't
35:30 me. Thank you. Appreciate
35:33 it. Much love from Guatemala. There you
35:37 go. Um, we'll talk to you guys soon.
