0:00 what uh what Chinese songs did you like uh the Wang FEI Hong song [Music] trying to think about this what is what's a song that represents strongly represents a core memory in your life where every time you hear it you're back at that like Korean Bailey Ray oh [Applause] so there's a few there's a few more that's such a good question that is a good question where does that go say uh can you sing it and then tell us the memory dude yeah sing it just like a star in the sky huh Korean Uncle version no no at least one line just that line well you should ask me to say before I drink so alcohol saps your ████ voice
0:51 or or alcohol gives you the courage yeah but what is this what does the melody even sound like so just like a star Christmas this guy something yeah it's specifically attached to my very first girlfriend hey man come here man are they the same no oh we drank too much oh the power of songs bro what song is this so Corinne Bailey Ray hottest I had the biggest crush on her too but she did her her voice was so melodic right it was very just solemn mesmerizing and so that was that specifically attached to my very first girl because she also had a decent
1:41 voice too and she used to say that all the time so every time I listen to that album I'm cheating on my wife oh ████ oh she's English yes her husband was a jazz oh she used to put your records on girl hey pull your records yeah a little pitchy yeah yeah yeah but that one there's that and also and also uh Kanye West uh his first album College Dropout oh yeah is a huge part of mine the album as a whole yeah you know what it is man like we're not gonna talk about Kanye West the current man who has lost his mind no yeah it's all good we got it you got some good takes up we're talking about Nostalgia we're talking about history what are the tickets did you like from Kanye Jam stuff I'm a big I love when he says that stuff okay
2:31 there it is like Kanye West like his first what I really liked about Kanye West was like how and this is like one of his biggest criticisms people think that he's trying too hard but he really does take the uncool and make it cool right the the polo shirts the preppy ████ look he has that album really shifted hip-hop to another ████ Dimension 100 yeah undeniable it took the gangster out yeah it it was like oh I don't have to be a gangster to be a ████ Lyricist right because he had these ████ one-liners that stick with me till this day I could I could recite lyric for a lyric almost every ████ song on that on on that album yeah dude and like watching what he did during that time really made it cool to be kind of nerdy it set up this whole thing and then there was like the Lupe Fiasco and the Pharrell thing with Escape yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah kicking the pushing a kick in a push and
3:21 so like those those albums and there's probably a few other stuff like a few Jay-Z albums that I really ████ with but those two albums to me are the ones that hit the most yeah any other specific songs that are attached to the specifically is uh you got it bad because that was when I uh I got kicked out of another school and then I was crying and I went to the military school and then I think you know I can't see you just listening to this from being kicked out of school I really do Got It Bad um I was telling you like I was like man sometimes like the people that hang out with me they get sucked into my ████ and they get ████ up so the chick I was dating really good student was about to go to USC like in the debate team like 3.7 GPA that kind of chick she hangs out with me now she doesn't go home for like
4:12 a week or two at a time we're like ████ going across States selling e and we're like 16 and then so like uh when I when I got kicked out of school and I went to that military school I think she was like reassessing her normal life again and she's like oh wait I was on this track not waking up in random people's houses so she recognized I think she recognized it and then so she and then we only have pay phones there and you have to pay the call so I would like as soon as school was over I would talk to her on the phone for like I don't know like 20 minutes or whatever and one of those times she broke up with me and then so when I hung up I was like ████ and then you really had it bad I was like I can't I'm like I was like can you wait I was like can you wait till so the weekend when I come see you oh nah man broken hard time
5:02 at the album and then you remember those Iowa ████ CD players I had the ████ fuzzy things and I remember like laying in my book all these guys and at that age too with the ████ CD player after you're done you gotta ████ restart the play button and then you're like wait that's the best part you hold down the ████ rewind a little bit when you say that you love them and you really know hey stop shaking the bed everything that used to matter it don't matter no more that's actually one of my favorite
5:52 options that's my go-to karaoke song oh yeah because it's the easiest Usher song that's so sad I can see why that would be a core memory and then I remember I finally so I told her don't break up with me wait till the weekend obviously I get in trouble that week so I can't even go home that week so I finally I'm able to go like three weeks later I meet up with her and you know when like a chick like shuts the Rapport down like you're invisible like you you go hey babe what's going on and it's like hey what's going on and they're just like what the ████ does someone just is it snowing in this ████ I know how you I feel dude I would be like are you sure you don't
6:42 want a hug oh this is good this is growth y'all this is gross I like it hey man I'ma tell you all this I told the story before but this is hella ████ embarrassing there's not much of a loser I am maybe it's just I'm drunk I'm gonna say it again same ████ right so my very first girlfriend like we got into this huge flight we're doing long distance I was going to Riverside she was going to Davis yeah and then we you know I knew we weren't compatible like we were best friends but as our relationship we just didn't ████ mesh you know what I mean so one day it was like 4 a.m and we're just like are you on the phone I was like you know what I was like I'll be honest with you we don't match like we're not a good couple yeah we don't make sense I don't understand why we're together and she went dead silent oh right and I think that ████ either helped her realize that what I was saying was true but nobody said it out loud she hung up the phone she and she ghosted me for like two weeks two weeks
7:33 before I was going back to Sacramento to see her um so same ████ you see them in the facial expression is different it's different like they moved on or some ████ no warmth no no nothing you cold-hearted ████ hey let me show you this ████ I'm gonna reenact what I did this is how much of a loser I wasn't actually so we're talking right we're talking right I told this story before but I'm a reenact it for you guys now uh I want you to say that we're not going to beat again anymore and that'll show you how I react to this We're not gonna be together no more [Laughter] for reals you got down on your knees oh crap this b████'s ankles so hard but you're the one that said that you're not compatible I know I regretted it Joe you turn into the guy that goes you're the prince of samunda
8:24 just like a star that's crazy outside her house this one's at my house and I was balling my eyes out dude dude that was one of the best life experiences for me though yeah I collapsed like a ████ pile of Jenga dude I just ████ clapped over so sad bro that was one of the biggest life lessons for me because I realized I was such a ████ loser and I didn't know it I didn't know it like oh you're a ████ loser are you a ████ and she had no warmth to offer you in that moment oh no she was crying in her tears were hitting the back of my head happy tears bro she had some heavies
9:14 oh my God Doug that was probably one of these that's the lowest point of my life I just brought that back up I forgot about that ████ that would be most people's lowest points yeah that's pretty low however you said it you said I was I was 19. to hit a clean gravel like that is pretty rough bro it was bad dude I was grabbing this girl's ankles like like shackles uh give me what emotion you want me to feel or what story you want sad because you have so many that are just like I just feel like there are different songs that have different memories did you have an ATB face
10:07 yeah I'll start I'll start with another a loser moment as well just to make sure that we're you know in this please I feel terrible right now oh God first what is it let me let me explain situations I can't get to straight to Loser right um You Remember the Walkman era right so like man was a big ████ deal right so obviously as a younger brother to my sister I didn't get a walk man my sister had a walk man I just desperately wanted to also have it but if she was using it she was using right and then one day she got to ████ you know like get a different Walkman or some ████ so I finally got her old woman I was oh ████ I'm walking I'ma bring this ████ to elementary school but the problem is like getting the walking is one thing like having the right music on the cassette that you recorded from the radio is a whole different thing so I didn't have any time for that ████ you
10:57 know what I mean I was going on walking to school I just had my sister's cassette and her music which was three songs Spice Girls or something I'll get back to it so I'm going to school and I don't give a ████ what's on it I'm just glad that I get to rep the visual sensation of me having a Walkman right I get to school I'm like I gotta walk me and you know all these other elementary school kids like ████ it's like they accepted me you know what I mean and then you gotta walk but then the older kids like fifth and sixth graders I was gonna be third fourth grade I think fourth grade oh no they ████ ripped it from me they put that ████ on lamb chops wasn't it it was ████ Natasha Bedingfield I don't care what they say
11:48 that was new that was that was that wasn't around you they're like that's a real future it was uh was it Hanson no it was not ████ hampson I feel like you guys are all matching stuff it's like man that's this is it was worse for that era really for for me to be listening to the time it was like a Virgin by Madonna oh my God why were you listening to that because that was the only song that she had on the cassette you got ████ oh it's a dope song it's a good song trust me I'm not at that age at that era at that time in that rap for myself bro and I swear to God like the way I imagine I saw every kid on the Block was there you know what I mean yeah and he was like it's just like a version I swear everyone's like oh if you were good at roasting you would have been like how the ████ would
12:39 you know ████ why are you listening of course I wasn't gonna but you know what I wasn't doing I didn't fall to his ████ ankles and have his heavy tears drop on the back of my head yeah but at least people weren't there to see it loser God damn I was a loser oh my God she had ████ handprints on her ankles so whenever you hear that song does It transport you right back to that moment first for five for five milliseconds I laugh real quick and then I move on to like other ████ you can imagine her being able to do them [Laughter] I always wanted to do this but I will say on a way more positive and way less loser uh frame another Usher song just
13:30 to relate to You Usher Yeah was the first song that I ever did a solo to in high school for our lip sync and it made you popular it made me popular no no not popular because that's too that's too high it just made me noticeable yeah I existed for once in my life they're like hey he's the guy that did that at the talent show yeah that's the core memory for me is along the lines of that because there was this house remix song that a friend of mine gave me on a CD it was Elton who gave me the CD and uh at the time like house CDs you could only get them like word of mouth or just from hand to hand people like because they weren't they weren't really Health says in like house music yeah yeah like they didn't have Ministry of Sound stuff that you could buy readily available like until later so this was like 2003 and I was a person that would attend the dance things that
14:21 you ended up doing like Vibe ultimate brawl Buster Groove like I was just a person in the audience yeah for three years and I'd never I didn't know anybody to even start doing it but I would always sit there and just be so envious I'm like damn man like I wish I could just be on that stage but you didn't even dance you just watched no I I just like started wow and then uh so 2003 I went to these events 2004 I went to the event 2005 is when I finally got to perform that was when I was in sixth step and they gave me a solo and then um it wasn't the song that I danced to at all but then that's when people finally like noticed who I was and on the way home I put that house CD in and there's a song called Night Lights by Samus ████ and it's a polyphonics remix it's such a polyphonics that's some old school how's it Go was like the moment
15:13 that I realized this is the identity that I want forever a dancer yeah because I didn't know what I was that was Usher Yeah I didn't know what I was in the world until that moment and I went this is my rep like from now on and it was that moment that that song played and it was me and Eris and hawk in the car and we were driving back and I was like guys this is us this is us now that's fire ████ that is fine uh please elaborate [Laughter] I was looking dope Scotland Yard yeah and it was for some reason like I listened they put that song on Spotify like recently because it's such a weird song but then it's on there and I was like and every time I listen to it I'm like back at that my my like youth comes
16:03 back and I'm like dude this is still me and like it's so cool that's the craziest connection I have Missy Elliott that's the craziest connection I have the music it's like you know how they say smells tied with memory yeah for me like some songs I actually don't just I stay away from some errors because it takes me so much into that world that it's so emotionally heavy that I just don't listen to it wow like like you get withdrawals you're like like technology gangster rap like ████ yeah like anything I remember printing the lyrics of the Four Seasons of Loneliness as a fifth grader and trying to remember it in class
16:58 yo so good dude oh any Boyz II Men song is specifically tied to the first time I got dumped any Brian McKnight because that that one's really like like you're a little ████ and you're wondering if she thinks about you dude that second verse hits me so ████ hard dude still have your picture in the frame I'm like oh throw it away already oh that ████ gets me dude and you gotta play it back again because you gotta cry again and it's like all the first like heartbreaks ever I swear I hear your voice driving me said how ████ fire are those lyrics dude somebody took time someone sounds what Chinese songs did you like uh the Wang FEI Hong song
17:54 that song was like iconic for me at the time but like anything would have gone yeah yeah anything like that no but any any music my parent my dad was like super into music he had really good taste of music and so do my sisters so I was like heavily influenced by like their music I remember anytime my dad would drive ████ Sade would always play and smooth Operator would go I'll be like that I don't want to listen to this like I would just hate it as a kid but I was like older it's just so reminiscent of like the ████ Ford Windstar that we used to drive you know I mean it'd be like late nights my dad always playing Sade and then um like a lot of music reminds me of like my family like uh my dad would always play at Carlos Santana like that was his ████ he'd be jamming at Carlos sing with Carl Santana song right now ████
18:44 he would always play Oh yoke like you're always playing all that ████ just like all kinds of ████ right he would like he would like the ████ he'd always play Rob Thomas and kids Carlos like what is this and uh BG's always reminds me my mom like I remember my mom would always play uh how deep is your love and she'd always be like it always reminded me of how she didn't love you no yeah but like when how it was her and her mom's song and whenever when my mom my grandmother passed away she would always play that song Oh Margaret she'd always think about that and to you that was cool yeah like he was always remind me that not my grandpa what was another one ████ my mom would always play Luther Vandross in the house bro I'm telling you baby listening to their ████ you know how
19:35 like Grandpa would listen to ████ Korean wailing music like Korean whole folk music is all about pain and destruction so it's just them and I will wake up in the middle of the night nobody's sleeping now I will say I'm thankful to my mom for introducing me to The Beatles via karaoke so it wasn't the actual Beatles yeah so I knew a lot of the midi versions no no dude I knew a lot of The Beatles songs and lyrics and didn't know it was the Beatles as a kid for years because it's just a karaoke VHS and that's what the Casio sound hey how funny if his grandma would always play How Deep Is Your Love but it's the one that goes your love for me The Dru Hill version it's not called beetles it's called beetles
20:25 what about yours Bart was it was it just the raving songs they all depend oh yeah other than you got it back Robert Miles children so all that there's a whole trans face there's a whole trans phase for sure uh there's another one um you know uh no doubt gwent um No Doubt Sunday morning so that song came out when I was in junior high and in junior high spent my Summers on the swim team and so we would swim all the time and uh after swim practice our coach would take us to the beach to go like Boogie boarding or body surfing or whatever and I remember he had like a pretty cool Volkswagen not a bug but like this classic car that seat pretty much like six people it's like a bench seat in the front so three of them it was the van it was the van then no no it was a sedan and I remember that uh like
21:19 all the kids would try to pack into his car because this is back in the day where like I guess safety wasn't that big of an issue I think I think seat belts were optional at the time it was never optional but would continue really okay but they had videos on that about you specifically not doing that or you would die it was it was called red asphalt but continue here and the dummies but continue but the chick that was half white half asian that I had a crush on was sitting next to me like I always wanted to sit next to her in our car ride to the beach and then I was like ████ it's never it never happens it's never in this Arrangement sometimes we would talk when we're in swim practice and then like sometimes like I don't even know if she knows my name and then I remember being in the car with her windows down going hunting the beach this song comes on all of us know the lyrics so we're all just singing along to it and like I remember getting all these Goosebumps because we're like
22:10 literally like this so just that puppy love feeling is is attached to full boners dude that's the Korean Bailey red thing the Sunday morning song I'm gonna listen to every song that was mentioned here on the way home yeah Corinne Bailey raised especially yeah I'm gonna play it out that whole album with that the one that whole album dude finds a seal a kisser this needs a part too with Geo in it she'll probably name every freaking song on Earth nobody knows he knows about me
