DRUNK ABOUT SOMETHING! PHIL HARTMAN AND SPRINGFIELD 3 RECAP
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A comedy icon with a voice you can hear in your head. Three women who walk into a home after graduation night and never walk back out. This recap turns from pop culture nostalgia to pure dread as we revisit the death of Phil Hartman and the long running mystery of the Springfield Three in Springfield, Missouri.
We talk through why Phil Hartman mattered so much to SNL and the 90s comedy scene, then trace the private unraveling behind the scenes: a marriage poisoned by jealousy, addiction, and escalating abuse that ends in an act of intimate partner violence that still shocks people who thought they “knew” the story. If you remember NewsRadio, The Simpsons, or classic SNL sketches, you’ll feel the loss in a new way.
Then we shift to the unsolved Springfield Three disappearance: Cheryl Levitt, Suzie Streeter, and Stacey McCall vanish between 2 a.m. and 9 a.m., leaving behind broken glass, a distressed dog, cars out of place, and an answering machine message from a creepy caller that gets erased forever. We dig into how the early hours went sideways, why the crime scene effectively collapsed, and which suspects and later claims keep the case alive. If you have information, we share how to submit tips.

SPEAKER_00So it's gotta be out Friday, and then we'll recap it like the next Wednesday the following. So yeah, this is gonna be fun, right? I mean, not that it's fun ever. No, ever.
SPEAKER_02Well, I'll actually, so I'm we we will do the recap, but I'm taking a little break and we are re-releasing our three-part trilogy of the West Memphis 3. Of the West Memphis 3.
SPEAKER_00I'm excited about that. I'm not excited about it. No. Okay, because it's still like unsolved type bullshit, and there's a lot you can go back now, or you can check out the uh re-release that's coming up too. That's gonna be uh another adventure that I have to look at, and we have to record some pre-reels for that that to make it uh authentically authentic.
Phil Hartman And SNL Stardom
SPEAKER_02Authentically, yeah, authentically republished. So number one uh case that we're gonna be recapping is about what happened to Phil Hartman. And our age and older will definitely know who Phil Hartman is, I hope.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, so tag it. Tag it over there in the lives if you know who Phil Hartman is from SNL. SNL. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02So he um he was born in 1948, and uh he was Canadian originally. Hello, Kannada. Yeah, and then he moved to Maine and then Connecticut and then California.
SPEAKER_00Right before he started his actual career into stuff, right?
SPEAKER_02Right. He was he was class clown in his high school, and um he fit in with any crowd, he fit in with the jocks, the hippies, and he actually was friends with somebody else's part of True Crime, uh named Squeaky Frome, who was part of the Manson family. But this was way before all of that happened. I know.
SPEAKER_00So yeah, master at doing personal personations, impersonations and things. Like uh there was like a party where he just stood up for like hours, and in front of everybody, he just had all these amazing personations, impersonations.
SPEAKER_02Impersonations, yes.
SPEAKER_00What did he do? Like John Wayne, like nailed it.
SPEAKER_02John Wayne, uh Jack Benny, uh he did a few, and like, yeah, he was in this hot spring where there was like so much fog that you couldn't see the person next to you, and he just captivated this odd oh and Sinatra. I forgot. Yeah, he impersonated Sinatra. Cranky, yeah. And he just had this captivating personality. He was a comedic genius.
SPEAKER_00You can tell, like, by going back to SNL and watching all this. I mean, after you're gonna be amazing. I made I made Jesse doing this, yeah. After you dumped all this on me, Lindsay, it was just like you can tell his his charisma talent in captivating everyone around him, and his everyone was focused on him.
SPEAKER_02He was I love his voice so much. I love Phil Hartman's voice.
SPEAKER_00He was literally the glue through SNL during his time there, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Well, he had uh a couple of failed marriages, and then when he gets with this woman named Bryn, uh it was Bryn Omdahl, who would be later Bryn Hartman, um, she was about a decade younger than him, and she was like the tall blonde model type who had tried to make it in California, but hadn't so far. And she's seen that Phil was really going places, like he was bi-coastal. He was um he was doing SNL, he had been part of the groundlings, which check out our full episode on this, Phil Hartman. Um so we talk more about it and we go into depth about it. But she was trying to like, you know, ride his coattails and become relevant herself, and it didn't really work out for her.
Brynn Hartman And A Dangerous Spiral
SPEAKER_00But he was solidified in like to the full-on Hollywood lifestyle, like they were going to uh the the he was doing like the Catalina wine mixers and stuff, like he was going on trips and going to the islands. He loved Catalina Island, like loved Catalina, so he was around some of the the the stars and the people because his talent, but she obviously just didn't have the talent, you know. She was just striving to get in that limelight. Am I correct?
SPEAKER_02Right. And she was very uh Bryn becomes very physically and mentally abusive to Phil. And uh what I do talk about in the episode is I think that he had had these failed relationships before. So he was and he had he had children with Bryn.
SPEAKER_00Right.
SPEAKER_02So he wanted to make sure that he made this one work.
SPEAKER_00Horrifically, the glue. Because he was the glue for SNL and he was the glue for his family. He stuck around with her and she had drug problems, and she had a lot of things that weren't working out for her. She went to Hollywood, she thought she was gonna do it, right? And it wasn't working out, and even in SNL, like you mentioned, where like, you know, it's Saturday Night Live featuring Phil Hartman.
SPEAKER_02She made sure she was in his introduction video.
SPEAKER_00She's like dipping in.
SPEAKER_02Did you did you watch it?
SPEAKER_00I can see the opening here.
SPEAKER_02You can see, like, I'm I've got a dangly earring on today. So you can see in the video where she was like trying to show her face, and she and they're like, no, this is Phil's. And so when she turns like this, you can see her earring dangling.
SPEAKER_00Could you imagine taking those shots and then literally telling her you need to step away a floor? Girl, turn your head out of the camera.
SPEAKER_02This is Phil's, you know, this is Phil's spotlight. This is Phil's flight.
SPEAKER_00Everybody has their little open where they have their picture or the little film of them goofing or getting in a cab or eating somewhere or doing something in New York, right? And then there's her dangley or flipping.
SPEAKER_02It's in a diner. Yeah, he's in a diner.
SPEAKER_00It is a big Easter egg for this one, really. It really was to me.
SPEAKER_02So he his uh initial um cast that he's with is uh with John Lovitz and Dana Carvey and Lorraine Newman, but he goes on to work with Mike Myers and Chris Farley and Adam Sandler. Like he's he's there for a while.
SPEAKER_00The people that I love started coming in when he was on his way out. So he did he did spend his time actually in SNL. Yeah. He got to do his whole run and then he moved on and did like the radio show thing he was talking about.
SPEAKER_02He his cast helped save SNL from getting canceled. Literally.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, because comedy has been changing really over the over the the period between the 80s and then the into the the 90s and stuff. And people were kind of like blah about SNL, you know, because it was like some weird political tensions or the the comedy wasn't really matching up to what people's interest was, so they lost a lot of ratings and he kind of brought it back.
SPEAKER_02And that's why they ended up nicking nicknaming him the glue. He he held it together. Now, um him and Bryn's relationship would be tumultuous throughout, period. And like I said, she was very jealous of his success. She wanted his success. And when he graduates from SNL, he uh initially was gonna get a show dedicated just towards him, uh, called uh it was either the Phil Show or the Phil Hartman show, but it didn't work out. And Brynn had thought that she was gonna get a part in this show, so there's more drama, there's more uh, you know, turmoil.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, she thought she was gonna get a ride right there, and it didn't work out because you know the producers they ultimately control everything, you know? They probably just she just wasn't any good. We have to produce this, it has to be good.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, and she wasn't good, but he does go on to sh uh star in a show that I loved so much. Um uh called what the fuck was it called? I've I've like I said, this is drunk about something. No, news radio, news radio, yeah, and I just had to look for really quick in my notes. So news radio, he has his own segment in that show where he is um Bill McNeil, and it was the real deal with Bill McNeil. And I loved his character so much.
SPEAKER_00All the skits are very organically common.
SPEAKER_02Did you watch any of the news radio?
SPEAKER_00No, we just did SNL and then we went fucked off.
SPEAKER_02Scott Foley was why did we just Dave Foley? Excuse me, not Scott Foley, Dave Foley.
SPEAKER_00We watched that shit and we fucked off. We went to sleep. We need to go back.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I made Jesse watch a lot because I've been an SNL geek since a very young age. Um, it was kind of like a rebellious thing for me. I would find a way to watch TV late at night because I wasn't allowed to. And SNL was what would be on.
SPEAKER_00On the labs over there, ask me what I'm drinking, and I'll tell you. It's a bourbon, but it's very good.
SPEAKER_02And I'm having a white claw. Um, I've got blackberry right now, and I'm about to switch to pineapple.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, we didn't cover the uh drinks earlier, no.
SPEAKER_02So, like I said, Brent has drug problems and touching my nose, so you guys can figure out what kind. She's been in rehab a couple of times. Um and she really she doesn't she doesn't appreciate, first of all, that she's not as famous as Phil. And then Phil is also going off with his friend, uh Britt, to Catalina Island a lot. He just liked to sail. That was his way of unwinding after doing his acting jobs. He he does voiceovers in uh The Simpsons. He does a lot of things. He plays small minor parts in other films.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, and at the same time, I'm thinking that he is getting back from work and he's wanting to go back to his household situation, but it's it's kind of dramatic. Terrible. He's like, dude, I'm just gonna go to Catalina and hang out with my bros or whatever, and just you know, I'm coming back home to relax to my sanctuary, but she's created something that is just not workable, you know, in a relationship. But he's hanging on to it because he's got kids and he's got this money, and he knows that they're all taken care of, but she is just being very toxic. Yeah.
Phil’s Death And Fallout
SPEAKER_02Well, and uh Joe Rogan was in that show as well in news radio, and like Joe uh tells him several times, you need to leave this woman. And like I said, this is not on you know factual and documented, but I really just believe that Phil Phil um wanted to make this relationship work and not be a failed one like it had been before. So he puts up with all the bullshit, and she ends up killing him. Yeah, and then she takes her own life, and like I said, they have two kids, they're in the house while this goes on, and it's nobody's fault but friends, what happens. Um, and his best friends were Paul Rubin, or Paul Rubin's and John Lovitz. And John Lovitz, he blames Andy Dick, who also starred in news radio with Phil Hartman.
SPEAKER_00Oh, yeah, that's right, because they were at a party and he had sold her some Yayo, right? And some of that wanger.
SPEAKER_02Yes.
SPEAKER_00And then like they hung on to that for a while, but like dude's just trying to party and do a lot of things. Not for a while.
SPEAKER_02I think that John Lovitz still holds that grudge to this day. Yeah. He's he lost his friend, and that's was his outlet of grief. You had to blame somebody, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Even in the skits and everything, you could tell they were close. What was the skit? What was your best one from SNL, though?
SPEAKER_02My favorite one from SNL. Oh, God. He was in so many good ones. So he, you know, he he impersonated Bill Clay. He impersonated so many people. Um, but I my favorite one when I was like refreshing my brain on all of Phil's sketches was when he played Jesus with Sally Fields.
SPEAKER_00That was my favorite too, Lindsay. Fist bump right here.
SPEAKER_02Yes, absolutely.
SPEAKER_00By the way, this is a uh Knob Creek bourbon, and it's very good. I like them on the rocks because he got it on sale. Yeah, I got it. I got it on sale, got it on special. You remember when did your parents ever say got it on special?
SPEAKER_02Ever the blue light special at Kmart?
SPEAKER_00I got it on special.
SPEAKER_02Got it on spatial.
SPEAKER_00Let us know if you've ever heard that one before. God, that's a southern thing, right? Is that a southern thing? But anyhow, not probably I love it on the ice because you can have different volumes of flavor palettes in the middle of having your bourbon drink. I love it. I don't know why, but I've just I've discovered, you know, just one of these and I'm good. I I I'm got my little chill, got my little whatever going on, you know, some ice and some different levels of enjoying a good drink. Cheers, everybody. Cheers. Yeah. But yeah. Back to Phil. You can check out all of the organic fucking visceral reactions when Lindsay dumps this on me because I did not know. Why did I know? Well, okay, I do remember Phil Hartman, I do remember his SNL stuff, I do remember the things, but I did not know that this actually happened to him after his Saturday night career. I did not know his S NL career.
SPEAKER_02I didn't know until several years later, like it didn't compute with me.
SPEAKER_00I love Chris Farley's so much. Yeah, and and it's loved him so much.
SPEAKER_02And in Phil's exit episode, um, his farewell episode, like Chris is like snuggling next to him, and literally a year later, they were both gone after that, after that episode. Don't cry.
SPEAKER_00No, because we needed so much more Farley. And Phil. We needed Phil and Farley, man. Oh, it's Phil and it's Farley.
SPEAKER_02I just want I just want Chris to know, Farley to know that I did not end up in a van down by the river. Oh, dude, I just clouded my pile.
SPEAKER_00Because we're gonna move on cloud on all the everything. Look at me.
The Springfield Three Disappear
SPEAKER_02Look at me. So make sure you check out our full episode about Phil Hartman, and we're gonna move on to the Springfield 3. Yeah. So in 1992, a mother of a uh Kickapoo high school student uh was, you know, she was getting ready for her day. She was a cosmetologist.

SPEAKER_02So, Springfield 3. So, Cheryl Levitt is, you know, she's hanging out at home. She's getting her, she's helping her daughter Susie get ready to graduate. And Susie is uh planning to hang out with her friends, Stacey McCall. And uh Janelle, where is Janelle's last name?
SPEAKER_00Uh hold on. I wonder if I joined the lives with you right now. Would it like have this weird echo thing? Let's try it.
SPEAKER_02No, don't do it. Hold on. Let me find Janelle. Okay, Kirby. Janelle Kirby. So Cheryl is mom, Susie, Stacey, and Janelle are all set to hang out.
SPEAKER_00Sorry, I'm going on lives on this night.
SPEAKER_02On this night of graduation from Kickapoo High School. And the original plan was that Susie, Janelle, and Stacy were all gonna get a hotel room and stay the night in Branson. Oh, by the way, we're in Springfield, Missouri.
SPEAKER_00This is Lives on the Lives. Look at this. Isn't this cool? Wait, I'm dark. It's delayed a little bit. Well, it should be. I mean, it had to go to space and back. Elon Musk took a shit on it in between it. But still, like, look at this, dude. I've never done this before. Have you ever done it?
SPEAKER_01Live on live. Live on live live coming to you live on live.
SPEAKER_00Anybody want to join the live on lives? So is that me in my email?
SPEAKER_02Hold on. This is not a laughing situation. This is well. Let me take another drink.
SPEAKER_00Well, we're we're doing drunk, we're drunk about something at the middle of this, Lunchy.
SPEAKER_02Drunk about something.
SPEAKER_00Live on Lives.
SPEAKER_02Raw, uncut, and unedited, and we're vaping.
SPEAKER_00And I pointed it back. Look at me. The delay on here is garbage. I look like garbage on it. No, no.
SPEAKER_02Let me recap this episode.
SPEAKER_00I'm having fun. Shh. Okay, go ahead.
SPEAKER_02Okay. So, anyways, so Janelle, Stacy, and Susie are all supposed to go stay the night in Branson, so they can go to Whitewater Park in Branson. Well, as the night continues, you know, they've graduated, they're having a good time. They're drinking, they're making appearances at parties. And they're like, oh, we don't really want to drive to Branson. So they decide, hey, maybe it'll be a better idea if we stay at Janelle's house. The problem was Janelle's house was full of relatives staying over in honor of Janelle's graduation. So Susie and Stacy decide to go back to Susie's house. Susie is the daughter of Cheryl. And just joined. Look at me. I'm sorry, Lindsay. Quit it. No, I'm not quitting it. No. So um Susie and Stacy go back to Susie's house. Like I said, Cheryl is Susie's mom. Susie has just gotten a brand new king-size waterbed. Make sure you check out the full episode so we can talk to you about waterbeds if you don't know what a waterbed is.
SPEAKER_00You got to, dude. I'm having so much fun right now. This is fucking horrific, though. This is horrific. Go, Lindsay. I'm having fun.
The Morning Clues And Scene Damage
SPEAKER_02Well, they make, you know, so Susie and Stacy tell Janelle, hey, we're gonna call you in the morning and we're going to meet up. I'm gonna call you, we're gonna meet up, and then we're gonna go to the water park. Well, the next morning, Janelle doesn't hear from Stacy nor Susie. They're not answering the phone. And this is not like either one of them. They're both very responsible girls. They always do what they say they're gonna do. So Janelle and her boyfriend come over to Susie's house, which is Cheryl's house, nobody's there. Nobody is answering the door, nobody's answering the phone. So this is 1992, by the way. Back in those days, and even even me with my close friends, uh they just They just come in the house, Mike and Janelle. But first, when they get there, they notice that there's some glass broken on the porch. So Mike, just being a good guy, he cleans that up, not understanding anything. You know, he's just trying to be a good dude. So Mike cleans up the glass. Janelle and Mike enter the house, and the only thing that's there is little Yorkie Cinnamon, who is visibly distressed. And while Janelle's there, there's a couple of phone calls, and she answers them. And there's just some weird creep, like just talking all these creepy sexual induendos, is what it is referred to as in resources that I researched.
SPEAKER_00Which is the number one suspect, but there's a lot more than that.
SPEAKER_02No, no, no, no. We don't know. We don't know who that was. I mean, we don't know because there was no digital footprint back then.
SPEAKER_00No.
SPEAKER_02So Janelle and Mike, because like I said, it was a different time. I do talk about this in the episode. They're like, you know what? Maybe they just went off and did their own thing. They leave and they go to a different water park and hang out and do their thing for the day. Now, Janice McCall, Stacy's mom, she is concerned about her daughter's whereabouts. She can't get a hold of anybody at Cheryl's house. She knows people at the water park that they were supposed to go to. And she's and they're like, Stacy, Susie, nor Cheryl are here. Nobody's here. So Janice goes to Cheryl's house. She sees the visibly distressed puppy, Yorkie dog, Cinnamon.
SPEAKER_00Poor fucking cinnamon knew the whole story.
SPEAKER_02Knew the story, but she can't talk. She can't tell anything. So she sees that it was it was visible that all these girls had gotten ready for bed. Or all these women. They weren't girls. They were all adults. Um, all these women had gotten ready for bed. They had taken off their makeup, they were used makeup wipes, and it looked like one of the beds in the house had been used, had been, you know, slept in or whatever.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, so this is like all in the middle, like four o'clock in the morning, right? In the way in the middle of the night, right?
SPEAKER_02No, so they so they all so Janelle comes over at nine, and then Cheryl comes on later in the day. Or not Cheryl, Janice, excuse me. Janice, Stacy's mom.
SPEAKER_00So as far as all that transpiring is.
SPEAKER_02But yes, so they didn't show up to Cheryl's house. Susie and Stacy did not show up to Cheryl's house until after 2 a.m.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_02So between 2 a.m. and 9 a.m., all three of these women, Cheryl, Susie, and Stacy, go missing. And they, as of 2026, have been missing for 33, almost 34 years.
SPEAKER_00That's a fucking long time of somebody hanging on to something that knows something. That's where my hate came in. I mean, not that I'm hanging on to hate. I don't had to talk about this.
SPEAKER_02Well, there's a lot of creepy shit that was going on. So if you're not, if you didn't grow up in the 90s, you don't understand this, but there was snow, uh, static snow playing on the TV, which means that they were watching a movie, it ended, and then now the static channel is going on. When Janice arrives, which is Stacy's mom, um, she sees that the answering machine, because this is before voicemail, things like that, you had an actual machine to take your messages. When you hit play and you listen to the message, it goes away.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Now Janice had left a message herself, so she thinks it's just her message. But what it was was it was that creep that had been on the phone when Janelle answered, talking nasty, just being disgusting.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02But all of this gets deleted and erased forever. And also, uh Susie was described as a creature of habit. And when she came home, so her and Stacey, they drive separately back to her house. Susie isn't parked in her normal parking spot. So there's another clue. So we've got broken glass on the porch that did get sweeped up and cleaned. We've got a car that's not parked in its normal parking spot. We've got three women's things that are still in the house, things they would have definitely taken with them if they had gone anywhere. Cheryl's purse had$900 in it, her cigarettes that she never left home without. All the girls' clothes are there, overnight bags, all the things. All the things that she would take with you to go anywhere are still at the house.
SPEAKER_00And this crime is just so spontaneous and out of nowhere. They don't have anything to go on.
SPEAKER_02Nothing. And all the crime scene is destroyed because so many people showed up coming in and out of the scene.
SPEAKER_00It's gone. It's destroyed.
SPEAKER_02There's there's nothing.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, they waited a long time before actually calling the police, right?
SPEAKER_02And then it was just Because it was a different time.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02It was a different time.
SPEAKER_00People were just like waiting, and they were like, maybe we'll get a phone call later on. They were supposed to meet us at the water park. It didn't work out. You know, there's so many different variables back then that people could be at a whole different thing and spending their whole day. Maybe they're just waiting, well, let's wait to the end of the day. Maybe they'll come back home. People were in and out, though, in this house, and the the people that are supposed to be there are nowhere to be found.
Suspects Plus A Chilling Claim
SPEAKER_02Well, after three days, uh, the FBI gets involved after these women are missing for three days. Um so they find out that Susie had been dating a guy named Dustin Relka. Now that that relationship was over, but Dustin was a member of a grave robbing gang who had been caught because they got gold teeth off of a dead person.
SPEAKER_00Which was my first projection of somebody actually being accountable, held accountable for this. And it wound up not being them. Yeah, they questioned the whole gang.
SPEAKER_02Blew my mind. They all had alibis. Now, because Susie was gonna testify against her ex-boyfriend, so that could have been some type of uh what do you call it? I can't I can't think of words because I've been drinking. That could have been some kind of motive. There we go. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Uh the words of words.
SPEAKER_02The words have gone out of my brain. Yeah. So that could have been some type of motive for all three of these women to not be here anymore and to not be in be able to be found. But like I said, all of him, him and all of his gang were questioned, they were given lie detector tests, they passed them all. They passed all they had alibis, airtight, all the things. But then they looked into Cheryl's background, and Cheryl was twice divorced. But both of those guys she really hadn't had any contact with. They weren't really a threat to her. But there was a guy who was being investigated for um Yeah, he was doing some shady shit.
SPEAKER_00He was doing yeah, he didn't know.
SPEAKER_02Listen to our full episode because I can't repeat everything on these forums.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, he did like uh reenactments and was doing some crazy shit with uh the females at some of the reenactments, and was was found that that was a uh factual thing, right?
SPEAKER_02And he was looked into, but there was no solid evidence to pin him to these three women's disappearance. So that guy was give me just a second, let me look over.
SPEAKER_00I really feel like this is the dude because it really transpires into something that was Larry Hall.
SPEAKER_02Oh and I have I have added him to my list of cases to research, but then there was Robert Craig Cox. Now in 1997, so these women go dis they disappear in 1992. There's no leads, there's no nothing. And in 1997, Robert Craig Cox, who had committed crimes of his own, um, he decides he's going to publicly say that these women have been murdered and their bodies would never be recovered.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, the trigger on that whole conversation that we had in that podcast was just he knows things that weren't publicly projected yet. That's the thing. You listened and you absorbed. Thank you. Yeah, and then he wants to hang on to it, and he's like, I'm not saying shit until my mom dies. Fuck that.
SPEAKER_02And she's not yet passed because we don't know anything more about this case thus far.
SPEAKER_00So garbage. So we got two people possibly still floating around, but I think it's I think it's one. I think it's, you know, I think he really knows the fucking deal, dude. He he either knows or was part of it, right? I mean, we I don't know.

So if you're new to us, so what we do is every Friday we release a new episode of a case that I have researched and structurized into a story that I dump onto Jesse. I'm so sorry. Uh he's roped into this.
SPEAKER_00You can't apologize enough.
SPEAKER_02Uh I really can't. So we talk about a true crime case. We have some drinks. That's why we are called Drink About Something. It is basically because we're drinking while we talk about something. Yeah. Um, and he doesn't know anything about these cases. This is all raw, organic reactions from him because he literally doesn't know. It's not an act, it's not a bit. He does not know. And then at the end of the episode, Jesse will plug a band that he has either sought out or they sought him out. So we have permission to play.
SPEAKER_00Think about the last two bands. What do you think about them? I love them. Last two groups.
SPEAKER_02Love them.
SPEAKER_00Is it cool?
SPEAKER_02Out of pocket. But like I said, we are we we gravitate towards the heavier genre, but we love all genres. So we are seeking all genres to let us share their music and their talent.
SPEAKER_00I don't feel like it's out of pocket, like as far as our cool bands, send them to us, right? We've been we've been on 80s love ballads for like the last two weeks. Yeah, we have Cindy Lauper Radio.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, so last week on the way to Orlando, we just did an 80s love ballad pet playlist. And then today I was like, Jesse, we had to go to Gainesville down the road from us. We had to do some errands, and I was like, Jesse, what's the theme today? And he's like, Cindy Lauper Radio. Literally the same songs as the 80s love ballads.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, get it together, Spotify. We want, I mean, we loved it, but at the same time, we heard the same shit.
