[Palladio]

Yeah. The one is in Lithuania.

[John Holberg]

[Palladio]

So we can't do them, but they're good. Let's start with the number seven is Rattlesnake Suitcase. Loving Free.

[John Holberg]

Not terrible.

[Palladio]

Like them a lot. They were part of this a couple years ago. They're fun lives. That's Love A Free from Rattle Cake Soup. Rattlesnake Soup. Veins of Aether, which I actually like quite a bit. Those guys. That one was kind of a fun one. That was surprising. It's called Siren, had that big intro that was a big problem with it. But it gets going pretty good.

[Unknown Male 2]

We drift on broken waves Here I'm.

[Brett Vesely]

Alone.

[Unknown Male 2]

You were my cell in the world now you' But I try to find a way to turn the tide.

[Unknown Male 2]

Sorry that she ever let it get this far, but we got to know if you're still in now. Are you still in?

[Palladio]

That's got a great groove. I like that a lot. Stone Cold Killer from the Thomas James Band coming at, like, third or fourth. Wherever we're at. Suffocate from Graves of the Monuments. We've got a good group already. If tomorrow sucks, we're good.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[Palladio]

And it probably will.

[Brett Vesely]

It always does. The second day.

[Palladio]

Isn't it weird that, like, really good bands submitted 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

[John Holberg]

Yeah, but they were, like, all in a row.

[Palladio]

And of course, one star night. Piss Ball Pete.

[Unknown Male 2]

Let me tell you a story. A man named Piss Ball Pete, his dick so small, he pissed on his ball.

[Palladio]

Heard it a couple of times. Tied for first was Witness Protection. We just played fantastic song. Really like this song. And you played it for Larry already? Yeah. And he's like, oh, yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

He was digging it.

[Palladio]

Hang on to this. There's so many people. I don't have it. And normally I have a really good Red Flag or something's wrong vibe. A lot of people talking, AI, they're trying to recognize it. And people I respect musically that are listening.

[Unknown Male 2]

Breath of Poison in the Air.

[Palladio]

Brett's gonna put that up on our Facebook page. We have a massive amount of requests for people who wanted that. And another one that was just Fantastic. But fortunately, these guys can't make it because they're not even in the country right now. This is Reckless Eden. Skeletons. And this is another absolutely great.

[Unknown Female]

There's a secret buried deep inside Locked away Where no one can find pain A smile we wear the mask so well behind this hood It's a living hell There you go.

[Palladio]

All right. That was our Palladio top seven so far with a few ties in there. I got no complaints if any of the five of those bands show up at the tomorrow night Copper Blues downtown to do our live battle with the bands playing. And that's the thing. People are like, well, it's a great song, but if they can't play it live, then what does it matter? And that's why we do the live show tomorrow night. It's a thing. Yeah, let's get the heck out of here. That's how. I'm not gonna entertain anybody. You want to do the entertainment drill real quick? You got anything good?

[Unknown Male 1]

Sure.

[Palladio]

All right, go.

[Unknown Male 1]

Three movies.

[Palladio]

[John Holberg]

React defense dot com.

[Palladio]

The home of tactical Black Brady.

[Unknown Male 1]

Go. The three movies Eddie Murphy regrets turning down.

[Palladio]

I know. One of them is Roger Rabbit.

[Unknown Male 1]

Yep.

[Palladio]

Because he was supposed to be in that. He was also supposed to be in Ghostbusters.

[Unknown Male 1]

Ghostbusters and Rush Hour.

[Palladio]

Rush Hour. It's a big hit. But Chris Tucker pulled that one. He was. Yeah, Chris Tucker. That's Chris Tucker's movie.

[Unknown Male 1]

He chose Beverly Hills Cop instead of Ghostbusters. He did all right on that Roger Rabbit. When he saw the script, he thought, this is crazy. Then after he saw it, effing amazing.

[Palladio]

Brilliant.

[Unknown Male 1]

That's what. Yeah. Ray Romano took the couch where Everybody Loves Raymond, wrapped up when it ended, and now they're getting it back for tonight's 30th anniversary show.

[Palladio]

What?

[Unknown Male 1]

Took it out of his home?

[Palladio]

No, no. It's the 30th anniversary of everybody Loves Raymond.

[John Holberg]

What?

[Palladio]

Oh, Robert. Robert, we're old. I don't know. I don't like this.

[Unknown Male 1]

Macaulay Culkin once did a stunt on the Tonight show where he let the public vote on a new middle name form. They went with Macaulay Culkin. So his legal name is now Macaulay. Macaulay Culkin. Culkin.

[Palladio]

I like it. They just gave him his name back. That's solid.

[Unknown Male 1]

And then Levy, Lenny Kravitz. In Australia at a concert in Australia. In Australia.

[Palladio]

That's right.

[Unknown Male 1]

When he was doing Let Love Rule. That's when he goes into the audience.

[Palladio]

Yeah.

[Unknown Male 1]

Lady ripped out for the dreads of his hair. Yeah. While he's getting body surfing through the show.

[Palladio]

Just wanted to make sure it was.

[Dick Tolitto]

You think the carpet matches the drape?

[Palladio]

I don't know.

[Unknown Male 1]

I hope so.

[Palladio]

If he dreads his pee pee.

[Unknown Male 1]

If I could, it's not gonna stop me. This is our moment. I'll keep. Keep doing it.

[John Holberg]

Yeah.

[Palladio]

Just tearing out some dreads. He'll grow more. That's it for us, Palladio. Day one. Brett, you're downer.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah. First 13 were all right.

[Unknown Male 1]

So it's a great day. It's a great day.

[Palladio]

Yeah, it was a great day, too. It was really good. Thanks to everybody who participated, even the people who didn't. And again, if you didn't and you heard what we have in our top five, you should know that you didn't fit in for a reason. The difference between our top five and people who didn't make it. Drastic.

[Unknown Male 1]

Drastic.

[Palladio]

Come on.

[Unknown Male 1]

Got a 2 accumulation.

[Palladio]

Yeah, I scored a 2 out of the 3 of us. Pretty good work. That's it. Larry's coming up next with stuff that's kind of established. So we're all right. Tomorrow we play the last 18, 19 songs. Whatever is left. 20, I don't know. Who knows? We throw those in there and we make sure we've got five. I think we're going to be okay, but we'll. Maybe we get a couple more in there tomorrow and knock our socks off again. We'll see. Chances are slim. I think we knocked it out today, but that's a good thing. Larry's next. Have yourselves a great Monday and we'll see you tomorrow.
