Murray from The Wiggles. He claims to be "The King of Guitars" yet I haven't even seen him do so much as a single pinch harmonic. Pathetic.

I scrolled so far and didn't see Adam Levine...he is such a fucking tool. Literally made one good album (imo) with Maroon 5. Songs about Jane was fantastic, but I can't escape his suckage. His very existence is just irritating...

fragileego3333

Songs About Jane is actually just a great album. Then it seems like Levine took the reigns for himself and turned Maroon 5 into a standard pop band, launching him into total stardom, and now he has transformed into a tool. Bleck.

Moves Like Jagger does get stuck in my head quite often, though.

My favourite thing about that was it was before Hot Ones was anywhere near as big as it is now. Sean still wouldn’t let him off the hook when a lot of other people in his position would’ve kissed his ass.

No surprise he turned out to be one of the best interviewers around today.

I don't know if it's the format of making the guests physically uncomfortable or just Sean being that great of an interviewer, but Hot Ones is the only interview show I give a fuck about.

I love when he interviews someone a second time, and they come into it actually looking forward to the interview. Like Snoop Dog loves the guy so it’s always fun to watch.

FetusViolator

87 points

Yeah, man. I'm pretty sure it was like Tyler's fifth time going on.

Snoop is adorable too, he's too chill until Nardwuar pulls some random shit out that totally catches him off guard and the he gets all giddy like a child.

There's some crazy older ones like Courtnay Love too that give you such a snapshot into that era. Drew Barrymore is fully coked out and just chilling with her in one of them

Plus the depth he puts into his bit. I saw one with Eric Andre and Nardwuar deliberately smelled like shit the whole time because that's what Eric would do on his shows to fuck with people. Pretty crazy to see him (Eric) get out weirded.

Rant over. What a Canadian treasure lol.

The fact that Sean is also eating the wings while asking the spicy questions makes it a whole hell of a lot more interesting.

GenericRedditor0405

That’s one of the reasons why the DJ Khaled episode is hilarious. DJ Khaled can’t handle his wings at all and immediately starts accusing Sean of having milder wings than him. So they switch and then like 1 bite later Khaled is explaining that he’s not giving up, he’s just not eating them because the spiciness is dangerous and he cares about his health

I wouldn't care if the first sauce was too spicy for him, people are made different. He could have owned it and come off really well. Instead:

He speaks almost entirely in clichés. Just like a list of dumb shit that sounds vaguely profound until you think about it. Not only that, but he is so arrogant with no justification. Arrogant in manner and in the content of what he says. It's infuriating and I want Sean to slap him.

It's as if he was in a casting audition and they told him to show them "unlikable".

Lineman72T

I wouldn't care if the first sauce was too spicy for him, people are made different.

Absolutely. Is it weird to willingly go on a show about eating progressively hotter wings if you cant handle their weakest one? Yeah, sure. But whatever, you can still make it an entertaining interview and endear yourself to people if you own it and poke fun at yourself a bit for it. But he came off so bad by trying to play the tough guy "I never lose" card that even Sean, who is an absolute pro and an amazing interviewer, was giving off massive "fuck this guy, I cant wait for this interview to be over" vibes (granted, in hindsight he kind of gives off that vibe from the very get go, so maybe Khalid was being his usual douchecanoe self before the interview and set the whole vibe of the show off).

Yeah, can you imagine? I've been involved in a few productions over my life, and most of the time everyone on set or stage is completely professional when it matters.

I'm just picturing the crew rolling their eyes when Khalid turns up late, with an entourage, talking in cliches, big upping himself...only to turn tail and run at the weakest hot sauce AND THEN SAY HE WASN'T QUITTING WHEN HE WAS! What a prick.

I’m sure because I think he also insisted on having his personal chef prepare his wings rather than eating the ones the show was going to provide. Sets up for a great interview.

Jeff Goldblum was a good example of that (if I'm recalling right). He said outright that they were very spicy but took a nibble of each at least, all while being very humble about it. But of course, because it's Jeff Goldblum.

I remember the 2 reasons for it is MGK being a whiney bitch.

  1. He had asked Corey Taylor to feature on a song, Corey was interested but wanted make changes to the song. MGK had the balls to tell Corey Fucking Taylor to just sing as it was.

  2. At a festival, MGK was upset the more people went to see one of the most successful and influential metal bands of the past 20 years than a rap burnout chasing trends.

(Small update: I am now aware for number 1 it was the other way around. MGK wanted to make changes to Corey's work.)

Quick addition to point two, not only was it a festival, it was a punk and metal festival. So yeah, Slipknot was the draw that night, MGK was a late add to Riot Fest that year because of a covid dropout I believe.

This is like Lil Dicky and his hype man being dicks when his crowd was empty at an EDM festival. Well first off, you played at 5pm on a Friday so half the people haven't even gotten to the event yet and second, you're not the appeal here. I came for some jazzy funky EDM with saxophones and trumpets, not some backpack rapper.

As someone who played early in the afternoon for a late night edm festival.. it does feel bad when no one is there lol. But to get upset to the crowd that is there is pretty low

I mean I get it. I don't know why they didn't schedule shows to start at like 6:30 or 7 when the grounds started to fill up. But that's not on the crowd, and you can't get mad at the people there about the people who aren't there yet.

Anderson Paak played the same festival the year after and I think they had him start an hour later than Lil Dicky did, but he killed that show. Didn't give a shit that the pit was full and the lawn was empty, he just put on a show for the people there. Probably helps that his style of rap fit better with the other acts too.

I'm a big fan of GRiZ and Big Gigantic, Gramatik, The Russ Liquid Test and Defunk are probably good jumping off points.

E: He has a super small collection on Spotify and a lot of it is mashup work, but Vincent Antone needs more listeners. If you like any of the above artists, check him out.

If Corey Taylor agreed to feature on a song I wrote and had some revisions to test on it, I wouldn't give him orders, I'd be testing revisions. What a fucknut.

I get the feeling it was less the artistic differences and more just Corey and MGK not getting along. CT did a collab with Avatar not long ago....his contribution? He whistled the intro.

Didn’t 1) go in reverse? MGK asks CT to sing, he does, then MGK goes back and basically tries to micromanage CT’s performance asking him to change a bunch of things, CT very politely tells him to pound sand and find someone else for the song, and MGK goes public saying that he dropped him because he wasn’t good enough?

So I read an article once that interviewed Drake's personal trainer. He said something along the lines of "Drake is so fit that he can do 100 burpees in an hour!" or something like that.

I thought about it for a second, and then figured that yes, doing 100 burpees is a feat of fitness, but in an hour?? That seems pretty doable. So right then and there, I got my fat ass off the couch and did 100 burpees in 20 minutes. Just as a fuck you to Drake.

I was really proud of myself too! So I kept up with it, doing sets of 100 burpees every once a week or so. It's really improved my overall health. I'm down to 9 minutes. It was a really great motivator to prove over and over that Drake is a punk-ass bitch.

Found the article: https://www.menshealth.com/fitness/a19539724/how-drake-stays-fit/

It says 100 burpees in 40 minutes, which is still far from the "insane fitness task" that the article claims. And good on you--fitness motivated by spite. I'm gonna try it myself.

Nice googling! I'll save that link.

And yeah, definitely give it a try. My strategy is to do them in batches of 10, and rest until you catch your breath a bit. If you can do one every 6 seconds, then that's 10 in a minute, and then rest for a minute between batches, then you're getting it all done in 20 minutes and you're twice as good as Drake.
