Jack BlumeGUEST
9:12
When, when I first came across Pentatonix very early on in their, their time on the internet, um, I saw...
Jack BlumeGUEST
9:19
I think the first video I saw of theirs was, uh, a song called We Are Young by Fun.
Jack BlumeGUEST
9:25
Very early on.
Jack BlumeGUEST
9:26
And they were sat around one microphone like this, the five of them on a sofa around one microphone, and I just-- It really took me working my ears to pinpoint some of the, uh...

19:37

Today, we're going to tell the story of Fueled by Ramen, a record label that started with absolutely no money, that grew into being one of the most influential record labels of our generation.
speaker_3HOST
1:08

speaker_3HOST
1:14

speaker_3HOST
1:19
It was started by an 18-year-old that is now the head of Interscope Records.
speaker_3HOST
1:27

speaker_3HOST
1:29

JoeHOST
1:36
so just to give context to this episode instead of going through all the releases because obviously Fuelbar Armin has been going for a long time now they've put out a lot of a lot of albums signed a lot of bands to just make it a bit more concise cherry pick kind of the big moments we've got stories from Paramore Fall Out Boy Twenty One Pilots Fun and Jimmy Eat World Jimmy Eat World we'll get onto in a second but That's going to be kind of the trajectory of the episode.
JoeHOST
