KIDZ BOP

Like a lot of their stuff, obviously there's a lot of controversy around, oh, they're young, but they talk about food and prete- like, but it's actually body parts and stuff.

But ultimately, a lo- I just hear like Kidz Bop.

[laughs]

[laughs]

We've talked a lot about the successes you've had, but one of the ones that I thought was the coolest thing ever, because I was going through a lot of your social media.

And dude, you had a song covered by Kidz Bop.

Yeah.

Crazy, right? That's sick.

Okay.

So in Nashville, there's a venue called the Ryman.

And all of a sudden I got a text going, you've just been Kidz Bopped.

And I said, what? And I looked and I literally got kids bopped.

Of course

... who for a living now hitting on this white girl, and the fact that, I mean, I don't know if they'd get away with that now a- and still be, not that they were family friendly, but still like, you know, there's still a Kidz Bop version, not of My Humps, but of some of this stuff.

Um-

Okay, good.

Yeah

... and that's a whole weird...

I'd like to come back and do Kidz Bop at some point with you.

But um-

It sounds like a heavy burden to bear, Patrick Lepick.

Do you know what Kidz Bop

is?

I do know what Kidz Bop is, yes.

Okay, that's unfortunate.

What is the most incongruous Kidz Bop you have ever listened to?

Like anytime it dips into like... hip hop adjacent.

And it's like, it really has got to stretch like the lyrics, you know, like really we're doing some real, you know, rewriting a Olivia Rodrigo song and like dropping out the F bombs is not that tough, but right.

Nebraska forced too many three and outs, and people weren't happy about it.

We did, we did get two callers from children in the first segment, and then I called it a Kidz Bop show.

And then none of the callers were children anymore.

Okay.

You just, I'm like ADD and all aspects of my life, including my music case.

And then the following week, you're listening to Kidz Bop or something, you know?

Yeah, K-pop Demon Hunters, love that too.

You just never know what you're going to get with me.

I, I'm going to give a reserved shout-out to kids' music if it's music by children specifically for, like, the people they know.

I, I will not give a shout-out to ki- music for children because Kidz Bop-

Oh, wow

... is a personal hell.

Wow

WowI, you, you gotta stop, you gotta stop doing the Kidz Bop, man.

I'm telling you, you should listen to the original albums

It just, like, comes on sometimes [laughs]
