American Idol is an institution at this point. 24 years in and Zach has never seen an episode. We talk brief about the premise and the dive into the judges. The three legendary performers that act as judges and mentors. Grammy award winning artists Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, and the legendary Lionel Richie. We exchanged 10 songs each and tried to really listen to the words and the song writing as well as talk the history of the songs. Lionel Richie is one of the greatest American songwriters of all time. Lionel Richie is about to go on tour as well. Carrie Underwood who won American Idol is one of the highest selling country music artists of all time. Luke Bryan may be the reason for frat boy country. Who has the best written songs? Lionel Richie arguably has some of the greatest songs of all time! Also the return of Buford!!!

Directed by Todd Phillips and co written by Bradley University alum, Scot Armstrong. The movie that gave us Earmuffs, you’re my boy Blue, and once it hits your lips! This is one of the funniest movies in the last 25 years and still holds up. Jeremy Piven before he was on Entourage, and Todd Phillips before The Hangover.
