BUG'S SONG
Matt's challenge: Stone. Cold. Diss. Track.
Title: Dissin' All My Listeners
Lyrics:
Look at you, bet you’re thinking that you’re all that
“lately I’ve been really into indie rock and podcasts”
Chronically online, paying top dollar for broadband
people show you memes, you’re thinkin “I already saw that”
Cool headphones! You’re right to keep it quiet
cuz if I had your music taste I’d also try to hide it
The crew is in the car, nows your chance to make it awkward
the nights already over when its your turn for the Aux Chord
I tried to warn you but I’m done with taking prisoners
You’re in my target demo and I’m dissin’ all my listeners
Hey cool tune, how’d you find it, kid?
Did you pop into a record shop and dig for it?
oh you let an algorithm make a playlist? cool
you and every other zoomer in your local middle school
and hey maybe they’re a talent and they kill it live
oh, their show has the production of an open mic?
we paid 25 bucks and you had to drag me, too
to sit criss-cross and listen in a living room?
Its not hard but I’ll try to make it simpler
you’re in my target demo and I’m dissin all my listeners
I hear you thinking that I’m comin off a bit harsh
a little bit ungrateful to the one that got me this far
should I apologize to all my audience or double down?
this wouldn’t be a diss if I didn’t try to pop your bubble now
You’re terrible! (at making me feel like I’m alone)
You’re Awful! (cuz you drained your data playin’ me on your phone)
You the worst at being critical when feedback’s all I want
You’re mean (I mean you mean the world to me so thanks a lot)
You needed me to knock you off your silly little perch
you spend too damn much on my silly indie merch
You’re enabling a dream, its irresponsible
a grown ass man thinks that anything is possible??
call a cease fire, its all for show
cuz I play until I win like this is rochambeau
and I’m a rocker and your peace sign looks exactly like scissors you’re
gonna get crushed cuz I’m dissin all my listeners

MATT'S SONG
Bug's Challenge: You see that guy in the corner? He seems like a... Lion
Title: We're all Enemies Here
Lyrics:
hey welcome
settle in
i won't ask how you found the place
we were are all blown here by different winds
don't give me your name
don't give me your story
i've seen your face already
that's all that's important
pull up a chair
i'll pour you a drink
and i'll keep my eyes on the door
that's what i do here
i watch your back so you don't have to for a while
don't give me your card
don't give me your money
i've seen your face already
that's all that's important
see that guy in the corner
looks like a lion
he fights for a living
and he fights like he's dying
you wanna have bad time tonight
trying sneaking up behind him
he took a dislike to a friend of mine, now i don't even recognise him
you see that girl over there
no, you didn't
and if anyone ever comes asking
bout a friend or daughter missing
you just shake your head
and send them over my way
i'll make sure that nobody ever comes here asking round again
don't give me that look
like you're your own man
i've seen your face already
that's all that's important
don't get any ideas
we're all enemies here

Bug with the mid-career heel turn 😂 no one was ready

[@GenericSweetener]

I almost fell over listening to Bug’s song, but I’ll have you know that my taste in indie rock and podcasts is second to none! I was just listening to this new podcast by Insect Locator and The Egomaniac’s Instruction Manual, I bet you haven’t even heard of it!

[@DeepBlueInk]

I can't wait to see who Bug's song's about! >:o

[@JamMechanics]

you say you're a fan? that's what YOU think you probably only found us cuz of DeepBlueInk 🤯

[@DeepBlueInk]

@@JamMechanics My name's DeepBlue and I'm here to say I'm gonna beat your rap in a major way

[@papabughunter1624]

DEEPBLUEthrowingthestINK!

[@fork3810]

I felt so called out at the lyric about spending too much money on Bug’s merch 😭😭 This might be my favorite episode of the podcast yet. Y’all are magic.

[@12tindam]

Ouch Bug, I feel attacked 😂

[@ToraPaint]

My little bundle of joy every week. I'm always so impresed by what both of you can accomplish, and in such a short time too!! Thank you for this!❤

[@irisavontoc1068]

What an amazing start to my birthday!! Im so excited just started the episode ❤

[@tinyq555]

[@toofewtrueblue5818]

LMAOOO bug called us out! I'm laughing my ass off omg the aux cord line was too real. I put dear mccracken on the aux once and my friend was like "You find the most interesting songs" as if its not a masterpiece. You're wrong about the live shows though that was the best concert I've ever been too, yall DO kill it live

[@JamMechanics]

lol I love that

[@irisavontoc1068]

Just finished my 4th listen through, I am obsessed with both songs!! You are both so amazing, I cannot get enough of this. I really hope at the end of season one you guys do an album (whether on KZbin or Bandcamp) if all the songs you wrote for this.

[@valeriepickard3765]

Once again Bug gets away with not answering an icebreaker question… hmm!

[@JamMechanics]

👀

[@papabughunter1624]

This is such a treat. So impressive!

[@codireudter3029]

If anyone has seen the anime Buddy Daddies, Matt's song had me transported to the meeting place. I was for a few minutes a bad ass assassin, not looking at the girl I don't see who just so happens to be my mark. Loved the vibes it created!!!! Bug could possibly be the next Eminem 😂😂😂 But for real, I loved this bad ass Bug Rap and I 100% wouldn't be mad to end up in a living room criss cross apple sauce to be dissed ❤ Killed it as always guys!

[@jonnyspade]

This is really cool. I feel like I understand other peoples writing styles a lot more because of these podcasts. I’ve been writing quite a bit lately and it’s nice to watch the process you guys go through.

[@I_Like_Ike53]

Bug concert in fortnite next?
