TOO MANY GREAT SONGS!!! Blind reaction to VoicePlay - Boy Bands In 5 Minutes

Love these guys so much!
They looked like they had a blast making this and they sound amazing as always!
Speaking of how things sound, I'm sorry if my mic audio is a bit off in this video. Still very new to filming and I attempted to use a NoiceGate which has caused some issues!
Mic quality will be fixed moving forward :D

Now i remember how i kept in shape when i was young these songs just make you want to move and dance

Their queen in 5 minutes has an entire story around Earl they incorporate the clever medley around. They have so many good pieces, especially with full costumes and characters, but... their masterpiece is an acapella cover of Metallica's Nothing else matters

One thing that floors me about Eli is his ability to spit out the Korean lyrics in the BTS section.

[@dj_410]

I wasn't sure on my 1st watch so I didn't mention it but when I went back for watches 2-10 I was floored by this! Such tallent

[@katthor7311]

Eli lived in Japan for a while and speaks Japanese. I know it's different from Korean, but he has a base knowledge in the Asian style languages.

[@Gael4ce]

So that explains it…I never could figure out why I couldn’t understand him in that section.

[@Jennymit21]

Thank you so so so much for giving Rek credit and acknowledging him. He was an amazing loving wonderful and incredibly talented person

[@KaaSerpent]

The description I've heard of Earl's voice is that it's like a laser beam. It just cuts through everything.

[@SweetCuttlefish-AshleyE]

I love the spectrum of dancing skill, from J None (just join a boy band already) to Layne (peak Dad dancing 🤣).

[@dj_410]

I know it's so good!!! The fancy tiktok style dance J.none does during the last yeah yeah yeah of best song ever was so smooth hahaha

[@EG-cm5th]

I love how Geoff’s dancing gives off “I’ve done this sort of thing a lot but I’m not used to doing it for a camera instead of a live audience” vibes. Like, he’s actually (in my opinion) the second-best dancer in this video (all of them killed it, but like you said there’s definitely different nuances in their movements that show as certain vibes of dancing) and you can really tell he knows how to perform in a musical dance number. It makes me wonder what the various other guys’ dancing experience is, because I know Geoff has done various performances for Disney and Universal Studios, and I know Eli was in some bands and such (which, again, shows up in his dancing-he’s a good dancer, but it doesn’t feel quite as much like musical theatre as it does like a band performance; less acting as a character and more feeling interactive with the audience and camera, like he’s throwing his dancing at you. I kinda feel like he sings that way too, tbh. It’s pretty interesting) And then like you said, there’s Layne. Who is definitely doing Dad dancing. Doing a great job with the choreography, but not quite giving off the “I do this kind of thing every day” vibes that Geoff, J. None, and Eli have. (I’m not really sure what vibes Earl is giving here? Any thoughts? Every time I watch this I end up telling myself I’ll watch a different one of them that time and then I inevitably get drawn in by Geoff and J. None and sometimes Layne lol)

[@carolfranklin]

This is just sheer joy. They make the dancing fun but it's pretty accurate. Geoff used to say people expected him & Earl to be the other way round vocally from their look. If you want to hear Eli rap go back to their cover of My Shot from forever ago, you'll get to see Tony too. Layne also has a beautiful light singing voice on top of the drumming. This one is full of cameos as well as Rek, you've also got Ashley (Eli's wife), Cyndi (Layne's wife), Kathy (Geoff's wife) & Nick (Earl's husband).

[@dj_410]

Love that all their partners were in there thats so sweet 🥰 These boys are just pure sunshine and I love them :D

[@UnholyTrans]

make sure you watch Trapped before you do panic in four minutes. The end of Trapped is the beginning of Panic.

[@laurab5750]

The bubble gum at about 16:15 was actually a The Lady and The Tramp homage.

[@rylanmalis1162]

Rough rule of thumb, you can tell which ones are older by the length of Geoff's hair. The older the video, the shorter his hair.

[@katthor7311]

One thing you will notice is that all of our boys have incredible ranges. Eli will sometimes sing bass for Geoff live if he's occupied with the melody. The person with the greatest range is actually Layne. He says himself it doesn't necessarily sound the prettiest, but he can go really high and technically lower than Geoff using special techniques. For some more subtle rapping from Eli, and honestly one of my favorite videos because I love the concept, you should check out one (out of two) collabs they did with Kurt Hugo Schneider, this one being their Twenty One Pilots Mashup. When you watch the Panic videos, people often suggest to watch their Billie Eilish in 3 minutes first. It was filmed after Panic parts I and II, but the video is a prequel to the Panic videos. It tells a full story, with a lot of people going with the theory that their Queen in 5 minutes is the finale. Of course, watch whatever you want in any order you want, just thought I'd put that out there. Also, never feel bad for just vibing with VoicePlay. 😁

[@rulab]

The guy that says "You should see the size of his wallet" is actually Earl's boyfriend at the time (now husband). Earl left in 2020 near the beginning of the pandemic. J.None is now in the Navy but comes back sometimes for collabs. He was in Friends on the Other Side and Nothing Else Matters... Love watching you vibe with our boys! 💗

[@dj_410]

Aww thats so cute that all their partners got a cameo! Friends on the other side has been added to my list and nothing else matters is coming super soon! Thanks so much for watching!

[@DnDAddictUK]

Welcome to VP with Earl. He has the high voice of an angel. You need to watch some more of the older videos with Earl to get a true understanding on how much we love him. J is amazing and I really hope that when he is finished in the Navy he comes back to VP full time. I love this medley so much. It is such a clever collection of songs.

[@DnDAddictUK]

Can I also add, if you are a Critter you need to see the short of them doing "Your Turn to Roll" this got me back into DnD after such a long time. So much so that I binged all 1500+ hours of critical role in 6 months following the release of the short.

[@dj_410]

Wow! I'll definitely need to check it out! Might do a short bonus reaction to it to celebrate hitting 1000 subs when it happens :D

[@JvWet]

Thanks for your adorable reaction! So besides the cameo of rek, around 7.00 the wives of Geoff, Layne and Elie, and the husband of Earl make an appearance! Their Daddy Sang Bass is fantastic as it pitches Geoff's low voice against Earl's high voice (and have their families in the video!), and Earl's high voice has a starring role in Queen in Five Minutes! And as before your facial expressions, and this time your dance moves make this a real treat! Thanks

[@dj_410]

Aww thank you for your sweet comment! It's so lovely they all had there partners in there and I can't wait to check out Their Daddy Sang Base to see their families! Thanks so much for your suggestions!

[@bjspeck4337]

That makes sense that the women would be there too. I knew about Earl's husband from Queen in 5.

[@ilonadever8249]

First, Earl was a founding member with Geoff and Layne (1997). He left in early 2020 for undisclosed personal reasons. Second, when they were touring, they included Boy Bands in the program. There are poor quality videos of them live as far back as 10 years. Not always the same lineup of songs, but always entertaining! Third, the group in the line "You should see the size of his wallet" are Eli, Layne, and Geoff's wives and Earl's husband. I am an old lady, so didn't know most of these songs. Didn't matter because Voiceplay could sing the phone book and it would be wonderful!! If you are at the patron level where you can see the Behind The Scenes videos, check out Dragonborn Comes. Geoff and Cesar are dancing quite a bit between takes. Funniest thing I've ever seen!

[@dj_410]

I will definitely check it out :D they are so so much fun! Their music is amazing but it's impossible to not love them as people aswell!

[@CynicalTesuji]

Your reaction is a delight! And I can't wait to see your reaction to Panic! In Four Minutes. BUT- if you want to do it right, before you watch that, watch Trapped: Billie Eilish in 3 Minutes. The videos of Billie Eilish in 3 Minutes and the 2 Panic! videos tell a story. Panic! Parts 1 and 2 were filmed first, but a little over a year later Geoff arranged the Billie Eilish mashup (it's not a conventional medley; it really is closer to a mashup) and conceived the video as a prequel to the Panic! videos. The attention to detail- clothing, hair styles, date on the iPhone- is immaculate.

[@dj_410]

I can't wait to check it out!!! Thanks so much!!!

[@mamiemartinson4649]

Their variety of songs they do means there is something for everyone's JOY BUTTON.

[@loritempleman2951]

So glad you caught a lot of the humor in this one! I think you are the first reactor I've seen that commented on Laine dramatically pulling the dickey off--I think it is hilarious! I agree that they have developed more musically since this video, but I also think one of the reasons they kept things a bit simpler is that they were packing in a LOT of songs that had to be immediately recognizable in a few seconds.

[@dj_410]

Thats very very true! And they managed to do it while staying true to the style of the original songs

[@ronsbrat525]

As they say... Actions speak louder than words. And you're actions spoke volumes. Awesome reaction. As far as the panic videos... Watch "Trapped" first . Then the panic videos together. Says 4 minutes but it's for both total. Then round up with "Queen In 5 Minutes". Then you'll have the whole story in order. Try to react to them as close together as you can as well. Another one kinda similar to this set is "Mission Jingle Bells". Filmed in 2019 and won the award for Best Shorts Video of The Year. Who ever thought you could sing jingle bells to the mission impossible theme? Voiceplay. They seemed to like getting kidnapped back then.

[@dj_410]

Haha awesome! I had been told about billie and panic but I didn't know queen was part of it to so ill definitely check it out and will prob film all 4 together and release them one after another

[@ronsbrat525]

@@dj_410 Cool. Found out directly from Geoff about Queen being the end of the story. I didn't know until then. You'll understand why they did that when you watch them. Geoff also said one time "hey. Cesar's never been kidnapped. Well have to fix that." And when J None was on leave from the US Navy Band in December to do Nothing Else Matters they were joking around about kidnapping him from the navy. As far as I and alot of other reactors don't consider him a former member. He is just on hiatus. And has hinted about coming back in 3 years after he gets done his time. There are several videos of J on my playlist. One with the navy. The other is Christmas. The first leave he had not long after Cesar joined he came back and they did "Friends On The Other Side". J of course was Dr Facilier.

[@TennesseeTwinsReact]

Been a fan of VoicePlay and Home Free for over a year. Even got VoicePlay and Home Free tattoos. More than half of my tattoos are music related. Earl has an amazing voice. Another amazing guy that has collabed with VoicePlay is DeeJay Young. "Bang!", "Butter", "You're My Best Friend ", "Man In The Mirror", "Christmas Don't Be Late", and "In My Room". His falsetto voice and the runs. I melt every time.

[@christinestromberg4057]

VoicePlay always have a blast making their videos. Yousee two former members here, Earl Elkins Jnr who left in 2020 for unspecified personal reasons, and J.None who left in 2021 I think having been approached by the US Navy to sing for them. Earl was an original member with Geoff and Layne, having known them since middle school. Geoff describes Earl's voice as a laser beam and talkd of Earl's world, which Geoff never enters. :) Fans really both of them but we don't see J.None from time to time as he joins in when on leave from his duties with the navy. They did have some problems learning the choreography, bit of dad dancing going on at times, but so much fun. You're beginning to see why we love these guys so much. They are adorable. I'm sure people will be reminding you that Eli is pronounced like Ellie, it's short for Eliezer. :)

[@dj_410]

Earl's voice is really something else and shocked me like crazy haha but they are all fantastic and I'm so obsessed with them now haha

[@m.robinson97]

J None is also in Superstition which is absolutely phenomenal, and Omar Cardona jr is featured, Omar was actually on The Voice and was in the top 5. Check that out it’s an original by Stevie Wonder, but VoicePlay made it super good! Also Tennessee Whiskey is soooo good.

[@dj_410]

Will definitely add these 2 to my list! :D thanks so much!

[@Debs_Badger]

The boys met Kristin Denehy when they competed on The Sing Off in 2013. She's an amazing choreographer (and dancer!). Home Free uses her a lot for their video and show choreography as well (they met her at the same time as VP). This video was a labor of love by VoicePlay for their patrons. When they hit a specific patron milestone (back in 2018), the special perk for hitting the milestone was to allow the patrons to select what song they would do. Well...they picked Boy Band Medley, and the guys went ALL OUT. 😁

[@BonnieKaupp]

You have just touched the tip of the iceberg. There is sooo much more to experience with VoicePlay. They can do everything! Great reaction!

[@alexwalker8440]

So glad to see you're enjoying VoicePlay and Geoff's videos so much! They are really fantastic! Geoff, Layne and Earl are part of the founding members, back in 1997. Eli joined them in 2010 or 11, and JNone became an official member back in 2018, after several collaborations. I hope you keep going thru the awesome VoicePlay/Geoff rabbit holes!

[@Bluebell_uk]

I'd also recommend Queen in 5 minutes, Tenesse Whiskey, Hoist the Colours, Friends on the other side and their Little Mermaid Medley

[@lkayh]

J.None is def fine! His voice is also gorgeous and the fact that he’s super nice just makes him the whole deal. He has some music worth checking out on his own channel, and a rendition of our national anthem that is beautiful. He also has crazy range. He even stole some of Geoff’s bass line in Little Mermaid Medley. And yeah, you really can’t miss with Voiceplay. There are some videos I like more than others but I haven’t seen a single one that wasn’t wonderful.

[@janetdw]

This was the video that led me to create a “Cheer me up” playlist for when depression hits. It never fails to put a smile on my face.

[@jenfraley7637]

I've seen everyone mention the Panic in 4 mins Part 1 and 2 and wanted to throw in, if you want to go into the way-back machine, they also did a full cover of Death of a Bachelor. It was part of their partwork series (where people could suggest the song and who all was in it) so it's just Geoff and Earl instead of all of the guys. But it's amazing.

[@kathrynmenzel2615]

Eli is wonderful. You should check him out in Carry on Wayward Son, Kiss, and DreamOn.

I just discovered you today and I've already binged half your Voiceplay playlist! Your enthusiasm and excitement are so endearing I couldn't not subscribe.

[@Gael4ce]

Dude, I’m so loving your reactions. You’re so real. I saw the very second you got they were dancing “Single Ladies” to “Walk Like A Man”…loved how you lit up right before you laughed. I agree with what you said re: early VoicePlay vs current. The pandemic blocked them from touring and I think it ended up being good for them - everyone seems to have really sat down and worked on perfecting what they do. Pretty much every video is a MOOD now, which is a huge change from “let’s sit down with a mic and camera and sing” that was quite a few of their earlier videos. I’m pretty sure “Cheerleader” was shot in someone’s spare bedroom with a single camera doing autofocus on a tripod. (Also: adorable dancing in that one) They’ve raised their complexity across the bar. From the arrangements to the make up to the special effects…just everything has elevated in the past few years. Losing Earl was a hella blow, particularly on top of losing J. When they made that announcement, I burst into tears. Not just because he was gone but because I didn’t see how they’d recover from losing J and Earl so close together. I was expecting it to be the end. I’m so glad it wasn’t. Cesar is taking J’s role, I suspect they are waiting on DeeJay Young to finish his contract with Hamilton to bring him in. He’s another high tenor who could do Earl’s range. I don’t think you’ve seen one with DeeJay aboard yet. You can find him in Man In The Mirror, Butter, Bang, In My Room, and Christmas Don’t Be Late. Try one of those. Also put Tennessee Whiskey on your list. KILLER runs. For a very early one, “I Love Me” should be watched. That’s old enough to have Tony Wakim in it. (so…pre-J. None). Cheerleader also has Tony, but you don’t really hear him. He’s mostly just being sexy dancing around. Oh…another point for Cheerleader : gunshow. 💪 😋 Everyone went sleeveless. I approve of the look. 😁 Little tip: you can approximate a video’s age by two factors: 1) Who is in it. (With Tony, not J = oldest) 2) How long is Geoff’s hair? The shorter the hair, the older the video.

[@dj_410]

Haha thanks for your awesome comment and your tips 😄 I'm so glad you are enjoying my reactions 😀 Cant wait to see more of the boys evolution

[@iamsquatty]

I was so excited for this one, I knew you'd love it! If you like BTS they do a cover to Butter that is amazing. Also, for more good Layne beatboxing I love him in the little mermaid medley, enemy, and dream on just to name a few. And panic in 4 minutes pt 1&2 is great as well, it's technically the follow up of their billie eilish medley video (as far as story goes). 💜

[@dj_410]

So glad you enjoyed it! Ohhhh there is a story?!?! Need to react to those 3!!!

[@ruthrussell1329]

This is a relatively older vid. The original line up had Earl in it. There was another member, Tony. See their version of Phantom of the Opera, Tony takes the lead in it. When Tony left, they added J None. Then, Earl departed, and they left it at 4, just adding featured players. J None is currently doing a hitch in the Navy, singing, and he visits as he can. When he departed, they added Cesar. Hopefully, once J None is done his hitch, we get him back to add up to 5 again. Now, my facts may be a bit off, but I think that's how it goes.

[@candilunsford2878]

I love this one. If you want to see more of J None try Friends On the Other Side or The Grinch. Those are my favorites he's done. Geoff has some great choreo in his solo Way Down. It's an Elvis cover and he hits a phenomenal A0 as the last note. It's well worth watching.

[@bjspeck4337]

Glad to see you put this one the agenda! This same cast does Tennessee Whiskey - great. Queen in 5 Minutes also same group. A little later - Earl gone, J None in the US Navy, but back during leave to do lead in Friends on the Other Side. Butter is another good one but you'll want to watch through several times because so much is going on. Yep...Layne is amazing. He started off in high school as the baritone, when Scott left, Layne wanted to do the beatboxing and Geoff taught him a lot of the basics but he is at the top of the best beatboxers. If you look at the bottom of the Patreon list, Layne's mom Gayle Stein is there as is Geoff's dad, Robert Castellucci.

Yes, JNone was (and when available still is) a great part of the group. He has his own YT channel. Two vids with this same VP lineup that you might want to check are: (1) Tennessee Whiskey. Based on the Chris Stapleton original, but with Eli doing a run, then JNone doing one, then Geoff breaking away from his bass guitar line and doing a sorta run, then finally a "group run." Earl only has a few lead notes. (2) Can't Help Falling In Love. JNone is prominent, but everyone gets featured in the harmonies, including Earl, and even Layne.

[@hwyla4416]

Just want to say that when you get to Panic at the Disco 1 & 2, be sure to watch ‘Trapped’ Billy Eilish first as it is story-wise the prelude to the Panics. Also, for this same line-up of singers, I highly suggest both ‘Tennessee Whisky’ and ‘Queen in 5 minutes’. Very different but both great! And lastly, if you think J None looks good here, you MUST watch him in ‘Friends on the Other Side’. Wow! He did it with them on his first leave home after Boot Camp and he looks very fit. And sounds amazing, too.

[@dj_410]

Cant wait to react to all these! They are now all on my (admittedly, very long) list for future reactions haha

[@wallen308]

Your enthusiasm is contagious - I smile all the way through! Love that you vibe hard on Voiceplay 🥰

[@jerrychubb6168]

As usual, VP looks like they are having a great time with what they are doing.

[@JaviaMusic]

If you want to hear some more of Eli going crazy on some lead parts I would suggest their covers of Kiss and My Mother Told Me. He goes absolutely crazy in those

[@west_nebraska_dude4527]

I can't tell you how much I adore watching your VoicePlay reactions. Thanks so much for bringing so much joy to KZbin!!

[@Chibihugs]

I love this video and all the songs but my favorite part is that most people don't notice Eli is singing in Korean on the last song!

[@culurien3331]

I am just watching this one again - I saw it in your list and I was like O.O I just forgot how much I loved this one.

[@susanbradley5685]

And...speaking of Alvin and the Chipmunks...VP covered "Christmas don't be late" last year...with DJ Young (also did Butter,Bang, and several other songs with VP).

[@sarahborzelli_Castellineicieli]

yay! glad you've reacted to this one! I enjoyed it a lot! 😍

[@dj_410]

So glad you enjoyed it 🥰🥰

[@marshayoung9387]

Thank you for another priceless reaction to Voice Play. Please do a reaction video of Voice Plays ( A Crimpella ). It is hilarious. Also Two original songs by Voice Play backing 2015 ,& they are .( Voice Play ) one minute musical Miley Cyrus. Music & lyrics are by Geoff Castallucci it is hilarious. Also ( Voice Play ) one minute musical, Light Bulb music & lyrics are by Eli. Because these last two are short videos you could do them both in one sitting. Not many people a have seen them so I seem to be the only one requesting them. We have to put the ward out. I will be so grateful if you do first time reactions to them. I Guarantee you will love them. Never take your eyes off these guys while performing or you will miss something good.

[@tomykomiyamoto8742]

Love your reaction!!! ❤❤ Thank you! You'll love Adam Rupp's (from HF) drum solo, and VP Moana or Little Mermaid's medleys. 😉 J's "friends on the other side" is great. But then so is "Queen in 5 min". Hmm, guess Bass Gang's might hit a chord too. 😉🙃 Glad you're enjoying this little a capella wonderland so much.

[@Broomrider1492]

Earl Elkins Jr. was one of the founding members. J.None was a member who took Tony Wakims' place. Geoff, Earl, and Layne started singing together in middle school. Earl is tenor 1, Eli tenor 2, J. baritone, Layne baritone (beatboxer ), and Geoff BASS!. Got to Huldra Draco's channel where she has all the VoicePlay member history. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGe6qXatfdOYmKs

[@dj_410]

Thanks so much! I have been chatting to Huldra a bit in the discord server and will definitely be checking out their vids

[@karenponchak5304]

Yeah - that puzzled face. Most everyone misses that Eli is singing in Korean during the first part of the BTS song.

[@dj_410]

I THOUGHT HE DID!!! I didn't comment on it cause I didn't know if I was just being a fool but I was so sure it was Korean! Hahah

[@anaestay6698]

this is one of my favourites, they are so cool and playful!

[@SBQDawn]

The Choreographer she works with Home Free too. She's Awesome go watch some of their From the Vault's to see her.

[@dreyhawk]

As much as I love the current lineup I miss Earls high notes. Eli has stepped in to fill that area a lot but he doesn't get quite as high. J. None was brought in to replace Tony and I hope he is back when he is out of the navy. Eli's rock background really shows in some of these songs. Watching the different dances (that they nailed) for each song was really fun. I love this one!

[@aaroncoffman88]

You might also want to consider their covers of "We're Good," which you may not be familiar with but fits very well "Good 4 U." Both feature Adriana Arellano

[@emeliecarlstrom2902]

They are so dang talented, holy cow.. I love this video and the dance moves is awsome. Not only can they sing but they can dance aswell. Thank you so much for this reaction video hun. I love the honesty and genuine reaction. Keep it up and im looking forward for the next video 🥰❤

Oh my gosh, I feel like I just watched my new bestie react to this. Amazing!! LOVED your reaction sooo much!

[@ashbii7632]

P.S You have GOT to react to Panic part 1 and 2 BUTTTT you have to react to Trapped first. It's a three part story line and it is soooooo good. You'll love it.

[@squishyjr1612]

Your reactions are so great. I love voiceplay and now I have found one of my new favourite reactors.

[@Riri0613]

To be honest for me one of the most impressive parts was the last song "Fake Love" by BTS (especially as a BTS fan) since they even sang in Korean and incorporated some similar dance moves. If you don't know the original I would definitely recommend watching Fake Love by BTS :)

[@veronicathunander4579]

Their Panic! in the Disco is great (do both in one reaction, they are four minutes together), but please start with Billie Eilish in three minutes, because it’s the prequel.

[@dj_410]

I might do one long reaction to all 3! :D

[@veronicathunander4579]

I know in the part where Earl was singing walk like a man when he talked about spreading lies the guy they panned to that was all "you should see the size of his wallet" was Earls Husband.

[@par500dragon7]

Oh, and for a song that is a tour de force for JNone, check out Friends on the Other Side. It's crazy good (and fun)!

[@karinwolf9639]

Just subscribed - waiting eagerly for your VP reactions. So much fun! Thank you!!

[@desireecox9358]

Check out Friends on the other side. Really good one of J None.

[@dj_410]

It's added to my list and I'm so keen to see! Thanks for your suggestion :😀

[@Gael4ce]

I was also going to suggest this. @DJ_410, Friends on the Other Side was done shortly after J got through basic training…and it showed, lol. You think he’s pretty here?! Brace for impact!

Check out their ACA Top ten lists, i.e. Disney Heros. Disney Villains, and the rest

I would like to recommend another Boy Band Medley, this one a Parody. It's by Paint (of After Ever After fame) and Peter Hollins. It's slightly more PG but it's hilarious.

[@joshuaebel7096]

I have watched this video... god knows how many times and I never realized that was Rik in the Boys II Men part!

[@jessicacole7981]

One...did you catch the mouse...two...do Trapped Billie Elish before you do Panic parts one and two .. three... You need to do Butter for pure fun and amazing vocals...that is all for now 😁

[@eliasbergmann20]

I am still convinced Eli can sing anything. That theory just hasn't been falsified for me.

[@funkyhatcat]

Layne is crazy tall isn't he?! I never see him standing at full height beside the others

[@maskedmallard537]

I know right? When they were doing the bit with the bubble blowers it was kind of like Layne and Earl were the dads and the "kids" were bopping around to it. 😂

If you react to their Panic at the Disco, you need to make it a three-fer -- watch Trapped, and then Panic Part 1 and Part 2 -- to get the full story.
