In this episode of Unplugged with Tyler Winters and John Pearman,
the hosts discuss various topics, starting with an overview of
the Grammys, highlighting Taylor Swift's record-breaking wins and
Paramore's historic achievement. They also touch upon Paris
Jackson teasing new music, and boygenius' hiatus, and they share
thoughts on Jay-Z's comments about Beyoncé's Grammy snub. The
hosts then express their views on the current state of pop-punk,
declaring that it has peaked and discussing the lack of
innovation in the genre.

The conversation takes an interesting turn as they delve into
Kanye West's unauthorized sample of Ozzy Osbourne's song "War
Pigs," leading to legal and ethical concerns. The hosts also
explore the shocking revelation that Talking Heads turned down an
$80 million offer to reunite for festivals in 2024. The episode
concludes with a humorous discussion about Kid Rock's claim of
getting more "ass" than Mark McGrath, with McGrath himself
confirming the statement. But the hosts wonder, of the two
artists, who got the more quality of ass?
