## Episode Summary

What is music? From Chuck Berry to modern spotify found music everyone has found music to be intoxicating. "Wow this is like drinking a beer". But Alcohol destroys lives, so does music? No, let me explain.

## Idea Details

* Idea: Music is my life, music will save the planet Earth, music will save the world, World Wide Playlist
* Creator of idea: Josiah
* Purpose of idea: So I wanna talk to you today, you know, we're talking about sound, we're talking about audio experiences. (Drew: "Well if you think about it, Josiah, sound is waves, right? And light is also waves and it's rays.") Romano. (Drew: "And everything is - so everything, when you think about sound, you're thinkin about the entirety of everything. You're thinkin about God.") So you say sound - hang on. Sound - every- sound is waves and rays and everybody loves ray. Mond. Everybody loves rays. And everybody needs sound. (Drew: "Mhm. Mhm. Yeah.") Cause I think we've been overs- I think we've been over- s- not - I think we've been undersimplifying it this whole time. (Drew: "Mhm. In what way?") We've been trying to fix - we've been trying to save world by putting uhh platforms places and aging up little boys and building transportation for people who, frankly, don't appreciate us or care about us, don't retweet us enough, and so I think we just need to really zoom out a little bit and really think about what can we do to heal world, what can we do to save life, and what is life? If you say 'something is my life', what's the thing that most comes to mind to you? The phrase 'something is my life'. (Drew: "Oh God.") \*Josiah and Drew listen to a song called *Music Is My Life* by a little boy\* Do you kinda get what I'm getting at here? (Drew: "No. You're saying, what? Music is your life?") Music is everyone's life. Music is li- no music, no life. And I think the power of music is that we can save the Earth with it, is what I'm trying to say. You get it? (Drew: "Yeah. I guess.") Do you get what I'm saying? (Drew: "So you're saying that you believe that music will save the world. You're saying that music is your life, music will save the planet Earth, and music \*burp\* will save the world.") Here's what I think, Drew. We've had the World Wide Anthem, we've had Drew crooning to the classics, we've had *Why Do I Have Blue Eyes?*, we've had *Horny* by PiSk. Each of these things allowed us to level up in a new way. To change our own lives and the lives of those around us. And yet we've been limiting ourselves to only the song *Horny* by PiSk or World Wide Anthem or *Why Do I Have Blue Eyes?* or Frank Sinatra karaoke tracks. What I'm trying to say is that I believe that music, which is my life and is Ray's and everyone loves rays, can save the world. And I think we just need to play music at all times everywhere in every capacity and the problems will just sort of detangle themselves and, like a vine below a tree, it will eventually find the nutrients it needs, the problems will, and then they'll - whoa, that's a bad exam- they won't gro- they'll do the opp- they won't grow though, like a tree. (Drew: "The solutions will grow.") Yeah, like leaves. So I'm saying music will sa- I mean, what do you not unders- I don't understand what you don't understand. (Drew: "Well I haven't said anything to uh you know, I haven't uh got mad at you or played devil at all. For all you know, I 100% agree with this idea. Cause I don't know if you know this about me, Josiah, music is my life.") Music is your life? (Drew: "Yeah.") Music is my life! (Drew: "That's cool.") Are you serious? (Drew: "Yeah! I love music. I love listening to music, I love thinking about music, I love music videos.") Music is my life, too! (Drew: "What's your favorite thing about music?") Probably that it's my life. (Drew: "I love that it is my life.") For me, I think it's probably mostly something about how it's my life. You know? So anyways, my point is, you know, music is my life, eat it every day, every night, music will save the world, we need - we just need more music at all times and the problems will just solve themselves out because of the mu- cause of the tunes! Just need more tunes! (Drew: "OK so why don't we just create a giant speaker on the moon -") Well we already have done some shit with the moon. I don't really care how we do it, I'm just trying to say that we - that music is my li- music will heal - even the - even how we're gonna do it doesn't even matter, we just need to put on some tunes and just loosen up a little and then we'll figure it all out.
* Timetable: No timetable was given for this idea. However, it only requires Bluetooth speakers to be installed on every streetlight and stop sign in the world and then synced up with each other to play the only music allowed anymore which is from the World Wide Playlist, so it should be implemented any day now.
* Idea details:
	+ Music is our life.
	+ Music will save the planet Earth.
	+ Music will save the world.
	+ Every time we exhale, we need to have a wind instrument up to our mouths from now on so as not to waste the exhale. As an option, perhaps everyone in the world will be required to have one of those harmonica brackets around their necks at all times.
		- Note: While this is similar to the light bulb that will be attached to a metal thing that is augured into the frontal lobe of everyone in the world, it should not interfere with that process.
	+ Not all music is good; some music is dangerous and scary. For this reason, a World Wide Playlist will be created that is controlled so that there is one world-central hub of music broadcasting system. The scary music will be used at Guantanamo Bay or at wartime or fight time or battle. The nice music will be when we need to heal, because you can't heal the world without making a few wars in the world.
		- Note: This idea seems to contradict the elimination of the internet in Episode 8: World Wide Web and the elimination of all other forms of media in Episode 31: Mandatory Warhol. Presumably, as with World Wide Email Forwarding Registration Service, World Wide Comedy, and the Mandatory Warhol Network, this World Wide Playlist would somehow be worked into the World Wide Web can-and-strings.
	+ Josiah and Drew will still let Nate Ruess make music.
		- Note: This seems to contradict the elimination of all other forms of media in Episode 31: Mandatory Warhol.
	+ There will be songs that are officially endorsed by the state that will be broadcast around the world to declare different times of day and different holidays.
		- Note: It is unclear what this means for World Wide Wakeup Call, which is the fourth can in each household which will go to a real rooster in order to help wake up everyone in the world at the mandatory wakeup time of 6 AM, as well as what it means more broadly about the entire point of having a World Wide Watch Day Moon and Night Moon that ensure everyone in the world can see the time at all times.
		- Note: It is also unclear what this means for the Pope's special phone that allows him to send out an Amber alert at 12:00 AM on the morning of Secret Christmas.
	+ One example of when the World Wide Playlist will need to be broadcast worldwide will be when they need to announce that it's time for the Jiggly Wiggle Party. This holiday will be announced by playing *Jiggy Wiggle Party* by Lance over the World Wide Playlist music broadcasting system.
	+ Everywhere you go, the World Wide Playlist will be blaring from Bluetooth speakers installed on every streetlight and stop sign in the world, which will all be synced up somehow.
	+ The Jiggly Wiggle Party will be held on April 28th each year. To celebrate the holiday, everyone in the world will have a funkytime celebration where you freak out and boogie of the groovin and gotta get your moves on.

## Devil Play

* Drew played devil by playing a few selections of music that were dangerous or scary, rather than good.
	+ Josiah deviled Drew's devil by pointing out that they would obviously need to create a World Wide Playlist that is controlled so that there is one world-central hub of music broadcasting system. The scary music will be used at Guantanamo Bay or at wartime or fight time or battle. The nice music will be when we need to heal, because you can't heal the world without making a few wars in the world.

* "[On the topic of Drew inserting his Blue Yeti microphone inside of his body to record this episode] You're supposed to make sure that there is a ring or a string on those kinds of things before you insert them so they don't get lost inside, and what I believe has happened is your Blue Yeti has been lost inside of your body and you're recording it through your rectum. It's picking up the sound from your mouth through your -"

## Trivia

* Drew's audio quality was notably less clear than usual in this episode. Some, including Josiah, have theorized that the reason for this is that Drew had inserted his Blue Yeti into his rectum and it got lost inside of his body and he was recording his audio through his rectum by picking up the sound from his mouth. Drew denied this allegation.
* By a total coincidence, Josiah and Drew released this episode and maintained the false pretense of having also recorded this episode on April 28th, which is the day of the Jiggly Wiggle Party, as established in this episode.
