  Speaker 3: Different kind of everything, like everything is kind of switched around.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: It's it's been interesting though, because I'm so busy now,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: which I'm so grateful about. But basically I have a
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: people running my life. So I'm kind of just told
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: we're to go like a puppet like kind of like
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: sheep dog like okay in this interview, Okay, make up
• 1:56

• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Thrive in that environment.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't have to thank for yourself.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: It's a meme of like when your boyfriend's around, you
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: get to turn your brain off.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: You're like, it was the last mundane thing you had
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: to do for yourself.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Mundane thing.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I had it to the doctor. I thought I had
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: this parasite, So how do they go to the doctor?
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: And I was like, where's my manager?
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Because you talk about it's been such a big rise
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: over the last few months, but before that, you were
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: grinding it out. You know. It was like nine years old,
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: you're performing in coffee shops and you've been singing for
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: a long.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Time my whole life.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I got lucky as a kid because I knew
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: that I wanted to be an artist, and I fell
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: in love a songwriting at such a young age that
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: I was kind of that one kid that was just like, no,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna be an artist.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Now it worked out, which is crazy because I know
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: that doesn't happen for everybody. So I'm like really grateful
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: that it all paid off. Well.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Austin obviously is you know, it has been the ticket
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: to you know, but this song is like, we got
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: it wrong. We thought it was about a place. It's
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: about a guy and you know, and a police Austin.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: You listened to it, you thought it was well.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: He listened to be honest, We're like I knew, I
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: knew it was a bit of a guy, but yeah, okay,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: but I thought he.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Was based and you know that is true, he is
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: based in Austin. But also that was made up.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's about someone else. It's about an actual breakout,
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: not his sexual name.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, yeah, Austin's not his name at all. Austin
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: was literally just me. I mean honestly, a lot of
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: the details in the song are true. It's just the
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: name of the place. Nashville didn't rhyme with anything. He
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: ended singing, and so I was like, where's another cool place?
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: And I was like, Austin, what about Bashville? That kind
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: of rhymes with Nashville bash That's where you'll be wait,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: what is lie? It's where you'll be so bashful? Yeah,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: forty years so we're here juhnks washed up in.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Or you could be like, okay, that's fair, you're riddled
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: with a Rashville forty years waiting for.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: The docs happened.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Still it's a new self.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: In God, you're so right.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: It hasn't even come out yet. Gets stuck for a rhyme.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: You know, I'll just fly it back to New Zealand.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: And it's a hot because obviously it was a sad
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: time in your life, that breakout, and but now you
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: know you you know you started the line dance thing.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: But people are line dancing a heavy song, you know.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: It's funny.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the truck's position kind of cracks me up sometimes.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: And when I play the song stripped or on piano,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: people can see like, oh, you were really sad, but
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: it's cracking me up because people were like drunk and
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: having a good time and line danced this song and
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: I was like, wow, I was so down bad when
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: I wrote this song, like I was on well, but like, hey,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: men are business expenses and this just proves it.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: So hell, how's your relationship with that person now?
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: I sent him Austin as a demo along with the
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: entire album about him before it came out. She was
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: like a year ago when we were still kind of
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: like incahoots and he like loved the attention of like
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: me writing an entire album about him because he is
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: that bitch, you know.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: And I was like loving it too. I was like,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: he broke my heart, but here's the album, you know.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: And then and then and then I met my current
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: boyfriend and I forgot all about him, if I'm being honest,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: and so I haven't really spoken to him. Well, my
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: boyfriend Arden. He's an artist, so he does the exact
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: same thing I do.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: So but I'm guessing also like not too complimentary, you know,
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: So he's not like, ah, I wish that song is
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: about me.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: No, yeah, no, I'm writing really cute love songs about
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: my boyfriend now. So he stoked he's getting his moment.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: But it's funny. I was just saying that, like him
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: being backstage at shows and I'm like telling all these
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: stories on stage about.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: This guy, and he's just like, bro stand there and
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: like watch me do that.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: For the time that we did think it was about
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: a place called Austin, we thought on the show we
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: should make a version of your song about Auckland where we.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Are junk washed upping.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: That fit, but a backstory from Auckland, because you've only
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: seemed like four blocks of really well yeah, I mean
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: Wayne Brown's the mere traffics, kind of like the big
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: cities traffics. Bed coffee is expensive. They had a few
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: problems with Surage going into the water at once.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Sage swim.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Place house housing, very expensive housing as well. So you
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: need if you can, because these references will mean nothing
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: to you if you can keep those in the back
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: of your mind.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be awkward while we play this to you
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, okay, before yeah, before we play this
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: to you. No lawsuits, no lawsuits.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Can you guarantee no lawsuits?
• 6:35

• 6:39
  Speaker 1: here we go.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Did the train stop working?
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: Did it's a bus break down?
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Eighty bucks four parking?
• 6:47
