- 0:39Speaker 3: for lunch.
- 0:40Speaker 2: Okay, Well, is there a time and a place?
- 0:44Speaker 1: Well, hold on one second.
- 0:44Speaker 2: Let me let me explain with this.
- 0:47Speaker 1: Each week, if you're new, five things we love we
- 0:51Speaker 1: share with you guys. I have six this week because
- 0:53Speaker 1: I think I repeated one last week and then anything
- 0:57Speaker 1: that made us cry, crash out or that we hate
- 0:59Speaker 1: it the end and we talked ship in between.
- 1:02Speaker 2: Now, why is it is it bad to.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Make frozen pizza for lunch or like you can get
- 1:07Speaker 1: a late night drunk thing? Is that?
- 1:09Speaker 3: Yeah? I don't know. I don't know if at this
- 1:11Speaker 3: big age I should still be eating frozen pizzas.
- 1:16Speaker 1: Wow, I mean that's news to me.
- 1:19Speaker 3: Do people do?
- 1:22Speaker 2: Do people do? Yeah, people people.
- 1:25Speaker 3: Do people do? Okay?
- 1:27Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I feel like we're all still eating
- 1:30Speaker 1: frozen pizza? Is that not?
- 1:33Speaker 3: I don't know. My girl Mayer had five for five,
- 1:37Speaker 3: so I had to get five frozen pizzas.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Do you dip? Do you dip in ranch?
- 1:42Speaker 3: Oh that's a good idea. I have ranch. No, I
- 1:44Speaker 3: normally don't.
- 1:45Speaker 1: But you can add a little hot sauced, some hot sauce. Yeah,
- 1:51Speaker 1: pupper flakes, Well, you eat, you enjoy. Yeah, so I figured,
- 1:57Speaker 1: I know I teased Italy. I think we'll do Italy
- 2:00Speaker 1: next week because I feel like with La La Polouza week, Yeah,
- 2:07Speaker 1: I feel like people might be interested in hearing, like
- 2:10Speaker 1: from your perspective and I guess our perspective kind of
- 2:12Speaker 1: like the behind the scenes what we do at LALLA, Yeah,
- 2:16Speaker 1: works out, it goes maybe some of your I'm putting
- 2:19Speaker 1: on the spot, some of your favorite people we've met,
- 2:21Speaker 1: or memories along the way. Yeah, So I thought we
- 2:25Speaker 1: could we could chat about that really quick before we
- 2:27Speaker 1: do our top five. Okay, so how long have you
- 2:32Speaker 1: been doing LALLA as a promotions director in Chicago?
- 2:39Speaker 3: So I think I'm at about oh my gosh, probably
- 2:45Speaker 3: like twelve years.
- 2:48Speaker 1: Thirteen years, okay, and you've been to every lalla since then?
- 2:54Speaker 3: Yeah, And I not bragging, but like, prior to me come,
- 3:00Speaker 3: we didn't do anything locally for Lollapalooza. Like iHeart national
- 3:05Speaker 3: would fly in our national team and they would set
- 3:09Speaker 3: up a booth and it was like public facing and
- 3:12Speaker 3: they would like hand out sunscreen and stuff. But like
- 3:15Speaker 3: we didn't do anything like from a local radio station side.
- 3:18Speaker 3: So I kind of like put feather in my cap
- 3:21Speaker 3: that like I created, like that was your baby relationship.
- 3:26Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's awesome.
- 3:28Speaker 2: I didn't know that.
- 3:29Speaker 1: And if you guys are listening from elsewhere, I know,
- 3:33Speaker 1: let me see. I jotted down some of the randoms.
- 3:35Speaker 1: I love seeing where people are listening because.
- 3:37Speaker 3: Oh cool we had.
- 3:41Speaker 1: So we had one week we had one in Mexico,
- 3:45Speaker 1: then we had two in Mexico, five at one point
- 3:51Speaker 1: in the United Kingdom, Singapore eight, Oh my god.
- 3:55Speaker 3: We're big in Singapore.
- 3:57Speaker 2: Yeah, you're gonna say Singapore.
- 3:59Speaker 1: One week it was yeah, like it was just one
- 4:01Speaker 1: from Singapore, but like this week we had eight, two
- 4:05Speaker 1: in Mexico.
- 4:06Speaker 2: So and.
- 4:10Speaker 1: Finland was the random one on the most recent of
- 4:14Speaker 1: one in Finland. So obviously Lallapalooza started. I don't know
- 4:19Speaker 1: if the first one was. It was in Chicago, right,
- 4:21Speaker 1: because it was started by Perry Ferrell, who was Jean's addiction.
- 4:24Speaker 1: It's really really funny.
- 4:25Speaker 3: Actually don't know why he picked Chicago. I'd have to
- 4:28Speaker 3: look that up. Yeah, because it is when you sort
- 4:32Speaker 3: of think of now there's music festivals everywhere, but like prior,
- 4:35Speaker 3: I would think like the biggest ones at the time
- 4:37Speaker 3: were like people probably think of like Woodstock or you know,
- 4:41Speaker 3: like stuff like that, and growing up I lived here.
- 4:45Speaker 3: I mean you didn't live far, but like growing up here,
- 4:48Speaker 3: I Lollapalooza was like always like, oh, that's for like
- 4:53Speaker 3: the older people, that's for like rock people, that's for
- 4:57Speaker 3: like like that was like the like sort of like
- 5:01Speaker 3: the con like how people conceptualize the festival that lived here.
- 5:05Speaker 3: And maybe obviously I can't speak for everybody, but at
- 5:08Speaker 3: least like in my suburban life and like my friends
- 5:12Speaker 3: and people I went to school with or whatever, like
- 5:15Speaker 3: they would That's how Lallapaluza was looked at. And now
- 5:18Speaker 3: it couldn't be any more of the opposite. I don't
- 5:21Speaker 3: think anyone over the age of forty wants to go to.
- 5:24Speaker 2: Us No, or you'll go for like one headliner.
- 5:28Speaker 1: Like I'm sure there were people were at the Metallica
- 5:30Speaker 1: show and what what year was that that you guys
- 5:34Speaker 1: were looking at it like that because I started going,
- 5:37Speaker 1: like well before I even lived here, but you're talking
- 5:39Speaker 1: like high.
- 5:39Speaker 3: School before that, like grade school. Yeah, I'd never been
- 5:45Speaker 3: to Lollapaluza prior to working here, like even as like
- 5:49Speaker 3: a like a fan, like I never have been to one.
- 5:52Speaker 2: Yeah, that's wild.
- 5:53Speaker 1: I still think it's wild that you haven't like experienced
- 5:56Speaker 1: a music festival like but yeah.
- 6:00Speaker 3: And the closest thing was like smoke Out, but like that,
- 6:02Speaker 3: I don't think that really counts.
- 6:03Speaker 1: I mean I could. It's the festival. I mean there's
- 6:06Speaker 1: all different sorts. But yeah, I guess I didn't realize
- 6:08Speaker 1: he was like one of the first to really do that.
- 6:10Speaker 1: And maybe that's why you guys thought it was just
- 6:12Speaker 1: for adult rockers because well, the lineup was.
- 6:15Speaker 3: Like definitely way different back to which you can attest to,
- 6:18Speaker 3: I'm sure, yeah.
- 6:20Speaker 2: I mean, well, I started going.
- 6:22Speaker 1: Lallapalooza is always during my birthday weekend, which like we've
- 6:27Speaker 1: had beef, but we we've also had joy because some years,
- 6:31Speaker 1: you know, I've been able to go in celebration on
- 6:35Speaker 1: my birthday and like get a crew to go. I mean,
- 6:37Speaker 1: I think my first one, I think we came in
- 6:39Speaker 1: college and there was like fifteen in a hotel room
- 6:42Speaker 1: because we were broke as hell, and I think it
- 6:46Speaker 1: was maybe my nineteenth birthday.
- 6:49Speaker 2: And that was when Eminem headlined.
- 6:51Speaker 3: Oh wow, I don't even remember that.
- 6:53Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually started an f the Blackhawks chant because
- 6:57Speaker 1: I don't know why, and.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Like we were screaming like about Detroit.
- 7:01Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 7:02Speaker 1: I was like on demon time, I think. But my
- 7:05Speaker 1: favorite story from that weekend was we shared the room
- 7:11Speaker 1: with so many people and one of my best guy
- 7:15Speaker 1: friends was staying with us and he was dating at
- 7:19Speaker 1: the time someone that I've known almost my whole life
- 7:22Speaker 1: because she is my friend's little sister and her and
- 7:25Speaker 1: I her older sister went to kindergarten together, and then
- 7:30Speaker 1: like we all figure skated together, which I know is
- 7:32Speaker 1: like very shocking for every time for people. I used
- 7:35Speaker 1: to be a figure skater, like very funny and you
- 7:38Speaker 1: always ask if I could like lift my bag of
- 7:41Speaker 1: my head and all the things. But yeah, so anyways,
- 7:44Speaker 1: so why and I certainly can yeah one of the So,
- 7:51Speaker 1: so we were all sleeping at one point, everybody kind
- 7:54Speaker 1: of just like passed out in the hotel room, including
- 7:58Speaker 1: my guy friend who was dating my friend's little sister. Well,
- 8:01Speaker 1: she went out later to like meet up with some people,
- 8:04Speaker 1: and somebody had taken the padlocked door, which like was
- 8:10Speaker 1: probably smart because like we were staying in like Katie
- 8:13Speaker 1: hotel was like all we could afford. But somebody had
- 8:16Speaker 1: like not only locked the room, but pad locked it.
- 8:18Speaker 1: So because everyone was like drunk and passed out, My
- 8:21Speaker 1: one of my girlfriends was not dating this man.
- 8:26Speaker 3: Was.
- 8:26Speaker 1: I don't know who got in the bed first. One
- 8:28Speaker 1: of them got in a bed for him to pull
- 8:29Speaker 1: out bed, and they both somehow ended up in there.
- 8:32Speaker 2: It was not nefarious.
- 8:33Speaker 1: I think both of them are dating other people, but
- 8:36Speaker 1: because they were drunk, I think my guy friend like
- 8:39Speaker 1: woke them in the middle of night and like thought
- 8:40Speaker 1: it was his girlfriend. So I'm pretty sure they were
- 8:43Speaker 1: like cuddling anyway, So his girlfriend comes back to the
- 8:45Speaker 1: room and she can just open the door slightly with
- 8:48Speaker 1: the key and just see through the crack that her
- 8:51Speaker 1: boyfriend was spooning with my friend. You can imagine the
- 8:56Speaker 1: rage that like she fell at that time, but it
- 8:59Speaker 1: ended up being a funny story. But yeah, so I
- 9:01Speaker 1: think maybe that was my first one, and then ever
- 9:04Speaker 1: since I've either been like you can beat them or
- 9:06Speaker 1: you can join them. But like having my twenty first
- 9:08Speaker 1: birthday here over that weekend, it was like everything's so expensive.
- 9:11Speaker 1: Like at the time you wanted to go to a club,
- 9:13Speaker 1: club culture was big, like I was twenty teven, everything
- 9:16Speaker 1: was like so much more expensive.
- 9:19Speaker 2: So I have a love hate with lalla.
- 9:22Speaker 3: Yeah, the timing. It's nice this year that it's a
- 9:24Speaker 3: little bit late, like earlier for your birthday.
- 9:27Speaker 1: Yeah, like it's frustrating because like I have a Wednesday birthday. Yeah,
- 9:32Speaker 1: I didn't want to celebrate this year, but it is
- 9:34Speaker 1: sort of like a big birthday, and so you know,
- 9:36Speaker 1: everyone's like, let's do it, let's do it. But like
- 9:39Speaker 1: my personal birthday trauma from growing up is that having
- 9:42Speaker 1: an August birthday, like everyone like at least in the Midwest,
- 9:46Speaker 1: everyone is on a family vacation at that time, so
- 9:49Speaker 1: like no one could ever like come to my party.
- 9:51Speaker 1: It would be like one person or whatever. And now
- 9:53Speaker 1: it's like at this grown age, it's like there's always
- 9:55Speaker 1: like weddings or whatever either weekend, and so I couldn't
- 9:59Speaker 1: celebrate the weekend before and the weekend after that I
- 10:01Speaker 1: have to celebrate no one's here.
- 10:04Speaker 2: And then after is so many other.
- 10:07Speaker 1: People's birthday, including my sisters, so I couldn't even extend
- 10:10Speaker 1: it then. So it's like, I'm not like a big
- 10:11Speaker 1: birthday diva, but I do like to do something that
- 10:14Speaker 1: I enjoy with like the people I love. Just yeah,
- 10:17Speaker 1: you know, I made it, so you know, it's whatever.
- 10:21Speaker 1: It's been a time. I have a love hay with Lalla.
- 10:24Speaker 1: I have also gotten my phone stolen out of my
- 10:27Speaker 1: pocket one time at Lala and then the next day
- 10:30Speaker 1: was my birthday and I was like, no, I want
- 10:33Speaker 1: to see my birthday wishes. But yeah, eminem, I'm thinking
- 10:39Speaker 1: of Atmosphere was a good show. There's been so many
- 10:44Speaker 1: amazing people I feel like that we've seen over the years,
- 10:47Speaker 1: and then we started, you know, working together, and then
- 10:51Speaker 1: Lalla Palooza, you know, became interviews and stuff backstage. So
- 10:56Speaker 1: were you like one of the first people in Chicago
- 10:59Speaker 1: radio to have like a setup back in the We're
- 11:04Speaker 1: invited into the media area, which is the time right
- 11:08Speaker 1: next to the lounge, which we're not allowed in. I've tried,
- 11:13Speaker 1: so talk to me about that, because we have like
- 11:17Speaker 1: a lot of stations set up and they have like
- 11:19Speaker 1: a full living room setup or like a couch setup,
- 11:22Speaker 1: and yeah, cool, and every year you pick a theme.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Was that coming on back then?
- 11:27Speaker 3: No, it started off real janky because I didn't know
- 11:31Speaker 3: what to like. Since then we pretty much like doubled
- 11:34Speaker 3: our space, which is nice because we're not so on
- 11:37Speaker 3: top of each other, even though we're still on top
- 11:39Speaker 3: of each other. But when we first and I tell
- 11:42Speaker 3: me if I'm wrong, I don't know, it was very
- 11:43Speaker 3: much like an alts rock thing, so like our old
- 11:48Speaker 3: rock stations were there like in the in the city,
- 11:51Speaker 3: but not like mainstream like we are. So I feel
- 11:53Speaker 3: like I was sort of I like to think like
- 11:56Speaker 3: I was like sort of the first pop princess to
- 11:58Speaker 3: like get in and be like, oh, yeah, stuff, you
- 12:00Speaker 3: know what I mean? Yeah, And that sort of like
- 12:02Speaker 3: sends the shift of like the line up to where
- 12:04Speaker 3: now it's like super pop heavy, not so all, not
- 12:09Speaker 3: so alternative and not so rock. But yeah, I think
- 12:14Speaker 3: we now it's like so flip flop because now we
- 12:17Speaker 3: have tons of artists that we play or or align with,
- 12:22Speaker 3: whereas like on the rock out side, there's not you know,
- 12:25Speaker 3: like but on the when we first started, it was
- 12:27Speaker 3: definitely like flip flop. We were talking to people that
- 12:30Speaker 3: like we didn't even know, Like Kerry Ferrell was in
- 12:33Speaker 3: our tent and I was like, who is that? Like
- 12:36Speaker 3: you know what? It was just crazy.
- 12:39Speaker 1: But yeah, and just like some insider info is so
- 12:44Speaker 1: the media tent, like you you know, you go in
- 12:47Speaker 1: this like entrance like towards the end, and one thing
- 12:51Speaker 1: I do enjoy is you can bring any size back.
- 12:53Speaker 2: Because it's like an issue at those things.
- 12:56Speaker 1: But yeah, there's all the like podcast stations, even Hulu.
- 13:02Speaker 1: It's just literally all media who wants to cover La
- 13:06Speaker 1: la And it's right next to the artists. And so
- 13:08Speaker 1: like when it's time, the artists will get driven in
- 13:10Speaker 1: a golf cart or walk over and it's kind of
- 13:14Speaker 1: a hectic time because there's this like big media event
- 13:19Speaker 1: at a bar on Wednesday, and it's you know, you
- 13:23Speaker 1: can't go anywhere where. It's not like hey, like what'd
- 13:25Speaker 1: you come in? And like, you know, there's a lot
- 13:27Speaker 1: of that we met that random guy who's doing something
- 13:32Speaker 1: like sustainable last year.
- 13:33Speaker 2: I feel like you were with me for that, or
- 13:35Speaker 2: maybe you walked away or.
- 13:36Speaker 3: Maybe you remember.
- 13:38Speaker 1: I don't know whatever, and so that that's like a
- 13:40Speaker 1: whole thing to do the wristband pick up. But then yeah, backstage,
- 13:47Speaker 1: all these tents are lined up and you get to
- 13:51Speaker 1: see like even if someone isn't doing an interview with us,
- 13:54Speaker 1: you could just see all these people like walk through.
- 13:56Speaker 1: So I mean, I remember, you know, just getting to
- 13:58Speaker 1: see like Megan Morony like in the flash.
- 14:01Speaker 2: Always think that's so cool.
- 14:02Speaker 1: But what I was gonna say is Perry Farrell and
- 14:04Speaker 1: his wife are like the kings and queens of Balla
- 14:07Speaker 1: and I love it because his like hot wife always
- 14:10Speaker 1: prances around with her dogs and she's just like like
- 14:14Speaker 1: that would be so fun.
- 14:15Speaker 2: Like my husband started this, I.
- 14:16Speaker 1: Can walk anywhere, I can do anything, and that's always
- 14:20Speaker 1: really cool to see. But yeah, I mean, it's it's
- 14:22Speaker 1: such a cool thing to be able to see these
- 14:24Speaker 1: people either before they're big or when they're big. And
- 14:29Speaker 1: there's also a happy hour which people devour. But the
- 14:36Speaker 1: cut waters are flowing, but it's.
- 14:41Speaker 3: If they still have the cutwaters. This year because I
- 14:43Speaker 3: feel like the cut Waters Wi always get people in trouble.
- 14:45Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean listen, by that point, we're all kind
- 14:48Speaker 1: of delirious. It's hot, but it's also really stressful I
- 14:53Speaker 1: mean for you to organize.
- 14:55Speaker 2: But like so you then from.
- 14:56Speaker 1: There go okay, you know we're here, we have presents Thursday, Fridays, Saturday,
- 15:00Speaker 1: Sunday and then aked And even though you live you know,
- 15:08Speaker 1: semi close, you usually see a hotel and you still
- 15:10Speaker 1: get homesick when you're scratched out and just drove home,
- 15:15Speaker 1: which was wild. That was very wild of you.
- 15:19Speaker 2: But it's it's a time back there.
- 15:21Speaker 1: But it's a lot because even just doing some of
- 15:24Speaker 1: the interviews for you, it's like, okay, I still don't
- 15:28Speaker 1: know who I may be interviewing, which as someone who
- 15:30Speaker 1: like enjoys prepping, I mean I've gotten more comfortable and
- 15:33Speaker 1: casual with it over the years. But they're constantly changing
- 15:39Speaker 1: the times or like some times and then they'll go like, hey,
- 15:43Speaker 1: you know, just for example, she didn't do this, but
- 15:45Speaker 1: like Fletcher wants to come earlier, and so everything's very.
- 15:50Speaker 2: Least minute, or it could be a situation where it's like.
- 15:52Speaker 1: Hey, this person decided yes, or Hey, I'm going to
- 15:55Speaker 1: bring this person by the tent, can you have someone
- 15:57Speaker 1: interview them? So how do you, I.
- 15:59Speaker 2: Mean, how do you manage all of that?
- 16:03Speaker 1: Oh it's hey, I have a micoin you to set
- 16:07Speaker 1: it up.
- 16:08Speaker 3: But oh yeah, oh yeah. So it's like constant communication,
- 16:14Speaker 3: which is which is a lot. And I sort of like,
- 16:19Speaker 3: I don't know. I think I've evolved to where it's like, yeah,
- 16:23Speaker 3: I have a Google doc of like supposed times, but
- 16:26Speaker 3: like that's not probably going to stick. And I used
- 16:31Speaker 3: to always think like, well, if they're asking to come now,
- 16:35Speaker 3: we have to be ready now. And now I'm like
- 16:36Speaker 3: sort of switching to like, no, we agreed on a time,
- 16:39Speaker 3: like and also if I there's been times where I
- 16:42Speaker 3: had to be like can I get five minutes? And
- 16:44Speaker 3: the artist is like cool, Like they'll go get water,
- 16:46Speaker 3: they'll sit, they'll like whatever. Always we have to be like,
- 16:48Speaker 3: oh my god, like we gotta go, we gotta go,
- 16:50Speaker 3: we gotta go. And there are some that, you know,
- 16:52Speaker 3: we do have to do that, but there are some
- 16:55Speaker 3: that are more chill or whatever. And that's the only
- 16:57Speaker 3: part about having one space, especially for multiple brands that
- 17:02Speaker 3: we work with, like different stations, like because you know,
- 17:08Speaker 3: no one's ever on time, and but sometimes people are
- 17:10Speaker 3: early and it's like, oh, like those are such a
- 17:12Speaker 3: pleasant surprise when people are early, you know what I mean,
- 17:14Speaker 3: Like I don't know, I guess maybe you're like the
- 17:17Speaker 3: interviewer trying to get yourself psyched up and then someone
- 17:19Speaker 3: shows up unexpected. But I'll always take early over.
- 17:23Speaker 1: Late, for sure. And they over the years, I mean
- 17:27Speaker 1: obviously like radio was like the main goal and presence.
- 17:33Speaker 2: Some people on our station will do live.
- 17:34Speaker 1: Shows there, which is really obviously evolved to where like
- 17:39Speaker 1: video is a massive component and now you know, going
- 17:41Speaker 1: viral and all those things are helpful to our brand too.
- 17:44Speaker 1: So and you always have like a creative idea or
- 17:49Speaker 1: a theme going into it. How do you come up
- 17:53Speaker 1: with those? Because it's you want to you want to
- 17:54Speaker 1: do something different every year. My favorite thing is the
- 17:58Speaker 1: water gun like that because.
- 18:01Speaker 3: Like the artists of it, Yeah, it's such a.
- 18:03Speaker 1: Cool video and they like you watch them act.
- 18:05Speaker 3: Like, oh like we're having fun, right, and they like
- 18:08Speaker 3: to share cool stuff like that too. So that started
- 18:11Speaker 3: off with a cash gun. So back in the day
- 18:13Speaker 3: when they like first came out, we had a cash gun,
- 18:16Speaker 3: and everyone fucking loved the cash gun, like everyone thought
- 18:20Speaker 3: they were like balling in the club, like like just
- 18:24Speaker 3: like going crazy. And then after four days of having
- 18:28Speaker 3: to pick up cash every single time, I was like,
- 18:33Speaker 3: fuck that, so let me try to figure out what
- 18:36Speaker 3: else we could do. And then now like the ongoing
- 18:39Speaker 3: joke is like we have the bubble the bubble guns,
- 18:43Speaker 3: and every year I just buy a bigger version of it.
- 18:47Speaker 3: So that's what we're doing. And I also like, I
- 18:50Speaker 3: don't know, I think maybe it's just in my own brain,
- 18:52Speaker 3: but I think we've become synonymous with like releasing bubbles everywhere,
- 18:56Speaker 3: and it just like changes the vibe. Like I don't know,
- 18:59Speaker 3: I would hate if like anything felt like super stuffy
- 19:02Speaker 3: or whatever. And it's something that like something easy that
- 19:06Speaker 3: a lot of people don't get to do very often,
- 19:08Speaker 3: Like when when have you seen I've never seen a
- 19:11Speaker 3: bubble god being used outside of our times at Lalla Ballooza,
- 19:14Speaker 3: Like I mean I've seen them, like you know, on video,
- 19:16Speaker 3: but never like out in the real world. So I
- 19:19Speaker 3: don't know, I just think it's cool like that people
- 19:21Speaker 3: like to do it. And also like I don't know,
- 19:23Speaker 3: we try to get creative, like we work with different designers.
- 19:26Speaker 3: We're doing more of like a floral, bright sort of
- 19:31Speaker 3: theme this year. Last year we did like the paper
- 19:35Speaker 3: lanterns and more like sleek. This year we're doing more
- 19:38Speaker 3: like floral festival, like a lot more fake plants, a
- 19:42Speaker 3: lot more fake flowers, so they'll be a little bit
- 19:45Speaker 3: more bright and exciting.
- 19:49Speaker 1: Where'd you get that idea or like, where does it
- 19:51Speaker 1: come to you? Can you hear when I'm getting an
- 19:53Speaker 1: email or no oh no, oh, okay, goodness, I'm getting emails.
- 19:58Speaker 3: I really leave it up. I had a call with
- 20:00Speaker 3: the designer and I sort of go through, Okay, this
- 20:02Speaker 3: is what we did last year, this is what we
- 20:03Speaker 3: did the year before, Like let's try to come up
- 20:05Speaker 3: with something different, and this is the designer's idea to
- 20:09Speaker 3: sort of go full flower child. So I think it'll
- 20:14Speaker 3: be cool. It's very intricate, So tomorrow is gonna Tomorrow
- 20:20Speaker 3: is low. Well, this is we're recording this on Tuesday,
- 20:22Speaker 3: so Wednesday is when we set everything up. So that's
- 20:25Speaker 3: going to be a long day because it's there's a
- 20:27Speaker 3: lot of pieces that are coming in. But it'll be cool.
- 20:31Speaker 3: And we also sort of like reimagine our bucket of
- 20:39Speaker 3: random questions every year, so we redid that this year too,
- 20:44Speaker 3: And I don't know, I think that sort of like
- 20:45Speaker 3: lightens the mood, especially because you're not going like full
- 20:48Speaker 3: in depth Barbara Walter's interview, Like sometimes people just want to,
- 20:51Speaker 3: you know, which way do you lean your head when
- 20:53Speaker 3: you eat a taco? You know, like sometimes people just
- 20:56Speaker 3: want to like me as that, you know, Like so,
- 20:59Speaker 3: I don't know, we come up now, It's like not
- 21:01Speaker 3: so like I used to always think that we had
- 21:04Speaker 3: to do these like super serious sit down like let's
- 21:06Speaker 3: talk about the depths of your music sort of interviews.
- 21:10Speaker 3: But sometimes I think like too, it's all the palooza.
- 21:12Speaker 3: It's fun. Like these artists just want to have a
- 21:13Speaker 3: good time and and do something light and cheery. So
- 21:16Speaker 3: that's sort of more the vibe for this year.
- 21:19Speaker 1: Yeah, and like I think they have such like I
- 21:22Speaker 1: think that they really appreciate the switch up and yeah
- 21:26Speaker 1: different and like watching all the artists like who you
- 21:29Speaker 1: know some are super famous, just get so damn excited
- 21:32Speaker 1: about the bubbles gum.
- 21:33Speaker 3: Yeah, I was looking for a sample one because someone
- 21:38Speaker 3: I don't know, someone on someone's team who remained anonymous
- 21:42Speaker 3: for this year. Asked me, so, what is a bubble gun?
- 21:45Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't know how to answer that questioner, I.
- 21:48Speaker 1: Have a video of me, And who's the guy who
- 21:52Speaker 1: did the Billie Eilish?
- 21:55Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh god, I know, I remember his name
- 22:01Speaker 3: so fun.
- 22:02Speaker 1: He was one of my favorite interviews. I forget his name,
- 22:04Speaker 1: but I have one on I think, on my TikTok
- 22:06Speaker 1: and Instagram if you need it.
- 22:08Speaker 3: Well, I thought I went. I scrolled back through like
- 22:10Speaker 3: our station handle and I was like, Okay, here's Martin
- 22:13Speaker 3: Garrick's looking like the happiest man alive, shooting above the gun.
- 22:17Speaker 3: I know this is what it looks like. This is
- 22:19Speaker 3: a bubble gun.
- 22:20Speaker 1: I think that that the key is finding something that
- 22:23Speaker 1: like unlocks their inner child or something that they don't,
- 22:25Speaker 1: you know, to break the interviews up, because sometimes they
- 22:27Speaker 1: can be doing like all the stations or whatever. Yeah,
- 22:31Speaker 1: just to like riff do, like I figured we could
- 22:35Speaker 1: share some of our favorite moments, like yeah, age, yeah,
- 22:39Speaker 1: is anything coming to mind for you first?
- 22:41Speaker 3: Yeah? I don't know. This is gonna sound cheesy, but
- 22:43Speaker 3: I look at this weekend as sort of like adult
- 22:46Speaker 3: summer camp. Like I don't know. I never went to
- 22:48Speaker 3: summer camp as a kid, so I don't know if
- 22:50Speaker 3: it's one hundred percent like this, but I feel like
- 22:52Speaker 3: it's like you get you're almost forced to spend time
- 22:56Speaker 3: with people that you work with and you're working, but
- 22:58Speaker 3: it's also more of like a lighthart happy So my
- 23:01Speaker 3: favorite moments honestly aren't even like artists related. It's more
- 23:05Speaker 3: just like hanging out and like having our happy hour
- 23:08Speaker 3: singalongs and like just like sort of letting our hair
- 23:13Speaker 3: down a little bit. Like and that's the stuff you
- 23:15Speaker 3: can't really like, not that you can't, but like you
- 23:18Speaker 3: can't really describe to like our bosses that are like,
- 23:22Speaker 3: you know, what do you guys do? I'm like, yes,
- 23:24Speaker 3: we're working really hard, but also like it's team building,
- 23:27Speaker 3: it's bonding, it's fun. It's like and a lot of
- 23:29Speaker 3: people like we don't get to see the night jocks
- 23:31Speaker 3: that often because we're there so early in the morning,
- 23:33Speaker 3: but like, you know, you know, Lil Couz will be
- 23:36Speaker 3: there or like you know, like I don't know, like
- 23:39Speaker 3: and that's sort of like my favorite sort of moments.
- 23:42Speaker 3: I mean probably like top moments of.
- 23:49Speaker 1: Well and first of all, An example of that, which
- 23:51Speaker 1: like is also one of my favorite moments, is when
- 23:53Speaker 1: we were all just like cause it can be I mean,
- 23:55Speaker 1: like you by all means have a much longer day,
- 23:58Speaker 1: but sometimes you know, it can be I feel like
- 24:00Speaker 1: I typically take Saturday as like my full day, and
- 24:05Speaker 1: some of them are really I mean, one Saturday, I
- 24:07Speaker 1: think I had like five or seven interviews, so you know,
- 24:11Speaker 1: I don't know, it's not like I'm not digging ditches,
- 24:12Speaker 1: but it is like for me, like an exchange of energy,
- 24:15Speaker 1: and I try to myself on prep and whatever. And
- 24:18Speaker 1: so by the end, I think my favorite moment was
- 24:20Speaker 1: us were we singing?
- 24:22Speaker 2: Was it Avri Llevine?
- 24:25Speaker 1: I haves like so organically or organically as someone I
- 24:30Speaker 1: know that it just like happened like that. And then
- 24:35Speaker 1: first of all, every other tent was looking at us,
- 24:37Speaker 1: but we just screaming it because I think we all
- 24:39Speaker 1: just like needed a release. I was like up on
- 24:42Speaker 1: the table because usually it's around, like I said, my birthdays,
- 24:46Speaker 1: so usually I'm like at least trying to you know,
- 24:48Speaker 1: enjoy the day. But people just pulled out their phones.
- 24:52Speaker 1: But yeah, other tents were looking at us, and like
- 24:54Speaker 1: I have not seen any other tent like have that
- 24:58Speaker 1: like pure of a moment, And we did after that
- 25:00Speaker 1: one on video and shared it, and that's one of
- 25:02Speaker 1: the things you're talking about.
- 25:03Speaker 3: But I was just thinking like top moments. I think
- 25:07Speaker 3: like one of our first moments when it was just
- 25:10Speaker 3: like honestly, it might have been our first year or
- 25:12Speaker 3: even second year, but it was just me and my
- 25:15Speaker 3: and our coworker Brady though we were the only two
- 25:17Speaker 3: that worked Lollapalooza that year, and Perry Ferrell like thought
- 25:23Speaker 3: he had an interview, so he just like literally fell
- 25:27Speaker 3: into our tent and his like sat down and his
- 25:32Speaker 3: manager was like, are you gonna talk to Perry Ferrell?
- 25:34Speaker 3: And Brady was like, uh yeah. So like I'm like
- 25:37Speaker 3: running like setting up like the cameras or whatever, getting
- 25:40Speaker 3: them mics, and I was like, holy shit, Like it's
- 25:43Speaker 3: just like you know, like times like that and things
- 25:45Speaker 3: like that that you alluded to, especially with Perry, where
- 25:47Speaker 3: it's like you don't think you're gonna see these things
- 25:50Speaker 3: or experience these things until it happens and you're like,
- 25:53Speaker 3: holy shit, you know. I got to interview Landy Wilson,
- 25:57Speaker 3: which was my first interview like in person, I think
- 26:00Speaker 3: ever was Lady Wilson, which is absolutely literally my favorite,
- 26:06Speaker 3: like absolutely insane, So that was cool, I meant, by
- 26:12Speaker 3: the way, Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I honestly, like, I
- 26:16Speaker 3: take big pride in the fact that you got an
- 26:19Speaker 3: interview with twice last year because we were the only
- 26:22Speaker 3: radio outlet to get them. So I sort of like
- 26:26Speaker 3: like the fact that we were able to like secure
- 26:30Speaker 3: that and and it was a lot of work pre
- 26:33Speaker 3: because I look behind the curtain. K pop acts are
- 26:37Speaker 3: very brand safe and brand aware, so there's a lot
- 26:42Speaker 3: of and there's a lot of people involved. Their camps
- 26:45Speaker 3: are huge, and they roll super deep. And I just remember,
- 26:48Speaker 3: like you doing the interview, when I turned around and
- 26:50Speaker 3: like looked outside our tent, it was like an army
- 26:52Speaker 3: of thirty people because like their camp is so fucking
- 26:56Speaker 3: huge of like management executives, and every single girl has
- 27:00Speaker 3: a makeup person and a hair person and there's like
- 27:02Speaker 3: nine girls in the group and we're just like, holy shit.
- 27:06Speaker 3: And the fact that like they just came in and
- 27:09Speaker 3: and did us and then want to go perform was
- 27:12Speaker 3: really cool. And yeah, I just think like some of
- 27:16Speaker 3: the larger artists like that we have gotten to have
- 27:19Speaker 3: in that, you know, we normally would not like especially
- 27:23Speaker 3: we've interviewed Dipplow, We've interviewed Martin Garrick's Like.
- 27:27Speaker 1: Who was I leaning on because we had already had
- 27:29Speaker 1: happy hours Caigoigo, I mean, I'm in love with Caigo.
- 27:35Speaker 1: So that was a fun my favorite thing and I
- 27:38Speaker 1: always like bring this up to you, but like, well
- 27:40Speaker 1: he's from Chicago and it was a fun interview. But
- 27:44Speaker 1: by that time, again, like the cutwater had come. He
- 27:48Speaker 1: was like, I'm deaf in one year, but this is
- 27:50Speaker 1: really good because you're very loud and you know what,
- 27:56Speaker 1: nack it off.
- 27:57Speaker 3: But no, that's funny, so funny.
- 28:00Speaker 1: I know, going back to twice, like and it's always
- 28:03Speaker 1: fun when there's a huge crowd watching you do an interview. Okay,
- 28:08Speaker 1: but those questions have to typically be reapproved.
- 28:11Speaker 2: You typically like memorize the order.
- 28:14Speaker 1: And then you're also working with a translator, so there
- 28:16Speaker 1: is a lot of moving part. That was my first
- 28:18Speaker 1: time doing an interview with a translator. I kind of
- 28:20Speaker 1: like wish we were able to capture that on video.
- 28:22Speaker 1: I think there was audio ye, but yeah, it's a
- 28:28Speaker 1: lot of moving parts, and so you're speaking to people
- 28:30Speaker 1: who don't necessarily know English, but like they know a
- 28:34Speaker 1: little bit so if I could get a question in
- 28:36Speaker 1: there where some of them would giggle, like when I asked.
- 28:39Speaker 2: Them to do, you know, like teach me a dance move.
- 28:42Speaker 1: They were really sweet. But yeah, going back to that, Yeah,
- 28:47Speaker 1: Lanie Wilson was like a favorite memory of just like
- 28:49Speaker 1: watching you do that because I knew how much like
- 28:51Speaker 1: you loved her. Yeah, to kind of be like harassed
- 28:55Speaker 1: into doing that, Like all try to like harass you
- 28:58Speaker 1: into doing things that like people you love, and I
- 29:01Speaker 1: know I do know, like it's sometimes really scary and
- 29:03Speaker 1: like you're just like, ah, too much or like I
- 29:06Speaker 1: love this person too much.
- 29:07Speaker 2: But that was fun. I'm trying to think of other people.
- 29:11Speaker 2: It was cool just to like see.
- 29:12Speaker 1: Megan Morony, like just walk back there, you know he
- 29:16Speaker 1: in person, She's so beautiful.
- 29:18Speaker 3: Who else, Oh, we had a moment with I don't
- 29:21Speaker 3: know if you remember if you were there, maybe you
- 29:22Speaker 3: were there. We had Cat's Eye in and this was
- 29:25Speaker 3: a year ago before like they got super big and
- 29:30Speaker 3: we got to do the old school thing of like
- 29:32Speaker 3: they got to introduce their song on the radio station
- 29:35Speaker 3: for the first time, and it was just like so
- 29:37Speaker 3: cool to Like, I don't know, you don't get those experiences,
- 29:40Speaker 3: especially like in this day and age, like a song
- 29:43Speaker 3: goes viral and then we just you know, have to
- 29:45Speaker 3: play it because it's everywhere and TikTok. But the fact
- 29:47Speaker 3: that like they got to be involved in that and
- 29:49Speaker 3: and that that was a pretty cool moment, especially now
- 29:52Speaker 3: looking at them and now they're like selling out you know,
- 29:54Speaker 3: the United Center and seconds. So that was a pretty
- 29:57Speaker 3: cool moment.
- 29:58Speaker 1: Yeah, in terms of radio aspect, and I've been I
- 30:05Speaker 1: pride myself on like knowing a good artist or like
- 30:09Speaker 1: if someone's gonna be big, and I won't shut up
- 30:11Speaker 1: about it. If I was right about it, that's like
- 30:13Speaker 1: one thing, like somebody should have listened to me. But
- 30:16Speaker 1: the year that I mean, and Noah con is like
- 30:20Speaker 1: so big right now. That year we even though he
- 30:26Speaker 1: was going to the media attends, he had us come
- 30:29Speaker 1: Onnesday the night before and you were kind enough to
- 30:31Speaker 1: come with me, And I think during that interview I
- 30:34Speaker 1: was able to tell him like we're about to play
- 30:36Speaker 1: you know, six season for the first time. Yeah, so
- 30:40Speaker 1: that was really amazing. Fletcher asking me if I wanted
- 30:45Speaker 1: her number is another uh favorite?
- 30:48Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I forgot I.
- 30:50Speaker 1: Should have Like I was like bashful when she said that,
- 30:53Speaker 1: like I should have given it to her.
- 30:57Speaker 2: But that was fun.
- 30:59Speaker 1: Who else? Oh, when I had my sister, So then
- 31:02Speaker 1: my sister is getting older and her friends are starting
- 31:04Speaker 1: to come to Lallapalooza. And when I had her friends
- 31:07Speaker 1: in town the year that, I gave them my apartment
- 31:09Speaker 1: and then like stayed with my ex further away just
- 31:13Speaker 1: so they could have the apartment. But I was getting
- 31:16Speaker 1: ready one morning and kind of jokingly being like, do
- 31:20Speaker 1: you guys want to prep for me?
- 31:21Speaker 2: Like I don't know this tom odell. I think it was.
- 31:24Speaker 1: Oh, my friend who is like a hysterical person, like
- 31:31Speaker 1: she's just a character in herself, but she basically was
- 31:34Speaker 1: like reading all this stuff online and she told me
- 31:36Speaker 1: like he has a cat and he.
- 31:38Speaker 2: Like wrote an entire album for his cat.
- 31:40Speaker 1: And then so I like just like trusted that because
- 31:45Speaker 1: and then you'll remember, like in the interview, I'm like,
- 31:48Speaker 1: so you wrote an album about a cat? And he
- 31:50Speaker 1: was so like kind but hysterical, and he like asked
- 31:53Speaker 1: his manager, He's like, do I have a cat? Like
- 31:56Speaker 1: is that true for you? In the interview, just like
- 31:59Speaker 1: bursting out and laughter because I actually should post that
- 32:03Speaker 1: because I think it.
- 32:04Speaker 3: It's so funny. Yes, oh my god, more.
- 32:07Speaker 1: Like, oh my god. So now we always joke about
- 32:11Speaker 1: her doing prep. There's been some big ones.
- 32:13Speaker 3: Like oh, I forgot, I'm just going through photos of
- 32:15Speaker 3: my yeah, and I forget. One year we were like
- 32:20Speaker 3: another thing that was so dumb and why I thought
- 32:23Speaker 3: we were gonna do. What's one thing that people always
- 32:26Speaker 3: wanted to do? People have always wanted to pour a
- 32:28Speaker 3: champagne tower, like that was what they wanted. So I
- 32:33Speaker 3: have video of Perry Farrell opening a champagne bottle getting
- 32:39Speaker 3: ready because we were like, okay, we have like one
- 32:41Speaker 3: shot at this before it's just a big fucking nis.
- 32:43Speaker 3: I just had a stack of I had nothing under
- 32:46Speaker 3: the cups. It was just a stack of champagne flats
- 32:50Speaker 3: on a table like no nowhere for it to catch,
- 32:53Speaker 3: and I was like, oh, it's just gonna go in
- 32:55Speaker 3: the glasses, like bitch, you dumb bitch, Like no, it's
- 32:57Speaker 3: not gonna go. It's gonna go everywhere. So we're like, okay,
- 33:01Speaker 3: we have one shot at this. So like Perry Farrell came,
- 33:04Speaker 3: We're like, obviously it has to be Pari Ferre. I'll
- 33:05Speaker 3: do it the fucking Champagne Tower. So I have video
- 33:09Speaker 3: of him like opening a champagne bottle getting ready to
- 33:11Speaker 3: pour it. That's so funny. Oh my god.
- 33:14Speaker 1: We can do like a photo dump of like all
- 33:17Speaker 1: the memories over the years, because there's people like even
- 33:19Speaker 1: when you brought up Mazie Peters on this podcast and
- 33:22Speaker 1: I was I think I interviewed, Like there's people you
- 33:24Speaker 1: forget because they're sometimes on the come up. But like
- 33:29Speaker 1: getting to interview with some of my favorites like Noah
- 33:32Speaker 1: Fletcher Tigo was like a massive deal for me and
- 33:37Speaker 1: just something that everyone was so jealous of because he's
- 33:40Speaker 1: so cute. I'm trying to think if there's anyone else
- 33:43Speaker 1: that off the top of my brain right now that
- 33:46Speaker 1: we get back there, that was.
- 33:47Speaker 2: Like a big deal. I mean, there's been a there's
- 33:51Speaker 2: been a lot.
- 33:51Speaker 1: We also did an interview with David the this oh
- 33:56Speaker 1: yeah allegedly, uh well he is going on trial for
- 34:02Speaker 1: the murder of that poor young girl. So like that
- 34:05Speaker 1: just like interviewing people and then like maybe something like
- 34:08Speaker 1: wild happens and you're like oh, like.
- 34:12Speaker 3: Yeah, like that doesn't age well no.
- 34:16Speaker 1: But yeah, there's been some really funny moments. Can you
- 34:18Speaker 1: think of anything before we any other ones?
- 34:19Speaker 3: Before I think that's it. I can't think of I
- 34:24Speaker 3: don't know. I feel like it all just blends together
- 34:27Speaker 3: and then I, like, you know, end up moving on
- 34:30Speaker 3: with life. You know, I don't know.
- 34:32Speaker 2: I know, Okay, hell on, let me just look at
- 34:33Speaker 2: Grant Park.
- 34:35Speaker 3: You know, I'm just like looking at like I love
- 34:37Speaker 3: the one year where we had the mural of the
- 34:41Speaker 3: the l like map, Yeah, Jason or Steve oh Man,
- 34:50Speaker 3: I forgot about Steve.
- 34:52Speaker 1: Oh this, there's like this weird K pop guy that
- 34:55Speaker 1: we have so many photos with.
- 34:58Speaker 2: I have those banks.
- 35:00Speaker 1: I also love when, like I love an artist that's
- 35:02Speaker 1: like not as mainstream, so like we get to talk, like,
- 35:06Speaker 1: I don't know Willow Smith, I see.
- 35:08Speaker 3: Ellen a J when I first met Ellien Agent.
- 35:14Speaker 4: Let's see who else. Let's see oh Xander, that influencer.
- 35:21Speaker 4: Oh yeah, they're Alex Earl's like alleged like friend of me,
- 35:26Speaker 4: your former friend of here.
- 35:27Speaker 2: Here's Kaigo. I'm definitely leaning on his ass.
- 35:30Speaker 1: Barrett God, Oh, I love you were like very worried
- 35:35Speaker 1: about like the relationship that she was in at the time.
- 35:37Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it was Yeah, that was that dynamic was odd.
- 35:41Speaker 1: Yeah, well being yeah.
- 35:44Speaker 3: Oh I forgot I met Tase I loved Yeah.
- 35:53Speaker 1: And then just being able to like sneak out and
- 35:55Speaker 1: see shows along the way.
- 35:56Speaker 2: I mean seeing I love.
- 35:58Speaker 1: When like someone gets booked, you know, at a time
- 36:01Speaker 1: where they're not as big, and then over the year
- 36:03Speaker 1: and they outgrow the stage sometimes. I mean I didn't
- 36:06Speaker 1: get to see the Chapel show. I did get to
- 36:07Speaker 1: interview her before, like the night before she became famous,
- 36:10Speaker 1: which was actually pretty and I'm just glad she was
- 36:16Speaker 1: nice to me. But the Noah Con show, they must
- 36:21Speaker 1: have booked him when he was smaller and like you
- 36:23Speaker 1: could barely even see him at all. And then last year,
- 36:28Speaker 1: sneaking out and seeing Gracie Abrams was like one of
- 36:31Speaker 1: the most spiritual experiences, like all girls and gays, I
- 36:34Speaker 1: felt so safe. We were I went with our Maria Palmer,
- 36:40Speaker 1: our friend and co ho Y and just like screaming
- 36:43Speaker 1: that and then she brought out Robin So it's it's
- 36:46Speaker 1: their definitely really cool things that we could like sneak out.
- 36:49Speaker 1: Who did we see out and see? That was like
- 36:51Speaker 1: La la Poloosa was that.
- 36:52Speaker 3: Was that I don't remember.
- 36:58Speaker 1: I know, well I have to look through photo and share.
- 37:02Speaker 1: But yeah, the cutwater has been like anuited. Oh, this
- 37:05Speaker 1: is what I wanted to talk about. One of my
- 37:07Speaker 1: favorite freaking memories is each year, we're usually right beside
- 37:11Speaker 1: so I'm from Detroit IF and we were right.
- 37:15Speaker 2: Beside Miss Haley Jade's podcast set up.
- 37:18Speaker 1: And one year, because Eminem obviously like he sends his
- 37:24Speaker 1: he sent his sound guy and I think maybe his
- 37:26Speaker 1: lawyer or like whatever to kind of be handlers for
- 37:31Speaker 1: Miss Haley. Yeah, and one year it was just like
- 37:35Speaker 1: piss and rain and we were in the tent and
- 37:39Speaker 1: these two guys came over and they were like, hey,
- 37:42Speaker 1: can we hang out with you guys like you seem fun?
- 37:44Speaker 2: Can we sit here?
- 37:45Speaker 1: Were just chatting and you're behind him trying his mouth
- 37:47Speaker 1: like he works for Eminem, he worked from and I'm
- 37:53Speaker 1: like what And then like finally we realized we got
- 37:55Speaker 1: his number and so we you know, have talked on
- 37:58Speaker 1: and off and seen him and that was just like
- 37:59Speaker 1: a really crazy, like full circle moment for me, like
- 38:03Speaker 1: he is and I even walked over and said like
- 38:05Speaker 1: could we have her on? And they didn't really want,
- 38:06Speaker 1: you know, I think they try to protect her, which
- 38:08Speaker 1: I get, but that was a really like being like
- 38:11Speaker 1: getting his sound guy's number and just like being so.
- 38:15Speaker 3: Close in that yeah, and putting us right next to her.
- 38:18Speaker 1: Yeah, and then they just like asked if they could
- 38:20Speaker 1: hang out with us, which was so hysterical and funny.
- 38:25Speaker 1: So like just random weird things happen. And then you
- 38:28Speaker 1: see these crazy like these people in like crazy outfits
- 38:31Speaker 1: who walk by and you don't know who they are.
- 38:32Speaker 1: But yeah, it's definitely a time there steering nun shout out. Yeah,
- 38:41Speaker 1: you get to see all the media personality, who's who
- 38:46Speaker 1: it is, and like it's all the same characters. Oh gosh,
- 38:50Speaker 1: my girl Lauren with pink hair, he comes over.
- 38:54Speaker 2: I get to see her, get to see everyone.
- 38:56Speaker 1: So it's a vibe and it's a time.
- 38:59Speaker 3: Yeah, this actually got me excited. I know I was
- 39:05Speaker 3: dreading it, but no, yeah.
- 39:08Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it's it is like camp I
- 39:11Speaker 2: do look.
- 39:11Speaker 1: At it that way, you know, you know, and just
- 39:15Speaker 1: there and I don't know, it's it's it's definitely something
- 39:18Speaker 1: I feel very like lucky that we're able to do,
- 39:21Speaker 1: especially like a festival that I grew up going to
- 39:25Speaker 1: and yeah. I mean there's been times when I've been
- 39:27Speaker 1: able to like bring some friends back there and like
- 39:29Speaker 1: show them how it works. My friend Alley, which is
- 39:32Speaker 1: just like great memories. So yeah, shout out, and it is.
- 39:35Speaker 1: It is commencing.
- 39:37Speaker 3: Yes, it is starting. Whether we're ready or not, it's starting.
- 39:41Speaker 2: Take your bets on when Jason's going to freak out
- 39:44Speaker 2: and drive home. Yeah, an hour away.
- 39:49Speaker 1: But okay, what's your number one?
- 39:52Speaker 3: So I'll do my music one and right now it's
- 39:54Speaker 3: my It's my girl, Ella Lingley. She is everywhere right now.
- 40:00Speaker 3: She is blowing up. I think she just beat out
- 40:03Speaker 3: Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston for the longest running Billboard
- 40:06Speaker 3: number one by a female for choosing Texas. The album
- 40:11Speaker 3: Dandelion is so good. Every single song is well written,
- 40:18Speaker 3: well produced. I'm trying to think of what my favorite
- 40:23Speaker 3: song on there is. There's one called Broken that's really
- 40:29Speaker 3: good and it's just she's basically just saying, like, just
- 40:32Speaker 3: give me time, let me be broken, which is nice.
- 40:37Speaker 3: There's one song that I really really love. I'm trying
- 40:40Speaker 3: to remember the name of it, hold On where Are You?
- 40:47Speaker 3: It's about sort of like my dream of just like
- 40:49Speaker 3: selling everything and moving into the middle of nowhere, like
- 40:54Speaker 3: it is called something Simple. Miranda Lambert's featured on it.
- 40:59Speaker 3: One of the songs, there's like an old school intro
- 41:03Speaker 3: and outro, which I feel like artists don't do anymore
- 41:06Speaker 3: that often. It's very like two thousands coded. And then
- 41:09Speaker 3: I also love her rollout because obviously she's like working
- 41:12Speaker 3: this album. She has singles. I think they do this
- 41:14Speaker 3: a lot in country too, but it's like when you
- 41:16Speaker 3: get a good song, you just put it out. And
- 41:18Speaker 3: now she's like battling herself for number one with her
- 41:20Speaker 3: song with Morgan Wallen, which is crazy. So she really
- 41:24Speaker 3: is like country's itchro right now. She got some bangs
- 41:26Speaker 3: and just like took Off and Dandelion is one of
- 41:31Speaker 3: like the really good albums for you to listen to
- 41:33Speaker 3: on vinyl, Like I have that on my vinyl player
- 41:35Speaker 3: right now, just because it's I don't know, it's just
- 41:39Speaker 3: there's old school country, there's pop country, there's like some bluegrass,
- 41:43Speaker 3: there's like a little bit of blues in some of it.
- 41:45Speaker 3: Like it's really good. So Ell Lingley, I'm obsessed with
- 41:49Speaker 3: her work.
- 41:50Speaker 1: For the Wind is my jam.
- 41:52Speaker 3: Ooh, yes, that's a good song. Yeah, she just I
- 41:56Speaker 3: don't know, and she tackles like writing stuff's about love,
- 42:01Speaker 3: stuff's about getting out of a relationship, songs about sort
- 42:05Speaker 3: of like living on your own and like being confident
- 42:08Speaker 3: in yourself or or getting confident in yourself. Like she
- 42:11Speaker 3: just like one album, there's not like a cohesive theme.
- 42:14Speaker 3: It's sort of like like every song is good and
- 42:18Speaker 3: all fits together. But I love that she sort of
- 42:20Speaker 3: attacks it and talks about just life and love in
- 42:23Speaker 3: like different ways. It's it's pretty cool, and she's open
- 42:26Speaker 3: about how you know, she's hustling so hard and she's
- 42:29Speaker 3: on the road and she like wants to go back
- 42:31Speaker 3: to like sitting on her front porch without a lick
- 42:34Speaker 3: of makeup on, waiting for her man to come home,
- 42:36Speaker 3: like stringing the guitar with her dog. Like you know,
- 42:39Speaker 3: just I think when you sort of like hit that
- 42:41Speaker 3: wall and you sort of just become really you know,
- 42:44Speaker 3: burnt out or whatever. Like that's real. And I love
- 42:46Speaker 3: that she, you know, is still on the rise, but
- 42:49Speaker 3: she's still sort of like I'm working my ass off
- 42:50Speaker 3: out here and it's not easy, you know. So yeah,
- 42:54Speaker 3: so authentic and real.
- 42:56Speaker 2: Yeah, and she's sassy too.
- 42:57Speaker 1: Like you know, she was in that alleged love Trying,
- 43:00Speaker 1: but like he still has to do stuff with Riley Green.
- 43:03Speaker 1: Yeah that she just like is sassy to him. Yeah
- 43:07Speaker 1: you know I love I really like her and uh
- 43:13Speaker 1: not to bring him up, but Noah Kn's Netflix documentary.
- 43:16Speaker 1: He talks a ton about that and like I love
- 43:18Speaker 1: it so much, Like he fully moves moved to Nashville
- 43:22Speaker 1: and like just hated it, Like he was like everything
- 43:25Speaker 1: that I Every conversation is like are you in the studio,
- 43:29Speaker 1: and like what do you you know, what are you
- 43:30Speaker 1: working on? And he's like he really like wants people
- 43:33Speaker 1: to just like know him for being like who he
- 43:36Speaker 1: was before. And I think that's like a lot of
- 43:38Speaker 1: artists like eminem where they're so talented and they want
- 43:41Speaker 1: to do what they love, but like they don't want
- 43:43Speaker 1: what comes along with it, and I respect it.
- 43:45Speaker 2: Like Noah literally just moved back to where he's.
- 43:47Speaker 1: From and like he was like I can't I don't
- 43:49Speaker 1: want to be in Nashville anymore. And like even if
- 43:51Speaker 1: he talks in the documentary, like he's like I I
- 43:54Speaker 1: have like writer's block, Like this isn't fun for.
- 43:57Speaker 2: Me anymore, And like one of his lyric is like.
- 44:00Speaker 1: I'm always selling something and like or he'll talk about
- 44:03Speaker 1: how like from another perspective, like you're not a One
- 44:07Speaker 1: of lyrics is you're not a goddamn hero now because
- 44:09Speaker 1: you cry on live TV just like you know, like
- 44:13Speaker 1: being grappling with like the fame of it all. And yeah,
- 44:16Speaker 1: his sweet wife who was like, yeah, I'm just a teacher,
- 44:19Speaker 1: and I thought we were just gonna like this was
- 44:20Speaker 1: going to be our life and then like he became
- 44:22Speaker 1: Noa Khan. So I like the honesty of that, because yeah,
- 44:27Speaker 1: it's like when your music is like an outlet and
- 44:29Speaker 1: fun like it was for him during COVID when he
- 44:31Speaker 1: really like popped off a sixties and like, I feel
- 44:34Speaker 1: like it can become very unfun and I respect him
- 44:38Speaker 1: being like, no, I want to go like I want
- 44:39Speaker 1: to go back home, like I want to live this
- 44:40Speaker 1: small life. I don't live it is not for me.
- 44:43Speaker 1: But like he's still so beloved that, like he still
- 44:46Speaker 1: has the following and everything, so I.
- 44:48Speaker 3: Really it sucks. I feel like I don't know, I
- 44:51Speaker 3: feel like that sometimes on like obviously a way smaller level.
- 44:53Speaker 3: I'm nowhere near as successful as Noah kan or I
- 44:58Speaker 3: would disagree, but it's like, you know, I think it's
- 45:02Speaker 3: like everyone has a dream or everyone has goals or
- 45:05Speaker 3: stuff that they want to obtain, and I feel like
- 45:10Speaker 3: it gets romanticized right where it's like, oh, like it's
- 45:14Speaker 3: going to be perfect, like if I can just reach here,
- 45:16Speaker 3: if I can do this, like it's it, I'll be
- 45:20Speaker 3: perfect and I'll be set and I'll be whatever. But
- 45:23Speaker 3: not to sound pessimistic, but nothing's perfect, right, and there's
- 45:26Speaker 3: downsides with everything. So I think there is a certain
- 45:29Speaker 3: kind of disappointment when you're sort of like, Okay, this
- 45:33Speaker 3: is all I've ever wanted to do or this is whatever,
- 45:35Speaker 3: and there's some bad parts to it. Cause I think
- 45:37Speaker 3: that there's people don't think about that on the way up.
- 45:39Speaker 3: You know, you just sort of look at the goal
- 45:41Speaker 3: and you're like, this is where I want to be,
- 45:44Speaker 3: but you don't see all that. You don't think about
- 45:47Speaker 3: or take the time to think because you're probably grinding
- 45:50Speaker 3: so hard to get there about when you finally get there,
- 45:53Speaker 3: what may disappoint you or what you may be unhappy
- 45:55Speaker 3: with or or whatever. And I love when people are
- 45:59Speaker 3: honest about that and it's not all just like sparkles
- 46:02Speaker 3: and rainbows, because nothing in life is, you know, and
- 46:04Speaker 3: that's real and authentic.
- 46:06Speaker 1: Yeah, deck Shepper talks about that a lot. It's like
- 46:09Speaker 1: I thought when I had this amount of money or whatever,
- 46:11Speaker 1: and that's like very American culture. It's like we all
- 46:13Speaker 1: think like I'll feel this way once I get there,
- 46:17Speaker 1: and he's like, I still look in the mirror, like
- 46:19Speaker 1: I still fucking hate myself. Like it's not and obviously
- 46:21Speaker 1: like easier for him to say because now his bills
- 46:23Speaker 1: are paid, and I don't think there's a lot of
- 46:25Speaker 1: sympathy for that, but I do think it's.
- 46:27Speaker 2: Like a very real thing.
- 46:28Speaker 1: And when you have a job that like some people
- 46:32Speaker 1: dream of or that seems so fun and so glamorous,
- 46:35Speaker 1: like people don't necessarily always give you the space or
- 46:39Speaker 1: like want to give you the space to where it's
- 46:41Speaker 1: like there's hardships to it because like from the outside
- 46:44Speaker 1: it's like okay, but like this is what you're doing
- 46:46Speaker 1: every day. So yeah, it is an interesting conversation and
- 46:49Speaker 1: like hitting your goals and like reassessing and being like, Okay,
- 46:54Speaker 1: how does this all work?
- 46:55Speaker 3: So it's very interesting.
- 46:56Speaker 2: But yeah, I really like Ela too.
- 46:58Speaker 1: Yeah, on that kind of line in terms of my music.
- 47:02Speaker 1: One for this week Phoebe Bridgers, who I have not
- 47:05Speaker 1: been able to see live yet. I just I think
- 47:08Speaker 1: I've probably put her in my top five before. I
- 47:12Speaker 1: really love her songwriting. That's actually someone that I talked
- 47:15Speaker 1: to noahkan about and like one of her one of
- 47:17Speaker 1: his like you know, songwriters that he loves and like
- 47:21Speaker 1: she has like her.
- 47:22Speaker 2: And Taylor like for example, like they're very good songwriters.
- 47:24Speaker 1: They're very good friends. But like Phoebe and I haven't
- 47:27Speaker 1: really heard this like this overt before, but like she
- 47:32Speaker 1: is a literal songwriter show. So it's like it'll be
- 47:36Speaker 1: like like it's a shower beer or like she'll say
- 47:41Speaker 1: like things that are literally like in front of her,
- 47:43Speaker 1: like you said this, and I said that there was
- 47:45Speaker 1: a green cop And I think there's something really like
- 47:49Speaker 1: I don't know, like I like that she has that
- 47:52Speaker 1: significant style of writing.
- 47:53Speaker 2: And I also really freaking love that she is.
- 47:57Speaker 1: Doing or what was doing a I don't know if
- 47:59Speaker 1: she's going to and full tour with it, but like
- 48:01Speaker 1: a no phone.
- 48:02Speaker 3: Show and then she I did hear that, Yeah.
- 48:05Speaker 1: Yeah, she did want an MSG and she made the
- 48:07Speaker 1: tickets cheap and literally everyone got paper tickets. You were
- 48:11Speaker 1: forbidden from having like even pens and ship like she
- 48:15Speaker 1: just like wanted everyone to be present. I think a
- 48:16Speaker 1: lot of people are going back to that, but I
- 48:19Speaker 1: don't know. She's like thinking outside of the box. And
- 48:21Speaker 1: I think she's another one that like is so talented
- 48:23Speaker 1: and effortless lip.
- 48:30Speaker 2: I'm like crashing right now if you can tell. We've
- 48:32Speaker 2: been up for so long.
- 48:33Speaker 1: But she's just like someone who doesn't like really care
- 48:36Speaker 1: about like the whole like fame situation.
- 48:39Speaker 2: And I really liked that she was doing the No
- 48:41Speaker 2: Phone Show.
- 48:42Speaker 1: I think that's really good. That's cool and cheap tickets
- 48:44Speaker 1: and people had paper tickets, like they had to tickets.
- 48:48Speaker 2: And you had to lock your phone away.
- 48:49Speaker 1: So she's just she's just a badass and she's cool,
- 48:52Speaker 1: and yeah, I love her. I love her music.
- 48:57Speaker 2: And she's coming out with an album that's probably gonna wreck.
- 48:59Speaker 3: Me sad Girl summer.
- 49:02Speaker 1: Everyone's albums hitting because this summer, like literally what the fuck?
- 49:07Speaker 3: Bro? My next one is a podcast and it actually
- 49:14Speaker 3: crosses worlds with the Real Housewives. It's have you heard
- 49:21Speaker 3: of the podcast Legally Brunette No, but.
- 49:25Speaker 2: My screen name was Legalie Brown.
- 49:29Speaker 3: So it's hosted by Emily Simpson. Choose the Real Housewives
- 49:33Speaker 3: of Orange County. Did you watch that one?
- 49:36Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 49:36Speaker 1: Why are you listening to that?
- 49:40Speaker 3: Because they have a true crime podcast and you know
- 49:43Speaker 3: I love true crime and she does it with her
- 49:46Speaker 3: husband Shane. Oh no, are they problematic? But it's really good.
- 49:54Speaker 3: I like I think they're They have a really good
- 49:56Speaker 3: dynamic together. They picked like one case per episode and
- 50:00Speaker 3: sort of like tell the story about the case and
- 50:04Speaker 3: it more ties into like if there's a Hulu documentary
- 50:06Speaker 3: or some form of like visual aid that goes along
- 50:08Speaker 3: with it. But are they both lawyers? I don't know
- 50:13Speaker 3: that much.
- 50:14Speaker 1: But yeah, they're very honest. It's very funny. Like he's Mormon.
- 50:19Speaker 1: He's like half her size and.
- 50:21Speaker 3: Yeah he's very small on their photo.
- 50:23Speaker 1: Yeah, like doesn't really like I don't know, he's just
- 50:26Speaker 1: like he's the personality. She was a lawyer, like the
- 50:30Speaker 1: whole time she's on the shore.
- 50:31Speaker 2: She's been a lawyer for a long time.
- 50:33Speaker 1: She actually like instead of fully practicing now just as
- 50:36Speaker 1: like charity low stuff, so helping people their cases whatever.
- 50:40Speaker 1: But yes, but he took like four or five times.
- 50:45Speaker 1: I forget how many times you have like to pass
- 50:47Speaker 1: the bar, and like very honest because he been a
- 50:50Speaker 1: lawyer the whole time. But the way that they met
- 50:54Speaker 1: and got married, like they were literally just like coworkers.
- 50:57Speaker 1: And he asked her, I think on like the chair,
- 51:02Speaker 1: he was like, should we just like get married? And
- 51:04Speaker 1: it was so unromantic, but it's so real. They're so
- 51:07Speaker 1: honest about their relationship. He like randomly loves like ask
- 51:11Speaker 1: stuff with her, so like that doesn't seem right, but like,
- 51:15Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just it's they have a son
- 51:17Speaker 1: who is on the spectrum. I think he deals with autism,
- 51:22Speaker 1: So I don't know. It's just like they're very honest
- 51:24Speaker 1: and she's very blunt and honest and show their relationship
- 51:27Speaker 1: in a very much like it's not all romantic way.
- 51:30Speaker 1: They've gone through some stuff. His mom is hysterical, but yeah,
- 51:35Speaker 1: she fully drinks and swears and whatever, and he's the
- 51:39Speaker 1: literal opposite of her. But they're they're they're very funny
- 51:42Speaker 1: and I cannot believe you're listening to that, but yeah
- 51:43Speaker 1: they are. They do now both have a lot.
- 51:46Speaker 3: Of degrees in our lawyers, so okay, Yeah, I just
- 51:49Speaker 3: like it's like they're usually less than an hour episodes,
- 51:54Speaker 3: so usually takes me like two days per episode in
- 51:56Speaker 3: the car. What's it called, uh legally brunette. Yeah, and
- 52:05Speaker 3: I I don't know. I just like their dynamic. I
- 52:08Speaker 3: like how they She like rags on him and he
- 52:10Speaker 3: sort of takes it like. I just think they're fun
- 52:13Speaker 3: and it just sounds it's just different. It's not so
- 52:18Speaker 3: like Newsy. It's more like, you know, like I don't know,
- 52:20Speaker 3: they're like snarky about it and whatever. Like I like them.
- 52:24Speaker 3: I like them together. That So they ended up on
- 52:29Speaker 3: the feed of Amy and TJ, which I know I've
- 52:33Speaker 3: talked about them before, but they've like sort of I
- 52:35Speaker 3: think they might even like I think like from my understanding,
- 52:39Speaker 3: they're sort of starting like their podcast network and so
- 52:42Speaker 3: like somehow that podcast has like fallen under their network now.
- 52:46Speaker 3: And so I just had their like network on, like
- 52:50Speaker 3: their playlist going, and one of their episodes just started
- 52:52Speaker 3: playing and I was like, oh, this is really funny.
- 52:54Speaker 3: So when I started listening to all theirs, and they're good.
- 52:58Speaker 3: I like them. Yeah, they give like legal advice, but
- 53:00Speaker 3: it's not like stuffy. It's like fun and like lighthearted,
- 53:03Speaker 3: you know. I don't know they're talking about like murder,
- 53:05Speaker 3: but they only.
- 53:06Speaker 1: Do like.
- 53:08Speaker 3: Crimes that involved like husbands and wives or relationships like so,
- 53:17Speaker 3: so that's pretty interesting that it, like, you know, plays
- 53:20Speaker 3: on their dynamic two of being married and I don't know,
- 53:23Speaker 3: I like their their chementry together is good.
- 53:26Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just so funny that that's like how the
- 53:28Speaker 1: relationships start and they're still together all these people And
- 53:30Speaker 1: she's a great house. It's like she's open about wade struggles.
- 53:33Speaker 1: She's open about like her mom. I don't know, like
- 53:36Speaker 1: I really do enjoy her as a house if they
- 53:39Speaker 1: just started season twenty of Orange County and I don't
- 53:43Speaker 1: know if she returned or not because I have like
- 53:45Speaker 1: so much TV that I missed when I was in Italy,
- 53:47Speaker 1: so I'm not sure, but uh, yeah, I really like them.
- 53:49Speaker 1: I really like her. She actually on one of the
- 53:52Speaker 1: final episodes I think last season got everyone to do
- 53:56Speaker 1: a lie detecture one bitch.
- 53:59Speaker 3: Like I was gonna ask if she, like is actively
- 54:01Speaker 3: still on the show, like as a I'm not.
- 54:06Speaker 1: Sure if she's on the latest season. I would assume so,
- 54:09Speaker 1: but I have to, like I haven't started it yet,
- 54:13Speaker 1: but yeah, I do really like them and her.
- 54:17Speaker 2: I didn't love Shane at first.
- 54:19Speaker 1: He's really dry and snarky and pessial, but I like
- 54:24Speaker 1: them now.
- 54:24Speaker 3: I think they're Yeah, he's like I don't know, he
- 54:27Speaker 3: like to me, he's sort of like maybe it's just
- 54:30Speaker 3: on the podcast because it kind of she's like the driver,
- 54:34Speaker 3: but like he sort of like sort of like lets
- 54:36Speaker 3: her go, which I think is like cool, and then
- 54:39Speaker 3: like sort of like drops in, like I don't know,
- 54:41Speaker 3: it's just a cool dinamu. Oh, hold on, I have
- 54:44Speaker 3: to let the dog in.
- 54:46Speaker 1: All good. I'm gonna figure out which one I want
- 54:49Speaker 1: to do for I guess I should keep talking to
- 55:19Speaker 1: you guys, because we don't really do cuts, and so
- 55:22Speaker 1: this is just probably quiet part. You're back, Okay, I
- 55:26Speaker 1: probably have been talking to them while you were gone. Okay,
- 55:33Speaker 1: let's see.
- 55:34Speaker 2: I'll do that.
- 55:34Speaker 1: I'll do a show to watch.
- 55:39Speaker 2: I love La. Have I talked?
- 55:42Speaker 1: Did you try it? I think I recommended.
- 55:44Speaker 3: Yeah. I watched the first episode when I was laid up.
- 55:46Speaker 2: Are you couldn't get into it though?
- 55:48Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 55:49Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like I love it. I like blew through
- 55:52Speaker 1: the first season. It's like a modern day Girls, except
- 55:55Speaker 1: for set in La and I feel like it's just
- 55:58Speaker 1: like an accurate description of like an adult friend group
- 56:02Speaker 1: like trying to make it in the work world. So
- 56:06Speaker 1: I don't know. I I thought it was a great
- 56:09Speaker 1: show and like you don't really have to think much
- 56:11Speaker 1: about it, and I think it's pretty funny. The main
- 56:14Speaker 1: girl's really funny and that like beautiful actress. I forget
- 56:17Speaker 1: what her name is, Odessa Zion. I think she's in
- 56:23Speaker 1: it with the show. I loved it and blew through it.
- 56:25Speaker 1: So if you like girls, if you like anything easy
- 56:28Speaker 1: watching about like being a young adult in the world,
- 56:30Speaker 1: I recommend it.
- 56:31Speaker 2: I think it's on HBO.
- 56:34Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'll do something I'm watching too, and it's
- 56:39Speaker 3: have you seen this trend of people selling food on
- 56:42Speaker 3: Facebook marketplace? So like there's these like people making food
- 56:48Speaker 3: in their house and they sell like it's a real thing.
- 56:51Speaker 3: Like you could probably go on Facebook makeplace right now
- 56:53Speaker 3: and try to order food. And so people are buying
- 56:56Speaker 3: this food and doing like food reviews of these people.
- 57:01Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I do know that people have like tried
- 57:03Speaker 1: to sell food on there before, but I didn't realize it.
- 57:07Speaker 3: Yes, and people are doing reviews of them and it's
- 57:10Speaker 3: so fucking funny. Yes, and some of it's like hilarious,
- 57:16Speaker 3: some of it looks good, some of it is looks
- 57:20Speaker 3: absolutely like absolute trash. But there's this whole like subculture
- 57:26Speaker 3: of Facebook marketplace food, which I had no idea about.
- 57:31Speaker 3: But I also wouldn't trust because like I don't trust
- 57:33Speaker 3: people's houses, like you.
- 57:35Speaker 1: Know, no, like people will be like I have half
- 57:37Speaker 1: a sandwich, like it's right.
- 57:40Speaker 3: Yeah. And there was this one guy who I forget
- 57:44Speaker 3: his name, but he he was like the first one
- 57:47Speaker 3: I saw do it, and so like he uh, oh
- 57:52Speaker 3: my god, wait, I have to find it because hold on,
- 57:56Speaker 3: please hold is.
- 57:57Speaker 2: There like a hashtag or how do you?
- 57:59Speaker 3: I don't I don't know how I ended up on this,
- 58:06Speaker 3: but there was Oh my god, it was so good
- 58:07Speaker 3: because the girl that was like cooking it ended up
- 58:10Speaker 3: getting like she got arrested, like it was like all
- 58:14Speaker 3: this drama about like so like, oh, I can't find
- 58:18Speaker 3: him now of course, but oh wait, oh it was
- 58:24Speaker 3: a spicy bull, That's what it was. That's how I
- 58:27Speaker 3: learned what spicy bulls were. Yes, no remembering all this anyway.
- 58:32Speaker 3: So there was this guy he always does that I
- 58:34Speaker 3: forget his name, but he bought a spicy bull from
- 58:40Speaker 3: this couple and the girl cooks and the guy and
- 58:47Speaker 3: her boyfriend is the one that like sells the food
- 58:49Speaker 3: or whatever, and so he was trying to make content.
- 58:53Speaker 3: So he was like, why don't you try it, like
- 58:55Speaker 3: try it for me when I'm here so I could
- 58:56Speaker 3: like record it and put the video up like blah
- 58:58Speaker 3: blah blah. So he try, and the guy the reviewer
- 59:01Speaker 3: was like this is like he tried. He was like
- 59:02Speaker 3: this isn't good, this is whatever. So he went viral
- 59:06Speaker 3: or whatever. So then the cook ended up getting locked
- 59:10Speaker 3: up and then then she got out. It was like
- 59:14Speaker 3: this whole like drama that I was following about this
- 59:17Speaker 3: Facebook marketplace chef that got put in jail. But I
- 59:20Speaker 3: never found out why she was going to jail. It
- 59:22Speaker 3: was just it was crazy. It was crazy, but I
- 59:26Speaker 3: was like, I don't know what this like, whole world
- 59:30Speaker 3: of marketplace food and how long? Oh eggs by Toya
- 59:37Speaker 3: that was her name. X okay, that was the drama.
- 59:40Speaker 3: So Eggs by Toya made a spicy ball and this
- 59:45Speaker 3: guy didn't like it, and then it was like this
- 59:48Speaker 3: whole drama because then the boyfriend was like, no, you
- 59:50Speaker 3: got to try it again, you got to try it again,
- 59:51Speaker 3: and then it still wasn't good, and oh my god,
- 59:54Speaker 3: the internet was dragging Eggs by Toya and then Eggs
- 59:56Speaker 3: by Toya got arrested.
- 59:58Speaker 1: So okay, well we need to figure out what happened
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: with x y Twitter. See this like person right now
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: in his new big colon.
- 1:00:08Speaker 3: The cone.

- 1:00:12Speaker 1: he can't get to his incision from. But like my boys, okay,
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: oh food, mine will be quick.
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: I know we love uh Mayo. We both love Mayo.
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: I actually for a while was very like afraid to
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: admit that, Like I don't. I was like kind of
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: ashamed of it because like people shame people who like Mayo. Yeah,
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: but I'm coming out. I love Mayo, but there is
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: an elite version shout out grade and Cutler. He's the
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: first one to teach me about it. But then I
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: came to learn that, like a.
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: Lot of people are on this, it's CuPy Mayo.
- 1:00:44Speaker 3: Have you heard of Oh I've heard of it. Yeah.
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like Asian Mayo.
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: It's still Mayo, but it's like it's pretty elite. So
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: shout out to that.
- 1:00:52Speaker 3: I love my cuby male CuPy Mayo. Yeah, minus food too.
- 1:00:56Speaker 3: There's just something about I don't know if I think
- 1:01:00Speaker 3: you will get it, but when you go and get
- 1:01:03Speaker 3: a pizza from a carry out place and it's on
- 1:01:06Speaker 3: as on a cardboard circle as a lot of pizzas are,
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: and then it's just in the bag, like in the
- 1:01:11Speaker 3: paper white bag. Do you know what I'm talking about?
- 1:01:15Speaker 3: Like a tavern style pizza, just in a bag, folded,
- 1:01:19Speaker 3: stapled like that. There's a place in downtown Tinley called
- 1:01:24Speaker 3: Village Pizza and it's like walking into your childhood, like
- 1:01:29Speaker 3: their cash only you walk in. There's no place to eat.
- 1:01:32Speaker 3: You just walk in. There's like a little window with
- 1:01:34Speaker 3: the biggest pizza oven behind it and it's right by
- 1:01:38Speaker 3: like the bandshell in Tinley. So like when we go
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: and watch the music in the park that they do
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: on some Saturdays, we'll order a pizza from Village, go
- 1:01:47Speaker 3: pick it up and just eat it like while watching
- 1:01:49Speaker 3: the band or whatever. And that to me is like
- 1:01:53Speaker 3: the best Chicago pizza. And we got pizza and a
- 1:01:57Speaker 3: sandwich for thirty eight dollars, which does not happen anywhere.
- 1:02:01Speaker 3: Like if you go anywhere out here and just get
- 1:02:02Speaker 3: a pizza. You're at minimum forty five forty eight dollars.
- 1:02:07Speaker 3: So the fact that they're like cheap and good and
- 1:02:11Speaker 3: it's just like the quintessential Chicago pizza shout out Village
- 1:02:16Speaker 3: pizza because.
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: Okay, and you mean in a bag, like, not in
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: a box or what do you mean?
- 1:02:21Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's not in a box, it's wrapped in
- 1:02:23Speaker 3: Let me see if I can find a picture.
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: Hold on, and it's a whole pizza.
- 1:02:29Speaker 3: Yep, yep, it's not a slice. Interesting yeah, oh yeah,
- 1:02:34Speaker 3: so it's gotta look like here, I'll show you and
- 1:02:36Speaker 3: I'm sure you've seen this, but hold on, and I'm
- 1:02:39Speaker 3: sorry for all you audio only listeners, but we'll put
- 1:02:45Speaker 3: a picture up here. We go, Oh shit, screen one
- 1:02:51Speaker 3: this So it just looks like this, Well I don't
- 1:02:58Speaker 3: see like it's wrapped in a bag, like it doesn't
- 1:03:04Speaker 3: come in a box, like it's wrapped.
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: But I will tell you anything. With the map of
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: Italy on.
- 1:03:11Speaker 3: It's delicious, right, But this to me just screams like
- 1:03:18Speaker 3: just fucking Chicago, like the pizza that Chicagoans like really,
- 1:03:23Speaker 3: like this is what I grew up on, Like not
- 1:03:25Speaker 3: Deep Dish, not even Lumel Noddies, not even I was like,
- 1:03:28Speaker 3: that's not where we went to, like the this is
- 1:03:30Speaker 3: like mom and pop. Yeah pizza, you know what I mean.
- 1:03:34Speaker 3: And it's it's thin crust, it's tavern style. It is
- 1:03:39Speaker 3: just everything, and that to me is just it just
- 1:03:41Speaker 3: is so nostalgic for me. And like that, if you're
- 1:03:44Speaker 3: gonna ask me, like, I don't know what the name
- 1:03:46Speaker 3: of this is. I call it pizza in a bag,
- 1:03:48Speaker 3: but like whatever that is, like that is yeah, like
- 1:03:52Speaker 3: this is it and it comes all puffed up because
- 1:03:54Speaker 3: it's hot as hell. Yeah the best Hell.
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: Yeah, I uh yeah, I never had pizza in a bag,
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: but I don't know. I have a hard time with
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: I mean, I I'll eat tavern style, but like sometimes
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: I just feel like it's.
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: On a cardboard, like you know, poster board.
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: And yeah, but I'll eat it, and like there's some
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: spots that are better than others, so I have to
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: try that spot.
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay.
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: My next one is my vet and I may have
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: chatted them out before, but excuse me if you're local.
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: It's called Vetigue. And they kind of made like their
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: whole thing is like they want it to be like
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: a spa for your pets, like they made it very
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: nice and there's a full bar in there, so you
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: can anytime like they offer you.
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: Ye one time, my girl even gave me.
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: A roadie to take home when it was really a
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: day and it is an all female There was a
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: guy who oversaw Levi's surgery, but I think he comes
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: in from like somewhere else, but yeah, Levi, I just
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: got neutered. And it's an all female workplace, which like
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: you can absolutely tell, and I love it so much.
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: His vet, doctor Trice is so bubbly, like even when
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: she called, she called my sister to tell her he
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: was going into search and she's just like, oh my.
- 1:05:11Speaker 3: Gosh, like he's going out, Like she's just so uthy.
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: And I trust that they like give him all the care.
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: And love and I love that. And I also love
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: that I think it's two women vets that own it together.
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: Unless it's just doctor Trice, I'm not sure. I haven't
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: worked with the other one, but I just like really
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: love the vibes there. I really love that they feel
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: like they care and give your pet like extra time
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: and extra attention, and you could tell she really loves animals,
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: and I showed this to you, but like after his
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: surgery ate, she wrote me a full page email that
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: was like supposed to be from LEVI with all these
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: like what he's where he's recovering, and just like so
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: much communication and like so much understanding that you're or everything,
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: and like yeah, she just like wrote this letter as
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: if it was from LEVI, like I can't wait to
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: see my mom cried, but I know he didn't read it.
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: But I really freaking love my VET and like truly
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: I went there based on reviews and they're so accurate.
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: But then like I also saw that they had a
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: bar and.
- 1:06:18Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, but like shots like they give him
- 1:06:24Speaker 3: peanut butter, they give him frozen bone broth, Like.
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: The way they weigh them is on this like furrery thing.
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: So I just I don't know, I really think that's
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: like important. I know that like my I know that
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: people in my life have had vets that they don't
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: feel like I've showed that letter too, and they don't
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: feel like they have like that same care or bedside
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: mean or whatever, like they just really go above and beyond.
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: So I just like wanted to shout them out, my
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: bougie VET, because if I was going to go somewhere.
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: I was like, I might as well go because you know,
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: Pat and Turns is different. They don't like you just
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: ask for reimbursement, so it doesn't really matter where you go, right,
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: So shout out to Vetik Fatik.
- 1:07:01Speaker 3: So my last thing has to do with my dental hygiene,
- 1:07:05Speaker 3: because for those that don't know, I've had quite the journey.
- 1:07:09Speaker 3: I did not go to the dentist for about a decade,
- 1:07:13Speaker 3: and when I finally did, I had eighteen cavities. I
- 1:07:16Speaker 3: needed a root canal and a crown put in, and
- 1:07:20Speaker 3: it costed me all of my pay for the next
- 1:07:25Speaker 3: thirty five years. And so I recently have been starting
- 1:07:31Speaker 3: to go to the dentist for my you know, bi
- 1:07:33Speaker 3: annually was a bi annual twice a year cleanings, and
- 1:07:38Speaker 3: have not had a cavity since then. And honestly, I
- 1:07:44Speaker 3: equated all to a toothpaste that they told me to use.
- 1:07:52Speaker 3: It's called I honestly feel like I have graduated to
- 1:07:57Speaker 3: a senior citizen because I feel like a senior scene.
- 1:08:00Speaker 3: Your citizens use this, but it's paradontacs. Have you used this?
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: No, I'm a hippie and use like no fluoride.
- 1:08:08Speaker 3: Like, oh bitch, no, I need all the fluoride. I
- 1:08:10Speaker 3: need all like my teeth are, my teeth are jacked,
- 1:08:13Speaker 3: I need I need all the chemicals. But it like
- 1:08:19Speaker 3: really because I the one thing that they talk to
- 1:08:21Speaker 3: me about is I still use a handheld toothbrush because
- 1:08:24Speaker 3: I don't like the electric ones and I don't like
- 1:08:25Speaker 3: how it feels in my mouth. So I still like
- 1:08:29Speaker 3: scrub with a handheld like that, I know, but it's working,
- 1:08:37Speaker 3: so I'm gonna keep doing it. But they said that
- 1:08:41Speaker 3: my dental hygiene is improving every single time and I
- 1:08:44Speaker 3: have less plaque and build up every single time when
- 1:08:48Speaker 3: I go. So they're not like pushing on me to
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: get the electronic yet I am.
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: Too aggressive with it. So they were like, you're taking
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: your gums off.
- 1:08:58Speaker 3: So yeah, so paradontach because I did have early gum disease.
- 1:09:03Speaker 3: So they this is supposed to fight like the like
- 1:09:09Speaker 3: whatever progression of that which it has, and yeah, it
- 1:09:15Speaker 3: really like I after brushing my teeth, I just feel
- 1:09:18Speaker 3: so like sparkly clean.
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, like brush your teeth for sure, and I'll
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: just I love y'all. But Mendel, I ever want to
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: go to the doctor. You guys don't, I mean you
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: usually do, but like we don't play the tape out
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: enough to realize that like the less we go, like
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: the worse it's gonna be right. Yeah, oh yeah, which
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: I've seen now with you with our sweet producer on
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: the morning show Bella, Like let's just go. Let's just
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: go go to the dentist and floss. That's like the
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: only place that I like, they I really get like
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: good report cards on anything in my life. So like
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: I going because like they're like, oh my god, I
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: thank yeah. I know my dentist will be like, don't
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: ever let anyone tell you have a big mouth, and
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, but okay, I promised too. So my
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: last two are number one TikTok Shop.
- 1:10:14Speaker 2: I am very.
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: Like like morally anti fast fashion, but I'm getting ready
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: for this trip like Italy, where I wanted to like
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: pop off a lot of things that like I was
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: looking for that I was able to get for on
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: the low. There's the pair of jelly shoes that you
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: know that was like my only pair in all of
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: Europe that I watched ever in Kimmy Sisters. And then
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: I got a wedge sandal and like some other really
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: cute stuff for my trip. So you know, I love
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: watching the videos of people trying them on.
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: That's really helpful.
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: I got some like weenie dogs sweatpants on there, so
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: when the budget is not budgeting and I'm not like
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: renting something or if something's trendy, I have been able
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: to get it on there.
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: And I have weird feet.
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: They're like two different sizes and they're really freaking narrow,
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: so like being able to just order shoes on like
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: the first based on like people's reviews and stuff and
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: think like two of the confious pairs of shoes I own,
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: like shout out and then my last one is a
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: girl on Instagram. I don't know if she's also on TikTok,
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: but it's yes, it's Yonce and her whole social media
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: presence is it basically formed out of And she just
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: came up on my fee the other day and it
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: cracked me up until that I looked into it, but
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: like she was coming from a place of like, as
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: a black woman, white women can be like a little
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: scary and make me feel uneasy, and like I totally get.
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: That because the freaking white women that are absolutely nuts.
- 1:11:42Speaker 3: And she.
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: Started this discourse with like, hey white women, a like
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: this is how you could help or be an alley.
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: But like most importantly, she she says.
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: Like I was really scared to be around all white women,
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: but now I have these identifiers that I look for
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: to where I know if a white woman and is safe.
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: So the first video I saw, she was describing some
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: of the things that a woman would have on that
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: she knows is safe and safe she means, uh not
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: a trumper. I almost had every single thing in the video,
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: and it was really funny. Tattoos, she said, she looks for,
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: but there's like a certain kind like they they can't
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: be like tiny or like hidden like those are usually
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: can be dicey, a nosering okay, an emotional support hoodie
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: that's just like Super was one of them.
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: I do not drive with superu Uh.
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: She looks burnt out and exhausted by life for like
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: green flags and also like if someone's being allowed or
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: like asking to talk to the manager, like if she
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: gets a book, like I want to like look at
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: this house, hoodies, tattoos, nose ring. I think I had
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: all of that with the Subaru. Oh. She said birkenstocks
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: or sometimes vans, but she very much was like I
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: don't know, Like I came across and I was like check,
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: check check.
- 1:13:14Speaker 2: And then in the comments.
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: It's like thank you for like not thinking all white
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: women are like horrible people. But it's hysterical. I'll send
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: you one of her videos because she's just like I Like,
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: she's like, I will identify the factors of how you
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: can look with a white woman, and it's really funny
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: because it's like pretty niche but like also not yeah,
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: and then there are people who get really mad at her,
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: and she calls them out because like they'll be like, yeah,
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: being racist, Like it's like, shut up. So I really
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: love her.
- 1:13:46Speaker 2: My crash out is a I don't know.
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: Throughout this episode, I've slowly become more like faint and
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: like I'm gonna throw up, so I don't really know
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: what's going on with that, So I don't know what's happening.
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: But also my crash out is I understand that people
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: have fears of dogs. My mom was attacked by a dog,
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: and sometimes she can get like a little skittish. I
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: was attacked by a dog, but it obviously had the
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: opposite fact, because like that's how I am. I'm like,
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: no love me. But it's people out in public where
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: I bring LEVI places. Who is my miniature docson, who's
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: seven pounds and who could not be sweeter like even
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: if they're this surgery Like he lets his tail shakes
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: when I put his cone on, he gets excited when
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: I put on his surgery suit, like he's just an angel.
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: And my dog is just walking by someone who's clearly
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: scared of dogs and they jump out of the way
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: in the most dramatic fashion, as if this small creature
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: who is minding his own business is going to like
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: do something to them, And it's.
- 1:14:45Speaker 2: Very dramatic, and it's very annoying to me.
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: I understand you can have a fear, like I have
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: lots of fears, But when he's not bothering you and
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: I'm just passing you on the street and you're jumping
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: out of the way like he is Kujo, Like, it's
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: just it's not the vibe.
- 1:14:59Speaker 3: I don't like it, No, not at all. My crash out,
- 1:15:03Speaker 3: which I continue to crash out, is the fucking weather,
- 1:15:06Speaker 3: because like, what the actual fuck is going on? Why
- 1:15:09Speaker 3: are there so many storms? Why are they so bad?
- 1:15:12Speaker 3: Why do they come out of nowhere?
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: I'll forget warning.
- 1:15:16Speaker 3: I was about this destroy everything. Like even when I
- 1:15:21Speaker 3: was driving home today, there's still fucking trees down everywhere
- 1:15:24Speaker 3: in the road, fucking all this shit, and I'm like,
- 1:15:29Speaker 3: what the hell is going on? Also, come at count
- 1:15:32Speaker 3: your mother fucking days, because I swear to God my
- 1:15:36Speaker 3: power made it through the storm yesterday. Then the sun
- 1:15:41Speaker 3: came out all of a sudden. You want to fucking
- 1:15:44Speaker 3: turn it off? And you know, then the thing is
- 1:15:47Speaker 3: is I would understand if I saw lying down or
- 1:15:53Speaker 3: there were trucks driving around, but I don't see nothing,
- 1:15:57Speaker 3: and then y'all don't want to say anything, and then
- 1:15:59Speaker 3: I'll all you say for eight nine hours is we're
- 1:16:04Speaker 3: assessing the damage, and then out of nowhere it's back on.
- 1:16:10Speaker 3: That is dishonest. Okay, tell me what the fuck is
- 1:16:14Speaker 3: going on? If you're like, hey, you know what, A
- 1:16:18Speaker 3: couple blocks down from you, a tree fell into a
- 1:16:22Speaker 3: fucking pole and it turned your electric off and we
- 1:16:25Speaker 3: have to turn it off until we can get it fixed. Cool, Like,
- 1:16:29Speaker 3: just tell me. I pay well, Mike pays too much
- 1:16:34Speaker 3: fucking money for y'all to be us with me. Like,
- 1:16:39Speaker 3: tell me what's going on. Maybe there's circumstances where you
- 1:16:42Speaker 3: don't know what time it's coming back.
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: I was gonna say, like, are we ever expecting too
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: much from comment?
- 1:16:48Speaker 3: Like I'm fine with an inaccurate time. Okay, give me
- 1:16:52Speaker 3: a range, tell me five to eight hours. Okay, I
- 1:16:55Speaker 3: would give me something. Give me some piece of information
- 1:17:00Speaker 3: that is not assessing damage. You've been assessing the damage
- 1:17:04Speaker 3: for nine hours and then all of a sudden it's
- 1:17:06Speaker 3: fixed Like that. That's not right, Like how they.
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: Know like when the individual people get out there, they
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: don't really know the problem yet, Like can they really
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: be that specific with like, hey Jason, your power is
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: gonna come back on an hour?
- 1:17:20Speaker 2: Like love you bitch?
- 1:17:21Speaker 3: Yes? Because I pay four hundred dollars a month. Okay,
- 1:17:26Speaker 3: well my household pays four hundred dollars a month. Y'all
- 1:17:30Speaker 3: can tell me a little bit about where the fucking
- 1:17:32Speaker 3: branches are. Y'all want to have a little outage map
- 1:17:34Speaker 3: and it says, oh, there's an outage here, here and here.
- 1:17:37Speaker 3: What's going on? Is what I would like to know,
- 1:17:41Speaker 3: Like have someone be designated to like communicate to the
- 1:17:46Speaker 3: crews that are out to find out. Y'all can track
- 1:17:49Speaker 3: your Amazon driver down to the millisecond of them coming
- 1:17:52Speaker 3: down your street. Y'all can't tell me if there's a
- 1:17:56Speaker 3: pole down somewhere, like and you're fixing it. Give me
- 1:18:00Speaker 3: so much.
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: It's a lot of moving.
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: Okay, I'm not like a like comment defender, but I
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: don't know if there's a better option.
- 1:18:07Speaker 3: And be well, I'm gonna start one and they're gonna
- 1:18:10Speaker 3: count their fucking days because let me figure out how
- 1:18:13Speaker 3: to start an energy company because it is over for
- 1:18:16Speaker 3: you hos like I have bad news.
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: They were gonna be our first sponsor of the podcast.
- 1:18:25Speaker 3: Well I'm sorry, but I don't know how big the
- 1:18:28Speaker 3: check is, but fuck you after us.
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: And only you would be mad that your power came
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: back on.
- 1:18:37Speaker 3: I just want to know, take your time. I want
- 1:18:40Speaker 3: you to have a life. I want you to be
- 1:18:43Speaker 3: with your family. If you were to tell me, hey, bro,
- 1:18:46Speaker 3: it's gonna be like three days, right, I'd be like, Okay,
- 1:18:50Speaker 3: let me mentally get my mind right and figure out
- 1:18:53Speaker 3: what I'm gonna do for three days, right, Like if
- 1:18:56Speaker 3: you're putting in a solid eight hours work a day
- 1:18:59Speaker 3: to fix my power and it's gonna take three days
- 1:19:02Speaker 3: to do it. I'm okay with that, but at least
- 1:19:06Speaker 3: let me know. Don't just say it's given it was
- 1:19:09Speaker 3: given eight hours of TBD. Then how about you don't
- 1:19:13Speaker 3: have an app with a status bar. Okay, if you're
- 1:19:16Speaker 3: just gonna tell me, well, I don't know, we're just
- 1:19:19Speaker 3: gonna assess the damage for nine hours, then don't even
- 1:19:22Speaker 3: put it on there, okay, Like don't like.
- 1:19:25Speaker 1: It's so like individual though, like they can't tell each
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: person when there's power is gonna come back.
- 1:19:32Speaker 3: I know, but give me a range. I would take
- 1:19:35Speaker 3: a give me worst case scenario, like are we looking
- 1:19:37Speaker 3: at next Thursday? Or are we looking at maybe like
- 1:19:42Speaker 3: a couple hours, Like like what y'all have to know
- 1:19:47Speaker 3: When you're pulling up to the pole and it's completely
- 1:19:50Speaker 3: disintegrated on fire from a lightning strike, that's probably gonna
- 1:19:54Speaker 3: take a solid, you know, couple days to get that rectified. Right,
- 1:19:58Speaker 3: But if there's a little branch there and you gotta
- 1:20:00Speaker 3: just let me know, like and I know it's first
- 1:20:06Speaker 3: world problems, but it pisses me off because don't have
- 1:20:11Speaker 3: current status and then not give us status. That's the
- 1:20:15Speaker 3: part that I think business me off, Like.
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you have this, but I don't think
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: it's bad if you lose your ability to.
- 1:20:25Speaker 2: Like be on your phone for a little while.
- 1:20:27Speaker 3: Like it was giving very much Little House on the
- 1:20:30Speaker 3: Prairie today or last night, we went to bed and
- 1:20:34Speaker 3: our phones do not work well, his does a little bit,
- 1:20:36Speaker 3: but my phone does not work in our house without
- 1:20:39Speaker 3: Wi Fi. And so we in the dark just put
- 1:20:44Speaker 3: our phones on the charger, hope for the best, and
- 1:20:46Speaker 3: just said good night, just like, what.
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: Was your text informing us like supposed to be like
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: if my alarm doesn't go off like this.
- 1:20:54Speaker 3: Yeah, So my hope was like if my phone died
- 1:20:57Speaker 3: overnight and you were you guys, wouldn't freak out that
- 1:21:01Speaker 3: I was like dead somewhere, Like at least you would
- 1:21:03Speaker 3: know that, like the power was out and my phone died,
- 1:21:09Speaker 3: and so my alarm didn't go off. Yeah, that was
- 1:21:12Speaker 3: the hope. But yeah, we just sort of like it
- 1:21:17Speaker 3: was dark because we always had the TV on when
- 1:21:19Speaker 3: we go to bed. Every single night, the TV is
- 1:21:20Speaker 3: on before we go to bed, and so we were
- 1:21:22Speaker 3: just kind of like.
- 1:21:24Speaker 2: What about your portable chargers?
- 1:21:27Speaker 3: What ers they're not charged? I was caught off guard
- 1:21:31Speaker 3: this whole this whole thing.
- 1:21:34Speaker 2: That's really the issue situation.
- 1:21:38Speaker 3: This whole thing just cof me so off guard, and
- 1:21:42Speaker 3: I just don't understand why all of a sudden, there's
- 1:21:46Speaker 3: I've never seen our neighbor literally had a branch fall
- 1:21:51Speaker 3: out of a tree and go directly into the roof
- 1:21:56Speaker 3: of her garage, like like vertically right into like and
- 1:22:02Speaker 3: it's sticking out of the fucking roof of I have
- 1:22:05Speaker 3: never seen that. I'm like, I've never seen anything like that,
- 1:22:09Speaker 3: like in real life, Like, what is going on? Why?
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: It's because people thought global warming was a later problem.
- 1:22:19Speaker 1: Y'all don't want to recycle, y'all won't use AI and
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: we are ruining this earth and so all of this
- 1:22:25Speaker 1: weather is not coming out of nowhere, but it's.
- 1:22:28Speaker 3: Mad at us. I was like, are they trying to
- 1:22:30Speaker 3: get rid of all the trees? Like we like.
- 1:22:33Speaker 1: Hey, who's it.
- 1:22:37Speaker 3: Like the weather gods? Like are they? Like, No, we
- 1:22:39Speaker 3: need to replant trees. So we're gonna take down every
- 1:22:43Speaker 3: single one, and by the way, we're gonna impale your
- 1:22:46Speaker 3: fucking house with them while we're doing it. Like what, Like,
- 1:22:52Speaker 3: I just have never I've lived here my entire life,
- 1:22:56Speaker 3: and I have never experienced anything like the weather we've
- 1:23:01Speaker 3: gotten in the last year, like ever.
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: Do you remember the scientist saying like we have like
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: five years or whatever to reverse this, if not irreversible,
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: and like nobody wanted.
- 1:23:12Speaker 3: To there, we're at the point of no return. It's happening,
- 1:23:16Speaker 3: and commat needs to get their shit together.
- 1:23:19Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, I'm gonna let you have that one and
- 1:23:24Speaker 1: I gotta go.
- 1:23:24Speaker 2: I'm about to yak and I have another meeting, so.
- 1:23:26Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on.
- 1:23:28Speaker 3: Okay, have fun. Bye,
