• 10:06
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_03: Um I uh I feel like it was a really like not to be like deep and meaningful, but also to be deep and meaningful.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_03: It was just like a real important part of my healing, and I am a really creative person.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_03: Um and I just like locked myself in a little box in the city in my one bedroom apartment, and then I thought I want to be creative again, and it was just a real, a real outlet, and I I just want it to be a real reflection of me.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_03: So, like with all of these like the collections and the posts and the drops and all of that, I don't put a lot of like pre-planning into place.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_03: I just like do it when I feel good.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_03: Um so whenever I'm posting and when I'm active, it has a lot of like excitement and like genuine happiness behind it.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_03: And this has been the business out of so I've had four.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_03: This is the fourth one, the fourth times of charm apparently.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_03: Um and yeah, it just like has felt the best, it's felt the most natural, and I've really just put all of the filtered and all of the curation, like I've I've just like put that in the bit.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_03: And I'm just like, I'm done, I'm not doing that, because that's not me.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not a curated person, I'm not a pre-planner, I'm not like I just I don't like I just do shit when I do shit.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_03: Like I feel like that might be low-key a little bit of ADHD, but like never medicate me because I just do things that feel great in the moment, and yeah, so it's just a real reflection of me and my personality, and I just love being able to put a physical part of me into the universe and like into people who follow me, and like I don't know, I'm just I'm here for the girls, and I it's just such a nice way to be able to like physically connect with my people, with my girls.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_03: It's yeah, it's really nice.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_03: It's been great.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_05: It definitely brings people together, I think, more than and I think people are craving at the moment the like tangibility of things, and rather than just like, oh, we follow each other.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_05: Like, I think that's so almost not.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_03: Well, that was something that I was looking for, like just like just to be able to yeah, be like have that tangibility with people that follow me.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_03: It's been and it has been so fun.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_03: Like, I had this girl DM me the other day, and she was like, she goes, Um, I don't remember what the first part was, but long story short, she had me on her birthday wish list.

• 13:48
  SPEAKER_03: Loki, I hope they're paying you for this plant.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_01: Not at all.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_04: Like, I'm just really excited.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_04: Okay, do you have a we made it moment?
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_04: But it's just you, so you it's the I made it moment.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_03: Literally the birthday list.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not even shitting you.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_03: Seeing that message, I was like, dude.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_03: Like, I feel like Santa.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_03: And I'm like, be more of an icon than the man himself.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_04: No, it's truly.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_03: That's incredible.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_03: Literally, I was just like, wow.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_03: I think before that, a bit of an I made it moment.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_03: Honestly, it hasn't come from like any of the brands or any of that.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_03: I think it was the first message I got from a girl who I actually am like good friends with, like internet friends with.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_01: Um Internet friends.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_01: Internet friends.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_03: But she's literally, but I'm like her, she's my friend.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_03: Um she is my friend.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_03: Don't I will ride for that bitch.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_03: She is my friend.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_03: Um, she sent me a message about um just the the impact that I'd had on her life, and that was a real like it.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_03: I think it it made me realize that the things that I say and I do, and even for the people in general, like the things that you say and the things that you do online and that you put out there, real life people are sat in their bedrooms watching that.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_03: They are listening and they are consuming what you say.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_03: And I think that was a huge thing.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_03: Like, I was just like, shit.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_03: And um, I yeah, that was a real like maybe not I've made it, but that was like the closest thing that I was like, yeah, oh like this is for real.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_03: Like what I'm doing is legit.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_03: Like this is wow.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_05: I think because the numbers when you see on social media, it you don't get the feeling that there's people behind.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_05: Oh no, and and it's all a numbers.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_05: But I do actually think the numbers thing is the same for country music as well, though, because everyone tells us that country music is niche, and we're like, go to CMC Rocks.
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_03: It's just look how many people I'm niche, it's not singing on country music.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_05: It's certainly not.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_03: And I one of my biggest pet peeves is people saying that like it's performative or like it's uh oh, it's a niche, like you really want to be that.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_03: And I'm like, it it's okay to not rush the cattle and enjoy country music.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_03: Get out of my face with that.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_03: I hate that.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_04: It's just so funny just like seeing the comparison of like it's just we have I feel like very similar cultures to like the South in America, and there it's like not performative, it's mainstream.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_04: It's like just it's just normal.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_04: It's just a lifestyle, yeah.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_04: And like I feel like because we're like so segregated from rural areas in the city, yeah, it's it becomes that like performative thing.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_04: But like it is massively.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_03: I wore jeans and boots one time to Westfield.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_03: Did you get looks?
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_03: I've never been stared at.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, I wear them.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_03: I was like, for the time feels to be famous.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_03: I was like, they're looking at me, Loki, they're just looking at my boots, thinking, what is that bird doing here wearing that?
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, I wear them out all the time.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_04: Like I would wear, I would wear I'd wear boots like to the pub like all the time.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_03: As you should.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_03: As you should.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_04: It's the cowboy hat that doesn't quite make you Paddington.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_03: Ten gallon hat.
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_00: Or is it when you wear four of them on top of each other?
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_04: That's the airport.
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that's just the airport fit.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_03: That is standard.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_04: You mean you can't do the airport without having a double-stacked hat, of course.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_04: No, you can't.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_06: Okay, sorry.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I'm gonna have to talk at that wrong audience.

  SPEAKER_03: That's awful.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_04: Um, so tell us more about your CMC experience.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_04: Because I feel like there's probably a few people who possibly follow you and then also follow us that maybe haven't been to CMC.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.

• 18:41
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_04: Well, yeah.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_03: So I lived in the city on I was I was seeing this guy at the time.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_04: This is not the guy that you were engaged to.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_03: So I'd been separated from the engaged guy.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe like I'd lived in the city for maybe like five, maybe five months.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_03: I think.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe.

  SPEAKER_03: Um yeah, so going to CMC, I they yeah, they they were coupled up doing their like team activities.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_03: Like going out to see a daytime show and whatever, coming back.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_03: I'm surprised they were hanging out.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, no, they were very chill.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_03: And um on the first night I got there, flew in like a hurricane, I always do.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_03: And I just thought to myself, you know what?
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_03: I am just gonna go out and I'm just gonna do me.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_03: I was with Chloe, she was an absolute legend.
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_03: She was on the same wavelength as me, she was staying with the Out West crew as well.
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_03: And we just went out on the first night.

• 19:54
  SPEAKER_03: Don't be saying that.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_03: No.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_03: Because as soon as you say that, the universe is out to teach you a lesson.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_03: No.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_03: For some reason.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_04: Not a teacher.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_03: I don't need to be taught nothing.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_03: And for some reason, the universe has a real close ear to me.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_06: It's character building.
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_03: I've had too much development.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_03: At this point, I'm Harry himself.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_03: I don't be needing any more character development.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna have a scar, a lightning bolt real soon.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_03: And I'm gonna give that boy a run for his money with the amount of development I've had.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_03: Um, but so I go out the first night with Chloe, and this girl taps me on the shoulder.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_03: I'm like, a couple drinks in, I'm tipsy, I'm singing at that like what is that stage called where they do karaoke?
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_03: Tailgate.
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_03: Tailgate.
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_03: So I'm at the I'm at the tailgate and I'm drinking, I'm having fun, whatever, whatever.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_03: With Chloe, dancing, singing, being a goose like I always am.
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_03: And I get this tow and I turn around and it's this girl.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_03: And she goes, hi.
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_03: And I go, hi.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_03: And she goes, I'm Emily, nice to meet you.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_03: And I said, I'm Claire, nice to meet you too.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_03: And I thought it was someone who had known me from social media, so like I was having a like not a performative conversation, but one of those combos where you're like, oh, you're having fun, blah, blah, blah, yeah, yeah.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_03: And then she goes, I want you to meet my friend.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_03: And I go, what?
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_03: And then I realize she's being a wingwoman.
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_03: And I'm like, oh.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_03: And I'm like, hi, I'm Claire.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_03: And he's like, what's up?
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_03: And I'm like, hey.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_03: And then I turned back to Emily, and then we just like hit it off.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_03: And then we were both like bye boys.
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_03: And then we became besties.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_03: We were together all night.
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_03: And then the next day we were together, and then the day after that we were together, and then we just became like this.

  SPEAKER_04: Excellent.
• 21:56
  SPEAKER_03: So we're no, we're both we're both single, freeze bird.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_03: Um, but yeah, she's been like the first adult friendship that I've made with a female that feels like actually like genuine and purposeful, and I have really struggled with friendships just like over the course of my life.
• 22:21
  SPEAKER_03: I just find having female friends really difficult.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know if that's like a character flaw in myself, but like I pour a lot into my friendships and the people that I'm close to, and I'm okay with doing that, like I do that because I want to.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_03: Um but it becomes tough, I think, like after a little while where you just go, you know what?
• 22:41
  SPEAKER_03: I'm a bit sick of pouring out into people who just don't seem to pour back.
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_03: And it becomes it becomes irritating, and like that is the last thing I want for myself is for something that makes me feel good to them become like a bit a bit of an irritation.
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_03: Like I don't ever want to do something with the expectation to get anything back.
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_03: Um, and with her, I've never felt like that.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_03: And that was a real like out of that long relationship and out of everything, like I just had people do nothing but surprise me in the worst way possible.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_03: And then to meet her, I was like, wow, this feels so lit.
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_03: To be surprised in in a good way.
• 23:23
  SPEAKER_03: Like, yeah, and like it just is so refreshing to be able to be so unfiltered and so raw with another human being and then not have it come to bite you in the ass.
• 23:34
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 23:35
  SPEAKER_03: And it's just like the nicest thing, and I love that that friendship came from something like CMC.
• 23:41

  SPEAKER_03: Okay.

  SPEAKER_03: Um yeah, I think for a long time I was like afraid of what my actual type is.
• 51:53
  SPEAKER_03: I like them tall.
• 51:55
  SPEAKER_03: And shoulders are my favorite feature.
• 51:57
  SPEAKER_04: Okay.
• 51:58
  SPEAKER_03: Shoulders and biceps.
• 51:59
  SPEAKER_03: Taking note.
• 51:59
  SPEAKER_03: Don't care about your abs.
• 52:01
  SPEAKER_03: I think they're performative.
• 52:02
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 52:02
  SPEAKER_03: And I think anyone who has abs has too much free time.
• 52:05
  SPEAKER_03: Personally.
• 52:06
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 52:06
  SPEAKER_03: Um I like someone who has a clue about them who just like knows how to do shit.
• 52:12
  SPEAKER_03: I think being an eldest daughter, you just figure a lot of shit out and like spend a lot of time just doing shit for other people.
• 52:19
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 52:20
  SPEAKER_03: Um, and I love being able to not have to change my own light bulbs or change my own tire.
• 52:26
  SPEAKER_03: Like, I'm capable of doing that.
• 52:27
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, just someone who has a clue about them where I can be like, hey, I really want to like build this or do this.
• 52:34
  SPEAKER_03: And they're like, no worries, I can do that.
• 52:36
  SPEAKER_03: And I'm like, Yeah.
• 52:38
  SPEAKER_05: Like I'm a no city boy can do that.
• 52:40
  SPEAKER_05: I feel like that's that's why you gotta go country.
• 52:42
  SPEAKER_03: Agreed, agreed.
• 52:43
  SPEAKER_03: And like I had someone who was a bit of a city slick, and I'm just like, you know what?
• 52:49
  SPEAKER_03: I need to lean into a little bit more of my time and not be afraid of that.
• 52:53
  SPEAKER_03: Because eventually, I'll like I think for women especially, we need to tell ourselves it's okay to want all the boxes ticked.
• 53:02
  SPEAKER_03: Like, we just don't need to make excuses for bullshit.
• 53:07
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 53:07
  SPEAKER_03: And I made excuses for bullshit for a really long time.
• 53:11
  SPEAKER_03: And I have just decided I'm not gonna be pretending that I don't want the boxes ticked now.
• 53:17
  SPEAKER_03: Like we deserved, we we deserve, I deserved to have all the boxes ticked.
• 53:22
  SPEAKER_03: Is that why you ended your engagement?
• 53:24
  SPEAKER_03: Uh yeah, that among other things.
• 53:26
  SPEAKER_03: I've always been such a crusader for consent and just like really knowing where the line is.
• 53:32
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 53:33
  SPEAKER_03: And it's unfortunate that it falls on the female to advocate for that.
• 53:38
  SPEAKER_03: It was, yeah, I was just like, I am not a pretender and I can't keep pretending.
• 53:42
  SPEAKER_03: And I deserve respect and I deserve, I deserve to be heard, and I deserve to be loved out loud, and I deserve to be happy and be really attracted to the person that I marry.
• 53:53
  SPEAKER_03: Like I want to see my husband and I want to think he's the goddamn coolest.
• 54:02
  SPEAKER_05: He's gonna consume a rack of ribs before going sweaty on date.
• 54:08
  SPEAKER_03: Everyone deserves that, and I just think life's too short to not want to be like, that's my guy.
• 54:14
  SPEAKER_03: That's my fucking guy.
• 54:16
  SPEAKER_03: And it was just a shame because I loved him out loud like that for so long.
• 54:19
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, I hate that.
• 54:20
  SPEAKER_03: And it was so excellent, and like I know what love is.
• 54:23
  SPEAKER_03: That's not love.
• 54:24
