  Speaker 3: And y'all probably like, girl, you wake up mad early,
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: like 3, 4 a.m.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: 3 is crazy.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: My alarms start around like 3.45, and yes, I set
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: alarms with an S.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I'm one of those type of people that have to
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: have multiple alarms for me to even get up. I
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: love sleep. I love sleep. I love eating. And I
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: I'm like more, to be honest with y'all, I am
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: a night person. Like I thrive in the nighttime. That
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: sounds like a streetwalker, Jezebel.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: No shade.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: No shade to anybody that feels the same way, but
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: I do thrive at night. I feel like I work
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: better then. I'm more alert, up, going. But nothing about
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: my life or my career has ever given nighttime jobs.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Maybe a little side gig. I was a bartender, like,
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: waitress at the Abbey, the bar in West Hollywood. Gay bar,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: but really, really fun. But they had the show. on E,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: the Abbey, otherwise Hollywood Abbey. It was like a big
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: reality show. So when I was looking for like a
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: backup gig during my TMZ days where I just needed
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: extra money, I went there.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: That was the only nighttime thing I've ever done. And
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I'm going to tell y'all something.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Every single morning, I am reminded by God that the
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: nighttime crawl of life is not for me because I
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: am woken up. My first alarm goes off at 345.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: My very last one that, and I even changed the
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: tunes on my alarm. So the first couple ones are
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: very gentle.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Good morning. The world is yours. I just realized I
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: did not pray this morning. Good morning. The world is yours.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: And then as it gets closer to that time where like,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: if I don't get out of the bed right now,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: I'm going to be late. I get the dirt, dirt, dirt.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Like that is my I have to do that. I
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: know myself well enough to know I've been waking up
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: early in the morning for years now that I just
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: I really love sleep.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I love to sleep in.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: But I'm not tired because I just didn't get enough
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: sleep on a regular night. I'm tired because I took
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: my behind outside last night. I went to the Sixers
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: preseason game against the Knicks.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Had a really great time.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: I did enjoy it. I got there a little bit
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: after the first quarter started. We drove down.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Me and my boyfriend went.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: We drove down from Jersey to Philly. I was trying
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: my hardest to be on time. I wanted to be
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: on time. Shout out to Rob Nicholson. He handles a
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: lot of the VIP stuff. And fan experience with the Knicks.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: He showed us a really amazing time. We had floor access.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: We had suite access. So I was like, you know,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: we're going to have all the things. Let's get there
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: so we can really enjoy it. Because by a certain time,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: my 4 a.m. wake up is going to hit me
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: and my battery is going to start burning down.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: So let's get there early. But it didn't happen.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: But I got there on time enough. Like we hadn't
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: missed much. Now, I knew going into this that LeBron
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: was not going to play. I'm like, it's preseason, you know,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: the big game, like their first real season opener game
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: is coming up soon. It is no way that we
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: are going to get LeBron suited up and on the court, period. Like,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: it's just not happening. But he was there, though. I mean, duh,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: it's his job. But I know people were like freaking
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: out to see.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Him on the court. He was sidelines on the court.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: in a sweatsuit.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: He had a burgundy sweatsuit on, but he had like
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: the old school, uh, the P the Philly set. Um,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: so people were like, I don't know. They were just
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: hyped to see him in Philly. I think, you know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: a few weeks ago or not a few weeks ago,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: about a week ago. Now there was video and photos
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: that went so viral of LeBron getting in the helicopter, uh,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: to leave from New York and go to Philadelphia he's
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: openly already said that he's going to be splitting his
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: time between New York and Philly with New York being
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: his primary home that he's here on the east coast
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: and people freaked out just seeing it um you know
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: it's a 45 minute helicopter ride I think people were
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: just excited to see him in the commute not to
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: make this dark but I you know I think it's
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: very like people think about Kobe and the helicopter and
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: you know that whole thing but LeBron was safe and
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: everything was good. But yeah, people were just excited. Philly
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: was really, really, really excited yesterday. So the energy there,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: even though it was a preseason game, was off the roof.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: People were outside. When we came in, I was like, oh,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: it's filled to the brim in here. I mean, not
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: near a seat empty by the time we got there.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: And again, I got there in the midst, like in
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: the middle, kind of near the end of the first quarter.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: And I was talking to one of the security guards.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: And they told me 16,000 people were there yesterday to
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: see LeBron James, to see, you To see the Sixers,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: to see the Knicks, to see Jalen Brunson, to see Cat.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: You know, I think for a lot of people, it's
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: like Carl Anthony Townsend's cat. For a lot of people,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: it's like you may not be able to score. You
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: may not be able to score tickets to the regular
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: season games. This is going to be a huge season
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: for both the Knicks and for the Sixers because of,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: you know, the Knicks and their championships. um and that
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: whole run they went on but then for the Sixers
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: because of all of the you know trades and the
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: star power um that you know people are excited about
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: with this new team with the Sixers so I I
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: knew I'm like LeBron's not getting on the court but
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: there will be a lot of people here but I
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: didn't expect that many people 16,000 and not only did
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: he because I was like oh whoa is this just
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: he was like yes crazy amount of people in here
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: and I was like you know is this crazy for
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: a preseason game Like, you guys just aren't used to
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: these numbers for a preseason game? He said, no, for
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: any game. Like, preseason, regular season, 16,000 people is insane.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: I'm like, yo, Philly is about to be nuts. You
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: have the people that are going to come out like
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: like me. I'm like a casual sporting person. Like I
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: go I like to enjoy the drinks, the food, the
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: people that are there. If it's in a city that
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: I'm not from. Well, I'm not from Philly, but like
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Delaware is like right next to Philly. So like it's
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: it was like being home yesterday. Like I know Philly.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: I'm not a tourist in Philly for the most part.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: But if it's a place that like I've never been,
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: I want to go. I want to be a tourist.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: I want to have a good time. And then we
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: also get a chance to watch the game. But there
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: are people that will come for that, and they are
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: expecting a big boost in tourism. But you also have
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: the people that are honestly just going to come because
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: of the love of the sport. And Philly fans is OD.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: I was in line going into the arena to see
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: the game, and I was seeing all the sports fans like,
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Showing up with, like, all their merch. They different ages.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: And a lot of them, too, what I love was
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: you're seeing people. So, like, the kids are there, but
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: it's not just, like, the kids and their parents. It's, like,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: the grandparents, the parents, the aunts, the uncles. Like, people,
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: they're out in full families. And everybody's in merch.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Head to toe. Sneakers. Caps. t-shirts, hoodies, everything, the way
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: that like.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Me being there and thinking about like my, my business
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: and how all of this is like running and how
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to facilitate it. I'm literally sitting there like, yo,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: I want the community that I'm building with the low
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: riders and across Bronco grinding and, you know, all the
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: things that God has in store for me. I wanted
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: to feel like how sports fans feel about their teams. Like,
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: so committed even when we were in line there was
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: there was like you know how they do like their
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: little rivalries right like you got people that show up
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: in their next gear people that show up in their
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: sixes gear like the conversations as we were going in
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: I'm like yo people are so dedicated to their sports
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: teams and have been for years and decades no matter
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: if the team is losing winning whatever I'm trying to
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: build that type of like loyalty and like like.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Y'all know what I mean?
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: If you guys are sports fans, you understand it. And
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: y'all are probably listening to this like, well, Lauren, where
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: have you been? Sports fans have been like this.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I know. My point is, is that now that I'm
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: building a platform, an audience.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: And these things that are keeping me up at night
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: to the point where I'm tired, I'm like, oh, this
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: got to make some sense. And I want it to
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: make sense no matter where we go and what we
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: decide to do. No matter the pivot, I want it
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: to make sense. The Sixers have just done a major pivot.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Great for the city, great for the team. But no
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: matter what would have happened this year with the Sixers
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: and their trades or lack thereof, those fans would have
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: showed up.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Maybe not 16,000, but enough to pay the bills.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Period. Oh, and I got a chance to see Jalen
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Brunson in person as well, too. Well, duh, because he
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: was there because he's playing. Jalen Brunson and Mike Brown,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: our coach, where I was sitting at, they did like
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: a huddle, just like a little sideline conversation, and they
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: were right there. And for me, even though I'm not
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: a fan of sports teams, and y'all are listening to
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: this like, girl, what? Just seeing them after watching, you know,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: they did SNL and all of the, like, culture-related things
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: that they did and Fallon and all these conversations and
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: then seeing them in their element, I'm watching from the
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: perspective of, too, like, all right, you know, you got LeBron,
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: who's a superstar here.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brown, superstar as well.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: A bunch of other people on the teams that are superstars.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Jalen Brunson, Mike Brown, they've come off a championship.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Super, super fast.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Like, Jalen Brunson has Law and Order SVU about to
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: come out. Just did SNL. And in that moment, they
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: are there and they are so locked in. None of
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: that stuff matters. Keeping the main thing the main thing
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: was literally the focal point. Like, I mean, Jalen Brown
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: with the Sixers, like, when I say he was, it
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: was a preseason game, but when I say he was, like, balling,
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, like, dunking, like, going crazy. And I didn't
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: expect that. I thought a lot of the bigger names
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: on the team would just be there chilling. But keeping
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: the main thing the main thing, because y'all know he'd
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: be on stream, he'd be everywhere. I got to see that.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: At an all-time high last night.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Like, shout out to the Sixers and the Knicks for
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: providing some motivation because, baby, I did not want to
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: get up this morning and come into work and record
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: this podcast or do anything.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: But I was like, you know what?
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: If I can enjoy all the perks and the sweets
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: and the things, got to keep the main thing the
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: main thing. That's how you get that community that are
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: locked in, like what those athletes and those sporting teams have.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Let's get into the latest. So speaking of fan bases, y'all,
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: the fans are causing a frenzy online.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: SZA.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: My girl SZA has the people going crazy right now.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: So first of all, SZA was over in Paris and
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: it's fashion week. All the girls outside looking beautiful, doing
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: all the things, the shows, the front seats, the runways.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: SZA is there show stopping and.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: People are excited because there are photos that were released online.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: via social, of her and Pharrell in the studio at
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: the LV headquarters. Now, there has been a lot of
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: music that has come out of that LV headquarters. Everybody's
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: talking about what it's like to go in to that
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: LV headquarters and record with Pharrell, and you got, you know,
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: all of the actual.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Seamstress and people working in the machines and all the
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: fashion stuff gone while you're there in this beautiful place
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: in Paris creating this music the clips have talked about
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: it and that's you know they had this major Grammy
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: run with the album that they produced with Pharrell Quavo
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: recently talked about it with his album Chrome Life that
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: recently dropped now SZA we see her in the photos
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: we don't know what's coming but we know something is
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: happening Now, I told you guys a few episodes back
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: that I actually got a chance to meet SZA at
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: Jay-Z and Beyonce's after party for the JN8 documentary premiere.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: And while we were there, we actually had a conversation
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: about music. And I told her, I'm like, honestly, I
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: was like debating. I was debating B. Miller, formerly of
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Rap Raider Podcast, because he was like, you know, there's
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: no girls after you talking to SZA. And I'm like,
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: that's because y'all music people talk like that. She has
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: created such a lane. There's mad girls right now in
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: that space. Y'all just don't pay no mind. It took
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: y'all years. The love says it the way that we
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: should have from the very beginning. How her fans did.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Period. Period.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: And I felt so good being able to say that
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: in front of her and to her. Because I know
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: what it's like. Like, everybody saw these pictures. I know
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: what it's like to... know you got the sauce, but
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: people just don't understand the taste, okay?
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: It ain't for everybody.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: The taste level ain't for everybody. But I think a
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: lot of times though, especially in work and in life,
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: people need to hear these things. They really need to
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: hear these things. So yeah, but I say all that
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: to say, when these photos started to circulate online, people
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: are hype, anticipating SZA's next project and what the music
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: is going to sound like. And baby, SZA is one
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: of the ones. And I'm glad to see people excited.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: But I always think about all the things that she's
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: had to endure through as a real creative and a
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: real artist who loves and is sensitive about her-ish because,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: you know, things, the music was always good. The visuals
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: were always good. The aesthetic was always fire. People talking about,
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: you know, her and, you know, some of her looks
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: at Fashion Week. SZA has been that girl. But I
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: think the world has arrived now to knowing that. And
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: it's just, crazy to me how those things happen she
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: also talked about while she was in paris paying paying
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: homage to solange solange is another creative and artist that
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: i look at and i admire she is on my
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: vision board of people i would love to sit down
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: and have a conversation with but work with and learn
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: from because i think with solange it's another one of
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: those things where like her art comes from like a
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: deeper place She's not doing nothing, whether it's creative, it's business,
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: that doesn't come from a deeper place. And it's something
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: that she feels like is going to enrich the world,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: but also just feed her spirit and enrich her spirit.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: And that is a life that I aspire to. Let's
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: take a listen to SZA talking about her makeup today.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Makeup reference.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: It was like half salamence, half just energy and vibes.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: I love a high energy color. I love, I'm usually
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: in fuchsia, but I went hot ass pink today and
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: I feel lifted energetically and literally on the internet.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: The internet is.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Low-key scaring me. I don't know what's real. And so
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: it's hard to be obsessed with things because I'm like,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: is this real? But also, I don't know. I'm seeing
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: a lot of cute animals.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: As usual.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: It's what's keeping me not infuriated. A lot of cute,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: random animals. Elephants is my new shit. They are very,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: very sweet and cute.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: And I love it. They'll also stomp you out.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Baby, Solange has been the inspo. And y'all know the
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: crazy thing? I saw this makeup trend trending. Um... because
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: of fashion week and you know i don't know if
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: it was balenciaga or gucci that did the overrun with
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: a lot of the like shadowy eyes they were calling
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: the clean girl look the clean cut look and i
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: love when we can pay homage to the girls who
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: actually made these things the thing okay shout out to
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: solange another thing though that that fans have been circulating
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: with sisa is the fact that there's a rumored conversation
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: that she may be in the lineup to headline coachella.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Now that would be insane.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: I did think though, you know, SZA, because I think
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: with Coachella, it's normally like when I have experienced Coachella,
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: it's like an artist who can like, it's the energy,
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: it's the jumping up and down.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: It's, you know, like festival vibes. SZA got them hits.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: She got the records, but SZA's a mood. And I
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: don't know if that mood, Coachella is worthy.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Of that mood. I was going to say if she fits,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: but I don't even know if it's that.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: I just don't know if that's like, I don't know
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: if I can see SZA doing Coachella only because I
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: think The way she sets up her stages and the
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: mood that you get from seeing her perform. I went
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: to go see her when she was on the GNX tour.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: She was co-headlining with Kendrick Lamar. I don't know if
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: Coachella is the place for it. I don't know if
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: it will be received well in that space because people
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: want something else. They want to jump up and down.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: They want to mosh pit. They want to dance. They
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: want to, and you can dance this isn't, you know,
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: all the things, but the energy is, is different. And
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: I don't even, I would have to figure out like
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: what her set list would be if she were to
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: do it. Cause she got them hits. But I don't
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: know if the hits that she has is a Coachella
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: based audience. And for those of you guys who've never
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: been to Coachella, it's a festival that happens in California.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: The part of California that it happens in, it's called Coachella,
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: which is why the festival is called that.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: It happens all weekend.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: They have various stages throughout the weekend with headliner and,
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Big acts closing out the weekend. But it's a big deal.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: In the last few years, I feel like that's honestly,
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: I would say two years. It hasn't made the noise.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: that I am used to it making. I know last
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: year people were talking about Justin Bieber and the fact
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: that he performed and was literally playing songs from his
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: YouTube channel.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, but look, even with that, Justin Bieber, people
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: weren't mad that he did a lot of his like melodic,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: more moody songs. And that's a lot with.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: SZA, so maybe she could. People were upset that he
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: performed them directly and straight off of YouTube. Like he
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: was playing YouTube videos and just covering the YouTube videos.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: That's what people were more upset about, not the actual
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: choice because he has that cult i'm trying to tell
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: y'all that cult community following an audience where they don't
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: care where he had they come in they come in in.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Drones so maybe it's just a clue also on that.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: List though speculated um is drake and uh radiohead as
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: well too drake i mean i think drake would be
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: phenomenal uh coachella uh radiohead i'm not a huge rocker
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: but you know they there are a few songs that
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: you know we learned through like commercials or whatever from
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: these like rock groups. But yeah, they said that they
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: were like, who they, what is being reported by some
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: music outlets is that BTS was actually in the conversation
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: for Coachella, but the negotiations fell through. BTS definitely has
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: that audience. I talked to y'all about them when we
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: left the iHeartRadio music festival in Vegas, their audience literally
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: wants to be in their skin.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: All 50 trillion million of them. It is insane. But
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: nothing officially announced yet. So we'll have to see.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: But if SZA or Drake does Coachella, I will go
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: back and do Coachella this year. It's been some years,
• 18:47
