  What's going on everybody? We are back for another episode
• 0:19
  of Not Cool in High school. I'm going to be doing a movie
• 0:21
  review here in a moment and I'm going to I'm going to take up
• 0:24
  the screen right now, but then very soon I'll be adding in my
• 0:27
  Co host who's getting ready, doing their own content while we
• 0:30
  film this. So we're recording A2 album
• 0:34
  reviews that are going to be two separate episodes for you guys
• 0:36
  to check out. But the first one we're
• 0:38
  recording is Chapel Roan, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest
• 0:42
  Princess. I don't really know much about
• 0:46
  them. I just before the show started,
• 0:48
  I was kind of reading up and learning some things.
• 0:50
  I'm very impressed by a lot of it.
• 0:52
  So I'm going to kind of pull from Wikipedia a little bit.
• 0:55
  And I was listening to some interviews with them.
• 0:57
  So I will pull from Wikipedia, which I know is factual because
• 1:01
  we all know Wikipedia cannot be an amazing source all the time.
• 1:03
  But The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Quit Princess is
• 1:06
  released in September 22nd, 2023.
• 1:08
  It was recorded between 2018 and 2023.
• 1:11
  It's a pop dance, alternative pop and Electro album.
• 1:14
  It's 49 minutes and 8 seconds. The label is Amusement and
• 1:19
  Island label producers. I'm not going to go through all
• 1:23
  that because I don't even know that stuff.
• 1:25
  I'm not that in depth when it comes to music and movies.
• 1:27
  I'm not like a producer all that.
• 1:29
  Maybe one day I'll change, but who knows.
• 1:32
  Some of the singles from this album Naked in Manhattan My
• 1:35
  Kinkus, Karma, Pheromone, Casual Kaleidoscope, Red Red Wine,
• 1:40
  Supernova, and Hot to Go with the most recent addition I guess
• 1:44
  being the Pink Pony Club which is blowing up.
• 1:47
  But I don't think it was a single.
• 1:48
  I don't think it was released as a single.
• 1:49
  These are all released as singles.
• 1:52
  It has pretty decent reviews. 7 out of 985 out of 100, four or
• 1:58
  five stars here between all these different places.
• 2:00
  It's it's up for tons of awards that we'll get to at the end.
• 2:04
  So a little bit about the album itself, ish.
• 2:07
  It was released in 20 September 22, as we talked about by
• 2:10
  Amusement and Imprint records. But when she first started, she
• 2:14
  was actually assigned to Atlantic Records and if she was
• 2:17
  18 years old, got pulled from her house and moved to Los
• 2:20
  Angeles, start doing all of her stuff and it was like full
• 2:23
  cleaning project. But when when she started
• 2:25
  working with the new producer and, and doing singles like Pink
• 2:29
  Body Club and all that stuff, it changed its identity.
• 2:31
  And she was actually end up dropped from her label during
• 2:35
  the pandemic because it was one of those times where if you
• 2:38
  weren't making money at that point in time, you just they
• 2:40
  didn't keep you. And she had to move back home.
• 2:43
  She had to get a job back at like at her local drive in.
• 2:46
  So she went from like signed music label artists to kind of
• 2:51
  restarting over, which is kind of inspiring because now she's
• 2:54
  super young and has a pretty decent head on her shoulders and
• 2:56
  she's killing it. And I think she's she's going to
• 2:58
  kill it. She's going to do really well
• 3:00
  when it comes to that. Because I think once you kind of
• 3:02
  hit the bottom and then come back up, it's a different
• 3:04
  experience. But from Missouri.
• 3:07
  And so around that time to the, the album kind of inspired her
• 3:12
  when it came to her own journey of self discovery.
• 3:15
  It it it navigated love, heartbreak and in the embrace of
• 3:18
  her own sexuality, sexual identity.
• 3:20
  I'm sorry, things that would become central to the record.
• 3:23
  Ronan stated that the rise and fall of of a Midwest Princess
• 3:27
  allowed her to come up with the concept and and come come to
• 3:29
  acceptance of her queerness and that her stage name and personal
• 3:33
  personal is a character compared to like a Ziggy Stardust or a
• 3:36
  David Bowie. So will she remain Chapel Rone
• 3:40
  or was this character changed throughout the course of her
• 3:42
  career? Possibly because that's kind of
• 3:45
  what she was inspired when it comes to this.
• 3:47
  But yeah, like I said, oh, for tons of awards, which we'll get
• 3:49
  back into more at the end of this.
• 3:51
  So we're going to go through each song.
• 3:53
  I'm not going to play the music here, obviously, because I'm not
• 3:56
  allowed to, but we're going to listen to a song and then kind
• 3:59
  of cut back in and talk about what we thought of that song.
• 4:04
  I'm going to keep the recording going the entire time.
• 4:06
  The ending on this is going to be a nightmare because Lily's
• 4:10
  video is going to just go continuously and it's going to
• 4:13
  be more inspired by the her makeup look.
• 4:17
  So we're going to take her whole footage from this podcast and
• 4:19
  time lapse and give it to her for her content.
• 4:21
  So make sure you go follow her on Witchcraft by Lily.
• 4:23
  And that's pretty much it. We're going to I'm going to let
• 4:26
  turn my camera off here and restart and then bring Lily's
• 4:28
  camera in and we're going to talk about this album, why we
• 4:31
  picked it and all that great stuff.
• 4:33
  So give us one second and we'll be right back.
• 4:36
  We're back. Not cool in high school.
• 4:38
  Lily has now joined me on screen already.
• 4:42
  I my my my camera looks insanely blue.
• 4:44
  I don't know how I like. I don't, I don't.
• 4:46
  I don't if it already did. It I put the pink lights on.
• 4:49
  I know it just I don't know if this camera's just bugging out
• 4:52
  because of the color, but we're going to rock with it.
• 4:54
  We're going to rock with it. So the we're going to be doing
• 4:59
  Chapel Rd. the Horizon fall of a Midwest prices.
• 5:02
  We're going to be on a track by track.
• 5:03
  We're going to cut the music out so you guys don't hear that and
• 5:06
  I don't get flagged, but we can't really read a trailer on
• 5:09
  it. We, I, I listened some
• 5:11
  interviews by her. I have heard some songs.
• 5:14
  So you're my first what what? What's your first take or our
• 5:17
  first take on her as an artist without listening to her full
• 5:21
  album based on the stuff you've heard?
• 5:23
  OK, so here's what I'm going to say is I know that the song came
• 5:26
  out or this album rather came out a few years ago.
• 5:30
  Hot to go was huge and it to me was overplayed.
• 5:34
  I was like, Oh my gosh, I don't know who this Chapel Rd. is, but
• 5:37
  like it was catchy, but it was like it got I felt like it got
• 5:41
  overplayed to the point where I was like, I don't even want to
• 5:43
  listen to the rest of her album. And that was bad on me.
• 5:47
  Because now here we are two years later and I'm like, OK, I
• 5:51
  need to listen to this. And I actually, I'm very excited
• 5:54
  about it now, now knowing more about her.
• 5:57
  Yeah, I, I've heard how to to go, but mine kind of I'm going
• 6:00
  to go in with my first take of I, I think she's very talented.
• 6:03
  I think I probably have listened to Pink Pony Club more than I've
• 6:06
  ever listened to how to go, to be completely honest.
• 6:09
  And I I think it's fine. Like I know I said we talked
• 6:12
  about in the car where like Lily was like, oh, she's the next big
• 6:14
  thing. This is unbelievable.
• 6:16
  She's just right and I'm like, she's a young 1819 year old
• 6:20
  girl, maybe young or older now, I don't know.
• 6:22
  She's. Like 25 now.
• 6:23
  She's what? She's like 25. 20 in her 20s and
• 6:26
  I'm like it happens all the time.
• 6:28
  They bring in a new face, they get them ready and then they
• 6:31
  fucking discard them when they no longer are are use.
• 6:34
  It's it's hard to in today's in anything entertainment sports to
• 6:39
  have longevity because if you're not performing right then and
• 6:42
  there, you're gone. And and and that's and it's even
• 6:45
  worse now than ever because money is so crazy where if they
• 6:48
  don't make money immediately, they just they abandoned ship.
• 6:51
  I think she's very good. I think her voice is very good.
• 6:55
  From what I heard of Pink Pony Club and taught to go.
• 7:00
  I don't know. For me going in first hand, and
• 7:04
  I don't know if it's much of her voice that's compelling.
• 7:08
  I think she has a great voice, but I don't think she has a
• 7:10
  voice that like if you listen to, you're like, oh, that shout
• 7:12
  will roll. Like to me anyway.
• 7:14
  I don't think I've listened to enough of her that I can pick
• 7:16
  her voice out of a lineup. I think after after you listen
• 7:19
  to this, sure. Yeah, because I consume more.
• 7:21
  But also I I will say that I think what makes her allure
• 7:27
  better is her style is her art and her songwriting.
• 7:29
  I think her songwriting is probably her best attribute to
• 7:33
  her as a musician. And I think I, I said this, we
• 7:36
  were talking, you were saying we talked a little bit about her in
• 7:39
  the car because I was like, I'm, I'm really very quickly falling
• 7:42
  in love with her. I think she is the next Lady
• 7:44
  Gaga. I think that she's very much on
• 7:47
  that same level where she is talented in, in multiple
• 7:51
  different facets. And I think she's, whether she
• 7:55
  is as Chapel Roaner or something else in the future, I, I still
• 7:58
  think she's going to be a huge, she's going to be a household
• 8:01
  name. She is a household.
• 8:02
  Name absolutely unless I want that for her like I I'm never
• 8:04
  going to sit here and say I don't think an artist should
• 8:06
  deserves anything or I think people are are like everyone
• 8:09
  consumes art differently and just because an art isn't for
• 8:12
  you, it doesn't mean it's bad. It just means it's not stuff
• 8:15
  you're into and and and I think I'm going to challenge myself by
• 8:18
  listening to more out movies and and watch more things and take
• 8:21
  in new things and review things that are out of my comfort
• 8:23
  zones. I think that makes you a better
• 8:25
  rounded person as well. So when did you first hear about
• 8:29
  this and how? I'll start off, I first heard
• 8:32
  about this at drug shows. This is where I consume Chapel
• 8:35
  Row. We went to see a Miss Misprint
• 8:37
  show and hot to go play it. And then we went to another drag
• 8:40
  show and hot to go play it. And then we went to Pride and
• 8:43
  hot to go play. It was like that year's Pride
• 8:45
  anthem. It was it was, it was the dance.
• 8:48
  The, the, the, the, the, the, the, the.
• 8:51
  I thought it was like the gay. It was a gay or YMCA.
• 8:55
  TT Yeah, OGO like the G. The Village People made a gay
• 9:00
  anthem, but then don't claim their game.
• 9:02
  Like they don't claim it is a gay anthem.
• 9:05
  And then they went and toured the world with Donald Trump.
• 9:07
  Not trying to make this about that but like now there's like a
• 9:09
  new. There's a new.
• 9:11
  Better there's a gay or YMCA and it's hot to go and I don't think
• 9:14
  that's a I'm not saying that in a negative way.
• 9:16
  I think that's beautiful. I don't use gay.
• 9:18
  So here's the thing. I don't use gay anymore as a
• 9:20
  negative connotation. Like I think it describes
• 9:23
  something, but I don't think it is It's AI don't think it is a
• 9:25
  negative. I hope that I hope, I hope I
• 9:28
  have the power to say that, but you don't use it as a it's not
• 9:32
  as I'm not making it demeaning or lesser than when I say it's
• 9:35
  gayer. I think people who still use gay
• 9:38
  in a negative connotation will in a.
• 9:40
  Non ironic. Way I think they'll think I'm
• 9:42
  doing it that way, but I'm not. When I say something's gay, I
• 9:46
  mean, oh, that's, that's definitely queer culture.
• 9:48
  Wrestling is. Gay wrestling is so gay.
• 9:50
  Like ghost is gay. Ghost is super gay and I love
• 9:53
  it. It's, it's just, yeah, exactly
• 9:56
  like you said, it's the culture. Yeah, or even if it's.
• 9:59
  I don't know if Ghost would identify as gay, but I think
• 10:02
  they're definitely allies. No, absolutely.
• 10:05
  But I don't know, no. I'm not saying that Tobias Forge
• 10:08
  is gay. I'm saying that the concept of
• 10:11
  Ghost overall is very like, It's very theatrical.
• 10:14
  It's very dramatic. It's very.
• 10:16
  Devil. And he also the devil.
• 10:17
  See, Jesus may not like the gays, but the devil loves you.
• 10:20
  Come home. Yeah, but yeah.
• 10:24
  So that's where I kind of heard about it.
• 10:25
  What about you? I'm sorry about what?
• 10:28
  How do you first learn about chaparral OR?
• 10:30
  Oh I'll be honest, I think the first time I heard chaparral was
• 10:33
  probably TikTok. Like what?
• 10:36
  Huge on TikTok. It's a good.
• 10:37
  That's a good and. That's probably why I thought it
• 10:40
  was so overplayed was because it was just like you couldn't go
• 10:43
  more than like to skipping through 22 videos that it would
• 10:47
  be another Chapel. Road.
• 10:48
  Yeah, like. Themed thing.
• 10:50
  Yeah, we're going to get into it.
• 10:51
  The first song on this album is called Pheromone.
• 10:53
  I hope I'm going to say that, right?
• 10:55
  No, it's Farrah Minionum. I'm probably saying that, right?
• 11:00
  I don't. You're not helping me out here.
• 11:02
  We're not prepared with your phone.
• 11:03
  Phenomenal, isn't it? No.
• 11:06
  Is it like it looks like femme? It might be phenomenon I'm an
• 11:10
  idiot. It might be that I'm dumb.
• 11:13
  Sometimes dyslexia kicks in and I have a hard time pronouncing.
• 11:16
  Sometimes. Hold on, I'm being open and
• 11:17
  honest. I struggle with that.
• 11:19
  I struggle with speech sometimes as a podcaster and the color on
• 11:22
  this camera is driving me fucking crazy.
• 11:25
  It keeps going from purple to I'm just.
• 11:28
  Going to it's feminominon. All right, Feminominon.
• 11:31
  OK, I probably didn't say that right again.
• 11:33
  All right. You did.
• 11:34
  You got it that time all. Right, so we're going to go to
• 11:36
  the first song. This one has 253,000 plays on
• 11:42
  Spotify. It is 3.
• 11:43
  It's 3 minutes and 39 seconds. So yeah, we'll be right back.
• 11:49
  I'm going to and and talk about this song once we're done.
• 11:54
  All right, we're back. Feminominon, we're back.
• 11:59
  What do you think? I love it.
• 12:01
  I'm over here like have. You heard that song before?
• 12:03
  Yes. Well, so this Full disclosure,
• 12:05
  I've listened to this whole album.
• 12:06
  I downloaded it maybe about a month ago and I've been
• 12:09
  listening to it under repeat. So I'm excited that.
• 12:12
  We're So what do you get out of this song?
• 12:14
  I, I think it's very much like get ready because we're coming.
• 12:19
  Like I think it's the, I'm not going to say like you're, you're
• 12:23
  trying to silence us, but like for being the opening song of
• 12:26
  the album, it's like that you, you know fully what to expect
• 12:29
  from the album. OK, so I, I get a few different
• 12:34
  notes on this and I my perception of what I feel is
• 12:37
  probably not right and but it is what how I feel and that's what
• 12:40
  we're here for, right? I'm ABJ, you fucking love me.
• 12:43
  You're here for my takes. So my take is I get Barbie movie
• 12:47
  with this song, like I feel like for real, realistically, I feel
• 12:51
  like there's been a more of a woman, a new woman, hear me roar
• 12:56
  fucking we can do it movement that I think really started and
• 13:00
  I know this this album was made kind of in that time frame, But
• 13:03
  for me, when it really caught on was like the Barbie movie where
• 13:07
  I feel like women really like stood up and and I actually let
• 13:11
  me take it back. I think women really started
• 13:13
  saying go fuck yourself with the overturning of Roe V Wade and I
• 13:17
  and I that. So let me start with that.
• 13:19
  That's where the fucking movement we're like, you know,
• 13:21
  we're we're in a situation where we could be silenced here.
• 13:24
  And and it wasn't just women, it was the culture, it was gay
• 13:27
  culture, it was LGBTQ. It was this this administration
• 13:31
  really said like no, you're going to be silenced.
• 13:33
  And and, and women and people of the culture and and allies are
• 13:36
  like all said no, no. And I feel like this movement,
• 13:40
  this feminominon is like this the Barbie, like I get Barbie
• 13:44
  movie notes, but I also this song that opened up where was
• 13:47
  like, oh, she's a she's a Taylor Swift.
• 13:48
  She's going to be very poppy. And listen, I've been I've been
• 13:52
  proven wrong with Taylor Swift too.
• 13:53
  I thought Taylor Swift was made for little girls and made for
• 13:56
  kids. And Taylor is not about that
• 13:57
  too. She'll talk about sex and
• 13:59
  everything like that and and adult content.
• 14:01
  And I think chaperone kind of hits you in the beginning with
• 14:04
  that really, really soft. We were first young and like
• 14:10
  that very Taylor Swift ish, like innocent vibe.
• 14:14
  And then she's like play a fucking beat.
• 14:16
  And then she start talking about getting guy, making it hot and
• 14:19
  all these other stuff. And it's like, I think it really
• 14:21
  sets a tone of like, I'm not I may be young.
• 14:24
  I may be. I think she's talking about a
• 14:28
  girl she's been about being with a girl like.
• 14:32
  Well, she said multiple times in the song he and news.
• 14:34
  Yeah, but she's talking about like the differences, I feel
• 14:37
  like between going with a guy and then going with a girl.
• 14:41
  Yeah, yeah. But I don't know.
• 14:44
  I just think she really opens up and she's letting you know that
• 14:46
  she's younger, but she's not. It's not a it's not a bubble
• 14:49
  gum. Just because she's young doesn't
• 14:51
  mean she's innocent. Yeah, and she's not, she's not
• 14:53
  catering to a younger demographic or younger crowd,
• 14:57
  you know what I mean? I think she is.
• 14:58
  She's singing and I think she's ahead of her time when it comes
• 15:01
  to where she is mentally, of who she is as a person and finding
• 15:03
  herself. That's where I'm at.
• 15:05
  I gave it a 3.5. I think it's a really good song,
• 15:08
  I thought. We were going to do like a
• 15:09
  overall album. Or do track by track and then we
• 15:11
  can see how it makes us feel. We can come back to you.
• 15:16
  Come back. All right, all right.
• 15:18
  Next song on the list. And I, I was reading the lyrics
• 15:20
  there too. Like I follow along with the
• 15:21
  lyrics. Yeah, like so so baby, let's get
• 15:27
  freaky, get kinky. Let the bed, let's get the bed,
• 15:30
  get squeaky, baby, come on over. Why don't you come on over Red
• 15:33
  wine Supernova and fall Falling into Me, which is another song
• 15:36
  later, right? Red.
• 15:37
  Wine supernova is the next. Song, really, because she ends
• 15:42
  with those two lyrics. Red wine Supernova fall right
• 15:44
  into me. No, the next song is after
• 15:48
  midnight. Sorry, sorry.
• 15:50
  Let me go back. Make sure we're not skipping it
• 15:53
  is red wine supernova. All right, here we go.
• 15:56
  Next song, Red wine supernova. So that's interesting.
• 15:58
  The lyrics for the fun song lead into the next.
• 16:01
  I like that. That's clever.
• 16:03
  Here we go, red wine. Grateful Dead, I said.
• 16:06
  How very Grateful Dead. I'm not a huge Grateful Dead
• 16:08
  fan. I didn't know they did that
• 16:09
  either. Anyway, Red Wine Supernova
• 16:13
  441,000,000 plays. Yeah, and over, over.
• 16:20
  It's just crazy numbers and this is insane. 3 minutes 12 seconds.
• 16:23
  Let's get into it. Red wine supernova.
• 16:26
  All right, we're back after that song.
• 16:28
  So I I was wrong the last. Song pulled the Grateful Dead
• 16:31
  now. No, the last song did not end
• 16:33
  with those lyrics. Correct.
• 16:35
  I said how Grateful Dead of you because and I'm laughing because
• 16:38
  of the lyrics of the song. I don't care that you're a
• 16:40
  Stoner because I feel like you just got too stoned and started
• 16:43
  really reading the lyrics from the next.
• 16:45
  Song. Yeah, the next song already
• 16:46
  started and I was looking through and stuff and yeah, so I
• 16:50
  I made that mistake, I mean. I, I just, it was funny.
• 16:53
  So what do you think of Red Wine Supernova?
• 16:55
  What do you get from it? I so OK, so first of all, I
• 17:00
  think this is where I kind of pull that Lady Gaga where I say
• 17:04
  she she gives that Lady Gaga for me for the song You and I, where
• 17:09
  it's kind of like starts out as kind of an almost country song
• 17:13
  and then goes into more of like a pop ballad.
• 17:15
  OK but I I love this song. I I I I I If if there's any
• 17:21
  question if the first song was about a guy, the second one's
• 17:24
  totally not. 1000% about a. Girl, yeah, this one's
• 17:27
  definitely about a girl. So I think this is definitely
• 17:29
  she's showing maybe her, her sexuality is changing and she's
• 17:32
  thinking about other things or having experiences where she's
• 17:35
  definitely, definitely finding her queerness, which is, which
• 17:39
  is interesting. I like in the hook when it like
• 17:43
  the beat is there, but then they replace the beat with an
• 17:45
  acoustic guitar. You kind of hear it faintly in
• 17:47
  the background, like the damn it, like the strumming.
• 17:50
  I thought that was really cool. Yeah, it's, it's a banger.
• 17:54
  I I'll give this one. It's also a 3.5.
• 17:56
  I guess I protect that 4 fours for me are 5.
• 17:59
  So if I hear me saying 3.5, that's not that's like that's,
• 18:02
  that's a really, really good score on my five scale.
• 18:06
  But I like it. I think it's a bop.
• 18:07
  I, I, it's definitely a song that I can see drag Queens
• 18:10
  performing and dancing too, and not just leaning into the hit
• 18:13
  songs like I think this is this I.
• 18:14
  Think this entire album. Can be performed, yes.
• 18:17
  OK, I I, I so far, I would say Red Wine Supernovas I like more
• 18:22
  than a feminomenon, but I but I think they're both good songs,
• 18:25
  but they still are the same score.
• 18:28
  Anything else you want to add to this one?
• 18:31
  Nope. All right, well, let's get to
• 18:32
  the next one, which is going to be after midnight, all right?
• 18:37
  This is after midnight for me. This I get like, she's out party
• 18:43
  and she's exploring. She's fighting herself.
• 18:45
  She's becoming now like socially active is where I'm getting with
• 18:48
  this one. And when she's out there, she's
• 18:50
  really finding out. She maybe is bisexual,
• 18:53
  pansexual, whatever, whatever that may lie into.
• 18:57
  Yeah, she's just partying. She's being young, She's living
• 19:00
  free. She's finding herself finding
• 19:03
  who she is maybe, but I know she kind of talked about maybe I
• 19:06
  have a little bit of a more insight on this because she
• 19:08
  talked about this song on an interview we listened to where
• 19:11
  after midnight, nothing good happens after midnight.
• 19:13
  But for her, it was like some of her best times.
• 19:15
  And I know the people, some people might think, well, that's
• 19:18
  debauchery and the craziness, but that's part of living and
• 19:21
  growing up and experiencing the world and experiencing life.
• 19:24
  And I don't know, I think it was a cool.
• 19:26
  I think it was a cool song. I'm also trying to like, I'm
• 19:29
  taking notes as I do this and I don't know how to erase on my on
• 19:33
  my when I'm drawing on my notepad.
• 19:35
  So that that's fun. So yeah, after midnight.
• 19:40
  What do you think? I think it gives very it's
• 19:47
  almost like I don't want to, I don't want to compare her to
• 19:50
  other people, but it's a very disco E song.
• 19:52
  I got disco as well. And almost like I feel like Dua
• 19:56
  Lipa is in the same vein. It's a very Dua Lipa E song.
• 20:01
  It's. It's got that it's got that
• 20:04
  rhythm that wants to like it's very catchy, but I it's also
• 20:07
  very easy to just kind of find yourself dancing to it.
• 20:11
  And I think that the other thing I really like about the song,
• 20:16
  like you were saying, like she's exploring, but she's I think
• 20:19
  she's kind of like not even just exploring, but she's saying
• 20:22
  like, oh, again, not, I guess not putting words.
• 20:26
  But how I take it is like, Oh, you think I'm I want to be with
• 20:30
  a guy. Well, let me switch that up on
• 20:32
  you. I'll go be with a girl now.
• 20:34
  Oh, you think I'm going to be with a girl?
• 20:35
  Well, let me switch up on that too.
• 20:36
  And I'll go be with a guy now. Like it's I'm going to do me.
• 20:40
  Whether you're thinking about me in this way or whatever way
• 20:43
  you're thinking about me, it doesn't really matter.
• 20:45
  I'm going to do me. I will say this, if someone came
• 20:47
  up to me at a bar and said, Hey, can I kiss your girlfriend?
• 20:52
  If you don't mind or came up to you and say, can I kiss your
• 20:55
  boyfriend? That would be my new favorite
• 20:57
  purse. I was like, what?
• 20:59
  All right, let's party. No, I thought it was fun.
• 21:02
  It I definitely get that club vibe and I don't go to a lot of
• 21:05
  clubs, but that's just I don't know where I'm at.
• 21:08
  It's a cool, it's a fun, it's a little fun little banger.
• 21:10
  I'm into it. I'm also the 3.5 of this.
• 21:14
  I didn't hate this song. If it came on, I wouldn't, I
• 21:16
  wouldn't mind it. So far we're three songs in and
• 21:19
  I wouldn't mind if if this album played like this all the way
• 21:23
  through, like there's not a song like I think it's a low moment.
• 21:25
  I will say this, I, I, I get a little dual leap of what you're
• 21:28
  saying there. I still get a lot of Taylor
• 21:30
  Swift when I hear her right now. As of now.
• 21:34
  Do you mean in her voice? Her voice and style, because I
• 21:37
  think she's very folk poppy. I don't.
• 21:40
  I don't. No.
• 21:45
  I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I'm just saying I think that
• 21:48
  they are. I think it's still very
• 21:51
  different. I could see how I can see where
• 21:53
  you're coming from. But at the same time, I think
• 21:55
  that when you listen to the lyrics and stuff, like I think
• 21:58
  that Taylor Swift does talk a lot about a heartbreak, but a
• 22:02
  lot about how to be independent. Whereas I think Chapel Roan is
• 22:05
  very like, I'm not going to talk about all the sadness.
• 22:09
  I'm just here to be like, this is who I am.
• 22:12
  But yeah, I think I think she's ahead of the curve when it comes
• 22:14
  to putting herself out there to the public quicker than Taylor
• 22:17
  Swift has been. Yeah, but I I definitely think
• 22:20
  their style and their voice style and structure is similar
• 22:22
  to me. OK Yeah.
• 22:25
  All right, next song. Coffee.
• 22:28
  All right, coffee. Just plain I'm.
• 22:31
  Always like this close to being done with whatever color I'm on.
• 22:34
  Let me start again. Yeah, this is definitely not a
• 22:41
  tailor vibe. You know how I get this one?
• 22:43
  Billie Eilish. No Adele.
• 22:45
  Oh, I get Billie Eilish. Yeah.
• 22:48
  But I mean I I still love Adele too.
• 22:52
  So this this is your first maybe breakup.
• 22:54
  Maybe the guy in the first song is her, is her love interest,
• 22:58
  her guy, her normalcy to the human world where it's a guy
• 23:02
  versus girl. Comfortability.
• 23:04
  Well, I'm going to say societal norm 2 words like oh you're a
• 23:07
  girl, you should be with a guy. The whole 9 where it just feels
• 23:09
  like everything, but maybe she has a little bit of a sexual
• 23:11
  side when she's with him. But then the second song, she
• 23:14
  kind of goes to the club, finds her own sexuality, tries girls,
• 23:17
  tries guys and maybe has a different experience with women
• 23:20
  that maybe guys don't. And then this guy just seeing
• 23:23
  like maybe a lot of their relationship was more sexual
• 23:26
  charge instead of like more mentally connected.
• 23:29
  They were more physically connected where every time they
• 23:31
  go to hang out, it's it kind of always leads to sex instead of
• 23:36
  conversation or feeling like she's wanted or accepted.
• 23:39
  And that's kind of what I get out of this song.
• 23:41
  But also like I think guys are, and I'm not defending dudes
• 23:44
  here, but I'm maybe giving perspective from the dude.
• 23:47
  But like if a dude is maybe a very sexual person or a very,
• 23:51
  we're, we're like Cavemen. Like we, we want steak, beer and
• 23:54
  sex. Like it's not, we're not hard
• 23:56
  creatures to figure out. Like, you know what I mean?
• 23:59
  Like I, I think at the core, we're very dumb and simplistic
• 24:02
  where women are not. And I think especially if, if
• 24:07
  you cater to what a guy normally likes and then they don't know
• 24:11
  how to rewire that and they think that you enjoy that and
• 24:14
  they don't know how to express themselves.
• 24:16
  Because also we're dumb simplistic creatures, but also
• 24:18
  we don't, we're not in touch with our emotions as we should
• 24:21
  be and we're not in touch with how it makes other people feel.
• 24:24
  So I think there is guys who are monsters and I think there's
• 24:27
  guys who just aren't, they don't have themselves figured out and
• 24:30
  they, they project that onto a lot of females where that, you
• 24:33
  know what I mean? Like, I don't think, I don't
• 24:35
  think we overthink it as much. And, and, but I definitely from
• 24:39
  a, from a female perspective, I think coffee sums up that thing
• 24:43
  of like, hey, sometimes maybe chill out with the physical
• 24:45
  contact, chill out with the, it doesn't have to be sex all the
• 24:48
  time. Like learn about her, feel about
• 24:50
  her, understand where she's at, be more there for her.
• 24:53
  And I think coffee is a great way of conveying that.
• 24:56
  I don't disagree with that. I'm not I first of all, I love
• 25:00
  that everything pretty much that you just said because that that
• 25:03
  is very much you know, I've already been in that situation.
• 25:06
  So like that is very much like, you know, the situation I was in
• 25:11
  rather. So the that situation was the
• 25:14
  first person who came to my mind when listening to this song.
• 25:18
  So I do think that it's very much that feeling of like, why
• 25:22
  can't I just be more than having sex with like, like why can't?
• 25:26
  Well, can I, can I kind of not put you out there, but maybe I'm
• 25:30
  just saying I, I think you've had a lot of coffee experiences.
• 25:33
  Well. I think that I think that not
• 25:36
  even just I don't I don't I disagree with that.
• 25:38
  I don't think I've had a lot of coffee experiences.
• 25:40
  I think that I've had a few, but I think that I I get a lot of
• 25:47
  friendship, coffee, things where it's like I don't even man, I'm
• 25:55
  trying not to get emotional. Just like from when we first
• 25:58
  started dating, you had a lot of guys who were still hitting you
• 26:00
  up and talking to you and that's.
• 26:01
  Because I got this BPD, you know?
• 26:03
  What you're saying, you're saying BPD, but these guys maybe
• 26:09
  at that point in time really enjoyed this physical
• 26:13
  connection, maybe looked at you differently because of the
• 26:16
  industries you were in, the things you were a part of.
• 26:18
  But I. Think that you're so far wrong
• 26:19
  too, that the person that this, this that, that the situation
• 26:24
  that you know about. I was never in a sexual industry
• 26:27
  when that happened like that. My point is that when I'm not
• 26:32
  even talking about my situation anymore, going back to the song,
• 26:35
  I feel that everyone has had that feeling of of.
• 26:39
  It's not even just, hey, you can't meet me at this level.
• 26:43
  It's I had so much more feeling for you and I expected more.
• 26:47
  And I know that if I put myself out there again, I'm just going
• 26:50
  to get hurt by you again. And I can't trust you.
• 26:52
  I think she says that in there. Maybe if I trusted you, but
• 26:55
  like, I can't trust you with that part of me again because
• 26:58
  I've, I've given that to you and you've burned me so many times.
• 27:01
  Yeah, yeah, totally, totally. And I think this is a, a thing
• 27:04
  that I once again, if a guy is understanding and touching
• 27:08
  himself, understands other people, has feelings and
• 27:10
  emotions and not always block out their own because that's
• 27:13
  fellas, that's a toxic trait we have that I think more guys
• 27:17
  would be receptive to this conversation.
• 27:19
  But I think a lot of a lot of dudes out there, I know.
• 27:22
  And I don't think it's going to get any better with the climate
• 27:24
  we're in right now, unfortunately.
• 27:26
  But I think I think it is healthy to learn about yourself
• 27:29
  and learn about just not you or how you can how you conduct
• 27:32
  yourself to other people around you, but also being
• 27:34
  understanding of your women. And I think more women should be
• 27:37
  heard and understood. And I.
• 27:39
  Feel like you feel. I feel like you're not sure this
• 27:42
  is such a straight thing. And I don't mean that in a bad
• 27:44
  way, but I mean it. Is.
• 27:45
  I mean, I'm coming from a straight perspective.
• 27:47
  Absolutely. But like.
• 27:49
  Real quick, but I think that. Everybody should learn about
• 27:52
  their partners, not just. Not just when I'm just coming
• 27:55
  from listen, this song is very girl power.
• 27:57
  This song is very It is, but it's.
• 27:58
  Also very not. It's very much we're not
• 28:00
  talking. I just get a thought out real
• 28:02
  quick. I'm sorry, I'm just saying this
• 28:03
  song and this album represents sexuality.
• 28:06
  This album represents bisexuality, community,
• 28:09
  womenhood. And a straight dude 9 times of
• 28:12
  10 is not going to listen to this album because it's not
• 28:14
  their cup of tea. It's not what they want to hear.
• 28:17
  But I'm saying as a straight dude who's open minded, who
• 28:19
  wants to learn about things, who have put himself in situations
• 28:22
  to learning about the community and, and lists, actually
• 28:24
  listening to women and and hearing what they go through.
• 28:27
  And I'm just, I'm trying to get the perspective from the other
• 28:30
  side of the coin. That's all I'm doing.
• 28:34
  Go ahead, finish what you're saying now.
• 28:36
  I don't think anywhere in here did she say he.
• 28:40
  Yes, 100. Percent and all I'm saying is
• 28:42
  that like, I think the point here is that like anybody can
• 28:45
  hurt you. And that's what I'm saying like
• 28:47
  even in a in a friendship way of like, well, I'm not saying that
• 28:50
  it's not sexually charged or anything like that, but in the
• 28:55
  in the vein of I I'll meet you here, I'll do these things with
• 29:00
  you because I know that this is where I feel safe with you.
• 29:03
  And like I feel that same way with friendships.
• 29:05
  Like hey, I'll go hang out with you in a public setting, but I
• 29:09
  don't want to hang out with you at your house like I.
• 29:12
  And I sound corrected you. She did not say he in that song.
• 29:15
  My brain just went to he. And that's that's why I was like
• 29:18
  your turn and I didn't mean this.
• 29:19
  And that's why I was saying I don't mean it in a nasty way,
• 29:21
  just that I, like I said, the first time I heard that song, I
• 29:25
  did initially think of the person that hurt me in that same
• 29:28
  way in a sexual innate. It was a man who made me feel
• 29:31
  like it was all about sex. And and like I said, not saying
• 29:34
  that this isn't sexually charged because it definitely is.
• 29:37
  But listening to me, the more that I listen to it, the more I
• 29:41
  connect it with other relationships as well, not just
• 29:45
  that's fair a sexual relationship.
• 29:46
  Four out of five. I have my first four.
• 29:49
  This one honestly brought me to tears the first time I heard it.
• 29:51
  I would give this one a full 5. Yeah, good song.
• 29:53
  All right, next one up is going to be casual.
• 29:56
  All right, casual, casual. I'm sorry maybe my straight
• 30:02
  friend, but this once again feels like.
• 30:04
  AI think this ties into the last one.
• 30:05
  Though Yeah dude I I see this as a as a straight relationship
• 30:10
  with guy girl. No, no, no.
• 30:13
  I see this as like almost like a in the closet, like let's just
• 30:18
  keep this on the down low. But I still want everything that
• 30:21
  like comes in a relationship, but I don't want everybody to
• 30:23
  know about it. And I was, I was trying to put
• 30:25
  myself there too of maybe this girl brings her around, brings
• 30:32
  her in almost like a girlfriend, but is not willing to tell her
• 30:34
  family that she is with this girl.
• 30:36
  Here's a straight dude question right here because of the lyric
• 30:40
  that says I fucked you in the bathroom where you went when we
• 30:42
  went to dinner. Yes, I would still say I fucked
• 30:44
  a girl even if I didn't have a penis or a strap on.
• 30:47
  So that's where my straight brain kicks in.
• 30:49
  If I went in, I. Knew that that's exactly what
• 30:51
  you're going to ask. I would so I would still say
• 30:54
  like. If I went into the bathroom, we
• 30:55
  went to the bathroom and we just did.
• 30:57
  Like for a guy fucking a girl is using your Dick right?
• 31:02
  But in other relationships, even gay ones, not every dude, I
• 31:06
  don't think every gay dude considers.
• 31:08
  I have had. I have.
• 31:09
  Had penetration to a orphan, so. So if I've if I've been naked
• 31:14
  with a girl and she didn't have a strap on and we've been doing
• 31:19
  stuff and both of us come to climax.
• 31:22
  He fucked. But I didn't use a dildo or I
• 31:24
  didn't use that. That's what I mean like.
• 31:27
  My straight brain. That's how I say it.
• 31:28
  Like, yeah, like me and her hooked up, we fucked like, yeah,
• 31:30
  whatever. Even if I'm whether I'm, you
• 31:32
  know, penetrating her. Yeah, penetration, we're talking
• 31:36
  about that on the podcast Yeah, I like I like this song.
• 31:41
  I once again, I think there's a lot of communication.
• 31:43
  Maybe, maybe there is the element of the dude where he
• 31:46
  doesn't know if he wants that commitment and she or kind of
• 31:49
  wants the commitment and, and that's the whole thing there.
• 31:51
  Or on the other side, we talked about how it can be with, you
• 31:54
  know, maybe the girl is not open to being gay in front of her
• 31:57
  family and. What if I, what if I flip this
• 32:00
  around on you like the way that I read this or originally
• 32:04
  listening to it? Because I did, like I said, I
• 32:07
  didn't really listen to her straight out the gate.
• 32:09
  I kind of got to know more about her.
• 32:11
  And then I was like, OK, I'm going to give this a second
• 32:12
  shot. I feel like she wrote this not
• 32:16
  saying that she did, but I almost put myself in the
• 32:19
  perspective of like, what if she was with the girl and this was
• 32:22
  the girl writing this, this note to her as like, you need to come
• 32:26
  out now. And so like, you need to just,
• 32:29
  you know, I'm sitting here introducing you to my family and
• 32:32
  everything, but we're just keeping it casual.
• 32:34
  And like, I think that her writing this song was kind of
• 32:37
  like getting it out, you know what I mean?
• 32:39
  What? What are we ranking?
• 32:39
  Casual? I would give this song.
• 32:43
  I give this one like a four, like I'm I'm listen this overall
• 32:47
  album. I know we're going to do this
• 32:48
  later, but if I could, I would give every.
• 32:50
  I give everyone of these A5. Yeah, I think this song is a
• 32:53
  four. I'm going to go.
• 32:53
  This is going to break the four for me as well.
• 32:55
  I I think she is a brilliant songwriter.
• 32:58
  I think when earlier I was reading that she was getting
• 33:00
  into like folk music. You can tell that because like a
• 33:03
  lot of folk, people write some deep ass shit.
• 33:06
  She's Midwest. You know she's from Missouri,
• 33:08
  right? Yeah.
• 33:10
  Very good songwriter. She kind of has that like, yeah,
• 33:12
  the the tones of like the the Midwest.
• 33:14
  And there's there's lyrics in her songs too that are very
• 33:17
  explicit and she's unapologetic for it.
• 33:19
  But she doesn't make it a big deal when she's saying it in the
• 33:22
  song. So it doesn't come off as a big
• 33:24
  deal, but like it's not leading me out.
• 33:25
  It's not like when somebody says like, fuck right and they're
• 33:28
  like fuck like they got to put the emphasis on it.
• 33:31
  She just kind of is a casual. Yeah, it's very, it's very.
• 33:36
  It's just second nature. It's not like, let me put the
• 33:38
  emphasis on it. This is just me talking.
• 33:41
  All right, well, we're we're we just hit 5 songs in.
• 33:43
  We're at song 6, which I is close to the halfway point of
• 33:46
  this album. There's 14 songs total.
• 33:48
  So let's get into the next one when it's super graphic, ultra
• 33:51
  modern girl, so super graphic. I'm excited to hear what the
• 33:55
  fucking lyrics of this one's going to be.
• 33:58
  Also on this album, by the way, the last coffee only 61 million
• 34:05
  plays, which I know is like, oh, only right.
• 34:08
  But like compared to red wine supernova and then after
• 34:10
  midnight has 136 million coffee to only have 61, I think is a
• 34:15
  criminal. I think more people should
• 34:16
  listen to that song. I know maybe some people don't
• 34:20
  because I think it's maybe some people should hear it.
• 34:22
  And that's that's usually where it comes into your art where
• 34:24
  like the good stuff with substances and I was going to be
• 34:27
  consumed. But casuals that back up to the
• 34:28
  big numbers with 360, 366 million super graphic ultra
• 34:34
  modern girl, it's going to be at 150 million plays, which is
• 34:37
  still fucking amazing. Every song has over 1,000,000
• 34:39
  plays. That's bonkers good for her.
• 34:41
  All right here we go super graphic ultra modern girl.
• 34:46
  All right, super graphic ultra modern girl.
• 34:50
  I feel attacked. I feel attacked in the song as a
• 34:52
  straight white dude, because when I get out of this song, and
• 34:54
  I don't mean that as I'm actually offended, but what I
• 34:56
  get out of this song is we're normal Society of man woman
• 35:03
  relationship and he has to be conservative and so do you.
• 35:06
  Well, we have to be more status quo.
• 35:08
  And she's young and she doesn't want to be that and she's
• 35:12
  spinning herself and discovering herself and discovering who she
• 35:15
  is. And she wants to go to the gay
• 35:17
  club and fucking pop some drugs and get fucked up and just let
• 35:20
  her inhibitions go and go on the dance floor and just be in a in
• 35:24
  a HIB in in inhibitedly herself where this guy was kind of just
• 35:30
  like dressed like me, just in jeans and AT shirt and doesn't
• 35:32
  want to dance on the floor because dancing is not for me.
• 35:35
  And maybe I'm holding her back on her experience.
• 35:39
  Our that guy is holding her back in that experience.
• 35:41
  I've been that guy. That's how I that's what the
• 35:45
  song gets to me. And I just see her on the dance
• 35:47
  floor having a good time and just being she doesn't have to
• 35:51
  check in with somebody. She doesn't have to make herself
• 35:53
  feel like she's making other people uncomfortable by being
• 35:56
  herself. And she's out there having a
• 35:58
  fucking blast. And this this the song where I
• 36:00
  said, here's all that. Here's the Gaga where I feel
• 36:02
  like the Lady Gaga like we're she's becoming empowered.
• 36:05
  I feel like, I feel like this is a this for me.
• 36:08
  This is where shaple just like switched.
• 36:11
  She broke out of she's out of Hurricane Coon and she's she's
• 36:15
  finding herself and and this is a dope ass song and I think the
• 36:19
  bass and the club banger and all that stuff is really, really
• 36:21
  good. I'm not a four for the four for
• 36:24
  this as well. Yeah, I would give this one a 5.
• 36:26
  It's a 5. Anything you feel about it?
• 36:30
  I love this song. I feel like it is very, like you
• 36:33
  said, just kind of very empowered, like very like, I'm
• 36:36
  me. I don't care if you want to sit
• 36:37
  in the corner, sit in the corner, but I'm going to be over
• 36:40
  here doing my thing. The lyric is we're going to
• 36:42
  leave Earth and you can't come. I took that as their ball
• 36:45
  popping something. And if and if you don't want to
• 36:47
  be a part of that, fine. But we're leaving and see you
• 36:49
  later. Yeah, yeah.
• 36:50
  Absolutely. Like if you don't want to, if
• 36:52
  you don't want to be here, good 'cause we don't want you here,
• 36:54
  Don't bring our mood down. Yeah, maybe it's not technically
• 36:56
  taking something, but maybe. Just like we're.
• 36:59
  We're opening themselves up by being on the dance floor and
• 37:01
  we're. Not even just that, just like
• 37:03
  just like saying like I'm enjoying myself and if you want
• 37:06
  to sit there and be a negativity, be a negativity, but
• 37:09
  do it away from me because like I'm I'm here to.
• 37:11
  Have fun and that's that vibe too, like when you go to the
• 37:14
  club and you go to the bar. I I try to let you do that.
• 37:17
  Like if you want to go on the dance floor and have a good
• 37:18
  time, like I don't, it's not my thing, but please go do that.
• 37:21
  I want to. I want I'd love to see you in
• 37:22
  that in that light, but we're for me when it comes to my
• 37:25
  content and wrestling shows or I go to the bar or I'm hanging out
• 37:28
  my friends or I'm at a dot Like for me, I just like to bounce
• 37:31
  from person to person to person, and it's always hard to maybe
• 37:34
  bring someone with you or your partner to all bounce around
• 37:37
  with you. So in in those situations where
• 37:40
  for sometimes I offended past relationships, our girls, our
• 37:44
  people, or even just friends I bring out when I'm in public, I
• 37:47
  am AI just like to and I just don't want to feel everyone's
• 37:50
  energy. I want to talk to everybody.
• 37:51
  I want to say hi to everybody. I usually I have multiple people
• 37:54
  that I care about one location and they may not all be in the
• 37:57
  same group of friends. Or maybe they're, I'm not saying
• 37:59
  they're not all friends, but they like everyone kind of goes
• 38:01
  to their own corner. And I like to bounce between the
• 38:03
  corners of people because I like everyone there and it's hard to
• 38:06
  always have someone tag along. So I think the best way is like,
• 38:10
  that's my version of being on the dance floor and being myself
• 38:13
  and like not tagging somebody along, if that makes sense.
• 38:16
  Yeah, but you're trying to do that as a loner, though.
• 38:18
  I don't think that's the same thing.
• 38:20
  What do you mean? Well, I'm not saying that you're
• 38:21
  trying to do that as a loner. Like this is saying, like all of
• 38:23
  my friends and me, we're going to go do like we're we're
• 38:26
  leaving Earth and you can't come is like because you want to be
• 38:29
  by your like you're saying I go and I'd rather do it by myself
• 38:33
  than bring people. Well, no, because I always I
• 38:35
  know it makes people feel weird too.
• 38:36
  Like for me, if I'm hanging out with somebody, if I go hang out
• 38:38
  with you and a group of your friends and, and you guys have
• 38:41
  10 years of friendship experience and you guys like to
• 38:44
  reminisce and talk about that. And you're, I'm kind of sitting
• 38:46
  there like, oh, I have no idea. You guys are talking about,
• 38:48
  that's cool, you know what I mean?
• 38:49
  But I'm also a conversationalist who will learn more about the
• 38:51
  situation where some people are afraid to interject in the
• 38:54
  conversation and then they feel left out of everything.
• 38:56
  And so I kind of just like, well, instead of you being left
• 38:59
  out, I'm going to go do my thing and you go make your own friends
• 39:01
  and we'll kind of meet in the middle.
• 39:02
  You know what I mean? That's just how I feel.
• 39:04
  I don't know if that's the right way.
• 39:05
  I. Just say that's like the
• 39:06
  opposite of what the socks. I'm just saying for me, this is
• 39:10
  what I get out of it. I'm not saying I'm right or
• 39:11
  wrong. Saying that you're wrong, I'm
• 39:13
  just. There it goes.
• 39:18
  All right. Anything else with this one?
• 39:20
  Nope. All right, let's go to our next
• 39:22
  one. It's going to be.
• 39:25
  I don't know if we ever heard of this one.
• 39:26
  This one has six, 626 million plays.
• 39:30
  It's called Hot to Go. I don't know if you ever heard
• 39:33
  of it. It might be a popular one.
• 39:37
  Hot to go. All right, when you listen to
• 39:41
  music, do you visually like a music video in your head of like
• 39:44
  them performing it? So here, yes, and let me tell
• 39:47
  you why. Because I haven't watched a
• 39:49
  music video. I haven't watched MTV or VH1
• 39:51
  since I was in high school. I don't even know what music
• 39:53
  videos look like anymore but I always just imagine people
• 39:56
  dancing things out. Yeah, you know where I
• 39:58
  immediately went in my head to this, where I feel like this is
• 40:00
  the modern day version of a song.
• 40:02
  And the Macarena. No no, it has a creepy vibe to
• 40:07
  it. Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum.
• 40:10
  It sounds like old horror but like funky horror that that
• 40:14
  like. Kind of like.
• 40:16
  A like a you know where I get a visual this and like and I just
• 40:22
  think I think shuffle with the bright red hair and the white
• 40:24
  face. Rocky Horror Picture show.
• 40:27
  This is like the Time Warp where it's upbeat, fun, kind of sexy,
• 40:32
  but like I could just see a room full of misfit drag Queens and
• 40:37
  weird dress and like fashion and like people just being them.
• 40:42
  And Chapel Row is like Doctor Frankenfurt do it like kind of
• 40:46
  conducting the people dancing. I don't know.
• 40:47
  But it hasn't that that bass line kind of gives me like a old
• 40:50
  horror vibe. That's just me.
• 40:53
  I'm probably the only one who thinks that.
• 40:54
  But like I feel if you take this music and put it over top of
• 40:57
  Rocky Horror Picture Show. Horror though, like, I mean,
• 40:59
  yes, I guess I don't. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
• 41:03
  I, I, it makes me think of the song differently.
• 41:05
  Hot to go, I'm going to give that a 3.5.
• 41:08
  I think it's a good song. I understand why it's as popular
• 41:11
  as it is, but those those songs are fun, but they're they're not
• 41:14
  as they don't speak to me as much as like Ultra, Ultra Hot
• 41:18
  Modern girl and coffee and Casual where it's like there's
• 41:22
  some feeling there, you know what I mean?
• 41:24
  Where you at with Hot to Go? What do you think of it?
• 41:26
  I. Like I said, I think this was
• 41:30
  the one that was like overplayed for me.
• 41:31
  Yeah. And I would agree that it's more
• 41:33
  of like a simpler 1 and as far as like depth of feelings go.
• 41:38
  Yeah, it's still a fun song. Yeah, it's fun.
• 41:40
  Still very catchy. My kink.
• 41:42
  I dance to a lot more now than I than I did when it first came
• 41:45
  out, yeah. My Kink is My Karma is our next
• 41:48
  song track #8 we are, we're, we're kind of flying through it
• 41:52
  here, this one here. 232 million plays.
• 41:56
  No, no features on this album either.
• 41:59
  Not one collaboration, not one feature.
• 42:01
  So maybe I'll take a quick break here and, and, and open up a
• 42:04
  little dialogue with you while you're now covering your mouth.
• 42:08
  Now that I'm almost finished. Yeah.
• 42:10
  Who would you want to see chaperone and collaborate with
• 42:13
  and make music with? Like, I think the obvious ones
• 42:19
  is like Gaga, right? You would want to hear her, hear
• 42:21
  her Gaga collaborate her Adele, I think would be fun to
• 42:26
  collaborate and make music together.
• 42:27
  I think her and Billy Eilish should be really fun to make
• 42:30
  music to like. I think all those powerful women
• 42:33
  who are in the scene now, Pink, I think her and Pink would be a
• 42:36
  fun collaboration. What was the other one you said
• 42:40
  earlier? The the girl that you said just
• 42:44
  giving your vibes with Doja Cat like her and Doja, her and Megan
• 42:48
  like the stallion. I think that'd be a fun
• 42:50
  collaboration. I.
• 42:52
  Mean I don't know when I said Doja cat with.
• 42:54
  Her, was it not Doja? You said somebody else, like a
• 42:57
  different musical artist, that that song gave you vibes of that
• 42:59
  person. I thought it was Doja Cat.
• 43:01
  Maybe I'm not, I said. Billie Eilish on the last.
• 43:05
  One. Yeah.
• 43:05
  Is there any other people out there you want to see her
• 43:07
  collaborate with? Ashniko.
• 43:14
  I've seen reading here and it's the Reading Festival, so that's
• 43:17
  definitely not one that we're going to be near.
• 43:23
  So right now she's overseas touring.
• 43:27
  Right. Yeah.
• 43:31
  So that's not anything coming up close to us anytime soon.
• 43:34
  All right. Anything else you want to add
• 43:36
  before we go to our next one collaboration wise?
• 43:40
  Ashniko, I said I heard you OK. No, that's it.
• 43:44
  You said pretty much all of them.
• 43:45
  Yeah, interesting. To make a hit album with no
• 43:49
  features is I think in the newer generation people are like, oh,
• 43:52
  you're better because you didn't have to have a feature.
• 43:53
  But I mean, I like when people collaborate.
• 43:55
  I'm not saying that I don't like when people collaborate, but I
• 43:57
  think that I like her music because it's not dependent on we
• 44:02
  don't need 2 great people. I think that it's it's very much
• 44:05
  like her whole, her whole thing is me just being me.
• 44:08
  And I don't need anybody else to just be me.
• 44:11
  OK, I can see that. I just I like I I wish musics
• 44:17
  the only genre for me that I feel like they don't collaborate
• 44:22
  as much. But I think there's that that
• 44:23
  stigma of collaboration sometimes of like, oh, you have
• 44:26
  to do a track with someone to get popular.
• 44:28
  That's like, I don't I think music is held to a different
• 44:30
  standard. I think more like I take a dream
• 44:32
  match up, right? So wrestling.
• 44:33
  I want to see two people wrestle who I think would be great
• 44:36
  chemistry together. I think the same way of music.
• 44:38
  Like it depresses the fuck out of me that Nicki Minaj and Cardi
• 44:42
  B hate each other because I think if they made an album
• 44:45
  together it would be fucking amazing.
• 44:48
  Absolutely. And even throw Megan the
• 44:50
  Stallion in there. If we got Nicki, Megan and
• 44:52
  fucking Cardi on a track, that fucking album would be the
• 44:57
  greatest thing of all time. Fucking throw a little Kim in
• 45:00
  there. Like I think it happens more
• 45:02
  with rap because of the beefs get too crazy but rock bands get
• 45:05
  beef weird beefy too. Everybody gets beef.
• 45:07
  Yeah, it's, it's interesting. Swifties versus like like it
• 45:11
  happens in every genre of music. Give me two seconds here.
• 45:14
  We'll be right back. All right, we're back and we're
• 45:16
  going to play our next song #8 on the album is going to be my
• 45:22
  kink is my karma. All right, my kink is karma.
• 45:29
  Where you at with this one? Here's your Taylor Swift song.
• 45:31
  Yeah, 100%. And it's, I'll say it's the
• 45:34
  Taylor Swift song, but it's also the Taylor Swift song after a
• 45:39
  hit song on the album. Like when you have a song that
• 45:42
  you know, when you identify with and then they hit you a song
• 45:44
  after, which is still a good song, but it doesn't grab you as
• 45:47
  much as the hit that it was on the album beforehand.
• 45:50
  So like, hot to go get you like, oh, I know there's one.
• 45:52
  Then it hits you with something like this.
• 45:54
  And I'm not saying it's a bad song, but I think it's like a
• 45:56
  filler song for the next, like to keep the album out pace
• 46:00
  moving. OK, that makes sense.
• 46:04
  Yeah, I hope I described that properly.
• 46:07
  I don't hate the song, but it it didn't stand out like the
• 46:09
  others. If I if I had my low moment of
• 46:11
  the album so far or the song that's my least favorite, it
• 46:14
  would be this one. This is my least favorite song
• 46:16
  on the album on the entire album.
• 46:18
  So I'm not off base when I say that.
• 46:19
  No, yeah, I gave this a three out of five.
• 46:22
  I give this one like a 2. Yeah, I don't think it's bad.
• 46:24
  I think this. I think I still think it's OK,
• 46:26
  but I still think the songwriting is really good.
• 46:28
  But the I feel like I've heard this song before.
• 46:32
  Does that make sense? Yes.
• 46:33
  That's not I'm not being hateful what I say.
• 46:34
  No, it's just, it sounds like a well.
• 46:36
  So it's very, it's not, you've heard the music already, you've
• 46:42
  heard the melody already. You've heard the rhythm, the
• 46:44
  cadence of it. It sounds familiar.
• 46:47
  So it's harder for me to for me myself to go, OK, let me listen
• 46:50
  to the words that are here instead of me going, hold on,
• 46:53
  let me sing the songs from the other song that I know that has
• 46:55
  the same rhythm. And I get like the two
• 46:57
  storylines mixed up, so to speak.
• 46:59
  Definitely. So anything else with this one
• 47:01
  before we move on? I think that was that was it,
• 47:06
  yeah. All right, next one picture you.
• 47:11
  Picture you. What do you think of this one?
• 47:14
  This is another song that's very high on on the list from like
• 47:18
  for the album. For me, I I think it's like
• 47:22
  reminiscent, but like not in a reminiscent kind of way.
• 47:26
  Like it's like like it's letting someone know how much they think
• 47:31
  about them, but not in just AI used.
• 47:34
  I used to think about you like I still think about you, OK?
• 47:38
  I like it, like tell me you're king.
• 47:40
  So I go to the library and fucking research them and shit.
• 47:42
  Like, I don't know. I think it's a cool song.
• 47:44
  I love the way it's composed. I love the acoustic guitar with
• 47:47
  the heavy bass bass line and the bass coming in and it gives me
• 47:50
  that Adele funk vibe a little bit too.
• 47:54
  I think this almost gives me more of like a 50s like a like a
• 47:58
  stay with me, like yeah, like that kind.
• 48:00
  Of it has like that old, that old school like dum dum dum dum
• 48:04
  dum dum dum dum dum dum dum. Like I like it.
• 48:07
  This is my favorite song on the album.
• 48:09
  I'm going five out of five on this.
• 48:10
  One. Yeah, this one's very high on
• 48:11
  my. List yeah this is a really I
• 48:12
  really like that that might that that's the song to beat for me
• 48:16
  track 9 is the track to beat for me when it comes to my favorite
• 48:19
  song on the. Only five more to go.
• 48:21
  Can it get bumped? #10 where where we got we got
• 48:25
  five more after this four more after this and this is called
• 48:29
  Kaleidoscope. Real quick cut back in picture
• 48:37
  you 113,000,000 plays Kaleidoscope at 57,000 plays.
• 48:42
  My kink is my karma at 232. Picture you another one.
• 48:45
  I think it's criminally low on the plays, with almost the
• 48:51
  second lowest. The second lowest track on the
• 48:54
  album is Kaleidoscope, but with plays.
• 48:56
  So I'm interested to see how it translates to us, to how the
• 49:00
  world views it because it. Is I think it's actually very,
• 49:03
  it's very telling of who we are as people.
• 49:06
  Because even like when you look at like not cool at high school
• 49:08
  in, in general, a lot of the movies or that people think are
• 49:12
  trash are the ones that we are more into.
• 49:14
  Because I think it's more on a not on a developmental level,
• 49:18
  but on a understanding level. And I think we are understanding
• 49:21
  people and we reach for those deeper meanings where a lot of
• 49:24
  people just take things at surface level.
• 49:26
  Yeah, so my two favorite songs so far on like Picture Me is
• 49:30
  still 113,000, which is really, really good, but Coffee is like
• 49:35
  2061 thousand, which is the third lowest on the album.
• 49:38
  With this leading into this kaleidoscope, as I'm saying,
• 49:41
  let's see what this one's what falls for us.
• 49:46
  All right, Kaleidoscope. What?
• 49:48
  Do you think I want your opinions on this first because I
• 49:51
  have an idea of like what this means to me.
• 49:55
  So it's going to be weird because Kaleidoscope makes me
• 50:00
  want to up my score on track 8 for my kink is my karma because
• 50:05
  I think my kink is my karma. Picture you in Kaleidoscope or
• 50:09
  like chapter 1-2 and three. OK.
• 50:12
  Like I think, I think I don't know, I just think they they
• 50:16
  tell a story there and I think they all blend together very
• 50:19
  nice. And I think it puts a nice bow
• 50:21
  on this little section of the album where I feel like you're
• 50:24
  kind of telling a little bit of a story.
• 50:25
  I think this is the song, even though it's a second least
• 50:28
  played on the album, This is the song.
• 50:30
  I feel like if you're doing a music competition or if you're a
• 50:32
  karaoke or you're going to do like a solo guitar or a solo
• 50:36
  piano player, I think this has that very Beatles, Hey Jude,
• 50:40
  imagine John Legend, John Lennon, where it's just a simple
• 50:43
  piano and just really, really test song structure and your
• 50:47
  vocal abilities. And I think this is the song
• 50:50
  that I think in over the test of time of this album will be a
• 50:54
  song I think will stand stronger than any other thing on this
• 50:57
  album. Because I think it's that song
• 50:58
  that you're like, I want to be a musician.
• 51:00
  I want to learn how to sing. I want to invoke emotion and
• 51:02
  sing a really powerful ballad, but I only need a simple piano
• 51:05
  to do it. And I think Kaleidoscope nails
• 51:08
  that for a song. Like I think if when I hear
• 51:11
  American Idol or The Voice in the next 10 years, I think this
• 51:15
  is going to be a song that people sing that is like, it's
• 51:18
  simple, but it's powerful for it.
• 51:21
  So now for meaning. Yeah, it just it seems like
• 51:26
  there's very confused of the relationship and are they going
• 51:30
  back to being friends kind of like pitcher you like, you know
• 51:32
  what I mean? Like are they going to be remain
• 51:33
  friends? Are they going to be together?
• 51:35
  Love is a mysterious thing that you don't understand, but like
• 51:38
  love physically maybe doesn't have to end, but you can still
• 51:41
  remember be friends. But it just it's it's a
• 51:44
  whirlwind. It's very confusing on what love
• 51:46
  can be, especially when you're someone who can love, I guess
• 51:50
  multiple genders at once. I can't relate to that.
• 51:52
  You know what I mean? Like I can relate to that
• 51:55
  because love to me is different than I think I deceive, deceive,
• 51:59
  love, perceive love differently. Like I can love.
• 52:03
  I'm, I'm, I'm pansexual when it comes to mental connection, when
• 52:08
  it comes to like, not physically, physically I'm very
• 52:10
  heterosexual, but mentally I think I'm very pansexual, you
• 52:13
  should say. Platonically.
• 52:16
  I I'm I'm just using terms that I don't know.
• 52:17
  Platonic means with friends. Sure, platonic most platonically
• 52:21
  I'm pansexual where I can genuinely loves anyone and
• 52:26
  really get to know them and truly love them for human
• 52:29
  beings. But when it comes to physical
• 52:31
  love, I'm very halosexual. I, I, I sorry, I don't know.
• 52:35
  I'm not sorry. But like, yeah, but yeah, love
• 52:39
  is a kaleidoscope because like I said that for me, like love is
• 52:42
  like, there's a lot of people I love.
• 52:44
  I love a lot of people on really deep levels.
• 52:47
  And when people hurt you, even on a friendship level like that
• 52:51
  offends me or how it hurts me as because I love hard, I do love
• 52:55
  my friends, I do love who I care about.
• 52:57
  And when I get done dirty like it, it's almost like a breakup.
• 53:00
  Like it really bothers me in those wells where I think some
• 53:03
  people don't connect to people that way and the only thing they
• 53:05
  do feel is that physical connection.
• 53:07
  So maybe I perceive this song differently than others just
• 53:09
  because I I look at love differently, But go ahead.
• 53:12
  OK, so I look at this as a song of I don't know who I am.
• 53:20
  Not that I don't know who I am, but very much like you don't
• 53:23
  need to understand it. No go back to where you were cuz
• 53:26
  I wanna go into those lyrics that you were just at.
• 53:29
  Nope. In the chorus, she says when you
• 53:33
  turn, hold on, but turning to the left or to the right, color
• 53:38
  shining in your eye and even upside down, it's beautiful.
• 53:41
  Somehow I feel like that's very like, either you have to be this
• 53:44
  or you have to be that. And love isn't just straight or
• 53:48
  gay. There's so much in between and
• 53:50
  all of it's beautiful. But not even just that.
• 53:53
  Love being a kaleidoscope like I feel like it and, and maybe this
• 53:58
  is me from a not straight perspective.
• 54:00
  I think that there are, I wouldn't say so much phases.
• 54:03
  It's not a phase, but I think that love can change so much
• 54:07
  like I can I I would say that at one point in time I was a
• 54:12
  bisexual. I only wanted to be with men and
• 54:14
  women, but then the more that I learn about things, the more
• 54:18
  that I'm like, I'm maybe I fit more into this group or fit into
• 54:20
  that group. But at the end of the day, it
• 54:23
  being this very big spectrum of love is love.
• 54:26
  And you don't have to understand what every single color is or
• 54:29
  what what shape there is to it. Love can look in so many
• 54:33
  different forms and just it being that it shouldn't matter
• 54:38
  what my love is or what it looks like, just know that I love you.
• 54:42
  Yeah, there is no wrong way to look at a kaleidoscope.
• 54:45
  And everyone looks at a kaleidoscope differently.
• 54:47
  And each image that you turn that dial is going to give you a
• 54:50
  different version of art or different feelings or emotions
• 54:53
  or invoke different things. And everyone's going to feel
• 54:56
  something different. Like, there's a million
• 54:57
  different ways to look at a kaleidoscope, and everyone's
• 54:59
  going to see it in a different. Way So when she's saying whether
• 55:01
  you're looking at it left, right or upside down, it's still
• 55:03
  beautiful. And that's like that
• 55:05
  kaleidoscope. You change it even just a little
• 55:07
  bit, it's going to look completely different from when
• 55:09
  I'm holding it to when I hand it to you.
• 55:12
  Even that shift, it's going to change, and that doesn't make it
• 55:15
  any less beautiful. I think I think too like if you
• 55:17
  want to perceive or using an analogy of a kaleidoscope, it's
• 55:20
  like the world, see the world wants to be a certain way.
• 55:23
  They want they want a face image.
• 55:25
  Color wheel. And it's the perfect color wheel
• 55:27
  and that's all. And everything has to be
• 55:28
  identified by that's red, that's yellow, this is this.
• 55:31
  You can't play in this color with this color.
• 55:33
  And kaleidoscopes like, no, we're going to smash everything
• 55:35
  together. And I think just when you're a
• 55:37
  person, you can change who you are and how you feel and how you
• 55:41
  love. And there's nothing wrong with
• 55:43
  that. Because I think people think
• 55:46
  that you need to nail down how you feel or how you're going to
• 55:49
  be at a young age. And that's how you have to be.
• 55:51
  And you can't change and you can adjust and you can't be
• 55:54
  something different or change your look or your style or the
• 55:57
  way you conduct yourself or you're allowed to change.
• 55:59
  Change is part change is part of human nature.
• 56:02
  Like I was kind of like last night when I was out.
• 56:05
  I, and I'm not trying to bring up a past relationship, but
• 56:08
  people kept asking like, oh, well, what happened?
• 56:09
  What's going on there? And I was like, listen, like at
• 56:12
  the end of the day, I don't know.
• 56:13
  I don't know how they feel. I don't know how they coped, how
• 56:15
  they bonded. I, I generally hope they find
• 56:18
  happiness and it goes for anybody past friendships,
• 56:20
  anything. I generally just look at things
• 56:22
  now of like, I can't hold on to resentment because you're no
• 56:24
  longer in my life. Like I hope you found happiness.
• 56:27
  If I've done something wrong to hurt you, I apologize.
• 56:29
  I, I, I, I'm, I'm still to this like the last two years for me,
• 56:33
  I've bettered myself. I think I've explored more, I
• 56:35
  found who I am more how to adjust things more, how to
• 56:38
  approach things more. And it's just like, like maybe I
• 56:42
  lost track here what I'm saying, but it's like it's OK to change.
• 56:45
  It's OK to be something different.
• 56:46
  It's OK to want something different.
• 56:47
  It's OK to feel a dirt different way, love a different way,
• 56:51
  respond a different way. Like it's.
• 56:53
  All part of growth. Yeah, growth is important and,
• 56:56
  and, and there's no right or wrong way to do it.
• 56:59
  There's no blueprint. And if you're doing something
• 57:01
  different with your art or chasing your dreams or finding
• 57:04
  love or being who you are or loving how you love differently
• 57:07
  than you did three weeks ago, there's nothing wrong with that.
• 57:09
  Lean into it. Find out where it takes you, but
• 57:11
  also still kind of understand that every other person in your
• 57:15
  universe is all still looking at their own kaleidoscope, and
• 57:17
  maybe they're not seeing it the same way you're seeing it, which
• 57:21
  doesn't make them necessarily a bad person.
• 57:23
  Unless your views are hurting people because you are actively
• 57:26
  trying to close their kaleidoscope, then go fuck
• 57:29
  yourself. But have more understanding of
• 57:31
  people, of how they handle situations or how they want to
• 57:34
  love or how they want to adjust. And maybe the person you're
• 57:36
  attaching yourself to isn't attaching them to yourselves to
• 57:39
  you anymore. Like this.
• 57:40
  It's a lot and it's a lot to take in.
• 57:42
  It's a lot of different things and it's understanding,
• 57:44
  compassion and just change is good.
• 57:47
  We've probably got way off base with that, but all right, next
• 57:50
  song #11. Wait a minute, what's your score
• 57:54
  on that? One that one I gave a four.
• 57:56
  That's that's my favorite one on the entire album.
• 57:58
  I. Don't think it's better than a
• 57:59
  picture of you, but I think I think you're wrong.
• 58:01
  I think I think it's really, really good.
• 58:03
  All right, the next one here is going to be another another
• 58:06
  popular one. This is going to be the the hit
• 58:08
  song. This is going to be the the song
• 58:10
  that we end the night with, but we're not going to right now.
• 58:13
  But I think if you've seen her live, she probably, I'm going to
• 58:17
  guess this is what do you think? This is the closing song Pink
• 58:19
  Pony Club. Do you think this is the how she
• 58:21
  ends the show? I think this is how she just
• 58:23
  would open the show. Open with Pink Pony Club, what
• 58:25
  do you think she ends with Hot to go.
• 58:28
  Probably, yeah. Send everybody home happy.
• 58:30
  Yeah, it's either Hot to Go or Pink Pony Club.
• 58:32
  I think she opens with pink pony club.
• 58:34
  I would say like pink pony club is more.
• 58:36
  So Hot to Go is her welcome home.
• 58:37
  Let's just listen to it. Hot to Go is her welcome home.
• 58:40
  Actually let's I want to do some real quick.
• 58:45
  What's her name of her tour? I don't know.
• 58:55
  Oh, we're going to Google this real quick and not Google, but
• 58:58
  so Spotify does this cool thing where you can, you can find, so
• 59:09
  I don't know if this is it. That's probably not it.
• 59:12
  You could find like if your favorite person's on tour, you
• 59:15
  can go look at the playlist and people make playlists of how the
• 59:19
  tour, like what the tour's doing and it kind of gives you the set
• 59:22
  list. And and that's I think that's
• 59:25
  kind of fun. I wouldn't do it on the way to a
• 59:28
  concert. I think I did that once and that
• 59:31
  was always a bad move. All right, so she opens the show
• 59:38
  with Phenomena. Femme Nomenon is how it's
• 59:43
  according to this this this the 2004 Chapel Rd. setlist. 2004
• 59:48
  Yeah. Was she born yet?
• 59:49
  Huh, 2024 sorry the 2024 setlist It it Hot to Go is the 6th song
• 59:58
  on the setlist. They did a Bad Romance cover.
• 1:00:04
  So where's Pink Pony Club on it? It ends the show.
• 1:00:06
  It's, it's the closer, yeah. Let's go all.
• 1:00:09
  Right. So we were close.
• 1:00:12
  One of those two are going to be it.
• 1:00:13
  But here we go. Pink Pony Club.
• 1:00:17
  All right, Pink Pony Club Banger.
• 1:00:22
  Banger. Banger, banger.
• 1:00:23
  Banger banger song. Now that you've read the lyrics
• 1:00:27
  with it, do you get where I because I kind of gave you my
• 1:00:30
  interpretation of this before listening to this?
• 1:00:33
  I have AI have a different interpretation that may not be
• 1:00:37
  with other. Once again, I'm trying to also
• 1:00:39
  relate to music. That really is it.
• 1:00:43
  It's not made for me. Right.
• 1:00:44
  It's not made for you. Yeah.
• 1:00:45
  But I think, I think I understand what they identify as
• 1:00:49
  a Pink Point club. It's like the club, it's the
• 1:00:50
  drag shows, it's where it's community, it's the party scene,
• 1:00:53
  it's where everyone can be themselves.
• 1:00:56
  Where if you're gay, straight band, pie pan, trans, whatever
• 1:01:01
  it may be, everyone's allowed to be there and everyone's allowed
• 1:01:03
  to feel happy and they could be club and and they can show
• 1:01:06
  express themselves any way they possibly can.
• 1:01:08
  And it's just acceptance. It's where you feel comfortable.
• 1:01:10
  It's what you love that maybe other people may not be into,
• 1:01:14
  you know? So I'll say this, you know what
• 1:01:16
  My Ping Pony Club is? Wrestling.
• 1:01:18
  I was going to say the cult. Like, I feel like it's not so
• 1:01:21
  much. Yeah, yeah, like pro wrestling.
• 1:01:23
  It's too. It's like a it is.
• 1:01:25
  I feel like it's not so much actually a club and we're not
• 1:01:28
  talking about going to the game club.
• 1:01:30
  It is that, yeah. It's a sense of community.
• 1:01:32
  It's where you can go and be yourself and be unapologetic.
• 1:01:35
  And have a group of your peers that are accepting of you and
• 1:01:39
  supportive. Of you 100% and you can let your
• 1:01:41
  freak flag fly. You can, I mean.
• 1:01:43
  It's almost like I. Think one of clubs that we go to
• 1:01:46
  where I feel like you can like the clubs that we go to are kind
• 1:01:49
  of you're accepted however you want to be.
• 1:01:52
  You can present yourself wherever you want to be.
• 1:01:54
  You can do whatever you want to do.
• 1:01:55
  There's, you know, I mean like that's like that's I could be
• 1:01:58
  another version exploring your sexuality of like the club like
• 1:02:02
  that too. Sure.
• 1:02:03
  Yeah. I don't know how to say it
• 1:02:06
  anymore. God.
• 1:02:07
  It's a ping pong club or wrestling.
• 1:02:09
  That it was what you were saying.
• 1:02:10
  I'm sorry. No, I was saying like, like, oh,
• 1:02:15
  so I was saying that like also another part in there that she
• 1:02:18
  was saying or that the the lyrics that she brings up are
• 1:02:20
  like, I want to leave Tennessee to go to Santa Monica.
• 1:02:23
  And then in the second verse she says like, I'm I still see you
• 1:02:26
  Tennessee, but Santa Monica, you've been so good to me.
• 1:02:29
  And I feel like it's more of not necessarily where she, obviously
• 1:02:32
  she's not actually from Tennessee, but like, but what I
• 1:02:36
  mean is that like, it's that sense of that community and they
• 1:02:41
  don't care about where you're from or like what people thought
• 1:02:43
  about you back then. You can be here now and be with
• 1:02:46
  us and we're still going to support you no matter where you
• 1:02:48
  came from or where you're going. We got you here.
• 1:02:52
  Is there a location on the earth that you have been or that you
• 1:02:55
  want to go that you feel is drawing you like you want to go
• 1:02:58
  to that area and just kind of you just feel drawn to it?
• 1:03:02
  You mean like like Hollywood like that?
• 1:03:04
  Like that feeling of like I. Want a location?
• 1:03:08
  I really, I really, really, I think that it's, it's going to
• 1:03:12
  sound so wild, but I think that like Transylvania like is huge
• 1:03:17
  for me. Like I really want like I want
• 1:03:20
  to go see Spain, like where my family came from and all the
• 1:03:23
  stuff like that. But I feel like there's always
• 1:03:25
  been something like not just like on a vampire level, but
• 1:03:29
  there's always been something that's like I've seen the
• 1:03:32
  castles there and just the scenery and the nature and
• 1:03:35
  everything around it. Like I feel like I could fully
• 1:03:38
  immerse myself there and just be my little goth sad person
• 1:03:42
  without being like judged on like, oh, why are you so
• 1:03:46
  negative all the time? I'm not.
• 1:03:48
  I mean, maybe I am, but but I mean like, it's kind of just
• 1:03:52
  that. Yeah.
• 1:03:54
  I acceptance. I feel like when people say I
• 1:03:57
  want to go to the West Coast or the East Coast, or I want to go
• 1:03:59
  to New York or I want to go to Florida or I want to go to
• 1:04:02
  Hawaii or I want to go to Hollywood or, you know, San
• 1:04:06
  Francisco for me, I've always felt that way to the UK.
• 1:04:09
  And when I finally got there, like it's, it's gloomy, it's
• 1:04:13
  rainy, it's everything, but it's it's, but also there's beauty in
• 1:04:17
  it. There's there's history, there's
• 1:04:19
  blue collar nest, there's royalty, there's fashion,
• 1:04:22
  there's queer culture, there's punk, there's rock.
• 1:04:26
  They're like everything about London.
• 1:04:28
  Like drew me, I was like, man, if I ever go there, I feel like
• 1:04:30
  I would fit in so well. And then I went and I was like,
• 1:04:34
  I would fucking live here. Like now that Jackie lives there
• 1:04:37
  and Jane lives there, I'm like, man, I just, I, I being there
• 1:04:41
  for a week was perfect for me too.
• 1:04:43
  Like if I only went for two or three days, I don't think you
• 1:04:45
  would feel that. But being there for a week and
• 1:04:47
  just walking the streets and just walking through
• 1:04:49
  neighborhoods and towns, I just, it's everything I love about
• 1:04:52
  small town Pennsylvania, but having a bigger vibe of a New
• 1:04:55
  York where there's so many different cultures there too.
• 1:04:58
  And I loved it. Like that's how she was saying
• 1:05:01
  I'm being drawn to Santa Monica. I feel that in the song with
• 1:05:03
  like the London to me. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:05:06
  A public like you don't need a car.
• 1:05:08
  You don't have to rely on things.
• 1:05:09
  You can just go and get on a train and go.
• 1:05:12
  Maybe that's a big city vibe too that I would like.
• 1:05:14
  But where I maybe live I. Would like just freaking.
• 1:05:16
  Public transportation would be nice.
• 1:05:18
  You know, I want to hang out with my friend today but my car
• 1:05:21
  sucks or I don't feel like driving.
• 1:05:22
  No, I mean like we don't. Even get on a fucking train.
• 1:05:25
  We can't even. Get on a bus where we live.
• 1:05:27
  I know it's there's. No bus.
• 1:05:29
  Yeah, but even like getting on the train, like you're kind of
• 1:05:32
  people watching and you can meet new people and have a spark up
• 1:05:35
  conversation of like London has the big city feel of like a New
• 1:05:39
  York I would feel. I've never been in New York
• 1:05:41
  City. But also have that they're not
• 1:05:43
  afraid to have a conversation with you or they're not afraid
• 1:05:46
  to stop and have a chat. You know what I mean?
• 1:05:49
  We're like New York. Everyone's kind of like, get the
• 1:05:51
  fuck out of my face, you know what I mean?
• 1:05:52
  Like those bigger American city vibes are like, I'm only worried
• 1:05:56
  about myself. Like London, I was there and
• 1:05:58
  people were like, I want to learn about you.
• 1:06:00
  And I was like, I like that feeling.
• 1:06:02
  Like I thought it was really cool.
• 1:06:03
  I can't say. I've really ever experienced
• 1:06:05
  that. 4.5 out of five, I'm not going to give it a full five.
• 1:06:09
  I'm not going to give it a four. It does.
• 1:06:11
  It definitely meets in the middle.
• 1:06:12
  I think it's it it's the poppy hit song that it needs to be,
• 1:06:16
  but it also has a meaning that people should understand too.
• 1:06:20
  So I think it has that good crossover of like picture you
• 1:06:24
  realness, coffee realness, but also blends in that hot to go.
• 1:06:29
  But there's a real meaning here. But it still has that bop feel
• 1:06:33
  to it. Yeah.
• 1:06:35
  It's a dancey like Hey ya, Hey ya is like a really good song
• 1:06:39
  where it's like, oh, there's. Something.
• 1:06:39
  And that's a real serious. But also, we're going to dance
• 1:06:42
  to it, you know what I mean? Like a pig.
• 1:06:45
  Pony Club gives me that vibe, too.
• 1:06:46
  What about you score? It gives me more of a this song
• 1:06:50
  specifically has like more of an 80s vibe for me, but like AI
• 1:06:56
  feel like the guitar in it gives me almost like a guns and Roses.
• 1:06:59
  OK. I think at the beginning of the
• 1:07:01
  song, it's very much more Bohemian Rhapsody, like the the
• 1:07:05
  very slow opening and like the like not alluding to their mom,
• 1:07:09
  like leaving their mom behind. And obviously it's not the same
• 1:07:12
  situation, but kind of that like making it from a ballad to like,
• 1:07:17
  OK, and now we're going to go in.
• 1:07:18
  Yeah, it definitely does change tempo a lot.
• 1:07:20
  I like it. It's a banger.
• 1:07:22
  I think it's one of those songs I think is people like, it's
• 1:07:24
  overplayed, but I like fuck it, overplay it.
• 1:07:26
  I think the world needs it. Pink Pony Club.
• 1:07:29
  Love you naked in Manhattan. I go first to this one.
• 1:07:35
  You've been sorry. You want.
• 1:07:37
  No, I mean, like, you're good. Go ahead.
• 1:07:39
  I was expecting you to. I I get maybe it's just
• 1:07:44
  Manhattan and New York and the whole 9, but I get like a sex
• 1:07:46
  and the city vibe like so am I envision like she's with the
• 1:07:50
  girl and she's having that like girl best friend girl vibes, but
• 1:07:54
  she has more feelings for the girl that maybe the girl has for
• 1:07:57
  her and she's like, am I are we just girlfriend?
• 1:08:00
  I think girls have the this ability that they can be like
• 1:08:05
  naked around each other or do things with it around each other
• 1:08:07
  and nobody really fucking cares. Like you're more comfortable
• 1:08:09
  with your own body that you can like you go to the bathroom
• 1:08:12
  together or like stuff like that or like over trying out offlets
• 1:08:14
  and like not being. Naked.
• 1:08:15
  All right, I'm about. To say, let me say something
• 1:08:17
  real quick. Hold on.
• 1:08:18
  No, like I get what you're. Saying like, I feel like girls
• 1:08:20
  have a better connection when it comes to guys where they can do
• 1:08:23
  I think guys can too. I I think also like where guys
• 1:08:26
  like who, who would Dick bro? Like there's weird like I don't
• 1:08:29
  know, I'm going to say something.
• 1:08:29
  So there could be crossover tension.
• 1:08:31
  But if you're also someone who is into girls, but maybe your
• 1:08:33
  girl sees you as just her girl early, but not her, like she's
• 1:08:37
  not into girls in that way. I feel like there's confusion in
• 1:08:39
  this song when she's like, I I really like you as a friend, but
• 1:08:42
  also like I can fuck you. Like, I don't know, like that's
• 1:08:47
  where I kind of see this song. I hope I probably butchered that
• 1:08:50
  in my analogy, but go. Ahead.
• 1:08:51
  No, I get what you're saying. I think that here's my
• 1:08:55
  controversial pic. I think guys could do that too,
• 1:08:57
  but guys are much more judgmental where guys are like
• 1:09:00
  just hey, just be you. Like I feel like now don't get
• 1:09:03
  me wrong, girls are girls worst enemies at the same time, but
• 1:09:08
  when you're when you feel comfortable around something
• 1:09:10
  like I don't go to my to the bathroom with my girlfriend so
• 1:09:13
  that I can watch them pee. It's it's going to sound like, I
• 1:09:16
  don't know, maybe this is just me and my anxieties.
• 1:09:18
  But when I go with someone to the bathroom, it's because I
• 1:09:20
  don't know what could happen on the like, especially at a club
• 1:09:23
  scenario. I don't know what could happen
• 1:09:24
  on the way to the bathroom, on the way back.
• 1:09:26
  So I take my girls with me. But also as far as the song
• 1:09:31
  goes, like, yeah, I would say that this is like we're trying
• 1:09:33
  to go off these blurred lines of like, are we are we just
• 1:09:37
  friends? Are we something more?
• 1:09:39
  As far as the Sex and the City thing, I I would agree that it
• 1:09:42
  has kind of that that vibe, but it's also to me, it's very M83.
• 1:09:51
  I don't know if you if you wouldn't know them, but just by
• 1:09:54
  their name, but like the song Midnight City, it's giving it
• 1:09:59
  gives a lot of those same vibes of like we're here.
• 1:10:03
  We're here to have fun. Maybe we could have more fun,
• 1:10:06
  but like let's just see where the night takes us.
• 1:10:08
  Like I I'm cool with it going for more.
• 1:10:11
  I'd like it if we went for something more, but if it's not,
• 1:10:14
  I'm still here to vibe with you have.
• 1:10:15
  You ever been in a situation where you had a situation where
• 1:10:20
  like you're into a girl but you're just friends?
• 1:10:22
  She just sees you as a friend, but you're obviously she doesn't
• 1:10:25
  know you're. In love with my best friend
• 1:10:26
  before so like. Where you wanted more physical
• 1:10:29
  and then you knew that that wasn't what they were about at
• 1:10:32
  all. She is very, very straight.
• 1:10:34
  Like she, I mean, she is very, very straight, but there's,
• 1:10:37
  she's gorgeous to, to begin with.
• 1:10:41
  We're not really as close as we used to be, but I vibed with her
• 1:10:46
  so hard as a, as a person. And then like, I mean, yeah,
• 1:10:50
  like I said, she was my best friend, but I felt like a lot
• 1:10:52
  mentally we connected. And like, I talk.
• 1:10:56
  First of all, you're an amazing partner.
• 1:10:59
  So I don't want this to be taken out of context, but I felt like
• 1:11:01
  she could look at my face and just be like, OK, we're dropping
• 1:11:06
  everything right now. What's going on?
• 1:11:08
  Like you. I try to do that and I get
• 1:11:11
  fucking met with the war of. OK, do you want to if you want
• 1:11:15
  to go into that, you get met with the war of Satan because
• 1:11:18
  I'm usually over stimulated. Let me rephrase that.
• 1:11:21
  She could tell when I'm over stimulated and say OK, let's
• 1:11:23
  stop. You're like, let's I have to be
• 1:11:26
  watching a YouTube video while I'm listening to music while I'm
• 1:11:28
  also trying to edit things. And I can't have you bug me
• 1:11:31
  right now. So if you're gonna have a
• 1:11:32
  breakdown about something that's trivial, you need to tell me why
• 1:11:34
  and you need to tell me now. And I'm like, well, fuck you.
• 1:11:37
  I'm already over stimulated and you're trying to get me to just
• 1:11:39
  that's fair. Like I can't like it's not.
• 1:11:41
  I'm not saying that that you do that purposefully or
• 1:11:44
  maliciously, but usually when I'm at that point already and
• 1:11:47
  you're like, what's wrong? I'm like fucking nothing.
• 1:11:50
  Yeah, because I want to be like. Fucking every my DHD is locked
• 1:11:53
  in and I see you need help and I'm like can we just get the
• 1:11:56
  Cliff notes and fix you quicker? It's more on me and not on you.
• 1:12:00
  I'm not saying that it's on you, but we definitely more think of
• 1:12:03
  things. I'm not meeting you at your
• 1:12:04
  level because I'm more thinking about I'm being selfish.
• 1:12:07
  I don't think you're being selfish.
• 1:12:09
  I think that we just handle things differently.
• 1:12:10
  We don't. I when I want to sit and talk is
• 1:12:13
  when everything's quiet and we can focus on what I want to sit
• 1:12:16
  and talk about. And you're someone.
• 1:12:18
  Who my quiet time is, I want to be quiet.
• 1:12:19
  I don't want to talk at that point.
• 1:12:21
  OK, So what I was saying though was how you handle things is is
• 1:12:25
  and, and everything that you do is very much.
• 1:12:27
  I can do 17 things at once and my brain is like I can do 1.
• 1:12:31
  So if like I know this isn't, I'm not going to say that this
• 1:12:35
  bothers you, but something that I think bothers me in general is
• 1:12:39
  like when I go out to hang out with friends, like I feel like
• 1:12:42
  I'm not giving you enough attention, but I'm incapable of
• 1:12:45
  having a conversation with someone and texting someone at
• 1:12:47
  the same time. Yeah, I know.
• 1:12:48
  I. Cannot do that.
• 1:12:50
  No, I want that like go do your. Thing no, but I mean like you
• 1:12:53
  can sit and have a conversation with someone and be texting
• 1:12:56
  somebody else about something else and talking to this person
• 1:12:58
  about the podcast and talking to this person about the wrestling
• 1:13:00
  show that's going on next month or two months from now and
• 1:13:04
  editing stuff and watching wrestling at the same time.
• 1:13:06
  And then I'm like, hey, really quick, can you look at this?
• 1:13:09
  And you're like, I'm in the middle of stuff.
• 1:13:11
  You get, I overstimulated too. But then when you're like, hey,
• 1:13:15
  like, or if I start like freaking out or something,
• 1:13:17
  you're like, OK, well, you want to talk about it.
• 1:13:19
  No, not when all this shit's going on like I can't focus on.
• 1:13:22
  It, but again, it was a weird detour from your girlfriend.
• 1:13:24
  Way far detour, but my point being with her I did.
• 1:13:28
  I do feel like there was a best friend that I had that I could
• 1:13:32
  easily see. Like you were my soul mate.
• 1:13:33
  Like you, if you ever wanted to be with me, if you ever wanted
• 1:13:38
  to try out lesbianism or or be with a girl, like please call me
• 1:13:44
  first because you're perfect for me.
• 1:13:48
  But. And it didn't end up being like
• 1:13:50
  she was just like, yeah, no, that's straight up not me.
• 1:13:52
  But I felt I had that connection with her like a couple of months
• 1:13:55
  into meeting her and we had a friendship that was really
• 1:13:58
  strong and like, like she went with me to pride events.
• 1:14:01
  Like she was my go to for for like she was the first person I
• 1:14:04
  called for pride and she just wanted to go to have fun and
• 1:14:06
  like she very much was an ally, but that just wasn't her thing.
• 1:14:09
  But it I was always very much like, I'll be your second
• 1:14:13
  straight. I'll be your side playing, you
• 1:14:15
  know, if you just whatever, I I just want to be in your
• 1:14:18
  presence. I want to be with you.
• 1:14:20
  Like I feel like I could be that way with other females too,
• 1:14:22
  where you're like, I could be your homie, I could be friends,
• 1:14:24
  we could be cool. I could be your crying shoulder.
• 1:14:26
  I vibe with you. If you want to make a physical,
• 1:14:28
  I'm down with that too. But it doesn't.
• 1:14:30
  We're not going to cross. We're not.
• 1:14:32
  Going to cross a line of like you can still go be physical
• 1:14:35
  other people and do your own thing and live your life.
• 1:14:36
  Like our physicality. I hope it doesn't change our
• 1:14:38
  friendship. I don't want on my end but I can
• 1:14:40
  see how it make you feel on yours type deal.
• 1:14:43
  Yeah, but I mean, I'm not even I, I, yes.
• 1:14:48
  But if you would not pressure would have gotten physical, it
• 1:14:50
  wouldn't you wouldn't have been like.
• 1:14:51
  I'm not even talking about that though.
• 1:14:52
  I mean, like, yes, I am, but I'm saying that like that was never,
• 1:14:57
  it was never on the table. It wasn't like, hey, I'm hanging
• 1:15:00
  out with girls that are that fuck guys.
• 1:15:02
  I was trying to hang out with a girl that fucks guys that I was
• 1:15:04
  trying to like, not that I was trying to, but I wanted her to
• 1:15:07
  be interested in a woman. Like if she was interested in a
• 1:15:10
  woman, like I never had a chance.
• 1:15:11
  I never had that chance. The only chance that was ever
• 1:15:14
  there was that we're ever going to be friends.
• 1:15:16
  And I'm not saying that that's not a possibility for you with
• 1:15:19
  with female friends, but I mean, like there is still kind of a
• 1:15:22
  chance that you're hanging out with a straight girl that she
• 1:15:24
  might want to fuck. I got like have a Dick in her.
• 1:15:26
  Whereas like if I'm hanging out with a straight girl, there's
• 1:15:29
  there's pretty much I couldn't get her to kiss me when she was
• 1:15:32
  drunk. Like it was such a far no for
• 1:15:35
  her. Yeah, that's fair.
• 1:15:37
  I'm I'm the I'm the the dude version of that girl.
• 1:15:41
  Sorry. You're like, I'm trying to put
• 1:15:43
  myself in the situation of being her of like if it was a dude
• 1:15:46
  with me. Yeah, like a gay dude with me.
• 1:15:48
  Like I let you're I like you. You're attractive.
• 1:15:50
  I would I liked your vibe. I would be with you but like.
• 1:15:53
  I'll be your best friend. I'll I will never be with you.
• 1:15:55
  But it's never going to happen like that.
• 1:15:57
  You're like. OK.
• 1:15:59
  Yeah, that's that's that's a shitty feeling, but also.
• 1:16:03
  But, but I mean, again, as far as this song goes, I think this
• 1:16:05
  is I, I, I enjoy this song. A lot too.
• 1:16:08
  But that is the vibe of like, please, I want you, but if you
• 1:16:12
  don't want it from you, it's OK. Like I still just want you to be
• 1:16:14
  my friend. Like I still want you in my
• 1:16:16
  life. You still mean a lot to.
• 1:16:17
  Me another. Another queer culture struggle,
• 1:16:19
  I guess. Yeah.
• 1:16:20
  Yeah, I'll. Give it that one.
• 1:16:21
  All right. Next, Oh, next song.
• 1:16:25
  California. Now, we've already learned that.
• 1:16:28
  Definitely that West Coast is where Chapel or what do they
• 1:16:33
  call her Chappie or something nice.
• 1:16:34
  I heard the one interview kind of shorten it.
• 1:16:37
  I haven't. I'm not cool with her on that
• 1:16:39
  level. I'm not gonna give her a name
• 1:16:40
  that she doesn't. Can I say one other thing really
• 1:16:42
  quick? So we went.
• 1:16:43
  You asked me before about collabs and the last song she
• 1:16:48
  says, what is it? Do you want to listen to Lana or
• 1:16:51
  you're listening to Lana and I'm like Lana Del gay.
• 1:16:54
  Yes, I need I need a chaperone with Lana Del Rey, but also I
• 1:16:58
  think with Halsey, the last song.
• 1:17:00
  I think that would be a great Halsey for to Halsey be with
• 1:17:03
  her. And then two other people that
• 1:17:07
  were coming to mind while listening to the album were
• 1:17:10
  Bishop Briggs, Like a river. Do you know the song Like a
• 1:17:14
  river? I think she would That would be
• 1:17:15
  another good one. And hear me out on this one hot
• 1:17:20
  take. Paris Paloma.
• 1:17:23
  She does feminist songs, but they're very much done in a more
• 1:17:26
  serious note. And I think that her and Chapel
• 1:17:29
  could like song write together, but I feel like Chapel would
• 1:17:33
  make it to where I'm not saying that it's it's more it's more
• 1:17:37
  easily digestible, like where people put it on and be like,
• 1:17:41
  oh, this is catchy da da da. And then when you're listening
• 1:17:43
  to the lyrics like you're. I want to, I want to dive into
• 1:17:45
  this, but I think it'll give away something later in the
• 1:17:47
  podcast when we do the wrap up. So I'm going to, I'm going to
• 1:17:49
  hold off on my thought with that.
• 1:17:50
  But I see where you're coming from.
• 1:17:52
  I do know there's one other person or two other people I
• 1:17:54
  would want her to collaborate with, but they're more of not
• 1:17:57
  her generation and I think. It would be Sarah Perales.
• 1:17:59
  Yeah, yeah. All right, California.
• 1:18:03
  All right, California. What do you think?
• 1:18:08
  I think this is very the grass isn't always greener on the
• 1:18:12
  other side that like the like I wanted it to be all of this and
• 1:18:18
  I was so close to getting there and I failed.
• 1:18:22
  And maybe it's not everything that I dreamt it would be, but
• 1:18:26
  it still got me somewhere. But I miss where I miss my
• 1:18:28
  roots. But I also feel like knowing her
• 1:18:33
  story now, like I think that's exactly what the what the piece
• 1:18:38
  is about that like I had it and I had to give up on all of it,
• 1:18:41
  but like I still at least got to experience something out of it.
• 1:18:46
  Yeah, yeah, I, I said in the beginning I said, oh,
• 1:18:50
  California. We've she's been attached to
• 1:18:52
  that place for a while. I wonder how the song plays out
• 1:18:54
  because it seemed like everything you've been hearing,
• 1:18:56
  like I can't, I love California, I love here, I love Santa
• 1:18:59
  Monica, I love Hollywood. And then she makes a song call
• 1:19:03
  California. You think it's be upbeat,
• 1:19:04
  positive about California. It's like now it was fun.
• 1:19:07
  I had some good things. Everything there, I'm attached
• 1:19:09
  to everything I love is there. Everything I want is there.
• 1:19:11
  But I, I, I miss home and I thought that was a cool song.
• 1:19:14
  I gave it a 3.5. I think it's it is lower on the
• 1:19:17
  plays when it comes here. This is where this the album
• 1:19:19
  really I guess Peters out. And I guess when you make an
• 1:19:22
  album you want that you want, you will only want to start,
• 1:19:24
  start hot, have a little dip, but keep everything going and
• 1:19:27
  then just ease people out with the end of the album.
• 1:19:29
  And I think California is the way to do it.
• 1:19:31
  The next song, Guilty Pleasures, is going to be the lowest played
• 1:19:33
  song on the album. I don't think California's a bad
• 1:19:36
  song. I gave it a 3.5.
• 1:19:38
  Same. Same with Naked in Manhattan,
• 1:19:39
  where you do see it kind of trickle down here at the end and
• 1:19:42
  it it the good pacing of an album.
• 1:19:45
  And yeah, I thought California was really good.
• 1:19:47
  Anything you want to add before we close out with Guilty
• 1:19:49
  Pleasure? I think that the other thing I'd
• 1:19:51
  like to say about I can't remember the name of the artist,
• 1:19:56
  but the song California, California.
• 1:20:01
  Here we come. Right.
• 1:20:03
  Oh, I was thinking California resting.
• 1:20:06
  That's. For Hot Chili Peppers, I would
• 1:20:07
  know who that is, but I mean that that California of like
• 1:20:10
  here, I'm coming to it and it's almost like that soft ballad.
• 1:20:13
  I feel like this is almost a reprise to that of like
• 1:20:15
  California, like I had all these dreams for you, but Take Me Out
• 1:20:21
  now, like the the Take Me Out. Take Me Out of California or
• 1:20:24
  come get, get, come Get Me Out. Come get me.
• 1:20:26
  Yeah. Come pick me up.
• 1:20:27
  Come get me Mom. Yeah.
• 1:20:29
  All right, guilty pleasures, guilty pleasure.
• 1:20:34
  She's found someone, she's into the person, and they're teaching
• 1:20:37
  her a whole new fucking side of kinks.
• 1:20:40
  Here's one for you. Are they or does she want to?
• 1:20:43
  Maybe, maybe a little bit of both.
• 1:20:46
  I, I think that song shouldn't be that lowly played.
• 1:20:48
  I think that's a good song. That's that's a banger.
• 1:20:51
  I I gave that a four out of five.
• 1:20:53
  I don't think that should be at 40,000,047 million plays.
• 1:20:56
  I think that holds true with the rest of the album and I thought
• 1:20:59
  it was a good song, liked it. Very, very Gaga.
• 1:21:04
  I got a lot of Gaga on that. I get, oh, I can't think of what
• 1:21:11
  it's called. What do you want me to be?
• 1:21:13
  It's like the 80s song. You're in my obsession.
• 1:21:17
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:21:23
  Yeah, yeah, I'm trying. To see what else is here.
• 1:21:27
  All right, there's no other no other bonus tracks.
• 1:21:31
  There's no deluxe editions for this.
• 1:21:33
  Yeah, so. Albums coming out soon though.
• 1:21:35
  Though all those pictures at the bottom that you were just
• 1:21:37
  looking at are from the new album.
• 1:21:39
  This. Yep, that.
• 1:21:40
  The construction worker. The dentist.
• 1:21:42
  So there's new stuff coming. Yeah, she so she said she was
• 1:21:45
  taking off from November to May to be to work on it.
• 1:21:49
  OK, so the song that she's releasing is There's Good Luck
• 1:21:53
  Babe was a single. Oh, has she already dropped
• 1:21:55
  them? So there's a yeah, there's a
• 1:21:56
  song called Good Luck Babe single, and then there is a song
• 1:22:00
  The Giver. The Giver.
• 1:22:01
  Yeah, that just came out a few days ago, I think.
• 1:22:03
  OK. So yeah, they're on tour.
• 1:22:05
  The Giver is going to be the name of the new album.
• 1:22:07
  Well, the the OK, well, the the song is called The Giver too.
• 1:22:11
  OK, 27 million plays so far. It'll be interesting see where
• 1:22:17
  they where they go, people. So some people that say if you
• 1:22:21
  like Sabrina Carpenter on this list, Charli XCX.
• 1:22:24
  Yeah, Lady Gaga, Loli Young, Gabriel Gracie, Abrams Dolce.
• 1:22:33
  Gigi Dolce. Sorry.
• 1:22:35
  Gigi Perez. Doja, Gigi, Addison, Ray.
• 1:22:40
  Hosier, Billy. Eilish, Paris, Paloma.
• 1:22:43
  That's what I said, Paris. Paloma Tate McRae The Bleachers
• 1:22:47
  Olivia Rodrigo Raven Raven Lynnae.
• 1:22:52
  She has beautiful hair BIA doa Doo bee oh I.
• 1:22:58
  Don't know. It's a Asian girl.
• 1:23:01
  I can't see what. Ogman Heap, which looks pretty
• 1:23:04
  wild, but yeah, these are all the people that you like.
• 1:23:06
  If you like Doja, you would like these other people too.
• 1:23:08
  You would like Doja? If you like Doja, if you like
• 1:23:10
  Chapel Rodin, that. So just to kind of pull up real
• 1:23:15
  quick reception. This album is a critically
• 1:23:19
  claimed response according to reviews and Metacritics.
• 1:23:24
  It happened have received universal acclaim based on the
• 1:23:26
  weight and average score of 85 out of 100 from 7 critic scores.
• 1:23:29
  Olivia horn from Pitchfork called the album bold and
• 1:23:32
  uproars introduction. What else we got?
• 1:23:36
  It has 1 alternative press, Best of 50 albums, best, best of 50
• 1:23:42
  albums of 2023, Billboard. Trying to see what else it won.
• 1:23:49
  The music award for best international artists, Danish
• 1:23:51
  Music Awards for best album of the year, Grammys pop album of
• 1:23:54
  the year nominated and best vocal pop album nominated.
• 1:23:58
  But I don't think they won, which is I think a a bummer.
• 1:24:06
  Trying to see what else we got here.
• 1:24:07
  It's pretty much all I got. Peak position for Argentina.
• 1:24:12
  So like all top 50, all top 100 US billboards ranked #2 for a
• 1:24:18
  while there. Yeah, it's, it's it's doing
• 1:24:22
  really well. Really popular when it comes
• 1:24:25
  from me to this album. When we kind of go back to my
• 1:24:27
  other set of notes here, Favorite parts are things you
• 1:24:31
  liked throughout the album. I think we talked about that
• 1:24:35
  when it came to music and songs as we went.
• 1:24:38
  Overall impressions hasn't changed, I guess.
• 1:24:42
  Has it changed for you? I mean, you're, you're a fan,
• 1:24:44
  you're a fan of of them. I would say that I don't think
• 1:24:48
  that, well, I mean, I would say that it changed from prior to
• 1:24:53
  listening to the album to me actually sitting down and
• 1:24:56
  listening to the album. Not this time, but I mean, the
• 1:25:00
  first time I actually sat down and listened to it, I was like,
• 1:25:02
  wow, I really connect with her more than I thought I was going
• 1:25:05
  to. OK, this is an artist for me
• 1:25:08
  that I came in knowing 2 songs. One was like, it overplayed how
• 1:25:12
  you said, very poppy. The other one is just kind of
• 1:25:14
  now popping off now. And I listened to and I was
• 1:25:17
  like, it's fine. Like I don't hate it.
• 1:25:19
  But like I said, listening. So we had a conversation in the
• 1:25:22
  car. I said I, I, I think people are
• 1:25:25
  treating her like the next Madonna.
• 1:25:26
  I'm treating her like the next Cher, the next Lady Gaga.
• 1:25:29
  I'm not sure if she's there yet. And I said, like, for me, I
• 1:25:32
  don't think vocally she stands out like any of those other
• 1:25:35
  people, but I will say songwriting wise, I think she's
• 1:25:38
  up on that par. And I think after listening now
• 1:25:40
  to an entire album, I think vocally she's very solid.
• 1:25:43
  I think she's very, very good. One of the people I, I said
• 1:25:46
  collaboration wise, I think of Madonna.
• 1:25:48
  I think she can be the next Madonna, the next Lady Gaga, the
• 1:25:51
  next I, I think she can be that next cultural icon.
• 1:25:54
  I, after listening to this album, I have a new respect for
• 1:25:57
  her. I think she's very, very
• 1:25:58
  talented and I'm excited to see the rest of her career and how
• 1:26:01
  she develops and grows as an artist and as a person.
• 1:26:04
  I think as an album, I think it was paced very well.
• 1:26:07
  I think it told it a story of struggling with your sexuality
• 1:26:11
  and moving across the world and chasing your dreams and being
• 1:26:15
  homesick and discovering yourself and partying and
• 1:26:18
  exploring drugs and sex and rock'n'roll.
• 1:26:22
  I think that's all there too, of chasing art and dreams.
• 1:26:25
  I think as an album, I'm going to give this a 4A4 out of five.
• 1:26:30
  I want to give it that 4.5 out of five.
• 1:26:32
  Is that good? That's.
• 1:26:33
  Where I would. Get I'm I'm I'm between a four
• 1:26:36
  or four, 4.5 out of five. I think it's a fantastic,
• 1:26:40
  fantastic, fantastic album and I'm glad I reviewed it.
• 1:26:43
  I'm glad I consumed it. I'm glad I know more now about
• 1:26:46
  Chapel Row. I am.
• 1:26:47
  Too. Yeah, I'm really glad you
• 1:26:49
  listened to it because like I think I, I brought it up to you
• 1:26:51
  a few weeks ago that like. Oh, cuz I think so.
• 1:26:55
  We usually just throw on whoever is driving the other person puts
• 1:26:58
  their phone on to listen to music.
• 1:27:00
  And nine times out of 10, like, I mean this so respectfully, but
• 1:27:05
  if it's a song you don't like, you're like, OK, put this on,
• 1:27:07
  put this on, put this on. And I just threw on my, my
• 1:27:10
  soundtrack of like, or my library of songs that were on
• 1:27:13
  there. And I'm like, OK, I know this is
• 1:27:14
  Chapel Rd. and it's not really your jam, but we're gonna listen
• 1:27:17
  to it because I've been listening to her.
• 1:27:19
  And I think that you should like, give it a shot.
• 1:27:21
  And I feel like that was myself the the advice that I wish I
• 1:27:26
  would have taken like a year ago when she was popping off
• 1:27:28
  everywhere that like, just give it a shot.
• 1:27:30
  Yeah. I, I'm kind of a nightmare when
• 1:27:32
  it comes to consuming new content because I want to
• 1:27:34
  consume it here in this platform with you all.
• 1:27:37
  So when we're laying in bed at night and I'm like, she's like,
• 1:27:39
  I want to put this movie on. I'm like, I want to watch that
• 1:27:42
  with a camera in front of me. I know it sounds stupid and
• 1:27:44
  silly, but like if I want to be a content creator and I want to
• 1:27:47
  talk about it, I want that genuine authenticity of
• 1:27:50
  experiencing it, turning the camera on and talking to you
• 1:27:52
  about it. This isn't something I pre
• 1:27:55
  thought of, an idea of how my perceptions are going to be.
• 1:27:57
  Like I'm consuming it and being straight to honest to you of how
• 1:28:00
  I feel and I don't want to watch something and then come back
• 1:28:03
  later and do that. I think it loses what I want to
• 1:28:05
  do as a content creator and how I want to present my content to
• 1:28:09
  people. So I hope let me know in the
• 1:28:11
  comments if you guys listened along with us.
• 1:28:13
  If you listened to this and then went back and listened to the
• 1:28:15
  album. If you listened to the album and
• 1:28:16
  then came and joined us, I think we should have said in the
• 1:28:19
  beginning, you probably should go track by track and then hang
• 1:28:21
  out with us. But maybe we'll do that in the
• 1:28:23
  future. Maybe we're still finding
• 1:28:24
  ourselves as how we're going to do reviews when it comes to
• 1:28:26
  movies and music. I enjoyed it.
• 1:28:28
  I hope you guys did too. Let us know in the comments of
• 1:28:30
  some music or some albums or artists that you should that we
• 1:28:34
  should check out or movies in general.
• 1:28:36
  So we're going to be bouncing between movies and music here on
• 1:28:39
  the Not cool in high school. Maybe some other things too.
• 1:28:41
  But well, thank you guys so much for tuning in.
• 1:28:43
  I'm not looking forward to editing all the music aspect out
• 1:28:45
  of this, but I was like I said, I'm going to be as honest and
• 1:28:48
  authentic as I can. Lily, where can people find and
• 1:28:51
  support you? OK.
• 1:28:52
  So we're going to go with the business side of things.
• 1:28:56
  I think from here on out. I just because of personal
• 1:29:00
  things and personal things getting crazy, I'm going to
• 1:29:02
  stick to all of my links being on my business page.
• 1:29:05
  So you can find me on Facebook at witchcrafts by Lily or
• 1:29:08
  fighting with fashion on Facebook and Instagram.
• 1:29:12
  Witchcrafts by Lily TikTok is witchcrafts by Lily 13 all one
• 1:29:16
  word and or you can find me on, you know, a bunch of Abjs
• 1:29:21
  podcasts I pop in frequently. We do Blazing Buds together and
• 1:29:25
  you know, reviews here and there so.
• 1:29:27
  Yeah, a lot of recent content she's been joining me on I, I'm
• 1:29:31
  not saying I'm kicking her off or you're not going to see it
• 1:29:33
  all the time, but there is sometimes where I do want to
• 1:29:35
  stand on my own as a content creator.
• 1:29:37
  I do like vibing off of her and talking to her and chatting with
• 1:29:39
  her and I love having her a part of it.
• 1:29:41
  But there may be sometimes where maybe they're not on camera.
• 1:29:43
  I don't think anything weird of it.
• 1:29:44
  It's just I still want to stand on my own as a solo person, but
• 1:29:48
  a lot of the stuff you're going to see, we will be with Lily
• 1:29:50
  because we're always together and we we are exploring this art
• 1:29:53
  together. The next album is something that
• 1:29:55
  was picked out. I picked out Chapel Roll, Chapel
• 1:29:58
  Roll. That's that was Chapel Roan.
• 1:30:00
  That was something I picked out. The next one we're going to be
• 1:30:02
  reviewing album wise is going to be the search by NF.
• 1:30:06
  It has been requested by a lot of people to me that I should
• 1:30:09
  listen to NF, that I would like him, that I would be into it.
• 1:30:13
  So we're. Taking a little bit of a turn
• 1:30:15
  here from Chapel Roan to NF. So this is something Lily
• 1:30:18
  picked. That's going to be the next
• 1:30:19
  album review we're going to do. If you see us wearing the same
• 1:30:22
  clothes, it's because we did it the same day.
• 1:30:23
  A lot of content, a lot of. We don't have a lot of free time
• 1:30:26
  and especially with weekends coming up, we were actually not
• 1:30:28
  supposed to even be home this weekend.
• 1:30:31
  But you know, cancels and changings and financials and
• 1:30:35
  money, which is all changing soon with our jobs and stuff,
• 1:30:37
  which is exciting. But this is like that kind of
• 1:30:39
  first weekend where we maybe shot ourselves a little too far
• 1:30:42
  ahead before we could of saying we're going to go to a city and
• 1:30:44
  go do our thing. The car is not the greatest
• 1:30:46
  right now. We're trying to really, really
• 1:30:49
  be careful and we are slowly doing a trip in two weeks to
• 1:30:52
  Philly. So maybe not doing 2 trips
• 1:30:54
  back-to-back when smarter. And we just kind of played it
• 1:30:57
  off. We're bummed that we did miss,
• 1:30:59
  you know, great shows and great events, but I think was for the
• 1:31:02
  best this time around until we get more on our feet.
• 1:31:05
  But a lot of content will be coming.
• 1:31:06
  Thank you guys so much. But we clam.
• 1:31:08
  We try to clamorate clam a bunch in one day and then have it
• 1:31:11
  spaced out throughout the month. So we have like a day we just
• 1:31:14
  sit down and consume a bunch of stuff, which I think it's fun.
• 1:31:16
  And we're going to do that today with music, 2 music albums and
• 1:31:20
  probably a couple movies because it's going to take a quick break
• 1:31:22
  here, then record the next. But it's like almost 2:00 and we
• 1:31:25
  still have a lot of daylight left and a lot of day people are
• 1:31:28
  hammering in the background. I hope you guys won't pick that
• 1:31:29
  up, but we'll see you on the next one.
• 1:31:31
  Not cool in high school. We're out of here.
