  Speaker 3: humiliating because my hair was a little bit, you know,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: I didn't have the full ponytail, and I had a
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: strand falling out and it was just the most embarrassing
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: thing in the world.

• 2:43
  Speaker 5: been having us do all these different types of interviews
• 2:46

  Speaker 5: Yeah, she rebooted the show just because she's so excited
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: about this competition. But what's been so fun about this

  Speaker 5: were so we're so close in the show and judging
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: and being these coaches, these vocal coaches.

  Speaker 1: That's really interesting because my name is Rob Yert.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: So did you think we were calling you yogurt? Did
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: you think it was like a fun nickname?
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I thought you were asking somebody to bring you yogurt,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: That's what I thought. But Robert is it is a
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Nordic tradition to have a name like that. So it
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: isn't necessarily technically a Nordic name, but it's a Nordic
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: tradition to have a name spelled like that.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: You're not you're not Nordic, but you're practicing Nordic.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I constructed my name in the in the Nordic tradition,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: you did? I did?
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: So what do people know you from?
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: So you might know me? From my songs. I was
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: writing an album for every single capital city in the
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: entire South American continent. So you might know me from
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: my album Bogota. You might know me from my album
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Mexico City. I wrote a couple of hours. You might
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: know me from uh Uruguay. Uruguay is the capital of
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Uruguay is Uruguay. You might know me from Ketel. Ecuador
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: was one of the ones I did that.

  Speaker 2: Is so fun. Yogurt, you are so much fun and
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: it's been so fun.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I also wrote I wrote a song for
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: an Oscar about an Oscar winning song for an Oscar
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: winning movie, which was also really fun, but we do
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: not talk about it.
• 5:34
  Speaker 8: I mean, but your songwriter first, right, I'm.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: A songwriter first, and then I let my feelings enter
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: into my throat and then they dance around a little bit,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and what comes out is what I have. And I
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: think it's fun and spiritual and I have kind of
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: an independent voice and I've created my own little opportunities
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: for myself and and that's who I am.
• 5:56
  Speaker 8: You remind me a little bit of when Ed Sheeron
• 5:58
  Speaker 8: was coming up.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: When we're basically all listening to Ed Shearon's music and
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: we didn't know it, right, So then we finally saw
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: his face and we all thought he was new, but
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: we knew his music.
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: That's so true.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: We were listening to Ed Sheeran in elevators and malls
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: and stores.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: Much longer than he was around.
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: In a way, Shearon has been one of us for
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: quite a long time.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Right, So you might not know me, but you know me.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean. You've seen me, you've heard me,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: you've experienced me. But now you get to meet me.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: And I'm really happy about that. Why am I still
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: talking about myself? I feel like I want to go
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: into a little clamshow and close up. Somebody else starts speaking.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: Okay, okay, okay, okay.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I'm Mara Aura. I am a singer. I am known
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: as a pop artist. Pop is in singing, not pop
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: artists in Jackson Pollock.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I don't think anyone thought that.
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: I didn't. I don't even know what that is.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: But you never know. I'm with all these artsy people
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: all the time. You never know. So I have a
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: lipstick brand, but that's not all I do.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Marra Aura lipstick smacken, That's that's the name. Of my
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: line and I'm just it's so embarrassing. I was just
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: in London promoting it and I accidentally mispronounced the name
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: as Marra Aura's Lipstick smirkin and everyone was laughing in
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: the minds at me. I'm pretty sure because that's not
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: the name. The name is Mara Aura's Lipsticks lipsick. Oh
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: my god, I just did it again. I'm authentically embarrassed.
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: Seek Yeah, what happened there sounded authentic because that sounded
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: like a tongue twister. But you switching it from smacking
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: to smirkins sounded like I don't understand how you did.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, Robin, You're so silly. Are you suggesting
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: that I would intentionally create an embarrassing moment for someone
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: to TikTok, clip it and duet or stitch with their
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: most embarrassing moments with hashtag my Marra Ora lipstick smacking
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: embarrassing moment because that would never.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: Happen to me.
• 8:10
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: Anyway, I'm a pop artist.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: People know me for my album lip Banging and maney
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: His throughout the years, and I'm so excited to be
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: fostering a new generation of youth singer.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: Yes, in Netflix. Is singing something Marra famously?
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, go ahead, go ahead, You famously have one album
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: and fifty singles.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Well, if that's interesting.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: You pay people according to a certain scale, depending on
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: whether it's single, whether it's an album, So this is
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: cheaper and mirror.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I have a question that has always been bubbling in
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: my heart's mind, Anne, I want to tell I wanted
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: to ask it to you, which is you know, there's
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of rumors that lip banging is secretly about
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: oral sex. Would you want to answer that top of
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: the interview answer.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: God, I'm so embarrassed that you would bring that up,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: are you it's just lip banging?
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: The phrase I just.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: I'm listen, Rob Jared, I'm blushed. The idea that lip
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: banging is about I assume you mean fanny lips slapping together.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Is that what you mean by banny lips but lips? No,
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: a Fanny is a China at least where I'm from. Oh,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: my goodness, which is Britain, General Britain.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I'm so embarrassed about talking about such things.
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: My eyelashes are gonna fall out.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, you're so cute. Stop you're too cute.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: You're too cute anyway. I enough about me and Marra
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Aorra's banging lip black.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, I'm so embarrassed.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Hi, guys, what's up. I'm Polly Parker, and I am
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: the mean one. I I.
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: Mean the contestants. I am the mean one.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: I do a lot of mean things. I kind of
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: ripped them apart. I let them know the real deal.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: And I'm the mean one. Yep, that's eating.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: So awesome that you're doing that.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I had music career. A music career was so good.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: It was so great, and it was a lot of success,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: but it didn't take off the way we want. But
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: that's all right because now I'm a big music person
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: and a music producer, and so now I'm the mean one.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: You're so big and you're so huge, and you really
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: took off. I've always wondered, this is kind of a
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: cheeky question. How old are you?
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: I well, when I was famous, I was seventeen.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Okay, And how long were you famous for? Again, it
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: was seventeen.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I didn't trying to censor it out, you know, Okay,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: it is.
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: It's a powerful way you edit yourself. Yeah. I love
• 11:07
  Speaker 8: when you yourself.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Like you guys don't hear my age. I'll tell you, guys,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: my age is eh.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: I love you do all your own bleeps.
• 11:16
  Speaker 8: It is really fantastically, I really do.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: It really helps when you're being mean too, because a
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: lot of times you'll go off with your mother, no talent,
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: piece of you nailed it.
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: That's exactly what happens to me.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: It's okay, darling.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's kind of me. I'm the mean one,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: and I was famous. I used to be a pop star,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: but now in a country music star. But now I'm
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: doing this show and it's great.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's really been exciting to see your career
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: beginning to blossom back up.
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: I'm getting a lot of great press now. It's really fun.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Actually your I think the first thing I saw it
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: wasn't your new single, and it wasn't you getting any gigs,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: but your Halloween mask is the number one.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Number one Halloween mask all Party City and any pop
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: up Halloween star.
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: It's crazy.
• 12:03
  Speaker 8: It is so terrifying, it's so scary.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: It's so round.
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: It's very round. Yeah.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Well my face is notoriously round, that's the thing about it.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: And that's what I was famous. For us having a
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: round face and being able to sing.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: You think everything you say that's mean cuts deeper. It's
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: from someone with a round face. Normally you think of
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: criticism as people with rectangular faces.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: It's like, people aren't expecting me to be the mean one.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: And I think that's why Netflix is singing something feels different.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: You know, they don't expect me to be the mean one.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: But I cut throat. I really, I really let him know.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: And the response has been great. I mean, the online
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: just because we dropped the trailer. It's been really fun
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: to see the responses about how how people are excited
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: about how mean I am, like saying like, she's a stupid,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: stupid idiot, why is she being so mean?
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: What's wrong with her? So it's really fun.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: That's great, that's so fun, And I'm so happy for you.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Our final judge.
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: Hey, what's up, guys. It's Robin Thick.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Robin. I can't believe we got you from that.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: It's so amazing because I knew I already knew you obviously,
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: but hearing you say your name out loud, it's just
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: it fills me with such joy to know that Robin
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Thick is here.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: It's so crazy that we actually got Robin Thick.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Now, how do you manage your schedule with the voice
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: or no, not the voice, the singer and Netflix is
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: singing something that must be one heck of a schedule insane.
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, the mass singer, I am.
• 13:39
  Speaker 8: So I don't think this is for the listeners.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: Even though this isn't a scripted television show, we still
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: do have call sheets. We have call sheets, and I
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: am not first on the call sheet for the mask singer.
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: Who is and.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: Ken?
• 13:56
  Speaker 8: Ken?
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: It's Ken, and I love Ken and I love working
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: with Ken. I love Ken, and I love working with Ken.
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: But for Christmas this year, I asked for Santa. I asked,
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: I asked for.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: You asked for Santa for Christmas.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: That's like when the genie you asked him to give
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: you all the more.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: I asked just for Santah because I said, this is
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: just be easier. And then second of all, I asked,
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: I said, I want to be top of the call sheet.
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: And I and I sat down with my wife and
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: my kids and we talked about future planning because a
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: mass singer, we only shoot four months out of the
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: year and I I want I want to do more.
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: I wanted to do more, so I reached out to
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: my agents. My agents told Netflix, Robin wants to do more.
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: And that's kind of believe it or not, how Netflix
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: is singing something started because I'm an EP. Everyone at
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: this table is an EP of the show, which is huge, huge.
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: I gotta go into a lot of the creativity.
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and I think we could start. I think we
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: could start.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we have to talk about why this show as
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: a singing show is completely different than any other sings.
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: Different, different, And that's what I said. I said to Netflix.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: I sat down with them and I said, are you
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: ready to play ball?
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: Hey?
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: How this guy pops onto every zoom By the way,
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: every zoom session, you know, he's.
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: A drink, you know, on zoom when the audio it
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: doesn't sit the audio to then start yet it's just
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: a face and it asks you if audio.
• 15:33
  Speaker 8: Zinc That's usually when I go heo. So you can't
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: really hear it.
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: But so I sat down with Netflix and uh, when
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: Santa granted my wish and.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: I sat down, Okay, wait, so did Santa?
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: How did this material?
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: Loze?
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: So did you ask Santa? He wrote a letter to
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: Santa and then Netflix cold.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: He asked for Santa.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: But did Santa cold Netflix and pull some strings.
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: It was Christmas. Let's be let's be clear. I asked
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: in a letter to Santa for what I wanted for Christmas.
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: It was for Santa and for another show. Okay, he
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: wrote back, thanks for the cookies, Merry Christmas.
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: You can't have me, but I'll give you a show.
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: And a couple months later, after I was sitting down
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: with my agents and talking to them, Netflix came to
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: the table and they said, we're ready to play ball.
• 16:23
  Speaker 8: What do you want to do?
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: And I sat down and I said, I want to
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: work with artists. I want to work with more songwriters.
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: I want to work with yes, the people that I'm
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: sitting here with today, I want to work with more artists.
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: And I want to get what I love about the
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: voice that I don't have on mess singer that I
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: wanted to do, which is a team based mentorship, which
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: we have on Netflix's singing. We have, we have mentorships
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: and we have teams. But but different than the voice.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Well, this is how it's different is there's one person
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: who's performing, and there's one person who's singing that's behind
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: the curtain and you have to figure out who matches
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: whose voice the best and then push that.
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: And we are mentoring people financially, socially, emotionally, and musically.
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: So we're not just mentor religious.
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: And so we're all religious.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Well religious, I'm really religious.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: Different religious.
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and we don't need to go.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: Into detail that privately off camera. All of my mentees
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: have been two jurdre in a very specific religion.
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, love that.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: So then Netflix brought to table a short list of
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: a bunch of people and then YadA, YadA, here we
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: are with these people here to Yeah.
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so let's talk about how it's different.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so let's talk about how it's different. So the
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: biggest difference, I guess is with the mentorships is it's
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: all encompassing and it doesn't stop once the show is over.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: So now that we have been on the show, and
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: if you're contestant on the show, it continues in perpetuity
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: until Netflix decides it's over. So these people were going
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: to be checking in with them even if they've lost.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: We check in with them for years and years and years.
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: And what's so powerful about these mentorships that isn't like
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: the voice or anything else. Is that we aren't picking
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: the artists, and the artists aren't picking us. We let
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: the universe pick it. So similar to the way the
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: chair spins, we are spinning okay, and we wait for
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: the batteries to die on the spin for us to
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: naturally see who we turn around for.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: And then we get up and we look for signs hummingbirds, caterpillars,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: things that maybe higher power is telling us this is
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: the person need to go with.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: And like I said right at the beginning, too, again
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: there's a singer behind a curtain and a performer in front,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: and one is lip singing to the ones behind the curtain,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: and one's performing, and we get to choose who we
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: want to eliminate. Every week we either get an eliment
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: the person in the front or the person in.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: The back exactly. And what's the difference between performing and singing?
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: I would say performing is lip singing in this one.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: So it's basically it's seen singing in the rain where
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: the woman is singing behind and the woman is singing
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: in front.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: And so most I would say singing shows are shot
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: over a period of months.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: Ours is shot over a period of decades. Right. So
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: we've been working on.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: This one for ten years because as you said, as
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Rogard said, we have to check in rubiod Someday I'll
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: get it right.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: I hope. So we have to be working for ten years,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: keep going, oh.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: My god, oh my god.
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: Stop.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: We have to continue checking in with the contestants.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: So we I was ten years younger when this started,
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: which means you must.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: Ah exactly, and so we have to continue in these
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: checkpoints in our lives.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: And what's so interesting is that a lot of these
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: contestants are not doing well and some I will say
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: two are no longer with us.
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: No, two of might have died. Two of them might
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: have died.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: But it's so sweet the way you continue to visit
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: your gravestones. And we have an equal airtime, equal air,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: equal air well airtime. So whatever five minutes you would
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: have spent with those contestants, were they still with it.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: And let me say it's it feels weird to be
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: mean to a gravestone.
• 20:33
  Speaker 8: But that's but that's your character arc, that's who you are.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: Set in perpetuity.
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: So there's something we can do.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: There's something weird about ripping apart somebody who's buried six
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: feet under.
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: But I'll do it.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: I'll do it, and I'll get and I'll lay into them.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Because they're not singing anymore. I go kind of like,
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: where's your work ethic gun, Yeah, are you pursuing?
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: I like it when you bring celebrity guest judges to
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: help you mentor them. So you when you brought Smokey
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Robinson too, that Smoky.
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: Robbins said it looked at the grave and did not
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: know what to do.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: I loved when you brought Tam from Queer Eye and
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: you put different ties on the grave.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: The way they look at the grave is so interesting.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: It's so different. It's so good to different.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Perspectives and they really helped. I mean those some of
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: the fast when you got.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Jeff Ross to roast the gravestone, that was.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know why we did that. It wasn't really
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: singing oriented, but I man, it was funny when Jeff
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Ross roasted those gravestones.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's funny. And it's been fun to see everyone's processes.
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: Right, some years have died. We've been following these for
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: ten years.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: I mean a lot of them have had musical careers
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: and they've ended a lot of them never had. It's like,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: at this point, you should have had it.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: At this point, might not live on an island. It's
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: been really fun.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: Oh so you right? You mentored them onto an island.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: In the Bermuda Triangle, a little child island, Radyards Island. Yeah,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: and it's been really amazing. And the experiences and the
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: revelations we've made, they are so I will say, they
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: are absolutely addicted to sugar, and it's been hard to
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: get them off. But other than that, we've been having
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: so much fun.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: Sugar. It's purest fault.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: It's just Caine. They're just constantly constantly on Cane and
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: I say, and I see, show me your teeth even
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: not on Caane. Haven't you even non on Caine? And
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I tell them you can't. No on Caine. If we're
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: gonna sing, it's gonna rotch your teeth. And no pop
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: star has bad teeth.
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: It's such good, too, is so good.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: She is so good, but we gotta be careful. She
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: lost to Molo last week.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: That's so sad. On Cane, it's sad the show doesn't
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: give us dentals.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I wish, I wish the show gave us dental.
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: But what I love about the show is we still
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: get the studio aspect from back then in the early nineties,
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: what people loved about American Idol. Yeah, right, so we
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: go back. So we come back from the triangle.
• 22:53
  Speaker 8: We come back.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: Unfortunately the dead can't come, but we we go back
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: to the studio.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: There's you can still vote.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: I have eliminated something backslash vote slash now.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: So basically how it works is we have filmed ten
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: years of footage and we are finally ready to put
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: up the competition.
• 23:15
  Speaker 8: Right, and that will air live.
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: That's going to be airing live.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: And also they've worked out an AI machine where we
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: can vote pre so we can actually go back and
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: see the results of something ten years later.
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: Because we filmed all the difference, you.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: Can see what we describe as the butterfly effect. Right,
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: So we are going to have episodes where you go
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: back in time and like the AI thing, you get
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: to see what would have happened if one person had
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: stayed in one round.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: And so when it does come down to voting, an
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: AI generated version of one of your singers, Polly could
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: beat one of my living performers.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: I'm so excited to see if that happens, It's going
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: to be interesting.
• 23:55
  Speaker 8: It's all the best parts of American idols.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: The voice, yea, the best part of American idol because
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: we say the phrase you're going to Hollywood.
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: We do, Yes, we do, And I will say it's
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: it's really fascinating on a kind of associate economic standpoint
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: and you know, a standpoint for all of humanity because AI,
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: we love them.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: They helped us imagine what it would be like if
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: COVID didn't happen, so so we completely h brought our
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: singers through this imagined world of if COVID didn't exist.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: It's great. So if you guys are following, I'm pretty
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: sure it's very clear.
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: We have all the best parts of American it's the
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: mass singer.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: So you guys got to watch end vote because this
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: is one of the few Netflix shows that will be
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: released weekly instead of all at once.
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: And also, what I love about our show because I
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: remember all of us when we finally hired you guys,
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: brought you guys on as EPs, which was one of
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: the best days of my life.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: I'll just say, better than better than your child's birth.
• 24:59
  Speaker 8: All four of them.
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: Yes, So when you all came in. We said, I
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: hate that there's always one winner. When clay Aken won
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: or did he lose?
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: He lost.
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: When Ruben stuttered one and clay Aken lost, I lost
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: my goddamn mind.
• 25:16
  Speaker 8: Okay, I lost it, and Ruben Robin Thick never loses it. Okay.
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: So we all decided that there's not just going to
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: be a winner. There's going to be a winner, a
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: best personality winner.
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: A mayor.
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: There's a there's a mayor, there's a banker, and there's
• 25:38
  Speaker 8: a you the hottest bitch in this place.
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Robin really put that reward.
• 25:46
  Speaker 9: And there's an angel gets to when they die, when
• 25:50
  Speaker 9: they reached the end of their mortal coils, when they
• 25:54
  Speaker 9: shed them, there is an opportunity for them to be
• 25:57
  Speaker 9: resuscitated into backed into the world.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: Of the living. And it's interesting because the audience votes.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: So normally you would think, oh, we'll just revive the
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: dead players, but so bad they have.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: They have not one audience and one dead bear has
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: been dead, has been officially kicked off.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: So it's we broken this very exclusive, one of a
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: kind deal never before done with the Angel of Death
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: and a dream I had and it's so exciting because
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: I think it's.
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: Such a great connection you have, Yogurt.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: I can't believe it.
• 26:29
  Speaker 8: I mean when he said, say that was the second
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: best day of my life.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: He came to me in a dream. He said, I
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: want to make a deal, and I said, okay, but
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Kennedy about my reality show. And I say, what is
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: the price at this deal? The price of the deal,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: he said, I won't know until I reached the end
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: of my road.
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: But it's really fun, guys.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: It's been really great just for the last ten years,
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: getting to know my team and my connections has been
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: one of the most rewarding things in my life.
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: To give back like that, I would.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Like to discuss that. I would like to communicate from
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: our hearts for two or mouths to each other's ears
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: about that, because I think it's really exciting that we
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: are in mentor positions. And I would love to know
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: what it's like for you guys because we're performing for
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: so long or for a brief period of time, ah
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: years ago. I would like to know what it's like
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: for you guys to be leaders in this way.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's the most rewarding thing I've ever done. It
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: is so good to give back because I all my Marauders,
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: as I call them, that's what the team is called,
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: because I'm Maraura lip smack in and and so it's
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: a little play on words, Maraura Marauders. So my Marauders,
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: I meet with them so closely, so intensely. I get
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: them in a conference room in Burbank and I call
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: in and they gather around the phone and I tell them,
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: my babies, you can be anything you want to be.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: You can be absolutely anything you want to be. And
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: I do this for probably ten minutes at a time
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: every three to four months. So they're getting individual, one
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: on one, one of a kind advice that I would
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: never give to the outside world, and they are turning
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: into wonderful little singers. I'm also helping them with entrepreneurship.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: I have this one contestant who I'm in love with,
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: I'm gaga over, and she is coming out with her
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: own mascarer line. Her name is Ashley. Her line's name
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: is Ashley ca Power and Mascow for the Modern Woman.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: And you can buy that available soon only on TikTok shop.
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: And so I'm so excited.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: For not only my singers, but the many brand deals
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: and endorsements and products that they themselves are going to
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: launch as a result of the singing.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like the craziest thing that's happened to one
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: of your one of your marauders over the last ten years.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Well, one of my marauders. She really wanted to get
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: into oil, and I said, you go, girl, you do that.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: I trust you. I believe in you one hundred percent.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: But it got into some legal territory where she was
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: drilling for oil in people's homes. And I got a
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: lot of calls, and my lawyers advised me to severtisee
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: with this marauder, but unfortunately we can't.
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: No, I heard that, and so you got her to
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: sing her way out of it, right.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: And so she sang her way out of it. I
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: got her to sing really really bad so that when
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: this airs, America will hopefully God willing vote her off
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: and to get off my back.
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: That's a good producer.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: Because it's the thing about these like I, it's like,
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: why would I be legally responsible?
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: Right?
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: Well, to the deal with this contract is that we
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: are adopting these people.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: We're there guardians.
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: It's a weird part that Netflix didn't have a saying
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: that we.
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: They did not have a saying. You pushed for it, right.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: Robin, Because we have to make sure that there are
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: stakes to these mentorship relationships. We have to make sure
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: that there are long standing ratifications that we're.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: Not just turning a chair because of a sob story.
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: Yes, let me tell you when you were working on
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: the Mass Singer and they just take off the mask
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: and you learn who it is and that's it, and
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: that's fucking it and there are no steaks and I
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: don't go home with anybody and nothing changes and it
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: was just Hilary Duff under the dental f loss mask.
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah what then? What?
• 30:55
  Speaker 8: So that's what I said to Netflix.
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: I said, we need everlasting steaks that change the game,
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: and they said, okay, we'll look the other way.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I heard you try to steal some of the outfits sometimes.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: I heard you put them under your shirt at the mess.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: I'm really really good friends with Jenny McCarthy. I knew that.
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: I knew that I should I should have known better.
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: Jenny, she can't keep a cigarett to hold her fucking
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: tits out. What that's the saying we used to say
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: in Malibu when I was younger, so so I yes,
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: I put them under my shirts because I believe it
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: or not, I get very beloaated anyway.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: You put them under your shirts to hide how bugged
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: you are, because I'm because I have a gluten analogy
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: and my stomach blows up like a balloon.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: By the last ten years having crazy for me, I've been.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: It's been tough being mean, but I love being mean.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: It's been the great feedback. I think what the viewers
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: are we.
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: Should we should tell the listeners that when you came on,
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: we told you to be mean.
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: It was.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: It was a little bit of symbiosis in my career.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: You know, I was looking for a new avenue. I
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: was like the pretty girl who is only nice and
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: only seen with daisies, and only seen with flowers, and
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: only see with an acoustic guitar.
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: And I needed a switch.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: I needed to shift up because if I was gonna
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: keep my career going for another hot years, I needed
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: something different.
• 32:18
  Speaker 8: And you're on the precipice of hot and quirky, and.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: Your so close you just have to lean the ship
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: to one side.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: So somebody said, if you're mean, you're hot, and and
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: I thought that, but also mean could be quirky, So
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 32:36
  Speaker 8: It is cheaper than a nose job.
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: I told my wife that, you told your wife that,
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: So your wife is mean?
• 32:42
  Speaker 8: You now, yes, and I regret that.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Day I told you started being mean?
• 32:46
  Speaker 8: Yes, And I wish I could.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Buyers tell you wife that, So I started being mean.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: The next ten years, it's been great. I've been loving it.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: My relationships are so great. Everybody is very intimidated by me.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: They don't know what's gonna come out of my mouth
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: and what I'm gonna say. And every day is a
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: new day, and I love it. They all live in
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: my big house and we figure it out on the way.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: They're kind of like worship me in a weird way,
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: but not in a big way.
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: It's like kind of like a fun cute thing where
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: like if eggs are served, they know I'm gonna flip,
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: but I don't always flip on eggs, and sometimes I
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: asks for eggs, and whoever it makes eggs first get
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: surprized and the price I.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: Just really quickly we should jot down. Sorry, ep nonsense.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: If eggs are served, you know she's gonna flip. That's
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: a T shirt anyway, go on.
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: That's so good.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: See, this is why our friendship is so much deeper
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: than a lot of people realize. This woman has had
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: my back since day one, ten years ago.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: Day one ten years ago when I spotted you across
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: the bar and you were seventeen and you were doing shots.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: And I said, I'm done with this business out I
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: want something else.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: And I said, let me introduce you to this man,
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Robin Thick.
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: And then the rest is history.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: And I kind of.
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: Wandered in you just kind of.
• 34:08
  Speaker 8: Netflix building was a spa I did.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: I thought it was the least far.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: Well every and no disparagement on.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: You, none taking in advance.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: It's you know, a lot of these shows, you know,
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: they need three very famous singers, and they need one
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: behind the scenes person, one writer, songwriter or producer to
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: give it legitimacy, right, And I would say that.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Roger Robert, you're probably the most legit out of all
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: of us. I mean, like name some of the songs
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: are like, you've written so many beautiful songs.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've written a couple of songs. So I've written
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: into the hearts of my mind, I go freely. But
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: the ones who wander are the ones who don't know Ray.
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: Of course, I've been working on the railroad. No.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: I actually wrote a response to that, which was, I
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: I have been riding the rails, thinking of my ancestors
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: who have worked on these very single rails, and I
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: am getting rails in the back of a car by
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: a senator.
• 35:14
  Speaker 8: Things that was so layered.
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: And the fact that you walked into our built thinking
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: it was a spa and that ship comes out of
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: your mouth.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: You know, I did think it was a spa is
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: because I was told by Scooter Brawn that it was
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: a spa, because he uses Netflix as a spa, meaning
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: when he takes meetings there, he goes in and he
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: stinks up the bathroom and the events and he closes
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: the vents.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: Because I work with Scooter, he is a little rascal.
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: He's a rascal.
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: Take me in the back.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: But he's a good guy. He's a nice guy. But
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: I am happy to be involved. I like that I
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: give legitimacy. I don't see legitimacy the way other people do.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: I see it a little differently.
• 35:59
  Speaker 8: That's amazing.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Legitimacy is being present for the sun to give you with.
• 36:04
  Speaker 8: Its rays and the contestants you mentor show.
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: That, Yeah, how are they to do? What do you
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: say to them? How do you help them?
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Well, so I do a lot of the work for them.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: I'm mostly they They play a lot of the music
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: for me, and then I sit down and I say,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: this is not quite right. Let me record it over,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: let me record it over. And so so I've gotten
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a bad habit, which is recording
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: over them, writing for them, and frequently dressing up as
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: them and performing as them.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Well, that's actually crazy because you actually, when contestants get
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: kind of like feedback, because we also give our feedback,
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: you seem very defensive about their songs and stuff.
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: Yes, well because they work lot of bread.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: They work, so they work so hard, and.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: You're always wiping lipstick off your mouth.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Yes, I certainly am, and I know I have to
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: go to the bathroom every time. One of my guests,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: one of my uh guys, this.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: Little We had this joke on set.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: You never see Robert and any of his mentees in
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: the same room.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: No, never, Yes, it's.
• 37:07
  Speaker 8: Such a funny joke.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: He just had this experience in the full moon of
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: the Bermuda Triangle where I think there was this kind
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: of moment where we became one and I actually woke
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: up and I couldn't find them anywhere, And then I
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: can hear them and I realize they're in me. It's
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: just like a weird thing.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Tell oh my gosh, the experience of losing your mentees.
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: It's scary. It's happened to me a couple.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: It's there, far away, but they're closer than they've ever been.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
• 37:34
  Speaker 8: It's I mean, it's different for you.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: No, yeah, I don't get that. I feel like some
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: of them die and then some of them leave and
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: I can't find them for a couple of weeks.
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: Sure, sure, they must be the same thing a little bit.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: I mean I know exactly where they are and exactly
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: how they're feeling in their anxieties and how they're scared.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Well, I have them on Find my Friends too. You
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: have the dead bodies on Find your Friends? Well, yeah,
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: but it's easy to fight them.
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: Do they have a move on my friends?
• 37:59
  Speaker 6: Sometimes sometimes I see them move. I did.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to say anything, but sometimes they move
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: and I go, what is happening? What?
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: Wait a second?
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: Like the other night I was looking for Belle, who
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: is one of my favorites, and she was out and
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: I just wanted to make sure she was safe. And
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: then I look at that graveyard. I go, what the
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: heck is going on here? And some of the two
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: contestants that died, we're moving around, and I was very confused.
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: Where did they go?
• 38:25
  Speaker 8: Were they moving together?
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: It felt like they both moved separately and then in
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: a line, and they were drawing symbols in on front
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: of my friends they were seeing. It felt like they
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: were drawing symbols with their bodies, like their motions were
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: very direct and very moving, and it felt like there
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: was They were walking in circles, almost like a conga.
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: Moti day Wiji boat conga.
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: It's so crazy.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Well, Bell is up for mayor. I wonder if she'll
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: be able.
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: I hope Belle live mayor. Oh.
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: Speaking of Belle winning mayor, we have to talk about
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: the finale. We do each each contestant, we trap in
• 38:57

  Speaker 10: M hm.
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: In a way that's funny, Well, it's it's it's kind
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: of like, uh, it's it's uh, what do you call
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: it's meta as the kids saying yeah, where it's.
• 41:37
  Speaker 8: Singing about problematic songs.
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: Right reference bloodlines, what does it reference Blodeline, Yes, it's.
• 41:45
  Speaker 8: Literally almost the same song.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: I wanted to thank you, Robin for including me to
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: to try to write that song. I know we worked
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: together for the first six months on it.
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: I mean I was gonna bring it up you were,
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: because I was wondering if you were, because I because
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: Yogurt wrote Rober Yogurt wrote, but Yogurt wrote the best,
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: most beautiful.
• 42:09
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, it was so ablest.
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you wrote Jesus just ablest soul.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: I thought it was really really problematic, and I guess,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: I guess, I guess. Robin said it wasn't problematic enough,
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: so he moved on.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: Well, you tried a few different things, rightophobia.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: I tried senophobia, I tried a yeah, and ages.
• 42:32
  Speaker 8: I asked for misophobia.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, misophonia, which is chewing into the microphone, but
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: they weren't lyrics for that, and and then.
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: We just kind of moved on from me, which was sad.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: But I also think that you know, some of my
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: problems were some of my problems were a little more
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: esoteric and harder to understand, and you liked.
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: Okay, I want to go on record right now. I
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: think you're one of the most genius monds. And I
• 42:59
  Speaker 5: don't think netflix and sing some singing something would be
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: half of what it is today without you.
• 43:04
  Speaker 6: No, you were such a good child, and I want.
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: You to know I do think you are the voice
• 43:10
  Speaker 5: of a generation. You should just because you aren't the
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: voice of the problematic new Robin Thick song doesn't mean
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: you're not your own voice.
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: And I the voice of so many problematic songs in
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: the future.
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: And I think you should sing either the track you
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: wrote me or track you wrote yourself.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'll sing a little bit of my song.
• 43:28

• 44:57
  Speaker 1: have to check it out. You can get it an
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: HD as well as standard death.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: This is the first time Netflix is allowing shows to
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: be standard and just to go over the show, they told.
• 45:10
  Speaker 8: Us it was simply to stimulated d.

  Speaker 4: If you you know, if.
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: You're sensitive to a lot of HD stimulus all the
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: because you worked on the mask singer and there's.
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: A lot of stimulus on the mask.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: They wouldn't let.
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: Us shoot it in four K. It was too overwhelmed.
• 45:29
  Speaker 8: It was too.

  Speaker 4: Much because we haven't even gotten into the.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: Cost It keeps people verse, It gave people sun verse.
• 45:36
  Speaker 6: Yes, yes, we have not gotten into the costumes.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: Every week two contestants are put in a costume to
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: see if it helps or hurts their performance.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: And they're the exact same costumes from the mass singer.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: And I want to thank you Robin for letting.

  Speaker 6: If you were worried about your gluten floating.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: So just to go over the rules of the show again,
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: just so everyone's clear, because we got in a lot
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: of feedback that it's a little confusing.
• 45:59
  Speaker 6: I don't get it. So how it works is we've
• 46:03
  Speaker 6: been following the same contestants.
• 46:04
  Speaker 8: I find that I understand and if you go fast.
• 46:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, okay.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: So ten years ago, ten years ago, we each shows
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: fifteen contestants to compete on our wall. Those fifteen contests
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: were made up of seven people that were performers and
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: eight people that were singers. The singers stand behind the
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: wall and the performers stand in front, lifting into the
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: singer is back. Then, over ten years we have trained
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: them and put them together to make the perfect teams.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: Every week, we've been eliminating them via AI to see
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: what would happen if we eliminated them. After eliminating them
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: via AI, we were able to see what a COVID
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: world would look like without COVID. A couple of the
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: singers have died, a couple of them have disappeared, but
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: that's fine. There's moving graves. There's also a big big
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: thing coming up. And every week you're gonna be voting
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: for two things, one what happens this week and two
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: what happened seven years ago? And every week we're gonna
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: go one year closer to the finale until we finally
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: have the winner, the mayor, the one with the keys,
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: the steeler, the angel.
• 46:57
  Speaker 6: So is it in a nutshell?
• 47:01
  Speaker 8: Don't forget Kiso.
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: I have not forgot the Kiosol finale. You guys have
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: to turn into the Kiosol Finale where we will be
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: filling up a pool and they will have to be
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: singing for their souls. The winner will be pronounced dead,
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: I think, and they all win different prizes.
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: They will be pronounced dead. It's not like that we're
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: killing them. It's like we're putting them out of the
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: visit right.
• 47:24
  Speaker 6: And they will be featured. They get a bunch of prizes.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: They get the Kia Soul, they get a lip of
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: liptship photoship photo, they get a shoot, they get a
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: song on Robertick's new problematic song coming out that's going
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: to be announced at the finale.
• 47:38
  Speaker 8: You get a song on my song.
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: And I just have to say one thing because at
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: the very beginning.
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: You said there are seven performers and eight singers. I
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: know what you're thinking. What's that one man left out?
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: He is the devil.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: We have to get it.
• 47:53
  Speaker 8: We didn't get into.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: The devil talking about the devil. He's gonna be mad
• 47:57
