  Welcome to the Pop Culture Junkie Podcast. My name is Shauna and I am joined as usual by my fellow Junkies.
• 0:35
  Nicole and Olivia.
• 0:38
  Alright Junkies. How's it going? How's it hanging? How's life?
• 0:44
  We're here.
• 0:46
  Oh no! Blank stares from across the room.
• 0:51
  Nicole's about to jump.
• 0:53
  Nicole's about to jump y'all. That's so funny. No! No! No! No!
• 0:58
  I think I'm about to probably be the most annoying person ever on the Earth.
• 1:02
  Yeah you are.
• 1:03
  The most annoying I've ever been on this episode, but I am amazing.
• 1:07
  I last minute pulled the trigger to go see Taylor Swift and then a turn of events.
• 1:13
  Yes, for the second time.
• 1:15
  And in the most beautiful turn of events, I got my tickets for free.
• 1:19
  I got my fight for free and the battle tell. So whenever I went into it, I did not know that was going to be the case.
• 1:27
  And so I want to hear all about this.
• 1:32
  Right, it pays to have a great boss and a great job y'all.
• 1:35
  Yeah, so my Anna Swift boss at that.
• 1:38
  Thanks.
• 1:39
  I went into it and gave her my range of what I was willing to pay.
• 1:44
  And she was like, "Yeah, I just asked that."
• 1:45
  So I wouldn't go absolutely insane on the ticket price, but we're going to treat you.
• 1:51
  My four year anniversary with my company was like a week ago.
• 1:56
  And so that was really, really cool.
• 1:59
  And then from there, we didn't realize the tickets that we bought were sweet tickets.
• 2:04
  And so far, they were so sweet tickets.
• 2:07
  Yeah, so we had a private bathroom and a waiter.
• 2:12
  So it was just like all around amazing and a great time.
• 2:17
  So it was so cool.
• 2:20
  And then last night, I rewatched a concert that I completely had just seen two days prior on my phone.
• 2:31
  That kills me.
• 2:32
  It kills me too that you record.
• 2:34
  Wait, did you record the entire thing on your phone where you one of those people or did you watch someone else's recording?
• 2:38
  Absolutely.
• 2:39
  Okay, okay.
• 2:40
  Thank God.
• 2:41
  See where I'm going to make sure.
• 2:43
  I am saying to my heart's content, probably annoying people around me as well.
• 2:50
  Maybe not their heart's content, but to mine.
• 2:53
  And literally it was, so I guess we'll talk about it a little bit, but Carly Claus.
• 3:00
  And if you're a gayler or a gayler fan, you know exactly what that means.
• 3:05
  Get us the tea.
• 3:06
  Well, the biggest rumor of the night was she was going to announce 1989.
• 3:11
  And she did.
• 3:13
  And this is like the first time in the Swift talk universe that they've ever actually accurately
• 3:19
  predicted something.
• 3:20
  And so really the first time you guys are bad at this.
• 3:26
  They've gotten like little things.
• 3:27
  No, they're insane.
• 3:28
  Like it's crazy.
• 3:30
  Like I've watched TikTok and I'm like, y'all are on some stuff.
• 3:33
  Like maybe see, can I have some?
• 3:36
  Seek psychiatric help or something.
• 3:38
  But they're like doing like adding numbers together in ways and all that stuff.
• 3:44
  They did get this one right.
• 3:45
  But then so everyone's like waiting for this concert and then all of a sudden Carly Claus
• 3:51
  shows up.
• 3:53
  And both groups of people, the ones who think she's like bisexual or lesbian and the headlers
• 3:59
  as we like to call them.
• 4:03
  We're like, okay, what is going on?
• 4:05
  Like either you believe that Carly betrayed Taylor and like showed up to steal her thunder
• 4:13
  or she's pulling a James and she's showing up at her party and asking him to kiss her in
• 4:21
  front of all her stupid friends.
• 4:23
  Okay.
• 4:25
  So you said that Carly showed up and that she was just in like gin pop, right?
• 4:32
  Like she was in the crowd.
• 4:33
  She was in a private suite.
• 4:35
  She wanted people to see her there.
• 4:36
  She wanted people to know she was there and she wanted Taylor to know she was there.
• 4:41
  So there's something going on there.
• 4:44
  I don't know if I don't think they're getting back together because Carly's still married
• 4:48
  to that fucking Kushner guy.
• 4:50
  Unfortunately.
• 4:51
  Josh Kushner.
• 4:52
  Yeah.
• 4:53
  How does she go from being a bisexual icon with Taylor Swift to being married to a Kushner
• 4:59
  is very unfortunate?
• 5:02
  I would agree.
• 5:03
  I would agree.
• 5:04
  The other person that was there is Josh's best friend who's like an oil air who in the
• 5:10
  crazy K-Lare world people think is like his lover.
• 5:15
  I love how everybody has a gay lover in this universe.
• 5:20
  It's nuts.
• 5:21
  It's absolutely nuts.
• 5:22
  It is a soap opera.
• 5:24
  Everybody has a gay secret lover and there's a lot of math that seems to be involved in
• 5:30
  numbers in the Taylor Swift universe which I'm not here for.
• 5:34
  But gay secret lovers, I'm about that all day.
• 5:37
  Yes.
• 5:38
  Same.
• 5:39
  Same.
• 5:40
  So good.
• 5:41
  Absolutely.
• 5:42
  Okay.
• 5:43
  So that's a lot of good gala/taylor Carly Claw gossip.
• 5:46
  There is so much gossip going on in the celebrity world right now and I have just been like foaming
• 5:52
  at the mouth wanting to talk to you guys about this.
• 5:55
  So I want to talk Lizzo with you guys because this shit came out of nowhere and I know that
• 6:02
  it's been blowing people's minds.
• 6:04
  So Lizzo has always been known as a body positive feminist icon.
• 6:11
  I mean when fans call her out for problematic lyrics like one of her songs last year, she
• 6:17
  very quickly changed the lyric.
• 6:19
  She's always kind of been known as a very progressive artist.
• 6:23
  Somebody who...
• 6:24
  I mean everybody fucking loves Lizzo, right?
• 6:26
  I don't think I've met anybody unless they're problematic dude who's not like a Lizzo song.
• 6:32
  Or racist.
• 6:35
  Or racist, right?
• 6:37
  Problematic misogynistic racists.
• 6:40
  However, recently Lizzo was sued by three of her former dancers for sexual harassment
• 6:49
  and creating a hostile work environment.
• 6:52
  These allegations are bananas you guys.
• 7:02
  So apparently a night out in the town in Amsterdam during one of Lizzo's concerts went down with
• 7:09
  her and her backup dancers which she has acknowledged they all go out and party together.
• 7:15
  But the backup dancers are saying that they were put in sexual situations that they didn't
• 7:20
  consent to.
• 7:22
  They stated that they were like forced or encouraged by Lizzo to eat bananas out of sex workers
• 7:29
  vaginas.
• 7:31
  And they also said that Lizzo body shamed them and demanded that they lose weight which
• 7:38
  goes against her entire brand of body positivity and you know plus size positivity.
• 7:45
  But really her brand or her backup dancers were called like big girls and her show on what
• 7:52
  was the Amazon was called let's hear it for the big girls or something like that.
• 7:56
  Like this is her whole brand has this just been fake the entire time.
• 8:01
  I want to hear what you guys think about this.
• 8:03
  Yeah I don't know I feel like I don't know if she's just putting on a front to like get
• 8:09
  her publicity and then she made it big and now she's just you know she's like okay I have
• 8:14
  my money I don't care but now the her backup dancers are coming out which good for them if
• 8:20
  this is true which I am not saying it's not because I always stand with victims.
• 8:27
  This is absolutely absurd because yeah she is all for body positivity.
• 8:31
  She is obviously not your typical perfect body obviously we all know Lizzo and her body
• 8:37
  sheep and everything and she is always one that is like love your body love who you are
• 8:42
  and then now she's calling out her team for not having the perfect body that she wants
• 8:47
  and it's just so absurd and I will say though the means and TikToks that are coming out
• 8:53
  are quite funny but I know oh my gosh there is something else that I want to talk about
• 8:58
  with this topic that I'll come back to once Olivia tells her side but it was crazy too
• 9:04
  like I think there's going to be another lawsuit coming against her as well.
• 9:07
  Oh dang okay okay what do you think about all of us?
• 9:11
  Yeah so when I first heard it's very visceral you're like wait what and yeah like Lizzo of
• 9:18
  all people yeah it's very paradigm shifting where you're like well that's not that that
• 9:24
  person that I thought it was and how could she do that you know like for everything that
• 9:28
  we know about her and a lot of the TikToks that I've come across are lawyers actually like
• 9:36
  going through this lawsuit and like the early early things that were released and what's
• 9:42
  been pretty crazy is first off if you are an employer and you're taking your employees
• 9:49
  to a sex club like you're an idiot yeah dude that is so against US like American employment
• 9:58
  lies just like common sense would say that and so I get you want to be friends with your
• 10:05
  backup dancers and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that right there's nothing wrong
• 10:09
  in a place exactly and there is a line between okay we're going to go out and get dinner
• 10:17
  or we're going to maybe get some cocktails and then when it starts to get into we're going
• 10:22
  to go to a strip club we're going to go to a full on sex bar and like the red light district
• 10:27
  of Amsterdam that's when it's like okay maybe at this point if you guys want to go as
• 10:33
  the employer go ahead and go you're off the clock and I'm going to go back to my hotel room
• 10:39
  you know like what you guys do off the clock is up to you but I'm your boss and I'm not
• 10:43
  going to involve myself in this it's just yeah that's pretty good project right exactly however
• 10:51
  a lot of what I've seen are people upset about the fat phobia stuff yeah that's why I was like I want
• 10:56
  you to go before me because it is upsetting but what's actually written in the lawsuit is very very
• 11:02
  different and so this person was asked are you okay and this was after they were diagnosed with some
• 11:13
  sort of binge eating disorder and so obviously when you're going through that there's a lot going
• 11:18
  on you're probably depressed yeah a lot of anxiety and so she internalized body shame yes and so she
• 11:25
  took Lizzo asking about it as them implying that they noticed that she had gained weight
• 11:31
  uh so the other stuff is a canine and you should never do that and that's that's a real problem
• 11:38
  but I think when when it looks at that and look this lawyer who is the one who made the initial
• 11:44
  statement so I he does not get paid until there's a settlement or they win yeah right so how do you
• 11:51
  actually get them to settle a bunch of bad press Lizzo just wants it to go away and like I think
• 11:57
  them putting the fat shaming stuff was to rile up a bunch of people who are already fat phobic and
• 12:06
  maybe have a little internalized stuff not saying like you guys were but like a lot of the people who
• 12:12
  were like I always knew she was a terrible person exactly this is giving people who already didn't
• 12:19
  like her a reason to be like do you see I was right all along and that's not it at all and also we
• 12:26
  can criticize Lizzo and you know if these allegations are true that's disgusting and I absolutely hope
• 12:33
  that these dancers get the justice for it and we can criticize Lizzo without criticizing her body
• 12:40
  the way she looks the body positivity movement in general because I've seen a lot of trolls doing
• 12:45
  that online uh and I feel like it's it's gonna be easier maybe to prove that the banana sex club
• 12:55
  stuff happened then it is to just kind of this weird did you get body shamed because that could be like
• 13:02
  a oh you misunderstood what I was saying that's not what I meant you know a little verbal misunderstanding
• 13:09
  okay how far is that gonna go in court but like yeah putting somebody in a sexual situation
• 13:15
  against their consent or their will especially employer that's not gonna fly yeah and I
• 13:21
  also be remiss to like not say like this is bifar know where near the worst stuff that is happening
• 13:28
  in Hollywood from people's employers at all and so the the concentration on a bigger black woman
• 13:39
  like doing these things it's like to her and you know you can only make so many statements when
• 13:44
  you're in an act of lawsuit like you can't apologize it's a mission yeah it it is probably like
• 13:53
  I'm not doing anything no one else is doing around me and near me and so I think it's it's complicated
• 14:01
  but I mean like it's pretty logical to not do that with an employer and so yeah what's like
• 14:08
  what were you gonna say Nicole about like the other lawsuit that you saw was going down
• 14:14
  yeah so it's not actually happening but I feel like it could potentially become one
• 14:19
  I was on TikTok the other day and there was a girl who was who auditioned if that's like the right word out
• 14:25
  no girls auditioned for her show that you were talking about and she got the part and she had to go
• 14:31
  through all the the whole contract situation and she was reading through the contract and she herself
• 14:36
  was like an independent artist and I believe like she would have to give up her rights to like her
• 14:41
  self to the Zoes team and like everything like that and she just wasn't willing to do that and she has
• 14:48
  lawyers in her family and she had the lawyers in her family read the contract and they were like yeah
• 14:52
  don't do that because once you sign it like they have the rights to you for basically your life
• 14:57
  like forever yeah and she's okay yeah not gonna do that so once she applied for this position
• 15:05
  she had to send over pieces of her work as examples and two examples that she sent over were two of
• 15:11
  her music videos and after she declined to move forward with the position Lizzo put out a music
• 15:19
  video and one of the music videos was identical to this girl's music video it was Lizzo in a classroom
• 15:26
  then the classroom turned into like a disco party and then the other one was Lizzo on stage performing
• 15:33
  and then on Lizzo was like figure of a woman like on her body like a silhouette yeah like a
• 15:38
  silhouette of a woman's body yeah like and that was the girl's music video like of herself like
• 15:44
  loving not literally loving herself but like just admiring her body and who she is as a person
• 15:50
  so these are music videos that this woman made of not ones that she was cast in from another artist
• 15:56
  oh her own music yeah her music video that of her song and she sent over those two specific music
• 16:03
  videos as examples to Lizzo's team and then all of a sudden Lizzo when she declined to move forward
• 16:11
  with the role Lizzo put out those two things yeah but the music video is literally identical to
• 16:18
  this girl's music video like the classroom into the disco parties absolutely identical I'm gonna
• 16:23
  have to look that up to yeah that's gonna have to be another lawsuit right oh my gosh we'll have to
• 16:29
  find the tick-tucker I watched that as well I liked it so it's definitely in my likes yeah I'll have to
• 16:36
  go back yes I'm gonna have to go watch that Lizzo for her part did release a statement I won't read
• 16:41
  the whole thing but she said these last few days have been gut-wrenchingly difficult and
• 16:45
  overwhelmingly disappointing my work ethic morals and respectfulness have been questioned my
• 16:50
  characters been criticized these sensationalized stories are coming from former employees who have
• 16:55
  already publicly admitted that they were told their behavior onto or was inappropriate and unprofessional
• 17:01
  as an artist I'm always passionate about what I do with passion comes hard work and high standards
• 17:07
  sometimes I have to make hard decisions but it's never my intention to make anyone uncomfortable
• 17:11
  yeah I'm not here to look like a victim but I also know that I'm not the villain that people in
• 17:18
  the media have portrayed me to be these last few days so it will be interesting to see where it goes
• 17:26
  from there one thing one thing that I forgot to mention as well that was a big part of the lawsuit
• 17:32
  um just for people who are looking at it a lot of it is against this dance captain who is mega
• 17:40
  religious and like it's like it's kind of like all around breaking employment law and so the first
• 17:47
  one we talked about was common sense the second one is a leader or a person in leadership on the team
• 17:54
  for religious pressuring and also like inappropriate sexual conversations yeah and then inappropriate
• 18:00
  like sexual conversations to the point where the the team knew her like deepest sexual fantasies so
• 18:08
  you know no pun intended yeah yeah right maybe it maybe it was that I don't remember exactly what it
• 18:16
  was but just as you know putting this out there to anybody who's listening who might be a boss or
• 18:22
  have employees don't take your employees to sex clubs unless you're a sex worker and that's part of
• 18:28
  your job and then by all means have fun don't force people to pray and I guess don't talk about people's
• 18:36
  bodies it's just this is all common sense but yeah we'll keep everybody updated yeah I do also
• 18:44
  want to talk about some celebrity relationship drama that's been going down there's been some divorces
• 18:49
  just kind of in the air I know yeah Sophia Vergara I sorry if I'm butchering her last name
• 18:59
  I don't want to imagine little little,
• 19:01
  -MNgeoneeoh.
• 19:02
  -MNgeoneele.
• 19:03
  -It's over the NBC.
• 19:04
  -MNgeoneelegm, you know.
• 19:06
  - dieser = Charley Butler yeah.
• 19:08
  -Shamilla,лон zamala,lon.
• 19:09
  -I know they were so cute to get there.
• 19:11
  -They got a divorce.
• 19:14
  -My division class
• 19:15
  was like, "I can get 'em now."
• 19:17
  Right.
• 19:19
  -Oh, look at the senior sympers.
• 19:22
  -He's so hot.
• 19:23
  Yeah, they're both so hot.
• 19:25
  .
• 19:25
  Actually, I don't know.
• 19:27
  I feel like men are an easier catch
• 19:29
  because they're like, you know.
• 19:31
  -You seem one dick.
• 19:32
  You seem them all.
• 19:34
  -Well, no.
• 19:34
  Just sometimes they really think
• 19:36
  with their dicks.
• 19:37
  And, you know, I think Sophie of Agar
• 19:39
  is like, out of my league, for sure.
• 19:42
  I mean, he is too.
• 19:43
  Let's be honest.
• 19:43
  But like, he feels closer.
• 19:46
  -These are very attractive people.
• 19:48
  And I would mind seeing them both naked with their consent.
• 19:53
  And I hope they find happiness in the future.
• 19:56
  You could watch Magic Mike and really get, imagine it.
• 20:00
  -I have never seen any of those movies.
• 20:04
  I know.
• 20:05
  I know.
• 20:05

• 20:22
  -And drink the hot sauce night.
• 20:24
  -I do the hot sauce night and drink the rocks to Keela.
• 20:28
  -But that might cause such a weird feeling to be like,
• 20:31
  all horned up, eat all that hot sauce and then also drunk.
• 20:35
  [laughter]
• 20:37
  -So it's going to be our chaser.

  -To kill hot sauce.
• 21:43
  -Anyway, if you know one thing about me, it's that I will throw up.
• 21:48
  -Doesn't take much, but I will throw up.
• 21:50
  -Okay, but if there's another thing I know about you, it's that you'll do it and then you'll
• 21:56
  throw up.
• 21:57
  -Yeah, but I'm trying to do it.
• 21:58
  -So you're still gonna do it.
• 21:59
  -I'm trying to do it.
• 22:00
  -You're still gonna do it.
• 22:01
  -You're still gonna do it.
• 22:02
  -You're still gonna do it.
• 22:03
  -You're gonna do it in your living room and it's gonna happen and then you're gonna
• 22:09
  throw up and then Nicole's gonna have to pick us up off the floor.
• 22:12
  -Yeah.
• 22:13
  -Because we're just horny and full of tequila hot sauce.
• 22:17
  -The first set of throw, I'm gone.
• 22:22
  -No.
• 22:23
  -Fuck this shit up.
• 22:24
  -Yeah.
• 22:25
  -Fuck this shit up.
• 22:26
  -I don't blame you.
• 22:27
  -I don't blame you.
• 22:28
  -Okay, speaking of fuck this shit I'm out and then just dipping on a Grande left or husband.
• 22:37
  -Do you like my transition there?
• 22:40
  -Yeah.
• 22:41
  -And then also left her boyfriend after it came out.
• 22:44
  It's very interesting.
• 22:45
  -Did she believe Ethan Slater?
• 22:49
  -I thought I heard him some time to cope with it.
• 22:52
  -Oh my God.
• 22:53
  -And it's like, baby, that time it already came and passed.
• 22:58
  -Because she realized he looked like her brother.
• 23:00
  -Right, you look smart.
• 23:01
  -Okay.
• 23:02
  So real quick, we want to spend too much time on this.
• 23:04
  Ariana Grande and her husband Dalton announced that they were getting a divorce.
• 23:09
  And then like three days later it was kind of revealed that Ariana has been dating this guy
• 23:16
  Ethan Slater, aka SpongeBob SquarePants on Broadway.
• 23:21
  And if anybody's never seen a picture of Ethan Slater, close your eyes and imagine what SpongeBob
• 23:27
  SquarePants in human form would look like and that's what this dude looks like.
• 23:31
  -No, he's uglier than that.
• 23:33
  He's uglier than that.
• 23:35
  I was trying to be nice.
• 23:36
  I was trying to be nice.
• 23:37
  -Yeah.
• 23:38
  -I don't know why you would do that.
• 23:40
  -I know.
• 23:41
  -I know.
• 23:42
  -Grey's?
• 23:43
  -No, we are not giving these cheating ass men.
• 23:46
  -Right, okay.
• 23:47
  -Someone.
• 23:48
  -And so Ethan Slater, the boyfriend guy, is her co-star on the new Wicked movie that she's filming.
• 23:55
  He is married and his wife just had a baby within the last year.
• 24:00
  So everyone behind the scenes is saying that Ariana and Ethan have been doing it for a while
• 24:06
  and that they were real sloppy on set and not trying their hardest to hide that they were having a whole ass affair.
• 24:12
  And Ariana and Dalton double dated with Ethan and his ex-wife Lily.
• 24:19
  So all four of them fucking hung out together.
• 24:21
  Well those two were begging.
• 24:23
  Disgusting.
• 24:25
  -Yeah.
• 24:26
  The newborn thing is like, okay, your wife probably wasn't even fully recovered from that.
• 24:32
  -Yeah.
• 24:33
  -And that baby and you just putting it elsewhere.
• 24:38
  I mean, if Ariana Grande looks at you and wants to sleep with you, you're like, okay.
• 24:44
  I'm gonna do it.
• 24:46
  -I had this conversation with my husband and I was like, you have to swear to me right fucking now that if Ariana Grande ever wants to have sex with you, you will not do it.
• 24:54
  -What if he's like, "Ugh."
• 24:57
  -What if he like pulled the whole past system earlier?
• 25:01
  -Do you guys have a whole past?
• 25:03
  -Absolutely.
• 25:04
  But like, Ariana never --
• 25:06
  -Rahul Kohli.
• 25:08
  -100%.
• 25:10
  -Oh, look at that.
• 25:12
  -I feel like you cut out.
• 25:14
  -Rahul Kohli.
• 25:15
  -Rahul Kohli, God damn it.
• 25:17
  He's from Haunting of Hill House, Haunting of Blime Manor, the new show, The Fall of the House of Usher Eyes.
• 25:24
  -Sombie.
• 25:26
  -You obviously didn't hear our episode then, Olivia.
• 25:29
  -Yeah.
• 25:31
  -Oh my God.
• 25:32
  -Oh, my God.
• 25:33
  -He didn't make him sound hot enough for me to look hot.
• 25:35
  -He basically looks like my husband.
• 25:37
  -Oh.
• 25:39
  -Okay.
• 25:40
  -Oh, so that means he's hot enough, right?
• 25:41
  -She's right there, good.
• 25:43
  -Thanks.
• 25:44
  -I do.
• 25:45
  -And Lady Gaga.
• 25:46
  -Okay.
• 25:47
  -Yeah, I would -- yeah, Gaga and Rahul Kohli.
• 25:49
  But his have always been Jessica Chastain and Selena Gomez.
• 25:53
  So, I know that I'm safe from Ariana Grande's sexual alert.
• 25:58
  -Sexual alert from my man.
• 26:00
  -Yeah.
• 26:02
  -Yeah, I wouldn't peg him as a Jessica Chastain.
• 26:06
  -You would peg him?
• 26:08
  -Oh, sorry.
• 26:09
  -I mean, he's your husband.
• 26:10
  He's your husband.
• 26:11
  Can't do that.
• 26:12
  Can't do that.
• 26:13
  -Can't peg Sean's husband.
• 26:15
  -Yeah, you know, I'm not Ariana Grande.
• 26:19
  -I'm not Ariana Grande, but --
• 26:23
  -Yeah.
• 26:24
  -All right, so pay for our new new Patreon tier.
• 26:28
  -Alivial.
• 26:29
  -Thank you.
• 26:30
  [laughter]
• 26:36
  -It's so good.
• 26:37
  -I don't know.
• 26:38
  -What do you think about all this celebrity divorce in Ariana Grande, et cetera, Nicole?
• 26:43
  How do you feel about love being lost in the celeb world?
• 26:48
  -Oh, sorts of messed up.
• 26:51
  -Actually forgot she was even married.
• 26:54
  -Right.
• 26:55
  -And then this came out and I was like, "Holy crap."
• 26:57
  And then I seen a picture of him and I'm like, "Holy crap, he's ugly."
• 26:59
  And I'm like, "Holy crap, it looks like her brother with the red hair."
• 27:03
  -Yes, he looks just like Frankie.
• 27:05
  -Yeah, it just keeps getting worse and worse for this poor girl.
• 27:07
  And I'm like, "Girl, you are a drop dead gorgeous and you could do 10 times better."
• 27:11
  But now I'm like, "Who wants you after this whole mess?"
• 27:14
  -I mean, a lot of guys will, but --
• 27:16
  -Yeah, yeah.
• 27:17
  -She just doesn't seem like a good person.
• 27:19
  -I'm gonna do what the good person does.
• 27:20
  -Exactly.
• 27:21
  -She doesn't seem like a good person.
• 27:23
  I remember being weirdly uncomfortable when she licked the doughnut years ago.
• 27:27
  Do you guys remember that?
• 27:29
  And it was so silly and innocuous, but at the same time, it always just kind of spoke to me.
• 27:34
  She thinks she's better than everyone else.
• 27:36
  She disrespected this small local business.
• 27:39
  I don't know.
• 27:40
  I'm a celebrity.
• 27:41
  "Haha, I'm so funny."
• 27:43
  -Yeah.
• 27:44
  -That just seemed gross to me.
• 27:46
  -Yeah. And she made them bring out more so she could lick more.
• 27:50
  It was weird.
• 27:51
  It wasn't like one.
• 27:52
  -Yeah.
• 27:53
  I don't know.
• 27:55
  I guess she was young and dumb, but she --
• 27:59
  -Yeah.
• 28:00
  -I don't know.
• 28:01
  Lily J.
• 28:02
  Ethan Slater's estranged wife put out a statement and was like, "I just want to focus on raising
• 28:07
  my kid and getting on with my life."
• 28:10
  She's like, "Focus on Ariana.
• 28:11
  Focus on that because it's all her."
• 28:13
  And I'm just focusing on my life and she said, "Aryana is not a girl's girl," which I can be absolutely saying.
• 28:20
  -Yeah.
• 28:21
  And I remember reading Jeanette McCarty's book, "I'm glad my mom died."
• 28:24
  And she was just talking so much crap about Ariana Grande saying that she would never come into production
• 28:29
  of Sam and Kat in that Jeanette McCarty was always on set and she would have to do like,
• 28:33
  double the work because she wasn't there.
• 28:35
  But Ariana Grande was still being portrayed as like the best person ever because of everything she's done on her.
• 28:39
  -First star status.
• 28:40
  -Yeah, first star status.
• 28:41
  -First star status.
• 28:42
  -Yeah, first star status.
• 28:43
  -Because she was going on tour and everything and had to do concerts.
• 28:45
  But Jeanette McCarty was still working her butt off to put on this show but was not getting the recognition for it.
• 28:51
  -There's a whole last episode of I Carly where Ariana Grande acts, she's in a box the whole episode
• 28:57
  because she could come to tour and say, "Oh shit, you're right."
• 29:01
  -I don't know.
• 29:02
  -Lizzie McGuire.
• 29:04
  -One of the shows.
• 29:05
  -One of those.
• 29:06
  -It was on the TV Street.
• 29:08
  -Sensime Street.
• 29:10
  -No, yeah.
• 29:12
  -She said about the box.
• 29:14
  -Yeah, I think there's also something going on with her.
• 29:20
  Obviously, if you're Dan Schneider's favorite girl, that's going to mess you up.
• 29:26
  And if you're famous that young, I think it's like a deep sense of seeing a healthy relationship and love
• 29:34
  and being like, "Oh, well, I could have that if I could just have them."
• 29:38
  And that's so, so toxic.
• 29:40
  -Yeah.
• 29:41
  -Very, very wrong.
• 29:42
  I mean, I think I just look at her and I'm like, like, you can see the body just more via the not wanting to be herself.
• 29:51
  -Trying so hard to fit some image that she has in her head of what she, I don't know.
• 29:57
  It's, yeah, it's all very sad.
• 29:59
  -Yeah, and so I think the not a girl's girl is a really easy verbiage to just hate women now.
• 30:07
  -Yeah, I know.
• 30:08
  And I hate that.
• 30:09
  But I feel what she was saying.
• 30:11
  Like, this woman, oh, yes, everything she said about it.
• 30:14
  -Sleeping with my husband, like, I get why she would say that.
• 30:18
  And, you know, I hate being the pick me ass bitch.
• 30:21
  I'm not like other girls.
• 30:22
  -She's not a girl's girl.
• 30:24
  -Mmm.
• 30:25
  -That shit's dumb.
• 30:26
  -Yeah.
• 30:27
  -No, I would, I would raise hell.
• 30:30
  -Yeah, I would raise absolute hell.
• 30:33
  And it's like, come on, girl, but yeah, I think there's definitely something going on with her.
• 30:38
  Like, she's so scary skinny and I'm like, I think she's amaciatingly skinny.
• 30:45
  And I, you know, I'm not going to body shame her either.
• 30:47
  Like, if that's what she looks like, then, you know, what, I don't know.
• 30:51
  But it just, the, it's drasticness of how it happened.
• 30:54
  It's just like, my god, girl.
• 30:57
  -Even the plastic surgery, like, she's like changing her face every three years.
• 31:01
  Like, it's scary.
• 31:02
  Yeah, there's something going on.
• 31:04
  So, even though she messed up, I don't want it to be like the public bludgeoning of everything.
• 31:10
  -Oh, yeah.
• 31:11
  -I hope she gets the help that she needs.
• 31:14
  -And, you know, shame on Ethan Slater for cheating on his wife.
• 31:17
  Let's focus more on that.
• 31:19
  This dude cheated on his fucking wife who just had his baby.
• 31:23
  And, like, he's nothing to write home about.
• 31:26
  [Music]
• 31:31
  This whole episode I just realized has been focused on musicians and music.
• 31:36
  So, now that we've talked about problematic shit, let's talk about some actual cool artists.
• 31:42
  So, we did this in the Pre-Olivia days and put a whole episode out about different artists,
• 31:51
  like, up and coming or under the radar that we wanted you guys to pay attention to.
• 31:55
  And, friend of the podcast, Ms. Whitney Peyton came on the show.
• 31:59
  She's incredible.
• 32:01
  Still listening to her on Spotify, Pandora, Shoutout, Arizona artists.
• 32:06
  But, let's do a part two.
• 32:08
  Now, that Olivia's here.
• 32:10
  And, let's go around and just quickly shout out five artists each that you guys have been listening to
• 32:16
  or that you think should get some more recognition.
• 32:19
  And Nicole, why don't you start us up, baby girl.
• 32:22
  Oh, brat.
• 32:24
  One of my artists that I would like to shout out is Aston, it's A-S-T-O-N.
• 32:31
  And, she's an Australian singer/songwriter.
• 32:34
  I discovered her on TikTok.
• 32:37
  Love it.
• 32:38
  And, yeah, I know.
• 32:39
  That's basically where I discovered everything nowadays.
• 32:43
  And, she wrote songs for artists including Ricky Lee, Kazmo's Midnight, and Jordy Iyerland.
• 32:51
  Last year, she launched her Aston project with debut single Girl Is a Gun.
• 32:57
  My favorite song by her is Mama Didn't Raise No.
• 33:01
  Super Good.
• 33:02
  She basically talks about that, like, you don't need a man.
• 33:04
  You are a fine woman.
• 33:06
  Just by yourself.
• 33:07
  What genre is she?
• 33:09
  She is probably like a pop kind of, and I believe her latest single is Girl Is a Gun.
• 33:15
  I had kind of a hard time finding what her latest single was.
• 33:18
  But...
• 33:19
  Girl is a gun sounds like a cool song.
• 33:21
  I like the title already.
• 33:23
  But, yeah, she has a cool, cool vibe.
• 33:25
  I am obsessed with her.
• 33:27
  So, I would definitely check her out, especially from Australia.
• 33:30
  Love that.
• 33:31
  From Australia, just super cool.
• 33:33
  I'm different.
• 33:34
  I'm different.
• 33:35
  Except for that guy, I dated from Australia.
• 33:37
  He was cool at the time, I guess.
• 33:40
  He had a nice accent.
• 33:41
  Yeah.
• 33:42
  That's how they always getcha.
• 33:44
  Oh my God.
• 33:45
  He absolutely got me with the accent, and then he was boring, so we broke up.
• 33:49
  But then I was like, snooping him on Facebook, like, a couple of months ago.
• 33:52
  I wonder what happened to him?
• 33:54
  And he is like, weirdly white supremacistie now.
• 33:58
  Oh.
• 33:59
  Oh.
• 34:00
  Dodge the bullet.
• 34:01
  Oh my God.
• 34:02
  Not took a turn.
• 34:03
  It did take a turn.
• 34:04
  Yeah.
• 34:05
  I know.
• 34:06
  I should also mention, as we keep going with our artists, we are going to put together a playlist that's going to be available on Spotify of different songs from all of these artists, kind of like the pop culture junkie.
• 34:18
  Fall, music, preview, shit you should listen to.
• 34:21
  We'll think of a better title than that, but we'll keep you all posted.
• 34:25
  It's very long title.
• 34:27
  Very long title.
• 34:28
  We need to keep doing that.
• 34:29
  We'll put it in the show notes.
• 34:32
  So you guys can check it out.
• 34:34
  All right, Liv, what's your first one?
• 34:35
  My first one's definitely going to be a choice of on.
• 34:38
  I feel like some people are going to be like, that's not new, but it's new to me.
• 34:43
  It's new to me.
• 34:46
  And so his song right now that he has out is Rush.
• 34:51
  And it's amazing.
• 34:52
  I have played it for literally everyone that says they do not know it.
• 34:56
  And it's just so rejecting the music video is quite fun.
• 35:01
  It's just a gay ol' time.
• 35:04
  Is it gay?
• 35:05
  Because I love a gay song.
• 35:07
  Oh, yes, it's very, very gay.
• 35:09
  There's a part where you look at choice of on through a glory hole.
• 35:14
  And Rush is like a really popular form of popper.
• 35:20
  And so like very big in the gay community, poppers.
• 35:23
  And so it's quite fun.
• 35:25
  And yeah, it's just a gay old time.
• 35:28
  We love it.
• 35:29
  You said that and I just immediately the Flintstones goes through my head though.
• 35:33
  They'll have a gay old time.
• 35:37
  Wow.
• 35:38
  Maddie, you need some more fun gay times in your life.
• 35:42
  I think he's some more fun gay things.
• 35:44
  I don't know.
• 35:45
  The Flintstones could be gay.
• 35:47
  Barney?
• 35:48
  I feel like Barney and Fred might have been swingers.
• 35:52
  Then with each other.
• 35:56
  Oh, yeah, absolutely.
• 35:57
  Or they at least all went to like key parties and then Betty and Willma and everybody.
• 36:02
  I don't know.
• 36:03
  Anyway, my first artist is Marlon Kraft.
• 36:10
  So Marlon Kraft is a hip-hop artist from Hell's Kitchen, New York.
• 36:16
  That was a terrible New York accent.
• 36:18
  Please don't cancel me, New York.
• 36:20
  His father was a jazz drummer.
• 36:22
  His brother was a producer in a Broadway theater company.
• 36:25
  And you can definitely hear those influences in his music.
• 36:29
  He's got a lot of jazz influence in there.
• 36:32
  He's just a really talented rapper and songwriter.
• 36:35
  He touches on a lot of political things.
• 36:39
  And he's a white rapper.
• 36:40
  I will put that out there.
• 36:42
  I know.
• 36:43
  Wow.
• 36:44
  And what's in the blood I'm not expected that one.
• 36:46
  Yeah, he's a white rapper from Hell's Kitchen, New York.
• 36:50
  And my favorite songs from him are State of the Union and New York Baby, as well as Gangs Shit.
• 36:56
  State of the Union came out during a lot of political turmoil a few years ago, just kind of talking about the divisiveness in this country.
• 37:04
  He's definitely not a Donald Trump fan, shocking that I would like him.
• 37:08
  But yeah, definitely shout out to Marlon Kraft.
• 37:11
  His music is kind of like old school like jazz vibes, like chill vibes to study to hip-hop.
• 37:18
  And I like that.
• 37:19
  Put that on in the background.
• 37:21
  Something about the name Marlon though just makes me feel like that person was born in the 1930s.
• 37:29
  Oh, I should probably mention that he's very elderly.
• 37:33
  Oh.
• 37:34
  Oh, I'm just kidding.
• 37:35
  He's 30.
• 37:36
  Okay.
• 37:37
  I was like, I'm not picking up the vibe of this man.
• 37:42
  Oh my god.
• 37:43
  If there are any elderly white rappers out there.
• 37:47
  Just, oh, we just love.
• 37:49
  Maybe.
• 37:50
  Please send us your mixed tapes.
• 37:52
  Yes, you are.
• 37:53
  Just an old Jewish New York grandpa, just like.
• 37:59
  Also, some sick beats.
• 38:01
  I'm into it.
• 38:02
  Okay, Nicole, who's your next?
• 38:04
  My next artist is Ktlyn.
• 38:07
  And I'm just gonna spell these out because sometimes they're weird.
• 38:10
  KTLYN.
• 38:11
  Oh, she's an independent rapper from San Diego.
• 38:18
  And she is known for her song, "Handsomer."
• 38:21
  And again, I found her on TikTok.
• 38:24
  Yes.
• 38:25
  She actually uses TikTok to gain her attraction for her music.
• 38:30
  My favorite rap by her is "Big Mad."
• 38:34
  Her latest single is "Float State."
• 38:37
  And a little fun fact is that she put a verse out of her own for "Russes" song, "Handsomer,"
• 38:44
  which is her most known song.
• 38:46
  You guys know who "Russes" are heard of him?
• 38:48
  That sounds familiar, yeah.
• 38:50
  Yeah.
• 38:51
  His song is actually "Handsomer."
• 38:52
  And she put out a verse on TikTok.
• 38:54
  And he actually liked it so much that he re-recorded it with her on it.
• 38:57
  Oh, cool.
• 38:58
  And now it's like a huge hit.
• 38:59
  So that's kind of how she blew up because of his song that she was on.
• 39:04
  Love it.
• 39:05
  All right, Liv.
• 39:07
  Yeah, "TikTok Artists" are so cool.
• 39:09
  It's like, I know.
• 39:11
  It's also used just like a marketing, obviously.
• 39:14
  Like, if you have a popular song on TikTok, you're gonna be in "People's Bones," "Handsomer"
• 39:19
  and "Tarer" list.
• 39:20
  But I think I'm woefully unprepared.
• 39:24
  I don't have everything about these people.
• 39:26
  That's all good.
• 39:27
  You guys are better podcasts than me.
• 39:29
  You're fired.
• 39:30
  You're fired.
• 39:31
  You're done.
• 39:33
  You're done.
• 39:34
  Don't add your songs to the playlist.
• 39:37
  Okay?
• 39:38
  Don't add her.
• 39:40
  She's can.
• 39:41
  So the way that you said that is a good one.
• 39:44
  I don't know if I'm saying this right, because again, I read it on TikTok all the time.
• 39:49
  But I think it's INJI.
• 39:50
  It's I N J I
• 39:52
  And she has that song where it's like, "Boy so sweet, like Fanta."
• 39:56
  And it's so good.
• 39:58
  I really like it.
• 39:59
  She has other ones where it's like, why are you not playing the music in the club that the people want to hear?
• 40:03
  And she makes like six beats.
• 40:05
  And so she's gorgeous and just so hot as well.
• 40:10
  Would definitely recommend checking out her both her Spotify songs and then her TikTok.
• 40:16
  I could just watch her sing.
• 40:18
  Oh wow.
• 40:19
  I love that.
• 40:21
  Big hot doesn't hurt.
• 40:22
  I mean, you're gonna get on the list.
• 40:25
  Yeah, absolutely.
• 40:27
  My next one is Rico Nasty.
• 40:30
  So Rico Nasty has been self-releasing content for almost ten years.
• 40:35
  She started when she was in high school.
• 40:37
  She started releasing songs on SoundCloud.
• 40:39
  I first heard her when I was in the car with some people and they played a song called "Pussy Poppin"
• 40:46
  and I am obsessed with this song now.
• 40:49
  I love poppin' that push, you know?
• 40:51
  It does!
• 40:52
  If this song is so good, it's just about like, just poppin' your pussy.
• 40:57
  And sometimes you just gotta get dirty with a guy.
• 41:00
  You didn't know you were gonna and then you just, you're DTF, you know?
• 41:04
  Mm-hmm.
• 41:05
  Yeah.
• 41:06
  You're popping it.
• 41:07
  You're popping up with it.
• 41:08
  It's just your opening.
• 41:09
  Yes, okay.
• 41:10
  So Rico Nasty, her music is hip hop with influences of trap, new metal and pop punk.
• 41:18
  Her style is definitely very edgy and alternative.
• 41:22
  So definitely check out Rico Nasty.
• 41:24
  I know some people probably have already heard her.
• 41:26
  She's definitely rising up there a little bit.
• 41:28
  But I think she deserves to be up there with the rap ladies up today.
• 41:33
  Nicole, you're up girl.
• 41:35
  All right.
• 41:37
  My next artist is Drake Milligan.
• 41:39
  He is a 25 year old American singer and actor.
• 41:43
  He is best known for a portraying Elvis on a CMT series called Sun Records.
• 41:50
  Okay.
• 41:51
  He was on American Idol and America's Got Talent.
• 41:54
  He was born in Arlington, Texas.
• 41:56
  My favorite song of his is "Sounds Like Something I'd Do."
• 42:01
  In his latest releases, hating everything she tries on and his style is country.
• 42:06
  I mean, obviously I like country.
• 42:08
  So if you don't like country, you're probably not going to like him.
• 42:10
  But as a country singer, he's pretty good.
• 42:13
  I think he'll do very well.
• 42:15
  He's still super young and just coming up.
• 42:18
  But I think the fact that he portrayed a huge artist such as Elvis already.
• 42:22
  I had such a young age and on CMT, which is a very big country station,
• 42:28
  that he will have a very successful career ahead of him.
• 42:31
  Nice.
• 42:32
  I like it.
• 42:33
  I'm not a big country girl, but if you heard that song,
• 42:38
  it's like he was bouncing on my booty.
• 42:42
  He was pumping deep inside.
• 42:45
  It's so catchy.
• 42:48
  I love it.
• 42:49
  I love it.
• 42:50
  Okay.
• 42:51
  Liv, your turn.
• 42:52
  So I had like two paths when I was creating these.
• 42:55
  I made a joke.
• 42:56
  I was just going to choose all of Taylor Swift's openers.
• 43:01
  But I mixed it up and picked artists who sound like Taylor Swift.
• 43:06
  And so I'm going to pick Maggie Rogers.
• 43:09
  She's an American singer/songwriter.
• 43:12
  My favorite song of hers is Falling Water.
• 43:15
  It came out in 2019.
• 43:17
  But she's like really blowing up.
• 43:19
  She's really kind of seen some good success lately.
• 43:22
  Alaska's also a really great song.
• 43:24
  I love that.
• 43:26
  She sounds very classy.
• 43:28
  And my next artist is named Lil Mariko.
• 43:32
  And my favorite song by her is called Hi,
• 43:35
  I'm a Slut.
• 43:36
  So Lil Mariko is amazing.
• 43:43
  Her first single was called Where's My Juul??
• 43:46
  It came out in 2019.
• 43:48
  It's right here.
• 43:49
  It's right here.
• 43:51
  I don't know where my -- oh yeah, I left my jewel at Lives House.
• 43:56
  That's true.
• 43:57
  So Lil Mariko is a screamo artist.
• 44:02
  She has rap, metal, hyperpop, techno influences.
• 44:08
  Her album -- I think it was just self-titled.
• 44:11
  Lil Mariko has amazing songs on there.
• 44:14
  If you just want some time with your girls to just listen to some like hyper-ass music,
• 44:20
  I definitely am putting some of her songs on the Bachelor at Party Playlist that I'm making right now.
• 44:26
  So again, my favorite is Hi,
• 44:28
  I'm a Slut.
• 44:29
  But then she also has one called --
• 44:31
  A multi-pop and slut.
• 44:32
  Yes.
• 44:33
  So the pop culture junkie playlist is going to have songs called High.
• 44:37
  I'm a slut and pussy poppin.
• 44:39
  Both from the married woman.
• 44:43
  She also has a song with Rico Nasty, my last artist, called Simp, which is hilarious.
• 44:49
  And she has a great song called Cat Boys.
• 44:52
  So check out Lil Mariko.
• 44:54
  My next artist is someone you might have heard of if you -- again, listen to country music --
• 45:01
  He is up and coming.
• 45:04
  His name is Zach Bryan.
• 45:06
  He is a 27-year-old American country singer-songwriter.
• 45:10
  He was actually born in —Okinawa.
• 45:15
  Cool.
• 45:16
  I'm sorry if I butchered that.
• 45:17
  He was born there because his family was active duty military.
• 45:21
  He grew up in Oklahoma.
• 45:23
  He also served in the Navy.
• 45:25
  His number one song is Something in the Orange, which is also my favorite song.
• 45:30
  And then another one of my favorite songs is Sun to Me, which is S-U-N, not S-O-N.
• 45:35
  But he's just -- he's so good.
• 45:37
  He has such a like old soul to him.
• 45:40
  And fun fact, he is actually dating Brittany, aka Chicken Fry, or whatever her name is.
• 45:46
  From Barstool.
• 45:48
  This one.
• 45:49
  They just started dating.
• 45:51
  Cool.
• 45:52
  So I think a lot of people are actually going to start to know him now because he's going to be associated with Barstool.
• 45:58
  Yeah.
• 45:59
  Yeah.
• 46:00
  Niha.
• 46:01
  Shit.
• 46:02
  Yeah.
• 46:03
  Chateaqra loves to like never be single as long as you like.
• 46:07
  It's like Ariana Grande.
• 46:10
  Yeah.
• 46:11
  Yeah, very similar.
• 46:13
  So my next one is going to be CIL C-I-L.
• 46:18
  She's super new.
• 46:19
  But she opened for Stevie Nix for a few nights.
• 46:24
  I actually first found her a shocker on TikTok.
• 46:27
  And she has a song called One More Shot.
• 46:30
  And it was her performing it.
• 46:32
  And it's about an ex-boyfriend.
• 46:35
  And like the video was when your ex-boyfriend shows up and you're singing this song.
• 46:39
  And it is, ooh, it's striking.
• 46:42
  And she's kind of got like a Stevie Nix sound.
• 46:45
  She's a pop and R and B singer.
• 46:47
  That is what she's kind of labeled as.
• 46:49
  She's like 20.
• 46:50
  She just got signed to a Warner Records.
• 46:53
  So she like hasn't even like really recorded anything outside of like demos.
• 46:58
  So I'm really, really excited to see that.
• 47:01
  I mean, opening for the Queen, Stevie Nix.
• 47:04
  I know.
• 47:05
  That's amazing.
• 47:06
  What a great start there.
• 47:07
  Yeah.
• 47:08
  Yeah, exactly.
• 47:09
  I love that.
• 47:10
  Do we want to kind of run through the rest of these rapid fire?
• 47:13
  Yeah, yeah.
• 47:14
  Let's go a little quicker with these.
• 47:16
  So my next two, we'll just go that way.
• 47:19
  The first band is called Twin Temple.
• 47:22
  I saw them open for Ghost.
• 47:24
  Fans of Alex Jones will know that he dedicated a whole segment on his show to how terrible they are.
• 47:31
  They are a duop band of the spooky variety, we'll just say.
• 47:40
  They're a husband, wife, duo.
• 47:42
  They record straight up rockabilly, duop music.
• 47:46
  But it is all dedicated to the big man downstairs.
• 47:51
  So check out Twin Temple.
• 47:55
  My last artist is called Haru Nemuri.
• 47:59
  She is a Japanese singer, songwriter and a poetry rapper.
• 48:04
  Her music is beautiful.
• 48:06
  I don't understand a thing she is saying.
• 48:09
  It's all in Japanese.
• 48:11
  It's J-pop rap with a little post hardcore mixed in there.
• 48:16
  She's currently based in Tokyo putting out amazing music.
• 48:19
  Definitely check her out.
• 48:20
  My favorite songs by her are Wrecked and Kick in the World.
• 48:24
  Again, unless you speak Japanese, you probably won't understand most of it, but it still slaps.
• 48:28
  My last artist is Lainey Wilson.
• 48:32
  She is an American country singer, songwriter, born in Louisiana.
• 48:38
  She is currently touring with Luke Bryan whenever he comes back from being sick and cancelling his shows.
• 48:44
  And her number one song is Heart Like a Truck.
• 48:47
  My favorite song by her is a duet with Hardy called Wait in the Truck.
• 48:52
  Her latest single is Watermelon Moonshine.
• 48:56
  Delicious.
• 48:58
  Another fun fact about her is that she plays in the hit show Yellowstone.
• 49:04
  I will say that, just kind of say, it's always fun listening to these upcoming artists.
• 49:11
  And then watching them become huge artists.
• 49:14
  I listen to them way before any of y'all were listening to them.
• 49:18
  That type of a competitors.
• 49:20
  I like her before she was on that Sam Spitt song.
• 49:24
  I love it.
• 49:26
  She's a Billy Eilish.
• 49:28
  Who are your final artists or artists?
• 49:30
  Olivia?
• 49:32
  My next one is going to be a small indie artist who names Taylor Swift.
• 49:36
  No, I'm just kidding.
• 49:38
  Shut the fuck up.
• 49:40
  And that about wraps up this episode.
• 49:44
  God damn it, she's doing it again.
• 49:46
  Fair warning.
• 49:50
  I was going to be the most annoying I've ever been on recording today.
• 49:54
  This is not the most annoying you've ever felt.
• 49:56
  Okay, you're supposed to agree with it.
• 49:58
  You know what?
• 50:00
  Now we're really done, no, I'm just kidding.
• 50:02
  Now our next song is going to be Caroline Polichak.
• 50:06
  And the big song she has right now is So Hot You're Hurting My Feelings.
• 50:10
  It's a banger.
• 50:12
  It's super good.
• 50:14
  I'm called chairlift as well.
• 50:16
  And you know, she's now lives in Brooklyn but is like a Connecticut girly.
• 50:22
  Love that.
• 50:24
  Those are always fun.
• 50:26
  Okay, all of our bands were all over the place and all of our artists I should say.
• 50:28
  We have like singer songwriters, rappers, country artists, spooky duop.
• 50:34
  It's going to be a bomb playlist.
• 50:36
  Lots of pussy poppin.
• 50:38
  Yeah.
• 50:40
  And trucks.
• 50:42
  Lots of songs about trucks.
• 50:44
  And mine are all about sludding it.
• 50:46
  Something for everyone.
• 50:48
  You get to see all of our personalities.
• 50:50
  And I love that.
