But in this week's episode, in 9 00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:10.879 for the Culture, we are talking about J Cole doing the most J Cole 10 00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:15.959 thing possible. And let's talk TV. Some fire movie trailers have it dropped, 11 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.239 And in Bitch we give an update on our lives. I got an 12 00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.799 update on Carpenter Bed, so by all means, let's get to it. 13 00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:30.040 This is for the culture, for the culture, for the culture. This 14 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:33.599 is where we pick a headline and ask if they, she or he did 15 00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.840 it for the culture. You guys, J Cole did the most J Cole 16 00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:42.079 thing possible. He really did this. Man dissed Ketchrick Lamar on a Thursday 17 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:47.359 and apologized by Sunday he did, so let's I mean, I guess if 18 00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:52.040 you've been living under a rock Metro in Future drop their album we Don't Trust 19 00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:57.000 You, And on there they have a song called like that is Hard a 20 00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:02.159 sample to Everlasting bass sample and Ketchach Lamar is on there, and I feel 21 00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:06.040 like everyone gets really excited because Ken Drake drops every now and then, like 22 00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:08.599 now he's hat the surprising Us, but he definitely took jabs at Drake and 23 00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:13.280 J Cole and he's talking about first Person Shooter because you know, a lot 24 00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:15.400 of people are trying to say he wasn't as direct, but I'm like it 25 00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:20.360 clearly was a jab. He said first person Shooter when fuck the Big Three, 26 00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:25.000 it's just big Me and yeah, people were in a tizzy about that. 27 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.439 J Cole surprise drops an album. What was it like a week later? 28 00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:35.439 Maybe m M two weeks later, yeah, yeah, it was like 29 00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:38.080 this past Sunday, maybe Sunday before, yes, yeah, last week whatever 30 00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:45.120 called my delete later And on the last track is seven minute Drill where he 31 00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:50.039 is coming for Kendrick Lamar and honestly gave him some bars a little bit. 32 00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.000 I'm I don't hate j Cole You guys, right, But and I used 33 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:57.439 to love him when I was like in high school, but here you grow 34 00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:01.319 up in your taste cal Like, I really don't hate him, but like 35 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:04.520 he is, I'm like a big rap fan. I'm a hard critic and 36 00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:07.120 he is a little corny to me. That's some suspect bars that I just 37 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:12.919 cannot get past. And yeah, he just became a little bit of a 38 00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:17.560 snooze fest to me. I'm not gonna lie lately, okay, but when 39 00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:21.280 he when he first dropped it, I'm not gonna lie. And I'm not 40 00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:25.120 saying Kendrick's Verse was overrated because I like like that, like and something that 41 00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:29.080 does put it over similar to what Drake dig to Meek Mill is that like 42 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:30.639 it's a club record, Like people want to dance to it, Like that's 43 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.240 the best thing you could do in a dis if it's something people are dancing 44 00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:36.919 to and just like bumping. Yeah, I saw someone tweet like, uh 45 00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:40.840 they play like that the hair salonise girl started to working, Like if you 46 00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:45.159 could do that and just someone at the same time, like that's he It's 47 00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:47.479 really gonna be played everywhere. So I love like that. I played it 48 00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:50.560 in the in the in the gym, like that's like one of my go 49 00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:53.400 to songs, like it gets me going. I will say J Coles was 50 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:58.520 a lot more direct. Yeah, Like he was very much like Kendrick fucking 51 00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:01.759 talking to you, like justographies trash all this shit that he was saying. 52 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:06.439 You know. But wo that being said and back to Kendrick, I feel 53 00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:11.560 like Kendrick did just have that one bar which was still a little little ransom 54 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:15.039 das it was more of a warning shot. It was Kendricks wasn't like a 55 00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:16.279 full disc. It was like a little warning shot like hey y'all, calm 56 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:21.399 down, I'm still the best. Yeah, fuck y'all. So what I 57 00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:25.920 did respect about J Coles was that it was more direct. But did I 58 00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:28.720 agree with anything he said, Like he tried to say tip a Butterfly wasn't 59 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:33.000 good? M Yeah, questionable question. I know a lot of people that 60 00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:36.000 I like that album personally. I can see why some people don't. It's 61 00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:40.160 not for everyone, but there is something about J Cole and iking it. 62 00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:45.600 Like if you were to tell me was J Cole's favorite kend I thought it 63 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:47.800 would be butter Fly or you know, people do those like Twitter threads where 64 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:56.079 it's like rappers as shoespers as Kendrick Lamar albums makes sense. That makes sense. 65 00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.639 That makes sense now that I'm thinking about it, thinking about Kendrick's whole 66 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:01.879 discard graphy. Yeah, right, jakele would be that, I'm like you 67 00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:04.639 lying as like I just don't believe you, and then like I forgot what 68 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:08.800 the other bar was, like, oh, like if he ain't disoniss we 69 00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:11.600 wouldn't be discussing him if he ain't dissini uced or something along those lines, 70 00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:15.240 like we're only talking about you ever to come back and disc people. But 71 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:17.720 it's like, literally in first person shooter, did you not name him right 72 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:21.600 exactly? Top three rapper? Yes he did. I was gonna say that. 73 00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:24.759 I was going to say that, so you were discussing him in your 74 00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:30.319 latest single exactly, and now so the fact wasn't mathing. I don't. 75 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:32.920 I was still giving him points. I was like, wow, yeah, 76 00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:35.439 how did you feel about disc in the first case, he definitely wouldn't have 77 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:40.160 done that if Kendrick did not fire those warning shots, because yes, I 78 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:44.120 was gonna mention he did say that he was top three, right, Like, 79 00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:47.519 I wassah, that's kind of crazy. He's like, but I digress. 80 00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:55.000 Yeah, I know for real, second thought up to him, Yeah, 81 00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:59.360 giving it's kind of giving wishy washy. Yeah, but I was like, 82 00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:00.879 are these bars? I don't know, but I will give Jake Cole 83 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:05.199 the proz for being direct. Shook shut up, and I'm not No. 84 00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:10.319 I am kind of hated on this album, the Big Steppers album, because 85 00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:13.920 on Twitter everyone was basically defending to Pimp a Butterfly, like whether it's trash 86 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:16.319 or not, because he has some other bars about like he tried to use 87 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:21.120 uh he basically sole like all of jay Z's from Takeover, Like that's a 88 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:24.920 lot of hot album every ten year average. Like he said something similar, 89 00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:30.680 but it's like Jake y'all drop albums at the same time, like that time 90 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:32.120 frame. He said, y'all dropped the same amount of albums in that time 91 00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:40.839 frame, Yeah, the same Like it just wasn't making sense. But like, 92 00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:43.000 I'll give you an a for effort, because, like, like I 93 00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.680 said, it's more direct all that. Ship of course had to he had 94 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.800 to respond, He had to say something, and he did it was he 95 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:58.279 did he drive it home this question at his own music festival, what is 96 00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:04.240 the dream film? So it's called Yes, apologize for ninety seventy two hours, 97 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:09.160 you guys, seventy two hours he took to apologize. Let me pull 98 00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:12.600 up the audio so you can hear what he had to say. I put 99 00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:15.720 out this project on Friday called Mike Delete Later. I don't know how many 100 00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.839 people don't checked it out or whatever. I put this project out, and 101 00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:24.399 I swear to god, I'm so proud of that project because I know one 102 00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:27.680 is just a leader. It's just an EP that leads me up to this 103 00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:30.319 thing that I've been working on for a long time, and I know the 104 00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:32.000 work it took to get to a certain type of skill level. And I 105 00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:34.920 love this shit, so that shitn mean a lot to me writing. So 106 00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:42.680 I'm so proud of that project, except for one part. It's one part 107 00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:46.319 of that shit that make me feel like, man, that's the lamest shit 108 00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.839 I ever did in my fucking life. And I know this is not what 109 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:53.600 a lot of people want to hear. I know I can hear my niggas 110 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:56.199 up there right now, like, nah, I don't do that, But 111 00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.480 I got to keep it one hundred with y'all. Right. I damn near 112 00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:03.800 had a relay as right, because I heard the ship that happened two two 113 00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:07.040 three weeks ago, however long it was, y'all, y'all, y'all heard 114 00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:11.480 that from Zuker that was dropped on the motherfucking game, right, So, 115 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:16.000 all of this time of me moving on my own accord, for the first 116 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.079 time, I was tested. Why am I tested? Because I got the 117 00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:24.519 world and I got my niggas, like what you gonna do? Call exactly 118 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:28.360 my niggas, like bitch boy, I must have had a thousand in this 119 00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:33.159 cause, oh my fucking guy, text flooded. I couldn't even answer my 120 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:39.240 ship nigga's war time boo. Right, niggas want to see blood. And 121 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.720 I was conflicted because one, I know my heart, you know what I 122 00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:48.679 mean, and like, I remember you how I feel about my peers, 123 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.000 these two niggas that I've just been blessed to even stand beside in this game, 124 00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:56.360 let alone chase chase their greatness. Right. So I felt conflicted because 125 00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:58.240 I'm like, bro, I know, I don't really feel no way, 126 00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.320 but the world want to see blood. I don't know if y'all can feel 127 00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:07.279 that, but the world want to see blood. So I say all of 128 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:11.480 that to say in my spirit of trying to like get this music out. 129 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.559 I ain't gonna lie to y'all. I moved in a way that was that 130 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:20.279 I feel spiritually feel bad on me, Like like I try to like jab 131 00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:24.720 my nigga back and I try to keep it friendly. But at the end 132 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:26.639 of the day, when I listen to it and when it comes out and 133 00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:30.639 I see the talk, that shit don't sit right with my spirit. That 134 00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.600 shit makes me feel that shit disrupts my fucking peace. So what I want 135 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.759 to say right here tonight is in the midst of me doing that and in 136 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.720 that shit trying to find a little angle and downplay this, this nigga's fucking 137 00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:46.759 catalog in his greatness, I want to say, right now tonight, how 138 00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:50.200 many people think Kendrick Lamar is one of the greatest motherfuckers to ever touch a 139 00:09:50.240 --> 00:10:00.240 fucking microphone? Dreamville. Y'all love Kendrick Lamar? Correct as do I. 140 00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.360 This is all it is, so Corney. Oh my god, Wait, 141 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:07.159 that's my first time hearing the full thing. I was conflicted. Yeah, 142 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:11.360 to my point, To my point, Jay said, Jay Cole said all 143 00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:16.720 that stuff just to say something because he had to say something. He felt 144 00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:22.279 pressure. Yeah, he felt pressured. So that's why nothing he was saying 145 00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:28.440 really like nothing really hate like and there's so many people that like, I 146 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.879 know, they love j Cole and they're like, you've never been a situation 147 00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:35.080 where you know you fucked up, like he's maturing and like, you know, 148 00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.600 we can't be like rooting for violence. First of all, the whole 149 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:41.519 violence take. I need everyone to stop it, like this is rap. 150 00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:46.440 It's fun. Like everyone was tweeting like this rap is a sport and part 151 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:50.879 of it is the beef. It really is. It really is A man 152 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.360 that said, you've been on my mind, like Kaepernick Nilan, I'm not 153 00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:56.559 thinking, oh man, he's gonna shoot Kendrick, like it's gonna turn the 154 00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:00.960 violence. The man that said, I let you feel like this shit, 155 00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:05.000 but you can outfart me. No one who's believed that was like guns and 156 00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:11.279 violence involved. I promise you they both like or like semi conscious wrappers or 157 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:13.720 like you know, talk about like deep shit like even Kendrick. I mean, 158 00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.720 Kendrick, I don't know. I don't think they would have got there. 159 00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:18.519 So everyone talking about like, oh, we can't promote violence, like 160 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:24.759 shut up, shut up, shut up. It really did give. I 161 00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:28.720 felt pressured. I had to say something, so I said something. And 162 00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:31.840 that's like straush am I thing if we're gonna call him mature, like the 163 00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:33.840 mature thing would have been, I respect him if you just never said anything, 164 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.399 but you already said some shit, so stand on your ship. Yeah, 165 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:41.679 but to go back and apologize is so fucking corny, Like I've never 166 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:46.759 seen anything like this in my life. Agreed, Agreed. I hate rap 167 00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:48.480 music right now. I didn't. I'm not gonna lie. This not my 168 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:54.639 big three, not my victory. But that's crazy. And anyone like trying 169 00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:56.480 to cap for this, you're crazy. I don't want to hear. I 170 00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:01.480 don't want here know it was mature. We need this, no bruh and 171 00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:03.759 he dm your like needs rap probation, Like I feel like you should go 172 00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.159 to like rap jail or something like this. He probably apologized because what he 173 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:16.840 was saying wasn't like, it wasn't good. But then we just apologize a 174 00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:20.000 lot of people there. I don't know if I agreed, because okay, 175 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:22.960 my timeline was definitely divided. But even for me, like I liked J 176 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:28.720 Cole's diss I thought he was bugging about tipip A Butterfly and I was gonna 177 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:31.759 mention this earlier, like a little Joki joke. Ain't nobody defended the Big 178 00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:35.399 Steppers album though, Yeah, And what I will say, there's there's like 179 00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:39.320 three songs I do funk with on there? What is it rich Spirit? 180 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:41.559 I keep calling it rich PARI it's not. And I wasn't there for it. 181 00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:43.919 I wasn't. I wasn't feeling it. I don't know it. I 182 00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:48.799 do that that song, how does it go? I already forgot? See, 183 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:56.600 wasn't that great? No? Really, she doesn't know y'all? Are 184 00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:58.679 you strap? Brother? Like? I love that song, but I'm trying 185 00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:01.120 to think of the chorus because it's funny, but I can't think of it 186 00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:03.399 right now. I'm just having a rain part. I'll think of it later. 187 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:09.200 But to me, it was an album that it's like when you see 188 00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:11.120 a really good movie, but you're like, I'm never gonna watch that movie 189 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:13.399 again, Like it's replay value just wasn't there for me. It's not my 190 00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:16.240 favorite Kendrick album. I'm not gonna lie. I mean, there was a 191 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:18.679 lot of hypho it because I get at the storytelling all that stuff, But 192 00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:24.879 it wasn't it but it's funny because he does that one to annoy one, 193 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:28.480 like not a lot of people were defending it, like it's like, oh, 194 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:33.559 might have been true. I did like what he said, like I 195 00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:35.320 actually was exciting becau this does shake shit up. Like I love Kendrick. 196 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:37.919 I'm a big fan, but there is stuff like when we talk about the 197 00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:43.120 goats that I will argue with people, Like there's a lot of stuff that 198 00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:45.960 I'm like, I don't know if Kendrick is there, you know. So 199 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:50.720 I was excited about this and then this motherfucker just like went all the way 200 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:52.960 back on it, Like I just I can't wrap my rinder around the fact 201 00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:56.919 how corny this is. And I think the mature thing to do if if 202 00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:00.639 you are going to talk about that is more like, well, don't blame 203 00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:03.759 it on your boys were pressuring you, you know what I mean, Like 204 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:07.480 that's not really yeah, and you know what, the main question, the 205 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:13.320 main warning shot was like that you not like that, and you just proved 206 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:16.559 that period. So like that definitely wins now, Like I would have gave 207 00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:20.039 Joe Colt if that was like a battle, maybe give him point, but 208 00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:22.559 he just lost all points. And now you need to go to rab jail 209 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:28.320 and sit in his little corner. Lakolmar One, j Cole zero Yeah negative 210 00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:39.080 bro on the map count boy card though has dropped. So good, so 211 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:43.799 good? What do you guys say? Okay, So for me, I 212 00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:50.679 think my favorite is definitely I like Levigene so much. Really post Malone sounds 213 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:54.360 on that s it's so good. I don't just like post me on. 214 00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:58.159 I saw him live. He's like a good performing I forget, like, 215 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:01.600 oh you got that song young, but I'm not in love with him. 216 00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:05.480 But I was like, oh, like, you're talented. I'm in love 217 00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:07.480 with him. Bro that he went off on that so good. Okay, 218 00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:15.600 So Levi's Jean's top tyrant crazy. Yeah, what about you guys, it's 219 00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:18.399 almost wanted. It's good to Oh my god, Bro. Her and Miley 220 00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:22.559 Cyrus' vocals like blended, so perfect. Miley is on the whole track, 221 00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:30.240 She's singing the whole time. Yes that is, that's not that's we're both 222 00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:33.240 on a chair together. They're like going back and sport like together. I 223 00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:35.600 haven't heard a true duet like that in a long time. On they don't 224 00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:39.879 make him like that anymore, especially from her, you know, like don't 225 00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.960 do that exactly, And I mean I always love Miley Cyrus' vocals, like 226 00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:50.360 even I'm not the big Bangers fan like that era either. Yeah, respectfully 227 00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:54.960 here that's like his favorite. Yeah her when she was like in her crazy 228 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:56.519 face, I remember like kind of being over her. You just feel like 229 00:15:56.519 --> 00:16:00.320 she's annoying and I'll never forget. She came out with her MTV Unplugged and 230 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:03.480 she did a cover of Arctic Monkeys. Why do you want to call me 231 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:07.519 when you're high? And when I tell you this bitch snatched all her respect 232 00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:11.919 back like it's honestly one of my favorite covers, like ever, like it's 233 00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:15.320 in my top ten favorite covers. She flipped it. And even if you 234 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:17.360 like, go on the YouTube comments because you know, like people who are 235 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:19.080 like into alternative and like rock, they can't wait to shit on the pop 236 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:22.840 bitch, you know, like they hate it. Everyone of the comments is 237 00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:25.159 like, damn, I love art and Monkeys. I gotta give it to 238 00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:27.120 her, Like I don't even fuck with but this is Hella good Like she 239 00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:30.679 like flipped it, made her own song. She fucking killed it. I 240 00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:33.679 need to watch it. I'm gonna play for you right after this fucking episode 241 00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:38.759 from this, but wow, absolutely kills it. So I always like had 242 00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:42.879 respect for Miley's vocals at least even when she like annoyed me as an entertainer. 243 00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:48.240 I love her now Honestly, I love Miley as an artist all around. 244 00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:52.519 But no, she did that. I have Bodyguard on repeat. You 245 00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:56.519 do take the top off off my fucking jo. Yeah, I al really 246 00:16:56.559 --> 00:17:00.080 have like turls in my head that I want to make to it, like 247 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.960 I just pretude a wrong com like, like yes, honestly, that's how 248 00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:11.039 I feel about Leva Junes. Yeah, I just I haven't played I've listened 249 00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:14.200 every time I've listened to the album. I've listened to it from start to 250 00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:18.519 finish. I haven't chosen the song yet that's my favorite because I take it 251 00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:22.599 Beyonce really seriously and it's really hard for me right now. I need you 252 00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:25.599 got asked me like a month from now? No, because yeah, I 253 00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:26.599 don't know. I don't know for sure, and I feel like it's gonna 254 00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:30.000 change every week to like I'm always every day. That's how it was a 255 00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:33.559 renaissance too, like this is my favorite and then like my favorite now was 256 00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:36.480 not my favorite when it first came out like it was probably my favorite for 257 00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:40.039 the first time and now like probably Alien Superstar, you know what I mean. 258 00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:47.039 Like transitions on this album, Yes, Solowless so good. I do, 259 00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:48.720 I will say, because yeah, I'm like you two baby, but 260 00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:52.519 I will say I do. I don't know if I have a favorite, 261 00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:55.319 but I do love the second half of the album more than like I was 262 00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:57.799 gonna say that, I was gonna I think it's a good transition into renaissance 263 00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:02.799 too perfect like all she made this way before, like it goes right into 264 00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:06.200 it, and well, yeah, that second half is very renaissance e. 265 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:10.759 And I saw that, you know me with like theories and all this stuff, 266 00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:15.200 I well, no, this is actually this was actually kind of cool. 267 00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:22.960 So I saw one a little bit after the album dropped, and it 268 00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:27.519 said something about like like how cool would it be if Act three is like 269 00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:30.880 really the beginning, so like say, like you have to plan the backwards 270 00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:34.960 for them to make sense, and because of the whole second have been very 271 00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:38.599 like renaissancey, they're kind of thinking like okay, like it kind of transitions 272 00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:42.599 into it perfectly. So imagine like a trilogy art piece that's like you could 273 00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:47.720 hear it from the chronological order that she released it, but then also reverse 274 00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:51.799 like that's pretty sick, that'd fire. But I have a theory that Act 275 00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:55.839 three is going to be a straight bounce album like the Way River Dance. 276 00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:57.720 A lot of the records have like very bouncy feelter and I can hear it 277 00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:02.920 just being like straight up like New Orleans, I'm here for that. A 278 00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:06.720 lot of people are saying rock. I know, I heard that rock and 279 00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:10.240 gospel, which I thought was interesting, but I don't know if she'll do 280 00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:11.440 that. I thought rock would make more sense just because she's very in her 281 00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:15.119 like we're taking back what's ours, you know, like this is a big 282 00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:18.039 fuck you to like those white and like this album literally was made off her 283 00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:21.000 being petty because some white people pissed off and said you can't be here. 284 00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:25.559 So she was like, bet, I'm about to make it. Liked fucking 285 00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:27.960 album period, So it would make more sense for her. That's rock because 286 00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:32.400 like literally Elvis, everyone, every famous rockstar you could think of, hes 287 00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:37.559 still from black rock stars, like it started with black music. Sidebar, 288 00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:41.599 did you guys have seen that clip of like Dave Girls, how they still 289 00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:45.599 from the Gap band? No? Oh god? That might be the end 290 00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:48.039 clip for this, but it just goes to show like people are Everything starts 291 00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:52.240 with black musicians. But he's talking to Pharrell and he basically says that smells 292 00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:56.759 like teen Spirit. They stole all that ship from the Gap band and when 293 00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:57.920 he met them, he was like, dude, I've been stealing from you 294 00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:02.000 for years, and the guy was like, I now I think I've seen 295 00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:06.480 it. Yeah, fire, but that'd be cool. She did a rock 296 00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:10.240 one, but I am kind of reading for a Bounce album. But you 297 00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:12.160 know, Beonce is gonna make it fun either way. Yeah, I'm rooting 298 00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:15.920 for it all. I'm excited either way. But this album is really perfect 299 00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:19.880 and it's exactly like like you said AV two, Like it's really sensitive about 300 00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:23.079 Beyonce and we really got to sit with it. But I'm already feeling like 301 00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:27.039 this is like one of her best albums that she's done, like the production, 302 00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:33.839 the vocals, helf she said this is she tells that keep coming out 303 00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:37.839 like she was at a iHeartRadio Music Award, she got the Innovator Award presented 304 00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:42.880 to her by Stevie Wonder Iconic Iconic and then just casually, as you know, 305 00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:47.119 he's like announces her. He's like about to leave, and she's like, 306 00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:53.000 oh, thanks for playing the harmonica on Jolene, like what and it 307 00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:56.640 just like random to like, oh yeah, they willly Nelson to do like 308 00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:00.880 the background guitar likes like random legendary ship, Like she's really all about the 309 00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:03.599 details and it shows. Oh I love the one that for all produced the 310 00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:08.200 sweet Honey. Yeah that would go crazy too. But yeah, river Dance 311 00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:12.640 right now is like on repeat for my uh playlist. That's a good one. 312 00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:18.880 Okay, Okay, that's my damn a little squat Okay, guy. 313 00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:23.680 You know what, A lot of people are like criticizing the whole like writer's 314 00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:26.359 credit thing and how there's like a bunch of people on it. But I 315 00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:30.599 kind of like that she did that because a lot of people are finally getting 316 00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:34.400 like recognition that never did before, you know what I mean, So like 317 00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:38.640 now that all these songs are charting, Like Linda Martell, for example, 318 00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:41.920 just like is finally on the top one hundred on Billboard, which she deserves 319 00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:45.000 to be years ago, but I never had the chance, and had it 320 00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:49.160 not been for like giving her credit, you know, those kinds of things 321 00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:52.799 probably wouldn't have happened, So I applaud her for that. Yeah, and 322 00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:55.440 I guess, but it's like a lot of those artists that you think did 323 00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:56.920 all on their own, like they just exactly, they just haven't credited the 324 00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:00.880 people that they need to, yeah, books, whether it's in the songwriting, 325 00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:04.359 whether or like there's people like you see cases come up all the time, 326 00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:07.599 like hey, you actually stole that whole ship from me, you know, 327 00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:11.160 like like bands come out of nowhere, like actually, yeah, that 328 00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:14.599 sounds really familiar. I'm finally gonna get my piece for it. So exactly, 329 00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:17.920 I agree with you ab on that one, but I love it still 330 00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:22.240 running it exactly. I don't know if I have a favorite honestly my favorite, 331 00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:26.880 I I my favorite or might just like infatuated with it at the time, 332 00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:30.359 you know, like the Sun is coming out, that's a song like 333 00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:32.759 right when I get in my card as a song per song, I play 334 00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:36.200 and then I like play the album and then I feel like there's categories for 335 00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:37.720 me too, because I think about, like what's my favorite song, like 336 00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:42.240 vocally, what's my favorite song? Lyric wise? Dead lot? Yeah, 337 00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:47.480 fully becoming to me like an all time Beyonce record, Like it's the top 338 00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:51.319 five greatest song She's ever met. And I love Daughter. I really like 339 00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:55.720 Daughter. It's very like dark and very like Yeah, it's about Beyonce, 340 00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:00.519 like like a surface on the surface, it's like her getting rid of over 341 00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:03.759 some girl for doing god knows what. We think it's like cheating or something, 342 00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:06.480 you know. But then when you like peel back the layers and look 343 00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:10.079 deeper, like there's so many ways you can apply it. And I don't 344 00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:12.640 know, like lyrically, I really like that one too. Uh yeah, 345 00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:18.279 I love shit Talking Beyonce. Hot Take the Joline is not my favorite. 346 00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:22.079 Uh it's might be my least favorite from the album the least I'm going to 347 00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:26.079 the least for me. Okay, this is my thing. I love Beyonce 348 00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:32.119 like it's fun. I will listen to the cover there is I and I 349 00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:34.799 love Shittalking Beyonce. It's my favorite Beyonce of all the Beyonces there is. 350 00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:40.759 But there's nothing about Joeline that's like very vulnerable and like that's like the whole 351 00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:44.519 theme of the song, and like Beyonce is a vulnerable at all in it. 352 00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:48.359 It's more like fuck you you know what I mean, which I like, 353 00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:49.720 I said, I love shittalking Beyonce. But like for Joline, that's 354 00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:55.920 what makes the song so great is that Dolly is so vulnerable and so like 355 00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:00.960 defeated like in the record. So yeah, that's all I'll say about that 356 00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:04.720 one. Maybe you can interpret it both ways too, though, you know, 357 00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:11.680 like maybe if it wasn't Beyonce, but like like if if you're talking 358 00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:15.960 all this shit, like sometimes there are people, probably not Beyonce, but 359 00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:19.880 there are people that like talk hot shit because they're vulnerable, because there's insecurities 360 00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:22.359 there, you know what I mean. So if you look at it from 361 00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:26.400 that angle, maybe, but coming from Beyonce, she's not known to you 362 00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:29.960 know, she's known to be a bad bitch. Like yeah, yeah, 363 00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:33.839 well in that same message, I mean, no, I don't think that's 364 00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:36.720 being vulnerable, but I will say we already have anthem of that, Like 365 00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:40.640 sure it's being mad about the situation for sure, but I feel like we 366 00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:42.279 already got that with Ring the Alarm, Like that's that kind of anthem right 367 00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:45.759 there, So like that was kind of already fulfilled with me with Ring the 368 00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:48.559 Alarm, and I just wasn't getting Angeline, like Joelne's a record to be 369 00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:52.359 vulnerable and sad like, that's totally not what she's being at all in that 370 00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:56.480 record. If I have to choose between ring their Alarm and Joline ring the 371 00:24:56.559 --> 00:24:59.559 Alarm, yeah period, right right right. So as far as like the 372 00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:03.319 theme and the message, that was already fulfilled for me. But I'm not 373 00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:04.759 I'm not hating on now. I'm just saying like it's probably my least favorite 374 00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:08.279 for out of all the okay, all the songs, but I love that 375 00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:11.640 one. I think it's perfect. I'm gonna need her to hold off though. 376 00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:14.799 On and I was a tour tour. I'm gonna say I got the 377 00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:18.079 batch trip coming up, man. I got my off here ready. I'm 378 00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:23.440 wearing my Halloween Yeah, my Halloween costume. I was a cowgirl. It 379 00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:27.519 was so cute. I learned that to be next tour. So I got 380 00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:32.640 my offit covered. I don't have it like because that I don't have it 381 00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:34.839 owned, but I have a outfit already in my head. Okay, okay, 382 00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:42.839 yeah, yeah, yeah, I read I have a few literally Beyonce 383 00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:52.599 doing the culture always. J Cole absolutely not. Let's talk some TV real 384 00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:55.880 quick. I haven't really been on my TV game, but what I did 385 00:25:55.920 --> 00:25:59.079 do is for the very first time. Before I say this, you guys, 386 00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:00.119 I just want to let you know. When I was younger, my 387 00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:03.640 mom was so strict. I couldn't watch anything. Like I was not allowed 388 00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:07.759 to watch American Pie, which I'm gonna bet right now I still haven't seen 389 00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:11.160 ever crazy, but I was not allowed to watch anything. I was allowed. 390 00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:15.480 I watched wrestling. That's it. As a kid channel, you got 391 00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:19.279 wrestling. Yeah. I was able to watch wrestling Disney Channel, which oh 392 00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:22.400 quite on set. We're not even get to that, but I guess she 393 00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:29.319 watched some of those shows either, uh Nickelodeon. With that being said, 394 00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:32.799 these past couple years, I've been doing some catching up on some TV shows 395 00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:36.720 and I finally watched Sex in the City for the very first time. I 396 00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:40.680 actually just finished it last night. The series, Yeah, I get the 397 00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:44.039 hype. I did love it. It is. It's a great background show. 398 00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:48.319 Yeah, to have on I don't know. I don't know if it's 399 00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:49.640 because they finally put it on Netflix. I watched it on HBO though, 400 00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:52.720 but it's crazy, Like on my timeline, there's been so much Sex in 401 00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:56.799 the City like trends and talks and about how like Carrie because she's the main 402 00:26:56.880 --> 00:27:00.119 character. Now she's just like insufferable and like, what is like there's one 403 00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:03.480 right now where it's like, where's her worst moment and people are like stitching 404 00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:06.839 it it is, And yeah, I agree, But honestly, in the 405 00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:08.519 beginning because my friend, one of my good friends, Christina, she like 406 00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:11.359 already watched. She's the one that was like, you need to watch Sex 407 00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:11.680 in the City. So I was like, Okay, I watch it. 408 00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:14.839 I think we watched episode together. We had like a little wine night, 409 00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:17.799 and I was like, it's okay. But then I like got hooked on 410 00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:19.440 it, like I do. And the first couple of seasons, I was 411 00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:22.720 like, I don't get why people hate Carrie, Like I've sucked with her. 412 00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:25.240 I thought she had a personality, bitch. I don't know if it 413 00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:27.839 was season five, but when they cut this bitch's hair off, short hair 414 00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:32.559 was nice and they got rid of her personality when they got rid of her 415 00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:36.640 hair, because like, that's when she becomes insufferable. Samantha best character. 416 00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:38.559 Did you guys watch Sex and City? I was gonna say, I've never 417 00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:42.839 seen it either. I have seen like one of the movies they made it, 418 00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:48.000 unto a movie. I've never seen it. I saw one movie, 419 00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:52.680 No, not all of them, and I've never seen the show. Yeah 420 00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:56.799 there's like about it, right, like or like yeah yeah there's yeah, 421 00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:00.759 yeah yeah yea that the situation still remove. I don't know who's Sarah Jessica 422 00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:07.319 Parker's character Carrie Brett. Okay, I know the character Samantha, that's the 423 00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:11.319 one who doesn't come back, which now I totally understand why people were mad, 424 00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:14.799 because she literally is the best character. She's like I don't want to 425 00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:18.640 call her a home but she's very you know, she's open with her sexuality, 426 00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:22.039 like she obviously around with anyone she doesn't care. But she's also the 427 00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:23.880 reallest one and like the most truest to herself and very like I don't give 428 00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:26.079 a fuck. She tells me how it is. But she's also like low 429 00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:29.920 key the greatest friend on there. We love that. We love a good 430 00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:32.039 friend. She's such a good friend. And then there's this other girl, 431 00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:36.319 Charlotte. It's four friends. So Charlotte is very she's like kind of a 432 00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:40.160 prune, but I love her. She's actually my second favorite character. She's 433 00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:41.920 starting to teet to herself too, and she's a good friend. We love 434 00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:47.160 good friends we love? Are they all good friends or no? Carrie, 435 00:28:47.279 --> 00:28:48.319 it carries a little trash. I'm not gonna lie. She has some she 436 00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:52.839 has some moment. I literally just said she was a good friend. Carrie, 437 00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:56.720 Charlotte is a good friend. Oh sorry, sorry, I don't know. 438 00:28:57.200 --> 00:29:02.279 Is she like Phoebe? From Friends? You have to say people friends. 439 00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:04.279 She's one of my favorite characters, but I think out of all of 440 00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:07.000 them, she's like the most shittiest friend if you really look at it. 441 00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:11.759 What if you really look at them? Disagree? No, you can rewatch 442 00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:15.000 it? No, tell me, please give an example, Like I love 443 00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:17.839 Phoebe. I'm trying to think going off the in my head, but like 444 00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:22.519 she's always the one that's like looky, like not like she's the funniest one 445 00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:25.279 and everything, but like she's lokey, the one that like will put you 446 00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:29.680 down or will like say your ship out, like you know, Like I'm 447 00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:32.680 trying to think of an example, but you gotta watch it like low key. 448 00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:33.440 When you look at it, you're like, dang, like Phoebe, 449 00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:37.319 like that was that was harsh? You know. No, I'm gonna have 450 00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:41.440 to look back and you have no. I love her. She's one of 451 00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:44.759 my favorite characters. But when you look at it, she's so sweet to 452 00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:51.240 Joey. She's also really real, but sometimes it's like she like, out 453 00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:52.480 of all of them, she might be. I feel like she talks shit, 454 00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:56.079 but like it's a ship that they need to hear sometimes. Yeah, 455 00:29:56.839 --> 00:29:59.680 I've never heard her say an thing where I'm like, oh, that was 456 00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:02.559 so and Phoebe shouldn't sure I could find a TikTok on now send it to 457 00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:04.559 you, Okay, okay, Well, because I have my theory is that 458 00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:07.519 Ross is the most trash one out of all that. Oh he's yeah, 459 00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:14.119 he's a little He literally hooked up with one of his students. It was 460 00:30:14.119 --> 00:30:18.720 barely legal. Crazy uh like debated and almost dated one of Rachel's friends. 461 00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:23.240 Like if my boyfriend ex boyfriend ever dated my sister to even think about it 462 00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:26.880 is crazy. Like he respected her when she finally said no, but like 463 00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:30.160 the fact that he even thought about doing it. Yeah, trash. He 464 00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:33.799 uh shit it on Phoebe when like she thought that the cat was her dead 465 00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:37.480 mom. He's such an asshole, like damn bru let her think who's acount 466 00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:44.200 her dead mom? I would agree. I have to say Ross and Okay, 467 00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:45.680 maybe they weren't on her break but you didn't even wait twenty four hours? 468 00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:52.880 Yeah, like yeah, let me count the ways this man is crazy, 469 00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:56.759 great character, like he has this funny moment, but as a friend 470 00:30:56.759 --> 00:30:57.920 and as our person, I think he's the most trash one. I would 471 00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:02.119 say so too, Yeah, wouldn't sa Phoebe is what I would say. 472 00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:04.200 That's kind of I'd have to think about it, I think about I would 473 00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:10.119 have to, but I don't. I would like to hear one. Yeah, 474 00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:14.279 I disagree. I'll be back on Sex and City. Samantha best one, 475 00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:17.880 Charlotte Prune but second best. And there's Miranda, who I guess is 476 00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:22.240 cool, but like she's only kind of interesting when her boyfriend's around, like 477 00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:25.119 her small storyline. I'm like, oh, at the beginning, I liked 478 00:31:25.160 --> 00:31:26.119 her, but then I was like, huh, I just want her to 479 00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:30.880 get with Steve. So And the reason why I'm refusing to watch the movies 480 00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:33.960 is because, like I already rest of spoilers, like they have Samantha and 481 00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:37.920 her boothing breakup and they're like so cute together. I'm not ready to see 482 00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:41.359 that. Just stupid, and the writers have my girl fucked up? Will 483 00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:45.880 mad spoilers, but they give her cancer at the end. Samantha, there's 484 00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:48.640 actually a famous there's a famous gift of like a girl taking her wig off 485 00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:52.680 and like pointing, have you seen that? Gu No, I always see 486 00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:56.039 it on Twitter, like it's actually from Sex and the City. I was 487 00:31:56.079 --> 00:32:07.440 like the Leonardo TV, not her wing, like if it's gonna be like 488 00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:10.000 the first one that pops up, let me see, I'm gonna write, 489 00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:19.720 No, it's literally the second one. It's the slow motion point. Wait, 490 00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:24.200 Chris, I want to say, I want to see. I don't 491 00:32:24.200 --> 00:32:31.279 know if I could turn this around? Could that's all funny? So yeah, 492 00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:35.240 the iconic show. Maybe I'll continue. I don't know. I feel 493 00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:37.599 like avoid now that it's over. You know what I have watched though, 494 00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:44.559 not The City, but I watched Carrie Bradshaw's like her origin story. It 495 00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:49.920 was like this girl what is it called? It was Austin Butler was in 496 00:32:50.039 --> 00:32:52.759 it. It's like a documentary or something. No, it was like a 497 00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:57.119 I guess you would say a spin off, but it was Carrie Bradshaw as 498 00:32:57.200 --> 00:33:00.720 like a teen trying to make it in New York. Like it's like it's 499 00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:02.839 her beginning. It was an old show. It was only on for like 500 00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:06.559 a couple of seasons and then they canceled it. Let me look it up 501 00:33:06.599 --> 00:33:09.920 and see what it's called. Yeah, I guess that shit is iconic though, 502 00:33:10.119 --> 00:33:20.839 like it was called The Carry Diaries The Carried, starring Sophia Robb and 503 00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:24.559 Austin Butler. I literally love that show. I haven't seen Sake in the 504 00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:31.960 City, but origin, yes, it was so good. I love the 505 00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:35.839 c W, of course, I love like the c W. Shit, 506 00:33:36.119 --> 00:33:37.480 I love the CW. Maybe it's one of those things where you have to 507 00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:40.519 watch that first so that if you've already seen Sex in the City, it 508 00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:45.079 doesn't like yeah, yeah, yeah, I feel like I don't know, 509 00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:47.039 I don't know real sex and the City fans signed off in the comments, 510 00:33:47.079 --> 00:33:51.440 but have you seen this? Have you seen The Carry Diaries on? The 511 00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:58.799 looks crazy? But yeah, so it was. The Carry's love interest was 512 00:33:59.039 --> 00:34:01.920 Sebastian, who was Austin Butler. I loved that's so funny. It was 513 00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:07.279 on from twenty thirteen twenty fourteen. So another thing about Samantha, she always 514 00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:09.920 kept her a bad one, like she sucks the cutest guys. Really, 515 00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:14.719 she's that bitch. She's she is that, and she's rich, like she's 516 00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:16.679 the richest friend. We love thought she's like a publicist or like a pr 517 00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:22.840 agent or some shit. Good friend always gets with with hot guys rich let 518 00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:27.199 me count the ways. Yeah, like okay, that unapologetic about it. 519 00:34:27.239 --> 00:34:30.079 That's what's up period all around. She's so great respect. But we did 520 00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:35.719 just watch the Joker trailer. Yes, and I'm not gonna lie that little 521 00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:39.039 and shot was hard. The d shot the cinematography on it, who was 522 00:34:39.480 --> 00:34:43.880 directed, I don't know, put some lipstick as a smiley face and bro 523 00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:45.719 like smiles right into the lipstick. So no, that was hard. I'm 524 00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:50.519 not gonna lie. I am weird because it's supposed to musical, right, 525 00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:53.480 I didn't know that. I know they've been We were talking earlier like how 526 00:34:54.119 --> 00:35:00.440 off the off the record, how a lot of these like movies are hiding 527 00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:05.280 that there musicals because people probably hate musicals and they think no one's gonna go 528 00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:07.760 like exactly the color purple. I like, I found out like way later 529 00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:12.199 that that was so. I didn't know that that was one. I remember 530 00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:14.559 we had like how to do promo for mean Girls, and they were like 531 00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:15.840 saying, don't call it a musical. But I'm like, isn't the title 532 00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:19.920 literally like mean Girls the musical? Yeah, but it wasn't. It's not. 533 00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:22.599 I think it's just mean Girls. And then remember when they first dropped 534 00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:25.119 the trailer, everyone's mad because they're like, there's the music. Yeah, 535 00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:28.119 because I feel like that one was more known that it was going to be 536 00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:32.119 musical, so they like super tricked everyone. Yeah, but it's like half 537 00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:37.079 the their targeted audience knows it's a musical, right, and like now people 538 00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:38.760 will almost shit on it more because it's like ill, so it is just 539 00:35:38.800 --> 00:35:42.519 a remake. Like I feel like that's what almost made it more popular, 540 00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:46.480 Like that was done for them to hide it either, because why would you? 541 00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:51.760 And then the Wonka No Wonka is the one that I did. I 542 00:35:51.840 --> 00:35:58.360 was shook it. Yeah, I'm like, yeah they are, like I 543 00:35:58.400 --> 00:36:00.159 did. I feel like I saw a tweet but for I'm gonna have to 544 00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:04.519 double check. Don't quote me, but I did. I remember I saw 545 00:36:04.599 --> 00:36:08.519 like someone reported. I think it was like deadline or something that they're like, 546 00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:10.920 not only not only is it a musical, but they're like covering like 547 00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:16.280 known songs. Oh yeah, I wonder if that ruins it a little bit 548 00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:21.800 I feel like maybe yeah, because I'd rather see like original songs. I 549 00:36:21.840 --> 00:36:28.960 don't want Joker being like and after all, especially because like if you've seen 550 00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:32.400 the first one, like that movie is very like it's intense. Yeah you 551 00:36:32.400 --> 00:36:37.360 either loved it, Yeah, yeah, I love it, and lady I 552 00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:39.119 go on this one, Like if it was that same type of vibe, 553 00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:43.599 I think it would be a really great movie. She'd be a perfect Harley 554 00:36:43.639 --> 00:36:46.719 Quinn. Yeah, she's a great actress. Chemistry there and just the trailer 555 00:36:46.760 --> 00:36:51.519 alone is like there yeah. Yeah, So I'll probably still see it because 556 00:36:51.519 --> 00:36:54.559 I love and the first one was so good to me, so I down 557 00:36:54.599 --> 00:36:59.719 to go watch it. Definitely gonna be watching and being seated for Beatle Juice, 558 00:36:59.719 --> 00:37:02.320 Beatle Jeese. Yeah, same, same, I'm excited. I loved 559 00:37:02.360 --> 00:37:06.920 Beetle Juice as a kid. Loved Jenna Ortiga and what was the show she 560 00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:13.679 was Wednesday Wednesday? Loved her in that I'm not strange things you Yeah, 561 00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:17.199 and she's so cool and then all like most of the original cast is going 562 00:37:17.239 --> 00:37:22.320 to be in it again. I'm gonna writer so hard. Yeah, I'm 563 00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:25.480 excited watching the trailer and I watched it like a hundred times even my mom, 564 00:37:27.079 --> 00:37:29.119 Like it's like she's like, oh, we're seeing that. Yeah, 565 00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:35.519 can I come restie? Yeah a lot, her best friend I can coming 566 00:37:35.559 --> 00:37:39.320 along days. It's kind of kind of a topic. But there's a Beatle 567 00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:45.639 Juice restaurant in La I've been there twice. It's pretty sick everything. Yeah, 568 00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:49.360 it's pretty sick. I've been there twice. Definitely check it out. 569 00:37:49.400 --> 00:37:52.920 It's like a whole like like performance dining experience. So that's pretty cool. 570 00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:55.199 That's hard. Yeah, no, I will be seated. Yeah, general 571 00:37:55.239 --> 00:37:59.840 take. I feel like she's slowly becoming like the princess. She's so good, 572 00:37:59.840 --> 00:38:01.320 Like she's the only one that could do remakes, and like I'll be 573 00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:07.519 interested, especially it's like classic scary ones, like she killed it with Wednesday. 574 00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:09.559 She is a killer with this. Yeah, just her whole persona is 575 00:38:09.639 --> 00:38:15.840 so like, yeah, she just radiates dark spirits, you know, and 576 00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:19.400 she says she loves doing that, so you could tell she loves it because 577 00:38:19.400 --> 00:38:23.320 she's really good. She was in a movie that came out called Miller's Girl. 578 00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:30.039 It's not like a dark like scary vibe or goth or anything, but 579 00:38:30.079 --> 00:38:32.760 she also had like a dark aura to her character and she also played that 580 00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:37.280 well it's so good. Yeah. Yeah, I'm excited for Beetle Juice. 581 00:38:37.800 --> 00:38:39.039 I don't know if I'm excited for Joker, but I will be seated. 582 00:38:39.639 --> 00:38:42.840 I'll give it a chance. I'm gonna give a chance. I'll givebout the 583 00:38:42.840 --> 00:38:45.440 beast attentions.

I don't know why I have the twelve, but I think 589 00:39:04.639 --> 00:39:07.159 it's late April. In the twenties, let's see, that was the movie 590 00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:09.159 you said it was like one of your favorite movies of all time, but 591 00:39:09.280 --> 00:39:14.360 one of my favorite wrongs of all time. I don't know if I say 592 00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:16.360 top three or top five. You said like April twenty third, April twenty 593 00:39:16.360 --> 00:39:22.039 third, Okay, yeah, yo, everyone want making his debut and we 594 00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:24.599 will confirm if it's one of the best wrong coms. You don't, I 595 00:39:24.599 --> 00:39:28.599 love me a wrong com. So I'm excited for that, and I think 596 00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:32.119 I'm gonna go see Challengers. I asked for someone from our sales team that 597 00:39:32.199 --> 00:39:37.880 she could get me like tickets to the premiere. Okay, Yeah, and 598 00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:43.079 I heard the reviews and everyone says, it's like it's a really hot movie. 599 00:39:43.480 --> 00:39:45.599 I want to see it. A lot of three somes going on with 600 00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:49.599 you. She did say she wants to stray away from like that those young 601 00:39:49.760 --> 00:39:52.880 characters and stuff like that. Recently. I'm excited for what because she wants 602 00:39:52.920 --> 00:39:57.119 to grow up or something like that, and I like that. And sidebar, 603 00:39:57.199 --> 00:39:59.920 you know she's been doing like the press tour and stuff. The block 604 00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:02.280 mon is it. She's so smart. She's like, I dyed my hair 605 00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:06.400 because I wanted I didn't want to distract it from what was the movie before. 606 00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:10.599 She was just fromuddy Dune to Yeah. That's like that's some genius right 607 00:40:10.639 --> 00:40:19.199 there. And her looks the Tennis let's, but the blonde hair really doesn't 608 00:40:19.239 --> 00:40:21.639 her. I'm here for blonde and day. I feel like she should keep 609 00:40:21.679 --> 00:40:23.360 it. It's such a look. Yeah, that's what we're looking forward to. 610 00:40:23.559 --> 00:40:27.880 Let us know what you're watching on TV on Instagram. We are at 611 00:40:28.039 --> 00:40:34.519 Underscore f t R pod. I said, bit if you wanted to go 612 00:40:34.599 --> 00:40:37.719 to tailors. Just tell her brother you want to go to Taylor. You 613 00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:39.639 said that? Oh hell yeah, man, I laid it out right, 614 00:40:39.880 --> 00:40:46.320 I said, I said, I said, I said, bite bait. 615 00:40:47.400 --> 00:40:52.000 Wow. So much has happened, yo. I feel like it's been a 616 00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:57.559 hiatus, like a good month. Huh, consider that's a new season. 617 00:40:57.840 --> 00:41:00.960 I always wanted to release this like in season. But the only reason why 618 00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:02.960 I don't is because, like when I uploaded, it tells you, like, 619 00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:07.440 what episode? Yeah, like I want to celebrate when we get to 620 00:41:07.519 --> 00:41:08.880 episode one hundred, I feel like it's a new season. It's right. 621 00:41:09.159 --> 00:41:12.880 You got to start for episode and one yeah you know, yeah yeah, 622 00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:15.199 yeah it's weird, right, and then a little graphic that we put out, 623 00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:16.599 So, I mean, I guess the episodes. Dude, keep going, 624 00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:19.960 but this is kind of a new season, you know. That's that's 625 00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:22.960 why we took the little break. It's okay, but we just keep going. 626 00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:27.239 We had to let stuff we come back, you know, I mean 627 00:41:27.320 --> 00:41:31.559 technically shows don't. I don't know. The real reason was because March shows 628 00:41:31.639 --> 00:41:35.920 my birthday month. So we had to take a he off. That kicked 629 00:41:35.920 --> 00:41:37.320 it off. I had to take a there's a lot going on, y'all. 630 00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:46.000 My boss got a promotion, yes already, he's going to New York, 631 00:41:46.039 --> 00:41:50.239 which honestly, like if you know our boss, like everyone in the 632 00:41:50.280 --> 00:41:52.360 company always calls him like the smartest, the best, and that's what companies 633 00:41:52.360 --> 00:41:54.519 should do, Like your best should be at the best, like you should 634 00:41:54.519 --> 00:41:59.480 be at the number one market. It's totally you know, deserved. I'm 635 00:41:59.480 --> 00:42:01.320 so proud and happy for him. But yeah, I got the news. 636 00:42:01.360 --> 00:42:05.760 I'm not gonna lie. I was crying my little eyes out. And you 637 00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:08.719 know a lot of people in radio, like times have changed with everything, 638 00:42:08.800 --> 00:42:15.119 like just people being in office and like people like even talent, like they 639 00:42:15.119 --> 00:42:16.320 have to track a million shows like that used to be like unheard of, 640 00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:20.400 like everyone's live, doesn't matter what market you're in. So like, so 641 00:42:20.519 --> 00:42:22.679 much has changed. But one thing that like was big when I got here 642 00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:24.880 was like a lot of people have jumped a lot of stations, you know, 643 00:42:24.960 --> 00:42:28.000 like I kind of got a lot of shit because this was my first 644 00:42:28.000 --> 00:42:30.599 station and like it's number four in the market. Like usually don't get to 645 00:42:30.599 --> 00:42:32.079 be in your home market, so like I really had to prove myself that 646 00:42:32.119 --> 00:42:35.599 I deserve to be here. Because people don't know what you did before. 647 00:42:35.639 --> 00:42:38.119 You know, everyone has their own story. Right while people are moving markets, 648 00:42:38.159 --> 00:42:42.000 you know, they're having a lot of different bosses. So why this 649 00:42:42.039 --> 00:42:44.920 was so hard on me?

Like when I tell people 698 00:46:06.360 --> 00:46:07.840 I'm an only child, they're like, you're an only child.

Yeah, But what I 702 00:46:19.199 --> 00:46:22.000 was going to say was because of that, and I'm sure you can relate 703 00:46:22.079 --> 00:46:25.599 then that unfortunately, like you have to do everything, you know what I 704 00:46:25.599 --> 00:46:30.480 mean, Like like right now that my parents aren't here, I'm like making 705 00:46:30.519 --> 00:46:32.719 sure taking care of their stuff on top of my own things too because they're 706 00:46:32.719 --> 00:46:36.079 not here, you know, just things like that you're not love that, 707 00:46:36.119 --> 00:46:38.000 you don't love that. I am glad I'm able to help, but it 708 00:46:38.000 --> 00:46:42.199 can be a lot. Unless you're the oldest, you're still doing everything right, 709 00:46:42.599 --> 00:46:45.440 Okay, Yeah, well that makes sense. My family was gone for 710 00:46:45.480 --> 00:46:50.519 a month in January, and I loved being alone. I loved handling our 711 00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:53.360 pet. I loved like, yeah whatever, like paying their bills that they 712 00:46:53.400 --> 00:46:55.599 had. Yeah. Month, I was like, you know what, this 713 00:46:55.719 --> 00:46:59.760 is so fine. I think it's you're happy to help, and I like 714 00:46:59.800 --> 00:47:02.159 help, and I'm glad that I'm able to like, it'd be nice if 715 00:47:02.159 --> 00:47:06.280 I have some assistance. Sometimes I'm like, dang, I have to go 716 00:47:06.320 --> 00:47:09.079 home a lot. It was not a culture shop, but like a shock 717 00:47:10.000 --> 00:47:14.719 and I did live. I lived alone when I was in LA for like 718 00:47:14.719 --> 00:47:17.840 what six seven years, so I only had to worry about myself for those 719 00:47:17.960 --> 00:47:22.599 that times. So but again I'm glad I'm helping. But it was really 720 00:47:22.599 --> 00:47:23.599 busy in that way. Yeah, yeah, no, I feel it. 721 00:47:24.519 --> 00:47:30.360 I do have a small update on Carpenter by you guys. Wait, where 722 00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:32.199 did we last leave off? I don't even know. I don't know. 723 00:47:32.559 --> 00:47:37.920 I don't even think I put that episode out. But it's okay because completely 724 00:47:37.559 --> 00:47:39.519 date now. Okay, Oh, it's been a roller coaster. It's been 725 00:47:39.519 --> 00:47:43.880 a little bit of roller coaster, not as dramatic, but I will say 726 00:47:45.079 --> 00:47:47.880 things were going good. There was a little something in the road where I 727 00:47:47.880 --> 00:47:51.400 felt like he would just being like a little too nonchalant, Like some things 728 00:47:51.440 --> 00:47:54.719 came up and it was just like our communication wasn't good and we probably like 729 00:47:54.760 --> 00:47:58.079 went the longest of out seeing each other too. I mean, nothing crazy. 730 00:47:58.119 --> 00:47:59.639 I think it was just like a week or something. But usually like 731 00:47:59.719 --> 00:48:01.079 he has lands like in the middle of the week, which is totally fine, 732 00:48:01.119 --> 00:48:04.639 like we're just dating, so like don't even be seeing each other every 733 00:48:04.679 --> 00:48:07.079 day and every weekend. But it was just the way he was going about 734 00:48:07.119 --> 00:48:12.679 other things that was like rubbing me the wrong way. But we ended up 735 00:48:12.719 --> 00:48:15.039 seeing each other like that following weekend, and I kind of confronted him about 736 00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:17.760 it. I was just like, you maybe better. I just kind of 737 00:48:17.800 --> 00:48:21.280 like nudged him to be a better communicator, like in a playful way, 738 00:48:21.280 --> 00:48:23.440 and he was like, like, I think there was an instance where he 739 00:48:23.559 --> 00:48:27.960 kind of made plans. I don't even remember what happened, but I remember 740 00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:30.840 I changed my plants because off his word, you know. I was like, 741 00:48:30.920 --> 00:48:31.719 oh, I'm not going to go to the gym because he's plan of 742 00:48:31.719 --> 00:48:36.360 thing out and then it just like never fell through and it and but like 743 00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:38.639 he does it in a he's just not direct, and I'm such a direct 744 00:48:38.679 --> 00:48:42.599 person. Like he's very like, well, text me stuff that like kind 745 00:48:42.639 --> 00:48:44.760 of says that's not going to happen, but like just won't say it. 746 00:48:45.360 --> 00:48:46.719 And I'm like, at first, that's okay, but not when I'm like 747 00:48:46.760 --> 00:48:51.880 actually canceling plans because I think you're doing this and you're like beating around the 748 00:48:51.920 --> 00:48:53.840 bush like this just like annoys me a little bit, even more so I 749 00:48:53.920 --> 00:48:55.920 kind of told him. I was like, it's not a big deal. 750 00:48:57.000 --> 00:48:59.639 Like and honestly, that was like a night that I'm kind of glad we 751 00:48:59.679 --> 00:49:00.800 didn't hang out because I had a lot of stuff to had to wake up 752 00:49:00.840 --> 00:49:04.400 early in the morning. But at the same time, like you know, 753 00:49:04.440 --> 00:49:07.000 I kind of changed my plans, like it's like, you just gotta communicate 754 00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:08.679 with me. And he was like, oh my god, I'm so sorry, 755 00:49:08.679 --> 00:49:13.719 and like agreed, and like that weekend, honestly, guys, I 756 00:49:13.800 --> 00:49:15.280 was like and I thought I was getting serious, but we spent the entire 757 00:49:15.320 --> 00:49:21.159 weekend together. The entire Yeah, that was a little different, like all 758 00:49:21.280 --> 00:49:25.239 day a like went out that night, turned out at the bar. I 759 00:49:25.239 --> 00:49:32.320 posted his first of all his hand. It was like a boo was like, 760 00:49:32.679 --> 00:49:43.880 harl you hays like a figunail and the man's hand.

So I was like, oh, 768 00:50:14.880 --> 00:50:15.920 do you want to take two cars because you want to drive all the way 769 00:50:15.960 --> 00:50:19.639 back. He's like, no, let's take one car. Drops me off 770 00:50:19.679 --> 00:50:21.639 and is like he made an excuse like, oh, I have to use 771 00:50:21.679 --> 00:50:23.000 the restroom, but like didn't go to the restroom. We end up hanging 772 00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:25.800 out. So he had invited his friends over to watch the soccer game, 773 00:50:25.800 --> 00:50:28.840 which was like gonna start around eight or something, right, I think it 774 00:50:28.880 --> 00:50:34.079 was Mexico gets USA, and so plied him leavesuit and like he literally cancels 775 00:50:34.079 --> 00:50:36.840 his plans. We watched the game at my house. We order pizza, 776 00:50:36.880 --> 00:50:39.679 he orders beer and pizza, and we like how the whole night just watching 777 00:50:39.760 --> 00:50:43.840 soccer And then my ass I made him watch it last week because he never 778 00:50:43.880 --> 00:50:49.920 watched. But not him cutting on his friends to hang out with you right 779 00:50:49.960 --> 00:50:52.119 now, this is a really good weekend. Good spend the night again. 780 00:50:53.599 --> 00:50:57.480 We had like coffee in the morning and then went on with our lives. 781 00:50:58.280 --> 00:51:00.280 So when I tell you the entire week, the entire I was kind of 782 00:51:00.320 --> 00:51:02.719 like, oh not because it was getting serious. But I was like, 783 00:51:02.719 --> 00:51:06.760 well that was different, Yeah, like you enjoyed it. It was nice. 784 00:51:06.840 --> 00:51:12.440 Yeah, you guys. I got the biggest egg from him. What. 785 00:51:13.800 --> 00:51:15.639 I don't want to lead up to what led to this conversation because I 786 00:51:15.639 --> 00:51:19.760 don't want to like out anyone or anything, but he just gave me the 787 00:51:19.760 --> 00:51:22.800 egg. I don't know how we got to this point. He and we 788 00:51:22.840 --> 00:51:25.679 both were drinking, so I will say that don't blame anything on the alcohol. 789 00:51:27.400 --> 00:51:30.679 That's bullshit. And I okay before I like make all the excuses. 790 00:51:30.920 --> 00:51:35.280 Basically I was trying to hook up. He kind of said that. You 791 00:51:35.280 --> 00:51:37.280 know, he did tell one of his friends that he hung out with the 792 00:51:37.280 --> 00:51:39.360 girl the past weekend. That's why, because they were like, what the 793 00:51:39.400 --> 00:51:44.760 fuck? What happened to? Soccer and I were over and they made a 794 00:51:44.840 --> 00:51:46.239 joke like, oh, hook me up with like some of her friends or 795 00:51:46.239 --> 00:51:50.360 something, and I had mentioned someone that we both know and he was like, 796 00:51:50.400 --> 00:51:52.960 no, no, that's not his type. So I will say I 797 00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:54.599 was pressing in pretty car. I was like, what's wrong with this person? 798 00:51:54.719 --> 00:51:58.159 Like tell me, like what what what? He kept saying that it 799 00:51:58.280 --> 00:52:00.960 was like N's type that I kept pressing them, and he said, she 800 00:52:01.079 --> 00:52:06.800 does it. She's not that pretty and she doesn't have a nice body. 801 00:52:07.880 --> 00:52:14.639 She's not pretty and doesn't have a nice body to the floor. And I 802 00:52:14.679 --> 00:52:17.840 was just like in the moment, like obviously we're drinking. I still sucking 803 00:52:17.880 --> 00:52:22.679 up with him later, but the next day I was like, I just 804 00:52:22.719 --> 00:52:25.760 had the egg so bad because one, okay, you could fucking lie, 805 00:52:27.480 --> 00:52:30.519 I get I was pressing him that what I will say, you know, 806 00:52:30.559 --> 00:52:32.920 like whatever came out of him. I would never talk about his friends like 807 00:52:32.960 --> 00:52:37.199 that if they were the ugliest, fattest people ever. I don't never feel 808 00:52:37.239 --> 00:52:43.039 like your friends are ugly. Also, you would have had a no chanting 809 00:52:43.079 --> 00:52:50.480 tato period. No, yeah, crazy crazy you to like talk about friends 810 00:52:50.480 --> 00:52:52.960 and it just makes me not want to bring any of my friends around. 811 00:52:52.960 --> 00:52:58.119 No for real, Like it's it's cool to be honest, right, but 812 00:52:58.119 --> 00:53:00.320 you could easily be like, oh, my friend's on attracted to your friend. 813 00:53:01.079 --> 00:53:06.840 Exactly, that's not his friend. And I swear, yeah, that's 814 00:53:06.960 --> 00:53:09.199 kind of type of girls. Yeah, exactly. He could have said it, 815 00:53:10.519 --> 00:53:15.039 because did he say it on his friend's behalf or like on his behalf, 816 00:53:15.760 --> 00:53:19.840 on his friend's behalf. But he wasn't like he literally verbat of you 817 00:53:19.880 --> 00:53:22.559 guys. He was like that pretty shoesn't have a nice body. So I 818 00:53:22.639 --> 00:53:25.719 kind of like, like on both this is why I don't think he would 819 00:53:25.760 --> 00:53:30.519 like her. No, somebody said that, someone said that about my friends. 820 00:53:30.639 --> 00:53:34.559 It's over what the heck, Rockberry is so much to me. If 821 00:53:34.599 --> 00:53:39.360 you're gonna speak like that on my friends, I can't be with you like 822 00:53:39.360 --> 00:53:44.039 I have in the moment because I was even vetting to Angela about it, 823 00:53:44.039 --> 00:53:45.719 who might have been the wrong person because angelaue was just hyping me up because 824 00:53:45.719 --> 00:53:49.280 I was like, I'm about to ghost him, like I was so turned 825 00:53:49.320 --> 00:53:52.719 off by it, for real. It's just more like a sign of character, 826 00:53:52.800 --> 00:53:53.760 Like it's just like that. It's just like not a nice thing to 827 00:53:53.760 --> 00:53:58.559 say at all. It doesn't matter. And I also feel like when you're 828 00:53:58.639 --> 00:54:00.320 dating someone like everyone knows. I was like the golden rules, like to 829 00:54:00.320 --> 00:54:04.159 get to a girl like you get to her friends, vice versa. Like 830 00:54:04.199 --> 00:54:07.480 everyone, you usually want to win the friends and the family over. So 831 00:54:07.519 --> 00:54:09.079 for you to say that, it was almost like disrespect to me, Like 832 00:54:09.320 --> 00:54:14.840 yeah, you should be sucking all my friend's asset seriously, like she could 833 00:54:14.840 --> 00:54:19.280 be the ugliest person in the world like that really, so it was kind 834 00:54:19.280 --> 00:54:21.599 of like you need to calm the fuck down, and like, also, 835 00:54:21.679 --> 00:54:23.440 who the fuck are you guys like me? And there's ways to say it 836 00:54:23.639 --> 00:54:27.079 and my friends are hot, like and it just couldn't be less true, 837 00:54:27.079 --> 00:54:29.719 Like I'm not just saying like some I'm this, you know, because it's 838 00:54:29.719 --> 00:54:32.000 my friend, Like she is hulla pretty yeah, and like yeah, okay, 839 00:54:32.119 --> 00:54:35.400 she's not like super skinny, but she's not like a big girl either, 840 00:54:35.519 --> 00:54:37.960 you know. Like I just I was so turned off. It doesn't 841 00:54:37.039 --> 00:54:39.719 matter though I shouldn't even defending her in that way, Like it just was 842 00:54:39.760 --> 00:54:43.800 not cool to say so, like honestly, that whole that whole first week. 843 00:54:43.840 --> 00:54:45.920 It's been like two weeks now, but like I really was, like 844 00:54:45.960 --> 00:54:47.679 I'm fucking coasting him. I don't want to talk to him, Like I 845 00:54:47.840 --> 00:54:52.039 just really needed a moment to think. And I talked to Angela after, 846 00:54:52.400 --> 00:54:54.239 who, like I said, she was like, yeah, never talked to 847 00:54:54.280 --> 00:54:57.880 him again, and I'll text him back, I will say. And I 848 00:54:58.000 --> 00:55:00.199 talked to him another friend about this. It's not even that, but like 849 00:55:00.239 --> 00:55:02.920 I just personally am not the ghosting type. Like I think it good and 850 00:55:02.920 --> 00:55:05.679 I want to be that bad bitch, but like the other the day, 851 00:55:05.679 --> 00:55:07.000 I'm an a doll, like me and this person have literally has sex with 852 00:55:07.039 --> 00:55:09.239 each other, like they have hung out with each other. It's not like 853 00:55:09.760 --> 00:55:13.199 this guy just men. We've been kind of talking, like me and him 854 00:55:13.199 --> 00:55:15.159 have spent time together. So I think it does need to be a conversation, 855 00:55:15.239 --> 00:55:17.199 maybe in person, where I say I don't like the way you spoke 856 00:55:17.239 --> 00:55:21.840 with my friends and to never do that again. It's definitely I nearly said 857 00:55:21.840 --> 00:55:24.960 that out of like first fit of rage, Like if I heard that, 858 00:55:25.039 --> 00:55:28.840 I'm like, I'm talking to this motherfucker ever fucking again, do not talk 859 00:55:28.880 --> 00:55:31.400 to him. That's fucking rude, like swinging up on my friends like that. 860 00:55:31.599 --> 00:55:37.159 Hell nah bye. But you know, I also am not the ghosting 861 00:55:37.199 --> 00:55:40.119 type, so like, yes, you sat on it, I've sat on 862 00:55:40.159 --> 00:55:44.039 it. I agree. I guess it is my question like, is this 863 00:55:44.159 --> 00:55:49.000 worth like cutting someone completely off for for me? Yes, yeah, I 864 00:55:49.039 --> 00:55:52.360 would say yes, because first of all, you're disrespecting my friends you've never 865 00:55:52.519 --> 00:55:57.599 met, like we're dating. I would hope that we will get to a 866 00:55:57.599 --> 00:56:00.920 point where I will bring you abound my friends and family. But you are 867 00:56:00.960 --> 00:56:06.119 speaking person. Oh yeah friend right, Well, I don't know. I 868 00:56:06.119 --> 00:56:10.400 don't know how if they're friends. Uh. Oh, I didn't know that 869 00:56:10.440 --> 00:56:14.119 I know of her kind of thing. Yeah, I might edit this outh 870 00:56:14.119 --> 00:56:15.039 the podcast. I don't know, because I don't. I don't want this 871 00:56:15.079 --> 00:56:17.079 person know it's about her. But I will say, did I take you 872 00:56:17.119 --> 00:56:20.719 us when he got like points? Oh, I did not tell you this? 873 00:56:21.400 --> 00:56:25.199 Okay, fuck I really had this or not you guys, but in 874 00:56:25.239 --> 00:56:28.039 that moment when I said, we had a little stand where I thought he 875 00:56:28.079 --> 00:56:30.119 was being a little not too nonchalant, something that like got him points back 876 00:56:30.480 --> 00:56:34.360 and producer Chris, I don't know if you even heard this, but last 877 00:56:34.360 --> 00:56:37.239 time we talked to producer Chris, he's buying the camera. We were just 878 00:56:37.280 --> 00:56:39.000 talking about how he's been nonchally and the guys agreed that like he was like 879 00:56:39.039 --> 00:56:44.559 being kind of whack. So what gave him some points back is basically I 880 00:56:44.639 --> 00:56:46.920 uninvited him somewhere because he was being whacked. I didn't like his response to 881 00:56:46.960 --> 00:56:51.159 it. But the ball of my court, he was hell hitting me up 882 00:56:51.199 --> 00:56:52.239 that week to hang out and I kind of was like, oh, like, 883 00:56:52.360 --> 00:56:54.079 me and my friend are gonna be here tonight if you want to pull 884 00:56:54.159 --> 00:56:57.239 up. But me and my friend end up blacking out. You guys, 885 00:56:57.239 --> 00:56:59.440 she's she was going through a breakup. We like drank a lot. We 886 00:56:59.480 --> 00:57:01.519 went to five he spots. I remember seeing him at the bar when he 887 00:57:01.559 --> 00:57:04.599 told me he was there, and I don't remember the rest of the night. 888 00:57:05.079 --> 00:57:08.360 But this man drove from Redwick City to Oakland to meet up with us, 889 00:57:08.719 --> 00:57:12.599 dropped me and my drunk gast friend off to my apartment. I woke 890 00:57:12.679 --> 00:57:15.079 up to text saying like where you at come help me? Your friends in 891 00:57:15.119 --> 00:57:19.480 my back seat. Like he literally was like over an hour and like literally 892 00:57:19.519 --> 00:57:22.599 laid her down on my couch and went back to his house. So like 893 00:57:22.000 --> 00:57:24.880 took care of my drunk gust friend. So he got some points for that 894 00:57:24.920 --> 00:57:28.079 and drove and like literally took care of us. And I text him next 895 00:57:28.079 --> 00:57:29.719 morning like, oh my god, I'm so sorry I drank too much. 896 00:57:29.760 --> 00:57:32.199 Thank you for taking care of my friend and for your taking us home. 897 00:57:34.039 --> 00:57:36.599 And then that's when things started progressing, getting better from what I told you 898 00:57:36.599 --> 00:57:38.639 at the beginning. So this friend he's talking about is that friend that got 899 00:57:38.679 --> 00:57:50.159 blocked out, Oh yeah, first of all, but still on it like 900 00:57:50.199 --> 00:57:54.519 he saw her also blacked out via the drunk bitch.

But it's just 905 00:58:12.920 --> 00:58:15.039 like I'll think about that all the time. Yeah, like is he thinking 906 00:58:15.079 --> 00:58:19.719 about that?

But there's just ways to say it, like 990 01:03:16.679 --> 01:03:22.000 especially because it's your friend, and especially because if I like you, why 991 01:03:22.000 --> 01:03:24.239 would I say it like that? You know, yeah, and exactly, 992 01:03:24.280 --> 01:03:27.639 it's just like more to like is this the person you are? You know? 993 01:03:27.679 --> 01:03:29.599 Because like yeah, but like in the beginning, it's all good, 994 01:03:29.599 --> 01:03:34.119 everyone's nice and like this a gentleman, and it's like, yeah, actually, 995 01:03:34.239 --> 01:03:36.440 what if he is just like this diuchback frat boy. You know, 996 01:03:36.960 --> 01:03:40.480 That's kind of what I'm like, Well, it was a race flag. 997 01:03:42.960 --> 01:03:47.079 There's a race flag. You're starting to see his colors maybe, like you're 998 01:03:47.079 --> 01:03:51.079 starting to get to well, that's what dating is anyways, Like you you 999 01:03:51.440 --> 01:03:54.280 know someone and then like things go along and then you see you start seeing 1000 01:03:54.320 --> 01:03:59.880 who they are, like right, so this is you're seeing him unfold me 1001 01:04:00.079 --> 01:04:02.239 be like you just you don't know if you ever not want to like a 1002 01:04:02.280 --> 01:04:09.480 guy, get to know him. Yeah, no, no, that's so 1003 01:04:09.599 --> 01:04:13.360 true. Yeah, so I honestly, guys don't know where I stand still. 1004 01:04:13.400 --> 01:04:16.320 Like I've been joking him, we didn't hang out all this week, 1005 01:04:16.559 --> 01:04:20.239 I like reade every excuse of the book. I've really was coming down with 1006 01:04:20.239 --> 01:04:25.559 a little cold. I don't know, but but I don't know. See, 1007 01:04:25.639 --> 01:04:28.519 it's still leaving a bad taste in your mouth. It is weeks from 1008 01:04:28.559 --> 01:04:32.159 when it happened, So it's something worth talking about with him, I think, 1009 01:04:32.360 --> 01:04:34.360 because I'm just trying to think what is the best thing he could say 1010 01:04:34.400 --> 01:04:39.320 to me of me saying that, like obviously an apology, yeah, but 1011 01:04:39.400 --> 01:04:41.639 it would have to be like I was druking. I can't believe I said 1012 01:04:41.679 --> 01:04:45.599 that, And I just don't think he's going to say that because you don't 1013 01:04:45.639 --> 01:04:49.800 know, like, yeah, I mean maybe if there's an explanation or some 1014 01:04:49.880 --> 01:04:56.239 type of like there's not been an explanation an apology, but I'm just thinking 1015 01:04:56.239 --> 01:04:58.000 I don't think he's gonna respond in the best way. They don't, like, 1016 01:04:58.000 --> 01:05:00.440 there's only one way you could perfectly respond to this, and that's apologizing 1017 01:05:00.480 --> 01:05:04.079 out the ass and being like you're right, but it is it genuine then, 1018 01:05:04.280 --> 01:05:10.280 like like can you apologize for saying what you feel? Like? I 1019 01:05:10.360 --> 01:05:13.719 don't know, no, I would take a genuine apology, like even if 1020 01:05:14.400 --> 01:05:15.639 whatever, like that's how he talks to his boys, like you know what, 1021 01:05:15.719 --> 01:05:19.519 I'm sorry, like I was drinking like that that would it just gets 1022 01:05:19.519 --> 01:05:21.519 to me like that was foult.

I started out as an artist, and then I started 1124 01:11:50.000 --> 01:11:55.720 recording and the first studio that I worked at shutdown during COVID, and then 1125 01:11:55.760 --> 01:11:59.520 I worked at another studio like kind of like in the middle of COVID, 1126 01:11:59.600 --> 01:12:00.640 and then it got to a point where I was just like I had too 1127 01:12:00.680 --> 01:12:04.880 many ideas and I was just like, I think I've done this long enough 1128 01:12:04.920 --> 01:12:09.920 to be able to facilitate, you know, my own my own company, 1129 01:12:10.119 --> 01:12:14.239 Like I know I could do this, and I wasn't that was the goal, 1130 01:12:14.279 --> 01:12:16.880 but I wasn't necessarily trying to and I just kind of stumbled that stumbled 1131 01:12:16.920 --> 01:12:19.520 on that space by accident. I was just looking on Craigslist, being nosy 1132 01:12:19.680 --> 01:12:23.760 like we all do. Yeah, I got mentioned saved in my Zilla like 1133 01:12:24.680 --> 01:12:30.279 oh these cabinets three million dollar home. I would never jump exactly, but 1134 01:12:30.760 --> 01:12:33.600 no. I was just scrolling Craigslist one day, which is not a place 1135 01:12:33.640 --> 01:12:39.760 where you would think to get a like you know, we'll sketchy, but 1136 01:12:40.439 --> 01:12:43.680 no, I ended up Yeah, and I walked through and I was just 1137 01:12:43.760 --> 01:12:45.279 like I felt it, like I was like, this is my space, 1138 01:12:45.359 --> 01:12:47.479 like I feel it, you know, and it's a lot of space. 1139 01:12:47.520 --> 01:12:50.800 It's like two story. And I didn't have any investors. I was by 1140 01:12:50.880 --> 01:12:55.319 myself. You know, I didn't have a team. It wasn't even called 1141 01:12:55.359 --> 01:12:59.399 Studio X yet. It was just I just needed a studio to work out 1142 01:12:59.439 --> 01:13:02.479 of. And it's like I'm gonna figure it out. I figured it out. 1143 01:13:02.520 --> 01:13:05.359 I took a leap, and you know, sometimes that's dangerous, but 1144 01:13:05.640 --> 01:13:10.880 sometimes it's necessary. And it was very uncomfortable, and I didn't have any 1145 01:13:11.000 --> 01:13:14.239 real business experience on how to run a business. So you know, these 1146 01:13:14.279 --> 01:13:16.760 past three years, I've been learning in real time. My team has witnessing 1147 01:13:16.800 --> 01:13:21.960 me learn these lessons in real time. But it's worked out and we're expanding 1148 01:13:21.960 --> 01:13:26.039 and we just opened another location, so it's been cool. Do you think 1149 01:13:27.119 --> 01:13:30.680 being an artist first like helps you more with your vision on what you want 1150 01:13:30.680 --> 01:13:33.359 in a studio and like what you want for other artists on one hundred percent? 1151 01:13:33.399 --> 01:13:38.319 Because I think sometimes you know, you can get in the mindset of 1152 01:13:38.359 --> 01:13:41.039 I'm going to open a studio and I'm just gonna make passive income. It's 1153 01:13:41.039 --> 01:13:44.239 gonna run itself, which is ideal, Right, that's cool, but like 1154 01:13:44.359 --> 01:13:46.920 what else can you offer? Right? Like, there's all your competition does 1155 01:13:46.960 --> 01:13:51.359 the same thing, and you know, you might be a studio that doesn't 1156 01:13:51.399 --> 01:13:56.800 have the as much equipment as another studio, or like our studio, for 1157 01:13:56.840 --> 01:13:59.159 example, doesn't have a live room, so that's like, ah, we're 1158 01:13:59.159 --> 01:14:02.439 competing with people do have a live room. There's all these like audio components 1159 01:14:02.439 --> 01:14:06.640 that you know puts you in different lanes and leads than everybody else. But 1160 01:14:06.680 --> 01:14:11.520 it's like what else can you offer? And that's kind of when the artist 1161 01:14:11.600 --> 01:14:13.680 side of me is like, well, I wish, you know, when 1162 01:14:13.720 --> 01:14:16.560 I went to a recording studio, I wish that we did this or I 1163 01:14:16.600 --> 01:14:19.800 wish I had this, or I wish my studio taught me how to do 1164 01:14:19.840 --> 01:14:24.239 this, you know, instead of without having to go to school, because 1165 01:14:24.239 --> 01:14:29.079 I went to school to learn most of the music business y stuff, okay, 1166 01:14:29.760 --> 01:14:32.359 but to be able to offer it and get your song mixed the master 1167 01:14:33.079 --> 01:14:36.039 and shoot a music video, like have kind of a hub and a one 1168 01:14:36.039 --> 01:14:40.239 stop shop and a place to collaborate. That was kind of my goal, 1169 01:14:40.359 --> 01:14:44.239 right, because anybody could have a recording studio, but it's like who can 1170 01:14:44.319 --> 01:14:47.000 have like a center. It's like for artists by artists exactly. And it's 1171 01:14:47.039 --> 01:14:49.840 like, I'm not just trying to make some money off you or like my 1172 01:14:49.920 --> 01:14:53.319 lowest time, I just little side business, like it's actually failling for you. 1173 01:14:53.600 --> 01:14:57.920 Yeah, And it's like, you know, there's a lot of dialogue 1174 01:14:57.920 --> 01:15:01.199 about the state of Bay Area music and the music business and how we do 1175 01:15:01.239 --> 01:15:04.720 business and whatever, and a lot of times it's super negative and a lot 1176 01:15:04.760 --> 01:15:09.520 of times nobody is doing anything about it. We're just sitting here complaining. 1177 01:15:10.000 --> 01:15:12.000 And I got tired of that. I said, all right, I'm gonna 1178 01:15:12.039 --> 01:15:15.760 let y'all talk. While y'all talk, We're gonna build this thing. And 1179 01:15:15.840 --> 01:15:18.560 you know, we're slowly we're educating artists. We're showing them like, here's 1180 01:15:18.600 --> 01:15:23.119 how you do business after you make a song, you know, here's how 1181 01:15:23.119 --> 01:15:25.640 you work with a producer. Here's the agreements you need to have, here's 1182 01:15:25.760 --> 01:15:28.960 contracts, and break it down simply. It's not a big daunting thing. 1183 01:15:29.000 --> 01:15:31.600 I think a lot of people paperwork. It's not that it doesn't have to 1184 01:15:31.640 --> 01:15:33.960 be this big scary thing. You know. I need someone to tell them 1185 01:15:33.960 --> 01:15:38.319 that and show them that it's not exactly or just a proper like being a 1186 01:15:38.359 --> 01:15:41.520 part of a show that's ran properly. Like, you know, here's what 1187 01:15:41.520 --> 01:15:44.039 a running show is, right, what's the running show? It's literally just 1188 01:15:44.079 --> 01:15:47.319 a list of what time and schedule that everything, just simple things to kind 1189 01:15:47.359 --> 01:15:51.800 of just enhance our professionalism. And I think with doing that it kind of 1190 01:15:53.159 --> 01:15:56.560 raises the bars. So then everybody who works with us is like, oh, 1191 01:15:56.560 --> 01:15:59.960 that's the standard, right, because the standard that we're used to is 1192 01:16:00.279 --> 01:16:04.079 is low, right, low organization skills low. Well, we're raising it, 1193 01:16:04.159 --> 01:16:06.479 you know what I'm saying. And we're and they go somewhere else I'm 1194 01:16:06.479 --> 01:16:11.439 and be like, uh, they're ye. Like when you book at Studio 1195 01:16:11.680 --> 01:16:14.000 X, you get a notification, you get an email, you get a 1196 01:16:14.039 --> 01:16:16.479 text, you're part of a tech like you know, we just we've developed 1197 01:16:16.600 --> 01:16:25.039 this smooth process just to make it more professional and just feel feel real and 1198 01:16:25.399 --> 01:16:28.880 like a business. We're running a business, but it's also still a place 1199 01:16:28.920 --> 01:16:34.399 that people could come and feel free and create and it's a safe space. 1200 01:16:35.079 --> 01:16:38.760 I love that you're just like, let's just do this because like you said 1201 01:16:38.800 --> 01:16:41.520 about the narrative of like being our music being in some kind of place and 1202 01:16:41.560 --> 01:16:44.560 whoop to woop, Like I've had conversations with friends too, cause we're like, 1203 01:16:44.720 --> 01:16:46.680 it's not really like that, like when people keep saying like it's hello, 1204 01:16:46.760 --> 01:16:49.439 artists working with each other like the whole you know, Oh we're not. 1205 01:16:49.479 --> 01:16:53.439 We're not here for each other. It just like it's literally just you 1206 01:16:53.439 --> 01:16:55.560 guys talking. So I like how you're just like, well, I'm gonna 1207 01:16:55.560 --> 01:16:58.680 just be so in the community to the point where it's not even a conversation, 1208 01:16:58.680 --> 01:17:00.800 Like why are we debating this, Like clearly we're here and we're doing 1209 01:17:00.880 --> 01:17:04.800 it because it's not accurate, And I think that we get so fixated on 1210 01:17:04.880 --> 01:17:13.439 maybe like the top three big outlets that we don't it blinds us to what's 1211 01:17:13.479 --> 01:17:18.319 actually really going on, Like have you been outside of the lanes that you're 1212 01:17:18.359 --> 01:17:23.079 talking about a lot of people know they haven't. So it's like once you 1213 01:17:23.159 --> 01:17:26.760 start kind of really getting outside and in the community and going to different showcases 1214 01:17:26.800 --> 01:17:31.199 and seeing different types of artists, like we're really dope and a lot of 1215 01:17:31.199 --> 01:17:34.880 people do have our stuff together, you know, and so it's just kind 1216 01:17:34.880 --> 01:17:39.760 of merging communities. I think too, I have you know, when I 1217 01:17:39.760 --> 01:17:44.720 first started, I worked at a studio car tuned off Hagenberger, and I 1218 01:17:44.760 --> 01:17:46.880 had a lot of like more clients that made street music, right, Like 1219 01:17:46.920 --> 01:17:49.920 my clients weren't really in the streets, right, And then a lot of 1220 01:17:50.359 --> 01:17:54.399 clients that I have at Studio X are a little bit more artsy and young 1221 01:17:54.479 --> 01:17:59.479 and like, you know, cool, like Diby. You know. So 1222 01:17:59.840 --> 01:18:02.279 we've been doing is like we merged. I merged the people that I've known 1223 01:18:02.359 --> 01:18:08.720 forever plus these new clients, and like we're merging those worlds. So it's 1224 01:18:08.760 --> 01:18:11.800 not we're not that different. We all want to make news, really good 1225 01:18:11.880 --> 01:18:15.119 music said. The foundation is the same, Like even I mean just even 1226 01:18:15.159 --> 01:18:16.399 look at rap music, like people like to be like, oh, it's 1227 01:18:16.439 --> 01:18:23.880 conscious rap, where it's gangst rappers backpack. It's like exactly what's the foundation 1228 01:18:24.000 --> 01:18:27.439 is all the same, you know, So why can't we like collaborate and 1229 01:18:27.479 --> 01:18:32.359 work together? You know, why can't I have this alternative artist be in 1230 01:18:32.399 --> 01:18:41.960 the same room with my artists that you know, makes like you know what, 1231 01:18:42.439 --> 01:18:45.680 like you know, just like why we can't merge them? And they 1232 01:18:45.880 --> 01:18:48.520 we do merge them and in our camps like we have, we have artists 1233 01:18:48.520 --> 01:18:54.399 from all different genres, you know, and we'll have them collaborate, which 1234 01:18:54.439 --> 01:18:58.680 is cool because they probably wouldn't have collaborate or cross paths. And even if 1235 01:18:58.720 --> 01:19:00.600 it's not just like, oh, let's merge our two sounds, you're rock 1236 01:19:00.640 --> 01:19:03.479 and alternative, Like it's like, oh you nice on the drums, like 1237 01:19:03.479 --> 01:19:05.800 I'm a rapper, but can you do this? You know? Like it 1238 01:19:05.800 --> 01:19:09.800 could be anything. So I love that you're creating that community. And I 1239 01:19:10.239 --> 01:19:13.960 know you also have like a bunch of events throughout studio acts. Let's talk 1240 01:19:14.000 --> 01:19:17.159 about running back, Running Back, Yes, I hosted our sisensation. Big 1241 01:19:17.199 --> 01:19:20.199 Vaughan shout out to the homie because he discovered the artists. I forgot her 1242 01:19:20.239 --> 01:19:26.359 name three leaves, Yes, is that what the songs called fire like he 1243 01:19:26.399 --> 01:19:28.279 played for me. I was like, this is so dope. You have 1244 01:19:29.439 --> 01:19:31.159 to say, I gonna to sign that my music director because it's fire. 1245 01:19:31.239 --> 01:19:34.600 But absolutely, yeah, so tell us about running back. So running back 1246 01:19:34.680 --> 01:19:39.479 is something that we started. So when we first started it was on Twitch 1247 01:19:40.159 --> 01:19:42.760 and a shout out and so you've been doing it, Yeah, we've been 1248 01:19:42.800 --> 01:19:46.640 doing it like probably within our like first year, within our second year, 1249 01:19:46.680 --> 01:19:50.239 I think we started it. And I have a lot of DJ friends, 1250 01:19:50.319 --> 01:19:56.880 and when I was an artist, I learned the importance of relationships with DJs 1251 01:19:56.960 --> 01:20:00.800 right like I when I was making music, it was I was like in 1252 01:20:00.840 --> 01:20:05.760 the transition era from like flyers and like gorilla marketing to like social media. 1253 01:20:05.920 --> 01:20:11.640 So I had like a hybrid of experience. But I remember being in faces 1254 01:20:11.680 --> 01:20:15.479 of DJs was like one of the most important things that you could do because 1255 01:20:15.520 --> 01:20:18.000 they outside, like there are some masses do like your song because I played 1256 01:20:18.039 --> 01:20:20.920 it outside and for all these people. Yeah, and more times than not, 1257 01:20:21.960 --> 01:20:26.439 DJs do want to play your record, like you know, they do 1258 01:20:26.600 --> 01:20:30.359 want to break local talent as some capacity. But there's like I feel like 1259 01:20:30.399 --> 01:20:35.159 there's a gap and it really just could be filled by communicating. That's it, 1260 01:20:35.399 --> 01:20:41.439 so you know, I was no stranger to going outside finding what DJs 1261 01:20:41.439 --> 01:20:44.560 are going to be where, having a USB with my DJ pack like and 1262 01:20:44.560 --> 01:20:49.800 building these relationships over the years. So I was like, how can we 1263 01:20:50.439 --> 01:20:55.319 how can we link artists that we work with and DJs that I know? 1264 01:20:55.880 --> 01:21:00.239 So we started doing this thing where it was on a Twitch and we would 1265 01:21:00.239 --> 01:21:01.880 have a DJ come in spend for an hour, and then the second hour 1266 01:21:01.960 --> 01:21:04.920 we would just do music reviews, like what does a DJ think about this 1267 01:21:05.000 --> 01:21:09.119 record? Because I could say what I think about it as an artist as 1268 01:21:09.119 --> 01:21:12.640 a but the person that's gonna play it is the most important person, right, 1269 01:21:13.279 --> 01:21:16.800 So we started doing these running backstreams. We did one move on back 1270 01:21:16.800 --> 01:21:20.920 in the day We've done with all types of DJs, shell Heart, Tussy, 1271 01:21:21.520 --> 01:21:26.840 and they were fun and people were tuned in and it was on Twitch 1272 01:21:26.880 --> 01:21:30.079 and it was cool, and I was just like, how can we How 1273 01:21:30.079 --> 01:21:33.680 can we make this more interactive? And I was like, let's make it 1274 01:21:33.720 --> 01:21:39.199 like a music review showcase and so it's kind of the same format, but 1275 01:21:39.239 --> 01:21:42.960 now it's in person, so you know, the DJ will come spend for 1276 01:21:43.000 --> 01:21:45.359 like an hour so they can you know, get their shine on and their 1277 01:21:45.399 --> 01:21:49.800 craft, and then we have Round one where the artists will play their song, 1278 01:21:50.199 --> 01:21:55.000 and then Round two where the top like five people from Round one get 1279 01:21:55.000 --> 01:21:58.439 to perform their song, and so they'll get critiqued on different things. And 1280 01:21:58.680 --> 01:22:01.359 it's a cool way to build commune. It's a cool way to support your 1281 01:22:01.359 --> 01:22:04.920 friends. It's a cool way to see what the DJ thinks about your record 1282 01:22:05.199 --> 01:22:10.319 in a safe space that you know. Sometimes it's not ideal to give your 1283 01:22:10.359 --> 01:22:13.000 record to a DJ in the middle of their set. They're not going to 1284 01:22:13.039 --> 01:22:15.760 play it and give you their feedback, right, It's a horrible way to 1285 01:22:15.800 --> 01:22:17.359 do it. It's cool to hand them a USB and say, hey, 1286 01:22:17.439 --> 01:22:19.239 later when you get a chance, let me know what you think of your 1287 01:22:19.239 --> 01:22:21.920 record. But this is a place where that's all they're here to do, 1288 01:22:23.359 --> 01:22:26.720 right, So that'll feel like you're bugging them. It's not left in their 1289 01:22:26.720 --> 01:22:30.119 spam fold or somewhere on exactly you know, like this is this is live 1290 01:22:30.159 --> 01:22:33.800 in person. So that's how it's my vie for both sides. It's like 1291 01:22:34.000 --> 01:22:39.279 you get to hear live music, little club slash American idol situation and build 1292 01:22:39.359 --> 01:22:43.640 community, right and and build these relationships with these DJs that you might have 1293 01:22:43.720 --> 01:22:46.520 been too scary to approach. You know, you never know, So it's 1294 01:22:46.600 --> 01:22:49.960 now a safe space. You can go up to Big Vaughan you might not 1295 01:22:50.199 --> 01:22:56.359 go up to in real life and be like, yeah, this is all 1296 01:22:56.399 --> 01:23:00.960 it's constructive and if you know, if you take the feed back seriously, 1297 01:23:00.439 --> 01:23:03.640 you can really start crafting some really dope records if you keep their feedback in 1298 01:23:03.640 --> 01:23:06.239 mind, and you don't who you're gonna beet there. Also, the DJ's 1299 01:23:06.239 --> 01:23:10.319 are bringing their DJ friends, their radio friends, you know, other artists 1300 01:23:10.359 --> 01:23:15.279 that are there. Like last when when Vaughn was there, Adrian Marcel pulled 1301 01:23:15.359 --> 01:23:18.279 up and you know, he was playing his record and he he guest judged 1302 01:23:18.279 --> 01:23:21.600 for us, you know, and that's somebody who has sold quite a few 1303 01:23:21.600 --> 01:23:25.760 records, so you know, you're getting his feedback as an artist, you're 1304 01:23:25.760 --> 01:23:30.119 getting Von's feedback as a legend in radio, you know. And then we 1305 01:23:30.199 --> 01:23:35.520 had I had my homegirl, Et Beney. She's like a marketing whiz genius, 1306 01:23:35.560 --> 01:23:39.279 and so she was kind of giving her marketing feedback. So you had 1307 01:23:39.279 --> 01:23:44.800 these three really cool perspectives to really gauge where you're at. And I think 1308 01:23:45.319 --> 01:23:48.399 that's what we do. I love that he's like not just in radio like 1309 01:23:48.920 --> 01:23:56.640 DJ for like and then you also have jam sessions. Yeah, that's another 1310 01:23:56.760 --> 01:24:00.279 event outside of running back, but connected to Studio X as well. Talk 1311 01:24:00.359 --> 01:24:02.640 about the jam sessions. So the jam session started at the studio too, 1312 01:24:02.800 --> 01:24:08.760 and it's just like they got those got so big that we couldn't fit all 1313 01:24:08.800 --> 01:24:13.640 those people in downstairs. So y'all were going to the studio. Yeah. 1314 01:24:13.720 --> 01:24:15.319 So our studio is like a lot of space, right and you're more than 1315 01:24:15.359 --> 01:24:18.239 welcome to pull up whenever you want. But downstairs is like kind of an 1316 01:24:18.239 --> 01:24:21.119 open floor plan and we have like couches and it's more you know, where 1317 01:24:21.119 --> 01:24:25.399 we do our camps and writing sessions and stuff like that. Upstairs is our 1318 01:24:25.439 --> 01:24:29.199 studio. It's a smaller studio, so it might comfortably fit like ten people 1319 01:24:29.279 --> 01:24:34.159 absolute max. That's even pushing it eight. But yeah, so we would 1320 01:24:34.159 --> 01:24:39.479 do our jam sessions like downstairs in the open area and we would just we 1321 01:24:39.640 --> 01:24:44.960 just called our musician homies. And Tyler from the studio. She's an amazing 1322 01:24:45.000 --> 01:24:47.119 sing I think I think you interviewed her back in the day. Oh I 1323 01:24:47.159 --> 01:24:55.880 don't know, maybe Tyler Reese Okay, but she's an amazed she's an amazing 1324 01:24:55.960 --> 01:25:00.039 vocalist songwriter. She's also an engineer and a vocal producer. But she it 1325 01:25:00.199 --> 01:25:02.279 was like a big network of musicians and stuff. So I said, let's, 1326 01:25:02.319 --> 01:25:04.720 uh, let's set up like some type of jam situation. It's a 1327 01:25:04.720 --> 01:25:08.840 build community. And that's how it started. And we would do the like 1328 01:25:08.920 --> 01:25:12.319 bi monthly and they got bigger and bigger and more people wanted to go, 1329 01:25:12.399 --> 01:25:14.600 like, hey, can I go to that jam? And I was like 1330 01:25:14.640 --> 01:25:18.079 okay. So last year we did our first one with an audience, and 1331 01:25:18.159 --> 01:25:23.920 so we kind of make it interactive. So Tyler will host and ask people 1332 01:25:24.000 --> 01:25:27.039 like, you know, how are you feeling? Give us a word or 1333 01:25:27.159 --> 01:25:30.039 you know whatever, and you know, people in the audience will give a 1334 01:25:30.079 --> 01:25:32.520 word and then the band will just jam off that and just feel like, 1335 01:25:32.600 --> 01:25:38.119 let's say you want to say like magical. Yeah, Tyler would just start 1336 01:25:38.199 --> 01:25:42.880 humming something about magical and then you know, drums of kicking and the basso 1337 01:25:43.000 --> 01:25:45.760 kicking and the and it'll just be and it's like two or three hours of 1338 01:25:45.960 --> 01:25:50.479 just like live improv music. We have. We have a really really good 1339 01:25:50.479 --> 01:25:55.000 time doing those and that we just did Wet with Kept Choice last week and 1340 01:25:55.079 --> 01:25:59.119 so that's another one of our events that we do and it has nothing to 1341 01:25:59.159 --> 01:26:02.479 do with the running backs. So the running backs are more like DJ artist 1342 01:26:02.600 --> 01:26:09.720 relationships. This is now musician artist community. That's so dope healing. It's 1343 01:26:09.720 --> 01:26:13.159 like it gets real sometimes it gets churchy, and then it gets real ratchet 1344 01:26:13.199 --> 01:26:16.279 sometimes you know. Yeah, it's all about balance, it is. And 1345 01:26:16.359 --> 01:26:18.560 so yeah, that's what we do. And that one is more for like 1346 01:26:18.640 --> 01:26:23.960 our musician and vocalist community, and I'm sure like people make a bunch of 1347 01:26:24.000 --> 01:26:28.039 connections there as well. Absolutely absolutely, like you might if you're an artist 1348 01:26:28.119 --> 01:26:30.840 and you're looking to put together a band, like, definitely come to a 1349 01:26:30.880 --> 01:26:33.479 jam session because you might find your next drummer there, or you might find 1350 01:26:33.479 --> 01:26:36.319 a background singer. This I want to go. I don't want to contribute, 1351 01:26:36.319 --> 01:26:39.279 I'll have no musical abilities, No, I just want to be there. 1352 01:26:39.479 --> 01:26:42.600 Yeah, we're absolutely going to invite you to the next one. Let's 1353 01:26:42.640 --> 01:26:45.359 fire. So far, are you guys at the point where you're like going 1354 01:26:45.399 --> 01:26:48.159 to different locations for the jam sessions? Yeah? Okay, So last summer 1355 01:26:48.159 --> 01:26:53.359 we were doing them on a rooftop in Oakland. We just didn't want at 1356 01:26:53.359 --> 01:26:58.479 ground floor in Oakland which is like a shared like workspace community club thing, 1357 01:26:58.520 --> 01:27:01.000 but is really really pretty in there. And I feel like, yeah, 1358 01:27:01.039 --> 01:27:03.359 with like so many new restaurants and stuff opening up, it's like a good 1359 01:27:03.399 --> 01:27:06.840 networking for you too, like let's host this. Yeah, I think a 1360 01:27:06.840 --> 01:27:12.560 lot of I think as we grow it and you know, get our marketing 1361 01:27:12.600 --> 01:27:15.359 together, I think a lot of like I want to do one in like 1362 01:27:15.399 --> 01:27:19.119 a nursery or with something with really plan and you know, like I think 1363 01:27:19.159 --> 01:27:25.000 we can just keep changing a coffee shops. Coffee shop, Yeah, just 1364 01:27:25.079 --> 01:27:28.560 anywhere anywhere that's a vibe, right, because it's it's definitely like a vibe 1365 01:27:28.720 --> 01:27:31.199 experience that's crazy. Yeah, you got to come to one. It's so 1366 01:27:31.239 --> 01:27:34.079 fun. No, I really let me know the next one. I'll definitely 1367 01:27:34.119 --> 01:27:38.520 be there. Man. It's just like so much from the studio that you 1368 01:27:38.600 --> 01:27:41.680 got going on with that, and then you're an artist yourself, I am, 1369 01:27:42.079 --> 01:27:45.680 Are you still making music? I haven't made music in a really long 1370 01:27:45.720 --> 01:27:47.520 time, so I'm not going to say I'm not making music. Like there's 1371 01:27:47.840 --> 01:27:51.359 a hundred at least one hundred songs in my in my card yards. And 1372 01:27:51.439 --> 01:27:55.119 I was stocking your Instagram and I saw one pust You're like came out of 1373 01:27:55.119 --> 01:27:59.479 retirement. I was like, words too. Yeah, I just dropped the 1374 01:27:59.520 --> 01:28:02.000 I dropped the project last like the end of last summer. It was called 1375 01:28:02.000 --> 01:28:06.479 Single for the Summer and that has some cool songs on it. But yeah, 1376 01:28:06.520 --> 01:28:13.760 I think I like making music. It's just like it's so taxing sometimes 1377 01:28:13.840 --> 01:28:16.680 too, just because I'm facilitating so many, so many other things. But 1378 01:28:16.760 --> 01:28:19.239 I do know, just for myself, for my mental health, for my 1379 01:28:19.319 --> 01:28:24.520 sanity, I do need to balance it a little better and make records because 1380 01:28:24.560 --> 01:28:27.720 I know I still have more things to say. But I think just pivoting 1381 01:28:27.760 --> 01:28:32.600 too, like I'm like a business lady now, Like I don't know what 1382 01:28:32.760 --> 01:28:35.239 to say in the songs because I'm like, this ain't even accurate. I'm 1383 01:28:35.239 --> 01:28:41.680 not even living like that right now, Like I don't it's gonnas. This 1384 01:28:41.760 --> 01:28:45.640 is not responsible of me for to say. Like, so it's kind of 1385 01:28:45.680 --> 01:28:49.319 difficult to find that balance and that duality because it's like I've grown so much 1386 01:28:49.960 --> 01:28:58.000 New Years, it's all Karina with the X that was in Karina, and 1387 01:28:58.039 --> 01:29:00.439 I just changed my name too, and then I got all business sees. 1388 01:29:00.520 --> 01:29:03.039 So I don't know, I don't know, but I do still make music 1389 01:29:03.079 --> 01:29:05.680 to answer your question, and I do a lot of like songwriting, gigs 1390 01:29:05.680 --> 01:29:08.920 and stuff. I just wrote a song, wrote a couple of songs for 1391 01:29:08.960 --> 01:29:12.479 this artist named Dred Dominique based in San Diego. So yeah, we're still 1392 01:29:12.479 --> 01:29:16.359 writing. And you were nominated for Grammy. Yeah some light talk about that. 1393 01:29:16.439 --> 01:29:23.920 Oh yeah, I'm talking about My So that happened too long. I 1394 01:29:24.039 --> 01:29:29.800 mixed the project for Apprentice Palell and Sean William and it was a spoken word 1395 01:29:29.840 --> 01:29:33.479 album, so it's pretty cool, and they got nominated and it's a new 1396 01:29:33.520 --> 01:29:36.720 it's a new category, so I think it was second year of the category. 1397 01:29:36.920 --> 01:29:40.600 And yeah, we got nominated. And I was like, they told 1398 01:29:40.640 --> 01:29:42.359 me that too. They were like when I mixed it, they're like, 1399 01:29:42.439 --> 01:29:44.760 yeah, we're gonna try to get nominated, and I was like, I 1400 01:29:44.800 --> 01:29:46.399 didn't think they couldn't. But I was just like, that's a it just 1401 01:29:46.399 --> 01:29:49.880 sounds like, yeah, can I just mix it first, like we don't 1402 01:29:50.199 --> 01:29:55.199 right, you know, no pressure, trying to get some grammar and they 1403 01:29:55.239 --> 01:29:58.600 were like no, we're simitting instagramma and I'm like okay, like all right, 1404 01:29:58.640 --> 01:30:00.760 and it ended up getting nominated and I was like, yo, okay, 1405 01:30:00.840 --> 01:30:03.039 what I'm feeling like like just being part being a part of that. 1406 01:30:03.680 --> 01:30:10.399 It was crazy because like the Grammys, the Grammys seems like this big mystical 1407 01:30:10.680 --> 01:30:15.680 organization and they're really not like a huge mystery. Like you can be a 1408 01:30:15.720 --> 01:30:18.359 part of the academy. It's not that hard if you're a music professional. 1409 01:30:18.720 --> 01:30:21.840 And they want more people to be a part of it, any more people. 1410 01:30:23.039 --> 01:30:26.119 Yeah, they need more people. And I think I think this coming 1411 01:30:26.159 --> 01:30:30.039 year is going to be a really good year just for how they're expanding. 1412 01:30:30.600 --> 01:30:33.880 And uh, I started. I started working with the Grammys when I was 1413 01:30:33.880 --> 01:30:38.479 in college. You ever heard of Grammy You. So Grammy You is a 1414 01:30:38.479 --> 01:30:42.159 college extension of the Grammys, right, So it's their program that they they 1415 01:30:43.000 --> 01:30:45.720 do for college kids and you pay like a really small fee, it's like 1416 01:30:45.720 --> 01:30:50.000 one hundred bucks, I don't remember, and you're a part of Grammy You 1417 01:30:50.119 --> 01:30:55.199 for your entire entire college career and then two years or something after you graduate. 1418 01:30:55.600 --> 01:30:59.560 So with that, any college, not any college, but any college 1419 01:30:59.560 --> 01:31:03.119 that they're in, they'll send a rep. Usually if you're in like a 1420 01:31:03.199 --> 01:31:08.560 music class. So I was in I was taking a music I was having 1421 01:31:08.720 --> 01:31:12.760 doing a music degree, So they had a Grammy rep Grammy U rep come 1422 01:31:12.800 --> 01:31:15.319 in and that's how I learned about it and I signed up instantly. Because 1423 01:31:15.359 --> 01:31:18.520 you got I would invited to all of the events that they were throwing. 1424 01:31:18.560 --> 01:31:20.720 This was pre COVID, so they had a lot of stuff going on, 1425 01:31:21.359 --> 01:31:24.279 so you get to do all that for free, and then they would let 1426 01:31:24.319 --> 01:31:27.560 you do sound checks. You get to go to certain people's sound checks. 1427 01:31:27.880 --> 01:31:30.840 So I went to Janelle Montet sound check, I went to how You Saying 1428 01:31:30.840 --> 01:31:34.640 the Khalid I went to his sound check. They did a songwriting thing. 1429 01:31:35.119 --> 01:31:40.039 Melissa Edthridge. I played a song for her, like for some songwriting. 1430 01:31:40.239 --> 01:31:42.239 She was like, I got goosebumps. I said, I know that's right. 1431 01:31:43.840 --> 01:31:46.960 Yeah, I just got crazy. And then they'll give you if you're 1432 01:31:46.960 --> 01:31:50.840 really saucy, they offer a mentorship and you apply to a mentorship. So 1433 01:31:50.920 --> 01:31:56.079 I got paired up with the guy who remember Foster and the Pizzy was really 1434 01:31:56.119 --> 01:31:59.960 say Sacy, but he worked on the The Foster and the People Out, 1435 01:32:00.279 --> 01:32:01.520 So he had like this, I don't remember if it's diamond or platinum, 1436 01:32:01.520 --> 01:32:06.279 but it was one of them platus like Crazy and Hicks Pumped Up Kicks. 1437 01:32:06.800 --> 01:32:11.159 Yeah, he produced on that album. So he had his accolades, and 1438 01:32:11.159 --> 01:32:14.000 they paired me up with him on some like production stuff and I'm like, 1439 01:32:14.039 --> 01:32:16.479 I am not a producer, like I don't like making beats. I don't 1440 01:32:16.520 --> 01:32:20.039 like producing. I don't. I was so against it. I was like 1441 01:32:20.239 --> 01:32:24.680 my engineer like I don't, or I'm I'm an artist, like I don't 1442 01:32:24.680 --> 01:32:30.920 make the beats. He insisted, right, and uh. He had me 1443 01:32:30.039 --> 01:32:33.800 like on an old school lendrum from the eighties and it was like a drum 1444 01:32:33.800 --> 01:32:38.600 machine thing, and I ended up producing a really dope song that I actually 1445 01:32:38.680 --> 01:32:40.520 that's the one I played for Melissa Ethers. She's like, oh, they 1446 01:32:40.520 --> 01:32:43.359 give me a use once. So I was just like yo, full stuck 1447 01:32:43.399 --> 01:32:45.199 a moment. But I say all that to say, like he's my mentor. 1448 01:32:45.239 --> 01:32:49.039 Is the reason like I've had sync placements and stuff like Grownish and et 1449 01:32:49.039 --> 01:32:54.239 cetera, et cetera, because I worked with him and he showed me kind 1450 01:32:54.239 --> 01:32:56.920 of how to do it and who to talk to. So anyways, I 1451 01:32:56.920 --> 01:33:00.039 say all that to say the Recording Academy is like a lot more accessible than 1452 01:33:00.079 --> 01:33:05.520 people think, and they offer a lot of resources for professionals. I'm glad 1453 01:33:05.560 --> 01:33:10.680 you tried producing, though I know you're like I hate it because you're trying 1454 01:33:10.720 --> 01:33:12.600 everything, might as well try it. Yeah, no, not for me. 1455 01:33:12.640 --> 01:33:14.840 Have you ever tried to make it be before? No, it is 1456 01:33:14.960 --> 01:33:16.520 not. I feel like I wouldn't be able to do it like I do, 1457 01:33:16.640 --> 01:33:19.560 like I'll like set up like little Jingles on my podcast, but like 1458 01:33:19.640 --> 01:33:21.760 it'll be like a two second one. I was like that took forever, 1459 01:33:23.560 --> 01:33:27.960 ages ages and then I don't know music theory, Like I took music theory 1460 01:33:28.000 --> 01:33:30.199 in school, but I had like a really mean teacher, and I just 1461 01:33:30.399 --> 01:33:35.199 I was into it. I was I've passed by the grace. I don't 1462 01:33:35.199 --> 01:33:39.359 know, Yeah, I passed, though. I think my teacher actually got 1463 01:33:39.359 --> 01:33:43.439 fired, like he got like escorted by the police, like mid mid by 1464 01:33:43.520 --> 01:33:46.640 the police, yeah, like mid semesters. Then they switched. It was 1465 01:33:46.680 --> 01:33:49.560 too much. So all that to say, I don't know music theory, 1466 01:33:49.640 --> 01:33:53.079 so when I even the teacher just messed it up for you because obvious, 1467 01:33:53.319 --> 01:33:56.199 Yeah, he screwed it up for me big time because he just like turned 1468 01:33:56.199 --> 01:33:58.600 me off. I was just like I don't like this class, like let 1469 01:33:58.640 --> 01:34:00.960 me get to my pro tools class. And he got arrests. It wasn't 1470 01:34:00.000 --> 01:34:03.479 just you like, yeah, problems yeah, I think he got fired and 1471 01:34:03.479 --> 01:34:09.199 then they automatically like make somebody walk you out because like the school sheriffs or 1472 01:34:09.199 --> 01:34:11.680 whatever like walked in up. Oh okay, okay, I don't know none 1473 01:34:11.680 --> 01:34:13.359 of my business. I do want to know what he did, right. 1474 01:34:13.439 --> 01:34:15.680 He used to smell like he'll do real bad, So I don't know the 1475 01:34:15.720 --> 01:34:17.439 google him after this. Yeah, see where he's at now. He was 1476 01:34:17.479 --> 01:34:23.079 so mean. But anyways, I don't like making beasts because I feel like 1477 01:34:23.159 --> 01:34:26.760 I can't play what I hear and it takes too long for me to figure 1478 01:34:26.800 --> 01:34:29.840 it out. I don't have patience. I'm just like, this isn't for 1479 01:34:29.880 --> 01:34:30.640 me. And then by the time I finished making a beat, I was 1480 01:34:30.640 --> 01:34:33.720 like I would never wrap on this trash. I wish somebody would send this 1481 01:34:33.760 --> 01:34:38.199 to me. So I just let you make it better. That's your job. 1482 01:34:38.920 --> 01:34:41.560 Yeah, I can get on it. I don't want to do it. 1483 01:34:41.680 --> 01:34:44.760 I leave it to the big dogs. These both these people group people 1484 01:34:44.800 --> 01:34:47.399 here next to me, both produced so they can have that. So how 1485 01:34:47.439 --> 01:34:49.760 did you get into engineering? Like what made you like really fall in love 1486 01:34:49.760 --> 01:34:55.239 with that? So I was an artist first and then I lived with my 1487 01:34:55.319 --> 01:35:00.279 auntie and I just moved in with her, and she was like, I 1488 01:35:00.319 --> 01:35:02.800 was graduated from high school, and she said, you could live here for 1489 01:35:02.840 --> 01:35:04.960 free, but you need to go to school. And I was like school 1490 01:35:05.399 --> 01:35:10.479 and nobody. I didn't really like grow up with thinking I was ever gonna 1491 01:35:10.479 --> 01:35:12.840 go to college or anything. Like. I already knew what I wanted to 1492 01:35:12.880 --> 01:35:14.640 do from a really young age. I was like, I'm gonna be a 1493 01:35:14.720 --> 01:35:16.880 rap star, like and that's it. I was good at it, and 1494 01:35:16.920 --> 01:35:19.439 so I didn't think there was a point for me to go to school. 1495 01:35:19.439 --> 01:35:21.279 But she was like, you need to go do something, and I was 1496 01:35:21.279 --> 01:35:26.720 like, all right, So I went to community college. Then I found 1497 01:35:26.720 --> 01:35:29.560 out you get financial aid. I said, well sign now, you know, 1498 01:35:29.720 --> 01:35:32.359 stay all four years. It's how much a lot. I not only 1499 01:35:32.439 --> 01:35:34.920 used mine once, and I like, for some reason, couldn't use it 1500 01:35:34.960 --> 01:35:38.720 again. I was like, damn, when you're young and never touched a 1501 01:35:38.760 --> 01:35:44.239 thousand dollars before that financial you feel like you feel like a billionaire. I 1502 01:35:44.359 --> 01:35:47.640 was like, waste some life and then you could get a little two books 1503 01:35:47.680 --> 01:35:50.000 and then like the rest was on me and get the used books and get 1504 01:35:50.000 --> 01:35:54.479 the e books and then get the you did the ball favorite. Actually I 1505 01:35:54.520 --> 01:35:57.119 was a Ta and my Ta let me use like half her books. She 1506 01:35:57.159 --> 01:35:59.680 was like, don't buy that, Like he's mine. You had to joke, 1507 01:35:59.720 --> 01:36:04.039 you feel my five kent to who knows what shoes? Shoes? I 1508 01:36:04.119 --> 01:36:09.039 was. I was just I was blowing it, but like it was it 1509 01:36:09.079 --> 01:36:13.159 was good to just be able to a little money. No, I had 1510 01:36:13.239 --> 01:36:20.800 like every victorious secret, perfree passion. I was doing something. Yes, 1511 01:36:20.920 --> 01:36:25.840 every type of blossom. That's all funny. Made you go to school? 1512 01:36:25.880 --> 01:36:30.720 Oh yeah, go to school? Uh. And then I took General ed 1513 01:36:30.119 --> 01:36:32.479 and I was like I just didn't know what I wanted to do, Like 1514 01:36:32.520 --> 01:36:35.079 I didn't have a profession other than what I was already doing. And then 1515 01:36:35.199 --> 01:36:39.960 they had a music program that it was called Music Industry Studies. Yeah, 1516 01:36:40.039 --> 01:36:44.239 music Industry Studies and it was at Diablo Valley College DVC, and uh, 1517 01:36:44.840 --> 01:36:46.560 I just enrolled and I was like I could do this, and you know, 1518 01:36:46.760 --> 01:36:50.159 so I would love to learn pro tools to be able to like communicate 1519 01:36:50.199 --> 01:36:54.119 with my engineers that I was working with. So I'm like this probably be 1520 01:36:54.239 --> 01:36:59.239 like useful or something. Definitely flunked my first year of pro Tools percent big 1521 01:36:59.279 --> 01:37:04.359 ad. I never went to class, like I was just like but then 1522 01:37:04.399 --> 01:37:08.600 I was like, Okay, Craney, you gotta get serious because somebody told 1523 01:37:08.600 --> 01:37:11.680 me if you fail, you got to pay the financial aid back. I 1524 01:37:11.680 --> 01:37:15.039 think that was a lie. That's a lie. Well somebody said that scared 1525 01:37:15.079 --> 01:37:16.960 me straight. I said, oh, I, you probably can't get it 1526 01:37:16.960 --> 01:37:21.159 again, regardless, regardless, I was about to mess up that check for 1527 01:37:21.279 --> 01:37:23.359 me. So I said no, no, no, no, no, 1528 01:37:23.640 --> 01:37:26.720 all right, we're gonna take it seriously time. So then I ended up 1529 01:37:28.039 --> 01:37:30.000 taking it again and I got serious and I actually really liked it. And 1530 01:37:30.000 --> 01:37:34.399 then Jeff that owned Tom Studios, the first studio that I used to record 1531 01:37:34.439 --> 01:37:38.159 at, he was like, I mean you want to like make some extra 1532 01:37:38.199 --> 01:37:43.079 money and start taking on clients. And I was like, hm hmm maybe, 1533 01:37:43.199 --> 01:37:45.800 and so I just wanted yeah. I was like, I mean I 1534 01:37:45.000 --> 01:37:47.520 should probably get like another start gig or something, right. I think I 1535 01:37:47.560 --> 01:37:51.800 was working at Home Goods at the time. I was so yeah, I 1536 01:37:51.880 --> 01:37:56.479 started taking I think one of my first clients was like his stars, like 1537 01:37:57.279 --> 01:38:00.399 yeah, like and I started just taking on and I was so slow. 1538 01:38:00.560 --> 01:38:04.680 I worked with fantastic Agrito, like the album that he got a Grammy on. 1539 01:38:04.920 --> 01:38:09.199 I did like a little more sol of recording on that album. So 1540 01:38:10.920 --> 01:38:15.319 the project I didn't do enough to qualify, but I was like yeah, 1541 01:38:15.359 --> 01:38:18.520 so, but I was really slow and just young. But I liked it 1542 01:38:18.560 --> 01:38:20.920 though, like I felt like I can do this. And then I was 1543 01:38:21.000 --> 01:38:25.920 recording myself and that made me better because I was just like, I know 1544 01:38:25.960 --> 01:38:29.680 how I want to be recorded. And then I remember there's a guy named 1545 01:38:29.720 --> 01:38:34.000 Ku Carell and he's like a vocal producer for like Rihanna and Justin Bieber, 1546 01:38:34.279 --> 01:38:39.239 like all the big people. I think he just worked on Beyonce's album that 1547 01:38:39.319 --> 01:38:42.359 she just did. He's worked with all the stars, right, and he 1548 01:38:42.439 --> 01:38:46.319 was doing I don't remember if this was a demonstration with the recording Academy or 1549 01:38:46.359 --> 01:38:49.439 with my school, but whatever it was, he was doing a demonstration at 1550 01:38:49.439 --> 01:38:56.319 the old school what's the school in Emeryville that shut down expressions expressions and he 1551 01:38:56.359 --> 01:38:59.720 was doing like a demo, recording demo, and I've never seen anybody work 1552 01:38:59.760 --> 01:39:01.039 so fast, and I was like, oh, I want to work like 1553 01:39:01.079 --> 01:39:03.920 that, and I was like okay, Like and he just does a bunch 1554 01:39:03.920 --> 01:39:08.880 of shortcuts and like when he comps vocals, Like comping vocals is when you 1555 01:39:09.199 --> 01:39:12.840 just do several takes of you know, a phrase or something and you put 1556 01:39:12.880 --> 01:39:15.800 it together like and make like you know, some people call the Frankensteining, 1557 01:39:15.880 --> 01:39:18.479 Like you're just taking a bunch of pieces and putting it together. And uh, 1558 01:39:19.199 --> 01:39:23.239 I was just like I love I love this, Like I just felt 1559 01:39:23.239 --> 01:39:25.479 something. I was like, I want to do that, Like recording is 1560 01:39:25.560 --> 01:39:28.119 cool, but I want to do that. And he was vocal producing at 1561 01:39:28.119 --> 01:39:30.000 the same time. So hit it again, do it like this? No, 1562 01:39:30.119 --> 01:39:31.560 no, get this rand. You know he wasn't a great singer, 1563 01:39:31.640 --> 01:39:35.279 but well no, I think he can't sing actually, but like he wasn't 1564 01:39:35.359 --> 01:39:39.119 like out of this, out of the but he was still getting his point 1565 01:39:39.119 --> 01:39:43.800 of cross yeah, to where the artists understood and you know, made their 1566 01:39:43.800 --> 01:39:46.199 sound better. So I started incorporating that in my sessions and when I will 1567 01:39:46.239 --> 01:39:49.880 work with singers especially, I was like, like I cannot sing for real, 1568 01:39:50.000 --> 01:39:56.000 like like she is not blessed with that. He knew, he knew 1569 01:39:56.000 --> 01:40:00.359 if I could sing, it would be so I can though I have a 1570 01:40:00.399 --> 01:40:04.319 good ear. So like I was kind of getting that reputation. And I 1571 01:40:04.359 --> 01:40:09.239 started kind of just building a reputation and building my clientele and you know, 1572 01:40:09.520 --> 01:40:12.880 getting when you're an engineer. You have to compete, you know, with 1573 01:40:13.000 --> 01:40:15.119 people who have been going to their engineer for the last five ten years, 1574 01:40:15.560 --> 01:40:18.680 and so you just have to offer incentives and different experiences. So I was 1575 01:40:18.720 --> 01:40:21.640 going out my way to just make sure that these people I was working with 1576 01:40:21.640 --> 01:40:27.279 were getting like super speed and like I might make a free promo video for 1577 01:40:27.319 --> 01:40:30.119 them or just like finding different ways to keep them around. And I did, 1578 01:40:30.720 --> 01:40:33.000 and I just loved it. And then it got to the point where 1579 01:40:33.039 --> 01:40:39.079 engineering my regular jobs, like my day jobs, I think it worked out, 1580 01:40:39.079 --> 01:40:41.840 like a printing company or something like that, was getting in the way 1581 01:40:41.840 --> 01:40:45.399 of my clients, and I was making more engineering than I was at that 1582 01:40:45.600 --> 01:40:48.640 twelve fifteen dollars an hour, so I was like, I'm out this whole 1583 01:40:48.680 --> 01:40:51.800 time. Yeah, and so yeah, so that's kind of how I pivoted, 1584 01:40:51.840 --> 01:40:58.119 And then I was able to fund my music with engineering, and then 1585 01:40:58.199 --> 01:41:01.279 I was able to meet more people as an engineer than I was as an 1586 01:41:01.359 --> 01:41:03.319 artist, because when you're an artist, it's all about me, right, 1587 01:41:03.359 --> 01:41:05.800 everything's me, me, me, me me. When you're an engineer, 1588 01:41:05.800 --> 01:41:09.319 it's like people want to talk to you because you do something for me. 1589 01:41:09.439 --> 01:41:12.720 Yeah, yeah, and it's like oh and then like that's how I met 1590 01:41:12.800 --> 01:41:17.560 Vaughn initially, Like he hit me asking about he wanted to put like a 1591 01:41:17.640 --> 01:41:20.439 song together, like a like a song with female rappers, and he was 1592 01:41:20.479 --> 01:41:23.640 like he didn't know I made music. He was like, well, what 1593 01:41:23.680 --> 01:41:25.479 can who can I put on this? And you know, I was giving 1594 01:41:25.560 --> 01:41:28.920 him ideas and stuff, and then I just shot my shot on the phone. 1595 01:41:28.920 --> 01:41:30.640 I said, Hey, while you're here, can I send you a 1596 01:41:30.680 --> 01:41:32.720 song that I'm working on. He's like, oh, you make music? 1597 01:41:32.760 --> 01:41:35.600 And I was like yeah, He's like yeah, send it. Literally like 1598 01:41:36.039 --> 01:41:40.399 within the hour, he played it on the radio like during primetime like traffic 1599 01:41:40.479 --> 01:41:43.560 time, and then it was on for a couple months, like on the 1600 01:41:43.640 --> 01:41:46.439 radio like no, and I'm like, no, but it That's how you 1601 01:41:46.479 --> 01:41:50.119 know, those relationships kind of it's got to happen organically first, but then 1602 01:41:50.119 --> 01:41:54.279 you can't be afraid to like put yourself out there too. Yeah, once 1603 01:41:54.319 --> 01:41:56.840 it's there, and it helps when you do other things. Like I tell 1604 01:41:56.920 --> 01:42:00.960 artists, like, you know, if you only make music, sometimes that's 1605 01:42:00.000 --> 01:42:05.279 tough to get to where you need to go. Because for somebody who like 1606 01:42:05.319 --> 01:42:11.399 a DJ or a label rep or whatever, like you gotta think hundreds of 1607 01:42:11.439 --> 01:42:15.520 people are getting at them every year, you know, sometimes every week or 1608 01:42:15.640 --> 01:42:19.960 month. What can you do for them to even make them like drop their 1609 01:42:19.960 --> 01:42:25.359 shoulders and really have a conversation with you and really like level And a lot 1610 01:42:25.399 --> 01:42:29.439 of times it's you being able to be multifaceted, faceted and offer something else. 1611 01:42:29.960 --> 01:42:31.239 So I tell people go pick up a camera, go learn how to 1612 01:42:31.279 --> 01:42:34.640 engineer, or go everything, do something, Just figure out something else to 1613 01:42:34.680 --> 01:42:38.920 do. That way, you'll never know who you meet like that, right, 1614 01:42:39.279 --> 01:42:42.520 and you never know what you're like actually like in love with right, 1615 01:42:43.079 --> 01:42:45.319 Like you know, you were like, I'm all about my music, and 1616 01:42:45.359 --> 01:42:46.560 I was like, wait, I love engineering. I never thought I was 1617 01:42:46.600 --> 01:42:48.600 ever going to be an engineer. It sounded like nerd stuff to me, 1618 01:42:48.640 --> 01:42:53.960 Like I don't want to do I'm an entrepreneur. I never thought I was 1619 01:42:53.960 --> 01:42:56.920 going to open a student That wasn't part of the plan. Yeah it wasn't. 1620 01:42:56.960 --> 01:43:00.159 But you know, you never know, just doing everything. So many 1621 01:43:00.159 --> 01:43:02.239 people understand though, like this studio is not just yeah exactly one, I'm 1622 01:43:02.239 --> 01:43:05.359 just making money off you guys, or you know it's dope. You got 1623 01:43:05.359 --> 01:43:08.880 all these events going on and you're creating the space for artists, but like 1624 01:43:09.199 --> 01:43:12.079 you have the resume, like you went to school, you worked with the 1625 01:43:12.119 --> 01:43:15.439 academy, you were an artist yourself. So I just want people to understand 1626 01:43:15.439 --> 01:43:17.359 when you go to the studio, like you're working with the best listen, 1627 01:43:17.399 --> 01:43:20.800 they are getting they are getting experienced. He does this, Yeah, they're 1628 01:43:20.840 --> 01:43:26.239 getting love. And the engineers that we have at the studio, like these 1629 01:43:26.239 --> 01:43:28.880 are my people. Like I'm training them, you know what I'm saying, 1630 01:43:28.880 --> 01:43:32.359 And I'm trying to put them in positions and situations so similar things could happen 1631 01:43:32.399 --> 01:43:35.079 to them as well. So when you come to the studio, even if 1632 01:43:35.079 --> 01:43:39.359 you don't work with me, you're gonna work with somebody else who got it, 1633 01:43:39.439 --> 01:43:43.000 you know what I'm saying. Like everybody is super talented and in their 1634 01:43:43.000 --> 01:43:45.479 own lane and got something special. So from the whole staff, pole staff 1635 01:43:45.479 --> 01:43:50.560 to the equipment fire, so what it's about everything Studio X. And then 1636 01:43:50.760 --> 01:43:54.479 you open the location in La too, So yeah, from people in the 1637 01:43:54.520 --> 01:43:57.039 bank, could they use that one too, Like yeah, we actually I 1638 01:43:57.079 --> 01:43:59.560 don't know when this is gonna air, but we got a mean special going 1639 01:43:59.560 --> 01:44:01.560 on right now. Bey to LA. If you're from the Bay and you 1640 01:44:01.600 --> 01:44:05.680 want to go work in LA fifty percent off only because we want to encourage 1641 01:44:05.680 --> 01:44:09.560 people to get outside their comfort zones and go make that LA trip. La 1642 01:44:09.600 --> 01:44:12.880 trips are very important, I will say, that's the different type of work 1643 01:44:12.880 --> 01:44:16.039 and a different type of network and market. So fifty percent off. They 1644 01:44:16.079 --> 01:44:20.560 only paying half of what they pay us up here if they go to LA. 1645 01:44:20.680 --> 01:44:26.199 But yeah, they can book in LA. And Rossie's down there running 1646 01:44:26.239 --> 01:44:30.880 the LA location, killing it, doing great. Yeah, and it's woman 1647 01:44:30.960 --> 01:44:36.279 owned like crazy in Oakland. Like that's so far, You're amazing. Let's 1648 01:44:36.279 --> 01:44:40.720 talk about this lab with FAB that you got coming up? Got another event, 1649 01:44:40.880 --> 01:44:46.840 So what's going on the lab with Fab. One of my longest clients 1650 01:44:46.880 --> 01:44:54.720 I've had is Missed the Fab. We've been working together seven years maybe something 1651 01:44:54.800 --> 01:44:59.359 like that, and our work we have developed this insane workflow that, like 1652 01:44:59.800 --> 01:45:03.399 you, I have to experience to understand what I'm saying because nobody believes it. 1653 01:45:04.000 --> 01:45:06.800 And then when they come in, they're like, I've never seen anything 1654 01:45:06.840 --> 01:45:11.039 like that, Like the amount of people that I think everybody that comes into 1655 01:45:11.039 --> 01:45:14.399 one of our sessions for the first time, like they'll be quiet, they're 1656 01:45:14.439 --> 01:45:15.680 just quiet, they're watching, and then during a break they're like, I 1657 01:45:15.680 --> 01:45:19.479 have never seen anything like that in my life. Like we work speed like 1658 01:45:20.039 --> 01:45:23.880 quick like and I could keep up with each other. Yeah, he could 1659 01:45:23.960 --> 01:45:27.600 keep up with me. Because when we first started working together, I was 1660 01:45:27.720 --> 01:45:31.159 I was subbing in for his regular engineer and uh jeff him. He was 1661 01:45:31.199 --> 01:45:32.760 like, oh, can you do a session with Fab? And I was 1662 01:45:32.800 --> 01:45:41.359 like, this was I don't know, I don't remember. I was probably 1663 01:45:41.359 --> 01:45:45.439 like twenty two, twenty three, maybe like I was young, like I 1664 01:45:45.479 --> 01:45:47.880 was, I was still fresh, I was still knew. I don't even 1665 01:45:47.960 --> 01:45:51.640 know if I had gone to that Ku Correlle thing yet, but maybe I 1666 01:45:51.640 --> 01:45:56.520 don't know. I was like it was before New Oakland, after No Heavens. 1667 01:45:56.560 --> 01:46:00.399 No, I'm not that. I'm not that No Shade Fab No, 1668 01:46:00.720 --> 01:46:06.359 no, No, this was probably this was probably After a Son of a 1669 01:46:06.359 --> 01:46:10.399 Pimp too. I think this was a little bit after that, yeah, 1670 01:46:10.439 --> 01:46:13.840 because I didn't have anything to do with that album. I wasn't recording him 1671 01:46:13.880 --> 01:46:16.359 yet. Yeah, so this is after that and we just started working together 1672 01:46:16.399 --> 01:46:19.840 and he was really He's fast and his attention span is like, you know, 1673 01:46:20.039 --> 01:46:23.840 he has to do something, he has to keep going, And I 1674 01:46:23.880 --> 01:46:27.840 was like, you're not about to outwork me so that Yeah, it made 1675 01:46:27.920 --> 01:46:30.159 me keep up. And then I got to a point where what's up, 1676 01:46:30.239 --> 01:46:33.159 I'm faster, you know, and then you all like and it was like, 1677 01:46:33.199 --> 01:46:38.159 a we just created this chemistry like to wear down. I don't have 1678 01:46:38.279 --> 01:46:41.039 to I don't he doesn't have to say a word, and I know what 1679 01:46:41.119 --> 01:46:44.920 he's thinking, just because we've worked together for so long so often, like 1680 01:46:44.960 --> 01:46:49.720 we work weekly. So basically people can learn that, right, And and 1681 01:46:50.680 --> 01:46:56.039 fab is his own like mind and brain and yes, like, but as 1682 01:46:56.039 --> 01:46:59.680 an artist and an engineer, you can still create that kind of synergy in 1683 01:46:59.720 --> 01:47:02.239 that that chemistry with your artists. You just have to have the right tools 1684 01:47:02.760 --> 01:47:08.600 and you have to like have change your mindset a little bit into how can 1685 01:47:08.640 --> 01:47:10.640 I make this faster. I used to work on a ranch when I was 1686 01:47:10.680 --> 01:47:15.479 a kid, my grandpa or nancehetto and I'm like my uncle was too, 1687 01:47:15.840 --> 01:47:17.600 And I remember like when I would go work there in the summer, a 1688 01:47:17.640 --> 01:47:20.840 lot of the task I had to do are mad, tedious, dude like, 1689 01:47:23.239 --> 01:47:25.720 and I was like, how can I figure out like a faster way 1690 01:47:25.760 --> 01:47:28.800 to do this but still get like the same result, right, And so 1691 01:47:28.880 --> 01:47:31.479 I kind of developed that mindset, so I applied that to engineering, right, 1692 01:47:31.840 --> 01:47:35.720 how can I do what I need to do? But like quicker to 1693 01:47:35.800 --> 01:47:40.439 keep up with him, Like there are certain things while he's recording or figuring 1694 01:47:40.439 --> 01:47:44.520 out a line, I could be editing or cleaning up my workspace and start 1695 01:47:44.560 --> 01:47:47.399 mixing and suffcapacity. So it's kind of just we're doing that. So that's 1696 01:47:47.399 --> 01:47:50.479 what we're doing. He's going over kind of his songwriting techniques and how he 1697 01:47:50.800 --> 01:47:56.359 writes super fast, and I'm going over engineering techniques and how I track vocals 1698 01:47:56.399 --> 01:48:00.239 really fast. Knowing it's like a class. Yeah, it's good to be 1699 01:48:00.279 --> 01:48:03.640 a session, but it's like a interactive Yeah, it's gonna be an interactive 1700 01:48:03.640 --> 01:48:06.920 workshop session. So that's what Lab with Fab is. Bro that's so tight. 1701 01:48:08.119 --> 01:48:11.000 So when is this this is going down? So that's on the thirteenth, 1702 01:48:11.279 --> 01:48:15.479 very limited like under ten. I'm talking like under ten people, just 1703 01:48:15.479 --> 01:48:18.720 because we want everybody to have like a fairly hands on experience and be able 1704 01:48:18.760 --> 01:48:23.119 to answer everybody's questions and stuff. So I don't know when we're gonna do 1705 01:48:23.119 --> 01:48:27.640 it again. But if you're an engineer or an artist than want to learn 1706 01:48:27.680 --> 01:48:30.600 how to track faster, definitely definitely make that make that move well. I 1707 01:48:30.600 --> 01:48:33.119 think you're amazing. Love key a genius. I love what you're doing for 1708 01:48:33.159 --> 01:48:36.439 the community. Studio X fire.

I mean, yeah exactly, I have hell 1725 01:49:34.880 --> 01:49:40.359 events, but I have to ask what's next, like big Picture events all 1726 01:49:40.399 --> 01:49:45.720 both oh events. We have our next running back with DJ Chloe Money on 1727 01:49:45.760 --> 01:49:50.560 the seventeenth at Dahlia, so that'll be super dope. Our next GAM is 1728 01:49:50.600 --> 01:49:55.279 probably going to be in May, and then another one in June, and 1729 01:49:55.279 --> 01:49:59.920 our artist development program is gonna kick off in June. And big Picture, 1730 01:50:00.159 --> 01:50:02.199 Yeah, where do you see Studio X in like five years or where do 1731 01:50:02.239 --> 01:50:04.560 you want it to like really be? You know, I want one more 1732 01:50:04.600 --> 01:50:13.800 location and a very big city not on this coast, a Grammy downstairs and 1733 01:50:13.319 --> 01:50:16.560 a and a Grammy case. You know what I'm saying. I want that 1734 01:50:16.640 --> 01:50:21.399 might happen before five years, and just a bigger location that we're able to 1735 01:50:21.439 --> 01:50:26.680 really build out from, you know, the ground up. You know this 1736 01:50:26.920 --> 01:50:30.560 location was it fitting the budget and it could make sense, you know where 1737 01:50:30.600 --> 01:50:33.239 I was. But I think in five years we're definitely going to be like 1738 01:50:33.279 --> 01:50:36.880 a space that's like our space, like that we really built out. Well, 1739 01:50:36.960 --> 01:50:41.680 I can't wait to see you take over Karina. Everyone, Studio Eggs 1740 01:50:41.720 --> 01:50:44.760 pull up.
