Speaker 2: She was all up on these walls.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so what's the process with this as far as
Speaker 3: like like the walls and everything, like, how do you
Speaker 3: like do that?
Speaker 2: Oh soul?
Speaker 3: That work? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I put some Mexican work up because I had gotten
Speaker 1: a quote to get these walls wrapped because they're disgusting
Speaker 1: gray walls and I didn't want that anymore.
Speaker 2: Got a quote.
Speaker 1: I was at Hall No, ordered the material on Amazon
Speaker 1: and just stabled it myself.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I heart allows that or this building.
Speaker 3: But no, it's like I'm seeing this now. I'm not

Speaker 3: I just walk right in a podcast right now. This
Speaker 3: has been it's been a crazy day to day already,
Speaker 3: so this is like already off the hot start. So
Speaker 3: happy to be here. Yeah, I definitely have to know.
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us and taking the time today.
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
Speaker 2: Yeah, is it Bannon? Am I saying it correct?
Speaker 3: Yes, you are saying it correct. Actually, you'd be amazed
Speaker 3: about any time I go out, how many people like
Speaker 3: mess up my name. It's crazy, which is understandable, but
Speaker 3: like it's all good. You said it right first time.
Speaker 3: That's all I matters.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, point for me, is that your name
Speaker 1: or is that your alter ego name?
Speaker 3: No, No, it's actually my name name. My mom decided
Speaker 3: I'm the firstborn, so she decided gave me the harder name.
Speaker 3: And it was actually after my great grandmother, Maxine Bannon.
Speaker 3: Oh so that's where it came from. Yeah, and then
Speaker 3: I've just had to make it so confusing for people
Speaker 3: because like I'm so serious, especially like you know how
Speaker 3: it is like nightlife out here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like Brandon, Like.
Speaker 3: Gosh, it's crazy the first time. That the point, So
Speaker 3: give yourself a double fare.
Speaker 2: BOMs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so we gotta just some backstory here.
Speaker 3: Let's do it. This is my camera right here, that's
Speaker 3: you want to make sure.
Speaker 1: So you we work at our heart and there's a
Speaker 1: bunch of different stations. There's you know, different departments and whatnot.
Speaker 1: And we've seen you in the hall basically every single
Speaker 1: day for a while.
Speaker 3: Very true, okay, And.
Speaker 1: We haven't been a word to each other whatsoever, like well,
Speaker 1: you know, we smile, like what's up.
Speaker 3: It's a little of an interesting time I heard. I
Speaker 3: don't think we can logistically get into it right now
Speaker 3: on my end about that. But it's been definitely like
Speaker 3: obviously like being here has been very interesting. But I
Speaker 3: understand I don't want to.
Speaker 1: Cut your position changed, yes right, yes, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: But you lawyers in here like that, like I can get,
Speaker 3: I can get who I need. Everything you say, you
Speaker 3: could just be followed by allegedly and then well across
Speaker 3: as accusations. So this is little So yeah.
Speaker 2: Was really good at throwing the allegedly out there. Allegedly.
Speaker 3: Allegedly that's a favorite word. That's so scary, that's so scary.
Speaker 3: That's how we see each other in the whole.
Speaker 1: So the algorithm put one of your reels, yeah, on
Speaker 1: our feet.
Speaker 2: It was for Jenna actually.
Speaker 1: Came up and then we were like, hold up, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is the guy we see in the hall.
Speaker 3: We were fact checking.
Speaker 2: Hold up, he's a rapper. There's so much.
Speaker 1: That I feel like, you're so quiet, and I'm like, what,
Speaker 1: it's always a quiet ones it is always.
Speaker 3: Yes, I like to keep myself. It's not like I
Speaker 3: don't mind sharing them because I do. I mean, I
Speaker 3: do this all the time, but I think the good
Speaker 3: news is especially with what I do, especially just I
Speaker 3: try to make it not just music. I try to
Speaker 3: make it more as a brand more than anything. Like
Speaker 3: this is like merchandise sports because I've been doing sports
Speaker 3: radio for like ten years, so I've been doing that forever.
Speaker 3: And then the music stuff actually came because I went
Speaker 3: to Arizona State, so forks up. Of course, you know
Speaker 3: how we do it. Yeah, I hate to break it too,
Speaker 3: but negative negative point negative negative point, negative point. But like,
Speaker 3: I've just been such a different person when it comes
Speaker 3: to just doing different avenues and stuff, and I think
Speaker 3: it just kind of all ties together and like listen,
Speaker 3: music is always gonna be there no matter what. It's
Speaker 3: actually so funny because that video I had no idea
Speaker 3: that like it was. I think it's because of waste
Speaker 3: management because we shot because I shot that in March.
Speaker 3: Oh that was for an album that now always works out,
Speaker 3: which I'm now actually so funny. So that was like
Speaker 3: a part one. I have that out now I'm about
Speaker 3: to put out part two. This is great promo. By
Speaker 3: the way, I'm actually shooting a movie for it. What Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm shooting on the legitimate not some iPhone like no,
Speaker 3: like a legitimate shot of my guys Matt Basquez. We're
Speaker 3: actually shooting the first scene. Coincidentally, it's actually funny. My
Speaker 3: twenty third birthday is this Saturday. Yeah, and we have
Speaker 3: a show at Varsity Tavern. It's a bar crawl on
Speaker 3: Mill a Mill Avenue. It's a cool thing Desert events Arizona.
Speaker 3: I also I have like twenty different jobs, by the way,
Speaker 3: if that says anything. So I also work for them,
Speaker 3: and I'm literally just I've never performed covers because I
Speaker 3: just perform original music when I do my shows. So
Speaker 3: they're just giving me like an X amount of time
Speaker 3: just to perform covers with the live band at Varsity Tavern. Wow,
Speaker 3: it's all my birthday. But we're shooting a scene because
Speaker 3: of that, because like basically, like we're shooting the movie,
Speaker 3: then that's the first scene we're doing. So basically, it's
Speaker 3: funny that you guys saw that video because it's great
Speaker 3: timing because I'm about to put out part two and
Speaker 3: then the movie is called always works out because look,
Speaker 3: we're no works out. It always works out.
Speaker 2: I am mind blown right now.
Speaker 3: I know that's good. That's good.
Speaker 2: That is crazy. Yeah, you've been here the whole time.
Speaker 3: I've only been here for such a short time though,
Speaker 3: it's not I haven't been here that long though.
Speaker 2: Three months, two months, I've.
Speaker 3: Only been here like two. Yeah, the only really two
Speaker 3: because I moved back out here. I moved because I
Speaker 3: obviously was here, and then I was covering the Olympics
Speaker 3: in Paris, came back for two months trying to figure
Speaker 3: this out, and I just said, hey, whoever will take
Speaker 3: an opportunity on me, and iHeart presented itself with that,
Speaker 3: and then obviously there's been a shift, allegedly, but but
Speaker 3: it's been but I've obviously kept that, Like, it's not
Speaker 3: that I don't mind sharing, because I do. This is
Speaker 3: what I do. Like social media is more of my thing.
Speaker 3: But you know, especially with the job that I currently have,
Speaker 3: you don't really get the opportunity to do that a
Speaker 3: whole lot. You gotta have to take the step back,
Speaker 3: and I think I needed to do that myself and
Speaker 3: I'm still learning that. So right now is very interesting.
Speaker 3: So to say I'm very excited to be here right
Speaker 3: now is an understatement.
Speaker 1: At least, I mean, because we have the platforms to
Speaker 1: support in any way that we can, whether it's on
Speaker 1: the radio or social media.
Speaker 2: So glad that we got to see that video.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but are you guys like surprise, Like this is
Speaker 3: like crazy? So you guys really did research like this
Speaker 3: is nu Yeah.
Speaker 2: Now we were fully surprised. I didn't expect to see
Speaker 2: you all.
Speaker 3: I know, like I said, today it could have been today.
Speaker 3: It could be one of the craziest days that I've
Speaker 3: had in like a long time. And this is like
Speaker 3: the cultivation of it. It's actually hilarious. So this is awesome.
Speaker 3: This is really cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so when did you start with music?
Speaker 3: I started with music, Uh, you know, when I started
Speaker 3: on the with the m C. You know, I was
Speaker 3: sixteen years old, so I was. I played piano when
Speaker 3: I was four years old. I've been playing that forever.
Speaker 3: And then my first show is actually I was on
Speaker 3: a chair like this at a house party and I
Speaker 3: was just singing, and it just I was bout from
Speaker 3: Palm Springs, originally from Palm Springs seven to six to oh,
Speaker 3: and I had to I get it, allegedly had to
Speaker 3: do that, So that's why. But it just kind of
Speaker 3: came from there and then obviously putting my music out
Speaker 3: on Apple Music and Spotify, and then to come to
Speaker 3: the great place of Arizona because I love Arizona and
Speaker 3: it's done a lot for just not even just my
Speaker 3: work career, but just life in general. The connections I've
Speaker 3: been able to make has been super huge, and it
Speaker 3: just kind of just went crazy from there. Seriously, it's
Speaker 3: just kind of evolved itself into that.
Speaker 2: So why did you decide to go the sports.
Speaker 1: Route instead of just kind of focusing So, I mean,
Speaker 1: I still focus on it.
Speaker 3: I just I, like I was saying earlier, I think
Speaker 3: the one thing is I don't ever want to be
Speaker 3: put in just a box of what I what I do.
Speaker 3: I think, especially with social media and all that, I
Speaker 3: think is I I was having a conversation with some
Speaker 3: of it. I was like, well, I feel like social
Speaker 3: media is just more of like high school stuff and
Speaker 3: all that. Like I look at it as business. I
Speaker 3: literally look at it. It's especially with short from content
Speaker 3: all that. Like, there's like a bunch of stuff I do.
Speaker 3: I do man on the street interviews, I do sports,
Speaker 3: I do music. It's just being able to do many
Speaker 3: different things. It might get super confusing at first, but
Speaker 3: I think that one thing is being able to do
Speaker 3: different things. I think it all ties back to music.
Speaker 3: So I think that's the one thing. So I'm always
Speaker 3: doing music. I'm always doing that. But right now with
Speaker 3: the movie, right now, I've been like taking that step
Speaker 3: back now, So now that I'm back in and it's
Speaker 3: it's willing me back in a little bit. So the
Speaker 3: job's never finished, the job's never done.
Speaker 2: So yeah, dangs, that's a lot.
Speaker 3: We're doing. We're doing a lot more than helping to
Speaker 3: the extras. I got you don't even worry about it.
Speaker 4: I don't even know how to act, like, no, it's
Speaker 4: super cool, No, it's supero it's called it's and and
Speaker 4: all the music is from the album, so we're like,
Speaker 4: that's basically all that's going to be on there.
Speaker 3: So it's called Always. Yeah. The album's called Always works
Speaker 3: Out and your whole album is part of it's a movie.
Speaker 3: It's like, you know, okay, here's an example. You know
Speaker 3: how Kanye put out like my beautiful, dark, twisted fantasy movie.
Speaker 3: This is basically that, okay, but it's only like, because
Speaker 3: you know, the world of attention spans now is so great,
Speaker 3: we're only making it fifteen minutes, so it's like a
Speaker 3: short film and whatnot. But the thing is is that
Speaker 3: we're really like I've taken a step back, not just
Speaker 3: from the music, but like to do this because it's
Speaker 3: like it's another avenue. It's because you can't just put
Speaker 3: out albums and just expect for the best, and it's
Speaker 3: like you have to be able to do different things.
Speaker 3: And this is just kind of like a low risk,
Speaker 3: high reward type of thing in a sense, like I
Speaker 3: don't know how to act, Like I really don't. I
Speaker 3: have one IMDb thing and that's from a music video,
Speaker 3: and that's it. I can tell that to anybody because
Speaker 3: I feel like you don't. It's just being able to
Speaker 3: do different things. I think that's just I tell that
Speaker 3: to anybody because I feel like you don't always have
Speaker 3: to be put in a box.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you're that's good, congratulations and I say that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is crazy, this is I'm like, we just did
Speaker 1: this live by the way, like I just walked in and.
Speaker 3: This is cool.
Speaker 2: You are in a went through for sure, I am.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And the hustle, Yeah.
Speaker 3: That's the hustle. Absolutely. I appreciate that. No, that's that's
Speaker 3: like the best compliment right there in the world.
Speaker 2: So yeah, your energy, that's actually the same day as
Speaker 2: my mom's.
Speaker 3: Really, I think it's just different. Like obviously being here
Speaker 3: is honestly like opened up a lot of different opportunities
Speaker 3: for me. I'm still like obviously super super excited to
Speaker 3: be here and whatnot and continue to do it. It's
Speaker 3: definitely a change right now. So I don't know, it's
Speaker 3: definitely all over the place a little bit allegedly, but
Speaker 3: it's all good. But I'm very grateful, seriously, Like the
Speaker 3: community here is awesome. It's really cool, and.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of room for growth.
Speaker 3: There is no there really is, and like I came
Speaker 3: into like I had no idea what I was coming into.
Speaker 3: Like working absolutely yea, none, but I do a lot. No,
Speaker 3: I do that. I work with desert events, do a
Speaker 3: lot of men on the street. I run their social media,
Speaker 3: make the music. We throw shows. I'll throw my own
Speaker 3: brain of shows called Young BC and Friends. We've done
Speaker 3: it all over now theater I'm trying to think of
Speaker 3: like some varsity tame and just like different places out here.
Speaker 3: But it's like, yeah, like I said, it's just not
Speaker 3: putting yourself in a box. I'm just always open to
Speaker 3: collaboration and always because I'm not afraid to work with people.
Speaker 3: I'm not. I'm really not. I preached out in a
Speaker 3: lot of my videos.
Speaker 1: So yeah, well, I mean I love that because we're
Speaker 1: always looking to be part of you know, events like that,
Speaker 1: whether it's Ieheart Kiss or.
Speaker 2: You know all the stations that we have here.
Speaker 3: Absolutely. Yeah. No, it's definitely been and especially like post cras,
Speaker 3: I just graduated too, so it's like kind of navigating
Speaker 3: that world has been definitely very interesting. It's very post
Speaker 3: grab life is very interesting. It's very like you see
Speaker 3: a lot of different you see changes in people. I
Speaker 3: think you see a lot of you see a lot
Speaker 3: of different changes in people.
Speaker 1: So you've talked about that too, Jenna, right, because she
Speaker 1: also went to that's what.
Speaker 3: We're talking about, kim On. It really is. No, Kronka
Speaker 3: is a one of one freaking place. It really is.
Speaker 1: So they instill in you very much like to get
Speaker 1: good at everything or just like put yourself out there.
Speaker 2: Yeah everything. So the more you know, the more valuable
Speaker 2: you are. Exactly, that's right there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, wild enough, because you make me feel like
Speaker 1: I don't do ship with my life.
Speaker 3: This is how I.
Speaker 2: Graduated. That's how I know. You don't have kids.
Speaker 3: No, I don't. I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Good. Yeah, well that's awesome, man.
Speaker 3: Appreciate it. Yeah, this is nuts, this is wild, This
Speaker 3: is cool. Though. I appreciate this. I needed this today,
Speaker 3: So this is yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean we want to support anyway. Yeah we can.
Speaker 2: So we're learning so much.
Speaker 3: So what so like what like what were the honest
Speaker 3: and fro I'm intrigued by the research right now, Like
Speaker 3: I'm so like what what were like the assumptions Like
Speaker 3: I guess I'm not assumptions, but like.
Speaker 1: Well I just I just saw you were really quiet,
Speaker 1: and then I saw video of you like freaking busting out.
Speaker 2: Some and like, you know, I was like, I'm not
Speaker 2: the first time I hear his voice.
Speaker 3: And it's so funny because that's the polars. Because people
Speaker 3: don't think I'm not quiet. Clearly I'm not because I'm
Speaker 3: in here right now. But the thing is is that
Speaker 3: like I'm quiet at first, when when you get to
Speaker 3: know me, it's very different. I would say, like, it's
Speaker 3: it's it's how I am. I had to always. It's
Speaker 3: like you should not say keep your guard up. I
Speaker 3: should not say that, but you have to be. I'm
Speaker 3: just always so cautious about so many different.
Speaker 2: Things as weird as hell.
Speaker 3: Exactly exactly exactly. This seems like the fun room, Like
Speaker 3: where was that? I'm this is this is sick.
Speaker 2: This is the fun.
Speaker 3: So did you document the process of you guys doing
Speaker 3: you had to have.
Speaker 1: Of wrapping this up? You know, I didn't. I should have,
Speaker 1: but I didn't. I just wanted to get it done.
Speaker 1: You're grinding, Yeah, yeah, you gotta do what you gotta do.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Ye're done. Yeah, I'm impressed. That's awesome.
Speaker 3: I appreciate that. Yeah, No, that's I opened up myself
Speaker 3: pretty pretty much immediately. But yeah, I just know it's
Speaker 3: pretty wild. There's a lot of info. I feel like
Speaker 3: anyone is like, this is a lot, but yeah I did.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I've just never wanted to be super
Speaker 3: boxed in. I think that's why I'm always just open
Speaker 3: to collaboration and always doing different things. I mean, obviously
Speaker 3: in a responsible manner, but I think it's just more
Speaker 3: of just putting yourself out there. I think that's more
Speaker 3: than because I think a lot of people were afraid
Speaker 3: to do that and I find out that because I
Speaker 3: think then you're gonna look back and like it's like, damn,
Speaker 3: I would. I never want to ever look back on
Speaker 3: anything that I've done and be like, damn, I wish
Speaker 3: I did this, Yeah right, and I think you never.
Speaker 3: I never could. I've never done that. And it's like,
Speaker 3: obviously I've had some cool things I got talked about
Speaker 3: doing it, like going to parents, like it's stuff like
Speaker 3: that where I've been able to do and it's been
Speaker 3: super fun and it's been really awesome. But obviously those
Speaker 3: are just like their moments, but you learn from those.
Speaker 3: You learn a lot from that, So it's super it's
Speaker 3: super cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So where can people find your music?
Speaker 3: You can find my music on Apple Music or Spotify
Speaker 3: or wherever you listen to your music at young BC
Speaker 3: y U n G lowercase PC, but obviously all together.
Speaker 2: So do you go by young BC like when it
Speaker 2: comes to music.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well music music is young BC because like Bannon is,
Speaker 3: like it's because it's already like a hard name to
Speaker 3: begin with, so it's like that, but it's so unique.
Speaker 3: The BC can stand for anything, though. It depends on
Speaker 3: the It depends on the day. Like it's kind of
Speaker 3: like young Beard sugar or something like. It depends because
Speaker 3: my name is Bandon Clark, so it's like it's just
Speaker 3: the b C. It depends on the day. So it's
Speaker 3: like today right now, we're young being chilling, like we
Speaker 3: just we're just You're just like, yeah, it's just stuff
Speaker 3: like that. So it could be whatever you want it
Speaker 3: to be. I've had some really funny ones I probably
Speaker 3: can't say on air, but it's kind of there's some
Speaker 3: funny ones. We got young birth Control, we got that.
Speaker 3: I'm a I'm a diehard Broncos fan, so young Broncos
Speaker 3: Country is another one too. So yeah, I didn't say
Speaker 3: it was a good one. I'm just like, I like
Speaker 3: that one. But it depends on the day. It really
Speaker 3: does depend on the day.
Speaker 1: But yes, young BC, Yeah, any Arizona sports that you follow, I.
Speaker 3: You know, since I've come, since I was in college,
Speaker 3: I would say the Sons have definitely been definitely been
Speaker 3: a team, definitely been a I wrap the Suns for sure.
Speaker 2: I always feel about the team right now.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know what the move they just made recently.
Speaker 3: I'm still but I think I was explaining that to someone,
Speaker 3: like it's like those draft picks can end up being
Speaker 3: something I think there's been that's been pretty common with
Speaker 3: in sports. Yeah, I don't know what the Sons are
Speaker 3: doing right now. I think it's very interesting, but I've
Speaker 3: also learned so much, especially being here, I've learned so
Speaker 3: much about Phoenix sports. It's very interesting to me, like
Speaker 3: I've just kind of learned certain patterns and whatnot. But
Speaker 3: I'd say, out of any Arizona sports team, it's the Suns.
Speaker 3: That's absolutely Sons. It's Sons, and then everyone else. I
Speaker 3: respect it, but there's my team. So I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I feel that baseball, who's your team.
Speaker 2: Don't even say Dodgers.
Speaker 3: Boy boy, I'm from southern California, and by the way,
Speaker 3: and if that's the case, I would prefer world champion
Speaker 3: Los Angeles Dodgers if that was cool too.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: Right now I don't remember. I mean, yeah, your ship y,
Speaker 3: I talk about it a little bit. But I don't
Speaker 3: hate the d Backs because I think the d Backs
Speaker 3: are the reason why the Dodgers are this good. I'm
Speaker 3: serious when I say that, because no, I'm serious, because
Speaker 3: the d Backs instilled the fire after they swept the
Speaker 3: Dodgers and then they go and get show Hao Tani
Speaker 3: and the rest is history. So I actually, I like,
Speaker 3: I have no problem with d Back fans. I really don't.
Speaker 3: There is no ill will. I mean, I hate the
Speaker 3: Padres and the Madres if however you want to call
Speaker 3: them or what not, and then the Giants, But no,
Speaker 3: d Batmans are the reason. So shout out d Back fans. Seriously,
Speaker 3: I have no problem, no doubt good. It was real,
Speaker 3: it was real, Do that right? No? No, But yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm a I'm a die and I'm not some bandwagons
Speaker 3: like I've been. I've been a legitimate fan and it's
Speaker 3: cool just from I mean, I hate it's weird to
Speaker 3: talk about the Dodgers with Arizona because it was. Actually
Speaker 3: I'll give you a funny your story. When I started
Speaker 3: at here, I really wanted to go to the World
Speaker 3: Series Parade, but I started like to like, how do
Speaker 3: you tell your boss? Like two days in, like, hey,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go the World Series Parade right now. I
Speaker 3: really wanted to go, but I just started working like
Speaker 3: that way, so I didn't have a good enough excuse
Speaker 3: to be like, I mean, I feel like that could
Speaker 3: be a good excuse me.
Speaker 2: We'll cover it great covers.
Speaker 3: No, it would have been great covered well that they
Speaker 3: did not want. I don't think any Arizona sports they
Speaker 3: do not want any coverage of the Dodgers. Understandable. But
Speaker 3: I will tell any person that is a d Backs
Speaker 3: fan that you know they're there. They are the reason
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't. They got show a Tani, they
Speaker 3: got swept, which I was at Game three, If that
Speaker 3: says anything, I was. I was in Game three. That
Speaker 3: was sucked, but I was there for that. But no,
Speaker 3: I've always did like, yeah, the d Backs and Dodgers,
Speaker 3: it's very it's an interesting relationship. But I think there's
Speaker 3: I think Dodger fans hate other teams more like the
Speaker 3: Padres and the Giants are irrelevant. So it's it's all
Speaker 3: good at.
Speaker 1: And I'm on in San Diego. So I'm I'm the pod,
Speaker 1: you're a poject. That's my second team, the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's good. Well, there's probably a lot of salty
Speaker 3: ones out there right now, so it's all good. So
Speaker 3: if they're listening, it's all good. Please please don't come
Speaker 3: after me on please, Now.
Speaker 2: Back to the sun. How do you feel about Jimmy Butler?
Speaker 2: If possibly love it?
Speaker 3: I love it. I talk about it all the time,
Speaker 3: all the time for it. I'm for it.
Speaker 2: I just don't like the way he's been acting about
Speaker 2: you know, this.
Speaker 3: Is the problem, Okay to me, Jimmy Butler is as
Speaker 3: a competitor. Yeah, and you ask any player that has
Speaker 3: played with him, they all love playing with Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 3: They all love playing with him. I think the right
Speaker 3: now as far as the level of desperation, because this
Speaker 3: team needs a championship. If you're gonna put all this money,
Speaker 3: you need to go get a guy like Jimmy Butler,
Speaker 3: an absolute dog so I think that's the one way
Speaker 3: that I look at it. I'm intrigued to see what
Speaker 3: they would give up for him. But this is if
Speaker 3: there is any guy that you wanted your team, especially
Speaker 3: to go after a guy like pat Riley, that's what
Speaker 3: I want. I want a guy that's gonna be I mean,
Speaker 3: the age is whatever, but like, imagine Jimmy Butler is
Speaker 3: your third option or your set. Like that's pretty good.
Speaker 3: And it's not that I hate on the current team
Speaker 3: right now, but obviously it's a natty. It's just not
Speaker 3: there's there's something internally and then you talk about Nurkic
Speaker 3: and what's happening with.
Speaker 2: That man's crazy.
Speaker 3: Nobody like you talk about that like it's you go
Speaker 3: out and you make this type of trade for Nick Richards,
Speaker 3: And it's kind of interesting to why they did it.
Speaker 3: But they needed to get younger. They were one of
Speaker 3: the worst teams with the center and all that as
Speaker 3: far as scoring points. So I think Jimmy Butler to
Speaker 3: the Suns is a great deal. I just wonder how
Speaker 3: much you give up for him. But also, yeah, there's
Speaker 3: a lot of external factors. I think that situation is
Speaker 3: crazy because I think if any person that to go
Speaker 3: after pat Riley is Jimmy Butler. Like Jimmy Butler would
Speaker 3: do that. He's he's a competitor, and I think the
Speaker 3: son's not saying they don't have that because they do.
Speaker 3: But Jimmy Butler is a true competitor. And I think
Speaker 3: the way that I'm just saying, like sports media in
Speaker 3: general has perceived him, I think they think of him as.
Speaker 2: Arrogant, right, but he would bring some fire.
Speaker 3: He would bring fire that this team needs needs.
Speaker 2: Love Radley Beale.
Speaker 3: I love Radley Bual. It just things. So you know,
Speaker 3: I always say always works out, but some things don't
Speaker 3: always work out. I'm not but I'm not saying I'm
Speaker 3: not saying it can't though, because I mean, he obviously
Speaker 3: has the no trade clause, but he did play at Florida,
Speaker 3: the University of Florida. But he has to be the one,
Speaker 3: He's openly said he has to be the one to
Speaker 3: make that decision. So I don't I mean, I don't
Speaker 3: want people to get traded because obviously that's like you
Speaker 3: think about like the external factors of it. But if
Speaker 3: you were to ask me what I think, Jimmy, I
Speaker 3: talk I think that's the most I talk about in
Speaker 3: this in this building, being a Phoenix Sun. I'm so serious.
Speaker 3: So I don't know, Suns, Let's make something happen. We need,
Speaker 3: we need to see something we need. But I'm actually
Speaker 3: a sunstand. I know it sounds crazy. With all the
Speaker 3: different sports teams, they all have reasoning, but the Sons
Speaker 3: are actually love they are. This is I think the
Speaker 3: Sons are the best team in all of Arizona. I
Speaker 3: think as far as fans sports, really amazing fans, amazing fans.
Speaker 3: So yeah, about time, about time, about time, about time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry, sorry girls, all the sports time everything you said, I.
Speaker 2: Was like, yeah, I want to say. I was like,
Speaker 2: you guys got it.
Speaker 3: See you're like sports, that's all music, anything, so we
Speaker 3: can talk about anything every day.
Speaker 2: No good you guys. You guys hid all the points.
Speaker 2: So yeah, with what they said exactly that part, all.
Speaker 1: Right, any anything else for a special guest today.
Speaker 2: You were like, yeah, we're gonna get to know him.
Speaker 2: I really, I know, we learned so much so I'm
Speaker 2: just taking it all in.
Speaker 3: This is your time right now, like it really?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, and he's gonna start charging for I.
Speaker 3: Know, no, no, I I'm gonna I'm gonna get my
Speaker 3: representative who you were talking to earlier that I was saying,
Speaker 3: like he's got to be my manager now.
Speaker 2: So that's why I have a whole management team.
Speaker 3: I used to have a management team when I started
Speaker 3: when I was seventeen, but then the whole like the
Speaker 3: contract of that stuff was like kind of crazy and
Speaker 3: all that and whatnot. And then I went independent because
Speaker 3: then then in that period, because it was like twenty
Speaker 3: nineteen when I had a management and then like it
Speaker 3: was starting to become a lot more like you don't
Speaker 3: need a label, so it's kind of going towards that,
Speaker 3: and then just kind of you know, creative differences, and
Speaker 3: I want to be able to because everything I basically
Speaker 3: like have created, it's been like through me, and like
Speaker 3: obviously I have like a lot of people that have
Speaker 3: contributed to that and whatnot, But as far as like
Speaker 3: you know, you can only control your own destiny, so
Speaker 3: it's like kind of doing that at the end of
Speaker 3: the day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So how do you feel about that if you
Speaker 1: were approached by a record label, Because we have a
Speaker 1: ton of connections here, so if you know you're in
Speaker 1: somebody's hands and presented it, would you think I.
Speaker 3: Like I said when I took the chance to work
Speaker 3: here at iHeart. I think the one thing is that
Speaker 3: I said, I applied to two hundred and fifty different places,
Speaker 3: and I think the one thing about me no matter what,
Speaker 3: is you're going to get someone that is extremely passionate,
Speaker 3: as you can tell. But also it's just like, you
Speaker 3: give me an opportunity and I'll shine. And I don't
Speaker 3: say that a lot, and well I do, but I
Speaker 3: gotta be I gotta be respectful. But I'd say as
Speaker 3: far as the mentality that I have and what I know,
Speaker 3: every every situation is different. But if the opportunity to
Speaker 3: present itself and it worked out, done deal, there's no
Speaker 3: no question about it. I don't want to say mama
Speaker 3: mentality on here because I know it's a little.
Speaker 1: Like no we love but I know like Lakers and
Speaker 1: Suns and all that.
Speaker 3: But the point is, yeah, I'm already coming out. I'm
Speaker 3: already coming out to like Padre fans today like it's
Speaker 3: all but I'm trying to get canceled, not even not
Speaker 3: even a question, not even a question. Absolutely, I feel
Speaker 3: like I definitely yeah, I think I think music is
Speaker 3: such an interesting place right now. It's very interesting. But
Speaker 3: I also think the one thing that's been helping me
Speaker 3: out is honestly the social media aspect of stuff. And
Speaker 3: that means it's made artist and it's made artists. And
Speaker 3: I think for me, like because like I edit all
Speaker 3: my like I edit my own stuff. I do all like.
Speaker 3: That's why I'm saying like everything is like That's why
Speaker 3: I wanted to be independent, is because I wanted to
Speaker 3: like my merch like all that type of stuff. Like
Speaker 3: I'm fully like that is me locking in for an
Speaker 3: X amount of time figuring stuff out. You No, I don't.
Speaker 3: Time is normally two am and then I'm h if
Speaker 3: I'm hit the gym in the morning, I mean it's
Speaker 3: like seven in the morning. So I'd say, wow, mentality,
Speaker 3: that's a real.
Speaker 2: Girl.
Speaker 3: Shut out the colbrew coffee that's here, by the way,
Speaker 3: It really helps me out a lot. So yeah, i'd
Speaker 3: say that, Yeah, seriously, I would say, obviously, I appreciate that.
Speaker 3: That's awesome connections and all, but I'm still but I
Speaker 3: say that sincerely, like I think, you know, I.
Speaker 1: Mean, it's always worth the conversation. I know there are
Speaker 1: a lot of artists that are just like anti that.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean, because you you can.
Speaker 3: I think it's a situation and the opportunity presents itself.
Speaker 3: I think it works out. But I'm also not here
Speaker 3: telling you that I'm making like a crazy I'm making
Speaker 3: six figures off of this, and so I'm doing I'm
Speaker 3: doing all this other stuff. But I also, like I said,
Speaker 3: I like to be able to do different things. So
Speaker 3: I think if the opportunity presents itself in any anything
Speaker 3: that I do, I'm always gonna give my one hundred
Speaker 3: percent effort. And I think that's why I'm still here
Speaker 3: right now, if I'm being honest, So that for the
Speaker 3: time being, Like, yeah, I mean still I am.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Mean you've been showing up every day for what two
Speaker 1: months with all the things you have going.
Speaker 3: On, to be honest, scenes Yeah, so it's definitely been
Speaker 3: it's been interesting. But I but I think, you know,
Speaker 3: like I said, with like the post grad stuff, i
Speaker 3: think it's been definitely a very interesting transition. But like
Speaker 3: I've been waiting for that in a sense, like to
Speaker 3: be able to do that. And I hate to bring
Speaker 3: it up constantly, but really, like when I was in
Speaker 3: the Olympics and Paris, like that really helped me. That
Speaker 3: really allowed me to get more real life be out, yeah,
Speaker 3: meet different people, like not as if I wasn't already
Speaker 3: doing that, but like just maturing. I think maturing is
Speaker 3: a good way to put it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean it's always good to take whatever
Speaker 1: opportunity presents itself because there, you know, there are a
Speaker 1: lot of mentalities where it's like they look at something
Speaker 1: and there they think they're better than that and they
Speaker 1: won't even give it a shot, not knowing the doors
Speaker 1: they could open, you know. So it's always good to
Speaker 1: have that mental hundred percent.
Speaker 3: That's why I'm saying, like now is the time, Like
Speaker 3: I'm listening, this is a full reflection moment right now
Speaker 3: because I'm not to be turning twenty three, but like seriously,
Speaker 3: like it's.
Speaker 2: You're only twenty three.
Speaker 1: I'm about to be Yeah, man, slip that around, and
Speaker 1: that'sk me with back problems.
Speaker 3: I I actually have back problems, fum back. But yeah,
Speaker 3: but it's just like being able to like right now,
Speaker 3: it's just like to just like I said, it's very
Speaker 3: like low risk, high reward, Like it's like the like
Speaker 3: now the time my mentality has always been the worst
Speaker 3: thing that someone can tell me is no.
Speaker 2: And get back to that same You're in the same
Speaker 2: place exactly.
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, we started out like, yeah, I think
Speaker 3: they're back in the same place. So I was, you
Speaker 3: don't lose nothing exactly exactly. So yeah, well good it. Ship.
Speaker 2: You can't make it with that mentality.
Speaker 3: I appreciate it. Punder Thank you guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know this is this is this is to existence.
Speaker 3: I hope. So you know, I mean, job's obviously not finished.
Speaker 2: Are you gonna do Coachella next year? Hey listen, I'll.
Speaker 3: Tell you this sounds like a crazy take, but being
Speaker 3: from the city, being from there, like what Coachella means
Speaker 3: to me, Like I would rather perform a Coachella than
Speaker 3: win a Grammy. You think I'm sounding like crazy when
Speaker 3: I say that, but no, that's me. That means so
Speaker 3: much to me, a goer. Yeah, like I appreciate it,
Speaker 3: but I've been in so many Coachella is and like
Speaker 3: and just seeing all of it and like especially just
Speaker 3: like cause like just especially with like the city out
Speaker 3: there too, Like it's it's growing a lot more now
Speaker 3: and it makes me really happy because I'll be honest,
Speaker 3: I used to be that type of like artists beforehand,
Speaker 3: like like during high school, like nah, man, I don't
Speaker 3: want to be here, like this sucks and all that.
Speaker 3: But I like it's like it's nothing like the scene.
Speaker 3: Like there's no like actual like music scene per se
Speaker 3: because it's obviously all tourists all that and whatnot. But
Speaker 3: I will say, like the fact that like if you
Speaker 3: told me five years ago that they have their own
Speaker 3: arena now where there's legitimate like justin Timberlake just performed there,
Speaker 3: might get stuff like Olivia Rodrigo, Harry Styles, all these people,
Speaker 3: it's like to be able to do that. But no,
Speaker 3: I'm serious. I'd rather to perform a Coachella. I'd rather
Speaker 3: perform a Coachella than win a Grammy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah, to have this on a record yep
Speaker 1: for when you blow up?
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, because it will. I appreciate that, Okay, Dream
Speaker 3: Collapse Tyler the Crator do you want? Are you sure?
Speaker 3: Everybody crazy? I don't know, it might be a little crazy.
Speaker 3: I mean unreal production on that album. I can't even
Speaker 3: get no, But I'll tell you he's probably my biggest
Speaker 3: influence for everything that I'm saying right now because about
Speaker 3: artistry really no, not even even just everything outside of it.
Speaker 3: And I think he's one of the few artists. I mean,
Speaker 3: people think it's crazy that, Like I think within twenty
Speaker 3: twenty to twenty thirty, I think he could be the
Speaker 3: biggest artist in the decade. When you think about how
Speaker 3: the projection of his albums and how he's been continuing
Speaker 3: to go up, Like that's the craziest thing. You don't
Speaker 3: see that with a lot of especially in a social
Speaker 3: media era, do not see that a lot. But I
Speaker 3: would say, if you were to ask me my top three,
Speaker 3: I would say, oh gosh, Tyler the Creator would be one.
Speaker 3: If I was gonna give you a newer artist that
Speaker 3: I'm like obsessed with and I called I'm not gonna
Speaker 3: call it because I had zero to do with his career,
Speaker 3: But Malcolm Todd is one hell of an artist. If
Speaker 3: y' all know who that is, Malcolm Todd. Malcolm Todd,
Speaker 3: do you want to talk about knowing someone? Okay, have
Speaker 3: you heard the TikTok sounds like I love, I Love.
Speaker 3: That's where people know him from now. But he put
Speaker 3: out an album that was my favorite album last year
Speaker 3: called Sweet Boy one of the best albums of last year,
Speaker 3: no question about it. It's just very alternative. He's from
Speaker 3: the from California, like legitimate. He was my most listened
Speaker 3: to artists last year, and he was like seriously like yeah,
Speaker 3: but that's everyone's now knowing him from that song. So
Speaker 3: people are like, you were saying this like a year
Speaker 3: ago and on that I'm like yeah, And then I
Speaker 3: would say another one. Let's go Cuddy. I'm gonna say Cuddy,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go kick Cuddy. I'm gonna I'm gonna go
Speaker 3: like any like Cuddier like for I would say any RD,
Speaker 3: but I don't think that's gonna be happening right now.
Speaker 3: But I was gonna say, like Kid cut your or
Speaker 3: someone like that. Yeah, but Tyler created number one, one hundred.
Speaker 3: So if if we're manifesting that, let's let's say Tyler Tyler. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean for real, I love Farrell.
Speaker 3: You can do no wrong of my I was gonna
Speaker 3: show up in a for Re shirt. Well, I actually
Speaker 3: was gonna pull I had. I had a cool for
Speaker 3: shired I was gonna wear work today, but I decided
Speaker 3: I got this Viry shirt. I just found out this
Speaker 3: this thing actually exists. I had no idea. It's very comfortable,
Speaker 3: by the way, it's very comfortable.
Speaker 2: Like a special brand.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like a like a Lululemon comfortable.
Speaker 3: I had. I had a special someone give this to
Speaker 3: me for my birthday, and I was like, it's like
Speaker 3: kind of nice. So I was winning it's.
Speaker 2: A special someone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Lou saying nice, you really don't see this.
Speaker 3: I'm decently I'm decently good at organizing because my notes
Speaker 3: app is a notes app is one hell of a thing.
Speaker 3: I will say that. The regular iPhone also like it's crazy. No,
Speaker 3: it's like actually like oh no, it's a full on
