Yeah, like this is a very hard 179 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 3: thing to answer. 180 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, well I've got. 181 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: Man ready, let's start one for one again. 182 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 2: So first of all, I think it's very obvious one 183 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 2: of my royal flushes of the year would be the 184 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 2: Wicked movie. Definitely, all of that. Remember all the hype 185 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 2: surrounding the premiere, when I met Arianna and Cynthia, all 186 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 2: the rest of that. That little interaction I had watching 187 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 2: the movie for the first time at the State Theater 188 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 2: with everybody in the room was just such a magical experience. Obviously, 189 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 2: Wicked means so much to me and I just love it. 190 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 2: I think they did the movie justice. I think all 191 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 2: of the merch surrounding it so fabulous. Again, similar to Barbie, 192 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 2: basically same points I said last year about Barbie is 193 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 2: what I'm going to say about Wicked. That has to 194 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 2: be one of the biggest pop culture moments in a 195 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 2: very long time. And I just think the whole campaign 196 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 2: and everything was executed so well. I was obsessed with it. 197 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 2: I can't wait for it to come out on streaming, 198 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 2: so I can probably just watch it every single day to. 199 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: Wait for it to come out on streaming, so I 200 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: can watch it because I don't want to go looking 201 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: to people. 202 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 3: I can sing in the movie shut Up. 203 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 2: And so I would say one of my biggest royal 204 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,119 Speaker 2: flushes of the year is the Wicked movie. 205 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: Okay, well, one of mine is Addison Ray turning from 206 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: a TikToker doing dances that were cringe into quite literally 207 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: a pop star. I liked her when she was a TikToker, 208 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: like in COVID times, and it's been really cool to 209 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: watch someone fully go from like a cringe TikToker for 210 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: kids into what she's doing now. Like she even did 211 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: that movie like He's All That or whatever it was, and. 212 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 3: That was cringey. 213 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: But I've seen a lot of people like speculating her 214 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: career saying like sometimes to get to like be a 215 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 1: proper celebrity, you have to do those cringe things. Yeah, 216 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,839 Speaker 1: and now she's just fully rebranded successfully and like I 217 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: love Aquamarine, Like do you. 218 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 3: Love that song? Like it's like it's so fucking cool 219 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 3: and good. 220 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: Like I feel like a lot of songs that come 221 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: out or like if there's a new pop star, it's 222 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: like stuff we've sort of heard before. And I know 223 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: people say, like Aquamarine is kind of like old Madonna vibes, 224 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: but I don't know, I just feel like it's new 225 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 1: and I'm looking forward to seeing like what she does 226 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: in the future because for so long, like we've had 227 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: the same celebrities and the same like artists right like 228 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: we've had Katie Perry, We've had Rihanna, we had Beyonce, like, 229 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: but they're all getting kind of fucking old now. So 230 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 1: I think it's like, I'm loving just seeing this wave 231 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: of new singers and celebrities come in like Sabrina Chapel, 232 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: Charlie Charlie, and then I feel like Addison's gonna become 233 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: even more one of those girls. So I would say 234 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 1: her rebrand is being in one of my royal flashes. 235 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 2: Of the year. I think there are two things to 236 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 2: note here on this conversation. First of all, I think 237 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 2: that I saw a TikTok from someone who compared the 238 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 2: trajectory of someone like Charlie Demilio to Addison Ray. And 239 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 2: the fact that Addison Ray did a lot less on 240 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 2: purpose and kind of worked behind the scenes to then 241 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 2: give people something really polished and well executed, whereas someone 242 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 2: like Charlie Demilio maybe just took every opportunity that came 243 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 2: her way and was a bit of a yes, yes 244 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 2: man or yes woman to all the opportunities. She did 245 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 2: the reality show, she let people in, she did everything 246 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 2: like so and it kind of overwhelmed everyone, whereas Adison 247 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 2: Ray was like under she she kind of. 248 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 3: Dropped off for a while. 249 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: She did and didn't post a TikTok for like six 250 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: to twelve months and then would post one random little video. 251 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, and then I think the other second point is 252 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,439 Speaker 2: talking about the music industry and seeing people like Sabrina, 253 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 2: Charlie Chapel and who was the other one you said, 254 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 2: Addison right, Well, not so much Addison Ray, I guess 255 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 2: for this example. But it's funny how you said, like, 256 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 2: you know, all the Beyonces and the Lady Gagas and 257 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 2: the Katy Perry's, they kind of, you know, have dropped off. 258 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 2: I think it's funny because the way that the music 259 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 2: industry works, it's a little different for Sabrina carbon To, 260 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 2: given this as her sixth album, Slash EP, I think yeah, 261 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 2: but you know, remember Lady Gaga, Like she came out 262 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 2: with her like just very standard. You're just dance like 263 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 2: that's gonna please pretty much everyone. It's an earworm, it's 264 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 2: basic lyrics, it's a good dance track. It's going to 265 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 2: be able to be played on radio. Blah blah blah blah. 266 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 2: Same with Ariana Grande. Actually she's a better example. Sorry 267 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 2: to switch up. Ariana Grande is a better example. Her 268 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 2: first album, even her second album, were very tailored to 269 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 2: be like a number one hit. Like they were like, 270 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 2: we want this to go number one, We want it 271 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 2: played on every radio session. We want songs like you 272 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 2: break Free that just still gets played. 273 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 3: To this day and everyone basic pop song. 274 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 2: Yeah. But then what happens is, after they've made their 275 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 2: break in the music industry, they then start to peel 276 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 2: off and try to be a bit more experimental or 277 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 2: make the music that they want to actually make and 278 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 2: have wanted to make the entire time, and then they 279 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 2: start to either lose fans or fans lose interests. 280 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 3: They've changed. 281 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 2: People say they've changed. Rihanna's probably like the best if 282 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 2: you listen to like Rihanna's first album Slash, even that 283 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 2: loud album with only Girl in the World in it. Yes, 284 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 2: listen to that and then listen to something like Anti. 285 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 2: They could be two different artists, yep, you know. And 286 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 2: so I think they get they get to a point 287 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 2: where they're like, I don't want to make this shitty 288 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 2: music that I actually don't care or connect with, which 289 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 2: is so fair as an artist. I'm not saying there's 290 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 2: anything wrong with that, but I think it's like it's 291 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 2: like the music industry lulls people into a false sense 292 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 2: of security with like these big bangers and big you know, 293 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 2: even Sabrina with Espresso and Espresso was such a big song. 294 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 2: Even when she released Short and Sweet, I was kind 295 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 2: of like, I just wanted a whole album full of Espresso. 296 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 2: None of this like sounds the same or it doesn't 297 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 2: seem like it fits. It's like Espresso went, you know, 298 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 2: really made her career and she gave us please, Please, Please, 299 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,599 Speaker 2: And I was like, it's a good song, Like I 300 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 2: still I do love it, and I still play it 301 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 2: and I still listen to it, but it's like so 302 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 2: different to what I was expecting or wanting. M I mean, 303 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,199 Speaker 2: you always have your diehard fans that stick around forever. 304 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 2: But I think that's that happens, is like once the 305 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 2: Katy Perryes of the world start making this music that 306 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 2: they actually want to make, they lose that radio play, 307 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 2: they lose those fans, and then they've just got their 308 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 2: core fandom. 309 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 3: I just think. 310 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: I mean, like I think back, like think back to 311 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: when our parents were young, they had their Beyonces and 312 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: Katy Perry's and everything, which would have been like Elvis 313 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: and the Beatles and everything. And then I feel like 314 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,119 Speaker 1: we've had these big artists. The Lady Gargars are Beyonces. 315 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: It's like cool to think that one day, like the 316 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: Lady Gargars and Beyonces are going to be like the Beatles, 317 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: and do you know what I mean, Like the generations 318 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: like now there's like a new wave of artists coming through, 319 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: so that kids' generations below us are going to have 320 00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: their Beyonces, you know, because then the way that we go, oh, 321 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: Tom Jones, but like to our parents and whatever, Tom 322 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: Jones is like Beyonce. Yeah, it's like each generation has 323 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: their own icons. 324 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. 325 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 3: It's just really interesting to see, Like I'm excited for them. 326 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 2: It is so first Royal flush of the year is 327 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 2: Addison Ray Love that my second one of the year 328 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 2: is actually a musical that I saw that actually really 329 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 2: surprised me. It's Titannique. And if this musical ever comes 330 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 2: to your city, it's one of it's more of like 331 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 2: an off Broadway sort of vibe, like it's not going 332 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 2: to be in your big at least not at the moment. 333 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 2: It's not going to be in your big theaters. It's 334 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 2: not going to be promoted heavily, it's not going to 335 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 2: have the budget. It's a smaller production that I went 336 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 2: and saw. It's Titanique. It's a musical that is made 337 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 2: up of Selene Dion songs. The premise of the musical 338 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 2: is that Selene Dion was actually on the Titanic and 339 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 2: she retells the story. And so I'm not the biggest 340 00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 2: Titanic fan, Like I've watched the movie. Cool, it's good, whatever. 341 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 2: I couldn't tell you what happens really except that they 342 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 2: hit an iceberg and then Celine dionn not the biggest fan. 343 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 2: I don't know all of her songs. But I went 344 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 2: and I really enjoyed not only the music but the 345 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 2: story and also how funny it was. I don't think 346 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 2: I stopped laughing from start to finish. There are a 347 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 2: lot of references to really updated references of today's like 348 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 2: pop culture. There's even a bit of improv in the show, 349 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 2: so it like leans into being able to make a 350 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 2: joke off the cuff that may be really relevant to 351 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 2: that specific day that you're seeing the musical. So it's 352 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 2: almost like you get a different musical each time you go. 353 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 2: And it was really like one of the best musicals 354 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 2: I've seen in such long time. And as I said, 355 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 2: it was a lower budget I guess production like it 356 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 2: wasn't in a big theater. It was in a smaller 357 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 2: theater in Sydney. And if it's running and it comes 358 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 2: to you in twenty twenty five or I know, I 359 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 2: think it runs a lot in New York. Maybe if 360 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 2: you ever find yourself over there, if you find yourself 361 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 2: in a city, or if it comes to your city, 362 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 2: I would highly recommend seeing Titanic. It is one of 363 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 2: the best musicals I've seen in such a long time, 364 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 2: so smart, so witty, so fun, and I just had 365 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 2: the best night out. And I've been advocating for it 366 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 2: ever since. Anyone who asks or if it comes up 367 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 2: in a conversation or anything like that, I am straightway 368 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 2: recommending that they get tickets and go and see it. 369 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 2: So I'm passing that recommendation onto all of you. Titannique. 370 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 2: That's spelt like Titanic, but instead of c it's que. 371 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 2: It's very gay, It's very camp and you'll absolutely love it. 372 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 4: Well. 373 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: My second Royal flush of the year, more of a 374 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: personal one but still was on the internet, would definitely 375 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: have to be our seventh Birthday giveaway we did for 376 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: our seven customers, as well as the community event that 377 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: we did when we did the seven Customers brand trip. 378 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: I know we've already spoke about this on the pod anyway, 379 00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: we did a big recap of it, so I won't 380 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: go into dail, but just feel like that was a 381 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: really big Royal flush for me in my journey and 382 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 1: just being able to like share I guess our fate 383 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: world with like seven of our customers and like have 384 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,360 Speaker 1: them with us and host them and kind of show 385 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 1: them Newcastle as well. I feel like we brought a 386 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 1: lot of tourism to Newcastle in that in those three days, 387 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 1: especially for the customer event that we did in the night, 388 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: because people came from fucking Hobart, New Zealand, Melbourne, Brisbane, 389 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: people came from all over, So it was us bringing 390 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: the tourism to Nui and it was just a big 391 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: bucket list career moment for me, just being able to 392 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: use this business that I have built off the back 393 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,239 Speaker 1: of fucking starting YouTube videos to the point where I 394 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: got to, you know, fly seven customers to spend three 395 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 1: days with us and treat them like influencers. I just 396 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 1: think that's a massive royal flush for. 397 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 3: Me for sure. 398 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a Royal flush. Yeah, for sure. Loved 399 00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:00,120 Speaker 2: that and so my third and final Royal Flush of 400 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. Going back to music again, going back 401 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 2: to Sabrina Carpenter, it actually would have been her at Coachella. 402 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 2: I think that we saw so much, so many sorry 403 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 2: viral videos come out of her Coachella performance. Obviously we 404 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 2: got espresso from her Coachella performance, and I think that 405 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 2: really solidified her. So in the same way that you 406 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 2: were like Addison Ray and. 407 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: London drinking, I reckon like, I don't know if it'll 408 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: be next Coachella that Addison Ray plays, but maybe the 409 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 1: one after, because I will say she went on stage 410 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: with Charlie XCX and Troice of Art. 411 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 3: Did you see that? 412 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: You can tell she doesn't have the confidence on the 413 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 1: stage yet, Like she seems nervous in some parts. So 414 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: I don't know if she'll be at Coachella twenty twenty five, 415 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: but maybe the one after. 416 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 3: I don't know. 417 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 2: Also, maybe just has a bit of imposter syndrome. 418 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I reckon for sure she would feel like a 419 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 1: fishy out of water, like being a TikToker and then 420 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: all of a sudden and you're hanging out with all 421 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: these fucking celebs. 422 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be wild for sure. 423 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 3: But yours was Sabrina at Coachella. 424 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just think like we got such a big 425 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 2: you know, there was just such a big response online 426 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,719 Speaker 2: from her, and it really solidified her as an artist. 427 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 2: And I even, as I said earlier in the year, 428 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 2: when I saw the Errors tour, I was like, not 429 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 2: a huge Sabrina. I mean, Sabrina got canceled at our show. 430 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 2: But the other show I went to, I was like, 431 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 2: it's too hard. I can't sit out here and watch 432 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 2: this Sabrina girl around and sing her songs. So I 433 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 2: went and got a hot dog on sat inside and 434 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 2: I'm like kicking myself that I didn't enjoy Sabrina Carpenter 435 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 2: because I didn't really know her, and now she's one 436 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 2: of my favorite artists. And probably I mean, at the 437 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,360 Speaker 2: time of recording, Spotify Rap hasn't quite come out yet, but. 438 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 3: I remember that came out last year. I was like, 439 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 3: mine's rigged for sure. 440 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, so true, it's coming out. I don't know. I 441 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 2: think it's only a couple days away, so we'll probably 442 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 2: be able to do our Spotify raps. In a MA episodes, 443 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,640 Speaker 2: he probably would have, oh my god, it's so confusing. 444 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 2: We're coming to you from back in time. But you've 445 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 2: probably already heard the episode where we discuss our Spotify rap. 446 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 2: So I'm assuming she will be up well. And truly, 447 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 2: if Espresso isn't my number one played song of the year, 448 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 2: I will be very surprised. But yeah, Sabrina Comenta at 449 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 2: Coachella and just her whole career trajectory in general, the 450 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 2: concerts as well, the juno positions. You know, there's so 451 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 2: much virality from her. She's really killing it. So yeah, 452 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 2: love Well my. 453 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: Third Royal flush of the year, and there could be 454 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: so many more. But I'm going to stick with the 455 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: music theme as well. Now I don't know how long 456 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: ago it was, but on the pod I was raving 457 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: about Tate McCrae And this was a while. 458 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 3: Ago now I think, yeah, and I actually remember something, Matt. 459 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know what you're going to say that. 460 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 3: You said that you didn't really like her. 461 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 4: Oh I didn't say. 462 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 2: I don't know if I said I didn't really like her. 463 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 2: I don't really care for her, but I did rebut against. 464 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 2: I remember you being like, she's gonna be the next 465 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,640 Speaker 2: Britney Spears and I went, no, you're wrong. 466 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: And I remember were one day we were downstairs in 467 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: the lobby waiting to come up here and I just 468 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: listened to like a holy of her songs on the way. 469 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 1: I was like, Matt, I've been listening to this Tate 470 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: mccraig girl, Like have you seen this or whatever?

I spoken about 510 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 2: that on the podcast before. If not, I was gonna 511 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 2: make a video about it, but then I thought I 512 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 2: didn't want to start a shit storm. But she's actually 513 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 2: so obvious, and once you figure out when she isn't 514 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 2: isn't lip syncing, it's actually really obviously tells her on 515 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 2: the errors to her. I noticed that if she's genuinely singing, 516 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 2: the microphone is really close to her mouth. It's actually 517 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,439 Speaker 2: touching her lips most of the time, and that's her 518 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 2: real voice. As soon as she starts lip syncing, she 519 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 2: actually pulls the microphone away to like fifteen twenty centimeters 520 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 2: away from her mouth, and it's really obvious. It's like 521 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,400 Speaker 2: she doesn't know she's doing it. It's like a subconscious thing. 522 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 2: But it's like when she knows she's singing, she's got 523 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 2: to have it right up at her mouth, and then 524 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 2: when she is lip syncing to catch. 525 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: Her ross wondered by the way, like when artists do 526 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: lip sync and fair enough, like no one can fucking 527 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: sing for three hours straight and dance and perform for 528 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:57,239 Speaker 1: three hours. Why don't they do a recording like in 529 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: a studio or whatever, and that's what they play out, 530 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 1: but it's it's like seems and sounds raw, do you 531 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like Britney Spears, for example, would 532 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: just not that she's performing anymore, but you would just 533 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: lip sync to her albums, like just to the songs 534 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: that are on the album, the full studio like Perfection, 535 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: Like why don't they go in the studio and do 536 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: like some live recordings, they can tweak them a little bit, 537 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: but so they still sound really natural. So then it 538 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: would be harder for us to pick up on if 539 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: they are lip syncing or not, Like why don't they 540 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 1: do that? 541 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, beats me, that's what I would do. 542 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 2: You'd you be a lip syncer? 543 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 3: Yeah? 544 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:35,439 Speaker 2: Really no? 545 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: I would try to sing, like but then if for 546 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: a few songs I was going to go into lip syncing. 547 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: I'd make it a studio recorded raw that's just slightly 548 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: edited but not really. 549 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 4: Yeah. 550 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 2: I'm also like, I mean, I know, again here's me 551 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 2: switching up halfway through a segment, but I know.

Because I guess 556 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:02,679 Speaker 2: a concert is so there's so many aspects. There's so 557 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 2: many aspects to the changing your main mind, so many 558 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 2: aspects to the whole thing. Even if Tate McCrae is 559 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 2: lip sinking at this part, can't I enjoy a different 560 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 2: aspect of the contents? 561 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: Like she's so out of breath, I would be too. 562 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: I walk up four steps to get to the door 563 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: at no over here and unpuffed, doing a whole dance, 564 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: no thanks. 565 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 3: And still making sure you look good, like making sure 566 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 3: you look good? 567 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 5: You know? 568 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 3: Fuck me? 569 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, jump in, jump in Hannah, last episode of 570 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 2: the year, jump in your final coming to add to this, 571 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 2: so in your cam I was. 572 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 5: Just gonna say that, like, as a big Addison Ray fan, 573 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 5: like you've got your studio artists, and then you've got 574 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 5: your live performance on. 575 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. 576 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 5: So she was on the Sweat Tour, people were like, 577 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 5: she can't sing, blah blah blah.

But if I'm seeing fucking Tate McCrae, 588 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 5: or if I'm saying little Addie Ray, yeah, it doesn't matter. 589 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agreed. 590 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: And I can see Addison Ray not being like an 591 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: arena girl, and if she is, it's going to be 592 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: like lip singing and it's all about the show. 593 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 3: I don't care.

Any circus trick they could have done, they did. 599 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 2: She had quick changes on stage, she had magic tricks. 600 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 2: She came out of the stage, she flew across the stage, 601 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 2: she did this, she did that. They had costume changes, 602 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 2: fairy floss, fucking backup dancers doing cartwheels to distract you 603 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 2: from the fact that her voice was not very strong 604 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 2: at that point in their career. But she had what 605 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 2: we've spoken about. We spoke about that album, that first album. 606 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 2: She released, hit after hit after hit after hit. She 607 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,120 Speaker 2: had so many hits. There was so much money to make, 608 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 2: but she hadn't trained her live vocals enough to actually 609 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 2: sing well. So they had to distract the audience with 610 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 2: fucking lollipops and giant cats and fucking do you know 611 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 2: what I mean?

I 617 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 4: don't care if you're sinking or not, and I'll probably 618 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 4: change my mind again tomorrow. 619 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,360 Speaker 3: I'm wishing another life.

I could do that. 629 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 3: Why don't we sign up as a duet then?
