1 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: Who's gone little bit like this, ah, seventeen past five, 2 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,799 Speaker 1: and that's of course Lord's new single just dropped, as 3 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: the second one just dropped one hour and seventeen minutes ago. 4 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: Trouble is, some KIWI fans feel that Lord might be 5 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,440 Speaker 1: playing a little too hard to get with the Kiwis 6 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: because just ninety six of the Kiwi fans got led 7 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 1: into her very exclusive listening party and the toilets at 8 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: the Auckland Central YMCA. Our producer Sam Robinson was one 9 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: of the hundreds dying to get him, but is absolutely 10 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: not able to and he's with me now, Hi. 11 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 2: Sam, Hi, Heather. You know, Bishop was just sitting in 12 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 2: the seat and I think this is a really great 13 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,480 Speaker 2: follow up to that. You know, it's a really great 14 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 2: It flows on most. 15 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: Because both of you are music enthusiasts, hundred for Sea 16 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: and from the Hut. Yeah, and both from the Hut. 17 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: There you go. Did she use this toilet gig as 18 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,639 Speaker 1: part of her video like she did with the thing 19 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 1: that she did in New York. 20 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 2: No, So there was a lot of confusion about what 21 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 2: was going to happen with this toilet gig. I mean 22 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 2: all day people were by people, I mean me were 23 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 2: running around trying to find out what was happening and 24 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 2: where there were cameras that were in the cubicles though, 25 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 2: so something might come of that footage, and she did 26 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 2: go live on Instagram live, but I just watched the 27 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 2: video and can confirm no, no footage. No footage, yea, 28 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 2: no footage from the bathroom. 29 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: You were telling me that the guy who organizes these 30 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: things is a bit of like a wonder kid. 31 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 2: Yeah. So his name is Terrence O'Connor. He is the 32 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 2: mastermind behind Bratt Summer from last year, if anyone will remember, 33 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 2: and he's also he's around, He's on Tektalk. You've probably 34 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 2: seen him if if you're scrolling enough, and he is 35 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 2: a marketing genius. Gen z kind of gets all these 36 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 2: crowds out. And I think that's kind of what last 37 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 2: night was, is a way to kind of announce that track. 38 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: So something about this will go viral. Yeah, Hunter, So 39 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: you're telling me that the YMCA Vincent Street toilets are 40 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: going to be seen worldwide if. 41 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 2: They already have been. Last night, Lord went live to 42 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 2: premiere some of some of those new songs on her 43 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 2: Instagram and I think ten thousand people were listening and 44 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 2: watching those beautiful, those beautiful toilets. 45 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: I'm getting a lot of texts from people who hate 46 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: on Lord. Now is this because Lord? Are we doing 47 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: the crowded house thing to Lord right now where she's 48 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: our child so we're hyping her too heavily or are 49 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: they not understanding that she's a big deal globally. 50 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 2: Well, New Zealand is a great place to live when 51 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 2: you don't have someone complaining about tool poppy syndrome in 52 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 2: your ear. But I do think there is a case 53 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,399 Speaker 2: of toolpoppy syndrome when it comes to Lord. I think 54 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 2: we really love to claim our artists, and when they 55 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 2: don't always come back and give us the best thing first, 56 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 2: we tend to be a bit of hateful. And I 57 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 2: bet if I got in last night, we would be 58 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 2: having a completely different conversation. 59 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: Suh, No, you misunderstand me. The texts are like, Lord 60 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: is overrated, She's not that great, her music sucks that 61 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: kind of thing. 62 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 2: Look, I mean she is definitely for the audience she 63 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 2: is for, and I am that prime audience. I think 64 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 2: a lot of people may age at that prime audience. 65 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 2: If you were fourteen when Pure Heroin came out, when 66 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 2: that first album dropped, You're hoked for life. There is 67 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 2: no way you're getting off that train, no matter why. 68 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: It was a moment, wasn't it. Hey, So Chris Bishop 69 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: was just saying he's off to the Music Awards tonight. 70 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 1: Is Lord going to be there? 71 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 2: Well, the rumor is that Lord is going to be there. 72 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 2: She's been nominated for Single of the Year for her 73 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: remix of Charlie Xx's Girl. So confusing and yeah, these 74 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 2: conflicting reports. I think she'll be there. Apparently she told 75 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 2: people in the bathrooms last night that she will, and 76 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 2: that's actually what she's come back to New Zealand for. 77 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 2: So the question is whether she'll perform tonight. 78 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: Okay, can she? Did she explain why she's not performing 79 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: here on her tour at all? 80 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 2: Look, I think that may have been a bit, isn't it, Sam? 81 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think the way tours roll 82 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 2: out nowadays, they need to see how those tickets sell. 83 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 2: And I'll tell you Solar Power Tour did not sell 84 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 2: super well overseas, so I think maybe the label are 85 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 2: just holding back, waiting to announce those dates until they 86 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 2: see how well America is selling. But with the way 87 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 2: that this album is being publicized and latched onto. I 88 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 2: think we're going to have no trouble selling out any 89 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 2: venue in you said, and. 90 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: Have you got over missing out on the toilet gig? 91 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 2: No? But if Lord is listening, she is welcome to 92 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 2: invite me to any other private listening parties. 93 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: I think she's listening to to news radio while she's 94 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: putting her face on. 95 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 2: Isn't listening to you? Right? Sam? 96 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: That's exactly what she said, having a little bit of 97 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: a kickback and just getting some other and spo, isn't 98 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: she while she puts. 99 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 2: Her face Yeah, there's inspiration from everywhere, and you inspire 100 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 2: me every day. 101 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: Honestly, listen to this nonsense out of this kid's mouth. 102 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: I have to listen to this crap all day.
