1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:05,559
Speaker 1: This is all most famous Beyond the Bachelor with Susie Evans.

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 2: Hey, guys, welcome back to be on The Bachelor. This

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 2: is your host, Susie Evans. Today I'm going to be

4
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 2: chatting with Lolo. She performed on Nick File's season of

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 2: The Bachelor. They were in New Orleans downtown. It was

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 2: on Rachel Lindsay's one on one. So we're really excited

7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: to jump right in and ask her all the details.

8
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 3: Hi, Hi, how's it going good? How are you good?

9
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: Thank you for hopping on and joining us.

10
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me.

11
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 2: Okay, So you performed your song Shine on Nick Kael's

12
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 2: The Bachelor. What was that experience like for you and

13
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: how did it feel to share your music in a

14
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 2: very different way than what you're probably used to.

15
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: Well, it was it was an interesting experience all the

16
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: way around because the process of what led to me

17
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: even being on the episode, it snowballed really quickly on

18
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: tour at the time, and we were up in the

19
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: in the northwest, the West Coast, which was far from

20
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: New Orleans, which is where we filmed. And I have

21
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: been an avid Bachelor watcher forever. Me and my mom,

22
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: it's like been our thing. All the years that I

23
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: lived away from her, it was our thing, where like

24
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: we would watch it each week and talk to each

25
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: other about it and that kind of thing.

26
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 3: So, and I had just put.

27
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: Out a record at the time, which Seane was on,

28
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: and I had had my management.

29
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 3: I'd said I would love to be.

30
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: Able to take my mom to one of those finale

31
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 1: tapings one day, and like, can you basically just send

32
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: my album and spend a note saying, hey, we have

33
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: this client who loves The Bachelor and connect show their

34
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: mom whatever.

35
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 3: And so a couple of days go by and.

36
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: They called and said, we loved this album and we

37
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: want to fly her next week to film for nick

38
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: viol season.

39
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 3: That's literally what happened, no way.

40
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: So I just genuinely, as a fan of the series,

41
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: wanted to.

42
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 3: Take my mom to Opinality.

43
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: And it snowballed very quickly into this thing. And when

44
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: my manager called me, we were in Seattle and he was.

45
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 3: Like, are you sitting down? And I was like, I'm

46
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 3: not sitting down. Should I be sitting down? Like you

47
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 3: might want to sit down?

48
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: I was like okay, and he was like, they want

49
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: you to fly to New Orleans and film for The

50
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: Bachelor next week, and I was like, so and so

51
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: that was what happened. We flew to New Orleans from

52
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: the Northwest and in the middle of tour, which was crazy,

53
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: and it was an awesome.

54
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 3: Experience because everybody.

55
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: Behind the scenes in Bachelor World, the production team and

56
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: everybody like they everybody was so incredibly nice. And I've

57
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: got to imagine, I've never been the contestant, but even

58
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: just observing what we observed over the course of that

59
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: day filming, things can change so quickly. You know, you're

60
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: obviously dealing with real people in real circumstances, real time,

61
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: real emotions, real feelings. At the drop of the hat,

62
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: somebody can completely change their minds. Somebody can you know,

63
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: go through something emotional, you know, whatever is. And so,

64
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: as a person who's always watched the show, I loved

65
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: being able to see a glimpse behind the scenes in

66
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: that way, and everybody production wized was so incredibly nice,

67
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: and it was really lovely to be able to share

68
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: this song that I've written, which is just genuinely about

69
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: finding your own inspiration, being okay with being who you are,

70
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: and being willing and comfortable to share that with the world.

71
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: It was a wonderful opportunity to be able to share a.

72
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: Message like that through songs in that kind of a space.

73
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 3: That's so cool.

74
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: So okay, that makes me think I love that you

75
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: were a fan beforehand. I'm like, oh, my wheels are

76
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: turning now. And so I'm like, Okay, it sounds like

77
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: what you saw, because I I don't know if you

78
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: still watch it, but I was on the show a

79
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: few years ago, and the number one question people ask

80
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: me is is it real?

81
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 3: Like is it scripted?

82
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: Did they tell you what to say? And so you

83
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: being a fan getting to see behind the scenes and

84
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 2: then hearing your perception of it is so it's actually

85
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: really cool to hear that you felt like it was very.

86
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 3: I think it's real.

87
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: It really is real people in real emotions. So I'm

88
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: guessing I was. My one of my questions was going

89
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: to be do you feel like you believe more in

90
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: reality TV now or less versus after what you see?

91
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 3: What you saw, I guess, yeah, it sounds like you.

92
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: Believe in it or it just seemed real to you.

93
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 3: You know.

94
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: I think the thing about reality TV is that whether

95
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: it's you know, something like The Bachelor or something like

96
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: a TV show where you're literally watching people's lives, like

97
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: keeping up with the Kardashian.

98
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 3: Whatever it is.

99
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: In from the viewer's perspective, I think what can get

100
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: hard is that I think, especially like one of the

101
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: things I feel as a consumer of the Bachelor franchise,

102
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: you hear a lot from especially girls who just go

103
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 1: through difficult things that then air at long after the

104
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: fact and they've been edited and all that kind of stuff,

105
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: and they have to compress hours and hours and hours

106
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: of footage and content into one hour each week. Like

107
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: that's a challenge in and of itself, and so of

108
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: course all of these little moments I think that can

109
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: or would help the viewer understand the realness of it

110
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: a lot more. That gets edited out a lot of

111
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: the time because they have to make choices of Okay,

112
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: well we can only keep this amount for this episode

113
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: because we've got to get from this plot line to

114
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: this plot line.

115
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 3: Whatever that is. And so all of those like the blooper.

116
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: Moment it happens yeah at the women tell all or

117
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: the men tell or.

118
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 3: Whatever that is. They those kinds of moments. I think if.

119
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: That was included more often throughout the whole each each season.

120
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 3: I think I would in theory help the consumer, yeah,

121
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 3: just to.

122
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: Kind of be like, okay, yeah this, these are here

123
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: of these real moments. But again, it's like it's hard

124
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: for production I think probably to have to make those

125
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,679
Speaker 1: decisions otherwise it would turn into.

126
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 3: A totally different show. Probably.

127
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 2: I am with you completely on that and obviously on

128
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 2: this podcast, so often we're like singing the praise of

129
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 2: the show because we're like it, you know, it did

130
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 2: this for my career. It was the most fun experience,

131
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 2: or my wife was a fan, or like people say

132
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 2: that most cool things and.

133
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 3: It's such a positive thing.

134
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 2: But this is one thing where I'm like, Bachelor producers,

135
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: if you're listening, like take this. This is a consumer

136
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 2: of the show who was on the show witness thing

137
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 2: and like has really good feedback. Because that's always been

138
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 2: one of my things too where I'm like, I feel

139
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 2: like there's sometimes an agenda and I totally get it.

140
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 2: It's a produced show, so there has to be storylines,

141
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: there have to be things that move the storylines along,

142
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 2: and so things get cut. But it was so wild

143
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 2: watching back the season I was on and being like

144
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: wait a second, Like there's so many personalities amongst the

145
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 2: women that were just not highlighted, but they were such

146
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 2: a big part of my experience in the house, and

147
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 2: it gives you like empathy for them because when I

148
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: was seeing things happen in real time and then you

149
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: knew the whole context context, and you have like, you know,

150
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: empathy for that person. And then as a viewer, you

151
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 2: see a villain and you're like, oh, they're the worst

152
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: person in the world. But really, you know, everyone's a

153
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 2: bit of a villain, you know, like everyone's got like

154
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 2: has their moments of weakness or whatever. That's really interesting

155
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 2: that I think if the producers ever listen to this,

156
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 2: then that's a really good tidbit of just like, you know,

157
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 2: let more stuff stay in, like the real real stuff.

158
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: Well, I also wonder, you know, I also just wonder.

159
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine what your experience for anyone who's

160
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: got to really put themselves out there to be on

161
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: the show, what the experience is like, just even from

162
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: what I observed in my short time filming, the.

163
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 3: Feeling like for me, I knew exactly what they were going.

164
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: To show, because you know, we knew, we knew what

165
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: we were playing, We knew going into it that they

166
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: were going to use three songs total. They were going

167
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: to use a performance of my song Shine, and then

168
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: you know, because that was you know, we had to.

169
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 3: Agree upon all these things beforehand. Also, there's like music

170
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 3: licenses and clearances and all these kinds of things that

171
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 3: have to go into place, so there can't be any

172
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 3: surprises there. So we knew.

173
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: This was the song they were going to use for

174
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: the majority of the time that we were going to film,

175
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: that we were also going to do one other song

176
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: for extra pickup things that they needed, and then one

177
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: other selection to be played in backgrounds moments throughout the episode.

178
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: We knew that going in. So because I had parameters,

179
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: I knew exactly what to expect. I didn't maybe know

180
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: exactly what the camera angle was going to be, but

181
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: I knew, you know, what was going to go on.

182
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 3: Versus being.

183
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: On the show for you know, the length of time

184
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: that you all are there and you are not in

185
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 1: the editing room you are and also there's all these

186
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: you know, behind the scenes moments where people are having

187
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: their sort of confessional things, all of these moments where

188
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: you are really.

189
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 3: Not involved in a good and also not in control

190
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 3: of what others are doing.

191
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: You're there having to exist as peacefully.

192
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 3: As you can with all a similar objective.

193
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: It's got to be a pretty surreal experience in that way,

194
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: knowing you can't control you know, your aspects of being

195
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: on the show.

196
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely a wild ride.

197
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:19,479
Speaker 4: Yeah.

198
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

199
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 2: And to your point of how things can change so quickly,

200
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 2: did you feel like when you were there, did you

201
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 2: think the chemistry between Nick and Rachel, like, did you

202
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 2: think she was going to go all the way? Or

203
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 2: and also did you get to see other women, Like

204
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 2: did you see him interact with any other women or

205
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 2: was it just the two of them on that date?

206
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: I just saw the two of them on that date,

207
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: and it was really funny because.

208
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 3: I remember thinking.

209
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: That the main the main because also the like I

210
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: there was a period of time where because we have

211
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: brought in you know, earlier in the day, even before

212
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: they were there, we had to set up all of

213
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: our gear, we had to sound check, we had to

214
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: do you know, various things before anybody else showed up.

215
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: And then they started bringing in all of the extra

216
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: sort of bar patron kind of people that they were

217
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 1: bringing in for filming.

218
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then when they when.

219
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: Nick arrived independently first, and he was there with us

220
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: for a little while, and then Rachel arrived, And what

221
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: I remember thinking about their interaction was that they seemed

222
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: very comfortable with each other. They didn't seem like you

223
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: know how sometimes you can see new people who are

224
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: newer in a relationship and their.

225
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 3: Energy still feels like they're still trying to figure out

226
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 3: what their dynamic is. All they like each other, but

227
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 3: they're still trying to figure out.

228
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: You know, they were not They weren't all over each other,

229
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: but they were two people that, you know, you could

230
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: tell they really just very much clicked.

231
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 3: And I don't know whether I was struck with the

232
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 3: fact that I thought she was gonna go all the

233
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 3: way or not.

234
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I do remember somehow she had I don't

235
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: know honestly because it's been a while.

236
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 3: But.

237
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: She had somehow found out from the producers who was

238
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: going to be playing.

239
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 3: She know it was gonna be me, basically.

240
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: And so she had found my album and she had

241
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: been listening to it, and there were a couple other

242
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: songs on the album, and so when I had talked

243
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: with her, she was like talking to me about my music,

244
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 1: and for a good chunk of time after the episodes air,

245
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: especially after Day aired on TV and everything, and you know,

246
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: she would reach out to me.

247
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 3: From time to time being like, I'm listening to this song.

248
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 3: It's making me so happy, you know, Like she had

249
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 3: a we had.

250
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: A genuine interaction about my own music, which I was

251
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: really surprised by. That was one of those things that

252
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: I was It was very flattering and very very cool

253
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: of her to go out of her way to like

254
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: do her research in that sense.

255
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 3: She was like, I wanted to know.

256
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: She was like, I didn't want to just be I

257
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: didn't want to be caught off guard.

258
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 3: I wanted to know.

259
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: What I was going to be listening to, because I

260
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: guess that they had she had found out or they

261
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: told them that live music was going to be some

262
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: kind of part of the date, and so she was like, well,

263
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: who's coming.

264
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 3: I want to know.

265
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: I want to know what the music is. And so

266
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: they had cheered it with her, and I thought that

267
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: was really cool.

268
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 3: That's really Nick was Nick.

269
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: I remember Nick and my guitarist Josh having a really

270
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: funny conversation where.

271
00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 3: Josh is.

272
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: He's just he's hilariously funny anyway, and He loves to

273
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,599
Speaker 1: just make light of every situation, and I think especially

274
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 1: like in a.

275
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 3: Situation where you're just now getting to know.

276
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: Literally meeting someone in an environment where like, Okay, here

277
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: we are with all these cameras on us, and now

278
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna play.

279
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 3: There's a song, and wish you the best on your relationship.

280
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: You know.

281
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 3: It's kind of a really funny dynamic of how to

282
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 3: meet somebody.

283
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: And so he was like, you know, asking him a

284
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: typical question of like, do you ever get tired.

285
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 3: Of all those girls throwing themselves at you? That's funny.

286
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: I don't really remember what nixed response was, but I

287
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: remember Josh asking him that question and Nick kind of

288
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: like looking at him, like, I can't really answer this

289
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: right now.

290
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 3: That is so funny.

291
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 2: I feel like those are two really good, like behind

292
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 2: the scenes examples of I mean, I've always known Nick

293
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 2: to be quite funny and like like cheeky and charming

294
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 2: and just like has that kind of like lightness about him.

295
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 2: And I don't know Rachel that well. I don't know

296
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 2: either of them that well, but I don't know Rachel

297
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 2: as well, but I've met her and I've heard things

298
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 2: about her, and I feel like what you just describe

299
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 2: sounds a lot like who she is, you know what

300
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 2: I mean, like really cares and like takes a particular

301
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 2: interest and wants to do her due diligence, and obviously

302
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 2: with her career has been so successful and so amazing.

303
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: So it's like it's just it feels very on brand

304
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 2: for her to have like cared enough to want to

305
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 2: listen beforehand, and then even like following up and like

306
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 2: making you know, texting you at a later time and

307
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 2: being like, oh, I'm listening to this song. Like that

308
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 2: just feels so genuine and sweet.

309
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 3: I love that it was. It was it was very genuine.

310
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously I spent a day with her filming,

311
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: but you know it was interesting especially once everything aired

312
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: and we saw what the what the rollout of events

313
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: were in that season, and then all also just watching

314
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: Rachel's trajectory from kind of jump point start and then

315
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: everything she's you know, been through since.

316
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 3: She's I think she's I remember.

317
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: Thinking, even in that day I spent with her, she

318
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: seemed like a very grounded person. She seemed very just

319
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: that you know, she just seems to know what her

320
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: purpose is and she that's what she follows, and.

321
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 3: Wow, that's very cool.

322
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 2: So after the show aired and your music was shared,

323
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if it would be shared with a

324
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 2: different audience or maybe like a I don't know if

325
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 2: The Bachelor shared it with a larger audience. Did you

326
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 2: have any kind of like pivotal things that came from

327
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: or came into your career after being on the show,

328
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 2: Like did it jumpstart anything or did it open you

329
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 2: up to a broader demographic of people?

330
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that it definitely brought several opportunities, a

331
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: couple of really interesting touring opportunities and other like feature opportunities,

332
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: and then also interesting just kind of seeing the difference

333
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: in the demographic because at that point I was like,

334
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: you know, really playing to like an alt rock crowd,

335
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: which is not that people who listen to alt rock

336
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 1: do not listen, do not watch The Bachelor. I think

337
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: that there are lots more people that watch The Bachelor

338
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: that cross pollinate in too many different types of music.

339
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 3: But I was really surprised with.

340
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 5: The the out the level of the outreach in general,

341
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 5: So like for the whole next ten days after The Bachelor,

342
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 5: something as what seems maybe very insignificant to others that would.

343
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,479
Speaker 1: Be very significant to artists, especially as you're kind of

344
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: just putting a new record out and those kinds of things.

345
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: It's like on iTunes, when you would pull up iTunes

346
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: if you were searching something like my name.

347
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 3: Lolo was like at the top of the daily searches

348
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 3: for ten whole days, and like that's.

349
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: Really that's a big moment where you get to see

350
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: the immediate turnaround of just the power of the outreach

351
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: and the I mean maybe in some ways also like

352
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: the power of how a show can be put together

353
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: so that a song, like if they're choosing to feature

354
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 1: a live artist, it's like myself or anyone else they

355
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: feature on the show, they capture it and they also

356
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: place it within the course of the episode in a

357
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: way where it leaves a really big impact on people

358
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: enough so that then you want to turn around and immediately.

359
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 3: Like search for the thing that you've heard.

360
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: And that is really powerful, you know, because I think

361
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: especially now in the way that artists in general are

362
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: trying to figure out way always try to figure out

363
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,479
Speaker 1: new ways to reach their audience, and you know, social

364
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: media has given us obviously huge ability to reach so

365
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: many more people than we ever could in the past.

366
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 3: But there's something about.

367
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: You know, millions of people watching you on TV at

368
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: the same time that you know it leaves an enormous impact.

369
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 3: And it was exciting to be able.

370
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: To see how my song being featured in a special

371
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 1: moment in that show not only could reach so many people,

372
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: but then there were other waves in which that song

373
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: was able to receive attention and be featured in other

374
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 1: spaces in other movies, TV opportunities like synk licensing, all

375
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: the touring, all the things that happened.

376
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 3: I was. I ended up being on Rachel Ray as

377
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 3: a part of that and doing.

378
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: A bunch of stuff with her down at south By

379
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: Southwest on the back end of all of that, which

380
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:40,959
Speaker 1: was really really cool, and it happened like very organically

381
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: out of the ship, out of the song being featured

382
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: on the show, and then of course you know of

383
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: action that happened after that, and then also the for

384
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: that season they continued to use Shine and two of

385
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: my other songs like throughout the rest of the scene

386
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: in as soundscapes and thong scapes, and so I was

387
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: and I think I'm assuming because the music was well received,

388
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: but that's that's the best case scenario, you know what

389
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: I mean. Obviously, I'm the kind of person where I

390
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: go into everything I do and I hope for the best.

391
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: I don't assume it's all going to be a giant nightmare.

392
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: I assume, Okay, we're gonna do everything we can do

393
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: and make it everything we can make it. But you

394
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: never really know what's going to happen. So to see

395
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: the response that we got and then to have the

396
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: ripple effects that happened, it was really awesome.

397
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, so awesome.

398
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, Okay, before we wrap up, I want to ask

399
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 6: when you have on the horizon currently where can you

400
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 6: find you What are some cool projects you are working

401
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 6: on or planning.

402
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 2: In the near future.

403
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: So the thing I'm always working on is raising my toddler.

404
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 3: At a three year old boy, and he is awesome.

405
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: And so in amongst everything I do, I have my

406
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: silly little boy that goes with me and does everything

407
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: with me, and that's been wonderful.

408
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 3: That's cool.

409
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 1: And so this year particularly has been a big year

410
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 1: of creating things so that next year this is the

411
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: like input year, so that next year can be the

412
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,239
Speaker 1: output year kind of thing. So, and I'm working on

413
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: a couple of different things that are a little like

414
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: all each in their own little corner. But I'm making

415
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: a new album. I'm in the process of writing and

416
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: recording all of that, and I'm hoping to be done.

417
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 3: With all of the recording by October.

418
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: And I am working on an independent musical film.

419
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 3: It's a it's also a Western.

420
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: It's basically like Oklahoma the Musical meets Killed Bill.

421
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 3: Sounds awesome.

422
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: It's a really incredible script and everything it's being created,

423
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: including the music and getting the cast together, all those

424
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: kinds of things so that next year we can go

425
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: film the project next summer. And that project is called

426
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: My Father's Daughter, And it's been really it's been a

427
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: really interesting project to work on because you follow this

428
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: girl who it's set in old Western time. You follow

429
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: this girl who she loses her family due to you know,

430
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: like a gang kind of trying to take over her

431
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: family's farm, and then you follow her as she basically

432
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: seeks revenge for her family. But the the way that

433
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: the story is written, you stay so in her corner

434
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: and you so want to see her succeed. But the

435
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 1: way that the story weaves and there's all these surprises

436
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: that happen, and it's been really it's been a really

437
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: interesting and totally different like of all the songwriting I've

438
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: ever done or any kind of projects I've ever worked on.

439
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: It's been something completely different than I've ever done in

440
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 1: the past. And so.

441
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 3: The story itself and the project itself is really fun

442
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 3: to work on.

443
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 1: But it's been really fun to do something that's just

444
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: completely different than anything I've tried in the past. And

445
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: then I'm also developing a little kids show, so it'll

446
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: be like a song and storytime kind of thing that

447
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: I'm working on with one of my longtime friends and collaborators.

448
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 1: And so that's the thing that we're developing. And again

449
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: that's been a brand new situation because it's going to

450
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: be an animated project. So I've never worked on something

451
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: where we like work with an animator. That's been a

452
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 1: really wild process, totally new. But all three things that

453
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 1: have been amazing to work on this year, and and

454
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 1: we'll all start to see the light of day starting

455
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: kind of at the beginning of next year. But I'm

456
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: gonna have a couple of little singles that'll be coming

457
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: out in the fall.

458
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 3: Its music videos and some other stuff like that.

459
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: So everything for me can be found at lolo music

460
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: dot com and then if you follow me on socials,

461

Speaker 1: it's all at Lolo Music amazing.

462
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you for having me.

463
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, it was a pleasure getting to get the scoop.

464
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 2: I feel like I learned more about that season the

465
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 2: Bachelor and I love that. Thank you guys for listening

466
