Speaker 3: that shirt?
Speaker 2: Where did we get it? Forever twenty one?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Forever?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did some heavy shopping this these shop Forever
Speaker 1: twenty one star and Starbucks and Starbucks.
Speaker 2: That's all you have?
Speaker 5: Any buyers? Re Morris, do you guys get that ever?
Speaker 3: I'm got it forever twenty one because your pants seven
Speaker 3: dollars for something that costs to make. I did, oh yeah,
Speaker 3: because she was like she was, I just want to
Speaker 3: get the hell out of there. And so as soon
Speaker 3: as she found her shirt, I just go give it
Speaker 3: to me. Let me just get it, because I know
Speaker 3: if she's buying it herself, she'll kind of go, well,
Speaker 3: do I need this, and then I maybe get this
Speaker 3: And what does that sound?
Speaker 2: Is someone hammering?
Speaker 6: Do you.
Speaker 2: Knocking? Somebody's knocking? Yeah, I think it's nice door. No,
Speaker 2: I think the old lady moves. It's your fertility. Yeah,
Speaker 2: something knocking.
Speaker 3: You don't want.
Speaker 2: A couple of weeks? I have till eleven tonight?
Speaker 1: What had some deadline?
Speaker 2: You do have a deadline with? Aren't you freezing him
Speaker 2: with some No? I'm not freezing them.
Speaker 3: No, but you were offered oh yeah, a bestie's dad
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, I'll do it for half price. But
Speaker 3: then I was going to do it low. And it's
Speaker 3: not about the price. It's not I can afford it. Listen,
Speaker 3: I spent thirteen thousand dollars on Taylor swimt tickets.
Speaker 2: God do you care for all that?
Speaker 3: I'm being open about it your tailing. At first, I
Speaker 3: was like I spent a lot of money. It was like,
Speaker 3: this is a child's tuition for half a semester or whatever.
Speaker 3: And now I'm just saying why not full transparency? And
Speaker 3: it sounds like a brag. Maybe it's a humble brag
Speaker 3: hashtag Harris whittles, but is it's just it is what
Speaker 3: it is? What it is, and you know what, people
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't care if people know. It's not
Speaker 3: me bragging. It's funny that I spent thirteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: And if you know Taylor Swift, that's her lucky number.
Speaker 3: So that's when I saw the price, I go, I
Speaker 3: gotta do it.
Speaker 2: Do it. I would have been twenty six thousand.
Speaker 3: I would have been like, that's thirteen times too, I
Speaker 3: gotta do it.
Speaker 5: That's the same logic you used as Zara.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, but I learned from you at Zara. You were like,
Speaker 1: are you going to try this on? No, I'm by,
Speaker 1: I'm getting in line.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my mom does not try on shop in the
Speaker 3: place anymore. You just get them and you return them later.
Speaker 3: That is the way to do it. And listen, this
Speaker 3: has always been the way I work. I hate dressing rooms.
Speaker 3: They I don't know why. If I ran a retail shop,
Speaker 3: I would have First of all, I would have a
Speaker 3: security guard at the front door. We would have lost
Speaker 3: prevention in place, because I know that people shop lift.
Speaker 3: I would have Taylor McGraw working lost prevention because she
Speaker 3: she would know who is doing it, and she would
Speaker 3: steal the things to make up for all the things.
Speaker 2: I'll take care of that for you.
Speaker 3: So I would, and I would have dressing rooms that
Speaker 3: have good lighting and skinny mirrors. Okay, there's a mirror
Speaker 3: you can buy, and we all know that mirror. It's
Speaker 3: the mirror that you always look at in your own apartment.
Speaker 3: It's the skinniest mirror in your apartment that you can
Speaker 3: put up and you look way better than you would
Speaker 3: outside of it.
Speaker 2: But no place to do this. I don't know a single.
Speaker 3: Retail outfitter place that has better lighting than I will
Speaker 3: have at home. And I don't want to cry at
Speaker 3: the mall. I cry a lot, and I get really
Speaker 3: emotional when I try on things that are too tight,
Speaker 3: or my skin looks too pale, or you turn around
Speaker 3: and you see that little side angle of your cellulate
Speaker 3: on your thighs that you did not know it was there,
Speaker 3: and then you then you're depressed the rest of the day.
Speaker 3: And then you it's just you don't buy anything, so
Speaker 3: what I do? And then you don't buy anything. I'm
Speaker 3: not buying that, So you know what these stores do.
Speaker 3: I think they purposely have really bad lighting in there
Speaker 3: because it makes me go. I don't want to try
Speaker 3: it on, and I buy a bunch of stuff and
Speaker 3: then I forget to return it or I lapse the
Speaker 3: thirty days.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 1: No, I think they have just a lot of people,
Speaker 1: fake people in line at the tryout, so you go,
Speaker 1: I can't stand in that line. I'm just gonna have
Speaker 1: to buy it.
Speaker 3: No, I don't think theyrs on the line to hire
Speaker 3: six or seven.
Speaker 1: People, Yeah, you know, with big piles of clothes in
Speaker 1: their hands.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mom's just kidding, has gotten sad.
Speaker 2: It's getting sad. Yeah, just kidding. It's so born out.
Speaker 3: But she Yeah, so she just goes, I'm just getting them.
Speaker 3: And I was so proud of her, and so she
Speaker 3: just got them. Then she tried them on at home.
Speaker 3: They worked, We wore it. She worked to Taylor's with
Speaker 3: that night. But we had quite an adventure. Yeah, we
Speaker 3: went to the we were saying right by mall in Houston.
Speaker 2: This weekend. We filmed Family Feud this this week?
Speaker 4: Oh God, actually is that coming out? What is that
Speaker 4: coming out?
Speaker 2: I think on this summer too long?
Speaker 4: I can't wait that long for that.
Speaker 3: Actually, the summer's almost here. Get that body in shape
Speaker 3: to watch Family Feud answer the beach.
Speaker 4: Have you ever seen the Turkey clip from Family Feud?
Speaker 4: That's uh. That was on British Family Feud, Like, oh
Speaker 4: my god, it's the funniest one. It's it's it's final
Speaker 4: family feud, uh, you know at the end, and I
Speaker 4: don't want to ruin it for the people, but basically, no,
Speaker 4: I can't do it. He asked all these questions like
Speaker 4: what would you bring to a picnic? And the first
Speaker 4: one's like, oh, turkey, that makes sense. And the second
Speaker 4: question was like name a bird and then he's like
Speaker 4: her and then that makes sense. And then the third
Speaker 4: one is like, uh, what's a place you would go
Speaker 4: for vacation? And he's like turkey, and all of his answers,
Speaker 4: all five of his answers were.
Speaker 2: Turkey, no way, and they actually fit.
Speaker 4: He said, well no, and then he got zeros on
Speaker 4: four out of five of them, and he's laughing the
Speaker 4: whole time. He's like, I can't believe I'm gonna say
Speaker 4: this again, but is it turkey? Watt watch it?
Speaker 2: So it's an international show.
Speaker 3: Well, there was another clip that I sent to my
Speaker 3: family that was like, let's do this because it's the
Speaker 3: Here's the thing about game shows. You can get really
Speaker 3: competitive if there's real money on the line, Like, yeah,
Speaker 3: take it seriously. But if you're gonna be on TV,
Speaker 3: make it watchable, like be funny, be interesting, like especially
Speaker 3: if it's a you know, if you're already in the weeds,
Speaker 3: like be be funny always. I think air on the
Speaker 3: side of being entertaining as opposed to like saying the
Speaker 3: right thing, because also family feud. You don't fucking know
Speaker 3: what these people are gonna say. You don't know what
Speaker 3: this survey where this was done. Yeah, because some of
Speaker 3: these answers, let me tell you, don't make any goddamn sense.
Speaker 3: And so you know, let's say there's a there's a
Speaker 3: choice between saying sex or trampoline, like as the answer,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say sex because they're just equally likely to
Speaker 3: be things. And sex is gonna get a Steve Harvey
Speaker 3: to make a funny face and to walk around the
Speaker 3: podium and like take a lap because he can't believe
Speaker 3: I met, Ye're going up and.
Speaker 2: Down exactly, Wow, I know, are you there? Are you there?
Speaker 3: So yeah, you just try to be funny and and
Speaker 3: that's what we were. And we can't give any spoilers
Speaker 3: in terms of gameplay. We can say that we were
Speaker 3: on it. We played a pop star h Bbi Rexa
Speaker 3: and her family were our opponents.
Speaker 2: Know that it was supposed to be Gene Simmons time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, my parents had the worst day of travel imaginable,
Speaker 3: and so the whole we were supposed to film on
Speaker 3: early Friday, it got pushed to later because I mean,
Speaker 3: listen to this travel.
Speaker 2: Day do you want me to take them through?
Speaker 3: And listening to people's travel stuff is not enjoyable and
Speaker 3: it is like the worst thing to listen to on
Speaker 3: a podcast.
Speaker 2: This.
Speaker 3: I will say that in the past two years of
Speaker 3: me traveling every weekend for work, all of these things
Speaker 3: have not happened to me in two years. That happened
Speaker 3: to you on one flight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you are lucky. It is just luck. I mean
Speaker 2: that's what it comes down to.
Speaker 3: And the way you guys handled it was so admirable
Speaker 3: because you were just like, there's nothing we could do.
Speaker 3: Because I hear Dad going in my head. I'm like,
Speaker 3: Dad's like we should have left on Wednesday, we should
Speaker 3: have done this.
Speaker 2: But he didn't say any of that. It was basically
Speaker 2: his fault because what, well, here we go.
Speaker 3: Well, but you were going to be the bigger person here,
Speaker 3: and well, I mean, I'll just tell you one's got
Speaker 3: to be to blame.
Speaker 2: This is my family. Who's to blame. No, No, Dad's fault.
Speaker 1: Well, we could have left the next day. First of all,
Speaker 1: started out, our flight up canceled, like at three o'clock
Speaker 1: in the afternoon. We were supposed to be on a
Speaker 1: flight at seven, So they canceled that flight. They scrambled
Speaker 1: to find another flight. They said, yeah, we'll put you
Speaker 1: on Southwest and you'll go through Austin, Texas. Okay, but
Speaker 1: that least at six o'clock. Well, Matt and Lauren, you know,
Speaker 1: busy kids, they're flying yeap, we can make it. So
Speaker 1: we all get up there, get there. It's delayed, delayed, delayed,
Speaker 1: and then it got super delayed.
Speaker 2: We're going to have a connection.
Speaker 1: We had to catch this connection. So that connection we
Speaker 1: already know is not going to we're not going to
Speaker 1: meet it. So we're going to end up staying in Austin.
Speaker 1: And we're like, well, we could take that flight at
Speaker 1: six am tomorrow morning morning and have a direct flight
Speaker 1: on business class and just get there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, why wouldn't you do that?
Speaker 1: Your father's said, no, that's just I said, we could
Speaker 1: get stuck, we could get Sack explains everything.
Speaker 3: Because I could not believe that my dad wasn't bitching
Speaker 3: so much.
Speaker 2: But it's because it was his fault.
Speaker 1: I didn't blame him. I just said, of course you didn't.
Speaker 1: You gotta got it.
Speaker 3: This is because I go, why is that being so
Speaker 3: chill about? This is because he knows the only one
Speaker 3: to point a finger at is himself, because the alternative
Speaker 3: is the thing he shut down because.
Speaker 1: We had to make Yeah, we could have made this
Speaker 1: decision like early on and say we have the option
Speaker 1: of going six am.
Speaker 3: I wish she would have brought me into this because
Speaker 3: I would have said, let's do the six am flight and.
Speaker 2: We would have made that.
Speaker 1: We would have made the time we would have been
Speaker 1: so there anyway, real quickly. We ended up going to Austin,
Speaker 1: but they couldn't land in Austin because you didn't have
Speaker 1: enough gas.
Speaker 3: So we had to go under thunderstorms. So they had
Speaker 3: a circle and then they ran to the gas.
Speaker 2: So they went to Dallas, Dallas, and we had to
Speaker 2: go get more gas.
Speaker 3: And it's eleven o'clock at night when they land in Dallas, okay,
Speaker 3: So then they're in dawas are on the tarmac or
Speaker 3: like an hour, so right, they get refueled. Then they
Speaker 3: go to Austin and then there's no gate attendance there,
Speaker 3: So when they're on the tarmark for two hours in Austin,
Speaker 3: they finally get off the plane. They get to their
Speaker 3: hotel room at three in the morning. Dad said four,
Speaker 3: So I made it three because I know for sure.
Speaker 3: Dad added an hour or two, So Dad said four,
Speaker 3: so I knew it was either two or three.
Speaker 2: So three.
Speaker 3: Let's say you checked in your hotel. Then you had
Speaker 3: a flight the next morning.
Speaker 2: We had six six o'clock six thirty or something. No,
Speaker 2: it was like an eight o'clock five, but you had
Speaker 2: to wake up at six.
Speaker 3: We had to wake up, so we had like then
Speaker 3: that was delayed for two hours, and then they they
Speaker 3: landed right when their call time was, and then the
Speaker 3: traffic was so bad from lax to the studio in Glendale.
Speaker 2: If you are.
Speaker 3: Familiar with la it was an hour and a half
Speaker 3: in the car, right, So they were an hour and
Speaker 3: a half late to set with a show that had
Speaker 3: already been pushed back.
Speaker 2: So it was just like it was such a they
Speaker 2: even moved the show. They moved the show back five.
Speaker 3: I'm so proud of Dad for not being like we
Speaker 3: should have done this, like not having that.
Speaker 2: And now I know a lot. Yeah, I know why.
Speaker 2: Now this is the thing. People don't change.
Speaker 3: There's circumstances that lead people to act differently. And I'm
Speaker 3: the same way, Like, I oh, listen to me right now.
Speaker 3: I'm like, it's Dad's fault, like I have to someone
Speaker 3: has to be to blade.
Speaker 2: I didn't know. And guess what that flight the next day.
Speaker 3: You should probably check the status of it because it
Speaker 3: was probably canceled too, you know what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 3: if you would have chosen that flight, it would have
Speaker 3: been canceled. Like it's just this is all just rolling
Speaker 3: the dice. And Dad was probably being smarter and being like,
Speaker 3: let's get in tonight.
Speaker 1: You know, he just wanted to get going. Yeah, we're
Speaker 1: at we're going to the airport, We're ready to go.
Speaker 4: So what is it with dads? Why are dads get
Speaker 4: so angry about directions and traveling? And my dad would
Speaker 4: flip out about that too. Yes, it's always Dad's.
Speaker 6: A man.
Speaker 5: Let's call it what it is.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm a man and I'm going a man too,
Speaker 4: And I would be like, Dad, if not, like we've
Speaker 4: missed an exit and like we'll just take the next
Speaker 4: egg and for like the next hour. He'ds that.
Speaker 3: Can't handle when you just miss an exit and you
Speaker 3: just go, it's okay, it's just adding two minutes. Ways
Speaker 3: is self correcting. It's now, it's just added three minutes
Speaker 3: to the journey. It's okay. But it's like I could
Speaker 3: have gone, Like it's like you were you just lost
Speaker 3: seven minutes of your life whatever that little thing you
Speaker 3: just did. We now, are you just injured yourself?
Speaker 1: You're so good about being chill when it comes to
Speaker 1: like things, you really've learned that you're really good. You go,
Speaker 1: there's nothing we can do about it, just go with it.
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, I need to tell you're really good.
Speaker 3: Everyone's no, you really are good about Oh thanks, yeah,

Speaker 3: have no sex drive or no. And I don't mean
Speaker 3: to talk about sex. That's not where we're going with.
Speaker 4: There's a deodorant.
Speaker 2: You I know you don't care about sex.
Speaker 4: You can put on a deodorant that gives your tea
Speaker 4: really yeah, yeah, there's a deodorant. But it stinks.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well maybe it's like smells. What if it
Speaker 3: smells like pheromones, like good.
Speaker 4: That's what it smells. I don't know if I mean,
Speaker 4: it depends on who you are If you like that smell,
Speaker 4: it's it's the musk. You know, some people have a
Speaker 4: stench that for some it'd be like the most attractive
Speaker 4: smelling thing, and then for others it's a repulsive, disgusting.
Speaker 2: It's so true.
Speaker 3: Do you know that if on birth control, like you
Speaker 3: can become unattracted to your man's scent because it changes everything.
Speaker 3: If you fall in love with the guy on a
Speaker 3: birth control and you're really attracted to this guy, if
Speaker 3: you get off that birth control, it can change your
Speaker 3: perception of smells and fair and it can make girls
Speaker 3: have become disgusted with their husband's or boyfriend's sense or
Speaker 3: vice versa. They go on a birth control and all
Speaker 3: of a sudden, they're like, oh god, he stinks because
Speaker 3: it changes your your hormones and your attraction.
Speaker 4: These sacks of meat, and you could just and chemicals
Speaker 4: and little little changes, like like little changes to your
Speaker 4: brain could change your entire personality one the bottomy away
Speaker 4: from being a completely different person. Our lives are a farce.
Speaker 3: Oh you bump your head and you can all of
Speaker 3: a sudden want to fuck children or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not kidding you. People, they are.
Speaker 3: Well I'm just thinking of the worst thing. But like
Speaker 3: I always talk about this on the podcast, pedophiles don't
Speaker 3: want to be pedophiles. It's just an anomaly in their brain.
Speaker 4: So maybe if a pedophile bumped his head, he won't
Speaker 4: want to find I.
Speaker 2: Would be yea my head against everything.
Speaker 6: On an episode of Gilligan's Island, I think one of
Speaker 6: them he hits his head on a coconut and then
Speaker 6: I'm a.
Speaker 3: Pedophile hit their heads and and had huge changes in
Speaker 3: their personally. I mean, let's talk about like T M

Speaker 3: Mom has had had seven concussions that she can remember
Speaker 3: five five so probably seven. Yeah, can you name them all?

Speaker 1: the cement driveway and he's he said, do you want
Speaker 1: to try it first? And I said, you're darn right,
Speaker 1: and so I fell and hit my head that time.
Speaker 3: Can I just also say my mom was the seventh
Speaker 3: of ten kids in a Catholic family, and her nickname
Speaker 3: as a child was pig woman.
Speaker 7: They were so to her, maybe that's dirty, and she
Speaker 7: would just go make friends with old people in the
Speaker 7: neighborhood because the kids really liked her.
Speaker 2: I know her child, but she, yeah, she was pig woman.
Speaker 2: She was a little wondered a little girl. I was
Speaker 2: so sick. I was a little chunk whin did Yeah,
Speaker 2: I was a little chunk er.

Speaker 1: would go, you know, you're fat, and I'm like, I
Speaker 1: am net. But anyway, she was skinny, so yeah, I
Speaker 1: was fat, baggy. Yeah, anyway, So then okay, so that's two.

Speaker 1: the school playground on the cement and we were having
Speaker 1: races and she tripped and I hit my head and
Speaker 1: then that was a big woman fell off shoulders. And
Speaker 1: then and then I was on a date once we

Speaker 1: you know, and he went to the horse, my horse
Speaker 1: twice on a horse, So I fell off of that horse,
Speaker 1: and I you know, so then.
Speaker 4: I started playing.

Speaker 1: so I'm like, he goes, it's okay, my my neighbor's
Speaker 1: a nurse. And I'm like, okay, okay, you know, because

Speaker 3: brunch happening, and like we get to like go once

Speaker 3: go to pay less to get like nice shoes for it.
Speaker 2: I feel like that's what the country.
Speaker 4: Clubs for your friend, getting you into the country club.
Speaker 2: Yea, that they're letting in.
Speaker 4: The riff raft.
Speaker 3: Like there's a little bit of like, I don't, I
Speaker 3: don't deserve this. I'm not good like you know, even
Speaker 3: Lauren with those shoes like this, I don't. I don't
Speaker 3: deserve these kind of shoes or even with you, anytime
Speaker 3: I try to get you something super nice, I do.
Speaker 3: I take it now, Now you take it. You took
Speaker 3: those tickets, I'll tell you. And I told this on
Speaker 3: the podcast. When I went over after Taylor's with broke
Speaker 3: up with Joe, I had a de pull inside my
Speaker 3: soul that said, you need to go see her, you
Speaker 3: need to go be with Taylor. And so I looked
Speaker 3: up tickets on my weekend off, which was this piece
Speaker 3: of past weekend. I got tickets to a ticket to
Speaker 3: the Saturday show and I go, I want to I
Speaker 3: can't let let Little Sunday Show hang.
Speaker 2: And I got to go to that too.
Speaker 3: And I went over for Easter a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 3: and I was like, Mom, I really want to go
Speaker 3: to the Sunday show and I just I was like,
Speaker 3: there's but there's only I can't buy just one ticket
Speaker 3: front row. I got to buy two. And I was like,
Speaker 3: would you go? And you were like, yeah, i'll go,
Speaker 3: and I go, there's this much money, and you go,
Speaker 3: it's a lot, but I do it. And I was like,
Speaker 3: I couldn't believe because my mom usually is like, you
Speaker 3: are not paying No, that is disgusting.
Speaker 1: Oh you told me a lot less. You said, well,
Speaker 1: then see a couple of thousand, and then they're.
Speaker 2: Fucking jacked it up. It was stabhab.
Speaker 1: Then after you bought him, you're like, I'm not going
Speaker 1: to tell you what these were in Laura, Lauren look
Speaker 1: at this and I'm like how much?
Speaker 2: How much? And you were like, well, they take two
Speaker 2: thousand each for fees.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the the fees were six thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: I think five or six thousand dollars for just stub hubs.
Speaker 3: I'm not joking because the tickets themselves I think were
Speaker 3: forty five or I think there were fifty two each,
Speaker 3: so maybe it was like three thousand dollars in fees.
Speaker 4: Mooly, Ticketmaster and Live Nation merge and that was a
Speaker 4: crime against America.
Speaker 3: I don't understand it, but I do know that I
Speaker 3: got screwed because the first night I go, I sit
Speaker 3: down in my seat and the guy next to me
Speaker 3: is also alone. I go, you're alone too, and he
Speaker 3: was like, you actually have my ticket? And I was like,
Speaker 3: oh really, and I was like, wasting it? Do you?
Speaker 3: I like, all of a sudden, was like, did I
Speaker 3: actually send the wrong seat? And he's like, no, I
Speaker 3: sold that ticket, and I'm like, you need to buy
Speaker 3: me a fucking drink.
Speaker 2: Then I was like that I drink, but I was.
Speaker 3: Like, you need you owe me buy me a shirt
Speaker 3: or something, and he goes, no, I don't know how
Speaker 3: much you paid, but I only made a thousand off
Speaker 3: of the ticket. I was like, well, I paid forty
Speaker 3: five hundred for the ticket, so someone resold the ticket
Speaker 3: they bought for you. And then the next night I'm like, man,
Speaker 3: maybe I could resell the tickets I bought for mom
Speaker 3: and me for for twenty thousand, like who knows, Like
Speaker 3: I wasn't gonna make twenty off of them, but you know,
Speaker 3: but hell no, I wouldn't have done that because I
Speaker 3: had already bought it and I was like, we're doing it,
Speaker 3: and we got. The first night I went was incredible.
Speaker 3: It was I was third row and it was so
Speaker 3: much fun and it was so much better to be
Speaker 3: on the floor.
Speaker 2: No offense to anyone.
Speaker 3: Sitting up, I'm gonna sit up in the seats again
Speaker 3: for another version of the tour.
Speaker 2: I want to sit everywhere.
Speaker 3: I want to be all over the theater or because
Speaker 3: the screens are so insane and phenomenal, and all her
Speaker 3: close ups on the screens, you don't miss anything. If anything,
Speaker 3: you're sitting in the front room and you're looking at
Speaker 3: the screen too, so it's like, yeah, you're not. And
Speaker 3: she's so all over the place that even if you
Speaker 3: are on the floor. These is to anyone who'd got
Speaker 3: tickets and isn't on the floor, and you're.
Speaker 2: Like, well, I'm not gonna have the experience.
Speaker 3: You are not even close to her for for ninety
Speaker 3: percent of the show because the stage has all these
Speaker 3: different areas, so she's constantly moving around and all these
Speaker 3: different parts, So she's maybe in front of you for
Speaker 3: a couple seconds here and there when she walks by,
Speaker 3: or she'll like sing a like maybe a.
Speaker 2: Verse if that around where you are, and then.
Speaker 3: You scream, and the whole time you're just getting out
Speaker 3: your phone, so you're looking at your phone, and I'm
Speaker 3: trying to hold the phone but also look at her
Speaker 3: with like just clear view to like actually have it.
Speaker 3: There's this I'm someone who obviously rolls my eyes at
Speaker 3: anyone who's just filming the entire concert. But as someone
Speaker 3: who's like that, I have to say, don't judge people
Speaker 3: who do it because you don't know what it's like
Speaker 3: to have it right in front of you, and you
Speaker 3: want to capture it. You want to you want to
Speaker 3: be able to watch it again and again and again.
Speaker 3: There is some compulsion in me that I wanted to
Speaker 3: capture a picture of it. I just wanted to save it.
Speaker 3: It wasn't about like I can't get off my phone.
Speaker 3: I'm such a millennial or gen z or whatever. I'm
Speaker 3: addicted to my phone and everything has to be experienced
Speaker 3: to the phone. It was like, you just don't want
Speaker 3: that moment, you want to capture it.
Speaker 2: I mean that's what.
Speaker 4: I totally understand that and being able to rewatch it.
Speaker 4: But like sometimes I'll go to like the Hollywood bawl
Speaker 4: and we'll be like so far away from the stage
Speaker 4: you can even see people's faces, and they'll be people
Speaker 4: filming the entire show.
Speaker 2: Fucking insane to me.
Speaker 1: Well, you can still see it on the big screen.
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like.
Speaker 3: Well, if you're zooming in on the screen and you're
Speaker 3: trying to capture like a picture and whatever, I get that.
Speaker 3: But if you're filming, like you were filming some stuff
Speaker 3: that was such shitty footage that I just put your
Speaker 3: put your phone down and I go, the exposure is
Speaker 3: too high, like you didn't know how to work your phone.
Speaker 3: So I just put my hand down your phone. I go,
Speaker 3: just experience it, because this is not a videos anything
Speaker 3: filming for me. Trust me, Well, I was also filming,
Speaker 3: so I don't know who you were filming for. So
Speaker 3: I put my hand over hers because I go, just
Speaker 3: experience it. Because I go, I'll send you better footage
Speaker 3: that I find on Instagram of this song, like this
Speaker 3: is You're not gonna this isn't good way.
Speaker 2: I really I could care. I did get some good stuff.
Speaker 3: So anyway, I I was definitely like struggling with finding
Speaker 3: the right balance of just being in the moment and
Speaker 3: just like trying to just look at her with my
Speaker 3: own eyes and know, oh my god, there's twenty feet
Speaker 3: from me and this person who I love so much,
Speaker 3: and like we're breathing.
Speaker 2: I could give her COVID right now if I wanted
Speaker 2: to work that close.
Speaker 3: Like this is just the closest I not the closest
Speaker 3: I've been to her, because I've you know, hugged her
Speaker 3: and taken a picture with her, but very close as
Speaker 3: I've been to her since. I felt this way, and
Speaker 3: it was just incredible, and she sounded so good. And
Speaker 3: at the show on my show that I went to
Speaker 3: alone on Saturday, she got injured. Oh it's this big story.
Speaker 3: She during one of her quick changes, she is it
Speaker 3: was between I think too. I think it was reputation
Speaker 3: in nineteen eighty nine or something. She got a gash
Speaker 3: on her palm she felt. She came out and told
Speaker 3: the story of it in a caption, which was a
Speaker 3: very revealing caption for Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2: She's usually very cryptic.
Speaker 3: And just as like, had a great time in Arlington
Speaker 3: and you guys inspire me. But this was like for
Speaker 3: those worried I fell during a quick change, I it
Speaker 3: was my fault. Entirely and everything's fine. I'm totally okay.
Speaker 3: And she even said like I'm okay, but she had
Speaker 3: it all bandage up and she had a band aid
Speaker 3: that was flapping around, and I was just like, okay.
Speaker 2: Part of the costume I haven't seen.
Speaker 3: Yet, huge gash, a triangle like right here out of home.
Speaker 3: That was like that was like ow shopped out. It
Speaker 3: looked like someone took like a cookie cutter. Yes, I
Speaker 3: was thinking the same thing. It looked like it would
Speaker 3: have almost gotten attendon, but I think it was more
Speaker 3: like just the skin hopefully. Anyway, she you couldn't tell,
Speaker 3: and she wasn't like trying to hide that hand she
Speaker 3: was waving and she was just like her normal self.
Speaker 3: I think her adrenaline probably kicked in. But that show
Speaker 3: was just fucking incredible And.
Speaker 4: Can you describe the atmosphere? And because when I was
Speaker 4: watching the videos, I was like, this feels like a
Speaker 4: historic event, Like what was it like in the audience,
Speaker 4: especially when like the countdown started.
Speaker 3: Having the countdown is the most I have to Like.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys know about like dopamine
Speaker 3: release and all the studies about it, but like when
Speaker 3: you have a really exciting thing that's coming up, like
Speaker 3: an orgasm, or Christmas or your birthday, or like they're
Speaker 3: about to the winning touchdown. The your dopamine rises until
Speaker 3: it happens, and then it starts to fall. Even while
Speaker 3: it's happening. The thing that you're loving, your orgasm that
Speaker 3: you're having, your dopamine starts to fall. So dopamine rises
Speaker 3: up until it starts happening. That's the happiest you're gonna get. Scientifically,
Speaker 3: in your brain. It's not actually the event that makes
Speaker 3: you happy, it's the anticipation of it. So that fucking
Speaker 3: countdown is so smart. It starts all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: it's a minute until and it goes you.
Speaker 2: Don't known me, yeah na dun dua dud, and that
Speaker 2: song starts playing. It's like.
Speaker 3: And everyone's like whoa, And then the countdown is happening,
Speaker 3: and then it's like ted hey, and then the lights
Speaker 3: go down and it's like probably a minute or maybe
Speaker 3: a two minute intro of like these guys come out
Speaker 3: with these fan type things and then they put them
Speaker 3: over the center of the square.
Speaker 2: Then they lift them up and she's like, it's been
Speaker 2: a long time coming, but to you and me.
Speaker 3: And then it's just pandemonium. I mean she's like there
Speaker 3: and it's just yeah, it's it really is.
Speaker 4: Reacting like the Beatles and Elvis, like Nady.
Speaker 3: Not crying screaming like I was comparing it to maybe
Speaker 3: like Elvis a Beadlemania, and it's not like that.
Speaker 2: It's not people fainting.
Speaker 3: It's I saw a couple of girls crying. I definitely
Speaker 3: like had a couple tears fall down, not in that moment,
Speaker 3: but like different moments during the show when she would
Speaker 3: sing a certain song or whatever. It wasn't It wasn't Beatlemania.
Speaker 3: It was like that's our friend that we're so proud
Speaker 3: of us.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Eric love. Yes, the love. It is
Speaker 2: like a love.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 2: I'm like every person in this stadium is in love,
Speaker 2: my mom.
Speaker 1: Because I would turn around and look at these girls
Speaker 1: and they're like from every age. I was like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, they're in love with her, like Nikky's in.
Speaker 3: Love because my I go, mom, I think I could
Speaker 3: be bisexual for Taylor Swift and she goes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no shit everyone and that goddamn state I am too.
Speaker 3: She was like every woman in that stadium would be
Speaker 3: in a relationship with Taylor Swift if a romantic relationship love.
Speaker 3: She is so cute, she is so talented, she is
Speaker 3: so adorable. So I've run into my friend Kim Gamble
Speaker 3: at the at the show on Saturday when I'm there alone.
Speaker 3: I get there a little bit early because I was
Speaker 3: so scared about getting there on time, so I got
Speaker 3: there too early. I didn't want to go to my seat,
Speaker 3: so I'm just kind of like looking around. I got
Speaker 3: recognized once on each show by fans, which was nice.
Speaker 2: That's all I needed.
Speaker 3: And but Kim was like Nicki and I looked over
Speaker 3: and it was Kim Gamble who was who introduced me
Speaker 3: to Chris Conby. She was my show runner for Nicky
Speaker 3: and Sarah Live, my first TV show, and she was
Speaker 3: the first person that I met Taylor Swift with her
Speaker 3: and we went backstage when I was when she was
Speaker 3: doing the Red Tour. So it was so funny to
Speaker 3: run into her and her eight year old daughter, who
Speaker 3: I you know, she was pregnant with when I went
Speaker 3: to her wedding and and so it was like so
Speaker 3: funny to see this little girl that's now like a
Speaker 3: Swiftie and she's like mom we need to go to
Speaker 3: her seats and we're trying to catch up. I'm like,
Speaker 3: when did I become like a mom, like one of
Speaker 3: the mom's friends that's like annoying and old, like I
Speaker 3: made it like where the daughter's just like, oh, nice
Speaker 3: to meet you and like kind of annoyed by me.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, I've arrived.
Speaker 3: And so I was like, I'm such a or like
Speaker 3: a Kate like I'm trying to think of a gear
Speaker 3: friends and I'm just like, oh my god, I'm like Cindy,
Speaker 3: That's who I am now.
Speaker 2: So uh so.
Speaker 3: But then I remember Kim texted me after the show like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, that was insane. I mean, all my
Speaker 3: friends that have gone to her show say it's one
Speaker 3: of the top ten nights of their life.
Speaker 2: I will not.
Speaker 3: I will say that it's not because for me my
Speaker 3: top nights of my I mean, it's a great night
Speaker 3: of my life, but I truly have my relationship, it's
Speaker 3: a great night.
Speaker 2: But like going to Taylor show.
Speaker 3: Singalongs, to those of you who can't afford tickets to
Speaker 3: go to her show, singalongs give me just as much
Speaker 3: joy these singalong nights. And that's no slight on Taylor.
Speaker 3: It's just a more intimate space. It's with and when
Speaker 3: you're doing singalongs, you're like singing to each other, and
Speaker 3: this is more like we're all just looking at her,
Speaker 3: and it's more interactive to me at least at the singalongs,
Speaker 3: And not that I've had more fun at those, it's
Speaker 3: just it is a comparative experience. So that's a heartening.
Speaker 3: I would think if you can't get to go see
Speaker 3: Taylor for her.
Speaker 6: And what about what about that moment like her solo
Speaker 6: acoustic stuff, those are the unique moments. What was a
Speaker 6: surprise during each show? Did she surprise you with any songs?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Well there was the first night she plays this song Marjorie,
Speaker 3: about her grandmother, and so she sings that song and
Speaker 3: it's like so beautiful. It's about, oh my god, if
Speaker 3: you are dealing with any kind of loss in your
Speaker 3: life or you want to remember someone and like think
Speaker 3: about them, put on the song Marjorie and it like
Speaker 3: will let you think about the person that you miss
Speaker 3: and like actually make you feel like they're in the
Speaker 3: room with you. It's just this beautiful song where her
Speaker 3: grandma was actually a singer, an opera singer, and she's
Speaker 3: the one in the family who she was like you
Speaker 3: ever gets told Taylor saying this, she was like, there's
Speaker 3: always someone in your family that everyone says like you
Speaker 3: remind them of them. She was like, that's my grandma
Speaker 3: for me. Everyone's always saying like, that's your like grandma,
Speaker 3: Like you look like her, you're like her. And she
Speaker 3: lost her grandma she was thirteen. But she has a
Speaker 3: song and the lyrics are like if I didn't know better,
Speaker 3: I think you were talking to me now, and then
Speaker 3: it goes on and then she's like, if I didn't
Speaker 3: know better, I think you were listening to me now.
Speaker 3: And then there's at the final uh chorus, it's she goes,
Speaker 3: if I didn't know better, I think you were singing
Speaker 3: to me now, and then they have her grandmother's vocals
Speaker 3: that they found somehow, and it has her grandma's vocals
Speaker 3: and the same key you know, they probably had to
Speaker 3: auto tune it, but the same pitch as the rest
Speaker 3: of the song in it, and it echoes through the
Speaker 3: stadium and it's like, and you get chilled s because
Speaker 3: I knew it was her grandma's voice, and it's just
Speaker 3: so beautiful and it is like you could feel her
Speaker 3: grandma in that room. You can feel the person that
Speaker 3: you're thinking about in that room when it's it's all
Speaker 3: about like and she's like, and I know better, but
Speaker 3: you're not around. But it's like, if I didn't know better,
Speaker 3: I think you were still around, but I know better,
Speaker 3: but you're still You're all around, and it's just like
Speaker 3: about how they like stay with us.
Speaker 2: So it was beautiful.
Speaker 3: So after that song, she goes to her piano and
Speaker 3: she's it's a little interlude where she talks to the
Speaker 3: crowd about the album ever More that we're in the
Speaker 3: era of, and she's like, we're in Evermore era and
Speaker 3: that song, Marjorie was really important me to just sing
Speaker 3: because my grandmother is from Houston and my mom grew
Speaker 3: up here. And she was like, and if I keep
Speaker 3: talking about it, I'm gonna start crying. So okay, Chaine
Speaker 3: of subject and then she plays the song Champagne Problems,
Speaker 3: which she starts out and she says, this was the
Speaker 3: song that I always wanted to play when the pandemic
Speaker 3: was happening and I was writing this album and I
Speaker 3: was thinking I might never get to perform live for
Speaker 3: audiences ever again, like that was something that people were
Speaker 3: actually talking about, like we maybe have this is the
Speaker 3: end of live entertainment. She was like, and this was
Speaker 3: I didn't let myself think about that. I was writing
Speaker 3: without thinking because I love performing so much, and I
Speaker 3: was just like, there's no way that that's gonna be true,
Speaker 3: and I'm not even gonna think about performing live. But
Speaker 3: this song, I was thinking, if I never get a
Speaker 3: chance to sing this with a crowd and with my
Speaker 3: with my friends and my fans, then this is the
Speaker 3: secret one that I wanted. I knew that if we
Speaker 3: got back to it, this is what I'd want to sing.
Speaker 3: And she goes into Champagne problems and champagne problems. If
Speaker 3: you're swifty, you know that song is about getting proposed
Speaker 3: to by a guy who's just nice and who you
Speaker 3: should be with and who his family loves you, and
Speaker 3: you love him, but there's just something not right and
Speaker 3: you leave him. You leave him stranded, You drop his
Speaker 3: hand while dancing. His heart was glass, you dropped it.
Speaker 3: Champagne problems, and the family says, what a shame. She's
Speaker 3: fucked in her head, they said, But you'll find the
Speaker 3: real and you're like wishing him, like I hope you
Speaker 3: find something. So it's kind of the song that everyone's
Speaker 3: going like this if she was to feel anything about
Speaker 3: Joe right now or letting that go, this is where
Speaker 3: those emotions will come out. And she tears up during
Speaker 3: the song and everyone reads a lot of into it.
Speaker 3: So that was really fun to sing with her, especially
Speaker 3: when she's like, what a shame, she's fucked in the
Speaker 3: head and her face gets all like devilie and she's
Speaker 3: like fucked in that. It's really fun. But the best
Speaker 3: moment of the whole thing was we go to sit
Speaker 3: second first row, and when we get there, we're kind
Speaker 3: of like, this is fucked because if you've been to
Speaker 3: front row before, sometimes it's too close to the stage.
Speaker 3: The stage is like six feet tall, right, so if
Speaker 3: you're my mom and you're.
Speaker 2: Five five five five.
Speaker 3: You can't see over the stage. Yeah, if she's on
Speaker 3: the lip of the stage, you have the best seat
Speaker 3: in the house. But anywhere else on the stage she
Speaker 3: could not. My mom could not see Taylor at all
Speaker 3: at all. Thankfully there's screens, but my mom can't even
Speaker 3: see the top of the screen.
Speaker 2: My mom can only see half the top of the.
Speaker 4: Screen and these are the most expensive tickets.
Speaker 3: These are the most expensive tickets, and she couldn't see.
Speaker 3: And then what about the security guard?
Speaker 4: Okay, can you believe that.
Speaker 3: He's right in front of us and he's six feet
Speaker 3: tall looking at you.
Speaker 2: And you're in front of you.
Speaker 3: Imagine someone staring at you a foot in front of you,
Speaker 3: so in the stage is behind him. You can't even
Speaker 3: stay so you now he's blocking you are whatever stage.
Speaker 4: Trying to watch a concerts, just having someone look at
Speaker 4: you for two hours. I liked it.
Speaker 3: I like it because I realized the first night that
Speaker 3: I kind of when I a part of me such
Speaker 3: a narcissist. Probably this is what it's I'm deducing, is
Speaker 3: that I don't like going to concerts because I don't
Speaker 3: feel like I can I want to perform, and I
Speaker 3: feel like at sing alongs, like there's a performative part
Speaker 3: of it, like where like maybe someone could be watching
Speaker 3: me or like and when you're at a concert, no
Speaker 3: one's watching you, and not that I need that, Like
Speaker 3: I can obviously.
Speaker 2: Turn it over and go behind you are I don't
Speaker 2: think about that. I need them, I like need to know.
Speaker 3: But the security guards have to watch you and they
Speaker 3: are so I mean, there are these black guys that
Speaker 3: like are probably not into Taylor Swift, not big tailors,
Speaker 3: they're all black people that are working security at and
Speaker 3: it's like you can tell.
Speaker 2: That maybe not that she's not someone that black people are.
Speaker 3: True, they every single person was a black person that
Speaker 3: probably is not into this type of music, and it's
Speaker 3: probably like these dumb white bitches, Like in my mind,
Speaker 3: that's what I'm thinking, because we are.
Speaker 2: And I was like, I'm gonna give.
Speaker 3: Them a show to talk about later. Of like I
Speaker 3: saw this thirty eight year old woman crying and losing
Speaker 3: her mind and like performing it, so it like it.
Speaker 3: It gave me a purpose during the show to like entertain,
Speaker 3: not even into like be like I didn't want them
Speaker 3: to be like, wow, she's so good at the lyrics.
Speaker 3: I just wanted to make them laugh at like how
Speaker 3: enthusiastic I was.
Speaker 2: I'm a story, give them a story.
Speaker 3: So, okay, we have to go to break, but I
Speaker 3: want to tell you about the greatest thing that happened
Speaker 3: the entire show and then we'll stop talking about Taylor
Speaker 3: Swift talk for I promise, Okay, So I will say
Speaker 3: that this is a very Swifty episode and I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: and this won't happen for every show I go to.
Speaker 3: But I did post on my story a bunch of
Speaker 3: stuff about Taylor Swift on my Instagram story, and I
Speaker 3: even wrote like, I'm sorry to the for everyone who's
Speaker 3: not one of the fourteen Swifties who care about the stuff.
Speaker 3: And I got hundreds of messages that were like, I'm
Speaker 3: one of those fourteen.
Speaker 2: So it's more than you think. I'm not alienating.
Speaker 8: Someone who likes I'm not a Swifty yet, but I
Speaker 8: like knowing her stories and the stuff behind her music
Speaker 8: and stuff, so I like it.
Speaker 6: Oh thanks. She talks about it in between songs. That's
Speaker 6: always my favorite part of shows, and she's so good
Speaker 6: at it's those inter inters, stories.
Speaker 3: She would just go like and it's it's this running
Speaker 3: thing that after Champagne problems, because of the first tour
Speaker 3: she did, or the first couple of shows she did,
Speaker 3: it was so loud after that performance, she was just
Speaker 3: sitting there kind of looking out like, and she takes
Speaker 3: out her earpiece to kind of go guys, And so
Speaker 3: it's kind of every city tries to at that moment
Speaker 3: show their love the most. It's even me chills thinking
Speaker 3: about it. But she and I've been to three shows.
Speaker 3: It was only that third show where she actually took
Speaker 3: out her ear piece and goes, guys, this is so
Speaker 3: loud and it's kind of like oh my god, and
Speaker 3: like freaking out, and it was it was sweet because
Speaker 3: you could tell she like lets it in and she doesn't.
Speaker 3: She's she maybe plays a little faux humble, but I
Speaker 3: don't think it's I don't think she's playing. I think
Speaker 3: she really is humble and is like really guys. Like
Speaker 3: she even does the cute thing of like, hi, I'm Taylor,
Speaker 3: like and we're like, yeah, we know, you know. But
Speaker 3: I think she's actually still that girl that's like I.
Speaker 2: Don't deserve keeping it humble. I think she has she
Speaker 2: knows how to do that.
Speaker 3: She's insecure deep down and has probably has a little
Speaker 3: bit of low self esteem deep down, And that's what
Speaker 3: makes us love her is that she doesn't. She hasn't
Speaker 3: gotten this inflated ego. She has a ton of confidence,
Speaker 3: clearly because she should. She's so talented and it's earned.
Speaker 3: But I don't think she came out of the gate.
Speaker 6: Joe.
Speaker 3: No, she goes right into all of the man like
Speaker 3: she does. The song called the One she actually swapped out.
Speaker 3: There used to be a song Invisible String that she did,
Speaker 3: and she's wopped it out for the one. Invisible String
Speaker 3: was about you know, how they were destined to be
Speaker 3: together forever, and then she changed it to the one.
Speaker 3: I think I've talked about this before, and the one
Speaker 3: is about like, you know, you've moved on after a relationship,
Speaker 3: but you still think you see in places and you're
Speaker 3: kind of like imagining he's hooking up with some girl
Speaker 3: from the internet, and it's like, oh, she interests, Like
Speaker 3: it's kind of just so she's changed that song, and
Speaker 3: that was right before her breakup that she changed the setlist,
Speaker 3: so everyone's like, oh, that's why she changed it. Who
Speaker 3: knows it could have just been like it's more of
Speaker 3: a bop than the other one. So but there's and
Speaker 3: there's little things that she does where people are like,
Speaker 3: there's this one lyric and delicate where she's like, the
Speaker 3: girls do the girls back home touch you like I do?
Speaker 3: And then at one point she kind of goes she
Speaker 3: just like shakes her head like no, and everyone's like
Speaker 3: she's talking to Joe. It's like, no, she just put
Speaker 3: a little emphasis behind it, like stop reading every day.
Speaker 5: Like London Boy or whatever that song is called.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she would do She'll do London Boy again. She'll
Speaker 2: do all of it because.
Speaker 3: She she's she still does songs about guys that she
Speaker 3: used to love when she was with Joe or that
Speaker 3: she's still heartbroken about.
Speaker 2: Like she'll do Harry Styles. She still does Lover and
Speaker 2: Lover is all about Joe.
Speaker 3: I mean, she did say that these are songs that
Speaker 3: I wrote at one point that meant something. She said, Yeah,
Speaker 3: she does Harry Styles. The song Style is about him.
Speaker 3: But the best part of the whole thing was that
Speaker 3: so we're sitting in the front front seat, front row,
Speaker 3: and we're kind of like I'm kind of getting pissed
Speaker 3: because I'm like, you know what, I'm trying to be
Speaker 3: zen about it and like this is meant to happen.
Speaker 3: I won't do this again next time. I'll always get
Speaker 3: third row because it's just a little bit more space
Speaker 3: so you can have to see the stage more.
Speaker 2: And I learned my lesson is this, like in.
Speaker 4: The movie theater, you wouldn't get a front row seat
Speaker 4: in the movie theater.
Speaker 3: Exactly, Brian, That's such a great fucking point, Like why
Speaker 3: does every That's why I was mad afterwards.
Speaker 2: I'm like, why does everyone act like front row is
Speaker 2: the bast Oh no, if well there's a reason, well
Speaker 2: why well?
Speaker 4: Well you.
Speaker 3: So, so we're kind of like, not that happened. There's listen,
Speaker 3: there's parts before the reason happens that we are just
Speaker 3: we're like, okay, these seats are justified because how close
Speaker 3: are we to her?
Speaker 2: When she's walking by, she's.
Speaker 1: She's eight feet from us, eight feet and that is
Speaker 1: when we were I was really measuring it, going okay,
Speaker 1: that's like eight feet.
Speaker 2: My mom got out her ruler, I.
Speaker 1: Got at the tape measure and I said, tailor hold
Speaker 1: that yeah, shining sound effect effect?
Speaker 4: Yes, And so she so.
Speaker 3: She was so close to us, and and there were
Speaker 3: I mean, and when she walks around to because the stage,
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's gigantic. So when she comes over
Speaker 3: to your area, people just start fucking losing their mind
Speaker 3: when we sense that she's coming over, and everyone gets
Speaker 3: out their phone and it's just like and I found
Speaker 3: myself based on the recordings I made, which I did
Speaker 3: not know at the time what I was saying, what
Speaker 3: I was doing.
Speaker 2: But I've watched back the footage.
Speaker 3: First of all, I would apologize to anyone I was
Speaker 3: sitting next to, especially my mom.
Speaker 2: With earplug in.
Speaker 3: I don't know how loud I'm singing because it just
Speaker 3: sounds muted in my head. Let me just say, everyone's
Speaker 3: singing as.
Speaker 1: Loud as everyone is saying, so it is completely exact.
Speaker 2: Me who does the words.
Speaker 3: My mom didn't know the words, but like everyone else
Speaker 3: is singing, I sang way too loud. I regret it.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry to tailor. If she heard it, it's not okay.
Speaker 3: It was too loud. I can hear it on the recordings,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, I I it really kind of a crisis.
Speaker 3: But I will say what I did realize I can't.
Speaker 3: What I did realize was I will say that my singing.
Speaker 3: My voice teacher would be very upset with how I
Speaker 3: was singing because I was not singing in my head voice.
Speaker 3: I was singing all throat all, just like emotional, guttural,
Speaker 3: like my my vocal chords are reading.
Speaker 2: Everyone in that place. But there's a way to sing this.
Speaker 4: This is like chanting almost Like yeah.
Speaker 5: There was.
Speaker 3: Some element of it when I listened back that was like, Nikki,
Speaker 3: do you want Taylor to hear you and to be like, wow,
Speaker 3: you're good.
Speaker 2: Come on up and sing like it's.
Speaker 3: I was so gross I am being This is me
Speaker 3: being so vulnerable right now. There was that in my
Speaker 3: head when I'm singing. There was no part of me
Speaker 3: that was like, I hope Taylor hears me upon hearing
Speaker 3: my own voice. I'm like, bitch, you wanted her to
Speaker 3: pick you out of the crowd and like find you
Speaker 3: and ask you to join her band and would duo
Speaker 3: and be like like Taylor and Teagan and Sarah like
Speaker 3: Nikki and Taylor.
Speaker 4: To listen. But I can tell you.
Speaker 3: You came to butcher my lyrics, so I so I
Speaker 3: regret that. But what I will say is that when
Speaker 3: she when when she would be in between songs or whatever,
Speaker 3: and there she would be close, what I kept saying was.
Speaker 2: We love you, We love you.
Speaker 3: You're the best, You're the best. Do you think in
Speaker 3: a million years, I would not think I would be
Speaker 3: screaming you're the best.
Speaker 2: Like there's so many.
Speaker 3: Other things I want to tell her, There's so many
Speaker 3: other ways to encourage her, But I'm just like you're
Speaker 3: the best.
Speaker 2: You're the best, I mean, even wrecking. I didn't even
Speaker 2: read there, I didn't I heard this one yelling you're
Speaker 2: the best. I don't think it was I swear, honestly,
Speaker 2: I swear to God it was me.
Speaker 4: But then I remember, you're the number one singer, dude.
Speaker 6: That's what I said to my favorite director when I
Speaker 6: met him. I met Noah Bomback, who I love, and
Speaker 6: at a restaurant and I go to him, your films
Speaker 6: means so much to me, and my sister were sitting
Speaker 6: right next to you. Were leaving now, but I just
Speaker 6: had to tell you you're so wonderful.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 5: And he goes, oh, that means so much.
Speaker 6: And then instead of walking away like a normal person,
Speaker 6: I go, you're the best, and then he goes, thank you,
Speaker 6: and then I go number one.
Speaker 2: Like a foreign exchange student.
Speaker 5: He just walked away for hours, just kept going one.
Speaker 3: Oh God, mony yeah, it's it's like the moment I
Speaker 3: really don't remember something funky no.
Speaker 2: I kept saying.
Speaker 3: But then I realized that final thought. I realized that
Speaker 3: is what I would want someone to say to me.
Speaker 3: You're the best comedian A comedian. I just like, if
Speaker 3: anyone's gonna give me any message, I want it to
Speaker 3: be that I'm the best. Like that's a message, and
Speaker 3: I truly believe that about her, there's just no one better,
Speaker 3: and that I that I am loved, we love you,
Speaker 3: And so those are that's if you're boiling down how
Speaker 3: I feel about her. Those are the things that came
Speaker 3: out of my body involuntarily. So let's get to the moment.
Speaker 3: So during the Taylor Swift shows, there are two songs
Speaker 3: that she plays every single set or every single show
Speaker 3: out of her I think there's forty six songs total,
Speaker 3: and two of those songs are secret songs, is what
Speaker 3: the Swifties call them. That means that she plays two
Speaker 3: songs that we don't know what she's gonna play, and
Speaker 3: it's obviously a song that she isn't playing in the
Speaker 3: other forty five songs that she's playing or whatever forty
Speaker 3: four and she originally like gave these rules of like
Speaker 3: she's gonna play a different song for each of those
Speaker 3: two songs every single night of the tour. So let's
Speaker 3: say she's doing thirty five dates, that's seventy extra songs
Speaker 3: that she's gonna have to learn and not only learn
Speaker 3: the lyrics to and how to sing them, which is
Speaker 3: and you're like, well, doesn't she know how to singer
Speaker 3: own songs? No, she creates these new versions of these
Speaker 3: songs because she does it acoustics. So one she does
Speaker 3: on guitar completely with herself, and one she does on piano,
Speaker 3: and she's probably a better guitarist than she has pianist.
Speaker 3: But she works really hard on these songs, and she
Speaker 3: even says like, I've been practicing this all week long,
Speaker 3: so like she puts a lot of effort into the
Speaker 3: performance of these songs and like the arrangement and everything.
Speaker 3: So it's so much fucking work for her to do.
Speaker 3: Shout out to Taylor, thank you for doing these and
Speaker 3: she picks songs and so then but she's given caveats
Speaker 3: if she fucks something up, she gets to do it
Speaker 3: again at another show if she wants to. So if
Speaker 3: she makes a mistake, which she's only made one mistake
Speaker 3: once and she said she made a mistake on another one,
Speaker 3: but only because she said she picked the wrong key
Speaker 3: to sing it in, even though she did it flawlessly.
Speaker 3: She was like, I get to redo that one because
Speaker 3: it was in the wrong key and then so oh,
Speaker 3: and then she made another caveat that was like, I
Speaker 3: actually love the New Midnight's album song so much that
Speaker 3: I get to go do those twice if I want
Speaker 3: to too. She was like, this is ever a changing system,
Speaker 3: so let me just say the move. The shows that
Speaker 3: I've been to, the first two shows she did, both
Speaker 3: secret songs were songs I had never heard before, like not.
Speaker 2: Never heard before.
Speaker 3: I'd heard, but they just didn't like grip Me a
Speaker 3: Place in This World is off her first album. The
Speaker 3: other songs she did I forget what it was on
Speaker 3: the on Saturday night, but the first, the first show
Speaker 3: I went to, she did I Forget the first song
Speaker 3: she did, but then she did the Lucky One, which
Speaker 3: was also it was really cool because I didn't wasn't
Speaker 3: really familiar with that song, but then I don't know,
Speaker 3: there's sometimes you hear a song in concert and you're like,
Speaker 3: holy fuck, like you hear it for the first time,
Speaker 3: and it was like a moment of I get this
Speaker 3: song on a whole other level that the album version
Speaker 3: can't even hold a torch too, because she you know,
Speaker 3: it's an old song, but she's breathing new life into it,
Speaker 3: so I fell in love.
Speaker 2: Now. The Lucky One's one of my favorite songs.
Speaker 3: I heard it for the first time a couple of
Speaker 3: weeks ago, or really heard it for the first time. So,
Speaker 3: by the way, I don't know where she's going to
Speaker 3: do these songs. There's no she's been switching it up,
Speaker 3: like sometimes they'll put the microphone. They put the microphone
Speaker 3: just somewhere after she finishes the nineteen eighty nine tour,
Speaker 3: and then that's where she does She's planted doing her
Speaker 3: acoustic song, and then they put the piano a little
Speaker 3: bit on the other side of the stage wherever they
Speaker 3: plant it.
Speaker 2: I have no idea where this is gonna be.
Speaker 3: I mean I saw the show a couple of weeks
Speaker 3: ago and I go, I think it's gonna be in
Speaker 3: the set, like the mid stage, so I thought we're
Speaker 3: not going to be very close to it. I go
Speaker 3: on Saturday night and I'm like, oh my god, she's
Speaker 3: doing the acoustic song, like right, I think where Mom
Speaker 3: and I are gonna be sitting. That's gonna be cool,
Speaker 3: and not the piano one the guitar one piano front
Speaker 3: row for piano. There's still piano between you. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 3: like it's acoustic guitar. You are like fucking with it.
Speaker 3: So I thought we were gonna be sitting on the
Speaker 3: piano side of the stage. Actually we get to our
Speaker 3: seats and we're kind of we're on the guitar side,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, I think we might be in the
Speaker 3: best seat for the secret song guitar version of it.
Speaker 3: And by the way of any song you want to
Speaker 3: be front row four of her whole forty seven song
Speaker 3: forty five song set list, it's gonna be the acoustic one.
Speaker 3: A because it's acoustic and it's just her alone and
Speaker 3: you can hear it so perfectly and hear her and
Speaker 3: it's not muddled with by dancers or anything. But B
Speaker 3: she doesn't move because she has to be on this
Speaker 3: microphone and she's stationary. The rest of the song, she's
Speaker 3: running all over the place. There's not one song that
Speaker 3: you would want to be and we are. I'm not
Speaker 3: joking you. They put up the microphone and I lose
Speaker 3: my fucking mind because.
Speaker 2: It couldn't have been more in front of me. I
Speaker 2: mean it is.
Speaker 3: It is not to the side of foot, it is
Speaker 3: not to the left, It is right in front of
Speaker 3: me as close as you can be, the number one
Speaker 3: best seed in the house for the acoustic.
Speaker 4: Song and swiff you're the best.
Speaker 3: And I am like, oh my god, and so we we.
Speaker 3: She starts, she walks over to it. She is right there.
Speaker 3: I mean, you saw my Instagram stories. She is eight
Speaker 3: feet in front of me. Couldn't be closer to the.
Speaker 2: TV she sings. So then I realized, and that's why
Speaker 2: I kept saying, it's not the TV, that is her.
Speaker 3: And I took a selfie turn around because I go,
Speaker 3: that's not a screen, that's literally her. I'm in the
Speaker 3: same shot as her, her physical body. She's right in
Speaker 3: front of us. She plays a song I do know
Speaker 3: called begin Again that I love, and so that was
Speaker 3: so good because usually she plays some obscure song that
Speaker 3: I don't know, and this one was. It was just
Speaker 3: like a private concert. Couldn't have been closer. It was
Speaker 3: the best, it was worse. It was worth that money
Speaker 3: so much like it was. It gives me chills just
Speaker 3: thinking about now everything. Yeah, wasn't that a special moment
Speaker 3: when she was right there? It was and you could
Speaker 3: see every little good like her guitar, every pimple there
Speaker 3: was no poor on her face, but if on her
Speaker 3: but she was just stunning and just so and she
Speaker 3: was just like it was just like so intimate.
Speaker 2: She just so intimate.
Speaker 3: That's how it felt like. She's just the way she smiles,
Speaker 3: she's just like, you're right there. We did not make
Speaker 3: eye contact at any point. Everyone's like, I think she
Speaker 3: made that contact with you. She did not look at me.
Speaker 3: I'm happy for it. I didn't want to distract her.
Speaker 3: I would have been too much. It just I probably
Speaker 3: would have gotten the lyrics wrong and she would have
Speaker 3: read my mouth and like it'd gotten fucked up, Like
Speaker 3: it just.
Speaker 2: Would have been bad.
Speaker 3: So I'm glad she didn't look at me. But the
Speaker 3: other thing that happened that was wild on this thing,
Speaker 3: and I wanted I know that we've got a rush.
Speaker 3: But so my mom and I went to a cemetery
Speaker 3: on Saturday because my friend Harris Whittles, who I shouted
Speaker 3: up before or who created Humble Bragg, he died eight
Speaker 3: years ago and he was a comedy writer on Parks
Speaker 3: and rec And he was a comedian a friend of mine,
Speaker 3: and he died tragically from heroin. I really recommend listening
Speaker 3: to an episode his episode of Uh he made it
Speaker 3: weird with Pete Holmes his second appearance, because he talks
Speaker 3: about his heroin addiction and it's just it's funny, but
Speaker 3: it's also sad, and you know how it ends, because
Speaker 3: he died tragically not too long after he recorded that.
Speaker 3: But so I've always whenever I'm in Houston, I knew
Speaker 3: he's buried there, He's from there. I always wanted to
Speaker 3: go visit his grave, but I've every time I've gone,
Speaker 3: it's been flooded, or I've been in town for just
Speaker 3: like not enough time and it's out in the kind
Speaker 3: of the suburbs or in this weird area that you know,
Speaker 3: nothing's by. So I asked my mom, was like, Hey,
Speaker 3: can we go to this grave? And my mom is like,
Speaker 3: totally down. I love graveyards, Yeah, yeah, you're They're fun there,
Speaker 3: beautiful and peaceful, and there's crows.
Speaker 2: You love craves and.
Speaker 3: Pros yeah everything. I love death. And so we we
Speaker 3: find in. My Mom's very worried, She's like, how are
Speaker 3: we going to find this gravestone? I'm like, find a
Speaker 3: grave dot com.
Speaker 2: On my wayside and if it gives you the.
Speaker 3: Exact coordinance, the location, the section, the plot number. So
Speaker 3: we find it and and it's like no one else
Speaker 3: is in the cemetery. It's like dead quiet, and I'm like,
Speaker 3: I want to leave something. I forgot to bring, like
Speaker 3: flowers or something. So I was like, I want to
Speaker 3: leave something, and I'm looking through my bag and I'm
Speaker 3: just like, oh, he played guitar and I have a
Speaker 3: guitar pick. I was like, I'll leave a guitar pick
Speaker 3: just as something. So I put a guitar pick on
Speaker 3: the grave. And then we go and we walk around
Speaker 3: the rest of the cemetery and we're just like telling
Speaker 3: stories about him, and then we're talking about death. And
Speaker 3: then we played Marjorie. Yeah, we played the song Marjorie
Speaker 3: because it's about death. And then we played the song
Speaker 3: The Best Day, which is just about like Taylor and
Speaker 3: her mom, like Taylor talking about a song about her mom.
Speaker 3: And we just like had this like great moment of
Speaker 3: just like mother daughter, like just bonding time.
Speaker 2: It was so nice.
Speaker 3: And yeah, then we went home and just relaxed in
Speaker 3: bed and like got ready for the show. And then
Speaker 3: we go to the show and we're there and and
Speaker 3: it's you know, it's in the show just starts and

Speaker 3: out of nowhere, I mean, we're front row, this guy
Speaker 3: comes up to where we are, taps me on the
Speaker 3: arm and holds out a guitar pick, this Lover guitar pick,
Speaker 3: and is like here and like swings it in my

Speaker 3: and then he got he leaves a security guard and

Speaker 3: he found it like it. I don't understand where it
Speaker 3: came from. If anyone out there can tell me what
Speaker 3: the fuck that was, I really want to know. But
Speaker 3: then I realized it's a sign. I gave a guitar

Speaker 3: later that night. I felt like it was like, I'm
Speaker 3: not someone who believes.
Speaker 2: Oh it's some weird sign. I honestly for.

Speaker 3: I literally go, we paid good money for these seats
Speaker 3: and you are blocking our view.
