Speaker 1: Hello, becoming an icon and Nation Nation?
Speaker 2: Is that what we're doing now?
Speaker 3: Don't mess with my flow, and today we're switching things up.
Speaker 4: That's right, Joseph, because we're discussing two icons, this time
Speaker 4: for a roundup of their trail blazing careers.
Speaker 3: Bruno Mars and Selena Gomez had an unapologetic choke hold
Speaker 3: on the twenty.
Speaker 4: Tens, so we've brought back our very special guest and girl,
Speaker 4: Danny Sayan from Thetas Week of Podcasts to discuss both
Speaker 4: of their impacts.
Speaker 2: I'm your host, Lilianavoscaz.
Speaker 3: And I'm Joseph Carrio and this is Becoming an Icon.
Speaker 4: A weekly podcast where we give you the rundown on
Speaker 4: how today's most famous latinv stars have shaped pop culture.
Speaker 1: And given the world some extra level.
Speaker 2: Sit back and get comfortable.
Speaker 3: Because we are going in the only way we know how,
Speaker 3: with Buena's beras, Gonas, reesas and a.
Speaker 4: Lot of opinions as we relive their greatest achievements on
Speaker 4: our journey to find out what makes them so iconic.
Speaker 4: I cannot believe that we have come to the end
Speaker 4: of both Bruno and Selena.
Speaker 2: This is going way too fast and I need to
Speaker 2: slow down. This is not good. This is like my child.
Speaker 2: He's growing up too fast. The podcast is going by
Speaker 2: too fast.
Speaker 3: Honestly, becoming an icon will never be the same. It's
Speaker 3: like a year without rain. I feel like I've been
Speaker 3: locked out of heaven, Like who.
Speaker 2: Says okay, Okay, my sympathy's Joseph. Same here.
Speaker 4: But I have a little surprise for you that's going
Speaker 4: to maybe cheer you up. Do you remember the gorgeous Danny.
Speaker 3: Saym Exki yows me, the fabulous voice behind the mic
Speaker 3: ofs RICA podcast, the young Peruvian and bad psychologist.
Speaker 1: How can I forget Well?
Speaker 4: Lucky for you and for our listeners, she is back, Danny.
Speaker 5: It's so good to have you back on the show.
Speaker 3: Hi, guys, and you'll be absolutely gorgeous with your makeup
Speaker 3: and your eyeliner stop.
Speaker 6: Thank you so much for having me again. I love
Speaker 6: your podcast, by the way.
Speaker 4: You are so kind, and we loved having you on
Speaker 4: because you bring such a different layer to the conversation,
Speaker 4: and we thought who better than to lead us through
Speaker 4: the lives of two massive stars who are still I
Speaker 4: want to say, on the young end of their careers,
Speaker 4: like it's not over yet. Like they are baby icons,
Speaker 4: but they are true icons in their own right. And
Speaker 4: both of them are interesting because while they're fiercely proud
Speaker 4: of their heritage, neither Selena nor Bruno were born in
Speaker 4: Mexico or Puerto Rico, respectively, but they're so proud of
Speaker 4: it and they're so vocal about it. So, from your perspective, Danny,
Speaker 4: how does their culture and heritage impact their music and
Speaker 4: who they are as individuals and personalities in the pop
Speaker 4: culture world today.
Speaker 6: I feel that it has allowed them to be really
Speaker 6: truth and authentic in who they are and stay that
Speaker 6: way throughout their career.
Speaker 5: Because I love Selena Gomez.
Speaker 1: Got me too. I love her so much. I couldn't
Speaker 1: wait to talk about her.
Speaker 4: You're in the right place, You're amongst friends. This is
Speaker 4: the safe zone. This is a Selena safe zone.
Speaker 5: Great, I love her.
Speaker 4: Now We're gonna talk Bruno a little bit later, but
Speaker 4: let's start with Selena, because I think when you hear
Speaker 4: fame and you hear the word celebrity and paparazzi and
Speaker 4: pop culture, I mean, she is the most followed woman
Speaker 4: on Instagram, Selena has a really unique relationship with fame.
Speaker 4: How would you characterize relationship with the Spotlight.
Speaker 5: I think it has been really tough on her.
Speaker 6: I love everything that she puts out there ever since
Speaker 6: I was a kid and I watched her.
Speaker 5: I watched her on Barney and.
Speaker 6: Wizards of Waverly Plays and all throughout her starts on
Speaker 6: her star career on Disney Channel. But I remember when
Speaker 6: she came out with this statement of it was too
Speaker 6: much for her. At first I didn't understand, but then
Speaker 6: as I grew up, I realized how much she put
Speaker 6: out there of her, like her personal life, everything that
Speaker 6: she was doing, who she was dating, and everyone had
Speaker 6: something to say about it. So I think that was
Speaker 6: a lot. I can understand why she had to take
Speaker 6: a break for a little bit and how she was
Speaker 6: going through it.
Speaker 1: I kind of.
Speaker 3: Feel like the reason she is one of the most
Speaker 3: famous people in the world and followed on Instagram is
Speaker 3: because of that vulnerability that she let us all in
Speaker 3: and there wasn't really like a protection layer like pr
Speaker 3: and stuff. So we just kind of fell in love
Speaker 3: with her, and she felt like our sister or cousin
Speaker 3: or something related to us that we felt like we
Speaker 3: could say whatever we wanted as well. She was so
Speaker 3: relatable as opposed to someone like Kim Kardashian, like you
Speaker 3: know that you'll never be in a room with her,
Speaker 3: you know, so. I think her vulnerability also was just
Speaker 3: kind of like why people fell in love with her.
Speaker 6: Also, I think me growing up in Peru and watching
Speaker 6: her and being and seeing her so proud of where
Speaker 6: she came from, it made me believe it.
Speaker 5: Oh I could do it.
Speaker 6: Oh she may be believe that I was capable of
Speaker 6: doing something.
Speaker 4: I will say that I'm just going to play a
Speaker 4: little bit of Devil's advocate because you know, as an
Speaker 4: entertainment reporter, I see both sides of the coin, and
Speaker 4: I think what happens, and you see this happening a lot. Now,
Speaker 4: at least it's different because we have social media and
Speaker 4: they can control the narrative a little bit more. But
Speaker 4: back when Selena was coming up, and you know, the
Speaker 4: first round with Justin, I think what happens is if
Speaker 4: an entertainer lets you into their let's call a figurative house, right,
Speaker 4: they open the doors, they invite you in, they share
Speaker 4: a lot. It's very very hard to get the people
Speaker 4: out of your house. You know, when you have a
Speaker 4: party and those people overstay. Well, the world were the
Speaker 4: people that overstayed with Selena. And so I think it's
Speaker 4: hard because you want to invite people in, you want
Speaker 4: to be vulnerable, you want to be connected to them,
Speaker 4: you want to feel real. She wants to feel like
Speaker 4: the little girl that grew up in Dallas, right, But
Speaker 4: you're not. You are a global icon followed by you know,
Speaker 4: millions and millions and millions and millions of people. And
Speaker 4: so it works in your favor when you're on the
Speaker 4: up and up and everything is golden and things are
Speaker 4: fine and everyone's in love and it's rainbows and kittens
Speaker 4: and butterflies. But what starts to happen when real life
Speaker 4: happens to you. You don't want people in your house
Speaker 4: observing you in those vulnerable states. And so that for me,
Speaker 4: has been hard for her because she was so accessible
Speaker 4: to all of us, But then on the flip side,
Speaker 4: she didn't want us there when she didn't want us there,
Speaker 4: And it's hard because we're an insatiable monster. That's what
Speaker 4: happens with entertainment. We create this relationship that is a
Speaker 4: false relationship. It is a false sense of closeness. And
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer here, but like,
Speaker 4: let's be honest, none of this is real.
Speaker 2: These people don't know you, they're not your friends.
Speaker 4: Like I see this a lot when I see like
Speaker 4: these tailor girls at the concert, I'm like, it's a business.
Speaker 4: Like she's not actually inviting you to her townhouse in
Speaker 4: the West Village, Like you're not actually going to dinner
Speaker 4: with her. And like Kara Della Vine, it is all
Speaker 4: built to create a false sense of closeness. And I
Speaker 4: think what was unique about Selena is she made that
Speaker 4: false sense of closeness feel very real for us, and
Speaker 4: so we were very invested in everything that she did,
Speaker 4: including obviously her relationship with Justin, obviously her music, her films,
Speaker 4: everything she did.
Speaker 2: We wanted in on.
Speaker 4: But at the same time, nobody can handle that level
Speaker 4: of attention and access to strangers because we are strangers
Speaker 4: to her.
Speaker 1: That's so hard.
Speaker 4: That's why when you see the show and you watch
Speaker 4: the documentary, I, as an entertainment reporter, felt bad because
Speaker 4: I was part of the system that caused her to crash.
Speaker 6: A lot of people in the past, or people that
Speaker 6: I grew up seeing, like celebrities didn't know how to
Speaker 6: set boundaries to the fame. That's why we see so
Speaker 6: many celebrities from that time opening up and being, oh,
Speaker 6: this is my documentary.
Speaker 5: I actually went through it.
Speaker 6: But I think what was I guess harder for Selena
Speaker 6: was that she was growing up. She grew up without
Speaker 6: setting any type of boundary. I think now with social media,
Speaker 6: it's easier for people to put themselves out there, but
Speaker 6: to a certain degree of Okay, this is where I
Speaker 6: draw the line of I'm not going to let people
Speaker 6: into my privacy like that. But before fame was controlling
Speaker 6: a completely different way where you needed to connect with
Speaker 6: your audience in a more vulnerable way.
Speaker 5: So you can draw the line.
Speaker 3: So like bottom line right now with Selena's relationship with fame,
Speaker 3: right now, where is she like after the documentary, now
Speaker 3: that she has wear Beauty, now that she's like back
Speaker 3: on Instagram and you know, like she has this new
Speaker 3: music video.
Speaker 1: Like, where where do you guys think she actually is?
Speaker 4: I'm going to go back to Facebook. I think that's
Speaker 4: a great question, Joseph. I think that my answer to
Speaker 4: that is that remember when Facebook used to have a
Speaker 4: status called It's complicated.
Speaker 3: I think it's yes, it's my relationship status right now
Speaker 3: with the person that I'm love, I'm.
Speaker 2: Okay complicated for her.
Speaker 4: For a lot of celebrities, being able to control the
Speaker 4: narrative through their own social media has given them a
Speaker 4: sense of stability, And I think for Selena it does
Speaker 4: that she can turn it on and turn it off
Speaker 4: whenever she wants, which, by.
Speaker 2: The way, she does.
Speaker 4: She goes dark on TikTok or on Instagram when she
Speaker 4: needs a break, and what has happened is she doesn't
Speaker 4: need mass media to speak to her fans anymore.
Speaker 2: I always say this, like, you know, entertainment.
Speaker 4: News shows like the shows I worked on for a
Speaker 4: decade are a dying breed. We're like going to go
Speaker 4: extinct soon because fans don't want to hear it through
Speaker 4: the filter of Access Hollywood or E News or entertainment tonight.
Speaker 4: They want to hear it from the source, and the
Speaker 4: sources of the celebrity, and the celebrities control that microphone.
Speaker 2: So I think it's complicated.
Speaker 4: I think she turns up the mic when she needs
Speaker 4: support for her projects, when she wants to get out
Speaker 4: there and feel connected.
Speaker 2: And then she turns it down when she needs a break.
Speaker 2: And good for her.
Speaker 4: I actually think this is an amazing thing, especially for
Speaker 4: young women coming up in this industry, whether they're actors,
Speaker 4: actresses or musicians. I think it's important for them to
Speaker 4: hold those reins because for so long they didn't and
Speaker 4: we saw what happened.
Speaker 6: I feel like she especially recently with the whole TikTok
Speaker 6: thing going on with Haley Beaber, and she turned on
Speaker 6: the live and she said, well, I need a break,
Speaker 6: and then she took the break. She was like, I
Speaker 6: have to set a boundary, and she did it, and
Speaker 6: I really respect that.
Speaker 4: And I think that also shows her growth and maturity
Speaker 4: as an artist, but more importantly, I think just as
Speaker 4: a human being, just in her own self protection. And
Speaker 4: that brings me to Bruno Marge, because I think they're
Speaker 4: so different. Number one, I think men and women are
Speaker 4: treated so differently in this industry. I think the grace
Speaker 4: that we give men we do not give women. Danny,
Speaker 4: how do you feel about that? Because Bruno has not
Speaker 4: had the same attention, and he's as big, if not bigger,
Speaker 4: of a musician than she is.
Speaker 6: I feel like with men and women, there's always going
Speaker 6: to be more attention drawn to women just because of
Speaker 6: how much is expected from them with men. Well, I
Speaker 6: feel Bruno Mars is so talented. I love everything that
Speaker 6: he puts out there, but I really haven't heard that
Speaker 6: much from him lately, Like.
Speaker 1: In terms of like scandal, fame, YadA, YadA.
Speaker 4: He's no drama, He's Mary J. Blige, no drama in
Speaker 4: his life. No, Danny, I do want to talk to
Speaker 4: you a little bit about how and why you consider
Speaker 4: them icons, because Joseph and I go back and forth
Speaker 4: on this show all the time. What makes somebody an icon?
Speaker 4: How did they get on the list for you personally, Danny,
Speaker 4: why would you consider Bruno Mars an icon?
Speaker 5: I feel with him it's just been more with music.
Speaker 5: I've always felt so beautiful with his songs. I'm going
Speaker 5: to say.
Speaker 6: That just the way you are, oh, this beautiful masterpiece.
Speaker 6: I feel like he was one of the first artists
Speaker 6: that made me cry from a song. I believe which song?
Speaker 6: When I was your man, when I was your way?
Speaker 6: Why what happened?
Speaker 5: I was just not the thing, Nothing really happened.
Speaker 6: It was just so much sentiment and so much That
Speaker 6: song is just beautiful. I feel every song that he
Speaker 6: puts out there has so much feeling and for the
Speaker 6: time that I was growing up, I didn't see that
Speaker 6: like much of it, and I feel he never lost
Speaker 6: his thing for putting feeling into the songs.
Speaker 4: Bruno Mars, to me, is going to go down as
Speaker 4: one of the best musicians and performers in the history
Speaker 4: of like pop, rock, whatever you want to call it.
Speaker 4: I think that is what makes him an icon that
Speaker 4: you can't define it right.
Speaker 2: The music is undefinable because.
Speaker 4: He is so lyrically and musically ahead of his contemporaries
Speaker 4: in terms of how he understands, like you said, Danny,
Speaker 4: the lyrics that will make somebody cry. But pairing that
Speaker 4: with the history that he understands about music and his
Speaker 4: sound is uniquely his. In a world where everything is derivative,
Speaker 4: Bruno Mars is a unique sound. Nobody sounds like you know,
Speaker 4: Nobody composes like Bruno, Nobody dances like Bruno, Nobody plays
Speaker 4: instruments like Bruno. I will tell you this, I don't
Speaker 4: let my son listen to a lot of pop music.
Speaker 4: The artist that I let my son listen to is
Speaker 4: Bruno Mars because I want Santi to have an appreciation
Speaker 4: for music that goes across genre, across age across demographic
Speaker 4: and to me, that is the perfect introduction to him
Speaker 4: into music because it's such a complex sound. I want
Speaker 4: my son's ears to train on that, and my son
Speaker 4: can sing almost all of the lyrics to Treasure. It's
Speaker 4: unbelievable at least two years old. Two years old, that's
Speaker 4: the music I want him to understand. So for me,
Speaker 4: he is such an icon.
Speaker 3: I agree with you one million percent where I have
Speaker 3: said it before. His sound is so unique. There is
Speaker 3: nothing like it, just like there is nothing like Shakidas
Speaker 3: before the sound in the nineties, there was just nothing.
Speaker 1: Bruno mars Is has like a.
Speaker 3: Separate category of music that you know, he's considered what
Speaker 3: pop and R and B and it's like everything.
Speaker 4: You're right because he has also not released new music
Speaker 4: in a very long time. He's long overdue for an album, Denny,
Speaker 4: Do you know anything about something forthcoming with him?
Speaker 2: Have you heard any intel at least recently?
Speaker 5: None?
Speaker 3: But wait, hold on, I do know who else has
Speaker 3: new music out right now? Ooh, Selena, Selena Gomez. I mean,
Speaker 3: have you heard the song?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: What were the very first thoughts that you had as
Speaker 3: you heard it?
Speaker 1: Like it played and you were like.
Speaker 4: Okay, So the name by the way, in case you
Speaker 4: guys have not heard the song, so the song is
Speaker 4: called single Soon. The first that I had was I
Speaker 4: cannot wait to make a TikTok to this song. It's very,
Speaker 4: very good. I actually really like it. I think it's
Speaker 4: like it's that type of Selena song that I want
Speaker 4: to hear. I feel that because every time she writes
Speaker 4: a song, it all gets wrapped up in.
Speaker 2: Her relationship history.
Speaker 6: Heard.
Speaker 4: Yeah, people heard this song and immediately thought it was
Speaker 4: about the weekend. She has since set the record straight.
Speaker 4: It is not about the weekend, so everybody calm down
Speaker 4: and listen. It's relatable. The song is super relatable. I
Speaker 4: think it's so good. And Danny, you said you had
Speaker 4: heard it or you have not heard it.
Speaker 6: No, I have not heard it, but I just want
Speaker 6: to add to that. I hate how every time a
Speaker 6: female singer is related to someone, she's always going to
Speaker 6: be related to someone, and if it's not to that
Speaker 6: specific person, it's just this stigma that oh relationships and
Speaker 6: that person. So maybe the song is not about any
Speaker 6: She just wanted to make a song. Why is everybody
Speaker 6: just relating her to oh, this person or that other person.
Speaker 5: Maybe she's just amazing at.
Speaker 6: Whatever she does, like she doesn't need to be related
Speaker 6: to anybody else but herself exactly.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, you know what, Nanny, I'm going to give
Speaker 1: you some advice.
Speaker 3: Before you listen to the song and all of the
Speaker 3: listeners and everybody out there, Before you listen to the song,
Speaker 3: watch the video. I think when you watch the music video,
Speaker 3: you're like, oh, I love it. It gives you something,
Speaker 3: It gives you the visuals. So when you watch it,
Speaker 3: you're just kind of like, oh.
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 4: I'm into that. I like the idea of watching and
Speaker 4: listening at the same time. We don't do it enough,
Speaker 4: like it takes me back. I mean, Danny, you're way
Speaker 4: too young to understand this. But when Joseph and I
Speaker 4: were younger, there was a show called t R Yeah
Speaker 4: to me.
Speaker 3: Young hold on, but we used to be young, Daniel, Okay,
Speaker 3: we did one time we were.
Speaker 2: Young, well, one time we were young and hot.
Speaker 1: I yes, wait, TRL, stop it. You're not going to
Speaker 1: do this to us.
Speaker 4: I am I'm going to do it. I'm the grandmother yo,
Speaker 4: solve Jahita becoming an icon, and my ass was so
Speaker 4: excited to watch TRL Total Request Live with Carson Daily
Speaker 4: and all the stars would go to Times Square and
Speaker 4: unleash like their new video, their new project, and we
Speaker 4: would watch it on MTV at home and like root
Speaker 4: for them. And it was where we consumed music videos.
Speaker 4: That's how we didn't have VVO and YouTube. We watched
Speaker 4: t RL And so I love that this new generation
Speaker 4: is now like understanding the impact of not just listening
Speaker 4: to a song on Spotify or on iHeart, but like
Speaker 4: consuming the video as you're listening. It makes for a
Speaker 4: very different first impression, don't you agree?
Speaker 1: Yes, one thousand percent. It takes you there, It takes
Speaker 1: you to the song.
Speaker 6: I feel the visuals are so important to a song.
Speaker 6: Every time I hear a song, I if it has
Speaker 6: a video, I have to watch it like it's just
Speaker 6: it's there for a reason. They put effort into directing
Speaker 6: the video, editing the colors, the palette and mood bore.
Speaker 5: Everything is for a reason. I always say that.
Speaker 2: No, it's true. It's like your eye has to be trained.
Speaker 4: You watch it multiple times cause you're like looking for
Speaker 4: you know, not to like again give a Taylor Swift reference,
Speaker 4: but you're looking for the Easter eggs throughout the video
Speaker 4: and it's so fun to uncover that. Now we're talking
Speaker 4: about Selena's new song, but I want to take us
Speaker 4: back to recap.
Speaker 2: What are each of your favorite Selena songs?
Speaker 5: All of them?
Speaker 2: Danny, I love you?
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm going to go calm down. I just I
Speaker 3: love it. I love it. I love that song so much,
Speaker 3: Lose you to love Me because that was my like
Speaker 3: it still is my relationship thing.
Speaker 1: Like I have to hear it all.
Speaker 2: The time, you know, some shit beautiful.
Speaker 1: It's so good.
Speaker 3: And my number one favorite song that she's ever came
Speaker 3: out with is called who Says.
Speaker 5: Oh My God, ever ever.
Speaker 3: Ever ever on on planet Earth a kit like ever.
Speaker 3: It's my favorite song on a planet. Who says? That's it?
Speaker 1: That's me, Danny, Who's you?
Speaker 5: Okay? I have to say love your like a love song. Yeah,
Speaker 5: that's just the classic I love song. Baby.
Speaker 2: It's like such an easy beat.
Speaker 5: I just I grew up to that, So I love
Speaker 5: that song. I just love it.
Speaker 6: I still have it on my favorite playlist. I also
Speaker 6: love Killing with Kindness. I feel like that was like
Speaker 6: a whole new vibe era of her of like always
Speaker 6: give kindness and that has stuck up with me for
Speaker 6: the entire way of.
Speaker 5: I just love her so much.
Speaker 6: And also I mean, of course, the heart wants what
Speaker 6: it wants.
Speaker 2: Ooh, you guys picked such good ones.
Speaker 1: Oh god, what are you gonna say? What are yours? No?
Speaker 2: No, no no.
Speaker 4: I mean going last is obviously the worst position because
Speaker 4: you've already actually named two of my three.
Speaker 2: So Joseph, lose you to love me? I agree.
Speaker 4: Speaking of videos, I love that video. I cry when
Speaker 4: I watch that. I think it's such a beautiful song.
Speaker 4: It's raw, it's Selena. I also love her voice on
Speaker 4: that on that particular track, love You Like a Love Song,
Speaker 4: It's just there. It does not get more classic Selena
Speaker 4: than that. And then I'm going to pick another one,
Speaker 4: which you guys did not name, is Same Old Love.
Speaker 4: And I'll tell you why. I got to listen to
Speaker 4: her soundcheck on that song on Jimmy Fallen. Oh my god, Yes, Joseph,
Speaker 4: when we worked at E News, she sang that song.
Speaker 4: She did Same Old Love, and I got to sneak
Speaker 4: into the sound check.
Speaker 3: She would sneak in everywhere, Danny, she was always going
Speaker 3: off limits. She snuck into Bad Bunny's room, and stole
Speaker 3: his grapes. I'm serious, we have video. Anyways, Wait, she's crazy.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Wait so you were in there? Oh yes.
Speaker 4: In my defense, Danny, the reason that I was able
Speaker 4: to access these places, including Bad Bunnies dressing room and
Speaker 4: Selena soundcheck, is that Joseph and I worked on E
Speaker 4: News across the hall from Jimmy Fallon, So all of
Speaker 4: these huge stars were coming through on a daily basis
Speaker 4: and we shared a hallway with them, so it wasn't
Speaker 4: like I was like putting on a disguise and breaking in.
Speaker 4: Joseph made me sound like a criminal. I had an
Speaker 4: NBC so bad.
Speaker 1: Literally you could we could see them. You open the door,
Speaker 1: You open the door and they're there.
Speaker 5: You sound like a great badic Yah Bunny's.
Speaker 4: So for me, I was like, Wow, I'd never seen
Speaker 4: her concerts, I'd never seen her perform live, and she
Speaker 4: was so good and so sweet, and like, I just
Speaker 4: connected to that song because it's really cool to see
Speaker 4: someone soundcheck a song like that and watch her. It's
Speaker 4: not that I don't want to say perfectionism, because I
Speaker 4: think that has a bad tone, but to see how
Speaker 4: professional she was and how every single thing she wanted
Speaker 4: to check off the list. She took it so seriously
Speaker 4: and I was like, Wow, she is a fucking pro.
Speaker 4: I love this girl like I love her and the
Speaker 4: song killed it that night, and I remember watching the
Speaker 4: show being like she performed it better than in soundcheck,
Speaker 4: like she's she's amazing. So that's those are my three
Speaker 4: top favorite Selena songs, which we have a lot of
Speaker 4: crossover on.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: I do want to get to Bruno songs.
Speaker 4: Because he has a vast catalog, not a new catalog,
Speaker 4: but a vast catalog. So I'm gonna go to Danny first,
Speaker 4: top three Bruno Mars songs just the way you are.
Speaker 5: Of course, I have a lot I don't.
Speaker 6: I have treasure, of course, and I'm between the Lacy song,
Speaker 6: m H and Uptown Funk. I'm between those, but I'm
Speaker 6: gonna say the lazy song.
Speaker 2: The lazy song.
Speaker 1: Is simple.
Speaker 3: I'm only gonna do one Bruno Mars song. It's Lucked
Speaker 3: out of Heaven. That's it, just one. That's what I give.
Speaker 1: That's all I have for the.
Speaker 3: Your list is going to go on, just like Danny
Speaker 3: was trying to flip fit in four, so give us too.
Speaker 2: I mean I'll give you a stree Okay. Versace on
Speaker 2: the floor.
Speaker 4: Oh oh yes, like take off all my clothes. That
Speaker 4: is like I hate again another word, panty dropper. I
Speaker 4: hate that word. I hate that love that word. How
Speaker 4: am I not surprised that Joseph Garriol loves the term
Speaker 4: panty dropper. Versace on the floor. It's sensual, it's sexy,
Speaker 4: it's giving like a.
Speaker 5: Whole amazing, it's amazing.
Speaker 4: Another song that I think people overlook all the time
Speaker 4: and again to me like a masterful song is Runaway Baby.
Speaker 2: He sang it at the super Bowl.
Speaker 4: It's a full orchestra, the band is dancing, he's dancing.
Speaker 2: He slows it down, he builds it up.
Speaker 4: He shows you, like how important is cadence in a
Speaker 4: song timing like it's to me.
Speaker 2: That's like so good.
Speaker 4: And then I love Treasure because my son sings it
Speaker 4: and like forever for the rest of my life. Anytime
Speaker 4: I hear it, I'm just going to think of like
Speaker 4: Santi's little voice in his car seat singing Treasure in
Speaker 4: the backseat.
Speaker 2: He goes, that is what you are, Golden Star. Record
Speaker 2: it well, Danny, before we let you go, I want
Speaker 2: you to like, put your thinking cap on your fan
Speaker 2: hat on. What do you think the future holds for
Speaker 2: Bruno and Selena?
Speaker 6: Hopefully I want to hear more songs from Bruno Mars.
Speaker 6: I miss his songs even though I listen to them
Speaker 6: probably on the daily, but I miss I want more songs,
Speaker 6: So hopefully that and for Selena, I really hope.
Speaker 5: I just I prayed to the gods that.
Speaker 6: She maybe puts on some type of concert for I
Speaker 6: know it's just like a long shot, okay.
Speaker 5: But hear me out.
Speaker 6: I really wish she would just put on a concert
Speaker 6: with her new single, but also sing in her old songs.
Speaker 6: Now that I think about it, that is a lot
Speaker 6: of pressure. I just need her to sing live. I
Speaker 6: just I just need her to sing live. I didn't
Speaker 6: need to go see her because when I was a kid,
Speaker 6: I would I wouldn't beg my parents be like, please,
Speaker 6: can I go to a concert? My parents were like,
Speaker 6: concerts are dangerous for little kids.
Speaker 4: I was like, okay, well, I'm about to put something
Speaker 4: out there that I think would be so major.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's just speak it into existence.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 4: We know that Shakira is being honored at the VMA's.
Speaker 4: Wouldn't it be amazing to hear Selina sing a Shakira song,
Speaker 4: introducing Shakira, them duet together.
Speaker 2: And then have Shakira take it from her.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, how in the world did you even
Speaker 3: just think of that right now? Or have you been
Speaker 3: marinating on that? Because that is fucking wild and genius
Speaker 3: at the same time.
Speaker 2: Uh No, that just came to me and Danny's right.
Speaker 4: We haven't heard Selena sing live in a long time,
Speaker 4: and what better way to honor another fellow Latina icon
Speaker 4: like Shakier than at the VMA's.
Speaker 2: I'm just setting the state.
Speaker 4: I don't have any insight, I don't have intel, but listen,
Speaker 4: when you speak things into existence magic.
Speaker 6: Please and yes magic manifest it, manifest it.
