00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: I got to, uh, where do we start. Let's start

13
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 1: with Toy with Me. Okay, the album Toy with Me

14
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,319
Speaker 1: isn't out till April of next year.

15
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 3: I know, too far, but that's how long it takes

16
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 3: to print vinyls.

17
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: Six months.

18
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: They printed one at a time.

19
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 2: Like, we'll do it in April, and I'm like, but

20
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 2: it's done now.

21
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, so if you're doing just digital, you could

22
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: have it out tomorrow morning.

23
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: Yeah huh, But I'll just sit on these bangers for now.

24
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: That's a question. I mean, we all have our specific

25
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: reasons we appreciate vinyl, but why is making sure vinyl

26
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: a priority a big thing for you nowadays?

27
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: Sally manager.

28
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 3: The kids like to buy them and make it art

29
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 3: in their rooms, okay, and I like to sign a

30
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 3: bunch of them, So okay, will you ever go and

31
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 3: sign some and like hide them in the stores so

32
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 3: people find them signed.

33
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: Already now I am.

34
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, the plastic open a little bit, but they

35
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 3: don't mind no if you sign it.

36
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: I did like that, right, Yeah.

37
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: So the album Toy with Me out April twenty fourth.

38
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 1: We've already been playing Still Don't Care Much, which we'll

39
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: play again. Uh So this album took a while to

40
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: put together for you.

41
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it took longer than I usually I do, Like

42
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 3: they usually take three months, and this one took longer

43
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 3: because I was also doing a bunch of other stuff

44
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 3: at the same time. But I've never worked so hard

45
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 3: on songs. Usually I write a song in a day

46
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 3: and it's done. I wrote these songs in a couple

47
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 3: of days, but the production and finalizing each song took

48
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 3: months and a lot of different producers because I would

49
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 3: just be like, it's not perfectye, I need to move

50
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 3: it on to someone else, which was difficult. But now

51
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 3: these songs are at a higher level than I think

52
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 3: I've ever done. Before, and I'm very proud of them,

53
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 3: and so I'm trying to spread the word as far

54
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 3: as I can.

55
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: There's bad people to listen to it.

56
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 1: Well, we want to talk about that. I want to

57
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: talk about you outspreading the word and we appreciate you

58
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: spreading it for us. You know what I mean, you

59
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: know what I hear. But the song, let's let's talk

60
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: about uh still don't care? Yes, you you would work

61
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: with a producer and say it's time to move on

62
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: to someone else, whatever, all with the goal of making

63
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: a hit. What does it take? In your Megan Trainer opinion,

64
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,119
Speaker 1: what does it take to make a hit?

65
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 3: But I don't know, everyone, I don't know. I don't

66
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 3: know what makes a hit because I had all about

67
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 3: that base for in like nine months, and I was

68
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 3: everyone's like, just wait for your one song, and I

69
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 3: was like, I don't have it, I guess, and then

70
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 3: that song came out of nowhere, I thought everyone, But

71
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 3: I had that song for like a whole pregnancy, so

72
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 3: a whole nine months.

73
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 2: I wasn't pregnant, but like at the time, so you

74
00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 2: never know.

75
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: So let's is that it. If someone comes up with

76
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: their answer to make a hit. Is this, this, and this,

77
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: it's all bs. It's just I think.

78
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: So I'm like I thought I knew.

79
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 3: I thought for a while, I was like, I have

80
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 3: a bunch of hits, Like I totally got this formula,

81
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 3: but I know how to make like a pop like

82
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 3: I studied Max Martin. So I I feel like I

83
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: tried to make those pop hits, but I couldn't tell

84
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 3: you how to make like the weekend hit, you know,

85
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 3: like one of those songs.

86
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 2: I don't know how to make all genre hits.

87
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 3: I don't know how to make like an awesome Tate

88
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 3: McCrae cool Tit for Tat hit, you know what I mean?

89
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 3: Like I don't know how to write that, but I

90
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 3: know how to write a Megan Trainer self love anthem,

91
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 3: Like you.

92
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: Know, I have one more question to go become a

93
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: strong radio makes it a hit. This is where I'm going.

94
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: I want to talk about this. That's so funny. We're

95
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: on the same wavelength, We're on the same beam.

96
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: Gotcha.

97
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: You Since the very beginning of your career that we

98
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: knew of, you came to see us. You loved coming

99
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: out and doing radio interviews, and you still do. Yeah,

100
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: it's so important. You know, a lot of a lot

101
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: of artists would rather just not leave the house and

102
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: if they can throw something on a video from their

103
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: bedroom and here it is, that's that's as far as

104
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: they go.

105
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 3: I flew out to see you, my love, the importance

106
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 3: that I'm only going if Elvis is yes.

107
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: And I'm sure the airlines are so appreciative of that. Well,

108
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: because you brought forty five people with you.

109
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 3: I did.

110
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: Who are these people?

111
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 3: My managers that are on the computer, and my stylists,

112
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 3: my husband on my radio team, and there's more out there.

113
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 3: I know.

114
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: I love that, But you still do it the way

115
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: it's been done for a while. And why is it?

116
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: Why is it important to get out and put the

117
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: work in like this.

118
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 2: I don't know.

119
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 3: It's harder than ever now, I guess, to like really

120
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 3: get the word out. I still see like big artists

121
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 3: like release, like.

122
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: For the Grammy nominations.

123
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 3: Recently, I saw someone get nominated for their album that

124
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 3: I never even heard of, and it made me sad.

125
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 3: I was like, oh my god, how did I not

126
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 3: know this even existed? Because the Internet is so big

127
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 3: now and everything is so spread out and there's too

128
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 3: much going on that I have been so nervous about

129
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 3: this record that I've never worked harder on and I'm

130
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 3: so busy with my two kids, and i just want

131
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 3: to show them and make them proud, show them what

132
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 3: Ama can do. So I'm like, I need to say

133
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 3: us to everything and just get out there as much

134
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 3: as possible to have everyone know, like, Hi, I'm mega

135
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 3: trainer and I have songs coming out, check them out please.

136
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:18,559
Speaker 1: It's pretty simple.

137
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 2: Yeah.

138
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 3: But like even when I put this album out, my

139
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 3: manager said it best. He was like, just keep posting,

140
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 3: just keep getting out there, just do the best you can.

141
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 2: Because to this day, people are still like.

00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: Wait, does it really make you closer? Yeah?

166
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: Really?

167
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 2: Too much?

168
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: Too close?

169
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: It's too close. It's too close.

170
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 4: Are the kids at the age where they have figured out,

171
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 4: look what mommy can do, like actually watching and acknowledging it.

172
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 3: I cannot tell because sometimes sometimes I think they know,

173
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 3: like when I play like we're mixing the album, so

174
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 3: we play it a lot in in the living room

175
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 3: and kitchen area where the kids are, and when I

176
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 3: start to play it, my two year old runs in

177
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 3: and goes.

178
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: It's time to dance, and so I know he's a fan.

179
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 2: But then he looked at.

180
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 3: Me the other day and was like, can you play

181
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 3: Meghan Twena? And I was like, are you asking?

182
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: Are you asking me?

183
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 3: Because you think I'm Mega Trainer or do you ask

184
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 3: me because you love Mega Trainer? Do you love Megan Training?

185
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 3: And he's like yeah, and I was like, yeah, she's pretty.

186
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 3: And then I think, because I get so glammed up,

187
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 3: like for my music video, still don't care. I'm like

188
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 3: a princess pop star and I'm flying in the sky.

189
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 3: So I play for my kids to hopefully think they

190
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 3: think I'm cool. And I watched it next to him,

191
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 3: but I was all grungy, like at home and my

192
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 3: scrubs and I was like, that's mama, how cool?

193
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: And he was like can we watch TV? Do you

194
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 2: not know that's me? He goes, I lovely this.

195
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 3: Wait till they get old enough and they're like, mom,

196
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 3: can you introduce me to Ariana Grande?

197
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 2: Yeah? Hopefully someday they'll care.

198
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: So great, Darryl, you and you make it. Is it

199
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,600

00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 3: Thing?

202
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: Well, I mean it's fun. I mean it's the best

203
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: because I keep going back to the days where before

204
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: you even met Darryl, I know, right, and you know,

205
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: and look at you now and look at you and

206
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: Darryl now and kids and two toilets that you're leaving behind.

207
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 3: I know.

208
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: It's just kind of funny how life just takes us

209
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: fun places.

210
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're blinking and it's going by so fast, too fast.

211
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 3: But we need more kids are yeah, I want a doata.

212
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: Well what if you don't get a daughter, What if

213
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: you get another boy?

214
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 3: That's all right, I'm gonna love him just as much.

215
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 3: But I thought the first two were girls, and I

216
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 3: was tricked. I love them so much, they're so boring.

217
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 3: Every time I was pregnant with them, I was like,

218
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 3: this is twin girls. I can feel it.

219
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 2: And I was really wrong somewhat.

220
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 4: So now you've you've got a lot going on and

221
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 4: you're kind of in a different place with kids, and

222
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 4: what is happening with your career. Is there's something on

223
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 4: this album that we are going to hear that's going

224
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 4: to sound different than the things that we've heard before.

225
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 2: And do you have a favorite song from the album? Oh,

226
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 2: that's so tough. This album I really studied.

227
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 3: I was doing a lot of private gigs this year,

228
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 3: and I noticed that in my sets, I had a

229
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 3: lot of hits, but they all sounded all over the

230
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 3: place like I had a lot of douop hits, and

231
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 3: then I would sing not so that, ah so no no,

232
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 3: and then me too songs like that, and I was like,

233
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 3: I wish they had friends. I wish me too, and

234
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 3: no had friends anymore, just so by themselves because the

235
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 3: rest is like all do ops. So on this album,

236
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 3: I wrote what I call like older, cooler sisters for

237
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 3: those songs. So if you like those songs, there's more

238
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 3: of that on this album.

239
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: A lot of my songs are like extra musical.

240
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 3: And then I watched a family member go through an

241
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 3: intense breakup, and so I wrote a lot of angry

242
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 3: songs of like get in girl, I'm gonna take your shopping,

243
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take care of you. This man means nothing,

244
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 3: who cares? So we did. I did a lot of

245
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 3: fassy songs on it. And then I have my one

246
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 3: ballad called Little One that's for my kids, that's like,

247
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 3: please stay this little forever. Okay, you're so cute and innocent.

248
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 3: Nothing bad has happened to you yet, you know. And

249
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 3: at the end they go, I love you, mama, and

250
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 3: it's the cute.

251
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 2: Do they get like a credit for being on your song?

252
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 2: Are the artists?

253
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 3: Now?

254
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm amazingly.

255
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: Yeahs are being pumped up.

256
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like is this my song? Like, this is

257
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 2: your song?

258
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: So, of course with the album coming out in April,

259
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the fact that you are doing over

260
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: thirty arenas and amphitheaters across North America, including our own

261
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: Manasons Bare Garden in July. Please show up play in

262
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: the Garden? I mean, does it ever get old?

263
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 3: Oh? I still think my team paid people to show

264
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 3: up to the last time.

265
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: I'm still not convinced.

266
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 3: I couldn't believe it when I went in there, I

267
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 3: was like, no way, this is full right now, and

268
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 3: that we get to do it again is crazy to me.

269
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 3: And the TD Garden too in Boston, right that's like

270
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 3: my biggest dream. I've never played there, like a headlined

271
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 3: the show by myself only with the jingle balls and like,

272
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 3: which is so fun and cool.

273
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: But so the fun keeps coming, the fun keeps coming.

274
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: And I also noticed that some of the proceeds are

275
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: going to Trevor Project, which Trevor Project is a major

276
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: in my life as well. Why'd you decide Trevor Project.

277
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 3: I've like always tried to collab with them for a

278
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 3: long time now, I just love everything they do and

279
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 3: I want more people to know about them. So wherever

280
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 3: I go on tour, if I can help in any

281
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 3: way spread the word and get more donations, Like that's

282
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 3: the dream come true.

283
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: That's great for me and them.

284
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: So you go look at those boxes you're checking off.

285
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: You go back to Megan when you were eleven years

286
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: old and your first.

287
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 3: Song you hear any of this, eleven year old Megan

288
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 3: had no, I can't believe bangs. I did this in

289
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 3: sixth grade and I immediately regretted it and put a

290
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 3: headband up for the rest of my time in school.

291
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 2: And now she's I love bangs. Now it's okay.

292
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: But just think about the road you have traveled to

293
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: get you where you are today with the family and

294
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: this career and writing more songs. Yeah, hiring and firing producers.

295
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: Never but an eleven year old data.

296
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 2: I'm crazy. Everyone does that.

297
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: Never in years when anyone thinking eleven year old would

298
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: even think about, oh.

299
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't have all these dreams because I didn't

300
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 3: like believe in myself like that.

301
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 2: When I was younger, I always wanted to I was like,

302
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 2: we're gonna need a tour bus because we're going to tour.

303
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 3: And he was just laughing, like okay, But I didn't

304
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 3: even like think of these dreams because they weren't even

305
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 3: like attainable in my brain. I was like, there's no

306
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 3: way I'll get that. So when I started, when I

307
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 3: got all about the base and gun number one, I

308
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 3: was like, what else can I achieve? And then when

309
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 3: I met the love of my life and got married

310
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 3: A yeah, I was like, wow, we need kids. And

311
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 3: then when I did that and survived two sea sections,

312
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 3: I was like, there's nothing I can't do. Just trying

313
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 3: to show my kids that, like, you work really hard

314
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 3: and you can have all your dreams come true.

315
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 4: And now you said you're in a new era where

316
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 4: dudes are suddenly loving you because you're part of these

Speaker 3: I don't know what I'm walking into And I practiced

332
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 3: my lines and then I got there and they were like,

333
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 3: it's funnier when you freestyle, like just make this guy laugh.

334
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 3: And I was like, all right, So I just kind

335

00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 2: You are like, who are you, sir?

337
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 3: And then I was like, oh, he does the sports

338
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 3: and they kept all of that and that was like

339
00:12:58,600 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 3: the whole commercial and I was.

340
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 1: Like, he does sports.

341
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 2: Yea, yeah, that's great. And then I realized how iconic

342
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: he was. I was like, oh, I love it.

343
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: We're going back to, you know, eleven year old Megan Trainer,

344
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: not really understanding where the dreams are going or what

345
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: the dream should be. Anyone who's driving to work right

346
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: now listening to this conversation with Megan, you know, if

347
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: you've lost your dream, the dreams continue to come your way.

348
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 1: You just have to know how to spot them and

349
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: run for them. And I'm assume, I'm assuming that being

350
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: in a career as you have done and accomplished, being

351
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: in for so long, you really have to reimagine your

352
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: dreams constantly. It's not you had a dream at ten

353
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: and you that's your life dream. I think it evolves.

354
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 3: I also have like the best management ever. And they

355
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 3: came over one day, like a year ago, a love

356
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 3: you girls, and they came over and they had big

357
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 3: giant pieces of paper and they said, Okay, we're going

358
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 3: to do a manifestation meeting.

359
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 2: And I was like what, and they're like, write down

360
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 2: any dream. Here's like and there's no.

361
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 3: The rule is there's no dream too crazy, you know,

362
00:13:58,679 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 3: like anything you want.

363
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 2: I was like, hold on, so no, and we.

364
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,400

Speaker 3: do you want it in the next year or the

366
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 3: next three years?

367
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:06,960

00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 3: And we made Hugeless And in that one meeting, we've

370
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 3: already like knocked off so many bucket list dreams. And

371
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 3: when I tell other artists that they're like your managers

372
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,200

Speaker 1: You don't have to be Megan Trainer or in the

380
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: industry that we're talking about to be surrounded by the
