Speaker 2: Yeah, your country being Canada.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, you're my country being Swifty Swift dejastination Swift Nation.
Speaker 2: There we go, yes, yeah, well do okay.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about your life because you are
Speaker 1: the only one in my life who like there's a
Speaker 1: maybe a couple no, you like are the top spot,
Speaker 1: like if we're talking about like rankings, like you're my
Speaker 1: boy breaks his favorite toys and then like I have
Speaker 1: other people that are like down bad, which is like
Speaker 1: very high up there in terms of like liking Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1: But it's not like it's my boy only breaks his
Speaker 1: favorite toys. Is so far above you. You are, like,
Speaker 1: you're swifty on the level that I am. Do you
Speaker 1: have the swifties in your personal life?
Speaker 3: You're You're at that are level, You're at Nikki, it's
Speaker 3: only you.
Speaker 2: Really, what did you do before me?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 2: What did we do before each other?
Speaker 3: Okay, so a few years ago, this was pre pandemic,
Speaker 3: I put on I never told you this. I put
Speaker 3: on a Taylor Swift show on her birthday for her,
Speaker 3: so I know. It was on.
Speaker 4: December THIRTI like a comedy show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a talk show, and I had a
Speaker 3: co host named Adele, so her and I would message
Speaker 3: a lot. And I had a bunch of comics who
Speaker 3: love her, who wrote material about her for the show.
Speaker 3: So there's a comic Olivia Stadler, she was also on it.
Speaker 3: I know her, you know her? Yeah, I feel I
Speaker 3: feel like you would know her. So yeah, I had
Speaker 3: some people I could reach out to and talk to,
Speaker 3: but not at this level.
Speaker 2: Like what Are you on the subreddits?
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm on the sub are you?
Speaker 1: That's where you get where I get the like, that's
Speaker 1: where I get the Okay, I'm not alone in this obsession,
Speaker 1: Like before I met someone personally who was at the
Speaker 1: same level as me, because it just it's a disappointment
Speaker 1: when you see people in Taylor Swift merge and you
Speaker 1: try to strike up a conversation like the way that
Speaker 1: we want to have and they just aren't picking it up,
Speaker 1: you know, and and they don't want to go there,
Speaker 1: and they're kind of a little bit like, oh, I
Speaker 1: don't know about that or like, so it's it's rare
Speaker 1: to find someone, especially someone who's a comedian, especially someone
Speaker 1: who I just met through someone else. Like it's not
Speaker 1: like we found each other because of Taylor Swift. It
Speaker 1: was just so exciting.
Speaker 3: But one of the reasons, like one of the reasons
Speaker 3: I wanted to meet you so much was because I knew.
Speaker 4: We both had a love for her.
Speaker 3: I even because you did this really cool thing where
Speaker 3: you had a dance party during the pandemic and you
Speaker 3: dated all the money to an animal shelter, and I
Speaker 3: bought a ticket and I danced the whole night and
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, I.
Speaker 4: Just want to meet her. She's so cool. You just
Speaker 4: get you know, Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2: That was so fun. Yeah, I was.
Speaker 1: That was when when my obsession was peaking, and obviously
Speaker 1: it was before Folklore and evermore, and it was just yeah,
Speaker 1: it was like fresh COVID and yeah I did.
Speaker 2: A dance party.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember staying at my parents' house and man
Speaker 1: that when that song came out. It like, first of all,
Speaker 1: when Folklock came out, they had a Saint Louis mentioned
Speaker 1: within the second track, and then they had to the
Speaker 1: damn season soon after that, where it was like staying
Speaker 1: at my parents' house and I was like, wait a second,
Speaker 1: on the same page here it was released. I think
Speaker 1: everyone finds little things like that in her songs.
Speaker 4: That wait, what she's reading my mind reference.
Speaker 1: Rebecca showed up Bie afternoon train. It was sunny, her
Speaker 1: saltback house on the coast took her mind off Saint Louis,
Speaker 1: And so we always get really excited when it's just like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, she's mentioning the city I'm from. It's
Speaker 1: I'd imagine, I imagine how it feels to be a
Speaker 1: Chloe Sophia or Marcus.
Speaker 2: Or a Era or a Hannah.
Speaker 1: Not really not those anyway. So Torture Poet's Department. We
Speaker 1: are now a week and half out of it feels
Speaker 1: like it's been a month because I've spent so much
Speaker 1: time with it. Are you having this thing where you're
Speaker 1: having to take breaks? Because it's not it doesn't it's
Speaker 1: hitting different, Like it's not. I don't have the Limerens
Speaker 1: thing going on, which is that like drug related type
Speaker 1: feeling that courses through your veins when you are first
Speaker 1: falling in love with a song, like it's starting the
Speaker 1: drugs aren't getting me high anymore? Like obviously I love
Speaker 1: the song, there's no question, but I'm not getting high
Speaker 1: from them. Are you having that and want to find
Speaker 1: for me? It's like maybe not necessarily the high, but
Speaker 1: because she pulls me in so emotionally, I find that
Speaker 1: I'm depleted after listening to the album, like because I'll
Speaker 1: put it on once requests and then I'm like I can't,
Speaker 1: Like this has just taken so much out of me.
Speaker 1: I need if you listening to the album and like
Speaker 1: all together, like you like go through it? You yeahs
Speaker 1: slight man, Okay, we're different kind of swifty because I
Speaker 1: know about you, guys. I hear about you on the
Speaker 1: subred It's like you're listening to the album and you're
Speaker 1: being drained emotionally, Like I don't know what that is.
Speaker 1: You must be in an extreme mpath.
Speaker 2: Is that something that.
Speaker 3: Maybe my sister is? So maybe I think I'm not
Speaker 3: to the extent as her, But I do feel things
Speaker 3: like and on this album more so than all of
Speaker 3: her other previous albums, because the the lyrics are what
Speaker 3: really shine through, right, Like the action I don't want
Speaker 3: to say feels the same because it's different for each song,
Speaker 3: but it's not like Midnights where we're getting a different
Speaker 3: kind of song one after the other. I find that
Speaker 3: in all yeah, like from the same emotional place and melancholic.
Speaker 1: Yes, And I don't know if I said this before,
Speaker 1: but like that whole argument that this all sounds the same,
Speaker 1: like I probably did. I'm so sorry if I repeat myself.
Speaker 1: I talk about Taylor swif constantly, so I don't know
Speaker 1: where I said each thing, So there might be some
Speaker 1: things repeated in this episode. And you can just like
Speaker 1: press the skip, you know, like go thirty seconds ahead
Speaker 1: and then I'll be done saying the thing.
Speaker 2: I just said.
Speaker 1: But for people saying this sounds the same if it
Speaker 1: sounded to Midnights, I remember the discourse around that was
Speaker 1: it wasn't cohesive enough, oh sounding too different. So it's
Speaker 1: like I remember that being a criticism of it. It
Speaker 1: wasn't a cohesive album, which is always like a word
Speaker 1: that music critics use to talk about albums, like it
Speaker 1: doesn't have a similar theme, And it's like, and now
Speaker 1: this one does, and people are like, it doesn't have
Speaker 1: any kind of nuanced it's not We're not on a
Speaker 1: roller coaster. It's like, but you complained last time that
Speaker 1: she did that, so kind of as the you know,
Speaker 1: I've said it before, but it's the point she makes
Speaker 1: about if you uh have enough fat on you to
Speaker 1: have an ass, you have a tummy, and if you
Speaker 1: don't have a tummy, then you're not gonna have an ass,
Speaker 1: and people will criticize you for that.
Speaker 2: So it's like you can't It's almost like you can't
Speaker 2: fucking win.
Speaker 1: Yes, so such is the life of Taylor Swift. But
Speaker 1: and yes, you're right, I guess I'm not drained emotionally
Speaker 1: from this album as much as I've been hearing other
Speaker 1: people like I definitely am feeling things and I think
Speaker 1: I just I'm sorry, Taylor, if you're listening, I don't
Speaker 1: think about your life as much as I think about
Speaker 1: my life, and like I I will, I'm obviously like
Speaker 1: I know you're happy now because of so high school
Speaker 1: and the Alchemy, and like I'm so I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 1: she's she's good and because this album's success, and I mean,
Speaker 1: and I don't know she's happy, by the way, that's
Speaker 1: me being Uh, she can do it with a broken heart.
Speaker 1: I can read her mind. She's having the time of
Speaker 1: her life. She could be not right now. We know
Speaker 1: that from I can do it with the broken heart
Speaker 1: because she can fool us. Yeah, because she's a fucking.
Speaker 4: Pro, because she's a master. But I am not.
Speaker 1: I'm not like, oh my god, I can't believe she
Speaker 1: went through this, Like I'm I'm sad that she did,
Speaker 1: of course, but I'm not. Like when we got off
Speaker 1: the podcast last week, you kind of blew my mind
Speaker 1: with how you were saying, like it really like it,
Speaker 1: like it makes you sad, Like you're sad after listening
Speaker 1: to songs like you get depressed wait, you don't. I
Speaker 1: don't relate to that at all. If anything, it like
Speaker 1: is a nurturing blanket. It's like someone like crazy, Like
Speaker 1: it's like laying in my grandmother's lap and her like
Speaker 1: gently like rubbing my hair and like drawing animals on
Speaker 1: my back. And I can guess what like the most
Speaker 1: comforting feeling. It feels buzzy. It feels like a narcotic.
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding you. I feel like I could just
Speaker 1: you could see me on skid row and like you
Speaker 1: know those memes where it's like someone's mainlining an iPod
Speaker 1: into their and that's that's torture Poets for me right now.
Speaker 1: Of like you know, probably seven of the songs last night,
Speaker 1: I learned Love of my Life on the guitar, which
Speaker 1: is very very simple, if you, if anyone here wants
Speaker 1: to learn guitar, it's very very easy. And it's and
Speaker 1: that's like and I was almost like making myself cry
Speaker 1: because of how like I was singing it.
Speaker 2: Like that was a that was really a cathartic moment
Speaker 2: for me.
Speaker 1: But I'm not having like, oh I'm so set, like
Speaker 1: I need to like someone to pick me up. If anything,
Speaker 1: I put this album on to like get me out
Speaker 1: of those moods that have nothing to do with her.
Speaker 3: So my question is, do you think because you have
Speaker 3: a musical background that's the reason, because I don't. I like,
Speaker 3: I'm like Taylor does what she's background? What are you
Speaker 3: talking about?
Speaker 1: I started playing, I started playing, but I sang in
Speaker 1: choir in high school. But I started singing and playing
Speaker 1: music only four years ago, less than.
Speaker 4: But you're incredible and your voice is amazing.
Speaker 2: That is really debatable. But thank you so much.
Speaker 4: Oh but I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think I approach it from like I see
Speaker 1: that like I have synesthesia see it musically. I think
Speaker 1: it's just we're This is what I like about Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1: Our favorites, which we've ranked them, are so different the
Speaker 1: way we that she her music makes us feel. But
Speaker 1: why would you want to listen to it if it
Speaker 1: makes you sad? Is my point?
Speaker 2: Is my question for you?
Speaker 3: Oh my god, it's almost like because I've been listening
Speaker 3: to her music since I was nineteen, and it's like
Speaker 3: she's opening up her diary.
Speaker 4: And how can I not is the question? How can
Speaker 4: I not.
Speaker 2: Like morbid curiosity?
Speaker 3: It's a connection I have to her. It's hard to explain.
Speaker 3: It's like I've been I've listened to every single song
Speaker 3: she's put out since two thousand and nine. I'm not
Speaker 3: going to stop now her.
Speaker 1: Even though it hurts. But does it feel good? And
Speaker 1: there has to be some component of it that makes
Speaker 1: you feel good? Why would you do it? You're you're
Speaker 1: just doing it because you're a fan.
Speaker 3: And you have to no, Well, you know what it's
Speaker 3: like when you're trying. You love a new song and
Speaker 3: you like even though whatever emotions it makes you feel,
Speaker 3: you still want to know the lyrics right. You want
Speaker 3: to get to a point where you know what the
Speaker 3: bridge is, you know what. So that's what keeps me listening.
Speaker 3: I think, is I wanted?
Speaker 1: You're trying to memorize it even though it makes you sad,
Speaker 1: Well listen, hold on. Who am I to judge you
Speaker 1: for doing something that ultimately makes you sad because that's
Speaker 1: literally everything I do is like it feels but at
Speaker 1: first it feels good at least, you know, like if
Speaker 1: I use drugs, if I drink, if I engage in
Speaker 1: texting people I should in or whatever whatever, Like you know,
Speaker 1: thing we do in our life that gives us a
Speaker 1: momentary surge like a drug. There is a depressing thing afterwards,
Speaker 1: and that's what I'm feeling with. It's just not hitting
Speaker 1: the same way where I'm like I need now, I
Speaker 1: need well. Thank God there's thirty one fucking songs because
Speaker 1: the second my boy only breaks his favorite toys. I
Speaker 1: haven't listened to that song in five days because I
Speaker 1: need to recalibrate. It's not like I need to build
Speaker 1: up my tolerance again. And so when it comes on,
Speaker 1: I go, oh my god, this song, you know, like
Speaker 1: I need to get it back. Music is one hundred
Speaker 1: percent like a drug for me. There's such correlations to it.
Speaker 1: And and and I was gonna say it's like having
Speaker 1: a crush on a guy like I said last week,
Speaker 1: like I was feeling like this weird feeling come over
Speaker 1: me of like oh my god, when I go home,
Speaker 1: I get to like text a boy I like, which
Speaker 1: I haven't been doing that for so long I'm in
Speaker 1: a relationship. But then I was realized it was the album.
Speaker 1: It was like, it gives me this look up the
Speaker 1: word limerence I had. I have limerens with these albums.
Speaker 1: But that's also a drug, like love falling in love
Speaker 1: with someone that kind of early stage. So this it
Speaker 1: and I mean it's so fitting because this album is
Speaker 1: about like using love as a drug to get over something,
Speaker 1: you know, to get over Joe, which everyone says this
Speaker 1: album is not about Joe, but it is because Maddie
Speaker 1: is a response to Joe.
Speaker 2: That is, it is about Joe.
Speaker 3: I don't think Maddie I did agree with it because
Speaker 3: it's she well she even says I took the miracle
Speaker 3: move on drug.
Speaker 2: The effects were temporary. Why does she need a drug
Speaker 2: to move on? If?
Speaker 1: If she's fine about Joe?
Speaker 3: I thought she said that she took the drug to
Speaker 3: get all over Maddie.
Speaker 2: Oh you think, Oh you think I think Maddie is
Speaker 2: the drug.
Speaker 4: I'll tell you. I'll tell you my thesis.
Speaker 1: Interesting, Okay, we when.
Speaker 3: Jack Antonoff posted brand Yeah, when Jack Antonoff posted the
Speaker 3: photo of her counting the raisins and said.
Speaker 2: Yes losing the night they recorded You're Losing Me.
Speaker 4: That was years ago.
Speaker 3: So she's been on and off and on and off
Speaker 3: and Midnight right, well, like you said, was the breakup
Speaker 3: album with Maroon, Right, it's different, you know, like and
Speaker 3: on Midnight Sweet Sweet, Nothing exactly the.
Speaker 1: Jeweled best believe I'm still a bit jeweled. And when
Speaker 1: the when I when I meet the band, they asked
Speaker 1: do you have a man?
Speaker 2: What man? Do you think? That was the night?
Speaker 1: I think it was the nineteen seventy five I'll say,
Speaker 1: I don't remember, like that is. When I heard that lyric,
Speaker 1: I go, what, oh, who is this about? We're not
Speaker 1: dealing with characters anymore in folklore. You know this is you, girl,
Speaker 1: And if I loved.
Speaker 4: It, maybe so bold.
Speaker 3: Both question and glitch are about Maddie and they were.
Speaker 2: On now this is midnights.
Speaker 1: Yes, well, she might have been talking to him when
Speaker 1: they were on little breaks, because as someone who has
Speaker 1: been in a relationship that ends and then gets back
Speaker 1: together and ends and get back together during those breaks,
Speaker 1: you often go back to someone who you possibly could
Speaker 1: have been talking to before you got together with that person,
Speaker 1: which is what we know from a lot of reconnaissance
Speaker 1: about Maddie. And so this is all speculating and we
Speaker 1: are definitely being Sarah's Hannahs right now. So I apologize
Speaker 1: to Taylor Swift for speculating. But girl, like I said
Speaker 1: last week, this is what you do to us and
Speaker 1: I'm sorry if it feels invasive. And I love you
Speaker 1: so much and I do the same things, and so
Speaker 1: that's why I love talking about it. Nothing you've done
Speaker 1: has ever been like I would never do that. I
Speaker 1: do all of it, and it makes me feel seen.
Speaker 3: I saw this incredible. I wish I knew who the
Speaker 3: creator was. It was a real on Instagram and you know,
Speaker 3: the one is also about Maddie and it says, what yes,
Speaker 3: yes girl?
Speaker 1: And why is she going to get out of the
Speaker 1: set list when she broke up with Joe? We all
Speaker 1: thought that was because I remove one not missing on
Speaker 1: thee She removed invisible string and put the one on
Speaker 1: because one invisible string. She sorry, sorry, she moved invisible string.
Speaker 1: You're right, I'm so sorry. I got those two mixed up.
Speaker 2: Forgive me sat It's okay, okay.
Speaker 3: Yes, So there was an incredible Swift who's like, can
Speaker 3: I ask you a question?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: Because we all, I mean literally, whenever a question comes
Speaker 1: up on subreddit where it's like, if you got to
Speaker 1: ask Taylor Swift one question, what would be I'm always like,
Speaker 1: what does question mean?
Speaker 2: That's always gonna be?
Speaker 1: My question to her is like when I beco friends
Speaker 1: with her, I'm gonna be girl. Let's talk about question.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the one in question or inter related, like
Speaker 3: there's a breakdown of how if one thing had been different,
Speaker 3: would everything be different? And the expansion of that lyric
Speaker 3: from one is all of question, like okay, uh question?
Speaker 1: Yeah, has anyone ever kissed you in a crowded room
Speaker 1: and all of your friends were making fun of you?
Speaker 1: And fifteen seconds later they were laughing to then what
Speaker 1: would you do? Okay? I thought question was about Harry styles.
Speaker 1: Do you know why, because in the beginning of the
Speaker 1: song goes I Remember, and it's about I mean, that's
Speaker 1: a callback to Out of the Woods, which we all
Speaker 1: know is about Harry. So at the very end he
Speaker 1: goes I Remember, and so I was like, Okay, that's
Speaker 1: definitely why would she put that in there? So there's
Speaker 1: a lot of that going on. Here's the thing about Taylor.
Speaker 1: It's like, until I become friends with her, I won't
Speaker 1: have these answers. Ever, we will never know concretely what
Speaker 1: is really going on, because there are there are songs.
Speaker 1: Let me talk about love of my Life first a second.
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll get into it, but there I don't
Speaker 1: know who that's about, because that has both Maddie, that
Speaker 1: has everyone in it, you know, like you can't really
Speaker 1: pin it down. So she's she's she's being vague enough,
Speaker 1: but then and then you get to thank you Amy,
Speaker 1: and you're like, well, this is very clear. So there's
Speaker 1: times where she's like so vague and other times are
Speaker 1: she's spot on. Okay, So before we get into it,
Speaker 1: which I obviously we're well in, but before we get
Speaker 1: back to the track we got through last week fresh
Speaker 1: out of the slammer, now, I just want to go
Speaker 1: back one second and say that I realized an amazing thing.
Speaker 1: And but Daddy, I love him. That, Like it's it's
Speaker 1: definitely about Maddie. And it's another one of these like, oh,
Speaker 1: she uses a music sample that sounds like the guy
Speaker 1: she's talking about. She did it and dear John with
Speaker 1: like the kind of like whiny like guitar bern now
Speaker 1: you know, and we're like, oh my god, that's a
Speaker 1: John Mayer guitar. And so she does that. So but Daddy,
Speaker 1: I love him. There's some drums at the very end
Speaker 1: that I want to play, and then we're gonna hear
Speaker 1: those drums somewhere else. Now I'm gonna play these drums.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna play longer than fifteen seconds, so we
Speaker 1: don't get copyright. Oh wait, no, I'm sorry. It's my
Speaker 1: boy only breaks his favorite toys. Sorry about that, you guys.
Speaker 1: And if anyone thinks this is about Joe, you're wrong.
Speaker 1: Not that you would. Okay, sorry, keeping it one second
Speaker 1: here it comes. Listen to the drums, okay. Now, listen
Speaker 1: to the drums on the song the City, which is
Speaker 1: the song that she played and I got very much
Speaker 1: into because she played.
Speaker 2: Them at.
Speaker 1: It is the same drum. It is the same drum
Speaker 1: in the city. Let me play it her by boilin
Speaker 1: Brigs's favorite toys again. Now that that drum.
Speaker 2: Okay, one more time. The City. It's the same fucking drum,
Speaker 2: you guys.
Speaker 1: So that The City is the song that she played
Speaker 1: in January of twenty twenty three at the seventy five show.
Speaker 1: It is also a song that she was singing to
Speaker 1: in a video from like twenty fourteen when she went
Speaker 1: to one of their concerts, like she loves that song.
Speaker 1: I thought maybe it was probably like back when she
Speaker 1: went to his concert in January of last year when
Speaker 1: Joe and her were still together. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: I kind of knew things something was because I just
Speaker 1: I knew that she had like talked to him before,
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, we got this Midnight's album. I
Speaker 1: was feeling like Joe was not like I think that
Speaker 1: there were some little clues that things with Joe weren't good.
Speaker 1: The Bejeweled line all of a sudden made sense about
Speaker 1: like a band, even though that album came out before
Speaker 1: she went to go see them, And then I knew
Speaker 1: she was like just them hanging out and I was
Speaker 1: just and so I remember getting into the city and
Speaker 1: being like, is this about her?
Speaker 2: Like is she singing?
Speaker 1: Because how bad ass would it be if you if
Speaker 1: a guy ten years ago wrote a song about you
Speaker 1: and then ten years later when you're in another relationship
Speaker 1: and you're just friends or whatever, Because that's what I
Speaker 1: kind of thought it was going on. But I thought
Speaker 1: maybe she is the who knows. I go, how badass
Speaker 1: would it be to walk out on stage get a
Speaker 1: bigger response than even the person that they're there to see.
Speaker 1: Then you play there the song that he wrote about you,
Speaker 1: And I gotta say I like her version that she
Speaker 1: does acoustically. If you guys haven't heard it, you're missing
Speaker 1: out so much.
Speaker 2: Her version.
Speaker 1: It's one of my favorite songs out. I love their version,
Speaker 1: but I think I like hers more, maybe because I
Speaker 1: heard it first, but I just love her acoustic version
Speaker 1: of it. And so that is a huge hidden piece
Speaker 1: that I wanted to reveal that I don't think I've
Speaker 1: seen any tiktoks about or anything. So that was I
Speaker 1: wanted to go back and do that before war. And
Speaker 1: then I wanted to also say I'm okay, so I'm
Speaker 1: really into.
Speaker 2: Okay. No, we'll get into that later. Let's pick back.
Speaker 1: Is there anything you want to say about the tracks
Speaker 1: that we've all been over?
Speaker 4: Even though my.
Speaker 1: Boilely breaks his favorite toys? Can I ask you why
Speaker 1: that is in your bottom?
Speaker 4: It's not in my bottom?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 4: Wasn't it? No? I love that song?
Speaker 2: Okay good, okay good.
Speaker 1: And by the way, even if songs are in your
Speaker 1: our bottoms, we don't not like them, like that's the
Speaker 1: thing about Taylor Swift rankings like feel sad when you
Speaker 1: see a song its number. He was my other friend Brenna,
Speaker 1: my friend Brenna who is also for those of you.
Speaker 2: You know Brenna if you're listening to the podcast regularly.
Speaker 1: Andrew's fiance Brenna is also a major swiftye and her
Speaker 1: she is my boilely breaks his favorite toys at the
Speaker 1: bottom and she and her my bottoms are on her top.
Speaker 1: And that was so fascinating to us as we were
Speaker 1: talking about yesterday. Hey, Swifty besties, I'm back again. Here
Speaker 1: comes another commercial break, but we'll be back after it.
Speaker 1: Don't you even worry about it. Okay, let's pick back up.
Speaker 1: We are starting with.
Speaker 2: Florida.
Speaker 4: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Any exclamation points? Okay, featuring Florence and the Machine. Now
Speaker 1: Florence and the Machine. Does that mean it's featuring the
Speaker 1: whole band? Because I thought it was just featuring Florence.
Speaker 1: But I guess the whole band is there? Or is
Speaker 1: that what she goes by?
Speaker 4: Maybe that's what she's going by.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I thought her name was Florence Welch, but
Speaker 1: I guess that's what she goes by.
Speaker 2: Nor what are your feelings on this track?
Speaker 4: I mean, I love Florida.
Speaker 3: I'm obsessed with the production, with the lyrics, with with
Speaker 3: Florence on it. It is one of my faves. It's
Speaker 3: in my top five. I love Florida.
Speaker 1: Really Okay, it's definitely a bottom five. It is definitely
Speaker 1: maybe it's it. It goes number thirty one on my rankings.
Speaker 1: I have to say, I don't know what's wrong with me.
Speaker 1: I was on a swifty subreddit and not one of
Speaker 1: the bad ones. Let me just say swifty subreddit, I'm
Speaker 1: I do. I no longer participate in, definitely no longer
Speaker 1: participate in one that starts with a G, and I
Speaker 1: definitely no longer participate in the one that's swifty neutral,
Speaker 1: which is like people that are like, you know what,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna like just be sick of fans about her.
Speaker 1: We're actually gonna it is the most negative space. They
Speaker 1: are all obsessed with her, but they can't admit it
Speaker 1: to themselves and so and they're almost embarrassed that they're
Speaker 1: obsessed with her, so they have to take her down.
Speaker 1: But it's like that is an obsession in and of itself,
Speaker 1: and they just like to make fun of us. They
Speaker 1: like they're just it's the most And I used to
Speaker 1: just dabble in it just to see what people were
Speaker 1: up to that were on the other side of what
Speaker 1: I am like, you know, just be open to the
Speaker 1: you know, the don't closure or bipartisanship, like open your
Speaker 1: mind to their side so you can empathize with them
Speaker 1: even though you'll never agree. And I just I got
Speaker 1: out of it. I started, I got I'm unsubscribed because
Speaker 1: it was so negative, because it just is whether or
Speaker 1: not you agree with them. Just following a subreddit that
Speaker 1: only talks shit, which is so many subreddits, is bad
Speaker 1: for your health. And if you're a regular listening to
Speaker 1: the podcast, you know that I'm trying to avoid just
Speaker 1: like criticism and shit talking in any way, even though
Speaker 1: it's one of my favorite things to do. But they
Speaker 1: then read it just like starts like showing you posts
Speaker 1: from it, being like you might like this, and I
Speaker 1: muted them because I just want out of that. I
Speaker 1: just don't want any more negativity. But I did find
Speaker 1: something within the There's True Swifties, which are mega mega Swifties,
Speaker 1: and then there's the Tailor Swift subredd But if you
Speaker 1: want to if you want like nothing but gushy love
Speaker 1: all the time, True Swifties is a good one. But
Speaker 1: in Taylor Swift someone was talking about the album and
Speaker 1: they said Florida made them feel nauseous, and I think
Speaker 1: it does that to me too, but I think it's
Speaker 1: meant to because it's like it's like and Florida is.
Speaker 1: It's like the way she described this song is like
Speaker 1: that's where you go to like get away from the
Speaker 1: law after you've done something bad, and there's your bearing
Speaker 1: things and there's just it just it just makes me
Speaker 1: feel kind of I feel uneasy, even though I do
Speaker 1: recognize that it is.
Speaker 2: I mean, immediately when I saw the title, I'm like.
Speaker 1: Florida, like it's so catchy. I don't tend to like
Speaker 1: her like getting together with people and singing. I just
Speaker 1: like want her to sing the whole thing. If I think,
Speaker 1: and I love Florence in the Machine, I really am
Speaker 1: a fan, but I it's like two positives to make
Speaker 1: a negative to me. I just want Taylor when I
Speaker 1: want Taylor, and if she sang this whole song, I
Speaker 1: bet it would not be thirty one for me. But
Speaker 1: that but Florence only makes Florence's voice is amazing on it.
Speaker 1: It's so ghostly and kind of fits the vibe of it.
Speaker 1: Like I have no complaints. I don't know why, but
Speaker 1: it's just not my song yet. What is your favorite
Speaker 1: parts about it?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 3: When I first listened to the it's the one song
Speaker 3: I kept playing on repeat. Oh yeah, I think it's everything.
Speaker 4: Really like.
Speaker 3: Her, the lyrics, the instrumentation, the drums with the pump up.
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean there's references. I like how this it's
Speaker 1: cross reference. I mean we hear about Florida first in
Speaker 1: Fortnite and then yeah, I don't know if Florida comes
Speaker 1: up again, but there's we all thought that Florida. This
Speaker 1: track was gonna be about her breakup with Joe that happened,
Speaker 1: probably in Florida, because she was in Florida when we
Speaker 1: all kind of thought it happened. Yes, does Maddie represent Florida?
Speaker 2: Is that who Maddie is? Where you go after you.
Speaker 1: To get away from something, to escape pain, to escape
Speaker 1: some like is he Florida?
Speaker 3: I like that analogy. I can see that, Like what's
Speaker 3: your obsession with Florida?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: Why what is she trying to tell us in this?
Speaker 1: I think trying to tell dolls there? Yeah, well, yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Really love the lines that both her and Florence have
Speaker 3: where little did you know your hometown's only a place
Speaker 3: you're just a guest in, and then a Florence line,
Speaker 3: little did you know your hometown's only the place you'll
Speaker 3: get arrested?
Speaker 4: So I kind of like.
Speaker 3: That, Yeah, that, like where you live is actually what
Speaker 3: you think is permanent is only it's going to feel
Speaker 3: temporary when you, you know, make this big decision and decide
Speaker 3: that you have to go down to Florida. So maybe
Speaker 3: that's what it is like with Maddie, Like, yeah, I'm
Speaker 3: he's my Florida, this six year relationship that I've had,
Speaker 3: I'm only a guest in it.
Speaker 1: Oh fuck, Okay, can I just say my favorite lyric?
Speaker 1: I think I'm coming around on this song, oh way,
Speaker 1: Because I'm looking at the lyrics, I'm like, wait a second,
Speaker 1: I think I love the song all of the bodies
Speaker 1: that have ever been on my body like that is
Speaker 1: I know that part. People might make fun of that
Speaker 1: lyric and be like, Okay, you're just saying body a lot,
Speaker 1: But like, if you were gonna make fun of that,
Speaker 1: you should make fun of to the left, to the left,
Speaker 1: everything you own in a box to the left, Like
Speaker 1: you're allowed to say words a lot, yes, and.
Speaker 2: But that one is so funny.
Speaker 1: All of the bodies that have been on my body,
Speaker 1: like I want I want to hear Taylor saying that
Speaker 1: so badly. Even though it's a Florin's line and it's
Speaker 1: one hell of a drug. I love that it's one
Speaker 1: hell of a drug. Like, I like how it opens
Speaker 1: up at the end really big. Okay, I'm I'm a
Speaker 1: Florida stand now.
Speaker 2: It's yeah, top five.
Speaker 1: I really do like it, oh, because I know what
Speaker 1: this is what I do. Like, I'm open to being
Speaker 1: like I don't like things and then I look at
Speaker 1: them and I go, why why don't you like it?
Speaker 1: And then I really don't have any evidence to back
Speaker 1: it up. So I like Florida.
Speaker 2: I'm back in.
Speaker 1: We're going to get to my my number thirty one song,
Speaker 1: my new number thirty one song in a second, but
Speaker 1: not yet, because we're moving on to Guilty as Sin,
Speaker 1: which is.
Speaker 2: What I think it ranked pretty high up there.
Speaker 1: For me, it's so funny because you'll be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I think that's my top that's my number two songs,
Speaker 1: and then you go, oh shit, I have a lot
Speaker 1: of songs that are favorites, which is that's what this
Speaker 1: album is about. So for me, Wow, it doesn't even
Speaker 1: rank in top ten for me, and it's one of
Speaker 1: my favorites.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at my top ten list. I don't, I god,
Speaker 2: where is it for me? Where?
Speaker 1: Oh it's number eleven. Okay, so it's it's nearly there.
Speaker 1: But that's that seems crazy. I think my ranking's fucked
Speaker 1: up because Guilty a Sin is so good. I listened
Speaker 1: to it Saturday night. I had a claw Foot bathsub
Speaker 1: in my really nice I guess was Sunday night. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Sunday night at claw Foot bathsub in my hotel room
Speaker 1: in Omaha, And after my oh, Maha, I drew a
Speaker 1: bath and I like put on Guilty of Sin and
Speaker 1: I like pretended I was her in a relationship and
Speaker 1: like dreaming about a boy, and like I did not masturbate,
Speaker 1: but this is the song to do that too, because
Speaker 1: it's so funny. I was telling Anya about this song,
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, you know, she wrote a
Speaker 1: song about masturbating to someone else when you're in a
Speaker 1: relationship and feeling bad about it, or not feeling bad
Speaker 1: about it, but yeah, feeling guilty of sin.
Speaker 2: And Antia goes.
Speaker 1: Do you think other people like look into these songs
Speaker 1: as much as you do, and I go, no, this
Speaker 1: is not me just like putting a spin on it.
Speaker 2: This is this is very clear.
Speaker 1: I mean, I will say when I did the first
Speaker 1: live listen to this album the night it came out,
Speaker 1: I remember people in the chat being like, Guilty of
Speaker 1: Sin is about her masturbating, and I instantly went to it.
Speaker 2: I was like, I can't.
Speaker 1: I don't think I think it was coming up next,
Speaker 1: but I was like that was like, I want to
Speaker 1: get to it now. I didn't skip to get to
Speaker 1: it because I want to listen in order, but I
Speaker 1: wanted to immediately because I mean, what what a subject.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is I remember when Britney Spears wrote
Speaker 1: a song about masturbating and it was wild, and now
Speaker 1: we got Taylor Swift for writing one and because that's what
Speaker 1: it is, right nor.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I just you're so funny. I just thought of
Speaker 3: the Brittany one, like, uh uh, I wanna go. So
Speaker 3: this one's like that one's.
Speaker 1: W that's not even the one. The Touch of My
Speaker 1: Hand is the name of the song. Oh and it
Speaker 1: is legit about her master.
Speaker 2: It's called the Touch. I think it's called the Touch
Speaker 2: of My Hand.
Speaker 1: But I'm sure she is a lot, but that came
Speaker 1: out kind of like I think, probably earlier than uh uh,
Speaker 1: I want to go go But touch on my hand
Speaker 1: was like I was in high school and I was like,
Speaker 1: or maybe early college, like whoa, I think it was
Speaker 1: early college, being like, man, this girl's talking about masturbation,
Speaker 1: like I don't even know how to do that yet,
Speaker 1: And I think it was the first time I got
Speaker 1: kind of curious into it. But Guilty of Sin Drowning
Speaker 1: in the Blue Nile, which is a album from or Sorry,
Speaker 1: is a band who has a song called Downtown Lights.
Speaker 1: So she's drowning in the Blue House. She's already listening
Speaker 1: to it. He sent me Downtown Lots. I hadn't heard
Speaker 1: it in a while. My boredom's bone deep, so she's
Speaker 1: bored in a relationship. This cage, we're talking about cages,
Speaker 1: which we heard about in but Daddy, I love him.
Speaker 1: This cage was what's just fine? Am I allowed to cry?
Speaker 1: By the way, I can't even believe am I allowed
Speaker 1: to cry? I wrote a song that is coming out
Speaker 1: May eighth, I think called some and You'll Die, And
Speaker 1: I have a song about crying in the bathtub, and
Speaker 1: I struggled for so long to come up with the
Speaker 1: perfect lyric for it, because it was about like trying
Speaker 1: to cry but not being able to kind of thing
Speaker 1: and fucking Taylor Swift nails. That's the what I was
Speaker 1: trying to do, is like, am I like I she
Speaker 1: was able to? Because I ended up just using the
Speaker 1: lyric like why can't I cry?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: But that was the same thing of like why why
Speaker 1: can't I cry? But she answers my question, I can't
Speaker 1: cry because I don't know if I'm allowed to? And
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, is that's twenty years of songwriting ahead
Speaker 1: of me? Like her a like twenty years ago she
Speaker 1: might have written my version, which.
Speaker 2: Was can't I can't cry? Simple?
Speaker 1: I like, like just it's fine, it's fine. But that
Speaker 1: was that's the poetic mastery that she's achieved, Like as
Speaker 1: someone who is trying to convey the same image she
Speaker 1: conveyed it, that is so much more.
Speaker 2: Interesting to me. Am I allowed to?
Speaker 3: Then?
Speaker 2: Why can't I cry?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 2: Like I think why can't I Cry? Is debut? And
Speaker 2: am I allowed to cry? As Torchure poets?
Speaker 1: That just shows like her elevation and songwriting, which is fine.
Speaker 1: I am debut, like I just started playing music, like
Speaker 1: I'm even less than debut. I'm like her like little CD.
Speaker 1: She used to bring them out into radio stations before debut,
Speaker 1: like that's where I'm at in my journey, not even there.
Speaker 2: She wrote way more. I'm like her.
Speaker 1: When she was twelve and got a she probably write
Speaker 1: three songs before four PM when she got her first
Speaker 1: guitar for Christmas. Have you ever seen that video where
Speaker 1: she gets the guitar for Christmas?
Speaker 4: Yesh, so cute, happy, she says that she's so cute.
Speaker 4: I love it.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm dreaming of cracking locks. Okay, we see that
Speaker 1: imagery in the music video for Fortnite, throwing my life
Speaker 1: to the wolves or the ocean rocks. Okay, we heard
Speaker 1: about ocean rocks in uh the Rebecca wrote up on
Speaker 1: them where she's like, oh yeah, tossing herself onto the
Speaker 1: pacing the rocks and the men. And then she's and
Speaker 1: also in My Tears Ricochet falling like you know, she's
Speaker 1: she's jumping off of very tall somethings in a lot
Speaker 1: of songs, crashing into him tonight. He's a paradox. I'm
Speaker 1: seeing visions, am I bad or mad or wise? And
Speaker 1: then what if he's written mine on my upper side
Speaker 1: only in my mind? I mean that is, I would
Speaker 1: have dropped my mic if it didn't cost a lot.
Speaker 1: I can't even handle this lyric.
Speaker 3: It's so hot and the melody of it, the melody
Speaker 3: so interesting.
Speaker 2: God, what if he's.
Speaker 4: Written man on my upper thigh only ma ma?
Speaker 1: And then my favorite part, want slip and down the
Speaker 1: fu like that. Dun't dunt duntd That is so interesting
Speaker 1: and I cannot get There's a video of post Malone
Speaker 1: dancing that someone put to this song.
Speaker 2: And every time I hear want slip and fallen.
Speaker 1: Back into the hedge maze, I always picture him going
Speaker 1: damn dump and dancing. That is. I want to dance
Speaker 1: to this song so badly. I can't not wait to
Speaker 1: go to a Swifty single long. I cannot wait to
Speaker 1: go to aristour and maybe she plays this, but I
Speaker 1: doubt we'll get this one. Yeah, but who knows. I
Speaker 1: keep recalling things we never did. I mean, who can't
Speaker 1: relate to that where you're like, this is Limerens, dude.
Speaker 1: I've been talking about Limerens on the podcast so much.
Speaker 1: She is a limberhead just like me, Just like you
Speaker 1: probably where you have fantasies about someone and you go
Speaker 1: so far in your head that it becomes better than
Speaker 1: anything it could ever be between you two, like you
Speaker 1: closing your eyes at night to go to sleep, you
Speaker 1: on a plane. My friend Taylor has limerens too.
Speaker 2: She does it.
Speaker 1: It's like a drug that people do where they just
Speaker 1: fantasize and you don't jack off to it, but it's
Speaker 1: like you're just in your You're just it feels buzzy
Speaker 1: and warm. I think it's really bad for you.
Speaker 3: It's a coping mechanism, right, Like, Yeah, I used to
Speaker 3: daydream a lot as a kid, and I used to
Speaker 3: romanticize so much when I was a teenager, especially because
Speaker 3: I never had an experience, so I would just like
Speaker 3: like build it up in my mind or do things
Speaker 3: that I wanted without having to actually like be vulnerable
Speaker 3: in real life.
Speaker 1: Right, whatever made you do stand up comedy? Like what
Speaker 1: made you stop fantasizing about that? Because I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people have fantasies of doing something like being
Speaker 1: famous or like and you actually went and pursued it,
Speaker 1: like because I wasn't really a daydreamy kid I was.
Speaker 1: I've actually really didn't like daydreaming until recently because and
Speaker 1: I still only daydream about things that I think I
Speaker 1: can actually achieve. It's never something that it is unachievable. Ever, ever, ever, ever,
Speaker 1: I would never fantasize. Now in my life, I have
Speaker 1: kind of access to famous people, So if I was
Speaker 1: a daydream about Brad Pitt, I'm like, well, maybe that
Speaker 1: could actually happen. But when I was in middle school,
Speaker 1: I was not daydreaming about you know, right or Strong
Speaker 1: because I'm like, I have no access to him. So
Speaker 1: I daydream about maybe someone in my class that I
Speaker 1: but even in my class, I was like, I'm such
Speaker 1: a dork. I don't have a chance with that person.
Speaker 1: It would only I would only allow it if I
Speaker 1: could actually make it happen.
Speaker 4: Wow, So what made you.
Speaker 2: Be able to do stand up comedy? Because I'm guessing
Speaker 2: that's something you day dreamed about.
Speaker 3: Yes, I daydreamed about everything I wanted, I think because
Speaker 3: what made me want to do stand up is I
Speaker 3: just was obsessed with it, Nikki, Like, I didn't know
Speaker 3: it was an art.
Speaker 4: Form until I was in my obsessed shut up.
Speaker 1: I'm just like, of course, of course when you were obsessed,
Speaker 1: like we are obsesses. Yeah, yeah, but you were obsessed
Speaker 1: with it before you did it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I didn't know it was an art form
Speaker 3: until I got to undergrad. It in my dorm room,
Speaker 3: my dormmate was like, do you here, let's watch some
Speaker 3: stand up. I didn't know you could just talk into
Speaker 3: a mic and tell jokes like Jordither.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, so you really didn't know. Okay, you grew
Speaker 2: up here until when.
Speaker 1: High school, so like, okay, comedy really didn't.
Speaker 3: Know was sit coms, sitcoms and comedy movies like Steve Martin,
Speaker 3: you know, yeah, prety sure, like mad about you, fresh parents.
Speaker 1: You and you're friends with Marty I like they called Marty.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would.
Speaker 3: I would die if I met Martin. It's incredible.
Speaker 2: I cried before I get though.
Speaker 1: I have this thing where when I meet famous people,
Speaker 1: I black out and where I met them because it's
Speaker 1: just too much for my brain. It's very bizarre, it's happened.
Speaker 1: It's happened so frequently that it's just it is of note,
Speaker 1: like there's something wrong with me that people that I'm
Speaker 1: really admiring of because I know I've met him no,
Speaker 1: you know what, Chris met him. Chris did Beauty and
Speaker 1: the Beast live and he played Loumire and he was
Speaker 1: in a meeting with him and David Allen Greer and
Speaker 1: it came out that he was my boyfriend and they
Speaker 1: were both huge fans. And he came home to tell
Speaker 1: me Martin Short knew who I was, and I was
Speaker 1: just like, and I met Martin Short another time. I
Speaker 1: just shook his hand really briefly. They were like doing
Speaker 1: a sound check at the Beacon Theater for their show,
Speaker 1: and Amy Schumer was friends with them, so we went
Speaker 1: and just watched from the audience, and I think we
Speaker 1: may have like shook their hand, but but anyway, that's
Speaker 1: that's really that's the same way I felt about stand up.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that it was.
Speaker 1: I mean, I knew about it because I grew up
Speaker 1: and I saw it on TV and stuff. And I
Speaker 1: have really a lot of intense memories of my dad
Speaker 1: laughing at Wendy Leeman a joke she did.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I love Wendy Leeman so much.
Speaker 1: Me too, Like, and she's still cranking out amazing jokes
Speaker 1: on Instagram, Like she's one of the best joke writers
Speaker 1: like her joke that is so subtle that you can
Speaker 1: roll your eyes at and be like, well, that's not
Speaker 1: that simple, or that's not that hard.
Speaker 2: It is hard.
Speaker 1: She perfected what I do so much now, which is
Speaker 1: just throw in one word at the very end and
Speaker 1: it changes the whole meaning of the joke. I don't
Speaker 1: know if she was the first to do it, but
Speaker 1: she's the first that popularized it. I believe her and
Speaker 1: Kevin Neelan and a little bit of David Spade on
Speaker 1: on you know SNL like I I saw the I
Speaker 1: saw the Body God this weekend and I want my
Speaker 1: money back or you know. But even like that's not
Speaker 1: even the perfect example. But her joke that my dad
Speaker 1: laughed at was you guys, I just quit smoking crack
Speaker 1: and she just said it like, you know, just that
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, it's like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: this will that little line. I just she's just amazing.
Speaker 1: I met my husband online.
Speaker 2: At the grocery store. You're like just adding those little things.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, she's a kind off stage like I got
Speaker 3: and it meant so much to me, and she was
Speaker 3: so kind, like, yeah, I will never.
Speaker 1: Every female comic who is truly great is really well, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm taking it.
Speaker 2: I just was like, just like I actually do really
Speaker 2: love some people that are totally not nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah okay, but okay, so back, And I want to
Speaker 1: say that actually Taylor Swift does the same thing that
Speaker 1: Wendy Lehman does a lot of, like just changing something
Speaker 1: at the very end, uh, loss of my Life. I
Speaker 1: think we all got hit over the head for that,
Speaker 1: Like we all thought it was love of my Life
Speaker 1: and then she switched it at the end and like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, through you know, but Daddy, I love him.
Speaker 1: No I'm not, you know, like that's not exactly it.
Speaker 1: But just leading us somewhere and then pulling us back
Speaker 1: is a really great device that she has used a
Speaker 1: lot in this album. But this song can I just
Speaker 1: interpret because some besties wrote to me being like, we
Speaker 1: need to hear your thoughts and guilty of said, I
Speaker 1: am so obsessed with this song.
Speaker 2: It is so hot, is so sexy.
Speaker 1: All of these memes that are like Taylor Swift's written
Speaker 1: a thousand, eleven hundred songs about boys breaking up with her,
Speaker 1: but none about giving blowjobs.
Speaker 2: Maybe is there a problem?
Speaker 1: Like people send me that one all the time because
Speaker 1: it's like it's one of the dumbest things that has
Speaker 1: ever been written. It's funny, I guess, like I you know,
Speaker 1: like if you it's the joke is she's getting broken
Speaker 1: up with because she doesn't give blowjobs, But like, who
Speaker 1: writes songs about blowjobs? Like besides my MILKSHAKEE brings all
Speaker 1: the boy Like is that even a blowjob joke? I
Speaker 1: don't know, but but it's the dumbest meme. But I
Speaker 1: will say Taylor Swift is very sexual and you can
Speaker 1: post all of her awkward dancing you want and say, oh,
Speaker 1: this girl doesn't have sex appeal. She one hundred percent
Speaker 1: does you have no idea?
Speaker 2: In this song?
Speaker 1: She's into some of the same stuff I think I'm into,
Speaker 1: And obviously I'm projecting and I want her to be
Speaker 1: just like me, and I want to be just like her,
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna find any way I can. So just
Speaker 1: know that I know that, guys, But what if he's
Speaker 1: written mine on my upper thigh? That is some bead
Speaker 1: sm stuff. And I'm not saying that she's into that.
Speaker 1: I'm not making any I'm just saying as someone who
Speaker 1: is into that stuff, who does like to be the
Speaker 1: sub and who does like people to like own me
Speaker 1: and be like you're gonna do this writing mine on
Speaker 1: someone's upper thigh, which is a very sexy area. It's
Speaker 1: like pretty much your vagina.
Speaker 2: Is so hot.
Speaker 1: And writing on someone, I mean that is something I
Speaker 1: only really see in pornography when they write on women
Speaker 1: and write things and it's just hot.
Speaker 2: It's ownership.
Speaker 1: It's like it's it's that subdom kind of Vie And and.
Speaker 2: Her song mine is you know, like I thought about
Speaker 2: that too.
Speaker 1: Oh, like it's reframing that a little bit.
Speaker 2: Like and she writes on herself all the time.
Speaker 1: We know that she's always written lyrics on her arms,
Speaker 1: she writes thirteen on her hands, Like this isn't like
Speaker 1: out of the realm for her, so like, of course,
Speaker 1: our girl is using that kind of same fun thing
Speaker 1: of like writing on yourself in a sexual way. And
Speaker 1: let me just say, what if he's only written mine
Speaker 1: on his She goes, if she didn't say he only
Speaker 1: has but what if like what does that mean to you?
Speaker 1: Like what if he's like why didn't she say, you know,
Speaker 1: he's only written mine on my upper side?
Speaker 2: Only in my mind? Or whatever?
Speaker 1: Like she could have just stated that, but she's like
Speaker 1: did it happen? And I maybe a miss Like to me,
Speaker 1: it sounds like did this only happen in my mind?
Speaker 2: Or did this happen?
Speaker 1: Could this have happened? Did it happen? Maybe? Like you know,
Speaker 1: she's imagining things they never did. So it's not saying
Speaker 1: that it's one of those things it could have been.
Speaker 1: I just don't know. What do you think, Nore?
Speaker 4: I agree with you.
Speaker 3: I think it's like in her, in her head, she
Speaker 3: wants it, she's fantasizing about it, and she's saying it.
Speaker 3: And anyone who's like, why doesn't she write songs about blowjobs? Like,
Speaker 3: first of all, this is an artist putting art out there.
Speaker 3: She does not need to do anything for you. All
Speaker 3: she needs to do is create art that comes out
Speaker 3: of her. That is her only job, whether you like
Speaker 3: it or not. It is not up for criticism or
Speaker 3: you know, when when I write a joke or I
Speaker 3: write an hour, I don't have like I work.
Speaker 4: I typically work clean.
Speaker 3: It's not a constructive criticism in any way to be like, well,
Speaker 3: why don't you write about that? Like the comedy that
Speaker 3: comes out of me, the music that comes.
Speaker 4: Out of her is her art.
Speaker 3: We don't get to judge it like that. We don't
Speaker 3: get to say you didn't do this, didn't do that.
Speaker 1: That's interesting because I definitely give her that. Like when
Speaker 1: I listen to her, I'm never like she owes me anything.
Speaker 1: Don't ever feel like and I've been really adamant about that.
Speaker 1: She literally owes us nothing. She could put out of,
Speaker 1: you know, a album of whale sounds, and we would
Speaker 1: all be like, okay, well not for me, but like
Speaker 1: you know, she could do the hundred three thousand things
Speaker 1: of like putting out a flute album, and it's like,
Speaker 1: maybe not for us, but it's what she wanted to do.
Speaker 1: Then fuck it, like no complaints and you can just
Speaker 1: say it's not for you, but she's allowed to do
Speaker 1: whatever she wants. Yea, I will say, don't allow myself
Speaker 1: that same grace. I feel like a lot of times
Speaker 1: and and it isn't It isn't nice to do yourself
Speaker 1: as an artist of being like I need to be
Speaker 1: more like this person. Man, I should have written a
Speaker 1: joke like that, like you know, I used to hear
Speaker 1: like Nikki, you only told a little bit of the joke.
Speaker 1: We want to hear more and there's something to that,
Speaker 1: but I always feel this pressure. Like this weekend, I
Speaker 1: was performing in Saint Louis, and I know based on
Speaker 1: you know, every indication. I get that when you go
Speaker 1: to a town, if you have jokes about the town,
Speaker 1: they love them more than anything else.
Speaker 2: You'll say.
Speaker 1: That night, you can have a closer that you've worked
Speaker 1: on for ten years and you're finally debuting it in
Speaker 1: the way that people haven't heard it before, and it's
Speaker 1: so perfect and people will not remember it as much
Speaker 1: as you making a little comment about how their drivers
Speaker 1: are bad on this so and so road, and everyone's
Speaker 1: excited because this person knows. They know about that road,
Speaker 1: they know about King's Highway, Boulevard or whatever it is.
Speaker 1: And so this weekend in Saint Louis, I especially my
Speaker 1: hometown show. It's a forty five hundred seat venue, which
Speaker 1: is bigger than anything I've ever played on my own
Speaker 1: anywhere really, and it was sold out. It was incredible.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much to everyone who came. So many Swifties,
Speaker 1: there's so many Swifties. But I felt such pressure because
Speaker 1: also my dad's there. My dad is always like, why
Speaker 1: don't you ever see anything about the tone. People love that,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, because I am, I don't care. That's
Speaker 1: not the kind of comedy I do.
Speaker 2: Like, I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of like living life with blinders on when
Speaker 1: I go. When I land somewhere, I don't like look
Speaker 1: around like. It's not because I don't care, it's just
Speaker 1: the way my brain is. Like I don't really noticed
Speaker 1: differences in cities. I'm not interested in cultural differences or architecture.
Speaker 2: I'm just it's just.
Speaker 1: Not what I'm into. I'd like to go to my
Speaker 1: hotel room and sleep. And so for me to write
Speaker 1: jokes about a town, it stresses me out, even though
Speaker 1: I know it's what people want and I know, based
Speaker 1: on reading Subred and stuff O the comedians like when
Speaker 1: comedians joke about a town, it also shows agility and
Speaker 1: appliability of you being able to just come up with
Speaker 1: something on the spot. And that really stresses me out
Speaker 1: because I don't think of myself as like an improv person.
Speaker 1: But for this weekend in Saint Louis, I felt so
Speaker 1: much pressure to do Saint Louis jokes because I'm from there, Like,
Speaker 1: you don't get to excuse yourself and be like I
Speaker 1: just got into town today, Like I need jokes about
Speaker 1: Saint Louis.
Speaker 2: I don't have them.
Speaker 1: I have opinions about Saint Louis, but they're not like
Speaker 1: fully formed jokes yet. And so I decided to take
Speaker 1: the anti Hero song, which I know very well on guitar,
Speaker 1: and I pretty much just memorized her version of it
Speaker 1: that she played at the nineteen seventy five show. It's
Speaker 1: one of the it's the best acoustic. She's just incredible
Speaker 1: acoustic performances. Her guitar styling is simple, but it's not
Speaker 1: at all. It's like it's really hard to learn, like
Speaker 1: if you're a guitarist and you know your shit, Like
Speaker 1: people who don't know their shit say, like's they don't
Speaker 1: think she's a good guitarist because she uses a.
Speaker 2: Kpo or whatever it is. But her styling is just
Speaker 2: in it's off the charts.
Speaker 1: And I mean, this bitch learned guitar on a twelve
Speaker 1: string guitar because someone made fun of her and said,
Speaker 1: you can't do it twelve string, that's too much for you,
Speaker 1: and she goes, actually, I'm gonna get a twelve string
Speaker 1: and she was like fourteen years old, this is so
Speaker 1: hard to play anyway, She's incredible.
Speaker 2: I learned that version.
Speaker 1: I wrote new lyrics to ants I hear about Saint Louis,
Speaker 1: so I was able to make all and so I
Speaker 1: just was able to sing that song and get it
Speaker 1: out of the way so I don't have to mention
Speaker 1: Saint Louis.
Speaker 2: Ever again, and I can just do my act. And
Speaker 2: that was literally only the.
Speaker 1: Reason I did it was because I just obviously I
Speaker 1: like to sing and all those things. I just wanted
Speaker 1: to give the people what they wanted, right, Like I
Speaker 1: wanted to do it with.
Speaker 2: A broken heart.
Speaker 1: Not that I was broken hearted about it, but I
Speaker 1: just wanted to get that out of the way, give
Speaker 1: my dad what he wants. But Daddy, I love you.
Speaker 1: And here's the song, here's all the things about Saint Louis.
Speaker 1: And I went a little too hard, I think, because
Speaker 1: I called Saint Louis racist a lot, which it is.
Speaker 1: It's a very very racist town.
Speaker 2: I am not.
Speaker 1: I don't park take in that, and like I know
Speaker 1: most Saint Louis's don't, but you gotta admit it's weird.
Speaker 2: And then I also made fun of some high.
Speaker 1: Schools and and and just you know, I maybe went
Speaker 1: a little too hard on us, but people seem to
Speaker 1: like it. But it was me doing what I don't
Speaker 1: ever expect of Taylor, which is like, give me, give
Speaker 1: the people what they want, which obviously she does. She
Speaker 1: delivers all the time. But getting back into this song
Speaker 1: Guilty of Sin, I mean, my favorite part, I mean
Speaker 1: it's one of my favorites parts just melodically in the
Speaker 1: whole album. There's so many so I'll say this twenty times,
Speaker 1: but where she goes, uh, these fatal fantasies.
Speaker 2: Like the way she's just like in the it's kind of.
Speaker 1: Like like it's just so sexy that delivery like that
Speaker 1: is I'm not someone who knows how to talk about
Speaker 1: music theory, but there's something very interesting and different her
Speaker 1: voice in these songs, like she's really some different like
Speaker 1: she's just doing things with her voice she hasn't done before,
Speaker 1: but these fatal fantasies, and by the way, her range
Speaker 1: is out of control. I was, oh no, I was
Speaker 1: at the dentist on Friday and my mouth is open,
Speaker 1: there are instruments inside of it, and the hygienist and
Speaker 1: the dentist were talking about the woman that was in
Speaker 1: the chair before me, which is some old woman who
Speaker 1: was complaining about the music that was playing because she
Speaker 1: really likes opera music. And so my dentist was like,
Speaker 1: why didn't you just ask, you know, Alexa put on
Speaker 1: some opera music, and she was like, well, because I
Speaker 1: don't know, it could be like a kind she doesn't like,
Speaker 1: I don't know opera, so I just didn't so I
Speaker 1: just kept it playing. And then something she said something
Speaker 1: about She was like, oh, and she said that, you know,
Speaker 1: and we were talking about Taylor Swift and she was like,
Speaker 1: you know, saying like, you know, that girl can't sing,
Speaker 1: and fucking assholes, this old dumb bitch who is obviously
Speaker 1: very accomplished. She's an opera singer. The woman was like,
Speaker 1: an an opera singer or something. She thinks Taylor doesn't
Speaker 1: have range. You are so wrong. Have you not seen
Speaker 1: the tiktoks about Taylor's range? Yeah, it's insane. And not
Speaker 1: only does she have range, from what we've seen in
Speaker 1: different songs and we collected all together, she will go
Speaker 1: from very low to very high in the same song.
Speaker 1: She's her voice is so nuanced. She worked her ass
Speaker 1: off to get her voice to where it is. She
Speaker 1: already was a naturally very talented singer, as you can
Speaker 1: hear in her rendition of There's No Way to hud
Speaker 1: when she pushed my Love aside. She sings that like
Speaker 1: Sandy's song from Grease. There's like a recording of her
Speaker 1: singing when she was very young, and her.
Speaker 2: Voice is sick.
Speaker 1: Dude, it's so good. And that was before she had
Speaker 1: all this training. I mean, she probably had a little
Speaker 1: bit of training then, but after she performed at the
Speaker 1: Grammys and got panned by that guy who she wrote
Speaker 1: the song mean about, she did intense vocal training. And
Speaker 1: this girl, if you I've done I do vocal training.
Speaker 1: I know all the I look at Tiktoks constantly about singing.
Speaker 1: She has perfect tongue placement, perfect mouth opening, perfect breathwork.
Speaker 1: Like she you don't understand what doing that stuff is like.
Speaker 1: It is like you know, like you have to control
Speaker 1: so many different things and it's all mental right, like
Speaker 1: you're it's so much work. She's now at a place
Speaker 1: where she can just do it naturally, but to get
Speaker 1: herself there with so much work, I can't even do it.
Speaker 1: I'm a very hard work and I'm really struggling to
Speaker 1: do it. So she's you know, she's next level and
Speaker 1: her voice should not be fucked with. Like, no one
Speaker 1: can talk shit about her voice. You literally don't have
Speaker 1: a leg to stand on because it's incredible. And what
Speaker 1: she does in this album with her voice, the nuance
Speaker 1: and the emotion that she conveys, I don't I don't
Speaker 1: give a fuck about comparing her to Beyonce or Ariana Grande. Honestly,
Speaker 1: you can be a belter. You can have all this
Speaker 1: range and all these different slides and like all these things.
Speaker 1: It sounds great. It's so impressive. Especially looks impressive when
Speaker 1: you move your mouth around and you go and you
Speaker 1: put your hand on your ear. That's all performative. Taylor
Speaker 1: could do that too. I guarantee you Taylor can do
Speaker 1: it too. She doesn't do it because she doesn't need to.
Speaker 1: And also, those women obviously are the best singers in
Speaker 1: the world. But I find a lot more emotion in
Speaker 1: Taylor's voice than I have in their voices. And that's
Speaker 1: just my experience. People definitely feel differently, but that's the
Speaker 1: way I feel. And good singing does not mean you're
Speaker 1: just good at belting just because you're Leah Michelle doesn't
Speaker 1: like it's it's all over the place. Bob Dylan's a
Speaker 1: good singer, so shut the fuck up everyone, And I
Speaker 1: know no one listening to those things Taylor supposed to
Speaker 1: bad singer. I'm just talking into a fucking no.
Speaker 3: There was a TikTok or like an Instagram reel that
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, she's like not a and it's not
Speaker 3: even comparing her. It's like the way she sings is
Speaker 3: so emotional and makes you feel so connected, and if
Speaker 3: that's not the point of listening to music, then what
Speaker 3: is I mean?
Speaker 1: So I say this because when she had she had
Speaker 1: instruments in my mouth and she's talking to the dust
Speaker 1: and she goes she says her range isn't very good.
Speaker 2: I don't her.
Speaker 4: And I literally have to.
Speaker 1: I go, it's it actually is really really impressive range.
Speaker 2: That woman didn't know what she's going on. And they
Speaker 2: were like, are you a swifty?
Speaker 1: And I go, can you not tell by my hat
Speaker 1: and sweatshirt and earrings?
Speaker 2: And they were like and.
Speaker 1: Then the dental hygienist ended up being a major swifty.
Speaker 1: I kind of like asked her a little more questions.
Speaker 1: I'm like, bitch, what not bitch bitch lovingly because you're
Speaker 1: probably listening. But I was like, wait, why didn't you
Speaker 1: stand up to this woman because she's a client, Like
Speaker 1: you can't you can't be like, actually, she's a even
Speaker 1: though I would and I'd get fired right away. By
Speaker 1: the way, I do have torture poets merch. I got
Speaker 1: my sweatshirt, black sweatshirt, I got my I got earrings,
Speaker 1: which I'm obsessed with, their studs that say TTPD and
Speaker 1: then I got a hat and which I love as well.
Speaker 1: And let me just tell you, thank you, Taylor Swift
Speaker 1: dot com. You have stepped up the merch. This sweater
Speaker 1: on honest or this sweatshirt. I got a sweater for
Speaker 1: nor who's Canadian. It seriously got so many compliments this weekend.
Speaker 1: My boyfriend, who is like obsessed with aesthetics and obsessed
Speaker 1: with sweatshirts especially, and like the vibe of them was
Speaker 1: like he thought it was like Balenciaga. It's it's such
Speaker 1: a nice like it's and it's so nice. I'm never
Speaker 1: watching it because I just don't want it to lose.
Speaker 1: I've been just tied penning it constantly. But she really
Speaker 1: stepped up her merch. I think she read the complaints
Speaker 1: about like fading things and like, and I don't think
Speaker 1: we're paying more for it. I think she is probably
Speaker 1: taking a hit to make better, better made stuff. Because
Speaker 1: this this batch of merch was incredible and these earrings
Speaker 1: are amazing, and I'm dying to get the bracelet. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get the necklace, and I want to get the shorts.
Speaker 1: I want it all. I want it all. Did you
Speaker 1: get anything you were like on stage right when it
Speaker 1: dropped or something.
Speaker 4: I'm so sad. I was literally.
Speaker 2: Sucks, I know, right when it drops.
Speaker 4: I know, and I wasn't paying attention to my food.
Speaker 4: I was literally on stage for twenty minutes.
Speaker 3: And then there's like I don't know, like I don't know,
Speaker 3: just like sit down, watched a little bit of the
Speaker 3: comic after me.
Speaker 4: Uh, because like, as a comic, you want to.
Speaker 1: Say, this is an argument to be addicted to your
Speaker 1: phone because you're going to miss these drops and you
Speaker 1: can't you can't get anything. Yeah, you can get the
Speaker 1: bracelet in the extra large right now. I can't do that.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 3: Even there was this really incredible jacket, the black jacket.
Speaker 3: Did you see that there was this jacket that had
Speaker 3: two patches on it. You could put the patches wherever,
Speaker 3: and that was sold out too.
Speaker 1: Damn it.
Speaker 2: No, it was back to the song.
Speaker 4: Yes, uh, my.
Speaker 1: Bed sheets are ablaze. I've screamed his name. The giving
Speaker 1: into the moons? Where's the moones? Thing? Giving way to
Speaker 1: labored breath? Labor breath is orgasm like, it's just it's
Speaker 1: so good, I can't I choose you and me.
Speaker 2: Religiously, there's a lot of our religious.
Speaker 4: Stuff going on, very false Gattie right from Lover.
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, it really is.
Speaker 1: But I will say there's a lot of Catholic imagery
Speaker 1: that comes up later on. And I was like, is
Speaker 1: Joe Catholic? And he indeed is, And so I think
Speaker 1: we need to look into that a little bit. I
Speaker 1: think remember when she went to that funeral and she
Speaker 1: was like caught on a camera like on zoom like people,
Speaker 1: there's a tiny camera of her and she's resting her
Speaker 1: head on his is his uncle's funeral and his uncle
Speaker 1: was like this like kind of high up in the
Speaker 1: Catholic church. So he's Catholic. So I think there's I
Speaker 1: think there's someone should make a link to that. Hey,
Speaker 1: swifty Besties. One more commercial break, here we go. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's move on to Who's afraid of Little Old Me?
Speaker 1: Which is climbing my ranking so so much. I mean
Speaker 1: I am late to this. Everyone was on board with
Speaker 1: Who's afraid of Little Old Me from the get go.
Speaker 1: How are you feeling about it?
Speaker 3: It's in my top five for sure? Okay, yes, it's
Speaker 3: number two for me.
Speaker 2: So this is like, is it about Kim? Is it
Speaker 2: about like.
Speaker 1: The scandal was contained, the bullet had just grazed it
Speaker 1: all costs. Keep your good name. You don't get to
Speaker 1: tell me you feel bad. I mean, this is about
Speaker 1: someone in the industry. This is about her talk like
Speaker 1: her beeping from the gallows and levitating down the street,
Speaker 1: crashing the party like a record scratch as I scream
Speaker 1: Who's afraid of Little Old Meat? I mean, if you
Speaker 1: don't know that is a reference to like a witch
Speaker 1: being like Who's afraid of Little Old Me? It's like
Speaker 1: she's again being this like I'm lurch I'm a monster
Speaker 1: lurching towards your favorite city. It's like putting Taylor in
Speaker 1: this kind of like goblin esque like imagery of her
Speaker 1: being like ah and everyone's like kind of scared of her,
Speaker 1: And then I love the turn of you should be,
Speaker 1: because who's afraid of little me? Is a sarcastic thing,
Speaker 1: like who's like it's kind of saying it, like are
Speaker 1: you a scared of little old me?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 2: And then her being like you should.
Speaker 1: Be is like really creepy and really fun. And I
Speaker 1: was tame. I was gentle till the circus life made
Speaker 1: me mean. Okay, so she's admitting she is mean. She
Speaker 1: can be mean sometimes because guess what, her life is
Speaker 1: fucking crazy and no one else live or dead really
Speaker 1: can compare their lives to her. I mean maybe Michael
Speaker 1: Jackson at one point, you know, like it just there's
Speaker 1: it's just her. The circus, the industry has made her
Speaker 1: who she is. We took out all her teeth. I mean,
Speaker 1: who took out our who took out our teeth? I'm
Speaker 1: wondering what that is.
Speaker 3: Well, at first it was the record labels, who are like,
Speaker 3: you can't be political, right, you can't say anything about
Speaker 3: Polico yep. So it's like the muzzle that they put
Speaker 3: on her that she said she removed, and I remember
Speaker 3: reading on like you know that serious XM channel that
Speaker 3: she has that. This is a song about how society
Speaker 3: treats its artists, like what we do to them, we
Speaker 3: make them. We love to see them in pain because
Speaker 3: we want to see the art that they make when
Speaker 3: they are in that state.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't even know.
Speaker 1: That it's that, you know, it's probably a little bit
Speaker 1: of that, Like I don't there's there's a sick part
Speaker 1: of me that's like, oh Taylor went through this breakup,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I can't wait for the album.
Speaker 2: We all have that a little bit of that in us.
Speaker 4: It's I think it's like we just like to see.
Speaker 1: We are all so miserable. We like to see people
Speaker 1: that we think are golden and have it so perfect.
Speaker 1: We like to see them suffer too, and it makes
Speaker 1: us feel less bad about not being as successful as
Speaker 1: they are. Like I think we like we build people
Speaker 1: up because we love to look at someone who's so
Speaker 1: glamorous in who we can kind of fantasize about having
Speaker 1: their life. But ultimately we are so jealous of them.
Speaker 1: We want to take them. We just we don't want
Speaker 1: them to be happy because we're so jealous, Like why
Speaker 1: can't that be me?
Speaker 2: At least?
Speaker 1: I that kind of resonates with a really dark part
Speaker 1: of my soul. Right, but I love the bridge, so
Speaker 1: tell me everything is not about me?
Speaker 4: But what if it is?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 1: You know, I heard some complaints in some you know,
Speaker 1: I was listening to some review that was negative, and
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I even gave it a view.
Speaker 4: But.
Speaker 1: It was saying like how how Like it was kind
Speaker 1: of making fun of her for saying this, of like
Speaker 1: you're such a narcissist, like you know, but she kind
Speaker 1: of admits. First of all, she admits to being a narcissist. She's,
Speaker 1: uh my, did you hear my covert narcissism? And then
Speaker 1: she says it again in You're losing me? I would
Speaker 1: maybe me either a pathological people, please are you know,
Speaker 1: kind of like giving into those narcissist vibes of like,
Speaker 1: there's something wrong with me a little bit at this party.
Speaker 1: I'm the best thing at this party. By the way,
Speaker 1: you definitely are tailor, there's no question. But I love
Speaker 1: that line. I love it because it also hearkens my god.
Speaker 1: I love how every lyric of hers I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: it reminds me of this other one of you're on
Speaker 1: your own kid, of like you know, as search the
Speaker 1: party of better bodies and realized.
Speaker 2: My feelings aren't rare, or you know, you didn't care.
Speaker 1: But guess what when she's saying everything is not me
Speaker 1: or they said they didn't do it to hurt me,
Speaker 1: but what if they did? Everything kind of is about her,
Speaker 1: Like she's not crazy to read into things absolutely, and
Speaker 1: it gives me a little validation to read into her
Speaker 1: lyrics as much as I do, because I feel like
Speaker 1: I'm the person that's like, but what if this is
Speaker 1: about this?
Speaker 2: This isn't about Maddie, But what if it is?
Speaker 1: Like it's okay for me to actually go there too, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not And I can read all into it all day.
Speaker 1: She's kind of like giving us a little shout out here,
Speaker 1: I think, or at least empathizing with us making these
Speaker 1: wild assumptions. Yeah, and you wouldn't less an hour in
Speaker 1: the sylum that they raised me.
Speaker 4: Oh that one killed me. That line.
Speaker 3: It's like all the young female well you sent me
Speaker 3: a really great text that a friend sent you, which
Speaker 3: is like, what if this is about Olivia Rodrigo, right,
Speaker 3: And it's like all Olivia and all these other young
Speaker 3: female singers would not last an hour in the like
Speaker 3: toxic media landscape she had to come up in as
Speaker 3: a young woman.
Speaker 1: Which is so I think it's you don't know one
Speaker 1: would you know? Like yeah, And you know, first of all,
Speaker 1: a lot of women didn't didn't did come up in
Speaker 1: this and didn't make it out. I mean, like we
Speaker 1: know of Starlet's currently who are not doing well because
Speaker 1: they came up in this asylum. And so you know,
Speaker 1: Taylor is a very strong person. She's superhuman for sure,
Speaker 1: mentally physically like someone you know. Her trainer just posted
Speaker 1: about her workout and said anyone usually would do this
Speaker 1: would throw up every time, and she just doesn't, you know,
Speaker 1: like she really is. It's next level this girl. There's
Speaker 1: really nothing she can't do. I truly believe that if
Speaker 1: she wants to do, she could do anything she wants
Speaker 1: to do. I hope she never tries to stand up.
Speaker 1: I'll be so humiliated and how good she is at it,
Speaker 1: but yeah, like she I loved that. Monica Lewinsky posted
Speaker 1: a picture of the White House and wrote, you wouldn't
Speaker 1: last an hour in the asylum where they raised me
Speaker 1: under it and it's so good.
Speaker 2: That went viral.
Speaker 1: This weekend and then she goes I think this is
Speaker 1: where I was kind of thinking about Kim, because she's like,
Speaker 1: I'll sue you if you step on my lawn. Then
Speaker 1: I'm fearsome and I'm wretched and I'm wrong. Putting a
Speaker 1: cart narcotics into all of my songs like she got
Speaker 1: it kind of harkens to Thank You Amy, where it's
Speaker 1: like I wrote a thousand songs that you think are
Speaker 1: uncool and like, yeah, those things that people are.
Speaker 2: Like, why does everyone like her so much?
Speaker 4: What these like?
Speaker 2: What's what's going on?
Speaker 1: What is people really are like? Is there something going
Speaker 1: on that is more than the music? It's like, no,
Speaker 1: it's just good. Why she didn't trick us in any way? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's so insulting to think that we like Taylor Swift
Speaker 1: because she's like manipulating us or something. She is a mastermind,
Speaker 1: So I mean, fine, manipulate me all day long.
Speaker 2: It feels real good.
Speaker 3: And here's the other thing, is like going back to
Speaker 3: what you said of well, when she's going through a breakup,
Speaker 3: we all know we're gonna have a good album. It's like, well,
Speaker 3: she writes things that we're and she conveys emotions We're
Speaker 3: not gonna get anywhere else in life. We're not gonna
Speaker 3: go to a movie, we're not gonna listen to another
Speaker 3: artist describe their feelings in the same way she does.
Speaker 3: So it's just for like a breath of fresh air,
Speaker 3: and it's relatable, and it's like, finally someone sees me
Speaker 3: and sees what I'm going through and puts it in
Speaker 3: such a lovely, melodically incredible song.
Speaker 2: Yes, I love the song.
Speaker 1: It's probably gonna be one of my favorites at some point. Okay,
Speaker 1: next up, I can fix him. No, really, I can.
Speaker 1: I was not feeling this song at all to the
Speaker 1: point where I like was every time it came on
Speaker 1: it was a skip for me. It's too slow. I
Speaker 1: need things that like get my fucking heart rate going.
Speaker 1: I want to feel stressed out, I want to feel anxious.
Speaker 1: It's too slow. Then someone really talked to me about
Speaker 1: it and convinced me that I should get into it,
Speaker 1: and I am probably halfway there. But it's it's it's
Speaker 1: not it doesn't. It doesn't grip me the way that
Speaker 1: it has other people. But I mad respect on this one.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about it?
Speaker 4: I love it?
Speaker 3: I love it and I like that she's saying. It's
Speaker 3: like a reply to everyone saying, oh this guy, your
Speaker 3: dating is horrible. And when she said, but your good
Speaker 3: Lord doesn't need to lift a finger, that line is incredible, right, And.
Speaker 2: I like that, Like, can we talk about that line
Speaker 2: for second?
Speaker 4: Hmm.
Speaker 1: That tells me Taylor Swift is not religious because your
Speaker 1: good Lord, Like it's not like she I'm sure she's spiritual,
Speaker 1: but it it made me feel good that, like, because
Speaker 1: I'm not someone who talks about the good Lord and
Speaker 1: stuff like, it made me feel good that she's talking
Speaker 1: about their good Lord.
Speaker 2: It does.
Speaker 1: It's not hers because our she would maybe say our
Speaker 1: good Lord if she was buying into this like pray
Speaker 1: for me bullshit. And I believe in prayer. I believe
Speaker 1: in a higher power and stuff. But I feel like
Speaker 1: Taylor's not like into you know, organized religion, and that
Speaker 1: kind of that lyric saying your good Lord kind of
Speaker 1: made me feel that. I don't know if she intended that,
Speaker 1: but I love I love that line as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and to me, it's also like you have God
Speaker 3: on your side. Great, I don't even need God. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna do it myself, like I know, how to fix
Speaker 3: this man?
Speaker 1: Uh huh, and the narcissism coming out again, which she
Speaker 1: definitely knows what she's saying here, which is like she
Speaker 1: gets to it, No, maybe I can't, And boy does
Speaker 1: she wait to hit that tee on the cant at
Speaker 1: the very end. I've listened to it so much because
Speaker 1: it she must have. She probably did it in one take.
Speaker 1: But that is a masterful that she does. Not just no,
Speaker 1: really I can't, like she goes can't. Yeah, but it
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like she's trying to hold it. It's just perfect.
Speaker 1: But I love how she goes on a six lade
Speaker 1: tix is ow way like I love it, like you know,
Speaker 1: the western drawl she's getting into. And then I also
Speaker 1: love his hands so calloused from his pistols, softly trace
Speaker 1: his hearts on my face for that For a second
Speaker 1: he was tracing hearts with his pistol, and I was like,
Speaker 1: that is so fucking crazy, but then obviously not and
Speaker 1: then yeah, I uh, I love it.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 1: Dopamine she's talking about, which is that's uh, yeah, she's
Speaker 1: a dopem She chases dopamine too clearly.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: Let's move right along to love of my life. Lo
Speaker 1: oml is really what the title is called. I love
Speaker 1: the song so much. It's so sad, it's uh yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just it's so great. It gripped me right away.
Speaker 1: It's a slow song, but it's just so sweet. And uh,
Speaker 1: I think it's about I think it's about m I
Speaker 1: really do I think that. And people and I've seen
Speaker 1: all of these lists of like this is about Jay,
Speaker 1: this is about em And I'm like, no, like you're
Speaker 1: getting these wrong. This is this is about em because
Speaker 1: mister steel your girl, then make her cry talking rings
Speaker 1: and talking cradles. I mean, I'm sure Joe talked about
Speaker 1: that stuff with her, but something counterfeit is dead. I
Speaker 1: don't think we were getting anything about Joe being counterfeit.
Speaker 3: No, And remember how I texted you about Glitch. Glitch
Speaker 3: has the word counterfeit in it, and Glitch is about him.
Speaker 2: And Glitch is about why do we know that Glitch
Speaker 2: is about him?
Speaker 3: Again, She's like, you don't live in my part of
Speaker 3: town because he lives in London, like and you know,
Speaker 3: and then situationship I'm in or depending what's in my system.
Speaker 3: It's like there have been in a ten year long situationship,
Speaker 3: and I think there's been a glitch. We were only
Speaker 3: supposed to be friends. Now I'm fascinating myself.
Speaker 2: I found another one.
Speaker 1: What nights just so storry? And then she goes, I
Speaker 1: thought I was better safe than Starry. I'd we're getting
Speaker 1: Starry twice, both in glitch and this. Yes, I love
Speaker 1: it's just you low down boy, you stand up guy.
Speaker 1: I like that, she says, stand up. I feel like
Speaker 1: it's the same feeling I got when she said Saint Louis.
Speaker 2: I'm just like, oh.
Speaker 1: You holy ghost, you told me I'm the love of
Speaker 1: your life. Okay, when, oh my god, my favorite lyric
Speaker 1: I think I just love. My favorite melody is Santa
Speaker 1: Phile in Black and White. All those plot twists Dinah
Speaker 1: might mister steel your girl then make her cry? But
Speaker 1: then I love, oh god, where is it? Oh?
Speaker 2: Where?
Speaker 1: She says, what a bland goodbye?
Speaker 2: Woof?
Speaker 1: And we we know he ghosted her. That's what we
Speaker 1: at least we don't know this, but that's kind of
Speaker 1: what we think. A bland goodbye that makes me think
Speaker 1: of ghosting and just the bland goodbye.
Speaker 2: She's so disappointed.
Speaker 1: Her her voice is just conveys so much disappointment, and
Speaker 1: just like, what the fuckness in this song?
Speaker 2: I love it so much.
Speaker 1: I'll never leave never mind like she's coming through all
Speaker 1: the lies. It's just so good. And then let's finish
Speaker 1: this pod on. I can do it with a broken heart.
Speaker 4: Oh what a good one.
Speaker 1: This is my number one right now, the bop of
Speaker 1: the whole album. Yeah, you know, it's giving us the
Speaker 1: beats per minute that we need. And it gets chaotic
Speaker 1: at the end. It turns into like a fun house
Speaker 1: Like I'm looking at the chords to play it on
Speaker 1: the guitar and it just changes into chords you've never
Speaker 1: even like see sharp major seventh and I'm just like,
Speaker 1: I can't even like. The song gets so insane at
Speaker 1: the end. But I love this song so much. Obviously
Speaker 1: it's about performing when she was feeling sad. It's obviously
Speaker 1: something that I sensed when I went to Aristur in
Speaker 1: June and July. I even said it on my podcast.
Speaker 1: There is like evidence to prove that I definitely thought
Speaker 1: she was a little bit sad during before she met
Speaker 1: Travis and post June early June break up with Maddie,
Speaker 1: and even probably when before Mattie even though I think
Speaker 1: she jumped kind of right into Mattie after Joe. I
Speaker 1: would just guess, because I think he was kind of,
Speaker 1: you know, on deck.
Speaker 3: They were already dating. By by April eighth, when the
Speaker 3: news broke that she and Joe had broken up, she
Speaker 3: and Maddie had already been dating.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so she which is a very common thing.
Speaker 1: There's no part of me that's like, wait, what, how
Speaker 1: did you go to him so fast? Yeah, because that's
Speaker 1: what happens when relationships and you find something else. My
Speaker 1: old therapist used to say, sometimes you just need another
Speaker 1: lily pad to get you get out of the thing
Speaker 1: that otherwise you'll stay forever. Some people need it. Doesn't
Speaker 1: make you a bad person, you just need it. So
Speaker 1: if by any chance, she was talking to Maddie at
Speaker 1: the end of her relationship with Joe, usually relationships do
Speaker 1: not end until they've actually been dead for kind of
Speaker 1: like a couple months at least, So I don't fault
Speaker 1: anyone for finding people in that those months where people
Speaker 1: it's dead beforehand. I know it's not on paper a
Speaker 1: good thing to do, but I literally don't care at
Speaker 1: all when people do it. It's what they need to
Speaker 1: do to leave. It's too hard to leave someone, so like,
Speaker 1: I have no judgment if that's what happened. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that's what happened. I literally have no clue, but
Speaker 1: I will say that there was no lily Pad after
Speaker 1: Matt Maddie jumped out, and then we had about a
Speaker 1: month and a half before she I think got into
Speaker 1: it with Travis and he you know, made the friendship
Speaker 1: placelets and everything. But this song, I just love watching
Speaker 1: the lyric video for it on YouTube that she made
Speaker 1: because it's just all footage from eras and it's really
Speaker 1: well done. I recommend it. It's like a music video
Speaker 1: for it because it's not like repeating the same thing
Speaker 1: as most of her lyric videos do, and it's just
Speaker 1: all like these classics.
Speaker 3: I haven't watched that. I'm gonna watch that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not it's not like just repeating the same
Speaker 1: you know, you know, fucking grass by a Lake swaying
Speaker 1: back and forth, which I love her lyric videos, no shade,
Speaker 1: but this one has different footage the whole time.
Speaker 2: It's really fun.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean, who doesn't really, I think everyone's
Speaker 1: been like Nikki, you must relate to the song so much,
Speaker 1: And yes I do, because I perform with a broken
Speaker 1: heart a lot, and not just broken heart, just like
Speaker 1: depressed or like whatever things. But this and and this
Speaker 1: reminds me of that moment in the Katy Perry documentary
Speaker 1: where Russell Brand breaks up with her and she's about
Speaker 1: to go out to perform for sixty thousand people in Brazil,
Speaker 1: like it's like a big, big show, and she's just
Speaker 1: like crying in the wings, like under the stage, and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, she like comes up in
Speaker 1: the lights and she's got like these swirling like whipped
Speaker 1: cream on her tints, and it's just so funny. But
Speaker 1: she's like crying with this ridiculous outfit on and then
Speaker 1: she just like lights up. It is like you know,
Speaker 1: California Girls or what. And she can do it with
Speaker 1: the broken heart. So some people have put that song
Speaker 1: over that moment, which I thought was really funny. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but yeah, this is she's don't worry about her. She
Speaker 1: can She'll always be able to give us the show,
Speaker 1: you know what I would have. I just want to
Speaker 1: know if she's able to like forget about her broken
Speaker 1: heart when she's up there, Like does the adrenaline make
Speaker 1: her have a really good time, because I do believe
Speaker 1: she's having a great time, but that doesn't And as
Speaker 1: a performer myself, when I'm really depressed and going through something,
Speaker 1: I think the adrenaline will take me out of it.
Speaker 1: Especially when I'm in shoe pain. My shoes will hurt
Speaker 1: so much off stage. I walk on stage for an
Speaker 1: hour and a half, they do not hurt at all,
Speaker 1: and then the second I step into the wings, they
Speaker 1: start fucking throbbing like I have to kick them off violently.
Speaker 1: And just two minutes, two seconds before, I was like,
Speaker 1: didn't feel them at all. So you can numb out
Speaker 1: on stage and have a really good time. I wonder
Speaker 1: if she's able to do that or if she's just
Speaker 1: truly faking it the whole time.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I can't tell, that's the thing. The
Speaker 3: only times I can tell is when she does the
Speaker 3: surprise songs and then we see a bit of emotion there.
Speaker 2: Oh, and then we see it breakthrough.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like when she sang what's that song she has
Speaker 3: with Zade Malick.
Speaker 2: I was there for that song?
Speaker 1: Yes, oh yeah, that one. Yeah, we all know it.
Speaker 3: The emotion she's in the green dress and it's like
Speaker 3: she's gonna cry.
Speaker 1: So think that one was probably June or July post
Speaker 1: Matthie Poor Travis, because I was there and that was
Speaker 1: like the month I was going a ton and yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: so we're let's finish on this. I have some questions
Speaker 1: from besties that I thought we could have just address.
Speaker 1: People wanted to hit these topics. Someone said, we need
Speaker 1: you to go through every album now, Yes, we totally
Speaker 1: want to do that. Someone said, how does Taylor have
Speaker 1: this many feelings for Mattie Healy if they dated for
Speaker 1: like two months. I think we all know the answer
Speaker 1: to that. It's like, I mean, I I could write
Speaker 1: so many songs about the two week thing that I
Speaker 1: went through because it was just so heightened and it
Speaker 1: went away so fast, and it was so disruptive.
Speaker 2: It was like it's like a car crash.
Speaker 1: Car crashes happened in like zero point two five seconds,
Speaker 1: and the immense damage can be done. But and you know,
Speaker 1: we got lover out of her love for Joe, and
Speaker 1: we got a lot of good love songs. But the
Speaker 1: there's just something, you know, I think it makes sense
Speaker 1: if you've been through it. I think everyone's talked about
Speaker 1: the sad nauseum online, but of course short things are
Speaker 1: going to bring illicit more emotions than long, steady, secure things.
Speaker 3: And over so many songs, she said it was like
Speaker 3: a meteor rise, and she's felt that she's never felt
Speaker 3: that before that one thing with him, and we know
Speaker 3: that it was a ten year thing, and she kept
Speaker 3: going back to him and comparing everyone she dated, that
Speaker 3: little stint she had dating him in twenty fourteen, and
Speaker 3: I it's the same thing. It's like, we can all
Speaker 3: relate to someone who, like you, felt so many emotions
Speaker 3: with it, went over it and died quickly. But it
Speaker 3: doesn't mean that it wasn't meaningful or didn't, like you know,
Speaker 3: mean as much.
Speaker 1: Honestly, it's just and again it doesn't matter it just
Speaker 1: because it did, because it was more. It just stirred
Speaker 1: up more emotions, because that's just sometimes there's not an explanation.
Speaker 1: Because it did, I can't help my feelings. I would
Speaker 1: also say that, like, you can't help what you feel
Speaker 1: if you don't understand that yet, Like you really need
Speaker 1: to go to therapy because it helped. It took me
Speaker 1: so long to figure out that my feelings weren't wrong
Speaker 1: that you literally have. Yeah, people try to go like,
Speaker 1: why do you feel that way?
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't really care about people's opinions about my feelings anymore.
Speaker 1: If I cry, I could. I get embarrassed some times,
Speaker 1: if I cry, if I get upset, if I get
Speaker 1: angry about something, but I'm not I can't help them.
Speaker 1: I'm not choosing to be sad right now. I'm not
Speaker 1: choosing to be depressed. I'm not like, no one would
Speaker 1: choose that. So you got you gotta really understand you
Speaker 1: can't help your feelings. It's not you can't help your thoughts.
Speaker 1: There's not something you're in control of, so stop trying
Speaker 1: to analyze it and stop trying to make yourself feel
Speaker 1: bad about why you feel this. Why did I feel
Speaker 1: so strongly about this guy that was only two weeks?
Speaker 1: Because you did, and because you're not in control up there, whatever,
Speaker 1: your feelings are not in your control. If they were,
Speaker 1: we would all be a lot like more secure and
Speaker 1: steady in our lives.
Speaker 2: But they're just not.
Speaker 1: And the Taylor doesn't have control over them either. Okay,
Speaker 1: so someone said, we'll get to the prophecy. How do
Speaker 1: you think this will fit into the Aras tour and
Speaker 1: this was written. These questions were written before obviously the
Speaker 1: Easter egg came out. In her video, her reel this
Speaker 1: Weekend or on her stories, we saw a torture to
Speaker 1: poet's department, thing on like a railing. I have to say,
Speaker 1: I think she's going but Daddy, I love him, little
Speaker 1: old me, No I can do with a broken heart
Speaker 1: would be hilarious. Yes, for her to sing at Eras,
Speaker 1: but I think she might go there. And I think
Speaker 1: my boy breaks is only his toys. What songs do
Speaker 1: you think? I think she's going with kind of my
Speaker 1: top three or four?
Speaker 3: Well there was. She added four or five songs from
Speaker 3: Tortured Poets to those Apple Music playlists, so people are
Speaker 3: saying that those songs that she added could be the
Speaker 3: ones that she's playing. I think she'll play Fortnite because
Speaker 3: it's the lead single, my boy only breaks his favorite toys.
Speaker 3: I think she'll sang down bad but Daddy, I love him, and.
Speaker 4: Hold on? Was there one more I can do?
Speaker 2: It would be really fun.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, those are my prediction.
Speaker 1: Someone said so high school guilty oft in what other
Speaker 1: songs are about? Travis guilty est In is not about Travis.
Speaker 1: It's about Maddie. Yeah, I would bet everything on that.
Speaker 1: I think Alchemy is about Travis. Is there any debate
Speaker 1: about that?
Speaker 4: Nor? Not that I know. No. I think it's been.
Speaker 1: Touched down let me she says touchdown.
Speaker 2: Let's yes.
Speaker 1: And the trophy I don't know the yeah in the
Speaker 1: trophy and then the end of but Daddy, I Love
Speaker 1: Him is also about Travis.
Speaker 2: As we covered on last time's episode.
Speaker 1: Do you think we are getting a third version of
Speaker 1: this album on May third?
Speaker 2: Nor?
Speaker 3: I don't know, Nikki. I know I'm supposed to have
Speaker 3: an opinion. I'm just so scared of this woman in
Speaker 3: her mind and what she puts us through that I
Speaker 3: think something is gonna happen on Friday, May third. I
Speaker 3: just don't know what it is. What do you think?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 1: I think so because this girl knows no limits and
Speaker 1: there is we have not still gotten the acceptance part
Speaker 1: of the Stages of Grief. Someone had written that out
Speaker 1: and was like, there's no acceptance part.
Speaker 2: I think I.
Speaker 1: Can't imagine that she's written more songs. But yes, I can,
Speaker 1: of course she has.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: It just doesn't feel like all the evidence that people
Speaker 1: are presenting does not seem overt enough, and Taylor is
Speaker 1: not She's cryptic, for sure, but I think that some
Speaker 1: people read into things a little too much and she's
Speaker 1: not that cryptic, Like she's not like everyone should be
Speaker 1: able to break the codes that she's doing, and some
Speaker 1: people are going really hard. I'm like, but there's a
Speaker 1: picture of her with him, and there's three of them,
Speaker 1: so that means there's a third. I'm like, no, I
Speaker 1: just don't see that kind of stuff. So I'm hoping
Speaker 1: I'm fingers crossed that there's more because I would just
Speaker 1: love for people to be like so like more, really
Speaker 1: like people who don't like her to just be like
Speaker 1: more because they're so jealous that they could never do
Speaker 1: what she's doing, which is put out three albums like
Speaker 1: they're just everyone's so anyone who talks about her is
Speaker 1: so fucking jealous, do you think?
Speaker 2: And I like seeing people get upset.
Speaker 3: What are the chances that'll be a reputation re record
Speaker 3: on Friday?
Speaker 2: That's a good chance.
Speaker 1: Although I don't think she would like lump this at like,
Speaker 1: let's give this why would she given take away this
Speaker 1: moment from this album? It's just came out right. I
Speaker 1: want her to wait on that because I want to
Speaker 1: have fun with that. You know, it's a even though
Speaker 1: this album does really remind people of reputation a lot,
Speaker 1: and we kind of be staying with similar themes.
Speaker 2: I'm guessing, but I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just I can't take it. Someone just asked, what
Speaker 1: is the most part of the I can do it
Speaker 1: with the broken Heart? What lyric resonates with you the most?
Speaker 1: Do you feel this way too? You get depressed? You
Speaker 1: can perform with press.
Speaker 3: I'm so depressed diect like it's my birthday every day?
Speaker 2: Okay, what do you What do you think about that lyric?
Speaker 2: What does that mean to you?
Speaker 3: It means you're so it's living with depression but having
Speaker 3: to go on stage and make people laugh and live a.
Speaker 4: Life and be on social media.
Speaker 2: But what does the birthday part mean?
Speaker 1: Like, is she acting like it's a birthday to get
Speaker 1: out of depression or is she acting like it's a
Speaker 1: birthday because she has to perform and that looks like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's my birthday.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's that one right, yes exactly.
Speaker 1: That's what people I think are confused about about that. Lyric,
Speaker 1: and I want to actually say I agree with that.
Speaker 1: When you are performing, everyone's looking at you, everyone's admiring you,
Speaker 1: You're all dressed up, and it does feel like your birthday.
Speaker 1: That's why I don't like to celebrate my birthday because
Speaker 1: I get it so often. That's why I don't like.
Speaker 1: I don't want a wedding. I don't want I don't
Speaker 1: like parties that aren't like me performing because I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't deserve this. I didn't I'm not doing anything
Speaker 1: so and every night does feel like my birthday.
Speaker 2: I get so much attention.
Speaker 1: So I think that's what she's talking about when she
Speaker 1: says I act like it's my birthday.
Speaker 2: It could be her.
Speaker 1: She really likes birthdays though, so it could be her
Speaker 1: being like trying to get her out of it, like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to act like it's my birthday every day,
Speaker 1: but I think it's for me I at least relate to.
Speaker 1: I have to put on a dress and get all
Speaker 1: gussied up, the way I see girls on Instagram do
Speaker 1: only on their birthdays or special occasions when the girls
Speaker 1: are going out. I had to do that three times
Speaker 1: a week, yes, and say Hi to everyone, and like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, welcome to my party, which is a great,
Speaker 1: great thing to do, and it's so much fun because
Speaker 1: who doesn't want us to be the birthday three days
Speaker 1: a week? But that is what I think that is.
Speaker 1: And because I'm miserable and nobody even knows, I love that.
Speaker 1: I don't relate to that because people do know I'm
Speaker 1: miserable because I talk about it a lot, And now
Speaker 1: we know that Taylor is miserable. So like, I think
Speaker 1: this is a little bit reminds me of Thank You, Amy,
Speaker 1: where it's like she's saying a thing that we maybe
Speaker 1: used to assume but now we definitely know, Like where
Speaker 1: she's saying, like your daughter will come home and sing
Speaker 1: a song that only you and I know is about you,
Speaker 1: and it's like, no, everyone knows now, But I think
Speaker 1: previously that lyric would have been true. When she wrote
Speaker 1: it, it was true, but now that it's out, it's no
Speaker 1: longer true.
Speaker 2: We do know now now we can.
Speaker 1: I still think she'll be able to hide being miserable
Speaker 1: and we'll all assume she's doing great because she's so good.
Speaker 1: But I related to that as well, and I'm so
Speaker 1: obsessed with him, but he avoids me. That is crazy
Speaker 1: that she could be obsessed with someone and they avoid her.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just that doesn't make you feel seen
Speaker 1: as a woman who's he felt like kind of ghosted
Speaker 1: or like been like he won't write back to me.
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift is like looking at her text being like
Speaker 1: when is he writing me back? I and getting these
Speaker 1: dopamine hits when she does see his name, like she's
Speaker 1: just like.
Speaker 4: Us, yes exactly.
Speaker 1: I liked so hard when I was at Eras in
Speaker 1: Melbourne because I was with my friend who we were
Speaker 1: you know, we were all gushing about Travis, and at
Speaker 1: one point she like, you know, Taylor left the stage
Speaker 1: to transition to the next era, and my friend was like,
Speaker 1: do you think she's backstage texting Travis like it's going
Speaker 1: really well? Which makes me laugh so hard because like
Speaker 1: when is it not going well for her? But like
Speaker 1: can you imagine her like someone handing her phone and
Speaker 1: she's like, we're just about to get to speak now,
Speaker 1: it's going really great, like like like like I would
Speaker 1: about something I was doing one time, you know, Like
Speaker 1: It's just that made me laugh so hard to picture
Speaker 1: her going like it's going so well tonight, even though
Speaker 1: I do this fucking three times a week and I've
Speaker 1: never once stumbled, and when I did, it was the
Speaker 1: cutest stumble ever. Like, I like those the Errors Tours
Speaker 1: compilations because they're so adorable.
Speaker 2: She fucking never fucks up.
Speaker 1: When she does, she just like says like my space
Speaker 1: instead of my face, and everyone's like whoa. It's like
Speaker 1: I she's just so flawless. Even her errors are like
Speaker 1: spot on and perfect.
Speaker 3: I've watched that video like maybe a hundred times the
Speaker 3: MySpace and then she giggles yeah and the dancers giggle.
Speaker 4: It's so good.
Speaker 1: Oh, And I've watched the first time she did uh
Speaker 1: he's he's on the guy on the Chiefs coming straight
Speaker 1: home to me. Like each of the dancers like sees
Speaker 1: her doing like realize, like hears it.
Speaker 2: And goes like oh shit, and they like, I'll react.
Speaker 1: That is such a fun one to watch too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And when she like I hate watching her fuck up.
Speaker 2: I just don't.
Speaker 1: I don't enjoy. I literally kind of avoid them if
Speaker 1: I can. I don't want to see her, you know,
Speaker 1: step over words or whatever. And she never does. But
Speaker 1: there's that one where she's like, I keep this sut
Speaker 1: and she does that like sidestep and she slips because
Speaker 1: it's like raining and it's so cute and she fixes
Speaker 1: it perfectly and she just like kind of laughs at
Speaker 1: herself and it's just so cute. And then when her
Speaker 1: fucking heel fell off and she's walking around like it's
Speaker 1: still on, no one even noticed. That was amazing. And
Speaker 1: she threw that heel into the audience. I can't believe
Speaker 1: that heel hasn't surfaced and someone hasn't made like a
Speaker 1: video with it.
Speaker 4: But we got to go, okay, just so he does.
Speaker 4: He does, and he's never selling it.
