Speaker 1: I met you through that firm and it was kind
Speaker 1: of that perfect transition of I was looking for an
Speaker 1: assistant at the time and you're like, I'd moved to
Speaker 1: La and boom, eighteen years later, she's still here and
Speaker 1: not my assistant anymore. No, she has graduated something more important.
Speaker 1: She's the nanny, which I love, which at first you

Speaker 1: a bus with all these children at fifteen years old.
Speaker 2: Do you have a life since?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh I got it at fifteen, So that was
Speaker 1: I to think a little weird.

Speaker 1: her a.
Speaker 2: Cookie to put on her cookie pan and she was like.
Speaker 4: No, he was definitely, he was definitely fascinated with her,
Speaker 4: following her around. She was not having It's the type.
Speaker 1: That would be an instigator too. You know, if someone's gonna,
Speaker 1: you know, not play with him or something, he's gonna
Speaker 1: stick next to her side and force them to play
Speaker 1: with him.
Speaker 2: Yes, but he was actually being really sweet and she
Speaker 2: was not to him.
Speaker 1: Oh sad. Yeah, we finally got the okay for for
Speaker 1: people out there that have kids, you understand what it's
Speaker 1: like when you have kids in preschool or any school
Speaker 1: where they're just sick all the time and then they
Speaker 1: pass you things and all right, so Panucci went through,
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, I call my son Panucci. Uh did the
Speaker 1: foot and mouth disease?
Speaker 3: Yaw?
Speaker 1: And I know every every teacher was like, look, you're
Speaker 1: you're gonna get it, like it's gonna happen. Well it happened,
Speaker 1: and the doctor said it was a ten out of ten.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 1: It looked like chicken pox all over his face, his
Speaker 1: little fingers. He just lost a nail because it just
Speaker 1: you know, had fallen off.
Speaker 2: It's indoor playgrounds. It's not it's preschool too, but those
Speaker 2: indoor playgrounds.
Speaker 1: I think he at it from the zoo near Palm
Speaker 1: Springs because the timing, because he was he was on
Speaker 1: spring break, so what in school? But I think because
Speaker 1: I saw him at the zoo licking every single cage
Speaker 1: and window and I'm like, this is disgusting, This is disgusting.
Speaker 1: He just loves to spit on his hand. He is
Speaker 1: just a typical boy, gross boy.
Speaker 4: I know him.
Speaker 2: When I say something, he's like sorry.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Speaking speaking of Jack's Jackson's kid, did you see the
Speaker 4: episode this last week with Jack's kid was licking the
Speaker 4: licking the window.
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And and La LA's daughter. I think had hand foot
Speaker 2: mouthed like right before him. We heard at the party.
Speaker 2: But yeah, that place is a peach.
Speaker 1: Just speaking of Jack's and birthdays, the cake falling, the
Speaker 1: poor little kid out his beautiful cake, and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the table just falls down, the cake
Speaker 1: just hits it.
Speaker 4: I think we should be careful considering you're probably going
Speaker 4: to have at some point.
Speaker 1: That's okay, Now, I'm good. Oh yeah, it's my birthday week.
Speaker 1: It's my birthday month basically, yes, because it was a
Speaker 1: week ago, but we came up here to really have
Speaker 1: a fun time. Got Jac they with us today, we're
Speaker 1: gonna catch up with him, and yeah, it's just a
Speaker 1: prolonged birthday weekend. We have about forty to fifty gays
Speaker 1: here and they're about to tear the town up. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be crazy, all right, give us a couple more
Speaker 1: shows before we take a little break and bring jac
Speaker 1: on for reality round Up? What else? Because I am
Speaker 1: I'm finally caught up to the circle. And for people
Speaker 1: that don't know, Giggles was on the Circle. She played
Speaker 1: me on the Circle because you can catfish people. It's
Speaker 1: a social media reality show. It is mindless television. But
Speaker 1: so good to go to sleep too, because now that
Speaker 1: I don't have much time to watch TV, I like
Speaker 1: to go to sleep with it on. And it's a
Speaker 1: show that you can close your eyes and just listen to.
Speaker 1: It's like radio because you don't have to see the people,
Speaker 1: you just hear their voices. So I'm caught up with
Speaker 1: now season six. What are you thinking of like the
Speaker 1: latest seasons, because now they're back, they're in Atlanta, now
Speaker 1: they're not shooting in England, and I.
Speaker 2: Know it was so great in Mantester. I have not
Speaker 2: seen this latest season, which I need to watch tonight,
Speaker 2: but I love it. Like I hear there's Ai and Ai.
Speaker 1: That was interesting. Yeah, this was. It's kind of eerie
Speaker 1: how this works. So on the show, you can come
Speaker 1: in as yourself. You come in as a catfish. You know.
Speaker 1: The Spice girls were on it two seasons ago playing
Speaker 1: some dude. Yeah you were playing me, which no one
Speaker 1: believed at all. And yeah, so there's this season. It
Speaker 1: was so interesting because they put an AI, a computer
Speaker 1: into the circle.
Speaker 3: Was it a boy or a girl?
Speaker 1: It was a boy and it was just this machine.
Speaker 1: And so when they go to the confessionals. It's just
Speaker 1: showing this machine and he's talking, and the only thing
Speaker 1: that it could work off was the text messages that
Speaker 1: people were sending within the circle eerie how this works.
Speaker 1: He fooled every single person, every single person, like, there's
Speaker 1: no way that that person's the AI because they found
Speaker 1: out that there's someone AI. Oh yeah, they finally told
Speaker 1: him there's a one there's an AI screen in it,
Speaker 1: and not one person figured it out because they said
Speaker 1: that was the least likely that it would be AI.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: And just the way that he was presenting, like Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm going to do this because you know, da da
Speaker 1: da da da. Like psychologically he's going to think that
Speaker 1: it's nuts. We are about to go through some crazy AI.
Speaker 1: My worry is.
Speaker 2: If they're we're not going to be needed and they're
Speaker 2: going to kill us.
Speaker 1: No, well I don't know if they're going to kill us,
Speaker 1: but uh.
Speaker 4: She might not be the person to talk about AI
Speaker 4: hand to expert.
Speaker 1: Well this is interesting as such an interesting uh subject,
Speaker 1: you know now, especially for entertainers. So I'm glad j
Speaker 1: C's here because as a songwriter, you know, AI is
Speaker 1: like writing songs now and it's you know, like our
Speaker 1: songwriters are I mean scared for but they don't.
Speaker 2: Have emotion like you know, like it can write you
Speaker 2: a but there's no emotion in it. You have to
Speaker 2: like fill it in.
Speaker 1: And the same thing with film industry, you know, now
Speaker 1: the sad contract has it where that you know, a
Speaker 1: I cannot replace them for now. I mean, who knows
Speaker 1: when that's gonna change. But yeah, we're we're going to
Speaker 1: a completely weird territory comm right now. Yeah, it is
Speaker 1: black mirror. We're living black mirror right now. Ye. Well,
Speaker 1: on that fun note, let's take a little break and uh,
Speaker 1: let's scare you later. All right, we're gonna have Jac
Speaker 1: here in just a few minutes. Don't go anywhere. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to Frosted Tips. All right, it's Lance here. Obviously
Speaker 1: we got Giggles Dell Campo with us. Oh hi, and
Speaker 1: right now we got the man of the hour, J C. Chase.
Speaker 1: Welcome to you.
Speaker 3: No one wants to share a microphone with me?
Speaker 1: Well, well it's you know, it's a COVID world these days,
Speaker 1: and you're just dirty, but.
Speaker 3: You're sharing what's up?
Speaker 1: Well, Well, we are in Las Vegas doing a fun
Speaker 1: for US's Tips special because it has been my birthday
Speaker 1: for about five years now and we continued it here
Speaker 1: in Vegas with some friends. We want to invite Sea
Speaker 1: up to catch up with him. When was the last
Speaker 1: time you were in Vegas?
Speaker 3: It's literally been years, like no years, years, right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: you haven't.
Speaker 1: Been here in years years? Why do you hate Vegas?
Speaker 3: I don't hate Vegas. It just sounds like unless there's
Speaker 3: like a reason, like a real reason, It's like I don't.
Speaker 3: I'm not a party boy anymore.
Speaker 1: You know, neither neither am I look my Yeah.
Speaker 3: Your birthday last a month. I'm not a party boy.
Speaker 1: But it's more, you know, dinners and shows these days.
Speaker 1: I lived in Vegas in my twenties and it was
Speaker 1: crazy at geggles did too, But now in my forties,
Speaker 1: I love it. It is the best restaurants in the world.
Speaker 1: This is the flagship of every major chef. The entertainment
Speaker 1: is top notch right now. Everyone has these incredible residencies.
Speaker 1: Got God Ultiman, you know it. Everyone is Herej's in
Speaker 1: the world. Kaigo is spinning tonight or tomorrow at the
Speaker 1: birthday party. But yeah, I mean I Vegas these days
Speaker 1: I just love so much more than I did in
Speaker 1: my younger years, because I don't I don't do the
Speaker 1: yeah wee hours of the morning getting wasted.
Speaker 3: We'll see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well okay, well it is not that's my weekend.
Speaker 3: Everybody's saying, it's Lance's birthday party. If you dip out
Speaker 3: at like ten o'clock, it's a bad look.
Speaker 1: Do you have any fond memories of Vegas because we've
Speaker 1: we've performed here a good bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, look but by the way, my brother's
Speaker 3: twenty first birthday we did here. So like little stuff
Speaker 3: like that. You know. Again, that's what's great about this city,
Speaker 3: you know it. It has a way of kind of
Speaker 3: creeping into everyone's life at one time or another and
Speaker 3: creating a memory.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, I remember one show we did. I think
Speaker 1: it was the Pop Odyssey Tour because it was outdoors,
Speaker 1: so it must have been our stadium.
Speaker 3: To trillion degrees outside, yeah, trillion degrees out.
Speaker 1: I literally think it was one hundred and ten that day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I was off the tarmac. It was even
Speaker 3: hotter than that, right, Like they kept saying like, don't
Speaker 3: go near the asphalt because it's making it even hotter.
Speaker 2: And you're like, do you like when you tour. You guys,
Speaker 2: are you as a band, We're probably too busy. But
Speaker 2: like if I was like a router or to tour manager,
Speaker 2: I don't know, I would be like, let's do Vegas
Speaker 2: in March.
Speaker 1: Like I guess it wasn't a I mean it was
Speaker 1: a summer tour.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a summer tour. And it's also about like again,
Speaker 3: just getting from A to B, Like, how do you
Speaker 3: want your drives to be? Yeah, you know, how many
Speaker 3: long drives do you want to have? You trying to
Speaker 3: keep those, you know, kind of to a minimum. Otherwise,
Speaker 3: travel wears your body down as much as anything else.
Speaker 1: So yeah, all right, since we are in Vegas and
Speaker 1: it is I guess entertainment capital of the world. I
Speaker 1: mean La used to be, but I feel like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, people don't perform there as much like you
Speaker 1: come to Vegas and New York like see entertainers. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give you three options. Who are you gonna go see?
Speaker 1: If you had tickets tonight would have been Lady Gaga,
Speaker 1: Shania Twain or Elton John Elton, Elton, I go, You're
Speaker 1: friends with Elton, So okay, let me replace bias. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're biased, Donnie and Marie. Oh no, he went and
Speaker 1: to Garth, Donnie and Marie Gaga. Okay, yeah, y'all saw
Speaker 1: because Gaga has two shows. She has the pop show
Speaker 1: and she has a jazz show. I went to the
Speaker 1: Jazz show, and I would say it's my one of
Speaker 1: my top three shows I've ever seen in my entire life.
Speaker 3: She's a superstar man, She's a crazy talent.
Speaker 1: So yeah, incredible, and she plays this character like she's
Speaker 1: funny and I don't know, it's just it was so
Speaker 1: entertaining and I just wasn't expecting it because I if I,
Speaker 1: if I had my choice, I'm like, I want to
Speaker 1: see the pop one, but you know, she just happened
Speaker 1: to be doing the jazz one when I was here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I may just floored me.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen it, but everybody that I've talked to
Speaker 3: that's seen it said they're like, there's a different kind
Speaker 3: of connection.
Speaker 1: And I think that's what you're talking as a connection. Yeah,
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. And you know, a lot of older
Speaker 1: people in the audience, but just yeah, it was just
Speaker 1: a beautiful. She had so many beautiful moments, just deep.
Speaker 1: It was, Yeah, I need to go back and see that.
Speaker 1: I think she's coming back soon.
Speaker 3: She might be busy being a movie star now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but she always likes to come back and you know,
Speaker 1: do these things. Yeah, well, people don't know that I
Speaker 1: actually have plaxoriasis. This I did not know. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean obviously it's not a conversation that
Speaker 1: I usually you don't have with people. So have you
Speaker 1: gotten like spots or anything like? Yeah, I mean I
Speaker 1: used to do. Good thing is like a lot of
Speaker 1: it's in remission, but I'd always get it on my legs,
Speaker 1: especially my knees, and so like when you're trying to
Speaker 1: wear shorts and stuff. That's why I would never wear shorts.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, you know what, I used to have some
Speaker 5: some things that I wanted to cover up as well.
Speaker 1: It wasn't plackoriasis.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean I think anytime you're trying to
Speaker 5: put together a look, you're always working around certain things.
Speaker 5: But so wait, but now you do wear shorts now, No.
Speaker 1: I still it's you know, it's I don't know, it's
Speaker 1: it's built into my DNA and not to even wear shorts.
Speaker 1: And even though like you can barely.
Speaker 5: Sometimes when you're having like a little pool day.
Speaker 1: But okay, I get what you're so, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I would use all these different creams to help,
Speaker 1: you know, and it would help for a while, but
Speaker 1: then it would get on my clothes and then you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna mess up my gucci, my gucci. Uh uh.
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people out there, you know,
Speaker 1: suffer from this, and uh, just know you're not alone.
Speaker 1: You're not alone. I'm there with you, guys, there with you,
Speaker 1: so you know, I I'm so glad that has let
Speaker 1: us do this whole special with JC and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's always fun to work with those guys. Okay,
Speaker 1: So now that I have you and we can talk
Speaker 1: about it, let's talk about better Place, okay, because we're
Speaker 1: for so long could not mentioned the song. The strike
Speaker 1: really kind of killed a lot of things we were
Speaker 1: gonna do with it, but better Place patrols. What did
Speaker 1: you think about getting back together when you first got
Speaker 1: that call, like, hey, maybe we should do a song for.
Speaker 3: The HOOI It was interesting because uh, Justin and I
Speaker 3: had already actually been in the studio messing around with
Speaker 3: other ideas.
Speaker 1: Really, you didn't know this.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and uh spoiler alert, I mean, do I get
Speaker 6: to hear these these songs?
Speaker 3: And so we had been just kind of chatting loosely
Speaker 3: about different things, and then you know, we had you know,
Speaker 3: popped in, did a did a little bit of this,
Speaker 3: a little bit of that, and then kind of dipped
Speaker 3: out and then popped in, did a little bit of this,
Speaker 3: a little bit of that, and then dipped out. And
Speaker 3: then he hit me up and he's like, I want
Speaker 3: you to come by the studio because I want to
Speaker 3: talk to you.
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, And it sounds like like
Speaker 1: a parent, like.
Speaker 3: Any kind of way he's just but you know, he
Speaker 3: just wanted to kind of we need to talk to
Speaker 3: Rap a little bit. And then he's just like, I
Speaker 3: think there's a great way to kind of, you know,
Speaker 3: have us all hop on something and not have the
Speaker 3: pressure of having to launch something because you know, look,
Speaker 3: he been working for on his record for years, so
Speaker 3: it's not like you can you can't like fake anybody
Speaker 3: out and you can't you know, set anybody up. So
Speaker 3: it's just like, you know, you can't really create a
Speaker 3: first single if you're not going to back it up, right.
Speaker 3: So the thinking was like, hey man, we can do
Speaker 3: something together and we don't, and we can you know,
Speaker 3: give our fans something that's a lot of fun, but
Speaker 3: we don't have to, you know, uh, mislead anybody with it.
Speaker 3: And so look, I thought it was a great idea. Look,
Speaker 3: all you guys are parents now, right, Like I'm the
Speaker 3: only one that doesn't have kids, so.
Speaker 6: Lucky, right, Well, Joey's kids are grown, right, Like, well
Speaker 6: I have two, so I mean, if you won't to
Speaker 6: borrow one at a time.
Speaker 3: But I thought it was like the total one of
Speaker 3: the most appropriate things we could do, right, So he's
Speaker 3: just like, uh from that point that, I mean, the
Speaker 3: conversation was like I've been thinking this is kind of
Speaker 3: a great way to introduce it. And I was like, well,
Speaker 3: let's hear it. And he played the song and he's like,
Speaker 3: let's just go in and get on it. And so
Speaker 3: it was like all right, you know, because we didn't
Speaker 3: want to, you know, make any call anybody else and
Speaker 3: make any guarantees until we felt like it could be
Speaker 3: the right thing. And uh, and so I went in
Speaker 3: and popped in and laid the vocal down and then
Speaker 3: it was just kind of like, Okay, you know it,
Speaker 3: it sounds like it could work. And then it was like, well,
Speaker 3: let's let's just try it and see. And then it
Speaker 3: was like a matter of you know, when everybody kind
Speaker 3: of got the call, it was kind of like we
Speaker 3: still I mean, we felt like we could do it,
Speaker 3: but you just never know until you hear it done right,
Speaker 3: Like you have to make sure you know, you don't.
Speaker 3: It's like everything that we've ever done, it's my whole
Speaker 3: philosophy has been protect the brand, Protect the brand. It's
Speaker 3: got to be a quality, you know, that that we
Speaker 3: bring to the table. And because that's what we cared
Speaker 3: about all those years, it was so important the quality. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and and and so you know, having the movie step
Speaker 3: in and really have our backs, so we weren't just
Speaker 3: out there by ourselves. We had, you know, Justin's whole team,
Speaker 3: We had the whole movie company really there for us.
Speaker 3: I thought it was a great way to kind of
Speaker 3: get back in in a comfortable way.
Speaker 1: You know. It was great for my cases. They are
Speaker 1: the perfect age patrols. I didn't even think that they
Speaker 1: would be old enough really, but then we started, you know,
Speaker 1: since we've recorded the song, like well you gotta you
Speaker 1: gotta watch the first one and the second one. You know,
Speaker 1: I gotta get.
Speaker 3: All my friends that have kids and my brothers kids.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: It was just like they were on it right away.
Speaker 2: So did so when you went in to talk to
Speaker 2: them about the song? Did you record that day?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Wow, I see.
Speaker 2: But I like that. I like it's like it's like,
Speaker 2: let's just do it.
Speaker 3: Well, let's just try it right like that, that's the
Speaker 3: whole thing. Just try it.
Speaker 1: You always go back and re record things, but yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just kind of fun of it.
Speaker 3: We'll just go, you know what, this isn't the one.
Speaker 3: Let's you know what, maybe maybe the next opportunity, you know,
Speaker 3: maybe there's another song out there or you know, so
Speaker 3: it's just a matter of the right thing at the
Speaker 3: right time.
Speaker 1: Have you ever as a songwriter? Have you ever gone
Speaker 1: in to record a song and then halfway through you're like,
Speaker 1: you know what, this isn't right. Then you're just gonna stop.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean that's part of the writing process,
Speaker 3: you know. I'm one of those I don't wait until
Speaker 3: the song is totally written to lay it down. I'm
Speaker 3: always laying down scratch vocals throughout the process. While I'm
Speaker 3: working on a section. Sometimes it's best to go in
Speaker 3: and hear it. That way, you can hear it sooner
Speaker 3: than later. If it's working, you know, it's like you
Speaker 3: can lay down a verse and go, that's not feeling right.
Speaker 3: We need to rework something here, you know, instead of
Speaker 3: waiting to get the verse and then the pre and
Speaker 3: then the chorus and then da da, work work on
Speaker 3: it a piece at a time. And you know, at
Speaker 3: least that's been my process for I would say most songs,
Speaker 3: not all songs.
Speaker 2: But most songs are you because I know Lance gets
Speaker 2: surprised about this. Are you surprised the love of your
Speaker 2: fans is still like the demand for you guys to
Speaker 2: get back together is still so high? Is that surprising
Speaker 2: to you?
Speaker 3: You know? I don't. I almost don't understand it myself,
Speaker 3: Like I can't get my head around it, you know,
Speaker 3: I just look, I just like making things, and the
Speaker 3: fact that anybody ever showed up in the first place
Speaker 3: blows my mind. So it's like, I don't take any
Speaker 3: of it for granted. I am beyond thankful when somebody
Speaker 3: go takes the time and the energy to check out
Speaker 3: what you're doing. I mean, that's huge. That's their time.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: It's like if there's one thing we don't have, you know,
Speaker 3: an an infinite amount of it's time, you know. So
Speaker 3: it's like for somebody to give us their time and
Speaker 3: their energy. It's humbling, it's flattering, it's all those things.
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful thing. I think a lot of the
Speaker 1: fan base now, just like me, we like to look
Speaker 1: back and feel good about like our youth, and I
Speaker 1: think people are just craving that, I don't know, peacefulness,
Speaker 1: the times when it felt a little just calmer and yeah,
Speaker 1: more innocent, you didn't have so much responsibility, you know.
Speaker 3: I think I told you, I.
Speaker 2: Know I've told you this, but I read something how
Speaker 2: when you're in middle school in high school, the songs
Speaker 2: that you you know love then yeah, they're it's going
Speaker 2: to be like the songs that you remember the most
Speaker 2: in your whole life, and it's you have an emotional
Speaker 2: connection with. So now we're all older in sing fans
Speaker 2: are older, so it's like it's so happy to hear
Speaker 2: those songs.
Speaker 1: We were talking about this earlier, but as a songwriter, know,
Speaker 1: AI is like taking off and they're doing all these
Speaker 1: AI songs how do you see its influence going forward
Speaker 1: in the music industry on radio.
Speaker 3: It's already influencing. Yeah, for sure, it's already influencing it.
Speaker 3: I mean it's it's not what people want to it's
Speaker 3: not what songwriters want to hear, it's not what producers
Speaker 3: want to hear who want to do it. But here
Speaker 3: my thing is, if you love making music and if
Speaker 3: you love songwriter, do it because you love it. You know,
Speaker 3: if you're doing it to compete with someone, I don't
Speaker 3: know if that's even the right reason to do it.
Speaker 3: You know, you you write a song because you love
Speaker 3: writing music. And the reality is, you know, jingles are
Speaker 3: now being you know, for television, commercials are being written
Speaker 3: by computers. Now that's just it's happening. It's like, it's
Speaker 3: not like a what if it's happening. So the reality
Speaker 3: is you have to do it because you love it.
Speaker 3: Now the tough part is I do understand, like people say,
Speaker 3: hey man, this is we got to work out, you know,
Speaker 3: where this algorithm is learning all this information because you know,
Speaker 3: these people that wrote songs that this algorithm is learning from,
Speaker 3: you know, they're almost like a credited writer in a way.
Speaker 3: So there, there's a lot to figure out.
Speaker 1: But the real even figure that out though, because I
Speaker 1: would think the computer's so that it would change.
Speaker 3: It because because you're talking about it's not Look, we're
Speaker 3: human computers, right, Like, everything we've ever heard is influencing
Speaker 3: what we write, everything that we've read, everything that we've seen,
Speaker 3: everything that we've heard. We're processing that information and interpreting
Speaker 3: it our way, and that's our voice. And these algorithms
Speaker 3: are essentially instead of pulling from maybe the five to
Speaker 3: twenty thousand songs I've heard, is pulling from five million songs.
Speaker 2: Who gets paid? Who gets paid? Like when AI is writ.
Speaker 3: And stuff, who's that stuff? It's so new. I'm like,
Speaker 3: it's way above my my brain. Like again, I don't
Speaker 3: have five million brains, so like, but there's gonna have
Speaker 3: to there's gonna have to be an instance, like you
Speaker 3: said with the writers strike, where we try and at least,
Speaker 3: you know, protect our fellow human creators. You know, there
Speaker 3: has to be a space for them.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's gonna be very interesting. And yeah, I
Speaker 1: listened to writers like Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift and
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, females are killing it. Right now.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you turn on the radio and it's
Speaker 1: Sabrina Carver. It's all these like young girls. Uh and
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of especially with Olivia and Taylor.
Speaker 1: I'll be listening to a song like wait a minute,
Speaker 1: that reminds me so much of that song, and that's
Speaker 1: the influence that yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean that's always been around, Like again,
Speaker 3: in our in every era, every artist is influenced by someone, right,
Speaker 3: like the biggest rock stars in the world. Like you know,
Speaker 3: you go back as far as you want. Somebody loved
Speaker 3: someone's music and that's what made them want to make music.
Speaker 1: Do you ever get a melody in your head and
Speaker 1: you're like, oh my god, this is so genius and
Speaker 1: you're like work on it for a bit, maybe even
Speaker 1: record it, and then you realize, oh wait, that was
Speaker 1: done by David Bowie.
Speaker 3: Catching it early. I got I've got enough of a
Speaker 3: catalog that I'm pretty good at catching it early. And
Speaker 3: I go, oh, can't do that, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: if I'm singing something or it's like yeah, I definitely
Speaker 3: can't do that.
Speaker 2: Is there like a like a software that say that
Speaker 2: you you did this, but you didn't know, you're like,
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe I heard that song, but I
Speaker 2: don't know, is there like maybe that's.
Speaker 1: Where AI comes in.
Speaker 3: I mean, look, they have a million ways to look
Speaker 3: into that stuff. I know that that's a big part
Speaker 3: of what the A and R teams do. Now when
Speaker 3: you're signed to a label, it's like they're making sure
Speaker 3: that you know, there aren't any samples in there or
Speaker 3: anything like that, and so they're looking through that stuff.
Speaker 3: But again, I try to be as original as possible.
Speaker 3: But you know, again, we are all influenced by the
Speaker 3: world around us, so you never know. But you look,
Speaker 3: you're trying to have your own voice in the process.
Speaker 1: It's almost been a year. But how's your stomach from
Speaker 1: Hot Ones?
Speaker 3: I was alright, man, you killed it. I was like,
Speaker 3: everybody's like, this is ho It was like, it's hot,
Speaker 3: but it's it didn't. It didn't. It didn't hurt as
Speaker 3: bad as everyone told me it was gonna hurt. It was. Look,
Speaker 3: it was hot, but not until with the last.
Speaker 1: Two or three I think it was number seven. That
Speaker 1: just what because it all kind of it was the
Speaker 1: same level to me. I'm like, well, after you eat one,
Speaker 1: it all tastes the same. It's not about that.
Speaker 3: But I wasn't also housing them like Joey was.
Speaker 1: Joey is trying to be so cool.
Speaker 3: He was housing them, and he was like, going, he's
Speaker 3: out there.
Speaker 1: You would eat the whole wing just to like prove
Speaker 1: that he's a man or something.
Speaker 3: And then he was hungry, nodding and crying like he
Speaker 3: jumped into a pool.
Speaker 1: Yeah are you, like, are you catching you, coach? But
Speaker 1: it's just profusely sweaty.
Speaker 3: And the and the text thread two hours after that
Speaker 3: show was intense.
Speaker 1: For forty eight hours. The text thread was, uh, was definitely.
Speaker 6: In a yeah, I would never want to see that,
Speaker 6: and I think every single one of them want to
Speaker 6: see that.
Speaker 1: I think every single one of us. Took a picture
Speaker 1: of us sitting on the pot with our like just
Speaker 1: our feet, just like yeah, like, is anyone in the
Speaker 1: same position right now?
Speaker 2: And all of you sent back the same photo.
Speaker 1: No, well, JC is no, I would not either.
Speaker 3: No have sense.
Speaker 1: That probably Oh I'm sure, I'm sure. And you know
Speaker 1: they say milk helps, No, it doesn't. Like never, it
Speaker 1: didn't take the sting out of my mouth.
Speaker 3: To be fair, I did pregame, Oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, you drank the milk beforehand.
Speaker 3: But no, I didn't drink milk, but I did. Uh,
Speaker 3: I did like a toms before we started, and i'd
Speaker 3: no because you still feel the heat. But you don't
Speaker 3: want to like eat holes in your stomach, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean.
Speaker 1: I think if this was an Olympic sport, you would
Speaker 1: have been disqualified, That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 3: But I'm not trying to eat the hot Olympics.
Speaker 1: Like maybe there should be. You know, Olympics is coming
Speaker 1: up well in France, you know, we have you know,
Speaker 1: Paris coming up this summer. But then it's here the
Speaker 1: twenty eight in La Yeah, yeah, twenty twenty eight, which
Speaker 1: is you know, it's gonna be hell with traffic. I'm
Speaker 1: not looking forward to this, and of course I don't
Speaker 1: know how there's anything.
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe all of La is just going to lead, yeah,
Speaker 3: and let all the tourists run it for a little while.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because there's no room. And where they're having the
Speaker 1: Olympics is already where Sofi is and there's nowhere to move.
Speaker 1: So I don't know how the city.
Speaker 3: Feels that way. I mean, think about how crowded Paris is, you.
Speaker 1: Know, what I mean. I love how Paris is doing
Speaker 1: it though. Did you see that they're spreading out all
Speaker 1: throughout the city. Yeah, so they're not doing they're not
Speaker 1: building new buildings for everything, right, or at least most
Speaker 1: of them. They're doing volleyball in front of the Eiffel Tower.
Speaker 1: They're doing all these amazing monumental things where they're just
Speaker 1: putting things outdoors in like beautiful places, which I think
Speaker 1: is Yeah, that's fun. That's a way to use your
Speaker 1: city and not have to spend a billion dollars on
Speaker 1: building different Olympic villages and all that where. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: are you gonna do after that? All right, guys, that
Speaker 1: is all the show I have to you for this
Speaker 1: half of the show. We're gonna continue this conversation later,
Speaker 1: all right. JC is still going to stick around. I
Speaker 1: got a couple more peanuts coming in, So you're gonna
Speaker 1: want to listen to part two of this podcast. So
