How did you know 31 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 2: that song? How did you know to do that song? 32 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 3: I just did. I don't know. 33 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: I love Ozzy Osbourne. I grew up on Ozzy Osbourne 34 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: in the car with my dad. He's a he's like 35 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 1: a drive fast, listen to some rock music type of guy, 36 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: and so we would like whenever we went hunting or 37 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: on like a back roads drive, he was like always 38 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: just ripping it and playing rock music. So I don't know, 39 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: it was just I just wanted to do it. 40 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 3: One day. 41 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: I remember we were touring in Europe and I said 42 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: we should cover No More Years after It's just Raining, 43 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: because that's ironic. I have a song called It's just 44 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: Raining that's like it's delusional. It's like I'm not crying, 45 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: It's just raining, and then singing No More Tears after 46 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: that it would just be funny, and everyone laughed at me, 47 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: except for my guitar player. Everyone was like, oh ah, 48 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 1: like you could never cover that song, and then I did. 49 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: And people either love it or they hate it. So 50 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 1: it's been like. 51 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 2: A war between people hate it. 52 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 3: I don't know. 53 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: Some people are like, this is awesome. Majority of people 54 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: are like this is awesome. But I think I'm getting 55 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: like my first hate comments that I've ever gotten in 56 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: my life. 57 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 2: You know why that's good because that's goods amazing well, 58 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 2: and that means you're also there are so many people, 59 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,679 Speaker 2: and once you get to the point of so many 60 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 2: people seeing something, you're just gonna get negative. Right. It 61 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 2: doesn't matter how good. 62 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: Right, it's just funny too, because no one really like 63 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: you didn't expect it, No one really expects it from me. 64 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,399 Speaker 1: Some like a five foot four blonde girl that sings 65 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: songs about her x's. 66 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 2: You know a couple things. The juxtaposition of yes, yes, 67 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 2: you a five foot four blonde girl that sings about 68 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 2: I was gonna say it like that, right that, and 69 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 2: then also even like what you're wearing because you're like 70 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 2: cool and rte feminine.

But no, I sat down 77 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: and it's not It's really not a hard song to play. 78 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 3: It's just like open d. 79 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 2: So you put out the song the live version?

Everyone since the first video. 86 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: Everyone was begging for me to release, like release a 87 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: version of it, like let alone a live version of it. 88 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: So we just recorded it one day and it was 89 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: really fun because my band we have this joke because 90 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: I am very I love Butterfly and it's like all 91 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: over my branding and just my life. I've always loved 92 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: them and like the symbolism of them. And so I 93 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: was telling him a story about my sister and I 94 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: when we shared a room. We didn't have ac in 95 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: our house, and so in the summer, we'd open our 96 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: window and the moths would come in and we would 97 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: kill the moths with our flip flops. Anyways, long story short, 98 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 1: I told my band that they thought it was funny, 99 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: and then they named themselves the moth Cuts, and so 100 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: the Mothcuts got a feature on the song and they 101 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: were really excited about it to have all of their 102 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: moments and their solos and stuff. 103 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 2: Do you feel like you have to play it every 104 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 2: show now? 105 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 3: Yeah?

So No More 110 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: Tears is kind of like a moment to I don't know, 111 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: kind of get away from that, but also rage at 112 00:04:58,520 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: the same time, which is fun. 113 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 2: Something else that I enjoyed was you are a whistling 114 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 2: You're proficient at whistling. Now, did you get good at 115 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 2: whistling before you started performing or did you think, man, 116 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 2: I could add this to the arsenal if I learned 117 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 2: to whistle. 118 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: Right, No, I've just always whistled. My grandpa also taught 119 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: me to whistle around the same time you taught me 120 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: to play the guitar or the first chord on the guitar. 121 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 3: But I just whistle. 122 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: Everywhere I go.

Yeah, 147 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 2: growing up in Arizona. In Arizona, why did you have 148 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 2: an air condition in your house growing up in Arizona, 149 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 2: I don't. 150 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: Know because I lived in flag Staff, so we have 151 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: winters and snow and like a ski resort and stuff. 152 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: So it did get cold in the winter, so we 153 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: didn't really need one. In the summer, it was blazing hot, 154 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: but so what windows are for and we had like 155 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: a house fan. 156 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 2: You know. I didn't know there were parts of Arizona 157 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 2: that had seasons, right, like my completely uneducated view. And 158 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 2: I've been to obviously Phoenix and Scott's Dell and Tempe. Yeah, 159 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 2: and I've never been to a place where it wasn't 160 00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 2: one hundred and ten degrees. 161 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: Most people don't really know that seasons exist in Arizona 162 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: because they've only ever been to like the Phoenix area, 163 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: which is like my least favorite part of Arizona. But 164 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: Flagstaff's like we have a mountain and we're forty five 165 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: minutes from Sedona.

Can you appreciate what you were 211 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 2: doing without judging that I how good the song is. 212 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,719 Speaker 1: I really look back on songs I wrote like two 213 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: weeks ago, and I think I cringe every time. It's 214 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: like looking back at old journal entries. I'm just like, wow, really, 215 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: But I can also I'm learning to appreciate things for 216 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,839 Speaker 1: like the time that they served. I guess, but I 217 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: don't know. I'm changing so fast and like evolving so 218 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: differently and so much. Especially I'm like, I'm only twenty one, 219 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: so it's like every year, I'm like a new person. 220 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 2: So that'll never change. Yeah, And it will also never 221 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 2: change that you won't look back and cringe as long 222 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 2: as you're growing. 223 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 3: Well, to be cringe just to be free. 224 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 2: So, man, I don't feel free when I'm cringing at 225 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 2: my stuff. I hate it. I have realized though, that 226 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 2: if I don't cringe at it, then I haven't grown 227 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 2: enough from it. Right, So if I look back at 228 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 2: something on television or a joke I wrote, or I 229 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 2: don't really listen to the podcast or radio shows back, 230 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 2: but if I do and I'm like, oh, I like that. 231 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 2: I have that feeling because it lets me know that 232 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 2: I feel I'm better than that now and that I've 233 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 2: grown from that. 234 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 3: Well, that's a really good perspective. I love that. 235 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 2: I have to find ways to not want to jump 236 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 2: off ledges, right, And so that's how I've convinced myself 237 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 2: not to jump off the ledge, because it means I 238 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 2: must feel like I'm way better than that and I've 239 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 2: grown from that. Where do you feel like you are 240 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 2: in your career now? Like, if you were to name 241 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 2: this season, give it a title. 242 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: This season, I would say this is the season of 243 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: like the roots of the Tree. I feel like the 244 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: last season that I was in was very It was 245 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: lots of connection with strangers and fans and the Leca 246 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: Litters was fan inspired and it wasn't just an album, 247 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: it was really like everywhere in my life. It was 248 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: just a lot of honesty and vulnerability and connecting with 249 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: people this season, and I think I'm really like putting 250 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: my foot down and saying what I want, which I've 251 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: never really been like that ever in my life. I 252 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: finally feel like I have a voice and like I 253 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: can have the confidence to, like I don't know, be 254 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: who I am and embody like my roots. 255 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 3: Really. 256 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 2: Are there any that record came out last in May? Right? 257 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 3: Yeah? 258 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 2: Were there any songs on that record that were so 259 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 2: honest and vulnerable that you thought maybe they were too 260 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 2: honest and vulnerable? 261 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: Yes, every single one, every single one in different ways 262 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 1: and in different, completely different ways. Because I've always been 263 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: a vulnerable writer. That's how I cope. That's how lots 264 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: of songwriters cope with just the experiences that they're having 265 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: in their lives. But man, every song off of the 266 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: last record was not just songs that I felt like 267 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: I could relate to, like I felt I was fitting 268 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: something off of my chest. I had started like the 269 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: Leco letters at my shows a couple of years ago 270 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: because I was singing you know, narcissists on stage and 271 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 1: watching people scream it back to me, and it was 272 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 1: really cool because I was like, oh my gosh, people know, 273 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: people are knowing my stuff. But at the same time, 274 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: it was really sad because that was an experience that 275 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,319 Speaker 1: I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy. And all these 276 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 1: people could relate and not only relate, but they were 277 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: like sharing their stories with me that were far worse 278 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: than anything I've ever experienced. And so I invited people 279 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: to just write down one thing they wanted to go 280 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: over the show. And I used to say in interviews 281 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: that I'd never write about someone else's experiences, and then 282 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: I was so wrong, and people shared, you know, the 283 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: whole spectrum of things that they struggle with that it's 284 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: crazy when someone's given the opportunity to anonymously share like 285 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: what they'll say. And so I just remember the whole 286 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: time that I was writing the album and thinking about 287 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: it and just preparing for it to be released, I 288 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: was like very anxious about it, but at the same 289 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: time also very confident in it, and I felt that 290 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: it was really important to say even though it was 291 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: honestly a lot harder on me and my personal life. 292 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: I get my personal life took a toll because of it, 293 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: but it was worth it because it created such a 294 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: beautiful space for people to like connect. So I remember, like, 295 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 1: even when we wrote Grave and Danny, don't it just 296 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: feels very dark and sad. But I don't know, I 297 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: think it's good to expose those feelings sometimes because people 298 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 1: don't really talk about that stuff. 299 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 2: They're like different levels of vulnerability, and we'll call it 300 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 2: creation because first off, when you're riding with someone, you're 301 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 2: vulnerable with that one or two people. Yeah, if it's 302 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 2: a three way ride or if it's a co ride, 303 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 2: like you kind of have to pour your guts out 304 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 2: in an uncomfortable way. Yeah. 305 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: You walk in the room and you're like, so, this 306 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: is everything I'm dealing with right now. Like when we 307 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: wrote Narcissists, I just opened my journal and I like 308 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: read my journal. 309 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 3: End. 310 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 2: That's so hard to do, so. 311 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: Weird, especially because I've I'm still very new to town. 312 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 3: But at the time I was. 313 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 1: Like very very new, and I was in a room 314 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: with three like grown men, being like, hey, here's my journal, journal, 315 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: and everyone's always like, oh, like are you okay? And 316 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: like I'm great because we're like writing about it. So 317 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: it's just like that is therapy. It genuinely is. And 318 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: I know artists say that all the time, but it's 319 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: like so true. 320 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 4: Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor, 321 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 4: and we're back on the Bobby Cast. 322 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 2: So that's the first level. The second level is once 323 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 2: you get through that initial what feels like awkwardness to you, 324 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 2: but a special writers that have been around a long time, 325 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 2: they understand the game. Yeah, you don't know what they understand. 326 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 2: At this point. You're just pouring your guts out, hoping 327 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 2: you're not being judged, and in the end you realize 328 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 2: nobody's judging because everybody's been through it, right, But so 329 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 2: you write the song. You get through that, but now 330 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 2: you've recorded it either a work tape or a demo. Yeah, 331 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 2: and so now you've got to play that for people 332 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 2: that weren't part of the right Oh my gosh. And 333 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 2: so now they're hearing for the first time whatever vulnerability 334 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 2: is that you wrote that. Also, it's tough to do. 335 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 3: Yeah. 336 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't anticipate, Like I didn't anticipate or prepare 337 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: myself for like it was one thing to be vulnerable 338 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: in the writing room and then that that album or 339 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: those songs turn into like kind of a business. 340 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 3: And then at the live show it was like, oh. 341 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: I'm telling a thousand people that I like want to 342 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: die sometimes that's weird. 343 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 3: It's weird. 344 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: But not only was I saying that, it was like 345 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: everyone in the room had something like had a piece 346 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: of each song, so it's really it's special. 347 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 2: And then that final layer of vulnerability is, yeah, I 348 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 2: want to get to release to the public because then 349 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 2: people to and I do this. I'm sure you do 350 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 2: this too. We interpret music differently just from hearing it. 351 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 2: We probably don't know the whole story unless we hear 352 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 2: the artists talk about it. So we're associating, however we 353 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 2: feel about that body of work to the body of work. 354 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 2: And like you said, a lot of people have stories 355 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 2: based off of your version of your story. When I 356 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 2: wrote my first book and even my second book a 357 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 2: little Bit, there's a lot of really personal stuff in there, 358 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 2: and it was extremely cathartic to write it, and it 359 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 2: felt vulnerable, but I was just writing, so nothing's gonna 360 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 2: hurt me if I'm just writing it down and only 361 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 2: I'm reading it. When I gave it to my editor, 362 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 2: I kind of felt, oh, I'm I getting judged. And 363 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 2: I was really anxious before it came out, the first 364 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 2: book came out, because I didn't want people to feel 365 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 2: sorry for me. 366 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a big thing for me too, really big thing. 367 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 2: Like I don't want your sympathy. I'm telling you my 368 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 2: story so hopefully you relate or you find a version 369 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 2: of your story that you can see in me and 370 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 2: understand you're not alone. That type thing. And what I 371 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 2: found was because after I put out my first book, 372 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 2: I wanted and I was toring to and stand up 373 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 2: and I would do meet greets and I was I 374 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 2: wouldn't say there was shame, because I maybe there was 375 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 2: shame that I felt people were judging me more than 376 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 2: because I had no shame what I wrote about, like 377 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 2: my parents dying of drug abuse or what I had 378 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 2: been through. There wasn't shame in what I did. But 379 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 2: hopefully I could get through how people felt about me. 380 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 2: But what I realized was everyone was like the things 381 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 2: that I worried most about, the people were like I 382 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,159 Speaker 2: felt that I appreciate that the most right Like the 383 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 2: things I was most scared of people hearing were the 384 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 2: things that resonated the most with people. I was shocked 385 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 2: by that. Is that how you feel too. 386 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: I was actually going to bring that exact thing up. 387 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 1: Is when I felt anxious about a song, I knew 388 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: that that was important to release. Because the things that 389 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 1: you feel anxious about people knowing about you, the things 390 00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: you're ashamed of, It's also very possible that the person 391 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: sitting next to you in the same room it's ashamed 392 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: of the exact same thing. And I really realized that 393 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: with narcissists, but especially Vanilla, it's been a really big one. 394 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: It's about like boundaries and saying no as like a girl. 395 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: So when I write a song and I'm anxious about 396 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: it or kind of makes me feel a little scared, 397 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: I know that that's what I should do. 398 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 3: If I don't, if I'm like, oh. 399 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: This is really cool, and I'm just like blah lah lah, 400 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: Like maybe this isn't, like, you know, the most important 401 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 1: thing to put on a record? 402 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 2: How do you do with boundaries? 403 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 3: I used to be terrible, terrible. I was the girl 404 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 3: that was like. 405 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: A people pleaser and I identified in it too, which 406 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: is really dangerous because I think it was part of 407 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: my personality, especially in high school and just all growing up, 408 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,919 Speaker 1: and I felt like the girl that anyone could you know, 409 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 1: come to if they needed help. Also, anyone could you 410 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: know someone could run me over with a car and 411 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: I'd be like, I'm so sorry, you know. But I 412 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 1: also didn't want to be perceived as like rude or 413 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: bossy or anything like that. 414 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 3: But now I think. 415 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 1: Music has, in doing it as a job, has really 416 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: forced me to like set boundaries. And I think I 417 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: used to look at boundaries or like saying no is 418 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 1: being rude or being mean, But now I think it's 419 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 1: like the biggest act of love you could do for somebody, 420 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: you know. 421 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 2: And it's incredibly efficient. 422 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: It is efficient, and it's really interesting to see now 423 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: in my life when I can, I'm able to set boundaries, 424 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: like how people react, because I think sometimes if you 425 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: set boundaries with people and they're like, they freak out 426 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: on you. And I think that kind of goes to 427 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: show who should be in your circle and who you 428 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 1: should kind of keep at an arm's length, you know. 429 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 2: I think that's a great point. The people that respect 430 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 2: my boundaries are the people that I understand are with 431 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 2: me for the right reasons. 432 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 3: Yes, totally same. 433 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: The big, big, big lesson this past year for me really, Yeah, 434 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: so twenty thirty five was a year of growth. 435 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 2: We're in't twenty six now, right? 436 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 3: Yeah? 437 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 2: So you're already full grown now? 438 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 3: Oh so full grown?

That was challenging that I wasn't anticipating. 598 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 2: What do you mean by that. 599 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 3: It's interesting to. 600 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: Go from music being something that you do for fun 601 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,719 Speaker 1: to all of the sudden it's your livelihood. 602 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 3: And when you go viral. 603 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: It's instant gratification. It's very stimulating. You are kind of 604 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 1: on like a cloud nine. And then if your next 605 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: video only gets a thousand views rather than two million views, 606 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, if this gave me my success, could 607 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:02,199 Speaker 1: it also take it away? And that that thought was 608 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 1: something that I struggled with a lot in the beginning, 609 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: and I was very conscious of what I was posting 610 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,360 Speaker 1: and and trying to, you know, still be as good 611 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 1: as I was when I was megaviral, and I don't know, 612 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:21,719 Speaker 1: you kind of just learn the longer that you do 613 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,479 Speaker 1: it that it's just it all comes in waves and 614 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: what's genuine and authentic will always work for you.

And then I met with him 738 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:14,839 Speaker 1: and it just the rest is history. I can't even 739 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: it went so fast. It was just like the blink 740 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: of an eye. 741 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 2: Did the Parma League guys put David Fanning onto you? 742 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 3: They did?

You should check her out. And 747 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 1: then David dammed me. And then Parmally, it was full circle. 748 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: Parmally had me feature on a song Forget You on 749 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,959 Speaker 1: their album, and that was really cool for me because 750 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,720 Speaker 1: I've been listening to their music since they started. 751 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 2: I think you said a minute ago you were in 752 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 2: a culinary class on zoom, but then you said, way 753 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 2: before that, you did know how. 754 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,439 Speaker 1: To cook I still do not a cook like I can. 755 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 1: I think I could if I needed to. But people 756 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 1: always as like what I eat or what I what 757 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 1: I ate? When I first moved here, like what did 758 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: I cook for myself? And I genuinely don't know? 759 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,400 Speaker 2: But you weren't. You take in a coulinary? 760 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: Right? 761 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 2: But it was also on I. 762 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 1: Would pause it so I could sing, Oh, how do 763 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 1: you pause a zoom? 764 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 3: I just turn off my camera in the mic and I. 765 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 2: Turned this and let them just keep going, and you 766 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,359 Speaker 2: would just sing, right, got it? That makes sense. 767 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,360 Speaker 1: I guess maybe I should make up lost time and 768 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,280 Speaker 1: take a culinary class one of these days. 769 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 2: No, at this point, you got enough going on, right, 770 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 2: You don't have to worry about that. Are you on 771 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 2: a bus yet? 772 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,439 Speaker 3: I was for this last tour, which was the first 773 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,279 Speaker 3: game changer, right, game changer? It was the first time 774 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 3: I I. 775 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 2: Thought about that, like, not just the bus, but I 776 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 2: don't unless you've been in it. It's hard to understand 777 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,479 Speaker 2: how much easier the bus makes life and why people 778 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 2: just don't grab buses because they're so expensive. 779 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 1: People don't comprehend the difference between like van touring and 780 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 1: bus touring. 781 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 2: And tell me about ban touring. 782 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: So before van touring, I was driving around in my 783 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,320 Speaker 1: suv around the country, opening for like Josh Turner and 784 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 1: Martina mcbre and Chase Rice and playing my piano and 785 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 1: queuing like tracks on my own, which I will never 786 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 1: do that again. It was a time it was like 787 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,359 Speaker 1: a piano recital for people before they you know, we're 788 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: singing songs about beer, so it's really funny. But after that, yeah, 789 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 1: I had a band for the first time, which was 790 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: really cool. And when you tour in a van, you 791 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,719 Speaker 1: you drive in the morning, you play the show, and 792 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,280 Speaker 1: right after the show if you're not you know, sometimes 793 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:33,879 Speaker 1: I would go on stage and sing with the artist 794 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 1: I was opening for. But then you drive through the 795 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,360 Speaker 1: night too and depending on the routing, which my routing 796 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 1: was always kind of kind of rocky. Remember there was 797 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 1: a show we drove. We were in New York and 798 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:52,440 Speaker 1: had to drive to I think it was Michigan for 799 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 1: a festival. 800 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,360 Speaker 2: And you guys have to drive and we had to. 801 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 1: I also was like, I know how to pull a 802 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 1: trailer a group doing that with horses and everything, and 803 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,759 Speaker 1: there was only it was me and my guitar player 804 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 1: and my drummer for a while, shifting, shifting, and people 805 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:12,839 Speaker 1: don't realize it takes a while to like find a team. 806 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 1: It takes a while to find a band, especially if 807 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 1: you don't grow up with people like playing music. 808 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 3: A lot of a lot of artists get the luxury 809 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:21,959 Speaker 3: of like. 810 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 1: Growing up with the people around them and the cruise 811 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,320 Speaker 1: and the band and everything. But I didn't know anybody, 812 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 1: so it took me a while to like find people 813 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 1: that fit. And so yeah, we ended up driving like 814 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 1: through the entire night, and we played the show late 815 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 1: at night, and then the next show was the festival. 816 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: So it was at like three. I was playing in 817 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,279 Speaker 1: a tent and you're exhausted, and I had no I 818 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,360 Speaker 1: had no sleep. I didn't sleep, and I got ready 819 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 1: in the passenger seat of the band. In the mirror 820 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,520 Speaker 1: was like this big and I remember that show. My 821 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 1: guitar strap like came off while I was playing the 822 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 1: rock chorus of It's Just Raining, and I like held 823 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,759 Speaker 1: it up with my leg. I was just holding out 824 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,360 Speaker 1: for dear life. And it went by and I was 825 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 1: like sleep deprived, and I was like, dang, the day 826 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: I go viral is the day I had no sleep. 827 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 2: So when you get a bus, how much does everything 828 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:08,440 Speaker 2: change everything? 829 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,759 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, this tour was so fun. You have 830 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:14,240 Speaker 1: time to like, I don't know.

And so it 918 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,919 Speaker 1: still translates in my style, especially on stage, to this day. 919 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,640 Speaker 1: But I went from, you know, living off of handy 920 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:25,319 Speaker 1: downs to like, all of a sudden, I need to 921 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,239 Speaker 1: buy outfit on stage that makes me look like an 922 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,839 Speaker 1: artist and makes me look cool, but also something that's 923 00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:35,719 Speaker 1: comfortable to like move around in. And yeah, I found 924 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,880 Speaker 1: myself not feeling comfortable with spending money on clothes. It 925 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,440 Speaker 1: felt like a sin. And now I just am like, 926 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:42,840 Speaker 1: if I like it, and I know I'm going to 927 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 1: look back at photos or videos of me in it 928 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,279 Speaker 1: and like it, then I just need to buy it. 929 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,000 Speaker 2: I got a step ahead of it because it was 930 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,160 Speaker 2: so odd for me to buy clothes for red carpets 931 00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 2: or television. And I got fortunate too. I had certain 932 00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 2: shows that would give me budgets for clothes, and so 933 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,160 Speaker 2: I buy the clothes that i'd never spend all and 934 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 2: keep the rest of the money.

But it's been very adamant that like 998 00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:07,239 Speaker 1: I should just pick country or pick rock or pick 999 00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:08,360 Speaker 1: old school inde, you. 1000 00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:08,799 Speaker 3: Know what I mean. 1001 00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:12,160 Speaker 1: It is old school, but it's funny because you'd think 1002 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,560 Speaker 1: that that would be old school, and especially within or not. 1003 00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:20,080 Speaker 1: Like I mean, people listen to all genres and so yeah, 1004 00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,560 Speaker 1: I'm just an Arizona girl that likes to sing sad songs. 1005 00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:25,759 Speaker 2: What instrument did you play? First? 1006 00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:30,160 Speaker 1: Piano? Yeah, I took lessons when I was younger, and 1007 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:36,880 Speaker 1: I never practice and I still can't read music. I 1008 00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,880 Speaker 1: would like do piano recitals with my sister and she 1009 00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:42,160 Speaker 1: would get every note perfect and she would practice. She 1010 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,920 Speaker 1: was good and she doesn't play anymore, but I would 1011 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,239 Speaker 1: just be like my pianos. I'd I'd miss a couple 1012 00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,359 Speaker 1: notes and just like laugh about it and be done. 1013 00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,839 Speaker 1: But I quit when I was I think in sixth grade, 1014 00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,600 Speaker 1: and then I really like taught myself after that because 1015 00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,879 Speaker 1: I would look up like songs that I liked to play, 1016 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:01,560 Speaker 1: and I would zoom it on people's fingers and then 1017 00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:06,359 Speaker 1: just copy it. But my grandpa, he's like he hears 1018 00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:09,520 Speaker 1: everything by ear. He's like he can't read music, but 1019 00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,919 Speaker 1: he just does everything by year. And I think that's 1020 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:14,360 Speaker 1: where I got that from. 1021 00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:15,400 Speaker 2: When did you play guitar? 1022 00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,279 Speaker 3: I think I was in sixth grade as well. 1023 00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:20,480 Speaker 2: Did you ask for a guitar? 1024 00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:22,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, for Christmas?

I'm sure I could, Yes, 1031 00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:37,359 Speaker 1: lots of zooming. I'm sure I could have done an 1032 00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,440 Speaker 1: easier way to learn, But I don't know why in 1033 00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:41,799 Speaker 1: my mind that was like the way that I needed 1034 00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:42,319 Speaker 1: to do it. 1035 00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,800 Speaker 2: So your last record came out in May.
