WEBVTT - Vagabon Disobeys Bridger 0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:14.440 Well, I invited you. Hear, I thought, I made myself 0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:21.239 perfectly clear. When you're a guess to my home, you 0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:27.440 gotta come to me empty. And I said, no, guess, 0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:34.360 your presences presence enough. I already had too much stuff, 0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:37.400 So how do you dare to surbey? 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:38.360 Mean? 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:52.120 I'm alone in my kitchen. I need to tell you something. 0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:55.800 I'm recording a little special thing to tell you that 0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:58.920 we will be having a second live show. The first 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:02.520 one in LA went beautifully, so wonderfully, better than I 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:04.880 could have possibly imagined. So I thought, why not do 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:06.840 a second live show, But let's do this one in 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:09.840 New York. We're doing one in New York. New York 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:13.920 is home to the Circuit City in Union Square that 0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:17.040 closed in two thousand and nine. But I believe the 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:19.200 city has other things to offer. And I was at 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:23.480 that liquidation sale. You were, You know, you could get CDs, DVDs, 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:26.600 Blu rays for the markdowns were ridiculous. It was a 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:29.640 memorable sale that you know that Circuit City is no 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:33.920 longer there. They closed down nationally, so don't try to 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:36.880 go to any circuit City. But what we really need 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:38.840 to talk about here is the live show. It's at 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:44.640 the Bellhouse the Bellhouse on October thirteenth at seven thirty pm. 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:47.840 Now this takes place in Brooklyn, New York. So that's exciting, 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:49.480 and it's going to be the fall, and it's going 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:51.000 to be I mean, is there a better time to 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:54.800 be in New York. Absolutely not. This is the prime 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:57.600 time to be in New York. So whether you're already 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.120 living there or you're looking for a little chance to 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:02.800 go on a trip, this is the time to do it. 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:06.080 And you should probably buy a ticket very soon. Because 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:09.520 the LA tickets went quickly, they sold out, and then 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:12.239 people were freaking out about not having a ticket. Well 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:14.320 that's not my fault. You know, there are only so 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:16.960 many seats in a house, and there are fire codes, 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.240 et cetera. You know, they a lot a certain amount 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:23.440 of tickets to audience members. This is how ticket sales work. 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.280 I'm explaining ticket sales to you. You've got to buy 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:29.840 a ticket quickly because New York you're competing not just 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.560 with your city. You've got you know, people pouring in 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:37.160 from New Jersey, You've got Philly people, people from Washington, 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:39.799 d c. Are probably already on the train headed towards 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.560 the venue. Boston. I mean that whole mess of the 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:46.440 East Coast. Everyone is going to be vuying for a ticket, 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:50.799 so get one quickly, don't lose out. We only have 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.880 one life to live. But basically you have to go 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:58.520 to the Bell houseeny dot com, the Bellhouse NY dot 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:03.200 com to get a ticket. Now, let me just refresh everyone. 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:08.280 That's October thirteenth, seven thirty pm the Bellhouse. I said, 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.400 No Gifts Live the second show. It's gonna be spectacular. 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.080 We're going to have an absolute ball. We always have 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.320 a ball. This will be no different. Come join me, 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:22.440 Come join my wonderful guests, and let's get onto the episode. 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:28.680 Welcome to I said no Gifts, I Bridger Wineger. We're 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:33.720 in the backyard. I mean, there's just been an earthquake. 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.560 There's just been an enormous earthquake, the biggest one I've 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:41.440 ever been through. I'm safe. I'm alive. If you're hearing this, 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:45.720 so that's some news for you. I think we released 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:48.480 this episode in like two weeks, so if you really cared, 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.760 you would have reached out sooner. But you know, you 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:55.320 do your thing. I don't care. I survived, I made 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:57.960 it through, and thank god I did because I adore 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:03.040 today's guest. I absolutely thinks she's wonderful. It's vagabond. Welcome 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.040 to I said, no gifts. How are you doing? 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:07.760 I am doing? Wow, I am shaken up. 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:09.600 I'm so thrown as you can tell. 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.840 I am very, very thrown all around. 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.280 We were talking about this right before we began recording. 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.839 But what do you do during an earthquake? I was 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:20.880 darting around and then I of course looked it up 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:24.159 after and the earthquake. People don't say anything about darting around. 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.719 Okay, wow, you're once up ahead of me for looking 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:31.920 it up. I just cried it, just started crying immediately. 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:36.520 But we both survived, so we proved earthquake HQ wrong. 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:41.480 Analise mentioned Onalise's dad is an expert, and apparently you're 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:45.320 supposed to get on the ground and maybe drag yourself 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:47.799 under a table or something, some sort of sturdy piece 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:51.040 of furniture. Okay, gotta remember this, but in the moment, 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:52.960 oh no, Onalise. 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:53.360 Sorry, one more thing. 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:56.360 It's very important hook your arm around the table leg 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.760 because if it moves. If the table moves, you want. 0:04:58.600 --> 0:04:59.280 To move with it. 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.800 Whole idea is that if something falls down that it 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.400 protects your head. Oh, so you put your armor on 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:08.640 the leg of the table so that if the table 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.039 moves in the shaking, it's still above you. 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:13.520 It doesn't like move somewhere else in the room. 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:16.360 Okay, So if I have to rearrange my furniture, I 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:18.680 don't want to survive. Forget it. 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:19.640 Just let me go. 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:23.640 Just so, is this the biggest one you've experienced? 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:24.040 It is? 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:25.719 Yeah, it's only my second one. 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:27.560 It's only your second earth question. 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:29.680 In life, and the biggest one by far. 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:31.000 What was the first one? 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:34.280 The first one was July fourth, and I thought it 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:39.080 was just a huge firework because I grew up not 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:43.320 anywhere near earthquakes, right, I was confused about what was happening. 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:46.559 But it was so mild. They just kind of felt 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:48.040 like you were on drugs. 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:48.320 Maybe. 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:50.760 Yeah, it's one of those small ones happen. You're like, Oh, 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.640 I might just have imagined, or maybe I have vertigo 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:57.320 or something. Yeah. I hadn't experienced one in a few years, 0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:59.960 but this was the biggest one I think I've ever felt, 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.880 outside of the first one I ever felt was in 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.520 first grade and I was in the shower with my brother. 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:09.720 Oh wow, And so that's a very vivid memory of 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:11.839 me just being naked with my brother in the shower. 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:13.720 My mom's screaming. 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:17.799 Well, the thing is that when that happens, the first 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:20.400 thing I want to do is like ask everyone if 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.479 they felt it. It's like I'm suddenly like going through 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.640 my phone like who should I text? Like who's here? 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:29.320 Who's who felt that? We're just like wait, process which. 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:32.960 Is well, you just want yeah, what what are we 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.159 trying to get from that? That's not going to help anything. 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:36.440 I guess. It's just like, well, I just want to 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:38.159 prove that this was a real thing that's happened. 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:39.680 It's like to validate your experience. 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:41.960 What if you heard all knows from everyone? 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:44.760 Then I would probably commit myself. 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:50.240 Really start questioning what's happening. Oh yeah, I mean we 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:54.000 might get an aftershock during this podcast. That's my hope 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:56.600 for us all to go through this together. So we'll 0:06:56.640 --> 0:07:00.160 grip the under the stable here, right, This feel like 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.640 a sturdy table, Yeah, I feel like and the only 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:06.279 thing above it, well that could this entire structure could collapse, 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:09.039 of course, but that feels like it's aluminum or something, 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.320 so I think it would be okay. And it would 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:12.960 be something to talk about for years to come. 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:13.520 It's true. 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:15.640 I love a good story. Yeah, I love a good 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.440 tell a good story. Have you been through any other 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:19.800 sorts of natural disasters? 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:25.640 No, okay, I mean does like Hurricane Sandy count Oh yeah? 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:30.520 Oh then yes, because you live in New York, you've 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:31.560 experienced hurricanes. 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:32.400 Oh yeah. 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:35.680 And a tree actually fell on top of my car. 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:40.160 Oh during Hurricane Sandy. And I was driving like a 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:42.800 ninety eight Honda, a cord that I saved all my 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:43.200 money to. 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:44.880 It was devastating. 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:47.880 That's horrible. A cord could last one hundred years exactly. 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:49.400 Its life was cut short. 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:51.760 Oh no, did the insurance cover anything? 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:52.120 No? 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.600 I mean, you know, if if I bought it up 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:58.800 at a police auction, okay, which is how you get cheap. 0:07:58.560 --> 0:07:59.880 Cars, it is a great time. 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:05.080 But I didn't have money to fix it. And if 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:06.960 I don't have money to if I'm buying a car 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:09.920 to police auction, I probably don't have the best car insurance, 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:13.560 you know, like I have the lowest lowest amount of 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:14.320 car joins. 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:14.520 You can have. 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:16.960 So did you just have it towed away? 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:20.440 It just kind of sat there. It just sat there 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:22.720 for long enough for me to save up the money 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:23.239 to fix. 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:25.720 The lost fantastic. Are you still driving? 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:28.080 I am still driving. I drive a minivan. 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:30.400 To have a car in New York, I know what 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:31.040 a luxury. 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:34.760 I've actually never not had a car in New York, 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:38.240 which I just came back from a month in New York. 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:43.200 And that experience of just the train as a New Yorker, 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:44.840 I hate the train. 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:47.840 You don't like to take it. I would rather not 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:48.320 go out. 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.920 I I mean, I'm right there with you. It's a 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:51.959 very bad feel that. 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:52.559 Yeah, it's not. 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:56.320 Especially during extreme weather. Yes, just being packed in with 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.680 I mean, I'm not saying anything. They were here, but 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:01.959 it's not for me, and I like to I mean 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:03.640 the number one thing for me is I like to 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:05.520 be able to listen to music at a loud volume. 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.319 Oh and so a car that is the idea of 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.839 space for that. That's my little private listening booth. 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.240 What's your favorite thing to listen to right now? What 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:14.199 are you rinsing? 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:16.720 Oh that's a great question. Do you know what a 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:20.079 song that I'm just listening to. It's an Australian band 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:23.800 called pop Filter. Okay, and there's a song called Fragile 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.800 that's got this kind of like and the song the 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.640 title Fragile is a very tough title to say aloud. 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:31.720 That sounds like a terrible song is going to happen. 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:35.440 It's not. It's like kind of this rolling bass and drums. 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:37.480 It's amazing. It's really really cool. 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:38.720 Okay Australia. 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.360 Yeah, I've been listening to that a lot recently. What 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:42.880 about you? 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:45.120 Pop filter is a great it's a great band name. 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.680 It's a great band name, but also very difficult to google. 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:48.960 If you're trying to find. 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:50.720 Music, you just find pop filters. 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:53.160 Yeah, exactly, just equipment. 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:55.440 What have I been listening to? 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:59.959 I've been listening to this shoegaze band from Detroit. They 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.840 just I think it's from the nineties, like they just 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:06.040 got a reissue. I don't think they're very popular in 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:09.040 their time or got very popular. But their name is 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:10.080 Majesty Crush. 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:12.280 Majesty Crush. I haven't heard of them. 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:14.600 Yeah, oh yeah you. This is amazing. 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.560 And they have a song called brand okay that I've 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:21.079 been rinsing and it's all about I think him being 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:22.880 like addicted to beer or something. 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:26.240 But it has so much emotion right right, It's really good. 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:28.960 And this is kind of in the my bloody Valentine 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:33.640 veins less washy. Okay, that makes sense right, it's more meary. 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:37.400 Yeah, it's one of the like the edgy, like harder sounds. 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:39.680 This sounds good to me. I like a nice just 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:42.640 my boyfriend frequently says what I like to listen to 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.840 sounds like he's in an MRI. He's getting a catskin. 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:50.880 Why do I understand exactly what them? 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:54.040 My music taste kind of fluctuates between that and like music, 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:55.160 you can roller skate too. 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.480 I love music, you can roller skate too. I like 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:00.080 making music you can rollers. 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.000 But see and you kind of your music kind of 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:05.120 fluctuates between all of That's why you're on this podcast. 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:08.600 You do kind of everything. I need someone to do music. 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:12.160 Yeah, it's confusing for some I am having a good time. 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:15.680 People want someone to do the exact same thing for 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:16.920 their entire career and die. 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.920 Yes, I'm going to struggle with that. People are very rare. 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:21.360 They have a hard time. 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.719 Yeah, it's I have a lot of interests. 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:27.439 Yeah, you should be able to express their different interests. 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:28.480 Exactly or else what's the fun? 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:31.079 And I think what's confusing is you express all of them. Well, 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:34.160 so people are like, they're confused. Yeah, they don't hear like, 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:35.959 well pick one because you can do all of them. 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:37.920 It's not like, oh, she can only do one thing. 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:42.000 Well, well, thank you for saying. I hope that's true. 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:45.480 What if I was just making some complete psycho now 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:49.560 I would be really impressed with myself, with my lying. Yeah, 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:51.440 I would be scared of myself at this. 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:57.360 Point because I believed you. 0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:00.280 You were just playing at the Skirball Center, right, How 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:00.880 was that? 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:01.760 That was amazing. 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.079 We haven't played much this year because last year was 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:07.240 a huge tour, so it's nice to I love playing 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:12.240 a museum. I love so tasteful, very classy. They put 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:16.760 you in a conference room, it's air conditioned, you get dinner. 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:20.560 You know, musicians were treated horribly, of course, so so 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:22.079 a museum they really know how to. 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.480 Treat it's because they don't know they can treat. 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:27.679 You like exactly exactly. It's really really good. We want 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:29.240 to uphold that. 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:31.320 I was telling I was telling my manager, I would 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:34.079 like to just do a museum circuit. 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:37.400 That's a great idea, and it feels like enough of 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:39.599 a gimmick that you could get it off the ground. 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:44.160 I've played enough that they are singularly like they treat 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:48.240 musicians like human beings. So so Scarball was really it 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.600 was really it was really fun, like under the night sky. 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:53.200 Oh, I'm sure it was beautiful. Oh, I would have 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.439 loved to go. I had tonsilidis at the time. What 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:57.120 last week? I had tonsilidis. 0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:58.000 That's insane. 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:01.440 Which all started with twenty four hours of thinking of'm 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:02.199 my f cancer? 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:05.480 Oh wow? Is that usually your first thought? 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.040 Well, what happened? Yeah, it was kind of. I woke 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:11.120 up in the middle of the night last I guess 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:13.559 ten days ago or eleven days ago now, and there 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:15.680 was like it was like, my throat feels a little swollen. 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:17.000 That's weird. And it was the middle of the night, 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:19.120 so it's of course like the worst possible thought. 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:19.400 Yeap. 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:21.440 And it was a Sunday, so I was like, well, 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:22.679 I can go to the urgent care. I go to 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:26.559 the urgent care and the doctor like feels my neck 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:31.120 and it was just on one side, and she was like, okay, 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:34.120 this is interesting. Maybe we could do some imaging. And 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.800 then she's like, do you have any family history of 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:40.320 lymphoma or cancer? And immediately like there's tears in my eyes. 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:42.840 I'm not sure. I'm not sure. She's like, well, we 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.040 should do some blood work. So the next thing, we're 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:48.320 doing blood work and she's sending me home. Keep in 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:50.640 mind she never looked in my throat. 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:54.280 Oh no, he just went straight to. 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.760 It, and yeah, the absolute worst thing. So for twenty 0:13:56.840 --> 0:14:00.440 four hours, I'm like waiting these results. But of course, 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:01.920 by the time the twenty four hours are up, I 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:03.920 have a fever and my throat is completely swollen. So 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:06.959 I'm like, okay, well maybe, yeah, but you think someone 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:10.480 would want to check the throat before hopping to blood work. 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:10.920 Yes. 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:13.440 I don't want to say what urgent care it was, 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:16.440 but I will say, if you want to get a 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:20.640 delicious but expensive breakfast and lost feelus. It's really you'll 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:22.600 be able to get one very quickly. 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:24.760 After this, oh exactly. 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:29.160 But I think I'm ready to soothe the entire concept 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:30.000 of urgent care. 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:30.600 Yeah. 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:32.800 I don't know that it's actually worth anybody's time. 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:33.720 I don't think so. 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:35.880 I mean, God bless everyone who works at urgent care, 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:37.520 but I've had some rough experiences. 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:40.600 I mean, you go there in a panic, stay full panic, 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:45.120 and they don't often help with the anxiety aspect of it. 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.480 No, no, no, no, just ramping it up. Yeah, might 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:51.200 give you some antibiotics. This time they gave me nothing. 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:54.120 Oh well, when I had COVID for the first time, 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:57.880 I went to urgent care because I thought I was dying. 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:00.720 Of course I don't have a history of getting very sick. 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:05.440 And I couldn't speak, and my voice is all I have. 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:07.720 Of course that's not so terrifying. He's like, now my 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:08.160 career is. 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:12.480 Exactly like, well, great, who am I if I can't speak? 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:15.119 Exactly have no other skills. 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:20.120 And I couldn't speak, so I couldn't communicate, and they 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:23.720 told me I had a throat infection due to the COVID. 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:27.520 And it was the scariest anxiety I've I've ever had, 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:30.840 because it's like it's kind of like, you know, you 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:35.640 know that film where the drummer loses his hearing sound 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:40.040 of metal? Yes, yes, that is like my biggest fear. 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:43.960 So the thought that I couldn't sing was just I 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:45.160 was in shambles for days. 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.920 But of course, though had the worst happened, you would 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:51.600 have become some sort of inspiration in another. 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:55.240 Way, exactly Hopefully I should call you every time I'm 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:58.800 in crisis. I need this restructure. 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:01.440 Yeah, I want to become like a crisis manager, just 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:03.320 like but I forced the person to become sort of 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:06.120 a new inspiration. We don't change their image. 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:09.880 They inspire if we don't specify what exactly. 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:13.520 But you're going to overcome and you're going to inspire. 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:17.440 What was the last time you were sick? Have you 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:18.160 been sick this year? 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:18.880 I have not? 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:24.760 Okay, well, actually that's not does food poisoning count, of course? Okay, 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:25.800 then yes I've been sick. 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:27.080 Who food poisoned you? 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:29.280 Well, the city of Lisbon? 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:30.320 Oh, Lisbon? 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:35.080 Yeah, Lisbon in general? Was it fish? Oysters? 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:39.520 Oh? I mean oysters. You can't go anywhere with them. 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:43.720 Yeah, I don't think i'll ever I ever will again. 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:46.520 Yeah, that's a tough one to get over. 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:47.960 Yeah, that's uh. 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:50.720 And oysters, I just I don't think that they're worth 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:53.760 the price of admission. Yeah, I think that they're Every 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:55.320 time I have one, I was like that was fine. 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:58.520 It's never a magical experience. Or I'm like I'm glad 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:02.560 I risked horrible food poisoning for Yeah, that is true. Wow, 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:03.480 how long were you sick for? 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:07.600 I was sick for forty eight hours. Okay, like violently 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:10.800 for forty eight hours. And I thought I would be 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:15.439 okay because I see the water, like I think, like, 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.639 you know, I would never have an oyster in New York, 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:20.800 you know, So I thought I was being pretty savvy 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:21.400 about it. 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:25.560 I was wrong to be sick with an ocean view. 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:27.240 It's cruel. 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:29.479 Were you on tour or on vacation. 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:31.439 I was doing an artist residency. 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:37.879 Oh I know, I know it was, and it's a 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:40.480 place I really love. I considered moving there, but every 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:43.040 time I'm somewhere, I'm like, I could just leave it 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:43.600 all behind. 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:47.760 So it does kind of feel that way. If I'm 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:49.800 like in a nice place and I've had one cup 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:51.920 of coffee, I'm like, I'm ready to start my life here. 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:55.520 I don't need anything but the items in the suitcase. 0:17:55.640 --> 0:18:00.800 Exactly what this residency where you stay in like a 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:02.679 convent or what was the situation? 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:06.480 Well, I fortunately got to choose my own housing. So 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:11.160 I found this beautiful place in the historic neighborhood where 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.360 no cars were allowed. I mean I had to fly, 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:16.359 I had to like take so many stairs every day 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:21.119 to come in and out. But it was gorgeous and beautiful, 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:24.800 and the place where I was working on a piano 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:30.320 album that hasn't come out. This is an exclusive, an exclusive, 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:32.879 and the space where I was working was just a 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:35.399 five minute walk, so it kind of felt like campus. 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:37.880 Oh that sounds really nice. 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:40.479 Just walking home for lunch and then walking back to 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:42.000 the right to the studio. 0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:43.840 Now, did you have to go up and down the 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:45.080 stairs when you had food poisoning? 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:46.480 Yes? 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:52.560 Oh, because of course I don't speak Portuguese. You don't 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:56.680 realize how truly alone you are until you are sick 0:18:56.840 --> 0:19:00.960 in a country that you don't live in. That all 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:05.439 was I was rethinking everything. I don't know how to 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:06.920 get around. Is there a target? 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:09.240 Right? Of course, not. 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:11.200 Not to sound overly American, I'm only like a little 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:15.439 bit American, but I just didn't know where to get anything. 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:17.600 Was there like did you have to go to a pharmacy? 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:18.160
