Speaker 1: The song's on the side. What's up?
Speaker 2: You're gonna hear the buzz because we're at a different studio.
Speaker 2: Then we actually recorded today's interview in because I did
Speaker 2: something very stupid.
Speaker 1: Hello Diamond, Hi, you're laughing because of what I did.
Speaker 3: I don't think you should. You shouldn't blame yourself. It's
Speaker 3: type situation.
Speaker 2: No, I appreciate you trying to take accountability for it,
Speaker 2: but I did it absolutely. So you're going to hear
Speaker 2: an interview today from Ray, who I thought was awesome.
Speaker 1: I really liked her.
Speaker 2: She has a song coming out called where is My Husband?
Speaker 2: Isn't that the question so many women want to know?
Speaker 3: I said it out loud yesterday and I thought about it.
Speaker 3: I was like, the Ray song. Yeah, but no, Yeah.
Speaker 2: She's amazing, She's wonderful, she's a superstar. She's beautiful, she's talented,
Speaker 2: and she is struggling to find a man.
Speaker 1: We're going to talk to her a lot about that.
Speaker 2: But after the interview, I was trying to tell Diamond
Speaker 2: a secret, so I shut off all of the microphones
Speaker 2: and I took them out of a little system it's
Speaker 2: called take taking them offline. I took him out of offline,
Speaker 2: which means nothing was recording. Then Diamonds and I sat
Speaker 2: there and did a solid, amazing, maybe thirty five minute
Speaker 2: podcast that was supposed to wrap around this Ray interview,
Speaker 2: and then when I went to save it, there was
Speaker 2: no audio because I shut off all the mics because
Speaker 2: I was telling her a secret. Just wasted your time.
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry, our time, our time. Yeah, but I just,
Speaker 2: you know, not my strongest move. So now we're in
Speaker 2: a different studio recording.
Speaker 1: Hello.
Speaker 2: Hi, I'm excited for this podcast. I say that all
Speaker 2: the time. But again, I just really liked her and
Speaker 2: I thought she was cool, and I think she's.
Speaker 4: Going to be a superstar. Oh for sure.
Speaker 3: Some would argue she already is. Yeah, did you know
Speaker 3: the story behind her first album? Tell me the fact
Speaker 3: that she was signed to a label, it really didn't
Speaker 3: go anywhere. So when she was releasing this album, which
Speaker 3: I think came out almost two years ago, now I
Speaker 3: can't I don't want to mess anybody up. She took
Speaker 3: the promo pictures in front of the office building that
Speaker 3: her label was so like the former label. She took
Speaker 3: the pictures there and people were like, oh no, I
Speaker 3: don't know who Ray is, but I'm into it now
Speaker 3: because this is like some messy shit like I loved it.
Speaker 2: I always take for granted how much we know about
Speaker 2: the ins and outs now of the music business, and
Speaker 2: how so many people, young artists who are coming up,
Speaker 2: their goal is to be signed by a major label.
Speaker 2: That's all they want, but they don't understand what comes
Speaker 2: with that, and what comes with that which we have
Speaker 2: seen now over and over with different artists is a
Speaker 2: lot of these big labels and diamond I think you
Speaker 2: know more about this than I do. But when people
Speaker 2: sign with some of these big labels, they'll sign a three.
Speaker 1: Album, four album deal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that means you owe this out this label four albums.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean that they're necessarily going to help you
Speaker 2: or market you or get behind you. And there's a
Speaker 2: solid chance that some of your best work, you're going
Speaker 2: to give them four albums of your best stuff that
Speaker 2: never sees the light of day because they decide there's
Speaker 2: another artist that's more important at this time, and we're
Speaker 2: going to put all of our resources behind that artist.
Speaker 2: And in a lot of ways, people will say they
Speaker 2: keep you in kind of like a musical slavery situation
Speaker 2: because these artists are saying, well, I don't want to
Speaker 2: release my best stuff if I'm not a top priority.
Speaker 1: You guys told me I was going to be, but
Speaker 1: now here I am not being one.
Speaker 2: And that is why you see so many artists going independent,
Speaker 2: which we're also going to talk to Ray about. But
Speaker 2: it's a wild, wild business. And if you know the
Speaker 2: story of TLC, which maybe at this point a lot
Speaker 2: of people don't, TLC at the peak of their success,
Speaker 2: when No Scrubs was out waterfalls, they were bankrupt, they
Speaker 2: had no money. Because at the same time, these labels
Speaker 2: will say, oh my gosh, we're going to give you
Speaker 2: a ten million.
Speaker 1: Dollar up front fee.
Speaker 2: But a lot of people don't understand that from that
Speaker 2: ten million dollars comes every single thing that you're going
Speaker 2: to do, and that label is keeping track of it.
Speaker 2: So you think you're taking a first class flight on
Speaker 2: the label. Oh no, so that's getting detected from your
Speaker 2: ten million dollars. You think you're staying in a nice
Speaker 2: hotel room, Yeah you are. You're paying for it. And
Speaker 2: at the end of that ten million dollars, they're going
Speaker 2: to come and say, well, now you owe these four albums.
Speaker 1: And you get no money for it. It's a wild business.
Speaker 3: That happened to Tony Braxton too. The first time she
Speaker 3: filed for bankruptcy.
Speaker 4: The second time.
Speaker 3: I feel bad for it too. The second time was
Speaker 3: because of an insurance issue, but like, yeah, she like
Speaker 3: was she did a residency and she got sick because
Speaker 3: she has like lupas and it affected her heart, and
Speaker 3: the insurance company didn't cover basically the rest of the residency.
Speaker 3: They're like, no, we're not going to cover it because
Speaker 3: we know, we knew that you had lupas and this.
Speaker 4: Was a part of the contract or something.
Speaker 3: And she had to file bankruptcy because she couldn't afford
Speaker 3: to pay everyone for the rest of the time that
Speaker 3: the residency was.
Speaker 4: Supposed to be in Vegas.
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's messed up.
Speaker 2: It is wild the way these major labels treat a
Speaker 2: lot of their artists. And don't even get me started
Speaker 2: on Diddy and the Bad Boy des Stop.
Speaker 1: They were terrible.
Speaker 4: That's horrible.
Speaker 2: I won't get into that, but please do yourselves a
Speaker 2: favor of you're bored and look up Diddy's contract deals.
Speaker 2: He would essentially sign people.
Speaker 1: Blow him up for like a song.
Speaker 2: Keep every single penny that they ever made, and then
Speaker 2: never release them from their contract and also never release more.
Speaker 4: Music from them.
Speaker 5: I'm sick.
Speaker 1: It's sick, but that's what happens, you know. Fame. They
Speaker 1: say fame, we're strug known to man, it really is.
Speaker 1: People just find things.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's sad.
Speaker 1: I would any day of the week take money over fame.
Speaker 4: Oh for sure.
Speaker 1: I don't care about the fame.
Speaker 4: Are you kidding?
Speaker 1: Please just give me the money. You know.
Speaker 3: My goal in life is to go to Central Park,
Speaker 3: strike up a conversation with an old lady, just become
Speaker 3: her best friend, and then when she dies, like, be
Speaker 3: surprised that I'm in her will.
Speaker 1: Wait, is that what you're doing to me?
Speaker 4: No, you're not old.
Speaker 3: I'm talking about like sixty five. Her daughter wants nothing
Speaker 3: to do with her.
Speaker 1: Sixty five, a couple of years older than Elvis. Do
Speaker 1: you think he's gonna die?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 4: Why do you think I work here?
Speaker 2: One of my favorite conversations that we have had, and
Speaker 2: we had it on the Big Show as well, is
Speaker 2: that there are people here who genuinely believe that when
Speaker 2: Elvis is done here, he's gonna leave them.
Speaker 1: Millions of dollars.
Speaker 4: That's insane.
Speaker 1: Why would that ever happen?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think that we romanticize money the way that we
Speaker 3: romanticize like actual relationships, and like the thought that someone
Speaker 3: could be so nice and kind to leave you money,
Speaker 3: not because he's dead, because he just doesn't want to
Speaker 3: do this show anymore, is insane.
Speaker 4: But in a fairy tale world that would be amazing.
Speaker 1: Sure, if it rained down from the clouds, that'd be
Speaker 1: awesome too. Yeah, same would you think?
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't understand. Also, if he's not giving
Speaker 4: you the money now, you think.
Speaker 3: He's gonna give it what he decides to walk away
Speaker 3: like he sees you every day.
Speaker 2: The logic behind it is what's weirder for me because
Speaker 2: the people who believe this think it's because well, you know,
Speaker 2: when he's done, then we're all screwed, and you.
Speaker 1: Know what about us, like he's responsible?
Speaker 4: Thank you sick?
Speaker 2: I would say, one would argue that what he has
Speaker 2: given you over the last thirty years, not me, but
Speaker 2: others over the last thirty years was a career that
Speaker 2: had a whole lot of perks and great vacation and
Speaker 2: decent pay for thirty years. So like, why would he
Speaker 2: leave you more? At that point, that's wild work.
Speaker 1: But okay, Scotty, whatever you mean. Yeah, sure, that is crazy.
Speaker 1: So we have a couple of things that we want
Speaker 1: to talk about, but I think before we get to that,
Speaker 1: maybe we should get to Ray because we loved her.
Speaker 2: Yep, I am here with Ray, and I have to
Speaker 2: start by saying I absolutely love you. And so many
Speaker 2: people were stoked when they heard that you were coming in.
Speaker 2: They're like, I'm gonna come say hi. I said, no,
Speaker 2: you're not. I'm gonna do this first, and.
Speaker 1: Then maybe you can come say hi. Oh, you have
Speaker 1: a lot of fans in the building. Wow, you have
Speaker 1: a lot of really cool.
Speaker 2: Stuff going on, and I want to get to all
Speaker 2: of that, and then, of course, you know, talk to
Speaker 2: you about life in general, specifically life surrounding this. So
Speaker 2: you have a single out right now, which is what
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about first, called where is my Husband?
Speaker 2: All caps, yes and exclamation and an exclamation mark. Okay,
Speaker 2: where is your husband?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 5: I would love to know where is he?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 5: Yeah, where is he? I don't know?
Speaker 6: But I love this song and you know, it's kind
Speaker 6: of does a three in one job. I guess of
Speaker 6: you know, being a very nice, happy kind of vibe.
Speaker 6: Like I love the musicality of this song. I love
Speaker 6: like the how it feels to perform on stage. But
Speaker 6: also you know, also it is a marketing campaign, you know,
Speaker 6: because yeah, like there comes a time we've got to
Speaker 6: take matters into your own hands for five years congratulations, right, yeah,
Speaker 6: you know, and you know what on a serious not
Speaker 6: a work on self love, like this is my chapter
Speaker 6: of self love, which is really nice because you know,
Speaker 6: self love is hard to achieve and do the work
Speaker 6: in that area.
Speaker 5: So right, we're getting deep very quickly.
Speaker 2: I like it, okay, So to your point, it is
Speaker 2: really hard to achieve, but especially when you're in the
Speaker 2: public eye. When you once loved yourself and all these
Speaker 2: things that you loved about yourself, now when you see
Speaker 2: it scrutinized under the microscope and under the public eye,
Speaker 2: and it becomes a totally different thing.
Speaker 1: Right, Have you had those issues?
Speaker 6: I definitely have, and actually have just completely removed myself
Speaker 6: from those issues because I now have just two I
Speaker 6: have two phones, so my old iPhone has become my
Speaker 6: social media phone. I can't even access that phone. Good
Speaker 6: for you, I can't even type it. I don't know
Speaker 6: what the password is. I couldn't look into my Instagram.
Speaker 6: I don't have the password. I don't know the pastord
Speaker 6: for my TikTok, I don't have the pastor for my
Speaker 6: Twitter or my Facebook and all of the above, because
Speaker 6: if I did, those things are so addictive. They've learned
Speaker 6: on likes and dislikes so well, like just lock you
Speaker 6: in there, do you know what I mean? And I
Speaker 6: know you should never look at the comments, but I'll
Speaker 6: read the video and I'll click on the comments and
Speaker 6: someone be like, why is she doing that?
Speaker 5: And I'll be like, oh my god.
Speaker 2: Right, there could be a thousand positive comments and you'll
Speaker 2: see that one asshole.
Speaker 1: Oh I said something about like a stray hair, and that's.
Speaker 5: All you can think about it, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Why are we like that?
Speaker 6: Someone commented on my fannin performances out there. I'll watch
Speaker 6: it the comment They're like, where's her energy? I was like,
Speaker 6: what do you mean? I'm giving everything I can be giving.
Speaker 6: And then I'm like, is it because I wasn't smiling enough?
Speaker 6: Should I have been smiling more? But it's hard to
Speaker 6: sing when you're smiling. When you're singing that fast and
Speaker 6: then your brain's not tangenting. And that's why I have
Speaker 6: two phones.
Speaker 1: And that's listen.
Speaker 2: We talk about this all the time, especially on this podcast.
Speaker 2: That person who said where's the energy is sitting on
Speaker 2: a couch somewhere doing nothing, criticizing the person who is
Speaker 2: doing something. Yet we let that get to us all
Speaker 2: the time. It's this ridiculous poison and all of us
Speaker 2: fell victims to it.
Speaker 1: I do it all the time. Yeah, comment section is
Speaker 1: the seventh realm of Hell's.
Speaker 5: A that's a great way to describe it.
Speaker 6: Always sometimes there's always a good one in there that
Speaker 6: would make me chuckle. So there's some good people out
Speaker 6: there who provide a good laugh.
Speaker 5: But it's just too risky.
Speaker 2: I say all the time. If you're going to roast me,
Speaker 2: please be funny about it. Yeah right, give me something
Speaker 2: out of this besides a little bit of self hatred.
Speaker 2: Just make me chuckle just for a second.
Speaker 4: I agree.
Speaker 2: So, Lookod, I'm glad we're on the same piece there,
Speaker 2: But I'm also really impressed that you are now completely
Speaker 2: off of all of that and living a real life.
Speaker 2: How has it changed things for you?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 5: Massively, so now I'll do monitored time.
Speaker 6: Like so if I'm going to look on social media,
Speaker 6: It'll be like ten minutes and then I'll give me
Speaker 6: the phone back and I'm like okay, And then it
Speaker 6: means with that time, you know, I'm doing other things.
Speaker 6: I'm working on myself. I'm writing, I'm reading, I'll go
Speaker 6: for a walk. I have even got into a thing
Speaker 6: of like leaving the house to go and get a coffee.
Speaker 6: It's just a small thing, but actually even just the
Speaker 6: routine of going for a walk and taking yourself to
Speaker 6: go and get a cop those little things, it's just
Speaker 6: actually a form of self love, you know, seeing the.
Speaker 1: Sky, breathing outside outside, seeing a tree, maybe a dog, exactly,
Speaker 1: it's good stufsing, yeah, the little little by little you know.
Speaker 1: But I gotta ask you. So you're looking for a husband.
Speaker 1: Where is your husband? Exclamation point?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 1: But now you're taking yourself off social media? Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1: So in a dream world, how do we meet this husband?
Speaker 3: Do you know what?
Speaker 6: I'm an old fashioned girl, Okay, I would really love
Speaker 6: to meet my person in real life.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And obviously you know this is the social era
Speaker 6: of digital meeting, and there's nothing wrong with that at all.
Speaker 6: I just think I love, like, you know, the idea
Speaker 6: of just I'm sitting at a bar. I'm just having
Speaker 6: a drink and I'm maybe reading a book, and I'm
Speaker 6: not I'm minding my business. I'm not looking for anyone's attention,
Speaker 6: do you know what I mean? And then all of
Speaker 6: a sudden someone sits next to me like, Hello, I
Speaker 6: read that book.
Speaker 5: Yesterday or something.
Speaker 6: Do you know what I mean? You're like, Oh, did
Speaker 6: you know the next sentence you're about to read is this?
Speaker 5: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm getting this is you know?
Speaker 3: I mean?
Speaker 6: It's just like an idea, like just some beautiful in
Speaker 6: real life thing.
Speaker 2: So it's so funny that you said you're at a
Speaker 2: bar reading a book, because I just had a debate
Speaker 2: with one of my good friends about this because we
Speaker 2: went to a bar and there was a man there
Speaker 2: having a drink with a book, and initially.
Speaker 1: All of the girls that we were with were like, Oh,
Speaker 1: a man with a book. I love it.
Speaker 2: That man didn't turn the page one time. He was
Speaker 2: a faker and a fraud. And my guy friend who
Speaker 2: was with us said, that's what guys do. Any dude,
Speaker 2: in a bar with a book is a liar, But
Speaker 2: a woman in a bar with a book not a liar.
Speaker 1: There's a level of hypocrisy.
Speaker 6: No, he didn't turn the page one.
Speaker 1: Not one time there. I mean we were there for
Speaker 1: an hour. No, yeah, I mean not one.
Speaker 6: Time, stating it was because of face value. Like seeing that.
Speaker 5: Ye love that?
Speaker 2: But is it weird reading a book in a bar?
Speaker 2: Like a is loud and noisy, and you want to
Speaker 2: read a book.
Speaker 5: I will see you.
Speaker 6: I have never read a book in a bar, but
Speaker 6: I would like to be someone who reads a book
Speaker 6: in a bar. But maybe I don't want to be
Speaker 6: a person who reads the book in the bar.
Speaker 1: After this conversation, Well, I'm just not sure that it's
Speaker 1: like a real thing. I think people look like they're
Speaker 1: doing it. I don't think they're actually doing it.
Speaker 6: What I do like to do is take a like
Speaker 6: and write. But I like the people watch.
Speaker 5: See that's good.
Speaker 6: I've got my own and I'll sit there and I'll
Speaker 6: be like, and I'd like to like write and describe
Speaker 6: someone in detail, just like through words and come up
Speaker 6: with cool.
Speaker 5: Member, that's just weird.
Speaker 2: No, I think that's actually perfect. You're watching and then
Speaker 2: you're writing about it, right, you're a writer.
Speaker 1: Right, so right, but let me ask you this. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's do it right now.
Speaker 2: We're going to manifest the dream man if you can
Speaker 2: build a bear and this is your husband.
Speaker 1: Okay, what are we looking for?
Speaker 6: Okay, so we're looking for someone who is funny? Yeah,
Speaker 6: I know every girl says that on like love islan
Speaker 6: Like my type is, you know, like funny, but like
Speaker 6: I would like someone who's funny. Someone disciplined. I really
Speaker 6: need that because discipline is my weakness in life. Do
Speaker 6: you know what I mean? Someone who's gonna be like, right,
Speaker 6: we need to do this.
Speaker 5: Just are good for us.
Speaker 6: Come on, get out of bed. Let's go and do
Speaker 6: things that are good for us.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 6: Okay, someone who loves music. I need someone very passionate
Speaker 6: about music because I love music. But they can't be
Speaker 6: a rapper because that's not no not no, no never.
Speaker 1: Do you have a oh never again? So there's a
Speaker 1: reason that you say not a rapper.
Speaker 6: I've just yeah, just no okay. Yeah, so yeah, but
Speaker 6: they need to love music. I think maybe yeah, they
Speaker 6: need to really like not mind sitting there and hearing
Speaker 6: me be like, listen to this detail about this song
Speaker 6: and you listen.
Speaker 5: To this.
Speaker 6: So that Yeah, so there's that, and I need my
Speaker 6: final one is a communicator. Words of affirmation is my
Speaker 6: love language.
Speaker 1: Ah okay yeah, and you.
Speaker 6: Know some people are very mysterious and quiet and that's
Speaker 6: really nice. But like I'm literally gonna be sat there
Speaker 6: like what are you thinking? Do you even like me?
Speaker 5: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: I need your such a spiral?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I just need words like you look really nice today,
Speaker 6: thank you, and give me some words. You know, some
Speaker 6: people for some people like my sister's like acts of service,
Speaker 6: you know what I mean?
Speaker 5: So like me?
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, like.
Speaker 6: So me like moving this stuff from the dishwashers like
Speaker 6: an act of so that will really mean a lot
Speaker 6: for me. Like I couldn't care less about something like that,
Speaker 6: do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, so yeah, those are my qualities.
Speaker 1: Okay. I liked that you didn't say one word about looks.
Speaker 2: Does that matter? I mean I know, no matter what
Speaker 2: anyone says, looks matter. But is there a type that
Speaker 2: you are going for?
Speaker 5: No, honestly, I don't. I don't think so.
Speaker 6: I actually think ironically, like a very pretty pretty pretty
Speaker 6: boy isn't typically my type the same? Yeah, Like, I
Speaker 6: don't want you to be taking longer to get ready
Speaker 6: than me, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Never?
Speaker 6: And I don't take that long to get ready, like
Speaker 6: like thirty minutes okay, and that's like a full but
Speaker 6: if we're going for it.
Speaker 5: Okay, my hair takes an hour and a half.
Speaker 1: Your hair, it's amazing.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but that's when Alex is doing my hair, my
Speaker 6: hair on a normal day, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 5: Anyway?
Speaker 6: Yeah? So yeah, it looks aren't necessarily the top of
Speaker 6: my list. No, charisma and connection and communication.
Speaker 1: That's important stuff. Sound another song?
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I'm not going to start.
Speaker 2: We will listen to your single day Okay. So now
Speaker 2: social media you're not on obviously. Are you on any
Speaker 2: dating apps while you're going through the spendrum?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 5: Do you know what's funny?
Speaker 6: I did, like years ago, I was on that dating
Speaker 6: app Raya that everyone was on, which was a time
Speaker 6: nothing good happened for me on that app at all,
Speaker 6: Like zero positive things occurred on that app. So I
Speaker 6: left that behind. Yeah, and since then, no, Yeah.
Speaker 1: But do you go on dates or are you just.
Speaker 6: Someone asked me this yesterday. They were like, when was
Speaker 6: the last date you went on? And I was like, oh,
Speaker 6: like it's been years with a capital y, like it's
Speaker 6: been a really long time. Yeah, like maybe like three
Speaker 6: years ago since I went on an actual date.
Speaker 5: And that guy turned out to you.
Speaker 2: Absolute jack guess dickhead, you can say it is rick
Speaker 2: a prick?
Speaker 5: Yes, so are you?
Speaker 4: Have you noticed?
Speaker 2: And I'm going to get back to your music in
Speaker 2: a second, but this is a part of our podcast.
Speaker 1: We're always because Diamond is single.
Speaker 4: Also, he was awful.
Speaker 6: Wait, I've gone back there, you know, when you're just there,
Speaker 6: We're gonna let that go.
Speaker 2: Well, if you're there for a second, what do you
Speaker 2: think was the most awful thing? Like, what was it
Speaker 2: for you? That was the absolutely deal breaker?
Speaker 6: In fact, he was seeing thirteen other girls at the
Speaker 6: same time. There's that, do you know what I mean? Yeah,
Speaker 6: we'll leave it at that. Okay, we're gonna leave it.
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, we're gonna let it go.
Speaker 1: Was he a wrapper?
Speaker 5: No, he.
Speaker 1: Wasn't a rapper.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: So Diamond is single also, and we are always talking
Speaker 2: about the dating scene now because she says there's poop
Speaker 2: in the dating pool.
Speaker 1: It's just the worst ever.
Speaker 2: You don't want to be part of this right now,
Speaker 2: right But she's only dating here in the United States,
Speaker 2: specifically in New York City. You get to go around
Speaker 2: the world and travel. Have you noticed differences in men
Speaker 2: based on where you are, do you not?
Speaker 6: Unfortunately, I'm just not the girl to ask about this
Speaker 6: because literally, I work and I go home, like I'm
Speaker 6: either in my hotel room or at a studio or
Speaker 6: on a stage, and then I go home.
Speaker 5: I'm so boring.
Speaker 2: So I actually sounds pretty awesome, Okay, good, Yeah, And
Speaker 2: I think that a lot of people would like to
Speaker 2: be part of something like that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's just like work and sleeping and self care.
Speaker 6: But yeah, I think I would like to be someone
Speaker 6: who goes outside to just see what's going on a
Speaker 6: bit more. So I'm going to try and do that
Speaker 6: a bit in twenty twenty six. We'll be on tour
Speaker 6: twenty twenty six, so I'm going to try and go
Speaker 6: outside on our days off.
Speaker 2: That's going to be a lot for you in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty six. Yeah, you are touring, Yeah, and on your
Speaker 2: days off, you think you're gonna venture.
Speaker 6: You haven't maybe once a month you know, a little
Speaker 6: trip outside.
Speaker 1: So tell me about the tour. Are you excited.
Speaker 6: I'm very excited. I'm very excited. I'm planning big things,
Speaker 6: dramatic things. I think it's been really exciting the last
Speaker 6: couple of two three years. I feel like I've just
Speaker 6: been living on stage and during that time, I've realized
Speaker 6: I just live for musical drama and I'm really going
Speaker 6: to bring that to this tour and really excited for that. Also,
Speaker 6: my two little sisters are opening for me, so it's
Speaker 6: going to be like a whole family affair. We're going
Speaker 6: to be on the road, traveling the world together, and
Speaker 6: I'm so excited about that.
Speaker 5: And they're so talented. And I also like support gigs
Speaker 5: are hardcore.
Speaker 6: Like I've done a lot of support gigs in my life,
Speaker 6: and it is hard call like people yawning in your face,
Speaker 6: people like chatting and looking in the eye and like
Speaker 6: chatting and just being.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean, Like paying attention.
Speaker 6: You have to fight to like win a crowd over.
Speaker 6: And I'm excited for my sisters to have like a
Speaker 6: not have to experience that necessarily for their first tour
Speaker 6: because I'm going to bully my audience into being kind
Speaker 6: to them, you know, like being respectful to my sisters.
Speaker 6: I'm a very protective older sister. But yeah, I'm very
Speaker 6: excited for that. So that's that's going to be really beautiful.
Speaker 6: But yeah, we're going to be on the road for
Speaker 6: quite a lot of time.
Speaker 2: Do you have a place that you're most excited to
Speaker 2: see that you have not been to yet.
Speaker 5: That I haven't been to.
Speaker 6: I'm really excited to perform in Barcelona, which is random
Speaker 6: one that I've said, but I didn't know that we had.
Speaker 6: We're doing an arena there. It's just really exciting to
Speaker 6: like think about that. It's a Spanish speaking country, you know,
Speaker 6: and often when we tour Europe, we we I don't
Speaker 6: know why we miss out like all the sunny countries
Speaker 6: we just go to, like Amsterdam and Stockholm. But it's
Speaker 6: really exciting to be like, oh, for the first time,
Speaker 6: we're going to be going to Italy and Spain and
Speaker 6: places that I've never really toured before on my own.
Speaker 6: So I'm just excited that we can even sell tickets
Speaker 6: in that side of the world.
Speaker 5: It's really exciting.
Speaker 2: So hearing you say all of this and then thinking
Speaker 2: about how you're saying, you know, maybe you're gonna go out,
Speaker 2: maybe you're gonna beet some people.
Speaker 1: You're looking for your husband. Pause, You're going to so
Speaker 1: many fabulous places.
Speaker 2: There are going to be so many men around, Like,
Speaker 2: maybe you don't need a husband yet, just date a
Speaker 2: bunch of people from Italy and one from Greece and.
Speaker 6: From I don't have time for any more of anything
Speaker 6: that I've been through in the past.
Speaker 5: I'm just I'm so over it.
Speaker 6: Like you said the daint scene, it's wild out there,
Speaker 6: Like I don't I'm just looking for one like I'm
Speaker 6: over it. I've tried No, Like, no, I'm not going
Speaker 6: through any of that rubbish again.
Speaker 5: So be about it or just keep it moving.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I understand this.
Speaker 5: I didn't passionate.
Speaker 2: No, Listen, I am in a long distance relationship, so
Speaker 2: it's like a fifty to fifty type of thing, like
Speaker 2: we're half dating but he's not here. So you meet
Speaker 2: people all the time, and I gotta say, I'm with
Speaker 2: all of you. Danielle over there in the corner, shee
Speaker 2: is a single right now. Also, everyone is saying the
Speaker 2: same thing.
Speaker 1: What about guys, are you guys single? Ag?
Speaker 5: That's your dad.
Speaker 1: We're not gonna talk to your dad.
Speaker 6: Don't talk to him about anything to do.
Speaker 5: Five year relationship.
Speaker 6: We should probably come and sit at a microphone give us
Speaker 6: some tips.
Speaker 1: You just got a dog, Okay, it's like.
Speaker 6: That's bigger than marriage.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the real thing. Wow. Yeah, okay, no, but seriously,
Speaker 5: that's a big step.
Speaker 2: They got a dog together five years in. So it's
Speaker 2: talking about all this because I assume so many people
Speaker 2: are asking you because of the name of the song
Speaker 2: and what you're doing. So many people are asking you
Speaker 2: about your dating life and what's going on. Is that
Speaker 2: awkward when your dad is sitting right here?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I didn't know we were going to
Speaker 6: go straight into like the dating conversations were starting.
Speaker 1: Where's my husband?
Speaker 6: I know dad's here today, and it's quite awkward, but
Speaker 6: you know, okay, we're smiling through it.
Speaker 1: Okay, you're doing a really great job.
Speaker 6: Thanks.
Speaker 1: So let's talk about your music a little more then.
Speaker 2: Yes, you are independent. Yes, tell me about how freeing
Speaker 2: or not freeing that is. Because so many people that
Speaker 2: we know are beholding to these labels for the longest
Speaker 2: time and then something changes, they go independent and it's
Speaker 2: like a jailbreak.
Speaker 5: It really is. It's so beautiful.
Speaker 6: I think the most beautiful thing about it is, you know,
Speaker 6: back in the day, like I would have to basically
Speaker 6: make a create a whole pitch in order to be like,
Speaker 6: this is what I want to do next, you know,
Speaker 6: and it'll be like no, or m maybe, but you
Speaker 6: need to do this, this and this.
Speaker 5: Verse like it was a whole. You know, you're not
Speaker 5: truly in control.
Speaker 6: And I think the most beautiful thing about being independent
Speaker 6: is I really am my own boss and it's amazing
Speaker 6: and I get to be like, I think we'll put
Speaker 6: this one out next. I want to do it like this,
Speaker 6: I want to share it like less brainstorm and come
Speaker 6: up with ideas, but I get to lead a team
Speaker 6: into my vision and you know I will give I
Speaker 6: will give it. The thing of like you know, when
Speaker 6: you spend seven years under a label, you learn I think,
Speaker 6: in my opinion, everything not to do, or everything you
Speaker 6: don't want, or what it feels like to be campaigning
Speaker 6: something you're not proud of, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6: And I know that's not the same experience for everyone
Speaker 6: under a record label. I know have artists friends who
Speaker 6: have a great time and have a team who really
Speaker 6: believe in them and stuff like that. But I came
Speaker 6: from a different it was a different thing for me.
Speaker 6: So it's literally chalk and cheese is the expression. Yeah,
Speaker 6: really a world away from what was. And I just
Speaker 6: can't see myself ever not wanting to be an independent artist.
Speaker 6: It really is really really a nice experience. It's hard work,
Speaker 6: but all of it's hard.
Speaker 5: Work anyway, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what you're doing.
Speaker 2: Is what I think one of the hardest things to
Speaker 2: do in the world. It looks so glitzy and glamorous
Speaker 2: and so many people are like, ah, I could be
Speaker 2: a singer, no problem. But what it actually goes into
Speaker 2: it behind the scenes, I think is what a lot
Speaker 2: of people don't know.
Speaker 5: And it's brutal.
Speaker 2: Entertainment is a brutal it is. But you're also writing
Speaker 2: for yourself, not writing for other people. And all of
Speaker 2: this is whether you sink or swim, it's up to you,
Speaker 2: and that's gotta be kind of exciting.
Speaker 1: It is exciting, terrifying also, it is terrifying.
Speaker 6: Also, and you know, but it's beautiful. I think this
Speaker 6: is the thing with the arts, is like you can
Speaker 6: only control what you can control. You can't control how
Speaker 6: someone's going to receive your art. Someone's gonna watch a
Speaker 6: movie and like it or hate it. You know, someone's
Speaker 6: gonna read a book and feel this and that, and
Speaker 6: it's the same with a song and a presentation of artistry.
Speaker 6: But I think the beautiful thing is now I'm in
Speaker 6: a position where I have the luxury of only of
Speaker 6: being able to make that my folk. Opposed to I
Speaker 6: was so numbers orientated and I was chasing the wrong thing,
Speaker 6: you know, And now I feel really blessed that it's
Speaker 6: just about you know, the art I'm working on this
Speaker 6: album and even the yeah, like, it's really an amazing
Speaker 6: thing that I'm even able to make this album from
Speaker 6: the place that I am when it's just art led
Speaker 6: do what feels good to me, what makes my stomach
Speaker 6: have butterflies of excitement, you know, not what's this person
Speaker 6: going to think? Am I going to be able to
Speaker 6: get disapproved? Am I going to be you know? So
Speaker 6: that in itself is just like, Wow.
Speaker 2: I'm really glad that we have a video right now,
Speaker 2: because you just looked so excited. Well you were talking
Speaker 2: about it like genuine enthusiasm, which we don't see a
Speaker 2: lot when people come through and are talking about this
Speaker 2: next project that's coming up. So congratulations on that. And
Speaker 2: last thing I will say, because I know we have
Speaker 2: to wrap it up here. I believe in like omens
Speaker 2: in the universe and all of these signs, and the fact.
Speaker 1: That your car was stolen, yeah.
Speaker 2: And your music was not taken out of it. It's
Speaker 2: such a sign that things are gonna go well. But
Speaker 2: you tell that story really quickly and then we'll let
Speaker 2: you go. No.
Speaker 6: Yeah, someone put on Twitter some funny tweet I retweeted.
Speaker 6: I can't even quote it because I might say it wrong,
Speaker 6: but it made me laugh so much. But something about
Speaker 6: the robbers returning it because I've read the lyrics and
Speaker 6: they were like, oh, she needs to put this out.
Speaker 6: That made me laugh anyway, Yes, my car got stolen.
Speaker 6: All my songbooks was in there. I was devastated.
Speaker 5: I grieved it.
Speaker 6: I let it go. I made peace with the fact
Speaker 6: that I would need to be starting again. But I'd
Speaker 6: poured a lot of heart and ideas and shapes into that,
Speaker 6: into those books and then lo and behold. Several months later,
Speaker 6: I was on the set for Born Again with Lisa
Speaker 6: and Doja which was what a day.
Speaker 5: And I got a call.
Speaker 6: From the police when I was in hair and makeup
Speaker 6: and they were like, we found your car and I
Speaker 6: was like, no, way are the books? Is the thing's
Speaker 6: still in the car. I don't know, we can't tell.
Speaker 6: You're going to have to come and find out. But
Speaker 6: I'm on a video shoot in America, so you know,
Speaker 6: was like other books there. And about a month later,
Speaker 6: when I made it back to the UK, got the
Speaker 6: car back, opened the boot.
Speaker 5: They were all there.
Speaker 6: So what a beautiful That took really long to tell
Speaker 6: that story. No, that's great though, but what a beautiful thing. Yeah,
Speaker 6: it's good luck a good luck site. Also, yeah, it's
Speaker 6: like okay, and you know, it took the books and
Speaker 6: there and then we resume.
Speaker 5: So it was very brilliant.
Speaker 6: And I did what I did strategically, is I delayed
Speaker 6: telling people I found my car because you know, I said,
Speaker 6: I'm going to have to delay the album now, I
Speaker 6: mean smart, So I delayed telling people that I've found
Speaker 6: the car so that I could just buy myself a
Speaker 6: couple more months, you know what I mean. And I'm
Speaker 6: still here schiffing away at the songs which are not
Speaker 6: done yet.
Speaker 1: Did it change how you write your music?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 1: Are you saving it on a phone or something in
Speaker 1: a cloud?
Speaker 6: Opted for an electrical method? Like I still have my books,
Speaker 6: but I also am using my laptop. I bought a
Speaker 6: laptop and I've been using lap I've never used a
Speaker 6: laptop before. Well, now I'm like on a laptop and
Speaker 6: I love it.
Speaker 1: Oh good, Yeah, so you take your laptop to the
Speaker 1: bar away.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so use laptop vibes.
Speaker 2: Well, congratulations on everything you your single Where is my husband?
Speaker 2: Exclamation points? People can find it anywhere where they want
Speaker 2: to find it. Yes, and they can look for you
Speaker 2: on tour in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 1: Is there anything else that you would like to mention
Speaker 1: before you head out?
Speaker 6: That the album will be with you hopefully in the
Speaker 6: first third of next.
Speaker 2: Year, unless your car is stolen again, then it might
Speaker 2: be a couple of months. So Q one twenty twenty six,
Speaker 2: we're looking at your album, maybe.
Speaker 6: Q one and two in between those time frames.
Speaker 5: Okay, it's not a lot to date.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think you need a boo.
Speaker 6: Good luck.
Speaker 1: We're really excited to see everything that you're doing.
Speaker 7: Thank you, congratulations, Thanks for this is a lovely chat absolutely, Yeah.
Speaker 2: All right, and there she is Ray who we think
Speaker 2: is going to be a superstar, So you don't think
Speaker 2: she is already, but she kind of is for sure.
Speaker 1: She performed that song on Jimmy Fallon not too long ago,
Speaker 1: and she looked.
Speaker 3: Amazing, amazing, Like her smile is just so big and
Speaker 3: just kind of like cute but not cute, you know, like.
Speaker 2: She's a person I would want to be my friend. Yeah,
Speaker 2: which you know, I've realized to me that's that's one
Speaker 2: of my highest compliments that I could give a guest,
Speaker 2: which is like, hello, so full of myself, Like I'm
Speaker 2: complimenting you by saying I want you to be my friend,
Speaker 2: but I really mean it, Like that's a genuine I
Speaker 2: love you type of vibe. I really or I really
Speaker 2: like you, I'm interested in you. And so many of
Speaker 2: the podcast guests I find myself saying that about them
Speaker 2: after because I have this notion of who they are
Speaker 2: before they come in, and then you have a conversation
Speaker 2: with them.
Speaker 1: And you're like, oh, well, this is interesting. And it's
Speaker 1: taught me a lot about not judging things. I still
Speaker 1: be judging, but not in the same way.
Speaker 3: Like when she said that she's now starting to type
Speaker 3: on a computer. She never used a laptop before, And
Speaker 3: I was like, Okay, what are we in nineteen seventy two,
Speaker 3: what's going on here? Ray?
Speaker 1: I want to know what I saw the other day
Speaker 1: that was like depressing.
Speaker 2: It was somebody asking I think it was a bunch
Speaker 2: of college kids, what year did you have to be
Speaker 2: born in to be considered old.
Speaker 1: These people were like, two thousand and three, that's sad.
Speaker 1: I said, shut the first of all. That would make
Speaker 1: you twenty two. That's old.
Speaker 4: Listen, you're like seventeen, that's old.
Speaker 3: Two thousand and three. I was right on my bed
Speaker 3: watching Laguna be Chook. If that is old, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm just depressed because I'm like, oh my god. But also,
Speaker 2: this is probably a conversation for like a whole other podcast.
Speaker 1: Why is age such a weird thing to just own?
Speaker 1: Like you didn't do anything wrong, you were just born
Speaker 1: and you're growing up. But everybody age shames other people,
Speaker 1: whether it's older people or younger people.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like, oh.
Speaker 1: She's just young, ignore, or she's old. Ignore.
Speaker 2: We're all in the same boat, right, We're trying to
Speaker 2: get toward the same thing. I do understand that there's
Speaker 2: generational warfare on certain things, you know, like my parents
Speaker 2: have a lot of crazy ideas because they're of a
Speaker 2: certain generation that that was acceptable. And then there's the
Speaker 2: gen Alpha gen z who genuinely believe that they've invented
Speaker 2: everything because if it wasn't online, it didn't exist.
Speaker 1: No, that's that's also untrue.
Speaker 4: They are so funny, Like is it funny?
Speaker 3: Well, I think they're funny because I don't take them seriously.
Speaker 3: Like I have cousins who are like in their early twenties,
Speaker 3: and like they'll call me about things and I'm like.
Speaker 4: Are you Are you insane?
Speaker 1: It's just like little dumb shit.
Speaker 3: Like I went to work today, but I didn't really
Speaker 3: want to be there, Like so I left to get
Speaker 3: a coffee and my boss was looking for me, but
Speaker 3: like I needed a minute, like a personal time.
Speaker 1: Are you insane?
Speaker 3: You think you're just gonna get up and walk out
Speaker 3: of the building, go stand in line for coffee and
Speaker 3: they're on the clock and they're not gonna ask you
Speaker 3: where you went?
Speaker 4: Are you?
Speaker 3: And then you're taking a more time by calling me
Speaker 3: what is room with you? Yo?
Speaker 4: That's wild.
Speaker 1: They're crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The craziest thing to me is the like I just said,
Speaker 2: if it isn't online, we must have invented it. Like
Speaker 2: Scary was talking the other day and I was like,
Speaker 2: the fuck about how there's this new trend of people
Speaker 2: driving by a car accident and yelling you can't park there, sir.
Speaker 2: I lived in Boston for quite a while. The amount
Speaker 2: of you can't park there that has happened decades ago
Speaker 2: is hilarious. But people just were not posting it. They
Speaker 2: were just being assholes to be assholes. It was incredible.
Speaker 4: I love that. I know that's so funny.
Speaker 1: It was a good time.
Speaker 2: But yeah, there's plenty of stuff that existed before stuff
Speaker 2: was posted online because everybody just followed every single second
Speaker 2: of every day in their lives and let you know,
Speaker 2: it's just a weird, weird thing. All that to say,
Speaker 2: I find the age warfare to be a little weird.
Speaker 2: I think it's weird when people exclude somebody based on
Speaker 2: age because they're too young or they're too old, Like
Speaker 2: how often.
Speaker 1: Listen Nicki Minaj, Please, I'm sorry. I know she was
Speaker 1: your hero and she's fallen from grace.
Speaker 3: I want to she was never my hero. I loved her,
Speaker 3: but hero is a stretch because crack.
Speaker 1: Is a hell of a drug.
Speaker 3: She not only has lost me, but I will never return.
Speaker 3: I'm about to delete all of her music off of
Speaker 3: my phone.
Speaker 1: Wow, it's like that, it's just for you.
Speaker 3: No, Like, I don't want to support you in any way,
Speaker 3: shape or form.
Speaker 1: It's disgusting.
Speaker 2: So I'll try to make a long story short with
Speaker 2: Nicki Minaj if you don't know all the drama that's
Speaker 2: going on. She initially started sort of going off the
Speaker 2: deep end. It was before Carti released her album, but
Speaker 2: it really started like catching fire once Cardi really her album,
Speaker 2: because for whatever reason, those two.
Speaker 1: Are like enemies in the wild.
Speaker 2: Nikki started tweeting crazy things, like things that just didn't
Speaker 2: make sense for anybody who was not on drugs to
Speaker 2: say she was.
Speaker 1: Going after kids.
Speaker 2: Then she took this weird turn and now she is
Speaker 2: somehow a Trumper speaking on behalf of Christians in Nigeria
Speaker 2: who are reportedly being persecuted. But people in Nigeria are
Speaker 2: saying that's actually not true. Yep, that that's even happening.
Speaker 2: So she's speaking on behalf of Trump and now she's
Speaker 2: like a hardcore trumper apparently sick.
Speaker 1: Do you believe that all of this.
Speaker 2: Is in an attempt to get her brother and her husband,
Speaker 2: who are both sexual offenders, some sort of pardon.
Speaker 1: Well hours a crack, oh both.
Speaker 3: I was talking to someone about this the other day
Speaker 3: because I was like, what, I could understand her thinking
Speaker 3: that that, like that doing all of this would get
Speaker 3: them pardon if they had committed federal This is this man,
Speaker 3: the president cannot pardon someone who committed a crime on
Speaker 3: a local level, like state, you went to the state penitentiary.
Speaker 1: You just made me snop bubble.
Speaker 3: Like her brother is literally in New York in jail.
Speaker 4: This is I don't I just like.
Speaker 1: Google is free, right, So nobody told her. I've heard her.
Speaker 3: I've heard that people heard from people who worked who
Speaker 3: worked for her in the past that she's like she
Speaker 3: doesn't listen to people. She's like horrible to even have
Speaker 3: a conversation with. So I can in my head, I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 3: she probably if people around her are probably like, hey,
Speaker 3: this isn't smart, don't do this. But she just fires
Speaker 3: people or like what, She'll yell at them and fire
Speaker 3: them and that's it.
Speaker 6: But like.
Speaker 3: Your husband is a criminal. Right When you have a
Speaker 3: criminal around you, they know the law. Contrary to popular beli,
Speaker 3: criminals know the law.
Speaker 4: Right, Like, so wouldn't he say to her, well, this.
Speaker 3: Isn't how this works, because I guarantee you, like.
Speaker 2: How too busy just spending her money while she's doing
Speaker 2: drugs in the house?
Speaker 1: Oh for sure?
Speaker 4: Did you hear that?
Speaker 3: Like he buys his friends change.
Speaker 2: It's just wild, Like there are so many twists and
Speaker 2: turns like diamond this time, let's say two years ago,
Speaker 2: did you ever think there would be a moment where
Speaker 2: Nicki Minaj's was hardcore just off the fucking rails, and
Speaker 2: well maybe more than two years ago.
Speaker 1: From her off the rails.
Speaker 2: But we were like, oh my god, it's so bad
Speaker 2: that I'm thinking about deleting her music from my library
Speaker 2: that I love, but I don't even want to support this,
Speaker 2: and that Candice Owens was saying things that.
Speaker 1: Actually agreed with what we had to say. What has happened?
Speaker 1: Are we in the twilight zone?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 4: Yes, we absolutely are.
Speaker 3: And at this point I'm about to put my blinders
Speaker 3: on just just I might have to because.
Speaker 2: They want, well maybe trying to exhaust you to the
Speaker 2: point of looking away.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm exhausted, same like, I don't. I don't know
Speaker 3: how you're doing it.
Speaker 4: I'm like this. When Marjorie Taylor Green starts making sense
Speaker 4: to me, it really hurts my heart and my head.
Speaker 1: Listen, here's what I have to say though.
Speaker 2: All these people who are saying, oh my god, I
Speaker 2: can't believe I agree with Candice Owan's and Marjorie Taylor Green.
Speaker 1: You don't they agree with you?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: Oh well, yeah, there's a big difference there. They have
Speaker 2: come around. We did not come around to them.
Speaker 1: We are.
Speaker 4: I just I can't like it.
Speaker 2: I know he already talked about it, but rfk fleeing
Speaker 2: from the scene.
Speaker 3: Can we ever find out why the guy passed out
Speaker 3: in the first place.
Speaker 2: I haven't kept up with it because of all the
Speaker 2: stories that are coming out right now that one's actually
Speaker 2: even though it's hilarious, like the least of anything concerning
Speaker 2: I do find it outrageous and I want to laugh
Speaker 2: at it. But I'm also just appalled that they updated
Speaker 2: the CDC website to say vaccines they might cause autism.
Speaker 2: God they didn't say it like that, but that's essentially
Speaker 2: the messaging behind it.
Speaker 4: It is. I mean, are we not entertained?
Speaker 2: I am certainly entertained in the most horrific way, Quiet Piggy.
Speaker 1: Just imagine I'm try to say that to someone in
Speaker 1: your real life.
Speaker 4: Somebody said it.
Speaker 3: To me over the phone, a caller the other day, seriously,
Speaker 3: but no, like she was like referencing and she thought
Speaker 3: it was funny, and it was kind of funny. I'm
Speaker 3: not gonna lie, but it just was one of those
Speaker 3: things that was like, this is.
Speaker 4: Like, this is the world that we're living in.
Speaker 2: He does things that you're like, no human would do
Speaker 2: that in real life. Like, I can't imagine looking at
Speaker 2: anyone and being like quiet Piggy unless I was fucking
Speaker 2: around with them. Yeah, which now, of course we're gonna
Speaker 2: say it all the time, but dead seriously, just can't
Speaker 2: imagine it.
Speaker 1: And it's like every day he gives us another gem.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, fuck nothing, Well did you hear my stomach?
Speaker 3: No, nothing will ever top people are dying who have
Speaker 3: never died before. I'm like, if you don't laugh and stuff,
Speaker 3: you'll literally I'll be in a ball crying.
Speaker 4: So it's like you have to. It's hilarious. My dad
Speaker 4: doesn't find any of this money. By the way, oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is like the generation that is like, well,
Speaker 2: this is actually devastating, which I appreciate from.
Speaker 1: Them because it is horrible. My parents are not laughing either.
Speaker 3: My mom is like this guy, I'm like, you're going
Speaker 3: to run your blood pressure up at least laugh.
Speaker 4: Babes were run it now.
Speaker 2: My aunt and uncle were in town, and by the way,
Speaker 2: you guys are also nice to them, So thank you
Speaker 2: for being nice to my auntie.
Speaker 1: Now, she so sweet, she's the nicest.
Speaker 2: But she is like suh a Stephen Colbert fans. So
Speaker 2: she asked if we could go see him.
Speaker 1: I said yeah. It worked out really well. We were
Speaker 1: able to go see him and it was kind of nice.
Speaker 1: And this is what I.
Speaker 2: Always say about protests, because there are a lot of
Speaker 2: people that are like, what is the point of a protest?
Speaker 1: Why does anyone go to these things? Because you know,
Speaker 1: I'll go.
Speaker 2: It's not about necessarily thinking that in that moment, you're
Speaker 2: going to make a difference, At least for me. I
Speaker 2: don't know that protests make a difference when it comes
Speaker 2: to the policy. But what it does make a difference
Speaker 2: for me about is that it feels like I am
Speaker 2: surrounded by mass amounts of people who are on the
Speaker 2: same page and make me feel like I'm not alone
Speaker 2: in thinking.
Speaker 1: What the fuck is going on here?
Speaker 2: It's nice to be around thousands of people who are
Speaker 2: feeling that same way, like, no, this is not okay,
Speaker 2: and it's so not okay that I'm willing to come
Speaker 2: out here and risk my livelihood to say this is
Speaker 2: not okay. And at the Stephen Colbert show that was
Speaker 2: sort of the same vibe. There is an artist, his
Speaker 2: name is Jesse Wells. I'm going to send you the song.
Speaker 2: Did I send you guys a song?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: He dropped four albums this year. Oh yeah, he's been
Speaker 1: nominated for Grammys.
Speaker 2: Apparently I had never heard of him before, but he
Speaker 2: performed a song called Join Ice in front of like
Speaker 2: thirty American flags.
Speaker 1: That's probably an exaggeration. There were maybe like seven. It
Speaker 1: was a fascinating song.
Speaker 2: I laughed out loud and I was like, this guy
Speaker 2: is my guy. I like him, So, yeah, go download
Speaker 2: some Jesse Wells if and when you have a moment,
Speaker 2: because he's fabulous. Yeah, I'll play the song for you
Speaker 2: when we are not doing the podcast, because apparently if
Speaker 2: I play a podcast, or if I play a song
Speaker 2: in a podcast, it'll get like the entire podcast taken down. Really, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's what happened with our fifteen minute morning show.
Speaker 4: I guess, please don't even start on that.
Speaker 1: Or maybe it was the actual Allus Rand show.
Speaker 4: Yeah, either way.
Speaker 2: Apparently with licensed music, if you play more than a
Speaker 2: certain amount of sound and it's very little, like six seconds,
Speaker 2: maybe if you play more than that, they will flag
Speaker 2: you as violating because you are, and they'll take things down.
Speaker 2: And we had podcasts up from years ago before some
Speaker 2: of this was implemented, so that's why we got flagged.
Speaker 2: If you were missing us for a minute, that's what happened,
Speaker 2: not our podcast, but.
Speaker 4: The big show. That's good to know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, people how to make their money. These
Speaker 1: labels are just dying out here. They sure are, please
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 2: So we had things that we wanted to talk about,
Speaker 2: none of which we actually talked about, and I appreciate
Speaker 2: that because now we have more content for the next podcast. Yes,
Speaker 2: if people want to find you online, Diamond, where will
Speaker 2: they find you at?
Speaker 4: Diamond? Sincere on it at?
Speaker 1: Are you still threading?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Sometimes? Okay, you can find me there but I'm

Speaker 1: You can find me. I'm sitting in a corner.
