44
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,040

Speaker 1: Yeah, and directing yourself also is not an easy thing

59
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: to do. So not only are you showing up as

60
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: the talent, but you also got to be the behind

61
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:25,119
Speaker 1: the Yeah.

62
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 3: Literally I'm like the comment should go, yeah, this she happened.

63
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, it's been about how long, like

64
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: three years since you put your first single out?

65
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 3: Three or four? Yes? I think three years? Three years?

66
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 3: Is this amazing?

67
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: That it's three years in the long grand scheme of things,

68
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: is not a long time, you know, to be where

69
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: you are today, if I'm not mistaken. When you did Rush,

70
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: that was the first one hundred million views on that

71
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: video right that records? Also, Yes, yes, did you know

72
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: that song was going to be as big as it was?

73
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: Because for my understanding, you were like no.

74
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 3: I was just like you know how it is.

75
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: I was just like I don't know about this song,

76
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: Maybe we should release this instead. I wanted to release

77
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: like a ballad or something, and my team was like,

78
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: just trust me, this is a new vibe, this is

79
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: a new sound tried and let's see. And I did

80
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 2: like a little like snippets online and I tried it

81
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: and everybody loved it.

82
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: Everybody wanted me to release it immediately. You know.

83
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: That's why it's good to have a team that can

84
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,119
Speaker 1: look at things from a different lens than you keep

85
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: us because sometimes there's something that you feel like such

86
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: a connection with and that you love, and then somebody

87
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 1: from an objective point of view can be like, no,

88
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: trust me.

89
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: This is literally like before I somethdad my album, I

90
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: was like, I want this other song cause you know,

91
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: I just recorded Guitars in Love with Teach. I was like,

92
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: it was like, calm down. If I didn't have a

93
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: team I love, I didn't that I would have taken

94
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: so much time with this album.

95
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, which was the ballad that you wanted to

96
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: put out?

97
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 3: Let me see, I can't remember. I'm not show you

98
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 3: just made it to any of my projects. You wasn't

99
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 3: that great.

100
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: You're like, let me listen to everybody. But it does

101
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: feel like you've got a good head on your shoulders,

102
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: because not only are you doing this, but just business wise,

103
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: like before you even started doing music, you would like

104
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: go to finish school, got to get my studies in order.

105
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: And how involved are you with the behind the scenes

106
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: as far as the business of music, because I feel

107
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: like that's something that artists also have to focus on,

108
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: knowing like this is my contract, this is what I want.

109
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: I want to be really involved in my marketing.

110
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 2: And yeah, my label is very much like a partnership.

111
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 2: You're not like, oh, take this money and do this.

112
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: It's very much like hands on. They want you to

113
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: understand every process and everything that is happening, and you

114
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: know everything. Like so I'm very involved in the business

115
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: side as much as the creative side and everything.

116
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: You have like a voice for singing too, even a

117
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,320

161
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 2: tired or anything, people paid to.

162
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 3: Come to the show, so I have to give them

163
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 3: a good show.

164
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 2: Sometimes I'll see people like packed outside trends and I'm

165
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 2: just like they're really here.

166
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: For me, Like okay, like wow, only.

167
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 3: And for you, just for me like I used to.

168
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 2: I opened for Coffee my first the first year I

169
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 2: released my EP, and I got the understood that it

170
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: was for her, so I just opened for her.

171
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 3: But it's when people came for me, and I was

172
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 3: just always like wow, like that's crazy.

173
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: I was watching in a few different instances artists who

174
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: I love seeing like people are throwing on things on stage.

175
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: I think that's crazy.

176
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 3: That's crazy.

177
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: Saying why people would pay good money to go see

178
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: performances even if it's somebody who's opening for someone and

179
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: maybe they're going to see, you know, the main act

180
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: or whatever. But I think that's so disrespected.

181
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 3: That's so disrespectful.

182
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 2: That's like one of my fears if money does that

183
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: to me, because I know I'm going to find that

184
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: person and happened, I'm going to throw it back from stage.

185
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 3: I'm gonna throw it back. I'm not.

186
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: I don't, yeah, but like that's my biggest fear. But

187
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 2: I don't think that's gonna happen.

188
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: Well, the album is called The Year I Turned twenty one,

189
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,679
Speaker 1: So tell me why you came up with that title,

190
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: Like why did you say this is the one?

191
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 3: This is what sticks?

192
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: And what were some other titles you worked through before that?

193
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 3: Oh? No, we had so many.

194
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 2: We had so many options because I know I wanted

195
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 2: twenty one. I know I need to go with the

196
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: numbers because my first album was nineteen and dangerous. So

197
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, let's do the numbers. It's really

198
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 2: good to have something twenty one. And I had like

199
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 2: a list of names. I was like twenty one and

200
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 2: turn to one and sexty turn to one, and I.

201
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: Was sending nineteen and dangerous twenty one, and.

202
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 2: I was like, no, I said, I kept sending names.

203
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 2: I was like twenty, Like I spelled twenty and I

204
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 2: put one. I was like, let's try different things. And

205
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 2: I sent to like my A and R and like

206
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 2: my team, like what should we do? Reminding there, Remind

207
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 2: is in the studio right now with me. I remember

208
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: came up with. I was like, you came up with

209
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 2: all of that? Yeah, turned, She's like the yeah, I

210
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 2: turned twenty one. I was like, oh that stakes that

211
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 2: makes sense because all the names I had were horrible.

212
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 3: Oh my god, horrible.

213
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: And you know, it's interesting because here twenty when it's

214
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: such a big age, because that's when you can start

215
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: to drink. Well that's probably why.

216
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, literally literally you can.

217
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 2: Like when I first came to America, the first place

218
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 2: I ever went to was Vegas and I was like nineteen,

219
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 2: so they didn't let me do anything.

220
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 3: Like I would have a show. I would go, I

221
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 3: would have a show.

222
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 2: I would have security take me to the stage and

223
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 2: I'll have security take me out of stage.

224
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 3: So for the best, Yeah, I understood why.

225
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 2: But at that time I used to get so annoyed

226
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 2: because I'd just be like, yeah, so don't not let

227
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 2: me nowhere.

228
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 3: I didn't. I couldn't go nowhere.

229
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 2: So when I turned twenty when I was like, hey America, Yeah, come, what.

230
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: Did you do when you turn twenty one? Like what

231
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: was the that celebration?

232
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 2: Like I went to Barbados? Okay, Yes, I went to Barbados.

233
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 2: I was just hanging with my friends. We had a

234
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 2: great time. I feel like a lot of things that

235
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: happened on that trip inspired a lot of things from

236
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 2: this album, because I have like two songs that I really.

237
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: Like inspired, but I need to know what those are.

238
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 2: So there's commerce okay, and there's and there's a song

239
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: called nineteen forty two on my album. I know that's

240
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 2: all right, No, it's actually not, no worry, you're gonna listen.

241
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: What's nineteen forty two? It's not down?

242
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 3: Yeah it is, it is? It is all right, Yeah,

243
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 3: you got it.

244
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: It's like a great trip. What's the drinking age in

245
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: Nigeria eighteen? Okay? Yeah, So that's so different. Imagine being

246
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: at home and you can do these things and then

247
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: you come yes and they're like no, I feel like,

248
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: here's the only place where it's twenty one in the

249
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: United States.

250
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 2: Yes, I feel like it's only the United States has

251
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 2: twenty one because even in the UK is eighteen.

252
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, maybe having wine at ten years old now

253
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: nineteen and dangerous. I gotta know, since we talked about

254
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: the the year I turned twenty one, why were you

255
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: so dangerous at nineteen?

256
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 3: Oh? I feel like at nineteen it was my time.

257
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 2: You know, I had a lot to prove because I

258
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 2: had been bragging since I was a child that I'm

259
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 2: going to be a superstar. So when I had like

260
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 2: this album, I was like, yes, let's name it. I

261
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,840

Speaker 2: to have Celestio V. And I was like, I feel

264
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 2: like I had a lot to prove. So I was like,

265
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 2: I'm nineteen and I'm dangerous. I feel like, yeah, I

266
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 2: just went to a flex on people, just I'm nineteen

267
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:37,959

273
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: even though you've hit all these milestones, you still have

274
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: a lot more in front of you. That's a lot

275
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:57,720

Speaker 2: Russian is the one that you know called me to

292
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 2: the studios like I have this song called you, let's

293
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 2: make it like drop a verse and I did and

294
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 2: shout out to Russian. The song just went platinum in

295
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 2: Spain is definitely one of my biggest songs this year.

296
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 3: So I added it to the album.

297
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: Okay, why not run it up?

298
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 3: Why not?

299
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: And now I want to ask about this song, Lego's

300
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: Love Story. So you know, like all these songs, we

301
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: only have a few singles that we have her Cammas

302
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: Bad Vibes also, but I have not heard Legos Love Story.

303
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: But the title's very intriguing. Yeah, so I want to

304
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: get a little idea what that's about, because it is.

305
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 3: A that's the fastest song I wrote on the album.

306
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 2: It's so funny because like I just heard the beat

307
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 2: and I just said it like yeah. Even my producer,

308
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 2: I don't know. I was just looking to be like

309
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 2: it was scared. He was like, okay, second verse already.

310
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: I'm like, yes, bring it on. But Legos Love Story

311
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 2: is literally just like a really cute, like coming of

312
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 2: age love story. And it's like my idea in my

313
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 2: head is like in Legos, you know, the lyrics is

314
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 2: like I was at the beach, Let's go to the beach,

315
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 2: Let's do this. I have pictures on my phone of you.

316
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 2: My storage is full, like it's just and Legos Like

317
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:49,640

00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: It feels real too. Yeah, have you been in love yet?

319
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,040

321
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: you brought you? You think you broken anybody's heart? Or

322
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: I break hearts every day every day.

323
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 3: I'm just kidding.

324
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: I'm not on purpose though. In case I've broken anybody's had,

325
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: it's not.

326
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 3: Been on purpose.

327
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: Has anybody told you that?

328
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 3: I mean, like you know you lit, No, I don't

00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 3: do that.

330
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: You don't do that. What about writing? Since you've already

331
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: directed you write your own music?

332
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 3: Do you?

333
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: What are the things are you interested in? Because you

334
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: do have a very dramatic, you know, acting type of vibe.

335
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 2: So I definitely want to act. I started taking like

336
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 2: acting lessons for some time. It didn't really go well

337
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 2: like that because like I couldn't focus on that because

338
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 2: I had so much work to do.

339
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 3: But I definitely want to do that again. I'm going

340
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 3: to fashion.

341
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: Yes, of course you are fashion girlie.

342
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 3: You have a stylist or yeah, stylist is right here.

343
00:13:54,960 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: Okay, your stylist does an amazing job creating all of

344
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: these looks for you. Thank you, thank you, thank you,

345
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: say thank you. It's nothing so you have found while

346
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: you're working too, because it feels like you have like

347
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: your team feels like friends.

348
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, my family, literal in my family.

349
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: Have you had situations where there's people that sometimes you

350
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: fall out with people because like, she don't have time

351
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: for us anymore. She thinks she got this going on.

352
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: Relationships do tend to change because it's a lot of

353
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: work that you have that you're involved with. So how

354
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: have you been managing that? Oh?

355
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 2: It can be very hard sometimes, but I feel like

356
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 2: I have a very understanding like family first of all,

357
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 2: and also like my friends, my best friends from before

358
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 2: I started this. We have a group chats and everybody

359
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 2: just checks in once in a while, so I've not

360
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 2: had any before this. I had a very close knit

361
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 2: like relationship with everybody I knew, like my family and

362
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 2: my best friends.

363
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 3: So it's still the same.

364
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: That's good, and it's also nice when you're able to

365
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: say you have a booking somewhere and then everybody can come.

366
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 3: Yes party.

367
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 2: My mom came to Paris for my Pirates shoe and

368
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 2: it was just the best thing. I call down stage.

369
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 2: She was so prepared like this is her time, like

370
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,120

374
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: And look I saw the other day and I'm only

375
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: going to point this out because it was very public.

379
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: to trip you up. I saw them asking you about

380
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,360
