1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: The Jewel Show on demand. Is he there all right? Sorry?

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: Connecting with the zoom. It's a Jewel show. We've got

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: Benny Blanco on. This is the song huge right now,

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: he's got a new song out called Bad Decisions, Bad Decisions,

5
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: and he's finally connected on the zoom. Benny Blanco, what's

6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: up man? This is the craziest camera angle decision I know, right, dude,

7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 1: you don't understand. The first thing I said when I

8
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: came in this morning was hey, we need to fix

9
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: the camera angles in here. Just doesn't look right. We're

10
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:34,959
Speaker 1: talking to Benny Blanco too, so we need to look

11
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: impressive because he's impressive. Like, think of all he's done.

12
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: His song east Side is huge. You have a new

13
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: song out called Bad Decisions with Snoop and BTS. Your

14
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: resume is beyond impressive. But as you can see, my

15
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: camera angle on this Zoom interview, super producer Benny Blanco

16
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: makes me look like I'm about two feet tall standing

17
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: on a chair. I like you. I hope I'm not

18
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: supposed to see anyone else because I only see you. Yeah,

19
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: well now it's switched. I think only you have a

20
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: bad camera angle. Everyone else's camera angles perfect. That's the truth, man,

21
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: I know, fix it today. Hi. All right, see that's

22
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: a good camerangle. Here's Christian Hi. Oh yeah, that's a

23
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: perfect He's got a great cameraingle, doesn't he. Thank The

24
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: show is called the Jewel Show. And then here's Jebel.

25
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: It's fine. Yeah, that's about the reaction you should get

26
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: from that camerangle. All right, Well, enough about our bad technology.

27
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: Let's talk about you, Benny Blocko. It's weird to do

28
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: interviews with people who are just crushing it, because all

29
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: you can do is go, hey, man, congratulations on just

30
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: continuing to kill it. Like, let's talk about that for

31
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,199
Speaker 1: a second. But you really have been killing it, dude,

32
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: Like you have produced and written so many songs that

33
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: people might not even have known that you have been

34
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: involved in. And your new song Bad Decisions just came

35
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: out with BTS and Snoop. We're talking about mindset on

36
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: this show all the time, and I have to think

37
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: you always knew this is going to happen. Or is

38
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: it still crazy for you that you make a living

39
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: doing this? Man? I mean I'm bold. I've been doing

40
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: it for so long. I've been releasing music professionally for

41
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: like fifteen years, so you know, it's at the same

42
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: time where you're like, oh, you're kind of jaded. But

43
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: every single day I find a way to just like

44
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: pinch myself and be like, how is it actually even happening?

45
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: How is this that I thought when I was a

46
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: kid actually a reality. You ever doubt yourself? Probably not.

47
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: I doubt little Benny Blanco was ever walking around being

48
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: like I'm never going to make it. I try to

49
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: talk about that mindset anytime I get a chance, because

50
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: if anybody truly believes that they'll do something, they'll do it.

51
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: If you think you might not do it, chances are

52
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: it's not going to happen. I doubt you ever didn't

53
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 1: think that you were going to be successful though, No,

54
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: I didn't. But I didn't think that is successful because like,

55
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: I didn't even know you could make money off music

56
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: until I was like much much older. I'd be doing

57
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: it now. If I had a day job and I

58
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: just like went home. I just like making music. It

59
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: just so happens that it's my job. Yeah, And when

60
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: you make money, it's something that you actually like to do.

61
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like a job. When I first started

62
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: making a living, doing this, Benny Blanco, it felt weird

63
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: to me. It felt like it shouldn't be getting paid

64
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: for this because it's something that I liked to do.

65
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: Does it still feel like I do some days? Of course,

66
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: all the time I got mad imposter syndrome too. Oh

67
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: do you actually? Yeah? Of course, And I get whenever

68
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: I'm like the most success is happening to me, I'm like,

69
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: this is done, it's over. This is the last one.

70
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: I'll never have another good one again. Well. I think

71
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: that it has something to do with your birthday because

72
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: you're born in March eighth of nineteen eighty eight. Right,

73
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: you have three eighteen your birthday three eighth, So that's

74
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: the number of abundance, is it. Yeah, you should talk

75
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: about me more often, Benny. It seems like you're super

76
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: into numerology and astrology. Yeah, yeah, I can tell. So

77
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: there you go, Benny Blanco, Your birthday has a number

78
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: of abundance in it. Even if you never have another hit,

79
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: you'll still find another way to make money. Wow. Talking

80
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,839
Speaker 1: to Benny Blanco his new songs out, it's called Bad

81
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: Decisions with BTS and Snoop. Benny, what's something that nobody

82
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: would know about you that you are into. I mean

83
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: other than numerology of astrology. We got that because stop

84
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: talking about that stuff. I guess I'm into like and

85
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 1: far jokes with my friends, cooking, I play a lot

86
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: of sports. I like to do pretty much everything except work. Yeah.

87
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: I'm also like a morning person. I wake up at

88
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: like six am. Yeah, me too. I always like to

89
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: see the sunrise. I get up at like three o'clock

90
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: in the morning. Yeah, literally morning day, in the middle

Speaker 1: I walk about ten miles a day. Oh my gosh,

93
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: just around your house, like your neighborhood. I walk everywhere

94
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: unless I have to be in the car. I think

95
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: walking is underrated. I like going for walks. I've been

96
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: trying to go for more walks lately. I just haven't been. Yeah,

97
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: of course you're not going for walks. Is it you

00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: else that you want to promote you want to talk about.

127
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,159

128
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: a better angle on your own show. That's that's what

129
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: I really want to promote. Working one watching this, This

130
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: is the worst angle. Everyone else has a perfect angle on.

131
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: They set up up for failure. Yeah, I think so.

132
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna try to set up a go fund me.

133
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,280
