And I sang 56 00:03:11,556 --> 00:03:14,476 Speaker 4: Barber streisand the way we were, which is very inappropriate 57 00:03:14,476 --> 00:03:16,756 Speaker 4: for a seven year old to sing about like a 58 00:03:16,836 --> 00:03:21,716 Speaker 4: divorce breakup in the seventies, but that's what we used 59 00:03:21,716 --> 00:03:24,676 Speaker 4: to listen to at home.

You know, I'm sure that 79 00:04:24,996 --> 00:04:28,156 Speaker 4: had a big influence on me listening to that or 80 00:04:29,236 --> 00:04:34,916 Speaker 4: you know, it's funny. I listened to Neil Diamond live 81 00:04:35,036 --> 00:04:38,236 Speaker 4: like whatever my parents had. Also ROBERTA. Flack, which was 82 00:04:38,276 --> 00:04:41,116 Speaker 4: a huge one, which is first time ever I saw 83 00:04:41,156 --> 00:04:44,476 Speaker 4: your face. That just kills me. Even talking about that 84 00:04:44,556 --> 00:04:46,156 Speaker 4: song brings tears to my eyes. 85 00:04:46,836 --> 00:04:50,476 Speaker 3: Oh that is such an intense, beautiful song. It's amazing 86 00:04:51,556 --> 00:04:53,716 Speaker 3: speaking of hair. I was going to ask you about this. 87 00:04:53,996 --> 00:05:00,836 Speaker 3: I'm sort of jumping around a little bit. Ye, I 88 00:05:00,916 --> 00:05:02,556 Speaker 3: was going to ask you. So in the Teachers of 89 00:05:02,596 --> 00:05:07,396 Speaker 3: Peaches documentary, a lot of the costumes for the review 90 00:05:07,476 --> 00:05:10,996 Speaker 3: of Peaches that you were doing and going back through 91 00:05:10,996 --> 00:05:13,876 Speaker 3: that album and bringing that back to the stage, a 92 00:05:13,876 --> 00:05:17,196 Speaker 3: lot of hair, a lot of costumes with hair, like 93 00:05:17,756 --> 00:05:19,316 Speaker 3: what's the hair about? 94 00:05:19,596 --> 00:05:19,956 Speaker 2: Okay? 95 00:05:20,036 --> 00:05:23,756 Speaker 4: Well, hair was very important to me as a symbol 96 00:05:23,996 --> 00:05:31,956 Speaker 4: of understanding what beauty is when I was first starting Peaches, Like, 97 00:05:32,236 --> 00:05:36,356 Speaker 4: why is it that if I don't shave my pubic hairs, 98 00:05:37,116 --> 00:05:42,716 Speaker 4: I am dirty or gross, but only because I'm female identified. 99 00:05:43,156 --> 00:05:46,076 Speaker 4: But if I grow the hair on top of my headlong, 100 00:05:46,236 --> 00:05:50,756 Speaker 4: I am beautiful. Or if I have long eyelashes, I 101 00:05:50,836 --> 00:05:53,036 Speaker 4: am a symbol of beauty. But if I shave my 102 00:05:53,236 --> 00:05:59,476 Speaker 4: eyebrows then I'm weird. If I don't shave my legs 103 00:05:59,596 --> 00:06:05,196 Speaker 4: or my armpit hairs, then again that is unacceptable. So 104 00:06:05,956 --> 00:06:09,316 Speaker 4: it's just hair, and we all have it, and there 105 00:06:09,316 --> 00:06:13,476 Speaker 4: are different standards for different constructs of gender. So it 106 00:06:13,556 --> 00:06:18,596 Speaker 4: was me exploring that idea, and so I started with 107 00:06:18,636 --> 00:06:22,196 Speaker 4: the little hot pants and the pubic hair, and I 108 00:06:22,236 --> 00:06:27,676 Speaker 4: met Charlie Lymondo, who is a hairstylist who started when 109 00:06:27,676 --> 00:06:29,236 Speaker 4: he was twelve.

There's hair showing up in different places. 140 00:08:13,356 --> 00:08:18,516 Speaker 4: There's hair. Yes, definitely, the theme you know that was hair. 141 00:08:18,796 --> 00:08:21,716 Speaker 4: My themes have also been a lot you know, imagery 142 00:08:21,956 --> 00:08:26,196 Speaker 4: of like the absurdity of our bodies and how we 143 00:08:26,316 --> 00:08:30,956 Speaker 4: are shameful of them, and also making the ridiculous fun 144 00:08:31,156 --> 00:08:35,116 Speaker 4: and question to like raise questions. So I had which 145 00:08:35,236 --> 00:08:40,996 Speaker 4: Charlie also made a multi multi breast bathing suit, or 146 00:08:41,076 --> 00:08:46,236 Speaker 4: like all Dick costumes, there's like a vagina head that 147 00:08:46,316 --> 00:08:49,596 Speaker 4: I wear, or my dancers turn into huge vaginas. And 148 00:08:49,636 --> 00:08:55,396 Speaker 4: this time around the theme is get Ready prolapse. Prolapse 149 00:08:55,476 --> 00:08:57,476 Speaker 4: is like when it all just kind of blurts out. 150 00:08:57,556 --> 00:09:02,516 Speaker 4: It's it's kind of like dropping gravity. So yeah, and 151 00:09:02,636 --> 00:09:09,876 Speaker 4: also like growing, vulging, you know, festering, and so that's 152 00:09:09,916 --> 00:09:11,796 Speaker 4: kind of I think it feel like where we're at 153 00:09:12,396 --> 00:09:14,916 Speaker 4: understanding our bodies and understanding the world. 154 00:09:14,996 --> 00:09:19,596 Speaker 2: So yeah, we're yeah, so yeah, prolapse. 155 00:09:19,676 --> 00:09:24,636 Speaker 3: So then that leads right into hanging Titties hang exactly. 156 00:09:25,436 --> 00:09:27,636 Speaker 3: So tell me about Hanging Titties? Why is that the 157 00:09:27,676 --> 00:09:31,996 Speaker 3: first song? And also when you're when you're sequencing an album, 158 00:09:32,476 --> 00:09:35,316 Speaker 3: do you think of it sort of as like creating 159 00:09:35,356 --> 00:09:38,876 Speaker 3: an arc? Or how do you put the songs together? 160 00:09:38,956 --> 00:09:41,396 Speaker 3: Is it just what sounds good coming after another, like 161 00:09:41,436 --> 00:09:44,796 Speaker 3: thinking like a DJ? Or how how does the sequencing 162 00:09:44,836 --> 00:09:45,316 Speaker 3: work for you? 163 00:09:45,556 --> 00:09:48,236 Speaker 4: It's all of that. It's definitely you know, you want 164 00:09:48,236 --> 00:09:50,716 Speaker 4: to think thematically and you definitely want an arc, or 165 00:09:50,756 --> 00:09:55,716 Speaker 4: I do because I I think of it as an album. Yeah, 166 00:09:55,956 --> 00:09:57,916 Speaker 4: so you do think about an arc, but you also 167 00:09:57,996 --> 00:10:01,036 Speaker 4: have to make sure that the songs work together, and 168 00:10:01,076 --> 00:10:03,116 Speaker 4: the same with when you're making a live show, which 169 00:10:03,156 --> 00:10:07,236 Speaker 4: won't be the same kind of order because you listen 170 00:10:07,316 --> 00:10:12,916 Speaker 4: differently than when you experience it live, I believe. Yeah, 171 00:10:12,956 --> 00:10:15,676 Speaker 4: So I thought it was just such a strong statement. 172 00:10:15,796 --> 00:10:18,116 Speaker 4: I don't know, can you say anything on this podcast? 173 00:10:18,156 --> 00:10:19,956 Speaker 4: I guess so I don't know, so, I mean, I 174 00:10:20,036 --> 00:10:23,076 Speaker 4: just thought it was so strong to just own the 175 00:10:23,116 --> 00:10:26,236 Speaker 4: hanging titties as cunt, you know, like older than you 176 00:10:26,276 --> 00:10:28,436 Speaker 4: looking so cunt. Oh look at you, all of my 177 00:10:28,516 --> 00:10:31,236 Speaker 4: cunt thirsty much. My hanging titties hit like the punch, like, 178 00:10:31,716 --> 00:10:35,676 Speaker 4: you know, because everybody's always like my teenies and I 179 00:10:35,676 --> 00:10:39,476 Speaker 4: defy gravity and they're cute and you love them, and 180 00:10:39,836 --> 00:10:41,836 Speaker 4: you know, which is great and that when you're that 181 00:10:41,916 --> 00:10:43,556 Speaker 4: age and you have them, you should own it. So 182 00:10:43,636 --> 00:10:46,996 Speaker 4: I'm owning what I have and I'm representing my age 183 00:10:47,076 --> 00:10:48,956 Speaker 4: and owning it and you're loving it. 184 00:10:51,596 --> 00:10:56,676 Speaker 3: How does it feel now that your body's changing and 185 00:10:56,716 --> 00:11:00,276 Speaker 3: you're on stage and so much of you is revealed? 186 00:11:00,276 --> 00:11:00,956 Speaker 2: At times? 187 00:11:01,676 --> 00:11:04,116 Speaker 4: I think it's even more important. And that's that's I 188 00:11:04,156 --> 00:11:08,156 Speaker 4: think by virtue of me being like that, that's that's strong. 189 00:11:09,516 --> 00:11:12,196 Speaker 3: Does is there any apprehension like, oh fuck, like I 190 00:11:12,196 --> 00:11:14,476 Speaker 3: have to get on stage like my body's changing. 191 00:11:14,876 --> 00:11:17,836 Speaker 4: No, this is me, this is my this is also 192 00:11:17,956 --> 00:11:22,996 Speaker 4: my reckoning, this is also my manifestation, like and come on, 193 00:11:23,076 --> 00:11:23,756 Speaker 4: I'm not old. 194 00:11:23,876 --> 00:11:24,756 Speaker 2: I'm not that old. 195 00:11:25,116 --> 00:11:27,236 Speaker 4: I'm just and I'm also saying like come on, I'm 196 00:11:27,236 --> 00:11:30,396 Speaker 4: not that old, like Also, we're living longer, you know, 197 00:11:31,476 --> 00:11:33,756 Speaker 4: people are living till one hundred. You no longer have 198 00:11:33,796 --> 00:11:37,756 Speaker 4: to think about your life in thirds, right, I think 199 00:11:37,756 --> 00:11:39,876 Speaker 4: about it, I guess in thirds, and now you think 200 00:11:39,916 --> 00:11:44,276 Speaker 4: of it in quarters. And also if you think about 201 00:11:44,916 --> 00:11:48,356 Speaker 4: when you were young and your parents or your grandparents, 202 00:11:48,436 --> 00:11:51,956 Speaker 4: what they what they experience as being that age, and 203 00:11:52,676 --> 00:11:56,356 Speaker 4: it was it was a little it was different. They 204 00:11:56,476 --> 00:11:59,436 Speaker 4: understood things different, they went through different things. They didn't 205 00:11:59,556 --> 00:12:04,716 Speaker 4: have this pop culture experience that we do now and 206 00:12:04,796 --> 00:12:08,276 Speaker 4: continue to have and find joy in. So you know, 207 00:12:08,356 --> 00:12:11,556 Speaker 4: it's more like the kids, the parents and the grandparents 208 00:12:11,556 --> 00:12:15,476 Speaker 4: are like, let's go, let's go, Like we understand coming 209 00:12:15,476 --> 00:12:19,236 Speaker 4: together in physical spaces more than the younger generations do. 210 00:12:19,716 --> 00:12:23,756 Speaker 3: So I read that you have been exploring yourself more 211 00:12:23,796 --> 00:12:28,356 Speaker 3: deeply in recent years, and I'm just curious what that 212 00:12:28,636 --> 00:12:32,476 Speaker 3: means and how or if that connects to the new 213 00:12:32,516 --> 00:12:33,156 Speaker 3: album at all. 214 00:12:33,916 --> 00:12:39,556 Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess exploring myself deeper sounds kind of elusive, 215 00:12:39,636 --> 00:12:43,716 Speaker 4: but I guess what it means is, you know, at 216 00:12:43,756 --> 00:12:48,236 Speaker 4: the age I'm at, there's a recogning that happening happens. 217 00:12:48,676 --> 00:12:52,116 Speaker 4: This is a reckoning that's happening in terms of like, 218 00:12:53,156 --> 00:12:56,316 Speaker 4: I feel like the work I have done has been 219 00:12:56,756 --> 00:13:06,516 Speaker 4: very performative and very outward and very direct obviously, and 220 00:13:08,356 --> 00:13:12,076 Speaker 4: I realize that a lot of them are manifestations. They're 221 00:13:12,076 --> 00:13:15,156 Speaker 4: not always completely this is how I am, and we're 222 00:13:15,196 --> 00:13:18,636 Speaker 4: never this is how I am. You know, they are manifestations. 223 00:13:18,716 --> 00:13:23,196 Speaker 4: There are ways to help us come into these beings, 224 00:13:23,676 --> 00:13:28,636 Speaker 4: and as we do, there's also voices behind, or little 225 00:13:28,636 --> 00:13:32,596 Speaker 4: things behind, saying like what is the deeper meaning of that? 226 00:13:33,276 --> 00:13:36,636 Speaker 4: Or what is what is your feeling? Even though you're 227 00:13:36,636 --> 00:13:39,036 Speaker 4: doing those manifestations and putting them out in the world 228 00:13:39,076 --> 00:13:47,276 Speaker 4: and performing them and discussing with a community and that 229 00:13:47,476 --> 00:13:54,316 Speaker 4: helps also motivate themselves and mobilized people together and all 230 00:13:54,356 --> 00:13:58,916 Speaker 4: those things, there's still things inside yourself that you need 231 00:13:58,956 --> 00:14:02,756 Speaker 4: to reckon with. So that's where I think the exploration 232 00:14:04,076 --> 00:14:09,916 Speaker 4: is showing up in the album. So there's still obviously 233 00:14:10,676 --> 00:14:21,516 Speaker 4: me advocating and finding creative and humorous and entertainment ways 234 00:14:21,676 --> 00:14:26,196 Speaker 4: and camp ways of dealing with the world around us, 235 00:14:26,236 --> 00:14:27,996 Speaker 4: but I'm also dealing with myself. 236 00:14:29,396 --> 00:14:31,636 Speaker 1: We'll be back with more from Peaches after the break. 237 00:14:35,916 --> 00:14:37,196 Speaker 2: I know that you've been super busy. 238 00:14:37,236 --> 00:14:40,316 Speaker 3: This is I think it's like your first full length 239 00:14:40,396 --> 00:14:44,316 Speaker 3: album in ten years, but you've been doing a bunch 240 00:14:44,356 --> 00:14:49,316 Speaker 3: of other stuff in the meantime. Yeah, why now, like, 241 00:14:49,436 --> 00:14:52,916 Speaker 3: why did you decide to do the album now? Was 242 00:14:52,956 --> 00:14:55,396 Speaker 3: it something that you always knew you wanted to do 243 00:14:55,476 --> 00:14:59,556 Speaker 3: another album, or did it sort of just come together organically. 244 00:15:00,356 --> 00:15:04,396 Speaker 4: I did want to do another album. I did a 245 00:15:06,276 --> 00:15:10,076 Speaker 4: teaches of Peach's twenty year anniversary tour actually twenty two 246 00:15:10,156 --> 00:15:13,356 Speaker 4: years after because of COVID, so we had to delay 247 00:15:13,396 --> 00:15:17,156 Speaker 4: it a little bit, but it again, you know, and 248 00:15:17,236 --> 00:15:20,516 Speaker 4: I also was still playing live a lot. And I 249 00:15:20,636 --> 00:15:24,796 Speaker 4: understand that I have a huge body of work and 250 00:15:24,836 --> 00:15:27,996 Speaker 4: a legacy and a point of view, and that I 251 00:15:27,996 --> 00:15:31,316 Speaker 4: could be a sort of review of myself, you know, 252 00:15:31,516 --> 00:15:33,436 Speaker 4: just take the body of work and keep doing it. 253 00:15:33,916 --> 00:15:37,876 Speaker 4: But I just thought, after all the projects I've been doing, 254 00:15:37,996 --> 00:15:41,436 Speaker 4: let's go back to music, and let's let's get out 255 00:15:41,476 --> 00:15:47,156 Speaker 4: there with new material and fresh, fresh takes on what 256 00:15:47,396 --> 00:15:50,476 Speaker 4: is going on with me where I'm at now, and 257 00:15:50,556 --> 00:15:55,116 Speaker 4: also with the world, with the world and where it's at, 258 00:15:55,796 --> 00:16:00,756 Speaker 4: and you know, it's very important to express these new 259 00:16:00,756 --> 00:16:03,916 Speaker 4: ideas and also hearing people and coming together, you know, 260 00:16:04,156 --> 00:16:08,156 Speaker 4: physically coming together and also getting out here and talking 261 00:16:08,196 --> 00:16:11,036 Speaker 4: to you everybody, and you know, because you put out 262 00:16:11,036 --> 00:16:14,516 Speaker 4: a new album, then it does put a resurgence into 263 00:16:14,716 --> 00:16:18,076 Speaker 4: people wanting to talk to me and interview me and 264 00:16:18,396 --> 00:16:25,036 Speaker 4: and and it helps expand my platform and help mobilize. 265 00:16:25,156 --> 00:16:27,676 Speaker 4: I'm really using that word mobilize a lot. But that's 266 00:16:28,356 --> 00:16:31,996 Speaker 4: that's what I really feel like. That's the motivating factor 267 00:16:32,076 --> 00:16:32,516 Speaker 4: right now. 268 00:16:33,356 --> 00:16:35,076 Speaker 2: What's your favorite part of this process? 269 00:16:35,316 --> 00:16:39,156 Speaker 3: Do you enjoy the creative part, the performative part, the 270 00:16:39,196 --> 00:16:42,676 Speaker 3: marketing part. There's so many different hats you have to 271 00:16:42,716 --> 00:16:45,836 Speaker 3: wear when you're out creating and then promoting a project. 272 00:16:47,836 --> 00:16:51,956 Speaker 4: I always get stressed out doing press. I think I'm 273 00:16:51,956 --> 00:16:53,516 Speaker 4: always like, no, I don't want to do it, And 274 00:16:53,596 --> 00:16:57,076 Speaker 4: then when I actually do it, it helps me understand 275 00:16:57,116 --> 00:16:59,316 Speaker 4: everything that's going on, and I really I get to 276 00:16:59,436 --> 00:17:02,436 Speaker 4: where people are at and it's actually really great, but 277 00:17:02,516 --> 00:17:05,676 Speaker 4: I'm so begrudgingly like, But then when I get there, 278 00:17:05,676 --> 00:17:09,956 Speaker 4: I'm so excited about it. Yes, and so I do 279 00:17:10,476 --> 00:17:13,516 Speaker 4: enjoy that. That is a big learning for me. And 280 00:17:15,356 --> 00:17:19,516 Speaker 4: but my love is on the stage. I love the stage. 281 00:17:20,596 --> 00:17:21,436 Speaker 4: I'm a show gulf. 282 00:17:22,956 --> 00:17:24,996 Speaker 3: Do you feel like when you start a show that 283 00:17:25,076 --> 00:17:29,796 Speaker 3: you have to like get the crowd comfortable or get 284 00:17:29,836 --> 00:17:33,436 Speaker 3: people to sort of like jump start their fun. Is 285 00:17:33,436 --> 00:17:35,956 Speaker 3: that sort of like a pressurized thing for you? Or 286 00:17:36,036 --> 00:17:38,916 Speaker 3: how do you sort of like ease them into it 287 00:17:39,036 --> 00:17:39,996 Speaker 3: or get them excited? 288 00:17:40,876 --> 00:17:43,476 Speaker 4: I feel like they're so damn excited or any Yeah, 289 00:17:43,516 --> 00:17:46,996 Speaker 4: so I just can and they're like, which way is 290 00:17:47,036 --> 00:17:48,556 Speaker 4: she going to do the show? Is it going to 291 00:17:48,596 --> 00:17:51,236 Speaker 4: be through silence? Is going to be a big dance? 292 00:17:51,556 --> 00:17:54,916 Speaker 4: Like There's so many ways I have presented shows, and 293 00:17:54,956 --> 00:17:58,116 Speaker 4: I feel like they're all effective in different ways. You know. 294 00:17:58,316 --> 00:18:02,236 Speaker 3: Yeah, as you were coming up and figuring out who 295 00:18:02,276 --> 00:18:05,396 Speaker 3: you were going to be on stage, at what point 296 00:18:05,516 --> 00:18:08,156 Speaker 3: did you really figure out how to work the crowd? 297 00:18:08,516 --> 00:18:11,076 Speaker 2: And when did you feel like, Okay, I have this power? 298 00:18:14,556 --> 00:18:18,716 Speaker 4: That is a very good question. I feel like it 299 00:18:18,836 --> 00:18:22,156 Speaker 4: evolved when I saw how people were reacting to me 300 00:18:22,556 --> 00:18:27,196 Speaker 4: and how I was not interested in just you know, 301 00:18:27,316 --> 00:18:31,276 Speaker 4: I wanted to be connected to people. I wanted to 302 00:18:31,276 --> 00:18:34,196 Speaker 4: be in their face. I wanted to be a performer. 303 00:18:34,356 --> 00:18:36,716 Speaker 4: I wanted to be in the moment. So I would 304 00:18:36,756 --> 00:18:40,076 Speaker 4: just keep trying things. Yeah, I would just the more 305 00:18:40,116 --> 00:18:42,036 Speaker 4: I would go and then I would go like, oh 306 00:18:42,076 --> 00:18:45,156 Speaker 4: now let me try another little costume. Or let me 307 00:18:45,196 --> 00:18:48,236 Speaker 4: do a costume change, or people would actually give me 308 00:18:48,396 --> 00:18:52,876 Speaker 4: things like costumes and I'd be like, oh, I could 309 00:18:52,996 --> 00:18:55,196 Speaker 4: use that, or let me try that out. So it's 310 00:18:55,196 --> 00:19:01,636 Speaker 4: also like really came from from people responding to what 311 00:19:01,716 --> 00:19:06,196 Speaker 4: I was doing in real time or through through gifts 312 00:19:06,356 --> 00:19:09,956 Speaker 4: or being inspired to give me things by what I 313 00:19:10,036 --> 00:19:10,436 Speaker 4: was doing. 314 00:19:12,756 --> 00:19:15,996 Speaker 3: And I'm also curious about the evolution and how you 315 00:19:16,076 --> 00:19:20,476 Speaker 3: came to Peaches. So you started as a bot mitzvah singer, 316 00:19:20,676 --> 00:19:25,476 Speaker 3: that was your debut, and then talk a little bit 317 00:19:25,556 --> 00:19:30,076 Speaker 3: about the different you know, genres or different type of 318 00:19:30,196 --> 00:19:33,156 Speaker 3: styles you tried and how you got to Peaches because 319 00:19:33,196 --> 00:19:36,156 Speaker 3: Peaches didn't happen till you were in your thirties. 320 00:19:35,876 --> 00:19:39,396 Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, Yeah, So I started as a bar mitzvah singer. 321 00:19:39,436 --> 00:19:43,556 Speaker 4: I loved singing. There was no real outlet, you know. 322 00:19:43,836 --> 00:19:46,956 Speaker 4: I could play the recorder in music class, but I 323 00:19:46,996 --> 00:19:48,836 Speaker 4: never thought it could really be a musician, because I 324 00:19:48,876 --> 00:19:53,516 Speaker 4: thought you needed to have like people in your family 325 00:19:53,556 --> 00:19:57,116 Speaker 4: playing music, or that you needed training or all these things. 326 00:19:57,876 --> 00:19:59,276 Speaker 4: Like I said, we spent a lot of time in 327 00:19:59,316 --> 00:20:02,076 Speaker 4: New York. I saw a few Broadway plays. There was 328 00:20:02,116 --> 00:20:05,636 Speaker 4: a lot of weird, amazing musicals on late night TV 329 00:20:05,756 --> 00:20:09,796 Speaker 4: in Toronto, and I what I came too is that 330 00:20:09,876 --> 00:20:13,636 Speaker 4: I wanted to be a theater director, so that was 331 00:20:13,676 --> 00:20:16,516 Speaker 4: more of my focus in theater. But it always centered 332 00:20:16,516 --> 00:20:19,116 Speaker 4: around music, so I never really realized that it was 333 00:20:19,116 --> 00:20:22,596 Speaker 4: like music that was driving it. There was something about 334 00:20:22,676 --> 00:20:25,836 Speaker 4: theaters that didn't have this immediacy that I wanted. But 335 00:20:25,956 --> 00:20:32,116 Speaker 4: I ended up going to theater directing school for university 336 00:20:32,836 --> 00:20:35,356 Speaker 4: for first year and then said I wanted to do 337 00:20:35,556 --> 00:20:39,636 Speaker 4: cool musicals to people, and other directors would scoff at me, 338 00:20:39,676 --> 00:20:42,316 Speaker 4: they'd laugh at me. They'd say, we are doing ibs 339 00:20:42,356 --> 00:20:45,836 Speaker 4: in here, we are doing checkof so nobody really took 340 00:20:45,876 --> 00:20:48,876 Speaker 4: it seriously. I thought it wasn't so serious. I thought 341 00:20:48,916 --> 00:20:52,076 Speaker 4: it was going to be a really cool way. But 342 00:20:52,996 --> 00:20:55,556 Speaker 4: I dropped out of the program and I just started 343 00:20:55,596 --> 00:20:59,356 Speaker 4: to take other arts and understand where I was at. 344 00:20:59,396 --> 00:21:02,276 Speaker 4: And I needed a job and I worked at a 345 00:21:02,356 --> 00:21:08,516 Speaker 4: daycare and I was playing acoustic guitar and realized that 346 00:21:08,676 --> 00:21:11,476 Speaker 4: these kids are very bored and the teachers are bored, 347 00:21:11,836 --> 00:21:16,436 Speaker 4: and I started to develop sort of theater games and 348 00:21:16,796 --> 00:21:21,836 Speaker 4: music where these young kids could relate to and role play, 349 00:21:21,956 --> 00:21:26,876 Speaker 4: but really learn and process and not have to like 350 00:21:26,876 --> 00:21:29,316 Speaker 4: like stand in front of their parents in it too 351 00:21:29,356 --> 00:21:33,076 Speaker 4: too and say a line like I'm pretty you know. 352 00:21:33,316 --> 00:21:36,516 Speaker 4: So it wasn't about the parents. Weren't allowed, they weren't 353 00:21:36,516 --> 00:21:39,676 Speaker 4: even invited to this conversation. It was just about the kids. 354 00:21:39,676 --> 00:21:41,996 Speaker 4: And every week they would like develop these things and 355 00:21:41,996 --> 00:21:44,716 Speaker 4: it was an amazing program.

So we called ourselves the shit, 405 00:24:34,996 --> 00:24:37,836 Speaker 4: and we said, let's rename ourselves. And I said, I 406 00:24:37,916 --> 00:24:40,596 Speaker 4: want to be Peaches because there's a Nina Simone's song 407 00:24:41,316 --> 00:24:43,436 Speaker 4: Struggle about four women's and there is in no way 408 00:24:43,436 --> 00:24:46,276 Speaker 4: that I thought the struggle was my struggle.

But after a year people moved on. But 417 00:25:12,036 --> 00:25:18,156 Speaker 4: I really wanted to continue this, and people moved away. 418 00:25:18,636 --> 00:25:22,276 Speaker 4: So I got a machine.
