Speaker 1: Is it just me a podcast by a couple of mitches.
Speaker 1: MITCHI spoke with Miley Cyrus recently.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did for the night show on KISSFM. I
Speaker 2: got Miley sort of last minute. It came through out
Speaker 2: of nowhere and they were like, you've got eight minutes
Speaker 2: with Miley, no more, no less.
Speaker 3: It was very exciting, very jealous. I am a big
Speaker 3: Miley fan.
Speaker 1: In fact, I've watched a lot of Miley interviews. What
Speaker 1: sort of move was she in?
Speaker 2: Was she in one of those I'm a serious musician
Speaker 2: not giving you much kind of interviews or was it
Speaker 2: a bit of fun?
Speaker 3: Oh? It was like brilliant.
Speaker 2: I was worried at first because she popped up on Zoom.
Speaker 2: So this is hilarious, Right, she pops up on Zoom
Speaker 2: and I get an email beforehand being like, Miley will join,
Speaker 2: she'll have a publicist, she'll have hair and makeup.
Speaker 3: I don't know why at Zoom.
Speaker 2: She'll have a PR, she'll have marketing, she'll have a manager,
Speaker 2: she'll have an agent, she'll have music label that I'll
Speaker 2: be on the Zoom. Do not start unless everyone's.
Speaker 1: God, that's daunting.
Speaker 3: It was scary.
Speaker 2: So I'm like, okay, in my at home studio, and
Speaker 2: she pops up first before anyone, ten minutes early.
Speaker 3: So it's just me and Miley, and I didn't know what.
Speaker 2: Was on the I told you do not let her in
Speaker 2: the room before we're there, but she arrived first. Then
Speaker 2: here was Miley Cyrus clicking enter Mitch Jury's zoom room.
Speaker 2: But she wasn't under Miley Cyrus. She must have been
Speaker 2: using like a label laptop or computer setup. Well, you
Speaker 2: should have followed their instruction and kicked her out and
Speaker 2: be like, no, Miley, you're not allowed in until they're in.
Speaker 3: You've ented too early. Miley and I click it. I'm like,
Speaker 3: oh shit, Hi, Miley Cyrus. So do we hear all
Speaker 3: that in the recording? Is it the unedited version?
Speaker 2: This is fully unedited. We'll start it from the moment
Speaker 2: Miley says hi, and you can hear the shee terry
Speaker 2: in my voice when I realized, oh dear, that's not
Speaker 2: a label representative, that's Miley Ray Cyrus.
Speaker 3: I can't wait. Let's listen. Give it up for Miley Cyrus.
Speaker 1: Hello.
Speaker 3: Oh hey, oh my god, hey there you are. How
Speaker 3: are you? Good? Morning?
Speaker 4: Good? This seems like there's going to be a good
Speaker 4: conversation from the wall behind you.
Speaker 3: Oh do you like it?
Speaker 2: My boyfriend put them up and he's like, this is
Speaker 2: this is my spare room. As much as these yours
Speaker 2: I get to pick. I'm like, as long as my
Speaker 2: shot like my radio show logos. There.

Speaker 2: Charlie Casey Muskrave.
Speaker 1: This is nostalgic Kevin. I'm really into it.
Speaker 2: He's like he he rotates them too. It's like a
Speaker 2: work roster. He's like, all right, so Christmas, will put
Speaker 2: some Christmas stuff up. I'm like, do what you want.
Speaker 4: I live And also you rule for allowing that that's
Speaker 4: a self expression. That is just the most valuable thing
Speaker 4: in a relationship.
Speaker 2: So slave all they have, I have like the comedy
Speaker 2: vinyls like I've got Joan Rivers her original comedy.
Speaker 4: Oh, I mean that's really that's that's that's gotta be
Speaker 4: really worth something.
Speaker 1: Where'd you get that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got that in LA because like, obviously we're
Speaker 2: in Australia.
Speaker 3: I got that in La Fi.
Speaker 1: Of course you got that in LA.
Speaker 2: It was like three dollars fifty. I'm like, I think
Speaker 2: this is a mistake.
Speaker 3: He's three.
Speaker 1: No, that is a mistake. That's a collector's item.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much. And it's so good too. I
Speaker 2: love just listening to John when she was like in
Speaker 2: the thirties. It's just it's ideal. So, yeah, welcome to
Speaker 2: my spare room. Miley Cyrus love it.
Speaker 4: I think that this is very much what my spare
Speaker 4: room kind of looks like. I actually have some n
Speaker 4: Sync dolls.
Speaker 1: Is that Spice Yeah, yeah, I've got I've.
Speaker 4: Got Spice Girl dolls on my wall. I've got a
Speaker 4: very similar wall. But see, I put all my barbies
Speaker 4: like in this in this I had my mom put
Speaker 4: it in like boxes to preserve because I also, like,
Speaker 4: you know, like the jone. That's just that these things
Speaker 4: are getting more valuable by the day, so I've got
Speaker 4: them preserved and protected because they are.
Speaker 1: It's fine art at this point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, you mean for some people that come
Speaker 2: into this room and they're like, this is like a
Speaker 2: creepy American horror story.
Speaker 3: Vibe. What's going on with all the dolls and all
Speaker 3: and all the vinyls.
Speaker 1: I'm I tell them it's museum quality.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Miley, I see you.
Speaker 1: Museum quality.
Speaker 2: If anyone the world would get it, it's Miley Cyrus.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna play this audio on loop when people walk
Speaker 2: into this room to.
Speaker 1: Justify museum pality.
Speaker 4: Museum pality, museum pality.
Speaker 3: It's so good to have you. I've been a big fan.
Speaker 2: Fee's a derb and look at the vinyls, but it's
Speaker 2: great to make this finally happen.
Speaker 3: We love you. You're amazing.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much.
Speaker 2: This is so cool. A Plastic Hearts is out now.
Speaker 2: The world is sort of vibe and it's hot. It's
Speaker 2: a really great album, and I'm so happy for you.
Speaker 2: Are you sort of buzzing and you and you're enjoying
Speaker 2: writing the hype of it?
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think one of the biggest bummers
Speaker 4: of this year is is the you know, I guess
Speaker 4: I'm unable to travel right at the moment and perform
Speaker 4: live around the world because it seems like it's really relating,
Speaker 4: and I think that's the biggest goal of a storyteller,
Speaker 4: of anyone behind you on the wall there, I think
Speaker 4: the one thing that even though they're all very unique
Speaker 4: and different, the common thread between them would be that
Speaker 4: as an artist, your goal is for people to see
Speaker 4: and find themselves in the art that you make, whether
Speaker 4: it's film, music, in this any sense of storytelling, you
Speaker 4: want people to find themselves in the stories that you're
Speaker 4: telling that are personal and intimate.
Speaker 1: And it feels like no.
Speaker 4: Matter where it is around the world, whether it's Australia,
Speaker 4: do you ask anywhere that I've spoken to, it feels
Speaker 4: like everyone's really finding themselves and relating to the music
Speaker 4: in a way that makes it very special for me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you do that very well though.
Speaker 2: One of my favorite records that you've ever put out
Speaker 2: as Dead Pets, and I think you're the only artist
Speaker 2: to ever sort of put an album out like that,
Speaker 2: which was such a risk, I guess creatively, but you
Speaker 2: pulled it off and you nailed it, and that is
Speaker 2: what you do so well as an artist. And this
Speaker 2: album feels like you right now in the moment. I mean,
Speaker 2: Midnight Sky is obviously the lead track everyone's going crazy
Speaker 2: about the Cevie Nicks remix is amazing.
Speaker 3: Why don't we quickly talk about that? How did you
Speaker 3: get Stevie is?
Speaker 2: I was maybe thinking maybe it's like a connection with
Speaker 2: your dad, maybe like you know, you grew up you
Speaker 2: maybe you knew and maybe your dad.
Speaker 3: How did that work?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 4: Actually, when I I sampled at just seventeen in Midnight Sky,
Speaker 4: and I reached out to Stevie directly and asked her
Speaker 4: to kind of bless it and allow it, and she said,
Speaker 4: you can borrow from me anytime. And when she said that,
Speaker 4: I'm one of those people that when someone says, if
Speaker 4: you need anything at all, call me, like I call
Speaker 4: five minutes later, like I'm I will always take someone
Speaker 4: up on their word.
Speaker 1: And so I did.
Speaker 4: And it really came at such a great time before
Speaker 4: the record because I think, you know what I do
Speaker 4: with Midnight Sky, blending those sounds, making something that's reminiscent,
Speaker 4: something that honors the original song, but then again breathes
Speaker 4: new life into it, makes it something that's really modern,
Speaker 4: even though you've heard the song a million times now,
Speaker 4: giving it a new identity that you've never heard before.
Speaker 4: And I think the collaborators have all been you know,
Speaker 4: it's really important ingredients to the records that I made,
Speaker 4: because having these legends that really paved the path for
Speaker 4: the road that I'm on right now, but then having
Speaker 4: someone like Dua Lipa that makes it modern right now,
Speaker 4: so current, I think, you know you really this record
Speaker 4: is something that again there's there's something nostalgic about it,
Speaker 4: but there's also something that I feel is innovative, and
Speaker 4: that's that's kind of what I always aim for.
Speaker 2: Yeah, did you get sent like a ZIP file of
Speaker 2: Stevie's audio or did you just get a thumb drive
Speaker 2: seat to you and you're like, oh, plug it in,
Speaker 2: put it.
Speaker 3: In the computer. Steve's stuff's arrived.
Speaker 4: Yes, going in through all those vocals, and you know,
Speaker 4: some of my favorite things are getting to hear the
Speaker 4: breaths and the dirt and grime that you know, usually
Speaker 4: when you get the polished.
Speaker 1: Product, we lose a lot of that.
Speaker 4: That was one thing you mentioned Dead Pets that was
Speaker 4: really important that I kept in all the imperfections, and
Speaker 4: that's something that's really honored on this record also as
Speaker 4: we allow it to be organic and authentic and in
Speaker 4: that there's no way that it can be perfected.
Speaker 1: It has to.
Speaker 4: You have to let the flaws almost highlight them because
Speaker 4: it makes it so real.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's talk prison enough.
Speaker 2: Because that song is being played on lap here at kiss,
Speaker 2: it's like a heart request. People seem to love it
Speaker 2: and do a lepa. It seems like a great fit
Speaker 2: for you. Are you and that film clip? By the way,
Speaker 2: I mean, that's hot. You guys make the hottest couple.
Speaker 2: I was like, jeesy, I've got a boyfriend. But even
Speaker 2: I was like, let's watch that again.
Speaker 3: That was that?
Speaker 1: Yes, I live well listen.
Speaker 4: It was such a It was such a It was
Speaker 4: such a cool experience because she is someone that's really trusting,
Speaker 4: and you know, I really respect that because she brought
Speaker 4: no fear to what we were creating. She was really
Speaker 4: down to kind of you know, I think our individuality
Speaker 4: were very similar, but we're also very different. And I
Speaker 4: think that neither one of those were ignored. I think
Speaker 4: again they were. They were brought into the light and
Speaker 4: allowed the things that we have in common. You know,
Speaker 4: we we really celebrate them, but we also let the
Speaker 4: differences shine. And I think that's something that I guess
Speaker 4: we could all really use. And I think that's what
Speaker 4: makes each art is so unique, and allowing her to
Speaker 4: be her and allowing me to be me and not
Speaker 4: trying to kind of create one identity, but allow us
Speaker 4: both as individuals to be happy with what we made.
Speaker 2: How the single is great, but how could you not
Speaker 2: like fall in love with her rubbing around with fake
Speaker 2: blood and smashing sheet and punching wolls and like in
Speaker 2: the clothes that you were room.
Speaker 3: Was it a fun shoot?
Speaker 1: It was a very fun shoot.
Speaker 4: And more than that, you know, I feel like I
Speaker 4: really got to know her in a way that the
Speaker 4: chemistry Again, it's all about authenticity and there was nothing
Speaker 4: about it that was put on or an act because.
Speaker 1: We got to in creating this.
Speaker 4: She gave me direct contact where there was never any
Speaker 4: run around going you know, through teams or playing telephone.
Speaker 4: She really you know, we we even edited this video
Speaker 4: like over text message. I think it's a very current
Speaker 4: way of doing things. You know, I'd send her little
Speaker 4: clips say are you happy with this? And you know,
Speaker 4: her being happy with what we made and me feeling
Speaker 4: like I made something that you know, freaked people out.
Speaker 4: But you know, also I think people laugh, you know,
Speaker 4: especially when Divine comes on, because there you laugh you're
Speaker 4: in shock, you're grossed out, you're turned on. I like
Speaker 4: people to leave my video confused. It's like, how do
Speaker 4: I feel about this?
Speaker 2: Leaving and Miley Star's album is like leaving a good
Speaker 2: orgie you like. I like that, but right, but shit happened?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's always I like people to just know I'm
Speaker 4: not sure what happened, but I like it.
Speaker 1: You know, that's that's what you want.
Speaker 2: Exactly Right now. Album is great, It's out there in
Speaker 2: the world. People are loving it, They're consuming it. Are
Speaker 2: you happy, You're feeling good? Like you in a good
Speaker 2: spot right now? Creatively, I know that she's been crapping.
Speaker 2: It's such a shit question to be like, how have
Speaker 2: you been this year?
Speaker 4: But do you know, you know, there's some guilt with
Speaker 4: my answer because I am very I'm I'm super super,
Speaker 4: you know, grateful. I guess the gratitude overrides the guilt
Speaker 4: of feeling, you know, like, this year has been really
Speaker 4: amazing because I think everyone you know, there's been a
Speaker 4: little benefit slowing down and it's been really reflective and
Speaker 4: so that for a songwriter can be really beneficial.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I spoke to your sister. Actually, Noah I was.
Speaker 2: I met her when she first came to Australia way
Speaker 2: way way back, when I had her in and I
Speaker 2: had her in studio, and we've really tried to like
Speaker 2: pioneer and get.
Speaker 3: Her stuff on because I think she's incredible.
Speaker 2: She's got such a unique voice and the stuff that
Speaker 2: she puts out is so fun. And the last time
Speaker 2: I spoke to her, she I'm like, I've never spoken
Speaker 2: to your sister. What do you recommend? She was like,
Speaker 2: ask her about our dad's secret FaceTime phone. I was like, what, wait,
Speaker 2: what's the secret? And she's like, bye, I gotta go,
Speaker 2: want you can't leave?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Well, my dad.
Speaker 4: The thing about my dad's FaceTime phone is he actually
Speaker 4: doesn't really know how to use it. You have to
Speaker 4: call him on the non FaceTime phone before to walk
Speaker 4: him through like even turning the phone on.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: I sent my.
Speaker 4: Dad like a YouTube video the other day and it
Speaker 4: was basically like sending him instructions to mars, Like he
Speaker 4: really just.
Speaker 1: Had no idea what to do.
Speaker 4: So my dad, my dad has a theory that two
Speaker 4: blackberries equal an iPhone, which is not.
Speaker 3: At all true.
Speaker 4: No, no, So he at one time was like yeah,
Speaker 4: he had two blackberries. Now he's got a FaceTime phone,
Speaker 4: but it does nothing but FaceTime and it's always left
Speaker 4: on FaceTime, so he doesn't have to Actually, all he
Speaker 4: has to do is like swipe when we call.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, my.
Speaker 4: Dad still like paints on, you know, like you know,
Speaker 4: my dad is very my dad has He kind of
Speaker 4: jokes that we're all doing this social distancing now because
Speaker 4: my dad has been participating in isolation. Yeah, since nineteen
Speaker 4: ninety three. It's encouraged to stay distanced. And one of
Speaker 4: those that he, you know, kind of stays away from
Speaker 4: is technology and how quickly that it's updated.
Speaker 1: And he does not bless him blessing him.
Speaker 3: That's part of the job. Though.
Speaker 2: I love that he's got a separate FaceTime phote like
Speaker 2: he's the president, like he's got the nuclear codes.
Speaker 3: He needs it. It's yeah, he's backpocket. Yeah yeah, did
Speaker 3: your dad?
Speaker 2: I know my dad since he messages, I'm on the
Speaker 2: radio and I'm doing bits paces and you might love
Speaker 2: it so good Dad X, like you know, cent of it,
Speaker 2: like it's like a high creue, like cent of eight
Speaker 2: different paragraphs. Do you still get like the classic dad
Speaker 2: messages from your Dad.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, my dad thinks that every photo he takes
Speaker 4: is like a work of art, and he titles each
Speaker 4: of them with parentheses. Oh, but they will just be
Speaker 4: titled like what they are. So the other day he
Speaker 4: just wrote like river and I'm like, no, Dad, that's
Speaker 4: not like a river, Like that's an actual river. There's
Speaker 4: really nothing like about it. And there's like then it'll
Speaker 4: just be like bird, and you're like, no, that's an
Speaker 4: actual bird, Like there's really no reason to be like
Speaker 4: this about it, Like it's just a bird and that's
Speaker 4: not a title.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let him leave. He's creative. Live you having fun. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he's enjoying, right.
Speaker 4: I call this one bird. We're like, no, you don't
