4:40

so all you girls out there who get

4:42

box fan or white noise as your number

4:44

one artist and song every year listen

4:46

to me I fixed it I

4:49

don't know if I did it

4:51

because why the fuck is midland

4:53

my number one artist I

4:57

was gonna post that people gonna be like who

4:59

the fuck is midland people

5:02

saying just cuz I'm

5:05

living on the rocks that

5:07

fuck for some

5:09

reason my spirit needed to hear that you know

5:11

what it is is I like was getting into

5:13

midland like exploring other albums

5:15

and stuff and on my Google I

5:18

would go into the kitchen and I'd

5:20

say you know Google

5:23

because I don't want to trigger any Google's if you have

5:26

because every time I say that shit everyone in my house

5:28

goes off every single one of my house I

5:30

would say Google play Midland and

5:32

then that was the number one song of

5:34

the play and so every time and I'd be

5:36

like skip but it would still play it's clocking

5:38

in those hours whether or not I want

5:41

it to okay so

5:43

whatever middle is my number one artist

5:45

I don't give a shit I'm angry

5:47

I'm literally angry okay here's

5:50

the number one thing on my mind today

5:52

I feel fucking ugly do you

5:54

ever have days where you just

5:56

feel ugly that chicktock

5:58

that was like I feel I feel fat

6:00

when I have oily hair. I

6:05

feel fat when I have oily

6:07

hair. Yeah, that's

6:09

science, dude. I don't know how else

6:11

to put that. That perfectly sums it up.

6:15

I have a few zits on my face and

6:18

I have not been taking care of my skin.

6:20

I've been really in the throes of seasonal

6:22

depression. I just sit and stare.

6:25

I just sit and stare at the wall. I have

6:27

no motivation to do anything. It is currently 7pm right

6:29

now. I've been waiting around all day to do

6:32

this. I've been putting this off. It's

6:34

in my fucking house. This

6:36

studio is in my house. And

6:39

I was like, I just can't do it. Like,

6:41

get a grip, dude. It's

6:43

not that serious. Oh,

6:46

oh, you're sad because it's cold outside.

6:50

Grow up. Oh,

6:54

I don't have any motivation. It dropped

6:56

below 60 degrees. Oh my fucking

6:58

God. Like, are you serious? She's

7:01

a baby. I don't know. Oh,

7:04

that's a problem these days. No one wants to get up

7:06

and fucking work. Kim

7:08

Kardashian is so... When you think about it, Kim Kardashian

7:10

is the thought leader. When

7:13

you think about it, Kim Kardashian really like, we should

7:15

really look to her. For

7:17

her, for everything. Anyway,

7:20

yeah, I feel fucking ugly. And

7:22

also my hormones are so off balance.

7:25

They're so off balance. I just had this thought that on

7:27

the bottom of my ghost, vocal pop, I need to write

7:30

Brit, like Andy in Toy Story.

7:33

I'm going to go on all my Funko Pops and write, Britney

7:35

in the pop. This

7:38

is property of Britney. Yeah, that's

7:40

actually my ghost Funko Pop. That's actually my

7:42

Mandalorian Funko Pop. That's literally me. Okay.

7:47

Yeah, I feel sad and ugly, dude. And there's

7:49

nothing wrong with being sad and ugly. It's

7:54

just, you know, I'm not feeling that great. Not

7:58

feeling my best. I've been breaking out everywhere. I

8:00

have not been taking good care of my skin. I tried

8:03

out I

8:05

got a free sample

8:07

8:28

9:22

9:24

only person that ever watched that video fuck off That

9:28

video of Shane Dawson when he put

9:30

Kylie skin all over his face and

9:32

he Under

9:38

a fucking heat lamp he turns beat

9:41

red I Was

9:44

in the bathroom in my little my little robe

9:46

and I was like, I'm gonna be a skincare

9:49

girl I'm gonna try out this roach pussy this

9:51

roach pussy cream and I put on my

9:53

face My

9:56

skin like peeled back it was just exposed

9:59

muscle Let's just expose

10:01

tendons and muscle and teeth.

10:03

NOOOOOOO! I'm

10:06

morphing to Shane Dawson. Hit with some of you guys!

10:08

Yes! I was

10:10

like, what the fuck? So, I don't know

10:12

if anyone else has had this experience with... La

10:15

Roche-Poucet. That shit

10:17

had burned me. And then guess what? I go

10:19

on the ingredient list, fragrance. Parfume?!

10:21

The fuck did you put in

10:23

parfume in Station Step 4?! It's

10:26

2023! Get

10:29

that motherfucking fragrance

10:32

out of my skin tear! Ooh,

10:36

La Roche-Poucet! Ooh! My

10:39

skin is peeling off! My

10:41

skin is flayed off the

10:43

bone! I'm spitting everywhere! I'm

10:45

so mad! Ooh,

10:49

this is so rich! I'm feeling rich! I

10:51

put it on... Acid

10:53

chemical burn. Not

10:56

really, but close. So

10:58

I will not be using that brand

11:00

again. You know, the only brand, and

11:02

this is not sponsored, this is Horse's

11:04

Mouth to the listening ear of Broski

11:06

Nation. The only skincare

11:09

line that I've found that

11:11

actually works for my sensitive

11:13

skin, literally like, you breathe on me too heavy and

11:15

I'll get a rash, is Tatcha.

11:18

And I use the Tatcha cleansing oil and that

11:20

exfoliating rice polish or whatever it

11:22

is. And not once has

11:25

it burned me, not once has it

11:27

ever had a negative effect. It keeps

11:29

my skin smooth and clear. It is

11:31

the only one I've really

11:34

ever tried that consistently does

11:36

well for me. And then I do

11:39

use the Charlotte Tilbury moisturizer, which is

11:41

so fucking expensive for no reason! It's

11:43

a lotion! It's a lotion! Okay,

11:45

why's the lotion $98 fucking dollars? But

11:48

it's one of the only moisturizers I've found that

11:51

isn't that greasy texture. But

11:53

also isn't that? Like I tried this Neutrogena

11:56

moisturizer that was this water

11:58

gel shit. That just- about dried me

12:00

out like a strip of jerky. Like

12:02

I was left out to bake in the sun.

12:05

I put it on and I was like, you couldn't even tell I

12:07

put anything on. And I was thinking,

12:09

what was it like when you overwater a plant? Like,

12:12

is it just so thirsty? My skin's like, please,

12:14

please, please, please, please. Please more,

12:16

please more. And I'm like, ah,

12:19

no, no, no. Anyway,

12:23

yeah, I will not be continuing

12:26

use of my roach pussy

12:28

skincare line. Anyway,

12:31

I'm feeling just ugly and bad. And sometimes

12:33

you have days like that and that's fine.

12:37

Also, like I was saying, my hormones are out of balance. And

12:40

I guess there's a fucking music ex family

12:42

living in my throat. My

12:45

hormones are out of balance. I

12:47

don't know if this happens to anyone else, okay? And

12:50

all of you bitches are gonna try to diagnose me.

12:52

And you know what? I welcome it. At this point,

12:55

fuck it. Diagnose me. Oh,

12:58

you don't have a medical degree? I don't give a shit. Just diagnose

13:00

me. Just tell me what's wrong. It

13:02

is November 30th, bordering

13:05

on December 1. And

13:07

I have not had a period since June. So

13:10

what's up with that, do you think? Like,

13:12

that is so not good. Okay,

13:15

am I the next Virgin Mary? Am I

13:17

the next immaculate conception? Y'all

13:19

know I'm tough starved. I'm not getting it. There's no way

13:21

I'm pregnant. I'm the

13:24

next immaculate conception. I'm

13:28

34 weeks today. Holy

13:31

shit, it's almost Christmas. That's

13:34

why I've been bloated, dude. Jesus,

13:37

it's the queen. It's a twin. It's

13:39

Trisha Paytas, it's the queen. Okay,

13:42

I haven't had a period since June. The

13:45

last time this happened was during the pandemic. And

13:47

I literally was so, I worried myself sick and

13:49

I went to the gyno during,

13:52

this is TMI. I don't give a fuck, dude.

13:54

I am so past the point of like, trying

13:56

to maintain boundaries. I switched back and

13:58

forth on this. I'm like

14:00

my identity online and my presence

14:03

online is rooted and based in

14:05

sharing my life experiences in

14:09

seeking relatability and community

14:12

in the things I go through and

14:14

the joy of figuring out that

14:16

people relate to what I'm talking about

14:18

because no one's ever lived a unique experience.

14:21

And so there's a benefit and reward

14:23

inherently in sharing these things, right?

14:26

Especially normalizing it. When

14:32

you talk about things like this where,

14:35

you know, it's health. This is health. It's

14:37

women's health in a way that isn't like, ew, periods.

14:42

Boys when they go to the supermarket, stink

14:44

my penis at a football. Girls

14:47

when they go to the grocery store, I

14:49

got my periods in the produce section. If

14:54

you are a person with a uterus,

14:57

it's a scary, scary thing

14:59

because your like

15:02

livelihood and your

15:05

quality of life is tied to

15:07

what's going on in there. Like

15:09

the hormone imbalances, the pain, like

15:13

it affects everything in your body and

15:15

it's just so scary. So

15:18

not having a period for six months, that's like my

15:21

hormones are very out of whack. And the last time

15:23

this happened, it was during the pandemic

15:25

and I was like, I really don't want to

15:28

go to a fucking doctor's office during the pandemic.

15:30

Like it was, it was the middle of COVID,

15:32

but I had worried myself sick. I was like

15:34

balding. I had anxiety rashes. I was like, I

15:36

don't like I'm going to die. And

15:38

so I booked an appointment and I went in and

15:41

she did a blood test and literally all

15:43

it was, all it was, low

15:46

on vitamins. Bitch, I

15:48

needed a, I needed a Flintstones gummy. I

15:51

paid so much money to go to

15:53

the doctor for her to be like, just take a

15:56

vitamin D gummy. Oh,

15:59

I do think my house is haunted, but I'm fine with

20:50

it. I've made peace with it. This is like a 1920s house. And

20:55

think about all the life that's been lived in this house.

21:00

It's another fucking white man of the month.

21:02

And I just, at this point, I'm past

21:04

apologies. I'm past apologies. There's

21:06

really nothing to apologize for. I

21:08

just need to hold up a mirror to

21:10

my own face and just accept that I'm

21:13

no better than this, okay? I'm

21:17

no better than this. White boy of

21:19

22:16

say it when I'm drunk and I lean

22:18

into the British accent I'll start talking like I stay pretty

22:21

at the part each and I remain I'm like I'm from

22:23

Essex me

22:25

dad works for for the Royal Air Force

22:27

like I don't know I'm back and forth

22:30

I've always been back and forth but I

22:32

did go to college sorry not college University

22:36

in Essex but I've gone back and

22:38

forth to Texas a lot you know

22:40

I mean I really like Texas it's

22:42

really hot and it don't

22:44

get that hot like if it is

22:46

like my bio like my york or

22:48

something like that like when I go

22:50

to Texas it's really nice like

22:53

I've perfected that bitch and that's from

22:55

watching Towie the only way is Essex

22:57

and Love Island okay now

23:01

mentioning Love Island New

23:03

Castle that's bad New

23:05

Castle is such a specific English

23:09

accent and it's so it's it's

23:11

Geordie and it's close to Scottish

23:14

a little bit but it's also got

23:16

some Welsh in it and it's also got some Irish

23:19

in it and it's like very I don't

23:21

like I've been trying to pinpoint

23:26

where I've heard it before and

23:28

I oh my god I made a list hold on I have to share my list with

23:30

you okay

23:32

so I watch this I'm obsessed with accents

23:34

like that's my I think it's like a

23:37

it's a byproduct of the language thing like I'm

23:39

obsessed with learning a second language

23:41

and and dialects

23:43

within different languages and all that I

23:47

watched this video of this dude on

23:49

TikTok who also has a YouTube channel

23:51

I think called the accent guy and

23:54

he ran through all the

23:56

different a few of

23:58

the different UK accents and all the Who

26:00

gives a fuck? Raise your hand if you give a fuck!

26:03

27:12

Fender is very, very, very,

27:17

Maddie Healy coded. Hear

27:20

me out! Hear me out!

27:23

Okay, what I'm about to say! Just

27:26

hear me out, grain of salt. The

27:28

good parts of Maddie Healy, some of you guys

27:30

would argue, hey, there are none. Okay,

27:32

whatever, I'm not actually gonna give my opinion. The

27:35

good parts of Maddie Healy, the

27:40

activism, the cultural

27:42

awareness, the woke

27:45

liberal, I say that in

27:47

heavy quotations, perspective that he

27:50

brings to his art to write a song like

27:52

Love It If We Made It, to

27:54

write a song like Looking for Somebody to Love, which

27:58

is a song about school shootings, by the way. your

30:00

truth really does become

30:02

hearsay. When truth

30:05

is brought into question, you know that

30:07

is terrifying. And

30:09

poison me daddy, I've got the Jones

30:12

right through my bones, write it on

30:14

a piece of stone, a beach of

30:16

drowning three-year-olds. Rest in peace little

30:18

peep, the poetry is in the streets,

30:20

Jesus save us, modernity has failed

30:22

us. Beach of drowning three-year-olds, that

30:25

was, Maddie like tells this

30:27

story of in the UK, the

30:32

refugee crisis and how

30:35

children are always the first

30:37

victims and how it

30:39

really just shook the UK. Consultation,

30:41

degradation, fossil fueling, masturbation, immigration,

30:44

liberal kitsch, kneeling on a

30:46

pitch, that's about Colin Kaepernick

30:49

refusing to stand for the

30:51

pledge. I moved

30:54

on her like a bitch, excited

30:56

to be indicted, that's directly a reference

30:58

to Donald Trump, his famous, I

31:00

moved on her like a bitch, grabbed her by the

31:02

pussy. Unrequited house

31:05

with seven pools, thank you Kanye,

31:07

very cool. The war

31:09

has been incited and guess what,

31:11

you're all invited and you're famous,

31:13

and you're famous, modernity has

31:15

failed us. All of that together, I just like,

31:17

there's a certain, I always talk about this, there

31:20

is a certain level of

31:22

artistic excellence that is,

31:24

and I always describe

31:26

it like this, that the art is in

31:28

the marble and the artist is

31:30

merely just removing the excess pieces to reveal

31:32

that art that had to be there, it

31:35

was always there. That art always

31:37

had to be made because of course it was going to be made

31:40

and this is one of those songs to me. It's

31:42

like Maddie Healy, the 1975, this song means so much to

31:47

me because it's a

31:49

hard thing to encapsulate the feeling,

31:51

that that Bo Burnham funny feeling

31:53

of there's

31:55

so much hypocrisy and injustice

31:57

and joy and and

32:00

despair always. That is the human

32:02

experience. But we are witnessing

32:04

it on a scale that has never

32:07

been so visible to us

32:09

before. In songs like this

32:11

where it's just, it feels like a sucker

32:13

punch, just every verse is like, oh yeah and

32:16

that happened. Oh and did you forget about this? Did

32:18

you forget about this? And why was Trump praising Kanye

32:20

West? And why is this and that? It's just like,

32:22

what the fuck? And

32:24

then to throw religion into it. Jesus save us. Modernity has

32:27

failed us. I just think that this song is a work

32:29

of art. His

32:31

personal politics and his bullshit aside, whatever

32:33

Mattie Healy's done, I'm not going to

32:35

defend it. But this song changed

32:38

me. So

32:40

to bring it back to Sam Fender. He

32:43

has a song called

32:46

Hypersonic Missiles. Okay? This

32:49

song is very, very,

32:51

when I say Mattie Healy coded, that's

32:54

what I'm referring to. It's very brave

32:57

new world, you

32:59

know, big brother 1984, like this

33:04

class consciousness, helplessness,

33:09

but also being acutely

33:11

aware of, you

33:14

know, what role you might play

33:17

because we all have played a role

33:19

in colonization and

33:21

in the patriarchy.

33:26

And we have to unlearn those

33:28

things. And

33:30

Drew Afualo has been

33:32

really monumental

33:36

in my sort of understanding

33:39

of this of how you

33:41

can think you're doing the best you can. But

33:44

there are some things that are just so

33:47

inherent in our culture that uphold colonization

33:50

and uphold the patriarchy

33:52

and uphold misogyny. And

33:55

you have to make a

33:57

concerted effort to unlearn those

33:59

behaviors. And it's a hard and messy

34:01

process. And of course, I'm

34:03

only speaking on it through the lens of a white

34:05

woman. It's

34:07

so vastly different for

34:11

so many people who live in America that

34:13

I, no

34:15

one is free from the

34:18

grasp of the

34:20

patriarchal colonization of

34:23

our minds. Anyway, this

34:25

kind of is that. It's

34:27

this feeling that I feel

34:29

like I'm failing to articulate. But you

34:33

recognize all the things wrong with the world.

34:36

And there is a sort of obeisance

34:39

to these cruel elitists

34:42

where we feel that sometimes

34:45

our fate is in their hands because we

34:47

feel so powerless. And I

34:49

feel like something similar, something's happening in the

34:51

US right now, where the

34:53

cost of living is out the fucking

34:55

roof. To

34:58

be alive is just to suffer. And

35:02

I think the wealth gap

35:04

has never been more clear in

35:07

this country. And people

35:09

are literally approaching like

35:12

revolution will not be televised sort

35:14

of energy. People are fed up.

35:17

And so that level of

35:20

almost teetering towards that but still

35:22

just being feeling like

35:24

you're powerless. And that's why people don't vote. And

35:27

that's why people, even if you do vote, you're

35:29

like my vote doesn't fucking matter because no real

35:31

change is going to come from this. All of

35:34

us being forced to vote for Joe Biden was

35:36

a punch to the gut. It was the lesser of

35:39

two evils. I mean, that's my opinion. But

35:42

it's like nothing, it's so easy

35:45

to feel like, is anyone hearing

35:47

me? Is anyone seeing this?

35:50

And with this song, I think it encapsulates

35:52

that, of I'm seeing

35:54

it, I'm watching it, but what

35:56

the fuck can I do? What

35:58

can I do? I'm one person. Oh!

38:00

Oh, this is so funny! He

38:04

is one of those artists! He is one of those

38:06

artists that fucking gets it! All

38:08

the silver tongue suits and cartoons

38:10

that rule my world. It's such

38:12

a strange feeling. And

38:17

like, I hope that someone

38:19

can like, validate that

38:22

feeling like if you know it of I'm

38:25

smart enough to understand what's happening

38:27

and I'm smart enough to see

38:29

that history is repeating itself. All

38:33

the bullshit that

38:35

we're living through has happened time

38:37

and time again. Now it's just

38:39

tainted and poisoned by the idea

38:41

of technology being a variable in

38:43

it. Of technology

38:45

and cyber security and AI,

38:47

all of these things now

38:49

being influential elements and

38:52

influential factors in these

38:54

age old conflicts, you

38:57

know, human conflicts. I'm

39:00

seeing all of it happen and

39:02

I'm just like, I'm

39:04

so removed. Because you have to

39:06

be. You have to be removed

39:08

or you will literally go insane. Humans

39:11

were not meant to consume media at

39:13

the rate that we are today. I

39:15

don't know how anyone is like floating

39:17

with their head above water. It is

39:19

so all consuming

39:21

all the time. Inundated

39:24

with data and media and

39:26

memes and articles and TikToks

39:28

and videos and I can't

39:30

eat a fucking meal without

39:33

watching a tea spill video. Like I have

39:35

got to be stimulated all the time and when

39:37

I'm not I freak the fuck out. I

39:40

FREAK THE FUCK OUT! And

39:45

this isn't new. I'm not the first person to talk

39:47

about this. Everyone's talking about it.

39:50

I just feel like this music

39:53

makes it bubble up to the fucking top

39:55

for me. And I know some people don't

39:57

like to listen to music like that. Like

39:59

I know. that I know that it's kind of, you know,

40:02

that's why in the 2010s or what's it

40:04

called recession pop, like when

40:06

the world is going to shit and

40:09

the world's on fire, it's like club bangers

40:11

are coming out. Party Rock is in the

40:13

house tonight. You know, like,

40:15

like, let's just party, party or cares away.

40:19

And so I like this type of music, me,

40:23

me and then his album that came out in 2021 was about the

40:26

pandemic. And that's

40:28

a whole I could talk about it for

40:30

hours of how that it

40:32

just on top of the

40:35

technology aspect in global

40:37

conflict, the pandemic, we've never

40:39

recovered from it. If

40:41

you think we've recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic,

40:44

you are mistaken. We

40:46

don't know how to treat each other. We don't

40:48

know how to go out in public. Like, there

40:51

are things that will never be the same, obviously,

40:53

but it's like a loss

40:55

for humankind. Oh,

40:57

my God, I watch these scary TikTok sometimes I

40:59

have to stop myself of this

41:03

is we're technology

41:05

is advancing faster than humans can keep up

41:07

with and we are on the brink of

41:10

this fear of being thrust back into

41:12

the dark ages, because we can't keep up

41:14

and we're going to let it divide

41:17

us to a point that's

41:19

not fixable. And that's a real

41:22

scary thought that

41:24

we will be our own undoing as

41:27

humanity. Anyway,

41:29

but then after that comes a beautiful Renaissance. Renaissance

41:33

the movie. Anyway,

41:39

Sam Fender, Sam Finbaugh, he

41:41

has a song called How Down All

41:44

the Death Queue. And

41:47

this gives me like, I

41:50

don't know the exact nominar.

41:54

Is that the word nominar?

44:00

And I remember I literally remember

44:03

at the beginning of the pandemic I

44:05

had never used Instacart before, I had

44:07

never had like a grocery delivery service,

44:09

anything like that. This is when

44:11

they were saying like wear gloves

44:14

and masks and like disinfect

44:17

everything, disinfect your milk carton, disinfect

44:19

everything. Like it was such an

44:22

anxiety inducing thing to go to

44:24

the grocery store. And

44:26

so this is crazy because it's like oh

44:29

my god it made all those feelings

44:31

come back of like

44:33

the desk queue, the Aldi desk queue,

44:35

yeah bitch that's how it felt. Like

44:38

going to Ralph's, going to Kroger is like

44:40

I'm risking my life and it was. And

44:43

they would let old people go in first at

44:45

like 6am, god that just feels like I have

44:47

to remind myself that it actually happened. And

44:51

we were in Los Angeles, I mean it was like

44:53

the worst of the world. We were still wearing

44:56

masks into early 2022 which is just

44:58

wild. Like

45:02

Los Angeles never really, it feels like the rest

45:04

of the world opened up, even New York would like open

45:06

and close and open and close. The

45:08

South was totally open like three months

45:10

into the pandemic, part of the

45:12

problem. But then Los Angeles was so strict

45:16

for so long but there was no

45:19

like adherence to it. You

45:22

know like it would be oh we're getting

45:24

rid of the masks, the masks are coming back. It's

45:26

like that's not fixing it. Whatever

45:28

I could rant about it. At

45:30

the end of this song he says, whoa

45:32

whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa keep your

45:35

distance. Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa that's

45:37

less than two fucking meters. Because you had to stand

45:39

two meters away from each other. Oh

45:41

I love him. Okay so my favorite,

45:45

I always do this, I have to give a 48 minute

45:48

precursor to why these are my three

45:50

favorite songs of the week. Fuck

45:53

me. Okay. Three

45:56

favorite songs of the week. Long

45:59

way off. actually it's gonna be six. Long

46:02

Way Off by Sam Fender. I

46:05

by Sam Fender. Call

46:08

Me Lover by Sam Fender. White

46:11

Privilege by Sam Fender. That

46:14

Sound by Sam Fender. Howd and

46:16

Aldi. Death Q by Sam Fender. Getting

46:19

Started by Sam Fender. Like

46:22

from both of the albums it's there's honestly

46:25

for me the only skips are like the really

46:27

slow sad ones because I'm just really not in the headspace

46:30

to listen to that right now. Okay.

46:33

I'm just really not. I'm really

46:35

not. And

46:38

then I didn't know because my friend

46:40

Cat got me into Sam Fender. Okay.

46:42

Now hear me when I say that.

46:44

Cat is like so plugged in to

46:46

like British music scene. She's she

46:49

loves that shit. She's always like we talk

46:51

music all the time. She

46:53

told me about Sam Fender like

46:57

two years a year and a half ago and I

46:59

was like yeah I'm not really into. I have you

47:01

know Arctic Monkeys 1975 like my sort of tumbler

47:06

era of British

47:09

pop rock alt indie rock. I'm good. I

47:11

like the wombats. You know I like that

47:14

sort of thing. She was

47:16

like no he said trust me and I was like whatever. Girl

47:19

it came on shuffle and I was like

47:21

no what have we here? And then I was

47:23

like holy shit this is that dude Cat told

47:26

me about. And so I've been of course obsessively,

47:30

obsessively listening

47:33

to him. Watching

47:35

all of his Reading and

47:37

Leeds performances. All of his

47:39

Glastonbury festival performances. He

47:42

did a you know how

47:44

BBC radio one does the

47:46

the live lounge covers where

47:48

like Harry did Wet Dream

47:50

and the Lizzo song and

47:52

when people

47:54

cover each other's songs he

47:56

did a cover of Break Up With Your

47:58

Girlfriend I'm Bored by R&R. Grande for a

48:00

small period. Second of all he did one

48:02

of Back to Black, Baby, Winehouse, period.

48:06

And he like Sam Fenders it up.

48:08

He like makes it sound like it's

48:10

his song, which is such a skill.

48:12

Like not only do you have a

48:14

skill in identifying and branding your own

48:16

sound, but to the point where you

48:18

can take someone else's body of work,

48:21

rearrange it, and make it sound

48:23

like your own song. That is

48:25

talent! That is

48:27

talent motherfucker! I love him! Hee-wee!

48:34

Get into Sam Fender Bitch because it's gonna, it's gonna be

48:36

a one, this is gonna be probably one of those

48:38

like constant

48:41

heavy hitters for me. I

48:44

hope he doesn't do anything that's gonna

48:46

make me upset. I

48:48

love him. There's

48:50

always a fear there of coming on record being like, I

48:52

love this person and then tomorrow he's

48:54

gonna do some stupid bullshit. And now

48:56

for the rest of time I'm in

48:59

my tombstone here like she

49:02

loved Sam Fender. Fuck! Oh!

49:06

I do think, and this is not the time to have

49:09

this discussion, but we really should

49:12

open up that wound of what

49:15

do you do when your favorite person lets you down?

49:17

Are you inherently tied to them

49:19

forever? Or can you still be

49:21

nostalgically uh sympathetic

49:24

to what that piece of art has done

49:26

for you in your life and be disconnected

49:28

from the artist? I feel like

49:31

that it's a constant, some people are like

49:33

he's a piece of shit, never talk about

49:35

him again, oh she still

49:37

supports da-da-da! And it's like, well I

49:39

didn't know he was doing all that girl! If

49:42

I would have known that you think I still would, you

49:44

know it's like there's no nuance in

49:46

these conversations and it's very hard

49:50

to be a fangirl nowadays, trust and believe.

49:52

You have to, I have to literally put

49:54

these people through a fucking background check to

49:56

make sure that it's okay to like them.

49:58

It's crazy. Anyway,

50:02

I've also been on my Dark Academia grind,

50:05

aside from Sam Fender. I've got

50:07

this, there's a playlist on Spotify

50:09

called Dark Academia. Dark

50:11

Academia, studying and reading. Get into that.

50:14

I've been putting this on while I read. This has been great. Alright

50:17

guys, I think that'll do it for me for

50:19

this episode. Oh, next time

50:22

I'll talk about Kingdom of Ash and, because

50:24

I finished, I finished the entire Throne of Glass

50:26

series. Wow. Wow, wow,

50:28

wow, wow, wow. Emotionally

50:33

void. Okay.

50:36

I sobbed so hard. I'll talk about it next episode.

50:39

And I guess people who are going

50:41

to read it or don't want spoilers can

50:43

skip ahead. Like they have the next episode. But

50:47

I want to talk about it, okay? Because

50:49

SJM, wow, period. Sarah J Maas.

50:52

What a universe builder. I'm about to

50:54

start, I want to start Crescent City. Because

50:57

that's the third installment in the

50:59

Sarah J Maas universe, like

51:01

the sort of concentrated universe. But

51:04

I kind of want to give myself a break from Sarah J Maas

51:06

because I went straight from Akatar into

51:08

Throne of Glass and I want to read

51:10

Fourth Wing. And I'm going

51:12

to read Fourth Wing and then the sequel just came out. So, and

51:14

that's what I've been waiting for is I wanted to read them

51:16

back to back. Then I'll go back to

51:18

Crescent City. Yeah,

51:20

that's kind of my game plan. So

51:23

yeah, I love you guys. Thanks for

51:25
