Episode Transcript

(00:27):
We are back. I think ourmics are working vocals. By the way,
oh due, Wow, it's beena while. It has you guys
been. I'm seen you in yourdude Hi eighties realm Angelina. If you
guys forgot, I'm Angelaque and I'ma B. I can't even see a

(00:50):
B. I have like this biggestcomputer screen, like completely bogging him.
I can feel your energy. Yeah, our energy is strong. I could
feel you. I've lost this computerscreen across mykiped to screen. I guess
we'll talk about what's do in Bitch. But in this week's episode, in
for the Culture, we are talkingabout J Cole doing the most J Cole
thing possible. And let's talk TV. Some fire movie trailers have it dropped,

(01:15):
And in Bitch we give an updateon our lives. I got an
update on Carpenter Bed, so byall means, let's get to it.
This is for the culture, forthe culture, for the culture. This
is where we pick a headline andask if they, she or he did
it for the culture. You guys, J Cole did the most J Cole

(01:36):
thing possible. He really did this. Man dissed Ketchrick Lamar on a Thursday
and apologized by Sunday he did,so let's I mean, I guess if
you've been living under a rock Metroin Future drop their album we Don't Trust
You, And on there they havea song called like that is Hard a

(01:57):
sample to Everlasting bass sample and KetchachLamar is on there, and I feel
like everyone gets really excited because KenDrake drops every now and then, like
now he's hat the surprising Us,but he definitely took jabs at Drake and
J Cole and he's talking about firstPerson Shooter because you know, a lot
of people are trying to say hewasn't as direct, but I'm like it
clearly was a jab. He saidfirst person Shooter when fuck the Big Three,

(02:20):
it's just big Me and yeah,people were in a tizzy about that.
J Cole surprise drops an album.What was it like a week later?
Maybe m M two weeks later,yeah, yeah, it was like
this past Sunday, maybe Sunday before, yes, yeah, last week whatever
called my delete later And on thelast track is seven minute Drill where he

(02:45):
is coming for Kendrick Lamar and honestlygave him some bars a little bit.
I'm I don't hate j Cole Youguys, right, But and I used
to love him when I was likein high school, but here you grow
up in your taste cal Like,I really don't hate him, but like
he is, I'm like a bigrap fan. I'm a hard critic and
he is a little corny to me. That's some suspect bars that I just

(03:07):
cannot get past. And yeah,he just became a little bit of a
snooze fest to me. I'm notgonna lie lately, okay, but when
he when he first dropped it,I'm not gonna lie. And I'm not
saying Kendrick's Verse was overrated because Ilike like that, like and something that
does put it over similar to whatDrake dig to Meek Mill is that like

(03:29):
it's a club record, Like peoplewant to dance to it, Like that's
the best thing you could do ina dis if it's something people are dancing
to and just like bumping. Yeah, I saw someone tweet like, uh
they play like that the hair salonisegirl started to working, Like if you
could do that and just someone atthe same time, like that's he It's
really gonna be played everywhere. SoI love like that. I played it
in the in the in the gym, like that's like one of my go

(03:50):
to songs, like it gets megoing. I will say J Coles was
a lot more direct. Yeah,Like he was very much like Kendrick fucking
talking to you, like justographies trashall this shit that he was saying.
You know. But wo that beingsaid and back to Kendrick, I feel
like Kendrick did just have that onebar which was still a little little ransom

(04:11):
das it was more of a warningshot. It was Kendricks wasn't like a
full disc. It was like alittle warning shot like hey y'all, calm
down, I'm still the best.Yeah, fuck y'all. So what I
did respect about J Coles was thatit was more direct. But did I
agree with anything he said, Likehe tried to say tip a Butterfly wasn't
good? M Yeah, questionable question. I know a lot of people that

(04:33):
I like that album personally. Ican see why some people don't. It's
not for everyone, but there issomething about J Cole and iking it.
Like if you were to tell mewas J Cole's favorite kend I thought it
would be butter Fly or you know, people do those like Twitter threads where
it's like rappers as shoespers as KendrickLamar albums makes sense. That makes sense.

(04:56):
That makes sense now that I'm thinkingabout it, thinking about Kendrick's whole
discard graphy. Yeah, right,jakele would be that, I'm like you
lying as like I just don't believeyou, and then like I forgot what
the other bar was, like,oh, like if he ain't disoniss we
wouldn't be discussing him if he ain'tdissini uced or something along those lines,
like we're only talking about you everto come back and disc people. But
it's like, literally in first personshooter, did you not name him right

(05:17):
exactly? Top three rapper? Yeshe did. I was gonna say that.
I was going to say that,so you were discussing him in your
latest single exactly, and now sothe fact wasn't mathing. I don't.
I was still giving him points.I was like, wow, yeah,
how did you feel about disc inthe first case, he definitely wouldn't have
done that if Kendrick did not firethose warning shots, because yes, I

(05:40):
was gonna mention he did say thathe was top three, right, Like,
I wassah, that's kind of crazy. He's like, but I digress.
Yeah, I know for real,second thought up to him, Yeah,
giving it's kind of giving wishy washy. Yeah, but I was like,
are these bars? I don't know, but I will give Jake Cole

(06:00):
the proz for being direct. Shookshut up, and I'm not No.
I am kind of hated on thisalbum, the Big Steppers album, because
on Twitter everyone was basically defending toPimp a Butterfly, like whether it's trash
or not, because he has someother bars about like he tried to use
uh he basically sole like all ofjay Z's from Takeover, Like that's a

(06:21):
lot of hot album every ten yearaverage. Like he said something similar,
but it's like Jake y'all drop albumsat the same time, like that time
frame. He said, y'all droppedthe same amount of albums in that time
frame, Yeah, the same Likeit just wasn't making sense. But like,
I'll give you an a for effort, because, like, like I

(06:43):
said, it's more direct all that. Ship of course had to he had
to respond, He had to saysomething, and he did it was he
did he drive it home this questionat his own music festival, what is
the dream film? So it's calledYes, apologize for ninety seventy two hours,

(07:04):
you guys, seventy two hours hetook to apologize. Let me pull
up the audio so you can hearwhat he had to say. I put
out this project on Friday called MikeDelete Later. I don't know how many
people don't checked it out or whatever. I put this project out, and
I swear to god, I'm soproud of that project because I know one

(07:24):
is just a leader. It's justan EP that leads me up to this
thing that I've been working on fora long time, and I know the
work it took to get to acertain type of skill level. And I
love this shit, so that shitnmean a lot to me writing. So
I'm so proud of that project,except for one part. It's one part
of that shit that make me feellike, man, that's the lamest shit

(07:46):
I ever did in my fucking life. And I know this is not what
a lot of people want to hear. I know I can hear my niggas
up there right now, like,nah, I don't do that, But
I got to keep it one hundredwith y'all. Right. I damn near
had a relay as right, becauseI heard the ship that happened two two
three weeks ago, however long itwas, y'all, y'all, y'all heard

(08:07):
that from Zuker that was dropped onthe motherfucking game, right, So,
all of this time of me movingon my own accord, for the first
time, I was tested. Whyam I tested? Because I got the
world and I got my niggas,like what you gonna do? Call exactly
my niggas, like bitch boy,I must have had a thousand in this

(08:28):
cause, oh my fucking guy,text flooded. I couldn't even answer my
ship nigga's war time boo. Right, niggas want to see blood. And
I was conflicted because one, Iknow my heart, you know what I
mean, and like, I rememberyou how I feel about my peers,

(08:48):
these two niggas that I've just beenblessed to even stand beside in this game,
let alone chase chase their greatness.Right. So I felt conflicted because
I'm like, bro, I know, I don't really feel no way,
but the world want to see blood. I don't know if y'all can feel
that, but the world want tosee blood. So I say all of
that to say in my spirit oftrying to like get this music out.

(09:13):
I ain't gonna lie to y'all.I moved in a way that was that
I feel spiritually feel bad on me, Like like I try to like jab
my nigga back and I try tokeep it friendly. But at the end
of the day, when I listento it and when it comes out and
I see the talk, that shitdon't sit right with my spirit. That
shit makes me feel that shit disruptsmy fucking peace. So what I want

(09:33):
to say right here tonight is inthe midst of me doing that and in
that shit trying to find a littleangle and downplay this, this nigga's fucking
catalog in his greatness, I wantto say, right now tonight, how
many people think Kendrick Lamar is oneof the greatest motherfuckers to ever touch a
fucking microphone? Dreamville. Y'all loveKendrick Lamar? Correct as do I.

(10:00):
This is all it is, soCorney. Oh my god, Wait,
that's my first time hearing the fullthing. I was conflicted. Yeah,
to my point, To my point, Jay said, Jay Cole said all
that stuff just to say something becausehe had to say something. He felt
pressure. Yeah, he felt pressured. So that's why nothing he was saying

(10:22):
really like nothing really hate like andthere's so many people that like, I
know, they love j Cole andthey're like, you've never been a situation
where you know you fucked up,like he's maturing and like, you know,
we can't be like rooting for violence. First of all, the whole
violence take. I need everyone tostop it, like this is rap.
It's fun. Like everyone was tweetinglike this rap is a sport and part

(10:46):
of it is the beef. Itreally is. It really is A man
that said, you've been on mymind, like Kaepernick Nilan, I'm not
thinking, oh man, he's gonnashoot Kendrick, like it's gonna turn the
violence. The man that said,I let you feel like this shit,
but you can outfart me. Noone who's believed that was like guns and
violence involved. I promise you theyboth like or like semi conscious wrappers or

(11:11):
like you know, talk about likedeep shit like even Kendrick. I mean,
Kendrick, I don't know. Idon't think they would have got there.
So everyone talking about like, oh, we can't promote violence, like
shut up, shut up, shutup. It really did give. I
felt pressured. I had to saysomething, so I said something. And
that's like straush am I thing ifwe're gonna call him mature, like the

(11:31):
mature thing would have been, Irespect him if you just never said anything,
but you already said some shit,so stand on your ship. Yeah,
but to go back and apologize isso fucking corny, Like I've never
seen anything like this in my life. Agreed, Agreed. I hate rap
music right now. I didn't.I'm not gonna lie. This not my
big three, not my victory.But that's crazy. And anyone like trying

(11:54):
to cap for this, you're crazy. I don't want to hear. I
don't want here know it was mature. We need this, no bruh and
he dm your like needs rap probation, Like I feel like you should go
to like rap jail or something likethis. He probably apologized because what he
was saying wasn't like, it wasn'tgood. But then we just apologize a

(12:16):
lot of people there. I don'tknow if I agreed, because okay,
my timeline was definitely divided. Buteven for me, like I liked J
Cole's diss I thought he was buggingabout tipip A Butterfly and I was gonna
mention this earlier, like a littleJoki joke. Ain't nobody defended the Big
Steppers album though, Yeah, Andwhat I will say, there's there's like
three songs I do funk with onthere? What is it rich Spirit?

(12:39):
I keep calling it rich PARI it'snot. And I wasn't there for it.
I wasn't. I wasn't feeling it. I don't know it. I
do that that song, how doesit go? I already forgot? See,
wasn't that great? No? Really, she doesn't know y'all? Are
you strap? Brother? Like?I love that song, but I'm trying
to think of the chorus because it'sfunny, but I can't think of it

(13:01):
right now. I'm just having arain part. I'll think of it later.
But to me, it was analbum that it's like when you see
a really good movie, but you'relike, I'm never gonna watch that movie
again, Like it's replay value justwasn't there for me. It's not my
favorite Kendrick album. I'm not gonnalie. I mean, there was a
lot of hypho it because I getat the storytelling all that stuff, But
it wasn't it but it's funny becausehe does that one to annoy one,

(13:24):
like not a lot of people weredefending it, like it's like, oh,
might have been true. I didlike what he said, like I
actually was exciting becau this does shakeshit up. Like I love Kendrick.
I'm a big fan, but thereis stuff like when we talk about the
goats that I will argue with people, Like there's a lot of stuff that
I'm like, I don't know ifKendrick is there, you know. So

(13:46):
I was excited about this and thenthis motherfucker just like went all the way
back on it, Like I justI can't wrap my rinder around the fact
how corny this is. And Ithink the mature thing to do if if
you are going to talk about thatis more like, well, don't blame
it on your boys were pressuring you, you know what I mean, Like
that's not really yeah, and youknow what, the main question, the

(14:07):
main warning shot was like that younot like that, and you just proved
that period. So like that definitelywins now, Like I would have gave
Joe Colt if that was like abattle, maybe give him point, but
he just lost all points. Andnow you need to go to rab jail
and sit in his little corner.Lakolmar One, j Cole zero Yeah negative

(14:28):
bro on the map count boy cardthough has dropped. So good, so
good? What do you guys say? Okay, So for me, I
think my favorite is definitely I likeLevigene so much. Really post Malone sounds

(14:50):
on that s it's so good.I don't just like post me on.
I saw him live. He's likea good performing I forget, like,
oh you got that song young,but I'm not in love with him.
But I was like, oh,like, you're talented. I'm in love
with him. Bro that he wentoff on that so good. Okay,
So Levi's Jean's top tyrant crazy.Yeah, what about you guys, it's

(15:15):
almost wanted. It's good to Ohmy god, Bro. Her and Miley
Cyrus' vocals like blended, so perfect. Miley is on the whole track,
She's singing the whole time. Yesthat is, that's not that's we're both
on a chair together. They're likegoing back and sport like together. I
haven't heard a true duet like thatin a long time. On they don't
make him like that anymore, especiallyfrom her, you know, like don't

(15:39):
do that exactly, And I meanI always love Miley Cyrus' vocals, like
even I'm not the big Bangers fanlike that era either. Yeah, respectfully
here that's like his favorite. Yeahher when she was like in her crazy
face, I remember like kind ofbeing over her. You just feel like
she's annoying and I'll never forget.She came out with her MTV Unplugged and

(16:00):
she did a cover of Arctic Monkeys. Why do you want to call me
when you're high? And when Itell you this bitch snatched all her respect
back like it's honestly one of myfavorite covers, like ever, like it's
in my top ten favorite covers.She flipped it. And even if you
like, go on the YouTube commentsbecause you know, like people who are
like into alternative and like rock,they can't wait to shit on the pop
bitch, you know, like theyhate it. Everyone of the comments is

(16:22):
like, damn, I love artand Monkeys. I gotta give it to
her, Like I don't even fuckwith but this is Hella good Like she
like flipped it, made her ownsong. She fucking killed it. I
need to watch it. I'm gonnaplay for you right after this fucking episode
from this, but wow, absolutelykills it. So I always like had
respect for Miley's vocals at least evenwhen she like annoyed me as an entertainer.

(16:44):
I love her now Honestly, Ilove Miley as an artist all around.
But no, she did that.I have Bodyguard on repeat. You
do take the top off off myfucking jo. Yeah, I al really
have like turls in my head thatI want to make to it, like
I just pretude a wrong com like, like yes, honestly, that's how
I feel about Leva Junes. Yeah, I just I haven't played I've listened

(17:11):
every time I've listened to the album. I've listened to it from start to
finish. I haven't chosen the songyet that's my favorite because I take it
Beyonce really seriously and it's really hardfor me right now. I need you
got asked me like a month fromnow? No, because yeah, I
don't know. I don't know forsure, and I feel like it's gonna
change every week to like I'm alwaysevery day. That's how it was a
renaissance too, like this is myfavorite and then like my favorite now was

(17:33):
not my favorite when it first cameout like it was probably my favorite for
the first time and now like probablyAlien Superstar, you know what I mean.
Like transitions on this album, Yes, Solowless so good. I do,
I will say, because yeah,I'm like you two baby, but
I will say I do. Idon't know if I have a favorite,
but I do love the second halfof the album more than like I was

(17:55):
gonna say that, I was gonnaI think it's a good transition into renaissance
too perfect like all she made thisway before, like it goes right into
it, and well, yeah,that second half is very renaissance e.
And I saw that, you knowme with like theories and all this stuff,
I well, no, this isactually this was actually kind of cool.

(18:18):
So I saw one a little bitafter the album dropped, and it
said something about like like how coolwould it be if Act three is like
really the beginning, so like say, like you have to plan the backwards
for them to make sense, andbecause of the whole second have been very
like renaissancey, they're kind of thinkinglike okay, like it kind of transitions
into it perfectly. So imagine likea trilogy art piece that's like you could

(18:42):
hear it from the chronological order thatshe released it, but then also reverse
like that's pretty sick, that'd fire. But I have a theory that Act
three is going to be a straightbounce album like the Way River Dance.
A lot of the records have likevery bouncy feelter and I can hear it
just being like straight up like NewOrleans, I'm here for that. A

(19:02):
lot of people are saying rock.I know, I heard that rock and
gospel, which I thought was interesting, but I don't know if she'll do
that. I thought rock would makemore sense just because she's very in her
like we're taking back what's ours,you know, like this is a big
fuck you to like those white andlike this album literally was made off her
being petty because some white people pissedoff and said you can't be here.
So she was like, bet,I'm about to make it. Liked fucking

(19:25):
album period, So it would makemore sense for her. That's rock because
like literally Elvis, everyone, everyfamous rockstar you could think of, hes
still from black rock stars, likeit started with black music. Sidebar,
did you guys have seen that clipof like Dave Girls, how they still
from the Gap band? No?Oh god? That might be the end
clip for this, but it justgoes to show like people are Everything starts

(19:48):
with black musicians. But he's talkingto Pharrell and he basically says that smells
like teen Spirit. They stole allthat ship from the Gap band and when
he met them, he was like, dude, I've been stealing from you
for years, and the guy waslike, I now I think I've seen
it. Yeah, fire, butthat'd be cool. She did a rock
one, but I am kind ofreading for a Bounce album. But you

(20:10):
know, Beonce is gonna make itfun either way. Yeah, I'm rooting
for it all. I'm excited eitherway. But this album is really perfect
and it's exactly like like you saidAV two, Like it's really sensitive about
Beyonce and we really got to sitwith it. But I'm already feeling like
this is like one of her bestalbums that she's done, like the production,
the vocals, helf she said thisis she tells that keep coming out

(20:33):
like she was at a iHeartRadio MusicAward, she got the Innovator Award presented
to her by Stevie Wonder Iconic Iconicand then just casually, as you know,
he's like announces her. He's likeabout to leave, and she's like,
oh, thanks for playing the harmonicaon Jolene, like what and it

(20:53):
just like random to like, ohyeah, they willly Nelson to do like
the background guitar likes like random legendaryship, Like she's really all about the
details and it shows. Oh Ilove the one that for all produced the
sweet Honey. Yeah that would gocrazy too. But yeah, river Dance
right now is like on repeat formy uh playlist. That's a good one.
Okay, Okay, that's my damna little squat Okay, guy.

(21:19):
You know what, A lot ofpeople are like criticizing the whole like writer's
credit thing and how there's like abunch of people on it. But I
kind of like that she did thatbecause a lot of people are finally getting
like recognition that never did before,you know what I mean, So like
now that all these songs are charting, Like Linda Martell, for example,
just like is finally on the topone hundred on Billboard, which she deserves

(21:41):
to be years ago, but Inever had the chance, and had it
not been for like giving her credit, you know, those kinds of things
probably wouldn't have happened, So Iapplaud her for that. Yeah, and
I guess, but it's like alot of those artists that you think did
all on their own, like theyjust exactly, they just haven't credited the
people that they need to, yeah, books, whether it's in the songwriting,
whether or like there's people like yousee cases come up all the time,

(22:04):
like hey, you actually stole thatwhole ship from me, you know,
like like bands come out of nowhere, like actually, yeah, that
sounds really familiar. I'm finally gonnaget my piece for it. So exactly,
I agree with you ab on thatone, but I love it still
running it exactly. I don't knowif I have a favorite honestly my favorite,
I I my favorite or might justlike infatuated with it at the time,

(22:26):
you know, like the Sun iscoming out, that's a song like
right when I get in my cardas a song per song, I play
and then I like play the albumand then I feel like there's categories for
me too, because I think about, like what's my favorite song, like
vocally, what's my favorite song?Lyric wise? Dead lot? Yeah,
fully becoming to me like an alltime Beyonce record, Like it's the top

(22:47):
five greatest song She's ever met.And I love Daughter. I really like
Daughter. It's very like dark andvery like Yeah, it's about Beyonce,
like like a surface on the surface, it's like her getting rid of over
some girl for doing god knows what. We think it's like cheating or something,
you know. But then when youlike peel back the layers and look
deeper, like there's so many waysyou can apply it. And I don't

(23:10):
know, like lyrically, I reallylike that one too. Uh yeah,
I love shit Talking Beyonce. HotTake the Joline is not my favorite.
Uh it's might be my least favoritefrom the album the least I'm going to
the least for me. Okay,this is my thing. I love Beyonce
like it's fun. I will listento the cover there is I and I

(23:32):
love Shittalking Beyonce. It's my favoriteBeyonce of all the Beyonces there is.
But there's nothing about Joeline that's likevery vulnerable and like that's like the whole
theme of the song, and likeBeyonce is a vulnerable at all in it.
It's more like fuck you you knowwhat I mean, which I like,
I said, I love shittalking Beyonce. But like for Joline, that's
what makes the song so great isthat Dolly is so vulnerable and so like

(23:56):
defeated like in the record. Soyeah, that's all I'll say about that
one. Maybe you can interpret itboth ways too, though, you know,
like maybe if it wasn't Beyonce,but like like if if you're talking
all this shit, like sometimes thereare people, probably not Beyonce, but
there are people that like talk hotshit because they're vulnerable, because there's insecurities

(24:19):
there, you know what I mean. So if you look at it from
that angle, maybe, but comingfrom Beyonce, she's not known to you
know, she's known to be abad bitch. Like yeah, yeah,
well in that same message, Imean, no, I don't think that's
being vulnerable, but I will saywe already have anthem of that, Like
sure it's being mad about the situationfor sure, but I feel like we

(24:40):
already got that with Ring the Alarm, Like that's that kind of anthem right
there, So like that was kindof already fulfilled with me with Ring the
Alarm, and I just wasn't gettingAngeline, like Joelne's a record to be
vulnerable and sad like, that's totallynot what she's being at all in that
record. If I have to choosebetween ring their Alarm and Joline ring the
Alarm, yeah period, right rightright. So as far as like the
theme and the message, that wasalready fulfilled for me. But I'm not

(25:03):
I'm not hating on now. I'mjust saying like it's probably my least favorite
for out of all the okay,all the songs, but I love that
one. I think it's perfect.I'm gonna need her to hold off though.
On and I was a tour tour. I'm gonna say I got the
batch trip coming up, man.I got my off here ready. I'm
wearing my Halloween Yeah, my Halloweencostume. I was a cowgirl. It

(25:23):
was so cute. I learned thatto be next tour. So I got
my offit covered. I don't haveit like because that I don't have it
owned, but I have a outfitalready in my head. Okay, okay,
yeah, yeah, yeah, Iread I have a few literally Beyonce
doing the culture always. J Coleabsolutely not. Let's talk some TV real

(25:52):
quick. I haven't really been onmy TV game, but what I did
do is for the very first time. Before I say this, you guys,
I just want to let you know. When I was younger, my
mom was so strict. I couldn'twatch anything. Like I was not allowed
to watch American Pie, which I'mgonna bet right now I still haven't seen
ever crazy, but I was notallowed to watch anything. I was allowed.
I watched wrestling. That's it.As a kid channel, you got

(26:15):
wrestling. Yeah. I was ableto watch wrestling Disney Channel, which oh
quite on set. We're not evenget to that, but I guess she
watched some of those shows either,uh Nickelodeon. With that being said,
these past couple years, I've beendoing some catching up on some TV shows
and I finally watched Sex in theCity for the very first time. I

(26:36):
actually just finished it last night.The series, Yeah, I get the
hype. I did love it.It is. It's a great background show.
Yeah, to have on I don'tknow. I don't know if it's
because they finally put it on Netflix. I watched it on HBO though,
but it's crazy, Like on mytimeline, there's been so much Sex in
the City like trends and talks andabout how like Carrie because she's the main

(26:56):
character. Now she's just like insufferableand like, what is like there's one
right now where it's like, where'sher worst moment and people are like stitching
it it is, And yeah,I agree, But honestly, in the
beginning because my friend, one ofmy good friends, Christina, she like
already watched. She's the one thatwas like, you need to watch Sex
in the City. So I waslike, Okay, I watch it.
I think we watched episode together.We had like a little wine night,
and I was like, it's okay. But then I like got hooked on

(27:17):
it, like I do. Andthe first couple of seasons, I was
like, I don't get why peoplehate Carrie, Like I've sucked with her.
I thought she had a personality,bitch. I don't know if it
was season five, but when theycut this bitch's hair off, short hair
was nice and they got rid ofher personality when they got rid of her
hair, because like, that's whenshe becomes insufferable. Samantha best character.
Did you guys watch Sex and City? I was gonna say, I've never

(27:38):
seen it either. I have seenlike one of the movies they made it,
unto a movie. I've never seenit. I saw one movie,
No, not all of them,and I've never seen the show. Yeah
there's like about it, right,like or like yeah yeah there's yeah,
yeah yeah yea that the situation stillremove. I don't know who's Sarah Jessica

(28:00):
Parker's character Carrie Brett. Okay,I know the character Samantha, that's the
one who doesn't come back, whichnow I totally understand why people were mad,
because she literally is the best character. She's like I don't want to
call her a home but she's veryyou know, she's open with her sexuality,
like she obviously around with anyone shedoesn't care. But she's also the

(28:22):
reallest one and like the most truestto herself and very like I don't give
a fuck. She tells me howit is. But she's also like low
key the greatest friend on there.We love that. We love a good
friend. She's such a good friend. And then there's this other girl,
Charlotte. It's four friends. SoCharlotte is very she's like kind of a
prune, but I love her.She's actually my second favorite character. She's
starting to teet to herself too,and she's a good friend. We love
good friends we love? Are theyall good friends or no? Carrie,

(28:47):
it carries a little trash. I'mnot gonna lie. She has some she
has some moment. I literally justsaid she was a good friend. Carrie,
Charlotte is a good friend. Ohsorry, sorry, I don't know.
Is she like Phoebe? From Friends? You have to say people friends.
She's one of my favorite characters,but I think out of all of
them, she's like the most shittiestfriend if you really look at it.
What if you really look at them? Disagree? No, you can rewatch

(29:11):
it? No, tell me,please give an example, Like I love
Phoebe. I'm trying to think goingoff the in my head, but like
she's always the one that's like looky, like not like she's the funniest one
and everything, but like she's lokey, the one that like will put you
down or will like say your shipout, like you know, Like I'm
trying to think of an example,but you gotta watch it like low key.

(29:32):
When you look at it, you'relike, dang, like Phoebe,
like that was that was harsh?You know. No, I'm gonna have
to look back and you have no. I love her. She's one of
my favorite characters. But when youlook at it, she's so sweet to
Joey. She's also really real,but sometimes it's like she like, out
of all of them, she mightbe. I feel like she talks shit,
but like it's a ship that theyneed to hear sometimes. Yeah,

(29:56):
I've never heard her say an thingwhere I'm like, oh, that was
so and Phoebe shouldn't sure I couldfind a TikTok on now send it to
you, Okay, okay, Well, because I have my theory is that
Ross is the most trash one outof all that. Oh he's yeah,
he's a little He literally hooked upwith one of his students. It was
barely legal. Crazy uh like debatedand almost dated one of Rachel's friends.

(30:18):
Like if my boyfriend ex boyfriend everdated my sister to even think about it
is crazy. Like he respected herwhen she finally said no, but like
the fact that he even thought aboutdoing it. Yeah, trash. He
uh shit it on Phoebe when likeshe thought that the cat was her dead
mom. He's such an asshole,like damn bru let her think who's acount
her dead mom? I would agree. I have to say Ross and Okay,

(30:44):
maybe they weren't on her break butyou didn't even wait twenty four hours?
Yeah, like yeah, let mecount the ways this man is crazy,
great character, like he has thisfunny moment, but as a friend
and as our person, I thinkhe's the most trash one. I would
say so too, Yeah, wouldn'tsa Phoebe is what I would say.
That's kind of I'd have to thinkabout it, I think about I would

(31:04):
have to, but I don't.I would like to hear one. Yeah,
I disagree. I'll be back onSex and City. Samantha best one,
Charlotte Prune but second best. Andthere's Miranda, who I guess is
cool, but like she's only kindof interesting when her boyfriend's around, like
her small storyline. I'm like,oh, at the beginning, I liked

(31:25):
her, but then I was like, huh, I just want her to
get with Steve. So And thereason why I'm refusing to watch the movies
is because, like I already restof spoilers, like they have Samantha and
her boothing breakup and they're like socute together. I'm not ready to see
that. Just stupid, and thewriters have my girl fucked up? Will
mad spoilers, but they give hercancer at the end. Samantha, there's

(31:45):
actually a famous there's a famous giftof like a girl taking her wig off
and like pointing, have you seenthat? Gu No, I always see
it on Twitter, like it's actuallyfrom Sex and the City. I was
like the Leonardo TV, not herwing, like if it's gonna be like

(32:07):
the first one that pops up,let me see, I'm gonna write,
No, it's literally the second one. It's the slow motion point. Wait,
Chris, I want to say,I want to see. I don't
know if I could turn this around? Could that's all funny? So yeah,

(32:31):
the iconic show. Maybe I'll continue. I don't know. I feel
like avoid now that it's over.You know what I have watched though,
not The City, but I watchedCarrie Bradshaw's like her origin story. It
was like this girl what is itcalled? It was Austin Butler was in
it. It's like a documentary orsomething. No, it was like a

(32:52):
I guess you would say a spinoff, but it was Carrie Bradshaw as
like a teen trying to make itin New York. Like it's like it's
her beginning. It was an oldshow. It was only on for like
a couple of seasons and then theycanceled it. Let me look it up
and see what it's called. Yeah, I guess that shit is iconic though,
like it was called The Carry DiariesThe Carried, starring Sophia Robb and

(33:21):
Austin Butler. I literally love thatshow. I haven't seen Sake in the
City, but origin, yes,it was so good. I love the
c W, of course, Ilove like the c W. Shit,
I love the CW. Maybe it'sone of those things where you have to
watch that first so that if you'vealready seen Sex in the City, it
doesn't like yeah, yeah, yeah, I feel like I don't know,

(33:45):
I don't know real sex and theCity fans signed off in the comments,
but have you seen this? Haveyou seen The Carry Diaries on? The
looks crazy? But yeah, soit was. The Carry's love interest was
Sebastian, who was Austin Butler.I loved that's so funny. It was
on from twenty thirteen twenty fourteen.So another thing about Samantha, she always

(34:07):
kept her a bad one, likeshe sucks the cutest guys. Really,
she's that bitch. She's she isthat, and she's rich, like she's
the richest friend. We love thoughtshe's like a publicist or like a pr
agent or some shit. Good friendalways gets with with hot guys rich let
me count the ways. Yeah,like okay, that unapologetic about it.
That's what's up period all around.She's so great respect. But we did

(34:30):
just watch the Joker trailer. Yes, and I'm not gonna lie that little
and shot was hard. The dshot the cinematography on it, who was
directed, I don't know, putsome lipstick as a smiley face and bro
like smiles right into the lipstick.So no, that was hard. I'm
not gonna lie. I am weirdbecause it's supposed to musical, right,

(34:51):
I didn't know that. I knowthey've been We were talking earlier like how
off the off the record, howa lot of these like movies are hiding
that there musicals because people probably hatemusicals and they think no one's gonna go
like exactly the color purple. Ilike, I found out like way later
that that was so. I didn'tknow that that was one. I remember

(35:12):
we had like how to do promofor mean Girls, and they were like
saying, don't call it a musical. But I'm like, isn't the title
literally like mean Girls the musical?Yeah, but it wasn't. It's not.
I think it's just mean Girls.And then remember when they first dropped
the trailer, everyone's mad because they'relike, there's the music. Yeah,
because I feel like that one wasmore known that it was going to be
musical, so they like super trickedeveryone. Yeah, but it's like half
the their targeted audience knows it's amusical, right, and like now people

(35:37):
will almost shit on it more becauseit's like ill, so it is just
a remake. Like I feel likethat's what almost made it more popular,
Like that was done for them tohide it either, because why would you?
And then the Wonka No Wonka isthe one that I did. I
was shook it. Yeah, I'mlike, yeah they are, like I

(35:58):
did. I feel like I sawa tweet but for I'm gonna have to
double check. Don't quote me,but I did. I remember I saw
like someone reported. I think itwas like deadline or something that they're like,
not only not only is it amusical, but they're like covering like
known songs. Oh yeah, Iwonder if that ruins it a little bit
I feel like maybe yeah, becauseI'd rather see like original songs. I

(36:21):
don't want Joker being like and afterall, especially because like if you've seen
the first one, like that movieis very like it's intense. Yeah you
either loved it, Yeah, yeah, I love it, and lady I
go on this one, Like ifit was that same type of vibe,
I think it would be a reallygreat movie. She'd be a perfect Harley

(36:43):
Quinn. Yeah, she's a greatactress. Chemistry there and just the trailer
alone is like there yeah. Yeah, So I'll probably still see it because
I love and the first one wasso good to me, so I down
to go watch it. Definitely gonnabe watching and being seated for Beatle Juice,
Beatle Jeese. Yeah, same,same, I'm excited. I loved
Beetle Juice as a kid. LovedJenna Ortiga and what was the show she

(37:07):
was Wednesday Wednesday? Loved her inthat I'm not strange things you Yeah,
and she's so cool and then alllike most of the original cast is going
to be in it again. I'mgonna writer so hard. Yeah, I'm
excited watching the trailer and I watchedit like a hundred times even my mom,

(37:27):
Like it's like she's like, oh, we're seeing that. Yeah,
can I come restie? Yeah alot, her best friend I can coming
along days. It's kind of kindof a topic. But there's a Beatle
Juice restaurant in La I've been theretwice. It's pretty sick everything. Yeah,
it's pretty sick. I've been theretwice. Definitely check it out.

(37:49):
It's like a whole like like performancedining experience. So that's pretty cool.
That's hard. Yeah, no,I will be seated. Yeah, general
take. I feel like she's slowlybecoming like the princess. She's so good,
Like she's the only one that coulddo remakes, and like I'll be
interested, especially it's like classic scaryones, like she killed it with Wednesday.
She is a killer with this.Yeah, just her whole persona is

(38:09):
so like, yeah, she justradiates dark spirits, you know, and
she says she loves doing that,so you could tell she loves it because
she's really good. She was ina movie that came out called Miller's Girl.
It's not like a dark like scaryvibe or goth or anything, but

(38:30):
she also had like a dark aurato her character and she also played that
well it's so good. Yeah.Yeah, I'm excited for Beetle Juice.
I don't know if I'm excited forJoker, but I will be seated.
I'll give it a chance. I'mgonna give a chance. I'll givebout the
beast attentions. Yeah, yeah,yeah, yeah, yeah, no expectations.
Yeah, but what you guys shouldbe excited for is anyone but you

(38:50):
streaming in like late April. Yeah, I think watch it. I feel
like I read the twelfth. Weshould really be like stuff. We're just
like for sure, No, it'sit is definitely coming, uh in April.
Yeah. I don't know why Ihave the twelve, but I think
it's late April. In the twenties, let's see, that was the movie
you said it was like one ofyour favorite movies of all time, but
one of my favorite wrongs of alltime. I don't know if I say

(39:14):
top three or top five. Yousaid like April twenty third, April twenty
third, Okay, yeah, yo, everyone want making his debut and we
will confirm if it's one of thebest wrong coms. You don't, I
love me a wrong com. SoI'm excited for that, and I think
I'm gonna go see Challengers. Iasked for someone from our sales team that
she could get me like tickets tothe premiere. Okay, Yeah, and

(39:37):
I heard the reviews and everyone says, it's like it's a really hot movie.
I want to see it. Alot of three somes going on with
you. She did say she wantsto stray away from like that those young
characters and stuff like that. Recently. I'm excited for what because she wants
to grow up or something like that, and I like that. And sidebar,
you know she's been doing like thepress tour and stuff. The block

(40:00):
mon is it. She's so smart. She's like, I dyed my hair
because I wanted I didn't want todistract it from what was the movie before.
She was just fromuddy Dune to Yeah. That's like that's some genius right
there. And her looks the Tennislet's, but the blonde hair really doesn't
her. I'm here for blonde andday. I feel like she should keep

(40:21):
it. It's such a look.Yeah, that's what we're looking forward to.
Let us know what you're watching onTV on Instagram. We are at
Underscore f t R pod. Isaid, bit if you wanted to go
to tailors. Just tell her brotheryou want to go to Taylor. You
said that? Oh hell yeah,man, I laid it out right,
I said, I said, Isaid, I said, bite bait.

(40:47):
Wow. So much has happened,yo. I feel like it's been a
hiatus, like a good month.Huh, consider that's a new season.
I always wanted to release this likein season. But the only reason why
I don't is because, like whenI uploaded, it tells you, like,
what episode? Yeah, like Iwant to celebrate when we get to

(41:07):
episode one hundred, I feel likeit's a new season. It's right.
You got to start for episode andone yeah you know, yeah yeah,
yeah it's weird, right, andthen a little graphic that we put out,
So, I mean, I guessthe episodes. Dude, keep going,
but this is kind of a newseason, you know. That's that's
why we took the little break.It's okay, but we just keep going.
We had to let stuff we comeback, you know, I mean
technically shows don't. I don't know. The real reason was because March shows

(41:31):
my birthday month. So we hadto take a he off. That kicked
it off. I had to takea there's a lot going on, y'all.
My boss got a promotion, yesalready, he's going to New York,
which honestly, like if you knowour boss, like everyone in the
company always calls him like the smartest, the best, and that's what companies

(41:52):
should do, Like your best shouldbe at the best, like you should
be at the number one market.It's totally you know, deserved. I'm
so proud and happy for him.But yeah, I got the news.
I'm not gonna lie. I wascrying my little eyes out. And you
know a lot of people in radio, like times have changed with everything,
like just people being in office andlike people like even talent, like they

(42:15):
have to track a million shows likethat used to be like unheard of,
like everyone's live, doesn't matter whatmarket you're in. So like, so
much has changed. But one thingthat like was big when I got here
was like a lot of people havejumped a lot of stations, you know,
like I kind of got a lotof shit because this was my first
station and like it's number four inthe market. Like usually don't get to
be in your home market, solike I really had to prove myself that
I deserve to be here. Becausepeople don't know what you did before.

(42:35):
You know, everyone has their ownstory. Right while people are moving markets,
you know, they're having a lotof different bosses. So why this
was so hard on me? It'slike marketing, guys, is my my
first and only boss that I've everhad, Like i owe this guy my
whole career, Like he's the onethat took a chance on me, Like
I've only learned from him. Likehe got the most fucking trash air check
for me when I talked even fasterthat I'm talking now and wasn't making any

(43:00):
sense and heard fucking heard something inme and let me be on this fucking
crazy station that I grew up listeningto. And this has always been there
when I ever hit a wall,and just like always been there for good
advice. So like, I tookit so hard, you guys, I
was so sad, But now Igot all my tears out and I'm just
happy for him, and I'm excitedfor the future. And you know,
now I got me a good alittle connection to New York and I'm sorry

(43:22):
he's just one call away. Sothat's one big thing that happened to me.
Also, today is my fifth weekor like the middle of my fifth
week in the gym, one monthmark's gone of meal prepping. We love
that you can see your progress.Yeah, well you so like I heard

gave only child vibes. Do Ireally I didn't do that. I didn't
know that, Okay, yeah,no, Well what do think you have

(45:57):
a brother or sister? Though?I don't know why I thought you did,
or maybe I just didn't think aboutit, but I thought you did.
Like, yeah, I've gotten alot. Like when I tell people
I'm an only child, they're like, you're an only child. I think
that as a compliment though, Yeah, okay, because I'm glad that I
don't all spoiled to you or selfishor whatever else they say about them to
that, because yeah, you wouldbe spoiled. Yeah, But what I

(46:19):
was going to say was because ofthat, and I'm sure you can relate
then that unfortunately, like you haveto do everything, you know what I
mean, Like like right now thatmy parents aren't here, I'm like making
sure taking care of their stuff ontop of my own things too because they're
not here, you know, justthings like that you're not love that,
you don't love that. I amglad I'm able to help, but it
can be a lot. Unless you'rethe oldest, you're still doing everything right,

(46:42):
Okay, Yeah, well that makessense. My family was gone for
a month in January, and Iloved being alone. I loved handling our
pet. I loved like, yeahwhatever, like paying their bills that they
had. Yeah. Month, Iwas like, you know what, this
is so fine. I think it'syou're happy to help, and I like
help, and I'm glad that I'mable to like, it'd be nice if
I have some assistance. Sometimes I'mlike, dang, I have to go

(47:06):
home a lot. It was nota culture shop, but like a shock
and I did live. I livedalone when I was in LA for like
what six seven years, so Ionly had to worry about myself for those
that times. So but again I'mglad I'm helping. But it was really
busy in that way. Yeah,yeah, no, I feel it.
I do have a small update onCarpenter by you guys. Wait, where

(47:30):
did we last leave off? Idon't even know. I don't know.
I don't even think I put thatepisode out. But it's okay because completely
date now. Okay, Oh,it's been a roller coaster. It's been
a little bit of roller coaster,not as dramatic, but I will say
things were going good. There wasa little something in the road where I
felt like he would just being likea little too nonchalant, Like some things

(47:51):
came up and it was just likeour communication wasn't good and we probably like
went the longest of out seeing eachother too. I mean, nothing crazy.
I think it was just like aweek or something. But usually like
he has lands like in the middleof the week, which is totally fine,
like we're just dating, so likedon't even be seeing each other every
day and every weekend. But itwas just the way he was going about
other things that was like rubbing methe wrong way. But we ended up

(48:12):
seeing each other like that following weekend, and I kind of confronted him about
it. I was just like,you maybe better. I just kind of
like nudged him to be a bettercommunicator, like in a playful way,
and he was like, like,I think there was an instance where he
kind of made plans. I don'teven remember what happened, but I remember
I changed my plants because off hisword, you know. I was like,
oh, I'm not going to goto the gym because he's plan of
thing out and then it just likenever fell through and it and but like

(48:36):
he does it in a he's justnot direct, and I'm such a direct
person. Like he's very like,well, text me stuff that like kind
of says that's not going to happen, but like just won't say it.
And I'm like, at first,that's okay, but not when I'm like
actually canceling plans because I think you'redoing this and you're like beating around the
bush like this just like annoys mea little bit, even more so I
kind of told him. I waslike, it's not a big deal.

(48:57):
Like and honestly, that was likea night that I'm kind of glad we
didn't hang out because I had alot of stuff to had to wake up
early in the morning. But atthe same time, like you know,
I kind of changed my plans,like it's like, you just gotta communicate
with me. And he was like, oh my god, I'm so sorry,
and like agreed, and like thatweekend, honestly, guys, I
was like and I thought I wasgetting serious, but we spent the entire
weekend together. The entire Yeah,that was a little different, like all

(49:21):
day a like went out that night, turned out at the bar. I
posted his first of all his hand. It was like a boo was like,
harl you hays like a figunail andthe man's hand. I can't I

(49:43):
can't knowing about you dating this person. I'm like, is this him?
Like who is it? Is?So so turned up. Spent the night.
The next day we literally got brunchedtogether, like went out to a
restaurant, went on a date,and the night yes, and gut food.
You're just gonna brush over that.Yeah, I am bout And then

(50:08):
he he do he wants to takeone car because he actually lives like closer
to that restaurant we we're going to. So I was like, oh,
do you want to take two carsbecause you want to drive all the way
back. He's like, no,let's take one car. Drops me off
and is like he made an excuselike, oh, I have to use
the restroom, but like didn't goto the restroom. We end up hanging
out. So he had invited hisfriends over to watch the soccer game,
which was like gonna start around eightor something, right, I think it

(50:28):
was Mexico gets USA, and soplied him leavesuit and like he literally cancels
his plans. We watched the gameat my house. We order pizza,
he orders beer and pizza, andwe like how the whole night just watching
soccer And then my ass I madehim watch it last week because he never
watched. But not him cutting onhis friends to hang out with you right

(50:49):
now, this is a really goodweekend. Good spend the night again.
We had like coffee in the morningand then went on with our lives.
So when I tell you the entireweek, the entire I was kind of
like, oh not because it wasgetting serious. But I was like,
well that was different, Yeah,like you enjoyed it. It was nice.
Yeah, you guys. I gotthe biggest egg from him. What.

(51:13):
I don't want to lead up towhat led to this conversation because I
don't want to like out anyone oranything, but he just gave me the
egg. I don't know how wegot to this point. He and we
both were drinking, so I willsay that don't blame anything on the alcohol.
That's bullshit. And I okay beforeI like make all the excuses.
Basically I was trying to hook up. He kind of said that. You

(51:35):
know, he did tell one ofhis friends that he hung out with the
girl the past weekend. That's why, because they were like, what the
fuck? What happened to? Soccerand I were over and they made a
joke like, oh, hook meup with like some of her friends or
something, and I had mentioned someonethat we both know and he was like,
no, no, that's not histype. So I will say I
was pressing in pretty car. Iwas like, what's wrong with this person?
Like tell me, like what whatwhat? He kept saying that it

(51:58):
was like N's type that I keptpressing them, and he said, she
does it. She's not that prettyand she doesn't have a nice body.
She's not pretty and doesn't have anice body to the floor. And I
was just like in the moment,like obviously we're drinking. I still sucking
up with him later, but thenext day I was like, I just

(52:22):
had the egg so bad because one, okay, you could fucking lie,
I get I was pressing him thatwhat I will say, you know,
like whatever came out of him.I would never talk about his friends like
that if they were the ugliest,fattest people ever. I don't never feel
like your friends are ugly. Also, you would have had a no chanting

(52:43):
tato period. No, yeah,crazy crazy you to like talk about friends
and it just makes me not wantto bring any of my friends around.
No for real, Like it's it'scool to be honest, right, but
you could easily be like, oh, my friend's on attracted to your friend.
Exactly, that's not his friend.And I swear, yeah, that's

(53:06):
kind of type of girls. Yeah, exactly. He could have said it,
because did he say it on hisfriend's behalf or like on his behalf,
on his friend's behalf. But hewasn't like he literally verbat of you
guys. He was like that prettyshoesn't have a nice body. So I
kind of like, like on boththis is why I don't think he would
like her. No, somebody saidthat, someone said that about my friends.

(53:30):
It's over what the heck, Rockberryis so much to me. If
you're gonna speak like that on myfriends, I can't be with you like
I have in the moment because Iwas even vetting to Angela about it,
who might have been the wrong personbecause angelaue was just hyping me up because
I was like, I'm about toghost him, like I was so turned
off by it, for real.It's just more like a sign of character,

(53:52):
Like it's just like that. It'sjust like not a nice thing to
say at all. It doesn't matter. And I also feel like when you're
dating someone like everyone knows. Iwas like the golden rules, like to
get to a girl like you getto her friends, vice versa. Like
everyone, you usually want to winthe friends and the family over. So
for you to say that, itwas almost like disrespect to me, Like
yeah, you should be sucking allmy friend's asset seriously, like she could

(54:14):
be the ugliest person in the worldlike that really, so it was kind
of like you need to calm thefuck down, and like, also,
who the fuck are you guys likeme? And there's ways to say it
and my friends are hot, likeand it just couldn't be less true,
Like I'm not just saying like someI'm this, you know, because it's
my friend, Like she is hullapretty yeah, and like yeah, okay,
she's not like super skinny, butshe's not like a big girl either,

(54:35):
you know. Like I just Iwas so turned off. It doesn't
matter though I shouldn't even defending herin that way, Like it just was
not cool to say so, likehonestly, that whole that whole first week.
It's been like two weeks now,but like I really was, like
I'm fucking coasting him. I don'twant to talk to him, Like I
just really needed a moment to think. And I talked to Angela after,
who, like I said, shewas like, yeah, never talked to
him again, and I'll text himback, I will say. And I

(54:58):
talked to him another friend about this. It's not even that, but like
I just personally am not the ghostingtype. Like I think it good and
I want to be that bad bitch, but like the other the day,
I'm an a doll, like meand this person have literally has sex with
each other, like they have hungout with each other. It's not like
this guy just men. We've beenkind of talking, like me and him
have spent time together. So Ithink it does need to be a conversation,
maybe in person, where I sayI don't like the way you spoke
with my friends and to never dothat again. It's definitely I nearly said

(55:21):
that out of like first fit ofrage, Like if I heard that,
I'm like, I'm talking to thismotherfucker ever fucking again, do not talk
to him. That's fucking rude,like swinging up on my friends like that.
Hell nah bye. But you know, I also am not the ghosting
type, so like, yes,you sat on it, I've sat on
it. I agree. I guessit is my question like, is this

(55:44):
worth like cutting someone completely off forfor me? Yes, yeah, I
would say yes, because first ofall, you're disrespecting my friends you've never
met, like we're dating. Iwould hope that we will get to a
point where I will bring you aboundmy friends and family. But you are
speaking person. Oh yeah friend right, Well, I don't know. I

(56:06):
don't know how if they're friends.Uh. Oh, I didn't know that
I know of her kind of thing. Yeah, I might edit this outh
the podcast. I don't know,because I don't. I don't want this
person know it's about her. ButI will say, did I take you
us when he got like points?Oh, I did not tell you this?
Okay, fuck I really had thisor not you guys, but in
that moment when I said, wehad a little stand where I thought he

(56:28):
was being a little not too nonchalant, something that like got him points back
and producer Chris, I don't knowif you even heard this, but last
time we talked to producer Chris,he's buying the camera. We were just
talking about how he's been nonchally andthe guys agreed that like he was like
being kind of whack. So whatgave him some points back is basically I
uninvited him somewhere because he was beingwhacked. I didn't like his response to
it. But the ball of mycourt, he was hell hitting me up

(56:51):
that week to hang out and Ikind of was like, oh, like,
me and my friend are gonna behere tonight if you want to pull
up. But me and my friendend up blacking out. You guys,
she's she was going through a breakup. We like drank a lot. We
went to five he spots. Iremember seeing him at the bar when he
told me he was there, andI don't remember the rest of the night.
But this man drove from Redwick Cityto Oakland to meet up with us,
dropped me and my drunk gast friendoff to my apartment. I woke

(57:12):
up to text saying like where youat come help me? Your friends in
my back seat. Like he literallywas like over an hour and like literally
laid her down on my couch andwent back to his house. So like
took care of my drunk gust friend. So he got some points for that
and drove and like literally took careof us. And I text him next
morning like, oh my god,I'm so sorry I drank too much.
Thank you for taking care of myfriend and for your taking us home.

(57:34):
And then that's when things started progressing, getting better from what I told you
at the beginning. So this friendhe's talking about is that friend that got
blocked out, Oh yeah, firstof all, but still on it like
he saw her also blacked out viathe drunk bitch. I don't know,

(57:54):
but I think that's so Rude's rude. I don't okay, I'm gonna go
back all wi And I said,I don't know if it's like I'll cut
him off completely forever, like he'sa piece of shit like you like scum
of the earth, Like it's thebottom of my shoe. But it's just
like I'll think about that all thetime. Yeah, like is he thinking

(58:15):
about that? I will per selike every day, but like is he
thinking about that about my other friendsor like my family or like what have
you? Like that's just not anice thing to say, even though that's
what you think, Like you don'tneed it right, you could have said
it differently. Yeah, it's howyou say it. Yeah, that was

(58:35):
just like like it didn't happen tome, and every time, like if
I think about it or like ifyou ever bring it up again, I've
been dodging it. I don't knowif I'm overthinking it, but like it
really did. It's one of thoselike are you not the person I thought
you were? Like are you actuallysecretly a douchebag? And like I know
that he was like in a fratbefore, Like I just got like major
like your frat boy. Yeah,And I've been dodging him and like even

(58:58):
like this past week he like tryingto out with me like five times,
not five times, but he didto me. I was like, are
you free for dinner tonight? AndI didn't text him back till like ten
hours later. I was like,oh, sorry, I thought I responded
to this like I'm not. Ihave plans. I literally just had plans.
And then he was like, oh, it's all good, like how
about this Saturday? And then Iand I was like, oh, I
might go to satur Rose and Ivisit my family and he's like, well,
if you don't let me know,like I'll treat you to brunch.

(59:21):
And then I I think he textedme again and I said, I said,
you know what, I'm actually Ithink I'm coming down with like a
cold, so I'm just going tostay home. And he's like, oh
man, it's going around. Well, you know, if we're still filling
down tomorrow, like I'm down tobring you some soup, let me know.
I know, I literally just lovedit, like never hit him about
the soup, Like I just lovedit and was like uh huh yeah,

(59:45):
like I really because I know Ineed to talk about it when I see
him. Yeah, I think I'mkind of avoiding that, like I'm just
like, oh, I'm I alreadyfor her to get serious or like no,
but that's it. Yeah, Andyou guys, like if you think
it's like progress seeing and like yousee it going other places, it's just
I mean, it's conversation something tobring up, to be honest, because

(01:00:07):
even even if it wasn't seriousself,like, I don't want to be fucking
dating anyone that's like exactly, Hey, I don't like the comments you made,
and it's it's like kind of ared flag to me that you're this
kind of person. So I seeto know if you are, you know,
but I need to forget how tosay that because I can't be that
direct probably and it's literally leaving abad taste in your mouth for weeks.
It's been a lot, it's beena while, and you still are like
ill, like bad vibes, likegross duck ki. Yeah, so definitely

(01:00:32):
say, yeah, you got tofigure that part out. But yeah,
because one of my friends have askedme. She's like, well, do
you not like him anymore? I'mlike, I don't know, I just
know I don't like him right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's
definitely a flag raised, right.I'm like, oh, yeah, something
to know for sure, because ew, that's gross. Like I'm thinking about
it again, and I'm like,I said that about my girls, about

(01:00:57):
whoever, my family, my cousins, whoever. Thinking about it too,
because you don't well you don't saythat to the they're friends, you know,
like, and I get and Iam trying to remind myself of the
context. Sorry to catch your friend, but I think I do keep going
back to that too, like ohthat's all I could get, is that,
like you call my friend fat andugley? Basically yeah, that's what

(01:01:19):
he basically said. Yeah, butI do not that it makes it better.
But I'm like, I am tryingto pend in context, like we're
talking about taking off with his friend, and I was pressing him about like
literally saying like why isn't she histime? Why did she his tight?
You know? But the pressure butthe pressure shouldn't like yeah, exactly that
I give her like something and likeif you if you're pushing me that much,
even to the point where I'm gettingannoyed of you asking, I still

(01:01:40):
don't have to respond like that exactly. Yeah, no, I know.
And it makes my stomach turn justthinking about it, and like me,
this isren even that close, butit does make me like fuck that,
Like like every time she posts,I like because I'm like she's so pretty,
like fuck that guy for talk andI'm like what yeah, And even

(01:02:02):
given like the past context of howthey first met, like still like that
was a bad first me for themtoo, but still like and I never
had a deal with someone like notgetting along with my friends or not saying
they don't get along, but likethat's crazy. Yeah. I feel like
I see this like in TV showsor something in it where like the husband

(01:02:22):
is saying or the boyfriend or theguy dating is like saying something bad about
your friends. I would hate that. I couldn't. I would live with
something inside me sitcoms and it's funny, but like being in it, it's
like that's not funny. Yeah,it's yeah, things Martin said about I
don't like, I'm like, wow, fall was gena. Actually when I

(01:02:44):
break up with Martin the way hewas gonna but they had a relationship like
they would clown each other, youknow, exactly. But yeah, that
was I don't know, I don'tknow if it's like a deal breaker,
I'm I'm obviously it wasn't even itwas what he wasn't joking about it is

(01:03:05):
what you're saying. Yeah, likeit was at no and like and I
get like that's definitely rather like yousaid, like you're talking about like a
hookup and things like that. Butthere's just ways to say it, like
especially because it's your friend, andespecially because if I like you, why
would I say it like that?You know, yeah, and exactly,
it's just like more to like isthis the person you are? You know?

(01:03:27):
Because like yeah, but like inthe beginning, it's all good,
everyone's nice and like this a gentleman, and it's like, yeah, actually,
what if he is just like thisdiuchback frat boy. You know,
That's kind of what I'm like,Well, it was a race flag.
There's a race flag. You're startingto see his colors maybe, like you're
starting to get to well, that'swhat dating is anyways, Like you you

(01:03:51):
know someone and then like things goalong and then you see you start seeing
who they are, like right,so this is you're seeing him unfold me
be like you just you don't knowif you ever not want to like a
guy, get to know him.Yeah, no, no, that's so
true. Yeah, so I honestly, guys don't know where I stand still.

(01:04:13):
Like I've been joking him, wedidn't hang out all this week,
I like reade every excuse of thebook. I've really was coming down with
a little cold. I don't know, but but I don't know. See,
it's still leaving a bad taste inyour mouth. It is weeks from
when it happened, So it's somethingworth talking about with him, I think,
because I'm just trying to think whatis the best thing he could say

(01:04:34):
to me of me saying that,like obviously an apology, yeah, but
it would have to be like Iwas druking. I can't believe I said
that, And I just don't thinkhe's going to say that because you don't
know, like, yeah, Imean maybe if there's an explanation or some
type of like there's not been anexplanation an apology, but I'm just thinking

(01:04:56):
I don't think he's gonna respond inthe best way. They don't, like,
there's only one way you could perfectlyrespond to this, and that's apologizing
out the ass and being like you'reright, but it is it genuine then,
like like can you apologize for sayingwhat you feel? Like? I
don't know, no, I wouldtake a genuine apology, like even if
whatever, like that's how he talksto his boys, like you know what,
I'm sorry, like I was drinkinglike that that would it just gets

(01:05:19):
to me like that was foult.That wasn't cool to say about your friends,
like like, oh, my friendstalkshi about people, you know,
like guys that we don't like,Like I've talked about this person literally to
you guys like you know, Likebut what I dare say that to like
your friend or someone so like itjust it's it's the context and who you're
talking to, and like he shouldjust be like, you know what,
that wasn't cool, but I saidperiod, like it shouldn't have been said.

(01:05:42):
It shouldn't have the way he couldgo about it, and I wouldn't
depressed him if he's genuine, Likethat's all I want is just like apology,
like is in the locker room ornot? One of my boys and
like exactly, so you think thathe will not respond in that way,
is what you're saying. I'm justa little scared he's not going to or
it's too scared too, Like Ijust I like, guys are just so
dumb. I can't walk you throughthis. You know, Well you'll just

(01:06:04):
have to. Uh maybe I'll justnever see him again, you guys,
maybe he's taking the hit. Likewe has a text me. He's probably
like this bitch just man, Well, if you like him that much,
I feel like you should say something. We'll see next episode. Let me
know what you guys think, thoughyou cant hit me up on the talk
back Mike too. If you everhad someone talk bad about your friend that
you were hooking up with or dating, how did you deal with that?

(01:06:28):
Or the time someone just gave youthe dick and you're like, what should
I immediately regret ever spending time withthat person? Not that I'm like fully
regrett again, but I'm just like, oh, I mean soon better sooner
than later? Right? Oh?Yeah, for sure, I think you
could cherish it the past time.It was at that point, yeah,
because you didn't know, like youdidn't know any better. Like you didn't

(01:06:50):
know he was like this or regretfulat all. Right, you know this
has been fun. I just don'twant to end. Like I'm like,
damn, well, you know,like if you are this person, don't
I don't know. I'm just Iguess I'm still figuring out how much this
is bothering me and how I wantto go about it. I'm kind of
in the middle of it, allof it, you know, start really
dating this guy, Angelina, I'mnot gonna be around him. He's gonna
talk to you about He's gonna belike, you know, your friend edually

(01:07:12):
she's so fat and ugly no whatever, we like. I guess that's how
my sem my scene it too likeand I still feel that way, like,
but I'm not bringing about any ofmy friends. But it wasn't in
the context of like I'm looking atyour friends this way, and this is
what I think about that, youknow, you are, like I want
your friend he's like my friends sayingwhat was up? And I'm like,
oh about this person. He's likeno, no, but still it's you

(01:07:36):
know, I'm not defending it,but I will say in context of like,
oh, look at all you know, like I don't know because like,
okay, you're only gonna bring mearound your hot friends. I'm not
like but all my friend And I'mnot just saying that, like literally they
are right. So I'm just likeannoyed, and it's like, who are
you? Like what I'm gonna needyou guys look in a mirror. Yeah,

(01:07:59):
like if anything, I am outof your leak. So, like
Angelie said, I don't know this, but he said you he's balding,
So yes, crazy, he literallyis what is he like need something?
Crazy? Yeah? My age youngerby a couple of months. Well shallow,

(01:08:21):
but like if you want to takeit there, bro right, because
he did take it there, LikeI know you ain't talking and I saw
a picture his friend's friend was cute, but his friend was no chanting Tatum
either, So both of them needto relax. We'll see how I handle
this. Don't come for the friend. We don't know what the hell friends,
I don't care what you even talkingfor him? Maybe under alcohol she

(01:08:45):
might, but now we're out herecoming for the friend's neck. We don't
know what he has to say.Maybe he thinks that, but he would
have said it in a better waythan what carpenter basis or maybe that's his
future wife, and you ever hearexactly like who knows dommy idiot? He
ruined it because he said he basicallysaid she was fat and ugly. So
okay, you thought you're gonna kickup with the friends, you don't.

(01:09:09):
It was just like some dumb boyshit to say. You know what I
mean, like no filter, Iforgot where I'm at, ship about anybody,
to be honest. Tumbleweeds rolling upthere is the moment he had pee
brain? But are they? Isthere always tumbleweeds rolling in there? That's
what That's what you're gonna come tofind out. Yeah, like do you
have a brain? If you sodesire, and I'm just scared to find
out that he doesn't have one.It's all a brain, yes, and

(01:09:33):
if he doesn't have one, youknow what? On to the next.
Yeah, So that's what I'm dealingwith. But I'm next. On Today
in the Bay we got my girlCarriina April Latina creating her own recording studio,
creating this incredible safe space for creativesin the Bay Area and be on.
So that is next. This isfor the record with Angelina. This

(01:09:57):
is today in the Bay. What'syour host engine? Now? Two day
in the Bay. We have theincredible Carina with us today. I was
like, go ahead, good,how are you doing good? I mean,

(01:10:19):
you got so many titles. Iknow you're engineer artists? Are you
a producer? No songwriter? I'mnot gonna do yeah, yeah, sorry,
You're like, that's not what I'mnot gonna get into. But let's
kick it off. Because you area founder of a Studio X. You've
created this like amazing space for artistsin the Bay Area and beyond. So
tell me everything Studio X is about. So Studio X started off as a

(01:10:42):
recording studio and just over time we'vekind of pivoted into like a creative hub
and an artist development center. Sowe don't just press three and let you
go with the master. We're gonnawe're gonna help and shape and mold artists.
So we have an artist development programwe go over to and things from
the basics like vocal performance to musicbusiness, to branding, marketing, et

(01:11:06):
cetera. So these like stuff thatyou guys offer outside like or because someone
just coming and book, like astudio as well, so they can just
come in and book as a studio, but we offer like, yeah,
we offer programs and workshops like throughoutthe year. And how long have you
guys been open for We are aboutto celebrate our third anniversary, open since
May twenty twenty one. That's crazy, and you just okay, tell us

(01:11:29):
where the studio was at first thestudios in East Oakland's in Jingletown. Okay,
Yeah, we're in the same buildingas a Green Day it used to
be Wow, that's huge. Andthen you just opened another location we did.
We opened a location in downtown LA. That's crazy. And what made
you like want to start this?I mean, I was an engineer.
I started out. I started outas an artist, and then I started

(01:11:50):
recording and the first studio that Iworked at shutdown during COVID, and then
I worked at another studio like kindof like in the middle of COVID,
and then it got to a pointwhere I was just like I had too
many ideas and I was just like, I think I've done this long enough
to be able to facilitate, youknow, my own my own company,

(01:12:10):
Like I know I could do this, and I wasn't that was the goal,
but I wasn't necessarily trying to andI just kind of stumbled that stumbled
on that space by accident. Iwas just looking on Craigslist, being nosy
like we all do. Yeah,I got mentioned saved in my Zilla like
oh these cabinets three million dollar home. I would never jump exactly, but

(01:12:30):
no. I was just scrolling Craigslistone day, which is not a place
where you would think to get alike you know, we'll sketchy, but
no, I ended up Yeah,and I walked through and I was just
like I felt it, like Iwas like, this is my space,
like I feel it, you know, and it's a lot of space.
It's like two story. And Ididn't have any investors. I was by

(01:12:50):
myself. You know, I didn'thave a team. It wasn't even called
Studio X yet. It was justI just needed a studio to work out
of. And it's like I'm gonnafigure it out. I figured it out.
I took a leap, and youknow, sometimes that's dangerous, but
sometimes it's necessary. And it wasvery uncomfortable, and I didn't have any

(01:13:11):
real business experience on how to runa business. So you know, these
past three years, I've been learningin real time. My team has witnessing
me learn these lessons in real time. But it's worked out and we're expanding
and we just opened another location,so it's been cool. Do you think
being an artist first like helps youmore with your vision on what you want
in a studio and like what youwant for other artists on one hundred percent?

(01:13:33):
Because I think sometimes you know,you can get in the mindset of
I'm going to open a studio andI'm just gonna make passive income. It's
gonna run itself, which is ideal, Right, that's cool, but like
what else can you offer? Right? Like, there's all your competition does
the same thing, and you know, you might be a studio that doesn't
have the as much equipment as anotherstudio, or like our studio, for

(01:13:56):
example, doesn't have a live room, so that's like, ah, we're
competing with people do have a liveroom. There's all these like audio components
that you know puts you in differentlanes and leads than everybody else. But
it's like what else can you offer? And that's kind of when the artist
side of me is like, well, I wish, you know, when
I went to a recording studio,I wish that we did this or I
wish I had this, or Iwish my studio taught me how to do

(01:14:19):
this, you know, instead ofwithout having to go to school, because
I went to school to learn mostof the music business y stuff, okay,
but to be able to offer itand get your song mixed the master
and shoot a music video, likehave kind of a hub and a one
stop shop and a place to collaborate. That was kind of my goal,

(01:14:40):
right, because anybody could have arecording studio, but it's like who can
have like a center. It's likefor artists by artists exactly. And it's
like, I'm not just trying tomake some money off you or like my
lowest time, I just little sidebusiness, like it's actually failling for you.
Yeah, And it's like, youknow, there's a lot of dialogue
about the state of Bay Area musicand the music business and how we do

(01:15:01):
business and whatever, and a lotof times it's super negative and a lot
of times nobody is doing anything aboutit. We're just sitting here complaining.
And I got tired of that.I said, all right, I'm gonna
let y'all talk. While y'all talk, We're gonna build this thing. And
you know, we're slowly we're educatingartists. We're showing them like, here's
how you do business after you makea song, you know, here's how

(01:15:23):
you work with a producer. Here'sthe agreements you need to have, here's
contracts, and break it down simply. It's not a big daunting thing.
I think a lot of people paperwork. It's not that it doesn't have to
be this big scary thing. Youknow. I need someone to tell them
that and show them that it's notexactly or just a proper like being a
part of a show that's ran properly. Like, you know, here's what
a running show is, right,what's the running show? It's literally just

(01:15:44):
a list of what time and schedulethat everything, just simple things to kind
of just enhance our professionalism. AndI think with doing that it kind of
raises the bars. So then everybodywho works with us is like, oh,
that's the standard, right, becausethe standard that we're used to is
is low, right, low organizationskills low. Well, we're raising it,

(01:16:04):
you know what I'm saying. Andwe're and they go somewhere else I'm
and be like, uh, they'reye. Like when you book at Studio
X, you get a notification,you get an email, you get a
text, you're part of a techlike you know, we just we've developed
this smooth process just to make itmore professional and just feel feel real and

(01:16:25):
like a business. We're running abusiness, but it's also still a place
that people could come and feel freeand create and it's a safe space.
I love that you're just like,let's just do this because like you said
about the narrative of like being ourmusic being in some kind of place and
whoop to woop, Like I've hadconversations with friends too, cause we're like,
it's not really like that, likewhen people keep saying like it's hello,

(01:16:46):
artists working with each other like thewhole you know, Oh we're not.
We're not here for each other.It just like it's literally just you
guys talking. So I like howyou're just like, well, I'm gonna
just be so in the community tothe point where it's not even a conversation,
Like why are we debating this,Like clearly we're here and we're doing
it because it's not accurate, AndI think that we get so fixated on
maybe like the top three big outletsthat we don't it blinds us to what's

(01:17:13):
actually really going on, Like haveyou been outside of the lanes that you're
talking about a lot of people knowthey haven't. So it's like once you
start kind of really getting outside andin the community and going to different showcases
and seeing different types of artists,like we're really dope and a lot of
people do have our stuff together,you know, and so it's just kind

(01:17:34):
of merging communities. I think too, I have you know, when I
first started, I worked at astudio car tuned off Hagenberger, and I
had a lot of like more clientsthat made street music, right, Like
my clients weren't really in the streets, right, And then a lot of
clients that I have at Studio Xare a little bit more artsy and young
and like, you know, cool, like Diby. You know. So

(01:17:59):
we've been doing is like we merged. I merged the people that I've known
forever plus these new clients, andlike we're merging those worlds. So it's
not we're not that different. Weall want to make news, really good
music said. The foundation is thesame, Like even I mean just even
look at rap music, like peoplelike to be like, oh, it's
conscious rap, where it's gangst rappersbackpack. It's like exactly what's the foundation

(01:18:24):
is all the same, you know, So why can't we like collaborate and
work together? You know, whycan't I have this alternative artist be in
the same room with my artists thatyou know, makes like you know what,
like you know, just like whywe can't merge them? And they

(01:18:45):
we do merge them and in ourcamps like we have, we have artists
from all different genres, you know, and we'll have them collaborate, which
is cool because they probably wouldn't havecollaborate or cross paths. And even if
it's not just like, oh,let's merge our two sounds, you're rock
and alternative, Like it's like,oh you nice on the drums, like
I'm a rapper, but can youdo this? You know? Like it
could be anything. So I lovethat you're creating that community. And I

(01:19:10):
know you also have like a bunchof events throughout studio acts. Let's talk
about running back, Running Back,Yes, I hosted our sisensation. Big
Vaughan shout out to the homie becausehe discovered the artists. I forgot her
name three leaves, Yes, isthat what the songs called fire like he
played for me. I was like, this is so dope. You have
to say, I gonna to signthat my music director because it's fire.

(01:19:31):
But absolutely, yeah, so tellus about running back. So running back
is something that we started. Sowhen we first started it was on Twitch
and a shout out and so you'vebeen doing it, Yeah, we've been
doing it like probably within our likefirst year, within our second year,
I think we started it. AndI have a lot of DJ friends,
and when I was an artist,I learned the importance of relationships with DJs

(01:19:56):
right like I when I was makingmusic, it was I was like in
the transition era from like flyers andlike gorilla marketing to like social media.
So I had like a hybrid ofexperience. But I remember being in faces
of DJs was like one of themost important things that you could do because
they outside, like there are somemasses do like your song because I played

(01:20:18):
it outside and for all these people. Yeah, and more times than not,
DJs do want to play your record, like you know, they do
want to break local talent as somecapacity. But there's like I feel like
there's a gap and it really justcould be filled by communicating. That's it,
so you know, I was nostranger to going outside finding what DJs

(01:20:41):
are going to be where, havinga USB with my DJ pack like and
building these relationships over the years.So I was like, how can we
how can we link artists that wework with and DJs that I know?
So we started doing this thing whereit was on a Twitch and we would
have a DJ come in spend foran hour, and then the second hour

(01:21:01):
we would just do music reviews,like what does a DJ think about this
record? Because I could say whatI think about it as an artist as
a but the person that's gonna playit is the most important person, right,
So we started doing these running backstreams. We did one move on back
in the day We've done with alltypes of DJs, shell Heart, Tussy,
and they were fun and people weretuned in and it was on Twitch

(01:21:26):
and it was cool, and Iwas just like, how can we How
can we make this more interactive?And I was like, let's make it
like a music review showcase and soit's kind of the same format, but
now it's in person, so youknow, the DJ will come spend for
like an hour so they can youknow, get their shine on and their
craft, and then we have Roundone where the artists will play their song,

(01:21:50):
and then Round two where the toplike five people from Round one get
to perform their song, and sothey'll get critiqued on different things. And
it's a cool way to build commune. It's a cool way to support your
friends. It's a cool way tosee what the DJ thinks about your record
in a safe space that you know. Sometimes it's not ideal to give your

(01:22:10):
record to a DJ in the middleof their set. They're not going to
play it and give you their feedback, right, It's a horrible way to
do it. It's cool to handthem a USB and say, hey,
later when you get a chance,let me know what you think of your
record. But this is a placewhere that's all they're here to do,
right, So that'll feel like you'rebugging them. It's not left in their
spam fold or somewhere on exactly youknow, like this is this is live
in person. So that's how it'smy vie for both sides. It's like

(01:22:34):
you get to hear live music,little club slash American idol situation and build
community, right and and build theserelationships with these DJs that you might have
been too scary to approach. Youknow, you never know, So it's
now a safe space. You cango up to Big Vaughan you might not
go up to in real life andbe like, yeah, this is all

(01:22:56):
it's constructive and if you know,if you take the feed back seriously,
you can really start crafting some reallydope records if you keep their feedback in
mind, and you don't who you'regonna beet there. Also, the DJ's
are bringing their DJ friends, theirradio friends, you know, other artists
that are there. Like last whenwhen Vaughn was there, Adrian Marcel pulled
up and you know, he wasplaying his record and he he guest judged

(01:23:18):
for us, you know, andthat's somebody who has sold quite a few
records, so you know, you'regetting his feedback as an artist, you're
getting Von's feedback as a legend inradio, you know. And then we
had I had my homegirl, EtBeney. She's like a marketing whiz genius,
and so she was kind of givingher marketing feedback. So you had

(01:23:39):
these three really cool perspectives to reallygauge where you're at. And I think
that's what we do. I lovethat he's like not just in radio like
DJ for like and then you alsohave jam sessions. Yeah, that's another
event outside of running back, butconnected to Studio X as well. Talk

(01:24:00):
about the jam sessions. So thejam session started at the studio too,
and it's just like they got thosegot so big that we couldn't fit all
those people in downstairs. So y'allwere going to the studio. Yeah.
So our studio is like a lotof space, right and you're more than
welcome to pull up whenever you want. But downstairs is like kind of an
open floor plan and we have likecouches and it's more you know, where

(01:24:21):
we do our camps and writing sessionsand stuff like that. Upstairs is our
studio. It's a smaller studio,so it might comfortably fit like ten people
absolute max. That's even pushing iteight. But yeah, so we would
do our jam sessions like downstairs inthe open area and we would just we
just called our musician homies. AndTyler from the studio. She's an amazing

(01:24:45):
sing I think I think you interviewedher back in the day. Oh I
don't know, maybe Tyler Reese Okay, but she's an amazed she's an amazing
vocalist songwriter. She's also an engineerand a vocal producer. But she it
was like a big network of musiciansand stuff. So I said, let's,
uh, let's set up like sometype of jam situation. It's a
build community. And that's how itstarted. And we would do the like

(01:25:08):
bi monthly and they got bigger andbigger and more people wanted to go,
like, hey, can I goto that jam? And I was like
okay. So last year we didour first one with an audience, and
so we kind of make it interactive. So Tyler will host and ask people
like, you know, how areyou feeling? Give us a word or
you know whatever, and you know, people in the audience will give a

(01:25:30):
word and then the band will justjam off that and just feel like,
let's say you want to say likemagical. Yeah, Tyler would just start
humming something about magical and then youknow, drums of kicking and the basso
kicking and the and it'll just beand it's like two or three hours of
just like live improv music. Wehave. We have a really really good

(01:25:50):
time doing those and that we justdid Wet with Kept Choice last week and
so that's another one of our eventsthat we do and it has nothing to
do with the running backs. Sothe running backs are more like DJ artist
relationships. This is now musician artistcommunity. That's so dope healing. It's
like it gets real sometimes it getschurchy, and then it gets real ratchet

(01:26:13):
sometimes you know. Yeah, it'sall about balance, it is. And
so yeah, that's what we do. And that one is more for like
our musician and vocalist community, andI'm sure like people make a bunch of
connections there as well. Absolutely absolutely, like you might if you're an artist
and you're looking to put together aband, like, definitely come to a
jam session because you might find yournext drummer there, or you might find

(01:26:33):
a background singer. This I wantto go. I don't want to contribute,
I'll have no musical abilities, No, I just want to be there.
Yeah, we're absolutely going to inviteyou to the next one. Let's
fire. So far, are youguys at the point where you're like going
to different locations for the jam sessions? Yeah? Okay, So last summer
we were doing them on a rooftopin Oakland. We just didn't want at
ground floor in Oakland which is likea shared like workspace community club thing,

(01:26:58):
but is really really pretty in there. And I feel like, yeah,
with like so many new restaurants andstuff opening up, it's like a good
networking for you too, like let'shost this. Yeah, I think a
lot of I think as we growit and you know, get our marketing
together, I think a lot oflike I want to do one in like
a nursery or with something with reallyplan and you know, like I think

(01:27:19):
we can just keep changing a coffeeshops. Coffee shop, Yeah, just
anywhere anywhere that's a vibe, right, because it's it's definitely like a vibe
experience that's crazy. Yeah, yougot to come to one. It's so
fun. No, I really letme know the next one. I'll definitely
be there. Man. It's justlike so much from the studio that you
got going on with that, andthen you're an artist yourself, I am,

(01:27:42):
Are you still making music? Ihaven't made music in a really long
time, so I'm not going tosay I'm not making music. Like there's
a hundred at least one hundred songsin my in my card yards. And
I was stocking your Instagram and Isaw one pust You're like came out of
retirement. I was like, wordstoo. Yeah, I just dropped the
I dropped the project last like theend of last summer. It was called
Single for the Summer and that hassome cool songs on it. But yeah,

(01:28:06):
I think I like making music.It's just like it's so taxing sometimes
too, just because I'm facilitating somany, so many other things. But
I do know, just for myself, for my mental health, for my
sanity, I do need to balanceit a little better and make records because
I know I still have more thingsto say. But I think just pivoting

(01:28:27):
too, like I'm like a businesslady now, Like I don't know what
to say in the songs because I'mlike, this ain't even accurate. I'm
not even living like that right now, Like I don't it's gonnas. This
is not responsible of me for tosay. Like, so it's kind of
difficult to find that balance and thatduality because it's like I've grown so much

(01:28:49):
New Years, it's all Karina withthe X that was in Karina, and
I just changed my name too,and then I got all business sees.
So I don't know, I don'tknow, but I do still make music
to answer your question, and Ido a lot of like songwriting, gigs
and stuff. I just wrote asong, wrote a couple of songs for
this artist named Dred Dominique based inSan Diego. So yeah, we're still

(01:29:12):
writing. And you were nominated forGrammy. Yeah some light talk about that.
Oh yeah, I'm talking about MySo that happened too long. I
mixed the project for Apprentice Palell andSean William and it was a spoken word
album, so it's pretty cool,and they got nominated and it's a new

(01:29:33):
it's a new category, so Ithink it was second year of the category.
And yeah, we got nominated.And I was like, they told
me that too. They were likewhen I mixed it, they're like,
yeah, we're gonna try to getnominated, and I was like, I
didn't think they couldn't. But Iwas just like, that's a it just
sounds like, yeah, can Ijust mix it first, like we don't
right, you know, no pressure, trying to get some grammar and they

(01:29:55):
were like no, we're simitting instagrammaand I'm like okay, like all right,
and it ended up getting nominated andI was like, yo, okay,
what I'm feeling like like just beingpart being a part of that.
It was crazy because like the Grammys, the Grammys seems like this big mystical
organization and they're really not like ahuge mystery. Like you can be a

(01:30:15):
part of the academy. It's notthat hard if you're a music professional.
And they want more people to bea part of it, any more people.
Yeah, they need more people.And I think I think this coming
year is going to be a reallygood year just for how they're expanding.
And uh, I started. Istarted working with the Grammys when I was
in college. You ever heard ofGrammy You. So Grammy You is a

(01:30:38):
college extension of the Grammys, right, So it's their program that they they
do for college kids and you paylike a really small fee, it's like
one hundred bucks, I don't remember, and you're a part of Grammy You
for your entire entire college career andthen two years or something after you graduate.
So with that, any college,not any college, but any college

(01:30:59):
that they're in, they'll send arep. Usually if you're in like a
music class. So I was inI was taking a music I was having
doing a music degree, So theyhad a Grammy rep Grammy U rep come
in and that's how I learned aboutit and I signed up instantly. Because
you got I would invited to allof the events that they were throwing.
This was pre COVID, so theyhad a lot of stuff going on,

(01:31:21):
so you get to do all thatfor free, and then they would let
you do sound checks. You getto go to certain people's sound checks.
So I went to Janelle Montet soundcheck, I went to how You Saying
the Khalid I went to his soundcheck. They did a songwriting thing.
Melissa Edthridge. I played a songfor her, like for some songwriting.
She was like, I got goosebumps. I said, I know that's right.

(01:31:43):
Yeah, I just got crazy.And then they'll give you if you're
really saucy, they offer a mentorshipand you apply to a mentorship. So
I got paired up with the guywho remember Foster and the Pizzy was really
say Sacy, but he worked onthe The Foster and the People Out,
So he had like this, Idon't remember if it's diamond or platinum,
but it was one of them platuslike Crazy and Hicks Pumped Up Kicks.

(01:32:06):
Yeah, he produced on that album. So he had his accolades, and
they paired me up with him onsome like production stuff and I'm like,
I am not a producer, likeI don't like making beats. I don't
like producing. I don't. Iwas so against it. I was like
my engineer like I don't, orI'm I'm an artist, like I don't
make the beats. He insisted,right, and uh. He had me

(01:32:30):
like on an old school lendrum fromthe eighties and it was like a drum
machine thing, and I ended upproducing a really dope song that I actually
that's the one I played for MelissaEthers. She's like, oh, they
give me a use once. SoI was just like yo, full stuck
a moment. But I say allthat to say, like he's my mentor.
Is the reason like I've had syncplacements and stuff like Grownish and et
cetera, et cetera, because Iworked with him and he showed me kind

(01:32:54):
of how to do it and whoto talk to. So anyways, I
say all that to say the RecordingAcademy is like a lot more accessible than
people think, and they offer alot of resources for professionals. I'm glad
you tried producing, though I knowyou're like I hate it because you're trying
everything, might as well try it. Yeah, no, not for me.
Have you ever tried to make itbe before? No, it is

(01:33:14):
not. I feel like I wouldn'tbe able to do it like I do,
like I'll like set up like littleJingles on my podcast, but like
it'll be like a two second one. I was like that took forever,
ages ages and then I don't knowmusic theory, Like I took music theory
in school, but I had likea really mean teacher, and I just
I was into it. I wasI've passed by the grace. I don't

(01:33:35):
know, Yeah, I passed,though. I think my teacher actually got
fired, like he got like escortedby the police, like mid mid by
the police, yeah, like midsemesters. Then they switched. It was
too much. So all that tosay, I don't know music theory,
so when I even the teacher justmessed it up for you because obvious,
Yeah, he screwed it up forme big time because he just like turned

(01:33:56):
me off. I was just likeI don't like this class, like let
me get to my pro tools class. And he got arrests. It wasn't
just you like, yeah, problemsyeah, I think he got fired and
then they automatically like make somebody walkyou out because like the school sheriffs or
whatever like walked in up. Ohokay, okay, I don't know none
of my business. I do wantto know what he did, right.
He used to smell like he'll doreal bad, So I don't know the
google him after this. Yeah,see where he's at now. He was

(01:34:17):
so mean. But anyways, Idon't like making beasts because I feel like
I can't play what I hear andit takes too long for me to figure
it out. I don't have patience. I'm just like, this isn't for
me. And then by the timeI finished making a beat, I was
like I would never wrap on thistrash. I wish somebody would send this
to me. So I just letyou make it better. That's your job.

(01:34:38):
Yeah, I can get on it. I don't want to do it.
I leave it to the big dogs. These both these people group people
here next to me, both producedso they can have that. So how
did you get into engineering? Likewhat made you like really fall in love
with that? So I was anartist first and then I lived with my
auntie and I just moved in withher, and she was like, I

(01:35:00):
was graduated from high school, andshe said, you could live here for
free, but you need to goto school. And I was like school
and nobody. I didn't really likegrow up with thinking I was ever gonna
go to college or anything. Like. I already knew what I wanted to
do from a really young age.I was like, I'm gonna be a
rap star, like and that's it. I was good at it, and
so I didn't think there was apoint for me to go to school.
But she was like, you needto go do something, and I was

(01:35:21):
like, all right, So Iwent to community college. Then I found
out you get financial aid. Isaid, well sign now, you know,
stay all four years. It's howmuch a lot. I not only
used mine once, and I like, for some reason, couldn't use it
again. I was like, damn, when you're young and never touched a
thousand dollars before that financial you feellike you feel like a billionaire. I

(01:35:44):
was like, waste some life andthen you could get a little two books
and then like the rest was onme and get the used books and get
the e books and then get theyou did the ball favorite. Actually I
was a Ta and my Ta letme use like half her books. She
was like, don't buy that,Like he's mine. You had to joke,
you feel my five kent to whoknows what shoes? Shoes? I
was. I was just I wasblowing it, but like it was it

(01:36:09):
was good to just be able toa little money. No, I had
like every victorious secret, perfree passion. I was doing something. Yes,
every type of blossom. That's allfunny. Made you go to school?
Oh yeah, go to school?Uh. And then I took General ed

(01:36:30):
and I was like I just didn'tknow what I wanted to do, Like
I didn't have a profession other thanwhat I was already doing. And then
they had a music program that itwas called Music Industry Studies. Yeah,
music Industry Studies and it was atDiablo Valley College DVC, and uh,
I just enrolled and I was likeI could do this, and you know,
so I would love to learn protools to be able to like communicate

(01:36:50):
with my engineers that I was workingwith. So I'm like this probably be
like useful or something. Definitely flunkedmy first year of pro Tools percent big
ad. I never went to class, like I was just like but then
I was like, Okay, Craney, you gotta get serious because somebody told
me if you fail, you gotto pay the financial aid back. I

(01:37:11):
think that was a lie. That'sa lie. Well somebody said that scared
me straight. I said, oh, I, you probably can't get it
again, regardless, regardless, Iwas about to mess up that check for
me. So I said no,no, no, no, no,
all right, we're gonna take itseriously time. So then I ended up
taking it again and I got seriousand I actually really liked it. And
then Jeff that owned Tom Studios,the first studio that I used to record

(01:37:34):
at, he was like, Imean you want to like make some extra
money and start taking on clients.And I was like, hm hmm maybe,
and so I just wanted yeah.I was like, I mean I
should probably get like another start gigor something, right. I think I
was working at Home Goods at thetime. I was so yeah, I
started taking I think one of myfirst clients was like his stars, like

(01:37:57):
yeah, like and I started justtaking on and I was so slow.
I worked with fantastic Agrito, likethe album that he got a Grammy on.
I did like a little more solof recording on that album. So
the project I didn't do enough toqualify, but I was like yeah,
so, but I was really slowand just young. But I liked it

(01:38:18):
though, like I felt like Ican do this. And then I was
recording myself and that made me betterbecause I was just like, I know
how I want to be recorded.And then I remember there's a guy named
Ku Carell and he's like a vocalproducer for like Rihanna and Justin Bieber,
like all the big people. Ithink he just worked on Beyonce's album that

(01:38:39):
she just did. He's worked withall the stars, right, and he
was doing I don't remember if thiswas a demonstration with the recording Academy or
with my school, but whatever itwas, he was doing a demonstration at
the old school what's the school inEmeryville that shut down expressions expressions and he
was doing like a demo, recordingdemo, and I've never seen anybody work

(01:38:59):
so fast, and I was like, oh, I want to work like
that, and I was like okay, Like and he just does a bunch
of shortcuts and like when he compsvocals, Like comping vocals is when you
just do several takes of you know, a phrase or something and you put
it together like and make like youknow, some people call the Frankensteining,
Like you're just taking a bunch ofpieces and putting it together. And uh,
I was just like I love Ilove this, Like I just felt

(01:39:23):
something. I was like, Iwant to do that, Like recording is
cool, but I want to dothat. And he was vocal producing at
the same time. So hit itagain, do it like this? No,
no, get this rand. Youknow he wasn't a great singer,
but well no, I think hecan't sing actually, but like he wasn't
like out of this, out ofthe but he was still getting his point
of cross yeah, to where theartists understood and you know, made their

(01:39:43):
sound better. So I started incorporatingthat in my sessions and when I will
work with singers especially, I waslike, like I cannot sing for real,
like like she is not blessed withthat. He knew, he knew
if I could sing, it wouldbe so I can though I have a
good ear. So like I waskind of getting that reputation. And I

(01:40:04):
started kind of just building a reputationand building my clientele and you know,
getting when you're an engineer. Youhave to compete, you know, with
people who have been going to theirengineer for the last five ten years,
and so you just have to offerincentives and different experiences. So I was
going out my way to just makesure that these people I was working with
were getting like super speed and likeI might make a free promo video for

(01:40:27):
them or just like finding different waysto keep them around. And I did,
and I just loved it. Andthen it got to the point where
engineering my regular jobs, like myday jobs, I think it worked out,
like a printing company or something likethat, was getting in the way
of my clients, and I wasmaking more engineering than I was at that
twelve fifteen dollars an hour, soI was like, I'm out this whole

(01:40:48):
time. Yeah, and so yeah, so that's kind of how I pivoted,
And then I was able to fundmy music with engineering, and then
I was able to meet more peopleas an engineer than I was as an
artist, because when you're an artist, it's all about me, right,
everything's me, me, me,me me. When you're an engineer,
it's like people want to talk toyou because you do something for me.

(01:41:09):
Yeah, yeah, and it's likeoh and then like that's how I met
Vaughn initially, Like he hit measking about he wanted to put like a
song together, like a like asong with female rappers, and he was
like he didn't know I made music. He was like, well, what
can who can I put on this? And you know, I was giving
him ideas and stuff, and thenI just shot my shot on the phone.
I said, Hey, while you'rehere, can I send you a

(01:41:30):
song that I'm working on. He'slike, oh, you make music?
And I was like yeah, He'slike yeah, send it. Literally like
within the hour, he played iton the radio like during primetime like traffic
time, and then it was onfor a couple months, like on the
radio like no, and I'm like, no, but it That's how you
know, those relationships kind of it'sgot to happen organically first, but then
you can't be afraid to like putyourself out there too. Yeah, once

(01:41:54):
it's there, and it helps whenyou do other things. Like I tell
artists, like, you know,if you only make music, sometimes that's
tough to get to where you needto go. Because for somebody who like
a DJ or a label rep orwhatever, like you gotta think hundreds of
people are getting at them every year, you know, sometimes every week or

(01:42:15):
month. What can you do forthem to even make them like drop their
shoulders and really have a conversation withyou and really like level And a lot
of times it's you being able tobe multifaceted, faceted and offer something else.
So I tell people go pick upa camera, go learn how to
engineer, or go everything, dosomething, Just figure out something else to
do. That way, you'll neverknow who you meet like that, right,

(01:42:39):
and you never know what you're likeactually like in love with right,
Like you know, you were like, I'm all about my music, and
I was like, wait, Ilove engineering. I never thought I was
ever going to be an engineer.It sounded like nerd stuff to me,
Like I don't want to do I'man entrepreneur. I never thought I was
going to open a student That wasn'tpart of the plan. Yeah it wasn't.
But you know, you never know, just doing everything. So many

(01:43:00):
people understand though, like this studiois not just yeah exactly one, I'm
just making money off you guys,or you know it's dope. You got
all these events going on and you'recreating the space for artists, but like
you have the resume, like youwent to school, you worked with the
academy, you were an artist yourself. So I just want people to understand
when you go to the studio,like you're working with the best listen,
they are getting they are getting experienced. He does this, Yeah, they're

(01:43:20):
getting love. And the engineers thatwe have at the studio, like these
are my people. Like I'm trainingthem, you know what I'm saying,
And I'm trying to put them inpositions and situations so similar things could happen
to them as well. So whenyou come to the studio, even if
you don't work with me, you'regonna work with somebody else who got it,
you know what I'm saying. Likeeverybody is super talented and in their

(01:43:43):
own lane and got something special.So from the whole staff, pole staff
to the equipment fire, so whatit's about everything Studio X. And then
you open the location in La too, So yeah, from people in the
bank, could they use that onetoo, Like yeah, we actually I
don't know when this is gonna air, but we got a mean special going
on right now. Bey to LA. If you're from the Bay and you
want to go work in LA fiftypercent off only because we want to encourage

(01:44:05):
people to get outside their comfort zonesand go make that LA trip. La
trips are very important, I willsay, that's the different type of work
and a different type of network andmarket. So fifty percent off. They
only paying half of what they payus up here if they go to LA.
But yeah, they can book inLA. And Rossie's down there running

(01:44:26):
the LA location, killing it,doing great. Yeah, and it's woman
owned like crazy in Oakland. Likethat's so far, You're amazing. Let's
talk about this lab with FAB thatyou got coming up? Got another event,
So what's going on the lab withFab. One of my longest clients

(01:44:46):
I've had is Missed the Fab.We've been working together seven years maybe something
like that, and our work wehave developed this insane workflow that, like
you, I have to experience tounderstand what I'm saying because nobody believes it.
And then when they come in,they're like, I've never seen anything
like that, Like the amount ofpeople that I think everybody that comes into

(01:45:11):
one of our sessions for the firsttime, like they'll be quiet, they're
just quiet, they're watching, andthen during a break they're like, I
have never seen anything like that inmy life. Like we work speed like
quick like and I could keep upwith each other. Yeah, he could
keep up with me. Because whenwe first started working together, I was
I was subbing in for his regularengineer and uh jeff him. He was

(01:45:31):
like, oh, can you doa session with Fab? And I was
like, this was I don't know, I don't remember. I was probably
like twenty two, twenty three,maybe like I was young, like I
was, I was still fresh,I was still knew. I don't even
know if I had gone to thatKu Correlle thing yet, but maybe I

(01:45:51):
don't know. I was like itwas before New Oakland, after No Heavens.
No, I'm not that. I'mnot that No Shade Fab No,
no, No, this was probablythis was probably After a Son of a
Pimp too. I think this wasa little bit after that, yeah,
because I didn't have anything to dowith that album. I wasn't recording him

(01:46:13):
yet. Yeah, so this isafter that and we just started working together
and he was really He's fast andhis attention span is like, you know,
he has to do something, hehas to keep going, And I
was like, you're not about tooutwork me so that Yeah, it made
me keep up. And then Igot to a point where what's up,
I'm faster, you know, andthen you all like and it was like,
a we just created this chemistry liketo wear down. I don't have

(01:46:38):
to I don't he doesn't have tosay a word, and I know what
he's thinking, just because we've workedtogether for so long so often, like
we work weekly. So basically peoplecan learn that, right, And and
fab is his own like mind andbrain and yes, like, but as
an artist and an engineer, youcan still create that kind of synergy in

(01:46:59):
that that chemistry with your artists.You just have to have the right tools
and you have to like have changeyour mindset a little bit into how can
I make this faster. I usedto work on a ranch when I was
a kid, my grandpa or nancehettoand I'm like my uncle was too,
And I remember like when I wouldgo work there in the summer, a
lot of the task I had todo are mad, tedious, dude like,

(01:47:23):
and I was like, how canI figure out like a faster way
to do this but still get likethe same result, right, And so
I kind of developed that mindset,so I applied that to engineering, right,
how can I do what I needto do? But like quicker to
keep up with him, Like thereare certain things while he's recording or figuring
out a line, I could beediting or cleaning up my workspace and start

(01:47:44):
mixing and suffcapacity. So it's kindof just we're doing that. So that's
what we're doing. He's going overkind of his songwriting techniques and how he
writes super fast, and I'm goingover engineering techniques and how I track vocals
really fast. Knowing it's like aclass. Yeah, it's good to be
a session, but it's like ainteractive Yeah, it's gonna be an interactive
workshop session. So that's what Labwith Fab is. Bro that's so tight.

(01:48:08):
So when is this this is goingdown? So that's on the thirteenth,
very limited like under ten. I'mtalking like under ten people, just
because we want everybody to have likea fairly hands on experience and be able
to answer everybody's questions and stuff.So I don't know when we're gonna do
it again. But if you're anengineer or an artist than want to learn
how to track faster, definitely definitelymake that make that move well. I

(01:48:30):
think you're amazing. Love key agenius. I love what you're doing for
the community. Studio X fire.I need to go to a jam session.
So yeah, you'd invite me tothat, and you need to send
me a wall. Oh absolutely,I'll send that right now. Oh yeah,
you don't know creedom. I getyour song played on the radio station.
Okay, Hey, you're gonna helpyou with everything. Whatever you want

(01:49:55):
our artist development program is gonna kickoff in June. And big Picture,
Yeah, where do you see StudioX in like five years or where do
you want it to like really be? You know, I want one more
location and a very big city noton this coast, a Grammy downstairs and
a and a Grammy case. Youknow what I'm saying. I want that

(01:50:16):
might happen before five years, andjust a bigger location that we're able to
really build out from, you know, the ground up. You know this
location was it fitting the budget andit could make sense, you know where
I was. But I think infive years we're definitely going to be like
a space that's like our space,like that we really built out. Well,
