00:01:24.880He gets right up next to the microphone.
00:01:26.160I hear you can almost hear the eyelashes hit each other.
00:01:29.560You've never seen Italy so quiet as when the Pope gets up to wink on Halloween.

00:01:42.540I'm Lacey Mosley, author, actor, stand-up comedian, creator, and host of Scam Goddess Podcast, the true crime comedy podcast all about robbery, fraud, and those who practice it.
00:01:52.580Each week I bring on an amazing guest.
00:49:40.840It's like, you know, when you when you see one of those movies that about the 60s and you see that everyone was smoking all the time, it's it sounds completely crazy.
00:49:50.280You know, now. Yeah. We're still there. We're still there.
00:49:53.920OK, so question, because to me, that seems a little backwards.
00:49:58.500It's like the rest of the world has caught on that smoking is factually, unequivocally horrible for you and can contribute majorly to lung cancer.
00:50:07.820and yet you know a lot of european countries are still doing it but then in the other regard
00:50:13.020european countries lead the way in so many regard fashion is one of them music is another why is it
00:50:22.240that i feel like culture-based stuff tends to influence the u the u.s a little bit after it
00:50:29.680hit europe that was a loaded question um fashion and health combined no it's it's i don't know
00:50:38.100it seems like backwards no but it's funny but it's a cigarette bro they like it nobody right
00:50:43.860but like you know it's bad for you no but so is mcdonald's and that's all we eat here so it's0.63
00:50:48.700fucked up it's like so is alcohol and that's all you know what i'm saying so it's like they figured0.97
00:50:53.260i don't eat mcdonald's no i know but we all in america it's a we're all fat and obese0.99
00:50:59.960they don't have they don't have a i think there's something about uh you know for us it's like we
00:51:07.080love the cafes you know let's uh you know have a glass of red wine and smoke a cigarette
00:51:14.560this is how i like picture a french person like the glass of wine here sitting like this super
00:51:22.060Tight in the legs and the cigarette0.62
01:15:34.920but then they don't know what to play, you know?
01:15:39.580And sometimes I feel very guilty because, you know, I would use like an orchestra, classical music, you know, and sometimes I want to have like live streams and I take it like a huge, you know, orchestra to play some parts to put together with electronic music.
01:16:04.120and you would have this people that to master this way of playing the violin it it's insane
01:16:12.940like people have no idea the sacrifices it take and they getting a very small salary and no one
01:16:21.620will ever know will will ever know their face they they're not going for fame they're not going
01:16:29.380for money they're not any of this they just want to master one thing and i was really honestly
01:16:36.800feeling guilty about this and i had conversation with some of those people but they would tell me
01:16:41.460but if you put me on the on my violin or a piano and tell me write a song i would never be able to
01:16:50.760do it and it's just a different talent me i'm good at creating that's my best thing it's like
01:16:59.380i'm sure you can edit you know but you know what what you're good at is creating concepts ways of
01:17:08.780communicating you know like thought versus execution it's like those those those violin
01:17:13.560exactly are executors at the high operators at the highest level exactly and to be a creator
01:17:20.700to truly be a creator you have to be a concept or first and a think tank exactly and i think being
01:17:26.780an artist really at the end of the day i'm trying to say this when i when i work with like younger
01:17:32.840producers um and i'm i'm telling like okay it sounds incredible your kick bass is is wow you
01:17:41.840know but you just sound like me or you just sound like sweetest hot mafia or you just so
01:17:47.500if you then you're just a technician yeah you're emulating something to say that have not been
01:17:55.140said do you have a way to see the world that is original that that is what makes you an artist
01:18:03.520it's it that's you're describe describing artistry it's that magic indescribable
01:18:08.580thing that i mean for you what if i had to describe it sounds like you just got the ear
01:18:12.920You've got the ears for culture, taste, curation, which is the, that's it.
01:18:20.440That could be, you know, talent's great, hard work is great,
01:18:23.420but that could be the thing that no one else has that differs you from everyone else.
01:18:28.100In all fields, too, Steve Jobs was very much on that vibe as well.
01:42:15.240I remember when I started to tour, I was telling my manager, you know, we do those meetings about what's the strategy for next year and what type of shows are we doing?
01:42:27.840And I was always like, I don't care as long as you give me Colombia and Brazil.
