00:01:33.680 TikTok viral sensations, the icon, the legends, the one and only Flyanna Boss. Yay! Welcome to the show,

00:01:41.760 ladies. Thank you. We're honored to be here. I'm honored to have you. Wow. Also, for those of you who

00:01:46.540 don't know, this is Bobby and Falayan. Yes. Period. And I nailed that name. You really did. I nailed it.

00:01:53.280 You did. I did ask prior. Yes. Because I wanted to make sure. But you were confident. Yes, thank you.

00:01:57.700 Absolutely. How are you ladies doing? Good. Everything's good? You're feeling good? Yeah. Yeah.

00:02:02.800 Feeling successful, as you should? Yeah, wow. Period. Yeah, very much so. We can't stop saying wow. Wow has

00:02:07.960 been like the title of our entire existence ever since You Wish dropped. Yeah, everything's just like, wow.

00:02:12.760 Serious. Every day is a new wow. Wow. And I know you guys have

00:02:16.480 you said to me prior that you've been together for four years now. How did that come about?

00:02:21.560 We went to music school together. Ooh, love. Where are you guys from? I'm from Detroit. I'm from Dallas.

00:02:26.740 Okay. But we met in Hollywood. Oh, see. Not too far from here. Yeah. Oh, period. Look at us.

00:02:33.340 But yeah, we were just like casual friends. Like we thought each other were cute, like from a distance

00:02:38.440 because we're both like kind of shy and introverted. So we would like hang out in groups.

00:02:43.160 Okay. And then one day Feline was like, we should be in a duo together. Period. I did. I got on one

00:02:50.260 knee. I said, please, Bobby. But I never answered phone calls or text messages or anything. So she was

00:02:55.820 like, bitch, how are we going to be in a duo? Yeah. We kind of need to talk. Yeah. That's exactly what I

00:03:01.460 said. Like she used to leave me on red all the time. And I never really took offense because every time I

00:03:05.920 saw her, it would be like such great, pleasant vibes. Yeah. She's like just my vibes. Yeah.

00:03:10.540 Exactly. I got really good. Do you want to guess? I take risks. That's what I told the lady at the

00:03:15.900 hair store the other day. She guessed it right away. You take risks. Damn. Well, now I'm going to get

00:03:20.000 sunned by the lady at the hair store. Oh, maybe. Are you a fire sign? Yeah. Are you a Leo? No. That's my moon.

00:03:29.720 So you get a little bit of a point. Okay, got a little bit. A baby point. I don't know. I give up.

00:03:33.580 I love that. There's only two other signs to guess. I know. And I forget them. If I'm being

00:03:37.600 honest, I don't remember any other fire signs. Astrology girls don't come for me. It's good

00:03:41.360 that you only remember Leo. Yeah. Because she's a Leo. Because you're a Leo. Okay. Yeah. I did

00:03:47.480 guess fire immediately. You did. You feel the vibes. Okay. I'm an Aries. Period. I love Aries

00:03:52.980 women. Great. Me too. Women. Specifically. Yeah. I agree. The male version of any sign. I'm like

00:03:58.860 trash. Garbage. Horrible. Of any sign. Devil. Satan. Get it away from me. I rebuke.

00:04:03.080 All the negative attributes. Immediately. Immediately. I was like, I don't need to hear

00:04:06.980 anything else. Evil. Evil. I feel that. And you're a Leo and an Aries. And my moon

00:04:11.920 is Aries. Look at that. We're meant to be in. Oh, yeah. You guys are in reverse. What

00:04:17.040 are you guys' rising? I'm a Libra rising. I don't know mine. I need to ask my mom again.

00:04:23.160 I know. I wonder how many moms around the world are like, you were born at this time.

00:04:26.980 Yeah. Because everyone's like, what time was I born? So you can find out your big three.

00:04:29.980 Yeah. Yeah. But I have like a lot of siblings. So I don't know if she actually remembers

00:04:33.920 or. She's just guessing. She's guessing. Yeah. Estimate. No, I'm sure she knows.

00:04:39.820 That's honestly, I think you being a Leo and you being an Aries makes a lot of sense to

00:04:45.400 me. Your guys' videos make a lot of sense to me now. Oh. It's all connecting. Because

00:04:50.340 it's fun. Yeah. And it's crazy. And it's different. That seems to be your vibes. What

00:04:55.040 sign are you? I'm a Virgo. Oh. Period. That's why I'm so fucking mean. Oh. Oh. And fierce.

00:05:01.780 Period. And I'm just so incredibly beautiful. Yeah. You are. That's just a Virgo thing, I

00:05:07.080 guess. Yeah. Most Virgos. Don't get mad at me. Get mad at the stars. Come on. I mean,

00:05:11.400 I haven't seen an ugly Virgo. Literally. Nice. Unless they're a man. And they're all ugly. Just

00:05:16.860 kidding. They're all ugly. Just kidding. They are Satan, though. I have said that on the show

00:05:21.580 and I double down on that. I'm glad you guys came together as a duo. Yeah. So

00:05:26.160 when did you guys really start, like, working together? Like, what was your first kind of

00:05:30.580 process? Did you guys write together first? Did you guys? We wrote, like, four songs over

00:05:34.460 a weekend. Oh. Okay. But before that, we were trying to do, like, dance videos. Like, I

00:05:38.080 kept seeing people on TikTok and I was like, Bobby, me and you can do this. We can do this

00:05:41.840 together. Yeah. So we made this horrid dance video where we choreographed our own dance.

00:05:46.720 It was terrible. Yeah. There was a competition. Was it to your own song? No. No. There was a content.

00:05:51.220 Oh, was it to a different song? It wasn't even to yours? We did post them. I think we

00:05:55.200 deleted it. I'm sure we did. But there was a contest back before the pandemic to, like,

00:05:59.040 be, like, to dance with Lizzo at Coachella. Oh, okay. So we choreographed it to a Lizzo

00:06:03.620 song. Oh, period. And we thought we ate that song. We thought we ate it. We thought we

00:06:07.600 ate it. And then we looked back at it the other day and we were like, oh my God. You're

00:06:11.260 like, okay. Like, what are we doing? We all do things we're not proud of sometimes. Yeah. We

00:06:14.980 were trying. We were trying. It's the artistic process. Exactly. But from that came us making

00:06:19.620 actual music together. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And so, obviously, as I'm sure everyone in

00:06:25.740 the entire universe knows, at this point especially, your guys' big hit was You

00:06:29.900 Wish. Yeah. Right? How exciting. Wow. The whole concept of your video, too, of you guys

00:06:34.080 running. How did that come to be? So, usually before You Wish, we would just, like, meet

00:06:39.640 up with our videographer. Evan Blum. Dr. Clips. Yeah. Dr. Clips. Do a bunch of random

00:06:44.680 videos. Yeah. To your music. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. We would just be trying stuff, like, swing

00:06:48.780 from a tree, do a back bend, a cartwheel. Yeah. Literally anything. So, um, this is

00:06:54.260 one of those days where, like, okay, we're trying to promo You Wish. What are we going

00:06:56.740 to do? I wanted to ride bikes so bad. I was like, this is going to be the video. This

00:07:00.180 is it. I really wanted to ride bikes. Yeah. But we didn't have any bikes. So, we were

00:07:03.620 like, okay, maybe we should just run or whatever. Yeah. We'll do a couple running

00:07:06.680 videos and then we'll go rent some bikes. Yeah. So, that's what we did that day.

00:07:10.160 Yeah. The first one I ever saw of you guys was, I think the one you filmed, I think it

00:07:14.000 was Santa Monica. Yeah. Like, running along the pier kind of thing. Yeah. Yeah. That

00:07:17.580 was the first one I ever saw of y'all. That one went off. Yeah. That one was really

00:07:20.480 good. Yeah. I think that's probably why I saw it. It was all over my for you. After

00:07:23.360 that, everywhere. Wow. Did it just, was it just kind of like, you made, you had the

00:07:27.760 idea, you did it, posted it, and then it just took off? Kinda, yeah. The first runner did, like,

00:07:33.080 really good. And it was to the first verse. Yeah. That was, like, the most views we had

00:07:36.500 ever gotten. Yeah. So, we decided to, like, do some more to the second verse. Yeah. And

00:07:41.660 then the second verse did way better than that. Yeah. So, then we're like, we gotta keep

00:07:45.800 this up. Yeah. And now it's your guys' thing. Yeah. And now everyone, wherever we are,

00:07:50.220 they're like, are you about to run? Or they'll make this joke, they'll be like, can't run

00:07:53.900 through here. Yeah. We don't want to. We didn't want to. And you're like, ha, ha, ha,

00:07:57.760 ha, ha, ha. Literally, I was in the hair store and the guy was like, I don't think you

00:08:00.640 can run through here. And I was like, just give me my wig. You wish I would. Yeah. You wish. You wish I would. Slug.

00:08:06.180 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Are you guys just clocking a million steps everywhere you go? You're just

00:08:10.900 running all the time. Yeah. All the time. We don't really keep track. We should have kept

00:08:13.880 track of all of us. Yeah. We should have. When you wear an Apple Watch, just clock it. Yeah.

00:08:17.620 Honestly. It's so funny. I know a lot of people ask how you film the videos. Mm-hmm. I think

00:08:23.320 I saw someone say, I think someone runs with something facing you and then he's just running

00:08:28.140 as fast as he can and then you follow. People were commenting so many different theories. Theories.

00:08:32.740 Oh, I'm curious how. Yeah. You don't have to share your secrets. No, no. It's all out

00:08:37.500 there. Yeah. So, uh, he has a gimbal attached to a Sony ZVE camera. He's a very, um, agile.

00:08:44.500 Agile. Agile little man. He did lacrosse. Yeah. Uh-huh. He's a pocket-sized man. And he's

00:08:49.500 just running with us. He's running like this. Oh, okay. So he's running forward and looking

00:08:54.160 back. And he's looking at us. Damn. Yeah. He's never hit anyone. Neither of us. You guys are

00:08:59.340 like a million to zero. Yeah. Period. And now I saw you guys as like, it's been kind

00:09:04.540 of snowballing to where you, you collaborate with brands and you run with them or run through

00:09:10.080 them. Yeah. That started with the, the bike idea. We rented these like, um, Metro bikes

00:09:14.580 or whatever and they have DoorDash on them. Yeah. And then Bobby put like, we're not sponsored

00:09:18.760 by DoorDash in the caption. Yeah. Cause I didn't want to block, I'm just lazy with editing.

00:09:22.200 So I didn't want to block out the DoorDash. Yeah. That would be too much. Yeah. So I just put,

00:09:26.100 put in the caption, we are not sponsored by DoorDash. Yeah. And then DoorDash was like,

00:09:31.200 yeah. You want to be? Yeah, basically. And then they had paid for the music video. That

00:09:34.740 was great. Wow. How fun. Wow. And it was like the biggest manifestation line that we didn't

00:09:39.900 even know. Yeah. Cause we wrote a line like, uh, swimming in brand deals, you know, Michael

00:09:43.460 Phelps, whatever. Um, and then after that we got a bunch of brand deals, but we were working

00:09:48.760 regular jobs, had zero brand deals when we wrote that line. Look at you, my manifesting

00:09:54.600 queens. I love to manifest too. And then obviously it led to the remix with Callie, who I love

00:10:01.760 and adore. She's been on the show. Adore her. And Missy Elliott, icon, living legend. Unbelievable.

00:10:08.320 Right? I still can't believe it. How did that come about? She tweeted fun to that Santa

00:10:12.620 Monica runner that we did, um, on Twitter. And we were so excited that she even knew we existed.

00:10:18.060 Yeah. And then on Twitter people, we like posted more or like other people were posting our runners

00:10:23.420 that we were posting on TikTok. And then, um, someone was like, why do they keep doing this?

00:10:28.520 They keep doing the same thing. Like to the same song. Yeah. They're like, can they not think of

00:10:34.040 anything else to do? Blah, blah, blah. And then Missy came on Twitter again and was like, this is

00:10:39.100 how you market yourself as an artist. Like you need to do the same thing or else the audience will get

00:10:42.780 confused. Like really just like let them know. Not her fight for y'all. Like didn't nobody ask her to do

00:10:47.960 that. Nobody. Nobody. She just did it on her own. Um, and then we were like, we need to

00:10:52.500 message her. Yes. We messaged her on Twitter and shot our shot. Yeah. And she said yes.

00:10:56.680 And look at y'all. Yeah. That's crazy. Have you guys met her? Not yet. Not yet. We've spoken

00:11:01.660 on the phone. I think a lot of people are surprised. A lot of times like remixes, um, or like features

00:11:07.040 are filmed separately. Yeah. Like you're not together when it happens. But Callie too. Yeah.

00:11:12.520 Yeah. That was separate. We met Callie after the remix. We met her briefly too. Really?

00:11:17.740 Yeah. In passing. Yeah. Beautiful.

00:11:26.460 You know what's funny too is after your original video that I saw like went super viral, I saw

00:11:30.540 it go super viral on Twitter too. And I saw, you know, obviously people are awful, but I

00:11:35.760 saw someone retweet it and they were like, I love that the rap girls are having fun again.

00:11:39.300 Like they're having fun. Yes. That was the tweet that she replied to. Yeah. They're having

00:11:43.440 fun. We are. And they're like celebrating life. Yeah. Like being silly. Yeah. We're silly

00:11:49.520 girls. Silly girls. Yeah. We love that about us. Who know how to market yourselves. Period.

00:11:53.460 I fucking love that about you. Why would you stop doing something that's working so well?

00:11:56.460 We were getting like millions of views. Tell the whole world to stop watching. Yeah.

00:12:00.120 We'll stop doing it. Period. You're telling me. I call men ugly every single day and it

00:12:04.300 works every time. It's working. Why would you stop? I'm going to make fun of a hairline

00:12:07.440 until the cows come home because it pays the bills. I'm going to give them what they

00:12:12.360 want to see. It's entertaining. I love every time when those videos come up, I have to

00:12:16.200 watch. Yeah. Clocked in. Yeah. That's literally how I am with your guys's videos. And it's

00:12:20.960 so funny. I think the day you guys messaged me on TikTok, I think I was at VidCon or something.

00:12:26.180 I forget. But my agent, Alex, she's here. I showed her. I was like, have you seen these

00:12:30.660 girls? Like their music is so fun because I was listening to your song on Spotify and she was

00:12:35.400 like, no, I've never heard of it. So she listens to it. She goes, that song is so good.

00:12:40.580 She told me like the next time she saw me, she's like, I've been listening to it all the

00:12:43.480 time. I was like, it's good. And the remix is so fun too. Wow. And you guys went on tour

00:12:49.980 with Miss Janelle Monae. Wow. How was that? How was tour? I'm so curious how tour is for

00:12:55.620 music artists. I feel like it's exhausting. Yeah. It was good. We had like a little sprinter,

00:12:59.260 not sprinter. It looks like a sprinter, but it's not. But it's not. It's not Mercedes.

00:13:02.460 No. It's just a sprinter. Yeah. It's just a sprinter-ish. I feel that. It looks like

00:13:07.180 a sprinter from afar. Yeah. We had one of those. We rode it around with all of our people.

00:13:17.020 And yeah, we, we, we weren't on the road with four, four, three boys. Yeah. Three boys,

00:13:22.700 men. They, they did all the driving and they all had their own duties on the, as a part of

00:13:28.840 our crew. And all we had to do was wake up, get pretty and then perform. Yeah. Dream.

00:13:33.700 It was a dream. We loved performing and Janelle's amazing. Yeah. Was that your guys' first time

00:13:38.140 going on tour? Yes. Very first. How exciting. Was it nerve wracking at all? Like in the best

00:13:42.980 way. Preparing for it was a little nerve wracking because we had never done it before. Yeah.

00:13:46.280 But then once we got on it, we were like, oh, why do we stress about this? Yeah. I did a tour

00:13:50.780 earlier this year with my sister for my other podcast that I have called 288 Girls. And that was

00:13:55.440 like, it's like a comedy tour. So it's different. I'm sure yours is harder, but like, that's

00:14:00.440 the only thing I've ever done where I was like actually really nervous, like to perform

00:14:04.340 live. Yeah. Cause it's just like, it's live. Like there's a bunch of people that love you

00:14:08.620 and they're all there and you want them to like have a good time, have a good show. Yeah.

00:14:12.160 Did that feeling go away or did you get like, um, the more champagne I drank before I went

00:14:16.120 on stage. Yeah. I was like, I was like, I need to drink before I go on stage. I need

00:14:21.200 to drink. It does help get a little loose. Yeah. Sometimes it's necessary. I was like

00:14:27.580 that, that helps. But I think, yeah, towards the end, it started feeling a lot, a lot less

00:14:32.500 nerve wracking. But every night I was like nervous as hell every single time. It gets

00:14:36.440 me like right before we go on stage. Yeah. Right. Then I'm like, I know it's like the tingles.

00:14:41.200 But it's like an excitement. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's what it is. It's not always nerve.

00:14:45.020 Yeah. Cause I get the little tingle, but I'm like, I'm not nervous. I'm ready to kill it.

00:14:48.080 That's a Leo. That's a Leo talking. I know the very first show we had, I was like super

00:14:57.060 nervous. And right before we walked out, my sister was like, I'm nervous. And I was

00:15:01.300 like, me too. And she goes, you can't be nervous. Cause I'm nervous. And I was like, well

00:15:04.680 girl, we're both nervous. We're both going to be nervous. Sorry. But that's cause normally

00:15:09.960 I don't get very nervous very often. But something about that is just like, Ooh, but it's, I think

00:15:15.140 mostly it's cause you want them to have a good time. Like you want them to enjoy themselves

00:15:18.680 and celebrate and all of that. So was, how was it hearing your guys' music being sung back

00:15:24.440 to you for the first time? It's the best. We love it. Wow. Yeah. We like invited people

00:15:29.280 up on stage to do the You Wish second verse. That was just amazing. Let them wrap it and

00:15:34.520 they go off. It's so good. It's such a great feeling. Cause we like write these songs together

00:15:40.860 and then we're like in Vancouver and people know the words. That's crazy. Insane. When you guys

00:15:47.000 wrote You Wish, like, did you, was that one of the first ones you wrote or was it like a little

00:15:51.160 bit down the line of you guys being together? Oh no. A lot of bit down the line. Recently-ish.

00:15:56.020 Yeah. Really? Yeah. Probably, I don't know. We wrote about a hundred songs maybe before You Wish.

00:16:00.800 Yeah. But not released a hundred. Right. We didn't release. Yeah. A lot of songs don't make it.

00:16:05.200 Yeah. Sorry. Honestly, musical, any sort of musical talent, I'm so jealous. I can't sing

00:16:13.580 for shit. No? Let's hear it. I wish. Can't sing, can't rap. You probably could rap. You

00:16:17.980 have a great voice. Yeah. You have a great voice. Oh my gosh. Thank you so much. I can rap

00:16:21.180 your guys'. I know you have bars. Yeah. I know they're in there. Just seeing how you like

00:16:25.060 clown a bunch of terrible men. Yeah. I know there's something in there. Yeah. I was like, I can

00:16:27.860 be really fucking mean. We love that. That's good. We love that. I know. I'm jealous of

00:16:33.160 you guys'. You guys' musical prowess. I wish I had something like that. Well, I wish

00:16:37.400 I had your confidence. Sorry. No, no. You're totally fine. When you guys were in, you guys

00:16:41.940 went to music school together, right? Yeah. Yeah. When you guys were in music school, were

00:16:45.320 you guys planning on being a specific type of artist? Did you always know you wanted to

00:16:49.520 do rap? Or was it kind of just, you kind of fell into it? I wanted to be like a pop star.

00:16:54.760 I wasn't really rapping like that. Like I was writing, but I didn't really feel confident

00:16:58.360 as a rapper or a singer, actually. That sounds like you just being mean to yourself. Yeah. Yeah.

00:17:05.480 It was a, it was a, it was a growing period. Yeah. What about you, Feline? I was rapping

00:17:09.960 at a very young age because my brothers are musicians and singing. I wanted to be a big

00:17:16.380 superstar. Yeah. And yeah. And now you are. Yeah. Look at both of y'all. Yeah. And I convinced

00:17:22.680 her just like, we can do this. We can do this. Yeah. And when she convinced me, I felt so

00:17:26.360 much more confident. Yeah. Honestly, delusion's part of it. Yeah. Actually. Gotta be a little

00:17:30.860 delusional. A lot of it, actually. Kind of trust it a little bit. Yeah. I'm delusional,

00:17:35.000 but who's going to tell me otherwise? I feel less delusional, us doing it together. Cause

00:17:38.340 I'm like, she's so talented. How can I lose? Yeah. We have each other. Oh, that's sweet.

00:17:43.020 I'm serious. Besties.

00:17:46.640 How has your guys' family reaction been? I feel like that's one of my favorite things to

00:17:51.140 ask people who, especially when they like, um, have this, what feels like overnight success.

00:17:56.580 Yeah. It's not. You guys have been working for a very long time, but it's like, it almost

00:18:00.480 like changes overnight. Yeah. And everyone around you has to adapt to your newfound fame and

00:18:05.300 stuff too. How have your family's been as far as like reacting to the new exposure? I know

00:18:10.540 it's like a whole nother thing. Yeah. They're very supportive. Yeah. That's good. And excited.

00:18:14.380 Yeah. Like they know how hard and long we've been working. Yeah. Um, but I feel like I'm

00:18:19.200 get like a whole array of reactions. Like my dad's like very much like, Oh good. I'm glad

00:18:23.380 you're like finally financially stable. And yeah, my mom's like, can I have some money?

00:18:30.980 Okay. It really be like that sometimes is what it is.

00:18:36.380 Yeah. Wow. Um, my mom's like, you're going on tour. So like, can I have like a little

00:18:43.020 part of your set to like get on stage? She's the cutest. She's like her own little superstar.

00:18:47.380 Yeah. Um, so she's really excited for us. Yeah. Yeah. And I know you said you have a lot

00:18:52.200 of siblings. So many siblings. Um, one of my brothers, he like produces for us too.

00:18:57.380 So he's in it with us. He's like, I want to move to LA. Yeah. Come down there. I'm like,

00:19:01.200 come on. Love. How exciting. In house. In house team. I love that. Even too, like when

00:19:07.780 you get that big that quickly, it's nice to have people around you that are very like,

00:19:13.960 they keep you real grounded. Yeah. Real humble. Yeah. My family keeps me aggressively humble.

00:19:18.800 Nice. Like when I first blew up on TikTok. Aggressively. Yeah. Yeah. They make sure I'm firmly

00:19:24.360 planted on the ground. Um, when I first blew up on TikTok, I was very like normal still.

00:19:30.020 Like I lived a very normal life before TikTok happened. And I remember my grandpa was talking

00:19:35.400 to me and he was like, so your mom tells me you're doing like something on TikTok. And

00:19:39.520 I'm like, yeah, you know, just making videos and stuff. He's like, cool, cool. And he was

00:19:44.120 like, I have a TikTok. And I was like, do you? And he's like, yep. Um, I've never watched

00:19:49.520 you though. And I go, okay. Okay. I was like, why is that? If you don't mind me asking. And

00:19:57.080 he was like, nah, I don't need to see all that. What does that mean? I was like, all

00:20:03.220 that? And he goes, yeah. To this day, he still hasn't watched me. No, not one. I love

00:20:08.280 that. But did he ever, like, what do you mean by all that? Does he think you're like

00:20:11.580 naked on there? I have no idea. And I don't intend to keep asking because I feel like he'll

00:20:16.520 just keep hurting my feelings. But I was like, okay, I mean, work. So how's his TikTok career?

00:20:24.060 How's it going? Yeah. How's your TikTok going, granddad? Yeah. That's why I thought he was

00:20:27.840 going to tell me, oh, I don't have a TikTok. No, no, he has one. He just chooses not to

00:20:32.300 watch me. Love that. Right. Even my brother, like my brother was still in high school when

00:20:36.660 I first blew up. And my brother was like, oh, someone asked about, like, he was telling

00:20:42.000 my sister this. He was like, oh, someone asked about Drew. Well, no, she was talking about,

00:20:45.260 someone was talking about TikTok. And I was like, oh, my sister's on TikTok. His classmate

00:20:49.980 was like, oh, what's, um, he's like, yeah, she has a lot of followers, I think. And the

00:20:54.580 girl was like, oh, what's her handle? And he goes, I don't know. And it's my first and

00:20:58.520 last name. And then my sister goes, it's her first and last name. How was I supposed to

00:21:04.340 know that? I was like, fuck me, I guess. I don't know. I don't know why I thought you

00:21:08.220 would know that. Ask my brother. I'm not sure why you would know that. So it's good to

00:21:13.220 have people that keep me home. When it comes to your music, just in general, what are your

00:21:27.220 biggest plans? Like, what's your, like, dream collab? Or like dream musical accomplishment?

00:21:32.940 Ooh. We have a lot. We have really big dreams and aspirations. We want to sell out Madison

00:21:40.860 Square Garden. Ooh, that's a good one. Like twice. Yeah, that's been one of our goals for

00:21:45.100 a really long time. Like multiple nights in a row. Yeah. Love. Yeah. That's fun. We want

00:21:49.360 to direct and star in our own TV show that's about our lives. Yeah. Oh, that's cute. And

00:21:55.980 playing yourself. Yeah. Like Broad City meets Atlanta. Yeah. Semi-afro-surrealism. Yeah.

00:22:01.640 Period. Okay. Um, we want to be on Jimmy Fallon. Yeah. It's on my vision board. Yeah. I love

00:22:10.120 a vision board. Never mind. My phone's in my pocket. I can show you, but I'll show you

00:22:13.060 later. I love a vision board. They're so good. They're so key. Yeah. They help a lot with

00:22:18.280 manifesting. So much has happened on the vision board. Yeah. Period. Mm-hmm. The power.

00:22:22.100 And we like write our goals and like we looked at our goals from 2021. Yeah, 2021. We got

00:22:27.300 them all. Hit it. Hit it. Hit it. Love. Yeah. What was the one we didn't? There was one

00:22:31.140 we didn't have accomplished, but we're working on it. That's okay. It's on there. It's still

00:22:34.740 on there. It's still on there. Which means it's to be accomplished. Yeah. It's happening

00:22:37.500 right now. Period. What about Dream Collab? It changes all the time. Yeah. But I'm really

00:22:43.380 trying to push for this T-Pain Collab. That would be awesome. We would love that. So every

00:22:47.960 interview, that's my answer until it happens. Yeah. Okay, Teddy.

00:22:52.100 That's a great one. He's also on TikTok. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like you could easily

00:22:56.960 get him. We've been trying. Yeah. We did. We shot our shot with him too, but we'll see.

00:23:02.080 It's going to happen. I think so. Yeah. I'll manifest for you. I'll add it to my manifestation

00:23:06.040 as well. Please. It's so funny. You said that I'm going to keep saying T-Pain over and over

00:23:10.540 again. Yeah. Yeah. That's literally me with The Rock. They've been like, what's your dream

00:23:13.480 guest? I'm like, The Rock probably because it's just me and him. Yeah. Brothers. Me and him.

00:23:17.820 And I'm like, at this point, I'm doing PR for him. I'm just talking about how much I like

00:23:22.260 him and I think he's awesome. It's going to happen. Yeah. There you go. See, we'll manifest

00:23:26.080 together. Yeah. I'm going to put that on my video board. Let's join our forces. Yeah.

00:23:30.240 And I'll help you. I'll manifest for you with The Tonight Show too. Okay, please. Because

00:23:34.240 Questlove, his imprint, bought my book. So I've met Quest a few times. Love him down. He's

00:23:39.360 awesome. Let's figure it out. Yeah. Manifest together, y'all. Yes. Everyone in the room,

00:23:44.160 your job is to manifest with us. Jimmy, I love you. Y'all have homework to do. Yeah.

00:23:49.340 Everyone added to the list. Dwayne. Dwayne. You know where you need to be. Sir. Okay. Please.

00:23:55.660 My brada. Dude, one time, speaking of him, I remember I manifested hosting the Black Adam

00:24:01.540 premiere because I was like, I really want to host it when it comes out and I want to wear

00:24:05.600 something cultural. And like, I got to do all of those things. Amazing. But I remember when

00:24:10.160 it happened, I was like super like, oh, like, what am I going to do? Because I was like,

00:24:14.720 it happened so quickly. I feel like you guys know this too. You get opportunity and they're

00:24:18.500 like, yeah, you need to be there in two days. Yeah. Oh, love that. Okay. Biggest opportunity

00:24:23.020 in my life, but I need to hurry. Oh, okay. Yeah. No, I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be

00:24:27.100 there. And I remember even for when I manifested that when I was there, my hair, makeup artist,

00:24:33.600 he's my cousin and he's someone too. And he was like, do you remember when you told me about

00:24:38.540 this earlier this year? And I was like, yes, girl, I manifested it. And he was like, that's

00:24:43.500 scary. I was like, I know the power. Yeah. Brain power. I love that for us. You gotta own

00:24:50.320 it. Yeah. Don't make it scary. Yeah. Own it. You heard her. Okay. So what we're going to

00:24:56.800 talk about today, our topic is how to transform basically music video format through TikTok.

00:25:02.740 So it's like, obviously your guys' viral running video to You Wish launched y'all into like

00:25:08.260 a whole nother stratosphere. Right. And so like being able to essentially market yourself

00:25:13.920 in a way that's palatable is like, I feel like even with every music artist I've had

00:25:19.040 on the show, they've all been like, TikTok has completely changed the music industry.

00:25:23.180 Like the ability to go viral has like incentivized like people, record companies, labels, like all

00:25:31.240 of that A&R. And so I feel like y'all did it without even, you're just like, let's just do

00:25:36.440 it on here and see what happens. Yeah. We were just trying stuff. Yeah. I feel like

00:25:40.340 most music artists too, like the ones that have been here, they've told me and they've

00:25:43.920 been in the game for a while. They're like, yeah, sometimes my reps are like, you gotta

00:25:47.400 put it on TikTok. Yeah. You gotta like manifest it through there. It's like a blessing and

00:25:52.360 a curse. Yeah. Yeah. I think so. Cause it's like, it's just completely, would you guys

00:25:56.340 say it's like shifted the whole music industry? Cause you guys have been in the music industry

00:25:59.520 for a while. Yeah. Like completely like, but TikTok came out like right when we formed

00:26:04.320 the duo kind of. Oh, nice. So we've only known TikTok as a form and a medium to like express

00:26:09.900 our music. Yeah. But I do understand how that could be like tricky for artists who've been

00:26:13.460 doing it. And then I was like, Oh, go post a TikTok. Yeah. I feel like what I like though

00:26:17.860 about that is that you guys have exposure to both like a traditional sense and also the

00:26:24.660 social media. Cause I feel like sometimes, especially artists, um, in any industry, but

00:26:29.560 like if they existed prior in a traditional form, um, it's harder for them to like adapt

00:26:35.300 cause they're kind of like, well, I don't want to have to do that. Like I've already, you

00:26:38.440 know, I want to do it this way. Yeah. But I feel like y'all being able to be exposed to

00:26:42.300 both is doing nothing but helping you. Yeah. We're very balanced. Yeah. Cause I feel like

00:26:47.000 you need social media. You do. You do. What are you doing? How are people going to see you?

00:26:51.920 Right. We were desperate. We were like, we didn't need people to hear our music. We're

00:26:56.000 going to post every single day. We posted every day for two years. Look at you. And

00:26:59.560 it finally paid off. It finally paid off. But there's going to be so many times where

00:27:02.820 you feel stupid or like, why did I post that video? I look ugly. Yeah. It feels like exhausting

00:27:07.280 almost. Whatever. Yeah. It can be a rat race, but we knew it was like our means to like get

00:27:11.960 to the people who need to hear our music. Yeah. And the whole goal was just to get your music

00:27:16.020 out there. Yeah. Like you had no plans on going like super, super, super viral the way you

00:27:20.360 guys did. Like we wanted it, but we didn't know what video would do that. We wanted to

00:27:23.740 be through our music though, for sure. We didn't want it to just be influencers. Yeah. Just

00:27:27.920 like random things. Yeah. Yeah. Cause it, I feel like even on TikTok, it's really easy

00:27:31.560 to go viral randomly. Yeah. Like with like a random silly video or just like, I don't

00:27:36.560 know, random things caught on camera kind of thing. Whereas with you guys, it was for

00:27:40.920 a purpose. You're like, I just want people to hear my music. Yeah. Yeah. Which I think is

00:27:43.940 awesome. Yeah. I think that's a great thing. I think with you too, like we all are just

00:27:47.580 like showing ourselves authentically and that's really cool when people actually resonate

00:27:51.440 with like our authentic selves. Absolutely. And honestly, I feel like that's a big reason

00:27:56.560 why you've been able to sustain it. Yeah. Like y'all multiple videos have gone super, super

00:28:01.180 viral, especially after the fact, cause they can see how authentic it is. Yeah. And they

00:28:05.640 love, obviously they love the music, but it's more so your personalities shine through. Yeah.

00:28:10.760 Even through your music. So many songs go viral on TikTok and nobody knows who the artist is.

00:28:14.580 Exactly. Are not invested. And they're not like recognizable. Really? Yeah. They just

00:28:18.960 know the song. Oh yeah. I've heard of that song. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. So it was great

00:28:22.680 for us. I love that y'all are super open to social media. Yeah. Cause I'm like, I, you

00:28:28.040 know what? You can say whatever you want. I'm thankful to TikTok. Yeah. It's changed so

00:28:32.160 many people's lives. It really has. And they let me make fun of Awful Man. Period. Someone's

00:28:37.980 gotta do it. Sometimes they get mad at me, but it's okay. Wait, does TikTok does? Oh

00:28:42.860 yeah, girl. Like, yeah. Do they like take your videos down? Oh yeah, girl. All the time.

00:28:48.160 They, they, they've deleted my account four times. No way. Oh yeah. Fear. Yeah. They've

00:28:53.040 gotten rid of my account four times. TikTok. I don't know if you remember that. How do

00:28:56.720 you get it back? Um, I remember, well, I don't know how you do it anymore. Thankfully

00:29:00.660 I'm verified now and like, I have a much better like grip on being able to ask for help for

00:29:06.700 shit. But like, I think initially I lost it. I think it was at like 400 K and I was growing

00:29:12.620 really fast. And so they took me down one of my mutuals at the time. He taught me how

00:29:16.940 to get it back. He's like, Oh, you have to email this email and tell them it was wrong.

00:29:21.520 And I posted it and other people were emailing too. And it's like the spamming of it helps move

00:29:26.360 the process along. So I remember I lost it at 400 K. I lost it at 900 K. Um, and I was

00:29:33.900 like almost at a million. That's tragic. Yeah. Then right. The day I hit a million, I lost

00:29:38.360 it that day. And then I lost it one more time. Two days later. Wow. That was a while ago.

00:29:43.880 So yeah, we were out the woods now. Yeah. It's so funny too. Cause when I lost it at a

00:29:47.340 mill, I had just got signed to an agency and my agent who's still agent now, Alex, I was

00:29:52.460 like, please don't regret signing me. Don't take it away. Please don't regret signing

00:29:58.060 me. I'm so sorry. It's like mass people reporting you for new years. Yeah, absolutely. I feel

00:30:02.020 like they, they kind of redid the system a whole lot. So it's not as easy to get reported.

00:30:07.740 Um, that's scary. Imagine reporting someone cause they're funny. That's crazy. Girl, when

00:30:12.120 I tell you I've lost my Instagram twice because of that, I've lost every account at least once.

00:30:16.540 It's just too funny. Yeah. I don't think that's what men think when they're reporting me, but

00:30:21.100 yeah. Yeah. I'll tell people it's cause I'm too funny. Cause I think so many men have been

00:30:26.300 like, they hate me, girl. They're just too offended. Speaking of hate, do you guys get a lot of

00:30:30.540 hate? We get a good amount. Yeah, we get a good amount. But not like too much. It's not

00:30:34.440 like crazy. Yeah. It's like kind of standard amount. Before you wish it was like a lot and

00:30:38.500 then. Yeah, it wasn't as balanced. Yeah. Now it's more balanced. Now it's like overwhelmingly

00:30:42.200 love and then that little. Yeah. Twitter for some reason is just like a hellhole.

00:30:46.300 Twitter is a dumpster fire. Yeah. Literally. There's some threads where they love us, but

00:30:50.820 then some sides of Twitter or X or whatever. It's evil over there. They'd be mean. The

00:30:55.460 craziest things, writing think pieces about how we shouldn't be having as much fun as we're

00:30:59.880 having. It's so, I'm like, I, that's first of all, unemployed behavior, but second of all,

00:31:04.940 it's just like truly like hater shit. Like it's just nothing more than hater shit. They

00:31:10.980 like wake up in the morning and they're like, Oh, what are we going to do today? Let's bother

00:31:15.160 with some cute girls. I'm going to be mean to girls on the internet and they visit me

00:31:18.860 first and then they go and visit you guys. They make two stops and that's one's mine and

00:31:24.660 one's you guys. Even on Twitter. I remember too. Yeah. I've had quite a few hateful things

00:31:30.520 on Twitter. I just feel like also it's because that's the one app where you can say anything

00:31:36.740 like, and nothing gets taken down. And ever since it had the little refresh, I don't give

00:31:41.680 a fuck what it's called. I'm always going to call it Twitter. Okay, good. I'm going to

00:31:44.560 stick with that too. I forgot. I refuse. You know how sometimes you type in your apps

00:31:50.700 because you can't find it? So I type in Twitter all the time and I'm like, it doesn't pop

00:31:54.480 up. I know I'm not calling it that. That's stupid. But even Twitter, I've thought for

00:32:01.900 a long time, Twitter's one of the worst apps, like shockingly. Yeah. I know some people

00:32:05.920 think TikTok is, but I'm like, no way, girl. Yeah. Go borrow on Twitter. It's worse over

00:32:10.320 there. You look in those quote tweets. Terrible. But also how are you quote, like you're, you're

00:32:15.520 advertising our music, but also putting hate with it. Exactly. I'm like, marketing is marketing.

00:32:20.420 Yeah, exactly. I do think it gets you in front of a lot of eyes. It does. And a different

00:32:25.240 population of people are on Twitter as versed to TikTok. Yeah. And there still are people

00:32:29.960 who love you there. Yeah, they're there. I feel like just the hate's on a whole nother

00:32:34.060 world. Wow. Because they can say literally anything. It's a badge of honor though. You

00:32:38.880 have to get through it. You know, to be like us, like successful. Like are you guys on Reddit

00:32:43.920 or anything? Have you guys seen anything on there? No. The only thing I do on Reddit is read

00:32:47.760 them. Am I the asshole? That thread. Love. Have you listened to two hot takes? No. Oh,

00:32:52.740 you should. Our friend Morgan, we love her. Yeah, she does. Am I the asshole all the time?

00:32:58.020 Oh, I love her. That's like her podcast. She's a really, really big podcast, but she reads

00:33:01.560 those a lot. I've been on her show a few times. But yeah, no Reddit. That's where like all

00:33:07.080 happiness and love go to die. Like go to die. The most miserable people in the world are

00:33:13.480 on Reddit. Me either. The only reason. Maybe it would have been viral on Reddit. Maybe

00:33:16.860 we should like post it on Reddit. I bet you have. I guarantee you have. Because your

00:33:20.040 guys is like, your virality spread everywhere. So I'm sure it's on there. Be warned.

00:33:25.800 Yeah, that's what I was going to say. I'm going to be crying tonight. Be warned. Like reading

00:33:28.460 it on Reddit. They hate me on Reddit, if that makes you feel any better. Oh yeah, they hate

00:33:32.540 us. So they have no taste. God. Girl, I'm a number one op on that app. They're like, has anyone

00:33:36.700 talked about how much we fucking hate Drew? Like, they hate me on that app. I do shit. But that's

00:33:42.020 like the men who populate Reddit. Yeah. Hat on a hat. Obviously, you're going to hate

00:33:47.380 me. Obviously, you're going to hate me. I would too, if I haven't seen a woman naked in real

00:33:52.080 life. My bad.

00:34:01.360 Back to our topic. We're going to talk about utilizing something like TikTok to obviously

00:34:06.360 amplify your music and kind of use this new kind of like you guys make almost like mini

00:34:11.180 music videos like on TikTok and it gets people engaged and it makes them want to listen to

00:34:15.060 your music. We're going to kind of talk about that. So for those of you who don't know on

00:34:19.280 the comment section show, what we do here is I bring videos that I was tagged in that are

00:34:22.940 applicable to our topic and then we're going to laugh, kiki, make fun of it, whatever's

00:34:26.620 necessary. So this first video, in this video, a woman has a hand over her mouth with the

00:34:32.440 caption, TikTokers need to stop making music. It's always so bad. Obviously, this is a very

00:34:37.640 common hate comment. Yeah. And she said, like, this is a common hate comment she receives

00:34:42.160 in the background. Her new song is playing and she's promoting it. Do what you got to

00:34:46.820 do, girl. Yeah. Mark it yourself. I love replying to a hate comment on TikTok. It gets way more

00:34:53.220 attention that way. You and me both. Yeah. It's a hack. Hell yeah. People love to defend us.

00:34:59.440 Yeah. They really do. And they ride for you guys. I love that. And also, I feel like just

00:35:04.940 because someone uses TikTok as a vehicle doesn't necessarily make it TikTok music. I don't

00:35:10.600 even really know what you would categorize as TikTok. Yeah. Like, if it's doing well,

00:35:14.560 it's doing well. Yeah. I don't know. People are streaming it, too. I was gonna say, streams

00:35:18.120 are streams, girl. Exactly. Like, listen, I'm not gonna clock where they get it. Yeah. You

00:35:21.400 want to call it a TikTok song? Okay, boo. Yeah. And like, exactly. Like, I don't know,

00:35:24.740 Michael Jackson and Madonna was MTV music. Yeah. Exactly. The H1 music. Yeah. Exactly. Scary.

00:35:30.260 Well, there's just been, even if you, like, were to take TikToker out of it, someone like

00:35:37.740 Doja Cat, like, she blew up on TikTok, like, over the pandemic. Meg Thee Stallion, same thing.

00:35:43.220 Like, they were already famous, obviously. But then their music was amplified or something

00:35:48.080 like TikTok. So, you want to call it TikTok music? Sure. That's a great one of women. Just

00:35:52.860 keep streaming it. Thanks. That's what I said. You know what else is TikTok music? Your collab

00:35:56.860 with Callie and Missy Elliott. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. So, Missy Elliott just got put in the

00:36:00.480 Rock Hall of Fame, girl. Period. So, TikTok music. Right. We'll take it. Yeah. I got you

00:36:06.700 with Missy Elliott. Who cares? Yeah. Okay. So, the comments on this video, this first one

00:36:10.940 says, bro, TikTokers need to stop making music. It's always so bad. Well, again, it's like,

00:36:16.660 I used TikTok. I've been an artist. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we were making music before TikTok

00:36:21.920 existed. Yeah. Believe it or not. Yeah. When we were babies. Also, if you don't like the song,

00:36:26.020 just don't, what makes you want to, like, comment your, like, hate for the song?

00:36:30.180 Um, it's probably being so cold and alone. Yeah. If I were to guess. Yeah. It's an internal

00:36:36.020 struggle. Or if you're a man, it's like being under 5'7". That would make me hate the world.

00:36:41.980 That's rough. Like, no one listened to your mixtape. I'm so sorry. Okay. Listen, I was just

00:36:46.680 about to say, what's the fucking difference between that and being, like, a SoundCloud rapper?

00:36:50.940 Yeah. Literally. What's the difference, girl? And, like, you go on their pages,

00:36:53.940 is, like, the hate comments. A lot of them. They're musicians. A lot of the time, yeah.

00:36:57.720 Zero views, babe. Twelve views. Yeah. Oh, but you're commenting on how we can't rap. Okay,

00:37:03.300 sure. It's just jealousy. Yeah. Well, and by that measure, it's like, well, one of us can

00:37:08.780 rap. Yeah. Like, one of us is doing it for a living and someone else is at home, babe.

00:37:13.680 Maybe you should try running. Yeah. Try it. I got an idea. Just try it out and see. Yeah. Maybe

00:37:19.580 it'll work for your shitty SoundCloud music. This next one says, who gave TikTokers the

00:37:25.540 idea to start a music career? Again. Yeah. Same shit. Yeah. And it's also, like, I mean,

00:37:30.860 if we're talking not about, obviously not about you guys, because you guys were already musicians,

00:37:34.120 but if you're talking, I feel like a lot of times they conflate people like that and the

00:37:37.360 people who were known for something else and then they start making music. Yeah.

00:37:40.520 Yeah. It's very specific to the person. Like, for example, do you guys know Chrissy Schlapeka

00:37:45.840 on TikTok? You might recognize her if you see her. Yeah. Love Chrissy Down. But she got famous

00:37:50.340 for something very specific. It was, like, being, like, she's really funny and she's very smart.

00:37:55.000 But her thing was, like, being a bimbo, but being funny. Oh, I love that. And she was, like,

00:37:58.660 reclaiming the word bimbo. Yeah. Right? So, love her. But she's always wanted to be a musician. Like,

00:38:04.480 that's, like, her thing. Yeah. Yeah. She grew a platform on accident and then was, like,

00:38:08.980 I want to turn this into a music career. Yeah. And now she does music full-time. Nice.

00:38:13.220 But she was, like, oh, like, when she was on my show, she was, like, girl, I'm trying to be a pop

00:38:16.620 star. Like, I want to say she's classically trained. She went to art school. If you have the talent to

00:38:21.240 back it up, it doesn't matter how people knew you before. Exactly. That's why I'm, like, people would

00:38:24.940 be shocked to see how many people actually have always wanted to be musicians. Yeah. But they used a

00:38:29.540 different way to get the following. Yeah. Whatever works for you. Yeah. Women in STEM, honestly. I support

00:38:35.480 women. Women entrepreneurs. That's what I support. Yeah.

00:38:38.260 Yeah. I don't know. We love music. We love making music. Anybody should give it a try, even

00:38:43.500 if they haven't. If you didn't do it. Yeah. Whatever. If it's your dream, it's your dream.

00:38:47.000 And try it. Yeah. Yeah. If you're bad, you'll get better. And if you don't, then you don't.

00:38:53.040 At least you had fun. Exactly. At least you had fun. Yeah. That's why when I told y'all

00:38:58.540 earlier, I don't have any musical talent whatsoever. I'm in no position to, like, ever judge anyone

00:39:04.840 else's musical capabilities as mine are trash. But I remember, I was, like, if I were to

00:39:09.380 ever, like, be like, I think I want to start singing. And I recorded something and it was

00:39:12.920 ass. My family would tell me. They'd be like, that was garbage. Love your confidence. Yeah.

00:39:17.840 Yeah. That was so garbage. Don't ever do that again.

00:39:19.840 Love you. Love you. Do something else. They would literally tell me, like, let's put

00:39:23.920 it down and maybe do something else. Just don't even. Let's stick to being funny,

00:39:26.220 girl. I think we should do a rap song. I really think we should do a rap song. I

00:39:29.600 really feel like there's bars in there. You said something earlier. I was like, that's

00:39:32.740 a bar. We're about to, like, steal the things you say and put them in there.

00:39:35.400 Please do. Yeah. So either you're going to be on the song or we're just taking your whole

00:39:37.980 bit. Okay. Either or. I'm happy with either. Maybe an interlude. I'm shooting my shot

00:39:42.100 now. Maybe you do an interlude. Oh my gosh. I'll shit myself right now. Oh my gosh.

00:39:45.260 I'm getting nervous. My pits are sweating. Getting nervous. That would be an honor.

00:39:51.040 We'll talk after. Our teams connect. I love that. Okay. This last comment on this one

00:39:58.180 says, again, TikTokers need to stop making music. Blah, blah, blah. No hate. It's just

00:40:01.740 not my taste. Kind of bad, to be honest. Keep scrolling. Again. I'm like, well, believe

00:40:06.820 it or not, not everything in the world is catered towards you specifically. Right. It's

00:40:10.880 kind of like, it's kind of the same thing with, um, with my kind of shtick. It's

00:40:14.880 like, I don't think this is funny. Okay. Move along. Congrats. Millions of other people

00:40:19.740 did, but this isn't for you. And I'm like, honestly, when they're like, you're not funny,

00:40:23.960 I'm like, well, you tell me a joke and I'll tell you which one of us is funny. You tell

00:40:28.000 a joke. Let's see who laughs. And then I'll tell a joke about you. It's the same thing

00:40:31.680 with making fun of looks. Like if they're like, well, if you're going to make fun of

00:40:34.580 looks and I could call you ugly, I'm like, by all means, I encourage it. Right. I hope

00:40:38.640 you do call me ugly. Just when you do, uh, attach a picture of yourself so I can comment. Let

00:40:43.420 me jump in. Let me jump in. Who's judging? Yeah. I want to see that face. Yeah. Have

00:40:48.600 you guys ever gone and looked at what your haters look like? Oh yeah. Makes me feel

00:40:51.160 better. Yeah. Oh yeah. Every time it makes me feel better. A lot of times they don't

00:40:54.900 have pictures. Yeah. They like hide behind the Hello Kitty emojis. When they do, I'm like,

00:40:58.640 ooh, it's good. Yeah. Most of the time they're ugly for sure. Yeah. Haters are always ugly.

00:41:03.360 Wow. It makes you ugly. There's like a bunch of people. Rocks you from the inside. Wow. A bunch

00:41:08.060 of people on the runner videos, they're like, that first girl probably can't run. She's so fat.

00:41:11.600 Like she probably, they probably compiled a bunch of videos all together. She's not

00:41:16.040 really running that fast. That's so mean. And then I looked at their profile picture

00:41:19.360 and I'm like, okay, it's all okay in the world actually. Oh, I wouldn't. Yeah. I would

00:41:25.240 be that way. I guess. I would write that too if I look like that. Yeah. I guess if I look

00:41:29.360 like that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Not me. Sorry. No, no. You look like me. No, we're not talking

00:41:34.540 about you. You too busy looking in the mirror. Leo. The fat comment thing is so

00:41:41.580 first of all, tired. Cheat. Yeah. It's such low hanging fruit. Like give me something

00:41:47.200 good. Like give me something colorful. Like I'm bored. Yeah. Tease me. The amount of people

00:41:52.140 that call me fat girl. Oh man. It could, if I had a nickel, I could retire. And I would

00:41:57.160 never have to make fun of a man again. I would be a millionaire. I love how they think that

00:42:02.180 that's just like a really good singer. They're just like, oh, she's fat. That's like, oh, okay.

00:42:07.200 And you're five, six. So now what? Now what? Where does that leave us? Right. Oh, it's

00:42:13.420 also, I think women are so used to being critiqued off their looks. Yeah. Like, and it's especially

00:42:19.760 female artists. Cause I've talked to a lot of the female artists. I have a lot of female

00:42:23.160 rappers on my show too. And we've talked a lot about how like when female artists are

00:42:28.060 being platformed, they have to, they are held to a completely different standard than male

00:42:33.780 artists are. Even if they're in the exact same genre, same age, same everything. When

00:42:38.360 I had Zara Larson on the show, she's like Swedish pop star. Love her. Um, she was telling

00:42:43.200 me, she's like, and this is no T no shade. She was saying like, kind of like Ed Sheeran,

00:42:46.560 like he's a very good example of someone who doesn't really need to do anything when it

00:42:51.180 comes to styling or hair or makeup or whatever. But with women, they have to be like completely

00:42:57.380 like head to toe. Perfect. Like, like not too sexual. Yeah. Not too sexual, but not

00:43:03.960 too prude. Not too this, not too that. It's very exhausting. Have you guys found that to

00:43:08.320 be an issue at all when you guys are now that you guys are obviously becoming full

00:43:12.320 time, you're full time. Yeah. Has it been like, um, kind of a challenge at all? Um, it's

00:43:17.260 just a part of the thing as a woman. It's so annoying, but we always talk about how the

00:43:20.960 boys don't have to do anything. Yeah. They just get up there. They, their mics can sound

00:43:25.320 bad. They can be, um, mumbling their lyrics. Yeah. They don't dance. Ever. They

00:43:30.640 don't. Like their outfits are boring. Even if they have a bad show, like if they can

00:43:36.280 be nervous or whatever. Yeah. They can have normal human emotions and like be taken

00:43:40.200 seriously. Yeah. Yeah. But women have to be perfect. Exactly. From, have you guys, thankfully,

00:43:44.920 it sounds like you guys are surrounded by a really good team. Yeah. So you guys aren't

00:43:47.800 surrounded by anyone who's trying to change your look. No, no, no. No. People online always

00:43:53.380 have something to say. They're always going to. They're like, they're, they're dressing

00:43:56.200 like they're 14. They're trying to be like 14 year olds. Yeah. What if I am? Yeah, exactly.

00:43:59.900 Know what? What do you mean? If we were in thongs, they would be like, why are they over

00:44:03.100 sexualizing themselves? Yeah. They, you can't win. Yeah. It's just like, well, since you're

00:44:06.760 going to hate no matter what, I'm just going to wear whatever I want. Yeah. I'm going to be

00:44:09.340 comfortable. Period. And I said, you, okay, you hated my outfit, but did you stream the

00:44:13.380 song? Right. And did you like it? Oh, you watched the video all the way through. You watched the whole video.

00:44:17.380 Got it. They're like, the last 10 seconds of this video is like, yeah. And that's you. Thank you so

00:44:23.560 much. If you're writing a comment on the video, even if it's mean, you're watching the video

00:44:28.440 like you're getting it all the way through as you're typing. So keep it up. I've gotten hate

00:44:33.760 comments before when they're like, Oh, I hate when this fucking fat bitch is on my for you page. And

00:44:39.240 then I go, well, it's so funny. Cause first of all, for you, for you, for you cultivated just

00:44:44.680 for you. That is algorithmic for you. Um, first of all, second of all, I was like, the fact

00:44:49.620 that you commented, I'm absolutely going to see again. Yeah. I'll see you in a little

00:44:53.040 bit. And I'm going to clock that view. Like you watch two seconds. That's a view. And

00:44:58.860 that's a dollar in my pocket. Yeah. They're like, how are these girls showing up on my

00:45:02.020 page? Why do you keep watching it all the way through and commenting a paragraph? I know

00:45:06.820 they watch the whole thing. They're like, Oh, I hate that. They watch all 30 seconds.

00:45:11.100 I'm going to write how much I hate that. It plays like four or five times. Yeah. I was

00:45:13.860 going to say it's like looping as they're writing their long ass comments. Yeah. Multiple

00:45:18.680 views. We love that. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you. As Callie said

00:45:22.280 in our song, I need more haters. Period. Period. Do me both, man. Okay. And then this last

00:45:30.080 comment says, I don't care if they promote their music on here, but when they do it for

00:45:34.580 every single video they make, it's so annoying. Well, when that's the only job you have, babe.

00:45:39.440 Also, again, it's because you're watching them. You're seeing all of them. Like, stop

00:45:44.580 watching them and you won't see them. Yeah. It's that easy. But there's so many people

00:45:49.040 in the world. Like, why wouldn't you promote your music or whatever you do? Like, every

00:45:53.140 video. You have to post your video, your song so much. Really? So people can see it. No

00:45:58.100 matter what. Whether you're on TikTok or not. Yeah. You've got to do that no matter what.

00:46:01.780 Exactly. That's kind of the whole point. Yeah. You know, that's so funny too, because

00:46:04.880 I think I forget who I was talking to about this, but I was literally saying, like, I

00:46:09.620 have zero shame in promoting my projects. Like, whatever it is I'm working on, I don't

00:46:14.560 give a damn. Period. Yeah. I don't give a damn, bitch. You're going to see this. Yeah.

00:46:17.960 You're going to see it over and over again if I have to. Yeah. You work on something you

00:46:20.900 want people to see it. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. And also, like, that's, it's literally

00:46:25.220 marketing. That's, you know, you wonder why, like, when you see certain things on the TV

00:46:29.380 or you talk about things and then you see it all the time on your phone. Yeah. Yeah.

00:46:33.620 Marketing. Hello. How do you think you buy things? Thank God we don't listen to people

00:46:37.620 on the internet because if it was up to them, we'd post you wish one time and then that's

00:46:41.500 it. And we'd still be selling weed. Yeah. Terrible. That's tea. That's tea, bitch. Legally.

00:46:48.520 Legally. Legally. Have to emphasize. In California. Legally. Yeah. I was just, oh, I love that.

00:46:54.100 I was just talking about the devil's lettuce on my last episode. The devil's lettuce.

00:46:57.160 I was just talking about it. I partake. Love. Love, love, love. I'm an indica girl.

00:47:03.000 Oh. Personally. I feel like that's rare. Yeah. You know what's so cool? I get it. A lot

00:47:07.200 of people have said that to me. Yeah. They're like, really? Yeah. And I'm like, yeah, because

00:47:10.640 I felt like I was going cuckoo bananas on sativa. Yeah. Because you're already too energetic.

00:47:15.200 Yeah. Probably. Yeah. It's so funny. I was, with my last guest, we were literally talking

00:47:20.280 about taking edibles and having horrible experiences. Nightmare. Yeah. I had a really bad one. I'm an edible

00:47:26.440 queen. I love them. They just hurt me. Yeah. Please stop hurting me. You have to take

00:47:30.220 them, like, in doses. Yeah. Yeah. The first time I had an edible, terrible experience of

00:47:34.100 my life. Really? So I was scared of them. What happened? Until I started selling weed.

00:47:37.700 And then. Educated. Yeah. There you go. And then we're dosage. Yeah. And then it's, we're

00:47:43.260 cool now. You learned a lot about it now. I know. I've literally, I've had a few episodes

00:47:48.220 with them where I'm like, uh-oh. With edibles specifically. And then I'm like, gotta take

00:47:53.420 a break from her. Yeah. Love you, queen. I'll be back. I'm scared. And then I had a horrible

00:47:58.880 one in New York, like, three weeks ago. And I was like, I need a long break. See you

00:48:03.220 next year. Yeah. See you next year this time, babe. Thank you. I can't, like, smoke or take

00:48:07.720 edibles when I'm actively going to do something. Yeah. Me either. I need to be, like, home.

00:48:11.660 Yeah. Same. By myself. I need to be laying face down on the ground. Yeah. Like, ready

00:48:15.320 to just pass out. That's my plan. You have a great dream. Absolutely. Exactly. I know

00:48:19.200 sometimes when people say they do that before they work, I'm like, how? I don't know. Bless

00:48:23.180 them. I literally can't. No, they're super human. I'm so not prepared. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:48:28.720 So I was like, uh-oh, uh-oh. Can't do that. Uh-oh, um-oh, um-oh, um-oh, um-oh. I was

00:48:32.380 like, that's literally leisure time. Yeah. That's me time. Yeah. People like to, like, smoke

00:48:37.000 and walk, like, take a walk or take a hike. I'm like, everyone's gonna try to kill

00:48:40.580 me. Like, paranoia. Take a walk? Yeah. Hike? Yeah. I'm tired. I don't want to do that.

00:48:46.000 Who does that? Not high. White people. They do be white. They do. They do be hiking. They

00:48:51.380 love hiking, girl. Like, how are you puffing a blunt while going up a mountain, like, up

00:48:55.820 running? That's crazy. What's going on? What the fuck? I don't want to go up a mountain

00:48:58.920 regardless. Sober or not. I'm not going. I hate hiking. Do you guys like hiking? I hate

00:49:05.060 it. I kind of like it. You like it? You're an outdoorsy girl? From time to time. But I love

00:49:09.760 a long walk in general. You're like, nah. Maybe, like, a simulated walk. I could, like,

00:49:16.460 put it on YouTube. Oh, there you go. Like, a nice through the garden. Yeah. You're like,

00:49:20.560 I got everything I need right here. I'm like, it's cute. Yeah. And if you spoke to, you're

00:49:25.940 outside. Yeah. It feels like you're outside. Dude, I hate hiking. My dad is, like, such a,

00:49:32.780 like, let's go hiking. I'm like, girl, for what? Like, for what? If I want to look at mountains,

00:49:38.380 I'll just look up a picture of them. I don't need to see them. Need to see them up close.

00:49:41.580 It's so funny. Every year, without fail, on Mother's Day, this is not a joke, every year

00:49:46.460 since I was, like, able to formulate thoughts, my dad is like, we should take your mom on

00:49:51.200 a hike. Girl, that's for you. Like, I'm like, it's Mother's Day, not Father's Day. Does

00:49:56.540 your mom like to hike? No. Oh. Like, she's cool with it, but she doesn't love it. Like, it's

00:50:02.860 not her first choice. Wow. And he's just, like, this is what she wants for Mother's Day.

00:50:06.320 I think your mom would love a hike. I'm like, I think the answer is no again for the 17th

00:50:10.420 year in a row. The answer is no. Sounds about right. It's like, I think my mom only likes

00:50:13.300 hiking in Hawaii. Oh, okay. That makes sense. Yeah. Because I lived in Hawaii for a long time

00:50:17.160 and, like, obviously, like, my family's from there and stuff. So when we go there, like,

00:50:20.300 that's a little different. That sounds like a nice hike. But even then, even then, I'm like,

00:50:25.960 I'll meet you at the beach. I'm like, I'm on vacation. Yeah. Why am I doing a pilgrimage?

00:50:31.320 Why would I want to work? Ah, please. Well, I kind of like a hike on a vacation. Do you?

00:50:36.180 Yeah. Oh. Dude, the way I'm like, wait, when you guys go on vacation, are you guys like

00:50:44.380 planners? Are you guys kind of like relaxers? I like to go with planners. Really? Like,

00:50:49.400 who plan it? I don't like to plan. Like itinerary type thing? Yeah, yeah. What about you,

00:50:53.660 I'm like a plan to relax. I'm like, so. Period. There's a cabana. Period. Get drunk at the

00:50:58.720 cabana first. Yep. Then we'll go down the street. There's a nice restaurant. Yep. Go to the

00:51:02.840 restaurant. Then we can, like, see where the day takes us. Maybe more chilling. That's

00:51:09.040 my kind of girl right there. More drinking, more eating. As if I'm, when I, I'm a Virgo,

00:51:13.400 obviously. So, like, by nature, I'm a planner. When I'm on vacation, I'm not planning shit.

00:51:18.180 Yeah. Period. I'm, again, laying face down, but on a beach. Yeah. Like, I'm, I'm, it's so funny

00:51:22.980 because when I went, I think, where did I go last year? Oh, we went to, um, I forget.

00:51:27.280 I forget where the fuck we were. Oh, Disney World. I, that's where we were at the time,

00:51:30.340 but we went last year and we took our, my two, my cousin and his husband and we went

00:51:35.620 and they're planners. Also both Aries. Can you believe that? Both Aries and married men.

00:51:41.040 Crazy. Anyways. So, like, when we were like, I was like, that's shocking to me that that works.

00:51:46.220 Yeah. Um, and when we went on, we were like, my family lazy. Like I want, when I go on vacation,

00:51:52.560 girl, I'm on vacation. Like I am relaxing. And I remember they were like, okay, today we're going

00:51:58.960 to do this, this and this, and we're going to meet here and we're going to do this. And then at this

00:52:02.820 time we're going to do this. And we did it one day. We were there for like five days. We, the first

00:52:07.480 day at the end, my mom was like, we're not doing this. Peace and love. I can't do this. We love you.

00:52:12.400 He was like, oh, we'll meet tomorrow. Right. And she's like, yeah, what time? And he goes six. And

00:52:16.000 she goes, AM. And he goes, yeah, she goes, I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that. She was like,

00:52:22.600 you guys can do that. We'll catch up to you. Like, love you so much. You guys do it. I'll catch up to

00:52:29.260 you. If it were up to me, I wouldn't plan. I would just be there. But I like going with people. Like

00:52:33.720 she does like to plan a little things. Yeah. Like we went to Australia and she was like, let's do this.

00:52:37.880 Let's do that. But not too hectic. Australia was nice. Yeah. But yeah, it wasn't hectic,

00:52:41.840 but it's like, yeah, I would have just stayed in my hotel, but we walked the Harbor Bridge. Oh,

00:52:45.800 nice. Like a nice. Oh, on top. Yeah. That was adventurous. Nice. A nice, like loose plan. Yeah.

00:52:51.760 You're like, I would like to see this today. Yeah. But if I don't make it there, it's totally. I'm

00:52:56.300 not going to die. Yeah. That's okay. If I'm, if I'm laying down the whole day, that's also. I love it.

00:53:01.120 I love that. That I vibe with that. How was Australia? It was so good. We love Sydney. That's all beautiful.

00:53:06.340 Yeah. We only saw Sydney. The pier is so beautiful. Yeah. The water and the little

00:53:11.500 accents. I've never been to Australia. I'm so curious to go though. Yeah. I feel like

00:53:15.540 people have like a weird vibe when we say Australia, like the bugs are going to kill

00:53:19.600 you. Like the animals are weird. Yeah. They're animals. They're wildlife over there. But

00:53:23.580 honestly, by the water, loved it. It was so nice. And yeah, the people were nice. Did

00:53:28.280 you guys see anything scary over there? Like animals? No. Do you guys like animals? Yeah.

00:53:32.220 Yeah. Are you scared of any animals? I mean, I don't want to see a bear up close.

00:53:35.520 So cute. Yeah. Like, okay. A deadly animal. Yeah. But I think they're cute. Yeah. They're

00:53:40.600 so adorable. But yeah. But other than that. None of them scare me. Not a snake. Not a.

00:53:45.140 Really? No. I don't think they scare me necessarily, but I really don't like reptiles or like amphibians

00:53:51.840 of any kind. Oh, they're so cute. But like chameleons or something. Yeah. You know, the ones that

00:53:55.420 are like. Thank you. They're like, they're so cute. No. Thank you. They're so adorable. I'm like,

00:53:59.660 I love you from afar. If you put it near me, I'll scream. Like anything like that. I'm

00:54:05.460 like, mm-mm. You don't even want to be near it. Mm-mm. Like fish? Nothing. You don't

00:54:11.100 like fish? Girl, no. Do you like to eat fish? I eat fish, yeah. Do I like them near me?

00:54:16.240 No. Oh my gosh. I love an aquarium. What about like a dolphin swim? No. A seal? When people

00:54:22.660 are like, I want to swim with the dolphins. That's a you thing. Beluga whale? No. Anything? A whale.

00:54:28.080 Otters are so cute. Otters are very cute. Otters are cute. Otters are adorable. I fuck with

00:54:31.420 an otter. Yeah. I don't eat. Otters are mammals, right? Am I fucking stupid? Oh, I think they're

00:54:35.120 mammals. They're an aquatic mammal. Okay, man. Yeah, okay. Otters are mammals. Don't be mean

00:54:39.060 to me. I didn't know. I'm like, I don't know if an otter lays an egg, bitch. I don't

00:54:42.440 know. They don't look like they lay eggs, but you know. Otters are cute. They are

00:54:46.720 cute. But a fish. Seahorse? Are they fish or are they mammals too? Something about fish. Like, I

00:54:53.880 just don't trust them. When people are like, I'm going to swim with the dolphins.

00:54:57.280 I'm like, for what? But like, trust in what way? Like, they're going to hurt you. Just

00:55:01.760 touch me. Wait. Just anything about them. Dolphins are supposed to be really nice, though.

00:55:06.220 Are dolphins smart? Dolphins are really smart. Are they mammals too? No. I think so. I

00:55:10.960 know whales are mammals. I remember that from school. Yeah. Well, I know that dolphins, but

00:55:17.380 dolphins like, they be humping people. They do, yeah. Oh, but so do dogs. Do you like

00:55:22.820 dogs? Yeah. Do you like dogs? Yeah, I love dogs. I have dogs. Do you like cats? Love.

00:55:27.260 I do love cats. Oh, nice. I'm, I'm someone who's genuinely, like, I love both equally.

00:55:31.580 Okay, me too. Love them both. I'm, I can do dog or a cat. Yeah. No, a bird. You know

00:55:36.900 what I'm saying? He has cute corks about you, like a bird, a fish. Yeah. If you have a

00:55:41.780 pet fish, you have a pet bird, stay away. Exactly. No flying, no swimming. A bird, girl.

00:55:47.780 What about those ones they talk and like rap to you? Fuck no. Oh my God. The way I, birds

00:55:52.980 are my ops, bro. Like, I am so scared of birds. Oh, then you might not like Australia.

00:55:58.120 Yeah. I guarantee it, honestly. Yeah, we were feeding the birds. Yeah. Oh, the seagulls.

00:56:03.420 They're like predatory. Dude, birds are just, I don't know what it is about birds. But you

00:56:08.020 do get a bird. Yeah. Yeah. I sure as hell do. That's as close to a bird as I'm getting.

00:56:15.920 Birds just freak me out. I remember one time when I was like, I think I was in high school

00:56:19.460 or like early college. My, um, my parents' house, we like rented a car. Oh no, I was

00:56:25.420 in high school. And we had pulled up into our driveway and then this fucking bird just

00:56:29.300 landed on top. And it was like, I don't know, birds, girl. But it was like, like a macaw.

00:56:33.880 I don't know, fucking no. The ones with the, they have colorful heads and gray bodies.

00:56:37.580 Oh. It looked like, it wasn't a parrot. I would have freaked the fuck out if it was a parrot.

00:56:42.120 That fuck ass bird, he did not leave. Like, he was just like hanging out. And it was clearly

00:56:46.980 a pet because he was like too pretty to be in the wild or whatever. My brother's like,

00:56:51.640 let's take him. I'm like, ew, why? And he was like, let's take him and rehome him. I'm

00:56:56.720 like, okay. But my brother begged to keep him because he was a baby. And then they, so they

00:57:01.520 bought a cage and like a bunch of food and shit. And my dad had to do it because my mom's

00:57:05.920 afraid of it too. And I'm also afraid of it. I'm like, get it away from me. And so my dad

00:57:09.640 put it in there and he closed it. And then that bird talked so much, girl. Like he was

00:57:16.040 a chatty Kathy. He could not stop talking like words. Yeah. Words or sounds. And he'd

00:57:22.180 be like, hello, hello, hello. Horrifying when I come home and I like come home from school

00:57:27.940 and I'm home alone. I'm here. Hello. I'm like, okay, get this devil bird out of my house.

00:57:33.600 Like I rebuke. And my mom was like, told my grandpa. She was like, cause he, he's like,

00:57:38.820 well, I fuck with a bird. She's like, you should take him. He's like, okay. And he takes

00:57:42.160 him. And then my, my grandpa had to rehome him cause he taught him how to whistle like

00:57:46.040 a little tune. And he said that bird wouldn't shut the fuck up. Like he literally never stopped.

00:57:50.560 Like he never stopped singing that song like over and over and over again. It's okay. He

00:57:55.320 rehomed him. He's with me. I'm sure he went to a very nice family. Yeah. It was just like

00:57:59.100 birds. If you had a bird now, it would just be your laugh. Oh my God. I know. And then

00:58:05.780 I would hear it and I'd be like, yeah, no wonder men hate me. I'm annoying. I'm fucking

00:58:10.280 annoying. Maybe they're onto something. Man, you guys like all animals. I'm jealous. Every

00:58:26.220 time I tell people, they're like, is there any animal you do like? I'm like dogs. Dogs

00:58:30.100 are good. Oh, but most of them you just don't like. Yeah. It's more so wild animals. And

00:58:34.840 maybe that's just me being like, I don't want any problems. Yeah. Like I'm not trying to come

00:58:38.300 into the ocean and I'm not trying to fuck your shit up. Right. You know what I mean?

00:58:41.060 Like this is your home. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just a visitor. Yeah. Wow. I would like home any

00:58:45.300 wild animal if I could. Really? A pig. I really want a pig. I do like pigs. Oh, okay. I'm

00:58:50.160 cool with them. Oh. I'm cool with them. I don't know if I would have it as a pet. I would

00:58:53.460 love like one of those little baby pigs at home. That would be cute. I think they're a

00:58:57.740 scam. Cute. No, they're all of these wild life domesticated. It's a scam, I think. Like

00:59:04.180 there's these little pygmy pigs or whatever. One of my friends got one and it turned out

00:59:08.620 to be a regular pig. It just grew up. It just got big as hell. It just got huge. Holy shit.

00:59:13.260 Yeah. Yeah. Can you imagine? In an apartment like in WeHo. Oh my God. She's like, I need

00:59:18.320 my money back. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think. Someone come get this pig. I think someone told me

00:59:22.440 that too that there's no such thing as a pig that doesn't grow. Like they all get big

00:59:26.800 eventually. Yeah. But they're like online like, yeah, it's only this small. It's a toy pig.

00:59:30.420 Yeah. Teacup pig. It's my teacup pig. Teacup pig. Dude, that's crazy. Can you imagine

00:59:35.380 having a pig in an apartment in fucking Hollywood? You're like, wait a second. That would always

00:59:38.920 be so normal probably for LA standards. Probably. Yeah. Like that would be so. How long have

00:59:42.980 you guys lived in LA? Like 10 years. Yeah. A long time. Mmm. How do you like it? Love

00:59:47.680 it. Yeah. We haven't left. It's okay. It's pretty garbage. It is. It's kind of

00:59:52.980 energy wise. Yeah. It's kind of crap, but it's also great. Opportunity. Great. Opportunity.

00:59:57.160 Also people too. Yeah. We've been like our best friends here. Yeah. I have some really

01:00:00.740 good friends too. Yeah. There's quality people here. I feel like LA gets a bad rap, but there

01:00:04.260 is a lot of shitty parts. So. Yeah. Yeah. Once you like unveil and go through all of the

01:00:08.920 shittiness. Yeah. It's like a little pot of gold. Yeah. That's actually really, really

01:00:13.340 fucking true. Especially if you've been here long enough. You're like, I honestly, I feel

01:00:17.140 like if you live anywhere long enough, you're like, no, some parts kind of suck, but some

01:00:21.120 parts are awesome. Yeah. Yeah. I feel that way about New York. Cause I used to fucking

01:00:24.280 hate New York. Like I used to hate going to New York because it's just not my vibes

01:00:28.840 there. Yeah. I feel like I'm a West coast girl. That's probably cause I was born and

01:00:32.880 raised on the West coast, but I just felt like New York was so like, first of all, everyone's

01:00:36.360 mean. Yeah. Which like you would think I would enjoy that. I don't, um, I don't enjoy unnecessary

01:00:41.400 meanness. I'm only mean for cause. Right. Good purpose. For good. Yes. And I feel like in New

01:00:48.120 York too, um, the, the thought of walking around and smelling shit everywhere. They do have some

01:00:52.880 smells there. Not my vibes. I don't understand. I don't understand how people do it. Yeah. I love

01:00:58.080 New York. I would love to live there. Yeah. But like on the nice part, like I need to be really

01:01:01.440 rich. So once that big account. You do actually like, yeah. It's a certain amount. One of my guests,

01:01:07.040 ER Fivemaster, they said like to live with any dignity is expensive. Yeah. Wow. True. Wow. Especially in New

01:01:13.120 York. Especially in New York. Those closets that they're calling apartments. Yeah. Studio

01:01:17.120 loft. Studio loft. They're like, and it's a steal. $8,000. Wow. Wow. Right next to the

01:01:24.360 subway. Right. Literally. Yeah. Literally. They're like, and also the laundry, there is

01:01:29.340 no laundry. Right. There's only a kitchenette. Yeah. Um, and you do have horrible racist

01:01:33.800 neighbors. No elevator. And it's a shared shower. Yeah. It's a communal shower. Like a dorm.

01:01:39.160 I said, girl, do I live in a dorm? Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no. I only can be broke in LA.

01:01:43.580 Did you guys like, yeah. But never again. But never again. Did you guys, um, you guys

01:01:48.740 went, said you went to art school, right? Yeah. Um, did you guys live on campus or anything

01:01:51.920 like that? Yeah. It was like, not like a real school. So. Did it like a commuter school

01:01:56.020 kind of thing? Um, like a trade school. Yeah. Okay. Like everyone got in. Yeah. They accept

01:02:02.080 anybody. If you get like student loans. Yeah. If you're willing to get in like a lot

01:02:05.520 of debt or if your family has money from Sweden, you can get in. Okay. All right.

01:02:09.880 There was a lot of Swedish immigrants. There were. Immigrants? Really? Swedish

01:02:12.400 students. Yeah. There was a lot of Swedish students. That's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. How

01:02:15.980 random. Yeah. Why Sweden? I don't know. But there was a good amount. They're great

01:02:19.120 songwriters, honestly. They really are. Zara Larson. They know what they're doing over

01:02:23.100 there. They really do. And they come over here and they conquer. But yeah. And they

01:02:27.540 do be doing that, huh? Yeah. She lived in like an apartment that was a part of the

01:02:31.280 school housing? No. No, it wasn't. But everybody that was in your unit lived in the school.

01:02:36.120 It's just because it was, um, it's like on Hollywood Boulevard, you know, Hollywood and

01:02:39.300 Highland. Yeah. Yeah. Um, it's just, uh, it was just, um, apartment complex that was

01:02:44.340 there. Because then there was that other one that was right next to it, but they didn't

01:02:48.560 have any places to live. So we just all lived there pretty much. And it's just like mostly,

01:02:52.780 um, everyone that went to the school just kind of populated the same place. Yeah. And

01:02:56.260 then just a bunch of random people who decide that they want to live on Hollywood

01:02:59.200 Boulevard. Yeah. For what reason? No offense. All crazy people. Yeah. For real. Yeah. Crazy

01:03:05.240 people. I lived in North Hollywood. Like a normal person. Yeah. Yeah. And I took the train

01:03:09.640 to school. Yeah. That's so funny. I was like doing some work stuff, um, the other, uh, I

01:03:15.920 think a few weeks ago and I was on, I think it was UCLA's campus and I hadn't been there

01:03:22.120 in years. Um, but I remember we were kind of walking around like their Greek row kind of

01:03:27.160 thing and I didn't have a Greek row in my college. Like I went to the University of

01:03:30.520 Hawaii. So I didn't have, there was no Greek life at all. So that is a foreign concept to

01:03:35.560 me. Yeah. But I remember when we were walking around it, there was one building where there

01:03:39.620 was like so much music coming out of it. Like, like violins, pianos, um, someone singing

01:03:45.320 loud as fuck. Sounded great. But they were singing super loud. And I remember I talked to two

01:03:49.860 girls, um, they were so sweet and they were like fans of mine, but they were talking to me

01:03:53.940 and they were like, Oh yeah, this is like the arts, like kind of apartment. Like this

01:03:57.220 is where all the arts students live. I was like, Oh, that's fun. Yeah. She's like, yeah.

01:04:01.300 Like, um, she's like, yeah, that's our roommate. The one that's singing really loud. I was like,

01:04:04.880 Oh, okay. And I remember he came down and my sister told me he recognized her and she was

01:04:10.020 like, Oh yeah. Your friends told us that you were singing. And he goes, you could hear me.

01:04:15.340 Everyone did. Girl, you were a bell. He sounded good though. You were singing

01:04:20.080 Whitney Houston. Everyone heard me. I was like, I think he was singing like a musical. It was like

01:04:24.880 a Broadway number. Even better. Yeah. Big belt. But I remember I was here. That's how I imagined

01:04:29.440 your apartment was. It's just like a bunch of people singing. No, it was just like a bunch of

01:04:33.740 crazy people who actually just wanted to live on Hollywood Boulevard and me trying to be a singer.

01:04:41.180 Okay. So to wrap up, we've talked about all kinds of random stuff. Yeah. We could talk to you

01:04:53.400 forever. Oh, same. Y'all are amazing. But mostly we talked about your wild, amazing, incredible

01:04:59.400 success. So obviously you guys have been in the industry for a long time and now you're like

01:05:04.660 seeing the fruits of your labor. Like you've been working really hard and now it's like coming

01:05:08.260 true, which is incredible. And I know that's probably a very common experience for lots of

01:05:12.540 people who want to be artists, right? They want to be musicians. So like, what would you

01:05:16.420 guys say is your best piece of advice for people who are maybe a struggling musician right now

01:05:21.200 or maybe they want to pursue music and they're a little afraid of the uncertainty? Because

01:05:24.960 obviously, you know, like most things in entertainment, it's uncertain. You don't know. So what would

01:05:29.440 you guys say is your best piece of advice? It's a cliche, but don't give up. Yeah. I know

01:05:34.680 people always say like, believe in yourself. Don't give up. But it really is a real

01:05:38.180 thing. Yeah. Like she just reminded me this last, uh, the other day, like every year

01:05:42.720 I'll be like, this is the last year I'm going to pursue this dream or I'm going to give up.

01:05:47.140 I never gave up, but I was just like, I can't do this anymore.

01:05:50.600 It's close to joining the Peace Corps. Yeah. That was, that was the backup plan, the Peace

01:05:54.260 Corps. And she was like, I can't do that anymore. I know. I was like, yeah, let's, we'll make

01:05:57.800 another TikTok tomorrow and write again. Yeah. But it's like, you're going to feel like

01:06:01.380 you want to give up, but don't. Yeah. Consistency. Love. What about you flying? Any piece? That's

01:06:06.900 it. Maybe find someone you can do it with. Cause I feel like if it's just yourself and

01:06:11.160 you're relying on only yourself to do everything, everything feels like a lot of pressure, but

01:06:15.280 find someone who can do something with you. Even if it's a producer, like maybe you won't

01:06:20.000 find someone as beautiful and talented as Bobby here, but you know, you have to do it with

01:06:25.120 people. It takes a really strong foundation, especially because I feel like even so, like

01:06:32.300 I, especially in the music industry, I'm sure rejection is just a huge part of it. Yeah.

01:06:36.300 It just, it happens. Yeah. It is. It's never like anything that's exclusive to you. Yeah.

01:06:41.960 Right. Everyone goes through it. Yeah. But, and look at you now. Mm-hmm. And maybe, maybe

01:06:49.520 utilize TikTok. Yeah. Give it a shot. Give it a shot. You never know. You should do it.

01:06:54.620 But honestly, only if your shit's as good as Flayana Voss's. Then don't do it. If it's not.

01:06:59.480 Exactly. I would, don't bother. That spot's taken. You wish. You wish. Exactly. Thank
