As I've told every single guest that comes on here, sometimes people get an earnest intro. Sometimes there's no intro at all, but you've gotten a proper one. Welcome to the show, Chloe Trost. - I was gonna say, that was really sweet. - Welcome, Chloe Trost. - Woo. Woo. Thanks for having me. - Chloe, what's going on? It's been a minute since we've seen each other, I feel like. - It has. - I feel like, when was the last time we saw each other? Was it when we bumped into each other at that weird magazine party? Do you remember that? - Yes. - And Kamala's stepdaughter was in there? - Kamala's stepdaughter? Oh, Ella. - Ella. Oh, excuse me. - I was thinking. - I'm not. - Yeah, yeah. - Chloe's familiar with the family. Chloe be around. Chloe be around. - She has a name. - The squad. Chloe be around the whole squad. I forgot. - And it's not Kamala's husband. - It's Doug. - It's Doug. It's Doug. Get it right. - It's Doug. - And you know what? Doug Imhoff, if you're listening and I know that you are. - You say you do know. You say you came up with the last name. - Doug, if you're listening and I know that you are, I apologize. I apologize for disrespecting you and I'm gonna put respect on the Imhoff family name from this point going forward. Ella Imhoff, if you're listening and we know that you are, I don't have any apologies for you. You seem like you're living a nice life. - She's cool. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I have a lot, I feel like a lot of kinship and like parasocially before we had met 'cause she's a knitwear like creator. - Sure, sure, sure. - And she's like type of girl that has a lot of trinkets and so that, you know, that's me. - You do. Can you hold up your headphones for the camera? - Well, one of them fell off that was a cinnamon cereal. - What is that snack package type situation we got going on right there? Yeah. - Well, so they're like some of them are branded and then some of them can't be 'cause they didn't get the rights. They're from many brands. Like I got them in bulk on eBay. - Okay. - I live a lot of my life on eBay. - Of course. - Just searching, you know? - Sure, there's a lot of good information and stuff on there. - Information, more so I go there to search for information. - I go for the information. You know what I'm saying? Some people look at Playboy for the titties. I look at it for the information and I'm the same with eBay. - And the articles are good. - Some people go on there for vintage scarves and stuff like that. Not me, just straight, that's where I get my articles from. That's where I'm learning about geopolitical issues. It's all, that's all eBay for me. - Yeah, you're like, what's going on right now? - Yeah, yeah. - Why is everyone freaking out? - And weirdly enough, when you go on eBay, all the information on there, it's positive. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - That's why I like getting my news, it's not all doom and gloom, oh, no, bad stuff, bad stuff. No, no, no. - Everybody's happy. - You get on eBay, it's all just, it's all just like, we're gonna be all right. - Yeah. - Yeah, and that's why I like to go there. - You know, drop shipping. People who do drop shipping are just happier. They are. - I don't know if I'm really familiar with what drop shipping is. I'm not gonna hold you. - I'm a little man. Like, right? - Oh, just like direct to like, like what Etsy is. - No. - Not that. - Well, I guess you could, there are probably people that do drop shipping on Etsy, but there are people that make stuff on Etsy. - Oh, I see. - Or, I think drop shipping, and by the way, I don't know what I'm saying. - Okay, sure, sure, sure, all right. The blind in the blind situation. - Oh, so, sorry, a little bit of my hot glue hairs. So this is what happens when you hot glue is, then when you pull the glue stick away, right, and I have a cordless one, so I can go anywhere with it, right? I'm going on the walls. - Unlimited motion. - Yeah, right. And so there becomes these hairs that, and then so sometimes the hairs connect with my own and the beads will fall off and then I got to go back in. - Sure, sure, sure, sure. You end up with a lot of random hairs. You know what I'll say? Like my hair is short right now, but my hair is longer. It also just kind of like picks up random. Like if I were to like give you a hug, one of them hairs from your head might end up in here. - Yeah. - It causes some, it can cause some situations. It can cause some situations. Somebody like finds a strand. They're like, "What bitch's hair is that?" And you're like, "That's just, that's my friend Chloe." - So that feels like that came from a real story. You're like, "No, 'cause my hair, it like collects other women's hair in it." Like, does it? - It does, it has before, it has. Look, all I was trying to do- - That was a real story. - All I was, of course it was. But this is, I'm just saying it's something that, it's really, all I was trying to say was, we found some common ground. - Yeah, sure. - That's what I was trying to say. - Yeah, it's about our hair, our hair. Yeah, our hair, that's right. - Our hair is the same. And that's the common denominator between she and I. - I love- - She and I, I'm referring to you in the second person. I had some caffeine before and I feel like I'm talking insane. I feel like I'm being louder than usual. I went into the studio, recorded a rap song. I feel like I'm- - Well, that's cool. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. For those of y'all who are listening, I just came from- - Wait, who's here who's not listening? - Everyone. As if I'm talking to another, I'm talking to people who do not have this in their ears. - Who are just watching. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. Some people are watching on mute on YouTube, but for the people who are listening for real- - What are they talking about? - For the real listeners, I just, I recorded a rap song in character for this like TV show that I did that'll be out at some point. And yeah, they hit me with some caffeine and I feel like I'm like buzzing off it. - Yeah. - Yeah. - And some lean in the studio. - God, I wish. I've never done lean in my life. Despite being from Texas, lean's never, that's never crossed my threshold. - I don't think I've ever done lean. - You don't think? - Well, how do you know everything in your cup? - Sure. - I don't know, I don't. - You sound like a politician. I don't, as far as far as I understand, I've never touched promethazine, but that's just from in there. And they're like, you're like in front of the, in front of the Supreme Court. And they're like, did you or did you not? And you're like, who's- - There is no way to know what things fly into your mouth or your hair. - Yes, thank you. - And here we are finding common ground again. - Well, also another thing is that I have recorded for a TV show as a character singing, rapping, so- - Can you give us any of the background behind that? - Oh, of Genesis? - Yes, yeah. - I think so. - Tell us about, 'cause the show's already, that already came out. - Yeah, yeah. - You can talk about it. - Yes, I guess so. She is my other half. - Sure. - I actually just really feel like, I did connect with her, pretty emotionally. - Okay. - Upon, I think there's, I kind of, there is a little bit of me that I'm like, oh, I feel like I could be like a Southern rapper girl. - Sure. - Like where it's like, - What is it like? - Like, - Does that make sense? - If that's a Southern, - Yeah. - That's a Southern, - Like, yeah. - Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There it goes. - Nah. - Ooh. Okay. And who are you channeling when you're, when you're finding this character? - Well. - Uh-huh. You can't talk about it? - Yeah, yeah. - It's a secret? - Wait, she, yeah. If I talk about it, she might ask for a residual. - Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure. You can't give her that type of credit. I understand. So you gotta, we gotta, we gotta keep that in. - But we should, I mean, you could probably tell. - Sure, yeah. I gotta, hey, hey, tune into Reggie Dinkins. - White shorts. - Pretty. - White top. Drop top. - Oh, I see what's going on. I see what's going on. - A little bit of that. - I could see that. - Oh, that's a good inspiration. Damn. - I like her. - We gotta get her on the show. - Yeah. - What's, I don't. - What's she up to? She's probably transitioning to some sort of different genre. - Oh, I thought you were gonna say race, 'cause I do think that is what she's doing. - No, but you know who is doing that? It's Jack Harlow. - Well. - Okay, what? - Yeah, no, no, no, no, you're right. 'Cause it's like the Jack Harlow album has come out since we've, like, there's been a few episodes, I think, since the Jack Harlow album has come out, but we actually haven't discussed it on the podcast. Let's, can we, can we get into it? I'd like to. - I haven't really, I haven't really listened to it, but I just know the fodder. Again, I'm using fodder for the second time today. - It's okay. - That's all right. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - It's all right. - That might be the name of the podcast. - Yeah, the whole podcast. - Yeah. Music Fodder with Chloe Trost. - Oh, it's my podcast now. - Yeah, welcome. - No, I say that. - Come on. - Come on. - Come on, she done took all the UCB courses. She done took every single course and she gone, she gone find that next move. She go, uh, uh, uh, uh. Yeah, yes and. Wait, so you haven't heard the Jack Harlow album? - No, well, I've seen clips. - Okay. - And I've seen the imagery. - Sure, sure, sure. - Like, where he's in that, like, kind of, what's those hats where they're, like, knit, but they have a little bit of a. - He's wearing one of those, one of those kind of military style hats that Eminem is mainly known for, where it's like, it's like elastic brim, but it's like, it's, no, it's like elastic, like around here, around this part is stretchy, but there's just a tiny little brim. Not like a full. hat it's like the brim's about two inches who made those who thought nobody nobody who loved themselves yeah yeah i'll say it nobody who loved themselves or had respect for others because when you put one of those things on if you're not leading like a communist army yeah i don't even know what you got going on no or or it's like they made those because they're bikers interesting oh i see what you're saying but the biker the biker hat's goofy but in a way that like if you're on a cycle i'm not gonna be upset with you yeah if you're on a cycle because if you got the hat on you're cycling you're not biking anymore you're you're on your lance armstrong shit you're on your tour de france and you got the whole you got the unitard on is that what you call it i feel like i'm not supposed to say that word but a lot of people are saying words like see you know what i'm saying you're unitard you feel what you feel me it sounds derogatory it's not and i guess i know

sees that you're like revving up and they're like put her headphones on and get and get out fruit ninja get out fruit ninja or she's like what is that word mean well i've researched this a lot because i have like adhd yeah and you you know people out there they can tell me whatever the fuck i got do people like to tell you what you got oh i mean yeah what kind of stuff do people say you got beautiful disorder and amen amen to that um no appropriate step to chair is like um it helps people with like adhd and stuff like because they uh they focus better when they can feel their body and they can feel their body in space so it's like essentially like a chair that that if a chair is too like comfortable um it they can uh they're sort of not feeling their body in space so it's like it's a chair that they can kind of lean and and get in weird positions on so that they can like like you ever see somebody that's just kind of like trying to work but they're like this and stuff yeah i guess so i suppose so that's kind of me but um like a specific one that i really like that i was maybe gonna buy okay and all the advertisements have a kid on them but but i looked at the weight that you the max weight and i make it so so it's okay um but it's this chair that's on a swivel that's like basically just a really shallow cup and it swivels completely and it kind of tips a little too oh i know it's i know what you're talking about and it's like it's kind of a deep chair you fall in there it's kind of like a little egg shape i know what you got and it seems like it feels really good huh all right well i'm glad we got time to the bottom of that i'm glad we got to the bottom of proprioceptive chairs for people with adhd yeah the quarter pounder with cheese is made with 100 fresh

performing doing singing so like music yes i i the the way i got into performing was going to piano lessons with my brother and like singing and playing piano and shout out duncan duncan i actually i thought about him a lot before recording this podcast and i called him and i was like i was like lyrics man yeah and he had some ideas um that uh we were we were floating around which we can get into but he is like uh he's like an encyclopedia of music and he's in a band yeah yes he's in multiple bands shout out video age shout out the convenience shout out howdy he's in howdy oh shit that's cool they're about to go on tour with bleachers whoa i did not know your brother was in howdy wow i just really learned something for real yes well he plays keyboard so like the main band is these two the two front men um and then uh like the other uh like instruments um like they haven't always had a keyboard like a piano player so he's been on tour with them got you i don't know what you'd consider like being like formally in a band versus like playing with a band but like you're in like the touring lineup it's kind of like um what's his name like the tame impala guy like the tame impala guy makes all that music by himself yeah and then he like has a band that comes with him bruce springsteen and the e street band bro shout out the e street band yes you know what i'm saying i feel like so much of it is about bruce and it's like back to jersey shout out the e street band yeah chloe as a as a young as a young trust in jersey what were you listening to growing up well my parents um they have like a wonderful taste in music that i think is a little bit separate from the type of music you'd probably think that like a suburban mom and dad in new jersey would be pushing like of course you know whatever i listen to a lot of like billy joel and like and um things that are more like you know dad music whatever that he loves like on like uh yacht rock stuff like i love that but they also um when they were in college they had a friend um who brought a bunch of like tapes from manhattan where he lived like they went to school in pennsylvania but um they brought this guy would come back to their college and bring a bunch of tapes from manhattan like clubs that were playing like funk and um like uh gap band and like uh d train and stevie wonder and prince and uh you know whatever and and they would listen that was the music that they would listen to in college and so it was like really informed and it really informed what they were listening to in college and so it was like really the type of music that they loved hearing in the house if they wanted to like feel good so my mom was playing like groove and funk and um that's like her that's her go-to like in the car too like we have like you know sirius xm whatever she's like congrats kind of sirius xm yeah yeah y'all doing good yeah yeah yeah yeah it's like what that's a monthly subscription is it monthly or is it yearly depends on how you sign up right i'm sure my uh family's doing monthly wow that's like where we're at sure yeah yeah uh you know what's you know what's funny no matter how much no matter no matter how well it's been going for me i'm always opting for the monthly subscription no matter even if i know i'm gonna keep it for a year something about the number being smaller even though they're like oh yeah over the course of the year like this is a better offer i'm like just in case i want to opt out which probably says something about the way that i yes you know what i mean it's like ten dollars a month or we'll give it to you for forty dollars for the year yeah and you're like that is a horrible financial decision ten dollars a month ten dollars a month yeah i'm doing that every time anyway but yeah oh my god funk groove funk grooves that kind of stuff um like a big earth wind and fire and stuff like that and um a lot michael jackson and um a lot of like uh in the vein of that though like um on the on the like more white side of like motown motown records is like uh carol king and james taylor a lot of those like folksy white people. - I like that you separated them just like in conversation. You were like, all right, so like this stuff and then on the white side, on the other. - It sounds pretty different. - In the front of the bus, we got Carole King. - Hey, I didn't say that. I didn't say anything weird. - You didn't say any bus stuff. I just wanna say, if y'all are listening to bus stuff, that's all me. I said that stuff. She did say vigor a lot though. - No, no, no, no. - She did say vigor a lot. - No, we said we were cutting that. - We did not say that. - Yeah, we did. - You, we did not. - I'm looking at 100 people in this room and they're all nodding at me and not at you. Yeah, but I, and then my dad like loves classic, The Beatles and like we would listen to Beatles like radio or like always listening to like the countdown of, countdown of like 100 best Beatles songs that they voted on every year. - Who's that? - Fucking, I don't know. - Yeah, sure, sure, sure. America. - People, people that are going to a website to categorize their favorite Beatles songs. - Whoa, Obama must have been the president. - Well, yeah. - You know what I mean? - I mean, yes. - We're nobody, people aren't getting, people aren't doing that today. They're not getting on a website to be like number 68. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. Imagine getting down to that. - Yeah. - I don't know, I guess it's probably, I'm trying to think now of the form, what they're actually filling out. - Mm. - If they're just filling out their top 10 and then they're cycling that into what the 100 is based on like average first choice. You know, like ranked voting for like the mayor? - I've heard of it, yeah. - It's like that. - Yeah. - Well, someone knows how that works. Drop in the comments if you know how that works. - How do you rank the top 100 things? You know, like ranked voting? It's basically like that. But instead of it being four candidates, it's a hundred songs. - It's pretty much, it's pretty much. - Yeah, I think I made a lot of sense. - No, totally, no. When you said it, I was like, that does add up to me. I can't argue with that on any level. - Can you guess which song was like most of the time won? - Imagine? - No. - I don't know that many Beatles songs to be honest. I don't think, the Beatles haven't come out that much on this, haven't come up that much on the podcast. - The Beatles haven't come out. - They haven't come out yet. Yeah, yeah. They're all, all the remaining Beatles are gay. - Okay. - They haven't, who's to say, who's to say? How many Beatles, we got three of them left, right? - No, two. - Two. - Yeah. - Fuck. - Yeah. - John. - John dead. - Is not alive. - Yeah, yeah. - Paul is alive. - Paul is alive. - Paul's alive and Ringo's alive. - Paul and Ringo, and I love Paul McCartney. I love his personality now. - Sure, what's he got going on? I'm not really tapped into current Paul. - There's some really, really funny videos of Paul McCartney like speaking. You know, as he's been older. - Yeah. - And I mean, he's a happy guy. He seems like he feels accomplished in his life, which is like-- - You would hope. - Yeah. - You would hope. - I think some, you know, and like his son plays music. Like a lot of the Beatles sons and stuff like play music. James McCartney and like there's this one video that I love so much of James McCartney got asked to play at like the Brits or like some live TV performance. And the host is like, "And James?" "We have a really special video to show you "before you perform." And it's like behind him it's this huge video and it's Paul McCartney and he's like, "Hi Jamesy, Rocket Jamesy, yeah." He does that like weird noise. He's like, "Rocket Jamesy, yeah." Like it's like, "Yeah." I don't know what that is. He's like, "Yeah." He does that a lot. Like those kinds of noises. Like if you find videos of him, he's like, "Yeah." That's something he's picked up in his later years. - I don't know what it is, but it's like-- - He wasn't doing that on "Sergeant Pepper." - No, I mean, there's a lot of layers in those. - Sure. - So he might have been doing it underneath. - So who's to say? Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Totally. - We gotta get the original pressings. - Well, they really revolutionized studio recordings. - Speak on it. - Well, because they stopped touring very quickly. Because it was too loud for them to hear. - It was too crazy. - Their own vocals and stuff. - The Beatlemania and all that. - Beatlemania. - That shit is real, guys. - Sure. - Like no conspiracy theories. - Despite what the mainstream media is trying to tell you, Beatlemania, that shit really went down. - Yeah. And they stopped touring really early. And then so basically, their whole career was studio albums. And that's why they made so many albums that they didn't really go on tour, is that they had time to keep going in the studio. I don't know how the fuck Taylor Swift is doing that, because she's like on tour and making studio albums. - I mean, Tyler just did that. Tyler was like on the Chromacopia tour and then put out a whole other album while he was still on tour. - Yeah. And Tyler, the creator, is up there with the Beatles. - To me, he is. To me, he really is. - Sure. - To me, he is. I was gonna say this before, but it's like the Beatles kind of like, I understand their place in American pop culture, but they don't really mean anything to me. - Yeah. - That's okay. - I think it's like that's music that really kind of, if you're our age, if you're somebody who was born in the '90s, you kind of need that to have been passed down by your parents. - Yeah. - And that is not what my parents passed down to me, so it's not really, I don't have a reverence for it in the same way that I know a lot of people do. - Yeah. - The stuff that you were saying that your dad was giving you, it's the same stuff my dad was giving. My dad was giving me Earth, Wind, and Fire. My parents were giving me Sade. My parents were giving me Chicago. - Yeah. ♪ Saturday ♪ - Come on. ♪ In the park ♪ ♪ I think it was the fourth of July ♪ - The way that they would sing at that era was like, ♪ In the park ♪ - Yeah. - ♪ Every day, every day, every day is the fourth of July ♪ - That's how you know that Coke was going crazy. - Yeah. - That's sad, you know what I'm saying? It is crazy, like I watch a bunch of documentaries and it is like every single documentary that I'm watching about like every figure from that era. Even like the ones who aren't associated with drugs, like I would just watch this like Chevy Chase documentary. He doesn't have any, like, he's not known as like a drug guy. And I was watching it and he was just like, yeah, I don't really remember those movies. I was pretty heavy on cocaine. I was doing big, big boats of cocaine every day. - Yeah. - And I'm just like, oh, that was every single person. And that's why they were singing like that. - That's like the, the-- ♪ Fourth of July ♪ ♪ La la la ♪ - They had, the vibrato was crazy. That's like the, the Eagles were, my dad showed me a lot of the Eagles. And I was thinking about that in terms of like a lot of the other parents in town. Like if there was like a, a, you know, party or something, all the music they would play were like classic rock, the Eagles, like, like very that. And my parents like never really played classic rock that much. Although I do, I do genuinely like a lot of that stuff too, but it, that wasn't like as much as the other stuff. But the Eagles, my dad, you know, would play a lot of the Eagles. And there was like that song. It is ♪ Life in the fast lane ♪ ♪ Trying to make you lose your mind ♪ And the, the story behind that is that they wrote it 'cause they were driving in a van and they had like, I don't know, like pounds of Coke in the back, pounds. And they were like speeding like a hundred miles per hour down the highway for something, whatever. And they were like, if we got like, we are fully like going to get arrested and we have like, pounds of Coke in the back of our van, van, van, van. And in the back of our van. When I found that out, I got really scared as a kid. - They had, when you found out that they had all those drugs back then, you as a child was like, uh-oh, they gotta get that together. - That makes me feel creepy. - Were you, I was like this in like with movies as a kid, were you like this where it's like when, when somebody was in danger in the movie, I was like, well, come on, like they gotta get off that ledge. They're gonna die. They're gonna fall off. Like I was really like, it would really like, affect me emotionally. Like I watched. - I had trouble with that. - I watched Hardball. Have you ever seen Hardball? - I don't remember. - Is anybody in the room? You ever seen Hardball? - What's that movie? - We gotta, I'm gonna bring, I'm bringing black audience members going forward. Hardball, it's a movie from 2001 starring Keanu Reeves. - That guy's white. - That's true. But wait until you hear this next part. But wait, but wait till you, okay, he's white, but wait till you see where the, it's a cross-racial movie. - It's a cross-racial movie where he undergoes a-- - I'm invited in. - Yeah, Keanu Reeves plays this like degenerate gambler in Chicago and he gets in trouble with like some bookies or whatever, he gets in some kind of like criminal trouble. He goes to court, which is, this is the basis of so many movies before like 2010, where it's just like a guy gets in some trouble and then instead of jail, the judge is like, you could do jail time or blank. - Yes. - Like that's such a big-- - That is a genre. - That is such a big genre and he was a degenerate gambler. He goes to court and I guess he's like, he's like an ex-pro baseball player. He used to play like minor league baseball and the judge is like-- - Is that really pro? - Yeah, yeah, that's pro. - Sorry. - But it's just not, you know, the highest level. Anyway, the judge goes, you can either go to jail for a little bit, do some time, or you can coach this all black kid baseball team in the south side of Chicago. And he's like, ah man, I guess, which is also the exact same plot as the Mighty Ducks. It's literally the exact same thing, but he goes and coaches this team And guess what, they don't get along at first, But ultimately, they find some common ground. At first, they're drawn apart by their differences. By the end, they're drawn together by their similarities. Which, guess what? It's a lot more than they think. Yeah. They think because of the color of their skin, they can't find common ground and unity. But actually, through time and shared passion of baseball, they realize it's not the case. You could learn a lot from that movie, man. I'm Keanu Reeves here, burying my soul. And I'm pushing you back, and you think it's because of the color of your skin? What color is it? It's white. I think it's kind of pink. Your pink skin. You should start claiming that. You should start being like, I'm not white. I'm pink. That's really good. Yeah, let's get that going. I'm pink. It's like when racist people always love to be like, I don't even see no colors. I don't care if they're black, white, green, yellow, purple. And I'm like, well, but a lot of those aren't real colors. So it's like you have to, even if you don't see the colors, you have to know that those aren't. There's no purple people. Barney, Clifford. The Smurfs. I don't literally do Shrek. Literally. Don't none of that. Walk into my house right now. I would feed them a dinner. Smurfs, come on to Shrek. Come on in. Get you a meal. Get some cornbread. It's like, no, they wouldn't. No, you wouldn't. You'd be scared because you've never seen nothing like that before. Those are monsters. Those are monsters. And they're not supposed to live in our realm. They're supposed to live out in the woods, in the forest, in the trees. Exactly. And they're animated. So if they came into you. That'd be even more confusing. In the flesh, you'd be totally stalled. Yeah, but I guess that is what happens in all the movies. When it's like a combination of animation and live action, I feel like every time the cartoon shows up, everybody's like, no, no, how'd you get, Bugs Bunny, how'd you get in my house? Yes. I'm thinking about Space Jam. Space Jam. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I guess in that, I guess Michael Jordan ends up in, in their world, not the other way around. Yeah. Michael Jordan goes to. But he can still go, whoa, where am I? Yeah. Daffy Duck. Chloe. The quarter pounder with cheese is made with 100% fresh beef, cooked when you order it. Add hot crispy fries and an ice cold Coke.

Progressive Casualty Insurance Company affiliates and other insurers not available in all states. You brought us some lyrics today. Yep. You brought us some lyrics today from an artist that, frankly, I know very little about. Okay. I've done a little bit of research, but I'd like you to tell us about your relationship with Billy Joel. Okay. I know a lot of Billy Joel. Okay. I love Billy Joel. Okay. Billy Joel is a balladeer, whether or not he likes to be called that or not. Okay. Sorry, I'm just going to say it. You heard that, Billy Joel? Yeah. Quit fucking running from your destiny. You're a balladeer. Stop trying to act like you're something different. Chloe Trost and me both said that, and we know you're listening to this. Yes. Stop ducking the fucking smoke. Please. And he- Stop ducking the smoke. Please. Please. Stop ducking the smoke. Please. Please. I'm pink. Yeah, he started in the 70s, late 70s, and was just in a band, and then kind of created his own shit and recorded. Amazing piano player, incredible, like savant level piano player, can play anything kind of stuff, like classically trained. Sure. And I always really loved that about his music, because sometimes he's like, I'm going to his music was like all about the piano. And it's similar to like Elton John, which they often get confused with each other. Which one did Piano Man? Billy Joel. Okay. Right. And yeah, and they get confused because they were both incredible piano players and they would sit and play whenever they would perform. Like they're never just going out on the mic and singing their songs. Like they're always at the piano singing. It's like that they come two for one in that way. So you could, if you're just looking at it on that level, you could say that they're both the Piano Man. You could say that. We can end here. You could say kind of everybody involved is Piano Man. You looked at me pretty crazy when I said, which one did the song Piano Man? They kind of both did that in their own way. In their own way. Totally. Like totally they are both like piano guys. Yeah, totally. James Blake is like that too. I went to a James Blake show. James Blake? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he really is. It is. It's basically that. He does not get off from the piano the entire time. He sits. On your island. Whoa. There's no other one. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. I know him. James Blake, he had an album that came out right after that. Right as I moved to New York City. And it's kind of like a breakup record. Yeah. I don't even know if it's a breakup record. The Colors one? No, it was called Assume Form. It was called Assume Form. And it has a bunch of songs about love and like loss and like heartbreak and stuff like that. What year? This came out in January 2019. Oh, that's when you moved to New York? I moved to New York in August 2018. Wow. Okay. Cool. Yeah. I didn't know that. I just used to, my life wasn't going that good at that point. And this album came out and it was really sad. And those things really coalesced in like a, in a big way. Yeah. Really sad music. And my sad life. I was living in a basement. You ever do that? We've all been there. You ever sleep underground before? I've, I slept on the ground for a year. Kind of. But that was sort of my choice. Oh, you did that on purpose. I think I remember this. I don't believe in beds. I don't know if we have time to get into that. How much time do you think it's going to take for you to get into how you don't believe in beds? It could be a lot. Okay. But I just don't believe that in our city where we get so little space to ourselves, most of the time, just one room. Yeah. A lot of times. You are going to allow an unmovable giant object that's a magnet for sleep to just remain taking up your entire space that you have and can live in during the day. But you're not sleeping. Well, sleep is good, though. Yes, but you can't do it during the day. You said a magnet for sleep like it was roaches. Well, in the day when you wake up. It attracts so much sleep. Well, it's like you wake up and you're like. Disgusting sleep. I'm going to start my day and then it's like this bed is taking up my entire room. Okay. So what were you sleeping on instead? I would roll up this like tatami mat type thing and I would roll it out and I'd sleep on the floor and then I'd roll it back up. And yeah, I had a couple different. Boyfriends through that. And they were sleeping on the mat? They were sleeping on the mat. Y'all was both on the mat like it was play time. Like it was like, well, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. Tell me. Yeah. Yeah. That feels very much. It feels very much like kindergarten. It feels very much like it's like we're rolling this shit out like it's nap time. And it's like, all right, we're going to lay down for about 45 minutes and then it's time to get up and do blocks. Like that's. A lot of people were stressed out for me. I could imagine. I could imagine that. But then, and I brought that to two different apartments. And you were sleeping on the tatami mat for how long? A year and a half. How's your back? Great. Ask the Japanese people who do it every day. You know what? Japanese people, if you're listening and we know that you are, talk to us about the mat. If you're sleeping on the mat. If you're in Yokohama, let me know if you're sleeping on a shaki futon. What's it called? Shaki futon. A shaki futon? It's either B or F. Shaki futon or shaki futon. All right. Country of Japan, go ahead and clock in and let us know which is the correct one. Yeah. And they are comfortable. And I think people, people give me, give me shit for it, but it's really good for your bones to, and it's proprioceptive. But that's, well, that word's never been used before on this podcast. And now, now people are going to, yeah, now it's been several times. Wait a second. So, but you do sleep in a bed now. Okay. Not really. But. So, then I moved and in my current place, I slept in a twin. Okay. By choice. Because I just don't like the space that things take up and I just don't believe in it. Fascinating. And then I ended up adding a little bit of foam to it. So, it was a little bit more closer to a full. And I put pillows on there. So, it was kind of like a couch. And then people thought that was weird because people thought it was weird. Yeah, I'm understanding where you're coming from. - Yeah, yeah, and I built a framework for it out of multiple bed frames that I like jerry-rigged and then um that people thought that was weird and I had it on a 22 inch platform what what I like can't even really conceptualize the thing that you're telling me it sounds like your bed was up like seven feet up in the air oh and it was originally a twin and now you've built it out to be like a queen and a half no no no far far it sounds like you got your bed up on hydraulics that's what it sounds like to me if I could no but if I could get my bed on hydraulics I have a dream of having my bed on a pulley and it going up to the ceiling and then coming back down you want to live like peewee herman yes of course look at me um peewee didn't have that what are you talking about I want to live like peewee herman um no and then I after that I got um I bought a round bed that's meant for boats and it was five feet around so it wasn't even as tall as me so I slept kind of like a cat like in a circle and I had that on the ground and I would put a shit ton of pillows on it so it's kind of like a conversation pit in my mind like when it wasn't my bed and then now I sleep on a futon you are we had we had uh this guy Julian Shapiro Barnum on the show yeah and you know Julian yeah and he was talking about his life and he was explaining situations kind of like this and I was just like oh you guys are y'all are living kind of like manic pixie manic pixie dream girls in real life you're really like you're living like a girl in a movie where they're like what's your favorite food and she's like ice cream wait yeah yeah I eat ice cream but only for breakfast yeah and then she like and then she has a fire pole in her house and like yeah and she only sleeps on like she only she only sleeps on like a like a fire hydrant size pillow yes yeah I mean like you're kind of living like that type of lifestyle uh-huh yeah but like I found my I found my joy and peace in that and also you know I've been I'm I'm living in a very uh happily single phase and realizing like those things that I do are really not for anyone and if anything when when when really resonated with Carmen just now whenever there's like I'm dating somebody honestly those things get a little stifled which you'd think in a manic pixie dream girl way you'd sort of let those freak things fly with someone because it's like enticing whatever I try to get like a little bit more normal and then it's like in my in my solitude I like that you let it I like that that's like how I like to live it's not a performance Devin I believe that I don't do this for men that's also what they'd say in the movie though that's what that's what they get this angry yeah probably they'd be like this purple hair is for me yeah it's not a show none of this is a show and the fact that I only eat blueberries on Wednesday that's also just a thing that I like to do I don't know why my manic pixie dream girl stuff is all food related well also but I do feel like that's a big part of it you're explaining it too I brush my teeth with sprinkles in the morning like in the morning so the morning I ice cream in the morning I brush them with sprinkles in the morning yeah um they actually was an interesting article that I read about how manic pixie dream girls are really just based on like girls with autism uh-huh anyway we can kind of we can bypass that we can just you're right we did it we did end up on the bed stuff for longer than I thought it was gonna no you're right you did you wore me you wore me and that's on me um you brought us you brought us a song from uh from Billy Joel which I I listened to and realized that I had heard it before but like as somebody who like really didn't come up on Billy Joel or that style of music when I was listening to it I was like oh I thought this was gonna be a different song whole time I realized I thought Billy Joel was making Bob Springsteen movie Bob Bruce Springsteen music fucking hell Bob Dylan Bruce Springsteen are all these guys they look the same to you basically they basically they're doing they are they kind of fit fit in like a similar space in my mind and I understand that that's incorrect like people and people who have like an affection for the music I feel like you're pissed off at me when I do this my buddy my buddy Connor who's also been on the show he really gets mad at me with my with my lack of knowledge around like old rock music I really I really don't know a lot of stuff and I and I realize I sound ignorant and you know why it's because I am yeah that's okay just admit it man yeah um yeah but I brought this song because I thought I it has a verse that I think is one of the silliest things he's ever written and I say that he is a balladeer because he has created some beautiful sentimental music like just the way you are or good night my angel um or um and so it goes like in every heart there is a room a sanctuary safe and strong like just really beautiful lyrics right and then this song keep in the faith by Billy Joel just like you know it it's it's sort of he he sometimes likes to go into this doo-wop era thing um because he just like likes that vibe sure a lot of those guys are like that yeah but he's like it's the 80s so it's not like doo-wop time but he just likes to reference it and so this part of the song is like I was like we won't matador boots only flag brothers had them with a cuban heel iridescent socks with the same color shirt who's wearing iridescent socks with the same color shirt iridescent socks with the same color shirt and a tight oh and then he really hits this one and a tight pair of chinos and a tight pair of chinos he really hits the chinos sure because that's maybe that's the piece de resistance yeah yeah I put on my shark skin jacket yeah you know the kind with the velvet collar okay and diddy bop shades not clear on what that is I'll let you know please do then he has a pair of pants trojans and his old spice aftershave and I comb my hair up in a pompadour like the rest of the romeo's war a permanent wave a permanent wave yeah that's yeah I guess it's the 80s so I guess tight pants were really popping during that during that particular phase but yeah this is just billy joel billy joel still with us correct yes but he has had been having a little bit of neurological trouble oh no I'm sorry to hear that and yeah he was supposed to play I mean he had the msg uh residency for sellouts he sold out the most nights I was there and all it's I this is a the main thing that I know about billy joel because if you go to msg if you go to madison square garden you come to new york city they have a bunch of banners up and a bunch of it are like the knicks play there so they have like knicks conference championship or like hockey it'll be like here's the retired player jersey yeah and then there's one that's just like billy joel 138 nights consecutive yeah sold out at the garden like what garden I've never seen that at a I've never seen that at a sports venue before yeah but he's like music artist you're a legend here too he is so a legend there though because also he's so tri-state that it's like msg obviously he could go anywhere and perform whatever but it's like the his fans are here they're in new york you know he's from long island it's like and people and in a way like fish bob springsteen bob springsteen you know all those guys all those guys like the same and um uh like fish you know how people like come over and over again yeah because billy joel has such a huge catalog they would go like people would go to these msg shows over and over again so it's like he's like switching it out like the set list I mean it's just incredible he's playing like I mean you know um uh scenes from italian restaurant you know that song bottle of red bottle of white whatever kind of mood you're in tonight i'll meet you any time you want in our italian restaurant brenda and eddie were still going steady in the summer of 75 then the bernstein and the marriage would be at the end of

tri-state girl who who do you think is kind of on your tri-state mount rushmore also just before you even answer that can i say You have not, you have not brought in, every artist that you brought up popped before 1990. You've not, you've got. Oh, no modern. You have no, nothing contemporary for us. Not today. Okay. This, it's old, it's oldies day on the show. No, we not talk about none of that. We not getting into none of that later. No, no, no, no. Yeah, you're going to need me for a couple hours. Okay. We'll have to, we got to get you back in the. Sure. We got to get you back in the building. Yeah, there's a lot of things to hit. I was never going to get to all of them. Who are, just, just out of curiosity, who are your kind of like, like modern day presently, you're like current kind of like. Oh God. Your current folks. Oh, okay. Let me think about this. Okay. Or even if you have like more contemporary folks you were listening to when you were growing up, like who like that was like popping when you were a kid, were you like really resonated with you? Um, well, okay. Like when I first heard, um, like quote unquote indie stuff, um, like growing up, like when Haim first came on the scene, when I was in high school, I was like, these are three girls playing all of the instruments. And for some reason that was like, still it so foreign to me, even growing up doing music. I was like girl playing bass, girl playing guitar, other girl playing guitar, taking solos, like. And get this. Singing like, yeah. They're sisters. And they're sistas. Yeah. Well, I didn't put the A on it. Oh, sorry. I didn't, you added an extra. They are sisters. You want me to hit the R? That feels like, you know what I'm saying? They're sisters. Cause it's like them being, they're not, they're not sistas. Yeah. All right. Did you know Tyler Perry has two different shows? One of them is called Sistas and the other one's called Divorce Sistas. Oh. Yeah. Really? They don't have to do with each other? Uh, I'm not really clear on that. I'm not really clear on that. I know that they both exist. I can't tell if Divorce Sistas is a spinoff or if it's an entirely separate program. Well, look that up before you bring it up again. Because you could just be talking out of your ass right now. That's a lot of what this show is, honestly. A lot of this show is I'm just saying stuff. I'm not fat checking. Fat checking? I'm not, I'm not fat, and I'm not fat checking and I'm not facts checking. I'm not doing, you know what? How about if you're watching? How about? How about you stop fat checking as well? How about you, how about you check your fucking bias? How about that? How about you stop fat, you're checking around for everybody and what type of fat they got. Cut it out. Yeah. Instead of fat checking, start fact checking. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The president's a cheeto. Bro, like, yes. Like, say that. We let a cheeto into the White House. How about you do some fact checking? Okay. There's a lot of lying going on right now. A lot of bullshit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Is that Paul McCartney? Rocket James-y. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What were you asking? Oh, stuff that I like more modern. Yeah. Haim. Shout out Haim when that first came out. Shout out Haim. Forever. I mean, I really love Forever. Forever we start to get to you. Yeah, try it. And I try to find a new good fight. If you say the word and I say goodbye. Forever we start to get to you and me. Wait, you gotta hit the Michael Jackson sometimes. They go like, forever we try to get to you. Yeah, that's good. I think they were very inspired by Michael Jackson. Yes, of course. They really, especially in their early stuff, there was a real like R&B, there were real R&B grooves in there that I think really drew me to them. I really love their album where they had like Thundercat on it too. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now it's morning, 3 a.m., my phone keeps ringing to stop the scenes, love my bed, and my phone keeps spinning up, I keep thinking about her, I lost my mind, I'm waking up for the last time. We didn't know all the words, but the melody, we were right at the same time. They're more rhythmic with it, so you don't have to know the words. They are. I actually really love that song. Love that song. I really fuck with that song very, very heavy. Yeah. You have a higher voice than I really thought. Whew. Ah, that could go either way, you know what I mean? Yeah. There's a version of that where you're just like, oh, man, I didn't realize that you could get to that range, and then there's also a version of that where you're like, you're kind of a bitch, huh? Yeah. You kind of sound like a little bitch when you sing, and I'm learning that now. You think all tenors are bitches? Yeah, yeah, and you know what? As a matter of fact, I do. Say it. Is that what I was hitting a tenor right there? Where'd you think I was going to be, pitch-wise? Bare tongue. You thought I was going to be. Now I'm walking through. 3 a.m., my phone is ringing. It's ringing. Pushed off the sheet on the bed, because my phone keeps ringing. I don't know why I can't look at you. I lost my mind. I'm picking up for the last time. The way your eyes went completely dead when you did that was so scary. I couldn't look at you do that. It was really freaking me out. I didn't like where I went. You are a recorded music artist. I'm kind of excited for it to come out. I was nervous. They had a real producer in there with me who was really being like, all right, so I'm going to need you to do that. I was in a very professional music studio where I was like, oh, this is like. Real artists definitely record in there. I've been in the SNL little recording booth, which feels. I lived in there. Yeah, they had Khloe in there doing all types of stunts. Vocally. I was singing a lot, but I think a lot of people didn't know. I think also. I think also a lot of producers and stuff didn't know that I sang in a lot of tracks that just were ambiently in sketches and things. I would go in and if there was music for it or whatever, I would record it. The one for Rami. Oh, no, it was. What was it? It was Ozempic for Ramadan. Yeah. It's Ozempic. Ozempic. Oh, Allah. Allah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, no. Alhamdulillah, Ozempic, Allah. Yeah. That sounded incredible. Oh, it's. That sounded so good. Alhamdulillah. It sounded. Yeah, I loved doing that. And that was fun. I got to do like a lot of things just on a mic. Yeah. And that felt so free. Sure. I love doing that secretly. I thought that was very fun. It's. I was actually kind of. I was stunned by how much I enjoyed being in the studio and hearing the track kind of come back. Honestly, I was really. Y'all gonna. One day, when this show comes out, I'm going to be allowed to release the track and put it up. I was kind of going the fuck in. I'm not going to hold you. I heard it. I don't know. They're going to. I know how they're going to use it in the show. I don't think they're going to ever. You're not going to really get to hear the whole thing all the way through, but I'll release it. When it's time, when the show's out, I'll like. I got some footage. I was. Yeah, it felt really good. Give me some listens. It's too. I'm too late in my life to earnestly start rapping, but I do know that. Maybe. There's a world in which you let me off the hook, and you're like, no, no, no, no. And you're like, ah, yeah, yeah, there's something to it. There's something. You hit your 30s. It's too late. You know what you could do, though, is you can enter the space a little bit ironically. That's kind of. I think if you are a comedian, I feel like that's kind of the way you have to hit. I feel like Zach Fox was funny rapping first. And then so do I. Zach, if you're listening and we know that you are, pull up to the pod. We're trying to get him. We're trying to figure it out, but he's a busy man. I'm trying to get him for myself. Hey. He's married. He is. You're a beautiful woman, so don't worry about it. That's true. But yeah, I feel like he got into the space joke rapping at first and then started rapping for real. That's exactly how you could do it. Maybe. We'll see. You got to make it really funny, man. You can't make it. It can't be. People can't think it's earnest at all. It has to be like a full joke at first. Yeah, or just like. Do you know Kyle, like the rapper Kyle? I went to go see Kyle in concert in 2014. Sick. I'm familiar with Kyle, yeah. It's like it has to be kind of that style at first in the way that kind of. Oh, but Kyle was not joking. No, no, he wasn't, but it's like kind of like has like video game sounds. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're making songs called Sex and Super Smash Brothers. I like that. I like that song. I love that song. Yeah, that song's pretty good. Shout out to Kyle. I bet you we could get Kyle, honestly. Yeah. Kyle, if you're listening and we know that you are, pull up to the show. Baby. I actually. I was a pretty early Kyle adopter. I was fucking with his shit pretty early. In 2014, I went to go see his show. He was the middle act. The headliner was this white boy rapper named Watsky. Mitski. Yeah, it's Mitski's brother, Watski. Watski was the headlining act. Kyle was the middle act. The opening act, Anderson.Paak. No. Paak? I love him. Anderson Paak. Love him. Anderson Paak, this is. You can look it up. Back in 2014, he had like a mostly bald head, and then he had a dreadlock ponytail. He was mostly bald. What? Big dreadlock ponytail in the back. If you're. When you're listening to this, if you're listening. Yeah, yeah. If you're listening to this, the thing you're hearing right now, go Google Anderson Paak like 2014. You'll see bald head, dreadlock ponytail. Whoa. It was a crazy, crazy time. Anyway, we got to get to the voicemail. Oh, yeah. You ready to listen to the voicemail? Yeah. Let's see what's going on. Grab those headphones. Here we go. Ba-da-ba-ba-ba. For more information, go to Progressive.com. What's going on, Devin? What's up, guest? First time, long time. What's up? My name is Moses. I wanted to submit a lyric from Gym Class Heroes. Awesome. They've always been a really funny group to me, because obviously they're a hip-hop group, but they kind of sat with the emo kids. They were signed to Fueled by Ramen, the label that famously blew up Ball Boy, Paramore, Panic at the Disco. Can we just pause real quick? Gym Class Heroes. I want to talk about this. I did this video for this thing for Spotify where they talked about, they were like, oh, what music were you listening to in 2006? And they brought a bunch of records from around that time. And the Spotify people brought a Gym Class Heroes record. Gym Class Heroes, when I was 15, was my favorite group. When I was like, I found Gym Class Heroes, I found them early. I found them on MySpace when I was probably 13 or 14 years old, and I really fucked with them heavy. Super formative. They became known later on. How is this? This has never come up. I've never talked about this on the show, but this was like, Gym Class Heroes was the first group that I found that I was like, oh, I'm on this early. I'm on this early, and me and my friends really were into it. That was them for us. And before they started making music for Target and stuff like that, they used to make proper, they were making rap rock records and playing, they played Warped Tour. Yes. They were doing that type of thing before. They were making songs with Adam Levine. And I was- My heart's a stereo. Yeah. And I was off the train by the time they were- Of course. I mean, who was on the train? America, apparently. That was a big hit song. But like, yeah, I got off the train before then, but Gym Class Heroes, they were making real emo rap records in like the- I gotta check that out. Mid-aughts. I could send you some stuff. It's real like sad boy, like rap rock stuff. I could get into that right now. Okay. Just in my life. It's. I'll send you some stuff. Okay. They had a whole song where they just name checked all the like indie bands of that time. You know, like one of those songs where it's like, you know. Good Charlotte. Exactly. Good Charlotte sucks. No, it was like, it was basically like they were dry. It's called Taxi Cab. And it's just, it starts out, it's like, I took Cutie for a ride in my death cab. Oh, oh fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A little word play. She made a dashboard confessional to spill her guts in cursive. Nice. Bright eyes like sunny day real estate. Oh my. My little chemical romance left a bad taste in my mouth. Yeah, that's. That's like a homework assignment in English class. Yes, it's like, dude, write a rap. Yeah, if you had to go to rap school, they'd be like, how many, how many different groups can you fit in this rap? Anyway, I just wanted to do a brief aside about Gym Class Heroes. I have a deep connection to them from when I was a boy. Anyway, let's keep going. Also Gym Class Heroes. So I don't know, I've always found, found their place in the industry. They're kind of interesting. I agree. Um, anyways, my girl just reminded me of their song Cookie Jar featuring The Dream. I was off by then. And basically, Travis McCoy, their lead rapper or whoever, he's comparing women to cookies. Yeah. The entire song and how addicted to them he is. Um, and I don't even know if I think this is a good song, but I think I really like It's not. a commitment to concept here so i'm gonna just read verse two i got a thing for milano biscotti a commitment to concept here. Respect. So I'm going to just read verse two. italianos and i never turned down some oreos if you got them butter pecan puerto rican or them oatmeal raisin asians hazelnut brazilians macadamia caucasian yuck double stuffed or thin men it don't matter you get it um yeah that's pretty much it bye bye no commentary goodbye wait do the paul mccartney noise uh bye that's also that's kind of chance the rapper yeah anyway how does that how does that song hit you um women are also the pussy is a cookie uh yeah yeah so it's funny to then make the whole woman the cookie well unfortunately for a lot of men that's the way they think that the oh that the whole all they're thinking about is the pussy a.k.a. the cookie. So the woman is just the pussy, the cookie. Oh, man. You know what I'm talking about? I'm so fucked. Oh, he's also doing, he's doing, he's doing T-Pain. Yeah. He's doing T, that's so clearly like, talk to me, I talk back. Let me talk money, I talk back. Like, the dream's so clearly ripping that. This must have come out. Yeah, this came out like a year after Buy You a Drink. So he's, yeah, anyway. He is a girlfriend in this. And he's saying, I can't keep my hands out of the cookie jar. He said, I want to be faithful, but I can't keep my hands out of the cookie jar. The cookie jar is other bitches. Yeah. Oh, I was thinking, I can't keep my hand out of your pussy. Oh, I guess, no, but I get the dream saying I want to be faithful, but I can't keep my hand out of the cookie jar. I hear where you're coming from. I mean, yeah, I was like, I didn't like the image because I don't like thinking of my pussy as a jar. No, I can't imagine anyone does. Sort of like just wide and open. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not where you want to be. No, I would rather have like a tube, small tube, like a straw. Sure, shorty pussy like a straw. Not one of the metal or the glass, plastic ass. Plastic, you can't put her pussy in the ocean. It's going to strangle a seal. Yeah. Yeah, so I said all that stuff about gym class heroes and about how they were pretty formative for me. You found them really early. I did find them really early. I just want to be clear. It was several years before they started doing this type of stuff. Gym class heroes and The Dream were never supposed to find each other. And I fuck with The Dream heavy. I'm a big fan of The Dream. I think he's behind a lot of hits. The Dream had a song that was like, Shawty right there is a 10. Hey, a 10. Shawty is a 10. I don't know that song. You know that song? Falsetto. Ooh, ooh, baby. I love your girl. Just know, by the time the Gym Class Heroes was doing this stuff, I was really off the train, and I did not like really anything that was going on. I feel like they very much decided we're going pop, and we're going to get a couple hits, and that works, but at what cost? Because then you're making songs about, I can't keep my hands out of the pussy jar. Hey, it's cookie. It's cookie. That song sucks. But they could make a, if they were to make a comeback, I think people would be like, oh, that's fun. Sure, if they were to go on one of those, you know how they do tours now where it's like, oh, it's all your favorite bands from when you were like. Yeah, I think they could do that. Yeah, I could see that. I'd be like, oh, that's kind of fun. And the members of Gym Class Heroes, if you're listening and we know that you are, don't play this song when you do the tour. Leave this one off the track list. Do the sad boys shit from when I was 14. Thank you so much. - I feel like your version of "Dream Class Heroes" is like I was in a Passion Pit. And I went to Passion Pit concerts and stuff. - I was randomly upstated at a friend's house and her neighbor came by to the party and he told us that he's Passion Pit's manager and we exchanged info and he invited, and we went to go see a Passion Pit show. This is like- Recently? This is like two years ago. That would be really, really fun. It reminded me- Be in the heart, be in the heart. I really couldn't understand any of the lyrics. I couldn't understand what he was saying. There are none. Every song sounded like that to me. I couldn't understand it, but shout out Passion Pit. You seem like a nice person, and you remind me of when Barack Obama was in office. It was a happier time. Chloe Trost, thank you very much, Obama-era music.
