sure the phone's working. Thank you? Do we pay the bill? Okay?
All right, Gandhi? Three things? What's going on?

Speaker 1 (06:49):
All right?

Speaker 11 (06:49):
This is day three of a partial federal government shut down.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle continue to blame
each other, but Senate votes to resolve the standstill could
come before the end of the day. Meanwhile, President Trump
and the head of the Office of Management and Budget
Director are looking at which agencies they can make cuts from.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
During this shutdown.

Speaker 11 (07:09):
ICE agents have said that they'll be attending the Super Bowl.
Following the announcement that Puerto Rican's superstar Bad Bunny will
be performing at the halftime show, Department of Homeland Security
advisor Coreley and Lewandowski said Wednesday that there's nowhere that
you can provide safe haven to people in this country illegally.
Last month, Bad Bunny said he wouldn't perform in the
US on his upcoming world tour. Because of concerns over

(07:29):
ice raids at his concerts, and finally, a lawsuit over
Nirvana's nineteen ninety one album cover four never Mind has
been dismissed.

Speaker 4 (07:38):
We all know that cover, right.

Speaker 6 (07:39):
The little Baby?

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Yeah? Cool?

Speaker 2 (07:41):
Nay well.

Speaker 11 (07:42):
Spencer Elden, who was photographed as the naked baby on
the album's cover, filed the lawsuit, claiming that the image
was actually child pornography and his guardians didn't consent to
take the photo that was used. A federal judge disagreed
in a ruling this week, noting that Elden, who's now
in his thirties, has embraced and profited off the image
by signing memorabilia recreating that pose and referring to himself

(08:04):
as Nirvana Baby.

Speaker 6 (08:05):
Hell so no luck there, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Nirvana baby. I I could prop it off that with
my little wiener stick it down with it. Are you
guys ready for your Friday?

Speaker 10 (08:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (08:17):
Hi, this is Ariana.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
C, Elvis Sturm and The Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
I was talking to a friend about what we were
just talking about during the song. You know when you
buy a new house, what's the first thing you do? Well,
you change the locks of the doors? Yeah, yes, yes, yes,
toilet seats. I am toilet seats my first stop. Yeah,
so we got we have this house that we're buying,
and that's the only thing I can think about. I gotta,
you know, measure the toilets to make sure it's the

(09:10):
proper size. The toilet seats. They come in like two
or three different sizes, right frog.

Speaker 12 (09:16):
Oh absolutely, there's round, there's oblong, there's ones that have
the little hole in the front. There's some that are
cushing like Grandma's.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
I don't want. I don't want to. I don't want.
I don't want. I don't want any toilet seats made
out of material no, nothing.

Speaker 12 (09:29):
Absorbing understood that, Like, you don't want to sit there
any longer than you need to.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Why are you making it comfortable?

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (09:35):
No, I don't need that.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
I wait.

Speaker 6 (09:36):
They have sizes like if your butt's bigger, then you
can get a bigger the toilet.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
The toilets are different sizes, and so you have to
match the toilet. So some of them are round holes,
some of them are like oval oblong. I don't understand
the toilet seats that have the like the front's missing.
It's like it's like a big, big horseshoe.

Speaker 6 (09:54):
Yeah, is that.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Is it for people who are very well endowed?

Speaker 6 (10:00):
I wonder if it's just a money saving thing.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, you know, we don't know, we can we can
just assume anything. I don't know why. Yeah, why do
they have it? You know usually you know, in on
industrial toilets. So when we had the ones we have
here at High Heart, Yeah, those those have open front.

Speaker 11 (10:15):
Right, yes they do, and there's always something weird hanging
out in that little gap.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
What is that? Why is that gap there?

Speaker 6 (10:22):
Maybe it's cheaper.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
I don't think that's it now. I think there is
a reason. There's a reason why commercial or industrial toilet
seats don't have a full circle.

Speaker 11 (10:33):
Let's see, why are some toilets.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
You know what, aren't you glad you woke up and
turned us on this morning because this is our topic
of concern here we go that some.

Speaker 11 (10:41):
Toilet seats are U shaped because the open front design
is a hygienic requirement for public restrooms under the Uniform
Plumbing Code. It allows users to clean themselves without contacting
this seat and prevents contact between the genitals in the seat,
which helps avoid the spread of terms.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Huh, so your genitals are hanging hanging off the front.

Speaker 11 (11:00):
Yeah, I guess if you've got you know, like dips
like Scott.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
You know that reminds me of I pictured like the
meat hanging over the edge of a foot long from
the sea, the five dollar foot long meat hanging over
your five dollar foot loar.

Speaker 6 (11:15):
Wow, I guess it's well and down. We're helping. We
are helping people.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
Good God, all right, or some guy with elephant titus
or something. I don't know. I'm sorry I painted that picture.

Speaker 4 (11:27):
What it's regulation.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
It's regulation. So if you have the U shaped toilet seat,
it's the law. It's the law, all right. Sorry. I
gave you that visual, Froggy, the five dollar foot long.
With that said, it is Mean Girls October third, right, Yeah,
Mean Girl's Day. Explain everyone what that means.

Speaker 11 (11:47):
So in the movie, she's really trying to talk to
Aaron and she's desperately searching for a question to ask him,
and she says, do you know what date it is?

Speaker 6 (11:55):
It's October third?

Speaker 4 (11:56):
He says, it's October third.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Okay, there you go. Today Mean Girls Day. Yeah, and
of course Taylor Swift New album Day. We'll have her
on in about an hour and a half. We're gonna
catch up with her on the road. She better answer
that phone. We've been telling everyone she's gonna be on
the phone.

Speaker 6 (12:11):
If it's just like ringing and ringing.

Speaker 2 (12:13):

birthday with Asaf Rocky, Gwen Stefani, Tommy Lee, and Nev Campbell.
Happy birthday everybody, Libra. If you are feeling lonely, know
that sometimes the best company is your own.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
Take yourself on a mini date. Your day's an eight scorpio.

Speaker 13 (12:41):
Be careful with the money this week, because an impulse
blurge could leave you regretting it later.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
Your day's seven Sagittarius.

Speaker 11 (12:47):
Your self esteem is ready to level up, but you've
got to stop comparing yourself to people who aren't you.

Speaker 4 (12:52):
Your date isn't eight tay Capricorn.

Speaker 13 (12:53):
An unexpected invitation is coming, and saying yes could lead
to a story worth telling later.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
Your day's a ten Aquarium.

Speaker 11 (13:00):
A betrayal still hurts, but try not to let it
define how you see everyone else.

Speaker 13 (13:04):
Your day is a six Pisces. People around you are
not mind readers.

Speaker 4 (13:07):
You gotta say what you need out loud. Your day's
an eight aries.

Speaker 11 (13:10):
Joy is hiding in the small moments today, not the
grand ones, so look closer.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
Your days of five hey Taurus.

Speaker 13 (13:15):
You might feel paranoid about what people think, but remember
our most are too busy just thinking about themselves.

Speaker 4 (13:21):
Your days of nine Gemini.

Speaker 11 (13:22):
Curiosity will lead you into a new space, but don't
let that excitement blind you to the red flags. Your
day is a seven Cancer, Oh, do not trust every
smile today. Some people are hiding their true intentions behind kindness.

Speaker 4 (13:33):
Your day's a six Leo.

Speaker 11 (13:34):
The fear you're feeling isn't a signed to stop. It's
a sign that you're doing something that matters. Your day
is an eighth? Oh god, really is that? My fear matters?

Speaker 6 (13:42):
It matters.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
That's why I'm so frightened. Okay, back to.

Speaker 13 (13:45):
You and finally, my fellow vergos. Your fears about rejection
are making you hesitate, but the risk is smaller than
the regret would be. All right, your days of nine
and those are your Friday morning horoscopes.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Danielle, congratulations your Yankees did it last? How are you
feeling today?

Speaker 6 (14:01):
I I bem very tired because it was a very
late game, but I am so happy. I'm so happy.
Oh it was yeah, four, Yeah, it was good.

Next, eldest?

Speaker 15 (14:42):
Settling political disagreements with knives, guns, and beatings. Yeah, things
are stressful now, but guess what, it's nothing new. There

Speaker 2 (15:13):
You know, we sometimes have issues with our phone system here.
Can we make sure that works before we get Taylor
Swift on the phone?

Speaker 7 (15:19):
Please?

Speaker 6 (15:19):
Yeah, that'll be a idea.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Are any phone lunch ringing?

Speaker 17 (15:24):
No?

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Well, ok, when they do, let me know because sometimes
I don't ring because it doesn't work. Well, just whoever
calls will test it with them, Okay, all right, just
making sure making sure our little our little tubes are unclogged,
if you know what I'm saying. All right, So there's that.
It is the weekend. Danielle is all skippy because her
Yankees won last night.

Speaker 6 (15:45):
Yes, it was so amazing, Oh my gosh. And that's
like a big deal, right frog, isn't it? Like no
other team has come back from that from being back
like that.

Speaker 12 (15:53):
Well, it's happens, It's happened before. However, normally, the team
that loses game one, I think ninety percent of the
time are close to that they lose the series. The
Ganges came back and one to in row and they
shut them out last night, so it was a big win.

Speaker 6 (16:04):
It was awesome.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Okay, shut out, I hear the shutout. That's good, right, beautiful?
It was beautiful. Hey, we're getting ready for our late
night Bites, Beats and Suitees presented by Paris Baguette at
the New York City Winding Food Festival. I found out
yesterday us talking about it actually works. People are buying tickets.
People were coming to our party. Thank you, sweet Jesus.
Don't you hate telling the party no one shows up?

(16:27):
It could be the food from the best chefs in town.
These small plates, lots of them from different chefs, desserts, cocktails,
all included in the one price you paid to get in.
Plus we have karaoke on the stage. We've got sing
alongs going on. Lee Schrager has made me swear that
we're going to rehearse our opening number.

Speaker 7 (16:47):
I don't know what that is.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
I don't know he wants to do. I got you
babe from Sonny and Share and I'm taking I don't know,
I said, Lee, we need a song. This more of
a sing along. So we start and people start singing along.
They won't hear how bad we are because they'll be louder.
You know, That's that's the whole goal.

Speaker 11 (17:03):
Okay, me, I feel like would be really good for
the two of you. But I know it's kind of
a long song, way too long.

Speaker 13 (17:10):
You love it and people will sing along.

Speaker 4 (17:14):
For ten minutes.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
I see little suet to have a man to hear
the funding.

Speaker 7 (17:23):
Very very Friday.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
I gotta read the words. I forgot the words, all right?
Maybe not? It could be too involved. As you know,
Bmian Rhapsody has a lot of different movements within one song.
You know, we'll figure it out, but we want you there.
It's more than just karaoke. Don't think this is just
a karaoke night. It's a gathering with great feasting and cocktailing.

(17:48):
So happens we have a stage with the microphone. We
do have a contest going on the best karaoke singers
that night are in line to win. Some amazing prizes
have about a trip to Atlantis during our Wine and
Food festival there right.

Speaker 6 (18:00):
Which is amazing.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
We have a whole list. We have a whole list
of things. I'm gonna give them to you later. If
you want to buy your tickets, it's simple. Go to
Elvis Duran's show on Instagram and then I believe in
our stories whatever, you can link over and buy your tickets. Also,
there's ways to audition to get your golden ticket to
karaoke with us. It's gonna be a great night. It's Friday,
October seventeenth. It's a late night, late night bites nine
pm at excuse me Peer seventeen, in the middle of

(18:25):
all the action in New York City Wine and Food Festival.
It's right after the Burger Bash. We were thinking about
him going on stage at the Burger Bash next door saying, Hey,
when you're done here eating burgers, come next door, do
some karaoke, eat more food. And then I'm thinking, do
we want those people that smell like meat coming into our.

Speaker 6 (18:42):
Party meat sweats?

Speaker 4 (18:43):
Yeah, yes, yes, yeah.

Speaker 6 (18:46):
They're not going to be hungry though, because you know,
you remember after we judged the Burger Bash. Oh my gosh,
we made a missaink so late night bites for us.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah, we'll have a lot of food, a lot of food.
Daniel's gonna bring her tupperware. We're pretty sure that. Wait, uh,
Danielle time, I think it is. It is Daniel time.
All right, let me guess Tator Swift.

Speaker 6 (19:07):
Yes, So we're gonna start in Cleveland, where her man
Travis Kelsey is from. So Cleveland is doing something really
special for the Life of a show Girl. And I
think a lot of places are doing this and lighting
up their cities and stuff like this, but because he's
from there, it's extra special. Like the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame, Playhouse, Square, Rocket, Rocket Arena, Progressive Fields,

(19:28):
all places lit up with the beautiful Taylor colors orange
and teel from this album. So it's very, very exciting,
and I know it's going on. It's definitely going on
today again. I know it's starting.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Did you look at the first building last night?

Speaker 6 (19:40):
They did it last night here too, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
Orange, orange and teel.

Speaker 6 (19:43):
Yeah, I love it. So cool, so cool. So yesterday
in London, Taylor tape the Graham Norton Show. It's gonna
be seen on the BBC and BBC America or streamed
at AMC Plus.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
There.

Speaker 6 (19:54):
This was her first of several promotional interviews for the
Life of the Show Girl. Of course, she's gonna be
on with us very soon, and it is the first
time that she has publicly showed that ten Kara diamond
engagement ring from Travis Kelsey. A person in the studio
audience for Graham Norton was talking about how she is
telling everybody exactly how he proposed in the backyard of

(20:17):
the Kansas City home they share. She talks about the
fate of Ophelia, she talks about father figure, she talks
about a whole bunch of things which she will also
be doing on our show very very soon. And Graham
Norton revealed that Taylor baked him a loaf of sourdough
bread and he thanks her for the special gift. So
she really does make sour dough bread. Guys, it's not joke.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
Will oh No, I'm not doubting that at all.

Speaker 6 (20:39):
She loves baking.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
Let's ask her about the sourdough. We add that to
the We have the list of things we're gonna talk
to her about.

Speaker 7 (20:44):
Because you know she won't.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
She won't have that much time because she's got a
busy day. Yeah, so okay, ed sourdough bread very important.

Speaker 6 (20:49):
We got we got back and today Diddy will be
sentenced in Manhattan Federal Court. Now. The judge could sentence
him to a maximum of twenty years in federal bridge
in prison. The Probation Office was charged with making a
recommendation and reported six to seven years to be appropriate.
The defense and prosecution will state their case now. Diddy

(21:09):
will also address the court before sentencing. With the help
of his legal team, he submitted a four page letter
to the judge that said, I humbly ask for you
to give me another chance to be a better father,
to be a better son, to be a better leader
in my community, and another chance to live a better life.
So we will see what happens today. Did you guys

(21:30):
see what happened with Jojo Siwa at one of her
concerts in Glasgow. She stopped the concert because apparently somebody
was wearing a hoodie that had something offensive towards her
at her concert. I don't know exactly what it said,
so we don't know exactly what it said. All we
know is that she was like, no way, no man,

(21:51):
You're not gonna wear that here. We're not gonna make
fun of me at my own concert.

Speaker 7 (21:55):
And they asked me what it is.

Speaker 6 (21:57):
I'm trying to find it. I was googling it.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Don't tease me like that. I need to know what.
I need to know. What foul thing was written on
this switch.

Speaker 6 (22:04):
She didn't even see a picture of it. I was
trying to find a picture of it, so I know
I need to know.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
I need to We all need to know. We we
love reports of foul foul language. That's to see what concert.

Speaker 11 (22:14):
Yes, a fan in the audience was wearing her face
printed on a T shirt in the shape of an egg.

Speaker 6 (22:20):
Are you sure that's it?

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Okay? What else you got? I mean, I want to
buy one of these shirts.

Speaker 6 (22:25):
Sounds a lot worse when they were reporting it earlier,
so I don't know. Anyway, What are we watching? If
you guys want to watch a really cool horror movie?
For twenty twenty five, Rotten Tomatoes is giving you the
best Sinners, The Ugly Stepsister, Weapons Companion and The Long Walk.

It was upsetting it.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
I'm like you, I've had two dates.

Speaker 4 (23:21):
Run for your life.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
Oh god, I'm hearing that. I just got really nervous
my palm dress wedding. It's October third, and I once again,
how many years in a row on October third? I
have no idea what I'm wearing for Halloween? Nothing nothing.

Speaker 6 (23:39):
You have time time, I lay this out.

Speaker 7 (23:42):
We every year.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
You always say it's okay, Elvis, You've got time, You'll
figure this out, and I never do. I wait till
the last minute. And I always borrow a banana costume
from your husband.

Speaker 6 (23:50):
That is a very popular banana.

Speaker 11 (23:52):
I have to say, well, Elvis, are you doing like
traditional Halloween or are you gonna do gay Halloween?

Speaker 2 (23:57):
I don't know. Well, okay, well gay Halloween takes a
lot more out for you know that.

Speaker 11 (24:00):
Yeah, it's so funny day Halloween is my favorite part
of Halloween.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
I think I still have my big white feather wings
from Lactadia, the Queen of Lactose Intolerance.

Speaker 6 (24:09):
Okay, were that membery You couldn't move around. You had
to go sideways everywhere because they're so big.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
I need wider doorways. I don't know, uh scary. What
is your idea for Halloween?

Speaker 9 (24:18):
Well, for you, Elvis, I mean I think you should
do the obvious and lean into the Taylor Swift album
cover The Life of a Showgirl.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
Why don't you try that? Did you see what she's wearing?
I'd love to.

Speaker 6 (24:31):
See you when that come on show Girl?

Speaker 2 (24:34):
Hello there it is the life of a blob. I
can't wear that. You kidd me.

Speaker 17 (24:40):
You wore the.

Speaker 6 (24:41):
Wonder Woman costume, remember, I mean you look good in that?

Speaker 2 (24:44):
I did. I really walked well in that too, in
those boots anyway, heels se I mastered the heels, no problem, Gay,
Halloween may be it for me? What about you? Gandhi?
He thought it through?

Speaker 6 (24:52):
I haven't.

Speaker 11 (24:53):
I am terrible about this. I actually come up with
something like the week before. But I'm brainstorming.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
I'm brainstorm Well, Halloween is on a Friday this year.

Speaker 6 (25:00):
Yes, how exciting. It's gonna be no weekends.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
No, that makes me mad. That means uh, that means
we have to wear costumes to work. Yeah, if it's
on a Sunday, O, fine, we can get away with it.

Speaker 11 (25:14):
What's an easy costume? Because one time I did an
inflatable and that was not easy. In here, I was
sliding out of the channel.

Speaker 18 (25:19):
Whole morning ghost.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
Easy.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
You have the sheet over the head, the old gray
t one eyed ghost. I can do that. I don't know. Okay,
so we got that going for us. Oh, by the way,
we have jingle Ball going on for us, as you know,
thanks to Capital One, we've got another jingle ball season
here at iHeartRadio. The three jingle balls that matter, the

(25:43):
only three that matter are Z one hundred New York,
Q one O two Philadelphia, Why one hundred point seven Miami.
These are the three. This is the trifecta. These are
the three concerts that you need to see. And I
suggest seeing all three. I know I am. I'm gonna
be front center, don't even have seats. I'm gonna show
up and just stand there on the side, sit on

(26:04):
the side. I will sit on your lap. Congratulations, you
call it one hundred. I'm sitting on your lap. Those
tickets for the general public go on sale at noon
East Coast time today. For all the info and how
to get tickets for one or all three of those
above jingle Ball concerts, go to iHeartRadio slash jingle iHeartRadio
dot com slash jingle Ball and get popping because they

(26:26):
will sell out. Absolutely so excited for this year's concerts. Yeah,
all three of them. So there's that.

Speaker 11 (26:33):
Are you prepared to field all the questions of people
trying to get tickets from you? I've come up with
my excuses.

Speaker 19 (26:37):
Oh really, yeah, tell you what they are, Okay, But
I've come up with why not, because then the people
who ask me for tickets are gonna know what I'm saying,
and they're gonna be like, well, that's not true.

Speaker 4 (26:48):
You told me it was an excuse.

Speaker 6 (26:49):
On the air. But I'll text you guys.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
I just tell them the truth. I don't have tickets
because I don't. You know, back in the old days
we had their at iHeart they go, oh, you know,
we're having a jingle Ball concert. Excuse me, here's fifty
thousand tickets them to your friends.

Speaker 6 (27:01):
Don't you remember we used to sit in a room
and we'd allot them to like people we knew that
maybe we had to take care of that were really
nice to us. We don't have that anymore.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
Those days are done, and that's okay.

Speaker 7 (27:12):
You know.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
I like not having the pressure of having tickets to
give away to my friends. But first of all, I
have no friends, which is great. I've whittled that down
to a list of zero. So now it's like, no,
don't have to worry about it. But it is going
to be the amazing, amazing jingle Ball season. We could
not be more proud of our three concerts that matter
New York, Philadelphia, Miami. Thank you very much. I say,

(27:35):
see all three, yeah, because they are unique, they have
things in common, and they do have unique artists that
you cannot see at the other two. What's that, Gandhi?

Speaker 11 (27:43):
Well, we also need to start planning our outfits for
jingle Ball because we try to coordinate for you, well,
Danielle and I try to coordinate around you.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
Usually when you guys wear pajamas, I'm not care.

Speaker 6 (27:53):
Well, that's only one one scary?

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Are you worrying pajama? Should wear pajamas like the girls?
I don't know.

Speaker 9 (28:00):
You don't look as good as pajamas as the girls do. Options.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
No, no, we'll be wearing things.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Well.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
No, I'm fine now, don't worry about my outfit. You
just do you you do you boo?

Speaker 11 (28:10):
No, we always do about your outfit because we don't
have to slash.

Speaker 20 (28:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (28:13):
We try to do like a Destiny's child thing around
it like lord.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
Yeah again, it's iHeartRadio dot Com slash jingle ball tickets
going tail at noon today. Start thinking about how you're
gonna grab it.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
Elvis Duran, clap if you think she should tougher.

Speaker 16 (28:32):
Elis Duran in the Morning Show, Elvis Duran and the
Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
All right, so we're counting down Taylor Swift. We're going
to catch up with her on the road on the phone.
Let's make sure all phones are working. That's happening in
about fifty minutes, maybe forty minutes. Actually, am I counting wrong?
You know I can't count anymore. I'm too old account
for forty minutes. Forty minutes? Okay, if we are, This
album is great. We've been sitting with it here on

(28:59):
the show list, listening to it in the behind the scenes,
and some great stuff on here. We want to talk
to her about some of these songs, how she wrote
and recorded while she's on tour and baking sourdough bread
and go into football games. I don't get it.

Speaker 6 (29:12):
I do it all.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
So let's talk about the human mind, shall we? We
all have one, some of us more or less than others. Right, yeah,
if the functioning of the human brain, the human brain,
you know, where would we be without it? Let's think
it through people. I mean, because of the brain, we
do things that we don't even control, like heartbeats, breathing, seeing,

(29:35):
things like that. But we also have things that we
wish we could control but we can't, including the mind,
our personality, our intelligence. So there's a magazine or a
journal actually called Intelligence. They're talking about the human mind
and what happens as we age. So if this doesn't
apply to you as you're aging, it applies to someone

(29:56):
in your life, maybe your parents, or your close friends,
or someone you work with that's a good friend who
is approaching the age of sixty and going beyond yours truly,
right in that Wheelhouse. So let's talk about it. They
say that after psychological research for many decades, there's patterns
going on here. The functioning of the human brain reaches

(30:17):
its peak between the ages of fifty five and sixty.
So think of that person, if not you, someone in
your life that's right in that that five year span. Okay,
fifty five to sixty And this is on average, this
is not everyone. Okay. So there's different types of intelligence.
We were talking about this fascinating. There's fluid intelligence, which

(30:39):
is reasoning, like your memory, how far back you can
remember things and how fast you can process things in
your mind Already there like memories, that team seems to
peak in your early twenties and then it starts fading.

Speaker 6 (30:52):
Oh wow.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
So the saying when you're in your early twenties your
memory is boom, it's there, and how you process things
you've seen and experienced boom while it recalls immediately without hesitation.
But just like a phone that's bogged down and losing
its memory, the mind is the same thing. It takes
a little longer to pull up a certain app or
two on your phone. The older you get, your brain

(31:15):
acts the same way. Is that probably a good way
to describe it, Gandhi, I think so.

Speaker 11 (31:18):
I also think you know, the older you get, the
more memories you have. So when you're forty, you have
twice the lifespan that you had when you were twenty.
So of course it's going to take longer for you
to pull up that file than it was when you
were twenty years old.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
I guess it's safe to say the more photos you
have in your phone, the slower your your apps are
gonna work.

Speaker 6 (31:36):
Okay, what is the reason that there's certain memories that
you can recall so vividly still, but then other ones
you have no freakin idea?

Speaker 2 (31:45):
Don't know. I don't know. We can assume, I don't know.
Maybe maybe it was such a powerful event that happened
when the memory was formed. I guess that it affected
you emotionally in a someta way. It affected you in
more than just something to remember. It affected the way
you thought and you felt, and it resonated with you

(32:05):
for several days, maybe like something tragic or something really
fun that happened. Maybe it has a deeper filing file
in there.

Speaker 8 (32:13):
I don't know.

Speaker 11 (32:15):
Maybe maybe I mean they also say that memories aren't
stored equally in the brain. So depending on what mood
you were in when that thing was happening. If you
were stressed out, you're more likely to forget something. If
you were in a really happy, receptive place, you're more
likely to remember something.

Speaker 6 (32:27):
Yeah, so I think that all that goes into it.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
God, you know what, you just hit a button with me,
both of you. I was like, Okay, what's a great memory?
I probably am. I'm not recalling that I should because
it was such a great moment. Then you can't recall
it because it's gone. You can't remember what you don't remember.

Speaker 6 (32:45):
So I love when I recall something much differently than
like my say, my husband, and he'll go, but wait,
that's not how it happened. I'm like, yeah, that's how
I remember it. Like that's.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
So.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
Add that to the whole list of reasons why you
will or will not remember things, right. It's different sets
of eyes, all right. So that's fluid intelligence. It peaks
in your early twenties and then it fades steadily. Crystallized intelligence.
I love this one. No matter how old you get,
they say, you still accumulate knowledge and experience. You build
that for decades you're good. So as you get older

(33:19):
and older and maybe things in the brain are slowing
down your experiences in life, they still build that knowledge
you learning new things. That's why Gandhi and a lot
of scientists tell you always be learning, no matter how
young or old you are. Learn new things right.

Speaker 6 (33:36):
Absolutely.

Speaker 11 (33:37):
I think so many people just stop when they leave school,
and you're like, no, no, no, that's a way for
you to just atrophy.

Speaker 4 (33:42):
There's so much out there to keep learning.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
We're so fast to roll into our professional lives and
just Okay, I worked all day nine to five, I'm home,
I'm ready to relax and not do anything. Well, that's
not good. Personality traits. They mature and increase through early
adulthood and then they level off later in life. If
your personality traits like your emotional stability, ability to keep

(34:05):
calm under stress, you know those are learned things. Sometimes,
you know you get under stressful situations, you know you
can think it through and go okay, I can deal
in reason with this. And when there's when you're older,
not as easy.

Speaker 6 (34:19):
They're saying, Okay, I think it's the opposite. Sometimes. I
think that things that stressed you out when you were
a little bit younger. Don't stress you out as much
as you get older, because you realize that maybe life
is short and there's no need to stress over some
stupid stuff.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (34:35):
Yeah, I don't know if this is exactly I think
that that hits on this, This hits on that.

Speaker 17 (34:39):
You know.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
That's kind of funny about all these different personality traits.
They kind of melt into each other a little bit.
Moral reasoning, the ability to weigh competing principles that deepens
with your experience in your life, producing sounder judgments about
fairness and duty. That continues, as I'm reading this, to
increase and get better for you, hopefully as you age.

Speaker 11 (35:02):
Do you feel like that applies to you, Like, do
you think that as you have grown up you feel
like you have more morals and that you implement a
more you know, moralistic lifestyle.

Speaker 4 (35:13):
I guess.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
I believe that. I believe that all the morals that
I was wired with and I learned as a child
from my parents and my surroundings, I still hang on
to those, But I do think they're deeply more deeply
ingrained with me. Yeah, yeah, no, Yeah.

Speaker 11 (35:31):
I get torn because there's some stuff. You know, my
parents they beat it into my head, this is this
is the way it is. And then there's and I
carry that with me. But then as you grow up
and you look at the world around you, and maybe
you notice a bunch of other people not following the
same thing, sometimes it makes you think, huh, should I
Should I keep living this way if nobody else is?
Am I putting myself at a disadvantage? I always wonder

(35:52):
about that stuff.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
I don't know though, the ability to weigh competing principles
producing sounder judgments with fairness and duty. As you eight,
I can see that could be a conflict as well.
Foggy was shaking his head.

Speaker 12 (36:04):
No, that's because because there are certain things that I
know that we're instilled. For example, when I lived in
North Carolina when I was a young kid, there were
things there that were totally different when I moved to Florida,
and then you learn a different way, and you learn
a different people do things differently in different parts of
the country. Yeah, and so I believe that that's another
reason that going other places and seeing other ways that

(36:24):
things are done and meeting people from different cultures is
so important because it teaches you different than just the
little place that you lived. It feels like your whole life,
but yet there's so much more out there.

Speaker 6 (36:35):
You got to be open minded about it too, because
so many people are closed minded and they think like, Nope, my.

Speaker 12 (36:40):
Way I've always done I've always done it this way.
Well maybe that's not the right way.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
Right.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
Here's one they hit on that definitely, they say, anyway
phage with age. Cognitive flexibility. That's the ability to the
ability to shift smoothly between tasks and strategies when circulstances change.
And then there's the cognitive empathy. Cognitive empathy the ability

(37:06):
to get what others are thinking. Okay, so how many
times have you been hanging out with your parents, your grandparents,
or me? And oh, one of that Elvis, he is
set in his ways. Even though you throw a whole
different world of possibilities in front of me, I'm still
going to do it that same way that I'm accustomed
to doing, and I don't grow with it. The brain
as you age does not allow you or promote these

(37:31):
things to change and to bend right one hundred percent.

Speaker 11 (37:34):
That's when my dad's out here calling Apple for help.
I'm like, why are you calling? You can google it,
you can look up so many different things. But he's
so hardwired to have called somebody and talk to a
human that it's so hard for him to just adjust
to a new way. I don't think older people are
unable to do things.

Speaker 4 (37:50):
I think they're unwilling.

Speaker 6 (37:51):
Oh my gosh, one hundred percent. I have this conversation
with my mom all the time, because my mom is
very smart. She's seventy six. She you know, she's out
there in the world doing more things than I do.
She's just so damn stubborn. Like I'll say to her, Mom,
I showed you five times how to return on Amazon,
and she's like, Danny, I don't remember. She's full of craps.

(38:14):
She played the damsel in distress all exactly. She knows
I'm going to do it for her.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
You know, Uncle Johnny did the same thing in his
late last year. Ye he could easily do these things
for himself, or at least figure out how to through logic,
fix them, and he wouldn't do it. He had to
have someone come over and do it. And we just
wrote that off as him just being lonely, and he
wants people to come over and fixes his vacuum cleaner
or whatever, right, Scotty. But you know the mind does that. Okay,

(38:41):
So inclosing on this article, anyway, throughout middle age, the
gains more than offset the losses. As you get older,
you are gaining knowledge, you are gaining experiences, and that
outweighs your ability to be as speedy as you used
to be. The late fifties emerge as the sweet spot.
That's the point when hard won wisdom compensates for dwindling speed.

(39:05):
But it's downhill from there. So there you go, so
knowing that, you know, being in my sixties and anyone
in your life who's approaching the sixties in that sixty mark,
let them know. You need to be out there learning
things your life. You may not be able to run
as fast, and you know it may take an extra
second to stand up way for sitting on the floor.

(39:26):
Does it keep you from out there learning because your
mind is still making space for new feelings, new things
that will always be with you in your heart, and
of course being with friends, and being with friends and
letting them titillate your brain. You know, yeah, scary.

Speaker 7 (39:42):
I feel like the more I learn, the more I forget.

Speaker 9 (39:45):
I can't remember current things, but then I have these
crystallized versions of things that I that I did years ago,
and I'm like, I keep accessing all this stuff from
all the back then, but what about now? I'm learning
so much every single day, But then I'm like, oh,
I can't I can't remember that.

Speaker 6 (40:00):
Isn't that a thing with Alzheimer's, though, Elvis, because I remember, well,
I didn't.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Want to say. I didn't want to. I didn't want
to go to tell Scary he has dementia.

Speaker 6 (40:07):
Or go ahead, sorry, but I'm just saying, like, I
remember my grandmother, like not remembering anything now, but she
would tell me stories of things that happened twenty twenty
five years ago, saying with my mom, she knew them
like they were, you know, right in front of her.
It's crazy.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
It's a short term memory thing. Yeah, my mom could
she could, as I've told you, she could actually recite Chaucer.
Oh wow, wow, I mean tons of Chaucer. She could
recite it. But she couldn't tell you what she had
for lunch ten minutes ago. So that's the short term everything. Scary,
We're not diagnosing you as dementia.

Speaker 7 (40:45):
At all.

Speaker 11 (40:46):
I think, well, this two has to do with you know, like,
obviously we can do everything we can do, and you're
all the things you're talking about, Elvis are with a
healthy functioning brain. But when you also add into it
what we're doing to ourselves as we get older, and
just with the climbing around us, you're not and you're
consuming a ton of sugar. Those things directly impact your
mind and your ability to absorb and retain things also,

(41:07):
so maybe scary some things.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
Yeah, yeah, a little cardio wouldn't hurt as scary cardio.

Speaker 6 (41:14):
This shots of candy.

Speaker 4 (41:15):
I don't know if that's great for them.

Speaker 7 (41:16):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
Yeah, Froggy, what's up?

Speaker 12 (41:19):
You know, I'm in my last month of my forties now,
and I realized that I can remember lyrics to a
rap song from like nineteen eighty four, no problems. But
I can get up to go to the kitchen and
forget what the hell I was going to get well
four seconds ago.

Speaker 2 (41:33):
Explain that to me, Well, it's sort of earlier when
we were talking. People in their early twenties or at
the peak their minds are at peak form as far
as learning new things. That's why if you want to
teach someone a new language, do it when they're at
seven years old? Yeah? Right, Because when I tried to
brush up on my my Italian, I met Itaian, my

(41:55):
Italian before I go, you know, Italy. Whatever, it's more
difficult for me, and I recognize it. I see it
clearly because I remember, you know, twenty thirty years ago,
when I started going to Italy, I could, I could
be ready to get off the plane and have conversations.
I can't do that anymore. It takes more time. So
maybe that's why you know.

Speaker 12 (42:11):
It's hard to watch it with your parents. Like I'll
go to my parents' house and help my dad do something,
and I'll and he'll say, to be handing your help,
and so I help him, and then I look over
and he's got a tear running down his face. I'm like,
what's wrong. He's like I used to be able to
do this on my own. I feel terrible for him.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
Well, and I'll say something, and you can actually have
this conversation with your parents, maybe depending on where their
brain is and where how they're doing. There are moments
in every day of mine. I'll try to recall something
that I know. I know I just can't recall it,
you know. And you know, I've talked to many doctors
about it, and they're like, look, you know, this happens
as you age. It will happen faster with some people.

(42:49):
Maybe you doesn't mean it, doesn't mean it's curtains, doesn't
mean that at all. But this is naturally what the
brain does. And if you're listening to us right now
in your twenties and thirties, you're like, I don't understand.
I can't even relate to this conversation. Well you will
one day, but you can today. If you think about
the people in your life that are in their sixties
and seventies or maybe more, and you wonder why they're

(43:10):
a little slow in recalling things. The memories are all there,
your brain has them. It's the recalling of these things
which is the struggle. Yeah, and so that's where we are.

Speaker 11 (43:21):
I think part of the recall too, and just the
memory making in general also gets really impacted by the
scrolling constantly, the streaming constantly, and the short form videos
like we've talked about this not too long ago, but
scientists and researchers are saying that impacts your brain five
times more than anything else that you're doing. So by
us constantly consuming this nonsense, we're also hurting our memory.

Speaker 4 (43:42):
So put it down.

Speaker 2 (43:43):
Read a book, all right, read a book. Do some cardio, Scary,
let's do some cardio today. We can read books while
doing cardio. We can unwillingly. I'm not getting on that rower.

Okay for the fifth hundred times. While I had your car,
I got bombarded by call from your telemarkers at all
hours of the day and night, in Spanish and in English,

I have a certain name that they can put me
in a category that they feel like it. I'm against

people not using the proper work etiquette. Okay, if someone
calls me, don't call me by my first name. Called
me mister so and so. You don't know me socially,

Taylor Swift's album is back. We caught up with her
on the road. She's on the phone Taylor.

Speaker 23 (52:27):
Oh hi, oh.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
Hello, Look who had time in the busiest day of
the year to give us a phone Callay? How are you?

Speaker 3 (52:37):
I'm so good. I'm so excited for this record. I'm
still very like uncomplicated joy about it.

Speaker 1 (52:43):
You know.

Speaker 2 (52:44):
Well, I have to tell you I sat in a
room full of adults and watch them cry while listening
to some of these tracks. I want to go over
these with you because I loved it too.

Speaker 20 (52:53):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (52:53):
Really, this is going to be something special when everyone
gets a hold of it. And it looks like everyone
is going to get a hold of it.

Speaker 3 (53:00):
I'm so happy. I'm really happy to hear that. It's
so nice to have feedback from this. It's like it's
been such a secret for.

Speaker 18 (53:05):
Such a long time.

Speaker 2 (53:07):
We let's talk about that. Tell me the story now.
On the most crazy two year tour and you're going
to football games and you're baking sourdough bread and you
were writing, producing, and recording an album at the same time,
tell me the story of how that happened. It didn't

(53:28):
drive you a little nuts?

Speaker 3 (53:31):
Well, it was actually kind of the opposite of going nuts,
because I think if I hadn't started to create a
process of making this album while I was on tour.

Speaker 18 (53:39):
I think I was way more.

Speaker 3 (53:42):
Exhausted than I was, because like this album started to
happen in the European leg of the Eras tour, like
last summer.

Speaker 18 (53:55):
And.

Speaker 3 (53:57):
It was during a time in the tour I.

Speaker 23 (53:58):
Was so physically exhaust did that that like my.

Speaker 3 (54:02):
Feet were sore, my legs were sore, my hits, my neck,
my back, everything was like in pain all the time.

Speaker 23 (54:10):
And it was also like almost two.

Speaker 3 (54:12):
Years into the tour, so I was starting to get
muscle memory. I was starting to be able to do
the show without thinking about it. So I knew I
needed to like stimulate my brain and my creativity and
like figure out a way to like be excited every day.
And so I would do three shows, I'd fly to
Sweden and record, do three more shows, fly back to Sweden.
And it was actually that stimulation of the creative process

(54:35):
of making this record that made me finish out that
tour without like without ever like hitting a wall.

Speaker 2 (54:41):
You know, look at all those Sweden stamped in that past.

Speaker 18 (54:46):
Oh yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
I don't even know where to start here. I'll start
with the crying in the room, and I'm going to
play it in a minute, The Fate of Ophelia. Of
course I got add to the list of things you
were doing. You were restudying Hamlet again, so I will.

Speaker 18 (55:00):
Get But hey, you know that story never leaves you.

Speaker 2 (55:06):
There's just something about the way the music sonically hits
the words and it really kind of it grabs you
by the heart. It's beautiful. We're gonna play that in
just a second.

Speaker 3 (55:13):
Oh, I'm so happy you like that one. That one,
just like as soon as we wrote it, I have
a feeling it would be the one that we would
go with first, and the one I'd get to make
a music video for because it's just so visual and
also just like so infectious.

Speaker 6 (55:27):
I love it. And I want to talk about your
Easter eggs. Like so many of your fans, you know,
hear these Easter eggs or see these Easter eggs. Are
they really always there? Or is there times where you go, yeah,
that's not really a hint, that's not really an Easter egg.

Speaker 18 (55:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (55:44):
There are definitely some theories that are based in absolutely
nothing close to reality, but you know what, like there
are some that are so fun when they figure about
Like like just yesterday, somebody figured out that if you
line up the titles of all the tracks of this
album in order and you line them up in the

(56:06):
center of the frame, the shape of the track list
makes the same shape as the era's tour stage.

Speaker 6 (56:15):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (56:16):
So that was a real one. That was one that
it took a while for them to discover and then
finally they figured it out and it was really fun.
But then there's somewhere like people thought that somehow sourdough
bread was a part of the whole thing, when actually
that's I bake.

Speaker 18 (56:32):
I love baking.

Speaker 23 (56:33):
It's completely aside.

Speaker 18 (56:34):
From my music. It's just a hobby.

Speaker 3 (56:36):
I'm obsess to it.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
There's a track on this album about sourdough. I know
there is.

Speaker 3 (56:41):
I know there's not, there's not. But yeah, it's been
really funny to like to have people care.

Speaker 18 (56:48):
That much, you know, because.

Speaker 3 (56:50):
Ultimately easter Heads are always leading towards more art. They're
leading toward lyrics or art that's coming in the future.
So I wouldn't be able to do that if the fans
didn't care so much about the music itself, which I'm
very honored by.

Speaker 11 (57:04):
So we always say that your albums are really like
a diary and then you just open it up and
you share your diary with the world. And you've done
this twelve times, so twelve different diaries. But in doing it,
are there lyrics that you can think of right now
that were just incredibly difficult for you to write and
then open up and share with people.

Speaker 3 (57:23):
Not really, I don't really operate that way, Like my
music is a way of like it's the part of Critharsis,
Like there will be times where I'll write the most
gut wrenching so on the torment and heartbreak, and then
as soon as I'm done writing it, I'm done with
that emotion. Like it's almost been a way of just
sort of like you say the thing.

Speaker 18 (57:43):
And then you can move on from the thing.

Speaker 3 (57:47):
But I just have like kind of learned as kind
that's gone by to sort of deal with writing in
terms of from the character or story, arts or fiction
or in this record, like there's a song called Elizabeth.

Speaker 23 (58:00):
Taylor, which is sort of like my emotions and.

Speaker 3 (58:03):
My issues with same through the lens of cause playing
the life of Elizabeth.

Speaker 23 (58:07):
Taylor, so you kind of meld the two experiences.

Speaker 3 (58:10):
Together because she's always someone that I've looked up to
as being this very very glamorous, very beloved, but for
some reason a polarizing figure, which I've found myself in
that place too.

Speaker 23 (58:21):
So it's been really fun, right, Yeah, I love writing.

Speaker 2 (58:24):
Well Elizabeth Taylor. Elizabeth Taylor. I've always been a massive
fan because I guess it's the you know, the old
gay thing. But uh, I mean, she would just navigate
through life just looking flawless at all times. But you know,
as soon as the door closed, she was throwing.

Speaker 18 (58:38):
She was funny.

Speaker 2 (58:39):
She was hilarious, but she was funny.

Speaker 3 (58:41):
And I think she's just a fabulous role model and
like person that I hope my fans will look her
up and see how much she went through and how
she was making her best art, like even at the
midst of people's outrage over something in her life, like
she continued being the top of her game in terms

(59:01):
of her artistic output.

Speaker 2 (59:03):
Well good. I mean, a whole new audience needs to
learn a lot more about Elizabeth Taylor. And so I
was listening to the song, I was thinking, this is
definitely an homage to her, but it's actually an homage
to yourself as well, and I love that. And also
opal light talking the experiences talk about opal Light. Is
that Is that the one that has the lyric It's
my favorite lyric on the album. You're dancing through the
Lightning strikes? Is that that's from the song?

Speaker 3 (59:24):
Yeah, I'm glad you liked that one. That's one of
my favorite.

Speaker 23 (59:29):
Songs on the record.

Speaker 2 (59:31):
But you can actually see choreography, you can see someone
dancing through the lightning strikes. What a powerful line that is.
Love that And also it's about it's about.

Speaker 3 (59:40):
Choosing happiness in your own life. You know, like Opal
Light isn't is a man made opal It's just like
you know how they have man made diamonds now like,
and so I love that sort of reference and metaphor.

Speaker 23 (59:54):
Between making your own.

Speaker 3 (59:58):
Like gemstone and then manufacturing your own happiness even when
things aren't going your way.

Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
Also, if you're a size queen, Father Figure is an
ice selection.

Speaker 23 (01:00:10):
Of father figures a great I love that one. I
love that one.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
No one's going to ask you who that's about, but
it's sure is applaicable to all of our lives.

Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
It's a song, it's a song about power, and it's
a it's got a really good metaphor about the way
that men move through the world. In a sense of power,
and it's kind of like you kind of can't tell
if I'm singing from the perspective of the engenou or
of the father figure mentor character, and that's by design.

Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
Wow, awesome, you know.

Speaker 7 (01:00:43):
Go ahead.

Speaker 11 (01:00:44):
You mentioned earlier you just talked about making your own happiness,
and when we started this call, you said that you're
feeling uncomplicated joy.

Speaker 4 (01:00:51):
What to you is complicated joy?

Speaker 11 (01:00:53):
Because that made me really think about, huh, what does
that mean?

Speaker 2 (01:00:56):
I think I want some of that.

Speaker 3 (01:00:58):
That's a good question. Complicated joy around a record release
is when you wrote the album a year ago, when
you were in a very different place emotionally than you are.

Speaker 18 (01:01:07):
When you wrote it.

Speaker 3 (01:01:08):
Let's say you wrote a heartbreak album and now you're
very happy, or let's say you wrote a happy album
and now you're very heartbroken, like or any kind of
variation on that. When you feel that you're in a
different place and now you're putting out art that you're
proud of but you don't relate to anymore. I really
related to this record because I'm in the same exact

(01:01:29):
place as I was when I wrote it.

Speaker 6 (01:01:31):
I love that.

Speaker 17 (01:01:31):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:01:32):
We're about to play the Fate of Ophelia, the one
that makes people in the rim crass. But first, before
you have one more second to talk about life of
a Showgirl. I mean this this track, I'm trying to
figure out where it's from. I mean, it's is it
is it so simple? It is exactly what it is.
You out there on the road doing your thing. Talk
to me about that.

Speaker 3 (01:01:53):
The song the Life of a show Girls, the song
that I did with Sabrina Carpenter, because it's about it's
a story about meeting one of your idols and telling
them you want to do this too, you want to
follow those footsteps. And I think a lot of people
in the entertainment industry have had this happen. Your idol
warns you not to do it, not to follow in

(01:02:15):
their footsteps because of how hard this industry is. And
it's about taking that advice and completely disregarding it and
doing it anyway.

Speaker 23 (01:02:25):
And I wanted the brain it to be the person who.

Speaker 3 (01:02:26):
Did a duet with me on it, because I just
think she's so smartd and like cut out for this
job if you want to call it a job, it's
really a all encompassing life path.

Speaker 18 (01:02:39):
And I think she's like.

Speaker 3 (01:02:42):
Just so brilliant and tough in a way. She's very
sensitive in terms of being an artist, which she can
handle herself. So I just thought that she would be
kind of a great person to collaborate with on that
song in particular. And it's the last song on the record,
so it really ends out the story of the album.

Speaker 6 (01:03:00):
This is what you do, Elvis. If someone wants to
be in radio, you tell him run the.

Speaker 2 (01:03:03):
Other run, run for your life. Live to tell others
the life of a showgirl. It's out today. There's so
many great stories and you were the best storyteller. Let
me give you the fatal ophilia. Congratulations Taylor, thanks for
being on with us today.

Speaker 5 (01:04:13):
Elvis, duran and the Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (01:04:23):
Wow, so many people are checking in that heard the
conversation with Taylor Swift. Hey, apologies for that bad phone line.
This is one of those things tone lines happening present
to us here in the year twenty twenty five. She
was not on another planet. She was actually somewhere, traveling
between England and here and there and everywhere. I wonder

(01:04:44):
if Taylor Swift's passport is five hundred pages thick.

Speaker 6 (01:04:48):
Oh, I bet it is.

Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
For I mean, I mean, they only let you have
so many pages in that thing. They let you get
larger passports. But she's been going around the world for
over two years. You know it at least when she's
you know, in the EU. She you know, it's all
in the EU. You don't have to you don't have
to passport everywhere there. I don't think if you're between countries, right,
I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (01:05:08):
I know.

Speaker 3 (01:05:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:05:10):
I don't think so.

Speaker 11 (01:05:10):
So when I just did London and Portugal, I did,
but I think that's because London left the EU.

Speaker 2 (01:05:15):
Yeah, London, I don't know, but I bet she has
a big fat one, if you know what I'm saying.
Passport Wise the album, a lot of people are still
just now waking up and listening to some of the cuts.
We're gonna hear a little sample of a few of
them in a second with Sound and Garrett. Also yesterday
there was a moment where I swear to god, Scary
farted right on me. We'll get to that in the moment.

(01:05:35):
It's a very busy day, very busy go how do
we keep up with all of this? Hey? Any thoughts,
debriefing anyway? After speaking with Taylor, any anything you want
to talk about? What'd you get out of that? Anything good?

Speaker 11 (01:05:50):
I am very excited for the fans that are just
so rabid and so into this. Like I was looking
at some of the text messages and any conversation with
her just seems like it moves them so much. There
are tears. They're talking about mothers here, Oh my god.
And that makes me happy. Other people's joy is nice.

Speaker 2 (01:06:05):
Yeah, very happy. What about you, Danielle.

Speaker 6 (01:06:07):
Yeah, And I like the fact that so many places
embraced the album released, like just like the targets and
like you know, then light shows in New York City
and all over the place. Cleveland did a lot of
special things. It's just nice. People were really people know
how much the fans love her, and so they feed

(01:06:27):
into it and they really do special things. And I
think that's really nice.

Speaker 2 (01:06:32):
Well, you know, on that note, we're part of it too.
I mean it seems to be a catching things. It's
very very of the moment. It's a headline, and you know,
I'm glad we could be a part of it.

Speaker 7 (01:06:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:06:42):
Oh you know my favorite part of all this. We
were the only station in North America to get her.
Yay for us, Yay for us.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
There you go. It was on a mangled up phone line,
but it worked.

Speaker 11 (01:06:56):
No, I know, like people were so excited that other
radio stations have reached out to me to see if
they can use pieces of the audio for their show
because she only did our show.

Speaker 2 (01:07:03):
So well, from now on, if ever anyone runs that
soundback on their shows, well no, it's ours, because it's
got the phone lines on.

Speaker 11 (01:07:12):
I know Boston is going to do it, so I
don't know who, if the other people will or not,
but yeah, her famous.

Speaker 2 (01:07:17):
Guys, we're famous, I have to say, you know. The
first question out of the shoot with her was asking her,
how on earth do you create, produce, write, and prepare
to release all of the visuals and everything that goes
with an album while you're on tour, while you're going
to football games in America, but touring across the globe,

(01:07:43):
you know, and having a relationship that's all over the headlines,
and you know, going out to dinner with friends. She
at that same time did that, and she answered how
she did it. She said it was the craziness of
the tour that was making her all itchy, and so
she needed this this outlet. She needed this artistic outlet
to keep her on track. How many people do you

(01:08:03):
know in your life that actually need more to stimulate
them because they've had so much stimulation.

Speaker 11 (01:08:10):
Honestly, all of the really successful people I know are
like that.

Speaker 2 (01:08:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:08:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:08:15):
I mean it's like they accomplished something huge and I'm
clapping for them, like wow, that's huge, and they're already
on to the next thing.

Speaker 6 (01:08:22):
They just keep raising the.

Speaker 4 (01:08:23):
Bar for themselves.

Speaker 2 (01:08:24):
And she mentioned twice, partially on her own and also
aided by a question you asked, Gandhi, Well, what does
that mean? You know what you just said? I think
she said pleasant detachments? What was it?

Speaker 4 (01:08:35):
It was sated joy?

Speaker 7 (01:08:37):
Yeah, she is.

Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
She was experiencing uncomplicated joy with the release of this album.
And she clearly said as I said twice in this interview,
she alluded to the fact that she was on to
something else. All the emotions and things that she was
feeling when she wrote, produced and created all those songs
is gone. It's done. Those are things that she was
experiencing earlier and now done. And she said that was

(01:09:00):
part of the cathartic evolution of the of the art
form that she's experiencing.

Speaker 11 (01:09:05):
Right, wow, okay, yeah, she said a lot of times,
like what complicates the joy is when she's written something,
when it comes out, it's not aligned with how she's
feeling at the moment. So it almost takes her back
to a weird time or as with this because it
happened so fast, she's still living in it, so feeling yeah,
this stuff, so it's just a to happy.

Speaker 6 (01:09:23):
Yeah, that's kind of cool though, that when you're listening
to this album, you realize that she still feels these
feelings right now, that she's still going through how she
feels with this. It's not like the past. It's just cool.

Speaker 2 (01:09:35):
Well yeah, but there's a lesson to be learned here.
You go through something in your life and you find
a way to deal with it. Her way is through
her music, right, and then you move on. So therefore
she's not going through it the same way she used to,
and that's what the album did to save her, she said.
She did confirm that Sourdough Brett had nothing to do
with the super Bowl. I like that, yes, and so

(01:09:57):
we can move on with that thought. So that said,
Tato Swift. The album is out, people are listening to
it letting it sink in. You should do it too.
You should get in there, even if you're not a
huge fan of hers. The Life of a show Girl
could just be something that maybe even give a listen
to this weekend. Let's go round the room. I want
to see what's on your mind. And then we got
some sound with Garrett Proof that Scary did flatulate low

(01:10:18):
right on top of me. Flatulence, pure clapping flatulence. Nope,
we'll start with you, scary. What's on your mind today?

Speaker 9 (01:10:27):
Now I know what it feels like to be a dog.
My girlfriend's friend literally was wearing a sex leash to
the third Alvenue festival in Bay Ridge on Sunday, and
we were all there hanging out and they're.

Speaker 7 (01:10:39):
Like, come on, scary, try it on for size. Come on.
And it does like a metal like leash and a chain.

Speaker 9 (01:10:45):
So they're like, I'm like, okay, So just for funzies,
I put it around my neck and then my girlfriend
like put it up really tight and she started pulling
me with it, and I'm like, oh my god, is this.

Speaker 7 (01:10:54):
What our animals deal with?

Speaker 2 (01:10:56):
Every name?

Speaker 20 (01:10:57):
This is?

Speaker 7 (01:10:57):
This is crazy?

Speaker 2 (01:10:58):
Well you got in mind. Dogs are usually trained to
walk on a leash better than being pulled around. Secondly,
they're also at ankle level near the ground, and you weren't.
You weren't. There's so now I no, no, maybe you're
on your way to feeling like a dog, but you're
You've got more work to do.

Speaker 7 (01:11:12):
Okay.

Speaker 9 (01:11:13):
I'm just saying I kind of got what it felt
like wearing this sexy shit.

Speaker 11 (01:11:17):
Did you hump someone randomly?

Speaker 23 (01:11:19):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:11:20):
Fire hid though, oh, did you sniff crotches? See? I
think it gives you license to do that and get
away with you. All right, Danielle, what's up with you?

Speaker 6 (01:11:28):
I would like to apologize to Scotti's dog, Sawyer, because
I wanted to play and Sawyer wanted to sleep in
the other room. And I'm like, come on, Sawyer, play
with me, wake up, wake up. It's like, really, lady, God,
I really just want to sleep. But now I look
like Sawyer. I'm wearing all black today and I am
head to toe in so I'm good.

Speaker 2 (01:11:50):
He's a part of you.

Speaker 6 (01:11:51):
I like that taking him home with me to I'm
a Sawyer sweater.

Speaker 2 (01:11:54):
I gotta be honest. I never ever feel guilty about
waking my dogs up? What about you, guys? I mean no,
they they got plenty of time to sleep.

Speaker 1 (01:12:01):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:12:02):
They love loving from you no matter what. They would
rather you wake them up and give them love than not.
So you did the right thing.

Speaker 6 (01:12:08):
He's very cuddly.

Speaker 2 (01:12:09):
Hey, what's up, Froggy.

Speaker 12 (01:12:10):
I made a really embarrassing mistake yesterday. I was on
the phone with a uh, somebody I work with out
of Nashville, and I'm talking to him and I was
looking at something on my phone from Lisa at the
time while I was talking to this person, and I
really wasn't paying attention, and it was time to hang up,
and so we're saying goodbye, and I said all right,
and I was remember I'm looking at something from Lisa,
and I said, all right, love, you talk to you later.

(01:12:32):
And I hung up and I called him back, like, dude,
you did not hear that, he goes. I was wondering
why you said that. My mind was my mind was
somewhere else. And then I was trying to say goodbye
to him, and I'm like, dude, this is my mind's
in seventy two different directions. But yeah, i'd be called
back and apologize.

Speaker 2 (01:12:50):
That's it. The break can only take so much. And
you did, okay. I mean it's like, yeah, you do,
you do? Maybe deep down you do. Hey, Gandhi, what's
up with you today?

Speaker 3 (01:13:00):
Okay?

Speaker 11 (01:13:00):
So I know I talked about Jane Goodall yesterday because
she was one of my favorite people. We lost her
on Wednesday, and she just had so many quotes out there,
and I found one that I wanted to share with everybody. Okay, says,
whatever you do or don't do makes a difference, and
you have to decide what kind of difference you want
to make.

Speaker 4 (01:13:17):
And it really made me think.

Speaker 11 (01:13:18):
About that, because whether you choose to recycle or you
don't choose to recycle, you are making an impact one
way or another. So you might feel like doing nothing
doesn't do anything, but in fact it does. So just
make conscious choices about your actions when you're making them
doing them, I should.

Speaker 2 (01:13:33):
Say, the more I read about her, and I've been
studying Jane good good All for years, the more I
read about her that I still learn from this most incredible,
incredible force. What a wonderful woman. She's one of those
people who, even though her body has passed away, she
will live forever. Pretty cool for sure, and I totally
get why so many people are enamored with her. Danielle,
what's up? Or did you you did? I'm having them

(01:13:56):
having a froggy moment. I love you, Producer Sandwich up
with you to doing all right?

Speaker 13 (01:14:01):
There was a divide in my friend group yesterday, and
I just want y'all's opinion. I know we talked about
this on air a while ago. My friend woke up
furious at her husband because he did something really messed
up in her dream, and she.

Speaker 2 (01:14:12):
Came he did it.

Speaker 13 (01:14:14):
She came to the friend group and she's like, I'm
allowed to be really pissed about the things he did
in my dream, right, And my response was I really
want to back you on this.

Speaker 4 (01:14:22):
I want to And then it caused a little bit
of a fight.

Speaker 13 (01:14:24):
I put up a poll and fifty two percent of
people on Instagram said, yes, you can be mad at
your significant other for a dream. Okay, Gandhi is on
my side.

Speaker 2 (01:14:33):
No she's not. Say you're not on her side for that.
That's silly.

Speaker 11 (01:14:37):
No, you can't be mad at somebody for what they
did in your dream. That was your brain attacking you.

Speaker 4 (01:14:41):
I agree, The masses don't agree.

Speaker 2 (01:14:43):
Oh I thought you said that Gandhi was on that
side of saying you can be mad at No.

Speaker 6 (01:14:47):
She's on my side.

Speaker 4 (01:14:48):
I said that to her.

Speaker 13 (01:14:49):
I really want to validate your feelings. It's my favorite hobby,
but I can't do that on this.

Speaker 4 (01:14:53):
I'm so sorry.

Speaker 6 (01:14:54):
So real though, Mackham for one second, and then you
have oh, do not do that?

Speaker 3 (01:14:59):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
Oh no, that's not reality.

Speaker 4 (01:15:01):
No, dude, I mean it feels nice that they care
that your feelings were hurt. But that's like I feel
like the extent of it, like if I had a
really bad dream A William like you did this, He's like, oh,
that's stinks. I'm sorry. Then that's good.

Speaker 2 (01:15:12):
That's enough.

Speaker 4 (01:15:12):
Don't be mad at them.

Speaker 2 (01:15:15):
Okay, there's your around the room. I think we got
everyone in. We're good, We're good. Let's get some how
about the headlines from you, Danielle. Then I have a
few pieces of sound coming up. We'll start with you.
What's going on?

Speaker 6 (01:15:24):
Yesterday in London, taylorswept tape the Graham Norton Show. It
will be seen on BBC and BBC America and streamed
on AMC Plus. This was her first of several promotional
interviews for the Life of a show Girl. Of course,
we're the only radio she did, so that was pretty exciting.
And she was on the Graham Norton Show and they
were talking, of course about her engagement to Travis Kelsey.

(01:15:45):
They were talking about her baking. She actually brought him
some sour dough bread, which was nice. You'll get to
see all of this tonight and next week, Taylor, we'll
have more stories to share. She'll be on the Tonight
Show with our boy Jimmy Fallon, who, by the way,
was cheering on the New York Yankees last night. I
don't know if you saw him at Yankee Stadium's so cute,
And she'll be also on with Late Night with Seth Myers. Today,

(01:16:07):
Diddy will be sentenced in Manhattan Federal Court, so the
judge could sentence him to a maximum of twenty years
in federal prison. The defensive prosecution will state their case
did He will also address the court before sentencing with
the help of his legal team. Now, he submitted a
four page letter to the judge that said, I humbly
ask you for another chance to be a better father,

(01:16:29):
to be a better son, to be a better leader
in my community, and another chance to live a better life. Say, guests, yeah,
we'll see what happens with that.

Speaker 11 (01:16:37):
Don't come out and try to lead the community now, yeah,
heaves the community alone, exactly.

Speaker 6 (01:16:41):
Elon Musk became the first human with a net worth
of five hundred billion dollars yesterday after Tesla stock climbed
by around four percent. But easy come, easy go everybody,
because his bank account eventually drop back down to oh
just four hundred and eighty five eight billion, guys. I mean,
good God, do it with that.

Speaker 2 (01:17:03):
That's a big loss.

Speaker 6 (01:17:03):
If you think about it, it's crazy. And if he
doesn't do it sooner. He is also on track to
become a trillionaire in twenty thirty three thanks to a
pay package sheeese due from Tesla. That's insane and that's
my Daniel report.

Speaker 2 (01:17:17):
That's fabulous.

Speaker 7 (01:17:18):
All right.

Speaker 2 (01:17:18):
A few pieces of sound from Garrett, Yes, a couple
of songs, just a few. Let's look at two songs
that people really aren't paying a lot of attention to
from the Life of a show Girl.

Speaker 24 (01:17:27):
We'll start with Elizabeth Taylor. And it sounds like this
love Elizabeth Taylor. I love this song, Taylor.

Speaker 2 (01:17:37):
It's Elizabeth Taylor. I loved Elizabeth Taylor. She was this
a big part of my childhood, the glamorous, glamorous woman
who would throw sharp objects when no one was watching.
But that's okay, we love that. And what's the other one,
father figure? Oh yeah, and there's a line in the
album version that says, my schlong is bigger than yours.

(01:17:59):
I don't she doesn't use the words long. It's edited
out here. Yeah, But in the radio version, it's in
the radio version. It's actually my paychecks bigger than you
or something like that. Yes, exactly, Yeah, my things bigger
than yours. All right now, just a couple of other cuts. Now,

(01:18:20):
let's get to the scary story. Please.

Speaker 24 (01:18:22):
Yes, So yesterday, late in the show, we were having
a conversation and a questionable sound happened while you were talking, Elvis,
and you called scary out on it.

Speaker 2 (01:18:29):
It sounded like he was right next to me, next
to my next to me. My microphone was okay, I
will tell you this. If the thing did you fart?
Did you hear that? Did you hear that?

Speaker 1 (01:18:39):
Give a little bit.

Speaker 2 (01:18:40):
It was like it was like, okay, okay, let me
play it again. Hold on, okay, I will tell you this,
if the thing did you fart?

Speaker 7 (01:18:51):
Oh wait, I think I did a raspberry with my mouth.

Speaker 2 (01:18:54):
No, okay, you didn't a raspberry.

Speaker 7 (01:18:56):
Good, that's what I did. That's what happened.

Speaker 2 (01:18:58):
You did a raspberry with your butt. I isolated the
questionable part. Here's what it sounds like one more time.

Speaker 7 (01:19:07):
Here, I did not.

Speaker 9 (01:19:10):
I swear I didn't even have any food in me
at that out.

Speaker 2 (01:19:12):
That's that's gross.

Speaker 7 (01:19:17):
I need some fuel and there was nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:19:21):
Okay, I'm so glad we're ending this segment with that conversation.

Speaker 6 (01:19:25):
And he's lying we had virgils yesterday, so he definite.

Speaker 1 (01:19:29):
God.

Speaker 7 (01:19:29):
Yeah, yeah, so appreciated and I love you guys.

Speaker 1 (01:19:36):

about it. It's Doayne the Rock Johnson in a role
of a lifetime. It' says we've never seen him before.
Usually we see the Rock he's very charismatic and it's

(01:22:19):
almost like he's playing a version of himself. But here
he's completely disappearing into a role for the first time ever.
Rumor has it he got a twenty minute standing ovation
at Tiff because of this performance. So this is something
that he's probably gonna get a lot of awards consideration for.
So I think it's something that we definitely should be
checking out.

Speaker 2 (01:22:39):
You know, we love him, We've always loved him, but
he's always been in more whimsical roles and fun roles
and tough guy roles, but this one is totally it's
a total departure.

Speaker 4 (01:22:48):
He looks totally different.

Speaker 11 (01:22:50):
I had to do a double take, like.

Speaker 7 (01:22:51):
It looks totally different.

Speaker 20 (01:22:52):
Yeah, and to see the Rock right like, as you know,
we love the Rock and everything that he does, but
we just see a different side of his acting talent
and said, that's something that whenever you walk out of
the movie, you go, we got to tell people to
kind of like see this because how often do you
get to see in real time a very popular actor
making departure from what they're act like doing it all
the time?

Speaker 2 (01:23:12):
Do you actually buy into this character? Does he achieve
what do you set out to achieve? I think he
more than sets out to achieve with this. What you know?

Speaker 20 (01:23:20):
I think like as soon as you saw the trailer,
you know this was going to be something special. And
when you walk out of this, you just want to
see more roles like this that Dwayne takes on. And
he's actually going to be doing this pretty soon in
a Martin Scorsese movie of all things. So we know
that Martin Scorsese knows that knows how to get the
best performances out of his actors.

Speaker 2 (01:23:39):
So I think after you walk out of this movie.

Speaker 20 (01:23:41):
You're gonna want more, and you're gonna get more from
Dwayne Johnson and rolls like this.

Speaker 2 (01:23:44):
All right, it's smashing machine Dwayne Johnson. He had the
rock he ectomy and did you say.

Speaker 11 (01:23:50):
Ben Saftie is the person directing this.

Speaker 2 (01:23:53):
He is.

Speaker 11 (01:23:54):
That's the bad guy from Happy Gilmore too right.

Speaker 20 (01:23:57):
It is literally the doodoo bref guy from Happy to.

Speaker 6 (01:24:02):
Now Crazy.

Speaker 20 (01:24:05):
He's really good. He does acting. He's a great director.
He's also directed to uncut Jones. It's it's crazy the
range this man has in life.

Speaker 7 (01:24:13):
All right?

Speaker 2 (01:24:14):
What else you got? What I also have?

Speaker 20 (01:24:16):
Is actually a directorial debut from someone else that we
all love. Scarlett Johansson makes her directorial debut with Eleanor
the Greats, which is a movie from Sony Picture Classics,
And it starts June Squib and I don't know if
you guys are whatever was cent familiar with June Squib.
She's ninety seven years old, I believe, and she's putting
in one of the best performances of the year. It's
about a older woman who has a best friend who

(01:24:38):
passes away, and so she moves with her daughter to
Manhattan and she's trying to adjust when she makes friends
with a young journalist who wants to tell the story
of her life because she is a Holocaust survivor. Now,
there's a big twist in the movie that I won't spoil,
but the fact that this is scarl Johnson's directorial debut
is something that we all should keep an eye on.
I watched the movie. There's a lot of moments that

(01:25:00):
that will make me, that will make you cry because
of the subject matter, because of the performances, and you know,
Scart Johansson just really brings a very empathetic and a
heartfelt view to this character, to the story, and it's
it's just one of those films that I think we
should be like looking at right now.

Speaker 2 (01:25:17):
What's the name of the film again, Eleanor the Great. Okay,
so that's Scarlett Johanson directing, and of course starr Agan
Eleanor the Great taking.

Speaker 20 (01:25:28):
Us all right, So we're going to streaming now, and
as you guys know, it is spooky season that just
started yesterday.

Speaker 2 (01:25:33):
We're now in October second.

Speaker 20 (01:25:34):
So if you watch something that will kind of like
scare you, but something that's kind of like it. I
don't want to call it an oldie, but goodie, it's
still a fairly recent movie. I just rewatched it last
night because he's on HBO Max the Stevin King adaptation,
starring Bill scars Gar as Pittywise the Clown. This is
a great movie, guys, like, I don't know what was
the last time you revisited this movie, but it it's
so freaking good. There's so much more than just the

(01:25:57):
scares in this movie.

Speaker 7 (01:25:58):
You guys, remember that.

Speaker 6 (01:26:01):
I like spooky stuff, but clowns.

Speaker 2 (01:26:04):
That's all the more reasons why you should know watch
it exactly, exactly, listen, definitely listen, face your fears.

Speaker 20 (01:26:12):
This is this is the time to face your fears. Plus,
it's a great performance. Plus, I will say that even
though it is spooky, it's still a great coming up
age story. There was just beautiful moments of kids just
like in a quarry, just playing like you know, just
standing up for each other. There's also this really great
moment where they make fun of new kids on the block,
and any like horror film that makes fun of new

(01:26:33):
kids on the block, I'm with it.

Speaker 6 (01:26:36):
Okay, Okay, then you see it.

Speaker 2 (01:26:41):
Yeah. Chapter one ed Chapter two why not make it
a marathon?

Speaker 6 (01:26:44):
Oh yeah, why not? Don't sleep ever?

Speaker 20 (01:26:47):
Yeah yeah, who cares? Who cares about sleep? And then
we can come back here at six thirty in the
morning and talk about it.

Speaker 2 (01:26:53):
Do you have anything else for us today?

Speaker 17 (01:26:55):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:26:56):
This is a movie that I saw.

Speaker 20 (01:26:58):
I want to say it was a couple of months ago,
but I think this is the first time it hits streaming.
It's called The Surfer and it starts Nicholas Cage and
it is a psychological thriller horror if you could categorize
it as at but imagine a horror film primarily set
on a beach in Australia during the day, right, And
it's about this American man who moves to Australia and

(01:27:21):
all he wants to do is go and surf. However,
the locals are very much like part of this strong
rule that the beach only should have locals only, so
they do everything that they can to gas like this man,
to mess with this man psychologically, physically, and it will
make you feel like you're going crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:27:39):
It's a hell of a ride.

Speaker 20 (01:27:40):
The villains are absolutely insane, and Nicholas Cage just puts
in one of those performances that just he's really good
at playing like I have no idea what the hell
is going on.

Speaker 2 (01:27:51):
In that frame when you watch the movie. So the
Surfer is a good one, all right. So if you're
gonna be streaming and screaming, if you want for the
season all about clowns, Danielle, face your fears, Okay. Also
the Surfer, I want to see that Nick Cage picked
on on an Australian beach. I want to see some
of that.

Speaker 6 (01:28:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:28:09):
And of course the theaters you have Cashy Machine with
Dwayne Johnson without the rock and eleanor the great Scott
at Johansson directing in acting. And I'll say, Juju, the
movie I'm waiting for is Frankenstein. I cannot wait to have.

Speaker 14 (01:28:22):
You wait to the red carpet this week. So next week, sorry,
looks so beautiful. I cannot wait to see that. And

So unless you're living in a cave, and caves are
great living by the way, The Life of the Showgirl
Taylor Swift's album is back. We caught up with her
on the road. She's on the phone, Taylor, Oh hi, Hello.
Look who had time in the busiest day of the
year to give us a phone Callay? How are you?

Speaker 3 (01:29:42):
I'm so good. I'm so excited for this record. I'm
still very like uncomplicated.

Speaker 23 (01:29:47):
Joy about it.

Speaker 2 (01:29:48):
You know, well, I have to tell you I sat
in a room full of adults and watch them cry
while listening to some of these tracks. I want to
go over these with you because I loved it too.
Oh really, this is going to be something special when
everyone gets a hold of it. And it looks like
everyone is going to get a hold of it.

Speaker 3 (01:30:05):
I'm so happy.

Speaker 18 (01:30:06):
I'm really happy to hear that.

Speaker 23 (01:30:07):
It's so nice to have feedback from this.

Speaker 3 (01:30:08):
It's like it's been such a secret for such a
long time.

Speaker 2 (01:30:12):
Let's talk about that. Tell me the story now, on
the most crazy two year tour and you're going to
football games and you're baking sourdough bread and you were writing,
producing and recording an album at the same time, tell
me the story of how that happened. It didn't drive

(01:30:33):
you a little nuts, Well, it.

Speaker 3 (01:30:36):
Was actually kind of the opposite of going nuts, because
I think if I hadn't started to create a process
of making this album while I was on tour, I
think I was way more exhausted than I was because,
like this album.

Speaker 18 (01:30:52):
Started to happen in the European.

Speaker 3 (01:30:56):
Leg of the Eras tour, like last summer, and it
was during a time in the tour I was so
physically exhausted.

Speaker 23 (01:31:06):
That that like my feet.

Speaker 3 (01:31:08):
Were sore, my legs were sore, I hits, my neck,
my back, everything was.

Speaker 18 (01:31:12):
Like in pain.

Speaker 3 (01:31:13):
All the time.

Speaker 23 (01:31:15):
And it was also like almost two years into the.

Speaker 3 (01:31:17):
Tour, so I was starting to get muscle memory. I
was starting to be able to do the show without
thinking about it. So I knew I needed to like
stimulate my brain and my creativity and like figure out
a way to like be excited every day. And so
I would do three shows, I'd fly to Sweden and record,
do three more shows, fly back to Sweden. And it
was actually that stimulation of the creative process of making

(01:31:40):
this record that made me finish out that tour without
like without ever like hitting a wall.

Speaker 2 (01:31:46):
You know, look at Sweden stamps in that.

Speaker 18 (01:31:51):
Oh yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 2 (01:31:53):
I don't even know where to start here. I'll start
with the crying in the Room and I'm going to
play it in a minute. The Fate of Ophelia. Of course,
add to the list of things you were doing. You're
restudying Hamlet again, so we'll get that.

Speaker 18 (01:32:06):
But hey, you know, that story never leaves you.

Speaker 2 (01:32:10):
There's just something about the way the music sonically hits
the words and it really kind of it grabs you
by the heart. It's beautiful. We're gonna play that in
just a second.

Speaker 3 (01:32:18):
Oh, I'm so happy you'd like that one. That one,
just like as soon as we wrote it, I had
a feeling it would be the one that we would
go with first, and the one I'd get to make
a music video for because it's just so visual and
also just like so infectious.

Speaker 6 (01:32:31):
I love it, And I want to talk about your
Easter eggs. Like so many of your fans, you know,
hear these Easter eggs or see these Easter eggs. Are
they really always there? Or is there times where you go, yeah,
that's not really a hint, that's not really an Easter egg.

Speaker 18 (01:32:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:32:48):
There are definitely some theories that are based in absolutely
nothing close to reality, but you know what, like there
are some that are so.

Speaker 18 (01:33:00):
Fun when they figure them out.

Speaker 3 (01:33:01):
Like like just yesterday, somebody figured out that if you
line up the titles of all the tracks of this
album in order and you line them up in the
center of the frame, the shape of the track list
makes the same shape as the era's tour stage.

Speaker 6 (01:33:20):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:33:20):
So that was a real one. That was one that
it took a while for them to discover and then
finally they figured it out and it was really fun.
But then there's somewhere like people thought that somehow sour
though bread was a part of the whole thing, when
actually that's I bake.

Speaker 18 (01:33:37):
I love baking.

Speaker 23 (01:33:38):
It's completely aside from my music.

Speaker 3 (01:33:40):
It's just a hobby, IM obsess to it.

Speaker 2 (01:33:42):
There's a track on this album about sourdough. I know
there is, I know there's not, there's not.

Speaker 3 (01:33:50):
But yeah, it's been really funny to like to have
people care that much, you know, because ultimately Easter eggs
are always leading towards more art. They're leading toward rics
or art that's coming in the future. So I wouldn't
be able to do that if the fans didn't care
so much about the music itself, which I'm very honored by.

Speaker 11 (01:34:09):
So we always say that your albums are really like
a diary, and then you just open it up and
you share your diary with the world. And you've done
this twelve times, so twelve different diaries. But in doing it,
are there lyrics that you can think of right now
that were just incredibly difficult for you to write and
then open up and share with people.

Speaker 3 (01:34:28):
Not really, I don't really operate that way. Like my
music is a way of like it's the art of catharsis,
like there will be times where I'll write the most
gut wrenching so on the torment and heartbreak, and then
as soon as I'm done writing it, I'm done with
that emotion. Like it's almost been a way of just
sort of like you say the thing.

Speaker 18 (01:34:48):
And then you can move on from the thing.

Speaker 23 (01:34:52):
But I just have like kind of learned that's kind of.

Speaker 3 (01:34:55):
Gone by to sort of deal with writing in terms
of from the character or story, arts or fiction or
in this record, like there's a song called Elizabeth Taylor,
which is sort of like my emotions and my issues
with same through the lens of cause playing the life
of Elizabeth Taylor, so you kind of meld the two
experiences together because she's always someone that I've looked up

(01:35:17):
to as being this very very glamorous, very beloved but
for some reason a polarizing figure, which I've found myself
in that place too.

Speaker 23 (01:35:26):
So it's been really fun, right, Yeah, I love writing.

Speaker 2 (01:35:29):
Well Elizabeth Taylor. Elizabeth Taylor. I've always been a massive
fan because I guess it's the you know, the old
gay thing, but uh, I mean she would just navigate
through life just looking flawless at all times. But you know,
as soon as the door closed, she was throwing.

Speaker 18 (01:35:43):
She was funny.

Speaker 2 (01:35:43):
She was hilarious, but she was funny.

Speaker 3 (01:35:45):
And I think she's just a fabulous role model and
like person that I hope my fans will look her
up and see how much she went through and how
she was making her best art, like even at the
midst of people's outrage over something in her life, like
she continued being at the top of her game in
terms of her artistic output.

Speaker 2 (01:36:07):
Well good. I mean, a whole new audience needs to
learn a lot more about Elizabeth Taylor. And so I
was listening to the song, I was thinking, this is
definitely an homage to her, but it's actually an homage
to yourself as well. And I love that. And also
Oprah Light talk about the experiences, talk about opal Light.
Is that is that the one that has the lyric
It's my favorite lyric on the album. You're Dancing through
the lightning strikes? Is that that's from that? The song?

Speaker 3 (01:36:29):
Yeah, I'm glad you liked that one. That's one of
my favorite songs on the record.

Speaker 2 (01:36:35):
But you can actually see choreography. You can see someone
dancing through the lightning strikes. What a powerful line that is.
Love that and also it's.

Speaker 3 (01:36:44):
About it's about choosing happiness in your own life. You know,
like opal light isn't is a man made opal. It's
just like you know how they have man made diamonds
now like, And so I love that sort of reference
and metaphor between making your own like gemstone and then

(01:37:05):
manufacturing your own happiness even when things aren't going your way.

Speaker 2 (01:37:08):
Also, if you're a size queen, father figure is an
ice selection.

Speaker 18 (01:37:15):
Of father figures a great I.

Speaker 23 (01:37:18):
Love that one. I love that one.

Speaker 2 (01:37:21):
No one's going to ask you who that's about, but
it's sure is it applatable to all of our lives.

Speaker 3 (01:37:26):
It's a song. It's a song about power, and it's
a it's got a really good metaphor about the way
that men move through the world in a sense of power.
It's kind of like you kind of can't tell if
I'm singing from the perspective of the angenou or of
the father figure mentor character. And that's by design.

Speaker 2 (01:37:46):
Wow, awesome, you know, go ahead.

Speaker 11 (01:37:49):
You mentioned earlier you just talked about making your own happiness.
And when we started this call, you said that you're
feeling uncomplicated joy. What to you is complicated joy? Because
that made me really think about what does that mean?

Speaker 2 (01:38:00):
I think I want some of that.

Speaker 3 (01:38:01):
Yeah, that's a good question. Complicated joy around a record
release is when you wrote the album a year ago,
when you were in a very different place emotionally than you.

Speaker 18 (01:38:12):
Are when you wrote it.

Speaker 3 (01:38:13):
Let's say you wrote a heartbreak album and now you're
very happy, or let's say you wrote a happy album
and now you're very heartbroken, like.

Speaker 18 (01:38:20):
Or any kind of variation on that.

Speaker 3 (01:38:23):
When you feel that you're in a different place and
now you're putting out art that you're proud.

Speaker 18 (01:38:28):
Of but you don't relate to anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:38:31):
I really relate to this record because I'm in the
same exact place as I was when I wrote it.

Speaker 6 (01:38:35):
I love that.

Speaker 2 (01:38:36):
Wow, we're about to play the Fate of Ophelia, the
one that makes people in the room cry. But first,
before you have one more second to talk about life
of a Showgirl. I mean this, this track, I'm trying
to figure out where it's from. I mean, it's it
is it so simple, It is exactly what it is.
You out there on the road doing your thing. Talk

(01:38:56):
to me about that.

Speaker 3 (01:38:58):
The wrong the life of a Showgirls, the song of
that I with Sabrina Carpenter because it's about it's a
story about meeting one of your idols and telling them you.

Speaker 23 (01:39:09):
Want to do this too, you want to follow in
those footsteps.

Speaker 3 (01:39:12):
And I think a lot of people in the entertainment
industry have had this happen. Your idol warns you not
to do it, not to follow in their footsteps because
of how hard this industry is, And it's about taking
that advice and completely disregarding it and doing it any way.
And I wanted Sabrina to be the person who did
the duet with me on it because I just think

(01:39:33):
she's so smarked and like cut out for this job,
if you want to.

Speaker 18 (01:39:38):
Call it a job.

Speaker 3 (01:39:39):
It's really a all encompassing life path.

Speaker 18 (01:39:44):
And I think she's like.

Speaker 3 (01:39:47):
Just so brilliant and tough in a way. She's very
sensitive in terms of being an artist, but she can
handle herself. So I just thought that she would be
kind of a great person to collaborate with on that
song in particular, And it's the last song on the record,
so it really ends out the story of the album.

Speaker 6 (01:40:05):
This is what you do, Elvis. If someone wants to
be in radio, you tell him run.

Speaker 2 (01:40:08):
The other run run from your life, live to tell
others the life of a showgirl. It's out today. There's
so many great stories and you were the best storyteller.
Let me give you the fatal ophilia. Congratulations Taylor, thanks
for being on with us today.

Speaker 3 (01:40:21):
Thank you so much. Thanks for listening to music, and
I hope you guys have a great today.

Speaker 2 (01:40:25):
You too, Take care.

Speaker 17 (01:40:27):
