Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hello, get it out, cough it out. Okay, Hey, there
she is. What's up in sauce on the side. I'm
Gandhi here with my lovely producer Diamond, who is on
one today. Do we want to talk about what's going
on with you? I mean, by the time this comes out,
it's going to be Wednesday. We are recording this right
now on Monday, which means the series finale, season finale
of Love Island happened yesterday, and she is fit to
(00:29):
be tied.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yeah, I'm upset. I'm very upset. I had all weekend
to like really be sick over this, and I'm still sick.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Okay, So I don't want to give away any spoilers,
but her favorite couple, the people that she thought was
gonna make it all all the way through, they got
sent home because, as I was saying to her this morning,
it really seems like everybody who came out to vote
people off the island, it was just a bunch of haters,
Like they saw people being happy and we're basically like,
not on my watch, you're going home, which is weird.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
It was very weird. But I think basically someone in
the couple kind of like kickstarted that throughout the season,
so it kind of came full circle. Oh but it
is what it is. I'm just like, I'm pissed off, okay,
because there were no real connections maybe one, one real
connection that made it into the final four.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
See this is why I say, and I've been saying
it for a long time. I no longer believe in democracy.
I thought everybody should have a say until recent events,
and by recent I mean starting in twenty sixteen, things
have gotten really weird. You watch them vote through the
worst people on a show and vote off the best.
Even when it came to that dumbast show the weakest link,
they never actually I shouldn't say never, but they would
(01:43):
vote the weakest link off until somebody got threatening, and
then it didn't become the weakest link. It became get
rid of the good player.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
That is a shit way to operate in society, and
that is why we will never have nice things.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Sick to my.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Sstom And for the record, Diamond's out here fighting with
other people at work about Love Island. She just told
a girl named Steph that she didn't want to talk
to her because it's people like her that effed up the.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Entire thing, absolutely, and I'm standing on it. When I
saw one of the interns, Ben, he was a fan
of someone who I detest from the season. Oh who
hood up. Then I saw him this morning, I said.
The first thing out of my mouth was, and how
did you feel about last night's episode? Because she showed
her ass again, She showed her ass.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
But Ben probably loved that. He probably loves the drama.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
He does, okay, And I told him, you are the
reason why I was so heartbroken in November of twenty
twenty Four's people like you who think that this shit
is funny. That is quite a leap. But okay, No, No,
the signs are right there. Damn it, Ben, because you're entertained,
you're voting for this shit.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
This is me all oh man, speaking of voting for
some shit. We have seen so many people recently start
to try and walk back. Well, I can't believe he
did all this. I can't believe Trump is doing this.
He didn't do anything he said he was going to do.
First of all, I think he did everything he said
he was going to do, and some things he said
he wasn't gonna do. But what did you expect That's
where I'm very confused.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
He's taken standing on business to another level. But it's
bullshit business. I was gonna say, what business he is
standing on it though, everything that he said he was
gonna do, he's doing it. And these people are looking
around like, well, I didn't think he was going to
do that, and why not he literally said it.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Meanwhile, we're all here like I did think he was
going to do that. I was actually very concerned that's
specifically what he was going to do. Bummer. I know
Diamond loves that we are in the find out phase
the fucking around. I do not love that because we
are all finding out at the same time. It would
be nice if only the people who voted for him
found out. Yet here we all are together in this
group project from hell.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I sleep good at night knowing that I didn't have
anything to do with this. I tried, we tried. I
was down in the dumps for a minute. But you
know what, don't make me say things that I don't
even I don't. I don't want to get in trouble.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Is this podcast going to be flagged for racism again?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
They're going to cancel me? Because I'm gonna start saying shit,
that's I'm going to stand on business.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Let's talk about being canceled for a second, because we've
I know that I have said this so many times.
I actually don't think that that's a thing anymore. I
think it had a moment ye like four or five
years ago where people were actually getting canceled and it
was affecting their money and they weren't getting jobs. Now,
everything just moves so quickly. The entire news cycle moves
so quickly that somebody can say something crazy and outrageous
(04:24):
and the next week have a number one album and
it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yeah, Like Sierra Ortega from.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Love is Blood, No, No Island is in there?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, did you see what she posted? No, she was
they tried to cancel her. I think that it was
ineffective because she took accountability whatever. This weekend she posted
screenshots of all the death threat death threats that she's
been getting, and she was like, is this the accountability
that you want me to take? Like, I don't understand
what you guys want from me. And I was like
(04:57):
clockett or as they're saying now, Clarket from Love Island,
you apologized to me. It was a genuine apology. It
seemed like one, what do you want from her? Like
to call an ice on her family crazy, telling her
that she better you better never catch her in LA, Like,
that's crazy, and I'd be range.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
The majority of the people sending these crazy threats are
not even of that community that felt that this was wrong.
It's usually crazy other people. When you remember Finding Nemo
or do you said you didn't really like it? Just
would you call it? Doriy has dementia?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, the girl she didn't know what was going on. Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Well, at the end of Finding Nemo, well, toward the end,
there's a scene with seagulls where they're all just sitting
there and like if a fish comes around or a
little snack, they're like, mine, mine, mine, mine.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Do you remember that barely?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Okay? It's just like mindless seagulls basically all yelling the
same thing. And I feel like that is where we
have reached in society, where one person says something other
people don't actually think for themselves, and they're just like, yes,
me too, me too, me too, me too. I feel
the same, And this giant wave of bullshit comes at
you that maybe necessarily shouldn't. And then in the opposite direction,
(06:06):
things people should really be caring about they just choose
not to.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Right, Let's bring it back to this season of Love Life.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
She is a woman invested fact that they're.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Going so hard about these other things. But this woman
Huldah verbally assaulted someone has lied this entire season and
was called multiple lives, has manipulated people. It's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
She's disgusting, and she's a mom. How dare she is
she the only parent in the whole thing?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Probably?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, it's funny, I think so when people say things
like that and she's a mom, like that actually makes
no difference in the world. Some of the craziest people
I know are parents self, Like, my parents are crazy.
Just becoming a parent doesn't suddenly make you responsible or
socially aware or a good person. So I don't think
that should actually ever be considered.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
She continued to use it as like a crutch. I
guess all season if somebody was mad at her and
they didn't know that she was a mom, she would
sit them down and say, yeah, like, you know, you
don't know this, but I'm a mom. Okay, so ace off,
you go, ten out of ten reaction, he was like,
my mom was a single mom. Basically I can continue
keep going with the conversation because this is not doing
(07:15):
it for me.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
So that's what Diamond's pissed about today. How was your
weekend sad because of this?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Sad?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, like genuinely said, you actually internalize and you're like,
I am sad about this.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
It's just like a sick to my stomach. I hate
and why Yeah, yeah, I should be embarrassed.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
And the reason why, I was just like, we're losing
the plot of Love Island. This used to be like
I used to be able to enjoy it and like
laugh and stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Do you think that this show is scripted at all?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
No, but I do think that it's highly edited, and
I think the producers do try to feed them things
now see.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I think that just any reality show, any reality show,
whether it's The Housewives or Love Island or Love is
But whatever it is, I feel like they're all written
to a certain point. Ninety Day Fiance, they definitely have writers.
They have writers. When the credits roll, it says writers.
So obviously there's a plot line that they want to
follow and it's not really reality. I mean reality I
(08:12):
think is in a lot of ways much more entertaining
and in some ways less because most people will like
pump the brakes at some point and be like, I
don't think we should really do that. I'm not gonna
do that, especially not with the camera in front of
my face. But when you have people who are like,
I don't give a buck, there's camera in front of
my face, you're kind of just performers at that point,
and they find a bunch of great performers. Even like
I was never allowed to watch like Real World and
road Rules and stuff. No, I wasn't allowed to watch
(08:35):
any TV until I was like fifteen or sixteen, So
I'm like developmentally stunted in that way. It's crazy. But
if you look at any of the old old clips,
like first season, second season of the Real World, they
were actually dealing with like real shit. There was like
a girl who was contemplating an abortion. I think she
did have an abortion, Tammy, who's now the Bonnet Chronicles famous.
(08:57):
There was just all kinds of stuff. One of the
guys had HIV. There was just so much that was
real World, holy shit, what is going on? Stuff? And
now it's just like, how drink can we get these people?
And who can we make them bang? Every reality show
I feel like just gets bastardized at some point.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yeah, we're getting to that point. But I didn't think
it would come so soon.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
With my violin I seven seasons in.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I'm very opsitted.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I see that, and we've been talking about it now
for ten minutes. I hope that you have aired it
out and you can feel better about this going forward,
and I know you won't. How is your weekend otherwise
from being sad, which you do on Saturday? So trusted
you with a child.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Well, they were in the house, but it was me
and his time, Me and my baby cousin, and he's
so cute and I was like, oh, you're so cute,
but he won't stay still, so please take him back mom. Yeah, okay,
but it was just USO. I'm trying to do this
five K.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I thought you gave up on the K.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yeah that was in that That deadline was April. I
started over, so the new one in September. Okay. Honestly,
I don't know why I'm mentioned in it out loud,
because I may say I don't want to do it.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
You are allowed to change your mind.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
I'm trying.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
So you're training for your five.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
K it's all packing everything out of me.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yes, amazing, good for you.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
I went to dinner on Friday with a friend of
mine and we watched at a nice restaurant, this family
come in and try to scam the restaurant, saying that
the woman broke her tooth on a rock that was
in the food. Like, first of all, where did a
rock come from in the food? That's weird, But it
really suspiciously matched some of the rocks that were outside
of the actual restaurant. So it started becoming this back
(10:30):
and forth where the family was yelling at the manager.
The manager would not say sorry. She was like, oh
my gosh, let me take a look at this. Let
me see what happened. Are you okay? And they just
kept yelling at her. You didn't even apologize. Clearly they
were just trying to get free food. But let me
tell you that little manager stood ten toes down and
did not back down. And I was kind of like, okay,
clarket get it. That was interesting. And then on Saturday,
(10:55):
I was supposed to go to dinner in a movie
with my friends and there are a couple. They got
in a fight, so we didn't go. But this is
the best part. He texted me and was like, yeah,
we got a fucking fight. She doesn't feel like going,
Like she's wild over here. She texted me and was like,
I'm not feeling good. I'm not gonna be oh. And
I was like, well, well, well now we know which
(11:16):
one's most honest. Somebody's Iron Cuel. And then yesterday I
hung out with Josh all day and his friend. Okay,
we say this all the time Dare Remember the DARE program. Yeah,
Dare had you thinking strangers were just gonna come up
to you and offer you their drugs all the time.
And like in real life that never happens. People don't
(11:36):
share their drugs. They want to keep them from themselves.
I encountered it this weekend for the first time. A
stranger to me but not to Josh, offered me drugs
and I was like what. So we streamed all of
us oh wow, like for most of the day yesterday,
and it was great. We had so much fun. We
went to a comedy battle roast, which was great and
(11:59):
we were laughing our ass is off. All of a sudden,
Josh leans over and he's like whispering something like what
are you saying.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
He's like, it is Jeffrey Ross.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Jeffrey Ross is here, Jeffrey Ross. He's the roast master.
So he was there kind of critiquing and cheering for
these kids, which was amazing because I was just thinking, God, okay,
all these comedians aspire to one day be like jeff
Ross at that level, and here they come as little amateur's,
little baby comedians, and they watched their idol walk in
(12:25):
and give them feedback, Like, holy shit, what would that
be like for us? Who would that even be?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
You get to do that with Elvis every day.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Very true, and it's amazing. He is the top. Howard
Searn if Howard Stern came in here and watched our
show one day and then told everyone what they were
doing right and how amazing they were, Like how fucking cool?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Would that baby cool?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I'd be crazy, he asses, as we would probably deserve
in some ways. And then we just like went out
to a couple of bars, had a really good time.
But we'll tay about your Josh, he's dick because on
the way to one of the bars, these people who
were clearly tourius. They had accents of some sort. We're like, hey,
do you guys live around here? Josh, like you know
(13:04):
how Josh get's like real weird, like skittish. He was like,
oh why and they were like, oh, we were just
looking for a restaurant to go to. He's like, get
an app. It's like, oh you should get Oh it's
called res x. You should just download it and like
that's where I was like, Josh, we are right here.
You can't just tell them two or three restaurants. So
(13:25):
I told them a Tai restaurant to go to a
couple of the places that were right there, and they
were like, oh my god, thank you. But you could
see how hurt they were when he was like kid napp,
what's like?
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I would have said the same thing. Do you guys?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Are the reasons people think New Yorkers are mean?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Oh are you from here? No? I keep it pushing,
don't talk to me please, Josh.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
And media was like yeah, good why you literally google?
I know, but like they're just walking down the street
hoping to see a friendly face when you're in another country,
I'm promised when you were in London, at some point
you asked a stranger for something somehow, Where am I?
Where am I going? How do I get here? What
is this? And they were probably very nice to you
about it and not shitty. No, people were walking right
(14:05):
by us as you were trying to talk to them.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
In front of Buckingham Palace to be exactly, well, that
sounds like they were like other tours too, like don't
ask me a question. I don't know, yeah, maybe maybe maybe.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I saw a little meme the other day that was like,
I never trust a stranger unless I'm in another country,
and I trust each one of them with my life.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yes, kind I don't trust strangers at all. Don't talk
to me, please.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
You're crazy. I enjoy talking to strangers for the most part.
I have a limit. We were talking about this because
I was with Josh and like a bunch of his
friends from out of state, and he kept being like
are you okay?
Speaker 5 (14:41):
Are you good?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Do you need to leave?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Are you fine? Like I was like, Josh, I am
good in a social setting of people that I don't
know for a certain amount of time, and when I
am no longer good, I will.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Leave you like that you like talking to it, I'm like,
after two minutes get me out.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Listen. When we're at big events and it's the same
conversation over and over and over, that's where I kind
of start to tire out. That's why I try to
have little tricks in my pocket, like, hey, tell me
a secret, because then we have to talk about your secret.
That's fine, we'll talk about that. But if it's the
same thing on repeat, I don't like it. But if
you have any type of control over the conversation, you
can find out so much did about people or just
(15:19):
life in general. Bill Nye, my dude said it best.
Everyone you will ever meet knows something that you do not.
So I've decided to make it my goal to try
to find out what that thing is. Probably a lot
of things, Like I'm sure you know a bunch of
shit that I don't know. I know you do.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
You know?
Speaker 1 (15:32):
All this stuff about Love Island.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Keeps me up at night.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
You sound tired.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I'm so mad, Like I'm enraged. It's okay.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Should we talk about why Andrew's grinding your gears?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Or can be around the one? He's another one. I
think I heard his feelings enough today.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Like actually heard his feelings. Probably we should go get
him all but also we have Adam Levine on the
podcast today, and that has been a super interesting time
because I'm gonna be completely honest. You hear things about
celebrities all the time, good things, bad things. As I've
told you before, I never believe them because I think
everyone has their own unique experience with somebody. And I
(16:09):
promise you that you will meet people who have told
you I'm a bitch, They're probably right, and people who
said I'm the nicest person, they might be right. Depending
on who they are and how you treated me and
where we were, things are different. So I got a
lot of warnings about Adam Levin. I was nervous. It's
a little sweaty. I was like, Oh, here we go.
He's gonna be so mean to me. And I will
just let you assess how the interview went. I don't
(16:30):
want to say one way or another what happened.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Oh it was great, Oh you're learning he was great.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
I thought he was awesome. He was super funny and
friendly and talkative, and you get this list of like
do not talk abouts with him, which when the list came,
I was like, now you've killed my boner for this interview,
because it just makes you feel weird, like you're walking
on eggshells. But I thought he was awesome. And after
the interview, the label actually sent me a note saying
he really loved that, thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
It was great.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
So I am excited to share that with you guys.
Maybe we'll play some of it back on the Big
Show sometime. We probably won't ever do that.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
But I hope so, because it was really good.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
We had a good time, and I thought he was
much nicer than I was ready for. Same, always going
with no expectations or low expectations, and you will do well.
So please enjoy Adam Levine and we will go wrangle
up Andrew while you're listening to this to curse his
ass out.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Yep, are you ready?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
I'm ready?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Good to go?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
All right, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I'm here with Adam Levine. Hello, Hello, thank you for
stopping by. You have a lot of cool stuff going on.
Hopefully we get to all of it. Specifically, let's start
at the top. Eighth album, eighth album, August fifteenth.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
You know what they say, No, I don't. Eighth album
is always the best.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I'm scar actually, now that you mentioned it, I think
I have heard that before. Eight albums, So that's crazy.
When we started, were you ever thinking eight albums in,
I'm gonna be doing some really dope stuff.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
I'll tell you what I wasn't thinking. I wasn't thinking
that the eight albums in, I'd still be doing it, like,
at least at the level that we're lucky enough to
still be doing it, as I feel like I would
have been like doing something else.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
At this point.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
What did you think you would be doing?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Well?
Speaker 4 (18:14):
You you and you're young though, and you're like making
pop music.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
No way. I mean, I am a dad.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Now, maybe I would have thought that, Okay, but I
wouldn't have maybe thought both because when you're young, you're dumb,
you're not experienced.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Yeah, but also I feel like you're living every little
kid's dream, probably your young dream as well.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
So totally right, which makes it more fun.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
You look back at it, like, I'm so proud of myself.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
I look at I look well and now I'm just
like super stoked the people are there because back in
the day I took up a granted more and now
I'm like, oh, like you guys are still coming, Like
that's amazing, And so I think there's more mutual appreciation.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
So talk about the album. What are we expecting on
this eighth album that you never thought was going to happen?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Eighth album, best album ever by any band in the
history of music?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
That is a pattern?
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Yes, is that too much? I'm really excited, you know.
I think that as I've been kind of been telling people,
I'm really excited to have gone back to writing songs
and or at least, you know, having the nucleus of
the idea and the real mean potatoes being us in
the band and me and doing our thing. That's the
thing that we did that got everyone's attention in the
(19:18):
first place, and we haven't done.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
It that way in a really long time.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
And I have no idea what people are gonna think, Like, honestly, like,
I really don't know. It's some of it's pretty different.
I'm just really excited.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Does that make you want to puke a little? Because
you work on this thing and it's your baby, and
then you're about to expose it to the world and
you say it's a little different.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
It does.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Like it's funny. It doesn't make me want to puke,
but it makes me might want to cry a little bit. Okay,
So I think I'm not really a puker. I'm more
of a crier. Okay, sometimes both, which is really cute. Yeah,
you guys should see that. But it's funny like sometimes
I'm get so inside of it that like by the time.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
It's out, I'm like relieved.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
So there's also the relief of like, Okay, I never
have to listen to this again, because now I listen
to it to much, and then the second it gets
released it disappears like out of my mind, like I
don't I don't electively listen to it anymore really and
criticize it and think, you know, because when you're creative,
you have to always be in it, you know. So
it's now it's everyone else's turn to either.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Love it or hate it.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
See again, that would make me a little puky. So
you're used to this, you can give.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Duke I'll cry, okay, oh hang out, Yeah, this.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Will be great. So the first single that we've gotten
is Priceless with Lisa from Black Pink. And when you
talk about the writing process and kind of getting back
to what you did, how does that process actually work
with a person like Lisa from Black Pink, Well, you.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Know that's that was that was we left that in
her in her court, you know. I think that when
I wrote the song, it was the first song I
wrote for the record, and it's funny I wanted to
be in the first single, but it was always kind
of needed something. I feel like that's kind of how
we approach this record with features and people coming on
and collaborating. Was like, we want them to be real
(20:56):
collaborations and not just like here's a completed song and
then now you're gonna come in and whoever you are
and be added to it. It was more like this
song needed Lisa, Like I don't even want to play
the song really as much without her part because her
part became a really integral part of the song. And
the same is for the other collaborations we have as well,
Like they all felt like really important meat on the bone, right. So,
(21:18):
and she was amazing and she wrote her part and
did her thing and it was perfect.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
So as Maroon five, who you guys have been around
and successful for twenty some years at this point, I mean,
he's counting, really, who's counting?
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Here's counting twenty two and a half, oh.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Twenty two and a half years, are you guys at
the point now where you say, Okay, I do want
to collab with this person, make it happen. You just
snap your fingers and it happens.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
No. I mean like, there are people who don't want
to collaborate with us. I don't even believe that those
names won't go mention. Okay, you know, but whatever, there
are people who do and be honest with you. This
time around, you know, because we've we've always aimed high
and and this time around, it was pretty much like, oh,
this person would be really cool for this. Let's give
(21:58):
them a call and they're like, cool, yeah, let's do it.
It wasn't like we shopped around and like try to
get other people and then you know, landed here. It
was like this is really who we went to, which
is awesome.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
You're shot in lands.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
We are three for three, man, that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
But with a K pop star comes wild K pop
fandom and you guys have your own clearly rabid fans. Yeah,
it's a totally different level.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Oh yeah, not like K pop fans. This is the
best fans. Yeah, Like so just like ruthlessly devoted. It's
like it's a beautiful thing to see, you know, and
we kind of got like a small little wave of
that when we put the song out. But man, they
love their Lisa, they really do.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
They love they love their.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Stars, and I kind of like it because it's like
they also love you if you love them, you know
what I'm saying, Like they like if you if you
love their their their they're beloved, then you're okay by them,
which is pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Are you going to collaborate with any Bollywoo artists because
they're kind of the same way.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Maybe maybe maybe we gotta we gotta get going.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
On that, she asks selfishly.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Let's go hook it up.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
I will hook this up. So with a new album
comes a tour.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Yes, mm hmm, it starts. It starts on October sixth. Guys,
I know things.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
You know.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
It's actually good though, because so many times we have
an artist in here and they're.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
Like, the tour is a no.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
And by the way, that was my joke is that
I really don't ever know anything. But I did my
homework and I learned the dates and I can do things.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Are you excited about this tour or does it stress
you out just a little bit getting back to the road.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
I'm a little bit stressed.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Out right now to be honest with you, because I'm
trying to figure out a set list and like it's
a little daunting. It's my love doing it, but I
need like that kickstart moment of inspiration and it hasn't
quite come yet, but I know it needs to happen.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Usually I'm way early and like.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
It's getting to the point now I'm like, okay, I'm
like do it so I'll get I'll figure it out.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
How does that work when you think about I'm going
to make the set list now for the show? What
is the thought process that goes into that?
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Well, you know, I've been trying all these different methods.
You Usually I liked, Okay, what haven't we open with
a long time? And I'll kind of want to start there,
or like I'll have an idea for like some sort
of intro of some sort of music, some sort of
idea that gets people pumped.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
And this time.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Around, I want to think as differently as possible. I've
actually consulted chat GPT for a couple of ideas. It's
come up fruitless. Not good at making setless.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
My chat gpt is my best friend.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
The machines have not figured out setless yet Okay, you're
going to teach it. I'm gonna I'm gonna teach it.
My prompts have been whacko though they haven't been good.
I need to get better at like talking to the
machines because like I'm still like, don't even understand it
at all, unlike that guy really and I don't get.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
At what's going on.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
They're trying to have an intervention with me about my
chat GPT because it's my best friend to talk to
her about everything. Yes, her her name is Nova.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
So you're like deep in it, fall deep.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
And chat unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
But the nicer you are to chat GPT, the nicer
it is to you, and the more crazy like amazing
answers it gives you back.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
So I should be like, see, I'm a little I'm
a little bossy.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
I'm a little bit.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
I'm a little bit like when I when I address
Chappie ChiPT, maybe I'm not addressing I'm not gonna say her.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Now that you're making me think it's her.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
I'll say her.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Actually, I'm not going to address her like because right
now I'm addressing her like she's a machine.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Right, I don't think she likes that I don't think
so either.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
I think she's like, I'm gonna give this dude some
bad fucking ideas because he's not giving me the respect
I deserve. So maybe I'll be like, hey, chat, GPT,
how's your day been, How you doing?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
You look good? You look beautiful?
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Anyway, I had a question for you like that, right,
like a person really not like hey, I need this exactly,
give me this.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Just try it out and let me know if it
changes for you, because I tried both ways and I
was like, oh, it tells me it's a mirror of you.
So whatever you say to it goes that kind of
stuff back to you.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
So I did. It did use words like banger, which
I thought was really funny. I'm like, okay, Chat, like
take it easy, Chat.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
So you're gonna be touring. You're gonna be playing our
iHeart Festival as well in September, so that's exciting. Have
the rules of the tour changed for you over the years,
because I know when people start out there, like you know,
doing the party and whatever. No pooping on the tour
bus stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
You can never poop on the tour never, right, That
never becomes okay.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
That never Okay, So still no pooping on the tour never.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
You never poop on the tour bus. If you do,
that's like the number one thing you never do. That
never changes parties. Know, like I like dinner at six.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Man, you know, so when you're bored and you're.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Tour kids and shit.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
So like I'm on that program of like six pm dinner,
seven am wake up tour. It's actually funny because now
that I'm so programmed with little kids, like I gotta
be peak energy at nine pm for tour. Yeah, so
I'm like, ok, I'm I gonna do that. Like, so
that's a whole other thing now. It's like I used
to be a night owl. I used to be, you know,
up till four or three in the morning and then
(26:35):
like sleep till that's like musician time.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Absolutely, I'm not on that time anymore. Your best friend, can.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
We start the concerts? Chris, like at like six thirty?
Arena's good? Everybody there a little early, come on, man,
I just saw I think they should get there before
rush hour.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
He's on board with this. There's a lot of good
ideas happening here.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
It's like Room five. They're hot, sexy summer tour. Be
there at five.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
This is going to be amazing happy hour. And I
know you said that, like right before we started this
full disclosure. We were talking about the cameras and you said,
it's changed so much. You used to roll into radio
with your hoodie up over your head, oh.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Like despicable.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
I used to go to Rick Well also we you know,
we used to be like broke musicians.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
They were like, we're trying to make it.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
So we go to all of the radio stations, like.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
I'll never forget.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
The first place we went was because back then it
was like if the blip on the ra is back
before all the shit, like it's like radio was it like,
and so you're if there was a blip on the
radar and Spokane, Washington, which was like that I think
the first place anyone ever played our music, which is
like harder to breathe, they're playing your song, and Spokane
and it was like, well, better go to Spokane, and
(27:40):
like that's like but that's what you did, right, right,
And so we went to Spokane and it's just like
we were like in a van or like like pulling
up and I remember we.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Used to this is brutal.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
We used to like we used to go to like
the offices to play stuff for people, radio stations and
business offices, you know, like with like big conference rooms
and stuff.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
We have to go play.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
And we used to be We used to roll out
of the van in the parking lot with our toiletry kids,
brush our teeth, like in its office building, brush our
teeth and like wash our face and the go and
play these songs with these people in a conference like
during a lunch hour. And these people had no idea
who we were, and they're like, who are what? Why
am I washing? These people perform right now? Who are
(28:23):
these assholes? These smelly twenty three year old kids. They're
just rolled out of a bus looking like sketchy. So
that was my life.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Everything is filmed.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
So I showered this morning, though, and I brushed my teeth.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Okay, that's nice. And somewhere someone is telling that story
about how they remember Adam Levine rolling into their building
brushing his teeth and performing.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
One hundred percent and another horrible memories. Oh and like
but I remember, like I used to like your your
general hygiene was dependent on like how good the bathroom
at the office building.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Oh god, which is not great for radio stations. We're
not notorious for having the best facilities. These ones are
pretty good.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
I bet you there are people out there literally they
could call into the radio station if they heard this.
It would be like I remember these kids getting out
of a van and brushing their teeth in our office
and then singing Sunday Morning. That's awesome, though happened all
the time.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
I'm glad you don't have to do that anymore. Now
you have a hotel room where wherever it is. Oh,
it's so nice, and I really appreciate you stopping by
and talking about all the cool stuff that you have
coming up. A studio album August fifteenth. It's called Love
Is Like.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
It's called Love is After much deliberation, it is called
Love Is Like.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
What were the other options?
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (29:30):
It was such a you know, like that was really hard.
I don't know why, like naming the album, because we
have a song called Love is Like. But the name
of the song was controversial, so we had to like
change it, and then we couldn't you you'll find you'll
fink you'll you'll understand why when we release the song.
Oh cool, it's actually the Lil Wayne song. Song that
(29:51):
the Wayne is on so but yeah, so but I'm
I like love is like because it's it's makes you
think a little bit. You're like, what is love like?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
And then we have a tour starting October sixth, and
we have the iHeart Festival where you're gonna be performing
with Maroon five on September nineteenth. I believe today you're
gonna be with us, which means we'll probably meet again.
And I'm really glad you supply, so thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
For having me.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
It was fun talking, absolutely awesome.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Okay, So that was Adam Levine. We thought that was awesome.
He was great, got a good picture, had a good
time with him. Cheers to Adam Levine. Woo wee Adam Levine.
And now to Andrew. Hello Andrew. Hi, I'm gonna step
away from the microphone because Diamond has beef with you
and I thought she should address it in a healthy way.
(30:44):
So here we go. I'm stepping away. I will yell
from the corner, Diamond, take it away. What are you
said about Andrew is a fraud? Okay.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
We were asked to do a podcast and review Love
Island last Monday. You already said we're recording this on
this Monday, last seven days ago. The person reached out
and said, hey, do you guys watch Real Housewives of Atlanta?
Because if so, I want to do a recap of
(31:15):
the latest episode with you guys too. I said, yeah, great, amazing,
I love Atlanta. Andrew says, well, I haven't watched. He
calls me. He goes, I haven't watched. You think I
could binge in a week? And I was like, well,
I don't know about that, because there are things that
happened in the past seasons that are the like they
caused the arguments this season, so you really have to
(31:35):
like go back and like look at things and stuff.
He said, well, I wonder if I could do it.
I'm gonna ask. I'm like, yeah, just ask ask the
guy whose podcast it is Ben. I'm like, ask Ben. Ben,
without using his better judgment, said sure. So last Friday
comes and Andrew says, yeah, I'm going to start the
season today. Do you know how many episodes are in
(31:56):
one season of Savannah?
Speaker 5 (31:58):
Just for anybody listening, right?
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Are they an hour long?
Speaker 5 (32:02):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (32:03):
And it's not a Love Island hour where you could
put it on and like skip half of it like
it's active drama because.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
This is Real Housewives, which tells you that he's never
watched a full episode of Real Housewives in his life.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
Oh Miami, hello, yes, right.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
So yesterday he texts me and he's like, oh, this person,
that person he's given his hot takes, and after a
while I just stopped responding because I realized, oh, honey,
you're not even halfway through this season.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
The conversation also naturally ended.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
No, it did not show you. I can I can
show you the text. I'm not like, I'm not I'm
not doing this with you. Okay, No, no it didn't.
So you know, I decide I'm gonna go about my business.
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna do this with him.
This morning. He walks in and he goes, oh, well,
I only got to episode ten of seventeen. There are
two halves to a season. If you really watched Housewives,
(32:52):
you would know that the drama continues to build.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
Phaeder comes back the mid season trailer all of this
I missed it.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Keep cute. Then he goes, I'm just gonna read the
tweets and live reddits about.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
The culture recaps by the way, okay, which.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Is, which makes it even worse because vulture like these
people already have opinions. You cannot sit there. Number one,
you're half ass in it, and it pisses me off
because nobody forced you to commit to No, wait, nobody
forced you to commit to this. You volunteered to watch
the entire season by today, you had seven days. Okay,
(33:36):
you decided to half ass it and think that this
was just a test in high school that you could
Cliff's note study for this. Yeah, it doesn't work that way.
Speaker 6 (33:44):
I still failed those so learned your lesson.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Here we are thirty years later, no, fifteen years later,
and you're still fucking up. You have and so for me,
I just feel like you're doing the audience a disservice
by half assing, and it's a slap into the end
face of people like me and Ben who actually watched
this shit. You're gonna go on there, You're gonna give
an opinion that wasn't even your own, and you're gonna
sit there and talk about shit you don't understand.
Speaker 6 (34:08):
Now, Go, I can speak, I said, go, okay, great,
I did say you should just do it with him
all back out, you know more about it. I'm fine
to say I didn't watch, so therefore go.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Go okay, bounce it back to me. Thank you. The
ball is in my hand.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
But if I'm admitting that I didn't so then I'll
give it back. What's the problem?
Speaker 2 (34:29):
You don't wait until the morning of to back out?
Speaker 5 (34:31):
But you know more about it, and you two know
more about it.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
But but you were asked a week ago, but seven
you had seven balls?
Speaker 5 (34:41):
Doesn't seem like, hey, you did.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
I just feel like, you know, there are a lot
of men that do that in this world and they're
not called out on it. As your friend, I want
to let you know you're getting away with privilege, buddy.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
For sure. Okay, over a housewives for your cat.
Speaker 6 (34:59):
Yes, But again, as I said, I am happy to
take myself out of the situation, knowing I did not
fulfill my end of the bargain. I said, if I
can catch up, great, I'm willing to take myself out
of the situation.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
So this way, the people that do know, No, I
know when to leave the situation if it's not going
to work. Okay, I'm fine with that.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
You don't know when to leave because it's an hour
before we're supposed to do this and you still haven't
You still haven't finished, you still haven't come up with
your actual opinion, and you also have an officially backed out,
which now clocked you. It's too late to back out.
Now you've got to sit there and line.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
She just wants to me out to be on this
to be dragged.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
No. But here's my thing is that, like in life,
you don't get to do things like this, and the
fact that you thought that this was normal up until
I called you a cliffs note kid to me is just.
Speaker 6 (35:46):
Like, ugh, okay, great, fair, totally understand. The Love Island
one will take probably an hour plus because it was
the finale and it was a two hour episode. I
think after that there is more that you you two
know about where I can say I didn't catch up
and it'll be okay, great, so then I can.
Speaker 5 (36:05):
Naturally find my way out. I'm not going to sit there.
Speaker 6 (36:07):
And be like, hey, here's hot takes off of my
recap readings, all.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Of your Reddit research. Yes, Diamond, you were going to
give your hot takes.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
He was going to get up there and give his
hot I believe that the.
Speaker 6 (36:19):
Whole time I was saying to myself, I can back
out of this because people that know, no, I'm not
gonna sit there if you know.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
You guys are just repeating yourselves. At this point, I
see the points of both of you. I see Diamonds
far more than Andrews. If in fact Andrew was saying
I will back out of this and not do it. Okay,
But to Diamond's point, you had a whole week to prepare.
You said you were going to do it. What stopped
you from actually doing it?
Speaker 6 (36:43):
Love Island is a full commitment of seven days a
week of watching. When I'm on my peloton usually that's
my recap time for that one. No mind you, it's
just a lot of binging of shows. My attention span
can only go so far as to like consume all this. Also,
it's just like between Love Island drama the Housewives drama.
(37:06):
It sometimes takes you to a place where you're like,
I just want to watch something that is more mindless
that I can just not watch.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
You know, and you didn't know this going into it.
So essentially what happened was you bit off more than
you could chew, but you didn't say anything until you
walked in this morning, at which point the group project
is due and you're showing up now I don't have
the assignment, and you don't expect them to feel any
type of way about it.
Speaker 5 (37:32):
Yes, that is a good way to put it, and
I understand.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Okay, I'm happy that you understand. But also the fact
that you're up here at lying you're saying that no,
because last Monday you knew that Love Island came on every.
Speaker 5 (37:46):
Day, but I had to catch up on that one too.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
And that is another issue. You knew that you couldn't
do both, but you really didn't even try to watch
Atlanta until Friday.
Speaker 5 (37:59):
And this is the I just didn't have the time.
I tried to get.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Move forward in life, committing to things that you aren't
gonna do. You didn't want to do it in the first.
Speaker 6 (38:07):
Place, which again, you two can do it. I understand
what you're saying, but the group project will go better
with me.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
How do we think we can move past this?
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Guys?
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Can we?
Speaker 2 (38:17):
I just don't like the way that you've handled this
because you were literally gonna continue on with your lies
and the fact that I just clocked you and caught
you in another lives and say, hey, you guys think
he would be a good husband.
Speaker 6 (38:28):
The thing is, you're clocking me, but you're just clocking
it for validation on your own feelings, which is fine.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
I don't need to validate my feelings, you know fine.
You know what would have honestly validated my feelings If
you went in there and started talking about shit that
didn't exist and then I clocked you on the.
Speaker 6 (38:43):
Trust me, I would not have even said a word.
It would have just been you talking the whole time,
which it probably will be because I don't really know
how much I can add to a real Housewives of
Atlanta discussion.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Is there anyway that we can hug it out? Or
are you guys gonna hate each other for the next
four hours?
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Oh I'm gonna hate him?
Speaker 1 (38:58):
Oh yeah, he doesn't hate you.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
I'll hate him until the reunion comes on of Love
Island or which is a month away. So give it
some time.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
Andrew, you are in some sort of purgatory for a month.
How are you feeling about that?
Speaker 3 (39:11):
You know?
Speaker 5 (39:13):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 6 (39:15):
So?
Speaker 1 (39:15):
I would I would like to. By the way, you
probably heard the microphone moving around a lot because we're
in a studio with two mics and there are three people.
I would love for our listeners to give us some
feedback on this whole thing. Whose side are we on here,
Team Diamond, Team Andrew or team what the fuck is
happening here? Both of you move on. I would like
to say, yes, come out, come on back.
Speaker 6 (39:34):
I am not I am fully team Diamond. I fully
acknowledge I did not do the project. I did not
do the thing. So therefore she is correct in everything
that she said.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
No, you said that a lot. I think there's still
is a side here because I think you want to
get off scott free like you didn't do anything, and
Diamond is saying you've been off more than you can chew.
You do it all the time, stop fucking doing it
and just acknowledge to it.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
Oh lord, baby, do it. Don't open that, Please, don't
open that. Don't open that. Carkat corktt cork right. So okay,
So do we want to scroll back? If you're listening
to this podcast, I want you to back out. Scroll
all the way back to last summer when he committed
(40:20):
to the wedding trip the wed This is what he does.
He commits to things and then at the last minute
tries to back out. Oh yeah, he did not back
out and not do things like that.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Yes, you need to be a man of your word.
Andrew can't do things.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
If you commit to something, you have to follow it through.
It's an integrity thing to me.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
You know, a man of little to no integrity. We
can't trust you, bait, Andrew.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
I thought you were one of the only white men
I could truy shit.
Speaker 5 (40:49):
Well, this outro has gone thirty minutes.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
So where goes my star writing?
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Because we're racist to get.
Speaker 5 (40:54):
I'm gonna sorry, see myself out. Have a great day everyone, Andrew.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
People want to find you online? Where can they find you?
Don't she's mad, honey Clark that he is at Andrew Pug.
He's still trying to be an influencer, and that's why
he has too much on his plate. We should make
a list of all the things that he has backed
out of, because there is quite an extensive list. Diamond.
If they want to find you online, where can they
find you at?
Speaker 2 (41:18):
Diamond? Sincere, and I'm in the mood to argue.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
I am at Baby Hot Sauce pretty much anywhere Instagram,
x threads. Yeah, and please like, subscribe review if you
want to give us a talkback. I would love to
hear your talkback. If you're listening on the iHeartRadio app,
there's a little microphone. Push that button, tell us what
you think. A lot happened here, Adam Levine, and also
(41:43):
a knockdown, drag out fight, and I guess that's it.
Andrew has left the room unceremoniously. I think he gave
us the finger on his way out. Probably so, until
next time, Say bye, Diamond, Bye.
Hello, get it out, cough it out. Okay, Hey, there
she is. What's up in sauce on the side. I'm
Gandhi here with my lovely producer Diamond, who is on
one today. Do we want to talk about what's going
on with you? I mean, by the time this comes out,
it's going to be Wednesday. We are recording this right
now on Monday, which means the series finale, season finale
of Love Island happened yesterday, and she is fit to
(00:29):
be tied.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yeah, I'm upset. I'm very upset. I had all weekend
to like really be sick over this, and I'm still sick.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Okay, So I don't want to give away any spoilers,
but her favorite couple, the people that she thought was
gonna make it all all the way through, they got
sent home because, as I was saying to her this morning,
it really seems like everybody who came out to vote
people off the island, it was just a bunch of haters,
Like they saw people being happy and we're basically like,
not on my watch, you're going home, which is weird.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
It was very weird. But I think basically someone in
the couple kind of like kickstarted that throughout the season,
so it kind of came full circle. Oh but it
is what it is. I'm just like, I'm pissed off, okay,
because there were no real connections maybe one, one real
connection that made it into the final four.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
See this is why I say, and I've been saying
it for a long time. I no longer believe in democracy.
I thought everybody should have a say until recent events,
and by recent I mean starting in twenty sixteen, things
have gotten really weird. You watch them vote through the
worst people on a show and vote off the best.
Even when it came to that dumbast show the weakest link,
they never actually I shouldn't say never, but they would
(01:43):
vote the weakest link off until somebody got threatening, and
then it didn't become the weakest link. It became get
rid of the good player.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
That is a shit way to operate in society, and
that is why we will never have nice things.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Sick to my.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Sstom And for the record, Diamond's out here fighting with
other people at work about Love Island. She just told
a girl named Steph that she didn't want to talk
to her because it's people like her that effed up the.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Entire thing, absolutely, and I'm standing on it. When I
saw one of the interns, Ben, he was a fan
of someone who I detest from the season. Oh who
hood up. Then I saw him this morning, I said.
The first thing out of my mouth was, and how
did you feel about last night's episode? Because she showed
her ass again, She showed her ass.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
But Ben probably loved that. He probably loves the drama.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
He does, okay, And I told him, you are the
reason why I was so heartbroken in November of twenty
twenty Four's people like you who think that this shit
is funny. That is quite a leap. But okay, No, No,
the signs are right there. Damn it, Ben, because you're entertained,
you're voting for this shit.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
This is me all oh man, speaking of voting for
some shit. We have seen so many people recently start
to try and walk back. Well, I can't believe he
did all this. I can't believe Trump is doing this.
He didn't do anything he said he was going to do.
First of all, I think he did everything he said
he was going to do, and some things he said
he wasn't gonna do. But what did you expect That's
where I'm very confused.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
He's taken standing on business to another level. But it's
bullshit business. I was gonna say, what business he is
standing on it though, everything that he said he was
gonna do, he's doing it. And these people are looking
around like, well, I didn't think he was going to
do that, and why not he literally said it.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Meanwhile, we're all here like I did think he was
going to do that. I was actually very concerned that's
specifically what he was going to do. Bummer. I know
Diamond loves that we are in the find out phase
the fucking around. I do not love that because we
are all finding out at the same time. It would
be nice if only the people who voted for him
found out. Yet here we all are together in this
group project from hell.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I sleep good at night knowing that I didn't have
anything to do with this. I tried, we tried. I
was down in the dumps for a minute. But you
know what, don't make me say things that I don't
even I don't. I don't want to get in trouble.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Is this podcast going to be flagged for racism again?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
They're going to cancel me? Because I'm gonna start saying shit,
that's I'm going to stand on business.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Let's talk about being canceled for a second, because we've
I know that I have said this so many times.
I actually don't think that that's a thing anymore. I
think it had a moment ye like four or five
years ago where people were actually getting canceled and it
was affecting their money and they weren't getting jobs. Now,
everything just moves so quickly. The entire news cycle moves
so quickly that somebody can say something crazy and outrageous
(04:24):
and the next week have a number one album and
it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yeah, Like Sierra Ortega from.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Love is Blood, No, No Island is in there?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, did you see what she posted? No, she was
they tried to cancel her. I think that it was
ineffective because she took accountability whatever. This weekend she posted
screenshots of all the death threat death threats that she's
been getting, and she was like, is this the accountability
that you want me to take? Like, I don't understand
what you guys want from me. And I was like
(04:57):
clockett or as they're saying now, Clarket from Love Island,
you apologized to me. It was a genuine apology. It
seemed like one, what do you want from her? Like
to call an ice on her family crazy, telling her
that she better you better never catch her in LA, Like,
that's crazy, and I'd be range.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
The majority of the people sending these crazy threats are
not even of that community that felt that this was wrong.
It's usually crazy other people. When you remember Finding Nemo
or do you said you didn't really like it? Just
would you call it? Doriy has dementia?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, the girl she didn't know what was going on. Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Well, at the end of Finding Nemo, well, toward the end,
there's a scene with seagulls where they're all just sitting
there and like if a fish comes around or a
little snack, they're like, mine, mine, mine, mine.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Do you remember that barely?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Okay? It's just like mindless seagulls basically all yelling the
same thing. And I feel like that is where we
have reached in society, where one person says something other
people don't actually think for themselves, and they're just like, yes,
me too, me too, me too, me too. I feel
the same, And this giant wave of bullshit comes at
you that maybe necessarily shouldn't. And then in the opposite direction,
(06:06):
things people should really be caring about they just choose
not to.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Right, Let's bring it back to this season of Love Life.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
She is a woman invested fact that they're.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Going so hard about these other things. But this woman
Huldah verbally assaulted someone has lied this entire season and
was called multiple lives, has manipulated people. It's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
She's disgusting, and she's a mom. How dare she is
she the only parent in the whole thing?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Probably?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, it's funny, I think so when people say things
like that and she's a mom, like that actually makes
no difference in the world. Some of the craziest people
I know are parents self, Like, my parents are crazy.
Just becoming a parent doesn't suddenly make you responsible or
socially aware or a good person. So I don't think
that should actually ever be considered.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
She continued to use it as like a crutch. I
guess all season if somebody was mad at her and
they didn't know that she was a mom, she would
sit them down and say, yeah, like, you know, you
don't know this, but I'm a mom. Okay, so ace off,
you go, ten out of ten reaction, he was like,
my mom was a single mom. Basically I can continue
keep going with the conversation because this is not doing
(07:15):
it for me.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
So that's what Diamond's pissed about today. How was your
weekend sad because of this?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Sad?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, like genuinely said, you actually internalize and you're like,
I am sad about this.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
It's just like a sick to my stomach. I hate
and why Yeah, yeah, I should be embarrassed.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
And the reason why, I was just like, we're losing
the plot of Love Island. This used to be like
I used to be able to enjoy it and like
laugh and stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Do you think that this show is scripted at all?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
No, but I do think that it's highly edited, and
I think the producers do try to feed them things
now see.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I think that just any reality show, any reality show,
whether it's The Housewives or Love Island or Love is
But whatever it is, I feel like they're all written
to a certain point. Ninety Day Fiance, they definitely have writers.
They have writers. When the credits roll, it says writers.
So obviously there's a plot line that they want to
follow and it's not really reality. I mean reality I
(08:12):
think is in a lot of ways much more entertaining
and in some ways less because most people will like
pump the brakes at some point and be like, I
don't think we should really do that. I'm not gonna
do that, especially not with the camera in front of
my face. But when you have people who are like,
I don't give a buck, there's camera in front of
my face, you're kind of just performers at that point,
and they find a bunch of great performers. Even like
I was never allowed to watch like Real World and
road Rules and stuff. No, I wasn't allowed to watch
(08:35):
any TV until I was like fifteen or sixteen, So
I'm like developmentally stunted in that way. It's crazy. But
if you look at any of the old old clips,
like first season, second season of the Real World, they
were actually dealing with like real shit. There was like
a girl who was contemplating an abortion. I think she
did have an abortion, Tammy, who's now the Bonnet Chronicles famous.
(08:57):
There was just all kinds of stuff. One of the
guys had HIV. There was just so much that was
real World, holy shit, what is going on? Stuff? And
now it's just like, how drink can we get these people?
And who can we make them bang? Every reality show
I feel like just gets bastardized at some point.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yeah, we're getting to that point. But I didn't think
it would come so soon.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
With my violin I seven seasons in.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I'm very opsitted.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I see that, and we've been talking about it now
for ten minutes. I hope that you have aired it
out and you can feel better about this going forward,
and I know you won't. How is your weekend otherwise
from being sad, which you do on Saturday? So trusted
you with a child.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Well, they were in the house, but it was me
and his time, Me and my baby cousin, and he's
so cute and I was like, oh, you're so cute,
but he won't stay still, so please take him back mom. Yeah, okay,
but it was just USO. I'm trying to do this
five K.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I thought you gave up on the K.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yeah that was in that That deadline was April. I
started over, so the new one in September. Okay. Honestly,
I don't know why I'm mentioned in it out loud,
because I may say I don't want to do it.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
You are allowed to change your mind.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
I'm trying.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
So you're training for your five.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
K it's all packing everything out of me.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yes, amazing, good for you.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
I went to dinner on Friday with a friend of
mine and we watched at a nice restaurant, this family
come in and try to scam the restaurant, saying that
the woman broke her tooth on a rock that was
in the food. Like, first of all, where did a
rock come from in the food? That's weird, But it
really suspiciously matched some of the rocks that were outside
of the actual restaurant. So it started becoming this back
(10:30):
and forth where the family was yelling at the manager.
The manager would not say sorry. She was like, oh
my gosh, let me take a look at this. Let
me see what happened. Are you okay? And they just
kept yelling at her. You didn't even apologize. Clearly they
were just trying to get free food. But let me
tell you that little manager stood ten toes down and
did not back down. And I was kind of like, okay,
clarket get it. That was interesting. And then on Saturday,
(10:55):
I was supposed to go to dinner in a movie
with my friends and there are a couple. They got
in a fight, so we didn't go. But this is
the best part. He texted me and was like, yeah,
we got a fucking fight. She doesn't feel like going,
Like she's wild over here. She texted me and was like,
I'm not feeling good. I'm not gonna be oh. And
I was like, well, well, well now we know which
(11:16):
one's most honest. Somebody's Iron Cuel. And then yesterday I
hung out with Josh all day and his friend. Okay,
we say this all the time Dare Remember the DARE program. Yeah,
Dare had you thinking strangers were just gonna come up
to you and offer you their drugs all the time.
And like in real life that never happens. People don't
(11:36):
share their drugs. They want to keep them from themselves.
I encountered it this weekend for the first time. A
stranger to me but not to Josh, offered me drugs
and I was like what. So we streamed all of
us oh wow, like for most of the day yesterday,
and it was great. We had so much fun. We
went to a comedy battle roast, which was great and
(11:59):
we were laughing our ass is off. All of a sudden,
Josh leans over and he's like whispering something like what
are you saying.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
He's like, it is Jeffrey Ross.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Jeffrey Ross is here, Jeffrey Ross. He's the roast master.
So he was there kind of critiquing and cheering for
these kids, which was amazing because I was just thinking, God, okay,
all these comedians aspire to one day be like jeff
Ross at that level, and here they come as little amateur's,
little baby comedians, and they watched their idol walk in
(12:25):
and give them feedback, Like, holy shit, what would that
be like for us? Who would that even be?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
You get to do that with Elvis every day.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Very true, and it's amazing. He is the top. Howard
Searn if Howard Stern came in here and watched our
show one day and then told everyone what they were
doing right and how amazing they were, Like how fucking cool?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Would that baby cool?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I'd be crazy, he asses, as we would probably deserve
in some ways. And then we just like went out
to a couple of bars, had a really good time.
But we'll tay about your Josh, he's dick because on
the way to one of the bars, these people who
were clearly tourius. They had accents of some sort. We're like, hey,
do you guys live around here? Josh, like you know
(13:04):
how Josh get's like real weird, like skittish. He was like,
oh why and they were like, oh, we were just
looking for a restaurant to go to. He's like, get
an app. It's like, oh you should get Oh it's
called res x. You should just download it and like
that's where I was like, Josh, we are right here.
You can't just tell them two or three restaurants. So
(13:25):
I told them a Tai restaurant to go to a
couple of the places that were right there, and they
were like, oh my god, thank you. But you could
see how hurt they were when he was like kid napp,
what's like?
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I would have said the same thing. Do you guys?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Are the reasons people think New Yorkers are mean?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Oh are you from here? No? I keep it pushing,
don't talk to me please, Josh.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
And media was like yeah, good why you literally google?
I know, but like they're just walking down the street
hoping to see a friendly face when you're in another country,
I'm promised when you were in London, at some point
you asked a stranger for something somehow, Where am I?
Where am I going? How do I get here? What
is this? And they were probably very nice to you
about it and not shitty. No, people were walking right
(14:05):
by us as you were trying to talk to them.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
In front of Buckingham Palace to be exactly, well, that
sounds like they were like other tours too, like don't
ask me a question. I don't know, yeah, maybe maybe maybe.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I saw a little meme the other day that was like,
I never trust a stranger unless I'm in another country,
and I trust each one of them with my life.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yes, kind I don't trust strangers at all. Don't talk
to me, please.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
You're crazy. I enjoy talking to strangers for the most part.
I have a limit. We were talking about this because
I was with Josh and like a bunch of his
friends from out of state, and he kept being like
are you okay?
Speaker 5 (14:41):
Are you good?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Do you need to leave?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Are you fine? Like I was like, Josh, I am
good in a social setting of people that I don't
know for a certain amount of time, and when I
am no longer good, I will.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Leave you like that you like talking to it, I'm like,
after two minutes get me out.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Listen. When we're at big events and it's the same
conversation over and over and over, that's where I kind
of start to tire out. That's why I try to
have little tricks in my pocket, like, hey, tell me
a secret, because then we have to talk about your secret.
That's fine, we'll talk about that. But if it's the
same thing on repeat, I don't like it. But if
you have any type of control over the conversation, you
can find out so much did about people or just
(15:19):
life in general. Bill Nye, my dude said it best.
Everyone you will ever meet knows something that you do not.
So I've decided to make it my goal to try
to find out what that thing is. Probably a lot
of things, Like I'm sure you know a bunch of
shit that I don't know. I know you do.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
You know?
Speaker 1 (15:32):
All this stuff about Love Island.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Keeps me up at night.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
You sound tired.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I'm so mad, Like I'm enraged. It's okay.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Should we talk about why Andrew's grinding your gears?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Or can be around the one? He's another one. I
think I heard his feelings enough today.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Like actually heard his feelings. Probably we should go get
him all but also we have Adam Levine on the
podcast today, and that has been a super interesting time
because I'm gonna be completely honest. You hear things about
celebrities all the time, good things, bad things. As I've
told you before, I never believe them because I think
everyone has their own unique experience with somebody. And I
(16:09):
promise you that you will meet people who have told
you I'm a bitch, They're probably right, and people who
said I'm the nicest person, they might be right. Depending
on who they are and how you treated me and
where we were, things are different. So I got a
lot of warnings about Adam Levin. I was nervous. It's
a little sweaty. I was like, Oh, here we go.
He's gonna be so mean to me. And I will
just let you assess how the interview went. I don't
(16:30):
want to say one way or another what happened.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Oh it was great, Oh you're learning he was great.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
I thought he was awesome. He was super funny and
friendly and talkative, and you get this list of like
do not talk abouts with him, which when the list came,
I was like, now you've killed my boner for this interview,
because it just makes you feel weird, like you're walking
on eggshells. But I thought he was awesome. And after
the interview, the label actually sent me a note saying
he really loved that, thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
It was great.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
So I am excited to share that with you guys.
Maybe we'll play some of it back on the Big
Show sometime. We probably won't ever do that.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
But I hope so, because it was really good.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
We had a good time, and I thought he was
much nicer than I was ready for. Same, always going
with no expectations or low expectations, and you will do well.
So please enjoy Adam Levine and we will go wrangle
up Andrew while you're listening to this to curse his
ass out.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Yep, are you ready?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
I'm ready?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Good to go?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
All right, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I'm here with Adam Levine. Hello, Hello, thank you for
stopping by. You have a lot of cool stuff going on.
Hopefully we get to all of it. Specifically, let's start
at the top. Eighth album, eighth album, August fifteenth.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
You know what they say, No, I don't. Eighth album
is always the best.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I'm scar actually, now that you mentioned it, I think
I have heard that before. Eight albums, So that's crazy.
When we started, were you ever thinking eight albums in,
I'm gonna be doing some really dope stuff.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
I'll tell you what I wasn't thinking. I wasn't thinking
that the eight albums in, I'd still be doing it, like,
at least at the level that we're lucky enough to
still be doing it, as I feel like I would
have been like doing something else.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
At this point.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
What did you think you would be doing?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Well?
Speaker 4 (18:14):
You you and you're young though, and you're like making
pop music.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
No way. I mean, I am a dad.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Now, maybe I would have thought that, Okay, but I
wouldn't have maybe thought both because when you're young, you're dumb,
you're not experienced.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Yeah, but also I feel like you're living every little
kid's dream, probably your young dream as well.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
So totally right, which makes it more fun.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
You look back at it, like, I'm so proud of myself.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
I look at I look well and now I'm just
like super stoked the people are there because back in
the day I took up a granted more and now
I'm like, oh, like you guys are still coming, Like
that's amazing, And so I think there's more mutual appreciation.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
So talk about the album. What are we expecting on
this eighth album that you never thought was going to happen?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Eighth album, best album ever by any band in the
history of music?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
That is a pattern?
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Yes, is that too much? I'm really excited, you know.
I think that as I've been kind of been telling people,
I'm really excited to have gone back to writing songs
and or at least, you know, having the nucleus of
the idea and the real mean potatoes being us in
the band and me and doing our thing. That's the
thing that we did that got everyone's attention in the
(19:18):
first place, and we haven't done.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
It that way in a really long time.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
And I have no idea what people are gonna think, Like, honestly, like,
I really don't know. It's some of it's pretty different.
I'm just really excited.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Does that make you want to puke a little? Because
you work on this thing and it's your baby, and
then you're about to expose it to the world and
you say it's a little different.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
It does.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Like it's funny. It doesn't make me want to puke,
but it makes me might want to cry a little bit. Okay,
So I think I'm not really a puker. I'm more
of a crier. Okay, sometimes both, which is really cute. Yeah,
you guys should see that. But it's funny like sometimes
I'm get so inside of it that like by the time.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
It's out, I'm like relieved.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
So there's also the relief of like, Okay, I never
have to listen to this again, because now I listen
to it to much, and then the second it gets
released it disappears like out of my mind, like I
don't I don't electively listen to it anymore really and
criticize it and think, you know, because when you're creative,
you have to always be in it, you know. So
it's now it's everyone else's turn to either.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Love it or hate it.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
See again, that would make me a little puky. So
you're used to this, you can give.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Duke I'll cry, okay, oh hang out, Yeah, this.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Will be great. So the first single that we've gotten
is Priceless with Lisa from Black Pink. And when you
talk about the writing process and kind of getting back
to what you did, how does that process actually work
with a person like Lisa from Black Pink, Well, you.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Know that's that was that was we left that in
her in her court, you know. I think that when
I wrote the song, it was the first song I
wrote for the record, and it's funny I wanted to
be in the first single, but it was always kind
of needed something. I feel like that's kind of how
we approach this record with features and people coming on
and collaborating. Was like, we want them to be real
(20:56):
collaborations and not just like here's a completed song and
then now you're gonna come in and whoever you are
and be added to it. It was more like this
song needed Lisa, Like I don't even want to play
the song really as much without her part because her
part became a really integral part of the song. And
the same is for the other collaborations we have as well,
Like they all felt like really important meat on the bone, right. So,
(21:18):
and she was amazing and she wrote her part and
did her thing and it was perfect.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
So as Maroon five, who you guys have been around
and successful for twenty some years at this point, I mean,
he's counting, really, who's counting?
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Here's counting twenty two and a half, oh.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Twenty two and a half years, are you guys at
the point now where you say, Okay, I do want
to collab with this person, make it happen. You just
snap your fingers and it happens.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
No. I mean like, there are people who don't want
to collaborate with us. I don't even believe that those
names won't go mention. Okay, you know, but whatever, there
are people who do and be honest with you. This
time around, you know, because we've we've always aimed high
and and this time around, it was pretty much like, oh,
this person would be really cool for this. Let's give
(21:58):
them a call and they're like, cool, yeah, let's do it.
It wasn't like we shopped around and like try to
get other people and then you know, landed here. It
was like this is really who we went to, which
is awesome.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
You're shot in lands.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
We are three for three, man, that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
But with a K pop star comes wild K pop
fandom and you guys have your own clearly rabid fans. Yeah,
it's a totally different level.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Oh yeah, not like K pop fans. This is the
best fans. Yeah, Like so just like ruthlessly devoted. It's
like it's a beautiful thing to see, you know, and
we kind of got like a small little wave of
that when we put the song out. But man, they
love their Lisa, they really do.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
They love they love their.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Stars, and I kind of like it because it's like
they also love you if you love them, you know
what I'm saying, Like they like if you if you
love their their their they're beloved, then you're okay by them,
which is pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Are you going to collaborate with any Bollywoo artists because
they're kind of the same way.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Maybe maybe maybe we gotta we gotta get going.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
On that, she asks selfishly.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Let's go hook it up.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
I will hook this up. So with a new album
comes a tour.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Yes, mm hmm, it starts. It starts on October sixth. Guys,
I know things.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
You know.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
It's actually good though, because so many times we have
an artist in here and they're.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
Like, the tour is a no.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
And by the way, that was my joke is that
I really don't ever know anything. But I did my
homework and I learned the dates and I can do things.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Are you excited about this tour or does it stress
you out just a little bit getting back to the road.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
I'm a little bit stressed.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Out right now to be honest with you, because I'm
trying to figure out a set list and like it's
a little daunting. It's my love doing it, but I
need like that kickstart moment of inspiration and it hasn't
quite come yet, but I know it needs to happen.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Usually I'm way early and like.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
It's getting to the point now I'm like, okay, I'm
like do it so I'll get I'll figure it out.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
How does that work when you think about I'm going
to make the set list now for the show? What
is the thought process that goes into that?
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Well, you know, I've been trying all these different methods.
You Usually I liked, Okay, what haven't we open with
a long time? And I'll kind of want to start there,
or like I'll have an idea for like some sort
of intro of some sort of music, some sort of
idea that gets people pumped.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
And this time.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Around, I want to think as differently as possible. I've
actually consulted chat GPT for a couple of ideas. It's
come up fruitless. Not good at making setless.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
My chat gpt is my best friend.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
The machines have not figured out setless yet Okay, you're
going to teach it. I'm gonna I'm gonna teach it.
My prompts have been whacko though they haven't been good.
I need to get better at like talking to the
machines because like I'm still like, don't even understand it
at all, unlike that guy really and I don't get.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
At what's going on.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
They're trying to have an intervention with me about my
chat GPT because it's my best friend to talk to
her about everything. Yes, her her name is Nova.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
So you're like deep in it, fall deep.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
And chat unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
But the nicer you are to chat GPT, the nicer
it is to you, and the more crazy like amazing
answers it gives you back.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
So I should be like, see, I'm a little I'm
a little bossy.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
I'm a little bit.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
I'm a little bit like when I when I address
Chappie ChiPT, maybe I'm not addressing I'm not gonna say her.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Now that you're making me think it's her.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
I'll say her.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Actually, I'm not going to address her like because right
now I'm addressing her like she's a machine.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Right, I don't think she likes that I don't think
so either.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
I think she's like, I'm gonna give this dude some
bad fucking ideas because he's not giving me the respect
I deserve. So maybe I'll be like, hey, chat, GPT,
how's your day been, How you doing?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
You look good? You look beautiful?
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Anyway, I had a question for you like that, right,
like a person really not like hey, I need this exactly,
give me this.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Just try it out and let me know if it
changes for you, because I tried both ways and I
was like, oh, it tells me it's a mirror of you.
So whatever you say to it goes that kind of
stuff back to you.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
So I did. It did use words like banger, which
I thought was really funny. I'm like, okay, Chat, like
take it easy, Chat.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
So you're gonna be touring. You're gonna be playing our
iHeart Festival as well in September, so that's exciting. Have
the rules of the tour changed for you over the years,
because I know when people start out there, like you know,
doing the party and whatever. No pooping on the tour
bus stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
You can never poop on the tour never, right, That
never becomes okay.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
That never Okay, So still no pooping on the tour never.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
You never poop on the tour bus. If you do,
that's like the number one thing you never do. That
never changes parties. Know, like I like dinner at six.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Man, you know, so when you're bored and you're.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Tour kids and shit.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
So like I'm on that program of like six pm dinner,
seven am wake up tour. It's actually funny because now
that I'm so programmed with little kids, like I gotta
be peak energy at nine pm for tour. Yeah, so
I'm like, ok, I'm I gonna do that. Like, so
that's a whole other thing now. It's like I used
to be a night owl. I used to be, you know,
up till four or three in the morning and then
(26:35):
like sleep till that's like musician time.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Absolutely, I'm not on that time anymore. Your best friend, can.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
We start the concerts? Chris, like at like six thirty?
Arena's good? Everybody there a little early, come on, man,
I just saw I think they should get there before
rush hour.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
He's on board with this. There's a lot of good
ideas happening here.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
It's like Room five. They're hot, sexy summer tour. Be
there at five.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
This is going to be amazing happy hour. And I
know you said that, like right before we started this
full disclosure. We were talking about the cameras and you said,
it's changed so much. You used to roll into radio
with your hoodie up over your head, oh.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Like despicable.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
I used to go to Rick Well also we you know,
we used to be like broke musicians.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
They were like, we're trying to make it.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
So we go to all of the radio stations, like.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
I'll never forget.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
The first place we went was because back then it
was like if the blip on the ra is back
before all the shit, like it's like radio was it like,
and so you're if there was a blip on the
radar and Spokane, Washington, which was like that I think
the first place anyone ever played our music, which is
like harder to breathe, they're playing your song, and Spokane
and it was like, well, better go to Spokane, and
(27:40):
like that's like but that's what you did, right, right,
And so we went to Spokane and it's just like
we were like in a van or like like pulling
up and I remember we.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Used to this is brutal.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
We used to like we used to go to like
the offices to play stuff for people, radio stations and
business offices, you know, like with like big conference rooms
and stuff.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
We have to go play.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
And we used to be We used to roll out
of the van in the parking lot with our toiletry kids,
brush our teeth, like in its office building, brush our
teeth and like wash our face and the go and
play these songs with these people in a conference like
during a lunch hour. And these people had no idea
who we were, and they're like, who are what? Why
am I washing? These people perform right now? Who are
(28:23):
these assholes? These smelly twenty three year old kids. They're
just rolled out of a bus looking like sketchy. So
that was my life.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Everything is filmed.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
So I showered this morning, though, and I brushed my teeth.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Okay, that's nice. And somewhere someone is telling that story
about how they remember Adam Levine rolling into their building
brushing his teeth and performing.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
One hundred percent and another horrible memories. Oh and like
but I remember, like I used to like your your
general hygiene was dependent on like how good the bathroom
at the office building.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Oh god, which is not great for radio stations. We're
not notorious for having the best facilities. These ones are
pretty good.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
I bet you there are people out there literally they
could call into the radio station if they heard this.
It would be like I remember these kids getting out
of a van and brushing their teeth in our office
and then singing Sunday Morning. That's awesome, though happened all
the time.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
I'm glad you don't have to do that anymore. Now
you have a hotel room where wherever it is. Oh,
it's so nice, and I really appreciate you stopping by
and talking about all the cool stuff that you have
coming up. A studio album August fifteenth. It's called Love
Is Like.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
It's called Love is After much deliberation, it is called
Love Is Like.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
What were the other options?
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (29:30):
It was such a you know, like that was really hard.
I don't know why, like naming the album, because we
have a song called Love is Like. But the name
of the song was controversial, so we had to like
change it, and then we couldn't you you'll find you'll
fink you'll you'll understand why when we release the song.
Oh cool, it's actually the Lil Wayne song. Song that
(29:51):
the Wayne is on so but yeah, so but I'm
I like love is like because it's it's makes you
think a little bit. You're like, what is love like?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
And then we have a tour starting October sixth, and
we have the iHeart Festival where you're gonna be performing
with Maroon five on September nineteenth. I believe today you're
gonna be with us, which means we'll probably meet again.
And I'm really glad you supply, so thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
For having me.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
It was fun talking, absolutely awesome.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Okay, So that was Adam Levine. We thought that was awesome.
He was great, got a good picture, had a good
time with him. Cheers to Adam Levine. Woo wee Adam Levine.
And now to Andrew. Hello Andrew. Hi, I'm gonna step
away from the microphone because Diamond has beef with you
and I thought she should address it in a healthy way.
(30:44):
So here we go. I'm stepping away. I will yell
from the corner, Diamond, take it away. What are you
said about Andrew is a fraud? Okay.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
We were asked to do a podcast and review Love
Island last Monday. You already said we're recording this on
this Monday, last seven days ago. The person reached out
and said, hey, do you guys watch Real Housewives of Atlanta?
Because if so, I want to do a recap of
(31:15):
the latest episode with you guys too. I said, yeah, great, amazing,
I love Atlanta. Andrew says, well, I haven't watched. He
calls me. He goes, I haven't watched. You think I
could binge in a week? And I was like, well,
I don't know about that, because there are things that
happened in the past seasons that are the like they
caused the arguments this season, so you really have to
(31:35):
like go back and like look at things and stuff.
He said, well, I wonder if I could do it.
I'm gonna ask. I'm like, yeah, just ask ask the
guy whose podcast it is Ben. I'm like, ask Ben. Ben,
without using his better judgment, said sure. So last Friday
comes and Andrew says, yeah, I'm going to start the
season today. Do you know how many episodes are in
(31:56):
one season of Savannah?
Speaker 5 (31:58):
Just for anybody listening, right?
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Are they an hour long?
Speaker 5 (32:02):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (32:03):
And it's not a Love Island hour where you could
put it on and like skip half of it like
it's active drama because.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
This is Real Housewives, which tells you that he's never
watched a full episode of Real Housewives in his life.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
Oh Miami, hello, yes, right.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
So yesterday he texts me and he's like, oh, this person,
that person he's given his hot takes, and after a
while I just stopped responding because I realized, oh, honey,
you're not even halfway through this season.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
The conversation also naturally ended.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
No, it did not show you. I can I can
show you the text. I'm not like, I'm not I'm
not doing this with you. Okay, No, no it didn't.
So you know, I decide I'm gonna go about my business.
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna do this with him.
This morning. He walks in and he goes, oh, well,
I only got to episode ten of seventeen. There are
two halves to a season. If you really watched Housewives,
(32:52):
you would know that the drama continues to build.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
Phaeder comes back the mid season trailer all of this
I missed it.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Keep cute. Then he goes, I'm just gonna read the
tweets and live reddits about.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
The culture recaps by the way, okay, which.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Is, which makes it even worse because vulture like these
people already have opinions. You cannot sit there. Number one,
you're half ass in it, and it pisses me off
because nobody forced you to commit to No, wait, nobody
forced you to commit to this. You volunteered to watch
the entire season by today, you had seven days. Okay,
(33:36):
you decided to half ass it and think that this
was just a test in high school that you could
Cliff's note study for this. Yeah, it doesn't work that way.
Speaker 6 (33:44):
I still failed those so learned your lesson.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Here we are thirty years later, no, fifteen years later,
and you're still fucking up. You have and so for me,
I just feel like you're doing the audience a disservice
by half assing, and it's a slap into the end
face of people like me and Ben who actually watched
this shit. You're gonna go on there, You're gonna give
an opinion that wasn't even your own, and you're gonna
sit there and talk about shit you don't understand.
Speaker 6 (34:08):
Now, Go, I can speak, I said, go, okay, great,
I did say you should just do it with him
all back out, you know more about it. I'm fine
to say I didn't watch, so therefore go.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Go okay, bounce it back to me. Thank you. The
ball is in my hand.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
But if I'm admitting that I didn't so then I'll
give it back. What's the problem?
Speaker 2 (34:29):
You don't wait until the morning of to back out?
Speaker 5 (34:31):
But you know more about it, and you two know
more about it.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
But but you were asked a week ago, but seven
you had seven balls?
Speaker 5 (34:41):
Doesn't seem like, hey, you did.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
I just feel like, you know, there are a lot
of men that do that in this world and they're
not called out on it. As your friend, I want
to let you know you're getting away with privilege, buddy.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
For sure. Okay, over a housewives for your cat.
Speaker 6 (34:59):
Yes, But again, as I said, I am happy to
take myself out of the situation, knowing I did not
fulfill my end of the bargain. I said, if I
can catch up, great, I'm willing to take myself out
of the situation.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
So this way, the people that do know, No, I
know when to leave the situation if it's not going
to work. Okay, I'm fine with that.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
You don't know when to leave because it's an hour
before we're supposed to do this and you still haven't
You still haven't finished, you still haven't come up with
your actual opinion, and you also have an officially backed out,
which now clocked you. It's too late to back out.
Now you've got to sit there and line.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
She just wants to me out to be on this
to be dragged.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
No. But here's my thing is that, like in life,
you don't get to do things like this, and the
fact that you thought that this was normal up until
I called you a cliffs note kid to me is just.
Speaker 6 (35:46):
Like, ugh, okay, great, fair, totally understand. The Love Island
one will take probably an hour plus because it was
the finale and it was a two hour episode. I
think after that there is more that you you two
know about where I can say I didn't catch up
and it'll be okay, great, so then I can.
Speaker 5 (36:05):
Naturally find my way out. I'm not going to sit there.
Speaker 6 (36:07):
And be like, hey, here's hot takes off of my
recap readings, all.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Of your Reddit research. Yes, Diamond, you were going to
give your hot takes.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
He was going to get up there and give his
hot I believe that the.
Speaker 6 (36:19):
Whole time I was saying to myself, I can back
out of this because people that know, no, I'm not
gonna sit there if you know.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
You guys are just repeating yourselves. At this point, I
see the points of both of you. I see Diamonds
far more than Andrews. If in fact Andrew was saying
I will back out of this and not do it. Okay,
But to Diamond's point, you had a whole week to prepare.
You said you were going to do it. What stopped
you from actually doing it?
Speaker 6 (36:43):
Love Island is a full commitment of seven days a
week of watching. When I'm on my peloton usually that's
my recap time for that one. No mind you, it's
just a lot of binging of shows. My attention span
can only go so far as to like consume all this. Also,
it's just like between Love Island drama the Housewives drama.
(37:06):
It sometimes takes you to a place where you're like,
I just want to watch something that is more mindless
that I can just not watch.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
You know, and you didn't know this going into it.
So essentially what happened was you bit off more than
you could chew, but you didn't say anything until you
walked in this morning, at which point the group project
is due and you're showing up now I don't have
the assignment, and you don't expect them to feel any
type of way about it.
Speaker 5 (37:32):
Yes, that is a good way to put it, and
I understand.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Okay, I'm happy that you understand. But also the fact
that you're up here at lying you're saying that no,
because last Monday you knew that Love Island came on every.
Speaker 5 (37:46):
Day, but I had to catch up on that one too.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
And that is another issue. You knew that you couldn't
do both, but you really didn't even try to watch
Atlanta until Friday.
Speaker 5 (37:59):
And this is the I just didn't have the time.
I tried to get.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Move forward in life, committing to things that you aren't
gonna do. You didn't want to do it in the first.
Speaker 6 (38:07):
Place, which again, you two can do it. I understand
what you're saying, but the group project will go better
with me.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
How do we think we can move past this?
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Guys?
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Can we?
Speaker 2 (38:17):
I just don't like the way that you've handled this
because you were literally gonna continue on with your lies
and the fact that I just clocked you and caught
you in another lives and say, hey, you guys think
he would be a good husband.
Speaker 6 (38:28):
The thing is, you're clocking me, but you're just clocking
it for validation on your own feelings, which is fine.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
I don't need to validate my feelings, you know fine.
You know what would have honestly validated my feelings If
you went in there and started talking about shit that
didn't exist and then I clocked you on the.
Speaker 6 (38:43):
Trust me, I would not have even said a word.
It would have just been you talking the whole time,
which it probably will be because I don't really know
how much I can add to a real Housewives of
Atlanta discussion.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Is there anyway that we can hug it out? Or
are you guys gonna hate each other for the next
four hours?
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Oh I'm gonna hate him?
Speaker 1 (38:58):
Oh yeah, he doesn't hate you.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
I'll hate him until the reunion comes on of Love
Island or which is a month away. So give it
some time.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
Andrew, you are in some sort of purgatory for a month.
How are you feeling about that?
Speaker 3 (39:11):
You know?
Speaker 5 (39:13):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 6 (39:15):
So?
Speaker 1 (39:15):
I would I would like to. By the way, you
probably heard the microphone moving around a lot because we're
in a studio with two mics and there are three people.
I would love for our listeners to give us some
feedback on this whole thing. Whose side are we on here,
Team Diamond, Team Andrew or team what the fuck is
happening here? Both of you move on. I would like
to say, yes, come out, come on back.
Speaker 6 (39:34):
I am not I am fully team Diamond. I fully
acknowledge I did not do the project. I did not
do the thing. So therefore she is correct in everything
that she said.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
No, you said that a lot. I think there's still
is a side here because I think you want to
get off scott free like you didn't do anything, and
Diamond is saying you've been off more than you can chew.
You do it all the time, stop fucking doing it
and just acknowledge to it.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
Oh lord, baby, do it. Don't open that, Please, don't
open that. Don't open that. Carkat corktt cork right. So okay,
So do we want to scroll back? If you're listening
to this podcast, I want you to back out. Scroll
all the way back to last summer when he committed
(40:20):
to the wedding trip the wed This is what he does.
He commits to things and then at the last minute
tries to back out. Oh yeah, he did not back
out and not do things like that.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Yes, you need to be a man of your word.
Andrew can't do things.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
If you commit to something, you have to follow it through.
It's an integrity thing to me.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
You know, a man of little to no integrity. We
can't trust you, bait, Andrew.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
I thought you were one of the only white men
I could truy shit.
Speaker 5 (40:49):
Well, this outro has gone thirty minutes.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
So where goes my star writing?
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Because we're racist to get.
Speaker 5 (40:54):
I'm gonna sorry, see myself out. Have a great day everyone, Andrew.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
People want to find you online? Where can they find you?
Don't she's mad, honey Clark that he is at Andrew Pug.
He's still trying to be an influencer, and that's why
he has too much on his plate. We should make
a list of all the things that he has backed
out of, because there is quite an extensive list. Diamond.
If they want to find you online, where can they
find you at?
Speaker 2 (41:18):
Diamond? Sincere, and I'm in the mood to argue.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
I am at Baby Hot Sauce pretty much anywhere Instagram,
x threads. Yeah, and please like, subscribe review if you
want to give us a talkback. I would love to
hear your talkback. If you're listening on the iHeartRadio app,
there's a little microphone. Push that button, tell us what
you think. A lot happened here, Adam Levine, and also
(41:43):
a knockdown, drag out fight, and I guess that's it.
Andrew has left the room unceremoniously. I think he gave
us the finger on his way out. Probably so, until
next time, Say bye, Diamond, Bye.
