Speaker 1 (00:00):
It was a big end of the week last week,
and a lot of people busy over the weekend unwrapping
their Spotify rapped. Mind drop. You don't have Spotify, do
you know? I've got the other one? Yea? What is
it called Apple Replay?

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Just Apple? Okay, but the year end thing that they do,
replay replay, Yeah, yes.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
The one that everyone waits for, certainly in Spotify land.
And so I unwrapped my Spotify raped. It had a
controversial new feature this year where it tells you it
tells you what your age is based.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
On your music. Now, I want mine to do that,
but it's not.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Yeah, well no, maybe you don't mind doesn't do anything
because my listening age is sixty.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Really yeah, so you're older.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
I'm older than I actually am, based on the fact
that I like a lot of music from the early eighties. Yeah,
and that comes up on my playlist. So it says, oh,
you must be sixty.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Is weird?

Speaker 1 (00:59):
No, I'm not thinking much.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Isn't it weird when you put it in a sentence?
I like music from the early eighties, So Spotify says
I'm sixty. It's like, way, go on, what happened? Stop?
There's something not right about that.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
No, that's not old. No, it's still cool. Of course
it is, oh boy anyway, So but not a lot
of surprise for me. This is probably why I'm sixty.
My top artists were the police style Council.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Mine Style Council's on mine. It's in there, so they
came in fourth.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Steely Dan was in there, a little bit of roxy. Yes,
apparently I like yacht rock. I do. In fact, on
the twenty seventh of January last year, I set sail
on a three hundred and thirty eight minute yacht soft
rock what is it? Odyssey Steely Dan, Elvis Costello, the Doors.
I think three hundred and thirty eight minutes. I think

(01:50):
I might have fallen asleep with the phone on, just quietly.
I mean, that's a long time. That's a long time.
But yeah, yacht rock, new wave, sophisty pop, which I
didn't even know existed. Apparently there's some of my my genres.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
I just lost my no Internet connection.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
That's because you have an iPhone eleven.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Age couldn't be loaded. Try again. We've just been discussing
how the fact, Oh no, it's back. Nothing wrong with
my eleven pro We were I downloaded the new system
yesterday and all of a sudden, the battery life has plunged.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
We're onto you update this and then head into the
Apple Store.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
So well, Leonard Cohen's right up there again. So what
what age do you reckon that puts out?

Speaker 1 (02:36):
I'm going to I think you'd been nudging seventy.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Jeff Buckley is there.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
He'll pull you back.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Stella. That's going to bring me, that's going to bring
you down. You know the song I listened to the
most last year was Ray's Escapism.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
I've never heard of it.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
She's Ray, She's awesome. Have a listen, see your self.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
A faith hang on. But I'm sixty, remember, remember I'm sixty.
I tell you what wasn't on it? What wasn't online?
What nickelback? Like your pants around your feet? That wasn't there?

Speaker 3 (03:14):
What also wasn't there? Was no going into nickelback that
wasn't there either.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
You know there's another one that is hanging around. Go away,
go away. I've heard of I've heard of moves like jagger,
but have you ever heard swagger? Jagger?

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Swagger? Jag swagger jagger? Kids? This is it's like Jennifer
Lopez meets Kate Demon Hunters. What's flowing on there.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
That's some of the stuff that's floating around. So, you know,
I think I'm kind of happy that I'm sitting at
the age of sixty.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Mine hasn't been able to come up with an age.
It's confused.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
That's because you're on an iPhone eleven. Stop it time
to go?

Speaker 3 (04:08):
You want new one?

Speaker 1 (04:08):
I'm afraid anyway, So anyway, I look, and then there's
this other controversial feature sharing sharing your rapped with other people.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Listen, I care about as much about your wrapped as
I care about what your kid wore on book week. Okay,
I'm just saying, just saying, drop the g.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
I want to keep all my embarrassing music choices to
myself exactly. Thank you very much,
