Today's episode: it's time to talk about the US presidential elections and Trump's astonishing sweep that has left the entire world in full shock and confusion. I will be sharing my thoughts on how this may have happened by looking at how the demographics of these elections have changed compared to 2020. I will also getting into the mystifying role that social media, algorithms and the news have played in creating a bubble that has been inevitably bursted by these results. On a more positive and less heavy note, I am also going to be reacting to the 2025 Grammy Nominations and I will be trying to predict who is going to win each of the major awards.

(00:00):
Hey, welcome to the Overshare pamphlet.
(00:25):
My name is Rob and I am the host of this one-man show coming to you every Monday at 6am UK time.
And yeah, hope you guys are enjoying the podcast.
Today we're going to have a bit of a, I would say, maybe like a big discussion maybe.
(00:49):
I don't know, I mean it's been a very big week for pop culture, I guess.
Well, pop culture but also politics and all the above.
And you may know what I'm talking about, of course, if you are in the loop, which I hope you are, because what the fuck.
Yeah, so I'm going to be talking, of course, about the US presidential elections of this year.
(01:10):
Trump back in the White House, which is astonishing, but also quite scary for many reasons, which I will get into in a few moments, of course.
But also want to talk about Grammy nominations, because they all decided to like, you know, it always happens at the same time of the year.
(01:33):
So they just dropped like an hour ago, I think, something like that.
So I haven't actually looked at them, so I thought, what about a way of like doing an episode,
then to have also my reaction to the nominations and my, you know, possible predictions on who's going to win and all that stuff.
So I think that's a good also balance to the very depressing topic, which is the, of course, the US presidential elections, as I said.
(02:01):
But yeah, but let me, of course, first get into the songs of the week just to get a little bop in there, a little bop.
So this week, I've listened to not that much of a like new, you know, pool of songs, but I've had, you know, a few, just a few, just a few.
(02:39):
So first one is Dopamine by Bina and Stup Culture. This is a, I would say like it's an R&B, but Afro beat inspired R&B song,
which doesn't make any sense, but it kind of does, I guess.
And it's quite the, oh, quite the interesting track, I would say.
(03:05):
Like I've never heard anything like this, specifically, like R&B, but it has that Afro beat influence in that sense.
And I'm not really sure how to explain it, but it's very, very cool.
Very, very interesting track. The album itself, the EP is also very, very interesting.
So I would say if you'd like these type of songs, like the vibe itself, check it out on the Overshare Pamphlet Songs of the Week November 2024 playlist.
(03:32):
You can give it a go and if you like the song, you can possibly also check out more from Bina.
I really don't know much about the artist itself, but I just stumbled upon this song and I was like,
ooh, very, very unique, very unusual, unusual. I would say like quite special, like it sets itself apart from,
(03:55):
I guess, the rest of the R&B tracks that I normally listen to.
So yeah, cool. Now, I also want to talk about Sao Paolo by The Weeknd and Anita.
(04:16):
Now, contrary to, you know, the popular perception, I guess, of like The Weeknd,
I also support the, let's just say like, you know, the, I don't want to say the backlash,
but I sort of can see where it's coming from. Like he, after the idol, I don't think I can look at him in the same light,
(04:39):
but he's still very talented, I'd say as a musician, of course, and I think that's what he should have,
like, you know, stuck with, just making music, songs and all that stuff. But this song is very good, very, very good.
Anita is not really like singing, it's like sort of, I don't want to say rapping, but sort of, I guess,
(05:02):
just like mumbling throughout the track. And the beat of the song is the main purpose, I guess, of this track.
Very danceable, very club anthemy in that sense. So, yeah, like, girl, if you want to have a good time in Sao Paolo,
(05:30):
this is the song to listen to. I fucking know. But yeah, no, I honestly feel very captivated also by the way,
like the production itself changes a lot. It could have been like a very simple, standard, soulless song,
but it's really produced well and like it changes and it builds up throughout the entire track and it's just very, very good.
(05:52):
And I knew there was something special about this song when I first heard it in his live performance,
when he first debuted the song, but he never released it on streaming, but this is it. Very, very good. Now,
I want to include this track called, what the fuck is that? My Idol by Jordana and Paul Cherry.
(06:23):
This song is, if you listen to my episode about my favorite albums of the year, which include, of course,
well, the first one was My Favorite Favorite Album is Charmed by Clairo. I made a playlist based on the song
Glory of the Snow, which is very hippie, I guess like 70s and like 60s and 70s type of track and sort of
(06:58):
folky, I don't know, like very, yeah, very like Beatles, I guess, hippie sort of track. This sort of builds off of the same vibe.
It's in that playlist as well. And yeah, I just, I just like love the track. So it's just quite, quite the mood.
(07:26):
Very chill, very carefree. Yeah, sort of like that vibe. If you know anything about that, the Clairo album, like Charmed,
that's the sort of vibe that it's bringing as well. Very, very cool. Very, as I said, like very chill, very sort of feel good in a way.
(07:47):
It is about, to be fair, the crush that this girl has on her idol, like on this person who becomes her idol.
Hence the song being named my idol, but very cute, very demure. I've had enough of demure. Please take it out of the vocabulary.
Everyone is saying that. Enough. Yeah, there's a great track, great, great, great, great track. So yeah, you can find all these in the Songs of the Week
(08:20):
playlist of the month. November 24th, of course. So check it out. Give it a go. Give it a spin. And yeah, period.
Let's get into the real deal, which is, of course, first the, I want to talk about the elections. I want to put a disclaimer here, I guess,
(08:41):
just for clarity. I am not a US citizen by any sorts, by any stretch of the imagination. I'm not American. I'm not. I never lived in the US,
even though I visited the US one time in my whole life. I studied there three weeks. I think it was in total when I was in high school.
(09:03):
But that's pretty much it in terms of actually experiencing American life and American culture itself.
I mean, you could argue that you can experience American culture, I guess, through the dominance that the US has in terms of music and TV shows
and entertainment and all that stuff. So I guess in a way I am very much influenced and I have a very fiery passion when it comes to entertainment.
(09:29):
And I consume a lot of that specifically when it comes to music, of course, but also when it comes to TV shows, films and all the above.
But that does not stop me from not talking about the elections, because I think at the end of the day, it's a very important and global event,
(09:52):
I guess, that happened this week. And it is going to affect all countries in the world in one way or another.
And most of all, of course, the other Western countries and all the countries that the US has a close tie to, including the UK, where I'm currently based at.
So and politics is just something like global politics is something real, of course, if you know anything about politics is that, you know, we don't live on an island at all.
(10:22):
Everything is sort of going in ebbs and flows. And it is a game of different powers. And the stage is, you know, the global politics.
So you need to be aware of all these things and how these things can influence wider discourse, I guess, and wider power strategies.
(10:43):
And yeah, so on the one hand, I'm interested in the cultural aspect of it all.
Like I know it's a big cultural event in that sense, like a big, big moment for the US itself.
But also, I am very wary of the fact that this can be very dangerous for the rest of the world.
(11:04):
And yeah, I mean, if you know anything about the US, it is still regardless of how the elections are going, still and the economic situations and everything else,
it is still one of the biggest powers in the international scene.
So I mean, the dollars, the need to say more like that's the new standard, like the golden standard.
(11:29):
It's the dollar standard. Basically, we the dollar is the most powerful currency in the world.
So that alone should tell you how much you should take these things seriously.
So and the amount of businesses that are American owned and are spread out throughout the entire globe, that is also another sign of the chokehold.
But yeah, so I hope this is like enough of a good disclaimer to let you know that I am interested in this topic and I have a reason and a voice behind this.
(11:58):
And I sort of am allowed to speak.
Of course, I'm not going to be saying that like, you know, I'm not going to be pretending that I know America more than Americans, of course.
But I have also studied politics my whole life.
I have a degree, actually two degrees in politics.
So like, y'all, this is coming from me.
(12:19):
That sounds like the interest and all that stuff.
So. So, yeah, let's first discuss what happened.
Of course, as you may know, Trump has been reelected as the president of the United States and to some, myself included.
This was. I would say that the win itself is not a shocker, but I think mostly is the sweep that is a shocker.
(12:46):
Like even the Senate full Republican sweep and his margin of victory is actually quite noticeable.
He got 200. Well, for the ones that have been counted, he got 292, I believe.
electoral votes. So he dwarfed in a way Kamala Harris.
(13:08):
So Donald Trump is sort of, you know, a force in the other day to be reckoned with.
And it is a scary moment for a lot of women and a lot of LGBTQ members and a lot of, of course, minorities.
(13:28):
And, you know, it's a scary time for a lot of people in the US right now because there's a lot on the line.
There's a lot of liberal values that are being attacked and are being under discussion at the moment,
including, of course, about the autonomy and reproduction rights and all the above.
(13:53):
Like any anything that you could think of to be fair is now up for grabs to be fair.
Immigration and health and tourism and.
Pretty much anything that you could think of literally is now going to be under the knife and under the chopping board and.
Possibly going against the specifically would say like the lower classes and like the backbone of the US.
(14:22):
But. Yeah, and also I would say that the actual principles behind, you know, yes, politics.
So it's quite interesting to see how these things are going to change and to.
My greatest disappointment, I would say, is probably the fact that.
(14:43):
Like. What really, I guess, shocked me the most is how little now the news and.
Social media as well are sort of disproportionately.
Portraying like the political climate in the wrong way, like.
(15:06):
I think the real problem that happened here was that.
News outlets and you know.
Any sort of like. Like mean of reporting in a sense is well for the past few years has been extremely concerned with appeasing and like, you know, satisfying.
(15:27):
I guess like click the social media chatter in that sense, pandering towards social media and the clicks and all that stuff, right?
Instead of actually doing what they're supposed to, which is like to actually report facts and events for how they should be.
And why do I say this? Well, I don't know if you if you have been on.
(15:47):
Social media, you're no strangers, of course, to the amount of Republicans and the amount of conservative people on the on those apps.
But the problem I would say is that for first the these apps, these algorithms have evolved in such a way that they're again.
I think I've touched on this topic so many times also when it comes to like just generally music and any other sort of entertainment.
(16:11):
But this is also very true for politics and information and news.
But I would say like the algorithms are so now like so tailored to your own views and your own.
I guess preferences that you sort of live in an echo chamber no matter what, no matter what app you use and no matter what news outlets you.
(16:38):
Look for. You're going to be catered towards very specific information that you will like.
So you'll be living in this like huge bubble, as I said, that is going to simply feed into your delusions, which is very much what happened here.
I personally think like after this, like results like after the results of the elections, I think I am quite shocked to have.
(17:06):
I guess discovered them. Actually, there's still a huge margin of Americans that are extremely Republican.
And I'm not talking about simply white Americans and, you know, the typical Republicans and conservatives.
But I think what really was missed throughout these years was an accurate reporting of how many people were switching to the Republican ideals and to the conservatism of it all.
(17:33):
And the demographics of the of the turnouts are.
Simply telling you the same, basically like they're showing you some very interesting and scary facts like I'm talking even about amongst minorities and which usually I've been supporting.
Democratic Party for quite a long time.
(17:54):
They've also been starting to switch towards the other side, and I blame again the way these social media platforms are built and the way news outlets are reporting news and.
All of that. It's just again, I say, as I said, feeding into.
Your delusions and your bubble and like you're is only thing you actually see what's the truth and what's the cold.
(18:20):
Fact about society at the moment. So this was a big reckoning, I would say, and a big eye opener for a lot of us, maybe I would say, because I like turning on, you know, like it's shedding some light on.
Why the composition, I guess, of the electorate is at this point.
(18:41):
So, yeah, quite scary. So. Yeah.
And you know, they're on, I guess, like, well, it's still part of the same discourse, you know, but under point on that, I would say is.
It also showed a lot how individualism has become.
An extreme way of living in the US, the US has always been very individualistic, of course, like it's that is one of the core principles of like American liberalism and individualism.
(19:12):
But I think at this point, we're getting so far.
Away from any sort of modicum of social care and like, you know, community in that sense that it's just.
Getting everyone like separated and completely, I would say, like self selfless, she I don't know, viewing society in a way that is like just inimicably.
(19:40):
Like I would say that basically like. Everyone is voting for their own gain and they're not really caring about any, any, any people that they they don't love, even to be fair, like their neighbors.
They don't really care about them. No one cares about their community.
No one cares about even about their local community anymore.
They're just voting for their own personal, silly little pot of land.
(20:01):
And that's it. And I think it's quite scary again, as I said, because, you know, you cannot build a country over individuals who are not or at least pretend.
To be. Like, you know, not connected at all, like we still live in a world like in a country, like in a world that is like.
(20:22):
You know. Made up of social interactions and, you know, social groups, and it's important to foster to foster that, but I don't think it's happening anymore.
Like, I mean, it's quite, it's quite, it's quite, you know, scary. And. I don't know. I hope that things change over time, but.
(20:45):
I am concerned again that with this, this amount of, you know, catering again in the way people consume any sort of content and news and anything in general,
that people are going to be more and more segregated into their own little bubbles and are going to become, therefore, more and more individualist in the way they approach life in general.
(21:08):
So very scary. But let's get into the demographics. I think that's actually one of the most important parts of this topic.
But what I really wanted to first look at, what I searched for to be, what I was really interested in to see, like, how did this even happen was.
The first thing that came to mind was how many young people went to vote this time around and to well, not to my surprise, I was expecting this to be fair.
(21:32):
Out of the. Of course, out of the all all the voters that went to vote on.
For these elections, I think only I saw, I think it was the New York Times reported that nine percent was of all the voters were aged between 18 and 24.
And even less between 25 and 29.
(21:55):
So I think it's six percent for 25 to 29 and nine percent of the voters were 18 to 24.
So. Yeah. And of course, the majority lies within is that the older population, so 50 to 64, was 27 percent of the voters and 65 and all over was 28 percent of the voters.
So you can sort of understand as well why it is not. Well, you can see untapped potential, I guess, that could have really tipped the bounds for the good.
(22:28):
And I just am not surprised. I'm not surprised.
I think many times as well before in other episodes, young people are not not interested in voting.
They're not disillusioned with the system overall.
Just think of, I don't know, trouble run the way she approached the endorsement situation and all this stuff.
(22:49):
Young people do not think that either of the parties are worthy of listening to them.
I don't think they're actually. But I think on top of that is also a matter of.
Not being interested in politics at all or not being interested in the system that is governing them in a way.
(23:11):
I still think my personal view is that there is a possibility of change if you.
Exploit the system in the right way, and I think by that I mean is well.
I understand their anger and everything else, but if you can actually create some change that is visibly.
(23:36):
Favoring you in a way you should go for it. I understand that none of the candidates may ever be perfect or may ever be even remotely good or.
They're not going to represent your needs and your desires at all, and this is about so many other things like including Gaza, of course, and everything.
(23:59):
But I still think that in front of the status quo, you need to work within the constraints that you are finding yourself in in a way.
So I personally would have still voted for.
The better candidate, even though. Even if I don't believe that none of them are ideal, I still think it's pretty clear to me that between a felon and.
(24:27):
A very qualified at least politician, regardless of reviews, I would still consider voting a woman, of course, instead of a felon like this is what it boils down to.
I understand that the strategies used by the Democratic Party were not probably the best when they approached this election, and Trump is not stupid at all.
(24:51):
He knows what he's doing, of course, and that's part of why he also won. But I think that these demographics show you first off that, you know.
Who knows what would have happened if, you know, many.
A lot of young, many more young people went to vote and had a say in these things.
(25:14):
I personally think it would have been a much different outcome.
I'm not saying it would have been necessarily in favor of Kamala 100 percent, but I still think it would have given us a better picture even of what is going on.
But yeah, I also understand the frustration with the system itself, and I am sympathizing with so many people who don't think that they will ever be represented by these politicians.
(25:40):
But again, be the change that you want to see.
I think that wholeheartedly. So, yeah, maybe next in 40 years, maybe.
That's what parties should like, start aiming at, because I think there is still quite a big well, a big, you know.
Untapped potential in these demographics.
(26:04):
So, yeah, that's one.
The other thing that well, the thing is that I found very shocking was the demographic by race.
And it turned out for Trump spiked so much among Hispanic and Latino voters, like compared to 2020.
(26:27):
There was an increase of 13 percent of Hispanic and Latino voters for Trump.
So that is insane. Like 20 to 24, the split was 45 percent voted for Trump and 53 voted for.
What if we're. Harris, so that to me is insane.
(26:51):
Like 2020 was 30 percent voted for Trump, 65 voted for Biden Harry.
So clearly there is also a very interesting change in these demographics.
At the end of the day, you know that Trump is the new public and has said so many terrible things specifically about, you know,
Hispanic and Latino people as well. So I this makes you wonder basically like, oh, how is that even possible?
(27:16):
Well, I think the general consensus here is that working class is fed up with the demographic party.
They feel abandoned. They don't feel listened to. And I don't know to quote Sanders,
but I think he actually made a very great point in his post after the elections.
(27:40):
He said the demographic party is accountable for losing the trust of the working class.
Like, that's probably one of the main reasons why they couldn't even, you know, hold the blue line.
Right. So, yeah, I think this is like definitely a sign of that.
(28:02):
Like that is insane to me. There was even a small spike in Asian voters, plus four percent basically in in favor of the Republicans.
And yeah, what really seems to be consistent, fortunately, is the black voters portion of this election.
(28:28):
It's still pretty much the same as 2020. In 2020, every seven percent of black voters voted for Biden.
And in 2034, 86 percent voted for Harris. So at least that was consistent.
But it's always been consistent. Like this has always been the case most of the times for the elections.
(28:48):
Like black voters always support Democratic parties.
And that's at least a good sign that in that department, they have still achieved that.
But yeah, and to no surprise, of course, majority of white people voted for Trump.
So, again, not surprising.
Another interesting one, I would say, is support for Trump increase across genders.
(29:19):
So compared to 2020, like the 2020 elections, women.
More women voted for Trump and, of course, more men voted for Trump as well.
So, yeah, 44 percent of women voted for Trump, which is a two percent increase.
(29:41):
And there was also a one percent increase in men voters.
So, yeah. And if you want to get also to the niggerity,
there was a specific increase in. Hispanic and Latino men specifically voting for Trump this year.
(30:07):
And I think also Hispanic and Latino women voted for Trump even more.
So plus seven percent for Trump. So, yeah, not really not really encouraging.
But that's how it is.
Again, I said, like, it's a big reckoning moment because you can see that people are just not going to be caring as much about community anymore.
(30:36):
And they are fed up with, you know, they'd rather listen to someone who talks out of nonsense and, like, feeds their fears and all the above rather than, you know, supporting a party that at least has some, I guess, a modicum of interest in their own welfare.
(31:00):
But I well, I understand their side. I don't think they really communicated that very well and they have clearly not strived to bring the point home.
I think a great point that could have been used personally against the Republican Party was specifically the relationship that Trump has with Elon Musk and how this endorsement of Elon Musk may be very detrimental to specifically lower class workers.
(31:29):
Because, you know, they automation, AI tools and all the above are threatening to replace jobs that are, you know, mainly done by a lot of, you know, a lot of the well, there's no middle class anymore.
But, you know, most workers are going to be replaced by automation and by him, by Trump endorsing Elon, who is literally the main proponent for automation.
(32:03):
I think, you know, that's quite that's quite concerning.
And if I were the Democratic Party, I would have, you know, I would have, I don't know, driven the point of home. I would have like really, you know, emphasized how bad that is.
And I would have tried my best to, you know, protect, make sure that these people are protected and feel protected under the possible Harris presidency against automation.
(32:30):
That would have been a great I think it would have been a great counter move to Trump and his close collaboration with Elon Musk.
I'm sure Elon Musk now is like super happy that he won his bet and he got 20 billion dollars more.
What? He got 20 billion dollars richer. So boohoo to that.
Honestly, like quite disappointing, quite disappointing.
(32:53):
What the hell, America? What the hell?
But I guess on a positive note, let's try and spin this around, I guess.
It is what it is, you know, you can still, of course.
I guess. I mean, it's OK to feel sad.
It's OK to be disappointed in all this.
(33:14):
It's OK to be to feel scared because it is a scary moment.
But I would also suggest, you know, to not lash out and not judge people for who they voted.
It is what it is. You cannot do much about it.
And I would encourage people not to feed into this separatism that has just been destroying the country, the US specifically, but I think also in general everywhere else in the world.
(33:40):
It's been just a horrible trend of these latest years.
So I would encourage people to just be more, you know, more open.
First, of course, metabolize this whole thing, but also, you know, take some time, but also try not to be too confrontational and to and don't, you know.
(34:03):
Do not hold a grudge. It's it happens, whatever it is.
I think that they are choice of the country made.
And I hope I hope at least this is a lesson learned for the next election.
So that's that's all I hope for. But yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's get to something a bit more fun, hopefully not as depressing.
(34:26):
Let's get to the Grammy nominations 2025.
So, yeah, I said I haven't read any of these.
I just took a peek at Record of the Year because it is the first category that is shown on the Recording Academy's website.
But let's get into it. I'm going to more this is going to be my reaction to that because I haven't seen it.
But also my predictions, I guess, on who I want to win and who I think is going to win.
(34:52):
Oh, fireworks. Anyways, Record of the Year is an award to the artists and album producers and recording engineers and or mixers and mastering engineers.
So it is an award for.
The song overall, I would say, like the product itself, like the actual song, it's not about songwriting specifically,
(35:17):
but it's more about like the production and the moment the song itself brought to the table.
So here are the nominees now and then by the Beatles.
What the fuck? I saw that I was like shocked.
That's the only thing I saw that Texas Hold'em. OK, period.
Beyonce. Thank you, Beyonce. Espresso. Yes, Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter.
(35:40):
Yes, 360 by Charlie. OK, Charlie.
Charlie, this is huge for Charlie, actually.
This is insane. Record of the Year. What?
Birds of a Feather, of course, Philly was expecting that.
Unlike Oz by Kendrick Lamar. OK. OK.
Kendrick being nominated this year is just like such a big FU to, you know, to you know who.
(36:06):
Good Luck Babe. Oh, Chappell.
Chappell with Good Luck Babe is in Record of the Year.
OK, that's incredible. That's major.
These are all like she's a new artist and she's already nominated for record.
That is insane. We have the Trinity. We have Charlie.
We have Sabrina. We have Chappell.
The world has been just like just right now has been healed.
(36:30):
Now we have Fortnite. Pierre Riel.
And of course, it was whipped.
Not my favorite song off of torture poets, but I mean, she did the numbers.
She did the numbers for sure. So respect my girl, please.
Interesting, interesting mix. Very female centric.
(36:51):
I love that. Oh, this is so good.
It's so hard to choose. I personally think that.
Hmm. I would say personally,
Espresso should be. The.
The winner. I would love for Espresso to win.
(37:15):
Because I still think that it was a record of the year.
It was the song that at least everyone.
Had listened to, so it was a moment for the entire summer,
and it's still doing incredible numbers, and it was it's one of the most organic
and the most stable hits in the charts.
So I and I love Espresso is just such a fun song.
(37:39):
Such a good moment for for the girls.
So I would personally love to see Espresso win.
Do I think she's going to win? She could have a chance.
But I think. I think Birds of a Feather also may have a strong chance.
Billie Eilish is a Grammy darling in that sense, so it could it could happen.
(37:59):
100 percent.
Good luck, babe. I think.
I mean, I would love for that to win, but I don't know if Chapel.
I see Chapel is a bit of a wild card here because I don't know
if she is beloved by the Grammys or not.
(38:19):
What's their opinion on her?
So I guess we'll find out with these editions of the Grammys, but
it's already an incredible achievement for her as a new artist, as a fresh new artist
to be in the record of the year category.
Like this is one of the biggest categories, like among the three biggest categories of the Grammys.
So kudos to Chapel.
Congratulations, girl. I don't think Fortnite is going to win.
(38:42):
I think if anything, Fortnite is going to win for either
pop duo or whatever or well, not probably just that.
I don't think Fortnite is going to win, even though Taylor is also a Grammy darling.
I don't think the competition this year is quite strong.
So, yeah, it is getting good.
Album of the year.
(39:02):
OK, so we have New Blue Sun by Andre 3000.
I don't know about that.
I don't know anything about that.
So I don't know. I need to check it out.
Cowboy Carter by Beyonce. OK.
Short and sweet by Serena Carpenter.
Shut the fuck up.
Brat is nominated for Album of the Year. OK.
(39:23):
Jesse of Volume 4 by Jacopo Collier. OK period.
In the art itself, of course, of course, trouble, Ron DeRizzo.
Chapel. Chapel Rowan.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
What is going on?
Like, this is so big.
And the torture points department, of course, of course, of course, of course.
(39:45):
Um.
Let's see. OK, this is so difficult.
I would say. OK, my choice for who should win the album of the year.
It would be. Oh, fuck, I don't know.
(40:06):
Either Chapel Rowan or.
The torture points department.
And before I got attacked on the Internet, I love the torture points department.
It was a lay bloomer for me, but I have.
Discovered so many songs by like, you know, among the 30 and more tracks,
(40:30):
I've just covered so many moments on this album that I think is just a very interesting project.
And I think it is, in my opinion, a different thing for Taylor.
Like it was such an interesting, like I would say, lyrically, in a sense, like in writing wise,
such a different experience.
(40:50):
It's probably one of the most wordy albums she's ever done.
And she it's such a it's not simply confessional, I would say.
It's more like. Basically, just laying it all out and having no filter and sometimes even portraying yourself
in a very unflattering light, which is a very unusual thing for a pop star to do.
Like, she's had, of course, her moments for that, like meta songs and stuff.
(41:15):
But this was probably the biggest. Change in her.
In the discovery, discovery with this album, I think this brought and you see,
that's what I mean, this is what I mean, like when you look at these albums, you should,
I personally think you should look at them as how did they,
you know, change the trajectory of the artists, how do they show any evolution in the artists legacy?
(41:41):
And I think it does. I personally think the torture points department does.
You may disagree, of course, but I mean, it's just my opinion.
So, yeah, Trouble Run, I would love to win.
But I think it's also a debut album and I wouldn't.
I mean, as a project itself is like so.
(42:01):
Good and so cohesive, it's such a good pop perfection album.
But I would understand why it wouldn't win and also wouldn't say why the torture
points department wouldn't win, because I think it's not quite like torture points on the other hand.
It's like very non cohesive at all.
So and I think the Grammy usually don't like that.
So I don't think the torture point will win.
(42:21):
I don't think Trouble maybe will win.
I do think like objectively.
Brat should win. Personally, I could see Brat winning
because Brat itself was an entire moment.
It is showing such a big pivoting moment for Charlie.
It was such a huge breakthrough for her.
(42:41):
And I would be very pleased to see her win with that.
I could also see Hemi Ardensov winning.
But again, I don't see any evolution in that for Billy personally.
It was not my favorite album by Billie Eilish.
I think it's actually very much the same old for Billy in terms of production and everything else.
But it may win.
I said like Billy is a Grammy darling.
(43:05):
But the album, though, I'm not sure.
I would say Brat has a good chance.
I would say maybe even Cowboy Carter has a great chance of winning
because it is a big moment for Beyonce as well.
It is a very transformative album for her as well.
But yeah, Tornado Suite, I think it's a very good album personally,
but I don't think it's how to say, like strong enough to contend against the other people.
(43:31):
It's a project overall, even though it is also a big breakthrough for Tornado Suite,
but for Sabrina Carpenter, I still don't think.
I mean, these are also good.
I cannot like they're all very good nominations, I would say.
So at this point, anyone can take it home.
But I would be very pleased if Brat took it just because of the moment,
the entire album itself and the brand of the album itself had on the culture.
(43:53):
While Short and Sweet, I guess it wasn't really.
I mean, it was mostly the singles that were a moment,
but the album itself was a moment in itself, I would say.
But yeah, so Brat, Brat, I would put my money on Brat,
even though I want I would want to prepare all of them to go out with a win.
(44:15):
But yeah, let's get to Song of the Year.
Now, this is more about the songwriting.
So here we have to shift gears.
You know what I mean? This is a bit a bit different.
We have a bar song, Tipsy by Sean Cook and Gerald Jones and more.
Shaboosie, shaboosie, shaboosie.
Then Birds of a Feather, OK, Billie Eilish.
(44:38):
Dead with a Smile, oh, Lady Gaga, that's
that is a surprise to me, that is a surprise to me.
Fortnite, Jack Hanton of course produced it and all that.
So Taylor Swift and Post Malone.
Good luck, babe.
Chabron, period, period.
(44:59):
No, like us by Kendrick Lamar, period.
Please, please, please.
Like I'm gonna carpenter is here and Texas Hold'em by Beyonce, period, period, period.
Hmm.
Now, who would I want to win?
I would say I want please, please, please to win.
(45:20):
If you listen to my episode on that,
I did say that I want to please, please to be the song of the year in my opinion.
And I still see I could see it winning, to be fair, because the
the songwriting on this was just so strong.
I would say like the flirtyness and the humor behind it was just incredible.
(45:44):
So, yeah.
That would be a great contender.
Let's see.
I don't know.
I feel like.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Interesting.
Birds of a Feather, I don't think it would win.
I think if anything, Birds of a Feather is gonna win record of the year.
(46:07):
I don't think song of the year in that sense would be Birds of a Feather.
Because I don't know.
I feel like the content of the song itself is just good, but it's not outstanding.
Like please, please, please, in my opinion.
Like please, please, please is like comical, but also sharp and captivating.
It's just like so different and so, so good.
(46:31):
Good Luck Baby is also very good, to be fair.
It's a good song, like written song.
It's such an interesting song, writing wise.
For Night, I don't think it deserves to win.
There's so much better in the torture boys department that could have been chosen for
that, but I understand it's the biggest song out of that.
(46:52):
I would say please, please, please has a great chance of winning, to be quite frank.
To be quite frank.
It could also be Kendrick Lamar.
It may be.
But I think please, please, please has a great chance of winning and I think I would want
that to win as well.
So period.
Okay, now we get to best new artist.
This is interesting.
I am ready for this.
So this is about specifically artists who achieved a breakthrough.
(47:14):
It's not simply, like it's not about actual new artists that came out on the scene this
year, but it's more about artists that became famous this year.
So we have Manson Boone, Sabrina Carpenter, period.
Dochi, oh yeah.
Crank Bin, I don't know who that is.
Ray, of course, okay, period.
Chappell Rohn, okay.
(47:35):
Shabuzy, and Teddy Swims, okay.
I could see to be fair this going to any of these country artists, male country artists,
like Teddy Swims and such.
I could see that because they, I don't know if they have a big breakthrough.
I wouldn't be discounting that.
But if I were to go with my own gut, it would go to Chappell Rohn.
(48:01):
Like I would want Chappell to be the one winning, even though Sabrina also deserves it.
This was the breakthrough as well, to be fair.
I think Chappell is in every sense of the word, a full breakthrough.
She is a new artist.
She came on the scene properly this year, in terms of, that's the only project she has.
That's it.
That's a proper breakthrough artist.
(48:23):
So I would want her to win, but also would be happy with Sabrina winning.
Dochi, I write for you, girl.
I don't know, the competition is very strong.
So again, I wouldn't be surprised if Teddy Swims or Manson Boone or whatever, any of these
artists win.
But I would want Chappell, I think.
I think Chappell would be good.
(48:43):
I think there's so much.
I think Grammys can be generous and spread it around, because there are so many deserving
moments here.
But yeah.
Producer of the year, I'm interested in that.
Alissa, Alissa who produced Bugs, Don't Matter, Honey, Is It Worth It, Spend the Night and
all that.
(49:04):
Then we have Dernst and Mya, Emil II.
Emil II, sorry, what the fuck.
He produced, that was a Smile Bar song.
He produced One of Them Ones, I Love You by Usher as well.
Period, okay.
I suspect Jack Hansen of Indenigro are going to be also nominated.
(49:27):
Ian Fitchock for Beyonce.
Okay.
Mustard for Kendrick Lamar and Travis Scott.
Dan Nigro is here, okay.
Period.
Oh, Jack Antenoff is not nominated.
Interesting.
Even though he has production credits on both Short and Sweet and To Don't Shoo Boys.
(49:51):
Okay.
I would say maybe Dan Nigro could win this time around.
You know, like he deserves it, because he produced for Chappell, Olivia and, you know,
For example, You Love Can't Catch Me Now, he produced that for Olivia.
He produced The Rise and Fall of a Mid-Wes Princess, so he produced an entire album by
Chappell.
I mean, he produced a lot of stuff that I think are worthy.
(50:15):
I would want him to win personally.
Ooh, Sunrise of the Year, Non-Classical.
Do we care about that?
Not really.
Oh, Rey is there.
Rey, you better win.
Best Pop Solo Performance, New Vocal or Instrumental Pop Recordings.
Okay, so performance.
Bodyguard by Beyonce, period.
(50:38):
That's my favorite song.
Espresso, okay.
Apple, Charlie XTX, period.
Birds of a Feather, good luck, babe.
Good luck, babe.
100%.
If we're talking about pop solo performance, vocals and everything, good luck, babe.
100%.
100%.
I'm so sorry, but there's no competition.
(50:58):
Okay, this is interesting.
Best Pop Duo or Group Performance.
We have...
What?
Okay, us, Gracie Abrams and Taylor Swift, not gonna win.
Levi's jeans, Beyonce with Post Malone, okay, interesting.
Guess who?
Oh, things are changing here.
(51:20):
The Boyz Mine.
With this, I don't understand.
The Boyz Mine is Ariana Grande.
What the fuck?
Where is Eternal Sunshine?
It's not in any of these.
What?
What?
I just realized that Ariana Grande was not nominated for any of these, and that was one
of my favorite albums of the year, so disappointed.
(51:41):
But also, this doesn't make any sense.
It's a remix, and they don't really do much.
The song wasn't really a movement at all, so no.
And then it's Die With a Smile, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars.
I think it's between Die With a Smile or Guess.
No.
I think Die With a Smile is gonna win.
(52:06):
I think that's what God is telling me.
I think it's more in the realm of possibility, I would say.
So I think Die is gonna win.
Pop vocal album, short and sweet, Hit Me Hard and Soft, Eternal Sunshine, there it is.
Please.
It's Chapel Rowan and the Torture Boys Department.
(52:28):
I would want this.
This has to go to Ariana Grande.
I don't fucking care.
Bitch, you need to give it to her.
I am gonna riot if this doesn't happen.
She deserves at least one Grammy.
Please.
Dance and electronic.
Do we really care about that?
Not really.
(52:48):
But K-Tron is there with you with...
Ooh, Jalilio is gonna make a...
Yeah.
K-Tron, please win.
Best dance pop recording, make you mine, Madison Beer, Von...
Oh, Madison Beer?
Von Dutch, Charlie X...
Oh, La Morte A Mi Vie, Billie Eilish, whatever.
Yes and ooh, and Got Me Sorry by Troye Sivan.
Okay, okay, okay.
They're saying the girls and gays aren't this one.
(53:16):
Dance pop, dance pop.
La Morte A Mi Vie, Dema Vie?
No.
Von Dutch?
Well...
Yeah, could be.
I will give it to Yes and ooh.
That was a house popper perfection in my opinion, so...
And Max Marley produced it, so...
(53:37):
Yeah.
I will go either Yes and or Von Dutch.
Those are my...
Oh, but best dance and electronic album, Brat, period.
We have Timeless by K-Tron, oh, that's good.
Hyperdrama 3 and Tell Us.
I selflessly would want this, if it doesn't go to Brat, I would want this to go to Timeless
(53:58):
personally.
I would want that, but I think it's gonna go to Brat.
So yeah.
Best remixed recording, I don't care about that.
Rock performance, don't really care about that.
Rock we can...
I wanna see just if there is anything in R&B that I...
What is it here?
(54:20):
R&B and rap and spoken word, okay.
Best R&B performance, guidance by Jena Aiko, period.
Chris Brown, Rissy Jules, okay, whatever.
Coco Jones, oh, here we go, yes.
SZA Saturn, oh, oh, this is gonna be difficult.
I would want Jena Aiko to win sometimes.
Sometimes my girl needs to win.
(54:41):
I kinda would want Coco Jones to be fair.
Like that would be a big moment for her.
But I could see Saturn winning to be fair.
I could see that being actually in the end picked for this one.
So yeah.
Best R&B song, we have Saturn again, ruined me by Muni Long, Coco Jones, here we go.
(55:04):
Oh, my girl Coco Jones is getting in the R&B categories.
I'm so proud of her.
Again, I think it's gonna be either Here We Go or Saturn.
Albums, Kalani's here, Crush, okay.
Childish Gambino, No Worries and Afri Sunshine and Duran Bernard.
(55:26):
Duran Bernard is like here and Rout, shut the fuck up.
Selfish A would want Rout to win.
But also I think Kalani with Crush could also be that girl.
And then we have best R&B album.
Crace Brown, 11 11, shut the fuck up, no.
Muni Long, Revenge, Lucky Day, Algorithm, Usher Coming Home.
(55:51):
And you know what?
I don't want to express any opinions on that.
I don't want to talk about any of this.
Rap is good as well.
I think, I mean, don't really care about that that much.
But okay.
Wow, best believe I will be covering this when they get announced in 2025.
(56:16):
Is it?
Yeah, yeah, it is when they get announced.
But yeah, Grammy night is gonna be covered 100%.
Don't worry.
So I am excited, excited, excited.
This was so much fun.
I love the Grammy.
Grammy nights are my favorite thing to do.
It's just so much fun.
That and the Oscars.
So but yeah, gotta kind of close because it's like 56 minutes already.
(56:40):
But anyways, hope you guys enjoyed it.
Hope you guys enjoyed this episode and please go on with a smile.
Be happy.
Try to be happy as much as you can and slay the house on boots.
You are loved and bye.
Enjoy your week, enjoy your November, slayfall November.
Hey, welcome to the Overshare pamphlet.
(00:25):
My name is Rob and I am the host of this one-man show coming to you every Monday at 6am UK time.
And yeah, hope you guys are enjoying the podcast.
Today we're going to have a bit of a, I would say, maybe like a big discussion maybe.
(00:49):
I don't know, I mean it's been a very big week for pop culture, I guess.
Well, pop culture but also politics and all the above.
And you may know what I'm talking about, of course, if you are in the loop, which I hope you are, because what the fuck.
Yeah, so I'm going to be talking, of course, about the US presidential elections of this year.
(01:10):
Trump back in the White House, which is astonishing, but also quite scary for many reasons, which I will get into in a few moments, of course.
But also want to talk about Grammy nominations, because they all decided to like, you know, it always happens at the same time of the year.
(01:33):
So they just dropped like an hour ago, I think, something like that.
So I haven't actually looked at them, so I thought, what about a way of like doing an episode,
then to have also my reaction to the nominations and my, you know, possible predictions on who's going to win and all that stuff.
So I think that's a good also balance to the very depressing topic, which is the, of course, the US presidential elections, as I said.
(02:01):
But yeah, but let me, of course, first get into the songs of the week just to get a little bop in there, a little bop.
So this week, I've listened to not that much of a like new, you know, pool of songs, but I've had, you know, a few, just a few, just a few.
(02:39):
So first one is Dopamine by Bina and Stup Culture. This is a, I would say like it's an R&B, but Afro beat inspired R&B song,
which doesn't make any sense, but it kind of does, I guess.
And it's quite the, oh, quite the interesting track, I would say.
(03:05):
Like I've never heard anything like this, specifically, like R&B, but it has that Afro beat influence in that sense.
And I'm not really sure how to explain it, but it's very, very cool.
Very, very interesting track. The album itself, the EP is also very, very interesting.
So I would say if you'd like these type of songs, like the vibe itself, check it out on the Overshare Pamphlet Songs of the Week November 2024 playlist.
(03:32):
You can give it a go and if you like the song, you can possibly also check out more from Bina.
I really don't know much about the artist itself, but I just stumbled upon this song and I was like,
ooh, very, very unique, very unusual, unusual. I would say like quite special, like it sets itself apart from,
(03:55):
I guess, the rest of the R&B tracks that I normally listen to.
So yeah, cool. Now, I also want to talk about Sao Paolo by The Weeknd and Anita.
(04:16):
Now, contrary to, you know, the popular perception, I guess, of like The Weeknd,
I also support the, let's just say like, you know, the, I don't want to say the backlash,
but I sort of can see where it's coming from. Like he, after the idol, I don't think I can look at him in the same light,
(04:39):
but he's still very talented, I'd say as a musician, of course, and I think that's what he should have,
like, you know, stuck with, just making music, songs and all that stuff. But this song is very good, very, very good.
Anita is not really like singing, it's like sort of, I don't want to say rapping, but sort of, I guess,
(05:02):
just like mumbling throughout the track. And the beat of the song is the main purpose, I guess, of this track.
Very danceable, very club anthemy in that sense. So, yeah, like, girl, if you want to have a good time in Sao Paolo,
(05:30):
this is the song to listen to. I fucking know. But yeah, no, I honestly feel very captivated also by the way,
like the production itself changes a lot. It could have been like a very simple, standard, soulless song,
but it's really produced well and like it changes and it builds up throughout the entire track and it's just very, very good.
(05:52):
And I knew there was something special about this song when I first heard it in his live performance,
when he first debuted the song, but he never released it on streaming, but this is it. Very, very good. Now,
I want to include this track called, what the fuck is that? My Idol by Jordana and Paul Cherry.
(06:23):
This song is, if you listen to my episode about my favorite albums of the year, which include, of course,
well, the first one was My Favorite Favorite Album is Charmed by Clairo. I made a playlist based on the song
Glory of the Snow, which is very hippie, I guess like 70s and like 60s and 70s type of track and sort of
(06:58):
folky, I don't know, like very, yeah, very like Beatles, I guess, hippie sort of track. This sort of builds off of the same vibe.
It's in that playlist as well. And yeah, I just, I just like love the track. So it's just quite, quite the mood.
(07:26):
Very chill, very carefree. Yeah, sort of like that vibe. If you know anything about that, the Clairo album, like Charmed,
that's the sort of vibe that it's bringing as well. Very, very cool. Very, as I said, like very chill, very sort of feel good in a way.
(07:47):
It is about, to be fair, the crush that this girl has on her idol, like on this person who becomes her idol.
Hence the song being named my idol, but very cute, very demure. I've had enough of demure. Please take it out of the vocabulary.
Everyone is saying that. Enough. Yeah, there's a great track, great, great, great, great track. So yeah, you can find all these in the Songs of the Week
(08:20):
playlist of the month. November 24th, of course. So check it out. Give it a go. Give it a spin. And yeah, period.
Let's get into the real deal, which is, of course, first the, I want to talk about the elections. I want to put a disclaimer here, I guess,
(08:41):
just for clarity. I am not a US citizen by any sorts, by any stretch of the imagination. I'm not American. I'm not. I never lived in the US,
even though I visited the US one time in my whole life. I studied there three weeks. I think it was in total when I was in high school.
(09:03):
But that's pretty much it in terms of actually experiencing American life and American culture itself.
I mean, you could argue that you can experience American culture, I guess, through the dominance that the US has in terms of music and TV shows
and entertainment and all that stuff. So I guess in a way I am very much influenced and I have a very fiery passion when it comes to entertainment.
(09:29):
And I consume a lot of that specifically when it comes to music, of course, but also when it comes to TV shows, films and all the above.
But that does not stop me from not talking about the elections, because I think at the end of the day, it's a very important and global event,
(09:52):
I guess, that happened this week. And it is going to affect all countries in the world in one way or another.
And most of all, of course, the other Western countries and all the countries that the US has a close tie to, including the UK, where I'm currently based at.
So and politics is just something like global politics is something real, of course, if you know anything about politics is that, you know, we don't live on an island at all.
(10:22):
Everything is sort of going in ebbs and flows. And it is a game of different powers. And the stage is, you know, the global politics.
So you need to be aware of all these things and how these things can influence wider discourse, I guess, and wider power strategies.
(10:43):
And yeah, so on the one hand, I'm interested in the cultural aspect of it all.
Like I know it's a big cultural event in that sense, like a big, big moment for the US itself.
But also, I am very wary of the fact that this can be very dangerous for the rest of the world.
(11:04):
And yeah, I mean, if you know anything about the US, it is still regardless of how the elections are going, still and the economic situations and everything else,
it is still one of the biggest powers in the international scene.
So I mean, the dollars, the need to say more like that's the new standard, like the golden standard.
(11:29):
It's the dollar standard. Basically, we the dollar is the most powerful currency in the world.
So that alone should tell you how much you should take these things seriously.
So and the amount of businesses that are American owned and are spread out throughout the entire globe, that is also another sign of the chokehold.
But yeah, so I hope this is like enough of a good disclaimer to let you know that I am interested in this topic and I have a reason and a voice behind this.
(11:58):
And I sort of am allowed to speak.
Of course, I'm not going to be saying that like, you know, I'm not going to be pretending that I know America more than Americans, of course.
But I have also studied politics my whole life.
I have a degree, actually two degrees in politics.
So like, y'all, this is coming from me.
(12:19):
That sounds like the interest and all that stuff.
So. So, yeah, let's first discuss what happened.
Of course, as you may know, Trump has been reelected as the president of the United States and to some, myself included.
This was. I would say that the win itself is not a shocker, but I think mostly is the sweep that is a shocker.
(12:46):
Like even the Senate full Republican sweep and his margin of victory is actually quite noticeable.
He got 200. Well, for the ones that have been counted, he got 292, I believe.
electoral votes. So he dwarfed in a way Kamala Harris.
(13:08):
So Donald Trump is sort of, you know, a force in the other day to be reckoned with.
And it is a scary moment for a lot of women and a lot of LGBTQ members and a lot of, of course, minorities.
(13:28):
And, you know, it's a scary time for a lot of people in the US right now because there's a lot on the line.
There's a lot of liberal values that are being attacked and are being under discussion at the moment,
including, of course, about the autonomy and reproduction rights and all the above.
(13:53):
Like any anything that you could think of to be fair is now up for grabs to be fair.
Immigration and health and tourism and.
Pretty much anything that you could think of literally is now going to be under the knife and under the chopping board and.
Possibly going against the specifically would say like the lower classes and like the backbone of the US.
(14:22):
But. Yeah, and also I would say that the actual principles behind, you know, yes, politics.
So it's quite interesting to see how these things are going to change and to.
My greatest disappointment, I would say, is probably the fact that.
(14:43):
Like. What really, I guess, shocked me the most is how little now the news and.
Social media as well are sort of disproportionately.
Portraying like the political climate in the wrong way, like.
(15:06):
I think the real problem that happened here was that.
News outlets and you know.
Any sort of like. Like mean of reporting in a sense is well for the past few years has been extremely concerned with appeasing and like, you know, satisfying.
(15:27):
I guess like click the social media chatter in that sense, pandering towards social media and the clicks and all that stuff, right?
Instead of actually doing what they're supposed to, which is like to actually report facts and events for how they should be.
And why do I say this? Well, I don't know if you if you have been on.
(15:47):
Social media, you're no strangers, of course, to the amount of Republicans and the amount of conservative people on the on those apps.
But the problem I would say is that for first the these apps, these algorithms have evolved in such a way that they're again.
I think I've touched on this topic so many times also when it comes to like just generally music and any other sort of entertainment.
(16:11):
But this is also very true for politics and information and news.
But I would say like the algorithms are so now like so tailored to your own views and your own.
I guess preferences that you sort of live in an echo chamber no matter what, no matter what app you use and no matter what news outlets you.
(16:38):
Look for. You're going to be catered towards very specific information that you will like.
So you'll be living in this like huge bubble, as I said, that is going to simply feed into your delusions, which is very much what happened here.
I personally think like after this, like results like after the results of the elections, I think I am quite shocked to have.
(17:06):
I guess discovered them. Actually, there's still a huge margin of Americans that are extremely Republican.
And I'm not talking about simply white Americans and, you know, the typical Republicans and conservatives.
But I think what really was missed throughout these years was an accurate reporting of how many people were switching to the Republican ideals and to the conservatism of it all.
(17:33):
And the demographics of the of the turnouts are.
Simply telling you the same, basically like they're showing you some very interesting and scary facts like I'm talking even about amongst minorities and which usually I've been supporting.
Democratic Party for quite a long time.
(17:54):
They've also been starting to switch towards the other side, and I blame again the way these social media platforms are built and the way news outlets are reporting news and.
All of that. It's just again, I say, as I said, feeding into.
Your delusions and your bubble and like you're is only thing you actually see what's the truth and what's the cold.
(18:20):
Fact about society at the moment. So this was a big reckoning, I would say, and a big eye opener for a lot of us, maybe I would say, because I like turning on, you know, like it's shedding some light on.
Why the composition, I guess, of the electorate is at this point.
(18:41):
So, yeah, quite scary. So. Yeah.
And you know, they're on, I guess, like, well, it's still part of the same discourse, you know, but under point on that, I would say is.
It also showed a lot how individualism has become.
An extreme way of living in the US, the US has always been very individualistic, of course, like it's that is one of the core principles of like American liberalism and individualism.
(19:12):
But I think at this point, we're getting so far.
Away from any sort of modicum of social care and like, you know, community in that sense that it's just.
Getting everyone like separated and completely, I would say, like self selfless, she I don't know, viewing society in a way that is like just inimicably.
(19:40):
Like I would say that basically like. Everyone is voting for their own gain and they're not really caring about any, any, any people that they they don't love, even to be fair, like their neighbors.
They don't really care about them. No one cares about their community.
No one cares about even about their local community anymore.
They're just voting for their own personal, silly little pot of land.
(20:01):
And that's it. And I think it's quite scary again, as I said, because, you know, you cannot build a country over individuals who are not or at least pretend.
To be. Like, you know, not connected at all, like we still live in a world like in a country, like in a world that is like.
(20:22):
You know. Made up of social interactions and, you know, social groups, and it's important to foster to foster that, but I don't think it's happening anymore.
Like, I mean, it's quite, it's quite, it's quite, you know, scary. And. I don't know. I hope that things change over time, but.
(20:45):
I am concerned again that with this, this amount of, you know, catering again in the way people consume any sort of content and news and anything in general,
that people are going to be more and more segregated into their own little bubbles and are going to become, therefore, more and more individualist in the way they approach life in general.
(21:08):
So very scary. But let's get into the demographics. I think that's actually one of the most important parts of this topic.
But what I really wanted to first look at, what I searched for to be, what I was really interested in to see, like, how did this even happen was.
The first thing that came to mind was how many young people went to vote this time around and to well, not to my surprise, I was expecting this to be fair.
(21:32):
Out of the. Of course, out of the all all the voters that went to vote on.
For these elections, I think only I saw, I think it was the New York Times reported that nine percent was of all the voters were aged between 18 and 24.
And even less between 25 and 29.
(21:55):
So I think it's six percent for 25 to 29 and nine percent of the voters were 18 to 24.
So. Yeah. And of course, the majority lies within is that the older population, so 50 to 64, was 27 percent of the voters and 65 and all over was 28 percent of the voters.
So you can sort of understand as well why it is not. Well, you can see untapped potential, I guess, that could have really tipped the bounds for the good.
(22:28):
And I just am not surprised. I'm not surprised.
I think many times as well before in other episodes, young people are not not interested in voting.
They're not disillusioned with the system overall.
Just think of, I don't know, trouble run the way she approached the endorsement situation and all this stuff.
(22:49):
Young people do not think that either of the parties are worthy of listening to them.
I don't think they're actually. But I think on top of that is also a matter of.
Not being interested in politics at all or not being interested in the system that is governing them in a way.
(23:11):
I still think my personal view is that there is a possibility of change if you.
Exploit the system in the right way, and I think by that I mean is well.
I understand their anger and everything else, but if you can actually create some change that is visibly.
(23:36):
Favoring you in a way you should go for it. I understand that none of the candidates may ever be perfect or may ever be even remotely good or.
They're not going to represent your needs and your desires at all, and this is about so many other things like including Gaza, of course, and everything.
(23:59):
But I still think that in front of the status quo, you need to work within the constraints that you are finding yourself in in a way.
So I personally would have still voted for.
The better candidate, even though. Even if I don't believe that none of them are ideal, I still think it's pretty clear to me that between a felon and.
(24:27):
A very qualified at least politician, regardless of reviews, I would still consider voting a woman, of course, instead of a felon like this is what it boils down to.
I understand that the strategies used by the Democratic Party were not probably the best when they approached this election, and Trump is not stupid at all.
(24:51):
He knows what he's doing, of course, and that's part of why he also won. But I think that these demographics show you first off that, you know.
Who knows what would have happened if, you know, many.
A lot of young, many more young people went to vote and had a say in these things.
(25:14):
I personally think it would have been a much different outcome.
I'm not saying it would have been necessarily in favor of Kamala 100 percent, but I still think it would have given us a better picture even of what is going on.
But yeah, I also understand the frustration with the system itself, and I am sympathizing with so many people who don't think that they will ever be represented by these politicians.
(25:40):
But again, be the change that you want to see.
I think that wholeheartedly. So, yeah, maybe next in 40 years, maybe.
That's what parties should like, start aiming at, because I think there is still quite a big well, a big, you know.
Untapped potential in these demographics.
(26:04):
So, yeah, that's one.
The other thing that well, the thing is that I found very shocking was the demographic by race.
And it turned out for Trump spiked so much among Hispanic and Latino voters, like compared to 2020.
(26:27):
There was an increase of 13 percent of Hispanic and Latino voters for Trump.
So that is insane. Like 20 to 24, the split was 45 percent voted for Trump and 53 voted for.
What if we're. Harris, so that to me is insane.
(26:51):
Like 2020 was 30 percent voted for Trump, 65 voted for Biden Harry.
So clearly there is also a very interesting change in these demographics.
At the end of the day, you know that Trump is the new public and has said so many terrible things specifically about, you know,
Hispanic and Latino people as well. So I this makes you wonder basically like, oh, how is that even possible?
(27:16):
Well, I think the general consensus here is that working class is fed up with the demographic party.
They feel abandoned. They don't feel listened to. And I don't know to quote Sanders,
but I think he actually made a very great point in his post after the elections.
(27:40):
He said the demographic party is accountable for losing the trust of the working class.
Like, that's probably one of the main reasons why they couldn't even, you know, hold the blue line.
Right. So, yeah, I think this is like definitely a sign of that.
(28:02):
Like that is insane to me. There was even a small spike in Asian voters, plus four percent basically in in favor of the Republicans.
And yeah, what really seems to be consistent, fortunately, is the black voters portion of this election.
(28:28):
It's still pretty much the same as 2020. In 2020, every seven percent of black voters voted for Biden.
And in 2034, 86 percent voted for Harris. So at least that was consistent.
But it's always been consistent. Like this has always been the case most of the times for the elections.
(28:48):
Like black voters always support Democratic parties.
And that's at least a good sign that in that department, they have still achieved that.
But yeah, and to no surprise, of course, majority of white people voted for Trump.
So, again, not surprising.
Another interesting one, I would say, is support for Trump increase across genders.
(29:19):
So compared to 2020, like the 2020 elections, women.
More women voted for Trump and, of course, more men voted for Trump as well.
So, yeah, 44 percent of women voted for Trump, which is a two percent increase.
(29:41):
And there was also a one percent increase in men voters.
So, yeah. And if you want to get also to the niggerity,
there was a specific increase in. Hispanic and Latino men specifically voting for Trump this year.
(30:07):
And I think also Hispanic and Latino women voted for Trump even more.
So plus seven percent for Trump. So, yeah, not really not really encouraging.
But that's how it is.
Again, I said, like, it's a big reckoning moment because you can see that people are just not going to be caring as much about community anymore.
(30:36):
And they are fed up with, you know, they'd rather listen to someone who talks out of nonsense and, like, feeds their fears and all the above rather than, you know, supporting a party that at least has some, I guess, a modicum of interest in their own welfare.
(31:00):
But I well, I understand their side. I don't think they really communicated that very well and they have clearly not strived to bring the point home.
I think a great point that could have been used personally against the Republican Party was specifically the relationship that Trump has with Elon Musk and how this endorsement of Elon Musk may be very detrimental to specifically lower class workers.
(31:29):
Because, you know, they automation, AI tools and all the above are threatening to replace jobs that are, you know, mainly done by a lot of, you know, a lot of the well, there's no middle class anymore.
But, you know, most workers are going to be replaced by automation and by him, by Trump endorsing Elon, who is literally the main proponent for automation.
(32:03):
I think, you know, that's quite that's quite concerning.
And if I were the Democratic Party, I would have, you know, I would have, I don't know, driven the point of home. I would have like really, you know, emphasized how bad that is.
And I would have tried my best to, you know, protect, make sure that these people are protected and feel protected under the possible Harris presidency against automation.
(32:30):
That would have been a great I think it would have been a great counter move to Trump and his close collaboration with Elon Musk.
I'm sure Elon Musk now is like super happy that he won his bet and he got 20 billion dollars more.
What? He got 20 billion dollars richer. So boohoo to that.
Honestly, like quite disappointing, quite disappointing.
(32:53):
What the hell, America? What the hell?
But I guess on a positive note, let's try and spin this around, I guess.
It is what it is, you know, you can still, of course.
I guess. I mean, it's OK to feel sad.
It's OK to be disappointed in all this.
(33:14):
It's OK to be to feel scared because it is a scary moment.
But I would also suggest, you know, to not lash out and not judge people for who they voted.
It is what it is. You cannot do much about it.
And I would encourage people not to feed into this separatism that has just been destroying the country, the US specifically, but I think also in general everywhere else in the world.
(33:40):
It's been just a horrible trend of these latest years.
So I would encourage people to just be more, you know, more open.
First, of course, metabolize this whole thing, but also, you know, take some time, but also try not to be too confrontational and to and don't, you know.
(34:03):
Do not hold a grudge. It's it happens, whatever it is.
I think that they are choice of the country made.
And I hope I hope at least this is a lesson learned for the next election.
So that's that's all I hope for. But yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's get to something a bit more fun, hopefully not as depressing.
(34:26):
Let's get to the Grammy nominations 2025.
So, yeah, I said I haven't read any of these.
I just took a peek at Record of the Year because it is the first category that is shown on the Recording Academy's website.
But let's get into it. I'm going to more this is going to be my reaction to that because I haven't seen it.
But also my predictions, I guess, on who I want to win and who I think is going to win.
(34:52):
Oh, fireworks. Anyways, Record of the Year is an award to the artists and album producers and recording engineers and or mixers and mastering engineers.
So it is an award for.
The song overall, I would say, like the product itself, like the actual song, it's not about songwriting specifically,
(35:17):
but it's more about like the production and the moment the song itself brought to the table.
So here are the nominees now and then by the Beatles.
What the fuck? I saw that I was like shocked.
That's the only thing I saw that Texas Hold'em. OK, period.
Beyonce. Thank you, Beyonce. Espresso. Yes, Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter.
(35:40):
Yes, 360 by Charlie. OK, Charlie.
Charlie, this is huge for Charlie, actually.
This is insane. Record of the Year. What?
Birds of a Feather, of course, Philly was expecting that.
Unlike Oz by Kendrick Lamar. OK. OK.
Kendrick being nominated this year is just like such a big FU to, you know, to you know who.
(36:06):
Good Luck Babe. Oh, Chappell.
Chappell with Good Luck Babe is in Record of the Year.
OK, that's incredible. That's major.
These are all like she's a new artist and she's already nominated for record.
That is insane. We have the Trinity. We have Charlie.
We have Sabrina. We have Chappell.
The world has been just like just right now has been healed.
(36:30):
Now we have Fortnite. Pierre Riel.
And of course, it was whipped.
Not my favorite song off of torture poets, but I mean, she did the numbers.
She did the numbers for sure. So respect my girl, please.
Interesting, interesting mix. Very female centric.
(36:51):
I love that. Oh, this is so good.
It's so hard to choose. I personally think that.
Hmm. I would say personally,
Espresso should be. The.
The winner. I would love for Espresso to win.
(37:15):
Because I still think that it was a record of the year.
It was the song that at least everyone.
Had listened to, so it was a moment for the entire summer,
and it's still doing incredible numbers, and it was it's one of the most organic
and the most stable hits in the charts.
So I and I love Espresso is just such a fun song.
(37:39):
Such a good moment for for the girls.
So I would personally love to see Espresso win.
Do I think she's going to win? She could have a chance.
But I think. I think Birds of a Feather also may have a strong chance.
Billie Eilish is a Grammy darling in that sense, so it could it could happen.
(37:59):
100 percent.
Good luck, babe. I think.
I mean, I would love for that to win, but I don't know if Chapel.
I see Chapel is a bit of a wild card here because I don't know
if she is beloved by the Grammys or not.
(38:19):
What's their opinion on her?
So I guess we'll find out with these editions of the Grammys, but
it's already an incredible achievement for her as a new artist, as a fresh new artist
to be in the record of the year category.
Like this is one of the biggest categories, like among the three biggest categories of the Grammys.
So kudos to Chapel.
Congratulations, girl. I don't think Fortnite is going to win.
(38:42):
I think if anything, Fortnite is going to win for either
pop duo or whatever or well, not probably just that.
I don't think Fortnite is going to win, even though Taylor is also a Grammy darling.
I don't think the competition this year is quite strong.
So, yeah, it is getting good.
Album of the year.
(39:02):
OK, so we have New Blue Sun by Andre 3000.
I don't know about that.
I don't know anything about that.
So I don't know. I need to check it out.
Cowboy Carter by Beyonce. OK.
Short and sweet by Serena Carpenter.
Shut the fuck up.
Brat is nominated for Album of the Year. OK.
(39:23):
Jesse of Volume 4 by Jacopo Collier. OK period.
In the art itself, of course, of course, trouble, Ron DeRizzo.
Chapel. Chapel Rowan.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
What is going on?
Like, this is so big.
And the torture points department, of course, of course, of course, of course.
(39:45):
Um.
Let's see. OK, this is so difficult.
I would say. OK, my choice for who should win the album of the year.
It would be. Oh, fuck, I don't know.
(40:06):
Either Chapel Rowan or.
The torture points department.
And before I got attacked on the Internet, I love the torture points department.
It was a lay bloomer for me, but I have.
Discovered so many songs by like, you know, among the 30 and more tracks,
(40:30):
I've just covered so many moments on this album that I think is just a very interesting project.
And I think it is, in my opinion, a different thing for Taylor.
Like it was such an interesting, like I would say, lyrically, in a sense, like in writing wise,
such a different experience.
(40:50):
It's probably one of the most wordy albums she's ever done.
And she it's such a it's not simply confessional, I would say.
It's more like. Basically, just laying it all out and having no filter and sometimes even portraying yourself
in a very unflattering light, which is a very unusual thing for a pop star to do.
Like, she's had, of course, her moments for that, like meta songs and stuff.
(41:15):
But this was probably the biggest. Change in her.
In the discovery, discovery with this album, I think this brought and you see,
that's what I mean, this is what I mean, like when you look at these albums, you should,
I personally think you should look at them as how did they,
you know, change the trajectory of the artists, how do they show any evolution in the artists legacy?
(41:41):
And I think it does. I personally think the torture points department does.
You may disagree, of course, but I mean, it's just my opinion.
So, yeah, Trouble Run, I would love to win.
But I think it's also a debut album and I wouldn't.
I mean, as a project itself is like so.
(42:01):
Good and so cohesive, it's such a good pop perfection album.
But I would understand why it wouldn't win and also wouldn't say why the torture
points department wouldn't win, because I think it's not quite like torture points on the other hand.
It's like very non cohesive at all.
So and I think the Grammy usually don't like that.
So I don't think the torture point will win.
(42:21):
I don't think Trouble maybe will win.
I do think like objectively.
Brat should win. Personally, I could see Brat winning
because Brat itself was an entire moment.
It is showing such a big pivoting moment for Charlie.
It was such a huge breakthrough for her.
(42:41):
And I would be very pleased to see her win with that.
I could also see Hemi Ardensov winning.
But again, I don't see any evolution in that for Billy personally.
It was not my favorite album by Billie Eilish.
I think it's actually very much the same old for Billy in terms of production and everything else.
But it may win.
I said like Billy is a Grammy darling.
(43:05):
But the album, though, I'm not sure.
I would say Brat has a good chance.
I would say maybe even Cowboy Carter has a great chance of winning
because it is a big moment for Beyonce as well.
It is a very transformative album for her as well.
But yeah, Tornado Suite, I think it's a very good album personally,
but I don't think it's how to say, like strong enough to contend against the other people.
(43:31):
It's a project overall, even though it is also a big breakthrough for Tornado Suite,
but for Sabrina Carpenter, I still don't think.
I mean, these are also good.
I cannot like they're all very good nominations, I would say.
So at this point, anyone can take it home.
But I would be very pleased if Brat took it just because of the moment,
the entire album itself and the brand of the album itself had on the culture.
(43:53):
While Short and Sweet, I guess it wasn't really.
I mean, it was mostly the singles that were a moment,
but the album itself was a moment in itself, I would say.
But yeah, so Brat, Brat, I would put my money on Brat,
even though I want I would want to prepare all of them to go out with a win.
(44:15):
But yeah, let's get to Song of the Year.
Now, this is more about the songwriting.
So here we have to shift gears.
You know what I mean? This is a bit a bit different.
We have a bar song, Tipsy by Sean Cook and Gerald Jones and more.
Shaboosie, shaboosie, shaboosie.
Then Birds of a Feather, OK, Billie Eilish.
(44:38):
Dead with a Smile, oh, Lady Gaga, that's
that is a surprise to me, that is a surprise to me.
Fortnite, Jack Hanton of course produced it and all that.
So Taylor Swift and Post Malone.
Good luck, babe.
Chabron, period, period.
(44:59):
No, like us by Kendrick Lamar, period.
Please, please, please.
Like I'm gonna carpenter is here and Texas Hold'em by Beyonce, period, period, period.
Hmm.
Now, who would I want to win?
I would say I want please, please, please to win.
(45:20):
If you listen to my episode on that,
I did say that I want to please, please to be the song of the year in my opinion.
And I still see I could see it winning, to be fair, because the
the songwriting on this was just so strong.
I would say like the flirtyness and the humor behind it was just incredible.
(45:44):
So, yeah.
That would be a great contender.
Let's see.
I don't know.
I feel like.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Interesting.
Birds of a Feather, I don't think it would win.
I think if anything, Birds of a Feather is gonna win record of the year.
(46:07):
I don't think song of the year in that sense would be Birds of a Feather.
Because I don't know.
I feel like the content of the song itself is just good, but it's not outstanding.
Like please, please, please, in my opinion.
Like please, please, please is like comical, but also sharp and captivating.
It's just like so different and so, so good.
(46:31):
Good Luck Baby is also very good, to be fair.
It's a good song, like written song.
It's such an interesting song, writing wise.
For Night, I don't think it deserves to win.
There's so much better in the torture boys department that could have been chosen for
that, but I understand it's the biggest song out of that.
(46:52):
I would say please, please, please has a great chance of winning, to be quite frank.
To be quite frank.
It could also be Kendrick Lamar.
It may be.
But I think please, please, please has a great chance of winning and I think I would want
that to win as well.
So period.
Okay, now we get to best new artist.
This is interesting.
I am ready for this.
So this is about specifically artists who achieved a breakthrough.
(47:14):
It's not simply, like it's not about actual new artists that came out on the scene this
year, but it's more about artists that became famous this year.
So we have Manson Boone, Sabrina Carpenter, period.
Dochi, oh yeah.
Crank Bin, I don't know who that is.
Ray, of course, okay, period.
Chappell Rohn, okay.
(47:35):
Shabuzy, and Teddy Swims, okay.
I could see to be fair this going to any of these country artists, male country artists,
like Teddy Swims and such.
I could see that because they, I don't know if they have a big breakthrough.
I wouldn't be discounting that.
But if I were to go with my own gut, it would go to Chappell Rohn.
(48:01):
Like I would want Chappell to be the one winning, even though Sabrina also deserves it.
This was the breakthrough as well, to be fair.
I think Chappell is in every sense of the word, a full breakthrough.
She is a new artist.
She came on the scene properly this year, in terms of, that's the only project she has.
That's it.
That's a proper breakthrough artist.
(48:23):
So I would want her to win, but also would be happy with Sabrina winning.
Dochi, I write for you, girl.
I don't know, the competition is very strong.
So again, I wouldn't be surprised if Teddy Swims or Manson Boone or whatever, any of these
artists win.
But I would want Chappell, I think.
I think Chappell would be good.
(48:43):
I think there's so much.
I think Grammys can be generous and spread it around, because there are so many deserving
moments here.
But yeah.
Producer of the year, I'm interested in that.
Alissa, Alissa who produced Bugs, Don't Matter, Honey, Is It Worth It, Spend the Night and
all that.
(49:04):
Then we have Dernst and Mya, Emil II.
Emil II, sorry, what the fuck.
He produced, that was a Smile Bar song.
He produced One of Them Ones, I Love You by Usher as well.
Period, okay.
I suspect Jack Hansen of Indenigro are going to be also nominated.
(49:27):
Ian Fitchock for Beyonce.
Okay.
Mustard for Kendrick Lamar and Travis Scott.
Dan Nigro is here, okay.
Period.
Oh, Jack Antenoff is not nominated.
Interesting.
Even though he has production credits on both Short and Sweet and To Don't Shoo Boys.
(49:51):
Okay.
I would say maybe Dan Nigro could win this time around.
You know, like he deserves it, because he produced for Chappell, Olivia and, you know,
For example, You Love Can't Catch Me Now, he produced that for Olivia.
He produced The Rise and Fall of a Mid-Wes Princess, so he produced an entire album by
Chappell.
I mean, he produced a lot of stuff that I think are worthy.
(50:15):
I would want him to win personally.
Ooh, Sunrise of the Year, Non-Classical.
Do we care about that?
Not really.
Oh, Rey is there.
Rey, you better win.
Best Pop Solo Performance, New Vocal or Instrumental Pop Recordings.
Okay, so performance.
Bodyguard by Beyonce, period.
(50:38):
That's my favorite song.
Espresso, okay.
Apple, Charlie XTX, period.
Birds of a Feather, good luck, babe.
Good luck, babe.
100%.
If we're talking about pop solo performance, vocals and everything, good luck, babe.
100%.
100%.
I'm so sorry, but there's no competition.
(50:58):
Okay, this is interesting.
Best Pop Duo or Group Performance.
We have...
What?
Okay, us, Gracie Abrams and Taylor Swift, not gonna win.
Levi's jeans, Beyonce with Post Malone, okay, interesting.
Guess who?
Oh, things are changing here.
(51:20):
The Boyz Mine.
With this, I don't understand.
The Boyz Mine is Ariana Grande.
What the fuck?
Where is Eternal Sunshine?
It's not in any of these.
What?
What?
I just realized that Ariana Grande was not nominated for any of these, and that was one
of my favorite albums of the year, so disappointed.
(51:41):
But also, this doesn't make any sense.
It's a remix, and they don't really do much.
The song wasn't really a movement at all, so no.
And then it's Die With a Smile, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars.
I think it's between Die With a Smile or Guess.
No.
I think Die With a Smile is gonna win.
(52:06):
I think that's what God is telling me.
I think it's more in the realm of possibility, I would say.
So I think Die is gonna win.
Pop vocal album, short and sweet, Hit Me Hard and Soft, Eternal Sunshine, there it is.
Please.
It's Chapel Rowan and the Torture Boys Department.
(52:28):
I would want this.
This has to go to Ariana Grande.
I don't fucking care.
Bitch, you need to give it to her.
I am gonna riot if this doesn't happen.
She deserves at least one Grammy.
Please.
Dance and electronic.
Do we really care about that?
Not really.
(52:48):
But K-Tron is there with you with...
Ooh, Jalilio is gonna make a...
Yeah.
K-Tron, please win.
Best dance pop recording, make you mine, Madison Beer, Von...
Oh, Madison Beer?
Von Dutch, Charlie X...
Oh, La Morte A Mi Vie, Billie Eilish, whatever.
Yes and ooh, and Got Me Sorry by Troye Sivan.
Okay, okay, okay.
They're saying the girls and gays aren't this one.
(53:16):
Dance pop, dance pop.
La Morte A Mi Vie, Dema Vie?
No.
Von Dutch?
Well...
Yeah, could be.
I will give it to Yes and ooh.
That was a house popper perfection in my opinion, so...
And Max Marley produced it, so...
(53:37):
Yeah.
I will go either Yes and or Von Dutch.
Those are my...
Oh, but best dance and electronic album, Brat, period.
We have Timeless by K-Tron, oh, that's good.
Hyperdrama 3 and Tell Us.
I selflessly would want this, if it doesn't go to Brat, I would want this to go to Timeless
(53:58):
personally.
I would want that, but I think it's gonna go to Brat.
So yeah.
Best remixed recording, I don't care about that.
Rock performance, don't really care about that.
Rock we can...
I wanna see just if there is anything in R&B that I...
What is it here?
(54:20):
R&B and rap and spoken word, okay.
Best R&B performance, guidance by Jena Aiko, period.
Chris Brown, Rissy Jules, okay, whatever.
Coco Jones, oh, here we go, yes.
SZA Saturn, oh, oh, this is gonna be difficult.
I would want Jena Aiko to win sometimes.
Sometimes my girl needs to win.
(54:41):
I kinda would want Coco Jones to be fair.
Like that would be a big moment for her.
But I could see Saturn winning to be fair.
I could see that being actually in the end picked for this one.
So yeah.
Best R&B song, we have Saturn again, ruined me by Muni Long, Coco Jones, here we go.
(55:04):
Oh, my girl Coco Jones is getting in the R&B categories.
I'm so proud of her.
Again, I think it's gonna be either Here We Go or Saturn.
Albums, Kalani's here, Crush, okay.
Childish Gambino, No Worries and Afri Sunshine and Duran Bernard.
(55:26):
Duran Bernard is like here and Rout, shut the fuck up.
Selfish A would want Rout to win.
But also I think Kalani with Crush could also be that girl.
And then we have best R&B album.
Crace Brown, 11 11, shut the fuck up, no.
Muni Long, Revenge, Lucky Day, Algorithm, Usher Coming Home.
(55:51):
And you know what?
I don't want to express any opinions on that.
I don't want to talk about any of this.
Rap is good as well.
I think, I mean, don't really care about that that much.
But okay.
Wow, best believe I will be covering this when they get announced in 2025.
(56:16):
Is it?
Yeah, yeah, it is when they get announced.
But yeah, Grammy night is gonna be covered 100%.
Don't worry.
So I am excited, excited, excited.
This was so much fun.
I love the Grammy.
Grammy nights are my favorite thing to do.
It's just so much fun.
That and the Oscars.
So but yeah, gotta kind of close because it's like 56 minutes already.
(56:40):
But anyways, hope you guys enjoyed it.
Hope you guys enjoyed this episode and please go on with a smile.
Be happy.
Try to be happy as much as you can and slay the house on boots.
You are loved and bye.
Enjoy your week, enjoy your November, slayfall November.
