to get back on board with the ship. Yeah, bark,
let's get into the three things we need to know.
Let's get on with the day. What's going on, Gandy?

Speaker 9 (05:52):
All right, Major airlines, media organizations, businesses, and police forces
around the world are currently being affected by a mass
of IT glitch caused by a problem with Microsoft cloud
computing services that happened early this morning. Flights have been
grounded in several countries, and stores and broadcasters in several
countries went offline as the outage affected Windows PCs. The

(06:13):
FAA says Delta, United and American Airlines have temporary have
temporarily grounded all flights regardless of their destination, and it's
unclear how long that grounding will last. Frontier Airlines grounded
their flights on Thursday due to the Microsoft outage, but
those flights.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
Have since resumed.

Speaker 9 (06:31):
Other US airlines are also reporting difficulties, including with booking,
checking in, and other online functions, as some international airlines,
including Quantus and Virgin Australia, are also shutting down. A
German Man seems to be cured of HIV. He is
the seventh case recorded. The man was treated with a
stem cell transplant for acute miliod leukemia in twenty fifteen.

(06:54):
He's been in remission since at least twenty eighteen, and
tests have shown no signs of HIV in his body.
The man who wants to remain anonymous said something very profound,
which I'm sure we've heard before. A healthy person has
many wishes, a sick person only has one. The case
will be presented next week at the twenty fifth International
AIDS Conference in Munich. And finally, Tender is doing something interesting.

(07:16):
They introduced an AI powered feature called Photo Selector that
will help users choose the best.

Speaker 5 (07:21):
Picks for their dating profiles.

Speaker 9 (07:23):
The app is using a tool up for facial recognition
to curate a diverse selection of images, aiming to increase
your chance of finding a match. The process is conducted
on a user's device and doesn't require that user to
upload their camera role. The rollout for iOS and Android
devices is set to begin in the US this month,
with international availability expected later in the month.

Speaker 5 (07:44):
And those are your three things?

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Are you ready for your Friday? Hello?

what happens this time of summer that drives me insane.
It always happens this this at this point in the
summer summer season.

Speaker 12 (08:28):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (08:29):
Oh, I have a guess, Can I guess it?

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (08:32):
Is it people start talking about the end of summer.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yes, yeah, you get so mad.

Speaker 12 (08:40):
It's still summer. When is summer technically end? I think
it's summer through August.

Speaker 5 (08:45):
I mean it's hot, it's September sometimes September.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, don't look at the calendar. Summer is a it's
a feeling. It's not It's not a calendar thing.

Speaker 11 (08:55):
They really should not let the kids go back until
on the calendar. Summer is no longer summer.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 13 (09:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (09:02):
Maybe yeall the first day of fall you go back.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Summer is a it's a state of mind. Yes, it
isn't something you found on a calendar.

Speaker 9 (09:10):
I think Danielle's part of the problem though, why he
starts counting down the Halloween right now.

Speaker 5 (09:14):
She's got Christmas movies going.

Speaker 11 (09:16):
I would celebrate Halloween three hundred and sixty five days
a year.

Speaker 5 (09:19):
It doesn't matter that.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
It's not done you Yeah, can we just slow down
on the Hallmark Channel Christmas movies just a moment.

Speaker 8 (09:27):
Those are also wonderful every day.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
So you know, like we have our big Z one
hundred Summer Bash coming up in the beginning of August.
I can't wait to be outside at Hudson Yards, totally
free concert. It's gonna be amazing. Is it called end
of Summer Bash or summer bast summer Bat?

Speaker 10 (09:41):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Thank god? Yea, yeah, you know who stopped to stop
the end thing? You I'm not coming saying if you
keep saying it's the end of summer, I don't blame it.
It's our summer Bash because summer ain't ending. I'm I'm
not ending summer till November this year.

Speaker 14 (09:55):
This is a good one.

Speaker 5 (09:55):
I'm so excited about this war.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Oh my god. So Gandhi and I we have this date,
a stand date every morning to join up in the
break room to make coffee. Yes, so today we're in
there and here comes Scary. He has his coffee. He
walks over to the refrigerator that the entire floor uses.
He starts looking for milk for his coffee, and we're like, well,

(10:19):
what are you doing need some milk? Well, that's not
your milk, that's other people's milk. Wow. I always just
use milk that doesn't have someone's name on it. If
the name is on it, it's off limits.

Speaker 15 (10:32):
But if I don't see a name on it, it's
not like I'm like trying to have a bowl cereal
with my milk. It's not like I'm having a glass
and milk. It's a little little teaspoon of milk.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
No, just to add to that's someone else's milk.

Speaker 16 (10:45):
Yeah, okay, I think I'm okay, and I'm in and
I'm in.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
The clear, and that's okay. That's that's where we're wrong.
That's where you are wrong.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Is milk.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
It is someone else's milk. You cannot change the fact
it's someone else's milk.

Speaker 5 (10:59):
Well has a name.

Speaker 9 (11:00):
Nobody's providing community groceries in that fridge. So somebody brought
that milk in. Maybe they were just negligent and didn't
think they had to write their name on it for
it to not be stolen.

Speaker 16 (11:09):
But if I taken rappers worth of milk, would they
notice milk.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
It's like the day you walked into my office and
you took my delongy what was it was a toaster oven?
Did you take it out of my office because I
didn't write my name on it?

Speaker 16 (11:24):
Well, we were breaking for vacation and it had been
sitting there for six months or house.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
See, here's the thing with you. You have these weird
lines of justification in your head where you feel, Okay,
there's an expiration, even though it's in your office, I
can take it. Oh, it's someone else's milk. I don't care.
They didn't put their name on it. It's mine.

Speaker 8 (11:41):
Do you go in there every morning and take that milk?

Speaker 2 (11:44):
No?

Speaker 16 (11:44):
No, today I needed milk in.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
A little much.

Speaker 15 (11:48):
In the case of the toaster, I didn't know it
was earmarked for one of you know, one of yours.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
It's in my office.

Speaker 9 (11:56):
But also with the milking, you don't know what's going
on with that milk. If it's someone else is they
could come in and just drink straight from it. Yes,
Scotty says they could be putting their dinger right Scotty.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Scotty believes that if anyone puts anything in the refrigerator
they've had sex with it. That's how I mark my milk.

Speaker 8 (12:13):
What do you mean, that's how you mark your stick
it in there once that's mine, don't drink the milk.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
We got to move on. That's the end of it.
That's the end of the conversation.

Speaker 17 (12:28):
Scary milk that you know.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
One time I said this is scary. I turned this
off for a second. I said, scary is the reason
why you steal things, is the reason why you always
blame your upbringing from I'm from Brooklyn because you know
everyone there. You're saying everyone in Brooklyn is sticky fingers.

Speaker 16 (12:49):
See I stopped saying it out loud, but that's what comes.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
To the line. So you're saying you take other people's
milk and toaster rovens because you're from Brooklyn, and you
think if you're from Brooklyn, Brooklyn, it's You're it's like
pulling over a fucking pulling all the merchandise off the bat.

Speaker 5 (13:02):
It's a fieving community.

Speaker 16 (13:03):
I feel like it's in my DNA.

Speaker 13 (13:04):
You know.

Speaker 6 (13:06):
Oh my god, as someone also born in Brooklyn spent
the first part of you gotta stop scary. That is
not the case.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Yeah, you're you're making the honest citizens in Brooklyn looks
really mad. Yeah, we're not living. This is not Good Fellas,

of Michael Strahan shared the news on her utie te channel.
In a new episode of her vlog Goodbye Hospital. She
shared that she went in an MRI got the great
news after going through lots of treatments eight months after
she got a brain tumor diagnosis. So we are so

happy for her. It's so amazing and Michael must feel
just incredible. Travis Scott is helping people impacted by Hurricane
Beryl working with the Cactus Jack Foundation. He hosted an
emergency relief drive in Missouri City, Texas. He distributed lots
of essential items like water and food to impacted Texas communities,

(19:32):
also helping over two thousand families, and he did a
bunch of other things, which is pretty cool. Meghanie Stallion
also stepped up to help out her hometown of Houston
following the devastation of the hurricane. She's helping a lot
of the senior citizens because of a lot of the
senior citizens suffer without electricity and a bunch of other stuff,
and it's very painful to watch. So she has been

(19:53):
helping out there. I love when celebrities do good things.
And German police arrested and Americans stalking Taylor Swift.

Speaker 2 (20:01):

and it was this high tech security that helped him
help them id the stalker he tried to get into
the concert.

Speaker 8 (20:12):
He's already threatened her.

Speaker 11 (20:13):
He's already threatened her boyfriend, and so they have decided
that they are going to hold on to this guy
until her tour has finished. So that's how they're going
to keep her safe. So they had facial recognition. What
technology can do nowadays, it's Insane Really Twisters is in

(20:54):
stuff to watch this weekend.

Speaker 8 (20:55):
And that is my Danielle report.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
Here we go with the day. And uh, I was
just checking on this morning. I love ripping Reddit it
all think not so much stuff. Yeah, fifteen real life
cheat codes which may or may not give you thirty lives.
Oh all right, I'm not going to do them all
because some of them I don't like. Diarrhea is the
best excuse to get out of anything, Yeah, kind of.

(21:17):
No one questions it, and no one expects you to
go to the doctor. I've got diarrhea, can't go Okay,
we don't want you there. Confidence can get you super far,
even if you're just acting confident totally. Yeah, so true.

Speaker 9 (21:32):
Even just if you can present something, even if it's wrong,
as we see all the time, if you present it confidently,
people believe you.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
If you do have to email someone, don't fill out
the recipient thing until the email is done, because you
don't want to send an email that's not correct or
it's not complete.

Speaker 8 (21:49):
That is a good idea.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
I've never heard that one before.

Speaker 5 (21:51):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 9 (21:52):
And also, if you're angry and just firing something off,
write the email first, read it over, and.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
Then yeah so yeah, yeah, if you put their name
like I'm pissed off a gandhi and then you little bla, no,
you know what you did. You may be mad, but
you know I hate you can't send so you can't
just send it. You got to think about it. Yeah,
put their name in their last People love talking about
themselves more than they like hearing about you. You know that, right,

(22:16):
So when you interact with people at work or wherever
at play, remember one little thing about them that's interesting
doesn't have to be their name. Yeah, it could be
something about their kid or the food they love. So
every time you see them in the future, go back
to that and they remember that conversation. I like that one.
Talk positive about people behind their backs.

Speaker 8 (22:35):
You do that, I try to. I mean every now
and then, you know, I think we all every now
and then a little Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
You need to have friends who are older than you
and younger than you.

Speaker 8 (22:45):
Hell yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
When you reha when you reheat rice in the microwave,
it makes you put a little water on it. Oh
my gosh, yes, keeps it fluffy. Are you writing these down, Froggy,
I'm totally writing down water on rice, water on. Make
people laugh within a minute of meeting them, and they'll
remember you.

Speaker 5 (23:06):
Okay, that's a tough one.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yeah, how do you do that?

Speaker 5 (23:08):
Tickle them?

Speaker 17 (23:08):
Maybe?

Speaker 2 (23:09):
Yes, be yourself and tackle them. Let's see what else
is on this list. Clean while you're cooking? Do you
a clean as you go? Ang as you go?

Speaker 10 (23:17):
Girl?

Speaker 3 (23:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (23:18):
No, I make a mess and then I'm angry about it.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
I like this one. Never commit a crime during the
commission of another crime. For example, if you're transporting illicit substances,
don't go speeding around in a car, get busted with
a tail light it or expired tags. One crime at
a time, straight Nate, Yeah, yeah, I don't know any
life hacks we should be learning and thinking about this weekends.

(23:44):
Just be kind to people, Yeah, just be nice.

Speaker 9 (23:47):
I think learning a little bit about public speaking and
getting a grasp on public speaking will help everybody everywhere.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
How do you do that? Because I've never really been
good at public speaking.

Speaker 5 (23:56):
I don't know, still working on it myself, but it
seems like a really great skill to have.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Many people say, Oh, you're on the radio every day,
Sure you can public speak. No, it can't.

Speaker 8 (24:03):
This is totally different, and there's like nobody here. It's
just us. We've talked to each other, nobody listens. What
are you talking about out there?

Speaker 19 (24:11):
Hey?

Speaker 2 (24:11):
Why do we have so many people on today? It's
just like the best show ever with interviews. I kind
of like that.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
What you do.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
Yeah, every once in a while it works out. It's
feast or famine around here is poor. But I also
love our shows when we have no one into I
do too. I think we have a lot of fun
then too. I don't know, it just happens, all right.
We start with Shawnee. We start with SHAWNA, You're gonna
eat some food? Who you guys are? And then Joe
Jonas and the Shamala's shamamahs Sha shamalas Can I tell

(24:37):
them the secret about the interview? What about it? We
had to record something. We recorded the interview with them
two days ago. Was it two days ago?

Speaker 10 (24:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (24:48):
And Uh, I introduced them as m Night and Shalama.
I said their name wrong, but they didn't correct you.
They didn't because they're polite.

Speaker 5 (25:00):
I think you might still be saying it incorrectly.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Shamala, No, Shamalan Shamalan.

Speaker 8 (25:10):
I knew you were going to say that eventually, so
we went back.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
And re recorded the opening of the interview where it
has me sounding, which you still got wrong when we
recorded it. You got it wrong initially and we had
to correct you again.

Speaker 11 (25:21):
We should have corrected you because my dad says, your
name is important. Is someone gets it wrong, you should
always correct them.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Well, they're being very polite. Anyway, it's a great interview,
except for the fact I butchered their name. Anyway, it's
a busy day. It's a Friday. Let's get into the
weekend and have some fun. Hi. I'm Sam Smith, This Isex.
This is Jon on the Morning show.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Iran in the Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
You know, you gotta be careful when you name your baby,
especially an unusual name, even though in Ireland there's a
name that stems from the name Anna. It's Annally. Oh,
but it's spelled spell it's a N N A L Y.

(26:29):
I see what you did there, so well I didn't
do it. So people are online are this is all
over all over online.

Speaker 3 (26:35):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
There was a sign put up outside this birth birth center,
welcome to the world. Anally seven pounds ten ounces sounds Wow.

Speaker 4 (26:48):
I know.

Speaker 8 (26:49):
I didn't even know you could give birth that way.
That's painful.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
I don't I don't want to make fun of anyone's
culture in Iren in Ireland, Annally it's a an al
Why but just keep that in mind. It's a little
Friday reminder. Uh, you were talking about the caves they
found on the moon.

Speaker 9 (27:12):
Yeah, yeah, anymore on that, Not that I have research
since that moment, but I'm sure you have something.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
Yes, it's just there's I guess it's gonna make it
like a little little little hobbit house, little place to
live on the moon, like a little shelter.

Speaker 5 (27:27):
Right, they're turned into shelter for astronauts.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
That's cool.

Speaker 8 (27:31):
I think it should be a bed and breakfast and
sending all of us up their staff.

Speaker 5 (27:35):
Let's ruin the moon. You already did it to Earth.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
Let's mess up another. It's next. They're saying it's the
size of like fourteen tennis courts. I mean, it's big.

Speaker 5 (27:44):
Why do we measure things so weird? I don't know,
fourteen tis.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
They're saying it could be like a little great place
to base for exploration to the moon. I love that.
Speaking of astronauts, I know we all want to be one.
Hell yeah, it's hard to enjoy food in space because
your taste buds are shifted beyond belief and it makes
things smell differently. So keep that in mind before you

(28:10):
become an astronaut.

Speaker 8 (28:11):
Don't they do all they freezed food?

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Like the freeze the freeze dried food.

Speaker 8 (28:15):
Isn't that what they eat up there?

Speaker 2 (28:17):
I guess? But I still you need flavor? Yeah, come on,
any more about that meteorite that flew over New York City.

Speaker 5 (28:23):
No, and I still haven't seen the video. We've been
trying to find it. It's somewhere.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
It is such a busy day. Like I said, Joe
Jonas is on the way. Our friend Shawnee from Shawnee's
Houses on the way soul Food. She'll be here any
minute now. She's got a big idea, great announcement for
New York City. I love people like Shawnee. And even
if you can't be here to eat, but you need
to go to a restaurant. People like Shawnee have these

(28:47):
big ideas and their dreams. But the difference between a
dream and success is you gotta make your dream come true.
And she's done that with a restaurant and other things.
Now she's going to make this event happen, and you're
gonna hear it happen right on our show. I love that.
Can we go around the room a little early today?

Speaker 5 (29:05):
I did find video of the meteor streaking across the sky.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
The metiaor is right there.

Speaker 5 (29:10):
Yeah, it's just a little it's a white streak.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
Right, yeah, kind of cool. How big was that?

Speaker 1 (29:16):
This?

Speaker 2 (29:16):
It was really small?

Speaker 5 (29:18):
How big was the actual meteor. Yeah, I don't know,
I know how far away.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
It was like the size of a ball or something.
What size of seven geese?

Speaker 1 (29:28):
A weird?

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Why do we Why do we measure things like that?

Speaker 5 (29:32):
And I'm sure it's only America that does it this way.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
It was the size of seven peanut butter jelly sandwiches,
so stupid. Let's go around the room. If you listen
to this time every day. This is something we usually
do an hour from now, but since we are so
packed in the Mercedes Benz Interview Lounge, we're gonna do it.
Producer Sam mushroom ravioli for dinner last night, Yes, pretty
good soul food for breakfast on Friday. You're doing okay?

(29:54):
What's on?

Speaker 13 (29:56):
One thing I want to get better at is complimenting
strangers because like a compliment people I know and love,
but there's just something about a compliment from a stranger
that is awesome.

Speaker 6 (30:05):
It is top tier.

Speaker 13 (30:06):
I was walking my dog yesterday and I must have
been having a good hair day because I got not one,
but two nice comments from random people.

Speaker 6 (30:12):
It said, hey, nice curls, And I'm still feeling so
good about it.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
I don't know why.

Speaker 6 (30:16):
It's like feels.

Speaker 10 (30:17):
Better like that.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
You need to own it because a lot of people
that have curly hair like you, they think it's a curse.

Speaker 6 (30:22):
It took a while, Elvis, but I'm here now.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
I love it. It's beautiful, Thank you so much.

Speaker 5 (30:26):
But there's just something.

Speaker 13 (30:26):
About hearing something nice from a stranger passing by that
just makes you feel so good.

Speaker 6 (30:30):
So I want to get better at that. And I
think we should all compliment a stranger this weekend.

Speaker 14 (30:34):
Do it.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
Yeah, When people walk past me, they say things like,
did you just fart?

Speaker 6 (30:40):
It's my natural mosk?

Speaker 2 (30:41):
Hey, Danielle, what's up?

Speaker 13 (30:42):
So?

Speaker 8 (30:42):
I have a new food obsession.

Speaker 11 (30:44):
It's it's kind of stupid, but it's amc flat bread beetza.

Speaker 5 (30:49):
Oh it looks so good.

Speaker 13 (30:51):
Have you had it?

Speaker 2 (30:52):
I heard it from the movie theater, Yes, from the
movie theater.

Speaker 11 (30:55):
Really, I have to have it every time I'm there,
and then I crave it. It is so I don't
know what it is about it. It's so delicious, and I.

Speaker 8 (31:03):
Love that I can eat it in the dark and
not have to look at what I'm eating.

Speaker 11 (31:06):
It's and I start thinking about it, I'm like, I
guess I could just go even if I'm not going
to the movies, just get a pizza and leave you.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
To buy a ticket to pizza.

Speaker 11 (31:14):
I think about that about the popcorn at the movie
theaters too. I'm like, you don't have to have a ticket.
You can just go buy the popcorn and leave if
you really like the popcorn. So I think this week
I'm gonna do that. I'm gonna go get the pizza
even if I'm not going to watch a movie.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
But we would welcome you in with open arms. Hey, Nate,
what's up?

Speaker 10 (31:28):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (31:29):
You going for a walk today?

Speaker 1 (31:30):
This?

Speaker 13 (31:31):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Absolutely okay. You're going for a walk there. Okay, So
when you do, take yourself a bag for trash, be
a good citizen. Pick up the litter that you see
along the way. The last time I took a hike,
I picked up the equivalent of four soccer balls. How
about that. There's no way I'm doing that.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
I know, I know.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
It's a good idea. That's a good idea. I'll be
walking in New York City, so I need a lot
of bags so you don't have to touch anything. Lot
of grabber, yeah, to touch up.

Speaker 8 (32:02):
I don't want to get me a grabber.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
You know, when we go for dogwalks. We always have
the poop bag. Hey, what's up there? Speaking of poop bags, Hey, scary?
What's up?

Speaker 1 (32:16):
So?

Speaker 15 (32:17):
I inherited my grandparents and my aunt Millie's coin collection.
I didn't know that that's what they did in the
nineteen fifties and sixties. They collected the silver dollars and
all the quarters, stuff that had real silver in it.

Speaker 10 (32:28):
Well.

Speaker 15 (32:28):
I found an app called coin snap. If you have
a coin collection at home, even if it's foreign currency,
you could just scan it and it will grade your coin.
It will tell you how much it's worth. This is
out of control. So I've been sitting there trying to
go through my money to try and see now how
much everything is worth and if there's like imperfections or
if it's one of those collectors coins.

Speaker 16 (32:48):
Coin snap will let you know.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
This is not every day.

Speaker 16 (32:51):
I'm not yet.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
You should check out your grandma's her Pokemon cards. There
could be something worth something in there. There may be anyway.
Check it out. Froggy, what's up with you today? Doing
something super cool?

Speaker 12 (33:04):
This afternoon? So here in Jacksonville, we're doing a school
supply drive, trying to fill a bus with school supplies.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
Uh huh.

Speaker 12 (33:10):
So this afternoon, that's what I'm going to do, going
to go try and collect school supplies and fill an
entire school bus with school supplies for kids in need
as they get ready to go back to school.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
That's awesome stuff abus hoping we can do it. Where
are you going to be doing that?

Speaker 12 (33:22):
We're going to be in Orange Park at the Staples
on Blading and Kingsley, But just bring school supplies by.
We're giving stuff away, but at the same time, just
trying to collect school supplies enough to fill a giant
yellow school bus.

Speaker 17 (33:33):
I love you doing That's awesome.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
All right, thanks for getting the word out. And finally, Gandhi,
what's going on with you?

Speaker 1 (33:37):
All right?

Speaker 9 (33:37):
If you're looking for something to watch this weekend, the
Olympics are coming up and I'm obsessed with the series
on Netflix called Sprint.

Speaker 5 (33:43):
It's very short, very digestible.

Speaker 9 (33:45):
It's all about the runners, the sprinter specifically in the Olympics,
and it's fascinating. I think a lot of athletes get
a lot of attention and shine like the gymnasts. We
all talk about them when we focus on them, and
not as many people focus on the runners. But they
have really wild and interesting stories and it's just amazing
to watch how hard they work for ten seconds.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
Sprint, Yes, where's it.

Speaker 5 (34:06):
Sprint on Netflix?

Speaker 2 (34:07):
Excellent?

Speaker 5 (34:07):
It's amazing.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
All right, thank you, and why you're here? I might
as well do your three things? Oh okay, three things
we need to know? Gandhi, what's going on?

Speaker 1 (34:14):
All right?

Speaker 9 (34:14):
The lights are still coming back on, but slowly in
the Houston area after Hurricane Barrel made landfall in July eighth.
The number of residents still without power has shrunk, but
it's in the thousands. As of last check, at least
six thousand customers. We're still waiting for service to be
restored again. That hurricane happened on July eighth. Centerpoint Energy
says it expects all customers should have power back by today.

(34:38):
Speaking of outages, major airlines, media organizations, businesses, police forces
all around the world currently being affected by a massive
IT glitch apparently was caused by a problem with Microsoft
cloud computing services early this morning. Flights are being grounded
all over the place. The FA actually says that Delta,
United and American Airlines have temporarily grounded all flights regardless

(34:59):
of their destinations. You'll make sure you're checking because this
is going to change as the morning goes, but it's
going to cause problems and lace.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
You know, this happens with us all the time, and
it happened because of a software update. Yes, our software
software updates almost every day here, and that's when all
hell just breaks loose. And it's it's not only with Microsoft,
it's also CrowdStrike as well. These online security company, so banks,
TV networks, through and airlines are all affected today in

(35:26):
a wild way.

Speaker 9 (35:27):
And we know Danielle's lying and she said she hasn't
gotten an update about whether the flight's taking off, but
they might not.

Speaker 6 (35:31):
Be able to be setting out the times.

Speaker 8 (35:33):
But just think it about that.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
You'll get there. You'll get there.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (35:36):
And finally, a new study released on World Emoji Day
reveals the ten emojis most at risk of extinction and
I think that they're very popular emojis.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
Well, don't get rid of the egg plant that is
not on the list.

Speaker 9 (35:48):
Okay, the flushed face that looks like very shocked to
the shock dies. They say that one could be out
in the way out the hands that look like they're
kind of tossing up the U from Miami. They those
might be on the way out and the A okay
hand also, if you're playing that game, the A whole game,
it looks like that. Yeah, those ones they say are
at risk of just going away.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
So but to say they have no emojis coming in,
including the dad the dad bod. What do we need
a dad bod emoji?

Speaker 8 (36:15):
No, it's okay, I don't like that.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
I'll take it, Daniel blahah thank you dad bod?

Speaker 13 (36:22):
Right?

Speaker 5 (36:23):
In which context do you use that? I also trying
to insult someone?

Speaker 8 (36:26):
You look so sexy dad bod?

Speaker 3 (36:28):
Right?

Speaker 2 (36:29):
Are those the three things?

Speaker 6 (36:30):
Those are your three things?

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Shawn here? All right, I'm fasting today. I can't eat.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
Have you been to Snug Harbor? No, All guys have
to go there. It's unreal. Oh yes, and it's a
perfect spot for the Soul Food Festival. Now talk about that.
So this is your You woke up in a cold
sweat when I going, oh my god, I gotta have
a soul food you are absolutely right.

Speaker 20 (38:29):
And when I say that it's like soul food, I'm
saying it like, it's not about food. It is about
the labor of love. It is about people coming together
and sharing their passion, their creativity, and their ideas with
each other. And so that's the food that we're like
really like fueling ourselves with. Is like, oh my god,
you started a candle business, you know, like, or you

(38:52):
started a T shirt business, or you wrote a book,
or you know, you do financial literacy, Like these are
the things that I want people to come together and
do in this space.

Speaker 17 (38:59):
And I wanted to be good to your soul.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
Well, don't forget the food. The food gotta be there.

Speaker 20 (39:03):
So like macaroni and cheese and stuff, and you know,
sugar Daddy wings of course.

Soul rolls with the macaroni cheese and collar greens and
your chicken inside of it. And those are the things
that my table is gonna sell. But like we have,
we do have some really great people that already trust me.
So this is not a Ponzi scheme. I'm not snatching
the mussing away. Yeah, I'm not doing the fire Island

(39:32):
thing or anything. You know, this is something that is
really happening because I need us to like pull ourselves
out of whatever this thing was that we were in
during the pandemic. So like just telling ourselves, you know,
this is not a great depression. We are not suffering.
You know, we are not stressed, we are not beat up,
we are not you know, having a bad time. We
can actually like put our minds together, work together and

(39:57):
maybe like barter ourselves out of a situation.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
So I went, how you're doing this? Yeah you see that. Yeah, No,
I love how you're doing this. And this is so
you by the way, I mean, this is this is
as they would say, this is Shawnee on a cracker, right, here,
here's here's what's going on. Tickets rowdy on sale by
the way, Yes they are, and people are still signing
up to vendors and other restaurants and it's going to
be a major, major thing.

Speaker 20 (40:19):
Yes, I want everybody to come out, sign up and
be a part of this. It's an opportunity for people
to network, like to have a conversation. A lot of
times people are saying, oh, no, you're gatekeeping information, you know,
and I don't know how to do it. And honestly,
I was in that seat when I was a new entrepreneur.
I didn't know what organizations were assisting businesses. I didn't

(40:40):
know who to go to. I didn't know how to
build or you know, figure things out. So my business
plan was just my reckless way of starting my business,
you know, like going into a restaurant or starting to
cook food and just selling it and saying this thing
has to just work.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
But let's talk about this. Yes, I don't mean to
interrupt you, No, go ahead, but no, I shouldn't. I
good Shawnee's house. Let's reel it back to that so
people have it more of a foundation of who you
are and what's what it's about well. I got a
call for our friend Matt to tone one night. He said,
you got to come to this place. He said, Elvis,
you're born in the South. You haven't had great soul

(41:16):
food since you were a kid, and I haven't. I said,
oh yeah, okay, let me see what this shawn Who
is this Shawna?

Speaker 1 (41:25):
So we went in.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
I felt like I was in my best friend's living room.
And the food started coming out. And then Shawnee came
over and she looked. She just looked at me. She said,
who are you. I'm Elvis Durant whatever. She said, there's
something about you and we you. You're sparked. I mean,
sparks started flying out of my nipples and stuff. We

(41:47):
started eating food and since then Shawnee's house, I mean,
it has been written up as one of the top
restaurants in New York City. You better go ahead, seriously, yes,
and it's it's it's and it's getting a lot of buzz,
a lot of talk talk. And now now I don't
even know how you find time to sleep. You're always
just thinking of new things and coming up with soul
food festivals. That's the beauty of being an entrepreneur. Is

(42:10):
that you lose sleep, but you're losing sleep for the
purpose of a legacy, right, So like I'm building this legacy,
and so yes, it requires time, and I you know,
I have to like constantly be thinking about things to do.
But like like you said, had I not done it,
had I not jumped off the cliff to start this business,
I wouldn't be the only restaurant on Staten Island in

(42:32):
its history to receive two stars in the New York
Times by Peter Wells, who I have to just really
say thank you for because after twelve twelve years of service,
he's announced he's coming off the table. He's not doing
that while some one of the last great things he did,
yes the time put me on yeh, Shawna is on

(42:52):
the map. Now I can leave.

Speaker 11 (42:53):
Yeah, you want to expand, like I know, I know
you said you did. Okay, so now you do because
last time you were here, you weren't sure about getting
a bigger play, right you know.

Speaker 20 (43:01):
I don't want to expand what I have there because
I think that that's kind of like operating as my flagship.
I think that that's the place where people are going
to want to go. And when I do decide to
open up another space. It is going to be another
extension of Shawnee's house. So it may be a den,
or it may be a living room, or it may
be a deck or maybe you know, like something that's

(43:22):
cool and cute. And it's still a part of me
and it's still a part of my lifestyle and the
things that I do, but it gives me an opportunity
to kind of like be creative with the space.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
People listening right now, going God, this is what I
want to do. You can do it now. There's a
Shawnee and Philly listening to us right now. There's a
Shawnee in Miami listening to us right now, and they're like, yeah,
I get this concept of the Soul Food Festival, which
goes outside the boundaries of food and to all sorts
of other things, finding vendors to be a part of this.
We have to get into that because there's people that

(43:52):
want to be a part of this. Yes, Gandhi.

Speaker 5 (43:53):
So it's like a soul and food festival.

Speaker 20 (43:55):
It's a soul and food festival. So now you know,
I utilize the word soul as an acronym. So it's
before I was like having this epiphany that soul meant
the spirit of unconditional love. And then God said, no,
you can't do that because you're not the spirit of
unconditional love, but you are a servant of unconditional love.
And so this is about me serving my community in

(44:17):
order for me to build up this global you know,
movement of us being creative and growing and really like
doing fascinating things that make us happy, you know, like
we cannot walk around not being happy anymore. So we
have to do the things that make us happy. And
it doesn't have anything to do with money, because that's
not where Seawanaye's house is at. So I got two

(44:39):
stars April first, that was no joke. And then on
that same week I was top fifty. I was in
the top one hundred at number fifty. And I only
have six tables. I'm only opened three days and I'm
only open for five hours per day. Wow, And I
have in the last eighty days served someone from every continent,

(45:03):
all fifty states and multiple islands. That so a global
business coming out of that little tiny space means anybody
can do this.

Speaker 2 (45:13):
This is what I'm loving about this conversation because there's
so many people out there. There are so many Shawnees
out there.

Speaker 20 (45:18):
There are you guys got to wake up. You'll got
to get up kind of early though, and you got
to be chipper and happy and excited at.

Speaker 2 (45:24):
Even if you're not maybe almost die. You have to
almost die, right.

Speaker 20 (45:27):
And I did do that, So, like, you know, we
have to really want to put ourselves out there, you know,
like I'm I'm just me and so me doing what
I do. I'm doing what I am supposed to do,
what I can do. I'm not doing anything outside of
what I can't do. And this festival is something that
I believe I can do successfully because I have the

(45:51):
I have a gift to communicate, network, reach, encounter and
engage with people.

Speaker 2 (45:56):
Let's do it. Let's get some people signed up. Can
we sign up?

Speaker 13 (45:59):
Please?

Speaker 2 (46:00):
You need Okay, we need to sell tickets and we
need to get vendors. All right, So is everything everyone

are you needing right now?

Speaker 1 (46:30):
Right now?

Speaker 20 (46:31):
We have some food vendors, We have candle vendors. We
have is it mostly food? We have We have some
people that are being like super creative, like uh, what's there, Nadia?
Huh doll vendors, like people that are coming out and
doing like passionate things. But I would like to see
people in fashion. I would like to see some people

(46:51):
who wrote some books come out there and sign and
create your own space to do it book signing right there.
We want to see baked goods. We do have a
few right now. I also want like to see, you know,
like things like sneak or pop ups. You know, people
are going around, they're doing their hustling, and I don't
want you to hustle. I want you to come out
and I want you to hustle in that space. So,

(47:13):
like everybody that's selling something, as long as it's not drugs,
then I want you to come out and just hang
out and have a good time.

Speaker 8 (47:22):
Okay, a jewelry would be a good idea.

Speaker 20 (47:26):
Jewelry we definitely want and we have some people that
are going to be selling jewelry, and we have some
also other people that are like doing like the paparazzi
type of jewelry, like you know, like pamper Chef type
of thing, like you know, that are in those things,
those sort of situations or spaces. But we want people
from all over to do things out there, and so
we have some informational booths as well. So if anybody

All right now, Cody wants to play a phone tap
on her friends Steven and Henry. Now the couple they
own a schnauzer and they take take the schnauzer to daycare.
From time to time when they're busy, and they prepay
for this daycare, so they drop the dog off, do
their stuff, and the dog, you know, has a has
a nice day.

Speaker 2 (49:24):
Schnauzer's a great doll exactly.

Speaker 19 (49:27):
So I'm going to call from the daycare, the doggy daycare,
and say, hey, you cannot bring your dog anymore?

Speaker 2 (49:32):
Oh little problem. Yes, let's listen to Garrett's phone tap.

Speaker 16 (49:35):
Hello.

Speaker 2 (49:36):
Hi, I'm looking for Steven, Big Boys owner.

Speaker 18 (49:40):
Hi.

Speaker 12 (49:41):
Actually, we were just about to call you because I
was wondering if you could bring Big Boy in at
seven am tomorrow morning.

Speaker 19 (49:46):
That's why I was calling. This actually pertains to Big Boy.
We've been through our entire list of pups. Apparently yours
is the only one that doesn't have any documentation of
whether it was neutered or not. And we do have
an outbreak of pregnant dogs. What yeah, and it's concerning
to a few owners outbreak.

Speaker 2 (50:08):
Four or five different owners have come to us and
said that their dogs are pregnant.

Speaker 10 (50:12):
What are you? What is this? It's ridiculous.

Speaker 12 (50:16):
He's absolutely been neutered.

Speaker 10 (50:18):
I know that he has.

Speaker 12 (50:18):
Okay, I mean it's like I can find the paperwork
to prove it.

Speaker 19 (50:21):
Well, once you find that paperwork, which I'm pretty sure
you don't have, then he can come back.

Speaker 2 (50:29):
Big boy.

Speaker 10 (50:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (50:31):
Well they.

Speaker 12 (50:33):
I'm on the phone with the dog Camel right now
and they're talking about how he hasn't been neutered.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
Evidently he's pregnated all these dogs.

Speaker 10 (50:42):
Right shouting that's impossible. Hold on, I've got him in
my hands right now. He's got no nuts.

Speaker 19 (50:49):
Again, I can't tell you, but all the other dogs
that have been here have their files show the fact
that they have been neutered.

Speaker 10 (50:56):
Ay to take a picture of his balls and send
him to you, because there's.

Speaker 2 (50:59):
None okay about that, I couldn't tell you.

Speaker 7 (51:04):
Right now. No, I have friends who can sue your
asps straight down the line that you and all the
other employees were living.

Speaker 19 (51:12):
Out of kenn No, sir, I see this a lot

people had caused this problem?

Speaker 10 (51:18):
A lot you people? You're talking about gay people.

Speaker 2 (51:20):
No, sir, I'm talking about schnauzer owners.

Speaker 10 (51:24):
Schnauzer owners, okay, and.

Speaker 19 (51:27):
Well you just seem to be a little bit careless
into just letting your dogs run free and impregnate other
dogs and.

Speaker 10 (51:32):
Hear what you're saying. I don't understand it really, but
I'm delivering my dog to you at seven no matter what.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
No, you're not, get ready, No you're not. Yes, I am, No,
you're not. I am, sir. We will not allow big
Boy in tomorrow morning. I said to.

Speaker 10 (51:48):
Crash through your doors at seven. It's happening. Get ready
or get sued off your ass. Okay, sir.

Speaker 2 (51:54):
If you show up tomorrow, police will be here, not
allowing your dog to come in.

Speaker 10 (51:58):

seven am, I will make sure that you and your
entire company are bankrupt and out of business forever. We'll

Live from the Mercedes Benz Interview Lounge.

Speaker 2 (01:04:20):
Joe Jonas is here. Today is the day, Friday, July nineteenth,
the release of work It Out. It's out today. What
a song.

Speaker 17 (01:04:29):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (01:04:30):
It feels good to sing a song to be with you, guys.
What's good to have you here, just like it's good
to have you here without those other two. Yes, I'm
glad the other guys are not here. Yeah, I know,
screw that. I heard you, so I'm going to play
work it Out in a minute. Of course, it's no
secret that at one point this song could have been

(01:04:50):
a song for all of you, or a song for
Dnce even and I heard that. Nick actually thought, oh,
this is our new song, and you're like, what was
that conversation like.

Speaker 17 (01:05:00):
So technically it was a different song. But the story
goes when we were working probably four or five months
ago for more Brothers music. I started working with this
guy Alexander twenty three, producer, musician Justin Tranner, who I
wrote Kick by the Ocean with, and another writer Bo
and we worked in a song called only Love, and
that song I just felt so close to and I

(01:05:23):
couldn't really find out. I couldn't figure out why. I
felt like it wasn't right for the Brothers and it
wasn't right for DNC, and I kind of selfishly was like,
I want to create something. I have a lot to say.
I don't feel comfortable with other people being the voice
of these songs. So I kind of had to sit down.
Nick was going to go do a movie with Paul Rudd,
Kevin got another season claiming fame, and then I was like, hey,

(01:05:43):
and I also been wanting to write some music. You
guys cool with that, and I want to take that
song you really liked. And Nick was like, well, damn,
I really like that song.

Speaker 10 (01:05:51):
But fine.

Speaker 17 (01:05:51):
So that started the kind of journey for me to
kind of create a new album. So there's no vicious
fight over a song. Oh there was a vicious I
mean it was a lot of blood. There's a reason
they're out here.

Speaker 2 (01:06:02):
But you know what, we go through these different chapters
in our lives where we have the challenges, we have
the great things, in the sad things, the scary things,
and at those times, I wish we all had songwriting capabilities.
I wish we could all sit down and do an album.
And obviously this album is a very personal thing. It
comes at an interesting time in your life. And I'm

(01:06:22):
just reading over some of the things you've said in
other interviews about how you wake up on to go Okay,
if I don't start controlling my life now, it's going
to be like craziness forever. And so you came to
this point in your life where this album is sort
of reflecting that in your life.

Speaker 17 (01:06:41):
Definitely, I mean, it's very therapeutic for me, and I
agree with you. I'm so grateful that I have music
as such like a tool to be able to use
as an output. I mean, obviously, I think therapy is
great and talking to somebody's great friends, family, but ultimately
as creators that we can put pen to paper and

(01:07:02):
feel like we can release it and sometimes share it
with the world, sometimes just keep it for yourself. And
it's like great, I needed to do that for myself
and for athletes is going to run. For myself, I'm
so happy that I have music. And you know, this
last year doing our tour, seventy plus songs each night
or sixty I think was sixty nine, so nice songs.

(01:07:23):
There was a lot of times where I was I
would go through the set list and I'm like, God,
I really don't want to play this one. But then
you perform it and see how it affects somebody in
the audience, and like, how lucky am I that I
get to do this for almost twenty some years. There
you go and I get to make people feel something,
whether if it's emotional or you realize, wow, that's their
song that got them through that difficult time. So I
wanted to create something that I was like, if this
helps somebody else through what they're going through, great and

(01:07:44):
work it out. Is essentially that it's the idea of
a conversation you can have with yourself in the mirror
where you're like, look, no one's going to come save
you from what you're going through. You got to shake
it off yourself and figure this out. And then it's
kind of explaining it to other people and saying all right,
I've gone through it, maybe can help you along the way,
and in like a pop rock fun way that you
don't really realize what you're listening to.

Speaker 5 (01:08:06):
There are heavy lyrics, so like poppy music.

Speaker 17 (01:08:09):
I mean, some of my favorite songs of all time
are are really heavy lyrics with happy music, and until
you dissect them, you don't really understand that.

Speaker 2 (01:08:16):
Sometimes you write a song or an artist, an artist
will write a song and it really is I got
to get this out of my system, and it really
is just kind of lashing out of the whole world
about how I hate people. I just I just need
to And they performed these songs at their concerts thinking
I just crapped all over our audience emotionally, just once again,
and I'm getting away with it and they're clapping.

Speaker 11 (01:08:35):
But have you ever written one and you're like, yeah,
this one I'm not going to release, and like I'm
just gonna keep this one under my pillow from me.

Speaker 17 (01:08:41):
Yes, you know, that's funny you say that there was
a song I was thinking about recently, and I played
for some of the record labels that are in the hallway,
and this is years ago, and I was going through
something and I wrote this song just like I was like, ah,
I was really angry about a situation and I was like,
what do you guys think? And they're like, well, it's cool.
I don't know if you'll want to have this released
and like or have to be thinking about this in

(01:09:02):
a year, and I was like, you know, you're right.

Speaker 10 (01:09:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (01:09:05):
I'm like, I don't want to create an enemy out
of something that you know, at the end of the day,
it was for me and that's what I have. And
I'm like, I'm happy I created it, but I don't
feel like sometimes it's necessary for.

Speaker 2 (01:09:14):
It all to be out there. Maybe next album, right,
next album. Joe Jonas here has his music to you know,
as his therapy and in his cathartic moments. What do
we have? I've got nothing. You've got Gandhi has her artwork. Yes,
that's great, people with it. What do you have this?

Speaker 8 (01:09:31):
I feel like when I'm pissed off, I put music
on it and.

Speaker 1 (01:09:33):
Just like dance to it.

Speaker 2 (01:09:35):
But what do you Okay? So that's how you get
it there?

Speaker 10 (01:09:38):
I know you.

Speaker 2 (01:09:38):
This is why I'm fed up, man.

Speaker 17 (01:09:40):
I need something other than eating, you know, and for
a walk with your dogs alone. That alone probably about reading.

Speaker 2 (01:09:46):
I like to read born drinking. It's all good.

Speaker 17 (01:09:50):
Otherwise a therapy, a little hooker.

Speaker 2 (01:09:52):
Hookers and blow It's okay, I'm all good.

Speaker 17 (01:09:55):
Now that's the name of your hit song.

Speaker 2 (01:09:57):
I should show more gratitude for these things anyway. So
you've been out on the road and continue to be
on the road with your.

Speaker 17 (01:10:04):
Brother pretty much doing shows on the weekends. But after
what we just did, it feels like a walk in
the park. To be honest. We'd played the Calgary Stampede
last weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:10:14):
It was just wild. Well, didn't your debut work it
out at that show?

Speaker 17 (01:10:18):
I did, yeah, which is funny because on paper, you're like,
this is gonna be sick. You get to the stage
and the stage is like pretty barren, so you're like,
all right, which I found myself wanting to jump in
the audience. But luckily, the crowd is all drinking all
day because it's a Stampede and they're all in cowboy
hats and cowboy boots and they're having a blast. So
I was like, this is the perfect audience for a
performance like this. And it's always a little nerve wrecking

(01:10:41):
playing something new, you know, I feel like there's that
moment where you're on stage and you realize I really
hope you get the idea. You're like, this is great,
I really want to performance. You get up there and
they don't know this. They happen to know more lyrics
and I expected from just like even TikTok. You know,
you you sample some of the song and they learn it,
which is kind of crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:11:00):
This was a rodeo.

Speaker 17 (01:11:01):
It's a technically a stampede, not a rodeo. I don't
know the difference, but there's a difference. So there's like
one hundred thousand people that show up for this. Most
of Canada goes and it's like a week long thing,
a lot of different performers. We had a lot of
chicken wings and beer.

Speaker 2 (01:11:16):
It's great. So the album Music for People who Believe
in Love is coming out when October nineteenth. Okay, right,
And so going back to something you said earlier about
the song that will never be released and your guys said, hey,
in a year from now, I've got a couple of those. Yes. Okay.
There's the whole point when someone writes an album and
produces an album that's really about your life, where it

(01:11:36):
was at that moment in time, and when it's all
released and said and done, you're a new person. Maybe
you've moved on.

Speaker 17 (01:11:43):
It's a really good point.

Speaker 2 (01:11:44):
This one came about pretty fast, though it.

Speaker 17 (01:11:46):
Did come pretty fast. I mean I think I feel
like it's interesting you say that, I feel like part
of this body of work I was listening back to.
I played it short a friend yesterday, the guy that
we created What am I Gotta do? Actually the Brothers.
I was doing a song with him yesterday and I
played in the whole album and he was like, oh wow,
it's like really interesting because I feel like genre wise,

(01:12:07):
it's kind of like all over the place, but it's cohesive.
And I was like, that's perfect. This exactly what I want.
I feel like in the place of my life, I
wasn't sure like who I was. I was quite like
on a journey. At one point, I was like, maybe
I'll just go live in the desert. Maybe I'll just
I don't know. I went on a road trip and
I was just finding myself listening to a lot of
like country Western music, and so there's a lot of
different kind of types of music that you're gonna hear
on the body of work, and I feel like it's

(01:12:28):
important for I guess listeners of any artists you go
like this is where they were at. They might be
now six months removed, two years removed from when they
release it, but you almost are able to put on
your thinking cap and put them into that the hot
seat of like this is where I was emotionally personally.
It was confusing, and I was trying to figure out
who I am and kind of getting to know myself again.

(01:12:49):
And here I am. So it's it's exciting and also
I think probably my favorite thing. And this is more
features on this project than I think any for any
Brothers or solo stuff we've done. I think there's about
seven or eight features on this album, which is wild.
I reached out to a lot of friends and just said, hey, like,
I'm a fan and I would love to send you

(01:13:09):
a song if you're interested. So I can't wait for
people to see and hear who's on this.

Speaker 2 (01:13:14):
We're gonna hold hold that information back until the release
of the album.

Speaker 17 (01:13:17):
I get introll every time I do an interview because
I say something too early, but I don't mind. I
think I think it's exciting. I mean, there's there's some
that have been already kind of rumored because you how easy.

Speaker 2 (01:13:28):
It is was rumored?

Speaker 17 (01:13:30):
Who was rumored? See, I just want to say, the
biggest artist in the world to people get the album Beyoncet.

Speaker 13 (01:13:39):
I think the.

Speaker 17 (01:13:42):
There's a Brazilian artist, Louisa songs. I'm a big fandom. Okay,
you may or may not hear on this album. Okay,
that's funny.

Speaker 1 (01:13:48):
If we don't, I.

Speaker 2 (01:13:49):
Can keep see. I could do this all day. You
can play this stupid game all day.

Speaker 17 (01:13:52):
Start saying like comedians, magicians, Carrot Talk performs, Gordon ramsay
gat it's awesome.

Speaker 8 (01:14:00):
Is it hard to let go of a song?

Speaker 11 (01:14:01):
Like once you record it and it's done and you
do the collab or you do whatever, and then you've
listened back and you're like, yeah, I think it's ready,
it's ready for release.

Speaker 17 (01:14:08):
It's a great question.

Speaker 2 (01:14:10):
We say this a lot.

Speaker 17 (01:14:12):
People have been like, you've made this in like two weeks,
and I was like, well, I had the studio for
two weeks, but probably similar to a film or TV show,
you edit until the last second. Yeah, And I found
that I'm happy to kind of walk away. I mean,
I feel like I don't want to overthink it too.
I can like release it and feel comfortable now. The

(01:14:32):
producers might say something differently, but I feel like, once
it's ready, it's ready.

Speaker 5 (01:14:36):
So I know you said that it is definitely therapy
for you, yea.

Speaker 9 (01:14:39):
Is it therapy performing it a year down the road
or is it more like trauma lived again?

Speaker 17 (01:14:45):
It's a great question as well. I had a conversation
with an amazing artist recently. I won't say names because
I don't want to put them on blest, but it's
a great story. They were mentioning a song that they
kind of at some point in their career. They felt
it was difficult to perform, just like I don't feel
attached to the song anymore. I perform it every night.
It's everyone's favorite song. But I feel like I've grown
as an artist, which arguably most people do, and especially

(01:15:09):
for me my brothers, we play songs that we wrote
when we were like fifteen years old, and we're saying
things in the song that we're like, oh, like we're
talking about We're talking about like things that don't even
really exist anymore, like AOL chat, Like there's things on
in jones of the songs that are just you know,
you age out of and I think, what we what

(01:15:30):
we've grown, what I've grown to learn from that experience.
This artist, one of their favorite artists, looked at them
and said, oh, this song is not yours anymore. You
have to you have to realize that that's theirs, and
they deserve the audience deserves to have it in their
favorite fashion, because a lot of times I've gotten up
there and changed songs to sound a little bit like

(01:15:53):
with the times of the sound that's out there. It
could be like updated, or I'll do an electric electro
version of the song. And then you find you like
the audience is sitting there and I've gone to concerts
where I'm like, just play this the song. I want
to hear my song. And so if you're able to
kind of remind yourself and take yourself out of that,
at least for me, that helped a lot, playing some
of these old Jonas songs that I kind of rolled
my eyes and went like, all right, here we go. Now,

(01:16:15):
I'm like, I appreciate it so much more because I
see it's like, you know what, that's their song, that's
not mine anymore, and I've got to give that song
respect for them.

Speaker 2 (01:16:22):
Of course, a song is called work it Out. It's
out today. We're going to play it for you in
just a few seconds. How was grease?

Speaker 17 (01:16:28):
Oh my god, so is my first time. That was amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:16:31):
It is an incredible place.

Speaker 17 (01:16:32):
So much fish man now, although Aquaman doesn't eat.

Speaker 8 (01:16:38):
Fish, that would not be right.

Speaker 17 (01:16:43):
And I'll eat enough fish to be coming up. That's
not I don't think I saw him.

Speaker 5 (01:16:46):
Eating fishing man.

Speaker 2 (01:16:48):
There you go. I loved it.

Speaker 17 (01:16:51):
It's so beautiful and so welcoming. We we stayed. I
stayed for like two weeks, and I had the best time.
There's a big hotel opening out there, and the Greek
people party so hard and it's so fun, I know.

Speaker 8 (01:17:06):
And they're also gorgeous out there.

Speaker 17 (01:17:07):
There are very pretty people.

Speaker 2 (01:17:09):
Yeah, yeah, I love like we were in Meekonosement several
years ago. And of course you wake up at noon,
you go to the beach, you get home and you eat,
and you get home, you take a disco and nap,
and then you go out for dinner. At eleven or twelve.

Speaker 17 (01:17:20):
I went to dinner. I was like, I couldn't hear
I couldn't hear anything. It was so loud the music
is so loud.

Speaker 2 (01:17:24):
It's awesome. It was great. It's literally like, did you
dance till the sun came up?

Speaker 17 (01:17:28):
Of course I did. I love it hair Flip.

Speaker 2 (01:17:32):
It's nice, but you needed to get away. We need
these getaways and even if you can't go to Greece,
you can do a weekend up the road with your
friends at their cabin or something. Just you gotta get away.
Do you find inspiration on a beach in grease eating fish?
Or is that your turn off? You don't want to
think about writing a song or where you're going.

Speaker 17 (01:17:49):
I agree with what you said. How it can be anywhere.
I mean, it can be down to the Jersey Shore
if that's for you. I honestly for me, as like
somebody that needs that loves to perform, loves to create,
I have to like go and find inspiration as well.
I feel like it's so important.

Speaker 2 (01:18:05):
And so the next album is about fish.

Speaker 17 (01:18:07):
Nice album's off fish.

Speaker 9 (01:18:09):
Yeah, boy, these are important things. Not going with You
said something earlier about looking out of the crowd. Was
it called Canada Stampede?

Speaker 17 (01:18:17):
It's called Calgary Stampede. Most of Canada was there.

Speaker 5 (01:18:21):
And looking at the crowd and thinking maybe I should CrowdSurf.

Speaker 6 (01:18:24):
Do you CrowdSurf?

Speaker 5 (01:18:26):
That seems terrifying.

Speaker 17 (01:18:26):
I've attempted it. Well, that's time. I think our audience
was a little young to when I was thinking about it,
I was like, I know, this is the smartest idea.
But DNC days, Yeah, there was plenty of jumping in
the audience and getting wild, and now it's kind of
fun to I feel like there was a time when
we were performing, like during fuck I guess COVID days,

(01:18:47):
and it felt like like, all right, you can't really
there's a reason you couldn't get in the audience. Now
I'm like, screw that. I want to be out there.
I want to be as close as I can. And
so it's always quite funny. I can always see my
security look at me and he's like he's like ready, yeah,
like go for a run. He's like, are we doing it?

Speaker 2 (01:19:02):
Are we doing it?

Speaker 17 (01:19:04):
But if there's an opportunity, I mean, I feel like
it's always so fun to get closer to the honest
as best as possible.

Speaker 2 (01:19:09):
Breathe on them, breathe on me. So your backstage is
about to go out there announcing you for your first song.
If it's the brothers versus DNCE versus solo. Are those
three different Joe Jonases that are about to jump out
on that stage or or there. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 17 (01:19:28):
Yeah, I understand what you're saying. I do feel like
there's maybe maybe not persona is not the right word,
but energy. Yeah, different energies. I mean yeah, Like I
think with DNC, it's like we we lay it all
out there, and it's like, it's always so funny. Every
time we look at a setlist, it'll be like Cake
by the Ocean and then like this really soft, beautiful song,

(01:19:49):
and I'm like, I am so out of breath, humble.
Usually I'm like like right after after out of breath.
But to your point, yeah, I feel like there is
different energies, and especially with this new album that I'm releasing,
like there's a lot of emotion attached to this, so
it will be a bit not somber. It's fun, there's
a lot of even the first singles, it's an energetic tune,

(01:20:09):
but there are there's a lot of heart to it.
So I do have to put on a different thinking
cap or it's like putting on a character, and I
enjoy that. I mean, grew up doing theater, and I
understand what it's like to go to concerts and you
want to feel not only entertained, but like, how can
you look at a body of work and say, Okay,
we want to present this in the best way possible.
So it's been a lot of fun ideas about how

(01:20:31):
to bring this to life and you know, take it
on a road. Maybe it would be fun.

Speaker 2 (01:20:36):
There we have it. We got to play the song.
Of course, give me the album release date again, October nineteenth.
That's music for people who believe in love. Yeah, but
today July nineteenth, Friday July nineteenth.

Speaker 17 (01:20:45):
Yes, they make it easy for me. I'm so bad
with dates that they just say nineteen to everything and
I'm good.

Speaker 2 (01:20:50):
Oh they're other saying that the date's wrong. See you
said it wait October eighteenth. Yeah boy, thank god you're here.

Speaker 8 (01:21:00):
Wow, it could have been late.

Speaker 17 (01:21:01):
There's still plenty of time changing it before the he's
Octuber eighteenth.

Speaker 2 (01:21:08):
But today, Friday, July nineteenth. We gave you the first cut.
Of course, Uh, work it out crazy. So are you
already writing your new album?

Speaker 17 (01:21:16):
It's pretty much done. No, Yeah, you got like thirteen songs.

Speaker 2 (01:21:20):
I no no, not this new album, the next album
follow up, yeah, yeah, the one after that, yes, actually,
I guess really working on more.

Speaker 17 (01:21:27):
And then I was in this writing for a brother's
album yesterday, So just like keep it going. I feel
like at this place, this point in our career with
the guy, it's so supportive and I'm so like I
was on the phone with Nick yesterday. It was really funny.
He's like, hey, I heard the podcast. Are you talking
about that. I'm like, oh, yeah, were you upset about
what I said? He's like, no, no, no, no, I
thought it was great. So I think it's so different

(01:21:48):
as adults were looking out for each other, but also
like we want to support. Like he's he's working on
stuff constantly. I'm working on stuff Nick Heavin is two,
and it's it's nice to just keep the train moving.
I mean, there's there's some really exciting stuff we're doing
for the brothers and this project for solo stuff. I
just I don't think it's at this place in the
music industry. You just keep going. You don't have to

(01:22:09):
like slow down or take big breaks. So if you're
inspired going studio.

Speaker 2 (01:22:12):
As they say, don't stop running because it'll catch up.
To you keep going nice.

Speaker 17 (01:22:16):
That's scary, but I like it.

Speaker 2 (01:22:17):
It is frightening. Thanks Elvis, Joe Jonas, this is working out.

world that you have a nickname for but they don't
know that you have a nickname for them? Like they
for sure. Yeah, we have a guy down the street,
red truck dude out yeah, yeah yeah, or the a
hole across the street.

Speaker 8 (01:22:59):
We got lawn mower Betty around the all hours of
the night out there with the damn lawn mower. I'm like,
are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (01:23:07):
Is their name Betty? Or did we just no?

Speaker 8 (01:23:09):
No, no, no, that's just a name I have.

Speaker 9 (01:23:11):
It's the building across from me that I can look
into and see people. I have green room guy because
he has green rooms. And then the other one a
soft robe guy because he always has a very soft
looking robe on.

Speaker 2 (01:23:22):
See if they only knew that we were watching them
and we had names for them, Yes, Nate, I found
out my dad was nicknamed binocular Man because he would
always be spying on the other neighbors with talking to
somebody down the streets like wait, wait, your dad's binocular guy?
Like whoa, my god, people don't oh my god. Yeah.

(01:23:42):
I remember our friend Dennis. He lived in West Hollywood
and his house looked into the row of the houses
behind him, and there was a guy. He was NonStop.
He was grinder Man. He was always grinding his oh stuff.
He was always watching porn and like taking care of himself.
Called him. This is before grindering came out. We just
called him grinder Man because he was. He was in

(01:24:04):
grind mother at all times. Yeah, scary.

Speaker 15 (01:24:06):
We had the birdman because he had a homing pigeon
coop on his roof and he would let them out
of the coop and he had a long stick with
a rag at the end of it, and he used
to go.

Speaker 16 (01:24:17):
And the pigeons would all come out fly in circle.

Speaker 1 (01:24:19):
In the sky.

Speaker 2 (01:24:20):
We love a birdman. Birdman's pretty cool. He comes from
another planet. People are texting in We have mannequin lady.
I wonder who she is. Garbage man. Who's garbage man
someone who goes to your garbage? Maybe maybe the cheater?

Speaker 22 (01:24:34):
Oh my god, remember uh, I think it was Scotty
B had the cheater in his neighborhood, didn't you and
the whole neighborhood, the whole neighborhood knew about the cheater
in your neighborhood.

Speaker 2 (01:24:45):
Yeah, they're done now. They've been around for a while.
I mean we should cheat, or maybe they finally hooked
up forever for life. Do you ever wonder what your
nickname is behind your back?

Speaker 8 (01:25:00):
Thanks, don't want to know. Anti social lady, I'm Radio.

Speaker 2 (01:25:07):
I don't think we have anyone. I don't think we
have anyone on our show that we have nicknames for
unless it to me, and I don't know, but.

Speaker 11 (01:25:14):
Hmmmm, I could come up with a couple like I
call Scary the Gobbler. I see gobbles of every food.
He's a gobbler.

Speaker 2 (01:25:26):
And of course, you know straight in eight, we call
him Granny because he acts like your grandma. Sometimes you've
changed to Gurdy last couple of weeks because you have
all right, moving on, Just keep in mind you may
be making fun of someone in your neighborhood that has
a nickname, but they could be making fun of you too.

Speaker 8 (01:25:44):
You call you big daddy a lot, Yeah, big daddy.

Speaker 2 (01:25:47):

Live from the Mercedes Benz Interview Lounge.

Speaker 2 (01:26:18):
Welcome to the show. M Night Shamalan and his daughter Sulika.
So good to have you here, having us well, thanks
for being had in two weeks. This film, they're saying,
this is the film of the season, Trap that's coming out.
Are you a little nervous right before a film comes out?

Speaker 3 (01:26:35):
I do get that way. I don't like that part
of it, of the anxiety, because I've finished the movie
and so you know, in that stoic thing you should
let go. I don't have control over this part of it,
and then I'm still holding it tight. This is a
movie sixteen, you know, so it's like thirty years and
sixteen movies that should stop already.

Speaker 11 (01:26:52):
Yeah, but each want your baby, so it's like your
baby's about to go out into the world.

Speaker 8 (01:26:56):
And you want everyone to like your baby.

Speaker 2 (01:26:58):
You know, sometimes I have.

Speaker 3 (01:26:59):
Any control over that.

Speaker 2 (01:27:01):
Yeah, sometimes they don't like your baby. But this is
very interesting parallel that's going on. Of course, your daughter
Selika is here, and of course she is featured in
the film, and we're gonna get it into that moment. Well,
so it's like having a daughter, you know. I mean,
you got to let her go one day and let
her fly.

Speaker 3 (01:27:18):
I'm equally bad at that.

Speaker 2 (01:27:19):
Yeah, is you're not doing well? I mean have you
still Do you still live at home?

Speaker 6 (01:27:23):
Or are you there half the time?

Speaker 23 (01:27:25):
Pretty much?

Speaker 2 (01:27:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 23 (01:27:26):
He built studio in the house, so I work there.

Speaker 2 (01:27:29):
There you go. It's this is another premise for a film,
the dad who just can't let go. It's called being Indian.

Speaker 5 (01:27:38):
That was the first thing I thought. I was very
Indian of you.

Speaker 2 (01:27:41):
Okay, explain that, Kandi.

Speaker 5 (01:27:43):
Any people love to stay with their family.

Speaker 6 (01:27:44):
Until we die.

Speaker 9 (01:27:45):
There's nothing wrong with I'm married and then you have
permission to leave. But like, I don't live with the family,
and it's so stressful.

Speaker 5 (01:27:51):
How did you not be there?

Speaker 18 (01:27:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (01:27:52):
I love it.

Speaker 6 (01:27:53):
I'm glad you.

Speaker 3 (01:27:53):
It's a different yeah, different concept of nuclear family. And
you know, as it puts like, A'm eighteen, Let's go
to the University of Miami. That's a different mentality than Hey,
you know, go to the closest college you can and
you know, come back and see us and have food
and you know.

Speaker 2 (01:28:09):
Wash your dryer exactly the refrigerator. We'll let you eat
our food.

Speaker 3 (01:28:13):
There's definitely a lot of you know, Asian guilt that's
in votes. And so when we dropped her at college,
I was that was literally the worst moment in my
life up to that point.

Speaker 2 (01:28:20):
Oh, you broke your heart.

Speaker 3 (01:28:22):
Literally just sat in the car and wept.

Speaker 8 (01:28:24):
But how far did she go from She went to Brown?

Speaker 3 (01:28:27):
She went to So it's about six.

Speaker 8 (01:28:28):
Hours my son goes to in England to school. So
how is that I know that's not allowed that.

Speaker 2 (01:28:35):
We should go back to the moment and cry just
for a moment. Please, all right, let's talk about the film. Okay,
trap like it's in theaters only theaters only now the
trailers And I'm not going to say what I think
this is about, because I don't want to screw anything up.
But Josh Hartnett, Yeah, Josh Hartnett could be play a creepy,
creepy character, but this character. He's playing as a dad

(01:28:57):
taking his daughter to see Lee Raven. Is your character, right,
what a cool dad? It's like all the dad. You
see the Tater Swift concert.

Speaker 13 (01:29:05):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:29:07):
There's something going on there and I can't put my
finger on it. I don't want to start guessing. I
don't want to screw anything up. Am I kind of right?

Speaker 3 (01:29:13):
You haven't said anything. Okay, good, but yes, you're right.
You know the culture of being in going to concerts.
Sometimes you write something and the culture moves away from you,
or it moves towards you. And since we thought of
the idea, the culture moved towards us. With Taylor Swift
and Beyonce and you know everything, even Kendrick, everything you

(01:29:34):
can imagine, the culture has moved towards this thing of
going as a group to go see an artist is
the thing that everyone is talking about, and especially with
Taylor and the whole families, and you see the girl
Dad's going. And obviously everything I write is based on
kind of my relationship to the girls, our family in
some way.

Speaker 2 (01:29:50):
But you're not creepy like Josh hartnet Well, Josh is
not creepy either.

Speaker 23 (01:29:56):
In fact, a fact, John he's the sweetest guy, sweetest person.

Speaker 3 (01:30:00):
He came we were shooting in Ireland and he came
from he lives in London, said hey, can I come
and see you. We were thinking about who to cast
in the role, and we talked about being dads of
three girls. Just I was like, this is the guy,
this is the guy. You know, it's not about just
the actor or the actress. It's where they are in
their lives and so it's a combination of their skill

(01:30:20):
set but where they are emotionally. And josh Is just
was dead on. I was like, I was seeing the superstar.
I was seeing somebody that you would fall in love with,
which is what I what I need for the movie.

Speaker 2 (01:30:32):
Well, obviously his character has a lot going on. How
much can we say? I mean, I don't want to
get any away, but I think I think he's he's
up to no good in this film. It's very possible.

Speaker 5 (01:30:43):
Well, if we saw it in the trailer, can we say, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:30:45):
Yeah, it's he's looked several looks on his face. It
leaves me.

Speaker 5 (01:30:51):
He's a bad guy.

Speaker 3 (01:30:52):
Yeah, you know, it was something that that was stuck
in my head. Well, first of all, Sleek and I
was taught. We're talking a lot about music, and I
was like, gosh, we should we should do something like
Purple Rain, you know, where you write something an album
for a narrative purpose.

Speaker 2 (01:31:11):
So, Salika, what was it like? Well, first of all,
to talk about your character. Your character, Lady Raven of
course is featured as the big performer at this coliseum
that sold out, Slika, how many times did your dad
call upon you for ideas? Did he? Did he fold
you into the into the creative process for your character
or for anything else with Trap?

Speaker 14 (01:31:30):
Well, for music wise, I wrote all of the music,
courduced all of it. So I think that was obviously
a big element of the character itself. And I think
the idea for the movie we was just something we
were kind of ideating on for a while, and how
to bring music and film together. You know, it's obviously
an Indian culture. That's a very big thing Bollywood movies.
You know, music and film are kind of equals and
that and so something that feels very natural when we

(01:31:51):
want to do it in our own kind of Shyamalan way.
But yeah, I think the original ideas we kind of
brainstorm together and then he wrote the most credible.

Speaker 2 (01:32:01):
Now I'm gonna ask the question. Don't get don't get
upset because asking a father a question like this about
his daughter. Yeah, does someone chop your daughter up in
this film? He's a fair question. I can't say, do
you get chopped up in this film? Does your dad
have you mutilated? Don't care?

Speaker 3 (01:32:17):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:32:18):
I mean, look, we're talking about not reality. This is
a film, Okay.

Speaker 11 (01:32:22):
Ever know any point when she wanted to do this
for a living, did you say run the other direction?

Speaker 3 (01:32:28):
Did you try to, like, well, we know in our house,
I kind of we are is sacred. This is not
This is not a transactional thing. This is not an
opportunistic thing. In fact, it's the tears have commonly opposite
way where I'm where, I'm like, we don't need another
person going into the arts to prove that they have
value or to get validation or become famous or make money.

(01:32:50):
If those are your motivations, please don't do it. This
is not what we want in the world because you
are just stealing everyone's agency. You only do it to give,
and if you have something that you want to give
your point of view, then then let's do it. It's
a beautiful thing to be an artist to speak. So
I'm really tough on them. And then and then we
have all the Asian work ethic stuff, and I'm like,

(01:33:12):
you're just not working hard enough. So you know, you
know what the Asian f is, the Asian and yeah, wow,
it's terrible.

Speaker 9 (01:33:18):
You guys are like the one one percent of Indian
parents who are not disappointed in their children for not
being a doctor.

Speaker 13 (01:33:24):
I love.

Speaker 2 (01:33:26):
I know, she's the academic in your family, man in
your in your family? How many doctors? How many attorneys?
And then a radio person. Yeah, and so they looked.

Speaker 9 (01:33:36):
At you like, what the hell are you still ask
me all the time when I'm going to get a
real job. This is the real job.

Speaker 5 (01:33:40):
I'm telling you to do it. I love to see
this though.

Speaker 3 (01:33:44):
Yeah, I don't think my parents even I don't think
they really got it until I was on the cover
of magazines and then they bought every magazine.

Speaker 10 (01:33:55):
I know. But but we do.

Speaker 3 (01:33:57):
I do talk about the Asian this unusual marriage between
the arts and our family and the upbringing of being Asian.
In fact, you know, you could talk about that, you
know when I'm like, hey, stop being so Asian on
stage yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:34:08):
I mean for me, it's been a process because I
came from classical piano, which is, you know, very disciplined
and you know, you don't make mistakes and kind of
don't put your own personality into it in a way,
and so kind of coming to writing my own music,
it was a challenge for me to come out of
like trying to do everything perfect. And so now my
challenge is to just be free and kind of learn
how to perform and all that. And so now he's

(01:34:29):
helping me kind of get out of my shell. But
you know, growing up, it's all you know, you want
to get the straight a's, and you want to be
perfect on the SATs, and you want to get the
classical piano piece perfect at the recital, and you know,
if we didn't, it's like tears and you feel like
you failed. So that mentality is definitely deeply ingrained.

Speaker 9 (01:34:46):
And most of the time your Indian parents will tell you, oh,
yeah failed if you were wondering person.

Speaker 23 (01:34:50):
And I think I came home with like a B
plus at my first semester at Brown and they.

Speaker 2 (01:34:53):
Were like, what happened?

Speaker 1 (01:34:55):
What is this letter?

Speaker 23 (01:34:56):
And I was like, I don't know, it's Brown I'm
more hard.

Speaker 2 (01:35:00):
I didn't.

Speaker 3 (01:35:00):
I didn't remember that. That's terrible.

Speaker 2 (01:35:03):
Can we work Let's work through this right now.

Speaker 14 (01:35:08):
Well, I'd gone straight a's on my high school and
then it was like first semester of college and I
took like a senior course and I was trying to
do something and I think I got like a B
plus and they were like, there's a bee.

Speaker 13 (01:35:18):
What is this?

Speaker 2 (01:35:18):
Okay, let's all stop being so Asian, more open. Let's
get back to Trap please, all right, So again two
weeks from today, it's in theaters only. And you, of
course are known night for these films that have these
crazy twists, these twists and these turns. But there's something

(01:35:38):
else I've noticed about your films. And even in the
trailer on Trap, there's just something you do with these shots,
these these angles. You know that something's about to happen.
I don't know. I got tension built up in my
neck just by the way you handle how the camera

(01:36:00):
relates with the actor. You can see it coming, and
it's like hairt stands on the back of your like
and I've noticed that. I've noticed it all the way
back to uh I see dead people. I mean all
the way back to that film which I was introduced
to you, of course, Sixth Sense was actually it's still
one of my top five favorite films of all time

(01:36:21):
that how do you use something like a lens to
build tension?

Speaker 3 (01:36:24):
Well, first of all, thank you for that in articulating
that it is. It is the primary thing of the
cinema that's important to me. The process you're talking about
is the cinematic integrity of each shot. And there's two philosophies.
There's kind of like that I don't want to get
We could go on and on and about this, but
like a hunters and gatherers philosophy in my mind, you know,

(01:36:46):
And the gatherers philosophy is, hey, I'm going to shoot
all of you in different things and anything it comes back,
oh great, I'll shoot that, I'll shoot this, and then
we gather it and then we put together a kind
of a meal afterwards based on the best of the
things we've gathered. But there's the hunters, and those are
the much much rarer because it's highly dangerous, which is
I'm not shooting you. I'm not shooting you. I'm gonna
do your shot like this, and it's gonna move over

(01:37:07):
to her line over here, because that's when you get
distracted by her, and then then it's gonna move over here.
And that's all we're doing. And we're gonna do twelve
takes of that. That's all we're gonna do. That's a
Hunter mentality. It's high risk, but I feel more in
that that way for me as a viewer in every frame.
And so you know, I'm going up against you know,

(01:37:27):
Deadpool and and Inside Out, you know seven and all
these movies, and all I got is this, That's all
I have.

Speaker 2 (01:37:36):
And there's one shot in the trailer of Josh Hartnett's face.
You could see he's very tense. His face is stone,
it's stone extreme clothes, and then out of nowhere, his
lip has one little nervous twitch. Yeah, And I was like,
and when his little lip twitch you saw the trailer, right,

(01:37:57):
I was like, Holy yeah, something's going on here. It
was definitely a hair raising moment. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:38:02):
Again, he's so incapable of inauthenticity. So that's at a
particular moment where he feels he has no moves left
and he's going to be caught. And in the intensity
of this thriller happening in a pop concert, is that
it's becoming like too much. What was funny is now becoming,
you know, a funhouse mirror aberration. And so he's feeling

(01:38:23):
all this in that moment, and all we talk about
is where you are and you're out of moves.

Speaker 2 (01:38:30):
Brilliant. So obviously he's done some bad stuff, clearly.

Speaker 9 (01:38:35):
So when you are working with your dad on something
like this, obviously he's made sixteen movies and you're now
starting to venture into this. I know you're an actor
and you're a professional, but are there any times that
you're like, Dad, I do not like that angle.

Speaker 1 (01:38:48):
Take it out.

Speaker 23 (01:38:49):
Oh that's not an option conversation. I don't even know
what's going on over there.

Speaker 5 (01:38:56):
There's talking about that wide angle distorts your body. I'd
be like, Dad, don't you dare?

Speaker 14 (01:39:00):
Like when I saw the movie, I had to process
a little bit my insecurities of just seeing myself on
screen because I'm just not used to that, and you know, you.

Speaker 23 (01:39:06):
Notice all of the flaws that you hate about yourself.
So that was a process.

Speaker 14 (01:39:10):
But during the shoot, it's not something that I was
thinking about or supposed to think about, And I would
never dare tell him to do anything has to do
with only mom?

Speaker 3 (01:39:21):
Does that?

Speaker 2 (01:39:23):
So as you set up for a release, like, for instance,
Trap in two weeks, what's that anticipation journey like for you?
I mean you're still two weeks out. Yeah, So what
happens between now and the day it releases? Like where
do your emotions go?

Speaker 23 (01:39:38):
I mean, I'm just excited.

Speaker 14 (01:39:41):
I mean, we haven't two weeks of getting to kind
of travel the world and talk about the movie and
talk about this amazing experience that for me was like
just one of the greatest experiences of my life.

Speaker 23 (01:39:49):
And I, you know, I just admitted the album two days.

Speaker 14 (01:39:52):
Ago, you know, and it's coming out with the movie,
and so I'm excited for that music to be out
and extremely nervous and you know, all of the things.
But it's all very positive and I'm very proud of
the movie. And I can't wait to watch it again.

Speaker 2 (01:40:04):
Oh that's so cool. Yeah, I love that. Congratulations. This
must be just exhilarating for you.

Speaker 23 (01:40:10):
It's very exciting. I'm like freaked out and excited all
the time.

Speaker 2 (01:40:14):
Out do you deserve the bit to be freaked out?
If before you get out of here? And now I
got to talk about the album, which is coming out
in two weeks. Right, if someone said, hey, night, what's
this movie about? It's such a stupid question, but it's
it's a very very pure question. What's the movie about?
What journey are people going to go on when they
sit down to watch this? You know, for me, if

(01:40:37):
I feel like I have the right idea, that's half
of it. And then I have to find the right
angle on the idea, then that's the other half of it.
How I'm telling you the story?

Speaker 3 (01:40:47):
You know, so you know in this case, it's a
story of a man who realizes he goes to a
concert with his daughter and realizes that the FBI and
the police have set a trap for a serial killer
at this concert. And then you realize that he's the
serial killer. And so that's the angle. So I'm putting

(01:41:08):
you in his shoes, and you're gonna love him.

Speaker 5 (01:41:11):
There you go and love him.

Speaker 2 (01:41:12):
We're gonna love the serial killer.

Speaker 3 (01:41:14):
And so what does that make you feel when you're
you're with him? Like I made you, I've made you
him and now you're in a trap.

Speaker 10 (01:41:21):
So now what?

Speaker 3 (01:41:23):
And at the same time, you know, all this dark
stuff's happening, but there's still a pop concert going on,
Tailor swip concerts still going on.

Speaker 23 (01:41:30):
There's a lot of comedy.

Speaker 3 (01:41:31):
There's a lot of comedy.

Speaker 2 (01:41:32):
There's a lot of comedy. There's a knife butchering people.
Something for the whole family. You know.

Speaker 3 (01:41:38):
It came from this thing that I'd heard about when
I was a kid. It happened in Washington, d C.
I don't know if you guys remember this. They had
an event where they gave away on radio. They gave
away Super Bowl tickets to all these people and they
all showed up and you had to sign your name
and they had verified and they came in. Was watching
see came this thing and there's cheerleaders and mascots and
music and parade and everything, and they every he checks

(01:42:00):
in and comes in and you know, and then they
go into this this this ballroom and they're all there
and there's like however many, like five hundred, one thousand
of them, and then they shut the doors and said
they were all criminals that they were trying to catch.

Speaker 2 (01:42:13):
You're all under arrest. I remember, this whole.

Speaker 3 (01:42:15):
Place was under arrest. Everyone, every cheerleader, every mascot was
a police officer. Everyone there was a police officer and
they trapped the whole thing and literally you can look
this up and it's absolute mania. They're like dancing with
them when they come in. Yeah, and all these criminals
are so.

Speaker 17 (01:42:30):
Pumped about it.

Speaker 2 (01:42:32):
It was called Operation Flagship. Really yeah, and uh yeah,
so you feel like that.

Speaker 3 (01:42:37):
Was this, This is this feeling like of being that
this is absurdist. You know that it's happening at this
kind of event. This is where I'm gonna get caught.

Speaker 23 (01:42:45):
You know, extreams of Humanity in one place.

Speaker 2 (01:42:48):
In two weeks. The album's out, so let's talk about it. Yes,
how many? How many songs?

Speaker 10 (01:42:53):
Four?

Speaker 2 (01:42:54):
Fourteen trucks and you're performing all of them? Yes, yeah,
and they all feature. They're all feature in the film
as well.

Speaker 23 (01:43:00):
Different amounts. Yeah, some little bit and some more more featured.
But yes, see, how excited are I'm very excited.

Speaker 9 (01:43:08):
I have a question about this, so you don't ever
fiddle with his process when it comes to directing and
shooting a movie. Did he have anything to say about
your process when it came to writing the songs for
the movie?

Speaker 14 (01:43:18):
Writing, not necessarily, but I think in terms of finding
the right sound for the moments and placing the songs
in the right scenes. It was very collaborative because it's
his vision and what he's imagining, and every song was
very specific. It wasn't like, oh, just write a bunch
of songs and we'll put in the background. It was like,
in this scene, this is happening, and there's a song
playing from this moment to this moment, and then it
transitions to this song. So it was very very prescribed

(01:43:40):
and very curated in terms of what does the song
sound like production wise, what is the arc of production
through the beginning to the end of the movie and
the end of the concert. And it does escalate and
it has to kind of follow Josh Harten's characters kind
of feelings and anxieties and ups and downs, and so
I kind of tried to ride with him even though
it's being played by other characters. So it has to

(01:44:01):
kind of work some things. So it's very you know,
specific process, and we talked through every single song, and
then once we had the right songs that we wanted,
we talked through different positions and then you know, lyrically,
some of them were too on the nose for certain spots,
so we had to move them around and things like that.

Speaker 23 (01:44:15):
But yeah, so it was that part was very collaborative.

Speaker 14 (01:44:18):
But the writing, he really let me kind of be
free with that and and just take inspiration from, you know,
the characters in the script, which is like my favorite
thing in.

Speaker 23 (01:44:25):
The world to do.

Speaker 3 (01:44:26):
Yeah, there was songs that were Selika and songs that
were Lady Raven. And so I was like, well, that
one's a Selika, that one doesn't. That doesn't fit in
a movie.

Speaker 5 (01:44:34):
So are you gonna get a writing or producing credit
on this album?

Speaker 3 (01:44:37):
Oh no, I didn't do anything.

Speaker 6 (01:44:39):
The Yes, I love that.

Speaker 3 (01:44:43):
Yeah, it's been it's been beautiful. And even when you know,
she when when Columbia Records can't you know, started hearing
her stuff. And I do think it helps sometimes to
think of yourself as a character, you know, rather than yourself.
You can you know, you're actually more honest in some
ways and feel that and freer, so just by writing
as another character. And so I think when Columbia heard

(01:45:04):
it and felt this kind of you know, the beauty
of the intentions and things that that it would kind
of I just went and click for everybody.

Speaker 8 (01:45:11):
So do you still have to finish college?

Speaker 3 (01:45:14):
Finish?

Speaker 2 (01:45:16):
You're all good now? You're all good.

Speaker 10 (01:45:19):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:45:19):
The two weeks from today, an album drops and a
movie drops. Film drops. Of course we're talking about trapp
Uh night, Selika. Thank you guys so much for coming
in you congratulations, Thank you. May I play a song?
Of course the answers yes, uh, save me? Why are
we playing save me?

Speaker 14 (01:45:37):
I would say it's one of the earlier songs you
hear in the movie, and in kind of the world
of Lady Raven, we imagine this as like a single
that came out before. But of course in writing, you know,
the lyrics are thematically relevant.

Speaker 23 (01:45:48):
But I won't say too much.

Speaker 2 (01:45:51):
If you play save Me, do we say this is
Selika or would we say this is Lady Rayven.

Speaker 23 (01:45:55):
It's Selika.

Speaker 2 (01:45:57):
We'll tell Lady Raven we said.

Speaker 3 (01:46:01):
Night.
