Speaker 1 (00:00):
From the Mercedes Benz Interview Lounge.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Just speaking with Alessia Kara, who's here by the way.
He Alessa first started visiting our show when she was
around eighteen years old.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Yeah, yeah, even.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Though not toddler status, it was it was ten years ago.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Yeah, I can't believe it. I can't believe it's been
this long. And thanks for having me back.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Well, thanks for being had I guess, but no problem
you and as asked Gandhi asked Daniel, you're one of
my all time favorite guests because you're just so real
and your light is bright and you can sing too.
There's there's artistry as well.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
So obviously we're celebrating Valentine's Day with your new album
Love and hyperb Hyperbole. Yeah, it's a tough one, she said,
say hyper Bowl.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
See what.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
So many people say, hyper Bowl.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
It's funny this album. I thought this album was coming
out months ago.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
So did I.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
No, no, no, it was it was my choice. It
was by choice. Okay, sorry, what were you gonna say?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Well, what happened?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
What happened is that I just wanted to kind of
just like I realized it was going a little fast,
and I wanted to just let these songs breathe a
little bit, because I've been sitting on this music for
about three years now. So I just felt like I
didn't want to like go onto the next thing and
go into the next thing in order to just rush
the album. Like, even though I was excited, I was like,
if I waited three years, maybe let me just push
it to the new year, give these songs like a
(01:26):
chance to breathe before I just like pump out stuff
just so they just have their own little moment and
I can like take my time. So that's why we
pushed it. But it actually fell perfectly because you know
it's called love and hyperbole. It falls on Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
How many tracks?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Fourteen tracks, and it's fourteenth of February, So Laren.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Dip it is. You see a lot of people were
in traffic going to work right now, to work for
an accounting agency or sales department somewhere, and they have
quotas to me, they have deadlines. To me. The great
thing about being an artist, obviously you've hooked up with
a company that's like, she's an artist. Maybe we wanted
an album in October, but she needs to let it breathe,
(02:05):
she needs to work with it and sit with it
for a while. Okay, let's let her do that. And
aren't you happy that they were like, cool, Okay, do
what you want to do.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Yeah, I think so. I think they were also probably
happy about it. To everybody likes to have more time,
right like, just to like get things sorted, you know.
So it was good I think for everybody just to
like figure things out and to just I don't know,
just like have people sit with it. I think we
rushed things too much, like you know, especially in pop music,
it's very like okay, next, next, next, and this music
that you take years to work on just like goes
(02:35):
so fast, and I don't know, I just I like
for it to just have a little bit of time
to float around before we move on to the next.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Did you did you change anything about it in those
months or did you just sit with it?
Speaker 1 (02:45):
No? No, I just sat with it. I just yeah,
I just had.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Just stared at it from across the road.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, yeah, stared at it on my phone, just waiting
for it to come up here. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
And you know, there's a lott of love. There's a
lot of love love tracks, love thoughts and lyrics.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Oh wait, is it from real life love?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yes, but also a bunch of different facets of love.
There's of course a little bit of romantic love in there,
but yeah, hatred, divorce, yeah, divorce trial, No there, you know,
there's like familial love, friendship, love even like I talk
a lot about self love and just like looking at
life in a different way too. I think, you know,
it's kind of a bit of everything, all the facets
(03:25):
of love. Yeah. And hyperbole and hyperbole, Yes, hyperbole, hyper
You know your music.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
It's funny interesting anyway how an artist's music evolves with
them if you're true to your heart and honest and
out there artist, not afraid to show your emotions this
and that. So if this album Love and Hyperbole is
actually talking about you and your life? Is it in
the past, is it current? Is it in the future?
(03:54):
Is it when you hear these songs you're thinking, oh,
that was a great song then when I wrote it
and saying it, But now I'm off to a whole different,
different life, Like where are you with this album? Same lane?
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I think, honestly, like the first I tried to make
this album as chronological as possible, and so it starts
off a little bit sadder, you know, and it's it's
kind of about my journey, for lack of a better word,
through just like a hard time and learning to find
joy and and learning to reshape pain in different ways.
So I think that's, you know, thankfully I'm at, you know,
(04:27):
the second half of the album, I think now where
I've learned a lot and I feel a lot happier
than I was when I first started. So some of
those songs on the early side of the track list
I kind of can look back on with a different view.
But also like it's interesting how things kind of pop
back up into your life and develop new meanings, Like
I have songs that I listen back to now that
mean something totally different.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Give me an example, Like give me the song example
you're thinking of right now.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I'm thinking of, honestly a song called Subside, which is
about not to get too dark, but like anticipatory is
is that a word antisipatory grief?
Speaker 2 (04:59):
You know?
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Because I tend to be a person who like grieves
moments and things before they happen, and so a lot
of my grief in my life has been anticipatory. But
now I'm experiencing since you know, I wrote that song
real life grief from someone who passed away, you know,
very close to me, And so I listened back to
that song now with a totally new view, you know,
because I've experienced the other side of grief in a
(05:19):
really serious way. So it's interesting how these songs ring
true in different ways. Not to get dark. Sorry, good
morning everyone.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
So I'm just tracks one through seven are dark. Tracks
through fourteen, I'm gonna started track eight.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I know I have so many downers, right, I'm the most.
I'm the most, the biggest downer of all.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
You're not.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Has happened? Yes, no, not all. I have red shoes on.
I got red shoes on.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Shoes.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Aren't they so cool? They're like a weird shape, They're
like weird asymmetrical bottoms. Yeah, they're cool. So that's in
on of the album. And are you going on a
like global world tour or something? I am so exciting.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yes, it's in my notes.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Go ahead, it's in your notes. Yeah, I just announced
it yesterday. We're going all over the place. We're going
to Europe, North America, Australia, Asia, so many places. I've
I've never been before, and so many places I've never performed,
so I'm really excited. It's gonna be really cool. I'm
gonna be exhausted the world.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Yes, you even get time though, when you're on this tour.
You go to these places you've never been to explore
and have some time to yourself.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
It depends if I have an off day in that city.
If it falls in the right way, then yes, if
not not. Usually on a show day, you can't really
go too many places because you're doing promo or warm ups.
You can't really like, I don't really talk to preserve
my voice, so I can't really do much.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
But off days are the best I love. Can't you
say to them, Okay, we're going here. I've never been.
I really want to see it. Can you please slot
in some time for me to go and you know, explore.
I mean you you can, But when you're routing a tour,
it's tough because you've got to make sure that venue
is available, so you have to route it in a
way that the dates fit. I can't just be like
I'm gonna be off for three days here and then
the next city, but that next city might be booked
(07:08):
like another band might be playing there, you know, so
it's you have like it's really hard to route a tour,
and I know so many fans are so upset.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
They're like, you're not coming to my city. But it's
so hard to to route everything, and there's so many
factors that go into it that you know are so
out of your control. So I'm going to try to
go to more places though, don't hold me to that,
but I'm trying. I'm trying.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Unless your Kara is here. The album it's out today.
I'm looking at Jonas Brothers notes they're putting up in
an hour. You're celebrating your twentieth anniversary of the Jonas Brothers.
I am actually, yes, we've put these over here. I
am celebrating the hy hyper Purpoly. I can't say the
stupid word hyper Bowl. I'm hyper Bowl. It's out today,

Yes it is. And uh, your Max is here performing

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Max is here me, Yeah, I just saw him. He
just got a guitar.
Speaker 2 (07:59):

of artists that come in here and can make it
happen at this hour and sound as great as you

Yea, I know Chris, Chris Martin always does that. He
loves he loves to start over.
Speaker 2 (08:24):

Speaker 1 (08:24):
I think he plans those you think he's like, let
me to give it a moment, a.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Fake crack of the voice to go, oh, sorry, I'm
a human.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I love him because he's he's so talented and crazy.
He just is like from the stars. He has to
remind people that he's a person. Sometimes forget maybe he's
an alien. I don't think he is.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
John Billion, John Billion started to go love him. He's amazing.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
But I might start a couple of times out just because.

Okay, and then I want to ask you what you think.

one you Wow.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Wow, Nate names on Fire. I actually wrote that about
having Halloween your pizza.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
After I've never seen express the emotion ever.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
That's so sweet.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
All the people in their car right now quiet the
text say. Her voice is so beautiful. Maxell's great. The
guitar is just about breakups. They're asking.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
No, it's actually quite the opposite.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
The second half of the album.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
That happens she's jumping in. Yes exactly. It's about being
like reignited, feeling color again and feeling, you know, like
you're being expanded by.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
That's what I got from it. Yeah, I love Fire Fire.
You know you can look at all the elements, but fire,
to me is my favorite. Do you have Are you
a water girl or fire girl? What are you?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I'm a water I mean I'm a water sign, and
I'm definitely I think I feel like more water and
more like sensitive. Go with the flow right a little bit.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Yeah, I'm like fire.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
All three of us we have the three fire signs.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, what are all your signs? You guys?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
This or no? A Leo?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Elvis is Leo? Leo Danielle's aries and I'm a Sagittarius.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I actually I'm not just saying this. Can see that
for all.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
The Yeah, okay, I got okay, I have to call
partial bs on that.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
I hear you lea.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Someone who's going, what's your sign of I'm a Leo?
And they'll go, oh god, oh what do you mean?
Oh god? Oh what does that mean? Oh god? Oh?
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Because well there's like a there's like a you know,
every sign has like a negative connotation. I'm a cancer.
They say cancers are like moody and emotional and like
over sensitive, and they say that Leo's are like a
little bits a little cocky. Well, but I think that's
a beautiful thing to be, you know, to be confident
in yourself.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
You know, the only one I do definitely see right there.
Geminis geminis.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Yeah, my brother's a gemini nuts right yeah yeah, nuts.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
And a married one really, so who's the nuts?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
What do you love?
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Do you believe certain sign shouldn't date other signs?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Not necessarily, because I do think. First of all, I
think there's like you know, there's a whole birth chart,
so there's like all kinds of different signs within one person.
But I also think like there's personality there that's separate
from your son, Like I think people can still very
much get along if there's signs don't necessarily Like, I'm
not that heavy into it, but I do feel like
there's so much truth to it because everybody I meet
really matches their sign. Like I feel like you's not
(13:24):
that you're not cocky at all. And I don't think
leos are cocky. I think that they're confident and expressive.
And I love you and I.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Think we should please we should play Family for you
with less car.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yes, I went on that show Oh My Family, and
it was crazy.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
We won, But you and your family were on Family
for You.
Speaker 1 (13:41):

of them aren't announced yet. Okay, for whatever reason, I
don't know the logistics behind these things, but I believe
they're all booked unless they show up and there's no venue.

would like to go to Warsaw, Poland Diseason.

And Canadian comedian legend Jerry de O.
Speaker 6 (17:39):

something every pirate has a name, a royal title king.
Name the worst day of the week for traffic on Monday.
Name something in the bathroom that fills with water.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Canadians are so easy, They're so easy.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
I thought guitar for the worst one because I saw
maxim down.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
This is why it went in Canada, so relaxed, because
on Family Few they give him easy questions. Please you
up somehow Here's here's the thing. We're all we know,
we're all brilliant, but under the spotlight your the IQ
level goes down. It's like going to an airport week.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
I was on the weakest link and I got voted
all first. You were on the weakest and I was
the weakest link. By h Wait, did the ladies say
that to you?
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (18:28):
She did, and it was because and it's so hot
under those lights and you're so nervous.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Of course I forgot everything. Of course, yeah, I forgot
how to speak. I feel like even when I do that, like,

pocketed all No, no, no, we went it for a charity.

How do I quickly find out where you are traveling
to for your concerts?
Speaker 1 (19:05):
You can go on my website alessiacard dot com, slash tour,
or on my Instagram. I have the poster up. I
believe I think I pinned it to the top of
the of my page, so you can go there as well.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Did you do that or did someone do that for you?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
No, no, I do it. I do everything. I do
my own. So that's why I pose everything late. For
the people listening wondering why my social media might be
a bit disorganized, it's because I do it all. I'm like, okay, Twitter, Okay, Instagram,
I'm doing it all myself. But I asked for it.
I asked for it.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I just asked, who did your stuff?
Speaker 1 (19:34):
I see that was me venting, that was.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I needed to release that.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
There should be some punishment. You asked for it. Look,
we love you, We will always love you. We always have,
we always will. So please understand you always have an
open invitation to come with us over here, and I
host the show. Do whatever the hell you want.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Oh my gosh, I will take you up on that.
I'm going to be here every day.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Come back for a family feud and watch.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yes, how this a family few with me is fine?
But they're saying we're out of time. Otherwise this would
change your day, It would change the trajectory.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Your questions are harder than this question. Next time I
want to hear them.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
You'll see. Is it a date next time? Unless he
is here? Unlessay is coming back? And let me give
you another cut, one of fourteen incredible cuts off love
and hyperbole. This is fire, Yay, Thank you,
From the Mercedes Benz Interview Lounge.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Just speaking with Alessia Kara, who's here by the way.
He Alessa first started visiting our show when she was
around eighteen years old.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Yeah, yeah, even.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Though not toddler status, it was it was ten years ago.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Yeah, I can't believe it. I can't believe it's been
this long. And thanks for having me back.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Well, thanks for being had I guess, but no problem
you and as asked Gandhi asked Daniel, you're one of
my all time favorite guests because you're just so real
and your light is bright and you can sing too.
There's there's artistry as well.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
So obviously we're celebrating Valentine's Day with your new album
Love and hyperb Hyperbole. Yeah, it's a tough one, she said,
say hyper Bowl.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
See what.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
So many people say, hyper Bowl.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
It's funny this album. I thought this album was coming
out months ago.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
So did I.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
No, no, no, it was it was my choice. It
was by choice. Okay, sorry, what were you gonna say?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Well, what happened?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
What happened is that I just wanted to kind of
just like I realized it was going a little fast,
and I wanted to just let these songs breathe a
little bit, because I've been sitting on this music for
about three years now. So I just felt like I
didn't want to like go onto the next thing and
go into the next thing in order to just rush
the album. Like, even though I was excited, I was like,
if I waited three years, maybe let me just push
it to the new year, give these songs like a
(01:26):
chance to breathe before I just like pump out stuff
just so they just have their own little moment and
I can like take my time. So that's why we
pushed it. But it actually fell perfectly because you know
it's called love and hyperbole. It falls on Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
How many tracks?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Fourteen tracks, and it's fourteenth of February, So Laren.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Dip it is. You see a lot of people were
in traffic going to work right now, to work for
an accounting agency or sales department somewhere, and they have
quotas to me, they have deadlines. To me. The great
thing about being an artist, obviously you've hooked up with
a company that's like, she's an artist. Maybe we wanted
an album in October, but she needs to let it breathe,
(02:05):
she needs to work with it and sit with it
for a while. Okay, let's let her do that. And
aren't you happy that they were like, cool, Okay, do
what you want to do.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Yeah, I think so. I think they were also probably
happy about it. To everybody likes to have more time,
right like, just to like get things sorted, you know.
So it was good I think for everybody just to
like figure things out and to just I don't know,
just like have people sit with it. I think we
rushed things too much, like you know, especially in pop music,
it's very like okay, next, next, next, and this music
that you take years to work on just like goes
(02:35):
so fast, and I don't know, I just I like
for it to just have a little bit of time
to float around before we move on to the next.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Did you did you change anything about it in those
months or did you just sit with it?
Speaker 1 (02:45):
No? No, I just sat with it. I just yeah,
I just had.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Just stared at it from across the road.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, yeah, stared at it on my phone, just waiting
for it to come up here. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
And you know, there's a lott of love. There's a
lot of love love tracks, love thoughts and lyrics.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Oh wait, is it from real life love?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yes, but also a bunch of different facets of love.
There's of course a little bit of romantic love in there,
but yeah, hatred, divorce, yeah, divorce trial, No there, you know,
there's like familial love, friendship, love even like I talk
a lot about self love and just like looking at
life in a different way too. I think, you know,
it's kind of a bit of everything, all the facets
(03:25):
of love. Yeah. And hyperbole and hyperbole, Yes, hyperbole, hyper
You know your music.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
It's funny interesting anyway how an artist's music evolves with
them if you're true to your heart and honest and
out there artist, not afraid to show your emotions this
and that. So if this album Love and Hyperbole is
actually talking about you and your life? Is it in
the past, is it current? Is it in the future?
(03:54):
Is it when you hear these songs you're thinking, oh,
that was a great song then when I wrote it
and saying it, But now I'm off to a whole different,
different life, Like where are you with this album? Same lane?
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I think, honestly, like the first I tried to make
this album as chronological as possible, and so it starts
off a little bit sadder, you know, and it's it's
kind of about my journey, for lack of a better word,
through just like a hard time and learning to find
joy and and learning to reshape pain in different ways.
So I think that's, you know, thankfully I'm at, you know,
(04:27):
the second half of the album, I think now where
I've learned a lot and I feel a lot happier
than I was when I first started. So some of
those songs on the early side of the track list
I kind of can look back on with a different view.
But also like it's interesting how things kind of pop
back up into your life and develop new meanings, Like
I have songs that I listen back to now that
mean something totally different.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Give me an example, Like give me the song example
you're thinking of right now.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I'm thinking of, honestly a song called Subside, which is
about not to get too dark, but like anticipatory is
is that a word antisipatory grief?
Speaker 2 (04:59):
You know?
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Because I tend to be a person who like grieves
moments and things before they happen, and so a lot
of my grief in my life has been anticipatory. But
now I'm experiencing since you know, I wrote that song
real life grief from someone who passed away, you know,
very close to me, And so I listened back to
that song now with a totally new view, you know,
because I've experienced the other side of grief in a
(05:19):
really serious way. So it's interesting how these songs ring
true in different ways. Not to get dark. Sorry, good
morning everyone.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
So I'm just tracks one through seven are dark. Tracks
through fourteen, I'm gonna started track eight.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I know I have so many downers, right, I'm the most.
I'm the most, the biggest downer of all.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
You're not.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Has happened? Yes, no, not all. I have red shoes on.
I got red shoes on.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Shoes.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Aren't they so cool? They're like a weird shape, They're
like weird asymmetrical bottoms. Yeah, they're cool. So that's in
on of the album. And are you going on a
like global world tour or something? I am so exciting.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yes, it's in my notes.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Go ahead, it's in your notes. Yeah, I just announced
it yesterday. We're going all over the place. We're going
to Europe, North America, Australia, Asia, so many places. I've
I've never been before, and so many places I've never performed,
so I'm really excited. It's gonna be really cool. I'm
gonna be exhausted the world.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Yes, you even get time though, when you're on this tour.
You go to these places you've never been to explore
and have some time to yourself.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
It depends if I have an off day in that city.
If it falls in the right way, then yes, if
not not. Usually on a show day, you can't really
go too many places because you're doing promo or warm ups.
You can't really like, I don't really talk to preserve
my voice, so I can't really do much.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
But off days are the best I love. Can't you
say to them, Okay, we're going here. I've never been.
I really want to see it. Can you please slot
in some time for me to go and you know, explore.
I mean you you can, But when you're routing a tour,
it's tough because you've got to make sure that venue
is available, so you have to route it in a
way that the dates fit. I can't just be like
I'm gonna be off for three days here and then
the next city, but that next city might be booked
(07:08):
like another band might be playing there, you know, so
it's you have like it's really hard to route a tour,
and I know so many fans are so upset.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
They're like, you're not coming to my city. But it's
so hard to to route everything, and there's so many
factors that go into it that you know are so
out of your control. So I'm going to try to
go to more places though, don't hold me to that,
but I'm trying. I'm trying.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Unless your Kara is here. The album it's out today.
I'm looking at Jonas Brothers notes they're putting up in
an hour. You're celebrating your twentieth anniversary of the Jonas Brothers.
I am actually, yes, we've put these over here. I

stupid word hyper Bowl. I'm hyper Bowl. It's out today,

I think he plans those you think he's like, let
me to give it a moment, a.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Fake crack of the voice to go, oh, sorry, I'm
a human.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I love him because he's he's so talented and crazy.
He just is like from the stars. He has to
remind people that he's a person. Sometimes forget maybe he's
an alien. I don't think he is.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
John Billion, John Billion started to go love him. He's amazing.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
But I might start a couple of times out just because.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
If you could act more human, that would be a plus. Okay,
but you always sound awesome. You want to do, you
want to try.
Speaker 1 (08:58):

it's about. I'm gonna what the words tell me.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Okay, and then I want to ask you what you think.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Mak you with a bad voice?
Speaker 1 (10:41):

Speaker 2 (10:45):
That was dreadful. Why you're crying? I'm not the only
one you Wow.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Wow, Nate names on Fire. I actually wrote that about
having Halloween your pizza.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
After I've never seen express the emotion ever.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
That's so sweet.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
All the people in their car right now quiet the
text say. Her voice is so beautiful. Maxell's great. The
guitar is just about breakups. They're asking.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
No, it's actually quite the opposite.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
The second half of the album.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
That happens she's jumping in. Yes exactly. It's about being
like reignited, feeling color again and feeling, you know, like
you're being expanded by.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
That's what I got from it. Yeah, I love Fire Fire.
You know you can look at all the elements, but fire,
to me is my favorite. Do you have Are you
a water girl or fire girl? What are you?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I'm a water I mean I'm a water sign, and
I'm definitely I think I feel like more water and
more like sensitive. Go with the flow right a little bit.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Yeah, I'm like fire.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
All three of us we have the three fire signs.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, what are all your signs? You guys?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
This or no? A Leo?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Elvis is Leo? Leo Danielle's aries and I'm a Sagittarius.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I actually I'm not just saying this. Can see that
for all.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
The Yeah, okay, I got okay, I have to call
partial bs on that.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
I hear you lea.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Someone who's going, what's your sign of I'm a Leo?
And they'll go, oh god, oh what do you mean?
Oh god? Oh what does that mean? Oh god? Oh?
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Because well there's like a there's like a you know,
every sign has like a negative connotation. I'm a cancer.
They say cancers are like moody and emotional and like
over sensitive, and they say that Leo's are like a
little bits a little cocky. Well, but I think that's
a beautiful thing to be, you know, to be confident
in yourself.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
You know, the only one I do definitely see right there.
Geminis geminis.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Yeah, my brother's a gemini nuts right yeah yeah, nuts.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
And a married one really, so who's the nuts?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
What do you love?
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Do you believe certain sign shouldn't date other signs?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Not necessarily, because I do think. First of all, I
think there's like you know, there's a whole birth chart,
so there's like all kinds of different signs within one person.
But I also think like there's personality there that's separate
from your son, Like I think people can still very
much get along if there's signs don't necessarily Like, I'm
not that heavy into it, but I do feel like
there's so much truth to it because everybody I meet
really matches their sign. Like I feel like you's not
(13:24):
that you're not cocky at all. And I don't think
leos are cocky. I think that they're confident and expressive.
And I love you and I.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Think we should please we should play Family for you
with less car.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yes, I went on that show Oh My Family, and
it was crazy.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
We won, But you and your family were on Family
for You.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
We were on Family feod Canada. So a little different.

So there's that world tour. Is the info all out?
Are the venues booked?
Speaker 1 (14:14):

of them aren't announced yet. Okay, for whatever reason, I
don't know the logistics behind these things, but I believe
they're all booked unless they show up and there's no venue.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
See, I would rather than seeing you in Boston, I
would like to go to Warsaw, Poland Diseason.

Yes? Oh my goodness, I just like the second the
song started. Your voice is just so beautiful and it's
just personally for me, it's been, it's done it. It's
been a tough goal lately for me. So just having

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Canadians are so easy, They're so easy.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
I thought guitar for the worst one because I saw
maxim down.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
This is why it went in Canada, so relaxed, because
on Family Few they give him easy questions. Please you
up somehow Here's here's the thing. We're all we know,
we're all brilliant, but under the spotlight your the IQ
level goes down. It's like going to an airport week.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
I was on the weakest link and I got voted
all first. You were on the weakest and I was
the weakest link. By h Wait, did the ladies say
that to you?

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Did you do that or did someone do that for you?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
No, no, I do it. I do everything. I do
my own. So that's why I pose everything late. For
the people listening wondering why my social media might be
a bit disorganized, it's because I do it all. I'm like, okay, Twitter, Okay, Instagram,
I'm doing it all myself. But I asked for it.
I asked for it.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I just asked, who did your stuff?
Speaker 1 (19:34):
I see that was me venting, that was.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I needed to release that.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
There should be some punishment. You asked for it. Look,
we love you, We will always love you. We always have,
we always will. So please understand you always have an
open invitation to come with us over here, and I
host the show. Do whatever the hell you want.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Oh my gosh, I will take you up on that.
I'm going to be here every day.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Come back for a family feud and watch.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yes, how this a family few with me is fine?
But they're saying we're out of time. Otherwise this would
change your day, It would change the trajectory.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Your questions are harder than this question. Next time I
want to hear them.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
You'll see. Is it a date next time? Unless he
is here? Unlessay is coming back? And let me give
you another cut, one of fourteen incredible cuts off love
and hyperbole. This is fire, Yay, Thank you,
