podcast a few minutes late today becauseMikayla's mom called. We've been talking over
the last couple of weeks so manytimes about how just songs that remind us
that our parents aren't going to bearound forever. So we started this podcast

(00:42):
packed that we can no longer ignoreour parents' phone calls. So your mom
called, we're pressing the start button. We've already played the intro, but
Melissa face timed us dial this upand we had to take a minute to
talk to her. Because moms comefirst on this pod. They do do.

time someone has told me something they'vedone in La that I've been to.

(03:43):
Well, we want to know howwe found it. Experience TikTok because it's
a way to meet men supposed toit. I think I literally went there
like on a hint date that checksout your same This is what I mean.
Well, welcome back on the playlist. My name's John. We got
Mikayla here, Hello Marley Hi.Plenty of new music to get to today.

(04:05):
We got a brand new song fromEminem Shaboozi dropped an album. We
have some EDM bangers that I kindof want to run by you, a
couple of songs that might put youin your fields. And I do want
to try something new towards the endof the podcast, so stick around for
that. That's on the way.But before we get into today's new music,
I do want to get an updatefrom Mikayla because and I are like

(04:29):
besties now. We hung out lastweekend. We about Marley, and I
think that was the first time ina long time that's happened. Sad.
Wasn't it the best night of ourlives? It was so fun. It's
never been better. I think Ihate dry perfect Marley's like that, Arthur.
It was so fun. I hada great time. I'm glad to

(04:49):
make a cart we did. I'mso glad you guys had so much fun.
We played Birio KRT. Have youever played that? I have,
I've heard of Bio Card. I'venever actively played Berrio super fun. I
didn't play that, no, becauseshe had an hour drive home. Yeah,
she also doesn't like beer sold anythingthough. It's where you if you've
never played beeral Card, it's whereyou play Mario kart and you have to

(05:11):
finish a beer before the end ofthe race. The only rule is you
can't drink and drive at the sametime. You have to come to a
complete stop, chug as much asyou want, and then continue the race.
Oh my god, I played likethree races. Yeah, but I
was glad she came out. Wehad some margs. My friends really like
you guys went along. Yeah.I feel like I've known them forever.
I know, it feels that way. Maybe it's because we've I don't know,

(05:33):
because every time can hang out withyour guys's friends too, even if
I've met them for the first time. It just feels easy. Well,
I feel like, you know,good company comes along with good people,
and you guys are good people.That's so sweet. All right, all
right, let's do a little bitof this past the action here. Let's

(05:55):
start with the big releases. First, we got a brand new single from
Eminem. Not to be confus heused with Dua Lipa's new song Houdini.
But this is Eminem's new song Whodini, A little bit of a callback to
Without Me here. I like theI about to reach in my bag.

(06:23):
Bro. I actually really liked this. Yeah, it was cool. He's
always done like fun music. Yeah, and I feel like it's a good
balance between sounding like an e oran eminem song, but like it fits
that Houdini theme a little bit.It's got that kind of magic feeling without
being corny. Yeah, yeah,I agree. The callbacks were it makes

(06:45):
me want to sing the older songs, but I I liked I liked that
callback to without Me. Yeah,I agree, And he was going in
in these lyrics. It's essentially likeI think the gist of it is,
he's complaining it or not complaining,but he's calling out how soft the world
has gotten and how different the worldis since the original Slim Shady was out
there. He's making some claims inthis song, but I'm excited to see
the rest of it or hear therest of it there because I'm I mean,

(07:08):
I'm not a huge Eminin fan,but casual. You know, Okay,
I did. Did you guys listento the Shaboozie song album? I
listened to the one, the songwith Noah Cyris. Yes, what's it
called like not your Fault? OrI really like her voice from even though

(07:32):
it does sound like Miley, It'sI don't know, I love it,
and it's cool to hear her kindof win that country scene too, you
know what I mean, like thatwhole family just it's in the roots somehow.
Yeah. So I gotta spend moretime with the album, but my
Fault was definitely great. I'm gonnajust kind of transition over to my personal
picks though, because there are afew I want to tap into here.

(07:55):
First is this new release from Disclosure. Now, you guys know Disclosure from
one of the most iconic songs lastI mean, what a banger. It
just crossed one billion streams on Spotifyjust now, just barely. Yeah,

(08:15):
within the last couple of weeks.Here, remember when songs if they hit
a billion, it was like ahuge deal. Was the guy from American
Idol? He was like the firstperson to hit a billion? It was
that. It was like a guy. He wasn't on it. He was
like a joke. He was ajoke. Was he the pants on the
ground guy? No, there's pantson the ground, Pants on the ground,

(08:39):
looking like a fool. Pants onthe ground. Oh, you know,
I just saw too. You remembersitting on the toilet girl? Yeah,
I always think about that. Ithink I just came across her on
TikTok the other day. No,She's like, I'm sitting on the toilet
and someone's telling me to get chipotletand I was like, oh my god,
her and I have that in common. Dude. I always hear that
voice and I had anyway back todisclosure here. So they got this new

(09:01):
song and it's it's gonna be oneof the songs of the summer in that
m community. It's called She's GoneDance Song. So this song's been creepingded
It's been creeping in this community here. They first played it back in twenty
seventeen actually here in LA and thensome DJ has been playing it do whoops.

(09:24):
Dom Dala played it at Coachella,which was really sick, and then
people have just been bagging for iton the internet. It's one of those
ones where it was almost teased toolong, but now it's out and man,
when I play that, I'm justI'm in a good mood. I
feel like we're getting over someone together, like She's Gone Dance. Speaking of

(09:45):
dom Dalla, he just announced anLA show. Oh that's right at the
LA State Memorial Park. So whatit is? I think, Yeah,
whatever, the Park is over there. Yeah, but my sister and I
are going to go, so tagalong if you want to go. Is
your sister like an medium girl?She loves like all of those Like she's
been to the same artists that youlike in that realm, she's been there.

(10:09):
Yeah. Yeah, See, thisis the summer. We're getting Mikaela
into country, We're getting you intod M. It's gonna be so good,
dude, I'm feeling it to country. I think you do, okay,
But the thing is I like tosing and dance. I can't just
dance to beats. Yeah, yeah, but you know what I mean.
Yeah, I mean I kind offeel the same way. Like it's not

(10:31):
I don't gravitate towards those artists,but sometimes it is kind of just a
vibe depending on the be Like it'sthe space. It is the same way
in what you're in and the loudspeakers when they just don't you start vibrating,
can feel it in your bones andyou're like, it's the best dude
feel. I feel like, ifyou like to go out and dance to

(10:52):
your friend DJ, who plays likea lot of the music you like,
I think that can transition over youkind of just don't think about it and
you dance, because I feel likesometimes they do like come together. What's
the word I'm looking for, Hello, mash up, mash up? Oh
yeah, yeah kind of. Ifeel like sometimes it happens. Yeah,
I'm so sorry to divert this conversationonce again. That's okay. I'll bring

(11:13):
it back. Love Letters, thatfestival in Salt Lake City that just got
announced. Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is your lineup, by the
way, this is this is mylineup, and I am devastated that I
cannot be there. Run down yourfavorite artist that you saw in that lineup,
just like Sam McPherson is on there, Jeremy Zucker, Alexander twenty three.

(11:33):
Yeah, we'll be a little bitoffended that the festival was called love
Letter, but Knox isn't on thatlineup. I thought that was a little
bit of I think that was alittle bit of a missed opportunity on their
part, missed. I was alittle bit mad for Knox. That's disrespectful,
it is, I get it,but yeah, it was I said

(11:58):
I can't be there. Yeah.Anyway, I'm gonna bring it back to
m I know, I know,so I think this. Do you guys
know that song where you Are fromJohn Summit. I feel like it crossed
over to say where you Are.I'm so glad, you know, because
that was like one of the biggestM songs of last year, like skyrocketed

(12:18):
John Summit. Anyway, bring thatup because Kigo has a new song out
today. It's called Without You,and the vocalist is the same girl,
Hayla Hello. I feel like shealmost the same exact She sounds almost the

(12:46):
same in both of those songs.I feel has she been on other tracks,
because why do I know her voice? Because you probably have heard it
from Johnson and Johnson a song.It was a huge song, yeah,
man. But as soon as Iheard that from Kigo, I was like,
oh, that sounds it's almost thesame melody. She hangs on some

(13:07):
of those notes the same way,and I predict it's gonna be a big
one. Kaigo's got a new albumcoming out, self titled I'm Pumped for
that. I see that one morethan Disclosure Bang interesting. Yeah, I
mean yeah, probably personally for me, different I think different communities kind of

(13:30):
like that Disclosure one is for thepeople who don't need the lyrics, like
They're going in right vibe to houseand Kigo is where you get like it's
for me and Michayla's yeah have asummer hit. Yeah, yeah, exactly,
all right, So I'm gonna throwyou my last pick here, just
one of my favorite bands. Dude, Lawrence is introducing us to the family
business. Welcome to the family businessin this maker so well, like taking

(14:13):
us to church here. Wait,I love But I've seen them live a
couple of times because they opened forthe Jonas Brothers. Are they as amazing
as I'm amazing? Are? Theyare so fun on stage kind of reminds
me. That reminds me of bleachers, where it's about the instruments and then
you're entertaining the entire time. Everyone'srunning around the stage. They got the
full band. So yeah. Theyopened for John Belly in too when I
saw him at degree. That makessense to me, and I wish I

(14:37):
appreciated their set more. Yeah,I feel like when this next album comes
out and they tour like that,we got to make it. We absolutely
have. It's going to be.They actually opened for jingle Ball in New
York at the pre show. Actuallypeople are ugly did too, so they
were both on. Yeah, itwas such a good show and they I
saw them perform there too, andthey were great and I got to talk
to them backstage and there they wereso cool. So the lead singers are

(15:01):
brother and sister, and I foundout their dad. He wrote Miss Congeniality
and he was the director for Didyou ever see that Hugh Grant movie?
Music and lyrics? No, II feel like I have, but it's
been a minute. He was thedirector for that movie. So I was
like, they kind of do havethis music family business. Oh wow,
Okay, I thought that was socool. So this is just one of
those wholesome songs and I fell inlove with it this week. So good.

(15:24):
All right, I'm taking out myox. Who wants it? Next?
I can take it? Okay,I mean a little more like I
want the arms, I want it, I want it settled down. Marley's
taking the thank you Hi Hi.I'm gonna take a completely different tune here,

(15:48):
coming off of the Lawrence track.Yeah, I know, that's okay.
We are diverse on this pod.So the first song that I want
to talk about it's called through theBook Bye. I think his name is
Steinsa. I've seen him before,but don't know how to pronounce his name.
I think it's Steinsa. I couldbe wrong, but I go with

(16:10):
that featuring Zaxiba, which we allknow. I love Zaxiba, But I
just this song felt like a warmhug because the whole the whole song is
about like navigating life and being aloneand persevering through it all and knowing that
everything you just have to take itday by day. And it just felt
like, you know, a warmhug. I loved it. It goes

(16:33):
Page's Page Paine Well, Dave barDay next Day, Same found you day,
bad day, just skitch on them. It's Page Well, Day,
bar Day, next thing. Ijust love their voices together. And also

(16:57):
I feel that I say that sooften to myself, like everything is day
by day, like as someone who'sso type A and needs to have everything
planned out. Yeah, when lifefeels like chaotic or I you know,
don't have something figured out, justtaking it day by day is all I
can say to myself. And soagain, I just I loved that.
I feel like Zach sebat All hismusic like does a really good job of

(17:19):
just like I don't know, takingyou places. Yeah, when I heard
that guitar in there. I wasjust like, that sounds very much like
the rest of his music. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And a lot
of his songs too, are verystorytelling, like storytelling, yeah, like
that very singer songwriter, yeah,which I love. Like he has a
song called Girl in a Coffee Shopwhich I really love. That's one of

(17:40):
my favorites. And like Christmas Lights, which I've talked about on the podcast
before, but although it's not hissong, he's just a feature. Like
I think it's a really good featureto have on a on a song of
this style. So agree. Iloved that one second one which I'm really
excited to talk about because this onekind of came out of left field for
me. It's called These People AreNot Me by Chris James, who's an

(18:03):
artist that I recently discovered within thelast few months, and it's just it's
about, you know, how beinga human is hard these days. It
feels like everybody he's got it,everybody he's got it. But I see
these people and wonder if they're honestone, if there's something but these people

(18:32):
d I have to tell you,first of all, I love Chris James.
Yeah, like he's I absolutely lovehim, I think. I actually
know that, I think, butI discovered him because of you. We've
brought him up on the pod,So yeah, maybe that's why. But
it's so I'm so glad you broughtthis up because when I first listened to
this song this morning, I thoughtof you a hundred pos. I was
like, this song screams Marley tome. Oh my gosh. I loved

(18:52):
it, and we talk about thepiano. I was gonna bring that up
because I thought of you when Iheard it. I thought of John when
I heard it, because I waslike, this is giving JP's Sachs vibes,
which I know you love those littlejazz piano riffs. But I just
I loved the message that this songbrought because it was you know, being
a human is so hard, andeveryone compares themselves to everybody else, and

(19:15):
so it's it's hard to sit backand be like, you know, constant
reminder, like those people are notme, Like my life is my life,
Your life is your life. Likeeveryone's on different paths and moving at
different speeds and that's okay. Andhe when he posted about releasing the song
today, he said, and youknow, the more I see things moving
the more I see the pressure thatI put on myself growing. And I

(19:36):
made this song as a little reminderto chill out. And I was like,
wow, I am. I waslistening to some of the lyrics in
the very first verse here, andthis is the part that I think reminded
me of you. Okay song.People don't cry and they guess, uh,
keep it together, and they getme. Oh they're head up on
lipa. So John's basically telling methat I cry a lot and I'm angry

(20:02):
a lot. I don't know howto say no. I think out of
most people like you, you're someonewho wears your emotions very much on your
face. And that's something I wishI was better at. Like I tell
my girlfriend that all the time.That's one of my favorite things about her,
and I think that's such an admirablequality. But I think it's so
interesting that he's like, Yeah,there are people who can just keep it
all together at all times and notreally show these emotions. But those people

(20:22):
are not me, and I feellike you own that. So I was
just like, dude, this isMarley Man. Wait, I'm gonna cry.
That's so nice. I truly,like I thought it was so cool.
Well, I think it's really funnythat you brought that up because I
literally wrote down in my notes totalk about how the first verse I felt
in my soul, and I quotemyself in my notes. That's so cool,
I love. But it's true.I do wear my emotions on my

(20:45):
sleeve, and it's always I alwayssay it's one of my best and worst
qualities. But it can do thateither way. I feel like sometimes I'm
the opposite, and again that's mybest and worst quality. Like sometimes I
can keep it together better, butthen there are some times that like it
would be best to show people mytrue feelings because we can just communicate better.

(21:06):
So I feel like it's nice thatI never have to guess what you're
feeling, you know. I lovedthat anyway, It's a great song.
The whole song as a whole isjust kind of a slow bop as well,
But I just liked the meaning inthe first verse. To your point
really caught me, So I waslike, I'm in. I'm in.
I love that last but not leastmy girl again, Marony shes always thinking

(21:33):
you guys retire, I'm like,she does not miss Okay, so she
has this song called Never Left Me, which is on the soundtrack for the
Twisters movie, which the line yeah, which that lineup is stacked. But
I I didn't realize what the song. I didn't know what the song was
going to be about before because Ithink we've discussed this. I don't know
what the movie is about. I'venever seen the movie too. Well,

(21:56):
all right, MICHAELA, of course, but it's Twister, but like whatever,
So I had no idea what,like what the song was gonna sound
like obviously, or like what thelyrics were going to insinuate. But she
actually said she it was her firsttime writing a song for a movie,
and this song was actually inspired byher childhood home, which put a whole

(22:22):
new meaning for the song when Iwas listening to it, because at first
glance, like I said, that'snot what I would have thought it would
have been about. But the lyricsare, you know, the first one
says, come back a different me, but it's good to see the same
old jew. Like you leave homeand you come back to your childhood home
and it's like you're different, butthe house is still the same, you

(22:44):
know what I mean. Like that'scrazy, but it's a good way,
all good of themself again, it'sbeen too fair? Was good? Cry
gets up and yourfult like I leftyou, but you never left me.

(23:11):
I just root for her. Doyou guys? Do you guys still like
does your your family still live inyour childhood homes? I have moved twenty
one times in my life. Ohthat's a lot. That's a lot of
times. I like, if youasked me what my childhood home was,
I couldn't tell you. Before Igraduated, I moved eighteen times. Sounds
like I never got in the samearea. Yeah, most of them were

(23:32):
in the same area we lived in, like Arizona for a little bit.
But like once I want to say, like I know, I don't know
you. Now I know you're adifferent person. I lived in achab which
is essentially Bakersfield until the second grade. From like first or second grade to
third or fourth I lived in Havasu, Arizona, and then from fourth grade
on I lived in Corona. Butso much in Corona. There were so

(23:55):
many times like I legit wouldn't unpackedboxes. I would just leave them in
my closet because I was like,I'm gonna move anyway. What's Oh my
gosh. So I guess that thatwas a long answer of saying no,
oh my god. Well, Ifeel like I just learned so much about
you. My whole life one wasa condo, and I was first born
until first grade, and then fromthen on second grade up. I was
in the house that my mom stillonsand lives in and still now. But

(24:18):
I do not have the same bedroom. My brother took that over when I
moved to La so mine like astorage closet with a twin bed. But
is that like, isn't that sofunny? Now you get to like listen
to the song and think of yourhome like you left, but it never
left you. I know. Didyou ever do one of those like cool
house things where you maybe have likethat wall where you put your height going

(24:38):
up the door sill or something.We did do that, but it's not
there anymore, but we did.I don't remember when we stopped, but
I had that at one point.You want to I'm so sorry to go
ahead, You're good. I wasgonna say eulogy. Pink Sky Is by
Zach Bryan mentions that yes, thetakes on the doorframe hurt. Talking about
this the other day that like it'sgoing to be so impossible for us own

(25:00):
home some days, right, Butthat's one of the things that draws me
to wanting to own one, isbecause I want to do stuff like that,
like make a place mine and watchyourself grow and totally that's like something
that's so rare for people our agenow. It makes me so sad.
It makes me sad too, AndI don't think that I would want to
move a lot like I feel likeI would want one home to raise my
kids in. Obviously that's not aguarantee, guaranteed, it's hard, but

(25:25):
I would love to just have aforever home right away. I know.
Yeah, dreams are fun though,but yeah, I loved that song She
brings back the steel pedal guitar,which you guys both know that I love.
So I those were my three picks, and I thought they were all
very me Yeah, they were goingto take out your ox. All right,

(25:45):
We're going to take a quick breakbefore we come back to you,
MICHAELA. So your picks are onthe way. Stick around, we'll be
right back. We're back, heprogress. I just wanted to plug in
the sox for you. Very excited, all right, Mikayla, you are

(26:07):
next. What songs did you likethis week? All right? So first
up, we got Beach Weather.They're one of my favorite bands. Nick
Santino from A Rocket to the Moon. I just when I think of Nick
Santino, I just think of mychildhood. But also like, he's like
an A list celebrity to me,even though he could walk in here and

(26:27):
no one might know it. Funny, yeah, but I see it.
I like, because I've known himmy almost my whole adult life, like
since I was like thirteen, twelvewhatever. But he's in a band called
Beach Weather. Their song blew Upa couple years ago, sex Drugs,
et cetera. But they have anew song called High and Low Places.

(26:52):
True. I just think their musicis such a vibe number one, but
also this song staying High in LowPlaces, I was just thinking that it's
like, no matter who you're with, even though things might be tough for
hard right now, if you're withthat specific person, it doesn't matter.

(27:15):
You're feeling high, happy, yeah, and not worrying about the lows in
life. So that's what I gotout of this song, and I think
it was such a clever way tosing about something like that totally. You
know, are they who you?Just who? You guys just saw recently?
We did? We saw them lastmonth. Yeah, don't ask me
when we saw any of the month. I'm going to say three months ago,
and it's definitely not right. No, it's the beginning of this month,

(27:37):
the first weekend. Yeah, butthey're a vibe. I love them
and Nick Santino is an A Listcelebrity. Thank you, Nick st So
you see the lead singer. Yeah, who's like Marley? Who's your A
list celebrity that could walk anywhere andmost people wouldn't know. Oh, can
I think about it? Yeah?I think I kind of felt that way

(27:59):
when Chelsea Keller was in building andI me and you're literally studying John.
John and I were standing by thetable and she walked in and we went,

her walk right by and then wewent John, we missed her opportunity.
But the Morning Show Can interview edShearon. I'm like, hey, dude,
what's up? No, that that'sisn't that so funny though? To

(28:22):
us? To like we'll have peoplein and I'm like, you're you're cool,
but like, are you Nixzanino?Are you like nightly person? No?
But also Nixtentino's from Boston, soit was like, uh oh,
we saw him a lot because wegrew up there and he had a bunch
of different bands and I would alwaysperform there. Do a lot of people
in Boston know him? I thinkso, yeah, for sure, Like
No, Rocket to the Moon wasa huge band, especially being in Boston.

(28:45):
And Jess actually in college ran intohim at the mall mm hmm,
and she was getting her phone fixedso she couldn't text me or anybody else,
and Nino's like and she didn't evengo up to him. I was
like, why she goes, Iwas nervous. It's like he would have
loved it, That's what I mean, Like, especially people at that level
would love that kind of stingy.Yeah. But I feel like, again,

(29:06):
everyone knew who he was, oron the at least That's what I
would think, Like people knew whoNixtentino was. He was like a Boston
celebrity, like you know, ButI just think that was funny. She's
like, I couldn't even text youto say Nix Santino's here, right,
now what do I do? Nixonwas getting fixed. It's funny. I'm
crying. I know. I loveda Rocket to the Moon, back and
back in their time at the eightyone to twenty three Fest. I think
it was three years ago. We'reconfusing that name. I'm thinking of walked

(29:30):
them in. Okay, yeah,okay, yeah. So eighty one twenty
three Fest is the mains and theyperformed there, but Nick Sentino jumped on
stage with them during their shout andperformed a Rocket to the Moon song,
and I truly cried. I couldhave cried. But anyway, I hope
one day he can play some ofthose songs again. I know, I
hope so too. Yeah, Butanyway, onto another new music Friday song.

the second one now yesterday, He'slike, surprise, Like I have anyone
coming out called Waves tonight nine pm. Check it out. And this one

(30:17):
I want to be at the beach. I just want to be playing this
music, sitting on the sand watchingthe sunset, playing this song. And
in the lyrics he says, waveI'm writing is This is the way he's
saying wave I'm writing is a vibe, because does it sound like he's literally
flow. It sounds the way thathis vocals are. It sounds like he's
in the beach. The vocals aren'tso loud. It's kind of in the

(30:41):
background. Want to be like ahead, want to be like laying on a
surfboard, and it's like something Iwant to be floating via vibe, but

(31:03):
also like whatever vibe you're on,it's just the wave you're riding. Like
I'm gonna say that, yes,the wave I'm writing. You know you
know what I was. I saidthis last week or whatever two weeks ago.
Whenever he dropped what's it called,the first one or the second the
second one, I asked, cryfor me, cry for me. I'm
so sorry. When he dropped cryfor me, I was like, oh,

(31:25):
this is this is it? Likethis is going to be his best
one? No, I was wrong. This one, okay, this is
my favorite one. Felt so bad. When did he announce this yesterday?
I feel like yesterday, literally yesterday, thank God, because I like post
this thing on my on my TikTokof like a bunch of new music that
was coming out because I went toresearch on Thursday of all the new music

(31:45):
coming out tonight, and then hewent on TikTok and liked it, and
I was like, what a guy. And then I saw that you put
his song in the playlist and Iwas like, oh my god, he
came out with a song and Imissed it. I thought, so bad.
No, I'm pretty sure he literallysaid it yesterday, I have a
new song coming out tonight, likesurprise. Oh. I was like,
that's like, I know. Ifollow its accounts and I and I missed

(32:05):
that that song was coming out.I was like, dang, what a

vibe of this song. I lovehis new music. I'm excited for Nightly's
new music. But yeah, Monnyboy boy, I missed. I missed
the market. We'll take it.So my last one a band I've been

(32:29):
talking about a lot recently. Peopleare Ugly. Their new song Just Friends
came out, and me and Marleyhave been waking up singing their music in
the last couple of weeks. No, truly, I can't make it up.
We came into this podcast today trulyscreaming their songs. That's what that
song was. That was one oftheir songs. So this song is called
just Friends, and basically in thelyrics it says, you think we'd be

(32:52):
great friends together, I said wecould do better. So basically the songs
like I have friends, I havea lot of friends. You're not just
a friend. I want you tobe more. Maybe I messed it up
and we can't be but like you'renot just a Friend's good why I'm blocked
out? I don't want to talkabout what because I got some friends friends

(33:20):
an anti friend zone song. Ilove that. I just want to like
fun for rock out to that.And like I said, their music is
just so fun, I just wantto dance. So if the concert,
like we said, we can't getover it. It was so fun.
It was so fun because this musicis just so like that old school rock
emo vibe that I miss and thatwe're missing and it is coming back.

(33:40):
But this it's like very early blanquantityto type on the side, more popular,
more punk than pop. Yeah,I'm here for it, here for
it. I think I need youguys to like send me a couple of
I guess I could just check outthe artists, but like, I want
you guys to send me a coupleof the best songs because I every time
you play them love it. Yeah, but I know where to start.

(34:00):
Yeah, we will for sure cookme up. I got you. That's
it for you. But those aremy three this week. All right,

nothing for me. It's called theBeginning. A band I really like called

(34:43):
who we know of I think throughKnox question Mark, Yeah, big question
mark on that, I'm sure.But it came out with a song called
The Shitty Way, and I reallylike it. It's basically about finding out
that someone wasn't into you and theywere into other people, which would have
been fine if you just told me, but I had to find out the
shitty one. A phone wasn't all. It wasn't me because I gave you

(35:06):

just found out the shittyway. Idid see this on my new music Friday
list. Yeah, and then Idon't know who this is. I didn't

(35:27):
really do too much research because Ijust found the song not too long ago
this morning. But Carol aids,I think it is. And it's this
song called dreams My hand again becausewow, right hand, I felt like,

(36:15):
you know, when you can't reallyexplain it, but something about the
way the chords are, on theway the music comes together, like it
just it took me somewhere. Yeah, I was like, wow, that
song met was It was a beautifulThe production sometimes I just noticed production so
much more like flat by midnight.I always say it's their production. It's
just like every single song that theyput out. I'm in it, Yeah,
I am in it immersed. That'svery immersed in that song I'm wearing

(36:36):
fly by midnight today. By theway, shout out to the main,

yeah. I also have an honorablemention Someone to Love by Christian French.
I love Christian French and anyway,he called it a it's all for all
his self sabotagers out there. Idon't have a clip of it, but

All right, So it's about thattime for the top three releases of the
week. We've heard a bunch ofmusic here today. We've gone to quite
a bit. It's time for thetop three releases this week? Are we
going three to one? Three?Who ready first? Not me? Okay,

(38:02):
I'll go first, all right?Top three releases this week. Number
three, I Gotta Go Dreams byCarol A for an honorable mention. It
was an honorable mention. I didn'treally have much to talk about for it,
but I just loved it. Soit's out. It's out, just

(38:24):
out today. Yeah, loved it. Number two She's Gone Dance on from
Disclosure Party. And number one FamilyBusiness by Lawrence. Yeah, oh my
god, welcome to the Family Business. She's already in this make So I'm

(38:49):
obsessed with that song. I couldhave pegged that would have been on your
top three? Yeah, number oneto Lawrence. Who's coming next? Okay?
But can it be other? Yeah? It can be one, It
could be totally anything. I'm stressed. Okay, I'm stressed too, but
I think I'm ready. Number three. I'm looking. I wrote down all

(39:10):
the songs as we were talking aboutthem, and I'm trying to cipher,
cipher sift theratists through them. Ithink I'm gonna do people are ugly as
number three out today. Number twofamily business. Wow, Marlee, I
think you have the same line,the same one, and number one.

(39:36):
It's going to be Christians these days. It feels like everybody's got it every
good interesting, Okay, MICHAELA.I'm stressed, Oh my gosh, because
I like some of John's honorable mentions. I know I considered the Carol the
Carol one for for my top three, but I hope I'm pronouncing her name

(39:58):
right. It might be Ads,but I believe it's Aids either way.
Oh okay, number three, Ohmy gosh, I feel like I didn't
give the honorable mentions enough listen,but I know that I'm gonna after this.
It's gonna be on a repeat.That's okay. You can't change the
top three, but at this currentmoment, current moment, okay, okay,

(40:23):
four, Oh, okay, Numberthree waves Johnny boy. See that's
the one where I'm like, youknow, number two, oh, people
are ugly, just just friends.And number three because I'm truly gonna go

(40:46):
put this on in the car Dreams. Wait, that's number one. That's
why I said, right, yousaid three, but that's okay, okay,
number number one start everyone started with. So I'm realizing Johnny Boy is
up there at number one for metoo. But that's what I thought,

(41:08):
you asked, Hey, I know, I think. I think in the
moment, I was thinking about theones that I chose, and I would
have picked Chris James for the top. So I think it's tied Johnny Boy
Chris James. Number of great stuffout today. It was if I was
going through mine, yeah, itwould have been probably my top three picks.

(41:28):
But I'm so happy you guys foundlike or I just heard what I
heard through that song Dreams because Iwas coming in the parking grash today and
I sat in my car and listenedto it a few times, and I
was like, I don't know muchabout it. We're absolutely listening to it
all the way, but I'm doingsomething the way it brought me in and
I felt it when that beat came, and she's like, can im Yeah,

(41:49):
I'm glad. I'm okay. Nowthat's gonna be on repeat. Then
by people are okay, because I'vebeen waking up singing their music. No,
I'm gonna wake up singing this song. Okay. So I want to
try something new on the podcast.I don't know if we I don't know
if we're prepared this week. SoI'm gonna ask you guys if we have
it ready. If not, wecan start it next week. But I
want us to bring I don't knowwhat to call it, but essentially like

(42:09):
a song of the week, somethingyou're really into this week. And my
thought process is, yeah, wetalk about new music, which is great,
but it's really hard to find adeep emotional connection to a song that
we've heard at the time of recordingthis podcast for twelve hours maybe right.
So I'm thinking, just something you'reinto this week. It could be new,
it could be old, it couldbe a throwback banger, it could
be something that is bringing you intosummer, something that's putting you in your

(42:31):
feels. Just one song that youcan kind of bring to the table that
you're really into this week. Arewe prepared this week? Should we start
this next week? I think Ihave one? Whoa, Okay, yeah,
let's are you Are you prepared,Mikayla, Yeah, I can.
I can spon show. Let's doit? Okay, So I think do
you want me to go first?Yeah? First? I think I have

(42:52):
to say this. Do I knowit? Yeah? Okay, I think
I have to say this one becauseI truly woke up singing it this morning.
Deepen By. People are ugly?People are ugly? Is having a
moment? They really are? It'seither that or what if you changed?

(43:13):
By the Wildlife? That one isstill on That one's still on repeat for
me, So walk me through thispeople are Ugly? One? Why?
Why this one? Why is itstuck in your head? Is it about
the No? I don't know ifit's like the tune of it. I
don't know how to describe it,but it just feels like exactly how we
describe their songs earlier, Like itfeels very like punk when you listen to

(43:37):
it. Does it take you tothe live show every time? Not necessarily
the live show, but it almostkind of reminds me of being in my
like pop punk era, Like it'salmost kind of a nostalgic feeling, but
in a new way, which islike odd, But I love it and
so but I just I've been gravitatingtowards that one. It's been on repeat.
Nice that one and what if Youchange by the Wildlife? All right,

(43:58):
MICHAELA, we're coming to you.I have to say this week,
I've been waking up singing people.Are you know that's lyrics. It's like
I wake up and I just startsinging it. I walk into the kitchen,
I start singing it. And it'snot an older song, but not
one of their most most recent.It's called brain Dead. Recently found out
Will Smith was a rapper and Drakeused to be a Nickelodean actor. Apparently

(44:21):
the Lego movie is great. Haven'tseen sex? Pistols is slang for penis
and it is the most like funny, like un serious song you could think
of. But it's like I recentlyfound out Will Smith was a rapper and
Drake used to be a Nickelodeon actor, And that's what the line that keeps
suck in my head. And Iwas like, yeah, Drake used to

(44:44):
be a Nickelodeon. I watched agrassy growing up like it just again.
Then No Soldier brings me back likeWill Smith, he was a rapper.
You know how old the people andpeople are ugly there, He's ugly people.
They're our age. Oh nice,so pretty young? Yeah, like
twenty twenty. No, they're alittle bit older. But I think one

(45:05):
is like twenty six, but oneis thirty two. So but people are
ugudly stuck in my head. Andalso what if you change the wildlife?
Because again, it just makes mefeel things? Yeah, sometimes the good
things. Good. No, itmakes me emotional. Dad. That song
has been on just so much.It really has. It's a great song.
Probably will be a top song forthis year. I think so too.

(45:28):
I was someone posted that I guessyou can always check your on repeat
playlist on Spotify. That's what Iplay. That song is my number one
right now? Oh, oh mygod, I wonder what mine is?
No, yeah, check yours.Hold on. It's called repeat something and
it just shows all the songs recentlyon repeat. Okay, yeah, that's
the Oh you want to know what'snumber one? Nostalgia by the Bank mean
then wow, wait, let's doit minus Okay, the brain Dead is

(45:52):
before what if you change? Wait? Does do you know if it goes
truly like one through whatever? Yeah? Yeah, it's in order. Okay,
Well, mine's never let Go byBlake Rose My second one, really
throwing a wrench in here, Heartworksby Wingtip, Oh your Hearts the colde

(46:13):
like Us, and then also butDaddy, I Love him. That's number
three. Swift knew that, Okay, So before we get out of here,
you never said yours? Yeah,hello, so the wildlife, but
I think so mine's gonna be alittle bit of a of a vibe switch,

(46:35):
right, So don't don't prepare forlike an upbeat banger. So Charlotte
Cardon, who was in the studionot too long ago, she's got this
song were you there? I wasthere, so you don't remember talking about
this, but she has this songdid Life Work Out for You? And
she was telling this story because shejust came out with this EP it's called
A Week in Nashville and that songshe was inspired because she was in France
one time and she ran into thisfan from the US and she's not a

(46:59):
huge artist by any means, soit was cool that a fan stopped her
in Paris who's from the US wholiked her, and they were from Utah
and she's like, oh, Iknow someone from Utah. Who do you
know? Like? Who is it? And the fan said the name and
it was like her ex from highschool. Isn't that crazy in Paris?
What it's a small world, that'sinsane. Yeah, and she was like,
of course, the one person yousay from Utah is like my ex

(47:22):
from high school. And it wasone of those relationships where it's like it
was young, you know, it'slike high school, you're puppy or whatever.
And so she wrote this song didlife work out for You? And
that's essentially what the song is about, like looking back at that person and
wondering if life worked out for you. And she's got these lyrics that say,
it's not that I want you back, like I'm not missing that or

(47:44):
anything, but I do sometimes thinkthat that's crazy that my life could have
ended up that way. It's notshit, come, it's not. I

(48:04):
guess I'm just lifealth right. Sowe have the second Chance prom coming up
for my FM, the radio stationI work for, and we're posting these
pictures of our prom, right,and so I was like, oh,
I want to post a picture ofmy date. So like I had to
go look up my date to gether permission to post it because she's married
now, right, and I don'teven think I followed her. So I

(48:28):
looked her up on Instagram and she'slike married and she's got a kid.
And I mean we only dated fora couple of months senior year. But
it's interesting that in that moment senioryear, that's the vision that I thought
might happen, you know, Andlike it's not that I want that back
or anything, like I love theperson I'm with. And Charlotte has a
lyric about that too, But it'sinteresting to see, you know, like
we're at the age now where youstart to see the little tree branches that

(48:51):
broke off and like what you thoughtyou would end up with, you know
what I mean, and how thatchanges. And I thought that was so
interesting. So I've been reflecting onthat a lot this week, kind of
wild like Perry Edwards from Little Mix, who dated Zane Malick, but she
just came out with the song tooI talked about on the pod, but
hers was the same thing, likeI wonder what the life we could have
had, Yeah, and like itdoes make you think like had we stayed

(49:12):
together, right, would we bethe ones married right now totally with kids?
And that's crazy I'd like to believe, no, you know, right,
Like even this song from Charlotte,she says I'm I usually like to
believe that everything works out the wayit's supposed to, and I firmly believe
that too, right, Like,you don't want to end up with your
high school boyfriend or girlfriend unless you'reone of those sweethearts. I know some
people like that, and that's great. But for the most part, life

(49:35):
does work out the way it's supposedto. But it's it's cool to think
about, you know, yeah,like, huh, what a different life
that could have been. So onthat note, before we get out of
here, I want to run throughsomething that's your song. It's my song.
Yeah, that's the song that I'vebeen into this week a little bit.
So before we get out of here, going to play some teases that
we've seen on TikTok this week.We got a new song coming out.

(49:57):
I know you're gonna be excited.Mikayla from Joe Jonas. You get so
much money, be gridable. You'remaking the moment comfortable to get I get
her nights to be invisible, evenbaddies, saddis and the modest shoes.
I love that song. I can'tbreathe when I saw this, I was

(50:19):
like even saddie's getting saddie. Evenbaddies get saddy And do you think this
is the song that he worked withAlexander twenty three on? Oh maybe,
I don't know. I don't know. He hotly, probably because he's been
in the studio with him, Iknow, so true. Even baddies get
saddiest. You know, even baddiesget saddies. He's battie. Yeah,
you will you fan her for aminute. Yeah, she's not okay,

(50:45):
Wow, you guys. The BankComuino just texting me. What do you

(51:58):
the lead singer, Dan Reynolds says, yes, so it's hot. He
yes, But he also just talkedabout how like his brothers, I saw
an article or like doctors and allthis stuff and they're making money. He's
like, but I'm a musician onthe oddball out and I'm making more money
than you. That's great, dude, Oh my god, that's the goal.
