1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,160 Welcome to Send Me On My Way. 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,480 I'm your host, Audrey Dean Kelly. 3 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:07,520 And on this podcast, we're gonna talk about everything 4 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,000 from music to pop culture to reality TV 5 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,520 to pretty much whatever I want. 6 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:14,760 So let's get into it. 7 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,600 Welcome to the Sabrina Carpenter episode, y'all. 8 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:23,080 I am coming off quite a high from last night. 9 00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:26,720 I went to the Sabrina Carpenter show at Barclays 10 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:31,000 and I got tickets very, very, very last minute. 11 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,640 I mean, the show, it said it started at seven. 12 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,800 Guys, I was like in my apartment at 6.30 13 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,520 with like three different tabs open on Vivid Seeds 14 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,680 and Ticketmaster and whatever, 15 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,480 watching for the pit tickets 16 00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:48,120 to see if they'd go down to a price 17 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,200 that I was willing to splurge on. 18 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,440 Because I am someone that historically, 19 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,640 I've always loved outdoor concerts 20 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,640 because I really don't like being combined to a seat 21 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,480 when I'm watching a music. 22 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:03,280 I just don't. 23 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:04,480 I like to move around. 24 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:05,960 I like to dance. 25 00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:10,280 And I have struggled historically 26 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,560 to get into shows in the same way 27 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,920 when I'm confined to a seat in a stadium setting. 28 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,240 So I'm like watching these ticket prices last night 29 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:25,240 and like at first they were like, 30 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,360 I don't know, $1,000 when I was first looking 31 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,320 and the tickets for a section in the nosebleeds 32 00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:33,680 were all like 500. 33 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,920 And so I was not gonna pay $500 to sit in a seat, 34 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,920 but I knew that the prices were gonna go down 35 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,360 because there were a lot of tickets listed. 36 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,480 So if you guys are on the fence, 37 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,760 I do recommend this strategy. 38 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,600 So yeah, I had like three different tabs open 39 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:54,600 and finally one of the pit tickets came up for like 600 bucks. 40 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,760 It was like maybe $100 more than a ticket in the nosebleeds. 41 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,560 And so your girl hopped on it. 42 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,680 I was a little bit nervous that it was gonna be a scam, 43 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:08,560 but it was not. 44 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,080 And yeah, thank God I had started to do my hair earlier 45 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,400 because I kind of got it in my mind earlier in the day. 46 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,400 I was like, you have to go. 47 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,360 You know, I have missed out on a lot of concerts 48 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,240 over the years that I wish I would have gone to. 49 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:28,240 And I need to make a pledge to go to more. 50 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:33,240 And last night definitely restored my faith in live music. 51 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:34,960 Not that it needed to be restored, 52 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,440 but my God in pop music performance, 53 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,560 it was just incredible. 54 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:42,760 But yeah, to back it up, 55 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,320 I basically booked those tickets very last minute, 56 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:47,920 hopped in a cab. 57 00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:52,120 Your girl wore a little machino vintage sweater 58 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,600 that I got from my aunt. 59 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:58,600 And a little French lingerie type top. 60 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,760 And some skinny jeans. 61 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,120 I definitely was, you know, 62 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,800 it was stuck out as a millennial in the crowd. 63 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,040 Not gonna lie, I was one of the older ones in the pit. 64 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,120 I am a pop girly princess at heart 65 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,240 and I always will be. 66 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,920 But yeah, got there. 67 00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:21,520 And honestly, I could have waited later. 68 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,400 And I kind of wonder how to waited like an hour later 69 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,320 if I would have gotten a pit ticket for like 300 bucks. 70 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,080 I should have like looked at the prices once I got there. 71 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:36,080 But yeah, hopped in a cab and got there 72 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,160 probably an hour and a half before she started performing. 73 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:46,160 I made the strategic move to get as close as I could 74 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,800 to the heart because when I got to the pit, 75 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,240 there were maybe like two layers of girls 76 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,800 in front of the area where the heart is. 77 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,800 And then everybody was crowded around the very front 78 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,120 of the stage, but I had seen on TikTok 79 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,720 that the night before she spends a lot of time at the heart. 80 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,000 And let me tell you, she does. 81 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,320 So if you're going to the other shows 82 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,080 and not a lot of people around that area, I recommend it 83 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,840 because you still get a really good view of everything else. 84 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,520 And I will say it was tough for me to see 85 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,880 the bed cam performance. 86 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,400 She had those up on the monitors. 87 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,400 And I think it would have been hard for anybody to see it 88 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,560 because it has the curtains around that part of the set. 89 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,760 She came on, I think around nine o'clock. 90 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,760 And I won't lie, there were these very young girls next to me, 91 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,480 I think probably in high school. 92 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:42,400 And they were, first of all, everybody was dressed so cute. 93 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,360 And had I planned this more in advance, 94 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,240 I would have dressed a little bit more the part, 95 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,800 but everybody had on the little nighties 96 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,800 and like everybody's commitment to the costume was incredible. 97 00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:00,880 But the, and the girls next to me were dressed super cute 98 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,520 and they were in platforms. 99 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,320 And so their feet were killing them 100 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,360 because we were waiting there. 101 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,200 I feel like the opener wrapped up, 102 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,520 I feel like around eight o'clock. 103 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,440 And she went on closer to nine. 104 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,080 But these little girls who were complaining, 105 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,440 they were like, it's so rude to your fans to go on late. 106 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,880 And guys, this was like five minutes after 8.30. 107 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,860 And I was just sitting there and like, 108 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,640 just kind of rolling my eyes because I'm like, 109 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,160 I know your daddy bought you these tickets 110 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,800 and she's five minutes late, calm the fuck down. 111 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,080 But alas, once she went on, first of all, 112 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,400 the intro videos are incredible. 113 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,480 I have to say, nobody is making music videos 114 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,740 as well as Sabrina Carpenter is these days. 115 00:05:53,740 --> 00:05:56,920 She has brought back a level of artistry 116 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,960 into music videos that was missing. 117 00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:04,080 And it's also that same vibe, 118 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,520 this old Hollywood kind of movie set. 119 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:12,520 And she's really playing on her history as an actress. 120 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,920 And I think it's really a smart move 121 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,120 because one of the most interesting things 122 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:24,120 that I find about Sabrina Carpenter's vocal performances 123 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,380 is she is such a good actress. 124 00:06:28,380 --> 00:06:33,380 And it really carries through in her vocal performance, 125 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:35,840 if that makes sense. 126 00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:37,560 And I think it does. 127 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,880 I think it's the affectations that she does. 128 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:45,640 She's just, she has one of the most interesting voices 129 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,720 and with so many different layers that I've ever heard. 130 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,680 And she has a long history in the game. 131 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:58,680 I mean, she was doing voiceover work on cartoons 132 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,800 really early. 133 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,240 I'm talking, God, she was born in 99. 134 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:09,240 I think as of 2011, she was doing acting and voiceover work. 135 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:14,920 And I think that really plays into her vocal talents 136 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:18,380 as a performer. 137 00:07:18,380 --> 00:07:23,680 I just think there's nobody making pop music. 138 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:24,800 No, I'm not gonna say that, 139 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,640 but she is making a very special type of pop music. 140 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:33,640 And I think it's the way that she's incorporated her acting 141 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,520 and that history into this and also her personal life. 142 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,640 I mean, all of it is just so old Hollywood and so drama. 143 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,040 It's just so good. 144 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:49,040 I mean, the music video with Barry Keegan was incredible. 145 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,600 I mean, all of her music videos are just espresso. 146 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:53,720 They're iconic. 147 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:58,000 And that carried over into her live performances. 148 00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:58,840 I mean, first of all, 149 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,640 she carried over the costumes were incredible. 150 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,640 I am only gonna touch on the hair for a little bit 151 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,880 because I am doing an entire hair theory episode. 152 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,700 So I'm gonna wait to talk about her hair for that episode 153 00:08:12,700 --> 00:08:16,280 when I have my best friend and hairdresser Jenna on 154 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,880 because we're gonna dive into all of that. 155 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,000 But I will say the hair worked hard. 156 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,400 It was incredible. 157 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,600 And Kudos to whoever did her hair 158 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,200 because she worked her little ass off. 159 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,960 And at the end of, I don't know how ever long she was on, 160 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,520 but the hair was perfect. 161 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,240 And like, it wasn't like she had these wet sloppies. 162 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:42,480 She looked phenomenal. 163 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:43,560 She really did. 164 00:08:43,560 --> 00:08:45,520 She sounded phenomenal. 165 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,600 And I was really surprised with the songs 166 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,320 that I loved the most live. 167 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,240 I mean, look, I loved the classics. 168 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:55,520 I loved Please, Please, Please. 169 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,040 I loved all of the espresso and the dancey ones. 170 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,700 Don't get me wrong, those were incredible. 171 00:09:00,700 --> 00:09:03,280 But some of my favorite parts of the night 172 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,060 were more of the acoustic performances. 173 00:09:07,060 --> 00:09:12,060 Okay, so Coincidence was probably one of my favorites 174 00:09:14,180 --> 00:09:16,780 because she came out onto the heart. 175 00:09:16,780 --> 00:09:18,420 She reminded me of Stevie Nicks 176 00:09:18,420 --> 00:09:21,120 when she was performing it, to be honest with you. 177 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:26,120 And it just, I mean, granted, I was really, really close. 178 00:09:27,300 --> 00:09:28,660 It felt intimate to me, 179 00:09:28,660 --> 00:09:32,060 but it felt really intimate in a massive setting. 180 00:09:32,060 --> 00:09:33,980 That was one of my favorites. 181 00:09:33,980 --> 00:09:37,740 I also loved Sharpest Tool. 182 00:09:37,740 --> 00:09:40,220 I think I'm right that this is the one that she performed 183 00:09:40,220 --> 00:09:41,860 when she was on the toilet. 184 00:09:41,860 --> 00:09:43,640 Yes, it was. 185 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,140 I wanna talk about that whole setup 186 00:09:46,140 --> 00:09:49,740 because first of all, she goes up 187 00:09:49,740 --> 00:09:51,780 and she's like, I need to go use the toilet. 188 00:09:51,780 --> 00:09:53,700 The set, we're gonna get to it, 189 00:09:53,700 --> 00:09:56,780 but the set is basically like a Barbie dream house 190 00:09:56,780 --> 00:10:00,540 for Sabrina Carpenter that feels like an I Love Lucy set 191 00:10:00,540 --> 00:10:03,060 meets like the Austin Powers Fembots. 192 00:10:03,060 --> 00:10:07,700 And it's just, I mean, it's everything, it's everything. 193 00:10:07,700 --> 00:10:08,580 It's incredible. 194 00:10:08,580 --> 00:10:12,220 And honestly, I'm not gonna lie, watching this 195 00:10:12,220 --> 00:10:17,100 made me realize that like what I do right now, 196 00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:20,900 maybe I could parlay that eventually into set design 197 00:10:20,900 --> 00:10:25,140 because I think they could maybe work together. 198 00:10:25,140 --> 00:10:26,980 But I was really inspired by the set. 199 00:10:26,980 --> 00:10:30,220 But I wanna talk about specifically Sharpest Tool 200 00:10:30,220 --> 00:10:33,580 because that was one of my favorite moments of the night 201 00:10:33,580 --> 00:10:37,980 and she performed it on the toilet, which was incredible. 202 00:10:37,980 --> 00:10:40,900 But I wanna talk about the screens that they set up. 203 00:10:40,900 --> 00:10:45,340 So you had her face projected, you see her on the toilet 204 00:10:45,340 --> 00:10:47,360 and then you also had her face projected 205 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,580 on the outside of these screens. 206 00:10:50,580 --> 00:10:54,580 And it just, it was so well done. 207 00:10:54,580 --> 00:10:58,460 And part of why it was so well done is because 208 00:10:58,460 --> 00:11:03,460 you really saw how she acts out these songs. 209 00:11:03,740 --> 00:11:08,020 She feels, I mean, I don't even wanna call it 210 00:11:08,020 --> 00:11:09,500 acting necessarily. 211 00:11:09,500 --> 00:11:12,980 Like she's feeling it and the performance she's delivering, 212 00:11:12,980 --> 00:11:15,940 you see it all over her face. 213 00:11:15,940 --> 00:11:20,940 You, it's just, it gives so many levels of depth 214 00:11:22,100 --> 00:11:25,100 when you watch her perform. 215 00:11:25,100 --> 00:11:29,100 And that song specifically, watching her face 216 00:11:29,100 --> 00:11:31,540 and watching her work through that performance 217 00:11:31,540 --> 00:11:34,900 was so honest, so vulnerable, so raw. 218 00:11:34,900 --> 00:11:36,580 It was really moving. 219 00:11:36,580 --> 00:11:39,700 Yeah, it was a lot of those more acoustic songs. 220 00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:42,540 Now I'm trying to remember which one was the song 221 00:11:42,540 --> 00:11:44,060 that she sang. 222 00:11:44,060 --> 00:11:46,980 Hold on, I need to pivot to this. 223 00:11:46,980 --> 00:11:49,940 Not coincidence, the prices. 224 00:11:49,940 --> 00:11:52,540 I think it was Dumb and Poetic. 225 00:11:52,540 --> 00:11:53,740 Yes. 226 00:11:53,740 --> 00:11:56,540 Dumb and Poetic was, 227 00:11:58,860 --> 00:12:03,500 I mean, that was one of the best performances 228 00:12:03,500 --> 00:12:04,820 I've ever seen. 229 00:12:04,820 --> 00:12:07,460 It was, that was one of my favorites. 230 00:12:07,460 --> 00:12:09,980 Dumb and Poetic was one of my favorites. 231 00:12:09,980 --> 00:12:13,540 Lida Girls was also incredible. 232 00:12:13,540 --> 00:12:14,460 I need to look back. 233 00:12:14,460 --> 00:12:16,100 I feel like Lida Girls was the one 234 00:12:16,100 --> 00:12:18,260 that she was playing guitar on. 235 00:12:18,260 --> 00:12:20,540 And I also didn't realize that she played guitar. 236 00:12:20,540 --> 00:12:23,380 I mean, I guess obviously she can play guitar. 237 00:12:23,380 --> 00:12:24,540 It was amazing. 238 00:12:24,540 --> 00:12:27,180 Juno also was one of my favorites 239 00:12:27,180 --> 00:12:29,700 and partially because I was right in front of the heart. 240 00:12:29,700 --> 00:12:33,220 She runs out to the heart and she does her whole little, 241 00:12:33,220 --> 00:12:34,460 did you ever try this one? 242 00:12:34,460 --> 00:12:35,700 I knew she was gonna do that 243 00:12:35,700 --> 00:12:37,740 because I watched the MSG TikToks. 244 00:12:37,740 --> 00:12:39,500 So I got there on purpose. 245 00:12:41,060 --> 00:12:43,300 But she does this thing where she makes everybody 246 00:12:43,300 --> 00:12:44,700 get down on the ground. 247 00:12:45,740 --> 00:12:48,420 I did feel my age because I was wearing skinny jeans 248 00:12:48,420 --> 00:12:51,740 and I was wearing my pre-baby-sized skinny jeans 249 00:12:51,740 --> 00:12:55,580 that I poured myself into. 250 00:12:55,580 --> 00:12:58,860 And it was hard for mama to get down on her knees, 251 00:12:58,860 --> 00:13:00,020 not gonna lie. 252 00:13:00,020 --> 00:13:03,620 But I did and she raises up on the heart 253 00:13:03,620 --> 00:13:07,340 and it's just, it's such a party. 254 00:13:07,340 --> 00:13:09,620 I love that song so much, honestly. 255 00:13:09,620 --> 00:13:14,260 And that gets me to the part that I wanna talk about, 256 00:13:14,260 --> 00:13:15,260 about Sabrina Carpenter. 257 00:13:15,260 --> 00:13:17,740 I've been wanting to do an episode on Sabrina Carpenter 258 00:13:17,740 --> 00:13:21,180 already because I have so many feelings about her music 259 00:13:21,180 --> 00:13:23,180 and her type of pop music 260 00:13:23,180 --> 00:13:26,900 and what it means as a female artist 261 00:13:26,900 --> 00:13:30,860 and kind of the boundaries that she's pushing 262 00:13:30,860 --> 00:13:35,860 and that just the way that they are making this like clever, 263 00:13:38,020 --> 00:13:43,020 sexual, it's just, the writing is just so incredible. 264 00:13:44,380 --> 00:13:46,940 And I think that I would be remiss 265 00:13:46,940 --> 00:13:50,260 to not mention Amy Allen 266 00:13:50,260 --> 00:13:55,260 and some of the other songwriters that worked on Short and Sweep. 267 00:13:55,980 --> 00:13:58,380 But specifically, I wanna hone in on Amy Allen 268 00:13:58,380 --> 00:14:03,380 because first of all, her music in its own right is incredible. 269 00:14:04,140 --> 00:14:06,220 So you should go check her out, 270 00:14:06,220 --> 00:14:09,140 Queen of Silver Linings, amazing song, 271 00:14:09,140 --> 00:14:12,100 Girl with a Problem I Really Love, Reason to Forgive. 272 00:14:13,020 --> 00:14:15,460 But what's interesting is go listen to her 273 00:14:15,460 --> 00:14:19,980 because I think you'll hear some of the folky 274 00:14:19,980 --> 00:14:23,100 stylings that I think come through 275 00:14:23,100 --> 00:14:25,300 in Sabrina Carpenter's music. 276 00:14:25,300 --> 00:14:30,140 I feel like we're getting that through this Amy Adams 277 00:14:30,140 --> 00:14:35,020 writing partnership, but on a deeper level, 278 00:14:35,020 --> 00:14:37,940 I think you should look back on how long 279 00:14:37,940 --> 00:14:40,380 Amy Allen has been working with Sabrina Carpenter 280 00:14:40,380 --> 00:14:42,740 because I think that there is something, 281 00:14:42,740 --> 00:14:47,140 I think the reason why the writing on Short and Sweep 282 00:14:47,140 --> 00:14:51,780 was as phenomenal as it is 283 00:14:51,780 --> 00:14:56,780 is because of Amy Allen and Sabrina Carpenter's 284 00:14:57,300 --> 00:14:59,100 writing together. 285 00:14:59,100 --> 00:15:01,740 They write on every, Amy Allen and Carpenter 286 00:15:01,740 --> 00:15:04,700 write on every single song of the album. 287 00:15:04,700 --> 00:15:06,260 They are the only consistent two 288 00:15:06,260 --> 00:15:08,740 that are on every single song of the album. 289 00:15:08,740 --> 00:15:10,540 Some of them are with Jack Antonoff, 290 00:15:10,540 --> 00:15:13,540 some of them are with Ryan Kirkpatrick. 291 00:15:13,540 --> 00:15:17,220 Basically, Amy Allen and Sabrina Carpenter 292 00:15:17,220 --> 00:15:21,220 have been working together, I think since like 20, 293 00:15:21,220 --> 00:15:23,500 when I looked back, they have been working together 294 00:15:23,500 --> 00:15:28,700 since like 2022, which the album was released in 2022. 295 00:15:28,700 --> 00:15:32,660 So odds are they've worked together since like 21, 296 00:15:32,660 --> 00:15:35,900 but Amy Allen has worked with a lot of artists. 297 00:15:35,900 --> 00:15:39,740 I mean, she was the one who wrote Greedy by Tate McCray. 298 00:15:39,740 --> 00:15:40,580 Just go look her up. 299 00:15:40,580 --> 00:15:41,860 She's written a bunch. 300 00:15:41,860 --> 00:15:44,820 She wrote for Harry Styles. 301 00:15:44,820 --> 00:15:47,180 I think that song Adore Me, Adore You. 302 00:15:48,300 --> 00:15:50,300 I'm not sure, but she's really talented. 303 00:15:50,300 --> 00:15:52,740 And what I wanna get back to is 304 00:15:54,420 --> 00:15:57,900 co-writing can be really, really special. 305 00:15:59,140 --> 00:16:03,380 And especially when you give it the space to grow together. 306 00:16:03,380 --> 00:16:07,620 I mean, look, that's what we saw with Lenin and McCartney. 307 00:16:07,620 --> 00:16:12,420 You see the longer that you write with someone 308 00:16:12,420 --> 00:16:14,540 and when you have that kind of friendship, 309 00:16:14,540 --> 00:16:19,540 and I think to be able to write this kind of music, 310 00:16:19,660 --> 00:16:23,620 I think you have to have a really safe, funny, 311 00:16:23,620 --> 00:16:26,900 kind of friendly, like it feels like songs 312 00:16:26,900 --> 00:16:28,940 that were written with your best friend. 313 00:16:28,940 --> 00:16:31,820 Well, you guys were just like messing around, 314 00:16:31,820 --> 00:16:34,340 talking about the boys that broke your heart. 315 00:16:34,340 --> 00:16:35,380 It feels like that. 316 00:16:35,380 --> 00:16:37,500 And that's why we love it. 317 00:16:37,500 --> 00:16:39,500 That's why it's giving such like, 318 00:16:39,500 --> 00:16:41,780 I mean, people say this album is like 319 00:16:41,780 --> 00:16:44,140 the ultimate ovulation album. 320 00:16:44,140 --> 00:16:46,540 It is, it is. 321 00:16:46,540 --> 00:16:49,340 I mean, Juno is the ultimate ovulation song, 322 00:16:49,340 --> 00:16:52,060 but like the whole album. 323 00:16:52,060 --> 00:16:56,780 And I feel like it's this magic of the two of them. 324 00:16:57,700 --> 00:16:58,900 It really is. 325 00:16:58,900 --> 00:17:01,700 And I just wanna make it clear. 326 00:17:01,700 --> 00:17:05,260 Sabrina Carpenter is an incredible songwriter. 327 00:17:05,260 --> 00:17:09,100 I mean, she's the, and especially the last album too. 328 00:17:09,100 --> 00:17:12,060 I mean, Feather, Nonsense, like, 329 00:17:12,060 --> 00:17:14,420 and she, I will say, I was really happy. 330 00:17:14,420 --> 00:17:18,300 She played quite a few of the older songs too. 331 00:17:18,300 --> 00:17:20,060 She played quite a few. 332 00:17:20,060 --> 00:17:23,460 She also played the bonus tracks 333 00:17:23,460 --> 00:17:26,260 and a new track called Busy Woman, 334 00:17:26,260 --> 00:17:30,140 which I get all my music on Spotify. 335 00:17:30,140 --> 00:17:33,340 So I guess I need to buy the album to get the bonus track. 336 00:17:33,340 --> 00:17:36,740 So after last night, I will go do that. 337 00:17:36,740 --> 00:17:38,780 Okay, to get back to the concert, 338 00:17:38,780 --> 00:17:39,900 I might be all over the place, 339 00:17:39,900 --> 00:17:42,700 but yeah, to get back to the concert, 340 00:17:42,700 --> 00:17:44,460 I got there early. 341 00:17:44,460 --> 00:17:47,420 I specifically did not drink 342 00:17:47,420 --> 00:17:50,260 because when I got my spot, I was like, 343 00:17:50,260 --> 00:17:51,900 Jesus, this is such a good spot. 344 00:17:51,900 --> 00:17:54,260 I'm gonna be right in front of the stage. 345 00:17:54,260 --> 00:17:58,100 And if I start drinking, I'm gonna have to go to the bathroom. 346 00:17:58,100 --> 00:18:01,100 And if I don't drink, then I can stay here 347 00:18:01,100 --> 00:18:02,380 and I can watch the whole thing. 348 00:18:02,380 --> 00:18:03,420 And that is what I did. 349 00:18:03,420 --> 00:18:07,340 And I historically have not done that at shows normally. 350 00:18:07,340 --> 00:18:11,580 I am drinking beers and I'm having to miss songs 351 00:18:11,580 --> 00:18:12,660 to go to the bathroom. 352 00:18:12,660 --> 00:18:14,380 And then I'm having to wait back through the crowd 353 00:18:14,380 --> 00:18:15,740 and lose my spot. 354 00:18:15,740 --> 00:18:17,900 So let me tell you, it was a lot of fun. 355 00:18:17,900 --> 00:18:21,260 And I think this is the first show 356 00:18:21,260 --> 00:18:24,300 I've ever gone to on my own. 357 00:18:24,300 --> 00:18:27,540 I might just start doing that exclusively from now on. 358 00:18:27,540 --> 00:18:28,940 And here is why. 359 00:18:28,940 --> 00:18:33,580 And I did notice this somewhat in the crowd 360 00:18:33,580 --> 00:18:35,980 when I saw some of the groups of girls together. 361 00:18:35,980 --> 00:18:39,900 Sometimes if I go with the wrong people to concerts 362 00:18:39,900 --> 00:18:41,580 that are kind of like, 363 00:18:41,580 --> 00:18:45,420 sometimes when people are too self aware at concerts, 364 00:18:45,420 --> 00:18:47,980 it gets in the way of them having fun. 365 00:18:47,980 --> 00:18:50,420 I mean, I feel like that's a general rule in life. 366 00:18:50,420 --> 00:18:51,900 If you're too self-conscious, 367 00:18:51,900 --> 00:18:53,380 you haven't let your guard down 368 00:18:53,380 --> 00:18:55,460 and you're not gonna have as much fun. 369 00:18:55,460 --> 00:18:57,740 I mean, that's why a lot of people do drugs at concerts 370 00:18:57,740 --> 00:18:59,700 so they can let their guard down, 371 00:18:59,700 --> 00:19:02,220 have fun, let loose and dance. 372 00:19:02,220 --> 00:19:05,940 So for me to be sober at this concert 373 00:19:05,940 --> 00:19:08,940 and totally be able to let loose 374 00:19:08,940 --> 00:19:11,660 because I didn't know any of the people around me. 375 00:19:11,660 --> 00:19:13,100 I didn't give a shit. 376 00:19:13,100 --> 00:19:14,820 I was dancing my ass off. 377 00:19:14,820 --> 00:19:17,700 I was singing my little heart out. 378 00:19:17,700 --> 00:19:20,220 And I was able to really get into it 379 00:19:20,220 --> 00:19:23,860 because I didn't care what anybody around me thought. 380 00:19:23,860 --> 00:19:28,300 And I didn't necessarily feel that 381 00:19:28,300 --> 00:19:29,700 all the time from the people around me. 382 00:19:29,700 --> 00:19:34,140 I felt like a lot of girls were like checking 383 00:19:34,140 --> 00:19:37,500 their makeup and like, I don't know, 384 00:19:37,500 --> 00:19:41,540 in some songs, in the popular songs, 385 00:19:41,540 --> 00:19:43,420 sure they were singing along, 386 00:19:43,420 --> 00:19:48,420 but I do think that's something that people can get 387 00:19:49,580 --> 00:19:52,940 in the way of a live performance 388 00:19:52,940 --> 00:19:54,900 for experience for yourself 389 00:19:54,900 --> 00:19:58,180 if you're not able to just let your own guard down 390 00:19:58,180 --> 00:19:59,140 and enjoy it. 391 00:19:59,140 --> 00:20:01,540 So me going by myself allowed me 392 00:20:01,540 --> 00:20:05,620 to just fully let my guard down, fully enjoy it. 393 00:20:05,620 --> 00:20:08,220 I mean, I felt like my inner child was let out. 394 00:20:08,220 --> 00:20:12,860 It was like the young Spice Girls fan, Audrey, 395 00:20:12,860 --> 00:20:15,900 got to go see Sabrina Carpenter. 396 00:20:15,900 --> 00:20:18,740 She's one of my favorite New Pop stars of all time. 397 00:20:18,740 --> 00:20:22,500 I mean, she's like for sure after last night. 398 00:20:24,340 --> 00:20:26,460 Maybe my favorite of all time. 399 00:20:26,460 --> 00:20:29,900 I, she really, she's something else. 400 00:20:29,900 --> 00:20:30,780 She really is. 401 00:20:30,780 --> 00:20:32,740 I could go on for a long time, 402 00:20:32,740 --> 00:20:34,980 but her dancing skills are incredible. 403 00:20:34,980 --> 00:20:36,740 She's so polished. 404 00:20:36,740 --> 00:20:39,820 Her vocals are impeccable. 405 00:20:39,820 --> 00:20:41,860 Really, really strong vocals. 406 00:20:41,860 --> 00:20:46,860 And just a really confident, flirty, fun, emotional. 407 00:20:46,860 --> 00:20:50,820 It just, there were so many different emotions. 408 00:20:50,820 --> 00:20:54,740 Look, I think, and I hope, 409 00:20:54,740 --> 00:20:57,380 I mean, we get more acting out of her. 410 00:20:57,380 --> 00:21:00,500 I think it would be a disservice 411 00:21:00,500 --> 00:21:05,500 to only have her be a pop star for the rest of her life 412 00:21:05,580 --> 00:21:08,180 because this girl has acting chops 413 00:21:08,180 --> 00:21:10,940 and it comes through so clearly in her pop music. 414 00:21:10,940 --> 00:21:13,460 And I'm super excited for her Netflix special 415 00:21:13,460 --> 00:21:17,020 because I hope they kind of showcase that. 416 00:21:17,020 --> 00:21:21,540 And I hope that we see her getting bigger roles 417 00:21:21,540 --> 00:21:26,540 that I really think after seeing her level of performance, 418 00:21:27,300 --> 00:21:29,980 I don't think, I kind of want to go back now 419 00:21:29,980 --> 00:21:33,380 and watch Boy Meets, Girl Meets World, 420 00:21:33,380 --> 00:21:34,940 but I was just too old for it. 421 00:21:34,940 --> 00:21:39,140 So, you know, guys, I was born in 87, she was born in 99. 422 00:21:39,140 --> 00:21:40,580 I've been a little too old for it, 423 00:21:40,580 --> 00:21:45,580 but I want to go back to the, just how polished she was 424 00:21:46,460 --> 00:21:51,460 because it goes back to how long she has been working at this. 425 00:21:51,940 --> 00:21:56,940 And I think that she is handling this meteoric, 426 00:21:58,820 --> 00:22:01,020 look, she had a huge summer too, 427 00:22:01,020 --> 00:22:03,260 Chapel Roan also had a huge summer. 428 00:22:03,260 --> 00:22:06,460 They both had meteoric success. 429 00:22:06,460 --> 00:22:11,460 However, Sabrina Carpenter is, she's been famous 430 00:22:11,900 --> 00:22:16,380 for a lot longer, she's been in this game on a, you know, 431 00:22:16,380 --> 00:22:20,740 maybe not in a household name level, but I mean, 432 00:22:20,740 --> 00:22:22,460 I really am not sure. 433 00:22:22,460 --> 00:22:25,140 I think for Gen Z, maybe she has been a household name 434 00:22:25,140 --> 00:22:27,260 and maybe I'm just too old to have known about her 435 00:22:27,260 --> 00:22:28,100 until this summer. 436 00:22:28,100 --> 00:22:30,380 I think that's probably possible. 437 00:22:30,380 --> 00:22:35,100 So maybe I'm late to the game, I probably am, 438 00:22:35,100 --> 00:22:39,180 but she has been working at this for a long time. 439 00:22:39,180 --> 00:22:40,300 I talked about it earlier. 440 00:22:40,300 --> 00:22:41,780 She's done a lot of voiceover work. 441 00:22:41,780 --> 00:22:46,100 She's done just, she's been hustling and you see that. 442 00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:48,540 I mean, go look at her IMDB. 443 00:22:48,540 --> 00:22:53,540 She is a hardworking industry girl and it shows, 444 00:22:54,380 --> 00:22:55,500 it really does. 445 00:22:55,500 --> 00:23:00,500 And yeah, I just, I'm so happy that I went really, 446 00:23:00,500 --> 00:23:05,500 it was such a last minute splurge, but this is your sign. 447 00:23:09,140 --> 00:23:11,420 If she's coming to your town, go. 448 00:23:11,420 --> 00:23:14,460 If you have the flexibility, like I did, 449 00:23:14,460 --> 00:23:16,420 wait until the very last second 450 00:23:16,420 --> 00:23:18,580 and see if you can get your tickets 451 00:23:19,540 --> 00:23:21,420 when they go down lower. 452 00:23:21,420 --> 00:23:24,900 Now, there is another thing that we need to talk about, 453 00:23:24,900 --> 00:23:27,740 which is at MSG the night before, 454 00:23:27,740 --> 00:23:31,620 Sabrina Carpenter alluded to, what did she say? 455 00:23:31,620 --> 00:23:35,540 She said, should we talk about how I got the mayor indicted? 456 00:23:37,060 --> 00:23:41,180 So this was news to me, but apparently 457 00:23:41,180 --> 00:23:42,820 for those of you who did not know this, 458 00:23:42,820 --> 00:23:46,460 Sabrina Carpenter's music video for Feather 459 00:23:46,460 --> 00:23:51,460 was filmed at a Catholic church in Brooklyn. 460 00:23:51,620 --> 00:23:56,300 This guy, I'm sorry, I'm just gonna call him Monsignor, 461 00:23:56,300 --> 00:23:57,460 Monsignor Jamie. 462 00:23:57,460 --> 00:23:59,420 I'm not gonna try to pronounce this last name. 463 00:23:59,420 --> 00:24:00,580 I can't. 464 00:24:00,580 --> 00:24:03,260 But basically Monsignor Jamie 465 00:24:03,260 --> 00:24:05,540 granted her permission to do this. 466 00:24:05,540 --> 00:24:07,860 And that really ruffled, 467 00:24:07,860 --> 00:24:10,020 cause like if you've seen the Feather music video, 468 00:24:10,020 --> 00:24:13,820 it's a very sexual music video filmed in the Catholic church. 469 00:24:13,820 --> 00:24:18,020 And basically the diocese of Brooklyn had a problem with it 470 00:24:18,020 --> 00:24:22,100 and the bishop basically opened a probe 471 00:24:22,100 --> 00:24:25,900 into the dealings of that Monsignor Jamie. 472 00:24:25,900 --> 00:24:29,380 And through that probe, through this probe, 473 00:24:30,300 --> 00:24:35,300 it led to this guy, Frank Carone, being investigated. 474 00:24:35,740 --> 00:24:38,300 And that is Eric Adams, chief of staff. 475 00:24:38,300 --> 00:24:43,140 And that is how basically Sabrina Carpenter's music video 476 00:24:43,140 --> 00:24:47,740 led to a knock on effect where Eric Adams got indicted. 477 00:24:47,740 --> 00:24:50,780 So crazy, small world. 478 00:24:50,780 --> 00:24:53,580 But yeah, she brought the house down 479 00:24:53,580 --> 00:24:58,580 and the set was just, it was incredible. 480 00:24:58,860 --> 00:25:01,780 It was like a Sabrina dream house. 481 00:25:01,780 --> 00:25:04,900 My friend lives in LA and invited me to go with her 482 00:25:04,900 --> 00:25:06,780 to the ones there. 483 00:25:06,780 --> 00:25:09,620 I would honestly go see her again, she was that good. 484 00:25:09,620 --> 00:25:12,140 So that says a lot. 485 00:25:12,140 --> 00:25:15,540 The costumes though, the costumes definitely 486 00:25:15,540 --> 00:25:19,100 recalled her, the taste music video. 487 00:25:19,100 --> 00:25:23,820 Like I loved this like cat suit that she had. 488 00:25:23,820 --> 00:25:26,500 The hair had its own performance 489 00:25:26,500 --> 00:25:31,180 and we will get into that on the hair theory episode. 490 00:25:31,180 --> 00:25:36,180 But all in all, I think she's one of the greatest pop stars 491 00:25:37,500 --> 00:25:39,340 we have ever seen. 492 00:25:39,340 --> 00:25:44,340 And I am so excited for what's to come next. 493 00:25:44,500 --> 00:25:48,660 And I am excited to see what comes out of her 494 00:25:48,660 --> 00:25:50,220 and Amy Allen specifically. 495 00:25:50,220 --> 00:25:53,940 I just think they knocked this album out of the park. 496 00:25:53,940 --> 00:25:58,180 Jack Antonoff, specifically, God, what is that song 497 00:25:58,180 --> 00:26:00,700 that I'm so obsessed with on this album? 498 00:26:00,700 --> 00:26:04,020 The way that Antonoff produced Sharpest Tool 499 00:26:04,020 --> 00:26:07,460 and specifically the second verse of Sharpest Tool, 500 00:26:07,460 --> 00:26:10,820 he does this like underwater kind of effect. 501 00:26:10,820 --> 00:26:12,740 It's interesting, once you start to produce music, 502 00:26:12,740 --> 00:26:16,820 you listen to music in a, or maybe all of you 503 00:26:16,820 --> 00:26:18,100 listen to music this way, I don't know. 504 00:26:18,100 --> 00:26:22,660 But I listen to music in a more scientific way now. 505 00:26:22,660 --> 00:26:25,020 And the production on Sharpest Tool 506 00:26:25,020 --> 00:26:28,060 is probably one of my favorites on the album. 507 00:26:28,060 --> 00:26:31,620 And no wonder it was one of my favorites 508 00:26:31,620 --> 00:26:33,180 in the live performance. 509 00:26:33,180 --> 00:26:35,260 Yeah, Bed Chem was incredible. 510 00:26:35,260 --> 00:26:38,340 The way that the stage is set up, 511 00:26:39,180 --> 00:26:41,820 Bed Chem is completely closed off. 512 00:26:41,820 --> 00:26:45,780 You can see through these sheer scrims basically. 513 00:26:45,780 --> 00:26:47,900 To see the first part of the performance, 514 00:26:47,900 --> 00:26:49,300 you have to look up at the monitors 515 00:26:49,300 --> 00:26:51,820 because they're filming her from above. 516 00:26:51,820 --> 00:26:55,980 And I will say that does go back to this like Hollywood 517 00:26:55,980 --> 00:27:00,980 kind of voyeuristic movie production vibe. 518 00:27:01,300 --> 00:27:03,100 You get that from this set. 519 00:27:03,100 --> 00:27:06,220 It feels like an old Hollywood TV set. 520 00:27:06,220 --> 00:27:09,660 And the way that they film this, you feel that. 521 00:27:09,660 --> 00:27:11,580 It comes across in the live performance. 522 00:27:11,580 --> 00:27:15,460 Really interesting, but it was hard for me to see her 523 00:27:15,460 --> 00:27:18,060 from where I was at for that performance. 524 00:27:18,060 --> 00:27:22,300 But yeah, Good Graces was also a favorite. 525 00:27:22,300 --> 00:27:27,380 It brings me back to like middle school dances 526 00:27:27,380 --> 00:27:30,220 in like 99, which is interesting 527 00:27:30,220 --> 00:27:31,580 because that's the year that she was born. 528 00:27:31,580 --> 00:27:33,860 She is reminding me of music 529 00:27:33,860 --> 00:27:37,340 that is from that era of like R&B 530 00:27:37,340 --> 00:27:39,740 with those songs specifically. 531 00:27:39,740 --> 00:27:43,900 With Good Graces, Lie to Girls also is a favorite. 532 00:27:43,900 --> 00:27:46,500 And it also was one of my favorites live. 533 00:27:46,500 --> 00:27:49,020 That was the one that she was playing guitar on. 534 00:27:49,020 --> 00:27:53,660 But also Lie to Girls, again, Carpenter, Alan, Antonoff. 535 00:27:53,660 --> 00:27:56,580 I feel like some of my favorites 536 00:27:56,580 --> 00:27:59,420 are that combination on this album. 537 00:27:59,420 --> 00:28:01,060 So let's talk about those. 538 00:28:01,060 --> 00:28:05,940 Lie to Girls, Slim Pickens, Sharpest Tool. 539 00:28:06,940 --> 00:28:08,460 Please, please, please. 540 00:28:08,460 --> 00:28:13,460 All of those are the Jack Antonoff, Alan, 541 00:28:13,620 --> 00:28:17,620 and the new one, Busy Woman, which also, let's see. 542 00:28:17,620 --> 00:28:20,860 So, okay, so Taste is not Antonoff. 543 00:28:20,860 --> 00:28:22,860 So it's interesting when you look at this. 544 00:28:22,860 --> 00:28:24,460 I would be remiss to not mention, 545 00:28:24,460 --> 00:28:26,140 like Julia Michaels worked on this. 546 00:28:26,140 --> 00:28:30,020 She is one of the best songwriters in the industry. 547 00:28:30,020 --> 00:28:32,180 I'm not gonna pretend like I know these other people. 548 00:28:32,180 --> 00:28:35,020 Ryan, John Ryan, Ian Kropatric, 549 00:28:35,020 --> 00:28:37,460 I actually feel like I should know that name. 550 00:28:37,460 --> 00:28:40,140 It's really familiar, but alas. 551 00:28:41,380 --> 00:28:42,220 I don't. 552 00:28:44,220 --> 00:28:48,220 John Henry Ryan, producer from Rochester. 553 00:28:49,620 --> 00:28:51,300 Interesting, yeah. 554 00:28:52,340 --> 00:28:53,580 Well, I just have to say, 555 00:28:53,580 --> 00:28:56,100 I hope this album wins a lot of Grammys 556 00:28:56,100 --> 00:28:59,700 because I think it really deserves it. 557 00:28:59,700 --> 00:29:02,140 There's not a bad track on the album. 558 00:29:02,140 --> 00:29:05,580 And I have to say, that's music these days. 559 00:29:05,580 --> 00:29:09,580 You really have to release every track needs to be a banger. 560 00:29:09,580 --> 00:29:14,580 And like this, all 12 tracks, for sure, bangers. 561 00:29:15,020 --> 00:29:20,020 I am gonna go buy the vinyl today and the digital 562 00:29:20,020 --> 00:29:23,100 so that I can get these extra tracks 563 00:29:23,100 --> 00:29:25,660 that I did not know the words to last night. 564 00:29:25,660 --> 00:29:27,300 I felt a little embarrassed. 565 00:29:28,540 --> 00:29:31,820 But yeah, she's incredible. 566 00:29:31,820 --> 00:29:36,820 She's incredible and I will say, I didn't want to talk 567 00:29:36,820 --> 00:29:41,820 about this because it's the least interesting thing 568 00:29:42,340 --> 00:29:47,340 about her, but as I also am someone who is a niece 569 00:29:49,060 --> 00:29:54,060 of someone famous, Ms. Sabrina Carpenter is the niece 570 00:29:54,060 --> 00:29:59,060 of the woman who does the voice work for Bart Simpson. 571 00:29:59,060 --> 00:30:04,060 And I say that not because I want to label her 572 00:30:04,540 --> 00:30:09,020 as a nepo niece or nepo baby or whatever. 573 00:30:09,020 --> 00:30:12,860 I actually really don't think she is, 574 00:30:12,860 --> 00:30:17,260 but I think vocally knowing that, I think, okay, 575 00:30:17,260 --> 00:30:18,340 think about it. 576 00:30:18,340 --> 00:30:20,580 The vocal chops that you have to have 577 00:30:20,580 --> 00:30:23,300 to be the voice of Bart Simpson. 578 00:30:23,300 --> 00:30:25,580 And I think she voiceovers like many of the characters 579 00:30:25,580 --> 00:30:27,020 on the Simpsons. 580 00:30:27,020 --> 00:30:29,660 It is interesting to look at that 581 00:30:29,660 --> 00:30:33,940 and Sabrina Carpenter's voiceover background 582 00:30:33,940 --> 00:30:38,940 and how that has shaped her to be the phenomenal 583 00:30:39,300 --> 00:30:41,900 pop performer that she is. 584 00:30:41,900 --> 00:30:45,500 That is why I do think it's interesting to state, 585 00:30:45,500 --> 00:30:50,500 not because I'm saying that she got to where she is 586 00:30:51,220 --> 00:30:55,020 because she has a famous aunt, because FYI people, 587 00:30:55,020 --> 00:30:56,780 it just doesn't work that way. 588 00:30:56,780 --> 00:30:57,620 It doesn't. 589 00:30:57,620 --> 00:30:59,860 Yeah, there are doors that may open 590 00:30:59,860 --> 00:31:01,500 and there are introductions that are had, 591 00:31:01,500 --> 00:31:02,820 but if you don't have the chops 592 00:31:02,820 --> 00:31:03,940 and you don't have the talent 593 00:31:03,940 --> 00:31:07,940 and you don't have the work ethic, it doesn't matter. 594 00:31:07,940 --> 00:31:12,940 So I can't deny that you have experiences and rooms 595 00:31:15,620 --> 00:31:19,740 that you're in that you would never get to otherwise. 596 00:31:19,740 --> 00:31:24,020 But I don't know how much the voiceover actress 597 00:31:24,020 --> 00:31:26,980 from the Simpsons really opened. 598 00:31:26,980 --> 00:31:30,220 I don't wanna say that so much about Sabrina 599 00:31:30,220 --> 00:31:32,580 because I feel like it diminishes 600 00:31:32,580 --> 00:31:34,860 from how hard she's worked 601 00:31:34,860 --> 00:31:39,380 and it just gives people an excuse to label her 602 00:31:40,260 --> 00:31:45,100 in a way as if she doesn't deserve this talent, this fame. 603 00:31:45,100 --> 00:31:46,980 And she's very deserving of it. 604 00:31:46,980 --> 00:31:48,340 She's worked very hard. 605 00:31:48,340 --> 00:31:50,820 I love the old little YouTube videos of her 606 00:31:50,820 --> 00:31:55,020 when she's like 10 years old singing like Christina Aguilera 607 00:31:55,020 --> 00:31:58,140 covers, this girl has been working her little butt off. 608 00:31:58,140 --> 00:32:03,140 So it was just really emotional to see her in that setting. 609 00:32:04,420 --> 00:32:05,780 And I'm not gonna lie, 610 00:32:05,780 --> 00:32:09,060 the more I go to these massive concert settings, 611 00:32:09,060 --> 00:32:10,740 it reminds me of like, okay, look, 612 00:32:10,740 --> 00:32:14,780 one of my earlier concerts was like Britney Spears 613 00:32:14,780 --> 00:32:15,780 just to compare. 614 00:32:15,780 --> 00:32:18,260 And like, I remember watching Britney Spears, Young Girl 615 00:32:18,260 --> 00:32:23,260 and Britney Spears on stage felt so unattainable 616 00:32:25,020 --> 00:32:26,740 and so out of reach. 617 00:32:26,740 --> 00:32:29,580 And like the ultimate dream to me. 618 00:32:30,620 --> 00:32:31,860 And I wanted it. 619 00:32:31,860 --> 00:32:32,940 I wanted to be her. 620 00:32:32,940 --> 00:32:35,900 And it definitely set off a chain of events in my life 621 00:32:35,900 --> 00:32:38,940 to try to do that and write pop music and whatnot, 622 00:32:38,940 --> 00:32:41,060 but it felt very far off. 623 00:32:41,060 --> 00:32:45,380 And what I have been doing since being a musician, 624 00:32:45,380 --> 00:32:50,380 when I go to shows, I purposefully try to feel 625 00:32:50,980 --> 00:32:54,860 like I'm in their position and feel like 626 00:32:54,860 --> 00:32:59,180 what that would feel like and feel like I could do it. 627 00:33:00,900 --> 00:33:04,100 And look, the dancing chops now. 628 00:33:04,100 --> 00:33:06,260 I am a horrible dancer. 629 00:33:06,260 --> 00:33:09,380 I am like a lane level. 630 00:33:09,380 --> 00:33:12,060 I'm a Phoebe y'all, I really am. 631 00:33:12,060 --> 00:33:13,780 So I never will be a dancer, 632 00:33:13,780 --> 00:33:17,380 but like when I went to the John Mayer concert last, 633 00:33:17,380 --> 00:33:19,500 like I sat there and I was like, okay, 634 00:33:19,500 --> 00:33:22,140 I'm not saying that I could play a guitar like John Mayer 635 00:33:22,140 --> 00:33:25,580 right now, but if I work my ass off, maybe someday I can. 636 00:33:25,580 --> 00:33:28,140 But what I'm saying is when you have a dream like that, 637 00:33:28,140 --> 00:33:31,380 it's good to go to these experiences 638 00:33:31,380 --> 00:33:33,820 and especially to be that close, 639 00:33:33,820 --> 00:33:37,900 to kind of feel the energy. 640 00:33:37,900 --> 00:33:40,100 I'm a big believer of manifesting. 641 00:33:40,100 --> 00:33:44,420 So I definitely do that when I'm at these shows. 642 00:33:44,420 --> 00:33:47,860 Look, I am trying to get my music out there. 643 00:33:47,860 --> 00:33:51,500 I am going to be booking more live performances. 644 00:33:51,500 --> 00:33:53,060 And I'm doing that. 645 00:33:53,060 --> 00:33:58,060 So I'm polished enough that if my music ever does pop off, 646 00:33:58,340 --> 00:34:02,700 I will be ready to be on those big stages. 647 00:34:02,700 --> 00:34:06,380 Cause like that's the end game here. 648 00:34:06,380 --> 00:34:07,740 That's the goal. 649 00:34:07,740 --> 00:34:09,580 I mean, that's what drives all of this. 650 00:34:09,580 --> 00:34:12,100 Just so you know, I may be doing a podcast, 651 00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:16,580 but ultimately my ultimate dream is still to be 652 00:34:16,580 --> 00:34:20,900 headlining MSG and making music for a living. 653 00:34:20,900 --> 00:34:23,900 And I mean, I am loving this podcast too. 654 00:34:23,900 --> 00:34:26,020 So potentially always do that as well. 655 00:34:26,020 --> 00:34:30,020 But that is and has always been the goal. 656 00:34:30,020 --> 00:34:35,020 So it was just good to get out and see one of my 657 00:34:35,020 --> 00:34:39,380 newest favorite idols just bring down the house 658 00:34:39,380 --> 00:34:40,300 in Brooklyn. 659 00:34:40,300 --> 00:34:43,660 And as Brooklyn was the place where I got my start 660 00:34:43,660 --> 00:34:46,220 in New York, it was quite fitting. 661 00:34:47,100 --> 00:34:52,100 Now I did have quite an adventure getting home. 662 00:34:52,460 --> 00:34:56,900 Okay. So when you leave these concerts in like, 663 00:34:56,900 --> 00:34:58,780 especially at the ones in Queens, 664 00:34:58,780 --> 00:35:00,860 it's really hard to get an Uber. 665 00:35:00,860 --> 00:35:02,820 Like it's so impossible to find your Uber 666 00:35:02,820 --> 00:35:04,300 when that many people are leaving. 667 00:35:04,300 --> 00:35:07,700 So like in those cases, it's just, it's not worth it. 668 00:35:07,700 --> 00:35:10,940 And also the taxis are impossible to get. 669 00:35:10,940 --> 00:35:13,740 So your best bet is the subway. 670 00:35:13,740 --> 00:35:15,420 And I was by myself. 671 00:35:15,420 --> 00:35:20,420 But I basically like took, 672 00:35:20,540 --> 00:35:23,780 I like walked with some people further to the subway 673 00:35:23,780 --> 00:35:27,100 that was like a little bit further to take like the three. 674 00:35:27,100 --> 00:35:31,100 And I get on the subway and I get off at Times Square. 675 00:35:31,100 --> 00:35:35,580 And at first I'm like, I'm just going to take like the 676 00:35:35,580 --> 00:35:39,060 shuttle to Grand Central, except every single car 677 00:35:39,060 --> 00:35:43,540 has like one like squatter dude on it. 678 00:35:43,540 --> 00:35:46,580 And I'm like, I'm not going to be alone in a subway car 679 00:35:46,580 --> 00:35:47,740 with any of these guys. 680 00:35:47,740 --> 00:35:52,460 No. So I go, I'm like, okay, I'm going to go to the M. 681 00:35:54,660 --> 00:35:57,940 I go get on the platform. 682 00:35:57,940 --> 00:36:01,820 Granted, also in the background, this is also happening. 683 00:36:01,820 --> 00:36:05,420 People are having like a Sabrina Carpenter sing along, 684 00:36:05,420 --> 00:36:08,340 which is like the most New York thing is like in the subway 685 00:36:08,340 --> 00:36:11,780 and Times Square after a concert, people are like all 686 00:36:11,780 --> 00:36:13,420 coming together singing the music. 687 00:36:13,420 --> 00:36:14,900 It's amazing. 688 00:36:14,900 --> 00:36:17,620 So I'm like sitting there, I hear that. 689 00:36:17,620 --> 00:36:22,620 And like, I see this dude out of the corner of my eye 690 00:36:22,620 --> 00:36:25,980 like looking over at me and he had like kind of come from 691 00:36:25,980 --> 00:36:28,860 behind the stairwell, but there was also like another girl 692 00:36:28,860 --> 00:36:29,940 who was standing next to me. 693 00:36:29,940 --> 00:36:32,860 And like, we were both coming from the show. 694 00:36:32,860 --> 00:36:36,700 We were both dressed for the show for sure. 695 00:36:36,700 --> 00:36:41,700 I look over and I realized that this guy has his penis out 696 00:36:41,980 --> 00:36:45,700 and he is masturbating in front of me. 697 00:36:45,700 --> 00:36:49,420 And so I basically ran out of there 698 00:36:49,420 --> 00:36:54,420 and I hopped in a cab and got myself home. 699 00:36:54,460 --> 00:36:56,740 I wish I could say that was the first time that's happened 700 00:36:56,740 --> 00:36:58,500 in New York City, but it is not. 701 00:36:58,500 --> 00:37:03,500 That is something that does happen sadly in city life. 702 00:37:03,500 --> 00:37:05,700 Not that you should be desensitized to it 703 00:37:05,700 --> 00:37:06,820 and not that it's okay. 704 00:37:06,820 --> 00:37:08,140 It's really nasty. 705 00:37:08,140 --> 00:37:09,740 It's not okay. 706 00:37:09,740 --> 00:37:12,780 So yeah, quite a little wild red home, 707 00:37:12,780 --> 00:37:15,900 but all in all, one of the best nights of my life. 708 00:37:15,900 --> 00:37:18,580 So thank you, Sabrina. 709 00:37:18,580 --> 00:37:29,100 Sn 710 00:37:48,580 --> 00:37:53,580 We were only 23, feeling wild and feeling free 711 00:37:53,580 --> 00:37:57,580 In the middle of July, you set my heart on fire 712 00:37:57,580 --> 00:38:01,580 Now you're just a memory and a phase over time 713 00:38:01,580 --> 00:38:03,580 We've run bright, we've run fast 714 00:38:03,580 --> 00:38:05,580 Summer love never lies 715 00:38:05,580

00:38:16,580 --> 00:38:20,580 Without an air, we can't be reading them out 719 00:38:34,580 --> 00:38:37,580 Took a train at the clock, show me off defense 720 00:38:37,580 --> 00:38:41,580 Tried it on full size, but it didn't quite fit 721 00:38:41,580 --> 00:38:46,580 Like a fever train that you face tonight 722 00:38:46,580 --> 00:38:50,580 Sun may came by, same as sacrifice 723 00:38:50,580

tamed 726 00:38:58,580 --> 00:39:02,580 We've so longed and it's gloating and dying 727 00:39:02,580 --> 00:39:04,580 We've run bright, we've run fast 728 00:39:04,580 --> 00:39:06,580 Summer love
