Hi, it's Hannah Burner.
And Des Bishop.
Thanks for calling the burner phone.
If you leave a message after the tone, we may have to make it into a podcast.
Hello, my little dialers.
We have a fun episode today.
We've never talked about it, but we're doing it.
Let's talk music.
Song lyrics.
Do you want to know what motivated me to suggest this?
What?
it's not deep and meaningful
I put on the song
I'll house you by the Jungle Brothers
which I loved when I was quite young
in my very short period
where I thought I was going to be a DJ
when I was like 11, 12 years old
It's a canon event
I bought the 12 inch
from the whiz and Main Street flushing
The 12 inch is that referring to
So 12 inches were like singles
but on a full size
Oh I thought that was like the name of the album
And they were talking about like big dicks
No, no, 12 inches is what DJs use, you know, like this.
So it's like basically like the one song,
usually like three or four versions of the one song
on a full vinyl record.
And I had like a crappy, you know, like a high-fi
with a one turntable on top.
And I would like scratch on this crappy turntable.
But anyway, I bought the 12 inch.
Anyway, I'd listen to the other day.
And the dumbest line, but it hit me
because he goes, come on girl, an act a fool.
There's no need to play a cool.
everybody shake your butt and I was like wow I never realized
basically these guys are saying don't be like aware of yourself
just let yourself go and I was like I don't think enough about the lyrics of songs
and then I was like this would be a good prompt that's beautiful so that's where it came from
well I was recently thinking about rap battles not rap battles um disc tracks and how like
it's basically just two grown adults like making fun of each other doing your mama jokes
but like literally just dissing each other but making it rhyme and everyone's like
oh like it's like two grown men doing like silly poems that are mean yes and mean poetry yeah mean
poetry but i do think there's some super profound stuff also sometimes it's not that profound but it just
hits you like when little wayne said life is a beach and i'm playing in the sand that's aristotle yeah
well there was your fans definitely came with a lot of rap lyrics good i when i when i gave that
when i when i suggested the prompt i i thought there would be a lot more deep
and meaningful stuff.
Okay, let's not get judging.
Let's not judge other people's music taste.
I'm not judging.
I'm just telling you the perception that I had of what will come in versus, and don't
get me wrong, some deep and meaningful stuff came in so much so that once again I was crying,
listening to a couple of songs, people that were suggesting.
When you guys make this cry.
Well, just, you know, just some of the stuff that was coming in, you know, you listened
to the song.
This music is very nostalgic.
Anyway, very good stuff.
the dial. So can we, can we just, uh, can we just get right into it? Yeah. So let's start with one
that I know that you love. Okay. Definitely, uh, from, from, from your crew. This is a really
timely question because, um, I've been thinking about, or I saw a video on Instagram about how,
um, some people hear song lyrics and some people hear only the rhythm. And I'm definitely a
lyrics person and my husband's a rhythm person. Um, so I want to know.
what you guys hear and if you like i my husband will look at me and be like oh i love this song and
like think it's like a love song we're like this song is a breakup song so we've just been thinking
about this lately but anyway my name's justice um and my favorite song lyric of all time is
lil wane's real g's move in silence like lasagna can't beat it yes that is the greatest that's i love how
we've gotten two little Wayne quotes within what two minutes of the pot four minutes and two seconds since we turned on the recording
little Wayne is my everything that is so good and that has to be like the giggly squad slogan because we love lasagna
that's so good honestly it's such a great line it's such a great line because yeah it's even if you're a comedian
like if you're a comedian and part of your joke was i i i'm a real g's move in silence like lasagna my brain
has been blown
I mean it's a great
it's a great one so this is what I'm
talking about that's an awesome lyric
I was I was thinking more in terms
of like stuff that has meaning for you
but I also appreciate you need
to acknowledge awesome lyrics
and that is also I think
my favorite lyrics are something that has
humor and pokes it stuff
and I also love the concept of like
moving in silence because
a lot of American culture
is very like and especially
rappers too like I got this money
I got this going on.
Instagram is all just like,
look at my pretty family,
look at my boyfriend,
look at my job.
It's like real jeez move in silence.
Like you're doing things for you
and not for other people's approval.
So there is a deep meaning in that shit.
And that's in the Bible for the record.
All the way back to the Bible.
Well,
you just brought up the Bible.
There's the story about,
you got to warn me before you.
The people that tell everyone
how holy there are,
not the holy people.
You got to,
you got to be holy people.
In your actions and in your living, not in your performance.
Yeah, people who pretend they're holier than thou.
So Little Wayne be getting deep.
Little Wayne is getting deep.
We need to talk about how many white women in their 30s were inspired by Little Wayne.
Well, I always say Cat Williams strongly influenced my comedy, and people always just look at me.
And I was like, no, it's the energy, it's the silliness, it's the swag.
Yeah, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, and Chris Rock inspired me.
So that's just the way it is.
Yeah.
I do have to say, too, that I joke with Paysley.
a lot that page doesn't listen to music enough and I said like music can really
change your mood and give you perspective and I in a second music can make you feel
that oh I'm not the first person to ever be going through something like this
and because there's like a beat and it's like finessed and cool you feel like
you're living in a rom-com or you're living in like a movie I do have to say
with the pressure of my special coming up I spice Princess Diana and Meg the
stallion hiss literally got me through that dark time because whenever i was feeling like questioning
myself or insecure i just put because these girls are dealing with high pressure performances and i just
put that shit on and if you're listened they just talk about like forget all your doubts don't come
for me i'm doing my thing is like the overall vibe you know what i think needs to be compiled
what a compilation of the greatest similes in hip hop because rappers love to use similes
And this is this is this is up there in probably the top 10 similes in hip hop real G's moving silence like lasagna great simile
I think somebody needs to compile I think I'm going to do a TikTok be like this is the top 10 similes of
of hip hop part one people like my video so much this is a part two of the best similes in habab
I think that I think that's necessary definitely do it or it's like the time that rappers had like amazing grammar
There's so many
I mean
I can't
I actually now
I'm annoyed now
that I didn't like
get a list
for right now
but something to think
about for the future
all right
let's switch it up
let's go a little more
on the deep front
pools of sorrow
waves of joy
are drifting through
my opened mind
possessing and
caressing me
from the Beatles
across the universe
pretty deep I know
could not have been more
opposite
nice and quick
no it's fucking beautiful it is fine to think
John Lennon lyric I looked it up
How these lyrics were written
Like were they high out of their minds
Okay so you I actually looked it up
And there's a very funny story about this
So this was during their like drug era
But what's so funny is that John Lennon talks about
The initial inspiration for this song was
He was in bed with his first wife
And she wouldn't shut up
Oh
And he originally
wrote the lyric in terms of just her incessant
bugging of him but when he went to write the song
it moved into like a spiritual place of
words flowing in and out of his mind
but bitches be nagging me but literally
I thought it was so funny because everyone hears this song and they just
because he makes it spiritual and he brings it into this
you know they got into this transcendental meditation during that period
but it actually begins with will she ever shut the fuck
but internally though
but I also feel like
you don't know where creatively inspiration comes
and it always comes from something like minute
and just like very standard
and then you add your genesis quah to it.
And it's a great song but then it's funny
I want a deep dive on this one
and then some critics consider that song
to be like wishy-washy nonsense
and then others feel that it's quite deep
but yeah listen to it I have to say a beautiful song
but you know John Lennon also you know like
when you actually I'm not going to get into
but when you deep dive into John Lennon you realize that like
you know, he wasn't the ideal guy.
You know, actually, the more you look into the beaters,
you always think John Lennon's the guy,
but really when you deep dive,
you realize McCartney's actually the better individual.
But I know that's controversial.
Well, hot takes being thrown.
We're not getting into it.
We're not getting into it.
We're not getting into it.
We'll get into it, but this is what I think.
But you can't respond.
We're not getting into it.
I do have to say I did watch a good Beatles documentary
about the day that Lennon was shot.
And as someone who wasn't alive during it,
it was like cool to see what that day was well and also since our society is much more aware of toxic fandom
it's also very interesting how far that can go yeah but that i i didn't mean to take it down so much
somebody was just like messaging like a lot with just like uh really good lyrics just random lyrics so
here's one of them thank you the shit bitch you're not even a fart so ice spice oh no
That's ice base.
You think of the shit, bitch?
You're not even the fault.
I'd be going hard.
I break in them hearts.
Did you love that lyric?
It just made me laugh because you got to understand I'm going through these and then all of a sudden, yeah, this is another one.
I think it's the same girl.
There's another one.
I sneezed on the beat and the beat got sicker.
That is all.
That's a great line.
I sneezed on the beat and the beat.
That's another little Wayne.
I sneezed on the beat and the beat got sicker.
Yep.
That's another.
I mean, Lil Wayne's lyrics are next.
level is he underrated little way so during my like high school time i didn't realize this was gonna kind of
treat ties on little way high school time like he he was so big like he was by far just like the greatest
and then he kind of just like disappeared so like there was a moment where everyone was like hands down he's
the greatest lyricist rapper of all time but it was like four years and then it just like he can't
and he came up with so much many albums like mr carter oh my god but you know
the thing is that like I sneezed on the beat and the beat got sick is such a great line.
But I don't want to bore the audience.
But sometimes people always say to me, is it hard to do comedy in two different languages?
And they always ask for an example of like why translation is difficult.
But I sneezed on the beat and the beat got snicker is such a great example of why translation doesn't work.
Because it requires your language to have sick having the double meaning.
Yes.
Which it doesn't have in a lot of other.
Yeah.
Whoa.
I didn't need to bore you guys.
No, but it's just such a great example
Because it's such a good line
Yeah
But there was a couple of times where I would be translating
I'd be like fuck man it doesn't mean the same thing
The right way and it doesn't hit the same
Yeah
Actually I don't even know if that was Lil Wayne
Oh no
Oh no
He's on the beat
Do you want me to Google that so that we get out of it?
Yeah double check it because I've fucked up a mean girls quote
Oh no yes
And everyone was dying laughing in my DMs
They were like you know you fucked that up
Oh
I sneezed on the beat and the beat got sicker
This is bad.
What is it?
Oh, God.
This is bad.
Oh, no.
Who is it?
It's Beyonce.
Oh, my God.
How white are you right now?
How white are you?
Oh, my God.
Wait, wait, wait.
Okay, honestly, I just, I knew I was wrong about that.
But I know it's partition, right?
It's partition.
Is it Yon?
Is the song Yonse?
No.
Yo, I'm not a Beyonce.
The song is Partition, right?
Partition, correct.
Okay, I got the song right.
You guys.
Oh, it's funny.
This is a discussion for, okay, Beyonce's new song, partition, sneeze fetish forum.
Oh.
Oh, wait.
Things that are showing here.
Well, they say sneezes are like the closest thing to an orgasm.
Oh, yeah.
So, anyway.
So, okay, so, well, the good news about that mistake was it was a very funny mistake.
Yeah, thank God.
No, but they.
They both had the, like, auto tune on it.
Like, I seized on the beat and the beat got sicker.
Great line.
I should have known.
I love Beyonce, but I'm not like, you know, I never deep dived into Beyonce enough to, like, immediately know all her songs.
Yeah.
Honestly, like, I'm pretty sure everything you say I'm going to say it was Lil Wayne.
All right.
Well, this is funny because I'm embarrassed about this, okay?
So I'll play it first and then I'm going to talk about it.
Hello.
My favorite song lyric is from the Ed Sheeran song.
you need me, I don't need you.
And it's, they say I'm up and coming, like I'm fucking in an elevator.
When I first heard that, when I was like, I don't know, 12, I didn't understand it.
And then it clicked after listening to that song.
I thought this man was a modern day Shakespeare.
I thought he was a lyrical genius.
And I don't know.
Another great simile.
Yeah.
But you know what's crazy?
I never paid attention to that song enough
to realize the joke.
No, no, no, yeah.
Up and coming, like, I'm fucking an elevator
is such a great line.
I never paid attention.
Yeah, and also you don't assume that coming
from Ed Shear and you're just waiting for like
something sweet.
Yeah, I didn't know he was dropping like a hilarious.
That's a top 10 simile right there.
That's amazing.
Yo, you love a simile.
To be honest, man, this episode should have just
been what's your favorite simile in music?
You know?
That's so funny.
Okay, can we keep a theme going to get into, but this is deeper.
Yeah.
Hello, Hannah andez.
First of all, I'd like to apologize because I do think I accidentally somehow just sent
like seven of these through completely blank.
And that is because I have one brain cell left.
And unfortunately, it can't go towards this because I have a job.
So, so sorry for spamming you.
Don't even know how I did that.
However, it does feel important that I come on here and still acknowledge the greatest
lyric of all time by Christina Perry found in Jar of Hearts. You may know it. You're going to catch a cold
from the ice inside your soul. Are you kidding me? It's so damn good. And here's why I know it's the
best lyric of all time is because when I was in the seventh grade and I found out my boyfriend at the time
was messaging another girl on Skype telling her he loved her, obviously I'm devastated. So what do I do?
I make that lyric my Facebook status.
That's how I tell him how I'm feeling.
And then we get in a fight in the comment section.
And I think that is the marker for a good lyric.
Wait, that is so iconic for so many reasons.
First of all, Skype, Savage.
Second of all, taking a lyric, putting it as your status, savage.
Then fighting with him in public in the comments.
That is so millennial coded.
That is millennial coded right there, man.
So there was a funny time where, like, actually, we all would use song lyric.
as our like aim away message to show how we're feeling that day and it was so teenage angst
but stupid it was always just like feeling myself or something I remember once I wrote like I took
one beer and I wrote like some lyric about being jaded like like oh no being faded and high or
something it's like I had one smear enough like what would music be without breakups if breakups
weren't didn't hurt you emotionally there would be 80% less music in the world yeah my my my
thing though there's two types of people though like when you get sad some people get sad and
they immediately love putting on sad breakup songs yes and i guess they feel connected get it out get it
out that's not me that's not me i will i like to like when good stuff is happening i'll put like
a theme song to my life and be walking down the street with like the positive music if a breakup
happens, I have that, like, bad bitch music where I'm like, oh, they don't know what's about
to happen.
She's about to be next level.
He's going to regret everything he ever did.
So I'm into more, like, the positive stuff because I don't want to process any sad
emotions.
Yeah, not that everybody considers sort of like vengeful lyrics to be positive.
True.
I love a vengeful lyric.
I also have to say, some lyrics aren't even, you know, cool similes or something, but they
just for some reason directly correlate to your life.
Yeah, especially if you hear them at the right time.
At the right time.
So I have to do a shout out to my boy and friend,
H hoodie Allen, who was a guest on this pod back in the day.
Hoodie Allen was one of these white college rappers.
Like, I don't know if you know, um, oh, shoot, I forget his name.
But there was a lot of these like white, like, beer rappers coming up during my college time.
And H hoodie Allen, which is a great name.
Oh, Hooty Allen?
I wasn't paying attention.
He's a Jewish rapper.
And he has this song called No Sleep Till Brooklyn.
And it was like my senior year in college and I was in Wisconsin.
I was missing Brooklyn.
And it's all about like having no faith in Brooklyn and what could have been.
And I don't want to leave this place, but he fell in love with some girl from Brooklyn.
So I like the song.
And then there's a line.
And this fucking shook me because it came out of nowhere.
But it just says, so maybe I won't make it as an athlete.
but that don't mean I'm going to let the competition pass me
and that like shook me because I was literally like
dealing with your existential crisis
I was literally deciding that I was going to fail at this sport
I pursued but then it was like
but I'm still going to be something
and I didn't know what it would be
but I kept like playing that music
and I had his Netflix special comes out on July 9th
but it's true it's like just because you were making something
I'm still gonna I'm not a loser
and I do think sometimes there's this thing called
like song manifestation
where if you play these positive songs
there's a song called like I'm a lucky girl
that girls have been playing on TikTok
that's like I'm a lucky girl
all good things come to me move through me
so like girls they'll play it all the time
so like the secret and lyric form
yes so like when you have these positive lyrics in your head
or these like badass lyrics all the time
I really do think it helps you get out of your own
head and start like putting that energy in your soul all right i mean period that's a positive for you
period all right so speaking of great uh break up songs i mean well the heartic i think is a better word
this probably from a line from a great hearty song of all time hi hannah and des um love you both
giggler here as well um one of my favorite song lyrics is an adele song song
someone like you i mean we're gonna get deep here but like you know we love a mental health moment
obviously um in that song she says regrets and mistakes their memories made who would have
thought how bittersweet this would taste and i just you know every time i hear it i'm like damn
that just really gets to me you go girl adele anyway love you both bye well if people don't know
adele is des's favorite i mean i love adele i even i mentioned her and me and mama as
that her voice has a is a direct connection to my soul cuts right through all the anger
the only way it's just like it's like her voice uses ways and just avoids all the traffic
and just goes just goes right to the heart what's your number one adult song I mean honestly
it's kind of that one because it was the time in my life where it had had meaning for me
and it's just you know because there's something so beautiful about you know that you had
something with somebody that doesn't leave you the feeling of what you had doesn't leave you but the
hurt of them just having this other life without you is it's fucking torture and there's this beautiful
sort of almost desperation of her wanting to still be connected to this guy but also not being
it's it really captures like true emotion there's no there's no hiding in that song you know
just trying and of course she's like she's trying to act like she's happy for this
the guy but she's really not she still wants to be connected to him it's that that's i think that's
one of the best songs ever written in my opinion so vulnerable of her it's vulnerable because you could
say whatever you want but it with that voice and you're still cool but she's basically like i
don't feel good about this yes i my favorite adele song which i think is so underrated which was
i think the first song i ever heard from her when started playing on mtv was chasing pavements yes
Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements even if it leads nowhere?
And it's such a like sad like line about just like existence where it's like what are we doing?
Adele is the queen of sadness.
I know, but I love her.
And I do think like she's very comedic.
Obviously she's.
Yeah, I went to her show in Madison Square.
Apparently she just like does stand up the whole time.
In fact, it actually started to annoy me because I love her song so much.
Yeah.
I'd like, you know, we watch a lot of standup.
I was like, Adele, I mean, I love it.
Normally, I hate when they don't talk enough.
Adele talks a lot at her shows.
But it's funny because she's being hilarious and then singing the saddest songs.
But there's humor and sadness are so inter-correlated.
Humor and set.
A hundred percent.
Yeah.
And it's like two ways to deal with it in coping is either like singing about it.
She's just like creatively expressing sadness in different ways.
You know, nothing stinks more than New York City in the summer.
And that's why I'm obsessed with Loomy Holwell.
body deodorant because the body odor coming out of these New Yorkers once the weather gets over
70 degrees is atrocious. It should be illegal. That's why I'm obsessed with loomy deodorant powered by
mandelic acid to control your odor in a new way with 72 hour odor control protection. I'm

I like to wear it when I'm like going out to dinner or something. And clean tangerine,
lavender sage is great for during the day. It's refreshing. And it's strong. Like you smell
really, really good. I feel like I put on some other deodorants. And I'm like, okay, I don't
know if this is going to last. We're like hours into the day. I'm like, ooh, I still smell like

Oh, let's play one that's very had-acoded.
Hey, guys, this song is one of my favorites, and my girlfriend said that in the Giggly Squatores, she was last year, you played it before you came to the state.
So my favorite song is Fucking Problems by A-Sapuro.
one of the most amazing songs
and my favorite lyric is
I love bad bitches that's my fucking problem
and yeah I like to fuck
that's my fucking problem
yeah I think there's such
poetry in this
fucking lyric it's just like
yeah I get this dude
I get what he's trying to say
this is like a man moment
it's like bear versus man
who will win the man or the bear
yeah
that's Aesabrak shit
if you know you know yeah
thanks
is that an Italian man
He's not
He's not a native English speaker
That we know for sure
Wait I love that a dude
I'm pretty sure he messaged him before
But I could be wrong
Yeah
No that's okay
So for people don't know
When you are going on the road
They go
Oh what song do you want to walk out to
So this song
Sets the tone for your set
And the song that I've been doing
Since day one
Isap Rocky
Fucking Problems
Start at 20 seconds
and it literally just goes
I love bad bitches
that's my fucking problem
and yeah like the fuck
I got a fucking problem
yeah
and that was my entire tour
for six years
you know what
I've I've been on many shows with you
I don't always watch the whole show
but I always watch the walkout
and I never paid attention
to how great that lyric is
because I never realized like
I love bad bitches that's my fucking problem
and I'm like amen bro
and I think there's something
empowering about it that like you're walking on basically being like I am that bad bitch that
guy's rapping about and I'm also insinuating that I'm also him that like I have fucking
problems and I'm about to talk to you guys about yeah but also it's to your fans too it's like here
comes the bad bitch that you love yeah yeah a lot of deep meanings yeah and also those those girls
are the bad bitches too yeah but also how many women can identify with this because like yeah
I like fucking asshole guys.
I mean, it's a, it hits so many.
It's deep meaning.
I never knew that all the time.
I was just like, great beat.
Oh my God.
No.
And there's something about bad bitches.
Like, I love that as a concept.
Like, because girls are called a lot of things.
And I think like bad bitches.
And ultimately he's fucking married or I don't know if they're married.
But he's with the baddest bitch of them all, Rihanna, who I try to channel at all times.
Like who's just, she's just like she's a mogul.
She's confident.
she takes creative risks like she's a bad bitch and um i think like bad bitch mentality is a thing
and and then him saying like to fuck i got a fucking problem it shows like that you're not in
control of things well yeah there's a little little sex addict vibes yeah whatever your like coping
mechanism is so i just oh and it's bad it's badass also because like well it makes all my
like sex shit easy if you could get past that first lyric coming on so it kind of sets
the tone for everything.
Yeah, I used to say,
I used to do this joke years ago about,
you know,
like bad guys and I used to compare it to political parties.
And it's like,
Sinn Féin and Ireland,
it doesn't matter,
but like there's an Irish political party
that's like controversial.
I was like,
you know,
you want to fuck Sinn Fain,
but when it comes to settling down,
you want to get with,
you basically be like,
you want to fuck Robert F. Kennedy,
but when you settle down,
you need to get with Biden.
You know what I mean?
You don't want to marry the fucking
the bad bitch,
but in the end I kind of did.
So, all right, you ready?
Oh, God, yeah.
It wouldn't be a fair representation of what came in percentage-wise
if some of this wasn't represented.
And as, first of all, what an impossible question, truly.
However, this submission is specific for Taylor Swift.
I'll start with all too well.
She has a few lyrics in there I'd like to touch upon.
The first being, you kept me like a secret.
but I kept you like an oath.
That scratch is an itch.
And also from that song, I called you up again,
or you called me up again just to break me like a promise,
so casually cruel in the name of being honest.
I feel like that sentiment really rings true for a lot of people.
And finally, from one of her newest songs off of the Tortured Poets department,
Love of My Life, or Lost My Life, rather,
specifically you talked me under the table talking rings and talking cradles i wish i could
unrecall how we almost had it all dancing phantoms on the terrace are they second-hand
embarrassed that i can't get out of bed because something counterfeits dead oh wow like it's like is my
oh she got cut off i mean you got to say fucking incredible the last one who i have to say her her last
album was like
lyrical just like
she was like toying with people
like going off like crazy
yeah but that's a heavy lyric
oh my god yeah that's something counterfeits dead
ooh baby no it's
come on it's funny because I like
I'm pulling up
I can do it with a broken heart
that was one of my favorite songs
on the tortured poets department
and let me just read some of it
it says because I'm a real tough kid
I can handle my shit.
They say, babe, you got to fake it until you make it.
And I did.
Lights, camera, bitch, smile, even when you die.
I was grinning like I'm witting.
I was hitting my marks because I could do it with a broken heart.
And then it cuts to, I'm so depressed.
I act like it's my birthday every day.
That line is, she's basically saying,
I'm so depressed that I have to pretend I'm so fucking happy every day
to not have people realize I'm depressed.
Then she goes, I'm so obsessed with him, but he avoids me like the plague, which is such a, like, I would, you, I would never admit that in my life that any guy avoids me like the plague and I'm obsessed with him.
So that's, but you got to be honest.
And, you know, this is deep, this is deep creativity.
And then she goes, I cry a lot, but I am so productive.
It's an art.
I feel like so many girls could connect with that, that like, just because you're emotional, you're also getting shit done.
And I joke, I cried while playing tennis matches.
I've been so depressed while being my busiest and getting so much shit done.
And then she goes, you know you're good when you could do it even with a broken heart.
So this is speaking to you?
I think it just speaks to like that you can have inner turmoil and still be performing.
Yeah, well, you have to do it.
And by performing, it could be anything from just showing up to work and being in meetings and putting a smile on.
I'm so depressed, but I act like it's my birthday.
that is fucking iconic.
Yeah, I mean,
I think maybe Taylor Swift doesn't get enough,
maybe she doesn't get enough songwriting cred
from non-Swifties?
So the Swifties...
Because every line that I've just heard is incredible.
All the Swifties say is have you listen to her lyrics?
She, first and foremost, is a songwriter
and has been a songwriter since, like, a very, very young age,
like, whatever, five years old,
something like weird phenom.
genius vibes and she writes all her shit and that's why she connects with her audience because
you could be like oh she just writes about her boyfriends you literally see her date someone and the
next day she has the most incredible song that you know she did pen to paper about what she experienced
the only problem is that there's probably something maybe slightly unethical about how public she is
with her relationships and then she writes very personal stuff no i don't care but no no no no excuse me i don't
care about monetize. I'm not talking about that. I'm just talking about the fact that there's not
an anonymity about the experiences that she's talking about. But I'm saying that that's been a thing,
like there's a very famous interview on Ellen when Taylor Swift's like 19 and she's like,
do these guys like get upset that they date you and then you publicly expose them? And she goes,
well, then maybe they shouldn't do what they did. So people like that she's kind of like
vengeful and powerful. You kept me like a secret.
you kept me like an oath that I thought that was you came like secret I kept you like an oath yeah
very yeah yeah I mean she's she's so smart that's why I was joking about her being with a guy who
especially because she's never done anything wrong in any of her songs she has a hundred percent
success record well no but in her her whole song is it's me hi I'm the problem it's me oh right
that's her literally being like oh wait I guess I'm the problem because this has been like a
consistent thing and that's what her eras are about because she'll be like a lover girl era and i'm speaking
like not as like a really really um i'm not all up on everything but like she has her love ago era
then her reputation era was like when when basically conier came for her and she lost her reputation
she was coming back just like badass and like revenge and stuff and being like everyone hates me and i
don't care oh my god there's lines from reputation are you a swifty are you like are you like a closet
It's Swifty or something?
For sure,
Clos of Swifty.
I'm not like,
yeah.
I've never heard this much
passion about
Taylor Swift.
Oh,
I'm fucking up on,
I also watch her
documentary weekly.
All I know is that I,
you know,
I like Taylor Swift songs.
You know,
I'm not a Swifty.
I'm not a Swifty,
but I like Taylor Swift songs.
But I,
every time somebody
points something out to me,
I do kind of go like,
oh, this girl,
for the people that aren't
into Taylor Swift,
probably don't give her
enough credit.
Well, people will joke
that every song
sounds similar.
like I was walking through the park seeing what he's playing and doing my thing going my
straining like they think it sounds similar when it's like it's kind of like if you're listening
to a language that you don't understand you're like it sounds the same everyone's saying the same
thing and it's like no you're not listening no no she's she's good um so I'm just gonna play this
we'll talk about it then maybe I try too hard but it's all because of this desire I just
want to be liked. I just want to be funny, but it looks like the joke's on me. So call me
Captain Backfire. I'm never speaking up again. It always hurts me. I'd rather be a mystery
than... I forget the rest. But the beginning part was good.
We'll probably edit that to give her a bit more flow.
But she doesn't say who the lyric is from, but before we discuss it, it's very relevant to, I, I, I like the lyric because it's relevant to us.
Yeah, it's quite, how many times have you just, like, been trying to, like, impress and you fucking, you end up, like, offending somebody or, or, like, you know, trying to get too much attention and then, you know, so the joke's on you kind of.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, when you're always trying to be the joke, to create a joke, and then you realize you're actually the butt of the joke and it's like your biggest fear is that.
But then someone just saying that and being like that, that should happen sometimes.
It's like, it is scary when someone voices your biggest imaginary fears.
Yes.
Great line.
Yes.
Guess who it's from?
Because I had to look it up.
Ooh.
Okay.
Is it a singer or a rapper?
Singer.
It's relevant.
Like during this time.
I've deliberately played it right now.
I've played it deliberately now after our last one.
And I was surprised when I saw it.
Who is it?
John Mayer.
John Mayer.
Yeah.
Wow.
There you go.
Wow.
Well, he's known to like he likes to be kind of silly, funny, poke fun of himself.
Now, was it, was it Jake Gyllenhaal or him that I kept you like a secret?
Or you kept me like a secret.
I kept you like an oath.
I think that's Jake Gillen.
Oh, right.
Okay.
It was all too well.
Wow.
It hurts me that one of the lines that spoke to me was from John Mayer.
This does remind me of...
The villain of...
the piece. Yes. There is a right now a nickelback documentary that I didn't love the documentary but it's
basically about like why did everyone turn on nickelback and they become the biggest joke. They've become a
meme and everyone's like why do people hate them so much and people like oh it's corny. It's very like pop
rock just to make like it's just too easy but it's funny because even something like espresso
the song Espresso right now it's like it's me espresso. It just
it's people like lines that are like weird and don't make sense but they're cute and
rhymy but then nickelback you actually listen to it and like look at this photograph every
time I see it makes me laugh like he he has these deep fucking like nice lyrics that just aren't
like cool and like what does he mean by that um but I thought bringing nickelback back
I'm just saying I only know one nickelback song rock star all the memories I was done with on a
back door all the foes time to say whatever okay long story short nickel back just not deserve the
hate they get nobody deserves largely most people don't deserve the hate they get in in terms of
people just not being liked for being who they are yes one thing people get hate for doing fucked up
shit but people that just people they just sometimes people decide something's not cool and then they have
to live with that i think the songs yeah the songs were actually good it was that they they didn't
like that the head guy had like his silly hairdo yeah
And he was saying like this.
Wait.
So what are you going to do?
I have to bring up another Tyler Swift lyric.
I'm so sorry.
You haven't been able to let this go.
No, because I'm like now just remembering.
That's what happens in every single episode we do.
It starts to hit me and I get super passionate about it.
I did something bad.
You just reminded me of the side of Taylor Swift where she...
She's honest about herself?
She's honest about herself.
This is the first fucking line of this song.
Okay.
I never trust a narcissist, but they love me.
and I so I play them like a violin
and I make it look oh so easy
because every lie they tell me
they tell three
this is how the world works
now he thinks all he thinks about is me
wow
like it's just about mind games
and like dealing with these dudes
who you're like he's horrible
but I want him to see me
ooh
ooh
that was bad
I really Hannah's coming out
as a Swifty here today
yep yep
wonderful pistachios are the snack of summer that we've been eating nonstop because they've literally come out of their shells it's a little too easy to just put them in your hand and put it in your mouth i'm obsessed with all of them
i mean we're out of control in here i'd say 40% of my calorie intake is from these pistachios so many flavors
they have chili roasted honey roasted sea salt and vinegar which is amazing the sea salt and vinegar smoky barbecue sea salt and pepper
and the newest edition of jalapeno lime.
Have you had the jalapeno lime?
No, the halapeno lime is the first one I had.
Did you like it?
In my opinion, am I allowed to express my own purse of pain?
Yeah.
The best one.
But, you know, some people don't like a little bit of a spicy kick.
Oh, God.
But it's the convenience.
It's about the fact that you don't have to sit there and take them out of the shell.
Also, sometimes we snack so unhealthfully, and this is a healthy snack for when you're
on the move.
You know, we're outside.
We're playing some tennis.
We're in the car.
We're just eating some pistachios.
If you're looking for a protein, pick me up, or a take me up.
A Tasty, Late Night Treat, Wonderful Pistachios, No Shells, is the everyday go-to snack nut.
Get snacking.

Okay, so I want to run with a theme here,
which is bands that suddenly people decide are not cool.
Oh, my God.
And probably, I think, deserve more credit.
Here's one.
Hey, guys, it's Dana from New York City.
I love your pod and listen every week.
Um, my favorite quote is something I used as my senior year lyric or my senior quote in the
yearbook. It's, I tried so hard and got so far, but in the end, it doesn't even matter.
So it's a little negative, I guess, but it's from a Lincoln Park song. And I just thought
it really made sense, especially in high school where, you know, I did like all the different
activities and sports and it really just didn't matter because really how many people look back
on high school all the time and all the things you did.
I mean, a lot of things do help you become who you are,
but I just think people take life too seriously.
And so that's just my favorite quote.
All right, maybe this will make it on the pod.
Thanks.
Well, number one, what's so beautiful about that is that she got a lot out of that lyric.
I mean, I got chills listening to that lyric.
I think hearing a band sing basically being like,
stop being so hard on yourself,
I was really hard to myself and realized I shouldn't have been.
is so powerful and saying it just yelling because this is a yelling song
in the end it doesn't even matter it's basically being like and no one cares and I had
like a tweet about that where I was like I wrote something like no matter how bad things
are going like at the end of the day when you can't think of anything else to make you feel
better just remember that no one gives a shit about you and that will always help a little
that no one fucking cares and at first you're like ooh and then you're like ah
Ah, it's liberating.
Yes, yes.
Lincoln Park was, I would never tell any, but this is how shame, like,
this is how much, like, people saying Lincoln Park is not cool, like, affect it.
Lincoln Park used to be my secret workout music, but I never wanted people to know.
See, and that's fucked up because, like, Lincoln Park, to hate on someone,
they have to get so big and to get so big, you have to be good and you have to be talented.
Yes.
I remember, though, like, do people hate Lincoln Park after they came out with the Jay-Z song?
I don't know
But that's actually
I think that's how I know Lincoln Park
That song was so sick
That's how I know them
Oh my God, yeah
That's the crossover
That brought them into my life
Yeah
I guess there was a little bit about
Like some maybe in cell dudes
Started to like love those songs
Like the type of people
They think like that music
I'm all about listening
To fucking anything
Even if it's like corny weird
I'll get addicted to like random songs
I'll get a soundtrack
A random song from like Shrek
That I'll just start listening to
over and over again and some people might say I have bad taste of music but whatever gives you
good feeling and emotion and you need well listen I'm happy to come out right now I'm not cool
you know I've never really tried to be that cool and I'm not cool I'm not buying it the fact that
you say you're not cool is like cool and I'm not trying to be cool by saying it I'm not cool
didn't he have a he had a bad end in the end right yeah he committed he unalived himself
he well I think on alive is not a political correct term by the way it's
the term that the internet created so that you wouldn't get banned.
What is the term?
Well, I think...
He took his life.
He took his own life, I think?
And definitely part of it was the hate.
Died by suicide, by the way.
If you say suicide, you say died by suicide.
But Unalived is what they do on TikTok so you don't get flagged when you say suicide.
Oh, wow.
I'm speaking like internet lingo.
Yeah.
No, but just in case people were wondering what's the correct language.
Yeah.
But it was because of hate, I feel like.
You think so?
I think it was depressed.
I mean, clearly, he was much younger when he wrote that.
lyric yeah he was depressed too i think there was some depression there yeah okay so since we're on the
theme of uh uh people that uh are not cool hey hannah and des i love the lyric from the song higher power
by cold play and it goes i'm so happy that i'm alive happy i'm alive at the same time as you
i know it sounds corny but if you think about it it's insane that we were born at the same
time as the people that we love and admire and like artists we listen to and i just love that
lyric i like a lyric that represents the randomness of life oh i love that too you know she i always
felt cole play were very unfairly maligned very unfairly well they're another one it's all those
guys in that time period got a lot of hate well i think it's because he started being with gwyneth i
think that had a lot to do with it wasn't he also with till no that that was no no no chris martin but
I feel like they've written a lot of awesome songs and for some reason they just got put into that
into the hack bracket.
Yes, the hack bracket.
It's so funny because that's what's similar with comedy and music is when someone starts
getting considered hacky, but to be considered hacky, you have to be, people have to like you.
Yeah, but I'm going to cut across you there and say there's a slight difference in that cold play
weren't actually hacky you know like I I understand a lot of comedians are unfairly called
hacky but but there are some easy jokes yes you know but cold play they weren't they weren't
really hacky yeah just people just decide because they were popular saying yeah once the masses
start to like them it's easy to be like well the masses like them because they're doing accessible
easy things that everyone likes when all you're trying to do is gain traction that
more people like you
and then when to when people like you
that means it's a problem.
Yeah,
and it comes like a radio head
versus coal plate thing
like radio head of the...
Yes, it's real.
Yeah.
It's the classic,
like they call it a comics comic.
Comics comic means like
they're not popular
but comics,
other comics think they're good.
Yes.
When your only job in comedy
is for the people to laugh.
Yeah.
But if just the other comics
are admiring it,
maybe it's not the ultimate goal.
I mean,
I can think a good examples
of like in the comedy world.
Like, yeah.
I'm not going to name any
actual hacks because I'm not into like
outing, hacky people. But I could
tell you there's a British comic
who is incredible. People
try to put him in the hack bracket
which is absolute bullshit because he's fucking
amazing Michael McIntyre.
Top level British comic like if any of those
people are listening. They know he's number one.
And some comics comics,
which I won't name,
would have come after him in the past
right, which is motivated by
jealousy but they get they get protected
by their I'm cool
cabal of angry men but actually Michael McIntyre is incredible Michael McIntyre kind of like a bit of
a cold play of the comedy world unfairly maligned as a hack not but what does he care he's
laughing all the way to the bank the guy's one of the top comics but anyway that's my that's
my comedy comparison hot take love I'm not going to get into any American ones I'm
just not going to get into it so that's our that's our people that shouldn't be
called Uncooled section done.
I want to play this one because this person made an effort to sing.
Oh, love it.
And it also put me on a bit of a deep dive, which caused a lot of tears.
Hey, guys, love you.
I am currently in my bed, scrolling my phone.
And this is the first time I'm using my voice this morning.
So welcome.
But I love, I'm a romantic girlie, okay?
so don't judge me. I like to suffer for love. I think it's magical and beautiful. So I love video games
from Lana. And my favorite lyric is, it's you, it's you, it's all for you. Everything that I do,
I tell you all the time. Heaven is a place on earth with you. Tell me all the things you want to do.
I heard you like
The bad girl's honey
Is that true
And yes
This is it
I think it's beautiful
I think it's deep
I think it's therapeutic
I think it's just
Wait I love
First of all she's saying it so well
A lot of emotion
I love that we have international
Little Dialers
It makes me feel so cool
And then
Also I love people that like
Love feeling
Like she's the kind of friend
that I need in my life like Haley who like Haley will cry over anything and I'm like wait if I felt
5% of the emotion you feel I would be like more comfortable within myself wait so did you do a
Lana deep dive I did because first of all when she sang that I do love that song but then I like
listened to it fully and then of course I looked at the meaning and you know it was it was from like a
like an adolescent relationship where she was you know kind of just like obsessed with the guy but
also kind of like trying to be whatever he wants yeah what he wants
but there was also something nice
about the simplicity of youth
they were just playing video games
and hanging out
and she was just like
wanted to be his everything
it was just it was nice
and it was just so nice
also that a song
you could feel it
because the video
the video is nice too
I watched the video
and there's like a nostalgia to it
that's so great
oh well she's artful
oh god
in the next way
and her voice is incredible
so of course
I've been driving around
listening to her songs
she's another one man
summertime sadness
I got that summertime,
sadness.
Oh,
kiss me right before you, girl.
I know a couple of her hits,
but I,
anyway,
it's,
first of all,
full marks for the singing,
but that song is very emotional.
Even if you,
even if you didn't speak English,
and you were just hearing,
and you were just hearing words,
you can feel it in the,
in the vocal.
That is actually such a crazy concept
that you can evoke emotion
without having any,
like lyrics well she can she absolutely yeah adele can lady gaga can yeah i mean shallow
yeah well it's in the show yeah it's in me i do have to say not to make this about me but ever since
i died my hair i've been getting lana people who'm saying i look like lana which is interesting
because you got to put a little extra in your lips i was going to say lana doesn't really look like
Lana.
If you Google it.
That's what I noticed.
That's the one thing I noticed, even in that video.
She's become like a, yeah, this piece of art.
Like her face and everything is a piece of art.
But if you Google her before, like she was just kind of this like blonde normal chick
and she's become this kind of piece of sculpture.
But one of the great haunting voices.
Haunting.
Well, she was the ones.
Will you still love me when I?
I'm no longer young and beautiful.
I mean, there's a lot of, we're going to ruin it.
I know you will.
I know that you will.
When you say it, it seems threatening.
True.
I know you will.
Why does it sound like I'm being haunted by a ghost?
Wait, also, oh no.
I already know that you'll still love me when I'm no younger.
and beautiful I'm ahead of the game
I have one other person who
have lyrics that I fuck with
who's that no doubt
Gwen Stephanie didn't come up
I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl in the world
and that's all that they'll let me be
and she's just like yelling it
and badass and conti
I'm just a girl
a little of me don't
don't give me out any
right
Hannah definitely identifies more with the
with the angry songs and the vengeful songs.
So for anyone listening,
I can't believe I didn't open with this plug,
but when girls come to my show,
they would just play like generic music in the crowd,
and I was like, no, this is an experience.
Like when people sit down
and want them to immediately get the vibes.
So I created this playlist,
and it's called the Angry Woman playlist.
Oh, yes.
And it's all just, like, songs.
It started with, like, Alanis Morissette
and that kind of vibe.
Then I went to, like, Christina Aguilera, and the next thing, you know, it was just, like, anything that makes me feel pumped up and, like, proud and excited.
So the Angry Woman pre-show playlist is on Spotify.
I highly recommend you guys like it and listen to it.
Oh, you have it on there, do you?
Yeah.
But I'm going to play this one because I have it listed as funny performance, and I don't know why.
Hi, Hannah.
Hi, hi, Des.
Love you guys.
Love the podcast.
So I'm not sure about, like, the best.
song lyrics of all time, but I am a wheezy fanatic till I die. So this one's pretty good.
Should I wrap it? I will. Devil on my shoulder. The Lord as my witness. So on my Libra
scale, I'm weighing sins in forgiveness. What goes around comes around like a hula hoop. Karma is a
bitch well just make sure that bitch is beautiful i think really he's talking about like life
decisions life is about choices and you have to weigh what's good and what's bad and karma's
going to come your way so i really think he's a lyrical genius if you listen to any of his stuff
um love you guys bye great way to take us out oh my god
Hannah's on the
Hannah's Googling again
Okay I have to do
Add to
You know
Did you know what she meant
When she said wheezy?
Actually I'm not that
Will Wayne is Weezy Baby
Oh okay
He goes
Boise Baby
So I didn't even know
That we're getting
Another Lil Wayne lyric here
So when I was
Driving a practice in the morning
And you're
You're so tired
You have nothing left
You have no motivation
You have to go to this practice
You need to find something
In your heart
To get you going
We'd put on
Drop the world
by little Wayne and it goes
I got ice in my veins
blood in my eyes
hate in my heart
love in my mind I see
nights full of pain
days are the same
you keep the sunshine
same of the rain
I search but never find
hurt but never cry
I work forever try
but I'm cursed so never mind
and it's worse but better times
he's further and on
the top gets higher
the more that I climb
the spot gets smaller
and I get bigger
trying to get into where I fit
in no room for a blank
but soon for a blank
it beyond motherfucker because all this bullshit
it makes me strong
motherfucker
so I picked the world up
and I just drop it on your fucking head.
Wow.
Good performance.
Insene.
Wait, I don't want to be a rapper so bad.
Anna, you, you know, man,
this is what we've learned from this podcast
is like, it has to be like
angry and vengeful.
I'm Sicilian.
It's great.
It's,
I'm Sicilian.
Honestly, the whole time this podcast,
I've been really identifying
with like the songs about hurt.
And you're just all about like
the vengeance and the,
anger and like i'm gonna fucking take this motherfucker over no like i've not i honestly have to and i don't
mean to like i heartbreak is not a big emotion in my life it's more just like on to the next
on to the next stutter from the bottom now we're here to the left to the left to the left to the left
everything you own in a box to the left actually we have to finish on this you know what that
reference was i i i i i i don't say continue okay i i did so like actually can we finish on this because
when this came up I looked up the lyrics to this song and Jesus Christmas this is
one of the most intense songs ever written wait can we say Jesus Christmas more often that's
hilarious have you never heard Jesus Christmas
I have bring it back that is so funny it's so out of pocket so I look to fuck me man what a song
I love this prompt because I have so many favorite song lyrics but the first one that
popped in my head was in the song Love the Way You Why by Eminem featuring Rihanna and it
see you don't get another chance
life is no Nintendo game.
You don't get another chance.
Life is no Nintendo game.
Obviously great lyric.
But then, of course,
I did the deep dive on that song,
which I love.
And I've tried to sing that song in karaoke.
It's fucking almost impossible.
It's lyrically very complicated.
You can, if you're in Google mode.
Yeah, I'm looking up the lyric.
The song is super intense because it's really about a toxic.
I mean, even the just title,
Love the Way You Lie is so fucking layered.
Yeah, I guess that's why they call it window pain.
I mean, like, everything,
find a couple of classics.
I mean, it's so.
so good.
Yep.
I do have to say the one song, and I think it does turn kind of vengeful, is unfaithful
by Rihanna.
Have you ever heard unfaithful by Rihanna?
It's basically about someone who's, she's cheating, and she doesn't know how to deal
with that.
And it's, because you always deal with songs about, like, I found out he's cheating, fuck him.
It's literally, like, um, I know that he knows that.
I'm unfaithful and it kills me inside
to know that I'm happy with some other
guy I can see him dying
I don't want to do this anymore I don't want to
be the reason why every time I walk out the
door I see him die a little more inside
I don't want to hurt him anymore I don't want to take away
his life I don't want to be
a murderer
who
what are you trying to say huh
I just got chills what are you trying to say
I'm just saying it's also like not even about cheating
it's about when you love someone
and you don't want to
to hurt them and the nuance of like that perspective um who you guys this was a crazy episode
honestly i had too much fun this episode yeah great guys do you have to do a playout for this
my record yeah we'll do some playouts my recommendation is go and read the lyrics of love the way you
lie uh our pot is being ended by abby the foster dog walking in who's available for adoption
and i'm in stanford can i get tonight if this podcast gets up on saturday hopefully it
does. Otherwise, the most important gigs you need to, guys, you need to go to Rochester
gigs. I'm there all weekend. Plenty of tickets left. Rochester. Madison, Wisconsin just
went on sale, by the way. Go badgers! All right, we'll talk to you guys soon. Peace.
Hi, Hannah. Hi, Des. I just jumped out about to record this because I couldn't
not with this prompt. So my favorite lyric is from a Leonard Cohen song, and it goes,
there are cracks and everything
and that's where the light gets in
and it's just a nice reminder
that when things aren't perfect
or haven't gone the way you want them to
that's something love they can still
come out of it
and he's also my mum's
favourite so that makes it
extra special but I've just
always loved that lyric and
anytime I've told people about it
it's been really comforting
for them they've always
got something out of it
you know if I tell them when it's when something isn't going perfectly it's always just like a nice
thing to say to people um anyway love the podcast and i hope you like that one hello you beautiful people
you guys always have really great prompts but this one got me especially excited my favorite line
i think it's something that we can all relate to just really hits home for all of us it's i'm going to
roll myself up in a big ball and die
by Frank Sinatra in his song
That's Life. It just
really hits, you know.
Great song, great line.
Mwa.
Hi, Hannah and Des. Love you guys.
Love listening to you guys. Best of luck
to the both of you in
your comedy endeavors.
A fellow giggler here.
A
fucking gag. I was in a relationship for
four years and the person never told
me they loved me. Like,
Why was I there?
I don't know.
I was in my 20s.
It's a blur now.
And when that relationship finally finished,
it's a sappy one.
Yes, it was a heartbreak song.
It's called Best Part by her and Daniel Caesar.
And when I tell you that I was on the floor sobbing,
replaying the same line over and over and over again,
because why, Rich?
The line goes, if you love me,
won't you say something?
Like, if you love me, why are you not saying something?
The fuck?
Like, do you love me or not?
The fuck?
Um, yeah, that was my heartbreak song.
Bye!
Hey, Hannah.
Hey, does.
Okay, this might sound a little weird, but my favorite song lyric is,
if you don't eat to meat, how can you have any pudding?
And I love, this is Pink Floyd, by the way.
Um, another brick on the wall.
I love this lyric because it reminds me of Matilda, like that.
mean teacher and it just kind of is like nostalgic for me and I don't know in college we would
always like just say it around um I think more people should say that out loud anyways love you guys
