But I am driving from the back seat.seat like I know you've heard the term backseat driver but I actually have a steering wheel sticking out of the driver's seat

and little yes because I am obsessed with control and who pulls up next to us but none other than Davis Love and Rory McIlroy and they are in a

souped up, kick-ass golf cart. Not a golf cart. A Volkswagen Golf. Okay. A golf car. A golf car. A golf car.

And they start talking shit. Yeah. And revving the shit up they got naz on the golf car and they go how'd you like to drag race and i go it's through the concert there's like we're all this is a like a parking lot we're totally closed in there's cars all over the place. They go, you got a Hemi in that thing? I go, I don't think so. And there's also a concert happening up front. A movie concert. Yeah, it's a drive-in movie style concert event.

And I'm thinking, this is no good. But as part of my man code, I've never backed down from a damn drag race in my life and we're not in any kind of fancy souped up golf car you know we're just a little damn puddle jumper we're in a little plane a plane a little we're in a little sea plane so god's painted to look like a duck and put the thing but the thing barely goes you know

it's that barefoot on the dirt in the hot sun next to a mountain kind of vibe. I've heard that the way they say goodbye in Colorado is actually they say, hey, go folk yourself. They also say to hell you ride. To hell you ride. Yeah. To hell you ride. To hell you ride, baby. Yeah.

To hell you ride. To hell you ride, baby. So yeah, get those Patagonias out. Take those Tevas off and get those feet nice and dirty in that ground. The dirty feet. Bury your feet in the ground. Yeah. Get your feet under the earth. Get those Yeti coolers out.

Fill them with some cheeses and some wine. Maybe a craft brew or two. And get down to business. Because guess what? You're going back to your second home later. This is Kevin. Speaking of second homes. Hi, Lily.

Hi, Kevin. Kevin also comes from extreme wealth. To be clear, I actually don't. Okay. But I grew up there. So. Yeah. She's a townie.

A cutter. Exactly. That's cool, man. We hated you guys. The damn townies. Because you're a rich kid? I'm enormously wealthy. There's no question about it.

Got it. Come on, look at these cats. Look at all these cats. Look at that bare bookshelf. Look at this empty bookshelf. That bare bookshelf just reeks of wealth. Yeah, I read them all. Yeah, the bookshelf's empty because I actually read them all.

I don't just put the books up. So you threw them away at the end? No empty because I actually read them all I don't just sit and put the books up at the end he sold them and now he's rich that's how rich people that's how money makes money I don't just sit there with the book this is a book I read once maybe I'll open it again

no get the cash get the fuck out. Money is a book. You fold it. It's got letters. You fold it up. You open it. Oh, yeah.

And when I'm reading it, it is a lot of pages. Because it's so much of it. So a damn townie, huh? Well, we'll still do the show anyway i mean but look like culturally i am essentially like a trust fund kid basically sure so i get it and i get back to my roots with this album and i really i went hard and it shows the album is unbelievable and what do you feel about the uh the response you've been getting that you didn't have to go so damn hard and you didn't have to go quite that hard and that and

that i mean follow up but it's related what do you say to your critics who believe that you didn't have to do them like that lily i guess i say like look why not try your hardest every day? And yeah, okay, maybe I didn't need to pour all my blood, sweat, and tears into this one thing. And yeah, maybe it would have been better if I didn't care. But I cared. And I can't take that back now. So just listen to the fucking album. Yeah, Kevin, just play it.

Do you have the songs? Do you have any songs? Yeah. This song is called The One. The One. The number one song. Song one. Oh.

I'm liking the vibe. Pretty good. I'm doing good. I'm on some new shit. Okay, stop it, Kevin. So, okay. You're making a weird face. This actually isn't my album.

This is what we're playing? Okay, okay, okay. Okay, okay. You got it, Hayes? isn't my album. What we're playing? Okay. Okay. You got it, Hayes? Yeah, I sort of thought that we were sort of going to be on the same page about this. So yes, you sent us your album.

That I worked really hard on. Via Mega Upload. And we listened to it and it is very songs. Yeah. Mega Upload and we listened to it and it is very songs yeah pretty raw it is like yeah for sure

but like absolutely songs did you listen to Bluegrass Festival did you listen to Judd Weavey Trail Judd Weavey Trail Double Black Diamond festival uh is that did you listen to judd weavy trail judd weavy trail double black diamond the ski slope one yeah did you listen to chairlift city yeah that one i actually do want to talk like eventually i do want to talk about a little bit more not Not now, but I have an image in my mind that's hard to figure out, just geographically how Chairlift City works,

but we can talk about that. Is it like a... Yeah, no. I was curious, too. So Sean and I were thinking, we talked about it, and it was like, we cannot play this.

But... Oh, my God. But what if we play this other thing that is so big other artists that i think people really want to hear they've been talking about wanting to hear it it's rather than your thing which like great you worked hard i'm glad i'm not saying it's good or bad but nobody wants to hear this we've been looking for ways hey god people there's lots of things that are good that people don't necessarily want to hear. Like the truth.

Yeah. We've run into that on this show a few times. We've been bought by Sirius XM Radio. Everybody knows this. By the car. Basically, the car. One part of the car has bought our podcast that's insane so we're like we have to if we are going to survive in this in this new market

we need to be playing the top contemporary hits of the day that's what we have to do on our podcast now is find a way to do this so i don't understand what you want me to do you just say the shit just say you did this be like yeah that's fine it's good like because we will get in trouble if we just play it we will be in big trouble we we're not allowed to play it we already have gotten in big trouble many times. But if we play it and Lily says, this is my song. Thank you. Now who's in trouble? Now they're in trouble.

Right? Because if she goes, well, that's not Lily's song. But it's like, but Lily did make a song and we played one on here and you said it's yours. So now like, I know I'm not in trouble. Right? Yeah. They might be. Yeah. Or might be. Yeah, or thank you.

You said yeah, but you probably meant like, oh, thanks, because now I'm not in trouble. I just want to make sure people visit my website afterwards. Yeah, well, the domain is so long. Okay. The domain is insanely long, Lily. And I think it's a nice website, and I enjoyed navigating it when I finally got there. But just typing the domain was like half of my Wednesday. It's just for everybody, all the listeners.

It's 9,000 feet high into the mountains you go to move those feet around and jam jam to the sound.com that's long and now that is so obviously this is a big part of the the lyrics of chairlift city where you are where the city i thought initially it was a city where like everyone is riding chairlifts around but in fact it is an entire city built on one seat of a chairlift yeah if you think about i guess because when i fell in love i fell in love on a chairlift and okay um my world began with a bird no with a guy on the chair got a guy sorry stranger i'd never met before. Sorry.

You told me this already. Sorry. He smiled and I thought, wow, we could just build a town right here and I would be fine dying here. So the premise is that you built a town on the seat of the chairlift. The town keeps getting dumped off into the snow.

Do you guys know that song that goes like, Oh, he never returned. No, he never returned. And it's about that guy who's stuck in the subway. Yeah. And he lives his life in the subway and his wife brings him sandwiches. But for some reason, she never brings him a corner to get out of the subway. You know what I'm talking about?

Yeah. His name's charlie and it's actually not funny yeah okay but i'm not saying you're saying it's funny but it's actually but just let's cut it off at the past because you're smiling a little bit as you talk about it and it's actually not funny it's severely fucked up i'm crying honestly i'm crying look this is my version of that song because basically I was saying, I could have stayed on that chairlift. I could have ridden it round and round

for the rest of my life. No, you couldn't. And built a life on that seat with that strange man that I rode the thing with. It's not for... He gets off the chairlift. He ended up getting off,

yeah. And yeah, okay, we didn't really talk. But, for that brief, like, I don't know,

10 minutes, I was like, I live here, this is my life, I could give birth on this thing. We will create a society and a town.

Well, what happens, I mean, in the song and I guess in the story is, of course, you have your skis sort of pointed down when the chairlift gets to the the top and they stick straight into the snow and then it kind of bends you in half and the chairlift like drags your snow

pants up into like a wedgie over your head right and then the guy asked if you need help and you like can't like make words well and i ended up yelling no when i could yeah i just i yelled get away from me no which in retrospect it's like man i really could it's hard to get through down those walls yeah we all have these walls around us i think just society just society teaches me to hate men. And that moment, I really should have just listened to my gut and been like, ask for help.

It would be a flawed ally for sure to be helped by that man. But sometimes that's what's necessary to get you to where you need to go. Yeah, pregnant and stuff. Sure. But here we are talking about your album when really we should be talking about your album. Let's play it again. Let's hear that first line again because I think it was pretty powerful and we could

maybe take a lesson from it. You guys just remember to go to my website when this is all done. Okay. Okay, so, oh, wow, what a way to start it. Like, it's the very first, and it's like, first of all, I'm here in the music, and I go, how's this person doing? Okay, you tell me right away. I should be at ease you're doing good but

then a little cryptic almost you're on some new shit yeah so you're swearing at me badass and you're on some new shit yeah what does that mean to you um vitamins i've been taking different vitamins and feeling way better than usual i have been feeling like i mean they should tell us to take those things they don't tell most people gel caps the little dusty ones. Chewies. Chewies. Chewies. Chewies, gel caps, slammers, hot pops. They can all be chewies. Straight shots, whizzers, crack bangs, kabloomies.

All of the vitamins, you know? I love that. And the juice, the vitamin juice that you just smear all over yourself yeah and i like that it's got the little cotton thing so you can wipe your mouth when you're done yeah that's what those are for for sure you stick them in talk about the vitamins talk about what's inside the vitamins usually i eat um a whole can of the the gummy bear ones and it makes me feel insane um and then i usually i realize like i've actually forgotten to take my birth control so so I'll take however many days I've missed.

Sometimes that's a week. Sometimes that's two weeks. I take all those. At the end, I'm like, okay, well, I don't feel good, but I feel different. Then I'll usually take a big hike or walk. I always forget to bring water, so by the end when I come home I'm like I have diarrhea and

I feel like sick kind of and sure yeah and confused and sort of like angry um and and then like people will be like did you eat and I'll be like no yeah and that's usually when I I just pass out and I sleep for three hours and I come to. That's my new shit. That's some new shit. Let's talk about fairness. You eat 35 gummy vitamins and then you have one birth control pill you send down there. So one gummy bear gets the birth control pill and is like oh i i have one and nobody else does that's fair no but she was saying occasionally she takes 14 of them

that's but that's what i'm saying every gummy bear deserves to have its own birth control pill but the other thing is like if you think about you know the sperm and egg like sometimes they have to fight. And so it's okay that not every gummy bear is going to get a birth control. That's what I tell myself at least those days when I remember to take it. Let's hear the next song, Kevin. This is called Cardigan. Do Quiet. Do Quiet.

Vintage tea, brand new phone. High heels on cobblestones. Do quiet. Vintage tea, brand new form. Oh, wow. High heels on cobblestones. When you are young, they assume you know nothing. Okay. I love to drink vintage tea. This is a little bit, this is a little Lily Del Rey here, isn't it? Am I sensing an influence, a tiny bit of a little a little lily del rey here

yeah she's she's been a huge part of my life um that's you when you're being her right lily del rey is you when you're being her yeah but that's how huge a part of her life yeah this person has been it It is actually her. Yeah. But you're being you now. Well, you know, you never know. Oh, wow. That's cool. She appears, sort of.

I also just like, I don't really know what my lyrics were in that one, but I feel like. Vintage tea. Yeah, vintage tea. Vintage tea. The tea's old, eh? The tea is actually, it's old, but the most important part is that it was owned by a rich person first ah you buy it at a state sale yeah well you go fucking full girl boss on their ass for sure you sell that actually this vintage tea like yeah you like tell them like

how valuable the vintage tea is and just school them and what else did what else did uh did she say after that lyrics wise kevin what'd she say high-heeled shoes on cobblestones uh when you are young they assume you know nothing so when i go to europe which is frequently um i always europe's pretty big i'll go to the west top of it oh okay i was gonna say i haven't seen you there because you go to the top i'm at the top well i'm usually at the the west ah okay is it nice it's beautiful it's It's stunning. Yeah, top's good too. Top's nice. I go to Europe's core. Deep inside Europe's core.

That's awesome. So you go there. You go there. I go to the West. And when you go out in Europe, you got, you know, people eat really late there. Ah, yes. You don't eat until 11, 2 in the morning. You have your dinner.

So then that's usually when I'm like, well, time to get all dolled up. And I put on a big pair of heels. And I just walk around and I listen to what the men say about me while everyone eats their dinners they eat dinner when it's like, when it's light outside? And I don't want to be like, stereotyping, but it's fucked up.

Please don't. No, that's not a stereotype. Just to say something's completely fucked is not a stereotype. Like when we talk about that, we're not stereotyping when we say that that song about the man trapping the subway is like, funny it's fucked that i just want to point out speaking of uh things being sort of fucked up the thing that you're just drinking water out of is actually not a glass

that's a jar and it's for that's for that's for dried beans and other dry goods. It is not for water. Honestly, I don't even want to be here, but I'm helping you guys. And we're helping you. And we don't want to be here, but we're helping you. This kind of grief that you're giving me is absolutely fucked good grief you ever read peanuts do you see the ridges on the top that is for a lid the grief we're giving you is the good grief like some there's grief that's bad grief that you don't want and

then there's good grief that's just like with europe there's like good europe the west and then the rest is bad yeah Yeah. Oh, yeah. So it says someone who's never been to the top. Let's hear another song, man. This one is called The Last Great American Dynasty. Mm. Mm. Mm.

Bing, bing, bing, bing. What's this gonna do? Stop. Who? So Rebecca and I actually aren't close anymore. We had a really big falling out. What was it over? So I had this really pretty low low cut shirt from Reformation.

It's really expensive. And I let her borrow it when we were going out one night. And she didn't give it back to me, which is like fine because that's okay. But then I see her like maybe like a week or two later and I was like, can I get my shirt back from you? And she was like, I don't know which shirt you're talking about. And I was like the low cut Reformation one. It's brand new. I haven't even worn it yet. I can't can I get my shirt back from you and she was like I don't know which shirt you're talking about and I was like the low cut reformation one it's brand new I haven't even worn it yet I can't believe I let you wear it and she goes

well I have to wash it first and so then two months go by and she like goes missing very convenient I have a theory about just from what I know about the way you like to go out with your friends,

I think she may, is it possible that she was stuck in the cobblestones? Like, if you wear heels in the cobblestones, it is possible that, like, when she says she has to wash the shirt, it may be because she's been wearing it for two weeks. She is in the middle of the street. Yeah, it's possible but i've also like i've had friends that that's happened to and they always reach out after like a few weeks so it was weird she may have been dragged off but but you've had friends who that's happened to right yeah exactly and there's an etiquette to that. Yeah. And like this just wasn't that kind of situation.

She full blown went missing. We still don't know where she is. And I'm so pissed at her. I'm sorry that happened. Yeah, that's crazy if she went missing just to keep your shirt. Well, the police say it's worse than that. But at this point, I'm just like, isn't that just what you want the police to think? Yeah, exactly. And regardless, she should have like just given it back on time exactly so it's kind of then even

if she is like hurt or dead it doesn't even matter to me at this point like if she was my friend she would have given me back the shirt the first time yeah so um so this is the last great American dynasty. Mm hmm. Yeah. Your friendship. Mm hmm. Yeah. If you think about it. Yeah. Is this Rebecca Hall? Yeah.

From the town. Yeah, it is. Oh, wow. And that's so that's a little dig at her, too, when you because the second line is like that the day was sunny or whatever. And that's a reference to the famous line in the town where she goes just another one of sunny day that's exactly it she lost her her brother died on a sunny day and so sunny days make her sad and she tells ben affleck that and he's like that's actually cool and then at the end i love ben affleck well it's not actually him in the movie he's being somebody else yeah but still at the end at the end okay yeah at the end

yes she she is calling the guy she's calling ben affleck guy yes and they're but she's not alone they're listening they're listening yeah and she's and she's and they're but she's not alone they're listening they're listening yeah and she's and she's and they're like tell him to come here and we and you will get over yeah well then we'll get be able to get him but she says and she said and she says okay come over here yeah she does yeah and he says and she's like i can't wait to see you it'll be just like one of my sunny days okay and so he knows and so he knows that that's a clue but they're yes but you that they're waiting after because it's not actually the end it's the end but it's not the total end because the end at the end then john uh goes uh our friend john is like oh sunny oh another one of your sunny days huh and then he just looks

and he goes you know the fbi is huge right whoa yeah we should have asked him when he did the show why he thought that was a normal thing for her to say is Is this Jon Hamm? Yeah, he did the show. Wow, you guys get really big people on here. Used to. Again, I don't even want to be here. Hollywood Hamburg.

Be a better you in 2024 with Babbel, the science-backed language learning app that actually works. Don't pay hundreds of dollars for private tutors or waste hours on apps that don't really help you speak the language. And the question that I always get, people stop me and they say like, hey, I trust you. I know like you when you endorse a product it's something that you really use and care about but there's one language that

I'm trying to learn and that's body language so can Babbel teach me body language yes Babbel now has visual in-person lessons. Part of their quick 10-minute lessons that they do for other languages handcrafted by over 200 language experts to help you start speaking a new language in as little as three weeks. Babbel is designed by real people for real conversations, and that includes body-based conversations. What does it mean when you drop someone off after a nice date and they turn around at the door

and they take their little index finger and they kind of like draw it towards them? They're pulling it. What does that mean? Does their finger hurt? I wonder if they spotted a spider web or something. They're trying to pull down the spider web. Yeah.

But I've seen this too after a lot of dates and i need i need and have needed something like babble to figure out what the heck is this person doing with their finger because it looks like a it looks like an emergency i know i was supposed to do something or how about those people that stand in the street they're kind of like they've got like almost like police clothes on it may be almost yeah and they're standing in the middle and as i'm driving and i'm cruising they're holding their hand up for like a high five almost and And they're really aggressively pushing it out. And I'm like, am I supposed to pull over, get out of the car and high five? Or just do it out the window as I'm going? That's what I've been doing.

That seems dangerous. But some of these very subtle body language cues have escaped me and many listeners, I'm sure. Babbel's tips and tools are approachable, accessible, rooted in real life situations, which I have all the time, and delivered with conversation-based teaching so you're ready to practice what you've learned in the real world.

Hollywood ham. Play another song, Kevin. This is called Exile featuring Boney Vare. I can see you standing Who's that?

It's Bon That's Bon? That's not Bon That's Bon That's not Bon Bon sounds like this Come on skinny love Just last year

I asked him to change his tune Literally My my my My my my My my I asked him to change his tune, literally. What'd he say? He said, okay. And I said, yeah, damn right. No, what'd he say in the song? What'd he say? I can't even hear Bun when he sounds like this.

And then he was like, well, I'm going to have to change some of the lyrics. I said, well, since when? This is my song. He said, well, this is what I want to say. He wanted to say something about trees. I was like, I don't think so. Come on. So instead, he says what he says, which is, could you play it again, Kevin?

Of course. Not the whole beginning part. It was so boring. I can see you standing, honey. I can see you standing, honey. I can see you standing, honey. Yeah, that's not Bond, man. That ain't Bond, dude.

Bond sounds like this. I can see from miles, miles, miles. The original lyrics were actually I can see you stand uh buddy and he said couldn't we change it to honey and i said that's weird yeah i call everybody like all the guys i date like buddy sport champ ace i've heard you call guys ace a lot. Killer. I hear you say killer.

Spud. Spud killer. Yeah. Boss. Big boy. So he said, can we change it to honey? I said, well, we'll see. And I slept on it and then i said okay

oh the story that's the story with that story really kind of petered out but what are you talking about that's a good story okay let's hear the next song we have to get through so many more of these this is called my tears ricochet okay yeah can't help but sing we're gonna run out of time on this okay so i'm hearing a little lily del rey here am i mistaken no you know you're not lana actually reached out to me

and was kind of accusatory you know did you why are you gonna talk why are you singing like that taking my lyrics and i was like they're not your lyrics. They're just words. And then I said, well, my lawyers will be in touch. You're suing her now. That's what she gets for calling you. When you start telling a story, now I'm always primed for it to end with like, oh, and then she said okay.

So, well, yeah, so I said, my lawyers will be in touch, and she said, okay. So, well, yeah. So I said, my lawyers will be in touch. And she said, okay. And did they get in touch? No, they were like, you can't sue her. Oh. And did she sue you? Yeah.

Yeah. What does it mean, my tears ricochet? And imagine if you could fire your tears that's that's my x-men power oh that would be so cool as i just get so sad and i can curve my tears around corners yes i yes like with the bullet and wanted and i just stand right in front of me and hang on i'm gonna shoot this guy behind me with my tears and And all I have to do is just think about something so sad and I can save everyone. That's beautiful.

Yeah, well, it's kind of a hard life, but I care about the humanity. So even though I'm a mutant, I have to freaking keep myself sad all the time. Oh, I'm sorry. I hear that. No, you're not. Oh.

The tears ricochet line for me is, you know when you're dating somebody and they're like, it's my birthday and they're having a party and you're like, Happy birthday, slick. know. Happy birthday, slick.

That's what you said. Yeah. Happy birthday, my buddies, my big, big buddy. When you're at their birthday and all their friends are there and you don't like their friends and you're not having a good time

and you're kind of like, well, I think I'm going to just be sulky and pouty about it. Yeah. And so you kind kind of like, well, I think I'm going to just like kind of be sulky and like pouty about it. Yeah. And so you kind of are like staring at your buddy and you're kind of being like moody and unhappy. Yeah. You're trying to ruin everything, but they sort of seem to be having a good time still. Yeah.

And then finally you catch their eye and you're like staring at them and your eyes are all watery and you look so miserable and they're like what what's wrong what and you're like i just don't feel good i feel like shit right now and i need to go home and they're like but it's my birthday and you're like but i just wanna like i need to lay down i have a headache and i i took so many vitamins and i feel sick yeah and they're like well okay but like i guess i'll walk i'll walk you home but i'm gonna come back at the end and so you're like okay that's fine and then you get home and that's when you start to just like bawl your fucking eyes out and they have to stay and they have to like lay with you and comfort you while you guys watch a movie.

That to me is when tears, Bridget Jones's diary. Yes. That to me is when tears ricochet. You go throw on BJD for me, chief. BJD too. You had to do it to him.

You didn't have to go that hard, Lily. I have to go hard. That's all I can do. I have one speed. So your buddy, he lays with you. And you just, the couch gets so wet with your tears. But that's love. And how are they ricocheting?

Because I know the tears part I've heard a lot about. Because he starts crying too because he's missing his birthday. So it's like your tears have bounced off of you and onto him. Yeah. And it's just this big cycle.

And now you're not crying anymore. You're happy watching the funny movie. Exactly. You got what you wanted. That's a beautiful tale of that song. Okay, we have to hear another song now, Kevin. I think we have like nine more songs. This is called Mirrorball.

I really like these slow intros. Almost like a Lily Crow sound here. Doesn't it feel? It does feel like a Lily Crow crow sound here doesn't it feel it does feel like a lily crow is yeah talk about the original title for this song mirrorball a true underdog story um um mirrorball is um when it is based on when i used to go and see this um man who would tell like fortunes to me and my friends and we look into this like ball thing and he would be like your life is not gonna be good and i would be like what your life is not going to be good. And I would be like, what? That's fucked. And my friends would be like, you're going to be rich.

And you're going to be like, you're going to be. Yeah, marry a prince. Yeah, that kind of stuff. And so one day I grabbed the ball and I ran. I just ran and I ran. And by the time I made it to the top of the hike. In place or? No, I ran up.

I ran up Griffith Park, actually, to the observatory. It's really hard. Oh, wow. La La Land. And I overlooked all of LA and I said, I'll show you. I'm going to make it in this town and I have wow

once again the story that did very abruptly not as much conflict in it as you would normally see in a story and my friends called me and they said okay

they just called you and me and they said okay they just they called you and said okay they said okay okay that doesn't explain the subtitle real i mean i guess it kind of does doesn't well you're an underdog yeah doesn't it like the line in the song that says if you can mirror a wrench you can rear mirror ball there's just like none of it if you can mirror a wrench you can rear mirror a ball there's just like none of it if you can mirror a wrench you can mirror a wrench you can mirror a ball so i think that just means um you can't know what your reflection is going to look like you don't know what your body is going to look like every day and to try and decide today i want to look like a ball or to say i want to look like every day. And to try and decide today I want to look like a ball or today I want to look like a wrench.

Yeah. That's not possible. So that's that one. What's the next song, Kevin? This next one is called Seven. And then we have to go home. Yeah. What? I really have to get home. After this we have to

go home. We have to get home. You guys are home. Maybe we can speed through some of these. Okay. This one's called Seven. This one started too fast. Are you playing it fast, Kevin? Was that the very beginning?

That's beginning normal speed. Please picture me. Okay. Was that the very beginning? That's beginning normal speed. Please picture me. Picture me. Is this about... So what are you talking about? Picture me on, you know, all the time. Let's skip this one. This next one is called August.

That's when I was born. That's my birth month oh paradox okay it's time to skip it and it's number eight when august is the eighth one okay this next one is called this is me trying this one i definitely wrote i've worked so hard on this one i'm not talking because they skipped mine you skipped my birth month on purpose and so i skip you and i skip talking to you for the I have worked so hard on this one. I'm not talking because they skipped mine. You skipped my birth month on purpose. And so I skip you and I skip talking to you for the rest of the episode. I do.

Yeah, you hear me? I'm doing you guys a favor being here. I'm doing you a favor. Did you listen to the freaking album you sent us? This is real music we're playing. I had other plans today. I was supposed to have a bunch of vitamins and go for a hike. And this is the kind of payment I get?

Oh, please. This is the respect I get? You vitamin hike in this weather, you end up like freaking Rebecca, just missing off the planet. How dare you bring her up? She's fucking dead to me. You don't even like her. She's dead to me. That top was $150.

Low cut, puffy sleeves. It sounds stunning. Okay, all right. All right. Look, this got pretty heated. I'm going to be the bigger person here. And? I'm prepared to accept your apology.

This is sick but just like who's doing who a favor the album the album isn't even in my fucking album no but the album no but if people want to hear it the thing you sent us is like unintelligible it's very and what you can hear is like very corny. All the songs are about skiing. Not true. Some of the songs are about bluegrass music in the summer. And working that crap through stands. No, one of the songs is about that. And the narrator of that song really misses skiing

and can't wait for it to get cold again. Working that crap through stands. So to me, that's still about it. With all the different types of beer, all these bearded men asking me what's in this one. Is it hops? That is the best song you have. But then you rhyme beer with I can't wait for the snow to get back here.

God, I'm going to ski. Tee hee hee, tee heehee teehee which you do rhyme with ski in every song you rhyme it with teehee gonna be skiing teehee gonna be snowboarding we are doing you a favor people want to hear what we're playing and for you to say it's yours that's big bucks i mean this is just like this is not what i had in mind bye oh thank you so much goodbye and thank you of course to taylor swift okay so i leave now yeah you think okay Hollywood Handbook that was a hate gum podcast
