She has spent years as the voice. voice behind the hits before becoming a star in her own right. She was recently nominated for a VMA and recently released her fourth studio album, Dirty Blonde. BB Rex is here in real life today.

Brungy. I know. We're like friends already, right? Yeah, because I feel like I know you because I always used to listen to you on the radio. You did? Growing up, yeah. Because you're a New York girl. I was kind of nervous coming until I did my research.

And I was like, she's a girl's girl. Yeah, of course. But I feel like back in the day, I was kind of scared, you know? Scared more. Because you always just spoke your mind. That's what I loved about you. Yeah. And...

So cute. I always wanted to do a... I know, but, you know, being not a hip-hop artist, I always wanted to be on Hot 97. I wanted to be thrown into the ringer. You know what I mean? I loved it. We did other artists back then. You could have totally made it up there.

Really? Of course. And you're in New Yorker. You have a vibe. You have a fit right in. But also, like, I'm kind of the type of person where I like that, like, energy where people just ask me whatever they want. Yeah.

Go straight into it. Yeah. Like bring me anything. I don't care. Well, I'm an energy girl for sure. So I can tell the second that you walked in today, I was like, oh, we're going to like each other. Okay, good. You know what you're saying?

Yeah. It's just energy. I feel like I knew you already, so. No, yeah. And you are, wait, you grew up in Staten Island. Yes. But I was born in Brooklyn. Born in Brooklyn.

Yeah. So I grew up in Brooklyn. I was born in the Bronx. I feel like I kind of grew up in Brooklyn, though, because my grandfather was a super. Oh. My grandmother was a super. No way. I swear to God.

My grandfather was a super. Washington Heights. He was in Bay Ridge. He was a super in Bay Ridge. They had a massive building. Like a, you know, whatever. Yeah. And they gave him, like, the basement apartment.

My mom's going to kill me. But they gave him the basement apartment for free. But imagine he had eight kids. They had eight kids and, like, two bedrooms. But we would sleep. Honestly, we'd go visit my grandma and grandpa. We would sleep on the floor. In Brooklyn.

Yeah, we'd sleep on the floor. They had, like, these little mattresses, sleep on the floor. We just put pillows and blankets. That's funny. Those were the best. days. What about Staten Island?

Because Staten Island is, I've lived in Queens, Brooklyn, I've lived in all the boroughs of New York. Staten Island is the only place that have never lived. I know. It's a forgotten borough. I know. What could you tell us about growing up in Staten Island? Growing up in Staten Island?

I don't know, because I have some, you know, I was always just kind of working on music in my parents' basement. So I never really went. I didn't go to prom. You weren't in the streets? I didn't show up to graduation. Oh, nothing. If I went anywhere, I was always on 125th Street at the studio.

In Harlem. Yeah, in Harlem. Yeah. So I would take like the ferry to the, I would take the train to the ferry, four or five train up to one 20, 125. And you're how old at this time? 20 in my early 20s, maybe 19, 17, 18, 19 all the way up to my 20s. And you already knew, but you knew sooner than that, right? You knew that this was what you. Oh, yeah. Like in school, everybody would be like, oh, I want to be a singer. I want to be this. I want to be that. And I was like, I just knew. Even at like this age of eight. So were you saying it or you were just quiet knowing? I knew it in my gut.

Yeah. I was like, I'm doing this. I don't care. But you had already discovered your voice, right? Like you- It was okay. I feel like my songwriting was always better, and I had to grow into my voice.

Wait, so will you, I know you got an award early, but were you writing that young, like at eight years old? Oh, yeah. About love. Who did you love? I didn't laugh at me when I was like 11, 12 or whatever. I loved, I don't know, somehow I got into, like, until LimeWire and fell into, like, Neo-Sol.

So I started writing, like, Neo-Sol songs. I bought, like, a piano for you. from Costco for like 100 something books. I begged my parents. And I was just writing me all soul stuff. But like what? What were you singing about? Well, you know I love you.

You know I really do. Every time I see your face, for more in love with you. Like, it's like- At eight? No, at eight, like 11, 12. Oh, still, that's crazy. Yeah.

That sounds like a little hit right there. I don't know, maybe back in the day, you know, but yeah, so it was fun. Did you just, was that a real song that you just? Yeah, that's what I wrote. Oh, yeah. On piano. That's the actual song.

Yes. Boy, I really love you. Who would you loving at that age? Nobody. Maybe a crush. Yeah. Had anybody in your family had a gift like that? Or was this like a new thing that popped out of nowhere?

Honestly, back in the day, my dad used to joke around with his opera voice, like as a joke, but it was actually pretty good. Yeah. Oh, okay. So there was something in there. Minus the bad accent. Yeah. The Albanian accent. But he had something.

He had something. Yeah. But you were the first one to discover, like, I have this. Oh, I was the first one to go for it. Yeah. You know? It's interesting, though, too, because, you know, at that young age, people are not aspiring to be writers or songwriters or write songs as much.

I didn't want to, though, low-key. In the beginning, I just wanted to be a singer and be famous. And then I met this lady, Samantha Cox on a BMI. Yeah. With Samantha Cox, like, worked with Gaga back in the day in Kesha. So they were having a moment. And I remember her being like, you can't just be a singer. Like, you need to be a songwriter.

So she made me do all these, like, writing classes. And I was like a teenager with like 40, 50 year olds in the room who were like amazing pianists and like the best songwriters. And I was kind of like forced into it. So like every week we would write a song and be forced to sing it in front of people. Wow. Yeah. So that's actually like a skill set that you could learn versus like a gift that you just have been given or a little bit of both probably. A little bit of both.

Yeah. But I also feel like it's more so like going in the room and just not like because you're in a room. I always say like writing sessions or like if you and me were to get in a room, we have to kind of create something from thin air. But it's also almost like an energy like a dating like a marriage. So if you don't trust me or I don't trust you or we don't in a sense of like not opening up to each other. Like for me if I don't like something, I'm like, no, I think we could beat that. And some people are quiet about it. But that doesn't, that's not for the best of the song.

Because the way that the song becomes special is when we're honest with each other. I think that lyric could be better, but you have to also have the confidence to just say what you want. Even if it sounds stupid. This is like good in real life too, by the way. Really?

Yeah, because imagine if we can have all of our friendships or our romantic relationships with that honest, that you could actually get to a greater place because, yeah, I don't really like when you do that. I know, imagine? I mean, I do that. You do? Yeah, I don't really have that many friends,

but I also say the friends that I do have are like the ones I want. Well, that's my point exactly. Because they love me for who I am. Who wants the ones that are there? You know, I'm learning with age and I don't know if you feel this way that I compartmentalize people.

Like there are some people that I like to party with. Yeah. And like go out with, they're a good time, they're fun. But when it comes to like daily stuff, they're toxic. Or there's some people that you love that are like, they're just always complaining to. And I'm like, what am I? Like, where should I send the invoice?

I mean? Like, where do I send the invoice? You always have a problem, yes. Yeah, because to me, it's like, I feel like everything in life is about transaction. But there's different types of transaction, right? Like, if you and me are friends and you come to me with your problems, I come to you with my problems, then that's an equal transaction. But if I'm just coming to you with all my problems and I never want to listen to your problems

or be there for you when you need me, then, like, what's that? And that goes for relationships too. It could be physical. Men could probably want, you know, the man wants to be. woman because she looks good, the woman wants the man because he makes a lot of money. So how could that be wrong? Transactional. Physical.

Yeah. Yeah, but then what happens that woman usually wants more? They think all they want is that. But then they get mad because he's doing this or he's cheating. He wants time. He wants time or she wants, you know, you start wanting more. I say everything in life is choices. Like when people complain, I'm like, you have a choice because we forget.

Like, you have a choice. You don't got to stay in that relationship. But sometimes we like, we got to be honest with ourselves. We like the toxicity. the entertainment. Do you like it? Sometimes. You're giving that you might like it a little bit.

I like it when I'm like, I like it if I'm in like a good headspace. And I know what it's for. But when you let yourself fall too deep and it's toxic, because really everything's about it. Yeah. I've been there. Yeah, you have.

Yeah. It probably makes some good songs. It does. It does. What are your most, what songs have you created under the most? kind of distress of a breakup or a bad relationship. Or not even a breakup, like to go all the way back, like the monster, Eminem and Rihanna.

I was signed to Island through L.A. Reed, but really decadence records through Pete Wentz. It was a distribution deal. And I had gotten dropped, but I had to beg to get dropped. They didn't want to drop me. You want it out. So what you do is like you want to go, but like, in a sense, they don't want to let go of you because they're like, what if something happens with this person, then we're going to regret it. It doesn't look good on our behalf.

But honestly, I went through like, I got crazy. What do you mean? I was like, I'm depressed. This is going to be, you're going to have blood on your hands. I don't care. I'm like, I got very New York with them. And they're like, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. They dropped me.

I sent a whole crazy letter. Because I was like, what am I going to just get stuck in this? Yeah. I was always a fighter from the beginning. So when they drop me, well, they didn't even drop me. They kind of went silent on me. You know how it is. You have all these people on your team picking up your calls.

You have like a family. You think they're a family. And I'm 19. So I'm thinking, oh my gosh. Like, you know, my dreams are going to come true. And things happen. I have no bad blood for anybody. I just know how this industry is now.

But that was hard for me. I couldn't process that because I was like, yo, I was like, I thought these people loved me. I thought they believed in me. And I'm calling my product manager. I'm calling my label person. management, no answers. So then I got really into like a darker headspace. And that's when we wrote the monster. Because I found a really amazing quote that said, we stopped looking for the monsters under our beds when we realize they're inside of us. So that was like a very tough time. But I remember

going to the studio on 125th. And the second I left the studio was like 1 a.m. I had to go get the ferry because the bus stopped running. And it started snowing. I remember that night so very, vividly. I was in my big North Face puffer with, you know, with the fur and walking to the train station and it was snowing and I was like, I can't tell you the high I was on. I was like, wow. I was like, we really wrote something special. Was it for M at that point already or no? It was for my, like, remember back in the day when they did EPKs. They were three, four songs. And I remember playing that. But I was also like trying to find my sound and like find who I was. I remember playing that for one big executive and he was like, there's something he,

here. But then I never heard from him again. You know what I was saying? Well, I'm going to keep it honest. It was so funny. I was just, I was never like, you know, I was always trying to find my identity, I think, in this whole process. So, wait, when, how did them get, find that? So when I was in the studio, I don't know what came over me. I'm very big on energy and on like, you know, whatever you want to believe in God, spiritual, something came over me when we were writing the hook and I said we had not even written the verses yet and I told the producer I said I feel like this could be an M&M song I really do I said it out of nowhere out of nowhere and I'm always like this more hyper person I was like super excited to be in the studio

like jumping off the walls and he was like maybe let's focus let's get the verses down he's like let's just you know what I mean and I planted that in his head and I and then he sent to to Riggs Morales and Riggs sent it to Eminem. Wow. And I heard nothing. And then they wanted the files. And then for a year I heard nothing. Silence.

Until he posted the track list on his Instagram. Right. I was like, yeah. I'm going to finally make some money, you know? How does that change your life that moment? It changed my life because then I was able to get a publishing deal. And then I could actually like move to L.A. and get, you know, a studio apartment.

You know, growing up in New York, I was like, I want a studio apartment. I need to be able to see the door. You know, I don't like a big space, you know. You know how to get out? Yeah, I want to see if somebody breaks in or whatever, you know. But it helped kind of give me a... A push, probably right? A push.

Like, it gave me a little bit more confidence. I feel like confidence is really big. And it also had people in the industry taking me more seriously, so it opened up more doors to write with other big. bigger producers than writers. Yeah. Because that's the hardest part. Because in the beginning, I was going at Connecticut.

I was going to Jersey. I was writing in New York at the time. You have to understand that, like, everybody was already kind of in L.A. Besides Stargate was still in New York. And then Benny Blanco was still in New York. But I was still not big enough to be working with them at the time. And everybody was heading to L.A. So all the people that were really here were all the hip-hop producers.

So. They were all here. Like I worked with Omen a lot. May he rest in peace. He passed away. That was hard for me because he really believed in me. But I was just writing with all the hip hop producers. That's good. It was good because it taught me like, you know, it taught me different things. But then also it's to get hip hop producers to make pop is very hard.

You're going to get more rhythmic, you know. And you know that already. I think I think growing up in New York and also my Albanian background, that came kind of second nature to me. Yeah. You know. When you say your Albanian background. background. How has that been instrumental? Like, how like that? Because, you know, I love the video, by the way. Oh, yeah. It's so cute.

Well, we love that. We don't see that a lot. Well, you know why. What is that? I think, I don't know if other people have felt this, but I feel like with different cultures in the, in America. And like when I was growing up, like, especially all the pop stars, everybody felt very like from the South or like, you know, American. Blonde hair, blue eyes. Or Latin. There was a lot of Latin. Yeah, there was Latin. So maybe it's a little different. But during the time where I was growing up, it wasn't really cool. Like, nobody wanted, like, unless you were, like, certain races, it wasn't, like, I didn't want to. I was embarrassed by it. I know that sounds weird.

No, I get it. But I think after, like, especially, like, in New York, growing up in New York, especially after 9-11 and everything, I feel like there was a different narrative. And towards different cultures in New York. That's interesting because normally when you think of New York pre-9-11 especially, it's like a melting pot. It's like one of the most beautiful things about New York is that you get to know different culture. I feel like if you don't fit, like if you don't fit in a specific box,

it's just like kind of like I always say like when you go get McDonald's anywhere in the world, a franchise taste the same. And I feel like as human beings, we like we like that comfort. So for me it's like I never really fit in a box. because I grew up, the Albanian culture is like, you know, we have like Lodra, like we dance to like just drums, you know, it's a mix of like, you know, we were overtaken by the Turkish Ottoman Empire, but then we have like a little bit of Greek and it's like, you know, that kind of we're in that region. So it's Balkan. We're Balkan, you know, there's not a lot of balkin in the industry and pop. So that was a little bit of a different thing.

And I think my dad being an immigrant with what? with almost six kids, five, six kids. I've heard stories you tell stories about them not really understanding what you wanted to do at all at the beginning of this, right? And I think about that, like your dad probably came here with these big dreams or dreams of like what, like that you should be...

A doctor, a lawyer, you know? Which now I get, as I'm getting older, because I'm like, damn, I wish we had a doctor or a lawyer in the family. You know what I mean? Because they could just speak a little different, you know? Yeah. But I chose the opposite.

And he was just, I think he was scared. Because that's what they, you know, they see in the media. Drug, sex, rock and roll, which is, that's basically what it is. I mean, it's not a lie, Dad. It's not a lie, but it's about how you raise. I think they raised me pretty well. Yeah. They must be so proud.

Yeah, now they are. Yeah. And in the beginning, my dad was really nervous. Really? Yeah. I think it was more so like what he saw, like, growing up and like more so the perception because the Albanian community is really tight-knit. And everybody's like, watch, you know, be careful.

She's going to L.A. But thank God I never, you know, fell into anything crazy. When did you decide that, because you mentioned when you were younger that you were almost like embarrassed. Of course. About that. I struggled. I feel like I struggled for the longest time. Like, because I feel like I had this Albanian girl in me.

Whereas like, you know, I was kind of raised more like old school traditional. Like learned how to make coffee young. Like when you, like it's changed now obviously. Now we're in America. But back in the day. It was like, you know, you were raised to like be the perfect bride. The perfect, it's still like, you know, the perfect bride, like cleaning, cooking, you know, very old school vibes. So I was kind of on the outskirts of that, but I still wanted to be like a good daughter.

And I struggle with like being Albanian and then like wanting to be, you know, more American and like a pop star and then trying to find like an in between. And I think now in this era, I'm like, I even want to incorporate more sounds for my culture. There's actually an uprising and like Balkan dance coming up. It's cool. That's fine. Yeah, it's really sick. Hey, everyone. It's the Jonas Brothers with the Hey Jonas Podcast.

We've been catching up with some great friends, Paul Rudd, Michael Bublay, Seth Myers, Nile Horan, Jake Shane. And making some new friends while getting into what's really like to have sisters, like Alex and Ashton Earl. She likes to control everyone and tell everyone. Okay, well, control is a harsh word. I would say that's a harsh word. I am more outspoken. Growing up a lot of the times because she was so. So quiet.

I would speak for like the both of us. Now I'm working on like thinking a moment, reeling it. Not controlling a man. And Joey King. You know if you're like mom is yelling at your sibling and even if you're annoyed with your sibling, you just like won't let that slide. It's like only you can yell at your sibling. I'm like, you can't do that here.

That is. You want to talk about her like that. Only I talk about her like that. Plus we've been taking your calls listening to your voicemails and giving advice. Or at least trying to. So if you've got catch. up to do now is the perfect time. Listen to Hey Jonas on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The improvised character comedy podcast where each week a new panel of artists discuss their craft. Join us for a panel of wellness influencers. What I try to do is faux journal.

I don't know. Have you guys heard of faux journaling? Yeah. It's reading. it's called reading. So we don't like to use that word anymore. Okay. A panel of New Yorker cartoonists.

Have you guys done Terry Gross's Peloton class? No! I've been dying too. I'm so sorry. I'm seeing a reading of Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes by Audra McDonald's at the Wonderland Bookstore on 14. That's crazy. I went to the Wonderland Bookstore yesterday and I heard Nora Jones do a reading of Zero Dark 30. No way.

You have to come to the last bookstore, though. Kim Cottrell is reading the guitar tab. of yesterday. A panel of Eurovision participants. And we do a little Halloween sometimes. Does the Pope dress up? He winks on Halloween. It's right up next to the microphone.

I hear you can almost hear the eyelashes hit each other. You never seen Italy so quiet as when the Pope gets up to wink on Halloween. Listen to artists on artists on artists on artists on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. If your bookshelf and your for you page are equally important, to your personality, welcome home. This is Prose Society, the weekly podcast that's part book club, part group chat for thought daughters, pop culture obsessives, and anyone who thinks Pride and Prejudice and Love Island

deserve the same level of discourse. I'm Eli Rallo and every week we're connecting the dots between books, the internet, and the conversations everyone can't stop having. I'm going to have to look up this story. I'm obsessed, so obsessed. From bestselling authors and your favorite book talk creators to the latest pop culture moments, nothing is off the table. It's like if you can hide some real messages inside compelling characters, then that is a Trojan horse. Whether you're looking for literary

deep dives, smart pop culture conversations, or a community of readers who love to think a little too much, you're in the right place. Listen to pro society on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. See you between the pages. On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinero, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first.

I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people and they were like, you smiled at us Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah. But yeah, I was, I wasn't.

Was it something that happened or just over time? I think over time, it's like my dad never spoke perfect English and that wasn't like cool back in the day, you know, and he would get nervous. And then like everybody would have their parents come to school and somebody was a doctor or a lawyer. And I was like, my dad's, you know, works at a pizza shop and he does construction, you know. And then now I'm like, I wish I would have been more proud. I'm proud of them, though. I wouldn't be here without them.

Yeah. You know. That's beautiful. I'm sure they're really proud. So where are you now, right? You had success. You have the support of your family at this point. You have you've had Grammy nominations. You have a VMA nomination. Congratulations, by the way. I'm so excited. That's a good one, right? Yeah. It's so fun. Going to the red carpet, wearing something silly. Why is it got to be silly? Not silly, but like you could be a little bit more fun. You don't got to be so classic. You could have a little butt cheek out. You could have a little something, something. Is that the plan? I don't know about that. But maybe. We'll see. They say show your best asset.

What is your best asset? I think my best asset has been my butt. But I'm not going to lie. I haven't been able to do the, you know, I used to do a lot of weights. And then I stopped being on when I'm on the road, but I got to get back on it. And what's on my best asset? My butt, my personality, my tithes. They're perky.

You're so funny. All right, guys, you know what is so funny? Hip-hop fans can literally debate anything. They can debate the best rapper, best era of hip-hop, the best album, and it gets serious these conversations. And now Sprite is giving us a whole new argument. It is the Sprite Living Track List. It's 50 songs that help shape hip-hop culture from rap legends

to the hottest artist carrying the hip-hop torch today. But the coolest part isn't just the tracks. It's the stories behind them. The lyrics, the moments, the impact, and plenty to argue about. a full Sprite Living Tracklist and break down the stories behind your favorite bars at livingtracklist.gienius.com. This is the Sprite Living Tracklist and it's so much fun. Obey your thirst.

Behind the bars is presented by Sprite. California Love. Wow. This was a tricky song because it was so fire. The video was so good and there was so much tension in New York. As soon as I landed, it was like in my face and, you know, it was like, I loved it so much. but I wasn't sure if we were supposed to love it. An enemy territory? It was never an enemy.

But the Tetris were weird at that time, but the song was so good and it was so impactful. And it was, you know, just really. It further cemented West Coast. Yeah, for sure. I mean, they were already on fire with, you know, they had a whole run already. But I don't know, it just was a moment.

You think that it kind of cut through? Because there's like, there's hip-hop fans. But then there's songs. in hip-hop that, like, even if you're not a hip-hop fan, you know this one song. I feel like California love is that. It's also like a song, there's just certain songs that represent your set. Like, where are you from? And then every now and then a song is so good that even if you're not from there.

Word. Or, you know, like a song where it's like Queens or, you know, it's just like, when you hear shook ones, you might not be from Queens, but you feel that like you're from Queens. And I feel like California love is one of those songs where, like, even if you weren't from California. You just felt that familiar energy. It just felt like you wanted to claim that.

Like it was that good. And the video was crazy. And yeah, just for me, it definitely takes me back to a moment for sure. Yeah, for sure. Where were you? Infancy. Yeah. Born?

I was definitely not even a teenager. I don't even think I was a preteen at that time. And you have no recollection of the song or you do? I don't have right. Okay, this is where I have only recollection from TV shows. Shut up. Yes, from TV shows or movies. And I'm like, oh, that song is from this movie.

Oh, my God. I want to punch you right now. It sounds familiar. Right. But I wasn't like downloading it on my iPod. Well, because there was no downloading of iPods. Not during the time it came out. What the song came out?

People still play it. Yeah. But I just wasn't, I wasn't a part of that moment of when it actually came out. When it actually happened? Wait, did the video like premiere on MTV? No, it was like, it was just huge. It was like, it was a major motion picture, the video. Go back and do some research, please, today.

If nothing else from this list and these songs, if there are songs on this list that you guys don't know, they're on the list for a reason. Like, every song, there's a reason. So do a little research. At the very least, it'll be fun to kind of go down just some, yeah, just some historic. Yeah, just some historic moments because obviously they are there for a reason. So whether it was like the video was incredible, the dance was incredible or for some other reason, these songs all just made such an impact that it'd be worth. If it's a song that you don't know or it wasn't like your era, it's a good place to start.

Just being put on to something different. The beat is definitely legendary. Like there was many a ringtone, many a ringtone. Yeah, I forgot about the ring. For sure. Remember you used to have to download. The ringtone. You used to have to buy your ringtones. They were low-key annoying, though, right?

Like, they were. I love a customization. Yeah, but I don't want to hear everybody else's is the problem. Your own is fine. But having to hear other people's ringtones, I didn't always want to hear that. No. But I find it annoying. What is this five people in the room?

And five people got different ringtones. You liked that? You wanted to hear that? Yeah, because it tells you about the person. Hmm. If the person's cool and got good taste. Anyways, tune in. the Sprite Living Tracklist. Check out the Sprite Living Tracklist and break down the stories behind your

favorite bars. The link is in our show notes. So you can check that out. This is the Sprite Living Tracklist. Obey your thirst. How about you? What's your best asset? What is my best asset? I think your teeth are gorgeous. Okay. I keep looking at them. Thank you. All right. Your eyes. Your nose. You have a cute nose. You have a cute nose. I have a good nose. My friend Adrian always thinks I had a nose job. I have to show her like baby pictures. You didn't get a nose job? Never, I swear. Never did it. People said for me, I don't got a nose job.

I don't got a nose job. This is my nose. This is God. This is God. God. This is God's work. Yeah, God's work. I also have really good nail beds.

Okay. I need a manicure right now. My nail beds. Really good nail beds? My nail beds are okay. Really? Yeah. What else do I like?

I like that I like that I'm a very honest person. I love that. Yeah. That's more a character, I guess, than an asset, right? No, that's a good thing. Yeah. You mean attributes? I don't know anything.

What do I like? This is such a good question. I don't know. I should like more. Yeah, you do. You're a great speaker. You seem kind. Am I great?

I'm honest. I'm an honest person for sure. Sometimes good and bad. I like it. As we said, this is our unapologics. You got to get it out. You know, I feel like as I'm, you know,

growing older or wiser, I feel like I'm kind of, and it's true. My mom's like, just wait, you know. I kind of am getting to a place where I'm like, I don't got time for it. Mm-hmm. Like if they...

It really is good. You know, it really is a good place. If you're not, You're not bringing good vibes to my life or like, you know what I want good. I want to have fun. I don't want to be like, like deal with people. You made a post of December.

I'm looking for your baby daddy. Oh, gosh. I'm not found one. You haven't, but let me find it. I got to find the car because I have specific questions about it. Here it is. Mission. Find my baby daddy.

Do you want a baby daddy or do you want a husband? Do you want a boyfriend? What is it exactly? I don't know. You don't know. Really? I just want to find somebody like and be with somebody who I don't know. I just want to, you know like when you could talk somebody for hours. Yes. And they're a bestie.

Mm-hmm. That vibe. You want a bestie. I want a bestie. But he also should be, you're okay with his looks being a six or a seven. Yes. You're not being on a, he doesn't have to be like a model. Because nah. Right. I don't, I mean like if somebody, if God wants to bring me a model, I'm fine with that. Like I'm not against it, but I'm not saying like that's not my main thing. When I was younger, that was different. I want it tall and this and that. And now I'm like, it's not really about that. He's got to be what?

Let's see. He's got to be taller than you. Yeah, a little. Like, I don't mind a short king. They got to feel tall. Yes. But here you said 5-8 and up. Yeah.

Excuse me. Okay. So 5-7 is out. He would have to be extraordinary. Could he stand tall on his money? Oh, please. But can I tell you a lot of men, a lot of men, and I feel even on my end, We'll be like, you know, they always are worried about a gold digger.

And I'm like, what is there to gold dig? What is there to gold dig? I don't see nothing. What? Because you bought me a $200 dinner. You know what I mean? So it's like, unless you're coming at me with, you know, I don't know what. Like, what would it take?

Bags and jewelry. I don't know. I don't know. Cars. I don't know. Because can I be honest? I could buy that for myself. I could fly private if I want myself.

I can take myself on. I've done it all. Take myself on vacation, get my own burkin, buy my own jewelry. I don't look at the price. I don't care. But now I'm like, that doesn't really matter. You know? I think money is important from what I've learned for me personally, for comfort.

And like, God forbid something happens. I had a cousin who he's so much better now, thank God. He needed a heart transplant. And you believe they came to him and was like, look, you're so bad. that we're going to put you first on the list. But if you have two-mill cash, you can have a heart tomorrow. And that's what scares me. Like when my parents get old out, like I want to take care of them.

You know? Security. Like now, like, my brother's getting married in a month. So, like, my mom went to redo the whole house. So she was like, can I get this bed set? Can I do the floors? I need to move fridge. Can I get a marble countertop?

And I was like, yes, yeah. Like if I don't do that for my mom, who am I going to do it for? Yeah, what do you do? What is it for? Yeah. So I'm like, that's what I like money for, to take care of the people around me and to make memories. Yeah.

You know, I flew my grandmother out to L.A. for the first time. She never been to California. Wow. She was like, no, no, no, because she's old school set in her ways. Flew her out with my mom, business. She had the best time of her life. Yeah. She never flew business in her life.

She couldn't believe they served her food. That's well spent money. She sat by the pool all day. We didn't do anything crazy. Sat by the pool, took her out a couple of nights for dinner, you know, made her some food. She keeps talking about that. You would think she went to like Fiji or something. But that's what I care about, you know?

Isn't that true? Really, money, that's the best thing that it can provide. Comfort? And experience. Memories for me. Because if I end up with somebody who has a lot of money and they're never there for me, what do I need that for? Yeah. I'm big on that too.

I'm always like... Unless you're like that kind of girl, which is fine, it's harder for me where you have that person just like there for the lifestyle and then you got a side piece, but I just can't do that. It's too much drama. Exhausting. But I don't judge it because some people can do that. For sure. So I don't judge that.

By the way, everybody's choices is their own. It's not for us to judge. As I said from the beginning, you have your own choices. Yeah. No judgment. But for you, well, you did say in this, I'm going back to what you tweeted. He does have, he can be a moocher. That's what you said.

Does anybody want a moocher, though? Nobody wants a mocher. he must be richer than me or equal. Yes. Let me add to that. I've been in situations where I've gone on a vacation and I had a boyfriend at the time who bought me a rug at Macy's. So a rug at Macy's is not going to be crazy.

It was like on sale was, you know, two, three grand, whatever, four grand maybe. Kind of expensive, but not like, you know. And we were on vacation. That vacation ended up being expensive. way more than that, like 20, 30 G's. And we're checking out of the vacation, but he wanted nice dinners, he wanted this and that. And then at the end, I go to, you know,

put my credit card down. I'm, like, looking at him. And he walks away to get the bags. So I'm paying for the whole vacation. And he's like, hey, babe, I know it'll owe you $4 grand. I know it was like 20-something, almost $30,000. He's like, we're even. So I was like, I'm not going to even create a,

you know, I don't want to get into argument right now. But, like, those moments. We're not even. But it's like, also, if you didn't. picked the hotel. Like if you didn't pick the hotel, if you picked another hotel, I would understand. He picked the expensive hotel? Yes. And then said, you got this? I was like, oh, I like. He's like, which one do you like? I was like, oh, I like this one. Yeah. He didn't say you got this. I thought we were going to split it. And he ended up just saying the $4,000 carpet was made us even. I don't like

that. No. You know, at least to me, I am the type of girl. Like, don't get me wrong. I like nice things. But if I had a guy say, hey, let's go to Cheesecake Factory. I love Cheesecake Factory. Yeah. I'll go to the cheesecake factory. You feel me? Yeah, I do. It's more about like you don't want to feel somebody's trying to play you. Really, that's what it is. But then always in some way, it always gets to them like where it like starts bleeding into the relationship.

Because I feel like in the end of the day, like I do feel like men do want to feel like they're providing in a sense. I don't think any man wants to feel like the bitch in the relationship. I feel like men want to provide. If they could, they would buy you the bag. They would buy you things that make you happy or a rose. So that's what I meant. I got a lot of like online people were like, that's so blah, blah, blah, blah. And I was like, okay, that's fine.

You have your opinion. I have my opinion, you know? But you also say he has to have good personality and good morals and be smart and driven. Those are all amazing qualities. Yeah, because to me, it's like I don't even mind somebody who is not where I'm at right now, but is driven and has so much passion that I know that they'll get to where they need to be. And I'm down to support that. That's like right now, to answer your question, there are no baby daddies.

There's nothing like You know, I put me putting myself out there It's a little hard Because like the dating apps are like Yeah, how do you even date? I don't Could you go? Have you been on a dating app?

Could you do that? I have before. Really? As a famous person? Yeah, all bad. Did everybody know you were on it? No. Everybody says, oh, I had no idea who you were

But like my Instagram is linked to it You know what I mean? I wish I would have linked another Instagram And I'm like really He's like, oh, I never even Googled you Nothing like that And I'm like my mom and grandmother to Google everybody.

They'll get all your info. You know what I mean? So I think that's funny. And I believed it. But now I think I just try to meet people through friends. I slide into DMs. You do? Oh, yeah.

I love that. We always hear about women who get their DMs. Go like this. You have a hair right here. It's bothering the other side. Thank you, Virgo, detail queen. But also, you know, I slide into DMs all the time, but nobody reads them. What do you mean?

Nobody reads them. They don't see it. Or they just don't respond. Oh, no. Well, what kind of guys' DMs are you slide? into? All shapes, colors, sizes, everything. You just out here shooting your shot.

Honest. I just slid, I recently slid into Drake's DM. You did? After his thing and I was like, I am your dream girl. I'm Albanian, I got a fat ass, I got my own thing going on for me, and I don't even think he saw it, or he saw it and just ignored it. Wait, did it say red? No.

Oh, so it's unred? Yeah, but can you also... Does he follow you? No. Well, he follows me. I'm just saying if you wanted to DM him from mine, he will see it. If you wanted to DM him from my page and say, this is BB. No, that's so, that's crazy.

That's too thirsty. Maybe you could be like, hey, I want to set you up with my friends. Okay. Should I do it now? Because to me, if he goes, nah, I'm good on her. I'd be like, okay, he's good. Is that how you would feel? Yeah, nah.

Or would you write a song about him? Drake didn't want me. Champagne poppy. It's okay because I like pro seco. Yo, champagne, Poppy, didn't want me, but it's okay because I like Prosecco.

It's a song! Wait, didn't want me. It's okay because I like that. Proseco. What do you call that? The auntie, the wine, or like,

Kianti. Kianti. Yeah, rhymes. Champagne, Champagne Poppy didn't want me, but that's okay because I like that Kianti. That's a song.

Smash. I also wrote a lyric the other day. I was like, I don't fret on no man because I got eggs on ice. I got my eggs on ice. I'm not tripping. Yo, eggs on ice is a smash.

Yeah. Champagne poppy ain't want me is a smash. By the way, Drake will fuck around and take that hook and put some verses on it and it could be a smash for Drake. That's fine. With you on the hook.

I'm down. And then in the studio session, you could see if a vibe is there or not. Is that how you would behave? I just feel like honestly, I feel like that anybody who's dated Rihanna, like you just you can never like go up from there.

Like she's the badest, the hottest. So you think he's like he's damaged now because he can't never go. But like I just feel like she's the top tier. So I was like, where do you go? Where do you go? Yeah, where do you go from there? We're going to keep it 100. You know what I mean?

She's so bad. Like, yeah. How do you even recover after that? I honestly, I wouldn't even know how. Yeah. I would be hard. I don't know. Seeing her everywhere, killing it.

You know, now with her kids. She got a beautiful face. family. She looks good. She's a billionaire. Maybe you could help Drake get through this time. Yeah. He's so going to reach out after this. Nah, I doubt it. If for nothing else, the song. I think I bumped into him at an award show one time, but he was with his crew and there was some like drama going on at the time. And I was like, hey daddy. Hey baby. Hey daddy. And he got like, he gave me the dirtiest look. I don't think. And his security came to me. It was like, do not call him that. I was like, oh, okay. No way. Yeah, it was a Grammy. It was a Grammy actually at the Grammys. I was nominated that year for Best New Orleans. I was nominated that year for Best New Orleans. artist. We're going to send the message today. We're going to draft the message before you leave.

She likes to control everyone and tell everyone what to do. Okay, well, control is a harsh word. I would say that's a harsh word. I am more outspoken. Growing up a lot of the times because she was

so quiet. I would speak for like the both of us. Now I'm working on like thinking a moment, reeling it in, not controlling. Thinking before I speak. And Joey King.

The weekly podcast, that's part book club, part group chat for thought daughters, pop culture obsessives, and anyone who thinks Pride and Prejudice and Love Island deserve the same level of discourse.

I'm Eli Rallo and every week we're connecting the dots between books, the internet, and the conversations everyone can't stop having. I'm going to have to look up this story. I'm obsessed. From best-selling authors and your favorite book talk creators to the latest pop culture moments, nothing is off the table.

I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinero, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say, Yes, without asking anyone else first.

I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people, and they were like, you smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, let's say this happened with him or whoever.

Like, how does, like, if you like a guy, how do you show up? Like, are you... Oh, like, how do I dress? Yeah, dress or personality or like, what's your like... Is there a game? It depends on the day, honestly. It depends on how I feel. I honestly like to be in something comfortable.

Like a nice, like let's start. Like I'm going to do my makeup, my hair, like a pretty beat. You know what I mean? Nothing too crazy. Yeah. And then I probably wear like a nice body suit. Like, you know, like a nice body suit with a good, good lift. Like a little plunge.

This is your date outfit. This is like a date outfit. And then like a hot pair of pants that look good on my butt. And maybe like a cute jacket, sick handbag, nice pump, like a black pump, jewelry. just like effortless you know I like a classic look too sometimes you know

yeah I get it and flirty I'm not a good flirt really I would think you would be look at my PR they all know I'm a terrible flirt why

I should write a song and call I'm a bad flirt bad flirt is a no we've we have three hit records in this one pot alone are you gonna get publishing on this now I would love to I would love a piece of your publishing

I can only imagine no no it's all yours this is you I don't know. I'm very chill. Everybody in the room is going to want. Just when you win awards for all of these, just give me a shout out. Of course. That's what I mean. That's it. I'm a bad flirt though. Yeah, I don't know how to, I'm not a good flirt. I just start saying stupid things. Like, I open too much, you know, because I'm so used to being around guys in the studio and growing up in New York, plus being Albanian.

I have like a little bit of masculine vibe to me. So I like talk to them as if my friends. But like there's certain levels that you don't want to talk about. You know what I mean? But you do? Yeah, like anything and everything And my manager's like She was hanging out on me She's like, let's not say that again

She's like let's not talk about you and another guy Like you know what I mean? Like you're talking about another guy? Yes That's terrible Well Maybe that's why I'm Maybe I am the problem

Maybe you have the problem You know? No, you just have to find your person I don't know how to flirt you know I don't know that I know how to flirt You know and then I try to like to like Clean it up and I called some guy I was like

Thank you daddy or whatever and he just didn't even respond to it. Maybe the daddy's not working out for you. Yeah. Because that's the second time. We'll just rethink daddy. Yeah, we'll free, free think that. Maybe that's not a thing anymore.

I just don't know how to like, I just don't know how to be more like feminine. That's always something I'm trying to grow into. Like, you know, like in the soft girl era. Yeah. But like the second you get me pissed or like angry in traffic or something, it just like goes, you know? Savage. Not savage, but like I'll be like, bro, what the fuck? Well, I interview.

Remi Ma recently. Love Remi, right? She's also saying she's in her soft girl era. So I said, well, what does that look like for you, Rem? Because you can't tell somebody, because you know, Remy is known for telling people to suck her dick. She says, suck my dick. I said, Remy, you can't say suck my dick in your soft girl era. And she said, yes, I can. I just have to say it nicely. She said, suck my dick. Stop. I mean, that's kind of cute. That's kind of cute. That was her version. Maybe that's her version of the soft girl era. That's what I'm saying. That's her version. So maybe you just have to find what your version of it is and it's still true to you. You know what I mean? Or maybe I just need to find somebody who likes me for who I am and understands me. Because that's like my favorite kind

person when they just get my sarcasm. Like a big thing for me too is like if you're in my family, like we joke a lot and we're like all like crazy and we're doing pranks and this and that and we're loud. Like they need to be able to get along with my family. Yes. You know like I like I was sound like you have a dope family too. Yeah, I do. Like my like that ex-wife I was talking about. You hate him. I don't really have many ex-war friends to be honest. I know what you hate him, I can tell.

No, I don't hate him. I don't hate anybody. Okay, okay. Hate is strong. He's not a bad person, but it just, you know, didn't work out. But my, like, when I had, I didn't see my mom for like six months. So I went over her house and was like, mom, can I just sleep with you in the dog today in the bed? I just want to be next to my mom.

And he was like, that's so weird. Is that weird? No. I don't think it's weird. But that's my mom. I actually think it's really sweet. Even when my grandma comes over, because I don't know, she's getting older and stuff, I'll, like, sleep with my grandma. I'll, like, come, Grandma, stay with me in the bed, you know, and she loves it.

We have, like, watch a movie, this and that. Like, I feel like that's the best. And I just want somebody to understand my dynamic, you know. Yeah. I don't know. You're in this era now. Like, you've got a new album out. Yeah.

And now knowing you better and you telling me, like, the past of you just coming into, like, being proud of your culture. And then having that represented on the album is really cool. And you know what I'm saying? That must all feel really good for you. I was telling my friend, like, I remember very clearly when I was about to do the song with Nikki, No Broken Hearts, back in the day,

and I was like, I want to dye my hair blonde. And everybody on my team was like, no. And my mom was like, no, you're going to burn your hair. And she wasn't wrong. You know, she wasn't wrong. And I remember going into the salon myself and sitting there for 14 hours. But then the second,

and I saw myself in the sink, like with my hair wet, I was like, oh, m.g. Like, I feel like me. And a lot of people are like, oh, that feels like you're like running away from yourself. I'm like, no, I'm like, I feel like more like myself. I love, love, love being blonde. And for me besides it, like, when people go, oh, dirty blonde the album, I'm like, it's not just because I'm blonde. That, of course, was part of it because I feel like I'm finally in my life once, like made a decision without being scared and asking for everybody's approval. And I've always find that very hard, you know, because my mom was, you know, 17 when she had me. We were very close. So I always, I kind of go to her for like, which I love, but I always go to her for like approval or like her

ideas. And I think throughout this process has been a lot longer wanting to trust myself and like making my own decisions. Like my manager right now, even like usually I would go through all these people, but I met her and I was like, I'm hiring you. But whereas like everybody around me was like, I'm not sure or this and that. And I was like, no, I fuck with her. She's a bad bitch. I I believe in her. And she's been one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. I love that for you. Yeah.

And it's so hard to find good management. And then, like, my partners at my independent label empire, like, just being around people that, like, are allowing me and, like, nothing is, like, do or die. Like, everything is, like, the journey. Yeah. You know? Also, there's, like, nothing more badass than a woman who is not afraid to kind of, like, steer her own boat. I'm still afraid.

You know what I mean? But I'm just that I'm better. I know. But not afraid enough that it's not stopping you. We are all afraid. We're all afraid. but it doesn't stop you from making the decisions

you want to make. You don't let fear stop you. I still work with people. There's certain things that I wish could be a certain way, but then I also understand that it's a collaborative process, but I'm also more like,

I'm not scared to send a text or make a call to be like, hey, I know we're doing this, but I just want to, you know, and I know this is a group decision, but I also have people around me where I'm like, I don't think

this is the right move. I'm going to put this out there. So I think this is what should have. You know what I mean? Yeah. Come on boss. Lean into it. I want that for you.

I want you to lean all the way into that. I know because you have it in you. You're so bad already. Then I would finally, you know, we talk about like wanting to hit the mountaintop. Because I feel like in my career I've been very blessed. I'm very grateful. But I feel like I still haven't hit that mountain top. What is that?

What does it look like? The mountain top to me is it clicking so clearly brand wise, musically, the recognition from my peers. And most importantly, the people, you know, continuing to build a fan base and, like, getting back to my roots. Because when I first started, I was so clear on who I was. You know, I was always this more moody girl, New York City, unapologetic. And then as I started going into the major label system, I felt like I got kind of diluted. To be, like, and then when I met my friend, little Eddie, he's from New York. He's an amazing songwriter. He was like, Baby, he's like, I'm not going to lie.

Like, I love you. Like, when I see your Instagram, he's like, I feel like you're like giving Barbie vibes, very like polished. And he's like, that's not what you are at all. And I was like, hmm. And he was like the first person to kind of tell me that to my face. And I was like, he's not wrong. I love that.

Yeah, when we were working on this album, I'm like, I think that's a continuation. Like that's so something I'm trying to do where it's like, I'm not trying to add and do my hair. You know, because always, I was always like, should my hair be pink? Like, how do I connect to the should it be red, dyed it red, dyed it pink, did it this, this and that. And then I finally hit a place from like, okay, this new era, if Dirty Blonde is just kind of starting the fire, the embers, this is all about mostly taken away. You know?

Yeah. Being. Not waiting. Like, I'm on my journey of like wanting to get back to my best self with my body, with my music, with all the things, how I feel. And I was like, I could hide behind the doors continuously and make the decisions I don't want to make. or I could go through the journey and people could watch me. Mm-hmm. Right?

Yes. Do you feel like you're doing it? Yeah, because sometimes I have like things come up like in the past and I'm like, I don't want to do it because I don't feel like good in my body. I feel like people talk shit all the time. And then now I'm like, if you wait forever, you're never going to get to that. Like, what are you going to wait forever? So it's like I'd rather do it and like be on that journey and like just accept myself.

As you are. Right? And work in progress, right? It's not like. Well, because some people have not seen me for a while. and I'll start popping on their page now. And they're like, God damn, what happened to her? And I was like, I am grown now.

And I was like 24. You know what I mean? And starving. So like, you know, we're on the way. Not starving. Not starving. Let's not say. No, I know.

But on like a diet that was like no carbs for like two years. And I'm like, nah. Do you feel good in your skin now in your body? I feel better, but I still like I'm getting to a place where I'm like feeling better, but I still want to be more snatched. But this is for me. Because I want to be able to not have to wear a faha. a corset, two pairs of spanks all the time.

You know what I mean? Like, I hate like all the, you know what I mean? I see my friends like going out with no stockings on. I'm like, you fucking bitch. No Faja, no corset. I'm like, God damn. I'm here like strapped in, like strapped in, baby. Like strapped in, you know, on stage like, you know?

But that's different. You wanting to do that for yourself is different than you not going out or showing up because you're worried about. You know, I kind of like even like, I kind of like felt like even when, like for dating for a second, I was kind of like, I don't know. I don't want to be like in front of a guy. Like I don't know why guys always do this. They're like, oh, let's go swim. And I'm like, like, we know when they want to like swim on the first or second date.

I'm like, that is no, because you're trying to see me with no makeup on and in my bikini, absolutely not. You know? Like what happens to like a dinner or like a drink? Like, why do we got to go straight to the pool? Yeah. Because they want to see you like, that's their thing that little, they're a little secret. That must be an LA thing. That's not in New York.

That's not in New York. That's not in New York. That's not in New York. That's not an L. Yeah. So I was like, no. but then also I was kind of like insecure and then now I've come to a point

I'm like you know what I'm curvy I got like you know some extra weight on me but I'm like I'm sexy you know what I mean like when I put on like a tight little outfit snatched myself in I still got the curves so I don't know so you might go on a bathing suit date

I'll do like a one piece should we go to bowl or should we go to voice note wait wait before we do that I do and I don't want to make this sad because it's such a beautiful conversation. Yeah, but I do want to talk about Dolly because how lucky are you as a human being that you got to work with Dolly Parton? There's so many stories of me and how the New York City and me came in.

Even when I worked with Nikki back in the day, with whoever, I always found a way. Like, I would show up to a party and give people my, like, play them the song or send them the MP3. And I met Danny, who was her manager at the time, and he came to my show. And I was like, Danny, I want a song with Dolly. Danny, I want a song with Dolly. Would send him songs throughout the years, throughout the years, throughout the years. Then I finally found an engineer that I was working with that was very close with her engineer. And her engineer played the song for her in the studio.

Like, I'm telling you, like, I tried everything. She heard seasons and loved it. And I couldn't believe it. And I was like, can we please shoot a visual for it? Please, please, please. I was like, I'll fly to Nashville. I'll fly to your studio. I'll do whatever you guys need to do.

What was that, though? Why did you want it so bad? I just, first of all, she's iconic, but also, like, my grandmother always used to play her. That was my grandmother's favorite artist, so I knew a lot about her. And then as I was growing up, I did research on her, like, her interviews, like when they would try to, like, put her down, like, about her the way she dressed or hair, how she wore her boobs and the corset. The way she was always able to spin the interview, like it never

phased her. Yeah. And I love that about her. And like they might say, I remember an interview where they said she was like came from like a like a trashy family or something like that. And the way she made it seem was like yeah, I did or like whatever. Like she was always so proud of her roots. And I just love, love that about her. And it never like the interview never came off like nasty or whatever. She was just so sweet. And then I learned that she did, I will always love you for Whitney Houston. She had her own version. I didn't know she wrote all her songs.

So that to me is like, because like to write your own records is like really hard. I was going to say as a songwriter, I'm sure you have a connection with her. It's so much more difficult than like having the song sent to you. It's so much harder, you know. And then her story about Elvis wanting it. Like Elvis Presley. So Elvis Presley wanted her song. I will always love you originally.

Sorry. I don't know why. I don't know why I went to someplace else. I thought he like was trying to follow her. I'm sure she was hot too. But he wanted her song. And at the time, don't forget she's a female. And his manager called her and said,

okay, well, we don't do any song for Elvis unless he has publishing. And she owned 100%. And she was like, sorry, can't do that. And then she said for years and years that really upset her. It bumped her out. But then she saw that when Whitney did it, it was like meant to be for that moment and I don't know

just like everything all the assets of her and then finally meeting her I met her at her album release party you know I don't want to take too much of her time but I love the energy and then when we finally shot the video for seasons I don't know like she had like I said like

she had the most energy in the room like her energy like her the glow she had like I joke I'm like her heels are crazy they were like this yeah I believe that I was like oh m g her hair was bigger than mine she had like thing her outfit was better her corset was tighter her tits were like this I was like oh my god she is like perfect yeah she is who she thinks she yeah and sweet and sweet and like what a reputation to have yeah so I don't know where I was recently um oh I was at you know with my sister-in-law I was at you know with my sister-law I doing some bridal stuff for her.

And I felt so bad because we were trying on like, you know, crowns and headpieces for her. And then I saw the news and I just, I like just checked out, you know? And I think almost like, it's sad, you know? Obviously. But I really, really hope that like we keep her legacy alive.

Hey, everyone. It's the Jonas Brothers with the Hey, Jonas Podcasts. We've been catching up with some great friends, Paul Rudd, Michael Bublay, Seth Myers, Nile Horan, Jake Shane. And making some new friends while getting into what's really like to have sisters, like Alex and Ashton Earl. She likes to control everyone and tell everyone to do it. Okay, well, control is a harsh word. I would say that's a harsh word.

I am more outspoken. Growing up a lot of the times because she was so quiet. I would speak for like the both of us. Now I'm working on like thinking a moment, reeling it in, not controlling them, man. speak. And Joey King. You know if your like mom is yelling at your sibling? And even if you're annoyed with your sibling, you just like won't let that slide.

It's like only you can yell at your sibling. I'm like, you can't do that here. That is, you do not talk about her like that. Only I talk about her like that. Plus, we've been taking your calls, listening to your voicemails and giving you advice. Or at least trying to. So if you've got catching up to do, now is the perfect time. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hi, this is Kylie Breakman. Angel Geratana. Jeremy Colhane. Patrick McDonald. And we're the hosts of the Artists on Artists on Artists Podcast. The Improvised Character Comedy Podcast where each week a new panel of artists discuss their craft. Join us for a panel of wellness influencers. What I try to do is faux journal.

I don't know. Have you guys heard of faux journaling? Yeah, it's reading. It's called reading. So we don't like to use that word anymore. Okay. A panel of New Yorker cartoonists. Have you guys done Terry Gross?

is Peloton class. No! I've been dying too. I'm so sorry. I'm seeing a reading of Sadako in the Thousand Paper Cranes by Audra McDonald's at the Wonderland Bookstore on 14th.

That's crazy. I went to the Wonderland Bookstore yesterday and I heard Nora Jones do a reading of Zero Dark 30. No way. You have to come to the last bookstore, though. Kim Cottrell is reading the guitar tabs of yesterday.

A panel of Eurovision participants. And we do a little Halloween sometimes. Does the Pope dress up? He winks on Halloween. He gets right up next to the microphone. I hear you can almost hear the eyelashes hit each other. You never seen Italy so quiet as when the Pope gets up to wink on Halloween. Listen to artists on artists on artists on artists on the IHeard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

If your bookshelf and your for you page are equally important to your personality, welcome home. This is Prose Society, the weekly podcast that's part book club, part group chat for thought daughters, pop culture obsessives, and anyone who thinks Pride and Prejudice and Love Island deserve the same level of discourse. I'm Eli Rallo and every week we're connecting the dots between books, the internet, and the conversations everyone can't stop having. I'm going to have to look up this story. I'm obsessed. I'm obsessed.

From bestselling authors and your favorite book talk creators to the latest pop culture moments, nothing is off the table. It's like if you can hide some real messages inside compelling characters, and that is a Trojan horse. Whether you're looking for literary deep dives, smart pop culture conversations, or a community of readers who love to think a little too much, you're in the right place.

Listen to Pro Society on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. See you between the pages. On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus, or this random dude is offering me a right. on his motorcycle. I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinheiro, and I travel by myself because it's a rare

space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people, and they were like, you smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And you know, when you meet a lot of like the people you look up to, I'm not going to lie,

like there's been several people that really have let me down. You know, like you're just kind of like expecting something different. I try to give them the benefit of the doubt. because I know their lives are crazier. But like with her, like being the icon that she was, classy, classy woman. Classy, polished, funny, sweet, laughing, amazing energy. Did she show you love like when you first met?

Did she like, I don't know. She sent me, when I tell you, she sent me a letter, a handwritten letter that they scanned and sent to my email saying thank you. Do you have it? Do you have it framed? I don't have a frame. I should get it framed. have like I have like a lot of framed stuff from like Michelle Obama and like I have a picture of

me and Diana Ross for her birthday, but I'm definitely going to do that. That's a good idea. Yeah, you should frame it. Yeah, absolutely. And the picture of us that I love online. I went into, I just, we just had Patty LaBelle on the podcast and you go into Patty's house. And I've never been one to like keep stuff in my house.

I always thought it was like a little like. Yeah, like you don't want to show off. I don't feel like it was show. I never did it. But when I went into Patty's house recently, I was like, you know, I'm. Patty has pictures with the Obama's. Elton John. You're like, I don't know what it was on John, but who she, I mean, just everywhere.

It's just her, it's her whole, it's a history. It's a museum. You know, can I tell you? It's a Patty LaBelle Museum. Oh my gosh. It was really the Clintons of this, that one did, Mariahs and just everybody. Stevie Wonder. Wow.

Oprah all over her house. I was like, you know what? I'm going to start putting up some things. I have nothing in my house. That's like me and my plaques. Like I put them in one room. I put them in my one room and like my awards. And I was like, I don't want them around.

Like, you know. You don't want to feel like you're... Yeah, I don't want it. But then I was like, recently, I've been feeling like I want to put some of them up. Like a letter from... Like, I have a letter that Tupac sent me, right? And I have that framed in my house. A letter from Dolly Parton.

I know, iconic. You kind of want to put it... Okay, I got to do it. You want to put it somewhere significant in your home, I think. I would think. I'm going to get it, like, nice frame. You posted something about Dolly. What was the...

Read it. No, I think it was a TikTok I did. There was a girl who's a girl who's... talking about, I don't know, even recently, she was like, to me, I'm like, we want to, like, sometimes when I go out, I'm like, am I doing too much? And I'm like, who cares? Dolly would never? Dolly would never. Dolly, the corset had to be tight. The tits had to be out. The hair had to be larger than life.

Yeah. The shoes are five, six inches. And what I say to the women out there, I'm like, girl, it's never too much. It's never too much. It's never too much if it's true to you. If you're feeling yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, you want to wear you do you but never feel like you're doing too much i say if you're showing up to a party in an event overdressed i say everybody's underdressed because you live one life we live this life once this moment you and me that we're spending together like we're choosing to spend this time that will never come back oh so i appreciate you i appreciate you and everyone else in this room thank you come on baby you have to listen to me talk

And first of all, I just wanted to say, I'm a huge fan. I'm a huge Rexar. This live chat is for Rexars and Bad Bidges Only. And I also wanted to say that all your fault, part one and two, specifically got me through the worst ever. First gay situation ship of my life. It was this guy met in community college and it was a whole mess. And yeah, both of those EPs really got me through it.

Specifically, atmosphere, small doses. And then in part two, I got time. So I just want to say thank you for those two bodies of work. They really got me and many gays through a lot of shit. But anyways, my question I wanted to leave for you today is, if you were to name the documentary of your life, what would it be named? That is a phenomenal question. What was his name? Joey.

Joey, I might steal that question for the podcast. Not the whole long beginning, but just what would the name of your documentary be? That's a good question. That's a tough. I wish I want to prepare it. that one. Yeah, that's a good one. But first of all, before we get to that, how dope

is that to hear? I'm sure you hear it often from fans and, you know, but it's funny because him telling, not funny, but it's beautiful. Like, he's telling his story, and like, when he says atmosphere and small doses, I know because I was going through a rough time at that period. And then with I Got Time, I had written on

All Your Fault Part 2, and it was, like, about overthinking, like, time running out, like, your clock running out and be like, oh my god i'm not in a relationship everybody's getting married having kids and then it's just so beautiful to know that that could be his therapy too because i got time is like about like i got time you know i'll do what i want um i feel like hearing fan stories um especially when times get a little rough for me and like i've been in like bad situations in the industry it just kind of gives me more of a like that that fire purpose because without them you really are nothing

honestly. Not nothing, but you can be happy, but the success is, a lot of people forget that. I think probably also it gives purpose to what you like to do or what you love to do already. It gives a bigger purpose. Do you have a name for your documentary? Come on, let's think about this.

Let's think this through. You're a creative. You just wrote three songs while we were sitting here, by the way. I know, but then I feel like people are going to like hold this to me and I'm nervous. Oh, okay. Okay. This is a...

Raw and unfiltered. They're going to think it's something different. Rex a raw. Honestly, I feel like a wrestling match. I feel like it would have to be really like raw and unfiltered. Like really putting it all out there. Like showing all of it. Like the hard, like all the crazy stuff.

And like there's so much that I don't want to speak about right now that happened that people would be... It would do a lot. It would be crazy. What do you mean? I'm not going to go into it right now for good vibes. I don't want anything to overshadow me. But there's been moments

that people would be like, what the hell? Will there be a documentary one day? I would love to. My mom said to me, she's like, you sign a lot of NDAs and stuff like that. And she's like, I didn't. She's like, I witnessed it first. I was like, you are.

Having your mom signed an NDA is crazy work, by the way. No, she didn't. No, I know, but I'm just saying somebody who did would be crazy work. She's like, I've seen it front row and center. What about a book? Would you do a book? I would love to.

Yeah. Maybe my mom would do the book. We're gonna have your mom. Because she could say any. Oh my gosh, the stories, I'm not gonna go into it, but the stories with the guys. Oh my gosh. If you only knew.

Let me go through a couple of my aros. There would be a lot of cancellations. We're gonna go through my. A lot of big celebrities, but we're not gonna go into that right now. Really? Let's keep the shine and the good light on me. That will be saved for the book.

In the unnamed documentary. For now. In real life, what are you most proud of about yourself? That I'm still, you know, like here mentally well. Because, you know, life can bog you down. And I think we don't give ourselves enough credit because life can get crazy for everybody. And everybody has a story we don't know about.

So I'm really proud for being here and not giving up on myself. Yeah, baby. What is one thing that you are, are no longer available for. I'm no longer available for... No longer available for... Wack men. Broke-ass men.

Insecure. Toxic. I want good vibes. I don't have time for bullshit. Life is going by. We're getting older. We don't know what tomorrow brings. I don't got time for it.

When I walk into a room, I want people to feel. When I walk into a room, I want people to feel loved and noticed. A lot of times with people, I understand there's like a lot of people have social anxiety and like I'll walk into a room and I feel really stressed or there might be a thousand and one things in my head. But now I'm really trying to like when I walk into a room, I want everybody in the room to feel like they're important because they are. I don't like when people walk in a room and they, like, I notice a lot of, like, when I'm around a lot of other people, celebrities, I'll notice if they say hi to my assistant, my sister-in-law, my brother. Yeah. Like, I always try to make whoever's around them feel special too because they are. Yeah.

You know what I mean? For sure, I do. Who is a celebrity that you do admire or that you, that if they walk in here right now, you'd lose it. Oh, lose it? Yeah. That's two questions. Okay, give me both. I mean, the person, somebody that I have.

met that was very classy, also was Alicia Keys. Yeah. I loved her vibe. Yeah. And if somebody walked in here right now, probably... And you would lose it. Is there anybody? Lauren Hill.

Yeah. Just because I love her music so much. Yeah. And Beyonce. Who else? Other people that I want to name, but they're just like a little cray-cray, so I can't name them right now. But you could think. Okay.

Like from a musical aspect. Yeah, of course. Those are two good ones. Yeah. Those are good. Rihanna. Yes. Okay.

Rie-ri. Champagne Poppy. We love you, Champagne Poppy. Come to the podcast. It's time. We bring you up often. It's a safe space here. Safe space.

twist. We're having fun. Yeah, we're having fun. It's just cute you know. Yeah, yeah, don't get a twist. She's not really going to be here. She's not really going to be here. But we may FaceTime her. Hell yeah. You're so funny. Okay. In real life, what is your biggest pet peeve? Oh.

Or trigger or something that set you off? Biggest pet peeve, there's several of them. Okay. I hate, okay, this is a, like a more physical I hate when I go to the nail salon and they use filers on my on my regular nails when they're thin. Oh, on the top? Like, oh.

Oh, and like on the side and it feels like they're about to rip off. I can't. And then relationship-wise, when they want to split the bill. Also, I can't. If you want to split the bill for me, I've done this before. If I'm like, I'm never going to see this person again, I pay for the bill and walk out. What else don't I like? when people just like

you know when like you're like talking about something and they're always trying to one up you and I'm like oh my god I got my mom like this thing and she's like oh my god I got my mom two things like I got my mom with two caribrate the three caribati she's like oh I got my mom a five carabre I'm like okay good for you

You probably have a whole list of pet peeps. All right. And then before you go, we're going to enter the IRL bowl. Will you pick them? Oh, that's good luck. Is it? No. I made that up.

I made that up. All right. IRL bowl. Were you peeking at that before you picked one? No. Okay, go. What do you pray for most? Oh.

I love that. I always pray for health for my family. and happiness. I'm always praying for that. Just because, you know, when I was younger, I had a lot of really close people to me pass away from cancer. So that scared me from like a young,

I was like 11. So it really, really scared me. So I pray for like my family to be healthy and happy. It also made you clearly appreciate them. Yes, yes. I think when you start losing people younger, like it kind of sticks with you. Yeah, for sure.
