32. Lauren Jauregui: The Truth Transmission

This week, the radiant and ridiculously talented Lauren Jauregui beams up to the mothership for a conversation that’s equal parts poetry, politics, and play. From Fifth Harmony phenom to fearless solo visionary, we dive deep into her evolution as a solo artist, the love laced through her lyrics, her fierce pride in her Latin roots, and the way she weaves advocacy into every fiber of her being. She gives us the scoop on her upcoming album, her soul-baring podcast, and what accountability, healing, and staying grounded in your truth really look like.

But don’t let the depth fool you—it’s also hilarious, playful, and wildly fun. Lauren isn’t just opening up; she’s kicking back with friends. This one feels less like an interview and more like you’re eavesdropping on your favorite group chat in outer space. Tune in for the laughter, the honesty, and the zero-gravity realness.

Featuring: Lauren Jauregui, Gemeny Hernandez, Emily Estefan

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's really hard to be an artist with a platform
and use it for something like social justice because.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
You get black balls straight up.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Oh yeah, so many times, so many opportunities have come
off the table because I care about the world. The
more of us that shy away from using our cultural influence,
the easier it is for these kinds of powers and
these authoritarian powers to get away with things and normalizing
things that are actually obscene in the context of a group.
It's really even harder to really find yourself and know

(00:28):
yourself in those formative years when you're doing it in
front of an audience and you're doing it with four
other people around you who are also growing up and
getting to know themselves. It's a very spiritual process for me.
I'm really giving you my diary.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
When I give you projects, you.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Know, I'm giving you my inner worlds. I'm giving you
my perception. I'm giving you what is happening in the
world that is making me feel something. My goal with
whatever it is that I create in this world is
to challenge.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
What we know to be the absolute truth.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
And it's like there is no absolute truth. Everything is malleable,
and everything is upheld by.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
Ideas, by by what we all choose to believe, Ladies, Germs, Germans, germats, geraniums,
and foreignerance. We are here in outer space for another installment,

(01:24):
another flight at in our own world, and today's flight
is truly a treat, not only for you guys out there,
but us who gets to share the space with this
beautiful soul sitting next to me, who shall be revealed
and beautiful woman. Yeah, already flirting, okay, but you know what,
at least I'm consistent.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
There we go.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
We are sitting down with an unstoppable force. You know,
her voice, rich and soulful, truly impossible to forget. But
she is so much more than that. She's a fearless
artist who's carved her own path, blending raw vulnerability with
undeniable strength and talent in every thing she creates.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
From her days as a member of one of the
best selling girl groups of all time to forging her
own path with music that hits you right in the gut.
Trust me, I know she's been busy building a legacy
on her own terms, blending R and B, alternative and
Latin influences.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Beyond the music, she's a passionate advocate using her voice
to fight many issues of social justice, LGBTQ rights, and
mental health awareness, amongst other things.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
We're talking music, growth and everything in between. Please welcome singer, songwriter, poet, activist, podcaster, Yeah,
fellow Miami in Guan eat that and dog mom b
Lor Michelle Ha Reggie.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
What an intro lady. Well, we truly feel all of
those things.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Thank you and it was so sweet. How did your homework?
I mean we knew all that stuff come on for
the people, for the people, for the people.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
How are you feeling today?

Speaker 1 (02:58):
I feel great today. Today's a good day.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
I've been doing breathwork in the mornings, so shit is
actually hitting.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
That's good. I like it. I need to do I
need to do some breath work in the morning. What
is it like box breathing?

Speaker 1 (03:09):
No, I sent you the link. I found this guy
who does like so it's fire breathing something else with
a diaphragm that's also fire and then humming yeah, and
then the left right nostril alternation alternating.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
See I do all that stuff when I'm doom scrolling,
and I'll see the lady who's like, cover your left eye,
look up, bounce on one foot, put your finger. I'm like,
and it takes away anxiety. I'm like that, that's how
I here. I'm sunning my my boo hoole and almost having.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Was it good? Was it a good experience?

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Well? I got I got trolled because I thought it
was like, oh, this made sense, like the sun's going
to go directly into into the like yeah, plot twist.
It's actually really thin skin that's never exposed to the sun,
so it really hurt.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Did you burn yourself? None of us.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
I don't know what you're talking anyway, let's talk about you.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
So first, I'm just going back to the time, like
walking outside and Emily is literally like leg above head and.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
I'm like, Emily, I mean, I've heard sunning down there
is a great thing to do.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
So just be careful.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
I take your words protection honestly, I'll take that. So
you've starting off strong to start, Oh.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
My god, Okay, enough about hold no, no, no, no, no,
You've got to be serious. Guys. If now we're gonna
come mire I hear, because we'll be here talking for me.
It's true.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
It's tre gonna be like all right, diansawer, my heart
really did his big one, letting us have our friends
over and call this work.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Okay, they don't tell us.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
What's That's how I heard shout out, shout out, we
love you. We all know and love you. Yes, but
if you had to introduce yourself share with the world,
who is Lauren? Yes?

Speaker 1 (04:55):
I think y'all did a great job. I mean, I
am just a girl.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Oh just the girl.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
No, for real, I don't know. I think you like
you really summed it up really nicely. I feel like
I would say I'm a creative singer, songwriter, artist, poet
and human That is that I you know, I love
human rights and I like to talk about how we
can all achieve that together, love it and work together

(05:26):
to get somewhere better. And that's kind of what I
focus on my energy on really is art and connection
with whoever I come in contact with, and healing.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Do you feel like it's an artist's responsibility to use
their platform to speak out about things that are wrong
with the world.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yes, And I know, like so I think for me,
because it comes to me and from me, I do it.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
I think there's a lot of artists who use their
platforms for different reasons. I would love for all artists
to feel inclined to use their energy to create a
better world. But there's a lot of people who use
their platform as escapism or like a means for people to,
you know, not have to think about those kinds of things.
And I think each person has their own approach to

(06:14):
their artistry and I don't I used to be like
ra Rara, but now I'm more on like, I don't
really judge nobody for what how they're trying to.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Make it through this place.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
You know, it's rough.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
It's rough, and it's really hard to be an artist
with a platform and use it for something like social
justice because you.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Get black balls straight up. Oh yeah, so.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
Many times, so many opportunities have come off the table
because I care about the world and it's it's not
It doesn't affect me as negatively as like people maybe
perceive it like the people around me perceive it. Because
for me, I don't want to work with anybody who
feels off put by me telling the truth. You know,
I don't want to add my voice to your voice either, So.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
It works both ways, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
And I would rather people be upfront and real about
why they don't want to work with me because a
lot of stuff has come to the table for me
and people are like, hey, I want to work with you,
and then all of a sudden they're like, ooh, it's like,
you know, you're a little too much. And I don't
think i'm too much. I really just re advocating for
human rights, that's it. Yeah, Like that's my baseline across
the board is like, are these people being oppressed? AYO,

(07:20):
stop impressing them.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
You know.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
Let's let's allocate our budget to stuff that actually helps people, right,
you know.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
And that's just that's really a no brainer for me
for me too.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
But yeah, I think anyone who's spiritually inclined and anybody
who is empathetic in any kind of way can can
feel that and.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
Feel what's right and what's wrong.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
In that kind of capacity, you know. And yes, there's complexities,
but at the end of the day, there's there. The
complexities usually come from propaganda, you know, and so I
like to see through that and speak truth to power.
That's part of my purpose on this planet. It's not
everybody's purpose, but it's part of mine.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Wow. Well, I think you're a role model in that
arena because I think it's what you just mentioned. The
prospect of losing opportunities like that kind of forces people
to take to stay a line and stay in line
and not speak, not speak their truth exactly and not share.
And it's not about necessarily like you said, I don't
think that it's about this is these are all of
my personal opinions. But when that line is drawn and

(08:17):
it's gone too far and we're talking.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
About life, life like to me, life is pressure risks exactly,
and like that's on some spiritual shit for me, like
like God created all of us equally, and it's really
deeply about protecting the sanctity of life and protecting the
sanctity of children, protecting the sanctity of this planet that
feeds us.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
That houses us.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
That is the reason we're here and breathing, you know
what I mean. Like if the air is polluted and
the water's polluted and children are being murdered, like I'm sorry,
we're not taking care, we're not taking care of it,
we're not honoring like the sanctity of life, like the
reason we're all here, you know.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
That's my that's my personal opinion.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
I think I think it's bad ass. It's badass. And
also so many artists and people who advocate for the
right thing unfortunately are ahead of their time.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
M h.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
And I'm in the league of legends though.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yeah, there you go, because.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
The first quote that you mentioned is Anina Simone quote,
you know, like of she she says, like, you know,
an artist duty is to reflect the times.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yeah, it's true, and I.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Really wholeheartedly believe that with my souls, you know, like
you think people were happy about Marvin Gay, you know,
about what's going on and now it's literally become an
anthem exactly or Stevie Wonder. Yeah, there's there's a plethora
of incredible artists that I really admire and how they

(09:44):
use their platform, and they use also their unity like
with each other to create social movements and to I
think that's a huge thing too. Like the more of
us that shy away from using our cultural influence, the
easier it is for these kinds of powers and these
authoritarian powers to get away with things and normalizing things
that are actually obscene, right, And the more that we

(10:05):
work with each other to create cultural moments and to
create social moments where like the kids are inspired to
be like that and be more progressive and be more
on a tip of wanting to create a better world
not only for us, but for themselves, because the younger
generations are the ones that are going to be here
in the long term to deal with all the repercussions
of what we're allowing to happen, you know. And so

(10:27):
I feel like, you know, the more that we all
make that a cool thing to do and be, and
the more we shy away from shit like Elon mus
talking about how, you know, empathy is the weakness of
this nation, crazy like that is really dangerous rhetoric, you know,
because empathy is actually what connects us to one another
and what connects us to the string of life and
the wield of life, you know, And that's indigenous wisdom,

(10:49):
you know. For years and years and years, colonialism has
been trying to disappear indigeneity, to disconnect us from that truth,
to disconnect us from the earth, so that we can
normalize billionaires making fucked up.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Using the way to get there, because we have to comply.
We have there and there is no machine without us,
right exactly.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
And that's the point.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
It's like, the easier we make it for them to
get away with things like this and normalize things like this.
The more they push the boundary on how far they
can go, and the furthest they can go is what
happens all across the world, which is war and death.
And it's scary. It's scary the type of shit that happens.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
It really is, And it starts with I think cultural
leaders like yourself giving.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
Into the fear and or not giving into the fear.
There you go, the fearlessness. You know.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
I think that it's tough. It's definitely a difficult place
to be in. And I totally respect you know, at
the end of the day, if I speak truthfully, right,
and it came down to I have to feed my family.
I have no other way to feed my family. My
integrity really isn't for sale, and neither is yours. If
I was really up again a wall, I don't know

(12:01):
what I would do for the people that I love.
But that's not our reality, right, We're not there.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
I'm personally like really privileged, so yeah, us, yeah, try
to use that, you know, like, because we have less
of a chance of getting kidnapped.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
Hopefully, wait a minute, somebody somewhere, I'm not all anybody
wants to do that ship to me, you're gonna be
the one that's gonna end up punished, stuck with my annoying.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
My mom used to say that she does on you. Literally,
my mom used to say she was never worried about
me getting kicked up because they'd returned me.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
Like, thanks, don't laugh, I'm here cracking up as well. No,
but I do think there will be many a plaque
of you in the future. We'll be there to take
a holographic selfie with it.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
I would rather I want to leave behind buildings and
schools and not necessarily my name, but like, just just
go for you.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I love that. Okay, can you
put them in my name? It's definitely take all the
credit for your heart. And thank you for including me
that yeller dynamic duo. Yeah we are. Before we move on,
I just wanted to ask you one more thing, because
you're also very observant, and you talk a lot about

(13:20):
the children, the importance of the children and how they
are the ones who are going to inherit this mess.
And I have a nephew who's turning thirteen and already
passed me in height a long time ago. I have
more of a mustache on him. So we're good. Okay, good,
but that's not hard anyway. Do you notice younger because
now we have like all these generations before us, because.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
And do you notice that they care more?

Speaker 3 (13:46):
How do you see the dynamic between generations before us?
So I feel like there's there's.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
Kind of like a wide range, if I'm being honest,
to some degree, I feel like younger generation are some
of the younger generation they've related empathy to like cringe culture,
and I see like a lot of like caring about
stuff and like being vocal about that is like.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Cringe to them.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
Oh, THEO Warriors exactly, like like the whole concept of
woke and like what you care about and what you
think about and talk about again.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
Because I believe that artists are cultural drivers, you know
what I mean.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
I feel like if no one's talking about social justice
and no one cares about that kind of stuff, they're
gonna care.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
About what these people care about. And a lot of
people care about.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Hair and makeup and in car bodies and cars and
how much money they have, and that's all that they're
talking about. So that's what these kids are seeing on
social media. You know, it's it's raising them and those.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
People that scoop the crystals. Oh she's talking about the
TikTok lives where they're like right, it's just a super
hyper consumerism.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
Yeah, I see, you know what I mean about that.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
But there's also a whole lot of you know, like rainbow.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Kids that are like here and are super spiritually aligned
and super driven to that and are super aware of
you know, their circumstances and what their futures don't or
do look like, and they're they're doing what they can
amongst themselves.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
You know.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
So I think there's like a cultural divide, if you will,
for you know, on that front is what I've noticed anyway.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Sad though, because I thought it would be the other way.
I thought that. Did you ever read about Indigo children?

Speaker 3 (15:24):
Yes, they were supposed to me about the Indigo children.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
They supposedly started with like our generation, And I think
that's true. I think that's I see that everywhere too.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
You know, I see a lot of aware children that
like school, these adults, you.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Know what I mean, it's spiritually.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
Yeah, just present, like you know, he thinks that kindness
is cool, and you know, like now there are young
people who are seeing role models me exactly. No, No,
I'm looking at DOGI like, who's my role model now
right and seeing like the difference in her being, Like
sobriety got me here, spiritual reality got me here, not

(16:01):
like drugs and booze and all this stuff that used
to be that was cool and rock and roll. And
now like I look up to her so much. She
helped me a lot too, And I can look at
her all day. She's just fine. It's a glass of wine,
but anyway, beautiful.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
Anyway, I think that inside and out. You've been inside
no no, no.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
No, share you need somebody else to go inside, okay, anyway,
so she'd be so lucky to be in this cuban sandwich.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
Oh my god, I can't control her.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
I can't.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
She's her own person, she's her own persons, and you
know that this is her I'm learning every day.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
Tell them, tell them.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
People really ask me all the time that like, is
she really like that because they think it's a front,
Like she's actually like that.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
This is her person all the time. And after right
here the square rope in space and take gravity. I wish, no,
I don't wish, I've I've I've played sports with the
sports that she doesn't know how to play.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
I'm not a good sports there.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
You will be playing soccer and all of a sudden,
she whip like a pocket knife out of her out
of her back pockest and like be like, what this loophole?

Speaker 2 (17:16):
Not that I wouldn't.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
You're looking to me for validation. I don't like playing
the sports.

Speaker 5 (17:24):
Back to Lauren, Okay.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
I would love to get into your music. Okay, yes,
because we really are fans. We're so lucky, and your
voice is so powerful and has such a unique color
and shape to it. And then I'll hear the art
that you make, and it's really surprising to me in
a good way. Not that I have, I guess, any
kind of expectation of what your art went.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
No, but you hear an artist's previous work, and so
you always kind of feel like you know what to anticipate.
But Lauren has a surprise for y'all.

Speaker 3 (18:09):
Oh gosh, they listen to some of my Yeah, as
surprise as an understatement, yeah, I wish, But what we
heard was like I don't want to give any spoilers. Yeah,
I want to hear from you, like how you you know,
Like we talked about the other day. How this is
you right now? Like this is your sound right now?
How have you evolved as a musician, And like, how

(18:31):
do you see the universe, you know, getting ready to
receive this big gift that you're going to release.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
Oh well, I think it's just kind of I started
my solo music journey in twenty eighteen, and I was
like about twenty years old at the time or twenty
one years old at the time, And that was the
first time that I actually allowed myself to song rite.
I've been writing poems and you know, journaling and like

(19:01):
you know, dabbling and stuff my whole life, but that
was the first time I actually was like, Okay, I'm
going to dedicate myself to seeing what it is that
I would create, you know, like if I really sit
in a room with my own energy, my own thoughts
and get to guide the process from inception to completion,
you know. And so there was a lot of pop
in me residually because I was just in a pop

(19:23):
girl band, and there was a lot of R and
B in me because I was in a world of
R and B and I love R and B, you know, Yeah,
and it just naturally comes to me my voice lends.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
To it really easily.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
Yeah, And so that's kind of the first iteration of
stuff that came out of me. And then I had
signed with Columbia Records and they were like, hey, let's
try the Latina thing out with you. So they sent
me which fits. We're also fits, right, So they sent
me to Miami and she is honey. They sent me
to Miami and I worked with ne On sixteen and

(19:54):
I wrote quite a few songs. Only like one of
them came out, but like, I wrote like three or
four songs with a really good friend of mine, Christ
Chill and Chris Floyd as well, and I was really
able to tap into that kind of version of myself
and world of myself and my bilingual nature in songwriting
as well, which was really cool to explore and and

(20:16):
and get out because I feel like that whole era
was just me exploring myself. And I think that's kind
of my artistry in general, is me exploring myself. Like
I'm very introspective with what I write about. I'm very
much talking about my journey and on Earth and like
what makes me feel things? Why what I feel about things?
I really love to articulate, like kind of put into

(20:42):
form the way that I feel about shit because I'm
very empathic. I'm a cancer sun Scorpio moon Virgo writes,
Vergo write.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
Thing she helps me because she helps me execute.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
But the water in me really takes me to really
deep depths, you know, of my psyche, and if I
just stayed in my psyche with it, I feel like
I would literally lose my mind. So being able to
articulate it through music is something that really helps me
understand myself better. And then my prayer for them when
they come out is that other people can listen to

(21:15):
them and be like, wow, I've never heard this feeling
articulated like this, I can relate or she's capturing how
I'm feeling.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
You know.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
It's kind of where my intention for the music comes from,
you know. And so it's just kind of been a
journey like whatever it is that I'm going through, whatever
it is that I'm feeling, that's what I'm articulating through
my music. So, you know, Prelude was what I was
feeling at the time, and that's what I articulated a
lot of those songs I have written in twenty eighteen.
In twenty nineteen, when I was healing, like the beginning

(21:45):
stages of healing from you know, everything that I had
gone through from being shot into the famous world at
sixteen its crazy, which was crazy, you know, and especially
in the context of a group, it's really even harder
to really find yourself and know yourself in those forms
of years when you're doing it in front of an
audience and you're doing it with four other people around
you who are also growing up and getting to know

(22:05):
themselves and figuring out how to express themselves, you know.
So it was an amalgamation of all of that within
those first two projects, in Prelude and and in Between,
which ended up coming out in twenty twenty three. And
so those two first projects were who I was in
those moments and along the way a little bit because

(22:26):
there was like, you know, one or two songs that
I wrote closer to when it released, but most of
those songs I drew from that first iteration of me songwriting.
And then this project now, which I'm not telling you
the name of men.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
That's okay, so tell us they know.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
But this project now is an amalgamation of my feelings,
like because you know, after you make certain things, people
are like this worked, this didn't work.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
This is good for you.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
You sound good with this, And everybody has an opinion
right about what you should or shouldn't do in order
to make them money or yourself money, period, you know,
And I think that for me when I was going
into the studio, I was like, this is just what's
coming out of me, Like I can't force I'm not
the type of artist or writer that like can force

(23:13):
myself to make something. I can do it for other people,
you know, I can songwrite for other people all.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
Day, whatever genre.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
You thought that's so weird, right, Yeah, I also feel
that way. Yeah, you know, I feel like you feel
because it's.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
A source that you're connecting to that is requires, at
least from my experience, a kind of energy that you
it has to be on to connect to that part
of your artistry. And a lot of the time, at
least for me, when I've written stuff, I feel like
it's purging a feeling from me. Right, Like if I'm angry.
There's so many times that I'd be angry and like

(23:46):
literally write a song about it, or like somebody pisses
me off, write a song about it's something pisses me
and then It almost like transforms that feeling into something else,
you know. And when I'm writing stuff for a kids show,
you're connected, But that's what you're connectically, you know what
I mean, You're more connected to what can I do
with my skill set? How can I accomplish this task?

Speaker 2 (24:07):
Yeah? And I love storytelling, you know.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
I can tell stories from whatever perspective if you give me,
like I love executing a concept, if you give me
a concept, or you give me some parameters, like a prompt.
I love a problem, really good at it prompt the other.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Day, Yeah, oh I love that.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
Yeah, well, like promise on the top of a thing.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
But it wasn't like a random prompt. It was a
prompt that I do to excavate some stuff.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
I love that. That's beautiful. That's a beautiful approach, I
think to me too.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
I got that from like my creative writing classes, and
it would work. Yeah. I mean it's crazy because they
would have you do like these free right journals at
the beginning of the class and you always hate it.
You're like ye, and after a while you realize on
this page, Wow, yes, yes it really works.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yeah, So I can do that for like other people
really well, but when it comes to my own stuff,
like it's a very spiritual process. I'm really giving you
my diary. When I give you projects, you know, I'm
giving you my inner worlds. I'm giving you my perception.
I'm giving you you know, what is happening in the
world that is making me feel something.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
And that's what kept coming up for me.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
And it was really angsty, and it was really like
pissed off, and it was really sad and like also
joyful because you need to hold on to the joy
wherever you can get it. And so it's an amalgamation
of that and more alternative leaning because of it, because
that's the sound that lends to what I was feeling.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
Right, it's amazing. You guys are going to freak out.
We were like, either way, it's a beautiful picture.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
It's shut where you're at right now over the past
three years.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
And if you don't like it, you have no taste period. First,
I'm gonna tell you, Emily, that's why your name.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
School after her.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
Full Circle. You have to earn it.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
No, Okay, honestly, though, I really don't make stuff for
people anymore like I make stuff for inner child me.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Do you feel entertaining me. This project is where that
Oh yeah, I hear it.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
This project is like an enterteen means music. Like she
needed to make this feel like if you went back
in time and you played sixteen year old you this album.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
What do you actually be upseting?

Speaker 3 (26:28):
So sad? She would be upset.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
I know that because sixteen year old me would be.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
Yeah, especially because I was obsessed with.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
Paramour and follow out.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
Our generation is too. That's why we have like fremendos
because so many different kinds of music that we grew
up around what they somehow all creep.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
In in different ways. Yeah, and the influence cruis. That's
why people were like, oh what are you? Like, what
are you doing? Like I don't get you as an artist.
I'm like, you're not supposed to get me an artist.
I'm an artist. I have a whole lot of different
things to offer the world through my creative and that's
you can't put me in a box.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
We went to see your show here in Miami. You
have a tattoo about that which one.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
Better baby research and she's like, on your lower back,
it's down my spine.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
It's not my spine.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
It's really small, but yeah, it's as I am that
I am, which is from the power.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
Of now period. I love that.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Yeah, And it's just kind of like an assertion of
like I exist because I do.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
Period. There's no other reason why, you know. Yeah, it's just.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
We can think of a lot of maybe, but at
the end of the day, like at the end of the.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
Day, we're all just started. Literally we're made of starting. Yeah,
literally from outer space and water.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
I've actually felt carbon and water.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
Little oceans. And they think that the moods don't be
controlling us.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
They do for sure.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
Like the planet is seventy percent water, We're seventy percent water.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
We are tiny place. There's no better way to know
that we're a mirror of our reality.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
You know each other.

Speaker 3 (28:03):
I need a therapy session after this.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
I think you should sign up more psychic though.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
One thing that blew me away from your show that
maybe you can actually help me with which Jem will agree,
is I noticed your artistic attention to movement and the
way that you incorporated like dance and movement and lighting
into your show, Like have you always danced? Is that
something that you're that Do you feel like the visuals

(28:38):
go with your art?

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Yes, for sure. I started dancing when I was three.
I was in ballet, jazz and Spanish until I was
like seven, and then the school that I was closed down,
and my stubborn ass was like, I'm never dancing down,
so I didn't. I didn't like do dance clas after that,

(29:00):
but I would always dance in my room and choreograph
stuff like that. Was like one of my favorite creative
outlets was to take a song and interpret it, like
through choreo, through movement, and I do that a lot
with my music. It's like very contemporary, lyrical based stuff,
you know, Like I'm very much emoting the lyrics through
the movement and through the dancers that work with me.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
I love to do that.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
And it's such an important part of performance for me.
And like when I was in the group, we definitely
were hitting all those boopcats, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
The mescality was there, and.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
There was a lot of more hip hop influence and stuff,
and I still incorporate some of that into what I do,
but I'm much more fluid and much more like contemporary
with my movements. I love using my arms, I love
using just moments to convey what I'm saying and amplify it,
you know. And I love working with dancers because dancers
are just the backbone of the music industry.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
It's incredible.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
I need to take I just think that they do.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
They're like the perfect symbiotic relationship to musicians because what
we expressed through like song, they expressed through to their bodies.
It's like, well, I feel like we're like and it's
funny because I feel like all musicians. I don't care
if you agree with this or not. It's my opinion.
I feel like I have like all musicians on some
level are frustrated dancers, and all dancers on some level.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
Are frustrated musicians. There's like and then some people are both.
I know some people are which you never ever want
to see dance. Ever.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
I think I figured it out though. The other day.
She was like, if I see you dance with somebody else, No, that's.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
Not what happened, Jane, now gave you a terrible idea.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
Thank you Jew.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
She's like, oh no, we don't give people ideas out there.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
She's a great for ideas.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
She's like, I don't know, because you know, if my
boyfriend doesn't want to dance with me, so I told
him look, I'm going to go dance with somebody who
dances then, but then he's like, well that's one too
many dances. And she's like, well that could have been
you that got one too many dances, right.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
All I want to do is learn how to dance. Also,
like those people that use see it volunteered to do all.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
The go learn, I want to learn that. What's it called?
Like the idiot music where people just like kick their feet.

Speaker 6 (31:07):
It's cool to honestly, but like, sign me up, just
fill up your arsenal.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
No. I do need to learn to dance though, and
I have a lot of respect for dancers, but no, no, no,
I'm like, no, no connector. And the other thing is
that when I am connected musically, then my face looks
like I just ate a moldy lemon.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
That's the case.

Speaker 3 (31:33):
What am I supposed to do?

Speaker 1 (31:34):
That's yeah, I mean, but it's also part I feel
like there's a lot of dances that do the same thing.
They're better with facials, Like I feel like they practice
their facial expressions like when they're dancing, to like look
hot while they dance, even if they're doing something crazy,
you know, But that's part of training. You know, that's
part of the rehearsing and the and the practicing. It
is getting your your pictures, like what you want to

(31:57):
convey your lines, like how you want to complete sentence
movement wise. You know, yeah, it's just another language.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
It is exactly punctuated.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
I like to ask people this question because I actually
speaking of tattoos, I actually have an end quote here,
and it's from this quote that I once read that
basically said that no piece of art is ever finished,
only abandoned. And so I was like, let me give
myself the ending, you know, like that little satisfaction. So
I love to ask fellow artists in your process as

(32:44):
a creative, at what point do you know this is done?

Speaker 1 (32:50):
I thank my Virgo rising for this, because I know
when something's done, like for me anyways, at least when
you need to let it at least when I need
to let it go. Like I can let something go
because because there's a point that I reach, Like I
am so meticulous when I'm in the final stages of stuff,
like in the mixing stage or the mastering stage, and
I'm I sit literally behind the engineer and I'm like, no,

(33:11):
put that there. You know this no, and that they're
lo cut that off like three seconds before. Like I'm
super meticulous about that song wise, And I'll know when
a song's done when I listen to it and I
have no notes, you know, like when I'm going through
it and I'm like, there's nothing that I need tweet
almost as if you're just listening as like a listener

(33:32):
exactly sticks out.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
Nothing sticking out to me.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
Nothing is I can like play this and not be like,
oh shit, I need to do an ad lit there,
or oh I need a harmony.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
Here, like this is missing.

Speaker 3 (33:44):
This is missing.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
It needs a drum pattern right here, like it needs something,
it needs a guitar like there.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
Like I'll have all of those, like.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
Really meticulously thought out about each song. Each song is
like my baby, you know, and it's it's very much
like that. It's kind of like a like a I
don't know, like a painting, where like you know when
a painting's done if you're if if it because it's
whatever is in your line of vision, you know, is
like on the paper, you know.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
And that's how I feel about the music.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
Yeah, do you have any tips or tricks for fellow
artists out there? Even if you just they want to
try maybe to create or connect to their artistic self.
Like is there anything like a ritual that you do
or any kind of thing you do to get in
the headspace to go into a studio session or a
writing session, or does the mus just come to you
and you hit it?

Speaker 2 (34:34):
She is?

Speaker 1 (34:38):
I uh, tips and tricks. I think one thing I
would say is don't create for anyone, but you.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
You know, like have like find a way for your
art to be your practice.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
In the sense of like it's your baby that's coming out.
It's like you like, you're not They're not gonna let
a whole bunch of people tell you how to parent
your kid, you know what I mean, Like you're the parent,
right And it's the same kind of concept for art
because everyone's always going to have an opinion about what
sounds best, what's going to sell best, what's going to
do better, what's going to hit better, And you could

(35:14):
care about that stuff, you know, Like, I'm sure there's
plenty of executives that know what they'll push and what
they won't push, because at the end of the day,
the difference between a hit and a non hit is money.
Money literally money, and well visibility because now with TikTok
and stuff, you don't necessarily need money. It is about visibility, right,
you know, how many people get to see it, how
many people get to hear it, the opportunity to hear

(35:35):
the song, and that's usually connected to money. But aside
from that, like, everyone's always going to have an opinion,
even people who you don't value their opinion, you know,
like people who have no artistic bone in their body
are still going to have an opinion and be like, oh,
I would like it more if it was like this, Is.

Speaker 3 (35:52):
There somebody in your life whose opinion you do value
and value mine? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (35:59):
Period, I'm being honest, like your vision.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
Yeah, I mean I share stuff with people that I
that I like. I I love your taste in music.
I think you're an incredible musician. So when I shared
the stuff with you and you guys both gave me
the feedback that you did that really like, was like fuck, yeah, okay, dope.
You know, like my sister, I love sharing my stuff
with my sister. My has an amazing taste of music,
and she's a great school, great taste of music. My

(36:24):
whole family, I really I value their their taste of
music because I fun with their taste.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
You also know they're not trying to get anything.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Oh no, They're the last people that are gonna lie
to me too. They are not the type to sugarcoat nothing.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Cubans aren't known for holding.

Speaker 3 (36:39):
They're gonna tell me how they shave exactly.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
So when when my sister, my brother, my mom my dad,
like when I share stuff with them and they're like, wow,
you know I that was beautiful that you really like
conveyed that or like I would listen to this, you
know that means a lot to me.

Speaker 3 (36:56):
What about Cleo?

Speaker 2 (36:57):
You don't care what she thinks? Clearly you guys either.
Fun fact, you guys know we have a clear.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Also, yes, I also have a Cleopatra.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
I know that guards And I was like, wait, Cleil,
don't you guys have a cleup like she has a Cleo.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
Yes, queens Meda Meda, she really is. We said that
at the same time, so hard that you didn't even
realize we said it at the same time.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
Completely.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
We've talked about your music, We've talked about your incredible
work as a role model for all of us and
using our own voice, but you use your voice in
another way. Oh, yeah, you have a podcast I do
call it, which I love that name, by the way,
thank you. Yeah, it's also the name of my record label,
Oh epic.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
I don't know that way better than what I came
up with. It's like, what was your Alien Trip Records?

Speaker 2 (37:46):
I like that clearly.

Speaker 3 (37:48):
Yeah, there on brands.

Speaker 7 (37:51):
Try giving that email over the phone literally, so sorry
in advance, and my name is Jemony.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
Yeah it's hard.

Speaker 3 (37:59):
Okay, there's a lot of things going anyway, it's more
important don't use that email. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
So it's called the Tunement.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
It used to be on my Patreon and just kind
of like for Patreon subscribers. But recently I've been slowly
but surely uploading like archive episodes like the ones that
I do have on to my YouTube that I made
for it. It's a tumin podcast and on Instagram as
well and TikTok. Yeah, I think those are like the

(38:28):
ones we have because fuck Twitter, Yeah exactly.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
I don't even know those guys. I don't call it
anything but Twitter. I refuse to submit to that.

Speaker 3 (38:36):
Man. It it's just dumb.

Speaker 2 (38:39):
If it wasn't him, it's so dumb.

Speaker 3 (38:41):
It's so d I'm calling it Twitter comparing Okay.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
What what? What sparked that idea for you.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
During the pandemic Actually, well, the pandemic a little bit,
but you know, when it first started in twenty twenty,
I just realized that not only me, but the whole
world was in such a anxious space where nobody really
knew what to do with having so much time to
themselves or not having any time to themselves, depending on

(39:10):
what spectrum of the scale they were on. During that time,
I personally had a lot of time on my hands
and all of the stuff that I was supposed to
be doing taking off the table. And I had been
working every day of my life since I was sixteen,
so it was really jarring for me. And it was
a time where I really dove into my spirituality a
lot more, and I started meditating, and I started doing

(39:33):
all these different things to like heal. Heal essentially, or
at least I thought. I learned that healing is not
a linear thing. But at the time, I was like,
there's so many tools that I'm gathering right now, and
I really want to share those tools, you know, And
so every Sunday on Instagram Live, I would go live

(39:53):
either by myself or with someone that I.

Speaker 3 (39:56):
Followed who I thought was really dope.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
And who was helping learned stuff.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
And I did quite a few episodes, like episodes lives
where I just spoke to them and we spoke through
different healing modalities and you know, what is anxiety and
how does it come up for you? And how does
it manifest in the body? And you know, crystal healing,
and like all kinds of different things that were just

(40:22):
like helping me along the way. And also a lot
of social justice driven stuff because at the time there
was a BLM movement was really was really going and
popping off, and so all of these kind of things
I was I was talking about from different perspectives with
different people, and I would get like.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
A lot of people.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
Listening in, you know, and it was something that was
really consistently working for me. So then I ended up
taking it over to Patreon and connecting with just different
friends of mine, like different people that I've been following
that we've connected and or different people that I admire
and I admire their work in the world, and I
admire the way that they use their platforms or the

(41:03):
things that they've created from their essence.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
Another kind of journal another kind of journal.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
Yeah, it's like a talk format of the same kind
of concepts, just more healing, social justice oriented. Like the
intro of the podcast just talks about how it's like
our awareness of one another and our interconnectivity and the
intersectionality of everything that we are going through as a collective.
You know, it's really for the collective, Like it's an

(41:29):
offering to whoever feels lost or confused or like there's no.

Speaker 3 (41:37):
Voice for their struggle through this all.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
You know.

Speaker 1 (41:42):
I wanted to create like a toolbox for people to
come to and listen to different creatives and different like
artists and different because I have like amazing interviews with
like Age Monet and like my friend Ravina.

Speaker 3 (41:55):
Like just really beautiful, wide range of interviews that I
was gonna ask you, you can pick deceased or live.
What would be three dream people you'd want to talk
to on your pod other than Gemini because obviously we
your first choice.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
Dumb, dumb, dead or alive. I would love to talk
to Nina Simone.

Speaker 3 (42:19):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
Yeah, I think that would be incredible. I'd love to
talk to Martin Luther King Wow. Junior and Bernie Sanders.

Speaker 3 (42:29):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
I love to talk to Bernie, say, hey, I feel
like that would have that was around the court one day,
one day You're already you're like, there.

Speaker 1 (42:36):
Yeah, I really I even though there's stuff for stuff
that I don't agree that he does like for the
most part, I think he's one of the most consistent
representatives for like progressive agenda, and I feel like we
would have been in so much better hands. How if
we turn back the clock of time and in twenty
sixteen he would have.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
Been our president.

Speaker 3 (42:58):
I think that we would be living in a very
different world right now.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
For Yeah, would you ever get into politics and try
to take them down from me in time? You know,
I can totally see that there's a part.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
Of me that would want to do that maybe at
some point in my life. But I also feel like
the whole system is so deeply corrupt at this point
that and this is what a tuman is about too,
as an ethos is I want to render the system obsolete.
The system that is at play. We're all bought into
it with our time, ourt tension, and money and our resources.

(43:31):
We are the cogs that make the wheel go. And
if all of the cogs one day decide, hey, actually
I don't fuck with the system, and there's a whole
other system that they can buy into with their time, attention,
and money, and that it works better for them, and
that allows them to feed their kids, and that allows
them to have a roof over their head, and that
allows them affordable things.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
You know. Like, I think that my.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
Goal with whatever it is that I create in this
world is to is to check challenge what we know
to be the absolute truth. And it's like, there is
no absolute truth. Everything is malleable, and everything is upheld
by ideas, by by what we all choose to believe.
And a belief is just an agreeable truth. Everything is

(44:17):
it really is all an illusion and yeah, it is,
it really is. And so capitalism has reached a point
where it is completely extractive and the only the concept
of capitalism is consistent growth and exponential growth and more
and more and more and more and more and more
and it never ends.

Speaker 3 (44:36):
And by the way, that's why do we think our
resources are being drained and our earth is shriveling exactly
taking right, But there is a like.

Speaker 1 (44:47):
Resources, you know what I mean, There are things that
are not renewable, and that's the point. But renewable is cyclical,
Cyclical is indigenous. The wheel of life is constantly circling, seasons,
go and come, you know, Like that is the way
of nature, that is the way of life. And so
if we don't have systems that follow that way of life,
we're always going to get to a point where there's exploitation,

(45:09):
where there's destruction, where there's suffering. And I don't think
suffering is necessary, you know. I feel like there's well,
there's necessary suffering, necessary violence, necessary violence, you know what
I mean. And there's a lot of unnecessary violence right
now that it's just not needed for us to survive.

Speaker 3 (45:28):
It's more so to maintain a.

Speaker 1 (45:30):
Specific level of lifestyle for a very small percentage of people.
And I don't think that's fair.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
You know.

Speaker 1 (45:36):
And so I really am invested with my whole essence
into dismantling that in whatever kind of ways I can,
and building worlds and building realities that people can tap
in with that they can be like, oh, if I
go into this world, then I can just live in
that ecosystem, and that ecosystem takes care of itself, and
I don't have to be a part of these extractive forces.

Speaker 2 (45:56):
A lot of people are shocked by what they're seeing.
Se Gi, this is do this is just the veil
has been lifting, Yes, and this is what it is.

Speaker 1 (46:03):
It's not new for Indigenous people. It is not new
for black people. It is not new for Latinos who
have been in cages since before and are in literal
concentration camps for years at this point. You know, like,
this is this is something that is the way of
America and has always been the way of America since
its inception. Because it's a colonial state, you know what
I mean, there's no it's the same with another place.

Speaker 3 (46:24):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
It's like their colonial state. I love that other place. Yeah,
I don't even say it like.

Speaker 3 (46:29):
Well you got my vote. I wouldn't wish that on
my worst enemy.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
You know, there's a part of me that does kind
of want to do it just because nobody who should
do it? Yeah, but because it's so nasty thing to do,
and because you have to.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
You know, it's also just so hard because there's people
that you have to play the game. There's people that
want to get there. But how do you battle a
corporation like Coca Cola or Meta, right, you can't you
it's him. It feels it feels impossibly, fels impossible. It
feels impossible because we've had some pretty good maybe not

(47:09):
completely wholly perfect, but we had some pretty good candidates
that have shown up, that have had different points of
view and offered different perspectives and maybe would have actually
changed maybe not holy, but maybe would have changed the
face of politics. And they just can't get there.

Speaker 3 (47:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:25):
Well, they're also blocked a lot of the time, and
they don't belong to either wing.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
Establishment, which is a problem because they're all.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
For the ruling class. They don't care about us. They
don't care about us.

Speaker 3 (47:36):
That's another song right there about us, Michael.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
Sorry, anyway, we should take a little break. I could
go really deep into this ship.

Speaker 3 (47:54):
I'm good, Right.

Speaker 2 (47:58):
We'll take a little break, and when we come back, we're
play a little game because we've come full circle.

Speaker 3 (48:02):
Yay. Oh, I don't want our time to end.

Speaker 2 (48:04):
I know it doesn't have to. After this, what do
you do?

Speaker 3 (48:08):
We're going to start her campaign?

Speaker 2 (48:11):
It okay? Well we are about let's start.

Speaker 3 (48:13):
With the mayor of hi Leah.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
Wait, what we are back?

Speaker 3 (48:29):
So we're back.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
Yeah, We're gonna play a little rapid fire with you, Lauren,
and I know you can do it. Cute, let's go,
we'll take turns. Okay, okay, okay. First, if your voice
had a signature sent, what would it smell like?

Speaker 3 (48:42):
Oh, like a smokey vanilla? I agree, yeah, because we
know you. I learned recently weird. If you don't know
that very weird?

Speaker 2 (48:52):
The flavor? Yeah, oh okay.

Speaker 3 (48:57):
If your dog Kleio could talk, what is the first
thing she'd say to you? Oh, my god, scratch my butt,
scratch me now.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
But mom, if you're a professional boxer, what would be
your walkout song?

Speaker 3 (49:13):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (49:16):
I have to think about this one. Do you want
to go back to it? I mean it's supposed to
be rapid, I know.

Speaker 3 (49:20):
But I can't.

Speaker 1 (49:21):
I like, have no songs coming to mind right now.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
Just picture it right, you're walking out the audience is wrong?

Speaker 3 (49:28):
Would be Vagina by Cupcake?

Speaker 2 (49:31):
Maybe this is a your your gabe, it's her?

Speaker 6 (49:34):
Right?

Speaker 2 (49:35):
Oh all right? What's playing?

Speaker 1 (49:37):
I don't know, she's like maybe something missy Elliot.

Speaker 3 (49:41):
Oh yeah, that's.

Speaker 2 (49:45):
Badass, like she's a bitch. Yeah, okay, love it, love it.

Speaker 3 (49:50):
That's a good one.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
I'm gonna go with that.

Speaker 6 (49:51):
Baby.

Speaker 3 (49:53):
What's your most impressive but completely useless talent. H Oh,
like I can do this?

Speaker 2 (50:03):
You really are an alien? Huh that's crazy useless, useless,
I can. I can do nails really well.

Speaker 3 (50:13):
But that's not useless. Nail that's not.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
Useless, right, impressive with surprise, Okay, yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:20):
I can do like manicure. Yes, I'm like such a perfectionist.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
I know I'm going to call you because I got
you girl. I love to do it really, yeah, I
have also set up in I do love to do it.

Speaker 1 (50:31):
I never like I used to do it for my grandma,
my sister.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
That's the day. That's awesome, love it.

Speaker 1 (50:37):
I can also face paint, really, I used to do
face painting and all the like little birthday parties and stuff.

Speaker 3 (50:45):
Learning the tea.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
That's how useless.

Speaker 3 (50:46):
That's it's kind of useful, a little business. If you
never need to call me for your cology.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
If you ever don't want to be a songwriter, singer, poet,
this politician, podcaster, you could be a manicurist.

Speaker 3 (51:05):
Honestly, I gotta just at it because I feel like
those are consistent. There you go, instead of like a
meet and greet at her show, you can get a
vi p where she does your.

Speaker 2 (51:14):
Nails, VI P little face paint, and then you go
out to Oh that's a great idea.

Speaker 1 (51:20):
Another building after please, we're giving another building and with
the b T three.

Speaker 2 (51:28):
Okay, what's the wildest DM you've ever received?

Speaker 3 (51:31):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (51:31):
Lord, like that, I remember, so I don't really read
d ms. If I'm being honest, that's a shame.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
That's how I met. Oh that's a lie. Yeah, that's
such a lie. Wet that's how you met Your dogs
are dogs?

Speaker 1 (51:46):
What?

Speaker 6 (51:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (51:48):
Yes, but no, forget all that.

Speaker 2 (51:51):
Moving forward anyway, what's the wildest DM you remember? The
wildest I don't. I don't.

Speaker 1 (51:59):
I don't really read them. I only read dms from
like people who get past the verified.

Speaker 3 (52:04):
Give me my phone or something weird right now, send
me something crazy. The new picture meets Tonny sunning my
Oh yeah, it's a little invasive.

Speaker 2 (52:16):
I don't assume she wants to see that. I don't.
I really.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
Oh you know what, while this DM I ever got
was from someone I thought was my friend who sent
me a dick pic.

Speaker 2 (52:26):
Full frontel.

Speaker 3 (52:28):
In the middle of the day.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
That I was I was like, it is one hundred
percent and he had a whole girlfriend, and I was like, sir,
what the fuck?

Speaker 2 (52:37):
So, like, how is that the opening line?

Speaker 1 (52:39):
It wasn't the opening line we had. We had already
we had a friendship. That's what was weird about it.
But that was what was wild. Oh yeah, no, just
I think.

Speaker 3 (52:47):
It's cute too, like at least put a little hat
on it.

Speaker 1 (52:49):
I think it was incredibly under the influence. But either way,
like so rude and girls, your wack is out. I
hope you see this, so you know.

Speaker 3 (52:56):
How, I hope your girlfriend is not with you anymore.
She is, I hope fell off. Okay, amen. Next, if
you had to turn one of your random thoughts into
a TED talk, what's the topic.

Speaker 2 (53:08):
Hmmm.

Speaker 1 (53:10):
I have so many thoughts all up in my podcast
that could become TED talks. Probably what I was talking about,
like our divestment from like rendering the system obsolete.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
Love that I could totally I'll listen to you talk, yo, honestly,
Ted wherever.

Speaker 1 (53:30):
Or like you know, just using creativity as a I mean,
as a vehicle for expression.

Speaker 3 (53:37):
Maybe we could try to find a way to brainwash
people with music.

Speaker 2 (53:40):
That's what I want to do. You can definitely brainwash it.
I love doing that nothing else.

Speaker 3 (53:44):
That's what it's all about.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
Okay, Okay, Aliens land on Earth and demand One Lord
heregi song to understand Humanity? What track are you playing
for them?

Speaker 3 (53:57):
Always Love Love that Yeah, because we're a dysfunction, you
asked me.

Speaker 2 (54:02):
I would have been like the day the world? Oh wait, due,
you really want to understand humanity? Understand?

Speaker 3 (54:11):
Are right? Honestly that's a really powerful time.

Speaker 2 (54:14):
No, I like always Love. That's good. We could you know,
I think both of those are good.

Speaker 3 (54:17):
We'll be like, hey, like give us a break. Did
what you guys?

Speaker 1 (54:21):
When I was playing the album, they were like, okay,
we only have time for like three songs.

Speaker 3 (54:25):
I was like, okay, well it was midnight.

Speaker 2 (54:28):
No, I hope you know we want to listen to
No you were.

Speaker 3 (54:31):
Tired, bro, Like it was freaking latest though, and we
had already been said.

Speaker 2 (54:35):
You know, I did say yes every time. Tell me
that it didn't wake us up?

Speaker 3 (54:39):
It did.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
We were like we're gonna go yeah, wait a minute.
I was like, fully leading forward.

Speaker 3 (54:46):
Music. It's good music, good music, all right? What's a
conspiracy theory? You kind of believe She's like, how much
time you got.

Speaker 2 (54:59):
A conspiracy theory? That I kind of believe. Can I
get like really out there with it? It's your world.

Speaker 3 (55:04):
A lot of these politicians are pedophiles. Oh I don't think.

Speaker 1 (55:07):
It's not a theory, Okay, but that's they still try
to make that true.

Speaker 3 (55:10):
Like it's not.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
It's not like, you know, terrified.

Speaker 1 (55:14):
Yeah, a lot of these people that we clap for.

Speaker 3 (55:18):
And as a president city presence, there's a lot more
being revealed about a lot of people that have been
in a lot of positions of power that we're going
to learn very scary, sad things about.

Speaker 1 (55:28):
It hasn't been bad enough, and I hope that like
people actually give a funk because I feel like we
know these things and it's not a conspiracy theory anymore,
but like they're still in positions power and not.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
People prefer to look away. It's wild. They will die
on their hills. They really will. They really will.

Speaker 3 (55:44):
During the pandemic, this one is.

Speaker 2 (55:46):
Supposed to be rapid fire.

Speaker 3 (55:47):
Whatever I want to hear, conversation, we're in space. It's
to make it quick. I'll make it quick. During the pandemic,
there was this one going around that floored me because
there were all these videos of people who are living
in areas next to or near Walmarts, and in the
middle of the night they would hear this construction noise
and they would go to see what was going on,
and all the windows of the Walmart were blocked out

(56:09):
and they were like military vehicles like in the Walmart.
So there was this big conspiracy going around because they
were like all over that the military actually has tunnels
under the Walmarts connecting them because if something were to
happen in the world, like a global pandemic or war
or whatnot, and martial law would be enacted, that that's
where they would put all the headquarters. Are you ready

(56:31):
guess what Walmart is? Backwards mark like mart law. Wait
a minute, that's.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
I believe that ship.

Speaker 3 (56:43):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (56:44):
I believe that ships so hard. And also just how
fucked Walmart is as a company, Like yeah, absolutely, I
believe it.

Speaker 3 (56:53):
Anyway, Sorry for the diversion.

Speaker 2 (56:56):
It's okay, all right. If you could have warblesone, If
you could have for dinner with any historical figure but
they had to roast you the whole time, would you
pick it? You can just make an historical figure that could.

Speaker 3 (57:09):
Grow, but like it's Rosa parks out here like calling
me short like that was getting me.

Speaker 2 (57:16):
They had to roast me the whole time. Malcolm X.

Speaker 3 (57:21):
That I feel like he'd give me Yeah yeah yeah,
you get all my ash yeah yeah yeah, yeah, okay cool. Okay.
What's one Cuban dish that feels like home with them? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (57:34):
My mom used to make that for me, or does
make of I love that's my dish. By the way,
when I first learned how to cook, that was the
ship that I would throw.

Speaker 2 (57:44):
That's crazy, that's not easy, like yeah, but like Cuban version.

Speaker 3 (57:49):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I don't know that.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
I know the difference.

Speaker 1 (57:52):
The woman who like worked with us growing up, like
like me type housekeeper.

Speaker 2 (57:58):
She she was from Cool obviously. Her name is Norma.
We used to call her. She was like our third grandma.
I love her. Shout out to you.

Speaker 1 (58:09):
But yeah, she would make me that all the time
when I got home from school and I would be
waiting for me and.

Speaker 2 (58:13):
I watched their process.

Speaker 3 (58:16):
Okay, so.

Speaker 1 (58:18):
Will I see and my grandma actually used to make
me like with my lot.

Speaker 2 (58:30):
Yeah, I've never tried that.

Speaker 3 (58:32):
Oh, people be mixing.

Speaker 7 (58:34):
She's like that not really what it is. No, no, no,
there's only one Maddo that I really like. There's this
lady that she like frequents the Miami fresh market circuit.
On Saturdays, you'll always find her Coca to Grove and
Sunday she's usually the pie crest on. Her name is
the Boy and she does.

Speaker 3 (58:52):
Raw vegan food.

Speaker 2 (58:54):
And she has these mads that are centraally raw, but
she does something there. Her spirit is her. You don't like,
I don't like my budles like periods. I love they
killed that. They really do the other day, you know,
my sister moved away. I told you I was on
facing with her and I was like showing her, like, look,
will you move back yet?

Speaker 3 (59:13):
I'll show you.

Speaker 2 (59:15):
She was like, damn, dude, it's so specific. It is
so specific. You you only know if you know.

Speaker 1 (59:20):
We're going to have to get some yummy.

Speaker 2 (59:23):
That's all right.

Speaker 3 (59:24):
Well, before we deorbit, first of all, I want to
say thank you so much. Every conversation we'd have we
have with you, cameras or not, is impactful. But I
feel blessed that we were able to capture this one
for our journal journals and so that you can be
a part of our story up here in space.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
Thank you for having it's.

Speaker 3 (59:42):
An honor you know where.

Speaker 2 (59:45):
And when you guys here.

Speaker 3 (59:46):
Look, I'm very much looking forward to what's ahead for
you and the art that you're going to release and birth.

Speaker 3 (01:00:02):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
I get her, I know, I'm so happy.

Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
Gonna break up with very funny all right. Well before,
we're going to show you a tradition that we do
up here in space. It's where I report the news
that's happening in space because we don't hear that often.
And as I will say, don't look at her. Everything
you're gonna here is one truth. This is the only
place that I really take myself seriously and I don't
choke on you thrive. Yeah, I'm ready as network safe news.

(01:00:34):
All right, ladies, Germs Jermones drumats with a crew swap looming.
The Expedition seventy two team aboard the International Space Station,
decided to stage a mini space Olympics. How fun events
included synchronized floating bubble blowing contests and a race to
catch floating eminem's with their mouths. The grainy footage shared
during a hand of the ceremony had ground control in

(01:00:56):
stitches and fans calling for an annual tradition. Funnily enough,
these childlike Outer Space Olympics cost three point two times
as much as the real Olympics, wasting five point two
billion of your tax dollars and hours of valuable time
and research and space.

Speaker 2 (01:01:09):
Is it really five point two billion dollars? I just
report three times.

Speaker 3 (01:01:14):
I would love to see what our girl Samone can
do anti gravity, though that would be tight. Crew members
of NASA's Space ex Crew ten mission are in the
final stages of launch preparations after completing a dry dress
rehearsal at NASA's Kennedy's Space Center in Florida. Reportedly all
went well, except for some sloppy high kicks, turned out feet,

(01:01:36):
and Elon's slightly sharp, lizard like singing. I just report
the news, Okay. This month, skywatchers and the Americas will
witness a total lunary clips that mirrors one. Christopher Columbus
is said to have used to his advantage over five
centuries ago to scare indigenous people. What a lovely guy

(01:01:58):
he wants. Luckily he is long gone, because if he
were alive today, I would rub my blood moon all
over his dumb face.

Speaker 2 (01:02:05):
Amen, and this has been space News good right, lovely segment.
