Yeah, it's a mood, it's a vibe, it is right,
it's a way, it's it's a feeling.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
A feeling way of life like that. I like embracing it. Yeah,
feeling yeah, yeah, exactly, just calmness, pampering, loving on myself,
setting boundaries and yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Just is it hard for some women to soften up?
Speaker 3 (01:31):
I think if you're constantly like taking care of everyone else,
whoor like, if you're used to being independent and like,
you know, breadwinner and energy like that, it's hard to
kind of soften up in different ways. But yeah, or
if you grew up with I don't know, trust issues
or traumas, like, there's different reasons as to why people
are a little bit more right, harder than others.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I grew up with like a bunch of brothers that
just beat you up. As Yeah, my wife to enter
a soft girl.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
She's currently in her I dress.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Like Adam Sandler.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Arrowing on her.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I love her to death, you know, we love yeah,
but yeah, we share clothes and it's like, you know,
you know, dang soft enough, but you.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Know, crop one of your hoodies.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
She can do that. Go for it, you could go.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
For it, Jackie. Would you say you're in your soft
girl row, are you a bit?
Speaker 5 (02:27):
A bit?
Speaker 6 (02:27):
I guess we're not all the way there. I think
it's just very much. I'm very much still like in
like my hard grind mode, and like I need to
get out of that, and I need to trust him
more with being like, all right, I got you. Yeah, yeah,
because I know he does, but I just need to.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
It's all trying to embrace it. The other day, she's
very sick and she wants to kiss Nico, her fiance.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Nico pushed her off because she's not feeling well.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
It wasn't physical, It wasn't physical. He basically backed up
and said no, because she's sick. Yeah, and he can't
get sick. He's also working here, right, we can have
two people down on the show. So she got offended
by that. Would I don't know, No, Jeff, we're right.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
You and I are right, and Nico's right for because
I'm I'm on an hourly wage, so miss I ain't
getting if she missed works, she's still getting.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Yeah, yes, my man, it worked for you.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
So I made money and she got better and she
still made money.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
And her argument was, you want me to be more feminine,
but you pushed me away when I'm trying.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
To be I was sick though, so I'm sorry for
your sickness.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Now yeah, I'm good enough.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
Good Now she's.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Goodness, she wasn't dying. It's important, right, So yo, we
linked up with du Prix.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, Soft Girl Era. I like that man good vibe. Right,
he brings that that mood. I guess right, Yeah, you
can do it right.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
He's lovely. He's the reason why it's even called soft
Girl Era because I'm like, okay, jad, what we're gonna
be talking about? And yeah, he just was looking on
the internet and then he found what the girls we're
talking about? And I was like, yeah, I want this
form my life, like wow, no stress, no drama, just
happiness and peace and relaxation, you know, because I drive
(04:19):
a pickup truck and like usually like I'm a man
really exactly, and I'm just I'm just tired of being
such a man.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
So yeah, I'm.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Tired of being such a man.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
Literally, I feel that I get it. I get it
because I feel like we're just always.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
Like again, so on the go, and I feel like
as women, we already have to have, we already have
the odds against us we already have to have a
tough exterials, or when it's when we're able to just
be comfortable in our own femininity, like it's even more
great and amazing to feel that way.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Exactly what else is coming with the soft girl era?
Obviously more music, right, more so girl music?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Yeah, definitely, Yeah, And then it's not just soft and
like I want to be pampered way, it's like soft
feeling the feels to like giving myself grace with just
like you know, like just whatever emotions I'm feeling. So
a lot of the songs on the album are really pretty.
I have a song called under the Moon where I'm
like howling about like knowing, howling about this guy who's
(05:25):
just like I know you're aware, wolf, but you you're
lying and telling me you're not. So Yeah, it's really
a lovely song. It's just a lot of different things
about oh yeah, like that. That's basically that's it how
it goes.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
But when you're in the studio and you're creating, nothing
nothing is off limits, right.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Nothing is off We're gonna how We're gonna how Yeah.
It just felt right, it felt natural.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
How many songs do you have worked out.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Wow, I don't even know. Probably eleven or twelve is
going to be on the project number yeah, thank you?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
So yep, yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
We have a song called Horoscope where I'm just going
in on all of the signs and how they're all trash.
Not me though, everyone else.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Every other sign is trash. Yeah, okay, So what would
you say about Pisces?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Wow, they're the fish that can't be caught?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
No, what what's the ship you would say about Pisces?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Did I say that about them? I think said something.
I gotta remember what I said about them, But I
just know that they.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Are Fishmaries to right, really can be trash too.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Oh yeah, yeah, every every other aries but myself.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
It lands on me and then it skips you.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Right.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
No, I think he's a Leo.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Leos trash.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Well, I wouldn't say this about you, but the particular lead.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
What you want to say?
Speaker 3 (06:59):
The particular Leo that I dated, He just was a
little toxic. He threatened me and little things like that.
I wouldn't say you would.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I said the same thing about Yeah, you dated a Leo,
so you're a.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
What does that mean?
Speaker 3 (07:21):
But I love my sister, I.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Just don't love you.
Speaker 7 (07:26):
I mean yeah, yeah, No, I mean yeah, I think
it was scorpios. I think scorpios get the most bad
rap out of any horoscope.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I think it's just the man scor.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
No geminis though, right, because they're like two face right, horrifying, Yeah, horrifying, horre.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
So are aries. We're feisty. Honestly, I think it's all
kind of delusion, a little bit astrology. I think it's
like it's a lot of things. Environment, Yeah, it's environment, traumas,
different things make you into who you are, and I
think sometimes astrology can be a bit of of a distraction.
I don't know if how one hundred any of all of.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
This stuff is.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
It's all I guess it's in what you believe, right,
or what you want to believe. You say delusional. Garcia
says it's bullshit.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Yeah, I'm open. I guess to whatever the truth is. Yeah,
I'm open.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Have you ever gone to a psychic medium?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:18):
I have.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Well, my friend Boots, he basically was just he did something.
He was just like, yeah, there's someone around you who's like,
this is my niece. This is my niece. And I
was like, oh my god, that's my aunt Jewel. It
has to be. Like she was the only one who
was who would brag like, this is my niece, this
is my niece, so like yeah, and then yeah, I
(08:42):
think the other one was lying the other psychic guy
a moment with but like yeah, but what.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Came out of that was that was that an emotional
moment for you?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Was that the one?
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Yeah? It did? It? Did it?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Was?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
It felt good to know and to kind of like
reassure me of like I feel like the other side,
like your family is with you, like they're your guides
and that feeling inside it's not just intuition. I believe
it's God. I believe it's if it's your family members, I.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Think that's right, that's right, checking in.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Right, Yeah, like giving you like guidance?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Was that to increase your writing ability?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Was that?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Were you in search of something?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
No? I just kind of happened to be on a
friend show Monice and I didn't expect this. I didn't
want it. Yeah, yeah, Mony, she's lovely.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yeah, absolutely, I don't want.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
She was so lovely to me. We did a beautiful
interview and Boots was there. That's how we met, and
he just was like, I'm gonna do you and I'm
like all right, and yeah, and then he told me
your aunt's around and I knew. I knew, or yeah,
I knew.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Where do you draw your inspiration from when creating current experiences?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Beautiful production can always inspire like, okay, what am I
going through? And then we pair it together and it's
just beautiful. So that's that's really it. A lot of pain,
a lot of love.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
You have to confront all of that in order for
it to work for you.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, and that can be hard. Yeah, I
will say drama for sure is like creates the best music.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Said, A masterpiece can come out of.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Drama literally more than like more than love. Yeah, I
don't really talk about like sweet love. It's always like damn,
you almost killed me, so.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Yeah, but it comes out so beautiful than all that
pain comes out so beautifully. Yeah, not for real.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Soft Girl Era is out everywhere.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
I like to cover thank you really yeah, thank you
as a man and as a person, a human being,
as someone as a maybe a creative I don't know
what I am, but yeah, I think I think it
says everything it needs to say.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Thank you. Yeah. I'm in my little like l woods
bag a bit I just tapped into like my girliness.
But you know, el Woods was dope. Like she was
also powerful and intelligent, but she knew how to command
a room with her fashion and her beauty. And I
just feel like she she was able to control a room.
A bit manipulative in a good way, I would say,
(11:18):
And that's why I sucked with her. But like el
Woods as.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
A character, that's right, yeah, iconic, right.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Yea absolutely getting into Harvard law. Like, it's hard. It's hard,
depends on who you ask.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Right for sure? Nah, man, there's a I know that
we were talking about the soft air. There's a Whole
Foods across the street, right, and I'm like, I wonder
if she drives by that Whole Foods is like you.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Wait me, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Were you fired from the Whole Foods or did you
live on your own?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
I think I was only fired from Wendy's. It was
really bad. What happened. Lots of condiments, Well that's comments
condiments going everywhere. Oh, but yeah it was really bad.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
It was bad.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Yeah we'll skip over it. But yeah, it was only
it was only Wendy's. But Whole Foods that was cool.
I think I just probably quit because I usually just
quit all my jobs. Yeah, and that's why singing is great,
because I can quit and then come back.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
That's right, that's right. And it'll always be there for
you a little bit. Right. It's not necessarily a job
that you need, it's it also needs you.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Yeah. Yeah, music, thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah, I've been. I've been to therapy so.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Too. Really every Tuesday, you're still going, still going for you.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I gotta go back, yeah yeah, yeah, okay, that's all right.
You know, sometimes you just gotta I don't know if
you want to stop stop, yeah, think about things, go back.
But I think everyone needs it.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I think no matter who you are.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Man, it keeps me in check because I'm it's very
easy for me to create these imaginary villains in my head.
And my therapist has helped me realize, Okay, what is
the evidence that this person is destroying your life? Like
and it helps me, like you know, lessen the emotions
a bit, or like there's this circle of trust thing
(13:15):
where it's like she's helped me to find Okay, this
person is stressing you out, causing you all this trauma
or whatever. Who are they in your life? Is this
an acquaintance. Is this a companion? Is this your soulmate?
Is this an intimate person? And then when you start realizing,
oh shit, this is just an acquaintance. Why do I
expect so much out of this experience from someone? Why
(13:37):
do I have so much expectations? And it's been helping
me really compartment or like just dissect like who is
for me? Who, like where people.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Are in this circle?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Is it writing music as well?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I don't know. I just started getting into this like
like December.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
Ever since then, have you felt that, like that's kind
of how you go about like picking and choosing people
like in your life and how you want them immediately close.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Wow. Yeah, Like just yesterday I was talking to my
friend Camellia and Mollie, who I also like work with,
you know my they do my hair and makeup, and
I realized we were just talking about how like how
we slowly over the years like crossed all of those
you know, barriers like from acquaintance to co workers slash
(14:32):
companions to I feel like we're at the friendship level
now and I've and you know, it was just a
beautiful moment and feeling like, oh shit, like we've grown
so much like the vulnerability is there, and it's nice
to see like where else like it could go like
you know, not in a wild Yeah, but.
Speaker 7 (14:52):
I think, especially like within this industry too. I think,
especially within this industry too, it's cool to see how
relation ships like that, whether it's like friendships or anything
like that, how they can progress to Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
You have said you're at a level five when it
comes being gay. Oh I did, Wait, you did say
that a.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Few years ago. I think it's I think it's yeah,
it's still there.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I feel good to say them.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
But yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
If you want a relationship with a female, you almost
have to put yourself in that situation or in situations
to warrant that right or to I.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Guess, yeah, I probably should. That's why I don't. I
think I'm just full of ship because I feel like
talk about things. I think there are things that I
could do to increase this opportunity, but I just never
do them. Like I don't go to gay clubs, you
know what I'm saying. In search for a wife, like
I you know, when I'm dating online, I don't, you know,
(15:57):
my preferences are always men, So I think I think
it's just like there's an attraction there that's just like
it stays there.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
Yeah, it's an appreciation.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
But I think you want to I think they want
to happen by mistake, right, you want it to happen
by mistake.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I think you want someone to bring it out of you.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Yeah. And I feel like the women that I've been
attracted to in life, it's never been a mutual thing.
So like it's like, I don't know, it just never
happened naturally. But I don't know. I think I'm kind
of leaning towards I don't know, just more than to guys.
It's always been that way, but there's always been like
a little like wow she's really pretty.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Mm hmm, just like little crushes.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Yeah, but like sex, I don't know it. It's like
that's where it's just it stops for me, like in
my mind, you know, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
You can appreciate a pretty woman, yeah, but not necessarily
see it all the way through. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Yo, you and some are walking me.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
The podcast really Yeah, thank you talk man.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
That's funny.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Man, I do love summer. That would be cool.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
That'd be crazy.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
I think we're pretty like you guys know. Yeah, yeah,
I would do it, though I'm not busy. I'm not
that busy. I wouldn't find the time for.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Are we going on tour this summer? Are we thinking
about it?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
I hope so. So I'm trying to get this album
out in a few months, like my label and my managers.
I don't I don't know if how how realistic it
is for like it to happen. I mean, the songs
are still being mixed and mastered, so I'm literally being ridiculous.
But I would like it out in two months, so
(17:38):
if it can hurry up and get out, then I
would say, not hurry up. I'm not being like.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Your people. She said, take your time to hurry up.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
No, no, no, not not. But in the fall, I
believe if we can get the album out, the.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Tour would be crazy. Yeah, the tour, let's get it.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
I think a fall tour is definitely a perfect for
like a Soft Girl too, because I think when I
think of Soft Girl, I think of fall.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Really yeah, that's amazing. I think of the spring in
summer and really past the colors and naked.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Naked.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
No I think, I think, I think more bundled up
and fall and cold and yeah yeah love and yeah
and rain and rain and snuggling.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
No, I feel you. Yeah, that's the love part of
soft Girl. Yeah yeah. After the party and now we're
in love and like getting married.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Jackie wants to go to your show. Yeah, go home,
smoke weed and cuddle.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
Yeah, Like she's so cool.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
She's one of the coolest people on earth.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
She really is being like so pretty. I was on
this tour and like we met backstage and she just
has this good like woman energy, Like that's a baddie,
like just just smells good. Just everything about her is
like woman like it was just dope and a girl's girlfriend. Yeah,
girls girl like Yeah, I guess it was just such
(19:45):
contrast because her music is just so like, you know,
like hard, but like yet she's such a I don't know,
just everything about her is so like feminine, like in.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Real life, I think you give that off too.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Thanks, but no, this was different. I feel like I
want to I want to be as like fancy, like
I don't know how to explain it. She's like really
like it's not pretend like sometimes I feel like me
dressing up a little bit is just like Okay, let's
we're gonna fool today because I like looking a mess
and going to the gas station looking a mess.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Yeah why not?
Speaker 3 (20:19):
You know why not? A no?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Hell no.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
So that's that's why I draw my line. That's a boundary.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Sexy was just in here. She says she's got a
hundred move.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I don't want to shave.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
That's like you're not doing the move.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
That's just too far from me because I'm already just
like it's just already be looking a mess like that's
too like that's far too far. Yeah, I gotta you're.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
Like, I'm just okay with sweats and the shirt or
like a sexier like lingerie piece, like like maybe a
little satin dress or something.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
But like, yeah, that's that would.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
No.
Speaker 6 (20:59):
Yeah, I feel like your picture yourself.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
The energy is always right here. Yeah, it's soft girl er.
Congratulations on it.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
You.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Yeah, it's a mood, it's a vibe, it is right,
it's a way, it's it's a feeling.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
A feeling way of life like that. I like embracing it. Yeah,
feeling yeah, yeah, exactly, just calmness, pampering, loving on myself,
setting boundaries and yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Just is it hard for some women to soften up?
Speaker 3 (01:31):
I think if you're constantly like taking care of everyone else,
whoor like, if you're used to being independent and like,
you know, breadwinner and energy like that, it's hard to
kind of soften up in different ways. But yeah, or
if you grew up with I don't know, trust issues
or traumas, like, there's different reasons as to why people
are a little bit more right, harder than others.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I grew up with like a bunch of brothers that
just beat you up. As Yeah, my wife to enter
a soft girl.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
She's currently in her I dress.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Like Adam Sandler.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Arrowing on her.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I love her to death, you know, we love yeah,
but yeah, we share clothes and it's like, you know,
you know, dang soft enough, but you.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Know, crop one of your hoodies.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
She can do that. Go for it, you could go.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
For it, Jackie. Would you say you're in your soft
girl row, are you a bit?
Speaker 5 (02:27):
A bit?
Speaker 6 (02:27):
I guess we're not all the way there. I think
it's just very much. I'm very much still like in
like my hard grind mode, and like I need to
get out of that, and I need to trust him
more with being like, all right, I got you. Yeah, yeah,
because I know he does, but I just need to.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
It's all trying to embrace it. The other day, she's
very sick and she wants to kiss Nico, her fiance.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Nico pushed her off because she's not feeling well.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
It wasn't physical, It wasn't physical. He basically backed up
and said no, because she's sick. Yeah, and he can't
get sick. He's also working here, right, we can have
two people down on the show. So she got offended
by that. Would I don't know, No, Jeff, we're right.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
You and I are right, and Nico's right for because
I'm I'm on an hourly wage, so miss I ain't
getting if she missed works, she's still getting.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Yeah, yes, my man, it worked for you.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
So I made money and she got better and she
still made money.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
And her argument was, you want me to be more feminine,
but you pushed me away when I'm trying.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
To be I was sick though, so I'm sorry for
your sickness.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Now yeah, I'm good enough.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
Good Now she's.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Goodness, she wasn't dying. It's important, right, So yo, we
linked up with du Prix.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, Soft Girl Era. I like that man good vibe. Right,
he brings that that mood. I guess right, Yeah, you
can do it right.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
He's lovely. He's the reason why it's even called soft
Girl Era because I'm like, okay, jad, what we're gonna
be talking about? And yeah, he just was looking on
the internet and then he found what the girls we're
talking about? And I was like, yeah, I want this
form my life, like wow, no stress, no drama, just
happiness and peace and relaxation, you know, because I drive
(04:19):
a pickup truck and like usually like I'm a man
really exactly, and I'm just I'm just tired of being
such a man.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
So yeah, I'm.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Tired of being such a man.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
Literally, I feel that I get it. I get it
because I feel like we're just always.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
Like again, so on the go, and I feel like
as women, we already have to have, we already have
the odds against us we already have to have a
tough exterials, or when it's when we're able to just
be comfortable in our own femininity, like it's even more
great and amazing to feel that way.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Exactly what else is coming with the soft girl era?
Obviously more music, right, more so girl music?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Yeah, definitely, Yeah, And then it's not just soft and
like I want to be pampered way, it's like soft
feeling the feels to like giving myself grace with just
like you know, like just whatever emotions I'm feeling. So
a lot of the songs on the album are really pretty.
I have a song called under the Moon where I'm
like howling about like knowing, howling about this guy who's
(05:25):
just like I know you're aware, wolf, but you you're
lying and telling me you're not. So Yeah, it's really
a lovely song. It's just a lot of different things
about oh yeah, like that. That's basically that's it how
it goes.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
But when you're in the studio and you're creating, nothing
nothing is off limits, right.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Nothing is off We're gonna how We're gonna how Yeah.
It just felt right, it felt natural.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
How many songs do you have worked out.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Wow, I don't even know. Probably eleven or twelve is
going to be on the project number yeah, thank you?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
So yep, yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
We have a song called Horoscope where I'm just going
in on all of the signs and how they're all trash.
Not me though, everyone else.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Every other sign is trash. Yeah, okay, So what would
you say about Pisces?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Wow, they're the fish that can't be caught?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
No, what what's the ship you would say about Pisces?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Did I say that about them? I think said something.
I gotta remember what I said about them, But I
just know that they.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Are Fishmaries to right, really can be trash too.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Oh yeah, yeah, every every other aries but myself.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
It lands on me and then it skips you.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Right.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
No, I think he's a Leo.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Leos trash.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Well, I wouldn't say this about you, but the particular lead.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
What you want to say?
Speaker 3 (06:59):
The particular Leo that I dated, He just was a
little toxic. He threatened me and little things like that.
I wouldn't say you would.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I said the same thing about Yeah, you dated a Leo,
so you're a.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
What does that mean?
Speaker 3 (07:21):
But I love my sister, I.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Just don't love you.
Speaker 7 (07:26):
I mean yeah, yeah, No, I mean yeah, I think
it was scorpios. I think scorpios get the most bad
rap out of any horoscope.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I think it's just the man scor.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
No geminis though, right, because they're like two face right, horrifying, Yeah, horrifying, horre.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
So are aries. We're feisty. Honestly, I think it's all
kind of delusion, a little bit astrology. I think it's
like it's a lot of things. Environment, Yeah, it's environment, traumas,
different things make you into who you are, and I
think sometimes astrology can be a bit of of a distraction.
I don't know if how one hundred any of all of.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
This stuff is.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
It's all I guess it's in what you believe, right,
or what you want to believe. You say delusional. Garcia
says it's bullshit.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Yeah, I'm open. I guess to whatever the truth is. Yeah,
I'm open.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Have you ever gone to a psychic medium?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:18):
I have.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Well, my friend Boots, he basically was just he did something.
He was just like, yeah, there's someone around you who's like,
this is my niece. This is my niece. And I
was like, oh my god, that's my aunt Jewel. It
has to be. Like she was the only one who
was who would brag like, this is my niece, this
is my niece, so like yeah, and then yeah, I
(08:42):
think the other one was lying the other psychic guy
a moment with but like yeah, but what.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Came out of that was that was that an emotional
moment for you?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Was that the one?
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Yeah? It did? It? Did it?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Was?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
It felt good to know and to kind of like
reassure me of like I feel like the other side,
like your family is with you, like they're your guides
and that feeling inside it's not just intuition. I believe
it's God. I believe it's if it's your family members, I.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Think that's right, that's right, checking in.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Right, Yeah, like giving you like guidance?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Was that to increase your writing ability?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Was that?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Were you in search of something?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
No? I just kind of happened to be on a
friend show Monice and I didn't expect this. I didn't
want it. Yeah, yeah, Mony, she's lovely.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yeah, absolutely, I don't want.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
She was so lovely to me. We did a beautiful
interview and Boots was there. That's how we met, and
he just was like, I'm gonna do you and I'm
like all right, and yeah, and then he told me
your aunt's around and I knew. I knew, or yeah,
I knew.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Where do you draw your inspiration from when creating current experiences?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Beautiful production can always inspire like, okay, what am I
going through? And then we pair it together and it's
just beautiful. So that's that's really it. A lot of pain,
a lot of love.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
You have to confront all of that in order for
it to work for you.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, and that can be hard. Yeah, I
will say drama for sure is like creates the best music.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Said, A masterpiece can come out of.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Drama literally more than like more than love. Yeah, I
don't really talk about like sweet love. It's always like damn,
you almost killed me, so.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Yeah, but it comes out so beautiful than all that
pain comes out so beautifully. Yeah, not for real.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Soft Girl Era is out everywhere.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
I like to cover thank you really yeah, thank you
as a man and as a person, a human being,
as someone as a maybe a creative I don't know
what I am, but yeah, I think I think it
says everything it needs to say.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Thank you. Yeah. I'm in my little like l woods
bag a bit I just tapped into like my girliness.
But you know, el Woods was dope. Like she was
also powerful and intelligent, but she knew how to command
a room with her fashion and her beauty. And I
just feel like she she was able to control a room.
A bit manipulative in a good way, I would say,
(11:18):
And that's why I sucked with her. But like el
Woods as.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
A character, that's right, yeah, iconic, right.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Yea absolutely getting into Harvard law. Like, it's hard. It's hard,
depends on who you ask.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Right for sure? Nah, man, there's a I know that
we were talking about the soft air. There's a Whole
Foods across the street, right, and I'm like, I wonder
if she drives by that Whole Foods is like you.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Wait me, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Were you fired from the Whole Foods or did you
live on your own?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
I think I was only fired from Wendy's. It was
really bad. What happened. Lots of condiments, Well that's comments
condiments going everywhere. Oh, but yeah it was really bad.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
It was bad.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Yeah we'll skip over it. But yeah, it was only
it was only Wendy's. But Whole Foods that was cool.
I think I just probably quit because I usually just
quit all my jobs. Yeah, and that's why singing is great,
because I can quit and then come back.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
That's right, that's right. And it'll always be there for
you a little bit. Right. It's not necessarily a job
that you need, it's it also needs you.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Yeah. Yeah, music, thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah, I've been. I've been to therapy so.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Too. Really every Tuesday, you're still going, still going for you.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I gotta go back, yeah yeah, yeah, okay, that's all right.
You know, sometimes you just gotta I don't know if
you want to stop stop, yeah, think about things, go back.
But I think everyone needs it.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I think no matter who you are.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Man, it keeps me in check because I'm it's very
easy for me to create these imaginary villains in my head.
And my therapist has helped me realize, Okay, what is
the evidence that this person is destroying your life? Like
and it helps me, like you know, lessen the emotions
a bit, or like there's this circle of trust thing
(13:15):
where it's like she's helped me to find Okay, this
person is stressing you out, causing you all this trauma
or whatever. Who are they in your life? Is this
an acquaintance. Is this a companion? Is this your soulmate?
Is this an intimate person? And then when you start realizing,
oh shit, this is just an acquaintance. Why do I
expect so much out of this experience from someone? Why
(13:37):
do I have so much expectations? And it's been helping
me really compartment or like just dissect like who is
for me? Who, like where people.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Are in this circle?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Is it writing music as well?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I don't know. I just started getting into this like
like December.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
Ever since then, have you felt that, like that's kind
of how you go about like picking and choosing people
like in your life and how you want them immediately close.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Wow. Yeah, Like just yesterday I was talking to my
friend Camellia and Mollie, who I also like work with,
you know my they do my hair and makeup, and
I realized we were just talking about how like how
we slowly over the years like crossed all of those
you know, barriers like from acquaintance to co workers slash
(14:32):
companions to I feel like we're at the friendship level
now and I've and you know, it was just a
beautiful moment and feeling like, oh shit, like we've grown
so much like the vulnerability is there, and it's nice
to see like where else like it could go like
you know, not in a wild Yeah, but.
Speaker 7 (14:52):
I think, especially like within this industry too. I think,
especially within this industry too, it's cool to see how
relation ships like that, whether it's like friendships or anything
like that, how they can progress to Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
You have said you're at a level five when it
comes being gay. Oh I did, Wait, you did say
that a.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Few years ago. I think it's I think it's yeah,
it's still there.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I feel good to say them.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
But yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
If you want a relationship with a female, you almost
have to put yourself in that situation or in situations
to warrant that right or to I.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Guess, yeah, I probably should. That's why I don't. I
think I'm just full of ship because I feel like
talk about things. I think there are things that I
could do to increase this opportunity, but I just never
do them. Like I don't go to gay clubs, you
know what I'm saying. In search for a wife, like
I you know, when I'm dating online, I don't, you know,
(15:57):
my preferences are always men, So I think I think
it's just like there's an attraction there that's just like
it stays there.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
Yeah, it's an appreciation.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
But I think you want to I think they want
to happen by mistake, right, you want it to happen
by mistake.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I think you want someone to bring it out of you.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Yeah. And I feel like the women that I've been
attracted to in life, it's never been a mutual thing.
So like it's like, I don't know, it just never
happened naturally. But I don't know. I think I'm kind
of leaning towards I don't know, just more than to guys.
It's always been that way, but there's always been like
a little like wow she's really pretty.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Mm hmm, just like little crushes.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Yeah, but like sex, I don't know it. It's like
that's where it's just it stops for me, like in
my mind, you know, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
You can appreciate a pretty woman, yeah, but not necessarily
see it all the way through. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Yo, you and some are walking me.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
The podcast really Yeah, thank you talk man.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
That's funny.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Man, I do love summer. That would be cool.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
That'd be crazy.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
I think we're pretty like you guys know. Yeah, yeah,
I would do it, though I'm not busy. I'm not
that busy. I wouldn't find the time for.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Are we going on tour this summer? Are we thinking
about it?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
I hope so. So I'm trying to get this album
out in a few months, like my label and my managers.
I don't I don't know if how how realistic it
is for like it to happen. I mean, the songs
are still being mixed and mastered, so I'm literally being ridiculous.
But I would like it out in two months, so
(17:38):
if it can hurry up and get out, then I
would say, not hurry up. I'm not being like.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Your people. She said, take your time to hurry up.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
No, no, no, not not. But in the fall, I
believe if we can get the album out, the.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Tour would be crazy. Yeah, the tour, let's get it.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
I think a fall tour is definitely a perfect for
like a Soft Girl too, because I think when I
think of Soft Girl, I think of fall.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Really yeah, that's amazing. I think of the spring in
summer and really past the colors and naked.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Naked.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
No I think, I think, I think more bundled up
and fall and cold and yeah yeah love and yeah
and rain and rain and snuggling.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
No, I feel you. Yeah, that's the love part of
soft Girl. Yeah yeah. After the party and now we're
in love and like getting married.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Jackie wants to go to your show. Yeah, go home,
smoke weed and cuddle.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Or just stay on the tour bus like the whole
time and just be in love.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
And I love Gloilla's too. I don't know if I
said that the last time, but that was phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Crazy.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Yeah, Like she's so cool.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
She's one of the coolest people on earth.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
She really is being like so pretty. I was on
this tour and like we met backstage and she just
has this good like woman energy, Like that's a baddie,
like just just smells good. Just everything about her is
like woman like it was just dope and a girl's girlfriend. Yeah,
girls girl like Yeah, I guess it was just such
(19:45):
contrast because her music is just so like, you know,
like hard, but like yet she's such a I don't know,
just everything about her is so like feminine, like in.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Real life, I think you give that off too.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Thanks, but no, this was different. I feel like I
want to I want to be as like fancy, like
I don't know how to explain it. She's like really
like it's not pretend like sometimes I feel like me
dressing up a little bit is just like Okay, let's
we're gonna fool today because I like looking a mess
and going to the gas station looking a mess.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Yeah why not?
Speaker 3 (20:19):
You know why not? A no?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Hell no.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
So that's that's why I draw my line. That's a boundary.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Sexy was just in here. She says she's got a
hundred move.
