TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

Welcome to Mini Music Monday, Adele. Hi, Lou. Hi. We're in bed together.

We're on a bed. We're on a bed. We're kind of perched. You're sort of perched on the edge of a bed.

Hey, guess what I found out while I was running out to get the adapter. What? We're on top of a big hill. Oh, yeah.

You can see the entire, almost the whole finger lake from the, from once you drive out of the hotel and take a left, you realize that the whole, the finger lake is extended before you and, and downtown Ithaca. There's just one finger lake. Oh, there's several finger lakes. Oh.

There might be five. Maybe that's why they called them finger lakes. They're named finger lake. I don't know.

We're going to find that out. Finger lake one, finger lake two. I've got a lot to ask our audience tonight. Yeah, you do.

I have a lot of questions today that I came up with today. I was, I, I never knew that there was a name for lower New York. I didn't either. Especially when we're in up, or New York State.

Upstate. Upstate New York is such a common way. It's confusing New York. It's a very commonly known upstate.

People say, oh, upstate New York, but what about middle state New York? What do they call that? I don't know, but I'm just sitting here kind of zoning out thinking about how quirky it is up here. Yeah, it might be the lower tier.

It's kind of quirky. We've got a lot of questions New York State. I liked driving through it today. Song commencing and like a couple song commencing and.

Ah. You kind of took my all the all we have. You kind of took my soul. You're right.

You're sleeping in my car. You're right. And you're shining the way you're jumping through my skull. You're right.

You're chasing. That was my original demo for skull. I found it. That's, that's really incredible.

You think it's incredible? I found that version of skull. I'm pretty sure I never released it, but who knows? I'm not.

But I found it, you know, I found it on this four track tape that I was, that I got high school off of. I think some fans might really dig that getting to hear that. It's kind of depressing to me because I think it's a perfect structure of the song and I altered it for the recorded version. So I'm a little bummed.

I actually like that structure much better than what happened on the record. I do have to say that was a pretty cool version of skull. The lyrics weren't perfect yet. I did.

I did. I was still working out the lyrics. I changed the lyrics quite a bit as he's just slapping that modeling. Here's some pounding slash slapping sounds in the background.

It's incredibly interesting. It's some modeling magic. It is some innocent slapping going on across the room from us here at the hotel. Flapping some turquoise model magic around, making it her BITCH.

We heard a rich girl today by hauling out on Spotify and Izzy commented that it had the B word in it, which was bitch. Yeah. You know, that song apparently came out on my birthday, I think. I think that was like when you were born literally the day that you were birthed.

It was April 3rd, 1977. That's right. You know, others, I've seen this thing where it's like, take it or leave it. I could leave it.

You could leave the song? Yeah. Rich girl? Yeah.

Well, I noticed today that he sings, it's a bitch girl. Yeah, I prefer that. I mean, I don't know if that is a. I don't know if that is a.

That is a. That is a. That versus you're a bitch girl. I thought originally it was sort of a Mandela moment where it was like, I believed he said you're a bitch girl.

I don't know actually, but I mean, I love the playlist. We were listening to like a deep cuts Yacht playlist on Spotify. It was good. It was good.

It was good. We've enforced a note tailor during the drive. Yeah. So as you fans know, because we're all dedicated, we're all impressions listeners, I had a breakout of hives after the last tour.

It wasn't specifically the whole tour. It was really more of a drive home from Brooklyn in the night that put me over the edge. But the point is that the stress may have been caused by Taylor over the line. I also was I was feeling a little, I needed a break from Taylor.

A lot of Taylor. We heard a lot of Taylor. Song commencing. Song commencing.

Yeah. That's a good song coming till you're after it's done. It's bright. Song a girl.

The other. Song a girl again. She's so hard. I could hardly cry.

Song a girl in my dreams. She stopped and asked me how I'd been. I told me that she wanted me all the way. Song a girl.

She stopped and asked me how I'd live. I told me that she wanted me all the way. I told me that she wanted me all the way. I found it would just happen to be next to Skull on the cassette tape.

It's just a song that never saw the light of the day? Yeah, it never saw the light of the day. Well, it's a redo. I redo of a song that I wrote in high school.

Really? Yeah. It's a redo. I hadn't seen it.

What'd you make? Is he made? Is that a swing? It looks like a cumbra bun.

It's a swing. Oh, she made a swing. A swing out of Crayola modeling. Anyway, I had actually written a song in high school.

But this girl, I had a huge crush on this girl. What was her name? I have no idea. I don't know.

It was almost like this ethereal. Like, visage. What's she real? I'm not sure if she was real.

She would just appear in the hallways and I'd be like, who is that? In Westfield? In Westfield. Westfield High.

And I never found out who she was. But then one day I saw her out in real life, like on the street, while I was driving my car. Just randomly? After high school?

Or still while you were in high school? Still while I was in high school. Oh, okay. My car was my parents' car.

And when I said it was my car. That's very teenage thing to do. This is my car. Yeah.

I felt like my car. Sure. I wish I could rattle off the model. Teenage stink all over it.

Hey. I'm assuming. I was pretty clean. I didn't get dirty until I was in my 20s.

Let's get back to this crush. Yeah. So what happened? You saw her?

I saw her on the street. And I shook so hard I could hardly drive my car. I didn't know if she was in my car. I did.

I was like, wow, that's intense. That was real. That's a real thing that happened. I don't even know if she was in my class.

Yeah. Who is she? Who knows? Mystery Girl.

Never found out. That's sweet. I would even scour the yearbook. Where is she?

I couldn't find her. I don't know if I can happen. She was, I don't know. I thought she was extraordinarily beautiful.

So you wrote that song. That's so sweet. She had blonde hair. Nice.

Kind of like you. Well, my hair isn't blonde anymore. Kind of blonde. It's a honey brown.

I would say. We're not talking about you. We got a little interruptor here. This is the girl in a room together, you guys.

A blue and I are on her bed. Is he's over at the table? You know how your hotel room comes with a table and a chair? Like a chair that kind of spins so quickly.

You hope you're seven year old. It doesn't go fine off it. I guess those business folks need to spin your chair at their desk. So you just found that song?

Do you even know the name of it? Is there a title? I just titled it when I found it. What did you title it?

I saw my girl. Oh, nice. It's a little presumptuous to say she was my girl. Just like you were taking ownership of the car.

You're taking ownership of the girl. Hey, it was the 1980s. It sounds the tracks. The waning days of a patriarchy.

Oh, God. Thank God. The waning days. I think the patriarchy is still effing us up plenty.

Oh, yeah. I saw a couple of monster trucks when I went out looking for the corrected day. I think something's missing. I don't know why they have those big trucks.

What's missing? It seemed a bit insecure. They were very high up. Their tires were big.

They had a big sign on the back that said fuck Biden. I'm like, who's Biden? I'm like, oh, right. He's the president.

Who's that? Wow. Who's that? I'm surprised they even let his name be on their truck.

I know. They want to fuck Biden. They want to fuck him? Apparently.

Wow, poor Biden. They're like, sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry for him. They're like, we're looking for Biden. I don't think he signed up for that.

We're going to the capital of the fuck Biden. Oh, my God. They're insecure and they're tools. Oh, boy.

Okay. Just ride your big old truck there. Is he? Come here and say goodbye to everybody.

Say goodbye. Hurry up. Now get over here. Hurry up.

We got to go get 10. Hurry up. I'm so hungry. Hurry up.

Come here. I feel like all I think about right now is chips and salsa. Here. Bye.

Wait. They can't hear that. Oh, God. All right.

It was almost like she thought that was a modeling play. She thought you could get to hear the modeling play. That was kind of cool. She was trying to do like an ASMR thing with the modeling play above the microphone.

Look at me. Okay. It's not working. All right.

Sache. Away. My dear. People should come and see me play.

Yeah. Well, they'll miss tonight because tonight's done. All right. Come on.

Come on. Please, please. Don't miss tonight. Tonight.

Tonight. Tonight. James down. It's a trip.

Come on out. See you later. Bye bye.
