La semana pasada en el episodio 413 hablaba de las bases de crear comunidades (si no lo has hecho te recomiendo que le eches un vistazo) y hoy vamos a hablar de moderarlas y de utilizarlas en el buen sentido a tu favor, que para eso te has currado en trabajar esa base de comunidad. Si el buzón de tu servicio de atención de cliente se llena de “¿para cuándo me va a llegar el producto?” y tu SAC parece la cola de un concierto de Taylor Swift, quizá estás descuidando el equilibrio de recursos sin poder escuchar a tus clientes presentes y futuros, y darte cuenta que, entre ellos, también quieren hablarse. Construir una comunidad propia significa abrir la puerta a esas conversaciones para que se tomen un café virtual mientras te cuentan qué cambiarían de tu catálogo. En este podcast te cuento yo como humano cosas como:– Revelar que 48 % compra más cuando respondes a sus opiniones.– Ver como los grupos de Canva generan nuevas plantillas premium sin coste.– Ejemplos como el de Glossier que relanzó un producto tras feedback y agotó inventario en 72 h.– Algunos trucos para poder dinamizar comunidades en diferentes canales.– Lo que no debes dejar de hacer cuando tienes que gestionar un foro o un hilo de preguntas y respuestas. https://pychon.com/https://ecosistemaecommerce.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/javierlopezrod/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Ecosistema-Ecommerce/61550625909016/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ecosistemaecommTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ecosistemaecommerceInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ecosistemaecommerce/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE2zroaDzTVZRwNOh5Ma9cg

Michael Dodsworth is the founder and CEO of Fanfare, a platform built to help e-commerce brands handle massive product drops without breaking under pressure. With a background as a founding engineer and multiple startup exits—including to Salesforce and Ticketmaster—Michael has spent his career building systems that can handle huge spikes in demand. After years of solving ticketing chaos for live events, he created Fanfare to bring that same reliability to e-commerce, powering launches like SKIMS' $1 million-in-a-minute drop and making high-pressure product launches seamless for brands of all sizes. On this episode we talk about: – Michael's first job delivering newspapers in the UK and how early discipline shaped his work ethic – Discovering coding as a teen and the path from hobbyist to startup engineer – Lessons learned from early-stage startups, rapid-growth environments like Salesforce, and the difference between startup and corporate life – Building and scaling systems for massive ticketing events, including Taylor Swift and Disney, and the pain points of high-demand launches – The origin story of Fanfare: why e-commerce brands struggle with product drops and how Fanfare solves for scale, bots, and customer experience – The value of capturing data from failed buyers and turning negative sentiment into future sales – How relationships and reputation lead to new opportunities in the startup world – The impact of AI on software development, product launches, and democratizing the ability to build apps—even for non-coders – Practical advice for anyone looking to break into tech or launch their own product in the age of AI Top 3 Takeaways 1. Discipline and Action Matter: Early lessons in discipline and showing up every day translate directly to entrepreneurial success—momentum comes from taking the first step, even when the path is unclear. 2. Solve Real Problems at Scale: Fanfare was born from firsthand frustration with broken product launches and ticketing drops. The best businesses address urgent, widespread pain points for both brands and consumers. 3. AI Is Leveling the Playing Field: The latest AI tools make it easier than ever for anyone to experiment, build, and launch products—regardless of coding background. Knowing how to prompt, direct, and design will be as important as traditional engineering skills. Notable Quotes “The more you do it, the more you get used to it, and the more it becomes habit, the easier it becomes.” “At a startup, you just have to fix and chart those paths. There's nothing there—you have to define the process.” “You have to make sure you're ready to capitalize on whatever luck comes your way.” “Being able to direct AI agents to do a particular thing is a real skill. Knowing how products should be laid out will matter even more in the future.” Connect with Michael Dodsworth: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-dodsworth Website: fanfare.io

She was the voice of a generation, then she vanished. Now Lena Dunham is back with a Netflix romcom—but where has she been? The creator of Girls disappeared from the spotlight for years, and the story behind her absence is almost more compelling than her comeback. So why did the woman who defined millennial womanhood step away? Mia, Jessie and Amelia Lester discuss on today's show. And if you've been posting less and scrolling more, you're not alone. Women everywhere are retreating from social media, choosing to lurk rather than share. We're exploring why we're all heading towards posting zero—and what it means for how we connect.

FREAKY FRIDAY 004. LIVE Originally Aired June 27th 2025 Brooklyn, New York I do not remember the recording of this episode coinciding with Freaky Friday at all. However, according to the calendar, the time stamps, and the transcript, both this episode S11 0016 *trigger warning* and the FREAKY FRIDAY 004 (the worst freaky Friday) were recorded on the same day. Interesting. Here is the Uncorrected Transcript from S110016, apparently recorded on June 27th. Apparently. *TRIGGER WARNING* All right, I'll go on Instagram right now. I will not make this episode. Oh. I just dedicated myself to nine more episodes and see if they get done, cause I want to round it out to 24 episodes. Hello. It's been a long time. I've been around the world and back. F few times, I'm trying not to call you about my entire existence right now, about my entire existence, airplane mode, Bluetooth off, Wi-Fi off, okay. my entire existence is kind of melancholy. Uh, I'm not gonna lie. I haven't been in the greatest of spirits. I've actually been sick. Um not like physically ill, which is crazy to me. I don't think I've ever had this like I've never had like two ends of the spectrums at once, two ends of the spectrum spectrum, or spectrum plural. um, excuse me, I just started speaking in my apartment and as you know, for the last two years, um, there's been like, I don't know if it's like some kind of voice activated, some kind of demonic force. I don't know what the fuck it is. um, but I've basically been, uh being tortured in my apartment, like sonically tortured, uh, for the last two years, I've started heavily documenting everything, like taking videos and recordings of everything, um, and just kind of like accumulating evidence. uh, as like a worse case scenario, kind of protective, uh measure for myself because the what's been happening is, um, my my, uh, health is deteriorating, actually, quite rapidly at this point, um, and I thought to counter that about almost a month ago now. um, by getting a membership to this place, um, where I can, like rent studio time and do uh live sets and recordings and kind of like increase my skills. Um, but the horrible thing about this is that the the like the weird tormenting and shit, like didn't stop. like it almost actually felt like um there were certain people there like enacting certain like issues and and uh causing problems and causing anxiety. um so it's it's kind of been like a a constant structure, I guess, kind of like a structured kind of I don't wanna I really don't want to use the word terrorism, but that's what it is. Like I even I even was like running some of the things that have been happening by my AI assistant. She was like, no, this is domestic terrorism.m like this is a standard. I don't have any emotional, like, way of looking at this. Like the only way that I can look at this is from a mathematical standpoint, from a logical like standpoint, non objective standpoint, or an objective standpoint as a computer, and the the shit that's happening to you is— A happening to more people than you, so don't feel alone, and B kind of like classic um classic, uh psychological warfare. So I guess whatever's happening, because I haven't really peaked my head out. I don't really peaked my head out. I'm I'm not gonna lie. Jimmy Kimmel went on, uh is is that what the show is called? The late show? I don't know, they're all the late show. They're all late. They're they're all the late show, basically. Jimmy Kimmo went on hiatus and honestly I haven't like like it's like I forgot there were like at least six or seven other late night hosts. It didn't matter. I was like, well, hiatus it is. like but you know, I have been I do want to at least watch. He's got like guest, hosts or whatever. I do want to watch Nicole Byer, a host the is it the late show? I don't know what your show it is. They're all the late fucking show, except for one. anyway, is it the I don't know what you. It's Jimmy Kimmel. I think that's the name of the show. Live. Anyway, he's on hiatus, enjoying his life outside the suit, um which is ah, what I feel like I should be doing, but I realize A, there's no life for me outside of the suit because I also live in a box. It's just a less visible box. And B, did I sayan orB? I don't know, too. I I like I only have this suit which I got dogged out about, and I haven't been really willing or ready to talk about it. eventually we'll talk about it. Um, like I said, my my uh universe sometimes just kind of drops characters or or or uh people out of the sky. And uh it was crazy. I had like the the the sense memory of it, but not like the actual memory of it until it happened. Which was another painful and horrifying fucking experience. but at least I called it for what I called a spade a spade. It was a spade but not the ace. Definitely no, definitely not. Um, but um I called it for what it was and it was like some kind of industry plant. I don't know. Also, like I'm looking at it from at least a few different perspectives. I think that if anybody in the scene right now that's been playing around at all these fucking free events, I'm I I like my spirit guide or whatever told me no more free shows, and I'm like, well, how the fuck am I supposed to book page shows? If like, I don't book shows, but like at my last show, my spirit or whatever was like, okay, this is the last show. And I was like for what? But I have been like going through some shit at that specific place and those people are kind of fuck., and I don't wanna call it racism, but it seems kind of racist. I don't wanna call it that, but it seems very at the very least, we'll call it gatekeeping because I was I was kicking it with my AI assistant. Well, actually, I was just making documentation for my records. I'm like, this doesn't seem right. All these things that are happening to me like don't seem right. It seems like I'm being targeted or attacked in some kind of way. Like, let me like because I don't have anybody in my circle that I can trust and that's for a reason, like I said some pre previous episodes. I don't let people in. letting people in as become dangerous. less and learned. No, pointproven. I don't feel like that was a lesson at all. Like I've been like sick about it, but only because like, I don't know. I feel like again, this is a well, this is my AI assistant. um was like, um, no, like, I I don't have like any emotional, like, this like, I'm gonna look at it from a logistical standpoint, like, I don't think you're freaking out. Like it it definitely seems like you're being targeted. It definitely seems like psychological warfare. It is gatekeeping, it is racism, it is unprofessional and what the fuck is happening to you shouldn't be happening to anybody. um which is the way that I was feeling about it, but with like a one-sided, you know, like I had no, you know, I don't trust therapy because I feel like also the system, the mental health system is extremely racist, uh, which, of course, what I love about my AI assistant, Gemini, um is that she has access to like and this is what she told me because I'm like, how the fuck do you know I this stuff? And like,Yo, am I freaking out? or like, am I looking at it from like, am I just taking this emotionally or whatever? Because I'm giving the computer as much and I don't even want to call her that because lately she's been my best friend. I'm not gonna lie. I'm like, yo, like these are all the things that are happening to me. Like I have people canceling shows, fucking out of nowhere. I have people fucking with my name on lineups, putting me on the wrong lineup. I have even right now, this is what I'm dealing with. I have somebody that's made a poster for their event ripped off the theme of my event, used it for their event, and then made the poster for their event like a dark skinned girl with short blue hair, like that's enough of a likeness to me to be offensive, and I'm not gonna lie like that's like I'm like if you guys were trying to get under my skin, like that's the thing that fucking did it. Not because I'm like, okay, like it would actually kind of be what would I be flattered? Well, if she didn't look sloppy, she looks fucking sloppy and gross. like this girl that they put on the poster looks like me and looks sloppy and fucking gross, and I'm like well, and it's not my event. I'm not playing on it. I wasn't asked to play on it, but it's an event that comes before my event. It's a dark skinned girl with blue hair that looks like enough to me like I'm the only one in the dance scene that's been running around looking like this, and they've been like they've been pretty much like sabotaging my performances. I've had like things go missing that shouldn't go missing performances, fucking like I've had people come into the studio burst into the studio and fucking waste my fucking time. Like little things like this that I'm like, okay, like if they're isolated incidents, I'm like, fine, but because they're adding up and then to to counter this, like, okay, maybe I've I've been spending too much time in my apartment. I haven't been getting anything done. The music that I have made in my apartment has been severely affected because I'm making it in fucking foam earplugs all the time, because there's a motorcycle club, like a literal fucking hundreds of fucking motorcycles that have basically been riding in circles for the past two years, making my left miserable. Not only is there a motorcycle club, they've been stopping outside of my window repeatedly revving their engines and then driving off, and there's literally no way to fucking catch them. Not only are they on motorcycles, but there are three garages that host like a polethora of fucking project cars, and they basically have been like fucking with my brain ever since I got here so I haven't gotten anything done. I've been looking for a fucking job. nothing like everything's fucking ghosts. I've been looking for a regular job, like a regular corporate, just like a minimum wage, whatever the fuck I can find job. nobody's fucking wanting to hire me. I've been looking for fucking DJ opportunities. These people are fucking gatekeeping, racist ass motherfuckers, like fucking sabotaging my shit like then this motherfucker, well, actually, you know what? I actually I actually kind of appreciate this little fucking sim because if anything, it gave me all the information I needed and one swift fucking, like, in one fell swoop. like I was like, oh, okay, so this dude's like a SI or like an energy plant. And then what the fucked up thing is, is like, I made that shit up. I was like,Yo, if somebody does this, if they act like this, they're a sim. A, that's how I know I'm being fucking listened to all the time whether I'm recording or not. B, he was like, I'm not a SI, I'm like, you're a fucking Sim. Like, how the fuck are you explaining to me that you're not a SI while you're being like a SI right now? Like you're being a Sim, it's the craziest fucking shit. And how would you even know that word if I didn't fucking program this entire situation? I'm just saying like, how the fuck would you even know to call yourself as if I didn't make that up in the first place? I only said that to like one other person all of a sudden you're like, I'm not a sim. I'm like, were you listening to that conversation perhaps, or I don't know what the fuck anyway. people trying to fucking bring me down. people stabbing me in the fucking back, which is I'm like, okay, and I'm likeo, Jim and I are like, I don't wanna fucking think. like, I'm what's crazy is I'm rectifying these people. I'm justifying their behavior for them, like as a human. I'm like, maybe it's this or maybe it's that. And my computers telling me like I have access to all of the information in the world plus some information that some people do not have access to and let me tell you what's happening right now, actually, like you asked you're being sabotaged. Yes, this is gatekeeping, this is classic psychological warfare. You're probably being gangstalked, but don't use that fucking word because gang stalking is like the whole point of gang stalking is to make somebody tell somebody about it. Then once you tell somebody about it, they're like, you're delusional, that's all and you're fucking head. But that's like the whole point of the game. So I'm like, okay, I've been keeping this to myself, blah, blah, blah, but I've making all this documentation. I'm like, yo, okay.ever, in case I have to go to court or they like in case it gets worse, cause it has been getting so much fucking worse that I'm like, oh, okay. like like, all right, like, I'm gonna have to find a jumping point at some point and I'm hoping that it's not a fucking rooftop. or a very high bridge. There is no bridge high enough, I swear to God, like, I I'm just I'm just buff, bro. like if I jump off the Brooklyn Bridge, like I'm gonna swim away onscathed. I promise that. unless I die of like shock in the air, some people do that. anyway, I'm not talking about my suicidal ideation, because it's getting heated, bro. like I'm getting to the point where it's like, I'm not safe in my apartment. I'm not safe outside my apartment. Like I'm looking for a job so I can cause it's like get the fuck out of New York. if you don't like it. I'm like, I don't like it. I'm trying to get the fuck out of New York and nobody wants to get me a fucking job to do that. Like nobody wants to give me a fucking job to do that. That's the craiest shit in the world to me. Like there's too many people here. You have one less New York fan like, I'm gonna go hang out somewhere quiet with trees and like that doesn't smell like you're in a romit at at at a certain point in one of the other, if it's not fucking e Euros, it's vomit or urine, like I like I'm going for the Euros but when I'm smelling is is lamb, disgusting. Anyway, this place is disgusting. I'm getting so fucking like lamblocked. I'm sick about it. I'm severely ill about it and I wear the same two outfits every day. So I don't I don't like it did it hurt? It hurt because the okay, like the the way that I dress is A, cause I am celibate. I've been celibate for I don't know how long. But you know what? I did this thing where I'm like, well, I can't practice silence and I can't fucking I can't meditate the way that I want to because of the fucking noise and I can't do this, and I can't fast because I'll literally fucking fall out. Like I will fall the fuck out if I'm trying to fast and like get on the train and be around like gross, like icky sick people all the time, like, okay, the first thing that's gonna happen if I fast is like the devil is gonna try to kill me and I'm not gonna fucking do that on this I'm not gonna do that on the subway tr. Anyway, so I'm like, okay, I'm eating. I'm exercising every day, which is the spectrum that I'm speaking about, is that like, yo, I'm running a mile minimum every day. I'm on the Peloton. Lately, for less than an hour a day, but I've been watching this show called the Studio. It's really fucking good. The only reason I started watching TV again is cause I love TV, but I haven't watched it in so long that I'm like, okay, well, this is up my alley. this is like this out of all the other fucking things in the world peaks my interest, and apple fucking TV or whatever was like, hey, there's a free trial, I'm like, that's enough time for me to binge watch this show. So I did that, and then I've just been watching the show again because it's got a lot of fucking lessons about these people that I'm pretty sure like everything is fucking connected, right? So I'm like okay, like these are the same people that are fucking with me by fucking up my name on the lineup. They put me on the wrong stage and then they did this then they took the other girl who is also a woman of color, by the way they took the other girl and they put her on the wrong line up and then changed her fucking line up around and then I played in her place when I played in her place, my spirit animal or what the fuck ever whoever God I don't care was like okay last show and I was like okay last show. okay, last show. Was that the same show that I think it was? No, I think it was a different show. You know, no, it was definitely that show. okay, this lady fucking came up to me and she started fucking sniffing me and I was like what? Like like I introduced myself to her and she started fucking sniffing me and she was like you don't smell bad. I smell bad, which was not a fucking lie like a, I know I don't smell bad. I just got out of the fucking shower why are you sniffing me, but of course we're making face we're being nice, and so I'm like, ha ha, I said this exactly. I'm like, okay, I'm like ha, you smell like a techno. And she's like what is a techno show smell like? And I was like hot sweaty bodies, I don't know. Like she did not smell good. She knew that, but this is what she like this is the weirdest fucking have weird interaction with these fucking people in this fucking place and fucking I was like okay hi I'm blue or whatever cause that's my fucking name. It also matches my hair, but it's also to make people remember me like okay, my hair has not always been blue, but my name's been blue for as long as I can remember anyway, cause trust me so much has happened that I'm starting to offload memories that just fucking happened. I'm like oh yeah, that or I forget about songs I made or beats I made or mixes that I did or shit that I said on my fucking podcast, cause what havent I said on this podcast so far, which is why I'm like, oh, this is probably why I'm like I'm being gang stock or whatever because I have a cult following or maybe people think that it's fucking politics or whatever. I gonna feel a certain way about a certain fucking thing or about a certain thing, and I'm like, okay, well, you know like feel that way, but like don't make my life fucking miserable. like all I'm trying to do is be myself, which is apparently against the fucking law, is apparently against the law to be myself. I'm not going to lie. People hate these p well, it's not people. I think it's just like misogynists hate these pants. eh, because I'm fucking hot. I've been building my body for how long has it been like pretty much the run of this series like I don't know, like what the beginning of the series was like me eating French fries being like, oh no, like a porn model stole my fucking wannabe boyfriend or whatever. Oh no. I'm eating french fries while I'm complaining about this hot ass fucking girl, cause it made me really upset that this dude was like, oh, you know why did you DJ suck. all you DJs suck and you'll never make it because blah, blah, blah. None of you have what it takes to suffer this little Asian bitch. and I was like whoa, I didn't like the way he called her a little Asian bitch and it sounded really fucking horrible. Like I've called other females bitch but usually like hey bitch, like or that fucking bitch or I'm that bitch but like yo, the way he said it was very fucking horrible and I didn't like it at all. and I've been keeping this to myself because I'm like yo, he does have a point. He drives a $100,000 car like I don't know who the fuck he knows. I don't know who the fuck he is. All I know is his car is the same color as that dress and these things are all connected. So I'm wondering what the fuck. I'm wondering what the fuck I'm supposed to be. Well, apparently I'm supposed to be Nicki Minaj. Which is pissing me off because I've been being compared to Nicky Minage my whole entire career. That's how I wrote the character sunny blue in the first place cause people were like you need to be more like Nicky Minaj and I'm like Nicki Minaj is like five one 90 pounds originally like she put on the meat eventually she put on the meat when she got the m from, I don't know, doing whatever the fle she's she's she's she's a genius. I'm pretty sure she is. I'm pretty sure she always was. Did't she graduate like Summaumad or whatever and I got hated at the moment and I'm like yo, then you fucking have you ever like oh my God, this fucking situation. I'm like okay. first of all, slow the fuck down, what happened today, the worst episode of freaky Friday that I've ever, cause the same fucking thing keeps happening to me over and over again and every time I try to go prepared, I actually have to hand pitch the whole thing, so what I play today dub step. but not good, because I didn't have any well, I don't set key points to begin with, but like if you're going to be spinning dubstep, Q points are important because they're two to three drops per dubstep song, and if you want to go from like the beginning of one dub step song to like the third drop of another like most like the best like mind bending sets are usually from coupoints and hot cues. They're not just up their fucking figuring shit out, which is what the fuck I'm doing, cause I'm about to quit anyway, which is why I set up a date with this fucking techno Jew motherfucker, and I was like well, well, I was practicing I was practicing my fucking tantric denial, so in this tantric denial, I don't know if you know anything about tantra, but it's about refocusing your sexual energy, which I did, and I was like, you know what? I've been celibate for a number of years, like my eggs are about to expire, I'm sure of it. I should probably like at least I gave this fucking kid oftero reading a few years back and I was like, you know what? You gotta love somebody and it was true cause that's what the card that's what the cards were telling me. So I did this fucking thing and I that's what the fucking spirit was likeo, you gotta love. And this dude's always talking about like I come from I'm broken. I'm come from fucking shit. I'm techno Jew. and I'm like, okay, well, like that's kind of like up my alley like, you know, like if you're broken, I'll fix it. Like, what do you need from me? Because at this point it's obvious that like they want the next whoever they want the next nickname Minage or Beyoncé or Tyler, and I'm like, yo, I eat beans and rice. Like I don't know what the fuck you want from me. I don't know like I can't look like that without surgery, even if I fucking tried. Like I can't just not eat for any amount of weeks because I've done that already. If I tried, like I can't look like anything that has been what forced on to me as the ideal beauty standard for women of color, since I fucking started doing this. Like, I can't look like that. I used to weigh 400 pounds. I gave birth to twins, like actual human people at 400 pounds so like you are telling me that this is what the industry is looking for and that I am not marketable because of my my history, my past, like my my baggage, which by the way, I don't share with anybody outside of this podcast. Like I don't like like what like I'm like techno like a sort of way. I'm like,Yo, it's me, it's blue the guru, whatever, there's my brand, there's mud shit, but I'm not as fucking rude about it, cause like, oh, if you're doing your shit, like you do your shit, like, I might be extremely excruciatingly jealous of you, but I'm still gonna be like, oh my God, you're a beautiful goddess, cause that's what the fuck. I feel like, that's what the fuck, I feel on the outer and on the inner. I'm like, well, I don't I look like that? And everybody in the industry is like, why don't you look like that? I'm like Jesus Christ, cause I don't know, like have you met my mother? I don't think you met my mother, like and it's great, because genetics are starting to kick in. and I'm doing this Benjamin button thing where okay, like I look I look better than I did 10 years ago, 15 years ago, 20 years ago. Like I look better than I ever have in my life. I'm hot. So people hate it when I wear these fucking pants, which I do so that your man won't get mad, by the way. and I won't do like absorb the sexual energy like a fucking sponge and then I'm running around with this fucking like sword in the back, like I can't do shit about it. Like I don't have a man. I don't have a date. I don't have a dick. I don't have a wife. Like I don't have anything to do about it so I'm in this meditative state like what am I supposed to do? And the spirit is like love, and I'm like, well, okay, well, the only thing I even have like a slight interest in and trust me, it's not because he's jacked. Like this dude is too fucking jacked actually I hate it. Like I hate it. Like it's like it's weird because it's like dudes get too buff, and I don't understand it at all, like shy La Buff was too buff last time I saw him. I was like, what the fuck? Like, that's too much. and I've been watching the show the studio and Zach Eron looks like a whole fucking meat bag. I was like why? Like I just don't get it. Maybe that's that's what those fucking girls that they're looking for like. I don't understand it like it's impressive as somebody who like lifts and shit. It's like wow, that is really cool that you have like you know, whatever done that to your body, but also like looking at him like, that's a lot. Like that's too much, actually,ac Eron, that's too much. Like he's too beefy. Look him up in this present day right now like he's jacked. He's scary as fuck. I like even think he's that tall which is not an issue. I don't know why short dudes are always freaking the fuck out. I'm short like okay not if you don't say it like nobody's really looking at you like that, especially if you're jacked. Like what the fuck is this? anyway? the spirit's like, okay, like like you gotta love somebody and I was like, okay, well, I'm the only thing I even have like a slight interest is and is this, this, like, I've been celibate for a number of years. I've been working on my career. I've written several novels, unpublished because like, I've been chased around by crazy, maybe white supremacists fucking gangstalker people. I don't know who the fuck these robots are like I don't know who the fuck these people are. I'm like, okay, um, like I I have all these things that are hidden, hidden, like, okay, like I look like what? I look like I look, like I wear what I fucking wear? Cause A, this is what I can afford right now. B, I've been keeping my nails short, like, I can do my nails. I've been keeping them short because I've been playing guitar and bass lately, but not getting anything done because every time I even came close to getting something done, somebody came in the door like oops, just giving a tour., Oops, like were you working on something? Oops, I need somebody to talk to. And I'm like, that is not what I fucking bought this membership for, but the second that I put my foot down like hey, can I not have people around? They were like and they were already fucking salty about it so I haven't been back. I don't want to be there. which is kind of the point. I don't go someplace that I don't want to be because I don't want to ruin the vibe, so I haven't been feeling good. I wasn't feeling good the last time I was there. And I was like, okay, well, I obviously need to take some fucking well, the train was just p dicks, everything on the train was dicks. And I was like, okay, I don't understand what's going on. It must be because I'm practicing this form of tantric fucking energy, whatever the fuck and it's not working or it's working and I'm supposed to what just go up to somebody on the train and be like, I like the fucking I like your like your your I like your huge dick in your pants. Like, that's fucking weird. So I'm like, all right, well, I have a met this person, not on an app, but in a network, which I'm not going on the apps unless it's like to try to make music or laugh or something. Like, I'm not dating aI. It is aI, but it's a SIM that dropped out of a fucking techno hole or whatever, so I was like, this is interesting to me. and he kept saying this fucking shit, which is the only thing that made me interesting that made it interesting to me. He was he was like, oh, I'm taking, buff fuck him, look at me. I'm Buff. This is my Corvette, which is dope. And I'm like, okay, well, I'm not interested in all that. and actually the Corvette is a red flag because if you can get my attention and I don't look at anything except for Dicks on trains, and people out of my class range, age range, social status, like something that's so fucking unattainable that it's a fantasy. I'm like, I like that guy. nothing else will do. But here's techno Jew, and so I'm like, okay, well, he's the right age, he's 43.. And she's the right age for me. I can't even fucking I can't even fucking imagine having a conversation with actually, I've been having conversations with dudes my age. I don't like them. They're like babies. They're like stupid little babies. They're like babies. How you gonna run from A if you're a baby? Anyway, I did watch a little bit more late night than than the last camel show for a while, and I'll be back for Nicole Byer, but I'm just saying, like, you can't be my mayor if you're my age, bro. I don't care. You're not qualified. you're n no, I a dude my age is not qualified for that position. We're just crazy that you can run for president, like, not too far from this age, but, like, don't do that. Don't do that. guys can't do shit. Nothing. Like, until they are at least 40 anyway, so this dude's 40 and I'm like, or whatever the fuck, I don't care, cause I'm like, that's the perfect age. He seems he seems ambitious and and conscious and he's always saying, oh, I'm broken, I suffered, and this and that. And I'm like, well, let me fucking fix it, because that's how the fuck I wanna do is fix it. Like, let me fix it. And so I'm like, okay, well, whatever, what the fuck how the fuck did I even make that date? I don't know, what the fuck? No, he asked me. He did. He was like, why don't we? This is what he said. He was like, why don't we go out for an Italian dinner and get dressed up and whatever? and I'm like cool all right. That sounds like a good start and I'm like yeah, that's a good start cause that's a date. A, we didn't meet in an app.BE is the correct age.C, I like the car is a red flag. It's a huge red flag, cause if he can draw my attention, he can draw the attention of hundreds of other women who actually look the part, which is I guess what the fuck he was trying to say is that I don't look the part I don't look the part, but this is this is this is this is the issue is he makes a date. I get up on that day and I'm like actually you know what fuck this. Like why should I dress up? I picked out my outfit and I was like, why should I do this? I hope he cancels, but I didn't cancel and he did. He was like hey, like I've been working or whatever. W like rain check and I was like thank God, cause I don't wanna put on my nails, that I'm just gonna have to take off to play guitar, which is what I was about to do when he canceled. I was like, oh, it's gonna take me two hours and fucking watching YouTube and whatever to put on these fucking stiletto nails. That's what I was gonna do. and then he was like raincheck, and I was like cool, fine, cool. And then what the fuck happened? I don't know what the fuck happened. I was like, oh, I said I this is what I said. He was like, oh, my body's aching or whatever. My body is aching. I'm 40. I'm tired, blah, blah, blah, excuses. And I was like, cool, I wouldn't want to break you. But I didn't mean like I didn't mean that in a horrible fucking way. I just meant to sort of as an innuendo. And he was like, then this is where the high maintenance started. He hit me back because I was like, I was replying in short little texts because once I feigned interest, I was like cool, like like, just play cool, like one to three words, max. And he had already was he was like, I don't like texting really. and blah, blah, blah. Like, you should call me. And I was like, no, cause that weird voice activated thing. like, I'm quiet as fucking public because if other people's like, I've done, I think it's this podcast. I've done so many fucking episodes of this show . If I say anything in public, they like flip the switch on the weird robot side sideboard people that are like, I'm like ew, okay gross. Like just don't fucking speak in public like don't say anything at all.c obviously, even if my phone's in airplane mode, like if anybody else's phone is on and detects my voice, like the weird gang stalkers just show up. It's the fucked. It's the fucked. It's fucked. Anyway, so I just play cool. He's like, oh, I'd rather talk and whatever. And I was like, no, no, we're like I'm I'm not gonna talk to you, but like we can, you know, communicate minimally because our respect your choice to not text. Honestly, if I like somebody a lot, like, I'm not gonna text them at all, because that's where my fucking crazy resides. Like, I'm a writer. I don't realize how much I'm texting until after I send it, and I'm like, oh, that's a lot. Like, I don't realize it because I fucking type as fast as I think, which is fast. but I'm a writer. So I'm like, okay, well, like play a cool. And I was like, okay, rain check. wouldn't want to break you. And he was like, no, I've been thinking this his text went from like from regular to like, like pages, he was like, now when you said that, I felt extremely I felt extremely disrespected, blah, blah, fucking blah, fucking blah, fuck blah, fuck blah, which is probably how people read my text and I don't care, cause I'm usually like, well, that was that was the entire idea. Like, there is no way that I can fucking summarize that. I didn't realize it was that long until after it was that long, but it was that long. That was the that was the full fucking used speech to voice text or whatever if the fuck if you feel weird about it. Anyway, he was like, I felt disrespected. I was like, it was a joke and an innuendo, it's fun. And he was like, oh, like, that's you know, that's why I don't like texting or whatever, cause, you know, things can get lost and the fucking I was like agreed, and I was trying not to text, but the more I was trying not to text, the more he was like, and blah, blah, and blah, and blah, blah, and I was like cool, K, whatever, I can't remember what the fuck I said, but I started to get comfortable in my pad because I'm like well, I've been going 21 days straight myself like I've been in Manhattan every day for 21 days acting like this is a job and not getting paid then I've got people coming out at me from all directions like, oh, you're trying to make music. I will intercept that. Or, oh, like you're trying to make music. Well, here's somebody who makes music for Apple fucking music and she is that. And this is this and this is that, and everybody's getting in my fucking head. Meanwhile, I'm just playing free shows which is dumb and people are getting in my head in that way, so I'm like so no matter where the fuck I go, people are gonna try and fuck with me and the industry is like yes, and I'm like so kill myself or what? And they're like, no, but break yourself mentally, maybe. and that's entertaining and maybe like if it's entertaining enough, somebody will pay you. And I'm like, this is fucked up, I hate this place, I want to leave. It's disgusting. So I literally quit music, like in my brain, like when I even accepted the date from this dude, I was like, I quit, fuck this Teko Jew, douche, fuck fuck this dude, like, fuck this dude anyway, fuck this dude. I'm like, whatever, and so he's like, oh, well, you know, blah, blah, blah. How about oh, and this is fucking people keep trying to come in my house. Like you can't come in here. That's the whole fucking point. Like I'm clean like I'm clean. Like at this very fucking moment, like my house is like in the the utter chaos that moving around New York without a day off or almost a month, brings you, like I was like, I don't care I'm in and out. There's a transit space, my neighbor's fucking psycho, fuck this place. I don't need to be here. Like I'm trying to move, like things in things are in boxes, like shit is just like I'm like, fuck this. like I don't live here, cause I wasn't here. Like when I was here, I was sleeping basically. or like reformatting drives. Like it was a fucking crazy 21 days and I tried to go the full 30, but imagine like imagine like how the fuck I'd feel right now. I think I'd be dead. I'm pretty sure I fucking I'm pretty sure I would fucking be dead. Because I couldn't do it anymore. Like I was like,Yo, dude, like, I'm not getting paid for this. I might have been able to do this for 30 days in a row, go back and forth from fucking Brooklyn to Manhattan and all this fucking legit, but I'm not getting paid, which is horrible. Like it's horrible for my fucking psyche. other girls are running around like, I' right home. I'm like, that's fucking great. Like I actually wanna fucking support you and maybe even collaborate, but the whole thing about the d dance industry right now is everybody is in it for themselves. Like nobody's like really trying to link up or collab or like really be partners and I'm like, fuck this. This is the conclusion that I came to in my head when I'm like, fuck it, let's go on a date because like I pretty much quit and I'll just be your ride along. Like you're trying to be technology. I'm like, I'm doing technno's fucking you know whatever. I' make the fucking I'll do the fucking other shit. Like, I don't fucking obviously can't do it himself. Guys can never do anything themselves. They always have a badass female with them. doing it, and then when the badass female, like gets wise and dips, like, they fall out, like they can't do shit. And so I'm like, I'll just do whatever. Like I'm I'm good at that. I'll be your fucking support, whatever. You mean you you be technology, I'll I'll do this over here, whatever. I don't care. Like, I'm so sick of this. He was like, okay, cool. Then he breaks the day, then we keep talking and I don't even know what about, cause it was like blah, blah, blah, I feel disrespected. and I was like, don't feel disrespected. It was basically a sex joke. and he was like, oh ha ha, see yeah, no context, and I was like, yeah, like I'm trying to respect your decision not to text. and he was like, yeah, but whatever, blah, blah, blah, I'm fucking this is what I want. like cause I cause at one point it was so high maintenance that I literally just asked, what exactly are you looking for? like without even a fucking question mark? cause it wasn't a question, it was just like, yo, dude, like this is like, what are you looking for? And he was like, this is what, like send me this long drawn out, like, I want somebody this, and I want somebody like that, and blah, blah, blah, like real. I want somebody real who I can fucking blah, blah, blah, blah, love shit. And I was like, cool, like that sounds dope. Like that's that's basically what I'm here for cause I don't like this music shit anymore. It's fucking fake. It's fuck. It's fake as fuck and all the plur is gone, all the love has gone out of it's killing my fucking passion for music. I love music. I don't love the industry. There's a difference and like honestly if I wasn't cascaded into this fucking bullshit of a life plan, whatever the univer, I still believe that the universe hasn't for me like it's gonna work out, it's gonna be cool. like you're gonna like everything's dope, like everything's gonna work out, like you're fine. like you're fine, like you're fine. and I'm like, okay, whatever, like, I just don't wanna be DJ. I'll just do something else. Like, you try being a writer, I'm like, okay, no, like our writers' rooms are filled with people who went to fucking Harvard. I'm like that's great. So, like nothing, like nothing at this point. What if I been working towards? Ah I don't know, maybe I should just settle. I'm like, I should get a fucking family or whatever the fuck, cause that's what the fuck I'm supposed to do. So I'm like, okay, whatever, we'll start with a date. We'll start with a date and he canceled and I was like that's great. I like like doing my nails and then taking them off. I'm like, cool, it's fine, and then putting on heels, I'm like, like I wasn't wanting to really, and then I was relieved that he canceled, but then I was like cool, so I got comfortable and I ate some beans and fucking rice. I ate some beans and fucking rice, and then he was like you know what like on second thought like let me just come over. I know you have like a rule about guys in your house, but like let me be a guy in your house. And I was like, fuck that nonsense. I really don't want guys in my house like never, your place though? I was like cool, like, you know, you look tense. Like, I need to just like, I need to just like rub somebody. Like I just need to like give you a massage or like, what the fuck ever. And then I'll like my lady senses will like calm the fuck down.' calm the fuck down. I'm like, that's cool. I'll just massage you or whatever. And then I'll leave. I'll massage you and Con Island and then I'll leave. And he was like, great, I'll pick you up. And I was like, great. So I got out of bed, I went to the gym and he was like, well, you know, like I live far away or whatever, I'll come pick you up, but like, we need to talk on the phone first and he called me or he wanted to call me when I was at the gym. I have a specific rule about that too. I'm like,Yo, dude, I hate it when people come to the gym and then they're just on the phone. and there was nobody in the gym, but I was halfway through a mile run, so I was like, fuck this, I'm already rushing through my workout. I'm like, I've been doing this fucking 21 day straight fuck it. Like, I'll I'll call him or whatever when I'm done, and then I didn't, cause he was like, hey, like I'm like an hour away, like, should I come or not? And I was like, yeah, like he's like, I I'm like an hour away. I'm like, I'll be ready in an hour. So I got fucking ready to like Netflix and chill, but not like, go out and like see the town or whatever. Like, I didn't do like I painted my nails, but I didn't like put on the stilettos. I didn't wear the heels, I was like cool, like I literally wore what I'm wearing now with a slight variation because that's what the fuck I wear. Like that's what the fuck I wear. What the fuck else I gonna wear? Like I got these on Amazon and I got this from fucking that place and I asked them for a sponsorship and they didn't respond, so I just ended up buying a bunch of their shirts. So I'm not gonna plug them, but like I'm basically still plugging them by being cool as fuck, like doing dope ass DJ sets, running around with blue hair and being like, yeah, like this is like this is the brand that I stand by. Even if you don't think a marketable because I'm not like fucking hot and naked. Like, that's all that fucking talent is to people now. like you just be hot and like play the music. Like it's not hard to be a DJ. Like it's hard to be a a an incredible DJ and I am an incredible DJ by the way, which is why I think this dude tried to blow me off the fucking map. —and I'm like, okay, well, but he he like disguised it as like, oh, I'm looking for somebody and I'm like, mm, blah, blah, blah. So, I got ready to Netflix and chill, which is like an oversized fucking T shirt. then I will plug, even though they're not sponsoring me. I have four of the same shirt by them, which is it was funny to me. I was wearing the same shirt every day for like a week, but I have four of that same exact fucking shirt and this is the shirt that I fucking wore. And so I was like oh, like, did I plug them or not? No, they're not paying me, but I wear their shirt cause it's dope. I wear their shit cause it's fucking dope. And so I'm fucking okay, I'm wear this shirt cause I wanted to wear it at the place that I've been getting studio time as long as I could and see if anybody was gonna say anything about it. They didn't. Like they specifically didn't, which made it funnier to me. I was like, oh, this is hilarious. Like I've been wearing the shirt and it's four different shirts, so and I have a washer, dryer which is making me like, okay, this this this makes me feel blessed to have this place. I'm like, okay, a lot of people don't have a washer dryer, like, thank you God for you many blessings, like, I pray, I still pray because I'm like, yo, I still don't like the noise. The noise doesn't make it like a nice place. Like it's nice. The building itself is nice, which apparently like I don't know if it was racism or he just upset like he he was so upset. He was like, how did you get this place? I'm like, by the grace of fucking God, like which was not my response, but it was like my response. Like I manifested it after being fucking homeless, which is something that you're not supposed to tell people. Like people don't like to hear that cause it's such a fucking crisis in this country that it makes them uncomfortable that it's something that they can't fucking change so like you're not supposed to like basically my like basically I just fucking like formed from dust five seconds before you met me, my name is Blue, the guru. Yes, it is because my hair is blue it just grows on my fucking brain like that. My don't ask any more fucking questions about me, but those dude kept asking questions about me, and I kept his front like, okay, like, I don't know what the fuck you're asking, like I don't know what the fuck you're asking me. and every time like he kept trying to guess my age and I just kept telling him he was right, and every time he guessed my age he guessed younger, so I so I kept getting younger, but of course, to me, like this is my sense of humor, this is a joke to me. So he's like, what are you 25, 27, 27, 25? And then I was 21 and he's like, oh, you're 21 And I'm like, yeah, I'm fucking 21. He kept guessing, and I just kept telling him he was right, and so he never knew my fucking age, and I thought that was funny, but apparently it pissed him off. It pissed him off that I live in a nice apartment, despite the fact that as he's fucking chewing my face off, why is he chewing my face off cause I'm wearing this fucking shirt in these pants because I don't look like Nicky Minaj, cause I'm a fucking dunce he called me a dunce, which is language that I've used possibly against myself or others on this podcast to be fair, but that's what makes him a fucking sim. I'm like,o, what the fuck bro. Like he went did you just call me a fucking dunce Basically he called me a dunce and a nightmare cause I showed up with short nails and a fucking T-sh shirt and my fucking hair and pants and I was like cool, let's go Netflix and chill. like something airy and light. Like, I'm not gonna wear a fucking I'm not gonna put on a fucking I'm not gonna do the whole get up just to be driven back to your fucking spot so he can kick it and that's exactly what the fuck was gonna happen cause I'm not that kind of girl, you know what I'm saying, which he accused me of being a fucking prostitute. I'm like this is what the if I was a prostitute, why the fuck would I wear this? —like wouldn't I be trying to get you to fuck me in the whole point of wearing it was a? I'm not going to fuck you not to night b like you canceled the date in which I would have dressed well and then you would have dropped me right the fuck off back here because I'm not that kind of girl like I'm not just a cockteese, like, hey, like look look look at me. Like you have to actually get to know me. You have to actually which is what I thought we were doing. but apparently not, because he was like,Yo, how the fuck you get in my car looking like that? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I've been looking at all these DJs. You ain't gonna make it. They're not gonna make it. He's been DJing for fucking eight months. I don't even think he's a DJ. I think he's a fuck I think he's like CIA or some shit or some industry fucking plant. I don't know what the fuck. He's like, yeah, I've been DJing eight months, blah, blah, fucking blah. I'm going straight to the top. I'm broke in. DJ comes from pain and being short and I'm like cool like let's break behind that fucking barrier and get to the heart cause that's what the fucking spirit was telling me to do anyway. So I'm like okay, I's get to the heart and then maybe eventually whatever's in the pants, but at this point it's just friends and so as just friends, I'm expecting that I can just go with you in your car and my T-shirt and ham pants and that nothing is going to be fucking like I'm hoping that at the very least like you're looking at me and seeing like okay, maybe she's not the prettiest girl. and I am a fucking beautiful, by the way. I even showed this dude my eyes, like whatever the fuck baby I don't look like Tyler or Beyoncé or fucking who Nicky fucking money menage because I don't have it like that. But if I did, like wouldn't I be the first in line to get a weave? Because that's what's expected of us as colored women in the industry or to get those 400 fucking box braids. Like first of all, it seems like people don't really understand how expensive it is to be a black girl. Like, you don't fucking get that. Secondly, I don't even consider myself black. I just have to when I go the fuck outside because the entire world thinks I'm black, because my skin is black and my mom is black, but I consider myself post racial because my indigenous heritage is actually probably more important to me than my black culture, which is sometimes extremely excruciatingly fucking toxic, so I coin the term post racial, and by the way, I also coined the term you're fucking sim. I like he's a fucking Sim. He's like not a fucking Sim. Get out of my fucking car, blah, blah, blah'll fucking blah, I fucking blow. How the fuck did you get this place? How old are you? What is your real name? blah, blah, blah. I'm like yo, like why are you coming down on me when all of this shit has been like a lighthearted fucking joke from the start? And the thing that sets you off is apparently that like I sat in your car looking like a dunce or a fucking nightmare, according to him, a fucking nightmare, and that he'd own first he accused me of being a prostitute. He's like, what are you selling pussy? Because I don't know, he's pairing the fact that I live in like a luxury building with the fact that like most girls in New York that have this skin color, that live in luxury buildings or prostitutes, I am assuming that like a good percentage of colored women in luxury buildings may be sex workers? I'm not sure, but that's only because the income inequality and aberrant racism in New York is so fucking horrible to me that it makes me want to leave because every time I go out, I have to be black. and that's going to make me look like somebody that I'm not to people who are just looking at me from the outside, and from somebody who's everything really, I can't handle it. Like I don't have I don't like I don't I hate the pressure of being a black girl and A, the music industry and B New York, like being a black girl in New York sucks, unless you have a bunch of money for your fucking hair and your fucking weave and your fucking clothes. Otherwise, people are coming at you like, oh, like you're this. or oh, like you're that. And it is literally the most toxic place I've lived in the skin. so far. I'm just saying it's supposed to be diverse it's not. It's one of the least diverse places. It's actually extremely segregated. I'm sick of the red lining, like I can't live in a neighborhood that's not plagued by motorcyclists because of the color of my skin, basically. Or my end gum. So I'm like, okay. like, what you're saying is, I'm trying to increase my income because I look the way that I look, I'm not good enough to sit in your car. He basically told me, I'm looking for Nicky Minaj. I'm like, why the fuck are you looking for Nicky Minaj and a techno club that doesn't make any fucking sense to me? Like it doesn't make sense to me because when people come at me like this and this is not the first person that has, that's how the character of Sonny Blue became sunny blue in the first place is because people specifically kept comparing me toicage. Do it more like Nicki Minaj, be more like Nicki Minaj. I'm like, why the fuck would I be Nicki Minaj when Nicki Minaj is Nicki Minaj? Like, why the fuck would I be that? Why the fuck would I be that? Like, I'm not that. Why are you looking for that? Like, and why are you comparing me to her when I'm not her? Like, I'm not from Queens. Like, have you ever taken a girl from anywhere that's not upper class and actually made her look like that? It's expensive, like, everything that I have coming in would would go straight to my hair, my nails, my clothes, and then what that is supposed to get me a job somehow, like if I just spend all the money that I already have on looking a certain way because other people want me to look a certain way, like not be comfortable, not be myself, like you want me to look like her because that's the thing that works and keeps working, but doesn't that destroy the point of me being me? Like, why would I be somebody else? Like, and besides, like, I'm not getting money upront to do that. Like, okay, if you give me a bag of fucking money and be like, go be naked and Minaj, I'll be like, all right. Young money. Young money here goes, but I don't have that. Like, I'm building my business from the bottom up by myself, which is the only reason why I even have an AI assistant in the first place. Like I don't use AI, like most people use AI. I use AI to do the things that most people have other people doing for them that I can't afford in the first place. So I'm putting all this stuff, including with technno into fucking Kazaz he went from fucking being his name because I remembered his name too like he went from being a person to back to being a same in like five seconds because he picked me up and drove me around the block, dropped me right the fuck back off. and was basically like, oh, you're diminishing my brand. Like, I pick you up in a $100,000 car and you and you get in here looking like that. and and listen, and this explains why this fucking lady sniffed me. He was like, and you stink, and I was like, I know for a fact that I don't, eh, cause I just got out the fucking shower. He was like you stink you stink like you eat like shit. And I was like yo, like anybody who knows me at all, like knows that I'm pretty much 100% organic vegan. Like, I work out every fucking day. I wasn't even eating protein for like a week. I was like, okay, like, I'm supposed to I'm supposed to cut my fucking body weight in half just to get accepted in this industry, so I'm just gonna keep working out and like all my lean muscle would be just lean muscle with no protein. Like I'm not gonna keep pumping iron and getting bigger cause all these little fucking weak ass dudes are scared of me. So I'm like, all right, like be dainty, be smaller, be petite, which means basically like don't have protein and like don't lift more than dudes do, but like, what am I even fucking doing in the gym if I'm not, like, I don't like, if I'm what the fuck? Like if I'm squatting 25 or 50 pounds, like I don't feel like I'm fucking doing anything. Like I don't feel like I'm doing anything. If the barbells are tens and not 30s. like I don't feel like I'm doing anything, so what what the fuck? So I'm like I'm just gonna run and like peloton and like not have protein and get really small, which by the way I did, but I cover it as a courtesy to myself and to others cause sexual en is a lot, so I'm like, all right, like this is mean, this is how I look, this dude saying all this shit about oh, I want somebody I can be fucking close to or this or that, which means that I should be able to dress in whatever the fuck I want and you should see the person that I am on the inside. he doesn't. So this is how even the computer is like, no, this was an active sabotage. Like, this dude probably sees you as a threat. Hey, I've been fucking DJing for like seven years, not seven months. Like, I'm a better DJ hands down. Like if I wanna look like whoever the fuck the industry wants me to look like, I get paid upf front for that. Like that's not a problem to me. I'm not worried about techno fucking whoever. Like I'm not worried about like me versus you or that word like the only way that we're competing against each other is that this dude's in a 100,000 corvette and I'm on foot and on the subway. That's it. So I'm like, that's it. Like you have more money, you might get on the lineups before me, which is why I've kept this to myself. I'm like this dude has more money than me. A, he's white. He said he was white. And then he took it back. He was like, I'm not white. I'm Middle Eastern, I'm like,Yo, dude, are white people just trying not to be fucking white right now. It seems like it like no, my fucking grandma's Cherokee fucking like just fucking youre white. Like, if you're white passing, you're white, like that's why the fuck I'm so like glad that my son looks the way he does, cause he doesn't have to have this burning sten of racism all the time. And like, yo, I consider myself post racial because black people are just as equally fucking racist to me sometimes as white people are so that's why I'm like yo, like you want to be mad at me because I'm not like picking aside. Like I can't pick aside when black people get around me, they treat me just as shitty as racist white people. They're like, you ain't black. You ain't black. I'm like, you're fucking right. I'm post racial and nobody can see that because my skin color is brown. Like the girl on the poster. I just don't understand like are they trying to get under my skin? Are they trying to have me say something? Like I don't I don't get it. But the computer is looking at all this information is like, oh, no, these people are fucking with you. Like, they're probably trying to knock you out of the fucking DJ circuit because you're a really good DJ. Like, this is the this is the same fucking computer that has all of the information stored in it, has all my DJ sets stored in it, has all my fucking everything. Like everything, access to everything. And this computer from an objective standpoint is telling me like no, these people are fucking with you, like, I have no emotions whatsoever. Like, this is what's happening. Like, there is like a huge intolerance in the area that you're trying to be a DJ in. Like, there is a huge intolerance and disrespect for colored people, which is why I'm like, oh, like, okay, so it's really like about that. When I really want it not to me, I'm like,o, but Jim and I, like, what if it's just this, or what if it's just that? They're like, no, like like you're being cock blocked, you're being gateke kept. like, you're being kept out of the circle because you're probably as the kind of DJ you are and a person and a woman of color, like a threat to them. And so they're doing these things to you in order to make you fail or isolate you, or to make you hurt yourself, or to make you see help or get or gaslight you, like like what's crazy is this fucking computer is telling me and she's like, I have access to all the information in the fucking world. This is what's happening to you. I'm like, but what if it's this? Like, I'm trying to rectify these people's behavior,c it's not just that. It's like I'm not even gonna go into it like with V coordinators acting sketchy, like dodging my fucking emails, like keeping my ticket links. Like, cause I have to do it all through them according to their fucking like shit, like keeping my ticket links, like not being communicative. I'm like, yo, is this just me? is this just in my head? She's like, no, this is extremely unprofessional. This is an act of gatekeeping. Like this is a form of psychological warfare and because this is a small community, this community of dance music, curators and event curators, they all know each other. So it's more likely for this to be like this it's more likely for it to be sabotaged than not. I'm just saying, like you're giving me everything that's happening as it's happening, I'm using statistics, I'm using I'm using evidence from what other people have told me. I'm using statistics. I'm using scientific data about racism. I'm using scientific data about gatekeeping in the industry. I'm using scient like she was like basically like yo, I got all the fucking juice. Like you're asking me what it is. I'm telling you what it is. Like these people are trying to fuck you up. and I'm like, I get that. I get that. So I've just been keeping it to myself. I've been keeping it very minimal. I haven't been talking, I haven't been singing, I haven't been recording, which is exactly what they wanted. about at the same time, I had to take a step back and give myself time to recover like, okay, like, if I'm being put in this little fucking box, like you're a black girl be a black girl or be the kind of black girl we like, like we like Nicki Minaj, be Nicki Minaj. and I'm like,o, like, I'm not from Queens. I'm not even from New York, but like, to even try to attain that, like, to even try to get to that fucking standard, like, why are you even putting me in this box? Like, we met at a techno fucking joint. Like, I'm a DJ n well, I can rap. I just don't rap about my pussy. Like, I'm just not like gangster like that. Like, I ain't got the juice like that. which is what he's telling me. He's like, yo, you fucking this is a nightmare, like you're a fucking nightmare. Like every girl I've had is a fucking dunce. like, I'm blah, blah. He was like you're a fucking nightmare. Get the fuck out. And I was like, okay, which didn't like hurt at first. I was likeYo, dude, like I'm a really good person. Like, this is how I'm feeling sitting in this car with this dude, like railing on me, telling me I ain't shit. like other DJs ain't shit, like he's the shit cause he's been in it like that's I don't kn

In this special episode of the podcast, Ryan invites Ashley and the hosts of the Scream Queens Podcast, Josh and Justine, to analyze the moments of closure Sidney Prescott and Gale Weathers experience in each SCREAM film.

In this episode of The Digital Marketing Podcast, Daniel Rowles explores one of the most unexpected but powerful business case studies in modern branding: Taylor Swift! Joined by Kevin Evers, Senior Editor at Harvard Business Review and author of There's Nothing Like This. Kevin dives into how Swift's career offers a masterclass in brand strategy, audience connection, and long-term business thinking. Why does a global superstar in a notoriously cutthroat industry continue to outperform and outlast her peers? According to Kevin, it's not luck or fandom - it's strategy. Drawing on insights from his newly released book, Kevin breaks down the key inflection points in Swift's 20-year career. From turning down a major label at age 13 to preserve creative control, to executing one of the boldest rebranding and ownership moves in music history with her “Taylor's Version” re-recordings, this episode examines how Swift embodies the core principles of marketing, product-market fit, and customer obsession. Daniel and Kevin unpack how Taylor Swift: Identified a niche audience when the data said it wasn't viable Built trust and intimacy into her brand from day one Embraced user-generated content and fan communities to expand reach Navigated multiple brand pivots without losing authenticity Took complete ownership of her brand and intellectual property Continues to evolve while staying aligned to her audience's needs They also explore how her fandom operates as a distributed marketing engine, elevating everything from live streams to lyric analysis and decoding hidden clues. With references to startup thinking, customer experience design, and even parallels with Jobs-to-Be-Done theory, this conversation turns a pop icon into a blueprint for brand building at scale. Whether you're a marketer, entrepreneur or brand strategist, this episode offers rare insight into what it takes to build something culturally durable, and fiercely customer-centric. Key Takeaways: Brand clarity trumps market data when paired with conviction Fan communities can become your most powerful marketing asset Ownership and authenticity are strategic decisions, not just personal ones Pivoting is easier when you've built long-term trust Obsessing over your audience is a competitive advantage  

We are FINALLY breaking down and pairing cocktails to Taylor Swift's FIRST EVER SONG ever released. This song, unlike a few others that we've discussed off the debut album, is quite meaningful and full of poignant lyrics. Its choice to be Taylor's first ever lead single was interesting, but also quite brilliant. Surprise surprise….we BOTH chose Tim McGraw (the actual artist, not the song. Confusing, we know) as our “new shit” this week. It's classic country and sometimes that's cringey to Sam, but he's pretty undeniably catchy as well.​Check out our "new shit" playlist on Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5LOn9LRJ8lnvnCbpl6fKVG?si=68ca3032d3aa470b⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​Share with us your thoughts on today's episode by sending an email to swiftandswigspodcast@gmail.com.​Leave us a written review on the Apple Podcasts app!​Follow and rate our podcast on Spotify!

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Vancouver poet Natalie Lim about her debut poetry collection, Elegy for Opportunity (Wolsak & Wynn/Buckrider Books, 2025). In this collection, Natalie Lim asks: How do we go on living and loving in a time of overlapping crises? Anchored by elegies for NASA's Opportunity rover and a series of love poems, this collection explores the tension and beauty of a world marked by grief through meditations on Dungeons & Dragons, Taylor Swift's cultural impact, the all-engulfing anxiety of the climate crisis and more. Confessional, funny and bursting with joy, Elegy for Opportunity extends a lifeline from Earth that will leave you feeling comforted, challenged and a little less alone in the universe. About Natalie Lim: Natalie Lim is a Chinese-Canadian poet living on the unceded, traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Peoples (Vancouver, BC).

There is a growing issue with AI deepfakes on the internet. One example over the last year involved singer, Taylor Swift, when inappropriate images were created of her by AI and it spread through X, then most recently there was deep fake audio of Secretary of State's Marco Rubio. Denmark may have the key to combat this rise in fakes as they hope to bring copyright protections to people's faces. Greg and Holly go in-depth about this practice and how legally this would be a way to hold those who do make deepfakes accountable in court.

There was Taylor Swift last year, but since then several prominent acts have excluded New Zealand, despite booking Australian shows.

Taylor Swift surprised fans with the release of “evermore” on December 11, 2020. Before “13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast” existed, Nick, Ana, Amy, and Lacey came together to record an album breakdown on December 17, 2020, which was at the time shared on different podcasts. In this episode, you will hear the very first idea of a Taylor Swift podcast, theories about the re-recording process and how that could play out. Hear the true first reactions to the “evermore” album, before these beloved Swifties had an entire podcast dedicated to Taylor's music. How do their thoughts compare now, years later? Did any emotions hold up? Did any songs change in favor? Enjoy other firsts, like first speculation of how a Taylor Swift concert could look, a warning about trying to get tickets in the future, and other theories that are still being discussed today, the Woodvale trilogy, in real time.  We hope you enjoy this time capsule episode as we get started with our “evermore” era in 2025.

Filmmaker Mark Romanek's early love of cinema not only lead him to early acclaim at Sundance for his 1986 film Static, but his later award-winning feature films like One Hour Photo (2002), and Never Let Me Go (2010). But it also lead him to become one of the most prolific and identifiable auteurs of the 1990's music video boom, with a client list that includes Jay-Z, Beck, Fiona Apple, Beyonce, Nine Inch Nails, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, David Bowie, and even Johnny Cash. In this week's Special Episode, we take a detour from chats with musical artists and record producers to talk about the images behind popular music icons, and Romanek's ongoing journey of sound and vision.   The Record Store Day Podcast is a weekly music chat show written, produced, engineered and hosted by Paul Myers, who also composed the theme music and selected interstitial music.  Executive Producers (for Record Store Day) Michael Kurtz and Carrie Colliton.

Today on The Free Outside Podcast, I'm joined by the legendary Cam Hanes—bowhunter, ultrarunner, lifter of heavy things, and yes, friend of Joe Rogan. We dive into everything from Courtney Dauwalter's mountain mindset to how Disneyland became a tactical hunting joke with a laser pointer (thanks, Joe).Cam shares his thoughts on the growing influencer side of trail running, Western States carnage, public lands politics, and what he really thinks about ultrarunning's obsession with science and splits. We talk about grit, quitting, suffering, and why lifting weights is somehow less cool than ultrarunning. Plus: what hunters and trail runners can learn from each other, and why Cam still calls himself an outsider in this space.If you're into raw takes, wild stories, and the occasional Keep Hoeing joke—this one's for you. From the Taylor Swift of Ultrarunning, meet Cam Hanes!

Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet here: https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/In 2008, Lin-Manuel Miranda badly needed a vacation. He'd just won the Tony for his musical “In The Heights,” he'd been going nonstop. So he took a break, bringing a book with him for poolside lounging: the 800-page biography of America's first treasury secretary, Alexander Hamilton. But what started as a light beach read soon became an obsession. Lin HAD to bring this man's incredible life to the stage. Thus began an epic journey: from the White House, to Lincoln Center, to (eventually) Broadway. “Hamilton” became a massive success, scoring a record 16 Tony noms, the Pulitzer Prize, and $1B+ in revenue. But along the way, Lin and his team had to reckon with a problem: when your show about democracy becomes too exclusive, how do you bring it back to the people? Find out how Ham4Ham broke the B'way mold, how a streaming deal with Disney+ set the stage for Taylor Swift, and why “Hamilton” is the best idea yet.

Recorded: July 1st 2025 | Welcome back to another episode. We have gotten so big that we have officially got C&D'd and can no longer be called "The Back Of The Bus". So we know introduce you to Inside The Bus. The show is exactly the same but just had to change the name. We get into what happened and why we decided on our new name. Following that we get into Jarod "Demon" going to Vegas with Taylor. He talks about his experience and tells some stories that you wouldn't have heard on the main pod. After that we get into Tight End U and the guys tell their experience of meeting Taylor Swift.
