01x04 - Country Confessions

Post by bunniefuu »

-Let's do this.
-It feels so good out here today.

This is the Nashville
that I was looking for.

-I know, right?
-Sunny and bright.

You the only one. I like layers.

Yee!

-That's cute.
-Yeah.

-This one?
-Cute restaurant.

I have been feeling
a little bit of tension from Whitney.

And it just makes you
a little bit on edge,

just because I'm always concerned about,
in a session or in an intimate situation,

"Is that going to affect our creativity?"

And I am an adult.

I should be able
to just confront what I feel

before we spend the day writing songs.

What's going on? Why are we…

I mean, I feel like we have

a really surface-type relationship.

I just feel, like, this like,
disconnect between our energies.

I thought after our session
in the Bahamas,

we both kind of understood that, like,
the session itself was kind of chaotic.

Jenna. Jenna, we only have five minutes,
for real.

-It will take five minutes for the verse.
-Yeah, I mean…

We gotta go.

I'm almost done.
We could just keep going. It's fine.

We don't got nothing on the second verse.
I can do something like…

No, no, no, you're good.

-Are you sure?
-Yep.

I felt like we were all in it together

and we were all very much like,
scrambling to get it done.

-So I was under the impression that…
-It was fine.

-That it was fine.
-Yeah.

And that we all understood
that it was nothing…

It was happening to us, kind of. You know?

Yeah. Being, like, serious about your art,
I… I love that sh*t.

But to be honest, you hear things and
you don't necessarily know they're true.

So yeah, I feel like, yeah, I did,
coming into this camp, maybe hear…

some things where
I was just a little bit, like,

"Does she like me?"
That was the whole vibe.

-Like you specifically?
-Yeah.

Oh.

-Wait, things that… you heard what?
-Well…

Well…

You can be real with me.

I mean, just like, "Oh, I don't know
if she really f*ck with you" or whatever.

You came into this camp
thinking that I didn't like you?

Yeah.

f*ck.

-Yeah.
-Is the person here?

-No!
-Okay.

Did they hear this from my mouth?
Or was this something that they assumed?

From… Well, they said they heard it
from your mouth, but I don't…

I'm completely blindsided.

It's ,% not true.

I don't want her believing this.

And if she feels a way around me,
like, that sucks.

So my main thought here is, like,
I just want her to feel better.

If you didn't hear it from me,
it didn't happen.

I don't think that's important.
What I'm saying is…

No, Jenna.
I promise you. I promise you. Like…

For somebody to assume I didn't like you,
I think says more about them than…

-It's true. You're right.
-…the reality of the situation.

You hear a lot of sh*t.

-But we're now in it together, right?
-Yeah.

So it's like you're not somebody
who I can just be like,

"Whatever. I never have to see you again."

-Yeah.
-So I feel like… I feel bad.

-This is so uncomfortable. I'm like…
-Jenna. Jenna. It's good discomfort.

Wow, Whitney is so honest.

And I appreciate honesty.

And I think that it's just so great
to be able to just clear the air,

because I don't want any bad energy
around this camp.

Knock-knock.

I came to crash the party.

We're just, uh…

We're just, you know…

You probably can relate to this
about the women in the business.

-Yeah.
-And the preconceived notions…

…that we have of each other
before we get in rooms with one another.

Yeah.

Somebody told her
I didn't like her, and so she…

-Yeah.
-…she came into the camp with that on her…

-Yeah.
-…and we're breaking that down.

I love that y'all are sitting
and having a conversation about it.

-It's very f*cking common.
-Yeah.

It happens a lot.

They like to pit women against women
in our business. We know that.

I'll say this.

Like, we just don't know
what people carry with them.

I'll be really honest with you guys.

I, you know, last night,
ended my relationship with my boyfriend.

Wait, what?

-Wait, what?
-Yeah.

-I'm sorry.
-No. It's all good.

-Whitney.
-No, no, no. It's not a bad thing.

We've been trying to navigate this
long-distance relationship

for, you know, a good while.

But it's tough, you know?

When you have two people
that are constantly on airplanes

or out of the country,

the little things
can become bigger things.

And despite how much we adore each other,

it's not working at this very moment.

And even though I think
we both know it's the smart thing to do,

it's… it's devastating.

We just don't know
what other people are dealing with.

-Yeah.
-You know?

So, like, giving each other a safe space,
I think is really important.

That's everything. That's everything.

Yeah. We can keep it between us.

-I don't want this to be a thing.
-No.

-It's so fresh.
-It doesn't leave the table.

-I love you guys.
-It's our thing.

-So, we gotta get back to work. Ready?
-Okay.

Today's going to be tough.

This is one of those days where,
like, I have to compartmentalize

and find some boxes for things.

Yeah, I'm going to work today.

A new day has come

A new day has come

Aw, here we go again

I'm coming through like a hurricane

Oh boy, I'm tired.

Hello, everybody.

Y'all ready to meet Shaboozey?

-Mr. Boozey.
-Yeah!

I'm excited.

Hello!

There we go, yeah!

What's up?

What's going on?
How's everything over there?

Y'all are dressed the part.

-Yeah!
-Let's go!

-How you doin'?
-I'm chilling, man.

Just out here, the grind.

Twelve weeks, number one!

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

But man,
I appreciate y'all getting together

and helping, you know,
come up with some sounds.

You know, we're doing the tours
and doing all this press stuff,

but, man, I wish I could be over there
jamming out.

You know,
I remember when we made "Tipsy," man.

We were just up on our feet being like,
"Yo, we got one. We got one."

Singing this chorus
to the top of our lungs.

Man, I hope you guys
are having that feeling as well

as y'all are making these songs.

You know, what drew me to country music
was the storytelling, you know?

But then you also got your anthems.

Kind of four to the floor,
high-pitched kind of, like, folk.

It's also got that kind of pump to it.

I think those are the two things I want to
dance between on this next project is

having those, like, songs where the crowd
can feel it. Everyone can participate.

Like everybody stomp your feet.
Everybody clap your hands, you know?

-Hell yeah!
-Thank y'all so much, man.

I appreciate you.
Thank you for taking the time.

-Lotta love, man.
-All right. Bye!

Whenever you get to FaceTime
with the artist, it's the best.

Because you want to hear it
from the horse's mouth.

You want to know
what they want to write about.

I loved him saying
that he wants real stories

because country songwriters
are notoriously the best storytellers.

But we're gonna add in different flavors
that make it truly Shaboozey.

-All right, let's get cracking!
-Let's go.

-Let's go.
-Jenna, is you ready?

-I'm ready.
-Here we go.

Let's go.

Yeah! I was hoping it would be you.

Good to see you, buddy.

We're back.

Today, I'm writing
with Harv, Jenna, and Trey.

Getting paired with Harv two days in a row
can be a blessing or a curse.

You could have just used up
all your vibe you had in the tank.

Or, you know, it can end up being like

you can build upon something
you had from the previous day.

So I'm curious to see how it goes
two days in a row with Harv.

-I love this room.
-Were you in this room?

You were in this room on day one.
You were like, "Are you in this room?"

Are you even here?

Today, I'm writing with
JHart and Nova Wav.

And I'm really excited because

it's gonna be
a little bit of a different experience

than I had yesterday
with Stephen and Jenna.

I feel a little bit more comfortable
because JHart is my gal,

and I know any time
I'm in a room with him,

it's gonna be amazing.

-Let's go!
-Oh my God.

-Hi.
-Hello.

-Hi, how are you?
-Cute.

Once again,
they've separated me and my girl.

And we're about to break up.

No, I'm just kidding. We're not.

But I'm in with an amazing crew,
so I'm low-key excited.

Don't tell her, but I am excited

because I'm writing
with Tommy, Sevyn, and Whitney.

I think it's that time.
Let's write a song.

I have that idea…

I can still go hang out
with my friends on Friday night.

I can still kiss my girl goodnight.

-All the best things in life are free.
-Right.

A little love on a Friday night

Sun going down
We gon' be all right

-You know?
-That's fire.

Sick. Well done.

I throw my problem's down the river

Thank God I'm a real good swimmer

"Even though I'm a sinner,
I'll make sure I make it home for dinner."

It's like, yo, I might be outside
partying with girls, having a good time,

but guess what?

-It was nice to hang, but…
-I gotta get home for dinner.

-…I gotta get home.
-I f*cking love that.

I think "Going Home for Dinner"
is a song about a guy who likes to go out,

but he also wants to be faithful
as much as he can.

We might have to restart your console.

I watched a bunch of interviews,
and he said he loves movies.

So I was thinking about,
like, movie-esque.

I thought about the title "Tarantino."
I thought it could be a cool title.

-Tarantino! Oh!
-Yeah.

-It could be like, a big---
-Yeah.

Like, life… "My life is a movie," or like…

A song that describes
where he is right now.

Everything that's happening.
He's a f*cking star right now.

Fast. Life is moving fast.

-It's moving so fast.
-Yeah.

I… I like it from a place of like…

Uh-oh, all I need is some more money

-Like, you know what I'm saying?
-Oh, I love that!

Well, that's opposite
of the idea of the song, though.

Oh.

I was looking at it
as more sort of million-dollar baby.

-Right.
-I like that.

'Cause it's like, everybody's not rich.
Everybody ain't ballin'. So it's like--

That's why I think this works.

Instead of like, "If I had more money,
I'd be happy," which I don't believe.

I just feel like
if the best things in life are free,

I feel like I've heard that narrative.

-But it's the aspiration of getting--
-I get it. I know. I'm just worried.

With two titans in the room,

on the left-hand side, we've got Harv.
On the right-hand side, we've got Ben.

And Jenna and I are in the middle,
just trying to keep the peace.

Welcome to Songwriting !

I'm thinking about country radio.

If a song comes on, like,
"I'll be rich and happy."

I'd be like, "Hmm?"

Here's the thing.

No one driving their farm truck
on a freaking back road in Mississippi

wants to hear a famous singer

who's already way richer
than their entire town put together

talking about not having enough money.
That's a bad idea.

I knew I was in trouble
When she's looking like the devil

With that red dress round her waist

-She's gonna blow my cover…
-Woo! I love that.

You gonna' blow my cover.

-You sexy m*therf*cker!
-You sexy m*therf*cker!

Why am I thinking like a douchebag
so easily right now?

That's the takeaway
from dating all those dudes.

I can learn how to think like them.

I can't relate, but I'm just saying.

Whatever story I'm writing,
I'm just fully leaning into that,

so maybe it's not, like, the worst
to be single for a minute.

What about, like, a Hollywood, like…

Ooh-ooh, Hollywood fair
All night long, think I don't


-Like, how far…
-I like Hollywood flash.

Whoa Nelly in a Hollywood flash

-Oh, that's cool. Yeah.
-Something like that.

I think Nova Wav are very chill,

so it's not really having to like,
navigate energies. You know?

It's just kind of instant.
It's… It's like, amazing.

-I got it. It's a love song.
-Okay.

He has the money, but he don't have her.

Yeah. What if we call it, like, uh,
"Ain't Got You." And it's like…

Everything means nothing
If I ain't got you

Can it be that simple?

I think if it's for the boy band, yes.
But if it's Shaboozey…

I feel like… Okay, that's… Yeah.

The concept that Ben has
when it comes to traditional country,

I don't think
that's what Shaboozey is looking for,

because Shaboozey is not
a traditional country artist.

So if we want to make a global hit,

we have to make it
conducive for everybody, not just country.

I just want to make it cool.

I don't know many men that are fully--
maybe except for Ben,

and like a couple…

That's fully locked in
to their situation, you mean.

As a woman, I feel like you have to accept

that, like, men are wired
to be primal and always like…

We're not wired to see
this many bad b*tches on Instagram.

-Think about years ago…
-I agree. I agree.

We're just saying that
you're wired to… to want to hunt.

How do you feel having this conversation

and you're in
the most public relationship?

Uh…

I think, for me, I love women.

-I feel like we all do.
-Yeah. So…

Explain what you're talking about.

What I'm saying is I just enjoy
being in the company of women.

-Period.
-Yeah.

So, sometimes it is hard to toe the line,
where I'm like,

"I shouldn't have said that."
Sometimes I just start talking.

I remember one time we were at a party
and I got in trouble with Jenna

'cause I remember holding this A&R's hand
when she was talking to me.

And I was just like in the conversation.

And she comes down to me and was like,
"I saw you holding whatshername's hand."

I'm like,
"I don't even recall holding her hand."

But there was footage.
I was caught on camera, K.

I think Stephen likes
to make people laugh,

but I just think it can be hurtful,
especially for Jenna.

My man cheats one time,
there will be repercussions.

Men don't cheat up. They cheat down.

-That's not true.
-I think it is true.

When you drive a sports car,

sometimes you want to hop in a Altima
and see what it used to feel like.

-Get an Altima.
-That's not true.

I want to throw a shoe at you.

I don't know
what Stephen be talking about,

but I know if I was in a relationship,
I wouldn't say that.

Sometimes you got to kind of
keep it to yourself.

Guys definitely cheat down.

I don't know. I'm not familiar.

Sorry, Stephen. We love you.

But I just think that
if people want to be single, be single.

And if you don't want to be single,
then don't be single.

You know, you and Jenna share
this big-a*s home together.

So if your thought process is,
"There's so many bad b*tches outside,"

maybe you're just not in the space
where you want to be inside.

See? This is why I'm single, okay?

I hear way too many
of these conversations.

We need a line for, like…

All I need is some more money

Shut the bar down
All the drinks on me

-I got this idea.
-Oh.

-I want to do a tempo in a strum.
-I've got a track.

I have a track that does that.

-Really? It's that tempo?
-Uh-huh. Mm-hmm.

-How do you guys feel about the song now?
-I wanna feel the dum-dum, pah.

Something in there that I don't feel that.

Oh my God, my brain is mush right now.

All I need
All I need is a little more

That's perfect. Keep playing.

Come on, Jenna, with the vocal production.

All right, where we at now?

Should we do like, a couple?

I really think we can knock out
maybe two of 'em.

All right, I got one more idea.
VVS cowboy.

-Yeah.
-Yeah. I love it.

VVS diamond is, like,
one of the most expensive diamonds.

Yeah, I like that.

I'm a VVS cowboy

We gotta merge those vocals.

We don't have much time,
so beef up the chorus.

I think that's it.
I mean, this kind of goes hard.

-It goes really hard.
-I love this.

Turn it up so we can feel good
about ourselves.

Harv, you crazy.

-I'll be fine.
-Woo!

Shawty I can't even love you

-Love you.
-Love you too, bro.

The stakes are really high tonight.

It's our last listening party
in the Nashville camp.

It's exciting.

Yeah, I'm so excited.

Your writing room isn't as good as mine,
but, you know…

-Wow.
-No, no, no.

Right, so who's going first?

-I mean, sh*t, you wanna go?
-Yeah. Whatever you want to do.

-Cool.
-I'll come here.

-Let's get to it.
-Yeah.

So you ever, like,
went out and had a night,

but knowingly have somebody at home?

I just want to make it home at night.

-Gotta make it home for dinner. Period.
-'Cause I'm trying to eat!

And dessert. Dinner and dessert.
You feel me?

-Okay, y'all ready?
-Yep.

All right, let's rock.

I knew I was in trouble
I was playing with the devil

Seen that red dress coming my way

She gonna blow my cover
Lil sexy mother f*ck

Trying to think of
Lil something to say

We can line 'em up and throw 'em back

And have a little rendezvous

But don't fall in love
With a guy like me

'
Cause you only got me till two

I can't lie
You're what I like

If I could, I'd take you home tonight

Hell yeah

Hennessy in my cup

Got me saying just a little too much

Might be out for the night
Get a lil wild

Do a little something to my liver

Before a girl like you
Turns a good boy back to a sinner

-Woo!
-
I'm going home for dinner

-Woo!
-Yeah!

Yo!

If I go home with you
Might have little baby

And I'll end up spending this check

I got a good heart waiting
I don't plan on breaking

So you know we can't have no shh…

I can't lie
You're what I like

If I could, I'd take you home tonight

Hell yeah

Hennessy in my cup

Got me saying just a little too much

Might be out for the night
Get a lil wild

Do a little something to my liver

Before a girl like you
Turn a good boy back to a sinner

I'm going home for dinner

Yay.

I'm going home for dinner

Oh yeah

I'm going home for dinner

Fire. Fire.

-Crazy.
-That was crazy.

I feel like Shaboozey outside.

I don't know if he's trying to make it
home for dinner, to be honest with you.

So I think it's a great song.

Not sure it will be great for Shaboozey,
but I think it's a great song.

Yeah, he's probably not
making it home for dinner.

It was cool being able
to be in a room with guys

and hearing them speak about
their space honestly.

-Yeah, definitely.
-Um, and I was thinking like,

"God, a lot of times,
this is why I'm single."

It ain't have nothing to do with me,
by the way.

-Uh…
-What--

We get to hear so much.
We were like, behind the veil.

And hearing that they're going out
to have a good night

and yada yada coming back home for dinner.

You know, I'm just keeping it a buck.
Like…

Dating today is very, very, very…
It's interesting.

Okay, Sevyn. I mean, here's the thing.
I know how Stephen can be.

He's always kidding around, but I'd have
liked to know what was said in that room.

-Thank you.
-Thanks for listening.

-Woo-hoo!
-Good work, buddy.

I love that.

Good job, y'all.

Yes, fire.

Do you like it?

What?

I love you.

All right. Is it our go?

-Hey.
-Let's rock.

This is a hard act to follow.

-I know.
-Yeah, wow.

We should've gone first.
Like, how do you follow that?

Listen. Today was a rough day.
You feel me?

Ben came in with a fire idea,
and I just couldn't catch it, right?

So I… I jump out the room.
Melodies and stuff start popping…

-…and I told you about the idea.
-Yeah.

And you were like,
"Yo, I have this track that may fit."

And this is probably
the first time in life…

I've never seen this happen before.

Never had this happen. His track was
in the same key of my melody idea.

-Wow.
-And same BPM.

-Same BPM and everything.
-Crazy.

Crazy.

What I'm trying to say, we're gonna start
a group. We're going on the road.

-Come on.
-You know?

-The biggest band.
-Literally, it's meant to be.

So this is what we came up with.

Monday, Tuesday Wednesday, every day

Feels like a Friday night with you

First one told my mom
That I wanna stay

Lord knows
That I run off a time or two

Feels like I won the lotto

Loving you, baby, pop that bottle

One look, I was done

You know you one of one

Got some money in my pocket
And the grass looks green

Got a house with a view
And you on me

Kiss like whiskey, let 'em pour, yeah

All I need
All I need is a little more

Body got curves like a back road

Wanna drive all night
Wherever that goes

Baby got it all, that's right
Good Lord, woo

All I need
All I need is a little more

You, you

All I need
All I need is a little more

Blue sky little more, long drive

Little more you, girl
Sitting on my right

Little more head down
Let the wind blow

Little less stressed-out
Baby, you know, you know

Feels like I won the lotto

Hey, that is fire, though. Ben be sliding.

One look I was done

You know you're the one of one

Got some money in my pocket
And the grass looks green

-Got a house with a view…
-That's nasty.

Kiss like whiskey, let 'em pour, yeah

All I need
All I need is a little more

You, you

-All I need…
-Let's go. Let's go.

-
You, you
-Yeah.

All I need
All I need is a little more

Let's f*cking go.

Hell yeah!

Dope.

That's my girl.

Playmaker.

Playmaker.

That's y'all third house today.

Yeah.

-Dope.
-Let's go.

Let's go.

It's super, super catchy.

-It's not my favorite song.
-Yeah.

I… I think it's one of those, like, "Hmm."

Yeah, after writing country music
for a week,

I think all of the songs
sounded the same to me,

to be honest with you, the whole week.

It was all… They just all sounded,
not like the same song,

but at, like, the level of, like,
it all just kind of sounded like… songs.

-All right.
-I'm scared of that room.

I'm real scared of that room.

Can we have a little commotion
for the shirt?

-Snap, snap, snap, snap, snap.
-You guys all look great.

I might steal that.

J, you came in with this amazing concept,

because you were talking about
how you studied him.

I love that.

Talking about his rise, where he is now,
and it feeling like a movie.

-Yeah.
-So here we go.

J whistles. Did you whistle?

Rolled in straight from the V

Nothin’ in my bag
But a prayer and a dream

Mama says steady on your feet

'Cause it’s a muddy road
For somebody like me

They said boozy was a doozy

Now the same ones
Try to choose me, yeah

Old blue jeans but a new me

Now my lifestyle like a movie

And it feel like Tarantino

-Woo!
-
Cowboy hat and a fat cigarillo

Black Pacino

Killin' them bills
I'm a hometown hero

Ooh, got the girls on tap

Life change in a Hollywood flash

Ooh, gotta stomp, gotta clap

Whoa, Nelly
When I stop and think back

Now I gotta lot, dot, dot, dot

When I hit the stage
Got ‘em throwin’ their bras

Started from the bottom
Then I floated to the top

Skrrt, out the mud
From the yard to the yacht

Look at me now, sunup to sundown

Baby, I’m a star
But I will never burn out

Look at me now, sunup to sundown

Baby, I’m a star
But I will never burn out

Feeling like Tarantino

Cowboy hat and a fat cigarillo

Black Pacino

Killin’ them bills
I’m a hometown hero

Ooh, got the girls on tap

Life change in a Hollywood flash

Ooh, gotta stomp, gotta clap

Whoa, Nelly
When I stop and think back

Yeah! Hell, yeah.

-I love your voice so much.
-Blu, you slid.

That might be one of my favorite songs
from the whole… the whole thing.

-It's fire.
-It's crazy.

-Blu, you're ridiculous.
-Thank you.

-It's crazy.
-Tarantino

Yo, that's so fire.

Feels a little magical, to be honest.

-It has something on it.
-You guys did an amazing job.

This song is so sick.
It just makes you want to move.

It makes you feel, like, crazy inside.

Any artist that cuts it,
it's going to be a huge hit,

but it feels like
it would be so special for Shaboozey.

And then we had a power minutes.

All right.

What?

-Let's go!
-Don't do us like that.

-We don't know what it sounds like…
-We don't know, guys.

…but we gon' play the power minutes.

Woo!

Woo, I'm a VVS cowboy In a two-seater

Poppin’ Ace of Spades
While I spill it by the liter

John Deere trucker hat
And a wifebeater

Baby, let the good times roll

I'm a VVS cowboy

That's crazy.

I'm a VVS cowboy

Woo!

Baby, let the good times roll

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Gotta do, gotta k*ll it…

Let's go!

Let's go!

-Yeah!
-Let's go!

Hmm, push-start…

-Hey!
-Never gon' pull out the yard

That's… That's a Goyard

I can do this all day

I could do it all day
n*gga, don't ever play…

Yeah! Yeah!

When they lookin' at me
Then what they gon' say?

VVS cowboy

Let's go!

-Let's f*cking go, Blu!
-Blu is the sh*t. Blu!

-Jeez!
-Y'all k*lled that.

Let's go!

Wild.

-Let's go!
-That's… Y'all gotta put that out.

-Go, Chi!
-Yeah.

-Good job, y'all.
-Sounds hard.

Blu acted so calm.
Like she didn't just tear this sh*t down.

That was the power minutes, yes.

I mean, to write "Tarantino"
and "VVS Cowboy" in the same day,

that's crazy, because they're so good.

I'm jealous.

What's it saying? BBS?

VVS.

VVS diamond is one of the fanciest,
most expensive diamonds.

That's fire because it's audacious.

It's… It's like, let him talk his sh*t.
Like, I like diamonds.

I'm the audacious cowboy.
I'm shining. I'm bright.

I'm having the best year
of my life right now.

And I think that title
and tying that in with him was genius.

VBS is what I thought she was saying,
which is Vacation Bible School,

but I'm guessing that's not it.

I was like, dang,
she going hard for Jesus.

Hey, y'all ready for Cabo?

Yeah.

To Nashville.

To Nashville!

-Woo!
-Nashville!

-Just some boys at the bar.
-Oh, I love a bar.

What y'all drinking?

-You know what I'm on. That whiskey.
-Whiskey.

Like, when you put so many amazingly
talented people all in the same place,

you're going to get, like, fire records.

Every listening party,
I don't think I've disliked one song.

The bad side of that, when you put so many
crazy talented people…

-…in the same place…
-Yeah.

…we're all kind of the alpha
in our own situation.

-So that kind of sometimes clashes.
-I agree with that.

I feel like in our respective genres
and, like you said, lanes,

we're kind of used to running the show.

Then you put us all in the room,
and it's a bit of trying to figure out,

"Am I gonna be quarterback?"

"Am I gonna be a running back
or a wide receiver?"

You gotta figure out what your position is
in every write, I feel like.

-Yeah.
-So what about…

Jenna and Stephen?

Mmm.

It's crazy how Stephen kind of goes
kind of hard on Jenna.

I'm talking about, he goes crazy.
Yo, yo, Stephen cooks.

He be putting Jenna down too much.

Yeah, he be putting her down.

We was having dinner, she was talking,
and he just cut her off.

So, it's just like, but…

-I think that--
-Okay, next song?

Oh my God, am I that boring?

I looked at him.
I was just like, "Nah, bro. Nah."

You can't do that.

-You can't, bro.
-Yeah.

I can identify with them, because
my wife is a musician, and like yours.

Yeah.

When you're dating somebody that's just
as talented and as resourceful as you,

it's that tug of w*r of, like,

who's the most dominant person
in the relationship.

I'm saying that because me and my wife,

there's times where she's driving
and times I'm in the passenger seat.

And I just think that's just something
that I feel like they need to learn.

Because, honestly, if I would've did that,

that'd have been
bury me in the grave in the back.

My wife would have been, like, "Yikes."

What happens in the dark?

What happens in the dark?

It's all a masquearade

We all play a pawn
On the stage in this game

What happens in the dark?

What happens in the dark?
