00:00We all think it's normal now, which is insane.
00:02Ending the song with the transcript from the, you know, Kanye Taylor thing, like,
00:07to me it was just, you know, a just neutral thing of just literally, here's the transcript,
00:14like, and the comedy is just in that.
00:16The comedy is literally just like, it's crazy that this thing happened.
00:20We all watched it.
00:35We all think it's normal now, which is insane, because it was so public and because it became
00:42so part of a part of pop culture, but it was also this universal thing that everyone saw.
00:46And in a way, it's like what we all share, like pop culture is like what ties our whole
00:53world together is like all of us kind of knowing these shared things and these shared references
00:58that happened.
00:59And so, yeah, I definitely, that idea of like folding pop culture in, sometimes like
01:06I have the idea to reference it first and then kind of build a song around it.
01:09But I think this was like, you know, initially kind of just a song about someone, you know,
01:16like an older man who is, you know, has like someone maybe like taking advantage of him
01:26or taking advantage of like, you know, his like almost like an older businessman or business
01:35tycoon who has a lot of money or something.
01:36And he's kind of this accidental like sugar daddy kind of thing.
01:39And like, he's trying to appeal to this person that is so different to him and that there's
01:48also comedy in that too of this idea of like trying to relate to someone for a reference
01:52that happened, you know, like in 2009, a little too late.
