Hello, Hello, Hello, Thank you so much for being here for the record with Angelina. Make sure you give us a follow on Instagram at underscore FTR pod rate us five stars. Please leave some reviews in the comments section Apple Podcasts apologies, you still got that SIMS looking graphic. I don't know why it has an updated there on iTunes. I'm gonna figure it out,

but appreciate you being here rocking with us in this week's episode. And for the culture, I'm talking about David Beckham calling out Victoria and putting her on the blast and let's talk TV. I watched the Big Short on Netflix for the very first time. In Bitch, I spill all the tea about what really happened in one of my recent big artist interviews. And in Today in the Bay, we are getting a w NBA team. Let's go so by all means, let's get to it. This is for the culture, for

the culture or the culture. This is where we pick a headline and ask if they, she or he did it for the culture. I think I gotta give it to David Beckham one time. There's a new docu series on Netflix. It's called Beckham. And now there's a clip from it going viral. Basically Posh Beckham. It's her real name, Pash. What's her real name, Victoria Beckham, not me saying Pasha Beckham. I'm done with myself.

Victoria Beckham aka Posh Spice. She's getting interviewed and I don't know what they ask her, but she's basically kicking it off, saying how her and her family were working class, like super super working class, and she's just doing this interview by herself. But right when she says that, David Beckham's

like whoop. He pops out from like the freaking closet or like the other room, and it's like, ah, I don't need you to be honest for a second, Like, bitch, I know you ain't talking working working class. I am being honest. I am being honored. Did your drive you to school? So my dad, my dad, it's not a simple answer because did you get it depends? No? No, no, no, no okay. In the eighties, my dad had a rolls roy and

then he just like dimps back into his room. He was so disturbed, like, bitch, I need you to be so for real right now. That was like literally stop blind to these people, was like a video I gotta respect David Becker for that. What is it with like rich people wanting to be from the working class so bad, or like wanting to prove that, you know, they're they have a rags to riches story. It's okay, it's okay, it's not you're fall if you were born rich or born

wealthy or born into like a family with money. But your dad had a Roy's royce in the eighties. In the eighties, that's different. Money, baby, you had money, stop it. I love that David Beckham had to keep it real with her real quick, though. I kind of want to watch this docu series though. I was like looking it up and apparently they like break their silence about a fair allegations and they talk about all of it. But I got a little more respect for David Beckham in that club.

He had to put her in her place real quick. So David Beckham doing it for the culture. Let's talk TV, you guys. Last night I watched The Big Short for the very first time. This is an old, old movie. I mean, not hello old. Let me see what you came out twenty fifteen. Came out in twenty fifteen. The cast is crazy. You got Steve Carell and it Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling, Brad Pitt. On top of that, there's like a bunch of like guest appearances,

like cameos like Margot Robbie, Anthony Bourdain, Selena Gomez. But basically it's about the economic crash and housing bubble during the two thousands. So Christian Bale, his character works for like this investment firm and he realizes that real estate is about to crash. And it's like him and a bunch of other very few but like two other groups of people that are also realizing this, and they're like working to bet against the housing market before it all crashes so

they could come up on all this. It's really good. It's super super good. My boss actually put me onto this movie a long time ago. My boss I have a like if you check my notes ap, it's a long list of movies I need to watch. He's always putting me onto fire movies. And last night I just was tired of watching the same shit over and over again, and I was like, you know what, and I saw I was on Netflix. I haven't logged on Netflix in a long time.

I've been like strictly HBO Girly and Amazon Prime. I finally locked into my Netflix and it was like recommended to me right at the top. I was like, oh shit, he told me about this movie, so let me watch it. But it was funny when we were talking about it. We were really talking about how movies that like break the Fourth Wall and like movies that we like that do that, and he was saying, how this movie does it well, and I was telling him, like, oh,

you should watch Winning Time on HBO because they do that a lot. And after I was watching The Big Short, I saw at the end that it was directed by Adam McKay who also directed Winning Time d Ning, So there's

that connection. But it's just so good, like it's it's gonna make you mad about how fucked up our government and the banks are and like you know that whole housing crash, like how many poor people and working class people were affected by it, but also it's it's it's crazy because it's it's based on a true story and like these banks and the government does not give a shit about us not to go not to go on like a whole woke grant, and it's crazy because you are rooting for at least I was like, I

was Christian Bales' character and no one believes him. You know that the real estate is about to crash. They're like, what are you talking about.

You're making these crazy bets against the housing market. You know you're gonna put our firm under Everyone's against him throughout the movie, and you're like stressing out for him and these other group of people that are like trying to prove that it's right or you know, I guess, kind of waiting for it to actually happen so they don't look like idiots, and you are almost rooting for

Christian Belle's character. But like at the end of the day, like the bigger picture, I guess is just like these are just a group of guys who like came up like other than any of these are rich assholes that also came up on millions and millions of people losing their homes and their jobs for

this terrible thing that happened. It's crazy, but watch it and it's really fun, I would say, because he also told me to watch Fuck, I've already forgot what it's called the margin, I think, and it's like a similar uh, like it's about the margin call similar theme like kind of about the same thing, the housing marketing it crashing, but it's a lot more serious. I will say this is it's a movie that makes you think, but it is very fun, like the Fourth Wall breaking. There's some

legit lol moments. I love Ryan Gossling's character, Steve Carell too, Brad Pitt. They all kill it. So if you haven't watched it The Big Short on Netflix, go stream that and let me know what you think. On our Instagram at Underscore, FTR pod or on my socials at Angeline on Air, or if we're living on listening on a help of podcasts, leave something in the little review section in the comments, join the conversation. I said, bitch, if you wanted to go to Taylor's, just tell a

brother you want to go to Taylor's. You said that? Oh hell yeah, man, I laid it out right, I says, I said, I says, I said, bitch, bitch, I needed to event. Okay, last week I talked about my boss dropping like really really really big news on me, and that is still happening. I'm shooting a video for this big announcement tomorrow. Mignana probably have a really busy day I'm also interviewing Olivia Rodrigo again on Zoom. Me and her just talks. I feel like

we're bestie. So we're gonna catch up about Guts. If you have any questions for her, you want about the album, hit me up on Instagram, at Angelina on air or at Underscore FTR pod. First of all, do you hear my stomach girling right now? I haven't ate all day. I did have a cup of coffee though it's like five pm. Oh my food did just get delivered downstairs. Gotta go pick that up. But anyways,

what were the saying starving right now? Tomorrow morning? Olivia Rodrigo in the morning on Zoom and then I'm gonna come into the station early so we could shoot this cute little promo video for this big announcement I have coming up. But this kind of ties into it. So you guys know, my show, The New hit List, my Little Baby, it's mine and my boss's baby. No one believes in us in this show and it's ours and it's doing well, and I'm trying to grow the following on Instagram, so

go follow the New Hitlist. Okay at New hit List on Instagram. But it's a show where we only play new music. And lately I've been getting really really amazing, like big artist interviews that I usually you know, they usually only go to like really big markets, not that San Francisco is not the San Francisos number four in the market, but like these type of artists are only going into New York in LA. But I've been getting at least

being able to hop on zoom with them. And recently I got probably the biggest one of my career Billie Eilish. First of all, me and Billie Eilish besties. Like her energy was so dope. She I feel like me and her It was just like a natural conversation like we were. She was just like dropping all the tea, like she didn't give me any short answers. Her mood wasn't I don't want to be here or this is my twentieth interview today, because it probably was. Honestly, if you look at like

all the interviews she did that week. She's in that backyard, that backyard, put in work, same outfit, so she was probably doing like a million interviews that day. I just really liked our conversation, and I'm so grateful that I get to interview these artists like there was a time in my career. And this is for everyone starting a radio you know, sometimes you gotta interview people you're not into, maybe that you haven't even heard of.

You don't have to get that practice in and it just it just comes with the job, right like when you're starting, obviously you're not gonna get to interview like super big artists right away. You gotta prove yourself. And I actually happened to really love Billie Eilish, like I thought she was gonna be a star the first from the first single I heard from her years ago,

and it just really went really really well. But let me just bed for two seconds, because it's not that I'm not grateful for this, it's just the politics of this job. Sometimes I gotta like check myself because it could really get to you. And I think a couple of weeks ago when this was happening, I definitely let myself go on this little spiral or this just overthinking and being dramatic, but also my feelings were valid. So okay,

let's back it up. Find out I'm gonna do the Billie Eilish interview. Her team asked me to send questions in advance, and I'm noticing, at least with this particular record label and with bigger artists, sometimes that's what you have to do. I had to do the same thing for Olivia Rodrigo, and I'm at first I was like super excited about Billi Eilish because it's a

big artist. But it was like happening at the end of the week and I was like scrambling, so I haven't really had my time to like do my research, but I know, you know, they send you like a bio and the stuff they want you to talk about, like the topic. So I kind of knew how it was going to go. But then one night I finished my shows, it was like two nights before the interview,

and I went down this rabbit hole, you guys. I was watching every Billie Eilish interview ever or her like cute little segment she does on Variety. I was like listening to her old music videos, reading the comments. Like I just went down this Billie Eilish rabbit hole, and I got so into my interview questions and I had some really good ones. Okay, I probably had about started with like fifteen to twenty questions right and all that I was

like really passionate about. There's one that like connected to the Bay Area. For example, she does this thing with variety, you know variety, like we'll have artists go on there and answer the same questions and you know, supposed to be like a yearly thing, so you see how much they've grown. I think that's a really cool segment that they do. But for I feel like three years straight. Billie Eilish said that one of her favorite movies

was Fruvel Station Now as a bay Arian pedestrian. Great movie, but it just hits a little too close to home. I think a lot of us agree that we saw it and we're never gonna watch it again, Like it was just too heartbreaking. But Michael, but Jordan and Ryan Coochler, they all killed it and like obviously ran coolish from the Bay But like you did an excellent job of like really making a Bay Area movie. We talked about

like how some people hate Coach Carter even though it's a great film. A lot of people from Richmond don't fuck with it because it didn't have a great representation of the Bay Area or Richmond at all. Like they threw brun a Raiders hat that was about as berry as it got, but the representation was not there. Proovevel Station had that like Bro was listening to mom figures and the jacka, you know what I mean, like the slang, all of

it. They got it down. So anyways, I was going to bring that up and then kind of ask her if she'd ever be down to work with Ryan Coogler. I thought that'd be a great clip for the Bay Area, be the Eilish movies, all of it, I will say, And their defensive team did tell me that I couldn't talk about Barbie. Nothing about Barbie, even though we could talk about her song What's it called? What

was I Made For? I could talk about it, but I can't mention Barbie because of the strikes, and you know, they want to make it very clear that they stand with the w w GA. Second, after all the writers and all that good stuff, so movies don't even exist, we cannot talk. The first it was we just can't talk about Barbie. So I thought that'd be okay. But I sent my questions and they cut out anything that had to do anything about a movie. So it was very much

like no movies don't exist. Writers, actors non existent. We can't talk about it at all. So they took out like four questions that had to do with that, because you know, I also want to ask her if if she'd be down to continue acting. There was a couple of movie questions in there, but some of the questions I got cut out I had nothing to do with movies, and I was like a little annoyed, but at

the same time still grateful for this interview. Whatever they got cut I still have a handful of like really great questions that I'm passionate about that I'm still excited to ask her, so I kind of let it. I was a little annoyed at first when they sent it back, but whatever. And then at the day before, the girl hits me up kind of saying like, if I could send the questions back, so like to I guess confirm that I saw what questions got taken out on and I was a little bladed by

that. Send them and then they go, Okay, they send me another email, this is the final final approved questions, and they cut out another half of those questions. You guys, I was wiling. I was so mad, I guess because I'm like, maybe I'll be in dramatic, but I was so annoyed by it at one point that I was like, what am I doing here? Like not that I was like about to quit my job, but I was just very like, man, if I want to be known as this person that has good interview, you know, I want

my shit to do good. I want to like hold this a certain repusa a little bit that I can't even talk reputation, Like how am I gonna do that when this shit is being controlled? And I, you know, I was like, why don't y'all just send me a list of questions you want me to ask this artist and we do it that way, Like if if we're just doing this for promo and it's this is a situation where I just need to be grateful that I'm talking to Billie Eilish in the first place,

you know, then do it that way. I was like obviously anod thinking in my head this way and and yeah, just like what am I doing here? Like is this how it's always going to be? And then I I was talking to my coworker from another station and like brought myself back down to life because at the end of the day, I am so grateful that I'm talking to her, and I kind of just need to get over it. And that morning we had the interview, and honestly, it went

so great. Like I said, me and her were just vibing. She dropped stuff that I didn't think she was gonna drop, like I have one question, and she ended up like revealing something that she was gonna drop in the future. Like while it's going on, I'm like, oh my god, this is gonna be so good on socials. Like in the back of my head. It was just a really good interview. So the the interviews and I'm like, you know what, Angelina, Oh, we're crying.

Like first of all, I only had ten minutes with her, so like realistically, all those questions I had, we wouldn't even been able to fit it in the interview because even with what they cut it down to, like her team was very much in our chat saying like, okay, wrap it up, you know, go a little. You still got cut these liners at the end you want us to cut, like you need to wrap this

up because she was giving me such amazing answers, you know it. Me and her were just vibing, so it definitely was like on pace to go above the ten minute mark. So it ended up working out. I'm like, you know what, I only had enough time for these questions. They were great questions. She gave me amazing answers. It's gonna be so good on socials. I like what I got from this interview, what I learned

from her personally, it was all good. You guys. Next week, I notice another station from I don't know where the fuck going viral because the same thing she decided in my interview. But she like you know, talked about being an album mode and they're going viral, and mind you, I haven't even got the interview back, and I'm like, these fools are already posting it. So I was like, let me message her team like, hey, so excited to post content from this interview. I just want to

follow up, see where we're at. She messed with me the next day. IM gonna send it later on today they send it, you guys. Half of the interview is cut out. I wanted to fall to my knies, no, all the parts, Like if you look on my Instagram,

there's a clip of her talking about music videos. You know, I want to talk talk to her about being how she's a director and directs music videos, and I asked her if there was any songs from Happier than Ever that she wishes she had done, and then she goes on to say, how, you know, originally she had this plan of making a music video for every single song on the project, but something had came up, and she kind of vented to me about the thing that came up, and then she

announced something. They took out the whole announcement. They took out her venting about what it was that I just they cut out so much and I was reading the YouTube comments and one person did say, like, you could tell this this edit it because they're like laughing about something, and then it cuts to this and I'm like, yes it was edited, And I'm the person like I hate this about myself, but I do care about what other people think, you know what I mean? Like they say not to do that,

I do a lot. And I could have a million amazing comments praising my interview, you know, really hyping up something. Billie Eilish said, it could be a million comments. It's gonna be that one bad comment that really irritates me because someone had put on there I hate when these like all these interview people ask the same questions. Oh you know what, No, we don't. A lot of y'all don't know that we have to ask.

There is topics that we need to hit, Like our team is like, please talk about A, B and C and then maybe you could freestall your own shit, like it is very much your interview, but we need you to talk about this in whatever way you see bringing that up. So that's one. This is just talking about that kind of common in general when people say that. Two. Obviously not with Billie Eilish, but sometimes you have artists that are like on the rise just because you know them and your stance

of them. Like a lot of people, this might be their first time being introduct introduced to this artist, So like, I am still gonna ask this person when they got started in music or you know, maybe they are famously known to work with a big producer. I'm gonna bring that up because just because you are down doesn't mean the world is like this is still very

much an artist that's on the come up. So you do need to still ask those generic questions that maybe you're tired of hearing, but the world doesn't know about this person so and there's only so much you can ask them because they only have like one ep out, you know what I mean. In general, I'm just spenting about that whole situation in general. Then in this one though, I'm like, oh and in my defense, like Billy Eilish literally in the interview, was like, thank you so much for asking me

this question, Like there's only so much I could do. But I was just irritated that it got cut out and I just was spiraling. But at the end of the day, like, I am so grateful that I got this interview. It did what it needed to do. You know, I got this new show. We're trying to get it on and pop in. They're giving me these big artists. I haven't talked to someone as big as

Billie Eilish yet. I am grateful. I don't want to come off like I'm not grateful, but it's just one of those like politics as usual, you know, it's just I guess stuff that comes with the industry. And it did have me thinking about the artist almost a little bit too, Like you know, here I am a creative or creator, and I'm just a little annoyed because something I put my time and work into is getting water done and set water down and like you know, semi controls. So yeah,

that annoys me. But like I'm like, imagine how some of these artists feel that are you know, like Billy islandish and like other artists that are like super talented that you know, want to put out these bodies of work or they have a creative like visual for themselves, or you know, a plan and their team is like that's whack. We actually are gonna have you do this, or we're gonna cut all this shit out. We're gonna cut half these songs out. This is actually cooler. We want you to sound

more like this. You know, it just gets it gets deeper and deeper. Like imagine how they feel. Some people actually need to listen to their team because they're actually garbage and their team, my know, was best for them. Like it's amazing that they even are on the way they're on. So I'm not saying that's for everyone, but I just want to vent about that. But I am grateful. If you haven't watched my Billy edgnfew,

go do that, hope. But I'll get in trouble for this. I'm like, I probably should not be speaking on this, but I'm on a vet man. I remember I was watching Angie Martinez on this like Radio slash

Women. I think it's like Women's History Month or something. She was on a panel and she was just talking about how like, you know, you just need to enjoy your career because and I guess this works for everyone, but like especially in this industry, Like you know, you get somewhere and you're like, I want this thing, and you know it looks nice and shiny over there, and then you get it and then it's like not what it was you thought it was gonna be, so now you want this other

thing. You know, like you're constantly wanting more and wanting to be in another place. And that's fine and dandy, but like you really need to like enjoy where you're at in the moment. And I think I got a little bit of that, Like I'm where this show is going. I'm so excited and like exactly like bitch. At the of the day, I'm talking to Billie Eilish like that's so dope. In my kitchen, like it's crazy. The zoom me to bees are so crazy to me because like I'm like

washing dishes or like maybe I'm in a bad mood. I'm like in bed, but like, oh, let me go talk to this Grammy Award winning artists real quick and I in my little kitchen and then like go back to normal life like that. I still kept up my head around that, like I'm still very much like so happy to be here and it still freaks me out that these things are happening. But yeah, I just I don't know.

I thought about her quote because it's always gonna be something, right, Are you always gonna be wanting more or wishing things for another way and they will be. So I think I just need to like chill out and take a step back and be grateful. And I am always am, but just a little I don't know, a little side story for you guys. Next time, I was like, I never want to hear an artist say I'm

tired of these people ask me the same questions. Bitch's your team. It's your team making me asking the same questions, because when I wanted to ask a different question, it got got out. Not talking about Billie in general, but just I mean, not talking about her specifically, just in general, just like y'all hear our side Okay, y'all the listeners, you get to watch these interviews. It's a little look inside our world on our end. Okay, but that's it. Thanks for listening to me. Then this

is Today in the Bay with your hosts and Jelina Bruh. I am so hyped the WNBA is coming to the Bay Area. Let's motherfucking go. I love this. I saw a couple weeks ago. You know, there are some rumors that Chase Center was kind of talking about it happening. And when I saw that, I mean I was hopeful, but I didn't think, Oh, they signed on the dotted line, because it is official the new team. They will be playing at Chase Center here in San Francisco and they're

also going to be practicing in Oakland. There is an official name for the team yet, but they are planning that whole rollout and hoping. I guess they're going to release it soon, but we can expect the team to start in the league by twenty twenty five. If you haven't followed them yet on Instagram at WNBA Golden State, they have a rollout video Like obviously the Warriors are like really supporting it. Steve Kerr, I just think this is so

dope. Like I've been talking about and being really passionate about women's sports in general on the come up, I think we are very much we're seeing something special, Like women's sports viewership is on the rise, and this is just huge. The fact that it's happening in the Bay Area and like Chase Center and the Warriors are the ones that made it happen makes me really proud to

be from the Bay Area. I can't wait to support this team. Shoot, I'm like, y'all need an in game host, anyone from the WNBA's listening WNBA Golden State, I'll let you, girl. I don't know that would be a lot to put on my plate because Sea Dove's season starting. You guys know, I'm an in game host for the G League Warriors, and that season is starting in November. I mean, they're not gonna be playing twenty twenty five, so I got time. I did already look into

it. I think I already signed up for the like how you could apply for jobs. They have like a certain website. So I'm gonna play with that a little more because I do got time. But G League I am main game host for the G League Warriors team out in Santa Cruz and season is starting November tenth, next sometime next month. I actually need to give my job my schedule for that too, so I'm putting a lot on my play. But anyways, I would love to be a part of the WNBA

team if possible, So we're gonna manifest that. That's the next thing we're manifesting. But right now, we are just proud for the expansion women's sports happening in the Bay Area. This is huge. I got more details about this at wal ninety nine dot com. Other things happened in the Bay Area. Gas being too motherfucking expensive. Oh my god. I was about to have a full on breakdown at the gas station the other day, Like I

probably shoud it into two thug tears. Oh my gosh. When I pulled up though the I saw like someone it like say, like three fifty, like three dollars. I'm like, oh, I don't miss those days. I was there at some point last week, just kidding the damn near Like, uh, my heart goes out to anyone that's in that situation where you only get three dollars four dollars to put in your gas take no dad, No, that was me two weeks ago. Not fun, but damn,
