That's cool. Oh, that's hilarious, actually.
Welcome to jobless behavior. My name is Marie Richmond.
And I'm King Axel. Oh, welcome to the podcast,
Axel. I see you show up and this is
jobless behaviour. Oh my God.
How you doing today, Axel? Oh, I'm.
Doing good. It's kind of shit outside, but
what can you do? You know where it's not shit?
Inside. Inside.
Those are the two options. Yeah, No, I was going to say
Edison Ray's discography. You were doing Edison today?
Yeah, well, when I was. Well, it's well done.
Is it Edison, Ray? Is it Edison?
I'm going to. Be honest, I'm just going to
keep pulling Edison Ray. I think yes, yes, But when I was
thinking of an if so we could do, I was thinking of all the
new music group that was releasing Marina was a
possibility, but. I think we could still do it,
but in like a a comedy horror kind of way.
I don't. Know if I want to, but yeah, no,
after listening to Edison's new album for a bit, I I've turned
it and I loved it. And so I thought full, full
Edison discography. I wouldn't say life, but yeah,
let's talk Edison. Yes.
Now I'd like to preface this by saying that I am an AR truther.
I enjoyed her EP so much. Like to the point where I could
not believe the people around me were not on on my boat.
I saw the vision for what she would become and she has become
it. I will say she's she's going off
in a different direction than I would love, but I think it's
just because I liked the EP so much.
I. Like now they were talking about
the AP. I'm just now thinking like
talking about the AP and direction.
I'm just now realizing it's called AR Edison, Ray, the debut
albums Edison. Yeah, I I'm sorry.
I guess it's just because I didn't really like the AP.
It's just nothing. I don't know.
Well, we'll talk about it quickly before we get into the
mate of Edison. Yeah, look, it's kind of
directionless. Yeah, it's it's pop for the sake
of pop. It's fun, it's light.
You you get through it real quick.
The cover apps surrenders. See.
I kind of like it. I.
Hate it when she announced it and because I feel like it was a
very quick announcement. I might have been even within
the same week it it just felt like I have this picture, I have
these songs because she had a whole bunch of other unreleased
songs. She's like, I have these songs,
here it is. And I think that always ruins it
for me when it comes to anyone's project.
Like I remember in compete with it with problematic.
You know, it's like it's finally here.
And I was like, it just she's like, here it is.
And I was like, well, that's not fun.
It it certainly does feel like a here damned take it there.
Yeah. But in terms of the tracks on
the API, I think at this stage I wasn't really paying attention
to Edison Ray, so I just don't really care too much for it.
I'm trying to think of the exec. I think it released while I was
in Auckland for a trip. I think I wasn't doing a show or
anything, but I think it was just visiting and it came out
and I listened to it all and I was like Oh my God, like she
hate this. And then I like thought about
where I was like that little TikTok girl like this fierce.
I think it. Was a slight acknowledgement of
that. Like obviously she's gone from
TikTok girl to yeah, like pop star.
Yeah, I was certainly. I wasn't expecting the choice of
an of it all. I was expecting, honestly, to
laugh at it and be like, oh, who's who's the other one?
Oh, we're going to make some enemies.
The demilio. Is it Dixie that has the song?
Yeah. Where it sounds like a kidz Bop
got a hold of her original recording.
I'm kind of the hell it goes. But yeah, now her career.
Yeah. Like.
I was expecting that, so when this EP started I was like wait.
I'm actually thinking about it now because I think I want to
say she, she's really obsessed. And then she was teasing music.
And I want to say that's when Charlie came about and that
their relationship had become like public.
People knew that they were like working together.
So I want to say it was actually then that I was like interested.
And then the whole thing leaked. I listened to the legs and I was
kind of like, you know, but in like a guilty pleasure sort of
way. I think at this stage it was.
Going to like Catholic guilt. I think at this stage it was
like, why are you into Edison Rae?
Yeah, there was. Still.
Trickling there was a certain level of like, well, I'm not
going to tell people, yeah, I like Edison Rae.
Yeah. And I.
Think that's what happened to me but then the other AP came out
and I was like. I loved it.
Now I will clue in our audience about our our eternal fight.
The most contingent point of the album is that Edison Ray has
claimed the iconic the iconic Lady Gaga has lost her some.
Might even say stole it. Some may even say shut the fuck
up, that she has grasped nothing on but the radio.
I have been listening to the song on fucking.
I have some YouTube 240P shit audio.
Lady Gaga's recording of it for years, yes.
I I was actually really excited when I because I think it might
be like a little snippet leaked or something.
I was really excited when I heard it.
I know a lot of people were upset.
I think, like you said, we've listened to it for years, a
decade probably. Like we knew it wasn't coming.
So it was really exciting to see another artist doing it.
Yes, well, that was my exit. Echoing on the situation.
I was like, well, if Lady Gaga's not going to have it, like,
might as well give it a shot. Like yeah, give it a life.
I think though it was just really random, really random.
TikTok girl Edison Ray has now got Lady Gaga's demo.
We've had this conversation before, but I want to echo the
like personal sentiment of like wanting to start music lovingly
Gaga and then this song gets offered to you and slides across
your desk. I I would absolutely take it.
I'd go, I absolutely want this on my discography.
I want everyone to know that I I want to give everyone a clue
into who I am as an artist. And that would be largely
informed by something like this. And I guess that's just my
assumption of like her being a fan like us and like knowing
nothing on but the radio and like, you know, going, oh, this
will be a little wink, wink, nudge.
All the people who love it turns out most of the people who loved
that song were not into her doing that.
I but I, I do agree with you. I think like at the time we
didn't know much about her as we do now.
Like it seemed like she kind of was just like given her all her
label bought it for her. We didn't really know she was
this huge pop fan. But I think that perception also
comes with the fact that she's like made a shit ton of money on
TikTok as like a yeah, 17 year old.
Yeah, whatever. However.
Like I feel like it could even be similar to like Paris Hilton
doing music where you start. I I don't want to say from the
from a low point, but I don't know where I'm going with this.
You've got a preconceived notion about you that you then have to
battle against. Yeah, like Paris Hilton saved
the album is If it was by someone else, they probably
would have done me there. True.
And I feel like it's kind of some of Edison Ray where it's
like the music's good. Well, I think that's actually
such a good like example to use because I think culturally at
the time, reality television was seen the way that at the time of
Edison coming out, that TikTok starts with huge like the social
trashy. Influencer as the.
No reality. Truly, truly.
But yeah, nothing wrong with the radio.
Nothing wrong with the radio. I still love listening to it.
It's not my guilty pleasure because I'm not guilty about it.
It's pleasure sometimes listen to Edison's version, but we
never gagas. Yeah, we never, I mean, Gagas,
just even quality wise, Gaga has such a power behind her voice
that she absolutely just makes any song massive.
Yeah. And it was just, I think it's
cool to, like, hear a different version of it.
And like, you know, Edison wasn't trying to hit some of the
notes that Gaga were the gauge piece of love.
But it made the song different and gave it a new life, which,
you know, I hope was the intention.
Yeah, like I found it. Fun.
Yeah. So it's just my only other note
of that API guess is Charlie's like rapping verse on their song
together was very much the like. I don't want to say birth of CR
because it was around the time of crash coming out I.
Was going to say birth of Christ.
Birth of Christ. It was the birth of Christ.
Y'all are about to find out. No, it was around the time of
crash. It was very crash coded, I'm
sure. Yeah, but cutthroat from my head
to the shoes. Bad bitch.
I'm already the new. Well, you're going to hate me
because I really don't like that song.
Hold on baby tight. I love it it.
Felt. Like my neck to die for.
I felt like a Charlie reject in every sense.
Yeah, I I guess the the entire EP just kind of stink of not
not. Redux.
That's the actual lyric. I yeah, this RR seeks to die
for. It's just, it's so campy and
fun. Love it.
It doesn't feel campy though, like the lyrics are campy but it
I don't know. I don't.
This is now releasing my Nick to die girl.
This Nick to die for. Girl, maybe I just related in a
way that you can't. Yeah.
Has she did she release anything before?
Like between a No because the guy keeps you wants to come.
Back No, because I I'd say that the other cultural relevancy she
had was being paparazzi reading Britney Spears's biography.
Yes, I'd say that's her only other notable outing between
ventures. Would you say you take take
Edison Ray seriously? See, here's the thing, even
throughout the like single release, the roll up for this
album, I was, even though I liked the EP, yeah, I wasn't
taking her seriously. And then Diet Pepsi hit and I
was like, oh, she's actually like.
OK. She's giving it a go.
Yeah, I was pretty much the same.
Like I know she was doing some like sort of, I guess brand
building leading up to Diet Pepsi, the tweets, I love music
or something like that. I love music and.
Spotify stats showing people like Bjork and Arka like it was
there was something going on that she was trying to build and
I think that's when I started locking on because that's very
much my Forte. So she put the cheese in the
mouse trap and you got slammed by the mouse trap.
It's that easy, Yeah, posial Spotify listening as Bjork.
And I'm like, oh. She put up a little bit of candy
down for the fat kid. Yeah.
She ran. Yeah.
But then yeah, she released Diet Pepsi.
I I don't think I liked it on 1st listen.
I I appreciated it. It's definitely growing on me.
It was, I love it now. It was for sure evoking, like,
more what she's giving now, like the Britney Spears of it all,
like the very specific notes of like, early 2000s.
Yeah, I like appreciated it. I didn't love it.
I don't think I had it saved for a while.
I yeah, I think I might have like taken me only a week to
really understand it, but I think I was just a little
confused what was going on, Like where?
Where she hitting? With the sound.
I think it was like, you know, floating around, like people
around us would play it a bit. And I wasn't really listening to
it. And then I, I think I watched
the music video and I was like, what the fuck is going on here?
And I was like, OK, let me lock it and listen to the song.
And I was actually impressed by like the songwriting and like
the extra structure of the song. I think production wise it's
amazing. Like the more I listen to it to
this day, the more I'm just genuinely impressed.
But I think the first time I kind of was like, oh, this is a
song was probably like Ivy. Like it came on.
I was probably fucked up, but it just came on.
Diet Pepsi came on at Ivy Bar. Yeah, that's crazy.
I should I? Have you've experienced?
That I don't think I have. Something tells me I would
remember. No, it was fierce.
Beautiful. Yeah.
What was the next song after that?
Was it high fashion? Aquamarine.
Oh, was. Oh yes, aquamarine.
Umm, that's cute, but weird. I yeah, I don't, I think I
don't. I don't like the production as
much on the song only because I feel like it's a bit imbalanced,
like she is doing like these little vocal runs and like,
really trying to like, sing in a higher range and stuff.
And I feel it's kind of hidden behind the actual music of the
song. But I think it works well
together. I didn't really like the music
video. Yeah, it's kind of ugly.
It's like the way they film it is kind of like Call Me by Your
Name because it's also it's giving like that like it's a
shot in film. And then also it's also like,
are they in Italy? Where are they?
What's happening here? The ring reminds me of Charlie
XX making Pink Diamond and the sole purpose of making it was
because she wanted a song called Pink Diamond.
Like it's, it's a pretty song title, but it it's kind of what
it's giving. But also, yeah, again, like
evoking at least what I thought the my first thought was that
mermaid movie Aquamarine. I was like, is this what she's
singing about? And then you know what?
I didn't look into it. I believed it.
Like I'm dancing in my own reflection.
I'm the ray of light. I'm transforming and realigning.
I'll take you with me high. All right, what does?
That mean? Probably not a lot, yeah.
And then honey, dive into me. I'm not hiding anymore.
I won't hide. I'm free, I don't get up.
Look, it sounds beautiful though.
Like I'm. I'm not sure I can actually
recall without looking any of the lyrics from the song, but Oh
no, definitely can't. Wind of the Sail ripped from my.
Neck I was just looking at that verse.
So it's swimming in the sea with the.
Oh, swimming in the sea with the.
Salt in my hair. Just by the sun.
It's a love of fear. Heart of the ocean around my
neck. I don't have to say, you know
what's next. Again, heart of the Ocean
referencing Titanic, her late 90s saying I feel like is she
potentially just jamming a bunch of things from the early 2000s
lexicon and to to give the vibe that she wants to give.
I think she's a mermaid brand building.
Mermaid brand building. Yeah, part of me does think that
like she she was like, OK, I want a song called Aquamarine.
What's like all of the stuff I know?
Water, salt. How did the ocean profession
like? Oh my God, love that movie.
I yeah, I agree. I think that's just wanted a
song like that. It's song about mermaids.
Well, maybe not, but I would take those mermaids.
You know, I would play mermaids to the song, Play mermaids, play
mermaids. Do you want to play?
Mermaids play. Mermaids play.
Mermaids like. What game's there?
Yeah. You want to play mermaids?
No. I could easily say we play
mermaids, yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, I think Arthur is high fashion though.
Yes. Yeah.
This is where I kind of disconnected from the project I.
Really connected. See, here we go.
Because I think for me, I looked usually with an album you get 3
singles and I looked at these three singles and I went, what
the fuck is the story she's trying to tell here?
Yeah, I was a little. Bit Pepsi, aquamarine and high
fashion. I was a little bit the same, but
I think with high fashion it was like the soundscape of it.
That's when I really saw the whole hyper pop like the the
love she had for that sort of genre coming through.
And I think the high fashion, I don't know if it was before or
after or during, but that's when she did the remix of Akka for
Aqua Aquamarine. And I think for me that it like
solidified that I guess it wasn't an act like she wasn't a
poser. I felt, yeah, I guess genuine.
I just love. That's the type of production I
love. Yeah.
I also, in just a general sense, I can appreciate that she's not
trying too hard to come off as not a poser.
Like she's not registering that people are assuming she's a
poser and then being like, no, guys, I'm not see, look, I'm,
I'm, I'm doing this. Yeah, I'm not a poser.
Wouldn't do this. Yeah.
Like she's just like, no, I'm just going to keep pumping out
what I. Want to do I really admire that
she just doesn't feel the need to defend.
Herself, it's got a real air of authenticity to it that I think
is part of the reason that she's won over a lot of people.
I think it's like people's authenticity when a lot of just
Arsenal people are authentic, you know, we're constantly
chasing like inspiration and stuff and to the point it's just
imitation. I.
Think yeah. Yeah, I feel a lot.
Yeah, I just. Yeah.
When did she release the cover album art?
Was it after high fashion? I feel like it was.
After headphones on I want to say.
Potentially because while we can also talk about the cover out
for the singles so far being a little crazy and even just the
imagery up until this point. I'm pretty sure isn't I think
Maurice just a screenshot for the music video.
Yes, like iPhone, you press both the buttons, screenshot, click.
Yeah, high fashion. This was her fate.
Yeah, he finds on music video screenshot.
Yeah. Same as a gun being here as a
kid, which I kind of liked. Like it made sense.
Yeah. But yeah, what did you think
about headphones on? I honestly, it was my favorite
up until that point. OK, so I put my head on.
I think he. Finds on what's my least
favorite. It's grown.
It's grown on me, don't worry. But it just sounded corny.
See. Yeah.
And I love that. No, I would like as I've
listened to the full album and like it's placing the album and
just re listening to it. It has grown on me a lot.
But yeah. Yeah, I think it just like
speaks to, again, her like authentic love of music and
like, it speaks to, you know, how she processes stuff
happening in her life and like the kind of reliance she has on
music, which. I feel like it's very common.
Yeah. Yeah.
No, Like, I think once this whole album released, that's
when I, like, fully took her seriously.
Like, I kind of liked her before I liked her music, but it was
almost like, interesting. It's funny that I like her.
Like, it's so funny. And I think at this point it's
like, no, I am. See, cause I I would say
probably up until the EP came out, I thought that Addison Ray
was Charlie D'amelio. Like I I'm not I 'cause I didn't
realise there was 22 d'amelios. I I thought one of them was
Edison Ray. I thought one of them was Edison
Ray d'amelio and one was how familiar I didn't I was.
It to say how so you thought? Dixie.
Sorry sweetie, I'm sure you're listening, but you were not on
my vernacular. I I feel like I only
differentiated because I was like, there's a bloodline.
There's a pretty 1 and that's how I differentiated the two.
But yeah, no, I think on album relation, listen to it.
I was like, oh, this is a good album.
Yeah, so Oh no, we cannot skip over.
Oh, fame is a. Gun fame is a gun.
Because I feel like this is where she really kicked this
shit into high gear. High because I feel like she's
at this point she'd released enough singles to where the gays
were interested and we all kind of cocked and turned our heads
and she really, she went now now really now it.
Was the one the famous thing was amazing.
Both, yeah. Lyrically, production wise,
every vocals are decent. I mean, I really turned to
Edison Ray's song for amazing vocals.
But I think, you know, the lyrics really impressed me with
this one. I need to pull up the lyrics
because I know there's a few lines in that song that really
get me. Yeah.
It just, I don't know, it really captured a moment.
Yeah. And like, the guys were loving
it. Yeah.
Like, I think with my line of work as a content creator, I
think, yeah, some of the lines of the song really were like one
being, do I provoke you with my tone of innocence?
Don't ask too many questions. There's my one suggestion.
You know, I keep it real. I love for the appeal.
Yeah. And also like the even the way
she sings those lines specifically where she like,
emphasizes certain syllables more and like puts different
emphasis and stress on them. It like really showed to me a
like, masterful understanding of music in the sense where like,
she could just written those words and done, done, done,
done, done, done, done, done, done.
It could sound like a dragger's verse so easily.
I think the song is the most definitive song of Edison Rae.
This is This defines her whole career.
See. But do we just think that
because we like it the most and that's where we want Edison Rae
to be? No, I, I feel like Edison Rae is
a huge lover of pop music, of fame, of just all that sort of
stuff. And I quite literally feel like
fame as a gun is that sort of. Music.
I've got a taste of the glamorous life.
Yeah, because I feel like this is the point at which I was
like, oh, I can't wait to see this album now.
Yeah. And here's where it happens.
So here's. Look, I'm lucky.
I've got a lot of opinions. OK We'd heard it.
Listen the entire album is the single she released.
Plus like there's like 2 full length songs no?
There is 123. Now you're you're counting those
untrelude songs, so. Sorry one.
Because here's the thing. Yeah, you press play on the
album 3. 4/5. You press play on the album and
you're hit with New York and that's like, oh, beautiful song.
Yeah, it it gave this. I might have just thought this
because it's called New York, but it gave me listening to
Nigeria 9 for the first time, like sitting the scene, like I
love New York, love New York. Just like the vibe was set
really well. And I was like, I see how this
relates to the other singles and stuff.
And then Diet Pepsi. Yep.
OK, OK. And then money is everything.
And I'm like, oh, you know, fierce, fierce.
But then it's well, firstly money is everything stops after
2 minutes. That's non tralude, no?
It's not girl song. Oh my God, you Pink Panther
safe. I first listen, I don't like
money is everything, but it really grew on me.
I feel like that's her being campy.
But it's not campy enough like it's.
It's kind enough to die for. Girl, my Nick to die for.
No, I I really like her. It's, it's not that I don't like
it, it's that it look, peace and love.
We can play around with this song structure, OK?
The structure of a song doesn't have to be first chorus, first
chorus, bridge chorus. You can't do a full song in 2
minutes. No.
That's half a song, no? You can do it.
This might just be my own personal experiences of growing
up with CDs. Do you know what that is?
Young, shiny. I, I was the same.
I mean Ethel canstand those songs are 10 minutes.
Girl. Well, firstly, that's the
soundtrack. OK.
We'll get to Ethel. OK.
No, it's just it is what it is I feel.
And if you're not fed, repeat it.
Oh my God, play. Again.
Repeat. Yeah, I just, I don't know.
It felt like money's everything kind of felt like a diary entry
like that. She just put a beat to and then
was like, and then she got to the end of the page and was
like, that's enough. She wrote a diary.
Diary Paper. No, I I like it.
I wouldn't be surprised if you went into the stems of the song
and you heard the pages flipping.
That's what I'll say. Yeah, I liked it.
It's just two minutes.
That's an introlude. I feel like under 2 minutes is
an introlude. It's 2 minutes and 2 seconds.
Which, yeah, so it's the song girl.
This just passed. Girl.
I put my ring bean next. Yeah, yeah.
I mean, we're talking about ecuomerine.
Yeah, Lost and found. Is the interlude too high
fashion? Yes.
I don't see the point in the interludes.
I here's the thing, if this was like ACD in the early 2000s,
which is the kind of the vibe she's trying to give here,
especially with the album artwork and everything, I could
see her not listing this as a track.
And at the first half of it being at the end of our career
and the second-half of it being at the start of high fashion or
something similar to that. They don't even transition
smoothly. No.
So what are we doing? Yeah, did you forget to write
lyrics to this one? I, I feel like they, like her
antelods are like the weak moments in her sort of music
career where she's trying too hard, that those sort of
accusations come back. Oh, Gaga, because it's like
peace and love as well. I think they weaken the actual
additional songs because we look lost and found and in high
fashion and then we've got some of forever in in the Rain.
I can't remember which of those is an actual song.
They're. Both.
They're both real songs, See, They've blended together in my
mind because I look and I go, Well, one of those must be an
ontalude. No, they're good songs.
I like them. Are we saying that right?
Is that ontalude? I always said Interlude, but you
said and I just kind of started following.
Me trying to be all prissy and fancy.
No. They're.
Good songs, but it's very like historic.
Yeah, I I cannot remember summer forever.
Or in the rain. Can't remember it.
I'm trying. To thanks for Laura.
Summer forever, that's 4 minutes, and then in the rain
that's probably 4 minutes. Punchy.
Hell, I can't remember either of those dogs.
Yeah, I can't remember it in the rain now I think about it.
I know someone for you, but because that was the song that
like, I I think I hated it first and then I listened.
I was like, wait, this is the one.
Yeah. So we have those two songs in
Fame as a Gun kind of weird. And what I'm remembering it is
like the upbeat step and the track list.
And then we have times like these and I I don't think I
like. Yeah.
Again his. His I'm acting like this album
hitting the shelves as you know, hitting the second tower or
whatever. But to me, releasing so many of
these songs as singles makes the songs you didn't act like I, I
don't know if it's necessarily that it gives that you're
ashamed of them, but like it gives that they're unimportant.
And obviously that's resonated with me because I I can barely
remember any. I think this album was meant to
be a mix tape but due to label shit that I have no idea about,
I feel like they were like you. You need to shortly, but I.
Also want to note that this album is 33 minutes long.
Yeah. 12 songs love see, but if I was hit it, if I if I wanted
to have an hour of music from this album, I wouldn't play the
whole album twice, I'd play the singles 3 times.
I disagree. I, I don't know, I really liked
that. It's very because it's
atmospheric, it's really good background.
Yeah, very there. You know what?
I will agree it was very atmospheric.
Yeah, it transported me. I was, I was a little
disappointed because of famous a gun in New York.
Like I I would have liked to see a bit more of that.
But I think, yeah, listening over and over that they fit
appropriately. Yeah, really.
Like. That yeah, I mean, I guess we'll
see what comes with her next full release, but I don't really
understand the exact direction she's going.
Like I have, I have a decent understanding of who she is
through, you know, both her EP and this.
Like, I'm like, Oh yeah, that's where she fits in, but I just
don't know. I don't know her trajectory.
Because I don't know her. I don't know her.
I. Excuse me, I know her
personally. I just I don't really get the
drop in the ray. Yeah, another confusing she.
Dropped her last name. Yeah, I.
And she's now dropping her middle name.
I just really hope that it's not in an attempt to distance
herself from her persona because I feel like.
What else would? It be though exactly because I
feel like she has distanced herself from TikTok brat enough.
Yeah, yeah. Like I I don't think it's
necessary. Like part of me thinks that she
on some level believes she was going to flop.
Yeah, because to this, this album was anticipated.
Yeah. So to be like, this is the last
time I'm going by Edison Ray, you have to then start again.
Remember the weekend was going to do that.
Like he's like the last time I'm going, it's the weekend.
I'm doing Abel and I don't think he's actually released music
under Abel. What's he going to say?
I don't know her. No, literally like he announced
he was doing it and I'm pretty sure he hasn't done it yet
because it is extremely difficult to.
Is he able to release music? I yeah, I it's just, I think in
the weakens case it's giving it's like where when you have to
say, is it the word? Dilution.
Yeah, like like I'm self absorbed.
So I don't think it's that with Addison, but yeah, it's just
it's really difficult to rebrand under a different name.
I switch. When it's not necessary.
Is it like a a label contract thing where she like I don't
want to. I don't think so because you
can't really like the label would have to agree, like let's
say she's in this record deal, that's five albums.
The label would have to agree to kind of like transfer over to
this because the way record deals work is the artist name is
like a product. It's like iPhone, Samsung phone.
The artist name is in the contract as a product.
So I'd be like a transfer. But that opens it to like
renegotiation, no? Yeah, potentially.
Like it probably would have just been like I'm just using 5
albums as an example. I've no idea how long her record
deal is. Yeah, but even if it was like 2
full albums and she was like, let's renegotiate that.
I want to study in. Yeah, I I don't know.
I don't. Yeah, I just, yeah, I don't
understand going through because I was being a bit harsh.
Even the songs that I didn't like love like it.
It reveals more to me about her, about her as an artist, about
her as a person. Like I understood her better at
listening to this album. So don't get changing, whether
it's introducing A persona or introducing like a separation
between her as a person, her as an artist.
Yeah, I I guess we'll see it. Could just be the one name thing
and maybe she thinks she's Beyoncé.
Oh look, I I, I liked that EP, but you're not Beyoncé, your
neck is not that. Maybe put something on with the
radio? I yeah, it's just, it's, it's
always annoying to me. Like why are you changing your
name man? Girl talk it, why do you.
Have to tend. To know no, it's giving.
Why are you? No, it's giving the baby drag
queen who decides they need a rebrand, so they change their
drag name and I'm like, you just lost all of your project.
Yeah, you've lost your entire project.
You've lost all of your progress in the scene.
Like you've basically just hit the reset button.
Yeah. And for what?
No, yeah, I has. She explained that.
I don't know if she has, maybe we just missed it, but I'd be
interested to see an explanation behind it.
Yeah, but I feel like that explanation quite.
Literally is the type of word. I mean, yeah, I don't know.
We again, we don't know the conversations.
They haven't been buying Closings.
She might have been scrapped for or scrapped from the running for
the Britney biopic. And that might have really
affected her. And she might have gone to them
and been like, why? And they said because we kind of
some TikTok star being Britney Spears.
Who the fuck are you kidding? Get out of here.
And. Then I got a class fucking
generously Wilson bitch. Oh my God, I honestly I do hope
it's Addison. I wasn't.
Purely purely for the the camp factor of her being packed
reading the book and also like she's from Tennessee and she has
like a cute southern accent, but.
I think in terms of the Britney bar pick, I I think it was
Britney bar that I thought about this recently.
It might have been another bar. No OK, I was thinking about
Ethel Kane movie, but this is the Britney Spears bar pick.
I just want to complete nobody. What?
Oh, as I think you're I thought you were saying that Brittany's
barfik would be called a complete nobody.
Like a complete stranger or a a complete unknown.
A complete nobody. The Britain.
'S too farfik the Britain complete, nobody complete.
Nobody. That's why he's so gay.
When you say that, I was like, what?
I want someone that, Yeah, first gig.
I don't know, but I kind of feel that way about every biopic.
Because I feel like I want them to be able to sing.
I don't even really care. Actually, you know what?
I take it back because that Tina, Tina Turner biopic where
Angela Bassett is lip syncing the entire time?
That's fierce. I don't.
Know that I honestly don't really care.
Like just lip sync with that actual person.
Yeah, Yeah, well, I've changed my mind.
You've changed my mind. You know who would do a great
job? Britney.
Spears, Angel Bessett. Britney Spears.
Yeah, it's Britney Spears. Singing Sly for you.
No, she was lip syncing, remember?
We've decided she's lip syncing. But yes, who would be the
craziest person for For Britney. For Britney?
Oh, who would be the craziest person for Britney Spears?
Lady Gaga. What was Christina Aguilera?
Tina Aguilera. Yeah, Lady Gaga's Britney.
She's kind of old. Britney's son.
Is it in drag? Derek Berry.
Is it Britney's whole life? I've got no bloody idea, I.
Haven't read the book. What is it based on the book?
Have they said that? I thought it was.
She sold the rights from the book.
I've got no idea, I thought she just sold the rights to the
movie, but it might have been. Using the book.
As it's a book tie in. Interesting.
So I think her young Britney as a kid, I don't know any child
actors. I don't like child actors so.
No, I I believe children should not be able to act.
Yes, like lawfully and just because they're annoying.
Yes, they are also. It's like a movie where every
time a kid comes, I'm like, get them off.
What? Well no, it's just like the
actual like ethics of a child and like the fact that they
don't actually get paid but their parents do Disgusting.
So I can't think of a role for Britney as a kid, Britney as a
team. I think Edison if it was like a
small segment of the movie. I I would love.
I don't want to see Edison for two.
Hours. Here's the thing, when Britney's
we're talking too much about Britney Spears, we just need it.
We need to stop and we need to do another episode about Britney
Spears. But I believe Edison would do a
really good job as a a young adult.
Britney Spears. I don't know.
I just can she act. I don't watch that movie.
I don't was she in a lot of it? I don't watch it.
I. Thought she was the main girl.
Look girl, how hard is it to act?
Oh my God, it doesn't. Remember her relationship with
Kourtney Kardashian where they were besties.
Kourtney Kardashian Edison. They were besties.
What when the fact did that happen?
I feel like I was during the AP era, maybe even before I'm.
Going to be honest, I heard you say that before and I assumed
you were like having a little moment.
Yeah, I want to say just. Kourtney.
Not Kindle.
Not Kindle, not Kylie, the elders, Kourtney who was like
50, maybe not 50, but. Jagger.
Yeah, they were like besties for a vet.
Travis Parker's wife. Yes.
Kourtney Kardashian Kourtney Kardashian What what they mean
they possibly have. So I think they became friends
and then Kourtney was in the movie.
Have you seen that Twitter page? Amazing pop star with.
The profile. Picture that's Kourtney
Kardashian on that is from the movie.
So they starred in a movie together.
That's all I know about the movie.
But yeah, no, they were like really good friends for a bit.
She wasn't even Edison was even on the episode of Came Out With
Kardashians. I what?
And I'm pretty sure in this episode, no one was like
Courtney's become friends with an 18 year old girl who is on
TikTok because I I want to say somehow Travis back was involved
in like the making of that sort of friendship.
I feel like I should've done more research into Edison.
We did this, he popped into my kid now.
Outside of I think I took her music so seriously because I
didn't know much about her as a person or as a persona before
that. I'm reading here that she dated
Bryce Hall. Who's that again?
Bryce Hall is a dog. That's Tanamoto.
Yeah, she. Has like the big back.
Auntie Bryce. Oh God, she's.
Hunched. She's hunched.
I'm going full hunched. I'm going.
What was she wearing? Can.
The Roe release the song Edison Rae.
There's a song called Edison Rae but I.
Think I need a bad bleep. I don't know.
Well, she's like. I'm reading a Wikipedia's page,
not listening to it. No, I think that song where
she's like doing that and she's like, I need a bad bleep.
Addison Rae. Oh, she did endorse Kamala
though. So Queen.
Yeah, thank God. Oh.
No, Yeah, people thought she was a Trumpy.
Well, it's because of that video of her going and introducing
herself to Trump at that boxing. Yeah, she.
Was really what like she was, I want to say dumb, but do you
think it was intentional or an act?
I here's the thing. I truly don't know because have
have you actually seen the video of her doing it?
No, she like. It's kind of too painful.
To watch, it's like a bunch of influences.
Firstly, why they would place a bunch of influences directly
behind Donald Trump, I've got no fucking idea.
Because. Easily influenceable.
Fierce No, but they like it's this this this guy filming and
then out of the the left side of the camera Edison like just lean
forwards goes hi sorry nice to meet you My name is Addison.
Sorry, I just had to meet you. Oh.
Yeah, but it's. But it's not in like a Oh my
God, I'm a big fan. Like it's not like a Trumpy and
inherently Trumpy way. It's like in.
AI don't. Oh my God, we're in the same
room. I'm sorry, I couldn't help
myself. Yeah, I I don't think it was
taken that seriously. Like at worst it was Stan
bitches. Yeah.
Using it to try. Yeah, it.
Was like when Kim Kardashian went to the White House doing
that shit. Like it's not weird.
But wait, was Edison Ray in the hype house?
She was. I she was in the first big
TikTok content house. Yeah, she was.
Because I would love to get that.
Yes. Was there an adult?
I was. Like I've always wanted to start
those hype houses and shit these 16 year olds.
There was like, Oh my God, we'll do a deep dive.
But there were so many because it started with YouTube content
houses. And there were no adults present
there either. And they were like drinking a
bunch and doing drugs and shit and then getting on and doing
like, but here's my back to school.
My back to school is like fully a 20 year old being like, here's
what, here's what I'm bringing back to school.
It's like, you're not in school, bitch.
And also, I can tell you're hungover.
Yeah. When you're living with all your
friends that do drag as well, did it feel like a hype house?
Oh, it's it didn't even feel like a house.
Terrifying. Yeah, in in a way.
Yeah. Gosh, honestly, there should
have been cameras. We should have been posting more
also. Yeah, never again.
It's not too late, no. It is.
It's too late. It is too late.
It's too late. Yeah, Edison Ray and Kourtney
Kardashian. Yeah, what the party facts said
about. I honestly don't know, I swear
there's nothing that came from it apart from that movie, so
unless it was just promotion for me, what?
Else do we know about Edison Ray?
Umm, hydrated. Hydrated, hydrated.
Oh my God, that's fun. Yeah, but that's the thing.
Like she, she just seems so much more smarter.
So I'm like, I want to say it's an act but I feel like it's too
calculated. To but also like, peace and
love. She's from Tennessee.
Like who else is from Let a girl be a little dumb, you know, I
don't know. Like, again, she just I I don't
want to say misguided, just like, yeah, I bet someone from
Tennessee, like she sees Donald Trump.
I've got to meet this guy. Yeah, no, I like, I wouldn't say
she's done anything overly offensive.
Keep thinking about the COVID, the handheld mask and you're
looking so fucking fierce, faceguard.
You're blowing in the wind and just holding it up.
It's so. I feel like we've not actually
talked enough about how she is just stunningly gorgeous.
No. Like, yeah, yeah.
And a dancer, I think I I figured she's a dancer, yeah,
even though she was, I think there's a tick tock dancers is a
bit. Yeah.
Like what the fuck were they doing?
But. Well I the fact that TikTok
dances were as big as they were in general is just crazy.
Yeah, that just reminded me. Charlie d'emilio got a Super
Bowl ad when she did some dance like.
What does that have to do with Edison Ray?
No, I just. I just.
Reminded you. Oh, like as a promotion for
TikTok? See, I don't.
Even think it was for TikTok, I think it was for some random
like something and she it's just her doing a fucking TikTok
dance. That's crazy.
Yes, like. What was going on in the water?
I people watched people do the Renegades and it would get
millions of humbly like, are we? Still in the musically phase?
Is that why? No, because Musically and TikTok
are the same app. Yeah, I'm just wondering if
that's why. Because people can't let go.
Wait, yeah. So when musically became TikTok,
did like or firstly everyone's musically stayed up?
Yes, yes I would. Know I.
Would know. Oh yes, I did.
I had to go down. Yes, I know many.
I know a few people who simply did not remember their password
to their Musically. So their musically are still up
to this day. I could could you imagine?
Yeah, it just did. Did that mean like the algorithm
when it like changed the tech talk and like changed hands and
then like lots of people started using it?
I yeah, I think it's just because.
They like the algorithm like favoured musical musically based
content. Yeah, I think it was just TikTok
going the transition like TikTok was known for.
Transition. TikTok being I mean, yeah,
TikTok being known as Musically, Yeah.
Were you? I mean, you saw the horrendous
shit you did on Musically. No, I didn't.
I wasn't interested in the app. Actually.
I was too busy. I'm Vine.
I think I got the end of. Vine honestly, there is there is
something so inherent about me and I find it so suspicious,
especially now that I do Dread egg in the sense that like I
knew not to make any any of that shit.
Like I didn't make YouTube videos.
I didn't, I didn't make vines, I didn't make music.
Please, like I I wasn't involved in any of this.
Why do you why do you think that?
I've I've got no bloody idea I I would not even do like a speech
in front of my class in like year ten 11/12/13.
I was the complete opposite. I made everything and I do.
I wish I had now, but. Edison Rae.
Yeah.
Honestly, young rising emerging icon.
I can't wait to see what she does next.
Younger than us, younger than us, buddy, 24, Yeah.
No, yeah, I'm, I'm tuned in. I'm excited.
Yeah, I love her. Yeah, For our next segment,
we'll be ranking this album at our lowest tier.
We've got Jobless the Next up staff meeting next time staff to
that casual contract then employed and at our top tier we
have promoted. So what are we rigging this one
Axel? I don't think I want to say
promoted. I, I feel like, like I feel like
I've LED everyone to believe that I would say promoted.
I felt maybe just employed. Employed.
Hmm, I'll be honest, my first my impulse was casual contract.
No, I, I. But I I feel like it deserves a
bit better than. That yeah, I like, I feel like
I've been saying I really like it, but I it's just this natural
thing of me that I'm. Just if we're talking about like
the sociological implications of our ranking, it's like someone
who's shut up, someone who's employed is like, you know what
you're you're clocked in to this job, this job being my music
taste. Like when she releases something
next, I'm going to check it out And you're employed because like
a casual contract is like, oh, if it comes across my desk, like
I guess I'll TuneIn, but like, no, I'm going to seek out what
Edison does next. Yeah, no, no, yeah, for sure.
Yeah. Employed, like, I think because
that previous episode was Brett and Brett being promoted, I have
to kind of be like, is this the same as Brett?
No, God, no. Well, again in my brain I'm
like, fuck, no casual contract, but I think employed.
Yeah, it's it has done enough for me to be like, yeah, I'm
turned in. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I agree. Thank you so much for tuning in
to Jobless Behaviour. When I keep up to date with
everything going on at the office.
