8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,600
So today's episode, I'll be 
honest. 

9
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,300
I'm so nervous about it. 
Don't I've been thinking about 

10
00:00:36,300 --> 00:00:38,700
it for days. 
Like I literally woke up at 5 

11
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:42,100
a.m. and started writing more 
notes to prepare for this. 

12
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,500
Yeah. 
Mel's been stressed and guys 

13
00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:47,500
because this is a couple that is
controversial. 

14
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,700
It's Taylor Swift and John 
Mayer. 

15
00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:54,300
Now, we hear this talked about 
all the time that they had dated

16
00:00:54,300 --> 00:01:00,700
and she was 19 and he was 32 and
you know, some people It goes a 

17
00:01:00,900 --> 00:01:03,100
haven't heard that. 
Yeah, that's true. 

18
00:01:03,300 --> 00:01:05,900
Some people have it. 
Like, I am not in the fandom and

19
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:09,600
I have heard that but, like, 
some people like, about Charlie,

20
00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:11,400
my boyfriend doesn't know that's
true. 

21
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,100
You know, that's true. 
And like she will forget. 

22
00:01:14,100 --> 00:01:17,000
Sometimes she, he was America's 
bad boy. 

23
00:01:17,300 --> 00:01:21,000
She was America's good, girl. 
It's kind of like too good to be

24
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,400
true. 
It is almost too good to be 

25
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,300
true. 
It's kind of like a scale as old

26
00:01:24,300 --> 00:01:26,200
as time in a way. 
Yeah. 

27
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,800
Like they're both like really 
big Arc types. 

28
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,700
Yeah. 
Is there an image is yeah? 

29
00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:38,000
They both have just like such 
stereotypical images that you 

30
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,800
would see. 
But John Myers interesting 

31
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:46,100
because his music is not, his 
music is perceived as very like 

32
00:01:46,100 --> 00:01:51,700
soft, you know? 
Yeah, almost kind of sissy Yeah,

33
00:01:51,700 --> 00:01:55,100
I would say so some people 
although you can, I mean, we're 

34
00:01:55,100 --> 00:02:00,100
going to get into their music, 
but I feel like his music does 

35
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:06,100
feel like it does relate to his 
reputation. 

36
00:02:06,500 --> 00:02:08,199
I like his music. 
By the way, don't think it is to

37
00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:13,300
see, but like, you know, yeah. 
Compared to metal or something. 

38
00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:17,200
Yeah, yeah, no, totally, yeah, 
it's not like a rock star by any

39
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,600
means. 
He is a great musician. 

40
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:21,600
Hmm. 
Most, they Both are really 

41
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,500
talented musicians and I want to
get this out a way, the way that

42
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:27,500
I'm a fan of both of them and 
listened to both their music. 

43
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:34,600
And I also want to get this out 
of the way that I have a 

44
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,500
feeling, there might be some 
Taylor Swift fans, listening, 

45
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:43,100
who are expecting this episode 
to be us like completely 

46
00:02:43,300 --> 00:02:48,500
trashing John Mayer. 
Mmm, for two hours, and we're 

47
00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:50,700
definitely going to be critical 
of John Mayer. 

48
00:02:50,900 --> 00:02:56,500
Like 100%, but if you're going 
to be disappointed that it's not

49
00:02:56,500 --> 00:02:58,600
going to be totally black and 
white. 

50
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:04,300
Mmm, don't listen or I'm 
expecting some people will 

51
00:03:04,300 --> 00:03:07,200
definitely disagree at times but
please just be respectful 

52
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,000
because I'm definitely afraid of
Taylor Swift fans well Mouse. 

53
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,700
Done a lot of research and she's
going to share what she found 

54
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,000
and I think based on what you've
said to me, some of it might 

55
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,800
contradict with what people 
think. 

56
00:03:21,300 --> 00:03:25,200
Yes, kind of. 
So, I mean all of it but I still

57
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,700
don't feel like I totally 
understand what happened now. 

58
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,600
I don't think we're supposed to 
know what happened but it's just

59
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:36,200
not as clear as day as I think. 
A lot of people think the 

60
00:03:36,208 --> 00:03:41,700
situation is interesting. 
I'm excited. 

61
00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:43,600
Yeah. 
Like surprisingly, like I did 

62
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,900
false on down some rabbit holes 
where I think are a little bit 

63
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:50,800
more fair to John Mayer than 
people might want. 

64
00:03:50,900 --> 00:03:54,400
So and you guys know I did say 
four episodes ago. 

65
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,800
I didn't think they'd actually 
ever dated. 

66
00:03:58,500 --> 00:04:00,700
Yeah, I know a bunch of people 
messaged us. 

67
00:04:00,700 --> 00:04:02,500
Like they did. 
Yeah. 

68
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:04,900
Actually, they actually did. 
Have you heard the song? 

69
00:04:04,900 --> 00:04:08,800
But like that's a thing. 
Yeah, it's just I'll get into 

70
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,000
that. 
So, okay, unfortunately, because

71
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,800
I do worry that this episode 
might be four hours long. 

72
00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:20,300
I didn't add Taylor Swift's 
background here, but we already 

73
00:04:20,300 --> 00:04:21,300
did her. 
Beck. 

74
00:04:21,300 --> 00:04:26,700
Yeah, exactly. 
So your mind racial take tune, 

75
00:04:26,700 --> 00:04:30,800
huh? 
Yeah. 

76
00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:34,900
So if you want to pause this 
episode, if you haven't listened

77
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:40,600
to that one yet it's episode 13.
Perfect to talk about Miss 

78
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:45,400
Taylor, Alison Swift born, 
December 13th, Pennsylvania and 

79
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,200
singer-songwriter. 
But yeah, and then we have John 

80
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:54,300
Clayton, mayor born, October 
16th, 1977 that makes him a 

81
00:04:54,300 --> 00:04:55,900
Libra. 
Today. 

82
00:04:55,900 --> 00:05:00,400
He's 45 years old who was born 
in Bridgeport Connecticut, his 

83
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,200
dad is Richard Mayer. 
Former High School principal and

84
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,600
his mom is Margaret Hoffman a 
middle school English teacher 

85
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:13,000
and guys, I got this. 
His dad was 50 years old when 

86
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,000
John was born. 
Mmm. 

87
00:05:15,100 --> 00:05:19,900
And John's mom was 30. 
So they have a 20-year age 

88
00:05:19,900 --> 00:05:22,500
difference and I think they got 
one. 

89
00:05:22,500 --> 00:05:26,900
They it is common and I think 
they got together when his mom 

90
00:05:26,900 --> 00:05:33,800
was like 25 and his dad was 45 
and so this I think we can just 

91
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,800
open. 
This can of worms now can of 

92
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:42,900
worms now because Swift and John
Mayer have a huge gap, which is,

93
00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:48,700
I think Super controversial. 
It's why this relationship is. 

94
00:05:49,100 --> 00:05:51,800
It's one of the biggest things 
that people criticize John Mayer

95
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,100
about, because Taylor Swift was 
19. 

96
00:05:54,500 --> 00:06:00,000
And John Mayer was 32. 
Well, they say she was 19, but 

97
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,000
I'm gonna get to that. 
And it's just interesting to 

98
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,800
think that his parents had an 
even bigger age Gap and it makes

99
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,700
me wonder like that. 
It's just be so normal to him 

100
00:06:09,700 --> 00:06:15,300
because I love ya Ray. 
I will have to stop the episode 

101
00:06:15,300 --> 00:06:18,100
right there.
