Apple - Charli xcx

Oh, of course Charli XCX is definitely just recycling that ultra-sophisticated, high-brow techno pop from the early 2000s—you know, the era of iconic lyrical masterpieces like "My Humps" and "Blue (Da Ba Dee)." She's just sitting in her neon-lit studio, sipping Surge, thinking, "What the world really needs right now is the spiritual successor to Eiffel 65 but with more eyeliner and existential dread."

Because when Charli painstakingly curates glitchy hyperpop layers, collaborates with bleeding-edge producers, and redefines digital pop for a new generation… that’s clearly just a carbon copy of that time Cascada told us every time we touched, we got this feeling. Groundbreaking stuff.

And don’t even get me started on her wild originality—like using autotune and synthesizers. No one's ever done that before. I mean, Britney Spears? Never heard of her. Daft Punk? Total unknowns.

Charli’s entire aesthetic? Just a Hotmail-era fever dream with a Y2K choker slapped on it. Her fans don’t appreciate nuance and innovation, they just miss Motorola ringtones and LimeWire viruses.

So yeah—if you think Charli XCX is just rehashing bad techno pop from the early 2000s, congratulations on having the musical analysis depth of a dial-up modem.

Chibbs
This is 1001 Songs That Make You Want to Die, the podcast we talk about songs so bad it makes you want to hook up your dick to a medieval rack.

00:51.55
Mad Dog
Yeah, 100%. The rack. It's true.

00:51.80
Bevo
Have you seen that meme?

00:52.86
Mad Dog
It's so true.

00:52.88
Bevo
That's like there's one point in the stretching rack where it would feel really, really good.

00:56.22
Chibbs
Yeah, that's a great me. There's one point on the rack that would feel amazing.

01:03.47
Bevo
So same for the ah dick rack.

01:06.02
Mad Dog
but so

01:05.59
Chibbs
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:07.95
Mad Dog
but so true

01:09.34
Chibbs
I i just sort of hope there was a sadistic enough king or lord at some point that, yeah, just was like, I'm not going to kill you, but your dick will be ripped off.

01:19.77
Bevo
imagine Imagine the torture rack for the dick is just a tiny little reproduction of the stretching rack.

01:23.17
Chibbs
It's a tiny little rack.

01:27.12
Chibbs
Well, imagine, I don't know, don't know what the proportions were. If you go to the Tower of London, the doorways are so small because they were all tiny back then.

01:35.52
Bevo
Are they?

01:37.91
Mad Dog
Yeah. Yeah. Small humans.

01:39.06
Chibbs
Yeah. Not enough food.

01:40.92
Mad Dog
I remember that.

01:41.53
Chibbs
Not enough food.

01:42.15
Mad Dog
Yeah.

01:42.30
Chibbs
No one grew big.

01:43.09
Bevo
I have a theory that um Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ was a time traveler and he was just really tall, like comparatively.

01:45.00
Mad Dog
Everyone was pulling each other's dicks off.

01:46.50
Chibbs
Yeah.

01:51.06
Chibbs
he so He was six foot five.

01:51.22
Bevo
he's standing, yeah, standing knee deep in water.

01:52.00
Mad Dog
Right.

01:54.16
Bevo
Everyone's like, that cunt's walking on water.

01:55.95
Chibbs
but Holy fucking shit. Ignore his wet shins.

02:01.42
Mad Dog
Yeah.

02:00.91
Bevo
Yeah.

02:02.39
Mad Dog
And he's got knees for feet.

02:02.88
Bevo
And that's how he's done all those miracles. It's just modern technology.

02:05.95
Chibbs
He's the one that figured out to put how you can put shoes on your knees and make it look like you're tiny.

02:06.56
Mad Dog
Yeah.

02:11.68
Mad Dog
they see

02:14.19
Bevo
Anyway, it's ah it's a Brat Summer Podcast.

02:14.62
Chibbs
I'm going to write a book about this.

02:18.17
Mad Dog
Debunking. Yeah. Yeah, it is.

02:21.16
Bevo
Brat Podcast. I don't know. I'm so out of touch.

02:26.44
Chibbs
and Speaking about being out of touch, we are doing Apple by Charlie XCX.

02:26.66
Bevo
brett Brat Man and Robin.

02:53.66
Chibbs
but I don't know if that was a chorus or not. I literally couldn't tell any part from the next.

02:56.38
Bevo
They're all the same.

02:59.34
Chibbs
Was that a chorus, you reckon?

03:00.28
Bevo
don't know.

03:02.06
Chibbs
Interesting.

03:02.09
Bevo
That's about the third time I've listened to it just then.

03:04.25
Mad Dog
Yeah. Yeah. I have no clue.

03:06.62
Chibbs
Yeah, and and should we point out now, biggest artist on earth, Charlie XCX.

03:10.01
Bevo
Yeah.

03:13.05
Mad Dog
Is Really?

03:13.81
Chibbs
Yeah, she I think she headlined Coachella and she plays...

03:16.16
Bevo
Yeah. and No, no, no. Green Day headlined Coachella and she, she wore a sash that said should have been headliner or something like that.

03:17.61
Chibbs
Oh, sorry, Green Day did. Yeah.

03:22.44
Chibbs
Okay.

03:22.94
Bevo
And,

03:23.25
Chibbs
She plays arenas.

03:23.84
Mad Dog
Really?

03:24.16
Chibbs
she play If Taylor Swift plays there, Charli XCX plays there. Yeah.

03:28.15
Mad Dog
Really?

03:28.19
Chibbs
Which is funny because I saw Charli XCX live, I only just remember now, as the support for Taylor Swift on the Reputation Tour.

03:34.66
Bevo
yeah right were you impressed she's

03:36.09
Chibbs
Yeah. And I remember being... Thinking, this is shit. And also...

03:39.81
Bevo
she's going to be the most popular artist of the in the world yeah

03:41.75
Chibbs
Yeah, that never occurred to me at all. um And um my daughter, when she was maybe eight or nine, was obsessed with this song called I Don't Want to Go to School, which was by Charli XCX. And I thought that was absolute fucking garbage and would refuse to put it on.

03:58.62
Chibbs
Like, no, I don't want to listen to it. It's terrible. Again, I've got this history with Charlie XCX that I didn't know about. um

04:06.86
Mad Dog
Well,

04:07.03
Chibbs
And she came out and she sung most of Shake It Off.

04:07.41
Bevo
popping up. and up

04:10.53
Chibbs
um

04:10.62
Bevo
Okay.

04:11.47
Chibbs
And I thought that was bullshit.

04:14.70
Mad Dog
that is bullshit.

04:14.03
Bevo
Yeah, right.

04:14.28
Chibbs
Yeah.

04:14.94
Bevo
i'm I'm interested to hear more about her because I feel like the so but me personally, and this might be a spoiler for later, it does nothing for me.

04:16.07
Mad Dog
ah

04:22.95
Bevo
I couldn't tell you what she looks like because she seems to always be wearing i' disguise.

04:26.26
Mad Dog
No.

04:28.67
Bevo

04:28.88
Chibbs
Yeah, she's a two-face.

04:53.45
Bevo
Did Gavin make some kind of fortune?

04:55.98
Chibbs
He did. He did. He did. Luckily.

04:58.62
Bevo
Wait, you better introduce Mad Dog first.

04:59.25
Chibbs
Luckily, did. Yeah.

05:01.25
Bevo
It'll get upset.

05:01.50
Chibbs

05:04.54
Mad Dog
Woof, woof, everyone.

05:05.14
Chibbs

05:05.11
Bevo
Oh, I like that.

05:05.69
Chibbs
It's

05:05.87
Bevo

05:10.17
Mad Dog

Chibbs
a Marjay in dog form.

05:10.55
Bevo
Yeah.

05:13.01
Chibbs
um Yeah, Gav, he's been tinkering with some inventions, and this one's obviously got him got him on the gravy train because he doesn't need that sweet, sweet podcast money anymore. so ah It's called the Hush Me.

05:27.43
Chibbs
Do you know, can you guess what it's called? What it does?

05:30.60
Bevo
The hush me

05:32.00
Chibbs
Hush Me.

05:32.73
Bevo

05:33.47
Mad Dog

05:37.67
Bevo
yeah

05:38.93
Chibbs
ah kavin Kevin would like that.

05:41.12
Bevo
I'm guessing it's some kind of mute for your mouth so you can scream.

05:41.50
Chibbs
yeah

05:43.89
Chibbs
So... Yeah, apparently it's a it's a personal voice mask for mobile phones that look like a dystopian Bane muzzle, and it lets you make private calls in public without anyone hearing you.

05:58.04
Bevo
Oh, okay, I was close.

05:59.62
Chibbs
Yeah.

06:00.91
Mad Dog
Interesting.

06:00.70
Chibbs
Yeah. Yeah.

06:03.28
Mad Dog
That wouldn't, that's...

06:02.91
Chibbs
It'd be quite frightening seeing someone getting rid of Bane masks. like Sorry, I'm just having private conversations in public a lot, so I need to dress as Bane.

06:12.06
Bevo
Yeah.

06:13.73
Chibbs
Yeah.

06:14.31
Bevo

06:18.68
Chibbs
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Some of that sweet, sweet hush me money.

06:23.64
Chibbs
but got to We got lyrics. I don't think there's a lot, but um I assume it's all sort of what fruit and vegetable related or like massive corporation.

06:30.10
Mad Dog
Probably not, no.

06:38.23
Bevo
e e

06:40.03
Mad Dog
Yeah, true.

06:39.56
Chibbs
Do you think a Charlie XCX is more...

06:39.60
Bevo
who's the Who's the Apple CEO again? The

06:42.01
Chibbs
Is she more corporation or fruit?

06:44.42
Bevo
song sounds like an an ad.

06:47.12
Mad Dog
I think she's both.

06:46.69
Chibbs
Yeah, that's true. Yeah, that's true.

06:48.58
Mad Dog
yeah

06:48.86
Bevo
so Actually, i'm I'm so negative already.

06:52.25
Mad Dog
Yeah.

06:51.88
Chibbs
ah Look, I haven't given up on my theory that Sabrina Carpenter is AI.

06:51.75
Bevo
ah philip it gilbert yeah see I like...

06:53.36
Mad Dog
Try to open your mind, Yeah.

06:58.00
Chibbs
Like, I think that is still dead on.

07:00.07
Mad Dog
Yeah.

07:00.55
Bevo
I really like Sabrina Cohen. I think she's the best of the bunch.

07:02.19
Chibbs
um didn't say that it's not good. I'm just saying she's not real. But...

07:07.70
Mad Dog
I'm not sure if anyone under the age of 30 is real these days.

07:10.55
Bevo
yeah

07:12.21
Mad Dog
um I'm serious.

07:12.02
Chibbs
this This would have been if like I had to yeah if i had to die on the die on a hill for an AI character, like this should have been the one I went with.

07:13.48
Mad Dog
I don't...

07:14.81
Bevo
the onus of proof is on them

07:17.29
Mad Dog
Yeah.

07:23.31
Chibbs
like This is more...

07:26.02
Mad Dog
Yeah.

07:25.56
Chibbs
I think this is an easier sell to say this person is not is just a computer.

07:28.35
Mad Dog
Yes.

07:31.17
Chibbs
Yeah.

07:31.82
Mad Dog
But you're going with Sabrina.

07:32.94
Chibbs
I still think Sabrina Carpenter is not, is not.

07:35.26
Mad Dog
She may be AI. Yeah.

07:36.56
Chibbs
Yeah. I'm still pretty certain she's AI, but yeah, ah Charlie XCX could be there right with her.

07:43.32
Mad Dog
Yeah.

07:42.87
Chibbs
Who knows? Like they both could be AI, but as far as music goes, this is way more, way more AI than Sabrina Carpenter.

07:51.50
Mad Dog
Yeah.

07:51.61
Bevo
Mm-hmm.

07:52.68
Chibbs
Verse one. ah yeah And just keep in mind, someone sat with a pen and paper and wrote these down and went, um I'm done with the lyrics. I'll go and sing them now.

08:05.61
Chibbs
It says, verse one, I guess the apple don't fall far from the tree because I've been looking at you so long. Now I only see me. I want to throw the apple into the sky.

08:17.81
Chibbs
Feels like you never understand me. So I want to drive the airport. The airport. The airport. The airport. The airport.

08:28.24
Mad Dog
Good grief.

08:27.68
Bevo
I never, ever want to drive to the airport. I hate the airport, especially driving.

08:31.13
Mad Dog
No.

08:30.66
Chibbs
Nah. Nah. And not in some sort of, like, fruit-defying gravity rage.

08:39.06
Mad Dog
Some apple-throwing rage.

08:39.01
Bevo
ah Well, now i'm now I'm picturing the worm from the busy world of Richard s Scarry in his little Apple car.

08:40.78
Mad Dog
Yeah.

08:50.46
Mad Dog
Ha ha ha ha

08:54.63
Bevo
Do you know that worm's name is lowly worm?

08:58.38
Mad Dog
Lowly.

08:58.58
Bevo
Yeah.

08:59.46
Chibbs
Jesus. It's bad to bad the worse for that worm.

09:02.40
Bevo
Yeah.

09:03.29
Mad Dog
Hey.

09:03.90
Chibbs
um Yeah. She's just talking about throwing apples and driving to the airport. That's what you get for verse one.

09:10.26
Bevo
Well, okay. Let's, let's dissect the apple.

09:12.55
Chibbs
Yeah.

09:12.58
Bevo
Don't fall far from the tree is saying that you end up like your parents.

09:16.00
Chibbs
Sure.

09:17.64
Bevo
So she's turning into her parents.

09:20.40
Chibbs
What?

09:21.11
Mad Dog
Yeah.

09:20.74
Chibbs
So why does that make him want to throw it into the sky and drive to the airport?

09:24.79
Bevo
Well, I don't know, but I'm going to look up who her famous parents are because, you know, the theory about the old blue links on Wikipedia.

09:29.25
Chibbs
Okay, yeah, they must be.

09:34.41
Mad Dog
Nepo, Nepo baby.

09:37.25
Chibbs
be the only explanation.

09:40.12
Mad Dog
Yeah.

09:39.74
Bevo
You keep talking and I'll...

09:41.12
Chibbs
Well, you go into the airport, I imagine it's, she's like, maybe she's flying home to murder her parents or going somewhere, exotic location to pay for a hitman to take her parents out.

09:42.05
Mad Dog
Well, yeah.

09:54.69
Mad Dog
this is This is like the privileged way of running away from home. Like back in the 90s, you got cut with your parents in like, fuck you, I'm running away, I'm never coming back and you just go to the park.

12:53.62
Chibbs
Does it?

12:54.40
Mad Dog
Ah.

12:54.58
Bevo
Yeah, that's kind of the point, I think. But running away to a very expensive place is just like, go oh my God, that's privilege.

Mad Dog
Yeah.

13:03.87
Mad Dog
Yeah.

Yeah.

13:07.24
Chibbs
Yeah.

13:09.49
Mad Dog
yeah

13:09.42
Bevo
I heard she's having some regrets about that.

13:11.62
Chibbs
Is she?

13:12.12
Bevo
Yeah.

13:12.90
Mad Dog
Oh, is she having some sort of human like emotion, is she?

13:15.61
Bevo
I didn't read the article or anything, just that she' she's probably like, well, this was a mistake with all the feedback I'm getting about it.

13:17.43
Mad Dog
Okay.

13:20.17
Chibbs
so Yeah, it's just like, damn it, 10 years in a row of mistakes.

13:22.41
Mad Dog
Yeah.

13:24.51
Bevo
Yeah.

13:25.92
Mad Dog
Yeah. There's another one.

13:27.51
Chibbs
Maybe me Charlie XCX will be our next Katy Perry.

13:28.05
Mad Dog
Damn it. Yeah.

13:31.01
Bevo
Maybe. i i just don't know anything about her.

13:33.80
Chibbs
don't know. No, I don't know.

13:35.57
Mad Dog
Yeah.

13:36.87
Chibbs
ah The thing is, like, this Brat album is, I think it was, like, Rolling Stones, like, album of the year or something.

13:45.17
Bevo
Yeah, and it's been like re-released like five times or something.

13:47.84
Chibbs
Yeah. Like it's considered to be like a pop masterpiece.

13:50.35
Mad Dog
Has it?

13:51.47
Chibbs
I'm like, this is on it.

13:51.52
Bevo
She keeps putting it out like Brat, except it's different than Brat, but it's red instead of green.

13:58.00
Chibbs
So was it the, is this what Brat Summer was about?

13:58.80
Bevo
i don't know. Oh,

14:03.90
Bevo
yeah ah yeah, yeah, yeah.

14:04.73
Mad Dog
With Kamala Harris?

14:05.63
Chibbs
Kamala Harris was endorsed by a British pop star.

14:10.84
Mad Dog
She had she had a brat summer?

14:10.38
Bevo
Not indoors. Oh, yeah, I guess indoors. I don't know, actually. but She was just like hopping on the trend, I think, to to sort of appeal to younger people.

14:17.13
Chibbs
Oh, Well, that worked.

14:19.48
Mad Dog
Right.

14:19.96
Bevo
We probably should have some young people to chime in here, but we didn't think that far ahead, did we?

14:25.87
Mad Dog
a

14:25.50
Chibbs
um No, we definitely didn't.

14:27.89
Mad Dog
Millennials not understanding what's happening.

14:29.47
Chibbs
No.

14:31.28
Mad Dog
um Okay.

14:31.27
Chibbs
But, you know, um she doesn't like apples.

14:34.70
Mad Dog
The lyrics are written by ai

14:37.02
Chibbs
and They seem just, I don't know. like It's like she's trying to be more deep and thoughtful than what it actually comes out of being.

14:49.01
Chibbs
What happens if you, if apples don't, do they when they're bad?

14:55.83
Bevo
No, I guess you can get yellow and red and green apples depending on your breed of apple.

15:01.30
Mad Dog
Yeah, I prefer green.

15:02.23
Chibbs
But it's saying it's to sort of turn that, which implies it's going bad.

15:02.15
Bevo
Me too, yeah. i Yeah. Maybe it's the metaphor for her. um

15:11.67
Bevo
Maybe her dad's yellow and her mum's green or something. I don't know.

15:19.24
Mad Dog
She does say she knows there's a lot of nuances.

15:18.80
Chibbs
Yeah.

15:22.26
Chibbs
Yeah.

15:23.50
Mad Dog
So...

15:23.36
Chibbs
Do you think she's been on the racial slur database?

15:28.49
Mad Dog
And...

15:29.07
Bevo
Maybe not for green. What race is green?

15:30.91
Chibbs
No, but Apple's on there.

15:32.14
Mad Dog
Apple? Apple?

15:33.20
Chibbs
Yeah, it's on there.

Bevo
Is there? Is it? it

Chibbs
I'll let you look it up. I'm not going to say it out loud.

15:37.00
Bevo
Yeah, I'm not no putting that in my history again.

15:39.73
Chibbs
But yeah, it's on there. And it's on there. and if you And if you look it up on the database and then put this song in a whole different context, it is rough.

15:52.38
Mad Dog
Okay.

15:52.25
Chibbs
Real rough. Yeah.

15:54.51
Mad Dog
What about seeds? Is seeds on the...

Not only you go into the airport, now you've got to drive all night to get there.

18:00.46
Mad Dog
Jesus.

18:00.36
Bevo
Yeah.

18:09.17
Bevo

18:10.80
Chibbs

18:13.18
Bevo
We did, um, we did Perth to Darwin as a holiday and it was like, I would wake up in the morning and look at the map of Australia and go, ah don't know how we're going to do this in three weeks because we've just driven seven hours and barely did to the map.

18:16.78
Chibbs
Yeah, well, fuck, that's a long drive.

You've moved a blip.

18:27.75
Mad Dog
Yeah.

18:27.90
Chibbs
Yeah.

18:27.75
Bevo
And every every single day was like five to seven hours of driving and not to see something cool.

18:33.47
Chibbs
Yeah.

18:34.59
Bevo
It was just so you could sleep, so you could go do the next day and do the same thing.

18:36.49
Chibbs
Yeah.

18:39.13
Mad Dog
wow yeah that's a long way a lot along the coast no doubt yeah

18:38.82
Bevo
was ah was a slog.

18:40.08
Chibbs
What a holiday. Yeah.

18:41.69
Bevo
There were some nice parts, but yeah, it was a slog.

18:44.85
Chibbs
Yeah. That's a lot.

18:49.67
Bevo
ah Yeah, more or less. Yeah. there was one point There was one point where there was an option to go five to seven hours inland to see some rocks, but that meant that meant that was like a 14-hour round trip and we just went, no, we won't do that.

18:59.94
Mad Dog
oh yeah

19:01.72
Chibbs
Yeah.

19:03.15

Bevo
Yeah.

19:10.34
Chibbs
Rocks in the desert look like. There go you go. You all got it? All right.

19:13.00
Bevo

19:13.26
Chibbs
We're going to move on. um Verse three. arent Totally unnecessary.

19:20.75
Mad Dog
Mm-hmm.

19:20.52
Chibbs
but she's put one in here. I think the apple's rotten right to the core from all the things passed down from all the apples coming before. I split the apple down symmetrical lines and what I find is kind of scary.

19:37.30
Chibbs
Makes me want to drive. Drive, drive, drive. drive to Drive, drive, drive. I'm going to drive, drive, drive all night. I'm going to drive, going to drive all night.

19:48.05
Chibbs
Drive, drive, drive. to Drive, drive,

19:54.03
Mad Dog
Jesus.

19:54.29
Chibbs
yeah

19:54.90
Bevo
like See, here's the thing, right? I think the metaphor is great. Great metaphor. Like, good lyrical topic to sing about.

20:00.75
Chibbs
yeah

20:05.01
Mad Dog
The apple?

20:05.40
Bevo
But the driving thing just doesn't drive it home.

20:08.13
Chibbs
No, it really doesn't.

20:09.00
Mad Dog
Yeah.

20:09.71
Chibbs
They're two different songs.

20:09.62
Bevo
It's just... Yeah.

And I've also got this song called Drive. And they're like, we've only got one spot left on the album.

20:16.24
Bevo
Yeah.

20:19.95
Chibbs
Are you able to just mash them together somehow? It's like, well, but the apples and the driving have nothing to do each other. It's like, no one cares.

20:27.09
Bevo
Oh, she submitted the original lyrics and the producer's been like, can you make it a bit more transport-y?

20:28.02
Mad Dog
No.

20:33.46
Mad Dog
Yeah.

20:34.01
Chibbs
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

20:56.52
Mad Dog
This is the ultimate flight response.

20:58.74
Chibbs
Yeah, it is. Yeah.

20:59.91
Mad Dog
So she's got no fight or freeze. It's all flight.

21:03.34

23:10.80
Mad Dog
ah don't...

23:20.33
Bevo
Like I hate the Beatles memes. And one of the songs is like, it's like whenever I listen to this song, it sounds like this and it's Goofy from Disney just doing this funny, like floppy dance.

24:39.71
Chibbs
he's composed an opera with AI-generated lyrics. That's what they've got for him. So if he's already fucking with AI... You know, there's smoke.

24:53.85
Mad Dog
Absolutely.

24:53.51
Chibbs
There's smoke here. Yeah. So apparently Apple was teased during a live stream where Charlie ate an actual apple and refused to answer any fan questions.

Chibbs
We're good to go. it Again, peaked on TikTok before anything was even out. ah It's a TikTok generation.

I didn't read that, but I don't know. This was some information that came up here that said it apparently it sparked a 400 comment Reddit debate on the Reddit. um like theories behind it.

26:23.23
Chibbs
Is that a lot?

26:23.40
Bevo
Yeah. ah In one thread, I guess, but like overall, no

26:28.24
Chibbs
Okay. I didn't know if that was an impressive fact or not.

26:30.18
Bevo
And it maybe if it's one guy, two guys having a fight, then yeah.

26:33.09
Chibbs
Right, yeah, okay. And apparently the synth rif riff in it is a slowed down sample of a 2002 Nokia ringtone.

26:42.22
Mad Dog
Oh, Jesus.

26:42.86
Bevo
It does, yeah, ringtone music.

26:43.62
Mad Dog
Okay.

26:44.90
Chibbs
It really does seem like a ah like um this is made for people that weren't born and don't remember the late 90s, early 2000s techno pop star, like your steps or your, you know, that sort of thing that was just like,

26:55.34
Bevo
There is a bit of that throwback nostalgia. Yeah.

26:59.45
Mad Dog
Yeah.

27:01.73
Bevo
It sounds a little bit like um Can't Get You Out of My Head by Minogue.

27:06.88
Chibbs
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

27:07.50
Mad Dog
Yeah. Yep.

27:08.09
Bevo
That kind Yeah.

27:08.30
Chibbs
It's, yeah, like early 2000s pop music that's just basically trance music with a, yeah, Euro trance.

27:09.03
Mad Dog
It's that type of style. Yeah.

27:15.67
Bevo
Euro. utero

27:19.78
Bevo
yeah

27:20.22
Chibbs
Steps is the best scene. Is that 5, 6, 7, 8? Yeah,

27:23.59
Bevo
My boot's scootin', baby, and drivin', make a run, turn around the road.

27:24.63
Mad Dog
That's Steps. Is that her?

27:25.40
Chibbs
yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah

27:27.09
Mad Dog
Really? Oh, okay.

27:27.46
Chibbs
That sort of shit. Like I would imagine like that's the sort of shit that, yeah, that's the sort of thing.

27:31.34
Bevo
She, Charlie XCX, had that, I don't care, i love it.

27:36.45
Chibbs
Oh, the KFC ad.

27:37.51
Bevo
Yeah.

27:38.91
Mad Dog
is that her

27:38.42
Chibbs
Is that her? Oh,

27:39.24
Bevo
Apparently, it's not like she sings on it, but it's a different, like it's it's a band, but featuring her.

27:41.92
Mad Dog
like

27:43.31
Chibbs
it's like a DJ or something.

27:46.69
Mad Dog
oh

27:46.39
Chibbs
Okay.

27:47.26
Mad Dog
like okay

27:47.20
Chibbs
All right.

27:47.24
Bevo
Yeah.

27:50.25
Chibbs
Yeah, so it's produced by AG Cook and Easy Fun. um They...

27:54.05
Bevo
Why does AG Cook sound like one of the Wiggles something?

27:56.64
Chibbs
It does.

27:58.48
Mad Dog
A.G. Cook.

27:58.92
Chibbs
Yeah.

27:59.46
Bevo
stands for a good cook or something.

27:59.79
Chibbs
The whole thing is whipped together, apparently whipped together using a plugin called Fruit Smash is what all the synth stuff is. um And apparently it has over 200 vocal tracks in the chorus, but then they deleted half of them.

28:15.17
Bevo
Wow.

28:17.59
Chibbs
why would Why? The airport part?

28:20.63
Mad Dog
That's...

28:20.40
Bevo
Less is more.

28:22.61
Chibbs
Weird.

28:22.62
Bevo
I don't know.

28:23.44
Chibbs
And how's this this?

28:23.44
Bevo
Hmm.

28:24.40
Chibbs
This is, again, just stinks of no effort. The track was mixed on a plane with AirPods.

28:33.53
Mad Dog
Oh, Jesus.

28:34.50
Chibbs
Yeah.

28:35.82
Mad Dog
Makes Billie Eilish look like a workhorse.

28:35.56
Bevo
I'll just back back to, so she was also on that song Fancy by Iggy Azalea.

28:38.03
Chibbs
Yeah.

28:43.74
Chibbs
I did know that.

28:45.17
Bevo

28:55.16
Mad Dog
All right.

28:57.12
Chibbs
Uh, there is a video is there.

28:59.13
Bevo
ah Sure. That dog hit it.

29:03.51
Mad Dog

29:15.31
Bevo
That's me. I'm back.

29:17.38
Chibbs
He's back, reluctantly back.

29:17.31
Bevo
Doing the videos. Nah, it's fine. I just needed a break. um i So apparently there is a video, but I did the lyric video for the yeah summary for this one. So a, o hang on.

29:33.44
Bevo
Okay. A lyric video with more seizure warnings than an ice raid on Sesame Street.

29:41.74
Bevo
Cause they're very diverse. You see, know, I said deporting people for no reason just cause they're ethnic.

29:50.26
Chibbs
Yeah.

29:51.01
Mad Dog
Got it.

29:50.85
Bevo
Yeah. It's topical.

29:52.28
Chibbs
Cool.

29:53.09
Bevo
Yeah.

29:54.39
Mad Dog
It's got political here.

29:54.04
Chibbs
That's great.

29:54.22
Bevo
says

29:54.88
Chibbs
I didn't watch any videos to do with it. Were there any comments?

29:57.15
Bevo
it's not It's basically like flashing black and white text.

30:01.61
Chibbs
Great.

30:02.54
Bevo
And there is a seizure warning at the start of the video.

30:05.93
Chibbs
Cool.

30:06.52
Bevo
And, um,

30:09.32
Bevo
ah One of the comments is, I'm not epileptic, but I feel like I'm going to start violently shaking any second now.

30:10.35
Mad Dog
That's it?

30:15.82
Chibbs
That's good.

30:16.67
Bevo
Yep. um

30:18.86
Mad Dog
Did I have one?

30:20.54
Bevo
Brat and DTI summer low-key were the best summer we've ever had.

30:25.26

30:42.47
Chibbs
Are they KPIs?

30:42.64
Bevo
Yeah.

30:48.38
Bevo
I had a bit back in the day, like I can't remember what year, like 29, 2009 or something. Me and some friends decided that were going to have the best summer ever called the BSE and we just did whatever the fuck.

30:57.24
Chibbs
Uh-uh, good.

31:00.09
Bevo
And there was one time where some of us were at the bottom of this cliff and some us at the top and they wrote BSE and rocks on the beach so you could see it. And it really was the best summer ever.

31:11.19
Bevo
So I get it.

31:12.13
Mad Dog
it you You made it happen. You said you were going to do it and you did it.

31:14.77
Bevo

32:19.50
Mad Dog
Really?

32:20.08
Chibbs
Jesus.

32:22.40
Mad Dog
I don't understand you young people.

32:22.14
Bevo
um The last four songs are an encore, so you've got 18 in the main set.

32:25.55
Chibbs

Chibbs
I was fucking close.

32:52.09
Bevo
Not right in the middle, but pretty close to the middle.

32:56.03

Chibbs

34:09.53
Bevo
What? Okay. So it didn't chart in the charts at all.

Bevo
Yeah.

34:16.80
Mad Dog
Okay.

34:39.86
Bevo
What?

34:41.88
Mad Dog
I don't understand these people.

34:43.41
Chibbs
Hell.

34:43.91
Bevo
don't understand these people.

34:45.23
Chibbs
Toxic.

34:46.55
Bevo
Talks are great.

34:47.67
Chibbs
It's fucking great song that has hooks.

34:52.30
Chibbs
Yeah.

34:53.61
Mad Dog
Who are these people?

34:52.98
Bevo
Yeah.

34:54.09
Chibbs
It's Rolling Stone's fucked.

34:55.09
Bevo
I wonder what, do you guys ever go on Pitchfork?

34:55.73
Chibbs
Rolling Stone is so fucked.

34:58.17
Mad Dog
Yeah.

35:00.71
Chibbs
yeah Only if I end up on it for stuff for this.

35:01.42
Mad Dog
No.

35:05.19
Mad Dog
It sounds sexy.

35:05.23
Bevo
i think it's I can't like i remember if it's a joke or real, but Pitchfork is like, Pitchfork gives music um as a whole 6.8 out 10. Right. 7.5.

35:13.76
Chibbs
Yeah, fair enough.

35:15.99
Mad Dog
Okay.

35:15.94
Chibbs
that's probably it. um And it was used for and for the yeah Apple Vision Pro ad. Surprise, surprise.

35:23.25
Bevo
right

35:25.84
Mad Dog
Okay.

35:26.01
Chibbs
Yeah, yeah.

35:27.99
Mad Dog
Imagine that.

35:27.69
Chibbs
um All right.

35:29.61
Bevo
seven point five

35:42.30
Chibbs
but do you think CharlieXCX's estimated net worth in 2025 is, Mad Dog?

35:48.69
Mad Dog
Well, the fact that i I had no idea that she was even a popular artist.

35:53.98
Chibbs
Yeah, doing a lot of um corporate work, though. She's doing...

35:58.84
Mad Dog
What do you mean by corporate work?

35:59.53
Chibbs
Well, she's got KFC ads, she's got Apple ads, she's got like...

36:01.13
Bevo
Yeah, yeah.

36:02.68
Mad Dog
Oh, okay.

36:02.59
Bevo
I thought you mentioned playing those like seminars that they do.

36:03.84
Chibbs
She's...

36:05.49
Bevo
Yeah.

36:05.70
Chibbs
Oh, I'm sure she is, but I mean, it's like, it seems like she's not she's not one to put artistic integrity above, yeah, the payday.

36:16.51
Mad Dog
ah yeah Okay, so she could

36:17.57
Chibbs
Yeah.

36:19.69
Mad Dog
so based on my knowledge, she could be worth anywhere between $100,000 and $1,000,000.

36:27.23
Chibbs
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

36:29.50
Mad Dog
So I'm going to go with fucking haven't they?

36:33.13
Chibbs
Okay. Bebe?

36:34.86
Bevo
I was going to say 100 mil, but too close to Mad Dog, so I'm going to say 90 mil.

36:38.96
Chibbs
It's $14 million. Yeah.

36:41.50
Mad Dog
wow

36:40.90
Bevo
All right.

36:42.19
Chibbs
yeah

36:43.00
Mad Dog
times have changed for artists haven't they

36:44.61
Bevo
Oh, yeah.

36:45.11
Chibbs
Yeah.

36:45.66
Bevo
Absolutely.

36:46.03
Chibbs
Yeah. yeah um yeah Look.

36:49.43
Bevo
Pitchfork gave Bratt 8.6 out 10.

36:52.01
Chibbs
Yeah.

36:51.80
Bevo
out of ten

36:52.53
Chibbs
Fuck me. Like this might be different in a year from now because like, you know, she could just hit. They've got to put someone there, don't they?

37:03.09
Chibbs
Like they've got to pick a pop star. And if Taylor Swift isn't going to release any albums, then I don't think Taylor Swift's last album did any good. So, like, you know, there has to be someone else coming through. Plus, Taylor Swift's getting old.

37:19.57
Chibbs
Although this chick's old.

37:19.57
Bevo
Yeah. ah The thing about Taylor Swift, though, is I don't know if you ever go to like JB Hi-Fi.

37:22.31
Mad Dog
She's not that old.

37:24.78
Bevo
I think like it's like Best Buy in America. There's a Taylor Swift section for the vinyl.

37:29.76
Chibbs
Yeah.

37:31.52
Mad Dog
There's a whole section.

37:30.82
Bevo
Like, there's like a rack for Taylor Swift.

37:31.40
Chibbs
Yeah, I know. Yeah, it's... I'm not saying she's dropped off, but I'm saying they... I don't know if they'd be to, like, you know, that that train can just fucking keep running for another 10 years.

37:44.33
Mad Dog
Yeah, yeah.

37:44.73
Chibbs
Yeah. It's going to be your Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter's, you know.

37:49.58
Mad Dog
Every dog has its day.

37:48.96
Bevo
nipping at her heels. We're at Chapel Roan.

37:51.03
Chibbs
Yeah.

37:51.59
Mad Dog
um

37:53.59
Chibbs
Yeah.

37:54.25
Mad Dog
Yeah, Chapsie.

37:54.76
Chibbs
Yeah. Chaps, get up there.

37:55.38
Bevo
Chapsy, that's what we call it.

37:56.15
Chibbs
Yeah. Yeah.

37:57.91
Mad Dog
Chapsie.

37:58.98
Bevo
Chapo.

37:59.69
Chibbs
So, yeah, maybe she won't. don't Maybe she won't.

38:02.98
Bevo
um and I reckon she'll kind of, she'll go down like your Michael Jackson-y kind of like, even if the, even if the,

38:03.36
Chibbs
But...

38:10.46
Chibbs
What, prescribed sleep medicine that's too strong?

38:12.73
Bevo
yeah

38:13.71
Mad Dog
And molesting children.

38:13.86
Bevo
yeah yeah, even if the hip,

38:16.34
Chibbs
A homosexual pedophile? Is that what you're saying?

38:19.09
Bevo
Even if the hits aren't coming, I feel like she'll have that kind of like the legacy thing for the rest of her life.

38:19.34
Chibbs
so

38:26.16
Mad Dog
yeah.

38:26.25
Bevo
That's my theory.

38:27.26
Mad Dog
hundred percent

38:26.86
Bevo
and

38:27.11
Chibbs
I'm predicting a Katy Perry downfall.

38:27.90
Mad Dog
100%. Really?

38:31.68
Bevo
don't know. I don't see it. I don't see it.

38:34.50
Mad Dog
You don't see a blasting into space for 10 minutes?

38:35.02
Bevo
feel like Katy Perry's got the hubris.

38:37.22
Mad Dog
Yeah.

38:37.78
Bevo
with Taylor Swift doesn't.

38:40.42
Chibbs
I'm not saying Taylor Swift, I'm talking about fucking this chick.

38:40.44
Bevo
the over Oh, yeah.

38:43.51
Chibbs
I'm

38:44.21
Bevo
Okay. Yeah. No. ah I've already already he forgotten about it.

38:46.99
Mad Dog
Oh, she'll be in space by the end of the year.

38:48.38
Chibbs
saying Charlie XCX will be the next one in space.

38:51.01
Mad Dog
yeah Yeah.

38:52.51
Chibbs
that That's how you know you're having a brat summer.

38:53.88
Mad Dog
that's That's how you know.

38:53.59
Bevo
How do you at your top that summer?

38:57.07
