Awsten Knight Propaganda

The speaker is excited to start their podcast and hopes it won't be their last. They consider starting a podcast to document their life updates once they move to Japan. They talk about their history with the band Waterparks and how they started listening to their music in 2020. They share their surprise at finding Waterparks songs in their Spotify top songs of 2020 and 2021, but none in 2023. They mention seeing an ad for a Waterparks concert and initially not paying much attention to it. However, after seeing the ad again, they decide to buy tickets and attend the show. Welcome to the first episode! Hello and welcome and thank you for joining me on my podcast journey! This is my very first episode, maybe my last. We'll see how it goes, I guess. I'm so excited! I'm so excited! This is like me blabbing on my close friend's story, except probably even closer friends, because I don't think everybody on my close friends is going to listen. And if you are listening, hi! Thank you! Thank you for putting up with me, because I can barely put up with me myself. So, that's really exciting. Anyway, we're here. First episode, hopefully not the last. I say that because I was thinking about it, and I think having a silly little podcast to do once I move to Japan to give everyone life updates and keep everyone up on what I'm doing sounds really fun. Even if nobody listens, I think it could be really fun documentation, even for myself. So, I might do that. I might just keep the vibes going. Let me move my mic back. I feel like it's too close, and I feel like maybe you guys are getting ASMR wishes, not what I want. So let me move it. I might cut that. I might cut that, because what was that? Anyway, hopefully this is better. Okay, moving on. Today's episode, I got a couple of suggestions about topics, but nothing got more suggestions than, believe it or not, Austin Knight. Yay! Which is fine, because I'm already talking y'all's ear off about Austin Knight for free on my story. This is also free, but like, you don't have to listen to this. If you view my story, it's kind of like a jump scare, like you're viewing it, and then you're like, ah, she's talking about Austin Knight. But at least with it, you know that I'm talking about Austin Knight, because I've already thought up a couple title names. So we'll see, but it will be in the title. Austin Knight, where to begin? I took some notes. That sounds so, like, weird and professional. But I took some notes about some things that I want to go over. So I guess we can start. I'll just deep dive into it. I don't know how this works. I'll start, let's do, let's start with my history with water parks. So I started listening to water parks in 2020. I found a couple songs in my, like, spring, I think it was February, February 2020 playlist, when I used to do monthly playlists. When I was very, like, I want to discover new music. I want to be cool and ingy and listen to music that nobody knows about. Given water parks, obviously, was already, like, picking up speed by then with their albums. Their album that came out just before I started listening to them was their third album, Fandom. But yeah, Spotify, what I think happened is that I was listening and looking for new music, and Spotify just recommended me water parks. Because I don't remember, I don't remember where I first heard those songs that I have in those playlists. I don't remember where I first heard them. So I can't confirm whether or not I, like, looked it up and then added to that playlist. I did, I did, I did request an export of my Spotify lifetime data so I can find out. Because I want to know, like, how did this happen? Where did this rabbit hole begin? So I'm waiting to see. But yeah, my theory is, my theory is that Spotify rotation just threw it at me. Just threw it at me, and that's where we are. That's where we are. Sorry, I need to get back on topic. So, yeah, I started listening to them in 2020 after their album Fandom came out, which their album came out, I believe, like November 2019. The last quarter of 2019 for sure. So it had been a couple months, the album was fairly new. I guess maybe that's why it was suggested to me, maybe? Because it was newer? I don't know. Anyway, started listening in 2020. I have a couple of their songs, like, littered in my playlist from that year. And then I went back today and I checked my Spotify top songs from, you know, it gives you, like, your 2020 top songs, your 2021 top songs. And I found some interesting things. So in 2020 and 2021, one of their songs from that album Fandom was in my top songs both times, so my top 100. But it was only one song, which is really funny to me because that specific song that I'm not going to quote because I don't want you guys to listen to it. Not because I'm gatekeeping it, I just... Anyway. That wasn't the song that I felt like I had listened to the most, which is kind of strange. So I was a little surprised by that. Then, 2022. Oh, there's so many songs in my top 100. A good handful from their album Fandom. And then, 2023. This one's going to shock you guys. But there were no Waterpark songs in my top 100 this past year, 2023. I was very surprised. Honestly, I was really shocked. I was like, huh? What do you mean? It doesn't make any sense. But I have boiled it down to the fact that I think Spotify... All that data that they extract for your Spotify wrapped information and stats, they only track from January until either October or November. And I think when I picked up speed listening to them within this last year, I believe it was most likely in that November, December time range. So it's the only reason I can think of. Makes some sense. So there's that. I feel like I've been blabbing and not really even getting to the point. Point is, me and Waterparks, since 2020, my top songs had a couple of Waterpark songs in them. But I never really went out of my way to go through their discography and listen to albums in full or listen to their EPs. I didn't really listen to them at all. Other than those three songs that Spotify had given me and I just kept listening to those over and over again. And then occasionally I'd search up Waterparks on Spotify and then put them on Shuffle. Of course, obviously it was going to give me their top songs at the time. So I never really got more than that. I didn't follow them on Instagram. I never got Waterparks things in my feed. That was kind of it. I was not really involved. And I didn't look into any of their stuff until recently. Even in 2021, I think they dropped their fourth album called Greatest Hits. And I didn't even know that happened. I was listening to them at the time. But not enough to even know that they had dropped a brand new album. So this is how disconnected I was from them other than just those handfuls of songs. Now look at me though. Look at me now though. Invested. Because really, funny, I talked about this a little bit on my story. But I was so uninvolved with Waterparks that the fact that they got me to come to their show somehow feels like not fate. I don't really believe in fate. But if something was to be fate, I feel like it was this. Because I didn't follow them on any socials. I never really interacted with Waterparks posts on the internet. I wouldn't be able to stay off the top of my head ever seeing Waterparks things in my feed. So I'm not sure how that came up. But I was scrolling through Instagram one day. And I see a sponsored ad from the Waterparks account. And it's Austin Knight. And he's like, hey, what's up LA? We're playing a show on April 6th at the Hollywood Palladium. There's still tickets left. You should buy them. Something like that. I don't remember what the words were. And I searched all over the internet to try to find the ad. But I can't find it for some reason. I'm not sure where it went. But I want to see it again. So anyway, I get the ad. And I kind of just go, whatever. Like, I don't really listen to Waterparks that much. Which is not true because at the time, at this point, this was in February maybe? And I was already listening to them more consistently than I had over the last four years that I'd even been listening to them at all. So starting in November and December, I was really listening to them a lot more. Their songs were coming into my rotation. It started picking up to the point where I'd type in Waterparks and Spotify to go out of my way to listen to them. Still hadn't gone through their entire discography one by one. But I was going more so out of my way to listen to them more recently. Maybe that's why. Maybe that's why. Maybe Spotify and Instagram are just linked up and that's why I got that ad. But yeah, I started listening to them more. They also dropped an album. 2023. It's been a year now! Yay! I celebrate like I was there. Like I had a clue. They dropped a new album. Their newest album. Their fifth album, Intellectual Property. A year ago. A little... It's been like a year and a week or two or something. It's been a year basically. Again, I was unaware that they had even dropped a new album. I was so disconnected. I didn't even know. But I saw new songs in their Spotify. Their top played or most popular Spotify songs that come up when you search a band or an artist. So I was listening to those. I get the ad. I'm like whatever. I don't really like Waterparks that much. Not true. So I ignore it. I keep scrolling. I don't remember how much time passed. Maybe a week or two. I get the ad again! I get the ad again! And I watch it again. And I think about it for a second. I stop. I close Instagram. I open up Google. I click. I type in. I click search bar. I type in Waterparks Tickets LA. Open up Ticketmaster. There they are. Hollywood Palladium. Still tickets available. $50. I'm like hmm. Then I post it on my story. I don't know if any of you remember. Some of you might remember. Stephanie for sure remembers. Hi staff if you're listening. She told me a couple days later that... She asked me. She said, did you find somebody to go to that concert with you? By this time I had. I said yes. She's like okay good. I was going to say I'll go with you. I'll go with you, right? She said she listens to... She opens Spotify and listens to one of their top songs. I was like yeah, no. Understandable. Me and her have very different music tastes. They overlap a little bit with Joshua Bassett and Olivia Rodrigo. Other than that, we have very different music tastes. Which is funny. Yeah, so I see the tickets. I'm thinking about it. I post on my story. I say hey, does anybody want to go to water parks with me? Please say no because I really shouldn't. No, talk me out of it, right? Nobody responds obviously. Which I knew. I know that nobody on my close friends really listens to them. So I was kind of shooting in the dark there. I don't even know why I posted. I wasn't expecting an answer. And I'm thinking, I'm racking my brain. I'm racking my brain because if I can't find anybody to go with me, I'm not going by myself. Not to the Hollywood Palladium. I'm not going by myself to this concert. But at this point, I'm kind of... I'm denying it, but I really want to go. I really want to go. So I'm racking my brain thinking about who might like this stupid band. So I can go to their show. And I can't think of anybody. I can't think of anybody. And I had the biggest brain moment ever. And I go, you know what? I'm going to go to Spotify. Not Spotify. I'm going to go to water parks Instagram account. I'm going to open it up. I'm going to check who's following them. Who do I know? Who do I follow that also follows them? Because you know Instagram will show you that. And I open it up, and I see my friend's name. I see one of my friends from like elementary school. We've known each other. She probably won't listen to this because she's busy all the time. This is the same friend I shouted out in my story a couple days ago, if anybody remembers, where I was like, my friend's not going to see this because she's always busy, because she's at art school. Which is understandable. Which is understandable, so I'm not expecting her to listen. But my friend Jade, who I'm now bonded to because of water parks. So I see that Jade is following. Sorry to name drop you also. Maybe I should bleep this out. Anyway, I'm already halfway through the story. Okay. So I see my friend's name. I'm like, oh. So I open up my text, and I text her. I text her. I'm like, hey. A couple days go by. No response. So I'm like, okay, maybe if I text again, maybe she missed it. You know, like just me saying hey, that could be easily ignored, easily passed. So I text her again, and I go, do you want to see water parks with me? I don't get a response. I'm like, what? Okay, that's fine. And the last couple times I have tried to text Jade about different things, she has not answered my text. But when I message her on Discord, I get an answer. I get an answer way faster. So I open up Discord, and I'm like, hey, I don't know if you saw my text, but, like, I kind of want to see water parks. And she responded. It was on the same day. She was like, oh, my God, hi. Like, something was happening with her phone where she didn't have, like, phone connection at the time, which is why she wasn't getting my text. So I'm glad I was like, okay, let me message them on Discord. So I message her on Discord. She says yes, and she tells me that she was actually supposed to go to their album tour last year. Their album was called – is called, was, hello. Their album is called Intellectual Property, their most recent album, and last year they toured for this album, and they called it the property tour. So she's like, yeah, I was actually supposed to go, like, with some friends to the property tour last year, but it didn't work out for whatever reason, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, dude? So yes? Because I kind of want to go. And then we discussed, like, how much tickets would be, if we'd be available that day, the details, you know. And it worked out, and we bought tickets I think later that day or the next day maybe, but we bought tickets. And then we saw water parks, and it was so fun. I had so much fun. I'm not even – see, I haven't even – it's been – how long has it been? It's been 20 minutes, and I've just been talking about water parks. I haven't even done a deep dive into Austin Night. Am I going to have to do a part two because there's, like, so many notes I have? Maybe not. I just talk way too much. I just talk way too much. The story's going on longer than it should have, maybe. Maybe I'll cut some bits out. It's going to have, like, really weird cuts. It's going to be, like, mid-sentence, and there's going to – it's going to cut – it's just going to cut from where I decided to cut myself off so that I stop blabbing. Anyway. That's just going to be me the whole podcast going blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Anyway. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Anyway. Yeah, that's my point. Anyway. So anyway. Yeah, so that's how I ended up seeing water parks despite not having really listened to them or been deeply involved in their fandom, I guess, or their online spaces. Yeah, before the concert, I literally wasn't even following them. I wasn't following them – I wasn't following the water parks account on Instagram. I wasn't even following Austin Knight. I knew of him. I knew of him because he name-drops himself in one of the songs that I had listened to, that I'd been listening to since 2020. And I remember, like, when I heard it the first time and he says his name, I'm like, who is that? And I realized, oh, he's talking about himself. So I knew of Austin Knight, and I'd seen pictures of him before. So I – he's, like, recognizable to me, I guess, even before this. Like, if somebody showed me a picture, I'd be like, oh yeah, that's Austin Knight. But he was just some guy. He was just some guy. Before this concert, he was just some guy. And then, the show's over, and I walk out the Palladium doors, and my life has been changed. My life has been changed. Basically, I'm listening to Waterparks all the time. Like, way more than I was before, which I don't even know if that's really possible. And I come out of that show, and me and Jade are in the car discussing the concert, the show, right? And I don't remember – I don't remember what she said. Oh, you know what? I do remember. She posted one of his pictures onto her story, and she said, why is that photo so hot? And I was like, what? And I looked at it, and I was like, oh, wait a minute. I was like, wait. Hold on. I'm like, you know what? You're so right. You're so right. And then, I'm looking at my – I think even during the show, I remember having this thought. I was – I took a break from recording songs. I try really hard not to record songs and just live in the moment, unless it's a song that is really important to me that I know I'll want to listen back to. So, I do have a couple of full song recordings. Otherwise, it's just snippets. I was mostly trying to really enjoy the moment. But I took a break from recording, and I took a bunch of pictures of Austin. When I was taking them, I was like, oh, why is he so cute? Why is he so cute, actually? And then, when she said that, I was like, oh, so it's not just me? Like, I don't have to keep this thing – an embarrassing little secret? So, I was like, yeah, you know what? You're right. He is. He is fine. And then, I spiraled. Yeah, and then, I spiraled after that. I was like, oh, my God. Why? Why am I in love with this man? All of a sudden. That's how it started. But, yeah, it's kind of funny that, before that show, he really was just some guy to me. He was just some guy. He's just a dude. He's just a dude with a weird hair color all the time. And now, I'm like, now I have his post notifications on. Sorry, that was really loud. I have his post notifications on. I think, like, after the show, I opened up Instagram, and I was like, follow. Because I wasn't following him before. Then, I turned on his post notifications. It was that fast, from the beginning of the show to the end. What, a, like, 90-minute set? Yeah, that's all it took. All it took was 90 minutes of watching that man on stage, singing, talking to the crowd, doing, like, a little bit absurd things, and I was done for. I was done for. But what can I say? And you know what? It's funny. It's not really funny, but I used to always do this. When I was in, like, middle school, maybe, every time that I found a new band that I liked, especially if he was white, I'd be like, hello? That's so fun. I had a crush on every white guy that was in a band that I liked. And then I didn't for a long time. Then I moved on to, like, actors, and then Shawn Mendes, obviously. And then more recently, I've been telling people, like, you know what? My taste has changed. I've matured. Because I, like, I feel like my type is Asians now. Like, they just seem to be more attractive to me, typically, than white guys now. Hey, guess what? Off the night ruined it. Off the night ruined it. I'm back where I started. I relapsed. I relapsed. I'm back where I started, liking white guys in bands that I like. And I just, I don't think that's fair. I don't think that's fair. I'm happy. I think. It's fun. It's, like, it's fun to be distracted with a silly little crush that you have on a musician or an actor or something. And I haven't had that. Excitement sounds, like, weird. Excitement sounds, like, weird and, like, codependent. Or not codependent. Parasocial is what I was thinking. It's, like, fun. We're just having fun. I haven't had that kind of, like, little crush on a celebrity since Tom Holland, and that was so fun. I had the best time. I have, like, really, really great memories of that period of my life. And I still kind of have a crush on Tom Holland. And Shawn Mendes, obviously. But it's, like, fun. It really is girlhood to just have a silly little crush on someone you can never have, I guess. That sounds really sad. But, yeah, like, a celebrity. It's just fun. It's fun. I'm just a girl. I'm just a girl. It's what we do. So, yeah, I have a big, fat, ugly crush on Austin right now. And, yeah, that's kind of the timeline. We're caught up now. There's some other things I want to talk about, which is fine, because we're at the almost 30-minute mark. I've been yapping for 30 minutes? That's crazy. And I'm going to have to go back and edit this and listen to myself talk for an hour, maybe. Probably not an hour. I say that, but I could definitely keep talking for an hour. Not another hour. Another 30 minutes. Hopefully 45 is enough. There are some other things I wanted to cover, but that's the main, like, timeline. Yesterday, when I asked about topics, some people gave me some good things to talk about. I might just post those on my story, or maybe keep them to myself. But there's different things. The blue Lexus, for example, if anybody saw that. Basically, there's not really a story to that. It's just the fact that Austin Knight has a blue Lexus, which sounds kind of creepy. Like, why do I know that? It's not my fault. It's not my fault. I wasn't searching for that information. Why did I look up on Twitter? Oh, my gosh. I don't remember. Oh! I do remember. I lied. I saw a tweet. I saw a tweet, like, a week ago, maybe now? Yeah, maybe like a week ago. I saw a tweet, and it was like, of course, Austin Knight has a blue Lexus. Like, what? And I see a tweet of him from, like, I think, yeah, like, 2019? A tweet of him in front of a blue Lexus. And he's like, got a brand new car. Like, don't ever let anybody tell you that you can't make money off of your art. Something, something, something. That's unrelated. But, yeah, he drives a blue Lexus, which seems like something you don't want to put on the Internet. Right? Because it's like, if I owned a white Prius, or if he said he owned a white Prius, whatever, there's white Priuses everywhere. I see, like, 20 white Priuses every day. Not recognizable. But I feel like a blue Lexus is a little more recognizable. So, maybe not the wisest choice, but, you know, blue Lexus. Somebody else said something about his rings. He has some really funky rings. They're like eyes. They're like eyeballs. Not real eyeballs, obviously. But they're like eye rings. They look a little too realistic. They're kind of scary. And then he has a skull ring. But the eye sockets are stars, which is really cool. And I kind of want it. I kind of want it. But they're so expensive. So, maybe not. I'm going to go down Melrose and see if the store that they're from has them in stock so I can try it on. Because if I like it, I might buy it. I might buy it if I like it. But I'm also going to be realistic. I'm not going to buy it just because he has this ring also. So, like, that's why I want to try it on. So, if I try it on, I'm like, wow, this is kind of ugly. I won't buy it. I'm going to try to be weird. I guess it is a little weird. But, you know, I just want to look cool. They're cool rings, okay? They're cool rings. Even if I saw, even if I, honestly, really, I'm being so serious right now. I'm not just saying this to, like, make me sound less creepy. If I had seen this ring on anybody else, I still would have been like, yo, that's kind of sick. I don't want that ring. But we'll see. I might not get it. Who knows? I'll have to try it on. What else? Let's kind of, those are the two things that people asked about yesterday in my story questions. So, those are the two things. Oh, there was something I was going to post on my story. I was going to rant on my story. I did post, like, a short thing saying I realized something about a song, but I'd talk about it on here. So, that's what I'm going to do. I'm listening to this song. It's called Dream Boy from their fandom album, 2019. Maybe in my top five Waterpark songs. It's so good. I love it. I was listening to it on my way home, and I realized something about a line. I've been listening to this song for four-ish years now, and I'm just understanding what this line meant. So, maybe I'm just dumb. Honestly, maybe. Whoever's listening to this, let me know if that makes sense. Maybe I can play the snippet. I can play the snippet. I was going to sing it for you guys, but maybe my confusion will make more sense if you hear him sing it. Hold on. I may not make you guys deaf. Hold on. Okay. Where is it? Okay. Okay. Ready? Okay. So, that last line, right? He says, custom made your beloved getaway. I'm your favorite holiday. You'll never be alone with me. At first, I thought he was saying you'll never be in love with me. Which, to me, made sense with the theme of the song, because the song is about fan expectations and the kind of person that fans typically expect him to be, or this version of him that the fandom has made up in their mind, but it's not really him. So, to me, this line made sense, because it's like, oh, you're never going to be in love with me, because you don't really know the real me, so whatever I do is not really going to make you ever happy if it doesn't match up to the version of myself that you guys have created in your heads. So, that's what I thought it said. Up until, like, a month ago, maybe, I was like, oh, it says you'll never be alone with me. I'm thinking about that, and I'm like, what does that mean? What does being alone with a person mean? I'm confused. I'm listening to it again today in the car, and I have that same thought. I'm like, I still don't know what that means. And then I realized, I realized that what he's saying is, you'll never be alone, comma, with me. As in, as long as you're with me, you'll never be alone. And I feel so dumb. Like, I feel like maybe I should have gotten that sooner. Did that, like, check out for any of you guys? Am I just slow? I feel like that comma was not, or that, yeah, that punctuation was not emphasized enough, not emphasized, enunciated enough for me to understand what he was saying. I guess that's kind of how songwriting works. Not songwriting, but, like, singing works. Sometimes you have to sacrifice punctuation or, I guess, audible punctuation for the sake of matching the beat of the song, so maybe that's why. But even on the official lyrics, there's no comma there. But there should be a comma, right? Because that's the only way that line makes sense to me. So I don't know if the intention was that, or the intention was the first thing I thought about, like, being alone with the person. That doesn't make any sense. So I'm thinking there has to be a comma there, and there just isn't in the official lyrics, for whatever reason. But yeah, I had this thought, and I was like, are you joking right now? I've been listening to this song for so long, and I'm barely understanding what that line meant, or what he was even saying. But now I know. So, that's crazy. I've been really... I've been looking up a lot of the lyrics lately. So, like, new songs that I have just recently started listening to, and older songs of theirs that I had been listening to. Now when I hear a song, I'll look up the lyrics. And I'm paying attention more to what he's saying. And they're sometimes so smart. And I'm not even just saying that, because obviously we all know I have a crush on him. No, I just like these songs, I'm like, wow, what? These connections, and these thoughts, and these meanings, and the way that he puts these ideas into a word sometimes is just, like, baffling. And really cool. I actually had a conversation about it earlier with my folder. I sent the song... I sent the song... I think See You In The Future was the song I sent. And there's a line in the... I guess the bridge, technically? Where he has this line, and he's basically saying, like... What the hell, Elon Musk? Where's my flying truck? I gave you $100, so where's my truck? It never showed up. Which sounds really weird and crazy. It's like, what are you talking about? What are you saying? And so I sent the song, and I was kind of talking about how first listen, or even surface level, these songs sound so goofy. And kind of cringey, I guess? But then there's always a deeper meaning to it. And the response that he gave me was... Let's see. Hold on. Oh yeah, so I had quoted that line from the song about Elon Musk, and I said, that's so stupid. And the response that he gave me was, Intended silliness with depth of disappointment or something emotionally tangible and relatable. And I was kind of baffled. Because yesterday... I think I posted this on my story. I don't know if I deleted it out of embarrassment, but... Maybe I did. Hold on. Hello? Yeah, I did. Whoops. I was looking through the lyrics of that song, and on Genius Lyrics, they quoted an explanation that Austin gave about that line in the song. Basically him saying, that line is put there to represent reactions to existential problems. And even if it seems like something that's kind of silly and not important, the way that it makes you react and feel is still just as valid as true, bigger problems. So they are obviously not equal issues, but they can carry the same weight on you. Which is basically what my dad said to me, but in a way less complicated way. And I was kind of baffled because I was like, that's literally how Austin explained it. That's literally what he said. And I was like, man, I hate smart people. Because I never got that. I never got that from that line. I was just like, oh, it's silly. It's a silly line. It's just a silly line about flying trucks and not liking Elon Musk because he sucks. No, guess what? Guess what? It served a purpose. So yeah, I was like a little baffled. I was like, oh my god. I hate smart people. That's crazy. It's almost like, obviously not word for word what Austin said, but the idea is absolutely the same. I just, yeah, I don't understand how. How did we get to that conclusion? I don't know. It's really cool. I've been really enjoying listening to the songs and actually paying attention to the lyrics and kind of dissecting what's going on. That's been really fun. Wow, we're at 40 minutes. Dude, that's crazy. At the start of this, I was in the car thinking about stuff I wanted to talk about. I still have stuff on this list that I could talk about. I have a couple of things. I guess maybe I can talk about this next time. By next time, I mean probably I'll just keep talking about it right now, but split it up into another episode so you guys aren't listening to an hour and a half of me talking. Then I'll just drop it. I'll drop it like a true podcaster and drop it in weekly increments. I'll drop the new one next week. But yeah, I have a couple of things. We already went over my history with Waterparks, lyricism, Austin Knight being really wise, me having a fat crush on him. But I have other stuff. I still have a lot of things. I have some stuff in my notes maybe I'll tease for next time. These have no context. They're kind of vague. One of my notes is Stupid For You, which is the name of one of their songs, which I have a funny story about. Yeah, I guess it's kind of funny. It's funny now. Stupid For You. Favorite Austin hair color. We can talk about more silly things instead of me trying to sound cool and being like, oh yeah, lyrics. Lyrics are so cool. I just love listening to music and listening to the deep meanings of songs. Anyway, whatever. Yeah, so we have Stupid For You, favorite hair color, Closer Breakdown. Not the Closer Breakdown. Oh man. Closer Breakdown, unreleased songs, Japan tour, Fruit Roll-Ups with two question marks, and Heterochromia. So yeah, I guess I'll leave that all for next time. This is crazy. I really can't believe I made it to 45 minutes. This is so fun. This is fun. I really genuinely thought it was going to be hard talking to myself for 45 minutes, but I guess not. I don't know what that says about me. Anyway, thanks for tuning in, and hopefully you'll tune in next week. Hopefully you'll tune in next week and not be annoyed with me. I can't promise that I won't talk about waterparks again past next week's episode, but I can say I'll probably be talking about them less. So if you're sick and tired of me talking about Austinite and talking about waterparks, maybe... You're probably not even here anymore, actually. You probably haven't even gotten this far if you're really sick of me. But if you are for whatever reason, sorry, but also thank you. And yeah, maybe don't listen until the third episode. If that's not your vibe. So yeah, thanks so much for tuning in. And I really appreciate everybody who has been supportive and silly and nice about my kind of delusion about Austinite. It's fun to post about it and just be silly for once. Because my life this last year has been so bad. It's been so bad. So it's fun to just be silly on Instagram. And I thank everybody who's been really nice and supportive about it. So yeah, that's all for today. I'll see you all next time. Thank you so much again. I know I said thank you like three times already. But thank you so much for joining and I will see you guys next week.
