Summary

Gabriels are the musical trio who are taking the world by storm, with Elton John describing their first single as one of the best things he’s heard in 10 years. Today we are delighted to be joined by lead singer Jacob Lusk, whom you will have seen on stage with Elton himself during his headline set at Glastonbury. Jacob was born for stardom and it was a pleasure to chat with him about everything from growing up in Compton, his relationship with the church, why he chooses not to label his sexuality, and his brush with jail in order to secure his place on US TV show American Idol. Prepare to be blown away by this incredible chat!

0:00.0	Hello listeners, this episode of Homo sapiens is brought to you by WhatsApp from Meta.
0:05.9	Now then, making this podcast is a lot of fun and WhatsApp is, I gotta say, an integral part of that.
0:11.7	I'm constantly gassing on there, I do love a voice note, but I plan episodes, I message guests,
0:16.9	I chat with our producer. It's where it's all happening. It's also the place I go when
0:21.4	something big happens, no matter what it is, whether it's a tronym, I want to celebrate with
0:25.6	friends like, I don't know, getting a WhatsApp advert on your podcast or something not so good,
0:30.7	like the usual thing where I'm in a, you know, some important dinner and I managed to pour
0:34.2	food down myself or something equally calamitous. WhatsApp is where I head in all of these scenarios.
0:40.5	What makes me feel comfortable in doing that is that WhatsApp provides multiple built-in layers of
0:44.8	protection, so that I know that I never have to depend on only one defense when it comes to personal
0:50.5	privacy. They actually have some new features people to help with this, like chat lock,
0:56.0	cuck, I have a mental little sound to go with it. This adds an extra layer of protection
1:01.0	for chats from anyone who has physical access to your device. EG, maybe it's my one year old,
1:06.5	who grabs any phone within a 25 meter radius and somehow accesses all sorts. So it's very useful
1:13.2	for me. I feel safe connecting on WhatsApp as I know that nobody, not even WhatsApp can read my
1:18.5	messages. WhatsApp message privately with multiple layers of protection.
1:29.6	I gotta tell you, it's a sad thing to say, but these little white people change my little line.
1:34.8	This being honest, the little white people change my life. So back to the original question.
1:38.9	Right, the sun is out, so I'm getting the cushions out of the shed because I'm going to bloody
1:50.0	make the most of this little moment of sunshine we're having. Let me tell you, are you all
1:54.0	managing to enjoy the sun at all? Send us your pics, I want to see you sunbathing, I want to see
2:00.8	you enjoying the sunshine, fronting with your friends. Tell me what's up this summer homo sapiens
