| 0:09.5 | Welcome to Summer in New York City. |
| 0:11.2 | How are you doing so far? |
| 0:12.6 | I'm honestly having an amazing time. |
| 0:14.7 | I love it. |
| 0:15.5 | I, like, had a drink in the park yesterday, in the heat, been walking around. |
| 0:19.1 | I'm making the most of it. |
| 0:20.1 | I really am. |
| 0:21.0 | And New York City, I've lived here for, what, 40 years or whatever, it has a different smell, a different odor, but even with the smell of, you know, that. Hot trash. I know, it's a hot trash. It's a hot trash. He really warms up the garbage. You notice all the food trucks? There's a smell of all the food trucks. A little urine thrown in there and you're good to go. You gotta love it. You gotta love it. |
| 0:40.2 | I saw this tweet the food trucks. A little urine thrown in there and you're good to go. |
| 0:39.3 | You gotta love it. I saw this tweet the other day. It was like, stop saying New York smells like piss and start saying that your piss smells like the best city in the world. Yeah! I love that. That's a really good way to look at it. I need a t-shirt that says that. It's a long bumper sticker if we had those anymore. |
| 0:55.2 | Olivia, we have so much to talk about. |
| 0:57.0 | Let's talk about the song that comes out at midnight tonight. Yes. There's a timer counting down somewhere. Is there not? Somewhere, yeah, somewhere in the world. The Cure is out tonight. Yes. And you actually said this is probably today, today, your favorite song of yours. Yeah, I think at least one of. I'm really, really proud of this song. I absolutely love it. And I'm really excited for people to hear it. I think it's like a new perspective that I haven't really, you know, had the, like, maturity maybe to express before in earlier albums. And yeah, I'm really obsessed with it. |
| 1:28.4 | Good. |
| 1:29.7 | Write it as long as you can because one day you'll come up with another song. Yeah, hopefully. And we'll be talking to you and you'll go, remember that song in The Cure? It's okay. Yeah, it's all right. I think so much better. I mean, a girl can dream. I hope that's the case. All right. Now, I've got to talk about what it's like, closing down Versailles. |
| 1:45.5 | Can you imagine actually having that as your home as someone did? Honestly, yeah. I was thinking about it. I was trying to picture myself as Marie Antoinette, like, living in that place. It's insane. I think there's like 3,000 rooms, which is kind of an inconceivable in none of homes inhomes in one place. You know what? I was sitting there and I'm like, no wonder the French like had this revolution. Like if I saw this, I would be mad as hell too. For sure. You know, this is crazy. It's like so opulent and beautiful in gauche and like, yeah. But filming there was an incredible experience. We got to have the whole place all to ourselves, which was insane. |
| 2:23.6 | And we just got to run around at like 2 a.m. and shoot at this like gorgeous location with these gorgeous fountains and gardens. And it was definitely experienced I remember forever. Well, of course, |
| 2:27.7 | Drop Dead, the song. The reason why you have the enormity of Versailles as a part of this video |
| 2:32.5 | is the connection of... Yeah. I mean, I think that the song is about, like, falling for someone. It's about a first date that goes really well, and it's just that feeling when you meet someone that you're really excited about where the possibilities are endless, you know what I mean? And everything's so grand and dreamlike, and that just sort of reminds me of Versailles. It's just so beautiful and endless. So maybe a song that would make sense to shoot a video in one of those little tiny houses. Tiny houses are like a big thing. Oh my gosh, yeah. I used to be really into that. I used to like do the deep dive of the tiny house living on YouTube. Have you guys ever done that? Yes. Absolutely. Or like the um, when they convert the vans. |
| 3:07.8 | Yeah. |
