Welcome back. This is Hot Takes and Deep Dives and I hope you're ready for some gaga because first of all chromatica dropped this week and I am here with my number one Lady Gaga friend on planet Earth.

Your number one Lady Gaga fan slash friend on Earth.

You really are.

You really are. Introduce yourself, you are Club Alley.

Yes, my name is Club Alley, Ali Philippides, but you know, Club Ali as Jess knows me.

I've been a Gaga fan, I mean since the very, very, very beginning, and I'm still like in a little bit of shock and days from like the past 48 hours of like constant chromatica and I'm so so excited to talk with Jess more about Gaga because it's definitely a shared love of ours.

Now you've seen her live definitely more than I have.

I mean you've slept.

Okay, can we tell the story?

Okay guys, just I need to paint the picture of just how big of a fan you are

you you slept you tell me when I'm hitting a wrong effect is it true that you

slept on the streets of time square because she was doing a signing that you've like combined two stories so you've like combined two stories so you go

ahead it the Virgin Megastore okay Is that even... The year? It was 1995. Okay. The year was 1995.

Okay, so I have slept on this street four times for Gaga.

And the Times Square incident was for the Times Square

Incident.

It was for when she was doing the New Year's like

when the ball drops on New Year's there's always like a like a performer and

Gaga was a performer that year and so a very good friend of mine who is also a huge super fan of Gaga we decided we were going to go

sleep in Times Square so that we would have the like best view of the stage we had no idea that you get put into these corrals and the only people

who get to see the stage are like people who are part of like the New Year's party, like

famous people or whatever, like you can't just wait in line to go like see the show
