Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday Sit Down podcast. My thanks as always

for clicking and listing along. Boy, oh boy, do I have a big one for you this week. One of the

biggest stars in all of music and the woman of the moment in music. Olivia Rodriguez. She's out with a new

album called Guts. It, of course, is the follow-up to the 2021 smash that introduced her to the

world called Sour with hits like Driver's License, Good for You, Dejave. Her new album, just out, and man, it's already doing big business.

our interview took place just minutes after she stepped off the stage doing the Friday concert

series on the Today Show. So she draws a huge crowd to Rockefeller Center outside. Fans and their moms and

everybody else sleeping out on the street overnight

for a couple of days just to get a glimpse of her into here. So she does the show, delights the fans,

then comes off a few minutes later, sits down with me. And all I can say is she is an absolute delight.

I'd never met her before. She is everything she appears to be. She's charming.

She's funny. She's personable. She's incredibly polite for what that's worth. I mean, said hello to
