Hey everyone, Travis here. What you're going to hear today is a little different to what we normally do in this podcast feed. Chris and I are usually in the same call talking about a specific song and Connie's discography. But over on the YouTube channel, we open up a little bit. We'll do fun like lists, you know, rankings and stuff, analyze music videos, things like that, that sometimes those videos help to have a visual component to them.

0:22.4

But they don't always, and we thought they'd be fun to post here in the podcast feed as well.

0:26.8

So that's what you're hearing today.

0:28.4

If you want to go watch the video with it, you can, of course, go do that.

the shot selection. It's a really cool thing. So sometimes put on a movie that you really like

1:50.2

already, turn the audio off and just watch it on mute. And you'll have a, I think, a pretty

1:55.3

cool experience. But today, we're going to go through that with the easy music video. So we start

2:00.3

with the Burning House, right?

2:02.5

Which recalls Listening Party 3 in Chicago, the Donda 2 concert where they had the house even more on fire.

2:10.4

You get the church aspect with the cross on it, but the house, the Chicago house from Yeas' childhood when they rebuilt it for Listening Party 3 had the
