And I was like, oh my god, like I want to meet Elton John and I was only 13. I just thought it was so cool. And then 24 hours later, Elton John called my mobile saying, hey.

Celebrity crush.

SPEAKER_01 0:09

My mom would hate me if I said this out loud.

SPEAKER_04 0:11

With the Grammys, did you reach out to them?

SPEAKER_01 0:13

100%. I yapped my way into the Grammys. And I'm gonna do it again and again.

SPEAKER_04 0:19

You did the thing at the Grammys, though. I know. Did they shut it up?

SPEAKER_01 0:21

Was that your first one? It's my first ever Grammy.

SPEAKER_04 1:10

This is what we do here in Miami. And if you're like, if you're listening, you're hearing the different accent, if you're seeing, she got the the bright on-brand dress. I love this go, by the way.

SPEAKER_01 1:22

Yeah, I'm wearing a very bright dress. It's actually from my mom's brand, Torty Swim. So that's where we're here, Miami Swim Week. But it actually matches your brand. And I feel like that's love that.

SPEAKER_04 1:30

It was it was perfect. Uh, but like we were saying, this is a reunion because we met at the Grammys earlier this year.

SPEAKER_01 1:38

I was telling my friends, I was telling everyone I was with, I was like, Yeah, yeah, I'm just going to do this podcast. Yeah, I met them at the Grammys. I was like, yeah, yeah, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_00 1:47

Yeah, we met at the Grammys. Like that's self to flex. Like, we all think about it. That was amazing.

SPEAKER_04 1:52

We are feeling ourselves right now. You did the thing at the Grammys, though. I know. Was that your first one?

SPEAKER_01 1:57

It was my first ever Grammys.

SPEAKER_04 1:59

You were walking up. Like, you look like you owned the place.

SPEAKER_01 2:02

I did, guys. No, I'm joking. I'm joking. I honestly I come from a very, very small village in Scotland, and I've had Grammys on that manifestation board for so long. So see when I was actually there, I was actually like, wait, like it comes true.

SPEAKER_04 2:16

It came natural to you.

SPEAKER_01 2:17

Yeah, it was it was incredible.

SPEAKER_04 2:18

In your red carpet walk, all of it. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 2:20

Guys, I'm grateful.

SPEAKER_04 2:22

Uh, y'all, y'all can hear the story too, but it was our first one as well. Okay. So we're kind of just waiting in line, seeing all the other creators and artists go ahead of us. And I'm like, oh, they're doing this for real. Like, this is like this is your sixth one for the shooting show.

SPEAKER_00 2:37

Guys, I'm like, I like it.

SPEAKER_05 2:39

And we have to wait on the group picture for you, by the way. Just throw the show.

SPEAKER_00 2:44

We did our group picture, and I'm just giving the group picture.

SPEAKER_01 2:48

I was wearing similar to what I'm wearing now, very bright cartoons, big trail. My hair was up. It was given it all, it was very loud. But like, that's kind of what I do. Like, so you know, and you guys looked great. What are you talking about?

SPEAKER_05 3:02

Oh, stop.

SPEAKER_04 3:08

Throw the footage back. We'll throw the footage in there. Um, but yes, it was uh, as you know, it was all very fast-paced. Yes, that whole few days, um, where we got to meet and connect with people, but we didn't really get to like fully know, you know, what people do and whatnot. Uh, and we we saw you make some music. I was like, oh, it makes sense while you're at the Grammys.

SPEAKER_06 3:29

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 3:29

Um, so we want to talk about that.

SPEAKER_06 3:31

Please.

SPEAKER_04 3:32

Um, especially coming from across the pond. It's a whole you're our, I think, probably our first guest ever from Scotland.

SPEAKER_01 3:39

Oh, I'm honored.

SPEAKER_04 3:40

I'm definitely first.

SPEAKER_01 3:42

Scotland is on the can I vibe map. I love that.

SPEAKER_04 3:46

Can we vibe with Scotland?

SPEAKER_00 3:47

Yes, you're welcome.

SPEAKER_04 3:49

So I'm actually curious to hear a little your backstory. I'm not gonna lie to you. I don't know anything about Scotland besides the bagpipes.

SPEAKER_01 3:55

That's okay.

SPEAKER_04 3:56

And I feel like that's probably what you hear all the time.

SPEAKER_01 3:59

I know. I feel like I need to put them in a song. If I could, I would have done it by now.

SPEAKER_03 4:02

But they're I mean the skirts and the kilt, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:07

Kilt, kill. I I actually said my brother should have worn that to the Grammys. That would have been iconic. Yes, my brother. She wanted to know that.

SPEAKER_04 4:14

Yeah, he had the kilt fit on though.

SPEAKER_01 4:17

Yeah, but we I wanted Fulbright's skirt. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 4:21

He could have rocked it.

SPEAKER_01 4:22

Yeah, I know. So anyway, yeah, Scotland is. I feel like Scotland's like becoming really cool again. And especially when I come to America, y'all are like, oh my god, Scotland. I didn't even know. I don't know. I sound like I'm like, guys, I'm from Scotland. Scotland, and it doesn't matter where I go in America, you all have a relation to Scotland. Oh my god, my great grandmother's cat is from there. I'm like, yes, honey. We have zero relationships.

SPEAKER_05 4:45

I don't know if we have a relationship with Scotland, but wow.

SPEAKER_01 4:49

See, you you see when you you try to Scotland.

SPEAKER_04 4:52

Yeah, I have no relation to Scotland.

SPEAKER_01 4:53

No, no, when they're trying to beat me, they say it like that. But when they're trying to make a conversation, it's the die.

SPEAKER_04 4:58

It's the burning question. Who really has the accent? Is it the Europeans or the Americans?

SPEAKER_01 5:03

Oh my god, what the Americans are crazy. I love the fact that you guys have so many accents.

SPEAKER_04 5:08

Like, don't hear a Florida accent.

SPEAKER_01 5:10

Like, I just love it. Like, I'll eat an American accent up, so like, yeah, love it.

SPEAKER_04 5:14

So, what's your favorite American accent?

SPEAKER_01 5:15

Um, the New York. I did a TikTok once and I was like, yeah, like I'm eating peanuts in New York.

SPEAKER_00 5:25

And then and it was really bad. It was a really bad accent. And I was like, why are we saying that Margot Robbie? And I was like, I'm sure that might not be.

SPEAKER_03 5:34

Can you give us some Scotland lingo that we can just take and just eat up?

SPEAKER_01 5:38

Um, well, there's like a dinny ken, which means a dinny ken.

SPEAKER_04 5:42

A dinny ken?

SPEAKER_01 5:43

Which means I don't know. I dinny ken. I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 5:47

A dinny ken. I don't know. A dinnykin.

SPEAKER_01 5:49

Or like, you know what you could say, actually, which could work, like realistically. Oh, I'm away with the fairies. What would that?

SPEAKER_04 5:55

What does that mean? A wave at the fairies?

SPEAKER_01 5:57

Away with the fairies, which means you're drunk.

SPEAKER_04 5:59

Oh, I've been away with the fairies. Yeah, I'm away with the fairy drink.

SPEAKER_01 6:03

Like, I feel like that's a thing. We can make that.

SPEAKER_04 6:05

Yeah, for sure, for sure.

SPEAKER_01 6:06

So, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 6:07

Say it one more time. I like that one.

SPEAKER_01 6:08

Away with the fairies.

SPEAKER_04 6:09

Away with the fairies.

SPEAKER_00 6:10

I love the fact that you asked any Scottish fairies and I was like, well, the one for when they're drunk.

SPEAKER_04 6:15

All right, away with the fairies. How do we, if I meet a Scottish lady one day, how would I say, like, you know, some something romantic?

SPEAKER_01 6:23

Ooh, um, did you guys say hen? Huh? Hen.

SPEAKER_04 6:30

Like H-E-N?

SPEAKER_01 6:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 6:32

Hen.

SPEAKER_01 6:32

Yeah, like um, I'm a wee hen.

SPEAKER_04 6:35

Oh like What's that mean?

SPEAKER_01 6:37

Oh, we I use we all. I forget that's not an American thing. We like I'm a wee? I'm a wee bit cold.

SPEAKER_04 6:43

Okay, I've I've heard that. I'm a wee bit cold. Yeah, a wee bit.

SPEAKER_01 6:46

I'm a wee bit excited. Yeah, yeah. I'm a wee bit ready to drink right now, you know. Like one of them. So yeah, okay. But hen, so it means like girl, or like your right hen? Uh your right hen. It's like it's like it's like babe, you know?

SPEAKER_04 6:57

Like, hen. How you doing, hen? Come on, hen. Yeah, listen, yeah. Oh, I'm eating. I'm expanding international.

SPEAKER_00 7:04

Yeah, you're international. You're you're you've crossed the pond.

SPEAKER_04 7:06

So, what was it like making music over there?

SPEAKER_01 7:09

So I came from a very busy household. Like, I've got three siblings, my two crazy parents. Um, my dad was a jazz pianist, he did like film scores, so jazz, music was all around my house since I can remember. My mom was in marketing and branding, so like it was such a like if you want it, go get it household, like work harder, go again, like dry your eyes. Like, Scottish people are very tough, so there's zero sympathy. Like, no matter what goes wrong, zero sympathy. Work harder. Like, that was like the work ethic. So, um, for me, like I just loved music. I used to like put on talent shows in my sitting room. I used to make my sister do it. And my sister's the opposite of me. She's in finance, she's like very serious, she's like all beauty and brains, and I'm like, come on, let's go. Anyway, so um, as I grew up, I just didn't shop. And then um eventually I started like asking my dad, like, please just let me like sing some songs for you. And he just was like, Okay, fine, like like at the end, and um, I did this little like demo tape with my dad, very gratefully. And um, when I was on holiday for my granddad's birthday, we found out that Elton John was staying in this hotel, so I kept like walking about trying to like find him, and I was like, Oh my god, like I'm gonna meet Elton John, and I was only 13. I just thought it was so cool. And um, obviously I didn't meet him, but when the day we were leaving, I saw Elton John's husband at breakfast. So I went up to him, took my younger brothers, Johnny, Zach, who must have been like five and three at the time. Like they're so small, but who's gonna say no to a kid? And I was like, hi, I'm Talia from Scotland. Can I give you my demo? And you pass it to Elton, like this pure like confidence, like no other. And then 24 hours later, Elton John called my mobile saying, Hey, I love your voice. Will you open my concert in Scotland?

SPEAKER_04 8:52

Oh, wow, this is at 13.

SPEAKER_01 8:54

No, when I look back as a 27-year-old lady, I look back and think, That's insane that I did that at 13. I'll see 13 year olds now, and I'm like, there's no way I did that. Like, I that is unhinged, but like nothing's changed. I'm still the exact same way.

SPEAKER_04 9:07

And um that probably like gave you a boost of confidence.

SPEAKER_01 9:10

Uh but you know, I am from Scotland, so I'm not gonna lie, like the bullying that came after that was I had to move school, it was so bad. Like, people would throw paper at me in the hall. Like, it was like why were they bullying? Who do you think you are? Like, it wasn't like uh so y'all got haters too. Yeah, it was like, but Scotland's very known for that, and I definitely wouldn't be where I am with that tough Scottish grit. Like, it's people always say, Oh, there's bullying capital of the world. Okay, that's a bit much, but it is tough. Like, you can't like put your head above that water, but because of that training as a kid of like you just dry your eyes, honey, doesn't matter what they say, like laser focus. That definitely got with me where I am. Cause I'm like, I'm like with Lusworth and I, I'm like, honey, like, I know they're all in my DMs trying to be my friend. I'm like, I don't forget. I know your names, I I know you live, like, I don't, I don't want to be your friend. I I remember.

SPEAKER_04 10:02

I was actually curious because um I did read about how you were found by Sir Elton John, but I didn't know how. I didn't, I thought, you know, you just heard your music one day. Like you really hand delivered it to him.

SPEAKER_01 10:13

But I'm not gonna lie, every single thing in my life, I genuinely have knocked that door. Now, don't get me wrong, I have been built by my mother in the best way possible. Like, everything is because of her. She's taught me everything I know, like genuinely. But like, if it's down to like a radio draw, bro, like even at the Grammys, like it's all physically me going out and like emailing and chatting and like networking. So I like I'm a big believer. If you want that, go find it. Like, you know, they're always like you're like three people away from the person. Go chat your way. This is true. I can yap my way anywhere. Like, we're gonna be all right.

SPEAKER_04 10:45

With the Grammys, did you reach out to them?

SPEAKER_01 10:47

100%. Oh, I went to uh way into the Grammys. Look at that. I yapped my way into the Grammys, and I'm gonna do it again and again.

SPEAKER_05 10:55

And that's see you next year, guys.

SPEAKER_01 10:57

Don't worry, I'll see you there. We all go. No, but seriously, like I'm everybody always asks me, they're like, How have you done, you know, they'll ask me a random thing they've seen on Instagram? I'm like, guys, like sliding people's DMs. Like, do you understand the privilege we have of like a phone and LinkedIn? Everyone is there, talking to anyone you want, yeah. Anybody, and like no shame, like you can't. And I think the the older I get and the more experiences I have, the people that read it at the top, they've gone out their way and done that themselves. They're knocking the doors, they're being unapologetic and slightly ruthless with it, you know?

SPEAKER_04 11:29

That's how you gotta be. That's just like that's how you come up. I love it. And it makes so much sense when I as I read this. You've been on some red carpets, and you walk the walk.

SPEAKER_01 11:39

I walk the walk.

SPEAKER_04 11:40

Where did that come from? Where did you how did you start doing that?

SPEAKER_01 11:43

Where did it come from?

SPEAKER_04 11:45

What are some big names you've you've been with?

SPEAKER_01 11:47

That's such an interesting question. Where's it come from? It's always been in me. I've always been super confident when it comes to being Talia Storm. Because my real name is Natalia, so I am like the definition of a Scorpio. So you will catch me, you will catch me on a quiet one being like silence, like I won't even speak. Like, I am either I don't speak, I'm trying to drink a white claw on my own, or like I'm at the Grammys, like strutting my stuff like you've never seen before, you know? So I think it's just in me. Like, I can't explain it.

SPEAKER_05 12:18

I definitely feel like you can't, yeah, you can't fake any of this.

SPEAKER_04 12:21

Like, this is and that was our first impression of you because I remember like like that was our obviously that was our first time doing like a major event like that, and it was like, yo, like kind of starstruck, you know, you mean all these people, and it's just like obviously everyone kind of has that confidence to be there. Like everyone's like to a certain extent, I deserve to be here. Like I did something, but with you, it was just like well, I just remember they just did my show. They put us, they put us in the creator like van, I guess.

SPEAKER_00 12:48

The sprinter. I actually I've never been in one of those sprinters before. I felt so lit.

SPEAKER_03 12:53

I was like, and it was so random, it was just like hoping the sprinter, and it was just like, oh, we're with all these people.

SPEAKER_01 12:58

But the slabs always use that to the man gala. Yeah, so I was like, Whoa, this is the real experience. Like, we're getting full Grammy experience.

SPEAKER_04 13:04

And you did, you had I didn't know Johnny was your brother until today. I thought he was a cameraman. Like Johnny just keep the camera rotating, Johnny. Get everything. Johnny going, I'm like, oh, camera brother. That's the art, but this is what I mean.

SPEAKER_01 13:14

Like, we're just built for it. Like, my brother knows my brother's a DJ, by the way. Like, Johnny is the DJ. Johnny's doing so well right now. I'm like, I take him over. I took him to Sirius XM this morning. I'm like, we're ever. He's here, he's in Miami. So um, yeah, it's just in us. Like, go if you want it, go get it. Like, and it, you know, don't get me wrong, there's one million gazillion nils, but like, dry your eyes, honey. We go again, you know? So dry your eyes, honey. Dry your eyes, dry your eyes, honey.

SPEAKER_03 13:38

Dry your eyes, hen. We go again. Drive your eyes.

SPEAKER_00 13:43

Basically, we love that for us.

SPEAKER_04 13:45

You have an EP coming out. Yes, and I'm I want to hear about it, I want to hear all about it. How long you've been working on it, what motivated it? Yeah, everything.

SPEAKER_01 13:54

Okay, so obviously, I've been doing music for so long. You know, 13 Elm John Woman. Now, when I was actually 15, I got a five-album world deal with Capitol Records in Los Angeles. It was Ron Fair that signed me. Um obviously he's behind Christina Aguilera, Piscett Dolls. He is the goat, especially of my like RB, my roots were jazz. So, um, and at the time Drake's lawyer was my lawyer, we got to meet Drake, all this stuff. Six months to sign this deal, boom boom, signed it. And I'm not even joking, six weeks into like signing it, Ron gets fired. And then we're like, what now? What do you mean? Like, what what now? And I'll never forget. And they're like, Yeah, well, your Air and R is gone, so we're gonna make you Katie Perry. And I was like, Whoa, that couldn't even sing fast at the time, like I was very like jazzy and small.

SPEAKER_04 14:41

You said you were 15?

SPEAKER_01 14:42

Yeah, 15. And uh one the first signed, it was 14, so it took a year to really sign. And then um our lawyer, who's drinking's lawyer, was like, yo, we gotta get you out of the deal. It's like, what do you mean? And I'm as I'm there in my school in Scotland, like, and all my friends are like laughing at me, and I'm thinking, no, no, don't worry, I've got this deal coming, like it's all gonna be great. And then yeah, so it was a year to set up, and then we're right. So that was a real moment, and every single singer in the world has a story like this. This is just very common practice, but at the time I didn't know that, but that definitely taught me like okay, like this is gonna take a bit more work. And I remember at 13 Elton was like, this is gonna take you at least 10 years. And at the time I was like, no, like, watch me, you know. And here I was. So, anyway, from that I realized I'm gonna have to be so much more than a singer if I make this work. Like, I'm in Scotland at the time. I was like, I want to be in London. So then I was like, okay, we're gonna get on Instagram, we're gonna start creating, we're gonna, you know, TV, we're gonna present. I was willing to do anything that was possible to just allow me to be in London. And I come from an amazing family, but my mom is incredibly strict. So she was like, Well, first of all, we need straight ladies in school, and second of all, you need to be able to pay your own rent. Now, my mom, I'm not gonna lie, she could have easily paid that rent. Like, I'm not trying to pretend she couldn't, but she is a strict little lady. She was a strict little lady, and yeah, don't think this was easy. Like, at one point, I had to like move out. I was saying to my friends, I'm thinking, like, but mom's like, Well, you can move back to Scotland, and I'm like, no, no, like I'm gonna do this. So, anyway, along the way, I just I was like, the music's gonna win. Like the music, at the end of the day, all of this is just it doesn't matter because it's about the music. So fast forward to now, the EP, A Storm is coming, is finished. I made it with Camper, who is one of my favorite RB producers. It's um ICU, Coco Jones, like Doja Cat, Akani, like everyone I love. So um, we did it about actually two years ago now, and um, it was all thanks to Jason Joshua, who's an amazing mixing engineer mixed by Mike Sieberg, and it was just an amazing like full circle moment of like every single person I'd ever want to work with on this one EP. And um when is it released? Um, the 19th of June. So like two weeks.

SPEAKER_04 16:49

19th of June, say the date.

SPEAKER_01 16:51

Yeah, but if this comes out after, it's coming out soon.

SPEAKER_04 16:54

So is this like an RB album? R B EP?

SPEAKER_01 16:57

RB EP, yes, and um I do have a feature on there, which I'm not even gonna say until it's out because honestly, guys, that first of all, so exciting. Second of all, this music industry is very difficult, and I'm independent artist, so until that song is physically out, I'm not telling a soul.

SPEAKER_00 17:13

She's independent.

SPEAKER_01 17:14

Yeah, I'm like, I can't jinx it. Like, you don't understand what takes, like, especially when you're working with these big guys, they have like 50 people on their team, they have 50 lawyers, they have 50 lawyers' brothers, you speak to them all and get all of the approvals. Okay, so until that's physically out on spot fine essential the link. Stay tuned.

SPEAKER_05 17:30

Can't wait, can't wait.

SPEAKER_03 17:32

Do you think do you think it's harder for an art an artist coming across the pond versus an artist being here physically in the state?

SPEAKER_01 17:41

Well, it it's a catch me too, because obviously you're super exciting if you come from the UK, but the second of all, you know, who cares? Yeah. This is our favorite line in our family, who cares?

SPEAKER_04 17:52

I always wondered this. Are you in the UK now?

SPEAKER_01 17:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 17:56

Okay. Sometimes with uh music and acting, I hear the accent when they talk, but in the music, I can't hear. I'm like, oh, I never knew they were from across the pond. Yeah, I don't sing with a Scottish accent. No.

SPEAKER_01 18:12

That's a good question. Why? I don't know. You know why? So I think it's just because of what we listen to. Like realistically.

SPEAKER_04 18:18

Do you listen to a lot of American music?

SPEAKER_01 18:20

Oh my god, it's all but when I was young, it used to be like Erica Padu, Jill Scott, I would say we were older, we were more Bryson Teller, J. Cole, and then I'd have like I'd have different phases, like it could be a Coco Jones, it could be uh Harrisza, um, Summer Walker. Like, no, I like like the new girlies, like I love Sailor Obsessed with her. She's an RB girly. Um, but it the UK is bringing out some bangers right now. Like it really is.

SPEAKER_04 18:47

Like, I this was about like six months ago, but um, I'm listening to Olivia Dean. And I I it wasn't until I heard her speak, I'm like, I didn't realize we didn't realize to the Grammys.

SPEAKER_03 18:59

Well, I didn't realize to the Grammys. I s I swear. They were like, Oh yeah, she's nominated, and then when she spoke at the Grammys, I was like, Where is she from?

SPEAKER_01 19:08

But she's one of my favorite stories because have you seen all the interviews about her? Like 10 years, nobody cared. And she's she has been that impeccable, that flawless, that incredible for 10 years. Like, this is a tough game to crack. So yeah, I love her. And she only played BBC Introducing three years ago. Do you understand how insane that is? BBC Introducing is like our radio station, like new people stage.

SPEAKER_04 19:27

I saw the video where she performed like 10 people there. And this was like that was it? Yeah, it was like 2023 or something like that.

SPEAKER_01 19:33

My biggest pet peeve when people ask a singer to sing and then they don't sing, so I actually need to sing. I hate it. No, it's my biggest pet as a singer. I'm like, oh my god, bitch, she had one job sing. Like, honey, dance muscles. Like, come on, honey. Right. Let's sing.

SPEAKER_00 20:25

Okay, wait.

SPEAKER_01 20:25

SPEAKER_04 20:53

What do you kind of gravitate towards more? Well, let's go all the topics.

SPEAKER_01 20:57

Oh, yeah, let's do all the topics. I like it. Okay, so dating, very interesting because my London boys, very non-talon, very like WID. So you're getting like, bro, I can't be bothered. Like, I can't. Like, I'm I'm not gonna lie. I I'm on my way, but I'm still successful young women. Like, either come correct or leave me alone. I don't need it right now, okay? I I can't. Okay, but but but but my American boys. Oh dear, oh dear. Very normal to have so many multiple women so openly.

SPEAKER_05 21:28

What a American boy.

SPEAKER_00 21:30

At least my London boys lie.

SPEAKER_05 21:32

That must be an LA thing. I don't know. Okay, maybe it's LA, but it must be LA.

SPEAKER_01 21:37

Seriously, like I've got a visa to have to be well behaved. Otherwise, I'd really love to have a serious chat with these boys. I'm like, you can't be that serious. Like, it's not the vibe, okay?

SPEAKER_05 21:46

Oh, so you take the nonchalant over the multiple women.

SPEAKER_01 21:49

It's the audacity to be so open about it. It's kind of like, well, this is it. So, like, if you don't want to pick.

SPEAKER_04 22:08

That's an LA thing. I'm standing by that. That's an LA thing. Honestly, I have a message for the men because even if we're labeled as divas from across the pond, I don't know what's going on. Live your truth. You're guilty.

SPEAKER_01 22:18

Even that, whoever that was, that was guilty. You're definitely a diva too when it comes down to it. Anyway, 100% my British men, I'll take a nonchalon over whatever that is in D.

SPEAKER_04 22:27

Ah, okay. Food.

SPEAKER_01 22:28

SPEAKER_04 23:44

You complimenting someone's confidence is that's no small fee.

SPEAKER_01 25:35

It's like the is that a the I don't know, but it's like the most basic. Like everyone's walking in a straight line, and it I don't I love the song. It's like, is it Jenny and team and Pala? Team and Pala and Jenny. Amazing song. But the viral TikTok is But is it like a dance people do? No, it's like two catwalks, and it's very simple and very easy. But just I've had enough of it.

SPEAKER_04 25:57

Yeah, fed up. I get it. I'm curious now.

SPEAKER_01 25:59

Do you know do you know what that is?

SPEAKER_01 26:04

You do, you look at that right now. You're gonna know.

SPEAKER_04 26:07

Look at that right now. Okay, so uh um Phil Foden.

SPEAKER_01 26:12

No, okay. He has like a wife and kids.

SPEAKER_04 26:15

Are you still going?

SPEAKER_05 26:16

Yeah, I'm gonna get it. I'm gonna get it. What's the last thing you cried about?

SPEAKER_01 26:20

Oh um. I actually cry all the time. I cry, oh I'm a Scorpio, so I'll never let anyone know. And I'll like be really tough and strong and I'll go cry. By yourself, you're like, and I'll cry, I'll cry out, but then they say crying is amazing because it's releasing all the emotions. So it's really important to cry. And if you don't cry, you're bottling too much up. If you don't want to see a therapist, go chat to chat to pt. Very helpful.

SPEAKER_04 26:46

Do do uh men in the UK go to therapy?

SPEAKER_03 26:48

Because I know here is not a big thing.

SPEAKER_01 26:51

Not too much. Not too much, no. I would love them to. What was it?

SPEAKER_03 26:55

What would you say? Cry and keep going, wipe your tears and keep going.

SPEAKER_01 26:58

Dry your eyes, honey. Dry your eyes, dry your eyes on. But it's very important to cry. I love crying. Like you get a cry, let's go. What was it? It was probably something about just I'm a big dreamer. I I have my eyes on the sky, and I'm very ambitious. And I'm very hard on myself for sure. So it's probably just me being hard on myself, and then I wake up the next day.

SPEAKER_00 27:22

First of all, I'm sure he no, no, I'm I need to answer.

SPEAKER_01 27:25

I was gonna say something funny. No, that's not my type. Not my type. No, not my type.

SPEAKER_05 27:32

Can you name your type?

SPEAKER_01 27:33

No. You're getting you're too I'm getting cut hotter or colder. No, you're you're you're all over the you're all over the gaff.

SPEAKER_04 27:42

All over the gaff. I think I'm getting hotter and hotter.

SPEAKER_00 27:47

Okay, well, you're never gonna know.

SPEAKER_03 27:49

What would be the best advice for confidence you would give to, let's say, someone trying to get in the industry? A little girl like yourself?

SPEAKER_01 27:56

Nobody knows what they're doing. Nobody knows. The the the more ambitious I get, the bigger rooms I get in with these more important people, everybody is winging it. Me and my brother say this word ragged. Do you say that? Like it's ragged. It's just like raggedy, right? Raggedy. And we'll get to this like big event, this crazy thing, and it's like, yo, this is ragged. It's all ragged. Like it looks amazing on photos, but like there's no reason why you right now cannot be in that room. Like I'd agree. I'm being serious. Like, if you want it, go get it. Like, I understand everybody, you know, comes from different levels of support systems, and I'm so lucky to have a family that's so on me and like go big, go home. I understand that alone is a privilege because people don't have that. And my mom is that tiger mom, you know? But you can do it. Like, it's really I think when I think we put these things on a pedestal, and it's like that's too put together, it's too they know what they're doing, it's too successful, it's too, it's too perfect, or actually, all of it's so imperfect, you can absolutely do it, and that uh it's not deeper than that, you know. And also, do just do. Like I have done you Google Talia Storm, and you will see 500,000 photos of me and all my errors. Now, these errors were not pretty, but I'm still going.

SPEAKER_04 29:12

So just go do you always find a way to find a camera. That was the first thing I noticed. I was like, every I'm telling you, I'm like, I have never seen so many cameras in front of me, and you had everyone. I just follow you, they gravitate to you.

SPEAKER_01 29:28

Nice, guys.

SPEAKER_04 29:29

They probably only got the cameras on us right now.

SPEAKER_01 29:31

Okay, yeah, yeah. Well, you know, you just you just gotta wing it, guys. Wing it and do it. Do it, do it, do it.

SPEAKER_04 29:38
