Transcript

Arianna (00:01)
Hello and welcome to another episode of Daddy's Girls podcast. And as you can see, we're missing a member sadly. ⁓ Masha had volleyball bonding with her team, so she's building her connections there. Anyway, moving on. Olivia, take us through today's topics.

Olivia (00:21)
So today we are going to be talking about Taylor Swift's new album, the Formula One race, and Benny Blanco's and Selena Gomez's wedding.

Arianna (00:35)
Okay, start us off with Taylor Swift's new album.

Olivia (00:38)
So I actually got the vinyl at Target. It is, I believe, the Champagne Spritz Edition. And Taylor's sister's new album, it came out on Friday. And I like it. I feel like it's fun and really uplifting than her other album, Folklore, which is right behind me.

Arianna (01:01)
Yeah.

But it sucks.

Olivia (01:09)
Some people think it sucks.

Rudy (01:09)
Wait, Olivia, Olivia, Olivia,

Olivia, wait, Olivia, Olivia, wait a second. Can I ask you a stupid question?

Olivia (01:16)
What?

Rudy (01:19)
Why do you have a record? What are you playing this record on? Or are you not playing the record? You're just looking at it. I mean, I haven't used the record since 19th, I don't know, ever. But yet you have a record. We don't even use CDs anymore. How are you playing it?

Olivia (01:25)
Here's the player.

Arianna (01:36)
and a record player.

Olivia (01:40)
record player. I could show it to you but it's heavy and I play the like I usually play my vinyls on the record player like when I want like to have a speaker on or something.

Arianna (01:56)
Yeah, I don't get playing on vinyl. mean, we have like phones and Spotify and Apple Music for a reason.

Olivia (02:04)
Yeah, but like this, came with a poster and what's it called? And I like collecting them too. Also, this is reminding me of like the meme of like the record players inside the vinyl. If you know it. You know like that meme? Like the girl, she picked up Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo ⁓ vinyls and she's like, I want these. And then her mom was like, you don't have a record player. And then the girl said,

Arianna (02:20)
Huh?

Olivia (02:33)
the record players inside the vinyl.

Arianna (02:37)
Mmm, so she's done.

Rudy (02:38)
⁓ okay,

so let's get into it. Olivia, first of all, did you like the album? I know I listened to it with you. Ariana, did you listen to the album? Ariana, why don't you go first? Did you listen to the album?

Arianna (02:49)
No.

No, I don't listen to Taylor Swift's albums. I stop- I don't know any- like I know most of her songs just because of like they're popular, they're played a lot, but I stopped listening after like I want to say what's the one before Folklore?

Olivia (03:10)
Lover.

Arianna (03:12)
maybe it was I listened to, I stopped listening at folklore.

So yeah, but yeah, I don't know. No, I didn't because I don't keep up with Taylor Swift stuff.

Rudy (03:23)
So you didn't listen to this album at all or you did listen to this album?

Olivia (03:30)
feel like if you're

Rudy (03:30)
Okay, so Olivia,

since you're such a big Swifty, why don't you break it down? it down. Give us your top five songs of the album, which ones were not that great, and what's your favorite favorite one?

Olivia (03:48)
So first, my favorite favorite one has to be like the closing song, which is the life of a showgirl with Sabrina Carpenter. And my top five, I would have to say, is I really like Opalite, Ruin the Friendship, Actually Romantic, the life of a showgirl, and either Elizabeth Taylor or The Fate of Ophelia, because I feel like those are good.

I feel like one song that people were really expecting to be good was The Eldest Daughter, but like it turned out to be like not that like, it wasn't like as people expected it.

Because, yeah.

Arianna (04:38)
heard from TikTok that it wasn't measured up to certain people's expectations and that even the non-Swifties are like saying stuff about that.

Olivia (04:43)
Yeah.

Rudy (04:51)
Yeah, Olivia, know we listened in the car to, go on.

Olivia (04:51)
feel like Ariana,

you should give it, like you should listen to it and like you could do what you think. Cause I feel like some songs didn't really like, like hit that much, but like the Fatal Ophelia, like my top five, feel like those were the best.

Arianna (05:13)
into it but I'm right now listening to tip for tat on repeat so

Olivia (05:17)
I loved

it for tat so much. Anyways, so going back to the vinyl, if you get the Target edition, you would open it up to find like this picture of Taylor Swift and Ariana, do you know what that is?

Arianna (05:37)
No.

Olivia (05:39)
Give Jer 90 % c- wait, what's the meme? It was like, give Jer a raspberry kool-ish 90 % cacao cake or something.

Arianna (05:50)
Yeah ⁓

Olivia (05:52)
And then when you like, there's like a little tab here that has like never before seen photos and then a poem that she wrote. This is really like a new format for her vinyls. Cause usually it's not like this, especially with like the cutout. And then when you open it from up top,

There's like the vinyl itself, which is really, really pretty.

And then like, again, never before seen photos. And then you could open it up to find like lyrics and like the songs.

Arianna (06:38)
You know, I'm getting kind of bored of this topic. Let's move on to the next one.

Rudy (06:40)
Yeah,

well, real quick, Olivia and I listened to the album in the car and we listened to Father Figure, which I believe to be a sample of George Michael's song Father Figure because the family came out and let her use it. didn't understand, they're nothing alike. And I played Father Figure for Olivia in the car. Is that right,

Olivia (07:07)
Yeah.

Rudy (07:09)
And Olivia, which father figure did you like? Did you like Taylor Swift's version of father figure or did you like George Michael's father figure? Which one did you like better?

Olivia (07:17)
the original one, cause I feel like it's more like happier cause Taylor Swift is more like I don't know like I feel like

It's similar to like, The Man.

Rudy (07:29)
You thought father figure

George Michael was a happy song?

Arianna (07:34)
Ugh.

Olivia (07:34)
Yeah...

I thought it had a better like... What do you mean?

Rudy (07:37)
⁓

Arianna (07:41)
Do you not understand the meanings of songs?

Olivia (07:45)
It was more like uplifting, I feel like.

Arianna (07:49)
Okay, you're using that word too much.

Rudy (07:52)
Yeah, you're using

that word, but it's definitely not an uplifting song. But it doesn't matter. You liked the older version, the George Michael song.

Olivia (07:58)
It had like a happier,

it had a happier beat.

Arianna (08:05)
You mean it was more... Not happier.

Rudy (08:05)
It had a better beat. How about a better beat? How about the song was just better?

Olivia (08:08)
love you, B.

Peace out.

Arianna (08:14)
No!

Rudy (08:15)
Now

go back and listen to it again.

Arianna (08:18)
Later, not right now.

Rudy (08:19)
Later,

not right now, not right now.

Olivia (08:20)
Wait, I'm

looking up the lyrics. George McLooney?

Rudy (08:24)
Okay, no, George Michael.

Arianna (08:25)
George McLunny! ⁓

I think she's getting it mixed up with George Clooney.

Rudy (08:35)
Yeah, I think so too.

Olivia (08:37)
Wait what's his last name? George Michael, okay.

Rudy (08:41)
George Michael.

Olivia (08:43)
Yeah, it's like-

Arianna (08:46)
Olivia, if I have to listen, I've never listened to this song, so let me look it up because now, well...

Olivia (08:48)
It's a happy song!

You- it's- it was viral

on TikTok!

Rudy (08:56)
Okay, well, we can't play the song on the podcast because we're not allowed, we don't have the rights to do it. But when we are done with the podcast, your homework for today, kids, listen to the George Michael father figure song. Yeah, you could listen to the remastered, that just means that they enhance the audio. Like what we have to do when we're done with this podcast, we have to enhance the audio.

Arianna (08:56)
Well, Olivia doesn't really know things.

Olivia (09:05)
Wait!

Arianna (09:10)
Is it father figure remastered, the remastered one?

Olivia (09:23)
you think

about it because I feel like the George McCloney George George Michael one

Rudy (09:29)
George Michael.

Olivia (09:33)
Beer.

Rudy (09:37)
Well, maybe just because Taylor Swift was singing a miserable tune.

great now the Swifties are gonna come after me.

Olivia (09:45)
What's it about?

Rudy (09:49)
Okay.

Arianna (09:49)
Wait, is this... is this about... like love? With a big age gap?

Rudy (09:58)
Kind of, yeah.

Kind of, yeah.

Arianna (10:02)
Because that's what I'm getting from the lyrics.

Yeah, Olivia, where did you get happy from?

WAH!

Olivia (10:17)
Lyricism is better than, I guess.

Arianna (10:20)
No.

Olivia (10:21)
But like the beat is better for George McLooney.

Arianna (10:25)
George Michael!

Rudy (10:25)
George

Michael.

Arianna (10:29)
George McLooney. Olivia, are you trying to make another person? Maybe you can name your kid McLooney.

Olivia (10:34)
Yeah.

Anyways, I feel like Taylor Swift's lyricism is better, but then the ⁓

Arianna (10:42)
Wait, sorry,

did you say Lyricism?

Olivia (10:45)
Lyricism.

Arianna (10:47)
Olivia, you're just making up words now and you're not using the existing words to the right, like, usage!

Olivia (10:55)
Lyrics is a mess of work!

Arianna (10:58)
No! You mean... you mean... do you mean DICTION?

Rudy (10:59)
No, it's not.

Olivia (10:59)
Lyrics im...

That... No!

No, lir- ready? I'm gonna search it up in the dictionary. Lyricism. I can't- IT IS A WORD!

Arianna (11:12)
That's a-

That shouldn't be a word.

Olivia (11:16)
Beat that!

Well it is. And I know more words than you then. So... I do! It's very- ⁓ anyway. I feel like her lyricism was better. But George McClure- George Michaels... ⁓ like, beat was better. So maybe they could have combined the beat with her lyricism and then BAM.

Arianna (11:22)
Well, you don't know how to use uplifting and happy properly.

George Michael.

I'll listen and I'll be the judge and I'll share my opinion because I know good music.

Rudy (11:46)
We'll regroup on the next episode. Okay, let's go

into the next topic. Olivia, do you want to talk about?

Olivia (11:53)
the race.

Rudy (11:56)
No, no, we're going to... The Singapore race? Let's go into the Singapore race. When was the race?

Arianna (11:56)
the Singapore race.

Olivia (11:58)
the Singapore. So before

the race happened on Saturday, yesterday basically for qualifying, I made a list of what to say.

Arianna (12:13)
⁓ I'll go based off of my knowledge without even watching either. Williams Racing ⁓ got disqualified from qualifiers because of technical difficulties with the car.

Olivia (12:24)
because no no no no no no no that because

the front wing of the car couldn't what's the i need to find like good words couldn't operate there we go ⁓ drs so that was a problem for them and then alex alba alex alba alex albon

Alex Albon's ⁓ car got on fire and that was also problem so they got disqualified from qualifying. And then in today's race, the tables have turned for the pit stops of McLaren. Do you know why?

Arianna (13:09)
why.

Olivia (13:11)
Because, you know how Lando's pit stops are always slow and like, not good?

Arianna (13:18)
They always mess up, yeah.

Olivia (13:20)
How the tables have turned. Oscar's pit stop was not good at all.

And then Lando's pit stop was like smoother and better.

Arianna (13:31)
So they're trying to make it better.

Olivia (13:35)
Yes. Anyways, so if you didn't know, George...

Ari, your favorite driver? George Russell!

Arianna (13:45)
Yes, George Russell won

the race.

Olivia (13:51)
And McLaren won the Constructors Championship again. So that's very good of them.

Yes, it's very good.

Arianna (14:05)
I wanted Mercedes to win even though that wasn't like a possibility. I really wanted them to

Olivia (14:12)
very

no but like i feel like mclaren kind of deserved it because their drivers were really good

Arianna (14:17)
Well, there's...

The thing is, there's something up there and I don't know what it is, but there's a reason why they're winning every single, like almost every single race. And they have like one-twos, like they're always, always...

Rudy (14:31)
Maybe their cars

are just better. Maybe their cars are better.

Olivia (14:33)
Yeah,

they have better ⁓ upgrades.

Arianna (14:35)
But that much better,

like that much better to the point of like a one, two almost every single time.

Olivia (14:41)
Yeah.

Rudy (14:42)
Yeah, because their cars are better. If the cars are better built, they're able to handle the course better. They're able to speed up. They're faster. I don't think it's just about the driver because you just said they're one and two most of the time, which means they're both doing it, which means their cars are probably superior than the other cars. And we saw with Ferrari that Ferrari's cars are not that great.

Arianna (14:53)
think they have a speed up button.

Olivia (15:01)
So

Arianna (15:09)
Yeah, because Ferrari has two number one drivers, McLaren has two number one drivers, Mercedes has one number one driver. Usually you're supposed to have a one, seat one and seat two. And the number one driver goes in seat one, and that's the driver that the team focuses on.

Olivia (15:33)
for Red Bull that's how they do it and they say the second seat is cursed at also speaking of Ferrari Hamilton was given a five-second penalty because in the last two laps or three laps his braking was like not working at all and that was like a hazard so he may be given a five-second penalty and last in the next race or maybe they took off time for his

performance today.

Arianna (16:05)
shouldn't be in the next race because it happened in this race.

Olivia (16:08)
Well, that's what they do because if they finish and they did something like bad, then they would like take give them a five second penalty for the next race.

Like that's what they just did. Like... Yeah.

Rudy (16:19)
⁓ got it.

All right, let's go on to the next topic, which is we're gonna talk about Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez's wedding. They got married last week. Ariana, go.

Arianna (16:34)
Thanks.

I didn't watch the wedding. I've only seen pictures on Instagram and from what I saw is that her wedding dress was really pretty and her hair was like she kind of resembled Snow White a little bit.

Rudy (16:55)
I did not, I saw only a couple pictures, but Olivia, do you know who was there? Which, you know, who the guests were?

Olivia (17:01)
Taylor Swift!

Rudy (17:05)
and

Olivia (17:05)
Taylor Swift

was a guest and I only know she was there. I didn't really like know about it until like yesterday.

Rudy (17:16)
Why am I hearing racing cars?

Arianna (17:19)
Yeah, I hear that too. well, the car show. They're probably leaving, maybe?

Olivia (17:19)
Yeah, me too.

Is there-

Rudy (17:22)
What? maybe people

are going to the car show outside. ⁓ Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco got married on the 27th of September in a private estate in Santa Barbara, California. Several close family and friends, including stars Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Martin Short and Steve Martin were there. Or to name a few. ⁓

The bride and the groom both wore Ralph Lauren.

It looks like she went through two dresses.

Olivia (18:09)
Yeah.

Rudy (18:09)
Now,

for some of you people out there, and you know who you are, Benny Blanco and Bad Bunny are not the same person.

Olivia (18:19)
Who mixes them up?

Arianna (18:21)
Wait, Yahoo!

Rudy (18:22)
There

are people out there that mix them up.

Olivia (18:24)
Yeah, this is her dress.

Arianna (18:25)
You wanna name some

names?

Rudy (18:26)
No, no, no, no, I'm not going to name any names, but you know who you are if you're listening. Now.

Olivia (18:30)
name? Who?

⁓ is it is it Cooper?

Rudy (18:35)
Now. Now.

Olivia (18:37)
and who?

Rudy (18:40)
All right, what our next topic is, Olivia. We talked about the race. We talked about Taylor Swift's new album, Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez. And now we're going on to.

Olivia (18:51)
road.

Rudy (18:54)
Okay, tell us about RØDE. What's going on with RØDE? Your favorite makeup, the makeup of... Who owns it? It's Haley Bieber. She owns RØDE and she sold it recently, but she's still part of it. What's going on with RØDE, Olivia? Break it down.

Olivia (18:57)
So.

Hailey Bieber.

So basically, Rode came out with these under eye patches which are like, okay from their Instagram it says they're peptide eye prep new hydrogel eye patches that wake up tired eyes and it's like, people say that it works well and that it's like really really good and like their packaging is really like nice like it's not like

clear. It's basically just like the eye shape and then on it, it's like gray and then in white writing it says like road road road. Like I'll show you. With like you could see.

And then today, I found out that they came out with these mini sets, which is two lip peptides, which is what is the raspberry one? It's the pink packaging with a gray packaging, lip peptide. I don't know the shades yet. And then it comes with a tiny, the milk glazing toner. So that's a set.

And I feel like that's nice if you want to get someone something for either Christmas, Hanukkah, or their birthday. And that's it with Road.

Rudy (20:38)
And Ariana, did you try on this road thing, makeup thing? don't know. don't know. To me, I'm the dad. I don't use road. don't just know I spend the money on the road. know Olivia has the case, the road. And that's all I know about road. that Hailey Bieber made a fortune on selling that thing.

Arianna (20:41)
No,

Well, you use eye patches.

Yeah, but what's it called? ⁓ You use, you use undried patches though.

Olivia (21:07)
You should, you should get them.

Rudy (21:07)
I do use it because as you

can see, I'm getting older in my age and I need it and I'm actually a little bit tired today so you could see under my eyes. I should probably use them right now. But they're not Rode.

Arianna (21:16)
Trust me. Me too.

Olivia (21:18)
I like

Arianna (21:22)
The other patchology.

Olivia (21:25)
you should get them and test them out to see if they work but I'm not sure if they're like reusable eye patches because I want to find out if they are because they only

Arianna (21:35)
Well, reusable

eye patches, I've had them and I'm not gonna lie, they're disgusting because everywhere they get more and more dirty, I'd rather have the disposable ones.

Olivia (21:45)
Yeah.

So let me find out right now.

Arianna (21:48)
Plus.

They're probably the disposable ones.

Rudy (21:52)
Well,

Olivia (21:54)
feel like they are. No, they're disposable.

Rudy (21:54)
the disposable ones are good, but are they... Are disposable ones more expensive than regular throwaway ones? I should know this.

Arianna (21:58)
Yeah.

⁓

I don't know because the reusable ones that I got were from Target so they only cost like 10 bucks but they were.

Olivia (22:12)
Let me see how much it costs on Sephora for Road.

Rudy (22:19)
What are you looking at? You're looking at the ones that just came out, how much they are.

Olivia (22:23)
So they don't have it on Sephora but I think they have it on their regular website and if you didn't know, Rode just got into Sephora so now they sell it but they don't sell the iPhone cases if you're looking for those. So you have to get it from their... ⁓

website. That's what I did last year.

Rudy (22:46)
So you can get the phone cases from directly from Rhodes website.

Olivia (22:51)
yes. Okay, R, you spell it R-H-O-D-E. Okay, so looking at their website,

Rudy (22:53)
How do you spell that for the people that don't know how to spell?

R-H-O-D-E

dot com, people.

Olivia (23:05)
Yes. Looking at their website, you could see that the eye patches, they are $25, but it comes with two packs, I believe.

of the under eye patches but when I looked at summer Fridays eye patches too, they are $24 but they come in a 6 pack while Rode comes in a 2 pack. So.

Rudy (23:36)
Interesting. So you get more bang for your buck with the other brand.

Olivia (23:37)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I feel like it's more... Yeah.

Rudy (23:42)
Okay.

Well, let's stick to the one with more. They probably do the same thing anyway, don't you think?

Olivia (23:53)
Yeah.

Rudy (23:53)
Don't you think? Yeah. All right. And Olivia, our last topic you just received from last the last episode, we were talking about Vogue with Lando Norris in it. And you finally received your Vogue copy. Is that right?

Olivia (24:12)
Yes, I received it yesterday and I was like screaming about it. was like if you look on the cover you could see that Rey is on the cover. If you didn't know Rey, she's friends with Lewis Hamilton. So anyways, when you turn, yes. Yes.

Rudy (24:26)
And Rae is a singer? Rae's a singer.

Is she a pop singer or what does she sing?

Olivia (24:34)
I feel like she does more jazz. Like let me see her, like.

Arianna (24:35)
Like, kind of pop?

Rudy (24:39)
Isn't that the one that

sounds kind of like Amy Winehouse?

Olivia (24:43)
Yes, I think so.

Arianna (24:46)
She's the one, do you papa, I don't know if you're on TikTok a lot, but like the one that's like, Olivia, help me out here.

Olivia (24:48)
Yeah, it's pop.

It's like, wait, which song are you talking about? Escapism or like her newer song?

Arianna (25:02)
I was trying to think of either. Escapism is a good one, but it's about being single. It's like... ⁓

Olivia (25:15)
She came out with a new song called Where is My Husband? because I don't know how old she is but she's not married so I think she made that song and I feel like it's really like jazz and also if you go to her concerts you can see that she doesn't play like for example some concerts they don't have like live bands there because she basically has like a full-on orchestra with her

and I feel like that's really different than like other.

Rudy (25:44)
So it sounds

like she's more like jazzy ⁓ Amy Winehouse type. Is she from the UK?

Arianna (25:54)
Yeah, I think so.

Olivia (25:54)
Yeah, because this

is British Vogue, so she is from the UK.

Rudy (25:59)
Okay, now back to Lando Norris, because that's originally who we're talking about. Tell us Lando Norris' spread.

Olivia (26:01)
So if you could see

So he had an interview and I read it yesterday and it says like how Landon Norris became like a really great F1 driver and like they were just talking about how he debuted his like first race when he was like 19 which is pretty young and they were talking about like how you know when you're gonna crash and he said you know when you're gonna crash at some point when you're on the limit trying to be the quickest and you can see like

the photoshoot that he also took with Ralph Lauren and Dochi Cabana.

Arianna (26:43)
Dolce & Gabbana.

Olivia (26:45)
Yeah, and it also mentions his ⁓ girlfriend, which is like new because some people think that they are PR. But like, I feel like now it's not because today during the race, they zoomed ⁓ Magui, Maggie Corsier. She's like from Spain.

Rudy (26:58)
What's his girlfriend's name?

Okay.

Olivia (27:10)
And so they zoomed in on her saying like her name and then it says like her job and then it says Linda Norris' partner. So I don't think it is PR, but it can be, but I don't think it is.

Rudy (27:23)
Well, originally when Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got together, everybody was saying that that was just for PR too. That that was a set up marriage.

Olivia (27:29)
Yeah.

Arianna (27:30)
It's when like two,

it's like when two really famous people get together, they're like, how does that even happen? It's probably PR.

Rudy (27:38)
Well, PR, yeah, or somebody introduced them and it's, know, in the past it's happened where two people, either one of them was coming out with a movie or a TV show and they needed some press. they, basically the PR agent was like, okay, you're gonna date this person and the news is gonna run with it and you're gonna get some, you know.

You're going to be in the news a lot and in papers and the magazines and online. And then that's going to set you up for your movie that's going to come out. So more people are going to go see your movie because they're more interested in you. That's how it used to work. I don't know if that they're still doing that is, I mean, it's still possible. Why would they stop? So if an artist has an album coming out, all of a you see them walking around with a famous actor then or vice versa, then you can maybe think, maybe that was a PR stunt.

Also, if you get the October edition of Vogue, you also get a notebook. I feel like it's a really nice notebook because it's small. And it's really cool because if you open it, it just says Vogue, so I feel like it's special. Yeah, and it's empty.

Rudy (28:32)
That's how used to work.

Ooooo

Great.

Great.

Olivia (28:54)
So, yeah.

All right, well, we're gonna wrap it up for this edition of Daddy's Girls. I know it was a short one, but we were missing Masha, and we have to go to check out this car show. ⁓ We're gonna let you know how the car show in, and for all you people, we love cars, and we hope you like cars too, but looking at all types of cars. All right, guys, it's a wrap. Say goodbye.
