Jay Shetty

And, and I honestly, I, we've only met briefly, but like the, the impact you've had on people proves that there's so much hard work, so much talent, such a gift, like so much, you know, because you can't have that.

people grew up watching a lot of people it doesn't mean that you carry that same impact so same back at you and uh it's um yeah it's it's something that's very visceral and in anyone that's followed you for a long time i wanted to jump into your album because i've been getting to listen to it which i've really enjoyed which has been so wonderful for me and i'm i'm very deep into because i love words and i love spoken word i love poetry i love i i took out some lyrics that really

I felt were beautiful and powerful.

So I may read your own lyrics back to you.

I can't sing them back to you because I can't sing to save my life, but I may read them back to you.

But I wanted to ask you about this one.

So you say in your song, Weather for Tennis, you write or you sing, I'm a seasoned apologist for the people who I love.

I'm an amateur psychologist, the key to everyone's handcuffs.

Keep the peace because I'm a kid of divorce and you're the starter of wars and there's no winning in yours.

Where does that show up in your life today?

Like, where did that come from and where does it show up?

I think you're spot on I think so many kids can feel like they were the peacemaker in their family I know plenty of people who've gone to therapy or talked about that with me and this idea of just they were the one trying to like calm everyone down and people have different versions of this right like you meet comedians who did it through making everyone laugh and then that becomes their journey and that's a very on the nose example but

All of us have played some sort of role of being mediators.

I often feel is that I do what I do today because I mediated my parents' marriage growing up.

And so I was the kid who was like at 10 years old, like listening to both sides and helping them connect and trying to find the points at which they could relate to each other.

And I don't regret doing that.

I'm actually very happy I did that.

It gave me great skills for life.

I gave up being the peacemaker of it when I became around 21.

So I remember that time vividly in my life.
