02 Apr 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What does Genevieve Schatz do beyond music?

0.605 - 26.612 David Farrier

We're going to start with a very simple question. Okay. I'd just love to know your name and in your own description of yourself what it is that you do.

0

26.896 - 29.182 Genevieve Schatz

My full name is Genevieve Schatz.

0

29.202 - 29.503 David Farrier

Great name.

0

29.703 - 61.122 Genevieve Schatz

Thank you. I am a human woman mother of two young children. Currently, the things that I'm doing include... meditating writing music poetry singing um giving clairvoyant readings as a psychic um yeah an intuitive clairvoyant person i also am studying child development

0

61.102 - 64.088 David Farrier

Oh my God, these are so many things. This is a big list.

64.629 - 72.864 Genevieve Schatz

I'm also starring in a play that my mom just wrote that is getting a world premiere in Carpinteria.

72.884 - 73.846 David Farrier

Oh, that's really cute.

73.966 - 75.128 Genevieve Schatz

As Cinderella.

75.277 - 77.82 David Farrier

Is it a very serious play or a lighthearted play?

Chapter 2: How did Genevieve transition into clairvoyance?

96.28 - 100.845 David Farrier

Not to go too behind the scenes, but how long have you known this man for, roughly? Wow.

0

101.332 - 104.196 Genevieve Schatz

Probably almost 20 years.

0

104.236 - 104.697 David Farrier

Oh my God.

0

105.198 - 105.458 Genevieve Schatz

Yeah.

0

105.899 - 122.222 David Farrier

I don't want to go too far down this path, but I'm curious. Has he changed a lot over that time or is it the same? Because in New Zealand, we always have this insult like you've changed. Whereas obviously we all change. Right. But I always find it so funny thinking about people that have known each other for a long time, if they have changed.

122.583 - 129.293 Genevieve Schatz

I would say that the essence of Rob is so purely still the same.

129.493 - 130.815 David Farrier

Yeah. He's still Rob.

131.015 - 148.787 Genevieve Schatz

Yeah, it's just like, Rob, you've changed in the sense that you've expanded your capacity to offer your resources and help. You know, it's like you've always been somebody who...

148.767 - 176.04 Genevieve Schatz

wanted to champion the best in people and like bring out their gifts and um support people you know just kind of sharing this but you're so right sharing their gifts and um you know you've changed in the sense that like somehow you've become more available to more people and i've experienced this but he's helped me so much here yes it's insane this is exactly what this is what he does yes

Chapter 3: What does clairvoyance mean and how does it work?

225.645 - 225.865 Unknown

Yes.

0

226.466 - 227.847 David Farrier

Okay. But back at you. Okay.

0

227.827 - 230.972 Rob

Genevieve was in a band called Company of Thieves at that time.

0

230.992 - 231.473 Unknown

There we go.

0

231.874 - 246.257 Rob

I remember the first time I saw you sing was at the Union in Naperville. Is that Chicago? Outside of Chicago. And then we went for ice cream afterwards.

246.322 - 249.873 Genevieve Schatz

Was that a mint chip day or like a chocolate chip cookie dough day?

250.053 - 251.939 David Farrier

I love mint chip. It's the best flavor.

252.481 - 252.762 Genevieve Schatz

Me too.

253.183 - 256.573 David Farrier

Yeah, it's the best one. Controversial. Some people think it tastes like toothpaste. I agree.

Chapter 4: How does childhood influence clairvoyant abilities?

303.651 - 303.932 Genevieve Schatz

Okay.

0

303.952 - 305.113 Rob

It's very Chicago.

0

305.134 - 318.432 David Farrier

I know instantly what it is. I feel like looking at that tin, I feel like there's some kind of cookie. That's what that says to me as a New Zealander. I see a tin like that, and it's usually like a Christmas cookie that comes out.

0

318.412 - 322.618 Genevieve Schatz

Well, one third of it will have the sweetness of a cookie.

0

322.738 - 328.706 David Farrier

Okay. Is it like a cake, cookie, a chip? I don't know. I don't know.

328.746 - 329.567 Genevieve Schatz

Well.

330.408 - 332.911 David Farrier

But it's fucking massive. Whatever it is.

333.152 - 339.34 Genevieve Schatz

It's popped corn. So people in Chicago will line up around the block.

339.708 - 343.836 David Farrier

This is a giant vat of three different flavors of popcorn?

Chapter 5: What are the different types of clairvoyant abilities?

356.319 - 367.14 Genevieve Schatz

Yes, since the 40s. And family owned. They bake small batches fresh and then they send it to you like the day that they make it.

0

367.16 - 368.402 David Farrier

I mean, the smell is amazing.

0

368.462 - 368.662 Genevieve Schatz

Good.

0

368.762 - 373.808 David Farrier

It's very fresh. Do you have a preference on the flavor in here?

0

373.968 - 374.869 Genevieve Schatz

I like all three.

375.33 - 376.111 David Farrier

Yeah, you got a mix.

376.131 - 381.057 Genevieve Schatz

The classic Chicago mix is- This classic over here? The caramel with the cheddar.

381.737 - 384.18 David Farrier

Oh, over here. Wow. Yes. So what have I just had? This one?

384.2 - 384.881 Genevieve Schatz

That's the buttery.

Chapter 6: How does Genevieve incorporate clairvoyance into her music?

443.95 - 446.817 Genevieve Schatz

They use it for decorative purposes.

0

446.797 - 448.019 David Farrier

So say again, decorative?

0

448.059 - 450.082 Genevieve Schatz

Yeah, like the natives.

0

450.863 - 451.164 David Farrier

Oh, right.

0

451.304 - 454.549 Genevieve Schatz

Yeah, all kinds of stuff. It's sewn into headdresses.

455.27 - 457.633 David Farrier

Holy shit, that sweet guy, that caramel.

458.294 - 459.356 Genevieve Schatz

It's so good, right?

459.376 - 462.04 David Farrier

Caramel popcorn? Not caramel popcorn that's good.

463.382 - 480.134 Genevieve Schatz

But yeah, I was thinking about how in modern day US, popcorn is always just like, entertain me. You know, oh, ha ha, I'm going to sit back and like observe, you know, I'm going to be passively observing this thing while I'm just crunching away.

Chapter 7: What is the process of giving clairvoyant readings?

574.357 - 577.564 Genevieve Schatz

I think it's...

0

577.544 - 592.38 David Farrier

Now wait, just before we get into the clairvoyance, tell me a little bit about how you got into music. Was that, because we're going to hear some songs from you shortly, but was that like from deep-rooted childhood or did it come later?

0

592.715 - 597.563 Genevieve Schatz

My earliest memories are just listening to vinyl records on my dad's Victrola speaker.

0

597.583 - 598.725 David Farrier

What bands?

0

598.925 - 613.33 Genevieve Schatz

The Beatles, the Beach Boys, jazz, lots of jazz, like Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald and even, you know, getting into like Nina Simone and yeah.

613.35 - 617.777 David Farrier

And were you sort of singing along or? Always, definitely.

617.892 - 633.69 Genevieve Schatz

My dad, when he was younger, he helped build the radio station at his high school that is like still up and running today. And he was a DJ on a radio station called Q101, which was like the alternative rock station in Chicago.

633.67 - 635.132 David Farrier

Oh, so your dad was like, cool.

635.492 - 635.753 Genevieve Schatz

Yes.

Chapter 8: How has Genevieve's clairvoyance affected her personal relationships?

742.834 - 743.155 Genevieve Schatz

Yeah.

0

743.475 - 745.538 Rob

Which even broke like...

0

745.518 - 774.63 Genevieve Schatz

the conventions even more that's true and people would have a hard time kind of knowing how to actually just receive what was happening like they would often be like there's a couple of females i can think of to compare her to and they would just drop like you know the number one you know ones that were playing on the radio at the time and and i'd always think like i'm nothing i don't sound like them yeah they're wonderful yeah but that's not me yeah did you enjoy pushing through that or was it a pain in the ass

0

774.914 - 794.29 Genevieve Schatz

I think I hurt myself physically to try to push through that, actually. Yeah, I think I tried to sing harder and longer and louder. And I think I was afraid to actually be vulnerable enough to show my gentle vibration.

0

794.489 - 807.083 Rob

But I will say, her on stage was so captivating. Yeah. Like, you would control the entire room when you were up there singing. It was a special thing to see.

807.123 - 812.709 David Farrier

Yeah, I've seen videos on YouTube. I haven't seen you perform live before, but yeah, I completely see that.

813.229 - 820.277 Genevieve Schatz

Yeah, no, it was a wonderful experience. And I think it was the only way that it could have gone. It was...

821.084 - 846.906 Genevieve Schatz

amazing to grow up in chicago and to have a rock band and to play those venues and to also ride the wave and get out of the city you know for being on tour and um just going around and sharing music and having that be a way to have a conversation with someone or break the ice with someone and totally did you make it to down under to new zealand and australia not yet

846.886 - 849.53 David Farrier

Okay, it's still going to happen. That would be awesome. We'll sort it out.
