What is it in this one's love's life? Makes it all worthwhile. It's the small thing the big thing the humor profundity that I notice go root around it. Mess around it, figure it out, it's poking around.
Hi pokers and jokers. I have something to say right at the beginning. Oh, go, go. Olivia Rodrigo.
It's stuck in my head right now. We do now. I You guys, we're Olivia Rodrigo fans.
I that's something about us. I love Olivia Rodrigo that if Olivia Rodrigo had been making music when we were teenage girls. Oh, you guys are if you're a teenage girl.
Or you're if you're like her age and you're growing up with her, she were like Lorde kind of for us.
I didn't eat I only actually recently Me too. became a big Lord fan.
Probably in the last like year. Yeah. I really like listened to melodrama.
Me too. Wait, did we do that independently of each other? I think so. I got really into melodrama specifically in the last year. It's so good. You know why? Because we saw John Proctor as the villain.
Oh yes. That's that's completely what turned out
And that song, they play Gri Lord's song Greenlight, it at the very end of John Proctor is the villain, which is the best play of all time. And Hannah and I saw it on Broadway. And then I was like, you know what? Why have I not engaged with this girl's music? It really lit me up when I saw it in that play. And then I became a Lord fan, basically.
I know Lorde is great. And Olivia Rodrigo is like a Lord um child. Like she loves Lorde. She loves Lorde. Praise Lord.
Okay, great. Well that was just the part up top where I wanted to. Um Stupid Song. Me and that song are like like I'm like that will be my top laid song of the year for sure.
Fried like oh I like welled up when I I first heard it. I was like, this chorus is amazing.
I can't believe that song didn't exist until just now.
I know I'm like, pulled something best with the song.
Yeah. And I like of course the singles that she had released.
Yeah, those are good.
And you know what? Honeybee grew on me. I really like that too. And I like Maggots for Brains. The first four songs I've just been wearing out basically. Over and over. Start back over. Start back over.
I really am the more I listen, the more I'm just like I love This is really good. Top to bottom, it's really good. Yeah. She did a great job. I love her. She's awesome.
I just love her. I know. And she says the right stuff too. Like every time I hear her speak, I'm like, yeah. That was right. We should have her on the pod. Oh my god. Olivia Rodrigo, you'd be an amazing guest on poking around. This is maybe our official. I think she really gets the overlap between poetry and comedy. Yeah. Cause she's kind of like a funny, silly girl.
She would be perfect. But she writes to have her songs. We would love to have her. She writes the song less. Which I thought was beautiful. That's what I was listening to when I walked in here. Oh my god. I was listening to You're In My Way Now. You know that one?
It is very like a girl.
Seems like some girls came from my man.
Yeah. I don't even care what she's saying. I just like love it in my head. Okay, great. Uh next next.
Let's start the podcast.
Yeah. Okay. So this is a poetry comedy podcast run by two girls who love a Olivia Rodrigo. And we are both professional poets and amateur comedians, and we are interested in the the The overlap between writing jokes and writing poems.
We're interested in how you kind of use a side door of language to observe things. One of the side doors is called poetry. There's a different one called jokes. Yeah. There's a different side door probably called Music.
Music. Yeah. And then there's another side door called Theater.
And then there's a back door called dance. And you shake your butt as your back door.
Um yeah, but we had an idea a while ago that was basically like, what if you took the same idea and you wrote a poem with it and then you wrote a joke with it and then we started this podcast and now we're still doing the podcast and we hope that you like it. Oh here's the other thing we have to say before we get really started. Shout out, hugest shout out in the world to our listener, Bridget.
