Today, I finally got to sit down and talk with my friend Julian aka The Cozy Representative on Youtube and we talk about how despite not understanding or agreeing with it, music is somehow or at least was when we grew up, gendered and we talk about how we both grew up thinking we didn't belong in the spaces we loved so much because how the music we loved was packaged to us and how despite that we learned not to let it define how we digested and listened to it.

Today, I went through my Twitter bookmarks after being on a break and I talked about the deal with Manchester Pride and Ariana Grande, the ridiculous merch Chris B*own made, I went on a rant about minding your business about celebrity relationships and how I feel about the toxicity of wanting to know about things that don't concern us, and a quick recap of the Oscar highlights.

Today, one of my closest friends joins me for the first time on Rebel Hearts, founding member of the movie gang, Chad! Chad and I have a long history of watching movies together from living the Movie Pass (R.I.P) dream, to expanding our friendship across state lines.

Today, Pat and I talk about the Oscars, which is very funny because this year we saw maybe 3 of the movies nominated this year. We also talked about The Grammy winners and disagreed on a lot of things. Basically, justice for Gritty, and thank GOD "This is America" got what it deserved. Music Featured: Fletcher "Undrunk" (On Spotify and Itunes) Intro Song: Ariana Grande "Imagine"

Happy 2019! Today, I talk about "Surviving R. Kelly", Drake and why we should unstan, how the weeknd made a poor choice with his new song, all the beef surrounding "7 rings" and musicians being at the mercy of their mental health.

**AT ONE POINT I SAY DEMI LOVATO PRESENTED HAYLEY KIYOKO WITH HER BILLBOARD AWARD. IT WAS LAUREN JAUREGUI! THAT WAS MY MISTAKE AND THERE ARE TOO MANY FILES FOR ME TO FIX THE EPISODE BUT IT IS NOT DEMI LOVATO!** Today, is episode 50 of Rebel Hearts. Wow. I had Pat by my side as we talked about a lot of things. Ariana Grande in general but the Thank U, Next video, the really poorly written article (now taken down) about how she was anti queer, anti trans, and her "heterosexual narrative", her being told she's milking Mac Miller's death, and her Billboard "Woman of the Year" speech. We also talked about the 2019 Grammy nominations and it's diversity (finally) and why I think some of the noms were strange. We also talked about Poppy and Grimes and also touched on Matty Healy's comment about how there isn't misogyny in rock n roll and then his apology. Thank you for 50 episodes. Here's to more.

Today, Pat and I talked about Kanye and how we are tired of "celebrities" jamming their MAGA agenda down our throats when all we are trying to do is survive this shitty political climate, why we still don't support Azalea Banks, and how Lana Del Rey remains one of our favorites. Music Featured: Adrianne Lenker "Out of your Mind" (https://www.adriannelenker.com/) (https://adriannelenker.bandcamp.com/)

Today, I got the chance to interview Aaron Weiss of the band mewithoutYou on their set of their upcoming video for their new song "Julia" that will be on the record that will be out everywhere by the time this episode comes out. I have been a fan of them for over 8 years now and I sat down to ask him about if being in a band for almost 20 years has broken or healed him, the new record, if he ever questions the lyrics he writes, and I also ask all about his collaboration with Paramore on the track "No Friend" and how he got involved and how trying to write from the point of view of someone so adored scared him. Music Featured: Becca Mancari "Good Woman" (http://www.beccamancari.com/)(https://www.facebook.com/Beccamancarimusic/)

Today, Cait is back again (or just another episode since this was the same day) and we talk about everywhere in Nashville we think you should visit, our trip, hanging out for the first time, and I touch on Ariana Grande getting blamed for leaving Mac Miller and being blamed for his tragic passing. Apologies for the echo, our Airbnb space where we recorded was wide open and the sound just kept bouncing and it doesn't help I project. Music Featured: Nightingail "Missing You" (https://nightingailmusic.bandcamp.com/)
