Janie She was way more vulgar. You said be honest! Was that festival your scene or no?

[antoni morales]

A N T That's m'girl. Oh fuck no, I was mostly there for work. Was it yours?

[jane ridley]

Janie No, was there as a +1. My friend got paid to go and bring a friend so wasn't saying no to an Artist's pass and more time in New York. There were so many kids there. Like too many.

[antoni morales]

A N T If you ever need an excuse to be back here I've got plenty for ya. Yeah, real jailbait central. Don't think I'd go back. What kind of music are you into?

[jane ridley]

Janie Give me one, throw me a bone. R&B mostly, some EDM. H.E.R, SZA, Miguel some Rüfüs Du Sol. Frank Ocean when he's not ruining Coachella. The day we were there was kind of a hit for me but everyone was being annoying.

[antoni morales]

A N T Bodega Halloween party. Hot ticket but I know someone who works there, so you’d be in luck. This year’s Coachella sucked ass, it’s fallen off. But I’ll probably be there next year anyway, cucked by it.

[jane ridley]

Janie Hmm. That could persuade me if I'm able to get on that list. Just an influencer playground, and I say that with my best friend being an influencer. They can only go up from 2024, at least. Give me your dream headliners.

[antoni morales]

A N T I'll get you right to the top. Ohhh now there's a question. For me personally, I'd want Caribou, Lana, Arctic Monkeys, MF Doom (resurrected especially), Radiohead. It'd be a weird weekend but the best of all time.

[jane ridley]

Janie The world needs more weird weekends. I am one of those basic girls that says AM was life changing though and I stand by it. KPop? Can’t get into the hype.

[antoni morales]

A N T I prefer their earlier stuff but I respect it. I feel like I could get into KPop with enough practice, the girls are hot. Give me an unpopular opinion of yours. Can be about anything.

[jane ridley]

Janie They’re basically enslaved. Hmm. I think Harry Styles is overrated. Other ones, I think Ozempic skinny is worse than coke skinny. And I genuinely believe you can talk yourself into fucking literally anyone.

[antoni morales]

A N T Just how I like my women.  1. With you there. 2. Is there a difference? 3. OK, no way. You did a good job of tiering those with increasing levels of unpopularity, I'm impressed!

[jane ridley]

Janie That’s not very vanilla of you. Not really. Coke is gaunt but feels appropriate. Ozempic is like a deflated bobblehead, it’s jarring. You know me, aim to please. When was your last brutal hangover and what were you drinking?

[antoni morales]

A N T I'm something of a compulsive liar. The bobblehead thing is so real, UES women out here looking like lollipops. Żubrówka, one of my buddies managed to get some that wasn't the shit US version, it had real bison grass in it so I couldn't help myself. This time last week actually, happy anniversary to that hangover, I can still feel it. Let's imagine you find yourself in jail this time next year. What crime would you have committed to get there, if you had to guess?

[jane ridley]

Janie Multiply that x10 to anyone walking in Brentwood in the mornings. Hmm. Never had, sounds Polish and dangerous. I’d probably have been fucking someone’s husband, she finds out, pins me for credit card fraud when he lets me buy things. I like this question, what about you?
