Jack Antonoff episode!

Hey everyone! I wanted to dive this week into Jacky boy because with his recent attached-at-the-hip-ness with Taylor Swift and Lana del Rey (and rumors of his affair with Lorde when he was dating Lena Dunham) I thought he could be a good juicy deep dive for this week. Enjoy!! And if anyone has listened to Bleachers, let me know...do you like them?

The chokehold that the “some nights-intro” had on me in high school was unmatched… also you should check out I Wanna Get Better by the bleachers!!

Big Bleachers fan. I listened to them before I really got into Taylor Swift and honestly, part of the reason I like her new stuff is because it has the same sound as Bleachers. So I'm one of the few that's not tired of it. 😂 Also, I've seen Bleachers perform at festivals and they give a great show. One set they were super late to, they were very apologetic to the crowd and it was one of my favorite live performances I've seen. Love them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mIqkZ2PRoM very pointed and scolding speech when you look at it in that light - also, apparently Charli's doing drugs was an issue on this tour.

Kylee P

Charli and Taylor have beef because when she was opening for her Rep Tour Charli said that it felt like performing for a bunch of 5 year olds. After that, Taylor did a speech at her tour where she lowkey addresses it saying we never thought we'd be performing in arenas THIS BIG and we wouldn't be able to do that if not for the fans. Their interactions together especially when performing shake it off make it clear Charli doesn't like her

Kylee P

It's so backwards but I actually started listening to Bleachers in 2017 before I realized he was a producer for Taylor (I was BEHIND I know 😆) but genuinely liked their Gone Now album. Let's Get Married will probably play before my wedding lolol and I cried to I Missed Those Days on the way home from college that summer 🥲

E_Gayton

I was at this Superjam too!

Mary C.

Yesssss I would love a Margaret qualley episode! She is so intriguing and so so beautiful 😍

Rebecca

Agree! That’s one of my favorites and the music video is awesome too

Shannon Tarwater

Not the juices 😩

Hannah

came here to say this😂

Emma

This is fully not related to this ep (it was great tho!), but I saw Shannon post on Tik tok about Emily Mariko and people saying she’s a trad wife. I agree that she’s definitely not a trad wife, and I also agree she gets a lot of unwarranted hate. But I saw a small creator say this in a vid regarding her new tote bags. He basically said he isn’t a fan of Emily Mariko because she treats her followers more like fans to be commodified than trying to build community among her platform. I thought it was an interesting perspective, and although I know that is not at the heart of all the hate she gets, I think it’s a good explanation why as a major creator she can seem somewhat off putting. Seems like a stark contrast to how Shannon treats her fan base. No hate either way.

Lee

don’t take the money by bleachers has Lorde’s vocals in it! it’s a good song

Jane Singer

i listen to bleachers on the same level i listen to taylor swift and since before he even started working with her !!! i assure you there are many of us out here ;)

Ruth

big bleachers, lorde and Lana fan here! find it interesting a lot of people have somewhat bad vibes from Jack (not terribly bad but just dont like him/his work that much. Ive always just got good vibes idk .... dating Lena Dunham was a red flag tho

Sydney Smith

Bruh I was the one to breakup with my last bf but it was after he was going out every night for like a month instead of *coming straight home to me* (😂) so yeah I couldn’t agree more with the point you made at the beginning lol

Annie

Second this! His brings such raw energy to his bleachers shows and the crowd is always such a good vibe

Nicole Shannon

omg i remember that power point!!!! i think i bought that one and the pete davidson & ariana grande timeline powerpoint from the creator’s patreon in 2018

ali

Eagerly awaiting the ‘You can always sell puss’ FF merch 😅

Katie Stephens

Oooo I’d be super interested to hear your experience with Ashwagandah!

Landon

I'm Irish and live in the US, worked in the music industry, in the US they have no ticket pricing / reselling laws, they (ticketmaster) set prices here based on demand, that's why they fluctuate in price so much! In the EU they have ticketing laws, which means that tickets have a set price, they cannot be sold at fluctuating prices based on demand. So the artist probably has a price let's say $80 that goes directly to them / their costs. Ticketmaster will then take the other let's say $120 on a $200 ticket. Also yes bands make a lot of their money on merch, their ticket prices usually go towards costs and usually smaller artists will never make any money on ticket sales!

Kim McCarthy

huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge bleachers girlie here

Siena

Big Sur 🫶🏻

Interesting_Dream_Al

Shannon, love the ep! I’m a clinical herbalist, PLEASE reach out if you ever want to do a consultation! Ashwaghanda is great but there may be herbs better suited to you specifically :)

Katie

I don’t listen to Taylor swift and I am a Lana fan. I have never heard these songs compared BUT UR RIGHT!!! It’s annoying bc TS is quite litigious when it comes to this kinda thing when it’s the reverse

Bunny

Oh my goodness. Feel like this is a long time coming! What a great idea for an episode. PS. Thank you for your input on starting a podcast. So insightful!

Jacqueline

I’m not a Bleachers/Jack fan, but fun. hits so hard!!!! 😭 He hosted the Bonnaroo Superjam in 2022(?), and he rocked it. It was a bunch of 80s covers with a lineup of other artists at the festival like Japanese Breakfast. And then he brought on Carly Rae Jepson who wasn’t even performing at the festival, just a special guest. And she slayed

Skylar Little

My partner is a musician in a band with a strong following. They make the majority of their money from merch.

Dumb Bastard

“i thought that i was gay, i thought that i was straight, i was SH-ing at the time…” are u sure you’re not talking about me? 🤣 you’re so on the money from the beginning, teenage hormones are so isolating!

Elizabeth Nunez

I would consider myself a wellness girly, and I have taken ashwaganda consistently before! It puts you in such a good mood, and makes you kind of giggly. But you’re just in a good mood all the time. I like to cycle it out, so stop for two weeks, take it for a month, do that over again. It’s great

Sydney

Right?! But you go ahead sue someone else for sounding like ‘your’ song. We see you. 😎

SOL88

i know it might just be me cause i am a fan lol but i really don’t think you have to apologize for talking about taylor or try to talk about her less — she’s very popular and is very intertwined with the music industry!

Savannah Martin

Love the bleachers! You gotta be in the mood for it tho I think cause it’s definitely a specific vibe

Michaela

Lana doesn’t have family money so I think that blind is also wrong. Lana is so old Hollywood so I could see her having relations with Harvey Weinstein but not yatching. The only big boat I could see Lana on is the titanic. So poetic and devastating 😂🤣

Angelyca Violet

Huge bleachers/Jack fan! It’s definitely music for a fan of 80s music there’s heavy synths and big drums in the old stuff and now he’s onto more of a band and Springsteen kind of vibe but I love his lyrics and sound. To Taylor fans trying to get rid of Jack, Taylor isn’t forced to work with him. That is obviously the sound she wants to create. I think some swifties will do anything not to point a disappointed finger at her.

Mariah Lawrence

The international tickets were definitely more affordable, my lower bowl ticket was £130 and nosebleeds were £95

Bronagh

I hated Fun but I honestly love “Don’t Take the Money” and “I miss those days” by Bleachers but those are literally the only two songs I like.

Silas Pulliam

Oh also! I started taking Ashwaganda in may2022 and it took maybe 3 months to start working for me and then I noticed oh hey I wasn’t anxious spiraling anymore and then it continued working well for me until last month. It takes awhile but make sure you’re getting it from a good source

RJ

Also not to be a hater but the moment Jack and Taylor have a falling out you know he’s gonna become a “source” like he just gives that vibe

RJ

It’s always shocking to me that Jack isn’t a gay man. His music is mid. As I’ve said somewhere he gives tailcoat riding theatre kid energy

RJ

You’re the only person whose solo episodes are as good/ if not better than interview/duo eps. Obsessed

Alex 😇

This episode was everything to me, I am so into the Jack x Lorde conspiracy (it doesn’t even feel like a conspiracy anymore, in my mind it’s confirmed). Random but is there any tea/info about Austin Swift? A mini ep maybe??

Alex 😇

the comment he made about smaller artists is more accurate than you’d think! even if you’re a solo artist you have to pay a band, a touring manager/booking agent, roadies, a cut to the venue plus food and gas. the overhead costs for new artists mean you’re usually operating at a loss 😬 even a bigger indie band (animal collective) had to cancel their tour recently bc of it. plus you’re only making like .000003 cents a stream while shirts are $2 to make and $25ish to sell! i’m a small artist but i don’t tour bc i don’t have the financial wiggle room. very discouraging for people who have always dreamed of a music career. imo its why nepo babies are so prevalent in the industry nowadays. its probably easier for them to write music if they don’t have to worry about making rent

Alex

What is the name of the podcast you mention about lorde and Jack?

Audrey Lopez

i use to listen to Bleachers and i liked them but i LOVED Fun!! Fun’s debut album (the one that Some Nights is on) is SOO GOOD!! everyone please do ur thursday night a favor and go listen rn!!🚨‼️

Riley

I love Bleachers!!!! I’ve been listening to their original single for over a decade now ❤️❤️

Finnegan C

I’m so obsessed with your show just FYI. Your voice is also so soothing

Tiffany Yochum

I love Bleachers!!

Christina

I'm half way through the episode but I wanted to let you know that I was listening to a podcast this week called How Did we get weird? and they were talking about Herbs. From what I gathered it's basically like a person who for example could be a fan of something and then you would say that you're a fan too and would want to quiz you on the trivia to prove you're an actual fan. And they are smug about knowing the trivia and gets upset that you don't know it, like it's common knowledge. I hope this helps. I've never heard about herbs before until this week lol.

Dulce Soto

Omg I’m so excited I’ve been waiting for this one

Valeria Miranda

I like the bleachers! I personally love the album “Gone Now”. It has a cool York vibe that I think is signature Jack. I feel it's really different from Taylor. Tbh, I think he newer stuff keeps getting worse or at least I don't vibe with it as must as his previous stuff. But maybe it's because he's so busy he's sacrificing his own art??

Mary Kate Jollymore

scooters version tracks that I listen to : speak now (entire album), 1989, you belong with me, holy ground, I knew you trouble. The old versions are just better tbh

taylorslikeumwife

upon actually listening, as a big bleachers fan, there’s not a lot of us but we’re die hard. I’ve seen them live twice so far and I swear he has a better stage presence than Taylor.

emmaline kitzmiller

Omg I had never heard that Lana del Rey song and holy shit it is exactly like wildest dreams

Andrea Garcia

Thanks for posting this just as I started making dinner! Sometimes I think I’m the only one who adores, “Gold Rush,” so I’m glad you do too. Jack is super talented, but I’d love it if Taylor worked with Mark Ronson, even if it’s only one song! I think they’d make an amazing song.

Lily

Shannon your timing is perfect😩attempting to write my dissertation and I needed something to listen to (in London so I thought I’d have to wait hours)🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Ellie

Damn...I'm always hoping there's one supplement out there that will be a miracle cure lol!

Shannon McNamara

I’ve been consistently taking ashwagandha since I heard about it on TikTok and I’ve noticed no difference. I’m on my second bottle and I will keep taking it but yeah…

Pel

Now why the hell would I jack Anton off I don’t know him like that

Mia

this is the first time i’ve been really scared to listen to an ep. pls don’t ruin my fav
