I love your car, though. It is so comfortable.

Oh, always. That is if you don’t have a date which you should because, hello, you’re awesome.

[siriusmelanie]

...Yeah, I guess it is. I complain about it a lot, but I'll probably miss it when I finally get a new one.

Nope, no date-- I fly solo because I'm cool like that. But going with you is way cooler so yeah, it's happening. Parker's just gonna have to move aside.

[jillian--dawson]

Yeah, I’m always playing it in the car. Way better than the radio.

Oh, yeah, I did. Thank you. There’s always the next dance. You’ll have to come and dance with me.

[siriusmelanie]

A hundred times better. I just wish I didn't have a super old car. I don't have bluetooth or an auxiliary cable on mine, kinda sucks.

Are you asking me to be your date, Jill? I'm flattered.

[jillian--dawson]

Well, the Spotify app is free now so you can listen on your phone but the ads do get annoying. I can only hear about Squarespace so much, y’know?

[siriusmelanie]

Wait, what? It's free on mobile now? That's pretty awesome. I think it's still worth it, though.

So I heard you won something the other night. I'm sorry I wasn't there to see it. Congrats!

[jillian--dawson]

I always say I am going to get premium but I never do.

[siriusmelanie]

It's worth it. No ads on desktop, and you can listen on mobile-- plus you can download playlists on your phone for when you don't have service. Totally worth every penny.

[jillian--dawson]

Yeah, that’d be great. I am always looking for new things on there.

[siriusmelanie]

Me too. I love Spotify so much. It's even worth it to pay for premium.

[jdahls-deactivated20140201]

Fuck that shit, I ain’t a nerd, no matter what those litte mathle— I ain’t a nerd.

Damn, sweetheart, you’re harsh as fuck, yeah I wanna hear it, s’why I asked.

[siriusmelanie]

What were you gonna say? Mathlete? What's that got to do with anything?

Alright, I'll send it to you. But you have to play it for Tilly, period.

[jdahls-deactivated20140201]

Nah, what, I’m not a closet anything, I ain’t a nerd.

Shit, c’mon, don’t be like that, how about you play it for me and then I play it for Til? What makes you think I don’t have good taste.

[siriusmelanie]

Right. You think immediately of a video game character when I mention "Woodkid" and that isn't geeky at all. Jackson Dahl is a total nerd.

I'm not saying you have bad taste. I just have better taste. You really want to hear it?

[jdahls-deactivated20140201]

What?

Yeah, yeah, c’mon, show me some Woodkid.

[siriusmelanie]

Nothing. I just didn't know you were a closet geek.

You'll have to look it up on your own. Play it for Tilly-- I bet she'll love it, even if you don't. She has good taste.

[teddywheeler]

In that case, thank you. I’ll be here all week. And probably for all eternity. That is a challenge and usually I would take it, but if there’s even the slightest chance I may lose I know better.

[siriusmelanie]

You don't think you'll hit it big in the popsicle stick industry? I hear there's a lot of competition.

I took karate lessons for years. You would definitely lose.

[jdahls-deactivated20140201]

I’m not makin’ fun of anything, just wonderin’ what kind of name that is. I feel like dude probably dresses up like Link and dances around with those reed pipe things. Hey, don’t diss him, just pretend that whole Snoop Lion thing never happened.

[siriusmelanie]

Like Link, hm?

I'm not necessarily dissing him. I'm just saying that there are much worse stage names out there besides Woodkid. A lot worse.

[jdahls-deactivated20140201]

I could totally be a fan of Wood…kid, no seriously the fuck kinda name is Woodkid? Nah, I’m not gonna make fun of me, what kinda guy do you take me for?

[siriusmelanie]

See, you're already making fun of it. His real name is Yoann Lemoine, actually, and he's a brilliant musician. The stage names in other genres are way worse than Woodkid. Seriously. Snoop Lion?

[jdahls-deactivated20140201]

I don’t fuckin’ know. Wood…kid. Lucky guess, don’t ask me.

Sounds…weird. Show me some.

[siriusmelanie]

Then you understand my surprise. I'm not gonna show you some if all you'll do is make fun of it.

[teddywheeler]

You better not be hating on popsicle stick jokes, they’re fantastic. I will fight you on this.

[siriusmelanie]

I'm totally not hating, it was a legitimate compliment. You couldn't take me if you tried, though.

[jillian--dawson]

Oh. That actually sounds interesting.

[siriusmelanie]

It's another level of music, I think. He ties in a lot of depth. I'll send you a link on spotify sometime, if you want.

[jdahls-deactivated20140201]

Don’t sound so fuckin’ surprised, sweetheart.

What’s that sound like?

[siriusmelanie]

Yeah, but how'd you gather that?

You know-- it's experimental folk music. This guy has an entire orchestra behind some of his songs. It's really beautiful, actually.

[teddywheeler]

I prefer Woody the Woodpecker. He’s got some sick beats. Or should I say, sick beaks.

[siriusmelanie]

Wow. You should write jokes for popsicle sticks.
