Met my match for sidewalks listening

You overestimate how many notifications I get.

Thank you for saying AI is useful for accessibility!! I really wish AI creators would emphasize this instead of trying to tell people it’s amazing at everything. It’s really not.

As someone from Tucson, which is not as conservative as the rest of the state nor as hot as Phoenix or Lake Havasu, Arizona feels like you're stranded here, even despite the fact I could leave, I know people who have, I wonder if it's a result of being in the desert I have friends from Nevada that have similar feelings about their state

it's hilarious to me that the auto-caption hears Wonderful Christmas Time and captions it "*outro music*"

I just listened to my Spotify podcast because of this, and it have the nerve to actively shade me for listening to Ethel Cain ("you really connected to ECs music, she has such a distinct sound -pause- it's not for everyone") but it doesnt know I'm in the southern hemisphere - talking ab an autuminal cosy September/October my guy.
Levahi Nui
same!!

literally got a news notification informing me that jimmy carter has passed away as you guys begin to discuss jimmy carter
Missy Story
I fell behind and watched these newest to oldest, and was sooo confused when you first mentioned Todd and Fabian 😂 Then you mentioned it not being out yet if people were watching it live haha.

oh and shout out tech n9ne. kcmo represent

remember when motion sensors for paper towel/soap dispensers and faucets first started popping up everywhere and they forgot to make sure they worked for black people too?
Giselle Nunez
Still Woozy was my top artist too 🥹🥹 except with 3423 minutes LMAOO
Kara H Wright
'Wonderful Christmas Time' is such a weird fucking song and I love it!
Lee U
My dad has an Abby Road album from the beatles fan club per-release lol
simo_900
Also love the Cult of the Lamb OST, its so distinctive
Amelia
I was so confused at what Jordans foot was in the bottom right hand corner around 2 mins
Kristin Barrick-Shisler
You’ve got to search for Harmontown and Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas time. The cohost goes off on a rant about it nearly bar by bar. My husband and I play it every Christmas. The rant, that is.

Jarvis, I am absolutely a slave to my notifications & I blame Jiminey's Journal in Kingdom Hearts for being the reason why!
Lily Delphia
(Literally repeating a thing my music teacher said to me in fourth grade 🤣)

It’s not offbeat - it’s syncopated

WatchMojo did a great vid on the things we don’t know about MC’s Christmas song… I did not know she originally turned down even doing it in the first place
gustopher
god im obsessed with that ringo video now. love how he casts "peace and love" like a spell

Damon lives in my neighbourhood, I've seen him 4 times in the grocery store
Cane.shuga
Absolutely same 😭

I used to be a manager at kohls and hearing watermelon sugar by Harry 10 times a shift, made me want to commit
Sav
I absolutely cannot stand having nottifications, I like it being clean. My boyfriend is a music artist and his notification wall triggers me

just checked in on michael bublés spotify and he has actually continued to release pop music, he dropped a single this year called dont blame it on me. apparently.

nope! I became a social worker & work with kids in mental health… all presidents by default are war criminals, but we can also understand the duality with him as a role model. He was the first president that wasn’t a white guy and gave me home that I could be president as someone who’s not a white dude. He also passed the Affordable Care Act & Legalized gay marriage across the US…. Not everything is black & white
Jerrielle2001
did you also commit war crimes?
nyxie
similar but one of mine was organizing my photos into their specific folders for years. I think I gradually got super exhausted of it but it still bothers me daily
nyxie
my spotify AI podcast kept calling me Zane. that's not my name I don't know why it was doing that edit: my full legal first name is Zane+(another syllable) but usually things will try to pronounce it all even if it's wrong. not just ZANE
Ratprints
same, I've been using modes on my phone to do this so different ones appear at different times
Ratprints
thanks. any advice on working in it?
electric_claire
I also have OCD and used to do this. You can get through it!

I was obsessed with obama in 5th grade. like would wear obama socks to the point the bottoms wore out so I wore them over other socks & then almost everyday an obama shirt. my sister wrote to the white house & I still have obama, dogs, & family photos from 2012

The AI is bafflingly inconsistent when it comes to knowing how to pronounce things. In mine it said "Zoom" instead of "Doom," called BTS "Beats," but somehow understood Yoko Shimomura (but literally none of the other Japanese composers on my list)??
Hanni
Honestly the delay on the synth is what makes the song for me. One of my favorite Christmas songs that I grew up with.
brooklynn
as soon as i saw ‘mcbling catwalk pop’ on my wrapped i knew it was over
Rachel Eakes
when i was like 9 i sent a fan letter to Nathan Kress from iCarly and he replied with a signed headshot so I feel connected to Anastasia's friend who has the framed Oprah headshot lol
Laura
I cannot separate that paul mccartney xmas song in my head from the really bizarre rudolph the red nosed reindeer film it's featured in. The film gives rudolph a love interest, and has a whole extra aspect to the story where the snow storm that stops santa is created by an evil ice queen. At one point rudolph runs away and meets a fox who sings a song about how things could always be worse

one of my ocd compulsions is reading and clearing all of my notifications. i AM a slave to my phone, though im trying to work on it!
Emilie
my top song was the rachel bloom comedy song "fuck me ray bradbury" and they said it out like 10 times and then praised me for my edgy dark humor :(
Julia Oster
not the trello mention
OneofDani
Talking of "being a slave to your notifications," I tend to adjust which notifications I get so they don't take over my day, but I do like to have it clear. It helps me remember if I've already taken my meds, for example, if I've cleared the notification.
Amalie Lind Hansen
It's funny seeing other people's word salad genres, cause mine was "pirate folkie celtic rock" which maybe with the exception of "pirate" is just the usual genres popping up in my wrapped
scarlet
wait did Jarvis just happen to have 6669 hours of listening?!
Sean Hoban
Every time the AI said "Trent Reznor" I just thought of game grumps "trent resin-ore"

When the first iPhone came out I was in elementary school and had no concept of money. So I would judge how expensive something was by how many iPhones it “cost”. The only currency I could understand was iPhone.
Szymon Borysowski
Borislav Slavov is Bulgarian actually! Much love, the Polish
Julia Wines
Somewhat Beatles-adjacent, I wrote fan mail to Eric Idle in 2007 when I was like 12 and he sent back a personalized & signed picture. I can hardly remember what I wrote but I would hate to read it now.
Pomme
Was practically begging for someone to talk about how weird the wrapped podcast was
Alcachaz
My AI Podcast actually just yelled at me "Lets take a look at your music taste evolution, you could say things took a turn for the AAAAAAAAAAAAA what was it?"
Cane.shuga
Anastasia, I too used to work in a mall and heard that song over and over. I feel your pain 😭
Ynaltor Collective
so much for stardust IS amazing
Liam Jordan
I say "what is up music fans" as a joke all the time so i can't believe jarvis's wrapped AI podcast started with that genuinely
kyla
SIDEWALKS IS SO GOOD
kate
wait did anastasia ACTUALLY work at the sanrio store in the mall? i can no longer decipher the true anastasia job lore from the false
