Rizzuto, Rizzuto, Raruto.

Rizzuto (2:40)

Has anybody heard Taylor Swift's new songs?

Tony Patrico (2:42)

I was just listening to Patient Zero this morning.

Rizzuto (2:47)

Consensus is not great. I mean, that's not what I've been reading all weekend. Just people, just crappin.

Tony Patrico (2:54)

Did you have another song that was like dirty about moving to Cleveland?

Rizzuto (2:58)

Well, yeah. Okay, so here's Taylor Swift, and she put out what, seven new songs on Friday?

Tony Patrico (3:02)

Yeah.

Rizzuto (3:04)

So it's called Showgirl Encore.

SPEAKER_1 (3:06)

Yeah, there's just seven classics.

Moon Valjean (3:07)

Is that what we call B-Sides or Down?

Tony Patrico (3:09)

I guess so.

Rizzuto (3:10)

This is a song called Cleveland.

Tony Patrico (3:12)

Okay.

Rizzuto (3:53)

It sounds like she typed into AI write me a Taylor Swift song.

Tony Patrico (3:57)

That's what all of her, and I hate to say this, I've never liked her lyrics because it's always too story tell-y-y for me. Love it when Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young have done it. Don't like it when Taylor does it for some reason.

Rizzuto (4:09)

Well, here is a gay man reviewing her new songs.

SPEAKER_4 (4:12)

Taylor Swift's new music, what is that? She has a song called Patient Zero because she concocted some new virus that she's releasing into the world with this album. It makes me violently ill. Every single song is like we got married in Penn Station. It was his temptation. I love him and he loves me and you hate us, but that's just the way it is. Girl, grow up. What is this McDonald's Starbucks ass music? You are a grown ass woman and you are writing for the haters who are so mad that you're in love with a literal caveman. No one cares. Move on and make some actual music. Or actually, you know what? Take a break. Take a very long break because every three months it's Taylor's version of this, Taylor's version of that. Oh my God, Deluxe here. Oh my God, re-release. This is the number one musician of our time. Okay. All the songs she writes about Travis are so boring. Like, girl, take a break or go on a writer's retreat or go on a mental retreat. I don't know what it is, but we don't need more of this. We're in love and you're all mad and it's just sad.
