Love that they even touched on Kpop:) Stellar production in every aspect as well as consistently creative music compared to a lot of other stuff I hear these days. Plus as was said in the podcast it's just fun and wholesome, can't beat the positive mood it puts you in. Same can be said for Korean movies and shows too, always great production with lots of creative interesting stories.
Spotify should stop sponsoring Joe Rogan and Kim Kardashian with hundreds of millions of dollars for platforming conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones (Joe Rogan) and doing nothing at all (Kim Kardashian). Tips move the responsibility away from Spotify to fairly pay the people they profit from. Besides, there are already ways to directly support musicians, like, uh, buy their music?
it’s SO important to have these positive role models. A big cause of depression in youth is seeing the depressing & depersonalised ways which so many older people live... Young ppl think “what’s the point of life if that’s my future” It’s a vicious cycle. Adults are supposed to be role models not people we dread becoming. Thank you Grimes ❤️
@@sarahkay5167 wow I agree with you 100% thank you for putting that into perspective for me. I am always afraid that as soon as I hit 30 I will lose my creative personality. It is a stupid fear of mine and I am happy to see Grimes and MIA live their authentic selfs. Inspirational women
@Joe Schmoe You believe in massive conspiracies and crimes, that haven't been proven in court, just because you wish they were true. Likely because you're a partisan political hack. Why should anyone trust you?
@Joe Schmoe "You" commented that there is (an) election fraud? It's a fact? Because "You" said so? Okay, prove your case. I'm all ears. One condition tho, it must be empirical, objective, and verifiable by anyone with an access to the internet. Now, GO!
@Joe Schmoe I don't "believe" in anything because some MSM or some cult of personality tells me to do so. In fact, I am an atheist despite having been raised a protestant. I make my decisions based on data, as I was educated in a field of science. As a person who "believes" in empirical data and its objective analysis of that same data, I need you to show me something tangible to even begin to take you seriously. As I said prior, I'm all ears, now... GO!
i live in Berlin and i was just about to comment when she mentioned the public art here. It´s really an amazing thing to see artists perform in the streets and murals everywhere.
I love how grimes doesn't say everything as a sure thing. Her points are so smart, but they're not necessarily facts so she doesn't present them as facts. It's so refreshing.
exactly, but what’s suck is that people constantly take what she say to a whole another level even though everything she says is just thoughts said out loud; without necessary being an confirmation or a fact at all
As a single mother, I really appreciate you both thinking so deeply about something that doesn't directly affect you. That's a wonderful ability to have. I feel a little more seen today.

@@franciscoduran2386 I don't know too much other than what I saw in this and a few other videos, but she just seems like your everyday millennial human-being that people on the far right would call a "communist" but she's more like a normal centrist, and she's from canada which has more accessible "socialist" policies like universal healthcare and better funded education, so America's systems are justifiably archaic to many people like her (and me tbh but I digress). I just see her as a normal person peacefully weighing in on politics, and she happens to lean left, like the majority in her demographic.
@@franciscoduran2386 What value do politics have when so-called democracy tears asunder community and family in favor of clown acts that lack true humor and imitate virtue and reality so poorly-only to aid and abet business? Politics ain’t shit. We should base engineering of infrastructures off of the principles of non-harm, yet telephone lines are arranged in such a way that they regularly kill creatures. Human foresight and society has been eroded by politics, the mouthpiece of the military industrial complex.
Delete Forever is my fav song and video so far, I found your music just 1-2 months ago so I've got some exploring to do. The lyrics just hit me so hard emotionally, as if the song could be any better, your video lifts it to another state because it is what a true music video should be: Visual representation of the song. It makes me cry, scream, dance, laugh and rage, depending on my current mood. It's a friend, having me forgetting loneliness so I can fully connect with my feelings, because it understands Me. You understand Me.
I live in Mississippi and was accepted into Mississippi School of Art and couldnt afford it but one day they called to say someone had donated enough money to let me go to that school for free. Was so grateful to them for that but my mom had gotten breast cancer and i had to stay home to help take care of her. But there are people out there who care about the arts and i am so happy for that.
I feel I become so much more intelligent after hearing you talk to Grimes. I was a fan before she got big and I liked her raw art as well as her current music. I am a solo Architect and it was so nice Grimes had an understanding of Architecture. Wish I could hang out with her I would get so many ideas and grow. Thankyou both
This is the interview I needed and didn’t even know I wanted - Grimes & Yang talking about how insane and unnecessary college debt is and how she chose music... SO GOOD ❤️
Not saying “look at me” but my fiancé and I broke up in my last trimester.. not by my choice.. I was already a single mother of a 5 year old.. at 25. When the baby was born, I was exhausted and couldn’t keep up and my employer said I needed to come back to work at 4 weeks or they would fill my spot. 3 weeks later, my infant died at the child care center, supposedly from SIDs. I will never get over that. I’m 54 now and my heart breaks for any single mom. I’m so glad Grimes spoke up. Even if you can afford a nanny, or help, the babies need their mommies. She so sweet.
I am so sorry to hear that! I hope you are doing better now. You are such a strong person. Being a single mother and working hard, now telling your story. Wish you the best
Single motherhood due to tragedy is something that should be deeply considered for community. Most single motherhood should always seen as pairs (single mother + absent father).
Especially in a society that so greatly values military service. Sure it's important, but it's creating single mothers and what is actually in place to help them?
Yes.... I am a 69 year old female and I am very aware of this fact, not only is technology hard to keep up with because it is evolving very, very rapidly, but cognitive decline is a real “thing”..... A great question for the American voting public is, “Why are we voting for people who are past their prime and possibly experiencing cognitive decline into positions of power making decisions that result in huge consequences? Who benefits from this trend?
Yes, but at the same time you must weigh that against experience. Any adult knows how important experience is in any facet of life and is impactful in every interaction and decision we make. I was very luke warm on Biden, but after doing a little more reading about his life, I have been more encouraged. He is a man who has evolved constantly, and even during Obama's administration he was a very different man than when he started. That ability and willingness to evolve is what I see in Biden that gives me optimism.
@@binarystar25 Yes I agree and he is 100% a better choice than the alternative was but he is 78 and unless he is a very unusual 78 he is probably experiencing cognitive decline... which will most assuredly affect his decision making... maybe science will pony up and figure this aging phenomena out but they have not as yet...
@@criticalthought7527 i’m barely paying my rent and feeding myself on my Social Security.... I have not been able to find a job since I moved and it is not from a lack of trying nor am I lacking skills... I have 3 degrees, almost 4... they have not helped me get a job... The isms are real in addition to all other contributing factors in our world right now..
@@adbc8213 I feel your pain. I'm in a similar situation (without the degrees, I'm and autodidact.) but really not sure what you are getting at with your reply to me. I tried to answer your question succinctly. The donor class, with the power of money, and lobbying that they wield is the reason why we are 'mostly' voting for people who are past their prime and may well no longer be cognitively equipped for the job at hand. Please see the 7 minute video "Corruption in America" on the Represent.US homepage it covers most of the reasons why we don't have real choices when it comes to representation in our government. I'm sure you will agree that for the most part, especially when it comes to Presidents, we have been voting for the lesser of two evils, this is not real choice. May you and yours be well, j
He's not always right, but he's genuine, positive, and indeed wise. I'm not part of the Yang Gang, but he's definitely one of the few good ones out there. Especially in politics, but even just culturally speaking.
Absolutely. A former Presidential Candidate having a conversation with... A young female singer who's music and art has a very "Alternative" vibe to it and he has her on to talk about AI, tech and politics. (I know she's Elons GF but still, I digress.) If Kamala Harris wasn't VP and instead started a show called "Harris Speaks" there would not be such a casual and accepting vibe. I think we can all imagine Kamala being way over the top, trying to identify with Grimes as being to females and try to talk feminist movement, (which while important Social Issues and Civil Liberties are- if you're from MSM and didn't know- NOT the only thing that womens voices are useful for in politics! As shown here!) I supported Bernie in the Primaries, and was disappointed not only in his loss but his actions before and after conceding. I believe he would have been the Dem Nominee if the DNC didn't have a deck of Aces in their sleeve to use on Progressives. But for some reason, even though he supports Nationalized Healthcare... Even though he talks about giving "free" money to people. Even though I'd say he's not AS progressive as Bernie, (he'd probably claim similar, he's a businessman..) I think he's right on 90% or more of the issues, and agrees with Bernie on a number of things. Even after all that, he still gets a seat at CNN, he still says stuff that no other panelist would say like he did on Election night, and he's NOT called a Socialist, he's not attacked nearly as much (and maybe that would change if Bernie wasn't in their crosshairs the whole time, 2024 Yang could be different story). While I find that fairly ironic and telling about their general feelings towards Bernie for some reason, I am encouraged in the fact that MSM has allowed Yang to gain enough name recognition in this race (the most important thing in nearly any Primary tbh) to have a VERY viable chance at taking home the vote. Again, I'd like him to rethink some things, like taking away the most destitute peoples Welfare and replacing it with simply $1000. I think there's probably more to it than that. And maybe he's explained it better but I've heard him talk about it before, and that's the gist I get. And others arguments against his idea of doing that are more persuasive than his argument for it, but that's the types of issues I disagree on. Real policy... Not WHETHER OR NOT he should have a cabinet FULL OF REPUBLICANS AND LOBBYISTS. Not whether or not people DESERVE $1200 TWO TIMES IN A YEAR?! Not on whether or not Fracking is terrible for the environment.. Dude likes numbers. He likes facts. And while factually he COULD add a lot of numbers to his bank account by towing the line, he simply doesn't.. He remains palatable to the Establishment, which is honestly really smart and helpful... AND he's a joy to be around. You think Obama was funny and charming as president?..... 1st: get out more, and 2nd: Imagine Yang!
Run again, please! For something. Win or not, we want your input! I'll contribute how I can, I like hearing from you, especially if you're on Team Gcrimes too! Thanks Andrew Yang.
with grimes and her education it is important to remember that Quebec is SO VERY DIFFERENT than the rest of canada and Montreal (where her university Mgill is) is basically a super small town. So it is important to keep that in mind and not apply what is true in Quebec or ANY province for that matter to " Canada". since education is controlled at the municipal and provincial level, including grants. In Montreal you can afford rent with a minimum wage part time job. You can find a nice place for 500$ Canadian. In Toronto with a full time job that's slightly above minimum wage you cant even afford rent, let alone food and education. Vancouver is even more expensive. This is coming from someone born in Quebec and is attending school in Toronto.
Yes! We need more single parents in govt so we can have ppl that understand how impossible it is. Especially during covid. You can either have a kid, or a job, but not both.
@@matthewgoodman7588 yes! I really like her! It just is really apparent that not many single parents are in local or national govt. Hopefully that will start to change:)
I sympathize with people who are single parents through tragedy. But I feel a totally different way when knowing that the second half of that parental role is willingly absent from supporting that child and in turn the mother.
@@kevinlopez9883 i sympathize with every single parent because its hard as hell and they get no credit or thought at all when it comes to policy. Politicians have made it literally impossible to simply survive. Schools are closed, daycare are closed or really expensive. Young children have to be left alone to do online school while the parent goes to work? I don't understand how its possible unless you can work at home or afford 2k a month for daycare...
She's not UBI curious in the least. Her oligarch is pushing it full throttle. It's not that he's a pernicious sociopath that he wants this. It's because he's a benevolent leader. 🙄🙄🙄
I’m so happy to see such a long interview with Grimes about things that are actually of her interest! I love watching her talk about things she’s interested in thank you for the great questions mr Yang
I completely agree with having/desiring to watch the videos while listening to her music. Obviously that’s not always realistic and when I can’t do both it feels like half of the experience. Truly one of a kind.
Grimes is such a beautiful soul. She has such a pretty voice and she is super smart. Art is seen in every structure of business and part of life. I am a recipe developer. I love the fun crazy unique food combinations that I place together. I love the donate a dollar button idea. My kids are 28 and 20. Being a parent has a mixture of highs and lows. Single parenthood can be challenging and you need a good healthy support center. Awesome segment loved it.
This is such a great interview! Had no idea music artists were struggling due to so many hands in their pockets. Completely agree with Grimes that consumers should be able to pay any artists directly so the artist themselves can dictate where the money goes.
She deserves so much more respect as an artist and as a person. People look down on her so much just because she's so flamboyant and rare but she is incredibly intellectual
Grimes is one of the most inspiring people to me. Not only the art but the way she is just so herself and like moves around the whole time while talking I feel her a lot. Great video!
I feel Yang Speaks is art and I listen to Andrew Yang interviews when I want to feel better about the world ❤️ his happy warrior smile and lift you up laughter with fun #YangGang commenters always improves my outlook for the future 🧢 #Yang2024
@Andrew spot on with "The world needs now more art and uplift". Great civilizations and economies also had flourishing art communities. Let's make this an art led recovery!
Education is not paid for in Canada. It's cheaper than the US definitely, but we still graduate with debt. I'm 32, so I graduated 10 years ago but I was 37,000 in debt after I graduated, and I lived at home. Live on campus, and you can probably double that. It doesn't really seem like much, but to a recent grad entering the job market, it's terrifying....and student loan companies will demand it back in a ten year period, so bye bye to half your monthly salary! And the interest rate you pay is shady has hell...which no one explains to you when you're 17 and have no idea the difference between floating and fixed rates.
Great episode, Im not sure how you do it - but the meta for podcasts atm is if you scroll over the youtube video timeline it breaks the video down into topic segments, so I can quickly navigate to the specific topics I want to hear yours or the interviewees opinions on. I watched this whole video as Im doing a project that doesnt require immense focus ... but usually I wouldnt be able to split my focus so this podcast wouldnt get watched. Big love for you Yang as always and Zach to you for all youve done in the grind. Og pink hat peace.
I lived in Japan for 22 years and the Bidet was the best. And now I live in Australia. I found a Bidet that works on any toilet without electricity. I recommend using it. My toilet paper usage has reduced and my bottom is thanking me daily.
Preach. My mom was told by her Roman Catholic Priest that I could not be baptized because she and my bio dad whom I have never met were 18 years old and unmarried. This was 1979. The family was against her too back then as well, we all never connected and they looked at me like a child who would never get to heaven because I was not baptized. I find all of this insane. I have an almost 17 year old now and never baptized and never would, it is so important that he learns organically how he feels about what comes next.
Now i realize why i enjoy her music so much, we have such a similar way of thinking , processing information and seeing the visual world. I wonder if this is what her fans also feel after watching this.
she's like so like well-spoken like... literally yeah like... haha. jokes aside, glad to hear her perspective on American life & politics. Keep it up Andrew
at least she talks quickly, it makes up for the "like" pauses. She literally had to interrupt Andrew every time to even participate in this interview. Cringe.
@@kebbotnet4170 You're the first person to mention her energy. Look closely. It's not coffee. We could call it by it's most simple name... snow. No hate or judgement from me. It definitely helps keep some pep in a person's step!
Amazing interview. Just wanted to comment on her saying how art for kids is sort of obnoxious. THANK YOU! I don't have kids but I have nephews so I often see kids' cartoons or toys and it always scares me how bad some of the things for kids are. I believe it's important to expose your kids to good quality content (whether it be books, music, movies etc.) because it plays a great deal in developing their imagination and taste
It means a lot to me that Andrew and Zach have a good friendship. I am counting on Biden placing Andrew in his administration, and I hope that Andrew brings Zach with him.
Its great to have Grimes on. She actually has ideas of her own. She might be able to find a solution to a problem she hasn’t seen before. Now who won the election?
Being an undecided Canadian voter I have looked into the NDP (as Grimes mentioned here) as a party for me to remain voting for in all upcoming elections. They are anti-war and always look out for workers and the environment. Trudeau sold arms to Saudi Arabia a country which is blockading Yemin and the Conservatives don't care much for climate change themselves. So if anyone feels bad for Grimes not being able to vote NDP in the next upcoming Canadian elections. She just inspired someone who can vote (and donate money) on her behalf. Thanks, and never forget to vote.
Love that they even touched on Kpop:) Stellar production in every aspect as well as consistently creative music compared to a lot of other stuff I hear these days. Plus as was said in the podcast it's just fun and wholesome, can't beat the positive mood it puts you in. Same can be said for Korean movies and shows too, always great production with lots of creative interesting stories.
Update 2021: Canadian universities are no longer “a few thousand a year”. With 10% tuition hikes per year, they are now $30,000 a year for a business undergrad, for example. It is just like the US.
Grimes is so right about kpop. I wasn’t a kpop fan, but I was aware of it because I love kdramas. However, I recently fell into the BTS rabbit hole because they just have this wholesomeness and genuineness that feels rare in the American celebrity scene. They are also just super talented along many dimensions.
Grimes was criticised before for sort of showing an aversion to the word "mom", saying she struggled to relate to the word. But I think it was premature and probably misunderstood, because she comes across as a really good mom. And she was just being honest I think, a lot of women take time to accept their completely new identity after the birth of a child.
Yes, I agree. I think when she said "I dnt know if I can relate to the word mom" -not an actual quote but I think the public jumped on her for that but we feel how we feel and that's that lol
I dont know what close-to-free college/university she's talking about...its still ~$10 000 per year in Canada. Definitely better costs than in the US, but not everyone has easy access to $40k for public education
Exactly!! I was listening to this aghast. I mean was she on a scholarship sorta thing? As soon as I heard her spiel I started commenting like WTF education ain't free in Canada!! And it is increasingly becoming more expensive. Sure you can take out a student loan. But you still have to repay it.
Wow that's so random I was just now listening to her latest album when I saw this pop up in my subscription feed. Grimes is awesome haha can't wait to listen

God, that sounds so rough. I'm sorry for your loss :(
@@blankline5215 Thanks. Not sure why I just had that flash back, this video triggered a memory. Thanks for the kind words.
I am so sorry to hear that! I hope you are doing better now. You are such a strong person. Being a single mother and working hard, now telling your story. Wish you the best
I’m so sorry. My heart goes out to you.
I’m a senior and didn’t know what to expect from this interview. It was riveting!
Single motherhood due to tragedy is something that should be deeply considered for community. Most single motherhood should always seen as pairs (single mother + absent father).
Especially in a society that so greatly values military service. Sure it's important, but it's creating single mothers and what is actually in place to help them?
Yes.... I am a 69 year old female and I am very aware of this fact, not only is technology hard to keep up with because it is evolving very, very rapidly, but cognitive decline is a real “thing”..... A great question for the American voting public is, “Why are we voting for people who are past their prime and possibly experiencing cognitive decline into positions of power making decisions that result in huge consequences? Who benefits from this trend?
The donor class. See unlimited campaign financing and K street.
Yes, but at the same time you must weigh that against experience. Any adult knows how important experience is in any facet of life and is impactful in every interaction and decision we make. I was very luke warm on Biden, but after doing a little more reading about his life, I have been more encouraged. He is a man who has evolved constantly, and even during Obama's administration he was a very different man than when he started. That ability and willingness to evolve is what I see in Biden that gives me optimism.
@@binarystar25 Yes I agree and he is 100% a better choice than the alternative was but he is 78 and unless he is a very unusual 78 he is probably experiencing cognitive decline... which will most assuredly affect his decision making... maybe science will pony up and figure this aging phenomena out but they have not as yet...
@@criticalthought7527 i’m barely paying my rent and feeding myself on my Social Security.... I have not been able to find a job since I moved and it is not from a lack of trying nor am I lacking skills... I have 3 degrees, almost 4... they have not helped me get a job... The isms are real in addition to all other contributing factors in our world right now..
@@adbc8213 I feel your pain. I'm in a similar situation (without the degrees, I'm and autodidact.) but really not sure what you are getting at with your reply to me. I tried to answer your question succinctly.
The donor class, with the power of money, and lobbying that they wield is the reason why we are 'mostly' voting for people who are past their prime and may well no longer be cognitively equipped for the job at hand.
Please see the 7 minute video "Corruption in America" on the Represent.US homepage it covers most of the reasons why we don't have real choices when it comes to representation in our government. I'm sure you will agree that for the most part, especially when it comes to Presidents, we have been voting for the lesser of two evils, this is not real choice.
May you and yours be well,

Andrew Yang is just a wise wise person.
He's not always right, but he's genuine, positive, and indeed wise. I'm not part of the Yang Gang, but he's definitely one of the few good ones out there. Especially in politics, but even just culturally speaking.
Absolutely. A former Presidential Candidate having a conversation with... A young female singer who's music and art has a very "Alternative" vibe to it and he has her on to talk about AI, tech and politics. (I know she's Elons GF but still, I digress.) If Kamala Harris wasn't VP and instead started a show called "Harris Speaks" there would not be such a casual and accepting vibe. I think we can all imagine Kamala being way over the top, trying to identify with Grimes as being to females and try to talk feminist movement, (which while important Social Issues and Civil Liberties are- if you're from MSM and didn't know- NOT the only thing that womens voices are useful for in politics! As shown here!)
I supported Bernie in the Primaries, and was disappointed not only in his loss but his actions before and after conceding. I believe he would have been the Dem Nominee if the DNC didn't have a deck of Aces in their sleeve to use on Progressives. But for some reason, even though he supports Nationalized Healthcare... Even though he talks about giving "free" money to people. Even though I'd say he's not AS progressive as Bernie, (he'd probably claim similar, he's a businessman..) I think he's right on 90% or more of the issues, and agrees with Bernie on a number of things. Even after all that, he still gets a seat at CNN, he still says stuff that no other panelist would say like he did on Election night, and he's NOT called a Socialist, he's not attacked nearly as much (and maybe that would change if Bernie wasn't in their crosshairs the whole time, 2024 Yang could be different story).
While I find that fairly ironic and telling about their general feelings towards Bernie for some reason, I am encouraged in the fact that MSM has allowed Yang to gain enough name recognition in this race (the most important thing in nearly any Primary tbh) to have a VERY viable chance at taking home the vote. Again, I'd like him to rethink some things, like taking away the most destitute peoples Welfare and replacing it with simply $1000. I think there's probably more to it than that. And maybe he's explained it better but I've heard him talk about it before, and that's the gist I get. And others arguments against his idea of doing that are more persuasive than his argument for it, but that's the types of issues I disagree on. Real policy... Not WHETHER OR NOT he should have a cabinet FULL OF REPUBLICANS AND LOBBYISTS. Not whether or not people DESERVE $1200 TWO TIMES IN A YEAR?! Not on whether or not Fracking is terrible for the environment..
Dude likes numbers. He likes facts. And while factually he COULD add a lot of numbers to his bank account by towing the line, he simply doesn't.. He remains palatable to the Establishment, which is honestly really smart and helpful... AND he's a joy to be around. You think Obama was funny and charming as president?..... 1st: get out more, and 2nd: Imagine Yang!
@@pretary1845 Well said!
Run again, please! For something. Win or not, we want your input! I'll contribute how I can, I like hearing from you, especially if you're on Team Gcrimes too! Thanks Andrew Yang.
I'm team Grimes as well. Thanks.
I love Yang and Grimes! I have painted them together when they met at space X, I even had tote bags printed with my painting on them

with grimes and her education it is important to remember that Quebec is SO VERY DIFFERENT than the rest of canada and Montreal (where her university Mgill is) is basically a super small town. So it is important to keep that in mind and not apply what is true in Quebec or ANY province for that matter to " Canada". since education is controlled at the municipal and provincial level, including grants. In Montreal you can afford rent with a minimum wage part time job. You can find a nice place for 500$ Canadian. In Toronto with a full time job that's slightly above minimum wage you cant even afford rent, let alone food and education. Vancouver is even more expensive. This is coming from someone born in Quebec and is attending school in Toronto.
Grimes looks so beautiful!💖
she needs to fix that lip line, though.
@@julietoddjulie did she get lip fillers?
@@pearlgirl5643 yup
She looks like a kid that hacked her mums makeup drawer
@@wombat6177 Grimes is amazing! I love her music and her vibe that’s all 🖤
I see Grimes interview I click
Single parenthood will make or break the US. Very few voices out there for single parents.
Yes! We need more single parents in govt so we can have ppl that understand how impossible it is. Especially during covid. You can either have a kid, or a job, but not both.
@@willowgem4573 IIRC, Cori Bush is a single mother. She's a good contender for the best representative about to be sworn in.
@@matthewgoodman7588 yes! I really like her! It just is really apparent that not many single parents are in local or national govt. Hopefully that will start to change:)
I sympathize with people who are single parents through tragedy. But I feel a totally different way when knowing that the second half of that parental role is willingly absent from supporting that child and in turn the mother.
@@kevinlopez9883 i sympathize with every single parent because its hard as hell and they get no credit or thought at all when it comes to policy. Politicians have made it literally impossible to simply survive. Schools are closed, daycare are closed or really expensive. Young children have to be left alone to do online school while the parent goes to work? I don't understand how its possible unless you can work at home or afford 2k a month for daycare...
such a big fan of grimes i admire how shes able to consume so much information she seems to be pretty well versed in so many topics
Grimes WTF? hype for this one.
This is the best crossover I could ever not expect to happen. I love grimes, and I love Yang! This is awesome!!
"YoU aNd i TeXtEd aBoUt iT" was probably the one and only time they texted lol
“Like”. He says that a lot. Love it. Doesn’t dilute his intelligence.
The conversation with C had me engaged the whole time. Love C’s views on the topics people barely even consider.
Grimes is such a good mom she needs design her own line of toys
How????
Yeah just curious.....how do you know is she is a good mom?
OMG YES!!!!
how the fuck would you have any way of knowing that she was a good mom
I don't know about that one.. she just said she would put her baby in a cement crib 💀
I had to do a double take when I saw a video pop up of Yang interviewing one of my favorite music artists. Love it.
So impressed (and not surprised) that Grimes read Dune when she was 6. I was probably reading Dr. Seuss at that age haha
No human has the life experience to understand it at that age. Your impression is wasted.
@@DreamseedVR kids understand storytelling and visuals tho
Grimes is UBI-curious.
Underrated😂
She's not UBI curious in the least. Her oligarch is pushing it full throttle. It's not that he's a pernicious sociopath that he wants this. It's because he's a benevolent leader. 🙄🙄🙄
What does ubi curious mean? I searched it but I couldn't find anything
@@asddfasdqwe7389 thanks
@@blabla985 she was making a pun on bi-curious too
This was cool, keep bringing on diverse people.
Lol diverse as in famous millionaires? Just fucking with u lol I love these two too 😅
I love listening to Grimes' ideas. She always makes me think. Great video!
Anyone else think Grimes should start a podcast ?
That would make my day\week\month.
@@ryandommerman9295 good news she's starting a podcast soon with her friend liv
Thanks, hearing that is the high point of my day if it's true.
@@SadBugBleu Have they started it yet?
I've heard that humans now process the same amount of info in one day that someone in the 80s would receive over the course of a month. It's wild.
I’m so happy to see such a long interview with Grimes about things that are actually of her interest! I love watching her talk about things she’s interested in thank you for the great questions mr Yang
I completely agree with having/desiring to watch the videos while listening to her music. Obviously that’s not always realistic and when I can’t do both it feels like half of the experience. Truly one of a kind.
Grimes is such a beautiful soul. She has such a pretty voice and she is super smart. Art is seen in every structure of business and part of life. I am a recipe developer. I love the fun crazy unique food combinations that I place together. I love the donate a dollar button idea. My kids are 28 and 20. Being a parent has a mixture of highs and lows. Single parenthood can be challenging and you need a good healthy support center. Awesome segment loved it.
If you like this video, then you'll make it out alive.
And if you don’t, I’ll tie my feet to rocks and drown

Last call
My favorite artist and politician in the world are on one show!?!?!?!? So hyped!!!!
same!
This is such a great interview! Had no idea music artists were struggling due to so many hands in their pockets. Completely agree with Grimes that consumers should be able to pay any artists directly so the artist themselves can dictate where the money goes.
"have you actually listened to my music?" I just love her lol and I really enjoyed her talking about how her musical career came to be
She deserves so much more respect as an artist and as a person. People look down on her so much just because she's so flamboyant and rare but she is incredibly intellectual
Y’all don’t realize just how important this particular podcast is on the world stage.
Grimes is one of the most inspiring people to me. Not only the art but the way she is just so herself and like moves around the whole time while talking I feel her a lot. Great video!
1:20:45 is such a wholesome moment. Make this man president!
I feel Yang Speaks is art and I listen to Andrew Yang interviews when I want to feel better about the world ❤️ his happy warrior smile and lift you up laughter with fun #YangGang commenters always improves my outlook for the future 🧢 #Yang2024
Nodding my head through the entire time they talked about motherhood. Yuuuuuuup.
Excited already
I agree with Yang, I have to listen to Grimes with the music videos in order to get the full experience. Her videos are works of art.
@Andrew spot on with "The world needs now more art and uplift".
Great civilizations and economies also had flourishing art communities.
Let's make this an art led recovery!
If you're actually here for the Grimes 38:08

Kpop convo starts here.
thank you so much!! usually I love to listen to both, but now I'm in a hurry and the k-pop thing was my main interest, of course!

Education is not paid for in Canada. It's cheaper than the US definitely, but we still graduate with debt. I'm 32, so I graduated 10 years ago but I was 37,000 in debt after I graduated, and I lived at home. Live on campus, and you can probably double that. It doesn't really seem like much, but to a recent grad entering the job market, it's terrifying....and student loan companies will demand it back in a ten year period, so bye bye to half your monthly salary! And the interest rate you pay is shady has hell...which no one explains to you when you're 17 and have no idea the difference between floating and fixed rates.
I love Grimes and I love Andrew Yang so this interview was freakin awesome ❤️
YES! Thanks for this talk. Would pay $2-$5 for it.
This episode was very special ! Love you Andrew & Grimes ! Thank you for your care , problem solving and forward Thinking ! 💜💕❤️
Great episode, Im not sure how you do it - but the meta for podcasts atm is if you scroll over the youtube video timeline it breaks the video down into topic segments, so I can quickly navigate to the specific topics I want to hear yours or the interviewees opinions on.
I watched this whole video as Im doing a project that doesnt require immense focus ... but usually I wouldnt be able to split my focus so this podcast wouldnt get watched.
Big love for you Yang as always and Zach to you for all youve done in the grind.
Og pink hat peace.
She looks like she's 21!
@Alex What? No she doesnt.
@Alex yes

I lived in Japan for 22 years and the Bidet was the best. And now I live in Australia. I found a Bidet that works on any toilet without electricity. I recommend using it. My toilet paper usage has reduced and my bottom is thanking me daily.
Preach. My mom was told by her Roman Catholic Priest that I could not be baptized because she and my bio dad whom I have never met were 18 years old and unmarried. This was 1979. The family was against her too back then as well, we all never connected and they looked at me like a child who would never get to heaven because I was not baptized. I find all of this insane. I have an almost 17 year old now and never baptized and never would, it is so important that he learns organically how he feels about what comes next.
Now i realize why i enjoy her music so much, we have such a similar way of thinking , processing information and seeing the visual world. I wonder if this is what her fans also feel after watching this.
she's like so like well-spoken like... literally yeah like... haha. jokes aside, glad to hear her perspective on American life & politics. Keep it up Andrew
at least she talks quickly, it makes up for the "like" pauses. She literally had to interrupt Andrew every time to even participate in this interview. Cringe.
@@MausAgain80 yeah i noticed that as well. it almost seems like she was just very nervous. or maybe had too much coffee that morning, haha.
@@kebbotnet4170 You're the first person to mention her energy. Look closely. It's not coffee. We could call it by it's most simple name... snow. No hate or judgement from me. It definitely helps keep some pep in a person's step!
@@Nphen u’re gross
@@Nphen It's called personality, sorry you don't have energy without boosters and can't imagine that others are different ;)
Skip to 38:08
Amazing interview. Just wanted to comment on her saying how art for kids is sort of obnoxious. THANK YOU! I don't have kids but I have nephews so I often see kids' cartoons or toys and it always scares me how bad some of the things for kids are. I believe it's important to expose your kids to good quality content (whether it be books, music, movies etc.) because it plays a great deal in developing their imagination and taste
I can really see a Grimes and The Weeknd collaboration 🔜
It means a lot to me that Andrew and Zach have a good friendship.
I am counting on Biden placing Andrew in his administration, and I hope that Andrew brings Zach with him.
Its great to have Grimes on. She actually has ideas of her own.
She might be able to find a solution to a problem she hasn’t seen before.
Now who won the election?
Being an undecided Canadian voter I have looked into the NDP (as Grimes mentioned here) as a party for me to remain voting for in all upcoming elections. They are anti-war and always look out for workers and the environment. Trudeau sold arms to Saudi Arabia a country which is blockading Yemin and the Conservatives don't care much for climate change themselves.
So if anyone feels bad for Grimes not being able to vote NDP in the next upcoming Canadian elections. She just inspired someone who can vote (and donate money) on her behalf.
Thanks, and never forget to vote.
Love that they even touched on Kpop:) Stellar production in every aspect as well as consistently creative music compared to a lot of other stuff I hear these days. Plus as was said in the podcast it's just fun and wholesome, can't beat the positive mood it puts you in. Same can be said for Korean movies and shows too, always great production with lots of creative interesting stories.
Really enjoyed this conversation. Thanks for posting.
I'm such a huge Grimes fan her music is everything to me i love listening to her speak!!!
Update 2021: Canadian universities are no longer “a few thousand a year”. With 10% tuition hikes per year, they are now $30,000 a year for a business undergrad, for example. It is just like the US.
ugh
Both of you are awesome at listening and speaking. Fun to listen to this!
I’m so sad. This is the most underrated thing of my life.
Grimes is so right about kpop. I wasn’t a kpop fan, but I was aware of it because I love kdramas. However, I recently fell into the BTS rabbit hole because they just have this wholesomeness and genuineness that feels rare in the American celebrity scene. They are also just super talented along many dimensions.
I wish Andrew Yang had been president. Progressive, young, well spoken , cool. I love Grimes. 😊❤
What great conversation and wonderful energy between the two of you, very fluid!
I am the biggest grimes fan and I agree that sometimes you have to watch her music videos instead of just listening to the music.
I've been dying to hear from her since X and I cant believe this came out 2 weeks ago I really screamed 😭😭😭 an hour and a half what a feast
Lmao I didn’t realize this was Andrew yang interveiwing her. I love that politicians are embracing things the younger gen likes
*embracing
Bro everyone likes Grimes she's been a maymay for years.
Grimes was criticised before for sort of showing an aversion to the word "mom", saying she struggled to relate to the word. But I think it was premature and probably misunderstood, because she comes across as a really good mom. And she was just being honest I think, a lot of women take time to accept their completely new identity after the birth of a child.
Yes, I agree. I think when she said "I dnt know if I can relate to the word mom" -not an actual quote but I think the public jumped on her for that but we feel how we feel and that's that lol
I dont know what close-to-free college/university she's talking about...its still ~$10 000 per year in Canada. Definitely better costs than in the US, but not everyone has easy access to $40k for public education
Exactly!! I was listening to this aghast. I mean was she on a scholarship sorta thing? As soon as I heard her spiel I started commenting like WTF education ain't free in Canada!! And it is increasingly becoming more expensive. Sure you can take out a student loan. But you still have to repay it.
“ We’re cynical about our ability to change & evolve “ - Andrew Yang 🇺🇸 🧢 🇺🇸
Wow that's so random I was just now listening to her latest album when I saw this pop up in my subscription feed. Grimes is awesome haha can't wait to listen
this is the first time i have ever seen a interview where the sound from the guest is better than from the host
