016 - Spotify Wrapped

Hey there, Bettys and Jacks. We know we missed the zeitgeist on this cultural touchstone, posting it two weeks after our Spotify Wraps were released. We recorded it right after they dropped (and right after the last heavy episode about manuals), and last week was a beast, okay? But Mary & Alexis make up for this lack of timeliness with a light & fluffy, Seventeen Magazine-type getting-to-know-you episode about our music and movie preferences, our ‘listening’ personality types (Mary is an FTLU, and Lexy is an ENVC). We also talk about Lizzo, and reclaiming the word b*tch, so there is a lil’ bit of mild profanity. #sorrynotsorry

 

No one will be surprised at Lexy’s number one artist (considering that we devoted an entire podcast episode to her), though apparently she listened to Miley Cyrus’s “Plastic Hearts” 2,900 times. Mary is a little bit ashamed that her number one is the Glee cast. Not unlike this podcast, Mary thinks that Glee is “so out there and random and ridiculous . . . and I love it!” If you’re interested, check out Mary’s Twitter threads about Glee (season one here), season two here, season three here, season four here, season five here, a short thread on “The Quarterback” here, and (the final) season six here. Hey–I worked hard on these, so they should be documented somewhere!

 

There is no official “Better Betty Challenge” for this episode, but we’d love to hear about your Spotify Wrapped! Tell us who your number one artist, what your top song is, what’s your type. From this “Early Adopter” and “The Replayer,” we hope you learned a little more about yourself from this great platform, and we hope this gave you a little insight into what our 2022 was like, including more about us, our music preferences, and the random things we do and love. Life is hard, so light & fluffy episodes are just what we need sometimes. That, or maybe a hit of Julio Iglesias. 

 

Here’s a link to Shane Hawkins playing “My Hero” with the Foo Fighters at the Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert in London. And here’s Miley Cyrus being way cooler than she has any right to be, singing with Def Leppard at the Tribute Concert in Los Angeles.
