00:59 Let me just get to know the girl.
01:00 Let me find a record that I think she will fit on.
01:01 Let me ..."
01:02 She did.
01:03 Then I sent her Meg's number, and then they did the record, and I need my plaque.
01:10 No, but that song was ... And then you even putting Kylie in there.
01:15 Another thing, another factor people may not know is I did see the rough cut of the video.
01:19 I'm gonna tell you how, before it came out, and I saw that they didn't give enough of
01:24 the women enough shine, the other women, Rosalia, Sukiana, and Lotto, right?
01:30 Your note to them was, "Put them more in the video."
