00:08 - Hi, I'm Conan Gray.
00:09 - I'm Liv A.
00:10 - And we're playing
00:11 - Cheap Shots. - Cheap Shots.
00:12 - Who the (beep) knows this?
00:13 I don't know if I wanna air that dirty laundry.
00:15 Cheers.
00:16 (upbeat music)
00:19 - Why are we here?
00:20 (laughing)
00:22 These are Cosmos, and three of them are spiked with?
00:25 - Cheap vodka, apparently.
00:27 - Apparently. - Apparently.
00:28 - Apparently.
00:29 - So we'll have to answer a question honestly,
00:31 or risk taking a cheap shot.
00:33 - This is terrifying.
00:34 - This is terrifying.
00:35 Also, like, they would've just picked us from a crowd
00:37 and would just like comment.
00:38 - We weren't having our catch up conversation.
00:40 - We were just talking about life,
00:40 like, there's no collab coming.
00:42 (laughing)
00:44 I don't know why we're here.
00:45 Anyways, we're not gonna drink.
00:47 - I'm a really open book, so this is not,
00:50 I feel like you're a really open book too.
00:51 - Yeah, we're not gonna drink one of these.
00:53 Should we do it?
00:54 - Yeah, let's do it. - Let's do it.
00:55 - Starting off strong with what is the most
00:57 embarrassing thing you've done for love?
00:59 - Oh, this is actually a really pertinent one.
01:02 I flew to London to see the person I thought I was dating,
01:07 and then I got broken up with.
01:09 As I landed, I was inside the plane,
01:11 and I got a text message, and I was like,
01:12 "Wow, I am being dumped right now."
01:14 And then I was just in London,
01:16 and there was no reason to be there.
01:19 What about you?
01:20 - I was also heartbroken in London.
01:21 - Yeah, it's a good place to be.
01:23 - It's a great place to be heartbroken.
01:24 - But you feel very Beatles-y.
01:25 - I know, I'm like scared of going back.
01:27 - I'm going back on Monday, but you know.
01:29 What is the most embarrassing thing I've done for love?
01:32 Everything.
01:33 - I've, God, it's just--
01:35 - I don't do anything normal when I'm in love.
01:37 I feel like-- - No.
01:38 Everything's irrational.
01:39 - Ridiculous, yeah.
01:40 - And you feel like you used to be a dignified person,
01:43 and then that's all been knocked out.
01:45 - I feel like every Instagram story I post,
01:47 while I'm like, "Crush."
01:48 - It's like pointed.
01:49 - Yeah.
01:50 - Every Instagram story is pointed at someone.
01:52 - And my friends can tell.
01:54 They're like, "Who are you crushing on right now?"
01:56 - When you're posting an Instagram story,
01:57 are you looking to see who watched it, or?
02:00 - Can't really--
02:01 - Well, when you're as (beep) famous as me, like.
02:03 (laughing)
02:06 That was a joke, that was sarcasm.
02:07 But you can't see, actually, we can't see.
02:10 Do you have a stalker account?
02:12 - No, no, I actually don't.
02:13 I don't have a Finsta.
02:15 - I totally don't either, what?
02:18 Okay.
02:21 What's the most overrated song on the radio right now?
02:24 (beep)
02:25 Actually.
02:26 - This is bad for business.
02:26 - This is bad for business, actually.
02:28 - I'm taking a shot.
02:28 - Ready? Cheers.
02:29 - Cheers.
02:30 - That's just like, plain gross.
02:36 - Kinda tastes like LA.
02:37 (laughing)
02:38 You know?
02:39 Name one you've collabed, you've turned down,
02:44 tell us who and why.
02:46 (laughing)
02:50 - Wait, wait, wait, let's think, let's think.
02:52 - Ooh.
02:55 - I mean, I have answers, but I don't know.
02:57 - I have answers, I don't know if I wanna air
02:59 that dirty laundry right now.
03:00 - I don't want to either, I don't want enemies like that.
03:02 - No.
03:03 - I think we have to.
03:04 - I think, I'm sorry, I can't.
03:07 - Look, we're professionals.
03:08 - Yeah, we're, yes.
03:10 My label's watching.
03:15 - Yes, absolutely.
03:17 Your lifelong Swifty, list five of the track fives.
03:22 (beep)
03:23 - Like, number five on the track list?
03:24 - Is all too well one.
03:26 - Okay.
03:28 - Starts now.
03:29 - No, I can, you can literally play me the first 30 seconds
03:30 of any Taylor Swift song, I won't know it.
03:31 - It's the emotional ones, it's the emotional ones.
03:32 - But I don't remember the last 10.
03:33 - Last Kiss.
03:34 (buzzer)
03:35 (beep)
03:36 (beep)
03:37 (laughing)
03:38 (beep)
03:39 - I'm blinking.
03:40 - This is a crazy question.
03:41 - That is a crazy question.
03:43 - Who the (beep) knows this?
03:44 I mean, a lot of people, and you're probably
03:45 dignified people.
03:46 - You could play me the first couple of seconds
03:48 of any Taylor Swift song, I won't know it.
03:49 - I know, whoop, no.
03:50 - But for some reason, I don't know the track fives.
03:52 - I can't say I memorize the order, I know the songs.
03:57 - Time's up.
03:58 - That's actually (beep) up.
03:59 - That was mean.
04:00 (laughing)
04:00 - Y'all are (beep) up.
04:01 - It was unnecessarily mean.
04:03 - Okay, I'm hearing--
04:04 - I kinda like this one, this one's quite pretty.
04:05 - And it's a little, oh, that one's larger.
04:07 - Yeah, it has an hourglass shape, I kinda like it.
04:10 - Yes?
04:11 - Yes.

04:25 - Perhaps a track five, I wouldn't know.
04:28 - Maybe Begin Again.
04:29 - Is that a track five?
04:30 - Ooh, that's a good one.
