The juxtaposition of heavyweight philosophical riffing with lighthearted vulnerability was really, really special. I feel privileged to have watched this, thank you.
As a queer Christian hearing Julien talk about her faith was so special to me. I know I'm watching this 5 years after publication but I'm SO GLAD I came across it today.
This did not feel like 46 mins! I was so invested in this entire conversation. It felt like a mental carwash. Very refreshing to know there are other people that have the same thoughts and idiosyncrasies that I do.
honestly, I did not intend to watch the whole interview in one sitting because of my short attention span but the purity and honesty of this video were so captivating that my mind was blown in every minute of it and i was unable to leave. Julien is such a smart and open-minded person, it was an honor to hear her thoughts on religion. thank you for this beautiful interview, I wish the best for both of you!
i’m a really anxious person, especially when it’s time to go to sleep. every night, i put one headphone in and lay in bed and i listen to this video. this conversation has helped me sleep for the last 3 months and helped me understand myself so much in the process. thank you
This is so amazing on so many levels. I feel so seen and witnessing such active listening and understanding is so refreshing. I have no words guys. Extremely comforting. Thank you. Keep being yourselves.
Really cool concept, great execution. Goes into quite a bit more depth than your run-of-the-mill music interview, and avoids the stereotypical questions. Julien's always a treat to watch/listen to because she's so insightful and honest, but this one in particular is really good because of how open and relaxed she is around you. Nice work!
I'm finishing up my visual arts undergrad and my classmates and I have had so many talks like this while we're working after class. There's something about creating with your hands freely and that prompts you to speak freely.
I’m an INFP with over a year of sobriety, I can relate to this so much. When I was going through treatment this was my favorite my favorite part. We did art therapy and it was basically hours of just shooting from the hip on canvases and talking about our feelings and what not. I saw a comment somewhere in here that summed it up well, painting freely with your hands and speaking freely. I would’ve loved to have Julien in my therapy classes, super insightful!
Conversations like this are so rare and bleatifull. Just two people talking about their issues and insecurities and sharing their individual human experience. I really admire how seemingly easy it comes with Julien's interviews. She has a gift of letting people be vulnerable.
as an INFP, i see a lot of me in Julien. i am a brand new fan but i feel so connected to her music and what she has to say, whether it be in conversation or lyrics. So yeah, i suppose personality type could be a factor in that lol
This is the coolest fucking interview type project I’ve ever come across and I was immediately at ease with the interviewer, he seems like a really cool guy. Thanks guys! Keep it up, I hope you get the recognition you deserve.
loved listening to this. it's so amazing to feel like julien shares so many of my little idiosyncrasies and feelings of anxiety and compulsion and even that she was raised on mewithoutYOU... her eloquence and lexicon in this "interview" make me love her even more! thank you for this :)
“I’m sorry, I can’t it’s not you it’s me” “Maybe no one will know” “I don’t know, we both like HALO let’s hangout” I was dying 🤣 so funny!!! I hope she comes on the show again!!!
What a cool concept. I thought I was just watching this because of Julien Baker, but now I want to watch every episode. Ryan seems like a kickass conversationalist/pal.
Fantastic interview, JB is one of my favorite musicians in interviews, she puts careful thought into everything she says. Officially added to my “favorite interviews” playlist.
This is the greatest! Just watching you two is so therapeutic, I could listen to you both all day! So much wisdom between you two. You both are like old souls. And so relatable. I love Julian! 🥰
Regarding the ideology of T-shirts… I want bought a T-shirt that said ‘stay strong’ right before I was due to have pretty major reconstructive foot surgery. Now it’s the first shirt that I grab when I’m having anxiety or panic attacks or ASD meltdowns because the texture doesn’t repulse me. So that worked out great.
I love you no matter what you think or who you are. Universally we all do. The environment we grow up in within the first 4 years of our life is crucial. We should all know this. Again Julien I appreciate you and your music so much. Thank you.
Goddamnit i love think specific brand of punk vulnerability and sensitivity. This goes syraight into my stuff to rewatch when I'm scared about life in general
Julien: So the other day I was breathing...
Ryan: Dude! Yes! Yeeees! I love breathing
Julien: I know right!!
*high five*
loved this interview.
honestly, the entire interview
The juxtaposition of heavyweight philosophical riffing with lighthearted vulnerability was really, really special. I feel privileged to have watched this, thank you.
Jeff Travilla Thank you for the thoughtfulness of your comment, Jeff!

THE DIET PILLS OF MORALITY
julien you've done it again.
not julien talking about asking for forgiveness in advance
“For all the future things I will destroy”
There are no words--this was single-handedly the best interview I've ever seen.

I’ll take that painting Julien did Hang it proudly love it
I would cry out of happiness.
I need to see the whole unedited conversation
Us, too!
i could listen to her talk forever honestly
honestly, I did not intend to watch the whole interview in one sitting because of my short attention span but the purity and honesty of this video were so captivating that my mind was blown in every minute of it and i was unable to leave.

Same!
I agree. I'm here for the second time. Watched this a couple months ago. Got reminded of it this morning and just watched the entire thing again.
i’m a really anxious person, especially when it’s time to go to sleep. every night, i put one headphone in and lay in bed and i listen to this video. this conversation has helped me sleep for the last 3 months and helped me understand myself so much in the process. thank you
“psychological birth control”
love the vulnerability in the atmosphere of these conversation topics.
That’s a great statement. Thank you very much. :)
I have severe OCD and seeing someone so cool like Julien talking about it is incredible 🥲
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This is honestly the best interview I’ve ever seen. You guys feel like genuine friends and it really showed.
hands down the greatest JB interview ive ever seen/heard!!!! thank you, Make It Perfect!!!!
Katie H. Hey thanks, Katie!
If you're looking for more, there's an amazing podcast episode of Queerology with Julien Baker that was just as incredible.
Karina Yum omg ive listened to that one!!! i agree it is sooo good!
This is so amazing on so many levels. I feel so seen and witnessing such active listening and understanding is so refreshing. I have no words guys. Extremely comforting. Thank you. Keep being yourselves.
I really love her painting. She has the light shining through her even though she can’t seem to see it. I just absolutely love her.
It transformed quite a bit during the length of their chat, but I love how it turned out- reminded me of either sunrise or sunset.
Really cool concept, great execution. Goes into quite a bit more depth than your run-of-the-mill music interview, and avoids the stereotypical questions.

Good deal! Appreciate the feedback. 🤙🏼🙏🏼💅🏼
26:20 really made me tear up like that is so freaking powerful. Amazing interview! I loved hearing her thoughts on religion!
4:46 julien is so smart with her analogies ♥️♥️♥️
Katie H. Definitely!
I'm finishing up my visual arts undergrad and my classmates and I have had so many talks like this while we're working after class. There's something about creating with your hands freely and that prompts you to speak freely.
5:24 I wonder if this was the moment she jotted a mental note down that eventually translated to the hardline lyric
'like nobody is gonna be Jesus' well well well

The way Julien speaks about her past resonates so much with me and evokes memories of my teens and early 20’s. Really appreciated it!

my comfort video fr
this is the most infp thing ever
I always thought that Julien is INFJ or INFP :P
Cam D'Ambrosio as an INFJ I can say: she is a lot like me lol
as an INFP, i see a lot of me in Julien. i am a brand new fan but i feel so connected to her music and what she has to say, whether it be in conversation or lyrics. So yeah, i suppose personality type could be a factor in that lol
Yesssss.
Curious; what's infp?
This is the coolest fucking interview type project I’ve ever come across and I was immediately at ease with the interviewer, he seems like a really cool guy. Thanks guys! Keep it up, I hope you get the recognition you deserve.
18:36 HER LAUGH

Katie H. Hellll yeah!
1:47 you know this is going to be solid gold and bundles of joy right off the bat

narae who Glad you dig it. :):)
loved listening to this. it's so amazing to feel like julien shares so many of my little idiosyncrasies and feelings of anxiety and compulsion and even that she was raised on mewithoutYOU...

I luv her :]
"Today I was a human and I did human things"
- Julien Baker
This guys energy is so wholesome, I feel like I need several high fives now
This is such a creative kind of interview. AND YOU HAVE JULIEN BAKER!!!

This is by far the best interview of julien baker...the interviewer is fantastic
im convinced this is the best interview ever. both of your openness, honesty and kindness is hugely heartwarming and inspiring to listen to. thank u
“I’m sorry, I can’t it’s not you it’s me”
“Maybe no one will know”
“I don’t know, we both like HALO let’s hangout”
I was dying 🤣 so funny!!! I hope she comes on the show again!!!
This 46 minute video covered 3-4 therapy sessions worth of insight. Julien is great at articulating her thoughts. Awesome episode!
I like how she started with nice pretty colors in the middle then surrounded it with like a dark cloud lol
This was so alive! I love listening to people who are so real and love being human without artifice.
What a cool concept. I thought I was just watching this because of Julien Baker, but now I want to watch every episode. Ryan seems like a kickass conversationalist/pal.
Make it fun. Thanks Julien for putting up with me for the picture with a young 60 yr old dad for his son!!!
I relate to Julien so much. Especially the apology part and trying to find the "right" words to always be honest.
i could listen to this for hours
this has been weirdly floating around my recommended for a few days now and it’s actually super cool,, keep makin ‘em man
almost forgot to watch this today
i feel so great after watching this. i could listen to them talking about anything for hours and id never get tired of it.
Fantastic interview, JB is one of my favorite musicians in interviews, she puts careful thought into everything she says. Officially added to my “favorite interviews” playlist.

Tell yo frayuns!
I love Julien and her dad, the acceptance is beautiful
When they were talking about telling the exact truth bc of OCD, I felt that
Such an amazing show! Love Julien and the conversation was so open and just really compelling.
JOHN! We got you in our scopes, Dr. ❤️🙏🏼💯
Man, I'm gonna have to come back to this to unpack a lot of the ideas this sparked 😂
Good!
Honestly, same.
Wow I genuinely need to watch this 10 more times and unpack it...so much to be said here

Stumbled across this in my recommended. Didn’t know how much I needed to hear all of this. *thank you*. This show is amazing
I adore this women. She is straight up awesome
“we both like halo let’s hang out” 😭

Paige Good deal! Thank ya.
18:37 the laugh.

Julien seems like the kindest person on the planet
Regarding the ideology of T-shirts… I want bought a T-shirt that said ‘stay strong’ right before I was due to have pretty major reconstructive foot surgery. Now it’s the first shirt that I grab when I’m having anxiety or panic attacks or ASD meltdowns because the texture doesn’t repulse me. So that worked out great.
Julien using one wide brush and making 3 different paintings in one sesh. The talent!! She advance apologized first time I met her. 😂
