Hey guys, brown ambition and blah 0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:24.079 blah blah. I'm Tiffany, that's Mandy. But let's get to 0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:29.120 the important stuff. Disney World. And I saw pictures your 0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:32.280 mom is super cute from your bridal shower. 0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:33.479 Wow, I can't keep up. 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:37.360 Well, I am, I just woke up from a napstarm loopy. 0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:39.240 I'm like, oh, so many things. Okay, I'm five. 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:42.680 Disney World. Okay, for the first time ever, you went 0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:43.360 to Disney World. 0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:45.279 Yeah, I didn't go as a kid. My dad and 0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:47.000 mom were like, yeah, there's five of you, So that's 0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:48.040 not happening, man. 0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:50.920 What so just for the hell of it, or were 0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:52.720 you down there for work already? 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.720 Well? Yeah, So the team and I we were relaunching 0:00:55.800 --> 0:01:00.400 and reopening the Literature Academy, and so there's some things 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:02.800 that we just wanted to do in person, and we 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:05.560 always promised ourselves the next time, like the core team, 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:08.400 the next time we reopened the Academy and launched it again, 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:10.880 that we would do it someplace warm, because I think 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:12.760 the first time was like in Jersey and like in 0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:17.640 the winter. So we all flew down to Orlando and 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.200 the last day we were kind of out there. Our 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:23.120 director he does like all our videos and stuff. He 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:24.720 was like, I'm going to Disney World. Om are you 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:27.640 guys wanna come? And I was like, the happiest place 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:31.640 in the world on Earth. Yeah, and it was indeed 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:33.600 the happiest place on that I had such a fun time. 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:36.399 What's the going rate for Disney World right now? I 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:37.080 have no idea. 0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:39.880 I think it was like one hundred and ten or 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:41.680 twenty nine, but we had the hookup hollow if you 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:45.560 haar me. I'm not certain how much we should I 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:47.200 should talk about it. I'm going to talk about it. 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:51.160 So we met somebody who worked at Disney and let's 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:53.680 just say we didn't have to pay full price. 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:55.400 So you got a friends and family discount. 0:01:55.960 --> 0:02:00.720 Yeah, is what we'll call it. A cash only friends 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:02.000 and family just got me. 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:05.160 With anyone who sweat their life out waiting in line 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:08.440 a Disney World as a child. Me is a little 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:10.040 bitter about that, but that's okay. 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.760 But we just had such a good time. Yeah, what 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:16.600 it was. I mean, I could see how a parent 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:20.800 bringing a kid would be very overwhelming because it's just 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:23.519 a lot you know, but like as like three adults 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:25.440 who can like be like, yeah, we don't want to 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.360 do that, we want to do this. It was just 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:29.360 really a lot of fun. 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:31.320 I feel like that is the way to do is 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:34.919 to Disney World. Like my parents took us, all three 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.520 of us. There's four of us, but they took the 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.840 three of us a few times. I guess when they 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.560 had four they were like hell no, but they took 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:45.440 three of us. And I was like under the age 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:47.760 of five, and I look at photos and every photo 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:50.720 I'm like, I look sad, I'm crying, I'm like pitching 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:52.640 a fit, and I'm like, man, maybe they should have 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.359 waited until I was old enough to appreciate the experience 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.680 and not just whining because you know, I had to 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:02.400 walk around Disney year old. But the like the good parts, 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:04.840 like the one of the best things that I have 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:07.720 from that time. It's like all the little videos, home videos, 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:12.200 old school videos of my family at Disney World. They 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:16.160 were it wasn't all like dramatic mandy moments, but yeah, 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:18.400 did you know that you could. One of the things 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.480 I did recently was I found all my dad's and 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:24.200 my mom's old VHS tapes and I it wasn't cheap, 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:27.200 but I went and got them like converted into digital 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:31.920 files and DVDs because they were like falling apart. I mean, 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.040 the tape was coming out and I wanted a way 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:37.040 to preserve those memories, and I went to Walgreens. I 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:38.760 wonder if anyone out there has been to a better 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.120 like has an idea of a better service. But we 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:44.200 just picked Walgreens randomly and it took a couple of weeks. 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.720 But now it's really cool because now we have them 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:47.560 like online. 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:48.840 That's awesome. 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:53.480 I think it was maybe twenty bucks per DVD. I 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.360 want to say I spent a couple hundred bucks on it, 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.560 but that was for maybe yeah, I think. 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:01.720 Yeah, because it's like these are things you're never going 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:03.200 to be able to see again. We weren't really like 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:05.840 a videoing family. I mean, we took a lot of pictures, 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:09.640 but not really a whole lot of video or I'm 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:11.720 trying to think maybe we did. Who knows, because you know, 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:13.840 we all had those little video cameras. I think my 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:15.920 dad does have. I should look because that would be 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:17.840 great to look back and be like, oh my gosh, 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.080 look at young Tiff acting like a brad. 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:25.279 Well, that's really awesome. Well, joke's on you, because the 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:26.920 weather here was like amazing this. 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:29.520 Week, I know, and meanwhile it was like raining, and 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.840 I was like, are you kidding me, Orlando, get it together. 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.520 I know. Two days, the first two days, well those 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.719 are the days we were kind of like hold up 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:38.880 in the house. So what we did was it was 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.560 just cheaper because we were all flying from different places. 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:45.680 Like like my marketing and business partner he was like 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:48.000 flying from like I don't even know, He's always in 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:51.479 some part of Thailand. The director was flying from like 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:55.679 Columbia or something like that. My coo Sierra was flying 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:57.880 from Philly, and I was actually flying in from Boston 0:04:57.920 --> 0:04:59.920 because I was in Boston to do a speaking event. 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:01.840 So we were literally all flying in from like all 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:05.279 around the world. And then we just got a really 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:10.080 dope airbnb. So it was like four bedroom, three bathroom, 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:12.800 and we were there for I think like four days, 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:17.239 and so the first two and a half three days 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:20.400 were really just like ten to twelve our work days. 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.359 So like a lot of folks were like, oh my god, 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:24.039 I wish I was there. I'm like, no, you don't. 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:25.560 It was brutal because we'd. 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:27.400 Go to bed like an off site. 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:29.920 Yes, because we had to, because you wanted to focus 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:34.480 when you're home, like there's so many distractions, but here 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:38.599 it's we literally like wake up, eat, work, go to sleep, 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:41.440 right because we just really wanted to make sure that 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:43.040 this was going to really be the last time we 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:48.200 launched the Academy again, and so we really wanted to 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:49.960 like go out with like a bang. And so we 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.239 were just like, let's get core team in one place 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:55.120 so we could just focus and there were like literally 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:57.240 no distractions. It was like either you're working or you're 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.640 sleeping or eating. That's it. And then the last day 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.080 we were like, you know what, almost everything's done. We 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.320 did a little work in the morning, and you know, 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.479 when JP Or and you know, our director said let's 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.840 go to Disney, I was like, yeah, let's say it. 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.640 I bought my Mickey Mouse or Minie Mouse ears yo, 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:13.920 me and Sierra, my CEO. We were like giddy the 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:16.159 whole time, like, oh my god, I'm like we're here. 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:18.520 I love that you brought your own ears because you 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.120 knew they'd be like twenty five dollars. 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.760 No no, no, no, no, no, I mean I bought them. 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:24.760 I mean me and I bought them at at Disney. 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.240 But no, okay, it's yeah, you know, because you know 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.039 got that food, Ali, if you hear me. But we 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:32.600 had so much fun. Honestly, we were terrible. We were like, 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:36.040 so what is this fast pass? Elaine? Can we just 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:40.080 go on the other side? I guess we can the 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.840 difference between a one hour wait and a three minute wait. Yes, 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.279 I did, and I'm not ashamed of it. I'm not 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:49.120 mad at you, right, Disney hacks. 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.320 Listen, we can't. We have to talk about the Oscars, right, Yeah, 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:53.640 we do. Yeah, I know you probably didn't watch it. 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:55.120 Don't worry. I watched it for you. 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:55.800 Okay. 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.760 The entire thing, except for the last twenty seconds, which 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:00.800 turned out to be the most import were in tie 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:03.840 seconds of the night. So I think, like a lot 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:06.679 of people, as soon as La La Land was announced 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:09.360 as Best Picture winner, I was like, Okay, it's eleven forty. 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:11.320 I need to go to sleep. It's fine. I don't 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:14.240 need to hear their speech, you know, sad move. I 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:16.040 was sad that Moonlight didn't win, But like, at the 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.640 same time, I really liked La La Land, so I 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:20.640 didn't go to bad ang. I didn't go to bed angry, 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:22.800 but I woke up at like six and I was 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.600 scrolling through in like Twitter and Facebook, and I was 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:28.320 so confused. I was like, what is all this moonlight 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:32.360 and like and then I saw the video that is crazy? 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:36.160 Yeah, do you think it was on purpose? Like a joke? No? 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:40.320 No, no. So I have been following all the news 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:43.440 today and they finally figured out what happened. So essentially, 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:47.600 at this award, at the Oscars, Price Waterhouse Coopers is 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:50.840 this huge accounting firm and they are in charge for 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:54.680 the last eighty years of counting the ballots and creating 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.640 the envelopes that announce the winners, and they keep them 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.280 under lock and key. There's two people assign and they 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:02.840 each have one briefcase, and one person is standing on 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.280 either end of the stage just to be ready for 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:08.000 whichever side the presenters come out. So if you come 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:09.800 from the left, you get an envelope from that person. 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:11.560 If you come from the right, then the other person 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:15.600 hands you their envelope. And everything went fine the whole night, 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.200 and then when they got to best Picture, the guy 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.120 who was handing the envelope to the presenter who was 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:24.720 who were fade unaway and Warren Batty handed them the 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:29.200 wrong envelope, handed them his copy of the Best Actress 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.960 winner who the other person? You had the car? The 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.360 other his counterpart on the other side, had already handed 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:40.520 out her Best Actress envelope to the other presenter, so 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:43.160 he had one left because that presenter hadn't come from 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.199 his side, and instead of handing the Best Picture envelope, 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:49.440 he handed the Best Actress. But what boggles the mind 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.720 is that Warren Batty, if you watch it, like if 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:54.360 you were watching live like I was, I was like, 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.720 why is he trying to make this drag out and 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.960 be funny about it? Because he opened it and looked 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.120 and he smart and then he showed it to Fay 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:03.960 and he's like, you know, like it felt like he 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.080 was screwing with everyone, and I was like, just say it. 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:08.520 And then Fay is like, oh, it's La La Land. 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:11.680 And it turns out what he had why he was 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:15.840 so confused is because it said best Actress from La 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:18.560 La Land. But they read it anyway, which is like 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:21.200 if I don't know, I mean, I guess you can 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:24.480 say what they do in their shoes. But like someone 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.720 should have been like, wait a second, and let's figure 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:30.400 out what is happening before. And then it took over 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:32.880 two minutes like la Land, and then was up there 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:37.320 like three people had given speeches. Three and then you 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:39.800 see you see a guy with like a headset kind 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:41.880 of milling, and you see some confused faces in the 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:45.679 crowd behind the people giving speeches, and all of a sudden, 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:48.720 the guy who's giving a speech cuts himself off and 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:52.040 he's like, actually, guys, we lost. And then the I 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:53.599 forget I don't know who exactly it was. One of 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:57.680 the producers held up the correct envelope and said, Moonlight, 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:02.000 there's been a mistake. You guys won. Yeah, and the 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:06.840 entire holy crazy crazy, and then the Moonlight cast is 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:08.440 like and he had to keep saying, it's not a joke, 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.280 it's not a joke. You guys won, And he held 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:12.920 up the envelope and the camera got it and you 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:16.959 can see Moonlight best picture. And then of course everyone 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:19.920 in the like there's a great meme of like Taraji 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:23.520 and Octavia Taragi's face just like the whole night. They 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:26.160 should have had a camera on her face for every moment. 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:30.000 She is the best. Everyone just like lost their minds. 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:34.480 That's like, gee, never happened ever. I mean there was 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:37.439 one time I read, like in the sixties when Sammy 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:41.160 Davis Junior messed up the the music like the Best 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.960 Song Winner or something like that. But nothing never best picture. 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.360 The best picture is like the Oscar. 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:48.800 Yeah, that's the reason everyone watches for three and a 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:53.240 half four hours. And so there's been all you know, 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:56.520 of course, there's been like think pieces on you know, 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:59.679 stealing the moment from Moonlight and you know they were 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.320 sort of robbed of their whole win or whatever. 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:02.679 I mean. 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:06.600 This is a film with an all black cast about 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:11.440 a gay teenager being bullied and his mother who's a 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.400 crack addict, and he's taken in by a drug dealer 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.720 in his neighborhood and it shows his his like journey 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.720 through adults from childhood to adulthood, and you see three 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.000 versions of his life. I mean, like, this is a 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.679 type of black film that's never one best picture. 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:25.400 Yeah. 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:29.120 Ever, Like, it's not about slavery, it's not about some 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.280 you know, sexual someone being sexually assaulted. It's not about 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:35.000 it's not a negative you know, it's it's a it's 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:38.520 a it's an lgbt Q story about a black boy 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.920 for boy. On so many levels, it's a groundbreaking it's 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:43.319 based on a play like I. 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:48.280 Mean, yeah, yeah, he was the first Muslim they ever 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:50.880 ran an oscar? Was it? Yeah? 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:53.520 Maherschela ali One had just had won. He was like 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:55.520 the first award of the night. He won Best Supporting 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:58.679 Actor for playing Wan in the movie who was the 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:03.000 drug dealer of like godfather to Sharon who's the boy 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:06.200 or Chyne who's the boy in the film. But anyway, 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:09.920 so like you you could you understand why people were 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:11.800 like it was already going to be historic for them 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:14.480 to win, but the fact that they won like in 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:17.160 that way, some people were upset that they felt like 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:21.720 the beauty and like the purity of that win was lost. 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.600 But then I kind of, I don't know, it almost 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.679 became like a The way that they handled it, the 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:29.480 way that La La Land handled it, and the way 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:32.200 that Barry Jenkins handled it, I thought was really beautiful 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:34.480 because as soon as Barry got up there, he was 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.280 thanking the La La Land producer. He's like that was 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:39.280 that was so gracious. I don't know what I would 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:41.880 have done in that position. I mean to find out 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:44.200 that you won and then you lost, Like that's freaking 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:45.160 embarrassing and like. 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:47.760 Crush, Yeah, no it is because it's not their fault. 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:51.120 It's not allow of catch fall. Yeah, so it's but 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:53.240 you're rack like I did see some interviews like Emma 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:56.480 Stone it's an actor, and she was just like, you know, 0:12:57.120 --> 0:13:00.320 she was like, honestly, is it disappointing? Yeah, of course, 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:02.400 but honestly I love Moonlight and she just was gushing 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:05.120 about it, and I thought, you know that despite all 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:08.440 of that that and even like you said, I mean, 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:09.760 you don't know what you did if you're up there, 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:11.640 I know, the warm babies, like, what the entire hell 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:12.080 is going on? 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:14.760 He came out later He's like I just wanted to 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:17.560 explain what happened, and he's kind of and then Jimmy Kimmel, 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:19.720 the host, he I thought he did a you know, 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.520 the best he could, trying to like like deflect or 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:25.880 not deflect, but like calm down that he cracked us 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:29.880 Stevie Stevie Steve Harvey joke. He was like, I blame 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:30.560 Steve Harvey. 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:33.640 That was good. If you ever get in trouble, just 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:34.400 blame Steve Harper. 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.160 Just blame because I mean, but I was like, that's 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:41.720 miss America. This is the freaking Academy. Yay, all drama 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:44.640 and all that aside, Like Moonlight is I mean, if 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.679 you haven't seen it yet, watch it. It is beautiful, 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:50.280 and then watch Moonlight too, because it's beautiful. I've said before, 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:52.880 it's so impossible to compare the two movies. They are 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:56.640 two different. I think to say one is better than 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:58.920 the other. I think they're both extraordinary for what they are. 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:01.839 But Moonlight, like, there's never like in terms of like 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:05.839 originality the subject matter, there was not another There's never 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:08.640 been a film like it. But you should go see it. 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:13.200 No, that sounds awesome. I mean unless I know, have 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:16.360 you followed this Remy Ma Nicki Minaj's beef. 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:24.960 Was like while we're here, Oh no, I just thought, like, 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:26.600 we hardly know who remym is? 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:29.240 Can I admit that? No, that's fine because I don't. 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:31.479 I think I saw her on him on Spotify? 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:35.320 Is it him? Y? Yeah, she almost had it her. Sorry, 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.160 Millennials are like, who's remy Ma? I think it's hilarious, 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:40.200 but I'm like millennials like, oh my god, this thing 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.440 is going to give remy mind like a whole career. 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:45.600 I'm like, girl, I was here, she was here. She 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.840 was before Nicki Minaj was anything. There was Remy Ma. 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.720 So she was like back in the day when they 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:53.800 used to have like rap crewise they still have somewhat, 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:56.360 but like how Young Money which is Drake and like 0:14:56.440 --> 0:15:00.240 you know, or cash Money Drake and and and Little 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:03.160 Wayne and all of them. So back then Terror Squad 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:06.920 was like a crew which was Fat Joe, Remy Ma. 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:10.920 Oh what is the other guy's name? That big pun. 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.480 So they were like all Hispanic for the most part, 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:16.000 I'm thinking, is remy Hispanic? I think so. So anyway, 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.560 she was like the girl of that crew. How like 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.120 Little Kim was like the girl crew with like Junior 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:24.600 Mafia and Big you know. So anyway, so Remy Ma 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.840 she got into trouble for beating up and allegedly shooting 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:32.840 one of her friends over money, I think whatever. She 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:34.960 went to jail for a long time, like nine years, 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:37.400 and then she came out. So she was she went 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:39.520 to jail really at the height of her she was 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:42.080 just starting to really build her her career. She went 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:46.440 to jail for doing that, came back and then landed 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:49.600 a spot on Love and Hip Hop, where, oddly enough, 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.400 she wasn't really the drama one like you know, like 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:54.760 everybody else on those Love and Hip hop kind of shows, 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:58.200 it's all about dramatics, but her her storyline on there 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:00.920 is really about her and her husband, who like waited 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:03.440 for her. They got married right before she she one 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:05.000 away or she I think day actually got married while 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:08.240 she was in prison, and I don't know. It's it's 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:11.000 oddly beautiful their love story and how much he loves her. 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:14.280 So that's oh, oh okay, I'm trying to catch up 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:18.680 while you're talking. Wait, it's like the Mink mil Drake 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:20.480 beef of twenty sixteen. 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:23.240 Yeah, kind of a girl because they haven't really had 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:25.080 female rap hip hop beef in a long time. 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.960 Was she like beefing with Little Kim? 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:31.000 No, so, Nicki Minaj was a little bit beefing, was 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:34.840 Little Kim, Because I guess Kim felt that Nikki kind 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.240 of basically stole her whole swag, which I'm not gonna 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:39.880 say I disagree with. I mean, you know, Nicki's like 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:42.200 when you really look at Little Kim and like even 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:44.720 some of the ways she dresses where Nikki dressed at first, 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:47.480 and some of her inflections and cadence and stuff like that. 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.480 I'm not gonna totally disagree, so but you know, but 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:53.560 no one has really been able to when they've kind 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:55.800 of come at Nikki really make a DBT and then 0:16:55.960 --> 0:17:00.200 enter in remim aka Gangsta Boo and so she. I 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:04.000 guess Remy has been putting out music and actually surprisingly 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:05.480 because you know, you don't often get a chance to 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:07.600 come back, her music has been doing well. She just 0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:10.119 got nominated for a Grammy. She had a song out 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:12.040 where people were like, ooh, are you talking about Nicki, 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:15.439 and she specifically addressed and said no, Like in an interurview, 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:17.119 she said, I'm not talking about Nicki stopped trying to 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:19.840 make beef between rap women. But I guess Nicki felt 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:21.760 like she was talking about her. So Nicki went on 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:25.159 to do I think two cameos where she clearly was 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:28.480 dissing remiwand so Remi wand came out with a song 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:31.560 called Sheather, which is the play on ether. I don't 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:33.159 know if you remember the I don't know how you 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:37.640 cannot remember the jay z Nos beef, which was put 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:40.879 to bed by Naz's epic most epic diss record of 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:44.040 all time, Fight Me if you want, called Ether where 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:47.399 he kills jay Z on this record, and so she 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:49.560 did like a play on it called Sheather with the 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:53.240 same beat. And although I was not like super impressed 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:55.159 with the flow and stuff, just the things that she 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:57.520 was saying were like, well, the part that really struck 0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:00.399 me wasn't really anything else other than the financial I 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:03.240 was like, wow, because you know, me financed. So here's 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:04.560 the part that struck me. For those of you're like, 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:07.359 where's all this going? The financial piece, I was like, 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:12.360 So rebby Las says in this rap, Nikki, you have 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:15.119 a three sixty deal, which is supposed to be like 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:18.160 the worst deal in the in the in the record industry. 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:20.840 And what that deal is is like a major record 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:25.520 label gets on like a major artist. So let's just 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:30.800 say Lil Wayne, and then Lil Wayne is under or 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:34.800 or signed somebody like a Drake, So Lil Wayne now 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:37.280 has its own record label under that label, and then 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:40.760 Drake has his own record label under Little Wayne. So 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:44.080 basically it's like major record label, major artists record label 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:46.800 under them, then major artists under them's recular so like 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:49.800 three record labels, and then they signed Nikki, so like, 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:51.760 that's like, I mean, that's not exactly what happened, but 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:55.359 I think she said first it's like Republic, then cash money, 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:57.919 then young money or something like that. And she says 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:01.440 in the rap that five people touch your money before 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:03.920 you do, because it's one of the worst deals because 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:08.240 one you're not directly signed, so you're not It's bad 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:10.800 enough that a label gets a cut, but it's like 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:13.240
