Speaker 1: Hey guys, it's Sammy J. And welcome to this week's
Speaker 1: episode of a Leftbiro podcast. Before this episode starts, I
Speaker 1: want to acknowledge what happened at the Capitol in Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. Last week. It's been all I can think about,
Speaker 1: and we are truly going through such a dark time
Speaker 1: in our history, and I think the way to get
Speaker 1: through it is to not let hate win. And I
Speaker 1: just want to let you guys know that if you
Speaker 1: ever want to talk or you're feeling alone, feel free
Speaker 1: to D M E. My d ms are always open
Speaker 1: my instagrams. Edit Sammy J. It's I T S S
Speaker 1: A M M Y J A y E. And I
Speaker 1: hope this week's episode can be a nice distraction to
Speaker 1: all of the heaviness in the world. My guest this
Speaker 1: week is singer dancer and just genre list artists in general,
Speaker 1: Danny Lay. We start this episode talking about her new album,
Speaker 1: which is also a visual album that is insane, called Movie. Danny.
Speaker 1: Let when I tell you I am obsessed with Movie,
Speaker 1: I am not just saying that. Thank you so many questions.
Speaker 1: The visuals are insane. I know you've gotten that a lot.
Speaker 1: The transitions to it thirty minutes has never gone by faster,
Speaker 1: I will say not many artists have done long form movies.
Speaker 1: I know Frank Ocean did it, um, but like not
Speaker 1: a lot of people. So what was that process like
Speaker 1: to create the story and make it the album? Um,
Speaker 1: It's crazy because like I've always wanted to do a
Speaker 1: visual album. Um, I feel like I'm a big visual artist.
Speaker 1: So this album, the music came first for sure, and
Speaker 1: like once I finally like picked my track list of
Speaker 1: songs and everything like that, I think that's what kind
Speaker 1: of like created the story and like those are life
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it was like, okay,
Speaker 1: we started off with Superstar going into this, going into
Speaker 1: just a lot of roller coasters and everything. So the
Speaker 1: way me and Mars wrote it out together, like it
Speaker 1: was just like we wanted it to feel, so like
Speaker 1: seemingless and like transition wise was like the most important
Speaker 1: thing for us. And also like I'm a very big,
Speaker 1: like one taker type of person, Like I love one takes.
Speaker 1: If you look at my other videos like Little Baby,
Speaker 1: um all, I know, it's like all a lot of
Speaker 1: one takes. So I felt like that was the best
Speaker 1: way to capture this movie, and that's what we did.
Speaker 1: And like transition wise to which is like, yeah, it
Speaker 1: wasn't all one takes no, no, no, there was you
Speaker 1: know cuts here and there, But if you like watch
Speaker 1: the movie again, you'll see it's not very cut up
Speaker 1: like that, you know what I mean. That's crazy to me,
Speaker 1: I think something. I'm a very visual person, so when
Speaker 1: I get to see visuals, it brings the story so
Speaker 1: much more to life. And I know, so I'm eighteen,
Speaker 1: and I know you moved to l A when you're
Speaker 1: about sixteen, and I'm sure you're a very different person now.
Speaker 1: But is there anything you wish you had known as
Speaker 1: a young person living in l A? M What do
Speaker 1: I wish I would have known? Um? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm not really like a wishful type of person or
Speaker 1: like I regret this or this and that. Like I
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, everything is just growth and like
Speaker 1: you learn as you go and everything like that. But
Speaker 1: I mean I know a lot more than I do
Speaker 1: now like back then obviously, So you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I guess just all the knowledge that I have now,
Speaker 1: if I was eighteen and like with this type of mindset,
Speaker 1: what I'd be out of here. Besides being an amazingly
Speaker 1: challenged singer, you're also a dancer. Have you noticed if
Speaker 1: there are any similarities between your songwriting process and creating
Speaker 1: choreography similarities Let's see, I mean when I write music,
Speaker 1: like it all, it's all created differently for me because
Speaker 1: I can either start with like the beat, and then
Speaker 1: I just get like like the mic and just like
Speaker 1: freestyle melodies and just go through it with like that,
Speaker 1: which I guess you could say is similar to dancing,
Speaker 1: because how I dance is like me freestyling, like okay,
Speaker 1: like I play the song, I free style see a
Speaker 1: move that fits like that vibe and continue to you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, like repeat it, and I guess
Speaker 1: like with melodies, it's kind of like the same thing
Speaker 1: where it's like, Okay, I like this melody, so I'm
Speaker 1: gonna keep that melody. So yeah, I guess it is
Speaker 1: really you just go with it, and I do you
Speaker 1: think you know you were a backup dancer and you've
Speaker 1: toured with crazy people has seen you know, you've seen
Speaker 1: their performances firsthand, you're on the stage. Do you think
Speaker 1: that shaped your music at all? Yeah? Shaped me as
Speaker 1: an artist if anything, you know, because I just feel
Speaker 1: like I got to see the back end of like
Speaker 1: an artist's life. Like I started with Megan Trainer like
Speaker 1: audition for all about that based music video, and then
Speaker 1: the song blew up in like a month, so I
Speaker 1: got to see just like her label working her what
Speaker 1: she needed, like everything like that. So I feel like
Speaker 1: it definitely shaped me. Yeah, she came on this podcast.
Speaker 1: Oh sorry. I love how you started out as a
Speaker 1: backup dancer for Megan Trainer and others and now you've
Speaker 1: grown into this amazing artist. Right. Something that I've learned
Speaker 1: from doing my podcast is how human everybody is, even
Speaker 1: if they have ten million followers, and I think people
Speaker 1: need to realize that. Have you learned that through your
Speaker 1: journey of working with these other artists. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: like you said, everyone is to human, So it's all
Speaker 1: it's just like we just have extraordinary jobs. Like I
Speaker 1: look at this is like this is my job. Is
Speaker 1: what I do? I do music, So yeah, this album
Speaker 1: has just been like it's my go too. I listened
Speaker 1: to it taking a break from studying. I listened to
Speaker 1: it when I'm studying, and it's actually like one of
Speaker 1: the first albums that me and my brother like genuinely
Speaker 1: love together, my brothers, my brothers twenty he's and so
Speaker 1: he actually started making music. He's in college, and it's
Speaker 1: so interesting because I've learned a lot about hip hop
Speaker 1: through him. Um, and I know you've just been making
Speaker 1: music for so long. What advice do you have for
Speaker 1: people who are just creating music on the road to
Speaker 1: just be their authentic selves as artists. I just feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, it's took me a minute to really find
Speaker 1: my pocket, my vibe, like who I'm comfortable with working with,
Speaker 1: Like who knows me what I personally love music and
Speaker 1: everything like that. So it all takes like time and
Speaker 1: just like patience, I feel like that's the main thing
Speaker 1: is like for an artist is to have patience because
Speaker 1: it can take a very long time. I started, I say,
Speaker 1: I started at sixteen years old when I moved to
Speaker 1: l A. So I'll be twenty six some ten days.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, it took me a good minute. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, I'm grown. It took me a good minute
Speaker 1: to get to this place. So it's all about hard
Speaker 1: work and patience and then you know, just believing in
Speaker 1: yourself too, because that's important. You got to have that
Speaker 1: belief in faith. Yeah, And you know, I think one
Speaker 1: of the reasons why you're such an incredible artist is
Speaker 1: that I don't think anyone can put you in a
Speaker 1: genre like you're a genre list. Like every song on
Speaker 1: the album has a different energy, different vibes. But it's
Speaker 1: also like there's wrap, there's like a jazzy vibe, there's
Speaker 1: R and B, there's everything. Was that something that kind
Speaker 1: of came naturally in the album or was that something like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I want to make sure we you know, encapsulate all
Speaker 1: these different energies. It was natural. You know. Anytime I
Speaker 1: get in the studio, I'm either like with the producer
Speaker 1: or already have a beat type of thing. So it's
Speaker 1: just like, um, I pick on my beats. I love
Speaker 1: Like that's like I feel like I have a really
Speaker 1: good ear for picking beats. So yeah, which is a
Speaker 1: natural thing where it's like play me some joints and
Speaker 1: then boom, I like that, and then I just write
Speaker 1: to it. And then really I just like picked all
Speaker 1: my best songs out of my catalog to make this album.
Speaker 1: So it just so happened that it blended like so well.
Speaker 1: So what's your process of like when you choose to
Speaker 1: beat and you know, like, okay, this isn't Is it
Speaker 1: like a feeling or is it do you have like
Speaker 1: something in mind going into it as a feeling for sure?
Speaker 1: But I mean if I'm in a vibe of like okay,
Speaker 1: I want to make an R and beat joint or
Speaker 1: if I want to make a chap joint, like I'll
Speaker 1: have my energy of mine, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like you could tell like Monique wasn't made in the
Speaker 1: same energy your vibe as last night, Like you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, So it was like different vibes. I
Speaker 1: know you get asked this lot, but do you have
Speaker 1: a favorite from the album? Um, I don't know if
Speaker 1: I have a favorite. I really do get asked that
Speaker 1: all this time and I feel like I don't have
Speaker 1: an answer today because I like all of them. But
Speaker 1: they're so different. Yeah, there's just so many different ones.
Speaker 1: Like I don't even know, Like I think I Wish
Speaker 1: is fire, I think Situations is beautiful. Um, I love
Speaker 1: my Terms. That's one of my favorites for sure, with
Speaker 1: Party next Door. Nomas on Me is another one. Like
Speaker 1: I don't know, I love Famous it's kind of like
Speaker 1: famous Famous is like one of those songs when you're
Speaker 1: in a bad bitch kind of food and you just
Speaker 1: want to like feel confident. I feel like that's something
Speaker 1: that's you know what I realized talking to so many
Speaker 1: people my age, it's we're in this time where you know,
Speaker 1: we're going through relationships, we're dealing with all this stuff,
Speaker 1: and it's weird. With social media, it's so weird, especially
Speaker 1: like in a global pandemic um right, and it can
Speaker 1: be hard to especially like know yourself confidence in your worth.
Speaker 1: I feel like with every there's so much filter on
Speaker 1: social media. What advice do you have for just people
Speaker 1: like myself where it's hard to kind of find that
Speaker 1: confidence within yourself. I think I've learned over the past
Speaker 1: couple I guess twenty I've learned just like since I've
Speaker 1: really been in like the spotlight. I guess I would
Speaker 1: say on social media, I just feel like you just
Speaker 1: can't care because it's like if you care, if you
Speaker 1: got hate, and it's like that's just gonna drain you.
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, like nobody knows
Speaker 1: you for real, like just judging out you off of
Speaker 1: you know what, you give out or whatever. So yeah,
Speaker 1: you just can't care. You gotta just teach yourself. You
Speaker 1: gotta teach yourself because I've taught myself. I cared what
Speaker 1: but now I don't care at all. Do you do
Speaker 1: that just by like reinstating that in your mind or
Speaker 1: is it just kind like something you've you've learned as
Speaker 1: you've gotten older. I've learned as I got older. The
Speaker 1: time when you like, you know, when you would realize
Speaker 1: that something would have affected you back then and it
Speaker 1: doesn't know It's like, okay, but I'm good, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? This is growth. I just need to
Speaker 1: like time will be like my best friend. I need
Speaker 1: to learn. But sometimes sometimes I'm just a person like
Speaker 1: but I want to know. Now it's like patious. What's
Speaker 1: your sign? I'm a Leo? Leo? Okay, so you're strong?
Speaker 1: Is that? What? Wait? What are you? I'm e sagittarious.
Speaker 1: I've been wanting to get more into horoscopes. Do you
Speaker 1: believe it? Do you believe? Do you like follow them?
Speaker 1: I think they're pretty accurate. I'm not super into like them,
Speaker 1: but I know about like a couple, so like Leo's
Speaker 1: I had best friends like ever Leo's like, so I
Speaker 1: just know about certain ones. So yeah, I feel like
Speaker 1: it's one of those things where it's like if you're
Speaker 1: in it, you're in it. If you read yours, like
Speaker 1: you see how accurate it is. It's kind of trippy,
Speaker 1: like I feel like I'm really a sententarious I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's really cool though, but I think something that I
Speaker 1: was talking with one of my good friends and she's
Speaker 1: going through a breakup, which it sucks, right, it's hard.
Speaker 1: Luckily I've never had a boy friend, so I haven't
Speaker 1: had to deal with that yet. We're thinking positive on that.
Speaker 1: We're thinking positive on that. And I know, like you
Speaker 1: talk about like going through relationships in your album, what
Speaker 1: advice do you have to get over a breakup? Man?
Speaker 1: It's just some hit different, you know what they're saying.
Speaker 1: I've had a boyfriend where I'll break up with him.
Speaker 1: I broke up with him and like I was good,
Speaker 1: Like I just left him, I blocked him and never
Speaker 1: saw him again. Like it was that type of vibe.
Speaker 1: But then of course there's those breakups where it's like okay,
Speaker 1: like you're just going through it. I think it's just
Speaker 1: like finding the love, like for yourself, Like if you're
Speaker 1: I mean, I know you're still learning about dating and everything.
Speaker 1: But if you're a big lover and like you give
Speaker 1: your love to somebody a lot, like and then you
Speaker 1: guys break up, I feel like you gotta give all
Speaker 1: that love to yourself, just like occupy yourself and just
Speaker 1: you know, whatever makes you the happiest is like me,
Speaker 1: what makes me happy is like success and like working.
Speaker 1: So I'll make sure you know what I'm saying. I'm
Speaker 1: just even though I'm hurting, like, you gotta do what
Speaker 1: you gotta do because you know things will get better.
Speaker 1: Because I was, like two years ago, I was in
Speaker 1: a relationship and like what, I was so heartbroken, But
Speaker 1: I look at me now and I'm just like, wow,
Speaker 1: I'm not even tripping, Like I'm not even thinking about him.
Speaker 1: So it's like, you know, those type of moments are
Speaker 1: just things that will help you. Like yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's the vibe of famous though, Like that's the
Speaker 1: literal vibe of the song what and that was my
Speaker 1: about my egg like two years ago. But when I
Speaker 1: got in the booth, I freestyled that whole song. I
Speaker 1: just went in and just talk to my ship, because
Speaker 1: that's really how I felt, and I was like, wow,
Speaker 1: I feel so good, and like, you know, it's so
Speaker 1: interesting to me because some artists just like comes out
Speaker 1: of their subconscious like they don't even know and just
Speaker 1: like all of a sudden, it's like, right, wow, Okay,
Speaker 1: we have to take a quick break, but when we
Speaker 1: come back, we'll talk more about movie. The Amazing collaps
Speaker 1: on your latest album and what it was like working
Speaker 1: with Prince, and we're back. So many more questions about
Speaker 1: the visuals. I'm always really interested, like the production standpoint
Speaker 1: and things. How long does something like that take? To me?
Speaker 1: It took like we shot the first four days we
Speaker 1: shot different videos, so like the first day we shot
Speaker 1: all the TV stuff with the little girl, and then
Speaker 1: we shot situations in the garage, and then like the
Speaker 1: second day we shot um Superstar along with Bullshit and
Speaker 1: put You On, So like, do you see if my
Speaker 1: outfits the same on Put You Onto? Bullshit? Like it's
Speaker 1: the same day I go to the house after the
Speaker 1: dance studio. We shot the dance studio first, then we
Speaker 1: shot Bullshit in the house and all that stuff. Then
Speaker 1: at night I switched my hair to the thing because
Speaker 1: it was the same house, so it's like we was
Speaker 1: really working. I had the Bob and I changed and
Speaker 1: we shot just the bathtub scene going up like you.
Speaker 1: That was the end of that, and then like the
Speaker 1: third day we shot like I can't even remember, oh
Speaker 1: famous and Keeper was shot the same day where he's
Speaker 1: in the house and then the boys come with the flowers.
Speaker 1: Like so we were really working, like we were really working.
Speaker 1: But so it was four days and then we waited
Speaker 1: like a month after and then shot like another four
Speaker 1: days like the rest of the movie, like for five days.
Speaker 1: I'm like that whoa. I was fine, this so fascinating.
Speaker 1: And when you first of all, I love the blonde,
Speaker 1: like I love it? Thank you? Did you actually cut
Speaker 1: your hair and diet like it showed in the video?
Speaker 1: Like did you do that yourself? That was a wig?
Speaker 1: It looks so real. I know my hair Stoles is incredible.
Speaker 1: Shout out to day. I always when I first started
Speaker 1: wearing wigs, it just looks so real, and I would
Speaker 1: go up to people and be like, this is a
Speaker 1: wig because I was just so injurgued I was like,
Speaker 1: this is crazy. Wow. Do you have any other fun
Speaker 1: hair styles planned? Are you gonna keep it the blonde
Speaker 1: for a little bit, like C Yeah, Um, it takes
Speaker 1: a minute to get to this point and to be
Speaker 1: like healthy because blonde is hard on your hair. So
Speaker 1: I don't see myself changing it when I changed it,
Speaker 1: because I recently changed it's a dark but I didn't
Speaker 1: like it. I just feel like I owned the blonde.
Speaker 1: It brings a different energy. Yeah. Something that I find
Speaker 1: so interesting is that, first of all, the collapse on
Speaker 1: this album, Oh my goodness, is there a certain artists
Speaker 1: that you've worked with that you feel like has really
Speaker 1: made you discover something new about yourself as an artist? Um,
Speaker 1: I would say party next door. When we made my terms,
Speaker 1: I really felt like, I don't know. I was nervous
Speaker 1: as hell because it's party party next door and I
Speaker 1: hit him up. He doesn't do a lot of collapse too,
Speaker 1: so I hit him up asking to work and he
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I think you're fired with the pen
Speaker 1: and fire emoji. So I was like, how cool. So
Speaker 1: when I first worked with him, like, I was definitely
Speaker 1: nervous and like because I'd be shot sometimes when it
Speaker 1: comes to writing, Like, I don't know, sometimes I would
Speaker 1: get blanked out and like I mean, especially when it's
Speaker 1: just in front of new people. Yeah, it's very vulnerable
Speaker 1: and you'll have to open yourself up like that to strangers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then I was like, what are we about to
Speaker 1: write about? Like what do we like? What kind of
Speaker 1: song are we about to do? But no, he came
Speaker 1: up with the No Indeeds, Like it's like that was
Speaker 1: his first He started with this, and then I came
Speaker 1: right after, and then I came up with oh yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: like it was just like a perfect Like I feel
Speaker 1: like he taught me, Like I guess, just just have
Speaker 1: more confidence because look how fire that song's like, we
Speaker 1: really killed that song. Yeah, it's it's insane. And I
Speaker 1: love how he's in the movie too. I love the
Speaker 1: movie is there. I'm curious who did you listen to
Speaker 1: growing up? Um? I would always listen to like different people,
Speaker 1: like I used to listen to Alicia Keys, a shanty
Speaker 1: Aaliyah um Drake. I listened to Jinet I go um
Speaker 1: a ground that time. Rihanna, I'm just saying, if you
Speaker 1: and Alicia Keys did a collab, that would be right. Okay, wait,
Speaker 1: imagine a clab with you Alicia Keys and Rihanna. What
Speaker 1: I feel like that like bad, yeah, crazy, you need
Speaker 1: to manifest that. What if I had a song Danny
Speaker 1: like featuring Rihanna featuring Alia, people would be like, what
Speaker 1: the hell I think that? That's like, that's what I'm
Speaker 1: hoping that energy will bring. Right When when you recorded movie?
Speaker 1: Was it during quarantine? It was? Yeah, I actually shot
Speaker 1: a lot of that stuff in like like Babysity was
Speaker 1: shot in my garage, in my house, um, when I
Speaker 1: was in a typewriter that was my garage, in the house,
Speaker 1: The Little Girl watching TV my garage. Um. Then like
Speaker 1: the Famous House and Keeper House was my friend's house.
Speaker 1: Superstar was a house, Sweet airbnbat and got um the
Speaker 1: dance studio. Then the situation's garage was my parents actual
Speaker 1: house like in the garage are used to like rehearse at,
Speaker 1: so it was like real life. And then what else
Speaker 1: last Night with Coy that was like a hotel that
Speaker 1: we knew whatever. But yeah, so like it worked out.
Speaker 1: God was really on my side during this pandemic time
Speaker 1: because everything was really working out. When you're creating an album,
Speaker 1: it can be so broad. You know, you can literally
Speaker 1: do anything. Is there a moment when you know it's done?
Speaker 1: But there were so many times where I thought I
Speaker 1: was done, but then I was like, wait no. But
Speaker 1: this time around, I felt like it was really done
Speaker 1: because the last song that I got, I think was
Speaker 1: last Speechure I God was Mistreated Black Queen Eigil. That
Speaker 1: was the last thing I had cleared and got added
Speaker 1: because I had Mistreated in there. But Queen Isel wasn't
Speaker 1: on it. But I had sent her the song and
Speaker 1: she sent me the verse and I was like, oh no,
Speaker 1: there's gotta be in the album. But that's when I
Speaker 1: felt like it was done. It was already done in
Speaker 1: my head. But as soon as she sent the feature,
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, so then we're ready. I wanted
Speaker 1: a girl on the album too, so it was like perfect.
Speaker 1: Was there ever, um an inspiration that you wish you
Speaker 1: worked with on a song, like any anyone dead or alive.
Speaker 1: If you could have made a song with anybody, who
Speaker 1: would it be? I always said, Leah so hard. I
Speaker 1: think mentorship is so important. Working with Prince like that
Speaker 1: is insane. Yeah, what was that process like and what
Speaker 1: was something you learned from him? Um? He told me
Speaker 1: a lot, like he got He just believed in me
Speaker 1: so much, and I loved my personality and my style,
Speaker 1: so I feel like he definitely gave me confidence in myself.
Speaker 1: He always told me to, you know, be involved with
Speaker 1: everything that I do writing, Like he was like, make
Speaker 1: sure you right in your up. It's just as good
Speaker 1: as the stuff you're covering, because I was like covering
Speaker 1: songs too. And then he was just like, always be
Speaker 1: involved with your business also because you can do that,
Speaker 1: like the contracts and stuff. You know he was in
Speaker 1: he was in bad contracts where they owned all his
Speaker 1: masters and everything. So yeah, that's so fascinating to me.
Speaker 1: We have to take one more final break, but when
Speaker 1: we come back, we'll talk about what's next for Danny.
Speaker 1: Lay see if there's a possibility of acting for you
Speaker 1: since you did such a great job of it in
Speaker 1: movie and much more. And we're back. Okay, here's a question.
Speaker 1: You know, like artists are doing documentaries, would you be
Speaker 1: wanting to do that? Definitely, I feel like that's something
Speaker 1: that people. I feel like movie was a good, like
Speaker 1: scripted situation where people can just like see my acting
Speaker 1: and like my style, but definitely like the raw and
Speaker 1: like documentary vibes, just like weren't trying to go for
Speaker 1: sure to just so people can learn even more about
Speaker 1: me on some real you know vibes. Would you ever
Speaker 1: want to act? Yeah, I do definitely. That's like the
Speaker 1: next step I just told my agents was like, let's
Speaker 1: let's do some movies. I want to do a movie
Speaker 1: now that we got time there's no touring and stuff like,
Speaker 1: I definitely want to do that type of stuff. Would
Speaker 1: you ever write a movie? Write a musical? I mean
Speaker 1: that could be kind of fire. I mean I would
Speaker 1: say the movie wasn't musical in a sense. One of
Speaker 1: my final questions. This year has made us think differently,
Speaker 1: and I've been thinking about like just the future and
Speaker 1: this and that. Um as an artist, when in the future,
Speaker 1: when you win I'm sure many Grammys, What do you want?
Speaker 1: What do you want your legacy to be? I just
Speaker 1: want to be like a female that worked so hard
Speaker 1: to you know, be like a great positive influence to
Speaker 1: the world and just like just be a boss. Like
Speaker 1: I'm really trying to follow the path of like Beyonce
Speaker 1: and like Rihanna and just j Lo, like just you know,
Speaker 1: it's a boss and powerful like woman. Yeah, I feel
Speaker 1: like there's there should be more women at the top.
Speaker 1: M it's coming. Yeah, And I feel like also like
Speaker 1: us like when we need to stay together more because
Speaker 1: I feel like society tries to tear us down and
Speaker 1: it's just it doesn't help anything, right, It's easier to
Speaker 1: hate on a woman. That is so true. You know
Speaker 1: I've been I've been feeling really helpless this year, like
Speaker 1: so many people. So every podcast I want to highlight,
Speaker 1: um a nonprofit or a charity that my guest is
