Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2: My guest tonight is the creator and star of the
Speaker 2: Emmy winning HBO series of Black Ladies Sketch Show. She
Speaker 2: could currently be seen in the new Prime video film
Speaker 2: Candy Knelane.
Speaker 3: Please welcome, Robin Thady. How are you Queen Theti?
Speaker 4: You know, just in the Christmas spirit?
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 4: I never thought I would be three inches tall. But
Speaker 4: the benefit is I had like a two inch waist.
Speaker 2: Okay, so that was fun. Did you get those heels
Speaker 2: from Rondy Santas?
Speaker 4: So baby, I don't want to know what's in his club.
Speaker 2: By Linzy Graham.
Speaker 1: But listen now, oh.
Speaker 2: No, He's like, no, what am I you know? Why?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 2: Now, this movie seems pretty fantastical. Their l's and magic
Speaker 2: and black Santa.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but now that's facts.
Speaker 2: The villain is a white woman. Yes, so is it
Speaker 2: fiction or not?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, who knows?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 6: It is funny to imagine a black Santa too. That's
Speaker 6: what's so exciting, right, because you know, I grew up
Speaker 6: with the typical white Santa and all the and all
Speaker 6: the books and everything. Oh yeah, but I think now,
Speaker 6: you know, I think the world's ready for a black Santa,
Speaker 6: especially David Allen Grear, Why not.
Speaker 2: Do you do you think? Do you think the world
Speaker 2: is ready to tell kids that Santa isn't real? You
Speaker 2: think that's inappropriate?
Speaker 6: You know, when I was growing up, so my parents
Speaker 6: definitely wanted me to believe in Santa. But my aunt
Speaker 6: was like, you know, Santa real.
Speaker 4: And I was like six, you.
Speaker 2: Know, and like, witness no.
Speaker 6: But my babysitter was and she told us we was
Speaker 6: going to hell because we were you know, not wness,
Speaker 6: which I was like that, don't.
Speaker 4: Feel like a tenant of your religion.
Speaker 6: But but so my aunt told us, and like as
Speaker 6: an adult, I was like, now my aunt was sleeping
Speaker 6: with somebody other than my uncle. So I feel like
Speaker 6: if she told me Santa.
Speaker 2: Wasn't real, I should tell my uncle.
Speaker 4: Your white fan real.
Speaker 2: But it's too late.
Speaker 6: Also, that's a complete lie. She wasn't cheating on him,
Speaker 6: but I thought that would be funny.
Speaker 2: I think it was about to be a rough Christmas
Speaker 2: dinner for you family.
Speaker 4: They never cheated.
Speaker 6: They you know, I don't know, here's the thing, may
Speaker 6: or just a sham And I think everyone should cheat.
Speaker 4: And I'm just.
Speaker 2: You're clearly in the lying spirit.
Speaker 4: They don't know what's happening.
Speaker 2: Why do you think Jesus doesn't headline his own birthday though,
Speaker 2: just like Santa Santa, they grinch, they get more attention.
Speaker 4: That's a good point.
Speaker 6: Jesus didn't have good marketing exactly. Yeah, and his friends
Speaker 6: were whacked. They were either trying to beat him or
Speaker 6: betray him. So Jesus got out early Tupac.
Speaker 2: You know, it was just like he was like, I'm good,
Speaker 2: you know, yeah, be a martyr Die Young bill Marks exactly.
Speaker 4: Album slap.
Speaker 6: I mean, if Jesus would have made album, that'd have been.
Speaker 4: Like top five Jesus. So why jay.
Speaker 2: Z for most? For most of them? Will you play
Speaker 2: at Christmas? Figurrey I do? And Eddie Murphy is basically
Speaker 2: he had an earpiece to hear what you were saying. Yes,
Speaker 2: that seems like a lot of pressure.
Speaker 4: Well it seems annoying. Do you want this in your
Speaker 4: ear all the time.
Speaker 6: It was funny because the first day we didn't know,
Speaker 6: we thought their ear so we would go rehearse on
Speaker 6: set as live people. Because Eddie and Tracy really trace
Speaker 6: Alice Ross's incredible in the movie Too Wanted.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So funny.
Speaker 6: They wanted me, Nick Offerman and Chris red who played
Speaker 6: all the figurines, to be there in person, improvise together,
Speaker 6: get the feeling of it. Then we would go to
Speaker 6: these sound boots and they would hear us on the
Speaker 6: mic in their ears, and we thought they only hurt
Speaker 6: us when they were rolling, But at the end of
Speaker 6: the day, Tracy just goes, you know what, you hear
Speaker 6: everything you're saying. Right, we were having debates about Drake albums,
Speaker 6: like we were just like being so annoying while they
Speaker 6: were trying to work, and they didn't tell us the
Speaker 6: whole first day, but after that we learned.
Speaker 4: So we were tried to chill out.
Speaker 2: How many times did like shooting get delayed because you
Speaker 2: guys were busy making everybody laugh all the time.
Speaker 4: Every day every day. And the cool thing.
Speaker 6: Was director Reggie Hudlin had us on set for scenes
Speaker 6: that we weren't even we didn't know if we would
Speaker 6: be in because they would animate us kind of after
Speaker 6: all the end of the live action stuff. So we
Speaker 6: were there for months and so we got to we
Speaker 6: got to hang out with them and and you know,
Speaker 6: just go crazy and and Eddie lights up as does
Speaker 6: Tracy when we go off script, especially me and Chris Redd,
Speaker 6: we were always trying.
Speaker 4: To make them break. So we never made Eddie break,
Speaker 4: but he definitely made us.
Speaker 2: Why did you like that? Because you can't remember his line, So.
Speaker 4: Let me tell you how Eddie knows everyone's lines. He
Speaker 4: is a professional.
Speaker 6: This met has done fifty movies. Okay, this is like
Speaker 6: easy for him. But no, I think he just loves
Speaker 6: that spirit. I think there's so many comedians in the movie, DC,
Speaker 6: Young Fly, Angela Johnson, all these great people, so I
Speaker 6: think he just wanted that spirit.
Speaker 2: Now. The last season of A Black Lady Sketch Show
Speaker 2: this past spring, that's right. The fact that the show
Speaker 2: was even allowed to exist as a huge accomplisation, that's right.
Speaker 2: Let alone the fact that you have picked up a
Speaker 2: lot of awards for it. It's inspiring an entirely new
Speaker 2: generation of black women. What sketch from the show are
Speaker 2: you most proud of?
Speaker 4: Probably the one way I play a man.
Speaker 2: Now, I don't know.
Speaker 6: I think one person is like I saw it.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 6: One of my most proud of, you know what, I think,
Speaker 6: court Room Kiki, which is like the Black Lady corporal.
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, I think that's fun.
Speaker 6: Because it's like it just shows like black sisterhood in
Speaker 6: a really fun way that I think we don't get
Speaker 6: to experience very often. So people always tag me on
Speaker 6: social media when they have like two black ladies at
Speaker 6: any one place, and they're like black lady dentists, and
Speaker 6: I'm like, stop clamping, get your tea figs. But yeah,
Speaker 6: so I think that's dope. But it and it kind
Speaker 6: of lives beyond the show. So I think any of
Speaker 6: those sketches, like the Bad Bitch support Group with Angela Bassett, like,
Speaker 6: you know, like we had a lot of fun, like
Speaker 6: creating these iconic moments that you don't see anywhere else
Speaker 6: in that you will never see again.
Speaker 4: You never gonna see a two two seven.
Speaker 6: Remake where we actually have Marla Gibbs and jack A Harriet,
Speaker 6: you know, just all these amazing as you.
Speaker 2: Have to have a black woman run show to do
Speaker 2: a two two seven? Absolutely sure, and.
Speaker 6: A lot of trust from HBO because I'm sure they
Speaker 6: were like, what are we making? But you know, having
Speaker 6: as rays and EP doesn't hurt, right?
Speaker 2: Did you feel fulfilled? Like did you feel like you
Speaker 2: got everything you needed to out of that show.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think.
Speaker 6: You know, for me, I don't want to like be
Speaker 6: Jordan playing baseball, you know what I mean, Like I
Speaker 6: want to like leave the legacy there, and like, first
Speaker 6: of all, he was great baseball, no shade to Jordan's
Speaker 6: Michael Jordan's because Michael Jordan's, but I mean it's better
Speaker 6: at basketball, right, I mean, that's the thing that he
Speaker 6: spent his life doing. So I just didn't want to
Speaker 6: be I never in anything that I do want to.
Speaker 4: Be like past my prime. So although I'm incredibly young,
Speaker 4: I think, yeah.
Speaker 6: So I feel good about it, but I'm always gonna
Speaker 6: be a little sad and i still think of sketches.
Speaker 4: Wherever I go, which is the problem. But you know,
Speaker 4: I never say never. You never know what can happen
Speaker 4: in the future.
Speaker 2: It feels like, well, it's not. It feels like it
Speaker 2: did check off a lot of boxes. The show did
Speaker 2: because they were black, it was women. It feels like
Speaker 2: slightly Hollywood may not be on the diversity push that
Speaker 2: it once was. Do you think they had anything to
Speaker 2: do with the show?
Speaker 4: You know back, No, no, no, not at all.
Speaker 6: I think most if you ever noticed, most shows really
Speaker 6: don't go past like three seasons anymore. I don't think
Speaker 6: the audiences really want to want that as much.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I think there's very few shows that,
Speaker 4: moving forward in.
Speaker 6: This kind of climate in the industry, are going to
Speaker 6: last like twenty fifty eighty seasons. I just think, you know,
Speaker 6: I think we're always looking for the new thing, and
Speaker 6: no one wants to oversay they're welcome. So I have
Speaker 6: such great partners at HBO, and I'm still making shows
Speaker 6: with them. I have a new show that I'm working
Speaker 6: on with them, so they'll be There'll be more to come.
Speaker 4: Ilways want to keep it friend.
Speaker 2: So we may not have the Black Latest Cat Show,
Speaker 2: but we still have Robin thet Yes, that's right, I
Speaker 2: didn't die.
Speaker 4: I didn't die just because.
Speaker 2: It shows over. Candy Kane Lane is screaming now on
Speaker 2: Prime Video. Making rob My guest tonight is a Grammy
Speaker 2: nominated singer songwriter whose latest album is called Witch six Chapel.
Speaker 2: Please welcome, Jolly Rose, Jemmy, I don't come on.
Speaker 1: My God, thank you. That's right.
Speaker 2: They all wishing you happy birthday. You celebrated it all
Speaker 2: day on Monday, right, yes, sir, fast Monday, sir, and
Speaker 2: you celebrated the number one record would save Me? Yes, sir, Yes, sir.
Speaker 2: It number one on the country look at me? You
Speaker 2: know all love saved me?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 2: You released it what three years ago on YouTube? Yes, sir,
Speaker 2: three years ago on YouTube and you posted a I
Speaker 2: know this is a little different from me, but I'm
Speaker 2: wondering if this should make the album or not? Y'all
Speaker 2: let me know below. Why didn't you believe the song
Speaker 2: should make the house?
Speaker 1: Oh? Man? Insecurity?
Speaker 5: That that that that that voice of the negativity that
Speaker 5: gets in all of our ears.
Speaker 1: Man, that one that we fired every day. I'm glad
Speaker 1: I followed enough to put it up.
Speaker 2: Absolutely did save me. Taking off change your perspective on
Speaker 2: the type of music you do and how you release
Speaker 2: it because it just three years ago it came out,
Speaker 2: but it just went number one on the country sharts
Speaker 2: this week.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, man, I want to show me that sometimes you
Speaker 5: gotta let a song find people. You know, music meet
Speaker 5: to us where we are. That's the beauty of a
Speaker 5: Charlemagne is that music is therapeutic. It's there to help
Speaker 5: and heal. It's a constant and a life that doesn't
Speaker 5: have many constants in it, so I'm just glad.
Speaker 1: To see the song finally touch people.
Speaker 2: I love your story too, Man. Fifteen years ago you
Speaker 2: were in prison, and now you're a Grammy nominated musician.
Speaker 2: So I guess my question is not fucking retic. So
Speaker 2: so my question is should everybody go to prison?
Speaker 1: Yeah to find success?
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly. They're giving it away free, y'all. Especially, I
Speaker 5: promise it's really easy to get there.
Speaker 2: In your face.
Speaker 5: Three hots and a cop, baby, you got guaranteed bad,
Speaker 5: three meals a day.
Speaker 1: It's all good. Actually, it's come. Might see a high
Speaker 1: school friend.
Speaker 2: And I love your song. She too. Man, When you
Speaker 2: address the Heroin and fenton All epidemic, why is this
Speaker 2: song so important to me?
Speaker 5: You know, man, I think it's important as an artist
Speaker 5: for us to talk about the things that people are
Speaker 5: afraid to talk about, and that art sometimes is an
Speaker 5: expression of what words are even afraid to say. So
Speaker 5: I think it's a responsibility as a songwriter to write
Speaker 5: those kind of songs. And the Fennyl epidemic is sickening.
Speaker 5: What's happening in America right now is absolutely sickening. I
Speaker 5: think it's fourteen p thank you. I think it's thank y'all.
Speaker 5: So I think I heard it's statistic that it's fourteen
Speaker 5: people an hour overdose and die in the United States
Speaker 5: of America every hour on the hour, dam twenty four
Speaker 5: hours a day, three hundred and sixty five days a year,
Speaker 5: three sixty six in a leap here. I'm that country,
Speaker 5: and I think if you think about those numbers alone,
Speaker 5: it shows me that you heard people here sharing that
Speaker 5: its effected every household.
Speaker 1: Every side of the aisle.
Speaker 5: Everybody in America has been affected by this somewhere or
Speaker 5: the other, and I think it's time we stand up
Speaker 5: to do something about it.
Speaker 2: Well, would you, right, what would you tell people who
Speaker 2: were struggling with that addiction.
Speaker 5: I would tell them that there is hope. That my
Speaker 5: biggest message as actually had. I had my first viral
Speaker 5: clip Charlemagne. I don't know if you know it.
Speaker 1: Come on, I know you did. You helped it go viral,
Speaker 1: and uh it was.
Speaker 5: I was talking about how it's so important for us
Speaker 5: to recognize that our windshield is bigger than our rear
Speaker 5: view mirror for a reason, because what's in front of
Speaker 5: us is more important than what's behind us.
Speaker 2: That who we were is not who we are right,
Speaker 2: you know that you know a lot of people may
Speaker 2: not know. But I read Juicy Jay's book, so I
Speaker 2: know you was down with three six my.
Speaker 1: Field, yes, sir from day one.
Speaker 2: Yeah. They performed just hard out there for a pimp at.
Speaker 5: Uh yes, sir, at Bonnarue, and I actually had the
Speaker 5: privilege of them going on tour with me and doing
Speaker 5: five shows, and we did hard out here for a
Speaker 5: pimp every night.
Speaker 2: Y'ah was a group though, right, It was you, a
Speaker 2: Little White.
Speaker 5: Me, Little White and our guy, our guy BPS from
Speaker 5: Indianapolis who sadly passed away Rest in peace, BPsy.
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, What did you learn from your time with
Speaker 2: three six oh.
Speaker 5: Man Everything, Little White and three six Juicy j and
Speaker 5: Paul The importance of ownership, the importance of independent music,
Speaker 5: the importance of making the music for your community, and
Speaker 5: that all that matters representing your people in music because
Speaker 5: they didn't care about representing nothing but Memphis. And the
Speaker 5: fact that the sound went worldwide just shows that how
Speaker 5: much the problems are common everywhere. So write what you know,
Speaker 5: don't write what you think you know, Write what you know.
Speaker 5: And they taught me a lot through that. But most importantly,
Speaker 5: the independence and ownership.
Speaker 2: Hip hop has more in common with country music than
Speaker 2: people realize. Like they're both great storytellers. They both talk
Speaker 2: about their vehicles a lot, you know, yeah.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, they both talk about bitches.
Speaker 2: It in twenty twenty three, say women, but no, I'm
Speaker 2: at dogs.
Speaker 1: Oh may, I brought a bunch of songs about my dog.
Speaker 2: Run. Let me get my mind out to go.
Speaker 1: That's wrong with I got my dog with me on
Speaker 1: the bus, right down.
Speaker 4: The bus dog.
Speaker 2: Speaking of that, Speaking of that, though, you know, it
Speaker 2: feels to me and I'm only getting this from what
Speaker 2: I see you post on social The more you blow up,
Speaker 2: the more it seems like you want to be around
Speaker 2: your family and your dog and your loved ones. Am
Speaker 2: I reading that correctly, sir?
Speaker 5: Man Uh, I want to anchor myself and family. I
Speaker 5: think it's the root of everything we do. Plus, I'm
Speaker 5: gonna be honest to we're a little we're a little tribe,
Speaker 5: and they're my best friends.
Speaker 1: My favorite human on earth is my wife. You know

Speaker 5: got two in the bus right now. I got a
Speaker 5: basket hound. She's got a bully, and we got a French.
Speaker 5: We got a French bulldog. Okay, yeah, we're dog people
Speaker 5: that We had a cat.
Speaker 1: I had a hairless cat, of bald cat, one of them.
Speaker 2: Listen.
Speaker 1: It was so ugly, it was cute, it was awesome.
Speaker 2: And this cat this to say about me when I
Speaker 2: was younger. Yeah, they kind of still say that.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: It's better what they said about me. He's cute, but
Speaker 1: he's fat.
Speaker 2: But all you got to do is lose wing, unlock that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I told you then i'd be a president.
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. God, that's why God didn't
Speaker 5: make me skinny. He knew had abuse the power.
Speaker 2: You know, that's all you supposed to pick a You
Speaker 2: meeting Dolly part in this past month as a country
Speaker 2: artist in Tennessee, is that like your version of meeting
Speaker 2: the pope?
Speaker 1: Oh dude, Yes, it was like meeting Jay Z. It
Speaker 1: was that big. It couldn't have gotten no bigger for me.
Speaker 2: Dude.
Speaker 5: She's the queen. She I've never seen. I don't know
Speaker 5: what you know. You're from the South, but I don't
Speaker 5: know what y'all know about a little town called Severeville, Tennessee.
Speaker 5: It's where Dolly Parton's from, and before Dolly Parton was
Speaker 5: from there and then went back to create the biggest
Speaker 5: economical shift in the history of East Tennessee. You wouldn't
Speaker 5: have cared to know Severeville, Tennessee. I mean, it was
Speaker 5: a map dots what we call it was a dot
Speaker 5: on the map.
Speaker 1: Dude. It made Monk's Corner look big. Really know what
Speaker 1: I mean?
Speaker 5: The population, yeah, I mean, god, back then, nothing I
Speaker 5: mean probably in the early thousands. But she went back
Speaker 5: to build Dolly Wood and has made it one of
Speaker 5: the best places to travel in America. So everything she's done,
Speaker 5: from music to her stance, the way she carried herself,
Speaker 5: Dolly Parton is her philanthropy.
Speaker 1: She is who I aspire to be. Man, that's dope.
Speaker 2: That's dope. I was. I was reading an interview that
Speaker 2: the Black Kid the Black Keys did recently, and they.
Speaker 1: Said, worried this is gonna happen.
Speaker 2: I had to bring it up and they said, Uh,
Speaker 2: in twenty and ten, you twenty ten, you thought they
Speaker 2: were making jokes on you. So you approached them and
Speaker 2: asked them, did they want to go? They want to fight?
Speaker 1: Is that true? It is? I'm not It's the truth
Speaker 1: story why I was.
Speaker 5: I was fresh out of jail and I was battling
Speaker 5: those you know. I mean, I was still had those
Speaker 5: habits with me, and I was just a very very
Speaker 5: insecure human.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 5: You know what I love to talk about the most
Speaker 5: about this part of the story of Charlemagne is the
Speaker 5: who I was and who I don't think again? Right,
Speaker 5: It's like, man, God softened my heart looking back at
Speaker 5: that kid. I kind of laugh. I got blushing when
Speaker 5: you brought it up because I was embarrassed a little bit.
Speaker 5: But I just took you know. I was so entitled
Speaker 5: and so angry and everything was about me, and I
Speaker 5: thought they were joking and laughing at us because I
Speaker 5: was used to being.
Speaker 1: In that kind of a situation.
Speaker 5: Ego tell yeah, Ego, it was all about ego, man,
Speaker 5: And I'm an up. By the way, I love y'all
Speaker 5: black kids. It's all peaceful. I won't try to fight
Speaker 5: you again. All we're all good. It's all peace. I
Speaker 5: think the music's incredible. I wish y'all will.
Speaker 2: You know Patrick Connie recognized it and you know, he
Speaker 2: said that you seemed angry and you've admitted that like
Speaker 2: you just did. Just now, you said you are a
Speaker 2: broken man. So what made Jelly roll hoole?
Speaker 5: Taking the time to love myself, learning to listen to myself, working,
Speaker 5: You do the work. I do the work. You know,
Speaker 5: we know I go to therapy. I'll take it very serious.
Speaker 5: My relationship with God. I'm an old I'm an old
Speaker 5: school Southern man. I'm just really rooted in my faith
Speaker 5: and that by belief, that and more than anything, my
Speaker 5: search for purpose. I quit searching to be happy and
Speaker 5: I started searching to be useful. And that's when everything
Speaker 5: changed for me. Because to me, I want to be
Speaker 5: a man of service. I want to help people. I
Speaker 5: want to lead people in the right direction. And I
Speaker 5: know that when this is all said and done, the
Speaker 5: jokes we make will come and go. The two things
Speaker 5: that will stand in Charlemagne is how me and you
Speaker 5: made people feel sure what music was made? And that's
Speaker 5: what's important. So I just want to make I want
Speaker 5: to lift people up. I tore people down for decades.
Speaker 2: Want to listen. Yeah, you know it's interesting what you
Speaker 2: said though, So it's like you said, you're an old
Speaker 2: school sovereign man. I feel the same way, but we
Speaker 2: got new school resources. So I believe in God and.
Speaker 5: Therapy absolutely, for sure. I believe in God and therapy.
Speaker 5: I believe in the universe.
Speaker 7: That's right.
Speaker 5: Hey, listen, if you convinced me that because you're an Aquarius,
Speaker 5: we get along.
Speaker 1: I'm in. I am extremely open minded at my old age.
Speaker 2: You know, I loved the video you referenced earlier. You know,
Speaker 2: when you gave the acceptance speech you recently. It was
Speaker 2: for new Artists of the year at to see am
Speaker 2: ads right? Was that pre written? Did your hip hop
Speaker 2: kick in? And that was just a freestyle off the time?
Speaker 1: What was that? It was?
Speaker 5: It was the old school freestyle half half and half right.
Speaker 5: I didn't think I was gonna win. I thought Jack
Speaker 5: Bryan had it by Landslide. I think he is one
Speaker 5: of the most incredible artists on earth and he deserved it.
Speaker 5: And I was prepared to clap for him, was my spirit.
Speaker 5: And in fact I put my hand on his shoulder
Speaker 5: and said be sure to shout me out and winked
Speaker 5: at him. But when I walked up there, I held
Speaker 5: this up and I looked up.
Speaker 1: And it said fifty seven fifty six fifty five, And.
Speaker 5: I said that, boy, you better say something that matters.
Speaker 5: And I just kind of if you ever come to
Speaker 5: a jelly Roll show and I encourage all to buy
Speaker 5: a ticket, you ever, do you ever come to a
Speaker 5: jelly Roll show, you'll see that. I call it the
Speaker 5: back row Baptism torchs. It's like an old Southern tent
Speaker 5: revival a little bit too, So I do something like
Speaker 5: that every night on stage.
Speaker 2: You had some black past.
Speaker 1: Then you when you get speech, man, I'm from Antiock, Tennessee, Bubba,
Speaker 1: there's there.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 1: It wasn't you know.
Speaker 5: We went to one hundred person churches and it was
Speaker 5: you know, seventy percent black, thirty percent white, poor people.
Speaker 5: So just I just saved different and Baptist stuff exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 5: that line is raisor thin? Right?
Speaker 2: Do you feel pressure to deliver another great except the
Speaker 2: speech after that one went viral?
Speaker 1: Well, no, because I don't expect to win anything.
Speaker 5: So you say that I'm nominated for a Grammy, and
Speaker 5: I'm just like, dude, I don't. I'm afraid that if
Speaker 5: I actually want a Grammy, Charlemagne, I would just snot
Speaker 5: rocket the whole time. That would definitely have to turn
Speaker 5: in the music on and I'm just weeping like a child.
Speaker 2: That could be you could be the new Michael Jo
Speaker 2: and me right, yeah, I was worried that's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Anyways, that's my aspiration.
Speaker 2: But you got two Grammy nominations, yes, sir, but you
Speaker 2: said you don't feel like you deserve either one. Why
Speaker 2: why is that you still dealing with like in pasta.
Speaker 1: Syndrome a little bit.
Speaker 5: I'm working on I'm working through that too, because it's
Speaker 5: like and also I just I'm really struggling with I've
Speaker 5: been killing the ego is a big part of me
Speaker 5: becoming a better person. And then you're in a situation
Speaker 5: where it's a lot of me, I, I me, me ME,
