Speaker 1: Welcome to Checking In with Michelle Williams, a production of
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio and The Black Effect. Hey there, thank you for
Speaker 1: checking in. Welcome to another fun episode. Yes, you get
Speaker 1: just me. I guess I'm starting to get a little
Speaker 1: more comfortable doing solo episodes. You know, I get very
Speaker 1: comfortable being curious about the lives of others and things
Speaker 1: that they have going on. And you know, my producers
Speaker 1: every now and then they share with me. You know,
Speaker 1: Michelle people, they're interesting in what you've got going on too.
Speaker 1: So I'm excited about this week's episode. And again, I
Speaker 1: appreciate y'all for always tuning in every week, downloading the episodes, y'all,
Speaker 1: that is so important. I could not be in another
Speaker 1: season of Checking In. Now. By the time y'all hear
Speaker 1: this episode, I will be in Ireland. Yes, Ireland, I'll
Speaker 1: be in Ireland. You're like, what's going on in Ireland.
Speaker 1: I'm filming something. I'm filming something pretty cool. Now. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure why it's being filmed in Ireland, but that's
Speaker 1: where I'll be literally by the time you get your
Speaker 1: ears to this episode. But I'm excited. Maybe i'll see
Speaker 1: some relatives that are there yes, I have Irish family members.
Speaker 1: I won't go too much into details because I get
Speaker 1: nervous about revealing certain names and all that stuff because
Speaker 1: you know them security questions you have to go through
Speaker 1: when you're trying to get into an account. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: people are crazy folks, folks be they take notes of it,
Speaker 1: almost everything you say. So that's why I don't do
Speaker 1: those games on Facebook where it says, tell me the
Speaker 1: street you grew up in when you were a child,
Speaker 1: tell me Nope, because I think people we've taken that
Speaker 1: data that we just so freely be thinking we're playing
Speaker 1: a game and all along they trying to get the
Speaker 1: answers to your security questions. But y'all go on, have fun.
Speaker 1: But again, I didn't mean to go down the rabbit hole. Basically,
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is, yes, I do have Irish family members,
Speaker 1: and I did. I did my ancestry. And the reason
Speaker 1: why I know it is fact because some of my
Speaker 1: ancestry came back with what do you call it? It
Speaker 1: detected Irish ancestry all right, along with Nigerian and ghanad Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, cool, So I'm excited. Okay, these the past
Speaker 1: few weeks have been absolutely amazing. I spoke at Dyllar University,
Speaker 1: performed at the Las Vegas Raiders game. Not this past
Speaker 1: Sunday that y'all just passed, but the last Sunday. I
Speaker 1: was supposed to do that game a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: but I came down with the flu. Nope, it was
Speaker 1: not COVID. We tested for COVID. It was not COVID.
Speaker 1: It was just this flu that's running around, so I
Speaker 1: could not. I was afraid that I would not be
Speaker 1: able to perform at my best, so we rescheduled it
Speaker 1: so I was able to do the Raiders game two
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Then literally flew from Vegas to the Dominican Republic,
Speaker 1: which I shared in the last episode, and came back
Speaker 1: from the Dominican Republic. And why do I feel like
Speaker 1: a few days after that was a Thanksgiving? I'm yeah,
Speaker 1: so literally we got back from the Dominican Republic that
Speaker 1: week and and then yeah, the following week was Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: So how did y'all holiday turn out? I know everybody
Speaker 1: don't celebrated. How did your friends give me? Mine was
Speaker 1: more like a friends giving. I hosted Thanksgiving for the
Speaker 1: second time in my life. The first time I hosted
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving was back home in Illinois, and when all my
Speaker 1: family members left, there was a greasy, literally a palm print,
Speaker 1: and I remember whose palm print it was. It was
Speaker 1: my uncle, his greasy palm print on my walls. And
Speaker 1: I said, I'm not hosting Thanksgiving again, even though that's
Speaker 1: nothing that a magic eraser came scrub off or a
Speaker 1: little bit of you know, dishwashing, detergent, liquor whatever you
Speaker 1: want to call him, a little microfiber cloth. But yeah,
Speaker 1: so yeah, I just did a little gathering in my home,
Speaker 1: got all the fixings, cooked a few little things the
Speaker 1: night before. We did. I just we, you know, we
Speaker 1: just did you know, the regular some crab stuff, doubled eggs,
Speaker 1: some green some yams, some macaroni and cheese. Dressing. I did, y'all.
Speaker 1: I cooked dressing for the first time in my life,
Speaker 1: and it was off the chain. I used real buttermilk
Speaker 1: corn bread, like, not the instant kind. I didn't use
Speaker 1: my favorite kind. They shall go unnamed, but it's my
Speaker 1: favorite kind. It's a sweeter type of corn bread. I
Speaker 1: hope you're picking up what I'm putting down, but I
Speaker 1: used a regular corn milk. You know, buttermilk corn meal,
Speaker 1: and it was it was divine, was amazing. What else?
Speaker 1: What else? What else? Some desserts we had pound cake,
Speaker 1: pumpkin delight, and you guys already know pumpkin is acquired
Speaker 1: taste for me. But it was good. It was really,
Speaker 1: really really good. It was really good, Okay. And the
Speaker 1: way that it was made, with the spices and everything
Speaker 1: in it, I was like, okay, let me stop hating
Speaker 1: on pumpkin. Let me stop hating on pumpkin. Okay. What
Speaker 1: I'm trying to not talk about is the turkey. The
Speaker 1: turkey was fabulous. It was a smaller turkey because I
Speaker 1: wasn't expecting that many people. So I dried rined it
Speaker 1: the night before and we spatch cocked it. Spatch Cocking
Speaker 1: is when you you take the scissors or your whatever
Speaker 1: your cutting device is or meat and you cut the
Speaker 1: spine off and you kind of flattened the breasts up
Speaker 1: in the front. Did that, and I think we should
Speaker 1: have just stopped with the dry brine, or maybe we
Speaker 1: did need to drive riding. I don't know, but we
Speaker 1: injected it with some creole butter, like oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: and just kind of seasoned it season the top a
Speaker 1: little more because I was reading where it says you're
Speaker 1: supposed to season the meat generously. Oh, it was smelling
Speaker 1: so good, but it was a little salty. I think
Speaker 1: all the brining and the injecting of the bird. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what do y'all think? Tell me how you if you
Speaker 1: roasted a turkey, what do you do? A lot of
Speaker 1: people smoke their turkey, And one day I am going
Speaker 1: to get a smoker because I do love smoked turkey
Speaker 1: for sure. I loved I love how it tastes. I
Speaker 1: love smoked meat. It tastes really, really really good. And
Speaker 1: then maybe we ate the leftovers for about a day
Speaker 1: or two, and then, like Plice has said, you guys
Speaker 1: have to watch his rules for Thanksgiving, it's time to
Speaker 1: get rid of the Thanksgiving leftovers. Okay, I can imagine.
Speaker 1: I wonder how much food poisoning. I wonder how many
Speaker 1: people go to the emergency room for food poisoning around
Speaker 1: the holidays, because maybe people don't clean properly, meaning your kitchen,
Speaker 1: your utensils, and people don't maybe clean the neaed or
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. If samonella begins to form,
Speaker 1: you tell me I don't know. I don't know now,
Speaker 1: I'm just not recovering kind of from Thanksgiving. I won't
Speaker 1: go into details, but yeah, I believe I'm not supposed
Speaker 1: to eat dairy. I got a feeling I probably have
Speaker 1: to lay off of gluten. But I'm afraid to take
Speaker 1: the test because I'm afraid it's gonna tell me that
Speaker 1: everything that I love is bad for me. So we'll see, guys,
Speaker 1: we'll see. I was excited about Thanksgiving, and I was
Speaker 1: excited to tell y'all all about it. So Thanksgiving was Thursday,
Speaker 1: spent the whole day chilling. Friday, Saturday morning, I took
Speaker 1: an early flight to Los Angeles, checked in my room
Speaker 1: at a few hours of downtime. Then Jason Bowling arrives
Speaker 1: with all the goodies. He arrives with all the goodies. Yes,
Speaker 1: I went to Los Angeles for Beyonce's Renaissance movie premiere,
Speaker 1: and y'all heard me talking to my girl Noah Jones
Speaker 1: a little bit about social anxiety. I think the pandemic.
Speaker 1: We all got so cozy being in our homes, being
Speaker 1: able to literally work virtually that now bigger events kind
Speaker 1: of spooked me out. But this was with family so
Speaker 1: and I know how to get in and get out.
Speaker 1: I know where to sit. I know. I look at
Speaker 1: the exit signs and I just planned my exit. Okay,
Speaker 1: so yes, let's get back to about Jason Bolan arrived
Speaker 1: at my hotel Saturday around it was before eleven am,
Speaker 1: and just bags and bags. He had this this rack.
Speaker 1: He wrote, this big old rack into my room. It
Speaker 1: was so cool, him and Meek and his photographer Marcus.
Speaker 1: So he pulls out all these clothes and you probably
Speaker 1: can see some of some of the behind the scenes
Speaker 1: on his page. Go to stylus j Bolan on Instagram
Speaker 1: and you can see some of the behind the scenes footage.
Speaker 1: You know, Jason knows me to be a little safe.
Speaker 1: He does push me a little bit, but I didn't
Speaker 1: know he was gonna push. Okay, what's the young man
Speaker 1: on Instagram? Is he does? He go by a king push?
Speaker 1: Let me see his page. I was like, it just
Speaker 1: made me think of him because he did a he
Speaker 1: did a fashion review. Is it what's the what's his name? Oh,
Speaker 1: that's pushing tea. That's not y'all know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: The young man. I feel horrible. He's absolutely hilarious. Yes,
Speaker 1: King's daily push. Okay, So Jason Bowling, he pushed me
Speaker 1: a little bit. He pushed me to show a little
Speaker 1: more than I personally like to show. So I was like, okay, okay, okay, okay, listen, y'all.
Speaker 1: I do a lot. I do a lot in the
Speaker 1: faith based world. Okay, I'll go ahead and say I
Speaker 1: do a lot. And some people would call it ministry, right,
Speaker 1: But yet the world knows me from the mainstream, right,
Speaker 1: So it's balancing when to give it. But I also
Speaker 1: have to balance, Okay, the realm of life that I'm
Speaker 1: choosing to walk in, a realm that I believe that
Speaker 1: I am divinely, I believe a realm that God is
Speaker 1: pushing me to. Right, so I do kind of bow like, Man,
Speaker 1: should I where this? Should I do that? Before it
Speaker 1: was because I just didn't want to show my legs
Speaker 1: because I didn't like my legs, right, But now sometimes
Speaker 1: it's like, man, should I wear this? What are yes? Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll say it. I'll be vulnerable. It is the what
Speaker 1: are people going to say? I told Jason, I said,
Speaker 1: I just don't want to look like I'm trying too hard.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? You ever see somebody on
Speaker 1: the red carpet and you be like, what now you
Speaker 1: know that? Ain't you? What are you doing? But I
Speaker 1: don't know. Jason has something about him where I will
Speaker 1: allow him to push me because I feel like he won't.
Speaker 1: His intentions are different as it relates to me, and
Speaker 1: he he knows what I do. So yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: I just shared something with y'all, So please let's keep
Speaker 1: this safe. You have any words of encouragement that you
Speaker 1: want to send my way? Please do? I already know
Speaker 1: a couple of y'all will, because weekly, you guys always
Speaker 1: send me words of encouragement and I actually look forward
Speaker 1: to some of the dms that I get from my babies.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we do a fitting. We try out a
Speaker 1: variety of things. Some outfits are more comfortable, and there
Speaker 1: were three outfits and the one blue outfit. But I
Speaker 1: didn't know if we were supposed to wear a lot
Speaker 1: of color on the red carpet because the Renaissance tour,
Speaker 1: especially the last wed in September when she asked everybody
Speaker 1: to wear silver. You know, that was her birthday month,
Speaker 1: and so I didn't know, you know, should we stick
Speaker 1: in the silver category? Should we were black. You know,
Speaker 1: black is always amazing. It's timeless, it's classic, it's chic.
Speaker 1: You know. I love black, you know. And the dress
Speaker 1: that we ultimately went with, I told Jason, I said, Jason,
Speaker 1: I did a I did tool already. Tool is a
Speaker 1: is a form of fabric. I believe it's spelled t
Speaker 1: U l l E. I said Jason. I already wore
Speaker 1: a black tool number at Miss Tina's gala a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago. I don't and it was black. I
Speaker 1: just don't think I should do that again. But what
Speaker 1: people don't know we chose that dress too because Beyonce
Speaker 1: and Kelly, they both have worn those structured shoulders. And
Speaker 1: Beyonce wore I think almost two years in a row
Speaker 1: to a Rock Nation brunching. So we have a little
Speaker 1: inside joke about about that. And so I told her yesterday.
Speaker 1: I told her why award and I thought that was
Speaker 1: pretty cool. So it was basically tribute to her. Okay,
Speaker 1: So that was that was a lot of fun. But y'all,
Speaker 1: the tool was a lot. I was the back of
Speaker 1: my shoe was getting caught in the fabric. I could
Speaker 1: walk like maybe three steps, and then Jason would have
Speaker 1: to come and untangle me, and sitting down in the
Speaker 1: movie theater, I had to pick an aisle seat. I
Speaker 1: had to sit on the end because I felt like,
Speaker 1: I said, if I get up and have to go
Speaker 1: to the bathroom, I'm right on the end and I
Speaker 1: don't have to try to crawl through a lot of people.
Speaker 1: Tyler Perry was sitting a few seats down from me,
Speaker 1: and he had to get up and use the bathroom,
Speaker 1: and so before the movie started he literally said, Okay,
Speaker 1: we got to come up with an exit plan. So
Speaker 1: I was trying to figure out how it was, how
Speaker 1: I would angle my body into seat, so when he
Speaker 1: would have to get up to go to the bathroom,
Speaker 1: he could, you know, we could try to figure it out,
Speaker 1: you know. Then a couple of people other people had
Speaker 1: to get up. I was like, Lord Jesus. So I
Speaker 1: was like, well, sitting on the end a good idea.
Speaker 1: It was good technically for the dress, but I don't
Speaker 1: know if I thought about it as far as because
Speaker 1: other people having to get in and out, But it
Speaker 1: seemingly was a moment. And I wear things because I
Speaker 1: like it. I personally have never put on an outfit
Speaker 1: with the mindset. Oh, this is gonna eat the girls up. Oh,
Speaker 1: this is gonna slay honey. Ooh four plus four, it's eight.
Speaker 1: I'm eat. I'm going to eat. No, no, no no.
Speaker 1: And that's the real truth. This is not false humility.
Speaker 1: It's our some stuff I wear. You know that it's
Speaker 1: pretty or I feel like it accentuates things, probably that
Speaker 1: I want shared or to show. But apparently it was
Speaker 1: a moment, and so I literally posted it before I
Speaker 1: walked in the premiere, and we could not have our phones,
Speaker 1: so I couldn't see any comments or anything till probably
Speaker 1: almost four hours later, and I chose not to read them.
Speaker 1: I'm just now kind of reading a few. I chose
Speaker 1: not to read any of the comments only because I
Speaker 1: was scared. I didn't want to see anybody criticizing and
Speaker 1: like taking the air out of the room, so to speak.
Speaker 1: I just and I've been doing that a lot lately.
Speaker 1: It depends on what I'm posting. But sometimes my post
Speaker 1: literally as I said what I said, and I'm walking away,
Speaker 1: So in this moment, Most times when I post, I
Speaker 1: do engage, you know, I'll like something or or i'll
Speaker 1: respond to to something. But in this case, y'all. It's
Speaker 1: hard to kind of peruse through. Let's see sixty seven
Speaker 1: hundred comments, and I'm appreciative of it, but I was like, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you guys have at it. I could feel the love
Speaker 1: and so we'll see. I think the last time I
Speaker 1: wore something like this similar with the legs kind of
Speaker 1: out was the Super Bowl performance with be So that
Speaker 1: was ten years ago, literally ten years ago. So the
Speaker 1: running joke that I have with friends and family is
Speaker 1: it's gonna be another ten years before y'all see my legs.
Speaker 1: So take a screenshot, sketchet, do whatever you gotta do,
Speaker 1: however you want to memorialize this moment because you might
Speaker 1: not see it again. I'm just playing, I'm just playing.
Speaker 1: We had a few good choices. Jason Bowling, my niece
Speaker 1: did my makeup, Carl did hair. The Glam team they
Speaker 1: are LA based. Jason's assistant, her name is Tamika Smith.
Speaker 1: She's amazing. So Jason the photographer and his assistant Meek,
Speaker 1: they are all Dallas based. So it was a joy
Speaker 1: and it was very thoughtful that Jason decided to fly
Speaker 1: to LA for that moment, and we got a couple
Speaker 1: more moments coming up before the year is over, a
Speaker 1: few appearances that I have to make, so I'm really
Speaker 1: excited about working with him some more. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: all right, I know y'all want to know, you know, what,
Speaker 1: can I tell y'all about the movie? Did my thoughts
Speaker 1: about it? But literally every day this week, I'm it's
Speaker 1: just I'm gonna be processing every moment. I've been told
Speaker 1: I'm a slow processor, meaning I can be in discussion
Speaker 1: with someone, I could read something, or i can watch
Speaker 1: something on television and it takes me a while to
Speaker 1: process it. So I told you, guys, be initial what
Speaker 1: I initially processed, which is something consistent that I've said
Speaker 1: maybe a couple of years in a row. Now I've
Speaker 1: heard her say I can't recall if it was the
Speaker 1: Coachella when we were in rehearsals. I can't recall. And
Speaker 1: of course you're always going to have someone at you
Speaker 1: could be getting your hair done, you could, or you're
Speaker 1: doing something creative and you tell somebody I want this,
Speaker 1: and some people's response is well, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you can do that because I've never seen it before,
Speaker 1: or that it's very hard to attain. It's very hard
Speaker 1: to get, or this item is on back order, or
Speaker 1: for her, it could be this lighting cue is just
Speaker 1: it's too difficult to do. We would have to go
Speaker 1: back and reprogram the entire show. And if it's something
Speaker 1: she wants, she's she will probably say reprogram the shop.
Speaker 1: And we don't mean that from a diva standpoint, but
Speaker 1: it's kind of like, I know it can be done,
Speaker 1: and I apologize that if it's an inconvenience to you.
Speaker 1: So it's almost you could be sitting in that hair salon,
Speaker 1: you know, to get your hair done, and you decide,
Speaker 1: maybe at the last minute, that you want a couple
Speaker 1: of highlights. Well you know, I fine, highlights. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: have to mix the bleach. It's gonna be a little
Speaker 1: extra time. I'm like, well you get bad, ain't you
Speaker 1: get a little more body? I'm sorry, it's a little inconvenience.
Speaker 1: Now it depends this might that might be apples and oranges,
Speaker 1: because I don't know. But people will always try to
Speaker 1: tell you why something can't be done. Very seldom do
Speaker 1: you run into people that say, Okay, this is a
Speaker 1: last minute request, but let me figure out how this
Speaker 1: can be done. At this point, when you've been working
Speaker 1: with somebody long enough, you already know they're gonna come
Speaker 1: with changes, they're gonna or they might like something last
Speaker 1: week and then this week they're like, no, I'm not
Speaker 1: feeling that. It just doesn't resonate with the story that
Speaker 1: I'm trying to tell. And as creatives, you have to
Speaker 1: know that that's okay. You have to know that it
Speaker 1: is okay to change your mind. Even if you're not
Speaker 1: in the creative field, the field of entertainment, it's okay
Speaker 1: to change your mind, you know. So, I really really
Speaker 1: really like that being shown in this film as well.
Speaker 1: It had been a couple of years in the process.
Speaker 1: I won't give you an exact number of years because
Speaker 1: she says it in the movie, but she's been working
Speaker 1: on this show for a while, and you'll see a
Speaker 1: lot of amazing, amazing moments. I don't want to give
Speaker 1: too much away, but I believe when you see it
Speaker 1: will all make sense. If it does not convict you
Speaker 1: or inspire you, you might want to check your pulse.
Speaker 1: The reason why I say that, as I stayedd yesterday,
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are exhausted and you're tired.
Speaker 1: You're like I'm doing everything. You know, when I come
Speaker 1: home from work, I got to take care of my family.
Speaker 1: You know, when I leave this house, I got to
Speaker 1: put on my executive had, I got to put on
Speaker 1: the boss hat. I've got to put on the student hat.
Speaker 1: And you're literally not alone. So I hope that when
Speaker 1: you see what other people are doing, that it inspires
Speaker 1: you to resurrect some dreams that you have probably put
Speaker 1: to the side. I saw someone tell me yesterday, well,
Speaker 1: of course, whatever she dreams, she can make it happen.
Speaker 1: That's what you do when you're rich. And I understand
Speaker 1: when you're just when you are discouraged and you feel
Speaker 1: like nothing is going your way, that's your default answer. Well,
Speaker 1: when you got money, you can, you can make stuff happen.
Speaker 1: Destiny's child didn't always have money, Beyonce, that you'll see
Speaker 1: in the movie, and she states it over and over,
Speaker 1: Miss Tina. They had to make stuff by hand because
Speaker 1: fashion houses wouldn't style a group of four girls, a
Speaker 1: group of four black girls. Heck, when I got in
Speaker 1: the group and when it became three, you know, it
Speaker 1: was it was getting tough for fashion houses to style
Speaker 1: three people. So what I'm trying to say is when
Speaker 1: you watch the growth trajectory of somebody, you got to
Speaker 1: know they didn't always have the money, meaning they didn't
Speaker 1: always have a budget. She's where she is because of
Speaker 1: knowing how to work with what you got. So I
Speaker 1: would kind of refrain from using letting that be a default. Well,
Speaker 1: of course you'll be able to do something you can
Speaker 1: afford to do it. Well, everybody couldn't know. The reason
Speaker 1: why someone is able to afford to do something now
Speaker 1: is because they learned to work with nothing prior. So
Speaker 1: your hard work, your determination, your consistency, literally keeping your
Speaker 1: head down, not worrying about what the naysayers are going
Speaker 1: to say. I believe that that continues to keep people
Speaker 1: further along and excelling. So I said what I said,
Speaker 1: and I'm want to stick to it. There are many
Speaker 1: people who have made it. I tell you all the
Speaker 1: story about when we went to the Dominican Republic and
Speaker 1: one of the kids who one of the adults, who
Speaker 1: is a former Compassion sponsored child, grew up in poverty,
Speaker 1: no running water, no bed, no food, but ended up
Speaker 1: being the top neural surgeon, one of the top neural
Speaker 1: surgeons in the Dominican Republic. So we can't always use
Speaker 1: that excuse well I didn't have, Well, so and so
Speaker 1: is only where they are today because they got money.
Speaker 1: A lot of people literally start from zero, start from nothing.
Speaker 1: But again, I looked at that comment with compassion and
Speaker 1: empathy because I'm like, this is probably someone who is discouraged,
Speaker 1: who feels like maybe things that they put their hand
Speaker 1: to fail. I hope to God you're just not a
Speaker 1: bitter person and you just versus man, I wonder if
Speaker 1: this person is just discouraged. So I pray for that person.
Speaker 1: It's like, man, you know, I hope they whatever it
Speaker 1: is that they've been wanting to do, that they are
Speaker 1: able to do it. And so I definitely definitely felt inspired.
Speaker 1: There's one other word that I have that I'll discuss
Speaker 1: probably on the next episode. I'm trying to process it.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out if it's something that I
Speaker 1: want to share because it's something personal. So I just
Speaker 1: I just wonder if y'all know me. I'll eventually share it.
Speaker 1: But the movie, it's tons of fun. You will find
Speaker 1: yourself clapping at certain segues. Me and Miss Tina were
Speaker 1: sitting next to each other at the premiere she's like,
Speaker 1: why am I clapping like I'm at the actual concert,
Speaker 1: because it will make you clap. You're gonna be viobe
Speaker 1: on your head, y'all. Will hear her do things vocally
Speaker 1: that probably got drowned out at the actual concert. Now,
Speaker 1: if you have a musician's ear, a singer's ear, of
Speaker 1: any type of musical ear you can, and you were
Speaker 1: trying to hone in on what she was doing vocally
Speaker 1: on stage at the actual concert like I was doing,
Speaker 1: because I'd be like, she's killing it, right, But y'ah,
Speaker 1: you'll get to really hear some of the vocal stuff
Speaker 1: that this girl was doing that probably went missed because
Speaker 1: of all the other elements going on. Everybody's screaming the lights,
Speaker 1: so your focus could have got somewhere else. But bababe,
Speaker 1: y'all better listen for them riffs, the technique mmm mmm
Speaker 1: mmmm Okay, all right, that's that's all I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1: That's so, yes, please do, please do, And if for
Speaker 1: nothing else, if you want to go see it, if
Speaker 1: you feel like you've been a you've been in a
Speaker 1: creative slump, maybe you've had writer's block, you're just discouraged,
Speaker 1: go see it. Go see it. You'll also love seeing
Speaker 1: her as a mother, a friend, a wife. You'll love
Speaker 1: seeing it all right. So, yes, had fun. I had
Speaker 1: a blast this past week, like I said, Thanksgiving, flying
Speaker 1: to La and I could not wait to come and
Speaker 1: tell y'all all about it. Okay. So I'm thinking by
