Speaker 12: This was a choice, Steve. That was the greatest thing

61
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 12: you've ever done. The thing was I thought, in my

62
00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 12: mind you brought up there is a I wanted this

63
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:01,880

Speaker 5: This was way better. Oh my god.

65
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 3: The length of the song a couple of times.

66
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: Can you imagine in your mind that he had to

67
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,679
Speaker 1: study all the lyrics because you ain't I know that joint.

68
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: Did you reported that where you did it?

69
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 3: Yeah?

70
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: Nah, Man, that that was touching Steve that that kind of.

71
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd like to communicate in song.

72
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: Hey, but we were saying we received received, we receive it.

73
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 4: Brittany reminded me of some honorable mentions that you had

74
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 4: asked a question about, and I just wanted to mention

75
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 4: these real quick because I feel like they might touch

76
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 4: your soul on the answer to the real question of

77
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 4: the hardest booking I have it because you've never heard

78
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 4: the episode, which is Dave Chappelle, because we're still waiting

79
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 4: for him to sign that paperwork. It caused a rift

80
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 4: between he and I. Unbeknownst to him, he didn't give

81
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 4: for three years.

82
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: The riff is still going on.

83
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 5: Oh why I thought y'all made but y'all.

84
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: Made up cordial. I mean. The thing is is that

85
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: this is also the quasi elephant in the room, Like, yes,

86
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: there's the risk that if you're doing business with your

87
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: loved ones or your friends that the script will get lost.

88
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: Miscommunication happens whatever. Like in the case of Dave, I

89
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: don't know why he wanted to pull the episode.

90
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 4: Because he got beer drunk and he thought they thought

91
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 4: that he didn't sound coherent because it was.

92
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 11: It was dope, It was dope. He was just in

93
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 11: there chopping it up.

94
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 5: Shout out to Corey Blacksmith, fucking it up. I don't care.

95
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:39,799
Speaker 6: And then also did they get to hear it?

96
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, no, no, they're good. This is just

97
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 5: a historical we have to detail that you you won't

98
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 5: hear this episode to that part.

99
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 4: And then also another uncomfortable guest situation must be brought

100
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 4: up because of mirror. I know you with me on

101
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 4: this one who Snoop's house? Where say it was it

102
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 4: Bill or Steve was living a different life than me

103
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 4: and a mirror on the other side of the table.

104
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 5: Do you remember that? The Oh okay, then it was

105
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 5: Steve and.

106
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 4: Fante living a different life on one side and you

107
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 4: and I were living us.

108
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 10: Totally, because I think that was like his guy kept

109
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 10: trying to wrap it up.

110
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: All I remember was I couldn't get into the Snoop

111
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: episode because we I guess they're just under the impression

112
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: that it was going to be like a quickie, yeah,

113
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: twenty minute thing, and didn't know the depths that we

114
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: went into it, and Fante just kept shooting from the

115
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: half court and all the way over the other side.

116
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 7: Remember that time you did that record with this person.

117
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: That was cool.

118
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 10: Yeah, and he kept going like as long as Snoop

119
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 10: was having a good time, I was like, if he

120
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 10: having a good time, shit, I'm gonna keep going.

121
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: Would ask a question, and then Snoop brought like gave

122
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: us another like three minutes, but he just kept asking

123
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: I guess, lion, and I just kept trying.

124
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 4: To but his boy kept getting closer to me and

125
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 4: a mirror like I know, y'all see me standing here, like.

126
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 5: Wrap this shit up, and I had to and he

127
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 5: had to bring me.

128
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 4: I had old school radio flashbacks because I had to

129
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 4: go outside and talk to that brother and be like yo, while.

130
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 5: The interview, it's as like you on us and I

131
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 5: can I'm supposed to be doing this and you right here.

132
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 4: I wish, But Snoops House is really fun though, and

133
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 4: we played a lot like kids. No.

134
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: That was awesome. That was an awesome show. Yeah, it was fun,

135
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: Like I wish we could have deep dove, but it

136
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: was such a panic to keep him engaged, you know.

137
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: And so all right, so there are some questions that

138
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: our audience asked for us. The number one is, how

139
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: have we individually evolved since QLs launched in twenty sixteen.

140
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: How have we how have we evolved in the last

141
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: almost ten years.

142
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 3: Like professionally or personally?

143
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 4: Well, because they now, so that's a beautiful evolution too.

144
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I guess and I can tie this

145
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: into well one while we're doing this episode, which was

146
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: I think back in twenty fifteen, you know, I took

147
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: great pride in just working, work and work and work

148
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: and working, doing a whole bunch of shit, doing the podcast,

149
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: doing falling, DJing, and that's when I was doing like

150
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Bowl Heavy and you know, I would do about

151
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: maybe sixteen DJ gigs a month. I mean, roots were

152
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: still doing shows, and you know, it was kind of

153
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the end of me scoring stuff.

154
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: I was scoring movies. I thought that was going to

155
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: be my entry into the world of you know, movies

156
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: or whatever. And actually Summer Soul kind of first entered

157
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: maybe in twenty seventeen, like a year later, but I

158
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: never thought I would get tired or just like, maybe

159
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: I'm doing too much, don't he do it? And it's yeah,

160
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: And sometimes it's also like it costs and relationships, like

161
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: you have two full grown sons, you got kids and

162
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: different spouses than you did when you first started this

163
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: jouring or what. I don't know. I think maybe in

164
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: the last four or five years, that's where I was

165
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: where I was just like I was living my dreams,

166
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: but like coming home to the worst silence ever, like

167
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: nothing pains me, Alexand quest's what.

168
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 5: The lyric was, thank.

169
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 7: You and you've learned to accept your flowers. I feel

170
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 7: like that's the thing you've learned over these years we've

171
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 7: been doing this. That's that you know how to accept

172
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 7: the compliment now like you never have before.

173
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 5: You know, and it's given to you.

174
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: Yes, But also I will on the professional front, I

175
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: listened to four early episodes all last week, and I

176
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: have to say that I think all of us have

177
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 1: done a remarkable job in our interviewing skills. And I

178
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: don't know, like what we're doing now will still apply

179
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: to where we are in our lives, but I would

180
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: like to actually say that, yeah, I mean there were

181
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 1: some episodes that were chaotic. Of course, you know Fante's

182
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: I roll in at the small episode, Yo, classic, that

183
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: ship was crazy.

184
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 3: We had fun.

185
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: It's not his favorite episode.

186
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 11: It was I mean, it was fine, you know, it

187
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 11: was cool.

188
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: They were cool.

189
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 5: But yeah, yes, he was so funny. I don't know

190
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 5: what to do with him.

191
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: Sorry, it was a special episode. I enjoyed it because

192
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: it was just, you know, just hearing them scream on

193
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: top of each other. But yes, it was chaotic funny.

194
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 1: But I will say that in terms of interviewing and

195
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: getting to know people and that sort of thing, that's

196
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: what I felt that this this platform had given me.

197
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 1: And also you know the fact that choosing you guys.

198
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 5: Shout out to Sean G. Because you can't be saying

199
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 5: you chose me because called me Yo.

200
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: I just showed up. But who said it to Sea G.

201
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 11: I don't know.

202
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 5: I thought it was Sean G.

203
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm a person too. What you thought you was? Just

204
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: like you arrived at the doors, stoped with it in

205
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: a basket given to me by the fire department.

206
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 5: Like an assignment, like so take this good luck.

207
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: No, but Shawing heard the pilot. He was just like, Okay,

208
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of inside talk here. You guys don't

209
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: explain you're talking over each other. You need someone experienced

210
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: and you know, hide to stopterone. You need a lady,

211
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: a woman in here to put you guys in line.

212
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: And of course you know.

213
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 5: The third person. I thought it was like.

214
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 4: Two years before you started this podcast when I had

215
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 4: first heard Q Tips podcast on Apple.

216
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 5: And I was like, yo, we should do something like this.

217
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 5: And do you know this fool said to me.

218
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 4: You know I'm working on something, and it took know you.

219
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: You already know that y'all taught me this. That there's

220
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: Ronald McDonald and then there's Ray kroc u Less. Yes, indeed, we.

221
00:12:59,120 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 5: Have talked about him.

222
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: You know that I am Ronald McDonald no matter how

223
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: you cut it. I know that in your eye rolling already.

224
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: You know you always go to the very crock first

225
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: instead of ron McDonald. When I want jay Z to

226
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 1: do something, I don't go to jay Z to ask

227
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: him to do I know who to ask to get

228
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: him to be like, hey, you know what I mean.

229
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: That's just the name of the game.

230
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 4: And by the way, that's shan Gee episode also one

231
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 4: of our sleepers, like, yes, very good episode.

232
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 3: James Boyser episode.

233
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was great. So yeah, I will say that

234
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: what I learned, especially like last year, and you know,

235
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: the total transparency. We had a real talk last night

236
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: at dinner as a family, as as friends without microphones

237
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: and whatever, and basically I felt like, especially with last year,

238
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: there was a commonality where, you know, I had nine

239
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: businesses open with nine imagine what it takes to run

240
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: this and know that there's eight other this world, like

241
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: when I do my bookshit, there's eight of this in

242
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: the food, shit, this shit, root stuff, movie stuff like.

243
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: And I realized probably last year that yes, even though

244
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: the businesses are up and running and thriving, but I'm

245
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: also failing in the personal relationship one on one thing,

246
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: which a lot of that is also just the reluctant leadership,

247
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: which I had to work on a lot of it

248
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: is also just not knowing how to communicate, which is

249
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: like called for another therapist. I got two therapists. Oh no, brow,

250
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: I had to get two therapists just.

251
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 5: To are any of your therapists of color?

252
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah, Jaska. And so it's pretty much like

253
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: I had to learn, especially for this platform. My decision

254
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: thought decision was also the thought decision to kind of

255
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: bring this to a closer land the plane was basically

256
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: like what were my bottom like, what's my priority? Set

257
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: you on fire? Like for me, the roots will always

258
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: be my number one thing. Movies I have a passion

259
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: for doing that. Book writing is not so on fire.

260
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: I'd rather be the book company and people write there's

261
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: shit just going down the list. But this, as far

262
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: as this is concerned, even though I love nerding out

263
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: on meeting people whatever, I just wasn't able to really

264
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: give this the commitment that I felt it would deserve.

265
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: And I felt like it was also putting a strain

266
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: on us personally as people, and I love our camaraderie

267
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: on and off the air. So that's my version of

268
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: like landing the plane, at least as far as this

269
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: episode's concerned. So I had a lot of learning to do,

270
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: like last year, as people are concerned, Yeah, I think

271
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: we all did.

272
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 10: I think back to the personal the evolution question that

273
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 10: I think one of the viewers asked, I think for me,

274
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 10: this definitely everything you said one hundred percent. You know,

275
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 10: we kind of watched from the sidelines. I guess there's

276
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 10: like one of your homeboys becomes you know, famous.

277
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 11: You know what I mean.

278
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 10: And so for me, I just always kind of gave

279
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 10: that grace of just understand. It's like, listen, this has

280
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 10: got to be a total mindfucking I've said this. You know,

281
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 10: it's got to be a mindfucker to go from drumming

282
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 10: on South Street to now you got Obama in your phone,

283
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 10: you know what I mean. And that's and to go

284
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 10: through that kind of trajectory, and you know the amount

285
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 10: of time that that happened, you know, I knew that

286
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 10: was a lot. And so for me, because I do

287
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 10: know some people that ask, like why you know I

288
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 10: left the show, I only left. The first time I left,

289
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 10: it was because I was have a cigarettes.

290
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 11: I was not.

291
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: I'm not out for fucking cigarettes.

292
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 10: I was on tour with my group Little Brother, because

293
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 10: we just came back. When I first known one album

294
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 10: they a little Watch it number one, and I couldn't,

295
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 10: you know, I couldn't. I couldn't do both. It was

296
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 10: just you know, two times, you.

297
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 1: Knew where I'm discovering now that you can't do both.

298
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 10: Yeah, you get something's gotta give, yeah, you know, because

299
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 10: it's gonna eventually that neglect is gonna show up.

300
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: In your product, you know what I mean.

301
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 10: And so you know, man, so yeah, that was the

302
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 10: first time, and then this last time, I think it

303
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 10: was just kind of what you were saying.

304
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 11: It just kind of definitely felt.

305
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: Like the show.

306
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 10: I just saw like kind of where your career is

307
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 10: going to what you're involved in. It was just like, yeah,

308
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 10: I think it's time. You know, for me, it was time.

00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 10: And and then you know, at the end of the year,

317
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 10: I lost my best friend, Big Milk.

318
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 11: He died in September.

319
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 10: So you know, even if I had a stayed on,

320
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 10: you know, it was still I didn't have room for it.

321
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 10: I just didn't have like this because I had life

322
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 10: shit that you know was happening. And you know, it

323
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 10: was this thing where I think we did a good job,

324
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 10: where I think we're all at now is that understanding.

325
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 11: It's like, listen, man, everything ends.

326
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 10: You just hope that in the best case scenario, you

327
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 10: can sit and talk about it and it doesn't have

328
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 10: to end in chaos. And I think that is the

329
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 10: biggest part for me in terms of watching you know

330
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,719
Speaker 10: how I've seen certain entities end over my life as

331
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 10: anyone has seen the LB DOT you know, it was lived.

332
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 3: It.

333
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 10: I like that we're all at a place where we

334
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 10: can all decide like, hey, this is where it ends.

335
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 10: We've told our story and our relationships are no less

336
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 10: you know, no less, not any less stronger or any

337
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 10: you know, any more love, loss or whatever.

338
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 11: And that's what I'm most proud of.

339
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 10: And you know, this has been an amazing journey man,

340
00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 10: like over nine years, like you know, I mean you

341
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 10: was joking earlier, but it's them being divorces, it's being

342
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 10: kids born, it's being like it's you know, real shit

343
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 10: that happened, and uh, you know, outside of just the

344
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 10: work that we do here, like y'all are all like

345
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 10: my friends, Like I love y'all man like straight like that,

346
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 10: you know what I mean, and so too, Yeah, thank

347
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 10: you for all of you know, and and this is

348
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 10: whatever you know a lot of times me and like

349
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 10: you talked about last night, when you're doing times with friends,

350
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 10: doing work with friends, you have to kind of stop

351
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 10: sometimes and differentiate. It's like, Okay, I know there's not

352
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 10: a malicious bone in this person's body.

353
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 11: I know it's not malicious. So they're not.

354
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: Being a shitty friend.

355
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 10: They are just trying to navigate this business, and I

356
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 10: have to give them that grace to say, Okay, bro,

357
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 10: you know what I'm saying.

358
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 4: It's not their fault it sometimes the business is shitty,

359
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 4: but they're still a good friend.

360
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

361
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 11: Yeah, right, It's it's like, yeah, it's cool and you know,

362
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 11: but yeah, took.

363
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 5: Me a minute.

364
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 11: Yeah, okay, that took me a minute.

365
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 4: See, my whole life has been a little different, like

366
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 4: doing radio and Philadelphia and going being an advocate for

367
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 4: you guys on my own. Now you never, nobody ever

368
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,239
Speaker 4: forced me to be an advocate for the Root, but

369
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 4: it was just what I felt in my heart, and

370
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 4: then the music and going into Shawn Gee's office at

371
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 4: some point and being like I want to work with y'all.

372
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 5: I have to.

373
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 4: I want to do something because it's just something more here,

374
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 4: which that was like that might have been fifteen years

375
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,719
Speaker 4: ago and fast forward to this being like the first

376
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 4: time working with you guys.

377
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 5: It's been an interesting journey and separate.

378
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 4: Like Fante said, like, I'm just getting to the point

379
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 4: now where i can separate the friendship from the business

380
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 4: because it's been.

381
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 5: About a rocky road.

382
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 4: I think probably out of everybody sitting here, I've probably

383
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 4: had a little bit of a more rockiest road.

384
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: You know, because you have the longest history, like you would,

385
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: you know.

386
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 4: The longest history. This is my profession. Nobody else makes

387
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 4: money off of doing this but me. So I came

388
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 4: in here also like hoping to, you know, get their

389
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 4: respect in that way because I'm the person that has

390
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 4: been doing broadcasting for all of their career and had

391
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 4: to felt like I had to earn it in these

392
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 4: eight years again, like I have really had to earn

393
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 4: it and make my way and make my voice be

394
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 4: heard and doubled and get in when you hit fit

395
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 4: in and not talk. All the stuff that I've learned

396
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 4: a long time ago. Now I'm experienced it with co

397
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 4: hosts who've never been taught it. So between that and

398
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 4: you know, just again separating the business from the friendship.

399
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 4: Last night, was a real moment in that conversation Fonte

400
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 4: where I really went like, you know, a mirror.

401
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 5: He came through from me, and I.

402
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 4: Didn't really see it because it was all this other

403
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 4: stuff going on with other people. But when I needed him,

404
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 4: he came through for me. When he first felt like

405
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 4: this wasn't for him anymore, he called me that day like,

406
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 4: I remember you called me when I was at Jeff's

407
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 4: house and he was like, I'm and so for that,

408
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna get emotional, but like, oh.

409
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 5: This is the progress that I have made.

410
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 4: I have to make for me, and no more other

411
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 4: people saying like, yeah, you're the shit you deserve to

412
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 4: be here.

413
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 5: I don't see that anymore.

414
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: Now. It's like, let me like that. I one hundred

415
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: appreciate you and love you for I know. I don't

416
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: want to just be a kryy jowing. She got the

417
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: cry out. Good, just let her cry. It's fine.

418
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 11: It's important.

419
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: You said something when we when we talked that day,

420
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: when I was like, look, I don't know if I

421
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: want to continue to do this, and you gave an

422
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: analogy where it was like, you're right. I didn't think

423
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: of it as you know, we've been running this business

424
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: as a corner store. We talked about it, right, We've

425
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: always had a corner store community kind of you a

426
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: corporation now, my boy, right, and we're basically Amazon now.

427
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: And unfortunately it's like seven people running all of Amazon,

428
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: and some shit's been very shitty, and you know, it's

429
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 1: it pains me when my friends are paid because like

430
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,959
Speaker 1: all last year is where I'm just like, all right,

431
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,959
Speaker 1: take it a mirror, like you know, most people in

432
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: my position will get defensive, petty and all it.

433
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 5: And we're born on the same day, like.

434
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: Right, and so I'm not saying it lightly. Like this

435
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: is probably the most important lesson that I've learned in life,

436
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: and I appreciate you for bringing that to me. Fonte Layah, Bill,

437
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: Damn Bill, I'm just realizing now I didn't even ask you,

438
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: like what you learned? Bill, I'm good.

439
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,479
Speaker 7: No, I actually feel like I've noticed this being here

440
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 7: at all, and I think I learned the most period.

441
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: I was about to say, you're the person that's always

442
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: said like you've learned the most from this show. Well,

443
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: I thank you for joining the Fray, because you know,

444
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: back then you were a guest but not to digress,

445
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: let me pull it back. Yes, la Yah, I absolutely

446
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: twelve thousand appreciate the work that you've done. You teach

447
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 1: me everything from communication how to treat you as a person.

448
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:08,479
Speaker 1: We definitely had our rifts and our TIFs, and that

449
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: hurt my feelings when you said that I didn't realize

450
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: something out of line, and yeah, there's a lot on

451
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: the editing floor, thank god, and I appreciate that.

452
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 10: I ask, how do you know when it's over? You

453
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 10: know what I'm saying, Like we talked about a little

454
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 10: bit last night. How do you know when it's time

455
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 10: to end the thing?

456
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: You know? It's just I think in twenty twenty four

457
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: is when okay, So what I realized about me was

458
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: working was my numb thing. That was my avoidance, avoidance,

459
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: And you only truly feel shit when you get to

460
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: sit alone in silence and really you know understand it.

461
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 1: So you know, kind of when the first business entity

462
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: before this okay came to light was having issues, I

463
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: was on my defensive, joining, well, they don't know if

464
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: they talking about whatever, and you know, I'm doing nineteen

465
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: things a day and never never, whatever. And then when

466
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: it all all to twenty twenty four was just aspiral

467
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: after spiral after spiral to spiral to spiral, and so

468
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: you know, both coaches therapists were basically like, sit with that,

469
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: and how did it feel when the person told you

470
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 1: like you were being unconsidered about da da da da da,

471
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: or that you're not a good listener or you're not

472
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: a good communicator or that sort of thing, and you know,

473
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 1: and I had to sit with it, and I don't know.

474
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 1: I think what I did in twenty twenty four was

475
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 1: pretty much I started to I did less numbing things

476
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: and found my humanity or learn how to feel. And

477
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 1: that's when And I joked yesterday.

478
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 11: Like real boy, I'm a real boy.

479
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: But that's the truth. And I joke yesterday at dinner

480
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: and I was like, yo, the thing that scares me

481
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: the most was like, I didn't know how much I

482
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: like sleeping.

483
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 5: It's so good. I don't know which one is better,

484
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 5: sleeping or eating.

485
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 4: But if you're sleeping, you don't have to eating again anyway,

486
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 4: I think it's sleeping.

487
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: I'd rather sleep, which you know, and I feel like

488
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: even that's a part of the process of not being

489
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: hyper aware of like, oh, I should be learning ten

490
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: songs right now for the for the next DJ gig,

491
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: I do seven months from now, or let me play

492
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: on the roots picnic da let me And I was

493
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 1: that eight month ahead, two year ahead person instead of

494
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: being present. And I hate the fact. I hate the

495
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: fact that, like twenty sixteen, the administration that we're dealing

496
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: with now, especially right now, Yeah, has literally taught me

497
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: how to live in the present. Like unfortunately, I said,

498
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: like I want to learn how to live in the present.

499
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: So it's almost like me putting out to the universe. Hey, okay,

500
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: that's exactly what happened.

501
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 5: So now that's all we can do.

502
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 1: We're literally now like twenty four hours a day. I

503
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: have to go through the same affirmation process this morning,

504
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: got up at eight o'clock in the morning, had to

505
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: do literally living and pressing every day. So I mean

506
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: that's yeah.

507
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 10: Man, And it's and it's you know, and this, and

508
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 10: I mean I hope people like when they listen to this,

509
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 10: I hope they take away you know, I'm so thankful

510
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 10: that we had a chance to bring this to the

511
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 10: world and like bring joy to so many people. And

512
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 10: you know, they enjoyed the show and everything. But we

513
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 10: are literally figuring this shit out on the fly, you

514
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 10: know what I mean, Like even with you know, you

515
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 10: said like it like you had the radio experience, but

516
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 10: coming into this, it's like it's a totally different thing.

517
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 10: I mean a lot of it does apply, but it's

518
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 10: still just a different landscape and not even.

519
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 5: Used to people wanting to hear you talk for more

520
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 5: than two minutes, right.

521
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 10: Right, yeah, because radio is you know, so yeah, and

522
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 10: so it's a big difference. And you know, I think,

523
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 10: you know, and listening to your story, you know, I

524
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 10: kind of saw a lot of things just kind of

525
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,959
Speaker 10: from the back, you know, just watching how you navigate

526
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 10: and you know, navigating just doing directing and falling and

527
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 10: all of this. And I think it was one of

528
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 10: the biggest lessons I learned was just kind of seeing

529
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 10: the difference between management versus leadership.

530
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 1: And when you talk about leadership.

531
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 10: Management is just kind of just kind of cattle call

532
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 10: you just kind of just you know, a task master.

533
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 10: But leadership speaks more to people's personal development, and that's

534
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 10: where the personal relationships come in. Like if I know

535
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 10: that Bill likes this, or I think I was like,

536
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 10: hey man, I think you'll be good in this role.

537
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 11: Let me get you over here and speak to that.

538
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 10: But you really have to have those conversations with your

539
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 10: people in order to know that. And you know, that

540
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 10: was one of the biggest things I saw and just

541
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 10: kind of y'all's I guess, you know if you say

542
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 10: from mom and pop to Amazon, that was one of

543
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 10: the things you kind of you kind of got to

544
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 10: have as a leader. And you talk about being a

545
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 10: reluctant leader. I get it, you know what I'm saying.

546
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 10: It's certainly things that I've struggled with, certainly, things that

547
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 10: I you know, I just want to make music and

548
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 10: just you know, you just want to do the thing,

549
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 10: but there's doing the thing. But then you got to

550
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 10: be the guy, like you said, like Ron McDonald versus

551
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 10: Ray Kroc. It's like, yo, I just want to cook burgers,

552
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 10: dog That's all I love to do. But now I

553
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 10: gotta go be the guy to sell the burgers.

554
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 11: You know what I mean?

555
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 10: And uh yeah, And it just gets to a point

556
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 10: which is like, yeah, I'm tired of that ship.

557
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: I just want to make burgers. Let's let me also,

Speaker 4: the statement witness protection jam and Lewis been super curious

626
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 4: about that since it was said.

627
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: When you say witness protection program, that was the name

628
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: of the me bulou glasper like our yeah boom pitgeess

629
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: like our our fake group name called the witness Protection program.

630
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 3: But is there another question?

631
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 5: What was it?

632
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 4: What was a conversation for everybody just answered us? What

633
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 4: was an interview that we did that was really hard

634
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:10,240
Speaker 4: for you to get through.

635
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 10: Let me see, which I wouldn't say, Frankie Beverley, that

636
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 10: wasn't hard to get through.

637
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 11: It wasn't hard, you know what I mean.

638
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 10: But it definitely that was another thing too that we learned.

639
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 10: You learned patience, you know what I'm saying, because, like

640
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 10: you said, with radio, it's like, just give me the

641
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 10: quick thirty second sound bite. But you know with this one,

642
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 10: you know, you really sitting with the masters and the elders,

643
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 10: you know what I mean, and so you have to

644
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 10: give them space to tell their story.

645
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 11: They may remember some stuff they might not.

646
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: It made.

647
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like, oh wow, it made us all

648
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 4: more conscious in that way we were dealing with elders.

649
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 5: Even when we dealt with Wayne.

650
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:57,720
Speaker 4: Shorter, like I noticed, everybody kind of figured out, okay, right, yeah.

651
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: Let it breathe, Let it breathe. That part I didn't

652
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: know about the game, like the selective memory part or

653
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: the you know, just did.

654
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 3: You forget what you were going to say?

655
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:07,760
Speaker 1: Just exactly.

656
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 3: What about your one on ones? What was the most

657
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 3: difficult one on one for you?

658
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 1: They weren't difficult, actually, you know, I had a lot

659
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: of Fear was my first one.

660
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 3: Willow Falling by Yourself.

661
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, that was the first one.

662
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: See I don't I forgot about the Michelle Obama episode. Yeah,

663
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: that really didn't count. Andre Steve Farrooon was great. I

664
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: just the inside joke of met us never being in

665
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: the same room, because of course, the story is that

666
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: I went to Madison Square Garden to watch him drum

667
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 1: in person finally, and I took a bunch of adult

668
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,439
Speaker 1: fruit shoes and.

669
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 7: Can we can we talk about that night for one second? Yeah,

670
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 7: because I was there and that was one of the

671
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 7: craziest experiences as a musician I've ever seen my life.

672
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 7: We were in your car thing and you were making

673
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 7: charts of John Mayer tunes as we drove to Madison's

674
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 7: Wear Garden and learning the song, learning the songs at

675
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 7: the same time, and then you went on and just

676
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 7: crushed it for what was supposed to be what like

677
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 7: two songs, and he stayed played the whole set.

678
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: I think, well, initially it was like the whole show,

679
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: and I was like, there's no way I can learn

680
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: all this. So he came up with the eleventh hour

681
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: idea of just let me unplug the first nine songs

682
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,280
Speaker 1: and then Amere comes in and play the second half.

683
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,240
Speaker 1: And but the thing was, I took the adult fruit.

684
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 7: Choose I remember way before started the show.

685
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: I know, but I like calling adult fruits. Yes, that

686
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: was when I was a newly micro dooser of mushrooms

687
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:45,879
Speaker 1: and so.

688
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

689
00:36:54,640 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I took them. And then Piano's like and

690
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: I was like, uh so not. I mean, I wasn't

691
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: out of my mind, but I was definitely stimulated. And

692
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 1: I don't know, you and John Mayer come.

693
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 5: Through for each other, because this is a call back

694
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 5: to root.

695
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 4: You know, that's reach Picnic where him and Daved pel

696
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,600

00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 10: Yeah, as you're bandaging emotions, you're holding right, and the

739
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 1: was at the Apollo, and I guess the default band

740
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: was Me di'angelo, James Poyser the rest of the roots,

741
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: I guess. So we did some ship with d it

742
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: came off, we did another song. I forget what it was,

743
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: and then someone yelled like angel Win wants to do Angel.

744
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: These always like the King of I won't say what

745
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 1: would be modern liquor house classics, like things that only

746
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 1: like you know, flirt by cameo or like your uncle

747
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 1: plays in the cassette. No, so he played it with her,

748
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: But I mean it's always the moment where a singer

749
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: is singing, especially without rehearsal. The one thing I'm trying

750
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 1: to control is to keep them from turning back. Mm hmm.

751
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: You never want that. And oh god, she got me

752

00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 5: Okay, that's what's just like we got close with Grace Jones.

765
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 11: I mean she's you know, yeah, she.

766
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 5: Was like, as long if you want ever come to London,

767
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 5: you live in London. In Paris, they were like, if.

Speaker 7: And you're thinking, I don't know.

771
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 5: We didn't do Sesame Street.

772
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: Were we actually supposed to interview the Muppets as themselves?

773
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,479
Speaker 7: That was floated at some point, Yeah, for sure.

774
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: Do you think that would have came off?

Speaker 3: Maybe?

776
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 7: I don't know.

777
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 1: So my experience of doing that show was that when

778
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: they would yell cut, they would still talk in that

779
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: muppet voice for like a long timen't really end ever. Yeah,

780
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: And even when I and even when I talked to them,

781
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: they talking that character voice and I was like, wait

782
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: the cameras to stop all why are you're still talking

783
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:49,720
Speaker 1: to me? Grover?

784
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 7: You had a whole Grover bit that was That was

785
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 7: a good day.

786
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: You know, they showed I went to the Nets game

787
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and they chose that as they're a bit

788
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: you know, like who's sitting in the audience they went

789
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: to that it was a rather a random choice.

790
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 4: But oh wait, I'm sorry. Somebody asks a really good

791
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 4: question for Bill. Can I ask this real quick? It

792
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 4: says Bill on video, you're a really active listener, even

793
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 4: when you weren't asking questions or talking much. Can you

794
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 4: speak about knowing when to jump in as a personality

795
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 4: as opposed to when others drive a discussion?

796
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:27,879
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot.

797
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 7: Basically, I think one of the greatest lessons I've learned

798
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 7: being on the show is when to shut the fuck up.

799
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 7: And I think that that's a very important listen that

800
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 7: anyone should know. And I say that because I feel

801
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 7: like my touchstones of race and culture and life and

802
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 7: everything have sort of moved around a lot since I've

803
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 7: been a part of this, and I think that I've

804
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 7: learned so much just by sitting near you guys and

805
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 7: listening to you talk, and like, you know, I I'd

806
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 7: like to say that growing up as a white kid

807
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 7: on Long Island, you don't really get the sort of

808
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 7: like house of Prayers and all the fucking nonsense and

809
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 7: so and so it's been. I think years from now,

810
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 7: if I look back on this, it will be it's.

811
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 7: First of all, it's one of my favorite things to

812
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 7: talk about. And I have a lot of crazy things

813
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 7: in my life, but this is definitely one of the

814
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 7: top two. And so I think years from now, I'll

815
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 7: look back and just be like, that was the fucking

816
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 7: craziest shit ever, Like just for all those who may

817
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 7: or may not remember. Like Amir Lynn called me and

818
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 7: said the Roots are going to produce the Hamilton.

819
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: Record with you.

820
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 7: I was like, great, that's a thing, Okay. I was terrified.

821
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:42,720
Speaker 7: And then you walked in and then I said Sesame

822
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 7: Street and you said holy shit. And then you called

823
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:46,719

00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 7: am I doing tomorrow? And you said you want to

826
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,399
Speaker 7: be the first guest on my podcast and I said, oh,

827
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 7: clearly someone canceled.

828
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: Cool.

829
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, sure, I'm totally And then my life's been so

830
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,240
Speaker 7: fucking weird ever since that day. And then and then

831
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 7: you remember that it went on for like six hours.

832
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:04,919
Speaker 7: I thought I was gonna be there for like twenty

833
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 7: minutes and then and then, and then he called me

834

Speaker 7: We'll always start shooting in two weeks season fifty six.

892
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 7: So even though there was some shake up amongst the

893
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 7: corporate business, I think they don't have a distribution partner

894
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 7: quite yet, but we are making new episodes in a

895
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 7: couple of weeks. Okay, so you're moving on Faith Faith,

896
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:26,759

897
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 5: Oh my god, about that. I'm sorry.

898
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 4: Okay, Steve, I know you didn't want the direct question,

899
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 4: but I do want to know how to answer it.

900
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 4: Is somebody asked, was The Roots the first hip hop

901
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:37,800
Speaker 4: act you ever worked with as an engineer? The question

902
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 4: is who was the first person that you ever worked

903
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,919
Speaker 4: as an engineer? And can you speak to what made

904
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 4: you and a mirror click? Because this relationship started whatsoever?

905
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 4: And now it is twenty five years later?

906
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 1: Bacon, thirty thirty years later?

907
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 14: Excuse me, Bacon, I'll answer the second part first, would.

908
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:00,080
Speaker 3: I'm probably not going to answer the first part because.

909
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: You don't know your first client.

910
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 14: Was it's irrelevant to what we're talking about, but you know,

911
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 14: it led to a better question. Well, I was randomly

912
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 14: assigned as an assistant engineer to the Voodoo record after

913
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 14: the first two or three assistant engineers.

914
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,439
Speaker 1: To fail out.

915
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 14: And as far as what we bonded over, I think

916
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 14: I've always pointed to the fact that we were both

917
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:31,800
Speaker 14: bringing different things to the table with regards to musical tastes,

918
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 14: but there were there was some crossover, and I always

919
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 14: point to pet Sounds as the crossover thing that we

920
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:41,479
Speaker 14: both kind of obsessed over for a long time, and

921
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 14: and just everything since. You know, I think maybe out

922
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 14: of all of us, because of the length of time

923
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:52,760
Speaker 14: that I've been working with him, have learned the most

924
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 14: with regards to music that I didn't know about it

925
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 14: before I met him. I had some I have the

926
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 14: same experience with black music essentially that Amir had with

927
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 14: white music, which was we heard what was on the radio,

928
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 14: which was kind of the most mediocre stuff, you know

929
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 14: when it comes down to it, So we all we

930
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 14: kind of share that love for I guess kitchen poppy

931
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 14: stuff from the eighties.

932
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 10: As evidenced by your wonderful rendition of is this the end?

933
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,439
Speaker 10: You have to have that as a standalone. I feel

934
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 10: like to release that. So yeah, you have just put

935
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 10: it on soundclouds.

936
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 1: Whatever.

937
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 14: Well, my love for what you keep calling I guess

938
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:33,520

Speaker 4: Michael McDonald's ferguson South Saint Louis. Yes, Michael McDonald was

1013
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:27,640

1015
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 5: Hoody really was greater than I would have thought he

00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 5: would have been.

1017
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 1: So what what I'll say to our listeners is and

1018
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 1: the prime reason and much of the cagrene of the

1019
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:42,479
Speaker 1: publicists that would have their guests or like, our show

1020
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:45,880
Speaker 1: was always a retrospect of a career and a journey

1021
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,279
Speaker 1: less about not just the album, which is why I

1022
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 1: feel as though these episodes will still be timeless because

1023
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 1: its history in the future.

1024
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 5: And I know he was loud, but y'all, Billy Porter

1025
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:58,359
Speaker 5: change life. I don't care.

1026
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 1: He told you.

1027
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 14: Yes, speaking of people listening to these episodes into the future,

1028
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:07,839
Speaker 14: which I assume they're all going to be available, I

1029
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 14: just want to point to our wiki page, which was

1030
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:15,160

1038
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: just say this, so, Steve, I want to thank you

1039
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:43,799
Speaker 1: for really planting the seed that this could be done.

1040
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 1: Because as much as we joked back in two thousand

1041
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 1: and two thousand and one, two thousand and two, listen

1042
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: to studio rats and all your little side projects and whatever.

1043
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 1: It's one thing to talk about it, but you're definitely

1044
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:57,800
Speaker 1: a person who quietly will push me to do something

1045
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:01,799
Speaker 1: that I didn't think was possible. And sometimes you know

1046
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 1: when to push me. A great example in game. We'll

1047
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 1: talk about that later, but still in game. Yes, there's

1048
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 1: still at the end. Yeah, yeah, no, it's it's real

1049
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 1: and the guys leading the charge. Yes, in ways that

1050
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:22,760
Speaker 1: I never imagined.

1051
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:25,239
Speaker 5: Black thought episode one of the greatest of all.

1052
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:29,239
Speaker 1: But I will say, Steve, thank you for being the

1053
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 1: person that pushes me to do things. Fante. You are

1054
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 1: the heart of this show and thank you. I think

1055
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 1: keeping it Real has been so overused that it's almost

1056
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 1: doesn't mean much anymore. But you know, I think everyone

1057
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 1: will universally agree that all the episodes that you're on

1058
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 1: that you provided.

1059
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:52,839
Speaker 4: I'm thinking about all the times when you were look

1060
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:54,799
Speaker 4: at me for gotcha questions and Fante would ask them.

1061
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:03,360
Speaker 1: Episode is one of the great episode.

1062
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:10,640

1139
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 1: QLL as possible these past ten seasons. And if you've

1140
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 1: been rocking with Quest Love Supreme since the beginning, or

1141
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 1: even if you just pulled up yesterday, you know it's

1142
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 1: been a labor of love, and it's been a space

1143
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 1: for music nerds, cultural heads, and curious minds to get

1144
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 1: deep into the stories behind the sound. And over the years,

1145
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 1: ah Man conversations, we've had too many to mention, but

1146
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 1: so legendary.

1147
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:36,840
Speaker 3: You know.

1148
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 1: We've had laughs and tangents and rabbit holes and deep

1149
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 1: dives and all those good things. But you know, here's

1150
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 1: the thing. The greatest grooves always need to evolve. We

1151
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 1: know that, and we are pivoting. So Quest Love Supreme

1152
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 1: has reached its finale, but don't you worry. We're gonna

1153

1155
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 1: but with just a new flavor to it. And I

1156
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:11,919
Speaker 1: want to be clear, this is not entirely goodbye. We're

1157
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: just turning the page and figuring out what the next

1158
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 1: chapter of this podcast is going to be. And uh,

1159
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:21,000
Speaker 1: it'll come soon, and I promise it's gonna be worth

1160
