1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: So if you were a ghost, what would be your

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: style of hunting? Your signature? If I was the ghost,

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: what would be my style of hunting? Probably something sexual,

4
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: pulling dicks. Oh my god, Yes up, I'm gonna pull

5
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: your dick off today. I'm Gosha and the Creepies. We

Speaker 1: just talking about how we were supposed to be spending

10
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: this whole past year making people dance their tits off.

11
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: That's right, for real, for the whole body, Like, for real,

Speaker 1: out onto our honey. Well we still will will. Yes,

14
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: So everybody get the COVID shots so we can get

15
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: back to it. Yeah, so we can go shake our

16
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: asses till we can't anymore. We can go raise some

17
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: hell'll chase some rainbows. Girl, Yes, well you seem well.

18
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: Is that your home? Are you home right now? I

19
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: love New Orleans? I was thinking about it. Oh I

20
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: miss it girl, not me. I'm ready to get from

21
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about moving and I'm like, should I

22
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: move to Austin. I boomed to Nashville, and then I

23
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: was reading up on New Orleans and I was like, funk,

24
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: should I just moved to New Orleans. It's such a

25
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: magical city. It is. It's a crazy place. It's crazy,

26
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: crazy place. It seems I've spent some time there. But

27
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: obviously you were like born and raised in New Orleans, right,

28
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: That's right my whole life. So that's why I'm ready

29
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: to get the hell away from the words right now.

30
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: I want to get back on the road, back to

31
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: the bag and the fans. Me too. I missed that energy, yeah,

32
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: because you know, just like performing virtually is really weird,

33
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: you know. Um, It's like, you know, you don't have

34
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: the audience to screaming Holly, you don't have the people

35
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: to touch and feel, and you know the room is

36
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: not sweating with little drips of water on the wall.

37
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: So it's just a weird feeling, you know, sometimes in

38
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: the virtual space. So I definitely want to to feel

39
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: that energy and love from that stage. You can hear

40
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: it all in the your green room while you're getting ready,

41
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Yes, it's such a it's

42
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: such a weird experience for to try to put into

43
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: words that feeling it is. There's nothing like it. It's

44
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: nothing like it, and like it's so like anxiety and excitement,

45
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: anticipation and you're snatched and you're pulled and you're yanked in. Yes,

46
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: it's definitely a war. But we will you will see

47
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: me in big free to on stage as soon as

48
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: it's safe, just for all of our listeners. I am

49
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: super curious just in reading so much about New Orleans.

50
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: There's so many parts about New Orleans that seemed very

51
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: conducive to being creepy or spooky or supernatural. It feels

52
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: like a very witchy, like a magic, witchy city. Yeah,

53
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: you know, there's lots of talk of voodoo here. Um

54
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: you know, I have a friend who's a boodoo priests

55
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: and um, you know he reads me sometime. But usually

56
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: you know, when I go get a reading, it's about um,

57
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: you know, just life, a life reading and um, you know,

58
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: energies and stuff like that. I don't you know, he

59
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: don't usually be playing with no like witching spells and

60
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: stuff like that, or no hex to kind of you know,

61
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: get nobody or nothing like that. But you know, there

62
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: is here say that there's some voodoo, some the dark

63
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: side of the voodoo going on as well here in

64
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: New Orleans. But I keep it on the light side.

65
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: If I go get a reading, that's good because I

66
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: saw on you like a is it like a reality

67
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: show on the clips on YouTube? You're talking about going

68
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: to your voodoo priests. Yes, that's him and so so

69
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: there is like a dark and a light. So it's

70
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: just like anything like you can pick the light positive side.

71
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: Voodoo is not just a dark kind of it's a

72
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: dark thing always. No. You know, they have people who

73
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: practice the good, you know, kind of good voodoo, and

74
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: they have people, of course who practice the bad voodoo.

75
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: So just like anything in life, you got the good

76
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: and the bad. And I definitely want to stay with

77
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: the good though, you know, especially when it comes to

78
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: some thing like that. I don't want to be having

79
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,239
Speaker 1: spirits and stuff come and talk to me and touch

80
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: me and freak me out. You know. I'll watch a

81
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: lot of movies dealing with you know, um, the weird

82
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: and and and and the are normal, I would say, um,

83
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: but I definitely don't want to have to experience any

84
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: of that, So I definitely keep it on the light side.

85
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: I used to funk with like Luigi boards, and I

86
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: thought it was really fun to try to conjure up spirits.

87
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: And when I'm on tour, I stay at haunted places.

88
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, I had an experience

89
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: with something and I was like, I'm done. That was

90
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: just too much. Well, I just didn't know what I

91
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: was doing, and I realized you have to be careful.

92
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: It's fun, but until some ghost tries to funk with you,

93
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: and then it gets very real. Yeah, I've never had

94
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: too many weird experiences of something, you know of no

95
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: ghostly like friendly things coming at me or on any

96
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: of that. And you know, but dar is talk that

97
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: in New Orleans has a lot of places that's haunted

98
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: buildings and hotels. And you know they're saying right now

99
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: on Canal Street the building that collapse, that they're going

100
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: to have some spirits in there because they still have

101
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: people stuck in the rubble right now. Yeah, the building

102
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: that collapse on Canal Street and they try to like

103
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: blow it up to get the building to fall down.

104
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: The building still would not fall. So that has been

105
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: closed off over a year now. Oh wow, and they're

106
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: trying to blow it up and make it fall to

107
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: build something else. Yes, and there's still people bodies in there.

108
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: Oh my god. That seems like a recipe for some

109
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: supernatural ingredients. I always start the conversations off with do

110
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: you believe in the supernatural? I mean to extend I

111
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: feel there is another power that bese um you know

112
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: I but not to experience it into actual see it.

113
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It's a it's a thing

114
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: where it's just always that thought in the back of

115
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: your mind, you know, is it real? Is it not?

116
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: So you know, I really haven't had any experience too

117
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: to really even think that far of man, you know,

118
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: is this really real or not? But at some point

119
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: in my mind I do think that, um, there is

120
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: an other side, you know what I'm saying, that people

121
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: have to deal with spirits. It just probably depends on

122
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: who it comes to and the people that deals with

123
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: that type of energy and stuff. But that's not my world. Yeah. See,

124
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was my world, but now I

125
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: want it to be my world. I want to just

126
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: know everybody's experience because they feel also ties in to

127
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: your spiritual background too, you know, right, So I mean,

128
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: that's why I was about to go next. So you know,

129
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: I do believe in God, and so I do have

130
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: a spiritual background that comes from being in a church

131
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: and growing up, um, in the gospel choir and stuff

132
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: like that. So there is a higher being that you

133
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: can feel the spirit when when I've been you know,

134
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: going to church all this time since i was a kid.

135
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: So I'm certain that there's an other side like we've

136
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 1: been talking about that also visits people and that they

137
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: believe in it, that their beliefs are strong and and

138
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: going to church. I read that you kind of were

139
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: the one that really wanted to go to church and

140
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: you took your mom to church, and that's I don't

141
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: know if that was like a true story. And I

142
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: did the same thing with my mom too. I did, like,

143
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: you know, I would just try to encourage every out

144
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: in the house to go to church. You know, I

145
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: was the one who was always at church every Sunday,

146
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: acquired rehearsal on Saturdays, you know, at Bible study. So

147
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: I was just trying to make sure that my family

148
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: was saved as well, and then they knew God. And um,

149
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: you know, my my mom she started all bringing us

150
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: to church when we were small, so she actually instilled

151
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: it in me, and I just going and I will

152
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: pull them back, you know, with me every now and then.

153
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: That's it's so funny because I've always been drawn to

154
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: the church, and I just think it's about finding the

155
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: one that suits you. Like I went to a lot

156
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: of different ones that didn't feel quite right, but then

157
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: when I found just I almost had to find the

158
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: church that fit me. And it kind of is a

159
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: very unique thing that I hold inside myself and I

160
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: know my morals. I know love is good. I know,

161
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: you know. That's like what I've come to is I

162
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: take from all different kinds of religions and just take

163
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: the most positive pieces. Yeah, in my mind, I have

164
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: my own church. And it was so much fun making

165
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: raising hell and performing that with you and when we tour,

166
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: because we will't just creating that almost like I really

167
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: wanted to create that with you, and I think we did.

168
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: It was like welcome to church, and the churches like

169
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 1: love one another, Yeah, shake your eyes and love one another. Well,

170
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you know that's what it's about. And and

171
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: and you know, the people us we make up the church,

172
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: the church that they call the church is just the

173
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: building the churches inside of us, and um, you know,

174
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: we make it up. So you know, I enjoyed making

175
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: Raising Hell and because it did have a spiritual background

176
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: and it felt really good, and you it was something

177
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: fun for our audience to be able to you know,

178
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: have the church in them and let it out and

179
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: express themselves and in the way that they want. So

180
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 1: you know, it's all about having what's inside if you

181
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: come out absolutely, I feel like it is it is

182
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: what's inside of you. And I've never heard it said

183
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: that way, but it is. A church is just where

184
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: you go to celebrate life and focus on the good

185
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: and try to bring out the good and be honest

186
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: about yourself, but in a building with other people. And

187
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: then the singing part of churches would always drew me

188
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: to church as well. Like I was never in a choir,

189
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: but you were in a choir, right yes, And I

190
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: was the quiet direct there. Yeah, and that's like where

191
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: you started singing, right yeah, that's the most funnest part.

192
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: You know. For me, it was always the music that

193
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: that drew everybody together and brought us together. Um, you know,

194
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: it was just like you can put on a good

195
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: gospel song. You have people standing up clapping, you have

196
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: people shouting, you have people dancing, you know, and that's

197
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: where the spirit came in when those mom that's what happened,

198
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: and it was through the music. Yes, And I love

199
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: when it all kind of happens at the same time.

200
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 1: I feel like music can be a really spiritual experience.

201
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: It can mean Yeah, so many different emotions you know,

202
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: can come out of music, from happy to say to

203
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: you know in between two to dancing. It's just so

204
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: many things that come from come from it. And that's

205
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: the fun part to see, especially in church, when it

206
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: all happens at the same time, because you have good

207
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: all of the things, the energy, the expulsion of sounds

208
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: and clapping and singing and all of that. Community. I

209
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: find community also for like as my church, my church's

210
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: music and my church's community. And I love being able

211
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: to create a space where we can all come and

212
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: do that. And that's what raising hell is really about.

213
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: For me. It's I'm not a perfect person, far from it.

214
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: And I like to do some ship that people would

215
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: probably categorizes not in the way of the Lord, but

216
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: maybe not. I mean, just like getting drunk and running

217
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: around and acting a fool, but it's all like in

218
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: good fun. And I think as long as you treat

219
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: people with respect and you're good, then that God or

220
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: higher consciousness, that's that's the exchange of energy. Oh yeah,

221
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what it's about. You know. The song

222
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: had great energy and and it brought people together, and

223
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: it gave us all a reason to want to raise

224
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: Hell just about enjoying life and living life and living

225
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: in our truth. And you know, it brings the community

226
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: of different people together and that was that was the

227
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: biggest part of bringing all these people together and doing

228
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: something positive through music, because you know, everybody might not

229
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: be able to get up and go to church, but

230
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: this is their church. We're giving them a piece of

231
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: church that relates to their religion or relates to uh

232
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: they're higher being or you know, their spiritual feeling. And

233
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: that's what's important. You know, He works in mysterious ways,

234
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: and he puts you know, us in different positions where

235
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: people are able to deliver and and make people know

236
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: who He is and in many different ways. And and

237
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: somebody may have got you know, closer to God listening

238
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:34,479
Speaker 1: to Raising Hell. I hope, so that would be amazing

239
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: I'm certain, I'm certain for sure that someone did well.

240
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:44,119
Speaker 1: And Chasing Rainbows too, like that song was so special

241
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: is so special. I was listening to it earlier because

242
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: my nieces in the video, my brother was just telling

243
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: you and she loves it, and she was the one.

244
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: She's about five. She told me that you were going

245
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: to be on the New Yar's Eve show. Yes, that

246
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: was How was that? Oh? It was great. I mean

247
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: the experience, you know, just doing something on a positive

248
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: note bringing in the new year in the countdown, I

249
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: had a blast. I can't wait to do it again,

250
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: and you know, hopefully next year I do it again.

251
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: You know, it was a lot. I just wish that

252
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: the world was open and that I could have had

253
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: the whole New Orleans behind me as we were doing it,

254
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: you know, because we have to kind of be like

255
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: socially distanced and people in these little circles and stuff.

256
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: But you know, next year, we're doing what we can

257
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: to try to stay sane and connected even with all

258
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: this going on. I know that you're killing it. And

259
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: I also heard I'm pretty sure I heard one of

260
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: your songs in a commercial like last night, but I didn't.

261
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: It went by so fast. One of your songs in

262
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: a commercial right now, yeah, JUBIDERM Yes, face filler is

263
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: that the lip filler? I was reading about, uh, Queen

264
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: Marie Lavaux, and I was so taken by her story.

265
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: Do you know about her? Like the queen of Voodoo

266
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: and New Orleans? And she just sounded like a wonderful person.

267
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: She helped feed people that couldn't afford to buy food, clothes,

268
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: kids on the streets, and just in like reading about

269
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: New Orleans. It's made me want to dive deeper into

270
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: what voodoo is because I think when I first hear

271
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: about it, you know, I'm from Nashville and then I

272
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: live in l A. It's a it's a removed thing

273
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: from my culture that I lived through. But it seems

274
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: like a really interesting and she seemed like a beautiful person.

275
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: It seems like a really interesting religion. What means I

276
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: think that you know, um, you know, in life, certain

277
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: people have certain positions that they feel, and I think

278
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: she did a great thing for New Orleans just in

279
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 1: the community. Um, that's just like divine prints. He helped

280
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people. He's always in tune to the

281
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: community and trying to help people to you know, going

282
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: the right direction or sphere of their life in the

283
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: direction in the right direction. That's why he's always doing readings.

284
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: And I think that, you know, she was another person

285
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: that UM has that's kind of the same path where

286
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: you're helping the community and helping people to kind of,

287
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: you know, fix something in their life that they UM,

288
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: you know, can fix before it becomes something else. When

289
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: I went to see the Voodoo Priests, UM, and you

290
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 1: saw that I was probably crying on the show. You know,

291
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: he had told me that he had sought death on

292
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: my brother and that he needs to fix some things

293
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: before it's too late. I told my brother, and UM,

294
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: he still wasn't fixing the things that he needs to fix.

295
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: And not long after me and the brutal pre spoke,

296
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: my brother was killed. And so I saw that. Thank you.

297
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying that people can feel some things

298
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: and know some things and have a connection what a

299
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: spirit and and be able to tell you things to

300
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: kind of help you down the line, and you should,

301
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes take advice and listen. And I'll pre

302
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: warn my brother. I tried to save him and did

303
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: everything in my power, and he just wouldn't listen and

304
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: things happen. So you know, spirits do um play their part.

305
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: You know, I listened to the Holy Spirit all the

306
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: time and try to let a guide me in the

307
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: right direction and keep me on the right path. Absolutely,

308
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm also I have a team of

309
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: angels or spirits. I'm not sure it's kind of you

310
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: can use whatever word, but just I feel like I'm

311
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: not alone. And I can tell if I'm making a

312
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: decision that's not a good decision, I can like, bitch,

313
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: maybe I where you look at that decision. Maybe try

314
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: to fix that decision because that's not you're not going

315
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: in the right direction. Yeah, and you know I feel

316
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: the same exactly what you just said, Like you know

317
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 1: there are you know, a spirit that guides us and um.

318
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: I also feel like I have guardian angels, you know,

319
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: my mom, my uncle, all the people who have helped me.

320
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: If I can hear my mom saying, oh, don't do

321
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:48,239
Speaker 1: that ship that is I'm no, don't do it. You

322
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 1: know I can hear saying yes, this is the direction

323
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: you want to go in. And she is my guardian

324
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: angel now who walks with me and on my side.

325
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: And and I'm always saying she's clearing paths for me

326
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: for certain things. You know, I genuinely think it's true

327
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 1: because there have been so many times in my life

328
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: I can't see what's happening or why it's happening. And

329
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: then later on, after you've had to go through this

330
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: ship storm or something really difficult, then you understand why

331
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 1: it happened. Yeah, it clicks in. It clicks in, and

332
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: be like, oh, that that was the reason. You know,

333
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,959
Speaker 1: this is why this happened to get to this. You know,

334
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: I totally feel it, Like even this year, I feel

335
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: like this past year has been so difficult and just

336
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: overwhelmingly intense. I don't know how it's been for you.

337
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: I actually want to ask you it's been for you.

338
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 1: It's saying it's crazy, so so crazy, unlike anything I've

339
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: ever experienced in my life, saying especially you know, I'm

340
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: we always want to go, we're always working, were always creating,

341
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: and to just have to kind of all of that

342
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: just stopped all at once. You know, it messages you up,

343
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: It really messages you up, and they put you in

344
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: a whole different mind frame. You know, then you have

345
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: to try to figure out new ways and things and

346
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: it's a lot. So yeah, I think my spirit helped

347
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 1: guide me through this quarantine as well, because I was

348
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: in the first couple of weeks, I was freaking out

349
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: my album had just dropped. I didn't get the promo it,

350
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 1: you know, I had to be called off a little

351
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: promo tour as soon as they dropped. So it was

352
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: just all kind of weird feelings and spaces I was in.

353
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: And I think the spirit has definitely helped guide me

354
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: not to lose my mind. I'm with you the first

355
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: couple of like the first couple of months I was.

356
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: I remember calling my therapist and being like, I think

357
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: I'm losing my mind and she said, no, You're having

358
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 1: a spiritual awakening. And I was like, but why does

359
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: it feel like I'm going just completely insane? And I

360
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: think it's like you said, we just are always on

361
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 1: the always creating, always putting all this energy into all

362
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 1: these things, and then to just have like a cold

363
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: stop right after I just put my album out too,

364
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: and I canceled the whole tour with you and all

365
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: the promo, and I felt like I just poured my

366
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 1: heart and soul into making this thing and it never

367
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: got to Yeah, to flourish. Listen, we and I'm telling

368
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: we had the same feelings and I was just like

369
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: you know, but it also gave us a chance to

370
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: reevaluate ourselves and to reevaluate our life and our surroundings

371
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 1: and everything around us. And it gave us a chance

372
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: to just take a break for ourself and you know,

373
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: really just look at things in a different light. You know. Um,

374
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: now we can create a new sound and a new

375
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,959
Speaker 1: energy and a new wave of stuff that that, you know,

376
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: after looking over what we just went through in the

377
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: last year, now it's twenty one, we can create something

378
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: new and give people a new a new space of energy, love, music, light,

379
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: you know. Um, kind of to goal come from where

380
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: it was in and come into a new space in

381
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: you know, we all went through something. So now we

382
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: we have the opportunity to use our platforms to create

383
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: new sounds and and all of that, you know. And

384
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: so I'm interested to see how this year will go

385
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: versus last year. You know me too. It's come out

386
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: with a bang of a start, with a bunch of

387
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: crazy shit already going on. But I'm I'm hoping between

388
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: Army Hammer being accountable and the insurrection on the Capitol,

389
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: all of those things. Hopefully, like we got out of

390
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: our system for this year and we can just get

391
00:23:54,320 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: the vaccine make some new music. I feel so, um,

392
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: so different than I did a year ago. And I'm

393
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: excited to see what other artists are going to make

394
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: out at this time because I just feel like we

395
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: all feel weird about it, we all feel crazy about it,

396
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: and now it's time to channel that in the art,

397
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: which is exciting. Yeah, it is exciting, and it's scary. Yeah,

398
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: it's excited and scary at the same time. So um,

399
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: you know, and I've I've been really happy about what

400
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 1: I've been creating, um lately. You know what I did

401
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: do though, just to keep busy. You know, I was

402
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: doing a little shakedown Fridays in my backyard when Quarantine

403
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 1: thought it and I had thought at the little cooking chill,

404
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: but the but I was going to the studio more

405
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: than ever and creating sounds and channeling my energy and

406
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: letting you know, shipped out in the in the in

407
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: the box. And so I'm excited about the new wave

408
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: of music that will be coming this year. And um,

409
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just in a different as you know,

410
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: I've even when I perform, I'm in a different space

411
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:09,479
Speaker 1: and it's just it's really weird. You haven't performed except

412
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: for virtual stuff. But that's what I'm saying. It's been

413
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: virtual and I've had maybe like maybe three gigs that

414
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: was out into the public and and so, um, just

415
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: a weird balance now. And it's just like I want

416
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 1: to get back to that, to that feeling, you know,

417
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: of where I was, and it's just so weird now.

418
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to see where it's going to go. Though,

419
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: um once everything open back up, and will I get

420
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: back there or will will they go into a whole

421
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: new direction? You know, Well that's the thing. It could

422
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: take you in a whole new direction, which is scary,

423
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: but it's also so exciting to maybe have I've taken

424
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: this year because that was what I was worried about too.

425
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, I want to get back to something like

426
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: maybe I don't want to get back to something, maybe

427
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: I want to get into who I've become. And and

428
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: just knowing that, I feel like a very deep change

429
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: in myself. It's exciting but terrifying. It is it is

430
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: so well, hopefully this your girl, we get to go

431
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: on so where Inchiano? All of that okay, and we

432
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: won't be tired from promo so we can really check

433
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: our uses like never before. Yes, I'm ready, God, I

434
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: mean do. I've been dancing around my house like a

435
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: complete fool this quarantine. But I'm just practicing, practicing for tour. Listen.

436
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: You gotta keep the energy up though, and that's the thing, like,

437
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: you know, as artists, we have to keep our energy

438
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: up because you know, we don't want to get lazy

439
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: and sluggish, and you know when we go out there,

440
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: we gotta hit it hard. So it's just been like damn,

441
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: I want to relax, but I also got to keep active.

442
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: So I've just been on the go constant, constant. You know,

443
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: it's good for you. I don't know how to relax,

444
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: and me either, Like it's the I don't know how.

445
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: It's the worst. People always like what you do for

446
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: self care. Um, I go to sleep and try to

447
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: get a nap. You know that's myself care because I'm

448
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: always going to go I can't even I like, I

449
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: get a massage like once a month, but I've been

450
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: doing that this year, or I'll go to a show.

451
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: I can't do that this year. I just really missed

452
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: the human connection, Like I love being able to see

453
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 1: you and you're in New Orleans and this is amazing,

454
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,720

459
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: I can't wait for that moment. I love that it's

460
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: something to look forward to because after the the was

461
00:27:54,320 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: Spanish flu in nineteen seventeen, then came like what was

462
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: it called, what was the tent called? Yes, the Roaring twenties.

463
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:10,479
Speaker 1: So I'm hoping if we look to history, that there's

464
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 1: something that keeps everybody inside and then right afterwards there's

465
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 1: an explosion of parties and music and art and wildness

466
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: and energy and connection. And that's what I'm praying for. Listen.

467
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 1: I feel it's going to happen. I definitely feel it.

468
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: I've been saying that, you know in the low places

469
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: that's been sneaking opening, like you know, Atlanta and Houston

470
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: and all that you know, those people are still like

471
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: kind of parting a little bit, but the places that

472
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: have been not really opening, the clubs and the spaces,

473
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,719
Speaker 1: where did all of this happened. When it do, it's

474
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: gonna be like Wildfire's shift. People shaking asses everywhere, turning

475
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: up bottles, popping, you know, laughing and screaming. And I

476
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: haven't saw you in years. You know, all that's gonna

477
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: be going down. It's just gonna be crazy all over

478
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: the world. I can't wait. I'm just like all my friends,

479
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: all my fans and just turned up like me too.

480
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yes, you're making me excited just thinking

481
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: about it, like change, because I got excited. It's coming.

482
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: It's coming. It's a new year. It's going to come.

483
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: But oh, speaking of like partying, I've never been to

484
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: Marty Gras and not maybe not this year. But we're

485
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,640

486
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: They counseled Mighty Grod girl, And I mean, that's like

487
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: the biggest thing for New Orleans. That's the you know,

488
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: that's the money maker here, that's the biggest tourist attraction,

489
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: and we're not having it. They're talking about some doing,

490
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: you know, a bite mighty grass, some type of ship,

491
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: you know, and want me to be the Grandma show

00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: girl you get that would be amazing. You want to

493
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: bike being the big grand Marshal. Do you get a

494
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: key to the city. I don't want being a Grand

495
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: marsha for no parade. That ain't happening. I want to

496
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: be the Grand Marshal of something, the Grand Marshall when

497
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: it's actual mighty ground. Okay, we're going to put out

498

Speaker 1: a p s A with you saying that. Okay, I

499
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: would vote for you. I don't know if that helps.

500
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: But if people vote out up for you, I don't

501
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: think they pick. They just I don't know how they pick.

502
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: I guess somebody has to pick between all of the

503
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: clubs and like you just it's just a huge party

504
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: and Marshall usually is at the front of the parade

505
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: on the on like the biggest float in welcoming everybody

506
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:55,280

Speaker 1: Court is out there with you, and they have the

508
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: big crown, and you know, it just depends like mostly

509
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: when it's a celebrity though there they might wear a

510
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: costume or they might not. But They're up there waving

Speaker 1: their own parade and the other crew throws around parade? Well, yeah,

522
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: every crew throws their own parade, usually the bigger cruise

523
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: that's been around for years, like the Zulu, Um, the

524
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: Endemian and Bakers like that. It's an organization and and

525
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: they have a night that their their parade rose throughout

526
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: the city and they usually connected with all the all

527
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: the parades because you know, kings and queens of all

528
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: the groups have to get together, and you know it's

529
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: all ran by the city, so they have to they

530
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: connect everybody together. But they're all separate groups, all throughout

531
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: the city. Okay, one year, I'm going to come. Yeah,

Speaker 1: the girls up Bourbon Street, they're just titterless all night.

539
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: That might be me, depending on how many drinks I've had,

540
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: I might be up there with you, acting very distinguished

00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: documentary or the movie Free to Out a Gun, and

574
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: that was so moving and just so much about New

575
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 1: Orleans I didn't realize, including the passing of your cousin

576
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 1: and your brother, And I just want to tell you

577
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, because I do see on your Instagram that, yeah,

578
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: there's a lot we deal with and there's a lot

579
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,720
Speaker 1: of ideal with. But you know, I tried to remember

580
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 1: those people in good light and good spirit and continue

581
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: to celebrate their life and their legacy and let them

582
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: live through me, you know, especially if they're my family

583
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: and we're connected. I try to remember them by doing

584
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 1: something good that they would have done, or something that

585
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: they could have tried to change. I'll try to do

586
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 1: it in my life. It's amazing the documentary you made,

587
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,959
Speaker 1: Freed to Got a Gun. It's streaming on Peacock, and

588
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 1: it just shows kind of the cyclical issues of gun

589
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: violence in New Orleans. And as someone that's never lived

590
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: there and only visited a couple of times, I had

591
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:06,240
Speaker 1: no idea that it was one of the top cities

592
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: for death spike gun violence America and I was just wondering, like,

593
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: what would you say would be a start to addressing

594
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: that issue. Well, you know, the guns. It's the guns

595
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 1: are the big problem. You know, just being able to

596
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:35,280
Speaker 1: have easy access to guns. Um, these parents not really

597
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: watching their kids around guns. You know, It's a lot

598
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: has to happen in order for this to happen. With

599
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: with with trying to get a balance on these guns,

600
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: from the companies to the to you know, our local

601
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: and national leaders, to us as a community. Um. You know,

602
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: I just went through something this week that was letting

603
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 1: me know the reason why I'm fighting so much about

604
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: this gun violence and trying to get strict a gun laws.

605
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: Because my best friend had a birthday party on Friday,

606
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 1: and at the party, a five year old baby got

607
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: hold to a gun and shot a four year old

608
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: baby in the head. Which all these kids I know

609
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,479
Speaker 1: and grew up and watched them from when they came out.

610
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 1: And this is a family that I'm very connected with.

611
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: So this is the reason why guns need to, you know,

612
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: be removed. I mean, if every if there was no

613
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 1: guns in the world, we wouldn't be having all these

614
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: issues and all these killings. Only people that I think

615
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: really need guns or our you know, our armies that

616
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 1: has to fight for war or you know, defend our country.

617
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 1: But you have so many people that just have easy

618
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 1: access to guns, and and it's it's it harms all

619
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 1: of us in the in and um so, yeah, that's

620
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: what I dealt with just this week. And it was horrible.

621
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: The baby is still needs a new skull and so

622
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: and he did survive, He did survive. Yeah, but that's

623
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: so horrifying to think of seeing that happen to such

624
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: a young person that probably doesn't even understand what they're holding,

625
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: or so innocent, hasn't even got a chance at life,

626
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: you know, and all to a gun. You know, the

627
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 1: baby went looking at the searching and found how old

628
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,919
Speaker 1: the cousin's gun that was put away, and it's it's

629
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 1: about fifteen children in the room and one gets shot

630
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: in the head. So I didn't that would be so

631
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: scary And I'm so sorry. And after watching your documentary,

632
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 1: I it opened my eyes to a lot of things

633
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 1: I had no idea about about the gun violence in

634
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: New Orleans and guns in general. I personally am just

635
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: terrified of guns. I don't, you know, the Second Amendment

636
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: and there's people fighting for their necessity to have guns,

637
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: and unless you're going and hunting for your dinner or

638
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: your law enforcement, and that even is like, well they

639
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 1: need to yeah, the law enforcement dealing with using less guns,

640
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 1: and just the systemic racism under who is getting shot

641
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: more often than yeah, it's black people, not white people,

642
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:45,760
Speaker 1: And just I don't know, the whole monstrosity of guns.

643
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: It would be a wonderful thing if we could make

644
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: them at least harder to get to have to get

645
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:56,240
Speaker 1: your mental illness evaluated before you get a firearm, because

646
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: you know, it's just you. You've given it to people

647
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: and you really don't know their coredela, their conditions and

648
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: or or whatever. As long as they got the money,

649
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,240
Speaker 1: they got the gun, you know. And a lot of times,

650
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 1: a lot of these ways that they're transporting the guns

651
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: or or whatever, people are breaking on the trains and

652
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 1: in different places to get the guns. They just need

653
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: to be stricker and tighter laws and security in place

654
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: when all of this stuff is happening. Well, it was

655
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: a very moving documentary and I urged anybody listening to

656
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: go watch it. And I'm so sorry again, this is

657
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: like an ongoing thing that's happening in your life. I

658
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: want to ask, this is purely just from watching that.

659
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 1: How is the younger? He was like ten years old.

660
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 1: I think his name is Devon. Devon, Yeah, same as

661
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 1: my boyfriend. And that was crazy that him and my

662
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: boyfriend has the same name. That is just going fine.

663
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: He actually just got out of jail. Devon is all

664
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 1: grown up that it's not a little kid anymore. Devin

665
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 1: has sprouted up to about six three six four. He's

666
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: taller than me. And you know how small he was

667
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 1: when he was on a documentary and I haven't saw

668
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: him since, and the boy just I don't know. It

669
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: was like he ate a tree and grow as tall

670
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 1: as the tree. He's doing well though. I've been keeping

671
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:26,439
Speaker 1: in contact with him, and you know, he's staying out

672
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,760
Speaker 1: of trouble. He has to be inside by six pm

673
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 1: every day. He has some strict you know, things that

674
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: he has to do. But he wouldn't be in that

675
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 1: position if he was doing right. And you know, hopefully

676
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: he's going to get on the right path now. And

677
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: he had to become a victim of the system in

678
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 1: order to you know, and now somebody's regulating his life.

679
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: That should not be happening as a young kid. You know,

680
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 1: he should be able to be free and live his

681
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: life and be who he wants to be um when

682
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: he grow up and enjoy life and in his community.

683
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 1: But now he has to be inside at a certain

684
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: time and win an ankle monitor and you know, so

685
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: hopefully he gets it together and we're gonna keep fighting

686
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 1: with him to stay on the right path. And and see,

687
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: I think that is going to be something very powerful

688
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 1: when he gets older, and that he's going to make

689
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: some type of change in his world because of the

690
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 1: path that he had to go down in order to

691
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: change his life. Well, if you speak to him, or

692
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 1: if there's anything I can do, but just under my love,

693
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 1: and I just want to see him win. Yeah me,

694
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 1: So we all do, you know, And that's the thing.

695
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 1: We all want to see our kids win, and all

696
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: the kids in the community, and we want to see

697
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: them be successful and do something, and you know, we

698
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: want to break some of these generational curses that's happening,

699
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: you know, of these kids just following the same thing

700
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: that they saw and and and and become a victim

701
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: to the system. And I'm just tired of it. I've

702
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 1: been seeing it all my life, and I just want

703
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 1: better from our community. Absolutely, it's a beautiful community. It's fascinating,

704
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 1: Like after watching between your documentary and just reading about

705
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: New Orleans and the history of Mardi Gras and about

706
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 1: um Marie wait, I'm gonna sunk up her name, Marie Laveau,

707
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:21,399
Speaker 1: just all of it. It's just so vibrant and so

708
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: full of life. And it's a real shame when a

709
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 1: gun gets in the way of someone living a really beautiful, joyous, celebratory,

710
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: full community loved life because of one stupid moment with

711
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: a stupid gun. So it was really touching and thank

712
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: you for making that, and it really was informative for me.

713
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:52,240
Speaker 1: And then sissy bounce. You're one of the queens and

714
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: there's no sissy bounds. No, it's just see Okay, I'd

715
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 1: never heard of the term cissy bound. But then I

716
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 1: start and our reporter came and was like, you know,

717
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 1: put a title on it. We don't put titles on it.

718
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: It's just bounced music. I'm a gay artists who happened

719
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,879
Speaker 1: to do, you know, bounce music, So it's just bounce music. Yeah,

720
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 1: we don't separate it here in New Orleans. Everybody just

721
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 1: if you do bounce music, if you just do bounce music,

722
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: there's no such thing, get straight bounce or sisty bounce.

723
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: It's all just bounced music. And they tried to put

724
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: it in a category. But you know, nobody can't box

725
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: the queen in No, they sure as hell can't. I apologize.

726
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: I read that. I read that, and I was never

727
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 1: head that before. Oh my god, I have done hundreds

728
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: of articles cleaning that up from one article. It's not

729
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: sissy bounce, it's motherfucking bounce period period. Okay, and you

730
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 1: are the queen of bounce? And how did that between

731
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 1: church and between just like living in New Orleans, was

732
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:03,839
Speaker 1: that just like the thing you were drawn to? Did

733
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 1: you always know you wanted? No? I did not. So

734
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: being acquired director, people knew me all around the city.

735
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 1: You know, I traveled with the choir, you know, doing music,

736
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: and you know I was also the choiet directly at

737
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: my church home and and my high school. So I

738
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: was well known with with the choir and with music.

739
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:29,800
Speaker 1: And when I transitioned, you know, in in nine um

740
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: to kind of start stepping into the bounce game, it

741
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 1: just kind of happened you know, having fun, you know,

742
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: with people in my neighborhood, making fun, crazy stuff up,

743
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: saying it in the neighborhood, grabbing the mic at the

744
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 1: clubs and at the black party, is doing it. And

745
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 1: then it's just we started coming becoming the catch and everybody, Oh,

746
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna get on the mic, You're gonna do this,

747
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 1: You're gonna do that. And once I went made my

748
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 1: first song, there was no looking back. Yeah, the rest

749
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: is history, queen. Okay, I gotta really, I got like

750
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 1: four stupid questions. They're like quick fire. So if you

751
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: were a ghost, what would be your style of hunting?

752
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 1: Your signature? If I was the ghost, what would be

753
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: my style of hunting? Probably something sexual. Pulling dicks. Oh

754
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 1: my god, yes, I'm gonna pull your dick off. I

755
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,839
Speaker 1: want to join you in the afterlife if that is okay? Yes?

756
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: And who would you hunt? I just told you all

757
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 1: the boys, the good ones are the bad ones. The

758
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 1: good ones, Well, I mean I'll just go, you know,

759
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 1: just take a little peek at the good ones. The

760
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: bad ones. We're gonna hunt them. We're gonna pull there

761
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,040
