Speaker 1: The quest Loft Show is a production of iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: What's Up, Good People? This is quest Love.
Speaker 1: In addition to our weekly interviews of The Quest Loft Show,
Speaker 1: I'm going to be doing some things periodically where I'll
Speaker 1: tell you a little bit more about a guest or
Speaker 1: what's going on in my life.
Speaker 2: I think they call this musings. You know.
Speaker 1: Another thing we want to do is take your feedback,
Speaker 1: take your questions, and I will answer them to the
Speaker 1: best of my abilities. So I'm giving you the listeners
Speaker 1: a chance to engage with me. You could DM me
Speaker 1: to either the QLs account. Matter of fact, only dm
Speaker 1: the QLs account. Don't DM my account because I barely
Speaker 1: check my own account. Okay, follow QLs on ig or
Speaker 1: go through Questlove Supreme dot com. And you know, we'll
Speaker 1: be recording these a few times a month where I'll basically,
Speaker 1: you know, answer letters. So people pointed out that I
Speaker 1: fist pumped at Samrow saying it. Can you explain why
Speaker 1: cappin is my favorite breakfast Cereal Captain Crunch, specifically, I
Speaker 1: love peanut butter Captain Crunch.
Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 1: The attraction to Cereal, especially if you were in the
Speaker 1: sixties and seventies born Is they used to put prizes
Speaker 1: in the cereal and man Captain Crunch had the most
Speaker 1: innovative probably the best thing they ever had. It was
Speaker 1: like a car and you needed a balloon. You blow
Speaker 1: the balloon up and you attach it to the car
Speaker 1: and the air of that balloon. What we was the
Speaker 1: car down the not down the block like four meters. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it was all about the prize that you would
Speaker 1: get out of the cereal. And so living at my
Speaker 1: grandmam's house with all my cousins, Early Berry gets the worm.
Speaker 1: Man get up Saturday mornings at like six thirty evan
Speaker 1: when Courageous Cat Minute Mouse's is on. And the thing was,
Speaker 1: we were not allowed to cheat. You were not allowed
Speaker 1: to put your hand inside the box or your.
Speaker 2: Dirty hands in the cat your dirty hands hands out
Speaker 2: of that.
Speaker 1: Box, my Grandma, you would have to naturally let the
Speaker 1: prize fall out. So you know, that's why I love
Speaker 1: Captain Crunch. How do I spend the first hour of
Speaker 1: my day today?
Speaker 2: Specifically?
Speaker 1: All right, I overslept the day I got up at
Speaker 1: eight thirty. Normally my body clock wakes me up at
Speaker 1: like five point thirty seven. Am and I do my
Speaker 1: morning routine. I to my gratitudes. My gratitudes is five
Speaker 1: minutes of whatever I'm looking at I'm thinking like right now,
Speaker 1: I'm thankful, for instance, I'm thankful for Stevie Wonder's songs
Speaker 1: in the Key of Life record. I'm thankful for my
Speaker 1: crystal collection. I'm thankful for where eucalyptics flowers. I'm thankful
Speaker 1: for the color red. This is an exercise of gratitude.
Speaker 1: I do my breathing exercises for about ten minutes. It's
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, so one of my therapists is requiring
Speaker 1: me to write out my goals. I've been procrastinating, So
Speaker 1: procrastinating is one of the or stalling. I was supposed
Speaker 1: to turn in my twenty twenty six list in December,
Speaker 1: and I have yet to do it. So I got
Speaker 1: to work on that. Then I listened to the brand
Speaker 1: new song that I created two nights ago. That's Week's
Speaker 1: very excited about going to make some changes to it.
Speaker 1: I prove the credits for the Earth, Wind and Fire movie,
Speaker 1: and then.
Speaker 2: And push back to.
Speaker 1: The feedback I got for the Open Mic Eagle episode.
Speaker 1: There's a book that I got that teaches like leaders
Speaker 1: or journalist how to be direct. But even based on this,
Speaker 1: I'm failing because you know, I'm answering a question that
Speaker 1: should easily just be forty seconds.
Speaker 2: It's nine hours anyway.
Speaker 1: So yes, I am actively learning how to be a
Speaker 1: suctinct communicator because that's an effective communicator.
Speaker 2: And then I got out.
Speaker 1: Of bed and here I am at my day job
Speaker 1: telling you what I did today. All right, hope that
Speaker 1: answers your question, all right. So the next one is
Speaker 1: I asked Malcolm Gladwell this question last year and he
Speaker 1: really liked it. So my producers put it to me.
Speaker 1: What piece of art do I wish I'd discovered earlier?
Speaker 1: As far as music's concerned. I wish that I was
Speaker 1: a year early to jay Dilla. Hugh Tip got to
Speaker 1: jay Dilla's World in ninety four. I got to jay
Speaker 1: Dilla's World in ninety five. Wish I had that extra year,
Speaker 1: just to be even further enlightened as far as artist concerned.
Speaker 2: I got very lucky. I went to the Jim Henson.
Speaker 1: Slash Charlie Chaplin Studios. Shout out to McGee and John
Speaker 1: Mayer for saving that institution, by the way, and before
Speaker 1: he passed away, artists Ernie Barnes. Ernie Barnes of course,
Speaker 1: being an artist who did all the artwork for the
Speaker 1: Good Times sitcom. You also know his paintings as Marvin
Speaker 1: Gaye's Sugar Shack cover from Me I Want You album cover.
Speaker 1: So before he passed away, he wanted all of his artwork,
Speaker 1: all the sketches, to go to the Jim Henson studios.
Speaker 1: So when you initially get there, it's just undated with
Speaker 1: like three hundred art pieces just hanging all over the walls,
Speaker 1: like everywhere. There's even a copy of Sugar Shack. I
Speaker 1: believe Eddie Murphy owns the original Sugar Shack. And when
Speaker 1: they put me him to the fact that all of
Speaker 1: his artworker was there, I asked the manager of the place, like,
Speaker 1: can I acquire one of these?
Speaker 2: And they're like, oh my god, yes, we're trying to
Speaker 2: get rid of them.
Speaker 1: So I got very lucky right before the pandemic, and
Speaker 1: I purchased three of his pieces, which now are kind
Speaker 1: of priceless, like I wish I would have collected his
Speaker 1: stuff earlier. I know that in one of Kanye West
Speaker 1: his houses, he commissioned Ernie Barnes to paint his ceiling
Speaker 1: like sort of like a hood version of the Sistine
Speaker 1: Chapel over in Italy. So yeah, I wish i'd kind
Speaker 1: of acquired Ernie Barnes's worst you know earlier. All right,
Speaker 1: So someone asked if I had a week to myself,
Speaker 1: where would I go?
Speaker 2: And why.
Speaker 1: If I had a week to myself, I love going
Speaker 1: to Japan because the food there is just otherworldly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: any place with with grade a Omakasi sushi.
Speaker 2: That's that's how I get down.
Speaker 1: Way in my heart is taking me to an Oma
Speaker 1: Kasi spot with quality sushi.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Mali Mali in Hawaii where Shep Gordon Is. I love
Speaker 1: going out there and just oh man, so beautiful. Also,
Speaker 1: you know, I love Portland. I love Austin trains. I think,
Speaker 1: all right, if given a week, my new thing is
Speaker 1: train travel, luxury train travel. You know, Soul Train is
Speaker 1: my favorite show and actual trains are my favorite mode
Speaker 1: of transportation.
Speaker 2: So I would probably go to South Africa.
Speaker 1: I believe South Africa has the most richiest, fanciest train travel.
Speaker 1: Like they have a line that sort of coasts the
Speaker 1: entire coast of Africa from like northern all the way
Speaker 1: down to South Africa. I think it's like a four
Speaker 1: day or five day excursion, so that's what I would do. Lastly,
Speaker 1: where's your next vacation? Chelsea Handler and I spoke about
Speaker 1: why she loves Spain so much. Actually, Chelsea is our
Speaker 1: guest today on the Tonight Show. This is where I
Speaker 1: am right now doing it. I'm a guy that travels
Speaker 1: a lot, so vacations aren't to me, like vacation is
Speaker 1: work and being home is vacation. But yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I love world traveling. So again, shout out to those
Speaker 1: cities I mentioned earlier, like Portland and Austin and Tokyo
Speaker 1: and Hawaii and the UK. I still love it there.
