Speaker 1: Hey, that folks. In this special Grammy Awards edition of
Speaker 1: Amy and TJ, the biggest surprise on Grammy Night happened
Speaker 1: before the Grammys ever even started. Yeah, everybody, welcome to
Speaker 1: this robes. I guess let me start first. What would
Speaker 1: you say the standout moments of the night for you were,
Speaker 1: first of all, for our show that actually went almost
Speaker 1: four freaking hours.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was alone. I mean, I'm tired, and yet
Speaker 2: it was so entertaining. The highlight began, yes, before the
Speaker 2: show began, when someone decided to show up in their
Speaker 2: birthday suit.
Speaker 1: No, but just for the moments of the night. We're
Speaker 1: going to get into that, of course, but just throughout
Speaker 1: the night, what jumps out and stands out at as
Speaker 1: the biggest moments for you? We can get into a
Speaker 1: lot of them, but off the top of your head,
Speaker 1: what jumped out? Edge?
Speaker 2: I loved how they started. The opening act was an
Speaker 2: unknown band, but it was a band, a local band
Speaker 2: from LA that lost everything, their homes, their studio. So
Speaker 2: it was so cool that they gave them a nod
Speaker 2: and it was fun. The song I Love La, it
Speaker 2: just it set the tone for the night. So I loved,
Speaker 2: loved that with some other big moments. I loved Beyonce
Speaker 2: acting shocked that she won Best Country Artists. Do you
Speaker 2: think she really was shocked?
Speaker 1: Not on that one. That's going to be a meme
Speaker 1: if you haven't seen it. Yes, that meme is going
Speaker 1: to go everywhere. Just her reaction to it you can use.
Speaker 2: To me, Yes, immensely. Because also, I just I love
Speaker 2: Tipsy Shaboozy, so I loved watching him perform. That was
Speaker 2: a big highlight for me. Honestly, Bruno Mars and Lady
Speaker 2: Gaga California Dreaming, that was like crazy good. I loved
Speaker 2: watching that. The Quincy Jones tribute was phenomenal and Stevie
Speaker 2: Wonder hearing him sing we are the World amazing that
Speaker 2: was so so freaking cool to me. Let's see what
Speaker 2: else I loved. I loved well, Miley Cyrus Slade. She
Speaker 2: looked so great. But Kendrick Lamar, I loved watching you,
Speaker 2: watching Kendrick Lamar sweep the Grammys, and you were so excited,
Speaker 2: and I was so excited that you were so excited.
Speaker 2: So that became a big moment for me. And honestly,
Speaker 2: I loved watching the La Fire Department announced the album
Speaker 2: of the year. I thought that was amazing.
Speaker 1: We should give credit. That was well done. Several things
Speaker 1: by the Recording Academy tonight to honor Look, they said, yes,
Speaker 1: we're going to keep the show. A lot of people
Speaker 1: criticize that maybe the Grammy shouldn't go on, it should
Speaker 1: change the show in some way. They did change the
Speaker 1: show and change the tone and the feel of it,
Speaker 1: which is great, but little things throughout the night. Yes,
Speaker 1: having the fundraiser, they said they raised seven million dollars
Speaker 1: to night just for people watching and contributing through the
Speaker 1: QR code. That doesn't even count all the people that
Speaker 1: Trevor Nuura called out in the arena, like all you all,
Speaker 1: and oh yeah, and those big luxury boxes up there,
Speaker 1: all you companies, And sure enough throughout the night he
Speaker 1: started saying, yeah, this company has contributed. I thought that
Speaker 1: was just well done, and it really was them giving
Speaker 1: commercial time local businesses. That's awesome.
Speaker 2: That was another favorite moment where you saw the local
Speaker 2: businesses and we walked those streets. We saw at least
Speaker 2: that neighborhood in Palisades, Pacific Palisades where all of these
Speaker 2: businesses were wiped out, to see them get airtime to
Speaker 2: rebuild their businesses back. That was awesome.
Speaker 1: It was so smart and just an easy, nice little nod,
Speaker 1: a nugget. I thought that was really really cool.
Speaker 2: It really was, it really And I like the Trevor
Speaker 2: Noah told all the folks watching at home, Hey, you
Speaker 2: can contribute a dollar, We'll take it. So whatever you
Speaker 2: had to give, it was just an incentive to do so.
Speaker 2: And I love the stories that were told. Oh, the
Speaker 2: we Are the World, the Stevie Wonder moment, the choruses
Speaker 2: that were we are the World. That was from two
Speaker 2: chorus clubs, I believe, from two of the high schools
Speaker 2: that were burned down in so that was also every
Speaker 2: moment that they could take to pay some respect or
Speaker 2: at least give a nod to folks who'd lost everything.
Speaker 2: They did it in such a respectful, beautiful way.
Speaker 1: And you know, the simplest thing in the world. Palis
Speaker 1: Age Charter High School and the other was Pasadena Wolldorf
Speaker 1: in Altadena. Those two high schools burned down and they
Speaker 1: got a chance to be on that stage. They were
Speaker 1: just little sprinkled It was yes, it was all you
Speaker 1: were always aware of it. And I don't think they
Speaker 1: were they always they found a way to sprinkle it
Speaker 1: in in just the right way. Yes, that it felt good.
Speaker 1: I liked what they did with the show.
Speaker 2: I loved what they did. The only moment where I
Speaker 2: thought they went too far and it was a head
Speaker 2: scratcher for me, was when Charlie XCX, who was an
Speaker 2: amazing performer by the way, they were throwing around underwear
Speaker 2: and bra or whatever bras on the stage and all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, you see this, this little message on
Speaker 2: the bottom of your screen. All unworn undergarments will be
Speaker 2: donated to women's survivors of domestic violence. I mean that.
Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, that was now you just now
Speaker 2: you just tried too much. That that was too much
Speaker 2: for me.
Speaker 1: That was ridiculous to show. No, they wanted to show
Speaker 1: that they were using everything. They were trying to make
Speaker 1: the point that we aren't being wasteful. Okay, they wanted
Speaker 1: to cover themselves.
Speaker 2: I left. I'm sorry it was too much for me.
Speaker 1: We actually did rewind. Wait a minute, did say.
Speaker 2: They actually just put that notice up. Don't worry, all
Speaker 2: of this lingerie, this lacy lingerie is all going to
Speaker 2: help women with your survivors of domestic violence was underwear.
Speaker 2: It was a little strange under.
Speaker 1: Your car, a lit strange, but yeah, they found a
Speaker 1: way to incorporate the disaster. The tone was right, still celebratory,
Speaker 1: it was still fun at times, it was pointing at time.
Speaker 1: It wasn't sad.
Speaker 2: Though, and you remembered as you were enjoying these artists
Speaker 2: and honoring them for all the work that they do
Speaker 2: helping us get through our days and through the moments
Speaker 2: in our lives. Music is so powerful that way. But
Speaker 2: I just thought it was such a great way to
Speaker 2: also remind everyone, Hey, people are still suffering, people still
Speaker 2: lost everything, people still need your help. I just thought
Speaker 2: it was so well done.
Speaker 1: So going back to your yes, let's go now to
Speaker 1: your point. Before the show ever started, part of these
Speaker 1: awards nights or you get a chance to watch the
Speaker 1: red carpet, so you watch those early shows that start
Speaker 1: sometimes two three hours before the main show. Folks walk
Speaker 1: the red carpet. Fine, so we started, I guess we
Speaker 1: turned it on six thirtyish. The show was eight o'clock
Speaker 1: Eastern time, six thirtyish. But even before we started really watching,
Speaker 1: we started getting alerts and notices from some of are
Speaker 1: hard people. First of all like did you see this?
Speaker 1: And check this out?
Speaker 2: And your sister even texted you.
Speaker 1: Like what the actual hell is going on? And it
Speaker 1: was about it never fails, right broe. Somebody makes a
Speaker 1: fashion statement on the red carpet every time.
Speaker 2: Sure this was I don't even know what the statement was.
Speaker 2: She was naked on the red carpet Kanye's wife, Bianca Sensori.
Speaker 2: People made a lot of jokes about her last name
Speaker 2: that she should have sent soried herself. But you could
Speaker 2: completely see everything. She was completely naked. She had a
Speaker 2: see through and i'll put this in air quotes dress
Speaker 2: on because it was basically just a see through stocking.
Speaker 2: I don't know what it was. But she had no wonderwhere,
Speaker 2: she had no raw but you could see it all.
Speaker 2: And she had a big fur coat on initially, so
Speaker 2: she got through to the red carpet with that, and
Speaker 2: then when she dramatically took it off in front of
Speaker 2: all the photographers. People are even wondering and asking online
Speaker 2: if she could be facing charges because it's actually against
Speaker 2: the law in California to do what she did.
Speaker 1: Sho okay, and there's plenty of video evidence of what
Speaker 1: she did, and some of you may have seen it
Speaker 1: by now, but if you did not, and it's everywhere online,
Speaker 1: you'll probably look it up if you haven't after you
Speaker 1: hear what we're talking about. But she steps into the
Speaker 1: red carpet with conn This is the grammy, y'all. These
Speaker 1: are cameras. There's one of the biggest red carpet events
Speaker 1: that we have in the country, and she's wearing a
Speaker 1: big dark fur coat. He comes out, Kanye just stands
Speaker 1: on the red carpet, faces straight ahead, dark T shirt,
Speaker 1: dark glasses, and just faces photographers. She comes out, stands
Speaker 1: next to him, but with her back to photographers, and
Speaker 1: then she slowly starts to take this fur coat off,
Speaker 1: discards it, drops it on the ground, and sure not as.
Speaker 2: It falls, you see her everything.
Speaker 1: But there is nothing to the imagination. There's so we say,
Speaker 1: a fashion statement. There wasn't a garment, No.
Speaker 2: It was it was a see through stocking, is the
Speaker 2: best way for me to describe it. But it was ridiculous.
Speaker 2: And so then they were nowhere to be found, and
Speaker 2: all of these rumors ensued that they had been They
Speaker 2: were not ever invited, which is insane because Kanye was
Speaker 2: actually nominated for a Grammy, so of course he was invited.
Speaker 2: But that rumor circulated. Then it was said that they
Speaker 2: were escorted out because of what the stunt that they pulled.
Speaker 2: None of that was true. I think they just and
Speaker 2: this was his first time attending the Grammys in ten years,
Speaker 2: I believe. But they came, walked the red carpet, took pictures,
Speaker 2: and then walked right back into their car and just left.
Speaker 2: So they did it by choice.
Speaker 1: Their point. Look, we know this. It's amazing. I don't
Speaker 1: trying to think. I don't think he won in the
Speaker 1: category he was. No, he didn't win tonight. So this
Speaker 1: is a guy who was nominated. I think in one category,
Speaker 1: I think Hendrick Klemar beat him out. Yes, and that
Speaker 1: in the rap duol, I think that's what or a
Speaker 1: rap performance. He shows up as one pre has pictures
Speaker 1: taken and they are the talk of the Grammys. And
Speaker 1: just if you haven't seen it, it is it's pretty shocking.
Speaker 1: We're used to seeing all kinds of wild things. It's
Speaker 1: certainly at the Grammys. She was naked.
Speaker 2: That was the most shocking thing I've ever seen on
Speaker 2: a red carpet. And then Kanye, by the way, he
Speaker 2: posted photos from the evening on his Instagram account, but
Speaker 2: then he deleted them. But before he deleted them, he
Speaker 2: captured one of the photos love stories. So who knows
Speaker 2: what's going on. But if they were seeking attention and
Speaker 2: they were seeking headlines, well they certainly.
Speaker 1: Got them, and they might get arrested.
Speaker 2: And I mean, seriously, there are people who say, I mean,
Speaker 2: she did break the law, because the law is basically,
Speaker 2: if you are showing your genitals and you are pushing
Speaker 2: it on people who don't want to see it, that
Speaker 2: is illegal. And that is exactly what she did. Wow,
Speaker 2: you could see her genitals.
Speaker 1: The other fashion statement of a different type, at least
Speaker 1: this is the only other fashion thing. I guess we'll
Speaker 1: talk about what we're talking about. Why did Will Smith's
Speaker 1: son show up with a castle on his head?
Speaker 2: There was something about it being about the new Dracula Transylvania.
Speaker 2: There was some sort of he's promoting some movie or something. Yes,
Speaker 2: but it was incredibly bizarre.
Speaker 1: There are other ways. Okay, fine, you know what, if
Speaker 1: he didn't have that on his head, he probably would
Speaker 1: not be in this Grammy's recap, right. So the point
Speaker 1: of doing something like that is to get people to
Speaker 1: talk about you, and now I know that he has
Speaker 1: a project out there. Okay, so that's the point. But folks,
Speaker 1: if you don't haven't seen this. When he is wearing
Speaker 1: a black tox and a black Fool, it looks like
Speaker 1: castle little Gray schul from when I was a kid playing.
Speaker 1: He man on his head with his head. No, no, not
Speaker 1: as a hat.
Speaker 2: He has a little cutout his face. He looks ridiculous.
Speaker 1: His head is in the castle, right.
Speaker 2: It wasn't just a hat. His head was poking out
Speaker 2: of it like he was his face. I don't even know,
Speaker 2: Like when you stick your head in one of those
Speaker 2: cardboard cutouts. That's what he had. It was ridiculous.
Speaker 1: And he was wearing it inside still during the show,
Speaker 1: not just red carpet. He was photographed like nobody can
Speaker 1: see the show if they're sitting behind him. I do
Speaker 1: huge care.
Speaker 2: I don't understand.
Speaker 1: So that was Okay, that's all the fashion at least
Speaker 1: we'll talk about for the night. But I guess the
Speaker 1: biggest one of the I guess sometimes artists. Yes, Beyonce
Speaker 1: won at the end of the night, but she's someone
Speaker 1: who is the all the nominations and whatnot. These are
Speaker 1: big stars in the industry, but then you have folks
Speaker 1: who are young, who are new, were so energetic and enthusiastic.
Speaker 1: And I think the rap performance that we saw doughhi.
Speaker 2: Oh, that was great.
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, the performance was great, But to hear her
Speaker 1: when she accepted her the acceptance speech for Best Rap.
Speaker 2: Album and she had her mom on stage with her,
Speaker 2: which was super cool.
Speaker 1: That was a fun moment. That was a special moment
Speaker 1: that you felt it wasn't just about the industry. It
Speaker 1: wasn't just about a superstars to somebody who has been
Speaker 1: grinding and getting this moment, and you feel their energy
Speaker 1: and passion and authenticity.
Speaker 2: I loved her tonight and I haven't listened to a
Speaker 2: lot of her music. Alligator Bites Never Heal was the
Speaker 2: album Rap Album of the Year, so I'm definitely going
Speaker 2: to check her out. But at first, I was just
Speaker 2: having some fun because she took some big fashion risks
Speaker 2: with her pants. She had the hoops in them. She
Speaker 2: had a real I don't think she thought she was
Speaker 2: gonna win, because I don't know if you would choose
Speaker 2: to walk up in those pants up those stairs to
Speaker 2: accept the awards. She was having a tough time fucking
Speaker 2: up to accept her award. She was kind of she
Speaker 2: was exactly, she was wild. But but then her speech
Speaker 2: and her mom it was great. But I just thought, wow,
Speaker 2: I don't know if she knew she was gonna win,
Speaker 2: if she would have chosen those pants. But I remember her,
Speaker 2: I remember what she wore, and it was amazing. Her
Speaker 2: performance was amazing.
Speaker 1: But hers was. And she pointed out this, she only her.
Speaker 1: It's Lauren Hill and Cardi B think, she said, with
Speaker 1: the only two women ever won.
Speaker 2: In there, and Cardi B actually so cute. She's the
Speaker 2: one who presented the award to her, which was perfect.
Speaker 1: And she's one of my favorites of all time as well.
Speaker 1: Sabrina Carpenter Best Pop Album Short and Sweet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, her performance though was a little like if she
Speaker 2: was trying to be funny. I don't know that it
Speaker 2: land what was the joke?
Speaker 1: I didn't actually just.
Speaker 2: Kept being funny during it, but like she was trying
Speaker 2: to be funny. But yeah, I mean she's cute, she's great.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was a big production her.
Speaker 2: It was a lot to a lot she worked and
Speaker 2: she put a lot of work into it.
Speaker 1: The Chapel Rome performance was a highlight that I wasn't expecting.
Speaker 1: I was late to the Chapel Rome party and I
Speaker 1: was only invited by my twelve year old daughter in
Speaker 1: al Sabine with the I never Get this the h
Speaker 1: O Hot to Go h O T t O g
Speaker 1: O that song.
Speaker 2: Got It Club, that's the one that Yeah, my daughter
Speaker 2: loves that song, so I've been listening to that for
Speaker 2: quite some time. No, she was amazing. Yeah, I want
Speaker 2: did she drop her Grammy? When she was giving her speech,
Speaker 2: she got all impassioned. I thought I saw it. Maybe
Speaker 2: she put it down deliberately, but it looked like maybe.
Speaker 1: She dropped She dropped the hat though, the.
Speaker 2: Hat, Oh yes, the hat fell off. And then Yeah,
Speaker 2: she was struggling a bit in her speech.
Speaker 1: But she had her books. She had a looked like
Speaker 1: a full notebook up there, and she was reading. And
Speaker 1: she made a plea to the academy to take better
Speaker 1: care of the young artists and make sure they get
Speaker 1: on healthcare. She specifically labels the industry. Yeah, so she
Speaker 1: had a point to make up there, but her performance
Speaker 1: was pretty incredible. That song, if you don't know it,
Speaker 1: it's just it no matter who you are. I mean,
Speaker 1: it just has good energy to it.
Speaker 2: I run to it. I love that song.
Speaker 1: But if you saw her performance, it added energy almost
Speaker 1: it gives you a visual to go with that song
Speaker 1: in a way. She was cool tonight. I really really
Speaker 1: became a bigger fan of hering that's cool.
Speaker 2: I think she's great, and she was nominated for everything tonight.
Speaker 2: I mean, she's up and comer for sure.
Speaker 1: And the first time we saw I guess, I guess
Speaker 1: we should say this part first, and a lot of
Speaker 1: people noticed it. Beyonce wasn't there at the beginning of
Speaker 1: the show, and I think, you know what, Trevor Noah
Speaker 1: made reference to it early on. That was almost uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: like we haven't seen her or don't know if she's
Speaker 1: gonna show up. It was almost uncomfortable, like he knew
Speaker 1: something or well.
Speaker 2: It was weird because everybody else was there and he
Speaker 2: was referencing people who were nominated. Obviously, Beyonce was the
Speaker 2: most nominated artist in the room and she wasn't there yet,
Speaker 2: so he was like, I swear she's coming, y'all. Well,
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess I can't promise she is, but
Speaker 2: oh no. He definitely seemed awkward and was trying to
Speaker 2: almost make an excuse for why she wasn't there yet.
Speaker 1: So the first time we ended up seeing her was
Speaker 1: when she ends up winning Best Country Album. She comes
Speaker 1: in just before the presenter came out to present that
Speaker 1: particular category, and then she goes up and that was
Speaker 1: her thing, and look it's.
Speaker 2: It was Taylor, right. Yeah, Taylor presented the award Taylor
Speaker 2: Sweat to Best to Best Country Music Artists, and they
Speaker 2: had that awkward little hug when she presented her the award,
Speaker 2: Taylor used.
Speaker 1: To Taylor, it was Taylor. She won that award as well. See.
Speaker 1: I didn't think much of the moment. I guess a
Speaker 1: lot of people are trying to read a lot into it.
Speaker 1: I didn't look at it.
Speaker 2: I loved at the end of to jump ahead with
Speaker 2: the Taylor moment. She like one of the last shots
Speaker 2: you saw of the Grammys was Taylor and jay Z
Speaker 2: clinking champagne glasses because Beyonce finally won Album of the Air. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there was some Tailor and Beyonce moments.
Speaker 1: See I didn't but again, I know people are talking
Speaker 1: about it. For me in the moment, I didn't think
Speaker 1: anything else, Oh I did. I did I didn't think
Speaker 1: anything else, but yes, she wins Best Country Album. I
Speaker 1: think maybe that was the one. People wouldn't be as surprised, but.
Speaker 2: She seemed surprised, and that surprised me because I just thought, really,
Speaker 2: you're surprised anyway.
Speaker 1: Did you like that they did? I can't remember them
Speaker 1: doing this in previous Grammys, but they streamed together several
Speaker 1: musical performances. You were telling me that some people were
Speaker 1: complaining about that online.
Speaker 2: Look, you and I were two hours into the show.
Speaker 2: Only four awards were announced. It's ten forty at night.
Speaker 2: Only five awards were announced. I mean, you know, I
Speaker 2: think people. Look, I haven't watched the Grammys in a
Speaker 2: very long time because normally I would never be up
Speaker 2: this late. But we're doing it for work. But I
Speaker 2: don't know if that's the way it always is, but
Speaker 2: I think I'm used to seeing a lot more awards.
Speaker 2: So it was I appreciated the performances. They were awesome,
Speaker 2: but you kind of start wondering, is this an award
Speaker 2: show or is this just a showcase?
Speaker 1: Seen You make a very good point. They hand out
Speaker 1: so many awards before the show, and look, folks, we
Speaker 1: are really talking this show didn't end until eleven fifty
Speaker 1: Eastern time. We're talking about almost a four hour show
Speaker 1: and eight awards were given out.
Speaker 2: That's insane.
Speaker 1: We're talking about two an hour is the average. Look.
Speaker 1: I like the performances. I love them, but you got
Speaker 1: big category like Best R and B.
Speaker 2: D like to have seen more people. I think it's sweet,
Speaker 2: and especially if you can keep the acceptance speeches to
Speaker 2: a minimum, maybe more people could be like Beyonce, who
Speaker 2: only when she got the award that she's been coveting
Speaker 2: and waiting for her entire life, she gave like a
Speaker 2: thirty second speech. I don't know why, but it was
Speaker 2: wildly It was so short.
Speaker 1: But I can't imagine that obviously they did this is
Speaker 1: the award of the night. They didn't say, hey, Beyonce,
Speaker 1: keep it short.
Speaker 2: I mean they were running late. But still, all these years,
Speaker 2: she finally gets that she would have savored it. That
Speaker 2: was a shocking thing for me.
Speaker 1: She didn't mention her, She didn't mention anybody and her
Speaker 1: family really.
Speaker 2: She I mean she said some things earlier when she
Speaker 2: accepted the country molto the first one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so she I don't need to say it again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess but still it was the big it
Speaker 2: was the big award. I don't know.
Speaker 1: And again, there's so much emphasis been put on this
Speaker 1: past fifteen twenty years. She's zero for four. I think
Speaker 1: before this she hasn't. She's been nominating this category, lost
Speaker 1: in heartbreaking fashion every time. Some albums that folks like
Speaker 1: this is definitely one hundred percent she has to win.
Speaker 1: She's lost to the likes of I mean, Harry Styles
Speaker 1: had a good album. Yeah, right, she's lost to some
Speaker 1: really big names. But yeah, she's finally got it. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it should have been more of a yeah something at
Speaker 1: the end.
Speaker 2: I was surprised. I thought she was going to have
Speaker 2: something prepared.
Speaker 1: I did notice tonight there was a lot of There
Speaker 1: was a lot of a lot of clothes ripping. Yes,
Speaker 1: going on tonight.
Speaker 2: A lot of people had clothes ripped off.
Speaker 1: That was okay, I have them here.
Speaker 2: Oh that was another moment that I loved the moon
Speaker 2: or Ben sim boone. I didn't love when he was
Speaker 2: wearing the blue seventies like whatever jumpsuit, but his vocals
Speaker 2: were incredible and the performance was amazing, beautiful things. Yes,
Speaker 2: so his clothes got ripped off, but he.
Speaker 1: I can't I know Heidi Klum was one on one side.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she had trouble with it. Oh yeah, I was like,
Speaker 2: whoa girl, you gotta get that. Yeah, she had a
Speaker 2: little trouble ripping.
Speaker 1: Really, you're trying to coach it, No, Heidi, this is
Speaker 1: how you're a man's clothes off. And you think she
Speaker 1: would know, Well, I don't know. Was she?
Speaker 2: I think so?
Speaker 1: But his performance was a little bizarre and that he
Speaker 1: just pulled a microphone out of his end pocket. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it came out of nowhere. And for folks who
Speaker 1: don't know, this is what he does. People were thrown
Speaker 1: by the fact he does He flipped. He was on
Speaker 1: top of the piano and does a full somersault off
Speaker 1: and lands. This is what he does. If you haven't
Speaker 1: seen him, he says his dad used to teach him
Speaker 1: this when he was a kid, and he's just a tumbler.
Speaker 1: He jumps. So anytime you see him perform, he does this.
Speaker 1: We've been lucky enough to see him what three times? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's actually and he does this, So that threw some people,
Speaker 1: but it is what he does best. New artists weird
Speaker 1: category there for a lot of people sometimes because the
Speaker 1: new artist is somebody sometimes who's been out for six years,
Speaker 1: but this time truly a new artist, chaperone much deserved
Speaker 1: and not much of a surprise. I guess this time around.
Speaker 2: Wait, who else ripped her clothes off? Oh yeah, you
Speaker 2: want to go back to that Janelle Monnet?
Speaker 1: Did she know? Carpenter? Did it?
Speaker 2: Sabrina Carpenter herlo and best.
Speaker 1: Rap album that performance she replays off?
Speaker 2: Oh right, Jochi, she ripped hers off too, because she
Speaker 2: had on that like gray school girl kind of a
Speaker 2: thing and she.
Speaker 1: Went down to like a white forty sports.
Speaker 2: A lot of a lot of women wearing like basically
Speaker 2: almost like a bikini like outfits.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw that too, like underwear but like stylish
Speaker 2: and somehow now Grammy worthy. But yeah, I saw a
Speaker 2: lot of that too.
Speaker 1: You mentioned Lady Gaga earlier, but those two, it was amazing.
Speaker 1: The California dreaming that they performed together was just.
Speaker 2: And then Died with the Smile one, which I just
Speaker 2: that is that is my favorite. Yeah, so that's the
Speaker 2: best pop duo group performance was Die with a Smile
Speaker 2: And I have that song on repeat. It's it's ridiculous
Speaker 2: how much I listened to that song.
Speaker 1: Those two are I mean, how could they not make magic?
Speaker 1: They're just so wildly talented. But that and I liked
Speaker 1: a man. I love what Bruno was wearing tonight, actually
Speaker 1: doing that California dreaming.
Speaker 2: He's a performer. Oh, we didn't talk about the weekend.
Speaker 2: He had been boycotting the Grammys the time. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: for a while, but it worked out well for him
Speaker 2: with the timing of this new album. And I think
Speaker 2: he had a commercial in one of the breaks.
Speaker 1: And good time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, calling a truce getting to perform. The Grammys president
Speaker 2: gets to say, hey, I hope this works for you.
Speaker 2: We've made some changes and now you're back. And so yeah,
Speaker 2: that was quite the the wonderful way to promote a
Speaker 2: new album.
Speaker 1: But the song cry for Me and I don't know
Speaker 1: if you, yeah, but I'm starting to listen to the
Speaker 1: new album. But uh, it's what you expect from him,
Speaker 1: which is good stuff. But I liked his performance. I
Speaker 1: think the it was good.
Speaker 2: I thought it was really good.
Speaker 1: Shakira was up. She got this was the fifth award
Speaker 1: of the night. It was the Best Latin Album and
Speaker 1: that went to Kira. Now this wasn't a big night.
Speaker 1: Oftentimes we see a lot of political statements made. Not
Speaker 1: on this night. Really, we only saw kind of two
Speaker 1: anything that got close to anything related to politics, and
Speaker 1: Shakira was one. She just only made a statement about
Speaker 1: dedicating this to my immigrant brothers and sisters here in
Speaker 1: this country. She didn't go much farther than that, but
Speaker 1: she set her piece and kind of kept it moving.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Trevor Noah was the only one who even made
Speaker 2: a reference earlier, and then I saying that lucky for
Speaker 2: him he got to do this now because maybe next
Speaker 2: year he wouldn't be able to do the job.
Speaker 1: Yes, which was funny. Yes, the the what a lot
Speaker 1: of folks are waiting for for the night. Of course,
Speaker 1: Quincy Jones. I don't think anybody in that room now,
Speaker 1: anybody breathing right now, you have had been impacted in
Speaker 1: some way by Quincy Jones. You've loved something he had
Speaker 1: a hand in. Music wise, So that group rolls. What
Speaker 1: do we have here? We had Stevie Wonder and Cynthia Rivo.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, amazing that a highlight.
Speaker 2: Her voice is ridiculous, It was so so so good.
Speaker 2: I was blown away by her.
Speaker 1: So she did that, so, you know, I thought it
Speaker 1: was cool that they did. Will Smith kind of hosted
Speaker 1: the tribute if you will. He came out, he kind
Speaker 1: of told little stories, introduced Herbie Hancock and Cynthia Rivo
Speaker 1: who performed together. What did they do? They did the
Speaker 1: Frank Sinatra one fly Me to the Move.
Speaker 2: Yes, so good.
Speaker 1: And then Landy Wilson came out and performed. And then
Speaker 1: after that it was Stevie and Herbie Hancock and just
Speaker 1: see those two guys sitting next to each other. It
Speaker 1: was remble on stage and Stevie kind of talked us
Speaker 1: through it. He told little stories. He told about his
Speaker 1: love for Quincy. It was just kind of cool.
Speaker 2: And Rea.
Speaker 1: And then we are the World.
Speaker 2: You know, I love that song, and yeah, that was
Speaker 2: so well done. And then we saw Jenelle Monet. She
Speaker 2: wrapped up the Quincy Jones tribute with Michael Jackson performance.
Speaker 2: I thought she had his moves down pretty well.
Speaker 1: She is such I just she's adormal. She can be
Speaker 1: such a performer. I love watching her and I was
Speaker 1: it is a little confusing. I was asking you about
Speaker 1: this before we actually hit record for this episode, was
Speaker 1: how is it possible the Beatles just won Yeah, a Grammy,
Speaker 1: So they won tonight for Best Rock Performance, I believe
Speaker 1: is the category. I have it right for a song
Speaker 1: now and then, and this is a song yes by
Speaker 1: the Beatles that was released last year that just won
Speaker 1: a Grammy. Please explain why. So.
Speaker 2: Obviously, John Lennon is no longer with us and hasn't
Speaker 2: been with us for a while, but they were able
Speaker 2: to Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, who are still with us.
Speaker 2: They actually were able to take an original demo that
Speaker 2: John Lennon had recorded from the nineteen seventies, and then
Speaker 2: the other three Beatle members contributed to it, and then
Speaker 2: they used AI to help clean up Lenin's vocals, and
Speaker 2: that was a technology that just now is available, so
Speaker 2: that they were able to make this song with Lenin's voice,
Speaker 2: with their editions. It's remarkable, and Yeah, they won. They
Speaker 2: want to Grammy for it. That's pretty cool. That's really cool.
Speaker 1: What do we do with it? Like, I mean, there
Speaker 1: are some implications and questions to be asked later about that,
Speaker 1: but the fact that the song that old can be released.
Speaker 2: That was recorded fifty years ago, but they were able
Speaker 2: to engineer it so that it could be released today and.
Speaker 1: Win a Grammy. Boy, it is pretty cool, pretty remarkable.
Speaker 1: You mentioned the die with a smile. They won for
Speaker 1: best That was the only other. I only mentioning that
Speaker 1: now because that was the only other political statement made
Speaker 1: of the night. I would say was Lady Gagat in
Speaker 1: their acceptance, Oh yeah, speaking to trans people are not invisible.
Speaker 1: And she made a few comments there. But it we
Speaker 1: come to expect a few statements to be made, and.
Speaker 2: There were fewer than I would have expected. I would
Speaker 2: have thought. But perhaps given that the night was about
Speaker 2: unifying the country and helping LA, they knew. I think
Speaker 2: artists knew and know that if they make political comments,
Speaker 2: it's divisive and people turn it off. And that wasn't
Speaker 2: the point of the night. The point of the night
Speaker 2: was to support LA, you.
Speaker 1: Know, and you're going to have to help me here.
Speaker 1: I said there were only two political statements. There was
Speaker 1: a third. I don't remember who said it. DEI is
Speaker 1: not a threat, it's a gift. Who said that?
Speaker 2: Oh, I have this written? Alicia Keys did Alisia Keys?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: Alicia Keys got the Doctor Dre Impact Award, and she
Speaker 2: said DEI is not a threat. It's a gift. Yes.
Speaker 2: So there were a few moments, but very few and
Speaker 2: far between, given what we typically would see on an
Speaker 2: evening like this in the political climate that we're in.
Speaker 1: And not long statements either. Were used to seeing kind
Speaker 1: of speeches to a certain degree. But it wasn't that
Speaker 1: deal tonight, the big story you talked about that this
Speaker 1: was a big deal. I'm just a fan. I've been
Speaker 1: a fan for a long time with Kendrick Lamar and
Speaker 1: he was not need of a five Grammys tonight having
Speaker 1: to do with the song that you all know and
Speaker 1: likely love. Not like us, the brother went five for five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I swept the Grammys tonight with that one song that
Speaker 1: ended the most epic rap battle in the history of
Speaker 1: rap battle.
Speaker 2: And I'm so slow or maybe I'm just tired, but
Speaker 2: I loved that. Uh. I don't know if it's his
Speaker 2: producer who was standing behind him said somebody get a broom,
Speaker 2: and I was like, why should somebody get a broom?
Speaker 2: And you turned to me said because he swept. It
Speaker 2: was a clean sweep.
Speaker 1: This is you know, this is Tonight was the first
Speaker 1: night that I had a moment of I just wanted
Speaker 1: to embrace Drake. That's tough. You lost the battle, that's
Speaker 1: one thing. But now the song that calls you a
Speaker 1: pedophile has won five Grammy.
Speaker 2: Awards, and everyone in that audience and they're the best
Speaker 2: in the business. We're singing along as he was coming up,
Speaker 2: saying a minor. You can hear it in all in
Speaker 2: all of the different videos that are out there, that
Speaker 2: everybody was singing.
Speaker 1: Why did they have to queue it up there?
Speaker 2: Right there?
Speaker 1: He got out. He was walking up and that's sure enough.
Speaker 1: If he would have walked a little faster or even
Speaker 1: I don't know, but sure enough he I mean, it's
Speaker 1: almost timed perfectly. He's walking almost when his foot gets
Speaker 1: to the last step to get to the top of
Speaker 1: the stage, the part of the song comes on and
Speaker 1: the I'm talking Taylor Swift, we talking Billie Eilish, were
Speaker 1: talking a big star. The whole crowd, the whole crowd
Speaker 1: is singing a lyric that is calling Drake a pedophile.
Speaker 1: Tried to strike a chord and it's probably a mine.
Speaker 1: The whole place lights out.
Speaker 2: It's fun to say, it's fun to sing.
Speaker 1: But after all that and how big that song was,
Speaker 1: and here's a weird thing. This is just the start,
Speaker 1: because in a week he's going to be at the Super.
Speaker 2: Bowl singing the same song.
Speaker 1: And one hundred and ten twenty million people are going
Speaker 1: to hear him singing about Yeah Drake being a pedophile.
Speaker 2: It's not over.
Speaker 1: It's not over yet. The last I think that was
Speaker 1: the perfect way to end it tonight. With the album
Speaker 1: of the Year. You're wondering who it's always a big
Speaker 1: star that hands out the biggest award of the night.
Speaker 1: And for them to kind of unveil the members of
Speaker 1: the La County Fire Department. How many would you say,
Speaker 1: we're up there. I don't know, twenty maybe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably twenty, like less than two dozen. But it
Speaker 2: was pretty cool because when the La Fire Department got
Speaker 2: to say what they wanted to say, read their statement,
Speaker 2: then they got a standing ovation, which was really really cool.
Speaker 2: And I just thought how awesome it was for them
Speaker 2: to be able to announce album of the Year, to
Speaker 2: open it up and say the name. It was fun
Speaker 2: and for it to be Cowboy Carter, for it to
Speaker 2: be Beyonce after all that it was it was the
Speaker 2: perfect way to end the night. The only thing was
Speaker 2: I just I thought Beyonce was gonna have this speech.
Speaker 2: Blue Iby came up with her, which was pretty cool.
Speaker 2: I saw that, but yeah, I just it was interesting.
Speaker 2: But congratulations to her. She finally Maybe it's sometimes that
Speaker 2: thing when you're waiting for it, you're waiting for it,
Speaker 2: and by the time you get it, you're like, eh,
Speaker 2: it's too late, like kind of like, okay, I guess thanks,
Speaker 2: like I should have gotten this like a decade ago,
Speaker 2: but okay, thanks, Okay. I kind of feel like, okay.
Speaker 1: You know what, that actually makes more sense to me
Speaker 1: than anything else I've heard tonight as far as an
Speaker 1: explanation for it, Okay, fine, I just do not think
Speaker 1: there's no way they told her to hurry. They did
Speaker 1: not tell Beyonce Noel's carter to hurry up with this.
Speaker 1: We gotta get going, right.
Speaker 2: Like you got to keep this under one minute because
Speaker 2: we got to get to the local stations.
Speaker 1: Or maybe you know what, Beyonce was tired because she
Speaker 1: was hungry. Let's get the hell out of here. I
Speaker 1: got enough of these at home.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, but she got the one she wanted.
Speaker 1: Uh but what an eight folks? If you didn't get
Speaker 1: to see it all. I hope we caught you up
Speaker 1: pretty well. But the pictures from uh from the Red
Speaker 1: Carpet and Kanye definitely got to check those. You have
Speaker 1: got to see what that was all about. But Kendrick
Speaker 1: is just getting started. Beyonce find the Guy, which she wanted.
Speaker 2: You know what.
Speaker 1: Shaboozy, Yeah, shocked that song. I think I have it
Speaker 1: right one nothing.
Speaker 2: I don't think it did either, but I mean I'll
Speaker 2: still be playing it on repeat.
Speaker 1: That makes that is unfamable.
Speaker 2: Only say that that song was up against so many
Speaker 2: other songs that we were playing over and over that
Speaker 2: are so phenomenal. So it's just I feel like it
Speaker 2: was a really tough year.
Speaker 1: You know what, did Espresso? It did win?
Speaker 2: Us?
Speaker 1: Did it win specifically? I'm struggling with that.
Speaker 2: The problem is unless you go online and have to
Speaker 2: look it up because if you're watching the award show,
Speaker 2: which is so weird because if it's an award show,
Speaker 2: I feel like that's where I should have seen the awards.
Speaker 2: So I can only tell you what those eight awards were, babe,
Speaker 2: because otherwise I have to go online and look because
Speaker 2: the award show didn't have the awards on them, so wow,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be able to tell you Google Espresso.
Speaker 1: I okay, she got Best Pop Solo Performance. It did
Speaker 1: win for Best Pop Solo Performance, so Espresso did win.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just a bummer because she didn't get You know,
Speaker 2: when you don't have the awards on, people don't get
Speaker 2: to go up and say thanks, and you don't really
Speaker 2: get the feeling of winning an award.
Speaker 1: But I was really surprised that song sheould but that's
Speaker 1: a record setting song. Yeah, it did not win. It
Speaker 1: was beat out by Chris Stapleton one category, and I
Speaker 1: can't remember who the I think Casey, that's yeah, another
Speaker 1: shot a whiskey.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: Okay, So folks, hope we get you caught up if
Speaker 1: you didn't get a chance to stay up late and
Speaker 1: check it out like we did. So we did it
Speaker 1: for you. Y'all should see Robes right now.
Speaker 2: She can take a nap tomorrow afternoon. I'm already planning
Speaker 2: my nap tomorrow.
Speaker 1: She can't keep her eyes open. I want to keep
Speaker 1: the podcast going just to mess with it. But now
Speaker 1: that's it. Folks appreciate just always hanging out with us.
Speaker 1: We will see y'all soon, whether that's on the morning
Speaker 1: run wherever it may be, you'll have all right.
