00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 13: You know you've told every story that probably that could

162
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 13: be told about you.

163
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 12: But I have one that I don't think anyone knows.

164
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 13: And it's about Dawn coming home from school one day

165
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 13: while she was in grade school asking me, Mommy, I

166
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:31,239
Speaker 13: want you to have a baby, and I told her, oh, sure, okay,

167
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 13: I said, God will have to give it to me.

168
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 13: So I proceeded to try to have to get pregnant,

169
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 13: and in the process of doing that, nothing happened. Each

170
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 13: month I would be disappointed. So I guess six or

171
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 13: seven months went by and she said, Mommy, is God

172
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 13: mad at you? I forgot I had told don this,

173
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 13: and I said no, I don't think so why she said,

174
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 13: because you said babies come from God, and you don't.

175
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 13: You're not having a baby.

176
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 11: So I then.

177
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 12: Thought, okay, I have to go.

178
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 13: About this different. I went to the doctor, got examined,

179
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 13: and you went through the whole everything, the whole gamut.

180
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 13: And the doctor told me, look, you're fine, You're healthy.

181
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 12: You can get pregnant.

182
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 13: And on my way home, I thought, God, I want

183
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 13: a son so bad. And I thought, I'm not gonna

184
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 13: tell anyone about it. I'm just gonna keep praying and

185
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 13: asking for her son. And I did get pregnant, and

186
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 13: I was so happy. I mean I think I started.

187
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 12: Wearing maternity clothes two months, three months. I was just

188
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 12: happy to be pregnant. And I went to Lama's classes.

189
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 13: You know, I'm gonna have the natural childbirth, and I

190
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 13: want everything to be right.

191
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 12: And so the day came when it was time for

192
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 12: me to go.

193
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 13: To the hospital, January twentieth, and I got to the

194
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 13: hospital and I was in.

195
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 12: The room and they wanted to give me, you.

196
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 13: Know, we wanted to give you some pain. No, I said, no,

197
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 13: get I'm taking nothing. I want my child to come in.

198
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 13: And I didn't know if it was male or female.

199
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 13: I just knew that I was praying for.

200
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 5: A male.

201
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 12: And I said, no, I am, I'm not taking anything.

202
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 13: I want my child to come into this world with

203
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 13: a clear head and not have any kind of medication

204
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 13: going through it. So at the same time, this young

00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 13: doctor walked into the room and in his name was

00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 16: Of course, at one year old, my brother's first words

00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 16: were Mama, dad, motherfucker.

272
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 17: My adorable baby brother. Amir colleb Thompson, The circumstances. Our

273
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 17: parents were newly signed to a major label and they

274
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 17: were on tour that year, so my brother, Amir and

275
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 17: I spent time with relatives in La.

276
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 5: We had a cousin.

277
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,719
Speaker 17: Who lived in Compton who with sometimes baby sit us,

278
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 17: come pick us up and drive us to hang out

279
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 17: with his friends. He was a crip okay, So basically

280
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 17: my brother got the full immersion and I became low

281
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 17: key fluent in the art of cousin at once. So

282
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 17: imagine months later, the tour is over and we're reunited

283
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 17: with our parents and at hello, Amir very casually unleashes

284
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 17: a garden variety of profanity, a whirlwind avarage of obscenity.

285
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, my mom was mortified.

286
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 17: Me on the other hand, and I'm nine, He's won,

287
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 17: And from my perspective, it was it was magical. This

288
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 17: was wonderment.

289
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 3: That's what it was like for me.

290
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 17: I was like, look at him, go you know, it

291
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,440

296
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 17: and it passes, and it did. Growing up with the mirror,

297
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 17: growing up with you a mirror was an adventure. It

298
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 17: was otherworldly. It was black, lindsay, it was a gift.

299

00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 8: Like wow, the original like Monster Cody, the first generation

316
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 8: moneah Ogs.

317
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were those.

318
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 2: Your family stay loyal because the sample does your dad

319
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 2: and your mom is the Snoop Johns, and they stay

320
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 2: like crip loyal. So I'm not gonna make you say

321
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: too much to stay in your childhood. But I do

322
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 2: have one more that's a little shorter that I know

323
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 2: is going to be a super duper surprised, and I

324
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 2: think that y'all will all be surprised by. And here we.

325
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 18: Go, Happy birthday, on Mere. I'm going to take you

326
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 18: back just about forty five years ago when we first

327
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 18: and that was when your parents, Jackie and Lee, brought

328
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 18: you to the Performing Arts School of Philadelphia for an

329
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 18: interview and to enroll you in the elementary school program.

330
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 18: Your parents, of course, both being professional performers, decided that

331
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 18: an education that included the arts was the place for you.

332
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 18: And I was doing double duty getting a degree in

333
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 18: dance but also serving as the classroom teacher for a

334
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 18: group of about twelve elementary school children, and the director

335
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,479
Speaker 18: of the school, doctor nage and Ahmik, asked me to

336
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 18: interview you to assess your potential for joining the group

337
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 18: as a kindergarten student. Well, you walked into the interview

338
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 18: with your very remarkable afro and just as remarkable smile.

339
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 18: We had a great chat, as I remember, and at

340
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,479
Speaker 18: the end of it, I asked, I'm here, what do

341
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 18: you want to do and what do you want to

342
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 18: be when you grow up? You said, oh, Pearl, I'm

343
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 18: going to be a drummer. I then asked you if

344
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 18: perhaps you wanted to study an additional instrument like the

345
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 18: piano or violin, just in case, and you said, very indignantly, no, Pearl,

346
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 18: I am going to be a drummer, and a very

347
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 18: famous drummer. What was so astounding was the clarity and

348
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 18: intensity with which you knew, at such a tender age

349
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 18: exactly who and what you were to become. And of

350
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 18: course the rest is history. Fast forward to a couple

351
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 18: of years ago, when I had the pleasure of watching

352
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 18: you perform live at the Tonight show fulfilling the prophecy

353
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 18: of that four and a half year old not only

354
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 18: to become a drummer, but a very famous one. Happy birthday,

355
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 18: I'm here and thank you so much for the privilege

356
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 18: of teaching you so many years ago.

357
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 8: Oh man, give me man, Wow. Yeah, she was the

358
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 8: teacher that she's the one that started. If you want

359
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 8: to know the seeds of my liner note book writing history,

360
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 8: that's where it starts. Like my first homework assignment, Songs

361
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 8: in the Key of Life just came out the week

362
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 8: of the first day of school, and so, oh wow,

363
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 8: that was our homework. We had to all purchase songs

364
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 8: in the Key of Life. And of course if you

365
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 8: brought the album, there's a booklet inside there's thirty pages

366
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 8: of everything. So you know, in that class, I learned

367
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 8: what an orchestra section was, I learned what thank you

368
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 8: notes were, and I beg that that was the book

369
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 8: I was obsessed with. And then you know that that

370
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 8: planet the seeds of my liner note addiction writing. Shout

371
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 8: out to miss Schaffer. Wow, but I mean this is emotional.

372
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 8: Why am I crying? As question virtual zoom and I'm

373
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 8: a podcast I know. Yeah, man, Wow, that's really beautiful.

374
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 8: I'm not even y'all broke me down. I'm not even

375
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 8: ashamed to take these flowers. I didn't think it would

376
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 8: go this day.

377
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 3: I loved this flower, taking mantra so into it. Yeah,

378
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 3: four flowers, let's go whole. God damn garden.

379
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 2: I feel like I should break up. Like the sadness

380
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 2: of it is, this, is it getting? Is it getting

Speaker 8: late thing. I was late to to the uh the retreat.

409
00:26:55,200 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 3: Jeff. Jeff has his annual playlist plays playlist Treat Delaware,

410
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 3: right in Delaware.

411
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 8: So we were done shooting Fall and we rushed down

412
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 8: ninety five to Delaware. And I got there and you know,

413
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 8: there was a taco truck. So I was hungry. So

414
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 8: I had a taco. Then I had two tacos. All

415
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 8: this Mexican corn. I'm grubbing it up, and not once

416
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 8: did anyone tell me that it was infused taco with

417
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 8: like at least it had to be in like three

418
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 8: hundred four hundred megagrams of weed in it. I didn't

419
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 8: even know.

420
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 2: People, you know a Mere. It's funny you say that.

421
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 2: I think you are cuing my next video, because you know,

422
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 2: of course, the assignment was to ask folks, you know,

423
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 2: their favorite of mirror story, and there are some really

424
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 2: interesting parallels with your fellow roots mate, stro. I would

425
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 2: just like to play.

426
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 20: Your birthday brother, Mirr. I know everybody else probably has

427
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 20: crazy story and stories and drugs because they've known you longer,

428
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 20: but that doesn't mean that I don't at least have one,

429
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 20: which was I remember specifically we caught you were so

430
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 20: gracious to book a car for us to go down

431
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 20: to Jazzy Jeff's.

432
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 5: Playlist retreat right after a gig.

433
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 20: We went down there, there was food, there was music,

434
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 20: There were some things in the food. You didn't realize

435
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 20: that until it was too late, And that lasted till

436
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 20: the following day at work, in which we showed up

437
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 20: and everything seemed fine, except for the fact that we

438
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 20: were running through the sandwiches and walk ons and stuff

439
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 20: that we normally play. And some of these walk ons

440
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 20: and these sandwiches were very chopped and screwed.

441
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 5: Some of them were very.

442
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 20: Kanye, all very different tempos in which we normally in

443
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 20: comparison what you normally play them. But the funniest moment

444
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 20: happened on air while taping, and I had this footage

445
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 20: in my phone, and I'm so mad that it's not

446
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 20: in my phone anymore, because I never deleted anything.

447
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 5: Jimmy asked you a question.

448
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 20: On the air, and you gave the dumbest response only man,

449
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 20: which was huh, super funny. I probably last internally for

450
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 20: the rest of the episode because I knew what that

451
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 20: response was. Jimmy probably knew what that response was, and

452
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 20: he moved on very quickly.

453
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 3: But I never forgot it. Birthday, Bro?

454
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 4: Why does he look and sound like he's in Soul

455
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 4: the movie?

456
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:34,959
Speaker 3: Right right?

457
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 21: Is that just me?

458
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 3: Like he'd sounds like he like what.

459
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 4: Does he play the saxophone on the street corner?

460
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

461
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 8: It stows right like it it not. It knocked me

462
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 8: out at Jeff's. But the thing was, I immediately went

463
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 8: to sleep, and then I got in the car and

464
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 8: slept in the car. The thing is is that when

465
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 8: you do that, you the rest of my bod like

466
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 8: you know, obviously I was still huh and so when

467
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 8: I started drumming, immediately it kicked in. When I started drumming,

468
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 8: and yeah, that was the highest ever, one of the

469
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:13,479
Speaker 8: highest I ever.

470

Speaker 23: that we were in Amsterdam. Oh yeah, stay in Amsterdam.

488
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 23: But it was the first thing that came to my

489
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 23: mind when you know, this was asking me to give

490
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 23: a story. So I remember sitting in a coffee shop

491
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 23: and you know, having good times like we used to

492
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 23: do back when we used to travel, you know, back

493
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 23: in the day, and we go to get something to

494
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 23: eat after because you know, that's what you do after

495
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,040

Speaker 3: So we go get something to eat.

498
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 23: But in this place that we were eating, they offered,

499

530
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 23: A big giant dude with an afro, you know, out

531
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 23: of control and running from Mickey Mouse in the streets.

Speaker 8: off of the edibles off edible now the craziest thing.

535
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 8: But the craziest thing was we also saw Keith sweat and.

536
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 3: Silk walking around.

537
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 2: Exactly mir No.

538
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 8: I mean when they were chasing me, when I was like,

539
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 8: I gotta get out there, I gotta get out of here,

540
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 8: and I was like brisk walking.

541
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 3: The thing was is that it's funny.

542
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 8: I had one of the moments where I had one

543
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 8: of the moments where I think, that's the first time

544
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 8: that like subconsciously I was like, oh man, like in retrospect,

545
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:47,959
Speaker 8: that was one of the first times I.

546
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 3: Was like, wow, really does care about me.

547
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 8: Because the thing is is that the thing is that

548
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 8: you got to realize is that when you're walking in Amsterdam,

549
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 8: there's these long what do you call it, where the

550
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 8: boats are and whatnot, and they don't have like guards

551
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 8: in them. You know what I mean, and the like

552
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 8: if you fall town, yeah, you fall into the canal.

553
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 8: That shit could be like one hundred feet you know

554
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 8: what I'm saying. So I definitely remembered like walking so

555
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 8: out of control that tik Ambridge felt the need to

556
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 8: stand on my right side to prevent me from falling

557
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 8: into the canal.

558
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:32,320

671
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:25,600

00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 8: we did the uh the Move episode, the Michael Africa episode,

673
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 8: when I talked about the first time that we met

674
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 8: Ramona Africa, because actually the night before one of the

675
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 8: funnest nights of my life pre pre roots with Tarik

676
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:54,760
Speaker 8: was his prom night. Because Tarik was two years younger

677
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,840
Speaker 8: than me, so his prom night he graduated in nineteen

678
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,320
Speaker 8: ninety one, it was kind of like, actually, Tarika was

679
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 8: on that alex vanderpool before Boys to Men, So he

680
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 8: was going he went to his prom and like this

681
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 8: really dope short set thing like it was a suit

682
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 8: but it was shorts, and the school had kicked him

683
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 8: out because they just didn't understand like the joint was.

684
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 3: It was fresh.

685
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 8: I mean, he just had shorts on and he he

686
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 8: was Alexander pulled up, but he still had a suit

687
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 8: on and they kicked him out. But the thing was

688
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 8: was that his grandmam ordered the limo and we trust me,

689
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 8: we laughed about this. The limo that she ordered was

690
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 8: the heart that we unfortunately had to bury his mom

691
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 8: and like maybe, oh my god.

Speaker 27: as a person with pimples and told to drink more water. Again,

732
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 27: I'm driving you somewhere, so I think you thought you

733
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:06,840
Speaker 27: had to like just make some small talk, and you

734
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 27: just kept saying, and you know, if you drink more water?

735
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 27: You ever tried drinking more water? And that's what real

736
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:14,919
Speaker 27: friends do. They tell real friends. You know, your face

737
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 27: is fucked. Thank you, I drink water.

738
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 7: I look at me now, it's like this is a filter.

739
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 27: But anyway, I'm so happy that my mom made me

740
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 27: telemarket when I was fifteen so that I could meet

741
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:29,480

742
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 3: I love you, man. Drink more water, everybody, you know

743
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 3: what's about.

744
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 8: And the story that she could have told that was

745
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 8: hilarious was that when I asked for a phone number

746
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 8: at our at ORAE that insurance job, she didn't give me.

747
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 3: The last two numbers, So my.

748
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:56,760
Speaker 8: Dumb ass had to yes, figurat to at home doing

749
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:58,280
Speaker 8: every comedy.

750
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 2: One, two, two, two, three, four, five six six six.

751
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,439
Speaker 8: Oh my god, her last two digits was sixty five,

752
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 8: So I think, like, I think, maybe ten. I would

753
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 8: attempt ten times a day until I got it finally,

754
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 8: like four days later, I.

755
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 3: Got the the the way, Yes, that's.

756
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 4: That's I finally guess the last two digits.

757
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 8: But wait, no, there's another hilarious a movement that I

758
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 8: don't think the Oka player world knows about, which was

759
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:31,839
Speaker 8: the night we went out to a celebratory meal when

760
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,280
Speaker 8: we launched the site in nineteen ninety eight.

761
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 28: And.

762
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 8: Both of us, I think both of us got food poisoning.

763
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 8: So if you if you remember the movie Stamp by Me,

764
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 8: then we're in Angie's car right and I'm feeling ill

765
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 8: and I feel like, okay, I think I might have

766
00:47:59,400 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 8: to throw up.

767
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 3: So we're at a red light.

768
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 8: We're in Philadelphia, so we're at like we're on I

769
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,399
Speaker 8: think we're driving towards my house, so I think we're

770
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:15,800
Speaker 8: on Pine Street. We're maybe like on eleventh and Pine.

771
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 8: And I can't take it no more, so I say

772
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 8: look and just pull over. I open up the car

773
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 8: door and I run right to the corner and I

774
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 8: just start hurling. So I get back in the car.

775
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 8: And then I think seeing me do that made her

776
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 8: want to do that. So then she had a reaction.

777
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 8: She stops the car, gets out and starts throwing up,

778
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 8: and then me seeing her throwing up, makes me then

779
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 8: get out the car and starting So we now have

780
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 8: just a circle of circle duke, and so mid throw up.

781
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 8: Now again, she's not even double park like the car

1245
01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:26,040
Speaker 8: want to make my mom think that her old car,

1246
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:30,960
Speaker 8: her broken down car, was stolen. And then Blama is

1247
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:35,519
Speaker 8: surprised with the new car. So basically, Myhershela, I somehow

1248
01:15:35,560 --> 01:15:37,760
Speaker 8: got the keys from my from my mom, gave it

1249
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:41,200
Speaker 8: to Myharsala and he's the one that took my mom's car,

1250
01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:43,240
Speaker 8: parked it like way around the corner. So we went

1251
01:15:43,320 --> 01:15:45,800
Speaker 8: to the movies and then get out the movies and

1252
01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:49,080
Speaker 8: then you know, the car's missing, and my Mom's like

1253
01:15:49,120 --> 01:15:53,280
Speaker 8: all devastated. And then six minutes later before like we

1254
01:15:53,360 --> 01:15:55,120
Speaker 8: bring the cops and said, no, I gotta tell the cops.

1255
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:56,280
Speaker 3: Oh no, Mom, no, no no.

1256
01:15:56,479 --> 01:16:03,880
Speaker 8: And then suddenly the shiny new bug is right there,

1257
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:06,920
Speaker 8: and I'm like Mary Christmas man this this year, this

1258
01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:08,599
Speaker 8: is like the first gift I've ever given her.

1259
01:16:09,160 --> 01:16:14,840
Speaker 2: So because again Mherschel, they told their story in a

1260
01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:16,880
Speaker 2: minute and twenty and it was two of them.

1261
01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:25,479
Speaker 3: That was just does not act.

1262
01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:28,760
Speaker 2: Okay. So before we get out of it, before we

1263
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:30,880
Speaker 2: before we finished with all the guests, I got to

1264
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:33,080
Speaker 2: just two more left, two more left that I want

1265
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:37,439
Speaker 2: to run past you. And the next one, Emir, I

1266
01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:39,360
Speaker 2: want you to listen closely to his story. I actually

1267
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:42,519
Speaker 2: sent this to Fontaine ahead of time because it actually

1268
01:16:42,720 --> 01:16:45,679
Speaker 2: answers a lot of questions about the way you acted

1269
01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:48,840
Speaker 2: when we went and visited this person and interviewed them

1270
01:16:49,240 --> 01:16:53,240
Speaker 2: for QLs. Bill and Steve. Y'all will get it once

1271
01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:56,080
Speaker 2: I hit play. Did y'all too remember how Amir was

1272
01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:58,759
Speaker 2: acting when we went to LA to interview this person.

1273
01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:02,720
Speaker 36: Hey, baby face, here, I want to give you a

1274
01:17:02,760 --> 01:17:05,600
Speaker 36: special shout out for your fiftieth birthday. And I know

1275
01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:08,320
Speaker 36: we're supposed to tell a special story. So here's the

1276
01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:11,600
Speaker 36: story I want to tell. Years ago, when I met you,

1277
01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:15,759
Speaker 36: we met through a mutual friend of ours, Chloe Flower.

1278
01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:17,960
Speaker 12: She was here working at the studio.

1279
01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:20,760
Speaker 36: And she told me that you were coming by and

1280
01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:23,479
Speaker 36: she told me that you were the biggest fan of mine.

1281
01:17:23,560 --> 01:17:25,639
Speaker 3: You were a huge fan. You knew everything, You knew

1282
01:17:25,680 --> 01:17:27,680
Speaker 3: everything about me, and you would love me.

1283
01:17:27,760 --> 01:17:30,960
Speaker 36: And you see, he loves you, and so I said,

1284
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:33,200
Speaker 36: well that's great because I'm a big fan of his too,

1285
01:17:33,320 --> 01:17:35,479
Speaker 36: So you know, I want to meet him, tell him

1286
01:17:35,479 --> 01:17:37,439
Speaker 36: come in the studio. She said, nah, he's just gonna

1287
01:17:37,439 --> 01:17:39,960
Speaker 36: stop at the corner and pick me up. So I

1288
01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:42,400
Speaker 36: walked down to the corner to the gas station to

1289
01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:46,120
Speaker 36: meet you, and so Chloy gets in the car and

1290
01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:48,080
Speaker 36: I looked at it and say, oh my god, I

1291
01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:49,360
Speaker 36: look look at that's quest Love.

1292
01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:50,120
Speaker 3: That's quest Love.

1293
01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 7: And you look at me and you go like, what's

1294
01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:54,920
Speaker 7: up whatever.

1295
01:17:55,920 --> 01:18:00,120
Speaker 36: I'm like, that can't be the mirror that's big and

1296
01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:03,400
Speaker 36: supposed to know all my stuff, and he didn't. The

1297
01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:05,920
Speaker 36: Quest Love and a Mirror must be two different people.

1298
01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:11,479
Speaker 36: I thought, Quest Love and a Mirror with two different people.

1299
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:14,720
Speaker 36: I had no idea you were the same person. And

1300
01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:17,280
Speaker 36: that was I didn't really know until we did the

1301
01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:20,519
Speaker 36: podcast together. Dan realized you actually do kind of know

1302
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:22,800
Speaker 36: the stuff I've done. And I was a fan of

1303
01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:24,479
Speaker 36: yours and you were a fan of mine. So it

1304
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:27,120
Speaker 36: all walked out ultimately. So I want to wish your

1305
01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:30,960
Speaker 36: happy birthday to a mirror and quest Love. Happy fifty.

01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:53,959

Speaker 3: you know, something like that.

1414

Speaker 4: Amir, you and I met working on the Hamilton Record,

1434
01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:24,880
Speaker 4: and then you invited me to be on this podcast,

1435
01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:27,679
Speaker 4: to in fact be the first person on this podcast,

1436
01:25:28,240 --> 01:25:30,720
Speaker 4: and that was one of the most bizarre nights of

1437
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:35,000
Speaker 4: my entire life. But what my story is about is

1438
01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:38,599
Speaker 4: is we've seen each other every like for a while,

1439
01:25:38,720 --> 01:25:41,600
Speaker 4: like every week for many years. So then whenever I

1440
01:25:41,640 --> 01:25:45,680
Speaker 4: would see you not at a quest love taping. You

1441
01:25:45,760 --> 01:25:49,080
Speaker 4: would not recognize me and reintroduce yourself to me. And

1442
01:25:49,200 --> 01:25:51,880
Speaker 4: this happens all the time. So like I would be

1443
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:53,679
Speaker 4: at a wedding that you would be DJing and I'd

1444
01:25:53,720 --> 01:25:55,760
Speaker 4: be like a meyr and you'd be like hey man,

1445
01:25:56,080 --> 01:25:58,000
Speaker 4: and they put out your arm and I'd be like,

1446
01:25:58,160 --> 01:26:00,920
Speaker 4: it's me. And then and the second time he'd be

1447
01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:02,720
Speaker 4: like blah blah blah blah. I was like, dude, it's me.

1448
01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:05,080
Speaker 4: He's like, you look like my accountant, and I was

1449
01:26:05,120 --> 01:26:05,519
Speaker 4: like fair.

1450
01:26:06,280 --> 01:26:08,280
Speaker 3: I was to change every time.

1460
01:26:28,360 --> 01:26:31,799

Speaker 3: Oh man, it's my turn.

1470
01:26:48,200 --> 01:26:52,479
Speaker 11: Okay, man, I guess for me, you know, our history

1471
01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:56,280
Speaker 11: goes back to that sordid corner of the Internet known

1472
01:26:56,320 --> 01:27:01,000
Speaker 11: as Okay player. But uh, you know, with my group

1473
01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:02,840
Speaker 11: little Brother, and just the way you championed us, and

1474
01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:05,400
Speaker 11: you know, man, I just think, you know, for me,

1475
01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:09,360
Speaker 11: you know, I think we was texting the other night,

1476
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:11,760
Speaker 11: just on some silly shit. I don't even know what

1477
01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:13,200
Speaker 11: he was talking about, but it was just one of

1478
01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:17,640
Speaker 11: these epic amere texts, and and I just remember just thinking, like, Yo,

1479
01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:22,720
Speaker 11: the kid who you know, snuck out of school to

1480
01:27:22,840 --> 01:27:25,560
Speaker 11: go by ill a death half life, you know, you know,

1481
01:27:25,760 --> 01:27:29,720
Speaker 11: and you know, and with left campus illegally, you know

1482
01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:31,720
Speaker 11: what I'm saying, to go get this shit like he

1483
01:27:31,840 --> 01:27:33,720
Speaker 11: would be freaking the fuck out right now to ever

1484
01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:35,640
Speaker 11: think that there was a possibility that me and the

1485
01:27:35,720 --> 01:27:38,560
Speaker 11: Mirror would actually have conversations and actually be friends, you know.

1486
01:27:38,800 --> 01:27:42,040
Speaker 11: And uh, and that's something that you know, regardless of

1487
01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:45,960
Speaker 11: the fact that however long I've been doing this podcast

1488
01:27:46,040 --> 01:27:47,760
Speaker 11: and like we've known each other, that's something that I

1489
01:27:48,120 --> 01:27:49,000
Speaker 11: never take for granted.

1490
01:27:49,160 --> 01:27:51,320
Speaker 3: And that's something that I tell people.

1491
01:27:51,400 --> 01:27:54,000
Speaker 11: You know, when I first started doing this, I had

1492
01:27:54,040 --> 01:27:56,600
Speaker 11: to let motherfuckers know up front, Like, listen, I'm not

1493
01:27:56,760 --> 01:27:59,560
Speaker 11: the quest love whisperer. Okay, you know what I'm saying, Like,

1494
01:27:59,720 --> 01:28:03,000
Speaker 11: I'm not the quest love plug. Like you know, me

1495
01:28:03,120 --> 01:28:04,920
Speaker 11: and him, you know, we have a men and mirror,

1496
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:07,800
Speaker 11: you know, have a good relationship. And the reason why

1497
01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:10,160
Speaker 11: we're able to keep that good relationship is because I

1498
01:28:10,240 --> 01:28:12,599
Speaker 11: don't come to him with bullshit, you know what I'm saying.

1499
01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:15,200
Speaker 11: And I respect your time, and I respect where you are,

1500
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:18,080
Speaker 11: and you know, I just don't be calling you for

1501
01:28:18,200 --> 01:28:19,479
Speaker 11: no frivolous shit, you know what I mean.

1502
01:28:19,600 --> 01:28:20,800
Speaker 3: And that means a lot to me.

1503
01:28:21,320 --> 01:28:23,519
Speaker 11: And you know, man, I just look at just hearing

1504
01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:25,080
Speaker 11: all the stories of all the people that came on,

1505
01:28:25,320 --> 01:28:27,880
Speaker 11: and you know, it really just makes me think of

1506
01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:32,479
Speaker 11: just how how thin like sometimes just the line between

1507
01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:36,479
Speaker 11: success and obscurity is another person believing in you, and

1508
01:28:36,840 --> 01:28:39,880
Speaker 11: you know, just you know it really you know, somebody

1509
01:28:39,960 --> 01:28:42,280
Speaker 11: like Don that was just you know, she was a bartender,

1510
01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:45,280
Speaker 11: and somebody like Tina that was just doing you know,

1511
01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:48,800
Speaker 11: doing whatever, and now she's coming like this huge person. Yeah,

1512
01:28:48,880 --> 01:28:51,040
Speaker 11: you know what I mean, Angie, you know what I'm saying,

1513
01:28:51,479 --> 01:28:55,320
Speaker 11: like everybody, and you know, I think just as we

1514
01:28:55,479 --> 01:28:58,120
Speaker 11: get older in life, you know you Fitty. I mean,

1515
01:28:58,160 --> 01:29:00,759
Speaker 11: I just turned forty two, but you know, you've definitely

1516
01:29:00,800 --> 01:29:03,240
Speaker 11: been a model for me and the way I kind

1517
01:29:03,280 --> 01:29:06,040
Speaker 11: of look at my life and career going and defining

1518
01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:08,960
Speaker 11: a legacy. I don't think a legacy is defined by

1519
01:29:09,040 --> 01:29:11,760
Speaker 11: what you do. I think a legacy is defined by

1520
01:29:11,800 --> 01:29:13,680
Speaker 11: the people that you help. You know what I mean,

1521
01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:16,920
Speaker 11: because they become your legacy is when other people go

1522
01:29:17,080 --> 01:29:19,000
Speaker 11: on to do great things and you can say, well, yo,

1523
01:29:19,080 --> 01:29:21,240
Speaker 11: well you know this was the dude that put me on.

1524
01:29:21,479 --> 01:29:23,200
Speaker 11: You know what I'm saying, Emir gave me this shot,

1525
01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:24,880
Speaker 11: and you know what I'm saying, I remember my first gig,

1526
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:27,080
Speaker 11: you know, like those things are important man, and so

1527
01:29:27,200 --> 01:29:28,800
Speaker 11: and it's not a lot of people in the game

1528
01:29:28,840 --> 01:29:33,160
Speaker 11: who would really do that selflessly, as as Shange said,

1529
01:29:33,200 --> 01:29:35,960
Speaker 11: that just can give it and not expect nothing in return.

1530
01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:37,280
Speaker 3: But just yo, I believe in you.

1531
01:29:37,439 --> 01:29:39,280
Speaker 11: I think you dope, So I'm gonna put you on,

1532
01:29:39,600 --> 01:29:41,760
Speaker 11: you know what I mean, And you know, and that

1533
01:29:41,840 --> 01:29:43,479
Speaker 11: means a lot, man, I never take that for granted,

1534
01:29:43,520 --> 01:29:45,880
Speaker 11: and so I just thank you just for everything. You

1535
01:29:45,920 --> 01:29:48,599
Speaker 11: know what I'm saying, just for bringing me into your

1536
01:29:48,880 --> 01:29:51,559
Speaker 11: universe as crazy and fucking disorganized as it.

1537
01:29:51,560 --> 01:29:58,439
Speaker 3: Can be sometimes. But you know I wouldn't it. I wouldn't.

1538
01:29:58,520 --> 01:29:59,040
Speaker 3: I wouldn't.

1539
01:29:59,320 --> 01:30:01,120
Speaker 11: I wouldn't schae for nothing else, brother, And I just

Speaker 3: Yeah, all I appreciate it. Thank you.

1544
01:30:09,080 --> 01:30:13,920
Speaker 2: All right, let me say something real quick. So let

1545
01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:16,760
Speaker 2: me say this. Although I've met a mir when I

1546
01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:20,760
Speaker 2: was I was a teenager, it's been a long interesting ride.

1547
01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:24,439
Speaker 2: Like from the moment we met, we clipped and we

1548
01:30:24,680 --> 01:30:26,920
Speaker 2: just clicked. We had things in common, we laughed, we

1549
01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:29,160
Speaker 2: had fun together. And even when I went to college,

1550
01:30:29,360 --> 01:30:31,800
Speaker 2: as you were going on your evolution and the band

1551
01:30:31,920 --> 01:30:34,559
Speaker 2: was growing, you never never forgot you come to Atlanta

1552
01:30:34,680 --> 01:30:36,519
Speaker 2: when I was in school in Atlanta. Can I come

1553
01:30:36,560 --> 01:30:38,840
Speaker 2: to the show. Yes, I see a mirror when I

1554
01:30:38,960 --> 01:30:42,200
Speaker 2: graduated college and I moved to Atlanta, I mean when

1555
01:30:42,240 --> 01:30:46,960
Speaker 2: I moved to Philly again, more mirror growing our relationship

1556
01:30:47,040 --> 01:30:49,200
Speaker 2: and whatnot and you know, it's been a lot of

1557
01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:51,960
Speaker 2: movie trips. It's been a lot of South Street diners,

1558
01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:53,960
Speaker 2: a lot of you falling to sleep on me and

1559
01:30:54,040 --> 01:30:58,400
Speaker 2: the movies learn about that. There's been a lot of

1560
01:30:58,520 --> 01:31:01,680
Speaker 2: arguments and fights. And it's funny because the Philadelphia I

1561
01:31:01,760 --> 01:31:03,519
Speaker 2: was long too. For the longest I was known as

1562
01:31:03,560 --> 01:31:05,800
Speaker 2: the Roots Warrior. Don't say nothing bad about the Roots

1563
01:31:05,840 --> 01:31:07,559
Speaker 2: on the radio. Light is gonna come at you, even

1564
01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:09,920
Speaker 2: if your name is jay Z, which I did, because

1565
01:31:10,080 --> 01:31:12,599
Speaker 2: those my boys, and I know who the fuck they are?

1566
01:31:12,760 --> 01:31:15,120
Speaker 2: They fucking dope. Why why you ain't doing nothing extra?

1567
01:31:15,280 --> 01:31:19,400
Speaker 2: You just like MCA. I'm sorry, flashback, I'm sorry. So

1568
01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:26,080
Speaker 2: but throughout this ride, you know, it's just been. It's been.

1569
01:31:26,280 --> 01:31:29,640
Speaker 2: It's been beautiful and even you've just shown me so

1570
01:31:29,760 --> 01:31:33,760
Speaker 2: many things, from going to Prince's house to sitting at

1571
01:31:33,800 --> 01:31:36,600
Speaker 2: a table with jay Z, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige and

1572
01:31:36,680 --> 01:31:38,640
Speaker 2: all these people and wondering what I'm doing here. Oh,

1573
01:31:38,680 --> 01:31:41,519
Speaker 2: I'm chaperoning a mirror his date. Oh whatever day gets

1574
01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:46,800
Speaker 2: to be here. But from all those to those moments

1575
01:31:46,840 --> 01:31:48,280
Speaker 2: whenever I would call you and say can you come

1576
01:31:48,320 --> 01:31:49,760
Speaker 2: on the radio real quick talk about this? Can you

1577
01:31:49,800 --> 01:31:51,080
Speaker 2: come on the radio real quick and talk about that

1578
01:31:51,240 --> 01:31:53,960
Speaker 2: like you always did well. Nine times out of ten.

1579
01:31:54,080 --> 01:31:57,240
Speaker 2: You always did so for those reasons because we were

1580
01:31:57,320 --> 01:31:59,200
Speaker 2: born on the same birthday and we know at our

1581
01:31:59,320 --> 01:32:01,360
Speaker 2: very essence we are too alike, and that'd be our

1582
01:32:01,439 --> 01:32:05,920
Speaker 2: problem because I will stay being the Lucy to your Charlie.

1583
01:32:06,479 --> 01:32:09,280
Speaker 2: A mere Cayleb Thompson, I love your ass even though

1584
01:32:09,280 --> 01:32:18,280
Speaker 2: I don't like you all the time, yea, y'all, and

1585
01:32:18,360 --> 01:32:21,000
Speaker 2: before I know, because don't think I ain't smart, okay,

1586
01:32:21,120 --> 01:32:23,240
Speaker 2: because we all know this now. One last thing.

1587
01:32:23,680 --> 01:32:24,840
Speaker 3: Flower is the last flower.

1588
01:32:25,080 --> 01:32:28,840
Speaker 2: The last flower A long year and maybe I think

1589
01:32:28,880 --> 01:32:30,320
Speaker 2: it's been a year and a half, but I think

1590
01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:32,760
Speaker 2: all of us on this show have noticed a very

1591
01:32:33,439 --> 01:32:38,920
Speaker 2: speedy evolution of Amir cab Thompson. And we also know

1592
01:32:39,080 --> 01:32:46,439
Speaker 2: that one of the major reasons and the person keeping

1593
01:32:46,520 --> 01:32:49,360
Speaker 2: him on that dig Gregory mentally, spiritually and everything else.

1594

Speaker 3: I'm really touched to my core. It's this.

1643
01:35:35,520 --> 01:35:40,240
Speaker 8: This is the probably the most beautiful birthday. This is

1644
01:35:40,640 --> 01:35:43,360
Speaker 8: probably the most beautiful thing that's ever happened in my

1645
01:35:43,479 --> 01:35:48,320
Speaker 8: adult life. I never have I never had a a

1646
01:35:49,520 --> 01:35:51,679

Speaker 8: Sean about how to do this show, I mean, I

1652
01:36:26,840 --> 01:36:31,479
Speaker 8: really wanted the people that I look to the most

1653
01:36:32,479 --> 01:36:38,760
Speaker 8: for their opinions and their thought process and just them

1654

Speaker 8: as humans, like I actually love you, guys, and I

1655
01:36:45,280 --> 01:36:47,960
Speaker 8: never get the sentimental I don't know why I'm so

1656
01:36:48,160 --> 01:36:51,680
Speaker 8: resistant to this. Not resistant, but I don't do this

1657
01:36:51,840 --> 01:36:57,120
Speaker 8: more often. Yes, Grace is slowly melting the art exterior.

1658
01:37:00,840 --> 01:37:04,040
Speaker 3: Out of me. But thank you so much for organizing this.

Speaker 3: Uh you know, I appreciate this.

1660
01:37:07,439 --> 01:37:11,000
Speaker 8: I think maybe from being around Rich so much, I've

1661
01:37:11,800 --> 01:37:15,200
Speaker 8: somehow decided, okay, I'll do that, like just not uh

1662
01:37:16,640 --> 01:37:19,160
Speaker 8: not celebrate too much, because I've always come from a

1663
01:37:19,200 --> 01:37:21,640
Speaker 8: place like if you celebrate, then it'll be over, and

1664
01:37:21,880 --> 01:37:22,960
Speaker 8: I never wanted to be over.

1665
01:37:23,120 --> 01:37:26,120
Speaker 3: But ah, god, well your forties are over, that's for sure.
