0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.920
<v Speaker 2>to start with some words from somebody who is a

0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:36.040
<v Speaker 2>little louder and loves a little harder. Before we go sentimental,

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:40.400

<v Speaker 6>Okay, not only is a Mayor one of the greatest

0:02:56.160 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 6>drummers ever like Buddy Rich Gray. Not only is he

0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:04.760
<v Speaker 6>one of the greatest DJs ever like grand Master Flash,

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:09.720

<v Speaker 3>More than a Mirr.

0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 6>No one in the whole world appreciates a good movie,

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:32.400
<v Speaker 6>a good song, a great album, a great book. He's

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:36.080
<v Speaker 6>that guy. Now, occasionally he will recommend some bullshit because

0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:37.040

<v Speaker 8>I'm fighting squirm, Yes, I'm squirming like a motherfucking type.

<v Speaker 2>But well, y'all think he ready, but he might well,

0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:43.120
<v Speaker 2>he might not be ready for this next one. So

0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:45.920
<v Speaker 2>now that we've had some fun, let's start with some

0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.200
<v Speaker 2>things that we may not know about a mirror from

0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.920
<v Speaker 2>the beginning of his life, with the person who we

0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.080
<v Speaker 2>would not who would be, who was the reason that

0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:55.280
<v Speaker 2>we know him period. I'm talking about.

0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:59.320
<v Speaker 3>My mom, your mama, God, Mama. Love.

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.319
<v Speaker 12>This is to you on your birthday.

0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:09.160
<v Speaker 13>You know you've told every story that probably that could

0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.400
<v Speaker 13>be told about you.

0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:15.439
<v Speaker 12>But I have one that I don't think anyone knows.

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:20.960
<v Speaker 13>And it's about Dawn coming home from school one day

0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:26.080
<v Speaker 13>while she was in grade school asking me, Mommy, I

0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:31.239
<v Speaker 13>want you to have a baby, and I told her, oh, sure, okay,

0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.440
<v Speaker 13>I said, God will have to give it to me.

0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 13>So I proceeded to try to have to get pregnant,

0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:46.560
<v Speaker 13>and in the process of doing that, nothing happened. Each

0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:52.120
<v Speaker 13>month I would be disappointed. So I guess six or

0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:55.319
<v Speaker 13>seven months went by and she said, Mommy, is God

0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.680
<v Speaker 13>mad at you? I forgot I had told don this,

0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:04.000
<v Speaker 13>and I said no, I don't think so why she said,

0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:06.880
<v Speaker 13>because you said babies come from God, and you don't.

0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:09.439
<v Speaker 13>You're not having a baby.

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:12.240
<v Speaker 11>So I then.

0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:15.199
<v Speaker 12>Thought, okay, I have to go.

0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.640
<v Speaker 13>About this different. I went to the doctor, got examined,

0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 13>and you went through the whole everything, the whole gamut.

0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 13>And the doctor told me, look, you're fine, You're healthy.

0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:29.400
<v Speaker 12>You can get pregnant.

0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:35.560
<v Speaker 13>And on my way home, I thought, God, I want

0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:41.360
<v Speaker 13>a son so bad. And I thought, I'm not gonna

0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:46.720
<v Speaker 13>tell anyone about it. I'm just gonna keep praying and

0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:54.240
<v Speaker 13>asking for her son. And I did get pregnant, and

0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:57.559
<v Speaker 13>I was so happy. I mean I think I started.

0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:01.400
<v Speaker 12>Wearing maternity clothes two months, three months. I was just

0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:07.800
<v Speaker 12>happy to be pregnant. And I went to Lama's classes.

0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:12.400
<v Speaker 13>You know, I'm gonna have the natural childbirth, and I

0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:13.880
<v Speaker 13>want everything to be right.

0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:23.520
<v Speaker 12>And so the day came when it was time for

0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:24.200
<v Speaker 12>me to go.

0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:31.480
<v Speaker 13>To the hospital, January twentieth, and I got to the

0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:33.040
<v Speaker 13>hospital and I was in.

0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 12>The room and they wanted to give me, you.

0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:38.480
<v Speaker 13>Know, we wanted to give you some pain. No, I said, no,

0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:42.880
<v Speaker 13>get I'm taking nothing. I want my child to come in.

0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.360
<v Speaker 13>And I didn't know if it was male or female.

0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:48.040
<v Speaker 13>I just knew that I was praying for.

0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 5>A male.

0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:54.960
<v Speaker 12>And I said, no, I am, I'm not taking anything.

0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:58.040
<v Speaker 13>I want my child to come into this world with

0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:02.720
<v Speaker 13>a clear head and not have any kind of medication

0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:08.520
<v Speaker 13>going through it. So at the same time, this young

0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.920
<v Speaker 13>doctor walked into the room and in his name was

0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:20.240
<v Speaker 13>Gordon Hotus, and he introduced hisself and told him I'm

0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 13>going to be here with you and did all the

0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:29.240
<v Speaker 13>things he was supposed to do. Took a long time

0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:35.200
<v Speaker 13>for different things to happen, so they said take her

0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:40.280
<v Speaker 13>downstairs to get They wanted to get some shots.

0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:43.240
<v Speaker 12>I guess X rays or something.

0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:47.240
<v Speaker 13>Because if it's taking long for you to come and

0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:51.080
<v Speaker 13>you finally we get on the elevator, I'm sorry. We

0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:54.040
<v Speaker 13>get on the elevator, and I was like, what if

0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:57.920
<v Speaker 13>I have the baby down there, what happens? Don't worry

0:12:57.920 --> 0:12:58.480
<v Speaker 13>about that.

0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:05.640
<v Speaker 12>We're going to take care it. So just being anxious.

0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:13.360
<v Speaker 13>And when I we did the x rays, got back

0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 13>on the elevator, came upstairs to the room.

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:24.920
<v Speaker 12>And my water grop brushed me to the birthing room.

0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:34.720
<v Speaker 13>And I just I just knew last week from here

<v Speaker 13>you and I were talking about manifestation and attention, and

0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:42.040
<v Speaker 13>I thought.

0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:46.600
<v Speaker 12>Those prayers came true.

0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:52.040

<v Speaker 2>Also else interesting about a mirror and I'll let his

0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:49.920
<v Speaker 2>sister explain. But your first words were they was rather

0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:50.840
<v Speaker 2>like offensive?

0:16:52.520 --> 0:17:03.040
<v Speaker 15>Damn yeah?

0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:05.760
<v Speaker 3>Oh and oh yeah walk on music too.

0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:08.080
<v Speaker 2>Adonda, Yes, your sister Dante.

0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:15.600
<v Speaker 16>Of course, at one year old, my brother's first words

0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:23.120
<v Speaker 16>were Mama, dad, motherfucker.

0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:38.320
<v Speaker 17>My adorable baby brother. Amir colleb Thompson, The circumstances. Our

0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:43.640
<v Speaker 17>parents were newly signed to a major label and they

0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:49.280
<v Speaker 17>were on tour that year, so my brother, Amir and

0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:52.480
<v Speaker 17>I spent time with relatives in La.

0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:54.360
<v Speaker 5>We had a cousin.

0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:59.719
<v Speaker 17>Who lived in Compton who with sometimes baby sit us,

0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:03.440
<v Speaker 17>come pick us up and drive us to hang out

0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:10.600
<v Speaker 17>with his friends. He was a crip okay, So basically

0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.800
<v Speaker 17>my brother got the full immersion and I became low

0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:18.479
<v Speaker 17>key fluent in the art of cousin at once. So

0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:23.040
<v Speaker 17>imagine months later, the tour is over and we're reunited

0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:29.280
<v Speaker 17>with our parents and at hello, Amir very casually unleashes

0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:37.199
<v Speaker 17>a garden variety of profanity, a whirlwind avarage of obscenity.

0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:45.199
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, my mom was mortified.

0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:48.880
<v Speaker 17>Me on the other hand, and I'm nine, He's won,

0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:56.600
<v Speaker 17>And from my perspective, it was it was magical. This

0:18:57.440 --> 0:18:58.280
<v Speaker 17>was wonderment.

0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:01.760
<v Speaker 3>That's what it was like for me.

0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:04.840
<v Speaker 17>I was like, look at him, go you know, it

0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:08.440
<v Speaker 17>was like I had my own little leprechaun and you

0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:10.640
<v Speaker 17>wouldn't know what nine you don't, you know, just cuse

0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:14.760
<v Speaker 17>out your parents. But he was one and he didn't

0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:19.560
<v Speaker 17>get it. My mom, Remy did it by reading a

0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:23.200
<v Speaker 17>book on child's psychology that talked about being non reactive

0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:26.560
<v Speaker 17>and it passes, and it did. Growing up with the mirror,

0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:30.560
<v Speaker 17>growing up with you a mirror was an adventure. It

0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:34.720
<v Speaker 17>was otherworldly. It was black, lindsay, it was a gift.

0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:39.919
<v Speaker 17>So on your special day, and the only way I

0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:47.720
<v Speaker 17>know how to say it, I say, who's counting? And

<v Speaker 2>think that y'all will all be surprised by. And here we.

0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:33.639
<v Speaker 18>Go, Happy birthday, on Mere. I'm going to take you

0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:37.280
<v Speaker 18>back just about forty five years ago when we first

0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:42.240
<v Speaker 18>and that was when your parents, Jackie and Lee, brought

0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:45.800
<v Speaker 18>you to the Performing Arts School of Philadelphia for an

0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:50.359
<v Speaker 18>interview and to enroll you in the elementary school program.

0:21:50.520 --> 0:21:55.159
<v Speaker 18>Your parents, of course, both being professional performers, decided that

0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:58.640
<v Speaker 18>an education that included the arts was the place for you.

0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:02.639
<v Speaker 18>And I was doing double duty getting a degree in

0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:06.840
<v Speaker 18>dance but also serving as the classroom teacher for a

0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:11.400
<v Speaker 18>group of about twelve elementary school children, and the director

0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:14.479
<v Speaker 18>of the school, doctor nage and Ahmik, asked me to

0:22:14.600 --> 0:22:18.760
<v Speaker 18>interview you to assess your potential for joining the group

0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:23.520
<v Speaker 18>as a kindergarten student. Well, you walked into the interview

0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:28.680
<v Speaker 18>with your very remarkable afro and just as remarkable smile.

0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:32.600
<v Speaker 18>We had a great chat, as I remember, and at

0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:35.479
<v Speaker 18>the end of it, I asked, I'm here, what do

0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:37.439
<v Speaker 18>you want to do and what do you want to

0:22:37.440 --> 0:22:41.760
<v Speaker 18>be when you grow up? You said, oh, Pearl, I'm

0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:45.280
<v Speaker 18>going to be a drummer. I then asked you if

0:22:45.359 --> 0:22:49.600
<v Speaker 18>perhaps you wanted to study an additional instrument like the

0:22:49.680 --> 0:22:57.520
<v Speaker 18>piano or violin, just in case, and you said, very indignantly, no, Pearl,

0:22:57.800 --> 0:23:02.080
<v Speaker 18>I am going to be a drummer, and a very

0:23:02.119 --> 0:23:07.280
<v Speaker 18>famous drummer. What was so astounding was the clarity and

0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:11.080
<v Speaker 18>intensity with which you knew, at such a tender age

0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:15.679
<v Speaker 18>exactly who and what you were to become. And of

0:23:15.720 --> 0:23:19.720
<v Speaker 18>course the rest is history. Fast forward to a couple

0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:22.240
<v Speaker 18>of years ago, when I had the pleasure of watching

0:23:22.280 --> 0:23:26.520
<v Speaker 18>you perform live at the Tonight show fulfilling the prophecy

0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:29.639
<v Speaker 18>of that four and a half year old not only

0:23:29.720 --> 0:23:35.040
<v Speaker 18>to become a drummer, but a very famous one. Happy birthday,

0:23:35.080 --> 0:23:38.320
<v Speaker 18>I'm here and thank you so much for the privilege

0:23:38.320 --> 0:23:40.320
<v Speaker 18>of teaching you so many years ago.

0:23:41.560 --> 0:23:49.560
<v Speaker 8>Oh man, give me man, Wow. Yeah, she was the

0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:54.920
<v Speaker 8>teacher that she's the one that started. If you want

0:23:54.960 --> 0:23:59.560
<v Speaker 8>to know the seeds of my liner note book writing history,

0:24:00.200 --> 0:24:04.639
<v Speaker 8>that's where it starts. Like my first homework assignment, Songs

0:24:04.640 --> 0:24:06.600
<v Speaker 8>in the Key of Life just came out the week

0:24:07.760 --> 0:24:10.240
<v Speaker 8>of the first day of school, and so, oh wow,

0:24:10.800 --> 0:24:13.399
<v Speaker 8>that was our homework. We had to all purchase songs

0:24:13.400 --> 0:24:15.440
<v Speaker 8>in the Key of Life. And of course if you

0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:19.560
<v Speaker 8>brought the album, there's a booklet inside there's thirty pages

0:24:19.600 --> 0:24:22.399
<v Speaker 8>of everything. So you know, in that class, I learned

0:24:23.080 --> 0:24:26.440
<v Speaker 8>what an orchestra section was, I learned what thank you

0:24:26.520 --> 0:24:29.000
<v Speaker 8>notes were, and I beg that that was the book

0:24:29.040 --> 0:24:32.240
<v Speaker 8>I was obsessed with. And then you know that that

0:24:32.320 --> 0:24:36.440
<v Speaker 8>planet the seeds of my liner note addiction writing. Shout

0:24:36.440 --> 0:24:38.880
<v Speaker 8>out to miss Schaffer. Wow, but I mean this is emotional.

0:24:39.040 --> 0:24:43.280
<v Speaker 8>Why am I crying? As question virtual zoom and I'm

0:24:43.280 --> 0:24:49.200
<v Speaker 8>a podcast I know. Yeah, man, Wow, that's really beautiful.

0:24:49.600 --> 0:24:52.119
<v Speaker 8>I'm not even y'all broke me down. I'm not even

0:24:53.200 --> 0:24:55.880
<v Speaker 8>ashamed to take these flowers. I didn't think it would

0:24:55.920 --> 0:24:56.320
<v Speaker 8>go this day.

0:24:56.359 --> 0:24:59.720
<v Speaker 3>I loved this flower, taking mantra so into it. Yeah,

0:25:00.520 --> 0:25:04.080
<v Speaker 3>four flowers, let's go whole. God damn garden.

0:25:05.600 --> 0:25:08.320
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I should break up. Like the sadness

0:25:08.320 --> 0:25:09.920
<v Speaker 2>of it is, this, is it getting? Is it getting

0:25:09.960 --> 0:25:10.520
<v Speaker 2>too said?

0:25:10.800 --> 0:25:12.000
<v Speaker 3>Give me a mean story.

<v Speaker 3>Okay.

0:26:46.400 --> 0:26:49.360
<v Speaker 8>So this goes back to the Steve a Mere being

0:26:49.440 --> 0:26:55.040
<v Speaker 8>late thing. I was late to to the uh the retreat.

0:26:55.200 --> 0:27:01.159
<v Speaker 3>Jeff. Jeff has his annual playlist plays playlist Treat Delaware,

0:27:01.640 --> 0:27:02.600
<v Speaker 3>right in Delaware.

0:27:02.720 --> 0:27:05.200
<v Speaker 8>So we were done shooting Fall and we rushed down

0:27:05.520 --> 0:27:10.199
<v Speaker 8>ninety five to Delaware. And I got there and you know,

0:27:10.600 --> 0:27:16.040
<v Speaker 8>there was a taco truck. So I was hungry. So

0:27:16.200 --> 0:27:20.280
<v Speaker 8>I had a taco. Then I had two tacos. All

0:27:20.280 --> 0:27:24.600
<v Speaker 8>this Mexican corn. I'm grubbing it up, and not once

0:27:25.440 --> 0:27:29.000
<v Speaker 8>did anyone tell me that it was infused taco with

0:27:29.080 --> 0:27:32.400
<v Speaker 8>like at least it had to be in like three

0:27:32.480 --> 0:27:35.720
<v Speaker 8>hundred four hundred megagrams of weed in it. I didn't

0:27:35.720 --> 0:27:36.080
<v Speaker 8>even know.

0:27:37.440 --> 0:27:40.800
<v Speaker 2>People, you know a Mere. It's funny you say that.

0:27:40.880 --> 0:27:44.359
<v Speaker 2>I think you are cuing my next video, because you know,

0:27:44.440 --> 0:27:46.320
<v Speaker 2>of course, the assignment was to ask folks, you know,

0:27:46.359 --> 0:27:48.840
<v Speaker 2>their favorite of mirror story, and there are some really

0:27:48.880 --> 0:27:53.600
<v Speaker 2>interesting parallels with your fellow roots mate, stro. I would

0:27:53.640 --> 0:27:56.920
<v Speaker 2>just like to play.

0:27:55.760 --> 0:27:59.080
<v Speaker 20>Your birthday brother, Mirr. I know everybody else probably has

0:27:59.280 --> 0:28:02.000
<v Speaker 20>crazy story and stories and drugs because they've known you longer,

0:28:02.640 --> 0:28:05.359
<v Speaker 20>but that doesn't mean that I don't at least have one,

0:28:06.000 --> 0:28:09.879
<v Speaker 20>which was I remember specifically we caught you were so

0:28:10.000 --> 0:28:12.320
<v Speaker 20>gracious to book a car for us to go down

0:28:12.359 --> 0:28:13.359
<v Speaker 20>to Jazzy Jeff's.

0:28:13.080 --> 0:28:16.159
<v Speaker 5>Playlist retreat right after a gig.

0:28:16.480 --> 0:28:19.760
<v Speaker 20>We went down there, there was food, there was music,

0:28:19.840 --> 0:28:23.480
<v Speaker 20>There were some things in the food. You didn't realize

0:28:23.480 --> 0:28:26.640
<v Speaker 20>that until it was too late, And that lasted till

0:28:26.840 --> 0:28:29.880
<v Speaker 20>the following day at work, in which we showed up

0:28:30.280 --> 0:28:32.800
<v Speaker 20>and everything seemed fine, except for the fact that we

0:28:32.800 --> 0:28:36.119
<v Speaker 20>were running through the sandwiches and walk ons and stuff

0:28:36.119 --> 0:28:39.080
<v Speaker 20>that we normally play. And some of these walk ons

0:28:39.080 --> 0:28:41.360
<v Speaker 20>and these sandwiches were very chopped and screwed.

0:28:41.960 --> 0:28:43.000
<v Speaker 5>Some of them were very.

0:28:42.920 --> 0:28:47.520
<v Speaker 20>Kanye, all very different tempos in which we normally in

0:28:47.560 --> 0:28:50.880
<v Speaker 20>comparison what you normally play them. But the funniest moment

0:28:50.920 --> 0:28:53.400
<v Speaker 20>happened on air while taping, and I had this footage

0:28:53.400 --> 0:28:55.360
<v Speaker 20>in my phone, and I'm so mad that it's not

0:28:55.400 --> 0:28:57.960
<v Speaker 20>in my phone anymore, because I never deleted anything.

0:28:58.600 --> 0:29:00.080
<v Speaker 5>Jimmy asked you a question.

0:28:59.840 --> 0:29:04.320
<v Speaker 20>On the air, and you gave the dumbest response only man,

0:29:04.760 --> 0:29:11.520
<v Speaker 20>which was huh, super funny. I probably last internally for

0:29:11.560 --> 0:29:14.280
<v Speaker 20>the rest of the episode because I knew what that

0:29:14.360 --> 0:29:17.920
<v Speaker 20>response was. Jimmy probably knew what that response was, and

0:29:17.960 --> 0:29:19.160
<v Speaker 20>he moved on very quickly.

0:29:19.960 --> 0:29:22.280
<v Speaker 3>But I never forgot it. Birthday, Bro?

0:29:28.760 --> 0:29:31.600
<v Speaker 4>Why does he look and sound like he's in Soul

0:29:31.720 --> 0:29:32.200
<v Speaker 4>the movie?

0:29:34.480 --> 0:29:34.959
<v Speaker 3>Right right?

0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:36.160
<v Speaker 21>Is that just me?

0:29:36.440 --> 0:29:39.280
<v Speaker 3>Like he'd sounds like he like what.

0:29:39.440 --> 0:29:41.800
<v Speaker 4>Does he play the saxophone on the street corner?

0:29:43.800 --> 0:29:44.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:29:44.040 --> 0:29:47.560
<v Speaker 8>It stows right like it it not. It knocked me

0:29:47.600 --> 0:29:50.560
<v Speaker 8>out at Jeff's. But the thing was, I immediately went

0:29:50.600 --> 0:29:55.080
<v Speaker 8>to sleep, and then I got in the car and

0:29:55.160 --> 0:29:57.280
<v Speaker 8>slept in the car. The thing is is that when

0:29:57.280 --> 0:30:00.280
<v Speaker 8>you do that, you the rest of my bod like

0:30:00.440 --> 0:30:03.680
<v Speaker 8>you know, obviously I was still huh and so when

0:30:03.720 --> 0:30:08.840
<v Speaker 8>I started drumming, immediately it kicked in. When I started drumming,

0:30:09.120 --> 0:30:12.840
<v Speaker 8>and yeah, that was the highest ever, one of the

0:30:12.880 --> 0:30:13.479
<v Speaker 8>highest I ever.

0:30:13.560 --> 0:30:15.200
<v Speaker 3>That's hilarious, is it?

0:30:15.280 --> 0:30:18.080
<v Speaker 2>Because it's funny you say that a mirror because I

0:30:18.120 --> 0:30:18.720
<v Speaker 2>have another?

0:30:19.800 --> 0:30:21.400
<v Speaker 3>It's just come on, who is this?

0:30:21.880 --> 0:30:22.040
<v Speaker 22>Oh?

0:30:22.280 --> 0:30:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Did you already know that it was?

0:30:24.320 --> 0:30:26.400
<v Speaker 3>Because he's he loves the story good.

0:30:26.720 --> 0:30:31.120
<v Speaker 23>I wish a happy old man birthday to my old head.

0:30:32.520 --> 0:30:35.720
<v Speaker 3>Quest all love you know what I mean? Getting up there,

0:30:36.280 --> 0:30:36.840
<v Speaker 3>old head.

0:30:37.920 --> 0:30:41.520
<v Speaker 23>You know, I was asked to put a video together

0:30:42.280 --> 0:30:44.920
<v Speaker 23>small things, just to kind of give a story about

0:30:44.960 --> 0:30:50.840
<v Speaker 23>something that, you know, something from our past, and figure,

0:30:51.840 --> 0:30:54.920
<v Speaker 23>at the rate you're going at this point, what does

0:30:54.960 --> 0:30:58.400
<v Speaker 23>it matter if I tell his story? You know, it's

0:30:58.440 --> 0:31:01.800
<v Speaker 23>not like you can get in trouble. Hopefully your mom

0:31:01.840 --> 0:31:05.720
<v Speaker 23>doesn't see it that I'll never ever forget the time

0:31:07.160 --> 0:31:16.920
<v Speaker 23>that we were in Amsterdam. Oh yeah, stay in Amsterdam.

0:31:17.400 --> 0:31:19.520
<v Speaker 23>But it was the first thing that came to my

0:31:19.600 --> 0:31:24.320
<v Speaker 23>mind when you know, this was asking me to give

0:31:24.360 --> 0:31:29.280
<v Speaker 23>a story. So I remember sitting in a coffee shop

0:31:29.400 --> 0:31:32.360
<v Speaker 23>and you know, having good times like we used to

0:31:32.400 --> 0:31:36.080
<v Speaker 23>do back when we used to travel, you know, back

0:31:36.120 --> 0:31:41.680
<v Speaker 23>in the day, and we go to get something to

0:31:41.680 --> 0:31:44.280
<v Speaker 23>eat after because you know, that's what you do after

0:31:44.360 --> 0:31:46.040
<v Speaker 23>you have fun in the coffee shop, you go get

0:31:46.040 --> 0:31:46.760
<v Speaker 23>something to eat.

0:31:46.960 --> 0:31:48.320
<v Speaker 3>So we go get something to eat.

0:31:48.400 --> 0:31:51.720
<v Speaker 23>But in this place that we were eating, they offered,

0:31:52.400 --> 0:31:56.520
<v Speaker 23>you know, desserts and things like that, and you know,

0:31:56.640 --> 0:32:00.120
<v Speaker 23>we know you're a foodie, so what's the pace. It's

0:32:00.120 --> 0:32:04.719

<v Speaker 23>So that's my story.

0:33:34.960 --> 0:33:35.800
<v Speaker 3>Funniest Ship to.

0:33:35.880 --> 0:33:39.200
<v Speaker 23>Me, I wish you all were there, but you just

0:33:39.240 --> 0:33:42.120
<v Speaker 23>can't imagine how this might have looked. And it was crazy,

0:33:42.160 --> 0:33:45.080
<v Speaker 23>A big giant dude with an afro, you know, out

0:33:45.160 --> 0:33:48.240
<v Speaker 23>of control and running from Mickey Mouse in the streets.

0:33:47.840 --> 0:34:03.920
<v Speaker 3>Of Ampsteam's mirror k e. It was just ship.

0:34:04.800 --> 0:34:08.920
<v Speaker 8>It was the very first time ever I got high

0:34:09.040 --> 0:34:12.680
<v Speaker 8>off of the edibles off edible now the craziest thing.

0:34:12.880 --> 0:34:18.640
<v Speaker 8>But the craziest thing was we also saw Keith sweat and.

0:34:18.560 --> 0:34:21.000
<v Speaker 3>Silk walking around.

0:34:23.440 --> 0:34:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Exactly mir No.

0:34:26.080 --> 0:34:27.600
<v Speaker 8>I mean when they were chasing me, when I was like,

0:34:27.640 --> 0:34:29.239
<v Speaker 8>I gotta get out there, I gotta get out of here,

0:34:29.719 --> 0:34:31.840
<v Speaker 8>and I was like brisk walking.

0:34:32.000 --> 0:34:34.640
<v Speaker 3>The thing was is that it's funny.

0:34:34.680 --> 0:34:37.239
<v Speaker 8>I had one of the moments where I had one

0:34:37.280 --> 0:34:40.520
<v Speaker 8>of the moments where I think, that's the first time

0:34:40.600 --> 0:34:46.279
<v Speaker 8>that like subconsciously I was like, oh man, like in retrospect,

0:34:46.719 --> 0:34:47.959
<v Speaker 8>that was one of the first times I.

0:34:47.880 --> 0:34:50.319
<v Speaker 3>Was like, wow, really does care about me.

0:34:50.400 --> 0:34:53.239
<v Speaker 8>Because the thing is is that the thing is that

0:34:53.320 --> 0:34:57.680
<v Speaker 8>you got to realize is that when you're walking in Amsterdam,

0:34:58.080 --> 0:35:01.960
<v Speaker 8>there's these long what do you call it, where the

0:35:01.960 --> 0:35:06.600
<v Speaker 8>boats are and whatnot, and they don't have like guards

0:35:06.600 --> 0:35:10.880
<v Speaker 8>in them. You know what I mean, and the like

0:35:10.920 --> 0:35:14.040
<v Speaker 8>if you fall town, yeah, you fall into the canal.

0:35:14.080 --> 0:35:16.000
<v Speaker 8>That shit could be like one hundred feet you know

0:35:16.040 --> 0:35:22.480
<v Speaker 8>what I'm saying. So I definitely remembered like walking so

0:35:22.719 --> 0:35:26.680
<v Speaker 8>out of control that tik Ambridge felt the need to

0:35:26.760 --> 0:35:29.440
<v Speaker 8>stand on my right side to prevent me from falling

0:35:29.440 --> 0:35:30.120
<v Speaker 8>into the canal.

0:35:31.400 --> 0:35:32.320
<v Speaker 3>And I also.

0:35:32.160 --> 0:35:36.080
<v Speaker 8>Remember yo the go keefl Sweat and Silk and like

0:35:36.160 --> 0:35:39.480
<v Speaker 8>trying to chase them yo all yeah, that.

0:35:39.800 --> 0:35:42.640
<v Speaker 11>Was part of that story, is that you actually recognize

0:35:42.680 --> 0:35:43.640
<v Speaker 11>the members of Silk.

0:35:48.600 --> 0:35:50.680

<v Speaker 2>And that's only one glass.

0:42:17.000 --> 0:42:21.200
<v Speaker 8>I don't well, well, you know, you know one of

0:42:21.239 --> 0:42:25.600
<v Speaker 8>my favorite memories and I actually got this memory when

0:42:25.640 --> 0:42:30.960
<v Speaker 8>we did the uh the Move episode, the Michael Africa episode,

0:42:31.000 --> 0:42:33.640
<v Speaker 8>when I talked about the first time that we met

0:42:35.000 --> 0:42:42.080
<v Speaker 8>Ramona Africa, because actually the night before one of the

0:42:42.120 --> 0:42:47.040
<v Speaker 8>funnest nights of my life pre pre roots with Tarik

0:42:47.400 --> 0:42:54.760
<v Speaker 8>was his prom night. Because Tarik was two years younger

0:42:54.760 --> 0:42:57.840
<v Speaker 8>than me, so his prom night he graduated in nineteen

0:42:57.920 --> 0:43:01.320
<v Speaker 8>ninety one, it was kind of like, actually, Tarika was

0:43:01.320 --> 0:43:06.400
<v Speaker 8>on that alex vanderpool before Boys to Men, So he

0:43:07.560 --> 0:43:10.120
<v Speaker 8>was going he went to his prom and like this

0:43:10.160 --> 0:43:13.040
<v Speaker 8>really dope short set thing like it was a suit

0:43:13.160 --> 0:43:17.160
<v Speaker 8>but it was shorts, and the school had kicked him

0:43:17.160 --> 0:43:21.480
<v Speaker 8>out because they just didn't understand like the joint was.

0:43:21.239 --> 0:43:22.160
<v Speaker 3>It was fresh.

0:43:22.480 --> 0:43:24.799
<v Speaker 8>I mean, he just had shorts on and he he

0:43:24.880 --> 0:43:26.719
<v Speaker 8>was Alexander pulled up, but he still had a suit

0:43:26.800 --> 0:43:30.600
<v Speaker 8>on and they kicked him out. But the thing was

0:43:30.600 --> 0:43:37.759
<v Speaker 8>was that his grandmam ordered the limo and we trust me,

0:43:37.800 --> 0:43:43.160
<v Speaker 8>we laughed about this. The limo that she ordered was

0:43:43.360 --> 0:43:46.279
<v Speaker 8>the heart that we unfortunately had to bury his mom

0:43:46.360 --> 0:43:52.080
<v Speaker 8>and like maybe, oh my god.

0:43:52.080 --> 0:43:55.439
<v Speaker 4>You know the story soon.

0:43:58.040 --> 0:44:01.520
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, we were dying. We were because like

0:44:01.560 --> 0:44:04.799
<v Speaker 3>we're stuck. We're stuck in this limousine. Like he's like

0:44:04.840 --> 0:44:06.719
<v Speaker 3>I got the limit for the night, so let's all hate.

0:44:06.760 --> 0:44:10.399
<v Speaker 8>So we like me him and a few our crew,

0:44:10.560 --> 0:44:14.440
<v Speaker 8>like we just got in that hearse and just cruised

0:44:14.480 --> 0:44:18.080
<v Speaker 8>all down up and down Philadelphia, but just showing up

0:44:18.120 --> 0:44:19.759
<v Speaker 8>everywhere in this funeral hearse.

0:44:20.480 --> 0:44:22.439
<v Speaker 3>Yes, it was the most hilarious sight.

0:44:23.480 --> 0:44:28.600
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, it was exactly like Black Ghostbusters, but I just die.

0:44:28.800 --> 0:44:31.839
<v Speaker 8>I laughed at the fact that that was the limousine

0:44:31.960 --> 0:44:36.360

<v Speaker 27>The day Erica had Erica Bad had just had her

0:45:28.080 --> 0:45:29.799
<v Speaker 27>first hit and you had to pick her up from

0:45:29.800 --> 0:45:31.800
<v Speaker 27>the airport. She was doing something with you in Philly

0:45:31.880 --> 0:45:34.799
<v Speaker 27>and you don't drive, or you didn't drive until you

0:45:34.840 --> 0:45:38.560
<v Speaker 27>were like forty nine and a half, and we had

0:45:38.560 --> 0:45:41.680
<v Speaker 27>to pick her up in my Dodge Russ bucket, and

0:45:41.719 --> 0:45:44.600
<v Speaker 27>so you were so uncomfortable you finally just came out.

0:45:44.600 --> 0:45:46.000
<v Speaker 2>I was like, Erica, I'm so sorry we had to

0:45:46.000 --> 0:45:48.680
<v Speaker 2>pick you up in this car. And I was like, motherfucker,

0:45:48.719 --> 0:45:51.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm on your penroll. This is all.

0:45:52.719 --> 0:45:52.959
<v Speaker 3>Two.

0:45:53.760 --> 0:45:57.480
<v Speaker 27>Do you remember when you took me under your wing

0:45:57.760 --> 0:46:00.919
<v Speaker 27>as a person with pimples and told to drink more water. Again,

0:46:00.960 --> 0:46:03.000
<v Speaker 27>I'm driving you somewhere, so I think you thought you

0:46:03.040 --> 0:46:06.840
<v Speaker 27>had to like just make some small talk, and you

0:46:07.000 --> 0:46:09.239
<v Speaker 27>just kept saying, and you know, if you drink more water?

0:46:09.280 --> 0:46:13.000
<v Speaker 27>You ever tried drinking more water? And that's what real

0:46:13.040 --> 0:46:14.919
<v Speaker 27>friends do. They tell real friends. You know, your face

0:46:15.000 --> 0:46:19.000
<v Speaker 27>is fucked. Thank you, I drink water.

0:46:19.239 --> 0:46:21.640
<v Speaker 7>I look at me now, it's like this is a filter.

0:46:21.760 --> 0:46:26.120
<v Speaker 27>But anyway, I'm so happy that my mom made me

0:46:26.160 --> 0:46:28.239
<v Speaker 27>telemarket when I was fifteen so that I could meet

0:46:28.280 --> 0:46:29.480
<v Speaker 27>you and we could be friends.

0:46:29.640 --> 0:46:36.640
<v Speaker 3>I love you, man. Drink more water, everybody, you know

0:46:36.640 --> 0:46:37.360
<v Speaker 3>what's about.

0:46:37.360 --> 0:46:40.239
<v Speaker 8>And the story that she could have told that was

0:46:40.320 --> 0:46:43.120
<v Speaker 8>hilarious was that when I asked for a phone number

0:46:43.440 --> 0:46:48.480
<v Speaker 8>at our at ORAE that insurance job, she didn't give me.

0:46:48.920 --> 0:46:52.600
<v Speaker 3>The last two numbers, So my.

0:46:52.560 --> 0:46:56.760
<v Speaker 8>Dumb ass had to yes, figurat to at home doing

0:46:56.880 --> 0:46:58.280
<v Speaker 8>every comedy.

0:46:57.960 --> 0:47:00.960
<v Speaker 2>One, two, two, two, three, four, five six six six.

0:47:00.920 --> 0:47:04.439
<v Speaker 8>Oh my god, her last two digits was sixty five,

0:47:04.520 --> 0:47:08.279
<v Speaker 8>So I think, like, I think, maybe ten. I would

0:47:08.400 --> 0:47:10.880
<v Speaker 8>attempt ten times a day until I got it finally,

0:47:10.920 --> 0:47:12.160
<v Speaker 8>like four days later, I.

0:47:12.080 --> 0:47:15.880
<v Speaker 3>Got the the the way, Yes, that's.

0:47:17.239 --> 0:47:19.239
<v Speaker 4>That's I finally guess the last two digits.

0:47:19.640 --> 0:47:24.160
<v Speaker 8>But wait, no, there's another hilarious a movement that I

0:47:24.200 --> 0:47:27.560
<v Speaker 8>don't think the Oka player world knows about, which was

0:47:27.719 --> 0:47:31.839
<v Speaker 8>the night we went out to a celebratory meal when

0:47:31.840 --> 0:47:34.280
<v Speaker 8>we launched the site in nineteen ninety eight.

0:47:35.520 --> 0:47:36.000
<v Speaker 28>And.

0:47:37.600 --> 0:47:41.080
<v Speaker 8>Both of us, I think both of us got food poisoning.

0:47:42.520 --> 0:47:47.000
<v Speaker 8>So if you if you remember the movie Stamp by Me,

0:47:48.400 --> 0:47:57.120
<v Speaker 8>then we're in Angie's car right and I'm feeling ill

0:47:57.200 --> 0:47:59.360
<v Speaker 8>and I feel like, okay, I think I might have

0:47:59.400 --> 0:47:59.920
<v Speaker 8>to throw up.

0:48:00.800 --> 0:48:03.520
<v Speaker 3>So we're at a red light.

0:48:04.040 --> 0:48:07.799
<v Speaker 8>We're in Philadelphia, so we're at like we're on I

0:48:07.840 --> 0:48:10.399
<v Speaker 8>think we're driving towards my house, so I think we're

0:48:10.480 --> 0:48:15.800
<v Speaker 8>on Pine Street. We're maybe like on eleventh and Pine.

0:48:15.960 --> 0:48:17.560
<v Speaker 8>And I can't take it no more, so I say

0:48:17.640 --> 0:48:21.120
<v Speaker 8>look and just pull over. I open up the car

0:48:21.200 --> 0:48:22.960
<v Speaker 8>door and I run right to the corner and I

0:48:23.040 --> 0:48:27.400
<v Speaker 8>just start hurling. So I get back in the car.

0:48:28.239 --> 0:48:31.680
<v Speaker 8>And then I think seeing me do that made her

0:48:31.760 --> 0:48:33.680
<v Speaker 8>want to do that. So then she had a reaction.

0:48:34.000 --> 0:48:36.920
<v Speaker 8>She stops the car, gets out and starts throwing up,

0:48:37.600 --> 0:48:40.160
<v Speaker 8>and then me seeing her throwing up, makes me then

0:48:40.280 --> 0:48:42.840
<v Speaker 8>get out the car and starting So we now have

0:48:43.080 --> 0:48:47.799
<v Speaker 8>just a circle of circle duke, and so mid throw up.

0:48:48.840 --> 0:48:52.239
<v Speaker 8>Now again, she's not even double park like the car

0:48:52.320 --> 0:48:56.440
<v Speaker 8>doors that opens only two lane highway. And I'm telling

0:48:56.480 --> 0:48:58.560
<v Speaker 8>an a run around the corner so I don't see

0:48:58.600 --> 0:49:01.640
<v Speaker 8>you throwing up. She's like, so literally, we're trying to

0:49:01.719 --> 0:49:04.080
<v Speaker 8>run as far away from each other so that we

0:49:04.120 --> 0:49:07.319
<v Speaker 8>don't get sick off of watching each other throw up.

0:49:09.200 --> 0:49:13.120
<v Speaker 8>That is me and and in ore are. I'm about

0:49:13.120 --> 0:49:17.240
<v Speaker 8>to say, twenty five really are thirty year history together?

0:49:17.719 --> 0:49:20.959
<v Speaker 2>Like that story, Remember in the beginning when I said,

0:49:21.040 --> 0:49:22.560
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna let them tell the stories, and you ain't

0:49:22.560 --> 0:49:26.200
<v Speaker 2>gotta take the longer version hers time. So it's two

0:49:26.239 --> 0:49:27.640
<v Speaker 2>stories in a minute, mayor.

0:49:27.520 --> 0:49:28.880
<v Speaker 3>She told a minute twelve.

0:49:33.960 --> 0:49:35.920
<v Speaker 2>By the way, I'm not interrupting y'all. Y'all if you

0:49:35.920 --> 0:49:39.200
<v Speaker 2>want to interrupt with a story anytime. Please feel free, fellas.

0:49:38.800 --> 0:49:40.560
<v Speaker 11>Because now I want to hear from the people. This

<v Speaker 11>is our first time hearing these.

0:49:43.200 --> 0:49:45.719

0:55:26.000 --> 0:55:30.520
<v Speaker 10>I was at Electric Garden, which is owned and operated

0:55:30.560 --> 0:55:33.919
<v Speaker 10>by Ben Kine, who was an assistant engineered Electric Lady

0:55:34.880 --> 0:55:35.640
<v Speaker 10>towards the end of my.

0:55:37.239 --> 0:55:38.439
<v Speaker 3>Tenure there. Rain.

0:55:38.920 --> 0:55:40.960

<v Speaker 8>That's right, people, I was about to say I the

1:03:11.280 --> 1:03:13.320
<v Speaker 8>one thing I missed the most about working at thirty

1:03:13.360 --> 1:03:16.760
<v Speaker 8>year Rock now is that there's no more Steve's arr arguments,

1:03:17.400 --> 1:03:21.280

1:03:24.400 --> 1:03:27.120
<v Speaker 8>at work. There's no crime in baseball. But she cried

1:03:27.160 --> 1:03:28.080

1:03:28.160 --> 1:03:31.560
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, don't she cry like every day? Man. She

1:03:32.000 --> 1:03:34.800
<v Speaker 3>runs the world with a boy and he's the reason

1:03:34.800 --> 1:03:35.800
<v Speaker 3>why I'm in all these movies.

1:03:36.240 --> 1:03:40.240
<v Speaker 2>And again a mirror remind people that Zarah came into

<v Speaker 33>So one of my favorite Emir stories is of course

1:04:25.880 --> 1:04:30.160
<v Speaker 33>grounded in our decades long battle against one another in scrabble,

1:04:31.120 --> 1:04:34.280

1:14:40.040 --> 1:14:42.360
<v Speaker 8>someone makes it at a certain level, you're like, your

1:14:42.479 --> 1:14:45.040
<v Speaker 8>dream is to do something nice for your mom, like

1:14:45.160 --> 1:14:48.000
<v Speaker 8>either get her that house or get her that that item,

1:14:48.120 --> 1:14:49.360
<v Speaker 8>so you know.

1:14:50.479 --> 1:14:51.800
<v Speaker 3>My first my mom.

1:14:52.160 --> 1:14:54.479
<v Speaker 8>What my mom didn't also share when she was sharing

1:14:54.520 --> 1:14:58.639
<v Speaker 8>her story was that, uh, my dad promised my mom

1:14:58.720 --> 1:15:01.799
<v Speaker 8>her dream car, which is the history of weird cars

1:15:01.800 --> 1:15:04.280
<v Speaker 8>in the Thompson family. It's nothing new, doesn't start with

1:15:04.360 --> 1:15:09.080
<v Speaker 8>my scion. My mom always wanted a Volkswagen Beetle.

1:15:11.800 --> 1:15:13.360
<v Speaker 3>The right.

1:15:13.479 --> 1:15:15.840
<v Speaker 8>So when they remade those cars and brought them out,

1:15:17.040 --> 1:15:19.400
<v Speaker 8>I got my mom one. But I had this idea

1:15:19.680 --> 1:15:22.280
<v Speaker 8>that I said, what I want to do is I

1:15:22.400 --> 1:15:26.040
<v Speaker 8>want to make my mom think that her old car,

1:15:26.439 --> 1:15:30.960
<v Speaker 8>her broken down car, was stolen. And then Blama is

1:15:31.040 --> 1:15:35.519
<v Speaker 8>surprised with the new car. So basically, Myhershela, I somehow

1:15:35.560 --> 1:15:37.760
<v Speaker 8>got the keys from my from my mom, gave it

1:15:37.800 --> 1:15:41.200
<v Speaker 8>to Myharsala and he's the one that took my mom's car,

1:15:41.400 --> 1:15:43.240
<v Speaker 8>parked it like way around the corner. So we went

1:15:43.320 --> 1:15:45.800
<v Speaker 8>to the movies and then get out the movies and

1:15:45.960 --> 1:15:49.080
<v Speaker 8>then you know, the car's missing, and my Mom's like

1:15:49.120 --> 1:15:53.280
<v Speaker 8>all devastated. And then six minutes later before like we

1:15:53.360 --> 1:15:55.120
<v Speaker 8>bring the cops and said, no, I gotta tell the cops.

1:15:55.200 --> 1:15:56.280
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, Mom, no, no no.

1:15:56.479 --> 1:16:03.880
<v Speaker 8>And then suddenly the shiny new bug is right there,

1:16:03.920 --> 1:16:06.920
<v Speaker 8>and I'm like Mary Christmas man this this year, this

1:16:07.080 --> 1:16:08.599
<v Speaker 8>is like the first gift I've ever given her.

1:16:09.160 --> 1:16:14.840
<v Speaker 2>So because again Mherschel, they told their story in a

1:16:14.960 --> 1:16:16.880
<v Speaker 2>minute and twenty and it was two of them.

1:16:22.840 --> 1:16:25.479
<v Speaker 3>That was just does not act.

1:16:26.920 --> 1:16:28.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay. So before we get out of it, before we

1:16:29.120 --> 1:16:30.880
<v Speaker 2>before we finished with all the guests, I got to

1:16:31.120 --> 1:16:33.080
<v Speaker 2>just two more left, two more left that I want

1:16:33.120 --> 1:16:37.439
<v Speaker 2>to run past you. And the next one, Emir, I

1:16:37.520 --> 1:16:39.360
<v Speaker 2>want you to listen closely to his story. I actually

1:16:39.360 --> 1:16:42.519
<v Speaker 2>sent this to Fontaine ahead of time because it actually

1:16:42.720 --> 1:16:45.679
<v Speaker 2>answers a lot of questions about the way you acted

1:16:45.720 --> 1:16:48.840
<v Speaker 2>when we went and visited this person and interviewed them

1:16:49.240 --> 1:16:53.240
<v Speaker 2>for QLs. Bill and Steve. Y'all will get it once

1:16:53.320 --> 1:16:56.080
<v Speaker 2>I hit play. Did y'all too remember how Amir was

1:16:56.160 --> 1:16:58.759
<v Speaker 2>acting when we went to LA to interview this person.

1:16:59.640 --> 1:17:02.720
<v Speaker 36>Hey, baby face, here, I want to give you a

1:17:02.760 --> 1:17:05.600
<v Speaker 36>special shout out for your fiftieth birthday. And I know

1:17:05.680 --> 1:17:08.320
<v Speaker 36>we're supposed to tell a special story. So here's the

1:17:08.400 --> 1:17:11.600
<v Speaker 36>story I want to tell. Years ago, when I met you,

1:17:12.800 --> 1:17:15.759
<v Speaker 36>we met through a mutual friend of ours, Chloe Flower.

1:17:16.160 --> 1:17:17.960
<v Speaker 12>She was here working at the studio.

1:17:18.120 --> 1:17:20.760
<v Speaker 36>And she told me that you were coming by and

1:17:20.880 --> 1:17:23.479
<v Speaker 36>she told me that you were the biggest fan of mine.

1:17:23.560 --> 1:17:25.639
<v Speaker 3>You were a huge fan. You knew everything, You knew

1:17:25.680 --> 1:17:27.680
<v Speaker 3>everything about me, and you would love me.

1:17:27.760 --> 1:17:30.960
<v Speaker 36>And you see, he loves you, and so I said,

1:17:31.000 --> 1:17:33.200
<v Speaker 36>well that's great because I'm a big fan of his too,

1:17:33.320 --> 1:17:35.479
<v Speaker 36>So you know, I want to meet him, tell him

1:17:35.479 --> 1:17:37.439
<v Speaker 36>come in the studio. She said, nah, he's just gonna

1:17:37.439 --> 1:17:39.960
<v Speaker 36>stop at the corner and pick me up. So I

1:17:40.080 --> 1:17:42.400
<v Speaker 36>walked down to the corner to the gas station to

1:17:43.400 --> 1:17:46.120
<v Speaker 36>meet you, and so Chloy gets in the car and

1:17:46.200 --> 1:17:48.080
<v Speaker 36>I looked at it and say, oh my god, I

1:17:48.120 --> 1:17:49.360
<v Speaker 36>look look at that's quest Love.

1:17:49.439 --> 1:17:50.120
<v Speaker 3>That's quest Love.

1:17:50.160 --> 1:17:53.360
<v Speaker 7>And you look at me and you go like, what's

1:17:53.479 --> 1:17:54.920
<v Speaker 7>up whatever.

1:17:55.920 --> 1:18:00.120
<v Speaker 36>I'm like, that can't be the mirror that's big and

1:18:00.880 --> 1:18:03.400
<v Speaker 36>supposed to know all my stuff, and he didn't. The

1:18:03.840 --> 1:18:05.920
<v Speaker 36>Quest Love and a Mirror must be two different people.

1:18:08.040 --> 1:18:11.479
<v Speaker 36>I thought, Quest Love and a Mirror with two different people.

1:18:11.760 --> 1:18:14.720
<v Speaker 36>I had no idea you were the same person. And

1:18:14.880 --> 1:18:17.280
<v Speaker 36>that was I didn't really know until we did the

1:18:17.360 --> 1:18:20.519
<v Speaker 36>podcast together. Dan realized you actually do kind of know

1:18:20.800 --> 1:18:22.800
<v Speaker 36>the stuff I've done. And I was a fan of

1:18:22.880 --> 1:18:24.479
<v Speaker 36>yours and you were a fan of mine. So it

1:18:24.600 --> 1:18:27.120
<v Speaker 36>all walked out ultimately. So I want to wish your

1:18:27.120 --> 1:18:30.960
<v Speaker 36>happy birthday to a mirror and quest Love. Happy fifty.

1:18:33.720 --> 1:18:39.200

<v Speaker 3>right right?

1:18:41.280 --> 1:18:43.160
<v Speaker 2>Why back to when we was at LA and me

1:18:43.240 --> 1:18:45.559
<v Speaker 2>and Fante was all excited singing up, singing to shoot

1:18:45.640 --> 1:18:46.599
<v Speaker 2>him up, bang bang song.

<v Speaker 3>He was like, he was like, no, guys, no chill,

1:18:49.120 --> 1:18:50.360
<v Speaker 3>She'd be professional, right right.

1:18:51.200 --> 1:18:54.000

1:23:44.000 --> 1:23:49.440
<v Speaker 10>Like to play half security guard, half like, you know, Okay,

1:23:49.520 --> 1:23:51.360
<v Speaker 10>here's what I'm going to do if there's an emergency

1:23:51.439 --> 1:23:53.959
<v Speaker 10>whatever in the back of my mind, and that includes

1:23:54.200 --> 1:23:57.559
<v Speaker 10>winding staircases, you know, like I'll just on the side

1:23:57.560 --> 1:23:59.240
<v Speaker 10>of my eye and keep an eye on this dude.

1:23:59.240 --> 1:24:01.880
<v Speaker 3>If you slip, maybe I can catch him, get a raise,

1:24:02.439 --> 1:24:03.479
<v Speaker 3>you know, something like that.

1:24:05.479 --> 1:24:08.800
<v Speaker 10>But I never actually wanted him to fall directly on

1:24:08.960 --> 1:24:13.040
<v Speaker 10>top of me, And that's what happened. Dude took a

1:24:13.120 --> 1:24:16.280
<v Speaker 10>fall down down the bb King winding staircase on the

1:24:16.320 --> 1:24:19.519
<v Speaker 10>way downstairs to the venue and just landed right on

1:24:19.600 --> 1:24:20.040
<v Speaker 10>top of me.

1:24:20.240 --> 1:24:25.200
<v Speaker 3>And took Steve with him, took down. He broke my fall. Yeah,

1:24:49.720 --> 1:24:58.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, you know it was that year? Yeah, gott I'm sorry.

1:24:58.960 --> 1:25:00.479
<v Speaker 3>No, I mean, I've got plenty of stories, but I'm

1:25:00.479 --> 1:25:06.920
<v Speaker 3>saving them off my book and Sugar Network Publishing. Yes, Zara,

1:25:06.960 --> 1:25:11.439
<v Speaker 3>I think she knows things about you. Please, yes, Steven Zara,

1:25:11.800 --> 1:25:17.919
<v Speaker 3>all the bodies, I'll go, Steve.

1:25:18.560 --> 1:25:21.080
<v Speaker 4>Amir, you and I met working on the Hamilton Record,

1:25:21.200 --> 1:25:24.880
<v Speaker 4>and then you invited me to be on this podcast,

1:25:25.360 --> 1:25:27.679
<v Speaker 4>to in fact be the first person on this podcast,

1:25:28.240 --> 1:25:30.720
<v Speaker 4>and that was one of the most bizarre nights of

1:25:30.760 --> 1:25:35.000
<v Speaker 4>my entire life. But what my story is about is

1:25:35.200 --> 1:25:38.599
<v Speaker 4>is we've seen each other every like for a while,

1:25:38.720 --> 1:25:41.600
<v Speaker 4>like every week for many years. So then whenever I

1:25:41.640 --> 1:25:45.680
<v Speaker 4>would see you not at a quest love taping. You

1:25:45.760 --> 1:25:49.080
<v Speaker 4>would not recognize me and reintroduce yourself to me. And

1:25:49.200 --> 1:25:51.880
<v Speaker 4>this happens all the time. So like I would be

1:25:51.920 --> 1:25:53.679
<v Speaker 4>at a wedding that you would be DJing and I'd

1:25:53.720 --> 1:25:55.760
<v Speaker 4>be like a meyr and you'd be like hey man,

1:25:56.080 --> 1:25:58.000
<v Speaker 4>and they put out your arm and I'd be like,

1:25:58.160 --> 1:26:00.920
<v Speaker 4>it's me. And then and the second time he'd be

1:26:00.920 --> 1:26:02.720
<v Speaker 4>like blah blah blah blah. I was like, dude, it's me.

1:26:02.960 --> 1:26:05.080
<v Speaker 4>He's like, you look like my accountant, and I was

1:26:05.120 --> 1:26:05.519
<v Speaker 4>like fair.

1:26:06.280 --> 1:26:08.280
<v Speaker 3>I was to change every time.

1:26:08.439 --> 1:26:11.920
<v Speaker 8>Bill, you you had five major hairstyles and the beard

1:26:12.040 --> 1:26:13.840
<v Speaker 8>hair com You're like a story character.

1:26:13.960 --> 1:26:16.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry, what are you talking about?

1:26:16.439 --> 1:26:16.479
<v Speaker 7>You?

1:26:16.720 --> 1:26:18.760
<v Speaker 4>Sometimes you are in your Marvin Gay hat, sometimes you're

1:26:18.800 --> 1:26:20.240
<v Speaker 4>in your fro thing, sometimes.

1:26:19.920 --> 1:26:21.880
<v Speaker 3>You're in your twenty twenty.

1:26:22.000 --> 1:26:25.360
<v Speaker 8>But yes, mate, if you had, if you had a

1:26:25.400 --> 1:26:28.320
<v Speaker 8>consistent hairstyle for a year, I promise you I would

1:26:28.360 --> 1:26:31.799
<v Speaker 8>have known that was my partner, Bill Hamlet.

1:26:32.680 --> 1:26:34.000
<v Speaker 3>Whatever I mean.

1:26:34.160 --> 1:26:36.960
<v Speaker 8>It was awesome, glad because I thought you were going

1:26:37.040 --> 1:26:38.840
<v Speaker 8>to get at me for stealing a lot of big

1:26:38.880 --> 1:26:39.559
<v Speaker 8>birds feathers.

1:26:39.640 --> 1:26:40.439
<v Speaker 3>Okay, oh well that too.

1:26:40.520 --> 1:26:42.960
<v Speaker 4>We go into that later. I know where the muppets

1:26:42.960 --> 1:26:46.240
<v Speaker 4>are buried. All right, quiette, Happy birthday. Fonte's your turn,

1:26:46.360 --> 1:26:46.640
<v Speaker 4>thank you?

1:26:47.280 --> 1:26:48.160
<v Speaker 3>Oh man, it's my turn.

1:26:48.200 --> 1:26:52.479
<v Speaker 11>Okay, man, I guess for me, you know, our history

1:26:52.640 --> 1:26:56.280
<v Speaker 11>goes back to that sordid corner of the Internet known

1:26:56.320 --> 1:27:01.000
<v Speaker 11>as Okay player. But uh, you know, with my group

1:27:01.040 --> 1:27:02.840
<v Speaker 11>little Brother, and just the way you championed us, and

1:27:03.320 --> 1:27:05.400
<v Speaker 11>you know, man, I just think, you know, for me,

1:27:06.960 --> 1:27:09.360
<v Speaker 11>you know, I think we was texting the other night,

1:27:09.760 --> 1:27:11.760
<v Speaker 11>just on some silly shit. I don't even know what

1:27:11.800 --> 1:27:13.200
<v Speaker 11>he was talking about, but it was just one of

1:27:13.280 --> 1:27:17.640
<v Speaker 11>these epic amere texts, and and I just remember just thinking, like, Yo,

1:27:19.840 --> 1:27:22.720
<v Speaker 11>the kid who you know, snuck out of school to

1:27:22.840 --> 1:27:25.560
<v Speaker 11>go by ill a death half life, you know, you know,

1:27:25.760 --> 1:27:29.720
<v Speaker 11>and you know, and with left campus illegally, you know

1:27:29.760 --> 1:27:31.720
<v Speaker 11>what I'm saying, to go get this shit like he

1:27:31.840 --> 1:27:33.720
<v Speaker 11>would be freaking the fuck out right now to ever

1:27:33.840 --> 1:27:35.640
<v Speaker 11>think that there was a possibility that me and the

1:27:35.720 --> 1:27:38.560
<v Speaker 11>Mirror would actually have conversations and actually be friends, you know.

1:27:38.800 --> 1:27:42.040
<v Speaker 11>And uh, and that's something that you know, regardless of

1:27:42.120 --> 1:27:45.960
<v Speaker 11>the fact that however long I've been doing this podcast

1:27:46.040 --> 1:27:47.760
<v Speaker 11>and like we've known each other, that's something that I

1:27:48.120 --> 1:27:49.000
<v Speaker 11>never take for granted.

1:27:49.160 --> 1:27:51.320
<v Speaker 3>And that's something that I tell people.

1:27:51.400 --> 1:27:54.000
<v Speaker 11>You know, when I first started doing this, I had

1:27:54.040 --> 1:27:56.600
<v Speaker 11>to let motherfuckers know up front, Like, listen, I'm not

1:27:56.760 --> 1:27:59.560
<v Speaker 11>the quest love whisperer. Okay, you know what I'm saying, Like,

1:27:59.720 --> 1:28:03.000
<v Speaker 11>I'm not the quest love plug. Like you know, me

1:28:03.120 --> 1:28:04.920
<v Speaker 11>and him, you know, we have a men and mirror,

1:28:04.960 --> 1:28:07.800
<v Speaker 11>you know, have a good relationship. And the reason why

1:28:07.880 --> 1:28:10.160
<v Speaker 11>we're able to keep that good relationship is because I

1:28:10.240 --> 1:28:12.599
<v Speaker 11>don't come to him with bullshit, you know what I'm saying.

1:28:12.720 --> 1:28:15.200
<v Speaker 11>And I respect your time, and I respect where you are,

1:28:15.720 --> 1:28:18.080
<v Speaker 11>and you know, I just don't be calling you for

1:28:18.200 --> 1:28:19.479
<v Speaker 11>no frivolous shit, you know what I mean.

1:28:19.600 --> 1:28:20.800
<v Speaker 3>And that means a lot to me.

1:28:21.320 --> 1:28:23.519
<v Speaker 11>And you know, man, I just look at just hearing

1:28:23.560 --> 1:28:25.080
<v Speaker 11>all the stories of all the people that came on,

1:28:25.320 --> 1:28:27.880
<v Speaker 11>and you know, it really just makes me think of

1:28:28.080 --> 1:28:32.479
<v Speaker 11>just how how thin like sometimes just the line between

1:28:32.560 --> 1:28:36.479
<v Speaker 11>success and obscurity is another person believing in you, and

1:28:36.840 --> 1:28:39.880
<v Speaker 11>you know, just you know it really you know, somebody

1:28:39.960 --> 1:28:42.280
<v Speaker 11>like Don that was just you know, she was a bartender,

1:28:42.360 --> 1:28:45.280
<v Speaker 11>and somebody like Tina that was just doing you know,

1:28:45.479 --> 1:28:48.800
<v Speaker 11>doing whatever, and now she's coming like this huge person. Yeah,

1:28:48.880 --> 1:28:51.040
<v Speaker 11>you know what I mean, Angie, you know what I'm saying,

1:28:51.479 --> 1:28:55.320
<v Speaker 11>like everybody, and you know, I think just as we

1:28:55.479 --> 1:28:58.120
<v Speaker 11>get older in life, you know you Fitty. I mean,

1:28:58.160 --> 1:29:00.759
<v Speaker 11>I just turned forty two, but you know, you've definitely

1:29:00.800 --> 1:29:03.240
<v Speaker 11>been a model for me and the way I kind

1:29:03.280 --> 1:29:06.040
<v Speaker 11>of look at my life and career going and defining

1:29:06.280 --> 1:29:08.960
<v Speaker 11>a legacy. I don't think a legacy is defined by

1:29:09.040 --> 1:29:11.760
<v Speaker 11>what you do. I think a legacy is defined by

1:29:11.800 --> 1:29:13.680
<v Speaker 11>the people that you help. You know what I mean,

1:29:13.800 --> 1:29:16.920
<v Speaker 11>because they become your legacy is when other people go

1:29:17.080 --> 1:29:19.000
<v Speaker 11>on to do great things and you can say, well, yo,

1:29:19.080 --> 1:29:21.240
<v Speaker 11>well you know this was the dude that put me on.

1:29:21.479 --> 1:29:23.200
<v Speaker 11>You know what I'm saying, Emir gave me this shot,

1:29:23.240 --> 1:29:24.880
<v Speaker 11>and you know what I'm saying, I remember my first gig,

1:29:25.000 --> 1:29:27.080
<v Speaker 11>you know, like those things are important man, and so

1:29:27.200 --> 1:29:28.800
<v Speaker 11>and it's not a lot of people in the game

1:29:28.840 --> 1:29:33.160
<v Speaker 11>who would really do that selflessly, as as Shange said,

1:29:33.200 --> 1:29:35.960
<v Speaker 11>that just can give it and not expect nothing in return.

1:29:36.040 --> 1:29:37.280
<v Speaker 3>But just yo, I believe in you.

1:29:37.439 --> 1:29:39.280
<v Speaker 11>I think you dope, So I'm gonna put you on,

1:29:39.600 --> 1:29:41.760
<v Speaker 11>you know what I mean, And you know, and that

1:29:41.840 --> 1:29:43.479
<v Speaker 11>means a lot, man, I never take that for granted,

1:29:43.520 --> 1:29:45.880
<v Speaker 11>and so I just thank you just for everything. You

1:29:45.920 --> 1:29:48.599
<v Speaker 11>know what I'm saying, just for bringing me into your

1:29:48.880 --> 1:29:51.559
<v Speaker 11>universe as crazy and fucking disorganized as it.

1:29:51.560 --> 1:29:58.439
<v Speaker 3>Can be sometimes. But you know I wouldn't it. I wouldn't.

1:29:58.520 --> 1:29:59.040
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't.

1:29:59.320 --> 1:30:01.120
<v Speaker 11>I wouldn't schae for nothing else, brother, And I just

1:30:01.240 --> 1:30:03.800
<v Speaker 11>thankful for your face and your loyalty, man, And you

1:30:03.880 --> 1:30:05.880
<v Speaker 11>know I love you and just wish you fifty more

1:30:05.920 --> 1:30:06.479
<v Speaker 11>broke for real.

1:30:06.720 --> 1:30:08.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, all I appreciate it. Thank you.

1:30:09.080 --> 1:30:13.920
<v Speaker 2>All right, let me say something real quick. So let

1:30:14.000 --> 1:30:16.760
<v Speaker 2>me say this. Although I've met a mir when I

1:30:16.960 --> 1:30:20.760
<v Speaker 2>was I was a teenager, it's been a long interesting ride.

1:30:20.960 --> 1:30:24.439
<v Speaker 2>Like from the moment we met, we clipped and we

1:30:24.680 --> 1:30:26.920
<v Speaker 2>just clicked. We had things in common, we laughed, we

1:30:27.000 --> 1:30:29.160
<v Speaker 2>had fun together. And even when I went to college,

1:30:29.360 --> 1:30:31.800
<v Speaker 2>as you were going on your evolution and the band

1:30:31.920 --> 1:30:34.559
<v Speaker 2>was growing, you never never forgot you come to Atlanta

1:30:34.680 --> 1:30:36.519
<v Speaker 2>when I was in school in Atlanta. Can I come

1:30:36.560 --> 1:30:38.840
<v Speaker 2>to the show. Yes, I see a mirror when I

1:30:38.960 --> 1:30:42.200
<v Speaker 2>graduated college and I moved to Atlanta, I mean when

1:30:42.240 --> 1:30:46.960
<v Speaker 2>I moved to Philly again, more mirror growing our relationship

1:30:47.040 --> 1:30:49.200
<v Speaker 2>and whatnot and you know, it's been a lot of

1:30:49.320 --> 1:30:51.960
<v Speaker 2>movie trips. It's been a lot of South Street diners,

1:30:52.000 --> 1:30:53.960
<v Speaker 2>a lot of you falling to sleep on me and

1:30:54.040 --> 1:30:58.400
<v Speaker 2>the movies learn about that. There's been a lot of

1:30:58.520 --> 1:31:01.680
<v Speaker 2>arguments and fights. And it's funny because the Philadelphia I

1:31:01.760 --> 1:31:03.519
<v Speaker 2>was long too. For the longest I was known as

1:31:03.560 --> 1:31:05.800
<v Speaker 2>the Roots Warrior. Don't say nothing bad about the Roots

1:31:05.840 --> 1:31:07.559
<v Speaker 2>on the radio. Light is gonna come at you, even

1:31:07.600 --> 1:31:09.920
<v Speaker 2>if your name is jay Z, which I did, because

1:31:10.080 --> 1:31:12.599
<v Speaker 2>those my boys, and I know who the fuck they are?

1:31:12.760 --> 1:31:15.120
<v Speaker 2>They fucking dope. Why why you ain't doing nothing extra?

1:31:15.280 --> 1:31:19.400
<v Speaker 2>You just like MCA. I'm sorry, flashback, I'm sorry. So

1:31:22.760 --> 1:31:26.080
<v Speaker 2>but throughout this ride, you know, it's just been. It's been.

1:31:26.280 --> 1:31:29.640
<v Speaker 2>It's been beautiful and even you've just shown me so

1:31:29.760 --> 1:31:33.760
<v Speaker 2>many things, from going to Prince's house to sitting at

1:31:33.800 --> 1:31:36.600
<v Speaker 2>a table with jay Z, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige and

1:31:36.680 --> 1:31:38.640
<v Speaker 2>all these people and wondering what I'm doing here. Oh,

1:31:38.680 --> 1:31:41.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm chaperoning a mirror his date. Oh whatever day gets

1:31:41.560 --> 1:31:46.800
<v Speaker 2>to be here. But from all those to those moments

1:31:46.840 --> 1:31:48.280
<v Speaker 2>whenever I would call you and say can you come

1:31:48.320 --> 1:31:49.760
<v Speaker 2>on the radio real quick talk about this? Can you

1:31:49.800 --> 1:31:51.080
<v Speaker 2>come on the radio real quick and talk about that

1:31:51.240 --> 1:31:53.960
<v Speaker 2>like you always did well. Nine times out of ten.

1:31:54.080 --> 1:31:57.240
<v Speaker 2>You always did so for those reasons because we were

1:31:57.320 --> 1:31:59.200
<v Speaker 2>born on the same birthday and we know at our

1:31:59.320 --> 1:32:01.360
<v Speaker 2>very essence we are too alike, and that'd be our

1:32:01.439 --> 1:32:05.920
<v Speaker 2>problem because I will stay being the Lucy to your Charlie.

1:32:06.479 --> 1:32:09.280
<v Speaker 2>A mere Cayleb Thompson, I love your ass even though

1:32:09.280 --> 1:32:18.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't like you all the time, yea, y'all, and

1:32:18.360 --> 1:32:21.000
<v Speaker 2>before I know, because don't think I ain't smart, okay,

1:32:21.120 --> 1:32:23.240
<v Speaker 2>because we all know this now. One last thing.

1:32:23.680 --> 1:32:24.840
<v Speaker 3>Flower is the last flower.

1:32:25.080 --> 1:32:28.840
<v Speaker 2>The last flower A long year and maybe I think

1:32:28.880 --> 1:32:30.320
<v Speaker 2>it's been a year and a half, but I think

1:32:30.400 --> 1:32:32.760
<v Speaker 2>all of us on this show have noticed a very

1:32:33.439 --> 1:32:38.920
<v Speaker 2>speedy evolution of Amir cab Thompson. And we also know

1:32:39.080 --> 1:32:46.439
<v Speaker 2>that one of the major reasons and the person keeping

1:32:46.520 --> 1:32:49.360
<v Speaker 2>him on that dig Gregory mentally, spiritually and everything else.

1:32:50.120 --> 1:32:55.320

<v Speaker 8>This is the probably the most beautiful birthday. This is

1:35:40.640 --> 1:35:43.360

1:35:49.520 --> 1:35:51.679

<v Speaker 8>resistant to this. Not resistant, but I don't do this

1:36:51.840 --> 1:36:57.120

<v Speaker 8>somehow decided, okay, I'll do that, like just not uh

1:37:16.640 --> 1:37:19.160
<v Speaker 8>not celebrate too much, because I've always come from a

1:37:19.200 --> 1:37:21.640
<v Speaker 8>place like if you celebrate, then it'll be over, and

1:37:21.880 --> 1:37:22.960
<v Speaker 8>I never wanted to be over.

1:37:23.120 --> 1:37:26.120
<v Speaker 3>But ah, god, well your forties are over, that's for sure.
