We have a very special 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.960 guest coming up soon. So this morning, what happened was 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:29.800 I went to the grocery store because I made chili 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:31.400 and I had to go get the chili fixes. And 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:33.760 there was a lady who was quite disturbed in the 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.840 grocery store. That's why I'm gonna call her disturbed in 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.280 the grocery store this one. And she physically attacked me. 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.080 We were standing in line, black woman and she was 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:46.440 black ya. She was nap mind you, she was nampolar 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:48.440 crazy when I tell you, if the cats was in 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.200 the ali running through her brains. And so she didn't 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:52.800 have the money to pay for her stuff, and so 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:54.560 she was like, well, let the manager pay for when 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:56.800 I'm a customer, let him pay for and the cash. 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:58.840 She was like, what, we don't do that, and so 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:02.560 I snickered like and she turned around and read me, honey, 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:04.200 what the hell are you laughing at? What are you? 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:07.200 I don't even know what you are when I tell you. 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:10.520 I read that woman from upside down to backwards and sideways. 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:12.079 And she got up in my face and she got 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.760 in my personal space and she started going on her 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:16.840 and she started going in her bag and she was 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.120 gonna do something. I wasn't afraid of what was in 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:22.160 her bag, but the the the offensive smell that was 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.280 coming out of her mouth made me push that woman. 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:26.359 I pushed that woman down on the ground. Oh yeah, 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:27.799 the police probably looking for me. So if I go 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:31.480 to jail for assault, I wasn't assaulted. I was attacked 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:33.840 by her breath, she said. I told her. She said, 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.240 I'm not ugly, I'm beautiful. I said, girl, don't nobody 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.280 think you beautiful? And you ugly and you're crazy? And 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:41.640 she said, you assaulted me. I said, your breath took 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:45.320 three years off my life, bitch, and baby, the police 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:48.240 having everything, but you know I'm good and clean.

How are you? 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:45.280 I'm not chopping it off again? There, I'm doing all right. 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.080 So Lauren, you're headed out of town again? Uh? Once again? Yes, 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.800 I am on the road again. You're excited about it 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:53.880 or you're like Nick, I'm just over you know, I 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:57.800 used to travel like seven pre print pre pandemic is 0:05:57.839 --> 0:05:59.720 a part of my job, and like I enjoyed it 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.240 and and I started to hate it. So sitting still 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:05.640 for a year was great. But now getting back into it, 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:09.000 I'm like, whoa, I didn't really miss this that much 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:11.640 because you know, I used to come home for twenty 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:13.240 four hours just to sleep in my bed. I was 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:16.040 just telling Trouble this in Kendall, like I wanted my 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:17.960 bed that badly because I was gone so much. So, 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.600 the fact that things are starting to turn back into that, 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.160 I'm not very excited about it. But I gotta keep 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.200 my status on Delta. Who's in there? Who's in the 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:28.960 be with you? Though? It's the question um des me 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:36.200 minding my business anyway. But I'm going to New Orleans 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:38.440 tonight and then I'll be there till Thursday, and then 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.280 I'm going to Atlanta and then I'll be able to 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:41.800 come back home. So I'll be gone for about a week. 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.480 Where are you, Mrs Smith? Because you're not home? Where 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:48.960 are you? Right? You was traveling to where'd you go? Uh? First, 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.240 I'm not on vacation plane. You know. You keep saying 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:54.920 that I work. Ever I know where you don't work. 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:00.279 See how the internet stops you from telling that line. 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:02.200 You see how God he is. You see how God 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:13.280 interrupted that line. You got to repeat, iculous repeat that 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:19.880 you hadn't win, you hadn't win. Yes, i am in Provincetown, Massachusetts. 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:23.800 So I'm still here in Peatown and I am working 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:26.360 from here, so I've not taken any time off, but 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:28.200 I am. I am working. I'm just working from here. 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:32.720 So that's it. It's super hot right now in Arkansas. Unfortunately, 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.680 because of the pandemic, we've had the ability to work 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:38.920 remotely and uh we use green screen now, which also 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.120 helps for this show. So it's all like really kind 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:44.600 of working together. Arkansas is on fire for a couple 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.400 of reasons. Arkansas and numbers for the pandemic is really 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:51.280 really high right now, you know, flame Unlike unlike California. 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:53.880 You know, we've really never had a mask mandate. Um not. 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:57.560 You know we people were anti the vaccine, people were 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.760 anti It's real. There's a lot happening there, and we 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:04.040 didn't necessarily have leadership that pushed people or encourage them 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:07.400 to get more information. So we're now feeling the brunt 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.280 of it. So, yes, it's very true. Well, I mean 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:13.680 in truth, so numbers are going up everywhere, like California. 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:15.760 I think we just had two thousand new cases yesterday. 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:19.120 So yeah, it's it's getting starting to get bad everywhere 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:20.800 with the different of I think we have two new 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:23.720 variants now. So and I saw fightsers like ope, you 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:25.960 gotta get a third dose, and I'm like, oh glad, 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.360 I was got vaccinate with Maderna. We started a little 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:30.000 late today, but I got a special guests and time 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:32.120 is money, and I hate to waste people's time because 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.640 I hate people to waste mine. So before I bring 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.480 my very special guest song whose name is Keisha Grandy. 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.400 This is Keisha Grandy. Here, hold on, let me show you. 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:46.840 Keisha Grandy is a recording artist and she's also an actress. 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:50.000 An actress. She's saying with Kurk Franklin and the Family. 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.559 She was in Tyler Perry's play I Can Do Bad 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.719 All by Myself. She has this new music out, this 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:59.560 new CD called it Pitome. She is a religious woman 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:01.600 who loves us in Lord. She's had a new marriage 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:08.240 and she saved my life. Um, maybe about ago, do 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:09.880 you want to talk about that more? You just want 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:11.400 to move on? When we bring her on, we will 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:14.199 talk about it. More with her. Nick finished what you 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:17.199 were saying though, because you you were all staticky. But 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:20.360 we can see you now. Oh sounds good. Sorry about that, ladies. Um, 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.199 it looks like there's also an issue now, Lauren with 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.400 the Johnson and Johnson beckseye that it could have something 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.839 to do with the nerve agent. So it looks like 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:31.280 this is still all over the place, and it's unfortunate 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:34.400 because again this helps to discourage some people who are 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:38.439 already fearful about the information. Are you talking to me? No, 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:42.240 you know that. You said, Hey, I don't think it 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:45.280 helps anybody playing when with the information is either inconsistent 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.880 or you know, um, these new revelations keep you know, 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:52.319 causing doubts. So yeah, definitely, it's the struggle that has 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:54.240 always been my issue. It's not that I do not 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:57.559 trust the science. I don't trust the scientists behind it. 0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:01.520 Right now, well I said, I'm not taking anymore shots. 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:03.679 I did. I did my two with Maderna. I'm good 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:06.880 And whatever protection I got is just what I got, 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.800 because I'm not going through protected. Every time you come here. 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:11.880 You see that can over that that blue can, That 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:14.439 blue can says light song and it's the old lights 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:16.320 off because when you have you seen the news lights 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:20.679 of coronavirus, the new the new ones don't oh they don't. Oh, 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:22.800 they took it off, so you had to get your 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:24.959 lights out of pre pandemic or doing the early part 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:27.400 of the pandemic. The new cands of lights out don't 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:32.280 say kills coronavirus. I got the old ones. Um, So 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:34.319 let me ask you, do we wanna, you know, kind 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.320 of start with some of the topics we talked about, 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:37.840 or do you want to talk with Keisha right now? 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:39.480 I want to bring Keisha in right now because she's 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:41.720 been waiting and I'm excited to bring her home.

And it's 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:20.240 interesting to how music can really get you through, you know, 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:22.599 a tough time, you know, And we've talked about that 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:24.680 with some of our other guests, you know, like Common 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.000 and what music has meant to him, you know, during 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.800 the time of a pandemic. So I think it's really 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:34.920 important to touch on how music can actually really save 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.839 people's lives.

Well, Kisha, we do want to give 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:23.280 you a proper introduction. You are a singer, you are 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:27.520 an actress, You are a songwriter. You have quite the resume. 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:31.040 You know, you're best known for your appearances and Sideline 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.520 Confessions and also Tyler Perry's I Can do Bad all 0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:37.440 by myself. You've worked with Kirk Franklin. You know you've 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:40.840 done You've created some amazing pieces of work. So I 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:43.560 think I want to start off by asking you know, 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:45.800 whats so far that you've done has been your most 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:50.800 impactful project or this meant the most to you so far? UM, 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:54.360 My most impactful has been doing the stage played with 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:58.000 Tyler Perry. I know I can do bad all by myself. Um, 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:00.960 if you're a church head, people will definitely say with 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:03.760 Kirk Franklin. But all of it has been a blessing 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:07.280 to me. I've worked with two of the most influential 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:11.040 people in their areas and I not too many people 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:14.240 can say that, And for that, I am very very 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:17.360 grateful for the opportunities that have been presented to me. 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:22.240 Absolutely so the so the play. Let me let me 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:25.000 just take you out here. Let me tell y'all about 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:28.040 thirteen years ago. I was going through a horrible breakup 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:29.840 with my baby mom, my daughter's mom, because I had 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:32.320 two daby mamas, both names, y'all know the story anyway, 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:34.600 the second one was the one I was hit over 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:37.400 here was crazy in love with, and she left and 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:39.760 left me with a three year old, a three month old, 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:42.960 and three and a half year old. And I didn't 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:45.360 want to be here. I was hurt, I was broken, 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:48.520 I was displaced, I was disgruntled, I was angry, I 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:52.680 was rebellious. Every emotion you could possibly think of I experienced, 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:56.320 and my girlfriend Coco Bancardia, who was my personal makeup artist, 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:58.800 I was at her house in Vegas and I was 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.360 like a fell there, as strong as y'all see me now, 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:04.160 like a tank. I'll say what I want to say. 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:07.040 I was. I was gone, every piece of me was. 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:11.680 And I heard you sing Lord, I'm sorry in the play. 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:13.760 Because I wasn't at the play. I just watched it 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:17.800 on YouTube. And when I tell you, Coco held me 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:20.640 in her bosom the entire night because I wanted to 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:22.760 kill myself. I didn't want that pain anymore. I didn't 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.000 want to be here to me, I didn't care about 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:27.000 my children at that point. I just didn't want I 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:30.200 wanted to pain to stop because I had put this 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.520 woman before God in my life. And then the play. 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:35.400 In the song Lord I'm Sorry that you can get 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:38.280 on YouTube or I tune, she was singing it. She 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:41.000 in the place she put a man before God. You 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:43.440 put a man before God. God is a jealous god. 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:45.800 He takes away. He took her away, and the play, 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.880 he took your husband. When you sing that song, Kesha, 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:53.920 I cried from the trenches of my soul to let 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:56.400 an outcry that I never heard come from me. I 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:58.920 never thought that was that song save my life because 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:01.000 I had to apologize as for putting God on the 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:03.800 back burner for somebody human that didn't care about me 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:06.360 and just did not believe in me. You saved my life, 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:09.680 Kepsha brain and I inbox Keisha and told her you 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:12.160 walked me through a fire and covered me in a storm, 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:14.840 And sister, I adore you. I met your face and Facebook, 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:16.800 I'm just giving you a big virtual hood. I'm gonna 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:18.479 spread your lives out first. I'm giving you a big 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:22.640 virtual hood because I wouldn't be sitting here and I'm 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:25.080 telling you what you did for me. I don't even 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:28.080 know what it had done for somebody else, but you 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:30.239 took me out of a hole that I didn't never 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:32.800 even see the top of. I didn't see the top 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:36.200 of her. I was in the darkness, lost the word. 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:38.520 Let me tell you when you sang that song, Keisha, 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:40.320 because I've seen at that time and imagine y'all did 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:42.720 that play over and over and over. But this one 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:45.520 particular time when they recorded it, which is on YouTube, 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:48.360 what were you going through? Because you sang that song 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:52.920 with emotion, with feeling. This was not just I'm singing 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:55.280 this gospel song because I let the Lord something was 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:58.360 on you too, because it came through the damn Internet 0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:03.000 and grabbed me. Let me tell you, After that curtain 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:08.760 came down, I stayed there on my face before God 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:11.760 because so much was going on in my life at 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:16.080 that time. And yeah, what you felt was what I 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.160 was going through as well. I stayed on my face 0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:23.879 for I know. Intermission was fifteen minutes and I stayed 0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:27.159 on my face for about ten minutes. Somebody had to 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:30.640 come get me because the song, the song is there, 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:33.359 the songs that because you know Tyler wrights most of 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:36.360 his everything and he wrote the lyrics to that song. 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:41.399 So um, I was going through a dark period of 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:43.159 my life at that time as well. I didn't know 0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:46.119 the direction that I was gonna go. I didn't know 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:50.320 what was gonna happen with my life. So yeah, it 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:54.840 hit me like it hits you. Definitely. I m all 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:56.280 I remember and that now I want her to go 0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:58.600 up and want that fan off. I kept hearing turn 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:00.920 the fan off, triple please. I kept hearing all I 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:08.600 can hear in the play is that Tyler By Yeah, Yeah, 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:12.080 And I get it all the times, I ain't get 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:16.119 the pout. I do have to say though, Um, for me, 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:19.919 I always watched Tyler Perry's plays first before I watched 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:22.639 the movie because I think that the plays, while his 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:24.520 movies are good, don't get me wrong, I think the 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:28.520 plays are so much more impactful and they really tell 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:31.480 this like authentic story in this space you know, where 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:35.639 there's healing, you learn something, it's just it's it's so 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:38.000 it's such a beautiful, you know, kind of space to 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:40.080 be in. Like I said, not that the movies aren't great, 0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:42.520 but the plays just have a different impact and you know, 0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:45.080 with your audience because you're really interacting with them and 0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:48.520 you get direct emotion and all of that. So I 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:51.560 want to commend you for your acting skills, your singing 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:54.359 skills and all that you're doing. And congratulations on the 0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:57.080 new album as well. Yeah, Keha, I'm looking at the album. 0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:59.520 I see that you collaborated with Toureal Carter. I know, 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:01.879 too real Card. He's a nice he's a handsome man too. 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:05.920 He's a nice guy. Yes, Terrell and I we toured 0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:10.760 together back in nineties five. Um, it was our Tour 0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:13.080 of life tour. He was singing with Fred Hammond at 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:15.639 the time, and I was with Kirk. So we became 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:19.399 really close on that tour and he's been my friend 0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:23.080 ever since. I mean, no matter what he's doing in life, 0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:25.800 if I call him, he's like, what do you need 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:27.800 for me to do? I'm right there for you. So yeah, 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:30.440 that's that's my heart. Teach you. Let me ask you. 0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:33.280 You also used to sing with Kirk Car and the 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:36.200 Kirk Car Singers. Right then you said you didn't sing 0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:40.000 on for Every Mountain. No, that young lady's name is 0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:42.440 Yvette Williams. No, no, no, not the song. I thought 0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:45.480 you sang with the with the actual choir because I 0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:48.760 was okay. I was in San Mateo a couple of 0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:51.639 weeks ago and I met a producer who used to 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:53.840 work with you there and I told you about that 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:57.639 from the mac family, and she spoke very highly of you. 0:20:57.840 --> 0:20:59.800 She but she was saying that she I thought she 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:01.760 said that you're saying with Kirk Frank, I mean with 0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:04.320 Kirk Carr and the Kirk Carr Singers, One for every Mountain. 0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:07.399 If you never saying another gospel song for me, I 0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:10.000 can listen to the Lord. I'm sorry all day every 0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:12.680 day in the night and the happy times and in 0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:14.399 the same time, because I know what it did for 0:21:14.480 --> 0:21:16.920 me the words Tyler Perry wrote that song. I don't 0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:18.760 know what Tyler Perry was going through, but Tyler Perry, 0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:21.480 Tyler Perry put those words the paper. But you brought 0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:24.960 that song such to life, Keisha, Oh my god? And 0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:26.800 why you based that? Because you do the radio where 0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:32.120
