189
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: our members of the group, who will remain nameless, kind

190
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:38,520

191
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: I'm walking on stage, and so I felt like we

192
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: should stop because you know, maybe we won't get electrocuted.

193
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: But I'm the type of person that I actually want

194

Speaker 1: to play on but I felt bad, so.

195
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,440

00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 4: by Diallo Riddle, Yeah, formerly of The Tonight Show and

354
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 4: uh yeah man. She played a character and she absolutely

355
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 4: killed it. She played a character named Charley, who was

356
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 4: a nineties R and B singer, but she was like

357
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 4: the washed up nineties army. She was like Mary j

358
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 4: never had a hit after my life. Like she was

359
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 4: like a Diana Howard.

360
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 2: Actually, wait, I take that back, because Dina.

361
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: Howard was recently as of this recording still trending on Twitter,

362
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 1: and she came back with T shirt and my panty's own,

363
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: So maybe she was more like a she was like

364
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: Geena Thompson, Like okay, Geena Thompson, you know what I mean.

365
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 2: But uh, and so I had to write songs.

366
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 7: Uh, you wrote fantastic songs, Thank you so much.

367
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 2: And she said you were her songwriter. Yeah, I was

368
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 2: the you were puffy. I was the puff. I was

369
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 2: the puffer. Were you clean or like, where's your character?

370
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 4: The character was, well, I was well outside the show,

371
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 4: like in the real world. I wrote the songs for

372
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 4: and like me and Sunday Cruise. Sunday Cruise, you had

373
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 4: two big hits. Her big hits was Sunday Cruise, which

374
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 4: was like the knockoff Saturday Love, and then Psych which

375
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 4: was like her big nineties bank head bounce in Atlanta.

376
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 2: And so then like that was pretty much what it was.

377
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 2: And so that was in like the real world.

378
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 4: But then in the show, I played Andre and I

379
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,239
Speaker 4: was one of her background dancers that toured with her,

380
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,000

00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 4: can dance, but it was you know, we still had

383
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 4: to learn some ship.

384
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

385
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 4: So that was my first time working with her and

386
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 4: I knew her work, but I had never met her before.

387
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 4: And what we met, she exceeded my expectations total sweetheart,

388
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 4: had a lot of fun on set. We met Keep Sweat.

00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: I was was fixing my prescription in my glasses and

393
00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: he came in like and he he has ad like

394
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 1: the way that he dances like an arch.

00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 2: I know we're in radio, so I can't exactly described,

396
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 2: but he.

398
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: while shame man like.

399
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 2: He talked just like he's saying yeah. He talked just

400
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 2: like he said, yeah, man, Keith, what yesterday? Yeah, so

401
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 2: that was it. That was Atlanta. That was the last

402
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 2: time we did that.

403
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: And yeah, man, she just to So the company didn't

404
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: love a show that's associated with it was a pilot.

405
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 2: We shot a pilot.

406
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: See, but doesn't every pilot kind of sort of suck,

407
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: with the exception of the Sopranos, Like what what pilot?

408
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 7: It didn't suck.

409
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 4: No, the pilot was hilarious. That was even more surprising

410
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 4: to me, Like, you know, wow, but I don't know why.

411
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 7: I think it doesn't always have to do with whether

412
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 7: it's good or not. Honestly, I think it's whatever's on

413
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 7: their slate or who knows to pay attention. If I did,

414
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 7: I'd be too depressed to ever work again.

415
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 2: So you're saying you get your heart broken often.

416
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: Really, I'd figure like, right now, you're just well, I

417
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: guess perception depending on who's watching it.

418
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 2: Well I do.

419
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 7: I have changed my attitude about it so that I

420
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 7: don't get my heart broken.

421
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 2: But you've got an occasional no, and we're going to

422
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 2: give this role to someone else.

423
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I think that happens all the time. It's

424
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 7: part of the you know, it's part of the dystopian

425
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 7: world of being a performer. I think.

426
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 2: So even now as a well established well, I mean.

427
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 7: There's always something I don't think about it. I remember,

428
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 7: I remember the very first time I got cut I

429
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 7: got cut out of the first anchor man, and I

430
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 7: was devastated. It was so fun and I basically played

431
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 7: like an Angela Davis Bank robber.

432
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 2: Hilarious. Yeah, you and Chuck D.

433
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 7: And Chuck D we were bank robbery.

434
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 2: Wait, how did you see it? It got really well.

435
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, I to put it out as like its own

436
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 7: movie because it was like fifty minutes of footage.

437
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 2: Oh that was like, yeah, it's hilarious.

438
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 7: And that was the first time, like I was ever

439
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 7: in something that I could not wait to be, like

440
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 7: to show off about and be proud of being a

441
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 7: part of. And all these guys that were my heroes

442
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 7: and my I was new on us and now new ish, but.

443
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: It was a big deal and so you just had

444
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: to take Will and uh Adam Adam's worried that or

445
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: you trusted not trusted.

446
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 2: Sometimes that happens with the directors, like the time, you know.

447
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 7: And then I and then I remember at the time

448
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 7: I was heartbroken and I talked to Paul about it,

449
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 7: who's all you know already was already like hardened and

450
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 7: gristled by the.

451
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 2: Wait. We're trying to we're trying to maintain what.

452
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 10: Listen, I don't even want to add this because I

453
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 10: wanted you to know that, you know, we're trying to

454
00:22:58,280 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 10: maintain like a profession with the core me.

455
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 2: But like as Maya speaks, like all this constructions to

456
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 2: make chicken because I've had complaints.

457
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: I've had complaints that I've not fed my family here

458
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: at Courts Love Supremes. So now I go way out

459
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: and I've ordered the mother load of Korean fried chicken.

460
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 2: That we cannot eat.

461
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, well you know what it's it's kind of

462
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: weird because first it was mad for Chicken, then it

463
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: was Mama Fuku, and now it's turntable chicken. Like it's

464
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: the same. It's a speakeasy. Have you heard of the

465
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: spot I've heard of. Yeah, yeah, it's a speakeasy spot

466
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: where it's a Korean restaurant, but you go in, it's

467
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: it's like it's hidden on top of a pizza spot.

468
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: And then what's really weird about it is that the

469
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,280

480
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,520

481
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,359

484
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 2: have to have a password.

485
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: And this place is open till seven in the morning,

486
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: and this is the spot you go to after you

487
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: party all night in New York from four a m.

488
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 1: Till about eight a m. It's on like it's overcrowded.

489
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: So even my quest lovedness couldn't just get me in.

490
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: I had to know the password.

491
00:24:59,080 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 7: What was the password?

492
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: I forget?

493
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: I mean, this is like back when it was math

Speaker 2: What's the password? Purple number one.

496
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,119

497
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 1: first of all to be told that their brand of

498

499
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: was like better than your mama's or your grandma's. So

500
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,960

Speaker 7: long ponytail and like had to tucket in his jacket

628
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 7: to hide from the landlady. And they had to like

629
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 7: hide my mom and my brother because they were black,

630
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 7: and so they just got tired of it, I think,

631
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 7: and then they were like looking for places to go

632
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 7: because my mom had just had it with Chicago. And

633
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 7: but you were born in the seventies though, right seventy two,

634
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 7: so that's even then the.

635
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 2: Block was hot.

636
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: Yes, so it's always been Chicago. Has always been in Chicago. Yeah,

637
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: like it's never not been Chicago.

638
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 7: I see, I don't know where they lived exactly. I

639
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 7: know my mom grew up in the South Side, but

640
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 7: I don't know where my parents lived at the time

641
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 7: with my brother, and then they had friends that lived

642
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 7: in this little Gainsville. Gainswell was a college town, so

643
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 7: it was like quiet and a bunch of beause we

644
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 7: only lived there for about a year.

645
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 2: Also, hear that it's the music capital of Florida.

646
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, Tom Petty is from there, and who else.

647
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: My first show there was half the Roots only half

648
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: of us made it, and because we needed the money,

649
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: we still did it. Like I drummed, Rozelle did all

650
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: the music with his mouth, and Tarik rhymed for an

651
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: hour and a half and they're like, dude, this is

652
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: the music Capital Florida and we never seen anything, you know.

653
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: So that's where I learned the history of Kainesville was that.

654
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 2: The lesbian sex Act show. No, no, no, that was yeah, sorry,

655
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 2: everyone gets no.

656
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: There's a four famous lesbian sex Act show that we

657
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: did under an allise at New Eurekan Cafe in New York.

658
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,479
Speaker 2: It was common to Reik myself.

659
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: We just needed a name to make up because we

660
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: couldn't be the roots playing a free gig at.

661
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 2: The New Eyreakan Cafe. So we made up Lesbian sex Act.

662
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 7: And that got butts in seats.

663
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: Yes, we debuted some things fall apart songs then, but

664
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: this is before then. But uh yeah, so you only

665
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: did a year in Kainesville, just.

666
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 7: A year, and then they drove out to la because well,

667
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 7: there's an actual story that I should know, like all

668
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 7: the names of but a guy came from Capital and

669
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 7: fat like my mom thanked him. I remember, I can't

670
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 7: remember guys name. She was like, thank you to so

671
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 7: and so for coming, like coming and rescue me from

672
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 7: the gators. So he she had she had been on chess,

673
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 7: you know, since she was a teenager. She worked at

674
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 7: Chess Records when she was in high school, and she

675
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 7: sang in the Gems, which was the girl group. She

676
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 7: did another name though, well, Andrea Davis was My cousin's

677
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 7: name is Andrew. That's why she was Andrew Davis. But

678
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 7: I don't know. But Andrew Davis had her own like

679
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 7: solo single right, Lonely Girl is the one I know.

680
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 7: And then but she also did backup for stuff and

681
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 7: the only thing I know about that she's not credited for.

682
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 7: But weirdly, like when I was in college, my dad

683
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 7: was like, we just got a royalty check for Rescue

684
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 7: Me the Fontella bass song, So my mom's singing on that.

685
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 7: Like she would basically, you know, be the receptionist and

686
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 7: then if they needed backup, she'd run upstairs and do

687
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 7: back up and then still like man the Desk.

688
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: Couest Love Supreme Trivia Moment. Bill, when we first met,

689
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Boss Bill, not unpaid Bill.

690
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 2: Boss Bill. When we first met, I think you caught

691
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 2: the copy of Thrust by Herbie Hancock. Yeah, how do

692
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:28,399
Speaker 2: you remember that? Who's the lady on taxi on taxi stupid? Yeah?

693
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: I kind of have a Mary Lou Henter musical memory.

694
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: I mean I could tell you, like, you know, the

695
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: amount of times that people misspelled the word on Soul

696
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:38,439
Speaker 1: Train scramble board.

697
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 2: But I can't remember to show up on time to

698
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 2: like my own radio show. So it's like, you know,

699
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 2: it's a thing. No, I'm very imperfect.

700
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 7: Did you hear when I got here?

701
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 2: Well, you know, because they they they deangelouded me. However.

702
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, but my point was that that I copped H

703
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: three Andrea day forty five.

704
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, in Chicago the first day I met Bill.

705
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 7: Wow, so we're connected.

706
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: We're connected already, we're connected. So you guys, uh went

707
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: to lay. This is weird because now if I want

708
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: to find somebody, I could stalk them on the Internet

709
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: or social media.

710
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know how he found how he found her?

711
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 7: Then and then that then the other part of the

712
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 7: so we went, we moved to Laurel Canyon, and then

713
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 7: my mom's like she was set on Stevie Wonder. She

714
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 7: wanted to find Stevie. Wonder.

715
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 2: Wait, we there's one crucial thing. We never said your

716
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 2: mom's name yet, maybe we might want to do that.

717
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 2: Who is your mother? So her mother of course? Uh?

718
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: For those listening to Questlove Supreme only on Pandora, is

719
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 1: is Minnie Riperton?

720
00:36:58,719 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 4: Uh?

721
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 2: Considered to be one of the finest vocalists of all time?

722
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 9: What was there?

723
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 2: What was her octave range?

724
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 7: I've heard five? You know this is she died in

725
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 7: the seventies, so we have no way of proving any

726
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 7: of it. There's no There's a lot of folklore behind it,

727
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 7: for sure. But I've heard five, which is a lot

728
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 7: more than I've I'll just say seven, say.

729
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: Eight perceptions reality, I mean, people will say it and

730
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: then people will believe it true.

731
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 7: We can set it. We can set the record.

732
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:30,879
Speaker 9: Now.

733
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,919
Speaker 4: Seven octave range great, I've actually read seven octaves before

734
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 4: I've read I've read that she has.

735
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 7: I'll be honest, I don't you know, I don't. I

736
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 7: hear so many things I can't. You probably know more

737
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 7: than I do.

738
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 1: I know she can go high. But how what was

739
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: her low register like? Because in order to really be

740
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: five octave range that I don't know. You know your

741
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:52,399
Speaker 1: base game has to be on point.

742
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 7: Well I'm low. I'm nothing but low, And nobody really

743
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 7: has her voice in our family except her speaking voice.

744
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:02,919
Speaker 7: My Auntie Sandres got her speaking boys her her older sister.

745
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 7: She was really close to who who's still one of

746
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 7: her only siblings that's still around. And she sounds a

747
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 7: lot like my mom when I talked to her on

748
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 7: the phone. But she doesn't sing. I mean, I think

749
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 7: when she does, she probably has some of that in there,

750
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 7: but I don't know anybody else in the family who

751
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 7: has it. My mom's brother was a horn player, but siblings.

752
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 7: She was the youngest of eight whoa south side of Chicago,

753
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 7: youngest of eight, so she needed to leave.

754
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 2: Oh he's waiting for an inappropriate comment from vart No

755
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 2: it was not, Well it wasn't, but no, that's the time.

756
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 2: I mean, that makes sense because that was back in

757
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 2: the day.

758
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,800
Speaker 7: Like, well, no, this is true. My grandfather was a

759
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 7: pullman porter, and you know they always said that pullman

760
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 7: porter's always had like you know, he worked for the railroad,

761
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 7: so oways say he had he might have had more kids.

762
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,720
Speaker 7: Importers go from one place to another.

763
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I know that back then I mean at

764
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: least with farm house mentality. The thing is that you

765
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: have a lot of kids so that you can have hands, yeah,

766
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: to work on your farm or Jackson's or you know,

767
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 1: however you.

768
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 2: However you want to put it. So, what was your

769
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 2: first cognizant memory of.

770
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 8: Music?

771
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, just of the environment you grew up in.

772
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: Like you don't remember that Soul Training episode in which

773
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: you were crying through your mom's interview segment.

774
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 7: M I don't remember it, but I remember that all

775
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 7: that that era for me was. I mean we were

776
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 7: on the road with my parents most of the time

777
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,879
Speaker 7: until I started school. So I mean when we were little,

778
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 7: little sometimes they'd go out on the road and they

779
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 7: take us with them, but pretty much, especially when I

780
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 7: was a baby, I think my mom went out on

781
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 7: the road for a minute and then she called my dad.

782
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 7: She was like, you have to come with me.

783
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 8: I can't.

784
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,439
Speaker 7: I can't be without the baby and without you guys.

785
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 7: And so we were on the road a lot. And

786
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 7: I remember being on the road with my parents, like

787
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:11,439
Speaker 7: I remember somebody lost a tooth in like some town

788
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 7: with a casino and we got like a chip or something,

789
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 7: you know, Like I remember like sound check to me

790
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 7: is like I think it was it was me or

791
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 7: my I.

792
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 2: Think it was me, me or my brother, like a

793
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:23,399
Speaker 2: bar fight or something.

794
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 7: No, like like the normal things that happened to a kid.

795
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 7: But the tooth Fairy brought me like a casino chip

796
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 7: because we were in like Lake Tahoe or something. But

797
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 7: like like being on the road was very normal. And

798
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 7: then like see my mom. Yeah, like being being in studios,

799
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 7: being backstage, and like see my mom before the show,

800
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,800
Speaker 7: like before the audience was there. All that is like

801
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 7: tied together as one kind of large memory.

802
00:40:51,480 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 8: Really, Yeah, what would the world.

803
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 7: Be like if everyone saw with their hearts instead of

804
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 7: their eyes?

805
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 2: I guess it would be like your smile, Mile innocent.

806
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 8: Pure.

807
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:19,719

Speaker 8: Like you.

829
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 2: The thing was, now that I know that's you, I

830
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 2: feel like you draw from.

831
00:42:55,600 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: Her, like I I now see you channeling that seventies

832
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:06,720
Speaker 1: soul energy in your acting when you do any singer

833
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: that you do, the way that you talk, like, I

834
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:10,320
Speaker 1: see you channeling that.

835
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 2: Really, do you channel that moment or.

836
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 7: I'm not not consciously? I mean my dad, I wasn't

837
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 7: around the studio lot. My dad did that record because

838
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 7: you know, we didn't have like babysitters and stuff then,

839
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 7: so I would just like spend a lot of time.

840
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,280
Speaker 7: I remember when he was writing behind the He helped

841
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 7: write behind the Groove, and he tell the story like

842
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 7: I would sit in the passenger seat and like he

843
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 7: would with a legal pat and you would say, like

844
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 7: write this down, and I would like write down the

845
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 7: lyrics for him.

846
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 2: Another Xanna dude, did you know that spell xana do with.

847
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,240
Speaker 7: The X of course because of the movie.

848
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 2: I don't know.

849
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: I don't think i've ever in the years I've known you,

850
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: I've really never like thoroughly discussed your mom's exit from

851
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: this this particular plant.

852
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 2: But I definitely know that, Uh, that was the that

853
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 2: was the first time that I had to deal with, Uh,

854
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 2: I guess loss.

855
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: Like my parents used your mom's passing as a way

856
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: to explain to me what death was really yeah, because

857
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: I mean at that time, I was eight years old.

858
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,399
Speaker 1: So even though my grandmom passed when I was five,

859
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: like I you know, I they never told me or

860
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: sat me down explaining to being like, Okay, this is

861
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: what death is, and da da da da dah.

862
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 7: So gonna make sense too, because it's also like easier

863
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 7: to like explain it about someone that's like, you know, like,

864
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:43,839
Speaker 7: oh shit, what are we going to tell him grandma died?

865
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 7: Then we're like, you're like, oh, make good stuff up.

866
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 7: But then if it's like, Okay, we're sad because this

867
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 7: thing happened and we have to explain, like I do,

868
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 7: explain why the Freedom Tower was there yesterday, my five

869
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 7: year old son and explain why the buildings were gone,

870
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 7: and I just said it very like, you know, as

871
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 7: simply and as matter of fact.

872
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 2: And he could handle it.

873
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, he was like, why did they do that?

874
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 8: Well?

875
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 7: But yeah, maybe because it wasn't someone personal, but it

876
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 7: but personal in a different way. You know, your relationships

877
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 7: with the music is personal.

878
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: So that's that period in the summer of the seventy nine.

879
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 1: I mean, was your father working on this album as

880
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: that was happening, or my dad wasn't.

881
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 7: Working on the record. Then he met Tina later. She

882
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 7: was a big fan of my mom's. I don't know

883
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 7: how they can.

884
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 2: Your mom passing what July seventy nine, Yeah.

885
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 7: July twelfth, seventy nine, but she had recorded her last

886
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:36,879
Speaker 7: record and didn't finish it when she died, so posthumously.

887
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 7: Then my dad then he went in the studio and

888
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 7: had That's when I got to meet the Jackson's because

889
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 7: like people would come and like play stuff on each song.

890
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, Michael was on a I'm in Love Again.

891
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 7: I remember my dad, I remember one of the I

892
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 7: don't remember who's one of the Jackson's selfinge with my

893
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 7: math homework and I was like, Jackson helped me with

894
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,320
Speaker 7: my fourth grade math homework.

895
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 2: And it wasn't Michael.

896
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 7: No, Michael was too shy. Michael Michael. They were in

897
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 7: the studio and they were friendly. Michael was really shy,

898
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 7: and my dad gave him, like I remember, he gave

899
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 7: him like a Pittsburgh Pirates hat, because my dad's from Pittsburgh.

900
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 8: Ah.

901
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,240
Speaker 2: Originally I didn't know that, but I but that's.

902
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 7: Why I can remember, like people were coming in, you know,

903
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 7: he was putting stuff on songs with different people. It's

904
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 7: such a blurry time to me. It's you know, now

905
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 7: that I have a daughter who's about she was, she's

906
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 7: the age my daughter, Lucy's the age that I was

907
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 7: when my mom died. Right now, she's six and a half,

908
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 7: she's almost seven. It's so fascinating as an adult to

909
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 7: see that person's she's so into me, she's so into

910
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 7: her mommy. But she's a kind of a baby still,

911
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,320
Speaker 7: like in a lot of ways. And so my memory

912
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 7: it's like, you know, because my mom was my mom,

913
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 7: people ask me about her a lot, but my memories

914
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:52,320
Speaker 7: are are from a child's brain, so it's really warped.

915
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 7: And I always talk about magical thinking. There's like a

916
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 7: lot of my memory. That's like a little bit make

917
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 7: believe because that's how kids cope.

918
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 2: You know.

919
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,399
Speaker 1: You know what I remember about that record, that last

920
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: album Stevie wanted his autograph was his thumb prints. Yeah,

921
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: I would the first time I ever got in trouble

922
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: playing with matches, like I get it. I get a

923
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 1: big pin, then light the ink so it could spill

924
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,800
Speaker 1: on the table so I could put my thumbprint and

925
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 1: just thumbprint everything.

926
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 2: Because yeah, Stevie did it. Yeah, I was impressible that way.

927
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:33,280
Speaker 2: And also that Michael had an immaculate penmanship on his autograph.

928
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 7: On that album because his dad probably yay.

929
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 4: Go in.

930
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 7: No.

931
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 2: Yeah. So just that that transition period to.

932
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:52,240
Speaker 7: It was also transitioning from seventy nine leaving the eighties,

933
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 7: leaving the eighties. I mean, sorry, it's such a trippy.

934
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 7: It's such a trippy era to have such an imprint

935
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:03,360
Speaker 7: on my life. The seventies is is everything.

936
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: I mean, how did you cope? Like did you have

937
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 1: big sister figures? And like, well, who was there to

938
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: sort of feel that void or just to who's there

939
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 1: for you to leave?

940
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 7: Really just my dad and my brother honestly, and I

941
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 7: mean we were the only ones that lived in La

942
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 7: because everybody we came to La. My dad's family was

943
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 7: in Miami, my mom's was in Chicago. We were the

944
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 7: only ones like out there. We were kind of on

945
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 7: our own. So you know, when I come from like,

946
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 7: you know, pretty big sized families, but everybody was somewhere else.

947
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 7: I'm kind of a disconnection in a lot of ways,

948
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 7: especially because she she was the only one that was

949
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 7: like in the entertainment business in her family, which always

950
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 7: as you know, wow, with death and fame and all that,

951
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:53,359
Speaker 7: that all just becomes so strange when people people die,

952
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 7: it's it makes it makes family even you know, you

953
00:48:57,600 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 7: know how it is.

954
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 2: I know, so I mean your dad obviously.

955
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 8: No my dad, my dad raised us.

956
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 7: It was so my dad, I cannot believe, like he

957
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 7: was in the studio all night, will like our housekeeper

958
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 7: was like sleeping at the house so that there was

959
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 7: someone in the house with us. And then he'd get

960
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,439
Speaker 7: up in the morning, make my lunch, pack my bag,

961
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:22,359
Speaker 7: send me off to school if he wasn't the one

962
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:23,839
Speaker 7: that was driving me as I got older, because that's

963
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:25,919
Speaker 7: what I remember, and then like go back to bed.

964
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 2: Where'd you go to school?

965
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 7: I went to high school in Santa Monica's school called Crossroads.

966
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 7: That was like an already already school.

967
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:35,880
Speaker 1: I was going to say, was it a perfect So

968
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 1: when did you realize that you did you always have

969
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 1: a talent?

970
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 2: Were you always singing around the house?

971
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 3: Yeah?

972
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 2: I didn't.

973
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 7: I was I was singing. I was just like a

974
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 7: ham bone, like always doing shows like my kids do now,

975
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 7: like always doing a show. My brother was always playing sports.

976
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:53,359
Speaker 7: I was always doing a show.

977
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 2: So for you, was it like I'm going to be

978
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 2: a singer or yeah, I think I was an actress.

979
00:49:58,160 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 7: I think it was a combo in my head of

980
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,399
Speaker 7: But I don't know where the comedy came from, because

981
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:04,839
Speaker 7: my dad says that if my mom wasn't a singer,

982
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 7: she would have been a comedian. But I don't know

983
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 7: anything funny, that's what he says.

984
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 2: I don't know.

985
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 8: I don't remember any of that. Wow.

986
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 7: But but the music seemed normal, So they're all it's

987
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 7: kind of a hybrid in my mind, you know. But

988
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 7: I would go to shows, like I would watch people

989
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:25,360
Speaker 7: on stage and think that's what I'm gonna do. And

990
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 7: then I'd watch a movie and say, like that's what

991
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 7: I'm gonna do. But it was mostly like in my house,

992
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 7: we watched a lot of comedies that it was like

993
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 7: a lot of Melbrooks movies and stuff.

994
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 2: Wow, do you remember your first concert not your mom's.

995
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:42,720
Speaker 7: I remember going to see Funkadelic and the mother Ship Landing.

996
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 7: I was sitting on somebody's shoulders. I think we were

997
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 7: in Chicago. I don't know what the first I mean

998
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:50,239
Speaker 7: if it wasn't my mom's. I mean, my mom played

999
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 7: with George Benson, and I remember being at like it

1000
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 7: like the Greek Theater or something, just that perfect magical

1001
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 7: outdoor summer night, like don't dunk.

1002
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:02,280
Speaker 2: Right, I went Broadway?

1003
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So all your conscious were related to your

1004
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 1: mom in some sort of way.

1005
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 8: I guess.

1006
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:13,319
Speaker 7: So. I mean the Parliament when when my brother was huge.

1007
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,320
Speaker 7: My brother was crazy huge into Parliament Funkadelic when I

1008
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 7: was a kid, and so I think we I think

1009
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 7: we went to go see them because he wanted to.

1010
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 7: He was like infatuated with George Clinton when we were

1011
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 7: just the two of you together and some family members

1012
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 7: I don't even remember who, and then we were into

1013
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 7: the Silvers. We were really Me and my brother were

1014
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 7: really into the silvers try to remember, Like it's actually

1015
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 7: because I've been asked that question. It's so hard to remember,

1016
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 7: like the first first I mean, when I was like

1017
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 7: a kid kid, it was like Duran Duran, But that

1018
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 7: doesn't that doesn't count well because that was like my

1019
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 7: choice when I was like fifth grade, But when I

1020
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,840
Speaker 7: was little, I don't remember.

1021
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 2: So Duran Duran was your first love? Like Roads on

1022
00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 2: the Walls and all that stuff.

1023
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 7: I wouldn't say, was it first I really liked? I

1024
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 7: I was really in love with Stuart Copeland from the Police,

1025
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 7: thank you, and of course Sting but you know, and

1026
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 7: then uh and then and then I remember being like

1027
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 7: band wise, but my prince love was early. It just

1028
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 7: wasn't as much of a connection. Like like Dirty Mind

1029
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 7: was the first record that I really truly listened to

1030
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 7: and understood and you were I was little. Yeah, Because

1031
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 7: my cousin Ingrid came out from Chicago, she was much

1032
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,280
Speaker 7: older than us. She bought that record. She was staying

1033
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:45,840
Speaker 7: with us, and she shouldn't have played it for me

1034
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 7: and my brother, but she did, and we all like

1035
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 7: and the record players in my dad's bedroom and we

1036
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 7: all just like danced to it in our socks. But

1037
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 7: but then like I didn't have a poster of prints

1038
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 7: or anything like that, and I didn't, but it was

1039
00:52:58,160 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 7: like it was in there.

1040
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:03,920
Speaker 2: Did you really what you were listening to? No, that's crazy.

1041
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 7: But I remember staring at the record and staring at

1042
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:08,439
Speaker 7: him laying on the bed with his trench coat open,

1043
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 7: and I was like, wow, he's got a lot of

1044
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:22,360
Speaker 7: hair under his thighs, Like that's man thigh. But it

1045
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 7: wasn't until when Purple Rain happened. Then I made like

1046
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 7: a conscious shift in a conscious stress. And I was eleven,

1047
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 7: I think, right, were you twelve?

1048
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 2: Uh?

1049
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:37,760
Speaker 1: I was thirteen? Yes, I was twelve, Yeah, you were twelve.

1050
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:39,319
Speaker 1: You were allowed to see purple range?

1051
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:41,479
Speaker 7: Well, my dad took me to see purple ring because

1052
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 7: he didn't he didn't know what it was.

1053
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 2: My mom took me to ring. I was my Rabbi

1054
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 2: took me to see.

1055
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 7: None of us knew that we were going to see

1056
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 7: Apollonia's boobies.

1057
00:53:54,160 --> 00:54:00,839
Speaker 5: So I didn't see purple until way later, Regular Bill.

1058
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 2: I didn't see until it was on HBO. Oh wow.

1059
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 2: So I'm the only one to which purple was like

1060
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:10,800
Speaker 2: contraband in the household. Oh no, it was contraband.

1061
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 7: Oh you weren't allowed to go see it.

1062
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 2: Hell no, Prince was the Prince was the I got on.

1063
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:18,280
Speaker 2: Like all my punishments was prince related.

1064
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:22,360
Speaker 1: Really, I would have otherwise been the perfect child, except

1065
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:26,479
Speaker 1: the day that, you know, I discovered Prince's music and then.

1066
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 2: You know, But it's weird because during those punishments, my punishments,

1067
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:32,919
Speaker 2: I mean some of them.

1068

Speaker 7: Just more of a threat. The belt was. The belt

1074
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:57,479

00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 1: And then that's how the Jackson's became to be. Oh wow,

1096
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,360
Speaker 1: he didn't realize that his son's had talent until he

1097
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 1: had to beat Tito.

1098
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 7: Jesus, you can talk about it. What oh what the

1099
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:13,800
Speaker 7: switch did Jackson switch?

1100
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 2: Oh?

1101
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 1: Nah, man, my dad has a doctorate degree in jacksonology.

1102
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 1: I mean that's why I had to be so you know.

1103
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I was always like the not

1104
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 1: the goodie kid, but I always did what my parents said.

1105
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 1: I was home before the light went out, and you know,

1106
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 1: I always joke to people that if I ever came

1107
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 1: home one minute after that Oprah theme, oh.

1108
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:42,800
Speaker 2: Wow, that was my ass.

1109
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 1: And I mean even into high school, like I mean,

1110
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 1: it was just their fear of me being out on

1111
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 1: the streets in the eighties was it was too risky.

1112
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 1: So it's just like you come straight home, don't go

1113
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 1: record shopping, don't go to uh you know, you don't

1114
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:02,919
Speaker 1: go to the arcade, hanging with your friends at the mall.

1115
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:03,879
Speaker 2: You run home.

1116
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 1: So it was like, that's why I know Flight of

1117
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 1: the bumble Bee so well, because soon as school let out,

1118
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 1: it was like, like, that's that's that's pretty much what

1119
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 1: life was.

1120
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 7: What was the what was the Prince record that you

1121
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 7: got into. I'm just curious what the relationship was for

1122
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 7: your parents that said, like, all.

1123
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 2: Right, so Prince got introduced, all right.

1124
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 1: It's it's weird that my Michael Jackson obsession led to

1125
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 1: all of my musical knowledge because even those groups you mentioned, Duran,

1126
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 1: Duran and the police.

1127
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 2: And all that stuff.

1128
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 1: The only reason why I know all of those MTV

1129
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 1: ready acts is because you'd sit in front of m

1130
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 1: t V for hours waiting for beat It to come out, right,

1131
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 1: that one to watch all night long to do that

1132
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 1: forward moonwalking all night long or beat It or or

1133
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine, So wait for that one black video

1134
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 1: to come on. You'd have to sit through Thomas Dolby

1135
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:14,919
Speaker 1: and all these others. So after you know, five weeks

1136
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 1: of doing this, suddenly you know I'm singing like Hyperactive

1137
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 1: by Thomas Dolby and I remember.

1138
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 2: Yes, had like twelve it was Robert Palmer.

1139
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 1: No, no, Hyperactive, I'm definitely wrong.

1140
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 4: Wrong, thank you mind because Steve would have you see

1141
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:38,560
Speaker 4: the smug look on base right now?

1142
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:41,240
Speaker 2: No, how about I can't when I'm wrong. No, there's

1143
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 2: are right, there's.

1144
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 7: A Thomas Dolby. I love you.

1145
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's what I'm saying.

1146
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 1: Like waiting for Michael Jackson videos led me to just

1147
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 1: studying everything else because you didn't want to take your

1148
00:58:57,200 --> 00:59:00,880
Speaker 1: eyes off the television. And so back when I wanted

1149
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 1: to see the Rock with You video, knowing that it

1150
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:08,479
Speaker 1: was coming on Midnight Special, Prince was the second song

1151
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:11,320
Speaker 1: as a guest, I Want to be Your Lover, and.

1152
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 2: My dad just felt the need to add on.

1153
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 1: It was like twenty four hours later, and his whole

1154
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 1: thing was like, why is this boy wearing a diaper?

1155
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 1: Why is he wearing a diaper? So just the next

1156
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 1: day he says, don't you listen to that boy that

1157
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 1: was wearing the diaper, which wasn't like, you know, like

1158
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 1: when your parents tell you no, then it's like, oh, automatic, yes,

1159
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:39,920
Speaker 1: I really didn't care, like I now know that with parenthood.

1160
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 2: And of course I'm not a parent saying this.

1161
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that, if you are adamant about a no,

1162
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,040
Speaker 1: you might as well tell your kid just do that.

1163
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 1: Do it, because I'm certain that Prince would have been

1164
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 1: just a footnote in memory had they not made a

1165
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:57,960
Speaker 1: big deal of that boy.

1166
00:59:57,840 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 2: And his diaper.

1167
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 7: I remember Soft and Wet being I remember being exactly

1168
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 7: where I was standing. Our garage door was open, and

1169
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 7: we were in the driveway doing messing around, doing something.

1170
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 7: I had one of those you know, those green like

1171
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 7: inchworm things and you would like bounce on it.

1172
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember that, yeah, yeah, And I was like.

1173
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 7: Playing with that or something. And then Soft and Wet

1174
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 7: came on, and I remember we were all listening.

1175
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 2: To it on the radio, like it's a very inappropriate visual.

1176
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 7: But I didn't feel that wrist slap of like, oh boy,

1177
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 7: we'd better turn this off, you know. It was sort

1178
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 7: of like, oh, this is a Prince song, and the

1179
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 7: song is kind of good, so I didn't. I don't,

1180
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:35,120
Speaker 7: But then again, my dad. There was no concept of

1181
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:38,320
Speaker 7: PC and my dad was so young, Like I mean,

1182
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 7: my mom and dad were like twenty five when I

1183
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 7: was born, you know, and so my mom was thirty

1184
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 7: one when she died, like they were kids, and I

1185
01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:50,880
Speaker 7: don't and that politically correct thing was not an ordinance yet,

1186
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 7: so you know, I was. We were watching movies with

1187
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:54,960
Speaker 7: our parents because they were young and they wanted to

1188
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:56,440
Speaker 7: watch them too, and we saw boobies.

1189
01:00:56,480 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 1: And but it's weird because I don't know, necessarily consider

1190
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 1: soft and wet that memorable to be that.

1191
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:06,960
Speaker 2: Where was I when I first heard Prince?

1192
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:10,200
Speaker 1: Everyone has a soft and wet story, like the first

1193
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 1: time they heard prints, which only because the circumstance that

1194
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 1: I was in I remember more. And he just happened

1195
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 1: to be playing at the time. My grandfather had just died,

1196
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 1: and my dad came to my mom said babe, come here.

1197
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 2: One second.

1198
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 1: They went out the room, and I never heard my

1199
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 1: mom freak out crying, so she screamed and everything, and

1200
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 1: I was like, well, Immie, you know seventy eight, I

1201
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:40,520
Speaker 1: was seven, so I guess in order to just she

1202
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 1: old me and protect me from it, my sister just

1203
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 1: took me from the kitchen, took me up to the bedroom,

1204
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 1: got these big ass headphones and just put the radio

1205
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 1: on and Street Wave by Brothers Johnson was playing on

1206
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 1: wdas it faded out, Soft and Wet came on. And

1207
01:01:57,240 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 1: the only thing that I remember my seven year old

1208
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:04,840
Speaker 1: self saying was that this is the same instrumentation that

1209
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 1: Graham Central Station.

1210
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:06,720
Speaker 2: Would have used.

1211
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 1: Later I found out that yes, he also recorded at

1212
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 1: salis What's in Salcilda, the same recording studio, the same art,

1213
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:20,800
Speaker 1: the same mood, the same patches, which probably explains is

1214
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 1: Larry Graham upsession and even that that's straight Graham Central Station.

1215
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 1: So that's the only thing I remember. I remember this song,

1216
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 1: I don't know remember here in this really worthy synth

1217
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 1: part that reminded me.

1218
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:38,840
Speaker 2: Of yeah, like it was Graham Central Station.

1219
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 1: And that's all I remember about Prince uh And again

1220
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 1: leading back to they never told me my grandfather died.

1221
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:50,080
Speaker 1: I just knew that mom was freaking out, and then

1222
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:51,800
Speaker 1: she went away for a week and I stayed at

1223
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 1: my grandmom's house.

1224
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 2: But that's what I remember.

1225
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, like really, it wasn't until I got into

1226
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:02,960
Speaker 1: the time and then someone told me the connection between

1227
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 1: the two and then and then that's how I got

1228
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 1: to I finally caught up to Prince. But it really

1229
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:12,160
Speaker 1: wasn't until the Time's first record.

1230
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:14,920
Speaker 7: My brother got us into the Time, and then it

1231
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:17,240
Speaker 7: started becoming I was like, what is this seven seven,

1232
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 7: seven ninety three eleven, like songs with phone numbers were

1233
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:21,720
Speaker 7: so exciting.

1234
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1235
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:30,280
Speaker 1: So, but then by that point I just it was

1236
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 1: punishment every you know, like the church I went to

1237
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:40,240
Speaker 1: had a sermon on why thriller was demonic?

1238
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:42,000
Speaker 2: Party?

1239
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:45,479
Speaker 1: Children and if any of your parents own this record,

1240
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 1: and they had a nineteen ninety nine record, and he

1241
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 1: turned it upside down, said, this.

1242
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:51,240
Speaker 2: Is a penis, and this is a six sixty six.

1243
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 2: Your kids are being led and you know the six

1244
01:03:55,040 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 2: six six on there. Look nineteen ninety nine, right.

1245
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:02,480
Speaker 7: I just saw the penis.

1246
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:07,040
Speaker 2: I thought I was one with a football in it,

1247
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:07,720
Speaker 2: you know.

1248
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:15,040
Speaker 1: Again, unless you pointed out like, I don't know these things.

1249
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 1: And so it was just like then we went home.

1250
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 1: Don't you have this record of mirror?

1251
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:21,840
Speaker 2: And they went to my room and took everything through

1252
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:22,200
Speaker 2: it away.

1253
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 8: Wow.

1254
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 1: Then it snowed, and then I did some shoveling and

1255
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 1: got it back from the money that I earned shoveling,

1256
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:32,080
Speaker 1: and then it was missing again, and then after that

1257
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:34,320
Speaker 1: it was just like contraband, it was just punishment.

1258
01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:39,480
Speaker 2: So h and I'll stay between eighty two and eighty.

1259
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:45,400
Speaker 1: Seven, life was hell in West Philadelphia based on all

1260
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:51,400
Speaker 1: it was just hell, like you know, yeah, it was

1261
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 1: the best and worst times of life.

1262
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 7: Hi, that's a classic. Like you clearly like driven towards

1263
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:02,440
Speaker 7: something in your parents. You know, you needed to find out.

1264
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:04,880
Speaker 7: You needed to turn everything over and find it out

1265
01:05:04,920 --> 01:05:05,400
Speaker 7: for yourself.

1266
01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:07,720
Speaker 1: Like and I don't even know if I mean, I

1267
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 1: don't know if it affected me in a way that

1268
01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:11,040
Speaker 1: they thought it was going to affect me or not.

1269
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he made me aware of shit that I

1270
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 1: didn't know about, Like you know, it's like what's a

1271
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:17,560
Speaker 1: cherry and all this stuff? Like I would ask my

1272
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:19,120
Speaker 1: friends in school like what does this stuff mean?

1273
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:20,200
Speaker 2: Or whatever they explained to me.

1274
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:23,439
Speaker 1: But really I was just about I'd never heard music

1275
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:27,360
Speaker 1: sound like that, Like it sounded futuristic, and you know,

1276
01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:30,520
Speaker 1: I was obsessed with the patches and all those things.

1277
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:32,800
Speaker 7: But I think it made me realize later because I

1278
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:34,480
Speaker 7: put all the pieces together when I got older, that

1279
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 7: I wasn't really truly like identifying and obsessed with Prince

1280
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:42,120
Speaker 7: until the revolution actually had Wendy and least in it

1281
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 7: because I could identify with girls in the band, and

1282
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:47,000
Speaker 7: then I wanted to be in the band. I wanted

1283
01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:49,160
Speaker 7: to I wanted to be Wendy.

1284
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 1: So were you besides knowing Jill, Well, you knew Jill

1285
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:54,520
Speaker 1: Jones during the Tina Marie period.

1286
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:57,640
Speaker 7: I remember meeting her. I think, I think, if my

1287
01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:01,120
Speaker 7: memory surge incorrectly, her mom was Tina's manager.

1288
01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 2: Who's her mom?

1289
01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:07,040
Speaker 7: I don't remember her name, okay, but I think Joe's mom.

1290
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:08,120
Speaker 2: I think she.

1291
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 7: I think she worked with Tina. I remember going to

1292
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 7: their house or something, or maybe better at Tina's house

1293
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:13,800
Speaker 7: or something like that.

1294
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:16,040
Speaker 2: So you didn't put two to do together when you

1295
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:17,600
Speaker 2: see the nineteen ninety nine video and.

1296
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 7: Be like, oh my god, that's late James way.

1297
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:23,680
Speaker 2: Later grinding on Lisa for some strange reason.

1298
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 7: Best friends. Yeah, there's a lot of that's funny and

1299
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:31,400
Speaker 7: Lisa best friends.

1300
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:42,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's yeah, yeah, anyway, Yeah, I didn't really know.

1301
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 7: I didn't know people's names yet then, Like I didn't.

1302
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:47,000
Speaker 7: I just it was all about Prince to me. And

1303
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:49,400
Speaker 7: even though there was a revolution like it was just Prince.

1304
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:52,280
Speaker 7: But then because of the movie, I think it gave

1305
01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 7: me like a little bit of a story. Whether I

1306
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:55,800
Speaker 7: knew it was real or not, I didn't know.

1307
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:58,520
Speaker 2: Do you know that was Jill when you saw pe

1308
01:06:58,680 --> 01:06:59,160
Speaker 2: Arin or.

1309
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:03,880
Speaker 7: I think so? Actually maybe not?

1310
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 8: Maybe not.

1311
01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 7: I think I put it together later.

1312
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:11,400
Speaker 1: Okay, so uh yeah, Princess, I'm skipping over, of course,

1313
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:14,400
Speaker 1: the the part of your life of which a lot

1346
01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:47,600

Speaker 7: lot like there's a there's a theater called the Catalyst,

1348
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:52,880

1349
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:54,600
Speaker 7: only theater in town for a long time, and we

1350
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:56,720

1443
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:47,040
Speaker 4: This is recently, so we were just there and actually

1444
01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:49,720

1445
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:50,840
Speaker 4: you know, like a.

1446
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:53,760
Speaker 2: Police line or like a police tape. No, no, no,

1447
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:56,200
Speaker 2: we went I mean this is like not like a

1448
01:13:56,240 --> 01:13:59,160
Speaker 2: little elevator. Nah. I didn't see the elevator. I didn't

1449
01:13:59,160 --> 01:13:59,320
Speaker 2: go in.

1450
01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:03,040
Speaker 4: We were just outside walking around. And so then the

1451
01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:04,840
Speaker 4: news truck pulled up. We'll be like, what the hell's

1452
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:07,040
Speaker 4: the news doing here? And it was the day that

1453
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:11,240
Speaker 4: they announced the autopsies. Oh so that was why I

1454
01:14:11,320 --> 01:14:12,519
Speaker 4: was like, oh, that's why they were here.

1455
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:18,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, well it's it's it's super normal inside.

1456
01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:23,680
Speaker 1: And the one thing I noticed was there were a

1457
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:26,040
Speaker 1: lot of you remember there was a point where they

1458
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:30,040
Speaker 1: had combo television and VHS for quarters.

1459
01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:35,680
Speaker 2: Wow, Like I feel like he really spruced that place up.

1460
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:38,200
Speaker 1: I mean it came up, and it came up in

1461
01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:41,880
Speaker 1: eighty seven, but I felt like he had a redo

1462
01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:43,200
Speaker 1: in like ninety three.

1463
01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:45,960
Speaker 2: He redid the place in ninety six for the when

1464
01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:48,800
Speaker 2: the baby was supposed to come. Oh the entire place. Yeah,

1465
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:50,720
Speaker 2: they like it was all white inside and then they

1466
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:51,960
Speaker 2: did all the paintings and stuff.

1467
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:56,280
Speaker 1: And then that explains it because well there were a

1468
01:14:56,360 --> 01:15:01,160
Speaker 1: lot of VHS TV combos everywhere. There was like a

1469
01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:07,360
Speaker 1: Sega Genesis. Uh, he obviously was or whoever was inside

1470
01:15:07,439 --> 01:15:10,680
Speaker 1: Paisley Park. They were really a fan of what's what's

1471
01:15:10,760 --> 01:15:14,519
Speaker 1: the Sega game with the cat that Sonic There's a

1472
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:19,400
Speaker 1: lot of Sonic the Hedgehog games, and apparently a Tripod

1473
01:15:19,479 --> 01:15:24,920
Speaker 1: Quest fan because I found three copies of Midnight Marauders.

1474
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:30,320
Speaker 1: I would say from the inside, his life was seemed

1475
01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:34,720
Speaker 1: pretty much normal. I mean, there was nothing that unusual.

1476
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:36,879
Speaker 5: Except for the giant eyes and cameras.

1477
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:38,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, except for the eyes and camera.

1478
01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:41,479
Speaker 1: Well, I know that I know that it's wired for

1479
01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:44,120
Speaker 1: there to be microphones anywhere, So if he has a

1480
01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:48,240
Speaker 1: song idea including in the Oh God, including in the

1481
01:15:48,360 --> 01:15:51,840
Speaker 1: bathroom for real wow, which kind of freaked me out

1482
01:15:52,479 --> 01:15:55,200
Speaker 1: because the invasion of had to be right, that's like

1483
01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:59,800
Speaker 1: a ship. On my second day there, I remember really

1484
01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:04,760
Speaker 1: having to go and so my solution was to just

1485
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:06,680
Speaker 1: constantly flush the toilet.

1486
01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:07,720
Speaker 8: So you didn't hear nothing.

1487
01:16:09,479 --> 01:16:11,920
Speaker 2: End up on emancipation too. I think I drained like.

1488
01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:18,680
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, I think I just drained out late Minnetonka.

1489
01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:54,120
Speaker 1: That's how many times that was Miss Maya Rudolph singing

1490
01:16:54,240 --> 01:16:57,599
Speaker 1: with the rentals. How old were you when you did

1491
01:16:57,680 --> 01:16:59,120
Speaker 1: that stuff with the rentals?

1492
01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:02,040

1493
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:03,960
Speaker 7: did the five year Plan, so I was probably like

1494
01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:07,479
Speaker 7: twenty two. I got involved with the rentals because my friends,

1495
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:13,439
Speaker 7: my childhood friends Rachel Hayden and Patrick Hayden warn a

1496
01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:20,040

01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:14,400
Speaker 2: Right, it's now your show.

1516
01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:19,519
Speaker 7: Bro, My my, uh, my friend Rachel Hayden, who's a triplet. Rachel,

1517
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:23,400
Speaker 7: Tanya and Petra are are triplets, the Hayden triplets. There

1518
01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:26,519
Speaker 7: there musicians as well. Their father was Charlie Hayden, amazing

1519
01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:31,040
Speaker 7: jazz bassist, and we all grew up singing together. We

1520
01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:35,559
Speaker 7: all grew up harmonizing together. And I was like an

1521
01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:37,439
Speaker 7: honorary member of their band for two seconds, but then

1522
01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:39,320
Speaker 7: I went away to college. So when I came back

1523
01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:42,280
Speaker 7: from college, they had recorded that first record with Matt

1524
01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:46,960
Speaker 7: Sharp from originally from Weezer. They were all l A

1525
01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:49,720
Speaker 7: local bands together, and so he put them on their card.

1526
01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:52,760
Speaker 7: Then he wanted them to tour and they were going

1527
01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:54,400
Speaker 7: on their own tour. So Rachel said, you should call

1528
01:18:54,439 --> 01:18:56,920
Speaker 7: my friend Mike because she she can harmonize and she

1529
01:18:57,080 --> 01:19:00,439
Speaker 7: can play keyboards, and that whole record it is just

1530
01:19:00,600 --> 01:19:03,960
Speaker 7: all the harmonies that those girls always did. Ah, okay,

1531
01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:05,840
Speaker 7: So that was why I ended up touring with them.

1532
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:07,479
Speaker 7: So I wasn't on that first record. It was actually

1533
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:08,679
Speaker 7: Rachel and Petra's voices.

1534
01:19:09,320 --> 01:19:11,639
Speaker 2: You played piano, yes, I played.

1535

01:21:00,520 --> 01:21:03,920
Speaker 7: But is this somebody like Tom or or somebody who

1560
01:21:04,160 --> 01:21:05,040
Speaker 7: went on to do stuff.

1561
01:21:05,320 --> 01:21:11,479
Speaker 2: This person's sort of connected, was it, jo Joe? No,

1562
01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:18,679
Speaker 2: I like you close your eyes listen to this voice.

1563
01:21:25,280 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 9: Just wait? You nice and.

1564
01:21:41,960 --> 01:21:42,240
Speaker 8: Wow?

1565
01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:47,479
Speaker 2: Yes you never paid attention to work. So I'm not

1566
01:21:47,560 --> 01:21:50,000
Speaker 2: a lyrics guy. I'm a music guy. I mean just

1567
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:51,240
Speaker 2: from the what did you think?

1568
01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:54,160
Speaker 8: Wow?

1569
01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:58,800
Speaker 2: See the proper now threw me off. I need to

1570
01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:02,559
Speaker 2: see the two or before. Okay, so you're listening.

1571
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:04,920
Speaker 7: It's related, isn't it.

1572
01:22:05,240 --> 01:22:12,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's Vanity's strap on Robbie Baby, which I

1573
01:22:12,840 --> 01:22:15,080
Speaker 1: guess now that a thing of its very apropos being

1574
01:22:15,160 --> 01:22:18,240
Speaker 1: as though the very last song she did with Vanity

1575
01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:19,639
Speaker 1: six was Vibrator.

1576
01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:23,960
Speaker 7: But I actually am shocked that I didn't recognize her

1577
01:22:24,080 --> 01:22:24,799
Speaker 7: vocal quality.

1578
01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:29,080
Speaker 2: It's very distinct. All right. This leads to our second song.

1579
01:22:30,760 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 2: That's it.

1580
01:22:37,160 --> 01:22:39,720
Speaker 7: Ready for the Whirl sounds like.

1581
01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:42,800
Speaker 2: Right now?

1582
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:43,479
Speaker 4: Is it?

1583
01:22:43,920 --> 01:22:45,800
Speaker 2: Is it? R F T W?

1584
01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:06,200
Speaker 9: Yeah?

1585
01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:06,720
Speaker 2: There it is.

1586
01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:17,640
Speaker 7: There's that voice months but making time. I mean I

1587
01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:20,600
Speaker 7: didn't listen to this song. I listened to O'sheila and

1588
01:23:20,840 --> 01:23:26,560
Speaker 7: not like an auxiliary Prince, you know, like satisfaction.

1589
01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:30,120
Speaker 2: It was like close enough, which one is it this

1590
01:23:30,280 --> 01:23:38,360
Speaker 2: digital slate? Which one dig this second? But this is

1591
01:23:38,479 --> 01:23:41,360
Speaker 2: this is actually one of my favorite filler ready for

1592
01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:46,439
Speaker 2: the world, like they did a lot of fast friends.

1593
01:23:46,560 --> 01:23:50,920
Speaker 7: So why did it sound like there was no ancient Sheila?

1594
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:51,600
Speaker 7: And he said it.

1595
01:23:55,960 --> 01:23:58,360
Speaker 2: Big a little song about pop rad So did he just.

1596
01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:05,040
Speaker 7: Did he just use all the same machines? Is that

1597
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:06,880
Speaker 7: how you got the sound?

1598
01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:09,640
Speaker 8: It's kind of.

1599
01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:13,000
Speaker 1: Weird because this this is actually I believe this is

1600
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:15,560
Speaker 1: a d m X drum machine. So this is not

1601
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:16,360
Speaker 1: even a line drum.

1602
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:25,120
Speaker 2: But they often use the overheim and then drum.

1603
01:24:26,240 --> 01:24:28,479
Speaker 1: This is one of the rare times in which they're

1604
01:24:28,560 --> 01:24:31,240
Speaker 1: not using that. Here is your next song?

1605
01:24:38,760 --> 01:24:39,839
Speaker 7: Sounds very familiar.

1606
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:01,679
Speaker 2: This is probably in the second place.

1607
01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:06,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, by far of my Brenda.

1608
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:10,160
Speaker 10: Breast song best songs that Prince never wrote. I'm sorry

1609
01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:11,240
Speaker 10: it is the chickens.

1610
01:25:12,920 --> 01:25:14,000
Speaker 5: Go bad to breath songs.

1611
01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:19,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, well I know this artist.

1612
01:25:20,200 --> 01:25:22,519
Speaker 2: You probably won't. I mean, you should know.

1613
01:25:22,600 --> 01:25:26,840
Speaker 7: It's not Brenda Wait's a low voice.

1614
01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:44,960
Speaker 8: Isn't that Annie?

1615
01:25:45,520 --> 01:25:46,439
Speaker 7: Isn't that Annie?

1616
01:25:46,520 --> 01:25:46,800
Speaker 9: Lady?

1617
01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:53,200
Speaker 2: That was like, is this cam in the scene? All right,

1618
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:59,320
Speaker 2: this is tomorrow and the scene. I I don't know

1619
01:25:59,360 --> 01:26:01,320
Speaker 2: how I remember she's got she zams on his phone.

1620
01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:08,400
Speaker 11: She did a minor stant with Prince in the nineties. Well,

1621
01:26:08,439 --> 01:26:11,280
Speaker 11: she's on that one eight hundred New Punk manopilation. Well,

1622
01:26:11,360 --> 01:26:14,519
Speaker 11: she was actually going to be a group, the Mambo Combo. No, well,

1623
01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:17,400
Speaker 11: Prince had a she had a project.

1624
01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:19,840
Speaker 2: Called Ucfly that Prince wouldn't old up a song. Wait

1625
01:26:20,439 --> 01:26:23,679
Speaker 2: what yeah, in like eighty nine or something. But really

1626
01:26:24,600 --> 01:26:25,439
Speaker 2: I didn't know that was her.

1627
01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:26,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, that was her.

1628
01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:31,320
Speaker 2: Margie Cooks. I consider this like a lead Prince associated.

1629
01:26:30,760 --> 01:26:33,519
Speaker 6: Prince to be the way I heard the song once

1630
01:26:33,840 --> 01:26:39,080
Speaker 6: with the strangest applications. It was a stickball a competition

1631
01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:41,880
Speaker 6: that Nike was doing like the somewhere like right off.

1632
01:26:41,800 --> 01:26:44,760
Speaker 2: The Kanowski, you know, and key Tip was USA. For

1633
01:26:44,840 --> 01:26:46,680
Speaker 2: some reason, we started playing this song like in the

1634
01:26:46,720 --> 01:26:47,559
Speaker 2: middle of the message.

1635
01:26:48,200 --> 01:26:51,120
Speaker 10: Wow, when you're starting to if you're playing this and

1636
01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:55,280
Speaker 10: you're you're trying to send a message to somebody like

1637
01:26:55,360 --> 01:26:57,479
Speaker 10: this is one of those cuts that you see where

1638
01:26:58,280 --> 01:26:59,800
Speaker 10: you want to let somebody know weaken.

1639
01:27:01,640 --> 01:27:05,559
Speaker 2: So this is the cut that you play. We're here

1640
01:27:06,040 --> 01:27:16,240
Speaker 2: all right, here's the next song, public Joy, Public Joy.

1642
01:27:26,479 --> 01:27:27,040
Speaker 2: Don't have to.

1643
01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:34,960
Speaker 1: Like Fante is looking off in the corner light, he

1644
01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:38,040
Speaker 1: can he can't put his he can't put his hand

1645
01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:41,559
Speaker 1: on it, but he knows that whoever say this often

1646
01:27:41,960 --> 01:27:47,760
Speaker 1: has to wipe back the activated curve or or do

1647
01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:52,360
Speaker 1: it backwards from or stroke his ear with the opposite end.

1648
01:27:52,520 --> 01:27:53,840

01:29:53,080 --> 01:29:59,960

1666
01:30:10,040 --> 01:30:13,320
Speaker 1: Just Be Good to Me, was that he thought that

1667
01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:20,519
Speaker 1: they were also giving secrets away to other acts, Leon

1668
01:30:20,680 --> 01:30:24,960
Speaker 1: Silvers and producing just Keep On Loving Me by the Whispers.

1669
01:30:25,680 --> 01:30:29,000
Speaker 1: Prince never believed that Leon Silvers wrote or produced that song.

1670
01:30:29,160 --> 01:30:33,160
Speaker 1: He thought that it was Jam and Lewis using him

1671
01:30:33,320 --> 01:30:37,559
Speaker 1: as a mask. And Okay, so we got to rewind back.

01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:52,560
Speaker 7: original cast because my parents were watching it and so

1697
01:31:52,920 --> 01:31:55,439
Speaker 7: I saw it like I got I got an idea

1698
01:31:55,479 --> 01:31:57,720
Speaker 7: of it. And then when the reruns were on, then

1699
01:31:57,760 --> 01:31:59,439

1706
01:32:15,240 --> 01:32:17,320

Speaker 7: That was my first episode of the of the first

1715
01:32:38,960 --> 01:32:42,799
Speaker 7: official year. But I came for basically instead of instead

1716
01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:45,600
Speaker 7: of auditioning, they brought me in for the last I

1717
01:32:45,680 --> 01:32:48,840
Speaker 7: did an audition, which is so so stupid and weird,

1718
01:32:49,240 --> 01:32:51,000
Speaker 7: and it's a miracle that I ended up on the show.

1719
01:32:51,080 --> 01:32:53,680
Speaker 7: But instead I came and I had a meeting with

1720
01:32:53,800 --> 01:32:56,240
Speaker 7: Laurene because I met Higgins and t Shuan Shan, who

1721
01:32:56,240 --> 01:32:57,200
Speaker 7: was a writer, and they came to the show and

1722
01:32:57,200 --> 01:32:59,080
Speaker 7: they're like, you should come audition, and I had a

1723
01:32:59,200 --> 01:33:02,559
Speaker 7: janky ass man was like, don't do it. The contract's

1724
01:33:02,560 --> 01:33:03,880
Speaker 7: really bad. And I listened to her because I was

1725
01:33:03,880 --> 01:33:06,639
Speaker 7: an idiot. I was like twenty five maybe twenty six

1726
01:33:07,680 --> 01:33:11,280
Speaker 7: and old enough to know better. But I listened because

1727
01:33:11,320 --> 01:33:13,960
Speaker 7: she knew about it. And so I didn't come, and

1728
01:33:14,080 --> 01:33:15,600
Speaker 7: I don't know how, but I saw Steve again and

1729
01:33:15,600 --> 01:33:18,040
Speaker 7: he's like, you really should come back, and and then

1730
01:33:18,120 --> 01:33:19,760
Speaker 7: I got the call like come meet with Louren. I

1731
01:33:19,840 --> 01:33:21,640
Speaker 7: met with Louren. They had my tape, like I sent

1732
01:33:21,720 --> 01:33:24,599
Speaker 7: a tape of like my sketches, and then and then

1733
01:33:24,640 --> 01:33:26,280
Speaker 7: I came and I just did three weeks here and

1734
01:33:26,360 --> 01:33:29,320
Speaker 7: I didn't really know what the hell I was doing.

1735
01:33:29,520 --> 01:33:32,360
Speaker 7: Like they brought me in, they took my picture. That's

1736
01:33:32,520 --> 01:33:34,439
Speaker 7: that like on my first day. That ends up on

1737
01:33:34,560 --> 01:33:37,720
Speaker 7: seventeen and you're just like, what's this for? And then

1738
01:33:37,880 --> 01:33:40,519
Speaker 7: we didn't have a pitch meeting that day because John

1739
01:33:40,560 --> 01:33:42,800
Speaker 7: Gubman was the host and he didn't want to come in.

1740
01:33:42,880 --> 01:33:44,400
Speaker 7: I don't know something. We didn't have a pitch meeting

1741
01:33:44,439 --> 01:33:47,040
Speaker 7: on Monday, so we just started. I just started on

1742
01:33:47,120 --> 01:33:49,400
Speaker 7: a Tuesday. And I remember I knew Chris Parnell because

1743
01:33:49,400 --> 01:33:51,640
Speaker 7: he was from the Groundings. And I said what do

1744
01:33:51,760 --> 01:33:53,400
Speaker 7: we do? And he was like, we write? And I

1745
01:33:53,479 --> 01:33:56,479
Speaker 7: said till when? And he said all night? And then

1746
01:33:56,479 --> 01:33:58,599
Speaker 7: everyone's doors just started closing, and I was like, why

1747
01:33:58,640 --> 01:33:59,519
Speaker 7: the fuck am I suposed to do it?

1748
01:33:59,520 --> 01:34:01,040
Speaker 2: And you have a play mate? Who were you paired with?

1749
01:34:01,280 --> 01:34:03,720
Speaker 7: Well, me and Zach Galifanakis were weirdly put in an

1750
01:34:03,760 --> 01:34:06,600
Speaker 7: office together. But he didn't know he had auditioned, but

1751
01:34:06,640 --> 01:34:08,600
Speaker 7: he didn't know if he was there to be in

1752
01:34:08,680 --> 01:34:10,479
Speaker 7: the cast. Or as a writer, and he found out

1753
01:34:10,479 --> 01:34:11,960
Speaker 7: the hard way that he was brought in as like

1754
01:34:12,040 --> 01:34:14,439
Speaker 7: a guest writer. And we were just walking back to

1755
01:34:14,520 --> 01:34:17,120
Speaker 7: our hotel at the time like so bombed, like just

1756
01:34:17,200 --> 01:34:19,280
Speaker 7: disillusion and like we just did not know what was

1757
01:34:19,320 --> 01:34:21,080
Speaker 7: going on. It was so bizarre, and it was like

1758
01:34:21,479 --> 01:34:23,080
Speaker 7: it was like starting school at the end of the

1759
01:34:23,160 --> 01:34:25,599
Speaker 7: school year, when like everybody has a place to sit

1760
01:34:25,680 --> 01:34:26,960
Speaker 7: in the cafeteria, you know.

1761
01:34:27,439 --> 01:34:31,880
Speaker 2: So who warmed up to you first Molly and Will, and.

1762
01:34:31,960 --> 01:34:34,960
Speaker 7: I knew Parnell because they had Molly and Will had

1763
01:34:35,040 --> 01:34:37,080
Speaker 7: nothing to lose. They were like the prom king and Queen.

1764
01:34:37,160 --> 01:34:39,080
Speaker 7: So they were like, hey, how you doing. And then

1765
01:34:39,160 --> 01:34:42,680
Speaker 7: I had a mutual friend because Anna. At the time

1766
01:34:42,720 --> 01:34:44,960
Speaker 7: there were a lot That's the thing about the ground

1767
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:48,960
Speaker 7: Links is that I knew that people from there went

1768
01:34:49,040 --> 01:34:50,600
Speaker 7: onto the show, and I was like, okay, so I

1769
01:34:50,680 --> 01:34:52,800
Speaker 7: got to go there first because at the time, when

1770
01:34:52,800 --> 01:34:54,080
Speaker 7: I got out of college, I was like, all right,

1771
01:34:54,120 --> 01:34:56,280
Speaker 7: I'm going to go to the Groundlings. That's gonna be

1772
01:34:56,320 --> 01:34:59,439
Speaker 7: my graduate school. And at that time it was the

1773
01:34:59,720 --> 01:35:03,400
Speaker 7: people that were there from the Growlings were Will Ferrell

1774
01:35:03,479 --> 01:35:08,280
Speaker 7: on a Gas Star, Chris Catan, Chris Parnell and who

1775
01:35:08,320 --> 01:35:10,280
Speaker 7: am I forgetting somebody else?

1776
01:35:10,320 --> 01:35:10,439
Speaker 2: Oh?

1777
01:35:10,479 --> 01:35:15,120
Speaker 7: In Cherio Terry, they were like five current cast members

1778
01:35:15,160 --> 01:35:17,000
Speaker 7: that were all out of the ground Links. I was like,

1779
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:18,439
Speaker 7: all right, so what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go

1780
01:35:18,439 --> 01:35:21,439
Speaker 7: here because I had gone to the Growndings. I weirdly,

1781
01:35:21,920 --> 01:35:23,920
Speaker 7: I was weirdly introduced to the Growndings theater when I

1782
01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:26,240
Speaker 7: was fourteen because I went to school with Jack Black,

1783
01:35:26,320 --> 01:35:29,120
Speaker 7: who was like a couple of years older than me,

1784
01:35:29,280 --> 01:35:32,360
Speaker 7: and this like theater kid that I just connected with

1785
01:35:32,600 --> 01:35:34,519
Speaker 7: right away, and he became kind of like my mentors.

1786
01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:38,000
Speaker 7: He was just like a little bit older and got

1787
01:35:38,040 --> 01:35:40,040
Speaker 7: me into improv and everything, and he took me to

1788
01:35:40,120 --> 01:35:43,439
Speaker 7: see the Groundlings when I was like fourteen, so I

1789
01:35:43,520 --> 01:35:45,360
Speaker 7: knew about the theater and then I knew it was

1790
01:35:45,400 --> 01:35:47,680
Speaker 7: in La Like it was a way to get into

1791
01:35:47,720 --> 01:35:49,880
Speaker 7: it because people out here go to Chicago, they go

1792
01:35:49,960 --> 01:35:53,760
Speaker 7: to Second City, and so I just went, you know,

1793
01:35:54,200 --> 01:35:55,040
Speaker 7: in my own backyard.

1794
01:35:55,160 --> 01:35:58,200
Speaker 2: Was it hard to adjust there at the Groundings? Yeah?

1795
01:35:58,320 --> 01:36:00,639
Speaker 7: No, it was exactly where I should have been, because

1796
01:36:00,640 --> 01:36:02,320
Speaker 7: it was like it's like when you find your people,

1797
01:36:03,120 --> 01:36:04,519
Speaker 7: it's like, oh, this is where I should have been.

1798
01:36:04,520 --> 01:36:06,280
Speaker 7: I shouldn't. Why did I go to college in the

1799
01:36:06,360 --> 01:36:09,960
Speaker 7: woods in like northern California and study women's studies with

1800
01:36:10,080 --> 01:36:13,439
Speaker 7: like Angela Davis, Like I should be here with all

1801
01:36:13,479 --> 01:36:17,360
Speaker 7: these you know, horny nerds. This is this is where

1802
01:36:17,360 --> 01:36:17,800
Speaker 7: I belong.

1803
01:36:18,240 --> 01:36:19,840
Speaker 2: Oh, God, see, I don't know if I want to

1804
01:36:19,880 --> 01:36:20,719
Speaker 2: share this story.

1805
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:21,880
Speaker 7: And you're about to, you do I?

1806
01:36:22,560 --> 01:36:22,840
Speaker 2: Okay?

1807
01:36:23,040 --> 01:36:33,240
Speaker 1: So I once dated a comedian and a damn okay

1808
01:36:33,439 --> 01:36:37,640
Speaker 1: so go in son yeah and Jewish no no, no

1809
01:36:37,840 --> 01:36:41,920
Speaker 1: no no. The thing the thing was was that we

1810
01:36:42,360 --> 01:36:45,200
Speaker 1: saw like like we were Me and my friends would

1811
01:36:45,240 --> 01:36:50,280
Speaker 1: watch her act, uh, and she wasn't fully developed yet

1812
01:36:50,439 --> 01:36:54,840
Speaker 1: as a comedian. And the thing was is that my

1813
01:36:55,000 --> 01:36:58,639
Speaker 1: friends started laughing at me because they were like face

1814
01:36:58,680 --> 01:36:59,040
Speaker 1: and mirrors.

1815
01:36:59,080 --> 01:36:59,719
Speaker 2: She's not funny.

1816
01:37:00,400 --> 01:37:05,639
Speaker 1: So every time we come to the club, they were

1817
01:37:05,960 --> 01:37:08,800
Speaker 1: laughing at me and at her.

1818
01:37:10,040 --> 01:37:14,120
Speaker 2: But in her head, she's like your son, I'm killing it.

1819
01:37:15,920 --> 01:37:19,240
Speaker 7: Like a stand up. She's a stand just stand up.

1820
01:37:19,640 --> 01:37:22,160
Speaker 7: I've never ever done stand that's a whole other animal.

1821
01:37:22,800 --> 01:37:25,240
Speaker 7: And that's even worse. Like that's why I won't do it,

1822
01:37:25,280 --> 01:37:28,280
Speaker 7: because like you fail at that, you're that's it.

1823
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:32,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you have to drown first before you

1824
01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:35,799
Speaker 1: suscitate yourself and it's just like you gotta be horrible

1825
01:37:35,880 --> 01:37:38,240
Speaker 1: and then you learn the tricks of the trade.

1826
01:37:38,560 --> 01:37:40,160
Speaker 7: I thought that if you were if you want to

1827
01:37:40,200 --> 01:37:41,439
Speaker 7: be a community, you had to do stand up. So

1828
01:37:41,520 --> 01:37:43,040
Speaker 7: when I was in college, I wrote some stand up

1829
01:37:43,040 --> 01:37:46,599
Speaker 7: and I was like, I'm never doing this terrifying because

1830
01:37:46,600 --> 01:37:49,599
Speaker 7: I don't like to be exposed. I don't I really,

1831
01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:52,320
Speaker 7: I don't like to be vulnerable, and stand up is vulnerable.

1832
01:37:52,600 --> 01:37:55,000
Speaker 7: Sand up sam is so much more difficult, in my opinion,

1833
01:37:55,479 --> 01:37:58,240
Speaker 7: and I just like to be other people. I mean,

1834
01:37:58,320 --> 01:38:01,920
Speaker 7: it's that's what that's what I'm programmed to do.

1835
01:38:03,439 --> 01:38:04,280
Speaker 2: So well.

1836
01:38:04,280 --> 01:38:06,439
Speaker 7: I mean, I know, it's just it's just so much

1837
01:38:06,560 --> 01:38:10,920
Speaker 7: easier to be to not be vulnerable. And I'm sure

1838
01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:13,200
Speaker 7: when I was a kid, that's like how I hit it.

1839
01:38:13,400 --> 01:38:15,479
Speaker 7: And then I was like, oh, my friends liked this,

1840
01:38:15,680 --> 01:38:18,760
Speaker 7: should I should keep doing it. But I also think

1841
01:38:20,040 --> 01:38:23,360
Speaker 7: that being around music, I just developed. I think having

1842
01:38:23,439 --> 01:38:26,519
Speaker 7: a musical ear made me like a little like a

1843
01:38:26,840 --> 01:38:28,320
Speaker 7: like a parrot, like a little bit of a mimic.

1844
01:38:28,760 --> 01:38:31,479
Speaker 7: So I didn't realize I was doing voices and stuff

1845
01:38:31,560 --> 01:38:33,200
Speaker 7: when I was doing them, But I think I was

1846
01:38:33,280 --> 01:38:34,679
Speaker 7: just always doing them. Like if you tell a story

1847
01:38:34,680 --> 01:38:36,800
Speaker 7: about somebody and you're like, and then she was like

1848
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:37,479
Speaker 7: why did you.

1849
01:38:39,120 --> 01:38:39,280
Speaker 2: Why?

1850
01:38:39,439 --> 01:38:41,439
Speaker 7: Why did you get the spicy check in? And then

1851
01:38:41,479 --> 01:38:43,240
Speaker 7: you talk like the person and then you realize like, oh,

1852
01:38:43,280 --> 01:38:45,320
Speaker 7: I'm I'm just copying sounds.

1853
01:38:45,800 --> 01:38:48,439
Speaker 12: I have a question, Yes, sir, do you think like

1854
01:38:48,560 --> 01:38:51,800
Speaker 12: growing up around music helped you with your comedy, like

1855
01:38:51,920 --> 01:38:53,600
Speaker 12: with timing and all that with rhythm and.

1856
01:38:53,760 --> 01:38:57,599
Speaker 7: I kind of think they're intertwined. I do I feel

1857
01:38:57,640 --> 01:38:58,120
Speaker 7: like they're.

1858
01:38:59,560 --> 01:39:04,519
Speaker 4: I do I feel like they're saying they want be

1859
01:39:04,640 --> 01:39:05,840
Speaker 4: saying and vice versas.

1860
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:06,400
Speaker 8: Yes, they do.

1861
01:39:06,520 --> 01:39:08,960
Speaker 7: And I've never I've never I've talked to many musicians

1862
01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:11,000
Speaker 7: about this, and I've never gotten an answer why. But

1863
01:39:11,600 --> 01:39:15,920
Speaker 7: musicians and comedians are are each other's their counterpart, that

1864
01:39:15,960 --> 01:39:19,920
Speaker 7: we're totally connected, Absolutely, But I think I think that's

1865
01:39:19,920 --> 01:39:22,599
Speaker 7: because there are also skills that other people you can't

1866
01:39:22,720 --> 01:39:25,320
Speaker 7: just you can't just acquire them, You have to naturally

1867
01:39:25,439 --> 01:39:26,479
Speaker 7: possess them both.

1868
01:39:27,400 --> 01:39:31,000
Speaker 2: Do you think that the way you, in a sort

1869
01:39:31,040 --> 01:39:33,600
Speaker 2: of therapeutic way, dealt with Absolutely.

1870
01:39:33,880 --> 01:39:35,280
Speaker 7: I know exactly what you're asking.

1871
01:39:35,080 --> 01:39:38,960
Speaker 2: Because I know no comedian or funny person.

1872
01:39:40,120 --> 01:39:43,280
Speaker 1: Uh, especially with all the time that I spent at

1873
01:39:43,320 --> 01:39:46,679
Speaker 1: the comedy seller and really getting to know all those people,

1874
01:39:47,320 --> 01:39:51,080
Speaker 1: Like behind every person that's ever made me laugh, there's

1875
01:39:51,200 --> 01:39:55,760
Speaker 1: like a big giant bowl of pain somewhere in their backyard,

1876
01:39:55,840 --> 01:39:56,519
Speaker 1: buried somewhere.

1877
01:39:56,600 --> 01:39:56,720
Speaker 2: Well.

1878
01:39:56,720 --> 01:39:58,560
Speaker 7: I would also I would also go out on a

1879
01:39:58,640 --> 01:40:02,200
Speaker 7: limb and say, I mean, I'm no therapist, but I

1880
01:40:02,280 --> 01:40:05,599
Speaker 7: would guess that it was also an active rebellion from

1881
01:40:05,680 --> 01:40:09,040
Speaker 7: my from my family. You know, my parents are musicians.

1882
01:40:09,640 --> 01:40:12,040
Speaker 7: So I was like, I'm not gonna sing because that's like,

1883
01:40:12,360 --> 01:40:15,080
Speaker 7: that's like my that's too painful, that's too hard, Like

1884
01:40:15,760 --> 01:40:17,760
Speaker 7: I don't want to expose that pardon me, because that

1885
01:40:18,200 --> 01:40:20,640
Speaker 7: like I don't even think I truly sang in my

1886
01:40:20,800 --> 01:40:24,040
Speaker 7: own voice, truly truly sang songs in my own voice,

1887
01:40:24,120 --> 01:40:28,920
Speaker 7: and publicly until fairly recently, I've only ever.

1888
01:40:28,920 --> 01:40:31,240
Speaker 2: Sung at like channeling other people.

1889
01:40:31,400 --> 01:40:34,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, because it was too painful because it was just

1890
01:40:34,439 --> 01:40:38,760
Speaker 7: like so connected to my mother. So I can sing

1891
01:40:38,840 --> 01:40:41,080
Speaker 7: a funny ass song like for the rest of my life,

1892
01:40:41,120 --> 01:40:44,840
Speaker 7: Like I can sing anything funny, and that's probably why

1893
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:47,720
Speaker 7: covers are easy. But when it comes to like my

1894
01:40:47,840 --> 01:40:54,840
Speaker 7: actual my real voice, singing is very very intense for me,

1895
01:40:55,040 --> 01:40:58,760
Speaker 7: and I think the probably the natural, Like just the

1896
01:40:58,960 --> 01:41:02,800
Speaker 7: light from comic you just was so much more. You

1897
01:41:02,880 --> 01:41:05,599
Speaker 7: can hide, you can hide in comedy, and I can.

1898
01:41:06,040 --> 01:41:08,200
Speaker 7: You can hide and be a million things. And then

1899
01:41:08,240 --> 01:41:10,640
Speaker 7: I'd also just think it's so fascinating to like be

1900
01:41:10,880 --> 01:41:15,080
Speaker 7: mixed and then just like pretend to be other people,

1901
01:41:15,520 --> 01:41:18,320
Speaker 7: you know, because you're like it has so much to

1902
01:41:18,360 --> 01:41:20,280
Speaker 7: do with the time I was growing up, Like being

1903
01:41:20,360 --> 01:41:23,080
Speaker 7: mixed wasn't as cool as it is now, you know,

1904
01:41:23,479 --> 01:41:25,120
Speaker 7: like the cause we show everyone on the show was

1905
01:41:25,240 --> 01:41:28,400
Speaker 7: considered black, but like Lisa Bonet was mixed, right, you know,

1906
01:41:28,640 --> 01:41:32,880
Speaker 7: like people didn't even say what mixed was. And so

1907
01:41:32,960 --> 01:41:34,639
Speaker 7: I think it was just easier to like just pretend

1908
01:41:34,680 --> 01:41:37,519
Speaker 7: to like be other people. And it's just all undertwined.

1909
01:41:37,560 --> 01:41:40,559
Speaker 7: But yes, I think it's absolutely that. And it's also

1910
01:41:40,640 --> 01:41:42,960
Speaker 7: like that rebellion from what your parents do, you have

1911
01:41:43,080 --> 01:41:45,639
Speaker 7: to do something else, But it was also cool. Comedy

1912
01:41:45,720 --> 01:41:48,720
Speaker 7: was cool to them, Like my mom was, like I

1913
01:41:48,800 --> 01:41:50,840
Speaker 7: think I remember my parents going to see like Richard

1914
01:41:50,920 --> 01:41:55,880
Speaker 7: Pryor concerts and there's some famous I got mister Mister

1915
01:41:56,120 --> 01:41:57,040
Speaker 7: Rudolph and the Monkey.

1916
01:41:57,760 --> 01:41:59,000
Speaker 2: Yes, is that what it's called?

1917
01:42:01,720 --> 01:42:04,280
Speaker 8: I knew it fucking with my dad. Yeah, I knew it.

1918
01:42:04,520 --> 01:42:04,880
Speaker 2: I knew it.

1919
01:42:04,960 --> 01:42:09,599
Speaker 1: He had a character called Miss Rudolph that his mud

1920
01:42:09,680 --> 01:42:13,200
Speaker 1: boone character would have to give like a chicken's leg

1921
01:42:13,320 --> 01:42:16,839
Speaker 1: to like like an old toothsayer lady like Miss Rudolph

1922
01:42:16,960 --> 01:42:20,240
Speaker 1: was always a name that I always heard, and it.

1923
01:42:20,360 --> 01:42:22,160
Speaker 7: Was about my mom and she and he would fuck

1924
01:42:22,200 --> 01:42:24,400
Speaker 7: with my dad, like when they would be sitting there,

1925
01:42:24,439 --> 01:42:25,040
Speaker 7: but it was I think.

1926
01:42:25,200 --> 01:42:27,840
Speaker 1: I even have some outtakes of Richard Pryor concerts where

1927
01:42:27,960 --> 01:42:30,160
Speaker 1: like your mom was always in the audience.

1928
01:42:30,320 --> 01:42:33,560
Speaker 7: I don't three concerts in which I know that's what

1929
01:42:33,640 --> 01:42:35,479
Speaker 7: I heard too, And I actually don't know them as

1930
01:42:35,520 --> 01:42:37,920
Speaker 7: well as you do, because as a kid, I don't

1931
01:42:37,920 --> 01:42:39,960
Speaker 7: think they were exposing me to the recordings. But I

1932
01:42:40,040 --> 01:42:44,880
Speaker 7: knew about it, like enough, I need to revisit Miss

1933
01:42:44,960 --> 01:42:45,759
Speaker 7: Rudolph and the Monkey.

1934
01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:48,479
Speaker 1: Well, see the tables have turned now, because now I

1935
01:42:48,560 --> 01:42:54,679
Speaker 1: think it's like you're Maya Rudolph and that's Maya Rudolph's mother,

1936
01:42:55,120 --> 01:42:56,200
Speaker 1: Like it's not even.

1937
01:42:57,720 --> 01:42:59,320
Speaker 7: Well, that's again back to you.

1938
01:42:59,520 --> 01:43:01,600
Speaker 1: Was like, you know, the the escaping the shadow of

1939
01:43:01,680 --> 01:43:04,720
Speaker 1: being many Riperton's daughter as opposed to well, you know what.

1940
01:43:04,880 --> 01:43:08,679
Speaker 7: Though, that doesn't exist for me because I will say

1941
01:43:10,240 --> 01:43:12,200
Speaker 7: growing up, I didn't feel like my mother was a

1942
01:43:12,240 --> 01:43:14,240
Speaker 7: household name. I feel like people who knew my mother

1943
01:43:14,360 --> 01:43:18,120
Speaker 7: knew my mother, or they'd go or they'd know that song.

1944
01:43:18,400 --> 01:43:20,840
Speaker 7: But I didn't feel I wasn't Diana Ross's daughter, Like

1945
01:43:20,920 --> 01:43:23,160
Speaker 7: it was a different thing, and so people didn't know.

1946
01:43:24,320 --> 01:43:26,920
Speaker 2: How was that like for you? Like did you know

1947
01:43:27,560 --> 01:43:28,640
Speaker 2: that your mother was.

1948
01:43:30,439 --> 01:43:30,639
Speaker 9: Yeah?

1949
01:43:30,720 --> 01:43:33,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like was that ever or did you or even

1950
01:43:33,160 --> 01:43:35,640
Speaker 4: like I think, did you know even like what your

1951
01:43:35,720 --> 01:43:37,920
Speaker 4: dad was doing, Like did you know that you were

1952
01:43:37,920 --> 01:43:41,320
Speaker 4: maybe a little more privileged or had you know then

1953
01:43:41,479 --> 01:43:43,160
Speaker 4: maybe other kids or whatever.

1954
01:43:43,800 --> 01:43:47,759
Speaker 1: Not even with like even our era like Tribe samples,

1955
01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:51,599
Speaker 1: where like many ripton was like such a yeah, I didn't.

1956
01:43:51,800 --> 01:43:54,120
Speaker 7: I mean that was really fascinating to me. Like starting

1957
01:43:54,200 --> 01:43:57,080
Speaker 7: college was when that Tribe album came out that was

1958
01:43:57,160 --> 01:44:00,200
Speaker 7: literally like half of it was like my mother, you know,

1959
01:44:00,400 --> 01:44:03,200
Speaker 7: or songs that songs that I'd grown up listening to

1960
01:44:03,600 --> 01:44:05,760
Speaker 7: and had stopped listening to because it was too hard

1961
01:44:05,800 --> 01:44:08,240
Speaker 7: to put those records on. But it was just becoming

1962
01:44:08,320 --> 01:44:10,320
Speaker 7: cool that like my friend who was like the DJ

1963
01:44:10,439 --> 01:44:12,599
Speaker 7: in college would play like, you know those songs where

1964
01:44:12,600 --> 01:44:14,320
Speaker 7: I was like, are you playing my mom?

1965
01:44:14,840 --> 01:44:15,040
Speaker 2: Wow?

1966
01:44:15,080 --> 01:44:16,760
Speaker 7: You're playing my mother's music. And then I was like,

1967
01:44:16,800 --> 01:44:19,519
Speaker 7: wait a minute, that's why that's familiar to me. It's

1968
01:44:19,720 --> 01:44:22,120
Speaker 7: that's my that's my mother, you know where that's like

1969
01:44:22,160 --> 01:44:26,640
Speaker 7: the beginning, Yes, exactly, And that was the stuff my

1970
01:44:26,720 --> 01:44:29,200
Speaker 7: dad and I would talk about, like because sampling was

1971
01:44:29,240 --> 01:44:31,760
Speaker 7: so fascinating to him at the time, and talking about

1972
01:44:31,800 --> 01:44:35,040
Speaker 7: that and what that had become in the industry because

1973
01:44:35,040 --> 01:44:38,160
Speaker 7: my dad's such an artist, and was like, but you

1974
01:44:38,280 --> 01:44:40,760
Speaker 7: know what that that to me was that was such

1975
01:44:40,800 --> 01:44:45,720
Speaker 7: a prideful moment of like those cool people know, like

1976
01:44:45,960 --> 01:44:48,280
Speaker 7: my people that it took.

1977
01:44:48,200 --> 01:44:51,479
Speaker 2: Me a long time to revisit music well.

1978
01:44:51,439 --> 01:44:54,559
Speaker 7: Yes, and also to realize that people were out there. Plus,

1979
01:44:54,640 --> 01:44:57,759
Speaker 7: my last name is Rudolph, so until I really started acting,

1980
01:44:57,800 --> 01:45:00,880
Speaker 7: people didn't know that was my mom. And then and

1981
01:45:01,000 --> 01:45:03,639
Speaker 7: then and then the other part about my mom that's

1982
01:45:03,720 --> 01:45:07,599
Speaker 7: just so fascinating is like people are so I don't

1983
01:45:07,640 --> 01:45:09,400
Speaker 7: know what it is. I don't know if it's because

1984
01:45:09,439 --> 01:45:11,120
Speaker 7: she was so young when she died, and it was like,

1985
01:45:11,800 --> 01:45:13,680
Speaker 7: you know, pre YouTube, we didn't have like you were

1986
01:45:13,760 --> 01:45:15,240
Speaker 7: the first person I ever met. It was like, I

1987
01:45:15,320 --> 01:45:17,840
Speaker 7: have footage of like your mom on talk shows and

1988
01:45:17,840 --> 01:45:19,280
Speaker 7: I was like what I didn't know that stuff. I

1989
01:45:19,320 --> 01:45:23,280
Speaker 7: thought all that stuff was gone. And people have always

1990
01:45:23,439 --> 01:45:29,519
Speaker 7: like used me to vent like their their feelings about her.

1991
01:45:29,560 --> 01:45:33,200
Speaker 7: I'm like this weird funnel for like mini, like your

1992
01:45:33,320 --> 01:45:35,679
Speaker 7: mother was so like and it's so I get stopped

1993
01:45:35,720 --> 01:45:38,559
Speaker 7: on this. Yes, it's so deep.

1994
01:45:38,760 --> 01:45:40,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it told me like seven years to even

1995
01:45:40,479 --> 01:45:41,320
Speaker 2: start to bring it up.

1996
01:45:41,360 --> 01:45:43,640
Speaker 7: Like I was just like, I'm a big fan, but

1997
01:45:43,800 --> 01:45:46,640
Speaker 7: that's different and that's not I mean I truly like

1998
01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:52,040
Speaker 7: I'll get the occasional just random adult you know who

1999
01:45:52,080 --> 01:45:56,680
Speaker 7: will just be like it's like they're like, you know,

2000
01:45:56,760 --> 01:45:59,120
Speaker 7: and they just find me. And this was way before

2001
01:45:59,160 --> 01:46:01,000
Speaker 7: I was ever on the show or anything like that.

2002
01:46:01,479 --> 01:46:01,759
Speaker 8: Wow.

2003
01:46:03,320 --> 01:46:11,480
Speaker 7: But there's always been some layer of her that is otherworldly.

2004
01:46:11,800 --> 01:46:15,200
Speaker 7: I think because of that, that element of her voice

2005
01:46:15,320 --> 01:46:19,360
Speaker 7: being something else, something that feels sort of like non

2006
01:46:19,960 --> 01:46:24,880
Speaker 7: human to a lot of people, people just associate her

2007
01:46:24,960 --> 01:46:28,160
Speaker 7: with like something else. There's like I've just always gotten

2008
01:46:28,439 --> 01:46:30,519
Speaker 7: people stopping me about her in that way.

2009
01:46:31,280 --> 01:46:34,240
Speaker 2: I think it's because she's she's spiritual. She's in that

2010
01:46:34,280 --> 01:46:35,280
Speaker 2: Stevie Wonder category.

2011
01:46:35,360 --> 01:46:37,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like because your mom didn't really come from the

2012
01:46:37,920 --> 01:46:42,320
Speaker 1: gospel background of black music, so I would say, she's

2013
01:46:42,400 --> 01:46:47,639
Speaker 1: almost the shade of her of that period, because shade,

2014
01:46:48,840 --> 01:46:52,320
Speaker 1: you know, meant a lot to black people and white

2015
01:46:52,360 --> 01:46:55,759
Speaker 1: people like but you know, she didn't come from a gospel,

2016
01:46:56,520 --> 01:46:59,400
Speaker 1: you know, down home background, at least the way that

2017
01:46:59,479 --> 01:47:01,880
Speaker 1: she project to herself there was like a class thing.

2018
01:47:02,120 --> 01:47:04,080
Speaker 4: I say, it was very classic my mother, I mean,

2019
01:47:04,120 --> 01:47:06,599
Speaker 4: my grant, I'm sorry. My aunt was a big Many

2020
01:47:06,680 --> 01:47:08,720
Speaker 4: Ribson fan and that was the first time I got

2021
01:47:10,439 --> 01:47:12,880
Speaker 4: I was introduced to her music. And this is like,

2022
01:47:13,120 --> 01:47:16,200
Speaker 4: you know, you talk about how your parents, that was

2023
01:47:16,240 --> 01:47:18,400
Speaker 4: the first time they usually talk about death, like her

2024
01:47:18,479 --> 01:47:21,080
Speaker 4: death talk about it. I remember my mom because my

2025
01:47:21,160 --> 01:47:23,320
Speaker 4: mom would play Loving You like just she would just

2026
01:47:23,320 --> 01:47:25,160
Speaker 4: play Loving You. And I remember here, I was like, Mama,

2027
01:47:25,160 --> 01:47:26,519
Speaker 4: who is that? And she was like, there's many Ribs.

2028
01:47:26,560 --> 01:47:28,559
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, who is that? And she would tell me, oh,

2029
01:47:28,680 --> 01:47:30,600
Speaker 4: this lady, you know, she died and you know, and

2030
01:47:30,760 --> 01:47:32,640
Speaker 4: so then you know, I looked at the album cover

2031
01:47:32,760 --> 01:47:34,719
Speaker 4: and it was like, I think it Avengeans in Paradise.

2032
01:47:34,720 --> 01:47:36,280
Speaker 4: So she's with the Lion. I think that's the lion.

2033
01:47:36,439 --> 01:47:39,000
Speaker 4: YEP cover is that one? And so my aunt would

2034
01:47:39,040 --> 01:47:41,080
Speaker 4: have all our records and this is in the eighties,

2035
01:47:41,120 --> 01:47:45,280
Speaker 4: and so my aunt was like she was very this

2036
01:47:45,400 --> 01:47:47,200
Speaker 4: is kind of like she was like a black yuppie

2037
01:47:47,320 --> 01:47:48,800
Speaker 4: kind of you know what I mean. She was teaching

2038
01:47:48,840 --> 01:47:52,040
Speaker 4: school chat on apartment. She had the first like answer machine,

2039
01:47:52,120 --> 01:47:53,960
Speaker 4: like that was the first time I ever saw an

2040
01:47:53,960 --> 01:47:57,679
Speaker 4: answer machine ever. And so she would play your mom's

2041
01:47:57,760 --> 01:48:00,479
Speaker 4: music all the time, and it was just like what

2042
01:48:00,560 --> 01:48:02,600
Speaker 4: a Mi said, it was really like classy. I just

2043
01:48:02,680 --> 01:48:06,320
Speaker 4: remember seeing her and it wasn't like the disco stuff,

2044
01:48:06,360 --> 01:48:10,040
Speaker 4: like she didn't like you. I mean, y'all shot for records,

2045
01:48:10,080 --> 01:48:12,080
Speaker 4: so you know if you see an album cover and

2046
01:48:12,200 --> 01:48:14,519
Speaker 4: you know, and it's like nine niggas in.

2047
01:48:14,600 --> 01:48:15,599
Speaker 2: Silver suits and shit.

2048
01:48:17,280 --> 01:48:20,720
Speaker 4: I mean, your mother was always just really she just

2049
01:48:20,800 --> 01:48:22,680
Speaker 4: had her own things, just really classy. And I just

2050
01:48:22,760 --> 01:48:25,200
Speaker 4: always remember that do you ever see the lion attacking

2051
01:48:25,280 --> 01:48:25,679
Speaker 4: her video?

2052
01:48:25,920 --> 01:48:28,120
Speaker 7: Yes, you can see my dad coming in to make

2053
01:48:28,120 --> 01:48:30,680
Speaker 7: sure she's okay. It was like a promo commercial. Show

2054
01:48:30,720 --> 01:48:32,840
Speaker 7: was actually a recreation of the because I think we

2055
01:48:33,000 --> 01:48:34,840
Speaker 7: me and my brother were there for the photosoo, because

2056
01:48:34,840 --> 01:48:37,160
Speaker 7: I remember having ice cream and seeing them, like my

2057
01:48:37,280 --> 01:48:40,120
Speaker 7: mother is sitting next to a lion and we were

2058
01:48:40,160 --> 01:48:41,880
Speaker 7: like looking but we were like far away and everything.

2059
01:48:42,040 --> 01:48:44,479
Speaker 7: Like in the lion see my ice cream, it was

2060
01:48:44,520 --> 01:48:47,240
Speaker 7: a different lion the second time they shot it. Oh,

2061
01:48:47,680 --> 01:48:50,920
Speaker 7: and this lion wasn't this he's just kind of like panic.

2062
01:48:51,040 --> 01:48:53,519
Speaker 7: I guess he had been declawed, so she wasn't hurt

2063
01:48:53,640 --> 01:48:54,080
Speaker 7: or anything.

2064
01:48:54,800 --> 01:48:57,839
Speaker 2: But yeah, you see, and there's no sound so you can't.

2065
01:48:57,680 --> 01:49:00,439
Speaker 7: Tell if anyone's screaming or not. It was like somebody's

2066
01:49:00,439 --> 01:49:03,360
Speaker 7: super ereat care Chills.

2067
01:49:03,680 --> 01:49:05,920
Speaker 1: So I hear that you are going to be spending

2068
01:49:05,920 --> 01:49:08,000

01:49:08,840 --> 01:49:09,679
Speaker 1: the Mayam Marty.

2070
01:49:10,000 --> 01:49:13,120
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, what made you want to bring back the

2071
01:49:13,720 --> 01:49:14,880
Speaker 2: variety show format?

2072
01:49:15,120 --> 01:49:17,679
Speaker 7: This is what I do, and this is what Marty does.

2073
01:49:18,120 --> 01:49:18,320
Speaker 2: You know.

2074
01:49:20,240 --> 01:49:22,479
Speaker 7: I like, what's that Martin Martin short?

2075
01:49:22,560 --> 01:49:26,920
Speaker 2: Yes, it's Martin Short.

2076
01:49:27,240 --> 01:49:29,479
Speaker 7: That would be a very different show, although I.

2077
01:49:29,479 --> 01:49:30,960
Speaker 2: Would love to do that, Martin.

2078
01:49:34,920 --> 01:49:38,240
Speaker 7: So yeah, the show is it's all the stuff that

2079
01:49:38,360 --> 01:49:42,559
Speaker 7: we love. It's it's music and comedy and performance based

2080
01:49:42,640 --> 01:49:44,479
Speaker 7: and really just all the elements of started love that

2081
01:49:44,560 --> 01:49:47,600
Speaker 7: I love that are, you know, getting people together and

2082
01:49:48,200 --> 01:49:50,920
Speaker 7: being goofy and all that stuff. But but I think

2083
01:49:51,040 --> 01:49:55,439
Speaker 7: like just just the stuff that I think probably is

2084
01:49:55,439 --> 01:49:58,360
Speaker 7: the imprint for all of us, which is people coming

2085
01:49:58,400 --> 01:50:00,439
Speaker 7: on and doing things that you didn't normally get to see.

2086
01:50:02,040 --> 01:50:02,200
Speaker 3: Them.

2087
01:50:02,280 --> 01:50:02,880
Speaker 2: Do you know?

2088
01:50:03,200 --> 01:50:07,960
Speaker 7: I just did a thing with Emma Stone and it

2089
01:50:08,080 --> 01:50:09,800
Speaker 7: was like a perfect example of like, that's why I

2090
01:50:09,840 --> 01:50:12,240
Speaker 7: wanted to show she and I sang a song together,

2091
01:50:12,720 --> 01:50:14,600
Speaker 7: and it's not something you would normally see her do,

2092
01:50:15,360 --> 01:50:17,599
Speaker 7: but those were like, those are the things that when

2093
01:50:17,640 --> 01:50:19,800
Speaker 7: you saw a variety show that you're like, wow, I

2094
01:50:19,840 --> 01:50:21,360
Speaker 7: didn't know that guy sang, or I didn't know that

2095
01:50:21,400 --> 01:50:24,200
Speaker 7: person was that funny or just like these just like

2096
01:50:24,360 --> 01:50:26,800
Speaker 7: extra delicious tidbits.

2097
01:50:26,880 --> 01:50:30,479
Speaker 1: Well, based on the super viralness of that particular clip

2098
01:50:30,680 --> 01:50:32,800
Speaker 1: that you did with Emma, First of all, how many times,

2099
01:50:32,960 --> 01:50:35,040
Speaker 1: like how many takes did you guys complete that?

2100
01:50:35,439 --> 01:50:37,320
Speaker 7: We only did it and we only did it twice?

2101
01:50:37,680 --> 01:50:37,920
Speaker 8: Wow?

2102
01:50:38,520 --> 01:50:42,240
Speaker 2: But wow, I can't imagine something over and over and over.

2103
01:50:42,640 --> 01:50:44,479
Speaker 2: Can you explain to our listeners who may not have

2104
01:50:44,560 --> 01:50:46,240
Speaker 2: seen that like what you guys did in that video?

2105
01:50:47,400 --> 01:50:51,599
Speaker 7: I saw these Swedish girls, this band called Errato, these

2106
01:50:51,640 --> 01:50:54,679
Speaker 7: girls from Sweden sitting in their kitchen playing butter tubs

2107
01:50:55,320 --> 01:50:57,720
Speaker 7: to do you know the cup song, which which I

2108
01:50:57,760 --> 01:51:03,160
Speaker 7: guess became famous. Kendrick did, Oh yeah, yeah, yes, So

2109
01:51:03,240 --> 01:51:05,040
Speaker 7: it's the same rhythm, but they did it to the

2110
01:51:05,160 --> 01:51:09,000
Speaker 7: Robinson Call Your Girlfriend, and they did these really beautiful harmonies.

2111
01:51:10,160 --> 01:51:11,920
Speaker 7: And I don't know why, but I was like, I

2112
01:51:12,040 --> 01:51:16,080
Speaker 7: feel like I heard Emma can sing. I wonder if

2113
01:51:16,120 --> 01:51:17,920
Speaker 7: she'd be into doing this, and so I sent it

2114
01:51:18,040 --> 01:51:20,960
Speaker 7: to her and she immediately she was like, wow, that

2115
01:51:21,040 --> 01:51:23,759
Speaker 7: sounds great. And then she immediately sent back a video

2116
01:51:24,520 --> 01:51:26,280
Speaker 7: of her practicing it and she had like picked it

2117
01:51:26,360 --> 01:51:30,120
Speaker 7: up right away. And my daughter, my ten year old daughter, Pearl,

2118
01:51:30,240 --> 01:51:32,280
Speaker 7: was actually helping me out with it, like the day before.

2119
01:51:32,400 --> 01:51:34,599
Speaker 7: My ten year daughter and my twenty three year old

2120
01:51:34,640 --> 01:51:36,920
Speaker 7: cousin were like showing me how to do the cups

2121
01:51:37,439 --> 01:51:40,040
Speaker 7: because I loved the song and I in my head

2122
01:51:40,040 --> 01:51:41,320
Speaker 7: I was like, yeah, let's do it. And then when

2123
01:51:41,320 --> 01:51:42,640
Speaker 7: it came time to do it, I realized, like, I

2124
01:51:42,680 --> 01:51:46,200
Speaker 7: don't know how to do it. Wow, But I didn't.

2125
01:51:46,280 --> 01:51:48,439
Speaker 7: We rehearse a little bit and it was one of

2215
01:56:23,600 --> 01:56:30,560
Speaker 1: by Written by the Glimmerton Twins. Very expensive to clear Foo.

2216
01:56:30,600 --> 01:56:32,400
Speaker 2: Yes a dog man man.

2217
01:56:32,520 --> 01:56:37,320
Speaker 4: I learned U today about Mighty Rudolph that singing her

2218
01:56:37,640 --> 01:56:39,280
Speaker 4: is hard for her, to singing her own voice, which

2219
01:56:39,320 --> 01:56:42,000
Speaker 4: I found very interesting because I really love her voice.

2220
01:56:42,520 --> 01:56:45,080
Speaker 4: So she you know, she says it was hard for her,

2221
01:56:45,560 --> 01:56:47,320
Speaker 4: like she can do funny stuff and kind of hide,

2222
01:56:47,800 --> 01:56:50,520
Speaker 4: but you know, singing in her own voices is, uh,

2223
01:56:51,040 --> 01:56:53,040
Speaker 4: it's kind of intense and painful.

2224
01:56:53,160 --> 01:56:54,920
Speaker 2: That's and that was interesting to me, you know what

2225
01:56:54,960 --> 01:56:55,320
Speaker 2: I'm saying.

2226
01:56:55,400 --> 01:56:58,000
Speaker 4: But I've never ever heard of I never heard anyone

2227
01:56:58,720 --> 01:56:59,960
Speaker 4: talk about the process in that way.

2228
01:57:00,080 --> 01:57:04,080
Speaker 2: Well, when you sing, I mean, don't you sometimes channel man?

2229
01:57:04,240 --> 01:57:07,600
Speaker 4: Honestly, with my singing, it kind of just happened, So

2230
01:57:08,800 --> 01:57:11,160
Speaker 4: I would say, I mean, for the years that I've

2231
01:57:11,200 --> 01:57:14,280
Speaker 4: been singing, Like seriously, I probably really just found my

2232
01:57:14,520 --> 01:57:17,640
Speaker 4: voice my voice probably like two three years ago, if

2233
01:57:17,720 --> 01:57:21,600
Speaker 4: that just because for me it was just you know

2234
01:57:21,840 --> 01:57:23,600
Speaker 4: a lot and I And that's why I could relate

2235
01:57:23,640 --> 01:57:25,680
Speaker 4: to a lot of what she was saying, because on

2236
01:57:25,760 --> 01:57:28,800
Speaker 4: the Little Brother records, I was just singing hooks really

2237
01:57:28,960 --> 01:57:32,680
Speaker 4: just as placeholders, just to kind of okays along somebody

2238
01:57:32,680 --> 01:57:34,720
Speaker 4: else come along, but nobody else came along, so it

2239
01:57:35,520 --> 01:57:38,840
Speaker 4: just keep it. But you're the Lauren Hill with that crew,

2240
01:57:39,000 --> 01:57:41,280
Speaker 4: like man, it was. I was just doing it just

2241
01:57:41,320 --> 01:57:43,000
Speaker 4: to get it down. So then once it happened, you

2242
01:57:43,040 --> 01:57:45,200
Speaker 4: put that evil on him. Ricky Bobs, Oh no, I show.

2243

Speaker 4: never saw it that way, so uh A lot of

2249
01:58:02,200 --> 01:58:05,400
Speaker 4: times I was just doing it just to kind of

2250
01:58:05,640 --> 01:58:08,440
