I wrote the songs for 0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:05.520 and like me and Sunday Cruise. Sunday Cruise, you had 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:07.960 two big hits. Her big hits was Sunday Cruise, which 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:12.320 was like the knockoff Saturday Love, and then Psych which 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:15.160 was like her big nineties bank head bounce in Atlanta. 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:17.920 And so then like that was pretty much what it was. 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:20.440 And so that was in like the real world. 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:22.720 But then in the show, I played Andre and I 0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:25.239 was one of her background dancers that toured with her, 0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:28.000 and I had we had to learn choreo.

We met Keep Sweat. 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:50.040 I don't know if that was your first time we 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:52.480 met Keep Sweat. I got financial yesterday. 0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:53.760 I was kidding. 0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:56.040 I was was fixing my prescription in my glasses and 0:19:56.119 --> 0:20:00.159 he came in like and he he has ad like 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:01.679 the way that he dances like an arch. 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:04.800 I know we're in radio, so I can't exactly described, 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:06.040 but he. 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:08.520 Even walks like he's doing the wop like a half 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:11.960 while shame man like. 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:14.399 He talked just like he's saying yeah. He talked just 0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:17.240 like he said, yeah, man, Keith, what yesterday? Yeah, so 0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:18.800 that was it. That was Atlanta. That was the last 0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:19.399 time we did that. 0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:22.520 And yeah, man, she just to So the company didn't 0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:25.639 love a show that's associated with it was a pilot. 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:26.399 We shot a pilot. 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:29.960 See, but doesn't every pilot kind of sort of suck, 0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:33.600 with the exception of the Sopranos, Like what what pilot? 0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:34.600 It didn't suck. 0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:37.920 No, the pilot was hilarious. That was even more surprising 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:40.280 to me, Like, you know, wow, but I don't know why. 0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:43.200 I think it doesn't always have to do with whether 0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:45.320 it's good or not. Honestly, I think it's whatever's on 0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:49.919 their slate or who knows to pay attention. If I did, 0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:51.879 I'd be too depressed to ever work again. 0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:56.600 So you're saying you get your heart broken often. 0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:02.560 Really, I'd figure like, right now, you're just well, I 0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:05.800 guess perception depending on who's watching it. 0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:06.359 Well I do. 0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:10.040 I have changed my attitude about it so that I 0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:11.240 don't get my heart broken. 0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:14.920 But you've got an occasional no, and we're going to 0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:15.960 give this role to someone else. 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:18.040 Oh yeah, I think that happens all the time. It's 0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:22.560 part of the you know, it's part of the dystopian 0:21:22.640 --> 0:21:26.240 world of being a performer. I think. 0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:31.960 So even now as a well established well, I mean. 0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:35.199 There's always something I don't think about it. I remember, 0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:38.240 I remember the very first time I got cut I 0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:39.920 got cut out of the first anchor man, and I 0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:44.760 was devastated.

No, no, no, that was yeah, sorry, 0:33:24.480 --> 0:33:25.280 everyone gets no. 0:33:25.600 --> 0:33:30.280 There's a four famous lesbian sex Act show that we 0:33:30.400 --> 0:33:34.000 did under an allise at New Eurekan Cafe in New York. 0:33:34.080 --> 0:33:36.479 It was common to Reik myself. 0:33:38.480 --> 0:33:40.160 We just needed a name to make up because we 0:33:40.240 --> 0:33:43.080 couldn't be the roots playing a free gig at. 0:33:43.040 --> 0:33:46.000 The New Eyreakan Cafe. So we made up Lesbian sex Act. 0:33:47.360 --> 0:33:48.640 And that got butts in seats. 0:33:49.280 --> 0:33:52.240 Yes, we debuted some things fall apart songs then, but 0:33:52.400 --> 0:33:55.400 this is before then. But uh yeah, so you only 0:33:55.440 --> 0:33:56.760 did a year in Kainesville, just. 0:33:56.800 --> 0:34:01.720 A year, and then they drove out to la because well, 0:34:01.720 --> 0:34:04.160 there's an actual story that I should know, like all 0:34:04.240 --> 0:34:06.800 the names of but a guy came from Capital and 0:34:07.000 --> 0:34:09.960 fat like my mom thanked him. I remember, I can't 0:34:09.960 --> 0:34:11.640 remember guys name. She was like, thank you to so 0:34:11.800 --> 0:34:14.000 and so for coming, like coming and rescue me from 0:34:14.040 --> 0:34:16.879 the gators. So he she had she had been on chess, 0:34:16.960 --> 0:34:19.480 you know, since she was a teenager. She worked at 0:34:19.560 --> 0:34:22.480 Chess Records when she was in high school, and she 0:34:22.719 --> 0:34:24.719 sang in the Gems, which was the girl group. She 0:34:24.760 --> 0:34:29.400 did another name though, well, Andrea Davis was My cousin's 0:34:29.440 --> 0:34:31.800 name is Andrew. That's why she was Andrew Davis. But 0:34:31.880 --> 0:34:34.320 I don't know. But Andrew Davis had her own like 0:34:34.680 --> 0:34:38.520 solo single right, Lonely Girl is the one I know. 0:34:38.800 --> 0:34:42.560 And then but she also did backup for stuff and 0:34:42.640 --> 0:34:44.800 the only thing I know about that she's not credited for. 0:34:45.040 --> 0:34:46.839 But weirdly, like when I was in college, my dad 0:34:46.960 --> 0:34:50.520 was like, we just got a royalty check for Rescue 0:34:50.600 --> 0:34:54.200 Me the Fontella bass song, So my mom's singing on that. 0:34:54.360 --> 0:34:58.000 Like she would basically, you know, be the receptionist and 0:34:58.040 --> 0:35:00.160 then if they needed backup, she'd run upstairs and do 0:35:00.320 --> 0:35:04.239 back up and then still like man the Desk. 0:35:05.719 --> 0:35:09.640 Couest Love Supreme Trivia Moment. Bill, when we first met, 0:35:10.040 --> 0:35:12.640 I'm sorry, Boss Bill, not unpaid Bill. 0:35:13.120 --> 0:35:17.960 Boss Bill. When we first met, I think you caught 0:35:18.040 --> 0:35:21.920 the copy of Thrust by Herbie Hancock. Yeah, how do 0:35:22.040 --> 0:35:28.399 you remember that? Who's the lady on taxi on taxi stupid? Yeah? 0:35:28.840 --> 0:35:31.880 I kind of have a Mary Lou Henter musical memory. 0:35:32.480 --> 0:35:35.279 I mean I could tell you, like, you know, the 0:35:35.320 --> 0:35:37.480 amount of times that people misspelled the word on Soul 0:35:37.520 --> 0:35:38.439 Train scramble board. 0:35:38.920 --> 0:35:41.040 But I can't remember to show up on time to 0:35:41.200 --> 0:35:43.279 like my own radio show. So it's like, you know, 0:35:43.360 --> 0:35:47.080 it's a thing. No, I'm very imperfect. 0:35:47.480 --> 0:35:48.560 Did you hear when I got here? 0:35:49.200 --> 0:35:55.120 Well, you know, because they they they deangelouded me. However. 0:35:57.440 --> 0:36:01.600 Yeah, but my point was that that I copped H 0:36:02.200 --> 0:36:03.960 three Andrea day forty five. 0:36:04.640 --> 0:36:07.120 Yeah, in Chicago the first day I met Bill. 0:36:07.680 --> 0:36:09.360 Wow, so we're connected. 0:36:09.360 --> 0:36:14.120 We're connected already, we're connected. So you guys, uh went 0:36:14.160 --> 0:36:17.080 to lay. This is weird because now if I want 0:36:17.120 --> 0:36:19.600 to find somebody, I could stalk them on the Internet 0:36:19.719 --> 0:36:20.520 or social media. 0:36:20.920 --> 0:36:22.880 Yeah, I don't know how he found how he found her? 0:36:22.960 --> 0:36:25.000 Then and then that then the other part of the 0:36:25.719 --> 0:36:28.080 so we went, we moved to Laurel Canyon, and then 0:36:28.520 --> 0:36:33.640 my mom's like she was set on Stevie Wonder. She 0:36:33.719 --> 0:36:34.839 wanted to find Stevie. Wonder. 0:36:35.239 --> 0:36:38.200 Wait, we there's one crucial thing. We never said your 0:36:38.239 --> 0:36:41.239 mom's name yet, maybe we might want to do that. 0:36:42.239 --> 0:36:47.759 Who is your mother? So her mother of course? Uh? 0:36:48.239 --> 0:36:57.160 For those listening to Questlove Supreme only on Pandora, is 0:36:57.440 --> 0:36:58.360 is Minnie Riperton? 0:36:58.719 --> 0:36:58.839 Uh? 0:36:59.200 --> 0:37:04.759 Considered to be one of the finest vocalists of all time? 0:37:04.960 --> 0:37:05.400 What was there? 0:37:05.640 --> 0:37:07.080 What was her octave range? 0:37:07.600 --> 0:37:11.279 I've heard five? You know this is she died in 0:37:11.360 --> 0:37:13.399 the seventies, so we have no way of proving any 0:37:13.440 --> 0:37:18.680 of it. There's no There's a lot of folklore behind it, 0:37:18.800 --> 0:37:20.719 for sure. But I've heard five, which is a lot 0:37:20.800 --> 0:37:23.840 more than I've I'll just say seven, say. 0:37:23.760 --> 0:37:26.719 Eight perceptions reality, I mean, people will say it and 0:37:26.800 --> 0:37:28.680 then people will believe it true. 0:37:28.840 --> 0:37:30.560 We can set it. We can set the record. 0:37:30.680 --> 0:37:30.879 Now. 0:37:31.280 --> 0:37:34.919 Seven octave range great, I've actually read seven octaves before 0:37:35.480 --> 0:37:36.759 I've read I've read that she has. 0:37:37.040 --> 0:37:39.040 I'll be honest, I don't you know, I don't. I 0:37:39.440 --> 0:37:42.520 hear so many things I can't. You probably know more 0:37:42.560 --> 0:37:42.920 than I do. 0:37:43.719 --> 0:37:45.840 I know she can go high. But how what was 0:37:45.880 --> 0:37:48.279 her low register like? Because in order to really be 0:37:48.400 --> 0:37:51.000 five octave range that I don't know. You know your 0:37:51.080 --> 0:37:52.399 base game has to be on point. 0:37:52.520 --> 0:37:57.279 Well I'm low. I'm nothing but low, And nobody really 0:37:57.400 --> 0:37:59.839 has her voice in our family except her speaking voice. 0:37:59.880 --> 0:38:02.919 My Auntie Sandres got her speaking boys her her older sister. 0:38:03.040 --> 0:38:08.840 She was really close to who who's still one of 0:38:08.960 --> 0:38:12.320 her only siblings that's still around. And she sounds a 0:38:12.400 --> 0:38:13.560 lot like my mom when I talked to her on 0:38:13.600 --> 0:38:16.120 the phone. But she doesn't sing. I mean, I think 0:38:16.239 --> 0:38:18.359 when she does, she probably has some of that in there, 0:38:18.440 --> 0:38:20.960 but I don't know anybody else in the family who 0:38:21.040 --> 0:38:27.400 has it. My mom's brother was a horn player, but siblings. 0:38:28.160 --> 0:38:33.160 She was the youngest of eight whoa south side of Chicago, 0:38:33.440 --> 0:38:36.680 youngest of eight, so she needed to leave. 0:38:37.960 --> 0:38:40.680 Oh he's waiting for an inappropriate comment from vart No 0:38:43.080 --> 0:38:46.600 it was not, Well it wasn't, but no, that's the time. 0:38:46.719 --> 0:38:48.759 I mean, that makes sense because that was back in 0:38:48.800 --> 0:38:49.120 the day. 0:38:49.200 --> 0:38:51.800 Like, well, no, this is true. My grandfather was a 0:38:51.840 --> 0:38:54.040 pullman porter, and you know they always said that pullman 0:38:54.080 --> 0:38:56.680 porter's always had like you know, he worked for the railroad, 0:38:56.719 --> 0:38:59.359 so oways say he had he might have had more kids. 0:39:00.120 --> 0:39:01.720 Importers go from one place to another. 0:39:01.840 --> 0:39:03.839 Yeah, well I know that back then I mean at 0:39:03.920 --> 0:39:08.160 least with farm house mentality. The thing is that you 0:39:08.400 --> 0:39:11.080 have a lot of kids so that you can have hands, yeah, 0:39:11.280 --> 0:39:14.640 to work on your farm or Jackson's or you know, 0:39:14.800 --> 0:39:15.360 however you. 0:39:17.760 --> 0:39:21.480 However you want to put it. So, what was your 0:39:21.719 --> 0:39:24.319 first cognizant memory of. 0:39:27.640 --> 0:39:27.960 Music? 0:39:28.520 --> 0:39:30.680 Yeah, just of the environment you grew up in. 0:39:31.360 --> 0:39:33.520 Like you don't remember that Soul Training episode in which 0:39:33.520 --> 0:39:35.480 you were crying through your mom's interview segment. 0:39:35.960 --> 0:39:40.839 M I don't remember it, but I remember that all 0:39:40.920 --> 0:39:43.000 that that era for me was. I mean we were 0:39:43.040 --> 0:39:44.719 on the road with my parents most of the time 0:39:44.840 --> 0:39:47.879 until I started school. So I mean when we were little, 0:39:47.920 --> 0:39:49.680 little sometimes they'd go out on the road and they 0:39:49.760 --> 0:39:52.759 take us with them, but pretty much, especially when I 0:39:52.840 --> 0:39:54.040 was a baby, I think my mom went out on 0:39:54.080 --> 0:39:55.560 the road for a minute and then she called my dad. 0:39:55.640 --> 0:39:56.800 She was like, you have to come with me. 0:39:56.880 --> 0:39:57.239 I can't. 0:39:57.840 --> 0:40:00.439 I can't be without the baby and without you guys. 0:40:00.560 --> 0:40:02.719 And so we were on the road a lot. And 0:40:02.760 --> 0:40:05.719 I remember being on the road with my parents, like 0:40:05.800 --> 0:40:11.439 I remember somebody lost a tooth in like some town 0:40:11.520 --> 0:40:13.759 with a casino and we got like a chip or something, 0:40:13.760 --> 0:40:16.640 you know, Like I remember like sound check to me 0:40:16.960 --> 0:40:20.080 is like I think it was it was me or 0:40:20.120 --> 0:40:20.319 my I. 0:40:20.280 --> 0:40:22.480 Think it was me, me or my brother, like a 0:40:22.560 --> 0:40:23.399 bar fight or something. 0:40:23.760 --> 0:40:26.560 No, like like the normal things that happened to a kid. 0:40:26.640 --> 0:40:28.960 But the tooth Fairy brought me like a casino chip 0:40:29.320 --> 0:40:31.239 because we were in like Lake Tahoe or something. But 0:40:31.560 --> 0:40:34.239 like like being on the road was very normal. And 0:40:34.320 --> 0:40:40.239 then like see my mom.

Michael Michael. They were in 0:46:02.200 --> 0:46:04.080 the studio and they were friendly. Michael was really shy, 0:46:04.080 --> 0:46:05.440 and my dad gave him, like I remember, he gave 0:46:05.520 --> 0:46:09.400 him like a Pittsburgh Pirates hat, because my dad's from Pittsburgh. 0:46:09.920 --> 0:46:10.080 Ah. 0:46:10.400 --> 0:46:13.240 Originally I didn't know that, but I but that's. 0:46:13.080 --> 0:46:14.719 Why I can remember, like people were coming in, you know, 0:46:14.800 --> 0:46:18.000 he was putting stuff on songs with different people. It's 0:46:18.080 --> 0:46:21.160 such a blurry time to me. It's you know, now 0:46:21.239 --> 0:46:23.520 that I have a daughter who's about she was, she's 0:46:23.600 --> 0:46:25.759 the age my daughter, Lucy's the age that I was 0:46:25.800 --> 0:46:27.560 when my mom died. Right now, she's six and a half, 0:46:27.600 --> 0:46:32.080 she's almost seven. It's so fascinating as an adult to 0:46:32.200 --> 0:46:37.200 see that person's she's so into me, she's so into 0:46:37.239 --> 0:46:40.640 her mommy. But she's a kind of a baby still, 0:46:40.840 --> 0:46:43.320 like in a lot of ways. And so my memory 0:46:43.360 --> 0:46:45.160 it's like, you know, because my mom was my mom, 0:46:45.239 --> 0:46:47.400 people ask me about her a lot, but my memories 0:46:47.520 --> 0:46:52.320 are are from a child's brain, so it's really warped. 0:46:52.440 --> 0:46:55.759 And I always talk about magical thinking. There's like a 0:46:55.840 --> 0:46:59.040 lot of my memory. That's like a little bit make 0:46:59.160 --> 0:47:02.040 believe because that's how kids cope. 0:47:01.880 --> 0:47:02.040 You know. 0:47:03.160 --> 0:47:05.399 You know what I remember about that record, that last 0:47:05.480 --> 0:47:09.640 album Stevie wanted his autograph was his thumb prints. Yeah, 0:47:10.200 --> 0:47:12.200 I would the first time I ever got in trouble 0:47:12.360 --> 0:47:15.600 playing with matches, like I get it. I get a 0:47:15.640 --> 0:47:20.880 big pin, then light the ink so it could spill 0:47:21.000 --> 0:47:22.800 on the table so I could put my thumbprint and 0:47:22.880 --> 0:47:24.279 just thumbprint everything. 0:47:24.640 --> 0:47:28.239 Because yeah, Stevie did it. Yeah, I was impressible that way. 0:47:29.320 --> 0:47:33.280 And also that Michael had an immaculate penmanship on his autograph. 0:47:32.920 --> 0:47:36.080 On that album because his dad probably yay. 0:47:37.520 --> 0:47:37.880 Go in. 0:47:42.640 --> 0:47:42.680 No. 0:47:44.640 --> 0:47:47.279 Yeah. So just that that transition period to. 0:47:48.120 --> 0:47:52.240 It was also transitioning from seventy nine leaving the eighties, 0:47:52.800 --> 0:47:57.000 leaving the eighties. I mean, sorry, it's such a trippy. 0:47:57.320 --> 0:47:59.480 It's such a trippy era to have such an imprint 0:47:59.560 --> 0:48:03.360 on my life. The seventies is is everything. 0:48:03.920 --> 0:48:05.560 I mean, how did you cope? Like did you have 0:48:06.120 --> 0:48:10.680 big sister figures? And like, well, who was there to 0:48:10.960 --> 0:48:13.960 sort of feel that void or just to who's there 0:48:14.040 --> 0:48:14.719 for you to leave? 0:48:14.920 --> 0:48:17.920 Really just my dad and my brother honestly, and I 0:48:18.000 --> 0:48:20.080 mean we were the only ones that lived in La 0:48:20.080 --> 0:48:22.200 because everybody we came to La. My dad's family was 0:48:22.239 --> 0:48:25.719 in Miami, my mom's was in Chicago. We were the 0:48:25.760 --> 0:48:27.600 only ones like out there. We were kind of on 0:48:27.640 --> 0:48:31.360 our own. So you know, when I come from like, 0:48:32.239 --> 0:48:35.759 you know, pretty big sized families, but everybody was somewhere else. 0:48:36.480 --> 0:48:38.200 I'm kind of a disconnection in a lot of ways, 0:48:38.239 --> 0:48:39.920 especially because she she was the only one that was 0:48:39.960 --> 0:48:43.640 like in the entertainment business in her family, which always 0:48:44.280 --> 0:48:48.560 as you know, wow, with death and fame and all that, 0:48:48.840 --> 0:48:53.359 that all just becomes so strange when people people die, 0:48:53.480 --> 0:48:57.480 it's it makes it makes family even you know, you 0:48:57.600 --> 0:48:58.560 know how it is. 0:48:58.800 --> 0:49:02.920 I know, so I mean your dad obviously. 0:49:03.440 --> 0:49:05.520 No my dad, my dad raised us. 0:49:05.640 --> 0:49:09.120 It was so my dad, I cannot believe, like he 0:49:09.320 --> 0:49:13.560 was in the studio all night, will like our housekeeper 0:49:13.680 --> 0:49:15.480 was like sleeping at the house so that there was 0:49:15.480 --> 0:49:17.759 someone in the house with us. And then he'd get 0:49:17.840 --> 0:49:20.439 up in the morning, make my lunch, pack my bag, 0:49:20.680 --> 0:49:22.359 send me off to school if he wasn't the one 0:49:22.360 --> 0:49:23.839 that was driving me as I got older, because that's 0:49:23.840 --> 0:49:25.919 what I remember, and then like go back to bed. 0:49:26.160 --> 0:49:27.080 Where'd you go to school? 0:49:27.400 --> 0:49:30.799 I went to high school in Santa Monica's school called Crossroads. 0:49:31.239 --> 0:49:34.560 That was like an already already school. 0:49:34.640 --> 0:49:35.880 I was going to say, was it a perfect So 0:49:35.920 --> 0:49:38.160 when did you realize that you did you always have 0:49:38.200 --> 0:49:38.520 a talent? 0:49:38.600 --> 0:49:39.759 Were you always singing around the house? 0:49:39.880 --> 0:49:40.080 Yeah? 0:49:40.880 --> 0:49:41.520 I didn't. 0:49:41.800 --> 0:49:43.719 I was I was singing. I was just like a 0:49:43.840 --> 0:49:48.920 ham bone, like always doing shows like my kids do now, 0:49:49.040 --> 0:49:52.120 like always doing a show. My brother was always playing sports. 0:49:52.120 --> 0:49:53.359 I was always doing a show. 0:49:54.160 --> 0:49:55.560 So for you, was it like I'm going to be 0:49:55.640 --> 0:49:58.120 a singer or yeah, I think I was an actress. 0:49:58.160 --> 0:49:59.880 I think it was a combo in my head of 0:50:00.400 --> 0:50:02.399 But I don't know where the comedy came from, because 0:50:02.440 --> 0:50:04.839 my dad says that if my mom wasn't a singer, 0:50:04.880 --> 0:50:07.520 she would have been a comedian. But I don't know 0:50:08.600 --> 0:50:10.400 anything funny, that's what he says. 0:50:10.640 --> 0:50:11.120 I don't know. 0:50:11.360 --> 0:50:13.200 I don't remember any of that. Wow. 0:50:13.719 --> 0:50:19.279 But but the music seemed normal, So they're all it's 0:50:19.360 --> 0:50:21.640 kind of a hybrid in my mind, you know. But 0:50:21.719 --> 0:50:23.799 I would go to shows, like I would watch people 0:50:23.840 --> 0:50:25.360 on stage and think that's what I'm gonna do. And 0:50:25.400 --> 0:50:26.880 then I'd watch a movie and say, like that's what 0:50:26.920 --> 0:50:29.600 I'm gonna do. But it was mostly like in my house, 0:50:29.680 --> 0:50:31.000 we watched a lot of comedies that it was like 0:50:31.040 --> 0:50:32.640 a lot of Melbrooks movies and stuff. 0:50:32.960 --> 0:50:37.120 Wow, do you remember your first concert not your mom's. 0:50:39.400 --> 0:50:42.720 I remember going to see Funkadelic and the mother Ship Landing. 0:50:42.880 --> 0:50:44.719 I was sitting on somebody's shoulders. I think we were 0:50:44.760 --> 0:50:47.680 in Chicago. I don't know what the first I mean 0:50:48.239 --> 0:50:50.239 if it wasn't my mom's. I mean, my mom played 0:50:50.239 --> 0:50:53.000 with George Benson, and I remember being at like it 0:50:53.200 --> 0:50:55.880 like the Greek Theater or something, just that perfect magical 0:50:56.640 --> 0:50:59.560 outdoor summer night, like don't dunk. 0:51:01.239 --> 0:51:02.280 Right, I went Broadway? 0:51:02.520 --> 0:51:06.920 Yeah, okay, So all your conscious were related to your 0:51:06.960 --> 0:51:08.040 mom in some sort of way. 0:51:07.960 --> 0:51:08.319 I guess. 0:51:08.360 --> 0:51:13.319 So. I mean the Parliament when when my brother was huge. 0:51:13.400 --> 0:51:16.320 My brother was crazy huge into Parliament Funkadelic when I 0:51:16.400 --> 0:51:18.279 was a kid, and so I think we I think 0:51:18.320 --> 0:51:20.080 we went to go see them because he wanted to. 0:51:21.200 --> 0:51:25.319 He was like infatuated with George Clinton when we were 0:51:25.600 --> 0:51:28.680 just the two of you together and some family members 0:51:28.680 --> 0:51:30.960 I don't even remember who, and then we were into 0:51:31.000 --> 0:51:33.120 the Silvers.

It's so hard to remember, 0:51:39.640 --> 0:51:42.480 like the first first I mean, when I was like 0:51:42.560 --> 0:51:44.560 a kid kid, it was like Duran Duran, But that 0:51:44.640 --> 0:51:47.880 doesn't that doesn't count well because that was like my 0:51:48.120 --> 0:51:50.200 choice when I was like fifth grade, But when I 0:51:50.280 --> 0:51:52.840 was little, I don't remember. 0:51:53.600 --> 0:51:57.600 So Duran Duran was your first love? Like Roads on 0:51:57.640 --> 0:51:59.120 the Walls and all that stuff. 0:52:00.560 --> 0:52:04.160 I wouldn't say, was it first I really liked? I 0:52:04.400 --> 0:52:07.520 I was really in love with Stuart Copeland from the Police, 0:52:13.440 --> 0:52:16.080 thank you, and of course Sting but you know, and 0:52:16.200 --> 0:52:20.160 then uh and then and then I remember being like 0:52:20.320 --> 0:52:26.120 band wise, but my prince love was early. It just 0:52:26.360 --> 0:52:30.040 wasn't as much of a connection. Like like Dirty Mind 0:52:30.200 --> 0:52:32.920 was the first record that I really truly listened to 0:52:32.960 --> 0:52:38.120 and understood and you were I was little.

And then Soft and Wet 1:00:15.320 --> 1:00:17.480 came on, and I remember we were all listening. 1:00:17.200 --> 1:00:21.600 To it on the radio, like it's a very inappropriate visual. 1:00:22.880 --> 1:00:25.520 But I didn't feel that wrist slap of like, oh boy, 1:00:25.600 --> 1:00:27.480 we'd better turn this off, you know. It was sort 1:00:27.520 --> 1:00:29.320 of like, oh, this is a Prince song, and the 1:00:29.360 --> 1:00:32.640 song is kind of good, so I didn't.

And we went this after you passed. 1:13:43.800 --> 1:13:47.040 This is recently, so we were just there and actually 1:13:47.120 --> 1:13:49.720 we were there and you know, it was people out, 1:13:49.760 --> 1:13:50.840 you know, like a. 1:13:50.880 --> 1:13:53.760 Police line or like a police tape. No, no, no, 1:13:53.880 --> 1:13:56.200 we went I mean this is like not like a 1:13:56.240 --> 1:13:59.160 little elevator. Nah. I didn't see the elevator. I didn't 1:13:59.160 --> 1:13:59.320 go in. 1:13:59.479 --> 1:14:03.040 We were just outside walking around. And so then the 1:14:03.160 --> 1:14:04.840 news truck pulled up. We'll be like, what the hell's 1:14:04.840 --> 1:14:07.040 the news doing here? And it was the day that 1:14:07.160 --> 1:14:11.240 they announced the autopsies. Oh so that was why I 1:14:11.320 --> 1:14:12.519 was like, oh, that's why they were here. 1:14:13.600 --> 1:14:18.280 Yeah. Yeah, well it's it's it's super normal inside. 1:14:18.520 --> 1:14:23.680 And the one thing I noticed was there were a 1:14:23.840 --> 1:14:26.040 lot of you remember there was a point where they 1:14:26.080 --> 1:14:30.040 had combo television and VHS for quarters. 1:14:30.760 --> 1:14:35.680 Wow, Like I feel like he really spruced that place up. 1:14:36.400 --> 1:14:38.200 I mean it came up, and it came up in 1:14:39.120 --> 1:14:41.880 eighty seven, but I felt like he had a redo 1:14:42.040 --> 1:14:43.200 in like ninety three. 1:14:43.880 --> 1:14:45.960 He redid the place in ninety six for the when 1:14:45.960 --> 1:14:48.800 the baby was supposed to come. Oh the entire place. Yeah, 1:14:48.880 --> 1:14:50.720 they like it was all white inside and then they 1:14:50.800 --> 1:14:51.960 did all the paintings and stuff. 1:14:51.960 --> 1:14:56.280 And then that explains it because well there were a 1:14:56.360 --> 1:15:01.160 lot of VHS TV combos everywhere. There was like a 1:15:01.240 --> 1:15:07.360 Sega Genesis. Uh, he obviously was or whoever was inside 1:15:07.439 --> 1:15:10.680 Paisley Park. They were really a fan of what's what's 1:15:10.760 --> 1:15:14.519 the Sega game with the cat that Sonic There's a 1:15:14.560 --> 1:15:19.400 lot of Sonic the Hedgehog games, and apparently a Tripod 1:15:19.479 --> 1:15:24.920 Quest fan because I found three copies of Midnight Marauders. 1:15:26.800 --> 1:15:30.320 I would say from the inside, his life was seemed 1:15:30.360 --> 1:15:34.720 pretty much normal. I mean, there was nothing that unusual. 1:15:35.240 --> 1:15:36.879 Except for the giant eyes and cameras. 1:15:37.000 --> 1:15:38.519 Yeah, except for the eyes and camera. 1:15:39.400 --> 1:15:41.479 Well, I know that I know that it's wired for 1:15:41.640 --> 1:15:44.120 there to be microphones anywhere, So if he has a 1:15:44.200 --> 1:15:48.240 song idea including in the Oh God, including in the 1:15:48.360 --> 1:15:51.840 bathroom for real wow, which kind of freaked me out 1:15:52.479 --> 1:15:55.200 because the invasion of had to be right, that's like 1:15:55.800 --> 1:15:59.800 a ship. On my second day there, I remember really 1:16:00.040 --> 1:16:04.760 having to go and so my solution was to just 1:16:04.880 --> 1:16:06.680 constantly flush the toilet. 1:16:06.880 --> 1:16:07.720 So you didn't hear nothing. 1:16:09.479 --> 1:16:11.920 End up on emancipation too. I think I drained like. 1:16:16.200 --> 1:16:18.680 I think, Yeah, I think I just drained out late Minnetonka. 1:16:18.760 --> 1:16:54.120 That's how many times that was Miss Maya Rudolph singing 1:16:54.240 --> 1:16:57.599 with the rentals. How old were you when you did 1:16:57.680 --> 1:16:59.120 that stuff with the rentals? 1:16:59.200 --> 1:17:02.040 Yeah, I think I was just out of college. I 1:17:02.160 --> 1:17:03.960 did the five year Plan, so I was probably like 1:17:04.040 --> 1:17:07.479 twenty two. I got involved with the rentals because my friends, 1:17:09.760 --> 1:17:13.439 my childhood friends Rachel Hayden and Patrick Hayden warn a 1:17:13.479 --> 1:17:20.040 band called That Dog with my friend Anna Waronker and Warrenker. 1:17:20.240 --> 1:17:22.960 Yeah, we were just talking about well, daughter of Lenny 1:17:23.360 --> 1:17:24.679 Lenny Warner and Joey. 1:17:24.920 --> 1:17:27.320 Joey's her brother, so saying with his daughter, you I 1:17:27.360 --> 1:17:28.600 grew up with those girls and. 1:17:29.640 --> 1:17:31.800 Uh, she grew up with the girls of the Man 1:17:31.880 --> 1:17:32.559 at Sign Prince. 1:17:33.040 --> 1:17:39.960 Well, yes, Anna, I knew growing up and yeah, yeah, 1:17:40.160 --> 1:17:40.639 that's true. 1:17:40.800 --> 1:17:42.599 Yes, and then Joey is the brother. 1:17:42.880 --> 1:17:45.439 Joey is her brother.

He plays with Beca. 1:17:50.960 --> 1:17:52.280 He plays a couple of the cats too, but he's 1:17:52.320 --> 1:17:53.240 all over Beck stuff. 1:17:53.320 --> 1:17:59.160 Yeah what is this man? I mean, very impressed. 1:17:59.240 --> 1:17:59.400 Fun. 1:18:05.000 --> 1:18:08.160 We are now re christened in the show as Liquor 1:18:08.200 --> 1:18:11.160 House or like Fonte Supreme. 1:18:11.320 --> 1:18:14.400 Right, it's now your show. 1:18:14.240 --> 1:18:19.519 Bro, My my, uh, my friend Rachel Hayden, who's a triplet. Rachel, 1:18:19.640 --> 1:18:23.400 Tanya and Petra are are triplets, the Hayden triplets. There 1:18:23.520 --> 1:18:26.519 there musicians as well. Their father was Charlie Hayden, amazing 1:18:27.560 --> 1:18:31.040 jazz bassist, and we all grew up singing together. We 1:18:31.080 --> 1:18:35.559 all grew up harmonizing together. And I was like an 1:18:35.560 --> 1:18:37.439 honorary member of their band for two seconds, but then 1:18:37.479 --> 1:18:39.320 I went away to college. So when I came back 1:18:39.360 --> 1:18:42.280 from college, they had recorded that first record with Matt 1:18:42.560 --> 1:18:46.960 Sharp from originally from Weezer. They were all l A 1:18:47.080 --> 1:18:49.720 local bands together, and so he put them on their card. 1:18:49.760 --> 1:18:52.760 Then he wanted them to tour and they were going 1:18:52.800 --> 1:18:54.400 on their own tour. So Rachel said, you should call 1:18:54.439 --> 1:18:56.920 my friend Mike because she she can harmonize and she 1:18:57.080 --> 1:19:00.439 can play keyboards, and that whole record it is just 1:19:00.600 --> 1:19:03.960 all the harmonies that those girls always did. Ah, okay, 1:19:04.280 --> 1:19:05.840 So that was why I ended up touring with them. 1:19:05.840 --> 1:19:07.479 So I wasn't on that first record. It was actually 1:19:07.520 --> 1:19:08.679 Rachel and Petra's voices. 1:19:09.320 --> 1:19:11.639 You played piano, yes, I played. 1:19:11.840 --> 1:19:12.799 I played the mogue. 1:19:13.920 --> 1:19:14.720 I did not know that. 1:19:15.080 --> 1:19:17.240 Okay, well, just on that tour I did. I just 1:19:17.280 --> 1:19:18.200 played piano right now. 1:19:18.640 --> 1:19:18.920 Okay. 1:19:19.040 --> 1:19:22.479 So we are at the point of our show. If 1:19:22.520 --> 1:19:26.000 you're still here, we're at the point of okay. 1:19:26.080 --> 1:19:28.080 So we're at the point of our show where we 1:19:29.120 --> 1:19:33.240 kind of do this thing blind test, which you know, 1:19:33.600 --> 1:19:34.840 we'll play you some music. 1:19:34.960 --> 1:19:36.120 Am I gonna have to drink something? 1:19:36.360 --> 1:19:39.840 No, you just will play it for you and you 1:19:40.200 --> 1:19:42.840 give some sort of commentary live on what you think 1:19:42.880 --> 1:19:43.200 about it. 1:19:43.760 --> 1:19:52.040 Okay, all right, am I supposed to know this song? 1:19:53.000 --> 1:19:55.479 Now? You got to know it. You're not supposed to 1:19:55.560 --> 1:19:55.760 know it. 1:20:16.560 --> 1:20:21.160 Wall It sounds like I need to test drive and 1:20:21.240 --> 1:20:21.840 last night. 1:20:30.080 --> 1:20:38.560 Thinks I hear a little bit of Love as a 1:20:38.600 --> 1:20:51.240 Battlefield's not like little drum breakdown, he said, sounds like 1:20:51.280 --> 1:20:53.080 a lot of the demos. People would said my dad 1:20:53.080 --> 1:20:54.519 when I was a kid, and we listened to him 1:20:54.560 --> 1:20:56.559 in the car on the way to school and laugh. 1:21:00.520 --> 1:21:03.920 But is this somebody like Tom or or somebody who 1:21:04.160 --> 1:21:05.040 went on to do stuff. 1:21:05.320 --> 1:21:11.479 This person's sort of connected, was it, jo Joe? No, 1:21:13.479 --> 1:21:18.679 I like you close your eyes listen to this voice. 1:21:25.280 --> 1:21:30.000 Just wait?

I mean just 1:21:50.080 --> 1:21:51.240 from the what did you think? 1:21:53.880 --> 1:21:54.160 Wow? 1:21:56.120 --> 1:21:58.800 See the proper now threw me off. I need to 1:21:58.880 --> 1:22:02.559 see the two or before. Okay, so you're listening. 1:22:03.520 --> 1:22:04.920 It's related, isn't it. 1:22:05.240 --> 1:22:12.760 Yeah, it's it's Vanity's strap on Robbie Baby, which I 1:22:12.840 --> 1:22:15.080 guess now that a thing of its very apropos being 1:22:15.160 --> 1:22:18.240 as though the very last song she did with Vanity 1:22:18.320 --> 1:22:19.639 six was Vibrator. 1:22:20.840 --> 1:22:23.960 But I actually am shocked that I didn't recognize her 1:22:24.080 --> 1:22:24.799 vocal quality. 1:22:25.600 --> 1:22:29.080 It's very distinct. All right. This leads to our second song. 1:22:30.760 --> 1:22:31.120 That's it. 1:22:37.160 --> 1:22:39.720 Ready for the Whirl sounds like. 1:22:42.560 --> 1:22:42.800 Right now? 1:22:43.320 --> 1:22:43.479 Is it? 1:22:43.920 --> 1:22:45.800 Is it? R F T W? 1:23:05.960 --> 1:23:06.200 Yeah? 1:23:06.360 --> 1:23:06.720 There it is. 1:23:06.880 --> 1:23:17.640 There's that voice months but making time. I mean I 1:23:17.720 --> 1:23:20.600 didn't listen to this song. I listened to O'sheila and 1:23:20.840 --> 1:23:26.560 not like an auxiliary Prince, you know, like satisfaction. 1:23:27.439 --> 1:23:30.120 It was like close enough, which one is it this 1:23:30.280 --> 1:23:38.360 digital slate? Which one dig this second? But this is 1:23:38.479 --> 1:23:41.360 this is actually one of my favorite filler ready for 1:23:41.560 --> 1:23:46.439 the world, like they did a lot of fast friends. 1:23:46.560 --> 1:23:50.920 So why did it sound like there was no ancient Sheila? 1:23:51.000 --> 1:23:51.600 And he said it. 1:23:55.960 --> 1:23:58.360 Big a little song about pop rad So did he just. 1:24:02.280 --> 1:24:05.040 Did he just use all the same machines? Is that 1:24:05.600 --> 1:24:06.880 how you got the sound? 1:24:09.120 --> 1:24:09.640 It's kind of. 1:24:09.640 --> 1:24:13.000 Weird because this this is actually I believe this is 1:24:13.000 --> 1:24:15.560 a d m X drum machine. So this is not 1:24:15.640 --> 1:24:16.360 even a line drum. 1:24:16.880 --> 1:24:25.120 But they often use the overheim and then drum. 1:24:26.240 --> 1:24:28.479 This is one of the rare times in which they're 1:24:28.560 --> 1:24:31.240 not using that. Here is your next song? 1:24:38.760 --> 1:24:39.839 Sounds very familiar. 1:25:00.400 --> 1:25:01.679 This is probably in the second place. 1:25:02.960 --> 1:25:06.920 Yeah, yeah, by far of my Brenda. 1:25:06.960 --> 1:25:10.160 Breast song best songs that Prince never wrote. I'm sorry 1:25:10.160 --> 1:25:11.240 it is the chickens. 1:25:12.920 --> 1:25:14.000 Go bad to breath songs. 1:25:14.240 --> 1:25:19.439 Yeah, well I know this artist. 1:25:20.200 --> 1:25:22.519 You probably won't. I mean, you should know. 1:25:22.600 --> 1:25:26.840 It's not Brenda Wait's a low voice. 1:25:43.960 --> 1:25:44.960 Isn't that Annie? 1:25:45.520 --> 1:25:46.439 Isn't that Annie? 1:25:46.520 --> 1:25:46.800 Lady? 1:25:46.880 --> 1:25:53.200 That was like, is this cam in the scene?

Wait 1:26:20.439 --> 1:26:23.679 what yeah, in like eighty nine or something.

That was. 1:29:53.080 --> 1:29:59.960 Evelyn Champagne Shakedown, one of the main reasons why Jimmy 1:30:00.040 --> 1:30:00.759 Jam and Terry. 1:30:00.600 --> 1:30:05.040 Lewis were released from the Time for Moonlighting. 1:30:05.960 --> 1:30:09.920 Writing their first number one single for the SOS band 1:30:10.040 --> 1:30:13.320 Just Be Good to Me, was that he thought that 1:30:14.000 --> 1:30:20.519 they were also giving secrets away to other acts, Leon 1:30:20.680 --> 1:30:24.960 Silvers and producing just Keep On Loving Me by the Whispers. 1:30:25.680 --> 1:30:29.000 Prince never believed that Leon Silvers wrote or produced that song. 1:30:29.160 --> 1:30:33.160 He thought that it was Jam and Lewis using him 1:30:33.320 --> 1:30:37.559 as a mask. And Okay, so we got to rewind back. 1:30:38.479 --> 1:30:43.120 So how did you come across the attention of our 1:30:43.360 --> 1:30:47.320 beloved Steve Higgins, announcer of The Tonight Show and head 1:30:48.680 --> 1:30:52.000 producer of Saturday Night Live. 1:30:53.040 --> 1:30:57.879 I was I was performing at the Growlings in Growlings 1:30:57.960 --> 1:30:59.920 Theater in Los Angeles, California. 1:31:00.200 --> 1:31:00.880 How did you get in? 1:31:02.040 --> 1:31:04.120 I started from the I started from the bottom and 1:31:04.200 --> 1:31:04.680 now I'm here. 1:31:05.760 --> 1:31:07.920 You were getting You were getting coffee first, and then 1:31:07.960 --> 1:31:09.040 you worked your way up for no. 1:31:09.160 --> 1:31:11.559 I used used to take classes there. You start, It's 1:31:11.640 --> 1:31:14.439 like a straight up theater program. You like, start there, 1:31:14.560 --> 1:31:17.320 you take classes and you have to pass on to 1:31:17.320 --> 1:31:19.240 the next class. Then you start writing, and then you 1:31:19.320 --> 1:31:21.679 start performing. Then I started performing in the Sunday Company, 1:31:21.680 --> 1:31:24.400 which is kind of like it's kind of like JUV 1:31:24.720 --> 1:31:29.360 like Juvy, it's kind of like JV SNL like on 1:31:29.439 --> 1:31:32.639 a little stage. It's like UCB style, but UCB didn't 1:31:32.640 --> 1:31:36.160 exist then it's ucb's more more like indie and hip 1:31:36.240 --> 1:31:39.759 and this is just like been around since the seventies. 1:31:39.960 --> 1:31:41.720 Well, who puts you up to it? Like you said, 1:31:41.760 --> 1:31:43.440 you know what, you should go to the grounds. 1:31:43.800 --> 1:31:47.240 I did because I'd always I'd always wanted to be 1:31:47.520 --> 1:31:49.680 on Saturday Night Live. I fell in love with the 1:31:49.760 --> 1:31:52.560 original cast because my parents were watching it and so 1:31:52.920 --> 1:31:55.439 I saw it like I got I got an idea 1:31:55.479 --> 1:31:57.720 of it. And then when the reruns were on, then 1:31:57.760 --> 1:31:59.439 I fell in love with Gilda and. 1:32:01.720 --> 1:32:02.120 And the whole. 1:32:02.360 --> 1:32:04.880 The cast as a whole is like this New York idea, 1:32:04.960 --> 1:32:06.720 like I've got to get to New York. I want 1:32:06.760 --> 1:32:10.680 to go where those people are. And that was like 1:32:10.760 --> 1:32:12.240 later when they were sting reruns and then I could 1:32:12.240 --> 1:32:15.040 start taping them and stuff like I would, you know, 1:32:15.240 --> 1:32:17.320 I would tape everything off of TV that I liked. 1:32:18.840 --> 1:32:22.600 And then uh, he came in two thousand and one, right, 1:32:23.680 --> 1:32:24.400 I think so well. 1:32:24.439 --> 1:32:26.519 I came to the end of the of the twenty 1:32:26.600 --> 1:32:29.360 fifth season for three shows, so I. 1:32:29.360 --> 1:32:30.960 Don't amember a member of Fairmore. 1:32:31.040 --> 1:32:33.400 Nine to eleven episode was your first real episode, or 1:32:33.479 --> 1:32:36.240 Reese Witherspoon, Reese Witherspoon, that was your first episode. 1:32:36.320 --> 1:32:38.920 That was my first episode of the of the first 1:32:38.960 --> 1:32:42.799 official year. But I came for basically instead of instead 1:32:42.800 --> 1:32:45.600 of auditioning, they brought me in for the last I 1:32:45.680 --> 1:32:48.840 did an audition, which is so so stupid and weird, 1:32:49.240 --> 1:32:51.000 and it's a miracle that I ended up on the show. 1:32:51.080 --> 1:32:53.680 But instead I came and I had a meeting with 1:32:53.800 --> 1:32:56.240 Laurene because I met Higgins and t Shuan Shan, who 1:32:56.240 --> 1:32:57.200 was a writer, and they came to the show and 1:32:57.200 --> 1:32:59.080 they're like, you should come audition, and I had a 1:32:59.200 --> 1:33:02.559 janky ass man was like, don't do it. The contract's 1:33:02.560 --> 1:33:03.880 really bad. And I listened to her because I was 1:33:03.880 --> 1:33:06.639 an idiot. I was like twenty five maybe twenty six 1:33:07.680 --> 1:33:11.280 and old enough to know better. But I listened because 1:33:11.320 --> 1:33:13.960 she knew about it. And so I didn't come, and 1:33:14.080 --> 1:33:15.600 I don't know how, but I saw Steve again and 1:33:15.600 --> 1:33:18.040 he's like, you really should come back, and and then 1:33:18.120 --> 1:33:19.760 I got the call like come meet with Louren. I 1:33:19.840 --> 1:33:21.640 met with Louren. They had my tape, like I sent 1:33:21.720 --> 1:33:24.599 a tape of like my sketches, and then and then 1:33:24.640 --> 1:33:26.280 I came and I just did three weeks here and 1:33:26.360 --> 1:33:29.320 I didn't really know what the hell I was doing. 1:33:29.520 --> 1:33:32.360 Like they brought me in, they took my picture. That's 1:33:32.520 --> 1:33:34.439 that like on my first day. That ends up on 1:33:34.560 --> 1:33:37.720 seventeen and you're just like, what's this for? And then 1:33:37.880 --> 1:33:40.519 we didn't have a pitch meeting that day because John 1:33:40.560 --> 1:33:42.800 Gubman was the host and he didn't want to come in. 1:33:42.880 --> 1:33:44.400 I don't know something. We didn't have a pitch meeting 1:33:44.439 --> 1:33:47.040 on Monday, so we just started. I just started on 1:33:47.120 --> 1:33:49.400 a Tuesday. And I remember I knew Chris Parnell because 1:33:49.400 --> 1:33:51.640 he was from the Groundings. And I said what do 1:33:51.760 --> 1:33:53.400 we do? And he was like, we write? And I 1:33:53.479 --> 1:33:56.479 said till when? And he said all night? And then 1:33:56.479 --> 1:33:58.599 everyone's doors just started closing, and I was like, why 1:33:58.640 --> 1:33:59.519 the fuck am I suposed to do it? 1:33:59.520 --> 1:34:01.040 And you have a play mate? Who were you paired with? 1:34:01.280 --> 1:34:03.720 Well, me and Zach Galifanakis were weirdly put in an 1:34:03.760 --> 1:34:06.600 office together. But he didn't know he had auditioned, but 1:34:06.640 --> 1:34:08.600 he didn't know if he was there to be in 1:34:08.680 --> 1:34:10.479 the cast. Or as a writer, and he found out 1:34:10.479 --> 1:34:11.960 the hard way that he was brought in as like 1:34:12.040 --> 1:34:14.439 a guest writer. And we were just walking back to 1:34:14.520 --> 1:34:17.120 our hotel at the time like so bombed, like just 1:34:17.200 --> 1:34:19.280 disillusion and like we just did not know what was 1:34:19.320 --> 1:34:21.080 going on. It was so bizarre, and it was like 1:34:21.479 --> 1:34:23.080 it was like starting school at the end of the 1:34:23.160 --> 1:34:25.599 school year, when like everybody has a place to sit 1:34:25.680 --> 1:34:26.960 in the cafeteria, you know. 1:34:27.439 --> 1:34:31.880 So who warmed up to you first Molly and Will, and. 1:34:31.960 --> 1:34:34.960 I knew Parnell because they had Molly and Will had 1:34:35.040 --> 1:34:37.080 nothing to lose. They were like the prom king and Queen. 1:34:37.160 --> 1:34:39.080 So they were like, hey, how you doing. And then 1:34:39.160 --> 1:34:42.680 I had a mutual friend because Anna. At the time 1:34:42.720 --> 1:34:44.960 there were a lot That's the thing about the ground 1:34:45.000 --> 1:34:48.960 Links is that I knew that people from there went 1:34:49.040 --> 1:34:50.600 onto the show, and I was like, okay, so I 1:34:50.680 --> 1:34:52.800 got to go there first because at the time, when 1:34:52.800 --> 1:34:54.080 I got out of college, I was like, all right, 1:34:54.120 --> 1:34:56.280 I'm going to go to the Groundlings. That's gonna be 1:34:56.320 --> 1:34:59.439 my graduate school. And at that time it was the 1:34:59.720 --> 1:35:03.400 people that were there from the Growlings were Will Ferrell 1:35:03.479 --> 1:35:08.280 on a Gas Star, Chris Catan, Chris Parnell and who 1:35:08.320 --> 1:35:10.280 am I forgetting somebody else? 1:35:10.320 --> 1:35:10.439 Oh? 1:35:10.479 --> 1:35:15.120 In Cherio Terry, they were like five current cast members 1:35:15.160 --> 1:35:17.000 that were all out of the ground Links. I was like, 1:35:17.000 --> 1:35:18.439 all right, so what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go 1:35:18.439 --> 1:35:21.439 here because I had gone to the Growndings. I weirdly, 1:35:21.920 --> 1:35:23.920 I was weirdly introduced to the Growndings theater when I 1:35:24.000 --> 1:35:26.240 was fourteen because I went to school with Jack Black, 1:35:26.320 --> 1:35:29.120 who was like a couple of years older than me, 1:35:29.280 --> 1:35:32.360 and this like theater kid that I just connected with 1:35:32.600 --> 1:35:34.519 right away, and he became kind of like my mentors. 1:35:34.560 --> 1:35:38.000 He was just like a little bit older and got 1:35:38.040 --> 1:35:40.040 me into improv and everything, and he took me to 1:35:40.120 --> 1:35:43.439 see the Groundlings when I was like fourteen, so I 1:35:43.520 --> 1:35:45.360 knew about the theater and then I knew it was 1:35:45.400 --> 1:35:47.680 in La Like it was a way to get into 1:35:47.720 --> 1:35:49.880 it because people out here go to Chicago, they go 1:35:49.960 --> 1:35:53.760 to Second City, and so I just went, you know, 1:35:54.200 --> 1:35:55.040 in my own backyard. 1:35:55.160 --> 1:35:58.200 Was it hard to adjust there at the Groundings? Yeah? 1:35:58.320 --> 1:36:00.639 No, it was exactly where I should have been, because 1:36:00.640 --> 1:36:02.320 it was like it's like when you find your people, 1:36:03.120 --> 1:36:04.519 it's like, oh, this is where I should have been. 1:36:04.520 --> 1:36:06.280 I shouldn't. Why did I go to college in the 1:36:06.360 --> 1:36:09.960 woods in like northern California and study women's studies with 1:36:10.080 --> 1:36:13.439 like Angela Davis, Like I should be here with all 1:36:13.479 --> 1:36:17.360 these you know, horny nerds. This is this is where 1:36:17.360 --> 1:36:17.800 I belong. 1:36:18.240 --> 1:36:19.840 Oh, God, see, I don't know if I want to 1:36:19.880 --> 1:36:20.719 share this story. 1:36:20.520 --> 1:36:21.880 And you're about to, you do I? 1:36:22.560 --> 1:36:22.840 Okay? 1:36:23.040 --> 1:36:33.240 So I once dated a comedian and a damn okay 1:36:33.439 --> 1:36:37.640 so go in son yeah and Jewish no no, no 1:36:37.840 --> 1:36:41.920 no no. The thing the thing was was that we 1:36:42.360 --> 1:36:45.200 saw like like we were Me and my friends would 1:36:45.240 --> 1:36:50.280 watch her act, uh, and she wasn't fully developed yet 1:36:50.439 --> 1:36:54.840 as a comedian. And the thing was is that my 1:36:55.000 --> 1:36:58.639 friends started laughing at me because they were like face 1:36:58.680 --> 1:36:59.040 and mirrors. 1:36:59.080 --> 1:36:59.719 She's not funny. 1:37:00.400 --> 1:37:05.639 So every time we come to the club, they were 1:37:05.960 --> 1:37:08.800 laughing at me and at her. 1:37:10.040 --> 1:37:14.120 But in her head, she's like your son, I'm killing it. 1:37:15.920 --> 1:37:19.240 Like a stand up. She's a stand just stand up. 1:37:19.640 --> 1:37:22.160 I've never ever done stand that's a whole other animal. 1:37:22.800 --> 1:37:25.240 And that's even worse. Like that's why I won't do it, 1:37:25.280 --> 1:37:28.280 because like you fail at that, you're that's it. 1:37:30.000 --> 1:37:32.200 Yeah, I think you have to drown first before you 1:37:33.000 --> 1:37:35.799 suscitate yourself and it's just like you gotta be horrible 1:37:35.880 --> 1:37:38.240 and then you learn the tricks of the trade. 1:37:38.560 --> 1:37:40.160 I thought that if you were if you want to 1:37:40.200 --> 1:37:41.439 be a community, you had to do stand up. So 1:37:41.520 --> 1:37:43.040 when I was in college, I wrote some stand up 1:37:43.040 --> 1:37:46.599 and I was like, I'm never doing this terrifying because 1:37:46.600 --> 1:37:49.599 I don't like to be exposed. I don't I really, 1:37:50.000 --> 1:37:52.320 I don't like to be vulnerable, and stand up is vulnerable. 1:37:52.600 --> 1:37:55.000 Sand up sam is so much more difficult, in my opinion, 1:37:55.479 --> 1:37:58.240 and I just like to be other people. I mean, 1:37:58.320 --> 1:38:01.920 it's that's what that's what I'm programmed to do. 1:38:03.439 --> 1:38:04.280 So well. 1:38:04.280 --> 1:38:06.439 I mean, I know, it's just it's just so much 1:38:06.560 --> 1:38:10.920 easier to be to not be vulnerable. And I'm sure 1:38:11.000 --> 1:38:13.200 when I was a kid, that's like how I hit it. 1:38:13.400 --> 1:38:15.479 And then I was like, oh, my friends liked this, 1:38:15.680 --> 1:38:18.760 should I should keep doing it. But I also think 1:38:20.040 --> 1:38:23.360 that being around music, I just developed. I think having 1:38:23.439 --> 1:38:26.519 a musical ear made me like a little like a 1:38:26.840 --> 1:38:28.320 like a parrot, like a little bit of a mimic. 1:38:28.760 --> 1:38:31.479 So I didn't realize I was doing voices and stuff 1:38:31.560 --> 1:38:33.200 when I was doing them, But I think I was 1:38:33.280 --> 1:38:34.679 just always doing them. Like if you tell a story 1:38:34.680 --> 1:38:36.800 about somebody and you're like, and then she was like 1:38:37.000 --> 1:38:37.479 why did you. 1:38:39.120 --> 1:38:39.280 Why? 1:38:39.439 --> 1:38:41.439 Why did you get the spicy check in? And then 1:38:41.479 --> 1:38:43.240 you talk like the person and then you realize like, oh, 1:38:43.280 --> 1:38:45.320 I'm I'm just copying sounds. 1:38:45.800 --> 1:38:48.439 I have a question, Yes, sir, do you think like 1:38:48.560 --> 1:38:51.800 growing up around music helped you with your comedy, like 1:38:51.920 --> 1:38:53.600 with timing and all that with rhythm and. 1:38:53.760 --> 1:38:57.599 I kind of think they're intertwined. I do I feel 1:38:57.640 --> 1:38:58.120 like they're. 1:38:59.560 --> 1:39:04.519 I do I feel like they're saying they want be 1:39:04.640 --> 1:39:05.840 saying and vice versas. 1:39:06.000 --> 1:39:06.400 Yes, they do. 1:39:06.520 --> 1:39:08.960 And I've never I've never I've talked to many musicians 1:39:09.000 --> 1:39:11.000 about this, and I've never gotten an answer why. But 1:39:11.600 --> 1:39:15.920 musicians and comedians are are each other's their counterpart, that 1:39:15.960 --> 1:39:19.920 we're totally connected, Absolutely, But I think I think that's 1:39:19.920 --> 1:39:22.599 because there are also skills that other people you can't 1:39:22.720 --> 1:39:25.320 just you can't just acquire them, You have to naturally 1:39:25.439 --> 1:39:26.479 possess them both. 1:39:27.400 --> 1:39:31.000 Do you think that the way you, in a sort 1:39:31.040 --> 1:39:33.600 of therapeutic way, dealt with Absolutely. 1:39:33.880 --> 1:39:35.280 I know exactly what you're asking. 1:39:35.080 --> 1:39:38.960 Because I know no comedian or funny person. 1:39:40.120 --> 1:39:43.280 Uh, especially with all the time that I spent at 1:39:43.320 --> 1:39:46.679 the comedy seller and really getting to know all those people, 1:39:47.320 --> 1:39:51.080 Like behind every person that's ever made me laugh, there's 1:39:51.200 --> 1:39:55.760 like a big giant bowl of pain somewhere in their backyard, 1:39:55.840 --> 1:39:56.519 buried somewhere. 1:39:56.600 --> 1:39:56.720 Well. 1:39:56.720 --> 1:39:58.560 I would also I would also go out on a 1:39:58.640 --> 1:40:02.200 limb and say, I mean, I'm no therapist, but I 1:40:02.280 --> 1:40:05.599 would guess that it was also an active rebellion from 1:40:05.680 --> 1:40:09.040 my from my family. You know, my parents are musicians. 1:40:09.640 --> 1:40:12.040 So I was like, I'm not gonna sing because that's like, 1:40:12.360 --> 1:40:15.080 that's like my that's too painful, that's too hard, Like 1:40:15.760 --> 1:40:17.760 I don't want to expose that pardon me, because that 1:40:18.200 --> 1:40:20.640 like I don't even think I truly sang in my 1:40:20.800 --> 1:40:24.040 own voice, truly truly sang songs in my own voice, 1:40:24.120 --> 1:40:28.920 and publicly until fairly recently, I've only ever. 1:40:28.920 --> 1:40:31.240 Sung at like channeling other people. 1:40:31.400 --> 1:40:34.240 Yeah, because it was too painful because it was just 1:40:34.439 --> 1:40:38.760 like so connected to my mother. So I can sing 1:40:38.840 --> 1:40:41.080 a funny ass song like for the rest of my life, 1:40:41.120 --> 1:40:44.840 Like I can sing anything funny, and that's probably why 1:40:45.000 --> 1:40:47.720 covers are easy. But when it comes to like my 1:40:47.840 --> 1:40:54.840 actual my real voice, singing is very very intense for me, 1:40:55.040 --> 1:40:58.760 and I think the probably the natural, Like just the 1:40:58.960 --> 1:41:02.800 light from comic you just was so much more. You 1:41:02.880 --> 1:41:05.599 can hide, you can hide in comedy, and I can. 1:41:06.040 --> 1:41:08.200 You can hide and be a million things. And then 1:41:08.240 --> 1:41:10.640 I'd also just think it's so fascinating to like be 1:41:10.880 --> 1:41:15.080 mixed and then just like pretend to be other people, 1:41:15.520 --> 1:41:18.320 you know, because you're like it has so much to 1:41:18.360 --> 1:41:20.280 do with the time I was growing up, Like being 1:41:20.360 --> 1:41:23.080 mixed wasn't as cool as it is now, you know, 1:41:23.479 --> 1:41:25.120 like the cause we show everyone on the show was 1:41:25.240 --> 1:41:28.400 considered black, but like Lisa Bonet was mixed, right, you know, 1:41:28.640 --> 1:41:32.880 like people didn't even say what mixed was. And so 1:41:32.960 --> 1:41:34.639 I think it was just easier to like just pretend 1:41:34.680 --> 1:41:37.519 to like be other people. And it's just all undertwined. 1:41:37.560 --> 1:41:40.559 But yes, I think it's absolutely that. And it's also 1:41:40.640 --> 1:41:42.960 like that rebellion from what your parents do, you have 1:41:43.080 --> 1:41:45.639 to do something else, But it was also cool. Comedy 1:41:45.720 --> 1:41:48.720 was cool to them, Like my mom was, like I 1:41:48.800 --> 1:41:50.840 think I remember my parents going to see like Richard 1:41:50.920 --> 1:41:55.880 Pryor concerts and there's some famous I got mister Mister 1:41:56.120 --> 1:41:57.040 Rudolph and the Monkey. 1:41:57.760 --> 1:41:59.000 Yes, is that what it's called? 1:42:01.720 --> 1:42:04.280 I knew it fucking with my dad. Yeah, I knew it. 1:42:04.520 --> 1:42:04.880 I knew it. 1:42:04.960 --> 1:42:09.599 He had a character called Miss Rudolph that his mud 1:42:09.680 --> 1:42:13.200 boone character would have to give like a chicken's leg 1:42:13.320 --> 1:42:16.839 to like like an old toothsayer lady like Miss Rudolph 1:42:16.960 --> 1:42:20.240 was always a name that I always heard, and it. 1:42:20.360 --> 1:42:22.160 Was about my mom and she and he would fuck 1:42:22.200 --> 1:42:24.400 with my dad, like when they would be sitting there, 1:42:24.439 --> 1:42:25.040 but it was I think. 1:42:25.200 --> 1:42:27.840 I even have some outtakes of Richard Pryor concerts where 1:42:27.960 --> 1:42:30.160 like your mom was always in the audience. 1:42:30.320 --> 1:42:33.560 I don't three concerts in which I know that's what 1:42:33.640 --> 1:42:35.479 I heard too, And I actually don't know them as 1:42:35.520 --> 1:42:37.920 well as you do, because as a kid, I don't 1:42:37.920 --> 1:42:39.960 think they were exposing me to the recordings. But I 1:42:40.040 --> 1:42:44.880 knew about it, like enough, I need to revisit Miss 1:42:44.960 --> 1:42:45.759 Rudolph and the Monkey. 1:42:46.000 --> 1:42:48.479 Well, see the tables have turned now, because now I 1:42:48.560 --> 1:42:54.679 think it's like you're Maya Rudolph and that's Maya Rudolph's mother, 1:42:55.120 --> 1:42:56.200 Like it's not even. 1:42:57.720 --> 1:42:59.320 Well, that's again back to you. 1:42:59.520 --> 1:43:01.600 Was like, you know, the the escaping the shadow of 1:43:01.680 --> 1:43:04.720 being many Riperton's daughter as opposed to well, you know what. 1:43:04.880 --> 1:43:08.679 Though, that doesn't exist for me because I will say 1:43:10.240 --> 1:43:12.200 growing up, I didn't feel like my mother was a 1:43:12.240 --> 1:43:14.240 household name. I feel like people who knew my mother 1:43:14.360 --> 1:43:18.120 knew my mother, or they'd go or they'd know that song. 1:43:18.400 --> 1:43:20.840 But I didn't feel I wasn't Diana Ross's daughter, Like 1:43:20.920 --> 1:43:23.160 it was a different thing, and so people didn't know. 1:43:24.320 --> 1:43:26.920 How was that like for you? Like did you know 1:43:27.560 --> 1:43:28.640 that your mother was. 1:43:30.439 --> 1:43:30.639 Yeah? 1:43:30.720 --> 1:43:33.120 Yeah, Like was that ever or did you or even 1:43:33.160 --> 1:43:35.640 like I think, did you know even like what your 1:43:35.720 --> 1:43:37.920 dad was doing, Like did you know that you were 1:43:37.920 --> 1:43:41.320 maybe a little more privileged or had you know then 1:43:41.479 --> 1:43:43.160 maybe other kids or whatever. 1:43:43.800 --> 1:43:47.759 Not even with like even our era like Tribe samples, 1:43:47.800 --> 1:43:51.599 where like many ripton was like such a yeah, I didn't. 1:43:51.800 --> 1:43:54.120 I mean that was really fascinating to me. Like starting 1:43:54.200 --> 1:43:57.080 college was when that Tribe album came out that was 1:43:57.160 --> 1:44:00.200 literally like half of it was like my mother, you know, 1:44:00.400 --> 1:44:03.200 or songs that songs that I'd grown up listening to 1:44:03.600 --> 1:44:05.760 and had stopped listening to because it was too hard 1:44:05.800 --> 1:44:08.240 to put those records on. But it was just becoming 1:44:08.320 --> 1:44:10.320 cool that like my friend who was like the DJ 1:44:10.439 --> 1:44:12.599 in college would play like, you know those songs where 1:44:12.600 --> 1:44:14.320 I was like, are you playing my mom? 1:44:14.840 --> 1:44:15.040 Wow? 1:44:15.080 --> 1:44:16.760 You're playing my mother's music. And then I was like, 1:44:16.800 --> 1:44:19.519 wait a minute, that's why that's familiar to me. It's 1:44:19.720 --> 1:44:22.120 that's my that's my mother, you know where that's like 1:44:22.160 --> 1:44:26.640 the beginning, Yes, exactly, And that was the stuff my 1:44:26.720 --> 1:44:29.200 dad and I would talk about, like because sampling was 1:44:29.240 --> 1:44:31.760 so fascinating to him at the time, and talking about 1:44:31.800 --> 1:44:35.040 that and what that had become in the industry because 1:44:35.040 --> 1:44:38.160 my dad's such an artist, and was like, but you 1:44:38.280 --> 1:44:40.760 know what that that to me was that was such 1:44:40.800 --> 1:44:45.720 a prideful moment of like those cool people know, like 1:44:45.960 --> 1:44:48.280 my people that it took. 1:44:48.200 --> 1:44:51.479 Me a long time to revisit music well. 1:44:51.439 --> 1:44:54.559 Yes, and also to realize that people were out there. Plus, 1:44:54.640 --> 1:44:57.759 my last name is Rudolph, so until I really started acting, 1:44:57.800 --> 1:45:00.880 people didn't know that was my mom. And then and 1:45:01.000 --> 1:45:03.639 then and then the other part about my mom that's 1:45:03.720 --> 1:45:07.599 just so fascinating is like people are so I don't 1:45:07.640 --> 1:45:09.400 know what it is. I don't know if it's because 1:45:09.439 --> 1:45:11.120 she was so young when she died, and it was like, 1:45:11.800 --> 1:45:13.680 you know, pre YouTube, we didn't have like you were 1:45:13.760 --> 1:45:15.240 the first person I ever met. It was like, I 1:45:15.320 --> 1:45:17.840 have footage of like your mom on talk shows and 1:45:17.840 --> 1:45:19.280 I was like what I didn't know that stuff. I 1:45:19.320 --> 1:45:23.280 thought all that stuff was gone. And people have always 1:45:23.439 --> 1:45:29.519 like used me to vent like their their feelings about her. 1:45:29.560 --> 1:45:33.200 I'm like this weird funnel for like mini, like your 1:45:33.320 --> 1:45:35.679 mother was so like and it's so I get stopped 1:45:35.720 --> 1:45:38.559 on this. Yes, it's so deep. 1:45:38.760 --> 1:45:40.400 Yeah, and it told me like seven years to even 1:45:40.479 --> 1:45:41.320 start to bring it up. 1:45:41.360 --> 1:45:43.640 Like I was just like, I'm a big fan, but 1:45:43.800 --> 1:45:46.640 that's different and that's not I mean I truly like 1:45:47.000 --> 1:45:52.040 I'll get the occasional just random adult you know who 1:45:52.080 --> 1:45:56.680 will just be like it's like they're like, you know, 1:45:56.760 --> 1:45:59.120 and they just find me. And this was way before 1:45:59.160 --> 1:46:01.000 I was ever on the show or anything like that. 1:46:01.479 --> 1:46:01.759 Wow. 1:46:03.320 --> 1:46:11.480 But there's always been some layer of her that is otherworldly. 1:46:11.800 --> 1:46:15.200 I think because of that, that element of her voice 1:46:15.320 --> 1:46:19.360 being something else, something that feels sort of like non 1:46:19.960 --> 1:46:24.880 human to a lot of people, people just associate her 1:46:24.960 --> 1:46:28.160 with like something else. There's like I've just always gotten 1:46:28.439 --> 1:46:30.519 people stopping me about her in that way. 1:46:31.280 --> 1:46:34.240 I think it's because she's she's spiritual. She's in that 1:46:34.280 --> 1:46:35.280 Stevie Wonder category. 1:46:35.360 --> 1:46:37.760 Yeah, Like because your mom didn't really come from the 1:46:37.920 --> 1:46:42.320 gospel background of black music, so I would say, she's 1:46:42.400 --> 1:46:47.639 almost the shade of her of that period, because shade, 1:46:48.840 --> 1:46:52.320 you know, meant a lot to black people and white 1:46:52.360 --> 1:46:55.759 people like but you know, she didn't come from a gospel, 1:46:56.520 --> 1:46:59.400 you know, down home background, at least the way that 1:46:59.479 --> 1:47:01.880 she project to herself there was like a class thing. 1:47:02.120 --> 1:47:04.080 I say, it was very classic my mother, I mean, 1:47:04.120 --> 1:47:06.599 my grant, I'm sorry. My aunt was a big Many 1:47:06.680 --> 1:47:08.720 Ribson fan and that was the first time I got 1:47:10.439 --> 1:47:12.880 I was introduced to her music. And this is like, 1:47:13.120 --> 1:47:16.200 you know, you talk about how your parents, that was 1:47:16.240 --> 1:47:18.400 the first time they usually talk about death, like her 1:47:18.479 --> 1:47:21.080 death talk about it. I remember my mom because my 1:47:21.160 --> 1:47:23.320 mom would play Loving You like just she would just 1:47:23.320 --> 1:47:25.160 play Loving You. And I remember here, I was like, Mama, 1:47:25.160 --> 1:47:26.519 who is that? And she was like, there's many Ribs. 1:47:26.560 --> 1:47:28.559 I'm like, oh, who is that? And she would tell me, oh, 1:47:28.680 --> 1:47:30.600 this lady, you know, she died and you know, and 1:47:30.760 --> 1:47:32.640 so then you know, I looked at the album cover 1:47:32.760 --> 1:47:34.719 and it was like, I think it Avengeans in Paradise. 1:47:34.720 --> 1:47:36.280 So she's with the Lion. I think that's the lion. 1:47:36.439 --> 1:47:39.000 YEP cover is that one? And so my aunt would 1:47:39.040 --> 1:47:41.080 have all our records and this is in the eighties, 1:47:41.120 --> 1:47:45.280 and so my aunt was like she was very this 1:47:45.400 --> 1:47:47.200 is kind of like she was like a black yuppie 1:47:47.320 --> 1:47:48.800 kind of you know what I mean. She was teaching 1:47:48.840 --> 1:47:52.040 school chat on apartment. She had the first like answer machine, 1:47:52.120 --> 1:47:53.960 like that was the first time I ever saw an 1:47:53.960 --> 1:47:57.679 answer machine ever. And so she would play your mom's 1:47:57.760 --> 1:48:00.479 music all the time, and it was just like what 1:48:00.560 --> 1:48:02.600 a Mi said, it was really like classy. I just 1:48:02.680 --> 1:48:06.320 remember seeing her and it wasn't like the disco stuff, 1:48:06.360 --> 1:48:10.040 like she didn't like you. I mean, y'all shot for records, 1:48:10.080 --> 1:48:12.080 so you know if you see an album cover and 1:48:12.200 --> 1:48:14.519 you know, and it's like nine niggas in. 1:48:14.600 --> 1:48:15.599 Silver suits and shit. 1:48:17.280 --> 1:48:20.720 I mean, your mother was always just really she just 1:48:20.800 --> 1:48:22.680 had her own things, just really classy. And I just 1:48:22.760 --> 1:48:25.200 always remember that do you ever see the lion attacking 1:48:25.280 --> 1:48:25.679 her video? 1:48:25.920 --> 1:48:28.120 Yes, you can see my dad coming in to make 1:48:28.120 --> 1:48:30.680 sure she's okay. It was like a promo commercial.
