<v Speaker 1>I normally don't. I never I never do like rapid

0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:31.920
<v Speaker 1>fire questions on this show. Like it's always like, you know,

0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:35.360
<v Speaker 1>the conversation yeah, like, oh so you were born in Yes,

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 1>I know you're born in I'm pretty sure that everyone

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 1>pretty much knows your backstory. So this is a question.

0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:43.160
<v Speaker 1>I always wanted to start with. What did you have

0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:44.120
<v Speaker 1>for breakfast this morning?

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 2>I had U pancakes you have in syrup you cook

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 2>them more, you know, I had. I had a meeting

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 2>this morning. What time do you wake up? Man? I

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 2>don't want to wake up, but the kids wake me up.

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:01.920
<v Speaker 2>They it's insane right now. I have a six year

0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:03.200
<v Speaker 2>old and the four and a half year old, and

0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 2>they get in bed around probably four in the morning.

0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 2>Usually wait what I know, and I'm just like, dude,

0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 2>I gotta sleep, but we show biz kids. My wife

0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:14.840
<v Speaker 2>is like, no, no, they go to sleep at like

0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:17.120
<v Speaker 2>seven or at night, but in their room. But then

0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:19.240
<v Speaker 2>at four in the morning, they walk into our bedroom

0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.200
<v Speaker 2>and come into bed with me and my wife and

0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:23.360
<v Speaker 2>just want to sleep in the bed with us. And

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:25.279
<v Speaker 2>I was like, we got to just tell them no,

0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:26.560
<v Speaker 2>and they got to go back to the room. My

0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 2>wife's like, they won't do it forever. There's no you know,

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:34.280
<v Speaker 2>thirty year old kids sleep with their parents. She's eventually

0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.040
<v Speaker 2>they figure it out. She goes, one day we'll be

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 2>wanting our kids to come in and send it laying.

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:40.839
<v Speaker 2>So anyways, so they come in around four, I try

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 2>to I toss and turn till about probably seven, and

0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:46.440
<v Speaker 2>then we wake up around six thirty seven.

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:48.520
<v Speaker 1>When he's not out of school age now she in

0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:49.080
<v Speaker 1>first grade.

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.000
<v Speaker 2>She's in first grade, and she still wants to get

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:52.800
<v Speaker 2>up at six in the morning. Oh yeah, they got

0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 2>up at six in the morning. They play for they're

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 2>excited and they love it. They play for an hour

0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.000
<v Speaker 2>like all their toys, and then we brush our teeth

0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.200
<v Speaker 2>and that we have breakfast. We usually make them breakfast,

0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 2>but I didn't eat with them because I had to.

0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:05.040
<v Speaker 2>But normally what I would do is you know what

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:09.680
<v Speaker 2>I've been doing is the gross apple cider, vinegar, lemon,

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:13.320
<v Speaker 2>hot water. I love that now you do, and I'm

0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 2>used to it. I'm still not used to it. It's

0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:18.560
<v Speaker 2>disguis's honestly painful for me, really to drink vinegar every morning.

0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.880
<v Speaker 2>It sounds like torture. Why did we do that to

0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 2>each other?

0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Or do you put a little bit of honey in it? Yes,

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:25.359
<v Speaker 1>and it's still hard.

0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:27.120
<v Speaker 2>It's getting better a little bit for me, but I

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:29.320
<v Speaker 2>think I was maybe I was putting too much vinegar

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.080
<v Speaker 2>in mine. Oh okay, I was just drinking like hot vinegar.

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.839
<v Speaker 2>It was pretty gross. But you do it every day.

0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:35.760
<v Speaker 1>I look forward to it.

0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:36.320
<v Speaker 2>You do.

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And I put Kian pepper.

0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:40.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I do that never now and then I throw

0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:43.480
<v Speaker 2>that in there. But anyways, so that's normally I would

0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.039
<v Speaker 2>not have breakfast. I would just have that, but I

0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:47.680
<v Speaker 2>had a meeting about the show today, so I had

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:49.799
<v Speaker 2>to go order something to just be rude.

0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:53.400
<v Speaker 1>So your morning routine usually starts at seven, yeah, and

0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:56.640
<v Speaker 1>then because the thing is is that sometimes I'll say

0:05:56.680 --> 0:06:01.679
<v Speaker 1>most of the time, unless we're talking about a sketch

0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:05.800
<v Speaker 1>or some sort of whatever, the format of what we're

0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna do later, I never see you, so I never

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:12.320
<v Speaker 1>know what your morning routine is from nine from eight

0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:16.200
<v Speaker 1>in the morning till three or two. Yeah, because usually

0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:21.680
<v Speaker 1>I'll say that I used to probably up until like

0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:24.240
<v Speaker 1>a year and a half ago, I used to go

0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 1>to bed at five and then wake up at nine.

0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:32.800
<v Speaker 1>But now I'm on a whole new regular schedule. Like

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:36.320
<v Speaker 1>this is the most regular I've ever been in. You know,

0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:41.480
<v Speaker 1>my my girl won't allow me to. She wants it

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:45.039
<v Speaker 1>lights out at eleven o'clock and no Soul train on

0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.359
<v Speaker 1>loop either, Like, wow, I watch soul train.

0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, usually when I walk in, you got, she asked me?

0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 1>She has me all like maybe I'll say, like I

0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:06.000
<v Speaker 1>could probably do three episodes a week a week, that's it.

0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I used to do three hundred a day. Gosh, like

0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 1>she used to be my jukebox or that sort of thing.

0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.040
<v Speaker 2>So I go to bed as soon as I can.

0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:17.680
<v Speaker 2>I go. I'm one of those people now I go

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:19.320
<v Speaker 2>out to dinner. If I go out to dinner with Nancy,

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:21.480
<v Speaker 2>we go out at like I'm there at five o'clock.

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 1>So you like, I can't wait to go to sleep.

0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:25.120
<v Speaker 2>I love sleep, I.

0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Started I hate I mean, I'm afraid that sleep is

0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:33.160
<v Speaker 1>I feel like me is saying like, oh man, I

0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:34.040
<v Speaker 1>can't wait to go to bed?

0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 2>Is last of time?

0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, no, I just feel like it's it's me admitting

0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:40.680
<v Speaker 1>that I'm getting up there. Like I used to be

0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:42.760

<v Speaker 2>I'm like, oh, so they can leave you alone, or

0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:56.720
<v Speaker 2>so I could leave them alone or help them out,

0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.400
<v Speaker 2>Like you use this coupon whenever you want me to go, Like, I'll,

0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, watch the car, I'll do whatever. I'll instead

<v Speaker 2>of just regularly regularly regula chores. Yeah, exactly like that.

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:06.320
<v Speaker 2>All right.

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.720
<v Speaker 1>So you of course mentioned your your dad's affinity and

0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:12.520
<v Speaker 1>love for do wop music.

0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, I grew up with it, loved it.

0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.160
<v Speaker 1>What's the first single do you remember purchasing?

0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:23.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh man, non doop or just in general? Verse forty five?

0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.560
<v Speaker 1>So like his record collection was your record collection?

0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember that.

0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, all right, So what was your favorite of his

0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:31.920
<v Speaker 1>of his record collection.

0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:36.080
<v Speaker 2>You're trying to learn harmony to the song called Zoom

0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:46.120
<v Speaker 2>because like zoom zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoomzoom,

0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:51.760
<v Speaker 2>zoom zoom zoom zoom.

0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:54.679
<v Speaker 1>The same format. I've never heard this song in my life,

0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:56.480
<v Speaker 1>but I knew it, so I.

0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Was trying to. So he would try to teach me

0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:00.079
<v Speaker 2>and my sister to sing Zoom so we could like

0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.680
<v Speaker 2>harmonize and be like, you know, I don't know the

0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:09.880
<v Speaker 2>Osmonds or whatever some towns. No, I was Marie, but

0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:14.160
<v Speaker 2>I was. It's like so my sister immediately was like,

0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:16.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm out. I don't even I don't get harmony. I

0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:18.560
<v Speaker 2>don't like this. I'm out of the out of the group.

0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:21.200
<v Speaker 2>But me and my dad were even rebel. I mean yeah,

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Gloria was the rep. So me and my dad could

0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:25.760
<v Speaker 2>sing zoom pretty well. Uh. And so that was just

0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:29.400
<v Speaker 2>I would just start learning all these harmonies and then

0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:31.280
<v Speaker 2>getting in the trick your harmonies and trying to like,

0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:32.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I just loved it.

0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:34.920
<v Speaker 1>I just so would he would he go to all

0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:38.680
<v Speaker 1>those like Dick Fox productions of like at Westbury Music

0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Forear do wop Yeah.

0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.760
<v Speaker 2>Kind of yeah. We I grew up in Sagerty's, New York,

0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:46.160
<v Speaker 2>which is upstate by Kingston, p Keepsie, Woodstock, that area.

0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:50.400
<v Speaker 2>So there was a place called Ulster Performing Arts Center,

0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:53.760
<v Speaker 2>you pack, and they would have oldie shows there, and

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:57.079
<v Speaker 2>so I would go to see. My first concert concert

0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:01.120
<v Speaker 2>was Weird Al Yankovic. But my first kind of venture

0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.079
<v Speaker 2>into concert was with the whole family. We went to

0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:07.199
<v Speaker 2>a do up show and I saw like, oh gosh,

0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:07.800
<v Speaker 2>you know.

0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Chances are it was a Dick Fox production.

0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Larry Chance and the Earls were there.

0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, member Rember.

0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:28.040
<v Speaker 2>I saw Joey D and the Starlights star Lighters they

0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:35.280
<v Speaker 2>got another dancing the dance the peppermn.

0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Side note all right, So not many people know that

0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Hendricks used to play in Joey D and the star Lighters.

0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:47.720
<v Speaker 1>What yeah, Hendricks. Joey always tells that story, like when

0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 1>when I see him. Joey D had a son that

0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:53.720
<v Speaker 1>was in the star Lighters was my age, and so

0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:57.080
<v Speaker 1>at one point in nineteen eighty five, my dad had

0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:01.559
<v Speaker 1>this idea like, Okay, we're gonna get Joey D's son,

0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Gary us Bond's daughter. But my maddle name is Middle's sister,

0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:19.320
<v Speaker 1>right right, his two nieces, my sister and I. It

0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.720
<v Speaker 1>was like a eight It was like an eight eight

0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:27.000
<v Speaker 1>kid group of all duop legends, and they wanted to

0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:33.080
<v Speaker 1>call it UBI the next Generation. Oh like Redo Duop

0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:37.160
<v Speaker 1>called UBI. I don't know if we were redoing duop,

0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:38.760
<v Speaker 1>but it was just a thing like, let's put a

0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:42.920
<v Speaker 1>supergroup together of all like the legends. We did one

0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:47.520
<v Speaker 1>session at the studio that's now that used to be

0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:52.959
<v Speaker 1>Sony on fifty fourth and eleventh Avenue. So somewhere in

0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.720
<v Speaker 1>their files in nineteen eighty six there's like a four

0:12:56.080 --> 0:13:02.679
<v Speaker 1>song oldies do op demo from the Legends of Douop.

0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:04.760
<v Speaker 1>I think that was like my first studio session ever.

0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:07.559
<v Speaker 2>No way, yeah, was it a cappella? Was a duop?

0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:09.920
<v Speaker 2>Or is it? No? We played like I drummed and

0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:12.000
<v Speaker 2>see I could see that working. But that's because I

0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:14.480
<v Speaker 2>think I grew up brainwashed that duop was the only.

0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:15.679
<v Speaker 1>Music I thought, right right.

0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:17.959
<v Speaker 2>My parents tricked me as well, because well, my dad

0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.520
<v Speaker 2>was in Vietnam, so he was like he had these real,

0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:22.440
<v Speaker 2>real tapes of him and his group on the ship

0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:25.680
<v Speaker 2>singing duop. So I always thought that Vietnam everyone sang

0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:28.000
<v Speaker 2>duop songs. And then I'm watching these movies. I watch

0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Apocalypse Now or whatever, and no one's singing any duop

0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:34.320
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, I'm here like the doors, and right,

0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:38.160
<v Speaker 2>did I go? What is this music? I know for

0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:40.559
<v Speaker 2>a fact people sang do op until she turns out.

0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:42.120
<v Speaker 2>My dad was just like a nerd to me.

0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:44.800
<v Speaker 1>No, we got tricked, man, we got trick right, because

0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:49.559
<v Speaker 1>in my first grade class, my first homework assignment was

0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:54.720
<v Speaker 1>bring in in your favorite forty five. The next day

0:13:55.200 --> 0:14:00.280
<v Speaker 1>everyone came in with contemporary stuff and he gives I

0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:18.559
<v Speaker 1>just want to be everything disco duck yeah, rick D's

0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:22.800
<v Speaker 1>all that stuff. And I came in with why do

0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Fools fall in Love?

0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:28.160
<v Speaker 2>What fools?

0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:33.680
<v Speaker 1>And my teachers were like, oh, this is from my era,

0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:39.440
<v Speaker 1>and none of the kids knew my record. And wait

0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:42.160
<v Speaker 1>a second, right, my teacher explained, like, well, a mere

0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.240
<v Speaker 1>like when I was your age, this is what I

0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:44.800
<v Speaker 1>listened to.

0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:48.480
<v Speaker 2>And I'm looking like, how come this isn't resident if

0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:50.760
<v Speaker 2>you guys this happened to me? But such later in life,

0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:54.160
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I was actually in high school or

0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:55.520
<v Speaker 2>college people do that now.

0:14:55.600 --> 0:15:02.880
<v Speaker 1>I remember at one point, uh Comal decided that he

0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:07.840
<v Speaker 1>was going to make his kids think that Michael Jackson's

0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Off the Wall was a brand new album. So I

0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:14.160
<v Speaker 1>know kids that do that now, like just put their

0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.880
<v Speaker 1>kids in the time warp and don't listen. You know,

0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:18.080
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing for it.

0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:21.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, did it work for a little bit.

0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's weird now because I'll say that of all

0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:31.040
<v Speaker 1>the Roots kids, Kamal's kids are the weirdest. Yeah, his daughter. Now,

0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:36.360
<v Speaker 1>as this taping, your Your Grateful Dead experience will be over.

0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:42.360
<v Speaker 1>But Kamal's oldest daughter is and she I think she

0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:47.080
<v Speaker 1>just turned twenty. She's like a total deadhead, like she

0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.720
<v Speaker 1>knows American beauty. She went to college one year and

0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:54.680
<v Speaker 1>then they just put her on to like the first

0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.120
<v Speaker 1>four Grateful Dead records because she had all these quotes

0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:58.640
<v Speaker 1>on her social media. I'm like, wait a minute, what

0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:00.520
<v Speaker 1>do you know about Cherry Carsia?

0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.840
<v Speaker 2>Dude. I think it's changed my life a little bit.

0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:05.880
<v Speaker 2>I've never listened to him at all, and I'm really

0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:07.440
<v Speaker 2>into it. I dig it, I get it all right,

0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:08.320
<v Speaker 2>I totally get it.

0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:16.040
<v Speaker 1>And then Kamal's son is straight up country what yo, No,

0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:19.200
<v Speaker 1>I think your kids. Your kids are going to be

0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:22.920
<v Speaker 1>the total opposite of what you are, which explains it

0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:28.360
<v Speaker 1>because even Kirks Kirk's son is into like the hardest

0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:32.720
<v Speaker 1>trap music of all time. Really, like when when certain

0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.280
<v Speaker 1>acts come on the show and kirk Son doesn't show up,

0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, Yo, you didn't want to see Da Da

0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Da Da Da. You'd be like, Nah, that's too commercial

0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:39.400
<v Speaker 1>for me.

0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:43.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, what, like like the underground stuff?

0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.480
<v Speaker 1>He if it's if it's if it's too mainstream, he

0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:46.640
<v Speaker 1>won't he won't mess with it.

0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:48.440
<v Speaker 2>I just realized I gotta teach you when he had

0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:51.480
<v Speaker 2>to dance because we went to this Halloween party and

0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:54.760
<v Speaker 2>they're like first grader dance competition. Who wants to dance?

0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:56.640
<v Speaker 2>And she goes, well, I have to go, dad, it's

0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:59.600
<v Speaker 2>first dance competition. I'm like, do you really know how

0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:02.720
<v Speaker 2>to dance? And dude, they played like everybody dance now,

0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.159
<v Speaker 2>and she just stood there and kind of like walked

0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:09.680
<v Speaker 2>back and forth. It's really stiff, and the dude next

0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:13.360
<v Speaker 2>to her was like doing backspins and flips and like moonwalking,

0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:15.879
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, oh my gosh, my kid does

0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:17.160
<v Speaker 2>not know how to dance. I got a teacher.

0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Your kids discover YouTube yet no, Yeah, it's like they

0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:23.760
<v Speaker 1>got it. I mean YouTube's a slippery slope because you

0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:25.640
<v Speaker 1>don't want them controlling, like what the search.

0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:27.719
<v Speaker 2>I was watching one thing and I just said, hey,

0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:30.200
<v Speaker 2>maybe no more YouTube because it was no It was

0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:33.840
<v Speaker 2>like adults moving toys around and doing voices for dolls

0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:37.360
<v Speaker 2>like that's it, dude. And they were obsessed with this show.

0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:39.560
<v Speaker 2>And it's like it's the any parent out there knows

0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:41.199
<v Speaker 2>what I'm talking about. It is the creepiest thing ever.

0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.600
<v Speaker 2>There's like a hand will hold like a paw patrol

0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:46.560
<v Speaker 2>doll and be like, hey, what are you doing? Oh

0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:49.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm and they play with dolls and the kids just

0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:52.320
<v Speaker 2>watch it like like it's them playing with dolls and

0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:54.920
<v Speaker 2>it's the It goes on for hours on a loop

0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:57.560
<v Speaker 2>on YouTube and kids like it. Don't know how they

0:17:57.640 --> 0:17:59.479
<v Speaker 2>found it, but they loved it. And I was like, oh,

0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:01.240
<v Speaker 2>do we got take us? We gotta watch something with

0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:05.040
<v Speaker 2>the beginning, middle, end, a plot, anything. You could watch anything,

0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:05.920
<v Speaker 2>but not this.

0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:07.160
<v Speaker 1>What's it called?

0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:10.560
<v Speaker 2>I have no idea what it's called, but I almost

0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:14.119
<v Speaker 2>want to soothe these people. It's like I don't like it.

0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:15.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't want it in my house.

0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:17.360

<v Speaker 2>them soul training. I should.

0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:30.120
<v Speaker 1>I gotta get put on trust me a good soul

0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:32.520
<v Speaker 1>tiraying clip. They will emulate it. That's how everyone in

0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:35.159
<v Speaker 1>America learns how to dance. That's it, Yes, that's how

0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:39.840
<v Speaker 1>they learned. Hey, do you remember the first mixtape you

0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:40.760
<v Speaker 1>ever made for someone?

0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:43.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he has a big deal.

0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:45.359
<v Speaker 1>How long did it take you to craft it?

0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh? I mean plusing play record and pause and having

0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:51.760
<v Speaker 2>the record startup. And it wasn't even a great mixtape.

0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:53.919
<v Speaker 2>It was just my stuff, which is all weird stuff.

0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:55.800
<v Speaker 2>And I would take it because I had this thing

0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:57.760
<v Speaker 2>when I was a kid that I didn't and this

0:18:57.840 --> 0:18:59.680
<v Speaker 2>is you could ask my sister. I wouldn't let anyone

0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:03.520
<v Speaker 2>copy my music. Why because I thought it would affect

0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:07.120
<v Speaker 2>the record industry. Wait what because I must have seen

0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:10.040
<v Speaker 2>someone talk about it on TV or so. I said,

0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:12.800
<v Speaker 2>you're going to ruin the record industry if you record

0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:15.440
<v Speaker 2>a song, if you take my song, you have to

0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:17.720
<v Speaker 2>buy the record. You can't just take the song off

0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:20.120
<v Speaker 2>of by record. The eyebaught He's going to ruin the industry.

0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:23.159
<v Speaker 2>And my sister was like, you're the worst, You're the

0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:25.960
<v Speaker 2>weirdest kid. And so I would have to take my

0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:29.159
<v Speaker 2>music to the party. I play my mixtape, then I

0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:31.920
<v Speaker 2>take the tape home. I would just I would own

0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:32.960
<v Speaker 2>my mixtapes.

0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:37.640
<v Speaker 1>You wouldn't give it to no one, No, no, shut up, Bill,

0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:40.560
<v Speaker 1>no boss. Bill's in the other room, like, yes, I

0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:41.399
<v Speaker 1>agree with you.

0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:45.200
<v Speaker 2>Right right, I would I. I wouldn't give it to anyone,

0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:45.920
<v Speaker 2>not even my sister.

0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:48.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, man, I was the opposite. I feel I

0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:54.639
<v Speaker 1>am Spotify like the the The amount of work I

0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:57.040
<v Speaker 1>don't have to do now in the age of streaming

0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:00.359
<v Speaker 1>is mind boggling because back when you we had to

0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:02.680
<v Speaker 1>make mixtapes and mix you have to listen to the

0:20:02.720 --> 0:20:04.600
<v Speaker 1>whole song. I was the guy you had to come

0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:09.920
<v Speaker 1>to to make whatever, Like I was the king of mixtape,

0:20:09.960 --> 0:20:12.800
<v Speaker 1>make it. But you never made a mixtape for anyone.

0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:15.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean I might have done like earlier, because

0:20:15.400 --> 0:20:17.760
<v Speaker 2>I remember I used to listen to the radio all

0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:19.320
<v Speaker 2>the time. I was like, I loved it. I had

0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:23.399
<v Speaker 2>a boombox and I'm trying to think of the brand,

0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:26.199
<v Speaker 2>the brand name of my boombox. I forget. I mean

0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:28.440
<v Speaker 2>I remember it in my brain looking at it. Just

0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:31.119
<v Speaker 2>to listen to this radio station, have play record and pause,

0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:33.840
<v Speaker 2>just there, just in case a song came on the radio.

0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:37.560
<v Speaker 2>Ghostbusters was my jam. I was like Ray Parker Junior, Ghostbusters.

0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:42.080
<v Speaker 2>If I hear that, I would run over and like

0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:43.119
<v Speaker 2>try to record it.

0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:44.080
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, oh.

0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:47.280
<v Speaker 2>And then like I remember listening to another like my

0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:49.320
<v Speaker 2>dad would play radio and I would bring the boom

0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:52.159
<v Speaker 2>box over to his speaker so I could record the

0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:55.240
<v Speaker 2>song from his speaker onto my cassette player so I

0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:57.240
<v Speaker 2>can tape it that way, like if there was like

0:20:57.280 --> 0:20:59.119
<v Speaker 2>a special Beatles thing. I was really into the Beatles

0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:02.800
<v Speaker 2>at one point, right, so I had those type of mixtapes.

0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:06.320
<v Speaker 2>And then I remember listening to Doctor Demento. Do you

0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:06.960
<v Speaker 2>know him at all?

0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:09.560
<v Speaker 1>That's how weird Out got to start, right, Yeah, Okay,

0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:12.040
<v Speaker 1>He's just was the legend of Doctor Demento.

0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:15.359
<v Speaker 2>He played novelty songs and novelty record so any comedy

0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:18.000
<v Speaker 2>song there was a whole mess, a whole different. They

0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:20.560
<v Speaker 2>don't do it anymore as much, but in the seventies,

0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:24.600
<v Speaker 2>especially in the eighties. Uh, it was all comedy joke

0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:26.879
<v Speaker 2>songs like that was the birth of weird al But

0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:29.160
<v Speaker 2>it was like Steve Martin, you know, doing King tut

0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:33.640
<v Speaker 2>that was like it charted that That's all Duck. Yeah,

0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:35.399
<v Speaker 2>that disco Duck was a hit. So, I mean, that's

0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:37.320
<v Speaker 2>a novelty record. All these like but do you remember

0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:40.240
<v Speaker 2>he would just play novelty records. Do you remember the Coasters?

0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:49.480
<v Speaker 2>They had that song well jobing cad like what dun.

0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:54.639
<v Speaker 2>It was called beat Beep and then by the end

0:21:54.720 --> 0:21:57.600
<v Speaker 2>of the song it gets faster, so it's like that

0:21:57.720 --> 0:22:01.600
<v Speaker 2>that don that then that betpep bet beep, the hormone

0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:03.320
<v Speaker 2>beat beep beep, and now I'm going to one hundred

0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:05.600
<v Speaker 2>and and so it was like a song about a race,

0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:07.280
<v Speaker 2>but the song it was not a real it was

0:22:07.440 --> 0:22:08.879
<v Speaker 2>it was like a novelty song, but it was a

0:22:09.000 --> 0:22:11.800
<v Speaker 2>hit really and it was Yeah, so all these songs.

0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:14.040
<v Speaker 2>So he would play all these kind of weird songs

0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:16.719
<v Speaker 2>like that and very it was very more seventies than

0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:19.080
<v Speaker 2>anything else. But I would listen to that Sunday nights

0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:22.520
<v Speaker 2>and and and just try to record all these funny

0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:25.320
<v Speaker 2>songs and then see if I can start writing them myself.

0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:27.800
<v Speaker 1>See you write them down and perform the school.

0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:29.880
<v Speaker 2>The first song, my first parody song I ever wrote,

0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:33.119
<v Speaker 2>was awful, but it was what's your what's your defto?

0:22:33.320 --> 0:22:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Money?

0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:37.879
<v Speaker 2>This is bad? Do you remember King Kong Bundy was

0:22:37.960 --> 0:22:41.879
<v Speaker 2>a rapper. I was a wrestler, so I did. I

0:22:42.240 --> 0:22:45.040
<v Speaker 2>wish it was King Kong Bundy instead of Manic Monday,

0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Like I wish I was King Kong Bundy. That would

0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:53.680
<v Speaker 2>be a fun or whatever. And it was like it

0:22:53.800 --> 0:22:56.600
<v Speaker 2>was awful. And I remember writing it like and I

0:22:56.720 --> 0:23:01.240
<v Speaker 2>had my eraser, my papermate, eraser mate, and like rewriting

0:23:01.280 --> 0:23:02.800
<v Speaker 2>the lyrics. I was like, oh my gosh, I'm writing

0:23:02.920 --> 0:23:05.320
<v Speaker 2>like I'm gonna be weird out and that's what I

0:23:05.640 --> 0:23:07.480
<v Speaker 2>and I remember writing it was just I thought it

0:23:07.560 --> 0:23:10.040
<v Speaker 2>was so clever and fun. Then I was too embarrassed.

0:23:10.040 --> 0:23:10.959
<v Speaker 2>Couldn't play for anybody.

0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:12.240
<v Speaker 1>What year weird out?

0:23:12.280 --> 0:23:16.159
<v Speaker 2>Did you see? What period is the there to be

0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:19.359
<v Speaker 2>Stupid tour? I had a teal concert tee, no sleeve

0:23:19.520 --> 0:23:22.440
<v Speaker 2>concert tea, That's what That's what I bought. What was

0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:25.480
<v Speaker 2>I doing? I just I wanted to be you know,

0:23:25.720 --> 0:23:28.040
<v Speaker 2>this is pre Zach Morris, but I was like I

0:23:28.760 --> 0:23:32.000
<v Speaker 2>would have that or gosh, my wardrobe. I was trying

0:23:32.000 --> 0:23:34.160
<v Speaker 2>to be as fashionable as I could as a kid.

0:23:34.320 --> 0:23:36.280
<v Speaker 2>And you know, growing up in Sorrtyes, New York, was

0:23:36.560 --> 0:23:41.360
<v Speaker 2>this you and going to this concert? Or Drew was there?

0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:43.960
<v Speaker 2>He was, but he was not. No, he wasn't. He

0:23:44.040 --> 0:23:46.439
<v Speaker 2>wasn't my best friend yet. Okay, but now Gerroori he's

0:23:46.440 --> 0:23:48.919
<v Speaker 2>talking about Gerard Bradford who our show as a producer.

0:23:48.960 --> 0:23:53.560
<v Speaker 2>And but I we started hanging out more, I'd say

0:23:53.600 --> 0:23:55.680
<v Speaker 2>probably end of high school when we're getting into the

0:23:55.680 --> 0:23:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Beastie Boys and started like we had a bad We

0:23:58.520 --> 0:24:00.359
<v Speaker 2>had a fake rap group that was terrible. What was

0:24:00.359 --> 0:24:03.160
<v Speaker 2>the name of the group? We were called the minute

0:24:03.200 --> 0:24:06.440
<v Speaker 2>Man and I don't know why, and we not even

0:24:06.480 --> 0:24:08.399
<v Speaker 2>knowing there already was a punk band called the minute Man.

0:24:08.800 --> 0:24:11.840
<v Speaker 2>We were we just thought and I can't even tell

0:24:11.840 --> 0:24:16.520
<v Speaker 2>you it's honestly, it's is worse than uh death money, dude.

0:24:16.600 --> 0:24:23.440
<v Speaker 2>My name was Jim Hat and the room is explosive there.

0:24:24.119 --> 0:24:26.760
<v Speaker 2>I was like Jim Hat with that B Boys style,

0:24:30.240 --> 0:24:35.480
<v Speaker 2>wild dude, it was awful. I thought, Jim Hat, I know,

0:24:36.440 --> 0:24:39.440
<v Speaker 2>like that makes logical sense. I wouldn't have wanted to

0:24:39.480 --> 0:24:41.359
<v Speaker 2>be Colgate. I thought that would be a cool rap name.

0:24:41.720 --> 0:24:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Colgate.

0:24:42.359 --> 0:24:44.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Like I thought people could have the logo on

0:24:44.880 --> 0:24:46.119
<v Speaker 2>the shirt, like the toothpaste.

0:24:46.720 --> 0:24:49.840
<v Speaker 1>And they still make Colgate half Colgate still.

0:24:50.520 --> 0:24:51.159
<v Speaker 2>I don't you know.

0:24:51.280 --> 0:24:53.520
<v Speaker 1>One day, like whenever I land in La X, the

0:24:53.560 --> 0:24:55.680
<v Speaker 1>first time I make is that I go to pharmacy

0:24:55.760 --> 0:24:57.760
<v Speaker 1>to do the trial size stuff like the things I

0:24:57.840 --> 0:25:00.320
<v Speaker 1>need toothbrush, toothpage, and I was just noticed and like

0:25:01.080 --> 0:25:05.080
<v Speaker 1>brands that only exist there. Well, no, well, brands that

0:25:05.200 --> 0:25:08.520

0:25:10.640 --> 0:25:14.800
<v Speaker 1>like they trail like seventies brands.

0:25:15.960 --> 0:25:20.480

0:26:47.840 --> 0:26:50.320
<v Speaker 1>fifteen all together for under the low low price of

0:26:50.440 --> 0:26:53.920

0:26:54.119 --> 0:26:59.320
<v Speaker 1>club in which every month they would send you product

0:26:59.520 --> 0:27:01.600
<v Speaker 1>and you had, yeah, like two.

0:27:01.440 --> 0:27:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Weeks to mail it, not even yeah something like that. Yeah,

0:27:04.359 --> 0:27:05.720
<v Speaker 2>you either liked it or mail it back. If you

0:27:05.840 --> 0:27:07.640
<v Speaker 2>kept it, it was like twenty bucks a record.

0:27:07.720 --> 0:27:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, if you kept it, it was definitely like seventeen

0:27:10.240 --> 0:27:12.760
<v Speaker 1>ninety nine or something like that. But if you mailed

0:27:12.800 --> 0:27:18.720
<v Speaker 1>it back, and I think between that and the first

0:27:20.640 --> 0:27:23.840
<v Speaker 1>two years of trying to catch Michael Jackson videos on

0:27:24.040 --> 0:27:30.040
<v Speaker 1>MTV was how I developed my vocabulary for pop music

0:27:30.119 --> 0:27:33.680
<v Speaker 1>because I would never mail back Debbie Gibson's Out of

0:27:33.720 --> 0:27:34.879
<v Speaker 1>the Blue or.

0:27:37.560 --> 0:27:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Or Timpany's first record. I think I got tricked into

0:27:40.359 --> 0:27:42.920
<v Speaker 2>that one toil. Yeah, I know you know what.

0:27:43.040 --> 0:27:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I think she thinks I'm being sarcastic, like I'm cool

0:27:46.040 --> 0:27:49.720
<v Speaker 1>with her now, But in the beginning, I think in

0:27:49.800 --> 0:27:53.000
<v Speaker 1>her mind it was like, what you're trying to told me?

0:27:53.160 --> 0:27:55.240
<v Speaker 1>What you're saying that? Yeah, my first I was like, yeah,

0:27:55.440 --> 0:27:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I had Out of the Blue Eyed, Electric Youth, Electric Youth.

0:27:58.760 --> 0:28:02.280
<v Speaker 2>I was like they were a first War right. I

0:28:02.359 --> 0:28:03.359
<v Speaker 2>was like, no, I really was.

0:28:03.440 --> 0:28:04.760
<v Speaker 1>I was a fan of yours, and she was just

0:28:04.840 --> 0:28:09.080
<v Speaker 1>looking like, Okay, where's where's the Where's ash? Yeah? Right,

0:28:09.240 --> 0:28:11.560
<v Speaker 1>she's cool though she didn't believe. She didn't believe it

0:28:11.600 --> 0:28:13.840
<v Speaker 1>for the longest, but then I think she realized, like,

0:28:13.920 --> 0:28:14.320
<v Speaker 1>oh you are.

0:28:14.520 --> 0:28:17.040
<v Speaker 2>But every album back then I loved it, even if

0:28:17.440 --> 0:28:19.639
<v Speaker 2>he had like one hit song on there. I remember

0:28:19.720 --> 0:28:21.680
<v Speaker 2>I was trying to I didn't know what music I

0:28:21.840 --> 0:28:24.320
<v Speaker 2>was going to be into, right, so I tried every

0:28:24.920 --> 0:28:27.800
<v Speaker 2>type of genre and like, oh, maybe I'm in the metal,

0:28:28.200 --> 0:28:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Is it really? Yeah? I was like, dude, maybe I

0:28:31.480 --> 0:28:34.840
<v Speaker 2>should like worship with the Devil, and like, what am

0:28:34.840 --> 0:28:36.760
<v Speaker 2>I talking about? I'm an altar boy.

0:28:36.960 --> 0:28:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I think it's I think the weird thing is that

0:28:39.560 --> 0:28:46.960
<v Speaker 1>I think between twelve and seventeen, you're open to anything,

0:28:47.680 --> 0:28:51.000
<v Speaker 1>which you know I can't like. Now I really have

0:28:51.120 --> 0:28:54.960
<v Speaker 1>the patience to like sift through records and see what

0:28:55.040 --> 0:28:56.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm into, and the way that I used to do

0:28:56.800 --> 0:28:59.080
<v Speaker 1>back in the day, Like I would listen to an

0:28:59.320 --> 0:29:01.800
<v Speaker 1>entire Mina Me sal Machine record, whether I like the

0:29:01.880 --> 0:29:03.960
<v Speaker 1>song or not too, because you didn't want to go

0:29:04.040 --> 0:29:05.640
<v Speaker 1>up to the cassette and fast forward. Okay, I don't

0:29:05.640 --> 0:29:06.880
<v Speaker 1>like this song, What's what else is it?

0:29:07.080 --> 0:29:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Like? You would just play the whole thing? Yeah, exactly, Like, yeah,

0:29:09.960 --> 0:29:12.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to. It's easier to lift the needle

0:29:12.600 --> 0:29:14.360
<v Speaker 2>to move that back, but no, I would listen to

0:29:14.400 --> 0:29:16.840
<v Speaker 2>the whole album. Then I'd like the B sides. I

0:29:16.880 --> 0:29:19.640
<v Speaker 2>would know what song follows what song too, in order.

0:29:20.000 --> 0:29:22.840
<v Speaker 1>See. That explains why sometimes when an artist comes on

0:29:23.840 --> 0:29:26.480
<v Speaker 1>and then you ask for the deep cut and I'm like,

0:29:26.600 --> 0:29:29.520
<v Speaker 1>wait a minute, what what about the hit the hit joint?

0:29:29.600 --> 0:29:32.280
<v Speaker 2>And you like, Nope, I want the Yeah, that's the

0:29:32.400 --> 0:29:34.440
<v Speaker 2>secret one that you go like, oh, like like if

0:29:34.480 --> 0:29:36.960
<v Speaker 2>you buy Cyndi Lauper, you just sing she Bop, you know,

0:29:37.040 --> 0:29:39.600
<v Speaker 2>it's like that's the that's the secret song off of

0:29:40.480 --> 0:29:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Right the Girl.

0:29:43.960 --> 0:29:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Right Right? Do you have a top five like performances

0:29:48.400 --> 0:29:50.000
<v Speaker 1>on the show for us?

0:29:50.120 --> 0:29:52.280
<v Speaker 2>God, there's so much now we've been done. We've done

0:29:52.320 --> 0:29:53.560
<v Speaker 2>so many shows now, it's crazy.

0:29:53.600 --> 0:29:55.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean you, I have a top five, I have

0:29:55.920 --> 0:29:58.920
<v Speaker 1>a top five of me performing and a top five

0:29:59.000 --> 0:29:59.720
<v Speaker 1>of me watching.

0:30:01.000 --> 0:30:05.840
<v Speaker 2>Was one of your top five recently? Dog Dude Miller?

0:30:06.040 --> 0:30:10.360
<v Speaker 1>I almost sometimes It's it's hard not to because I'm

0:30:10.400 --> 0:30:14.320
<v Speaker 1>so connected to music and the memories that it brings on.

0:30:14.640 --> 0:30:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Because whenever I hear fly like an Eagle, I instantly

0:30:17.760 --> 0:30:21.800
<v Speaker 1>think about the first month of school, and I'm thinking

0:30:21.880 --> 0:30:26.040
<v Speaker 1>of like my parents not conning me, like Okay, we're

0:30:26.040 --> 0:30:28.240
<v Speaker 1>going to take you to this brown building and you're

0:30:28.280 --> 0:30:30.440
<v Speaker 1>going to stay in here for the next seven hours

0:30:30.560 --> 0:30:32.440
<v Speaker 1>and then we're gonna come and get you at three o'clock.

0:30:32.520 --> 0:30:34.920
<v Speaker 1>And you know, like I was just never explaining the

0:30:34.960 --> 0:30:36.960
<v Speaker 1>concept at school. It was just like, huh wait, I'm

0:30:37.040 --> 0:30:40.400
<v Speaker 1>playing with them, and so I think during like one

0:30:40.440 --> 0:30:44.800
<v Speaker 1>of those explanations, it was the radio was just playing

0:30:44.880 --> 0:30:48.440
<v Speaker 1>like Billy Davis and Marilyn mccoo's you Don't Have to be.

0:30:48.480 --> 0:30:53.120
<v Speaker 2>A Star, and then like you I am radio at

0:30:53.160 --> 0:30:55.520
<v Speaker 2>this point, FM you know what?

0:30:55.840 --> 0:31:00.720
<v Speaker 1>So Philly, Philly was really good with Fmrie On the

0:31:00.760 --> 0:31:07.400
<v Speaker 1>weekends though, FM radio turned religious and then you'd have

0:31:07.480 --> 0:31:09.840
<v Speaker 1>to live and listen to AM radio, so we'd have

0:31:09.880 --> 0:31:12.360
<v Speaker 1>to switch a wizard one hundred. And the thing is

0:31:12.480 --> 0:31:15.440
<v Speaker 1>is that I lived in a don't touch my stereo household,

0:31:16.520 --> 0:31:20.160
<v Speaker 1>So again a big part of my palette is the

0:31:20.280 --> 0:31:22.640
<v Speaker 1>fact that I had to listen to what my sister

0:31:22.720 --> 0:31:24.760
<v Speaker 1>wanted to listen to and what my dad. I didn't

0:31:24.760 --> 0:31:28.520
<v Speaker 1>control the car radio nor in my bet you know

0:31:28.640 --> 0:31:31.880
<v Speaker 1>the room that my sister and I shared, so like

0:31:32.080 --> 0:31:32.840
<v Speaker 1>I just remember, like.

0:31:33.560 --> 0:31:36.560
<v Speaker 2>I remember pressing, like being able to press the button

0:31:36.600 --> 0:31:39.440
<v Speaker 2>to my dad's car that would it would be a plastic,

0:31:39.520 --> 0:31:42.720
<v Speaker 2>hard plastic button that you would actually switch the station.

0:31:42.840 --> 0:31:47.680
<v Speaker 2>You would see the zip to the one side right

0:31:47.840 --> 0:31:50.640
<v Speaker 2>and I actually tuned. I mean this is pre digital

0:31:51.200 --> 0:31:53.720
<v Speaker 2>scan and seek for something. It was actually press the

0:31:53.760 --> 0:31:56.880
<v Speaker 2>button and you would feel like gears moving to the

0:31:57.000 --> 0:31:59.560
<v Speaker 2>radio station that you want to yeah, and I was like, oh,

0:31:59.800 --> 0:32:01.720
<v Speaker 2>I just to hope to hear like the Rolling Stones

0:32:01.760 --> 0:32:04.480
<v Speaker 2>or something like that. And yeah, so fly like an eagle.

0:32:04.840 --> 0:32:07.840
<v Speaker 2>It was definitely, dude, you crust that one. And I

0:32:07.960 --> 0:32:10.040
<v Speaker 2>was like, dude, I actually had to look over to

0:32:10.120 --> 0:32:12.160
<v Speaker 2>see what your face was doing because usually I can't

0:32:12.160 --> 0:32:12.800
<v Speaker 2>see the drummer.

0:32:12.880 --> 0:32:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I was doing every I had two moments in which

0:32:16.120 --> 0:32:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I kind of had a I might cry moment.

0:32:19.280 --> 0:32:21.640
<v Speaker 2>It was awesome, dude. It was honestly, it just clicked,

0:32:21.720 --> 0:32:23.120
<v Speaker 2>like because you did the first like.

0:32:23.520 --> 0:32:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, in the space. I had to beg for those

0:32:26.640 --> 0:32:29.080
<v Speaker 1>extra because at first they were like three minutes and

0:32:29.120 --> 0:32:31.920
<v Speaker 1>thirty seconds, you know, and I'm like, wait a minute, guys,

0:32:32.040 --> 0:32:33.640
<v Speaker 1>not for this one. You don't understand, like the most

0:32:33.640 --> 0:32:36.880
<v Speaker 1>important part of the song is like the beginning. We

0:32:37.160 --> 0:32:37.640
<v Speaker 1>gotta do that.

0:32:37.800 --> 0:32:42.800
<v Speaker 2>So you did didn't did out, So it was so yeah,

0:32:43.360 --> 0:32:45.920
<v Speaker 2>I didn't want to end. And he was having fun. Yeah,

0:32:46.000 --> 0:32:48.000
<v Speaker 2>and he was having and he was so look at it,

0:32:48.040 --> 0:32:50.240
<v Speaker 2>because you know, we have these guys on that like

0:32:50.480 --> 0:32:52.280
<v Speaker 2>they don't play with anyone else but their band, and

0:32:52.320 --> 0:32:55.160
<v Speaker 2>they're jaded and they're like, oh well look, it's almost

0:32:55.160 --> 0:32:56.959
<v Speaker 2>feel like they're cheating on their band, but then when

0:32:57.000 --> 0:32:58.800
<v Speaker 2>they see how much love and how much work you

0:32:58.840 --> 0:33:02.280
<v Speaker 2>guys put into that song, like Eddie Grant, Oh.

0:33:02.760 --> 0:33:03.200
<v Speaker 1>I forgot.

0:33:03.280 --> 0:33:06.360
<v Speaker 2>He was so nervous. I know, he was so nervous,

0:33:06.440 --> 0:33:08.800
<v Speaker 2>like Jimmy I, I I don't I only play with

0:33:08.880 --> 0:33:11.600
<v Speaker 2>my band. I I'm these guys are great, but I

0:33:11.640 --> 0:33:13.560
<v Speaker 2>don't know them. And you know, to play with my song,

0:33:13.960 --> 0:33:16.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, electric Avenue, And so he goes, do you

0:33:16.840 --> 0:33:18.000
<v Speaker 2>remember you brought a harmonica?

0:33:18.680 --> 0:33:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Yes? Oh?

0:33:19.880 --> 0:33:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Did you wait?

0:33:21.240 --> 0:33:25.280
<v Speaker 1>When we're sound checking? Are you watching on close times?

0:33:25.320 --> 0:33:26.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm watching, damn it.

0:33:26.680 --> 0:33:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes I am, but sometimes I'd like to be surprised.

0:33:29.520 --> 0:33:31.480
<v Speaker 1>But we're doing sound check. It was like a ten

0:33:31.520 --> 0:33:33.280
<v Speaker 1>minute version and we're like looking at each other while

0:33:33.280 --> 0:33:33.440
<v Speaker 1>I was.

0:33:33.440 --> 0:33:36.680
<v Speaker 2>Like, paying harmonica do electric Avenue? Like who is to blaming?

0:33:38.560 --> 0:33:41.920
<v Speaker 2>I like, dude, stop. But so I saw him and

0:33:42.080 --> 0:33:44.680
<v Speaker 2>he goes, yeah, I'm just gonna bring this just in case.

0:33:44.720 --> 0:33:47.040
<v Speaker 2>I go, Eddie, you don't need a harmonica. The roots

0:33:47.040 --> 0:33:50.000
<v Speaker 2>will got you covered. Trust me, man, it's gonna me fun.

0:33:50.360 --> 0:33:53.360
<v Speaker 2>And he did the song, didn't do harmonica, and he crushed.

0:33:53.400 --> 0:33:55.760
<v Speaker 2>It was great, And I went over to say thank

0:33:55.840 --> 0:33:57.080
<v Speaker 2>you for being on the show and want to shake

0:33:57.120 --> 0:34:01.320
<v Speaker 2>his hand and what was in his hand harmonica? Yeah,

0:34:01.480 --> 0:34:02.080
<v Speaker 2>that's the case.

0:34:02.880 --> 0:34:03.120
<v Speaker 1>You know what.

0:34:03.680 --> 0:34:05.960
<v Speaker 2>It's also like a big part.

0:34:06.920 --> 0:34:09.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm always nervous about the legend because one you don't

0:34:09.800 --> 0:34:12.080
<v Speaker 1>want to ruin like the thought in your head of like, uh,

0:34:12.520 --> 0:34:14.160
<v Speaker 1>what's it gonna be or what's it not going to be?

0:34:14.840 --> 0:34:19.919
<v Speaker 1>It's just that sometimes all right, I met we had

0:34:20.120 --> 0:34:26.000
<v Speaker 1>one guess that walked away, do you remember, Yeah, Cinthy yea,

0:34:27.320 --> 0:34:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Just because I think, okay, in our minds, in their minds,

0:34:33.239 --> 0:34:36.239
<v Speaker 1>it's like, okay, I'm gonna play with the roots. So

0:34:36.400 --> 0:34:38.640
<v Speaker 1>they think like I'll take my song and filter it

0:34:39.520 --> 0:34:42.560
<v Speaker 1>through and I'll rutify it. Like that's the one word

0:34:42.840 --> 0:34:45.480
<v Speaker 1>we hear the most inside the rehearsal room, like you know,

0:34:45.600 --> 0:34:49.040
<v Speaker 1>don't don't do the normal version, like rutify it. And

0:34:49.160 --> 0:34:51.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, dude, what you don't get is that us

0:34:51.640 --> 0:34:54.640
<v Speaker 1>rutifying it is doing it just like your album version.

0:34:54.760 --> 0:34:57.520
<v Speaker 2>That is roots fact, because we want the yeah, I mean,

0:34:57.560 --> 0:34:59.759
<v Speaker 2>we want the exact sound. We want Eddie Grant to

0:34:59.800 --> 0:35:03.759
<v Speaker 2>go out in the streets if he if he yeah,

0:35:03.800 --> 0:35:05.040
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't want to do that. Anymore. He goes, I

0:35:05.040 --> 0:35:06.399
<v Speaker 2>don't do that. I haven't done that for twenty five

0:35:06.480 --> 0:35:06.839
<v Speaker 2>years ago.

0:35:06.920 --> 0:35:07.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, bring it back.

0:35:08.760 --> 0:35:10.520
<v Speaker 2>That's the part of the song that we love, those

0:35:10.520 --> 0:35:14.239
<v Speaker 2>little nuggets, those little awesome little eggs, those easter eggs

0:35:14.239 --> 0:35:16.000
<v Speaker 2>where you're like, oh no, that's the one part you

0:35:16.040 --> 0:35:18.959
<v Speaker 2>gotta do, like right, like on the dock side of town,

0:35:19.120 --> 0:35:21.400
<v Speaker 2>yeah or something. You didn't do that, and he was like, uh,

0:35:22.040 --> 0:35:23.880
<v Speaker 2>like when we have it, was it crowded house or

0:35:23.920 --> 0:35:25.400
<v Speaker 2>something came on. I'm like, all I want to hear

0:35:25.480 --> 0:35:29.160
<v Speaker 2>is that base I go Boodoo do doo. That was

0:35:29.239 --> 0:35:31.440
<v Speaker 2>freedom a little bit. If you don't hit that baseline,

0:35:31.760 --> 0:35:34.320
<v Speaker 2>and that's just ruin. I need that. It's part of

0:35:34.440 --> 0:35:37.040
<v Speaker 2>my whole thing of loving that song. It's like, but

0:35:37.200 --> 0:35:40.200
<v Speaker 2>we usually hit it like ninety nine percent of the time, right.

0:35:40.280 --> 0:35:42.320
<v Speaker 2>We convinced the people tore like, come on, you gotta

0:35:42.360 --> 0:35:44.000
<v Speaker 2>do that part and like, oh, I don't hit that

0:35:44.080 --> 0:35:46.400
<v Speaker 2>note anymore. It's like, yeah, but try it. Just go

0:35:46.560 --> 0:35:48.279
<v Speaker 2>for it because trust me, we'll get your back. And

0:35:48.320 --> 0:35:49.680
<v Speaker 2>then they do it in the scores.

0:35:50.280 --> 0:35:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, probably the one humorous movement for us was definitely

0:35:54.760 --> 0:35:58.799
<v Speaker 1>in the Air Tonight, where that was the only time

0:35:58.840 --> 0:36:02.360
<v Speaker 1>I saw you being nervous, dude, twice twice in my life.

0:36:02.520 --> 0:36:05.239
<v Speaker 1>But I've talked myself into major sabotage.

0:36:06.080 --> 0:36:06.279
<v Speaker 2>I was.

0:36:06.400 --> 0:36:08.520
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't helping them like I well see, I didn't

0:36:08.560 --> 0:36:10.440
<v Speaker 1>know about meditation back then. What I should have been

0:36:10.480 --> 0:36:13.359
<v Speaker 1>doing was basically deep breathing. Get out of your head.

0:36:13.880 --> 0:36:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Just hit these three times the way you've always done

0:36:16.080 --> 0:36:16.719
<v Speaker 1>it all your life.

0:36:16.760 --> 0:36:17.360
<v Speaker 2>In the basement.

0:36:18.120 --> 0:36:22.800
<v Speaker 1>And for some reason, right when Phil Collins is like

0:36:23.040 --> 0:36:25.480
<v Speaker 1>and I remember, and I was like, don't mess up,

0:36:25.480 --> 0:36:25.920
<v Speaker 1>don't mess it.

0:36:26.160 --> 0:36:28.520
<v Speaker 2>I remember, don't worry all right, don't fuck up, don't

0:36:28.520 --> 0:36:30.200
<v Speaker 2>fuck it? How good I ever.

0:36:30.280 --> 0:36:32.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at Jimmy. Jimmy's looking left.

0:36:32.960 --> 0:36:34.440
<v Speaker 2>I went from behind my desk to the front to

0:36:34.600 --> 0:36:38.440
<v Speaker 2>look at your face. I know, love it. And I'm

0:36:38.480 --> 0:36:40.520
<v Speaker 2>looking at the band standard for the roots members and

0:36:40.520 --> 0:36:41.360
<v Speaker 2>I says.

0:36:41.480 --> 0:36:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Silence up, oh boy, no using fool me, oh dann

0:36:45.120 --> 0:36:46.120
<v Speaker 1>cameras he's looking at me.

0:36:46.280 --> 0:36:48.040
<v Speaker 2>The heart doesn't so you're looking at it.

0:36:48.200 --> 0:36:52.760
<v Speaker 1>The pain still grows sustainious dudems.

0:36:52.920 --> 0:36:57.400
<v Speaker 2>And I hit that symbol and was just drop a

0:36:57.480 --> 0:37:03.160
<v Speaker 2>stick or something. No, my my my ride symbol. Oh yeah,

0:37:03.200 --> 0:37:11.360
<v Speaker 2>I fell fell down dude. It was the fell I

0:37:11.440 --> 0:37:12.160
<v Speaker 2>broke in pieces.

0:37:12.280 --> 0:37:14.320
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna let it slide and just be like

0:37:14.680 --> 0:37:17.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm going home. I failed and then shout out to

0:37:17.560 --> 0:37:21.239
<v Speaker 1>Sugar Steve. Steve's like, no, man, I can't let this happen.

0:37:21.560 --> 0:37:23.520
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna fix this. And I was like, well, we

0:37:23.600 --> 0:37:25.480
<v Speaker 1>can't go back and tape it like it's over, and

0:37:25.600 --> 0:37:28.200
<v Speaker 1>he says, I bet you. They have sound check on tape.

0:37:28.239 --> 0:37:29.520
<v Speaker 1>So we basically.

0:37:30.680 --> 0:37:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Spent at least an hours editing. Oh god, you remember

0:37:36.760 --> 0:37:39.000
<v Speaker 2>that he was here. He was there to five in

0:37:39.040 --> 0:37:39.359
<v Speaker 2>the board.

0:37:39.920 --> 0:37:43.320
<v Speaker 1>We're the only show that gives that autonomy, like gives

0:37:43.400 --> 0:37:45.920
<v Speaker 1>that power to guests to come and edit their own

0:37:45.960 --> 0:37:48.960
<v Speaker 1>thing and mix their own thing. Any other show like

0:37:49.200 --> 0:37:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I've done Letterman. But I'm like, okay, so we want

0:37:51.680 --> 0:37:53.160
<v Speaker 1>reverbal and you know, verse.

0:37:53.040 --> 0:37:56.799
<v Speaker 2>Two and then already and they're like it's already, can't

0:37:56.880 --> 0:37:59.399
<v Speaker 2>touch it right, They're like, no, it's gone.

0:38:00.239 --> 0:38:00.960
<v Speaker 1>It is what it is.

0:38:01.160 --> 0:38:03.320
<v Speaker 2>And we let everyone like go in listen to it

0:38:03.400 --> 0:38:05.120
<v Speaker 2>and mix it. But we usually we have the right

0:38:05.560 --> 0:38:08.600
<v Speaker 2>sound between you know, we we have the best sound.

0:38:08.680 --> 0:38:11.480
<v Speaker 1>I feel like we have the best sound mixing and engineering.

0:38:12.120 --> 0:38:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that al Simon stayed up until right before his segment,

0:38:16.239 --> 0:38:17.640
<v Speaker 1>which is unheard of. Right.

0:38:17.960 --> 0:38:20.120
<v Speaker 2>We were nervous because we got to deliver the show.

0:38:20.200 --> 0:38:22.319
<v Speaker 2>And this is when we were doing twelve thirty five, right,

0:38:22.480 --> 0:38:23.960
<v Speaker 2>so we had an extra hour. But it was like

0:38:24.480 --> 0:38:27.360
<v Speaker 2>I think it was up to like it was actually

0:38:27.480 --> 0:38:28.560
<v Speaker 2>up to midnight.

0:38:28.960 --> 0:38:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Right, it was ripe two commercials before you were actually

0:38:32.320 --> 0:38:32.839
<v Speaker 1>covering more.

0:38:32.960 --> 0:38:37.319
<v Speaker 2>So he spent we take that five or six, right,

0:38:37.400 --> 0:38:39.359
<v Speaker 2>and he engineered it like it was a real song

0:38:39.600 --> 0:38:42.680
<v Speaker 2>for five hours. It must be the best engineered song

0:38:42.760 --> 0:38:45.160
<v Speaker 2>of all time. I don't even I kind of remember

0:38:45.200 --> 0:38:46.920
<v Speaker 2>what it was that wasn't the one with stomp was it?

0:38:47.560 --> 0:38:51.160
<v Speaker 2>We don't even remember. That's the thing. It's just now

0:38:51.160 --> 0:38:52.880
<v Speaker 2>I got to go back in the archives and he

0:38:52.960 --> 0:38:55.080
<v Speaker 2>really spent the time in that one. But but then

0:38:55.400 --> 0:38:57.160
<v Speaker 2>back to the Phil Collins thing, because you ended up

0:38:57.239 --> 0:38:59.399
<v Speaker 2>nailing it on when you see it on TV, because

0:38:59.719 --> 0:39:01.000
<v Speaker 2>all a pack a lot.

0:39:05.000 --> 0:39:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that that to me, that that was a moment.

0:39:08.920 --> 0:39:10.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I love that. I love Jim James. I

0:39:11.040 --> 0:39:12.799
<v Speaker 2>was from Late Night. I love that. That's right.

0:39:12.960 --> 0:39:15.399
<v Speaker 1>He did another life with all of his presentations.

0:39:15.520 --> 0:39:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Whenever Jim James comes on. I also liked when you

0:39:19.040 --> 0:39:21.279
<v Speaker 2>guys come when the roots come on, and we spend

0:39:21.360 --> 0:39:24.960
<v Speaker 2>extra time like making a production and it's actually it's

0:39:24.960 --> 0:39:26.320
<v Speaker 2>almost like a music video.

0:39:26.880 --> 0:39:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Or musical musical. Yeah, my three moments from that. I

0:39:30.760 --> 0:39:34.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know why. Once I realized that we had a

0:39:34.080 --> 0:39:37.960
<v Speaker 1>lot of I didn't realize the power of how Dave

0:39:38.080 --> 0:39:40.320
<v Speaker 1>is as as a director Dave de Meti and and

0:39:41.160 --> 0:39:45.040
<v Speaker 1>and directing and doing tricks and all those things. So

0:39:45.120 --> 0:39:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I thought, like, I wonder how we could pull off

0:39:48.719 --> 0:39:50.960
<v Speaker 1>a song that makes us look like we're playing in

0:39:51.040 --> 0:39:54.279
<v Speaker 1>slow motion like the Beastie Boys always do. Like so

0:39:54.400 --> 0:39:57.080
<v Speaker 1>what you want video was like the ipetus of it,

0:39:57.239 --> 0:40:01.239
<v Speaker 1>like of them performing in you're hearing the song in

0:40:01.320 --> 0:40:03.399
<v Speaker 1>real time, but it's like them doing it slow motion.

0:40:03.680 --> 0:40:07.080
<v Speaker 1>So when Usher was on the show, yep, you know,

0:40:07.120 --> 0:40:08.920
<v Speaker 1>I knew it was going to confuse the audience, like

0:40:09.000 --> 0:40:11.799
<v Speaker 1>we had to do that Usher song like chipmunks.

0:40:11.920 --> 0:40:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Dude, it was like.

0:40:13.920 --> 0:40:16.480
<v Speaker 1>And he's dancing really super fast and he caught and

0:40:16.600 --> 0:40:18.800
<v Speaker 1>he caught like he was dancing, And really that's the

0:40:18.880 --> 0:40:20.920
<v Speaker 1>thing I thought, like do you need to practice this?

0:40:21.120 --> 0:40:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Like do you need to figure out your splits and everything?

0:40:23.920 --> 0:40:26.439
<v Speaker 2>It looks so weird and so you're almost laughing at.

0:40:26.360 --> 0:40:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Him, right, but then when you watch it, it was, oh, it's.

0:40:30.000 --> 0:40:32.319
<v Speaker 2>Magical, dude. He's like slow motion doing the perfect dance

0:40:32.400 --> 0:40:34.319
<v Speaker 2>moves and singing on the you know, on the ring

0:40:34.560 --> 0:40:37.840
<v Speaker 2>exactly right. Yeah, it was insane. That was That was

0:40:37.880 --> 0:40:38.439
<v Speaker 2>a cool moment.

0:40:38.560 --> 0:40:41.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. The second time, Tyler, Tyler, they created To See

0:40:41.800 --> 0:40:45.680
<v Speaker 1>You Again with Caliuchis and he created Yeah, this it

0:40:45.760 --> 0:40:49.880
<v Speaker 1>was almost like a surreal musical. But it's it's to me,

0:40:50.320 --> 0:40:55.239
<v Speaker 1>that was like a moment, dude. Get we have to

0:40:55.400 --> 0:40:56.200
<v Speaker 1>talk about Prince.

0:40:57.040 --> 0:41:00.680
<v Speaker 2>There's there's two films, there's so many.

0:41:02.000 --> 0:41:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. For me, the best part of the craziest memory

0:41:07.719 --> 0:41:09.600
<v Speaker 1>is definitely the Ping.

0:41:09.560 --> 0:41:12.759
<v Speaker 2>Pong with the pea pong story. But even goes on

0:41:12.880 --> 0:41:16.440
<v Speaker 2>before that. Do you remember bring me on stage at

0:41:16.560 --> 0:41:19.600
<v Speaker 2>the garden, Oh, Madison Square Garden. So Chris Rock comes

0:41:19.640 --> 0:41:21.520
<v Speaker 2>on and he goes, he goes bah blah blah blah.

0:41:21.560 --> 0:41:23.200
<v Speaker 2>He goes, well, of course Prince is my favorite concert.

0:41:23.280 --> 0:41:26.160
<v Speaker 2>I've never seen him. Go. You've never seen Prince like you.

0:41:26.520 --> 0:41:28.840
<v Speaker 2>You love music and you've never seen Prince in concert?

0:41:29.040 --> 0:41:31.719
<v Speaker 2>What are you talking about? How could you even say that?

0:41:31.760 --> 0:41:33.759
<v Speaker 2>You're a fan of what do you. I can't talk

0:41:33.800 --> 0:41:35.759
<v Speaker 2>to you until you see Prince, all right, And so

0:41:36.200 --> 0:41:37.640
<v Speaker 2>I go, all right, I gotta go see Prince. And

0:41:37.680 --> 0:41:39.680
<v Speaker 2>you're like, dude, I can't believe you. I haven't seen him.

0:41:39.920 --> 0:41:42.160
<v Speaker 2>So anyways, I go to the garden see Prince and

0:41:42.239 --> 0:41:45.759
<v Speaker 2>he is unbelievable. He really is. I remember Madonna was

0:41:45.800 --> 0:41:49.200
<v Speaker 2>at the concerts in the audience watching Prince stoneface, just

0:41:49.280 --> 0:41:51.400
<v Speaker 2>going like wow, I got up my game. He's just

0:41:51.480 --> 0:41:54.440
<v Speaker 2>so magical. And she's great too, Yeah he was. So

0:41:54.920 --> 0:41:58.840
<v Speaker 2>he's crushing it. And Prince's manager or whoever this was,

0:41:58.920 --> 0:42:01.640
<v Speaker 2>came up to me, Yeah, hi, I'm a princess manager.

0:42:01.680 --> 0:42:03.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't even think it was Cairo was someone to say, like,

0:42:04.000 --> 0:42:05.759
<v Speaker 2>Prince would really love you to get on stage at

0:42:05.800 --> 0:42:07.640
<v Speaker 2>the end of the concert and dance with him, like

0:42:07.800 --> 0:42:10.360
<v Speaker 2>he gets a bunch of celebrity friends and to go

0:42:10.400 --> 0:42:12.200
<v Speaker 2>on stage and dancing at the end. I go, that's

0:42:12.239 --> 0:42:13.960
<v Speaker 2>not really my thing. I'm not really a big dancer,

0:42:14.000 --> 0:42:16.439
<v Speaker 2>but thank you. So I'll just watch the concert. Next song,

0:42:16.840 --> 0:42:19.279
<v Speaker 2>someone else comes out like, hy how you doing. I'm

0:42:19.280 --> 0:42:21.439
<v Speaker 2>working for a princess A different person, Yeah, different person.

0:42:21.480 --> 0:42:23.799
<v Speaker 2>I go, Prince would really love for you. I go, yeah,

0:42:23.840 --> 0:42:25.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't think so. I mean, that's not really my thing.

0:42:25.760 --> 0:42:27.360
<v Speaker 2>And I don't even think he really wants me to

0:42:27.440 --> 0:42:29.640
<v Speaker 2>dance with him anyways. So that happens to me maybe

0:42:29.680 --> 0:42:32.320
<v Speaker 2>two more times during the whole concert. End of the concert,

0:42:32.719 --> 0:42:34.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I see you, because I didn't see you

0:42:34.840 --> 0:42:36.520
<v Speaker 2>if the whole concert go what's up dude? You go,

0:42:36.680 --> 0:42:38.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna get on stage at the end of the concert.

0:42:38.280 --> 0:42:40.279
<v Speaker 2>I go, oh, if you're getting up there, I'll go

0:42:40.360 --> 0:42:42.160
<v Speaker 2>up with you then. So they all right, so you

0:42:42.280 --> 0:42:44.879
<v Speaker 2>get up, I get up, you go behind a drum set.

0:42:45.440 --> 0:42:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:42:45.840 --> 0:42:47.839
<v Speaker 2>And as I get up and you get behind drums set,

0:42:47.920 --> 0:42:51.520
<v Speaker 2>Prince leaves. He's keep his he's on a keyboard and

0:42:51.600 --> 0:42:53.680
<v Speaker 2>it goes and sinks into the stage side of the stage,

0:42:53.680 --> 0:42:55.480
<v Speaker 2>and I could see him down there, almost getting in

0:42:55.560 --> 0:42:57.960
<v Speaker 2>his limousine right there, and I'm like, and I'm looking

0:42:57.960 --> 0:43:00.560
<v Speaker 2>around and there's no one else on stage dancing but me. Right,

0:43:00.760 --> 0:43:03.640
<v Speaker 2>it's just me dancing and you're playing. I go, oh my,

0:43:03.920 --> 0:43:05.920
<v Speaker 2>that's exactly why I don't say yes to this stuff.

0:43:06.520 --> 0:43:08.279
<v Speaker 2>So I think it kind of started there. And then

0:43:08.719 --> 0:43:11.120
<v Speaker 2>when Prince came on the show, it was always fun, right.

0:43:11.320 --> 0:43:14.360
<v Speaker 2>So Prince came on the show and is, uh, probably

0:43:14.440 --> 0:43:17.879
<v Speaker 2>is Kiran His manager, Yeah, says hey, Prince would really

0:43:17.960 --> 0:43:21.520
<v Speaker 2>have to play ping pong on the show. So we go, okay,

0:43:21.920 --> 0:43:23.839
<v Speaker 2>we don't really play ping pong. We played beer pong,

0:43:23.920 --> 0:43:25.480
<v Speaker 2>but if he wants to play ping pong, it's fine.

0:43:25.760 --> 0:43:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Then he calls back and he goes, you know what,

0:43:27.280 --> 0:43:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Prince does not want to play beer pong on the show.

0:43:29.040 --> 0:43:31.840
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't want to play ping pong. We go, okay, whatever,

0:43:31.920 --> 0:43:33.680
<v Speaker 2>he just come on play music. As long as he

0:43:33.760 --> 0:43:36.720
<v Speaker 2>has fun, we're good. He calls back. He goes, Prince

0:43:36.760 --> 0:43:39.400
<v Speaker 2>does want to play ping pong. We rethought about it.

0:43:39.600 --> 0:43:41.839
<v Speaker 2>Go okay, we'll have it ready to go just in case.

0:43:42.920 --> 0:43:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Calls back. He goes he doesn't. He wants to play

0:43:45.000 --> 0:43:47.640
<v Speaker 2>ping pong, but he doesn't want to play it on camera.

0:43:48.840 --> 0:43:51.520
<v Speaker 2>He wants to do it, and I go, what's your obsession?

0:43:51.680 --> 0:43:53.560
<v Speaker 2>He goes, he just thinks, Jimmy, be fun to play

0:43:53.640 --> 0:43:55.919
<v Speaker 2>ping pong with. I go, whatever, We'll have it ready

0:43:55.920 --> 0:43:57.960
<v Speaker 2>to go. If he wants to play backstage whatever. Man,

0:43:58.400 --> 0:44:00.279
<v Speaker 2>So he comes down. The show never brings up pong,

0:44:00.360 --> 0:44:02.279
<v Speaker 2>doesn't even mention it all right, it just comes on

0:44:02.360 --> 0:44:05.080
<v Speaker 2>and plays. He's great and he and he leaves and

0:44:05.160 --> 0:44:06.960
<v Speaker 2>it was a great show and it was awesome. I go,

0:44:07.080 --> 0:44:08.880
<v Speaker 2>that was interesting. So I tell the story on the

0:44:08.960 --> 0:44:11.000
<v Speaker 2>show about the whole ping pong thing, and I go,

0:44:11.160 --> 0:44:12.879
<v Speaker 2>by the way, the Prince, if you're watching, I would

0:44:12.920 --> 0:44:15.279
<v Speaker 2>probably kick your ass in ping pong or something like that,

0:44:15.400 --> 0:44:17.920
<v Speaker 2>all right, just joking around. So then I think that

0:44:18.120 --> 0:44:21.400
<v Speaker 2>week I'm at the dinner, right, and so this is

0:44:21.640 --> 0:44:25.400
<v Speaker 2>this is the rare night. No, this is when Winnie oh,

0:44:25.920 --> 0:44:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Whennie was being born. So I get a call.

0:44:30.360 --> 0:44:32.279
<v Speaker 1>It was around that time. I just remember, like it

0:44:32.360 --> 0:44:35.200
<v Speaker 1>was any moment, you know what I mean. And I

0:44:35.320 --> 0:44:39.600
<v Speaker 1>get a call at ten pm. Now I think I

0:44:39.719 --> 0:44:41.160
<v Speaker 1>was sick this night, because this is one of the

0:44:41.280 --> 0:44:44.560
<v Speaker 1>rare times I was in bed at like ten thirty

0:44:44.640 --> 0:44:48.840
<v Speaker 1>pm on a school night or whatever. And they're like,

0:44:50.360 --> 0:44:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Prince wants to play Jimmy now at Susan Sarandon's ping

0:44:53.560 --> 0:44:58.600
<v Speaker 1>pong spot. Yes, Spin Spin, And I was just like, oh, man,

<v Speaker 1>you know he's about to kid da da da dah.

0:45:01.160 --> 0:45:03.120
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I'll let him know.

0:45:04.080 --> 0:45:07.399
<v Speaker 1>And then like a minute later they're like, well he's

0:45:07.560 --> 0:45:11.000
<v Speaker 1>uh you know, he's down to do it right now,

0:45:11.200 --> 0:45:14.319
<v Speaker 1>if you know available. And I was like, oh, maybe

0:45:14.360 --> 0:45:15.880
<v Speaker 1>they didn't get the message. I was like, no, no, no,

0:45:17.680 --> 0:45:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy's about to have a kid, so uh, yeah it

0:45:21.840 --> 0:45:24.560
<v Speaker 1>might you know, it might be busy or whatever. And

0:45:24.680 --> 0:45:27.840
<v Speaker 1>then a minute later he says, okay, well, uh just

0:45:28.239 --> 0:45:30.520
<v Speaker 1>name the time and place and you know he'll be there.

0:45:30.520 --> 0:45:33.120
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, oh, they're just not listening or not

0:45:33.239 --> 0:45:34.280
<v Speaker 1>taking a note for an answer.

0:45:34.440 --> 0:45:34.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:45:35.360 --> 0:45:36.960
<v Speaker 1>So I was like, I'm not going to answer this.

0:45:37.080 --> 0:45:39.520
<v Speaker 1>So I went to bed for like twenty minutes and

0:45:39.640 --> 0:45:42.600
<v Speaker 1>over my eyes and I was like, I don't let

0:45:42.680 --> 0:45:43.800
<v Speaker 1>me at least tell Jimmy.

0:45:44.360 --> 0:45:45.360
<v Speaker 2>So then I texted you.

0:45:45.680 --> 0:45:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I said, hey, uh, Prince wants to play in ping pong.

0:45:48.680 --> 0:45:50.759
<v Speaker 1>So I had no idea of this whole exchange that

0:45:50.880 --> 0:45:53.879
<v Speaker 1>you just went through. I said, for some strange reason,

0:45:53.960 --> 0:45:56.160
<v Speaker 1>he wants to play in ping pong at Susan sarandom

0:45:56.200 --> 0:45:58.600
<v Speaker 1>spot and I told him that you're tied up with

0:45:58.719 --> 0:46:02.560
<v Speaker 1>baby stuff. So anyway, just passing the message along.

0:46:02.719 --> 0:46:02.959
<v Speaker 2>Cool.

0:46:04.120 --> 0:46:05.720
<v Speaker 1>I had no idea that you were going to answer

0:46:05.760 --> 0:46:06.320
<v Speaker 1>that message.

0:46:07.200 --> 0:46:09.200

<v Speaker 1>a blind date, and I wanted to appear cool, to

0:52:18.080 --> 0:52:21.560
<v Speaker 1>be cool, and so I asked this, you know, like,

0:52:23.280 --> 0:52:24.759
<v Speaker 1>I got tickets to Prince, you want to see it?

0:52:25.360 --> 0:52:31.760
<v Speaker 1>And I had ten tickets, and me not thinking I invited,

0:52:32.480 --> 0:52:34.640
<v Speaker 1>I said, oh, I got ten tickets. So I invited

0:52:34.760 --> 0:52:38.960
<v Speaker 1>ten of my friends. I never counted myself as one

0:52:39.000 --> 0:52:41.759
<v Speaker 1>of the ten. So when we get there, I was like,

0:52:41.800 --> 0:52:43.799
<v Speaker 1>here's your ticket, here's your ticket, here's your ticket, here's

0:52:43.800 --> 0:52:44.200
<v Speaker 1>your ticket.

0:52:44.800 --> 0:52:49.440
<v Speaker 2>And I was like nine, oh fuck. So and this

0:52:49.600 --> 0:52:50.560
<v Speaker 2>is beyond sold out.

0:52:51.040 --> 0:52:53.840
<v Speaker 1>So they're in and I had the number of his

0:52:53.960 --> 0:52:58.719
<v Speaker 1>assistant and so I'm like, hey, I'm on a date

0:52:59.200 --> 0:53:02.920
<v Speaker 1>and I forgot to buy myself a ticket. Decided to

0:53:02.960 --> 0:53:06.080
<v Speaker 1>explain the whole thing and She's like, yo, man, like

0:53:06.360 --> 0:53:08.279
<v Speaker 1>no one can get in, like you know everyone else.

0:53:08.280 --> 0:53:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Sharpton was trying to come down. Spike Lee was trying

0:53:10.080 --> 0:53:12.400
<v Speaker 1>to say please, anything else ready in trouble. So he

0:53:13.120 --> 0:53:17.680
<v Speaker 1>just happened to be in his own custom golf cart

0:53:18.640 --> 0:53:21.520
<v Speaker 1>in Philly, doing like forty miles an hour in a

0:53:21.560 --> 0:53:24.800
<v Speaker 1>golf cart, like not doing donuts, but like like that

0:53:24.920 --> 0:53:27.960
<v Speaker 1>sort of thing. And I was just like, oh, just

0:53:27.960 --> 0:53:30.680
<v Speaker 1>tell him straight up. I said, look, I made a

0:53:30.760 --> 0:53:33.080
<v Speaker 1>mistake that da da da. I had ten friends. I

0:53:33.160 --> 0:53:36.480
<v Speaker 1>forgot to include myself in the ten. Can I sit

0:53:36.560 --> 0:53:38.960
<v Speaker 1>somewhere please? And he was just like all right, cool,

0:53:39.200 --> 0:53:41.640
<v Speaker 1>you can sit on the stage under the stage. So

0:53:42.080 --> 0:53:44.239
<v Speaker 1>the way that that stage is designed like his name,

0:53:44.600 --> 0:53:47.440
<v Speaker 1>like it's it's a thirteen foot tall stage, and so

0:53:47.520 --> 0:53:51.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm literally sitting under the arrow that is his name. Meanwhile,

0:53:51.840 --> 0:53:53.960
<v Speaker 1>my dates like sitting with my friends in the audience,

0:53:54.800 --> 0:53:59.160
<v Speaker 1>but I'm sitting like under the stage. And mid show,

0:54:00.000 --> 0:54:02.560
<v Speaker 1>this assistant comes by and says, Prince wants you to

0:54:02.640 --> 0:54:05.640
<v Speaker 1>throw him a party, and I was like, I have

0:54:05.760 --> 0:54:09.719
<v Speaker 1>no resource, like right now. He said yeah, tonight, and

0:54:09.840 --> 0:54:13.440
<v Speaker 1>I was like, well, well I would have to. Yeah,

0:54:13.480 --> 0:54:15.759
<v Speaker 1>you can use our phones. But I'm like, I'm going

0:54:15.840 --> 0:54:18.879
<v Speaker 1>to miss the concert. And now it's like, oh, I'm

0:54:18.920 --> 0:54:21.800
<v Speaker 1>working for Prince now, So I'm like leaving my concert

0:54:21.920 --> 0:54:24.920
<v Speaker 1>going into gotta you gotta throw them a party, right,

0:54:25.040 --> 0:54:27.640
<v Speaker 1>So I called my friends who I normally do parties

0:54:27.680 --> 0:54:31.400
<v Speaker 1>with in Philly. I was like, look, Prince, hang on

0:54:31.480 --> 0:54:37.880
<v Speaker 1>a second. He wants one pool table. Okay, hey, Prince

0:54:38.200 --> 0:54:41.840
<v Speaker 1>wants to do a party tonight. So in like four hours,

0:54:41.880 --> 0:54:44.600
<v Speaker 1>can you find me a spot? They said, we found

0:54:44.640 --> 0:54:46.879
<v Speaker 1>a spot. I said, okay, Now he wants a pool table.

0:54:46.920 --> 0:54:49.080
<v Speaker 1>They're like, well, this is a five story walk up.

0:54:50.480 --> 0:54:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Can't please?

0:54:52.080 --> 0:54:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Can we please just make this happen? Please please? So

0:54:54.640 --> 0:54:58.080
<v Speaker 1>they had to find a detachable pool table to carry

0:54:58.160 --> 0:55:04.719
<v Speaker 1>up five flights to stairs. So then I rush home,

0:55:04.880 --> 0:55:07.800
<v Speaker 1>get my records ready, get there. You know, Prince is

0:55:07.800 --> 0:55:09.640
<v Speaker 1>like a late party. So this party's not starting to

0:55:09.719 --> 0:55:12.480
<v Speaker 1>like one point thirty, and it's ten of us and

0:55:12.880 --> 0:55:15.520
<v Speaker 1>we're inside and basically he wants to control the door,

0:55:16.040 --> 0:55:19.480
<v Speaker 1>and you know, there's a whole group of people waiting outside,

0:55:20.160 --> 0:55:24.200
<v Speaker 1>but they're inside. There's only like seventy people. Club shit

0:55:24.239 --> 0:55:27.480
<v Speaker 1>hold about three hundred. Anyway, so I'm playing like a

0:55:27.520 --> 0:55:31.120
<v Speaker 1>bunch of like fail out, you know, West African funk music.

0:55:31.480 --> 0:55:33.680
<v Speaker 1>And I'm thinking, like, okay, I'm gonna educate Prince on Faialai.

0:55:33.800 --> 0:55:36.120
<v Speaker 1>He likes James Brown, he likes George Clinton, and play

0:55:36.160 --> 0:55:39.560
<v Speaker 1>the original you know, West African guy of funk and

0:55:39.680 --> 0:55:41.640
<v Speaker 1>he'll be into it. And Prince wasn't into it. He

0:55:41.719 --> 0:55:44.480
<v Speaker 1>was just like what else he got? I was like, okay,

0:55:44.560 --> 0:55:47.920
<v Speaker 1>I playing another Faila song? What else he got? I

0:55:47.960 --> 0:55:50.879
<v Speaker 1>was like, damn, He's like, play some of your music

0:55:51.120 --> 0:55:52.560
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, I never played the roots in

0:55:52.600 --> 0:55:54.600
<v Speaker 1>the club, Like I'm just scared to do that because

0:55:54.680 --> 0:55:55.720
<v Speaker 1>it's instant club.

0:55:57.080 --> 0:55:58.600
<v Speaker 2>So I'm failing.

0:55:59.080 --> 0:56:02.880
<v Speaker 1>And twenty five minutes in and his assistant walks up

0:56:03.920 --> 0:56:06.960
<v Speaker 1>and says, here, play this, and she gives me a

0:56:07.040 --> 0:56:09.000
<v Speaker 1>DVD and it's Finding Nemo.

0:56:10.440 --> 0:56:15.160
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, yeah, the movie, not the soundtrack,

0:56:15.600 --> 0:56:16.640
<v Speaker 2>the actual movie.

0:56:17.120 --> 0:56:19.759
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, wait, what do I I don't

0:56:22.000 --> 0:56:24.080
<v Speaker 1>there's not a DVD player here. She said, oh. She

0:56:24.200 --> 0:56:28.040
<v Speaker 1>comes back gives me a portable DVD player. I was like, well,

0:56:28.239 --> 0:56:30.480
<v Speaker 1>I say, it's a nightclub, they don't have it. His

0:56:30.640 --> 0:56:33.239
<v Speaker 1>engineer gives me, like the chords. I said, yeah, but

0:56:33.280 --> 0:56:35.800
<v Speaker 1>there's no projection. There's a projection screen.

0:56:36.280 --> 0:56:37.320
<v Speaker 2>So suddenly.

0:56:38.680 --> 0:56:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I put this thing on, but I'm still DJing, so

0:56:41.120 --> 0:56:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I figured like he just wants the visual of like

0:56:44.200 --> 0:56:46.960
<v Speaker 1>the fish playing in the background. Yeah. And then they

0:56:47.000 --> 0:56:49.120
<v Speaker 1>come over and they're like no, no, no, can you

0:56:49.200 --> 0:56:51.360
<v Speaker 1>turn the volume up. I was like, wait, we're in

0:56:51.400 --> 0:56:53.200
<v Speaker 1>a nightclub in Philadelphia.

0:56:53.200 --> 0:56:54.520
<v Speaker 2>You want to watch Finding Nemo?

0:56:55.040 --> 0:56:56.800
<v Speaker 1>And he said yeah, just you know, just kill the

0:56:56.880 --> 0:56:59.080
<v Speaker 1>music and put the thing up. And I was like,

0:56:59.360 --> 0:57:01.080
<v Speaker 1>oh no, you set me up. So I got the

0:57:01.160 --> 0:57:05.960
<v Speaker 1>opening DJ guy, I said, look and about five seconds

0:57:06.000 --> 0:57:08.040
<v Speaker 1>do the transfer and put up the So suddenly we

0:57:08.239 --> 0:57:11.560
<v Speaker 1>go from like this this funk music talking about protesting

0:57:11.640 --> 0:57:16.200
<v Speaker 1>the government in Nigeria to suddenly, like Ellen Degenero's voice.

0:57:17.320 --> 0:57:19.240
<v Speaker 2>He just wants to watch Finding Nemo. Yeah.

0:57:19.360 --> 0:57:22.800
<v Speaker 1>And it was like it's it didn't affect nobody and

0:57:22.880 --> 0:57:25.880
<v Speaker 1>his crew like this happens all the time every day,

0:57:26.080 --> 0:57:29.600
<v Speaker 1>and I'm just sitting there dejected, like.

0:57:29.880 --> 0:57:32.320
<v Speaker 2>No one has this story, No one has this story.

0:57:32.400 --> 0:57:33.200
<v Speaker 2>That is the greatest.

0:57:33.320 --> 0:57:37.320
<v Speaker 1>I just sat there like, yo, dude, like you're playing

0:57:37.440 --> 0:57:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Finding Nemo in the club like popping bottles in a

0:57:41.240 --> 0:57:43.240
<v Speaker 1>and you remember the club back in like in two

0:57:43.240 --> 0:57:46.640
<v Speaker 1>thousand and four, like it was sexy back then. Nah,

0:57:46.760 --> 0:57:51.240
<v Speaker 1>he wanted, we were watching Pixar in the Duck Club.

0:57:51.680 --> 0:57:54.240
<v Speaker 2>Are you Duck Club? Are you? Did you read the

0:57:54.280 --> 0:57:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Beautiful Ones yet?

0:57:55.680 --> 0:57:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Yes? I read it and it it's ah man, it

0:57:59.320 --> 0:58:02.920
<v Speaker 1>makes me so sick, like he he wrote that. Normally,

0:58:03.000 --> 0:58:06.400
<v Speaker 1>when people write books, you do it with a collaborator,

0:58:07.080 --> 0:58:09.320
<v Speaker 1>like with me, it was like going back to school,

0:58:09.360 --> 0:58:12.120
<v Speaker 1>like chapter for chapter, Like my guy would say, like, Okay,

0:58:12.360 --> 0:58:14.080
<v Speaker 1>write about the first time he brought a record and

0:58:14.120 --> 0:58:16.320
<v Speaker 1>then I write something and he goes and okay's run

0:58:16.400 --> 0:58:20.040
<v Speaker 1>on sentence d D D no whatever. Or traditionally you

0:58:20.280 --> 0:58:24.080
<v Speaker 1>just do a twenty hour interview with someone and then

0:58:24.120 --> 0:58:29.120
<v Speaker 1>they write the words in your voice. But he wrote

0:58:29.200 --> 0:58:33.040
<v Speaker 1>that book and he only wrote thirty pages, but it

0:58:33.280 --> 0:58:37.040
<v Speaker 1>revealed so much about at least up until the age

0:58:37.040 --> 0:58:40.880
<v Speaker 1>of four, which you know could have been but he

0:58:41.000 --> 0:58:43.360
<v Speaker 1>took a lot of photos, like so there's a lot

0:58:43.440 --> 0:58:49.840
<v Speaker 1>of unanswered questions about his childhood. Uh, Maya Rudolph is

0:58:49.880 --> 0:58:53.400
<v Speaker 1>really going to love this book because there's I guess

0:58:53.440 --> 0:58:56.680
<v Speaker 1>if Instagram were out back then, Prince would have been

0:58:56.720 --> 0:58:59.400
<v Speaker 1>on Instagram instead. Like he just kept photo books of

0:58:59.560 --> 0:59:02.120
<v Speaker 1>all that as he made, like the process of making it,

0:59:02.800 --> 0:59:06.400
<v Speaker 1>like my breakfast, my engineer sleep on the couch again.

0:59:07.640 --> 0:59:10.160
<v Speaker 1>So there's a there's a picture where he Prince is

0:59:10.240 --> 0:59:13.720
<v Speaker 1>driving down Sunset and there's a big giant ad of

0:59:13.920 --> 0:59:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Minnie Riperton's new album Stay in Love, like on Sunset

0:59:17.920 --> 0:59:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Boulevard and Princes waiting at a red light and Flash

0:59:22.400 --> 0:59:24.919
<v Speaker 1>takes the photo. It's a perfect shot, like this would

0:59:24.960 --> 0:59:27.920
<v Speaker 1>have been his iPhone back in nineteen seventy seven. And

0:59:28.200 --> 0:59:31.040
<v Speaker 1>the caption was like this woman could cause a car

0:59:31.200 --> 0:59:34.280
<v Speaker 1>crash and I was like, oh man, my Rudolph is

0:59:34.440 --> 0:59:36.000
<v Speaker 1>really really going to love that? Yeah?

0:59:37.440 --> 0:59:41.120
<v Speaker 2>Does he ever know that she loves him that much? Oh? Definitely,

0:59:41.480 --> 0:59:43.360
<v Speaker 2>I think yeah. Yeah.

0:59:43.440 --> 0:59:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Because he talks about even though he only covers the

0:59:50.200 --> 0:59:53.160
<v Speaker 1>first four year of his life, he often jumps to

0:59:53.680 --> 0:59:57.440
<v Speaker 1>modern references. So there's a there is a mention of

0:59:57.960 --> 1:00:03.560
<v Speaker 1>him watching h the Darling Nicky performance. Really that is

1:00:03.640 --> 1:00:05.680
<v Speaker 1>also in my topic, that and Stevie Wonder. I'm just

1:00:05.680 --> 1:00:06.680
<v Speaker 1>trying to figure out what else.

1:00:07.480 --> 1:00:10.600

<v Speaker 1>the way backward. I really want to thank you for

1:02:05.920 --> 1:02:09.400
<v Speaker 1>helping us and well, first of all, for everything you've

1:02:09.480 --> 1:02:13.600
<v Speaker 1>done for me personally. No, seriously, dog like, that was

1:02:15.040 --> 1:02:19.880
<v Speaker 1>I always joke that not even joke because everyone asked like, well,

1:02:20.000 --> 1:02:23.960
<v Speaker 1>how did you guys manage to do the show? And

1:02:25.120 --> 1:02:27.400
<v Speaker 1>I always tell them that we were prepared in the

1:02:27.560 --> 1:02:30.360
<v Speaker 1>nicest way possible to say no because we didn't want

1:02:30.400 --> 1:02:31.840
<v Speaker 1>to burn a bridge and be like, Okay, when we

1:02:31.920 --> 1:02:34.080
<v Speaker 1>have a new album, ount we can come on said show,

1:02:35.160 --> 1:02:40.520
<v Speaker 1>I said, But then you disarmed us in literally ten minutes,

1:02:40.560 --> 1:02:44.240
<v Speaker 1>which no human being has ever done. I mean, we've

1:02:44.280 --> 1:02:47.800
<v Speaker 1>had the finest of women, the finest of models, the

1:02:47.920 --> 1:02:50.439
<v Speaker 1>biggest of act I think there was a point where

1:02:50.480 --> 1:02:54.480
<v Speaker 1>we were supposed to go fishing with uh George Clooney

1:02:55.240 --> 1:02:59.760
<v Speaker 1>at one point, like that's a typical backstage thing, like George, clue,

1:03:00.160 --> 1:03:02.760
<v Speaker 1>we're going fishing tomorrow whatever, and like we're so stand

1:03:02.840 --> 1:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>offish as a group, and literally in ten minutes you

1:03:08.680 --> 1:03:11.440
<v Speaker 1>had us doing a human pyramid. That eight is enough

1:03:11.520 --> 1:03:15.120
<v Speaker 1>human pyramid at UCLA, and only because Tarik was on

1:03:15.200 --> 1:03:19.400
<v Speaker 1>the bottom row. Who you know, his clothes are so expensive.

1:03:20.840 --> 1:03:24.160
<v Speaker 1>It's like Treek is actually getting his Japanese denim dirty.

1:03:25.280 --> 1:03:27.160
<v Speaker 1>And I looked at Rich like we're not getting rid

1:03:27.160 --> 1:03:30.080
<v Speaker 1>of this guy anytime soon, and he's like, Nope, you.

1:03:30.160 --> 1:03:30.760
<v Speaker 2>Do it right there.

1:03:30.880 --> 1:03:33.960
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't figure out what you did to disarm the

1:03:34.120 --> 1:03:36.440
<v Speaker 1>roots in ten minutes flat, and I was like, oh,

1:03:37.080 --> 1:03:38.800
