So we've all been kind 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.240 of scattered all across the place. So how is your 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:04.280 week going, Nick, Lauren is actually going well. But this 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:06.000 is one of the things, you know, you you took off. 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:09.079 I think you took off like on Thursday, right, Wednesday night, Yeah, 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:11.680 Wednesday night. Yeah, because you know, when you were out there, 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:13.440 we were, you know, Flam and I were talking like, 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:15.400 you know, we gotta make sure we keep that prayer 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.119 cloth and prayer warriors out there for you because you're 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:20.840 traveling away from home and things have gotten so crazy now. 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.600 Uh that. And again, Lauren, I say this, you know, 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:25.520 I know you're a grown woman, but we still see 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:27.639 you as young and we sit there were like, you know, 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:29.320 we gotta watch out for you, just to make sure 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:30.880 you okay. So I'm just glad you made it back. 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.520 But my weekend was pretty good. I didn't do anything 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:36.200 outside of the norm. You know, I was kind of here. 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:37.919 I knew that we'd be coming back into the studio 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:39.760 this week, so a lot of it was preparing for 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.400 that um and just trying trying to be in place 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:44.440 for that and getting back into the mental space of actually, 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:46.960 you know, coming back into a real office and all 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:48.919 of that. So yeah, yeah, but it was a good week. 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.040 That's good. Yeah for me. Honestly, I was more so 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.519 concerned about traveling before the Derek Shown verdict came down. 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:57.760 That was my main thing that I was concerned about. 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.120 So the fact that it came down on Tuesday and 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.359 then nothing crazy really erupted, and I think, you know, 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:04.400 as a whole, we all got the verdict that we wanted. 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:07.359 I was able to fly on Wednesday, like with a 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:09.600 sigh of relief. And plus I was going to Florida. 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:13.240 You know, Florida is crazy, so it was everything works, 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:15.280 it happens for a reason. I'm a firm believer of that. 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:18.359 So I'm glad everything worked out for sure, and it 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:21.160 was a successful trip as well. Oh my god. Yeah, 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.120 So I guess I can kind of update you because 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:26.359 we haven't talked yet. Um. I did the Florida AIDS Walk. 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:28.400 This is from my other job, you guys. Um. And 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:30.600 actually we had an AIDS walk in a music festival, 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:34.600 all socially distance in Florida, which some people had some 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.240 things to say about that, but we got to stay safe. Um. 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.040 But the music festival component was actually with a little 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.160 Kim and Trina, Yes, so um I got to work 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:47.360 with them. A very enjoyable experience UM. As always, events 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.600 are very hectic, especially on the talent front, but overall 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.720 it was so successful. Um Kim brought her daughter with 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:56.480 her and they had a little moment on stage. It 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.560 actually went viral and ended up on the Shade Room 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.200 with like over four million views US in Hollywood Unlocked 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.960 and everything else. So overall it was a super sexful, 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:07.040 successful event and we actually raised one point nine million dollars, 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:09.840 so that is awesome. I think one of the things too, 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.320 that makes that so special is that both Trina and 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.040 Kim have been in the game for a while. They 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.120 really are I believe they are icons. You know. They 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:18.560 really have to kind of lay the groundwork for so 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.440 many female artists in the industry just beyond wrap, you know, 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:25.560 just being uh female who are writing, producing their own material, 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:30.120 moving forward and staying saying viable in a highly competitive field. 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:32.320 You know, the game is the game is tough, you know, 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:35.160 so yeah, definitely. And the thing is they're sweet and personal. 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:36.880 Well that's always what I look for because I work 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:39.080 with a myriad of people in talent, But Kim is 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:42.000 a sweetheart and Trina is too, so I always appreciate, 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:43.640 you know, folks like that because you know, some people 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:45.480 can be up at like, oh talk to my manager, 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:47.800 don't speak to me, and we're not like that at all. 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.720 Helped Trina drove herself to the event and was like, 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:52.680 I don't need ground transportation on time. So yeah, they're 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:56.159 really lovely individuals and special people to hip hop games. 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.520 So it was it was special folks. Catch up folks, 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.440 because I know you you kind of keep an eye 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.320 on everything. There Where is Flame today? And why isn't 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:06.000 she with us right now? Catch us up? So Flame 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.560 is in Atlanta, which I'm sure some of you guys 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.159 have already seen because she went live for her drag 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:14.640 show yesterday. But Flame went to Atlanta because she had 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:16.440 a drag show, and she's actually on her way to 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:20.240 the studio because she's gonna be multitasking. She's gonna do 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.760 a live event with M T. S. Madison and Sophia 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.160 Kelly as well, So she's gonna pop in on here 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.160 for our hour and then she's gonna pop over to 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:30.840 the other show. But she's in route, and of course 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:34.000 Lift has been acting crazy lately, so um a couple 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:35.920 of lifts canceled on her, so she's just trying to 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:37.640 make it to the studio, so she doesn't have any 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:41.479 internet connection issues. But long story short, she's in Atlanta, working, working, working, 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:44.080 So you know what, I'm glad to hear that that's 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:47.560 not just here. Everybody's been talking about lifting Uber really 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.200 crazy lately because you know, for the longest, I didn't 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.960 have a car, so I depended on Uber and lifting 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.159 and things have really kind of changed. I'm not sure 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:58.919 what has caused that change, but you know, it's definitely 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:01.720 been a problem even or uh So I'm surprised that 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.720 that's the case, even in Atlanta, but clearly there's something 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:08.840 happening with the system overall. If that's what everyone is experiencing. Yeah, 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.800 I think it's across the board, because it's just not Atlanta. 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.239 There was issues with Lift in Florida that I was having, 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.480 like it's been everybody I know of it just seems 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:19.040 to be having issues. So I don't know what's going 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:22.120 on with their system. I know people are biting drivers 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:25.200 next in different things, so I don't know what's going 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:28.000 on with the Lift. You know, we see and we talked. 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:29.720 I'm going back to Flame here for a second. You 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.920 you know, we see and talk to Flame multiple times today. 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.960 And you know, it's just but there's something about Flame 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:39.320 on stage that I particularly enjoy and it makes me 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:41.200 fall in love with Flame all over again. And I 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:43.280 don't know what it is. I said to Flame that, 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:45.400 I said, you know you here with that had those 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:47.960 glasses even Bacon, I don't know who that is, but 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:52.720 will say I love it. Learn I love seeing Flame perform. 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.720 And Flame did something in the pantsuit that uh, you 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:59.000 know her her her stylist, I'm not gonna say styles 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.440 her designer, Martin Elliott, with whom she's worked for years. 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:04.880 They go back and forth, but I said, I swear it. 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:07.120 It's like, if they're not yelling at each other, they're 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:09.039 not community. It's not it's not gonna work. If they're 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.160 not yelling at each other, the magic is not gonna happen. 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.960 We know that. So and every time Martin pulls I 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.520 don't know how Martin does it, but he gets those 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:21.040 like a glove and it just looks fantastic. Sure, I 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:22.640 just gotta be honest. He can sell his ass off. 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:25.120 We gotta say it right, because it's impressive of the 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:28.440 work that he does so such a short period of time. Too. Yeah, 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:30.600 and it's Flames. I wanted to do this just any 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:32.880 other okay, okay, okay, and then he just gets that 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:36.400 machine and he just does it exactly so so I know, 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.280 I saw a Flame pop up that she's here, um, 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:41.440 but she's not coming in yet, so I'm gonna just 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:43.160 keep inviting her. But in the meantime, I think we 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:46.560 can definitely you know, start the show, um someone. I 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.960 want to start more so with like our um less 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:53.000 heavy topics, I feel like, because it just seems like 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.320 every week we've been having such a heavy show, but 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:57.760 we just have to address what's happening in the world 0:07:57.800 --> 0:07:59.720 because I feel like if we don't have these you know, 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.960 tell conversations and you know, what type of content are 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:04.560 we putting out? You know, we have to really have 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:07.160 attention and love what we're doing. So let's start with 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:09.400 the lighter stuff and then you know, Flame pop isn't great, 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:11.560 um Nick, but I'm gonna turn it over to you though. 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.280 And it's starting to circle back because Flame wants to 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:16.880 join in us because Flame probably is listening and just 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.080 can't jump in right now, and we know how that goes. 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.200 But you know, Laren, you just touched on something because 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:23.400 some of the feedback we've gotten, and I do take 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:24.760 the time you guys want you to know, I take 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.520 the time to read the comments and um, people, I've 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.080 heard a couple of people say, um, it's the same 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.160 show week after week. Everything is so heavy and you 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:35.200 all used to laugh and we still want to laugh. 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:38.120 I think that Flame and Lauren and I would argue that, 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.040 trust me, we want to laugh. We would love to 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.520 do nothing but have a show. Maybe what we're talking about, 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.640 the oscars or the NFL draft and all the things 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.719 was so much continues to happen that we both that 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:51.640 all three of us feel affects the community that it is. Um, 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:54.360 it's an incumbent part of us too. It's incumbent upon 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:56.360 us to have the conversation because we know you all 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.600 having the conversation. And that's what Flame has always said 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:01.120 from day she wanted to laugh and learned to be 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:04.559 a conversation. So join in, jump in, let us know. 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:07.079 If you find a lighter moment, please share it. We 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:09.319 you know we we we beg of you to join 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:11.640 us and uh and help us to uh keep the 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.719 conversation light and fun. But we also don't want to 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:17.000 neglect our duty and the opportunity that we have with 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:20.080 the platform UH to speak on things that affect the community. 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:22.240 So I'm gonna go ahead and just jump in there 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:25.319 with something I feel like you touched on it, and 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:28.480 I honestly I forgot What did you think about the Oscars? 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:30.280 Before we get to I know we're gonna talk about 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:31.920 Joe Biden in a second, what did you think about 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:34.640 the Oscars? I gotta ask you, Nick. You know what, Lauren, 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:36.400 I watched a little bit of it, and I'm gonna 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.720 tell you I didn't hate it, but it didn't keep 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.760 me compelled. I write that that makes sense. I think 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:44.360 what I liked was what did I like? What I 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:47.959 liked was seeing Viola Davis Like I love Viola and 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:51.240 there's something about her, just her comfort and her scan, 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:53.880 her struggle, her story, all of that that just works 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:56.120 for me. Right. But I think, Lauren, I've gotten to 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:58.080 a point where and I'm not sure if social media 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:02.000 is the reason why, or the fact that there's so 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.240 many different platforms to see things. I think I'm just 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:08.920 over celebrities that I no longer sit back in awe 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:11.520 when they hit the stage like you used to. There 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:14.280 was a time, you know, I think those who maybe 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:17.440 also like me and maybe born in the seventies can 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:19.600 sit back and tell you that there's a time when 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:21.680 you sat there, you waited with bated breath to see 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:23.600 what so and so would wear or what they would 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.839 look like, because you weren't oversaturated with celebrities. You know, 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:30.480 you weren't seeing them every day on Instagram, on Facebook 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:32.199 or whatever it is there. You know. So I think 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.240 that because we see it so much, Lauren, I'm not 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:37.040 as um in awe as I used to be, or 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:41.040 as enamored as I once was. But having said that, um, 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:45.880 there's something about just seeing so many young black faces 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:49.400 out there occupying those spaces that used to seem so 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:54.480 revered to you know, and in early on um Daniel Kaliga, 0:10:54.920 --> 0:11:00.320 I always I love seeing him, his mama, his sister, Lauren. 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.800 I know it sounds cheesy, but I can't wait to 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:04.959 do something like that, have my mama sitting up there watching, 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:09.000 you know, and I could feel his joy. Mom, you 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:12.080 didn't actually attend what happened with that? I did not attend. 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:15.400 I didn't. Yeah, so that was it. But I would 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:21.160 have dragged my mama right up in there. But you know, 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:23.560 It's one of those things where Laura, I just think 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:25.839 that those moments are just so special, you know, when 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:30.400 I see these faces that look more like you and me, Uh, 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:35.800 they're receiving and celebrating that joy. Um. There was definitely 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:38.840 some highlights at the Oscars for me, like Glenn Close 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:42.360 having that moment with Little Carell doing the butt and 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:44.880 gave the backstory of it and basically said Spike Lee 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:49.360 was robbed. Definitely a highlight for me. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Um. 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:52.679 But I mean in the similar vain nick. Um, I'm 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:55.920 not celebrity struck or star struck, you know what I mean. Um. 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:57.800 And I don't think it's because like I worked with 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:01.959 talent a lot. It's just I've never been that way. Um. So, 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:04.439 but I will say is what I do watch these 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:07.360 awards shows for is the fashion. I'm always like looking at, 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:08.839 like what can I gag at? Like what are the 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:11.840 what are the costume you know, designs? They're technically costumes 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:13.920 to me, But what is the fashion looking like for 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:16.400 the season of you know, these awards season or whatever. 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:19.440 So that's more so what I'm being attentive to. Um. 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:22.320 On a downside, I was very sad that Andre Day 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:25.680 didn't win. I really felt like she should have won 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.480 Best Actress for that category. She gave an impeccable formance 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.839 for Billie Holiday, and it just her performance was just 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:35.040 a parallel opposite for me from like Lady Sings the 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.640 Blues with Diana Ross, because while it was a you know, 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:42.599 a true story of Billie Holiday, it just, uh, this 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.599 new what Andre Day did. It was just a a 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.319 different raw form that I saw Billy Holiday in a 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:50.640 different light, and it wasn't anything negative. I thought it 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:53.240 was something positive in a way despite all of the 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.800 you know, turmoil and tragedy that she had to go through. 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.520 So I just really felt like andre Day didn't get 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:01.679 her flowers last night. So it was very ready. I think. 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.240 I think we're talking about two very different movies and 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:07.040 both and both can be celebrated in their own way. 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:10.880 Absolutely agree. Um, it's like The Wiz is not the Odds, 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:13.439 It's not the Wizard of Odds. Yes, those are two. 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:16.280 There are two very different things. Absolutely, I completely agree. 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:20.640 And of course Chadwick Boseman got robbed. That was honestly 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.760 the that was huge for me, Like I felt like 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:27.080 they centered the whole Oscars around Chadwick Boseman and then 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:29.079 not to give him that award was kind of just 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.559 like why, was like why did that happen? You know, 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:34.160 and and a lot of and then at the end 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:35.839 of the program, I don't know if you saw to Nick, 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:40.160 the Oscars basically explained how they select their individual folks. 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.200 It's almost like they had to justify what they did 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:44.000 because they knew they were wrong in a lot of ways. 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:46.520 So I just I felt like they gave us, you know, 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:49.040 it was a little bit they gave us a foot 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.439 and not our mile that we deserved. So it was like, 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:53.520 here's enough to kind of silence you guys to say that, 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:55.839 you know, we're not so white anymore, but we're not 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:57.439 going to give you all that you deserve here. We 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:00.439 still gotta, you know, stick to our sound fundation of 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:03.160 what the Oscars is. That's just you kind of mentioned. 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.800 Also you touched on fashion in there, and I'm gonna 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:07.880 say this, Can we agree that a couple of those 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:12.040 brothers wore some really uh nice looking things like and 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.000 and this is what you know. I've had this conversation 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:17.959 with my mom. Everything doesn't look good on everybody. A 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:19.720 couple of things like I couldn't have got out of 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:23.040 the way where but it looked good. I was like, yeah, 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:25.400 I forget the brother's name. Who were the future like? 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:27.720 And you like sitting You're like, what was he thinking? 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:30.200 But it looked good on him. He looked good on 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:35.520 his skin and look Keith, that looked good. I'm like, 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:38.400 you know what, But I also think, you know what 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:40.640 helps to be you know, taller, thinner brother were you 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:42.640 know what what he wore? But I just thought it 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:45.560 looked good, and you know, because I think that one 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.120 of the challenges when you're a bigger guy is finding 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:52.560 clothes that are that fit appropriately, you know, because you know, 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:54.640 you just can't wear the can't wear you can't wear 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:58.840 the high the high ankle pants and things like I 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:01.280 looked better dressed bore like Unchael straighthand you know, nicely 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:04.160 simple traditional suit keeping it, you know, just just keep 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:06.240 the clean, you know, and doing that. So, yeah, you 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:10.280 know your body, you got you gotta know your body. 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:14.200 One of the things I want to jump on in 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.800 there with Lauren. I brought it up simply because later 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:19.920 this week we're expecting Wednesday, President Biden to make his 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:24.680 first address to joint sessions of Congress. President Biden nears 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:27.360 the end of his first one hundred days in office, 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:30.400 with the slight majority of Americans approving of his performance 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:33.840 and supporting his majority policy initiative. On Wednesday, he will 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:37.120 address a joint session of Congress. He's expected to outline 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:40.960 his American Family's Plan, which will reportedly be paid for 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:44.760 by tax heights on wealthy Americans, and just breaking down 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:48.040 those numbers of adults say they approve of the job 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:52.120 Biden is doing compared with for who disapproved. So I think, 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:53.600 more than anything, I just want to throw it out there. 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:56.440 I think, um um. I personally believe that one of 0:15:56.520 --> 0:16:01.480 the reasons Biden's numbers are in a positive direction, I 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.160 personally think it's because we're seeing less of him. I 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:08.680 think that there's something about his lack of desire to 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:10.920 be in front of the camera, like the former administration 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:14.080 has worked to his advantage. I think, in many ways, 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:17.560 the bar for President Biden has been placed so low 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.760 by so many. Uh, there's still jokes about his age, 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.960 there's still jokes about him falling, there's still there's there's 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:26.520 always so many references to that that I think that 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.480 anytime he can actually stand upright and not you know, 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:34.120 a slobber over himself. People consider it a win, you know. 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:36.040 So I think that's one of the reasons why his 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:39.400 numbers are so high. Yeah, I mean, I agree with that. 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:42.240 I think that within the first hundred days that he's 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:44.120 nearing it, he's not even there yet. I think he's 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.840 done a lot for you know, the country. I have 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:49.720 to say that. I think in some ways he's definitely 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.520 playing to his strengths and saying that, hey, this may 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:54.240 not be something I need to tackle. So he's kind 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:57.200 of given those big policy initiatives of Kamala Harris and 0:16:57.240 --> 0:16:59.480 kind of wanting her to spearhead that. But I also 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:01.280 say that to say two is I think and this 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:03.680 is again my opinion. I don't have any sources or 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:06.480 anybody confirm this. I don't know if Biden wants to, 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:11.240 you know, run again for president. So I think he's 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:14.680 strategically given Kamala Harris some of those big policy initiatives 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:16.520 so that way she can kind of step out of 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:18.840 her on her own court if she chooses to run. 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:22.879 But I think as a whole though he's he is, 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:25.240 he's doing a great job. He has he inherited a 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:29.320 screwed up administration. Um. You know, not just from the economy, 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:33.240 just the policies that were previously implemented. He inherited a 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:35.960 screwed up justice system. Um from the d O J. 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:38.960 So I think as a whole, you know, he's trying 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:42.119 to fare the best way that he can. Um. So 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:45.320 I do I want to give Joe Biden kudos today, um, 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:49.680 even for you know, handling COVID. Um Nick, I don't 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:51.600 mind sharing this with you because Flame is ready, She's 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:54.000 about to come in a second, so we can kind 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.960 of have this moment really quickly. Um. I ended up 0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:59.800 actually getting vaccinated, and I know I haven't even told 0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:01.560 you that too, so we can, you know, quickly do 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:02.880 this because I know Flames not I want to talk 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:05.879 about this. Um well, I did end up getting vaccinated. 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:07.680 It was a personal choice, like we've always said, but 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:09.119 it was something I had to do because I was 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:12.560 traveling for work. UM. So I don't know if you 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:16.400 want to share your story too, but I gotta give 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:19.120 kudos to Joe Biden. You know, he said some things 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:21.000 we may not want to do, but you know, we 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:23.280 kind of had to do it. And so because of 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:25.520 my own personal reasons. I ended up doing that, and 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:28.280 I can't lie. I do feel like I feel a 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:31.080 little safer, especially considering I went to Florida, so and 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:33.240 that's really why I did it. But yeah, good for you, 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:35.400 And did you have any adverse side effects anything you wanted? 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:39.640 It was terrible. Yeah, it felt like I had food poisoning. 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:43.119 For my second dose, I was very tired. Um, I 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:46.560 had a headache. It wasn't the best feeling. I don't 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:48.600 like feeling like I have food poisoning, and it's very 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:51.880 painful for me. Um. So I'm not getting any more shots. 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:53.800 I don't care about a booster. I'm not I'm not 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.640 doing anything else. I'm done. I'm I'm definitely definitely done. 0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:59.880 But yeah, but you also and help me here, Lauren, 0:18:59.880 --> 0:19:04.120 you also did it also protect those around you? Correct? Yes? Absolutely? Yeah, 0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:06.200 So like you guys, we've all said, like I still 0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:08.240 live at home with my parents, personal reasons, I've got 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:11.040 stuff going on. So I had to get vaccinated because 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:12.879 I got to protect other people, you know, I just do, 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:15.720 you know. So that's what I did. And as you know, 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:17.320 I was going back and forth to California to the 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:19.600 show and and things like that. I was traveling so much, 0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:21.960 so I got my I did get my Fightser, I 0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:27.000 did Fightser Advisor. I completed my round back in February, 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:29.080 you know, and I shared that because I went through 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:31.320 the v A. So I was and there were people 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:33.160 who wouldn't show up, and they're like, hey, ms Smith, 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:35.720 we can do you a blue closed in fifteen minutes, 0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:37.439 I'll be there and eight. So I ran up there 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:39.080
