Speaker 1: of the dads that would mark the juice bottle with
Speaker 1: the sharpie and all the worst. Don't drink my juice,

Speaker 3: or his first name?
Speaker 1: No, he would just mark the apple juice bottle where
Speaker 1: it was last, where he last. He was super petty,
Speaker 1: and then.
Speaker 3: Assumed it's dad's. This is like the level of checking
Speaker 3: on the kids.
Speaker 1: You just had issues. We had issues about the juice level.
Speaker 1: Like in a black and a black household, the juice
Speaker 1: juice is like that's that's you know, that's currency. I
Speaker 1: can have all the water I want as long as
Speaker 1: I feel the water bottle back up, you know, by
Speaker 1: the time it gets to the bottom. But but you
Speaker 1: got to go to the you can't house juice. I
Speaker 1: don't think I was housing juice. And he would also
Speaker 1: house his intimate peak compile, you know, the intimate pecancakes. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was petty with them. But I'm only asking now
Speaker 1: now that I'm sharing space and I'm like looking forward
Speaker 1: to like my snack, and then somebody that got you it's.
Speaker 3: I might be a little petty myself. What was it?
Speaker 3: What was it?

Speaker 1: think that's taken off like twenty one pounds. I love it.
Speaker 1: I love it, But this time I'm not trying, which
Speaker 1: is scaring the shit out of me. So it's probably
Speaker 1: like the last time I read this, I was like

Speaker 1: like I'm wearing I'm wearing d nce gear now, like
Speaker 1: normally I have to wear my wear my like make
Speaker 1: my own clothes and all that stuff.
Speaker 3: Is it more about food or exercise?
Speaker 1: I think it's eighty percent food twenty percent exercise right now. Okay,
Speaker 1: So the greatest thing I've discovered besides Trader Joe's, there's
Speaker 1: there's a woman who is starting a company. I've been
Speaker 1: begging for carbless bread for the longest. Carbless bread.
Speaker 5: Yeah, He've been talking about this, He says.
Speaker 1: Gods have heard my cry. Matter of fact, hang on
Speaker 1: a second. She there, she's there. What's that? So this
Speaker 1: is barbleous corn bread?
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm like indulging in bread like normally. I'm like,
Speaker 3: you know, you're like out of the fucking house so
Speaker 3: much that I have like a system of how I
Speaker 3: like operate or whatever, like a crazy person bringing like
Speaker 3: carrying like a disgusting smoothie container for twelve hours after
Speaker 3: I step you know what I mean. It's like, what
Speaker 3: the fuck kind of life am I living? Well?
Speaker 1: So what's your daily what's your daily ritual? You bake
Speaker 1: your own Now it's the typical day.
Speaker 3: What time do you get up typical pre COVID times
Speaker 3: or during.
Speaker 5: Now now in the time of the Rona.
Speaker 3: In time of the Rona, I'm getting at at like nine,
Speaker 3: and I start working around eleven, and I work from
Speaker 3: eleven to seven or eight.
Speaker 1: Just ask, when you open your eyes at nine, how
Speaker 1: long is it before you realize what you've woken up into.
Speaker 1: I eve a temptation to not look at the news
Speaker 1: of the phone, to see like, is this the day
Speaker 1: that we have a cure? Is this that you know?
Speaker 3: I have been like totally avoiding the news almost completely.
Speaker 3: If I do listen, it's like democracy now, you know,
Speaker 3: democracy now, listen to that maybe once a week, once
Speaker 3: or twice a week. But I'm just like the New
Speaker 3: York Times is like, oh, Corona charts. We have another chart.
Speaker 3: It's like they're just like loving this shit, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean. It's like it's not like new information
Speaker 3: or whatever. I'm not watching Como. I'm like, great, I'm
Speaker 3: so glad he's like being a human being or whatever.
Speaker 3: But I'm not. I can't even indulge in the change.
Speaker 3: So I and like, I try to do some sort
Speaker 3: of workout.
Speaker 7: How do you prepare for this though? As a writer,
Speaker 7: Like how do you feel about this the industry or
Speaker 7: in your creativity.
Speaker 1: How do you?
Speaker 3: I had too much fucking shit going on, and I'm like,
Speaker 3: how did I? At first, I was like so angry
Speaker 3: at myself. I was like, why did I think I
Speaker 3: could live three lives in one body. I was so
Speaker 3: harsh to myself where I was like, you stupid big
Speaker 3: you could live three. I was like so mean about it.
Speaker 3: And it's like, yeah, I don't know that's what the
Speaker 3: world was. But now and so I had like development
Speaker 3: stuff that I'm working on, like my own writing, and
Speaker 3: then uh, you know, raising up young writers projects. I
Speaker 3: was doing stand up and I was doing uh like
Speaker 3: production services, this this company that I'm I'm building star
Speaker 3: Picks and production services. It's like, who the fuck knows
Speaker 3: stand up? I'm like, I'm not gathering people together till
Speaker 3: there's a vaccine. And now with writing, I'm like, yeah, bitch,
Speaker 3: focus and just be And I got enough going on,
Speaker 3: and I'm like and I'm not like i I'm I'm
Speaker 3: like a busy body. So it's like I think I
Speaker 3: just like stayed and then the creativity kind of comes
Speaker 3: as it comes, and I do take like at night,
Speaker 3: I'm like, no emails on weekends, no emails, just like
Speaker 3: get the fuck away. It's hard on like Sunday and
Speaker 3: sometimes like maybe I will catch up, but it's like no,
Speaker 3: just stay away. That work is there all the fucking time,
Speaker 3: you know, it's like available there. Yeah, yeah, what do you?
Speaker 1: What do you? Because even now, like I'll stay busy,
Speaker 1: but I still find myself like avoiding certain things that
Speaker 1: I should be doing, Like what do you creative wise?
Speaker 1: What do you what do you keep putting off?
Speaker 3: You mean like your screenplay type of thing exactly? You
Speaker 3: know that I have this thing where it's like I
Speaker 3: have this essay I want to write about how COVID
Speaker 3: is not the great equalizer that I just can't write.
Speaker 3: People are like, oh, equal equal. It's like no, COVID's
Speaker 3: exposing how poor people are poor and rich people are rich.
Speaker 3: It's not the equal it's the system revealer. I've just
Speaker 3: been wanting to write this essay and I'm like, I
Speaker 3: don't know myself as an essay writer yet, but scripts,
Speaker 3: I'm like really sort of and like outlines and shit
Speaker 3: and pitches are like coming to me. But this essay
Speaker 3: writing vibe, I'm just like, I guess because I don't
Speaker 3: read essays and I like barely read.
Speaker 1: So has there has there been any thought or temptation
Speaker 1: to resurrect half a project with abs via Zoom Because
Speaker 1: the thing is is that even when I watched when
Speaker 1: I watched the show, a lot of your extras were
Speaker 1: YouTube communicating via Skype or whatever the technology was in
Speaker 1: twenty eleven, twenty twelve, So it's almost like a broad
Speaker 1: city was created for Zoom culture years before. Now we
Speaker 1: live by Zoom. I wasn't doing this four weeks ago.
Speaker 3: I'm a big facetimer. You know. I love to FaceTime.
Speaker 3: So I'm glad that I like was on that tip
Speaker 3: before it was forced upon me. But like, Abby and
Speaker 3: I actually have shit going, so I'm like, we're already
Speaker 3: doing the things we have. We're like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: thank you Jesus that we have had an animated pilot
Speaker 3: going that we're like working on that, and we have
Speaker 3: a couple uh scripted like live action stuff that we've
Speaker 3: been just like raising and raising and raising.
Speaker 1: You don't did you at least warn before. The thing
Speaker 1: that I don't like about where we live now is
Speaker 1: the amount of people that FaceTime you without warning you
Speaker 1: that they're face timing you the FaceTime like it's the new,
Speaker 1: like it's a phone call because we're all dusty.
Speaker 5: We're all dusty, and yeah, yeah, I'm like you.
Speaker 3: I don't even call someone. I always pretext. Yeah, even
Speaker 3: a phone call. I'm just like phone call. But is
Speaker 3: it the nineties? Like it's just too real. Uh, it's
Speaker 3: too everybody's like in their own world and like on
Speaker 3: the phone, I always pretext before any you can't. I mean, like,
Speaker 3: that's that's aggressive FaceTime, straight up FaceTime. And if I
Speaker 3: FaceTime someone and they don't pick up, I apologize and
Speaker 3: say I know that was aggressive.
Speaker 7: Nah, whoever not post rono, you can FaceTime, okay, straight up.
Speaker 1: There's a six four six person and that like will
Speaker 1: FaceTime me five times in a row and then I'll
Speaker 1: you know, when when you do the you ever do
Speaker 1: the text thing where you just do the sort of
Speaker 1: the bunch of exclamation points. They never identify. You should
Speaker 1: know who it is, Yo, got an idea for a song?
Speaker 1: I know who? All right? So there's there's an industry veteran.
Speaker 1: There's there's an industry veteran that I.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I love that side.
Speaker 5: I love trivia. It's like trivia.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put this. No, he's an industry veteran, and
Speaker 1: I believe that his goal is to get a prominent
Speaker 1: singer piano player father that was just recently on our
Speaker 1: show a song right now and wants me to be
Speaker 1: the bridge that leads to it. But like I know,
Speaker 1: I was like, call six times facetiming.
Speaker 3: Like you're not I'm not leaning into this five times
Speaker 3: in a row FaceTime to help you bridge the success
Speaker 3: of you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: But he's like six, he's like sixty eight, So you
Speaker 1: don't know, Oh.
Speaker 5: This is somebody else.
Speaker 3: Yo.
Speaker 5: You must be getting a lot of those because somebody
Speaker 5: else hit me up, like I got a song.
Speaker 1: You think that, yeah, it's happening.
Speaker 3: Well, do you guys find like you're living in your
Speaker 3: truth or because it is so blank where it's like
Speaker 3: you know, like you're like, I'm not fucking answering this,
Speaker 3: or if you do, you're like, I'm not doing your
Speaker 3: your father musician, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Whatever the thing is, I'll no, I'll go further with now.
Speaker 1: I just have to bluntly tell them that I'm not
Speaker 1: in that space like this whole tell me what you
Speaker 1: think about this song or you know, I'm doing this,
Speaker 1: uh this COVID benefit thing. I want you to They're
Speaker 1: trying to do like a Philly we Are the World thing.
Speaker 1: It's like, well haul and notes cool.
Speaker 5: Wait not you should no, No, It's like it's.
Speaker 1: The weirdest lineup. It's like they're trying to organize this
Speaker 1: we are the Philly like Philly Forever.
Speaker 3: And uh, I'm digging that part of it, at least
Speaker 3: that like black and white truth part of it.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm you know, I'm doing enough fund raising.
Speaker 1: I'm just you know, I don't know.
Speaker 5: Are you watching a lot of like shows on white
Speaker 5: are YouTube or I like.
Speaker 3: I don't consume much normally, so I'm like just watching
Speaker 3: the fucking Sopranos for the first time, Like I never
Speaker 3: saw yeah, and I'm like, can you believe of violence?
Speaker 1: Zoe just says hello to you, Zoe gra to me.
Speaker 5: She said, she's obsessed.
Speaker 4: I've never watched Sopranos either. Wait, are you proud of this?
Speaker 1: Heill you just landed on. I'm not really proud.
Speaker 4: I don't care because because we were talking about it,
Speaker 4: because we were talking about on Twitter the other day
Speaker 4: and I was telling people like Yo. Sopranos gets all
Speaker 4: the love, but it was really Odds that really did
Speaker 4: it in terms of breaking the in terms of you
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, what we now know is peak
Speaker 4: TV was the game changer, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: So by the time Sopranos came around, I was like,
Speaker 4: I don't care about this ship. I just saw, you know,
Speaker 4: motherfuckers get killed in jail.
Speaker 5: You know what, you an't even watch Game of Thrones.
Speaker 5: You're just not an HBO here did you stop?
Speaker 1: That's not true. I'm an HBO head. I've been watching watch.
Speaker 1: I did watch. I did watch Boardwalk Empire. I did.
Speaker 1: I did like Boywalkingpire. Yeah, I'm watching that. That ship
Speaker 1: is rough. That's it is. It is rough.
Speaker 5: You watched The Wire too, right?
Speaker 3: Hell yeah?
Speaker 1: Come on?
Speaker 5: Okay, so only got black.
Speaker 1: Gonna have Michael, and Michael has to be because I
Speaker 1: watched I watched Six Feet Under. That was really I
Speaker 1: just I'm just not like fantasy or like, you know,
Speaker 1: like Game of Thrones.
Speaker 9: It was just you know, white people with black people's.
Speaker 3: Nah.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't I wouldn't end it up.
Speaker 4: And then Sopranos was just like I had seen every
Speaker 4: gangster movie, so you know, Good Fellas a sceno, like.
Speaker 1: I just by the time they got as much fe Okay,
Speaker 1: The thing is is that because Sopranos came so close
Speaker 1: to the edge of where the new technology comes in,
Speaker 1: part of my fear is that if I rewatched the Sopranos, Well, no,
Speaker 1: it's just that, you know, it was before the age
Speaker 1: of the developed cell phones, before the age of like
Speaker 1: there's an episode where like a new Starbucks opens across
Speaker 1: the street and they're trying to figure out should they
Speaker 1: shake them down, only to realize that like, oh, that's
Speaker 1: not a mom and pop operation, like we can't. That's
Speaker 1: a multi quote right, and that they're the new dinosaurs.
Speaker 1: It's so it's very Pelly Jacket.
Speaker 4: No, And you know what, it's an interesting you say
Speaker 4: that because the parts of the wire are like that too.
Speaker 4: And I still think the wire is like one of
Speaker 4: the like the greatest show, but technology, some of that
Speaker 4: stuff it didn't really hold up.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, because it could be fixed now, like if
Speaker 1: you can send a photo or if you could But
Speaker 1: I still say that in my top three, Sopranos is
Speaker 1: still number two.
Speaker 5: Is that HBO shows, Is that what you do.
Speaker 1: I ride for I ride for the wire. Sopranos are
Speaker 1: breaking bad. That's my my top three. Okay, yeah, I
Speaker 1: know you gotta. I mean, you know you gotta. You
Speaker 1: gott at least watch why James de Gandal.
Speaker 3: I'm just like, when do you, in particular amrr watch
Speaker 3: it all night? I'm like, are you so fucking busy
Speaker 3: and like creating ship all the time? Like when do
Speaker 3: people watch it? It blows my mind?
Speaker 1: Well, I think we got time now, no, because I
Speaker 1: think the thing that I think people think, like you
Speaker 1: have to stop and go to a television. Like this morning,
Speaker 1: when I was making breakfast, I watched three episodes of
Speaker 1: kem Pill. Like I'm trying to recap on that to
Speaker 1: see if it's still holding. But that's a show. I
Speaker 1: think that's a show.
Speaker 4: I think that needs to be a list on Netflix
Speaker 4: or streaming services wherever of shows that you can watch
Speaker 4: while other ship right, you know what I mean it
Speaker 4: that needs to be a subgenre of like shows you
Speaker 4: can tweet because it shows you got you got to
Speaker 4: pay attention to and then it's some shit you really.
Speaker 1: Right about that? So I use key and peel. I
Speaker 1: use key and Peel as my occasional background on Join
Speaker 1: but can look and still not miss a thing, or
Speaker 1: you're not missing ship.
Speaker 4: It's like a Tyler Prairiy movie. Like you can walk
Speaker 4: into a Tyler Pray movie. You know exactly what's happening.
Speaker 3: You read this scripture and you know what it is.
Speaker 1: Speaking of a witch, speaking of a witch, speaking of witch. Yo,
Speaker 1: man I got, I got, I got caught in the web.
Speaker 1: Man I got caught in the tra No dumb, I
Speaker 1: watched one all right. So you remember when they were
Speaker 1: coming at Tyler for being the that his BT plus show,
Speaker 1: his show Sisters. Yeah, god, all right, so look, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: here's the thing. It was curious. No, this is this
Speaker 1: is literally curiosity killed the quest because I came in
Speaker 1: because I tarantinoed it and came in at backwards when
Speaker 1: when All Black Twitter tried to cancel Tyler for not
Speaker 1: hiring a staff and wrote everything himself, and I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, all right, let me see one episode and
Speaker 1: then next thing I knew like I watched nine episodes.
Speaker 1: It's almost like the Kardashians, like one of them shows
Speaker 1: where you'll never publicly say you watch that you on
Speaker 1: but just one episode came on and the other episode
Speaker 1: came on, and I knew it was bad because when
Speaker 1: like Gracie walked in the room, then it was like
Speaker 1: it was like electric blue status on Playboard when you're
Speaker 1: like twelve years old, like.
Speaker 4: I gotta go to last gotta let Oh no, maybe
Speaker 4: I was watching History Channel all himself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you could tell.
Speaker 5: It's about a group of women. Honey, it's about a
Speaker 5: group of women.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah ps ps.
Speaker 5: I just wanted to add a show to your background
Speaker 5: show thing.
Speaker 1: I heard, Yo, that is fun, but I just can't.
Speaker 1: It's fun, it's it good, it's funny. Yes, it was
Speaker 1: watching Atlanta fallon before like it was like we all
Speaker 1: got to watch this and we saw an episode.
Speaker 3: I really haven't watched a lot of TV or been
Speaker 3: a consumer really for like I don't know, just not
Speaker 3: my whatever. You know what I used to watch when
Speaker 3: cable was still a thing. Fucking QVC and HSN. That's
Speaker 3: what I email and tweet through the.
Speaker 8: Most, like the deepest character studies, the saddest like just
Speaker 8: like such high functioning addiction issue like and the.
Speaker 3: Slips in is fucking a genius character study. I'm trash.
Speaker 3: I'm from Long Island. I'm trash. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think like my everything was like building up to
Speaker 3: broad City and then I'm like, well I've seen broad City?
Speaker 3: Have you seen broad City? And you know it's like
Speaker 3: I'm just I don't know. And now I'm like, okay,
Speaker 3: I take stack of the industry a little bit. And
Speaker 3: also like we're all on our fucking asses all the time,
Speaker 3: so it's like it's time. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's baffles me. Every every creative I know, they never
Speaker 1: like they create, but they never like indulge into the
Speaker 1: drug that.
Speaker 3: And it's like I did when I was a kid,
Speaker 3: you know, like I used to watch like, yeah, a
Speaker 3: lot of TV as a kid. But then once I
Speaker 3: was like off, I was like, okay, time to like output.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. I start. There's some Brooklyn ship bill not
Speaker 1: that you will watch Sesame Street. And you often make
Speaker 1: fun of me for watching Sesame Street. Rules a lot
Speaker 1: was on Sesame Street. She is on Sesame streetdle you
Speaker 1: have a kid, I have two, but I work on
Speaker 1: the music director Sesame Street. He's the Joe Roposo of
Speaker 1: Sesame Street. So you were on its great he's the
Speaker 1: reason why you're on Sesame Street.
Speaker 3: Oh sick, it is my joy.
Speaker 1: It's great. It's Noodle improved two point zero real.
Speaker 3: I love it. It's so weird to have like three
Speaker 3: year old audience and a fifty year old audience. It's spans,
Speaker 3: it's not. That's cool.
Speaker 5: The newer character is that, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: There's like mister Noodle and he's like a clown. And
Speaker 3: then he has like brothers and sisters because he's doing
Speaker 3: other stuff. That's a clan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay cool.
Speaker 3: And then like people like Sarah Jones was miss Noodle
Speaker 3: for a while. His sister Debbie Diggs was mister Noodle.
Speaker 3: His brother christ Yeah.
Speaker 1: And now all right, so I mere needs Can you
Speaker 1: be gentrification Noodle? Can I can?
Speaker 3: I Brooklyn Noodle? I have like a semi mom and
Speaker 3: pop coffee shop whatever, my blue bottle coffe So you
Speaker 3: watch Sestame Street.
Speaker 1: I remember it well, I don't actively watch it now,
Speaker 1: nice Saved Thompson.
Speaker 3: Wow, the old ones are fucking sick, like legit ass television,
Speaker 3: you know, the seventies and eighties ones. I still I
Speaker 3: like to watch those clubs sometimes.
Speaker 1: You know what I just learned Bill I don't know
Speaker 1: if I told you this. So the movie I'm working
Speaker 1: on about the Harlem Cultural Festival, the last day, the
Speaker 1: last week of of that of that concert, the home
Speaker 1: Culture Festival is essentially and I'm not calling it black Woodstock,
Speaker 1: but you just did your people people often describe it
Speaker 1: as black Woodstock because it happened at the same time
Speaker 1: that Woodstock happened, but just for black people. But what
Speaker 1: I discovered was the reason why the very the very
Speaker 1: last week the Cultural Festival wasn't taped was because the
Speaker 1: camera and crew had to set up and work for
Speaker 1: a news show shot in Brooklyn called Testame Street. And
Speaker 1: on the pilot episode was Luther Vanros and Phronsie Thornton.
Speaker 1: Wow wow under Yeah. So if you if you google,
Speaker 1: the name of their band was called Listen to My Brother.
Speaker 1: So it's like one member of Chic Luther Phronsie Thornton,
Speaker 1: and they're doing this thing like count to twenty. If
Speaker 1: you look up, the name of their group was called
Speaker 1: Listen My Brother, and it's the pilot episode.
Speaker 3: That's fucking sick.
Speaker 1: It's the pilot episode. But yeah, they they performed at
Speaker 1: the Cultural Festival, and that's the one thing I'm met
Speaker 1: that I have known Luther Vandros at nineteen, a.
Speaker 2: Member of Chic before she, and that's when Nile was
Speaker 2: playing in the Sesame band.
Speaker 1: So that's right exactly.
Speaker 7: Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now well now I don't think now it's in
Speaker 1: that first clip, but he joined in seventy one. So
Speaker 1: that's how that whole New York crew of like Lisa Fisher,
Speaker 1: how young he is? Oh my god, yeah that's him
Speaker 1: in nineteen.
Speaker 5: Wow, this was funky.
Speaker 1: He was fifteen. He looked like he just wanted a
Speaker 1: full shift at Like they just don't make black people.
Speaker 3: Like that no more.
Speaker 5: He's still flicking his hips like.
Speaker 4: That no more, dude, Like you look at pictures of
Speaker 4: Oldest ready, Like it was like when I watched the
Speaker 4: it was like an oldest Redding died at twenty six.
Speaker 1: I was like this nigga was twenty six. He looked
Speaker 1: like he was like forty something.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I can't make Oldest reading in his twenties at all.
Speaker 1: Twenty seven yeah, yea. Anyway, I gotta wrap up because
Speaker 1: I have another job to do, but I have people
Speaker 1: to play music for.
Speaker 7: Uh away, what's what's the what's the thing you're going
Speaker 7: into for the weekend. What are you doing on Saturday?
Speaker 7: You know what you're doing Saturday or tomorrow.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm one of those people. You're being phastious
Speaker 1: right now, aren't you.
Speaker 5: I'm doing that because I'm acting like, you know, I'm.
Speaker 1: Really bad Friday, I know I'm doing Oprah's thing. So
Speaker 1: Oprah's doing uh Tyler Perry and Oprah in the same
Speaker 1: fucking episode. Yeah, the Oprah's doing this. Oprah's doing this
Speaker 1: like twenty four hours, uh, fundraising. I guess she's like,
Speaker 1: you know, Jerry Lewis, like raising money for twenty four hours.
Speaker 1: So I believe that I'm djaying on Oprah's virtual fundraiser
Speaker 1: thing for it's an odd amount of time, Like I'm
Speaker 1: djying for twenty seven minutes. Oh wow, who's the person
Speaker 1: counts the seconds? Like twenty six?
Speaker 4: But I have to ask a question though, I mean,
Speaker 4: with the whole celebrity fundraising thing, I mean talking is
Speaker 4: a little kind of a paradox because it's like, Okay,
Speaker 4: you're a rich celebrity, and I'm not saying you in
Speaker 4: particular mirror.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying just I'm definitely not right. I'm just connected.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, absolutely but it's like, Okay, if you're a
Speaker 4: rich celebrity and you're asking people to donate to the crisis, Nigga,
Speaker 4: we are the crisis, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 4: you're asking us to donate to the crisis, so then
Speaker 4: y'all can give that money back to us.
Speaker 10: I was just asked for like a peacock fantasy's digital thing,
Speaker 10: and I was like, NBC is asking for human beings.
Speaker 3: But the thing is they're matching. So I was like, Okay,
Speaker 3: that makes sense.
Speaker 7: Okay, that means okay, but there's levels because that stuff
Speaker 7: ain't for you though, because you ain't.
Speaker 5: No, no, it's supposed to go through it like it's
Speaker 5: for the food banks and stuff.
Speaker 7: I hope that you ain't going to the food banks
Speaker 7: and getting you some food because Love Supreme doesn't pay me.
Speaker 1: So I have to.
Speaker 3: But I hear that. I hear that. Yeah. Different. It's
Speaker 3: like a billionaires fundraiser, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 3: New York, Like, can the billionaire that we have, like
Speaker 3: the like so many billionaires, can they help at least
Speaker 3: make voting by mail happen.
Speaker 1: That was upbout Wisconsin with that, Yeah, voting by mail
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin. That's that's going to be very very interesting.
Speaker 1: Oh what were you saying, Steve? Are you about to
Speaker 1: go out and apply? Isn't it? Is that team the
Speaker 1: seventh I was just gonna as a billionaire. I was
Speaker 1: just going to say cool and you know, like, thank you,

Speaker 1: at Dean Ricky or at Ricky and d at d
Speaker 1: E E A n d R I C K y
Speaker 1: you yeah yo man.
Speaker 4: Before we go, quick question Alana, So you said that
Speaker 4: you're you have a partner. How is quarantine affecting your
Speaker 4: marriage or relationship?
Speaker 3: My marriage, my husband, and actually it's actually okay. At first,
Speaker 3: I was like my mind, I was seriously like everything
Speaker 3: was just like shattered or whatever.
Speaker 1: But but then I want you to describe everything. You
Speaker 1: describe everything with the flare of a Broadway actress.
Speaker 3: I was like, I was like just losing my mind altogether.
Speaker 3: And I was like, we gotta go, we gotta get
Speaker 3: out of we gotta go to as long I gotta
Speaker 3: get out.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: It was just like so antsy in general. But and
Speaker 3: like I was having personally like a lot of ups
Speaker 3: and downs. But he, I mean it's like really peaky ship.
Speaker 3: But he's really been like helping me just like be
Speaker 3: and myself. Just like you know, we had like arguments
Speaker 3: and like worked through the ship, but we're in like
Speaker 3: a place where we got like a rhythm. Gone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've learned about mirroring, mirroring, mirroring where the exact same. Yes,
Speaker 1: when you when you are having a debate or a
Speaker 1: disagreement or an argument, whatever. It's more important that the
Speaker 1: person that you're having with it feels that they are
Speaker 1: heard as opposed to you being right yep, or solving it.
Speaker 1: So I would have to repeat the words you say. Okay,
Speaker 1: I understand how you feel. You told me that this
Speaker 1: particular bread was made of seeds and da da da
Speaker 1: da da da da. And the thing is, if you're busy,
Speaker 1: I was given a hypothetical. The thing is is that
Speaker 1: if you're if you're repeating and mirroring exactly what your
Speaker 1: partner says, you're not busy channeling him out to figure
Speaker 1: out what you're butts.
Speaker 3: Okay, let me say this is my my one of
Speaker 3: my best my best friend as a psychiatrist. He was
Speaker 3: just telling me about using this tactic with his partner
Speaker 3: and it's from this book Getting the Love You Want,
Speaker 3: And it's that book like that tactic is based on
Speaker 3: non violent communication another book and I haven't let them
Speaker 3: got got them have them? But right, yes, oh, I
Speaker 3: was like, but like it's I think with this quarantine,
Speaker 3: it's like you got to sit like what cost is describing.
Speaker 3: It's like, because you're like stuff, you got to like
Speaker 3: sit in it and like actually walk through it, but
Speaker 3: that that actually hearing them before. You're like my defense,
Speaker 3: Like it's like there's more time than ever, so I
Speaker 3: feel like it's a good time if you're like, have
Speaker 3: some tools. I guess I got a lot of therapy.
Speaker 5: Oh that was great, Yeah, that.
Speaker 3: Was I.
Speaker 5: Helped a lot.
Speaker 1: Anyway, you'll be having Sugar Steve, uh babe, Bill Fan
