Okay, follow QLs on ig or 14 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: go through Questlove Supreme dot com. And you know we'll 15 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: be recording these a few times a month where I'll basically, 16 00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: you know, answer letters. All right, Alan Holm Mass, I 17 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: have a question about how James Brown recorded in the 18 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: studio based on the way he hells out changes in 19 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: the song take him to the bridge where songs written 20 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,479 Speaker 1: in the studio? Did he chart songs ahead of time 21 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 1: and then provides changes on the spot. Did he just 22 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: hum the melody of the band and let him figure 23 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: it out. Hopefully someone from the JB Glory days are 24 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: still alive and I can ask them, Yes, I happen 25 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: to know some of the methods to James Brown's madness. 26 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: Some of the evidence is literally right there. You can 27 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 1: find a lot of the answers if you go to 28 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: kind of the reissue versions of stuff. There was a 29 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: period in the late nineties early arts in which kind 30 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: of full extended versions of songs or maybe alternate versions 31 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: of songs and whatnot. So I would say that for 32 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: the most part, I believe that James Brown will go 33 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: to each individual member of the band and hum out 34 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: what they sing. I do have for real, I forget 35 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: what song it is. It might be super bad, but 36 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: literally he's telling Jimmy Chank, Nolan Chank bring out that, 37 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: and Chank gives it back to him. Yeah. But if 38 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: you listen to the original give it up or turner loose, 39 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: there's a part where the horn section is not catching 40 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: James's Q and James says starting over again. And I 41 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: often wondered why didn't they just stop the tape and 42 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: start over again? But then I realized that that's a 43 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: waste of tape, so oftentimes mistakes were just left in there. 44 00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: And actually, you know, James is one of the probably 45 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: the best examples of just freestyling. There are some examples 46 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: of like lyrics. My good friend Alan Weeds, who you know, 47 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: that name holds Holy He's managed di'angelo the p Funk Universe. 48 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: Prince got to start managing both Cool and Gang and 49 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: James Brown in the early seventies. He was with the 50 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: artists during their peak period and I believe the night 51 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: that Sex Machine got recorded, James asked Allen Leads for 52 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: a show poster and they pulled a poster off the 53 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: wall and he grabbed an inkpin and on the back 54 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: of the poster says like shake your arms, use your form, 55 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: stay on the scene like a sex machine. Got to 56 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: have feelings, she as you're born, get it together right on, 57 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: right on, like you see the hamwritten lyrics for that. 58 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: So sometimes he would just write occasional idea out but 59 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: for the most part you can tell that he's freestyl 60 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: and it's funk is a feeling, and it's just as effective. 61 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: I mean, you know where a cat like Bob Dylan 62 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: really sort of stretched the bounds of imagination on what 63 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: an artist could and should talk about in songs. I 64 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: believe that James Brown was just as effective and poetic 65 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: kind of just living in the moment and see what happens, which, 66 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: to me, that's the key of life, living in the moment, 67 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: see what happens. So I hope that answers your question. 68 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: Alan Okay, Darren See asked who my all time favorite 69 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: comedian is. Comy's so weird man, because it's such a 70 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 1: dated thing, tell you who I love currently now, right now, 71 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: one of my favorite comedians is uh Fahim an War. 72 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:58,799 Speaker 1: Fahim an War to me is he knows the funny 73 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: and every day life situations. But for me, the funniest 74 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: bit he ever does is uh well, first of all, 75 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: just go to his YouTube page and just fall down 76 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: a rabbit hole of comedy there. But Fahim's take on 77 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: Michael Jackson's The Way You Make Me Feel video, that's 78 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: that's the one for the record books. I mean, I 79 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: like a lot I became friends with. When I found 80 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: out this particular comedian was from Dayton, Ohio, I was like, wait, 81 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 1: from the birthplace of funk. Her name is Beth Stelling. 82 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: She's from Dayton, Ohio. A lot of her Netflix specials 83 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: are up. She's funny. I'm really sad that I kind 84 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: of had a hope that Patrise O'Neil was going to 85 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: pick up the baton where Chappelle left off. I felt 86 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: like he was going to be next, But I don't know. 87 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: I love hanging around comedians because I just love watching 88 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: their madness. Of course, being around the Big Hohuna, especially 89 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: now and is probably his most dangerous, controversial period. It's 90 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: so weird because like for me, I love my entertainment dangerous, 91 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 1: like I love writ the risk factor of it all 92 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: and one of the craziest nights in comedy I ever saw. 93 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: I love observing Chappelle because I love watching people freestyle 94 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: and figuring out how do they get out of this situation? 95 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: You know when people come up t Reek and ask 96 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 1: on the spot like you know, find me and Ryan 97 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: for Bronosaurus and within seconds like Tarik's like instantly has something. 98 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: I was at a club one night at one in 99 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 1: the morning and Chappelle was just in rare form and 100 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: when I mean in rare forum, I mean controversial rare 101 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: for him, this new Chappelle that we got, and it's 102 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: like he says something and the audience turned on him 103 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: and half the audience walked out and I sat there 104 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, I've never seen this before. 105 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: And then he managed to dig himself out of the 106 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: hole four minutes later and it was like sh okay. 107 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: Cause again, to me, the joy watching him is how 108 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: he navigates himself out of a situation. And he got 109 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: back on safe ground again. It was like, oh, back 110 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: to Dave and said, you know, funny stuff and haha. 111 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: And then I saw a look at his eye and 112 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: then he went somewhere else controversial and the whole audience 113 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: turned against him again and I was like, Dave, I 114 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: don't think you can say that dog, And he got 115 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: himself out of it. This happens like six times, and 116 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: afterwards I'm it's like, yo, dude, like are you purposely 117 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: trying to for him? That's the zone where he's in now, 118 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: where it's almost like a psychological exercise. Look up this 119 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: documentary called The Aristocrats, and it's a bit that comedians 120 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: do when they're about to bomb, like if they're about 121 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: to have a bad night. It's a smoke signal to 122 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: let the other comedians know I'm messed up and I'm 123 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: giving up. And they do this joke the Aristocrats, and 124 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 1: it's not a funny joke, but it's just a wink 125 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: to the other comedians, like, well, that was a bomb, 126 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,319 Speaker 1: so let me just ruin it. And that joke requires 127 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: a kind of creativity that really requires you to use 128 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: your brain. And I feel like he's taking it a 129 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: step further where he's like silently telling me a mirror 130 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: check this out. Now. Most people will use the check 131 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: this out moment to do something like crazy, like shoot 132 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: a ball from half court, or the way that Jazzy 133 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: Jeff cuts or like a crazy shack solo. Not watch 134 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: me lose the entire audience and get them back in 135 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 1: four minutes, and he'll get them back and then he'll 136 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: be comfortable and he'll press the button. I'm gonna lose 137 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: the audience again. And I see no one that takes 138 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: more joy in this kind of new found wizardry power 139 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: right now than Dave. So I don't know. I mean, 140 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: it reminds me of listening to NWA. It reminds me 141 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: of like listen to a Dirty Mind era prints, Like 142 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: I know, it's weird to embrace that level of danger. 143 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: Some I wouldn't personally do, but I am curious about 144 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: daredevils who kind of do the Lukmano hands tricks with 145 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: their craft. So anyway, hope that answers your question, Darren 146 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: See Michelle Davis wrote, I'm listening to the Bonnie Raid 147 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: episode I forgot we did a Bonnie Rad episode while 148 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 1: running errands today and we were talking about being human 149 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: nature to not be able to enjoy a moment for 150 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: long before moving on from that feeling to something like 151 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 1: worry anxiety, and for me, certain music can extend that moment. 152 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: I'm not at all trained to music, so maybe it's 153 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: easier for non musicians to use music in that way. 154 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: My question is, is it possible for you to enjoy 155 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: music in that way? Are there some bands, performers, albums, etc. 156 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: That extend those positive feelings of joy for you? Just 157 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: had this conversation with someone I'm seeing right now. She's 158 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: rather curious about my choice of music that I listen 159 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: to in my spare time, when I sleep, when I wake. 160 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: Right now, my favorite music aren't songs. You know. There's 161 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: kochhy Bells, so there's a musician. Well, there's a collective 162 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: called doctor tones and float waves, and all they do 163 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 1: is just this very calming like it's the kind of 164 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,959 Speaker 1: music you listen to if you go into a spa, 165 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: if you get a massage, sort of eperial music. But 166 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: that to me is pedestrian. I mean, anyone could do that. 167 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: These are very specific sounds and patches, like sound bowls, 168 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: koshi bells. To me, just the sound of a sound 169 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 1: bowl is the most comforting. That's what I learned in 170 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Sometimes I'll grab a few balls just, you know, 171 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: while my lady friends taking a nap or whatever. I'll 172 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: just start playing that and you can't stop. Like once 173 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 1: you do it, it's like I keep on and then 174 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: next thing you know, you're like playing sound bowls for 175 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: like two hours or arms are tired. But I often 176 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 1: make playlists, so it's not one particular album. But there 177 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: are some songs like Alice Coltrane's music calms me. Some 178 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: John Coltrane ballads do that to me. I mean I 179 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: could listen to Naima. I wish there was like a 180 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: an hour version of just Naima by John Coltrane. Don Cherry, 181 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: the father of Eagle Eye, and Nna Cherry have there's 182 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,119 Speaker 1: a meditative chant song that he has called North Brazilian 183 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: ceremonial hymn. When I first wake up in the morning, 184 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: I sing that song, and when I go to bed, 185 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 1: I also sing that song. There's Pharaoh Sanders his electric 186 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: period in the early seventies, a song called Astro Traveling, 187 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 1: a song called Summer Nights by Lennie Listen Smith, and 188 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: the Cosmic Echoes. So well, a lot of futuristic, like 189 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: afrofuturist music is what I listened to. Sir Green Down 190 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: by John L. Manet is one of my favorites. Jimmy 191 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: Hendrix's nineteen eighty three Amerman I Should Turn to Be 192 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,319 Speaker 1: is also that way. So yeah, there's a lot. Thank 193 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: you for your question. Michelle, a commenter on Spotify, said 194 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: that they really appreciated me for sharing the twenty twenty 195 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: six lock in with the Roots and forecasted a ten 196 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: from Pitchfork after I was discussing open Mike Eagles critical 197 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 1: acclaim A weekend into the year, how's it going?

So an anonymous listener reminded me 208 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: that I have a birthday this month and asked if 209 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: I have any special plans for birthday rituals that I 210 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: can share. Yes, I do have a birthday ritual. My 211 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: previous ritual was not being available. There was a moment 212 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: when I turned thirty and I was under the impression 213 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: that my peeps were going to throw this big, giant 214 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: blowout party for me. So rented a car, put a 215 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: suit on.

Normally I would book gigs in Japan. So 245 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: there was a period maybe from fifteen to twenty years 246 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: where I was not at home. I was either in 247 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: Japan or at Sun Dance. But this year I've been 248 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: doing the same thing for the last like seven years. 249 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: Is I rent out a movie theater and for twenty 250 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: four hours, well not for twenty four hours, like sixteen hours, 251 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: I show movies so and I curate them all. So 252 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 1: this year I do the same thing. Number one is 253 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: We're gonna have a cereal bar with over forty different 254 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: cereals shout out by the way, I don't know if 255 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:20,360 Speaker 1: you guys know this Post Cereal makes all of Walmart cereal, 256 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: like the Walmart brand I can't front man. The Walmart 257 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 1: brand of Cereal, which is Post Cereal is the best, 258 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: better than Captain Crunch, like literally, like who has like 259 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: French vanilla ice cream with apple pie cereal? Anyway, I 260 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: think it's called morning Glow or something like that. I 261 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: don't know, but we have a Cereal Orgy over forty 262 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: different cereals, and our hosts show classic cartoons from the seventies, sixties, seventies, 263 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 1: and eighties. I like the Animaniacs, and I also like 264 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,880 Speaker 1: Rocky and Bullweakle. They more or less show like hilarious. 265 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 1: Didn't know it was problematic then, but you know, like cartoons, 266 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: like a lot of g I Joe's stuff from the 267 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: eighties is hilarious now, Jim, I'm even catching up on 268 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: like the kind of nineties stuff that I outgrew, like 269 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: I wasn't hip with. I wasn't hip to, like Dug 270 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,239 Speaker 1: or Magic school Bus, Magic school Buses wild Yo, Like, 271 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: so I guess Magic school Bus is a cartoon in 272 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: which a school bus is inside the body of a 273 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,199 Speaker 1: kid and this kid has diarrhea and he has to 274 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: throw up. It's like a sick day. And so basically 275 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: the Magic school Bus is like stalled in mud. And 276 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: I say mud in air quotes because we know what 277 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: it is. But I was literally this kid either had 278 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: to throw it up or shit it out, and they 279 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: did that anyway. So we're showing cartoons in the morning, 280 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: and then at one o'clock we are going to have 281 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:11,199 Speaker 1: a lunch tasting menu for the seventies original version of 282 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: Willy Wanka, So everything that they eat in the film, 283 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: we're also eating out here. So we are doing the 284 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:26,959 Speaker 1: Willy Wanka Tasting Show, and then at four we are 285 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: going to show Love and Basketball, and then at six 286 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 1: thirty we're going to see the classic movie called Heat 287 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 1: with Robert De Niro and Al Pacino. And then closing, 288 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 1: I'm going to debut my Earthwood and Fire doc for 289 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: a select few. So yeah, I ran out a movie 290 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: theater and just going to watch movies all day and day. 291 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 1: I highly recommend it.
