Speaker 2: We about to be talking about.
0:47
Speaker 1: So the twenty twenty five VIAM Awards Video Music Awards
0:51
Speaker 1: went down here in New York. Starts study night as
0:55
Speaker 1: it always is. I mean, pulling up on the carpet,
0:57
Speaker 1: you had Sierra Doja. Can those you can actually had
1:00
Speaker 1: a moment on the carpet because she ate her lipstick
1:03
Speaker 1: and people are still trying to figure out how, but
1:05
Speaker 1: she looked good. You had Summer Walker pulling up on
1:08
Speaker 1: the red carpet with a new boo who is like
1:10
Speaker 1: a sixty seventy year old white guy, she said, f
1:13
Speaker 1: her type. She told us that a couple months ago,
1:15
Speaker 1: and I've actually been told because I thought this was
1:17
Speaker 1: a joke. I thought it was something to like promote
1:21
Speaker 1: the song that she has, but I've actually been told
1:23
Speaker 1: that they are actually dating. It's only been a few weeks,
1:26
Speaker 1: but she's going sugar Baby.
1:28
Speaker 2: From here on out.
1:28
Speaker 1: She is tired, okay, but we did hear some good
1:31
Speaker 1: news on the carpet because Summer Walker told us that
1:34
Speaker 1: the music is on the way.
1:36
Speaker 2: Now.
1:37
Speaker 1: Leaving the carpet and heading on into the awards, it
1:41
Speaker 1: was a night. Y'all know that there's always, like when
1:43
Speaker 1: you do VMA's or you know, whatever, the Grammys, there's
1:46
Speaker 1: always some parts of the awards ceremony.
1:49
Speaker 2: Where you're like, who the hell is this?
1:52
Speaker 1: But the crazy thing about this year's awarded are I
1:55
Speaker 1: feel like people were asking in the audience and online
1:59
Speaker 1: who is this to the wrong people like y'all know
2:04
Speaker 1: here the latest with a long the roads that we live.
2:07
Speaker 1: We thrive all things black culture, hip hop, entertainment. But
2:11
Speaker 1: I mean pop culture is my is my digest and
2:13
Speaker 1: hip hop is a popular culture. But that means we
2:17
Speaker 1: talk all things whenever it makes sense for us to do.
2:19
Speaker 1: So yesterday when I was watching the VMA's, I was
2:23
Speaker 1: just kind of like dumbfounded because I feel like whoever
2:25
Speaker 1: feeled the seats, like the de seat feelers themselves, you
2:28
Speaker 1: could tell them. People did not know who the hell
2:32
Speaker 1: a Bust the Rhymes was, and it was it was
2:35
Speaker 1: embarrassing to watch. So the night kicked off with you know,
2:39
Speaker 1: opening performances. You had l cooj who was hosting the awards,
2:42
Speaker 1: which is always like you know, seeing lo cooj anywhere
2:45
Speaker 1: as always epic.
2:46
Speaker 2: But you had lo cooj hosting the awards. It makes sense.
2:49
Speaker 2: It's very New York.
2:50
Speaker 1: They were, you know, paying tributes to some very memorable
2:52
Speaker 1: names and hip hop and the music Mariah Carey Bust
2:55
Speaker 1: the Rhymes, as I mentioned before, and Loo Cooj opens
2:59
Speaker 1: the show. Now as opens the show Doja Cat. There's
3:02
Speaker 1: like this like glitch and at first you really think Like,
3:05
Speaker 1: when I was watching, I really thought something was wrong
3:08
Speaker 1: with llokoj's broadcast.
3:09
Speaker 2: But I'm like, yo, Ello been doing this for like
3:11
Speaker 2: thirty years.
3:12
Speaker 1: At this point, there's no way that a teleprompter is
3:15
Speaker 1: going to stop him from like continuing a whole show,
3:18
Speaker 1: because he literally stopped mid sentence. But there's a glitch
3:20
Speaker 1: that comes on the screen and Doja Cat comes up.
3:23
Speaker 2: Let's take a listen. That's right, we're making history. So
3:28
Speaker 2: let's get this party starlars right now. I want to
3:31
Speaker 2: jojacat not to be rude, but I just like to interrupt.
3:34
Speaker 2: Can everyone sit down? I wanted not in that dressed.
3:40
Speaker 1: I've got something really special with my sleeve featuring me
3:43
Speaker 1: and Kenny Gg.
3:45
Speaker 2: To sit back, relax, and turn the volume out to
3:49
Speaker 2: full man.
3:51
Speaker 1: So then after this, Doja Cat goes into full performance.
3:55
Speaker 1: Now here's the beauty of like pop culture. When we
3:58
Speaker 1: get to say, like hip hop is the popular culture,
4:01
Speaker 1: I feel like there's not ever really a box of
4:04
Speaker 1: things that you can put our artists into. Because you
4:07
Speaker 1: have an artist like a Doja Cat who is extremely,
4:09
Speaker 1: extremely what some people would consider pop and she did
4:12
Speaker 1: a hell of a performance and displayed all of those
4:15
Speaker 1: chops on that stage, but also you could put ciss
4:18
Speaker 1: on her. People will argue that Doja Cat is top
4:22
Speaker 1: female rapper as well too. So watching her last night,
4:25
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, the way that the culture like you
4:28
Speaker 1: know and hip hop and our artists are able to
4:31
Speaker 1: fit mixed mingled mold and create the mold and have
4:36
Speaker 1: been doing that for so long. Because I'm looking at
4:38
Speaker 1: lokoj who was hosting the VMA's who is now there
4:40
Speaker 1: are people who don't even know Lokouj as a rapper,
4:44
Speaker 1: Like there are generations who don't understand Lokoj as the rapper.
4:47
Speaker 1: They know him as an actor, but he's here and
4:50
Speaker 1: he's hosted in vmma's. And then you have a Doja
4:52
Speaker 1: Cat who there are people who do not have rap
4:54
Speaker 1: conversations about Doja Cat. But you're looking at Dojacat on
4:58
Speaker 1: the stage and she is giving sou pop star.
5:01
Speaker 2: You know that she is.
5:02
Speaker 1: But the night carry is along and then we get
5:04
Speaker 1: into the honoring of the artist. So Mariah Carey received
5:08
Speaker 1: the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award, which is the prestigious award
5:12
Speaker 1: of the night at the VMA's. Now she received this
5:15
Speaker 1: award and she shared a few remarks. I'm gonna be honest,
5:19
Speaker 1: and I think we have these conversations all the time
5:21
Speaker 1: with these award ceremonies. I was disappointed at the VMA's
5:25
Speaker 1: by the time this part hit because I learned that
5:29
Speaker 1: Mariah Carey had never received a Video Music Award, neither
5:32
Speaker 1: had Busta Rhymes. Which it's sad that I have to
5:37
Speaker 1: explain why a Busta Rhymes not receiving a Video Music
5:41
Speaker 1: Award ever in his career right, thirty plus years of
5:45
Speaker 1: his career is insane.
5:47
Speaker 2: But we'll get into it when we get there. But
5:48
Speaker 2: let's say, listen to Mariah.
5:49
Speaker 3: Carey, thank you so much MTV for giving me the
5:53
Speaker 3: Vanguard Award. I can't believe I'm getting my first VMA tonight.
6:01
Speaker 4: I just have one question, what in the same hell
6:05
Speaker 4: were you waiting for?
6:10
Speaker 3: I'm kidding, I love you, I'MDJA, I love you.
6:12
Speaker 5: Oh You're so much. This is amazing.
6:14
Speaker 4: Being here brings back amazing memories like when I presented
6:18
Speaker 4: Ell cool Ja his Vandguard Award, or when Whitney Houston
6:23
Speaker 4: and I opened the show where a foe standoff and
6:27
Speaker 4: we were both like had our addresses and we were.
6:28
Speaker 2: Like try it on men.
6:30
Speaker 6: It was a moment.
6:33
Speaker 4: Music videos are my way.
6:35
Speaker 2: Of life now, Mariah Carey.
6:37
Speaker 1: In the beginning of that clip, she's speaking to someone
6:40
Speaker 1: and saying, I'm so proud of you. She was talking
6:41
Speaker 1: to Ariana Grande because Ariana Grande presented her with the award,
6:45
Speaker 1: which Ariana Grande had talked about on the carpet prior
6:49
Speaker 1: to even getting in the venue. How excited she was
6:51
Speaker 1: to see Mariah Carray. Everybody was excited, you know that
6:54
Speaker 1: night it's Mariah Carey, Like everybody was excited. Riah Carey performed,
6:58
Speaker 1: She did a bunch of her different hits.
7:00
Speaker 5: Now.
7:00
Speaker 2: I thought it was fire.
7:02
Speaker 1: That she opened up with the Fantasy remix with Odib
7:05
Speaker 1: because it was very New York, very hip hop, and
7:07
Speaker 1: I think sometimes because you know, again we're talking about
7:10
Speaker 1: the ability of hip hop artists and you know, R
7:13
Speaker 1: and B artists to almost be like chameleions and like
7:17
Speaker 1: broaden their wings and explain and expand. People have this
7:20
Speaker 1: conversation about j Loo all the time, like what odd
7:23
Speaker 1: or what nod does j Lo owe to the culture
7:25
Speaker 1: because she began in a realm that was very hip hop,
7:28
Speaker 1: But now j.
7:29
Speaker 2: Lo is looked at as its huge pop culture.
7:31
Speaker 1: Artist, but when you talk about Mariah Carey, the same
7:34
Speaker 1: can be said, like there she is huge, Mariah Carey
7:37
Speaker 1: is Mariah Carey.
7:38
Speaker 2: She is miss Christmas Song.
7:40
Speaker 1: But when you think about her beginnings, Mariah Carey has
7:42
Speaker 1: always been a fan of Rat Like always, some of
7:45
Speaker 1: her biggest songs were inspired by like Wu Tang. I
7:48
Speaker 1: believe it was the Wu Tang Cream. One of the
7:51
Speaker 1: very first songs she did with Jermaine Duprie was inspired
7:54
Speaker 1: by that song. But I thought it was fired that
7:57
Speaker 1: she opened up with the Fantasy remix and she let
7:59
Speaker 1: Odib's voice to be heard on that stage, you know,
8:02
Speaker 1: recipes to him, because she she could have cut that
8:04
Speaker 1: part out, But I think it's her paying tribute to
8:07
Speaker 1: her roots here in New York, understanding where she came from.
8:11
Speaker 1: She also did Honey. She also did It's like that,
8:14
Speaker 1: y'all we Belong together. She did a whole ton of
8:17
Speaker 1: the things, okay, and then after that, you know, show continues.
8:20
Speaker 1: But the next big moment, in my opinion, you have
8:23
Speaker 1: Bust the Rhymes, who does a whole metal lea songs.
8:26
Speaker 1: He brings out patpoofs he brings out Gloverla and join
8:30
Speaker 1: the Lucas. People were very surprised to see those two.
8:32
Speaker 1: But he also gives a speech. In his speech, he
8:35
Speaker 1: remembers Ananda Lewis, who was a huge MTV VJ, that
8:40
Speaker 1: there was no mention of her from the pre show,
8:43
Speaker 1: to the carpet to the entire show itself. And they
8:46
Speaker 1: did a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne. So it's not like
8:48
Speaker 1: they didn't want to do these tributes to, you know,
8:50
Speaker 1: people who have recently passed. They did a whole tribute
8:53
Speaker 1: to Ozzy Osbourne. There were a lot of people who
8:55
Speaker 1: felt like there should have been a tribute for Ananda
8:57
Speaker 1: because she was empty. Like she was the VJ, she
9:01
Speaker 1: was the face she ushered in so many especially like
9:04
Speaker 1: the music that was ours, the black music, that hip hop.
9:08
Speaker 1: She fought for our music there, which is why Bust
9:10
Speaker 1: the Rhymes took the time. Let's take a listen to
9:11
Speaker 1: Bust the Rhymes.
9:12
Speaker 5: Thank you, King Elle, thank you for being here, my hero,
9:18
Speaker 5: one of my greatest inspirations, the reason I wrote my
9:21
Speaker 5: first rhyme, Love Coach J. Y'all know I usually do
9:27
Speaker 5: these long speeches. I'm not gonna do one today, but
9:31
Speaker 5: next time, y'all take thirty five years to give me
9:34
Speaker 5: one of these. Y'all gonna let me talk as long
9:37
Speaker 5: as I want, but let me get straight to it.
9:44
Speaker 5: See er, I love you, Yo, Gotti. Salute Mona Scott Young.
9:50
Speaker 5: Thank you for being the mother of my career. I
9:52
Speaker 5: want to thank my mother. I want to thank my father.
9:54
Speaker 5: The rest of peace. Dad, what praise is due to
9:56
Speaker 5: the most hot God is the greatest. I want to
9:59
Speaker 5: thank my beauty with children.
10:08
Speaker 1: I want to take a minute because so this is
10:10
Speaker 1: what I've been trying to figure out. Right, he says,
10:12
Speaker 1: the next time, you'll take thirty five years to give
10:14
Speaker 1: me right. And when he said that, I'm watching the
10:16
Speaker 1: show and I'm instantly like, wait, I know Buster Rhymes
10:20
Speaker 1: ain't saying this is the first time. He then touched
10:22
Speaker 1: a movement a VMA award. There's no bust the rhyme's career,
10:27
Speaker 1: I mean, the music is epic. The career span of
10:30
Speaker 1: his career is epic. The again we talk about the
10:33
Speaker 1: the ability to move in shake. He's gone from music
10:36
Speaker 1: to acting to like you know, all of that is epic.
10:39
Speaker 1: But he is known for being the architect of the
10:43
Speaker 1: music video for his era, there is no it's him,
10:46
Speaker 1: and there's Missy Elliott, and then there's so many acts
10:49
Speaker 1: to follow, Like we wouldn't have Luther Chris doing what
10:52
Speaker 1: he did and move get out the way, we wouldn't
10:54
Speaker 1: have look. People even talk about the babies music videos
10:56
Speaker 1: and how over the top they are. We wouldn't have
10:59
Speaker 1: those moments without bust the rhymes making it a normal
11:03
Speaker 1: thing for you to really see all of the effects
11:06
Speaker 1: and the big and the boldness of a music video.
11:09
Speaker 1: So I'm like, I know he is not saying what
11:11
Speaker 1: I think he is saying.
11:12
Speaker 2: And then I looked it up.
11:13
Speaker 1: Not only did I look it up, but I couldn't
11:15
Speaker 1: because you know, Google gonna tell you anything. And now
11:18
Speaker 1: I don't even be trusting Google AI anymore. Google AI
11:21
Speaker 1: and staring me wrong a couple of times. But when
11:23
Speaker 1: I looked it up, it gives you a breakdown from
11:26
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six all the way to two thousand and five,
11:29
Speaker 1: And said, I saw nominated in nineteen ninety six for
11:32
Speaker 1: Woo I Got you all in check. Then in nineteen
11:35
Speaker 1: ninety eight put your hands where my eyes could see
11:37
Speaker 1: he was nominated for Breakthrough Video, Best Male Video, Best
11:41
Speaker 1: Rap Video, and then Best Choreography, and then in ninety nine,
11:46
Speaker 1: What's it going to be featuring Janna Jackson, which is
11:49
Speaker 1: like I can't even believe that I'm saying this out
11:51
Speaker 1: of my mouth that these videos never won these awards.
11:54
Speaker 1: He was nominated for Best hip Hop Video, Best Direction,
11:58
Speaker 1: Best Special Effects is bust the rhymes, the special effects,
12:02
Speaker 1: the art Direction, Best Art Direction, give me some more nominated,
12:06
Speaker 1: Best Breakthrough Video. I can go on and on and
12:08
Speaker 1: on and on nominated, and I didn't see one anywhere,
12:12
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yo, this is no way, like Wikipedia
12:15
Speaker 1: and Google have to be wrong. So I hit bus
12:17
Speaker 1: Rhymes team and I said, hey, I'm watching the VMA's
12:21
Speaker 1: right now, and bus Rhymes just said the next And
12:23
Speaker 1: this is another thing too, He said the next time,
12:26
Speaker 1: y'all take the thirty five years to you know, I'm
12:28
Speaker 1: a talk as long as I want, because Bus Rhymes
12:30
Speaker 1: does give his long motivational speeches whenever he's honored, and
12:34
Speaker 1: that's been a thing over the last couple of years.
12:36
Speaker 1: But it was very jokingly about it. Mariah Carey, it
12:39
Speaker 1: was very jokingly about it. There are huge artists that
12:42
Speaker 1: careers have literally changed the way people do things and
12:46
Speaker 1: go about their music videos and their careers.
12:48
Speaker 2: I'm like what.
12:51
Speaker 1: They hit me back and they say, oh no, Lauren,
12:53
Speaker 1: You're one hundred percent correct. That was his first time
12:56
Speaker 1: ever receiving an award on the VMMA stage. He is
12:59
Speaker 1: not dominated, be never won before. This year in twenty
13:02
Speaker 1: twenty five, he took home the first ever Rock the
13:06
Speaker 1: Bells Visionary Award. And for those of you guys who
13:08
Speaker 1: don't know what Rock the Bells is, that is a
13:10
Speaker 1: it's an organization, but.
13:11
Speaker 2: It's also a whole music festival.
13:13
Speaker 1: And you know, they have a platform as well across
13:16
Speaker 1: digital radio created by l COOLJ. And the reason why
13:21
Speaker 1: Rock the Bells is so special is because it was
13:24
Speaker 1: created to make sure that things like what I'm talking
13:26
Speaker 1: about don't happen. He is giving platform and continuing to
13:29
Speaker 1: help artists who come from certain time periods and certain
13:33
Speaker 1: errands be able to still work and get there just do.
13:35
Speaker 1: He gives them percentages of his festival. He has helped create,
13:39
Speaker 1: you know, radio shows for people like Rock Sanne, Rock Sanne,
13:41
Speaker 1: like Roxanne Chatte like. He does amazing work with the platform.
13:46
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if you know at this point
13:48
Speaker 1: Lo COOLJ has so much pool when it comes to
13:51
Speaker 1: VMA's and all the things that he fought for this
13:53
Speaker 1: award himself, because I don't understand who over there at
13:56
Speaker 1: MTV has never understood why Bust the Rhymes should be,
14:00
Speaker 1: you know, deservant of a Video Music Award. But thank
14:05
Speaker 1: god that somebody got smart and listening to a locuj
14:07
Speaker 1: this year, because what in the hell are we doing?
14:09
Speaker 2: If Buster Rohn's they never got that award.
14:11
Speaker 1: Now, speaking of what the hell are we doing, We're
14:14
Speaker 1: gonna take a little segue here because one of the
14:17
Speaker 1: final moments, or not final moments, but the other big
14:19
Speaker 1: moments of the evening was Gonna. I was surprised to
14:23
Speaker 1: see the Video Music Awards throw Gonna so much.
14:27
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm a Gonna fan. I listened to his music.
14:29
Speaker 1: I know, you know Last One, his album is doing
14:32
Speaker 1: very very well right now, but they centered a lot
14:35
Speaker 1: around him. So Gonna dropped an under armour commercial literally
14:39
Speaker 1: online like a preview of it right before.
14:42
Speaker 2: The VMA's begin.
14:44
Speaker 1: Then Gonna walk the carpet of the VMA Awards. He
14:48
Speaker 1: looked amazing. And then there was a halftime performance that
14:52
Speaker 1: happened for the first time ever at the VMA's and
14:55
Speaker 1: it was gonna and under armour. Now I say this
14:59
Speaker 1: because I I think the timing is very timely for
15:02
Speaker 1: the VMA's. But it's ironic that all of this young
15:04
Speaker 1: Thug Gunna stuff is happening and I don't know how.
15:06
Speaker 2: Far out you plan, you know, a VMA award.
15:09
Speaker 1: And something like what Gunna did, But a lot of
15:11
Speaker 1: this stuff is pre taped too, so I don't know,
15:14
Speaker 1: you know what the timeline was, but I'm.
15:15
Speaker 2: Like, hmm, this is very timely.
15:18
Speaker 1: Another way to get us talking about the VMA's, let's
15:20
Speaker 1: take a listen to Gunna's halftime performance.
15:22
Speaker 2: Time at the.
15:22
Speaker 6: VMA's is about to be a problem.
15:36
Speaker 2: But yeah, I thought that was really really timely.
15:39
Speaker 1: I mean again, don't get me wrong, I know Gunna
15:42
Speaker 1: is great music artists. I'm not saying the VMA's needed
15:45
Speaker 1: the hype, but the way that they inserted themselves in
15:48
Speaker 1: that conversation, because literally, young thug just sat down with
15:51
Speaker 1: Bank out of Atlanta and talked about how Gunna says
15:55
Speaker 1: literally nothing to speak his piece.
15:57
Speaker 2: On their whole situation and explain what he did.
16:00
Speaker 1: And then the next time we see Gunna he's literally
16:03
Speaker 1: saying absolutely nothing, acting like life is all good.
16:06
Speaker 2: I mean, and it's been looking all good.
16:08
Speaker 1: He just did the five K raise, he said, the
16:10
Speaker 1: VMA's on the carpet with his girl looking good. He
16:13
Speaker 1: got the under Armored partnership right on time for you know,
16:16
Speaker 1: this whole mental health and mental and physical wellness branding
16:20
Speaker 1: that he's been doing. He living life like it's golden
16:22
Speaker 1: right now. But I just thought it was like very
16:24
Speaker 1: ironic that the VMA's was kind of able to play
16:28
Speaker 1: into that whole you know, and Gunna ain't saying nothing
16:33
Speaker 1: conversation that we had been having because of the sit
16:36
Speaker 1: down and interview, the exclusive interview that a thug had
16:38
Speaker 1: just did with Bank for the Perspective show out of Atlanta.
16:42
Speaker 2: But that was the VMA's, you know, some honorable mentions.
16:45
Speaker 2: Kenny G performed.
16:46
Speaker 1: When Doja Kat performed, he was, you know, the music
16:49
Speaker 1: accompanying her. Sabrina Carpenter performed as well. I actually love
16:53
Speaker 1: Sabrina Carpenter, and I'm not like, like I don't really
16:56
Speaker 1: get into all of the girls, Like I can't really
16:58
Speaker 1: tell us Swift. I like her the business, but I
17:00
Speaker 1: would never just like turn on her music. But I
17:03
Speaker 1: actually like Sabrina Carpenter and when I watched her performances,
17:06
Speaker 1: said that she's just so cute. I like, I like
17:07
Speaker 1: to look at her lot on Ice, Spice came out
17:10
Speaker 1: as well. You guys know, they have the new song
17:12
Speaker 1: that they're promoting. We still don't even know how they
17:15
Speaker 1: link back up because they like fake hated each other forever,
17:17
Speaker 1: but they were on stage as well, playing into that.
17:20
Speaker 2: And this was the first year ever that the show
17:23
Speaker 2: was on CBS.
17:24
Speaker 1: This was the first time ever, you guys know that
17:26
Speaker 1: they just did that whole new merger with CBS and
17:29
Speaker 1: sky Dance and all the things.
17:30
Speaker 2: So good show overall.
17:31
Speaker 1: I just, you know, I think that this show really
17:33
Speaker 1: screamed and echoed just how amazing we are as like
17:37
Speaker 1: black culture creators and entertainment, and just.
17:41
Speaker 2: How slow the world still is.
17:43
Speaker 1: Like I still cannot believe that this was the first
17:46
Speaker 1: year that Buster Rhymes, mister video, the architect of the
17:51
Speaker 1: music video storytelling. This is the first year that he
17:55
Speaker 1: received a video music award. And it wasn't even I
17:57
Speaker 1: mean it was a video music award. He got a
17:59
Speaker 1: movement but technical it wasn't even for like a video.
18:02
Speaker 2: It was for his whole career.
18:04
Speaker 1: No listen, I'm gonna just let it go because I
18:06
Speaker 1: could go for a whole another hour. This has been
18:07
Speaker 1: a latest with Lord of the Roads. I hope you
18:09
Speaker 1: guys enjoyed the breakdown. If you watch the VMAs, if
18:11
Speaker 1: you tuned in, you know, let me know how you
18:14
Speaker 1: feel about it. I do think that it was a
18:16
Speaker 1: huge miss for the VMA's not to at least show
18:19
Speaker 1: a photo and take a moment in you know, the
18:22
Speaker 1: the venue for Ananda Lewis. I also think just crazy
18:26
Speaker 1: for all the artists like a Mariah Carey and a
18:28
Speaker 1: Bust Rhymes. You I'm gonna say it's for the fifth
18:30
Speaker 1: time to be able to get on a stage and
18:31
Speaker 1: talk about what they have yet to receive up until
18:33
Speaker 1: this point in twenty twenty five. These are artists who've
18:35
Speaker 1: been around since before I was even freaking born.
18:38
Speaker 2: That was crazy as well.
18:39
Speaker 1: But I mean, maybe, look, do we appreciate the inclusion
18:42
Speaker 1: in the finally of the moment, Like finally, thirty five
18:46
Speaker 1: years later, Bust Rhimes is getting his just through on
18:48
Speaker 1: that stage. Finally, all this time later, Mariah Carey can say, Hey,
18:52
Speaker 1: I have a movement do we care to, you know,
18:55
Speaker 1: give him the nod and say thank you, or do
18:57
