- 0:30Speaker 1: of the grind. So if you cannot tell right now,
- 0:36Speaker 1: I am fighting for my life to even get through
- 0:39Speaker 1: this podcast episode. We had such a great time in Atlanta,
- 0:44Speaker 1: like I, oh my god, this was my second year
- 0:48Speaker 1: at the Black Effect Podcast festival that Charlemagne throws for
- 0:53Speaker 1: Black Effects the podcast network, which is how you guys
- 0:56Speaker 1: are even able to hear me right now. And shout
- 0:58Speaker 1: out to Dolly Bishop who's in the other network, who
- 1:01Speaker 1: you know, she is like superwoman of that whole production
- 1:06Speaker 1: of the event. This past weekend, it went down in
- 1:09Speaker 1: Atlanta at Poeman yards Man. There were so many people
- 1:14Speaker 1: that popped out, like little Duval uh Celo and Kate
- 1:19Speaker 1: Michelle sat down with drink TIMPs so Noriega in DJFN
- 1:24Speaker 1: Kresha Young Miami sat down with Crystal Renee Hayslett keep
- 1:28Speaker 1: his Positive Sweetie. Also of this, Zatina Papus and Clarissa came.
- 1:34Speaker 1: Clarissa wasn't even like a part of the live podcast,
- 1:39Speaker 1: but she did end up on stage because Envy and
- 1:43Speaker 1: Charlemagne brought out like just some of the celebrities who
- 1:47Speaker 1: were there. So Little Duval performed because he recently celebrated
- 1:51Speaker 1: the fact that Living My Best Life went platinum his
- 1:54Speaker 1: song I'm Living my Best Life, and I thought that
- 1:57Speaker 1: that was dope, but to see the crowd react to
- 1:59Speaker 1: him in real time. I've never been to any of
- 2:02Speaker 1: his comedy shows or like, you know, I know he
- 2:04Speaker 1: does Little Duvalde in person.
- 2:07Speaker 2: I've only seen things online.
- 2:08Speaker 1: Right, Oh my god, people went crazy when he came out.
- 2:31Speaker 1: The people love I thought it was just my mom
- 2:33Speaker 1: that loved litt Duvald down, but the people love him, damn.
- 2:38Speaker 2: But yeah.
- 2:39Speaker 1: So Clarissa also popped out with pet Poofs and I
- 2:43Speaker 1: saw that going viral online or whatever.
- 2:45Speaker 2: And I feel like every time Clorisa goes.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Viral now ever since she began dating pet Poofs, it's
- 2:50Speaker 1: always for you know, people having a conversation about what
- 2:53Speaker 1: they don't like about her when it comes to her
- 2:55Speaker 1: look or her relationship or whatever. And what happens in
- 3:01Speaker 1: real time, like in real life with Clarissa is a
- 3:04Speaker 1: lot different than what happens online.
- 3:07Speaker 2: So she came to the festival, she was backstage.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Clarisa has always been one of the nicest people to
- 3:13Speaker 1: me that I've you know, like celebrity wise, that I've met.
- 3:18Speaker 1: You know, when I first got back on the Breakfast
- 3:20Speaker 1: Club and things were kind of going a little crazy
- 3:23Speaker 1: and everything was happening, Clarissa had actually reached out to
- 3:26Speaker 1: me then and just you know, sent me some like
- 3:29Speaker 1: positive words and you know, like you know, not to
- 3:32Speaker 1: live in a noise and oh my god, like yes,
- 3:36Speaker 1: same says same because I watched people react to her
- 3:39Speaker 1: in real time when she pulled up at the festival
- 3:42Speaker 1: where she went and walked through the black marketplace of
- 3:44Speaker 1: the black vendors that were set up, and fans were
- 3:47Speaker 1: going crazy, and not only for her, they were going crazy.
- 3:53Speaker 1: I mean, the whole day was felling so much love
- 3:55Speaker 1: and people were really locked in. But like fans were
- 3:58Speaker 1: really excited to see her and honestly to see Patpoofs
- 4:02Speaker 1: with her like they and I think it's because you
- 4:05Speaker 1: see it online so much so to be a you know,
- 4:08Speaker 1: a spectator of the sport, no put intendent because we're
- 4:11Speaker 1: talking about the female quote here, and then to see
- 4:14Speaker 1: you know her in real life with Patpoofs as they
- 4:18Speaker 1: you know, walk throughout the event like they could barely
- 4:21Speaker 1: get through the crowded people. That's how much love they
- 4:24Speaker 1: were getting at the event, honestly. But she came out
- 4:27Speaker 1: on stage. You have Cheryl Underwood on stage as well,
- 4:30Speaker 1: DJ MV and Charlamagne on stage, and they're just having
- 4:33Speaker 1: a conversation real quick, like real real quick, just bringing
- 4:36Speaker 1: out a bunch of the the you know, the people
- 4:38Speaker 1: that are intendents. And let's say, listen to Cheryl Underwood's
- 4:41Speaker 1: conversation with Courses. I'm like you spatch West and you
- 4:45Speaker 1: chockling me taking by y'all, thank you very much.
- 4:49Speaker 2: Are you saying no no with Pat Poos? Okay, hold on,
- 4:52Speaker 2: no show?
- 4:56Speaker 3: Wait wait, but y'all stop talking papoos on playing right?
- 5:04Speaker 2: Respect makes you ask to stay.
- 5:07Speaker 1: I don't know how I missed that moment, like in
- 5:10Speaker 1: real time. I don't know what they had me backstage
- 5:12Speaker 1: prepping for but I am pissed that I missed that
- 5:15Speaker 1: in real time.
- 5:16Speaker 2: But me, yeah, it was just such a great time.
- 5:18Speaker 1: Ce Lo Kate Michelle took to Nourri and Ori E
- 5:23Speaker 1: and DJ Fne Drink Champs and their conversation range from
- 5:27Speaker 1: a lot of different things. To be honest, I wish
- 5:30Speaker 1: that they had more time, and I wish that they
- 5:33Speaker 1: had done one interview with one person versus two people
- 5:38Speaker 1: within forty minutes. Like I feel like they didn't really
- 5:40Speaker 1: get a chance to dive as deep as they normally
- 5:43Speaker 1: do on the show, which I understand. You know, when
- 5:44Speaker 1: you watch a live podcast, you're not like you're not
- 5:46Speaker 1: gonna get everything that you would normally get when.
- 5:48Speaker 2: You watch them because it's live. Timing is different, like
- 5:51Speaker 2: you know, But I.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Do wish they did one person versus the two, even
- 5:56Speaker 1: though both of those people are great interviews for Drink Champs.
- 6:00Speaker 1: But yeah, So they had a conversation and they were
- 6:03Speaker 1: talking to ce Lo about whether Landa is running hip
- 6:06Speaker 1: hop right now and the way he hesitated, I'm like, yo,
- 6:10Speaker 1: he want to say no so bad, but like as
- 6:12Speaker 1: like og Atlanta, he can't.
- 6:13Speaker 2: Let's take of the same I think.
- 6:17Speaker 4: No.
- 6:18Speaker 2: I think.
- 6:20Speaker 4: It's like a having an intermission.
- 6:22Speaker 3: Right then, I think everybody in the concession instead, you know,
- 6:31Speaker 3: but you know the vibe.
- 6:33Speaker 4: Man, its just it's supposed to be transcending, transferable. Touch
- 6:38Speaker 4: the next man, touch the next person, the next region,
- 6:41Speaker 4: the next wave, style, trend, et cetera. You know what
- 6:45Speaker 4: I mean, like inspire it. You know what I mean,
- 6:47Speaker 4: like a lot of the times, Man, the industry is
- 6:50Speaker 4: like a roller coaster ride. Let's say six flames. You're
- 6:52Speaker 4: gonna ride the scream of Shade. You're gonna wait your line.
- 6:56Speaker 4: You're gonna be anticipating, you know, you know, you're gonna
- 7:00Speaker 4: be scared. You're gonna be thrill about a minute and
- 7:03Speaker 4: a half straight up for however long it is, right,
- 7:06Speaker 4: Just like damn, I'm waiting forever for some shit that
- 7:08Speaker 4: just Now's a minute. There's some seconds, right or it seems.
- 7:12Speaker 4: And you leave out, you go back around, and the
- 7:15Speaker 4: line is just as long, if not longer. And if
- 7:17Speaker 4: you want to ride that right and again, you go.
- 7:19Speaker 4: If you want to ride that ride.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Again, you got to get back in line. That's it.
- 7:23Speaker 4: And I think life is a lot like that. But
- 7:25Speaker 4: the industry is especially like that, So let it be
- 7:28Speaker 4: you know what I'm.
- 7:28Speaker 5: Saying, No, no, no, they always look over Memphis. I
- 7:32Speaker 5: feel like Memphis is having the time in hip hoop
- 7:35Speaker 5: right now, and we do have three six Mafia, you know,
- 7:39Speaker 5: and I feel like a lot of the sound of
- 7:41Speaker 5: that type of hip hop it was, you know, took
- 7:44Speaker 5: for them, they really didn't get.
- 7:45Speaker 2: I feel like all.
- 7:46Speaker 5: The acknowledgement three six my feel deserves when it comes
- 7:49Speaker 5: to hip hop and being in the South, and right now,
- 7:53Speaker 5: I feel like the hip hop artist from Memphis right now,
- 8:00Speaker 5: you got push and you still got off, you got
- 8:03Speaker 5: Keddy Money, You've got you got finesse. You know, you
- 8:08Speaker 5: have some really talented lyriccists right now that everyone is
- 8:13Speaker 5: listening to and they have that old school Memphis.
- 8:15Speaker 1: Sound and then they throw you know, they throw it
- 8:18Speaker 1: to Kay Michelle because Key Michelle jumps in and she's
- 8:21Speaker 1: having a conversation about the fact that Memphis is where's
- 8:24Speaker 1: at right now musically in the moment that they're having.
- 8:27Speaker 1: But one of the people that she bigs up is
- 8:29Speaker 1: kender Man, who is a female rapper who I've been like,
- 8:34Speaker 1: I love kend the Man. Ken the Man pops her
- 8:36Speaker 1: s Hi t Okay. Kender Man is a you know,
- 8:39Speaker 1: she's a young female rapper.
- 8:42Speaker 2: I feel like a lot.
- 8:43Speaker 1: I thought the massive new KNDO Man, but Nori and
- 8:46Speaker 1: DJ Fin didn't know who she was.
- 8:48Speaker 2: But Kem Michelle showed a lot of love.
- 8:50Speaker 1: Let's say, listen Kingdom Man and you're going through something
- 8:53Speaker 1: right now, Ladies, you can put on Kenderman from top
- 8:57Speaker 1: to bottom.
- 8:58Speaker 5: And go through it like when you would put the trainer,
- 9:00Speaker 5: when you would put all them type brothers Ken and
- 9:03Speaker 5: the man is that right now? And watching her grow,
- 9:07Speaker 5: watching her shows grow like love her as a new artist,
- 9:11Speaker 5: love him.
- 9:12Speaker 1: You also had you know, Mona Don't call Me White
- 9:15Speaker 1: Girl on the stage.
- 9:17Speaker 3: You had.
- 9:19Speaker 1: The five to twenty podcast, you had Gritton Eggs Like.
- 9:23Speaker 1: It was just good to see some of your favorite
- 9:26Speaker 1: people that talk about all the things all the time
- 9:29Speaker 1: in person like and I as like, as a fan
- 9:32Speaker 1: of podcasts and a fan of some of these people,
- 9:35Speaker 1: I went out and sat in the crowd and watched
- 9:36Speaker 1: her as much as I could. Hosting this year because
- 9:38Speaker 1: I hosted it along with DJ nbsh Al, I mean
- 9:41Speaker 1: hosting this year was a bit different. Last year, I
- 9:44Speaker 1: got to introduce a panel, and then I was able
- 9:47Speaker 1: to actually kind of like watch the show a bit
- 9:49Speaker 1: more and you know, like experience like the.
- 9:51Speaker 2: Crowd a bit more.
- 9:52Speaker 1: I didn't really get that much of an opportunity this
- 9:55Speaker 1: year to do that all that. I tried so shout
- 9:57Speaker 1: out to all the low Riders that I saw at
- 9:58Speaker 1: the Podcast Festival. But yeah, just an amazing day. I
- 10:03Speaker 1: think it's just beautiful to see something grow in real time.
- 10:07Speaker 1: And again, I just started attending last year and they've
- 10:10Speaker 1: been doing this before that, and I'm talking about growth,
- 10:12Speaker 1: So I'm excited to see where they go next year
- 10:14Speaker 1: and how even bigger it gets next year.
- 10:16Speaker 2: But one of the things that I love is that
- 10:17Speaker 2: I felt like the audience was.
- 10:18Speaker 1: So locked into the conversations this year, which is amazing
- 10:22Speaker 1: because you learned so much getting to watch the pros
- 10:25Speaker 1: do it in real time and then getting to listen
- 10:27Speaker 1: to some of the panels and all that. So I
- 10:29Speaker 1: didn't hold that everybody was able to take away something
- 10:31Speaker 1: and people enjoyed themselves and had a great time. Thanks
- 10:35Speaker 1: to everybody that bought my merch. The brown Gargrinding merch
- 10:37Speaker 1: was in the Black Effects Store. Thank you guys so much.
- 10:40Speaker 1: There is a cold running live right now. Just because
- 10:44Speaker 1: I felt so much love around the merch, I wanted
- 10:47Speaker 1: to say thank y'all, So I'm making some things even
- 10:49Speaker 1: cheaper for y'all to shop.
- 10:51Speaker 2: It's cold BGG love b gg love.
- 10:55Speaker 1: Spell l Obe browngargrinding dot com to get some percentages
- 11:01Speaker 1: off of the merch as you're shopping at checkout. And
- 11:05Speaker 1: that is why I'm here struggling right now doing this
- 11:07Speaker 1: podcast because I am exhausted. My body is exhausted, my
- 11:12Speaker 1: voice is exhausted. But I'm just grateful to even be
- 11:16Speaker 1: able to, Like I love being in situations where like
- 11:18Speaker 1: you're amongst the great, so you have no choice but
- 11:20Speaker 1: to learn. And that's how the Black Effect Podcast Festival
- 11:23Speaker 1: fils every single year. So grateful to have experienced that
- 11:26Speaker 1: with the team in Atlanta. Now, another thing I did
- 11:30Speaker 1: while I was in Atlanta, I went to go see
- 11:32Speaker 1: the Michael Jackson movie. I want to go see the
- 11:34Speaker 1: Michael biopic. And you know, I saw, you know, all
- 11:39Speaker 1: of the headlines and the conversations about the fact that
- 11:42Speaker 1: the fact that the Michael biopic became the number one
- 11:46Speaker 1: movie in the world, the biggest opening ever globally after
- 11:52Speaker 1: it grossed over two hundred million dollars. Now this means
- 11:56Speaker 1: that it outgrows nearly all of the films in twenty
- 11:59Speaker 1: twenty six period so far. But I want to go
- 12:02Speaker 1: see the movie, and I'm gonna be honest with y'all,
- 12:04Speaker 1: like I don't understand the critics reviews, and I'm gonna
- 12:10Speaker 1: tell you guys why, Like I understand why there's pushback
- 12:13Speaker 1: about what's not in the film, but I don't agree
- 12:16Speaker 1: with the critics that the stuff that should have been
- 12:17Speaker 1: added or not that I don't agree with them, but
- 12:20Speaker 1: I don't see why the critics solely focused on the
- 12:23Speaker 1: sexual assault allegations not being included in Michael's story, because
- 12:28Speaker 1: I feel like there was so much more that I
- 12:30Speaker 1: wanted to see in the story before you.
- 12:32Speaker 2: Even got to that time period.
- 12:35Speaker 1: So originally I was supposed to see the Michael movie
- 12:38Speaker 1: Friday evening when I first landed in Atlanta. A lot
- 12:42Speaker 1: of my friends and my family flew in because they
- 12:45Speaker 1: loved the podcast festivals. Will they come? They've come both
- 12:48Speaker 1: years now that I've been a part of it. So
- 12:50Speaker 1: we've been out to dinner. We got there, things were
- 12:52Speaker 1: moving so slow with our service and we were just
- 12:54Speaker 1: having a good time.
- 12:55Speaker 2: We end up not making it to the movie.
- 12:56Speaker 1: Then the podcast festival was Saturday, so Sunday before I
- 13:00Speaker 1: flew out, I did a matt in a movie and
- 13:04Speaker 1: I didn't get to see anybody dancing, you know, in
- 13:06Speaker 1: front of the screen like my movie theater.
- 13:08Speaker 2: They were very chill.
- 13:09Speaker 1: There were some people dressed up. But the movie was amazing.
- 13:12Speaker 1: The movie felt like a hug. The movie made you
- 13:16Speaker 1: like I was like smilling and warm the whole time
- 13:18Speaker 1: because I'm like, man, like, we just we don't have
- 13:21Speaker 1: this greatness anymore. Like the way Michael was so intentional
- 13:25Speaker 1: about his career, you know, shaping his like his his
- 13:30Speaker 1: his brand, and the way people received him and received
- 13:34Speaker 1: information about him and his mystique, and the way he
- 13:39Speaker 1: didn't take for granted what was happening in his life
- 13:43Speaker 1: and the gift that God gave him. But more importantly,
- 13:46Speaker 1: the ability to reach all people, not just black people,
- 13:48Speaker 1: with all people because of the platform and the amount
- 13:52Speaker 1: of success and the amount of fans that he had
- 13:54Speaker 1: grown was like it was the one of the.
- 13:57Speaker 2: Best lessons in understanding your why.
- 14:03Speaker 1: And just to see how rooted in family he was,
- 14:06Speaker 1: like even to his detriment at some point, to see
- 14:09Speaker 1: how rooted in family he was.
- 14:11Speaker 2: I think, you know, the goal of this movie, from everything.
- 14:13Speaker 1: I've watched with the cast and read, was to humanize
- 14:17Speaker 1: him a bit more. And I think that there have
- 14:19Speaker 1: been things that have humanized him. But I think because
- 14:21Speaker 1: Michael Jackson is so famous, even all these years after
- 14:25Speaker 1: his death, it's almost like he's a fairy tale, Like
- 14:28Speaker 1: he's not a real person. And the conversation has you know,
- 14:33Speaker 1: been for the last few years about the allegations and
- 14:35Speaker 1: people resuing and refining lawsuits.
- 14:37Speaker 2: And you know all of that.
- 14:39Speaker 1: I think that we get lost in all of that
- 14:41Speaker 1: stuff and forget just how god since that man's talent
- 14:50Speaker 1: was and and the fact that like we will never
- 14:54Speaker 1: experience that again. That's all I kept thinking, is what
- 14:56Speaker 1: a time to be alive, to be watching Michael Jackson
- 15:02Speaker 1: as his star roles and you're seeing him a massive,
- 15:06Speaker 1: crazy level of wealth and success in all of these
- 15:10Speaker 1: things that man like ah, And then I was thinking about,
- 15:16Speaker 1: you know, all of the crazy comparisons to Michael Jackson,
- 15:18Speaker 1: and I'm like, never, I don't ever want to hear
- 15:22Speaker 1: that again. Like this movie really just it's just such
- 15:25Speaker 1: a feel good hug around who he was as a person,
- 15:30Speaker 1: what he stood on, and how he was blessed because
- 15:33Speaker 1: even in the worst of times, he stood on that
- 15:37Speaker 1: and what he did for others and just how important
- 15:39Speaker 1: that was. With everything that he had and everything he
- 15:43Speaker 1: had going on, it was always about other people. But
- 15:47Speaker 1: there's a lot that I wish that they had gotten
- 15:48Speaker 1: into that they didn't like and not the allegations. And
- 15:52Speaker 1: that's why I'm like, I don't really understand why the
- 15:54Speaker 1: critics only leaned into that. I think that that's you know,
- 15:57Speaker 1: as a as a person in the media, I know that,
- 16:00Speaker 1: like that's the headline, right, Like that's the that's the bait,
- 16:03Speaker 1: that's that's what makes you click it, that's what gets
- 16:04Speaker 1: the conversation going. But to be honest, I would love
- 16:07Speaker 1: to see the conversation about Michael Jackson and all the
- 16:10Speaker 1: catalogs that he owned and how he owned so much
- 16:13Speaker 1: of the music industry's catalogs. I would have loved to
- 16:16Speaker 1: see more in depth, just the dynamic with him and
- 16:19Speaker 1: Quincy Jones, because I feel like the way that we
- 16:21Speaker 1: saw that the dynamic of Quincy Jones and him in
- 16:24Speaker 1: this movie is how we kind of like typically always
- 16:26Speaker 1: see it, and it wasn't a bad depiction or anything
- 16:30Speaker 1: like that, but I just I thought there would be more,
- 16:33Speaker 1: especially because his estate was so involved in this storytelling
- 16:36Speaker 1: and it's Antoine Fuqua, like who is a master storyteller.
- 16:40Speaker 2: I also thought that we would get some more that
- 16:44Speaker 2: we had never.
- 16:45Speaker 1: Seen or just just disa point of view about the
- 16:48Speaker 1: relationship that Michael Jackson had with his father Joe Jackson.
- 16:52Speaker 1: So I thought we would go a little bit deeper there,
- 16:54Speaker 1: and that didn't happen. I also, you know, I feel
- 16:58Speaker 1: like they could have really used a Diana raw parts
- 17:01Speaker 1: of it. But and again not not just gloss over,
- 17:04Speaker 1: but when a death about that, I definitely think that
- 17:08Speaker 1: you know, the whole Pepsi in the Last Tour and
- 17:12Speaker 1: you know that time period.
- 17:14Speaker 2: I wish that like we had gotten a bit more
- 17:16Speaker 2: like there was.
- 17:16Speaker 1: It's like we hit so many points in his life
- 17:18Speaker 1: from the time he was a child to that last
- 17:22Speaker 1: like Bad Tour in nineteen eighty eight in this movie,
- 17:25Speaker 1: like that's the timeline. But like I was like, oh,
- 17:28Speaker 1: I wanted more, And it wasn't even stuff that everybody
- 17:31Speaker 1: else was yelling about, like there's so much, like I
- 17:34Speaker 1: would love to ask, you know, Antwine Fuqua and some
- 17:37Speaker 1: of the writers, like how did you guys in the state,
- 17:40Speaker 1: how did you guys figure out what to even keep
- 17:42Speaker 1: and how to tell the story?
- 17:44Speaker 2: My only pushback of this was.
- 17:46Speaker 1: That as amazing as it was, as much as it
- 17:48Speaker 1: made me smile, as much as it warmed my heart
- 17:50Speaker 1: to see him on the screen, and oh my god,
- 17:54Speaker 1: his nephew did an amazing job. The Younger Boy, the
- 17:57Speaker 1: child actor that played Michael Jackson as well, it was
- 18:00Speaker 1: really really good too. His nephew, Jafar Jackson, bodied this role.
- 18:06Speaker 1: From the movements, he looked just like Michael Jackson does
- 18:08Speaker 1: in all the videos, to the mannerisms, to the voice
- 18:13Speaker 1: to you know, like you really felt the heart.
- 18:15Speaker 2: And soul of Michael Jackson through his nephew.
- 18:20Speaker 1: Like I said in the movie Theater, I'm like, yo,
- 18:22Speaker 1: this family is like the postal child family, for it
- 18:26Speaker 1: is in the blood because it's so naty. He was
- 18:29Speaker 1: doing it so naturally, like there was no overacting. Like
- 18:32Speaker 1: shout out to the choreographers too, Oh my god. In
- 18:35Speaker 1: the wardrobe, I know Marcy Rogers, who's a black woman,
- 18:38Speaker 1: She's a black woman's stylist did the wardrobe here, Like
- 18:41Speaker 1: oh my god, But yeah, that was My only critique
- 18:45Speaker 1: was that there was a lot of like the story
- 18:47Speaker 1: that we did see that like I wish we had
- 18:48Speaker 1: just gotten deeper into like I wish because I just
- 18:52Speaker 1: think that they have the rain, should be able to
- 18:54Speaker 1: really tell us things we did not know. And even
- 18:57Speaker 1: with the Videlago stuff and in the you know, Michael Jackson,
- 19:00Speaker 1: you know, allegedly wanting to be white, even that was
- 19:03Speaker 1: like kind of glossed over a bit, like they mentioned
- 19:05Speaker 1: certain things, but like they didn't go into death but
- 19:07Speaker 1: like his struggle with that, So I.
- 19:11Speaker 2: Wish we had gotten some of that.
- 19:12Speaker 1: But when they were talking about a sequel, and I
- 19:15Speaker 1: know Lena Long was on the Today Show with Komen
- 19:17Speaker 1: Demingo to mention the sequel, let's take a listen. When
- 19:21Speaker 1: they talk about a sequel, there's no way they cannot.
- 19:23Speaker 2: Do another movie. They have to.
- 19:25Speaker 1: There is so much more that we got to get into.
- 19:29Speaker 1: Even if you never touch the allegations, there's so much more.
- 19:32Speaker 1: But it was a great movie. I recommend everyone to
- 19:35Speaker 1: go see it. Definitely something you take your family to
- 19:37Speaker 1: go see. It just makes you feel good. And also
- 19:40Speaker 1: like if you're a person that is getting up every
- 19:42Speaker 1: day and trying to figure out life and very passionate
- 19:45Speaker 1: about what you put out into the world, and how
- 19:47Speaker 1: it's a reminder of like greatness is rewarded, and especially
- 19:51Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six, I feel like we've gotten so
- 19:54Speaker 1: far away from like people actually caring about the product
- 19:57Speaker 1: of what they're putting out the the look, how it
- 20:00Speaker 1: makes people feel, but also the humanity of.
- 20:05Speaker 2: The art, Like being an.
- 20:07Speaker 1: Artist is like you literally are able to take people's
- 20:11Speaker 1: emotions from high to low, low to high, like you
- 20:15Speaker 1: can move mountains with art, with storytelling, with song, with dance.
- 20:19Speaker 1: I think we've gotten so far away from like how
- 20:22Speaker 1: much of a gift our gifts are and this movie
- 20:25Speaker 1: was a good reminder of that. So shout out to them.
- 20:27Speaker 1: You know, they definitely did sequel, though, Like if there's
- 20:30Speaker 1: no sequel.
- 20:30Speaker 2: Done, this is not just.
