  Speaker 1: Do you think summer's after over Labor Day? It is not.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Not on One Voice. October 26th, we're sailing from Miami
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: to Bimini for six nights of sun, parties, and incredible entertainment.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Right now, sea terrace balcony cabins are available for just $.

  Speaker 1: Book today at OneVoice2026. com or you can call 214-495-1963. Um,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you something seriously. If your 80
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: year old father who obviously got swollen feet and allegedly
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: he was in the hospital over the weekend and bruises
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: on his hands, they try to cover with makeup and
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: he falls asleep all the time. If your 80-year-old father
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: sent the same true social post that Trump did, you
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: would go over his house and blow the pilot out.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: And you wouldn't let him cook. You would be looking
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: for a home to put him in. I was reading
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: where people were upset that Idris Elba wasn't going to
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: play James Bond.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they were upset.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: You can't have a black secret agent.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you can.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: No, you can't because the key word is secret. Everybody going,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: who's this with a tuxedo on? You won't be suspicious
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: if you walk around with a tray of drinks. I
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: don't know who you is, but I just told you.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: People were upset that Idris Elba wasn't going to play
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: James Bond.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they were upset.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I wanted him to do it, but then when you
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: think about it, you got to go undercover. Everybody knows
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: who this is. A room full of white people, you
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the only with a tuxedo, you think you ain't going
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: to stand out? Who's this on the shoe phone? Who's
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: this with the camera on his cell phone? You ain't
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: going to fool nobody. Goldfinger knew you was here the
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: whole time.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: A 16-year-old who works there, these other chicks, they ran
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: in there and they were going to whoop her up.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: What they didn't know is that she was an MMA fighter, trained.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: A white girl?
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: She skull drugged them to hell and back by herself.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: And lumped them up real nice.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: And lumped them up. So just be careful when you're
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: talking crap and you and your girl's on a go.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: You just don't know what.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: You're walking into.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: That wasn't Becky with the good hair. That was Becky
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: with the good left. Becky with the good jacks. All right,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: joining us on the program is a young lady I've
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: never got a chance to talk to. I'm a big fan.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I've gotten to see a lot of her. So I'm
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: glad to have her on the program. Please put your
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: hands together for Lizzo. How you doing, sweetheart?
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Thank you. OK, why are you saying a lot of
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: her like that? See, I.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Wasn't even talking about the Laker game.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: I literally wasn't.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I wasn't even doing that. That literally was. That was
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: actually a Freudian slip, I promise.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Lizzo, I swear, I gave him the sign-out when he
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: said it. I was like, yo, come on.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: No, no, I mean, I don't mean that way. But
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: that way, too. That way, too. That way, too. You're
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: a three-time Granny Award-winning pop star, singer, rapper, and flauter.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: So you play the flute?
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I'm classically trained.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I know your new project, there was a little bit
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: of controversy, which I can't for the life of me
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: figure out what was so controversial. I couldn't for the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: life of me figure out what got people all worked up.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I think now, artistically, is it difficult for you all
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: from your artistic endeavor to kind of draw a line
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: between creative and artistic and a line that people just
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: kind of don't get all worked up about?
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Um, it all depends on the individual. Like what, why
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: do you make art? You know, I feel like with comedians,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: a lot of times, like their art is based in
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: being provocative and being shocking. So like when people do
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: give them backlash for the words that they use, like,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: they knew very well why they were using those words
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: you know I think for me as a musician like
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I don't think it it that's not my angle is
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: to be shocking and to like it's it's easier for
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: me to be a good person and to do the
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: right thing so I think that's where the line is
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: drawn for me and it's like my intention is always
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: very sound you know what I'm saying and pure and Right.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I'm going to use that. Let me see. Hey, write
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: that down. Hang on. Hang on. Lizzo, best of luck
