• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Living my Best Life, and I thought that that was dope,

  Speaker 2: like every time Clorisa goes viral now ever since she
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: began dating pet Poofs, it's always for you know, people
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: having a conversation about what they don't like about her

  Speaker 2: going crazy, and not only for her, they were going crazy.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, the whole day was felling so much love
• 3:55

• 3:58
  Speaker 2: really excited to see her and honestly, to see Patpoofs

  Speaker 2: a spectator of the sport, no pun intendent because we're
• 4:11

• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Life with Patpoofs as they you know, walk throughout the
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: event like they could barely get through the crowded people.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: That's how much love they were getting at the event, honestly.

• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know what they had me backstage prepping for,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: but I am pissed that I missed that in real time.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: But men, Yeah, it was just such a great time.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Ce Lo k Michelle took to Nourri and Ori E
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: and DJ Fne Drink Champs and their conversation range from
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: a lot of different things. To be honest, I wish
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: that they had more time, and I wish that they
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: had done one interview with one person versus two people
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: within forty minutes. Like I feel like they didn't really
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: get a chance to dive as deep as they normally
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: do on the show, which I understand. You know, when
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: you watch a live podcast, you're not like you're not
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: gonna get everything that you would normally get when.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: You watch them because it's live. Timing is different, like
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: But I do wish they did one person versus the two,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: even though both of those people are great interviews for
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Drink Champs. But yeah, So they had a conversation and
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: they were talking to ce Lo about whether Landa is
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: running hip hop right now and the way he hesitated,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: I'm like, yo, he want to say no so bad,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: but like as like og Atlanta, he can't let's take
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: of the same.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I think no, I think.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: It's like a having an intermission right then, I think
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: everybody in the concession instead, you.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Know.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: But you know, the vibe, man, is just it's supposed
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: to be transcending, transferable. Touch the next man, touch the
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: next person, the next region, the next wave, style, trend,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: et cetera. You know what I mean, like inspire it.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean, Like a lot of the times, Man,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: the industry is like a roller coaster ride. Let's say
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: six flames. You're gonna ride the scream of Shade. You're
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: gonna wait your line. You're gonna be anticipating, you know,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: you know, on you're gonna be scared. You're gonna be
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: thrill about a minute and a half straight up for
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: however long it is, right, Just like damn, I'm waiting
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: forever for some shit that just Now's a minute. There's
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: some seconds, right or it seems. And you leave out,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: you go back around, and the line is just as long,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: if not longer. And if you want to ride that
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: right and again, if you want to ride that ride again.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: You got to get back in line. That's shit.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: And I think life is a lot like that. But
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: the industry is especially like that, so let it be.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, No, no, no, they always
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: look over Memphis. I feel like Memphis is having the
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: time in hiptop right now, and we do have three
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: six Mafia, you know, and I feel like a lot
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: of the sound of that type of hip hop it was,
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: you know, took for them, they really didn't get. I
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: feel like all the acknowledgement three six my Fia deserves
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: when it comes to hip hop and being in the South,
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: and right now, I feel like the hip hop artist
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: from Memphis right now, you got push and you still
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: got off, you got Kendy Money, You've got you got finesse.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: You know, you have some really talented lyricists right now
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: that everyone is listening to and they have that old
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: school Memphis.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Sound and then they throw you know, they throw it
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: to Kay Michelle because Key Michelle jumps in and she's
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: having a conversation about the fact that Memphis is where's
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: at right now musically in the moment that they're having.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: But one of the people that she bigs up is
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: kender Man, who is a female rapper who I've been like,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I love kend the Man Ken the Man pops her
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: s Hi t Okay. Kender Man is a you know,

  Speaker 2: she's a young female rapper.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I feel like a lot. I thought the.

  Speaker 2: Massive new KNDO Man, but Nori and DJ Fin didn't
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: know who she was.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: But Kem Michelle showed a lot of love.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Let's say a listen Kingdom Man and you're going through
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: something right now, Ladies, you can put on Kenderman from
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: top to bottom.
• 8:58

  Speaker 2: Girl on the stage, you had the five to twenty podcast,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: You had Gritton Eggs Like. It was just good to
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: see some of your favorite people that talk about all
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: the things all the time in person like and I
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: as like, as a fan of podcasts and a fan
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: of some of these people, I went out and sat
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: in the crowd and watched her as much as I could.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Hosting this year because I hosted it along with DJ
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: nbsh Al, I mean, hosting this year was a bit
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: different last year, I got to introduce a panel and
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: then I was able to actually kind of like watch
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: the show a.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Bit more and you know, like experience like the crowd
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: a bit more.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: I didn't really get that much of an opportunity this
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: year to do that all that. I tried so shout
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: out to all the low Riders that I saw at
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: the Podcast Festival.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: But yeah, just an amazing day. I think it's just
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: beautiful to see something grow in real time.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: And again, I just started attending last year and they've
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: been doing this before that, and.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about growth.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: So I'm excited to see where they go next year
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: and how even bigger it gets next year.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: But one of the things that I love is that
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I felt like the audience.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Was so locked into the conversations this year, which is
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: amazing because you learned so much getting to watch the
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: pros do it in real time and then getting to
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: listen to some of the panels and all that. So
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: I didn't talk that everybody was able to take away
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: something and people enjoyed themselves and had a great time.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Thanks to everybody that bought my merch. The brown Gargrinding
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: merch was in the Black Effects store. Thank you guys
• 10:40

• 10:47
  Speaker 2: I wanted to say thank y'all, So I'm making some
• 10:49

  Speaker 2: Spell l Obe browngargrinding dot com to get some percentages

  Speaker 2: off of the merch as you're shopping at checkout. And
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: that is why I'm here struggling right now doing this
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: podcast because I am exhausted. My body is exhausted, my
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: voice is exhausted. But I'm just grateful to even be
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: able to, Like I love being in situations where like
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: you're amongst the great so you have no choice but
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: to learn. And that's how the Black Effect Podcast Festival
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: fills every single year. Fel grateful to have experienced that
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: with the team in Atlanta. Now, another thing I did
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: while I was in Atlanta, I went to go see
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: the Michael Jackson movie. I want to go see the
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Michael biopic. And you know, I saw, you know, all
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: of the headlines and the conversations about the fact that
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: the fact that the Michael biopic became the number one
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: movie in the world the biggest opening ever globally after
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: it grossed over two hundred million dollars. Now this means
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: that it outgrows nearly all of the films in twenty
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: twenty six period so far. But I want to go
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: see the movie, and I'm gonna be honest with y'all,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: like I don't understand the critics reviews, and I'm gonna
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: tell you guys why, Like I understand why there's pushback
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: about what's not in the film, but I don't agree
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: with the critics that the stuff that should have been
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: added or not that I don't agree with them, but
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: I don't see why the critics solely focused on the
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: sexual assault allegations not being included in Michael's story, because
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: I feel like there was so much more that I
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: wanted to see in the story before you even got
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: to that time period. So originally I was supposed to
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: see the Michael movie Friday evening when I first landed
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: in Atlanta. A lot of my friends and my family
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: flew in because they loved the podcast festivals. While they come,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: they've come both years now that I've been a part
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: So we've went out to dinner.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: We got there things were moving so slow with our
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: service and we were just having a good time.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: We end up not making it to the movie.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Then the podcast festival was Saturday, so Sunday before I
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: flew out, I did a matt in a movie and
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: I didn't get to see anybody dancing, you know, in
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: front of the screen like my movie theater.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: They were very chill.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: There were some people dressed up. But the movie was amazing.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: The movie felt like a hug. The movie made you
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: like I was like smiling and warm the whole time
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: because I'm like.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Man, like, we just we don't have this greatness anymore.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Like the way Michael was so intentional about his career,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: you know, shaping his like his his his brand, and
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: the way people received him and received information about him
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: and his mystique, and the way he didn't take for
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: granted what was happening in his life and the gift
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: that God gave him. But more importantly, the ability to
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: reach all people, not just black people, with all people
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: because of the platform and the amount of success and
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: the amount of fans that he had grown was like
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: it was the one of the best lessons in understanding
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: your why and just to see how rooted in family
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: he was, like, even to his detriment at some point,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: to see how rooted in family he was.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I think, you know, the goal of this movie, from everything.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: I've watched with the cast and read, was to humanize
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: him a bit more. And I think that there have
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: been things that have humanized him. But I think because
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Michael Jackson is so famous, even all these years after
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: his death, it's almost like he's a fairy tale, Like
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: he's not a real person. And the conversation has you know,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: been for the last few years about the allegations and
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: people resuing and refining lawsuits and you know, all of that.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: I think that we get lost in all of that
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: stuff and forget just how god since that man's talent
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: was and and the fact that like, we will never
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: experience that again. That's all I kept thinking, is what
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: a time to be alive to be watching Michael Jackson
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: as his star roles and you're seeing him a massive,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: crazy level of wealth and success in all of these
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: things that man like ah, And then I was thinking about,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: you know, all of the crazy comparisons to Michael Jackson,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, never, I don't ever want to hear
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: that again, like this movie really just it's just such
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: a feel good hug around who he was as a person,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: what he stood on, and how he was blessed because
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: even in the worst of times, he stood on that
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: and what he did for others and just how important
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: that was. With everything that he had and everything he
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: had going on, it was always about other people. But
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: there's a lot that I wish that they had gotten
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: into that they didn't like and not the allegations. And
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: that's why I'm like, I don't really understand why the
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: critics only leaned into that.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: I think that.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: That's you know, as a as a person in the media,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: I know that like that's the headline, right, Like that's
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: the that's the bait, that's that's what makes you click it,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: that's what gets the conversation going. But to be honest,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: I would love to see the conversation about Michael Jackson
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: and all the catalogs that he owned and how he
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: owned so much of the music industry's catalogs. I would
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: have loved to see more in depth, just the dynamic
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: with him and Quincy Jones, because I feel like the
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: way that we saw the dynamic of Quincy Jones and
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: him in this movie.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Is how we kind of like typically always see it.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: And it wasn't a bad depiction or anything like that,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: but I just I thought there would be more, especially
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: because his estate was so involved in this storytelling and
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: it's Antoine Fuqua, like who is a master storyteller.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I also thought that we would get some more that
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: we had never.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Seen or just just disa point of view about the
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: relationship that Michael Jackson had with his father Joe Jackson.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: So I thought we would go a little bit deeper
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: there and that didn't happen. I also, you know, I
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: feel like they could have really used a Diana raw
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: parts of it. But and again not not just glossed over,
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: but when a death about that, I definitely think that
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: you know, the whole Pepsi in the Last Tour and
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: you know that time period.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: I wish that like we had gotten a bit more
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: like there was.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: It's like we hit so many points in his life
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: from the time he was a child to that last
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: like Bad Tour in nineteen eighty.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Eight in this movie, like that's the timeline.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: But like I was like, oh, I wanted more, And
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: it wasn't even stuff that everybody else was yelling about
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: like there's so much like I would love to ask,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: you know, Antwine Fuqua and some of the writers like
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: how did you guys in estate? How did you guys
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: figure out what to even keep and how to tell
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: the story?
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: My only pushback of this was.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: That as amazing as it was, as much as it
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: made me smile, as much as it warmed my heart
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: to see him on the screen, and oh my god,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: his nephew did an amazing job. The Younger Boy, the
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: child actor that played Michael Jackson as well, it was
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: really really good too. His nephew, Jafar Jackson, bodied this role.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: From the movements, he looked just like Michael Jackson does
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: in all the videos, to the mannerisms, to the voice
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: to you know, like you really felt the heart and
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: soul of Michael Jackson through his nephew. Like I said
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: in the movie Theater, I'm like, yo, this family is
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: like the postal child family, for it is in the blood,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: because it's so natury. He was doing it so naturally,
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: like there was no overacting, Like shout out to the
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: choreographers too, Oh my god. In the wardrobe, I know
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Marcy Rogers, who's a black woman. She's a black woman's stylist.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Did the wardrobe here? Like oh my god? But yeah,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: that was My only critique was that there was a
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: lot of like the story that we did see that,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: like I wish we had just gotten deeper into, Like
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: I wish because I just think that they have the rain,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: should be able to really tell us things we did
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: not know. And even with the Videlago stuff and in
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: the you know, Michael Jackson, you know, allegedly wanting to
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: be white, even that was like kind of glossed over
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: a bit, like they mentioned certain things, but like they
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: didn't go into death but like his struggle with that.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: So I wish we had gotten some of that.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: But when they were talking about a sequel, and I
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: know Lena Long was on the Today Show with Komen
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Demingo to mention the sequel, let's take a listen. When
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: they talk about a sequel, there's no way they cannot.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Do another movie. They have to.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: There is so much more that we got to get into.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Even if you never touch the allegations, there's so much more.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: But it was a great movie. I recommend everyone to
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: go see it. Definitely something you take your family to
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: go see. It just makes you feel good. And also
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: like if you're a person that is getting up every
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: day and trying to figure out life and very passionate
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: about what you put out into the world, and how
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: it's a reminder of like greatness is rewarded, and especially
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six, I feel like we've gotten so
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: far away from like people actually caring about the product
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: of what they're putting out the the look, how it
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: makes people feel, but also the humanity of.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: The art, Like being an.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Artist is like you literally are able to take people's
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: emotions from high to low, low to high, like you
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: can move mountains with art, with storytelling, with song, with dance.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: I think we've gotten so far away from like how
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: much of a gift our gifts are and this movie
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: was a good reminder of that. So shout out to them.
• 20:27

• 20:30
