0:50
Speaker 2: you is inspiring as well just watching it. So that's dope.
0:53
Speaker 3: Thank you.
0:54
Speaker 1: I'm in a really good space, like I'm feeling like
0:56
Speaker 1: the seeds that I've been planting are starting to grow,
0:59
Speaker 1: and that's a good feeling.
1:01
Speaker 3: You hung over from the Strip Club.
1:03
Speaker 2: I was not at the Strip Club, though I was
1:06
Speaker 2: hung over. I feel like Alergi is kicking my ass.
1:08
Speaker 2: But I'm I'm happy, y'all.
1:10
Speaker 3: So let's get on into the latest. So Beyonce.
1:14
Speaker 1: We had talked a bit on the Breakfast Club and
1:16
Speaker 1: here on the podcast about Beyonce and the Cowboy Carter
1:19
Speaker 1: tour and you know, just things happening. But now Beyonce
1:22
Speaker 1: has been hit with a cease and desist. So earlier
1:25
Speaker 1: this week, Beyonce was hit with a cease and desist
1:27
Speaker 1: lawsuit because the Las Vegas Fear Sphere, the owners of
1:31
Speaker 1: the Sphere that were just kicking my ass, claim that
1:34
Speaker 1: Beyonce's production team used an image of the Sphere without
1:37
Speaker 1: their permission, which is crazy because legally it's like, yes,
1:42
Speaker 1: I get it, and they have an argument, but it's Beyonce.
1:46
Speaker 1: Like I feel like you just like be happy that
1:48
Speaker 1: Beyonce used anything in relation to you, Like, what do
1:50
Speaker 1: you mean?
1:50
Speaker 2: No, I mean, looking into the story, it seemed a
1:52
Speaker 2: little petty because you know, they wanted her to perform
1:55
Speaker 2: at the Sphere and she didn't reply to oz it
1:57
Speaker 2: James Dolan, They said, the CEO of the sphere. He
2:01
Speaker 2: wanted her to perform, and she never applied to him.
2:03
Speaker 2: So it seems like you can't use nothing about the
2:05
Speaker 2: sphere and none of your productions don't even acknowledge us
2:08
Speaker 2: anymore since you're not. But that's what it felt like,
2:10
Speaker 2: you know, reading up on the story, So you.
2:11
Speaker 1: Feel like without that whole background information or the background
2:16
Speaker 1: her not performing there, they wouldn't have dropped this lawsuit.
2:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like you know things about relationships if
2:20
Speaker 2: they have built that relationship of you know, you just
2:23
Speaker 2: do this for me, I'll do this for you. And
2:24
Speaker 2: I don't think it's that First of all. I want
2:26
Speaker 2: to know if it's can do does he have a
2:29
Speaker 2: case because it's just an image of a building, right, Yeah,
2:33
Speaker 2: she used in the video. She used the Eiffel Tower,
2:36
Speaker 2: she used the Statue of Liberty. She just used monuments
2:40
Speaker 2: that are recognizable in cities.
2:42
Speaker 3: Gotcha.
2:42
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't see what the issue is here.
2:44
Speaker 1: So for context, So, during the opening night of Beyonce's
2:48
Speaker 1: Cowboy Carter tour, so that was back on April twenty eighth,
2:51
Speaker 1: Beyonce used the Las Vegas Sphere in one of the
2:54
Speaker 1: visuals that're like one of the interlude visuals now in
2:57
Speaker 1: the video. So it's the two to Heaven song, the
3:00
Speaker 1: one of R Kelly's ex wife Drea. She depicted so
3:06
Speaker 1: Beyonce has depicted as one hundred feet tall and she's
3:09
Speaker 1: striding through Las Vegas before she stops at the Sphere.
3:12
Speaker 1: Then she lowers down before picking the venue up, tapping
3:15
Speaker 1: it with one of the with one of her fingers
3:16
Speaker 1: and walking away with in her hand. For those of
3:19
Speaker 1: you guys who are watching the video here on YouTube,
3:23
Speaker 1: you can take a look here for all all your listeners.
3:25
Speaker 1: I'm describing it because I know that you can't see it,
3:27
Speaker 1: but please go check it out. It'll be posted to
3:29
Speaker 1: the bron Gar Grinding Instagram into my Instagram, Lauren la Rosa.
3:33
Speaker 3: Now, the clip went.
3:34
Speaker 1: Crazy because people are always hype to see Beyonce visuals.
3:37
Speaker 1: But who you're talking about Madison Square Garden Bass James Dolan.
3:41
Speaker 1: He was upset about this and people were actually tweeting like, imagine,
3:44
Speaker 1: you can't get booked Beyonce, So now you mad and
3:46
Speaker 1: you send a lawsuit?
3:47
Speaker 3: Right.
3:48
Speaker 1: The biggest issue that he had here was that because
3:52
Speaker 1: you saw her in the with the Sphere in Las Vegas,
3:56
Speaker 1: there was big speculation that her tour would be hitting there,
3:59
Speaker 1: So basically they feel like they were wrongly depicted or
4:02
Speaker 1: like it was almost like a false advertisement that could
4:03
Speaker 1: have fell back on them to people that would have
4:05
Speaker 1: wanted to come and see her in Las Vegas. McCarthy
4:08
Speaker 1: went on to say that bees interlude has caused significant
4:11
Speaker 1: speculation that she would end her tour with the Sphere residency,
4:16
Speaker 1: because you remember some time ago, there's been right now
4:19
Speaker 1: even though right now still there's rumors that Beyonce supposed
4:21
Speaker 1: to do a Las Vegas residency, So people thought that
4:23
Speaker 1: this was her saying and signally because she does this
4:26
Speaker 1: in a lot of her art. Taylor Swift does it
4:28
Speaker 1: as well, where they dropped these easter eggs, so people
4:30
Speaker 1: thought it was an easter egg. So the letter the
4:34
Speaker 1: Season Assists that was sent to her company, Beyonce's company,
4:37
Speaker 1: park Or Entertainment, asked her to stop using the venue
4:40
Speaker 1: Sphere without permission in the interlude so that it wouldn't
4:43
Speaker 1: cause any confusion. It has recently comes to SEG's attention.
4:46
Speaker 1: This is what the letter said that a Cowboy Carter
4:48
Speaker 1: Tour interlude video contains an unauthorized use of SEG's intellectual property.
4:53
Speaker 1: The letter states SEG is sure that multiple aspects of
4:56
Speaker 1: the Interluw video, including other brands, clips, and music, were
4:59
Speaker 1: duly cleared by the tour with rights permissions from stakeholders
5:04
Speaker 1: whose works were used in the video, as it's common practice. Seg, however,
5:08
Speaker 1: was never asked if the prominent appearance and manipulation of
5:12
Speaker 1: SEG's sphere venue could be authorized. So basically what they're
5:16
Speaker 1: saying is is, y'all asks us to use a lot
5:18
Speaker 1: of other stuff and other people in this. So when
5:20
Speaker 1: it comes to music, other you know, images or whatever.
5:22
Speaker 1: And in Las Vegas, you know that those buildings and
5:25
Speaker 1: the way that they look it's.
5:26
Speaker 3: All a part of the brand.
5:27
Speaker 1: And they do a lot of that, like architecture on purpose, right,
5:30
Speaker 1: and they make up staples like you can think about
5:32
Speaker 1: like how certain places like playing Hollywood and stuff like
5:35
Speaker 1: that look in Vegas. So from what I'm reading here,
5:38
Speaker 1: I think that they would have a case if she
5:40
Speaker 1: didn't go about this the right way, which confuses me
5:42
Speaker 1: because it's Beyonce, so it's like, why wouldn't she? But
5:45
Speaker 1: it does seem a bit petty, it does. It does
5:48
Speaker 1: seem a bit petty.
5:49
Speaker 3: Now.
5:49
Speaker 1: I brought all that up because this lawsuit dropped and
5:53
Speaker 1: then there was more Beyonce tour news. So people have
5:57
Speaker 1: been talking about the tickets, and I thought with the
5:58
Speaker 1: tour going viral, more people were going to just start
6:01
Speaker 1: buying the tickets.
6:02
Speaker 3: Even though you know you don't got the money.
6:03
Speaker 1: But you know, it's like fomo, yeah did you Like,
6:05
Speaker 1: I know, I don't know how much of a Beyonce
6:07
Speaker 1: you are, but didn't make you want to go and
6:09
Speaker 1: see the tour when you were seeing like Roomy and
6:11
Speaker 1: like you know, blue performing on stage and stuff.
6:13
Speaker 2: I've been hurt by a lot of Beyonce bands, so
6:17
Speaker 2: it's a weird little thing on on.
6:19
Speaker 1: You mean, like excess or like no, let's explore you
6:23
Speaker 1: are no no no, but I replaceable different. No.
6:30
Speaker 2: I thought it was more about the album. I think
6:33
Speaker 2: a lot of people weren't big fans of the actual.
6:35
Speaker 3: You're the second person to tell me that.
6:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I think that's more of like Renaissance had
6:40
Speaker 2: like great, and then I think it's that, and then
6:41
Speaker 2: I think it's just money the economy. I feel like
6:44
Speaker 2: the tickets are expensive and like you are real selective
6:47
Speaker 2: nowadays with who they see a lot like the big arts,
6:50
Speaker 2: So I hearing like if you're if they're going to
6:51
Speaker 2: Kendrick or Chris Brown, you probably don't got the bandwidth
6:56
Speaker 2: to be paying for Beyonce as well like those are.
6:58
Speaker 2: That's probably two start there between.
7:01
Speaker 1: The two between including outfits and travel, and I get it,
7:05
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I just feel like there's always
7:07
Speaker 1: like the foumo thing, especially like with us, like we're
7:10
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna spend a dollar on to spend, we
7:12
Speaker 1: feel like we're missing something or whatever. And I think,
7:15
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe it's because Beyonce kind of just
7:17
Speaker 1: recently came off of the Renaissance tour. Because normally with
7:19
Speaker 1: Beyonce tours, for me, the hype is is like, oh
7:22
Speaker 1: my god, I gotta get the ticket. I gotta get
7:23
Speaker 1: the ticket because I don't know when she's going back
7:25
Speaker 1: on tour. She just came off of a tour, so
7:27
Speaker 1: a lot of those fans did Renaissance. Now Cowboy Carter
7:30
Speaker 1: is here, there's rumors of Vegas residency, so it's like,
7:34
Speaker 1: maybe you feel like I'm gonna see her again a lot.
7:37
Speaker 2: Like she's not Like I feel like people aren't necessarily
7:40
Speaker 2: like missing her.
7:41
Speaker 1: Yet people have been saying though that a lot of
7:44
Speaker 1: people felt like Renaissance was her last tour, but a
7:45
Speaker 1: lot of people felt like Cowboy Carter might be her last.
7:48
Speaker 1: They said that every tour though, but a lot of
7:49
Speaker 1: people feel like that. But she's had some issues that
7:52
Speaker 1: you know this last week a couple of hiccups on stage,
7:55
Speaker 1: which I know somebody getting fined.
7:57
Speaker 3: You don't play it to be.
7:59
Speaker 2: I saw you yo.
8:01
Speaker 3: Okay.
8:02
Speaker 1: So there was one of them where she couldn't find
8:04
Speaker 1: her mark on stage, like her X on stage, and
8:06
Speaker 1: she's like visibly looking.
8:08
Speaker 3: Then there was another one where, uh, she had the.
8:13
Speaker 1: Like there was she was trying to take There was
8:14
Speaker 1: like a stunt that she was going with like a
8:15
Speaker 1: glove and she's holding her mic and like people are
8:18
Speaker 1: trying to take that off of her while she's on
8:20
Speaker 1: safe and she visibly looks pissed. And she's normally really
8:24
Speaker 1: good about handling like when things are not going right,
8:27
Speaker 1: like this is not she just not a first ROADI
8:29
Speaker 1: of course they'd be like who taught Laura? No pun intended?
8:33
Speaker 1: She always saying it like I swear I'm a rapper,
8:35
Speaker 1: like double Antandra don't play with me. But yeah, so
8:39
Speaker 1: the fact that she looked visibly upset and we all
8:41
Speaker 1: know is Beyonce. She's the queen of live performance. It's like, oh,
8:44
Speaker 1: somebody ain't gonna have a job, somebody family ain't getting
8:47
Speaker 1: no more free Cowboy Carter tickets, and yeah, so people,
8:51
Speaker 1: I think people right now are still trying to figure
8:53
Speaker 1: out if it's worth going to not worth it because
8:57
Speaker 1: it's Beyonce, but basically, if it's like if I'm spending
8:59
Speaker 1: my last dollar, is the show, like, you know, monumental
9:04
Speaker 1: enough that I want to spend my last.
9:05
Speaker 3: Dollar if I got to chew, pick and choose.
9:08
Speaker 1: And then you got these moments going viral, countering the
9:11
Speaker 1: other big moments where everybody was like, oh my god,
9:13
Speaker 1: you know, she got her babies out there, Blue is dancing,
9:15
Speaker 1: We're meeting roomy. Now she just thinks her mom Tina
9:18
Speaker 1: Nose on stage for you know, New York Times bestseller
9:21
Speaker 1: for her Matriarch book, and then all this, you know,
9:24
Speaker 1: these little hiccups happened, and people not centered on it.
9:26
Speaker 1: I don't feel like you said you didn't even see it.
9:28
Speaker 2: That I didn't see that specifically, but yeah, I've been
9:31
Speaker 2: seeing clips and the the biggest thing I've been seeing
9:33
Speaker 2: is blues improvement and dancing, Like I almost couldn't believe it. Yeah,
9:38
Speaker 2: who is like who? And she looked I think she
9:42
Speaker 2: who is that? Like she cooking? Yo? I really love
9:46
Speaker 2: that because I remember an article came out that the
9:50
Speaker 2: slander she was getting from the first like videos that
9:52
Speaker 2: came out of her on tour motivated her to do better.
9:55
Speaker 2: And now she's like, oh, she's a dancer now, Yeah,
9:57
Speaker 2: I wonder if that's what she wants to do, like
9:59
Speaker 2: if she wants to going to that path, and like
10:01
Speaker 2: it looked like you could keep up like in Beyonce Shadow.
10:04
Speaker 2: All right, it's a wild take, But was Beyonce dancing
10:07
Speaker 2: like that?
10:07
Speaker 1: And her No Beyonce, No no, no, no, no baby no
10:11
Speaker 1: in the beginning of and the behive and y'all can
10:14
Speaker 1: come and get me off y'all want because we will
10:15
Speaker 1: be upset when you dissect anything Beyonce and don't just
10:18
Speaker 1: like give it to her all the way the beginning,
10:20
Speaker 1: No Beyonce developed as I mean, the Destiny's Child had
10:24
Speaker 1: to stage presence. They were moving, they were dancing, but
10:26
Speaker 1: the vehicle in the machine of Beyonce, like the whole
10:30
Speaker 1: Beyonce versus Sasha Fierce air Like it was really cute
10:33
Speaker 1: and she was doing her thing before that, but she
10:35
Speaker 1: evolved into this like.
10:38
Speaker 3: Machine of like, yeah, who the hell is that? Blue
10:42
Speaker 3: Ivy did that so fast?
10:44
Speaker 1: I would say faster or maybe we just start paying
10:46
Speaker 1: attention a lot more because it's social media. Yeah, but baby,
10:49
Speaker 1: when I saw Blue Ivy walk out the day Javou
10:51
Speaker 1: that opening night, I said, oh, Blue Ivy is tea yeah.
10:56
Speaker 2: And then I'm trying to like compare it to the
10:58
Speaker 2: professional dances behind it and see if like, but she's
11:01
Speaker 2: like nepotism, Like I just want to put my daughter.
11:05
Speaker 2: She's keeping up with the dam I'm like, I'm eating them.
11:08
Speaker 1: Up like crazy, like even her faces too, like.
11:16
Speaker 3: Okay, that's why I'm not dancing.
11:18
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if we if we do get
11:20
Speaker 1: that Las Vegas residency and we get to see Blue
11:23
Speaker 1: on stage, and you know what I mean, it's probably
11:25
Speaker 1: not gonna happen at this sphere now because of this
11:27
Speaker 1: cease and desist that was saying and they you know
11:30
Speaker 1: before when it was reported that she was doing the
11:31
Speaker 1: residency and that it was going to happen there.
11:33
Speaker 3: The negotiations fell through.
11:34
Speaker 1: So for some reason, I don't know, beyond Beyonce in
11:38
Speaker 1: that Sphere team, they just can't figure it out, Like
11:40
Speaker 1: they just can't get it together. So we'll have to
11:42
Speaker 1: you know, it's the first.
11:42
Speaker 2: Few days star, right, they got time to get this
11:44
Speaker 2: ship together.
11:45
Speaker 1: Well, Beyonce is doing her the tourter she's doing now
11:48
Speaker 1: doesn't have anything to do with the Sphere, but because
11:51
Speaker 1: when the Las Vegas residency rumors dropped, and then news
11:54
Speaker 1: had came out that if she did do the residency,
11:56
Speaker 1: it was going to be there. But then news came
11:59
Speaker 1: out that the those negotiations fell through, like they couldn't.
12:03
Speaker 3: I don't know.
12:03
Speaker 1: It was like demands from both sides that like I
12:05
Speaker 1: guess they just weren't meeting in the middle correctly, and
12:08
Speaker 1: then she was looking at other locations and then it
12:09
Speaker 1: just never happened. So that's why they're like, Yo, you
12:12
Speaker 1: can't just throw us in your promo, Like now you
12:14
Speaker 1: got your fans thinking you bring in something here that's
12:16
Speaker 1: probably not it's nothing on paper.
12:19
Speaker 2: So there was negotiations. I thought there was, she wasn't.
12:21
Speaker 2: She didn't reach back out.
12:22
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, So Beyonce had a loss.
12:24
Speaker 1: So the New York Post, actually I put up an
12:26
Speaker 1: article Beyonce had a Las Vegas show scheduled at Allegiance
12:30
Speaker 1: Stadium on July twenty fifth, twenty twenty five. Initially there
12:32
Speaker 1: were reports of a potential residency at the Sphere, but
12:35
Speaker 1: those negotiations fell through.
12:38
Speaker 3: Then Yeah, so.
12:39
Speaker 2: Okay, I thought she ignored them completely.
12:41
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, so it just didn't work out. No,
12:43
Speaker 1: it didn't work out that time. Yes, yeah, gota. So
12:49
Speaker 1: moving on what I'm excited about because this is the
12:50
Speaker 1: reason why I got to get on up out of
12:52
Speaker 1: here and go to a fitting mecgala. The met Gala
12:56
Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty five met Gala is taking place.
13:00
Speaker 3: In New York.
13:01
Speaker 1: The theme this year is super fine Tailoring, Black Style.
13:05
Speaker 1: Now this is an ode to black dandyism, and all
13:08
Speaker 1: of us were fine and sophisticated. Glory Brandon, do you
13:10
Speaker 1: know anything that I just said?
13:12
Speaker 2: No words go. I started looking around the room. I
13:16
Speaker 2: was like, yes, you got it. You got fashion girl.
13:19
Speaker 1: Have you been seeing anything from the meggalo on your timeline?
13:21
Speaker 1: I like to ask people outside of fashion how they
13:24
Speaker 1: view what's happening in fashion.
13:25
Speaker 2: I saw the theme mostly I forgot the day of
13:29
Speaker 2: it was said around black sat.
13:31
Speaker 1: Around black people. Most people are just excited about that.
13:34
Speaker 1: A lot of people were like, you know what this is.
13:37
Speaker 1: I saw an interview when June Ambrose sat down a
13:40
Speaker 1: complex and they talked about the Megala a couple months
13:42
Speaker 1: ago or a month or so ago.
13:45

Speaker 1: first time because it wasn't a place where we were welcomed.
14:24
Speaker 1: And he was always one of, you know, if not
14:26
Speaker 1: the only Black people that you would see front row
14:28
Speaker 1: at a lot of these colture shows and these couature houses,
14:31
Speaker 1: Like he did so much just by his presence and
14:34
Speaker 1: you know, doing everything that he did behind the scenes
14:36
Speaker 1: in front of the camera for black people in fashion,
14:39
Speaker 1: but for people in fashion in general. But he was
14:41
Speaker 1: a black man, you know what I mean. And then
14:43
Speaker 1: he passed away, and people felt like at the time
14:45
Speaker 1: when he passed away that in a winterur and you know,
14:49
Speaker 1: Vogue and you know, just that whole couture world didn't
14:51
Speaker 1: do enough for him, like he was. Even like at
14:53
Speaker 1: the time when he passed away, there was conversations about, like,
14:55
Speaker 1: you know, his family struggling to pay for his funeral
14:57
Speaker 1: and just like which was crazy because when you think
15:00
Speaker 1: about who he was as a journalist, as a editor
15:04
Speaker 1: at large for Vogue, creative director, stylist, like just an
15:08
Speaker 1: American fashion hero. He there have been reports of him
15:12
Speaker 1: going through money things for some time before his passing,
15:15
Speaker 1: but I think people just he gave so much. He
15:18
Speaker 1: gave so much artist wise, uh, you know, just he
15:23
Speaker 1: was radical renaissance. You know some of the things he
15:25
Speaker 1: did and said, showing up with the big capes, just
15:28
Speaker 1: his looks, people just expected more. So I think some
15:30
Speaker 1: people feel like this is her thank you to him
15:32
Speaker 1: for everything he contributed while being an editor at large
15:35
Speaker 1: and Vogue and all that stuff. But yeah, so the theme,
15:37
Speaker 1: the theme is tailoring, black style, super fine tailor, and
15:40
Speaker 1: black style. Dandyism is a sub conversation that is happening
15:45
Speaker 1: around the theme because it's people are taking it real
15:49
Speaker 1: black black dandyism is looked at as like stylish, elegant.
15:53
Speaker 1: Think about you know, dapper Dan in the suits. Think
15:56
Speaker 1: about I'm trying to think who else I would describe
15:58
Speaker 1: as dandy, Coman Domingo, like you know, like suited booted.
16:05
Speaker 1: There's a lot of origins and a lot of history
16:07
Speaker 1: to it. Like at one point in time, people, you know,
16:09
Speaker 1: we're having conversation about dandyism in a way of like, okay,
16:12
Speaker 1: it's connected to slavery, and it was a way for
16:15
Speaker 1: us to assimulate, like kind of get away from the
16:19
Speaker 1: idea of slavery and to be looked at as like something.
16:22
Speaker 1: There's two sides of that. So that was our take
16:24
Speaker 1: on it. But on the other side, you know, white
16:28
Speaker 1: people and their take on dandyism during that time where
16:32
Speaker 1: we were trying to simulate and let people know, like
16:34
Speaker 1: we are more than how our slave masters presented us.
16:37
Speaker 3: Not to get too deep, but I think that this
16:38
Speaker 3: is important.
16:39
Speaker 1: White people would use it as a way to like
16:41
Speaker 1: almost you know, how you stage your home when you're
16:43
Speaker 1: trying to sell it. Yeah, they would dress up their
16:45
Speaker 1: slaves like that and sell them as luxury goods.
16:48
Speaker 3: Yes.
16:49
Speaker 1: Now the Megala is actually outside of just getting flying
16:51
Speaker 1: people having a good time. It's connected to the actual
16:54
Speaker 1: museum itself, and it brings attention to like, you know,
16:57
Speaker 1: different like the curated exhibit that they do within that
17:01
Speaker 1: museum that you remember that one year they put Rihanna
17:03
Speaker 1: in the museum. Yeah, and then you know it on
17:06
Speaker 1: the back end, it raises money for different things, and
17:08
Speaker 1: you know there's actual substance to it.
17:11
Speaker 3: But we like to see people get fly.
17:13
Speaker 1: So a lot of people are looking out for a
17:15
Speaker 1: sat Rocky who's one of the co chairs, Colman Domingo
17:18
Speaker 1: because he's always in the suit, so why not Lewis Hamilton,
17:23
Speaker 1: former Little One Driver, he'd be fly for real Williams
17:26
Speaker 1: who's also a co chair.
17:28
Speaker 3: Lebron James is a co chair this year.
17:30
Speaker 1: Celebrities though that people are really looking forward to Doci
17:34
Speaker 1: and I am so excited for Dochi because number one,
17:36
Speaker 1: this is so on brand for her. Huh No, I
17:42
Speaker 1: think she's actually gonna have on clothes.
17:45
Speaker 3: You can't tell her your ass snagget.
17:49
Speaker 2: Haynes matches.
17:51
Speaker 1: Listen, the people are excited for Dochi. Do She actually
17:54
Speaker 1: posted this picture on if you saw it, but she
17:56
Speaker 1: did this tribute to Andre Leon tally like when she
17:58
Speaker 1: first like hers fly, she the beginning of the weekend,
18:01
Speaker 1: when she started stepping out for the events, And when
18:04
Speaker 1: I saw this picture of Delchi, I was like, Okay,
18:06
Speaker 1: this year, maybe people won't be so off theme and
18:11
Speaker 1: so off of understanding the nature and the history of
18:13
Speaker 1: the theme that like we're gonna be like what the
18:15
Speaker 1: heck is going on? You know, a lot of people
18:17
Speaker 1: are just kind of nervous. And the name of that book,
18:19
Speaker 1: Monica Miller, who's also helping to plan, you know, and like,
18:24
Speaker 1: you know, she's just helping to curate a bit when
18:25
Speaker 1: it comes to the Megala. Monica Miller, who is the
18:28
Speaker 1: author of two thousand and nine, a two thousand and
18:30
Speaker 1: nine book called Slaves to Fashion Black Dandyism in the
18:33
Speaker 1: Styling of Black in the Styling of the Black that'sper identity.
18:37
Speaker 1: They're gonna draw from different things in her book. So
18:40
Speaker 1: the different literature from her book that talks about, you know,
18:43
Speaker 1: just performance and how performance translates into fashion and dress
18:47
Speaker 1: when it comes to black dandyism, so it's supposed to
18:50
Speaker 1: be like a like I feel like we might leave
18:52
Speaker 1: off feeling like we just left church, Like it's gonna
18:53
Speaker 1: be real deeps.
18:54
Speaker 2: When you're describing I'm thinking like maybe like Baptist Sunday's
18:57
Speaker 2: fine is kind of.
18:59
Speaker 1: See, but even that, I feel like you can lean
19:01
Speaker 1: into dandyism there because it's like the hats, it's you
19:04
Speaker 1: know what I mean, you gotta come to church a
19:05
Speaker 1: certain way. We have we have Black people have always
19:07
Speaker 1: used fashion to uh assimilate or to tell a story,
19:11
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So like I love when
19:12
Speaker 1: we have a chance to kind of like put that
19:14
Speaker 1: on display. I hate that it doesn't happen as often
19:18
Speaker 1: at this level as it should.
19:19
Speaker 3: Steal, but you know what I'm saying, Like we do
19:23
Speaker 3: what we do when we do it.
19:24
Speaker 1: I do think though some people are nervous because people
19:27
Speaker 1: be off brand with it. People could be it could
19:29
Speaker 1: give a little racist depending on who you are and
19:31
Speaker 1: what you wear, so be careful. Yeah, so taking it
19:35
Speaker 1: to the streets to be outside. We outside, we outside outside.
19:41
Speaker 1: The Met gall of twenty twenty five, anticipation has been
19:43
Speaker 1: the biggest thing that I've seen on x so tempting.
19:47
Speaker 1: Tony Underscore tweeted, everybody's hashed, everybody's teasing the Met Gala looks.
19:52
Speaker 1: Why is nothing good? Like they look nice, but nothing
19:55
Speaker 1: has moved me. All of us so cerebral and I
19:58
Speaker 1: guess it's to the point, but I'm tired of archive pools,
20:00
Speaker 1: archive pools all the time.
20:02
Speaker 3: Do you know what the archive pool is?
20:04
Speaker 2: I know what the archive is and where the pool is.
20:06
Speaker 2: But when you put them words together, is so.
20:08
Speaker 3: It's the same thing. It's like you pulling from like
20:10
Speaker 3: a vintage brand.
20:10
Speaker 1: So basically like a lot of times with the Met Gala,
20:13
Speaker 1: people feel like, oh, these celebrities get their stylace to
20:16
Speaker 1: go pull these like ancient, like vintage luxury pieces. But
20:20
Speaker 1: you still look like nothing, like it ain't given nothing.
20:22
Speaker 1: And that's the biggest say. Have you ever watched the
20:24
Speaker 1: Met Gala carpet and been like, what the hell are
20:26
Speaker 1: people wearing?
20:27
Speaker 3: That's what people are scared of. That's what this sweet
20:29
Speaker 3: is seeing. Okay, gotcha, And then.
20:34
Speaker 1: Somebody else tweeted it, says MoMA Yola, I'm so nervous
20:38

21:06
Speaker 2: for a third term, so I feel like he's gonna
21:09
Speaker 2: start showing up.
21:11
Speaker 1: Trump came to this met gala, I would just instantly
21:14
Speaker 1: be offended because I feel.
21:15
Speaker 2: Like I'm fly or what if he had the best
21:17
Speaker 2: fit on there.
21:18
Speaker 3: Leave it to black men that always just have room
21:20
Speaker 3: and hope for Trump.
21:24
Speaker 2: It's crazy.
21:24
Speaker 3: All right, all right, y'all, we're gonna wrap it up here.
21:28
Speaker 1: So I've given y'all a lot of the background this
21:30
Speaker 1: met gala talk for anybody who did not know what.
21:33
Speaker 3: Was going on.
21:34
Speaker 2: Now, I feel like in my heart, Jason really gonna
21:36
Speaker 2: be there myself up at what you're trying to bet.
21:39
Speaker 1: If he's gonna go number one, and then if he's
21:41
Speaker 1: gonna fall again this yere or not fall allegedly whatever,
21:46
Speaker 1: I'll bet it all, all right, we bet ten dollars. Okay,
21:51
Speaker 1: I'm betting that. You bet he's gonna go.
21:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he's gonna be there.
21:56
Speaker 1: I feel like he's tired of all of the like
21:57
Speaker 1: I did not fall. I did not fall. But if
21:59
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe I should try to run into
22:01
Speaker 1: Jason Derulo and get him falling just one time for.
22:05
Speaker 3: Pinky promise that you're gonna pay the bet when I win.
22:07
