- 0:00Speaker 1: It is the d or usually show your twenty twenty
- 0:02Speaker 1: five give me twenty twenty six connection. If you're going
- 0:05Speaker 1: to be in a Providence, Rhode Island. I would be
- 0:08Speaker 1: there this Friday and Saturday at the Comedy Connection, Providence,
- 0:12Speaker 1: Rhode Island. So come check me out if you take
- 0:14Speaker 1: a notion, and also tonight one more show at the
- 0:17Speaker 1: City Winery along with me and John Legend, d L
- 0:21Speaker 1: and d L. You know, it was so funny because
- 0:25Speaker 1: we were on stage last night and I asked him
- 0:27Speaker 1: about Nicki Minaj, you know, because she called him you know,
- 0:30Speaker 1: you know, and.
- 0:31Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, he said, but she called me that.
- 0:33Speaker 2: I was like, but you are you are?
- 0:36Speaker 3: You are?
- 0:40Speaker 1: You know what they call a gaydoo who doesn't do
- 0:42Speaker 1: that single? He's not, No, he's not.
- 0:49Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Yeah, So it wasn't. I don't know how that was
- 0:52Speaker 1: supposed to be the thing that, you know, brought him down.
- 0:56Speaker 1: Any dude with a husband probably does that, right, you know,
- 1:00Speaker 1: probably prerequisite prerecresite.
- 1:04Speaker 4: You know.
- 1:05Speaker 1: It's funny because inadvertently, because people people, we got to
- 1:11Speaker 1: remember he wasn't a protest. He was covering the protest.
- 1:14Speaker 1: It's like when a reporter I beds with somebody going
- 1:18Speaker 1: on any kind of mission. That doesn't mean they are
- 1:21Speaker 1: the thing they're covering. But I think that this, uh, this, uh,
- 1:25Speaker 1: this administration is so vindictive that this is the kind
- 1:29Speaker 1: of thing they do and rather than doing things. You know,
- 1:31Speaker 1: the economy is not getting better. You know, obviously it
- 1:35Speaker 1: was the economy seconds old. Immigration is off the rails, and.
- 1:40Speaker 2: You got time, more people, more reporters.
- 1:42Speaker 1: Got arrested for for covering a protest. Then people got
- 1:47Speaker 1: molested for arrested for molesting children.
- 1:51Speaker 3: It is a shame.
- 1:53Speaker 1: It's a stark it's a.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Stark reminder of what they value.
- 1:56Speaker 1: And I think it's primarily because those are all their friends.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Scenes looks, looks looked like a lot like Trump's Christmas list.
- 2:06Speaker 1: A lot of those people go to Mari Luga all
- 2:08Speaker 1: the time. And I just don't think even if you's
- 2:12Speaker 1: it's strange credulity to believe that you associate with a
- 2:16Speaker 1: dude you were mentioned thirty eight thousand times, accused of
- 2:20Speaker 1: all these things and you didn't do any of them.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Stop, you must have the worst luck ever. If you
- 2:27Speaker 1: had to look back back, you wouldn't be president twice.
- 2:29Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Here is the legendary D Nice Hie.
- 2:33Speaker 3: And if it wasn't for you, D nice Man, I
- 2:36Speaker 3: would be getting publishing checks. So wait a minute, Wait
- 2:42Speaker 3: a minute, they're paying you.
- 2:46Speaker 4: He's like, all right, I appreciate you.
- 2:48Speaker 2: The earth winning fire.
- 2:54Speaker 1: My daughter loves you. She is a big she's a DJ.
- 2:59Speaker 1: She didn't and everybody, like all the other DJs, started
- 3:02Speaker 1: trying to do versions, but they kept getting kicked out,
- 3:04Speaker 1: and she would say, yeah, they they let.
- 3:06Speaker 2: The nice play the whole song and.
- 3:08Speaker 1: That's we played for thirty seconds and she's all, get
- 3:11Speaker 1: on phones, get on the mike.
- 3:12Speaker 5: D Yeah, I am.
- 3:14Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 3:14Speaker 5: Actually, basically, I know it's different because I'm a female DJ,
- 3:18Speaker 5: and they look at me a different way. They try
- 3:21Speaker 5: and market me as a you know, try to mean
- 3:23Speaker 5: sexy and all this stuff, and that is not me
- 3:25Speaker 5: at all. Yeah, big tom boy ugly to me. But
- 3:28Speaker 5: you know I look just like you. So but basically
- 3:32Speaker 5: it's it's a marketing thing, like how do you market yourself,
- 3:37Speaker 5: especially in this day and age, because I know a
- 3:39Speaker 5: lot of people are switching the Twitch too instead of
- 3:42Speaker 5: doing Instagram. So it's just the marketing thing.
- 3:45Speaker 3: Yeah, I rock on Instagram. I won't say that they
- 3:48Speaker 3: just gave me a pass, but you know, I kind
- 3:50Speaker 3: of know how to play certain songs. And let's be real,
- 3:53Speaker 3: you know, people at record companies probably were looking at
- 3:56Speaker 3: me like, oh, you know, let them play our songs.
- 3:58Speaker 4: Right.
- 3:59Speaker 3: It's not really I g thing. It's more on the
- 4:01Speaker 3: record tic side. You know, it's nothing that I dealt with.
- 4:05Speaker 3: You know, one day I played a song for a
- 4:06Speaker 3: very long time and I was like, oh, okay, it's
- 4:08Speaker 3: still going all right.
- 4:11Speaker 5: I played a Michael Jackson song and they let it
- 4:15Speaker 5: rock and I was like, I didn't kick kicked off
- 4:17Speaker 5: right right? But then the next song they.
- 4:19Speaker 1: So how do you how would be young? Because this
- 4:21Speaker 1: is these are going to be interesting time, you know.
- 4:23Speaker 1: I think the one great thing about it is that
- 4:26Speaker 1: young people feel like they're kind of immune to everything.
- 4:29Speaker 1: So they clubs and stuff are going to come back.
- 4:32Speaker 1: I think relatively fast. They'll probably be an how do
- 4:34Speaker 1: you market yourself in this kind of new paradigm?
- 4:37Speaker 3: Man? I'll tell you man, Like, if you look at
- 4:39Speaker 3: like what my trajectory was, I had like two hundred
- 4:43Speaker 3: thousand under two hundred thousand followers, and then by that Sunday,
- 4:47Speaker 3: I was over a million. I did like almost a
- 4:49Speaker 3: million overnight, like literally overnight. All of the years that
- 4:52Speaker 3: I tried to market myself as this cool person that
- 4:55Speaker 3: really didn't work. The moment that I was just authentically
- 4:57Speaker 3: who I am and I played music the way that
- 4:59Speaker 3: I love, people just gravitated towards it. So you should
- 5:02Speaker 3: be who you are, Like, if you don't want to
- 5:05Speaker 3: be marketed in terms of like being sexy, and you
- 5:08Speaker 3: want to be who you are, like, there's an artist
- 5:10Speaker 3: for it and people could see right through that, man.
- 5:11Speaker 3: So I would say, just be authentically yourself. Also part
- 5:15Speaker 3: of the two J is that, like these relationships were important.
- 5:18Speaker 3: You know, there was no secret why people came to
- 5:21Speaker 3: my ig and not everyone else's. Like I had DJ
- 5:24Speaker 3: for Michelle Obama, DJ for Bernie, DJ for all of
- 5:27Speaker 3: these people. So when it was time for my live
- 5:29Speaker 3: and I felt like there was something special that was happening,
- 5:33Speaker 3: I made a phone call. It didn't just happen, Hey,
- 5:35Speaker 3: let me see what d Nights doing on Instagram? Like
- 5:37Speaker 3: no ill, I was calling people like and it was relationships.
- 5:41Speaker 3: So I've always maintained because I'm self managed, so I've
- 5:45Speaker 3: always maintained great relationships. Now where I am now, I
- 5:48Speaker 3: got to like let go of some things, you know,
- 5:50Speaker 3: Like I'm literally my own photographer, every promo picture I shot,
- 5:54Speaker 3: you know, like I was doing all of my marketing.
- 5:56Speaker 3: I was, you know, I'm the DJ, I'm the artist,
- 5:58Speaker 3: you know. But like now I got to let go
- 6:00Speaker 3: of a little things because it's starting to grow. But
- 6:02Speaker 3: in the beginning, like I did everything, I wore every hat,
- 6:05Speaker 3: Like I knew when to take a gig for way
- 6:08Speaker 3: less money than I knew that they had in the budget,
- 6:10Speaker 3: but I knew it was gonna be a great look.
- 6:13Speaker 3: So a lot of those things that I've did the
- 6:14Speaker 3: past were like great looks. Wasn't always about the money,
- 6:17Speaker 3: and those great looks open up other doors, and you know,
- 6:20Speaker 3: and where I am now, man, I really do try
- 6:22Speaker 3: to use my platform to allow other DJs to have
- 6:25Speaker 3: an opportunity to play music and to get their foot
- 6:28Speaker 3: in the doors and just to taste what it is
- 6:30Speaker 3: that I'm doing so they can.
- 6:33Speaker 1: Hit him up.
- 6:39Speaker 3: I really hit me up, like definitely hit me up.
- 6:44Speaker 1: All right, Well, okay, I think I've done my.

- 11:01Speaker 4: a desperate search. President Trump is urging the nation to
- 11:04Speaker 4: turn the page on the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Speaking from

- 11:11Speaker 4: get on to something else, suggesting Americans should focus on
- 11:15Speaker 4: issues like healthcare instead. He doubled down on claims that
- 11:18Speaker 4: the latest files clear him of wrongdoing, despite the documents
- 11:22Speaker 4: mentioning several high profile figures, including himself, former President Bill Clinton,
- 11:26Speaker 4: Elon Musk, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik. Trump insists a
- 11:31Speaker 4: conspiracy has been waged against him and that the country
- 11:34Speaker 4: needs to move forward. The DC government is investing in
