• 1:18
  Speaker 2: it's it's whatever.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: I'm going to be going to my aunts and uncles
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: it's the first holiday without my grandmother, so it's gonna
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: be a little weird. Yeah, you know. So, I mean
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: there might have been like one other holiday where she
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: was visiting my uncle, so I mean, you know, but
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: still it's gonna be it'll be different. It'll be very different.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: It's very different when you walk in the house and
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: she's not in her recliner.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Sitting right there in front of the door.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, come on in.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Yep. Yeah, it's sad. It's it's as you as we're
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: getting to the age right now, which it sucks, but
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: we're going to be losing people more and more because
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: we're getting to that age, you know, we're getting older. Yeah,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: and it's depressing. You know. We were just talking about
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: it that you don't realize as a kid how precious
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: time is with these loved ones and even as an
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: adult because we're just so busy where I know me,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I should have spent more time with
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: my grandmother. But it's like you're working. We work, work, work,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: and then when you have that free time, it's like
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: free time is too for me. Run errands, get the
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: house clean, take a little break. The last thing. Sometimes
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: you want to do is load everyone in the car,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: let's go visit, you know, drive a forty five minutes
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: to their house and stay there for a few hours.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: And we're getting home late. And I'm not I was
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: wrong for that, but I understand it. At least, you know,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: we're busy and it sucks, but we we The message
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: here is make the time. It's I know it can
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: be hard, it could be a little stressful, but make
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: the time because one day that time is not going
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: to be there and you won't have that option to
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: take that time out of your day or that drive
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: there and sit there.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's so true. And I was lucky enough,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: you know, just spend the time in the hospital with her.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: And she lived literally five six minutes from my house,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: so you know I would check on her, whether it
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: was through text, phone or go visitor. Yeah, you know,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: so I was lucky there. But it's gonna be different.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: But I'm looking forward to my uncle's cooking. He's a
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: really good cook. So I'm just looking forward to just
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: stuffing my face all day and hoping that I do
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: not get sick. Oh god, yeah, because I've been having
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: I have ibs. But it has been like it has
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: been a very bad flare up, like times a million.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's she's been struggling here for I'd say, since
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: you went to Florida.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, since I went to Florida. I thought I had
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: food poisoning, and I really truly believe it's my ibs
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: just like flaring up. I don't know, maybe I just
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: need new intestines or something, but.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I wish they had that. Yeah, you need a I
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: don't know, butefully gets better because it's Thanksgiving. I love
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Thanksgiving food. And besides turkey, turkey can bete pretty blah,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: I'd rather have chicken or steak, but all the sides
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: and Thanksgiving are my favorite.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Oh my god. I love stuffing. I love corn bread,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I love mashed potatoes and gravy.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, I'm just looking forward to it all.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: And I mean, speaking of Thanksgiving, Kevin's Naturals they I
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: love them, Number one I have. I kind of introduced
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Saana to them.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: You did. I like the the one chicken that they had,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: the Korean barbecae chicken, barbecue chicken.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I've been getting getting them for a while.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: They are healthier, a healthier version of a traditional meal.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: So like the Korean barbecue, and it is made for people.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: The backstory is Kevin who created this. He had an
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: on immune disease and some gluten analogies and it was
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: hard for him to find food number one that wouldn't
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: make him sick, and number two, if he had to
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: make it, it was this long process and you know,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: just it's just it is. It's a lot. It's a
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: long process and finding the ingredients that are healthy. So
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: he created these meals that if you have Celiac disease,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: you're you know, you're gluten free. Even it's keto friendly.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: You can eat this stuff and it tastes delicious. That's
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the thing. Is a lot of that kind of food
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: and taste disgusting. But whatever he does, whatever he's figured out,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: and it's all natural. It's there's no preservatives in it.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: It tastes amazing and you wouldn't think, Okay, this is
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: healthy for me, you know, yeah, and no artificial ingredients.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Like I said, no preservatives. And so now they have
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: a turkey and gravy version, so perfect for the holidays,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: especially Thanksgiving. I tried it out the other day and
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I'm obsessed with the gravy. It is the best gravy
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: that I've ever had. And I'm not even saying that
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: you could taste the garlic and the time in it,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: and and rosemary, like I think I tasted rosemary. It
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: was just really good, really that I was actually eating
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: it with a spoon. I know that's fairly crazy, but
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: it was so good. And I put it up to share,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: to share it with the listeners, and a few of
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: my friends, and a few listeners said, oh my god,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I my sister has Celiac disease and everythanks Giving we
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: can't she can't have any gravy because of her disease.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Where can I find this? You know? And a bunch
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: of people were talking about the gravy. So I didn't
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: know that traditional gravy really affects people with seliac disease.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: I didn't know that either.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So she said they tried one brand. She didn't
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: say the name, but she said all the brands that
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: they've tried have been absolutely disgusting. So I told her, like,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I'm not even lying to you, This gravy that Kevin's
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: has made is better than any gravy that I I
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: could make or that I've bought in the past. It's
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: just a regular gravy, so.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: So it comes in the package, so they can't.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: They sent us two things. So there was one with
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: it was a turkey breast. I'm guessing it is a
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: breastpiece of turkey, and the gravy was with that, and
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: then they sent a separate one that was just full,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: just totally gravy. So you know, like during Thanksgiving you
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: want a lot of gravy for your mashed potatoes or whatever,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: so that they sell it separately, which is great because
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: I use a lot of gravy, so I needed I
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: need the extra.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: You just eat it with the spoon.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I eat it with a spoon. It was so good
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: you're gonna have to taste it. But yeah, these are
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: They're great meals. I use them when I'm dieting and
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: at work. You know, I have a kitchen network, so
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: I'm able to kind of quickly whip it up. It's
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: not one of these toxic microwavable meals. It's something that
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: you actually put in a frying pan and you cook
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: it so it's healthier for you and they're delicious. There's
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: so many different ones. They do sell frozen ones. Now
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I'm seeing I was on the website and they have
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: a ton It's crazy how it went from the few
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: different items that I used to buy to now there's
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: like pages worth of all these different meals that you
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: can get, and the juices or the gravies that they have,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: like the koreaem barbecue sauce or I love it.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: The sauce was so good.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so I love shouting this from the rooftop
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: how good they are. You can find them in you know,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: I found them in Target and Shopwright. They have them
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: in Costco. You have to look online or go on
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Kevin's website. It's Kevin's Naturalfoods dot Com. Go on there
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: and you can type in your zip code or like
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: the product you're looking for, and it's it's going to
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: tell you what stores carry it, and you can see
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: all the different products that they have. And Thrive Markets
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: actually sells it too, So you can get it a
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: lot of places, and I highly recommend it, especially if
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: you're doing Keto dieting or you have otal immune or
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: celiac disease. This is the way to go for delicious
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: yet healthy meal.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: So I don't know if everyone saw CBS News, but
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: our very own La La was on CBS News. She
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: announced it last week that they were coming to her house,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: and you know, I wasn't sure if we should announce
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: it at that point because I'm like, maybe what if
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: they back out? But they showed up and they were
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: there for a really long time, like almost for two
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: hours or no, three hours, right, two and a half
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: three hours. Yeah, they did like an interview, and it's
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: crazy how they they took two and a half to
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: three hours worth of footage and they cut it down
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: to a two minute and forty nine second segment.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy. I it was a really cool experience.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I have to say that they were all very nice.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Spect I love the camera guy, I love the sound guy.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: They were awesome. The producer was nice. I really it
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: was a really cool experience.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: They did some b roll with the kids and me
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: with the chickens. That was hilarious. You still just send
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: me that video. Seana was filming from inside of me
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: chasing the chickens and the camera guy running behind us.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: That wasn't supposed to happen, you know.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: Well they got out, the chickens got out. Yeah, they said, oh,
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: can we get some footage of you? Guys doing something
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: with the chickens. I said, well, I can't let them
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: out because they're not gonna want to go back in.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: He goes, oh, well, we'll just get the eggs.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: I said, well, they're gonna jump out if get the eggs, Well,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: you know, push them back in. I said, okay. So
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: as I open up the hatch to get the eggs,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: the chickens are coming and I'm pushing them back in,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: and they're pushing them back in, and then they finally
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: won by one. I was like, pop, pop, pop, just
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: hop it on out. And the camera goes like, oh
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: my god, because then they run at you, you know.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: So they filmed that. It was cute, and then we
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: did the interview, and the interview was it was like
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: an hour. I felt it was so long.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: It was a long time.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like the questions and you know, I choked up
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: a few times. You get nervous, your brain goes blank,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: and I you know, I was, I was My brain
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: went completely blank a few times. But they didn't show
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: that luckily in on the news. What frustrated me, though,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: and I'm going to say this is that, you know,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: at first, I was worried that they're going to make
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: me look like an idiot because CBS News is more,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: you know, pro vaccine and all that, and me not
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: being pro vaccine. That's against what they believe, and their
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: listeners are their viewers. So I was worried about that.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: They asked me the questions. They asked me what happened
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: to Geoe. I told them the story, and the point
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: of them interviewing me was to get the story of
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: what happened to my child after he was vaccinated, and
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: that's what I thought the show was going to be on. Well,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: when it aired, it kind of did bits and pieces
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: of me saying that he I didn't want to get
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: him vaccinated. I was worried. I didn't know what to do.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: My hands were tied, and that he used to get
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: hives and rashes. But they cut out the whole point
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: of the interview, and it was so frustrating to me.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: I kind of knew they were going to do that.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: That's what news stations are known to do, is do
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: only give one side, like to only give half of
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: a story. Yeah, they've they've done it to me before. Hm,
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: you know, I mean, you're lucky they didn't lie through
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: the whole thing. Because that's also happened to me. But yeah,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: you know, I kind of knew they weren't going to
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: tell his full story because you know, people would be like,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: oh my god.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, but I feel like the point if
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: you look at someone's story, like this is what happened, right,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: no matter what the situation is, Like I went to
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: this restaurant and I ate there, and I was nervous
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: to eat there because I heard bad things and then
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: I got food poisoning. If you see that and then
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: you say I want to interview about what happened, and
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: you tell them the story, and all they show is
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: you saying I've been wanting to try this restaurant, but
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: I was nervous because I heard that people get sick there,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: and then I went there and ate, and then they
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: don't tell the rest of it, you know, like the
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: ending was the most important part, you know, So for me,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: the ending was the most important part of GEO had
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: a really severe reaction where his whole mouth and throat
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: went nomine couldn't swallow. That is important, but they didn't
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: put that in there. So in turn, even though they
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: didn't totally make me look like an idiot, they did
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: make me look at like an idiot because all the
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: viewers who watched it. I was reading the comments, even
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: though my brother said, don't read the comments, you're gonna
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: get upset. They were calling me stupid, left and right.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: That woman stupid, she's stupid. And look, look, she gave
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: him the vaccine and nothing happened. So many people wrote that,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: and what see, she gave him the vaccine and nothing happened,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: so she was wrong. No, something happened, it's just that
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: the news station cut it out and wouldn't wouldn't air it.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: So I'm very look siry, sure, I'm very Did you
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: write that?
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Did you write these people back and say that.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, as many people as I could, Some of them
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: did not respond. One lady respond saying I'm not reading that,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: and I had to. I had to be like a biach.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: I wrote back. I said, cool, nice convo, and this
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: is why your side lost. And yes, I'm assuming who
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: you voted for, but I guarantee I'm right. And she
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: blocked me because I was just fed up at that point,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: like I'm answering your question saying, something did happen to
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: my child? You're saying not reading that? And then, you know,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: and then blocking me. You know, I had to say something.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: But yeah, a lot of people on there and call
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: me stupid, calling me uninformed, calling me that I'm being
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: dramatic because they didn't hear that something actually happened. That
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: they didn't hear that I was actually right, that my
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: gut was right, that I shouldn't have given it to
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: my child. So I'm very upset with CBS News for
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: doing that to me. My liberal friend doesn't agree with me.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: He said, they told your story. Is that they didn't
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: tell my story. They made me look like this crazy,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: not crazy, but this woman or mom that is not informed,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: that has is worried for no reason, basically because vaccines
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: are safe and effective and there's nothing that's going to happen.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's I mean, that's their whole point is
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: to show that vaccines are safe and they work. And
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: you know, but as we all know, you need to
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: do your own research.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: You do, and people wrote that our research is not right.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Trust the scientists who's been doing this for years, Trust
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: the doctors who've been doing don't do your own research.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Because some people were coming to my rescue saying, no,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: she's a good mom. She did her own re search,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: and people like what research TikTok? You know, trust the doctor. No,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: you can't trust the doctor. You can't trust the scientists.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: You can't trust the pharmaceutical companies. I'm sorry, you can't.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: No, it's all about money. It's a money maker. And
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: you know that's why I'm a little afraid with RFK
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: coming in and kind of taking them down. But like,
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: I'm so happy.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope he can, but.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: I'm a little nervous that they're gonna fight back.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Oh yes, oh yes, they're not gonna let it happen.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: So I don't have hope that he can change anything,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: but I have hope that he's gonna try his hardest.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: And you know that's what I told them, because they
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: asked me if I have any concerns about him, and
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: I'm like, nope, I love him. You know a lot
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: of these the people, the commoners and the viewers and
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: whatever and more pro vaccine people come out and say, well,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: back in our day, we had measles and mumps and rebella,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: and we had the chicken pox. Now you want to
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: bring that back I And my response back is, okay,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: you had those things most people didn't die from it.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Number one and number two. Now, kids today, they might
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: not have measles, they might not have momps or rebella,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: but you know what they have. They have autism, and
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: they have allergies, and they have asthma, and they have
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: tons of autoimmune diseases, and they have cancers, and they
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: have all these health issues that you guys never had
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: when you were kids. So I would rather deal with
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: the chance of my child getting measles, momps, rebella, chicken pox,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: the flu than having all these long term health effects
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: that we don't know where they're coming from. But it
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: seems to correlate with the time that they put all
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: the vaccines in the schedule, when all these illnesses popped up.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: I agree, Yeah, yeah, CBS. Other than that, I looked
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: like a whale on the on the TV. Oh my god,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: I was screaming. I have a video of when I
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: started recording from the couch when it was coming on,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: and you hear me in the video. As soon as
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: they put my face on it, I'm like, oh my god,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: because I looked so horrible. I have a little bit
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: of a double chin and it's you know, but the
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: angle that they had. It was so bad that it looked,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: like my husband said, I looked like six hundred pound life.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: The faces on those the people with the how heavy
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: they are and their face has like the double neck, like.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: I don't think.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: So it was fine, Oh no, but thank you. I
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: definitely looked very bloated. But it's all.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Good, and we have to talk about your rooster.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Your rooster.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: In during the interview, he heard Lauren talking, Yeah.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: He loves me. Whenever he hears when he's outside roaming free,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: if he hears my voice, he comes up to the
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: window and he'll just crow. So because he got out
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: when the camera guy was over there, he heard my
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: voice doing my interview and he came up to the
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: window and he was just crowing and crowing, and I'm
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: like trying not to be distracted. And after I think
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: the fifth time that he crowed, the sound guy was
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: like cut. He's like, uh, I didn't know if it
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: was gonna be a problem, but yeah, the rooster. We
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: need to take care of the rooster. Can you take
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: care of him? And I was laughing. I'm like, yeah,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: he hears me, so he's trying to talk to me.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: So I had to go outside and catch him, put
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: him in the thing, and come back for the interview.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: He probably wanted food.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know what he wants. He just he's up
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: my butt. You know, he thinks I'm one of his hands.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: So it was funny. Yeah, they I'm like, you're in
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: the country. So there you go. Got a rooster crown
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: in the interview. But yeah, I wonder how much they
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: had to cut out from that part of the interview
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: with the crowing. But they didn't really put a lot
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: of me talking up there. It was mainly doctor Lapouk
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: and another doctor, and you know, they put bits and
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: pieces of me in there. But yeah, between being bloated
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: and my jaw after my draw surgery, I was just
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: like a balloon. My face is like a big balloon
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: on the TV. And everyone said, well, TV adds twenty pounds. Yeah,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: it added a.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: Bit, it does you know?
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: You forget about that. Yeah, it's the way the lens.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: My brother explained the science. He's like, it's a two
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: D lens, so whatever's up closer to it, it's going
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: to expand it. And that's why your face looked wider
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: and it looked I'm like, I know, but I'm already
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: having to know all this. He was in film to
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: school for like, he took classes in it. So yeah.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: On the show today we have saxophonist Bony James, who
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: just recently released his nineteenth studio album, slow Burn through
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Concord Records. Nineteen records later. That's crazy to me. What
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: is the most favorite song off the album?
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Oh? My gosh. You know, I always tell people when
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: they ask me that that the songs are like my
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: children and I it doesn't feel fair to pick a favorite,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: but I am very proud of the whole CD. Quite frankly,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: I think it might be the best record that I've
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: made so far, which is hard to admit after making
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: so many records.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So when do you like have time to really
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: write the music?
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: You know? It's it's been the case over my career
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: that after I finish a record, I sort of feel
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: like I just had a baby and I don't want
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: to even think about having and making another record. But
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: after eighteen months.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: A year, two years.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I just get this urge to start being creative. So
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I find the time to do it, you know. I Mean,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: I tour a lot, and I don't write when I'm
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: on the road. I only write when I'm at home,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: but when I am at home for periods of time,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: I just get ideas and then I start collecting them
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: and I put them down on you know, like a
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: little memo recorder or singing my phone, and then I
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: make little files in my pro tools, which just been
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: recording software, and then I just keep going back and
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: poking at them and it gets It starts really slow,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: you know, spend a few minutes at a time, and
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: then at the end I'm working, you know, twelve fourteen
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: hours a day to make a record, and it's it's
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: sort of snowball. So it's an interesting process.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: It is. Yeah, do you ever like feel like a
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: song is not complete yet?
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: I have felt that way in the past, and when
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: I listened to some of my other earlier music when
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I was younger and just starting out, I can sometimes
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: think to myself that song's not really finished, you know,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: maybe I could have done something else. But for the
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: last ten years or so, I really feel like I've
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: kind of been on in the groove and able to
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: get my ideas out so other people can hear them
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: in the way that I intended. So I think I'm
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: getting better at producing and writing and arranging records.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so you are currently on tour. Uh, why don't
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: you tell us a little bit about what the touring
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: has been like for you.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Well, I love touring. You know, people are often surprised
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: to hear after doing it for so many years. I mean,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: I've been touring now for almost forty years. I started
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: when I was young, working as a sideman for Morris
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Day back in the eighties. But I still love it.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: We just got off about five weeks on the bus
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: and I loved being out there on the bus and
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: traveling that way and playing a show every night, and
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: just the feeling that you get from live music is
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: something that is worth all the exhaustion that you might
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: feel from traveling around the country.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, Lala is joining us now. Hi.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Hi, oh. I was listening to your song All I
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Want is You, and oh my god, I sent it
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: to my husband because my husband is a big He's
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: into jazz, and every time he cooks dinner, every time
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: he's relaxing, he has to put jazz on. You know.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: He likes Chris Body and all that kind of you know,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: he's always listening to it. So I sent it to him,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: I'm like, what do you think? You know? And he's
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: obsessed right now. So I love it. I love it.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: I support that that feeling. I appreciate it.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: You think you he is probably like, he's a police officer,
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: so he is probably like, just playing it in the.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: He needs to relax, So that's his jazz is his relaxation.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Well it works that way for a lot of people,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: and I enjoy it myself.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: It's nice to make music has that effect on people.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, It's just I'm hoping it wasn't a lost art.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: My husband has talked about how, you know, a lot
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: of the kids nowadays aren't as into instruments as they
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: used to be. He's like, I wonder if it's going
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: to die out, you know, but my son he loves it.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: He plays a trumpet and he's in sixth grade and
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: he's amazing and he wants to keep going with it.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: So I think I have hope. I have hope for
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: the future generation that they continue and keep jazz alive.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: You know, I think it's sort of ebbs and flows,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: as most genres of music do. But this is when
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to go away, and I
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: think there were the reports of its devise. We're early
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, you know, when a lot
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: of the radio stations were going away and people were
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: very much into hip hop and rap. But I think
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: these things there's a lot of young people who are
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: making really vital music that's more instrumental, jazz based, and
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: it's encouraging to see.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent, that's what I want to see.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: So is there any other artists that you haven't worked
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: with yet that you would like to work with in
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: the future, Maybe for a twentieth album, for what?
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: For which album?
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: I said for a twentieth album, Fear Huts album.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, my twentieth album. Yeah. You know, it's hard
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: to say in advance. I try and keep an open
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: mind about it.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: I try and be really organic about it whenever I'm
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: making music, and I don't try to pre plan too
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: many things. I had not been familiar with October London,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: who's the vocalist on the song we were just talking about,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: and then he had a pretty big hit record last year.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: I heard him on the radio and I thought, see,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: this guy might be good to work with someday. So
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: when I was writing the song, I thought, Gee, it
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: needs to be a vocal. This Exophe is not quite
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: carrying it. And I wonder if it's October, London guy
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: would be interested. So, you know, we were able to
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: track him down and then he wrote and sang the lyric.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: And so it happens that way quite often, and I
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: have had been I've been so blessed to have so
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: many collaborations in my in my repertoire, you know. I mean,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: my record company recently put out a best of Bony
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Duet's playlist on Spotify, and it's like thirty songs with
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: other Wow artists, singers, and you know, people like George
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Benson and Al Chiro and Anthony Hamilton and Leila Hathaway
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: and some of the people that I really admire. I
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: guess maybe someone I've never been able to work with
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: is really my favorite artist is Stevie Wonder. I could
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: put that out there.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, put it out there and I'll manifest that.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: You never know, So you have over one billion streams
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: on Pandora.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Wow, that is crazy?
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Why crazy? I thought so too, you know, I mean,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: especially for someone that plays the saxophone in the day
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: and age. That's that's a very impressive statistic, and I'm
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: glad that the record company is happy about it because
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: it means I get to keep making records.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's amazing. Congratulate that. You know, we don't really
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: like broke Pandora.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: What's that?
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: She said? You broke Pandora. That's just amazing to see that,
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: you know, you.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Know, you'd be surprised some of the numbers of people, like,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: you know, your Taylor Swifts or Billy Eilish's. But you know,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: for someone playing the music that I play, it's really
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: a lot. And I'm super grateful that people are digging
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: it enough to want to stream it. You know, it's
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: it's definitely a beautiful thing.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: Would you ever want to incorporate like today's artist, like
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: a Taylor Swift or Billie Eilish into your music, I.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Mean, certainly that would be interesting, you know, I don't
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: It would depend really on who the artist is and whether,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: like I said, it's organic. I wouldn't never want to
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: do something just for marketing. But it's always nice to
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: work with other people who have their own fans and
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: then you can grow your audience which is something that
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: I am totally into. You know, I love having people
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: listen to my music. So but my my sensibilities are
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: definitely much more on the R and B side than
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: on the the total pop side. So like if Beyonce
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: wanted to do something, I would certainly say.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that would be that would be like very sultry.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: I could. I can just picture it, you know, so nice.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: One of the one of the cool things about this
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: new All I Want Is You track is that October
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: London is actually on Snoop Dogg's label that he owns
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: called Death Row Record. So Snoop Dogg has been like
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: tweeting and posting on Instagram of hymns like listening to
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: my song, wows how much it was a fan?
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: So that's fort while that that I mean, And from that,
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: you don't know who's going to reach out next, Like
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: you might get Beyonce, it, you might get someone right.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you never know.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: So where can our listeners check out your music and
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: get your album? Obviously Pandora h maybe he'll break Apple
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Music yeah right, yeah, I.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Mean the music is everywhere. You know. If people want
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: to track me down, just go to my website bony
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: James dot com and there's links to everything there. But
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: anywhere you can find music, you'll find that the music.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: So it's it's I'm very grateful.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: Awesome, and you are also on like we had mentioned earlier.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: So what are the next major cities that you'll be in?
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Actually on Thanksgiving Day? I am flying to Kansas City
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: because we have a show in Kansas City on the
• 28:13
