  Speaker 5: Like I said, I was gonna cook for Thanksgiving, I
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: ended up cooking a lot of stuff for Christmas. I'm
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: gonna end up cooking a lot of stuff. For New
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: Year's I'll be doing the same. So I'm just a
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: professional cook who loves to cook. And I'm not never
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: gonna say that my stuff is better than your mother's
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: or your grandmother's or you know, because I cook the
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: way I cook, and I'm no better than those ladies
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: and gentlemen who cook also. But I'm happy to be
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: asked to cook.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Are you at the point when you're passing down recipes yet,
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: are you just like, no, go buy the products?
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: No?
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: I pass? Okay, yeah, but they still can't do it.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Like what's your favorite meal to cook during the holidays?
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: It's one thing that you just enjoy cooking, and what's
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: one thing that you don't necessarily like cooking but everybody wants.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: Everybody wants my potato salad because it's so good. But
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: I don't feel like cutting up all that stuff, you know,
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: because you have to do fresh ingredients. So that's what
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: they want. But I don't feel like doing it all,
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: but I do it. I'm gonna do it for Christmas
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: and macaroni instead of buying my macaroni, I have to
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: make my own macaroni because Zori wants it. Zori is
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: my son who said, mon, don't buy your own stuff,
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: going in that kitchen and cook it. So I have
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: to make macaroni for him.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: It's Christmas to cook for himself now.
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: And guess what, it's no that boy cook is better
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: than me. His chili, his food, his roast chicken and
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: stuff that he just does. And I happen to have
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: a piece of it. He only gives me a little
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: piece and he won't tell me what he put in it.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: So he's a wonderful cook. You know we're gonna have
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: a cook off though.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: He's the one you trust with the recipes, like because
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: I know you probably passed the stuff down, but everybody
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: can't do it.
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: You can't know he does it. Yes, he does it
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: better than me. So but I'm mad.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Talk about how being in the kitchen just what it
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: does for you, like spiritually.
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: It's so I get such a happy feeling. And I
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: know whoever I'm cooking for when they leave, they're gonna
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: ask for a takeout container, and that I love more
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: than anything for them to say I need seconds. Girl,
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: That just puts a smile on my face. I am
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: more of a cook than a singer. So I enjoy well,
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: I enjoy both of them. But I say that I
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: cook better than I sing sometimes.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, does it make you go crazy sometimes when people
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: notice you for different things, Like I have a twenty
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: two year old son and I told him I'm coming
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: out here, and when I said your name, he didn't
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: say the music. He said, yeah, allhr stuff, it's all
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: over target, and he knows you from that type of stuff.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: But then my parents know you from your music and touring. Yes,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: make you go crazy?
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: Sometimes it makes me feel great because they know me
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: for both things, and I I you know, I just
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: feel good all the accolades that people put on me
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: and just say that they love this and they love that.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: Excuse me, guys, My voice is like diminishing, it's like
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: lo but I like it all.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Singing is your passion, Cooking is your passion. Did you
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: ever think that you could get paid off the passion
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: of cooking?
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: Never? I would always want to give that away. You know,
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: you don't grow up learning how to say this is
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: gonna cost fifteen dollars for this chicken dish. You just
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: give it out and say I hope you love it,
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: but never to get paid.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: But I'm blessed, especially now with all the products in stores.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I am blessed. I mean, I'm not gonna shy
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: away from that because a lot of people won't buy
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: food from people entertainers, especially because they think entertainers are lying.
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: Most of the time, I ain't lying. So that's why
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: I love what I do.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: We were talking to your family earlier, and we were
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: just saying, man, like, we don't know who uncle Ben is, right,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: not your mama. We don't know who that is. The
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: people on these boxes, we don't.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: Know who they are, if they real I know, but
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: you know me. Thank you so much for knowing me. Yeah,
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: I am so happy that people are accepting my foods
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: and my music. You know, I am happy about all
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: of that. Keep on doing it, you know at eighty one,
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: don't stop a guess that's right at all.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Did you ever think about, because you said, like, people
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: don't want to buy food sometimes from entertainers because the
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: don't believe it. Did you ever think about like not
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: putting you at the forefront of it, just like doing
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: the recipes and the mixes and putting it out there
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: just front of it up.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: I could have done that, but no, my face is
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: better period. That's right.
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: No, and that's exactly how Yeah.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: And people you know, when they see oh Patty, that's
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: my girl, she has food that we're going to purchase. Yeah.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: So no, I like it this way.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: And you have a bunch of celebrities who like license
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: their name, but your products always feel personal? So how
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: involved are you in the recipes and the quality.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: Control and the I'm totally involved in everything, Zori, Alex
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: and Charles. They'll go to the people that they have
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: to go to the sea to show my food and
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: let them taste my food. But before that happens, I
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: have to taste it. So sometimes we go back like
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: ten times making the sweet potato pies to make sure
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: the recipe is right. So I'm totally involved. If there's
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: no Patty in the decision, there's no food.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Word, you know, its fatter. I wanted to ask you know,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: for yourself, you would like the bridge when it comes
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: to the older generation and younger generations. Sometimes you don't
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: see that. Sometimes you know the older generation or say
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I'm only staying with mine, But I feel like you
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: open your arms to so many different people, right. Why
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: is that? Because it doesn't matter if you're talking to
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Lauren's grandma on the phone, you're just this kind and
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: so you're talking to a younger artist. Why is it
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: that it's that thoughtful of Why? Why does that mean
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: to most of you?
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: It means a lot to maybe because they trust my
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: food and my music because everything that I do is
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: from my heart. It's like I said, I would give
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: the way, but now that it's gonna sell, I'm not
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: gonna I mean, that's just because it's from my heart.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: Everything that I do is for my heart and will
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: take time. On the macaroni recipe of making sure it's
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: mine because I make it just like the one that
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: you're buying in the store. I make it like that.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: I have to say that I have a little more
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: cheeses and mine than in this one. Maybe three more cheeses. Yeah.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: And I know currently you were number two behind Pearl
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Milling and Walmart, Kroger and H. E. Bow Reasonable and
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: we know you. We can walk in the stores and
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: we know exactly who you are, I mean starting out
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: in this and you're doing it just so easily and gracefully,
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: like starting out, did you? What was the plan?
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: Was it always let me you know, go into these
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: big retailers or like, did you want to just feed
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: your people?
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: Like what was your goal?
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: I wanted to go into the big, the big, big places,
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: you know, with my food. Like what's girlfriend's name?
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: Shut up the girl?
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: No?
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Who did you just.
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: Say Tabitha Brown?
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: Oh? I love Tabitha, but miss Martha she's doing it.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: And so would Tabitha if she was not a black woman,
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: you know. So I know why the bird sings and
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: all that stuff. So I want to be big, you know,
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: why not? And like to say when you look at
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: the box, you said, oh, she looks like me, or
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: she cooks like me. So I'm buying and stuff. I'm
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: gonna cook my own because people do cook much better
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: than I do, you know. But I am happy to
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: say that they've been buying my food.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: You know, food is deeply emotional for like the black community, right,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: So what memories or lessons from your family kitchen or
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: put into your products?
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: My mom, I was making fresh fried corn off the cob,
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: you know, not the can, not the frozen, the fresh
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: that you shuck and then you cream it and then
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: you add butter, half and half cream of sea salt,
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: and black pepper. So she was making it one day.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: But before she made that, she fried the bacon because
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: we liked bacon in our food. Sometimes it could have
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: been turkey bacon, but no, it was polke bacon, and
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: she would fry the bacon. So I tried to do it.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: One day, I fried that bacon and I have a
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: mark on my chin. That bacon fell back in the
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: pen and it was over.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: But I learned how to That grease popped up, you know,
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: and I said, but I'm still gonna cook. And then
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: I learned to cook even more safe, you know, because
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: there's a way to cook that you're not gonna burn
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: the house down or burn yourself up. But I learned
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: by watching my mother and father cook everything everything, and
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: it was quality.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: You learned about ownership and longevity from transitioning from the
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: music business into retail and consumer products.
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: Oh, it was so good to be an owner of yourself.
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: It's just like with your music. If you own your music,
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: you know, you're so much better than just letting a
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: company take care of you. So I've learned with Zy,
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: Charles and Alex, we don't make many mistakes when it
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: comes to now presenting our foods to the public because
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: they're truly businessmen, and I am whatever. I am the
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: woman behind the I think I'm the woman behind the
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: as to regud you know. So they do the hard work.
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: And like I said, I'm blessed to be surrounded by
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: smart people and people who are not going to let
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: anyone take advantage of me.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: And I don't think you would know that that they
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: fully own it all like you and your son, that
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: you'll own it own. Every decision is from y'all. Every
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: time we put something out there, whether it's pancake batter,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: whether it's peach cobbler, whether sweet potato pie, it's it's
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: all done and sort over from you.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: Oh, yes, that has totally.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: There's nobody in behind you a watering your product down.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I'm making sure it goes here.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: Everything and we don't mind doing it because that's what
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: we're supposed to do a lot of people lazy out
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: and said, well, I'm go with it so far, I'm
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: not going to do this. I'm not going to do that.
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: It will just happen.
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: Well, my voice is it worse? And yeah, we take
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: care very great, Yes we do.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: You sound fine.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: I mean everywhere.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: With these other queens, so much fun. We go back
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: February nineteenth, we start again, and that's been fun. Fine.
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: I've been doing my own shows also with my bad
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: so I never stopped. I don't want to stop. But
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: I'm recording, so don't say god it's been fifty five
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: years since she had a record out. Well, it's been
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: about twenty twenty years and I've been working on it
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: for the last year, so it's gonna happen.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: So you record music right now. That's why you're talking
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: about your voice.
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: Traveling.
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there's been a lot of wonderful things that I've
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: been doing, this working on mine throat.
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, in the Queen Store.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: You guys, we were talking earlier about you guys being
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: top ten grossing tours for urban tours.
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well that's really great, really, and the four of
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: us have so much fun, although we don't get to
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: see each other too much because we all have fifty
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: minutes on stage. As soon as that girl goes off,
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: that one's on, and then that one's on. It's like

  Speaker 5: a well oiled machine, the way this thing works. And
• 13:58

• 14:04
  Speaker 5: the babies.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: Oh they come on prior to you guys. No, yes, okay,
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: I saw you there. You guys are both with Black
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: Promoters collective.
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: Right, Yes, So, I mean they've been doing a great job.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: And it's just good that you see all black women
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: doing it together, which sometimes it doesn't happen, but it's happening,
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: and it's so even. It's just good. It's good and

• 14:44
  Speaker 5: to me about how they're on my shoulders and if
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: it wasn't for people like Patti La Belle, they wouldn't
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: be Destiny's job when they were. Yeah, So I was
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: truly honest that night. I was a superstar.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: You can't be surprised when you hear stuff like that.
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: I was when Zuri called and said, Cally wants Kelly
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: wants to give you your roses. So I said why
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: and what? I didn't really understand that Her husband called
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: Zuri and said that Kelly wants to do something for
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: miss Lavelle. And when I went, they told me what
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: they were going to do. I said, well, just called
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: me up and it was just one of the better
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: moments in my life to hear the ovation and to
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: see the young girls Monica and they're all coming to me,
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: just giving me love. And you don't get that out
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: all the time.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I feel like you would like you should like this
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: is well if not you who.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so many others, you know, but it depends on
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: who you like. And those little girls like Patty.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Patty, But I mean it's like, you know, you're you're
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: kind of like the last of a dying breeze. Like
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: it's not too many miss Patty Labelle's left, right, You're right.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Maybe I can't even think of too many others.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: Of course, you know Stephanie Mills and the Shaka Khan,
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: which is great to see.
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: Oh yes, it's like so many of us, but there
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: are so many of us who aren't working, you know,
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: which is not good. It's just kind of sad because
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: those ladies can sing. But people forget black women quicker
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: than they do white. So they're forgotten for the reason
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: is the color of their skin. And you know, but
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: we still persevere because I know, I know that I'm good.
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: You know I'm not. There's like, always compare myself with
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: my girlfriend Celine Dion if you ask me to, And
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: I always said, gosh, that girl killed that with her
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: ratings or her cells and we did the same song
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: the same way, And you know, I gotta be real,
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: It's just one of those things. Do I love her? Yes,
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: But let's get a little even stuff going around every
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: now and then, you know that that would be wonderful.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Has there been a challenge in the product business too?
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: Hm? Hazard sorry, said no, they've been small and lately
• 17:13

• 18:55
  Speaker 1: You got kids, you got grandkids running around.
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: I know, I cop for the babies, you know, But

  Speaker 4: This I saw this story. Queen Latifa was talking to
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: Jennifer Hudson about how she was ready to leave the
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: entertainment business and you. She didn't really go too much
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: into detail, but she just said that you were the
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: reason why she stayed, Like you came into her life
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: and she decided not to leave the entertainment business.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because you know, I've been there where they're going,
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: and I know once we get in, we're in and
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: don't stop something that you love. They all love to
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: sing and they can sing. That's that's a big difference.
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: Sometimes sometimes people sing and they can't. But all these
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: young girls they can sing.

• 23:40
  Speaker 5: I have a lot in mine. I just really don't
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: know yet it's a lot in mine.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there was the there's a lot of stuff that
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: circulates from like Facebook to everywhere about you. They said
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: that you're serious. Was be like, it was sixteen episodes
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: and you were producing every single episode, And I was
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: in here asking people today, it was like, that is
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: not true.
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: Child. The stuff I've been reading about me, I said,
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: really at eighty one and a half, twins, twins, real babies, congratulations,
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: so many things like the homeless shelter.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: And the hospitalsp Yeah, they said that you were creating
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: a hospital for homeless people to get completely free services.
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: Of course it's true. No, none of that stuff is true.
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: Come on, Eliah, I did say it that AI is
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: the reason for all of this false stuff going around
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: about me. So when people read it, they call fifty times,
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: They'll call Kim. Is it true that Patty had twins?
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: Is it true that Patty is building a hospital. Is
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: it true that she's married? Is it true that she
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: has this going on? It's all AI and they're doing
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: it not just to Patty LaBelle, but to so many entertainers.
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: They're catching because so many people believe that and it's
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: just not true. And the sooner we get the word
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: out so people can stop doing this, having privileges to
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: just say anything about anybody, you know, it's it's not good.
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah in Twins at eighty one, that's Rosemary.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Baby, that did you sell?
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: Awful?
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: It's awful. All the AI stuff is not. It's just disgusting.
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: And when people believe it's worse than that.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Did you what? Jamaine Dupre said. Jamain Dupre said that
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: AI singers should have their own chart, like their own
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: billboard for AI artists, their own platform for AI artists
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: and their own stuff. It shouldn't be mixed with regular artists.
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: They just need to shoot AI uh where you know,
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: and ended it shouldn't be two, it shouldn't be AI
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: and then real.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: God, no, I know AI is like you know, a
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: part of the times, but for real like singer singers
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: like you who've always like your craft, like when people
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: talk about Patty LaBelle. It's like you can't get close
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: to her. Right when people have the argument of like
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: whether we should accept it or not, do you take
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: it as like a disrespect thing when people are saying,
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: yes you should because this is where things are going.
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: You can't get around technology.
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: Yes, should I do well, I'd say that they should
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: keep going.
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: Or do you just take it as I said, shoot
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: it in the book I did.
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: You can shoot it to kill it, saying it's awful,
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: it's a waste of time.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that killing I heard it.
