You guys know. Sorry, I'm like, I guess like it's like hard social graces assume you guys know everything. But the bagel from Trader Joe's. Oh, I haven't used it yet.

Speaker 5

I got the Mommy Mommy's two. It's like three new seasons a Trader Joe's.

Speaker 3

Oh really, I do. I just I know that everything bagel one and I do. I just licked my hand put a little Everything is so being good. I saw an empty bottle on the sidewalk through day and I was like, that weren't empty. I like, would potentially still like it is.

Speaker 1

That's a game. Everything about the bail.

Speaker 7

I'm just gonna say, Trader Joe's, it really is the best thing ever outside of them not being located in any hood in any city, but outside of that, they are amazing.

Speaker 1

Yeah. Well, okay, I was asking the number count of people sharing space quarantining because now I know too so when I was young, when I was younger, when I was younger, my dad was notorious for he was one of the dads that would mark the juice bottle with the sharpie and all the worst. Don't drink my juice, like this is my ship, don't touch it. How many people with you?

Speaker 3

Oh?

Speaker 1

Send them on the video?

Speaker 5

Are you sure what you're on?

Speaker 1

One night?

Speaker 5

I'm sorry, Yes, it's chicken, Tara.

Speaker 1

I was saying, wait, are we are we eating? Protested Bill not doing.

Speaker 5

I mean because Alana eating?

Speaker 1

Yes, thank you giving producing the snack.

Speaker 3

Wait, I have a question. Would your dad write dad or his first name?

Speaker 1

No, he would just mark the apple juice bottle where it was last, where he last. He was super petty, and then.

Speaker 3

Assumed it's dad's. This is like the level of checking on the kids.

Speaker 1

You just had issues. We had issues about the juice level. Like in a black and a black household, the juice juice is like that's that's you know, that's currency. I can have all the water I want as long as I feel the water bottle back up, you know, by the time it gets to the bottom. But but you got to go to the you can't house juice. I don't think I was housing juice. And he would also house his intimate peak compile, you know, the intimate pecancakes. Yeah. Yeah,

he was petty with them. But I'm only asking now now that I'm sharing space and I'm like looking forward to like my snack, and then somebody that got you it's.

Speaker 3

I might be a little petty myself. What was it? What was it?

Speaker 5

Please tell me? What was the snack? Please me.

Speaker 1

You know, it's it's just like it's it's it's a community here. So I'm trying to be Wait have you noticed, I'm like, look in this direction.

Speaker 8

Right now.

Speaker 1

You ain't locked in it. You ain't locked in a coat all you.

Speaker 3

I just.

Speaker 1

Wonder it might head ten people to left watching it right now? Just about what the you know what we're we're eight deep. We're eight deep. No, but I'm it's a large space too, so but almost no, I'm in I guess a lot of trust.

Speaker 5

That's a lot of trust.

Speaker 1

Well, I mean, the thing is is that one like we're the only people here, and so you know, I can go outside, you know, visit the apple orchard or you know whatever, and I'm I'm into one's guest house. So I mean, but wait, why are you acting like networking isn't a part of life?

Speaker 5

Networking networking.

Speaker 1

Network in your line of business. Yes, you've been a professional. Don't act like you just some intern off the street. Like you connect with people and you when she hits the fan, I got you, I got you.

Speaker 7

Oh yeah, you know what a mirror that's networking on a different level though, like having infinite ability to stay at a State orchard.

Speaker 1

No that's no, that's not amazing. No, it's not. You don't I don't think you have to be in a privileged position to get those favors.

Speaker 5

I just said, you're a really good person. He doesn't know what I'm being serious.

Speaker 1

I don't you guys us send me apples a mere Yeah, I need a peck.

Speaker 5

Are you making apple sauce? Like baby boom?

Speaker 3

Oh my god, I just catch that ship. Yes, that was as she brought back to the big City.

Speaker 1

Yeah, there's enough eggs and enough apple sauce.

Speaker 3

Do you feel like the chickens a couple of friends upstate? Do you feel like extra isolated in your quarantine? Are you like giving the fuck away?

Speaker 1

Nah? I can't wait like this all right?

Speaker 3

So what to come back?

Speaker 1

I left? I left my apartment, uh, like a four in the morning driving back. And you know, normally I would say that the first time I came up to Westchester, like I was making fun of people because my whole jown was like I can't go nowhere where there's not a twenty four hour pharmacy near or just something, and I would make fun of all world. Are upstate property?

Speaker 3

No?

Speaker 1

No, no, no, I'm like whatever. But now when I drove here today, I was relieved to get here, like I think I'm done with cramped living and just I mean the city is Yeah. I read an article someone made Rose the article the other day.

Speaker 4

They were talking about how post COVID they think that New York is going to be a much younger city because older, you know, like just what you're saying, like they're not going with that.

Speaker 1

Everyone's leaving. Like in my apartment building right now, seventy of all the residents have left. Good. Yeah that that that remains in the air. And you know, with my my, my joint at least coming up, I might be joining them. Like I've already looked at like four cribs up here, already upstated mirror, we'll be neighbors. And that's ridiculous. I love that. Wait, you're you're up here now in Westchester too, but not I mean Westchesters of large. Can you name

your your borough? Repub borough? What part voting on Hudson, which sounds like it's not it's almost Hudson. I got. I got my eyes on Brewster. Brewsters, like that's the that's the Williamsburg I'm hearing that's the Williamsburg of Westchester. He can that's another place that I can see that you think, you like a.

Speaker 5

Lot of where are you?

Speaker 3

I'm in Brooklyn. But I'm also like, I'm too old to do this.

Speaker 1

I learned.

Speaker 3

Thirty three and I'm like, oh, thirty three Boro, that's when Jesus returned, and that's when I'm left. I'm too fucking my And you know, I'm comfortable here. My partner and I are here and we're like we've just been driving up to Bear Mountain every fucking weekend and we're like, uh, just it's just like I got to get the fuck out of here. Event Like it just is part of me.

Is like it's like sweet here, and everybody's like, hey, hi, there's just like tenderness, this like New York City tenderness. But yeah, I think like it's I feel like thirty plus thirty five plusses just changing the way we thought we.

Speaker 1

I need space, I need air.

Speaker 5

I never thirty five year olds in Brooklyn. That's going to be like, oh, I of everything.

Speaker 3

It's like sleep away camp. I'm like, oh yeah, New York is like sleep away camp. And I'm I'm exhausted at the end of the summer, and.

Speaker 1

A lot of people don't know about sleep away Camp. I assume that you went to sleep away Camp.

Speaker 3

I didn't. I was a little nerd who would like, do you know, like day camp And also just like I did like teen tours one summer or two, but I was like went home on the weekends to be close to my parents' tour. It's like you go to like we went to like Virginia Beach and like Maine. You take like you know, trips or whatever. But it's not like I don't know, it's not like.

Speaker 5

Like bus trips, but like certain exactly exactly.

Speaker 3

Yeah, yeah, so I did that. Sleep Away Camp was like for kids who were ready to start like sexually experimenting, and I was like, I'm going to just fail at that for a while. First, like you know, Sleepway Camp.

Speaker 5

People fuck and did y'all not see that horror movie from the eighties, But I want.

Speaker 1

To say I've seen it because that meant what my age was.

Speaker 4

So Sleepway Camp was a camp designed for teens that were beginning to be sexually active.

Speaker 1

Or hold on, hold on a second, no, Steve, Steve want to add in. Steve rarely interject. I went to summer sleep away camp for nine summers. I didn't get once. Okay, so I don't know what the heck she's talking about.

Speaker 3

Okay, I'm about your life.

Speaker 1

I knew that I paid for at least ten people to sleep away camps.

Speaker 5

So wait, Bill said he got he got his though, right, No, no, no.

Speaker 1

I never got laid at Sleepway Camp.

Speaker 2

I later went back and was a counselor out of Sleepway Camp whereverybody fucked all the time.

Speaker 1

And that is I was going to say, please, don't finish that story, yo, yo, did y'all see the preview for the new show on Bravo that's all about like adult like sleep away camps.

Speaker 7

Have y'all seen this? This is like a no oh son. So there are like these places out in the country where.

Speaker 1

Like, wait, weren't you at uh the wedding with me when we did that David Crosses and Amber Tamley, weren't you there? Okay? They did it what you're describing, like good, I'm sorry for introduce.

Speaker 5

No no, no, I don't, but they do.

Speaker 7

So it's just grown up doing like all of the kind of grown up version of the kid games and people know, you stay there for like a week or so or whatever and buck, Wow, I just it looks so fun.

Speaker 1

All right, So when David and Amber got married, they did it like a sleep away camp. Only problem was it was October, so it was freezing. But like that weekend they did, you did twelve year old ship, like the potato sack race and the zip line thing and all that stuff, but for a weekend.

Speaker 5

And you know, I said, cool white people should cool white people like summer camps.

Speaker 7

Like as we as you know, as you see who's asking the questions about Sleepway Camp, we don't really know not something that we did so for the other.

Speaker 3

Camp and all that stuff camp like the like potato sack existential freedom, fun or whatever I.

Speaker 1

Said, potato sack race. As in I was trying to think of like something that's camp be for a twelve year old but uh, you know, I mean there there.

Speaker 3

Has to be. Like I went to a wedding that was like that, these two dudes who got married, and it was a Sleepway camp like that for like a long weekend. But I'm just not an activities person. I'm like, let's just like smoke up the edge of the lake and like people can hook up and whatever, but like, why do I have to like hold on a rope, you know what I mean, like and swing or whatever.

Speaker 5

So we would smoke and then we roast like marshmallows along.

Speaker 3

Yeah, that's my shit.

Speaker 1

I'm shocked. I'm shocked that you're slackery is I would have figured that you were like off for the adventure.

Speaker 3

No, it's more like to talk about you know what I mean. It's like it's not like the physical.

Speaker 1

You know, I'm with you, okay, so there no zip line. It's this I feel it's this. I don't know with my idea of Corona body around the corner. I'm down a lake. Dude, it's getting scary. How far are you away from your Corona body? How many dog it's getting scary, dude. This is day forty This day thirty nine. Um, I think that's taken off like twenty one pounds. I love it. I love it, But this time I'm not trying, which

is scaring the shit out of me. So it's probably like the last time I read this, I was like day forty six, day forty seven, we were there, you know, like I'm wearing I'm wearing d nce gear now, like normally I have to wear my wear my like make my own clothes and all that stuff.

Speaker 3

Is it more about food or exercise?

Speaker 1

I think it's eighty percent food twenty percent exercise right now. Okay, So the greatest thing I've discovered besides Trader Joe's, there's there's a woman who is starting a company. I've been begging for carbless bread for the longest. Carbless bread.

Speaker 5

Yeah, He've been talking about this, He says.

Speaker 1

Gods have heard my cry. Matter of fact, hang on a second. She there, she's there. What's that? So this is barbleous corn bread?

Speaker 3

I'm like, I'm like indulging in bread like normally. I'm like, you know, you're like out of the fucking house so much that I have like a system of how I like operate or whatever, like a crazy person bringing like carrying like a disgusting smoothie container for twelve hours after I step you know what I mean. It's like, what the fuck kind of life am I living? Well?

Speaker 1

So what's your daily what's your daily ritual? You bake your own Now it's the typical day.

Speaker 3

What time do you get up typical pre COVID times or during.

Speaker 5

Now now in the time of the Rona.

Speaker 3

In time of the Rona, I'm getting at at like nine, and I start working around eleven, and I work from eleven to seven or eight.

Speaker 1

Just ask, when you open your eyes at nine, how long is it before you realize what you've woken up into. I eve a temptation to not look at the news of the phone, to see like, is this the day that we have a cure? Is this that you know?

Speaker 3

I have been like totally avoiding the news almost completely. If I do listen, it's like democracy now, you know, democracy now, listen to that maybe once a week, once or twice a week. But I'm just like the New York Times is like, oh, Corona charts. We have another chart. It's like they're just like loving this shit, you know what I mean. It's like it's not like new information or whatever. I'm not watching Como. I'm like, great, I'm so glad he's like being a human being or whatever.

But I'm not. I can't even indulge in the change. So I and like, I try to do some sort of workout.

Speaker 7

How do you prepare for this though? As a writer, Like how do you feel about this the industry or in your creativity.

Speaker 1

How do you?

Speaker 3

I had too much fucking shit going on, and I'm like, how did I? At first, I was like so angry at myself. I was like, why did I think I could live three lives in one body. I was so harsh to myself where I was like, you stupid big you could live three. I was like so mean about it. And it's like, yeah, I don't know that's what the world was. But now and so I had like development stuff that I'm working on, like my own writing, and

then uh, you know, raising up young writers projects. I was doing stand up and I was doing uh like production services, this this company that I'm I'm building star Picks and production services. It's like, who the fuck knows stand up? I'm like, I'm not gathering people together till there's a vaccine. And now with writing, I'm like, yeah, bitch, focus and just be And I got enough going on, and I'm like and I'm not like i I'm I'm

like a busy body. So it's like I think I just like stayed and then the creativity kind of comes as it comes, and I do take like at night, I'm like, no emails on weekends, no emails, just like get the fuck away. It's hard on like Sunday and sometimes like maybe I will catch up, but it's like no, just stay away. That work is there all the fucking time, you know, it's like available there. Yeah, yeah, what do you?

Speaker 1

What do you? Because even now, like I'll stay busy, but I still find myself like avoiding certain things that I should be doing, Like what do you creative wise? What do you what do you keep putting off?

Speaker 3

You mean like your screenplay type of thing exactly? You know that I have this thing where it's like I have this essay I want to write about how COVID is not the great equalizer that I just can't write. People are like, oh, equal equal. It's like no, COVID's exposing how poor people are poor and rich people are rich.

It's not the equal it's the system revealer. I've just been wanting to write this essay and I'm like, I don't know myself as an essay writer yet, but scripts, I'm like really sort of and like outlines and shit and pitches are like coming to me. But this essay writing vibe, I'm just like, I guess because I don't read essays and I like barely read.

Speaker 1

So has there has there been any thought or temptation to resurrect half a project with abs via Zoom Because the thing is is that even when I watched when I watched the show, a lot of your extras were YouTube communicating via Skype or whatever the technology was in twenty eleven, twenty twelve, So it's almost like a broad city was created for Zoom culture years before. Now we live by Zoom. I wasn't doing this four weeks ago.

Speaker 3

I'm a big facetimer. You know. I love to FaceTime. So I'm glad that I like was on that tip before it was forced upon me. But like, Abby and I actually have shit going, so I'm like, we're already doing the things we have. We're like, oh my god, thank you Jesus that we have had an animated pilot going that we're like working on that, and we have a couple uh scripted like live action stuff that we've been just like raising and raising and raising.

Speaker 1

You don't did you at least warn before. The thing that I don't like about where we live now is the amount of people that FaceTime you without warning you that they're face timing you the FaceTime like it's the new, like it's a phone call because we're all dusty.

Speaker 5

We're all dusty, and yeah, yeah, I'm like you.

Speaker 3

I don't even call someone. I always pretext. Yeah, even a phone call. I'm just like phone call. But is it the nineties? Like it's just too real. Uh, it's too everybody's like in their own world and like on the phone, I always pretext before any you can't. I mean, like, that's that's aggressive FaceTime, straight up FaceTime. And if I FaceTime someone and they don't pick up, I apologize and say I know that was aggressive.

Speaker 7

Nah, whoever not post rono, you can FaceTime, okay, straight up.

Speaker 1

There's a six four six person and that like will FaceTime me five times in a row and then I'll you know, when when you do the you ever do the text thing where you just do the sort of the bunch of exclamation points. They never identify. You should know who it is, Yo, got an idea for a song? I know who? All right? So there's there's an industry veteran. There's there's an industry veteran that I.

Speaker 3

Oh my god, I love that side.

Speaker 5

I love trivia. It's like trivia.

Speaker 1

I'm gonna put this. No, he's an industry veteran, and I believe that his goal is to get a prominent singer piano player father that was just recently on our show a song right now and wants me to be the bridge that leads to it. But like I know, I was like, call six times facetiming.

Speaker 3

Like you're not I'm not leaning into this five times in a row FaceTime to help you bridge the success of you know what I mean.

Speaker 1

But he's like six, he's like sixty eight, So you don't know, Oh.

Speaker 5

This is somebody else.

Speaker 3

Yo.

Speaker 5

You must be getting a lot of those because somebody else hit me up, like I got a song.

Speaker 1

You think that, yeah, it's happening.

Speaker 3

Well, do you guys find like you're living in your truth or because it is so blank where it's like you know, like you're like, I'm not fucking answering this, or if you do, you're like, I'm not doing your your father musician, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1

Whatever the thing is, I'll no, I'll go further with now. I just have to bluntly tell them that I'm not in that space like this whole tell me what you think about this song or you know, I'm doing this, uh this COVID benefit thing. I want you to They're trying to do like a Philly we Are the World thing. It's like, well haul and notes cool.

Speaker 5

Wait not you should no, No, It's like it's.

Speaker 1

The weirdest lineup. It's like they're trying to organize this we are the Philly like Philly Forever.

Speaker 3

And uh, I'm digging that part of it, at least that like black and white truth part of it.

Speaker 1

I mean, I'm you know, I'm doing enough fund raising. I'm just you know, I don't know.

Speaker 5

Are you watching a lot of like shows on white are YouTube or I like.

Speaker 3

I don't consume much normally, so I'm like just watching the fucking Sopranos for the first time, Like I never saw yeah, and I'm like, can you believe of violence?

Speaker 1

Zoe just says hello to you, Zoe gra to me.

Speaker 5

She said, she's obsessed.

Speaker 4

I've never watched Sopranos either. Wait, are you proud of this?

Speaker 1

Heill you just landed on. I'm not really proud.

Speaker 4

I don't care because because we were talking about it, because we were talking about on Twitter the other day and I was telling people like Yo. Sopranos gets all the love, but it was really Odds that really did it in terms of breaking the in terms of you know what I'm saying, what we now know is peak TV was the game changer, you know what I'm saying. So by the time Sopranos came around, I was like, I don't care about this ship. I just saw, you know, motherfuckers get killed in jail.

Speaker 5

You know what, you an't even watch Game of Thrones. You're just not an HBO here did you stop?

Speaker 1

That's not true. I'm an HBO head. I've been watching watch. I did watch. I did watch Boardwalk Empire. I did. I did like Boywalkingpire. Yeah, I'm watching that. That ship is rough. That's it is. It is rough.

Speaker 5

You watched The Wire too, right?

Speaker 3

Hell yeah?

Speaker 1

Come on?

Speaker 5

Okay, so only got black.

Speaker 1

Gonna have Michael, and Michael has to be because I watched I watched Six Feet Under. That was really I just I'm just not like fantasy or like, you know, like Game of Thrones.

Speaker 9

It was just you know, white people with black people's.

Speaker 3

Nah.

Speaker 1

I wouldn't I wouldn't end it up.

Speaker 4

And then Sopranos was just like I had seen every gangster movie, so you know, Good Fellas a sceno, like.

Speaker 1

I just by the time they got as much fe Okay, The thing is is that because Sopranos came so close to the edge of where the new technology comes in, part of my fear is that if I rewatched the Sopranos, Well, no, it's just that, you know, it was before the age of the developed cell phones, before the age of like there's an episode where like a new Starbucks opens across the street and they're trying to figure out should they shake them down, only to realize that like, oh, that's

not a mom and pop operation, like we can't. That's a multi quote right, and that they're the new dinosaurs. It's so it's very Pelly Jacket.

Speaker 4

No, And you know what, it's an interesting you say that because the parts of the wire are like that too. And I still think the wire is like one of the like the greatest show, but technology, some of that stuff it didn't really hold up.

Speaker 1

Well yeah, because it could be fixed now, like if you can send a photo or if you could But I still say that in my top three, Sopranos is still number two.

Speaker 5

Is that HBO shows, Is that what you do.

Speaker 1

I ride for I ride for the wire. Sopranos are breaking bad. That's my my top three. Okay, yeah, I know you gotta. I mean, you know you gotta. You gott at least watch why James de Gandal.

Speaker 3

I'm just like, when do you, in particular amrr watch it all night? I'm like, are you so fucking busy and like creating ship all the time? Like when do people watch it? It blows my mind?

Speaker 1

Well, I think we got time now, no, because I think the thing that I think people think, like you have to stop and go to a television. Like this morning, when I was making breakfast, I watched three episodes of kem Pill. Like I'm trying to recap on that to see if it's still holding. But that's a show. I think that's a show.

Speaker 4

I think that needs to be a list on Netflix or streaming services wherever of shows that you can watch while other ship right, you know what I mean it that needs to be a subgenre of like shows you can tweet because it shows you got you got to pay attention to and then it's some shit you really.

Speaker 1

Right about that? So I use key and peel. I use key and Peel as my occasional background on Join but can look and still not miss a thing, or you're not missing ship.

Speaker 4

It's like a Tyler Prairiy movie. Like you can walk into a Tyler Pray movie. You know exactly what's happening.

Speaker 3

You read this scripture and you know what it is.

Speaker 1

Speaking of a witch, speaking of a witch, speaking of witch. Yo, man I got, I got, I got caught in the web. Man I got caught in the tra No dumb, I watched one all right. So you remember when they were coming at Tyler for being the that his BT plus show, his show Sisters. Yeah, god, all right, so look, no, no, no, no,

here's the thing. It was curious. No, this is this is literally curiosity killed the quest because I came in because I tarantinoed it and came in at backwards when when All Black Twitter tried to cancel Tyler for not hiring a staff and wrote everything himself, and I was like, all right, all right, let me see one episode and then next thing I knew like I watched nine episodes.

It's almost like the Kardashians, like one of them shows where you'll never publicly say you watch that you on but just one episode came on and the other episode came on, and I knew it was bad because when like Gracie walked in the room, then it was like it was like electric blue status on Playboard when you're like twelve years old, like.

Speaker 4

I gotta go to last gotta let Oh no, maybe I was watching History Channel all himself.

Speaker 1

Yeah, and you could tell.

Speaker 5

It's about a group of women. Honey, it's about a group of women.

Speaker 3

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah ps ps.

Speaker 5

I just wanted to add a show to your background show thing.

Speaker 1

I heard, Yo, that is fun, but I just can't. It's fun, it's it good, it's funny. Yes, it was watching Atlanta fallon before like it was like we all got to watch this and we saw an episode.

Speaker 3

I really haven't watched a lot of TV or been a consumer really for like I don't know, just not my whatever. You know what I used to watch when cable was still a thing. Fucking QVC and HSN. That's what I email and tweet through the.

Speaker 8

Most, like the deepest character studies, the saddest like just like such high functioning addiction issue like and the.

Speaker 3

Slips in is fucking a genius character study. I'm trash. I'm from Long Island. I'm trash. Yeah, I don't know. I think like my everything was like building up to broad City and then I'm like, well I've seen broad City? Have you seen broad City? And you know it's like I'm just I don't know. And now I'm like, okay, I take stack of the industry a little bit. And also like we're all on our fucking asses all the time, so it's like it's time. But yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1

It's baffles me. Every every creative I know, they never like they create, but they never like indulge into the drug that.

Speaker 3

And it's like I did when I was a kid, you know, like I used to watch like, yeah, a lot of TV as a kid. But then once I was like off, I was like, okay, time to like output.

Speaker 1

Mm hmm. I start. There's some Brooklyn ship bill not that you will watch Sesame Street. And you often make fun of me for watching Sesame Street. Rules a lot was on Sesame Street. She is on Sesame streetdle you have a kid, I have two, but I work on the music director Sesame Street. He's the Joe Roposo of Sesame Street. So you were on its great he's the reason why you're on Sesame Street.

Speaker 3

Oh sick, it is my joy.

Speaker 1

It's great. It's Noodle improved two point zero real.

Speaker 3

I love it. It's so weird to have like three year old audience and a fifty year old audience. It's spans, it's not. That's cool.

Speaker 5

The newer character is that, I'm sorry.

Speaker 3

There's like mister Noodle and he's like a clown. And then he has like brothers and sisters because he's doing other stuff. That's a clan.

Speaker 1

Yeah, okay cool.

Speaker 3

And then like people like Sarah Jones was miss Noodle for a while. His sister Debbie Diggs was mister Noodle. His brother christ Yeah.

Speaker 1

And now all right, so I mere needs Can you be gentrification Noodle? Can I can?

Speaker 3

I Brooklyn Noodle? I have like a semi mom and pop coffee shop whatever, my blue bottle coffe So you watch Sestame Street.

Speaker 1

I remember it well, I don't actively watch it now, nice Saved Thompson.

Speaker 3

Wow, the old ones are fucking sick, like legit ass television, you know, the seventies and eighties ones. I still I like to watch those clubs sometimes.

Speaker 1

You know what I just learned Bill I don't know if I told you this. So the movie I'm working on about the Harlem Cultural Festival, the last day, the last week of of that of that concert, the home Culture Festival is essentially and I'm not calling it black Woodstock, but you just did your people people often describe it as black Woodstock because it happened at the same time

that Woodstock happened, but just for black people. But what I discovered was the reason why the very the very last week the Cultural Festival wasn't taped was because the camera and crew had to set up and work for a news show shot in Brooklyn called Testame Street. And on the pilot episode was Luther Vanros and Phronsie Thornton. Wow wow under Yeah. So if you if you google, the name of their band was called Listen to My Brother. So it's like one member of Chic Luther Phronsie Thornton,

and they're doing this thing like count to twenty. If you look up, the name of their group was called Listen My Brother, and it's the pilot episode.

Speaker 3

That's fucking sick.

Speaker 1

It's the pilot episode. But yeah, they they performed at the Cultural Festival, and that's the one thing I'm met that I have known Luther Vandros at nineteen, a.

Speaker 2

Member of Chic before she, and that's when Nile was playing in the Sesame band.

Speaker 1

So that's right exactly.

Speaker 7

Wow.

Speaker 1

Yeah, now well now I don't think now it's in that first clip, but he joined in seventy one. So that's how that whole New York crew of like Lisa Fisher, how young he is? Oh my god, yeah that's him in nineteen.

Speaker 5

Wow, this was funky.

Speaker 1

He was fifteen. He looked like he just wanted a full shift at Like they just don't make black people.

Speaker 3

Like that no more.

Speaker 5

He's still flicking his hips like.

Speaker 4

That no more, dude, Like you look at pictures of Oldest ready, Like it was like when I watched the it was like an oldest Redding died at twenty six.

Speaker 1

I was like this nigga was twenty six. He looked like he was like forty something.

Speaker 3

Yeah.

Speaker 1

I can't make Oldest reading in his twenties at all. Twenty seven yeah, yea. Anyway, I gotta wrap up because I have another job to do, but I have people to play music for.

Speaker 7

Uh away, what's what's the what's the thing you're going into for the weekend. What are you doing on Saturday? You know what you're doing Saturday or tomorrow.

Speaker 1

You know, I'm one of those people. You're being phastious right now, aren't you.

Speaker 5

I'm doing that because I'm acting like, you know, I'm.

Speaker 1

Really bad Friday, I know I'm doing Oprah's thing. So Oprah's doing uh Tyler Perry and Oprah in the same fucking episode. Yeah, the Oprah's doing this. Oprah's doing this like twenty four hours, uh, fundraising. I guess she's like, you know, Jerry Lewis, like raising money for twenty four hours. So I believe that I'm djaying on Oprah's virtual fundraiser thing for it's an odd amount of time, Like I'm djying for twenty seven minutes. Oh wow, who's the person counts the seconds? Like twenty six?

Speaker 4

But I have to ask a question though, I mean, with the whole celebrity fundraising thing, I mean talking is a little kind of a paradox because it's like, Okay, you're a rich celebrity, and I'm not saying you in particular mirror.

Speaker 1

I'm just saying just I'm definitely not right. I'm just connected.

Speaker 4

Yeah, no, absolutely but it's like, Okay, if you're a rich celebrity and you're asking people to donate to the crisis, Nigga, we are the crisis, you know what I'm saying. So you're asking us to donate to the crisis, so then y'all can give that money back to us.

Speaker 10

I was just asked for like a peacock fantasy's digital thing, and I was like, NBC is asking for human beings.

Speaker 3

But the thing is they're matching. So I was like, Okay, that makes sense.

Speaker 7

Okay, that means okay, but there's levels because that stuff ain't for you though, because you ain't.

Speaker 5

No, no, it's supposed to go through it like it's for the food banks and stuff.

Speaker 7

I hope that you ain't going to the food banks and getting you some food because Love Supreme doesn't pay me.

Speaker 1

So I have to.

Speaker 3

But I hear that. I hear that. Yeah. Different. It's like a billionaires fundraiser, you know what I mean, Like New York, Like, can the billionaire that we have, like the like so many billionaires, can they help at least make voting by mail happen.

Speaker 1

That was upbout Wisconsin with that, Yeah, voting by mail in Wisconsin. That's that's going to be very very interesting. Oh what were you saying, Steve? Are you about to go out and apply? Isn't it? Is that team the seventh I was just gonna as a billionaire. I was just going to say cool and you know, like, thank you, thank you so much.

Speaker 4

Before we go, quick question Alana, So you said that you're you have a partner. How is quarantine affecting your marriage or relationship?

Speaker 3

My marriage, my husband, and actually it's actually okay. At first, I was like my mind, I was seriously like everything was just like shattered or whatever.

Speaker 1

But but then I want you to describe everything. You describe everything with the flare of a Broadway actress.

Speaker 3

I was like, I was like just losing my mind altogether. And I was like, we gotta go, we gotta get out of we gotta go to as long I gotta get out.

Speaker 1

You know.

Speaker 3

It was just like so antsy in general. But and like I was having personally like a lot of ups and downs. But he, I mean it's like really peaky ship. But he's really been like helping me just like be and myself. Just like you know, we had like arguments and like worked through the ship, but we're in like a place where we got like a rhythm. Gone.

Speaker 1

Yeah, I've learned about mirroring, mirroring, mirroring where the exact same. Yes, when you when you are having a debate or a disagreement or an argument, whatever. It's more important that the person that you're having with it feels that they are heard as opposed to you being right yep, or solving it. So I would have to repeat the words you say. Okay, I understand how you feel. You told me that this particular bread was made of seeds and da da da da da da da. And the thing is, if you're busy,

I was given a hypothetical. The thing is is that if you're if you're repeating and mirroring exactly what your partner says, you're not busy channeling him out to figure out what you're butts.

Speaker 3

Okay, let me say this is my my one of my best my best friend as a psychiatrist. He was just telling me about using this tactic with his partner and it's from this book Getting the Love You Want, And it's that book like that tactic is based on non violent communication another book and I haven't let them got got them have them? But right, yes, oh, I was like, but like it's I think with this quarantine, it's like you got to sit like what cost is describing.

It's like, because you're like stuff, you got to like sit in it and like actually walk through it, but that that actually hearing them before. You're like my defense, Like it's like there's more time than ever, so I feel like it's a good time if you're like, have some tools. I guess I got a lot of therapy.

Speaker 5

Oh that was great, Yeah, that.

Speaker 3

Was I.

Speaker 5

Helped a lot.

Speaker 1

Anyway, you'll be having Sugar Steve, uh babe, Bill Fan take alo and uh, thank you. I appreciate it. Thank you for coming to.
